Welcome back. So, leaving off from last week's episode, We, the party of intrepid adventurous Vox Machina,

trying to save the whole of Taldore from the Chroma Conclave, a collection of chromatic dragons that have destroyed many of the main cities here, have gone about searching for items called the vestiges of divergence, magical artifacts from a war of ancient times that apparently holds some great power that could aid in defeating these dragons. One of which apparently is being held by Kevdak,

the leader of the herd of roaming, kind of tribal barbaric individuals that Grog once belonged to and had beaten the crap out of and left Grog for dead long ago. While the dragons had destroyed part of Western and left it behind, this tribe utilized that time to take over the town, enslaving or keeping most of the people under their thumb, and making an accord with the one black dragon, Umbrasil, that is currently kind of an tenuous relationship right now with these herd members. of the storm, as they're known. You, having sent a fugitive to their death via a trap on the

outside, found your way into the city, saved some of the individuals that lived there, as well as Kaylee and Dr. Dr. Dranzel, and Grog went ahead and issued a challenge to the herd to meet with Kevdak himself. After some fairly decent intimidation checks, it was agreed, and while most of the party stealthed behind, you made your way to the very center of the town square. where Kevdak left off the top of the ex-Margraves homestead, and the two of you began to do battle in a pit of spikes that was gathered in the center of the town square, surrounded by a number of the clan watching on.

During this fight, it went back and forth a bit before Grog felt that this was a losing battle, should it continue in this way, and decided to, at least in me, call out to his friends for aid with the classic Shakespearean battle cry of Vox Machina, fuck shit up! That's from Corey Alainis. Sorry, Coriolanus, thank you.

And with that is what we're picking up. So... Before we go, I have to inspire everyone. What's this? What the fuck out of here? What did you? What are you? Oh my God! I want a D10. Ashley's like somewhere.

Somewhere. I can't even see her. She's on your way out of here. I'm like, Daisy. Please tell me that was a gift from somebody. No, I made this myself. Because I wanted you all to know how passionate I was about tonight. Sam. I love you so much. Could you kiss your right gun?

Is Ashley there? Your other gun. Kiss that bicep. Kiss it. Kiss it. Yeah! Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh, God. Oh, no. It tastes like stress. and sweat. Yeah, imagine that. Oh, my shirt. Inspiration granted, then immediately take it away. Do your pants also have photoshoped lightning coming out of the crotch?

No, my pants are just genius. Wait, how far down is it go? All the way, baby. All the way, baby. Yeah, all the way. It's the first step of the process. Oh, my gosh. Did you like, put that at home with like a...

Yeah, I just, I pencil at home. She's a simple bit. I can't even... That's a thing. That's a thing. Oh my God. All righty. So with that, we are going into the realm of battle. Do, do, do. Let's go and kick on the proper music for this.

So with Vox Machina currently on the rooftops here and hiding within the bottom of this building, we have the four archers that have appeared on the rooftop of the Margueray's house. We have most of the individuals that are surrounding this, along with the few innocent, which, just for the sake of appearance here, I will go ahead and attempt to mark with a few markers so you know who you're looking for, innocence-wise. Oh, boy. We're the Innocence Map. We're the Innocence. No, you're not. Not anymore. All right. So the red markers are going to act as markers

for the innocent, just so you're aware. You have controlling us in person. Oh, good. Oh, gross. Person. Tell us. You're on that room. I'm over in the top right corner.

You see me up there. Percy's over there. All righty. I'm going to laugh at those archers if they try shit. That all being the case, guys, as Grog shouted, at this moment, the individuals in the center of the square starts looking around confused, not knowing where to come from. At this moment, a few of them managed to catch up a glance

at the individuals that are on the rooftops. I need everyone to roll initiative, along with you, Grog, because combat has begun again at this point at the top. I can yell it. Wait, all of us? All of us. Come on. We go. This has started.

Oh, okay, all right. Which one? Yeah, uh-uh. Good job, babe. Good job, baby. That's not amazing. That's okay. That's better.

Alright, okay. No. 14. Okay. Wait, did you roll? No, no, that one. 14. But like, I'm still.

You're still ahead of me. No. You've got rid of shit. I'll move a 20. But. But. You can hold. Is he laughing?

I guess he's fucking evil. Is that what you said? Who said that? You can move. And then move, take your bonus action. All right. So, for the sake of this one, we have 25 to 20. 25 to 20.

27. Damn, damn, girl. All right. 24. 24. 21. 21. Okay, so we have...

It's pretty good. What do we do? Oh my God. People want it to go first? Yep, no, see? All right, 20 to 15? Wait, oh, you're 20. 18.

18. All right. Did you roll. What I might hold. Amazing. Yeah, do whatever you want. Yeah. All right, 15 to 10.

14. 14. 13. 12. Yay. Pike, getting in the double digits. Oh, you know. You know?

You know? I'd rather have my low road here. Oh, gosh. Oh, God, oh God, oh God, oh God. It's like a roller coaster. We're just going, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tch, tch, tch. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Brace the madness.

A lot of here and keep your track of guys, so. Brace the madness. All right, so. If you're nervous, just picture Kevdak naked. He is naked. It's not helping. He's basically naked. All right, so the surprise round affects all the archers.

It affects everyone, except for these four individuals, or these two individuals with the clubs. And these two individuals with the clubs. these two women here with big swords and kevdaq. So, top of the round. Is me. Vax. Does the second story of the house that I'm in have windows? Can I see?

The second story does. Can I run up the stairs then so I can get a better look at the playing field? Actually, this one was supposed to go this way for the entrance point there. Okay. All right. So you are currently now, Looking out the side of the window. Okay. I'm going to, I'm already hiding.

Right, no one's seen you at this point. Okay, then I'm going to Hunter's Mark Kavdak. Okay. And I'm going to hold my turn. Putting a green on him for the... Hunter's mark. I'm going to hold my turn until it seems like he's better incapacitated or until something happens. I'm going to hold my turn.

your action until he is, until, I think, until Scanlan goes. Okay. I'm ready. I'm here to help. Yeah. So that finishes your turn. Vax, you're up. Am I at a window as well downstairs? You are by a door. Am I, like, half on the street? In the door? You're in the house. You're inside the house right now. The door is technically partially ajar because you guys did slip in. All right. I'm going to click my boots. boots, crack the door a few inches, and I'm going to hold my turn until one of our magic uses pulls a trick or Kevdak takes a swing at Rog.

Okay. That'll end your current actions. The archers are surprised. They do not go. It is Kevdak's turn. Kevdak sees you shouting out to the... Here you roll a natural 20 on his initiative. No, he did it. That's why you shook your fucking head. Yeah. I was like, man, all right, let's start this right. That's Wheaton.

That's Wheaton. Fucking Wheaton. Fucking Wheaton. They had Wheaton come in and toss all my stuff. Wasted no time. All right, so he's going to go ahead and seeing you shout like this, he looks about for a second. He's going to continue his rage. He is, he glances about, looks over and s, yeah, he's.

I was going to say I'm hiding, though, so... He sees nothing immediately on the rooftops, but looks down at this individual now shouting out for help for him, prostrate, and he kind of gives you a glance and says, Well, this seems real familiar, doesn't it, Stronga? At which point he's going to go ahead and take two of his reckless attacks against you. That's going to be a... You had a...

I could, yeah? Okay, I was just reminding you. You don't have to. I know. No, don't do it. All right. That's going to be a 28 to hit. I'll have to look, but I think it hits.

Second attack is a 30 to hit. These aren't great weapon master, right? 30 to hit. No, these are not great weapons. 30 to hit? What is his? Attack fucking bonus. Off the challenge.

I don't know. Insane. At least 10. At least 10. Oh, higher than that. You take 30 points of slashing damage. This is from the first shot? Reduced to 15.

And... Gold. Wow. Two points of necrotic damage because it is not reduced. Right. And the second one is going to be 22 points of slashing damage reduced to 11, and then five points of necrotic on top of that. However, for the second slash, I'm going to use cutting words to reduce the damage.

Okay. So, before he does that, you said 17 on the first one, 11 on the second attack, and how much necrotic? Five necrotic. Seven overall. Because two necratic on the first hit. You see, you're going to see, it's six points in him. You have to get a little bit closer to make sure that he can hear you. Unless that would be giving away your hiding. What are you going to do, Sam?

I step forward closer to him and I use cutting words. I use cutting words. Okay. Using this as a way to keep it up there. You set to the very edge of the rooftop here. Oh, good. I'll say for the sake of this, right there. And I shout,

Oi, Kevdak, I have a message from the people of Western. And I moon him. And I say, kiss our metaphorical hairy arses. Just like that on your shirt. Yes. As he brings around, His axe or a second swingy hears that and glances over his shoulder and sees the shiny gnome butt up off the top. Continuing the swing, though, to attack, go ahead and reduce the damage using your cutting words.

Ten, right? Uh-huh. So you have to take ten points of flashing damage from that strike. Reduced a... Oh, that counts. ...reaction. Oh, you're wielding myth carver. So his next saving throws at disadvantage.

Yes, it is. Okay. That will end. Well, Kevdak is going to, because you're not currently wielding your weapon, he's going to go ahead and take a step back and kind of like glance over at you as he's going to move his fingers up and point towards the roof. And you see a bunch of the other entities and the archers, whoosh, shift their attention over in your direction. All right, that finishes Kebdak's turn. Scaling, you're up next. Yeah, I know.

Actually, you do get an attack. Just a tag opportunity on him with a fixed. Don't take it. Yeah. Because you're not holding your war hammer right now. I've rolled a five plus what? My strength? Well, it's, yeah, your shake modifier plus your proficiency modifier.

It should be five plus three. 13. 13 now. You punch the back of his, you punch his back and it just kind of hits off his muscle. Hey, you keep your eyes, perfect. All right, same year off. Okay.

From my crouched butt out position, whilst holding my hand cone of clarity. Where are you holding it? Yeah, no, what? It's shoved up there. Between the legs upside down. Yeah, yeah. The old upside down.

All right. Before I make this attack, when I scanned around, did I see any of his allies without any weapons or carrying a staff or something like that? No, they're all the kind of, the kind of, you know, the time of people that would be at all times wielding something at their side. There are two individuals that you do notice. There is this one here, and there is green beard right there, and they both appear to have some sort of a quarterstaff type walking

from them, but everything else seems bladed or giant clubs or some sort of big melee. But they're surprised anyway. They are, yes. Okay. Okay. Well then I will cast hold person at level three. on Kevdak. On Kevdak? Yes. Hold person. Okay.

Oh boy. At level three so I get to target one other individual. You would, yeah. And I would target the beardy guy with the staff. Beardy, dirty. Okay. All right, hold person for a minute. See, wisdom saving throw, pallies for the duration.

Okay. Wisdom saving throw with disadvantage. With disadvantage, yes, that is true. Kevdak, all right. Because of cutting words. Okay, no, that was good. That was good. That's a...

He rolled a 19 and an 8. Taking the 8, that brings it to a 10. That's a failure on him. Oh, yeah! That's good, that's good, that's good. D-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Does he damp, can you... He's paralyzed.

Does it unparalyze him if we hit him? No, he takes... It's just paralyzed. Yeah. You can have out. Adam. Can I still move and do other things? You can't. In a moment, we have to figure out if the other guy makes his save. Oh, that's right. He rolls a natural one. Great. Straight up a natural.

Yay! Oh man, the rest of the people are gonna be real pissed. This is where my whole turn comes in. Me too, but I was in front of you. Yeah, go for it. If you hit him, does he become not paralyzed? No, no, no. He's stuck. He's stuck. Okay.

Yes. At the end of each of his turns, the target can make another wisdom saving throw. And paralyzed, for those who are aware, the paralyzation does. Paralyzed creature is incapacitated, you can't move or speak. Armacquay fails, strength, and dexterity-saving throws. Attack rolls have advantage. And any attack that hits the target is a critical hit if it's within five feet of the creature.

Oh, five feet. Damn. Oh, but that's good for Grog. Okay. Wait, I still get my move, right? Oh. Okay. I'm gonna, is there any cover?

Are there chimneys? Are there anything I can duck behind. You mean you can duck behind the other side of this roof, if you'd like. And still maintain sight? Oh, wait, no. I'd be more than 60 feet away. Yeah, you'd be more than 60 feet away.

It's more the casting time. You can still move away once you've cast the spell and hold it there. Okay, then I'll duck back behind some cover. And as my bonus, I still get a bonus, I will inspire Grog and I'll say, Grog! Grog!

Now it's your turn to fuck shit off. All right. And that finishes your turn, Scanlon? Yeah, that's it. Grog, you're up. Yes. He's paralyzed. Yes, and you will automatically cut.

You watch as he steps away from you, points up, and all the archers turn towards that. Everyone else looks over at the rooftop, and you hear just cacophony of voices around going, just growling before Kevdat takes another step in. You see the gleaming ass of Scanlan in the distance. The high, noonday sun kind of just bouncing off of his pale, sun dappled, nomish skin.

These two round globes of victory staring down. From the rooftop. Round globes are victorious. I'm so descriptive. You can all walk around to the front of Kepdak. Do you want to pick up your weapon first? No. Nope.

Oh, shit. Do the twins go first or does Grog go first? It's okay. You got to take your reaction. So do you. Okay. Do your thing. Take your reaction.

I'm going to go. I'm going to go. All right. So we have now, Vex, take your shots. Yes. I'm going to shoot from my long bow of the sky sentinel. Okay. That's three attacks on the first attack.

Yes, and they'll have advantage because he's paralyzed. This is bad for Kevdak, but we'll see how long... Okay. It's still raging, so everything's still at half damage. So 19 plus 12 probably hits on the first attack. Yeah, that does. Okay. 19 plus 12 hits on the second.

Yep. And 17 plus 12 hits on the third. Yeah, they all hit. Okay. I'm addressing my glasses. I'm so nervous. Okay. 28 on the first hit.

28, we're just at 14, okay. 9, no, 21 on the second hit. Ooh! Okay, reduce that to. Get him, Beebe. 16 on the third hit. Okay, mine's up to eight. So all the arrows strike true,

but still each one is only piercing the flesh so far. He's just generally so dense in his musculature that each impact is not having the same satisfying sound that you're used to. But that ends your held action, and it is not Now your turn. But I get another attack because that's just one of the sky Sentinel. Go for it.

So take your second attack. My second attack, I'm going to take it Greenbeard, and I'm going to shoot through the flaming bowstring. Okay. 17 plus 12 probably hits. 17 plus 12. Yeah, that's going to hit. Okay.

14 on that one. 14, okay. 14 damage to him. Green beard is currently stuck there in place. the air just sinks into his robe and you don't even see the impact. It just kind of like absorbs into the cloth and he goes, ugh. You hear the kind of the escaping air from the impact, but he can't actually move. Hunter's Mark.

I, Hunter's Mark. You did the damage. You did the damage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At this point, you better. We're not panicking. No, not at all. No, not at all. Where's the truck board? Just to verify, just to verify, because Kevdak is still raging, am I denied the surprise attack from inside here?

Correct. So I'm going to use a sharpshooter and drop five to hit harder. I'm going to throw a dagger at advantage, yeah. So you're moving up into the doorway. Yeah, to the doorway, right? Who are you attacking? Hevdak. Hevdak.

60 feet. 60 feet. Okay, yeah, you can get right into there and probably still hit them from here. Because you're sharp shooter, you don't have the second increment range. Go for it. Right, so it's 25. That hits. Big up.

Four. Oh, hold on. I'll save that four. 25, okay. So six, four, plus six, ten, six, ten, fifteen, twenty one, twenty six, seven, three one,

uh, 37. That's not a guy yet. 37, you've got half of that. I'm gonna put it at 18. Okay, I'd like to use my bonus action to throw the next. You got to the held action. The held action is just your action.

Oh, okay, you did clicking the boots of haste already. I thought that was a gimme. Oh, that's the bonus? No, that's your bonus because we held our turn. The idea being that when you hold your action, you have an action that you hold till it triggers. And you wait for it. The bonus action is a whole different thing

that you have to take on your turn. So taking a hold as an action? I don't understand. Holding your turn loses your bonus action. Essentially, you have your action and your bonus action. Holding your action means you hold that one point, but the rest of your turn still continues past it. Which doorway, where am I on the map?

You're right. himself right there. Could I run to the corner of the building that the archers are on and scrabble up the side of it? Over here? Get to that archer. You can certainly try it, so it's... You rush past one of the peasants who's just fear in their face, and they're just confused, looking around. You see there's mud and a little, like, trickle of blood that's dried down their face. As you just shift by and they go, ah, ha!

You don't even pay me too much mind to them. It's kind of ten, three, three, forty, forty, four, four. Maccobatics check? Maconacrobatics check. 30. 30. You managed to make it up to the top. Do I have an action left?

No, you use your action. That's it. Action, bonus action with... Technically you wouldn't be able to move at this point even, but I'm letting you do that. Usually your move, you're... All right, so I guess. This is the most epic map ever, by the life. Yeah.

I think it's just chilling in the house. All righty. So that ends your hell in action. in action, now Grog and you're up. Can I walk around to the front of Kepdak, please? Okay. Knowing that he pointed up with a hand at Scanlan's beautiful ass, and still on his great axe, paralyzed, can I try and rip,

continuing my rage because he hit me last round, can I pull the axe from his hand? Go ahead and make an athletics check. He's going to fail, I'm sorry. With advantage, because you are raging. 27. Oh. The blood acts from his grip. Yes.

Because I'm frenzied raging. Do I have another move? I mean you- Can I hit him with it? Let's check on that. I don't know if it's an attack action base, because you didn't take an attack action. You used your action and pulled it away.

Yeah. So looking at that right now, is the berserker is here. Let me see. Lots of rules tonight, guys. Upper level rules. No, it's bonus action. See how you would if you want to. The weapon isn't attuned to you, so it would just act as a regular axe, possibly.

Make it attuned to you. Throw it away. It's a short rest. Or put it in the bag of holding. Can I looking at the axe, say, Say, oh, I do hope you have a necromancer in your group, because I'm looking at a fucking dead man. Can I aim right above the gauntlet below the elbow on his left arm? Like just swing to his side with the axe?

On his left arm? Sure. You're going to be, it's going to be even... Okay, so you're raging. Raging. Advantage. Reckless attack would be the advantage if you wanted to. Well, he did it against me, so I get it against him. We have advantage against attacks with him anyway, just because he's paralyzed.

I'll say it'll have... Yeah, no. Okay, you have advantage in the attack, but I will say it's a general minus five to the attack, just because it's like a very specific called shot. Go for it. Do it, do it. 20. All right, go ahead and roll damage.

I don't know what the attack bonus is with the axe, but that's a D12. It's a D12. and add your strength modifier. Okay. Jesus. That's it. That's the top one. That's the one.

That's one. Four D12. Yeah, no, you wouldn't. Do you wouldn't. Strength modifier, which would be. Character wouldn't. Three. Three.

So five. Five. That's just so sexy. You hack the blade and it sinks quite a bit into the arm right above the elbow. You can see as you pull it out, a bit of bone is exposed from it, but the arm is still intact.

It wasn't enough damage to go through, but he's like, ugh. And it hit him, right? So is it an automatic critical because it hit? Because you were than five feet, so yes. So double the dice. So was you all the dice? So was it two.

So four. So instead it would be seven damage. Still not enough. Okay. But you do do a significant amount of damage to his left arm. It is now open hands gripping nothing. Actually the one hand was holding the axe, the one he was pointing up. So he's like, looking at you right now, so blood begins to just kind of

seep out of the fresh wound on his left arm. Do I have any of my movement left? Could I move around behind him? 50. 50. You can move three more spaces, yeah. I'll either flank him, yeah. Three, that's where you can get right there.

Okay, that ends your turn. Surprise back, Percy, you're up. That'd be fun. Let's see what happens. All right, first thing I'm going to do is cast Hex on Kevdak, on the asshole. I'm going to hex him. Cast hex on the asshole. All right.

So he is now enveloped in my dark smoke of death. He's also now disadvantaged all strength checks. Okay. That's just a thing. That's a thing with that's not going away. So yeah, so you watch as Grog walks around him, Grog's shadow seems to stretch out from his form, reach up, and wrap itself around, almost merging with the tattoos across his torso. So the actual bear tattoo almost seems to be almost covered with shadow.

I'm going to... I love you. I know. I'm so happy. I'm going to take just a little step back to get just a slight bit of cover from those archers for when they start hearing the big bang bangs coming from the house. Just to get like half cover. Which one are you going? You're on...

I'm going to my, from my current vantage point to about seven o'clock, eight o'clock. About here? Yeah, about there. Okay. Just for a little bit of cover from the arrows. from the arrows. And I can still see Kevdak. So if I wanted to take my little pistol

and just start carving a little, and I've got a little nice little chunk of bone I can see in his arm. Can I start sharpshootering? Can I take a sharpshooter disadvantage to hit that point? You could, yeah. So I'm going to shoot with sharpshooter for specifically for his arm.

His left arm. you do not have a view on her. Oh. I would say from your perspective on the rooftop, because he was turned this way and is facing up this way, you have just a big old view of his back and shoulders. Okay, I'm going to take a shot for the elbow. I'm going to start trying to...

On this arm? On the visible elbow. Okay. I'm just going to... Stripshooter through that shit. See what happens. Okay. Go for it.

Okay, and I'm happy if you want to put any weird to... You have advantage on the attack because he's paralyzed? No, I don't, because I'm in... Because I'm at distance. Or do I have advantage? He's paralyzed. He's paralyzed. You have advantage on that, and then you have disadvantage because it's a called shot plus minus five.

Okay. That's fine. But I get the bonus ten points still. You would if you hit. Okay. All right. That's fine. Natural 20.

Oh! Oh my God, are you serious? Yeah. Yeah. Should he use the big gun, really? All right, that's okay. So that's, oh, hello baby. You're over here.

Actually, I'm going to use the pink one. What's the first range increment for the pistol? Uh, 400 feet. 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. You know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe,

I got to 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.

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. 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 gotta feel that to believe it, believe you me.

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 wash denim shirt. Not only do they feel great, but I unequivocally look good as hell while wearing them.

No, sorry. Cut. I know, I thought about that. Come on, baby, no whamies. Do I just double the dice? Double the dice and then add the modifier to it. Okay, so that's 16. 32 points of damage for the first shot.

32 points of damage? Okay, half of that into 16. Everybody's about to wake up, though. You watch as the blast hits under the side of this arm, the arm actually hyper extends, and part of the bone shoots out this side, and he goes, Just go to him is out. The arm's not, you know, it looks like it's in a rough place. I'm shooting again. Same thing? Pugh, phew!

Oh my god, he's gonna shoot his arm off. Do it again, Tull, let's do it again. 17! Yeah! Yum! I'm rolling good. 17, 20, 27. With a disadvantage?

No, it's cancels out because he's, there's no advantage, no disadvantage, right? Advantage he's paralyzed, yeah. Yeah, right, straight roll. 17, 8,000, 25 to hit, that hits. to hit, that hits. This is like 127 hours, except with a gun. That's my title of my 127 hours with a gun.

And really, this is happening in about 10 seconds. I know. I actually, also, I rolled the wrong dye. He didn't take nearly, but that's okay. Too late. Too late. Too late. I know, I fucked that up.

I know, so I did okay. Five, six, seven, eight. Don't get cocky, don't get cocky. 24 points of damage. 24 points of damage. Point standard is minus that to 12? Is this the same elbow? Same elbow.

Bosh! You see now the arm actually is kind of dangling now from what looks like some sort of sinew and bone that is just kind of barely keeping it on at this point. Do I go for Kevdak or do I go? I'm going to go for my third. Can I borrow your pink day six? I want to bowie this shit. Do you want to go all bowie? I want to be flamboying as fuck.

All right, I'm going to call it. 14, 15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 18. 24 to hit. That hits. Goodbye elbow. Hopefully, hopefully. Oh, no, not bad. Five, six, seven, seven.

23 points of damage. Woo! Over that to 11. Okay. This shot hits the elbow again. Actually, like, destroying a big portion of the portion of the upper forearm. It's now essentially but a single left over bicep muscle that's kind of holding it in place as blood just kind of pouring from the wound right now. Who wants bacon? All right, I'm calling it for now.

All right, that ends Percy's turn. Not bad. Keyliff, you're off. I feel pretty good about that. Okay. I'm going to roll up this roof, like a big ominous fog cloud. Up here? And come up. And I want to do a whirlwind on those two archers up. Up here? Are you coming up in the hearing? Yep. All righty. Let's take this one here.

Buh. So they must make a DC-13 strength saving throw. Okay. I haven't even burned any grit yet. I'm so excited. There's a balancing here. There we go. A DC what? Oh no. Oh no. Killed-D. Oh no! Ironically crushed by a tree? Oh, yeah. Curse you nature. All right. What's the DC on that?

The thing that she loved killed her. Oh, DC. 13. Strength. Strength? Yeah. Strength, check or save? This is saving throw. Oh, damn. Does he still have a disadvantage?

Maybe she's not on second. Okay, one of them fails, one of them succeeds. Okay, so the one that fails takes 3D8 plus two bludgeoning damage, which is pretty good. Oh, God. You're doing so good. Eleven. And he's flung 20 feet away. Embrace your chaos.

In a random direction. Alright, a random direction? All right, choose the direction. Dice. That's a one. So I get flung this way. 20 feet? Yep.

5, 10, 15, 20. Falls prone there. It's another 1D6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet he was thrown? Yes, that would be 2D6. That puts it, and I rolled 2 double 6 isn't that, so 12. Oh, yeah. And he's knocked prone. Yes, he is knocked prone.

It just came out. And the other guy. As this whirlwind of... Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Yeah, you see like... Tasmanian devil. Of the roof itself up there, portions of the rooftop are cracking off and spinning the void of wind that Kilo is currently creating within herself. Portions of the tree branches are swirling into it as various leaves and dead plant life that had been scattered around the roof are just all filling this giant vortex that disappeared on the roof of the Margraves' house, tearing into both the arches.

off, landing face first, the other one takes half damage. Takes half damage. Okay. All right. You're doing. Five points bludging damage. All right. So finish your turn? Yep. All right. Pike, you're up. I have a similar thing. Yeah, Pike. Come on. Mike! Remember Pike? I, since I can't reach Kevdeck, I'm just going to send over a spiritual weapon.

Okay. The range is 60 feet. Yeah. Spiritual weapon. Is it Ketic? That's level two? I want to do it at a higher level. I'm going to do it at a level five. Five? Five? Oh! It's a big one.

All right. So. It's the shape of Madeline Khan and is out for blood. We'll use this metal D20. Where you want to place to you? Just right above him. We'll say in this central kind of area. All right. I don't even know, like a big, just like a...

What weapon of Sarin-Rae's retribution would you want to summon in spirit to form upon Kevdak? A bear trap. I just wanted to be a big sword. Okay, so a large, great hand sword, almost a light reflection mirror image of the craven edge that nearly tore the soul from your crown. The giant one? A large light blade of Sarin-ray's wrath just emerges out of the stonework in the center of the square.

Floats in the air for a second, and you want to go ahead and make that, this is your bonus action. This is a bonus action. This is a bonus action. Yeah, yes, you can't use it. If you want to use your action cast spell, you can't do them higher than a level two right now. Because the limitations on the spell and our homebrew. However, do you want to have an attack? Yeah.

All right, go ahead and roll for the attack. Yeah. With advantage. Oh! Never mind. That would be a natural twist. Team, boom, motherfucker! Oh, motherf!

We talked for a week! Hundreds of text messages. Hundreds of text messages. Wait till the surprise round's over. You mean 30 seconds? So, you're looking at... What do we do? That's 4D8.

Okay, and I'm going to use Divine Strike to make it 5. D8? Well, that's only on your melee attacks, not your actual spells. Sorry, you're already about asking. It's okay, never mind. So, roll 48, multiply that. 4D8. Multiply by two.

Critical hit? Yeah, it's critical. Oh my God. What did you say? You'd roll 48 times two. So 22 plus your wisdom modifier. Forty-eight was only a lot. 30.

So 30, half that to 15. Hey, that's good. For this guy, you know that's perfect. Strikes down onto the now currently brutalized Kevdak, who is still held in place angrily being wailed upon by the majority of you. So much more than you. So much more than that.

All right, so what else you want to do this turn, if anything? Oh yeah, you can do other things. You can move, you have an action. That's a bonus. It'll last for a minute and it's not concentration. Yeah, I should probably, I should probably talk. But there's a bonus action, you can make it move and attack every round, so. Awesome.

Okay, so I'm going to, would it be possible to get down on that bottom roof and hide? Here? Yeah. You could. Clang, clang. Clang. Glung, gung, gung. Flang, clang, clang, went the clarid.

Oh, no, no. I wrote one. I felt good. Yeah, no, that felt. I don't just feel shame. What happened? What's the total? Fresh off the 20.

Pike looks over the edge, leaps, hits a little bit to the side. Her feet actually break from the weight of the armor and the angle you hit, break some of the shingles in the rooftop, and you end up slipping onto your shield. onto your shield and you slide off the roof down. D-da-da-da-da-da-down on the ground there. Oh, God.

You take seven points of damage from the fall and you're not prone currently on the ground as you now see staring at you, you're prone, a number of these angry herd members that are all like just intent on murder at what's been happening. I still think you're really cool. It's okay, I can run out of there with Mr.

We still love you. Okay. All right, Pike, that ends your turn now. Oh, gosh. No. I could do some more stuff. So she's made of armor. It's so hot in here.

No, it's so hot. No, I'm so hot. They're coming for you, Pike. You have a reaction or something? Seriously. Pike, they're all coming for you. Yeah, you're dead. You have a reaction of some sort?

I die tonight. Do you have a reaction? Don't die. You're not dying tonight. She's made a armor. It's okay. We're gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine.

They're people with sticks with sharp sticks. Oh, God. She's gonna die. She's not gonna die. She's not in my life. Not in one round. There's only one guy who ran up to him. Yeah, there's only one.

Would it say reaction here? Yeah. She knows what her reaction is. All right, so three of these individuals, some of which you may have passed in your times, and two of which you see are members that were kind of absorbed into the tribe from what was previously the River Mall tribe, give out these angry roars and go into an immediate rage,

breaking the surprise element and just charge. Three of them on you, one of them goes darting across the field right towards you, Pike. With that, these, I'll pull up the sheet here. These herd of the storm warmongers are going to go apeshit on your ass. Grog, that's six attacks on you, because the flanking rules, that's going to put four of the mid advantage. Pull that, yeah. So first one is going to be a 18 to hit.

Misses. Misses. The first one goes and swings towards you and you just duck underneath and it misses you by a mile. However, as that's happening, another blade comes the other direction. That's going to be a 25. That hits. Natural 20. The third one, so one hit.

The second one's going to be a 28. So that's two hits and a critical, and then one that doesn't have advantage on you with both strikes. It's going to be a 23 that hits and a 16 that misses. You do have inspiration. Four hits and one crit. I can't use it on this stuff, though. All right. All right. You can use inspiration.

So the four hits first. It's going to be seven, 15 points of slashing damage. Reduced to seven? Reduced to seven. Right? Yeah. Oh. Nineteen points of slashing damage, reduced to eight. Okay. 13 points of slashing damage, reduced to six. It's fine. And another 13 reduced to six. Now for the crit.

I would like to remind you that potions are a bonus action. Seven, 14 plus eight. That's me 22 points of slashing damage on that, reduced to 11. You are a tank. He unless he's unconscious. Pike. So you're just now surrounded to all sides.

Kevdak's there before you, but you've now been completely swarmed in by three of these entities. Pike. This one rushes towards you, this female half-up. You can see a line of drool from her face from just the sheer speed that she was running in the froth that was forming at the corner of it. She leaps into the air, blade in front, and it's going to come down in your tiny form. That's a... All right, so it's a 28 to hit on the first one.

And 28, rolled 18s on both of the damage ones. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Alright, so two hits on you. You take 19 points of six points of six. slashing damage from the first strike? That's not halved. No, it's only halved. Only because he's raging.

I'm a barbarian, too. Not 19 on the first strike. The second one is 13. So that's a total of 32 points of slashing damage to you. And that's going to end the barbarian's turn. Everyone else finishes out the surprise round. Now we're back into full initiative. Everyone's in play.

Top of the round, Vex, you're up. Okay. If I aim an arrow, it's a disadvantage. If you were aimed specifically for something, it would be a disadvantage and a minus five to hit. Okay. I'm going to cast, I'm going to cast... I mean, he's paralyzed, so it would have advantage, so it would cancel out. It would be just a regular attack at minus five.

Okay, here's my question. Yes. The siege arrow that Percy gave me, is that a magical weapon or a technical weapon? It's a technical weapon. It's used for, used essentially against structures objects. So just structures. It's an explosive in an arrow that is used primarily to just destroy structures, yeah. So it wouldn't harm people? I mean, we're having a regular arrow. It might do a little bit extra, but... Not anything crazy.

Not that you know of, you don't have a full understanding of what the arrow is capable of. You do not create it. I gave you the big debrief with the arrow. Like, I gave you the how to... I know, I know, I know, I know. What you're doing? Hurry. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay, I'm going to cast Hale of Thorns at third level into a group, the group. At Kevdak.

No. Whatever you're going to do. Just do it. I'm going to do it at Kevdak and anything that is close to him gets hit. Okay. Within five feet of him? You're doing it at what level? At level three.

It says 3D10 points of piercing damage. All righty. Okay. So go ahead and make an attack. against Kebdak that is going to be with advantage, because it's not an aimed shot, so go ahead, take it. Natural 20. Are you serious?

You've been doing it all night too. I figure, you know, it's only fair. Holy cow. Not like one. No, you've had more than one. Two. Two, okay. Two for Kebdak's initiative.

But it's not critical against you. That's true. It could be worse. All right, so go ahead and roll against Kevdak. That is going to be six. Or 3D10 times two. Oh. A little fortune, definitely.

Yeah, oh. The burning power. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. 20 plus an additional, oh no, Hunter's mark dropped because it's a concentration. Yes, for that one. But I am sneaking attacking.

Yes, you are. An additional six. Oh, that's 12 then, because it doubles the dice, right? Correct, yes. So that's 32 points of damage. 32 on him, reduce that to 16. reduce that to 16 piercing. All righty.

And then all the rest of them have to make dexterity saving throws against your spell DC. What's your spell DC? That includes Grog. 15. Come on, Groggy. What was it? 15.

What 15? You got to make a save to get out of the way. Dex save for 15. With inspiration. With inspiration. I'm going to need it. 17. Yeah.

All right, so half damage to you, Grog. Okay. Which is halved again a quarter. Because it's a whole group of raging individuals. 16, half, it's eight. Eight damage. Two of them succeed as well and also take eight damage. They're barbarians as well?

Yep. They're raging? They're raging. Yeah. And then one of them takes full damage at 16. All righty. So that concludes your action you want to move or stay where you are. If I lie on my broom, can I go down and grab pie?

pike as an action, I mean as a movement? It's going to be a hard pressed for you this turn to pull out your broom. I mean, have you been clutching your broom with you this whole time, you just kind of lean it up against the wall as you head down there. Okay, I'm going to stay where I am. And I'm going to hide against the window so nobody can see me. You know, like against the... So you move off to the side.

Yeah, like that. Okay. I'm inside. All right. All right, that brings us to the next in the initiative order. Vax. All right, I want to preface this. with last week I misspoke, I thought I had one luck left as I used it, but I got it backwards.

So I have one luck left this week in case I want to use it. Okay. Go back and look at the video tape. You can. Well, no, I said the wrong thing. But anyway, I want to use my first action to shove that archer backward off the roof. To shove them? Yeah, shove them off.

All right, let's go ahead and do a shove action. Find myself how this one works. All right, so for sure, I need you to go ahead and... and make an athletics check. Athletics check? Yes. I'm going to trigger the lock right now. All right.

Helped it, yeah. That gets it to 20. To 20? To 20? Sounds. That's going to be a 12. Yay! So you shove it five feet.

Very polite clap. This way? Yeah, off. All right. It's going to go ahead. No, towards you, Matt, is my attention, yeah. All right, this one. You shove.

They do make an acobatics check, but they do land off the side here. So they take eight points of damage being pushed off the side. All righty. This board is incredible. So that person is now falling out of sight, just a-off the side. Now question, am I able to use my bonus action to hide behind that chimney from Kevdak's view and the archers are, am I able to do that? Just for the Kevdak? Yeah, the chimney would offer you enough and you have a tree between the two of you anyway. Okay, so I hide behind the chimney.

Make a dexterity. Make a stealth check. That's 25. Okay. And I would like to use my last action to throw at KebDak, so I should still have advantage because he's held, and I should have, if I'm hiding, it's a sneak attack, isn't it? Well, sneak attack if it's an attack of the advantage anyway. Oh, my friend's still next to him.

Yeah. Then, excuse me, I would like to throw two daggers. Well, the shove was your action. Right, and I did the boot, so I have action action action. bonus action? Okay, hold on. Let me see if it's, you don't have two actions, you have two attacks. Let me double check and see if it is, there is the distinction there.

Okay. Lots of rules today. Lots of rules, not. Every millimeter counts tonight. Yeah, this attack replaces one of them. If you have multiple attacks with the attack action, which you don't. So you have your offhand bonus and the haste ones. So you do have two attacks right now.

Okay. Correct. So first one is an 18 to hit Kevdak. to hit Kevdak. Okay. Second one is 25 to hit Kevdak. Both hit. Okay, so the first one is two, two plus... That rogue damage. That wrong damage. I'm missing. I think that I'll die. That road damage. Two is eight, twelve, thirteen, nineteen, twenty two, twenty-eight, thirty. For the third, thirty, thirty-six.

36, have that to... It's not a crit, though. Oh, no. That brings it to 36. 18. Wait, is it a crit? No, but it's half damage for him. Right, I'd have to be right up against him that crit.

So 36, and then the second dagger does eight half to pull. The crits with four damage, gotcha. Total 22 points of damage on him. He's taking all these hits. All right? And I have a little bit of movement, right? You do have a little bit of movement, because you... I'll just go right up against the flat side, right below Kila, 3.

pressed against the wall there. Looking up her wind skirts? No. I've got kind of a Maryland-Rove thing going on in my era. There you go. So we're now hitting up against that roof right below there and your self-check was 25 earlier, so we'll get with that way. All right, maybe a quick look.

Maybe a quick look. Okay, I move this forward a little bit for the people that are watching. So they can get a better view here. There we go. All right. So you're over here. Oh, yeah. Yes.

All right. So that brings us to... Shit! Never mind. Six more attacks. No, no, no, no. You're done. He turns over.

Never mind, I didn't say it. I didn't say it, so it doesn't matter. All right, so this archer here is going to turn looking over at the... Let's see. He's currently handled. He's okay right there. This archer saw you firing. Oh yeah.

I'm looking at him right now, actually. I've got my gun in my left hand. Or just going to take two shots pulling in its long-moat two arrows at you, Percy? I smile the whole time. Staring at him with that dead in the eyes, Percy, look. Do not fuck with Reed Richards. He will fuck you up. That is a 20 to hit on the first one? That hits. And a 25 on the second.

That hustle hits. All right. Everybody's rolling high today. First one is... One next to me hitting you? No, the one. Do they all have like a good-jillion-exam? 11 for the first one?

Yep. I take it in the shoulder. All right. Second one is going to go ahead and do 13 points of piercing damage. That one I'm going to catch. Okay. Go ahead and roll for it. Gloves of missile snare. That's 8, 9, 19, that's 14.

So it does, not only does it do no damage, I actually take it and catch. You have you catch the arrow in front of your face. Snap it. Yes. That's amazing. And the gun is going to turn to look at him. Okay. Thank you.

You can see from the distance. The visage of this half-orch looks back as you do that and goes, and goes, and it's like a shakily hand reaching back for another arrow. Archer uses his bonus action to piss his later. This archer is going to go ahead and and leap down onto here. Do I get an attack of opportunity on it?

Yeah. He knocks down a tree in the process. It's terrible. What dick? That's a natural 18. I'm pretty sure that hits. Also rolled 19, National 19 on the acrobatics check, so land's fine, but you do manage to do one attack

worth of damage to him as it jumps down. Airsoft shot to the nuts. I rolled double ones. Oh, pathetic. Plus five, so seven. That's not bad. That's still something. That's not bad.

That's good. I'm gonna remember you by. Maybe he only has like 10-day. Cool, so your elemental form swings wide and manages to slam the bottom of them as they leap down, sending them into a kind of a spin, but they do manage to catch themselves because they're quite acrobatic. Doing so, they step up to the very edge here to their friend who is currently on the ground, who is also going to get up there, and they're both going to each other, pull their arrows out, and they're going ahead and make a series of strikes.

Let's see. This one here is going to go ahead. is going to go ahead, it's going to shoot a pike, because pike's on the ground, and this one's going to go ahead and strike Grog. Because I can't see Percy over there through the tree. So at Grog, um, uh. Metro one, natural one.

That's a 19? Misses. Misses you? One arrow just hits the bed of your shoulder armor right here and just shatters off the bone. The second one, however, is a 26. Yes. All right.

So from that one you take, now I've got cocked, say nine points of piercing damage? Reduced to four. Four. The one that's taking two strikes at you, Pike, is you're on the ground now. It's also probably very hard for him to shoot through the people that are attacking me. Because she's so little. There is one individual attacking you that is on the other side of your body, so you're pretty visible from that point in time. No one quarter cover?

One quarter cover? One quarter. One-quarter cover. He's really little. Her ankles are going to be able to that can count. However, the attack, because you are prone, it is disadvantage on the attack rolls with you, because it's not within five feet of you. But it's going to go ahead and attempt to make it.

Two 17s in a row, plus 10. It's 20, sorry, plus 10, plus 8 on them for the archers. Yeah, plus 8. So that's 25. Yeah. And natural one on the other disadvantage. You just rolling really well. So you'd be plus 10, plus 10.

You take 13 points of piercing damage from one of the arrows. Right. It's going to do there. They finish their turns. Call emergency if things get darker. This one is going to, having pushed, shoved off, come around here. Who's that? Oh, that's the one you pushed off? He shoved on the side.

Shit. It's going to come over this way and just hide off to the side. It's just hiding. Trying to watch what's happening. That finishes the archer's turn. Kevdak. Not able to do anything. It's in time to make saving throw.

And that is gonna be a total of 18. What's your DC? 20. Oh! Yes! I will make out with that fucking shirt, I swear to God. Oh. I mean, my spell DC is 18, but with the hand cone is 20.

Yeah. Don't talk him out of it. Just making sure. Oh, man. Oh, all right. Well, that ends Ken Keptak's turn. Scallon, you're up. Okay. Skellud!

While maintaining concentration, I can still use the wand to do things, yeah. So I'll use three charges of the wand of fireballs. What are you doing now? I'm aiming a fireball right around there. I'm going to see. So you're moving up to here. Oh, yes, I guess I have to move forward to attack. All right.

Can I get a radius that includes Kevdak and these guys over here? Yeah, you can do that. But not Pike. All of them. And hopefully not Grog, if my aim is true. Yeah, if you get it right there, you can manage to hit all them but Grog right there.

Go scared of it. And it's finally get it. Okay, three charges is 10 D6. All right, so go ahead and roll that. Kevdak automatically fails because he's paralyzed. MVP. No. So does Greenbeard?

Fah! Thirty-four. All right. All right, so 34 reduced to half because he's raging. Yep. That means it to six, no, 17. All right, and then Greenbeard takes 34. The other one's there.

They do not get advantages because they're all just spiders. That's failure. Failure. What's the spell DC on the wand? Is this different from yours? DC's 15. I wrote it down. DC's 15. Okay, so that's a success.

Success. So two of them over there. Take. Fine, things are working. Alrighty, got it. Great, so, giant burst of flame hits. It actually sets fire to this entire structure,

and now there's, the wooden barricade itself is in flames. We'll say for the purposes of considering that. There's flaming spikes on the field. What? Flaming spikes. All right, so, there we go. I was really hoping you're going to come out with like a fire right there. Oh, wow, that's actually, yeah, no, never mind.

I'm not disappointed at all. So those are on fire. I thought you were going to come out with like a fire. That, that works, yeah. That's, yeah, that. I thought you're going for a ring. All right, so. I'm going to try to do the pike move and jump down one.

Down there? One level. All right, make an acrobatics check. Oh, Jesus. Okay, okay. Fourteen. Nineteen. 19. You leap down and make it right there.

Okay. And I will, with the bonus, I'll heal grog with a healing word. Healing word, okay. I mean. Hi. I mean, no, no, no. No, no. What's the range on it? 60 feet.

60 feet for healing word, I believe. Right? He's just out of your range. Okay. Well, then I will heal Pike. Is that okay? You can do that. You can shout over the side. You have to get into view of her. which means you have to move a little bit closer to the edge. Okay, I'll do that. And I'll look. So you get about there, glance off the side.

All right, go for it. I'll just peek over the side and say, Never gonna fuck you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and not heal you. All right, so go ahead and roll your heel for Pike. Okay, oh yeah, seven points. Seven points. Yeah, take it all helps.

All right, and with that, Grog, you're up. Oh my god. Come on, Grog. Natural crit. I don't know. So in my frenzied, reckless attacking, great weapon master, can I bring my axe up high and swing it for the first attack to his left side where dangly hand is?

You can, go for it. So your regular straight attack. Well, you have advantage, and then it's disadvantage for that, so it brings it to a regular attack. Minus five. It's an advantage for the... Because of the cult shot. Oh, okay.

But then advantage because it's reckless? Uh, 23. Don't matter. 23 hits. With the minus five? No. 18. Still hits. Ha-ha-l-l-l-l-l-housel.

It's a man. Oh, God. So it's D12. 11 plus 3, plus 7. 20 for the first one, 30 with great weapon master. But you double your dice because it's a natural crit because he's five feet away. Because he's paralyzed and five feet away. That's a .

This is with your axe, right? So with the axe, it's just a D12 plus your rage bonus, plus your strength. Which is seven or eight. The rage bonus is eight. Well the rage bonus should be plus, the total it becomes plus. I'm sorry, the total, yeah, the total bonus is eight. It's three plus four, isn't it right now? Is it? Is it?

That's why that says seven. That says eight. Yeah. You're not using Warhammer. You're not attuned to this weapon. That's right. Okay. So what did you roll in the dice?

11. Technically it's a critical hit. So 22? So, I mean, it's a critical hit. So you do your brutal critical. You roll two more D12s. So it was an 11 times two. It was 22 plus seven, that's 29 plus 2D12.

Foo. Five. So that's 34. 34. And a nine, so that's... That's 43. 43, reduced in half, has 21 points of slashing damage to him. That's the first one called shot.

With that, the blade finds its way into his side. As you hear cracking on the rock below him, the sound of the left gauntlet hitting the bottom of the square. The fingers kind of twitch in the gauntlet as he's currently standing there with his left arm bisected from the rest of his body. Does he shriek? Damn it. You just got two. Yeah.

The second attack straight across is back. Okay, straight into his back? Yeah. Okay. Does another smaller doll hand come out to replace it? Tiny tiny. That is a 22. 22 hits?

Yeah, 22. Okay. And that's a four, so doubled is... You rolled a... Oh. The 12, right. So four times two is a... times two is eight, plus four is 11.

And two more of them, because it's incredible. Yeah, plus four is 12. Oh, yep. Okay. Seven. 19. And a nine. 28.

28. How that's 14? Math. All right. Math is fun. You're just hacking into him. You can see the wounds are just opened and his body is shaking from the amount of pain that's racking him at this time.

He's still holding up against a lot of damage that's come to him, but he's starting to look a little rough. So I have my third frenzied attack or a bonus action, right? With my bonus action, I have one superior healing potion. Can I take that? Can you? That will heal you at a superior. Let's see. Superior is a fair of fight. Superior is... It's like a one-on-one Goliath. 8d4 plus 8. 8.

He has a weapon. He's your superior. That's the expensive one you guys got. 8D4. Those are six. The four side of the pyramid. Four side of that. Fuck me asshole.

Seven. Nine. Twelve. Jesus, 14. It's so much caffeine and sugar after this. I'm already there. 19. 20.

20. All right, so you heal 20. All right. That ends your turn, Grog. That ends it. All right, unless you want to move. Can I, can I, can I, can I, can't pick it up.

I can only move. It's got a hand in it. It's complicated. Can you pick it up? I mean, you won't be able to wield your axe. Couldn't you put it in the bag holding? Next turn, if you wanted to try it. No, no, I'm gonna, can I move, if I stay within his flank, if I move away from the three guys that are surrounding me.

You're all going to get an attack on you. I'll stay right. There's a hand in it. Nobody can use it. All right. All right, so that finished your turn, Grog? Yes, thank you. Next up is Greenbeard, who's currently frozen in place.

However, it rolls an 18 plus five. As far as I serve his wisdom is plus 10, so that puts him in 28. So he resists the whole person and is currently no longer affected by that. It's okay. All right, that finishes his turn, though, because that's the end of his turn. Percy. Okay. All right, this is going to be kind of fun.

That asshole who just shot me, I'm now aiming at him. Okay. And I'm going to just push him off the roof. This'll be fun. So pushing him off the roof. Am I going to do extra damage to him or I going to do extra damage to him or I'm going to do? Yeah. If he hits.

Hmm? If it hits the ground. Well, I mean, like, I'm debating whether or not to sharpshooter it too. No, I think I'll just push him off the roof. It's funny. You can't feel my heartbeat in my face. I know. I can't tell him it's actually really warm in here if we're all just, like, really hot.

Probably a little bit of calling me. Yeah. 28 to hit. 28 hits. That's... Non-sharp shooter? Non-sharp shooter. Okay.

Dull shooter. But I'm doing a torso shot. So we get to... He gets no save. There's no save for the torso shot. Right. It's just going to take his damage and move 10 feet away from me. Okay.

So, uh... Fourteen points of damage, a piercing damage. 14 points of piercing damage, and he gets shoved off the back of the roof. He's going to make an acrobatics check, which he succeeds. So his hands down there, he only takes one point of damage from the fall, but there you go. That's fine. I'm going to reload, and now what am I going to do? Jump down the chimney, deliver presents. Surveying the field, just trying to make some decisions.

Help pike. I can't, well. Can I hit Greenbeard? I can hit Greenbeard. Yeah, he's got the magic. He's got the magic. He's got the mold on his head up. He's got mold on his whole, like, neck and chest area.

All right, well, we'll see how things go. Let's just do a sharpshooter shot at him right now. Okay. And see what a little bit of damage does to him. So, sharpshooter with retort, don't miss. And my pistol goes, whang! Oh! All right.

And I'm putting it away, so. Okay. All right, so that's gonna end your turn. Kieleth, you're up. All right, tornadoes coming down the house. And they're gonna hit these two guys with a whirlwind again. Right here? All righty.

Thirteen strength save. 13 strength saves on both of them. Archers. All right. It's a natural 19 plus two, and two natural 19s in a row. Yeah, they both make the saves. Oh, God. So nine plus two, oh, one more, D8. It's another five, so that was 12 plus five. 17. It's another two, so 19 halved. 19 halp. All right, so they'll put some at nine points of splication.

damage each. Bummer. Not really having much an effect at this point in the fight. However, as you swirl around, picking up the debris from the roof you can, it slams into them and they kind of brace against it, but they still kind of glancing over their shoulder, realize that I've got to continue what we're doing now. The bigger threat appears to be out in front of them. I'm staying in their space, by the way.

Right, right. So you're like up in there. Up in their... Up in their business? Oh, what fell anyway? It happened. That counts. That was good. That was good. All righty.

Finish your turn? All right, Pike, you're up. All right, I'm gonna put on my sprinter's boots. Spint's boots? We're on you, right? What's that? Yeah, we're on. Half your movement to stand up.

Yeah. All right. Okay, and I'm gonna run around towards the back of the house. This way? Which way? Door. What are you doing? Ashley, what are you doing?

What are you doing, Ashley? What are you doing? So your sprinter's boots, you activate. Which gives you double movement. Right? Okay, you have 50 feet. But you moved up, it took a 25 to stand up because it's half your speed to get up from prone, so you still have 25 feet you can move.

Okay, so I'm just going to go around to the side. This side? Yeah. All right, so you move here? Yeah, as far as it all. Okay, so you rush over there. That one guy takes a swing at you as you rush by, or girl I should say, the female half of swings with the giant blade.

That's going to be a... 23? Fuck, yeah. Okay. As the blade smacks you from behind as you rush past, you suffer 14 points of slashing damage. The war is over and both sides lost. Kingdoms were reduced to cinders,

an army scattered like bones in the dust.

Isn't this exciting? Yes, it is. Good times, guys. We're fighting a horde of Goliaths. All right. What's your shirt? What's that, Ashley? What's that? What you got? What you got?

Oh, I can't do. You're doing? Do I have a bonus action? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have bonus action still, come on. Okay. You guys, your spiritual weapon. Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna use my spiritual weapon on him again.

Okay, so go ahead and swing for the attack on that one. Okay, and I'm gonna use. Best spiritual sound effect. Guided strike. Okay, and I'm gonna use. Best spiritual sound effect. Guided strike? Well, I mean, yeah, you have advantage.

You have advantage. You have advantage on the attack, by the way, because he's paralyzed. Oh, you're all the second time. Oh, you're all the second time. It's a little paralyzed. It's frozen. And that's all you get. Oh, that's good.

It's still under. Okay. Does you add your spell attack. Oh, yeah. DC, DC. Oh, fuck, I'm forgetting everything. I'm so nervous. It's okay.

It's okay. You've been away for a while. Yeah, we're good to go. 22. 22 that hits. Okay. So go ahead and roll your 3D8. I think it is.

4D8. Plus your Wissomodifier, which is. plus. Here. Which your wisdom modifier? She's doing math. It's just for a second. I'll wait.

Dice are doubled, too? It is... The weapons within five feet? Yeah. Thank you. Two plus. You add the spell attack one of the two? Suck it, Aaron.

Not some, no, your wisdom modifier. But what's the dice? Do the dice are doubled? 18. Time to two. 36, half that to 18. Then add to 18. Then add your wisdom modifier.

wisdom modifier. Plus four. Plus four. All right. So, half that be two. So 20, 20 points of damage to him from the strike of that. All righty, that finishes your turn. Does your piece of paper back there look like Stephen Hawking's chalkboard? Kind of right now, yeah. Wow. That whole row is the damage you don't. I thought it was really good. Young Stephen Hook. It's probably really clean. Young Stephen Okay. All right. So, first. First, The woman who just swing past you,

go ahead and, let's see. You rush around the corner. It's going to go ahead and rush around the corner as well. Follow you, since you got out of the way. Lush into and go after you. Pike, the three that are on you, Grog, are still, after watching you cut one of Kevin Dax's arms off. Just roar angrily around you, all three of them,

and just go into another round of angry, angry strikes against you. Oh, God. All right. to you, Grog, since you did rifles attack on him for the stuff, they all have advantage on you anyway. So all the attacks are with advantage. Six attacks. Six attacks. It's a natural 20. Oh! Yeah!

26 on the second. Geez. 23 on the third. That's... 24 on the fourth. Can you roll poorly? 26 in the fifth. Welcome to our production of Julius Caesar. Five hits and one crit. What?

They all hit, yeah. Two, Brutee. Reckless attack puts you in a bad position when you're surrounded with guys that can do multiple hits that are also barbarians. I don't like it. Here comes. So, uh... Got that barbarians resistance. We'll do the crit first on you.

Okay. No, you already used to stone resistance. Oh, the barbarians, yeah. The devs. That'll help. I won't say the word yet. Well. All right, so.

Anything where you die? Oh. Seven plus eight, 15 reduced to have it. Seven. I'll just give you the direct amounts here. All right. So this is with the reduction. So seven points of slashing damage.

Right? Okay. Okay. Another seven. Okay. Okay. Nice. Another seven.

Okay. There we go. That's a nine. Okay. Jesus. Not that great. It's six. Okay.

And then now the crit. I think you said things of the crew. Of course, that's the double sixes. I thought the first one was crit. You said I'll do the crit first. You did. And then I thought differently, but I didn't say it out loud, but because you're calling me on it, I'll let it happen.

Oh, no, no, no. I'll take the one you did just now. Okay. That's double sixes. So that's 22 plus eight. There's 30, so 15 points of slashing damage. On all those strikes against you. Pike, two attacks on you.

Are you still alive there? Wait, why? Oh, because she's two. That's a natural 20. Oh! This is 15. Nope. Nope.

So that is only a one in a two. So that's three, six plus eight. You take 14 points of slashing damage from this, this barbarian female that's just all upon your grill. I hate this bitch. And in that turn, it's now the Druids turn over here. The Druids on a surprise round. The druid's going to rush forward here.

No, she's going to do a level. No. Fifth level cure wounds on Kevdak. No. I mean, he doesn't have an arm. He doesn't have the arm. He can't get that back. Can't get the bonus of the stuff, I hope.

I know. How does that work if you want to have that? I don't know. I imagine you have to have a little. Right, so we're looking at 5D8. You know what? You know what? Fuck it.

I'll counter spell that. Is it roll? It's too high. No, no, no. Okay, so it's at a fifth level. Go ahead and roll for it, adding, so it's D20 plus five plus two because of your, your bar-nec knowledge. It's not concentration, right?

No. Okay. So what do I do? Just a D-20? Let's be fucking awful. 17. 17. 17.

Let me check you all fast. Let's dispel his level. Yeah, it's dispelled. It's dispelled? Yes. Oh! You succeeded? It was 15. Ah!

MVP was fine. Oh my God, Sam. Oh, my God. Serious NBC. So angry about that. Yeah. Okay. All right, that ends his turn now.

So this guy here. Here. Let's see. I'll stand up for this one, pardon me. Oh, shoot. Just take a break or something. Oh, dear. Oh, God, if they hit her and she's over.

The benches were sitting on, or is covered in so much ass sweat right now? For the sake of this, just for keeping up there. Yeah. Who that? Who's up there? What's going on up there? This is bad. Hey, wait.

Where is where I am? I don't want him to come up there. Too bad. Just you have an attack of opportunity? These two guys rush forward and grab these. Oh, fuck. Oh my god. This is where it all turns.

We're going to end the problem. Because I fucking fell off the fucking room. Yeah, it's your fault. Back into the middle here towards the fire. Head of the snake. Into the fire? What? Pushing them towards the fire with what remains of their movement.

Let's see. These guys are going to move in. This archer is going to go back up. Up. Pardon me. Was that allowed? No. It's okay, we're not.

Archers aren't part of this movement. No! This guy here is going to move in the grog there. Good, then he has seven people attacking. I don't know if to tell you, man. These guys here, seeing this one here, this one here, This guy can't really get over there, so he's gonna go ahead and rush forward.

How many people are there? I feel like there's so many more people than there were. How do you own this many models? Why are you doing this to Pike? Stop hurting her. Only you can protect her. We should have killed the guys first. There's no should have. This is what we got. This is what we got. It's what we got. It's okay guys, we can do this, we can do this.

We can do this. It was going pretty well. It was going to get into melee with you. How did it all turn? scale that fast. How do they scale the... Because he can roll acrimatic just like we can. Yeah, you guys can do it. They can do it too. Yeah. And they're pretty strong. So he basically just runs up, puts the sword in his back, jumps up onto the roof, pulls the weapon. He doesn't manage to get an attack on you because it took all of his movement to get up there.

He gets up there. No one wants to work with the elemental? Want to get Scanlan could. Right now, you're not a huge threat to them at the moment. And they're both going to focus actually on you, Scanlan. Sure. When he gets around to their turn, though. This guy's going to go ahead and pull Both of these innocent folk in front of them as a shield. This guy's gonna get freaked out and just rush around the building and try to escape there. Okay, so bringing us into the combat portion of the round,

Grog, you have two more attacking you. This is the Blade Storms. With advantage, that's only going to be a 14. That'll miss. I haven't said that much tonight. No, 18. That misses. So first one, to both attacks just swinging across you.

You're feeling it on your back, but it's catching most of your armor and part of your flesh that is nice and callous and just not really doing any damage. The second one rolls a 20. Second attack on the second one is a 21. That hits, yeah. Yeah, okay. So you get a critical and a hit on this one. So this is a Blatstorm.

Critical. It's going to be six, 12. 16. Eight points of slashing damage from that one. Okay. And the next one's going to be four points of slashing damage. This is already halved, just so you know. Okay. So that's that round there. Against Pike, only one of them could get to you and still attack this round. So Pike, that's 19. Misses. And that's going to be a 15. So one strikes against you, hits the back of the armor, and just straggs off. You spin around and

the second when blade comes around and you just deflect it with the shield angrily. Yes, this is so fucking stressful! That brings us back to the top of the initiative order. Vex you're up. Okay. They just approached me. You're pretty. You're low. You're low.

Oh, there was the one guy that got up there with movement. So before that happened, actually, the reminder, this one did have enough movement to get up there and still get attacks off on. Okay, he's attacking Percy. No, he's attacking me. Oh. That's going to be a 13 with the first strike. That misses.

The second one's going to be a 22. That just hits. Wow, really. Right, that's going to be 17 points of slashing damage. Okay. And that great sword, whoosh. I need you to go ahead and make a concentration check. Oh, yes.

Oh, no. Wait, what? Come on, Scanlan. You have warcasters, so you have advantage. Come on, Scanlan. 15 plus anything? It's a constitution. Constitution.

whatever concentration bonus you have. Oh, plus two, 17. So 17. That's pretty good. You have to be like over and 12. Just double check here all fast. There's 10 or half the damage you take. So you maintain concentration.

Oh, my God. We might as well just be doing this on a treadmill because I think I'm pretty close to like 130. All right, Max, you're up. Okay. I'm going to fly out of the window on the broom. Okay. The roof blows off.

Out of the window. Fly! Fly! Where do you want to go? I'm gonna fly down and I'm gonna shout. Grog! Raise your arm! And I'm gonna go down and I'm gonna hit his hand with the Pokeetball. We're doing this?

We're gonna scoot by here? Yeah. Okay. I'm above, I want to be high up in the air, but just low enough that I can reach down and touch the blocket to to Grog's hand. It's a good thing Kevdak is paralyzed, otherwise to be able to take your attack on you. This will put you in range for their strikes, so you're going to have to stay in place or move past and suffer five attacks of opportunity. Oh!

Wait, all of them can attack, but I'm in the air? For you to get low enough to hand them that, they all have big double great swords, and half of them are half giants. So you can do this. As you switch up, as you've already said you're going to do, you fly up and you reach down. With the locket and I hit... With the locket and I hit... With the locket, you hand over to him. I don't hand it to him.

You just hold it there? She's trying to get him in it. I'm putting Grog in the fucking locket. Oh. She's trying to medevac me. Yeah. I misunderstood what you were trying to do. All right, so...

I just want to fly by and... What's it say again? It's a wisdom save, but if it's a willing person, they can go in. Yeah. So, Grog, you willing? Oh! Yes. And with that, as you reach down and touch Grog with it,

that you see Grog's form shimmer for a second into dark shadow and then vanish inside. And I just want to fly on past and go up to the next roof. Okay. So Grog is currently off the table as he's locked inside the gauntlet. Where should I go? Where are you going? Because as you rush away, you do get... I'm going to fly back into the... I'm going to fly around the back of the big building. Back here you mean? Yeah. Okay. We'll say for the purposes of this, you are Back here. Okay.

All right. However, as you fly off from doing this, all of them swing wide at you. It's five attacks on opportunity against you. That's 20. That is 17. It's it? What did you give me? Yeah, she had it out.

Oh, that's right. She gave me a blessing. Well, it's eight. You have 15 extra hit points. That's what it is. Oh, okay. I thought it was the armor class goes up one. I got 15 extra hit points.

Yeah, eight gives you guys more extra points. So, anyway, 17? Doesn't hit. Doesn't hit. All right, so three more attacks. That was a cocked. 19? It's my hour class.

All right, 26. Fuck, all shit, other bitch. And 19 again. So four attacks hit you. Okay. First one is for 14 points of slashing damage. Okay. Next one.

Next one, that's eight, 12 points of slashing damage. Okay. Double? Double? How? Stop it. Don't be helpful. No.

Not for another 13 points of slashing damage. And the last one. It's going to be 15 points of slashing damage. Great, cool, great. Still alive? I just am fine and I'm just going to keep going. You streak off as all these blades just hammer into your side, cutting the bottom of your feet. One of them hits you in the back of

the neck and curves across your lower back. And as you pull away, clutching it, you look at your hand with the blood pooling in the middle of your paw. You look at the gem with just a faint glimmer of what looks like a form of a human inside the gem that's currently mingling with all the blood that's just smeared across your body. All of a sudden, you coast around through the air, the wind whirling past you, and you spin around towards the top of the Margraves estate, and you can just hear the blood in your body in your ears. as you start getting a little dizzy and realizing just how rough you are at the moment from that exchange. Wow.

You'd probably be higher than this. Goodbye. I already have my move. Up there if you wanted to fly around. So, that ends your turn. That. Bax, you're up. I'm going to use my bonus action to dash and haste that I get 24 squares of movement on this board.

Yes. I'm going to drop off the roof staying along the wall. I should be able to take a diagonal at that corner and turn. and totally avoid green beard. I mean, draw, I want to go, no, I want to go straight this way. Towards the tree and drop. Okay, towards the tree, drop off here. Yeah.

I want to go along the wall. I can swoop around it and avoid green beard. I'm gonna run past this barbarian. She'll probably take an attack, but I'm wearing that cloak so she's at disadvantage. I'm gonna run up to Kevdak and I'm gonna stab him twice. He should get, I should get sneak attack damage into crick because he's frozen. You do. Then I'm gonna run the fuck out.

That's what I'd like to do. Okay. You rush up. You've managed to avoid Greenbeard. There is one of these guys that was kind of just holding his place, kind of seeing what things were going on. He had no target at the moment, which is kind of staying nearby. Disadvance. With disadvantage.

That is 21. Misses. Two. Dagger's out. Hasted. Yeah. Raven Queen Armagh. Fuck y'all.

As you dart past, this blur of dark motion swings towards you and where it's, you're going to towards you and where it catches, it's about to catch some of the armor, there's a burst of black feathers that just kind of lift behind with the blade struck through as you dart up right into the face of Kebdak, who's like,

trying to desperately resist the effect of this. Chunk. Go for it. Advantage on the tracks. Right, right, right, right, right. Oh my God. Ermigurd. Murg.

Two for the first, which hits. They both hit. And 26 for the second. Both hit. Both quick. First one. Three plus, oh my god, three plus eight, ten, sixteen, twenty two, twenty three, twenty-three, twenty nine, thirty-two, which is doubled to sixty-four plus six. Well, thirty-two plus six because he takes half damage.

Right, right, well let's get it up to the top and then have it. Yeah. So thirty-two to sixty-four plus six is seventy-two halved. Right, 72 halved puts you at thirty-three. That's the first, and then the second one does two plus six is eight. Two and two and ba-b-b-b-b-bba-b-b-bba-b-bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb. That's just the dice is double, so this is 10. All right. And I'd like to use the rest. Oh, well, go ahead. Yeah. So as you rush up, you slam your dagger square into the side of his body. As you push it inside, you can see

This is eye glancing back down towards you, held in place, his arm broken, still dangling from the little elements of ligaments that keep it kind of shifting there. With the impact of the slam, it swings just from the sheer force of the blow. As you push the blade to the hilt and even further in, you feel your hands actually push into the wound itself about an inch. Your fingers getting dark and wet with the crimson gore of the interior of his body. As you you push up inside, you pull back, pulling the blade into the turning around in your pommel and jam it over the top of the shoulder into the side of his body. The muscle flexes just from the tension of the whole person's spell,

managing to reduce a portion of the damage, but it left a pretty serious wound. Any movement I have left, I want to use to run up to the other side of the wall that Keeleth is on. If I have enough, I'll climb up. If not, I'll go behind the barrel. But before I go, quietly, I say to Kevdak, your fate is sealed here today, my friend. Okay. Okay. It is not going to tag opportunity on you because he's paralyzed and the guy already took one against you, so already used his reaction. You rush past him. You do not have enough movement to get to the top, but you get through the corner right where the barrel is.

Okay? That ends your turn. It's now the archer's turn. All righty. So much bloodshed. So. We do some recreational drugs or something. We're going to take the other off. We're all going to die. All we got to do is get kept back.

I have like a Scrooge-Mexam. Scrooge McStuck dial at my house, and then we can get a fuck out of it. I'm just going to die it. Once we kill him, his gauntlets are just to get him. Just a Zanx bag. Yeah, that's a point made. No, we can get him. No, who's fast and strong.

This guy here is going to go ahead and move out of range of eulmiraica. Setting this barrel off the side to try and get away from you. Which means you get an opportunity. It does fall and hit the barrel next to you. It does, I mean, next to Vax, it doesn't hit you. Yeah. But it kind of spooks you momentarily as it slams onto the barrel next to your side and rolls off. So what did you get, Keel? 10 total. 10 total? 10 total?

Misses. Oh, no. Oh, I had to roll a hit. I'm sorry. I was rolling just damage. What'd you roll? I didn't roll the hit. To hit that is plus as 16 to hit. 16 versus the archer. 17. You really blew it.

Oh, not it. To be fair, she's good. They were really cool. Oh, she's winded. That's nice. They're both having now made out the connection between the mooning and the Kevdok, holding himself in place, they're both trying to take you out.

One of them has disadvantage because you're in its spot, and it couldn't get away from you. You had nowhere to go, really. So one's taking two attacks at you, Scanlan. That is going to be a 12. And a 26. Hit. The other one's gonna have two attacks

with disadvantage against you. That's, even with disadvantage, that's a 21. And the other one with disadvantage is a 15. Hit. What? 15 hits you? I am not wearing some things. That's true.

So three attacks that hit you. The first one is going to be All right. That's a full. 10 plus 14 points of piercing damage. Okay. Go ahead and roll your concentration. Oh yeah, that.

So roll and add two? Roll and add two? Is it plus your constitution? Oh, 19. 19, okay. The next attack deals five points. Go ahead and roll again. The advantage.

19. Damn. All right, and the third one. What's your constitution saving throw is plus two? Right? Yep. Last one does 11 points of piercing damage to you. Okay. And make another series of checks for concentration?

17. Fine. We're okay. We're okay? That work has 50. I mean, relatively. Oh my God. All right, that finishes those two guys.

This one here is off to the side. This one is going to go ahead and turn around this way and just get around the edge. Actually, it's going to... I'm going to start crying. This one over here. Didn't notice. you swing by over the top because you just overhead. It does see Percy up on the roof that shot it.

You do have partial cover. So we'll say that's a half cover. So plus two to your AC. Against this guy's two arrow shots against you. All righty. That is 26 to hit. Oh, that hits. All right.

Second strike, same thing, 26. All right. 18 and 18. 18 and 18? Let's see, it goes on two. I can use, yeah, I only have one reaction. Yeah. All right.

So that's nine points piercing damage with the first shot. I'll take that. And 14 points pierced damage with the second shot. I'll fight that. It's been a long fight, guys. Maybe this is like 30 seconds later. Maybe we just just contesting it with. With the missile stack.

Walk away. How many times can you use that? It's a reaction. Yeah. It doesn't say it says reduce, I can make an attempt to catch. Yeah, so go ahead and make the attempt. It's a 14 points. 14 points, yeah.

Are we still trying to go through? That's a dexterity, Monarchs, 11. So I can reduce it. I can reduce the damage to three points of damage. I'm still a got hit, so. Yeah, so go ahead and mark that. Okay. And this guy over here, the very top, moves over as well, and is going to go ahead and take two more shots at Scanlan.

Since there's currently not a whole lot he can see in the area, that's a threat to him. And you're this gleaming beacon of pink and purple up on the rooftop that another friend of his is currently wailing on. So two attacks against you. That's going to be a 19. Hit. And 23. Hit. All right. You take another six points of piercing damage. Go ahead and make your Yeah.

20. Was it? 20. 20? Okay. Second one is 14 points of piercing damage. Oh, Jesus. They move back. No! Person fades, concentration loss from the barrage of arrows in the nearby herd archers. A roar comes across the battlefield. Currently, a one busted arm and no arm on the other side.

Kevdak is screaming in terrible pain and anger. But he's great at River Dance. All right, archers finish their turn. turn, it comes to Kevdak's turn. No, shit! He's going to go ahead and use his bonus action to go ahead and use second wind. He's a hit point.

He'll seven hit points in there, roll the ten. He is then going to, let's see. No one's around him. Yeah, he has no axe. He reaches over and picks up your hammer. With his broken hand? Actually, yeah, no, he can't do that right now. With his beak. He kicks the hammer.

He teabags it. He kills one of his subordinates for letting them. He turns to his subordinates to the side. It's pretty low already. One of you pick that up. The rest of you kill them. And looks over to the other two innocent that are on the ground right now. He then is going to go ahead and start moving over towards Greenbeard.

Because he moves. Does Pike get an attack of opportunity? Oh, the spiritual weapon. It's not a... Spiritual weapon is technically not a creature. It doesn't get a reaction. It's only on a bonus action you get a chance to attack with it, so no. He's going to move over here, around the flames, up to Greenbeard.

Okay. That finishes his turn. He's not much else he can do at this point. Scanlon, you're up. Pike, how you doing? I'm pretty rough. Oh. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

I have an idea to try to get out a bit if I need to. Kevdak or pie. They're all, they're all clustered right there. If you have some of the area. They are, I don't care about them. I just care about Kevda. They're gonna be a- And the fight, Scanlan.

Well, Greenbeard can probably heal Kevdak. All right. It's probably when he's going over there for. Yeah. I don't think I'll be able to do a fireball without hitting either Kiki or that innocent. I'm fine. She can suck it all.

I can suck. I haven't taken damage. She's up 60 bonus points. No, I'm up 90 bonus hit points, and I haven't taken away of damage. All right, I'll do the same thing then. Plus, I think I'm in. I don't know if I can even do it.

Do it. Burn it. What are you doing, Scanlan? Yep. Just the Wanda Fireballs again. How many more? How many? I have seven charges.

I've used three. I'll use three more. All right, three more. In the center here at Kevdakak. Yes, Kevdak is the center. It would hit that archer. Would it hit that innocent? It would hit those innocent there, both those innocent.

Angle it a little over towards Kiki so it doesn't hit the innocent? Yeah, with your angle, you could angle it this way. Oh, would it hit Vax that way? Yeah, would. Fuck! Sorry, do it. I'll kill the innocent. Do it.

No, no! I kill the innocent. Okay. I can't let him. I can dodge that. Don't hurt. I said it. already, it's too late.

So, Gannon fires the fireball at Kevdak, it detonates. I can avoid it. I know. Okay, yes. Do I just roll? I just roll it. Roll 10D8, yep. 10d6, yeah. 10d6. 6, yes. Kevdak. Yeah, he makes his save.

God, fucking fucker. No. Green Bates DC 15. Fucker. Greenbeard also makes his save. 42. 42. 42. Damn.

Nice. So Kevdakford, he gets 21. Do it. That puts it. That puts it, 10. So Kevada takes 10 points of fire damage. Oh, you're going next. 10?

10. Yeah. He made a save for half damage, and then he takes half damage from his rage. Greenbeard takes 21. It's looking rough. Green beard is now just burned and like kind of, is looking a bit frenzied at this point. The archer does make the same.

Does make the save. High Dex, they take 21 points on him. Pardon me. This archer there also makes it. However, that one has taken. No, that one has taken a lot of damage. That one has over there. It says 21. This one here does also make his save. These guys are unkillable. They all made the perfect saves. Surprise attack would have been really good on these guys. That guy there. Does make his safe, they're all rolling 15 and above on this. God.

This guy here, rolls the National 20 on his save. Tell the fuck all of them! Well, that was the innocent there. Oh, yeah, we like it. Good job. One point of damage for a peasant. He is incinerated and you hear the horrible scream of pain as... Hey, we killed something, guys. That was the first thing we killed.

The first thing you killed in this fight. The first thing you killed in this fight was an innocent villager. That is terrible. With that scream, that echoes in the back of your mind, knowing the decision you made, a little part of your heart sinks in your chest. However, Kieliff, I need you to go ahead and make it like a sturdy save as well. Yeah, you're on it. Natural 19.

All right, so you take 21 points of fire damage. Even though I can't see her. Actually, that guy technically would be... Yeah, that innocent there would also be in the range. He doesn't make a safe. He's also incinerated. Both in Burn. His other peasant. Whoops. Two peasants dead. Sorry.

All right. Oh, man. So. Even though I can't see her, I'm so connected to her. Can I try to heal Pike? Just a big shout. As a healing word spell, the creature you can see within range. So no. You have to be able to see her. You have to move. Okay.

What you could do if you want her to risk it. I don't know if I don't know if I'm going to see her. I don't know if I want to move. This guy's on me. Yeah, but you're also getting pummeled by arrows. That's true. Yeah. So maybe standing there is not necessarily that.

Like up and over. Probably better. Peek over the backside. He's gonna whack at me. He's gonna take a whack at you in a minute anyway. Can't you stay alongside him the whole time? Yeah. If you're within five feet of him, he doesn't attack you.

Okay, I'll circle. I can't really see it where I am, but yeah. Right there. You're just going around him. Five. Kid corner. So yeah, you get over this side. Every time.

All right, so you move around him, you're over the edge. You can look down and you see Pike now surrounded by the No. You can't use your bonus action healer if you'd like. You have some plan or something, right? I mean, who the fuck knows if that's gonna fucking wear off? My healing is barely anything. So I'll inspire you instead, I think.

I'll take it, I'll take it. So how do you inspire? I sing, well then I saw her maid. Then I saw her mace, do do, do, do, now I'm a believer, do, do, do, do, without a trace of blood in her hair. I'm in love. Ooh, I'm a believer. Take you D-10.

I'll take my D-10 and use it later. And Scanlan's turn. That's in your turn. Grog, you are sealed. You have no turn. Sorry, Grog. I was just trying to keep you from dying. brings us to Greenbeard, who's on a rough place right now.

Greenbeard is going to go ahead and finally do something. God damn it, he's gonna heal. Yeah, you can do. That's a new round. Come back, protect the hurt. And he reaches forward and touches him. Fuck that guy. Molest him.

Come on, no. And I'll counter spell that, too. As he's right there, that's heel. No, I knew it. I knew it is going to heal for all of his hit points. And counter spells. All of it. Okay, so that's a sixth level.

Go ahead and roll, add seven, and you have to be to six, you have to get 16 or higher. Can I cast it at a higher level? Heal is a seventh level. What level are you casting counterspell out? No, Heal does not do all of it, does it? Heal heals you 100% of it. Do I know what this is?

Seventy, 70. Oh, 70. The old version was like almost all your hip points. That's bad. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's really bad. It's a lot.

Yeah. All right, so you're casting it at fifth level, a counter spell. Mark that off. It's less than equal to the level of the spell slot you use. So it is fifth level, it doesn't do anything. Because what fifth level does is it increases the equal level of the spell to cancel. Fifth level, it's a sixth level spell. So now you just roll.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now roll. Add seven. You're trying to get 16 or higher. Oh! No! What is it? What is it?

It was a three. But I'm, I get advantage, because I'm wearing this. With that, Greenbeard reaches out and touches Kevdak. Kevdak roars in pain as all of a sudden the muscles and tenue and his arm reform, and he's still wounded but now functional army crushes the gauntlet in his hand. Bring me the other. And you see, what, the other one who... Shit!

He's about to handle that! The gauntlet. Move, but you're bringing him the gauntlet? That ends Greenbeard. Greenbeard is now going to go ahead and back behind here. Trying to get behind the tree as he now notices he's out in the open, done his business in that moment. We're going to die. No, and as a bonus action, he's going to go ahead and turn into an Earth elemental.

Who is? Greenbeard. Fucking druids. Fucking druids. Kill him. Kill him, kill it. Everything just flipped. Kill him, kill him.

Kill him. Now, Percy, you're up. Kill Kev back. Sharpshooter that fucking happened. I was going to say, I can't kill Kevdak. He just healed for- He was on like the cusp. No.

Oh, what? He's a cut. Death, we almost have him. He does. He heals 70 extra hit points? Yes, from heel. Oh, not 70% of his hit points? No, 70 hit points.

We can still take him. Oh, seven hit points. No, 70. 70 hit points. He healed him 70. He healed him 70. He healed him 70 hit points. Is he still raging, though?

He just healed him. He was almost dead. He can continue to rage if he's taking him. damage since the last round. He's taking a lot of damage. We can do it. We can still take him. I don't know if we can. We can still take him. We've got to get those fucking goutlets. All right.

Now don't let him get the gondlets person. Where's the gontlet? Can we see the gontlet on the battle? It's over here right now. It's just kind of on the ground where he was. Told somebody to pick it up, but they didn't do it yet. Okay. No, I can't do that, can I? I look at the guy next to me.

I'm going to take a look. Oh, God. I'm just going to look. I'm just going to take a running jump off the front of the house. Oh my god. Here is this way. Straight into the... In the killbox? You're going into the killbox?

You're not fast person. No, I'm going to jump for the other house. Over here? Yeah. All right, go ahead and make an acrobatics check. Oh, this is athletics. It's not an acrobatics. I can't park court this.

My hands are free. I'll say you can make an acrobatics of disadvantage or an athletics with a single role. Since this is actually like a strength of a run. It's not a big distance. So it's not a huge DC for a jump, but it's your call. I'll take an athletics. What do you think?

Athletics are. No, no, no. I'll acrobatics it with a disadvantage. All right, go for it. Six and one, half a dozen of another. Yeah, yeah, no. Would you roll? I roll the one.

No! So as you leap off the side, your foot hits the edge of the tile, and the blade behind you swings, which is going to hit you, I believe. which is going to hit you, I believe, with a 20. Is it your AC? My AC's 18, yeah.

You take 11 points of slashing damage. I'm fine with that. The blow, however, is just enough to throw you off kilter and you go plummeting down into the alleyway. Falling prone. You can use your movement to get back up. The remainder of you're moving, but yet you can't move from there. The fall does deal an additional five points of bludgeoning damage.

Don't care. All right. You get back up. You're now in this alleyway right here facing this long. facing this line here is all you can really see from your perspective. Who can I see from my perspective? You can see Vax, you can see Kevdak, and you can see this dude here, and kind of an archer but has partial cover because of the...

Okay, I'm going to, as a bonus action, I'm going to just do a quick heal. Okay. Second wind? Second wind. All righty. Just to make that go away. God, that's an amazing 18th fax, so that's a... Second win, man. One. And, ow! I'm going to pull out the big gun, and I'm going to take a nice, heavy, serious look at Kevdak.

What am I going to hit him with? I'm going to take a sharpshooter shot in his face. Okay. I'm going to go for a headshot with the big gun. A headshot? A headshot? With a big shot. Right, so you're using the trick shot.

Trick shot on Sharpshire. Okay. I'm doing a combo. Go for it. 23 you hit. That hits? I don't feel good. I have the worst headache right now.

I feel really bad right now. I don't feel happy. So that's first the damage. All right. Okay. Oh, man, come on, Percy. That's two. 26 points of piercing damage.

26 points of piercing damage, reduced to half. 13. Plus, he has to make a constitution saving throw against the DC of 19. It's Constitution, yeah, that's a 23. Wait, what? He just made his Constitution save. He's got a high Constitution saving throw.

It's kind of his thing. Reloading, taking another shot. Okay. Care, no care. Same thing, Sharp Shooter? Same thing, Sharpshooter. I'm going to... Any other trick shots are gonna use or Dead Shot?

Anything you want to use? This is heroic death music right now. I hate this music you're playing. I guess what you'd up if you want. No, no. No, it's fine. Benny Hill? Yeah, I'm gonna drop a grit for advantage because...

Okay. Dead Eye shot? Dead Eye with Sharpshooter. Go for it. I'm going to go up from there. And we do. All right. That's 19 to 26 to hit that hits.

With the minus five? Oh, yeah, no, that's with the nine. How about that? I rolled a 19. Great, yeah, so go ahead and roll damage on that? Assle, asshole, asshole. That's better. Assle, asshole, asshole.

Is that a seven? Oh, that is a seven. Oh, good. So that's 16, 18, 19, 19. 26 points of damage. 36 halved to 18. 18. All righty.

And that's my two shots, I'm not reloaded. That's your three attacks. That's my three attacks. Shot, reloaded shots. Shot reloaded shot. I'm now going to burn my action search. Okay. Angry first, he's angry.

Can I, well, I was gonna say, so it's a, well, can I burn that as a run or can I only burn that as an attack? It's part of the function that is like, like, you can use your action. action is a dash so you could. I'm going to use my action as a dash to, how fuck there's no way around is there. Fuck it, Ben.

I'm taking a shot. All right, so fourth attack is a reload. Fifth is an attack. Go for it. Is it dead eye as well or just regular? I feel like I should have won more Dio. This is sharpshooter as well. This is sharpshooter as well, no dead eye.

Okay, sharpshooter, go for the shot. I think I've got some in my purse. Yeah. 23 hit. I want to save some grip for some problems. That's not bad. Yeah, it is. Wait, did you roll that?

Oh, fuck, yeah, thank you. That's the wrong one. Oh, that's so much better. That's much better. You roll 20-siders instead of 12. I can't count my brain. 13, 9, 12, 13, 23. We're all breaking.

I know, we're breaking no pressure. Slow motion for 51 episode. 32 points of damage. points of damage, 32 points of damage. 16 points of piercing damage, all right. And a reload. All right, and a reload, yeah. That's your turn.

Silver Foxy. Percy is done, dealing what looks like a grand total of... Yeah, my knee's going like a job. Yeah. It's like, sorry. 47 points of damage in that round. That's out, Percy. To kept up.

That's a lot. Good. Come on. So we're almost back to where we were. Okay, angry at the fact that I'm not doing much, I'm going to slowly, for flavor, my air elemental is going to start burning a little fire. I'm going to drop my air elemental and I'm going to do firestorm. Okay. Ryan, I need the mini box. That was not brought.

Minibox. Oh, God. Mity box. Just borrow the Manny box. At some point, I'm just going to mention, we need to take a break. Is it like pee blood? Oh my God.

Go run. No. No. What if we all die and the dragons just take over everything? No. No. You know, it's this kind of intense fun that you can get in every loot coin. I hate you.

Every month, we'll be on pins and needles to see what's in this box. For the time being, I'll use this one here. All right, so, Kila, if you revert back. I'll use this barmaid for the time being. You're a barmaid. Oh, I've been demoted. God, you're at the mini.

Bears for everybody. Yeah. We were at the Renfair to be here. This is an alternate timeline version. All right, so, Kielith, what are you doing? You drop form. I dropped form, and I'm going to firestorm all up in this bitch. Oh.

Yes. All right. What are you firestorming? What are you doing? Seventh level. Seventh level. So it's 10 square feet. So let's do like...

Ten foot cubes. Ten, ten foot cubes. Jesus. That's amazing. Well, see those peasants would have died anyway. It's not me. It's her. I could have gone around him. You did it.

So, how do you want to arrange this then? All of them. Just get all of them. So let's start. Can I do 10, including this archer? 10. You could do there, which would kind of burst off the corner, that would hit Kevdak, the archer, and Greenbeard.

Set that tree on fire. Okay. Actually, as part of spell, I can choose to not set the tree on fire. Okay. So I choose to spare the tree. All plant life is spared. All plant life is spared.

Sorry. And they're not a vegan. So, there. Is that a guy? Who's that? They're all bad guys. That's a bad guy. Everything's bad guy, unless they've got a red ring around.

Kill him, baby. Come on, red. There's a guy up there. There's a guy. Come on, Kiki. Come on Kiki. Okay, okay, okay. Another one there.

Wherever there's bad. There. There. There, you'd be able to get to get a big. You'd be able to get one that wouldn't actually hit him yet. That's fine, and then that one. Then, bam. And then let's go.

Get those fucks. Can I go like a four, and then six, seven. That's better to all you do. And that got all of these guys? Yeah. And then can I go? What about Pike's Schmucks? Eight.

Nine, get this guy. Ten. It wouldn't be able to get that far over. I mean, you could. Shit. One, two, three, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Yeah. And get all of them?

You can probably get most of them. Most of them. Do it. Do it, do it, do it, do it. Okay. And you're like, you're doing like an S, which is cool. So go ahead and roll damage on that, Gila. Soreau.

Okay. Ten. Sorro. Sorry. What are you rolling? What is it? 10D10. Oh, no, sorry. 7D10. Wait, let me double check. Let me double check.

Let me double check. All tens. All 10s. I'd say you'd be able to get this guy. This guy you wouldn't be able to, but all the rest of these, you could. Okay. 7D10. 7D10.

Dexterity saving throws, correct against your spell DC. Uh-huh, which my spell DC is 19. Alright. No, no, no, no, no, no, 19. Some of those are good. Some of those are good. So that's 14, 16, 18, 18, 19. Another 9, around another 29.

29 total points of fire damage? 29 total points of fire damage. Okay. Okay. Well, Kevdak takes, he failed to save, but he takes half that. 14 points of fire damage. Go to see. Back to where he was before the heel.

Yep. What's good? We've undone the heel. Greenbeard takes the full. 29. Come on, he's got to be feeling. But now he's a tank. Greenbeard's an earth on missile damage now.

That archer, the archer just burns up. Archer screams in pain as it incinerates from the firestorm. Wait, somebody died? An archer died. Oh, thank God. You finally killed him that guy. Take 29 damage. That guy there. Two hours and 20 minutes. Fails take 29 damage. That druid fails.

They're on fire now too. Die, bitch. Die. They're all burning to death slowly. Yeah. 29 damage there. To that druid and the rest of them. Fail. Success. Failed one. Fail with another one. Fuck yes. Okay, so join-touch. All righty. While the entire square sets on fire, Vax quietly and quickly falls a little deeper. What do you do?

A little deep time. Oh. Oh. All right, cool. All righty. Light Vaxes is fire in the meantime. So that finishes your turn with the firestorm? No, it does not.

I'm going to use a bonus action to do grasping vine. Yes! High level, you can't do. Gressing vines a fourth level. Fuck! You only go up to a second level. Can you hurt him some more? Bonus action to heal?

Can you see me? Can I see Vex flying off into the distance? Currently roll

perception check. No. Not great. 14. Nope. You do not see. See Vex, you have no idea where she is right now. You just saw her. I see. I can't hurt him anymore. I see Scanlan. That's all I can really see. Scanlan, you can kind of see over there,

but even then he's too far away for a healing word, I think. That's it, that's my turn. All right. You can't back then. Tate-Hik, you're up. Hey, bro. All right. So I'm going to look at the three around me.

One of them fell off the roof. So there's only three there, right? Correct. There are five there, totally. Well, one of them fell off the roof. You accidentally knocked one off the roof, Matt like five minutes ago. That's my guy.

It's good to know. So there's how many there? There's four of them there. I'm sure the chat. He's really drunk. No, it's fine. I'm going to tell them. I'm a barbarian.

Oh, shitty. There you go. I'm going to look at them and I am going to command all four of them. Yes. To attack each other at fourth level. Yes. each other at fourth level.

And they're all by their allies, so they can get advantage on each other. All right. All right. Well, technically it doesn't work now. It would be allies anymore. I'll be your best friend. All right. All right, so.

What's the DC on that? That's me. Spell DC. Six. That's a failure. That's a failure. Yes. That's a 20, so that succeeds, that's a failure.

So one of them succeeded, three of them didn't. Oh, wow. What a call. You told a Lord A-Call. Hopefully, hopefully. So is it a new turn? No. You have a bonus action. So what are you going to do?

He'll heal thyself. I... I... I... I... I should probably... I wonder if I should move. I don't have that spiritual weapon up if you want to use your bonus action to do that. You could finish him. Or you can finish him. You could heal himself.

I'm going to use my spiritual weapon. Oh, shit. Ballsy, ballsy. You can only move 20 feet. Say again? So it can only catch up to him. Right there. Diagonally.

Yeah, I could probably do it. It flies over objects, too. Yep. The back of us, the back of the second. So yeah, you could do that, but you can't see him right now. You'd have to move over to have them in view. And one of them would get an opportunity now? One of them would if you were to try and dodge past, yeah.

What do you want to do? You have to move anyway. You have? It's up to you. What are you going to do? I'm going to try to, yeah. But make an acrobatics structure, you try and tumble in your armor between the legs of one of the guys in front of you. Cling, cling, click. You can do it, Pike. You can do it!

You have inspiration. Oh, you do have inspiration. Oh, you do have inspiration. And you'll need it, it looks like. Plus, plus, plus, plus. Plus. Whatever your acrobatics is. Plus, plus, plus.

With advantage, with triple D. with triple disadvantage. Is this 14? 14? 14. 14. 14. Oh, he's going to the book for this.

For a for a somersault. And isn't this guy technically flanked by enemies? I'm just going to sneak around. He's slanked by enemies. Can't she run under his balls? It's okay. Let the DM DM. Let me deal with it, guys.

You don't want to prod me right now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Chapter 3, sever assaults. All that I have and more. You're doing amazing. Every week you do amazing. All right. Let's see if the kiss is a little bit.

All right, so you managed to just barely push past, but you do trigger a second attack of opportunity to do so. Maybe he misses. Maybe he's a shithead. That guy, that big half fork right there that gets in your way. So two strikes against you. That is a second. natural 20, and that's going to be a 13.

Okay, well that messes. So that is pretty low roll. Six, ten points of slashing damage. She's alive. All right. She's alive. What are you at? I'm alive.

Technically. I am at 15. 15. All right. Okay. So as you dodge past, get slammed by two blades. You're kind of arc around the corner, and they're all just kind of looking at each other, kind of confused. Some of them affected by this magic they aren't expecting. And you rush around

and you see in the distance, Kevdak, who's now just kind of like getting shot a couple times, gets set on fire, flames burst up, and he starts screaming out in pain. As you turn the corner, you look over at your spiritual weapon, and you can nudge it forward. Do this. Right there, it's full movement 20 feet. Let's go ahead and make your attack with your spell attack modifier. He's not an advantage because he's no longer paralyzed. 20. 20 hits, good old damage.

So 4D8 plus 4. Oh, wow, that's good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it doesn't fuck around. Still halved, but. Yeah, well. Come on, Sarah, right. Plus what?

Four. Plus four. 24. 24 halved to 12. Fuck! I know, I forget about it too. Yeah, I know. I forget about it too.

This is what we all feel watching you fight. The blade drifts, drifts over, and in a giant arc swings down, with a resounding, shining, metallic slam. The blade streaks through and just cuts the swath. The blade doesn't stop, but just pass it through and leaves this kind of scar across his body of burned radiant energy. Looks over and just glares at you

from across the open cobblestone of this marketplace. And you see for a second that look, that Grog saw it that caused him to drop his weapon. You suddenly feel just like this quake in your soul. This is a powerful entity that's hatred is now bent on you. I can still move a little bit more, right? Because that was only. You can if you'd like to.

It may take more attacks of opportunity, though. Why? Because if you move further, you might move out of combat with the other guys that are there. But they're attacking each other. The command move means on their next turn, they attack each other. Doesn't mean that they're armed or dominated.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks. But how many feet did I move? How many feet am I able to move anyway? That would have been 10 feet. You can move 15 more. Okay, I can move 15 more anyway. Yeah. But you will take two attacks opportunity if you move out of combat with these two.

Wouldn't that be included in the attacks that I just took? If I can move 15 total? You move 25 total because you're tiny feet. You move 10, you have 15 more feet you can move. Titty feet. Should you just stay? Should I just stay? Yeah. I'll just stay. I'll just stay. Okay. Oh, God. There's plenty of other people are going. There's plenty of other people who are going. You need to heal yourself, dude. I know, I know, I know, I know.

Barbarians are going now. This one picks up the gauntlet and is going to rush over and bring it to Kevdak. What? And it's just going to go ahead and hold it there as Kevdak kind of takes his arm. Is the arm still in it? The arm is still in it, yeah. And he's like kind of looks at it and just takes it with his free hand, and just kind of clutches it to his chest. And looks around the other one says, is he holding a weapon?

We're going. But wait, was he holding a weapon? We're going. He has no weapon. His weapon was pulled away from him. I thought someone brought him his weapon. Oh, but the hammer, he brings up the hammer as well, but he doesn't. But I thought he was, like, no, I'm trying, I know, I'm desperately trying to give a reason why this

It couldn't work. No, he has no weapon currently. He tried to reach for, but he had no functional one of the time. He told someone to pick it up, so someone has your flaming war hammer. These guys here are going to move over here. No. Move over here. No.

No. And that one's going to be attacking Pike. This one here. Two attacks on Pike. That's going to be a 13, and a 14. 14. We're really low on that one. Pray Sarenrae.

Pray Sarenra. I'm liable, I can't do it. I can't do it. You hear the growl behind you, and without even turning your head, you slam your shield up and deflect one of the blows. Look over your shoulder and glare at it as another one comes down. And this, you take your mace and swing it in a wide arc over and slam their blade against the stone wall of the side and deflecting the entire attack. As that's happening, both of those guys go forward.

Two and one. It goes up against one of the peasants and strikes in the people. The peasant just ducks out of the way and then chooses to avoid the attacks. That's good. That's good. That's good. There's over there where the giant club goes down and one of them hits. Dodges one of the attacks. The other one does come down at 11.

Yeah, this peasant gets smashed. Oh no. Was that the little kid? No, this was the drunker guy. Well, he didn't feel it. Far as you know. Died happy. Died happy. All right.

That ends their turn. It's the druid's turn now. Oh, God. There's just so many. I know. They just all get to go. That's how they all feel when we end up. This druid here is going to move forward, seeing you over there, Vax,

reaches out towards you, as it only has its fourth level spells and lower left. Because you counter spell, motherfucker. It's going to go ahead and cast blight on you, Leon. I need you to go ahead and make a constitution saying, waving throw. As the druid reaches out with you with its hand, it says, Keptak, inside. Concentrates gripping out this female Goliath. You can see where these thick braids in the back of her head and pulled into a very, very tight braid for the lower part of her back, reaches out and grasps. You feel the blood begin to pull in parts of your body and your veins turn dark around. That constitution's here, right?

Eight total. Total. Total. All right. James, man. Don't make that phase. You take 41 points of necrotic damage. Ow. As you feel the energy pulsed through your entire body,

and it's like all the blood in your body momentarily becomes toxic, and your vision kind of blurs, and you feel the Disney's hit you, and you almost stumble to one knee, but you catch yourself against the wall. It's tap me. That ends the Druids turn. Now the blade mongers are going to go. All right. These guys are all going to attack each other.

Yeah. It's a party here. Except for that one. Are they not going to attack him as well? Well, one of them is going to go ahead and attack Pike because it was the one that wasn't affected by the command spell. That's going to be 19. Nope, okay. And a 13.

Nope. Once again, just, boom, cannot hit this armored little gnome. It's like pushed against the wall and you're just like deflecting blows and taking hits against the armor. They're like denting the front of it and you're just kind of grinning and bearing it. I'm growling. You guys are attacking each other now. That hits. They can't hit you, but they can hit each other.

Two attacks against that guy, and then the other guy both hit. So the first guy takes 14. 24 points of damage. Hold on. I can. I can, but I'm like. Just focus on the mission. Hand. Ends up that guy there. Then also takes 22 points of damage on them. Okay. They

just start hacking into each other with their blades suddenly, trying to figure out what's happening. And suddenly, the barbarian two strikes. The third one actually that missed you, that would have been attacking its own guy, because that was the one that didn't take it. So he would have been 12 seconds against this guy. So he deals an additional 13 points of damage against Okay, gotcha. So that finishes there, turn there. These guys here are going to move around the fire. This guy's gonna move up over here.

Everyone's a disadvantage with me, just a reminder? Yeah. This guy here is gonna go ahead and three, and then using green beer, who reaches out and grabs him with his elemental arm and kind of alubes him up onto the roof. Oh, Duke. With the acobatics roll.

Rolls a one. Oh, you guys. slams into the side and instead falls back to the ground. Missing his turn. Some other loser that I know of. The Greenbeard miscalculates and just actually slams them against the wall. And the Ghalaj kind of,

rides down. Takes four points of bludgeoning damage from that. Four points of blood. All righty. And that guy there is going to go ahead and strike at The child. No. A three?

And 14. Shifty kid. Come on. Come on. Little. Little. He's a little. He's a little.

He's a little. He's a scrapper. He's dodgy. The kid gets cleaved. We didn't save anybody and we killed ourselves. If we can't everybody, maybe I'm going to raise. They're just now trying to find a way to draw you out. They're like taking turns doing this.

Who? Each person they strike down, they look about the rooftops again for more of you. That's going to go ahead and these guys here are now going to go ahead and start swarming over the front. This guy here, one, two, three, six, can't quite get to you, Vax. This guy here is going to, after seeing Percy jump down, he's going to go ahead and jump down to meet you from behind. Let's see if he makes his. He fails on two. He falls prone, takes...

I'm coming! He takes 12 points of falling damage. Oh, help. However, he does use the rest of his movement to stand back up. And he's going to go ahead and take two swings at you, Percy. That's going to be a 23 to hit. I'm going to pull my magic shield and get my... Actually, I would have to have a 24 AC for that not to hit.

Correct. Yeah, no, I'm going to... Okay. So the first strike hits you for 12 points of slashing damage. Okay. Second strike, double ones on the crit. So that's four, eight points of slashing damage with the second hit. Roll double ones on his crit. That's really frustrating. You're fine with that. I'm fucking fine. All right, that ends. There's on top of the round. Vex, you're up. Okay. As you're standing there now bleeding fustly, holding the necklace, that holds grog.

What are you doing? I'm gonna fly over right above Kevdak, like a good 50 feet. Yeah, it's 50, all right. I'm gonna, I'm gonna... Polka ball fog right out so we can attack straight out the gate, just like a cannonball trinket. And I am willing.

All right. Aren't you at death's door? Yeah. I'll say essentially because you held your action last turn if you wanted to go ahead and take your action to do a drop attack on this point here. Can this be my bonus so I'm dropping him out as a bonus and then I still can attack? Locket activation. It's only locket. I mean it's only a locket.

It's not like it's a full move. I'd say it's your bonus action to do it. Okay. So Grog, you were released. Falling down to land at like on top of Kevdak with the blood axe and a down More to ARC. Big windup as we're coming down. Go ahead and roll an attack.

Any chance I can make this reckless? Don't know where. Yeah. No, no, no, no. I'll get attacked. It pantages against you again. Up to you. Thank God for that.

Natural 20. Look at it. The first one was a one. The first one was a one. You can't, you gotta stop this. That's a 20. And that's why you did reckless. All right, so go ahead and roll damage on this.

Wrong. Oh my God. This is a quintuple quick critical. Does that mean he gets the 312s again? With the Brutal Critical this level, how many extra dice is it for you? Brutal Critical is one additional damage die during critical hits. But then you've gone, that's gone up since you leveled previous rates. So you are now at, I believe, I think it's two.

So three additional, yeah, 13, it increases to two. So you roll additional 2D12 on the attack. So roll 1D12 plus you're not raging anymore because you spent the last round. That's correct, yeah. We don't know. Right, so plus three. That's 10. 10.

Can't just put them on this? Plus two more D12s. One's still filled with the B. That's a 12. That's 22. And a 10, or a 32. And then double that? And then...

Oh, because Crids don't be double the first roll. Yeah, the double the first. Alright, which was 10, so 20, so 42. 42, means it is 21 damage. How do you want to do that? Yes! As you, as the shatter fires from the necklace as she holds it aloft, bleeding and shaking, you appear and dive down in silence.

Oh my God. The whole square coming towards you as Kevdak clutching in the one nearly ruined arm, the other arm that you bisected, is turning the corner about to open the door to dive into the house to avoid it. Looks up just in time to see you streaking down. What do you do? I say four Strungia! And I sink the act right into his necks and pot him perfectly down the middle. With the sheer force of the blow, the weight behind it and the intent, the axe hits him right in the side of the neck, cleaves off part of his ear, shaves off part of his skin here, exposing the jawbone, hits here, breaks the clavicle, tears through it, and every single rib is destroyed. It cuts right through the center of this giant body until it gets to about the mid-year. section where it catches finally. The upper torso just splits open and just covers you with gore. However, you still impact.

Not raging. Nope. You take... He's going to die. He's going to die. He's okay. He's got his trick. He's got his trick. I don't care. 25 points of fall damage from the impact. That will put me unconscious.

21 points under. And 21 points under. You have that barbarian ability. I do. With that be part of this? Relateless rage. If you drop it to your hit points while raging, you're not raging. So yeah.

As you shout, the blow in a very Superman versus Doomsday way, cleaves him in half, and as you slam into the ground, you pull the axe free, as your shattered leg bones give under and you fall to the ground, smile as you see his form crumple and then you face first in the ground before him. Oh, I'm still going. It's still my turn. Serio turn. You watch as every single herd member in the entire open square just kind of gasps at this whole sight. They all kind of turn hearing you scream for strong jaw and see this happen. As Kevdak's body slumps to the ground, it shrinks back down to its

average size, and you crumpled to the ground smiling and fall next to him, and everyone just kind of takes a moment of breathless silence. What are you doing, Vex? Oh, my God. Wait, are you dead, Grog? He's unconscious. He can run over to him. I... You just... Don't go over there. I mean, my only option to heal him is to land and touch him. I can... I can... There's... He's surrounded by baddies. Well...

Maybe don't bend you know. Fuck it. I'm gonna land and touch Grog. Yeah. Okay. With the speed of the broom. I don't know. It should stay on the broom, how fast you can move on it. Do I have that so on? No, in your broom chapter.

I'll find it for you. Oh, wait, wait. Just a moment, guys. Room of flying, a speed of 50 feet. So you move from over here, which would have put you, it's about 50 to get there. So you could use your action to dash where that you'd land. That's all you could do. I couldn't do anything else.

No. Okay, then I guess I'm just gonna stay where I am and, um... Jeez. Can I hold my action? I'm gonna hold my action until... Did you get thrown? Just... She already used her...

Yeah, it's an action defeat a potion to anyone. Yeah. What are you going to do, Vex? Hurry up. I'm going to hold my action until um... Until Grog is healed. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. And I, can I shout anything? You want to? I am going to shout, Witness Grog Strongjaw and bend the knee. It's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great.

Make an intimidation check. Okay. Honor's death. Nets! No! Don't hit the table, I was going to go inspect it. Oh, but it hit it hit it, but it was a two years. It was at 20 years.

I trust you guys. I trust you guys. It's all once in twelf. It's all once in twelf. We have these two-sided die. I saw it. I swear, I swear on everything, I saw it. This is gonna be an interesting night to explain to the internet, guys.

Ah. Alright. You open it up to the dice, and the dice decided. We witnessed, we witnessed. Witnessed me. I witnessed you! So, at this point in time, you watch as Greenbeard's form, shrinks down and shifts back into

His Goliath form still kind of busted. He's just kind of looking down at the destroyed, crumbled body of Kevdak and you there on the ground as well, looking up at you above, just kind of hovering. He looks over at the other Goliath's nearby here that were rushing in and they all kind of step out and backwards inspecting this body. There's a moment, there's a pause, a moment of pause, but they've all paid attention to what you said. That ends turn. It is now the archer's turn. It's not me right after her, but. I'm sorry, you're up next to you.

Yeah. I'm going to use Disengage to back a little bit away from them. I want to scrabble up the wall. Just, where's the light? No. I want to go up by Keelith. You're pointing at the screen. So you move around. Sorry. We're so tired. Not the first one to do that and pass her. And I want to jump down and land in front of Grog. Okay. So you run past there. And jump in front of him. Between him. And not green, but between Grog and everyone over there. Okay, so you're leaping technically onto the body of Kevdak.

That's fine. Okay. So, so you land onto Kevdaq's form. Very angry slash, I'll say for the purposes of this, you're there, because Kevdak's body is way too big right now to put on the field. But we're so going to loot that. So we'll loop that ship. All right, you land.

We survive this. With your hasted movement, making acrobatics check for the dump. That's fine. It's 25. Yeah, you scale up. Scale up, run, leap, land there. Be kind of sinking into the body. And I land on him and I say,

Kevdak has fallen. Will you let strong jaw rise? And I hold my action to attack if they come at me. Okay. So the archer's turn. This archer just kind of has its arrow trained on you. It's going to hold its action. This archer here is going to move up

to see what's happened, a dashing to just take a look out and see what happened. It doesn't get its turn. This archer here, who's now moved, moves over to this side with its arrow train on you as well. He's also going to hold its action. They're just all looking at each other. It's this kind of Mexican standoff moment

where they're all just poised and ready. Everyone's holding their actions right now. Would be Kavdak's turn, Scanlan, you're up. I'm pretty far. I'm gonna jump down off the roof and move towards Grog. Okay, so you run down. Okay. The guy who is up against you has looked over and is also kind of not paying attention to this moment. Make a stealth check.

Stealth check. You're bored. 13. 13. As you rush down the thing, he looks over and looks and he goes, hey, hey, and can't even catch to you, you're too fast. Hi, hey, hey, hey, hey. Make an acabatics check as you leap off the roof. Uh, 19. 19. You gnomish three-point land in the square. You're right next to Pike now. You've landed just next to you. As you're around the corner now, you see Scanlan just right next to you. Hi.

About 15 more feet you could move if you wanted to. Move 15 feet? Okay. I will... I can't take her hand and walk too. She can't move right now. No, not at the moment. Okay. Well, I'm going to continue to walk. I could say if you wanted to, you could move half your movement and take her with you. Okay, I'll do that. Okay, I'll do that and take her with me. Okay, you take her hand. Hmm? Uh-oh.

Uh-uh. And I'm gonna use healing word. Oh, shit. What did it just happen? You and Pike move just there holding each of his hand. Okay. I'm gonna use healing word on grog. Uh, and I'm just gonna start chanting,

strong jaw, strong jaw, strong jaw, strong jaw, strong jaw, strong jaw. Strong jaw. John and communicate that as a healing word to him. Okay, go ahead and roll the heel on that. I also want you to go ahead and make a persuasion check. Me? Yeah. Yeah, baby.

Well, the heel is eight points. So you go to zero and then eight. Okay. And a persuasion check. I'm sitting on your chest. No, you're sitting on keb-dags. That's good, too. Well, I mean, come on.

I know. It's 23. That is your superpower right now. Finish your turn, Scanlan? No, I have an action still. Yes, you do. So I will cast Bigby's hand and lift Grog up like 30 feet like a fucking god.

If he's willing. I will say this, because I want to do this. It's ridiculous. Oh, I had to cast that at level six. Is it full palm up or is it Bark Alangelo-style? Right, yeah. You know what?

Because he's the god and the hand is subservient, it's the back of the hand. It's a dainty lift. Grog is now currently being held a lot. Right there. Nice. Nice. As the hand is clutching Grog strong jaw.

Frog, strong jaw, lifting him up into the air. You're conscious now as the hands kind of holding you on its back and you get up from one knee, Grog, it's your turn. Pinky's up. Tea time. My hurt. Oh, shit. Hear me.

Fallen is your mighty leader, Kevdak. The very Goliath swine who would have domesticated you like a common household cat. Who would have made you bend the knee to a mere dragon? I show you this. And I reach into the bag of holding, and I pull out one of the dragon's teeth that is still in there, and I toss it into the middle of the square.

Tud-de-de-de-chleash the ground, at one of the feet of one of the nearby blade storms. It just like stops it with his foot and looks at it, picks it up. I would tell you that under the correct rule, Under the return of power to this herd, dragons would bend the knee to the herd of the storm. Where is Zanroar?

They all kind of look at each other, and green beard kind of hobbles out, still wounded and hurt into the center of this area. Does he have an actual name, or is that just his name? Greenbeard's his name? Oh, great. He steps out into the middle looking up at you. Strong jaw.

You stand above us all in a way. Claiming dominion over a herd that you fell to and left behind for years. Though you struck down Kevdak, what do you think makes you align with the interests of our people? Oh, you mistake me. seeer of the herd. I do not mean to lead this herd, but rather to empower you to more

powerful game. I'm here to inspire your aspirations. Never would I ask you to bend the knee. Only would I ask you to live and fight and perhaps die in the most beautiful death you could possibly attain. Join me and my fellows. Come to our aid when I call. And with that, we will chase down dragons, gods, and more. Make a persuasion check with an advantage. Come, come on that.

That's only an 11. Can I use war gods blessing, or? I don't think it works for abilities. Can I assist him with a sky right of strong jaw? He's strong! Like a storm cloud above him. Inspo, inspiration from anywhere. That's a little late for that.

Okay. At this point, Greenbeard just kind of sizes you up from a distance. Everyone else is kind of waiting for a word. You can see everyone is like hand on the side of their weapons, looking at each other, and there's just this extremely tense air. Green beer turns around and looks to two of the individuals near the front of the building and goes, Bring out Zanroar. And the two of them go inside the door and close it behind them. They step inside the building and there's this long silence. You wait for 30 seconds.

Can I take a healing potion while they're inside? I'm just like up on the thing. Can I keep talking? Can I keep talking? Can I, can, yes. Can I see him? You can see him, yeah. So I'm going to cast heel on it. You're going to ask to heal?

Yeah. As you begin to like grow for your holy symbol, you can see two of the warriors behind you twitch for their weapons. It is not necessary. Brothers, look me in the eye as the taste of food lost its appeal, as the zest for life fallen from your hearts, living in this domesticated dwelling. I promise you this. Hear me, and I promise you adventures and glory that is worthy of this herd." The door slams open from the front of the market. Graves' home, you see as the two individuals come out with chains over their shoulders, as they drag out into the center two individuals. You see another half-giant Goliath man,

one that you've all seen once before on your way to Craghammer months and months ago. Yeah, about. You see him swollen in the face, bruised, and in shackles. dragged out and thrown to the ground. And the other one holds over his shoulder in other chains. He pulls out behind him what looks to be a half giant woman with the hair on the sides of her head shaved one single long man of hair and what looks like she's with child, also in shackles.

And she's kind of pushed to the ground with the Xanroy. Zanroy kind of looks up and you can see it kind of closing his eyes, like the daylight itself, is very bright and he's. probably hasn't seen light in a period of time. Strong jar. Cousin, your face seems a little different. At this moment he looks over and glances it can see the body of Kevdok in the ground for the first time.

And he goes, you did this. Scanlan, lower me down. I swoop him down. Do you want to be on the ground or just above it? On the ground. but I release him and I make, I sort of make like a fist that clenches right next to him just in case anything goes down. So as you brought down to the ground, Bigby's hand sets you gently onto the cobblestone. I take a few steps forward.

Yes, this is my work. A debt fulfilled many years. Fear of the herds lost its edge. Edge, priorities. My father had grown docile in this place. But he wouldn't be if Whispers hadn't found his ears. He looks over a green beard. Green beard immediately steps back and goes, Look at him in shackles. This isn't a warrior. This is a slave. Both of them spits in their direction. Strange. I would ask, why is he in shackles? What did say? Zanur do. They would draw this sort of ire from the herd. The one that's holding the chains on Zanroar kind of pulls him a little tighter, and Zanmer was

kind of like, lift it up a little bit off of his kind of leaning forward position. He's now on his knees and his arms are pulled up in towards his torso. And Greenbeard kind looks back towards you. The sky shield is spoke against his father. He was attempting some sort of mutiny. But we quelled that right quick. If you haven't time to think about it. His father was deciding what to do with this traitor and his next akin. You, however, seemingly stopped his trial, so I think it's only fitting that you do the honors

of finishing the job. And you can see as you were lifted off the ground and everything, you did not have your weapon with you. As you were kind of on the ground lifted up, Greenbeard steps over and takes the blood axe from the ground, walks up to you, and hands it out, and looks over to Zanroar. I am sorry, Zanroar, but I will make it a glorious death. Bring me the gauntlets as well. It'd be. And the two of the other imagerals, one of the half-ork individuals kind of looks over hushed him and starts backing away from this. This is too much for him. There's

this now this kind of tribal tension, this cultural tension that only exists within the initial herd, and it's been only recently adopted by the river maw that were absorbed by the herd, and are still kind of confused by this. Two of the Glythe step over and pull and pry out the somewhat soggy left-over arm of Kevdak as well. Kind of like when you're eating lobster. Yeah, it's kind of pulling out of the shell. Shrinks as at least. And they toss them to the ground before you. I'll push down. Put on the gauntlets.

Kevdak at this point, he's still being held by the chains. I'm just this. Zerner. Sorry, Zeneru, thank you. It was unbefitting of us all. Be living under one of those beasts. Under my rule, we are going to take back our power as a people. Quiet yourself.

I've heard enough. And I lift the blood axe and I say, you are a disgrace to this herd. And I will return. this hood to Palah, and I pivot and I drive the blood axe into Greenbeard. Oh, shit! Roll and attack. Yeah, you do, Betty.

Reckless? If you want to. I will. No, get the fuck out. It's a fucking natural 20. Roll damage. We're gonna have to get these dice calibrated lately. But why does it only happen when it's like a story element?

That's an 11. Watch us next week. Critical Roll implements dice cam. No, that's awesome. Oh, I'll take a picture. I'll take a picture. So that's 15. All right.

And then two more? Two more, yeah. Watch next week is we failed to open the door to his house. It's an hour and a half. Yes. Can't roll above a five. I'm tweeting that right now. How do you want to do this?

Oh, you got it? Yeah. He had taken a shits of damage in the battle was already kind of moving by. He had like 12 more hit points left, so. It seems, oh, the poison came from his head. So all the poison came from his head. remove that from his body. And with that moment, soo, with a very slick snapping sound, the blade coasts through, and

the neck retreats as the head continues forward and just stumbles to the feet as Greenbeard's body takes an instinctual step backward and then just falls lifeless in the center of the marketplace. All of the rest of the herd kind of like moves for a second nervously. I spin and I say, do you see, do you see what staying in one place does? This What is what weakness looks like! I would return you to the wild. I would return you to power. But you will have to do it.

Under this Goliath's rule, un-chain Zanroar. I point Bigby's hand like he was, too. As Bigby's hand, Zanroar, the two that are holding the chains, move up and begin to un-chain them both, taking the shank. Michael's off his hands and the female Goliathet to decide. Eventually he stands up, reaches everyone, puts his arm around her and says, I'm sorry, Wara. Wara. Wara?

Wara. She stands to us. Do not be sorry. It seems we've been delivered from our judgment. She looks up towards you. You don't recognize her. She's not from the original herd. General, she is. Quite a beauty. Congratulations. We saved us narrowly, being executed, Rog. He stands up, gets to the front of all the rest of the herd there. Call forth the rest of our people.

We do not leave this town yet. We claim West Run home for one more night, for it is tomorrow at dawn. We slam our blades against the hide of the dragon. This is a life worth living. Will you join us? us in this glory and pride, their cousin Rock, who have proven yourself worthy of life, the respect, and the might of the hurt of storms.

How many do you number? He looks about and takes in the mental math of all the people that were killed. To be fair, we didn't kill that many. I know, he took a few down. We'd stand between the people that were loyal to me. My father, a good 43 men strong. More than we need. I have my earpiece and I go, thoughts.

I mean, we have a busy day tomorrow already. I don't know if we should add dragons to it. We're hunting another dragon. Just say yes, just say yes. We can always leave in the dead of night. All right. All this bloodshed has given me a terrible itch in my ear. We shall stay with you.

And tomorrow we will bathe. We will bathe in the blood of a dragon. He steps forward to you now. There's a slight limb to his walk, but there's too much pride for him to show it as he tenses. He reaches out his hand to you and clasps it in his own. Beastmaster style, holding onto it.

For the dragons, it shall be. It shall be. He releases the grasp. Let them walk amongst us as brethren. Come, we have my friends. much preparation to do. And he goes back to Wara and kind of limps into her arms and she takes him up.

And it's her strength now lifting him on his feet. And the two begin to make their way across the rest of the center of town. All the rest of them take their weapons and they relax. And they still keep a very wary eye of you. The words have been said and there is still this tenuous truce. But they're still coming off the cusp of adrenaline, warfare, and the slaughtering of their previous leader. However, they are going along with the words that were spoken, and there is a look of general fear and respect in their eyes, though guarded as it may be.

What do you guys want to do? I'd like to sever the remaining gristle away from his arm that's holding the gauntlet on. The gauntlets have been retrieved and given a grog-off. Then I would like to loot Greenbeard's body. Could you do my favor? Could you butcher me a skull of Caddak, please? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, can we... I'm gonna land. I'm gonna land. I'm gonna land. I'm gonna land all right. And I'm gonna call Trinket out. Trinit who's been kind of hiding in the building. These things happened so fast for him.

It did happen. And they were really strong people. I got to go over and heal. Yeah. I've already healed him. I'm gonna go over, are there any remains of the little boy? Is it too late to heal any of them? Do you have anything that can heal the little boy or bring him back? Bring him back.

Ty, Ty. I go like. Can I key, anything? I go and I check the little boy. How bad is he? Is he beyond the point of return? He's done. Could I...

Reserrect him or something? He's done that's really. I have a raised dead stall. Do you? Does it turn into a zombie or does it... No, just raises them from the dead. Okay, yeah, do that. Kind of dragon does a back drag.

Okay, I'll go with a little boy and see if I can... Okay, this will take a one. All right, so as you take a little one. As the rest of the herd move on following Zanroar, they begin to separate to gather the rest of the herd throughout the town. A few stay behind just keeping watch. I'll always put Pike in any way that I can. Okay. I'm going to sit and fix my gun.

That's more important. All right. What am I going to do tinker him back the way? 500 gold are consumed by the casting of the spell as part of the... I'll help. Okay. Takes an hour. Oh, now you've got a problem with it.

No. I think it's good. As you guys take this time, This is a short rest for those you who aren't part of this ritual. You complete the ritual. Go ahead and make a religion check. You already boxed up your stuff. She was like, I'm done, I'm out. Peace. 20? Do 20 add your religion.

That's good. 24. Okay. Vexie says you wanted to help. What do you want to help with the ritual on? Oh, no, I said I wanted to go. She was assisting. I was helping with the money. Right, sorry. I'm with the money. How are you aiding with the ritual? What, how am I aiding with the ritual? What were you doing?

Well, she was casting, she was preparing the ritual and preparing the skills and taking out the components and praying to Sarah and Ray and speaking the rights, which kind of channel through her celestial language. Though she doesn't understand Celestial, she speaks it through as part of the spell, almost like the issue. I speak celestial. I also speak, no, I speak primordial. I keep getting that confused. How are you aiding in this? Can I just use, like, place my hand on his chest?

and you just my, like kind of place the other, my other hand on the ground and try and use natural healing to assist? Sure. Go and make a straight wisdom rule. Actually. Natural one. Okay. Can I assist? How would you like to assist? I would like to come over and start listening to the chanting that she's doing in Celestial and harmonize and bring a voice to it since I can't actually speak celestial.

Roll a performance check. That's lovely. Harmonize. 21. All right. As you finish the ritual, both the voices of Pike and Percy begin to harmonize across these various refrains in a language that in itself when spoken, especially in this rhythmic, ritualistic way, it seems to almost create a third voice.

And you hear clearly there is a third voice harmonizing with them that you don't know where it's coming from. It's me. I'm just like, oh, I'm just like, oh, really. As the beautiful musical tones of the singing come to a close, your holy symbol, the glow fades, and a moment passes before you hear this soft coughing of the child's throaty expulsion himself, taking in his next breath of air. He sits up kind of cradling his head. What happened? It's okay. I dump a cure wounds in him now. It's okay.

It's okay. Welcome back. Not a potion, I cast you. Okay. Take you out of taking it. It's like, oh, love. It's not though.

I'm asking mine and lift him up by the neck. Shot, right the chest. Six years of Celestial, and when are you ever going to use it? It finally pays off. Useless language otherwise. Thanks for helping for us. That was lovely.

Thank you. The child has brought back to life, healed, confused, dazed, but I'm really understanding the circumstances around him, just kind of happy to be... He heals 24 hit points. Yeah, he's good to go. His wounds close. The dry blood's still there, but he seems to be in perfect health at the moment. Although a little weak and worse for wear. Where's your mother child? I don't know.

Was she here in the square with you? No, everything just went by so fast. They tried to pull them out, but they tried to pull them out, but They found me and they pulled me out and brought me here. That's all that. There was a fight and a lot of yelling. That's all I remember. Where do you live? Up by the temples.

Okay. Well, we'll help you find your family. Mm-hmm. And maybe while we're there, we can see if your grandfather is around. Yeah. Yeah. And the smiles a little bit. You can still say like the dried blood streaks

across his face, but you can see past that to the smile that peeks through beneath his dirty face. I lift him up and put him on Trinket so we can start walking. He kind of laughs and Trinquet kind of licks him and kind of takes some of that off. And he kind of is just excited to be grasping something. Though he kind of slides a couple times. You can see he's just weak from the remnants of the resurrection spell. I just kind of give him a boost.

Okay. Anybody else doing anything for the short rest? I would like to not only remove Kedadak's head. Okay. Just the upper part, no jaw, just the upper skull. Yeah. would like to use the blood axe to fillet the skin around the bear tattoo off in a patch. Okay.

Is there anything else to loot off of Kepdak? I mean, there's the blood axe, there was the gauntlets. The gauntlets. And he has four plus one enchanted javelins that you did not have an opportunity to use this battle. Oh, yeah. Like a Polding! Okay, I already cold green bid. I'll take the plus.

There's nothing on there? I'd like to put the skin, the flayed skin in your refrigerator. Mark that in your refrigerator bag, the flayed bear tattoo of Kevac. That's disgusting. That's disgusting. Awesome. General other armor. Order staff, you do find one potion of greater healing he did not have the opportunity to try.

Nice. That's all he has on him. Okay. I'm going to spend the rest of the time that they did that ritual gathering up the by bodies. I'm going to fix my gun. Okay. You take a green check?

Just barely. I'm going to hit a little. By one point. Okay. Did not break. Good. All right. I'm going to like a small fire for them.

There is already a fire going. Is it? It's now, like slower burning embers now of one of the barricades that had been set fire by the fireball earlier. I'm going to put the bodies on. Okay, so you start taking the bodies of the dead villagers. that have been lost in the battle and a handful of the other combatants that had fallen. And you kind of just throw them onto the fire and crackles and burns over time. The smell of burning bodies kind of fills the space around it for a while.

We have a house to, we have a house to procure some items from, and a conversation I have with Zamora at some point. What time of day is it now? Are there any other Goliaths in the square that are lingering? There are three lingering that are just kind of keeping an eye. Can I walk over to one? Sure. Tonight we prepare for an incredible battle.

Go. Release any meager prisoners you may have kept. They will do nothing for our fight. Very well. These two stay, though. No offense, but you did just kill one of my friends, not for an hour ago. I did. And your claim is fair. These two? Who's these two?

There were three herd members that were up in Hollywood. Two of them are Goliaths, one of them is human. Human and the other Goliath stay behind, the one you kind of walks off, and seems to be following through on what you told them to do. Is it Lord Zanro by the way? I may request an audience with Lord Zanro at some point with your supervision. I've read it. Now Thunderlord, Zanroar. You're right?

Thunderlord. Thunder lord. Yeah. Thunderlord. I said that in my head. We've got Pike's dad to find. We've got a house to loot. You're a child to deliver home.

Did you want to look over the items you've found the kibble? I've got... And a unique opportunity to maybe really fuck up a dragon. If we want to be smart. There's your tight and stuff. about it. Bowing down like he's been knighted. We have a dragon who's going to go pick up a giant package of whatever we give him.

Oh, shit, you're right. So we can make some interesting decisions and what's in that box. That is an interesting point. I love to make a square or are we allowed to? No. It doesn't seem to be anything holding you there other than the ritual that was done. When the ritual is completed, you're welcome to go about what you're doing. And at which point you do see, like, as time has passed, a few people start kind of poking

through windows who apparently were either hiding in some of these buildings and see you guys and kind of just like check out and then go back into hiding again. The town still has people living throughout, many of them just kind of stay hidden whenever things move in their vicinity. Okay. So. What's our thing? Do we want to achieve anything else tonight or just rest? I feel like we should return this little boy. And go find.

And see if we can find your phone. In the short term, we should be able to walk freely, then. Yeah. All right, so as you guys gather yourselves partially rested and breathing a sigh of relief of the not horrible circumstance that nearly transpired there, thanks to the luck of the gods in a lot of cases. I mean. I mean. I mean.

You make your way northward through Western towards the temple district, small child at your side with the intent. On trinket. On trinket. by your side, and possibly to prepare for whatever the herd has in store for dawn. Oh, my God. And with that, we'll finish tonight's game. Wow.
