Disappointed there is no giant spider, Alice turns her attention to the NE pile of supplies while Cat inspects the large southern pile and searches it for valuables. But the spider isn't forgotten!
Yulya, can you ask the elders about the spider? They might still know something!

Ashley, can you let the lynxes patrol the cave entrance? I'd rather not be trapped in here!

Cat tries to reason with the Goblin ladies but they seem more apprehensive. One explains that they don't want to fight monsters. They also look confused when you mention a smell.

Cat is saying the equivalent of, your house stinks, to someone who is used to it.

The goblin leaders lead her to the loot and this is what she finds while Alice inspects the supplies to the Northeast:

[1d20+3=11]

There's at least 1500 silver worth of untouched supplies here that could easily be sold at Phandalin but it would need a cart to do that as even one crate would be too much to carry there. The supplies include grain, clothes, tools, alcohol, furniture, odds and ends that aren't especially useful to anything you're doing, a smattering of about anything you'd find in a general store but in bulk and unprocessed form. You figure this was at least the last shipment someone tried to send through to Phandalin. Amid this are many crates and barrels that had been opened and rooted through but the goblins have taken anything valuable.

 >>/6492/
> Ashley, can you let the lynxes patrol the cave entrance? I'd rather not be trapped in here!

Ashley sends Olga back to the entrance as a lookout.
Ashley reluctantly approaches the elders again and inquires about any supposed spider.
[1d20+5=25] Once again she's given the keys to the kingdom in terms of information, they're so happy to be allowed to stay in their home and with their newly found freedom, they say everything they know, but much of the information is worthless. Ashley gleans that there's a hidden chest among the supplies. As far as they know there's no giant spider, nor has there ever been, but one recalls that Klarg, one of the goblin leaders, was contacted by the bugbear King Grol to send a dwarf his way in exchange for payment, they never met the dwarf and don't know anything about him. They think Klarg put the payment in the chest and they say you're welcome to it. They don't care about far away kings or dead leaders. They also say that several of their girls were sent to that castle as well. Ashley figures they were sent as slaves.

Ashley looks through the southern pile of supplies and searches for traps.
[1d20+3= 10] 
She finds the small chest, about 12 inches in width and weighing about 15 lbs, it feels heavier than it should. She carries it out of the pile and presents it to Yulya.

Ashley attempts to pick the lock as she doesn't recall seeing any key.
[1d20+2=12][1d4=1] The lock stubbornly refuses to open. She thinks it's a DC15 lock.

"Alice, you've got nimble fingers, care to try?"
Alice has a +3 bonus to pick locks at the risk of breaking a pick. Ashley's already tried once and her next failure will break a pick.

Imagine if we had a cart that would make things a lot easier...
Yulya dismisses the idea of taking anything.
Is there any container we could use for a firebomb?

> Ashley finds the small chest, about 12 inches in width and weighing about 15 lbs, it feels heavier than it should. She carries it out of the pile and presents it to Yulya.
Yulya is delighted about Ashley's find and applauds but before she can interfere Ashley already attempts to pick the lock.
Wait wait!
Dont rush Ashley remember I can cast GUIDANCE on you first before you try! This should reduce the risk of breaking picks!
Yulya summons Alice and casts GUIDANCE on her

Hai, hai! I'm on my way!
Finding neither a giant spider nor any interesting treasure in the scrap, Alice comes over to Ashley and Yulya to inspect the treasure chest.
Ooh, nice chest Ashley! With that density there's some heavy metal in there for sure. Let's hope it's not lead...
Gimme the pick and I'll try but don't get mad at me if I break it! I'm a weapon of mass destruction not a locksmith! Can't Cat just crack the chest open with her paws?
And why don't they have the key? Did that king give them a treasure chest they can't open as a joke or what? Or did they lose it in all that trash?

Perhaps temporarily, I am limiting what can be done per turn. You will not likely notice a difference.

Previously we decided there are free actions, like switching weapons or raising a shield, there is movement, including split movement, that's not included here, there is 1 action unless otherwise specified, there are up to 2 bonus actions (I allowed 2) and there is a use action, not to mention reactions that are not to be included here either.

So 

Action
Use
Bonus 
Bonus
Free
Free
Free
Free...

I want to limit this as it can possibly exceed what is reasonably expected to happen in 6 seconds. 

I don't want to be petty or stingy, but for the sake of estimation, count most things as 2 seconds. Using a potion, attacking, and Bonus action is already a full turn. 

Casting a spell, raising a shield, and hiding, that's a full turn.

Alice shenanigans are somewhat excluded, I will sleep well at night knowing that whether she's evil or not, she's not a cheater.

So keep this in mind for the future that if there was some combination of moves that appear to be legal but more than 2 seconds

I may at my discretion limit these to three per turm.

So as a bonus, for instance, if all you did on your turn was attack once, say Cat did this, she should be allowed to do something else as part of that turn to fill out the turn.

One swipe of a big sword doesn't feel like a full turn.

Nick or cleave can be considered the 2nd third of the turn, and then she should still have time to do something else in that turn. 

Because she has claws, for instance, I'm considering two claw attacks for her per turn one of them would include nick.

For "light weapons" like a dagger, I might consider two attacks per turn. And something else like a bonus action etc.

Consider this something I'm watching and feel free to take advantage of this, mostly Cat, but say Yulya may for instance may be able to cast a cantrip and a support spell like heal. It's tricky here, but I may consider low level spells like cantrips to be cast twice a turn, consider them like a dagger. For instance, yulya wants to use the Goblin staff and cast sacred flame and light, or perhaps even sacred flame twice. The ring of quick casting in essence stops time or reduces casting time to 1 second, something like that.

Just something I'm considering.

> Alice shenanigans are somewhat excluded, I will sleep well at night knowing that whether she's evil or not, she's not a cheater.
Alice doesn't cheat. That's cringe. I even took the shitty stats I rolled. The more undesired the outcome, the more fun.

But still...
Won't this proposed system make the game even more complicated? Sure, the vanilla system is a compromise, but it keeps things simple, clear and balanced. I feel we're already very conservative with our actions per turn and that's fine. Packing too much into a turn feels cheesy.

Also would this also apply to enemies? Multiple attacks per turn make a huge difference and a goblin with a light handaxe would suddenly deal the same damage (2d6) as a greatsword wielder if you give all light weapons 2 attacks. 2D4 for an ordinary dagger is also OP.

And what would this mean for that high speed elven dagger? 3 attacks per turn? 4?
Or if Yulya casts Sacred Flame with the ring of quick casting? Also 3 or 4 attacks? That seems excessive for us low level rookies.

Also consider that my bonus high speed multi-attacks are my main feature as monk who neither deals nor can take a lot of damage otherwise. I only get bonus unarmed strikes which are pretty weak. If everyone gets multiple attacks with their weapons this breaks the game's balance and puts me at an extreme disadvantage compared to high damage dealers.

So I would vote for strictly limiting things to 1 attack per turn unless specifically stated otherwise in the rules. I think it's fine to do another thing that turn after a quick attack but not attack again.

 >>/6483/
> balance

As they progress in the other run, Bear is approaching level 6, the others level 5, their goal is now set at gold plate, Freya's final mission will require two gold level (level 10) adventures and it has been determined that only Freya and their Ashley will do that. 

As it turns out above level 10, monsters struggle to have meaning. Characters and monsters are so overpowered that it becomes a coin flip as to who wins in some cases.

To prevent this, monsters become bullet sponges that are otherwise less strong. That's okay too, it plays out, but there is discontent in the community over playing above level 10.

Eventually you will all choose something you wish to accomplish, a final mission or milestone that would be a culmination of your adventuring life.

Freya and their Ashley have theirs. The others don't yet.

There's also a grind plateu between level 10 and 16 or so, I will adjust leveling to make sure that's not felt assuming you go that far before the host bodies die IRL.

So...

There is another way to do it and I am researching that in an effort to keep 5e interesting, challenging and enjoyable. 

> complicated 

Not necessarily as we're not strictly adhering to rules, as you know we are not dontrinal. Nothing will be more complicated than your character build.

> cheesy
 
You are always free to point out the cheese.

At level three, you will experience harder creatures with abilities that will challenge you, the current attack vectors will make that difficult. In essence you are all still squishy and your DPT is weak and needs some help so that monster encounters don't become 10 round attrition matches or if the monsters are adjusted, then perhaps two-three rolls in the right direction bypasses them all together. The battle with the wolves was one where without that focus it would have been beyond cheese or TPK. I don't understand the 3d4 design choice for wolves, it felt like that was a trap and I got stuck with it too.

> enemies
I am researching the enemies of other systems and they aren't more powerful but they are more interesting and easier to balance. More resistances, more things they can do, means less HP so your weak attacks still feel reasonable.

They may have second attacks but they have penalties for that second attack.

3 attacks with a magic dagger isn't out of the question but in what I've seen, the first attack is normal but the second attack would say ignore some or all of the bonus, so it's less likely to hit and your attacks would be genuine "second attacks". 

Again, this is just something I'm considering.

For now, attacks like nick and cleave already fill that niche, but giving Cat other things she can do and Yulya more than a single sacred flame attack and nothing else she will have more MP soon so she may be given other things she can do to fill out a turn. I will be highlighting them here later. 

So for now, don't worry about it, I'll formally propose changes here, and it's always up for reevaluation.

Perfect! You should create a start-up and sell those!
Why are our brains sp crazy? Is this normal?

Host dreamt he was playing video games with middle school friends. No girls. He watched first and didn't understand what the game was about. There were several growing colorful circles on the screen that eventually popped like soap bubbles. The controller was an oversized disposable razor that exuded a pinkish liquid from its blades. Don't ask me why, I just don't know. He didn't know what to do with it either. Then he got lost in the apartment of his friend and couldn't find out again.

I finally managed to have a dream as me after a long time - and remember it.
We were hiking along a path that cut through a forest with slopes on both sides. We climbed up because there was less vegetation and I wanted to bask in the sun. Going up a gravel slope we found a nice meadow but there was a young couple. Not having sex, at least not yet but on the way. Awkward. I dragged him along and we waked over a landscape of meadows. There was a family with a fat girl (yes, girl) with a very short skirt. You could see her panties. Nope. Not with me around. Again dragged host on. We came to another meadow riddled with burrows. Looked like from prairie dogs or something. But it was huge cartoonish black mice, the size of a guinea pig that dashed around between the burrows. I tried to catch them by leaping at them but no chance. Host had a net and managed to get some and stuffed them into a bag. Soon we had a bag of mice and went home. We ran into some Star Wars sandpeople like bandits wielding spears that made nigger noises and wanted to rob our mice. This was still in a peaceful meadow landscape with other people walking around in some distance, totally ignoring us. I was ready for the usual branching spine attack but grabbing the spear of one of the sandniggers and beating him with it was enough to make them run away and disappear.

Not a dream thing but this morning Joy woke up, not me. Yes, apparently Joy was fully and completely switched in and had to wake up instead of me.

[Joy] it was awful, I hated it.

Yes that little snuggle-bunny was so tired, and cute, and fell back to sleep for another half hour then woke up again. She also experienced a dreamlet between.

This has never happened before.

Imagine losing your job because your tupper overslept. 

I do think I woke up a few times but don't really remember. It was rather unspectacular and didn't last long.

Weird hypnopompic dream nonsense this morning. I was in a b&w manga, wearing a bear suit. I was standing on a balcony or terrace looking down on a town square full of people. It wasn't a dynamc scene, just a drawn page. I had a speech bubble with 3 unrelated nouns that didn't make sense. Host remembered them when he woke up but then forgot.

 >>/6468/

She says it felt uncomfortable to be tired and didn't like it.

Another weird dream. I was warden in a prison camp. But there was nobody but a few goats and other guards. All men because fuck me. I felt I was more like a prisoner myself. I knew I had to work there a few more weeks before I could go home so I was counting time. It was boring. At least the scenery was nice. The camp was in a Central Asian mountain landscape, green treeless pastures and snow capped mountains. Very beautiful, but very lonely. The other few guards just stood there like NPCs doing nothing. There was one friend from kindergarten, now my age, who spent his time sleeping in his room. Suddenly I was tupper and told him you know me, I want to be outside in the sun, not indoors. So I wandered around outside. It was one of those fenceless prison camps in the middle of nowhere. You could leave any time, just to die in the endless mountain wilderness.

I decided to do something useful and made a list of things I need to do when I get home. I suddenly remembered I had bought a piece of land near my home and had not been there in years. This is actually a recurring dream. I suddenly remember I have a house, garden or other facility I totally forgot about and had not visited in months to years. Once it was a cellar full of aquariums (the fish were still alive), once several greenhouses, an abandoned factory or an attic full of interesting stuff. But this plot of land was eerily realistic. I had seen it in several dreams. No idea where the brain got this from but I actually had to sit down and think if I actually had bought and forgotten something like that until Alice popped up to dismiss the idea as insane.

I've never heard about growing strawberries from seeds! Will it survive the winter?

I have planted guava seeds in a pot now. I wonder if they will germinate. It was a weird fruit from the botanical garden not from the market. The pulp and seeds were yellow but the seeds turned pitch black when I washed and dried them before potting. Like charcoal.

It would be interesting what kind of fruit it bears. Commercial strawberries are highly hybridized so the offspring often splits and has traits which are significantly different from the parent plants.

 >>/6430/
Guavas are cool, I like their bark! The fruit are also good. We bought some pink ones on our recent holiday. They had lots of seeds but you could eat them. Keep in mind that some guava species are extremely invasive so you better not plant them out in nature. Well you live in a huge city anyway.

Harvested Medlars this weekend, they are the last fruit to ripen. They need cold to turn into a brown pulp that tastes like Apfelstrudel. The yellow fruit in the pic are not ripe and inedible. The brown are ready to be consumed or processed. I cook the ripe fruit  and squeeze them through a food mill with a sieve to remove the seeds and skin and get a brown mass. It can be frozen and will be used as cake and Christmas Cookie filling.

Some commies plastered the neighborhood with antifa stickers, putting them on lamp posts and even mailboxes. That never happened before here. What's the world coming to? I'm a neat freak and hate stickers, graffiti and trash. Anyone defacing public space with this shit should be shot. 

So host went out to remove as many stickers as possible. An old neighbor saw him and helped. He's based. Neighborhood loli's mom also complained about the stickers and praised host for cleaning up. Neighborhood is still alright though there are more and more sandniggers. The impacts are coming closer.

Of course they are. I don't know what would happen if you'd  spread political stickers here but you would certainly not do it again if police caught you. It's vandalism and we don't like vandalism or other annoyances here. And especially not rioters. Those get beaten with the cane and / or imprisoned for many years.
So strangely we have no problems with stickers, vandals, rioters, homeless, beggars or drug addicts. They do exist but not for long.
