[World Boss] A Grave Visage

Quest Level: Paragon only
Format: PBP + Owlbear, VC required (see below)
Expected Duration: 5-6 hours

The Warden of Bones moves with intent. Wherever his goals may be, he can not be allowed achieve them.

STOP HIM AT ANY COST!

Prebuffs on World Bosses

For World Bosses the decision has been made to limit prebuffs to only spells that have a duration of 8 hours or more, and are level 3 or lower. Upcasting of those spells is allowed. But higher base level spells, such as Heroes' Feast and Foresight, are not allowed to be cast "freely" as a prebuff. They must be cast in-quest, expending their resources. This includes spells from items, such as from Enspelled Weapons/Staffs/Armours. Class freatures and other effects that last 8+ hours are also allowed as prebuffs.

DM table rules

VC is required. You chose if you want to talk or not, but I will be using VC for above table communication, questions and clarifications.
Here to have fun: Banter is great as long as everyone is civil and respectful.
PvE only: There won’t be a need for PvP. In the rare cases that PvP is relevant it’s only allowed on the condition that every involved party agrees.
The Warden of Bones and his spikes can not be flanked.
Grappling: 2014 grappling rules. Monks can use dexterity (athletics) when initiating.
Shot or chug: Common and uncommon potions can be used as a Bonus Action, other potions take an action unless otherwise specified. Drinking a Potion of Healing with an action gives max healing.
The I in RAI: Sometimes the rules are clunky or silly. If the rules don’t make sense as written, they can and will be changed.
Fuzzy environment: There are limits to what I might describe in a scene. If you’d like to use something that wasn’t described, it might be there after all, within reason.
In the moment: Everyone is expected to be present. Real life can happen, but give a heads up before going afk. If you’re inactive for 5 minutes when your turn comes up, risk losing it. If it happens repeatedly you risk removal.
It’s your sheet: Learn your character before the session. Questions may arise, and that’s fine, but you are expected to be able to pilot your character.
