You were on his back because you rode him up, right? Yes. Yes. So he moves further away. So with me, with me. With you on him. He backs up. Okay, yeah, you're 10 feet away so you can do
Starting point is 00:02:37 that. So what, on like a tree limb, you go back a little bit? Yeah, just go back a little. So you back up a little bit this way. Cool. So he takes a big branch and just sort of backs up on this big branch. Kind of backs up in my perches a little bit. Cool. Yeah. So you were 10 feet from it. Now you're like 15. Yes. Okay cool. That was Fluffy's turn. Viros. You know where exactly? Am I pointing this big hammer? You can see.
Starting point is 00:03:02 You can see. Not great. I see something, but... I can see everything. Yes, you can see everything. You want to tell him what, like, distance or something? Yeah, just, just approximate. This is approximate. You can tell him it's 15 feet in front of him. Okay. Oh, so that's a, okay, yeah, it's 15 feet directly in front of you.
Starting point is 00:03:17 If it turned to my left, there it is, okay, 15 feet in front. Oh, I'm going after this S.O. Finish the abbreviation. So you run forward towards it, you run 15 feet the best you can. I mean, I'm going at him. All right, so yes. Swinging my hammer.
Starting point is 00:03:31 I'm going to use my fancy thing again. So, Viros swings his hammer and runs towards until you can sense Sorry, Barry. I mean, at a certain point I'm gonna be able to make out what I'm getting at, it can't be that dark, right? Yeah, I'm giving you that you're in dark vision in terms of like anything, but as soon as you get up close, you're like, yeah, I can sense something.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Yeah, and I'm ready, I'm going. You're still gonna take disadvantage on your attack. Understood, doesn't phase me. Although, you know what, I take that back. Yeah. I take that back, because you have two attacks. Oh, easily two. Okay, so we'll take both of those.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Wonderful. You're right there, you can feel like. All right, so the 15 and a 16? Right. All right, and you've got six each. Both of those are gonna hit. Did you see that? Well, I got a two.
Starting point is 00:04:16 It's an eight. Oh no, it's five. Five bludgeoning. Okay, five. Oh, there we go. Nine. And a nine. Double hits. Suck on that, you big rat.
Starting point is 00:04:28 That's what I said when I hit them, when I made contact with the hammer. I said, suck on that, you big rat. You catch that, okay. Okay, cool. Yeah, so we'll say once you're within, like, if you're in melee distance, I'm gonna remove the disadvantage,
Starting point is 00:04:39 because you're you're, You can feel it, it's there, you can see it through the little bit of light. It's just if you're backed up, we'll still keep your disadvantage on it. Unless you have dark vision. All right, anything else, Veroz. Action surge, I'd like to use it again.
Starting point is 00:04:50 All right, go for it. I don't mess around. So again, two more attacks. There it is 18 and 19. The day is mine. Viroz is just swinging like a wild man right and left. That hammer is just knocking into this thing. That's a decent.
Starting point is 00:05:10 That's good, don't you look at me like that. barrel and another six, eat it, jump on it, and then digest rat face, is what I said. So what is it all together? What did you roll for damage? It was a six and a six. Six and six. Six and a six.
Starting point is 00:05:23 All right. All right, you take all of that. Now I would like you, as you come closer up to it, and it looks down at you and you can see into its eyes, which are all kind of looking in the wrong directions, make a charisma saving throw. Okay. Not afraid of that.
Starting point is 00:05:45 12 plus 1, 13. 13. If I had a long cigarette at this moment, I'd ask him to hold it. So this, it's so confusing, this like, it's looking everywhere and it's making you kind of strange. You don't really know what to say with it. So you cannot take reactions until the start
Starting point is 00:06:06 of your next turn. And I am going to roll a D8 to determine what you do on that turn. But I might roll it when it happens. I think that'll be more fun. Wait, I don't understand what happened. He's been affected? Yes, so as he came close in and saw the eyes
Starting point is 00:06:20 of this Umberhulk, which are kind of crazy and looking all over the place, it, like, confused him and made him all, like, disoriented. Because you simple. Simply amazing. But I did hit it. You did damage. You did the damage.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It's just that also it kind of made you confused, and it means that on his, he can't take reactions, because he's sort of confused on the next turn. We'll determine what he'll determine what he's just, What you do. Yeah, we'll determine what you do. Great, up next is Beryl. Yeah, so seeing that Veros is in the battle,
Starting point is 00:06:51 I won't be outdone. So I pull from my back, you know, one of my pack pockets. It's a back pockets, one of my pack pockets. It's a pack pockets. I pull out like, you know, a beer, drink it, smash it on the ground, slap myself on the ground, slap myself on the
Starting point is 00:07:11 face a couple times. Belchette. Yes, let out a nice big burp. Grab Betty and I'm like, you're trying to kill it with paper cuts? Oh! Rush forward. Taking, you know, my rage form.
Starting point is 00:07:26 All right. All right, so my first attack gets advantage because it's a reckless attack. Got it, and then I have advantage on you. So I get a 12 and then plus 7, 19. And 19 will hit. Okay. And I do seven slashing damage.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Plus your rage damage, right? Oh yeah, plus two. So that's nine. All right. Nine damage and then I'll take another strike. Uh huh. That's 11 plus 18. 18 hits.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Yeah. Good. Good. Ooh, and that does 15 plus two, 17. 17 damage on that second one. Wow. Man, so Barrel, seeing what Viros did, as Vero's hacks added a couple,
Starting point is 00:08:17 or wax at it with his warhammer a couple times, swigs her beer, throws it on the ground, comes forward with Betty in just one, two, straight across both of them, cutting deeply into the Umberhulk. You see its mandibles kind of clacking a little bit in pain while you do this. It is now Ricky's turn.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Okay, so because I have dark vision, I can see what's going on. I would like sort of assess him, how does he look physically? Like, is he pretty beat up, or does he look like he's still raring to go? He looks pretty, pretty blunt. to use a 4E term.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Sure, yeah, yeah. But he's still going at it. Yeah, he's still got some fight in him. Got it. But he's not looking great. Okay, I'm going to grab something from my pouch, and I pull out a vial that's like a long V. It's glass, and you can see through it that it's like pink swirls,
Starting point is 00:09:06 like those old toys. So you shake it a bit and it's like glitter inside of it. And I'm gonna chuck it at the Umber Hulk. Go ahead and chuck. Yeah, and it has to make a dexterity saving throw. Okay. I'm casting fairy fire on it. Ooh, very nice.
Starting point is 00:09:20 It totally fails. Cool. So the vial smashes on him and a green outline appears glowing. All around him. All around him and it lights up the whole area. So now all of you with who don't have dark vision can see and target it, no problem.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Barrel, we forgot you also need to make a charisma saving throw for seeing its eyes. Eight. Eight. An eight. You also cannot take your reaction. Okay. And we will also roll a D8 to find out what happens to you.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Okay. But also it's a 20 foot cube, so Barrel and Vera are also glowing green. Because fantastic. Oh wait, no. And you look amazing. Well, I'm sure with the green light, it only enhances things.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Anything else you want to do after lighting everyone green? No, and this is a spell that I have to concentrate on. Okay. So if you take damage, we'll have some issues. All right, Annabella. I would like to put this creature to sleep. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:23 So. And you can see it now. I can see it. But I just want to be clear. I am looking at its mouth and not its eyes. So you're not made eye contact. You're specifically trying not to look at its gaze? Actually, do you know what?
Starting point is 00:10:37 Since I'm higher up, I'm looking at, I'm looking at its, like, his spine right here, not his mouth. Okay. So you can avert your eyes to avoid the saving throw. Mm-hmm. can't see the Amberhulk. So you will roll a disadvantage, but I believe sleep doesn't require it. No.
Starting point is 00:10:53 So you're not looking at the eyes. You're gonna cast sleep. Yeah, I'm casting. All right. Four. Three. Seven. Seven.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Excuse me. One. Humbolded. One again. Thank you very much. Humbold. And that's your five? So 16.
Starting point is 00:11:15 16. You cast that in as the rest of you who are still sort of looking at it, especially there. You do see its eyes kind of droop a little bit, but they come back up. And it doesn't seem to have work. Oh, great. Okay, hanging on to the tree.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Hanging onto the tree. It is now its turn. It likes the pretty glowing things in front of it. Oh, no. So I think it's going to. Okay, because I'm up here now. You're up there too. I think you're the most recent attack
Starting point is 00:11:42 and you really hurt, so it's gonna come down on you. First, it's going to take its claws and try to rake them down through your front. I have a natural 20. Oh, that's gonna hurt. So you are going to take, I also have advantage on you. You do, you do. Okay, so that is going to be five.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Do you still have your berry? No, I gave it away. So you will take 18 slashing damage from my claw. Oh, is it slashing? It's slashing. While I'm raging, I'm resistant. So I only take nine. Take nine of that.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Yeah, yeah. That's a win. However, he then comes down on you again with his mandibles to try and bite you, and I have advantage and it's high math, so I'm pretty sure I hit you on that. This is also slashing damage, though, so you can take half of it again.
Starting point is 00:12:34 That is 19 damage, so you'll take another nine. Oh, gosh, okay. On that. So as those of you watch, you see this glowing green thing go down and slash through another glowing green thing and then teeth come down and try to gnaw at your shoulder again as you all glow green. That is, it's true.
Starting point is 00:12:54 So you averted your eyes, you're all good. All right, we are up to Ionis. I reached my quiver, aim my bow, drawback, and wet one launch. All right, so roll your attack and add your attack bonus. Yeah, it's all with it. 11 plus 8. 11 plus 8.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Oh yes, you've 19, you hit. So your arrow comes streaking out, and lodges right in its bulk. Roll your damage for it. Four, so seven. So seven damage. That flies through, and again, it kind of, kind of takes that and hurts.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And you have two attacks, so you can do that again. Two attacks when I do it one more time. Okay, roll another D20. 10? Mm-hmm. Plus eight. Plus eight. Greetings, adventurer.
Starting point is 00:13:40 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, you know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I gotta say, looking a little bit sad.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I want clothes that can keep up with me and my son, but updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive.

The kind of stuff you can throw on in the morning and not worry about later. 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.
Starting point is 00:15:00 But when I'm out and about, I've really been loving the ribbed Johnny Collar polo.

I highly recommend it. So shop now at fabletics.com slash critical roll to get 70 to 80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP.

Greetings, Adventures. 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Quince has been my go-to to help with that, because the fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without me needing to overthink it. And Quintz has all the wardrobe staples you need for spring. think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from just $34. They're lightweight, they're breathable, they're comfortable, your legs, and torso will thank you, and he will still look put together. And clean 100% Pima Cotton Tees with a softness, well, you've got to feel that to believe it, believe you me.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Their pants also hit that same balance. They're relaxed, they're comfortable, but still polished enough to wear basically anywhere. And everything's priced between 50 and 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen so you're getting premium materials without the markup. And since spring is here in Los Angeles, a brief period where it's 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees, 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.

Starting point is 00:17:28 A hit and then. Roll your damage. And eight. And eight damage. All right. Another one lodges in its side and it sticks true and it makes another kind of real. However, you are now also, you are within 30 feet, so you are going to make a charisma saving throw as well, because you did not avert your eyes.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Eight plus one to nine. What a clumsy fool I am. You also cannot take your reactions and we'll roll a to eight to find out what happens to you. Everyone, is it okay? We're all like, kind of hypnotized. Everyone's just kind of like, oh, I'm so confused. All right, we are back to Mr. Fluffy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:06 What would Mr. Fluffy like to do? Are you still on his back? You did not dismount, that's true. Oh no. Oh, crap. We were still kind of in your turn, so if you'd like to say that you dismounted. Yeah, I just bowed.
Starting point is 00:18:16 You're standing next to you? I'm just kind of woozy. Okay. Mr. Fluffy, what does Mr. Fluffy want to do? Mr. Fluffy, so he can pounce, yeah? He can. From at least 20 feet, but I'm 30 feet. You are 15 feet from him at this point.
Starting point is 00:18:30 But he could back up. Okay. And get it. Mr. Fluffy, rear's back. Gonna go back five, so he's got 20. Yeah, 20, and the leaps. Pounces on him. Pounces on him.
Starting point is 00:18:43 All right, you're gonna do, I think it's an attack roll for your claws. And then I think I make a strength saving throw against it, or if I fall prone, you can make another bite attack. Yep, that's right. Okay. And then you're gonna add plus five to this roll. Plus five to this roll.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Okay. Come on. So you run forward and he claws at the. So it's plus five? So it's 12. It's a 12. Unfortunately, he misses, he tries to rake across the armor of this beast.
Starting point is 00:19:10 But now let me make the strength saving throw to see if I stand up. I do. Unfortunately, you can't make the bite. And now Mr. Fluffy needs to make a charisma saving throw. So you roll that in. And negative one. He said negative one?
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah. Wonderful. Roll that crout. 18. 18. Yeah. 17. That's, hey.
Starting point is 00:19:32 What a cool. Mr. Fluffy is like the only one. He's a cool cap. He is a very, very cool cat. All right, we are on Viros' turn, so Virus, we're gonna determine what you do by you rolling a D8. Three.
Starting point is 00:19:48 You rolled a three. All right, on a one to four, the creature does nothing on its turn. Oh gosh. So unfortunately, you're just caught in the dead lights of his eyes. Barrel, roll a D8. A D8, oh gosh, I'm gonna get eaten.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Can I borrow your D8? Thank you. Four. A four. Same for you. You do nothing on this turn. All right. So we're gonna go back and we'll say,
Starting point is 00:20:16 so we came around, Mr. Fluffy avoided the gaze and attacked. Unfortunately, he didn't hit and do any damage, but he's right up in there. Viros, we roll the D8 and you will do nothing on this turn, but you have a possibility to avert your eyes if you would like. Done.
Starting point is 00:20:33 All right, Viros, while he does, nothing you watch him and he just slowly kind of turns away and covers his eyes. Barrel, same for you. You can do nothing, but you may also avert your eyes if you would like. Barrel's gonna kind of be like, oh, confound it, and kind of like turn around. Your two fighters that are right up in front of it. They both cover their eyes and cower. Ricky, your turn. Okay, so I'm going to take out a small container, and it actually has like a screw top and I'm gonna unscrew it and there's like a white cream inside and I'm just gonna
Starting point is 00:21:09 start smearing it on my face and all over. Okay. This is interesting because it's new to D&D and it's a new circle of Druid. So he's actually circle of dreams, which comes with the balm of the summer court. Okay. So this is a spell, you become imbued with the blessings of the summer court. You are a font of energy that lends relief to weary feet and respite from injuries. You have a pool of Faye energy represented by a number of D6s equal to your druid level. As a bonus action, you can choose an ally you see within 120 feet, spend a number of those dice
Starting point is 00:21:41 equal to half your druid level or less. Roll those, add them together, they gained hit points. Okay, there they go. Okay, so I have 10, 14, 18. On this turn, because I'm activating it, has anybody been hit yet? You've been hit. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Starting point is 00:22:00 The six and the four, I give them to you as 10. Oh, thank you. So this cream that I've rubbed all over myself, there's sort of like this translucent vapor that I can kind of manipulate, and I'll push it in her direction. So it moves through the air.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And you see it sort of wraps around your head and wherever your wounds are, and they start to again kind of knit together a little bit. And Barrel just kind of remarks minty fresh. Still kind of like recovering from the days of the eyes. Smells like peppermint. And Ricky As you did not look at the Almer Hulk. You averted your eyes?
Starting point is 00:22:34 Fantastic. Not like that. Averted your eyes with him. All right, Annabella, you are still okay because you averted your eyes. Yeah. I am going to pull out my gray bag of tricks. Woo.
Starting point is 00:22:49 And I am just going to go ahead. Gonna throw something? Okay. Roll a D8. What the fuck comes out? Here we go. Please be big and scary. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Good, too. Well, you never know. So I have got myself. It's on your, at the bottom of that sheet, you'll see I listed them on. Here we go, I got a giant rat. You got a giant rat. So, Annabella,
Starting point is 00:23:14 re-closed in her bag with her eyes closed, pulls something out and throws this furry object into the air, which in the air goes, br-h-ha- Turns into a giant rat which falls on the ground looking everywhere. But it is loyalty. so what would you have it do?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Where did it land? Because I didn't look. I mean, it would be like a random direction. I mean, you threw it in that way. You can throw it 20 feet. Okay. So yeah, it landed like at its feet. All right, it landed at its feet.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I want it to crawl up. Okay. And start eating its belly button. Okay. Trying to rip its bowels out. So you shout that out to your... Yeah. So it's a rat.
Starting point is 00:23:58 It doesn't like communicate. So how would you try to tell like your pet rat? to do that, what would you do? I would say, go for the sausage. And it would just try and get all the casings from the intestines, that's what I'm hoping for. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Go for the sausage. So you say go for the sausage. And point out of the belly. You are capable of great violence. All right, the little rat sclerfers up the belly to there and you see it and opens up to try to bite, make a bite attack. Come on, Tether.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Cut an eight. Bite it takes plus four. So a 12? You see it bite into the belly of this thing and it's... But it can't get through its exoskeleton. But it's kind of holding on and trying to shake around a little bit. It's trying. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:48 That's its turn. That's its turn. All right. All right, that was Anavella. Its turn. There's this thing. Adding it at the belly. Averting its eyes.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Averting its eyes. So yeah. It's gonna reach down and try to claw at the thing at its belly. The ace is 12. Yeah, 18 to hit the giant rat. It's gonna hit the giant rat with its claw. And then it's gonna take 13 damage.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Dead rat. That's how the claw sweeps down. It grabs this giant rat, brings it up, and kind of like hurls it, dead rat into the distance. Mr. Fluffy. Catch you fluffy. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:25:34 It's a snack. It's a snack. We're fighting. It then looks down at the two helpless humans in front of it and its mandibles come down again onto you. It doesn't have advantage anymore. It does not advantage anymore and I'm sure it misses. I have an AC of 12.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I hit you. Okay. So yes, the mandibles come down and they just grip onto you there. That is eight plus five, 13 slashing damage. It takes six. But you take half of it. Actually, I should have read all of the spell.
Starting point is 00:26:06 You also get one temporary, two temporary hit points because I spent two dice. And you get plus five to your speed for each die that I spent, so you get plus 10 to your speed. Okay, so you're quicker. So essentially, you just took six damage, you would take four instead. Because you would have used those two temp hit points.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Right, silver lining. But that only lasts for one minute. It'll be fine. Which is, we're only six seconds into your spell, so you've got plenty of time for that. That is its turn. Eonis. Six.
Starting point is 00:26:39 A six, okay. On a five or six, the creature takes no action but uses all of its movement to move in a random direction. So what I'd like you to do is roll a D4, and on a one you'll go north, a two you'll go east,
Starting point is 00:26:53 a three you'll go south, and a four you'll go west. Okay, is this one? A one. A one, so that's north. So you can move 25 feet? 25 feet north. All right.
Starting point is 00:27:07 So you jump down into these briars, would start to sting you, and you will take some piercing damage, but you will not take the poison damage. And you run forward, this is difficult terrain, this is difficult terrain, so you're gonna get to about there, about 15 for that. As you run through the briar and it claws at your legs and you make it out into the center of the path there.
Starting point is 00:27:28 So now Mr. Fluffy, who's right underneath it. Does Mr. Fluffy avert his eyes? He rolled so well. He rolled so well. I mean he's growing level. Right now, you're not giving commands to it because you're just doing your thing. But if you feel that Mr. Fluffy would know to get behind
Starting point is 00:27:47 or something like, I'll allow that. Okay, okay. Fuffy, Arukata! And then Fluffy knows, that means get behind it. Okay, okay, we'll allow for that. So Mr. Fluffy. Just see, he sort of shifts around to the back, staying within five feet.
Starting point is 00:28:03 All right, is he gonna make attacks? And then, yes. Okay. Plus five, so it's 12. It's a 12 tit. Unfortunately, he is not able to get through that tough exoskeleton. Viros, you are now free of your confusion. That I am.
Starting point is 00:28:22 You are? Do you know what does get through exoskeletons, folks? I'm assuming my double hand axes. I'm going to rely on my remembrance of where this creature is. Okay. Even though I cannot see it. Okay. I can smell it.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Okay, so you're gonna keep your eyes averted. It's averted. It's right there. I'm a trained professional. It hasn't moved. When the chips are down, this man rises to the occasion. So, having said all that, I have a double attack. With his eyes close.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Yeah, I just rear back, I go, smell him and just launch one, which is a 16. Plus something, you'll hit, yeah. I mean, it's a no-brainer. So I yell, suck on that again, because it's a, It was a theme earlier when I was less advantage. So here's the second attack. It's a four plus six, which is obviously a 10.
Starting point is 00:29:16 All right. So that's my double hand axes, both axes, right? So the first one hits, the second one misses. Okay, well, I mean. So roll your damage for the first one. Damage, damage, damage. Eat damage. Okay, one plus three is four.
Starting point is 00:29:30 It's four, all right. I know that much from school, so all right. The second one misses, so. Second one missed. But it's like, it's embedded in him somewhere, isn't it the first one? Just a chunk through the exoskeleton. Yes, it got through.
Starting point is 00:29:43 And there's the science that I'd practice. With that blade. Proven, I'm learning. Beryl. Didn't kill it. You are now un- I grew weary of this creature's games. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I am going to attempt from where I'm standing with my back to it. Okay. To do a back flip. Okay. Land on its back. Okay. Grab it by the mandibles and just rip them off.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Okay. Rock and roll. I think you can take the one turn to make... You said this place was steps from the water. We just haven't found the steps yet. How much did we save? Enough.

The leap to try to get on its back, I may make you wait for the next one to attempt your move.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Okay. Yeah. Okay? Yeah. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna get a sleep or hold. Acrobatics check, I think? Yeah, yeah. To try to leap up over onto its back? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I was hoping you'd say athletics, but I can do acrobatics. I'm pretty sure this is going to be acrobatics. Oh, God, I don't know about that one. We'll see. No. No. Not even close. She goes real low in a squat and just tries to launch herself up,
Starting point is 00:31:42 but she only goes like two or three feet. She doesn't. It does not, it lands back down. It does not work so well. You know what, Umbra Hulk? You can just have this road. We'll go back home. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:31:53 All right, Ricky. I'm going to pull out yet another flask. Okay. But this one is like a flat potion bottle. Okay. With a silver liquid inside. And he's going to fling it like a frisbee at the creature. Got it.
Starting point is 00:32:06 And it shatters. and I've cast moonbeam. And you're looking at him to do this? I am looking at him to do this. All right, great. So yeah, roll for that. Yes. A silvery beam of pale light shines down
Starting point is 00:32:18 in a five foot radius, 40 foot high cylinder centered on the point. Until the spell ends, dim light fills the cylinder. When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or it starts its turn there, it is engulfed in ghostly flames that cause searing pain and must make a constitution saving curve. Okay, so on the start of my turn, I'll make a con save.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Yeah. Okay, make your Christmas saving throw. Oh no. Oh no. So that would be a six. That would be a six. Yes, unfortunately you failed the Christmas saving throw. You are now confused by this creature's eyes.
Starting point is 00:32:51 But at least the spell's still there. At least the spell is still there. Oh, I do so. Glass at full Ricky. Oh, also the fairy fire goes out. Oh, that's because you're right, concentration. Concentration as well. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Nome cunning. Oh, wow. I can take it, I have advantage on Christmas saving throws. Try it again. 14 plus 3, 17. Hey, you're fine. I'm fine. It's specifically with magic.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Okay, great, yeah, perfect. All right, great, you did it. But I've had enough of this creature, and so I'm gonna go ahead and do a hypnotic pattern to distract this thing. Because you're feeling better, you're ready to go, please actually hit it this time. Very funny.
Starting point is 00:33:31 So I'm going to do a hypnotic pattern right in front of all those four eyes, all going different directions of losing caramel and peanuts. Just so intermixing and it's so early. There's textures going on and this this creature is just wanting to get its sweet tooth on. Okay, okay. So I believe I make a wisdom save against this. Give it a shot.
Starting point is 00:33:59 All right. She's like you can try. Is that what it is? Wisdom save. I do not make it. Ooh. So you need to go to a dead it. Confections.
Starting point is 00:34:11 So it stops and it starts. I roll a 14. I think you're 15? 15. 15. All right, it doesn't work. So as this happened, you see it was kind of all set and ready to go and take another bite off of another person. But suddenly it looks up and its arms and claws fall to its side and it just sort of stares into space at this swirling confection of sugar. I believe what is the effect of that? It just can't take actions, I think. Well, try and by the spell,
Starting point is 00:34:40 the creature is incapacitated, it has a speed of zero. Incapacitated, great. All y'all's stuff, I think, oh no, it stays, but we'll get rid of it, we're good. Okay, cool. It is standing there just staring at this amazing thing. I would make a con save, except I'm incapacitated. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:56 So I think I just take your damage. Heck yeah, that's 2D10. Roll your 2D10. That is 6. 6 damage from that? Six fire damage. All right. As it's sort of steering their state,
Starting point is 00:35:07 this moonlight comes down and kind of lights its face on fire. Now, if my Umberhulk takes damage while being hypnotized, sometimes that allows me to save against. The spell ends for an effective creeper, it takes damage, or if someone else uses the action. So I'm gonna try and save against it with another wisdom save. I don't make it. Mm, yes.
Starting point is 00:35:27 So it stays there, this moon being comes down, lights its face on fire, and it does nothing. What do we have another 30 seconds on that spell she's holding? Like a bug under a magnifying glass. What do we have like another 30 seconds? Oh no, you've got like a long time. Great. You've got like nine more rounds of it.
Starting point is 00:35:44 All right. That is, it's turned, it's gonna do nothing. It's just gonna stand there and stare at that thing. Eonis. Chop it down. Am I around the corner? You're around the corner. You're not in my line of sight?
Starting point is 00:35:53 No, you can fire at it. There's just a couple of trees. It's looking up. He's looking up. So I reach back and I knocked two bows. You're behind it, so you can't see its eyes. All right. Two at the same time?
Starting point is 00:36:04 Two at the same time. Cool. Roll two D20s for both of those arrows. I kissed the arrow heads. Say fly baby fly! They go through the air. Yeah. And you're gonna add plus eight, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Plus eight. Both of them. So eight and five. All right, so 13. 13. And what's the other? Oh, and 16. I'm watching both of the miss.
Starting point is 00:36:29 And I say, whoops. Split across the side and go off to the side there. I never tried that before. I usually shoot one at a time. That's my bad. I thought, now's not the time to experiment. Yonas, do anything else you want to do? You want to command Fluffy?
Starting point is 00:36:45 Because he's up next. I set Fluffy to be back and set himself up behind his legs. Okay, so he's sort of readied for something? Kind of right, even like against here in case, some of it's knocking back. Okay. So like this way? It's like that way.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Just kind of readied here at the same. Here, the side. Okay. And then, yeah, that's my. Cool. So it's under the back of his legs? So it's the back of his legs. So if you're knocked down.
Starting point is 00:37:12 All right, so Veros. We have an opportunity to run. I say, we take it. Otherwise, I'm going to push this rat bastard over onto the ground using your cat as the staircase to hell. Do it. Can we push it?
Starting point is 00:37:32 Rush it. Okay, so using my pushing maneuver. Okay. I just barrel this thing down. So I think you're gonna make an attack with your Warhammer. Oh yes, the Warhammer. And the idea is-
Starting point is 00:37:44 Because the Ax is still in it, so it's embarrassing for it. You're gonna, you're then gonna roll a D-8, I believe, add that damage, if you hit. So you start with your, start with that, roll see if you hit with your Warhammer. Yeah. And you have two tries at this.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Yep. Oh, so that nine, plus six. Plus six. Is it 15? Oh, just six, 12. 12, you will not hit with that. So try your second attack. It's a flub.
Starting point is 00:38:08 You do not hit with that. What are these rolls? I was rolling high. I know. Oh no, that's the long time for that. That is that on you, Beryl. We're gonna try it. I can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:38:20 No one's running, all right. You see Beryl stretch out Betty like a golf club? Now, and like do a couple of tests. Incapacitated, you might have advantage on your time? Yeah, I would think so. All right, so that was your first attack and you missed on both of them. Roll 2D20 for your second attack
Starting point is 00:38:34 and let's give you advantage on it, because it's incapacitated. It's a three. Well, no, you have advantage on it. Okay. These dice are just, you know. So unfortunately on both of your advantage attacks, you miss it.
Starting point is 00:38:50 What are these? What are these? Barrel, you now have advantage and attack if you want it against a incapacitated creature. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to, once again, grab Betty, stretch out, which is a golf club, take a couple of test swings,
Starting point is 00:39:03 because this thing's incapacitated. and then just a letter rip. Alright, so two attacks with the vantage. Go for it. So I got a 19. That'll hit. Okay. And then I got a two plus four plus two.
Starting point is 00:39:24 So an eight. An eight, all right, go for your second attack. Ooh, a kneecap. Mm-hmm. Oh, so I got a 20. Oh, a dirty 20, okay. A dirty 20, okay. So you're good to hit on that, yes.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Yep. Roll your damage. Ooh, I got 15, 17. Woo, on that. With these two hits, she comes forward, and with slash one, one kneecap goes. It even falls to the ground a little bit. With second one, it goes. As this happens, you can actually see that
Starting point is 00:39:58 because of that damage seems to be shaken from its hypnotic state. However, it doesn't matter. That second axe comes down right on its head. You have a dead umber hole. Yeah! Sorry about my arrows, guys. Sorry about the completely lack of performance at the end.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Anybody see where those went? You can go you're pulling out of the side of it and then and then you get out of your axes back. You continue to walk down this path. Go ahead. I'd actually like to harvest some of the Umber Hulk. You absolutely may. Yeah, so I would like some fluids or in the...
Starting point is 00:40:33 Fantastic. I'd like to also take out its eyes. Absolutely. So you have a little jar or something. So yes, you have four umberhulk eyes. Oh, okay. Now we can continue. Now we continue. You go ahead on Val's something.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I was gonna see, get rid of it. We don't wanna look at it. All right, so you continue down this path and you suddenly come to an open clearing. And in this open clearing, you see five glowing lights, just like what you have seen with the hidden ones. However, each of them is a different color. One of them is red, one is yellow, one is purple,
Starting point is 00:41:07 One is green and one is blue. In this clearing, you see no other way to leave the clearing. All you see are these lights flickering at the edge of the clearing. Yeah, let's see, Yonis, have you seen something like this before? I think I've heard tell of them. They're the lights of Manulak.
Starting point is 00:41:27 If I think they are, I can't remember now. Sure, that's what you've heard. That's what I've heard. In front of it, I present a seed. Okay. And I perform my dance. Perform your dance. To see if this is a message from the hidden ones.
Starting point is 00:41:43 As you do your dance in it, and again, you're very practiced at it now, so it goes very well. The lights glow brighter and then come back down to their normal light. And they seem to pulse a little bit, beckoning you, looking tempting. These five lights, I believe perhaps one of them might be what we're looking for.
Starting point is 00:42:04 The gym? The gym. Could be encased in one of these lights. Really? Yeah, I think I'd heard. I'm not that. Well, I would say either the red or yellow one then. Oh, because that's traditional lights of fire, yes.
Starting point is 00:42:18 That's very good scientific. Maybe we should like talk to them. Maybe. You know? Knock knock. Hi. I'm Beryl. I'm also a gem.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Which one are you talking to? All of them. All of them. Standing in the center talking to all of the lights. Surrounded by light. Okay. You've led us this far. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:39 great forest spirits. I too am from the forest. Guys are great. We come seeking your bounty of gem of fire so that we may keep it from those who would do unto others harm with it. Can you please show us the way? You can make a persuasion child. I'd like to add sort of an advantage to this by sprinkling a druid craft around and just making plant Oh, okay. Yeah, go ahead and take it with advantage. Oh, sweet.
Starting point is 00:43:13 So many offerings. So that helps, that gives me 12. A 12? Again, all of them glow brighter and then get darker. And again, just sort of pulse in the air. I'm going to... But they moved, you see. I did see that.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Walk up to them. Yes. And I'm going to go towards the red one and reach out a tiny gnome finger. A little gnome finger. and you touch it? Yes. You and this light disappear.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Oh no. Put that in front of you, please. Oh no. Okay. Ricky! Only four lights remain and the four of you. That's not good. Listen, we need to take the risks that Ricky took.
Starting point is 00:43:51 We need to believe. Ricky was bold, so must we be. Let us go, brother. Oh good. You don't touch. The purple one? You pick a purple one? You disappear, so does that light.
Starting point is 00:44:01 What do you touch? My sister in arms. She's gone. Odin. Oden. All right. Annabella? I don't know which George's right.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I don't know about that. Have you heard of any law, any stories of such? Yeah, I heard they make you disappear if you touch them, that's right. Sorry. That's got you steering in the sky. Oh, that's right. If you wanted to, you could make a roll out of that. You could, if you wanted to say a sense of like,
Starting point is 00:44:30 do you have any sense of what this is? With advantage, you can make a wisdom check about it. I kind of like go back and I kind of remember. Trying to remember if anything happened like this at you. I close my eyes and I just think about light in general. And I'm like, oh, that's right. Two, take the higher. To these.
Starting point is 00:44:47 And then I kind of like a stink in my internal roll decks. So that's that plus your wisdom? Plus my wisdom. So 13? 13. You don't know this before, but you do trust the hidden ones. Yeah. That you don't believe that they would lead you
Starting point is 00:45:04 directly into danger. I feel a sense this is not, Malevolent? Malevolent. Okay. So I jump on Fluffy? On Fluffy? Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:14 And I go and I grab the blue orb. You disappear, as does Fluffy, as does that light. One of you are left. We need to trust this. Which one? I will be behind you, my darling. I can take care of myself, and I'll go yellow. Annabella steps up, she reaches out, she touches the light.
Starting point is 00:45:32 She disappears, so does the light. Viros, you are alone in a clearing. I'm wondering if there's a time for an ale. No, probably not. Okay, I touched the green. All right, here's the green, you disappear. All right, we're gonna take this in steps. Now, each of you finds yourself standing alone
Starting point is 00:45:52 on a pathway, looking down at a cabin. Now, we'll start with you down at your end. As you stand there, you look at this cabin and you're listening and you think you can hear crying in the cabin, what would you do? You start to feel this intense, you start to feel this intense, sadness, like something terrible is happening in that cabin and your heart begins to swell and you feel this overwhelming sadness.

And one little bunny sort of reaches out, trying to just nibble this tiny little crumb that's on the table. We'll hold you there for a moment. We're gonna go to you, Ricky.
Starting point is 00:47:51 You appear in a path alone looking at this cabin. While you're standing there, inside you can hear some people screaming for their lives and another one is threatening them. However, you start to get mad. You say, God. Damn, this, nobody threatens someone in my forest. What would you do? I'm gonna rush forward.
Starting point is 00:48:12 You rush forward? Pound on the door. You knock on the door, pounding on the door. The door flies open and standing beside there is this large, dark shape and it is hovering over a cowering family of humanoid bunnies that shake in fear. We're gonna hold you there. Annabella, you come to, in this path by yourself, looking at this cabin, and you get this
Starting point is 00:48:34 horrible feeling that something awful is going on in that cabin. Something a chill runs up your spine and you begin to shake a little bit. What would you do? Can I do a healing word? Yeah. For the cabin? You want to try to... For the cabin.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Whatever's inside? Yeah. Okay. Well, you don't know what's in there. I want to heal what's in there. Whatever is in there. So it doesn't hurt anybody. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:57 So you cast a little healing word at the... You say a word towards the cabin? Yes. All right. As that happens, the door. The door opens slowly with a creak, and a little bunny with sharp teeth sticking out, and blood dripping from the fang starts to walk forward towards you,
Starting point is 00:49:17 and you are terrified. We will hold you there for a moment. Vera, though, we are now in your turn. You show up in this space and you look at this house, and you're like, fuck this house. I've seen better houses than this. This piece of crap. So what do you do?
Starting point is 00:49:29 Still curious. Okay. So I go towards it. You open the door. You look in and you see a huge, huge pile of money and sitting on top of that money is a big fat bunny. He's just sitting there and he's counting his money
Starting point is 00:49:42 and he looks at you, walks and he goes, you want my money. I don't want what he's doing, but I kind of want the money. Yeah. Okay. I'm proud of you. He's here in the distance.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Okay, we're gonna hold you there. Purple, you end up in this space and you are feeling like hot shit, like you're kind of the greatest. You say you go and you open the door. Yeah. there is like this bunny sitting at the head of the table and it sees you walk in and it goes,
Starting point is 00:50:09 oh my God, you are gorgeous. And this bunny stands up and it kind of walks towards you with a little like swagger and a step. It's a really sexy bunny. It comes up right next to you and goes, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. This bunny really wants me. Okay, so we go back to you.
Starting point is 00:50:24 You are alone. You're looking at these sad, starving bunnies. Now you're going to make a wisdom saving for all. Compassion. I feel it. I'm going to wilt my eyes. Yes. an eight plus three, so 11. 11. You look out and this little bunny,
Starting point is 00:50:42 now you see it's trying to drag itself with one arm, its other leg is like lame, and it's trying to pull itself closer to the crumb and a single tear starts to stream down your face. Anything you'd like to do? Do we have any food or anything? I probably have rations. Yeah, you've got rations, you pull food out?
Starting point is 00:50:57 I pull food out and I set it on the ground in front of me. Okay. Mr. Fluffy is there with you too, and he's He's kind of like, ah, what's going on? You sort of see him like he can't really understand what's happening. In fact, he starts to claw at your leg to try to get your attention. Fluffy, what?
Starting point is 00:51:13 This is compassion. All right, your turn? Yes. So make a wisdom saving throw. Okay. Seven. A seven. So yeah, this anger is trying to well up in you,
Starting point is 00:51:25 harder and bigger and bigger and this huge, dark shape was threatening these poor little bunnies. What would you do? I want to go and stand between the bunnies and the shape. So you run in between them and spread your arms to try and stop him? Not on my watch. Okay, fantastic.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Annabella, you're seeing this scary, vernacular, scary vampire bunnies coming towards you with its big ugly teeth. Make a wisdom saving throw. Do I add anything to that? Well, no, it's just a natural one. Just a natural one. Oh, that's a one.
Starting point is 00:51:56 So it's coming closer and closer to you and you start shaking more and more and more and you feel a scream coming on. Can I scream? You scream? Okay, I'm screaming at it. screams at it. Leave me alone. What do you do? Yeah, no, I just go like, ah!
Starting point is 00:52:10 It's like what I'm doing right now. All right. Is it scared? Is it going away? It is not going away. It's actually coming closer and closer, and it seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and its teeth longer and longer. Beryl.
Starting point is 00:52:23 So you are here with this sexy bunny standing right in front of you. Make a wisdom saving throw. Oh. 15. Suddenly, it disappears. You stand in this room, you see all of your Your compatriots are standing around you, but they see him in a weird days,
Starting point is 00:52:40 their eyes are all glazed over. And you look over onto a cot that's in this cabin. You see a little family of stuffed animal bunnies that are on the cot. You also see a big chest in the corner. As you are here, you can see that all of your friends are kind of going, you see, Yonis,
Starting point is 00:52:56 he's lying food on the floor. Ricky has run up, and he just put his hands out, and he's going, stop! And Annabella is standing at the door, going, ah! What would you do? What do you want to do? Oh man, clearly they're enchanted.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Yeah, I'm not that dumb. I don't know if I should try to shake them awake or if I should try to do something to the bunnies or if that's just gonna traumatize them more. I'm gonna walk over to Viros and slap them as hard as I can. Absolutely. You slap him across the face, make a wisdom saving throw. 13. 13 plus. Nothing, zero.
Starting point is 00:53:32 So he doesn't unfortunately wake up from that. Viros, though, we are now in your turn. this really snooty, mad little bunny. Although it's your turn again too, so make another wisdom save. Mm-hmm, yeah. 15. You suddenly snap out of it.
Starting point is 00:53:45 She slapped you and you stayed in it, and she even saw a sneer start to come up, but suddenly your eyes open and blink a little bit. And you see Beryl standing in front of you. Annabella is still screaming and shaking. He's laying out food for nothing. You also see these stuffed bunnies. What would you like to do?
Starting point is 00:54:01 You said there was a chest. There is a chest in the corner. That's where it's coming from. You think so? It's not the bunnies. Let's break it. Let's just smash it. Let's smash it.
Starting point is 00:54:11 I go over towards the chest, Warhammer. Break it open. Don't worry, you just hit it. I like one of your Warhammer, Bhaar! Yeah, bam! You hit it really hard. One thing you do in us on the chest, it does have a CF initials on it. Oh, my God. You smash the chest. You smash the chest open and the top goes over.
Starting point is 00:54:30 You smash the chest open and the top goes over. There's all kinds of am made. There's jewelry and coins and mirrors and, and, you know, and little potions, and you see a giant gem that seems to be flickering. I see the gem. I see the fire gem. I pick it up.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Okay. And I hold it in my hands. And I scream, this will go back to its right for Lona. Break the spell now! That doesn't do anything, unfortunately. All right, so we're back over at you, make a wisdom saving throw.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Oh, he's been, I'm so sorry, Bail. Best thought. Eat, why won't you eat? A 20. A 20. You're sitting here, tears streaming down your face, Fluffy's tagging, and you're laying out little crumbs of things. Suddenly you shake your head and you can see your friend standing in the middle and go,
Starting point is 00:55:22 break the spell, holding a giant. Why are they still in a trance? She's still screaming. What would you like to do? I give you a little punch in the gut to try and wake you up. Okay. Make a wisdom saving girl. Well, we could be nice about it, but whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Cold water would work. Oh no, nine. It didn't work. So unfortunately it doesn't work. We come over towards you. Make another wisdom saving throw, top of your turn. And I'm going to use my gnome cunning, because it's a magic.
Starting point is 00:55:49 A natural 20. Boom, you also wake up. Again, you took this thing to the gut that kind of didn't work, and you were like raising to get angry and hit something, and suddenly you freeze and your eyes clear and you see everything. Ana Bella is still standing in the door,
Starting point is 00:56:04 screaming and shaking. about three seconds from urine running down her leg. Oh, God. I know what's happening. It's an enchantment. So I'll run over to her and I'll slap her across the space. I'll slap her in the kneecap. Make a wisdom saving throw. One.
Starting point is 00:56:23 She's still screaming. In fact, it's getting worse. Now she drops to her knees. What did you do about? Make a wisdom saving throw for the top of return on a bell. Me? Yes. Okay. Fifteen.
Starting point is 00:56:35 15. You suddenly wake up. You all are now, you're at eye level. You start, ah, what's going on? Did you hit me? Sorry. Let's be honest, we all hit each other. So you're awake. You have the gem. What is there?
Starting point is 00:56:54 It's the gem stone. Let's get out of here. Let's get out of here. Let's go. Do you want to look at the chest? No. Look at the chest. It's probably all crows.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Probably all cursed, we should just leave it and go. I don't want nothing from this cabin. Same. We have enough money. We must go. All right. He's running. So you guys run out of the cabin. We're going back to the destination.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Fantastic. You go into the chest. You get 500 gold pieces. Oh, you bet I do. You get jewelry worth 250 gold pieces. You can take eight small painted mirrors if you'd like. You have two potions of healing. Wow. And a helm of comprehending. Wow.
Starting point is 00:57:31 And you don't have to tell Novi about that if you don't want. Oh, well, tell me later. I'll tell you. All right. So you leave the cabin. You've got the gem stashed in your house. You even do, I think, a little tracking trance. There's no footprints here, so no one's been here yet.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Right now, you are alone in this space. However, a light shows up. Now this one is a pure white light, and it starts to move through the forest and you chase it following it through the woods. And it takes you all the way back to Pine Swallow Valley. When you come there, even the last like few hundred feet, you see Christopher and Helga.
Starting point is 00:58:01 They say, ah, yes, you've made it back. We found Magnus. What? Unfortunately, he could not make it through the woods. We found his body after we came searching for you. He did not make it. I hope you found what you were after. You mean this?
Starting point is 00:58:16 Okay, who did it? Don't show it to everybody. Oh, this is my fists. He says, if you did make it through, that means that the hidden ones really truly have blessed you and believe in you. And indeed, I have a funny way of showing it.
Starting point is 00:58:29 The light that you were following kind of spins and circles around, and suddenly a very short man about two feet tall with a big pot belly, and he's covered in long, scraggly hair, and he's got long limbs, and he sort of looks at all of you. He smiles and waves, turns back into his little light and flies away. You see the eyes of Christopher and Helga,
Starting point is 00:58:52 and they are upright with joy, and they say, today is truly, truly blessed. You have done well by the forest. What a sweet little old man that just appeared. So yes, you find your way back to relics and rarities. You bring her the fire gem. Yay! I found that.
Starting point is 00:59:12 So you found the fire gem. You brought it back to Professor Rowland. He's so grateful for this. She says, well, I think I shall have to spend the night going over some of the rest of these and we'll see what we can do tomorrow with your adventure. I told you I wouldn't get lost, didn't that? Right. It was really smooth.
Starting point is 00:59:29 But really, we owe a debt to you, Eonius. Yes. Thank you, Eones. Your pack looks a little heavy there. Hmm? I don't know what you're talking about. And Mr. Fluffy, what a fantastic cat. Yes. Fluffy and I will miss you. We spent a short amount of time together, but it was full of adventure,
Starting point is 00:59:46 and I'd fight alongside you any day. He also realized I should have cast a couple of spells that I knew to get us past that first beast, but I just love the adventure. The war is over, and Both sides lost. Kingdoms were reduced to cinders and armies scattered like bones in the dust.
