for now I'd rather try to protect, then perhaps if it's almost over and we are winning i will attack to see what happens, or doesn't......
(The specter didn't have a physical immunity tho, just a resistance? It's worth attacking just to see fmpov. If that fails we disengage and sprint to the room with the chandelier so I can try lighting it to remove the potential combat advantage shadows get in the dark perhaps? Have you considered using the silver shortsword perhaps?)

Level up pl0x. Don't wanna long rest personally until we can combine it with a level up and come out of it at full capacity and some new spells/abilities we can use right away 😏💯👌. This dungeon is doing it's damndest to stop that though 😂😂.)

(I didn't make fun of the running away idea, just that you thought that was the worst case scenario, lol)
(You're not wrong, worst case scenario would be we try to flee and/or use the sunlight to our advantage just to find out we either can't flee and/or the sunlight does nothing. So then we're even further damaged with no significant change to the situation and die with haste, GG, quest over, adventurers got rekt before even hitting level 3 😂😂)

(also I'm gonna put out there. This area was shrouded in mist consistently. It just occurred to me, that misty/foggy weather negates the effects of sunlight, unless that's changed. Basically, we might not be able to run, cause shadows previous to 5e could move thru solid objects like other ethereal creatures. AND that's it's daytime might be irrelevant cause of the mist/fog present in this area 😐)

(also, keep in mind Drafter in essence made fun of my presumption we could run away. Being shadows, they are fast, you might not be able to outrun the one on you, then ur doubly fucked, cause ur squishy AF being a wizard. Basically, you could easily just be screwing urself here. Especially if they can move through walls and floors like in previous additions and cut you off before you get anywhere. 😂)

we didn't attack, we went to grab the cloak and orb, they attacked. And before you complain about that, we're not the ones that have been grabbing anything not bolted down that could be of value 😂😂
And weak? Maybe for a coward! But we are still more than capable of fighting these foes!

I was able to avoid the ill effects of the ghouls, but I think whatever ill effects these may possess will be more difficult to shrug off.
(We all were able to avoid it, well those of us that were hit.the Ill effect was paralysis or some shit like that, which is a constitution save looking back at the rolls. Hopefully we learn this stuff from my attempt to investigate and identify them fully.)
Being ethereal type creatures I maybe just swinging at the wind
(True, but it wasn't the case for the specter, another ethereal creature? My guess would be you can still hit them, but we're about to hopefully find out regardless)

well, I may have spoke too soon on that. I'll just say that sunlight weakness can mean different things
So basically, make sure to check and not assume? 😂

@secularmerlin
(read the above post regarding spiritual weapon. You get an attack and potentially a second one if another shadow is close enough. It only last for 1 min, so it's done after this round if I'm not mistaken in 1 round = 1 minute.)

(so if it's weak against sunlight, that doesn't mean radiant... fiddlesticks 😑)

@TheDredPriateRoberts
(try attacking first. If they're weak to sunlight(radiant) then Merlin and Earth will likely make short work of them. If I recall correctly that spiritual weapon adds 1d8(radiant) to the normal 1d8 from an attack. Merlins aboit to hopefully pump out pretty solid damage next round *crosses fingers*)
You create a floating weapon that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again. It can take any form you choose. When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 forcedamage + your spellcasting ability modifier.As a bonus action, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it
(2x attack in one turn this turn maybe? Cause it appears Merlin can attack on the same turn as the cast, then move it and attack again as a bonus action if any shadows are within 5 ft of the one in front of Eikka. 😮)

@Smithereens
For an individual an IQ test result doesn't mean much, but in large populations we see trends and correlations that are very useful for scientific study
I kind of get what ur trying to say, but am a little confused. If for an individual it doesn't mean much, then how can it mean something for a group, if those groups are comprised of, well, individuals?

Taking the disengage action allows you to move without provoking opportunity attacks)
(Interesting, so disengage+ move would be the proper course when fleeing? Assuming we can move faster than the shadows, which I doubt lol.)

@TheDredPriateRoberts
(probably about to get smacked pretty good myself. A necessary cost to conclusively determining weaknesses fmpov. I think in a turn you get to move + take one action. So we could dodge + retreat, if my understanding is correct. Dodging being a Dexterity check if I recall correctly. Don't you have a shield to block with tho?)

Many of these children may never be reunited with there parents. Who do we have to thank for this. Greyparrot?
Your concern over the safety of children is betrayed by your lack of concern over illegal immigration. Have you even seen the stats for trafficking, rape, assault, and death of migrant children and teens? We're talking, a vast majority end up raped and/or assaulted, partocularpy females. But yes, let's incentivize the choice and act like that doesnt have the consequence of being morally complicit.
Also, speaking of trafficking, numerous separated children were abandoned by their "parents" if they even were their parents. As in, their parents were given the option of going voluntarily or waiting. They left, without their kids. Something tells me the abandoned kids weren't theirs to begin with.
Also, human trafficking, it exists, imagine that

Linking to the old HOF
Disagree with this, DDO is not Dart. Linking to the DDO HoF sends the message that actions on DDO matter, even a little bit, to accomplishments here. When they simply do not, as they are separate websites. Recognition for accomplishments on DDO were given to those individuals there. If it means that much to them they can favorite the page themselves and look back at the inductions at their own leisure.
I agree with the other two tho.

@ResurgetExFavilla
Perhaps you could explain how transplanting the previously HoF list is going to eliminate the concern of bias in voting and the result that will have regarding new users?
Unless all transplants from DDO who deserved to be in the HoF there were already inducted, I fail to see how transplanting the HoF list is going to eliminate this bias and unfairness that you are concerned about. It may reduce it, but there's still, per your arguments, going to be present members that cause the system to be carried out in a biased and unfair manner?
At that point, as pointed out, why have it at all? It's only going to discourage new members, again, per your concerns. It may be less so, but that doesn't change it will still be as such. I may rejectreje premise that users can't operate without bias in voting, but for purposes and discussion I'm assuming the reverse to be true, as you are.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
(we should consider retreating to the room with the chandelier. I can light it with presdigitation hopefully. If I remember correctly these bad boys are weak against sunlight(radiant damage) and get advantage on hiding/dodging in dark/shadowy areas 😐). I can attempt to charm them with Unearthly Chorus maybe?
(@Drafter- can whether or not these bad boys are affected by unearthly chorus be added to the investigation?)

I flip backwards away from the shadow. Bow now in hand, I aim, but pause and attempt to identify the creatures before us and determine what they are.(investigate shadow.)
We need to concentrate our attacks on one at a time.

As you approach the statue, the shadows on the wall begin dancing more frantically

we should examine the cloak and sphere from the statue and these rooms.
I agree, then we should check out the unexplored room(to the north of the mimic room).

I cast presdigitation on the goop, it now smells like the crisp ocean air.
Do you really have to do that right now? We should rest, not get worked up.
Pulling out my lute, I begin playing a soft lullabye, recuperating from the fight. (Song of Rest)

After the mimic dies, I assess the situation. My eyes fall upon a ghouls corpse and out of curiosity I examine it to identify any weaknesses.(Investigate(?) ghouls corpse).
I don't know about you three, but I need a short rest to tend to these wounds. An hour or two should do fine. Will give me an opportunity to study these creatures too.

(Identify seems to be for figuring out magical properties, not determining type of creature.)
You choose one object that you must touch throughout the casting of the spell. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them

(tbh idk if undead are even necessarily weak to radiant damage. We're gonna have to start identifying things. I could try examining the corpses to figure out what they were and any weaknesses post fight I suppose)
