Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos - The Big Sleep 25

Countless cultists file into the caverns. Strange crystals allow them to enter the Big Sleep for all eternity. But the party will have none of that. And the 3 ancient cult leaders were not enough to convince them with words.

The battle rages on as we continue The Big Sleep, an adventure in Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos.

Starring 

Cody as Cyrus, a Ghoul Barbarian

Flynn as Mr. Whimples, a Dreamlands Cat

Troy as Cassius, a Triton Paladin

Alex as Magnus, a Dragonborn Artificer

[00:00:16] Bancors Brothel presents The Big Sleep Umithos 5e Adventure.

[00:01:25] But that's okay.

[00:01:26] Speaking of blue, it's our turn.

[00:01:29] Now pink is dead though, so our barbarian is free!

[00:01:33] You suddenly feel real loose and loosey-goosey there bud.

[00:01:39] Have at him my friend.

[00:01:44] You held your action right?

[00:01:49] Technically no, because I rolled the save.

[00:01:51] Held his action for three whole turns, he's got lots of action stored up.

[00:01:55] That's right!

[00:01:57] I attack six fucking times, let's go!

[00:02:03] Takes one mighty paw and squishes green.

[00:02:07] She has lots of slots.

[00:02:10] That's a terrible thing to say about her.

[00:02:13] You see her cast something speaking a language none of you speak,

[00:02:18] because your cat's gone.

[00:02:20] And um...

[00:02:22] Fuck off!

[00:02:22] I have Acklo at 70 something.

[00:02:25] Oh, I forgot you did.

[00:02:26] Yeah!

[00:02:26] You took Acklo as well.

[00:02:27] What'd she say?

[00:02:30] Um...

[00:02:31] Something about the gaunt of the night and a nightgon appears right next to y'all.

[00:02:37] A what?

[00:02:40] Nightgon!

[00:02:40] Um...

[00:02:41] Uh...

[00:02:42] A Lovecraftian Uber.

[00:02:45] Oh...

[00:02:46] Nightgons are nasty.

[00:02:48] Oh, fuck off.

[00:02:51] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:52] Go away.

[00:02:52] In an empty space you can see...

[00:02:55] It appears.

[00:02:56] Two can play at that game.

[00:02:58] Sorry, it's a challenge rating 30.

[00:03:00] Oof.

[00:03:02] Ooh.

[00:03:04] Dimension door it and drop it from a really high...

[00:03:06] You run.

[00:03:08] Uh...

[00:03:09] Uh...

[00:03:10] It attacks...

[00:03:11] Makes five attacks every turn.

[00:03:13] It attacks Alex.

[00:03:14] Ouch.

[00:03:15] Not in this game.

[00:03:16] That looks like shit roll!

[00:03:18] It is a shit roll.

[00:03:19] That one missed.

[00:03:21] I can appreciate that.

[00:03:23] It's a level two creature, so I hope so.

[00:03:26] One attack!

[00:03:26] It swipes at you with a giant claw and misses.

[00:03:30] Yeah.

[00:03:32] Um...

[00:03:32] Nightgons.

[00:03:33] Oh!

[00:03:34] Yeah.

[00:03:35] In Lovecraftian Mythos, you can use them to ride to extra planar places.

[00:03:39] They kind of remind me of the, uh...

[00:03:42] Lightning Demons from Dark Souls 2.

[00:03:46] Yeah.

[00:03:46] Or, no, Dark Souls 1, sorry.

[00:03:48] The big old pale demons.

[00:03:51] Didn't we use them in...

[00:03:53] It was either Impossible Landscapes or maybe Slide the Handman?

[00:03:57] Mm...

[00:03:57] Or encounter them at least?

[00:03:58] There are a bunch of Byaki that you ran from and, uh, Tatters.

[00:04:04] Byaki and Nightgons are sort of similar, but Nightgons are like flying horse monsters and Byakis are more like...

[00:04:11] Gargoyles.

[00:04:12] Yeah.

[00:04:13] And I thought we encountered them in...

[00:04:15] It's possible. They take you to Dreamlands all the fucking time.

[00:04:17] Stop the order.

[00:04:17] They also can take you to, uh, Azathoth.

[00:04:20] Stop the order, the man in green.

[00:04:22] 14.

[00:04:24] Well, he's not hitting a sandbag anymore.

[00:04:28] He's at disadvantage.

[00:04:31] Um...

[00:04:31] Yes. Yes.

[00:04:35] You're correct.

[00:04:37] I know I'm correct.

[00:04:40] Natural 20 and a 14 on the die.

[00:04:43] I guess I take the 14, which is plus...

[00:04:46] What am I doing here?

[00:04:47] Longsword.

[00:04:48] That's still a modified 20 to hit.

[00:04:50] Yes, continue to hit me.

[00:04:52] Hey, I tried to help.

[00:04:53] Feel pleased with yourself.

[00:04:54] Hey, at least I wasn't an at 20.

[00:04:55] So, you know, I did that much.

[00:04:57] Oh, Jesus.

[00:04:58] And he can hit back now.

[00:05:00] That's, uh, five slashing to you.

[00:05:02] I'm sorry.

[00:05:03] It's two handed.

[00:05:04] It should be a d10.

[00:05:08] That's still...

[00:05:09] Oh, no.

[00:05:09] Uh, it's nine slashing.

[00:05:12] Uh, second attack.

[00:05:14] Will you hold on?

[00:05:16] I have to redo my whole...

[00:05:18] Fuck.

[00:05:19] Roll both die.

[00:05:20] Nine.

[00:05:21] I'm just gonna take a guess at what my sheet was because I was in the middle of updating

[00:05:24] it and now it says I was at two.

[00:05:26] I was not at two.

[00:05:26] I feel like I'm probably close to accurate.

[00:05:29] I'm within two or three hit points of where I should be.

[00:05:31] Okay.

[00:05:31] Second attack misses.

[00:05:34] Um...

[00:05:35] No, I'm probably one or two lower.

[00:05:36] As a bonus action, he can disengage.

[00:05:40] Fucking dumb.

[00:05:42] Um, so he backs away from you.

[00:05:46] And that is his action.

[00:05:48] That guy is dead, so it's on Troy.

[00:05:51] We need to eliminate targets.

[00:05:53] Well, I'm gonna keep it.

[00:05:55] Go...

[00:05:55] Well, I can tell you what I think you should do.

[00:05:58] Probably this one.

[00:05:58] Yeah.

[00:06:00] We need to eliminate targets and that's probably the second most squishy thing on the table.

[00:06:05] So, does a 17 hit?

[00:06:08] I hope it hits a wizard.

[00:06:09] It's for a game of numbers.

[00:06:12] You just hit.

[00:06:15] If it were a game of numbers, doesn't tell us whether or not we hit.

[00:06:18] Yeah.

[00:06:19] Well...

[00:06:20] You have to finish your state.

[00:06:21] The round...

[00:06:22] There was a whole round she didn't act.

[00:06:24] That entire round she cast a spell.

[00:06:26] So I am going to use my Divine Smite.

[00:06:30] You said they're...

[00:06:32] Are they a fiend?

[00:06:35] Nope.

[00:06:36] They're all just humanoid humans.

[00:06:38] Good old humanoid humans.

[00:06:40] No undead here, just really old.

[00:06:43] 18.

[00:06:43] Should have died a long time ago.

[00:06:45] 18 damage.

[00:06:46] 18 damage.

[00:06:48] Shoving that sword right up her ass.

[00:06:51] Um...

[00:06:51] Five of that being Radiant.

[00:06:53] Don't forget your plus ones if you're using that sword.

[00:06:55] Good for you.

[00:06:56] 18 damage.

[00:06:58] Uh...

[00:06:59] It was all magical as well.

[00:07:01] No, it hit.

[00:07:02] You're good.

[00:07:03] I gotcha.

[00:07:05] No vulnerabilities here, so it doesn't make a difference.

[00:07:07] But I appreciate you.

[00:07:08] Nope.

[00:07:09] Okay.

[00:07:09] I'm done.

[00:07:11] Okay.

[00:07:13] Uh...

[00:07:15] Cody.

[00:07:15] Who summoned the Byaki?

[00:07:17] She did.

[00:07:17] Did she lose control over it when she takes damage?

[00:07:20] No.

[00:07:21] It's not a concentration spell.

[00:07:22] It is just...

[00:07:23] I know, but...

[00:07:24] I'm just curious.

[00:07:25] I'm just curious.

[00:07:26] Because usually Byaki are like...

[00:07:27] It's not at well.

[00:07:27] ... summoned controlled creature.

[00:07:29] Or...

[00:07:29] Niigons are summoned controlled creatures.

[00:07:31] So I'm just curious if anything happens if she takes damage or if...

[00:07:37] Uh...

[00:07:37] Sorry, it is concentration.

[00:07:38] My apologies.

[00:07:39] So it is concentration.

[00:07:41] So she would take a concentration.

[00:07:43] How much damage did you do?

[00:07:45] 18.

[00:07:46] Okay.

[00:07:46] DC 10.

[00:07:47] Concentration check.

[00:07:48] You see he's concentrating.

[00:07:49] 18.

[00:07:51] The spell does not end immediately but lasts one hour after the Nightgon appeared.

[00:07:55] Nightgon is hostile to all creatures.

[00:07:57] So no, it's just there.

[00:07:58] She lost control.

[00:07:59] That's what I'm saying.

[00:08:00] It could now...

[00:08:01] It could literally do the fuck you wizard if it wants.

[00:08:04] Like it could go after the wizard.

[00:08:05] Yeah, it could.

[00:08:05] She no longer has control over it.

[00:08:07] There's enough people on the board that I can roll a die to see who it goes after.

[00:08:10] I don't care.

[00:08:11] It's just that's...

[00:08:12] The Nightgon is a summoned creature.

[00:08:14] It'll go on her initiative.

[00:08:15] It's at this anyway.

[00:08:16] Um...

[00:08:17] But it is your turn.

[00:08:18] Uh...

[00:08:19] Hey, look at that.

[00:08:20] You're in the game.

[00:08:22] Uh...

[00:08:22] Killing the Nightgon.

[00:08:23] Hey, look at that.

[00:08:24] It's got a lot of fucking hit points but we'll go for it.

[00:08:29] Uh, that 24 is probably a good start.

[00:08:31] Nope.

[00:08:34] You can say it all you want but I know it hit.

[00:08:36] It's a challenge rating 2.

[00:08:38] It doesn't have that many hit points.

[00:08:39] Clutches.

[00:08:40] Faceless.

[00:08:41] Pack tactics.

[00:08:43] 14 damage.

[00:08:45] Nicely done.

[00:08:46] I guess I should add the Nightgon to the actual thing.

[00:08:50] That's what a DM should do, yeah.

[00:08:52] 14 damage.

[00:08:53] Eh?

[00:08:53] Else?

[00:08:55] Uh...

[00:08:56] Nope.

[00:08:56] That's my bonus action and my regular action and I am not moving.

[00:09:02] I'm going to say earlier, don't forget your second wind.

[00:09:05] If needed.

[00:09:07] Yeah, it's about to say.

[00:09:07] Second wind is healing.

[00:09:08] I'm just saying.

[00:09:09] Second wind is healing.

[00:09:11] I know, I know.

[00:09:12] Okay.

[00:09:13] He knows that I am.

[00:09:14] I always confused it with the...

[00:09:17] Whatever the other one that gets you off.

[00:09:18] No, because I was just looking at fighter and I'm like, oh, that doesn't...

[00:09:20] That phrase hasn't been said a lot so I just want to make sure.

[00:09:23] I mean, he doesn't take a lot of damage.

[00:09:26] I mean, he took a lot of damage this time because he hadn't raged for three rounds.

[00:09:29] Oh no, the last three fights you've done more than half my hit points of damage.

[00:09:33] I've taken a significant amount but not to the point where I'm worried about taking second wind.

[00:09:36] That's fair.

[00:09:37] Uh, Alex.

[00:09:39] Firing at blue.

[00:09:41] Firing at blue?

[00:09:42] Yeah.

[00:09:43] It's a good call.

[00:09:46] That one is 21.

[00:09:49] Uh, first was 17, second one is 21.

[00:09:54] So...

[00:09:54] They both hit.

[00:09:55] You only get one damage roll.

[00:09:57] Okay.

[00:09:58] I know you were hounding me about that earlier so I want to make sure I keep that in there now.

[00:10:03] If you get on that 20 it's better for you.

[00:10:04] So rolling two die is better for you.

[00:10:06] It's what the advantage is for.

[00:10:07] I appreciate that.

[00:10:08] Yeah.

[00:10:09] He doesn't need it.

[00:10:10] He just calculated the damage.

[00:10:12] Okay.

[00:10:13] Shoot it in his stupid face!

[00:10:15] Bolt!

[00:10:18] Okay.

[00:10:19] That wasn't as good as before.

[00:10:20] Um, so...

[00:10:22] Six total.

[00:10:23] Okay.

[00:10:23] With the hunter's mark.

[00:10:24] Shit, with the hunter's mark you did six?

[00:10:27] God damn.

[00:10:27] First one was one plus one plus four.

[00:10:31] Amunculus going after the same thing?

[00:10:33] What?

[00:10:33] It's a magic...

[00:10:34] Fuck!

[00:10:35] You rolled like shit!

[00:10:36] Yeah.

[00:10:37] I didn't roll like shit, but...

[00:10:38] Amunculus going after the same thing?

[00:10:39] I did hit hard.

[00:10:40] No.

[00:10:41] I am going to use misty step to get away from the angry demonic monstrosity.

[00:10:46] So, Troy, what'd have put you?

[00:10:48] Uh, 30 feet.

[00:10:49] It's pretty good.

[00:10:49] Put me in the middle of the map.

[00:10:51] That's fine.

[00:10:52] It's a choice.

[00:10:55] Perfect.

[00:10:56] Eh, back to where I was.

[00:10:58] Uh, it's not horrible for you to do that.

[00:10:59] I mean, you gotta find more feet, so...

[00:11:01] Eh, put me towards the pink corpse.

[00:11:03] Let's do it.

[00:11:03] Cool.

[00:11:04] That way it's easier to...

[00:11:05] Loot that fire.

[00:11:06] Loot that fire at everybody.

[00:11:08] Um...

[00:11:08] Maybe I can pick his staff up while I'm in the middle.

[00:11:10] ...the things on the end of this show.

[00:11:12] Uh, buh-buh-buh-buh.

[00:11:14] So...

[00:11:14] That's you.

[00:11:15] Nightgaunt.

[00:11:16] He's gonna attack the one thing that attacked him.

[00:11:18] Gets advantage.

[00:11:19] Yes, thank you.

[00:11:21] Not with that roll.

[00:11:22] Not with that roll.

[00:11:23] Both of them are single digits.

[00:11:24] I just like...

[00:11:25] Slash, slash.

[00:11:26] Cyrus is just like foaming at the mouth.

[00:11:29] Now that he can dodge, he's like fucking Neo, just...

[00:11:32] Brrrr, brrrr.

[00:11:36] Um...

[00:11:36] Roll me a constitution saving throw.

[00:11:40] Cuss.

[00:11:43] Fear effect?

[00:11:44] Nope.

[00:11:46] Why?

[00:11:47] Because she gets to cast spells.

[00:11:49] It's what she does.

[00:11:51] She attacks...

[00:11:51] She's attacking you.

[00:11:52] She attacks and casts spells?

[00:11:54] She didn't attack anything, she's casting a spell.

[00:11:56] The Nightgaunt cast a spell.

[00:11:58] The Nightgaunt's on its own now.

[00:11:58] Oh, no, I don't understand who's doing what.

[00:12:01] The Nightgaunt just attacked you and missed.

[00:12:02] It's her turn.

[00:12:03] Okay, now I'm following.

[00:12:05] I'm following.

[00:12:06] You did not let me...

[00:12:07] I do not understand that it is a new person's turn.

[00:12:10] Sorry.

[00:12:10] Con saving throw.

[00:12:12] Lucas really has it out for me.

[00:12:15] That sucks.

[00:12:16] Go ahead.

[00:12:18] You are now a small creature, you shrink.

[00:12:21] Hey guys!

[00:12:22] This is a spell called shrivel.

[00:12:23] This is out of the Sandy Peterson's book itself.

[00:12:27] You cause a creature to suddenly shrink,

[00:12:28] although anything it is wearing or carrying is not affected.

[00:12:33] Uh...

[00:12:33] So now we have a tiny naked ghoul running around?

[00:12:36] Pretty much, yeah.

[00:12:38] Uh, con saving throw.

[00:12:40] Uh, on a failed save, the target size is halved in all dimensions,

[00:12:44] and its weight is reduced to one eighth of normal.

[00:12:46] This reduction decreases its size by one category,

[00:12:49] from medium to small, for example.

[00:12:50] Until the spell ends, the target also has a disadvantage on strength checks,

[00:12:55] strength saving throws, and strength based attack rolls.

[00:12:58] The shriveled creature's speed is halved,

[00:13:01] and it has disadvantage on all attack rolls and dexterity checks due to tangling in its clothing or armor,

[00:13:09] until they are removed, at which point it regains its normal speed.

[00:13:12] The creature's carrying capacity is reduced to half.

[00:13:15] If you maintain concentration on this spell, which I do,

[00:13:19] for a full ten minutes, the duration becomes permanent.

[00:13:22] Which I doubt that's gonna happen, but...

[00:13:24] No, this combat is not gonna last 600 rounds.

[00:13:26] Um, and the spell's effects last until dispelled.

[00:13:29] So...

[00:13:29] Do I, do my...

[00:13:30] You got disadvantage on attack rolls,

[00:13:33] because those are strength based.

[00:13:34] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:13:34] I'm really, I'm really only concerned about one thing.

[00:13:37] Would you like me to reread it?

[00:13:38] No, just, where's my gear?

[00:13:40] It said my armor was, are my weapons also similar to...

[00:13:43] Yes, everything you are carrying stays its original size.

[00:13:46] Okay.

[00:13:46] So javelins are massive to you now.

[00:13:48] They're not massive.

[00:13:49] Well, they're larger than they were.

[00:13:51] Right, but that's what I'm saying.

[00:13:52] Small creatures can use medium-sized weapons.

[00:13:55] You just have to sit here and think about it.

[00:13:57] So now instead of javelins, he has lances.

[00:14:01] Yes.

[00:14:02] The main weapons are his.

[00:14:05] So...

[00:14:05] Go ahead.

[00:14:06] No.

[00:14:09] So do the javelins now count as lightning lances?

[00:14:13] It's lightning lines.

[00:14:15] Little toothpicks.

[00:14:16] No.

[00:14:17] No, they're full size.

[00:14:18] They're big.

[00:14:20] I thought that was a fun spell.

[00:14:21] So I thought I should use it.

[00:14:24] That's like about 400% better than I expected when you cast shriveling.

[00:14:30] Because shriveling in Call of Cthulhu does not work like that.

[00:14:33] Yeah, this is the Sandy Peterson version of shriveling.

[00:14:36] Shriveling in Call of Cthulhu permanently disfigures one of your limbs.

[00:14:39] And if it's your head, you immediately die.

[00:14:41] It's not shriveling.

[00:14:42] It's just shrivel.

[00:14:43] Right.

[00:14:44] But what I'm saying is the last game that this man wrote about shriveling is horrific.

[00:14:50] It's not good.

[00:14:52] It's not good.

[00:14:52] But that is her turn.

[00:14:54] Huh?

[00:14:55] That is her turn.

[00:14:56] So top of the order goes back to the man in green on our...

[00:15:00] He's actually wearing a green cloak in the book in fairness.

[00:15:02] He will approach Alex and swing that sword.

[00:15:08] Disadvantage.

[00:15:09] Twice.

[00:15:10] How long does that last?

[00:15:11] Forever.

[00:15:13] It's like 10 minutes.

[00:15:14] Okay.

[00:15:15] I couldn't remember what you said.

[00:15:18] I mean, I didn't say...

[00:15:19] I didn't give you a straight answer the first time, but it...

[00:15:21] Am I supposed to make a save on my turn for that or no?

[00:15:26] Uh...

[00:15:26] Because I didn't do that last round.

[00:15:30] Oh!

[00:15:31] You should have...

[00:15:33] Wait a minute, Han.

[00:15:34] You must make a wisdom saving throw.

[00:15:39] Attempts to move.

[00:15:40] Yeah.

[00:15:41] Well, you...

[00:15:42] I disengaged.

[00:15:44] He hasn't...

[00:15:44] He hasn't...

[00:15:44] He moved towards you.

[00:15:46] He's not broken the movement.

[00:15:48] I haven't been paying attention.

[00:15:50] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:15:51] It wasn't more than 30 feet from me.

[00:15:53] So...

[00:15:53] But do I make a save at the end of my turn that I didn't do, that I should've?

[00:15:58] No.

[00:15:59] Because I don't think you do.

[00:16:01] No.

[00:16:01] So I'm just stuck with it until I'm dead, basically.

[00:16:04] Yeah.

[00:16:06] Disadvantage, right?

[00:16:06] Yeah.

[00:16:06] Cast another constant spell.

[00:16:08] Right.

[00:16:09] Which I might be doing.

[00:16:09] Fail on that one.

[00:16:13] Hmm.

[00:16:16] Does a...

[00:16:19] Yeah, that's over 20 hits you.

[00:16:22] I rolled a 16 and a 14.

[00:16:24] I'm fucking real.

[00:16:26] It's a plus six, bud.

[00:16:27] So a 20 even.

[00:16:28] Why even ask?

[00:16:30] Why bother asking?

[00:16:31] Sorry, I know I keep doing that.

[00:16:33] Well, I mean...

[00:16:34] I don't get access to any good armor in this game.

[00:16:37] A 20, you know...

[00:16:39] 14 slashy.

[00:16:40] Before would not have hit me.

[00:16:41] And he will stay...

[00:16:42] He'll stay raised up.

[00:16:44] Then it goes to, I believe, Troy, right?

[00:16:46] Yep.

[00:16:47] Yeah.

[00:16:49] How...

[00:16:49] bad off does she look?

[00:16:52] Um...

[00:16:52] I mean, she's bleeding.

[00:16:56] Fucking why not?

[00:16:59] I'm going to bonus action cast...

[00:17:02] You begin casting?

[00:17:04] Huh?

[00:17:04] You begin casting?

[00:17:07] What?

[00:17:07] So you begin casting a spell?

[00:17:09] Yeah.

[00:17:10] Uh, cool.

[00:17:14] Searing Smite...

[00:17:15] I get to cast on you.

[00:17:16] As a reaction when...

[00:17:18] an enemy begins casting a spell...

[00:17:20] Lady Malbatris casts a cantrip against the target.

[00:17:23] Now we're winning.

[00:17:24] You don't look happy.

[00:17:25] I'm waiting for you to fucking do something.

[00:17:29] He's casting Chill Touch.

[00:17:30] I'm casting Chill Touch.

[00:17:31] I just don't have it in front of me, so I can't have him look him up.

[00:17:38] Missed.

[00:17:44] Does a 15 hit.

[00:17:46] It does.

[00:17:47] Oh, wait, no.

[00:17:48] With her armor?

[00:17:49] No, it does not.

[00:17:49] Sorry.

[00:17:50] I'm going to...

[00:17:53] Channel Divinity.

[00:17:55] You get the idea that that amulet is putting off some sort of special aura around her.

[00:18:01] Does an 18 hit?

[00:18:02] It does.

[00:18:04] Cool.

[00:18:04] Cool, cool, cool, cool.

[00:18:06] By the way, he's no longer disadvantaged.

[00:18:09] Cool.

[00:18:10] That's 11 slashing.

[00:18:14] That is...

[00:18:17] 2 fire.

[00:18:19] And I'm going to just go ahead and throw Divine Smite on top of that.

[00:18:24] Yeah, why not?

[00:18:24] Can you do all that in one run?

[00:18:26] Yeah.

[00:18:27] Divine Smite, I just expel a spell slot.

[00:18:30] It's not a...

[00:18:32] But Smite, he just hits something.

[00:18:33] Yeah.

[00:18:34] When he hits something, he just...

[00:18:35] It's not melee based.

[00:18:36] But it's another 10 radiant.

[00:18:37] Uh, she drops.

[00:18:39] She drops.

[00:18:41] So you got one man standing, and it is Cody's turn, and I believe that spell was concentration,

[00:18:48] so you might grow back naked.

[00:18:52] Uh, hang on.

[00:18:53] I don't wear armor, so...

[00:18:55] Well, you had at least a loincloth, huh?

[00:18:57] Um, one would assume...

[00:18:58] Nope.

[00:18:59] One would assume incorrectly...

[00:19:01] He's been walking around...

[00:19:03] Cyrus is hanging furry dog dick everywhere he goes.

[00:19:09] Troy, would you knock over Blue so he doesn't think she's still alive later?

[00:19:14] Okay.

[00:19:16] Just for our peace of mind.

[00:19:19] Hmm.

[00:19:20] Well, it is a concentration spell, so I assume that you are able to grow back.

[00:19:24] It doesn't specify that you do when I drop, but I assume that's the case since it's concentration.

[00:19:28] Well, you're no longer concentrating on it, so what happens when the spell ends?

[00:19:31] Yeah.

[00:19:32] Usually it says what happens.

[00:19:33] Go ahead.

[00:19:34] I would presume that when the spell ends, I grow back.

[00:19:37] Unless it says something different about when the spell ends.

[00:19:38] You got a Night Gaunt and, uh...

[00:19:41] And that dude.

[00:19:42] A rogue Night Gaunt.

[00:19:43] A reckless attack on the Night Gaunt, cause he's right there.

[00:19:46] I'll do it.

[00:19:48] I rolled a 23.

[00:19:50] That will hit.

[00:19:53] That's another 14 damage.

[00:19:56] I attack again.

[00:19:58] Okay.

[00:20:00] Almost a crit.

[00:20:01] That's 25.

[00:20:02] Okay.

[00:20:04] Racking it up.

[00:20:07] Another four damage.

[00:20:09] He's making up for...

[00:20:10] 30 some damage already.

[00:20:11] You are making up for lost time.

[00:20:12] Yep.

[00:20:12] He's...

[00:20:13] What barbarians do.

[00:20:14] Still quite alive.

[00:20:16] I spit in his face.

[00:20:18] Okay.

[00:20:20] Um...

[00:20:21] Alex.

[00:20:22] Bonus step, Misty.

[00:20:25] Bonus action, Misty Step.

[00:20:28] Getting away from that guy.

[00:20:29] Are you only using that from your Fae Touched?

[00:20:30] Hmm?

[00:20:31] Are you only using that from your Fae Touched?

[00:20:33] No, I'm not using the special ability.

[00:20:35] I'm using a spell slot to use it.

[00:20:37] Okay.

[00:20:37] So I'm burnt through.

[00:20:39] How many slots you got left?

[00:20:39] Uh, two at my level for now.

[00:20:43] So...

[00:20:43] Does the Fae Touch burn a slot as well?

[00:20:45] Uh, no.

[00:20:46] If I use the special ability, I just can't use it as Fae Touched ability.

[00:20:50] Yeah.

[00:20:51] Gotcha.

[00:20:51] So...

[00:20:52] Yeah.

[00:20:52] Just 30 straight away from that guy.

[00:20:55] Perfect.

[00:20:56] Cool.

[00:20:58] You're good.

[00:20:59] Alright.

[00:20:59] I'd be curious to see that channel divinity.

[00:21:01] And now we're gonna open fire on green.

[00:21:04] Curious how it's worded.

[00:21:06] Unnatural 20.

[00:21:07] Nice.

[00:21:08] Nice.

[00:21:09] Shoot him in the face.

[00:21:12] At this point, he has taken no damage.

[00:21:14] So...

[00:21:14] Yeah.

[00:21:14] There is that.

[00:21:16] We can surround him like Shaun of the Dead and just beat him with cricket bats at this point.

[00:21:20] Good for you.

[00:21:21] And...

[00:21:21] That's the plan.

[00:21:22] There is...

[00:21:25] 10.

[00:21:26] Okay.

[00:21:27] I did not move my Hunter's Mark because I missed he stepped away, so...

[00:21:30] I'll have to get that reapplied next round.

[00:21:33] Uh, do you have to recast that since you didn't move it?

[00:21:36] He would need to, yeah.

[00:21:37] I will.

[00:21:37] Well, that's what I'm saying.

[00:21:39] Next round, I'll have to worry about that.

[00:21:41] That's a problem for future me.

[00:21:46] Okay.

[00:21:48] Um...

[00:21:49] Night Gaunt will just keep attacking the guy that's attacking him.

[00:21:53] Night advantage, you at Reckless?

[00:21:54] Yep.

[00:21:54] I'll do it faster than you will.

[00:21:57] That's for sure.

[00:21:58] That's a natural 20 on that one, but it's...

[00:22:00] Is it disadvantage?

[00:22:01] No, it's advantage, right?

[00:22:02] Yeah.

[00:22:03] Nat 20 on that one.

[00:22:04] What are his shindigs?

[00:22:09] Um...

[00:22:12] Jeez, it's trash damage.

[00:22:13] It's their D4s.

[00:22:14] He's a...

[00:22:15] He's a goddamn CR2 creature.

[00:22:17] Like, I'm surprised 30 damage hadn't killed him yet.

[00:22:21] Um...

[00:22:21] It is 10 slashing damage, and you are grappled.

[00:22:26] That's a fucking mistake.

[00:22:28] Let me...

[00:22:29] Let me go ahead and talk about the other things that are two.

[00:22:32] A bandit captain.

[00:22:33] A bandit captain.

[00:22:34] A basic druid.

[00:22:36] A gargoyle.

[00:22:37] A mimic.

[00:22:40] Two is not much.

[00:22:41] A rug of smothering.

[00:22:42] A will-o'-the-wisp.

[00:22:43] 10 damage, which is actually 5 damage, and he's grappled.

[00:22:47] You are grappled.

[00:22:52] I'm not locked in here with you.

[00:22:54] You got no shit.

[00:22:55] You made a choice, bro.

[00:22:57] I am no longer at disadvantage.

[00:22:59] Correct?

[00:23:01] Yeah.

[00:23:01] He dropped it to smite.

[00:23:03] Which is not a bad idea.

[00:23:05] 23 hit?

[00:23:06] With your extra armor?

[00:23:08] I didn't know.

[00:23:08] I suppose that's true with your shield of faith, Troy.

[00:23:11] 23 hit with your shield of faith?

[00:23:13] Oh.

[00:23:13] Yes.

[00:23:14] Okay.

[00:23:14] 23 would have hit without it.

[00:23:16] Or with it.

[00:23:16] Didn't know.

[00:23:17] Does he auto grapple, or does he make a grapple?

[00:23:19] It's auto grapple.

[00:23:20] Okay.

[00:23:21] That is 11 slashing damage.

[00:23:27] Second attack...

[00:23:28] Is going to miss.

[00:23:32] It is on you, Troy.

[00:23:33] He's up in your grill.

[00:23:36] Stab that man!

[00:23:38] He bloodied.

[00:23:40] He has only been dealt 10 hit points this weekend.

[00:23:45] Well, shizem.

[00:23:47] So like, he's been cut.

[00:23:49] Shotgun blast from the distance of the room.

[00:23:51] Spreadshot?

[00:23:53] The divine smite.

[00:23:54] Spreadshot?

[00:23:55] What are you shooting?

[00:23:56] Rifle.

[00:23:57] Birdshot?

[00:23:58] Magic bullets.

[00:23:59] What the hell is my dying?

[00:24:03] Do-do-do-do-do-do.

[00:24:05] It sucks to roll like that.

[00:24:06] Is that like the fifth one you rolled?

[00:24:08] It's not a one, that's a seven actually.

[00:24:09] But it like...

[00:24:10] I haven't rolled a double digit.

[00:24:13] Thankfully these ACs have been low.

[00:24:15] I haven't rolled double digit in an attack in I don't know how long.

[00:24:19] But does...

[00:24:20] Like another option?

[00:24:22] Welcome to my world, Troy.

[00:24:25] Um...

[00:24:25] Their ACs aren't super high.

[00:24:27] Because they're fucking wizards.

[00:24:28] 14 hit.

[00:24:30] They're fucking wizards.

[00:24:31] No, there's a 15 hit.

[00:24:34] Wizards of Bowcrime.

[00:24:35] There's a 16.

[00:24:36] No.

[00:24:38] You want to channel the vanity and add a d6 or you added those?

[00:24:42] Huh?

[00:24:43] I can only do channel vanity once.

[00:24:45] So that then is a miss.

[00:24:47] Do you have a bonus action you want to try?

[00:24:49] You're going to be taking the bread of his attacks at this point, so I guess it depends on what your AC is.

[00:24:52] Yeah.

[00:24:53] Because apparently I'm going to be in a fight with this CR 2800 HP monster for a minute.

[00:24:59] You've dealt about half of its damage.

[00:25:01] It has a lot.

[00:25:01] Yeah, I'm going to put my shield back up.

[00:25:04] Shield is up.

[00:25:06] Um...

[00:25:07] I don't want to, but...

[00:25:08] Cody, you can attack the nightgong if you want to continue to attack the nightgong.

[00:25:11] Yeah.

[00:25:11] All it's doing is holding on to me.

[00:25:13] I'm going to not fight it and continue to push my...

[00:25:16] Definitely holding you.

[00:25:17] Push it shit in.

[00:25:20] And once it tries to fly away with me, I'll continue to attack it.

[00:25:24] Uh...

[00:25:25] Attacking recklessly.

[00:25:29] That's a 17.

[00:25:31] That hits.

[00:25:32] I don't remember.

[00:25:33] Is there disadvantage in grapple?

[00:25:34] Nope, I don't think so.

[00:25:35] There's not.

[00:25:35] Nope.

[00:25:36] That hits.

[00:25:36] Why would you be?

[00:25:38] Uh...

[00:25:39] I always confuse grapple and restraint.

[00:25:41] Shit damage.

[00:25:42] Shit damage.

[00:25:43] Like, you would think it should, but it doesn't.

[00:25:47] Like...

[00:25:48] No, the thing about grappling is that you can move your opponent.

[00:25:51] Yeah.

[00:25:51] So the reason why this thing grapples is because nightgongs often, like, yank people into the air and fucking yeet them.

[00:25:58] Um...

[00:25:59] Lovecraft's major nightgong-focused story, where the nightgong is the focus of the story, is it's like a sort of...

[00:26:06] ...murder mystery thing, where, like, people are, like, crushed from high heights, but in the middle of fucking nowhere.

[00:26:11] Because, like, somebody has got...

[00:26:12] Nightgaunts are summoned by, like, a flute.

[00:26:15] And it, like...

[00:26:16] It's...

[00:26:17] Somebody's, like, killing their fucking neighbors or something.

[00:26:19] I'm pretty sure that's a Lovecraft story.

[00:26:21] Maybe one of the others.

[00:26:22] Uh...

[00:26:22] Second attack is a crit 20.

[00:26:24] Well done.

[00:26:24] Creatures being summoned by flutes.

[00:26:26] Un...

[00:26:27] Savage attack.

[00:26:28] Deh.

[00:26:29] Trois.

[00:26:30] Don't roll shit.

[00:26:31] 3d8.

[00:26:35] 17 more damage.

[00:26:37] Okay.

[00:26:37] Doing an average of almost 20 damage per turn or more against it.

[00:26:40] Yeah.

[00:26:41] Come at me, bro.

[00:26:44] Launch into the sky.

[00:26:45] I'll take you down.

[00:26:46] I don't give a fuck.

[00:26:47] I like the idea that it could grapple me with its hands and fly into the air, and I just keep punching through its sternum, trying to find its soft inner chewy bits.

[00:26:55] I mean, it's...

[00:26:55] You're definitely making it bleed.

[00:26:57] Oh, yeah.

[00:26:57] No, no, no.

[00:26:59] Um...

[00:27:00] Again, I am...

[00:27:01] Alex's turn.

[00:27:01] You got two targets.

[00:27:03] Um...

[00:27:03] Well, I am going to use a bonus action to use one of my last two spell slots to apply Hunter's Mark to green again.

[00:27:09] Okay.

[00:27:09] Keep that thing going.

[00:27:11] And I'm gonna fire on it.

[00:27:13] Do it.

[00:27:14] Shoot him in the face!

[00:27:15] I'm gonna kill two to 20s this time.

[00:27:18] 17 and 24.

[00:27:20] Was that a nat 20 or no?

[00:27:22] No.

[00:27:22] No.

[00:27:23] They both hit, either way.

[00:27:25] That is...

[00:27:27] 4.

[00:27:28] And this is...

[00:27:31] 6.

[00:27:32] 10 total.

[00:27:33] 4, that's magic.

[00:27:34] 10 total?

[00:27:35] 10 total.

[00:27:36] 10 damage!

[00:27:38] Well, you dealt last time, I think.

[00:27:39] It's the only 10 damage he's had.

[00:27:42] And then Giza, 20 damage.

[00:27:44] Hooray!

[00:27:44] Hey!

[00:27:45] Hey!

[00:27:45] Keep on hitting him.

[00:27:46] I'm gonna keep hitting him.

[00:27:48] I got...

[00:27:49] I got animals to feed this evening.

[00:27:52] Uh, the knight gaunt attacks.

[00:27:54] He said reckless, right?

[00:27:58] It's got me grappled.

[00:27:59] I'm assuming it was gonna do something.

[00:28:02] He still gets to attack you.

[00:28:04] Yeah, but...

[00:28:04] Whether you grapple or not, he can still attack you.

[00:28:06] Yeah, nevermind.

[00:28:07] I got a bonus action when you're grappled, but I'm gonna attack you first.

[00:28:11] Okay.

[00:28:12] Um...

[00:28:13] Sorry, that's a 19 on the die, plus some numbers probably hits you right.

[00:28:19] Uh...

[00:28:19] Yeah.

[00:28:21] Will over 20.

[00:28:26] 8 slashing damage.

[00:28:30] As a bonus action, the knight gaunt...

[00:28:31] This is literally called tickle, by the way.

[00:28:34] As a bonus action, the knight gaunt can tickle a creature grappled by it with horrible efficiency.

[00:28:39] Oh, sweet.

[00:28:42] Uh...

[00:28:43] Uh...

[00:28:43] Cons saving throw, please.

[00:28:45] 7...

[00:28:45] No, sorry.

[00:28:46] 16.

[00:28:47] You succeed, sir.

[00:28:48] You stay awake.

[00:28:50] Tickle me, fuck off.

[00:28:51] It literally will leave you incapacitated for an entire turn if you fail.

[00:28:55] Yes, that's...

[00:28:55] Yeah, I get it.

[00:28:57] Um...

[00:28:58] I got you.

[00:28:58] She dead.

[00:29:01] Green not dead.

[00:29:02] Green...

[00:29:03] Sorry, do I have disadvantage again?

[00:29:04] Did you do that or no?

[00:29:05] No.

[00:29:06] He's shielded.

[00:29:07] I can't...

[00:29:09] That's a completely cracked die.

[00:29:13] 17 plus...

[00:29:14] God damn.

[00:29:16] 17...

[00:29:17] I think Luz has only missed about 4 times in 3 combats.

[00:29:20] 23?

[00:29:21] With your magical armor?

[00:29:22] Nope.

[00:29:24] What's the shield of faith add?

[00:29:26] 2.

[00:29:28] Only 2?

[00:29:29] Yeah.

[00:29:31] Is your armor...

[00:29:33] 12 slashing to you, sir.

[00:29:36] Oh, that was only one attack.

[00:29:38] Um...

[00:29:39] I lost that die, so I don't know what it is.

[00:29:41] That one's a fail.

[00:29:45] They're about to fail, by the way.

[00:29:48] So that's his two attacks that's on you, sir?

[00:29:51] Do do do do do do do do do.

[00:29:52] He is...

[00:29:56] Looking about...

[00:29:57] Halfway down.

[00:29:58] Hey!

[00:29:59] Double digits!

[00:30:00] Double digits!

[00:30:01] Motherfucker.

[00:30:02] That's gonna hit for sure.

[00:30:03] 3 over here.

[00:30:05] Uh...

[00:30:06] 10.

[00:30:07] Okay.

[00:30:07] Another 10 damage right to his face.

[00:30:10] Seems to be the average for the day.

[00:30:12] He's still standing.

[00:30:13] 30 hit points total so far.

[00:30:15] That's all I got.

[00:30:16] That's all I got.

[00:30:16] No bonuses.

[00:30:18] Um...

[00:30:18] Out of spells.

[00:30:19] Then it goes to Cody.

[00:30:20] Rage.

[00:30:22] Reckless attacking.

[00:30:23] Okay.

[00:30:23] Oh, I guess...

[00:30:24] No, that's a spell slot.

[00:30:25] Nevermind.

[00:30:27] That's a 20 to hit.

[00:30:29] Hits it.

[00:30:33] That's another 14 damage.

[00:30:36] It'll die eventually.

[00:30:38] He will die eventually.

[00:30:39] Second attack.

[00:30:40] He's not dead yet.

[00:30:42] Not dead yet.

[00:30:43] That's a 22 to hit.

[00:30:44] Still hits.

[00:30:46] That's another 7 points of damage.

[00:30:48] That's another 25 total.

[00:30:51] Please be dead.

[00:30:52] Nope.

[00:30:53] Not quite.

[00:30:55] That's a nasty CR2 though.

[00:30:56] Dangling on a thread he is.

[00:30:59] He gets to attack you again.

[00:31:02] Oh, sorry. No.

[00:31:02] Sorry, Alex's turn.

[00:31:03] Thank you.

[00:31:04] I don't want to skip you.

[00:31:04] My apologies.

[00:31:06] That's fine.

[00:31:06] You can do 10 more points of damage.

[00:31:09] I will just keep firing at him till he dies.

[00:31:11] Actually, you need more than 10 points of damage.

[00:31:14] If you can do more than 10 points of damage.

[00:31:15] That's why he's going to crit right now.

[00:31:18] The first one was 21 though.

[00:31:20] That does still hit.

[00:31:22] That's why he's going to roll a 12 and a 6 on this one.

[00:31:26] That's a 12.

[00:31:28] There we go.

[00:31:28] And this is going to be...

[00:31:31] A 6.

[00:31:32] Look at you go.

[00:31:33] 18.

[00:31:34] 18.

[00:31:34] That's enough to finally drop him.

[00:31:36] Shot him through the left lung.

[00:31:38] Troy, would you be kind enough to knock it over?

[00:31:41] No, bonus action.

[00:31:43] I'm shifting my hunter's mark over to the nightgon.

[00:31:45] No problem.

[00:31:46] Just in case I can't add extra damage.

[00:31:49] Nightgon gets to go again.

[00:31:50] Advantage because he's reckless, right?

[00:31:54] That's an 18 on the die.

[00:31:57] Which is going to hit you for 2d4.

[00:32:02] 3, 7.

[00:32:04] Yeah, 7 slashing.

[00:32:06] Give me another con saving throw.

[00:32:09] Nat 20.

[00:32:09] You are fine.

[00:32:13] Top of the order is Troy.

[00:32:14] There's just the nightgon left.

[00:32:15] He is by a thread.

[00:32:17] Like one hit will probably kill him to be honest.

[00:32:22] Uh...

[00:32:22] 19?

[00:32:23] Yep.

[00:32:25] He's literally got 2 hit points left.

[00:32:27] Well then...

[00:32:28] 78 hit points on that motherfucker.

[00:32:31] And the room goes silent.

[00:32:32] We did 76 of them.

[00:32:34] You did 76 hit points.

[00:32:36] In 3 turns.

[00:32:38] That's...

[00:32:39] Yeah.

[00:32:39] Uh...

[00:32:40] I did everything I could to literally shrink you, hold you, and hold you back.

[00:32:43] But...

[00:32:44] I am at 13 hit points out of 54.

[00:32:47] Wow.

[00:32:47] So close to finally knocking you down.

[00:32:48] Good luck.

[00:32:49] I'm pretty happy with that.

[00:32:50] That's a success for me.

[00:32:53] I...

[00:32:54] I would strongly disagree if you'd like me to know why I disagree.

[00:32:58] But that's fair.

[00:33:00] Um...

[00:33:02] You've got...

[00:33:03] Why do I disagree?

[00:33:06] Uh...

[00:33:06] Because the first thing...

[00:33:08] In my opinion...

[00:33:08] He started out the combat right by sending the fighter straight ahead and making the other lady invisible and holding me.

[00:33:13] Like, that's fucking brilliant.

[00:33:15] Because you've eliminated the tank.

[00:33:17] You've made her invisible so she can pot shot on her best point.

[00:33:20] And you've tried to put him in between us and the wizard to prevent exactly what you wanted to do.

[00:33:24] But the thing is, is that the...

[00:33:27] The greedy choice is to hit the thing and to hit me.

[00:33:30] But how many attacks did he take on me that would have hit him?

[00:33:35] That's a fair point.

[00:33:36] Like, don't get me wrong.

[00:33:37] He gets advantage.

[00:33:37] So if he can drop me...

[00:33:39] Quickly.

[00:33:40] Yeah.

[00:33:40] Yeah.

[00:33:40] So I don't...

[00:33:41] I don't disagree with the strategy.

[00:33:43] But like, in a three-on-three fight, she's eliminated me.

[00:33:47] And see, that's the thing.

[00:33:47] The whole person occupies like a lot of what she's doing.

[00:33:51] So if he turned and like tried to fuck Alex, you would have put Troy in exactly basically what we did.

[00:33:58] Like, we split the damage and went and I just kept soaking up the things that I thought were gonna do the most damage or needed the most hits, right?

[00:34:05] Um, I would have rather gone after the green guy and continued to confront him because...

[00:34:09] But like, it's almost mathematically impossible for the night gone to kill me.

[00:34:13] Like, it just can't.

[00:34:14] 2d4 and I'm cutting it in half and it's gonna take care of.

[00:34:16] Unless you fail that save and go incapacitated for a whole round.

[00:34:20] But even...

[00:34:20] Yeah, even then, I'm gonna lose my rage and you could try and, you know, like...

[00:34:24] Right.

[00:34:25] Incapacitated would be...

[00:34:25] I would still have advantage on you so it wouldn't make a difference.

[00:34:27] Like, barbarians are like fucking impossible to kill because that's the whole point of them.

[00:34:32] So like, what is really, really good to do against barbarians is remove them from the table.

[00:34:35] Right.

[00:34:36] Like, they cast hold person and they just light the two of you up.

[00:34:40] And particularly, I would go after you.

[00:34:42] The night gone actually disintegrates and disappears after you kill it.

[00:34:47] It was summoned.

[00:34:48] Eat its flesh.

[00:34:49] There's no flesh, it's gone.

[00:34:50] It's ash and disappears, so...

[00:34:53] Snort its flesh.

[00:34:54] You can do that.

[00:34:57] Um...

[00:34:57] Do you guys like to loot the three bodies?

[00:35:00] Yeah!

[00:35:01] Why not?

[00:35:02] Why wouldn't we?

[00:35:03] They have all kinds of magic shit, so yeah.

[00:35:05] Well, each one has like a special thing, so yeah.

[00:35:08] Fuck play.

[00:35:09] She is wearing an amulet.

[00:35:11] Of?

[00:35:11] You'll have to identify it.

[00:35:13] I identify it.

[00:35:14] He puts it on.

[00:35:14] You'll have to identify all those things.

[00:35:16] She's wearing an amulet.

[00:35:17] The guy with the long beard has a cool staff and the other one's armor, the habric, is very cool.

[00:35:24] Staff.

[00:35:24] Yeah.

[00:35:24] There's also a standard long sword that the guy in green was carrying.

[00:35:31] Uh...

[00:35:32] He's got some javelins.

[00:35:34] And she had a scimitar that she didn't use.

[00:35:37] Then that's really all they're carrying.

[00:35:40] Everything else is kind of like, not necessarily like complete tatters, but like really aged old robes.

[00:35:49] An amulet, some armor, and what was the third item?

[00:35:52] Big staff.

[00:35:55] A beat stick.

[00:35:57] So we can either pick up from here or we can move forward and I can give you guys a nice cliffy.

[00:36:03] What's the shit?

[00:36:05] You have to identify it, so you don't have to take time to roll identify on them.

[00:36:09] Easy enough, I can do that.

[00:36:13] Um...

[00:36:13] Which is what?

[00:36:14] D20?

[00:36:15] 10 minutes per item.

[00:36:16] So 30 minutes.

[00:36:18] You can roll hit die or you can cast him.

[00:36:19] You're casting as a ritual?

[00:36:21] It's a ritual spell.

[00:36:23] So...

[00:36:24] Just a D20 to identify?

[00:36:26] Or is it just something that takes time?

[00:36:29] I don't know.

[00:36:30] You have to read identify?

[00:36:32] He has the...

[00:36:34] PHP.

[00:36:36] I'm using Google.

[00:36:38] Even better.

[00:36:39] I was writing it down so we didn't forget.

[00:36:41] You learn its properties and how to use them.

[00:36:43] Whether it requires a Tumet to use, how many charges are in it, if any.

[00:36:47] You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are.

[00:36:49] If the item was created by a spell, you learn what spell created it.

[00:36:53] So basically you just...

[00:36:54] You learn everything.

[00:36:55] I know all about it and its history.

[00:36:58] The staff is called the Staff of Life Stealing.

[00:37:01] When wielded as a magic quarter staff, it grants plus one bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.

[00:37:08] Before making an attack with the staff, you can spend a bonus action to convert damage dealt into a necrotic.

[00:37:13] When you do this, you hit with your attack.

[00:37:16] Your target must make a DC 15 con save.

[00:37:19] A failed save, the target's hit point maximum is reduced by that amount.

[00:37:26] If it hits zero, then they die.

[00:37:28] Hit points drained in this way are stored in the staff.

[00:37:30] Up to a maximum of 15.

[00:37:32] Once the staff is drained, a total of 15 hit points, this ability cannot be used until the next dawn.

[00:37:40] As an action, you can touch a creature, including yourself with the staff, to add temporary hit points from the staff.

[00:37:47] Kind of like a vampiric sword thing.

[00:37:49] Is that a simpler martial weapon?

[00:37:52] Requires a two...

[00:37:53] Staff would be simpler, I believe.

[00:37:53] It's a quarter staff, so whatever quarter staff is the equivalent of.

[00:37:57] I don't want that.

[00:37:58] The arm to the amulet is the amulet of Solpsest's armor.

[00:38:03] It's a wondrous rare item.

[00:38:07] Requires attunement by a sorcerer, wizard, or warlock.

[00:38:10] God damn it.

[00:38:10] No one else can use it.

[00:38:12] While wearing the amulet, you can cast mage armor on yourself by touching it once per day.

[00:38:16] So it's basically useless to the three or four of you.

[00:38:18] No, it's not. I would love to have extra armor.

[00:38:22] Are you a wizard, warlock, or sorcerer?

[00:38:24] Fucking bullshit.

[00:38:25] It's an amulet of plus one armor that apparently can't be used.

[00:38:30] Wizard, warlock, sorcerer.

[00:38:33] That's what it specifies, my friend.

[00:38:35] Dumb.

[00:38:36] And then the armor is chainmail.

[00:38:39] Requires attunement.

[00:38:40] It is the hobrick of the survivor.

[00:38:44] This hobrick of ancient chainmail is imbued with the strong survival instincts of all its previous wearers.

[00:38:49] You gain plus one to your AC while wearing it.

[00:38:51] In addition, you can use the disengage action as a bonus action.

[00:38:54] You cannot disengage a bonus action until you have completed the short or long rest afterward.

[00:38:59] When an attacker you can see makes a melee attack against you, and one of your allies is also within range of that attack, you can use your reaction to make your ally the target of that attack instead.

[00:39:11] Huh.

[00:39:12] Kind of a fuck you to your ally, but that's what it does.

[00:39:15] I like the chainmail and the staff.

[00:39:17] Those are both good.

[00:39:19] Of course, that's simple.

[00:39:21] When you make them the target of the attack.

[00:39:23] I like both of those things.

[00:39:25] As a reaction.

[00:39:27] I wanted that last line.

[00:39:29] I was going to say reaction.

[00:39:30] And none of it...

[00:39:32] Does any of it require attunement?

[00:39:34] I'm sure all of them do.

[00:39:35] All of them do.

[00:39:36] Okay.

[00:39:37] When your attacker you can see makes a melee attack...

[00:39:41] It's a reaction.

[00:39:43] When it makes a melee attack.

[00:39:45] Yeah, it doesn't say it has to hit.

[00:39:46] It says when they make the attack.

[00:39:48] Go ahead and finish that.

[00:39:49] When an attacker you see makes a melee attack against you...

[00:39:53] Right.

[00:39:53] ...and one of your allies is also within range, so ideally side by side...

[00:39:56] Well, no.

[00:39:57] You can force the...

[00:39:58] You can use your reaction to make your ally the target instead of you.

[00:40:04] It's sad these things won't fit the people that I would like them to fit.

[00:40:07] I would love to have Flynn wear that armor.

[00:40:10] Because, I mean, that's the thing.

[00:40:11] You take your DPS and you force it onto the tank.

[00:40:14] He wanted to be a cat.

[00:40:15] Yeah.

[00:40:16] He's got a bag of holding.

[00:40:18] Which is a bunch of stuff in it, by the way, that you no longer have.

[00:40:21] It is gone.

[00:40:22] Just like that mage armor would be...

[00:40:25] Fucking useful.

[00:40:26] If you weren't already multi-classing.

[00:40:30] It's just not worth it.

[00:40:32] Loot that body.

[00:40:34] So that's what's in this room.

[00:40:36] How much money they got?

[00:40:38] None.

[00:40:39] They have no cash on them whatsoever.

[00:40:42] Those items are probably worth a lot.

[00:40:43] I really wanted to try.

[00:40:46] Um...

[00:40:46] There are two different exits from this room, aside from the one you came in.

[00:40:52] They are actually crevices.

[00:40:54] Left.

[00:40:55] Hmm, hmm, hmm.

[00:40:56] Hmm.

[00:40:56] And when you exit this chamber, the council chamber becomes a short tunnel which winds its way downward about 40 feet, opening to the outside world.

[00:41:04] This air-quote back door, leads to a traversable ridge of rock that runs down the Orm Bittenhorn.

[00:41:12] You leave the ancient hollow mountain, full of so many crystalline sarcophagi.

[00:41:18] A narrow path takes you along a ridge of rock toward a shadowy valley between two smaller mountains, beyond the grassy plains of the kingdom of Yetiv, stretches out to the horizon.

[00:41:28] Promising a respite from the horrors that destroyed Axfane, and you hope, allies that will help you fight back.

[00:41:36] You are technically still on the mountain.

[00:41:39] Who says we're not doubling back?

[00:41:41] Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

[00:41:42] Hmm, hmm, hmm.

[00:41:43] I mean, you can, but that's what you see.

[00:41:46] Trying to give you a cliffhanger.

[00:41:47] Well, I appreciate that.

[00:41:49] But I go back and look at the other side.

[00:41:51] A, I'd like to rest before we leave.

[00:41:53] Well, probably a good idea.
