170. The Lich Lord, Pt. 2

[00:00:02] Speaker A: Welcome back to Barely D and D, your Sword of Dungeons and Dragons podcast. I am the DM now. My name is Ms. Magoo. And we're back with part two of episode 71. [00:00:18] Speaker B: 70? [00:00:20] Speaker A: What did I say? I meant 170. [00:00:25] Speaker B: Bizarrely, for some reason right now, off the top of my head, I can recall that episode 70 was the toadstools, and that was a very different episode. That was a very. My. My clearest memory of the toadstools will always be the point in the session. I don't remember what engendered it. I don't remember what happened. But Abby made two calls in a row that were really bad, and she was like, guys, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna do anything else the rest of the session. And you were like, abby, you're fine. That was one where, you know, 70. You guys were. You guys were trying to get into a biased town controlled by Kefkins, and you, like, disguised yourselves and you were like, where are the toadstools? And it just went really poorly. [00:01:03] Speaker C: Yeah, but I gained it like that all the time. [00:01:11] Speaker B: We are not going to. There's not gonna be a ton of pleasantries in waiting. No pleasantries. [00:01:16] Speaker D: Dang. [00:01:18] Speaker B: This is for my note taking nerds. This is episode 170, part two, the Lich Lord. [00:01:22] Speaker D: So I thought it was 170 and a half. And a half. [00:01:27] Speaker B: Daniel, I'm so sorry. It's episode 170 and a half. This guy. [00:01:34] Speaker D: This guy. [00:01:35] Speaker A: Wait, wait. I have a. I have a comment for the viewers. [00:01:38] Speaker B: Okay. [00:01:39] Speaker A: We are each. Zach said, welcome to Varsity, because Abby is playing Greta and Tello. Daniel is playing Ron, Grimm and Craig. Jackie is playing Rowen and Boss, and [00:01:54] Speaker B: it's a good sign that she couldn't remember who the other one was for a little bit. That's a good. That's a vote of confidence. [00:01:59] Speaker D: I think she was trying to remember herself. [00:02:01] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. She's like, I know Bosman. Who's this other dude? Who's this other Jabroni? Also, as a note listener, we never said, but Micah was feeling really sick at the beginning and then had to hop out. And then Landon was feeling sick at the end of this session, and so. And we're recording. Actually, Hoffa. Okay. Hoffa's gonna take over for Micah. Let's go. [00:02:27] Speaker D: She can do Craig. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Yeah, but we're just gonna get into it. Also, Abby is just a heads up. Your voice was super muffled. If you want to check whether or not your microphone is still recording, we can't hardly hear you. I oh, there you are. So much. [00:02:47] Speaker C: Burnt my fingers in the oven. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry, buddy. [00:02:52] Speaker C: I'm sorry. [00:02:53] Speaker A: Get some aloe vera on there. [00:02:54] Speaker B: There's probably a middle ground. There's probably a middle ground somewhere between where we couldn't hear you and now where the mic's inside of your mouth. There's probably a middle ground. [00:03:02] Speaker C: Is this good? [00:03:04] Speaker A: Okay, good. [00:03:05] Speaker B: Anywho, we'll get reveling. So we're actually just gonna launch back into combat. I get the music. [00:03:13] Speaker A: Wait, wait, wait. We weren't in combat yet. Okay? A cloud kill happened, and we were [00:03:19] Speaker C: like, [00:03:21] Speaker B: yeah, in the top of the tower. No. Lord Eant has closed his skeletal fists and hissed a hateful command. And a cloud of dark gas has appeared all around you all. I need everyone to make a constitution saving throw as cloud kill is cast around you. [00:03:46] Speaker D: Everyone within 10ft of Craig gets plus three to the roll. [00:03:51] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:03:52] Speaker A: Are we. Jackie, don't forget my D4. [00:03:56] Speaker B: And, Jackie, don't forget. Yeah, yeah. [00:03:59] Speaker A: What? Am I within five or whatever? [00:04:03] Speaker B: Within everyone. [00:04:05] Speaker A: Am I within whatever? [00:04:07] Speaker B: Also, the map is up. Everyone needs to look at it. Also. Just because it looks sick. [00:04:14] Speaker D: Okay, now I gotta keep. [00:04:18] Speaker C: I can't do that. That would not be allowed. [00:04:21] Speaker B: Okay, [00:04:24] Speaker C: I need to get some. I need to get something. [00:04:27] Speaker B: Okay. [00:04:29] Speaker D: Okay. [00:04:30] Speaker B: That feels. [00:04:31] Speaker A: Used his per diem yet? [00:04:34] Speaker B: He has not. [00:04:37] Speaker D: Okay, I am ready when you are. [00:04:39] Speaker C: This is a concept. Yes. [00:04:40] Speaker B: There are saving throws. [00:04:42] Speaker D: Ron Grimm got a 30. [00:04:45] Speaker B: Well, that'll do it. [00:04:48] Speaker D: And Craig got a 19. [00:04:51] Speaker B: Okay, sick. [00:04:53] Speaker C: This is Constitution. [00:04:55] Speaker B: This is constitution. [00:04:58] Speaker C: Okay, Tello got a. Oh, God. A nine. I. I'm gonna use my per dm. Can I give my per diem to Tell? [00:05:13] Speaker B: No, I don't think that would have helped, Tello. [00:05:19] Speaker C: Dang Red. I got a 16. [00:05:23] Speaker B: Okay. [00:05:24] Speaker A: Ro got a knight, and Boz got a dirty 20. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Phenomenal. Were y'. All. [00:05:30] Speaker D: Were y' all adding plus three if you were close? [00:05:34] Speaker A: Oh, I didn't even add the plus three. [00:05:35] Speaker C: I wasn't. So Tello got. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Daniel could sense it. The DM in him was like. You guys didn't add your numbers. [00:05:43] Speaker D: Hello. [00:05:43] Speaker C: Got a 12. Greta got a 17. Three plus 18. I caught an 18. [00:05:53] Speaker D: Sixteen plus three is 19, right? [00:05:55] Speaker B: It's okay. I already did the math correctly. What did you get, Jackie? [00:05:59] Speaker A: Ro got a 22. And boss got a 23. [00:06:03] Speaker B: Excellent. These are much better numbers than the one you guys gave me a moment ago. Good call, Durn. Goal. Especially because you are trying to beat the Lich's spell save on this. So I Don't like that you guys hadn't added up those numbers. That would have been a lot worse. Now, Ro Boz and Rongrim succeed with 19s. Greta and Craig fail. No. As does Tello. So, the face Abby made. [00:06:40] Speaker D: Hey, Zach, Just for my sake. [00:06:43] Speaker B: Yes. [00:06:43] Speaker D: Does this fall in the realm of area effects for my flail snail shield, or is that more like fireball? [00:06:51] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a really good question. It is technically an area of effect spell, but it's something you're breathing in, so. Yeah, no, Very, very good question. You would need, like, a force to be coming at you. [00:07:01] Speaker A: Does Craig still breathe? [00:07:03] Speaker B: Yes, because he's no longer bound to. In fact, he very much. Well, no, no, no, no. Daniel. That was a valid question. He used to not breathe, but he does now. [00:07:13] Speaker A: Why are you asking? [00:07:16] Speaker B: Daniel's like, wow. They'll ask anything. [00:07:21] Speaker D: Wait, wait. Can I breathe? [00:07:23] Speaker B: Is it okay? [00:07:25] Speaker D: I've been holding my breath this whole time. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Damn. What if I hold my breath for the next three years? Okay, that is 20 points. Poison damage. [00:07:38] Speaker D: Are we immune to poison? [00:07:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:42] Speaker C: Yeah, we are immune to poison. [00:07:46] Speaker B: You are. So nobody takes any damage. Guys, Heroes Feast is a powerful spell, and many adventuring parties have used it, have used it helpfully. But I think this might be the one of the most useful instances Heroes Feast has ever been to anybody. It just saved you from a cloud kill. It saved your entire invading force force from the tower's effects. Masterful choice. So nobody takes any damage, which is just phenomenal. And he already used one of his spell slots. However, at the top of initiative, I do need somebody to roll me a D4. I'll do it. I'll. Okay, got him. [00:08:28] Speaker D: Three. [00:08:31] Speaker B: Okay, number three. [00:08:32] Speaker D: My Lord. [00:08:33] Speaker B: Actions going here. No. Lord of the Tower, the foul Lord Ynt draws upon the great wells of magic flowing through the grave steeple around him for the next combat round. Lord Ynt has advantage on all attacks, and all of his attacks deal an additional three die of damage. [00:08:57] Speaker A: Ew. Ew. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Bad ew. Yeah. The sides of the tower arc with energy, and his eyes flare red as he just rises a little further up into the air, some of it whispering around his head like this corona of dark light. Why did you anyway? Oh, my goodness. The brother Ew is so. What is that next? With their readied actions, all of the skeletal figures are going to launch out against you guys. Oh, so this one is going to use its readied action to move. Move into melee with boss. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Wait, so are they? [00:09:52] Speaker B: This one? No. They were readying actions for when People, [00:10:00] Speaker C: Subclass feature restart now. [00:10:03] Speaker A: Yeah, every initial. [00:10:04] Speaker B: Which one is that? [00:10:05] Speaker A: The blessing of Blessing of the first Flame, the fire. [00:10:10] Speaker B: Does it say how many times you get to use it per rest? [00:10:13] Speaker A: Wait, no, it probably does not on my sheet. [00:10:19] Speaker B: For five money, it does. Yeah, because it's summarized on your sheet. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Our five combat rounds, boss and all allies who make a melee attack with a missing cheat. [00:10:28] Speaker B: Yes. You have a highly summarized version of his stat block. Let me. Okay, let me go dig for this. [00:10:36] Speaker A: I can look here, [00:10:40] Speaker B: if you wouldn't mind. It's. It's one of the Deep Magic subclasses which are pinned in. They're pinned in the Homebrew channel. [00:10:48] Speaker A: His doesn't say either on his character. [00:10:51] Speaker B: Okay, then I have to go digging. [00:10:55] Speaker D: Digging up gum hole. Dig it. [00:10:58] Speaker B: That was a weird thing to say at that moment. So, blessing of the first flame, the hope burning inside of you may be rejected to catch fire in the hearts and the hands of your. Your allies. Oh, wow. What good language, Zach. Good job. For a number of combat rounds. Yada, yada, yada. Fire damage. Always being sassy for no reason. I don't specify here either. That's awkward. But it definitely needs to have a duration on it. [00:11:29] Speaker A: You have a highly summarized version, Zach. [00:11:33] Speaker B: No, this is the whole version. It's embarrassing. Well, I'll tell you what, I may need to put some language around it later. But I didn't now, and I like to hold the rule that if I didn't say it, it isn't the thing. So he gets it again. [00:11:48] Speaker A: So, yeah, I'll keep track of those five rounds, y'. [00:11:50] Speaker B: All. I may fix that before the next time we play, but, yeah, right now it's going. Okay, so anyway, this one's going to ready its action and move all the way up against you guys. Now, their readied actions was to get up in your faces. They cannot move, thank God. Then attack. They have the one action, so that's that. However, as you all enter, this pile of bones rises up. Oh, I haven't been sending reference art. I prepared. [00:12:18] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:12:20] Speaker B: Hold on. Let me send them to you. [00:12:22] Speaker D: Is it Bone a comic book? [00:12:25] Speaker A: It's just a pile of sick reference. [00:12:28] Speaker B: Very in. Very in. Really good, Daniel. [00:12:33] Speaker D: The people at home are loving it. [00:12:35] Speaker B: The people at home are loving it. Okay, I'm gonna send you guys these reference picks. So this is the pictures of both the skellies you guys have been fighting, as well as the skeletal minotaur. But also rising up in the middle of the room is this massive bony snake And a. [00:12:54] Speaker A: Don't like it. [00:12:55] Speaker B: A bone Naga, if you will. [00:12:58] Speaker A: Haven't we seen one of these before? We fought one of these. [00:13:01] Speaker B: You saw. No, you completely avoided one. In the lair of the drowned witch. [00:13:08] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:13:09] Speaker B: Now you're not going to. So it rises up and it uses its legend, its readied action to. It rises up and its bones clack together. And then there's just this red bolt of energy that charges up its bones and then out of its mouth and it's going to cast lightning bolt and a line going this way. Is that an area all of you except. Yes, it is an area of effect. Well, it's a line, but it gets everybody within certain range of the line. So everybody other than Boz is targeted. So I need deck saving throws from everyone other than boss. [00:13:45] Speaker D: Remember, you get a plus three. [00:13:48] Speaker B: Got a four. Four. [00:13:52] Speaker D: Okay, cool, cool, cool. I have other stuff anyway. I also am going to. I am going to use my reaction to. I feel like use for Greta. [00:14:04] Speaker B: Right. [00:14:04] Speaker D: I feel like Greta probably needs to not die as the most gobs. I'm going to roll a bunch of stuff and then. Sorry. [00:14:16] Speaker C: Hello. Got a 22. Greta got a 4O then. [00:14:21] Speaker A: Yeah, Greta does need that. Ro crazily got a 27 with all of her. [00:14:27] Speaker B: Dang. [00:14:29] Speaker A: That might be the biggest saving throw I've ever had. [00:14:31] Speaker B: Greta, you got a four with the plus three from Craig. [00:14:35] Speaker C: Is that for all of our decks? [00:14:37] Speaker D: Everything. [00:14:37] Speaker B: Yes. So one more time, if you're within 10ft of Craig +3 on a saving throw. Also, high level paladins are crazy. [00:14:46] Speaker C: So I got a seven then. [00:14:49] Speaker B: Okay. And I know that doesn't change your success on the saving throw, but I just wanted to make sure that that concept was making sense. Oh, I'm so sorry. What did Cree get? [00:15:01] Speaker D: Oh, Craig got a five. [00:15:05] Speaker B: Oh. And what did. What did wrong Grim get? [00:15:12] Speaker D: Ron grim got a 25. Very different scenario here. Also, just from the other effects I have, I'm going to take away 17 points of damage from Greta. [00:15:25] Speaker B: Phenomenal. [00:15:26] Speaker D: And then the bone Naga is also going to get hit for 17 points of damage. [00:15:30] Speaker B: Wow, that's excellent. [00:15:33] Speaker D: I'm also going to. I'm gonna reduce damage. Sorry. [00:15:43] Speaker B: Oh, I did not roll good on damage. [00:15:50] Speaker D: How much is what? [00:15:52] Speaker B: It's not going anywhere. It's not going anywhere. [00:15:56] Speaker D: I need the bone Naga to make a con save of 16. [00:16:01] Speaker B: Okay. I rolled a three. [00:16:05] Speaker D: Hell yeah. It's gonna take this terrible amount of damage, which is 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Eight points of damage. And I reduce that for my Damage? [00:16:18] Speaker B: Yes. [00:16:19] Speaker D: Hell, yeah. 10ft of Craig. Yes. [00:16:27] Speaker B: It's everybody. So the lightning bolt outward and strikes a bunch of you all, electrocating each of you a little bit. But as it does, Rongrim holds up his flailstale shield in front of you all, and the lightning catches on it and scatters off. And for the sake of flavoring, we'll say everybody takes less damage from it because I rolled five ones on my die. And we'll say that that was part of that. Rangon putting the shield in front of everybody was part of what deflected the damage. And as he does, as he did, some of the spirits wrapped up around Greta and, like, absorb some of the harm from her. Whoever these spirits are, Greta, they have saved you quite a bit. And so everyone who failed took 19 points of damage. Everyone who succeeded took nine. [00:17:11] Speaker D: I take one. Sick. [00:17:13] Speaker B: Yep, yep. [00:17:15] Speaker C: So do I take. [00:17:19] Speaker B: Greta is going to take 19 points of damage, but that's minus 13. [00:17:24] Speaker D: Minus 17. [00:17:25] Speaker B: Oh, so two. You take two points of damage, and then Tello takes nine. Ro will take nine. [00:17:36] Speaker D: Well, he should be able to take zero, right? Any whatchamacallit. [00:17:41] Speaker B: Oh, yes. [00:17:43] Speaker A: Foz takes nine. Right. [00:17:44] Speaker B: Evasion. So Tella takes zero, Boz takes nine, and Craig takes 19. So Craig's the only person who took full damage. [00:17:52] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. Okay, I got it. [00:17:53] Speaker B: These are the readied actions. Now we go into initiative. Oh, also, as you point this, the shield, back to this, back to the Naga, Rongrim, and you plant it down on the ground, and there's just this of energy. And then at the same time, your spirits wrap up around it and disrupt its energy. It's already looking pretty heavily hurt. Some of the bones are already struggling to hold to its form. [00:18:16] Speaker A: What kind of damage was that? [00:18:19] Speaker D: Lightning. [00:18:19] Speaker B: Lightning at the top of initiative is very unfortunately Lord in. [00:18:26] Speaker D: Damn. [00:18:27] Speaker B: That is very amazing. [00:18:31] Speaker A: So you spell his last name. I just have colosta here. [00:18:34] Speaker B: E N T. E, E, N T. We are gonna start by doing a stinky gross. [00:18:45] Speaker A: Did you fart, Zach? [00:18:46] Speaker C: Well, [00:18:49] Speaker B: hold on to that humor. [00:18:50] Speaker D: Okay? [00:18:53] Speaker B: He's. He's a stinkle. So he's got Lord of the Tower right now. So I'm gonna see what this one spell does. But unless it's a amazing. I know what I'm going to do. [00:19:07] Speaker D: Poop on a troop and call it dupe. [00:19:13] Speaker B: Yeah, he'll pick one of you. Hold on. Let me read this again. Yeah, he's going to point at boss. [00:19:30] Speaker A: Why? [00:19:30] Speaker B: And his finger will flare with. No, you know what? Actually, he's Gonna do this next turn. [00:19:34] Speaker A: No, it's fine. It's fine. [00:19:35] Speaker B: No, no. He's gonna do this next turn because it's better for him this turn to do something different because he has Lord of the Tower. He'll do this next turn. He's going to drop concentration on. On cloud kill. He's just going to. Because he gets. It's not affecting you all at all. He'll point a finger at boss. No. Somebody in the front can't get to you other guys. First of all, he's gonna float 10ft this way. He's gonna start doing this. Yeah. No, no, no. He's very intelligent. He just saw you use that shield to deflect spells. He'll point at Craig. He's going to point a. A withered bony finger and he's going to say, leave your doom alone waits here. And as he does, there's just this. This little beam of red light. But crackling with power energy thrumming and pulsing with it, flies toward Craig. I need a dexterity saving throw as he casts an seventh level disintegrate. [00:20:47] Speaker D: Oh, bad. [00:20:49] Speaker B: I need a dexterity saving throw from Craig. He has a plus three on his own save here. [00:20:54] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, not enough. I got a 15. [00:20:58] Speaker B: Can I use a reaction Unfortunate what the reaction be? [00:21:03] Speaker A: I would like to use. What's it called? I'm so sorry, I can't remember what it called. You're forgetting harmonic reconstruction. [00:21:15] Speaker B: Can you use that on anyone who's not you? [00:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I think I've done it before. Let me see. Let me see. [00:21:22] Speaker B: I bet you're right. I bet you're right. I bet you're right. [00:21:24] Speaker A: Wait, it says against you, so I [00:21:28] Speaker B: guess that is only for you. [00:21:31] Speaker A: I guess I used a different one. [00:21:33] Speaker B: Everybody say a quick little prayer for Craig as I need to get out Most of the D6 I have in this container. So disintegrate is 10d6 plus 40. However, for every level you upcast disintegrate, you add on another 3D6 and you cast it at seventh level. So that's another 3D6. So I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. However, he got Lord of the of the Tower as his legendary action. So he has another 3d6. [00:22:20] Speaker D: Two spells. Not just attacks. [00:22:24] Speaker B: It's all of his damage. [00:22:26] Speaker D: Ah, [00:22:30] Speaker B: so Craig is going to take 19 D6 plus 40. [00:22:43] Speaker D: Good night, death. [00:22:44] Speaker B: I'm not gonna lie. You guys have a lot of lucky breaks to start today. And they just ran out. Okay, so 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 45, 47 plus 40 is 87 points of force damage that Craig takes. So from where he is in t points at him. And as he whispers that. And the beam hits him, Craig, like, goes to move to the side, and the beam arcs in the air and strikes into him. And you all watch as. As it hits Craig, he just falls to his knees. And the sword. He catches him on his sword. He struggles and twitches, and as he does, he just. And blood coughs down his beard and his face dripping all over his armor. And you all watch as part of the tissue incorporated Craig's face degrades slightly and down his neck, and he's quaking with pain. That was Lord Ean's turn [00:23:57] Speaker D: pretty bad. [00:24:00] Speaker B: We are now going to go to. Yes, that is correct. That is correct, Jackie. Craig does have that in his possession. I don't know if that's a now thing, but it is something worth thinking about. Okay, that's Lord Eat. Next up is Tello. Rongrim is on deck. Greta's up after that. So tell. [00:24:31] Speaker C: Okay. [00:24:38] Speaker A: He had a seven. [00:24:38] Speaker B: Okay. [00:24:39] Speaker A: Doesn't matter. Don't matter. [00:24:42] Speaker C: Hello. Is going to. [00:24:47] Speaker B: He's right here. You're trying to figure out where he is. [00:24:49] Speaker C: I see him. Okay, thank you. White blob is a skeleton monster. [00:24:54] Speaker B: Yeah. So big skelly guy. Big silly guy. Skeleton snake lich. [00:24:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:59] Speaker C: Okay. He is going to. Is he within range? He is within range of the Lich. He's going to shoot with his crossbow at the lich. [00:25:09] Speaker B: I think he's going to need to move to be able to shoot anybody this well. No, that's not true. All of the people in front of him are very short, so actually he's fine. The other thing I will say is he's. He's been in a lot of serious combats. He's aware that everybody's in a big old bait ball at the moment, and he's aware that it might not be a bad idea to just start by getting out of the way by moving. [00:25:32] Speaker C: Okay. [00:25:33] Speaker B: If somebody wanted to drop an aoe, it'd be a bad time for everybody. [00:25:36] Speaker C: Okay, well, then he's gonna move. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. [00:25:46] Speaker B: Are you moving toward the green blanket or away? [00:25:49] Speaker C: I'm moving toward the green blanket to [00:25:52] Speaker B: the 5, 10, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Like, over here. [00:25:59] Speaker C: Yeah, that's perfect. [00:26:00] Speaker B: Wait, if he moves to there. Sir. Go ahead. [00:26:04] Speaker C: The. The. The. Like, gyroscopic things, those are just cosmetic. Correct. [00:26:13] Speaker B: They certainly look like magical carvings in the floor covered in glyphs. And they are glowing with power. [00:26:18] Speaker C: Great. Okay. Okay, so what were you gonna say before that? [00:26:28] Speaker B: That was that. Oh. Oh. If. If from this angle, he does just barely have a shot on eat next beside the bone Naga. So he can barely. Yes, that's 30. [00:26:41] Speaker C: Okay. [00:26:42] Speaker D: He could also hit the guy next to the good guy. Then he would have sneak attack. [00:26:47] Speaker B: Yeah, you can do that too. He could shoot this dude. He could go for either. [00:26:51] Speaker C: Okay, so. So that guy's facing away from me, so can I bonus action. Hide and then sneak attack him? [00:26:57] Speaker B: You don't need to. [00:26:59] Speaker C: Okay. Because I'm back. [00:26:59] Speaker B: An allies within 5ft you can get. No, if an ally is within 5ft of your enemy, you have sneak attack. [00:27:05] Speaker C: Right. Okay, well, I would. [00:27:08] Speaker B: Okay, excellent. [00:27:10] Speaker C: So I'm gonna roll. [00:27:11] Speaker B: Also. You can't hide. There's nowhere to hide here. It's a big open space. [00:27:15] Speaker C: Okay, I. Okay. [00:27:17] Speaker B: No, no. It's a valid question. Abby, I'm not grilling you. Just as a heads up. [00:27:21] Speaker C: Thank you. [00:27:22] Speaker B: There's nowhere to hide here. Unless he turns invisible. [00:27:25] Speaker C: Oh, that is gonna be a 26. 20. 20. [00:27:30] Speaker B: 26. [00:27:32] Speaker C: That'll do it. [00:27:33] Speaker B: 27. I'll do it. Yeah. [00:27:35] Speaker C: Roll all of my dice. [00:27:37] Speaker B: Roll for damage. And you have sneak attack. [00:27:39] Speaker C: That was not with one of my silvered arrows. I want to clarify. [00:27:42] Speaker B: Understood. Thank you. I appreciate that clarification. Also, just as a heads up, wrong game is on deck after this turn. [00:27:52] Speaker C: And then Greta. [00:27:53] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:27:55] Speaker B: And then Roe. [00:27:59] Speaker A: Wait, what about boss? [00:28:02] Speaker B: He is tense and initiative. [00:28:06] Speaker A: But Boz rolled a 16. Roll. Roe rolled a 6. I have here. [00:28:11] Speaker B: Boz rolled an 8. Just now you said Boswell the initiative. [00:28:18] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I have here. I wrote down all of our rules. [00:28:22] Speaker B: Okay. [00:28:23] Speaker A: Boss rolled an eight on the first initiative. The last combat. [00:28:26] Speaker B: Oops. [00:28:28] Speaker A: Because Craig. Craig rolled. [00:28:30] Speaker D: My bad. [00:28:31] Speaker B: I understand now. I've taken my pants and I've pissed in them, and now they're full of urine. Understood. Balls is after grit up. [00:28:43] Speaker C: We have an Australian listener, And Tello does 37 damage. [00:28:50] Speaker B: Remember that? We have an Australian listener, and Tello does 37 damage. That was for you. Australian listener. As Tello runs beside. Like, he sees Craig in so much damage and so much harm, and he just shouts, no. And he, like, sprints around the stairs, does this really cool, like, slide on the obsidian, whips out his. His crossbow, locks it. And. And as the bolt flies into it, it punches through the back of the skeletal figure in between vertebrae. And this. The figure ruptures and flinches and shoots Shakes as the energy inside it quakes. And as the energy is disrupted, it's like cracks, fissure all over the figure. And the figure looks cracked. [00:29:31] Speaker C: Oh, cool. [00:29:32] Speaker B: And Tello just quietly reloads the crossbow and whispers, leave Greg alone. And now it's Wrongdoom's turn with Greta and then Boz, who I'm gonna need help remembering in correct order. [00:29:48] Speaker D: Wait, I thought Craig was before Ron Grimco. All right. Sorry. Ron Grimson. He get on the other side of the bone. Naga next to the stairs so he can flank it. [00:30:03] Speaker B: This is Craig. This is a skeletal figure. Are you talking about the. The dragonborn skeleton? This is the bone that. The big box. [00:30:10] Speaker D: My bad. The skeleton. Well, they're both skeletons, right, though? Yeah. Well, is there a way? Is it. Can I get on the other side of him to flank it? [00:30:19] Speaker B: You're trying to be here? [00:30:21] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:30:22] Speaker B: Yes. Erm, as a knot. Oh, no, you're fine. Okay, go ahead. [00:30:30] Speaker D: All right, cool. I'm going to then call upon my fiery friend to make my trident burst into flames once more. With my shield ready, I'm gonna take two swings at advantage because I'm a big boy. That's so frustrating. I got two 19s on my advantage. [00:30:50] Speaker B: This keeps happening to you. And at this point, I've memorized what your 19 roll is. [00:30:55] Speaker D: 34. Yeah, it's a 34. You've. [00:30:58] Speaker B: Daniel, you've rolled so many 19s playing with us. [00:31:02] Speaker D: So many. I just rolled another one. [00:31:04] Speaker B: Only you were. [00:31:04] Speaker D: I just rolled another one. It's pretty fun over here, but I did make my big flamey boy, so I hope flamy boy damage does flaming boy stuff. Plus 26 to all this. Jeez. 10:20. [00:31:28] Speaker B: Jackie, I. I appreciate the note. I'm just gonna. I got so confused. Unless it's just really screwing over the party. No, it's okay. It's okay. I. Half the initiatives I wrote down were from this round of combat, and half of them for the last one. My bad. We're just gonna. I fixed boss's position, but we're just gonna roll from it with there, or else I'm gonna get too lost. [00:31:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:46] Speaker B: I appreciate it though. Thank you. [00:31:50] Speaker D: That's how that works. 82 points of fiery damage. [00:31:56] Speaker B: How do you want to do this? [00:31:58] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ron Grimm with his friend on the other side, like, almost using Craig as. Like, as the. The creatures of Batta coming down on Craig. He, like, pushes his shield into him and just brings up his trident over the shield and just stabs twice, melting each part of the Bones as it falls to the ground and heaping pile of ash, like in Skyrim. I stand before it and I know if I'm cry with Craig. [00:32:26] Speaker B: That's awesome. As the. As the skeleton falls apart and dies, Craig, like, struggles upward and picks up his sword, shaking. And he just looks up at you and goes, thanks. [00:32:39] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I. How many. How many feet of movement? I'm so sorry. 5? 10? [00:32:45] Speaker B: 15? [00:32:45] Speaker D: Did I move 20ft? [00:32:47] Speaker B: You. You moved 20. [00:32:49] Speaker D: Can I move in between the square? In between Naga and Craig? [00:32:56] Speaker B: You can do that? [00:32:56] Speaker D: Yes, I'd like to do that. [00:32:59] Speaker B: You interpose yourself as a defense between the Naga and Craig. [00:33:03] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:33:05] Speaker B: Really epitomizing the shield you talked about. [00:33:08] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:33:10] Speaker B: Next up, Initiative is Greta. Boz is on deck. Rose. After that, [00:33:15] Speaker C: Greta is going to [00:33:19] Speaker A: kind [00:33:19] Speaker C: of rush, just gonna quickly put a hand on Craig and cast cure wounds at the. Let's see. She's gonna. [00:33:33] Speaker B: What? [00:33:34] Speaker C: Sorry, sorry. She's gonna cast that one at the third level. [00:33:40] Speaker B: Okay, excellent. [00:33:41] Speaker C: So that's 3D8, which I will roll now. [00:33:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Daniel, I messed it up and we're so lost. We're just gonna. If. If I correct a reorder, Initiative, I'm. I'm. It's. We're just gonna roll with it. [00:33:59] Speaker D: Could I get the per diem back for Craig? Because I did use that for the Initiative. [00:34:04] Speaker B: Yes, you absolutely can, cuz I'm the one who messed it up. That is an incredibly fair request. Also, thank you for your patience. This isn't. I've got a nauseating number of details in front of me, so I really appreciate it. [00:34:17] Speaker C: Okay. Greg is going to gain 14 hit points. [00:34:25] Speaker B: Excellent. Oh, yeah, he needs those. [00:34:28] Speaker C: And then Greta is going to [00:34:32] Speaker A: go [00:34:34] Speaker C: south five. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Okay, that's an awesome way to describe that. [00:34:40] Speaker A: East [00:34:43] Speaker C: 15. 20. Nope, nope, nope, nope. From where she was. Oh, sorry. I have 10 more right there. Yeah. [00:34:59] Speaker B: Okay. Excellent. Oh, I'm sorry. I understand what you were saying now. Okay. Thank you for your patience. As the green energy waves over Craig, he takes a desperate breath and leans over his sword. And a subtle truth of fortification is whispered in his ear. Not in your voice, but in Ioun's. And he holds the shield up in front of him. Takes a shaky breath. He's still looking rough, but he's holding it together. It's boss's turn. Initiative. Then it's Ro. [00:35:31] Speaker A: Okay, which one is the guy in front of Boz? Which. Which guy? [00:35:37] Speaker B: This guy. [00:35:38] Speaker A: Which one is he? [00:35:39] Speaker B: Is he. Oh, the dragon born one's dead. It's only the min. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Okay, so it's the Minotaur. Is he looking damaged at all? [00:35:46] Speaker B: He looks 100% fine. [00:35:50] Speaker A: Could I do an arcana check real quick from Boz's point of view, just to see if he thinks this guy would have any immunity or resistance to lightning damage? [00:36:07] Speaker B: You can make an archon check. This is gonna be an incredibly high dc. So here's. Here's what I'm saying. The only reason you have the opportunity to make this check. [00:36:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:13] Speaker B: Is because you all have had enough. A number of experiences witnessing, viewing, and talking about Shiza at this point. So you're fairly familiar with his magic. You don't have a lot of other context than that. So go ahead and make an arcana check. This is going to be DC25. [00:36:27] Speaker A: Oh, well, boss can't even make. Well, yeah, I can, but he didn't get that. He got a 21, so. Okay. [00:36:35] Speaker B: He's not sure. [00:36:36] Speaker A: Okay. [00:36:37] Speaker B: You could certainly try. [00:36:39] Speaker A: Okay. Well, as a bonus. Bonus action first, he's gonna cast healing. Word on Craig. [00:36:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:50] Speaker A: He gets that extra healing, which I do have, and I'm gonna roll. So he is going to get. Okay. [00:36:59] Speaker B: I'm looking at Boss's stats. We got. [00:37:02] Speaker A: Oh, cool. And then where's Boss? [00:37:06] Speaker D: Is she [00:37:09] Speaker A: okay? [00:37:16] Speaker B: Wow. [00:37:20] Speaker A: 23 points of healing, baby. I rolled max on the. On, like, three of them. [00:37:29] Speaker D: Nice. [00:37:30] Speaker B: So that's awesome. [00:37:31] Speaker A: 23 points of healing, which is super. [00:37:34] Speaker B: Gets a lot of bonuses to healing. [00:37:36] Speaker A: Yeah. And I'm gonna Mark. [00:37:38] Speaker B: Hey, Craig's probably not quite so rough anymore. [00:37:41] Speaker D: Not as rough. We're back in the triple digits, baby. [00:37:45] Speaker B: Nice. Nice. Good place to be. [00:37:48] Speaker A: I'm gonna do. Because I don't want to use. I'm gonna do Call lightning on top of the dude in front of me or in front of. [00:37:56] Speaker B: You know what's really cool about that, Jackie? [00:37:59] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:37:59] Speaker B: You can't do. Call lightning if the. If you don't. If you can't summon the cloud. But this place doesn't have a roof. [00:38:06] Speaker A: Exactly. That's what I was thinking. [00:38:07] Speaker B: You can. To answer your question, Abby, you can. Yes. So Boz reaches out a hand and speaks in sylvan, evocatively toward Craig as this, like, magic and these little flowers sprout out of the gaps of his armor as red magic washes over him and he heals a little. And then Boz reaches up and he speaks in sylvan and. And raises up his hands. And as he does, golden fire catches in his palms. And you watch as he speaks in the many tongues of the deep Magic in The voices out of his mouth reverberate. You watch as a little patch of the storm roiling overhead changes color. The black clouds turn to a lighter gray, as if a storm derived by nature rather than this hateful magic. And a single blue lightning bolt strikes down toward the ground. I assume he's going to put it on the other side of the skeleton so it doesn't hit him. Yes. Okay, so this is a dex saving throw from the skeleton. [00:39:04] Speaker A: Yes, it is. [00:39:05] Speaker B: And at what level are you casting the call lightning? [00:39:08] Speaker A: I'm just casting it on first level. I mean, third. I'm sorry, at third. I don't know. [00:39:16] Speaker B: You're saying the first level you can cast it. No, no, I understand. [00:39:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Sorry. [00:39:19] Speaker B: If you would, Jackie, if you would find a place to take notes on all the things boss is doing just to have it ready for. Okay. [00:39:26] Speaker D: Excellent. [00:39:27] Speaker B: Okay, so what's his spell save dc. [00:39:30] Speaker A: Oh, boy. [00:39:31] Speaker C: Oh, boy. [00:39:32] Speaker A: Okay. [00:39:33] Speaker B: I think it's really high. [00:39:34] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it is too. But where is it? [00:39:37] Speaker B: I want to say. Well, what's a bonus right now? [00:39:43] Speaker A: Wait, it's 19. His spell safety. He has it marked. Yeah, it's one above mine. That's what I remember. Okay, so good. [00:39:53] Speaker B: I rolled a 17, but this guy is a plus zero to Dex, so he does not succeed. [00:40:00] Speaker A: He's gonna take 3D10 lightning, which is gonna buy my max on that one. [00:40:09] Speaker B: The way Jackie was ahead of us saying it and was already like, yeah, I know. [00:40:15] Speaker A: That's 22 points of lightning damage. [00:40:18] Speaker B: That's good. That's good for that. [00:40:21] Speaker A: And okay, each of my trans. I can use it to call down on it. Oh, wait. Under such conditions, if I'm outdoors in a stormy condition, my. The spell's damage increases by another D10 nickel. [00:40:38] Speaker B: You're totally right. [00:40:39] Speaker A: So how much was that? Did I say I had you? [00:40:42] Speaker B: You did. 22. You're gonna roll another D10. [00:40:45] Speaker A: Okay, well, I rolled a 2, so 24. [00:40:47] Speaker B: Hey, dude. [00:40:48] Speaker D: Hell yeah. [00:40:49] Speaker B: Damage is damage, damage. [00:40:52] Speaker A: And then especially in this day. Let's see. Movement wise, I think. Am I with it? I'm just within five feet of that dude, aren't I? [00:41:06] Speaker B: Yep. [00:41:08] Speaker C: Huh. [00:41:09] Speaker A: Okay, I guess I'll stay there. So I don't provoke opportunity. [00:41:14] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. [00:41:16] Speaker A: I don't really know what else there. [00:41:18] Speaker B: As a lightning bolt comes by, the minotaur attempts to move, but the heavy rusted metal axe on its hands sending. Seems to attract the lightning that arcs instead in a movement toward it. And as it electrocutes it, the skeletal creature shakes violently and Then as it stops, it's like a lot of the bones. It's actually kind of nasty. Some of the bones fracture because the desiccated marrow inside them superheats, expands and pops. And so the bones all over, and there's this horrible, sickly black smoke coming out of it. The creature just shudders and then looks up at Boz, the red light flaring its eyes. It looks fairly damaged by that. It took. It took a chunk of damage. Okay, sorry. There's. I'm really enjoying the experience of looking up at all of you, having to continually read because you're running two characters. And I just want you to know that this is what it feels like all the time to dm. It's just like. I'm, like, describing, and then I'm reading and I'm describing, and I'm reading. [00:42:17] Speaker A: Daniel's like. [00:42:17] Speaker D: I know. [00:42:19] Speaker B: Yeah, Daniel knows. It's just. It's cathartic for me. Okay, that bot. That's boss's turn. It's row. And then the bone. Naga is on deck now. [00:42:34] Speaker A: Okay, folks, let me look at what this. Where did my sheet go? [00:42:39] Speaker B: There it is. [00:42:40] Speaker D: Okay, so when is Crazy Craig. Just so I can know, I'm just [00:42:45] Speaker B: leaving him at what I got him from the first initiative. He's last again. Okay, you know, let's do this. Let's do this. Since I'm the one who got it wrong, let's just move him up one slot, and let's switch him with the skeleton so the minotaur skeleton will go after him. [00:43:03] Speaker D: Oh, cool. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Just because that's slightly fair. Yeah. [00:43:07] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:43:10] Speaker B: So I'll fix that in my notes. Okay. I'm sorry, you were saying, Jackie? [00:43:17] Speaker A: I would like. [00:43:19] Speaker B: Oh, I see what I did. I wrote wrong Grim's name on the sheet. Twice. I wrote wrong Grim's name in the part where I was supposed to put Craig. Okay, well, whatever. Whatever, Whatever, whatever. We're fine. We're moving on. We're moving on. There's too many details. Okay, you're saying. [00:43:32] Speaker A: Okay, first, I would like. I mean. Well, it's. Okay. Never mind. I'm. I'm not gonna do that first because I'm gonna do it at the same time. Sorry. The map just went blurry for me for a second, so I was trying to, like, refix it. Okay, so I am the one behind. Like, closest behind, Boss, Correct? [00:43:52] Speaker B: Yes. [00:43:53] Speaker A: From what I can see. Okay. [00:44:00] Speaker B: Nothing. Why do you ask? [00:44:01] Speaker A: Move up there. It's a radius. If I use. Okay. If I use my movement to get between Dragonborn And Bon Naga like kind of directly between them. Is there a way that I can not hit? Who's the one right by the. Is that Ron Grimm? That's right by the Naga. [00:44:32] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. [00:44:34] Speaker A: So no matter what. [00:44:35] Speaker B: What are you trying to use? What are you trying to use first? [00:44:37] Speaker A: I was trying to use burst. [00:44:40] Speaker D: What kind of damage? [00:44:41] Speaker B: No, you can if you go. Okay, five. [00:44:44] Speaker A: Five because it's a radius from me. [00:44:47] Speaker B: 20. How much movement do you have? [00:44:54] Speaker A: I have 30. [00:44:56] Speaker B: 25. If you move to right here and we can move you back. But if you move right there. [00:45:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:04] Speaker B: No. Wrong Grim is still in range. But if you move to right here. Wrong Grim's in range. But Craig and Boz are not. And the Skeleton, the Naga and the Lich Lord are all in range range. [00:45:15] Speaker D: I think you should do it because [00:45:16] Speaker B: I've got a lot of health. [00:45:20] Speaker D: I've taken two points of damage so far. [00:45:23] Speaker A: Okay, I'm gonna cast. [00:45:26] Speaker B: He did survive a fight with two. Two Krakens at the same time. [00:45:30] Speaker A: I'm gonna cast burst and simultaneous simultaneously. When I cast burst, I'm gonna cast baric insecurity on the Bone Naga. [00:45:40] Speaker B: Cuz it's a bonus action, isn't it? [00:45:42] Speaker A: It's a bonus action and it's in [00:45:43] Speaker B: place of a Bic inspiration like J. Slick move, dude. [00:45:50] Speaker A: And I'm going to do it on the bottom. [00:45:51] Speaker B: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I spent a very long time working on all these homebrew spells and having somebody use all of them feels very, very good. So thank you. [00:45:59] Speaker A: And I'm using On the Bone Naga because he's probably not super charismatic. [00:46:04] Speaker C: He is not. [00:46:05] Speaker A: Burst is going to be creatures crop must make a con save. [00:46:12] Speaker D: I'm good. [00:46:12] Speaker B: Okay, [00:46:15] Speaker A: that's true. [00:46:15] Speaker B: You are good at those Minotaur Skeleton fails. [00:46:19] Speaker A: It's gonna be force damage. [00:46:21] Speaker B: The Bone Naga fails. See what Inked got? It's an okayish roll. [00:46:32] Speaker D: Well, sadly I got a 2. So that's a 15. [00:46:36] Speaker A: But you're with all. But you're only. You're furthest away from me. Which means you're gonna take the least of amount of damage. [00:46:44] Speaker B: All three of your enemies failed. [00:46:47] Speaker A: Okay, so the one is there's no one within 5ft of me, right? [00:46:55] Speaker B: No. Are they all within 10 or the Naga is 10. This Minotaur wrong and ink are 15. [00:47:06] Speaker A: Okay so. So the one that's within 10ft of me is gonna take oh 14 points of for. [00:47:16] Speaker B: That was good damage. That was good damage. [00:47:19] Speaker A: And the ones 15ft of me [00:47:25] Speaker D: are [00:47:26] Speaker A: going to take Get a high. [00:47:28] Speaker D: Get a high. Get a high. [00:47:33] Speaker A: Six points of force. [00:47:34] Speaker B: Damage. Hey, damage is damage. And then that was the first damage done to in. So that's important. [00:47:43] Speaker A: And then the Baran security is going to. I'm attacking the character of the Bone Naga. I just yell at it. [00:47:56] Speaker C: Okay. [00:47:57] Speaker A: I feel like Rose just. Just trying to be like Rose. Not as she's not quick on her feet, but she can be a little bit intimidating. So I. I say when she hits the bar again, spiration. And she strums on song splitter. Just like gold. Like gold light like flashes in her eyes at the. At the. [00:48:18] Speaker B: Oh, heck yeah. [00:48:19] Speaker A: And it must make a charisma saving throw. [00:48:23] Speaker B: So I looked up at stat lock. It turns out it's actually really, really charismatic. [00:48:27] Speaker A: Oh, great. [00:48:30] Speaker B: And I rolled a 19. [00:48:33] Speaker A: No. [00:48:34] Speaker B: So that's gonna be 19 plus three, which is 22. Okay, so what's the effect? [00:48:43] Speaker A: Well, okay. Upon a failure, which it didn't do, but upon a failure, the creature suffers the following condition. When the targeted creature. Creature attempts to make its next check or attack, it must roll your level Appropriate Bardic inspiration. Die. And subtract the rolled number from their first check or attack. [00:49:00] Speaker B: That's nice. That's really. [00:49:02] Speaker A: But it didn't do that, so there's nothing. [00:49:06] Speaker B: Okay. [00:49:06] Speaker A: That it does. I don't think it does anything. [00:49:08] Speaker B: That might be really sick to use on the skelling. [00:49:11] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:49:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:12] Speaker A: And then how many feet away from. Wait, I used. I used all my movement, didn't I? [00:49:20] Speaker B: Do you have. You have five more feet of movement? [00:49:23] Speaker A: If I move five feet back, that won't. That won't provoke anything. I'm just gonna do that. You know, just step a few inches back from the. [00:49:32] Speaker B: Well, as you. As you. You walk up you. Plus you. You play burst. And it moves out from you in energy. And then you play the song and target the Naga. And your. Your eyes flick with light. But the problem is that the many voices whisper in all their language, you vapid wench. Vapid wench. And the Naga doesn't appear to know what a vapid wench is, so it just doesn't affect him. [00:49:55] Speaker A: That makes sense. [00:49:56] Speaker B: The bony head just tilts in confusion. And then as you stop, you turn and you look at and lord in lowers his eye, lowers his head with the burning points of red light. And you just go, I'm just gonna move. [00:50:11] Speaker A: Yeah. I just realized that I might have [00:50:13] Speaker B: just made more of an enemy out [00:50:15] Speaker A: of him by dealing the first Homer [00:50:17] Speaker B: Simpson yourself back a little bit. Excellent. It's the bone. Naga's turn. So it will. [00:50:26] Speaker D: I'm right here. [00:50:29] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:50:31] Speaker A: I was trying to help you, Daniel, with that. [00:50:33] Speaker B: It has two of those. [00:50:35] Speaker A: Security. [00:50:37] Speaker B: I didn't realize it had two. It'll do it again. Yeah, it'll do it again. It is going to. It turns towards you row. It raises up its head, and like, the bones around its neck extend in a hood like a cobra opening. And then it. And it's going to fire another lightning bolt at you. I need a dexterity saving throw just from row to add a D4 onto. Yeah, just at row. [00:51:13] Speaker A: Wait, do I also get to add three? No. I'm not within 15ft of Craig anymore. [00:51:16] Speaker B: You're not within 10ft of 10ft or with 10ft. [00:51:20] Speaker A: I'm not within 10ft. [00:51:23] Speaker B: Okay, well, it's having to pick its targets, and. It's not. [00:51:31] Speaker A: It's not looking good. [00:51:32] Speaker B: Craig's being blocked by the guy with the shield. [00:51:38] Speaker A: That's. [00:51:39] Speaker D: I. [00:51:42] Speaker A: That's. [00:51:43] Speaker D: I'm gonna reaction. I'm so sorry. I'm gonna reaction. Help my boy over there. [00:51:49] Speaker B: Your boyo being [00:51:52] Speaker D: broken? Yeah. Yeah. [00:51:55] Speaker B: Okay. [00:51:57] Speaker A: I got an 11. [00:52:00] Speaker B: That's gonna fail. [00:52:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Wait, negative 15 before the bone guy. Did we change it or does it. [00:52:09] Speaker B: No, Craig's ahead of the Minotaur. Well, I rolled a little better on damage this time. I got 22. So the Lightning bolt flies out towards you. Those spirits rise up and intercept and pull away some of the energy. So you only take seven points of lightning damage, bro, which is really good. And I'm starting to think everybody talks about Frenzy Barbarian, and everybody talks about Lord of Storms Barbarian. I think maybe Ancestral Guardians, one of the best subclasses. I think maybe it's, like, massively slept on. Like, it's really good. But anyhow, I mean, I know Remnant accentuates it a lot, but still. [00:52:46] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay. [00:52:48] Speaker B: That's the bone dog. [00:52:49] Speaker A: Still not to my normal hit points, if that's helpful because of all the temporary hit points we have. [00:52:55] Speaker B: Oh, that's very. Yeah, A good day for temporary hit points. Yeah. It's Craig's turn. [00:53:03] Speaker D: Oh, Craig. Craig's gonna get right next to me. Because I don't think slinky thinking is gonna Matt. I just don't want to get him closer to the big bad guy again. [00:53:18] Speaker B: So. [00:53:20] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm gonna have. [00:53:21] Speaker B: Give me a strategy. Give me a strategy check from Craig. [00:53:27] Speaker D: I got a nine on the die, and now I have to go find it. [00:53:32] Speaker A: Intelligence. [00:53:36] Speaker D: I imagine it's not gonna be good enough. A strategy. I just Gonna add his intelligence. [00:53:50] Speaker B: Just his intelligence modifier. [00:53:52] Speaker D: What I say 10. We got a 10. [00:53:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, never mind. Just keep going. [00:53:59] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. All right, we're gonna do one hit, one attack on the big boyo. [00:54:04] Speaker B: I gotta do it. [00:54:04] Speaker D: Plus 11 to hit here. Oh, 24. [00:54:09] Speaker B: Yeah, that'll do it. Okay. [00:54:11] Speaker D: And then my other one is also [00:54:12] Speaker B: remember this is undead. So you do get your extra damage. [00:54:16] Speaker D: Yes, yes, yes. I have three. Gotten my dice out. 27 on my second hit. And I am roll. [00:54:24] Speaker B: I am gonna roll your roll Your first one for me. Just the first one. Let's start with them. [00:54:29] Speaker D: Okay. Just the first. First one without anything. [00:54:30] Speaker B: The bone Naga looks really cracked. It's heavily damaged. [00:54:34] Speaker D: Okay, 10, 12. 12 plus. And I'm gonna use one of my attacks to add extra damage. So 12 +9 is 21 points of damage. [00:54:51] Speaker B: How do you want to do it, [00:54:54] Speaker D: Craig? Come. I feel like Craig's like as I put my shield down and I think we're just like tag teaming shields right now. So I'm gonna like. [00:55:03] Speaker B: That's so the shield on my back [00:55:05] Speaker D: where like he like slides over it like a car just because it's cool. [00:55:09] Speaker B: Dude, that's sick. [00:55:11] Speaker D: Like sliding with the iridescence and just like getting his sword ready and sharper across the shield as he goes in. And he just. [00:55:18] Speaker B: Oh, heck yeah. Not. [00:55:20] Speaker D: It's not even at the. [00:55:21] Speaker B: The blade actually touched it. [00:55:23] Speaker D: It's that the blade cut through the air so sharply that it then destroyed and cut in half the Naga. [00:55:29] Speaker B: Yeah. And like the radiant energy is ripping the Naga apart. And as the blade scrapes across your shield, Vangrim, there are sparks, but not from the blade breaking your shield. From the magic of Star Splinter scraping against the magic of your shield. And the objurative power of your shield and the evocative power of Star Splinter are like pushing against each other. So there's all these blue flares like magic before it. And then Naga just scatters into pieces that fly away. [00:56:01] Speaker D: Hell yeah. Does Craig have enough movement to get over to the Minotaur? [00:56:06] Speaker B: Okay, he went 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. He has 25 movement total, right? [00:56:12] Speaker D: Oh, I've got my shoes on my wings because I did that when we were. [00:56:18] Speaker B: And as the. As the Godspeed wings fly outward, he is going to move all the way to the back of the Minotaur. Now, as a quick note, Daniel, at the end of the session, remind me to remind you about time for Godspeed, because the wings have a time limit on them. [00:56:37] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:56:37] Speaker B: And we need to Keep track of how long he's had them out, but we can address that at the end. [00:56:42] Speaker D: All right, so then I will advantagely attack the other guy. You can. [00:56:47] Speaker B: You have. You are flanking. You have advantage. [00:56:48] Speaker D: Okay, I got a 24 again. I am gonna spend a first level smite into this one just so we can try to. [00:56:56] Speaker B: Gotcha. [00:56:57] Speaker D: Get as few of these guys. Yeah. [00:57:00] Speaker B: Also he is now within 15ft of boss. So he has fire damage again. He has three. 3D four again. [00:57:07] Speaker D: 3D four. Okay, I'm gonna roll. He's gonna deal 48 points of damage. [00:57:31] Speaker B: How do you want to do this? [00:57:33] Speaker D: Oh yeah. Flying over on his. She's going to. [00:57:38] Speaker B: It's funny how on the way in here I was like, how do you want to do this? How do you do this? On Skeletons, you guys are like, eh, it doesn't matter. And now that we're in the boss fighting 87 damage, you guys are like, oh, suck it. [00:57:46] Speaker D: Yeah, I think he's coming over. And just while in mid flight, just cuts off the skeleton's head as he. [00:57:56] Speaker B: Dick. [00:57:57] Speaker D: He lands for just a second, but how much more movement do I have? [00:58:02] Speaker B: Yes. Let's track it. You have 70 fly with gone speed. So you went 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 to here. [00:58:12] Speaker D: And I get the rest of my movement towards the lich. Yeah. [00:58:18] Speaker B: 50, 55, 60, 65, 70. You're up against the Lich. [00:58:22] Speaker D: Holy cow. Okay. I did not think he was gonna get there that fast. [00:58:27] Speaker B: So to describe this turn, Craig runs up the wings propel him up a little bit. And he does this sliding roll across. [00:58:34] Speaker D: Wrong. [00:58:35] Speaker B: Grim Shield skates the blade across and then slices the noggin to oblivion. He lands heavily on the ground with his armor. He lifts the wings up and does one big and sends himself propelling, zooming across the floor. Feel across the stone like level. And as he flies across, he lifts his blade and does one. And with a flash of light and a pop of gold blue light, the. The minotaur is just. And it's cool because he cuts the neck, but it's like he's severing the power. And as he does, all the bones from the bottom of the body like fall. But they don't fall straight down. They fall away from the strike as if pushed away by the energy. And the head goes flying away. And it catches in the lightning on the side of the tower and. And disintegrates. Then Craig plants a heel, turns around with his arm that has the shield on it. He Reaches out and points at the lich. And just in honor of Micah saying something Micah ish, he says, oh, what's something Micah would say? [00:59:37] Speaker D: You don't fear me. [00:59:40] Speaker B: Yeah, something. Something like that. Or try that again or something. And then. And then a big for the wings. And Craig just lands in front of it, raising the shield and the blade. And I'm not saying. I'm not saying that other people haven't had cool paladins. Do we have the coolest paladin? Probably, but no offense. No offense. Vax and Ford, you were cool, but this is the cool. All right. That turn couldn't have been better. Two kills and on the boss. Now we go to the minotaur skeleton. Except we don't, because he's dead. [01:00:18] Speaker C: Nice. [01:00:20] Speaker B: Back to the top initiative. In one round of combat, we only have one enemy remaining on the field. Somebody bad one, somebody wrong. [01:00:29] Speaker A: What if I don't want to? I'll do it. I gotta. [01:00:34] Speaker B: What if I do? What if I don't want to? I'll do it. Okay, now, importantly, importantly, Lord of the Tower dissipates as the energy lowers and flares less. So it only lasts a round. He no longer has Lord of the Tower. Now with a two. You roll deathly still. [01:00:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:01] Speaker B: No, [01:01:03] Speaker A: no. [01:01:04] Speaker B: What if it's really fine? What if it's. What if it's like struggle? Words of affirmation. What if. What if he gives each of you all a very warm and heartfelt hug and tells you back? [01:01:15] Speaker A: The snuggle mimics. Zach, let's go back to the snuggle mimic. [01:01:19] Speaker B: I can't believe you killed him. [01:01:21] Speaker C: Snuggle next Lord. [01:01:26] Speaker B: He's CR21, but all he wants is a hug. The problem is, the reason he's a Lich lord is he goes, where's my hug? So, from all those glyphs on the floor, pulse with energy. And an invisible wave of draining energy seeps upward from the floor, grasping at any life force above it. All living creatures in the tower must make a constitution saving throw. Come on, come on. Hurry, bubby. So, to fill you in, Abby, all living creatures, everyone needs to make a constitution saving throw. [01:02:11] Speaker D: Oh, that's also good. [01:02:14] Speaker C: We have a plus three to all saving throw. But not because I'm. [01:02:17] Speaker D: Nope. [01:02:18] Speaker B: If you're near, Craig. And now nobody's near. [01:02:23] Speaker A: She just rerouted our guy. [01:02:25] Speaker C: I just say words. Oh, good. [01:02:30] Speaker B: Okay. [01:02:31] Speaker A: Oh, gosh. [01:02:32] Speaker D: Greg got a 24. [01:02:37] Speaker C: I got a 19. Tello got a 14. Yikes. Oh, no. Jackson. [01:02:47] Speaker B: Rob was asking me a question about Things in English. Could you repeat those? I'm sorry, [01:02:54] Speaker A: all of us? [01:02:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I was prioritizing my wife, Jackie. [01:03:00] Speaker D: You got it. [01:03:01] Speaker A: Oh, that's perfectly fine. I was just confused. [01:03:03] Speaker B: No, I know. I'm kidding. What was everyone's roles again? [01:03:09] Speaker C: I got a 19. Tello got a 14. [01:03:12] Speaker B: Okay. [01:03:18] Speaker D: Craig got a 24. Ron Grimm got a 26. [01:03:24] Speaker B: Okay. Just got a one up. That's fine. Very insecure of you. [01:03:28] Speaker D: Okay. [01:03:31] Speaker B: Pause, grow. [01:03:33] Speaker A: Got a 12. Boss got a 13. Both of us have low con. Both got zeros to our con, but I even added a D4 to mine, so. [01:03:42] Speaker D: Rust, buddy. [01:03:43] Speaker B: Also, this is just fun. As a Note, Craig's last three rolls have been 24. 24. 24. Which is really fast. [01:03:50] Speaker D: Oh, dang. [01:03:50] Speaker B: Wow. So is the draining energy seeps upward and moves around you all. It's not simply that the life force is being pulled from you, though it is. It's that you all feel the despair of this fight. You all feel the thought that you might not even make it to Shista and Craig. And wrong. Grim and Greta save Tello, pause and row fail. So you all for the next combat round are affected by the effects of the slow spell. [01:04:36] Speaker D: Oh, great. [01:04:41] Speaker A: Are we. [01:04:43] Speaker B: Let's talk about that. [01:04:44] Speaker A: Yeah, let's talk about it. [01:04:48] Speaker B: So. Each of these three characters tell Boz and Row for the next round have a minus two to their AC and dexterity save. [01:05:03] Speaker A: Do I need to make it save? [01:05:06] Speaker B: No, you didn't take any damage. You didn't take any damage. So there's no concentration check. So minus two to acknowledge, minus two to dexterity saving throws. Is there music playing somewhere? I'm hearing things in the background. [01:05:21] Speaker A: It sounds like it. [01:05:23] Speaker D: Possibly. Anna? [01:05:24] Speaker B: No, it's all good. On your turn, this creature can either use an action or a bonus action, not both. What? Yep. [01:05:37] Speaker C: Okay. [01:05:38] Speaker B: Regardless of the creature's abilities or magic items, it cannot take more than one attack for. For its turn. [01:05:46] Speaker D: If. [01:05:47] Speaker B: If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting action of one action, roll the D20. On an 11 or higher, the spell doesn't. Is not effective. And the creature. Excuse me. On 11 or higher, the spell doesn't take effect until the creature's next turn. And the creature must use its action on that turn to complete the spell. If it can't, the spell is wasted. So for the next round, -2 to AC, -2 to deck, saves only one attack per turn, either an action or a bonus action. And if you try to cast a spell that's an action you have to roll a D20 on an 11 or higher. The spell works on a 10 or lower. It doesn't. And if you get the roll, it happens next turn instead of this one. Cuz you spend your whole turn going. [01:06:39] Speaker D: Like that. Wow. [01:06:43] Speaker B: So that's. [01:06:43] Speaker A: How long does this last? [01:06:45] Speaker B: One round. One round. [01:06:46] Speaker A: Okay. [01:06:49] Speaker B: And if you need another rundown on all the things I just said, I got you. Because I know that was a lot. I'm keeping the page over. All right, now we go to lordine's turn. [01:07:03] Speaker A: How about reactions? How do reactions work if you have [01:07:06] Speaker B: a slow reactions are unaffected. Okay. [01:07:09] Speaker A: I mean, cool. [01:07:32] Speaker B: This is a gamble. But he's seen him be heavily damaged. Yeah, it's gambling time. What am I holding on to resources for? [01:07:41] Speaker D: It's gambling time. [01:07:44] Speaker B: It's gambling time. Oh, Daniel, it's so much fun playing with your friends. All right, guys, again, I really can't think of a use of my Fridays that could ever be more fun than this. All right, He's going to go for it. He doesn't know which. You don't know. That's the nature of it. The lich turns. Lord e floats in the air and rotates. And as Craig stands there raising up his blade with power on it, he raises his hand over Craig's head. His eyes flare and he simply says, you are a failure. And there's this flash of red light. How many hit points Does Craig have? [01:08:28] Speaker D: 107. [01:08:32] Speaker B: Having less than 150 hit points, Craig is affected by power word stun. As such. [01:08:45] Speaker D: Stir. [01:08:49] Speaker B: As such, the stun target must make a constitution sa at the end of each turn. Otherwise it is completely stunned. So Craig just falls. He just like he like his sword clatters to his feet. He falls to his knees. And he just stands there, mouth agape, drooling, Just completely lost. And Craig is stunned. Then not in danger of any opportunity attacks. Lord ynt is going to float backward. 10. [01:09:34] Speaker D: No, [01:09:37] Speaker B: I'm gonna be a little turd. Nord eent is going to float. 5. 10. And then as the wall of energy flares up around him, he's just gonna pass backward through it. Oh, pass him right by the energy of his tower. Is that how that works? Hold on, let's. Oh, well, okay. No, he's gonna do it, but he actually has to make a check to use his magic correctly. [01:10:09] Speaker D: Good. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Everybody cross your toes and hope he rolls a one. I am. He can fail. It's possible. [01:10:16] Speaker C: I crossed him. I crossed him. [01:10:17] Speaker B: He didn't. He didn't. [01:10:19] Speaker C: I didn't cross him hard. [01:10:21] Speaker B: He got a 29. So he floats back through the net of electricity. Electricity. And he just floats there in the air. And there are no lips on this figure, but the. The jaw tightens together, and you swear you can see a sadistic smile right as he raised his hands. That's Lordine's turn. Now it's Teller. [01:10:50] Speaker A: It's me, Tello, and Boz that are slowed right now, right? [01:10:54] Speaker B: Yes. [01:10:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:10:55] Speaker B: Yes. [01:10:58] Speaker C: Okay. Tello is going to. [01:11:06] Speaker A: That's also our movements halved, too. Good to know. [01:11:11] Speaker C: Tello's going to step forward. We'll say five, 15ft and one movement. Oh, never mind. Well, then, can he go diagonally west? [01:11:29] Speaker B: Is that this way for you? Yes. [01:11:31] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:11:32] Speaker B: Okay. He does that. [01:11:34] Speaker C: Now, I would like to shoot with the crossbow, because that's an action. [01:11:40] Speaker B: Do it. You have the one attack. [01:11:46] Speaker C: Okay. Blah, blah, blah, blah. [01:11:48] Speaker B: You're a champion and a winner. Would you mind muting in between comments? Just because I'm also picking up the fan. [01:11:55] Speaker D: Oh, gosh. [01:11:58] Speaker B: Thank you. [01:11:59] Speaker C: Is it 26 hit a 26. [01:12:04] Speaker B: If I said no, we'd be in bad waters. [01:12:07] Speaker C: Okay, maybe eight. That is going to be a. A9. [01:12:18] Speaker B: Nine points of damage. [01:12:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:12:24] Speaker B: Okay. Damage is damage. [01:12:28] Speaker D: Did that weapon go through the energy field without problem? [01:12:32] Speaker B: It did. Telo steps forward, and he raised up [01:12:36] Speaker A: his 15ft of boss. [01:12:39] Speaker B: And it's. He is within 5, 10, 35ft of boss. [01:12:46] Speaker A: Yeah, never mind. [01:12:47] Speaker B: He does fire a bomb. And the bolt, as it flies through the air, it passes through the field, and you watch as the energy, like, connects with it, but it doesn't seem to burn it up. It seems like the field interacts specifically with living tissue. Even though the bones are dead, they were once biomoleculated. Specify. But that's okay. But the bolt. The bolt flies into Lord Ink. And here's the really disconcerting part. It into him and seems like it hurt him, but feeling no pain, he just has no reaction. Okay. He looks like he's taking a little damage, except that he can't. [01:13:35] Speaker A: Why not? Bonus action. Blah. [01:13:40] Speaker B: Wrong can go. [01:13:42] Speaker C: He's gonna free action. [01:13:46] Speaker D: Can I go 35ft toward the Lich? [01:13:49] Speaker B: 10. 15. 20. 25. 30. [01:13:52] Speaker D: 35. [01:13:52] Speaker B: Yes, sir. [01:13:54] Speaker D: Beautiful. And that's within 30ft, right? [01:13:57] Speaker B: He's within 30ft. 15ft. [01:14:00] Speaker D: Ah. Can you put me back one square then? [01:14:04] Speaker B: Yes. [01:14:05] Speaker D: All right, cool. I'm gonna throw remnant at him recklessly. Okay, I got a 30, [01:14:22] Speaker B: Daniel. That will do it. [01:14:24] Speaker D: Good, good. With my bonus action, I'm going to yank him towards me. [01:14:31] Speaker B: I forgot you could do that. Now hold on, hold on, hold on. I bet you're right. [01:14:35] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:14:36] Speaker B: Can you remind me? I know you can pull yourself to enemies. You can also pull enemies to you. [01:14:40] Speaker D: Yeah, if they're. If they're me. If they're my same size category. [01:14:45] Speaker B: Nice. [01:14:46] Speaker D: I can play. [01:14:48] Speaker B: Awesome. Is there an opposed check or you just pull them? [01:14:52] Speaker D: I think it's just. [01:14:53] Speaker B: I imagine it'll say in the language, I just want to check. [01:14:55] Speaker D: Yes. [01:14:56] Speaker B: Also, I can't imagine he beats you, [01:14:57] Speaker D: but I mean, he can sure try if you want. [01:15:01] Speaker B: Certainly try. [01:15:04] Speaker C: He can certainly try. [01:15:07] Speaker D: Oh. Oh, come on. Word. You can do it. Okay. [01:15:10] Speaker B: I think you're right. [01:15:13] Speaker D: Let me see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. No, that doesn't. [01:15:23] Speaker B: Daniel's reading that document at light speed. If I don't specify, then there's probably not a check attached to it. Daniel's reading like an almost three page document about his magic item. It's huge. [01:15:42] Speaker D: It does not specify. [01:15:45] Speaker B: And so Rangrim, you go charging up toward the field of energy and he's just floating there. And you can see that the, the paper like remnant. The, like, like, like, like parchment, like remnant of skin across his face cracks into a smile as some of it. You can literally hear it pulling apart. And he bears his teeth with satisfaction. And then as you raise up the trident, he just kind of cocks his head like. But then as you stick it into him, he doesn't look too impressed. And then you yank on the chain and you watch him. It's full looney tunes. Like his arms go behind him and you pull him forward by his torso and he goes back into the energy field, which around him, you've pulled him back inside. [01:16:30] Speaker D: No, no, no. [01:16:31] Speaker B: You don't go anywhere. No, we already passed through. [01:16:36] Speaker C: Wait. [01:16:36] Speaker D: And then I will also recklessly attack him a second time just so I can do all dice at the same time. I got a 26 for my second. [01:16:46] Speaker B: That'll do it. [01:16:48] Speaker D: Do I need to differentiate fire damage here? [01:16:51] Speaker B: Let's check. I don't remember. So let me see. I do need you to differentiate. Differentiate fire damage. [01:17:00] Speaker D: Okay. Okay, so this is. Jerk. Okay, I'm gonna give you my non fire damage first. Okay. [01:17:20] Speaker B: Daniel, is the. It's morbin time yours? [01:17:23] Speaker D: Yeah, society plus I have 33 non fire damage. And then I will. [01:17:36] Speaker B: Okay, [01:17:54] Speaker D: I have 47 fire damage. [01:17:56] Speaker B: Okay, 23. [01:18:01] Speaker D: 23 if he's resistant to the fire. Wrong. [01:18:08] Speaker B: Grim, as you pull him close and with the. With Triton stabbing into him with all your force in their burst of fire, an attack that should Disembowel and destroy any medium creature. He is still very much alive, though he does look cracked. And as you cut into him, you can see the red energy bleeding out of him into the base of the tower. Everywhere. He looks down at you just with a grim, placid determination. He doesn't seem to have too much concern for his life and. And not in the zealous mania of the Kuo Toa you fought, but simply as one fully puppeted by the master above him. [01:18:51] Speaker D: Nice. [01:18:52] Speaker B: And aukidaoki also, as you pull him in and stab him. Rangrim from nearby, all of you all hear a. And you all look like three or four towers over. One of the top of the towers just goes and erupts with energy and one of the pillars. Topples. And then you watch the whole tower. Crumble to the ground. We know walking by streams of energy breaks off. [01:19:36] Speaker D: Nope. [01:19:36] Speaker B: You're not sure which of the teams that was. But something both went really well and real bad. At one of the towers, you watch as the red stream of energy feeding toward Blackfang shuts off. Okay, that was wrong's turn. Gre, it's you. Boss is on deck. [01:19:59] Speaker C: What is the ringtone thing? [01:20:01] Speaker A: It wasn't. It wasn't the same tower that had the explosion earlier, was it? [01:20:06] Speaker B: No, different. One different tower. Okay, [01:20:10] Speaker C: okay. Greta is so cool. [01:20:15] Speaker A: That's dope. [01:20:18] Speaker C: Okay, Greta is going to. Is it an action to get on my broom? Let me look in my desk for things. [01:20:29] Speaker B: I'm going to go ahead and tell you. No, I don't. That doesn't add up to me. I'm going to say that you can get on your. I'm going to say that you can get on your broom with five feet of movement. [01:20:40] Speaker C: Oh, okay. That. I like that. [01:20:43] Speaker B: I imagine you do. [01:20:46] Speaker C: Then I'm going to use 5ft of my movement to get on my broom and I'm going to. [01:20:54] Speaker B: Which is also. It's a hilarious visual because Greta just opens up one of the pockets on her cloak, reaches her hands in and fully. Mary Poppins just pulls out this broom and then gets on it. [01:21:08] Speaker C: So five movements. I would like to use the rest of my movement to approach the lich. Lord. I would like to get within 60ft and no closer. [01:21:18] Speaker B: You are one of the slowed people. [01:21:19] Speaker D: Right. [01:21:21] Speaker C: I have 40ft of movement on my room. [01:21:23] Speaker A: It's me, Tello. No, I'm not slow. [01:21:26] Speaker B: Excellent. Thank you. So you use five. So now you have 35 left. Where's 60ft? That is 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. 30, 35, 40, 45, 50. You are currently within 60ft of him. [01:21:40] Speaker C: Right. Well, then I won't move. But I am on my broom. [01:21:43] Speaker B: Do you want to move one to the to your east just so that you're not in line with wrong grim on any spells? [01:21:51] Speaker C: Yeah, that works [01:21:54] Speaker B: phenomenal. So it's a hilarious visual. It's straight up like. Like Three Stooges gag as. As Greta pulls the broom out of her pocket, gets on and then flies five feet forward. She just stops. [01:22:09] Speaker C: Okay, I would like to path I'm gonna do. I'm gonna Sacred Flame the bad guy. [01:22:20] Speaker D: Okay, [01:22:23] Speaker C: well, okay, just before I do that, actually, I can cast a leveled spell and I can use my actual level and the same as long as a spell. [01:22:35] Speaker B: Yep. As long as one of those two spells is a bonus action. [01:22:39] Speaker C: Cool, cool, cool. I'm gonna bonus action. No, I'm gonna action. Sacred Flame. [01:22:45] Speaker B: I need a dex save. Correct. Jeez, I'm rolling terrible with this die. That fails for sure. I got a nine. [01:22:56] Speaker C: Cool. Yeah. Okay, Let me roll that super quick. And then Craig is hurting pretty. [01:23:06] Speaker D: I mean, yeah, he's probably at like two thirds hit points. He's missing 69 points [01:23:17] Speaker B: also. Daniel, leave your mic down for a second. Now I don't hear the fan anymore. When you were talking just then, I wasn't hearing it. [01:23:26] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:23:29] Speaker B: There are no rules in this place, Daniel. There are no rules in this place. Now it's fine. Oh, also, as Abby's doing math and calculating Rongrim, as you're right next to Ynt, you can see now something you didn't see at a distance. On his neck is a heavy pendant on a chain. And it is a small skull. A small humanoid skull, either coming from a very young person or from a very small humanoid. And it is played on. It played it in silver on a gold chain with a. A ruby set in each eye. [01:24:02] Speaker C: That's scary. [01:24:03] Speaker D: Okay, okay. [01:24:06] Speaker C: I'm going to do 20 damage to our friend. And then I'm just going to cast bonus action. Like a level one healing word for Craig. For a total of My mama burnt. A total of seven. No, seven. [01:24:27] Speaker B: Never mind. Daniel, the fan's back. How seven? Phenomenal. Seven. Excellent. Phenomenal. As you. As. As the green. The pale green light burns out. It catches him. And you watch as the divine light seems to like burn against the energy at him. It's like he catches his clothes. [01:24:50] Speaker C: It is radiant damage. I believe if that makes a difference. [01:24:53] Speaker D: Just. [01:24:54] Speaker B: He is not vulnerable. The Unceasing massacre was. But yeah, you're like soupy undead. But he raises up a hand and closes it and the fire just goes out on him. Oh my goodness. I'm so dumb. It's fine. One of the main abilities he has I have not been using this entire time. Maybe I'm just subconsciously on your side or something. I'm now going to use his legendary layer feature that I haven't used this entire time. God, that's. That's pissy pants. I guess it hasn't come up a ton. I'm going to use the effect arcane edifice. When Lord in is targeted by a damage spell within his tower, the tower siphons away some of the energy and transm. Transmutes it to service of Black Fang. So he can reduce damage from a spell by 5d6 every single time I forgotten to do it. This whole combat, I guess the majority of damage he has taken has not been spell damage. [01:26:04] Speaker D: It's been weapon from my trident. [01:26:08] Speaker B: Daniel said victoriously and like from my trident. But your TDM actually technically his trident damage different. So he's going to reduce that by 17 damage. So he only takes three damage instead. Cool. So as the. As the sacred flame burns across to him, you watch as the pillars of the tower flare with energy. And it's like. It's like the energy literally. It's like the fire literally grows smaller and smaller and smaller and it just barely burns against him. Yeah, I know. It's boss's turn. Rose on deck and there's not a bun. [01:26:50] Speaker A: Okay. Boss with his slow down ability is going. Am I 100? 120ft from Count Dracula. Okay. [01:27:01] Speaker B: 120ft from everything. [01:27:04] Speaker A: Okay, that's what I thought. I'm gonna move the call lightning to. I'm gonna. [01:27:13] Speaker B: You could stack it here at the edge of the tower. [01:27:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:27:15] Speaker B: And you can hit inked without hitting wrong room. [01:27:17] Speaker A: That's what I'm gonna do. [01:27:19] Speaker B: However, if you wanted to instead you could put it right here and you could hit ink into and wrong Grim and Craig if you want. [01:27:24] Speaker A: I mean I'm not feeling. And Craig would auto fail but I'm not feeling that. But let's put a pin in it. You know we'll come back. [01:27:33] Speaker B: Daniel, did you move into a new room or did I just not see. [01:27:37] Speaker D: No, Anna just went to bed. [01:27:40] Speaker B: Okay. I was curious anyway. [01:27:46] Speaker D: I did bring this chair up from my. I'm sure. I'm sure the people at home are loving this. [01:27:56] Speaker B: The people at home. Okay. What are you using? I wasn't paying attention. Call lightning I'm rolling horribly with this. Die. Holy cow. [01:28:11] Speaker A: Oh, good. [01:28:17] Speaker B: He got. He rolled terribly. [01:28:20] Speaker A: 6, but okay. When do I. [01:28:23] Speaker B: 10 damage. [01:28:24] Speaker A: 20 if this works or not. Remember, because of the slow thing. D20 roll for. [01:28:31] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Yeah. Roll it now. [01:28:33] Speaker A: I shouldn't have told you. I should have just. Never mind. [01:28:36] Speaker B: No, I respect how responsible you are, Jackie. The game's better when everyone's being honest about the. [01:28:41] Speaker A: Do I add anything to it? [01:28:44] Speaker B: Nope. [01:28:46] Speaker A: Are you sure? [01:28:48] Speaker D: Yep. [01:28:49] Speaker A: I rolled an A. [01:28:52] Speaker B: And so as Boz raises up his hands and begins to chant, he just can't quite get the words out fast enough. Spell doesn't connect, and he does not succeed in bringing another bolt down. His turn is wasted. [01:29:05] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. But he didn't waste the spell slot because it's still the same one. So that's cool. [01:29:12] Speaker B: And that's nice. Nice. [01:29:15] Speaker A: Okay, so I don't think he's gonna move since he's slowed down. I'm gonna keep him there. [01:29:20] Speaker B: Be a good idea to keep him there. Yeah. [01:29:22] Speaker A: Yeah. So it's now Rose turn right, [01:29:30] Speaker B: Slowly sliding out of frame. [01:29:34] Speaker A: So I can only do an action as well. Or bonus. [01:29:37] Speaker B: He's having such a good Friday night. Wearing a frog hoodie in a comfortable chair, playing D D [01:29:46] Speaker A: I'm gonna catch a happy camper. I'm gonna cast cut. Because if it fails, then I don't waste a spell slot. [01:29:53] Speaker B: Excellent. What's the range on cut? [01:29:55] Speaker A: 90ft. Am I with a 90? [01:29:57] Speaker B: Okay, you're very with a 90ft. So roll your damage. [01:30:00] Speaker A: It just. [01:30:01] Speaker B: Oh, wait, that's right. D20. [01:30:02] Speaker A: D21st. Okay. Come on, baby. [01:30:05] Speaker B: To even successfully get the cancer, baby. [01:30:09] Speaker A: I rolled at 15. [01:30:11] Speaker B: You succeed. So now you just roll damage. He just takes it. [01:30:13] Speaker A: Okay, so he's gonna take and 3D6. [01:30:17] Speaker B: He is. He's unarmed. So now the language accurate about advantage. So. So. [01:30:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:30:26] Speaker D: What? [01:30:26] Speaker B: So let's do this. Let's do this, Jacob. Let's do this. When I. When an enemy is unarmed, it deals an extra die of damage, let's say. And then I'll revisit it with more detail next time. So 4D6 right now. [01:30:38] Speaker A: Okay, that's good. [01:30:42] Speaker B: Can anybody see what I'm doing here? [01:30:45] Speaker D: It's gonna get canceled out by the [01:30:46] Speaker A: fact a lot of dice. [01:30:47] Speaker B: Anybody? Can anybody see how I'm quietly ruining Jack Jackie's day without her noticing? [01:30:52] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:30:54] Speaker A: Well, I mean, I rolled 19 points of damage. [01:30:59] Speaker B: That was way. Okay, you rolled 46. And I rolled five D6. And you rolled way more than me. Jackie said as a Video game character. I rolled 13, so you rolled 19. So he still takes six. Still takes six. [01:31:16] Speaker A: I'll take it. [01:31:17] Speaker B: Hey. Against this guy, more than any other damage is damaged. [01:31:20] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:31:21] Speaker A: And then I'm gonna stay where I'm at too, since I'm slow. [01:31:26] Speaker B: That's a good idea. That's what I do. This. All right, it's Craig's turn. I need Craig to make a constitution saving throw. [01:31:34] Speaker D: That's at the end of his turn. Right. [01:31:35] Speaker B: So is the only thing you can do a 12. Craig continues to be completely stunned. You know, maybe it's for the better. Micah got sick and couldn't be here. She'd be having a really frustrating session. [01:31:53] Speaker C: She just had that really awesome thing, so. [01:31:56] Speaker B: Well, that's true, actually. Yeah. That was one of the coolest turns Craig's ever taken. Potato, potato. I'm never gonna forget. I think it's gonna be a couple. A core memory for me. The last time we had a combat and a creature took a legendary action before Micah's turn, and she went, so now my whole turn's wasted and I don't get to go. And then everyone at once was like, no. And she was like, oh, to be fair, somebody roll me. [01:32:26] Speaker A: To be fair, Craig has never taken as much damage as she did in that fight. So I understand Micah's confusion with what happens when you take that much damage and something happens to you. [01:32:37] Speaker B: That was a poundingly cruel fight. Go ahead and roll a D4 for me. Whoever wants to. [01:32:45] Speaker D: Come on, Abby. [01:32:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Daniel did it. Now you. [01:32:55] Speaker B: There's some interesting ones we haven't gotten yet. [01:32:57] Speaker C: I'm over here rethinking my dice. I gotta watch your life. I dice organization. What 1. Don't make that face. [01:33:10] Speaker A: What's your face? I don't like the face. The face is bad. Get rid of the face. [01:33:16] Speaker B: Ones are always bad. Oh. So here's the thing. One's not bad. It's specific. Specific. [01:33:26] Speaker C: Oh, [01:33:28] Speaker B: this is either. Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I did a really good job making this combat. And this is the sort of layer action where it's either not a big deal at all or not good. So allow me to read it to you. If you roll a one, you get anti life repulsion. At the start of each combat round on Initiative 20, a dull pulse of red energy emanates from Lord Ian's physical position, forcing all living creatures to make a strength constitution. Saving. Throw on a failure. Hold on a cre. Hold on, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. On a failure. A creature is pushed 10ft directly away from Lord E and is knocked prone. On a failure of 10 or less, a creature is pushed an additional additional 5ft and is knocked prone. That's it. So for wrong and Craig and Ro and Tello and Boss, it's not a very big deal. Greta's right next to the edge. [01:34:32] Speaker C: Wait, wait. Damn. [01:34:33] Speaker D: I don't know. [01:34:35] Speaker B: You are. [01:34:36] Speaker C: Oh, but I think. [01:34:38] Speaker A: Oh, but if she goes through the lightning. [01:34:43] Speaker B: So from Lourdine's position, there's just this. The tower flares, all the sigils on the ground light up, and there's just this wave of energy. I need everyone to make a strength saving throw for me. Craig automatically fails and he goes 5, 10, 15. And now he's also prone. [01:35:06] Speaker C: Strength saving throw. [01:35:08] Speaker A: That's not good for me or boss. [01:35:11] Speaker D: I got a 26. [01:35:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh. [01:35:21] Speaker C: Oh, no, wrong. [01:35:24] Speaker B: You've rolled two 26s in a row. [01:35:31] Speaker A: Row also got a 10. And Boz got a three. [01:35:35] Speaker D: Three. [01:35:35] Speaker C: Oh. Oh, I need to roll for. [01:35:42] Speaker A: Do I need to roll for this or no? [01:35:46] Speaker B: Yes, you need to roll for Tello. You're fine. [01:35:51] Speaker A: Row for con. Saves for boss and row. Cuz we're concentrating, both of us. [01:35:56] Speaker B: You're not taking any damage. [01:35:57] Speaker A: Oh, that's right, that's right, that's right. I forgot again. [01:36:02] Speaker B: Greta, you said you rolled a 10. [01:36:04] Speaker C: I did roll a 10. [01:36:06] Speaker D: Okay. Hello. [01:36:12] Speaker C: Got a. Hello. [01:36:15] Speaker B: Got a 14. [01:36:17] Speaker A: I actually rolled an 11. [01:36:19] Speaker C: I'm sorry. [01:36:20] Speaker B: Okay. [01:36:22] Speaker A: I don't know if that matters. [01:36:24] Speaker B: It's fine. So Tello is knocked back to here and prone. Ro is knocked back to here and prone. Boss doesn't go anywhere. He just gets pushed back up against the pillar. Wrong. Then the power just moves by him. Push your trident in the ground, you don't move. But Greta, Greta goes 5, 10, 15. She's pushed to the edge of the map. [01:36:47] Speaker C: Okay. [01:36:48] Speaker B: And as she moves backwards, she. She is pushed backward through the field of energy. As she moves through, all the energy moves toward her. Greta, you can try to overcome the field. [01:37:06] Speaker C: You can. [01:37:07] Speaker B: You're going. You can. You can try to manipulate the mat as an incredibly powerful spellcaster in the exact same way ynt did. You can try and manipulate the magic away from you. This is part of the mechanics. So I need you to make a check with your spell casting ability. So you need. I need a wisdom check from you. [01:37:28] Speaker C: Is this a wisdom saving throw or wisdom check? [01:37:31] Speaker B: Wisdom check in gets to do it a little differently because it's his tower. But for everybody else, if you're a spellcaster you have to make a check with your spellcasting ability. [01:37:44] Speaker C: That is a 17. [01:37:47] Speaker B: Okay. That's not gonna make it. However, you still get to make a saving throw. So if you. If you succeed at that, you get to do what he did and you get to just move it. It doesn't get you at all. Right. If you're not a spellcaster, you don't get that opportunity at all. Now you get. You have to do what everyone else has to do. Now, I need a dexterity saving throw, which you have advantage on, on your brain or no proficiency on your brain broom. So while you're writing your broom, you have proficiency in deck saving throw. You're trying to be DC19. [01:38:16] Speaker C: Okay. I've already used my per DM. [01:38:19] Speaker B: Thank you for your honesty. [01:38:20] Speaker C: I think I have dexterity, I have proficiency. So plus seven, and I need to beat a 19. [01:38:30] Speaker B: You need a 12 or higher. Yeah, [01:38:35] Speaker C: that's a 17. So 24. [01:38:41] Speaker B: That was a good time for that. Greta, you're gonna take half damage. Yes, he is. Oh, well, now I roll my damage five plus. Jeez, there's 45 points of lightning damage there. But because you succeeded, you take half, so you're going to take 22 points of lightning damage as you cross the threshold being zapped by it. You are, however, now on the outside. Yes, 22. Now you're on the outside of the energy field around the tower. [01:39:23] Speaker C: And so, just so I'm understanding, I would have to pass back through it again [01:39:29] Speaker B: if you want to get back [01:39:30] Speaker C: in, and I would. I would suffer all the same consequences, or I would have to redo all of those checks. Okay? [01:39:37] Speaker B: Now, as a note, you do not then fall five stories into a horde of undead enemies. You're on a flying broom. So you're one of the only two main members of the party who's completely fine right now. [01:39:53] Speaker A: So good you were on the broom, Abby. [01:39:56] Speaker B: Such a smart move, Abby. When I say pulling out that broom just saved your butt. If you hadn't, you would have fallen 50ft to the ground. [01:40:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:40:05] Speaker B: Into a horde of undead. So glad we didn't just tape a butter knife to the broom and use it as somebody's bonus action. This is a better use. Okay. [01:40:18] Speaker C: Yeah. Wow. [01:40:19] Speaker B: Wow. Amazing. Man, that me score fight was worth it for this item alone. Yeah, I was a nervous tear. Okay, okay, okay. We're fine. We're fine, we're fine. [01:40:26] Speaker A: Fine. [01:40:27] Speaker B: Oh, it's Lordine's turn. [01:40:30] Speaker C: No. [01:40:30] Speaker A: Bad boo. [01:40:34] Speaker D: Let me add him. [01:40:35] Speaker C: Who's on deck? Is it Tello Yes. [01:40:38] Speaker B: Sorry, sorry, sorry. Tello's on deck. Ron creams up every after that. Then Greta, then boss them wrong. Okay. [01:40:46] Speaker D: Okay. [01:40:47] Speaker B: What is he gonna do? What is he gonna do? He understands his directive and mission. Oh, and he's really, really smart, guys. I like playing big, dumb enemies. I don't like when I get to play your smart. Feels bad. Yeah. [01:41:09] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:41:09] Speaker B: He's gonna make this. He's gonna do something bad, Jackie. Okay, Both of these are very good moves for him. He'll do either. Okay, Jackie, roll me a D20. Oh, no, Daniel, roll me a D20. [01:41:33] Speaker D: Me? [01:41:36] Speaker A: Don't add anything to it. [01:41:38] Speaker B: Nope. [01:41:39] Speaker D: Got a nine. [01:41:40] Speaker B: I got a. [01:41:41] Speaker A: And I got a 19. [01:41:45] Speaker B: Okay, you wanted to be the person with the lower role. Cool. So cool. It behooves him both to target Roe and Craig. So both are good targets right now. So he'll target Roe and he is going to cast. He sees where this is going. He's very intelligent. He also has one purpose, and that's to serve his master. [01:42:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:42:23] Speaker B: So in the interest of the Queen of the Damned, his goal is simply to thin the ranks. He's going to target Ro with a ninth level disintegrator. Oh, I need dexterity saving. [01:42:41] Speaker D: Is she within 30ft of me or no? I don't think she is. I'm just. [01:42:49] Speaker B: She is not. Wait, let me count, Let me count. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. She is just within 30ft of you. [01:43:02] Speaker D: All right, I'm going to reaction, help her with some damage. [01:43:06] Speaker B: And you know something? You know something. Here's what's crazy. So in my notes, if you fail the saving throw from anti life repulsion by 10 or less, you get pushed 15 instead of 10 because Jackie decided to use her per diem and increase it from. From, like, from 10 to 11. She got pushed 10ft instead of 15ft, which left her just inside of Run Grim's reaction range to be healed by the spirits. If she hadn't done that, she'd be outside of the range. [01:43:37] Speaker C: That's awesome. [01:43:38] Speaker A: No, I. No, I forgot the saving throws. [01:43:42] Speaker B: Oh. But whatever it is, point B, I [01:43:44] Speaker A: just used it now, and it's a deck saving throw. [01:43:48] Speaker B: Right. [01:43:49] Speaker A: I actually got a 26 because I rolled a 17 plus 6 on the saving throw. And then plus my D4, I rolled a. [01:43:59] Speaker B: You have a plus 6 to deck saves. [01:44:02] Speaker A: Yeah, decks and charisma are my proficiency saving throws. [01:44:09] Speaker B: As the ninth level beam flies towards [01:44:11] Speaker D: you, [01:44:13] Speaker B: what does it look like as you completely dodge out of the way, disintegrates a Savior suck. [01:44:19] Speaker C: Wow. Wow. Wow, Jackie. That's so good. [01:44:23] Speaker A: Ro. I would like to say that Ro has. Because she's really knowledgeable in Arcana and she has seen this spell one other. Like she's seen it several times. But you've seen it one other time directed at her. And it was. [01:44:36] Speaker B: It's burned into your memory. [01:44:38] Speaker A: Yeah. And it was not good. So with this roll of 26, she like stumbles back a little and just like. Like ducks and misses it. [01:44:49] Speaker C: Wow. [01:44:51] Speaker B: And Ro, as you see the beam generate towards you, you see it coming. You. You turn your heels, you bend your knees. And as you go to jump backward, you find it's the sort of movement you'd never be quick enough. If it hadn't been for months and months and months of training in the mornings with Bilfrey and Plough and Craig. And from beyond the grave, the Occalls aid you one more time as the beam when. As it flies by for like an instant of time. [01:45:24] Speaker D: Time. [01:45:24] Speaker B: You watch as it goes through part of your hair and just turns it to dust, killing the flowers and turning the hair into nothing. As you stumble backward on your feet with his finger protruded, you see Lord in like the skin cracks and grimaces around his mouth. He's pissed about that one. [01:45:43] Speaker A: Yeah. He just wasted the 9th level on me. [01:45:48] Speaker B: He wasted his 9th level spell and you did didn't take 13d6 plus 4d force damage. [01:45:56] Speaker D: All right, [01:45:58] Speaker B: now. Now it's Tello's turn. [01:46:04] Speaker C: So Tello is not prone, correct? He was not affected or. He was not prone. He was knocked into the. [01:46:12] Speaker B: He is prone. [01:46:13] Speaker C: Is prone. Okay, well, he's gonna get up and he's still slow, correct? [01:46:19] Speaker B: No, no, that was. Now that we have anti life repulsion, I don't want to slow it anymore. The round has changed. [01:46:25] Speaker D: Got it. [01:46:26] Speaker B: Okay, well, so he's got 15ft of movement left. [01:46:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:46:29] Speaker B: Now since Wrong. Grim is within five feet of Lorient. [01:46:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:46:34] Speaker B: He has sneak attack. [01:46:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay, so he is. That's crazy. That undead aren't vulnerable to radiant. Why would they. [01:46:44] Speaker B: I. Right, right. [01:46:48] Speaker C: Anyway, that makes. [01:46:49] Speaker B: Probably because it might break the game. I at least feel like low level should be vulnerable to radio. But that's just my opinion really. [01:46:59] Speaker C: Okay, whatever. He's going to. Yeah, he's gonna sneak attack this tinky man with a silvered arrow [01:47:10] Speaker B: to stick. If. If this fight were going differently, he would have used the ninth level power power word kill. But people were still doing too well for that. Would you get to hit Greboo [01:47:33] Speaker C: 29. [01:47:34] Speaker B: 20. [01:47:34] Speaker C: 20, actually. Wait. 30. That's cool. So close. Wow. A crit for him would be a 21 or a 31 to hit. Okay, I'm gonna roll my dice now. [01:47:53] Speaker B: Crits from rogues with sneak attack are disgusting. [01:47:58] Speaker D: Yeah, just major fire. Like two fireballs together. [01:48:01] Speaker B: Yes. It's two fireballs the same time. It's b. When. When a rogue gets a crit. When a high level rogue gets a crit on a sneak attack, it's a ninth level fireball is what it is. [01:48:12] Speaker C: I'm like. I'm in my. I'm. I've collected all of my dice, and I put them all in one bag just like you guys. Now I actually have. [01:48:22] Speaker B: Daniel did the. Daniel did the. [01:48:28] Speaker A: I got to get a bigger bag. My bag has gotten too small. [01:48:31] Speaker C: I don't have that many dice. I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 sets. Which is just enough for Cello's sneak attack. [01:48:39] Speaker B: Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. Actually sounds like we need to buy Abby more dice. [01:48:44] Speaker A: Yeah, it was, like, seven sets, girl. Let's get you some more dice. [01:48:50] Speaker C: His sneak attack goes up. It's eight now. [01:48:54] Speaker B: Oh, Abby. [01:48:55] Speaker C: How did I pick that? I'm sorry. [01:48:58] Speaker A: You gonna have to roll one of those twice. [01:49:02] Speaker C: I don't have enough. That's one six. That's a one. That's two sixes, man. [01:49:09] Speaker B: This is a fun group to play DND with. [01:49:12] Speaker C: Six, six. Four. I got my one. So one. [01:49:16] Speaker B: Guys, Luna is melting into the blanket that she's asleep on, and it's so cute. Oh, no. Bye. [01:49:22] Speaker D: Bye. [01:49:22] Speaker B: I love this cat. [01:49:25] Speaker C: Roll telos one more time. Two. Okay, so 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Sorry, math. I got two sixes and two ones. [01:49:39] Speaker B: Okay, that's very balanced. As all things should be. Josh, bro. [01:49:47] Speaker A: Ready? [01:49:48] Speaker C: 36 points of damage, plus my, plus his, plus a D4. So. 39. [01:50:02] Speaker B: Now, I know you rolled all your D6s. Did you also roll the D8 just for the bolts from the crossbow? Okay, and did you add on his dex modifier? Okay, and then it's. It's a plus two crossbow that he's using. Did you add on the plus two to damage? I have. [01:50:22] Speaker C: I rolled a 30. On my D8. I rolled a six. [01:50:26] Speaker B: No, no, I believe you. I'm just checking that you did those things. [01:50:28] Speaker C: No, I do appreciate that. I do appreciate that. Okay, cool. [01:50:32] Speaker B: Gonna be on your side. Okay. As 39 points of damage, Tello reaches up the. He sees. He sees the beam fly by. Roll. Nice. Oh, that's cool. He sees the beam Fly by Ro. And he sees Craig unconscious on the ground. He. He like, kneels down. He, like. He aims the crossbow, but Rongrim is right up in front of each, right in his face until it's like, having trouble getting a shot. So he just puts the crossbow down, shakes his head with his eyes closed, takes a couple boxed breaths, just. He gets down on a knee and he takes his time. He lines at the shot. He waits, he aims it up, he breathes, and he squeezes the trigger. And when it finally releases, the bolt flies out. Rongrim, from your position, you watch the bolt sail clean through the robes of Ynt, through the ribcage, and out the other side before it flies through the beam of energy. And you watch a bunch of the red energy burst out the back of Ynt, who like, flinches a little bit. This time he can't feel pain, but he can have some of his life energy pulled away. And as the energy flies through, Tello just puts the bolt down. Or the crossbow reloads, the bolt re cocks it, picks it back up, and he just whispers, get away from my friends and Rangrim. As you look up at eat now the energy is, like, flickering and pulsing, and he looks really seriously hurt. He looks like he's not doing well at all. Wrong, Grim, it's your turn. [01:52:10] Speaker D: I look at him, and having literally not been touched by this guy, I say, let's finish this, as all tyrants should be, as I put down my shield and I bring out Corona's Bane. [01:52:26] Speaker B: Three reckless attacks, baby. Dang, people. A listener could mistake that Daniel is doing all these reckless attacks because it's good strategy, which it is. But the real reason is that this is his third combat with the Fungi's, and he still hasn't gotten two crits. And that's really his only goal in playing so many sessions with them is to go crit, crit, crit. [01:52:50] Speaker D: I got a 33 and then I got a 32, and I can only crit with Corona's Bane, but I gotta. [01:53:01] Speaker B: Dude. See, this is why it was important. This is why it was important to. To get Corona's Bane. Your entire subclass might be built around Remnant, but Corona's Bane's the weapon you're actually attuned to. Wrong name's attuned to. To Remnant. Daniel's attuned to Corona. [01:53:19] Speaker D: Oh, hey, Zach, do. For my clarity, do I need to do cold damage different? [01:53:25] Speaker B: You do not. [01:53:27] Speaker D: Oh, thank God. Oh, man. It shouldn't be that big of a [01:53:31] Speaker B: deal, but Daniel said I've had enough [01:53:33] Speaker D: of this freaking figuring things out doing Matt. Okay, I'll give you my first two attacks and then my crit. So here's my first attack. A lot of fun sounds there. [01:53:53] Speaker B: This could be a lot of damage. A lot of damage. That's a lot of damage. [01:54:00] Speaker D: 40, 39. [01:54:07] Speaker B: Somebody text me to edit the beginning for the one thing so I don't forget. [01:54:12] Speaker A: Do you want me to text you right now? [01:54:14] Speaker B: If you wouldn't mind. [01:54:16] Speaker D: I got. I got. Hold on. I'm just gonna do this. Oh, baby. [01:54:20] Speaker B: A triple. [01:54:20] Speaker D: Oh, I got three eights. That's cool. 24, 29. [01:54:28] Speaker B: Daniel enjoys being a barbarian more than a lot of other people. It's not lost on him. [01:54:35] Speaker D: What is my plus here? Oh, frick. I forgot about that. Okay. Only Corona's Bane. Only Corona's Bane can do this to me. Okay, so on my first two hits, I got 75 points of damage. And then on my Corona's Bane hit, I got 55 points of damage for a grand total of 140 damage. [01:55:03] Speaker B: Jeez. Okay. No. [01:55:06] Speaker D: 130 damage. [01:55:08] Speaker B: I want to put something in perspective damage. I want to put something in perspective really quickly. No one needs to take away from Craig's167 that holds the current Bailey D and D record. And perhaps it's the most damage anyone from Brady D and D will ever do. I mean, it's a ton. But that was 130 damage from Rongrim without vulnerabilities. Craig got 167 because the unseasing massacre was vulnerable to his radiance. That was 130 flat. That's crazy. [01:55:41] Speaker C: Wow. [01:55:42] Speaker B: And wrong. [01:55:44] Speaker D: Oh, [01:55:47] Speaker B: how do you want to do this? [01:55:49] Speaker C: Wow. Let's Daniel freaking go. [01:55:54] Speaker D: All right. [01:55:56] Speaker B: Aren't you glad the word is the well lent out wrong? [01:56:01] Speaker D: In a careless rage, he like doesn't even throw. He just lays his shield down as he pulls out Corona's vein. And he tosses in his hands, both hands, callous from years of war and battle. Looks up to the thing and [01:56:21] Speaker B: he looks at this thing that was Lord Eames leaving the chat. [01:56:24] Speaker D: Yeah. He looks at this thing that is no longer living. And he says, I will send you back once more to the place you left long ago. As I pull out my trident and I do two stabs of this icy cold damage that like freezes him to the ground and like freezes over the runes and everything. And as I hold my trident at him, frozen all over, I bring out my sword and I say, rest in peace and Then I plunge Corona's Bane into it as it just shatters and breaks and cool things. [01:56:59] Speaker B: Daniel. That's a really cool take on that, actually. That's a really cool way to do that. Daniel or Rungrim. As you. You take. You take remnant back and you. And as you stab into him, the ice, and he gets suspended there in the air, only his head able to look around. And as you pull out your blade and you say, rest in peace, that last part, peace. Peace comes out in the many tongues of the deep magic. And you watch as. I mean, there's no. He's not alive. Whoever this human being used to be, it's not there anymore. There's just this power in it. And you watch as the head turns towards you. And for a moment, the red energy flares from the eyes and a little bit of fire comes out with it. And you just hear a. As if somebody else is looking at you in that moment. As you take the blade and you. The head, where you cut the head off, the head starts to rotate, but as the skull rotates, it's rotating. And then like, it goes to fall quickly, but then it begins falling slowly up as it starts turning to ash and drift. And you watch as the rest of the skeleton encased in ice, just simply goes relaxed and the red energy dims. And in that moment, Lord Ynt, the Lich Lord is slain. That was awesome. As the Lich Lord is slain, you all stand there at the top of the tower. Craig is like. Just like. As the Lichlord's magic's died, Craig finally rolls over and throws up some blood and goes. He picks up his sword and he goes, good one, guys. Good guys. It's a good one. And you guys just take a moment to pant and breathe. Greta, you take your broom, you aim it up, and you are able to fly up kind of over the layer of the magic. Now it's still kind of spiraling up, but as you watch the magic pulse and you're having trouble getting by, you watch the magic. And as Lord Ynt dies, the tower quits conducting the magical energy up toward Blackfang, and the ward dissipates from its angle, and you can now on focus freely sail back in with your allies. As everybody lands, everyone collects themselves and breathes for a moment. You all take. You take stock of the world around you here in this ruined place, this land of death. You all watch as this tower is smoking. This one is rubble off in the distance. You don't see anything with that tower, but it's no longer producing red energy. Yours has fallen quiet. There's only one left. Only one standing on the far side of Black Fang. You can barely make it out from here. As you all are surveying the distance, could those proficient in arcana make me. Arcana checks real quick. [02:00:22] Speaker C: I would like to. [02:00:27] Speaker D: We two buff guys just are pushing our muscles out. [02:00:34] Speaker A: That's a 30 for RO. Did you get a 31? Oh my gosh. I love it. [02:00:46] Speaker B: This is. This is the female DND player version of fragile male egos that have to sit around and talk about who can can. Who can bench more. I got a 31. I got a 31. And my goddess is actually the goddess of knowledge. So. [02:01:01] Speaker A: Yeah, see, I rolled a 15. That's the only reason it's different. [02:01:07] Speaker B: I was joking. [02:01:11] Speaker C: I feel like red and row are just like. They're just like. [02:01:14] Speaker B: Yeah. At the same time. [02:01:16] Speaker C: You guys both like [02:01:20] Speaker A: Hannah were like. [02:01:21] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [02:01:24] Speaker B: You guys really were made to be besties. And both of you all turn suddenly and you look at encased in ice. That pendant, that skull, that plated skull around his neck. You remember what Alandra said? You all are both so immediately certain. That's right. Undead. They have to be bound to the plane. They need a physical source to anchor their unlife. His phylactery around his neck, Rongdrim pointed it out. That's his phylactery. It needs to be destroyed. [02:01:55] Speaker A: I yell out, we need to destroy that. [02:01:59] Speaker C: Yeah. I fly up and I grab it off of his neck. [02:02:03] Speaker B: It's caked in ice. [02:02:04] Speaker C: Okay. I grab up, I fly up and I scratch at it. I don't know. [02:02:09] Speaker B: Okay. [02:02:10] Speaker D: Wrong. [02:02:10] Speaker B: You look up, you look up as a two. A two and a half century old woman flies up to ice and starts going with her human nails. Her noma's nails. Yeah. [02:02:24] Speaker D: I think this will cut better. [02:02:26] Speaker B: And Ron Grim Corona's bane is so magically sharp that as you hold its tip up against the ice and begin pushing, it just cuts through the ice, just pushes through it and it's got this weird grinding, this like sound. And as you do, you finally get to its layer and you and the ice fractures and you're able to reach in and with your incredible strength pull it apart and you pull the necklace away as some of the bone around it frag shatters. There's still ice caked on it, but you're holding it in your hand. It's cold and heavy in the touch. [02:03:00] Speaker C: I asked the party. I'd say we just have to destroy. Destroy it right [02:03:06] Speaker B: Craig goes. Good point. And he takes out of wrong. Grim's hand drops on the ground, and he goes, wrong Grim. And he lifts his sword up over his head. And I need both of you guys to make attack rolls. Oh, yeah, I'll roll for Craig. You roll for longer. [02:03:20] Speaker D: Okay, I'm recklessly attacking, just so you know. [02:03:23] Speaker B: Excellent. [02:03:24] Speaker D: I got a crit, so. [02:03:27] Speaker B: That's right, you did. [02:03:29] Speaker D: Do you. Should I be using Corona's Bane, or can I use my trident peepee? [02:03:34] Speaker B: Your poo poo's my man. [02:03:35] Speaker D: I'm doing. I get more dice. If I do the trident. Five, then I get seven more, and then I get three more. [02:03:52] Speaker C: Can you recklessly attack him when you're not raging? [02:03:56] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, you can recklessly attack. [02:03:58] Speaker C: Oh, you can just. [02:04:01] Speaker D: Okay, you can always reckless. It's one of the first abilities you get. But I also can rage until I don't want to rage anymore now. [02:04:09] Speaker A: Oh, cool. [02:04:11] Speaker C: Oh, that's. [02:04:12] Speaker B: Well, I hope you rolled a lot of damage, because I rolled three ones on Craig's die. So that comes out to a total of three. Nine. No. Well, he has other features that go into it. [02:04:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. [02:04:27] Speaker B: Not a lot. [02:04:28] Speaker A: Trying to be silly. Sorry. [02:04:31] Speaker B: Yeah, don't even do it again. [02:04:37] Speaker D: Up 59 points of damage. [02:04:42] Speaker B: That's a good follow up. And as Star Splinter scrapes off to the side, not because it is any less an impressive weapon. It's a powerful vestige of the elder age of the platinum age. It's one of the most powerful paladinic weapons in existence, if not V. But Craig's just still recovering from 87 damage. And. Yeah. So as his arm falls limply to the side and he kind of stumbles. He could barely really wield the sword over his head. Vongre, you measure the pendant rolls slightly to the side, and you just measure your shot. [02:05:15] Speaker D: And [02:05:17] Speaker B: as you pierce down on it, you watch as the center tine from remnant pierces into the eye. And for a second, it embeds in the ruby. And the fire's burning down, but nothing's happening. And you just push until you stab into the crystal, shattering it, and the metal splits apart. And as it does, the pendant just splits. And then this little black mote of light leaves it. And you guys take a breath of silence. And then this huge fissure cracks the floor of the tower. And then you all watch the pillars. [02:06:06] Speaker A: Do we need to get out of here? [02:06:10] Speaker B: And Tello goes. That doesn't look ideal. [02:06:13] Speaker A: No. [02:06:14] Speaker B: You all watch as the tower is beginning to crumble. [02:06:17] Speaker C: Yeah, I grab Tello and I put him on my broom. [02:06:20] Speaker B: Okay. Tello runs over and jumps on the broom. [02:06:23] Speaker A: How many people can be on the broom? Just two. [02:06:25] Speaker B: Craig. Craig, like, takes a breath. He, like, raises Godspring's wings up, which are still going. And he reaches over and he grabs Boz and begins lifting up into the air. Four of the party members are taken care of. We still have Ro and Rangrim. [02:06:39] Speaker A: How high in the air is. How high? How high in the air is the. [02:06:49] Speaker B: 50. 50. [02:06:51] Speaker A: I'm gonna. I'm gonna. Are there undead below us? [02:06:57] Speaker B: Quite a few. And in fact, it's about this time that you guys can hear as they're coming up the stairs. [02:07:04] Speaker C: So it makes sense to. [02:07:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm going to dimension door. [02:07:10] Speaker B: I knew this was coming. Well, wrong room. Did you have something you were saying? [02:07:15] Speaker D: Yeah, if you don't want to use a spell, I've got a little thing that can turn me into a big bird and then carry us. Unless you would like to use a spell. [02:07:23] Speaker C: It's. [02:07:24] Speaker A: I. I don't care. I do. [02:07:27] Speaker B: One of those is objectively better for this given scenario. [02:07:30] Speaker D: Oh, my goodness. [02:07:30] Speaker A: Use the bird. Use the bird. [02:07:33] Speaker B: I'll use Daniel's. Using one of these two things is better than the other one in every single conceivable way. I'm just pointing out. [02:07:40] Speaker A: Okay, you can do the bird. [02:07:43] Speaker D: I'm going to bring out the symbol once more. I'm going to collect my shield. By the way, just so we acknowledge [02:07:48] Speaker B: everything, I will never make you. That'd be insane. Well, actually, you didn't say you picked up your shield, so it's lost forever. [02:07:55] Speaker A: I left my loot on the ground. [02:07:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm gonna grab the symbol building, so. I assumed you did. [02:08:05] Speaker D: I really wanted to, actually, but I then remembered the horde of zombies, and so I am not gonna do that. But my symbol of polymorphing that's in the form of the maker. And I'll whisper to once more and say if. Please remember that. And that's what he's gonna say. And he's like, hold on. And then I'm just gonna turn into the big bird that I've seen before. And then I like, kind of with my wing, like I'm a giant, bro. [02:08:35] Speaker B: Obviously, understanding the gesticulation can climb aboard. And as the two of you take off now, all six fungi and friend leaving the tower, you all watch as it's only four or five, six seconds later, the skeletons begin swarming up to the top level. 20, 30, 40, 60 of them, all rushing to the top. And more flooding up the tower. The tower just. Crashes to the ground, crushing powderizing hundreds of skeletons, which you get the XP for, by the way. And the six of you all begin raising into the air, flying forward. And you all take this moment to look at the landscape. The far tower in the distance. Yes. [02:09:27] Speaker C: Well, I want to do something once you're done describing the cool scene. [02:09:31] Speaker B: Okay, Excellent. We'll reserve the spot. You all look to the far tower of the Lichord on the other side of Blackfang, and you all watch as there's little activity until the clouds part slightly, and then there's just this beam of light that pierces the entire storm. And the top of the tower lights up for a moment, and then the beam dissipates, and the clouds pull back together. And you guys are just flying before. You watch the tower start to. It's too far away to hear, but you watch the tower just start to rotate and fall. The furthest one, the last one. [02:10:14] Speaker A: That's the last one to fall. Right. All the others. [02:10:16] Speaker B: So as you all are flying toward Blackfang, the fifth team, whoever they were, complete their work, whether they were still on the tower or not. And the tower begins falling. [02:10:27] Speaker A: So everyone, whether or not they are [02:10:31] Speaker B: dead or not, lived, and which is quite a success. Without their aid, you all wouldn't be able to get in Black Fang. Also, I've been rolling D20s while you guys were doing combat, just to keep a track of other things. Yes. Gribbles. [02:10:51] Speaker C: As we're flying, Greta is. Can she have the sending stone, even though it's normally in Craig's mouth? [02:11:00] Speaker B: Yes, sure. For this moment. [02:11:03] Speaker C: So first she grips the stone in, like, her palm as she's flying the broom. And she just. She calls out to Alondra, and she said, oh, my gosh, what's the name of this bad guy that we just killed? [02:11:15] Speaker B: In, Lord, [02:11:18] Speaker C: she says, in is gone. Like, keep going. [02:11:26] Speaker A: We're going. [02:11:26] Speaker B: Get into that role play. Get him, dude. [02:11:29] Speaker C: She says, in is gone. Keep going. We're going to make it. Make her be with you. And then she. [02:11:36] Speaker B: As you shout the words over the wind, you can get a message back, Greta. And you hear, could I? And then. And then there's, like, a sound. And then she pants again. Understood. Fly, Fly. And you guys look back over your shoulder as a gold dragon is dipping over a field and bursting fire. [02:11:56] Speaker C: Cool. As she. As she's doing that, she's just gonna, like. Like, she's just gonna keep. She's gonna think of each of her allies that she met and, and she's just going to repeat that in is gone. Keep going. We can do it. Make her be with you. And she's just going to like call people and call people and call people and just like not even waiting for a response. Just like boom, boom, boom to everyone that she can think of. And then once she cycles through it again, she like does it again and she's just like. [02:12:25] Speaker B: It's a blur, Greta. [02:12:26] Speaker C: It's like a monster. [02:12:27] Speaker B: It's moving so quickly. [02:12:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [02:12:29] Speaker B: But even as you don't focus on it, even as you try not to focus on it, part of the intrinsic nature of sending is that you're aware of whether or not it makes a connection. You're going a little too fast to focus on who. [02:12:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:12:44] Speaker B: But there are definitely more than a handful that don't seem to connect back. [02:12:48] Speaker C: Oh, man. Yeah. And as the fun guys can I like, as. [02:12:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Girl piss those paints. [02:12:56] Speaker C: Does that, like thinks of each person that she met last night and like, maybe she's aware that like a specific person doesn't respond, but she like repeats it anyway. She like, she, she goes through each person and like whether or not she's getting a response, like each time just repeats it and repeats it. Repeats it for as long as she's flying. [02:13:21] Speaker B: Phenomenal. Which is. I don't, I don't want to overlook that. That's sick. Roleplay. [02:13:26] Speaker A: That was really. [02:13:27] Speaker B: Sorry. I'm writing something down. [02:13:29] Speaker A: Stop writing. [02:13:32] Speaker B: Well, this is, this is good for y' all gotta take notes. As the fun guys fly away from the collapsing tower and you all are currently flying over armies of undead still marching outward. Oh, Atal and Alandra and the golems, they haven't made a dent. You will fly over thousands and thousands and thousands more of undead. They really were just distracting from you all. And as you all soar over the throngs and the masses of moving bone and hateful volition, all of your stomachs sink. Because you did it. You defeated the lords. But in front of you, spiraling up into the sky until it seems almost to pierce the low hanging storm above, is the most hateful work of stone you've ever seen in your life. Like a funnel of flame frozen in stone that gets comically narrow up to the top. The black obsidian reflects the ladder a little bit of light from the landscape. And you feel as you look at it, like it's swallowing your hope. And all of you just hear in your ears as you fly closer. Come, come and Meet your. And as the party flies forward, [02:15:12] Speaker D: that [02:15:13] Speaker B: is where we will end. Episode 170 and a half of the Accidental Adventures. Y', all. It's crazy to be going through these episodes. I was telling Hoffon, break, these are. I. I plan a lot of things, so there are a lot of moments in our campaigns that are like, oh, that was so interesting. And I thought about. I have been planning these sessions in these moments for years. It's crazy. I was telling Hoffa, like, it's weird to be playing these sessions because it feels like I'm watching Avengers endgame again. Except, like, we made it and we wrote it. Like it. Like what? [02:15:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:15:52] Speaker B: This is crazy. Let's talk levels. So you all defeated the CR21 Lich Lord Int as well as. And you defeated him in his lair, which is additional XP for me. Not a lot, but a tiny little bit. You also defeated all of his forces, including four functional stat blocks of Minotaurs. I flavored them differently before Minotaurs and a Bone Naga and a couple hundred skeletons. I didn't do the exact numbers for all the skeletons and numbers. I kind of. I averaged them together and reduced them by a lot. I'm not giving you credit for every single skeleton. That'd be crazy. But like, the ones that were. The ones that were crushed by the tower, I came up with a chunk. [02:16:37] Speaker C: I just want to make sure you got that one that Greta killed on accident. I don't know if maybe it's less XP because you killed it on accident. [02:16:41] Speaker B: I did. But for all the ones you defeated in combat, I got the exact numbers for. I just gave you a little extra for all the other skeletons that died. And you get a little more for destroying the phylactery. So having just leveled up the Fungi's gain another 0.155 levels. [02:17:02] Speaker C: Wow. [02:17:04] Speaker B: That's a big old chunk of levels. Wrong. Grim. You gained 106. [02:17:10] Speaker D: Whoa. Heck yeah. [02:17:12] Speaker B: But trust me when I say there are a lot more levels ahead of you than behind. [02:17:19] Speaker A: There we are at 15.504. [02:17:23] Speaker C: Whoa. 15.5? [02:17:27] Speaker D: Yeah. [02:17:27] Speaker B: You had overflow XP from beating the Unceasing Massacre? [02:17:30] Speaker D: Yeah, I got 17.440. [02:17:35] Speaker C: Wow. That's awesome, Daniel. [02:17:38] Speaker B: And trust me when I say whether it makes you feel good or bad, there's a nauseating amount of XP waiting ahead of you. [02:17:46] Speaker C: So I can. I just. I want to. Like. I used 1, 2, 3, 4 spells. [02:17:57] Speaker B: It's a pretty good ratio. [02:17:59] Speaker C: I feel like I used. [02:18:01] Speaker A: I had boss only use two spell slots, and I only used two spell slots because I used a lot of can trips. [02:18:09] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the other thing too. The Fungi's didn't just defeat a lich, they defeated a Lich without using a spell above fifth level. [02:18:18] Speaker A: Yeah, that was crazy. [02:18:20] Speaker C: I feel really good because two of my. I'm like. Two of my spell slots are like. Those will last. [02:18:26] Speaker A: Mm. [02:18:28] Speaker C: Aid lasts for eight hours. [02:18:30] Speaker B: A very good session to have a couple. That's one of the things I really love about that fight. And we won't keep going forever. We'll leave some of this for a third watch or something or who knows. But we should really do one again soon. It'd be very fun. But one of the. One of the things I really enjoyed about that fight is it really. You know, there are some fights where the spellcasters shine, and that is a fight where the melee characters shine. That fight without Wangrim and Craig would have been a different animal. [02:18:58] Speaker D: So. [02:18:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:19:00] Speaker C: Yeah. That was awesome. [02:19:01] Speaker B: Anywho, incredible. Way to go, varsity guys. Way to stick in. And next time when we play again next week at this break breakneck schedule speed. [02:19:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:19:16] Speaker B: Next week you all face the Queen of the Damned. [02:19:21] Speaker A: I never thought we'd be there. [02:19:23] Speaker D: Scary. [02:19:25] Speaker C: That's pretty cool. [02:19:25] Speaker B: Listener. I hope you join us next week. And above all, I hope you remember that life is an incredible adventure and you're a very important part of it. Stibbidiwabbitywapiw.
