| Sep 6, 2020 at 8:18 | comment | added | Eddymage | @DaleM These sounds strange to me: do you mean the insects from the Insect Plague spell or insects in general? | |
| Sep 6, 2020 at 5:54 | comment | added | Tobold | Totally agree with the insects being audible. On spells interacting with another in a "logical" way, I don't think that is implemented in 5E or any previous edition. A Fireball overlapping an Ice Storm or Sleet Storm spell neither has a diminished effect, nor diminishes the effect of the other spell. RAW and verisimilitude are two very different things. | |
| Sep 6, 2020 at 0:14 | comment | added | user2357112 | Insect Plague fills a sphere with "swarming, biting locusts", and swarming locusts are highly audible. The players are going to hear them. (Before anyone makes a "spells only do what they say" argument to argue that the spell doesn't say it makes noise, please note that it also doesn't say it magically silences the insects. The whole "spells only do what they say" argument gets taken way too far to justify way too much.) | |

| Sep 5, 2020 at 14:31 | comment | added | Eddymage | @KorvinStarmast a very interesting setup indeed. But looking at Cloudkill description, there is no distinction between magical and non magical creatures: when a creature enters the spell's area or begins its turn here, it takes the damage. Hence, RAW I think that all the insects will die as they are inside the cloud. The DM has nonetheless the last word on it. | |
| Sep 5, 2020 at 13:59 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | I assume the insects aren't natural and don't get killed by the poison cloud I assume they do - 20th century verisimilitude creeping in - but there's a lot of room to work with stuff when it's magic. That's a nice tough fight you've set up, I'd love to hear how it goes (if you can drop by Role-playing Games Chat after it's over) | |
