[00:00:00] The Rancors Brothel presents A Dungeons & Dragons campaign Out of the Abyss As he swings, as he swings, you see a burst of light around this weapon and he smites you. This is an unholy paladin. We might be in some trouble. No, no, I knew we were. Yeah, yeah.
[00:00:54] I wasn't too worried till the gas showed up. I wish it had been one big bad thing. Some...we are way... Why keep throwing one big bad thing at you and you guys wiped the floor?
[00:01:03] Correct, because the real way to do it is a lot of little things that paralyze people. Because this thing... Lucas and or Shroeder are going to keep eating crits. Okay, 6, 13, 26, 36 points of damage. I don't know though. I'll have to think about it. Did you get that? No.
[00:01:25] 36 points of damage. You attacked recklessly. Yes, but I get my great weapon master signal attack. You get an attack. Yeah. Taking the minus 5? I figured I had to since I took it earlier. No, the minus 5 is per attack.
[00:01:41] You can decide your first attack you do, the second attack you don't. I'm gonna cheat because I already know this is fucking cleric. Or I mean a fucking paladin. Is your Lester a bonus action? I'd have to look. No. I'm not sure. I don't think so.
[00:01:56] I don't think it is. It's a crit 20. Nice. Because I was reckless. Yeah. So... Of course, then I didn't fucking take the minus 5. Of course I didn't. A paralyzed creature is incapacitated. C-conditioned. 19 points of damage. How much? 19. If it does matter, Dawnbringer is a magical weapon and does...
[00:02:18] Since we're dealing with unholy undead shit, it does... Radiant. Radiant. No, he's not undead. I didn't think he was, but I feel like in this combat it might have been prudent to bring up. No, absolutely. You're not unholy. No. If you swing at the gas, remember that.
[00:02:36] Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. He just hadn't been defined yet. Yep. And I also didn't know. I should have said something on the cleric, but I didn't know we were dealing with undead at that point. Or the wizard, I mean. On this, can I expend a superiority die? Yes.
[00:02:50] Okay. I'm going to expend a superiority die for more... Because I've only used one so far. You can move at half your speed, Troy, without provoking attacks of opportunity. So if you'd like to move yourself and get back to back, if you'd like to move away from the
[00:03:08] gas, it will get you away from some of the conditions. So think about that. But on top of what I already do, like 19 damage, I think it was something like that. Yes. That's another 8. Because I don't think I get the bonus.
[00:03:20] I don't get a bonus or anything on that. It's just an extra D8. And that's two superiority dies used. I use one on Lucas and one on Troy. Sorry, I got to look something up right quick. Yeah, I have never played a paladin.
[00:03:30] They're pretty weird, don't worry about it. So yeah, you can move up to half your speed if you want to. I don't know if you want to move back and cover... Help cover Lucas and consolidate there.
[00:03:43] I don't know if you want to jump up on the table and get back to back. I don't know if you want to move back into the alleyway. The hard part is that if we're too clustered, we're just going to get fucking swamped on.
[00:03:54] But you and the shield guardian have the most meat. You're the biggest meat shields right now. I know I'm the meat shield, but I haven't healed yet. I mean, I've been hit pretty recently this session.
[00:04:05] So I'm saying if you want to move back, I'm giving you that option now. I'll tell you right now, there's no way I can take both of these guys by myself. I don't think. I know. But if you want to step back and nuke at the table,
[00:04:17] I'm going to be the only player that you're going to injure depending on where you drop it. I can't really do any nuke anymore. Need a rest for that. So I don't know if you want to move, but you have to move now if you're going to. Yeah.
[00:04:30] It's a good fight setup, Jeff. Is this in the book? No. Well, the filth riddance and the cult thing is, but in the book it's like CR2 characters. Yeah. Which I mean, what's brilliant about this multi-stage fight, right?
[00:04:47] And you set up the table in a way that I think is action economy for you, but you drew out a great CC spell from Lucas and the way that it fell out. And then dropping these guys in as a secondary wave of attack is actually really clever.
[00:05:01] I like it because they're just going to slow and cause problems. That's how you do upper level fights in D&D, in my opinion. You get shit like this that's just going to paralyze and cause problems.
[00:05:11] Because essentially you've eliminated anything Lucas or Shruder could do until after this next turn. Because I assume you're done. I assume I'm about to eat a paladin club to the face. What's your speed? Yeah, well, I think I moved too far, but I ain't going to rethink that.
[00:05:28] Oh, okay. Yeah, because you're probably what, 30? You can only move 15. But you also don't provoke attacks opportunity when you do that to see him. I know. Yeah, we'll do that. It's a large creature. He keeps moving it to the center and you keep moving it off the center.
[00:05:43] Okay. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Come on. I'm going to swing at the, at Kira. Don't forget your advantage. I got it. Go fuck yourself. Oh shit, I don't think he got you. I think his, there's only a 14. Beep, beep, beep. Cool.
[00:06:05] He will spend a bonus action cast spell. Counter spell. You can if you want. Oh no, he can't. I just did. Who just went? The paladin. The paladin. Okay. Is he? Uh, black. Why is it gotta be about color, Troy?
[00:06:23] Because they have different abilities depending on their color. Carrying on. Taking up a gygax. Lucas. Save or something, Cunt? At the end of your turn you get another save. What kind of save is it, sir? Constitution. Hey, it's a 14. That's a fail. Grady, you're up. Uh, rage. Yup.
[00:06:51] Now I might be able to fight both of them, we'll see. I'd also like to... Oh, oy vey. I'm gonna describe it as something cool. It's a movement, Jeff, but I do want to do it in a cool way.
[00:07:05] She's gonna play at the butt of her glaive on the end of the table since she's standing on the table. And then she's gonna scream like Xena Warrior Princess. And basically I'm just gonna move 10 feet in the opposite direction so I stay within threat range.
[00:07:18] But I want to be there, yes. Okay. But I'd like to imagine I do a cool... Ay ay ay ay ay ay! Yeah, where she doesn't actually flip but the camera spins so it looks like she flips. Ugh. Whom I'm all worried about.
[00:07:31] I'm all worried about the wizard. What? Nothing. Oh sorry. Yeah, you should be. I am keeping us out of a line. And I'm also keeping it so any CC spells he has can be used. And then just moving to a different line.
[00:07:44] I know, you can go ahead and hit me. That's fine. If you think you do enough damage to put one of them down, you probably won't put me down. Rage, great weapon master. I still like to not do any damage to our most hurdy player.
[00:07:59] Rage, great weapon master and fucking give an advantage to get advantage on the wizard. Reckless. Reckless, that's what I want. You doing the minus five thing? Yeah, I was. Because I'm a bit of... 13 doesn't hit him. No. And again.
[00:08:17] If you had to guess, he doesn't look like a wizard. Hopefully a 19 hits him. It does. Okay. 25 points of damage. Nice. You have like a cleave of any kind? Don't you have something like that? They don't stay close enough to get the reward.
[00:08:32] They're not close enough to get the reward. Oh, gosh. And then I will... Unless jumping was a bonus action, no. Second wind. Good. Okay. I gained it. I'm going to turn because, well... I guess the only other thing, Jeff, that I would ask is whether or not...
[00:08:49] Power surge. Would I have an action surge? Did you use it in the last fight? I did use it... I didn't use it in the last fight. I used it in the fight before that on the bridge. You get him back on short rests? I do.
[00:08:59] Then you would've gotten it back because we rested for four hours, right? What? No, he was cooking for four hours and butchering him. I... If Jeff wants to say that, that's fine. I mean, I never said that I was gonna rest.
[00:09:08] You never said you were going to take a short rest. And that's fine. I just wanted to ask because if I would use it or use it for it. You never played that one. And I made him roll for it. No, I'm fine with whatever you say.
[00:09:16] I just figured I'd ask. Never done it before? If I had the opportunity, I'd try to do it now. You had time to. I did, but first time I've ever played D&D. That's fine. No, I just wanted to ask. Carry on. Okay. Is the clerics turn? Um...
[00:09:31] Yeah. The gas poison effect only happens once, right? Once they shake it off, they can't have it again for like a minute or something, right? I would have to look. I'm just curious. But I'm assuming the claws are every hit. Yes. Sounds right.
[00:09:58] Yeah, make sure you pay attention if you've passed a poisoned. Because if it's the way that I think it works, you can't be poisoned by them again for an amount of time, which should be the amount of time for us to live or die.
[00:10:09] Because who's passed the poison? Just Troy? It's just Troy. You guys got kind of doubled. Okay. Uh... The cleric reaches out to touch Kira. Uh... No. Yeah. Bad touch. Uh, 19 on the die plus numbers. I use a card he touches the building instead. What's the card?
[00:10:35] Is it bullshit or...? It depends. You're not gonna let it happen, so... It's bullshit. It's not bullshit. It's kind of annoying to reach that one. There's no save on it. That's real bullshit. Well, now he made an attack, so... He didn't. He touched me. That's not an attack.
[00:10:52] Yeah, it was. It was a spell... A melee spell attack. Bad touch! Yep, it was. What are you doing? I thought I had another eight. Are you fucking infebling me? No. That's what I would do. No, I'm inflicting wounds. Uh... Oh, and you're gonna heal like a prick.
[00:11:13] It's 31 points of necrotic damage. Half. 31 would be round down, right, 15? Yeah. Did he heal when he did that? Yeah, he did see some healing. Um... I'm guessing this light isn't bothering them either. No. Off the glaive? No. Okay. I think he's got any... Actually, on that melee attack...
[00:11:40] He will go ahead and channel divinity. When you hit with a melee attack, deal an X-deal twice your cleric level, plus your wisdom modifier in necrotic damage. So another 27 points. Okay. Shorter, you're up. Is this your con save? Yeah, I mean it's all I can do, right?
[00:11:58] No, I was... Fuck. Nope. Okay. What is it? A three. It rolled up on top of that coin and it was an 18. Troy, you're up. I'm gonna go before we try. If it's a deck saving throw like I think it is, I get advantage. No.
[00:12:18] Are we still in the same... Are we not going back around yet? No. No, I assume he was gonna do his breath weapon. Do it. Fucking do it. I don't have a breath weapon. Oh, I'm not an actual dragon. Doesn't mean you can't have it. Try harder!
[00:12:31] I tried and someone got me killed. Spit some oil out on her or something. Clearly, you were going to do a thing that Kira got in the way of, so just... Well, yeah, actually I was mistaken. She did get in the way. She's lucky. Well done. Do it.
[00:12:45] Let's say restoration, not paralyzed. Oh, that gets rid of paralysis? Yes. Okay. So, Schroeder is now not paralyzed. And you moved back. Yeah. When did the gas go? I don't know. Next? Next. Pick up one of them and break them in half.
[00:13:05] Yeah, I'm gonna take a hit at this one. Okay. 16. That'll hit. Nice. They should be relatively easy to kill. You may not get them on one attack, but they shouldn't be hard to kill if you can hit them. High points. 15. Probably not quite enough.
[00:13:22] That includes your fire damage? Okay. We'll call this 1, 2, 3... Oh wait, never mind. ...4, 5, 6. What are you doing? He's counting out which one so he can keep track of... Oh. He's taking notes on which ones are which. Sure. Okay. Second attack. Same one? Yeah. Okay. Nice. So, a 17 will hit.
[00:13:43] 25 damage probably? For 13. Say 25 to 30 hit points probably. 28. What? How many did you just do? I should be 28. It's still a... Oh no, I mean you did 28. Yeah. Yeah, they're still up. They were waiting to see if you were removing the piece from the border now. Oh hell no.
[00:14:01] I was saying 25 to 30 is what I was expecting hit points on them if I had to guess. Normal gas? Yes. Yeah. These are werewolf gas. No, probably something to do with the cleric. Probably something to do with Yinako. He said they had like dog...
[00:14:16] Was it dog faces or something? Yeah, hyena face. Hyena face. That's my turn. No my bad. Gasts, three at Schroeder. 20. No. 22. Fuck. 24. Two consaves. 17 and 15. Pass both. Fuck. 15 and 16. Okay. Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[00:14:51] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh oh oh oh. Lucas. Two at you. First one. The 15. Oh. Yeah. My AC is not super high. If this were to give him a number he would have gotten it by one. It is in fact a game of numbers. 25.
[00:15:16] It is in fact all about numbers. Second attack. Crit. Oh well, it's a crit anyway. That's awesome. 21 points of damage. Oh. Okay. You can try. Troy, one at you. That's a 22. Nope. No? Nope. What is your AC? 23. He is made of metal. And has magic stuffs. Oh okay.
[00:15:46] The artificer can boon his own equipment. Okay. It'll go to the paladin. It's your paladin. That's... You did reckless, right? First attack. Crit. 26. You going down this turn? Ahhhh. Are we understanding these things are under this guy's like... Probably the clerics control one of them. The control? Yeah.
[00:16:20] Is that something we could roll on? It depends on if he does what I think he's gonna do. If he does what he thinks he's gonna do. You got two attacks. Actually, I could temporarily give you that. I had to touch you. Oh no. Is the weapon damage?
[00:16:36] Just for old times sake. What? 17 and 9 psychic damage. Oh fuck you. So that's 8. So 17 total. Correct. You found his weakness. You knew what it was. I know. You're nice if you missed, Jeff. Yeah we'll see. I'll appreciate it. Miss. Yay! Rolled a 3 and a 4.
[00:17:02] Oh no you suck again. Uh, ghost Lucas. Conceived? Yeah. What did you roll? A 3. You need to roll better. Grady you're up. Oh hell. How is... I'd like another body in this fight to, you know, well you can roll better. You could roll better.
[00:17:29] How is the, how is the cleric looking? Yeah I've only got so many of those you know. He looks beat up. Man I really need to draw, if I drop one of them I feel like we've got a fighting chance
[00:17:40] if Lucas would roll a big god damn number. I probably don't survive his next attack. Probably depends on what Jeff rolls. So, I mean it's been working for me right? Reckless attack. I credit on that didn't I? You did. I didn't roll it. I didn't think you did.
[00:17:58] Yup. Cause otherwise I probably would not be alive right now. So I'm gonna make the most of it and Reckless attack and Great Weapon Master. Yup. And try and fuck your cleric. Fuck the cleric, okay. I just don't think I'm gonna be able to get through
[00:18:14] the damage with the Paladin. I think that I, theoretically I should be able to do more damage against cleric. Theoretically. So you got a dice roll. That is a 19. Ah, that'll hit. Okay. D10. Schroeder I'm gonna give you the ability to move if you want. Okay.
[00:18:34] So think about that. So D10 plus D10 plus 18 plus D8 is what I'm doing on this hit. Okay. 24 points of damage. Nice. He looks well beyond bloody though. I would hope so. Next attack. That's pretty enough. Because that would be 14. No. I have a bonus action left.
[00:19:01] Can action surge. I already used second. Does the Paladin look like he's got range? Like reach? No. Okay. I guess I'll take my Po-Warm Master attack. I don't know that I have anything else so. Yup. It's only D4 but I still get everything else right?
[00:19:19] I'm still attacking with the reckless attack. Oh yeah, you're moving. You can take the minus five. Oh no, I was going to. I need you to move. 16 hit him? Nope. Okay. Fuck you Jeff. The Paladin's gotta be harder to hit I would think. Paladin I'm not...
[00:19:35] Well I guess I won't have to. Well you move now. I know. So you all good? Yeah I'm out. You can knock me out now. The cleric casts a spell and basically everything this way goes very very quiet. It's only 60 feet isn't it? 20 foot radius.
[00:19:53] It was a 40 feet. Out to here. From right here. This is circle right? Yeah. Okay. Did I get to move? Yeah if you want to. You move up to half. Yup. If your movement's 30 yeah you're good. Is that not where you want to go?
[00:20:10] Oh no, no you're fine. Sorry. I'm going in the different direction than you might have. Shorter you're up. So you cast silence. I did. Okay. Which goat fucks most of your spells? Yeah pretty much. Who cast silence cleric? Yup. Yup. Fair.
[00:20:28] Makes my semi-heroic sacrifice less sacrifice you Jeff if they can't do anything. Good combat though. I'm engaged. I like it. Yeah I'm good. Sorry I was trying to see if there's anything that was somatic. Somatic? Only. I'm just looking at the action economy.
[00:20:50] Like I think Troy took a big risk earlier with his turn. Yeah I had to. Because you restored and he immediately got attacked so. Yeah. I mean it's as good a choice as any other. I was hoping he'd not failed the role. I not failed two of them.
[00:21:08] So I'm pretty well fit. You can move out of it. Oh you did see the misty cloud stuff around his hands goes away. Okay you can simply move out of it too. I know do we have we don't have any idea where it ends though?
[00:21:23] No you would have no idea. Okay. Huh okay. I didn't know if it was visible or not. Not that I know. Is it just silence? Mm-hmm. I'm curious if it describes it. If you can show me that it does. Think I should go that way?
[00:21:37] No I don't know. Go whatever way you want. Okay. I'm gonna do something different anyway so. You can go your own way. I'm just going to move towards Lucas. Yeah just keep me going. Right there you would hear again. Okay. Wait. And you'd get an attack of opportunity.
[00:21:56] But I wouldn't but okay so the hearing. Basically it stops I mean you're right outside the barrier. Right. If I go that way one will I be out of the hearing? Towards Lucas. He's trying to see if he can stay with the barrier.
[00:22:09] I'm trying to see if I can hear while avoiding the attack of opportunity. You'd have to go here and I think he's still being it right? Yep. Okay. No you took the best path. Okay. So that gets you out but you get the opportunity so.
[00:22:23] Actually I don't know. Because it'd be a square wouldn't it? Mm-hmm. Yeah so no you'd have to come out to hear. Oh okay. What's a square? The area 20 by 20 it would be a square because you don't cut the corners anymore.
[00:22:38] I mean it's either swing uselessly and deal hardly any damage or take an op attack. Yeah. The action economy is taking off though. Yeah optimize your area of attack. Yeah I'll take the op attack. Okay well you'll get there. But you're gonna move. Miss.
[00:22:54] You want to move here though right? You want to move here. Yeah. Oh there. Yeah that's where I want to get to. You missed. You good? Yeah okay so now I can actually cast spells. Correct. Um.
[00:23:04] No if you look in the DMG at spell effect areas a 20 foot by 20 foot radius is a squared because if you start at the center point and go 20 feet out it's still five square or four squares. Yeah but it's. Then why would it differentiate radius than a square?
[00:23:26] Uh huh. Like things are in radius or they're in squares. I should. There are things that are defined in a. From this point it's 20 feet. I mean 5, 10, 15, 20. I'm trying to keep him from going down. Yeah no I don't think that's all today. 5, 10, 15, 20 it's a square.
[00:23:45] You have two big bads at the head. I know I just I know it doesn't. Yeah. If I'm thinking radius I'm thinking circles that's why I thought he was out sooner than he was. But the world doesn't say because it doesn't differentiate the language if there's
[00:23:58] no difference between a square and a circle. It's taking hit. Yeah. No no yeah. And it's going to be right back there. No I don't think it's a bad call. They're going to hit you before your next turn.
[00:24:07] Yeah no I don't I don't I don't have any problems. Okay channel divinity turn undead. They're going to try to hit him. So wisdom saves. Okay. Each undead that can see or hear me within 30 feet of me has to make a wisdom save. If they fail.
[00:24:21] See or hear or see and hear. See or hear. Okay. So we're going to be see you then. That hearing thing is uh. That does make a diff. I would argue that all three could could either see or hear him. Yes number one. They get advantage.
[00:24:35] I figured they probably did. They're not your normal gas. They're going to be a little hard will save. It was just still be poopy. Yeah wisdom say 16. Nope. Number two. Nope. Three got it. Okay. Four got it. Five got it. Go fuck yourself Jeff Jesus Christ.
[00:24:59] No six missed. Two next to me failed. One two and six. Yep. This one. Yeah. Yes. How far? Well they not nothing until their turn. No. They can't run away until their turn. Gotcha. Which is coming up.
[00:25:17] You did get a card by the way to keep things anxious. You did roll a 20 on what was essentially a skill check right. No I don't get those. I get it when you roll once. Oh that's right. My bad. Sorry. Okay. That's an action the channel divinity is.
[00:25:34] Is that considered like casting a leveled spell as it. No. No. Okay so then I can cast a leveled spell bonus action. Correct. Okay. So then channel divinity is not casting a spell. Got you. You're using a spell like ability. Yep. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. What?
[00:25:57] No it's just it's swinging. The pendulum is swinging back and forth. I still feel like not killing that cleric is going to come back to bite me in the ass. He's not. I'm going to attempt so. I'd appreciate it.
[00:26:13] This paladin is going to bring down the butt fuckinging I feel. Is he wearing any armor? The dragon board. Kinda. Okay. It's like one of those things right here. It's a cylinder kind of on leather strap. He's wearing he man armor.
[00:26:27] Yeah that's why I don't know what it's actually called. Furbureches and yeah. I'm going to cast mass healing word at a sixth level. On me. I'd hug you if I wasn't paralyzed. He says mentally. Just. Thank you. Is that multiple targets or? That's all of us.
[00:26:54] I get to slept up to six targets within 60 feet. We're good. I'll just let you know you don't have to select the shirt. The shoulder. I'm not worried about it. Can you select me as two of the targets? No. You and me both.
[00:27:10] I wish that would work that way. What do you have to roll for that? What are you rolling? It's just one D4s or just a D4 base plus it's not massive. It's not. It's not going to be very much. It's a six level.
[00:27:23] This is a much more effective spell when you have people down. Yeah. Especially the grave domain. Yeah. Well. So 15 points for everybody. It's not bad. That doubled my hit points. I'm back at the top of the start of this fight.
[00:27:46] I have a I've pretty much flirted with sub 40 hit points for every combat thus far. Which I think is played out well in just favor. It's made it way more tense. Shit if these guys have been hit whaling on me at 133 hit points. Anything else you can do?
[00:27:59] Are you good? Oh no, that's it. I took an action and a bonus. Yep. Troy. I am going to cast the thing that is called kinetic jaunt. Oh, the verbal is. Nope. So my speed increases by 10. I don't provoke opportunity attacks.
[00:28:21] If he wasn't in silence, you would hear the $6 million man noise. Because I imagine like Lee majors you walked over there but you just left. It's more important to keep them from hitting you again than it was for getting you moving. 17. Miss.
[00:28:40] Did you add plus two for flanking? Nothing. Especially when you're not flanking. That's close enough. It's more funny when you're on my side Jeff and they don't know it as opposed to when I say something that's utter bullshit and you know it immediately. Fucking prick. Run in. Heck.
[00:29:02] Can he move through here? Yeah. Why would he not be able to? He's got a... I mean I know the opportunity attacks. I'm just... Are you talking about the squeeze? No, he cannot... He can't squeeze if that's the question you're asking. Step on him. Bug him. Giant.
[00:29:20] Pick him up and throw him. Okay, that one's been hit so I'm going to go with that one again. This one? Yeah. Number one. 23. That'll hit. 12. And he is no longer turned. Is he still up? Yes. Jesus Christ. It's a hit. For 10. Huh? No. Well...
[00:29:45] I get that but... I would have been shocked for him to do two attacks and hit both times and not kill it. I'm shocked. It's close. It's got to be close motherfucker. They're like CR3 creatures or something. No, not these ones.
[00:30:01] Well I know these ones aren't but it's not like they're CR18s. Oh no, no, no. Any time they say it's like a thing but you know it's like four CR higher than it normally would be. Y'all done? Yeah. Okay. Well... Well what Troy?
[00:30:17] You still don't provoke op attacks. I know. So if you'd like to leave majors back into a different position. Yeah. Okay. Alright Skeletor, what you got? I don't know, let's see. Show me what you've got. First attack at ya. Nope. I got nothing. I'm just telling you no.
[00:30:37] Willing the dice to be no. 18. Fuck, that's an 18. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead and hit me. Dickhole. You're rolling a plus 10? I apparently so. Chances of him missing me then are incredibly low. No. That's a 17. Then go fuck yourself. Okay. Damage is plus 10, up to hit is plus 9.
[00:31:04] Okay, I was like wait a minute. Second attack. I mean I could believe it. That one will hit. No, that looks like it's a prime number. Pretty sure Moldeus was hitting at a plus 10. But it's also with magical weapons. Yeah. Yeah I didn't do that.
[00:31:22] I didn't give him magical weapons. It's an awful lot of dice for a regular hit. Not for a smite. Yeah I know it isn't, prick. Just count it up separate. Two separate instances. You're still cutting the whole thing in half. Right, but the rounding might be different.
[00:31:42] I'm just saying that's the way you're supposed to play it, Jeff. Okay, 14 from the strike. So set. One, 22 from the smite. Okay, so another 11. Still standing. Okay. Wouldn't have been if hadn't been for that. That one was scared. This one is scared.
[00:32:11] I mean that's channeled to finish, you guy. Opportunity attack from the shield guardian. Shield guardian. Can we not make it? What? You can choose not to take it. Oh, that's right. It's worth a shot. Nice try, asshole. Yeah, six.
[00:32:30] You got to realize to take those guys out right now, you're looking at conservatively. No, but seriously, can you do a second time? I think so. I think you get two. No, you get one unless you're like sixth level cleric. I'm not sure what level you are.
[00:32:48] Not that. You can take an opportunity attack at that one if you want. You do. 20. Nice. Now I can't remember one was which because I moved them. That one would have been... I think number three. I think I was actually...
[00:33:09] Four, five and six were over there so was it the one closest to me? Four and five. That's four, that's five. How much? One second. I'm going to make sure I've been doing the damage right. Hold on one second. Okay. I find a way to cheat some more.
[00:33:23] No, I was. I just wanted to make sure. These were supposed to be D18s on the damage I see. 47 points of damage, Jeff. 21. Nice hit. Okay. Two attacks at Earthland. Oh no, 46 plus four, yeah. 21. Yeah. Okay. Konsei. They're rolling it plus sevens? They are. 16. Pass. Second attack.
[00:33:58] Well, the other guy. No. Miss. Lucas, one attack at you with advantage. You are still paralyzed right? 22. Very double secret paralyzed. 20 points of damage. Yeah, you only want to attack at you. Yep. One at the shield guardian. How much damage did you do to me?
[00:34:23] He never rolled it. Oh, I didn't did I? Sorry. Teacher, teacher. I mean, he didn't roll it. So you could have just blame him. 16 points of damage. I thought he was going to come back to it and then he moved on. So.
[00:34:39] I bet that misses the shield guardian. So 13. Yes. God, I hope so. Lucas. What else? Those guys are done. Yeah, I think that's it. Lucas make a save please. Somebody else want to roll? Don't look at me.
[00:34:56] I'm getting advantage on every attack and I still miss most of the time. These old blue. Let's roll it outside of this thing. Maybe this thing's bad luck. I mean, you just think, I should never bomb. So 13, but I can use arcane deflection and add four to it.
[00:35:15] The hell is arcane deflection? Does it require a verbal or somatic? It's just a reaction. It does not. All it's I can read it for you. I had an open. It's literally if you if someone hits you or if you fail a saving throw,
[00:35:28] you add either two to the AC or four to the saving throw. That's what it does. Does not require you to speak, move anything. Just sounds so made up. It's a real thing.
[00:35:42] Were you just never at a point in any of your other roles to use it prior to? I'd never had rolled high enough to add four to make it work. I roll. I kept rolling really early. My plus five wasn't going to do anything.
[00:35:51] The plus four wouldn't do much either. When you're hit by an attack or fail a saving throw, you can either use your reaction to gain plus two bonus to AC against that attack or plus four bonus to that saving throw.
[00:36:00] When you use this feature, you cannot cast other spells, penchups to the in nature. That'll do it. I'm free. You are. What happened? I just feel like I just like the idea that he immediately goes because he's been paralyzed this whole time. He immediately goes, ow!
[00:36:15] God, it hurts. Grady, you're up. Yeah. Really quite filthy down here. Fuck. I don't like the way that this is going, Jeff, but I really think that I'm tying up these two. And that's probably incredibly useful to the dumb fucks dealing with the gas,
[00:36:29] which I don't know should be the focus, but I get it. I really hope they're being controlled by one of them, but it's a really kind of a 50-50 because either one of them could, but the clerics probably more likely.
[00:36:39] God, I hope we don't have to mop all these guys up. I'd love to just stab one of these fucks and they all die. Not looking good. Reckless on the cleric. Great weapon master. Still raiding. Despite all my rage. Still just a piece of shit.
[00:37:03] I mean, rolling two dice. How often can you roll under 10? Repeatedly. Yeah, no, apparently. That's not going to hit either. 15, you told me that didn't hit either. Nope. Third attack. Nope. God. Maths in my favor. Don't tell me. Ask me why. That is multiple swings.
[00:37:23] And at this point, Kira just walks off down that way. I quit. She drops the glaive, just commits sepicoot. It's all over. I'll be joining shortly. What level was the channel, the second channel divinity? Did you look it up? Sixth. It is sixth? Yeah. I thought so.
[00:37:41] That's cool. You should lie. Learn to lie. It was 13th level. Let me get that fucking eye. I hope it's channel divinity isn't what I think it is. No, it's a channel divinity. I mean there is a spell. That's what I thought. It is not a prepared spell.
[00:38:03] Grady. Yeah. Maroons. Constitution saved. Pretty good at it, but it's not going to matter probably. 23. It's pretty good. That'll pass. It ain't going to matter. He's throwing a whole fucking pile of damage. Two. Ten, seven, fifteen. God damn it. I'm getting tired. I can't math.
[00:38:33] You're the one who chose this combat. 19, 12, 7, 3, 8, 40, 5, 25, 28, 41 points of necrotic damage. I have like almost single digit hit points. So, I'm down. Well, you take half and then half again. Because you passed. Okay. And then you... So you said you have resistance. 40 set. 41. 41. So I take 20.
[00:39:00] And then half again. And then half that. Ten. Are you still up? You said about single digits. Is it actually single digits? It's not single digits. Okay, so you're still up. This bitch. She's just leaning on her glaive at this point. Please make it stop hurting.
[00:39:21] Why does it always hurt this much? You just fucking face fucked me with your channel divinity, didn't you? No. You didn't? I was blight. I could have tacked the channel divinity on and added another 27 points. I'm surprised you didn't. He's saving it for somebody. Shroeder, you're up.
[00:39:46] Kill all the things. The thing I would like the other players to bear in mind is that sooner or later these two are going to turn on you. Yeah. I mean, if I don't go parallelism... Temperature. I can drop another vortex in there.
[00:40:03] I can start trying to suck them in. I'm doing okay. No, no, no, you're just going to leave. I just needed to get out of silence. You what? I needed to get out of the silence. You got out of the silence way the hell back here. Yeah.
[00:40:19] I had the movement. Why not use it? I don't really care if the shield guardian is so... I think you can draw a 20 foot radius. Right here. That's it? Sure, yeah. So we need to be here? Yeah. So right here, that's a 20 foot radius.
[00:40:37] Can anybody else confirm besides Jeff? So 5, 10, 15, 20. 20. That's going to hit Lucas. It is going to hit Lucas? Yes. Yes, that will hit Lucas. So go over 1. Yeah. That's where I'll see. So you won't hit Lucas and this Gast? But you will hit...
[00:40:54] Yeah, you'll hit the shield guardian, but you're not worried about that. He's fine. I'm casting a 6th level Ice Storm. Nice. Everything that's in the radius needs to make a deck save. That's a nice number. Cleric. Okay. I need some help. No, then Halogen. Fuck.
[00:41:17] I'm assuming you don't add anything to that, right? Decks. I have to look at the shield guardian. So minus 1. There you go. Yeah. 20, you know? You don't add things so much as take things away. 18 for the Cleric and 20... Maybe take half? Yeah, they'll take half.
[00:41:36] He won't get any of his effects though. 20 something for the Cleric. I rolled a 19. Just roll the damage. Yeah. What about your big Estes? I can't imagine that the Undead have a lot of decks. Even if they are. That one passed. That one did not.
[00:41:54] These two did not. No. So only this one did. Only that one passed. I couldn't see it under your hand. I know it wasn't an 8. Reroll it. So it's 24 bludgeoning damage. I'll put you in the 1 and 4. And 15 cold damage. And they take half on a fail.
[00:42:18] Or on a save. That one drops. In the area of effect... Yeah. The area of effect turns... There is now difficult terrain. Until the end of my next turn. Chilly Willy! 39 total. Yes. That one drops. That was number 3. Correct. You have number 3 and number 4? I think alive still.
[00:42:42] Yeah, and 2 and 6 are running. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Getting there. How's that cleric looking? Considering I can't hit him for fuck all. Well he was beyond bloody the moment ago. Yeah, he's pretty beat up. Like I really should have finished him off by now. Yeah you should have. Why?
[00:43:01] A bonus action chilele. This is the guy who's paralyzed the entire game thus far. What does chilele do? Just imbues my staff with magic damage. Did you not put a magic weapon? I guess he did this round. Chilele! Well that was the first fight.
[00:43:18] Yeah, oh the spiritual wasn't... I was instantly paralyzed. That's right. And I'm not moving, I'll stay where I'm at. Troy! Hopefully that helps him. I mean you're taking pieces off the board so we can direct attacks. I'm doing what I do, I just can't fucking finish anybody off.
[00:43:40] Waking Lucas up now he could hopefully do something useful. I mean at this point you gotta realize for the first time now we outnumber the total number of enemies. I don't know what to do now. Heart things. Scorching ray.
[00:43:52] Just remember Jeff that turn is for a full minute. For the ones that are running. Yeah. Not 20, fuck your shots. 20 mother fucker. Card. No it's a attack rule. Oh that's right. You get to roll it more than once at least. I know. Do I add? No. I can.
[00:44:13] Scorching ray? No. Okay 12, that's one ray. At the cleric. Cleric. Okay. Do you have to roll for every ray or is it just damage for every ray? No he has to hit with each ray. Yeah. 13 it looks like. That should be it. Yeah I'm sure that's a hit. 22.
[00:44:32] Nice max. Nice. For max damage 12, no. 15. What's the D8? My arcane focus. Oh okay. So anyway Troy started blasting. Still up then? It's good why he lasted. You blow him off of his feet and you see a spell go off and he starts to get back up.
[00:45:01] Still he still looks beat to shit. Would a 14 have hit? No. Okay. So did he get knocked down? Yes. Can I go again? Are we ever going to keep him down? Oh yeah. Does getting knocked down affect his AC when he's on the ground?
[00:45:18] It didn't matter he bounced right back up. No he's still down. I don't say if he got knocked down by the second ray, wouldn't the third ray? No that's only string. I think it's a melee. 20. Yep. For the guest. Am I hitting rolling again?
[00:45:35] 2d6 is where you're rolling early. Yep. For which one are you hitting? Plus 4 I think. This one? 10. Weird memorization shit. Oh no it's all matrix once you kind of learn it. 14 hit? Guest. No. Okay. I was a guest. Are you sure? Yes.
[00:45:55] I thought it was low but I don't know how. All good? No. They're still alive. Yep. Roll better. I roll pretty damn good. Yeah he specifically bought those weighted dice Jeff. I didn't roll that good. Do something good Lucas. No, Luke's at the top.
[00:46:18] It's either gas or the... This guy takes one move over, reaches down and touches the cleric. Oh that's... Yeah. Oh wait a minute no he doesn't. He steps over and he swings. I don't know if he stepped over and touched him.
[00:46:35] No he didn't step over and touch him. Coward. Burn a bonus action to heal up. I like the better when he steps over and touches him. Yeah. Because then I might have been able to burn those. I'm sorry I can't remember all these spells. It's D8 I think.
[00:46:52] No it's not. I think it is. I think you're wrong. Are you doing healing word? Yes. D4. D4 plus? D4 plus your modifier. Thank you. Okay. Two swings at Grady. 20. I assume that hits? Yes. Okay. Dickhead. 20 points of damage.
[00:47:22] He clubs me on the head and Kira falls to the ground. Can you take your second attack after you move? Uh... I don't know is it just extra attack? Yeah. I don't know. I've not thought about that before. Oh I would assume that's a second action. No.
[00:47:41] It's taking your... Did you just move a second time? Yeah. He's just... He hasn't used all of his movement. I feel like we've played it that way. Is it just Paladin? I'm pretty sure Nushka did. Is it just Paladin? He's getting that extra attack from? Yeah. Okay.
[00:47:55] I just want to look it up in Paladin. Yep. Warlock is... Way too far. It doesn't matter. I'm probably not going to hit the turtle. Probably not. I mean you have to roll like a 12.
[00:48:05] It says you can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the attack action. So I would think you probably can't move an attack. Because it says you attack... No because you can move, attack, move and split it up however you want.
[00:48:19] But see it says you can attack twice instead of once when you take your attack action. So to me it's not like... You've already taken your attack action so then you can't attack a second time. It's not two separate attack actions. No I know it's not.
[00:48:30] But you can split up your move and everything like that. That's not the way that reads though. That doesn't mention anything about movement. You can split your movement. You can't split the attack I guess. Yeah that's the way it reads.
[00:48:41] It says when you take your attack action you can attack twice. You can attack twice instead of once. Right. That's the way that reads to me at least. No it doesn't have to be single target. Not single target but that you can't split it after a movement.
[00:48:57] It wouldn't make sense because you've already taken the action to attack. Yeah if there was a second target here he could hit it. That's what I'm debating. But if you want to then move then no you negate the second attack.
[00:49:10] If you take an action and more than one weapon attack you can break it. Yes you are able to move in between your attacks. It says that on page one. From the basic rules emphasis added if you take an action that includes more than one weapon attack
[00:49:23] you can break up your movement even further by moving between those attacks. Correct. That's what I was trying to read. Sorry. Shorter one at you. Oh yeah. You should guard in here. Miss. You get points every turn. I know. He should still at least. I don't know.
[00:49:41] I would rather you pinpoint and do 30 something. 39 right? Luke 36 I think. Yeah. You've had like four turns to figure out what you were going to do. They tend to do that. You need me to pick a spell for you is that what you're doing over here?
[00:49:57] From doing what? Toll the dead. Poor Lugia's a tired. You haven't even done anything in this combat. Literally. Literally. The last hour has been you preparing for this move. Whatever excuse you want to come up with bullshit. Someone is missing. Yeah it is.
[00:50:19] You can just magic missile your highest thing that fucking cleric to death. Yeah. If your attack was going to be over here it could still be over here. Oh. Yeah I mean just hit the fucking cleric.
[00:50:33] You only have to roll just say magic missile and you shoot the fuck out of it. We want to kill this fucker. He's on the brink of death so let's push him over the brink.
[00:50:43] Just use that and beef it the fuck up because you have all your slots. I lost my slots. I did use one spell. Lots of slots. Yeah. Yeah. I see what you did there. Fine we'll just do that. We'll just do it at 6th level. Why not?
[00:50:59] Magic missile at 6th level. At the cleric? Don't want to use all six of them at the cleric? Don't want to spoil them. I don't know how bad does he look. Can he change his aim if he drops? Make a medicine roll. He's beyond bloodied.
[00:51:12] Didn't there used to be a third one? Super beyond blood. 21. He looks pretty close to death. He looks like he had a spell in the place that stopped him from dying and somebody healed him a little bit. Yeah. Yeah the question is how much? Just fucking nuke him.
[00:51:29] I'll just nuke him. 6th open fuck him. What is it? Wait a minute. It's not... You get three to start. Yeah it's a level six spell. Okay so one plus five. Three plus three plus three equals six. Is that not what I said? No. What did I say?
[00:51:52] I'm so fucking tired. Like I'm really tired. What did I say? Just roll a bunch. Three plus three plus three equals six. Yeah I know that. What is that? God damn it I love you. What did I say that tripped me?
[00:52:07] I'm so fucking tired and stressed out right now. Okay you throw three darts. Yeah. And then you add one for every level. Yeah. So your five levels higher than it's normal. So it's three plus five which is eight. So throw eight d4. Okay. Plus one. For each one.
[00:52:27] Correct. So plus six. Do you need some? Probably. He only has so many shaped out of elk bone. Did you say plus six? No plus eight. You said plus six. I didn't. Oh I'm gonna roll this bitch back. Go right ahead. Right now I'm rolling back.
[00:52:43] You're really in this one. Just how many do I got to you? Six. He's dead. Jim. Is he dead now? Does that kill it? You see all the magic missiles fly into a brooch. I kind of actually believe you. No. He's dead Jim. He's fucking dead.
[00:53:02] I killed him. He probably had less than 10 hit points if I had to guess. Somewhere between 10 and 15. Yeah. 12. Yeah that's pretty accurate. Like I've played this game for 20 fucking years. He did. It was 25. That's plenty. He's dead as dicks. Does anything happen with any...
[00:53:21] When he goes down does anything change around us with the other individuals? No. I wasn't sure if they were under some sort of like... I had kind of hoped because I thought maybe he had summoned them. Yeah. I don't think the Paladin did it.
[00:53:35] Do you have a bonus version of any kind I can do? Your cleric could suss out they are like boons of his devotion. Gotta do a cantrip. Huh? Cantrip level, because magic missiles a spell, a leveled spell.
[00:53:52] Oh do I have a cantrip that's a bonus is that what you're saying? Yeah you can only do a bonus action cantrip. I don't know if any of these are bonuses. It should say casting time bonus. Or no duration bonus. Is it duration bonus or casting time?
[00:54:02] No casting time. What? I was gonna make a shitty comment to you but I'll wait. Oh okay. No, I got nothing. I don't want to move because I don't want to get on the side. Grady you're up. Well not really. That's safe. Ouch. 19. Cool. That's one.
[00:54:18] I'd like to add one to my roll please. Doesn't have to be a natural to want me to give you two? Yes. I don't think it matters. I would hang on to that. Fortuitous, that would be fortuitous. I think what he's saying is making the 19-20. That's true.
[00:54:33] That's true. Making it into a net 20. Throw the shot. Figured out ass. If it were a mechanical bonus? Yes. That's more of a story bonus. Yeah I got up from the dead. How much more of a story bonus could you have?
[00:54:49] Okay death save I ain't doing fuck all beyond that. Shroder you're up. Can I haste myself? Yes. Just keep in mind it's concentration so. The goal is to make it so I don't have to make concentration checks. In this situation Jeff, you're Sherry Lewis. Cast haste. Yeah.
[00:55:12] At this point just wail on the fucker. There's three of them alive. I know that's what I'm trying to do the wailing portion there. So. No you're still trying to do the stalling part. No I'm not. I am going to cast spiritual weapon at a third level. Okay.
[00:55:29] So put that behind him. Flanking bonus Jeff. For my action I am going to attack with my Shalely. Okay. Such a funny video. So it was an 18 hit? Yes. For 12 damage. And now my magic weapon is going to attack. That will not hit. Okay. And that's it? Troy.
[00:56:03] Burning eight. Booming blade. Okay. Thank you. 26. That'll hit. Oh good I get to roll a bunch of stuff. Here comes the boom. Ready or not. Here come the boys from the south. It's weapon damage plus 2 to 8 right? Uh yes. And then if he moves you get. Yeah. Eight.
[00:56:31] Eight. Eight. 24 damage. Nice. Part of it's fire. It matters. Boom. I don't think it does. Nope. How much? A thousand. 24. I think it's a 24. So I don't really have any bonus action spells. Except for the one that I've already got active. Do you have a DMG handy?
[00:57:04] Oh yeah. I get you all. I just noticed there's something that I don't have written down and I don't remember what it is. It's a negative 12. Seems accurate. Ooh. Ah. Bah. Felt shitty for this discoverer in this now. Oh man. Sox 1. Oh yeah no.
[00:57:24] I just Facebook just advertised me the Build-A-Bear Workshop D&D stuff. It's fucking Red Dragon plush. Oh yeah never mind. I don't want to do that. I think it's alright. I'm done. Oh and there's still a shield guardian. Does 16 hit the gast? Yes. For 10. 14 doesn't hit though.
[00:57:50] I wish it showed me the end. Oh shit. I should have been doing that though. Okay. 10 to gast number I think that's 3. Correct. It drops. Yay. It was a gast. Wait a second. Can you share the space with a spiritual weapon?
[00:58:10] See if you're going to hit the pallet and no. That's a yes. Yes. I mean you could just slide the spiritual weapon over. It doesn't really matter. What? Maybe I missed how many hits it took. Never mind. That thing's been beaten on it. Oh yes for like 4 rounds.
[00:58:26] It took his... I guess it's the thing I'm not. Snowy damage and... Anything else? No it attacked twice. I attacked no bonus. Okay. Troy. No. 25. Shield. What's that make your AC? More than 25. Okay. Higher than that. 26. Nope. Shield's a plus 4 right? It's a plus 5. No. Okay. Fuck it.
[00:59:00] Go. I was like you want to do this now? Lucas has the guy looking. If you don't want to think just cast another magic missile at 5th level. He's not been hit a whole lot. No. Yeah he's been hit quite bad.
[00:59:14] I've had him hit a few times but I just didn't know how bad he was. I mean I think I hit him for half of the board. He's beyond bloodied. I poked him a couple times. I didn't think you did. I thought you were only hitting the cleric.
[00:59:25] I was going back and forth but that only a couple times. Give me all those D4s back. Fuck that. I don't give a shit anymore. We noticed just take the 8 D4s and throw them. Or 7 D4s. Do you still have another 6th level spell? No.
[00:59:37] Didn't think so. We have 2 6th level slots. 2? No but I have a 5th level. I use my 6th. I have a 5th level so take it and give me 1 less. This does give you a lot of little numbers to count. I don't like the way that one looks.
[00:59:56] I mean... I like the numbers at the time. It only goes up to 4 so numbers can't get too high. It's only 14. Yeah but then did you add the extra 7? Plus 7. Oh it's plus 7. 21 damage. Tyler if you'd like to come take...
[01:00:13] I'll just hang on to these in case I need them again. Y'all done? Grady. I still have 1 more 5th level slot if I need it. 16. Cool. 6th 4. They don't need me I did my job. At this point the game enough is just keep whaling on shit. Yeah.
[01:00:38] Punch them in the stupid face. Make a deck safe. Which one? Against the Paladin. 15. Fail. Lightning bolt. See what you want about those bone dice? They roll high. Yeah cause they're cooked. They drilled out of space so those are obviously the different sizes. 28 damage. Nasty. Lightning damage.
[01:01:10] Hit him with the shillay. If he has anything that is flammable it ignites. What's the matter with that? Cool. His club's on fire now. Add an extra d6 of damage every time he hits somebody. No. 18 or 13 will hit. Okay. Troy. Blooming blade again. Yeah it is. Fucking cantrip.
[01:01:36] It does things. Nice. 26 to hit. Yeah. Roll all of the damage. 12, 18, 19, 21. You said trouble adding 2 to 19. That was hard. He had to squint when I added it. That's enough to draw. Okay. I also forgot to add my decks on the last time. I don't care.
[01:02:03] See you drop the dragon board? Yep. I mean at that point yeah. At that point you're mopping up the gas. I mean you're cool. I'm here with that. You're literally just beating the fuck out of a guy in a corner at this point.
[01:02:14] Does he need a roller can one of us go in the stream? I will walk over to him. Don't roll it. You don't even have to walk over. Okay. You can just see one of them. You're spare the dying's range. No I'm going to heal him.
[01:02:28] And take advantage of the heal because he's at zero when he's at zero. Oh yeah that's right. Yeah so I'm gonna do that. And I will cast Cure Wounds at a fourth level. So you heal back 30.
[01:02:49] I mean at this point I think I'm gonna pop the tower and we're gonna sleep. That's I think more than what I started the fight with. At fourth level shouldn't that be at least 40? It was 48 right? It's 1 to 8 plus your spell casting modifier. Plus oh that's three levels.
[01:03:06] Sorry. God. Okay do we stop here or do we finish this? I don't need to know Belle. I think we pop the tower and sleep because... Oh no I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that.
[01:03:22] Do you want to progress the next thing or do you want to stop here? It's whatever. More fights. More fights. Nope it's not a fight. If it's not a fight then let's keep going. Okay more fights. You're able to rest. You're gonna do anything for Gash?
[01:03:39] Oh yeah you're gonna spread the dying on him right? I mean I revivify him. Either one. Well he did not like dying. I thought he outright died. I pretty sure I killed everything. Depends on whether or not Jeff's playing with mook rules.
[01:03:52] I mean he is really low so yeah you would have to revivify him. It's just third level spell. It's not that big a deal. Do it before you rest. Yeah. I wonder what his point of view is. Like there was some chatter, there was a big boom.
[01:04:09] He died and the next thing he knows he's waking up in a pile of corpses. He doesn't know he died and we removed him from the pile before we revivified them. I don't think there's necessarily a boom. Did you see what those assholes did to you?
[01:04:22] I think it just kind of goes... All he knows is you're healing him. Okay another day after leaving this area you will reach the gallery of angels. Okay. The passage you follow climbs upwards as it corkscurs through stone, finally emerging through the floor of a large cavern.
[01:04:45] The ceiling arches 60 feet overhead bristling with stalactites that drip water into the stalagmites rising from the uneven broken floor. Here and there between the stalagmites several statues of winged humanoids are set in poses of suffering and anguish. Some cover their faces while others claw at them.
[01:05:06] Others reach toward the ceiling. Their faces twisted into expressions of longing. No, no, no, we're not dealing with angels that cover their faces. I'm not gnawing the fuck out of this one. We'll find these feathers somewhere else. You're not unleashing weeping angels on us.
[01:05:24] I am not going back in time. Okay. Do you know about the weeping angels? I know that they... They're creepy as fuck. They move when you're not looking at them. That's all you need to know. Yeah, and when they touch you, they basically siphon your life
[01:05:42] and you go back in time and whatever, however much they siphon from you, basically like it reduces how much longer you live. They touch you in 2015, you go back to 1920 and live out the rest of your life. Well, and the rest of your life is significantly shorter. Okay.
[01:06:00] Yeah. So then it usually is really interesting from the filming perspective because someone gets, like especially in the first time it happens, somebody gets touched and they just blink away and the camera cuts and it's like messenger at the door, here's a letter for you
[01:06:14] and then you got this letter from somebody who died 50 years ago. It's like, you just left me in the other room but I married Sven and we did all this and I was fine. But holy shit, watch out for those angels.
[01:06:24] Kind of how you get introduced to them. Holy shit. But yeah, there are angels. There are. Do they have wings? They do. They're stone, but yes. Viseran would have warned you about this. I mean told you the gallery of angels is petrified angels.
[01:06:41] You can just take the feathers from them. You can break them off and take them with you. Adamantine X. Which one are you going to go to? So what are my actions? There are six. Which one looks the least threatened there? Threatening.
[01:07:00] There is one reaching towards the ceiling, its face, a mask of hatred. The angel, one that appears to be reaching out as if offering something. One that points at a spot on the cavern wall and its mouth hangs open in horror.
[01:07:18] There's one that stands feet apart head downcast arms at its side. There's one that holds its hands to its face concealing its visage. Oh no, I guess there's more than six. What does this say?
[01:07:34] There is this angel covers its eyes with its arms but appears to be smiling. The angel kneels on the floor and buries its face in its arms. And this angel claws at its eyes as its face appears torn and rent. How many are there? Total. Is that eight?
[01:07:52] That's more. More decks. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yes. Okay. I see the significance there. The barbarian doesn't care. Number seven. Okay. You're not that dumb of a character. I don't know what's going to happen. He said collect wing. Six feathers.
[01:08:15] As you come in contact with it through the axe. Okay. Ping. It's like everything stops and you hear a voice in your head. What would you know? Ask an ishial answer. Holy shit. You need to make a DC 15 or you need to make an intelligence check.
[01:08:32] The DC might be 15. Intelligence saving throw. Chance is a 15. Yeah. I'm not sure though. We're all very tired. God damn. 14 might do. That's what I get for reading out of the book. Am I an idiot for not getting what he's talking about?
[01:08:51] Yeah, I don't know what he was talking about. Well we know that you don't. No. You're a real to one if you want to. Like not understanding the significance of which one. You gotta remember this game also included the 13th legion. Holy shit.
[01:09:05] That's a lot of rolls there Jeff. That's 18 points of psychic damage and one level of madness. Thanks my current level four. Greater restoration. Not on the petrified angels. Makes my current level four. No, he just cast greater restoration on you.
[01:09:22] So does that make my current level three or zero? Anybody else? Which one did he hit? Seven. Which do we know which one? Seven I don't know. I can't remember. Well you have to find out anyway so. That's the one kneeling on the floor. She asked a question.
[01:09:40] I must not have answered right. Holy shit. She probably wrote it down. She said it becomes relevant. Do you have one in particular you want to try? It's just curious that they're all in very different poses, expressions. It's probably not really a right answer.
[01:10:00] Nah, let's play with it. You said there was one with its hand outstretched right? That's the one I was thinking. The one offering something? Is it actually physically offering something as far as we can tell? No. But so its hand is outstretched right?
[01:10:13] Whether it's holding something that's invisible its hand is outstretched. Right like that. Yeah. I'm going to put my hand in its hand. Make a charisma save. I'll put my balls in the hand. That's much better. You said a save. Yes. 18. Okay. Stone's cold. Oh.
[01:10:31] I'm just kind of holding a stone hand. Hello? I pulled my hand back. Yeah. I'm sure I can look at you guys. Any other suggestions? So we got to break these feathers off. Yeah. Well I tried that. I tried it on that one.
[01:10:42] You got why'd you hold that one's hand? Because I figured it would be. You got a feather from that one? I guess you just got to pass the save to get the feather. Okay. No. He failed to save that time.
[01:10:54] But you failed to save to get the feather. I don't know. You guys are more than welcome to try. I got nothing going on in terms of magic. I can wield weapons. That's what I do. Can I roll Arcana? Sure.
[01:11:04] I look in the corner where the one is pointing horrified at the wall. Do I see anything? You look where it's pointing? Yeah. No. 18. These guys done fucked up. Somehow. You don't know how. Is there a religion check that would be helpful?
[01:11:21] You will get basically the same information. Because I don't have information on what these guys actually did. Gotcha. I didn't know if there was lore behind it or not. But I wouldn't know what would have caused them to become like this based on that rule. Punishment. Medusa. El.
[01:11:36] No. El-Usifer. Okay. Do we have anything to un-petrify? Yeah. Greater restoration. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it will un-petrify them. If it was like a level of God's work. True. There was an angry one, right? With the shot. Two angry ones?
[01:11:55] Why don't you actually try to take the leaves or the feathers off the one that you just succeeded to check on? Yeah. Maybe. I will just put my hand on the back and see if a feather feels loose. Make charisma safe.
[01:12:10] But every time you touch them, no matter what. That's a net 20. Okay. Yeah, you can break one off. Okay. I have two now. You guys have high charisma? Well are they always a charisma safe? Well no, but this one is. Just the one that...
[01:12:24] What was the first one? Well I don't know that I want to talk about all the saves but what was it? It was a con save I think. I could definitely do an int save. Intelligence. Oh it wasn't int safe. Can I? Yeah. Okay.
[01:12:38] Somebody else can try and pull one off. That's the one that he tried the first time. Okay. Take a feather. Alright. When you touch it, make an intelligence save. Oh buddy. That's the one. That's the worst thing you could have possibly done.
[01:12:52] It's 11 points of psychic damage and one level of madness. I'll go to this one. The one covering its face. Who's going to ask me? Just going to let me answer. Is he sitting there shocked? He's like did you hear a voice? Drogdor?
[01:13:08] When you go to break a feather off, when you touch it you start hearing a voice and you're in the system. Kill me. Kill me. Kill me. Kill me. And it does not stop. Okay. Then I'll break the feather off and back the fuck away.
[01:13:22] Yeah kind of weird isn't it? Yeah. At this point I'm just going to start axing them. I mean at least a couple more. Do we have all the feathers we need then? You got three right? I've got two. I've got one here. Did you get one?
[01:13:39] I didn't think you did get one. Are you just trying to get it done or do you want to know what these things do? I mean somebody more intelligent than me should probably figure it out. Unless they can help us in a fight against Baphomet, I don't know.
[01:13:49] That they might? Sure. Why not? I have hit points. I will touch each one in turn. Let's see if I get killed by touching any of the other six I haven't touched yet. The one that the angel reaches toward the ceiling, its face, a mask of hatred.
[01:14:05] Yeah that one. Make wisdom save. I'm sure I'll make all these saves. Five. But that one I didn't have to make it save on? Eight points of damage, no. The angel that points to the spot on the cavern wall. You reach out and touch it.
[01:14:24] A character who makes a wisdom save. Probably about fifteen. If it's about fifteen I don't think I made it. Okay. It said twelve. You just start hearing screaming. He's giving me a plus five. You still hear the screaming. Okay. But I'm collecting feathers as I go theoretically?
[01:14:43] Am I able to pull them off? Okay, I didn't know what I was. They snap off. Sure. Yeah, you just still hear screaming. Okay. The next one. The one with its head downcast and arms at its sides.
[01:14:57] You hear a small voice in your head that says do not lose hope. And remember that the next time you make a wisdom save you do with advantage. Like right now and I touch the next one. Thanks, you. Charisma check. Fuck. Make a wisdom save. Advantage, ho!
[01:15:22] I forget what I got advantage on but I rolled shit. Wisdom save. And you said I need to remember that for next time. There was I'm just trying to set Jeff back up for the bit that we missed. Yeah, sorry. No, you're right.
[01:15:37] I just wanted I was just trying to figure out how to answer your question. No, you're right. I just want to set you back up because basically we missed two actions that I took. So I wanted to make sure that we got back to them. Okay.
[01:15:51] No, say what you were saying again. So the last recording ended as I screamed advantage hoe after which I rolled two dice, both of which were dog shit because that's what I've done all evening. And nothing happens right now. Correct.
[01:16:08] You said I'll have to remember that for next time and then you said you touched the last one. Yes. And I touched the last one and you gave a narrative thing. Yeah. If you'd like to read that again for the audience.
[01:16:17] Sorry our recording stopped and they'd notice for about two minutes. The angel claws at its eyes and his face appears torn and rent when a character made contact with the angel. It invites the character to ask a single question concerning a specific goal, event or
[01:16:31] activity to occur within seven days. The angel replies as if the character had successfully cast the divination spell. So as he explained this, my immediate question without consultation from my party because that's what I do is where is gromphe bonnet?
[01:16:49] It says I don't know who gromphe bonnet is but gromphe baen re. Oh fuck you. I visualize a giant dump on your chest Jeff. You are given a vision. You are looking down upon a port city. In the under dark? No. Do I recognize it? I doubt it.
[01:17:18] Give me a history check. If you are I'd be surprised. I am a learned person. I thought you were a stupid barbarian. I'm a learned soldier before being a reckless barbarian. 12. You're pretty sure it's... Unless he points at me. 17. 17. That's my last time again.
[01:17:44] I think I noticed an important detail Jeff. Oh shit. I go fuck yourself. We finally found a fucking use for this card. No no no. I've been waiting to have it in a time when I can use it. We've had it like three times.
[01:17:55] I know but I've rarely had it. I finally used the one for a forced duty circumstances for the viewer audience. Plus a 17 on my history roll. You're the vision widens. You're looking down on this city. You can see the port. Ships coming in, ships going out.
[01:18:18] You look down and you see a pair of black hands leaning on a railing. You're definitely in a tower. A massive fucking tower. It looks like construction is being done on it.
[01:18:32] With your roll and that card you know that this is the host tower of the Arcane in Luskin. Sweet. I was waiting for the... You see people riding lizards.
[01:18:46] No I didn't think he was in the underdark which is why I wanted to use that question specifically for that. I would just help you report it over to Tomb of Annihilation. Kira snaps back. We've got to go to Luskin now.
[01:19:01] Don't we need to finish this spell thing? Isn't that important for getting rid of the Demon Lords? Yeah one of the things we need is Gromp's spell book. That's very quiet. We have to go to him or force him to come to us somehow to get this.
[01:19:16] We need to go to the wizard and see what options he has to get us to Luskin now. Because as the crow flies it's like, God fucking a month and a half to get there or some bullshit.
[01:19:27] I suppose you've ever been to Luskin and played in a mushroom have you? Preparedness roll? No. You know that Luskin is not far from Gauntelgrim. Gauntelgrim. Still a fucking hike though. Yes.
[01:19:44] So we get to Gauntelgrim, we could get there quickly but I wonder if the wizard has a teleportation circle or something? Dimension door.
[01:19:51] But I mean that's the thing you can play in a thing and we can instantaneously be back there so let's give him the pile of feathers. Let's get the fuck out. Yeah, check in with the wizard to see if he knows a shortcut.
[01:20:04] Either to Gauntelgrim or to Luskin. Okay question for next time. Are you going straight there or are you going to deal with the maze engine? Oh, that's why I was saying that. Because we were bringing the modron to the maze engine.
[01:20:20] Yeah but Grompf is gonna be, I mean I guess it depends on what you do. Grompf is going to be hard to pin down. Right. I know it rushes us towards the end game but that's the question is if you want to fuck around with the maze engine.
[01:20:31] How much farther away is the maze engine? Uh, Gash will tell you it's not that far. I mean it's basically the next thing you're going to come to. But it's going to be an encounter.
[01:20:44] The other thing that I will pose out there that we could do which could be interesting for recording and content. We could split up gang. Yeah I don't think that's a good move. We could start. That's a good idea. Why? We could start heading towards Luskin.
[01:20:58] Just imagine you know, I don't know, fucking Shroom Boy and Trogdor blending in in Luskin to try and discover what Grompf is doing. I would like to listen to that episode. Just a thought. Just a thought. I vote we go to Luskin because I think it sounds awesome.
[01:21:16] And because the vision is of now right? This divination is of right now. I thought it was of within the next seven days. Well it had to be something that could be accomplished within seven days. A goal or something. It's not giving you 20 years into the future.
[01:21:32] No, no, no, no. It's saying that... Within the next seven days Grompf will stand right there at that spot. Could be now? Could be seven days from now. Right. So do we take the time to fuck with the manager first and then go?
[01:21:45] He's been hard to pin down and I feel like we have an advantage here. So, Kira would like to be sent back to start figuring out how we can get to Luskin. I mean, I've come back to this angel.
[01:21:55] Yeah, I'm actually kind of for the bus thing too to be honest. Yeah, I mean all I gotta do is plant a thing here. We can always come right back here. To the surface.
[01:22:05] No, I mean we could go to the angel after we deal with the maze engine and find out and get the same information. Ask the same question.
[01:22:13] I mean I kind of felt like it was a one-time thing but I don't know if it was a one-time thing or not. You touch it. I mean you touch the one twice and you need to do the charisma save both times.
[01:22:23] Right, but I only got to ask one question. I failed the charisma save before. Touch it and see if it gives you the option. This is not the one that you touched that gave you the charisma save.
[01:22:32] Oh, touch him and see if he'll answer one of your questions. But if there's a limit I don't want to... I'm just saying like... You're not wrong. Then we know no more or no less than we know right now. True.
[01:22:45] I would still say the smarter bet would be to take care of the maze engine first since we're here. The one that you just touched that gave you the divination spell is different than the one that said what would you know? Ask and I will answer. Okay.
[01:23:03] If you had to guess, you have to pass the save to get the questions answered. Fair enough. I don't give a shit either way. I need you guys to tell me what to prep next time. Like at the same time you can plan a thing.
[01:23:16] We can come right back whenever we want. Yeah, I have no problem coming back and doing the maze engine later. Right. Okay. Try and take advantage of the time that we have now. Yeah. Sure.
[01:23:28] So you want to return to the tower, drop off the feathers and then go up to the surface? Yeah, because yeah. We can... Yeah. Which one's Gontalgrim? The dwarfs. The dwarfs. Is that where we started? Okay. So then we could port the Gontalgrim.
[01:23:41] Yeah, I was going to say how quickly can we get back to the surface. So how far would Gontalgrim to Lusk be? Luskin. I was actually looking that up. Just put in Google Maps, Jeff. Because we still may need an expeditious wave to get from Gontalgrim to Luskin.
[01:23:59] Because if it's more than seven days then... Yeah. He was building a tower though. He was overseeing the building of a tower. Right. We're going to destroy your tower with a tower! Ooh, some beautiful symmetry there. I see your tower and I raise your tower! Sort of.
[01:24:17] I raise my tower with thereby crushing your tower. Yes, literally you'll just take a hole under... There's an alternate definition to raise. See your tower is as big as mine. You just dig a small hole in the ground on one side and slide it underneath of it
[01:24:32] and then raise your tower and his tower just falls over. Yeah. Just knock it right the fuck over. Make sure it falls into the water away from people. We'll figure it out. It's a map. No, we vortex pull him out to the side and it falls on him.
[01:24:46] That's the plan. Last minute. Bummer dude. We got to find something cool to do with this tower. Oh, we got plenty of opportunities. Okay, I guess it's not super close. Here's Gontalgrim. Here's Luskin. Ooh. It's a bit of a journey.
[01:25:07] Which is weird because in the books it talks about it like it's a cart ride down the road. Well, I've also maintained that the way the book describes travel is ridiculous. Eight hours in a day, like it's dumb. Well, it would be really hard to travel at night.
[01:25:24] And? It's hard, sure. I mean, like... I think people forget how fucking dark dark is when there are no electric lights. I can see it. I can see in the dark. Am I the only one? I can see in the dark. I have goggles.
[01:25:40] We hire some drought dancing lights all over the place. Ah, there we go. He looked it up on Google Maps. Okay, no, I'm pointing at the wrong place. Right here is Gontalgrim. That's Luskin. It's a lot shorter than you said. You got a scale of range there.
[01:25:57] Gontalgrim to Luskin. Let's hire some eagles. Fly foos. Got teleportation circles in those cities. Yeah, probably. So I'm saying we go to the wizard. The wizard might have an answer. We go to Gontalgrim. Gontalgrim might have an answer.
[01:26:13] So we're going to end the game next session by pissing off Gromp. Is what's going to happen? No, probably not. We're going to end the next one killing Gromp. Well that's definitely not happening. Have you met Gromp? We have a tower. We just talked about this.
[01:26:31] You need to read some books about Gromp, Lucas. We're going to push the Lining Tower of Pisa all the way over onto Gromp. It's going to be fine. We'll be fine. Find over a thousand individual episodes at our website, rankhorsbrothel.com. Thank you for listening.
[01:27:21] Much love and keep circulating the tapes. Thank you for watching.
