[00:00:16] Bancors Brothel presents The Big Sleep, Umythos 5e Adventure.
[00:01:25] I'm an artificer. Dumb ideas are just the beginning- No, that just means dumb ideas are the beginning of something great.
[00:01:33] Alright Troy, you got your speech ready? Start studying up on your Poirot.
[00:01:37] No, we're gonna- We're gonna fuckin' Aragorn the doors as we walk into the Great Hall.
[00:01:44] Well yeah, no, and then I was going to- You're just gonna- Yeah, bull the barrel, yes.
[00:01:48] Well that's what I'm saying. And then, J'accuse!
[00:01:51] That's it. That's the plan. Like, we probably need more after that, but that's the plan.
[00:01:58] No, I- Honestly I'll probably, um- I don't know, do we wanna make a big show of it?
[00:02:03] Yeah, I think you should like, throw off your cloak, scream j'accuse, and then hold up your writ.
[00:02:09] No one is above the law! I am the law!
[00:02:13] Yeah, you got your two ledgers, you got a body and a bucket.
[00:02:20] Um, how you- Are you gonna- Are you gonna barge an end with all this stuff, or are you gonna try to pull the king aside and get his attention?
[00:02:26] I think I should give the speech.
[00:02:29] Yeah.
[00:02:29] Meow meow meow.
[00:02:30] Meow meow meow.
[00:02:31] Meow meow meow meow.
[00:02:33] I'm debating because-
[00:02:35] Are you master debating?
[00:02:37] I-
[00:02:38] Want to do the big burst- Burst in, but I also wanna make sure that we don't-
[00:02:47] Uh, fastest way to combat.
[00:02:48] Startle- Startle people?
[00:02:50] No, that we- That we don't let anybody escape.
[00:02:52] Yeah.
[00:02:53] I mean, the king was going to present his- Your findings at some point, and that was his plan.
[00:02:58] He wants to make a show of it.
[00:03:00] But scaring people may not be that way either.
[00:03:02] Here's what I'll do.
[00:03:04] We find a guard.
[00:03:06] Plenty of those.
[00:03:09] We tell him-
[00:03:11] Isn't the captain of the guard who we're coming after anyway?
[00:03:13] The captain?
[00:03:14] Yes.
[00:03:17] I'm sure his drug-addled men aren't going to attack us the second we start all this.
[00:03:23] Let's just do the Poirot and see what happens.
[00:03:27] I'm disguised as a servant.
[00:03:28] I could talk to the king.
[00:03:30] I mean, it's your- It's your choice at this point, how you wanna present this.
[00:03:33] You guys have pretty clear evidence of some shit.
[00:03:36] We can't- We can't use Sylvie.
[00:03:39] Nope.
[00:03:40] Oh yeah, did we tell Magnus-
[00:03:41] She's also implicated.
[00:03:43] Big-
[00:03:43] Or, uh, what's your name?
[00:03:44] Robot Dick.
[00:03:45] Close enough.
[00:03:45] Is it Magnus?
[00:03:46] Why do you keep calling him Robot?
[00:03:47] He's Dragonborn.
[00:03:49] He's made of metal, isn't he?
[00:03:50] No.
[00:03:50] No.
[00:03:51] He's a Dragonborn.
[00:03:52] That was my character.
[00:03:54] Dumbass.
[00:03:54] That's right.
[00:03:55] Shit.
[00:03:56] Artificer.
[00:03:57] I don't know why I mixed up Artificer with-
[00:03:59] I mean, I was an Artificer.
[00:04:01] Yeah, but yeah, you're-
[00:04:02] You're a different-
[00:04:03] Yeah, I gotcha.
[00:04:04] Shut up, Emo Drow.
[00:04:08] I was mixing the two up.
[00:04:10] Drow.
[00:04:11] I let the first one go.
[00:04:13] I was not letting the second one go.
[00:04:14] What about Thomas?
[00:04:16] Tank Engine?
[00:04:18] Seller.
[00:04:18] The seller.
[00:04:19] Yeah, what about-
[00:04:20] Is he cellaring anything?
[00:04:23] Well, we left him-
[00:04:24] I'm assuming we left him down there.
[00:04:25] I mean, he would've walked out eventually.
[00:04:29] My orders were very clear.
[00:04:30] It's not like he was stuck down there.
[00:04:31] You dismissed the guard-
[00:04:33] Yeah.
[00:04:33] That you ordered down there,
[00:04:35] so I figured he might've stayed since there was no more guard.
[00:04:38] No, the guard went back down.
[00:04:40] I just like the idea that he's just sitting there just shaking-
[00:04:42] When he walked back up, the guard went back down.
[00:04:44] I did mention that.
[00:04:46] Yeah.
[00:04:47] If you wanna rally the troops, I suppose that's fine.
[00:04:49] We can make them part of the-
[00:04:50] I don't necessarily wanna rally the troops, but I-
[00:04:55] I just wanna make sure that we-
[00:04:57] If somebody tries to escape out the back, I'm just gonna yeet Flynn across the room.
[00:05:02] Are we going a full red wedding here?
[00:05:05] What's going on here?
[00:05:05] Yeah, 100%.
[00:05:06] I mean, basically, yeah.
[00:05:07] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:05:07] And we need to lock those doors.
[00:05:10] Okay, so there's four ways into this main hall.
[00:05:16] Or-
[00:05:17] Three?
[00:05:18] Three.
[00:05:19] Three.
[00:05:20] Two doors in the back, one big door in the front.
[00:05:22] Correct.
[00:05:22] Okay.
[00:05:24] So, since you're already inclined to go through the back-
[00:05:29] Phrasing.
[00:05:31] I think both of you actually should do that, since there's technically two doors.
[00:05:35] Okay.
[00:05:36] I'll come through the front.
[00:05:38] Okay.
[00:05:39] But still do the big show, like-
[00:05:41] Oh yeah, no, hurling that thing right in the middle of the room.
[00:05:43] Like, you hear me open the front doors, you burst through, you know, barrel, make a show of it.
[00:05:49] Yeah.
[00:05:51] Okay, so these two are coming in through the two back doors, and you are bowling a barrel of a dead body.
[00:05:58] No, he's bowling the barrel.
[00:06:01] I'm just coming through the front.
[00:06:02] Okay.
[00:06:02] So, are you trying to gather everyone's attention first?
[00:06:06] Yeah.
[00:06:07] So, like, I mentioned it when you were away.
[00:06:10] This is all a playing game.
[00:06:11] Boom.
[00:06:12] You kick the door open.
[00:06:12] No, no.
[00:06:13] I don't kick the door open.
[00:06:14] I Aragorn this door open.
[00:06:16] He puts a hand on each door and throws it open.
[00:06:20] He's dripping.
[00:06:23] Sexy as hell.
[00:06:25] Splash some water.
[00:06:27] Naga dog a thotter.
[00:06:29] Yep.
[00:06:31] I will die as one of them, is your response.
[00:06:33] So, I do that, and then the commotion of that would cue the others to-
[00:06:42] Yeah, no, I mean, everybody looks at the south door first.
[00:06:45] To come in the back.
[00:06:46] Kind of gets a little quiet.
[00:06:47] The other two doors kind of pop open, and everyone looks around, murmuring to each other.
[00:06:51] No, as soon as he has gathered attention, I just pick this barrel up over my head, Donkey Kong style, and just yeet that fucker right in the middle of the room.
[00:06:59] It bursts open, and a dead body falls out, gasps, and screams.
[00:07:06] The king looks around and says, what is the meaning of this?
[00:07:08] This is your, this is your, uh...
[00:07:11] Um, we were looking-
[00:07:12] You forgot to scream as your cues.
[00:07:16] Yeah, that's true, I did.
[00:07:18] I did say that.
[00:07:20] Um, I'm looking for, uh...
[00:07:24] Ray Hack?
[00:07:26] Is he-
[00:07:26] I like-
[00:07:27] No, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:07:28] Excuse me.
[00:07:28] No, I'm-
[00:07:29] Excuse me, is Ray Hack about?
[00:07:31] Is he in the-
[00:07:32] Bing, bing, bing, bing.
[00:07:32] Is he in the room?
[00:07:33] Absolutely.
[00:07:34] Okay.
[00:07:34] Yeah, absolutely.
[00:07:35] So yeah, burst through the door, try to find Ray Hack.
[00:07:39] J'accuse!
[00:07:40] I point at him.
[00:07:42] Ray Hack goes, what?
[00:07:46] He doesn't speak French.
[00:07:48] I accuse you, you filthy bugger.
[00:07:54] At which point the barrel smashes on the floor.
[00:07:57] Is it going great?
[00:07:59] It doesn't matter.
[00:08:01] Roll initiative is the next thing that you need to be saying, but we'll go from there.
[00:08:05] And he kind of stands, uh, like, he just said, what, what the, what the fuck is this?
[00:08:13] We found three barrels.
[00:08:15] Well, two more plus this one with dead bodies inside and a trap door in your office, your
[00:08:22] chambers, bedroom, whatever.
[00:08:25] Again, gasps, shrieks, screams, murmuring all around with the king kind of steps in and
[00:08:31] says, you know, Ray Hack, my brain, this cannot be.
[00:08:36] Roll per- roll a persuasion on the king to prove.
[00:08:41] I mean, to be fair, he's got two ledgers.
[00:08:43] The ledgers would prove it.
[00:08:44] Yeah.
[00:08:47] How about a 23?
[00:08:48] That's a really good number.
[00:08:51] Um, you do a little more explanation and he kind of looks at Ray Hack.
[00:08:54] And kind of snaps his fingers as two guards rush up and grab Ray Hack's arms.
[00:08:59] I would also, uh, advise, um, um, God damn words failing me tonight.
[00:09:10] The Lord Mayor?
[00:09:11] Uh, well, yeah.
[00:09:13] Sorry.
[00:09:13] We're getting there.
[00:09:17] But he was not alone in his crimes.
[00:09:19] Steward.
[00:09:20] No.
[00:09:21] Yes.
[00:09:21] Chamberlain.
[00:09:22] Grabbing, grabbing.
[00:09:23] Ahab.
[00:09:24] Sandra Buell.
[00:09:25] We don't need that.
[00:09:25] Chamberlain.
[00:09:26] He's just a druggie.
[00:09:29] Uh, apprehending.
[00:09:30] There we go.
[00:09:30] That's the word I was looking for.
[00:09:31] Okay.
[00:09:31] The steward and also the Lord Mayor.
[00:09:37] Um, and he kind of, he kind of looks at the two of them and says, and what, what evidence
[00:09:41] you have against these two.
[00:09:43] These ledgers, which have payments clearly that coincide this, this one has no names,
[00:09:52] but has monies that was found in Ray Hack's, uh, room versus this one, which does have initials,
[00:10:00] um, of at least three people that I can discern.
[00:10:03] There's one there that I'm not sure of.
[00:10:05] Um, uh, he kind of looks, uh, he looks at the, uh, the, the two ledgers kind of next to
[00:10:11] each other.
[00:10:12] What money?
[00:10:14] There's amounts here.
[00:10:16] You said you had the money.
[00:10:17] What money?
[00:10:18] I don't have the money.
[00:10:19] No, he never said that.
[00:10:20] Money amounts.
[00:10:21] There's been money that's traded hands.
[00:10:23] Did you find money anywhere?
[00:10:26] No.
[00:10:28] Roll me a deception check.
[00:10:30] No.
[00:10:31] No, I mean, I legit-
[00:10:33] You found a grand.
[00:10:34] I didn't find a grand.
[00:10:36] I found it.
[00:10:37] Everybody found a grand.
[00:10:38] You're all there.
[00:10:38] No.
[00:10:38] You're aware of that grand.
[00:10:40] The paladin has to lie.
[00:10:41] I mean, I legitimately was not trying to deceive.
[00:10:43] I was-
[00:10:44] Dude, fuck your oath, man.
[00:10:45] The cat found the grand.
[00:10:47] I like how-
[00:10:48] Did he tell anybody?
[00:10:49] This guy earlier today told me, I'm not an oath breaker.
[00:10:52] No, I legitimately was not saying that to be deceitful.
[00:10:55] I was, I forgot, I had forgot about it.
[00:10:57] You're very aware that a thousand GP were just found.
[00:11:00] Fifteen.
[00:11:01] He kind of, he believes you.
[00:11:04] Seeing this, I go, they're getting away!
[00:11:06] Roll initiative.
[00:11:07] And he kind of snipped, he snaps his fingers again as the steward is taken by a guard and
[00:11:14] someone attempts to walk up to Victor Von Hradovas and some of his guards begin to pull swords.
[00:11:25] Rage.
[00:11:26] And he said-
[00:11:27] I run across the room.
[00:11:28] Nope.
[00:11:28] Not happening.
[00:11:29] The king says, I am king in this castle.
[00:11:34] Take him.
[00:11:35] And the other two, the two guards that begin to pull swords, put them back in their sheaths and step back.
[00:11:41] So if his guards grab Hradovas.
[00:11:46] And they do, they hold them.
[00:11:49] Would you like to say anything else?
[00:11:51] You'll also find a flask on the steward's person that likely either has some or has remnants of this drug poison elixir.
[00:12:09] And the steward immediately says, I'm an addict.
[00:12:11] That's all.
[00:12:14] I'm just a humble addict.
[00:12:15] The guard that has him pulled out the flask.
[00:12:18] He kind of goes like this.
[00:12:19] It is empty.
[00:12:20] He does smell it and gives like a sick, sour face and throws it.
[00:12:24] I would request possibly to remove the Lord Mayor's mask.
[00:12:33] You do so.
[00:12:35] You do so.
[00:12:35] What does his face look like?
[00:12:37] Cthulhu.
[00:12:39] It's all chemicals and shit.
[00:12:41] I'm assuming.
[00:12:42] I'm assuming.
[00:12:43] He green eyes.
[00:12:45] No.
[00:12:45] No.
[00:12:46] His eyes are.
[00:12:47] He has beautiful hazel eyes.
[00:12:50] Slightly green.
[00:12:52] Very well, very well groomed cheeks to a very long pointed beard.
[00:12:58] As I explained before, the beard was all you can really see behind the mask.
[00:13:03] Very nice, probably fresh cut haircut.
[00:13:07] The picture is literally like a weird bob cut, but that's probably the cut of the Middle Ages.
[00:13:12] So, I mean, well, there's some information on here I don't want to give you.
[00:13:18] So, I want to take a picture of it, but that's what he looks like.
[00:13:21] Okay.
[00:13:22] It's because they did a lot of, they did a text wrap, but it's literally around his head and his shoulders.
[00:13:30] So, like you can read everything around it.
[00:13:32] It's not just like a square.
[00:13:36] And he just kind of stares at you.
[00:13:39] He doesn't say anything.
[00:13:40] He doesn't seem to have any kind of distinctive response to your accusations.
[00:13:50] You have nothing to say for yourself?
[00:13:53] And he just looks at you and says, the cod was wonderful.
[00:13:59] You finally complimented the cod.
[00:14:01] I rip his throat out.
[00:14:04] He gets a pass.
[00:14:10] And Grim Culkin rushes toward...
[00:14:14] I'm sorry, I do forget your cat.
[00:14:16] Mr. Wimples!
[00:14:17] Wimples, Jesus Christ.
[00:14:19] Suddenly Grim Culkin is like next to you.
[00:14:22] What's up, baby?
[00:14:24] It's actually a little, you kind of go, ah.
[00:14:26] Like you didn't hear it coming.
[00:14:27] You didn't see her coming.
[00:14:29] And she kind of whispers to you, there's something happening and I can't figure it out.
[00:14:35] Where?
[00:14:36] Pants.
[00:14:37] She kind of looks around and says, it's here.
[00:14:41] I don't know what it is.
[00:14:43] When you get a chance to come home, find me.
[00:14:45] And she just disappears.
[00:14:48] And right after she disappears, you feel a low rumble beneath your feet.
[00:14:54] Before the floor gives out, I'm going to grab that flask.
[00:14:57] It's empty.
[00:14:58] I don't care, is it sore?
[00:15:01] No.
[00:15:01] It's a cheap, shitty flask.
[00:15:03] Cool.
[00:15:04] I have a flask.
[00:15:05] A cheap, shitty flask.
[00:15:07] And after a moment, you all kind of feel this rumbling beneath your feet.
[00:15:15] And you're not quite sure what's happening.
[00:15:19] Man.
[00:15:20] And all of the patrons, patrons, all of the party goers kind of look around each other and begin to kind of walk out whispering to each other.
[00:15:29] Did you feel that?
[00:15:30] What was that?
[00:15:31] I'm keeping Deadeye locked with the mayor.
[00:15:36] I'm going to meow to my, what's your name?
[00:15:41] Uh, Cassius.
[00:15:42] Cassius.
[00:15:42] Cassius.
[00:15:43] We need to get people out of here.
[00:15:45] Um.
[00:15:46] Um.
[00:15:46] Something's about to happen.
[00:15:47] I am, uh, going to dead sprint for the basement door.
[00:15:51] Basement door.
[00:15:52] Yeah.
[00:15:52] The cellar door.
[00:15:55] Oh.
[00:15:56] I see what you're saying.
[00:15:57] Um, there are guards on every door, so it's going to be very hard to get out of here.
[00:16:03] Um, so you, you begin.
[00:16:04] I'm Bo Jackson them.
[00:16:05] You begin to walk towards the door.
[00:16:06] There's no walking.
[00:16:07] This is an emergency.
[00:16:10] You begin to head towards the door and you are being blocked.
[00:16:15] Shoulder drop.
[00:16:15] And, uh, King, King Atrax, King Atrax kind of, uh, raises his voice and says,
[00:16:23] These individuals have been accused of being a part of said, of, of the cult.
[00:16:28] We must make an example of them.
[00:16:31] We will not have these doings in our land.
[00:16:34] And, and again, you kind of feel this low rumble.
[00:16:36] Just low.
[00:16:37] Barely there.
[00:16:38] And, um.
[00:16:39] Are you monologuing now?
[00:16:41] To a degree.
[00:16:42] Okay.
[00:16:43] Let me go.
[00:16:44] Um.
[00:16:46] Like.
[00:16:46] Let me, let me read the box in green.
[00:16:48] Okay.
[00:16:49] Well, I'm just.
[00:16:50] You've got that look like you're going to do it.
[00:16:52] And out of the corner of my eye, I can see a lot of gray text.
[00:16:54] I don't know where you're at.
[00:16:55] There's a lot of gray text, but.
[00:16:57] But like.
[00:16:58] My initial reaction would be to like.
[00:17:01] You know, go downstairs and see what the rumbling's all about.
[00:17:04] But it sounds like you're going to monologue and we're going to boss battle here.
[00:17:06] So.
[00:17:07] I will.
[00:17:08] Politely step out of your way though.
[00:17:09] I do not accept it.
[00:17:11] You hear a chuckle.
[00:17:13] And you look about the room and you see that.
[00:17:17] Ray hack is indeed the one smiling.
[00:17:19] He just sort of looks at you all and says.
[00:17:23] You're far too late.
[00:17:26] He's coming.
[00:17:28] And again, you feel this little rose.
[00:17:31] Yes.
[00:17:33] And you may all roll initiative as he and the Lord Mayor attempt to break free from their captains.
[00:17:44] So let's do a little bit quick initiative.
[00:17:47] If we'd have lined him up and killed him, we wouldn't have this problem.
[00:17:50] True.
[00:17:52] Oh, that's bad.
[00:17:53] Oh yeah.
[00:17:55] Oh yeah.
[00:17:56] Oh yeah.
[00:17:57] There it is.
[00:17:59] Finally roll a high initiative.
[00:18:01] Yeah.
[00:18:02] Feels good.
[00:18:06] Sounds like he did too.
[00:18:09] Bet he's not better.
[00:18:10] I rolled a nat one and a nat 20.
[00:18:11] Oh.
[00:18:11] Ooh.
[00:18:14] Cody.
[00:18:15] 21.
[00:18:19] 14.
[00:18:21] 6.
[00:18:23] 13.
[00:18:24] Okay.
[00:18:26] What is Ray hack's bonus?
[00:18:31] Ray hack rolled a nat one, so it's not going to matter much.
[00:18:35] Um.
[00:18:36] I need two dice.
[00:18:38] You need two dice?
[00:18:39] Yep.
[00:18:41] Jeez, it's a full two for Ray hack.
[00:18:44] Sounds like something reckless is about to happen.
[00:18:46] Radovoz rolled a nat 20.
[00:18:48] Radovoz does go first.
[00:18:51] Radovoz uses his turn to break free from his captor.
[00:18:56] It's a full action to break free from a grapple.
[00:18:59] Cody.
[00:18:59] Yep.
[00:19:01] You start the next initiative.
[00:19:04] Rage.
[00:19:06] Rage page.
[00:19:09] I go sprinting across the room.
[00:19:12] Toward.
[00:19:14] Dipshit who just broke out.
[00:19:17] Lord Mayor Haradovoz.
[00:19:18] Okay.
[00:19:21] Reckless attack.
[00:19:24] He is.
[00:19:26] Oh no, he's free.
[00:19:28] Sorry.
[00:19:28] All right, go ahead.
[00:19:40] That's a bonus just to damage for the rage, not to the attack.
[00:19:47] 16 to hit.
[00:19:48] That does hit.
[00:19:49] I grapple him.
[00:19:51] Okay.
[00:19:52] Then he is grappled again.
[00:19:54] Yup.
[00:19:55] How much of my movement did I use?
[00:19:59] I would say pretty close to full.
[00:20:01] I mean it's a big room, so.
[00:20:03] Pretty close to full.
[00:20:04] It's a 40 by 40 room, right?
[00:20:06] So, yeah.
[00:20:07] Technically we were supposed to make an opposed strength or dexterity roll.
[00:20:11] Oh.
[00:20:13] I started rolling two dice and that probably wasn't the right way to do it.
[00:20:15] What was your roll?
[00:20:17] It would have been, oh fuck, it would have been big.
[00:20:21] Because I would have rolled.
[00:20:22] I rolled a single digit, so I assume I failed anyway.
[00:20:24] Yeah, no, I grappled.
[00:20:24] I rolled a six, it doesn't matter.
[00:20:26] Yeah.
[00:20:26] No, I'm not.
[00:20:27] Yeah.
[00:20:28] Six plus minus one would have been almost a 20 to grapple.
[00:20:30] Yeah, no, no.
[00:20:31] No, whether it's, I got a negative one on strength, so it's still a five.
[00:20:34] No, no, I got a hold of it.
[00:20:35] You got him.
[00:20:37] But yeah, no, it's a 40 by 40 room, so I'm going to assume you use pretty much all of your movement to get to him.
[00:20:41] Plus you're also, you are having to push people around, so it's almost like difficult terrain, but not quite difficult terrain.
[00:20:47] I would have left over.
[00:20:48] It is a hindrance.
[00:20:49] It is a hindrance to you.
[00:20:50] I don't care about them.
[00:20:51] They're getting knocked down.
[00:20:52] I got a hold of the wizard.
[00:20:53] But do you get up again?
[00:20:54] Next.
[00:20:56] Sorry, do you have anything else?
[00:20:59] I don't think so.
[00:21:00] There's a bonus to rage, right?
[00:21:02] Yeah.
[00:21:02] So bonus movement grapple.
[00:21:04] Yeah.
[00:21:05] Troy?
[00:21:08] You're at the front door.
[00:21:10] Or just inside the front door.
[00:21:11] I'm not just inside the front door.
[00:21:15] I'm directing this film.
[00:21:16] And you're directing terribly.
[00:21:20] How are you supposed to get everybody in the B shot if you do it that way?
[00:21:22] I'm making the combat last longer than five seconds.
[00:21:24] Go ahead.
[00:21:24] It's going to last longer than five seconds.
[00:21:26] There's going to be a fucking toad monster God that we have to fight.
[00:21:30] Don't forget.
[00:21:31] There's always the second form.
[00:21:33] Yeah.
[00:21:35] It's when the Latin kicks in.
[00:21:37] It's obligatory.
[00:21:38] People are beginning to file out pretty quickly.
[00:21:41] I thought we were locked in here because of the guards that we couldn't get past.
[00:21:44] They are pushing.
[00:21:45] They are pushing and pushing guards out of the way.
[00:21:48] Uh.
[00:21:49] They're moving away from me is what I should have said.
[00:21:51] They're moving away from the fight.
[00:21:53] There we go.
[00:21:54] I am going to.
[00:21:58] This rubble to your feet.
[00:22:00] Getting harder.
[00:22:01] Heavier.
[00:22:03] Bonus action.
[00:22:05] To cast thunderous smite.
[00:22:08] And I'm going to attack.
[00:22:11] Isn't that post attack?
[00:22:14] No.
[00:22:15] No.
[00:22:15] Is that pre-attack?
[00:22:17] You're a post attack.
[00:22:18] I'm thinking of smite.
[00:22:19] Thinking of smite.
[00:22:20] Go ahead.
[00:22:22] Uh.
[00:22:23] That's probably it.
[00:22:23] Who are you attacking?
[00:22:24] Um.
[00:22:25] Ray hack.
[00:22:26] Ray hack.
[00:22:27] Ray hack.
[00:22:27] Ray back.
[00:22:29] Feed me more.
[00:22:32] Um.
[00:22:33] It's a 20.
[00:22:36] That probably hits.
[00:22:37] Let me make sure I get that open.
[00:22:39] Um.
[00:22:41] Or do I get advantage?
[00:22:43] Is he grappled as well?
[00:22:44] At this point, he is technically grappled, but I don't think you get advantage for that.
[00:22:48] No, you do not.
[00:22:49] He's just.
[00:22:49] Okay.
[00:22:50] He's just grappled.
[00:22:51] Um.
[00:22:53] That does hit.
[00:22:55] He's got a high AC, but that does hit.
[00:23:00] He's wearing half plate.
[00:23:03] Heavy armor.
[00:23:05] Uh.
[00:23:06] So that's.
[00:23:07] Eleven of that damage.
[00:23:11] Eleven of what?
[00:23:13] Huh?
[00:23:14] Eleven damage?
[00:23:16] Uh.
[00:23:17] It's eleven.
[00:23:18] Um.
[00:23:19] Piercing.
[00:23:21] And.
[00:23:22] Ten.
[00:23:24] And.
[00:23:24] Thunder damage.
[00:23:26] Twenty one damage total.
[00:23:28] Um.
[00:23:30] It needs to.
[00:23:31] He needs.
[00:23:33] A.
[00:23:34] Strength saving throw.
[00:23:37] Strength saving throw.
[00:23:39] Does it matter whether or not he's grappling?
[00:23:42] That's a single digit.
[00:23:44] He is pushed ten feet away and prone.
[00:23:48] He's not grappled anymore.
[00:23:50] He and the guard holding him are now prone.
[00:23:55] Cacow.
[00:23:57] Thus the power of Thor.
[00:24:00] Don't feel good.
[00:24:02] Anything else?
[00:24:04] Nope.
[00:24:07] Alex.
[00:24:09] Hmm.
[00:24:10] Hmm.
[00:24:12] Hmm.
[00:24:13] Fireball.
[00:24:15] I was split between using my.
[00:24:18] Lightning launcher or my pistol.
[00:24:24] Your turn.
[00:24:25] Make a decision.
[00:24:26] Uh.
[00:24:26] The one guy's prone.
[00:24:27] So it's disadvantage with a ranged weapon.
[00:24:29] At least it used to be.
[00:24:30] That is true.
[00:24:30] It's still the case.
[00:24:32] You see what they're doing?
[00:24:33] Yeah.
[00:24:33] One D&D.
[00:24:34] No I've not been paying attention.
[00:24:35] Last thing I need is another set of rules in my head.
[00:24:37] No.
[00:24:37] The recent announcement for one D&D now is to.
[00:24:41] During combat to take a.
[00:24:45] Potion of healing is now a bonus action.
[00:24:48] Attack roll.
[00:24:49] Oh you should have been.
[00:24:49] Advantage within five feet.
[00:24:51] Otherwise disadvantage.
[00:24:52] Yeah.
[00:24:52] You get advantage if you're standing right over the top of them.
[00:24:54] It's disadvantage if it's a ranged attack.
[00:24:56] Hmm.
[00:24:57] You can William tell the motherfucker I got a hold of though.
[00:24:59] Yeah.
[00:25:00] So melee attack on top of him is advantaged.
[00:25:04] Or you can attack.
[00:25:05] Or you can attack.
[00:25:05] Any of the other two people.
[00:25:07] Kind of like the idea that I like grabbed him by the throat.
[00:25:09] And I'm lifting.
[00:25:09] Is there a third person now?
[00:25:12] The steward.
[00:25:13] Radova's and.
[00:25:15] The captain are the three people you had accused and held.
[00:25:19] The steward.
[00:25:21] Is the steward.
[00:25:22] Is this he seemed to be fighting or antagonistic.
[00:25:24] Or is he just being.
[00:25:25] I forgot to put eight tracks in there.
[00:25:28] The king's in here too.
[00:25:31] King's brawling.
[00:25:33] Yep.
[00:25:34] Suddenly.
[00:25:34] Suddenly.
[00:25:35] Suddenly this is.
[00:25:36] Devolving into a riot.
[00:25:37] What's going on here?
[00:25:39] I kind of want to.
[00:25:41] Is eight tracks on our side or against us?
[00:25:44] I mean, what have we done since we've got here except start riots everywhere.
[00:25:47] We've gone.
[00:25:48] He's on our side.
[00:25:49] Yeah.
[00:25:49] The steward.
[00:25:50] Is he just kind of hanging out?
[00:25:51] He's going to defend himself.
[00:25:53] Um, sorry.
[00:25:53] Who are you attacking?
[00:25:54] I want to know who's currently in combat with us.
[00:25:57] Cause we just got two more people suddenly.
[00:26:02] So we got Ray hack.
[00:26:04] We got, uh, the Lord mayor.
[00:26:08] The steward you said was also in here.
[00:26:10] Yeah.
[00:26:11] But I'm trying to figure out is the steward just chilling.
[00:26:13] Those are the three people held.
[00:26:15] Those are the three people held.
[00:26:16] Held in captivity.
[00:26:17] Well, one's no longer held.
[00:26:18] He's prone.
[00:26:19] Is the steward just hanging out?
[00:26:22] Because you said he was also somebody in combat.
[00:26:24] He hasn't come up yet.
[00:26:25] So yeah.
[00:26:26] So he's in.
[00:26:27] He's held.
[00:26:28] Right now.
[00:26:29] Steward is held.
[00:26:31] Yeah.
[00:26:31] And now the king's around.
[00:26:32] Got it.
[00:26:34] He just.
[00:26:34] I just forgot.
[00:26:35] I forgot to add.
[00:26:36] So I just wanted to make sure because we started with two opponents and then suddenly
[00:26:41] there are four people outside of our group.
[00:26:44] So, I mean, this room was full of people.
[00:26:46] That is also true.
[00:26:47] We, we were in the middle of a party.
[00:26:49] I don't remember that.
[00:26:49] Do we need 20 more initiatives then?
[00:26:52] What's going on here?
[00:26:53] No.
[00:26:53] Got it.
[00:26:55] Just cap somebody even wanting to do it.
[00:26:57] I have.
[00:26:58] Um.
[00:26:58] Just tell me which of those three you're attacking.
[00:27:01] Uh.
[00:27:01] Who are you holding again?
[00:27:03] Uh.
[00:27:03] The Lord Mayor.
[00:27:05] Yeah.
[00:27:05] Let's shoot at him.
[00:27:06] Shoot at him.
[00:27:08] Yeah.
[00:27:09] Yeah.
[00:27:09] Yeah.
[00:27:09] Shoot her.
[00:27:12] There's not a negative if you're holding him, right?
[00:27:14] It's a negative.
[00:27:14] Nope.
[00:27:14] And melee.
[00:27:16] Go ahead and roll.
[00:27:17] I can hold him out.
[00:27:20] All right.
[00:27:21] I will use my pistol.
[00:27:24] I'm going to rush a leg sweep.
[00:27:25] It's not a high roll.
[00:27:26] Hmm.
[00:27:27] Nine doesn't hit, does it?
[00:27:28] Nine will not hit.
[00:27:29] All right.
[00:27:29] It goes just pretty far wide.
[00:27:33] This dice is now.
[00:27:34] Just a bit outside.
[00:27:36] Some poor woman screams and collapses because of a bullet in her leg.
[00:27:39] Sylvie just, Sylvie's on the ground.
[00:27:41] Fuck!
[00:27:42] Like, damn.
[00:27:43] And you start, get the ramrod out.
[00:27:45] I was going to blow you.
[00:27:47] Um.
[00:27:50] Lucas really wanted that scene and you really fucked it for him.
[00:27:53] You fucked it up.
[00:27:53] Yeah.
[00:27:54] You win some, you lose some.
[00:27:55] Could have been a contender.
[00:27:57] Lucas was going to give you the old huck to a spit on that thing.
[00:28:00] The old huck to a.
[00:28:03] 10 episodes.
[00:28:03] That's not going to mean a thing to anyone.
[00:28:06] Oh, it's here to stay.
[00:28:07] Polish the banister if you will.
[00:28:09] This would be like episode 18 probably.
[00:28:12] Anyway.
[00:28:12] Uh.
[00:28:13] Do you have any bonus actions you would like to do, sir?
[00:28:16] Not with my familiar out of the room.
[00:28:19] Okay.
[00:28:19] I didn't bring him in.
[00:28:21] Uh, Flynn.
[00:28:23] Uh, all right.
[00:28:24] I'm going to roll over to Ray hack.
[00:28:26] Ray hack.
[00:28:27] Yep.
[00:28:27] He's on the ground.
[00:28:28] He is.
[00:28:28] All right.
[00:28:28] That's advantage.
[00:28:29] Give him the old claw.
[00:28:31] Give him the old hot to a.
[00:28:32] The old claw to a.
[00:28:34] Uh, that is only 17.
[00:28:38] Miss.
[00:28:40] Bonus action.
[00:28:44] Okay.
[00:28:44] That one is 21.
[00:28:46] That one hits.
[00:28:47] He kind of rolls out of the way first.
[00:28:48] As he rolls back, you kind of get him in the face.
[00:28:50] You spray him.
[00:28:51] That is seven damage.
[00:28:55] I love that test tube.
[00:28:56] Fucking cat.
[00:28:59] Um, it is then.
[00:29:02] A tracks is turn.
[00:29:04] I hope he doesn't trip on his sword.
[00:29:07] He pulls out.
[00:29:09] Um, what is that thing?
[00:29:12] It's Magnum condom for his monster dong.
[00:29:15] Talked about it.
[00:29:18] The thing that we didn't mention, uh, is that most of the servants are drug addicts too, or whatever you found.
[00:29:23] We haven't talked about that much yet.
[00:29:26] I don't think it's that important.
[00:29:29] Uh, in fairness, he pulls out a, he pulls out a weapon.
[00:29:35] Um, and sort of stands his ground.
[00:29:38] Like he's a little unsure what to do.
[00:29:40] Stab the bad guys.
[00:29:42] Which is pretty on point for what you found out about him.
[00:29:47] Not that he's necessarily a coward.
[00:29:49] He just doesn't really know where to go right now.
[00:29:52] Is it a cool looking weapon?
[00:29:54] Uh, yeah.
[00:29:56] Is it named?
[00:29:57] It does have a name, but I won't give it to you right now.
[00:30:00] I mean.
[00:30:01] Give it to the queen.
[00:30:03] She probably knows how to use it.
[00:30:06] Yeah.
[00:30:07] Did the queen flee or she's still here?
[00:30:10] Does she get an initiative?
[00:30:11] Oh, she, she's trying to work her way out of here.
[00:30:14] Oh.
[00:30:15] I was hoping she was badass.
[00:30:16] I wish.
[00:30:19] I wish.
[00:30:19] A real power on the throne.
[00:30:22] Um, and then does go to Ray Hek.
[00:30:27] Um, Ray Hek's not held, but he is on the ground.
[00:30:29] There's a cat in front of him.
[00:30:33] Half his movement to stand up.
[00:30:35] He will then.
[00:30:36] He used to provoke an attack of opportunity.
[00:30:40] Once upon a time.
[00:30:42] Not anymore.
[00:30:43] Cause it's a shitty game.
[00:30:45] Uh, he pulls his weapon and will swing on said cat.
[00:30:49] Hey.
[00:30:50] What'd I do?
[00:30:53] Who's mad at kitty?
[00:30:56] That is an appropriate response.
[00:30:57] He's mad at kitty.
[00:30:58] 21.
[00:30:59] Yep.
[00:31:00] That is actually, it's higher than that.
[00:31:06] It's, oh, sorry.
[00:31:06] It's plus six, not a plus three.
[00:31:08] Uh, so it's either way.
[00:31:11] It still hits.
[00:31:13] There's a D8.
[00:31:14] There's a D8.
[00:31:16] There's a D8.
[00:31:18] That's a D12.
[00:31:19] That's an eight.
[00:31:20] That's a D12 that you rolled, homie.
[00:31:23] Shit.
[00:31:25] Here, let me hand you a D8.
[00:31:27] Thank you.
[00:31:28] Uh, that is nine slashing.
[00:31:30] Okay.
[00:31:31] And he swings a second time.
[00:31:36] That's a net one.
[00:31:37] Wah, wah.
[00:31:38] He shits his pants.
[00:31:41] Flynn gets slashed, rolled over and sprays him.
[00:31:45] Ah, cat piss!
[00:31:48] Right in the cuts.
[00:31:50] My wounds!
[00:31:52] Cat piss, their only weakness.
[00:31:55] Okay.
[00:31:56] Uh, it goes to the steward who attempts to break free.
[00:32:00] He wants to break free.
[00:32:02] And rolls a single digit.
[00:32:03] He is just struggling.
[00:32:04] I can break these cuffs!
[00:32:06] And he's just kind of like, I'm just on the take!
[00:32:10] I'm not a part of the cult!
[00:32:11] Top of the round goes to Hradabaz, who you are holding, correct?
[00:32:15] Yep.
[00:32:16] Preferably by the throat.
[00:32:18] Strength check.
[00:32:19] He needs to make a strength or dexterity against me.
[00:32:22] Is it opposed?
[00:32:23] Fuck yeah it is!
[00:32:25] Go ahead and roll.
[00:32:26] Uh, I get advantage on strength checks and saving throws.
[00:32:33] Uh, that should be a 19.
[00:32:36] You still have him held.
[00:32:39] Uh, I mean he can't do anything else, so...
[00:32:42] Um...
[00:32:43] Cody, is your turn?
[00:32:44] Yeah!
[00:32:45] Um...
[00:32:46] What would you like to do?
[00:32:47] Oh, do me a favor.
[00:32:49] Nope.
[00:32:51] Everyone...
[00:32:51] Dance.
[00:32:52] Everyone make me a dexterity saving throw.
[00:32:55] No.
[00:32:56] Dumb.
[00:32:58] What's your roll?
[00:32:59] 10.
[00:33:00] Okay.
[00:33:00] 11.
[00:33:01] Okay.
[00:33:01] 17.
[00:33:02] 21.
[00:33:04] Um...
[00:33:05] The tremor begins to get harsher and heavier as dust and bits of ceiling begin to kind of crumble and the walls begin to crack around you.
[00:33:17] And the guards kind of say, fuck this, and begin to walk out as the crowd begins to rush towards all doors.
[00:33:25] The shy hallowed approaches.
[00:33:26] Cody, you may go.
[00:33:27] Walk without rhythm.
[00:33:29] You might attract the worm.
[00:33:31] The worm.
[00:33:32] Uh, I'm gonna murder...
[00:33:33] Like, I imagine that I'm holding him with one hand, like around his throat.
[00:33:38] Sure.
[00:33:39] Lifting him up off the ground.
[00:33:40] And with the other hand, I'm going to attempt to Kali Ma him and go right through the center of his chest.
[00:33:48] Okay.
[00:33:50] Attack.
[00:33:50] It's a claw attack.
[00:33:51] It's a claw attack.
[00:33:52] I get you.
[00:33:52] Yeah.
[00:33:52] I see what you're doing.
[00:33:53] Go ahead.
[00:33:53] No, it's thematic.
[00:33:56] I get you.
[00:33:56] You want me to play the game?
[00:33:57] I'm playing the barbarian.
[00:33:59] Roll it.
[00:33:59] Reckless attack.
[00:34:00] Roll to hit.
[00:34:01] Reckless attack.
[00:34:02] Yep.
[00:34:04] That is a...
[00:34:06] Oh, that's a 17.
[00:34:07] That's not an 11.
[00:34:08] That's 23 to hit his ass.
[00:34:11] Hits.
[00:34:13] First time he's been hit.
[00:34:14] 12 damage with that attack.
[00:34:16] Okay.
[00:34:17] Reckless applies to all attacks, right?
[00:34:20] I think it does.
[00:34:22] I would assume so.
[00:34:24] Uh...
[00:34:24] Ooh.
[00:34:26] I don't remember.
[00:34:30] So when you make your first attack on your turn, you decide to attack, I guess, doing so gives you advantage on melee attack rolls using strength during this turn.
[00:34:38] Yep.
[00:34:39] That'd be a 20 to hit him a second time.
[00:34:41] Still hits.
[00:34:42] As I use my, uh...
[00:34:47] My two-weapon fighting bonus action.
[00:34:49] Your claw.
[00:34:50] It's a claw, right?
[00:34:50] Yeah.
[00:34:51] A claw.
[00:34:54] Uh...
[00:34:55] Nine, because I do the damage plus the rage damage.
[00:34:58] So another nine.
[00:35:00] So what, 21 damage I think I've given him so far?
[00:35:02] Yes.
[00:35:05] Okay.
[00:35:08] Um...
[00:35:09] Oh, sorry.
[00:35:10] Troy.
[00:35:12] Just like the idea that I'm holding him by the throat and just shoving my hand through his abdomen.
[00:35:17] Pull that fucker out and just right back in again.
[00:35:21] Fingering his ribs.
[00:35:24] I kinda don't wanna use all my spell slots if we're gonna be fighting a giant frog monster.
[00:35:32] Uh...
[00:35:33] Attacking, um...
[00:35:35] Ray back again.
[00:35:37] That's a one.
[00:35:39] You miss.
[00:35:42] Um...
[00:35:43] Uh, that's not a bonus action, is it?
[00:35:46] What'd you hit with?
[00:35:48] Hm?
[00:35:48] What did you attack with?
[00:35:50] With my trident?
[00:35:51] No, I'm good.
[00:35:52] Alex.
[00:35:54] Uh, we're gonna try and hit Ray hack again.
[00:35:57] And again.
[00:35:58] Okay.
[00:35:58] He's no longer prone, so...
[00:36:00] I'll use my rifle on him.
[00:36:04] Kachow.
[00:36:05] Bust a cap in his ass!
[00:36:09] Nope.
[00:36:11] Why are they failing me today?
[00:36:13] Alright.
[00:36:14] Somebody else in the crowd screams.
[00:36:17] I hope so.
[00:36:19] I'm just gonna enfeeble everybody.
[00:36:22] So is this magically reloading?
[00:36:24] Slashed the shit out of you a minute ago.
[00:36:25] Yeah, I'm gonna return the favor.
[00:36:26] Okay.
[00:36:27] Coming in with a claw.
[00:36:29] Ah, nat one.
[00:36:31] Big whiff.
[00:36:32] You drop your paw.
[00:36:34] Ah!
[00:36:34] Scratch yourself.
[00:36:36] Then...
[00:36:38] I'm gonna save that.
[00:36:39] I'll just do a bonus action claw.
[00:36:41] Alright, that is a 24.
[00:36:44] Don't look like you need to check if he's...
[00:36:46] He's got things.
[00:36:47] That hits.
[00:36:49] Full of shit.
[00:36:51] And cast shield.
[00:36:51] Nine.
[00:36:55] My attacks are now magical.
[00:36:57] You're over there doing some shit.
[00:36:58] I don't like it.
[00:36:59] That's what I should have done.
[00:37:00] Okay.
[00:37:00] He's still a standem.
[00:37:02] How's he look?
[00:37:03] Uh...
[00:37:04] He's okay.
[00:37:04] Narrate the attack.
[00:37:06] You slash him in the thigh.
[00:37:09] And he goes...
[00:37:10] He kind of looks at you as if he's mad that he's allergic to cats.
[00:37:13] He starts to puff up.
[00:37:16] He just starts sneezing.
[00:37:17] Hachee!
[00:37:19] Uh...
[00:37:20] Rayhack.
[00:37:22] He's a bitch!
[00:37:24] Raises his long sword again.
[00:37:28] Misses that one.
[00:37:30] He's attacking you.
[00:37:33] Uh...
[00:37:33] Misses both attacks.
[00:37:35] Jesus Christ.
[00:37:37] He's just sneezing at this point.
[00:37:39] Hachee!
[00:37:40] And just whiffs entirely.
[00:37:42] Um...
[00:37:43] Maybe he didn't have a stupid die with a weight in the middle.
[00:37:45] The steward does break free finally.
[00:37:48] Shoot him!
[00:37:49] And uh...
[00:37:50] Shoot him!
[00:37:51] Uh...
[00:37:51] Well it's a full action to attack.
[00:37:53] He runs.
[00:37:53] He runs towards the door.
[00:37:54] Oh fucking cap him.
[00:37:56] Just...
[00:37:57] Relentless.
[00:37:57] He runs towards the door.
[00:37:58] I'm just an addict!
[00:38:00] Just robocop him right in the dick.
[00:38:02] He's just an addict.
[00:38:03] What do you wanna do?
[00:38:04] I'd rather go straight for the kneecap and just...
[00:38:06] Hiradovaz.
[00:38:07] Massive hole.
[00:38:10] Uh...
[00:38:10] Hiradovaz who is bleeding now.
[00:38:12] Quite profusely.
[00:38:15] Um...
[00:38:16] Kind of looks over his shoulder at you and winks and...
[00:38:20] Disappears out of your hands and appears about 15 feet in front of you.
[00:38:24] As he misty steps out of your grip.
[00:38:25] I leap on him again.
[00:38:28] Um...
[00:38:29] Cause it's my turn.
[00:38:30] It is your turn.
[00:38:31] Okay.
[00:38:33] However that...
[00:38:33] Uh...
[00:38:34] Misty step is an action so...
[00:38:35] I think he still has movement.
[00:38:37] I hope that's an item that does that.
[00:38:39] Cause I would love to take it.
[00:38:41] No.
[00:38:42] He's a fucking pussy ass wizard.
[00:38:44] Hmm.
[00:38:46] Cause I get far enough along and I can attune a ton of stuff.
[00:38:50] Yeah he does have a lot more movement.
[00:38:52] He can actually get out of your movement space unless you double move.
[00:38:56] Tell me what I can and can't do.
[00:39:00] Yeah.
[00:39:01] He continues to move further away from you.
[00:39:04] You can either double move and try to catch him which...
[00:39:07] You can't attack if you double move but you can at least get closer to him.
[00:39:10] Don't tell me what I can and cannot do.
[00:39:14] Okay.
[00:39:14] Okay.
[00:39:16] Is he done?
[00:39:19] How far away is he Lucas?
[00:39:21] More than 30 feet.
[00:39:24] That's fine.
[00:39:25] I asked a question.
[00:39:26] How far away is he?
[00:39:28] Probably closer to 50.
[00:39:30] So is he at 50 feet?
[00:39:32] Is he at 55 feet?
[00:39:34] Actually it's a 40 foot room so I would say he's closer to 40 feet.
[00:39:38] 40 by 40 room.
[00:39:42] He's in the very corner of the room.
[00:39:45] Do me a favor and roll me a dexterity check.
[00:39:47] All of you.
[00:39:54] Why do we keep doing it in the middle of the round?
[00:39:57] Uh, he's the top of the round and I forgot to do it on his turn.
[00:40:02] 18.
[00:40:04] 10.
[00:40:05] 23.
[00:40:07] Cody?
[00:40:09] Uh, it's like 9.
[00:40:10] 9 or 10.
[00:40:11] To be fair I should get advantage on danger sense but I assume you're not going to give it to me so...
[00:40:17] I won't roll the other die.
[00:40:21] You're okay.
[00:40:24] Uh, now he would have had a, he would have had to have had a straight line of sight to Misty Stepper, at least see it.
[00:40:33] Are there people in the way between him and me?
[00:40:35] At this point probably not.
[00:40:37] Absolutely.
[00:40:37] Everybody is moving away, running away from you.
[00:40:40] They've, they've gone through every exit they can get to.
[00:40:43] Sweet.
[00:40:44] Probably still some people in the room but not in your way.
[00:40:46] Perfect. Thank you for that.
[00:40:48] I am going to, um, uh, can he make a dexterity, uh, saving throw please?
[00:40:55] Uh, yeah.
[00:40:56] He can try.
[00:41:00] That's a pretty high roll.
[00:41:01] Um, it is an 18.
[00:41:05] That's pretty good.
[00:41:13] Um, I start running across the room towards him.
[00:41:16] Okay.
[00:41:18] Um, and as I reach my 30 feet of movement, uh, as I'm running across the room, I'm pulling the javelin, one of the javelins off of my back.
[00:41:28] Hmm.
[00:41:28] And speaking the command word as a bolt of lightning extends 120 feet, uh, he has to make the dex save, which he does make, so he only takes half of 4d6.
[00:41:38] Okay.
[00:41:44] Uh, which was good on two dice but not the other two.
[00:41:46] Uh, so it'd be 15, so he takes 7 damage, 7 lightning damage.
[00:41:56] 7 lightning damage.
[00:41:58] Wait, what did you just do?
[00:42:00] Javelin, lightning javelin.
[00:42:01] Oh, yeah.
[00:42:02] That's a magic item.
[00:42:03] Yeah, I forgot.
[00:42:05] That I bought 3 of.
[00:42:08] Okay.
[00:42:09] It's a 120 foot line and anything in that line has to make the same throw.
[00:42:12] He doesn't look great, but he's still up.
[00:42:15] Anything else?
[00:42:16] You have to do melee damage to maintain your rage?
[00:42:19] Yeah.
[00:42:20] Okay.
[00:42:20] Just have to be attacked or attack, I believe.
[00:42:22] Okay.
[00:42:23] Yeah.
[00:42:24] Although you know what's interesting.
[00:42:27] Nope, I bet you tell us.
[00:42:30] I'm trying to remember.
[00:42:31] Let me check something.
[00:42:33] Okay.
[00:42:33] I don't know if I can use my bonus.
[00:42:35] Oh, that's the, that's the, that's the catch.
[00:42:38] I don't have this written down on my sheet, sorry.
[00:42:41] It is simple, but I bet it is not light.
[00:42:45] Nevermind.
[00:42:48] I was gonna see if I could also throw an axe as my bonus, but the javelin is not a light weapon.
[00:42:52] So I don't think I can do that.
[00:42:53] I have to make two light attacks.
[00:42:55] Right.
[00:42:55] Yeah.
[00:42:56] Carry on.
[00:42:57] Nothing I can do in my bonus.
[00:42:59] Carry on.
[00:43:00] Troy.
[00:43:03] I'm going to attack Ryback again.
[00:43:07] Okay.
[00:43:08] Oh, that's not great.
[00:43:11] Probably not gonna be a 15.
[00:43:12] Nope.
[00:43:13] Uh, no, I'm not gonna, no, no, I'm done.
[00:43:18] Okay.
[00:43:20] Alex.
[00:43:22] Oh, you've got.
[00:43:25] He was moved basically across the room.
[00:43:28] You got Ryback who is still in melee with the cat and the steward who was running toward a door.
[00:43:40] You're going to shoot somebody eventually, bro.
[00:43:42] I can feel it.
[00:43:43] Right of us.
[00:43:45] Fire your weapon.
[00:43:46] What's your, I assume the range is fine, but what is your range on your, your, uh, gun?
[00:43:55] Bigger than this room.
[00:43:56] I imagine that's the case.
[00:43:57] I just didn't know what it was.
[00:43:59] Jamie's got a gun.
[00:44:00] It's 120.
[00:44:02] Oh, yeah, you're fine.
[00:44:03] Good.
[00:44:04] Maybe more.
[00:44:05] Yeah.
[00:44:05] Roll it.
[00:44:06] Okay.
[00:44:07] Does it have a split range or is it just 120?
[00:44:09] That's what I was trying to figure out.
[00:44:12] Split range?
[00:44:14] Yeah.
[00:44:14] Do you get disadvantage over a certain distance?
[00:44:16] Yeah.
[00:44:16] After a certain distance, it would be disadvantage.
[00:44:18] What are you?
[00:44:18] Artificer?
[00:44:19] Yeah.
[00:44:21] Artificer.
[00:44:22] Good.
[00:44:24] Ooh.
[00:44:25] I can't.
[00:44:26] It looks like a five?
[00:44:27] Five, yeah.
[00:44:28] Yeah.
[00:44:29] Eleven on Haradavas?
[00:44:31] Nope.
[00:44:33] It goes wide.
[00:44:35] Anything else?
[00:44:35] Who do I get this time?
[00:44:37] Some other poor bastard gets shot.
[00:44:38] I hope so.
[00:44:39] So you're over three at this point, bud.
[00:44:40] You know, I was worried about that rule where you couldn't, you didn't have to reload.
[00:44:44] I don't care anymore.
[00:44:45] Like, you still have to hit the target and you only got one shot around.
[00:44:49] You still got a roll hand up to hit the target.
[00:44:51] That's another five, even though it's not your turn.
[00:44:53] No, no.
[00:44:53] I'm just checking my die at this point because all three of them are trash.
[00:44:58] You're...
[00:44:58] Where's my fourth one?
[00:44:59] What weapon are you using?
[00:45:00] I'm just curious.
[00:45:01] The pistol?
[00:45:02] Rifle.
[00:45:03] Rifle.
[00:45:04] Yeah.
[00:45:05] Which gives it better range, I'm sure.
[00:45:08] Yeah.
[00:45:08] Wait, where'd you get the rifle from?
[00:45:09] I made that.
[00:45:10] You made it.
[00:45:11] Well, I know, but what's the weapon called?
[00:45:12] Is it called rifle?
[00:45:13] Musket, I believe.
[00:45:15] Oh, musket.
[00:45:15] Oh, it's called musket?
[00:45:16] Okay.
[00:45:16] I think it falls under the musket category.
[00:45:18] Okay.
[00:45:19] For range.
[00:45:20] 1d12, 10 pounds.
[00:45:21] Hmm?
[00:45:22] It's 40, 120, just so you know.
[00:45:24] 41, 20?
[00:45:25] So 40, you can roll with no problem.
[00:45:28] 120, it's...
[00:45:29] You start...
[00:45:30] You're starting to take a penalty.
[00:45:31] You start rolling.
[00:45:32] Anything over 120.
[00:45:33] Anything...
[00:45:33] No, anything over 40.
[00:45:36] Oh, anything over 40.
[00:45:36] 120 is the maximum.
[00:45:38] Got it.
[00:45:39] So that roll should have been a disadvantage then?
[00:45:41] Well, is he...
[00:45:42] The room you said was only a 40 foot room, so unless that person is at both extremes.
[00:45:46] You're right.
[00:45:46] It's a 40 foot room.
[00:45:47] Unless I'm standing in a bell tower trying to snipe somebody, I'm good.
[00:45:50] Okay.
[00:45:50] And that's where my lightning launcher comes in.
[00:45:53] Um, bonus action?
[00:45:55] Movement?
[00:45:56] Anything?
[00:45:56] Hmm.
[00:45:59] Yeah, let's follow the, uh, drug addict.
[00:46:03] Let's chase after him.
[00:46:04] You run towards said steward.
[00:46:05] It's not like I'm gonna get out of range.
[00:46:07] Flynn!
[00:46:09] You have a long sword wielding captain.
[00:46:12] All right, Rayhack.
[00:46:14] Let's finish this.
[00:46:15] Claw!
[00:46:17] Uh, that's probably not gonna hit.
[00:46:20] 16.
[00:46:21] Misses.
[00:46:22] Fuck!
[00:46:26] Bonus action?
[00:46:27] Yeah!
[00:46:27] It's worse!
[00:46:29] Miss both.
[00:46:30] Foof!
[00:46:31] Foof!
[00:46:33] Um...
[00:46:34] Once again, A-Tracks just kinda stands there.
[00:46:37] Like, he's just been standing there all three rounds.
[00:46:39] He doesn't really know what to do.
[00:46:40] He, you, if you, if you even glance at him, he is like sweating scared.
[00:46:45] Useless.
[00:46:46] Um...
[00:46:47] Raihack swings his long sword at the Cadigan.
[00:46:50] Because you're the one in combat.
[00:46:52] Who's Cadigan?
[00:46:53] That one.
[00:46:55] Misses that.
[00:46:56] Second attack.
[00:46:59] That is just as low.
[00:47:01] So...
[00:47:01] Two misses in a row again!
[00:47:03] Still over here.
[00:47:05] So, no bat in the dare.
[00:47:08] Um...
[00:47:08] Yeah.
[00:47:09] He can't hit shit!
[00:47:11] Stuart gets to a doorway.
[00:47:14] Begins to exit the room.
[00:47:16] Stuart, not Stuart.
[00:47:17] I was gonna say Stuart.
[00:47:19] Stuart!
[00:47:20] Top of the round.
[00:47:21] Everyone roll me a dex save.
[00:47:24] Danger sense.
[00:47:26] Uh, what does danger sense do?
[00:47:27] Basically, if I see it or am aware of it and know that it's coming, I get advantage.
[00:47:31] You are aware there are tremors and that the building is starting to crumble.
[00:47:34] So, I basically, I get advantage on the dex check.
[00:47:36] Sure, why not?
[00:47:36] Because I can sense the danger.
[00:47:38] You sense the danger.
[00:47:40] Sweet.
[00:47:42] I rolled an eight and a nine.
[00:47:43] Uh...
[00:47:44] Twelve.
[00:47:45] Thirteen.
[00:47:46] Twenty-five.
[00:47:47] Twenty-three.
[00:47:49] Um...
[00:47:50] Okay.
[00:47:50] You're all okay.
[00:47:52] You do notice that, um...
[00:47:55] Uh...
[00:47:56] The masonry walls of the palace begin to crack worse and beams supporting the ceiling begin to groan and shift.
[00:48:04] As a lot of dust and paint, the tapestries are beginning to fall off the walls, the ground is beginning to crack worse and worse.
[00:48:13] As this grumble continues and people continue to exit out the door.
[00:48:18] Worst party ever.
[00:48:20] How the vase gets his chance to do some damage?
[00:48:25] Eat shit, you bitch.
[00:48:28] Alright.
[00:48:28] Well, I don't have that in front of me.
[00:48:29] Um...
[00:48:31] I don't remember if you get a saving throw off that for...
[00:48:36] That one...
[00:48:38] I think Chill Touch has a dex save.
[00:48:40] Usually in most spells you get a...
[00:48:43] Not all cantrips have saves.
[00:48:45] It is a cantrip.
[00:48:46] I believe Chill Touch does have a dex save on it though.
[00:48:50] No, you make a ranged spell attack.
[00:48:51] Is it a spell attack?
[00:48:52] Yep, you have to hit me.
[00:48:53] You get advantage.
[00:48:58] What is that?
[00:48:59] What's the plus on that?
[00:49:00] Does a 21 hit you?
[00:49:02] Yes.
[00:49:03] Okay, yep.
[00:49:03] So the first roll hits you.
[00:49:06] 10 necrotic damage hits you, sir.
[00:49:09] Am I taking the thing out of its third level?
[00:49:12] Yeah, I don't think you can negate necrotic just yet, right?
[00:49:15] If you didn't go that route.
[00:49:16] I don't have enough levels in Barbarian yet.
[00:49:19] Right.
[00:49:19] Next level!
[00:49:20] 10 necrotic damage hits the ghoul.
[00:49:23] As you feel very cold and horrible.
[00:49:27] Whenever a magician deals damage with a warlock spell,
[00:49:30] the target's hit point maximum is reduced by the damage it took for one hour.
[00:49:35] Your maximum drops by 10.
[00:49:40] Fuck it, I'm at full health.
[00:49:43] Silver lining, baby!
[00:49:45] Baby!
[00:49:45] Yay!
[00:49:46] Let's go!
[00:49:48] You see a couple of those wounds heal a little bit.
[00:49:54] My turn?
[00:49:55] It is.
[00:49:56] You didn't say he moved, I leaped on him.
[00:49:58] He's basically at the edge of the room.
[00:50:00] It's a 40 by 40 rim, man.
[00:50:02] You can leap toward him, yes.
[00:50:04] Here come the claws.
[00:50:07] Reckless attack!
[00:50:08] The claw!
[00:50:10] I assume a 23 hits.
[00:50:13] Uh, yeah.
[00:50:14] It's hit several times before, so...
[00:50:16] Do I have any type of reaction?
[00:50:23] Nope.
[00:50:25] 12 damage.
[00:50:25] Okay.
[00:50:28] Second attack.
[00:50:32] That is a crit 20.
[00:50:35] Sure, go ahead.
[00:50:37] I think you're gonna kill him this round, so go ahead.
[00:50:41] Uh, I get savage attacks.
[00:50:45] Uh, on savage attacks, because that's something specific.
[00:50:49] You score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, which this is.
[00:50:52] Mm-hmm.
[00:50:53] You can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage.
[00:50:58] Uh, 15 damage.
[00:50:59] He did.
[00:51:01] So he casts his spell and is like, ha ha, I have healed.
[00:51:03] And I just leap.
[00:51:05] You said he was at the edge of the room, right?
[00:51:06] Oh yeah, he's against the wall.
[00:51:08] I just leap and like, first one goes through his chest and pins him against the wall,
[00:51:13] and the next one I shove through his throat.
[00:51:15] Yeah, he dies.
[00:51:20] Lord Mayor dead.
[00:51:23] He did.
[00:51:24] Troy!
[00:51:25] I tried this asshole again.
[00:51:27] Which one?
[00:51:29] The only other one.
[00:51:31] Well, technically he's trying to shoot a druggedag.
[00:51:35] He's nobody.
[00:51:36] That's a single digit, bud.
[00:51:38] Uh, I'm going to use my channel Divinity, so that makes it a 19.
[00:51:43] I think he said it was 20 or 21.
[00:51:45] Uh, no.
[00:51:46] No, it's 18.
[00:51:47] Oh, is it 18?
[00:51:48] Yeah, 18 is the sweet spot.
[00:51:49] 19 hits.
[00:51:51] Half plate.
[00:51:52] Excellent use of, uh, channel Divinity, sir.
[00:51:55] Yep.
[00:51:55] Well played.
[00:51:56] Do some damage.
[00:51:57] Nine damage.
[00:51:59] He's looking pretty bad.
[00:52:01] He's still alive.
[00:52:03] Are we saving up for a boss fight?
[00:52:07] Oh.
[00:52:08] Yeah, I know.
[00:52:10] Done.
[00:52:10] Or the castle could fall down on our heads.
[00:52:13] That's true.
[00:52:13] One of the two.
[00:52:14] Alex, what are you doing before you roll your die?
[00:52:19] Shooting on the, shooting that guy again.
[00:52:21] I'm just going to shoot him.
[00:52:23] Which guy?
[00:52:24] Is the drug addict still in the room?
[00:52:26] The steward?
[00:52:27] He's right at the doorway.
[00:52:31] Not through it yet.
[00:52:31] He's right there.
[00:52:32] You can take one more shot before he disappears.
[00:52:34] I really want to shoot him.
[00:52:36] Go ahead and fire.
[00:52:36] Sure.
[00:52:37] I'm only an addict.
[00:52:38] You're still getting shot.
[00:52:40] He's just an addict.
[00:52:42] I am the law.
[00:52:44] Oh, yes.
[00:52:45] That's a much better fucking roll.
[00:52:46] Yes.
[00:52:47] That is a 20.
[00:52:49] Natural 20 on the die.
[00:52:50] Roll your damage twice and add your modifier once.
[00:52:55] Man.
[00:52:58] Yep.
[00:52:59] So that's 12.
[00:53:02] Uh-huh.
[00:53:02] And that's 10.
[00:53:04] So that's 22 and my modifier.
[00:53:07] 11 plus nine, add modifier once.
[00:53:11] Yeah.
[00:53:11] So 20.
[00:53:12] 20.
[00:53:13] It's a ranged weapon so you shouldn't add anything else.
[00:53:15] It's just two straight damage.
[00:53:17] You can fire one shot through the back of his head and he drops.
[00:53:22] I'm just a nap.
[00:53:24] He did.
[00:53:25] Teach you to abuse drugs.
[00:53:27] Remember that kids?
[00:53:28] Just say, he turns into the camera deadpans.
[00:53:31] Just say no.
[00:53:32] Or else.
[00:53:32] You kind of spin about it.
[00:53:33] Don't run.
[00:53:34] You're out of Oz is dead and you see that the other, uh, that, um, the captain is bleeding
[00:53:40] pretty profusely.
[00:53:41] The fuck is that?
[00:53:42] What was that?
[00:53:43] What was that commercial?
[00:53:44] This is your brain and this is your brain on drugs.
[00:53:46] Oh yeah.
[00:53:46] Where the lady's frying the egg.
[00:53:48] Flynn.
[00:53:50] Fuck it.
[00:53:51] I'm glad I shot somebody.
[00:53:53] Ooh.
[00:53:54] 26 hit.
[00:53:55] That does hit.
[00:53:57] That is six damage.
[00:54:04] Okay.
[00:54:06] And the other claw.
[00:54:08] That is 21.
[00:54:10] Yep.
[00:54:14] That is seven damage.
[00:54:16] He drops.
[00:54:19] Um, the room, the room grumbles again and you see that the, the floor begins to crumble beneath
[00:54:25] you and the walls begin to crack further as beams begin to drop from above you.
[00:54:34] Yep.
[00:54:34] Everybody roll me deck saves again.
[00:54:37] Danger sense.
[00:54:38] Sure.
[00:54:39] 25.
[00:54:41] I almost did better than Flynn.
[00:54:43] 22.
[00:54:44] Helps when you can roll 2d20s and take the better one.
[00:54:47] 16.
[00:54:48] 15.
[00:54:51] You all are good.
[00:54:52] You, you dodge about a little bit as beams drop down around you.
[00:54:58] Um, you've got a couple of exits from this room.
[00:55:00] Um, don't forget to loot the corpses.
[00:55:02] Anything on Ryback's corpse?
[00:55:06] Uh, he's got a plus one long sword.
[00:55:08] Ooh.
[00:55:09] That's it.
[00:55:10] I'm going to sprint, uh, out the north exit towards the kitchen.
[00:55:17] Okay.
[00:55:18] I'm gonna hang a left.
[00:55:20] I'm double moving whenever you allow me to do that.
[00:55:24] Yeah.
[00:55:24] I mean, you would probably get into the kitchen and maybe just out the, you're going into the
[00:55:28] kitchen or into that room between.
[00:55:29] I'm going into the room between it.
[00:55:31] All right.
[00:55:31] So you can basically get in there and then open that door.
[00:55:33] So you are seeing the Western, the Western corridor.
[00:55:37] I don't know what you're doing, but I'm, I have something in mind, but I will go in turn
[00:55:41] order if that's what I need to do.
[00:55:42] I've seen this so many times, but it just makes me laugh every time.
[00:55:45] Um, Troy, loot of the body.
[00:55:47] Uh, Alex, what are you doing?
[00:55:49] Actually, I would be running if I could, which would give me even more movement.
[00:55:54] Does the steward have anything?
[00:55:56] Uh, he's got a, no, the, the empty flask was already thrown on the ground.
[00:55:59] He's got nothing else on him.
[00:56:02] Damn.
[00:56:02] I thought he'd have money.
[00:56:05] Um, that case, which room, which exit am I closest to since I followed?
[00:56:11] Uh, he was headed south.
[00:56:12] So you're at the south door.
[00:56:13] The big door.
[00:56:14] The main door.
[00:56:15] Like the main, yeah.
[00:56:16] The main door towards the entrance of the actual palace.
[00:56:18] Where's the warlock at this point?
[00:56:21] Warlock?
[00:56:23] Um.
[00:56:24] Wizard.
[00:56:25] The mayor.
[00:56:27] The magic user.
[00:56:28] He's dead.
[00:56:28] I get that.
[00:56:30] Where is he at the moment?
[00:56:32] Uh.
[00:56:33] In relation to me.
[00:56:35] If you're facing inside the, the main hall, he's to your right up against a wall.
[00:56:39] I exit the room.
[00:56:41] Okay.
[00:56:42] Uh, Flynn.
[00:56:43] Where's the king?
[00:56:45] Standing right next to you.
[00:56:46] Um, blabbergasted.
[00:56:48] So I see the ghoul run off to the kitchens.
[00:56:52] Um, has, have most people cleared out?
[00:56:55] Yeah.
[00:56:56] Okay.
[00:56:56] Basically everyone is out of this room at this point.
[00:56:58] You hear a voice.
[00:57:02] Okay.
[00:57:02] It's a familiar female feline voice telling you to run.
[00:57:07] Yeah.
[00:57:07] I'm just going to fuck off.
[00:57:09] Um, out the front doors.
[00:57:12] The ghoul has turned a corner toward into the western hallway.
[00:57:16] What are you looking for?
[00:57:16] What are you doing?
[00:57:17] Uh, I'm going to go in that first room.
[00:57:19] The arcanist room.
[00:57:20] Hmm.
[00:57:20] Oh, down into the arcanist room.
[00:57:22] Okay.
[00:57:22] Sure.
[00:57:23] I'm going to sprint into that bedroom.
[00:57:26] Uh, she is gone.
[00:57:28] Okay.
[00:57:28] I jump out the window.
[00:57:29] Okay.
[00:57:34] You, yeah.
[00:57:34] Okay.
[00:57:35] You go out the window.
[00:57:36] I mean, she seemed like fun.
[00:57:37] I don't want her dead.
[00:57:38] Fine.
[00:57:39] She's gone.
[00:57:39] She was drunk.
[00:57:40] She could be unconscious.
[00:57:41] You out the window.
[00:57:42] You're so noble.
[00:57:44] As I jump out, I, I'm like, in my mind, I'm thinking, I hope that guy in the basement
[00:57:49] makes it.
[00:57:51] The guard.
[00:57:52] I'm not worried about the guard.
[00:57:53] The guard is nameless.
[00:57:54] I'm talking about, uh, Thomas.
[00:57:56] Yeah.
[00:57:56] I'm pretty sure Thomas left the basement right after you did.
[00:57:58] Yeah.
[00:57:59] Uh, Troy.
[00:58:00] But I told him to stay there.
[00:58:01] Come out of here, man.
[00:58:02] Uh, so then everybody is exiting the building.
[00:58:05] I'm already outside.
[00:58:07] Cool.
[00:58:09] Um, the entire palace kind of trembles and shakes as dust cascades from roof beams and tapestries
[00:58:16] that tear off the wall.
[00:58:18] Everyone has basically left.
[00:58:19] No one is sure what's happening.
[00:58:21] And, um, they all, everyone, including yourselves have a scrambled for exits after this fight.
[00:58:28] Um, Captain Ray hack, Lord mayor, Victor Von Radovaz with an H.
[00:58:35] Um, and Stuart, the Stuart is dead.
[00:58:41] He was shifty.
[00:58:44] Uh, behind, uh, you all run out of the ballot, the palace.
[00:58:48] Uh, behind you, the palace cracks asunder as if split by a great maul.
[00:58:53] Fissures open up in the earth beneath it.
[00:58:56] And the central structure begins to crumble and subsides into a growing sinkhole, only to be forced up again by something pushing it from beneath.
[00:59:07] You all look back as a tremendous mound of flesh, green and sickly, mottled with patches of thick black hair emerges from the rubble.
[00:59:17] Two beady eyes blink open on its toad-like face, and a wide slavering maw gapes open below its flaring upturned nostrils.
[00:59:27] Amorphous winged lumps, fleshy monstrosities, and formless oozes flowing like black quicksilver burst out of the sinkhole beneath it, crawling over the ruined palace and spilling into the streets of the city.
[00:59:41] The colossal toad-like horror raises an apish arm above its head and drops a green-robed figure into its waiting mouth, and then looks around hungrily for its next meal.
[00:59:56] Rage.
[00:59:56] Thank you all for listening.
