When Vox Machina went to save them they found the demon and it had adorned itself with the kidnapped children to use as armour. Keyleth attempted to use thorn whip to dislodge one of the children and bring them to safety but due to a very unlucky dice role ended up accidentally snapping his neck in the process. Following this she was so devastated that she took a six month hiatus from adventuring to figure herself out. It's not like she disintegrated a kid for the laughs.

    My favorite part of this is the fact that GLADLY by chance Laura had an enchanted with „revivify“ coin given her by Sam.
    I mean, one thing is when characters revive a friend fallen in the battle with their contributions to the ritual. But how would you have a straight face if she died like this „Yeah sorry God, she had issues, but we love her anyway“. That could easily be a permanent-permanent death.

Gust of Wind might have launched her to safety. Her turning into a bird would have definitely would have saved her and then she could have just turned into a fish later to get the item. And her turning into an Elemental first would have probably gave her just enough hit points to not die die since I don't remember what her hit points were at then.

      @shadowmage1988 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yeah it is 20d6 but Matt seemed not to like that for the max fall damage or he forgot about it. Not sure considering it is a homebrew world with many homebrew rules. Falling damage not capping could have been one. Or it was for the God comment, to show who the true God was. I recall not if he ever replied to people yelling what max fall damage is. Since the rules are just a guideline and any DM can change them as they wish, just gotta stick with said change when it comes up again really to keep it consistent unless they honestly did not know what the actual ruling was and then go with the actual ruling. Lava damage being one of them once Matt found out what lava damage actual was.

    • @theinsanewombat1899

      Normal falling rules yes. The damage that was dished out. Looking at their HP as of now if the Character Sheets on CriticalRoleStats is up to date(levels appear to be). Following massive damage rules where the remaining damage has to meet or exceed your maximum HP It would kill everyone in the party outright outside of Grog. He'd just fall unconscious. With normal falling rules and at max damage, the Twins survive it would a few HP to spare, Pike would just be left at 1.
