This is the first question I asked the oracle to set up the scene. No, but ... it appears there was but they probably assumed it was just two drunk people dancing for no real reason. Is the hermit and Minerva drunk enough to have a disadvantage? No . Do our heroes have a surprise round? This question I asked with an advantage giving that the villains were focused on their task and that they thought Fitzhugh was still locked up. And of course, they would have no reason to think there was a creature like the slime sentinel on Fitzhugh's side. The result to the question was: Yes, and ... they also have advantage on their first attack. "Good. She didn't even go throu...
