This is it, the big boss fight. In this episode, our players are going to have to combine all of their strengths and everything they've learned until now

to defeat the most formidable foe in this adventure. Will they make it out alive? Only the dice no for sure. Okay, and we're back. So, the two goblins, the cowards, they ran through that other door. Follow them. Get them. Get in there.

Absolutely. Let's all crouch up to the door. I will say, though, should... She go in or like we should follow her into the room since she's been hanging back, our work. La La Lackrey. Yeah. La Lackrey, you're not fighting with us.

Yeah, what's up? Let's make her going. Why don't you go ahead? That wasn't part of the deal. You were the heroes. You're the fighters. We made a deal for you to clear this dungeon for me. And I will split any of the treasure with you.

I took you this far. The Hobgoblin chieftain and shaman are in that room. might know it. I'll open the door for you, but you'll have to go. You're gonna help us fight this, right? Then this is, we now know. If they are, we believe her, if not, then we know she's, yeah.

Before we pop in that door, if you guys wanna do like a healing potion or something, I wanna save my spells, but. Yes, I'm gonna do a healing potion on myself. 1D8 plus two is what my thing lays out to, so that's helpful. I have the same, 1D8 plus two. Is there a get your canter? It is a pot potion?

Cantrip. All right. Cantrums are good, you've always got, though. Oh, the other ones? No, there's no get your first level spells back. Set sleep. Yeah. I am one, she.

One less than my. Perfect. Push me up to the door if you could. I'm the one in the white. Right here, yeah. Yeah, I won't be ready to get in there. Maybe right behind them. Okay, we'll put them.

Yeah, yeah. She's first through the door. So the locker's gonna open the door. Oh, right, all right. Let's go. She's open the door for you. Open. Open.

You let you guys. Is she also fighting? Lillarder, are you going to fight with us at least? I will fight. All right. All right. I'm not much of a fighter. I'm more of an ambassador.

Right, I see. You can be really anti-climic if we open it up and it's just like a closet. Right. The last three rooms haven't been impressive, Lelagra, so. What's in there? All right, let's go.

All right, let's find out. Didn't you get those pewter? Oh, it's a door. Okay, so as soon as you open the door, a loud voice barks at you and broke in common. Stop, put down your weapons and leave with your life. 20 feet inside the doors spread across the room are four goblin archers, each with arrows pointed at your hearts. Another 30 feet behind them stand two hobgoblins.

One is small and hunched, more than five feet tall, possibly female, dressed in a brocade cloak of red and gold, hair and cloak covered in tinkling beads and shells. She holds a crooked staff in her hand. The other is tall and lean, an archetypal middle-aged hobgoblin warrior with a long scar across his cheek. It is his voice that you heard. He wears heavy laminated armor, his hands grip the hilt of a huge black grape sword. He has an air of command and danger about him.

So let me set the miniatures and we'll roll for initiative. Alright. I gotta watch out for these guys. 18. 6.2. Oh, plus 2, so 20. How tiny he is. Aw. He's little.

Filthy 20. Yeah. I got 16. I got 13. Oh, nine. So I'm last. Okay. Tell me what everyone got? 18?

Wait. Sorry, 20, 30, 20. Oh, that's your first. Oh, yeah. Thank you, goodness. I was that one. I got three, actually. Okay, and you got, 16.

16, and then what do we have after that? 13. From Debbed, ready to help, ready to prove something. Little Debbie's, taking a break from making sweets. And what else we got? I thought I was last, I don't remember mine. Nine. It was nine.

I'm last. Okay, here we go. Haldor. Yeah. What do you do? Fight. Who dares wins? I'll fight.

I'm going to charge in straight to one of the archers. Yes. They're all archers, right? No, they're not. Are they all four archers? Those four archers. Okay, cool. Regardless of what they look like right now,

those four are archers. Well, then I'll take the one to my left, that's the main one there, kind of flank him out. I'm gonna aim, I'm gonna go right up to his face, like that. Great. I'm gonna attack him with a long sword. Four plus four is eight.

Nope, I missed. Sorry. All right, whan-want. Thumbaw, you're next. I'm running up right next to, you know what? I'm gonna go over to this side. Perfect. And go up to this guy.

Great, okay. It's a good plan so far. 12 plus 4, 16. You hit, you hit that guy. Yeah, did. Smash him with your mall. Roll for damage. And 2D6.

How much? To the tune of 11. Nice. You're done. He turned him into soup. Nice. Later. You got it?

It's okay. We're keeping our baddies. Yeah, we keep the one. Oh no, that's good. Yeah, yeah, all right. He'll need one later because there's more coming I met. No, no, no, no. Don't give all the men's back and then he can't add her monsters.

Okay. Now it's La Lachra's turn. All right. And La Laca will, um. La Lacaa stops to tie her shoes. She just continues to hold the door. Yeah, she does. Yeah.

She continues to hold the door. Appreciate it. That's it. I told you I fight. I'm fighting. I'm fighting my urge to fight. Deborra, it's your turn. All right, I am gonna hop in.

This is what I propose. I haven't done it yet, but I would like to use my burning hands spell, which has a, it is a 15 foot cone from me. So I want to get in there and try to get as many guys as I can in my cone without hitting my friends. Right. So, if you do this one,

there's a little geometry involved. Probably the best move would be either, stood here, you could get this guy. Well, okay, actually, if you stood here, you could probably cone out and get these two as well. So, okay, so we'll move you there. It shouldn't be this close to combat, but Deb is ready to play.

Hey, yeah. And you know what, they're archers? So even if you're, what's the difference of five feet? Like, if they're mad at you, they're gonna attack you. Right. You're holding the big spell for last. Okay, so tell us about burning hands. Okay, burning hands, as I hold my hands

with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a dexterity saving throw, which I assume is against my spell save D-D-C, which is 13. Okay, great.

And then if they take three D6, fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Okay, I like it. So we got three, so I'm gonna roll saving throws for three people. Okay. Against yours, one was not good.

That was not good. Okay, so, One, the, he failed his saving throw, she failed her saving throw and the little archer didn't. Or the little archer made his saving throw. I mean he's very dexterous, he's tied. If you were to have one to get their saving throw, it would probably, that's a good one.

Yeah. So now you're gonna roll 3D6 and see how much damage you did for everybody. By the power of helm, I protect you. Very no protection. With fire, that's 11 damage. 11 damage. Okay. Good, that's really good. The female hobgoblin looks pretty tore up. Nice. Not yet.

Not dead yet. She's not dead, but she looks pretty bad. She's sort of fiery. Oh, I should add that any flammable objects that aren't being held or worn also do catch on fire. That aren't or are. That are not being worn or held. The beds they're standing on, they're basically on a funeral pyre right now. Because they're on beds.

They're going to have to move off of that. So they're in flames anywhere. It's actually their turn to move. They're water beds. Yeah. And so that means that your, that this guy took five points of damage. Yeah. He's still alive.

He's definitely still alive. That's fine. I feel like I accomplished something. That was a very good move. Very, very good move. By the bad guy for the bad guy for the most part. So this guy, this old big old hoblobbing guy with his great sword is going to go first and he is charging right at the dwarf.

What can he do, you know? What can you do? What can you do? Good thing you healed. Good thing. He gets to attack twice also. You have the most hit points of all of us. He missed the first one.

Oh, nice. Missed the first time. Yeah. Let's see. What up, Neo? The second time he did not miss. He hit you the second time. You got hit for.

See, things. Sorry, I've got all these guys. Everybody. Is there a thing that I can do tonight? You got hit for, oh boy. That was a bad noise for you have to make. Eight points of damage. Ooh.

All right, I'm still alright. If you're alive, that's good. I'm alive. I still got five. He's a big dude. Great. Okay, so that's it for him. She's going to move off the flaming bed to here

and we'll cast. So they each get to do a thing right now? Yeah. Yeah, sorry. Uh-oh. They each get to do a thing. We have a spell. Yeah.

So, but you know what, if we die, you guys could race in and finish them up. Yeah, exactly. We do our best. It's actually a good thing that everyone's in front of her because she doesn't necessarily want to hit her own people. She has to do like touch stuff? Possibly. So she's going to, you see her cast something on herself. Oh, okay.

So she, her turn is she's casting something on herself. She healed herself. Yeah. You're not sure what it is. Okay. Protection. Extraputer. It's not kind of protection. Yeah.

Yeah. And then now we've got the archers who will at this point all pull out their short swords because every single one of them is in melee combat now. So to shoot with the bow doesn't make any sense. So this guy's going to go for you. How bad. Deb's ready. He misses terribly.

And both of these guys are going for Haldor. Right. You're one with Helman. Oh, okay. One definitely hits you for four points of damage. Okay. What are you at? I'm at five.

Hey, so am I. And the last one missed. So. That's very good. Trin. They'll have to do better than that. Your time. Okay, so we're in full combat right now.

Full combat. It is heavy. Everybody needs to bring. And she's still holding the door for us. Yeah. You can, yeah. As I walk up to the door. the door up and you'd be like, dude, help us.

Okay. You can race in close and since they're all engaged, you can both hit them and have your secondary attack. Yes. Double stab. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely I'm to double stab. So I feel like.

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.

Thumper. Thumper. He's hurt because he's already hurting his big dude right there. Right. Let's go help him. Okay. The issue is you can move through there, but there's really no place for you to stand in the combat.

How far in can I go is my question? Well, you can go. Your move is, what, 25? 25, yeah. So, one, two, three. So your fifth move would be in the middle there and you can't actually, so this was really your best. That's really my best. Your best, your best spot.

So I basically have to hit, go to that score where the three is and hit the guy in front of me. Right? Yeah. I'll do that. Okay. Okay. So let's roll to hit. Nice!

Natural Twent. Oh my gosh. Natural Twentry. So that's so much damage that I'm not even going to make you roll. Okay, good. Explain to me how you kill him. Oh. Set the scene for us.

Wait, what was I using? You're using your dagger, a magical dagger. I slid them from the crotch up. Perfect, perfect. I'm getting. We're learning a lot about people. Boom. Because I'm short.

Gone. Yeah, that's true. You go up and then you climb up a little more and then climb up a little more. I'm not trying to be cruel. It's really just the only place I can reach. Can you come down a little bit? Yeah, thank you. Okay, Moon.

Get him, moon. It's up to you. Get them. Well, obviously I'm going to have to use a fire bolt since I don't have any of the special. Who are you shooting it at? I'm going to shoot it at the big one over here. Great. The big, big gun? Yeah. Excellent.

Okay. I start off with the two, which is four, which means I totally missed. That's okay. There's always the next round. That's right. All right. I appreciate it. I'm going to, let's see. I'm gonna, let's see, I'm gonna finish off this little guy in front of me.

Or, actually you guys, you can handle him to the left if I moved in and went straight for the second hobgoblin. So I'm gonna move in that middle spot. Okay, great. And attack her with a long sword. Awesome. Yeah. Hopefully this works out.

12 plus 4, 16. You hit. All right. Roll for damage. Roll for damage is eight. I love those words. Ramon, roll for damage. Five plus two, seven hit.

You killed her. Yeah! Down! Yeah! Finally. That burning hands really took a lot out of her. That was a good, that was a good move. That was a good move.

So, yeah, hang on to her for a minute. Okay. You don't want to spellbos. Oh, I killed somebody didn't. No. You did? You killed one of the archers. Yeah.

Oh, which one? And both bogg-gued earlier, so I don't want to hear anything. Oh. Superpower. Yeah, we like keep here, guys. Keep your kills for now. We're so sort of stabbing for just some guys. Thumbar.

I think you took some of them, but. Oh, I'm attacking that dude. Okay, awesome. You attack me. Yeah, that's true. We did. All right. Come, I get it.

It could be a seven. Oh, man. Okay, yeah, you definitely. Paper cut, you gave yourself a paper cut. I tripped on my beard. Oh, wow. Now, don't forget, who's got potions left and things like that?

Think about that in the back of your mind, too. You've got those at the ready, you know, if you're feeling like you need it. Does that, like, it takes your action to do it, right? Yeah, it does take an action. Okay. To give somebody a healing potion? Yeah, and to take it, to take it yourself, to imbibe it yourself. I have two healing potions come to find out.

You're concerned with some of our deaths? I, possibly, yes. He's a big, permissible dude. It's the Lelokra's turn, and she's not doing anything. What? Okay, where I'm done. I'm calling you out. You're supposed to help us.

I'm not one for fighting. Yeah, you're waiting to a week so you can kill us after we wipe this dude. I'm just gonna let you do what you were going to do anyway, which is just plunder this way. Then why follow us? Go wait in the other room. You know?

All right, Deb. All right, I am feeling concerned for my friends. I can do some stabbing, but I, uh, what are you down to? I'm at five. You're both at five. Yeah. And you can do a move and an action, right?

Because you should probably get out of a dude's way. If I'm healing. Yeah, heal us from, take a couple steps back and heal us. Can she get out of the way? If she gets out of the way, though, they're both gonna get an attack of opportunity on her. She should not move. So she cannot move.

Okay, yeah, because I'm like in there with knives. Right. So if she steps back, both of them can take a free swing. Really? It's probably not the greatest idea. All right, well, I'm gonna stab, because I have a lot of adrenaline right now, and then if you all need it later, I will,

you when you're unconscious. Go for it. Okay. Perfect. Stabby, stab, which one? I'm gonna stab, can I stab? I'll just stab the guy in front of me. It feels like that's probably a dangerous thing to do.

Okay. Okay. That is a six. That was not the right choice. Sorry. I have regrets. All right. So, you have your resistance thing that you can throw up?

Nothing that doesn't take an action. Oh, all right. Yeah. Let's huddle. I can react. There's five of us. And her just watching. But we got this.

There's only three left. Okay? Yeah. We got this. I feel very inspired by you. So the goblins are next though, unfortunately. Yeah, here they come. Yeah.

So hobgoblin, big old hobgoblin guy is gonna take a swing at you. Yeah. Two? Yeah, he can take two swings. Yeah. He's gonna miss both of them. The first one he definitely missed.

Good, miss, miss, miss. Like free throws. The second one, he definitely missed. All right. You're lucking out. It's the luck of the dog. It's only the guy I will know. There is no luck.

There's helm. Yeah. Okay, so, but we've got this guy here and we've got that guy there. So, the guy that you just tried to stab is gonna stabby, stabby back at you. And he missed. And the one stabbing at Haldor missed.

These two-long storm troopers. Oh, this is awesome. Leave the Trin to step in and kick everybody in. Yeah, Trins. Okay, we got you. You're very happy for this. So I'm gonna go, I'm just gonna finish the job. Okay.

I'm wrong threes and fours, it's terrible. Okay, so, is anybody hurt or what's happening? Like which one's more damage? I mean, both of these guys have five hit points each. Do you mean the goblins? I mean the goblins. Actually, no, both of these are uninjured. These both for whatever reasons.

Get him down. I guess I'll do this guy since there's two. Okay, so this one right here? Okay, and I'm using my dagger, right? Yeah, great. Goblins are at the end, so if we eat, you're hitting. I'm lucky, I'm rolling again. Right, you're lucky, you can roll again, excellent.

18. 18. Plus six. That's great. Okay, you definitely hit them, so you're gonna roll your dagger damage plus the bonus, plus your backstabbing bonus. Come on, come on, come on.

Three, plus five, so that's eight. Now roll your backstabbing damage. Oh, cool. Cool, you took him out. Yes, he's gone. Of course. He is gone, yep. So wait, you're a lucky person,

so you get a roll every time? I am treating in Waterjave. Good job. Halflings have a special skill called Lucky, and if you ever roll a one, and you're a halfling, you get to re-roll it. Oh, red. But you have to accept the second roll.

Right. It's a great skill. You got an 18, so you know, that's where Lucky works out for you. You would never want the one, so you'd always want the second one. Yeah, but you could roll a one again. Uh-huh.

You know what I mean? And then do you roll again? No. No, then that's it. Oh, I see, except. Yeah. Okay, excellent job. Boom.

Yeah, fire. Okay. Which one you, which one are you starting shooting that? The big guy? Okay. Five. No. You missed.

Sorry. You need a new dye, a die. I know, this one's broken. Here, I'll give you a different one to use from the next time. Let's see. We'll try that one. You're a good. I'm going to use my second wind,

because I don't trust that this big guy and I don't trust her, so if I'm down to five, I'm going to be messed up. Yeah. Great. I'm going to use my second wind. It's 1D10 plus one. That's a D8. Oh, sorry.

Yeah. What did I do? And so what is it? You use this action to do this? Yeah. Yeah. 10 plus 10. Ah, 10.

Great. So you're back to you're back to 100%. Full health. Yeah. Okay. Cool. So that way I don't have to worry about when we get attacked by her at the end of the at the end of this and I'm not completely.

Ah, that's fine. All right. Okay. Okay, so it's Thumper next. Should I do that same thing? I got five, but I want to- He's not gonna miss forever. No.

All right, so. You can attack and I'll heal you. All right, I'll attack. I'm attacking, dude. You're attacking. Okay. Come on for once, we do. Eighteen.

All right, you definitely hit him. So let's roll for stuff. Double. He's gone, I know it. Yeah. This, come on, uses power. Big damage. Damage.

Four, plus two. Okay, six, all right. You put a little more of a dent in him. He's still around, but you dented him up pretty good. Okay, La Lachre chooses to just chill. What do you know? Useless, shocker. Useless, yeah.

Okay, DeBora. Okay, I'm gonna do healing, sorry, cure wounds. I'm gonna touch you. I'm gonna say by the power of helm, and I will heal 1D8 plus five, so I think you're up to full. Yeah, great. So that was, sorry, that was seven plus five,

which is 12thumped. Thank you, I am super thumpy. Excellent. Get thumped. Okay, now it's the hobgoblins and goans turn to go. So. I have not been damaged.

Don't say that, are you crazy? Yeah, I think. You notice something that the Hobgoblin Chieftain does, and he actually does a very similar move. You're familiar with the move. It looks a lot like when you guys call your second wind. And he does the same thing. So that's what he's gonna do.

And we don't know what this will result in. He just cinches his belt and holds in his intestines. Looks like he's in a little bit of better shape. So that's one action of his? Yeah, but that's it. That's all he's gonna do this time. And then there's another little dude. Then the little dude is going to stabby stabby at Haldor like he was trying to.

And this time he does hit and Haldor you take five points of damage. Okay. I mean that would have killed you before? Yeah, right. Up and down. Yep. Up it down. Okay.

Tren. But I'm gonna kill that dude, by the way. by the way. I'm gonna... The little dude or the big? Not if she does it first. That's right. Okay.

Who's after me, Moon? Yeah. Which means maybe. Which means zip-up. Yeah. I should wait so that I can go behind.

1314. Yeah, you still missed. But is he heard it all? Oh, I've been doing the initiative. No, but it doesn't even hit. It's okay. I've been watching your die rolls too. Yeah, so it just misses.

The fireball just full on misses. Again for the third time, I quit firebolt. Yeah. So it's up to you, you can't wait any longer because you're the last one in line now. Yeah. So we can't go behind. I have to try the other hand next time.

Everybody's engaged in power. To the gods. Right. Yes. Shine on me. 11. Okay, so 11 plus 7. I'm using my dagger.

Great. Which one was that? 18. So that's 18. On the little guy? No, on the big one. Oh, okay. You should have moved in, but I'll let you do that.

Sorry. So you moved in there. Oh, but you know what? One of the thing, though, if you did move in there, this guy would get a first, attack on you. Oh yeah, I can't move. Yeah, I'll let you use that die roll if you want on the, yeah, he could miss.

He's still probably, he probably won't miss, I'm thinking. Dang. Do the little dude. It's okay, you got putting it. Knock him out. He's not gonna kill you. All right, so I'll do that towards the little dude then. Yeah.

Can I use my same? Yeah, yeah, it's fine. Okay, so you do it towards the little dude. I hit him, right? Okay, you hit the little dude for sure. Pick it. Right, and he's engaged with me too. Right, so you get the triple hit him and wipe him out.

wipe him out. Yeah. Oh, okay, good, so. Yeah. Two. So two plus five, and now roll a D6. Yeah. For your backstabing damage.

Yeah. There's no way this guy's alive. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's obliterated. Yeah. Nice. He's a shimi.

I know. Thank you. I just love collecting my. Great. Okay. I know. I started opening the ketchup bottle to say. Yeah.

I know. I know. Right. Right. Yeah, totally. I'm gonna charge up on this dude. We did, last one, take him out. Yeah. Long sword? Yeah, long sword.

Yeah, it's all of us, right, until we got a little, eh. Well, it's just you and me, right? Yeah. Don't move me forward. I have an idea. Okay. I don't want to move forward. I want to fire my short bow. Okay. Which is the same power as some of my other stuff anyways. Just a different, it's just a different, and my dagger. Okay. So I'm gonna fire my short bow.

Hopefully that'll work out. It does not work out. It did not work out, but I'm glad I moved forward. All right, there you go. Good, okay. It was worth a try. Thumpar. Yes. Get him.

11 plus 4, 15. You missed. Comma. Yeah, sorry. It's okay, La Lacra's coming up. Certainly she'll do something. Now, Lollacra, um, Lollacra kind of at least moves into the room.

Progress. To there. Oh, great. She doesn't do anything yet. She doesn't do at my back? Yeah. Good. Great. So do you know what the locker is going to do?

You can't tell us. Of course he knows. Exactly what the locker is going to do. She may or may not do anything. She's up to no good. All right. Deborra. Deborra.

All right. I'm going to use my hammer, and I'm going to hit that big guy. Okay. Because that's sort of a fun thing to do. That is 16. 16 plus 3 is 19. Nice.

You absolutely hit. Finally. I roll my D8. That's one plus one is two. Okay. He took a little bit away. That's good. His toe hurts.

I take my, get my camera and then I just kind of just stop right. Okay. Now he's back to, he's got his second win that he just did, so he's back to attacking. All right. Just you, buddy. The first one. Is he attacking me? He's attacking you.

All right. He actually misses you. Nice. Awesome. What does it take to hit me? Like what's the number? Your armor class is 17. So like how I have to hit whatever his is, he has to hit 17.

But as a dungeon master, I don't tell you what their job. Right, no, of course. But I just put those together that 17, he has to roll a 17 to hit me. Just like I have to hit whatever this. Everybody unload on the big guy. Okay. Go ahead. That's the only choice.

Yeah, unload. I know you're gonna hit on this time. We completely believe in you. Fireball. I hit him and I'm controlling him and I want you to hit him. One! Oh! What on earth?

It's waiting, I swear. Give me another dice. I say I'll give me another one for the next time. Do you have like an evil black D20s hoarding back there? Is that sad? Yeah, he does. I bet you the black one will be right. Your letter rolled for, just make sure we know that there is anything.

Okay, Trin. You're in. All right. There's one on left. Mm-hmm. So you move towards them? I'm going to move right in front of his ass. front of his ass.

I'm just as useful as La La La La La. At this point. At least you're trying. This could be good. If you were like, I'm going to hit him with my magical dagger. Yep. Right. Right.

Here we go. Okay, so seven plus seven. 14. Nope. Sorry. Sorry. I can tell. Okay, we're back to Haldor.

Yeah. Um, okay. Yeah, again, oh my, I'm gonna go for the long sort. So move me up to the other side of him. Yeah. Outside. Yeah. That's great.

Okay. Yeah. We're counting on you how long. I can't. I can't do one that actually 10 plus 14. Sorry. All right, that's right. Thumbart.

Here comes. 14 plus 4, 18. Just missed. Really? Yeah. He's got a high. 19? This is 19 now.

Okay. Lakra. LaLauqua actually... Oh, here we go. See. She starts beating on the guy. Oh, nice. She's beating on him?

La Lacra starts, well, L'Lacra actually attacks the guy. Totally misses, but hey, she's fighting with you. Baby steps. Okay. DeBora. DeBora. I am going to Sacred Flame, which is one of my cantrip, which I have done before. Great.

He has to succeed on a dexterity saving throw. Against your 13, correct? Yes. Okay. What does that mean? He has to roll something higher than a 13? Yeah. Yeah, with his bonuses and all of that.

And he actually failed. Yeah, okay, D8. So that means that since he did that and didn't reach this 13, now you get to do the thing? Yeah, he doesn't jump out of the way of my flaming. So now this is all damage. Yeah, damage time. That is a three.

Take three flames. Light a birthday candle and throw it out of it. So what was that called? What's the first thing, the getting out of the way thing? Saving throw. Saving throw is like the inverse of the do you hit. Yes. Like on this, and one of these, what's it called?

The first one of the first one of the roll. The to hit roll, the D20. To hit roll is if we do it, the saving roll is if you do it. And then the same thing happens. We find out how bad. That's right. Right. He's got it.

Great. All right. And now we're gonna find out how bad he hits the crap out of you. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. He's still, he's just, he's not giving up on you dwarf. He's still mad.

I think he wants to hit La L'acra more than anybody, though. I really think. Yeah, he's like, wait, he could come from. He needs to hit La Lacra. She brought us, is it here. He hired her and she betrayed him. I would be mad at her. I'm just saying, that makes total sense.

All right. Logically. Hit my lacra. I mean, he hit you twice. Oh, no, no, no, no. So I'm gonna roll for damage and see how we do here. You got two over 17s? He did.

Scruff. Helm, watch over us at this moment. Watch over Sumpur. Oh, Helm, no. I might have, though. Okay, you are 100% unconscious. All right. And knock down.

So when we get to the next turn, we'll figure out what's gonna happen from there. You still have, yeah. Raise the Dead or, yeah, so she's got your back. You got your back? Yeah. I can help you.

I've got someone's back right now. I'll do my best. Come on, Moon. Okay, Moon. I gave you a new, check it out. Make sure there's nothing going on. Yeah.

Just shake it in your hand a whole bunch before you throw it. I'm predicting that's a lucky dice. Yeah. This is, I can't read the numbers at all, Suspense. There wasn't a one. 12.

12 plus 5 is 17. You just missed. Sorry. That was a pretty useful. It was the best shot than I've done. I know. This guy's home. Trin.

So I think I got 18. I actually feel dread and anticipation. Okay. Double stab that man. Okay. I'm already there, my magical dagger. One? Five plus seven.

Five. It's not happening. At least 18, right? Whatever. One. What is going on? Just keep going, let's do it. Okay, thumb bar is unconscious.

So you're- Lelakra, come on. But Thumb bar, you're gonna roll for saving against death. Oh yeah, right. So you're gonna do a saving throw against death. 20? Yeah, so you need to roll 10 or higher. Okay.

12. Okay, so you have one success. So I ready to make a note of that somewhere? Yeah. You make a little dot in the little. So if he did not roll high enough, that makes he's dead? Doesn't mean he's got three chances. Three chances.

He got three chances. I got three-backed out. Oh yeah, okay. There we go. Fill in those. It's scantron. Yeah. All right.

So the lacra is, uh, is beaten up on the guy now. Good for her. Totally rolled a two. The lacra is useless. Use. In every way. I tried to tell you guys. Deborah.

Deborah. That guy gets to act before anybody else does. So I'm gonna hit him before I stabilize. you. Okay. I'm gonna do sacred flame because that feels better because you have to roll. Okay, yeah, because it's the last time. Is that the, so.

Yeah, no, that's, it's a little, it's the little. Oh. Like, I am, and it is saving throw? And so I'm gonna roll your saving throw against DC 13, correct? Yes. He, he, he got it this time. Oh, dang. No damage.

What's a DC, what DC 13? DC is a, um, difficulty check? Difficulty check? Yeah, or difficulty class. Okay. what it's what it's count for but so if it's a DC of 13 then that means he had to he would have to That's that hard how hard to do to yeah Got it it's the limbo bar of yeah, yeah there you go there's all limbo bars yeah yeah yeah okay so now

You've been really pissing him off so he's actually gonna try to he's gonna Oh nice that's cool that's fine I'm fine with that please don't hurt me What's your hit points 10?

No, at six. Dang it. Okay. Tren, you're up. Stap, step, step, stand. Come on. 20. Natural 20!

Woo! Nicely done. Okay, so. We have lots of damage to deal here. Thank the gods. So you're going to roll your D4 twice, then you're going to add five to it, then you're going to roll your backstabbing damage.

Wait a minute, that didn't just automatically kill him? No. It's a critical hit, but it doesn't automatically kill him. Always roll for your damage after. And I hit in like the corner of your neck and your shoulders as opposed to on the side of your shoulder when you had big shoulder pads. The idea is that it got in there.

Now we got to see how hard you're swinging, how soft he is. Plus five because that's how much more dagger is, right? But only on one. So roll that twice. One. Okay, one. Roll it again.

It's okay. But is it better that it was a 20 than it was a 19? Four. Now add five to that, that's 10. So roll a D6 now for your back stabbing damage. Okay, so you're for 13 points of damage. So completely by surprise, you stabbed him like right where he wasn't looking like right in between

where his armor meets his side and he just, he goes down. Nice. He's not dead. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. The sucker's gone. Yeah, thank hell.
