In this episode, our players are going to learn about healing, exhaustion, resting, and planning. But don't worry, this episode isn't going to be 45 minutes of them sleeping in a dark room. It's going to take a few more challenges to get them to where they can even think about slowing down.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Okay, so you just defeated the two goblins and the mystery gray tall dude. I'm unconscious. I'm unconscious. I have a healing post. I would like to use. I have a bunch. Being unconscious, you can't use it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:18 You don't have a lot of agency at this moment. Yes. But as your soccer mom, I would love to come over and I have multiple healing potion. Just give you one of those. Yep. Is that a thing I could do while he's not conscious? I'll allow it. You can pour it into his mouth.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Okay, great. And that's, it says right here at D8 plus two, so I'm going to roll my D8. Yeah. Okay, so that's just three, but that'll get you conscious again. Uh-huh. To six. It was a one plus two. Oh, okay, got it.
Starting point is 00:02:49 I could burn my other. I have healing potions, but I also have my second wind. Could I possibly use that? You can only use second wind in combat. Okay, so during moves in combat. Right, that's like a, you know, spur of the moment. The adrenaline of combat gives you your place. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:05 It might be a good time to think about finding a place to rest. Yeah. Whether it's a short rest or long rest. I don't need to sleep. I can rest. I can trans for like four hours, I'll keep watch. You need to meditate. Yeah, well, in that case, if we're gonna rest,
Starting point is 00:03:19 then I will use my second spell slot of the day to do cure wounds on you. Oh, thank you. Great. Which will give you another D8, plus one, I believe, right? Plus my wisdom. Plus your wisdom, that's right.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Which is five. Okay. But I guess we'll heal points anyway. I just wanted to cast another spell. Hey, no problem. That brings me to maximum to 10. Great. It brings you owe that, but I'm at maxis.
Starting point is 00:03:44 again, I'm tense. You sure don't have a lot of hit. So we don't have to sleep, right? Well, she's out of spells now, though. She's out of- And we gotta rest to regain some of our other powers and your magic powers as well. There's two types of rest.
Starting point is 00:03:55 There's short rest and long rest. Short rest is one hour. You can heal yourself by rolling your hit die. So whatever you roll to get your first hit points, you can roll that and you'll get that many hit points back. A wizard will get at least half of, we'll get half of their spells, right? not at least, but you'll get half your spells back.
Starting point is 00:04:16 A cleric will not, you need to rest fully. So a short rest is an hour, a full rest is eight hours. And eight hours, you get all your hit points back, you get all your spells back, you get everything back. So does that mean, as everyone's rolling, you don't roll because you're resting? Or what does that mean? Everyone's gonna rest together.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Okay. What determined, I mean, like we don't obviously sit here for eight hours and wait, but. No, you don't, your characters do. Why wouldn't you always just say, let's do a full rest? Well, because if you did it in the middle of a hallway, then probably some creature would come along.
Starting point is 00:04:46 In the middle of the night, someone will come upon you and you're like, oh, by the way, while you were sleeping, you got surprise attacks. So let's just feel a quick. And that's a risk that you take with, like a roll? Is that a risk that you take? I see. I would roll for wandering monsters and things of that.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Yeah, we're in a hallway, so yeah. If I get half my spells back and it only is one spell, do I get half of that spell? With a short rest, you would still get that other spell slot back because you've only spent one. Oh, okay. But remember, our cleric, your healer, wouldn't get any of her spells back.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Right. I still think as your soccer mom, we should all rest, we can roll our hit die, like thumper needs some hit points back. Yep. Which is zoomed through. We could move back into this room and rest there and lower our chances. Yeah, I mean clearly no one went in there.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Yeah. If there was a- What do we do that? What's the hushes? Of course he wants to go back to the mushrooms. Yeah, right. I'll be over here chewing this stuff. Okay. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Wake up with a whole new album. Is it a short rest or a long rest? Sure. Sure. Okay, so whoever's injured, roll your hit die to see what you gain back. Technically, I'm not now, because I'm back to it. Yeah, you're good.
Starting point is 00:05:52 So hit die. You're injured slightly, aren't you? No. No, you're back. She cured me. Oh, yeah. That's why we need the rest, everyone's fine. Well, he'll hear.
Starting point is 00:06:00 And you'll get your magic vessel. Oh, right. I'll see a 10 on here. All right. It's a 0 is a 10. Yeah. Zero is a 10. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Nice. Okay. So you back to full? No, I'm back to 12 out of 14. Not too bad. Not too bad. Okay. Cool.
Starting point is 00:06:19 So you get your spell slot back. Magic missile. That's right. And now, which worked amazing. Directions. Back and out of this room, back over to this part of the building. We obviously have a lot of map to explore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:34 So you want to come back down this hall and like enter this stuff or go maybe down that way? Yes. Eany, meeny, mighty, mo. Yeah. Pick, pick something. I like, yeah. So we'll do perception. So let's come to here, and we'll enter here.
Starting point is 00:06:49 We're gonna go, is that right? You can just use the one. You can use the dwarf one just for ease. Over here to this guy. Okay, now you guys can clear the pieces as we go. See what's what. Oh, dang it. A hallway.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Dead gummit. Down that way. Okay, now you can either go. How about this way? Yep. Okay. A lot of doors. Long hallway.
Starting point is 00:07:16 A long hallway. A long hallway. Anything special. about the hallway that we should know? Everything looks the same. It's, you know, it's made out of the, it's made out of the same material. The dark black rock that's been carved.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Do you wanna come down to this door? Sure, yeah, okay, why not? Let's open that door, let's see what's in there. Should we knock first? To examine it, yeah. I love his little. It don't. Aha, another 10 feet or 20 feet.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Okay. Uh-huh. Hold that out. Uh. It's a hallway. Okay. They should invest in like an open layout, I feel like that's like the new thing instead of all these. Style like it.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Open sort. I know, yeah. 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. I'll take it. And that means I've been outside a lot more. Walking around, occasionally galloping. after a toddler hopped up on juice boxes, traveling a bit.
Starting point is 00:08:22 You know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I gotta say, looking a little bit sad. I want clothes that can keep up with me and my son, but updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive. So that's why I wound up signing up for Fabletics as a VIP.

When I'm at home, my favorite thing to pull on is, the oversized hoodie. It's so comfy I could just live in it 24-7. It's perfect for walking my dog on like a chilly night. But what I'm out and about, I've really been loving the ribbed Johnny Collar Polo.

Lately, I've been getting a bit more intentional about what I wear from day to day, because instead of just falling out of whatever laundry baskets nearby,
Starting point is 00:10:16 I've been leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable, but still put together, because it just makes getting dressed simpler when I have a plan.

And since spring is here in Los Angeles, a brief period where it's 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees,
Starting point is 00:11:16 I spruced up my wardrobe with a pair of the comfort stretch traveler five pocket pants and the heritage washed denim shirt. Not only do they feel great, but I unequivocally look good as hell while wearing them. That's just science. So refresh your every day with luxury you'll actually use.

Starting point is 00:12:13 All right. This time. It's not tall goblin. You see. A barbaric-looking female humanoid bearing ragged equipment and armor in sullen colors. It has coarse body hair and a stooped posture like some primitive man,
Starting point is 00:12:32 but with grayish green skin tone and bestial facial features beneath a black hood. But it's a female, you said. It is a female. Burning red eyes peer below a low sloping brow, just to blub above a flattened nose and prominent tusk-like teeth. Someday I'm gonna marry that girl.
Starting point is 00:12:53 I think she's the perfect wife for my little charisma on her maybe. That's exactly what I was thinking. Just a little bit. Wave hello, say hi. It's terrible, she's a woman. Hi, we just killed your mate on the other side of the building more than likely.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Maybe she hated him. Maybe they're cool. She's much larger. My mate, my mate is not here. I think she's tougher than him. Yeah. I think so. She seems like a problem and a new friend.
Starting point is 00:13:21 What's liquor? What do you guys stay for? Let's fight. Where you're from originally? She wants to join our group. Our crew. No? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Have you been the ones clearing this dungeon? Yes, we have. Maybe. You want to join us? The goblins stealing everything. I'm sick of these people. And she has a dagger in each hand. And right after she says, I'm sick of these people,
Starting point is 00:13:42 she stabs both of the guns. stabs both the goblins that are with her. Oh, great. Nice. And that's my kind of girl. I'm ready to make a change. Nice. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:52 We got to continue. She does want to be our friend. Yeah. Yeah. Join us. After treasure, we'll split it with you. I know all about this place. What's your name?
Starting point is 00:14:02 My name is La Lacre. I'm an orcus emissary here from another, from the caves of chaos. Oh, sounds. Definitely right. The people running this place are idiots and ridiculous. I'm sick of this place. You're clearly the alphas of this place.
Starting point is 00:14:21 I do want to join with you. Oh, great. Score. I would say there's an evil possessing this place, but that's giving them too much credit. There's basically a group of idiots trying to run this place, and I'm sick of them. So she's the goblin version, or like,
Starting point is 00:14:38 the orc version of like a Yelp review. She's a bad Yelp. I give them one star. I give them a Sala. There's garbage piles with centipies in them. It gives me the creeps, the fungus. Is our map real? That's what I want to know.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Your map, let me see your map. Yeah, it's got the map. This map is real, but I mean, what do you mean? Is it real? I mean, it got you here, right? Yeah, is this the resting place and the keep of Rogan and Zelliger? Oh, yes, it is, but they haven't been here for decades. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Is there gold here? Is there treasure here? Where can we find the treasure? Is there a library? There's a library. There's a library. That's what we want. It's absolutely a library.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. Can you help us find it? I can take you to the library. Oh, yes, take us to the library. I'm thump, this is Moon. Yeah, absolutely. This is dip. Would you like in a godstone?
Starting point is 00:15:28 And you can use our path to get out if you're tired of living here. I'm not living here, I'm just visiting you. Oh, okay. I was here to talk to the so-called leaders of this new place. I just can't, I just can't take it anymore. Mm-hmm. Let's go to the library. Yeah, show us the library and then we'll all split the library.
Starting point is 00:15:45 So why are we going to the library? Because that's what we're seeking. You want to be the library? You want to be the library. Okay. We will learn at the library. That's right. So the Lockeray, the orc emissary, is going to lead you to the library.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Nice. If you don't mind leaving that, if you can pull this guy up right here. Mm-hmm. Pull that guy up. There you go. There's a great white beast under there that shaped like an orb. Oh, it's just sticks. You're mainly going through hallways at this point
Starting point is 00:16:16 to get there. We're gonna go this way here. I love how we never asked if we could really trust this person. Maybe she thinks the people running this place are idiots because she has a much better plan for trapping, killing, and eating people. She probably said the same thing to the god. I was thinking about doing some roles
Starting point is 00:16:33 and I was like, let's just figure it out. Yeah, say. We will eventually find out if she wants to kill us. Well, yeah, then we have to battle her. There it goes. We'll battle, we'll win. Yeah. Never know.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Yeah, exactly. Okay, and. We're at the gate. So the library, the doors of the library. Those are the doors to the library. They just closed. That's my car. Oh, my cards.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Look on lines. Frigan not open on Mondays. Yeah. I'm going to open on Monday. Okay, go ahead and pull that last one if you don't mind. Oh. Look at that. You can know words.
Starting point is 00:17:10 So we're going to walk on it. Yeah. Barge right in. The library is where I was actually staying. So I'm familiar. Oh, I'm ultimately familiar with the library. So the floor of the room is covered with dust, but beneath is a beautiful and shiny surface
Starting point is 00:17:27 of polished red granite. The stone is inlaid in large blocks and extends uniformly within a foot of each of the walls. In the very center of the room, within the floor surface, are blocks of white granite within red stone. And these form the letters R and and Z with an ampersand in between. Wall scots is designed to hold torches for illumination
Starting point is 00:17:51 are mounted on the walls all around the room. They're not lit. There are three large oaken tables within the room, one in each of the west, north, and east wings of the room. There are several wooden chairs scattered about. In two corners of the room are plush divans, each covered with a rich fleecy upholstering that makes them very comfortable for reclining.
Starting point is 00:18:13 These, however, are rather dusty and dingy due to their age and lack of use. Hanging from the sconces inset into the north wall are small metal cages, each containing a large beetle. These unusual insects give off an eerie glowing light from their bodies, enough to illuminate this portion of the room with a forbidding reddish glow. Nice. So we can see fairly well. I've got darkness 60s.
Starting point is 00:18:39 You can see, yeah, you can see really well. But everybody can see fairly well. Or you could cast light in there too if you want it. Or should beer? I cast light on his beer again. Nice. Which is still carrying this whole time. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Perception? Yeah, sure. 12 plus 1. 13. I mean, there's a lot of cool books. Things of that nature. It's not good enough. So the last.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Lachre says, close the door. Close the door. Okay. I close the door. Nice job, Prince Jeremy. She is gonna kill us. She's gonna try. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:19:24 All we closed the door. I was sent here from the Caves of Chaos to treat with this hobgoblin chieftain that's supposedly taken over this place. But they're afraid of their own shadow. They have these little goblins working for them that run away at the first sign of terror. They were petrified of something they called a
Starting point is 00:19:43 dragon spider in the garbage refuse. I don't know what that was all about. It seems ridiculous to me. Anyway, if you will join with me to take out this hobgoblin chieftain, I'll share with you whatever riches we find. It's time to bring on the blooms at the Home Depot with Spring Garden Deals. Find savings on hanging baskets and flowers to brighten your backyard or any space that needs instant color.

Book on Hilton.com or the Hilton app and save up to 20% to get the stay you expected. When you want savings, not surprises. It matters where you stay.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Hilton, for the stay. I'm down. I'm down. Sure. She hasn't done us wrong so far. She said library, took us to the library. All of a sudden you hear... We're talking.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Hello. The luck wreck. It's time to know. negotiate. She doesn't say anything. And then all of a sudden the doors burst open and it's two more of those gray creatures. Ah. What is this? What is this foul treachery? Let's roll for initiative. Yes. Yeah. 18. 16. Oh sorry. Plus two so 20. Okay. So 20, 16, 15 as well. Okay great. And my modifier is negative one so I'd probably go after her.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Six. They don't attack first? No, they barged in on you and you guys are ready to go. Yeah, we were expecting hobgoblins. I would have been from that conversation. Yeah. So, is she a hobgoblin? She's an orc.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Ork. Yeah. She's tough. She's great name. Tough cheer. All right, so this is where it all, I have her in your party now, so I rolled initiative for her
Starting point is 00:22:19 and she rolled a bad number, so she's last. Okay. But, so here we go. Haldor, you're first. Cool. So remember, those are five feet in, those are five fit squares now. I only wrote a six.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Hmm? I only rolled a six. Okay, I thought you were 16. Sorry, okay. Yeah. Do we get a description of these guys? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:38 So the, now that you know, now that she told you the story about the hobgoblins, you know that those are clearly hobgoblins, the gray, the gray skin guy. So there's two hobgoblins in the front and two goblins in the rear. Regular goblins.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Yeah, little goblins. Yeah, little backup do. San's hob. Right. Hobb means the front and gobline ease. Okay. Okay. Okay, so here we go.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I'm going to, I'm not that close. I'm, you know, one section away so. You'll need, if you want to do. Hand to hand, I have to move forward. I'll let them come forward. So I'm going to suit with my short bow. Okay. To start with.
Starting point is 00:23:15 And we'll see how that. works out and I missed is a three. Okay. Moon. I really liked the magic missile. Yeah, get it. It's powerful. It's good. I'm just gonna go for it. Okay, on one of the big guys in the front. Isn't it doesn't it like three? Like several? Yeah, you could send them wherever you wanted them to go. You could send in that general direction. Well you could, you have to pick the target so you could send one to one one to another one and one in the back if you wanted. Or two on one. Yeah, let's let's let's see. make all three of them at.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Great. Let's do it. Okay, so you're gonna put... I'm gonna get... Like one on one, one on one and one on one? Yeah, the two in the front and the one in the back. Okay, so let's roll. Oh no, you don't have to roll the hit.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Oh, I don't. I don't. I already did that. Yeah. We're gonna roll the... The little guy for three times. Triangle. Three. Three. Uh, one.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Okay. Four. Four. You're gonna add one to each. So you've got, so one does two points. of damage, one does, what did you, you'll do one? Three, one and four. Three, one does two, one does four, and one does five. Yeah, okay, great.
Starting point is 00:24:26 So I've marked that all. No one's dead, but everyone's like, what does happen? I like the magic. Disabled for a moment. It's very good. They're not disabled, but they've been, they've definitely been. It stays. It definitely chips.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Like, so if I get in there hard right in it right away, I can, yeah, you could totally get in there, go hard. Yeah, throw something. Go hard, girl. Okay. Okay, so what should I choose? Where are you? My magical dagger?
Starting point is 00:24:54 No. Can I go behind and be stealthy or I forget? Well, right now, so actually no one is engaged in hand-to-hand combat yet. Okay. I'm still slightly unclear as to how one moves up a square based on your speed. What is it again? It's five, it's one, so it's every square's five feet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:12 So if your speed's what? 25. 25. So you can move five squares per turn. Oh, okay. Yeah, so you get one move action and one standard action. Okay, so would you suggest I move up because I can move 25 feet too, right up to the front and get him with my dagger? There's another thing you could also do that I wanted to mention is you could actually wait.
Starting point is 00:25:33 If you decided that you wanted to say wait for Thumbar to engage, you could then engage after that and then you would be able to use your sneak attack more effectively. So you could actually choose to wait. Okay. Great. That's something we haven't done yet before, so you can actually drop your initiative to Thumb Bar. Also, it's good because you're going to see where the goblins and hobgoblins are going to move. And then you can choose accordingly. Is everyone allowed to wait or just me because of us?
Starting point is 00:26:06 Anyone's allowed to wait if they're ahead. If it's part of your strategy. Okay. And then that becomes your place in line for the rest of the fight? Just for that fight, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so now the hobgoblins are moving.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Oh, okay, so now the hobgoblins. See what I'm building. See what you've got. Yeah, all right. So this guy moves forward here. This guy moves forward here. The goblins come in here and here. So they actually form a line out.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Ooh, a little. That's easy. It's tricky. Yeah. That's their limited intelligence combat moves. Okay, so. So basically what we have here is we've got one hobgoblin and goblin on Thumper and another hobgoblin and goblin on Haldor.
Starting point is 00:26:55 They clearly see you guys are the most well-armored guys of the group. You're right there, so I'm going to roll for that. So the first hobgoblin misses, the second hobgoblin misses. The first goblin hits Haldor for, I mean, It's a thumper for three points of damage. Okay. And the other goblin. We'll need sandwiches later.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Misses. Not too bad. Okay. So, Thumpar's turn. Bring it. Oh, come on. Three. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Plus four. Yeah, seven. Seven. Seven. No, no. Yeah. Okay. So I should have said who I was going for it too.
Starting point is 00:27:46 uparmored for that, okay? So Trin, so now it's your turn. So what you, so now what would happen is any of those guys are engaged, which means you could basically choose to attack any one of them and if you hit, you could attach your sneak attack damage to them. All right. Two are attacking Haldor and two are attacking Thumper. I would like to take the more menacing of the two.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Is that a hobgall? Yeah. All right, so I'll take one of them. Okay. So you're gonna move your mini up. to the front line there. The outside of the outside of me? Yeah, outside of me, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:22 That's a good place. That's good. And you can still attack the big Habu Gavu Gavu there. All right, so I'm gonna get him. Roll to hit. But I'm not sure what to use. My magic dagger? I would say you've been using your dagger
Starting point is 00:28:34 and it's been working out well. And any item that's magical is usually based on its properties, even though it's just a plus one dagger, that gives you a better chance of hitting. So I would always go for that. go for that. I would absolutely choose a magical dog. Roll with your magic D-20.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Yeah. So 12 plus whatever it says in the deck, seven, so 19. Great, you absolutely hit. You hit the hobgoblin. So now let's roll for the dagger damage, and then you're going to roll the sneak attack damage. Okay, so which one for dagger again? The four-sided, yep.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Oh no, okay. Four-sided, yeah. This is for dagger damage. Nice, four. It's a four plus your bonus. bonus. So nine. Nine. Great. And then your sneak attack damage. Which is a six-sided? Yeah, one six-sided back. He's going down, Hobgobb. Yeah. You just got him. That was it. If you had rolled a one, he still would have been alive, but you got him. Good job. Hob.
Starting point is 00:29:34 He's now hobnobbing with any afterlife. Yeah. Afterlife. It's like chest. You want my game. Yeah. Okay. DeBora, your turn. All right. I am going to... Could I go through Haldor and kind of stand between that goblin and the outgoblin? So you can move through any allies square in combat with no penalties.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Okay. So yeah, you can absolutely move. I would like to request that I do like a cool move where we like, I roll over your back. Nice. I like that. Absolutely. All out.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Straight up gently. I love that. Yeah. He's like, you're doing so great. I'm proud to be your friend. And then I stand here and I'm gonna attack the hop goblin. Okay. You know what, no, I'm gonna attack the goblin
Starting point is 00:30:27 because he's not getting enough attention. Right, certainly not. With my hammer, please roll good. That's a 16. A 16, with your bonuses? Yes. You absolutely hit the gobbling. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Done. Okay. Now I'm gonna roll my dame. an actually a D8 this time, not a T10. And I get a eight. You obliterate that. Nice. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:53 And then I'm going to reach over for a high-fi from Haldor. Great. Awesome. That can be your swift action. Yeah, my swift action. As a free action, I would like to high-five. Okay, now, interesting, the, the orc kind of just hangs back.
Starting point is 00:31:11 She doesn't really do anything. She just sort of watches what's happening. Get in here, girl. It's fun. Where's that girl's? She passes. Oh, wait, she didn't want to help with anybody? She's just checking things out.
Starting point is 00:31:24 She doesn't know us. Yeah. So she wants you guys to prove your worth maybe. Okay. Why isn't she helping? I don't know, but she's not. That's weird. She's not helping.
Starting point is 00:31:35 I'm gonna read her a book about Chicken Little later. We'll all have a nice talk. You could probably find you in the library, perhaps. Wonderful. Okay, howlore you're up? In keeping with my elvish fighter nature, I'm going to use my long sword on this tall hobgobloom. Excellent.
Starting point is 00:31:53 So. Let's write him, would you? Yes, it's a six plus a four, so it's a ten. Your noble long sword bounces harmlessly off of his arm. All right. So it was a clean hit, but in no vital place. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Moon. I guess I just go with the good old firebolt. Yeah, hey, tried and true. One! Okay, so... You wouldn't even add your bonuses because a one, a natural one in D&D is always a miss, no matter how many bonuses you add. That just means you've totally slipped on a banana peel or...
Starting point is 00:32:38 I'm never using the fireball ever again. Have you hit with that yet? I have... No. I think one time. Once, I think you did one. A little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:48 One's good. Okay, so now it's our gob goblin and goblin are left. I want to try a thing. I have a warding flare. Okay. And if I think it, like at the hobgoblin, if he's attacking me, you feel like wah and it's a bright light and it forces disadvantage on the roll. That's good.
Starting point is 00:33:10 And you can use that at any time? Is that the idea? Or do you have to wait for your turn? your turn. It always says it's forced disadvantage on an attacker. I don't think I have to roll. Okay, yeah. It's a ward. You throw it out. Yeah. You know, you say some... Right, right light. Right, and it blinds him on his attack. Okay, great. Channel Helm and I'm like, be proud of me. This guy's scared now. So he's going to roll an attack at a disadvantage. So I'm going to take the lower number. And yeah, he totally missed. So that's good. And then now we've got the goblin that's still
Starting point is 00:33:43 on thumper. And he hit. Thumper. And you take four points of damage. All right. It's reasonable. Yep. But it's your turn.
Starting point is 00:33:57 You can take revenge right now. I will take six. Blame. Okay, no, you missed. Man. So Trin, what would you like to do? We all have that dream trip. We've been wishing we could go on.

Starting point is 00:35:08 I just notice I can move through creatures of at least one size larger. Right, and you can always move through your friendly, through your allies. Oh, I see. At any time. So you could basically put yourself anywhere in that, behind them,
Starting point is 00:35:21 you could surround them. Yeah, they're both engaged. Can I really go behind the big guy? Yeah, you absolutely can. I'm gonna do that. And then just backstab the crap out of them. Yeah. Awesome, I'm gonna do.
Starting point is 00:35:29 All right. Okay, let's roll. Come on. Give it to me. 16 plus seven. Nice. Okay, roll for damage with your dagger, which is...
Starting point is 00:35:41 This guy? Mm-hmm. Then you add your bonuses. Two plus five, seven. And now add your backstabbing damage. He's dead. That would be you're going to roll your D6. Tending it.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Just forget. Okay, there's more on that one. Oh, he's so dead. Yeah. Lucky you guys have me around. Talk about stabbing in the back. You do too hobgoblins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Good for you. Wrecking it up. You've got a set. I'm just going to light trash on fire. Hey, but you know, you cleaned up the place. You know, you got rid a lot of that trash. So we got one goblin left. Got one goblin left.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Now, Deborah, it's actually your turn now. Oh, is my turn again? Yeah. There's one goblin left. I would, here's my proposal. I would like to go up to Thumper and feed him a healing potion. Is that a thing I can use my turn for? Like, he's down to five.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Yes, you can do that. But then that will be it for your turn. That's all you can do. I mean, I guess I could try to kill him. but my impulse as Deborah is more like I don't want him to get hurt and then he can you haven't rested long enough well you can bring him back and then after what's her name La La La Cua? La Vacra.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Yeah. Then Haldoor's up. Yeah. So he'll get worked. Yeah, I think that's fine. Okay, I'm gonna do that. I just care about you so much. That's all I care about.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Thank you. So I'm gonna just walk up and just like kind of mop off your brow and make you drink healing portion real quick. Yeah. Sandwiches. We can give you a, yeah, they look like sandwiches. That's seven, so seven plus two, nine. Nice.
Starting point is 00:37:23 So I think you're up to full. Pretty close to full. Yeah, he's full. Awesome. Woo, okay. Now it's Lavakwa's turn and she engages. She engages the goblin. So you can go ahead and move her straight up
Starting point is 00:37:36 to that goblin. I was concerned she was gonna turn on us. I was about to be like, you know what? She's going to attack the Lavachra. She attacks the goblin but misses, but she does attack the goblin. Wow, so how do you're right? They have a little look beforehand, like,
Starting point is 00:37:50 oh, he put that side. So it's really cool. I did an 18 right out of the box. I was like kind of . Yeah, so 18. Well, you need to move. I'll take the 18, it's fine, but you needed to actually move into that space,
Starting point is 00:38:04 which is fine. Can you go diagonal? Yes. I'll assume that you did that. Right here, diagonally. Yeah. Pretty sneaky, sis. And then long sword, yeah, long sword, so 18 plus four,
Starting point is 00:38:18 so 22 should be a hit. Yeah, definitely hit. Right, and then my D8 plus two will be a four, four damage on him. Four damage on the, he is hanging on by a thread. He's hanging on by a thread. Moon, it's all up to you. Fireball!
Starting point is 00:38:39 Fireball! It's gonna work. Sooner or later, it's gonna work. Yeah, we believe in you. We believe in you. We believe. Yeah, it's right. So, you don't even have to roll for damage.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Yay. I get to keep on. All those misses that you did, just... You're mine. It's literally like a small little nuclear explosion. Just hit that goblin. He exploded into a million pieces and just, there's a...
Starting point is 00:39:09 You see this fireball of light and then goes out, and then... goes out and there's just gobbling pieces everywhere. And it just goes to the other.
