OP, walk me through what you think “POV” means.
Plot twist, the OP is another party member entirely who just happened to look at the bard right after it happened
DM: It’s about sending a message
Bard uses cutting words
“You’re just angry, Demon because your god is an abusive employer and never appreciated you. You’ll never be good enough for them.”
Demon: I WILL SIEZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION
bard to party: I’ve dealt with the demon and his god is going to have his hands full for a while.
Paladin: drips off of ceiling
Straight up has a similar situation with a gibbering mouther and the barbarian in the party.
It crit and I rolled a total of about 50 damage. The Barbarian then failed his strength save.
The barbarian had less than 5 hit points left and was knocked prone
Edit: The best part was the barbarian was raging so he had advantage on the strength save to prevent going prone. He literally could only fail if he rolled 2 1s due to his strength and being a barb. He rolled 2 1s.
Yeah pretty unlucky on the barbarian’s side
Literally a DC 10 to not be knocked prone and he had a +8 with advantage. 2 nat 1s later and he was knocked down.
The ranger landed a crit on his turn (which was next) and finished the Gibbering Mouther off, which let the barb stand on his turn without issue but he was blinded by one of the others.
To add more context, the barb had the highest hit points in the party. Everyone else was hovering around 30 for their max. Also the combat was 4 Gibbering Mouthers that started the fight spread out and nearly surrounding the party.
In general it was a hella cool combat that was teetering on the edge of oblivion for most of it. Which in all honesty made it that much cooler.
POV of seeing you seeing the palladin getting one shotted
