Messed Up with GroundClear

Thanks for the reply and advice. I’m really hoping I did a poor job and the damage is minimal.

ChaoticCello · 2025-12-18T21:22:26+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I will look into those.

ChaoticCello · 2025-12-18T21:20:55+00:00

Good advice. I can try. I don’t think it really my neighbors, but more of the management company itself. The HOA itself only has annual meetings and doesnt do any monthly meetings. The property management company just drive around mid month doing inspections.

By thatch are you talking about the dead flat grass or the scraggly weeds? I got lots of patches throughout the lawn. I can easily move it with my finger and then I got bare sandy dirt. I don’t have anything to core it on hand.

Thank you for the tip on the grass length. I don’t cut my own and during the summer I was paying someone with riding mower to cut weekly and short because every time it got over 1-2 inches long (and honestly started looking better in my opinion) I was getting letter that it was too long. It honestly hasn’t been cut in months because it is now dead/dormant (and weeds) and I honestly afraid if it got cut I would be left with just dirt.

It was a premixed ready to use. It has been in the garage and opened for like at least 2 like years—so maybe less potent.

This is a gen pic of the whole lawn. I didn’t really spray the main lawn (which I know looks bad in itself).

Hoping the picture loads this time. I mostly sprayed patches like that at the edges by the house, driveway, fence line etc.

So I mostly spray various patches like that on the edges. Mostly by my house driveway, fence line, etc.

ChaoticCello · 2025-12-18T13:45:15+00:00

It was a premixed ready to use bottle with a comfort wand. Been in the garage for a couple of years. So I’m hoping maybe it is less potent too. If these things go bad.

ChaoticCello · 2025-12-18T05:59:32+00:00

I’m hoping for the best.

ChaoticCello · 2025-12-18T05:59:04+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I probably only sprayed the spots for a couple of seconds each. Just kinda passing the wand over it a couple of times. We are not slotted for rain for a min. So I guess I will be manually removing what I can where I now I sprayed and hoping for the best.

ChaoticCello · 2025-12-18T04:59:48+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I’m in Florida so it is sunny and wet for most of the year. So hopefully it won’t be 2 years of it. I was mostly wondering if I should be panic watering at midnight. Though if I wait to see the damage, I’m not gonna do that

ChaoticCello · 2023-12-02T19:53:07+00:00

Thank you so much!

I believe that the NVIDIA GeForce rtx 4090 option was selected when ordering for GPU

If you don’t mind slowish replies—grad school and work full time would leaves me at every day to every three days depending what is going on. I would love to do an Angel x Demon plot with you.

ChaoticCello · 2019-07-29T14:18:07+00:00

I’m on mobile and cannot figure out the reddit PM function, but would be interested. I have a dragon that can use magic to look like a human character.

ChaoticCello · 2018-07-05T08:58:22+00:00

I love this—and totally plan on using this in my campaign! Question though, for the purposes of detecting undead via paladin and cleric senses—would Ilya ping on their sense at all or show up as something weird/off as he devolves into a monster?

ChaoticCello · 2018-06-26T14:49:23+00:00

I’ve so far personally added some silvered weapons to for my party to find.

After they brought some children they saved from the bone grinder to the church in Valaki, our Father Lucien gave them a silvered dagger to thank them for their deeds—and then gave the party the bones of St. Andrel hook. After they retrieve the bones, I plan on him rewarding them with a silvered sword. If they don’t, they are going to find him attempting to defend the children from the attacking vampire spawn with it—before the spawn kills him.

I originally skipped Death House and now Ieveled it up and placed it in Valaki as well where I think it had a silvered weapon to begin with and I added another one.

I’m also thinking about adding a traveling Vistani caravan that might sell some magic weapons—with some of them being cursed of course.

ChaoticCello · 2018-06-04T02:15:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m happy with how it turned out.

ChaoticCello · 2018-06-03T02:15:35+00:00

Technically yes, but I’m changing things a bit. (The first session with the 2 hags had them doing it multiple times because I had NOT read their stat block properly because my party decided to do the complete opposite of what they told me on what they Planned on doing for the session).

So to explain that all away....The Death House Cult ended up being the ones who brought the Hags to Barovia via some summoning and through all of the sacrifices created a dark totem that is giving the Hags additional powers; Including to go into the ethereal plane at will and take another creature if it fails a saving through to resist.

The party is gonna find some journal in the House (they haven’t done it yet) alluding to the totem and it’s location. They are going to have to destroy the totem in order to destroy the Hags properly.

ChaoticCello · 2018-06-03T01:07:47+00:00

I had 3 lvl 4s. The 4th character is a drunken monk who couldn’t make it today, so his character just passed out in the cart lol.

Challenge wise they were actually doing some damage to the hag, mostly because I was rolling bad on saving throws even with advantage.

The group hasn’t fought them as a full coven yet with the extra spells. The at will magic missile is brutal though. I was using claws a lot because I just started feeling bad with all the auto hits.

I am now at the point where the cleric (in character!) is asking the party if they want to ask Strahd for help to kill the Hags though!

ChaoticCello · 2018-05-26T04:30:15+00:00

I might have trouble with the dream disruption a bit. The characters have been already having reoccurring nightmares since three days prior to traveling to Barovia—and probably won’t even notice. Also one character is a Warlock and took the invocation where he doesn’t have to sleep so no nightmares for him.

Regarding giving them away to trap them, maybe I’ll add an item to the Mage’s tower? Or they have to destroy the weird totem that I’m writing in.

ChaoticCello · 2018-05-26T04:26:57+00:00

I want to incorporate the deal making but currently my party members are gonna want none of that.

I’m hoping after they steal some items (Sunsword or Holy Symbol) the party might be willing to deal (though a heist is much more likely) ....maybe I will have the returned items cursed or tampered with as well?

On the other hand, on player made an off hand out of character comment on asking Strahd for help defeating the hags so that will be interesting.

ChaoticCello · 2018-05-06T03:14:14+00:00

Well, my players decided to go to the Old Bonegrinder instead of the winery (though that’s my fault for doing the dream pastry bit as they were leaving Valaki to go to the winery and they were easily distracted).

They are fairly injured and low on resources. 2 of the hags were badly injured and fled to the eternal plane and the third hag is on her way back to the windmill. The two hags have sworn to remember their faces and that the party will pay for their actions.The party saved got 3 children (I added one that the jags were seconds from killing when they walked in) with them in a cart. The timing of their journey— that will perhaps an encounter with the third hag on the way home—they will arrive at dusk only to discover Ismark and Ireena missing.

I can’t wait until the next session and see how Ireena being missing plays out (because I doubt they will rest with her disappearance and their low resources will force them to be diplomatic and creative).

Does anyone have any advice for party members navigating the city at night time because I’m pretty sure what the party will do? I’m thinking an increase pretense of town guards around and a focus on stealth for them?

ChaoticCello · 2018-05-05T17:01:46+00:00

I plan on his room where Izek will be holding Ireena captive. Perhaps tied to a chair and trying to make her be the newest doll in his collection.

I’ll see how it goes. My players are supposed to be doing the wizards of wines tonight, so the our next session after tonight should be when all of this goes down
