I've found this book helpful, personally.
I've already adjusted a couple of possible upcoming situations for PCs. Instead of "how many guns/katanas would make a challenging but balanced fight, toward going toward the next level?" Smart NPCs, who had their thing going on way before the PCs showed up. It's a whole different way of thinking. Goblin lord, defender of his realm, orcses and tricky magic-users pushing in. Defense of the tunnels vs raiding force going out. Etc. Decisions, decisions. And hobgoblin bullies coming in. Etc. Etc.
What a great idea for a book for GMs aand players.

Very excited. I had a somewhat difficult holiday season and learned of an issue I must address with one of my children. I will do my best to reply to posts responsively and not delay the preogress of the game.

Sorry to hear that, Ben. I hope all goes well. Thanks for the heads up.

Both are nearly blind from darkness by the time they reach its deep-shadowed bottom.
Hi. Just a friendly reminder that, as per the DMG, infravision only detects warmth. So the rock face of the crater, and any creature that isn't warm-blooded, wouldn't be visible.

If there's time, Mungo sets the glyph to block evil alignment characters only.
Hi jemmus. I don't think this is possible, based on the PHB spell description. But if you say the glyph's name, you can pass through the rift unharmed. Mungo knows its name.

Inferno: I know this may take multiple rounds. Maskelyn is working as quickly as he can.
In the latest DM post, he slides down the rope for his action. Next round, he can cast the spell if you still want him to. Thanks.

Sorry Pixie. We're past three days. I'll NPC Fiefo and move things along.

Mungo's adrenalin surge dies down, along with his battlelust. The amateur strategy and tactics buff wonders if using his gloves of shocking grasp on the first go might have been an overkill decision. But he remembers a maxim of the great Moleman military strategist Onko: "If you knock them out before they can try to hit you back, you will never get hit. This thought deserves careful consideration." And then he recalls another of Onko's maxims: If you anger a strong enemy, it will pretty much most likely fly into a blind rage and try to use its full might to try to flatten you. A wise Moleman gives this thought thoughtful consideration." And another: "When a huge, overpowering opponent has become enraged and has but one avenue of escape or attack, it would be good to get there first and close it. Give thoughtful consideration, etc."

Fiefo will scramble to a position 15’ or so back and to the left of Connak. Once there he’ll draw his bow.
“Well, this is finally it, guys. Certain death, just like I always said,” he shouts,
“On the bright side, no more Mondays…”

Hey Rex and jemmus:
On what surfaces exactly are you inscribing your Glyphs of Warding please? Thanks.

I was thinking Mungo was inscribing on the ground. But if the unstable surface would be a problem, then on a tree trunk. If there's one available in the right area.

Thanks. Where on the ground please, specifically?

Mungo will use one round to create a glyph covering 5 square feet. It will be around 2 yards left of where he's marked on the map. (If he can move that far and still cast the spell this round). The top side of the square will abut the wall of the cave.

If it's left (west) of Mungo it won't seal the cave mouth.

I was thinking on the ground but looking at the map and where she is I don't think that will be effective. If you are OK with it she will change her action and cast Protection from Evil and try and push it back into the cave so she can seal the cave.

Feel free to alter your action if you like.
Please read the spell description of Protection From Evil to make sure it's what you're thinking of.

I don't think that is going to work either. I will leave my post as is and try and get to the cave opening to place the ward there. If she can't get there she will fight with her mace. I will add an if/then post now. Thanks

I'm not sure what the distance or scale is...
It's one square = 10 feet. Squares are visible inside the cavern.
Also, a human-sized PC's initials indicate an area roughly 5 feet by 5 feet.
Gnome or ratman-sized PC initials represent roughly 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet.
