About that time our blind, heavily armored, one-handed, Paladin swung from the chandelier.

You may remember Merriam from this post last week! She’s our Aasimar Paladin, who also happens to be blind, wears a veil, and wears heavy armor.

Last session while fighting a necromancer Priest in a large dinning room, Merriam decides that she wants to hop up on the dinning room table and swing from the chandelier in order to move farther than her usual 30 ft so that way she could reach the priest.  

Parker (who plays Merriam) rolls a nat 20.

Merriam in all her heavy armor, blindness, and javelin tucked under her nub. Jumps onto the table and grabs onto this octopus-like chandelier and flies towards the now startled priest. Stabbing the priest with her javelin.  

It was a majestic and confusing scene.

Bonus:

Merriam has adopted 7 Orphans off the street (one of which is my character, Wednesday) and she brought two of us with her to this mansion we were in to help spy. Tuesday is the name of the other orphan. Tuesday attempted to do the same thing Merriam did but rolled a nat 1. He jumped up for the chandelier, broke a piece of it off and landed on his back. Where he continued to lay for the rest of the battle.
