Good one and welcome back to Saugas of Sundry Goblin Mode. I'm your dungeon master, Amy Vorpal. and with me as always are your minions of mayhem, the Terror Squad, played by... Hi everyone, I'm Dan Casey. I play Phibbs, a skeleton wizard who may or may not be a tree right now.

I am. Hello, I am Danielle Radford. I play Busy. Busy is a skeleton who is a bard, rogue multi-class who is very, very close to dying. Also, very true. Hey, I'm Jason Wynne. I play Tippy, the Goblin Artifister,

who is apparently a lucky, lucky boy. Perfect. Yes, and with that it is now time too, part the veil of reality. Folks, we're getting right into this because we are no longer sitting around a table with beautiful scenery around us and feeling really good and energetic. No, no, no. We're actually at death's doorstep and dire straits because we are in FitFedliff and in front of you all are the three gallantlings who tore you, who rent you from your home. the yester dusters at the very beginning of the season. We have a human, a dwarf, and a gnome.

The human is wearing a circlet. The gnome is wearing a ring that you notice right away. And not only are they standing right in front of you in the Fate Keepers Ritual Room, Eun-Zug has just left. Uthus and Tippy are strapped and shackled to the Payneite crystal, and the entirety of FitFedeldelve seems to be on the verge of exploding into a volcano.

into a volcano. You do hear some claxons and bells ringing out, shouts and the running of dwarven feet as they try to exit. Along with them is the pitter-powder of the fleshy, demon folk all trying to exit as well. Some of them are actually climbing up the room where you're at, which is now open to the daylight, hundreds of feet above.

The room that you are in, the Fit Fideldel Ritual Room, is 100 feet high, and then several more 100 feet up is where the exit of this daylight is. So, that being said, Tippy, you actually have your arms free. Other than that, Euthys is still shackled, and Pakara, she actually only has one hit point left. The yester-dusters look at you, and they're smiling, and they say, oh, another adventure.

You know, I think I remember all three of you. You were running for your lives. And the gnome says, that's right. And I think I remember that you fell into a trap. And we heard some screams, and I think we just assumed you were dead and moved on, but here you were. are larger than life. It will be good to finish the job. Before we roll initiative, Euthis is going to unlock herself now that she's got all of her spells back and she says,

I know that I would be of help here, but I need to serve as many people as I can, so I believe I must help save the dwarves, a fit fettledelf. Before I go, I think I would like to just give you a little luck. And she's going to give you the option to either restore all of your spell slots or restore all of your hit points. Hit points. Oh, that was fast. As you're a champion, I want my spell slots back.

All you get your spell slots back. Okay. Busy, it sounds like you wanted. Geez, I think it is in all of our best interest unless we want me to be a pile of bones the whole time for me to get my hit points back. All right, your hit points are now at full. Same for Pekara.

She doesn't have any spells, so she's doing hit points. Phibs, what is your choice? This is the hardest choice I've ever had to make. Really? Yeah. Where are you? Where is your hit points? I have four out of 26 hit points. Okay, and what about your spell slots? I have three level one slots and one level two slot left.

Oh. So I don't know if I should live dangerously or if I should live deliciously. Let the dice decide, brother. Yeah, all right, okay. One through ten, I will do HP, HP 11 through 20, I will do spells. All right, spells it is. Spells, you get all your spells last back.

I have a plan, I have a plan for you. And with that, Euthys flies off. She's going to go ahead and unshackle your feet on her way, but she floats away and begins assisting all the dwarves in their evacuation. The dwarf goes, it's the yester dusters back again. And the human goes, it's a shame. This will happen very quickly.

For you, everyone roll initiative. All right, try this again. All right, yeah. Okay, did anyone get a 16 or higher? Yes, I got a dirty 20. Dirty 20, okay, you're gonna go first. Anyone get an 11 or higher? Yes, I got a 15.

Sorry, 15. And then six or higher? Yeah, I got a knife. Busy, perfect. Okay, so they unsheathe their weapons and looks like they're gonna move forward and attack you. They just popped out of the portal right behind the ritual table. Vizzi, you are underneath.

There are still some skeletons alive. One skeleton is alive with you. You also have Crandall, and there are two skeletons still at the top, but they have no master at the moment. Right. Just keep that in mind. Tippy. What would you like to do?

OK, so where are they relative to me? How close are they? Pretty close, yeah. Within, yeah, 10 feet away. And how close am I to the tree? The tree's right on time. I mean, yeah. And I'm on shackled now, yeah?

Yes, you are. Okay. Before I do anything, I turn to the yesteresters in a go. You know who you're fighting for even? What you're even doing here? We're doubly hired by Unzug and the Saeed. Don't even worry about it. Yeah?

Well, you're hired by a geek. His name isn't even Unzug. It's Cordare Babelbrook. How do you feel about that? It's not the best name. Yeah, lame. Absolutely bummer name. I don't know what you are.

me to do about that. Stop working for him and work for me. No. Okay, I thought that would work somehow. Okay. As I'm saying all this, it's really a distraction for me to get close to the tree and sort of stealthily touch it with my hand and cast a sanctuary on the tree. Nice.

Okay. You felt the warmth of sanctuary before with berignia. Yes. I sort of clocked it and remembered it and sort of found my own artificer way to do it. Cool. So what does that do for a fibs? Basically, with my free hand, I kind of just scribbled no touchy on the tree. And what that does is anybody attacking Fibbs needs to roll a wisdom save or else they have to target something else.

Amazing. He's completely protected unless he makes an attack of his own. But he's not protected from area of effect spells. Okay, awesome. So that's going to be my action. And for my bonus action, I want to, I want to try to disengue. disengage and run as far away from them as my full movement speed away from them as I can. So basically I'm like-

You'll get close to the entrance of the room. No problem. And you don't need to disengage because you're not in combat yet. No, I'm not in combat. So I can just move without having to do that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. So then as my bonus action, I want to move first and then I want to hide using my goblin ability, nimble escape. It lets me hide on every bonus action or dis-

Okay, awesome. Yeah, go ahead and roll a stealth check just to see. But other than that, you're hidden, and then it is the gnome's turn. And with the luckstone, I roll three times every check, right? Every D20 roll, yes. Every D20 roll, so three times and take the highest one. The highest will be, it'll be 18 total.

Okay, you feel very hidden. You're actually really, if you're dashing, you're like right at the entrance of the Fate Keepers Ritual Room where you had entered ages ago. So yeah, essentially I distract them, I cast my spell, and as I'm running away, I try to make it seem like my voice is fading away. I'm like,

Yeah, you're really working for the room. Yeah, what? It is now the gnome's turn. So really, they just see the skeletons in you. And just a large birch tree. And a large birch tree. And a large birch tree. So it's really, who they're going to be attacking really

is Tibby, because Busy is underneath the ground at the moment. Yeah, OK, so he's going to, as you're running away, just like cast this ray of frost at you, searing cold. And does a. Dang it. My favorite words. Dang it. Very, very old for it.

Does it? Yeah. It's just, people are just inclined to say it when they enter FitFedledale. Yeah, dang it. Eight, eight. Doesn't eight? Absolutely not.

No, absolutely not. Okay, so then the dwarf, what she's gonna do is, can she reach you? If you're dashing, then she cannot get to you. And she can see me? Oh, gosh, can she see you. Can she see me? That is a good.

18 on the self. I think it would be passive perception and no, there's no way. Eun-zuk was not clear that the birch tree was an enemy, so that's interesting. Un-zug, who are we supposed to get? Where are these people? There's a skeleton and a goblin and another skeleton, but all I saw is a goblin and now I don't even see him.

Okay, she's just kind of mucking around the room, looking at stuff. She sees the skeleton, you know, she's gonna try to attack that, skeleton one of the one of the dwarven skeletons that were raised why not that's crazy give me one second sure yeah I did not even think about this okay so she's gonna try to shoot her crossbow at at one of the skeletons nice that is going to hit no problem and she does six piercing damage to that skeleton great oh my gosh okay and then it is

Kathy's turn, she's the human. Kathy. Kathy. God, Kathy? I am Ack in the darkness. And she says, don't get down about it, Baritha. We'll figure it out. We always do.

But we're the yester dust is. Bertha, Kathy, and Togunuch? Togunuch, yeah. God. Okay. Okay, so she actually can dash just like you. And she's going to dash after you. Let's see if she does try to find you and see if she can.

Let's see, that's a wisdom. She gets an 18. Was that your hide bonus? Yeah, your hide check? Yeah, your head check. Great, yeah. So she does find you. And she's going to swipe at you with her dagger.

Does a 19 hit. Yes. Okay, great. So she's going to do seven points of piercing damage to you. Oh, seven points, okay. Seven points, okay. Seven points? Now it's fibs and then busy and then Peccar.

Okay, so out of Phibbs' trunk, a familiar looking shape emerges. A terrifying little phase spider, the size of your average melon. She sneaks it behind Togunuk and says, Terra, and blasts him with Webb. Yes, okay, Taganuk. We're gonna see if you can save, what's the DC on that?

That is a DC 12 strength check. Absolutely not. You have weak, baby? Okay, Taganuk is restrained. He can still take actions, but yeah, he has a lot of disadvantages there. He's completely webbed and yeah, Luf does say,

Tabor, I did it once to Unzug and you'll get the same treatment from me. And Taganook is blasted with the web and just struggling in place to try to get out of it. But he is restrained. What does Fibbs do? Fibbs wants to hold his action until someone approaches within

five feet of the tree. Okay. And I don't want to give it away because I think it'll be more satisfying, but you may have an idea of what I might be up to. Okay, exciting, exciting, exciting. Akara's turn. She's nearby, she took the full hit points.

What is she going to do? Well, she saw you run away. Yeah. She might follow. No, she's gonna just attack the gnome while he's there and webbed. All right, let's see. She's going to, actually, she takes out her sphere that she has and holds it out, and it casts. the 15-foot cone of fire.

Oh. Right on that webbed gnome. Let's go, Piccarra. So he needs to make this DC-12 dexterity saving throw. He does not, so he takes a lot of fire damage. Okay, so she clocks Tippy running away, and she goes, well, I bet he's fine, he always is. And then she just says, take this, Louf, I've got your back,

and does just a hell of a lot of damage to this web, and the gnome inside of it. The webs are flammable. The webs are flammable. They will burn away at the next round, but not right now, and he's on fire. He's surrounded by fire. So on his next turn, he will take some more fire damage

as he's enrapped on that. Okay, so that's Picara. Look, Busy? Okay, so Busy is still downstairs. Okay, you hear all of this happening. But I've heard what's happening. And so I'm just like, all right, Crandall, play it cool. I'm gonna use my charm.

charm to cast disguised self. I'm gonna disguise myself as unzug, and I'm gonna put on me somewhere where everyone who works with us would know it, but the yester dusters wouldn't recognize it. That same banner image that Fibbs made for the Goblin Games of Luf. Okay.

And so I'm going to disguise myself as Unzug and come upstairs. So tell me about this, because you have a feat now. I have a feat now that we have gone to level four. So my feet is actor, which gave me a plus one in charm and I now have advantage on deception and performance checks if I'm trying to pass myself off as a different person. I could mimic the speech of another person or any sounds made by other creatures that I've heard. Wow. Amazing. So this will be

very different disguised self than fifth try. You have this one over head. Yeah, you disguise yourself you look exactly like Eun-ZUG minus the little brooch of Luf's seven guns and a clipboard that you've got on your Okay, yeah, you can just do that. Also, if I'm- Un-Zug, it's you, you're back. Crandall is completely fooled. Crandall, world.

Dude, act like you've been here before. I will, my lord. I mean, yes, Busy, of course, it's you. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh, yeah, it's having a flashback. Yeah, who's a .

Additionally, Busy's gonna make it look like she's got the luckstone. All of those things, you're. you're just able to do, you are a super actor, you have all your props. Awesome. That's your action, you can move. And I go upstairs. And you go upstairs.

So what you see upstairs is a tree that somehow isn't closing off the trap door. Is that also? But it is a huge tree, 40 foot tall, just fallen over, taking up a lot of space. You don't see Tippy anywhere. You see a couple of skeletons and all three of the yester-dusters.

This is going to turn to the yester-dusters and go, I see that you have a tree. the goals I have set for you. Busy opens her hand and shows that she has the fake leg stone. Thank you very much for your contributions. Please send the invoice to your usual places. And you may leave Fittendel. Kathy goes, oh, well, we haven't quite finished off

this last task that you set for us. Leave that to me. It would give me so much pleasure. Okay, so she's going to, she's, no. Okay, so she says, well, if you say so, and you were going to give us the luck stone? Was that it? No, I've decided to keep the luck stone.

So we're just done? Yes, thank you. Great work, everybody. I'm calling it, it's an early off day. Just go ahead and enjoy the rest of the day with your families. You'll get paid. You are full hours. But as there is no work to do with me,

there would be no reason for you to be here. Okay, so I mean you can see Kathy's just like confused like okay and and I guess we'll just get paid by the scythe and Well, it's been an honor working for you and Baruth is there and let's see what she thinks Baruth is on board Togunook however Togunook is a sorcerer and so he's also on fire He is on fire and he can't move I don't believe you I can't see it just

Right, right, right, right, right, right. Right, right, right. Well, he's gonna say, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, why all the theatrics of leaving through a dimension door when you're just going to return from the depths of the basement? There was something I needed in the basement. What was it?

I had to go and get something that is important part of our planet. And there is a man down there who has betrayed me, and I wanted to make sure he was down there for further punishment. punishment at a later time. And you hear it Crandall go, well, it's true, I'm being very punished right now. Oh my God. Trying to help out.

Yes, and he sounds like he's being punished, but maybe that he could dial it back and be it. Okay, the gnome's gonna roll a perception check. Actually, actually, actually. Does he check against me? Or against Crandall? Oh yeah. That guy doesn't sound punished.

Because he's a sorcerer and because Crandall's just a real idiot, Um, natural 20. Oh, my insight, but it is versus your deception. And I do have, okay, I'm gonna take my advantage because I didn't like that roll. And what did you get? I got a natural 20. Damn, okay, yeah, so that's a 16.

Okay, 16. I will say while he's on fire, it's gonna be really difficult to understand him, but he is clocking that you are not who you say you are, but he is also screaming on fire. Yeah, how does he says, um, uh, uh,

What does he sound like? Oh, no, how do you do? Oh, he's in pain. Oh, he sounds like... So that's going to be difficult, but I'm gonna say... I'm offended. I'm gonna say, Kathy and Beruther might skip their next turns. Okay, excellent, Vizzi, absolutely insane.

Picardy went, now, the environment actually has a turn. And the ground is shaking underneath you. The lava is growing up from the ground and it shakes the tiles underneath you, breaking it into stone slabs. It hasn't risen all the way up yet, but you can tell that these stone slabs, some of them are falling below you

and the other ones you're able to ride on. I guess the tree itself is going to come in contact with the magma and it is going to take some damage. But you're a tree. You have a lot of hit points. I'm going to say you don't have any of the... Yeah, what's my H-tree? Your H-tree.

No threshold. but 100 hit points. Okay. 100 hit points. You are vulnerable to fire damage. You are vulnerable to fire damage. My one weakness. You have the irregular immunities.

Like you can't be poisoned, stuff like that, but you're... Absolutely. You are vulnerable to fire damage. But anytime the magma will touch you, that will be two D6 fire damage. Okay. But let's see if you all stay on your slabs, at least for now.

So everyone roll a dexterity saving throw. Every saving throw I'm gonna have you do is a DC-13. DC 13. DC 13, another deal. Dirty 20. Dirty 20, perfect. 17. 17.

So you're able to stay on your slabs, like the ground is rearranging itself underneath you, but you find a nice solid chunk of tile that you're able to stand on. Fibs, 2D6 damage as a tree. That is going to be six damage. You take 12. 12 fire damage. Let's see if these other guys are going to do okay. No.

No. Yes. Okay. So Kathy and Barutha are either. each gonna take six fire damage. Two D6, I think I said. No, for them you said three. Did I?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Okay, yeah, yeah, I heard three. Sounds like three. Okay, so they're taking their damage, but they're able to find a slab anyway and stand on it. Taganuk is standing on his slab as well. That's the magma rising. We are at the top of round two,

and that matters because I am tracking the marked. The Mark's arrival. Tippy. Okay, so can you refresh me on everybody's geography? Yeah, you and Kathy are at the entrance of this enormous room, about a 50-foot radius, and 100-foot tall, too. The dwarf is engaged in combat with a skeleton and other skeletons left alone. Unzug is present, but you know it's busy.

Crandall has made his way up. Oh, God, Krant is gonna be on your slab, sorry. Yeah, sorry. Phibs is a tree in burning. The gnome is in a web and burning. I think that covers everybody. Oh, Lufus fine. Lufus is with those and shooting webs at gnomes.

Okay, so the best part about Eldridge Cannon is I can use a spell slot to bring it back. Eldridge Cannon didn't die though. It did die. Eldridge Cannon didn't, no, Robotypy died. No, no, it was the Eldridge Cannon. The Eldridge Cannon shot the blast. That's why the little eyes went bling, bling.

Okay, awesome. Robotypy is still around. I just have not used Robotypy. Well, I'm glad you're keeping track of it. Great, okay, so your Eldridge cannon. So I take my action to quickly whittle a new gun, thinking about what I learned in the goo realm, and like really bringing my imagination to fruition.

And slowly but surely, the eyes blink again, but it looks a little bit different. It's not the same gun tippy that used to exist. Now it has a little angry eyebrows on top, right? And this will be a new type of gun tippy, and I'm gonna call it. him flame tippy because now it's a flamethrower. Oh my god.

And now with my turn, I've summoned it and with my bonus action, I'm going to shoot Flame tippy at, you guessed it, Kathy. And what am I rolling a deck saving throw? Kathy's pretty dexterous. That'll be, ooh, a 21. 21, you still take half, and that's gonna be 2D8 to fire damage. I rolled 2.8, so you take eight damage.

Eight damage. Okay. Oh, plus my proficiency bonus. So that's 19, so half of that is nine. Nine. Okay, great. So Kathy's just stabbed you with a dagger, and then out of nowhere, you just have this, like,

insane gun that's semi-sensient in your hands that just like, like Piccaro did, just blast her with fire. She's able to do a fun back roll and dodge, but she does get in the range of some of the flames that come out of that. Amazing. You have your gun back. And she's not on fire or anything, right?

No, no, no. That's magic fire. So question about the tree. If the tree gets a heel, does the tree heal or does fibs heal? My inclination was that it was going to be hit troints, and then I would go back to- Right, like a drood, like a- HP, like my HP pool restores

when I exit the form. Well, y'all don't know that yet. Look, as a wizard with an 18 intelligence, that is my reading of the situation. That is true, that is true. Okay, so Gun Tipi is going to go ahead and shoot at the same target I were shooting at. So I'm gonna do a force strike from Robo Tippy at Kathy.

All right, yeah, shoot Kathy. The homoculus being an extension of sort of Tippy, does the homoculus get the lucky stuff or no? No. Okay, that's fine. So then that's gonna be, he needs reaction. No.

Okay, well, does a, what else? What else? Does a 15 hit? How many other gadgets? F-15 does not hit. Okay, all right. So gun- it's a gas and gun-ver scimitars?

Rootippy wifts, flame-tipy hit. Can be your fucking character sheet? I'm gonna set it on fire. And then like, do you know. Artificers are cool. Oh, make me wanna die. All right, Phibs, your turn. Okay, since no one had come to Fibs yet.

Oh, no one had come to Fibbs, but the gnome is really close to you. Okay. Yeah. Well, this is, this is great. Okay, great. So here is what Fibbs is going to do in this order. First, oh, I forgot to roll to see if Loof recharges.

Loof recharges. Loof says, Terra for all, and she turns her attention away from Togunuk towards Kathy, who she sees is attacking her Unki-Tippy. Oh yeah. And she pulls up that gat that he made for and blast with webs.

Okay, webs, Kathy, you're gonna need to do a strength saving throw again. Oh, wait, so, so it's an, her range attack, then she can make a strength check to be unrestrained. To not just be restrained. Okay, so go ahead and roll a hit. Okay.

We've been doing web all the wrong way or maybe. That's a natural one. A natural one. Okay, sorry, Louf, you didn't hit. I'm not used to, so many people needing my resources. I'm not getting tired, but I am getting angry. Getting a little cranky there? Little cranky, little hungy.

Need a nap? Or a human smoothie. You can drink Kathy later. Yeah, there's a Kathy right in front of you. So just paint a picture for me. There's magma by me if somewhere would come by me. Yes. Okay.

So, Phibs in this tree form, he's just thinking to himself, Come a little bit closer. Come just a little bit closer. And- Greetings adventurers. Spring has sprung here in Los Angeles. And that means it's a brief period where it's only 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees.

Quince.com slash critical role. Phibbs manifests a spectral version that seems similar to his mage hand, but it's completely invisible. And it appears behind Taganuk. He is telekinetic now, and he pushes Togunuk towards him and the magma. Oh, my gosh. Was that your feet or what was that? I took the telekinetic feet.

That's so awesome. Oh my gosh, and he is restrained, so is that an attack? The target must succeed on a strength saving throw, DC-14, or be moved five feet toward or away from you. Okay, all right, so he has a plus zero. I'll say. And he rolled a two. Oh, so he's pushed.

He is shoved five feet forward and hopefully directly into the mag. He is in the magna. He is in the magma. No problem at all. So he's gonna take two D6 of fire damage. He's still restrained. That's 10 fire damage. This gnome, y'all screwed this gnome up.

So as that happens, he hears erupting from the trunk of this tree, the canopy rustles, and he hears a voice say, you really ought them be more careful. You never know what kind of snakes are in the grass. And using an action, Phibbs turns into a giant constrictor snake before his eyes. Oh my God.

Okay, yeah, the tree that has been taking up just many square feet of this room just shrinks into a very large constrictor snake. A huge constrictor snake. A huge, oh gosh, okay, even worse. That means you're 15 feet by 15 feet. Yeah. Still slightly smaller than the tree. But Taganuk's in the magma, like he's restrained, he's in a web, he's burning, and he's kind of screaming.

What happened? Um... That's, it's a simple use of the staff of Robert. Yeah, that was amazing. Okay, so that was Phibs. Busy, it's your turn. I'm gonna turn back to the Yester Dusters and go, Oh, it looks as though your friend needs to get out of here before things get bad.

You might want to take him when you go. And Kathy says, oh, yes, that will be the very next thing I do, is get him out of this magma. You wouldn't be able to help us. Would you, Eunzug, our employer, who we've done so much for? Yes. So then, busy as Eunzug walks over. over to the gnome.

And then while trying to make it look like she's trying to like heal or do something as Eun-Zuk. Oh, this is such complicated magic. She takes the ring off of his finger. Oh, yeah. Without them being able to see it. Without them being, okay, so slide of hand. Oh, gosh.

That is 21. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just turn and they go, Unzug, are you so merciless? Oh, my darling, didn't you recognize that when you began working with me? Now is your last chance. Take your friend and leave. I cannot promise what will happen, and I am here to tear this down. Wait, are you threatening us if we stay?

You're going to serve us the same fate as our gnome? Do you want to find out? If you are on the side of these skeletons and goblins, that's what we will sing throughout the realm. I am on the side of... Persuasion, persuasion. Also pay no attention to the giant snake. Yeah, seriously.

Well, maybe they think the snake's with me. Remember, it's my sthath. That's true. 15. 15. She says, we're the yester does, and we never leave a man down. You'll have to go through us if you're going to just let Togunuk die. I still have an action left, right?

Yes, yes. So with the action that I have left. Your bonus action was taking the ring of Sigbreda, which. Actually, it's really pretty good. What's that ring do? What's that ring do? Yeah, what's that ring do?

Okay, okay. It doesn't require attunement, but I'll just tell you now, when you're struck by a melee attack, you can either ward yourself by sacrificing your own hit points to increase your AC, a maximum of plus five. Or when you're struck by a melee attack, you can deal necrotic damage to your attacker equal to half of the damage dealt,

very similar to what the Payneite Stone was able to do. Okay, but it does require attunement. It does require attunement. Okay, so I'm going to, cast dissonant whispers. Okay. I have given you the opportunity to leave unharmed. This is your final warning.

And that's to Kathy? Yeah. All right, we hate Kathy. Got it, got it. So I'm going to save wisdom saving through. That's a seven? No way. Nope.

Okay. Okay. And so then that is 3D6 psychic damage. Wow. Poor Kathy. That's nine. Okay, nine damage, and then I have to run away from you? Yeah, you gotta run, you gotta go.

And I just have to get as far away from you as I can. Yeah, you just move as far as your speed will allow. Okay, great, that'll happen on my turn. It's Piccar's turn. She did her burning last thing. Oh, she already did, yeah, so let's see, let's see if she can do that again, recharge, it does not recharge. She's just gonna go and stab the gnome. He looks like, he's looking worse for the way.

looking worse for the way. This is bad. This is four bastards. Somehow, okay, she misses him, but mostly she's just trying to not get magma on herself. So she misses. It is the magma's turn. Oh no. Bizzy.

Ah, yeah, magma. Busy, will you roll a D6? One. Okay, a one. So the magma rises. You're rising up through this chimney flu that you've found yourselves in, and you're up many feet, about 40 feet in the air now. Everyone's on their magma slabs.

You have not left you. the room just yet. I'm gonna say. I was in the room. Yeah, yeah. So everyone is actually able to be on a magma slab, but you have no access to the exit at this point. Okay, that's fine.

Everything's rising in the air, but everyone's on their slab except for the gnome. I don't know if he's gonna make it, but he still could be removed. As it rises, the magma like bursts up. It's like little shoots of fire that burst up. So everyone make another dexterity DC-13 save to stay on your slabs.

The car. Yes. Problem? Oh, bad news for Snake. Oh no. Actually, it looks like Kathy and Barutha both do not stay on their slabs. Damn.

Picara does, though. Okay, great. Anyone else? 14. Perfect. 20. Okay, perfect. That's a four-for-old snakey boy. Okay, a four.

Yeah, so every one of those people, you're gonna take five points of damage and you're gonna spend your turn getting back up on your next turn. Okay. And Crandall's still on mine? I'm not rolling for Crandall anymore. He's gonna stay alive the rest of the time.

Crandall's legendary reaction. Yeah, yeah. It's just knowing what Astonis is sticking with it. Well, he's a non-combatant, so I'm just, he's got some hit points in case he takes damage, but other than that. Not gonna, he did throw an ink pot. I'm just saying. Yeah, he did, he did cause a distraction. All right, he did something. The most heroic thing he'll ever do. Um, Tippy.

Yes. It's your turn. So they've all... This is the top of round three now. So they've all fallen off of their slab. Yeah, they're in lava. They came in... thinking they'd whoop ass, and they've just been set on fire,

webbed, mugged. And then they've all fallen into the magma. And tricked by, yeah, tricks to thinking that. Well, I mean, look, they would have attacked, but Eunzv was there. Yeah, look, they have not been rolling well, but they are pretty powerful beings. Or maybe this is just poetic justice

because you have come so far from the episode one. when you encountered them. I, I, you hear a weird, like, silent conversation between Flame Tippy and Tippy and, yeah, I mean, that's brutal, but yeah, go for it. Yeah, I mean, whatever, whatever, man. Yeah, that's kind of sick of you, but okay.

And so Flame Tippy sort of waddles with its weird little chicken legs, waddles up to the edge where Kathy is, and puts out a hand to save Kathy, right? Okay. And I want Kathy to reach the hand. Yeah.

I want their little fingertips to touch and I want the eyes to almost settle from being angry to like, oh. And then I want it to blast fire in the Kathy's face. Oh my God. Okay, yes. So that's gonna be a deck save.

And maybe I don't know, did they have disadvantage for trying to swim out of lava? No, no, we're not gonna do disadvantage. Okay, well, they have to make a deck save. Look, it's not like water, they're not like, They're more like standing and their ankles are burning. Yeah, they have six seconds trying to get back. Yeah, they just lost their balance steps off.

The magma isn't, it's more plasma than it is liquid. Okay, oh, natural 20. So she does, she does somehow, yeah, jump out of her, jump out of the way of this canon, because she has learned a lesson. She will still take that. She will still take that. Eight and seven, oh my God,

15. 15 plus my, proficiency is, it's gonna make it 18. 18, so nine damage again. So this evil, evil little, booger, like as far as she's concerned, she's a gallantling in this little machine. She thinks she's gonna get help from it.

It retracts his hands and blast her one more time. I mean, Kathy's never felt so much heat in all of her life. And- How she's looking? She's still alive, like again, these are hearty adventurers. However, her skin is blackened, her hair is singed, her eyebrows are gone. Great. Yeah, not great.

She's not looking great. So Flamedipie just blasted Kathy. Kathy sort of dodges out the way, still takes a little bit of fire damage. And I walk over to Kathy and be like, I'm so sorry about him. He's just absolutely the worst. Here, let me help you out of that lava.

No one should go that way. Okay, deception. She's not a complete idiot. Great, that's gonna be three. Three. So on the third one, thank God. Deception's going to be 16. A 16, no.

That's not gonna be enough. Yeah, she's not gonna take your hand at all. It doesn't matter because I was never gonna help her. Tippy goes, and Tiffy goes, sight? Blast her goblin gun, point blank. Okay, well let's give you hit. Okay, trying to hit. Let's say that's three rolls to hit.

You gave him the luckstone. That's a luckstone. The luckstone for you. I know, I know. It's a good magic item. And it's going to be 24. to hit. Yeah, that'll hit, that'll hit.

Dear God. Okay, so it's gonna be seven plus four, right? So that's 11, plus one from the scope, so that's 12, and plus one from repeating shot, and that's 13. Amazing, okay, this one hits her. I mean, like this woman is bleeding, she does have burns on her skin,

some of her leather armor is dissolving around the heat and the magma and the smoke, and you just shoot her right in the gut. I mean, it is point blank. And TIPIA at this point, screaming. He's just like, does it hurt just like you hurt Maxwell? And she goes, oh, oh yeah, please, please, look, we're just trying to leave now. We're not even trying to hit.

Did he say please? Did he say please? Did Maxwell beg for his life? If he did, I do not understand him. He's an ooze. He doesn't have any languages. He had feelings, even though they were problematic and old-timey. What? Are you trying to teach me a lesson right now?

Yes. In the midst of a volcano erupting? 100%. Okay. Togganuk is going to try to get his voice. but onto a slab. The webs themselves have dissolved. Thank God at this point.

I think he can just climb onto the slab, but he's near, who's he near? A giant snake, perhaps? That might incur an attack of opportunity. I think that only, yeah, I think if he's going to get himself back onto the slab, he's no longer restrained, this poor gnome looks awful. He's about to look worse.

Okay, so he's gonna climb back onto the slab and he can just do it, but I will say that 100% incurs in a tackle of opportunity, go for it, constrict your snake. That's a natural 20. Damn! Oh! Okay, dice and nice, you roll them twice.

Using my bite attack, okay? Oh man, what's that gonna be? That's gonna be 46. What? Okay, that is 19 points of piercing snake damage. Oh no. Okay, okay, oh no. And he ain't got his rank no more.

Yeah, as he climbs back on, he's just an easy mark at this point, and you sink your teeth right into his torso. He's a smaller creature, so your fangs just kind of, they hit stone. They go all the way through him, and they pull out, and he's just left with gaping holes in his torso. It's going to be hard for him to actually stand up. He's still alive, but he's like, oh,

what have he done? No, no. Umzug, help. Umzoo. He's barely hanging on. He's barely hanging on. So, So my familiar, I'm just gonna say Robotipi's holding his action.

Okay. And he was just waiting to see who's been hurt bad the most. And so he's like, he's doing like a little robot scan. Because he's, by the way, can fly. He's 30 feet in the air. You gotta read the sheet. Speed 20 feet, fly 30 feet. By the way.

Damn 10 looks three, let's go. He's flying in the air like, Like a drone. Like a drone. And he sees Tanya being bitten by a giant snake. He also wants to fly down and extend his hand. Like it's the same exact trip. Okay.

And Toggin is that you? And even though the Robotipi can't speak, he gives a weird like wrestling. Like it's over for you. And Blas Togginu square in the face. Okay, let's see if he does. Talking of him does have an armor class, so. Does a 16 hit?

It does hit, yeah. Okay, so that's gonna be, Oh no. That's gonna be six points of damage. Oh, six, ah, yeah, that's not quite it. Yeah, he does get blasted in the face. I mean, look, he's missing an eye. His innards are pouring out of the holes

of the snake made in him. He's standing up, but he's still alive. He might get to do something cool next. It actually is his turn. So. What's your move? So sorry. Oh my God, what is he gonna do?

What is talking to? He's so, so, almost it. And does he take magma damage at the start of his turn or the end of his turn? Well, he's no longer on the, he's no longer in the magma. He climbed up. He got that's right. That's right.

That's right. We get straight up snorked, dude. How? Actually, what he is gonna do is not that impressive. He's gonna misty step to Baruthas slab and hide behind her. And no one is really around Baruth right now except for the skeleton. And it is Baruth's turn.

Okay. She is going to launch herself at Tippy, the goblin. No, but she does. Oh, she has an athletics. So I'll be honest, she got, with the athletics, she has plus five athletics. So she does get an 11, but I don't think that's going to be enough to, wait, she, She, no, that's not gonna be enough to get her, she's not gonna be able to gain her footing.

I think she's gonna be able to, no, she doesn't. She falls into the, oh. There's no way. She rolls her 11. She got, ah, ah, ah, okay, so she's actually looking the best out of all of the yester-dusters, but she lands a little bit short and is in the magma, but eventually is gonna be able to get back onto the slab with you. She's right next to you.

And I guess that means she's also next to Kathy. And I guess that's also means she leaves poor Togunuk open to attacks. It's Kathy's turn. She's gonna swipe at you with her rapier twice. Okay. So you could try. She sure is. And she got out of the lava?

33. You're right. No, she needs to climb up. She needs to climb up. Okay, okay. She is able to get up onto the slab. Yeah, you can take a reaction for a- No, definitely I'm going to shoot her again. You can't, an opportunity tech must be a melee attack.

Oh, opportunity tag must be a melee attack. Pistol whip. Yes. Yeah, I'm gonna try to pistol whip her as she comes up. And that's gonna, oh, I wrote three times. It doesn't even matter. So 19 plus. Just the regret in Amy's face.

Every time you remember, you roll three times. He is incredible. The luck's down. It's 18, so 18 to hit. 18 to hit? It does. It does. Okay, so that's gonna be,

what would be the damage for pistol whipping somebody. We'll say it's similar, it's similar to a dagger. So 1d4, 1d4 plus your strength modifier. Okay, that's a minus one, so it'll hurt a little less. Okay, just 1 d4 then. No, no, you're not gonna minus one on damage. That's three damage.

Three damage, okay, and it is, it's piercing damage. Okay, she already is bleeding, burned, no eyebrows. So yeah, you're just able to stop her. That being said, she is up on the slab with you and she's gonna make two rapier attacks, and you better, yes, okay. Okay, so does a 22 hit? Oh, it would if I didn't just cast shield as a reaction.

You can't, so you can only have one reaction and you took it to do an opportunity attack. Okay, I gotta take the damage. Take the damage. How many freaking, okay, so the second one does not hit, the first one does hit. Okay, how much? Take your damage.

What if I told you I have the luxe? Take it, the voice feel. You can't get past my voice feel. Take it down. Do you damage like a good little, goblin. I don't want to. Yeah, I bet you don't.

Crandle, save me. Nine piercing damage. Just to rape your dust slide right into you and you do start bleeding. Finally. Okay, so that's Kathy. Fibbs. So Fibbs must slither his way up to the slab. Oh yes, he's got to get back on the slab.

So what are we going to do? That is a, it's a DC-13 dexterity. He's a snake. He's a deck. All right, that's a 17, so. Fibbs slithers back up, his. His, how far away is everyone from Phibs? Is there anyone within like 10 feet?

Togunuk would have been, but he, he missed he stepped away. We've got Bruce and Kathy over there. No. Okay, how far from the edge is Togunuk? Like from the edge of death? No, no, from the edge of the slab. He's not on your slab anymore.

No, I know. You say he's like, 30, you say he's like within 30 feet of me? I would say so. Okay, how far from the edge of the slab? Well, each slab is 10 foot by 10 foot, so he's in a corner. He's easy.

Okay, so the snake imagines with his little snake brain, what if I had a hand? And it's just like a snake body with a little hand for a face. Wait, can you cast spells as a snake? This is telekinesis, it's a feat and a bonus action. I am not casting a spell. I'm just built different.

Oh, I love it. Oh, it hurts us. Okay, okay, okay. So you see a little psychic outline of a snake, but instead of a face it has a hand, and it sneaks up in front of Togunuk and goes, boop, and tries to push him off the slab. DC-14 strength, please.

You got it, okay, come on Togunuk. I'm kind of rooting for this guy. Okay, so an 11 on the die. That does not, that doesn't clear. It's not enough, it's certainly not enough. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, he has a plus zero strength, so. Into the lava he goes.

You take your snake, your reptilian snake with a humanoid arm that boops him. Instead of the snake face, it's just a hand. Oh, the snake face, I see. Imagine my hand, but with a snake body, instead of an arm. Oh, okay, got it. So just like slither, slither,

because they don't have hands. It's what he dreams of. He's a snake. Yeah, he's a snake. He loves. He loves. He's like, time to make history. And you do, you just pop him one.

And he was already like completely out of it. And he just topples right now. into the magma. Look, he had two, he had two hit points. Does he suffer? Yes, he says, no, the yustine's for life, and he does fall into the magma, yeah, for, oh, I rolled two sixes on those.

He only had two hit points left, and Y'all Togunuk is down for the count. He sinks into the magma on his turn, and he just his one hand is left as it sinks, and he does a thumbs up. A very joyful gesture for the yester-dusters, eternally. That was for me personally.

Okay, Togunuk. You hear the snake say, ashes to ashes, dusters to dusters. So good, so good. Busy, it's your turn. Where are Kathy and Bertha? Barutha. They're both with me.

They're both on tippy slab. Yeah, it's a crowded slab over there. Damn, okay. So yeah, once again, I'm going to sit If you have a method of getting out, this would be your chance. Look at what happened to your friend. Oh, no. Is it enough?

Oh no. Oh, no. You switch sides so fast. You're not even threatening the other guys. You're just threatening us. Because they already know they are done for. They don't look so done for. You already know you are done for.

I'm done for. I have no will to live. His. It just seems as though you help. helping them. I am not helping either of these people. And so as a bonus action, Busy is going to turn to Tippy and as Eun-ZUk say, You are nothing but just beneath my feet.

And she raises her hand up, making it look as though I am casting a spell at Tippy. I'm actually going to be, it's going to be a dart that's going to Crack a Kamen Jack margarita and taste your escape. It's America's number one for a reason.

But Redfin isn't just built for endless browsing. It's built to help you find an open. Own a home. With agents who close twice as many deals, when you find the one,

you've got a real shot at getting it. Get started at redfin.com. Own the dream. Going to hit Bertha, and then I'm going to do my sneak attack and get a second hit. First thing is you're going to roll a slide of hand, or I will say this is master deception.

So instead of slide of hand, you can do a deception. Okay, then I will do a deception rule, which means I get advantage, thank God. Ooh, thank God. And that is a natural 20. And with my deception, that's a 26. Oh my god, okay, okay, awesome. The snake is convinced you are casting a spell.

Yeah, the snake everyone is. Okay, now rolled a hit. Okay. They really believe you. Yes. It just means they're not gonna be attacking you. Ah, that's a 15. A 15 to hit Baritha.

Oh, that's not going to hit. That isn't gonna hit? No. Okay. No, these are some heavily armored. That sucks. But also how does it feel? Yeah, but the good news is, so the side of hand or the deception role means that they're not going to attack you now.

They still believe... Yeah, because I was trying to attack Tippy. Yes, yes. Now I kind of think it because you missed, that I'm like... Well, dude. Yeah. What's going on? Oh, look at all of the pain.

He can't even concentrate and understand what's happening to talk him. All right, Eun-Zug, you're all good in my book this. That's all it took. Just one attack. As long as he didn't hit me with exactly one dart. One dart. Busy, Pekara. Where was she?

She was on the slab next to Phibs because she did the burning hands on Taganuk. Okay, well, she does have a gun, so she's going to... You better believe she has to. You better believe it. Okay, so she's going to try to attack... Who is she attacking? Not Togunuk. Actually, Kathy does look the worst, so she's going to go for the easy shot, I think.

All right. Two in the back, babe. One in the chest. Six plus six, a dirty 20. Perfect. Okay, so she does six damage to Kathy and she says, Dippy, this one's for you.

Woo! And that's how her gun sounds. Oh, that's how cute little gun sounds. And she smacks Kathy right in the leg and does six points of damage. It is the magma's turn. Okay. Busy, will you roll a D6 please?

Five. Okay, so the magma does raise up, but it's not just that that is endangering you. Actually, the walls are crumbling around you, too, and gems are falling, that type of thing. So everyone, you're going to roll two dexterity saving throws. The first dexterity saving throw, you're trying to get out of the way of some boulders that are falling on top of you. Oh, yeah, Togunuk's dead. Kathy saves. First deck save is 21.

Okay, great. Phibs? Four. Okay. For the boulders. 16 on both. on both. Okay, so no, no, no, don't roll the second one yet,

but no, no, that's good. We'll keep that. Okay, so for the Boulder's, fibs, you're the only one taking all the damage. You're gonna take seven damage. Everyone else takes three bludgeoning damage. Wow, that really sucks for Kathy. Kathy's on our last legs, just so you know.

And really, it's just some stones have bruised in places that were already burned. Now, second dexterity saving through. With all the stuff falling from the ceiling, you're gonna be trying to stay on your slab again. So no problem. That's gonna be a 22. 21.

A 16. Natural 20. Oh, okay. Perfect. On the slab. Y'all, Kathy is trying to dodge, but she's just getting pummeled with even just small pebbles. And as she's trying to dodge, she loses her footing, falls into the magma, and the last bit of her that is sentient and has consciousness burns away as she is engulfed in the magma flames. Kathy is now dead and being swallowed.

Ewe. Who has the circlet? Kathy does. Yeah, Kathy does. Okay. Where's the circlet? It's on her head. lava? Like how fast is she going down?

Yeah, so no, she, I would say she's not sinking, yeah, it's not like water. She's not like fully taken down. So yeah, I guess you would have one turn to try and grab it from her. Great. The only thing these NPCs are good for, the magic items.

Perfect. Well, correct. So, Brutham made it. Okay, but Kathy didn't. She took 11 fire damage. So we're at the top of round four. And at the top of round four. You hear in the distance the woo-woo-woo-woo-woo of a ship, an airship that you're used to.

There are two airships. One is the Stag's Horn. One is mischief. And you don't see them yet, but you hear them flying above the caldera hole at the top of the chimney. The marks are here. Piccaro says, it worked. It worked. B.C., it did.

Babe, can you contact them? Is there a way you could talk to them? No. Okay. You're fine. No, they just come and follow the whistle. I don't. Yeah, it's all right.

Great. So actually, at the top of the round, Tippy, you're up. Okay, so first thing's first, Robotype. I want him to fly down to Melting Kathy and grab the circlet off of her head. Yeah, I think he's just able to do that. And then I want him to fly over to Unzug and drop it on Unzug's head.

You now have the circlet of Ministara, Ronnie's circlet. I'm gonna say I double move. So that'll be his turn, he won't attack. And now I grab Flame Tippy, and I point both my guns at Baritha, and I go, Say it. Yes, they're Dusters for life. No, the right answer was sorry.

Oh. Okay, okay, so you fire your gun and your Eldridge Cannon. Yeah, yeah, both of them at once, for sure. Yeah, great, okay. So the Eldridge Cannon goes first as the bonus action. You make the deck save. Yeah, I do make the deck save, golly. Ooh, nice, 18.

All right, they'll take half damage from the flames. You'll take four damage. Okay. And then I'm shooting with my gun. Okay, see if one of these is a crit. Nope. That's gonna be a 24 to hit. Yeah, that hits.

Okay. 11 damage. Yeah, she looks burned and bruised and bloody, and she goes, whoa! And Sundaros lore is a goblin doing with a gun. Good question. Click, quack. Okay, awesome Tiffy.

Barutha's turn. Is she on a slab with you? I cannot remember. Yes, she is. Brutha's on the slab with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she can finally, finally do what she was born to do and make a couple of Warhammer attacks.

And she pulls out her big Warhammer and takes two swings right at you. So does a 13 hit? No. No. But this does a 24 hit. It would if I didn't take a reaction now to cast shield. So Tippy preparing for battle on his level up has learned the artificial ability shield.

And it sort of looks like him just holding his breath and this weird like green aura kind of just pops out from him and just it looks like it's made of goo. Oh no. And protects him for a turn and gives me plus five to my AC. So 24 doesn't hit. Oh, shit. It still hits.

Yeah. But it looks cool. It is really cool. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to stand by that choice for a whole turn. The Warhammer just smashes through the goo. It's like slowly going through the viscous goo, but then it makes its way through.

The slow hammer penetrates the shield. Okay, so you take 10. 10 bludgeoning damage. Tippy. What did I think? Barutha. Kathy, oh, cross out Kathy. She's dead.

Phibs and then busy. Phibs. Eyes, this wretched yesteruster beating on his friend. And in his snake form lunges, a giant, huge constrictor snake, lunges for Barutha with one word on its mind. Constrict.

Amazing. Okay, so you're gonna have to leap across to this. This is gonna be just an athletics check. Okay. As with everything in this fight, we'll do it at DC-13. Right in the magma. Brother, brother, brother. Oh, no, brother. What have you done?

Flown too close to the sun. That's a six. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so you are short, you do fall short. You fall right into the magma. Ow. Yeah, sorry, you're gonna, oh, man, only three fire damage. Oh, man.

Stop saying, oh, man. No, I mean, look, everything's been going so well for all of you. But yeah, you're not able to get there. You leap across, you're in the magma. That is your, what, your movement, I suppose. I guess you could still take an action, but you're not going to be able to move this turn. You're going to be stuck in the magma at the moment.

Okay. Yeah. Well, how far away am I from Baritha? I mean, you leave. Maybe, yeah, you are huge. So five or ten feet away. Oh, it's a cool thing that I... Reach 10?

I have a reach 10, so instead I go through a little bit of a mite. Okay, okay, okay. That's horrifying. Extremely ball out of the lava. I don't think this hits though, that's a 14. A 14 does not hit. Damn. And then as my bonus action, I think, you come to me.

And I try to push Barutha with my snake telekinesis. Oh my gosh. Telekinesis. Okay, so that's a strength. DC 14. DC 14, I've got a plus three and I got natural 20, natural 20. This ability's busted.

I know, I regret things. I asked you for input and you said, you should do this one. I definitely did. I really think that's where Fibb should go. Me sewing, me reaping. The difference between y'all at level three and level four is as it should though.

Gigantic. As it should. Yeah. So anyway, yes, you're in the love You're gonna need to use your movement to climb onto a slab for your next turn, but busy, it's your turn. And Bertha is still on the same slab as to be.

Yeah. Don't forget, you have the circlet and the ring now. Yeah, but they need to be attuned, right? They do need to be attuned. Damage. Are you attuning to any of them? I'm gonna attuned to the circlet because of my bay into resting.

So. Oh. What's a dice for it? What's a die? On your turn, you're like trying to do all these actions and also attuned to the circlet, you take 13 psychic damage. Oh my God.

As the circlet is lined with sapphires on each quadrant, and the sapphires grow needles and stick into your head. Okay. Okay, so as you're attuned to it yet, but, uh... Okay, but I still get like my regular turn. You absolutely get your regular turn. Okay, so I'm going to, I'm just gonna use one of my darts, and I'm gonna go after Barutha.

Okay, all right. And yep, still near Tippy, so that's a sneak attack, which gives you that extra D6. So does a 13 hit. A 13 does not hit. Damn. That doesn't hit, so instead, as a bonus, I'm going to cast Bartik Inspiration on Tippy.

Okay. Nice, okay. Is if you needed more power. I'm gonna drop the pretense by now, because it no longer really seems to matter. Okay. She's already, I'm assuming she already saw that I tried to attack her, right?

Oh, Baritha with the dart. Sure, yeah. Because I didn't do it sneaky. I just did it regular. Yeah, it just looks like a real piece of garbage. Yeah. And so I'm going to, just Bartik inspiration, you were like.

I wish that you were like the sun I'd never had. I meant it when I said that you did a good job with a goblin name. Even though Tippy knows it's busy, Tipy goes, really? Emotionally, like, really is effective. It feels inspired. Oh, sweet-hike.

Go big tips. No big tips. Yes. Okay, you are inspired, Tippy. That'll be a plus D6 for you, and that is Piccarus' turn. She's gonna get her gun out. Danielle, will you roll a D6?

Well, I don't know what it is. Just say, it's five. I don't know. This is Boulder's falling down on you. We're gonna make two Dexterity. Boulders. 13 saving throws. F-f-.

That is a, so Baritha does not make it. What are they? DC 13. Okay. 20, 30, 20. Oh my gosh. That is 14 for Snakey-lees. Okay.

15. 15, perfect. Y'all take six points of bludgeoning damage. Brutha will. Friot. Yeah. Oh, me too. Well.

Yeah. Tipi pointing his guns, he looks really menacing. and he looks up and he goes, really? And a rock falls on his head and he is knocked out. Okay. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Sweet, okay. It also hits Pekara.

Now everyone make a save to see if you can stay on your slabs. What happens when I'm unconscious? You start making death saving throws. But I don't need a role to stay on the slab. No, you're just on the slab. You're right. You fell down on the slab and it hit you. 18 for old snakey boy.

Yep. 14. Perfect. Everyone's still on their slabs. It is raising higher and higher. You're about, at this point, 150 feet higher than you were. You're up the chimney now. It's going to be just a matter of time before you're blasted through the roof. It is the top of round five. At this point, as you look up, you are able to see that these airships are above you. Tippy, make a death saving throat. So before I do that, I'm going to have my homoculus. Do they stay up when you're dead? I don't know that they do. Let's take a look. It doesn't say, but what do you? What do you want?

Absolutely not. Got it. That's fair. No. You know to be fair? What do you want? What do you want? Oh, yes.

Just the... What about my drone strike auto can? Is that answer to what is that? What do I say, what do you want? Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. All right, he's down. I'll make a death saving throw.

No big deal. I roll three times. This is... Oh, who crit! On the third time. Okay. Two saves. Two saves.

for life. You're about to wake up, don't wake daddy style. Okay, Baritha, it's Bertha's turn. She's gonna crossbow the snake. Come here, snake. Leave the snake alone. No, plus three is gonna be an 18 to hit the snake. Ah.

And then 11 to hit the snake. A hit and a miss. Okay, this is gonna be 10 piercing damage. 10 piercing damage. As her crossbow slams into your side. Okay, the snake still waggles its tail like DeKembe Mutumbo's like no, no, no finger at the end of us. Yeah, it's perfect.

And it is Phibs and then Busy's turn. Fibbs tries to leap up to get back on the platform. Oh, that's right. Because I'm a snake. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm not on the platform. Yes, yes. Real quick, that's a Dexterity 13, DC 13.

Well, you know what? Sometimes you snake some and you bake some. You're back on it. You're back on it, but you just took a little too long and you take seven fire damage. Ow, ow, oh, o'ee. Okay. Snakey, no likey.

And then. I bear down on Barutha and try to constrict her. Okay, do you have to hit first? Yeah, you better believe I do. Okay. Okay, does a 16 hit? 16 does not hit. Okay.

I'm no giant snake doctor, but I would assume I get two attacks being the stupendious snake that I am. No, no, you do not get two attacks. Well, what I do get is telekanehis, brap. Ah, okay. I'm gonna, I'm just so frustrated as being this big ass snake and unable to affect

any meaningful change. Okay, so I save. I don't roll, but I just did anyways. Okay, I save plus three and that's a seven. So Baritha's pushed off. She takes some fire damage, she takes five fire damage and she is still alive, but she's in the magma just like burning. Busy's turn.

Okay, so she is in the magma. What do I got? What do I want to hit her with now that she's, She's dying and that's fun for me. I'm gonna do a dart. I'm gonna see if I can hit her with a dart. Six doesn't hit. Six doesn't hit.

Six doesn't hit is Pecara's turn. Oh, well before I go, I am gonna, I'm gonna turn to Piccarra and go like, you got this, I believe in you. You have been so good this entire time. You are so good at saving people. I just wanna say that. Okay, sorry.

Oh, that was so nice. And then give her Bartick inspiration. Oh, you're a born leader. Because I get two of them now. Okay, she's not gonna waste. gonna waste her barding inspiration on that she got a three on the die and it is the magma's turn okay oh yes busy stabilize to be give me a oh that's well she's talk to her about this when you wake up well she's not on the same slab she would have to walk over

there but roll is he six that's a six oh interesting everyone is going to get tossed and thrown by the magma oh my god um fibs what which block are you on your on it with... I was on the one that Barutha was just on and I presume that's the one that Tippy's on it. Yeah. Barutha, Tippy, Phibs, Unzook's on another one, I mean, busy. We've got Piccaro and a different one and those are the only people who are alive. And Crandall. Okay, okay.

And Crandall. Crandall's gonna just be with busy. So you're all gonna be tossed and thrown onto a different slab as the magma starts getting a little more wave to it. So everyone roll a D6. D6. That's a five. Okay, Tippy, what'd you get busy? Four?

And then Fibbs? Two. Okay, Fibbs and then Varuth is gonna get a four with busy. Okay, great. Okay, so here's the lineup. Yeah, what's the lineup? Fibs, you're on your own platform now, Tippy, you're on your own platform,

and Bissie and Baruth are on a platform together. Okay. Oh, dang. That's kind of all that happens. You're moved up a little further, and that's the top of round six. At the end of this round, it does look like, things are progressing faster and faster,

and the volcano's gonna blow. Okay. How high above us are the airships? They're about 50 feet. They're 50 feet above the top of the chimney and how far away from the top of the chimney are we? 150 feet. Oh, okay, so there are 200 feet above us. They're 200 feet above you. Thank you. That's all I needed. Okay, I love these questions. Tippy, make a death saving through. Let's go. Okay, three times. That's going to be success. It's my third success, so I stabilize. You stabilize, perfect. Baruta. Barutha. You said this place was steps from the water. We just haven't found the steps yet.

Oh, my God. Okay, this is gonna be three dice of D10. That is three. That is three. So six and four is 10. 10 plus one and then another one is 12 bludgeoning damage right to your face. Busy becomes a pile of balance.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh my god, oh my god. Okay, you're gonna get blast of this volcano has a pile of bones. Interesting. That's Barutha. Phibs.

Yes. Berutha is not looking good. And you know what? She's about to look even worse because a big ass snake is coming for her. Awesome. Okay, I thought it's checked to get over to her slab. Yeah.

There we go. Dirty 20. Dirty 20, you'll do it. You're on there, no problem. And now I'm giving her giving her the big old bite, chop of a life, fucking Christ. Sorry, I meant freaking Christ.

Yeah. Oh, un-z-z-ug. Done it again. Okay. Dang it. Dang it. Oh, dang it. Yeah, I totally miss, but then I just think to myself,

there's always another way. Bush. Oh my God. Okay, Baritha, let's see, baby. Strength saving throw, a 20, a dirty 20. Ruth is hanging on. Busy, you're a pile of bones, but you're at one, so I'll let you do whatever you wanna do.

Then I am going to cast cure wounds on myself. Awesome. 10 points. Perfect. But do you still look like a pile of bones? You would have to come out of pile of bones to cast. Because otherwise it's like you're under fame.

Okay, well, it's freaking Baritha out. Okay, and Baritha is on my slab. She's currently engaged with me. What can I do as a bonus? There's no real hiding. How do you hide? If I, unless, I will let you, instead of hiding, if you want to, what do you wanna do to Barutha?

Well, what do I wanna do to Barutha? What do you wanna do to Barutha? Well, what I would want to do to Barutha is, I either, if you will allow me, I would do a sneak attack since she's engaged with him and push her off the platform. I- She's engaged with Fibs, yes, and she's already engaged. Yeah.

I would just suck her push her. I want you to sucker-push her. So I'm gonna do another strength saving throw and see if she gets sucker pushed. She gets a 14. This is gonna be an athletics check for you. Because I'm not saving against a spell or anything. That's only a six.

Dang, yeah. Dang it. Okay, all right, but you are back together. You do look menacing. She's surrounded by a snake and a really evil-looking bard but she's still up Peruta. However, Pekara, gets her line of sight and it's just going to take a shot.

Let's go. Yes, she hits four. A 20, a 23, yes, 1D10. Come on, Picara, a 10. That's enough. She really did put two in the back. She hit her last time. And Piccarra shoots Barutha to her death.

She falls off the slab. She's lab, burns and sinks into the magma. She's not wearing any magic items, don't worry. And that actually gets us to the end of the round. She did not go to stabilize you. Not at all, but that's okay. Yeah, but it is the magma's turn. The magma is just going to launch you out.

Your body, tippy, fibs as a snake, and busy, and Piccarra and Crandall are all flying in the air. The two airships are around in one. In one round, we're gonna see how many of you it can actually catch. Both of them see you flying out, the Stag's Horn and Mischief. We've got Chab and Dupper and Mischief, and we've got Smellarill, Fug, and Plixie in the other. Look, it's that guy who's just made of circles.

Help me, circles! And as you're knocked out of there, is there anything you two who are alive would like to do to prep? You can tell that these airships are going to try to catch you. Yeah, I mean, I have my plan. but it's sort of based on what it's going to play out. Okay. Because what I want to do would necessitate doing something on a turn.

Okay, great. So let's keep it in turns, and this is what the airships are going to do. Oh, I wish I was awake. Alive. So they're going to drop their ladders to the people who are alive. Y'all are a little bit separated, so it's going to be one, two, and Pekaris three.

And Crandall. Yeah, yeah, and Crandall. But they're going to drop their ladder to busy. The other one is going to clock that one of you is unconscious and try to do really crazy maneuver to catch you. But this is gonna be at disadvantage because it's really wild.

This is gonna be mischief, so it is gonna be a little more wily. Disadvantage, so a 10, so it's not gonna catch you. So I'm free falling. Yeah, you still are free falling. We're still free falling up though, right? Yeah, you're still going up. We haven't reached the apex.

I'm free rocketing. We reached the apex, yeah. You're just launched out and it was just gonna try to nab you. And I'm still knocked out. It wasn't able to do that. Top of the round, Tippy, you're stabilized, Barith is dead.

Phibs, what would you like to do? Phibs, giant snake flying through the air surrounded by bodies in magma is just panicked out of his reptilian mind until he remembers, you're not a snake, you're a skeleton. And at the apex of his propulsion, he is going to think the command word

of the staff of Roll Bear and turn back into fibs. And at the apex of his height, can he see the deck of any of the ships? Can he see? Yes, yes, one of them, Stag's Horn. Phibs does not reach for any ladder. He instead looks at Tippi at his unconscious body and starts to channel remembering how Unzug made it

look so easy to open a dimension door, remembering how easy Gagangan made it look to open a portal. And he begins to warp space around Tippy's unconscious body and cast vortex warp to place him on the deck safe and sound as Phibbs begins to fall. No. Oh my god. Oh my god.

Oh my god, oh my god. Okay, does that just happen? Is there anything you need to roll? There is a Constitution save, but he can choose to fail it. Yeah, I can't. And he's not even gonna do that. Okay. We have Tippy safe on the deck of the stag's horn,

but Phibbs is now falling without a ladder in sight. Busy, it's your turn. Okay, they threw me a ladder. They did. How close am I? this ladder. Close. You could just reach out and grab it. Okay, so I'm gonna reach out and grab the ladder. This is gonna be an athletics check for you to hang on to it to make sure you can grab it. Okay. With advantage because they're doing it for you.

11. That's not going to be enough. That's not gonna be enough. So fibs and busy are going to fall. Piccarra's also falling. Does Piccar have literally anything? No, but y'all are all still again like at the apex. The ships are gonna try again. Tippy, you're all set. So that means that that the mischief is going to throw down another ladder. Staghorn is gonna still hold out the ladder for you and they're gonna make a choice between you and Pekara. So question, I get Dimension Doord onto the deck of the Stackhorn.

Does anybody check on my body? Does anybody stabilize me at all? Does anybody come over? Yeah, like, yeah, we'll do that in a second. Okay, great. Piccarra's falling, we'll deal with Crandle in a little bit. It is the top of the round, so yes, someone is going to like awaken you.

Just shake me. Just some medicine a little bit. You get one hit point. And you're up. I quickly look around to survey what's going on. I close my eyes and we were in like a lava hell and now I open my eyes and we're on the deck of a ship. You're on the deck of a ship and lava is flying at you.

Ladders are being thrown. People are dodging around this magma. Your friends are below you. Phibs, busy, Pekara and a crandal. And it looks like they're in danger. Yeah, I mean this all happens so fast. So they're at the apex. They will begin falling very soon.

I want to hold my action to see what happens when these two finish their turn. Hold my action. Well, that's good because it's Fibbs's turn and Bussey's turn. If you all want to grab the ladder, you can do so with advantage. DC-15. That's an action, correct? It is an action. Okay.

So you're not going to do that. Or are you? It is your turn. Phibbs sees that they threw him the ladder and is like, no. Okay. No. And you see the same energy crackle around his hands again as he looks at the Bacara's falling body and then looks at the deck

and deposits her right next to Tippy. You're alive. Oh good, you're alive. They got you. I quickly embrace Baccarra, give her a quick smooch. And I go, my friends, I need to save my friends. Yes, yes. All right, everyone, Chab, Dapper, what we got going on?

And so as I'm like, figure out how to save them with the ship. And then I look over the edge and I, do I notice that Fibbs just did not go for the ladder again? Yeah, for sure. You see it all. I dive off the edge. edge and I go, I hope this works. And my little, I turn into a wear bird

and just spearhead dive beak forward towards Fibbs. Okay. Holding onto the luckstone with all of my might. Okay, awesome. So you're gonna head down to Fibbs, and yeah, this is gonna be an athletics check to see if you can even, look, you're a little baby goblin. But you might be able to grab him and hover down,

but you might not be able to fly. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. I just got to slow the fall. Okay. That's cool. Thank you, Luckstone. Thank you, Luckstone. So what is this?

DC-15 Athletics. DC-15 Athletics. Just made it. Just made 15. With a 15? Yeah. Yeah, you are sacrificing yourself, Phibs, for all the goblins in your crew,

and unfortunately, this one goblin dives off beak first. It's terrifying. Like, the wings are flying out of his. I'm cutting! And diving down, the wings are like pushed all the way back It looks like he would not be able to parachute out, but at the last minute, these tiny little wings are able to parachute out.

He grabs a hold of you with his goblin arms, a goblin humanoid arms, and your fall is slowed a little bit, but it's pretty chaotic as he's just dancing around the wind. Can I have Loof try and create us a tether with her webs? Yes, yes you can. It's time to save your uncles. Okay, so Louf comes out and she's still within your rib cage, fibs, and she tries to fire at the nearest ship.

But she does get a to hit, doesn't she? Yeah, plus five. Plus five. Okay, 18. Come on. She rolled 19 on the die. Amazing. She creates, she does create a rope. She's kind of held in between your ribs and holding on. It is very unclear how long her web will hold,

how long Tiffy's ears are going to be flapping enough to hover you. But for the moment, For the moment, this does seem successful, busy. Okay, the ladder is right by me. It is right by you, again, at advantage, DC-15 athletics. Not enough. Oh my God.

DC-15 athletics. 14? 14. Okay. Okay. I'm really tired. I've been acting all day. Have you tried acting all day?

It's like more difficult than any other job in the entire world. Is Crandall alive? Um, Crandall, uh, Crandall. Is Crandall alive? Look, yeah, let's see. Let's see.

Okay, he is gonna need to make a similar save, but he's got no bonuses, so he rolled a 17. Damn, Crandall. And a 12, so yeah, he's got no bonuses, but he was able to hang on for Dear Life at the end of the other rope ladder. Now, it is Picarra and the ship's turn. Can I take my reaction after seeing busy miss the ladder?

Yes, you can. Phibs just sort of like, realizing that everything's going south, plucks from the side of Tippy's head of feather. And cast featherfall on Tippy, on busy, on luf, and on himself. Not Crandall. No, Crandall's fine, he's on the ladder.

He's on the ladder. On Crandall as well, just for the sake. We get five. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so. Crandall's like, oh, ladders are weird now. Okay, so how long does feather fall last?

One minute. A whole minute. Okay, great. So everyone, you do feel. the lightness of a feather being able to save you, at least from falling. Yeah. But when you fall, you still might land in hot magma. So the goal of Pekara and the ships is to still get you up into the ships.

Piccarra's going to do something a little pirity. She's panicked. She's going to harpoon you. Okay. And try to harpoon you. Okay. Because the ladder just is not working out. And hopefully she can hold on to the harpoon and pull you back in.

But let's see. She might kill you in the pussus. Her finest is the harpoon through, busy. Yeah. No, that's awesome. Yes, that's what she's going to do. So this is going to be an attack roll. Plenty of range to hit, but lots of damage if she does.

Okay. What? Does a dirty 20 hit you? Yeah. It does. Okay, you're going to take 3D10 damage. She can't turn back into bones. A 15.

3D10? 15. Oh my God. You take 19 points of. 19 points of piercing damage. Yeah, I'm just bones now. Okay. I just immediately busy, like, goes from,

what the f? And then just, do, do, do, do, do now, so it's just bones, lightly wafting in the wind. Not even a bone pile, because you only get that once per. Oh, yeah, not a bone pile, so, so yeah. Yeah, I'm gone. Okay, but you're not dead dead, you're just. You're making saves now.

I'm making saves now. You're making saves now, fine. The harpoon has gone through you, and so now you're swinging kind of, how far are we from that? with the rat, swinging from this web thing. Every once in a while, it'll pass by you. Okay.

It's going like the rope and the, the wind and everything. Yeah, you're kind of wrapping, sometimes touching, sometimes not. But it is, Tippy, it is your turn, and then fibs. As we're just floating, I grab my luck stone and I think really hard and I, in my head, I'm trying to commune with Uthus and being like,

Uthus, your champion needs you. Help us, please. That friggin' work! Yes! Oh my god, okay, Euthis is pulled directly to her champion. She does one look around at what is going on and she first looks at you. I'm still your champion, I promise! Yeah, she recognizes you.

It's okay. But you're in a canoodle with the skeleton fibs and the spider loose and she is able to pick you up and deposit you on the ship. She does take a look at Bizzy who she does recognize but does just look like bones. She restores you to health. She does get you to one more hit point and is able to bring you back onto the same ship as everyone else, the one with Pakara and Chab and Dapper. She just flies in, no problem.

No problem. Y'all are all- Can't believe that worked. Yes. Where to God that wasn't gonna work. No, that's- That was out of options. That is what she's there for, at least for now.

She says, I must save the other dwarves, but in the meantime, feel free to call me again. Just keep yourselves out of trouble. Thank you, you. Do what you must. And she's off to the races. You are now out of combat. These ships of the marked have saved you.

Everyone is at least conscious, but worse for the wear for sure. And Chab goes, all right, where too? And Picard says, what do you think? We go to Maya Finn. Before anything happens, I pull busy and fibs and Loof into a big hug and tears streaming sort of from Tippy's eyes. He's like, I thought I thought it was going to lose you guys. I thought I was gonna lose everything.

Hey, I meant what I said, I am really proud of you. It's not me, it's the stone. I have this luck stone. Okay, but like you got the luck stone. No, it's kinda like the gun. It's like without this, I wouldn't be as lucky and without my gun I wouldn't be as confident. It was always you.

It's always been you. Yeah? The gun and the, like, that's great. Yeah. It's always been you and Busy just like takes his head and like her bone hands and is wiping his tears off and it's like, it's always just been you. Tips.

You know what? I think it's more than me. It's always been us. And in that hug, just for flavor, Robo Tippy comes to hug the group but only hugs busy's leg. Aw. If these sockets could cry.

And Loof hugs each one of you at the exact same time from the middle with each leg wrapped around each one of you. And the quietest and the softest maybe Tippi's ever been. He just whispers very serenely. Now let's find out where that idiot Babelbrook went off to. And I'm like, Phibbs, can you scry once more?

I can give it a shot. Phibs, as you're scrying, you see Eun-Zug in a plane of existence that you've never seen before. It is dotted with small lights. Could easily be the night sky. It just doesn't seem like it is. Like in the ethereal plane, he's not really walking, he's just floating. He's got a really determined look in his eye, but it seems that he's heading towards a really, really enormous fortress in the distance.

Does this remind Phibbs of where he saw Arsena disappear to way back when? Mm-hmm. Yes. He's in the astral plane. And the ships take you to a landing site in Meyerfen. Seems like Ulfrid has negotiated with the goblins and have been allowed to camp nearby. Some suspicions, but everyone has heard of what has happened at Fitzfeldel. It is ruined. All the gems are gone. When you do land, you see some people that you recognize. You see Gagangan, but he's in the shape of a water elemental. You see Zog, the imp from Ordinell's lair, who helped you out in Nacreca. You see Vadoul, the way

He's actually got a red-headed female dwarf on his arm, and you see Ulfred and all the goblins. Gagangan is explaining things to everyone about what the scythe of Aurelia is up to, that they were heading to fit Fettledel, but now that seems thwarted, and he is unclear what's going to happen next, but he's convinced that this will be a battle, and it does seem as though everyone is going to join an alliance against the scythe of Aurelia.

But as you land and come off of the ships, you make your way through the crowd, humble as you all are, keeping a little bit back, Gagangan points to you three and gestures for you to come to the stand. The goblins are making way for their goblin hero. Everyone who has known you, the imps, the marked, everyone is making ways for you, and there are whispers as you just hear all the factions of Sundaras who have recognized you, all the ones that you have helped, ever since you left Eun-ZUk's lair, are filled with respect and admiration of And you hear some joy too, like, oh, you know those guys.

Yeah, I know them. Oh, that's great. Oh, they did this, they did this. And you hear the whispers of how you defeated a construct in Wretched Cove, how you stood up to the scythe of Aurelia already, how you saved the dwarves from the demons and from the volcano, how you helped the obligation in Earnedker Fathom, and how you really made a chaotic name for yourself in now. Breka and through a great rager.

And as you move up to the stands, everyone is in awe as youth is bigger than you've ever seen her, larger than life, does come down behind you. And you are cloaked in her cotton candy pink graces and everyone just feels a lot of hope. You hear Gagong and say, You are the face of our fight now. You, Phibs, your promise to yourself, it was to destroy the scythe, busy. You merged the gap between what one would call a monster and a gallantling. And Gagang and goes to Tippy and says, you, the goblin hero, but also the only real true champion of a Sundara that is still on our plane, youthess.

You found her and she chose you. Is there anything you would like to say to this group of people who come together for one purpose? People of Sundaros, we come from all different walks of life, realms, dungeons, swamps, biomes, planes of existence. But we are here for a common cause. We choose life. We choose not to let this pathetic little death. cult wreak havoc on this land. We choose not to let charlatans try to deceive and steal

their way to godhood. We choose not to be monsters, but to be ourselves. We don't just have an obligation. We are the obligation to ourselves, to Sundaros, to stand and fight. As was so beautifully stated by Phibs, this fight is bigger than any one of us. It doesn't matter if you are what one might call a gallantling. It doesn't matter if you were someone who was a fiend. It doesn't matter anywhere from Nacreca ruling to the beautiful plains of Killeur. We are all of the same validity. as we go and take care of Eun-ZUG so that we can build a better writer future.

And in the meantime, we will not forget to celebrate what is precious with the occasional kegger that becomes a rager. All my life, I've had to deal with things that are bigger than me. I used to take all the problems in the world, all the fears, All the anxiety, all the hate. I used to wear it on my back. Goblins. Humphrumbs. Cruss monks.

Sinclair's and droolingtons. Must trumps and buff floggs. Sludge paws and slime grins. Slambers and snuggle warts. Bug bottoms and bubble butts. Yorts and Helflodergs. And you, Butterfly, who holds the morning. You might never...

I can't believe we didn't get a mention the fummy crust. The fummy crust, I was afraid I was gonna say something offensive, mentioning your name. We were your champion the whole time. Yes, the fummy crust, and you too, the fummy crusts. If you stay inside and you wear your packs of self-loathing and doubt, you'll never find love, and I look to Pocora. You'll never find family, and I look to my two friends. And you'll never find a reason to cause some God-dang

terror and I spin my pistols in the air and I shoot three times. So I propose a new goblin game as your champion. First one to hunt down a Noonzov claims the title. What say you goblins? They go nuts. Oh, it's crazy. Yeah, I'm gonna get me an unz. Get an unzoozeo.

I'm gonna get five unzooves. Oh, you don't. Okay, come down, slug pause. Slug pause. Relax. Relax. Amber Kara looks over you and she goes, Oh, Tiffy, you know, I care about you so much.

But what do you say if we never go on a real date? What if we just go on adventures together? I'd love that. Because can I tell you something? I've never been on a date.
