[00:00:18] The Big Sleep, No Mythos 5e Adventure.
[00:01:26] ...book for the stat block on this time. In fact, I'll take a picture of the creature and send it to you all. That's very helpful to the audio listeners. I will describe it in a moment. He's gonna send it to all the listeners too. I was hoping we wouldn't be fighting a dragon today. It's kind of in the name. I appreciate that That's why I was saying not today
[00:01:55] They're fulfilling literally Both parts of the On either side of the amphorasand He's not wrong It's definitely a Sandy Peterson dragon for sure Yeah It's got like seven visible legs Presuming they're the same on each side I believe it is Four legs and two kind of More like Praying mantis like That's not great It's got kind of the wyvern thing
[00:02:24] Where it's got like Sharp bits on the front part of its wings And then the head kind of like Serpent hydra like pops out And it's like got a graboid mouth at the top If you're using that does that mean That it is actually huge Statistically It is actually huge Just making sure you're using the right mini A dragon and a spellcaster Fun Alright So he kind of came out of that other direction You couldn't really see
[00:02:53] To your left you can see that One wall that you could climb down or up As you come out of here So it continues south towards me It kind of curved around To your right And he sort of swooped around there So he is He is in the air Suffice what you see He is a huge creature It is Very large How far up is he About 40 feet We got ranged attacks Do we though Yeah
[00:03:22] I have ranged attacks One that throws like 5 or 6 d6 You have ranged attacks My ranged attack would be Throwing the cat Your ranged attack is lightning spear You have lightning javelins He has a returning spear I have a He's got a Rifle I thought he recharged Those after the long rest I'm pretty sure he bought a handful And they're gone I thought they recharged They recharge every day
[00:03:53] You're assuming you can find them all back Pieces It's a javelin It's an 8 foot long spear If I throw it in a room I'm pretty sure I can still find it I'm trying to give you shit Cause I'm sick of you using them He gave it to him I bought them at a quite decent You did buy them He paid for them And I only bought 3 of them I could have bought 30 You should have bought 30 You threw a dragon at us Yeah Anyway He doesn't get any sympathy Y'all roll some niche Yeah Uh
[00:04:23] I 17 I did I can't remember what I rolled 22 Nice Good work 7 Less good 8 Slightly better than less good I'm Not worried about it being early in the order I know whatever bullshit he throws Is gonna hit us all anyway
[00:04:52] Troy does get to go first This thing is about 40 feet in the air With a shaman on its back Yelling up Sitter these at you So there's a really Great spell I'm hoping you have About right now You probably don't But I'm really hoping you do I probably don't If you're looking for A ranged attack spell Nope Not looking for A ranged attack At all Actually Is this local? Yeah Andy? On 65th
[00:05:22] South What are you looking for? Uh Ideally Ideally Well I guess it depends Hold monster would be pretty fucking titty sprinkles at this point I don't think anybody has that No Another silence wouldn't hurt Nobody's gonna have a wall Which has to be cast on an object About an area I don't know You cast it on an area I thought it had to be on It's on a point
[00:05:51] It's on a point Yeah Cause as small as he's drawn this You could Spherically silence Most of the space Yeah Cause the point would just be 15 feet out And 20 feet up Or whatever And you would Right I mean he could fly out of it But yeah Correct But I've got something like
[00:06:21] Hmm Holding on to some sweet thing Just do it No Just hoping that It depends on On a roll Just Just do it Can I get a Wisdom saving throw Please From the shaman Or the creature From the shaman Okay I feel like that's probably The better call Mechanically speaking Probably Cast off intelligence Probably
[00:06:49] What's a cleric cast off Cleric cast off wisdom Wisdom 16 Yeah That's probably pretty good Um You're on a fifth level You're a motherfucker His saving throw Is pretty good Must be a cleric Then Okay Next Oh that's me Uh Actually Let me Before you do that You have movement I would suggest You use it Yeah
[00:07:20] GTFO Yeah I'm gonna Yeah GTFO And as a bonus action Where the fuck Is that spell at Uh Magic shield It's not a bad one Is that not a reaction No It's uh I thought shield was a reaction Shield Shield Yes Magic shield is a Different spell Yes Just so that we are Shield of faith I'm sorry Just so we're aware
[00:07:49] You are stuck And you're confined In this area So where are you going There's a door right behind us We can just go right back Through the door Then you could go back In that room I guess Yeah Going back to Going back to the room Exactly The dragon can't follow us The shaman could But then he's Down one giant creature Uh I moved you 10 feet Get me to the other door 15 feet The other door There was a There was a door To get into that place Is there not Yeah it's right here The spiral staircase Where did it go
[00:08:19] Staircase goes up We had a magic Of secret door That is the door He went out It's considered a secret door Right See And there's another door To get into the place Otherwise No the spiral staircase He's not talked about this It descends into a pit Yeah This is a pit You're in a pit Right The spiral staircase Goes back up Across the bridge Okay the staircase What the fuck ever Like the other entrance To the place You're at the base Of a tower Basically up off
[00:08:48] Into the landing Roughly I don't want to be On there Yeah You're close You're close To the top Of the landing You're on the staircase So that's where you are Okay And I like it to go Cody You're a Yes Yeah I'm gonna need A saving throw From you here In a second Why Why am I being targeted I have a couple of thoughts I'm just curious If you were gonna tell Cause you're the largest Of the group
[00:09:20] I think you have a vendetta Against me Lucas I don't know that That's necessarily accurate I'm the swollest Of the group That's what I meant He's the sexiest Of the group Swollest of the group Yes on both counts Sexiest undead Yeah Actually Can I do that Yep Um I need I need you And the cat
[00:09:50] Both To Dance Level up Level up He said it I'm doing it I'm gonna level Elizabeth saving throws Not great It's not great I bet mine won't be either Ooh Real bad Real bad
[00:10:20] Thirteen Five Neither of you Can move Fuck You are held Oh hold me Can somebody Pick them up And take them with you Cast the other hold person It's at such a high level It's a higher level It's two I can get two people Which is a very unfortunate Actually Cause it's like Yeah no no We've That's Odd question about Hold person Can somebody else Pick you up And carry you Out of the room I mean Kinda
[00:10:50] Yeah You're just Incapacitated Yeah you're There's nothing about the spot It's a condition You are paralyzed So it's just as if You could pick up Somebody who's Having a seizure Or who is unconscious You could just move them Yeah Or if you're like Jeff When he got Totally fucked In Nepthelion Cause he was just Held up And they just kept Critting on him Oh god Just it was like Just straight crits Just Just murdered his balls
[00:11:19] Because he just held him in place I have a feeling We're about to Experience something similar This creature Swoops down And to Around It is still hovering But within reach Of uh Of you Yeah Um He gets multi attack His multi attack Is a three tiered situation Gonna be three tiers Yeah I'm guessing I need you to make A wisdom saving throw Wisdom saving It's gonna be two hits Him hitting you You hitting the ground
[00:11:50] Hey Troy High five You didn't make it You made it Not a TPK Still fight back Avenge me Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Roll saving throws To get out of it Uh He's gotta 12 We can hold two people One level of dread Sorry Two levels of dread sir Since we're using dread rules It is a fear effect If that matters to you
[00:12:22] Fear Fear Some people Have resistance to fear I don't know if your creature does Your character does I think mine does You need to make sure I'm checking If that's the case It will be one level of dread If you kill me I'll come back as a wizard And ruin your fucking game Um I'll come back as his familiar Another cat You should come back as a cat Who is also a wizard The next thing that happens Is a He will bite And then he will claw As a reaction I play Misty Step
[00:12:51] To get the fuck out of here Nice It's a reaction for you It is a reaction for me It's a reaction bonus action I get to go 30 feet away Somewhere else It's a bonus action or a reaction It's a reaction It is a reaction But I can play it as a bonus action If I'm using it actively That's fine But you use it as a reaction Yeah I am using it as a reaction 30 feet in the direction Where do you want to go What's the trigger on the reaction Yeah that is true I'm being attacked I'm being physically attacked It's not based on You haven't been You haven't been attacked yet Oh I haven't been attacked yet No Well you're about to be attacked You're about to be attacked
[00:13:20] You have not been yet You have not yet been attacked So after I get attacked then I will Misty step the fuck out of here Correct Um So do I have to hit first Or no No because you haven't attacked yet have you I'm about to bite the fuck out of him yes No you're missing What caused the dread If it's like a dragon Dread is a fear effect It's a screech basically That's not an attack That's a fear effect I assume it's like the dragon thing So yeah When he swings the first time Then you can react to it
[00:13:49] Now it's a physical attack Yeah After the fear effect I assume that it's Yeah Yeah You probably have to be attacked once Yeah Keep in mind You Misty step You don't have to go across level ground That's true You can shoot You can see up the stairs You can shoot your ass like Four levels up the stairs If you do the Pythagorean theorem As I would love to be close Up where Troy is So you You probably are out of here Flynn and I am a little concerned about But you're probably good How high up is the landing
[00:14:20] It was 20 feet From the bridge So I would say 20 feet From the floor Your X And your Y There are 20 I would like to be to the landing After you attack me You won't quite meet you You can get on the stairs I'd be The closer to the other door That we came out of The better for me I can put you next to Troy I'll take it I'll swing first I'll take it You might crit and kill him I don't know God I hope not Well he's got 30 feet of It's 27 to hit Movement and 30 feet of regular Yeah hit me
[00:14:50] That's unfortunate Now the question is Do I hit you Or do you reactionary move Before I hit you You deal damage Okay thank you You hit me first And then I run away Is that a What ability is that? It's one of the special abilities I got for Oh what was it One of the Oh shit damage Feats I took When I was leveling up What's it called that? I wrote it down Seven No Yeah seven piercing damage Seven
[00:15:19] From the bite And now if you would like To misty step out of there You can do that I would love to go Is it expeditious retreat? No That's the one that just Increases movement action It was from when I picked up Fae touched I actually have it in here somewhere I can look it up I was just curious Yeah It's in this book So I just wanted to see what it was You disappear Then he will lean down And slash at the cat Since he's the closest Hey fuck off Unfortunately I couldn't pick you up
[00:15:49] Before I ran away You learned Cassie You just learned it for being 17 hit It was a I'm immobilized I don't know what that Oh advantage I get advantage on you That's right It's still a 17 hit Suck my dick Miss? Yeah Oh okay Where are you? That's one Where are you? Just a little out of reach It was a little Little like Where the fuck did that guy go? Wait a minute Choked It is
[00:16:19] Cody's turn You can roll a Is it a wisdom save To break out? I believe that's all you can do I presume so Yes Feet Feet Because you guys might like this feat later I like the idea of it Oh I'm gonna get out Flynn I've either I've either gotten out Or we've set the bar Alright 21 You're out Well He That's your action He held two of us So Um That's your turn though Yeah
[00:16:48] It's only third level That you can start to hold the second person Right But a third level spell Yes It's a third level spell Not third level I understand Yeah So I mean He's probably He's at least us And I got the sense That he might be one or two levels higher Uh Sorry I make that save at the beginning or end of my turn End of your turn Okay That's It is your turn Um Now it's Alex's turn He just moved
[00:17:18] Uh I'm Sorry I skipped Flynn No Flynn Yeah Flynn it's your turn Make my save Ugh That's 12 You are held Now it's Alex's turn I'm continuing to run away Cause he's at the bottom of the order His turn was He reacted Oh yeah I know it gets confusing when we play 5A But that is the case Technically I think I was 4 Flynn But I am okay with going after him No you were You were 7 I was 8 Oh I did have them backwards I was 7 I wrote them down backwards He was 7 Either way
[00:17:49] Alex it's your turn Flynn failed his thing I Hmm How close am I to the other door? Uh Within 20 feet Okay Uh First thing I'm gonna do then I'm gonna shoot at the shaman And then I will run away Yeah you're behind a big wall So you can't see I am? You're in a fucking room You went into the next room There's a wall in front of you
[00:18:19] Why the hell am I running away? I don't know That was your choice You went into the other room Hey Troy How you doing? I'm thinking about continuing to walk away from the situation How about you? Is the cavern completely open from side to side? Like Or no Is this a pit? I'm very confused about the layout He's behind a wall No I understand I understand the layout I just don't know if I don't know how high that wall is And but like
[00:18:46] So they can't physically see the monster right now No because he did swoop down Yeah If he was still up in the air It might be able to It's open on this side But this On the side that they're in Is Is Quite literally You're hugging a wall Going down Up and down the stairs Right I'm just making sure that when they get to the bridge They couldn't see it Or if they go up another set of stairs They couldn't see it Even if you're on the bridge Because of the way he swooped down You can't see him So up on the land I couldn't see him Yeah Not even the shaman on his head No Because I mean That shaman's like Ostensibly
[00:19:15] He's not technically on his head He's on his back He's probably 15 feet in the air So that's why I was making sure how If there was a wall or not If it's a concealed If it's a contained Pit I'm following you You cannot see Okay So I'm You're in a tube You might not be able to hear it I'm gonna guess Silence probably dropped If you got held No
[00:19:45] Doesn't he break concentration I would assume so It's not technically incapacitated But you are incapacitated Yeah So probably I assume Silence is gone I'd have to look at the conditions But I assume so Alright I just wasn't sure If I was gonna be able to Hit the thing before I You can't take actions Or reactions Huh That's interesting Is it Well I guess it's not an action It's not an action It's not an action It's just Yeah So it'd be whether or not Yeah I'm still maintaining If it's Concentration I guess that's fair So it will be up to you
[00:20:15] If you want to drop it But yeah The only thing I can do Is concentrate on that spell So I'm gonna do it Go ahead And I'll just Go back to the Original room then To where Everything is happening No No No No The other direction Alright You're in a room Where no one's at I'm okay with that That's my turn Skeletons And one dead woman He's pulling a flint He's gonna hide behind a rock Until he's dead Do it It's actually the hero's approach It's the survivor's approach
[00:20:45] For sure To be fair Flynn did it When it wasn't necessary To be fair This It's gonna be a little It's gonna be It's gonna be close It's gonna be close Real close Wish I had some More supplies It could be real close I'm assuming Running away is your turn Then Yeah I'll I'll I'll think about something else While they're Doing their thing He's planning He hears The screams of us being Eaten and digested By this dragon thing I check My inventory To see if there's Something I can use
[00:21:14] That would put you Basically Throw all my grenades Wait a minute I have one grenade He's got one grenade left He didn't throw it I was gonna throw it Over the wall But he keeps Selling though It's too far I mean you can Chuck it over the wall It's luck Whenever you get it I'm gonna I'm gonna run back Pick up the cat And then use My action to Flee 20 25 30 gets you Right at the cat Yeah Pick him up Go Your movement Was to move You can't Kick up and then Double move
[00:21:44] Why can't I Because double moving Is one action Right So is Disagency You're telling me Picking him up Is an action No You moved 30 feet Right And stopped Right That's all you can do You can't move Another 30 feet Are you kidding You can double move In one action Dashing is an action No you can bring up Your movement You can bring up Your movement You can move Like 10 feet I can move One direction And move back As my action If I want to You're gonna get An op attack Then Yeah Okay No 100% This man's a hero
[00:22:18] I think Lucas Wants to kill me He really wants To kill you That is a 19 on the die Uh oh That'll do it Yeah Lucas D8s It's better 16 piercing Oof From a bite How far are you going Back to where you were Back to where Yeah So you guys are just Right back where you Started them Left the ghoul alone Didn't he
[00:22:48] Some friend Yeah It's my turn now Some friend Who's a DM Who keeps attacking Me every single time Do your worst Wisdom save Fear I ain't afraid No ghost I may be Afraid of no ghost 16 16 Um You actually passed Nice I ain't afraid No ghost But he will Try to bite
[00:23:18] And claw you Um The shaman also Gets to go But we'll do this First He was going to Forget about that Um It's not going to hit The first Bite misses That's a 19 on the die To hit for the Claw I don't get hit by Prime numbers It's impressive 12 Uh Slashing Or if that's a save Or if that isn't Casting attack Go fuck yourself It's a cantrip
[00:23:48] It's not It is You can do it At will Whenever However It is a dexterity Saving throw Why don't you Give me ones That I can make Lucas Where's the fun In that Okay That is An 11 Barner Storm cloud Rises above
[00:24:18] As lightning Fires down upon you Is it 12 No I guess not 16 Lightning damage
[00:24:39] And then he will He will whoosh Fly back up About 40 feet in the air Op attack And you're not within range He's really fucking big So it depends on which way he flies He flies up and over He's got reach His Because of his You said You said swoop So swoop implies
[00:25:08] Well that's a fair point I said the right swoop That's my answer Words mean something Lucas Up and over Apparently he's taking the elevator Up to the drawbridge Which is like an escalator Right Sorry yeah Yeah it's your turn You are no longer held I know I broke that Yeah Congrats Um I will
[00:25:43] Yeah Yeah Cause the little guy can't be Or the big guy can't be that hard to hit Right Hmm He is very big Here's one of them I like One Telekinetic
[00:26:23] Sorry I went to google Google something And it Um All born Big boobies You got it Uh How far away is he from me right now 40 feet in the air Um He's also 20 feet Away from you So Okay 20 feet forward 40 feet up Uh I need them both to make Dexterity saving throws Please Both Yep
[00:26:55] Alright 12 for the dragon creature That's fail Even a single digit For the shaman Uh They both take 11 points of lightning damage As I throw a Javelin of lightning Well done How many 11 It's not a great roll On 46 Okay I will then step back Through the door And close it This isn't over Okay
[00:27:24] Is the key still in the door Yeah Locked Neat Wise decision Cause I turn around Just like Blood oozing Totally fur singed Alex You're in another room Are you doing anything You've seen none of this Or heard none of this I mean You might have heard Some noises But I come out of the room Is everybody alive You're on the landing You see Fishman holding a cat And Somewhere down the stairs In front of the door You see
[00:27:54] In silence Who said a word Who said something That no one could hear No I said it to him I don't It's not about them It's about him No one could hear it Doesn't matter The room is still silenced Standing in front of Now a closed door I would have taken A five foot step To the left Because I do not want To be directly In front of that door That's basically Right at the edge Of the stairs Right on the Lowest stair No but what I'm saying Is that when the other Person is driving A literal Mack truck You do not stand In front of the door No that's right
[00:28:25] Because you We presume The dragon can't Get through that door He may be able To make his own door I don't understand Why you don't realize That you're not Go ahead Go ahead I go down And make sure That my companions Are Mostly alive I mean you're At the top of the landing They can all see you Are we still in combat Yeah I go back into the Dome He steps out And goes
[00:28:54] Wait a second Y'all good Bye That little bit Can't auto save Can't auto save Yeah he's gotta Keep running To find a safe place Enemies are nearby You can't fast travel Can't sleep Enemies are nearby Move ten more feet You're fine Definitely not gonna Have a TPK Alright Ooh 21 No longer held Meow I was curious Troy You got a cat in your hand Do you have to have a line of sight
[00:29:24] For a whole person To cast it probably But not to hold it I don't think I don't think that's the case I don't know The whole party gets wiped out I'll just have to switch Necromancer I suppose you have to look up Concentration more than anything At the end of its turn On whether or not Concentration I don't know Matters about line of sight It's an interesting idea Cause you definitely have to have Line of sight within range To see them But I don't know if once you Break line of sight If that would Cause you can no longer See the person you're holding Can I hold that silence If we just walk ten minutes In one direction
[00:29:53] No but like Right Right exactly I would think of it as like A magical like tether Right He still knows the tether Is there Awareness of the spell If that was the case Silence would have dropped Cause he walked out of that room No I think it's just A metaphysical question Of magic But you don't have to Yeah I mean You have to cast on a point You can see So I mean that's the point If Flynn cast silence In his basement And then got in his car And drove home Is it gonna be silent For ten minutes You know what I mean Oh good question Fair question As long as it takes no damage
[00:30:26] I wrecked my car That silence is gone Shit Oh fuck That would have been a good You still get a roll to save I mean It's whatever Uh Top of the order He's not taking us out of combat yet So Um Medic The medic has a cat I would If the cat is willing To stay within my grasp Go Back up the stairs Like back into the Other room Yeah Okay Hey you're alive
[00:30:57] Um Give me a dexterity saving throw You got hit right How much Um I'm eight under Max So I'm not terrible Okay You guys haven't really taken that much damage I think he's the only one Who's Au contraire He has He's taking like 200 damage today alone Uh Fourteen Um I'm not quite sure
[00:31:25] What I'm saving against Uh I should double check that I may have gotten advantage on that Advantage due to Your Uh Like trimmer sense Or whatever the fuck it's called Danger sense Uh I have to be able I have to be able to see it So if I don't see him coming Then I wouldn't You don't see him coming No But you do hear the slam And all of the Wall crumbling down On top of you Sixteen is a save But you'll take half Interesting He has a vendetta
[00:31:55] Against that ghoul He really does Um He keeps it up That's Seventeen So half of seventeen Do you half that again? No Because I wasn't raging Okay So you take Seven bludgeoning As The wall crumbles down upon you As this creature Sort of perches On what's remaining Of the wall And the shaman looks down Upon you And Uh You're still in silence So you don't hear anything He says He's monologuing
[00:32:27] That's all you see Looks metal as fuck Um Because of where he is In the radius I think he is in silence Right? Because doesn't it go up Forty feet technically? Uh It depends on what he would have done Because if he If he cast it on the floor Then it's a semicircle But even if he cast it on the floor It's still twenty feet up Yeah So yeah I mean He's probably in silence So technically The shaman is in silence Right? So Slight detriment He starts to rant And then like
[00:32:57] Yeah He's like I can't Realize he's in silence He's just miming Yeah You hear him Or you see him say Fuck He just sort of points down And puts a thumb Across his throat Just so you know What he means You shrug It's like I don't I don't understand Um But due to that He can't cast any spells Aw shucks So Cody You took a little bit of bludgeoning on that Uh You're at the bottom of the stairs That was a half crumbled wall right? Yeah
[00:33:26] He's perched on top of what's Remaining of it Which are about Ten feet up We'll call it half down So yeah Who's perched on top of it? The creature So the creature starts Ten feet up Yeah His toes will be at ten feet Okay All Yeah he's got Like twelve toes I think he's got more than twelve toes there man
[00:33:56] I think they're only three Toed feet No Oh maybe they're more From the picture it's hard to say Four legs worth of toes Well they don't look like Actual feet No they're kind of like Lizard like Uh Feet Um That's not enough Is it? No that's seven You can be invisible Right? I can make anybody invisible And I get Uh
[00:34:25] Advantage on Stealth checks Because of my armor It's unfortunate So I can be very Very stealthy When I want to be Until I start Chucking grenades At people Which if we can Ever get out Of this god damn Cave I will make sure Each one of you Has at least three grenades At all times Because you know what I would be doing Right now I know Deploying my Bandolier of grenades Directly under this Fucker's grundle Um
[00:34:55] I I will make more As soon as we can get to a town But until that time I'm down to one grenade I'm almost tempted to just stick my head out the door And throw a grenade at this thing And hope for the best First time in a while Cody's had to really think about his action I know what I want to do And you're not going to let me do it So I'm trying to do something else Depending on what it is I suppose Alright I'm going to explain this This sequence of events
[00:35:21] I'm going to Rage Which is my final rage of the day Uh For my movement Because this wall is basically destroyed now Right There's crumbles and bits everywhere Right Yeah Okay So a standing high jump
[00:35:51] I can clear It's like Seven feet Cause it's like As long as I get a little bit of a run up Okay So I'm going to imagine There's some bit of wall That I can get a hold of And climb up There's pieces of wall laying there You could Right Leap off of Sure So my rage was a bonus I'm going to
[00:36:20] Attempt to double move Okay To get on the dragon's back I don't know that You Get that far Why I'm just climbing I'm jumping And then climbing Um Okay That would be my action And then my move That's fair Um Why do you need to double Yeah Because theoretically The jump is like Seven
[00:36:50] And he said that he's Ten feet up Plus he's a ten foot tall creature Cause I'm not stopping Getting a hold of him Depends on how Lucas Was to play it Standing jump would be Three plus my modifier Of seven So I can basically Leap plus extend my arms And I could pull myself up Level with that guy On a high jump Then if I can use A climb speed Of half my movement I can be sitting on the thing's back As a double move I would think Uh Go ahead and give me Give me a perception check On the creature I don't want to give you
[00:37:20] A perception check On the creature I'm trying to give you I don't want a perception check Information that may or may not Sway 13 That's enough To notice How Shiny The creature itself is And how much Um Slime seems to be Dripping off of its body It is A slippery surface You can try it But it's gonna be A high dex Climb Why would it be a dex Uh Because that's
[00:37:50] It literally has A slippery It's on the fucking stat Slippery Right But it's athletics to climb Which I get advantage for If I rage That's my point I'm using my abilities Not dex Go ahead You're fine Go ahead Okay The thing I said Carry on Go ahead I can make a roll If you only make a roll If he's slimy I think that that's fair It is He literally has a A trait called slippery But go ahead That's fair In fairness In fairness
[00:38:19] It is mostly to Get out of grapples Or escape anything That may or may not Be trying to grapple Like Clink onto it So Sure It would be on me To roll that Would you like me To roll something Go ahead and climb it So I'm I have climbed the thing You've climbed the thing Okay Which is your entire action Really right Action surge Fair Second wind
[00:38:47] Second wind is different than It's a bonus action It is a bonus action That's what it means You get a bonus action And an action Yes Do you It says you get a You get an action And possible bonus action Is what it says In the rules Okay Which means I could really use Some fucking hit points More than that More than that Would be better for you Hey you know what Increasing by 30%
[00:39:17] Is not bad Lucas You think I'm kidding And then The guy who was just Making the throat Slitting Motion at me I'm gonna grapple him Okay That's an attack action right Nope Don't think so Lose an attack action To grapple Don't think so
[00:39:45] I believe he has to make An athletics or acrobatics Check against me You guys are opposed Yup To which I have advantage on To grapple check Instead of an attack roll A strength athletics check Contested by the targets Athletics or dexterity Okay I will be using athletics Means I made a good roll For a change To be fair I had to have advantage on it But I did I did do well
[00:40:15] Cause I bet This wizard Isn't strong Or this cleric Isn't strong And isn't Oh he fucked Yeah He's grappled I rolled a 26 Nat 20 So I like the I like the cinematic Of he He can't taunt me He points And he rips across his throat To which I fucking Cling to this thing Like a mountain man Leap up And I'm now grabbing him Around the throat And Nah
[00:40:44] I assume you're not gonna Let me have any movement I bonus action So my action was Yeah I double moved I don't have any movement Yeah I really wanna fall I thought about The exact same thing Um So now we're wrestling On the back of his dragon Alex it's your turn You're in the room With two other people I'm out of combat I'm gonna go We're still on initiative You're still on combat You've not run Far enough away
[00:41:14] Combat is not over Until I say it is over In initiative I feel like that was worth Taking my time To figure the fuck out How I was gonna do that That's fair What's in the room A bunch of Skeleton parts A dead vorm eye Jars Jar pieces Yep Hmm One broken Holy shit You got all the fuck Way back there God damn He wanted to go back In the room So that's where I put him I did wanna go back That's a long fucking way away He should be able to save there
[00:41:44] I should But apparently not I'm still in initiative order Everybody's in initiative order Until combat is over Stick my head out there And chuck a bone At the dragon Neat Flynn You're also in the room You were carried in the room I don't know I don't wanna be in combat Too bad Remember
[00:42:14] You gotta go down Those stairs To get to where you're Oh How far Oh It's 20 feet down That stairwell Before you get to the floor You could leap from the bridge He's no longer standing there He's up here now Are we up? Yeah Can I just jump? I do Can you jump that far? Dude I'm a fucking cat If he gets a 10 foot I was just looking at the rules If he gets a 10 foot run up It is Feasibly yeah Uh
[00:42:45] Yeah I think he could clear 15 feet I'm trying to remember I just read it But I ended up It is very It's feasible It's three times your Strength score Is that athletics Or uh Strength jump I don't remember For a running jump It's If it A long A running Long jump Is If you get 10 feet of Like runway I believe it's three times Your strength score I have to hit this real quick And then I'll look out Okay Yeah I have to I have to clock in No you're fine
[00:43:14] I'm already late I heard your thing go off Uh I was just looking at the jump rules Jump 5E Jump Nope Not the spell Keep hitting Fucking spell You got a fucking spell But yeah I know Yep Big I'm multi-classing in the wizard Oh shit Jumping Long jump Uh You can cover a number of feet Up to your strength score
[00:43:44] If you move at least 10 feet Strength score Flynn 7 7 Ooh But I'm looking it up Cause I know I have a bunch of like Cat things That I can do I think jumping might be one of them Oh This rule assumes the height of your jump Doesn't matter
[00:44:10] Yeah cause high jump is 3 Plus your strength modifier If you can move 10 feet There's that zoom That you almost played Hey There's still time Lucas We ain't done yet I'm hovering Uh precariously Uh Close to death Have been actually For the last couple rooms
[00:44:40] And you're not yet done Fuck off If you're gonna kill me You gotta earn it Ain't gonna run away like a bitch I'm gonna choke your wizard On the way out What I was going to say But it didn't matter Cause we're in silence But Cyrus was thinking Um I'm not stuck in here with you You're stuck in here with me Your base speed is 40 In addition You have long claws Climbing speed of 30 You have a climbing speed Uh Nothing about a jumping Yeah I'm not saying either Yeah nothing about
[00:45:10] I'm in the dreamlands I can literally jump to the fucking moon Yeah well I can only jump Uh What What are the rules on climbing Can you skip He's got 30 feet of climbing Yeah Can you Can you climb across a sheer surface Like Can you die Like It's a It's a rounded thing right Can you just run at the wall And then like Yeah where Where Bruce Lee Your shit around the corner He's where he is Okay and this is a bridge That is a bridge Yeah So The bridge would be Here
[00:45:40] If it goes in that direction That's what I'm saying Yeah So I could jump I mean that's Less than Five feet I mean that's five and change That's about seven feet Yeah it's about 25 feet To the edge to edge So I see that's not right You could move 25 feet And then jump seven feet Okay Yeah I'd do that That is actually fair So you can jump onto him Okay You wouldn't be able to I mean I don't know How high you can jump How high can you jump Are you trying to get to his back Or just onto him Just onto him
[00:46:10] Because I have a climbing speed Okay People at home can't see this Lucas is now trying to stack Miniatures on top of miniatures Just put him on a dive beside him Damn it So my speed is 50 My climb speed is 30 Yeah Can I get up to The shaman that's being held by my buddy I mean yeah Okay
[00:46:40] Scratch his eyes out Yeah He's grappled Does that give you I don't think There's no advantage Or anything Which I always think Is just dumb But whatever Because that's a single move for you Really Yeah Alright Depending on which movement You're forcing Give him the business Ah That doesn't hit No good Second business Ooh 20 Okay 12 business Just making sure he doesn't have any reactions
[00:47:09] 12 How's he looking? Not great Like really bad The shaman itself The creature itself Is fucking impeccable What's your Initiative? Uh I think I'm third in the order Okay And they go first? Uh

[00:50:38] Within reach of you How high is it So high I guess you're 20 feet From the ground So roughly there So it makes no sound That's fine It's a Fearsome Posture Based on The description Sounds like it's The dragon's fear effect Which normally is just Because the dragon Well it's fine He just says Screeching Well because a screech Sounds more intimidating Well it doesn't in silence The shit He's finally trying to Immerse us The creature adopts Let him do it The creature adopts
[00:51:08] A fearsome posture To intimidate a single Creature it can see 20 You're not feared But it will bite And claw at you You can try First one misses Robo Got two fives Fuck that die Miss miss Shaman Shaman What do I need to roll To break out Strength You need to Roll an opposed
[00:51:41] Athletics or acrobatics I believe Is he going to try and Escape He could Nah he'll just Claw at you That's a 19 to hit Oh fuck I should have done that
[00:52:14] Seven slashing Second claw I am raging Is a miss So he hits you With one claw Three points To slashing damage I look in his face And just laugh I would compel Duel If If the monster Was flying towards me But yet he's compelled To Yeah I don't know Fight me in RL It is your turn Cody Okay
[00:52:45] Um Cause I think I have Advantage on him right I don't think There's an advantage For grapple You just Can attack Or Move Or Whatever Jump off the dragon With him under you Um First thing I'm gonna do Is um Reckless attack And I will attempt To claw him back

[00:53:49] I'm literally just Like Like Jason Bourne Riding him down No no I It's gonna hurt him A lot more than it hurts me Cause I'm taking half damage It's so good Cause he's flying right So we're 20 We're 30 feet in the air How big is the dragon Cause he's 20 feet up It's a huge dragon He's a 15 foot tall Creators So So you are about 35 feet above the ground We're 10 Now we're 15 So I guess the question is 25 30 feet How high are we up
