Dive in to this evening's episode of Critical Roll. our band of adventures Vox Machina have been in search of vestiges of divergence,

a series of powerful artifacts that they will utilize in the coming battle with the chroma conclave, a collection of dangerous chromatic dragons that have tore through the countryside of Taldore and beyond. You've felled two of the dragons, one long ago and one relatively recently, named Amrassil. You've seemingly

briefly passed by Vorugal, the white dragon, and Thorndak still sits among on top of Iman with Raishan somewhere in the wind. You made your way to the distant continent of Marquette, eventually to the city of Ankarael, where you began seeking another vestige, known as Cabal's Ruyn.

After some fun casino games and losing some money on some drug deals, you discovered that the owner, allegedly, the owner of Kabbal's ruin was found killed, wounds referring to her pointing towards some sort of bullet entry and exit points, and a woman matching the description of one Dr. Anna Ripley, having left but a week before the cloak nowhere to be seen.

Through a couple of scry attempts, you managed to see that she, with her own band of bodyguards, was currently heading north through to the ocean via ship towards something in the distance, which you found to be an island-made, or now, currently covered in shards of broken glass, known as Glint Shore, as part of the Hespit Archipelago. You guys managed to, through your influence and discussion,

attain a sky ship. Who knew? Who knew? Crazy. With Captain Damon, who previously had taken you guys to Vasselheim long ago. You, through the druidic mastery of Keelith, tore through a storm that would have slowed your arrival,

seemingly forcing an earlier earlier arrival than expected from the team at Glenshore. You guys went into full-on Avengers mode and tore into their ship, destroying it in the bay outside of Glenshore, swooped down onto the edge of the dark glass and soot-covered beach, and you now are all kind of gathering the scenery around you as to what your next point in this aggressive maneuver is. So at this point in time, you've all sort of gathered along the eastern beach

of Glendshore. Grog, you are still an eagle, a giant eagle, polymorked by Scanlan. You have your wings out still. You guys have flown about, and you've seen what appears to be the remnants of some sort of a small campsite with a faint ember still burning and giving off a hint of smoke, but it's been a while since it has been utilized. And he said like five hours is what I... About five hours. Like you just got there and kind of checked it right now. We'll get into the more specifics of that here in a moment. So we have currently, if I recall, Grog is an Eagle and Scanlan, and who else is in the center of the beach area between the actual shoreline and the jungle? I'm just showing up on the beach.

Okay, beach. I was also on the beach. I thought we were on route when we ended. We had just landed. We had just gotten there. Just gotten there. We're having. Oh, there's the accent.

Yeah, so we have kind of in between the shoreline and the tree line, the mostly dead petrified trees, gray and in the distance, we have the two of you. And the rest of you currently are now gathering at the beach at the campsite. So. I pop trink it out. Okay, trink it. Growls and kind of looks around.

Immediately looks down the paw with like a piece of glassing out of it. Oh, buddy. You're tough. So there is, you see there are two what looks to be small boats that are currently pulled up onto the shore just outside, like slightly north of this campsite. Looks like there's a tossal blanket that is somewhat dirty, like a small pack that was kind of pushed in the side, the leftover campfire, and it looks to be some sort of movement,

like something heavy had been pulled from the water into the campsite and somewhere else from within. Do you wish to continue to inspect the campsite? Do we see any, like, tracks? Are there tracks able to be left on the... Make an investigation. For this, For you, are you just inspecting four details or are you trying to track? I'm trying to see where the people went.

Okay, go ahead and make a survival check to see if you can follow any tracks. What are the people doing at the camps? I wanna check the boats. Okay, make an investigation check. You die. Survival, 18. That was, okay, that's okay.

What did you get? I got an eight. Okay, they're boats. They're made up, what do you? I just tussled the blanket aside and just. Yeah. There actually, there's two blankets that are kind of folded in there.

What's on that pack? What pack? There was a pack in the bag. Is there a pack in the bag? Yes, your low roll investigation. I have not noticed. I really missed that there was a pack there on the side of the blankets.

You go to inspect it. You check and see that there are a number of footfalls in this area clustered. I'm not my best. Spratically, it doesn't look, it looks like some of them seem to be with haste, some are dragging, like heavy, the heels are pushed in deep, and you see what looks to be a large

heavy groove that was pulled to the campsite, and has pulled further, further inland towards the tree line. What are you guys doing right now? I'm going to Mount Grog. Thanks God. It's been so long. And say, let's go scan around the tree line, friend. Fly, fly!

And I take off in my bird form, admiring the arch, appellago, but I have an intelligence of eight. and realize it's archipatica. You're such a dick. And I head for the tree line. All right, you guys, take them over the tree line. Make a perception check, both of you. And you have advantage, Grog.

I do? You're an eagle. You see everything. Giant eagle eyes. Eagle eyes. Not shit, apparently. What's the possibility that Ripley can make herself invisible? Oh, that's a one.

I legitimately have no idea. One. With my brand new awesome 20. Gotta break it in. Never gonna use again. Gotta break it in. You swoop up over the tree line

and do a couple of scans over the, while the trees, many of them are dead, you do see there are a few peaking bits of green. It looks like even in the midst of this kind of barren landscape, elements of nature have still managed to push through here and there, just little dappled peppering of green, but the canopy itself is still too thick for you to make out of the way. too thick for you to make out any details from above. That's as much as you can make out.

Petrofried trees, are they scorched? Both. It looks like a lot of it is just burnt and black, but some of it also looks like the wood itself has been dead for so long that it's become dull, gray, hardened exterior. Sound like you said petrofried? I did. Petrofried. Yeah, petrified, entire state building. Turns into stone, it's deep battered. Hamburbers. You didn't see anything groggy? Scandal, I may borrow you for a second.

I'm in the air. You can't talk to me. I have an earpiece. Scolent! Aye! I'm on a... When you get a moment, we can use you for a second down here. All right.

When you have a moment. I start taking my broom and just kind of swinging it around me to see if I hit anything. That's invisible. Okay. Did you see... When you go... crashed through for the people on the ship? I know there was one that I might have crushed underneath me that went down.

There were also others on the ship, correct? There were at least three on the ship. Head shot by Percy and caught fire. There was another that was crushed beneath your feet. Yeah. So probably dead. So, you know, there might be a couple if they're real good swimmers, they might make it.

All right. With severe burns. And psychological damage, but. A little creepy, I'm a very good job. Thanks. I will turn, I'll turn Brogg's head and point him back to the campsite. How do you turn my head?

Well, I'll just say to you, Boy, if you don't see anything, call once and we'll head back to camp. I forgot you. Can't count. He says, sir, he sees three things. Shit. All right, we'll just fly around then. Actually, instead of that, can we go 100 yards past the tree line and into more of the forest, just to see what's there? Okay.

Yeah, you coast up and begin pushing through, and down below you can see. see, you know, occasional breaks in the tree line here and there where you can, there's like heavy brush underneath and the same horrible texture of broken glass kind of jutting haphazard patterns. There are certain areas aggressively broken and some just kind of more smooth glass. It looks like it depends on at what point this event happened that turned this entire island and how much has been traversed in the time, but you can't make out much more than that from your height.

Have I got about 30 or 40 minutes left for the wings? Approximately. Yeah, I'm going to fly out over where the ship was and see if anybody is doing the dog paddle out there. Okay. You were heading off in that direction. And I'll land us at the tree line. Okay, you guys land at the train line.

As you land, Laura Percy, Achilla. You guys, I feel like there's like this kind of breeze that's been blowing through the beach since you've gotten here, starting to kind of pulse level. And the wind's starting to pick up rather suddenly. Kieliff, you were relatively sensitive to this, knowing that the sky has been relatively clear

with just bits of cloud. There's no particular reason as to why there should be a sudden gust of wind. There is no weather that is indicative of that sort of a. Also my control weather spell should still be active. Yes. So nature check, druid check, what the shit is happening, check? Nurture check.

Nurture check. Nature versus nurture check. 14. 14. This is definitely not a natural wind. And as you start to get that kind of dark feeling in the back of your head, you start noticing that some of the broken glass that kind of across the entirety of this beach being picked up by the wind

and swirling and congealing into what looks like a small whirlwind of broken glass in day. I toss Percy, his gun. We watch as the wind begins to pick up and draw other kind of separate smaller shapes, but that one central funnel continues to grow and grow like this angry, I'm gonna flip one of the boats over as a shield

and hide behind it. Okay. As a druid, would I recognize if this is like an air elemental situation? Make an intelligence check. Why are they always- With advantage because it is possibly elemental based. Natural 20.

Awesome. Two of the entities that are coming out of this wind from the sides are definitely air elemental by nature. You're very familiar with this form of physicality. You've taken on this form of physicality. However, whatever this large, strange, glass shard encompassed entity is, it's elemental in nature, but you're not sure what it is. You've not encountered something on this form, at least on this plane.

Bigger? Bigger. Badder? I would like you to roll initiative. I was going to say, well, she was talking, is it, does the wind seem strong enough that if I hopped up on my broom that I would get blown away?

Not at the moment, no. Okay, I want to try doing that thing. Oh, he's pulled it back. Oh! Look at the water. It's so beautiful. There's little boats. It looks like waves.

I know my name is Simon, and I like to do drawings. Percy has taken one of the boats and placed it as a guard. Kimbo. Kiela stands here. You guys are way off at the tree line. Just pointing and laughing.

Oh God. Oh, no. We caught it! Percy! There we go. And Vax, you're off that side. What you're seeing is this swirling torrent of broken glass with these two

elements crossing up to the sides there. Percy, you're gonna need a bigger boat. And with that, let's go ahead and roll some initiative, folks. Did I get in the air before initiative? We'll say as the wind's picking up, you can begin to get up in the air, yes. Okay.

How far are you going up? Whole 30 feet. Like 20 feet. 20 feet? All right, let's do it. This isn't great. I don't quite know what to do. I don't either. I'm assuming there hasn't been enough time

to where we've taken a short rest, correct? Nope. No. I'm not good. good you guys. All right, we'll see. There you are, on your broom. Thank you.

So, initiative rolls here. All right, and. Trink is gonna be so useful against a tornado. Yeah, he can bite the wind. Yeah, of course, really anything. I legitimately have no idea what's about to happen. Alright, so 25 to 20. 22.

22. We all, we're not all rolling. This everyone right now Even though you're not currently in the middle of the fray This is gonna gauge how soon you could get to them. Oh Okay 19 natural 20 Wow, oh you're an eagle because I have advantage on initiative roles you do Wow, so plus what's your decks? My decks is two

So 22 it's the same as me. All right 20 to 20 to 15 17 17, you got 19? Skin, back. 15 to 10. 10. 10. Yay.

I eat it. Five. Oh, no. That's okay. You're going to be the most useful one too. That's okay. It's power play right at the end. From the last fight.

It takes two, it takes both of my B-shaping forms to go elemental. It takes two. It takes two. Oh, baby. I did that too, except I went into the woods. Oh, yeah. Swirling forward, the giant Malmstrom, it's speed, rapid fast, just this torrent of razor-sharp glass bits spirals forward and threatens to engulf both Percy and Vax or Vex.

I guess I should have gone higher. It's going to mock my cover, isn't it? Yeah. Moves around it. Unfortunately, like this can swirl through the smallest. spaces. All right. So, there have that. It's going to go ahead and attempt a whirlwind. Yeah. So I need both Vex and Percy to roll strength-saving throw. Out of idle curiosity. Okay, this is not a, this is not a ranged attack on any level. I can't count this is range attack. Okay.

This is just going to suck. Well, that's nice. What? 20. Oh, that's nicer. 15. Okay. So, Percy, you go ahead and take 10 points of piercing damage as the glass shards go just splitting towards you, jamming into your exposed skin, you get underneath the boat, and it just gives you enough cover to go ahead and minimize the damage.

You, however, up above, the wind picks up and swirls around you, you're losing control of the broom. You take 20 points of piercing damage in the center of the cyclone of death. Cyclone of death. Right. And you are flung 40 feet in her own direction. That would be that way. So you are flung this far away off the broom and prone, and you fall and hit the ground. I need you to go ahead and roll a dexterity saving throw.

Actually, no, because you didn't hit anything else. You don't need to do that. So this is just going to be straight fall damage. Ah. It's an additional ten points of bludgeoning the image as you hit the ground. The wind almost knocked out of your chest, still collecting the broom in your left hand. Yeah, it's also got a thing on it that hooks to me that Percy made. Yeah, I can't fly too far. Yeah, you're still holding onto it.

It's like a surfboard. Boogie board, yeah. All right. That ends its turn. That brings us to Percy. Beginning of your turn, you are still in the world and currently, and its jagged form forces you to take... 13 points of piercing damage, just being in the maelstrom itself. 13 points? Okay. 13 points piercing damage.

Now it's your turn, Percy. That's 99. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm just doing math, which is apparently really difficult. It's been a day. Okay, out of desperation, I'm just going to, having no possible idea of what else to do. I'm just going to try and shoot at,

bits of it to see if I can dislodge anything. I don't know. Try and shatter some of the glass and yell bloody murder. Okay. I'll just take a standard shot to begin with. Are you going to stay where you are? For the moment I'm going to stay where I am, but I'm going to move. Actually, I'm too close to get a decent shot, aren't I? It will give you disadvantage on each attack because you are doing ranged in melee. Um, all right, I'm going to back off about 10 feet. Which direction? Into the water? That avoid. Yep. I want to be about waist deep if I can.

Okay, you're still technically a melee. You have to do if it has a large reach with its... Well, move five more feet you can. I'll move five more feet on the other side of the other side of... Yep. Or like knees and waist, so your movement is half. However, as you pull out of its range, a giant pseudopod of swirling... Runs towards you as an attack of opportunity on you.

That's fun. It rolled really bad. That is a 14. My AC is 18. You just weave underneath. The wind causes the water around. You just kind of splash and scatter in both directions, but you just avoid a giant blender of broken glass to the face. What are you doing? It's just reminding me of something happened this week. Okay. I'm going to take a blender of glass. It's a whole thing. I'm going to take a shot at it to see if it does anything. We need to have breakfast. No. Who the fuck? I never talk anymore. Both. Grog, you grab next. That's 23 to hit.

23 to hit hits. All right. Let's see what happens with... When you shoot a whirlwind. I'm trying to shoot a whirlwind. I don't know if this actually going to do anything. I'm not feeling very hopeful. Nine points of piercing damage.

Okay, got you. You fire and you watch as some of its form kind of takes impact some of the last breaks. It looks like it did sustain some sort of a... esoteric wound from the blast, though not as much as you would hope from your weapon. Huh. But it did to take damage. I assume none of my trickstaff stuff is going to use. That's up that makes weird. Okay. It'll work. They just take half damage to shit. Okay. I'm gonna take a couple, actually, let's.

Yeah, let's, I'm gonna take another couple shots, see what happens. I'm gonna do a sharpshooter shot. Okay. That's another 23. With the sharpshooter minus 5. It's? Yeah, that was a much better role. So that's 24 points of damage. 24.

All righty. This one still is a larger impact in the last one, but it's still kind of shooting in the middle of this swirling mass, so it's not impacting it as much as you'd hope. I'm going to take a third shot. And here we go. With the same sharpshooter, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-th. 21. 21 hits. I'll move a little cl-oh, that's nice.

25 points of damage. Jeez. It's a very good shot. And I'm now going to call over my, the earpiece. Everyone back! Giant flying glass, wind, oh God, and I'm going to take a deep breath. That's actually what I said. I'm going to take a deep breath and I'm going to dive underwater. Okay.

Oh, boy. It's gone away and dive in water. All right, shposh underneath the surface there. It is murky and dark. It's so close to the shoreline and with the black silt that washes it in that you have no visibility underneath. That's cool. All right, that brings us to Grog.

I look over at Scanlan and I'm like, Kill the wind! Yeah, let's go, let's go. Yeah, let's go. So can I hold my movement until Scanlan moves? So I'll take us both over there. my intention. You can't hold your movement. Can't help your movement. So you spend

your movement and you can hold your action to do something if you want. Scaling could probably turn you back once you get over there. I'm just going to, I'm going to take off and I'm going to go towards them and as high as I can go. Okay. Giant Eagle's speed. Hi, Grog. Being.

Bye. You couldn't come with me, right? So yeah. Grab me. So yeah, you can. You're a little over 100 feet away from them. So to 80 feet as your movement speed, with just your movement and holding your action if you wanted to, you can coast up as fast as you can. And at that apex of the end of your movement, what action are you holding? What's the trigger? I mean, I'll actually go and take my action and I'll just stop flapping my wings. My intention is to plummet.

Okay. You can use your action to then move again, like dash it and go right above it if you wanted to do that. Yeah, right above it and just, yeah, yeah. That would have worked. Because don't you guys like, once you break out of your animal form, you train's back? Well, you take damage and then whatever damage that you take that is carried over into your real form. To your 5,000 hit points.

You'll be fine. So if you take 80 hip points, you'll take, you know, the 10 that your Eagle Form took and then you'll take the other 70. I think this is a great plan. I think this is a great plan. You'll be fine. You're Grog, you got it. Suicidal.

You win 100 feet up, Travis, Grog. You could take it. You can take it. Take John Cooper. There's you with a Scanlan. Oh, I was on him. Unless you didn't want to be on him. Sure, I guess I'm taking this ride too.

If you wanted to, you could still be 100 feet back. You can fall off into the water. No, I would have gone with him. So I think you were on his back still. Sure. All right, there it is. Let's do this. So you're holding, so that's your turn.

What are you doing, Scanlon? Well, I can't do much now because if I do anything, he'll break his eagle form. Which is okay. And then I'll fall too. I'll tell you close. So I'm 100 feet up, straight up over this thing, right? 80 feet up. 80 feet up.

Okay, I kind of hang over the side, and I will lightning bolt straight down into the tornado. All righty. So with that. I feel like lightning is good because... Okay, that is 19, offer its dexterity save. What's the, what's your deced with your comb? Oh, it's 21.

Oh, it's 21. So yeah, it fails. Go ahead and roll damage on the lightning bolt. Would I get caught in that? It's right at the cusp of the water. It's also the water. I honestly, I'm just looking for an excuse to hit the glove. I'm happy to take the damage.

I would say, due to the proximity, you might take a little bit just because the conduit of the water around you. Because it's a lot of water, it's gonna dissipate pretty evenly. Pretty quick. So. 28. All right. It blasts through the storm, slamming, causing glass dust to kind of shoot up in this giant cloud around it and fall gently to the beach side. You go ahead and take Percy five points of lightning damage just being nearby in the water. Awesome. Awesome. It impacted, though not as strongly as you would have hoped. It seems almost like the lightning is somewhat in the sphere of the element of whatever this creature is. Oh, so it did not take full...

It took damage, but it didn't take full damage. It's also the heritage you've been traveling with. He uses a lot of lightning. There you go. Is that end your turn, skinland? Or you want to move or... Yeah, I mean, I don't want to move. I always inspire Grog.

He's the only one in your shot, so yes. I will sing in his ear, fly like an eagle to the sea. I like an eagle. Don't drop me. All right, go ahead and take your detent inspiration. All righty. Ending Scammon's turn, Vax, you're up.

How far away did I get? You're probably, you just took off when this happened or heard that, so you'd be at your full movement away from it, which was 60 feet. 60, yeah. At this point, haste has worn off. So you're 60 feet away, it would take you your full movement. You could swoop back and get right in the front. Yeah, go again.

Yes, then I would like to fly straight at the mail store. And stab the whirlwind. So I would like to do that. With your wings, you're basically gonna like just dive bomb and through and chest burst out the other side of this whirlwind. Yeah. It's like the, we'll see you'll end up there. It's like a shrink it right next to it.

And I will get sneak attack damage and I would like to use, oh good God, divine slight on the attack. Ooh, what is? What's that all about? I don't know what it is. Hold divine spite until you hit. You don't have to say you're using it until you confirm hit. Well, that's a 20, that's a 30.

That's so close to a one. Yeah, we went one. 19. Yeah, that'll hit. All right. So we start with a one and then we add these. One, this is two, three, four, nine, and 15, 20, 25, 28, plus divine smites, this is the first.

divine smites, this is the first time I've ever done it, is 2D8. What did I just get up to? 28, 28, thank you. Divine smites, 28 is to 30. 38. 38. Nice. As your wings out, you know, bullet bird form Vax,

you swoop down and punch straight through the back of this mousroom. You see its form briefly kind of fluctuate and have a hard time holding itself together as you slam into the beach sand and glass right over next to Trinket, sending a cloud out in front of you that kind of slowly comes down like a wave on the opposite side. You kind of stand there for a second,

look back over and Trinket, just kind of licks you right up on the side of your face, making them- Very cool moment, maybe not as cool to very end, but still pretty cool overall. Cool, do you want to do anything else? That was, so I use movement to get there. You use that. You use it to get there, use an attack, go through.

I want to swipe again because I've got the button. this be a throw because right now just the angle you had to come through to punch through it you would have landed about 15 feet from it I love it that is that is that is 20 24 yeah 24 so you land and then throw the other dagger back at that so excited by the divine smite that's that and that is just a little bity two plus six is eight and I forgot to add my bonus to the dagger before so you can make that 14 for a total nice so after you punch through you can see the the burst through with this kind of flash of vibrant radiant energy that kind of sparks through its internal form,

a sort of glow that's reminiscent of what you've seen from Pike spells before, but with more of a grayer and less yellow color to it. Throwing behind him with a secondary dagger, it plunges into the world, and then you see some sparks inside as it kind of clashes with the different broken pieces of glass, and then eventually returns to your hand. I believe that ends your turn. I'm a real paladin. Now, the two other elements are going to go. Oh, no, there's two more. Yep. This one's going to flank up behind Keeleth. This is going to flink up behind.

Glass as well? No, these are just actual Aerolem metals. There is some glass being pulled up in their form as they go, but it's not quite the maelstrom in the center that's kind of drawing everything into it. Tight, tight, tight. That's going to be two slam attacks against you, Keelith, and two slam attacks against you, Vax.

Yeah. Against Keelith, that is 21. Yeah, that hits. And 19. That also hits. Okay. Disavantage against me. Yes. That is 12. And the other is 12. Roll two fours in a row on that.

Sorry, Charlie. So the elemental comes up and swings its giant whirl in like fists towards you. You duck under one and then leap over at the second one, landing back on your place in the beach. Keeleth, unfortunately, looking at the focus of this and trying to ascertain the nature what these creatures are and how you could possibly control or bend it. Oh, hey, Gary, what's up?

Oh, man. We're from behind, you get slammed. Ellen. God damn it, Gary, you're always a dick. I guess we're not bowling in all. Ficking damage. But it's even like 10 years. 14? Okay.

And 13 points of bludgeoning damage. So 27 total. 27. Is that a hit point ring? Yeah. That's badass. All right, that ends their turn now. Vax, you're up.

I got it, you're kind of ground into the sand right now, kind of dug a few inches into it from the impact of your shoulder and left a groove on the beach. There's glass sticking into your shoulder and you're like, ah. I stand up for my movement. Half your movement. Okay.

So you still have 15 more feet, you can move. Hunters mark that motherfucker. Yeah. That's it. Big one? But by the time you see damage. All right. And then I'm gonna shoot him twice with Fenthras,

which is the first time I've actually shot a real arrow. Yay! Do it. Okay, please hit. Just breaks in half. Super old, well. Doesn't work. It's dry rodded. On the first hit. Yeah. Natural one on the second, motherfucker. 16. That's a neutral one is. Natural one is misses, yeah.

Cool. That's awesome. Great. So wait. That's a D8 plus a D4 for lightning. Jesus. Wait, 10% is... It's 20. So much math. I know. That's 23. 23 points of damage with one arrow.

That's really nice. Yeah. It would have been better. That's a vestige for you. Also, don't forget that... Oh, that's... Oh, that's... Four of them is lightning.

Right, right. Yeah. Four was like... So, actually, that would be halved. So it would be 21. Now. 21 points of damage. Also...

When you take the attack action, now you already use your bonus actions. Yeah. to do the hunter's mark. Never mind. What? I was gonna say having Trigit next to it, but I realized you use your bonus action to.

Yeah, I'm establishing that and then Trigget can do it. Right, okay, cool. Can I use the rest of my movement to get back up on the broom and go up in the room and go up in the room? And you manage to go ahead and get 30 feet in the air this time, maybe? I'll say due to the nature of this, no, not quite. You can get 20. Okay.

Stent of your ascension right now. Boy, there you go. All right, that ends your turn. Kila. Okay. So, not feeling great about this one. This is like your shit, so let's go. You know, let's.

Put up or shut up, Keel. I mean, I could try and talk to him, but that never goes well. Let's be real. So I'm going to cast wind wall. Okay. So, okay, here's my question. I'm having a hard time seeing, so help me.

That's me. That's who's, that's, that's. Vax. The Vax is here with Trinket. Elemental, Elemental, and the giant glass mausrum. Okay. I have a 50-foot one wall that I can shape whichever way I want. Yep.

So what I want to do is try and loop us all in and kind of go around Jesus. Kind of go around this way. Yeah. I go around Jesus. Like a circle almost? Yes, like a semicircle starting with this guy going this way, 50B. Okay.

So like a wind wall. Starting, because it can go over top of guys. Yeah. So starting like 50 feet going around this way. Jesus take the wheel. Try on a circle this way? The other way, but yeah. I mean, it's 50 feet.

It'll work. I guess it doesn't ultimately matter. What do you try to, what shape do you want with the wind wall? A circle. A circle like this? I just want to block the three guys out with my 50 feet. I see. I want to go over top of them.

Right. And keep us nice and safe and comfy. in a wind basket. So over top of them. Wind basket. Completely around you guys? Hashtag wind basket. Yeah.

Completely around you? Whatever 50 feet will cover. Pretty sure. That's about the length right there. Okay, well, can I, because there's a little overlap. So can I, like, start it with this guy and then go around to where that extra couple feet goes to this guy? I mean, it'll hit all three of them. Okay.

That's what I care about. Yeah. So you reach down. Concentrate, slam your hand on the ground, and as you do, the wind picks up out of the dust in the dirt and the glass and begins to cause another torrent of chaos around you. This one controlled by you, slamming into the other ones.

They have to make a strength saving throw. Say that's a big tornado. I can make a bigger one! What's your spell DC again? 19. 19. So this is strength saving throw. 18, fail for the maelstrom. And fail, and fail, fail for all of them.

Yay! So that's 3D8 bludgeoning damage. Uh-huh. And they should be gaseous forms, if I'm not mistaken, which means they can't move through it. Correct. So right now they're all currently locked in the wind wall, right? That's right there!

Yep. That's cool. I'm done. I'm excited. That's my thing. That's the thing that you do. That's all I do. Roll damage. That's true.

Oh, roll damage. Oh, sorry. 3D8. Nature. Nature. Am I a built for this fight? Oh, that's okay. It's okay.

It's 15 damage. Not great. 15 feet hot. So how much is it total? 13 total. So how much is it total? 13 total. Basically.

All right, cool. Finishes your turn, Keelith. You staying where you are? Can I now shift away from the guy? I mean, it'll still get into time of opportunity as soon as you break it from combat. Is he technically grappled? No, not grappled. grappled. You just kind of...

You can't move through it. He can't move through. What's you gonna do? Well, like fighting to keep themselves physically implacent together as the wind world is just tearing them apart. I'll just turn to him and be like, let's do the mirror game, man. Do the mirror game? Yeah? Yeah? And that's it. All right.

The Maelstrom right now, cannot pass through the wall. So it is going to move away from it, shifting over to where Percy is currently underwater. Oh, God. Awesome. As you're hiding down, this whirlpool begins to tear into it and all the water around you was suddenly just jettisoned from all sides. You no longer submerged as you're lifted up. Would that actually, okay, fine. I was like, like, in theory, if there's like a storm, you go underwater. You've seen Shark Nato. Oh, magic wins. It's extremely forceful, angry, magical elemental tornado of death and hatred. This is F5 Bill Coleman tornadoes.

Are you sure dragons are real? I am absolutely sure dragons are real. I've killed two of them. Percy, we've got cows. That's gonna, first off. Low glass tornado ever seen. It does get its whirlwind recharge, but it's not gonna use it.

It's going to slam attack you twice, Percy. That's fine. Saving his whirlwind attack. Being, let's see. Yeah, it has advantage on attack rules again. against you because you are currently prone in the sand. Yep. That's gonna be 22.

Oh, that hits. All right, and the second slam attack is gonna be 31. Oh, wow, yeah. No, that's somehow, that just barely hits, but that definitely. All right, so the first attack is gonna be 28 points of piercing damage. Yeah, no, that's been.

From out on top, just slamming you, your face actually goes right down back into the muck with a sucking sound, as you feel like someone's grinding 100-bush blades into the back of your skull, then it releases. Yeah, comes down a second time for, 10, 13, 22 points of piercing damage. Oh, how many hit points do you start with, Percy?

120. So offensive. I'm still at 99. I am not doing well, but I am alive. You'll reach triple digits someday. Yeah, I'll roll a one on my next level. But you'll be there. Let me see what my Constitution bonus is.

Oh, it's nothing. Is now your turn, Percival? At the beginning of the turn, as you are in its jagged form radius, you take, oh, double ones. Seven points appears to damage. Because he's in its what? He starts his turn within the center of its form. So stay out of there.

Even just being in its form is terrible. It's like one of those money grab booths, instead of money. It's just pain. It's just lots and lots of pain. pain and lack of hit points. Yeah, you just. So I also assume it gets an attack of opportunity on me

if I leave its, it does. Its radius of course. Worse it does. How did it, okay, and it can break away from the wall, just can't pass through it. Can't pass through it earlier. Okay. Sorry, you kind of left our puddle.

Oh no, I definitely like, I definitely, okay, the first thing I'm gonna do is burn a bonus, bonus heel. I've got a heel that I can. do, so I'm just going to heal myself a little bit, so I'm not quite as close to death. So let's just add 12 points. That's nice.

It's slightly better than before. All right, I'm going to, oh, bugger. I'm gonna pull my sword and technically speaking, I'm perfectly fine to just go hack and slash on this thing right now, right? You see you stand up using half your movement? Looks for me. I'm to stand up using half my movement

and just start slashing at it like nobody's business. Go for it. It is a magical sword, so. It is a magical sword. Thank you for reminding me. I'm just gonna roll three at a time just to make life a little easier. That's 21, 22, and 23. All hit, go to all damage.

You hit so easily. You know why I hit easily? Because I do very little actual damage without. It doesn't count as a dragon, does it? Oh, look at that. They're all the same. Yep, yep. She roll it 666?

13. I rolled 666. Roll of the Beast. That's 13. 26. 13. 26. 36. 39 points of damage. Okay. Where lack? How do you want to do this? Oh!

You killed the wind. From the inside. From the inside. I'm going to just, like, has anyone seen this terrible movie called Rob Roy? Oh, yes. Okay. I'm just going to start just, just condes. ducting it and just spinning and slashing

and then just drop it into the bloody ground. Okay, you guys watch as suddenly the Maelstrom begins to become this kind of uneasy torrent holding its form together. You start seeing slashes and whirls of metal and fleeing of blade-like action with the inside of its form before all of a sudden there's a burst of glass and dust

that then kind of rains to the ground as the water rushes into the space and you just see there standing, damp cut, all these small wounds across his face and lines of blood dripping down the sides. Percy, with the blade jammed into the beach, one hand up in the air as the water just kind of up to his shoulders and he slowly stands up in place.

I'm going to slowly start making my way with great determination and not particularly much speed. I'm going to hobble my way towards the next one of those bastards. Ow, ow, ow, ow. That's about as far as you can get there. Because on land, it's considered rough terrain. Oh, yeah. Or you can go full speed, but you'll take damage for every five.

Every five feet you move full speed. Glass sucks. All right, that ends Percy's turn. Grog, you're up. All right, since he killed a big one, can I floor down to the one that's right next to Bax? Yes, you can. With Scanlan on me booze.

Yeah, right next to it. Now, if I wanted him, if hopefully I wanted him to lift the form, would I hold my action until... Yes. Yes, I want to do that. So holding your attacks, until the form is lifted. Yes. Totally vibe.

I want to land right next to him. Like right, like right behind him. You're a bird. Totally. Okay. All right. That ends your turn, except for your held action. What are you doing, Sam? Me. Oh, I have to do something now?

Yeah, it's your turn. I will do, I will do Bigby's hand! And it's a concentration spell, so polymorph would drop or frog. Where is Bigby's hand going? Right on the guy who's, right in front of us. Pff.

Uh, let's see. Before you continue that, as soon as BB's hand appears, the eagle form vanishes and grog, you come out with your axes and your hands, angry. Surprise, bitches! Not raging, unfortunately, but you do get your attacks. Surprise, gents. You're just not raging. Just go ahead and take your two attacks.

Oh, woohoo! I would like to make them reckless attacks. That's fine. These are regular and not rage. Yeah, regular. All right, that's not great. I say I'm going to have to kill you, dear boy. That's a 15.

15 the first one total yeah no though that hits actually who's going that just barely hits okay right so I roll the other one around I know no because it's just one attack right no two attacks 24 it's so two hits on it yes strong yes yes yes yeah make it make it more bitch bitch math is hard that's a 16 plus blood X six so 22 the first hit all right working it out I'm working it out that's that right now that's the 14 another six for 20 all right four chronic necrotic on the left of the yeah right all right awesome

and this is this is not adding your rage damage no right yeah cool so that finishes your two strikes whack whack Scanlan you have your bigbie's hand up what are you gonna do do it look like hitting it hurt it yeah Okay, well then I'll punch it. I'll punch it in its wind face. There you do, right, in its wind fucking face. Yeah. All right, go ahead and attack using your melee spell attack.

Just roll at your spell attack bonus. Got a futz roll. I need a judge here. I'm calling it fudged. Okay. Did I have a bonus action or do I use it to hit? You can't hold a bonus action that was on your turn. Nine plus 11, 20.

20, no, 20 hits, totally. So yeah, go ahead and roll. Roll, let's see. I punch him. 4 D8, forced damage. Wow. You need some D8, so you cool. 18.

Ooh. Nice. Kill it. So between Grog's attacks and the giant fist, slamming into the side of the elemental, you can see it gets slammed into the dust, causing this push, and it begins to lift itself up, causing this almost jackal antarine-like angry face to appear

in this whirlwind. But it's having a hard time keeping it. its form together, it begins to kind of glance about for some sort of form of escape. Scanlon, do you want to move on your turn at all? I will inspire Vax. With the selection of the ultimate dad jokes. Oh my God. I am so ready.

I am so ready for this. A random page. Hit me, hit me. A conductor once told me that a euphonium is Latin for, you're a fraud. What? Oh, you know. Oh, I get it. I get it.

That was a warm-up. Oh, no. What's the name in the movie about the cow von Trot family? The Sound of Musick. All right, take your inspiration. Subtract it for me instead. It's 1D. He never gives me inspiration that on.

1D10. Oh, you fellow bad. Yeah, yeah. Did your inspiration go up last level or is the next one? No, well, it's been on D10 for a while. Right. I'm trying to remember. I think it's next level it goes up.

Oh, you haven't leveled up yet. We're still a little behind you at 14. Wow. Double check it for you. Yeah, next level becomes equal. For level Elitus for like two more games. Basically. All right, just scouts, you're up.

Rules question, yes. Normally when I attack one character, one attack gets sneak attack, but can I sneak attack the one behind me and attack the other one that's by Kieleth? I've got friends around both. You can attack them both, but you only can sneak attack once per round. Okay.

And then I'm going to shank backwards to the one behind me. All right. And it's flanked. There's four of us around it. So advantage on this one. Well, let's go ahead and look at that wind wall. Okay. Oh, okay.

Let's take a look at the wind wall. It should only affect ranged attacks. It should only affect ranger to attacks and gaseous creatures. Because I kind of double check to that. Honestly, I'm quite often a gaseous creature. You are definitely, you are practically, you are practically in my textbook definition

of the gashes. Yeah, it won't have much of effect You're fine. Just making sure. All right. So then that's a... So forcing your hand through it. 23. 23 hits. Okay.

All right. Are you sneak attack this one or the other one? This one. Okay. Three plus... Four. Seven. Well, 16.

Muppet lamp. 28 on that one. Oh, man. 28? Ah! Festigal. I was sending it on that cell. As you stab through, the form dissipates upon impact.

I was hoping that would happen. And then I'm going to dive and roll around, Kieluth, and stab the next one. Alrighty. And that is. As you throw your dagger, it does catch the wind wall. It gets flung out of the way. No, I meant to run that way.

Oh, you want to run this way. Can I run through it? Okay. So you can move up to there. Yeah, that you can. CVS. And that was a 23 to hit. 23 does hit.

Which is a big seven. Seven points of damage to it. All right. Yeah, so you go, one is destroyed. You rush forward, stab the other one. It's hard to push through the wind wall to even get to its form. You do manage to make some sort of purchase. It takes some damage. That ends your turn. It is now its turn. It moves into both of your spaces now. We'll say kind of loosely up against the two of you there. And it's going to push into a whirlwind. Uncomfortable. Yeah, I can.

He's in the, he's still in the... It can move through the wind? The wind wall. The wind wall? It can fly. up and over. That's 90 speed. Holy crap. Keep going. I'm just gonna cross-reference that.

Keep going. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Because the wind wall itself, if I recall. I'm just checking. Go check, go check, go check. Keep on. I'm gonna check fine. I'm gonna check now before I do all these rolls.

Oh boy. It is 15 feet high. All right, yep. Dueling dictionaries. I like that this is literally becomes the game of dueling dictionaries. It's 15 feet high. You're correct.

All right, so as it swarms the fence. He does. A little trespasser. And swirls around in a whirlwind. Carved wire. I need both of you guys to make strength-saving throws. Strength. Who me?

Damn it. Yeah. Damn it, man. What? Strength. You have inspiration. I'm going to use luck. Okay.

Inspirate. Oh, screw you. Inspiration. You die. I mean, thank you for it. But still, screw you. I'm going to use my inspiration. Yeah, do it.

Top of that. Go away. Oh, yeah. 16? 16 and. 19. Both of you guys succeed, so you take half to. Hey.

Damn it, Gil. God damn it, Gil. Mine's been rocking. I don't know what you're probably. Of course it has, you're an anomaly. How much damage is that? You both take six points of bludgeoning damage.

Six. Okay, I'm dead. And you hold your ground. It doesn't fling you about. It's not strong enough. It's wind. It's smaller form. I'm able to push both of you entirely off your feet. So, well,

Well done. That ends its turn. Vex you're up. Can I fly over it so that I can shoot down onto it? You can actually. All right. Then as my bonus action, I'm going to have Trinket run up and attack it. Whoa. Trinket attack something? All righty. So you fly up enough where you have a view over the wind wall itself and take two shots. And as a bonus action, we'll trinket will rush up. Yeah. Cool. It's going to bite it. That's cool.

Bite the wind. It's like a dog and a water hose. 26 hits. Second two. 14 hit points for Tricket. 14. So that was Tricket attack? Yeah. Nice.

So 14 points damage from Trinket. Bushing, forward, and growling and biting through the middle of it. Mouthful of glass. It's not fun, but it does some damage. Little bit D. Geez, the wheeves. 17 for my hit.

Hits? And then that's the next one. Higher. Okay, yeah. So two hits, go ahead on an image. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. That's a lot of math.

I know. 20 points for the first one. Nice. And that, oh, plus sneak attack. 24 points, two of those are lightning. Nice. And then 12, 14. 14 and then, oh, I don't get that at that time.

14 points for the second one. Gotcha, cool. All right. So above releasing two arrows that you see you, spark as they were released from the boat impacting into it. You see Trinket just tear into its form. Every now then you see what looks to be an arm of Vax swing through and Keel is trying to push her way out of the elemental right now. It's just this kind of mix of swirling dirt and wind. But it's seemingly being worn down. The speed in which it's swirling in its space is beginning to slow. And images within its form are getting easier and easier to see. That brings us back to the top, Percival.

How far away is it? That's about 35 feet from you. Come on a wind killer. God, I'm just going to, I'm not even going to, I'm just going to pull out the gun and just start laying waste to it. Let's do, I'm going to reload and take, take two shots with the sharpshooter.

Okay. No, no, no, that just jinxes it. Oh, no, no. See, that's better. Look at that. That's lovely. 18, 99. 26 and 23. He's a mutant.

I don't roll damage? It's not right. Mutant. Somewhere else in the universe, the balance is going. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Me, I missed, I rolled a one. We wonder why there's the West Nile virus. Wow.

You got a roll. Yes, yeah. Thanks, Tal. Thanks, this is right. Thanks, Obama. 46 points of piercing, of piercing damage. 46 total? Yes.

These are all the sharpshooter, right? There were two shots of sharpshooter, which is a base of 16 times two, So that's 32 plus I rolled a natural 10 on that, which pushes to 42 plus a four, so 46. So 46? Is that all? Fuck it.

To tweak. Even halved from the impact, you managed to blast the creature its form hitting the wind wall and scattering against it, no longer physically able to hold its form. They're the elemental dissipating into the sky. Personal. He who breaks wind.

Ha ha ha ha ha. All right. That was for you. Now I feel guilty, guys. As you all take a moment to kind of like catch your breath and look around, everyone roll a perception check. Natural 20. Yay.

Is there any lingering? Natural 20. Natural one. Boopoo. Boo-beo. I'm cleaning my gun. I'm not even looking. Wow.

The 220's 2-1 so far. 15, right in the middle. The imbalance. 15. Okay. You guys see a moment and kind of glance around, it appears that whatever disturbed wind brought this sudden attack on has dissipated, and the creatures you've slaughtered have kind of brought this calm stillness to the beach.

All you can hear around you is the occasional of the water up on the shore does not appear that there is any immediate danger on the beach. I suddenly remember the letters that I stole from the ship, and I say, Percival! And I pull them out. Thank you. I'm just going to quick. I'm not giving them to you.

I'm looking at them with you. Oh. They are what appeared to be sketches and designs, one of which is of a more refined pepper box. Okay, upon looking at it. them, I don't get it, and I hand them to them. Okay. There are...

Just a cursory look at. You glance through. There are other variations of retort, the pistol that she had before. You also see a few sketches, very complete sketches of kind of a bad news rebuild. Oh, boy. Not as good even looking at it.

The design, you can see a few faults in it that prevent it from being as powerful as what you've created, but nevertheless, it is a fairly high-powered rifle-like weapon. You do see beneath him as well. You see notes of what looks like five constructed, and then it's erased two on hand. Okay. I'm putting this away, and not thinking about this for a little while.

It's like a ledger keeping tabs of each thing that she's created. That was for bad news. I believe that was for bad. Maybe it was either bad. No, it's the pepper box, I believe. I'm going to take a little run towards the water and then shoot out and do what I was trying to do before. Okay. Scanlan, can you use your very, very delicate sword

and put some very, very gentle, difficult to see holes in both of these boats? Sure. Sure. I'm a master swordsman. I draw my blade. Talk to me, baby. Talk to me, goose. As you say baby, your voice has this kind of baby,

this low, like tuning fork vibration hits the blade. laid. As you begin to just go nuts on the ship, you guys watch as splinters of wood that was not what I had in my. I'm just stabbing. Are we kidding boats? Straight, delicate stabbing. Oh, great. Yes, yes. A couple. You put quite a number of pincushion like blows to the exterior of the ship's found. Neither of these will last much in the water. Did we, did we actually end up searching the boats for everything? Or did we not end up searching You did. You were about to. You were about to. I was about to before this happened. Wait, if if those elementals that we just fought,

Were they left by Ripley? Was it a trap? Did we activate a trap? Is she close by? She can't have gotten far. It looks like she dragged whatever she found further into the island. Can I call Trinket over and then look at the tracks

and see if he smells anybody and see where they took everything? Yeah, go and make an investigation. Does anyone else want to take a short rest? Yes. Do we have time? No, we don't have time. Where's she going? Water looks awesome.

What if she's teleporting? out of here. There's a telephone. 15 for me. Should I roll for Trinket, too, for his smell perception? Yeah. I need to heal. Well, this is an investigation. Oh, okay, but Trinket's got, I was seeing if he could catch their scent. Yeah, then roll up perception for for Trinquet. He's got advantage on smell. 25. As you're kind of looking about, you see the tracks. You also see in some of the grooves where some of this heavy object was being dragged. You see one portion where it's dragged up or seemed to have been dragged up onto a kind of

a shelf, like a very small six-inch shelf of glass, and you can see what appears to be a scrape and some splinters of wood. Whatever was being dragged appears to have been wooden, and part of it was very, very faintly damaged when it was dragged up onto the shelf. So you know you're looking for something that appears to be made of wood.

The wood slivers, as you look at them, they're a little swollen and damp. Waterlot, Trish. So whatever these were, they were underwater for a period of time. Trinket goes and kind of like leans the head forward towards the jungle. Right. You know you also have that dog.

They can maybe team up and have extra strong smell perception, but. Truth. Or we can save it. I don't know why I'm saying this, but I trust Trinket. So you want to keep the dog for later. Yes. Okay. Does anyone, should I heal you person?

That would be lovely. I'm bleeding over everything. Oh, yeah, I'll do one too. Heal his face, his face is cut up, I say over there. I mean, I'm not so kind of you to say. It's better that way. I'll heal everything but his face. Let's see here.

Do you have a strong heel? No, I'm terrible. It's tiny. I'll do a. It's not tiny. It's what you do with it. I'll do a second level. Oh, thank you. And I'll just touch your face

so I can heal a little glass shell body things. Oh, thank it. Ow. Blachal. I will do a second level healing word as well. Okay. Which is what, 2D4?

2D4 plus six. That's nine. Nine is good. I'm a little better. 17 for me. Thank you. That's a. Oh wait, before we trudge off into the jungle,

didn't you get a shit ton of potions? Can you hand those out please? Yeah, yeah, totally. Huh. Am I seeing anything out? on the water. This ship is sunk. Gone. No surveillance. You do not see anybody currently swimming in the water.

Yeah. You can make a perception check. At best they've headed to the air. It's a tough swim. 22. Yeah. Looking about, but you can, you can see the bits of the reef that are slightly visible through the murky water surface here in the bay.

But the ship is gone. You can see bits of floating broken wood from the impact of the ship. It's probably under driftwood on the beach itself. No sign of any survivors. All right, I'll shoot back. You do see two figures out towards it that are just kind of floating in the water face down. Oh yeah?

Check them for traps. I'm gonna go drag them back. Huh? I'm gonna drag them back. Okay, you're not gonna be able to drag both of them with the wings. But one I can? One you could, yeah.

I will drag one back. Oh, you're gonna drag my shame into shore? Yeah. Do you need any sense? Do you mean your pride? your pride. I would, I would. So you grab one, and it's hard, you can barely get any lift, but you can basically,

especially since he's soaked the water, it's an extra weight. So you're like, I just stay close to the surface of the water. Yeah, I will ask you to go ahead and make an athletics check. All right. Scanan, take a greater and a regular healing potion. Thank you. Let's he take a greater and a regular. Just an 11.

11, you're barely able to keep from being dragging to the water. Give them to other people who can't heal themselves. And it takes you a while to get there because you're having to basically drag it. He doesn't ever actually leave the water. You're kind of pulling him through it as you go. It takes you about 15 minutes to get him into shore. That's 65.

I'm gonna imagine that my wings kind of balf out soon after that. Yeah, you're getting pretty close to the end of your time. So I'm gonna search him for this. I'll give you a lever. He's dead, yeah? Yes. So make an investigation check. You guys watches Vax swings with the wings, dragging a water log seemingly unconscious or dead body,

throws it onto the beach and against rifling through the pockets. Oh, what you find. That is 22. 22. You find 145 gold pieces. Oh, hello. It's the first gold I've had in ages. You find a spyglass.

Really? And you find two small kind of reddish purple stones that are perfectly spherical in the pocket. What is all about? They were playing marbles. Okay. That's all you find. What's that thingy pointing to the spyglass?

That's a, you know what that is. Percival, what is that? That's one of those, the spyglass, I assume. Yes, here, you can look through and you can see that everything is very, very far away. I look small now, everything looks tiny. Just like you, thank you.

Oh my. So wait, what are the two marbles? That I've got in my pocket. He's got in his pocket? Oh, I thought that's what you passed over. My bad. Actually. I think that would be great on the broom.

I think that's a good idea. What is that thing? I'm going to keep this. Spike glass? Is it that for looking through? Do you have one of those on your big bad news? I do. It's not quite as powerful as that.

Although that is an interesting idea. Can I look through it? Ooh, can I fly up in the air and look through it? Yeah. Down to the ground? See what I see. You fly up. Can you have something perception check?

I take the two small stains. Do I get advantage because of the spyglass? The DC will change based on what you're looking for. I take the two small stones and I look over it, Percival and Keelard go. What are there? Those look valuable to you. They look like-

They look like rocks. They look like if you, I mean you have a closer look of the canopy of this jungle. You basically make up the same details as the gogged earlier. There are bits of green, there are bits of live tree here and there.

Most of it's just dark. What if I follow from where the path of the, that I saw them dragging and I follow through the trees I see in like a path inward from there? You see from this distance, there is occasionally what looks to be a break in the jungle or a path that could be taken that isn't completely overgrown and too thick to walk through.

But that's all you can make out from this distance. I'll do. I'm examining one of the red rocks. Does it look like anything? The red circles fears. It looks almost like a polished red quartz. Imperfect, you can see kind of, would look almost like texture cracks

or just layers of some sort of a natural forming quartz-like material in the inside. So it's like a stone, it's pretty. It's like a larger marble of stone. Are the magic? Probably. Can we arcane them? Arcane check?

I'll take a look at these. Yeah. For Arcana. You can, yeah, make an arcana check. No, grove, don't need anything. Oh, you can have it. Oh, 19 plus stuff, plus seven. Yeah, these don't get used too often.

They're usually used more in emergency nautical circumstances or used as a means of gaining attention for certain certain. Oh, they're flares? It's called a flare stone. And they're essentially they're impacted hard and then thrown high and they turn into a flamethr. Is that what we saw? That's what you saw above the ships.

Oh, so he wasn't a magic user. That's cool. Well, he was because he was starting a spell. They're flares. Ooh. Who wants them? No, pass that back. That's fine.

We should spread them out. They should, and everyone should not have. I take the purple one. You take the one. Why do I take them both? You've got the broom. You can tell them. You need one and someone else.

Just take one. I keep. Ah, no. I'll keep the purple one. I'll take the other one. Let the twins, hang them. It was the other ones who'll get separated. That was the perfect interaction.

Brog remembers that. Yeah. It's a way to call for help, Grog. I heard you could put these up your life. I don't think you're gonna need it very often. I'll take off sullingly towards the trees. I'm gonna follow. All right. He's got the right idea.

Trinquet catches up to you, and like Trinquet's kind of running alongside you, following the smell. You guys watch, is everyone getting... I'm going. Yeah. Okay, all right. You guys push forward, reaching the tree line, and then pushing into the jungle itself.

Oh, I get you more greater. The smell of the saltwater air gives way to now the smell of ash in burnt forest, but old, old, very faint. It's less of a recent burn and more just an ever-present scent of dead brush. You do catch the occasional sour smell of some sort of a tropical flower, and you do see bursts of ground brush and living plant life

that has kind of pushed through the glass and is slowly kind of retaking the island over time. Can I keep an eye out for that? flower, that flower? Yeah, and you see it a few times. It has kind of a yellowish, like a milky white color to it, and it has a vibrant purple stamen

that kind of protrudes from it. And it gives, it's almost like a sour milk type smell. It's not very pleasant. I grab a few, put them in my peg. Okay. You continue pushing it through the petrovoid forests. You guys pick up, and Trinket picks up as well, as you're pushing on for,

for another 150 feet or so, you start noticing broken branches. You see little elements that you're used to in tracking movement from individuals. You can see what are sheer signs of heavy footfalls. Occasionally, what looks to be, another grinding along the ground. It looks like whatever was being dragged

has now been seemingly picked up or is now leaving less of an impact through. It has more people now working towards moving it. So that groove is subtly vanishing as it progresses, but you do see signs of, people pushing through the jungle at a rapid pace. But the twins quietly in the lead? Right now it's grog and trinkin in the lead.

Do you, you guys want to change up a marching order for this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, buddy, bud, you're very big and large and amazing. Could I, what do you want? He wants one of those balls to put in his butt. Uh, I give him a small piece of glass from the ground and I put in his hand and then I run up ahead. I'll grab his collar, I'll pull him back. Try. Try, buddy.

Uh. Huh. Huh. Give me a dexterity check. I'll make a, make a strength check or an athletics check, Grog? I have an intelligence check for the stand. You make an acrobatics check. All right.

Acromatics. Yeah, that's fine. Grog, you still-25. 30. You still have inspiration, grove. Oh, I do! Oh! 35.

Oh! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm going to use luck. Oh, jean. No, didn't you? You dart forward, grinning as you just left them behind and all of a sudden you feel your hood go,

choked you from behind as Grog is just holding it and pulls you back to him. What is your rush? Fine, take the lead. I'm keeping the stone, dick. Bye. Right this way, stealthy motherfucker. I start stomping extra loud as I want.

No, Gron, please don't stop. Really making, like, little bits of salt and pepper beneath my feet. The glass is cracking and brinked. breaking when he his foot falls. That's not okay. I'm specifically, I wanna keep like, just conscious, I just had a terror,

I just had this weird thought. I just wanna. Do I smell anything? Do I taste anything in the air? Is there minerals or any kind of, I had this horrifying notion that is, are there any signs that this island has even been vaguely inhabited at all recently?

Are, like how many people does it feel like, are here, and is there possibly... Make an intelligence check. See if you're going where I'm going on this. A bunch of British boys. I second that question. Let's go... 12 straight.

It's hard to tell. From the beach, the only sign of any sort of activity that has been washed away by the elements was the campsite that you saw, and that was relatively fresh. And you gather probably from the rather rapid rate of rainfall that storms through this area that a lot of any sign would be washed away over time.

However, you guys flew over in the sky ship and as you cased the island, you did not see any pockets with villages, you didn't see areas of the jungle that have been harvested for resources. I'm going to keep my senses aware as possible for the signs of a mining operation. Okay. And can I keep my senses aware for like aboriginals of the island?

Okay. So you guys are just keeping, tabs on anything around me, there might be a sign. I'm keeping my senses aware for if Ripley's invisible and is around us. Okay. I am looking for literally nothing. And you'll find it.

I will guess in this point, one, everyone roll a stealth check if you're stealthing forward. I'm looking for rabbits. The last rabbit. Wow, no. Natural 20. Wow. Hey, 17.

14. Seven. 25. 28. All right. The half elves catch up on this. As you're making your way towards this knotted section of the jungle. Oh, this is the stealth check, right?

Yeah. You guys are pushing forward quiet. You guys, without a single touch of sound, a little bit from Scanlan, but as the bulk, you guys managed to stop him and as a group push forward, you imagine fairly unseen. It's pretty proud of Fox Machina.

Drag especially, being the one that stomped forward. You continue to push forward. Everyone make a perception check. All right, new dice. Three. Ten. 22. 26.

Ooh. 30. Six. Half elves, once again, coming through with the skill checks. Yeah, team half. You guys being quiet and being careful and methodical and pushing past brush without damaging anything, Vex keeping an eye on signs of movement. And the more you push forward, you start seeing some of the branches that are broken have less dust or just general settling material

on him. You're coming upon something relatively recent. Bruchin? Yes. Is the ground still covered in glass? There are bits of dried brush, but there is still a very glass-based floor here. Is it like broken glass or smooth glass? There are sections of it that are smooth. There are sections that are broken. You can see the further in you get, the less that it appears to be a jagged broken

experience. But it is, it does vary depending. But we can navigate. You can navigate through carefully as you move. And does the vegetation seem to be getting thicker? It's pretty thick. There's small breaks here and there, but for the most part, like I said, there aren't carved paths through the jungle here. There's just kind of natural clearings and you guys have to kind of find your way through. Sometimes you get tight and you have to move around some of the larger trees, but you're able to navigate without a huge issue. It's not terribly choked off. The half-elves, as you guys are quietly pulling forward,

you pick up on what sounds like whispers, hushed voices, at least. What do you do? I want to take out. I have a couple vials of poison. Can I dip, like, a few arrows in the poison? Sure. Does that make poison arrows?

The arrows would be poison, yes. Okay. I- I will come back, I promise. Do you want me to go look? I'll come back. Just go look. I promise.

I'm going to stealth my way to all. We can stage-wisper. We can. There's no one really listening to us so we can talk as loud as we want. But they're my-page. What? 31.

Okay. So you guys are all staying behind. What's a marching order, by the way, you guys are currently in? I'm going to be behind him. All right, so Vax is going ahead. I'll allow it. Don't make a sound. So Vax is going forward.

I'm stealthing onto a battle map. Vex, you are staying behind him? Yeah. Are you going along with her? Everybody alone. Running quiet. Are you doing you going forward? Are you just letting him go ahead?

I'm gonna, I'm gonna say like, behind him. Okay, so back with the group or with him? He's moving ahead, everyone's staying. Like, how much farther ahead are you going? My proposition was to leave you all and go look and come back, to look. That always works out every time.

So go for it. You can set up a flare this time. Go for it. Why don't I go up? I'll tell you what, I'll go up. I'll go up for Trinket by the way too. Oh, 60. Oh, what?

Oh, self for trinket. I figure when I go too stealth I just popped. Okay, then Trinket just popped in your necklace if you wanted to go with that. Probably safest. Yeah, for stealthy times. Stealthy times.

All right, so marching order is Vex. Stealthy time. Use Raven slumber. I'm in the back, back. Okay. Scalon's holding up the rear. And then I suppose it would be Grog Keeh and me and Kings, maybe. Yeah. Grog behind Vex.

Yeah. And then Keelph and Percy behind that and the scale. We're kind of been beaten around the head and neck. beating around the head and neck. All right. Of X, as you still flip the head, you. I used detect evil. Detect evil?

Is that a thing that exists? Yes, it is. Wow. You can see anything other than me, really? Don't flatter yourself. I'm like the city lights of Los Angeles, like to drown out to stars. You're a wannabe.

I'm such a wannabe. Yeah, seriously. I'm the middle management. What are we doing? You're holding that. The middle management. Divine sense, the presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor.

It's already. The spell, the level one spell? No, divine sense. Use this feature a number of times equal to one plus your charisma modifier. Right. So, how it's . That's right.

Three times I can do in a day, fancy me. Yeah. All righty. So you stop and concentrate in the end of your turn. All right. You do not sense any Celestials fiends or undead. Okay. Good thing that I'm being quiet, so I'm going to still

You scoot ahead and you towards the whispers. There's like a small break and you see that groove kind of reappear in the center of this break and you see what appeared to be three figures on the other side of this seemingly in a conversation. What do they look like? You see to the back holding a large wooden crate and is currently kind of leaning against it and kind of impatiently looking at the other two figures, a female Goliath with a heavy, heavy scratch

scar across her face, head shaved bald, and she has like a shield slung over her back and a big sword, currently sheath over her shoulder. She looks kind of wounded a little bit, like there's a little bit of blood trickling down the face, and then right in front of the crate you see what appears to be a younger man with a dark hood up. and cloak arguing with another woman wearing a very intricate cloak with like a sparkling blue interior. Darker brown hair kind of pulled into a very, very tight bun in the back with streaks of white in the back and would appear to be familiar-looking weapon stangling from her belt. You're too far away to hear anything, but you do see this happen.

So Goli, Ripley, and a third, you said. What does the third look like? It's too hard to see you from this distance. Looks humanoid. Okay. And I go directly towards Percival. What? Is there. Right. Grog, there's a big woman of your breed.

Very good. And a third, I don't know what, I don't know if it's a he or a she, I don't know who it is. Thank God. What do we do? Charging guns blazing? I say we put her down as quickly. That's right, we have to stage whisper.

Yes. This is fine, let's just all assume that everyone can not hear us. Do we know what the best are you at she? that she has does. We don't. So what can we immobilize her with? We do know for whatever she has blocked my scrying. So whatever it is blocked my magic to looking on.

Probably immune to magic. From my vantage point that I had, how far away was I from them? You were about 100 feet from them. You were just on the outside of that kind of slight open clearing and they were in the center of it. It looked like there was momentum moving through and they had stopped to have this argument.

So you don't know how long until they're gonna keep moving. How about we take a short rest? One of the like. We can overtake her now if we go right now. All right. What about the hamster ball? But we're not rested. We're gonna have to take it right now. The hamster ball, I can go in there on the hamster ball.

That doesn't do any- Catching the ball? She might not be catchable. I thought she can't be magicked. I don't know. She probably can't. Magic one of the others. I'm going to, I'm going to.

I can barely hear you. I'm going to create a distraction. When the distraction happens, we just all charge and attack. Wait. You're creating a distraction. I'll create a distraction. Why can just- I have a very good distraction.

Yeah, but okay, we need you on sharpshooter duty. Percy, I think you are the distraction. Are you going to be the distraction? No. She'll know I'm here when she hits, feels a bullet hit her. Do we want to use these? No, no. I was going to make the treasure chest look like it a trap triggered.

I was gonna have it explode with like a poison, an illusionary poison. Well, hang on. If we have the flares that her she is recognized with her crew, why not use the flare that her crew has? Also, if I may. You want to alarm her to someone, an outsider. As a seasoned magic expert,

you're gonna have to be pretty fucking close to do that, friend. That's fair. I think she doesn't care about her crew, remember? She's already this far in. I think Scanlan fucking distract and we all charge in like motherfuckers. Fine. Magic users, try and chase the others off, see if they'll back off.

We gotta get that box away from them. She already got away from us once by using magical abilities to blink out of existence. We have to make sure we lock her down so she doesn't run. Scanlan, can you do that? I'll try. There's a big woman. All right.

She's all yours. A big woman. I guess I pop shrink it out. Okay. And I get up on the bow, I mean on the broom. The broom? I sit on my bow and then I realize that I- Wait, Max, from a one to a ten.

Would you say she's a, 8.8? Oh, I was weird. Percy, I need you to do something right now. Yes. Make me a minor illusion of Ripley. I can't move it once you like it. Just a picture.

I can't move. Minor illusion is very limited as a camp trip. Just a picture. Just a picture. Like a head shot? A head shot. Like her like. Like a 1980s Halloween mask? It lasts for a minute.

And it stays in that place. Yeah, that's all I want. So where do you want to create it? Right here. Good dog. I call the dog. I say, look at this face. Go grapple that face. Go, go now. I'm gonna make my way to the tree line and get ready and find a,

I'm making my way to a tree line sitting down and going to try and get a nice, clear shot the minute that I see anything happen. So you're releasing the dog? I'm releasing the dog. I'm gonna fly up to the table. To the top of a tree and try to be high up. Okay, so you fly up into the tree there. You guys, I'm making your right towards the edge of this kind of clearing. The dog goes,

I'm terribly sorry. What was you requesting? Oh, my God, that's right. He speaks. Oh, hi. Hi. Hi. I'm scanning. This black mastiff kind of quizzically turns his head to you. Yes, I forgot.

Greetings, adventurer. Spring has sprung here in Los Angeles, and that means it's a brief period where it's only 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees. I'll take it. And that means I've been outside a lot more. Walking around, occasionally galloping after a toddler hopped up on juice boxes, traveling a bit. You know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I gotta say, looking a little bit sad.

Yes, what are we doing? Who are you? What is this the presence here? Oh, hi. We're your new masters. Great. Do you like kibble or meat or something? No.

Can I ask a favor of you? Maybe. We are right. really in a pickle and we need you to go grab someone by the face and hold her down. Oh shit. Oh, ma'am. I'll see what I can do.

When, when, who? On the count of 10 maybe. The chick. The chick. This image, this picture. If you go over that little ridge line there, you're gonna see three figures. One will be she.

Go put your ma on her face and grab it. All right. All right. Oh, good doggy. Here you are. Don't cognitive, please. I'm sorry. It's demeaning.

Do you have a name? I go, he already have his name. Oh, I thought it was good, I thought it was good dog. Oh, that's not his real name. What is his name? Does it say it on the car? She does. Reginald.

It does? Sebastian. That's an oenix dog. That's go looking at my own again. Anyway, you know his name, it's fine. He won't go to it. You bet. Mr. Belvedere.

Aye. way towards this clearing, preparing for the sequence. We're going to take a bathroom break there. Welcome back. So, last we left off, you guys, Vax noticed that apparently Ripley and some of her crew are trying to make the way back further into the jungle and are in mid-discussion. This is just kind of a good for spatial awareness at the moment, and depending on what happens, possible battle.

Where do you guys want to be for this? Who's on the map right now? This is the Goliath right there, kind of the box. I didn't have a box with me, but there's a big box. That's Ripley, and that's the hooded figure. I wanted to be hiding up in a tree. All right, so we'll say. Still can't see the third, right?

What's up? We still can't make up the third figure. No, the third figure is by Ripley. The Goliath is off on our own with some sort of box. With the box. So we'll say, We're not a box. Off at the side.

Just open here. Okay. The rest of you guys, tell me where you want to be placed. Like anywhere that's green is essentially tree overbrush and- Where are they in the box right now? That's Ripley. That's the hooded figure, like a hooded thug, and that's the Goliath. I'd like to not go direct, but just slowly start creeping around. So I say, we're gonna try and fling this bitch.

Um. I'm gonna- Be here? Fuck. Fuck. I'm gonna be-gued. I'm gonna-you-stall-check. Getting close.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna stay in the brush, but I want to get a clear, I want to get forward enough to get a clear shot so I can like really take a well-aimed shot at Ripley's head. That right there is gonna be about there is gonna be a place. That's fine. I've got some nice distance. Up to you. It's a 14. A 14? A whole person spell I can try and hold me. Kieleth, where you want to go? Where do you want to go? I'm gonna kind of creep forward and towards grog, but being very stealthy. Stuff check. Scanlan, you have a little dog with you. I think we're gonna to start out under where Vex is flying. Like if she burned from...

Over this way. 20 total. 20 total? 20 total? Okay. So, as you guys are kind of sitting at place, Vax, you can start hearing and you start hearing some of the conversation. You hear, uh, really loudly kind of whispering.

Look, I have been carefully setting my scheduling on this, and we have at least 15 to 20 minutes before they arrive. arrive. The thug, who's kind of, you know, turns to instance. You also said they wouldn't be arriving to the island for another day or so. We don't have time to drag our price to the transport site.

And it returns immediately with a, you are a fool to argue with your superior child. I hired you as a bodyguard, nothing more. I plot, you protect. If this doesn't suit you, allow me to fire you from service, and she pulls out over guns out and cocks it and points it. Um, he was,

No, I mean no disrespect, but we must begin setting a trap here. Now, if we hope to stop them. Is that a he or she that I'm hearing? Is it a he? Annesus, you aren't wrong. Luska, take the relic to the others of the mountain. We'll wait here and prepare for our pursuers.

And the Goliath kind of reaches down and begins to grab the mocks and goes, You mean use the relic against them? And it says, it may be too dangerous given we know little. about it. Let me think. As this is happening, you hear a inner brush and all of a sudden they both look over in the direction as a Goliath holding axe is kind of just visible behind one of the trees. I fire. You got this direction to throw a dagger at Ripley now. I fire. We all fire. Okay, all right, so so who's firing right now? Okay, you, you and you. I'm releasing a dog. I'm releasing a

You're releasing a dog. I'm gonna try and hold Ripley with a hold person. Okay. Going around here for this, so you release the dog. The dog begins to run. We'll say it gets about there. The Vax is throwing a dagger. Go ahead and roll for an attack.

Is it a surprise at this point or no? No, Grog broke the surprise. You still get the advantage on the first strike. Okay. 24. Ripley. Okay, 24 on Ripley. Okay, so that hits going all damage. But it's not, but I get sneak attack because I'm first to go. Correct. It's not surprised. All right. 34. 34 and the second dagger will go as well. Okay. 4-7 plus poison. Okay. DC of 15. Okay. You throw both daggers, one goes into her shoulder and she kind of pulls back the impact hitting, but

you're kind of like seemingly resisting, not taking the full brunt of the blow. The second one hits again and it's kind of a delayed reaction from the impact. She's like, ah, stop! Now! Puts her hands out like that, kind of just shouting out to you, shouting out to the direction of where the dagger came from. She kind of sees you kind of moving past in the brush, glancing and she's putting her hands up like that. What rest of you guys doing? Are you going through? Did the poison take effect? Yes. All right. All right. Next. I'm going to shoot a bramble shot at her. Bramble shot from up here? Yeah. Okay. She has pretty intense cover from you from that side. Yeah. Not high up. Like you can see where she is, but she's like pretty much almost full cover. So you're gonna have, she has a big bonus to AC. Then I'll just try a regular shot. Since I can't see her, I don't want to waste my permission. Okay, go for it. Is that first strike?

22. 22. 22. With the cover bonus, no. Aaron misses. Just hits a tree nearby. The other one misses. She has another tree, nothing. She's still shouting, stop! Let's talk! Scanlan and Percy. What are you guys doing?

I say to Percy, should we hear her out? So you're kind of holding her shoulder from where the dagger impacted. And the other figure, the hood of figure is like, Pulled blade out and it's looking around. I'll just shout at her. What do you want what do you want to say? Alright, you shout? Yes. All right. Uh, grog, what are you doing? To kill. I want to ring the fucking dinner bell. We will. What do you mean I can lock her down? I step on the branch that creaked like I'm angry at it.

I'm loudly. I'm gonna cast hex on her. Okay. My bonus, I'm gonna hold my action. And I'm gonna train. I'm like and I'm going to shout from the from the woods. Step away from the box and tell your men to put their weapons down and we will listen. Okay. Kiela, what are you doing? I'm gonna take a few steps forward,

like two boxes forward, and I'm gonna release a hold person on Ripley. No. It's a whole person. Oh, you're releasing it. You're doing it. I'm doing it. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was like, don't release it. I'm not letting it go. 19. She's gonna make a wisdom save. Right. She begins backing away. Spell has no effect. Fucking, fucking. Like she has, she puts her, she's like holding the gun up, her hand up now.

Or she's gonna put it up and she's taking a step back. Stop moving. She stops moving. The other, right now. The other figure is kind of standing there, looking what to do. The Goliath is kind of holding the crate now. Put the crate down.

down or I'll shoot out your ankle. The Glythe, shouts out. Here, bring it to you, I don't know. Put it down right where it is. Drops it to the ground. It begins to like back away from the crate. Um, about there. Anna, who's standing there now, looking over and seeing you

where the voice is coming from. If I see a twitch, I fire. Faster than anticipated. Congratulations. Well now, we stand in a curious position. Shall we talk? You can talk. You have however long I choose to give you.

You see the blood kind of like pulling down her shoulder. You see the other, the humanoid male. You can see now it's a man behind there, kind of holding the blade out at the side, kind of. Explain to us why we shouldn't just kill you now and let your two friends wander off into the sunset. Not to be touched by us if they turn in, Run.

While he's talking, I want to fly on a closer tree. Closer tree? So I can get a better shot at. You have to get a better look here. Can I hide again and circle around further? So you can get about there to get a better view. I will also try to heal the dog. Okay, yeah, the dog which has kind of moved forward.

Back, back, back. It's okay. Steps back there. Follow us dude and also move like slightly to the outside and around their flight. Yeah, there you mean? Yeah, that's great. Okay. You can still kind of see her through the brush. You have a better view. She only has half cover now in the trees.

You begin to get into the stealth check because we make a bonus section to hide essentially. I want to hide like one of the branches. Okay, so both you guys will stealth. You essentially both hide as your roguish talents let you. Just keep an eye out, make sure that they're not people in the jungle coming this way. Yeah. 26.

Yeah. And. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. 25 on sell. Okay, got you. I have fairly procured a few artifacts for myself,

and you have done the same. Do we call it an honorable draw and go our own ways? I am an agreement that on that level, all debts are settled and fair. However, I believe we have some previous debts to still settle. I have no interest in the petty tyranny of drakes and dragons. Every great beast that is a sort of dominance through history has fallen to the ingenuity of man.

I will worry not what's you're after. You are so dull. The other race is Percy, and you know this in your heart. They lack our dynamic ability to adapt. To build upon failure so quickly that success becomes an inevitability. I have faith you will all succeed in your mission, so long as you keep your precious white-haired boy in the lead. You two really follow her? Are you idiots?

The man with the dagger out kind of just glares off at you in the distance. Make perception check, actually. Who? Everybody? Everybody right now. Oh. 16. 12. 19. 22. 32. 32. Jesus.

You coming here? Whispers. Whispers. Whisper. We get, the little, the other, there's falling. Door.

We both get it. Oh, we both get it. Oh, you're taking the DM chair. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey. Oh! I can't hear anything Matt's saying. They're so cute over there.

I knew it. I fucking knew it. Okay. Oh, no. So anything we should know before we continue. Ah. Um, and it continues. Arm up says,

Religion is archaic and unnecessary. What's she paying you? I bet I could double it. The man kind of stands there's still looking kind of dumbfoundly. Attack her right now and we'll discuss terms. I'm not actually sure I could double it, but I could definitely make it worth your while right now. I would be hilarious.

She's awful. Look. Oh, no. Percival. Oh, are they moving behind you? Do you know, you can't see? They really don't like you. Do they know what you did to my family?

Do they have any idea what you do to the people that you stay with? As you're talking, she cuts through your voice to him and says, Don't worry, Percy, our toys have already made the rounds. I sold a couple in Vasselheim and a few more in Encorel, partially because I needed the money, but also because he told me it would drive you mad. How many have you sold? We're looking at six and the instructions.

for creation to two other seemingly very curious and up-and-coming tinkeros like yourself. Well, I guess I'll just have to live with that. I open fire. Okay. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Go ahead and roll. Come out has halted, and now it's progressing again. I'm going to do a... She really pissed me off. I'm so sorry. I'd like to throw at her again as well. Okay. Go for it and roll forward. Okay. Let's, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do you guys. I'm going to spend a dead eye shot on this, and this is a bad news shot with a dead eye with the hex.

By the way, she has a disadvantage on strength checks. Okay. The hex is probably not going to do a damn thing. I don't even know why I bothered. Extra damage? Magic fucking cloak. So it's a sharpsuiter, so that's this. I'm so nervous. Natural fucking 20.

Hooha! That's your tech, will annoy your tech? I roll a 37. You fire, and the dagger gets thrown. The dagger passes through her form. Your bullet has no effect. She's a fucking... Ripley kind of smiles and lowers her head.

Both her and the figure that we're standing, vanish from sight. No. There's a streak of bright light from the distance as a small beam hits the center and detonates in a small fireball, which then causes the ground to suddenly rumble and erupt and explode,

an explosion of white light and force. Everybody but Percival, for a moment you are tossed with the blast of a hundred hammers across your body and face. Your vision is faded as you hear the sound of thunder but inches from your ear. Numbness takes over your form. I need all of you to roll a dexterity saving throw.

Did this evasion factor into this? It may. Did the hex actually take then? Uh, no. Wouldn't I have noticed? This is an illusion? threw it over there. Gil, don't fail me. It seemed to cause some sort of a smoky apparition.

Oh, don't know. Don't have killed. Gil, this is on your fucking dice. I walked away from that. Natural. 20 on the second. Yeah. That's great.

Wait, did you say we have a... No, he has advantage. He has advantage on dexterity. To dexterity? At dangerous sense. Does the dog mean to make a dextape? The dog would, yes. How do I do that for the dog?

How many points does the dog have? have. 70 stats for his... Six. Even if the dog made it. The dog is just... The onyx dog that reformed into a small object has now flung from a large fiery explosion. All right, so, next 30, 17. 14. 17. Percy, you actually are... Oh, you know, actually you should make it too just from the sheer force. Everybody makes it. 12. 28.

Okay. So, Grog, you managed to just... leap out of the way as you begin to see the fireball explosion that's just out of the range. It hits kind of in the center here and doesn't hit anybody. But in a split second, you watch as certain things in the ground catch flames and explode from underneath. The ground itself erupts, like something deep beneath the earth just bursts outward. Grog, you take 32 points of fire damage. Vax, you manage to dodge out of the way behind a tree. the tree of which is blown past you and you duck out of the way, but it takes the run to the damage, you take no damage with your evasion. The rest of you take 65 points of fire damage. Who took the full smack? Oh my God.

We walked right into that one. We knew we were gonna fall for that one. Yep. Did the Goliath? Goliath probably took some damage too. Trinketing also takes the damage, by the way. Trinket. Roll the reflex saved.

Trinket was on the ground, wasn't it? Yep. If you, if you, uh... Exteriority, uh, 21 for Trinket. Rugg is not blasted prone, managed to catch himself. 21. 21, okay, so Trinket takes 32 points of fire damage. Because if he had taken the full thing,

movement, I'm conscious. As the ringing subsides from the blast, you all were thrown dozens of feet from your current placement. Most of you onto your back, aside from you, Vax and you, Grog. And actually, Trinket would have caught myself as well. You now see a giant crater in the ground with rock and rubble and shards of glass tossed around you. The trees in the center have been blasted out, and you can see a number of broken trunks and roots kind of curved up

with little bits of fire and flame now kind of burning off their edge, what little bit of burnable material still remained on some of the living trees. The smell of heavy gunpowder recently burned kind of sits the air as the giant cloud of smoke rises up in the center of the jungle. At this point in time, the Goliath has stepped forward from the brush, as well as two other figures off to the side, wielding long-barreled rifle-like weapons. There are a few other figures on this side as well. Oh, my God. And actually, you don't see that one. And Ripley steps out of the bushes from the side. Where is she?

What? Over there. Oh, so they are there, and we're all like it. the opposite side, and this is a heavy groove in the ground. These are the only parts of the land that still stand at normal ground height. The rest of this is a giant slope that goes into a crevasse and rises back up. Vegetation is gone here. Vegetation, that area is completely gone. And there's broken rock and glass everywhere still in the area. How deep is the crevice? It's about 20 feet deep at its deepest. And everybody sees everybody, right? Everybody sees everybody right now. I need you all to roll in a ship. All right, O'boyant. Don't fucking fail me now. That's all right. Come on, Gil.

All right. Natural point. Wow, you like that dice. Is that Gil's dice again? I've been doing fine for me. It's been hit or a mess. Yeah, same here. Although I will admit I rolled gold for this roll. I rolled gold.

Yes, I did. Diggin, diga, diga, diga, diga, dig. All right. All right, bitch. All right. All righty, so, going from this here, because this is going to be a bit of a complicated battle to keep track up for initiative.

I'm going to go ahead and write it here. 25 to 20. 30. I just rolled a natural 20 on my initiative. It is 30. This would be the time to do it. Jesus. All right, what'd you get God?

22. 22. 20 to 15. 17. 17. Vex. Uh, right. Uh, 15 to 10.

15. 15. Oh, that's over. 10. 10 to 5. Six. Six. All right.

See guys in a half hour. Is she actually been hit by the hex, by the way? The hex is still around, but meaning you cast the spell on this concentration spell. Actually, I need you to roll concentration. That's fine. fine. I'll run it to concentrate. What is what do I roll for concentration again? Oh you got to roll a natural 20. That was a lot of damage buddy. You had to roll above your damage. Or half the damage thing. Oh my god, shut the fuck up.

Different dice too. How? Jesus Christ. What the hell? You somehow in the blast as your eyes flicker to and you immediately shoot up from the ground and sitting position. I'm rolling with hate. Your eyes immediately focus on on really appearing from across the way across the crevasse. and that little lingering scar of Orthax in the back of your head maintains the anger of your hex. You would have to designate it onto her next turn, but you still maintain this one.

All right. My hate lives. My hate lives. You got this. F.H, fate, hate, whichever, you know, same. Six or one, half a dozen of the other. Oh, man, that felt good. All right. It's two in a row, by the way.

Top of the round is Percy. Okay. Where was I? You are over here on your ass. I'm going to stand up. That's half your movement there. You're right at the edge of where the ground breaks and falls in. That's fine. What's the distance? Is it only bad news distance, or am I within 400? Am I within 400? You're within 400, yeah. So I can actually like put bad news away and actually like deal with this. Yeah, if you'd like to.

Um, well, they probably all have much higher. They're going to just have initiative up the wazoo. So I'm gonna, um, huh, okay, no, no, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pull, pull the big gun out again. Give it a reload and give it a shot right at Ripley. Um, it's going to be, I've got the hex on her. Okay, so you move the hex over to her with your bonus action. She's now officially hexed. Um, let's give her, let's pick a fun disadvantage. Uh, let's see. Let's give her just a dexterity disadvantage. All right, dex disadvantage, got it. All right, first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to do a standard shot at her with a leg shot.

I'm just going to try and knock her prone because that's fun. Go for it. No sharpshooter. That's 26 to hit. That'll hit. So she has to make a strength save, is it? Um, she has to make a strength saving throw. Uh, that is a 19. Against a DC of 19.

17 plus 2, she makes it. Okay. So does knock her prone, it hits her in the foot, she almost falls over, but go ahead and roll damage. Damage is, oh, there's also a bonus damage. Isn't there really? Here we are. Make sure I'm rolling on the right dice. That'll, that'll do.

Um, that's six plus, uh, 10. 10. Uh, 22 points of damage plus three points of necrotic damage. Nice. All right. The blast hits the leg and almost knocks her onto the ground, but she catches herself on the edge, kind of against the tree right behind her and pushes herself back into place. That's funny. I'm going to burn an action surge. And I'm going to shoot her two more times.

All right. It's funny. I'm going to, uh, where is she? What's behind her? It is a tree, about 10 feet behind her. 10 feet behind her. I'm going to hit her again with an attempt to knock her down. I'm going to burn another group for that. Boom, boom. That is, that's 32 to hit. 32 to hit, that'll hit. That's not quite as good. That's 6.11. 14 points of damage plus three points of necrotic.

Okay. This one. And another strength check. The strength check. This one she does not make. As she readies herself, you fire a second time and it hits her foot. You could see a spatter of blood off the side, and she falls and slams right down on the ground, actually taking three points of piercing damage, landing onto the broken glass and the rubble around her. And just for fun, no, because then that's just her bonus action for that, although that would be pretty funny. I'm just going to hit her one more time with a, just for a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, Sharpshooter shot? Do I get a bonus to hit her because she's on the ground or no?

Actually, because she's on the ground, it's a disadvantage. Um, any range attacks against prone? Prone people even with a sharpshooter, even with a, with a standard sharpshooter bonus of, uh, ignore, three-quarter cover? It's not so much cover, it's more the fact that they're, uh... Smaller target? Yeah, she's a smaller target to hit, because they're closer to the ground. Okay, so, so the full range, uh, sharpshooter, full range, ignore three-quarter cover does, would not cancel that out?

It's not cover that gives you the bonus. I mean, but like the whole theory being it's just easier to hit smaller targets. Right, and it affects cover. It doesn't affect her being a smaller target in general to hit. Hmm. It's just the way the rule works. Yeah, that's okay. She's down. What are we gonna do? Yeah, no, I'm not gonna pretend. Yeah, I'll burn a point of, I'll burn a point of grit to also ignore that. Okay, there you go. So it's just a straight attack roll. Oh, that's probably, probably not gonna hit. Let's see. 14.

14 doesn't not hit. Damn it. It scoots past her and, slams into the tree behind her. You see the splintering of petrified bark. All right, I throw my, throw my, uh, gun behind on my shoulder and I'm going to head to my right to try and get some cover with that tree. Around Keyleth? Yeah, around Keyleth. Yeah. Jump over her prone form.

My mind's dead. Get up! Oh, ah. Pursy? Yes. All right, Grog, you're up. Oh, look at the crater in the ground and I go, whoa. And I would like to rage. Yes. Can I in 50 feet get to that-

Regular rage or frenzied rage? Just regular. Okay. Can I get all the way to the guy that's right in front of me on the map along the side of the crater? Is that not enough for 50? You can just get there. I'll just get there. Lovely. You see him like loading the rifle and all of a sudden you rush up the side of goes, oh shit! I would love to make a reckless attack against him. Okay. With more two blows. Go for it. That's 20. 29. 29. I'm definitely it. Nice. 33.

33 points of damage. Thank you. No, no, I'm sorry. 33 to hit for the second. Oh, I see, I see. I see. Okay. I'm sorry about that. That's right. Yeah, they both hit. Yeah, okay. Go ahead and roll damage. 29 with five points in necrotic damage. Nice. So 34. You actually did more. Second strike. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I see. I see. I'm so sorry. 29. That's all good.

Four, seventeen, a total of twenty-two with another five points in the crotic. Gotcha, okay, cool. As you rush up and whack, hacking into him with the blade, angry, the other, just your jaw clenched in anger. The gunner is like pushed back, each blow just gashing into his chest. You can already see the crimson line of each slash across his armor. Part of it kind of folding away from the impact and he's just like trying to get the hell away from you. Is that in your turn? I say, thanks for the war-up. And that's my turn. Okay. All right. Next up is Anna Ripley.

She stands up from her space, angrily. That's all right. We can finish the job. And if she brings her hand up and begins casting a spell on herself. All righty. She finishes casting the spell. Her, this is a weird kind of outline begins to just kind of like a gold-like. shimmer across just the edges of her shoulders. You're not quite sure what it means. You watch as her right kind of metallic hand that she has detaches and hits the ground. You watch as a flare of purplish black energy begins to swirl off her shoulders. And where the arm was, now you see a giant

shadow claw emerge. You see a shadow begin to encompass around her another pair of shoulders and glowing yellow eyes over her form. As she says, I found a new friend recently. Seems he doesn't like being abandoned. She's the anti-person. That's what we'll pick it out next week. Thank you for watching Critical Role. Holy Buc.

Brought to you by poor decisions. Yeah, man. And with that, she vanishes. Shikins are all coming out of the roost. Shit. Can I just say how much I wish Pike was here right now? Yeah, second hit. At third death.

Yeah, we miss Pike. All right. This gunner here is going to go ahead and aim at you, P. While this one is going to attempt to step away from Grog. TACP opportunity. 30 right there. Go ahead and make your TACO opportunity on him. Which is reckless.

Percy, did she just disappear? 29. She's not his. She's just invisible. 20 points in Pookewis. 20 points including three points in McRoyer. 20 total. Nice.

So it's where you hack again, this time across the back of the shoulders. Ah, he arcs in pain. Um, he's looking a little rough, but still keeping up. Stumbles away, turns around, and whips the rifle behind and goes to fire at you with it. It has advantage on you because you reckless attack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, that is going to be a natural 20 on the second roll. Thanks.

Um, all right, so with the rifle, there's 2D 10. I don't look good either. I should mention, I suppose, that these rifles are probably very breakable. 42 points of piercing damage to you, Grog, from the crit. Because you are raging and it is not magical if that's halved, to you take 21 points. Like 8% of your hit point pool. We can all get together. I actually brought heel today because Pike wasn't here. Really?

I did. I was going to reload the rifle and then go for another strike. Like, it immediately heals like seven people to people. advantage. That's 17 plus 10, so 27. Yep. I love it. The next hit is all across the border now. I'm definitely up. 13 times of your damage reduced to six. I'm like, I'm 10.

The other gunner aiming at you? I'm four. Disadvantage because of the cloak. Right, which it rolled a one in a 19. So first shot just goes clear. It hits your form, but your form shimmers and you're actually in three inches left. When a roll with a one with a rifle, misfire? Yeah, it's going to.

Okay. So the rifle immediately kind of smoke starts pouring out of it and you see the metal is kind of bent now and he chucks it to the side. It turns and pulls out a small pistol and it's going to go ahead and take two shots at you. With disadvantage, that's... Five, plus 10, 15 misses. Second shot, misses. Turns the barrel. Goes to fire a third time with disadvantage.

Six and a 19. Nope. The third one, five. and each one's hitting your form, but your image shiv-s around it, no impact. It's going to step back into the bush here to try and get out of sight. That guy's going to stay over there. That ends their turn. Vex, you're up. Where am I?

You're over here flat on your ass. Jesus. Looking up at the open space where a bunch of tree cover used to be that is now blown open, the sky is visible. Geez, nice. Will I stand up? How far, what are those like, those circles next to Trinket. What are those? These are some trees that survived the explosion that are like singed and burned. So there's like a trunk approximately this big underneath. Would I be able to get and hide behind that?

Using half your movement to get up, you would have 15 more feet, so you get that as far as you could get. But you can use your bonus action to dash if you wanted to. Oh, right, because I'm a rogue. Okay, I'll do that. And I'll dash and hide behind the tree. Okay, well you dash, but you can't roll a hide as well unless you want to use your action to do that Well, I want to get behind the tree so it's still like coverage, right? Yeah, that's true yep And then I can't can I shoot from there?

Can yeah, as long as something's in range. What's is anything in range? What's the range on your? Welcome. Um It should be written down with you her. Oh no, it doesn't see? It should wrote it I'll find it for you. This is Lombos range 150 feet and 600 feet. So, yes. Yeah, pretty much everything, except for maybe the farthest guy, is questionably within your first range category.

So yeah, you do have a shot at most everything. Okay, I'm gonna shoot. Oh, so the guy that Grog hit is without, outside of my range? He might be. It's hard to tell at this distance. You have to gauge it. Okay, then I'm gonna shoot it the guy closest to me. But I want to be able to peek out, shoot, and then duck box behind the tree, yeah.

Okay, go for it. What? What? Nothing. You didn't hear me. Go for it. Go for it. Okay. I don't know why you what. What? Um, that is a 30-something.

32? That hits. Jesus, Benterous. What? 21. 21 points of damage. What the fuck, man? As the figure's like disappearing backward, trying to get into the brush to hide, arrows. Hits the female warrior.

and you can see her move quickly to go and take your second attack on her. That was a female warrior? It was a female gunner, yeah. Yeah. Which one? Right there. I'm not shooting at the other one, dude. I thought that's what he said before. No. Okay, so I'm gonna shoot her again. Uh, 18. Doesn't hit her. Uh, 18, just barely hit. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ben brads.

Yes. Yep. Didn't quite get into cover at this point. 22 on that one. Oh, and the one. The last two had four points of lightning damage on both of them. Right, yes. All right.

You hear the echo of angry, gritted teeth from the pain of the two arrow blows. And then I had back behind it, or ducked back behind it. So you're like using the tree as you're half cover at the tree. Okay, that ends your turn. Vax, you're up. So the one in the far corner is not the one that you whispered to us about. Or is, who shot at me? The one who I whispered to?

Yeah. That was an illusion. It vanished. You don't see that figure here. Okay. Fulkin hell. Alright. Oh shit. Then I am going to, that's the one in the far corner is who my sister attacked. Yeah, right there. You saw the two arrows, then I'm going to follow up.

Okay. One more player off the board. Go on to move closer or you're just like leaping up onto the- Right there, yeah, I'm a sharpshooter. That's- Yeah, this tree is too thick, you're gonna have to get up on the tree to do it. Fine. So you kind of leap up, get onto it and you're-29 for the first and the second is 26. 26, all right, both hit. Unfortunately, no sneak attack.

Yeah, I know. That is eight for the first. Grab next to Keylet, by the way. And nine for the second. Great, all right. The two daggers, Pierce kind of vanished in place. They come back to you. Can I use the rest of my movement to drop behind the tree and go into a crouch?

Yeah. You leave just beneath, and if you want to use your bonus action, action, well no, use your bonus action. Yeah, so I'm done. You're done. All right, that does give you three-quarters cover, though, from behind, anywhere from that angle. Oh, can I have had on my move, Trinket run over to the tree where Percy is? Yeah, I'll give it. Mm-hmm. Thanks. It's behind Percy now. All right, that comes to Keyleth. Okay, I stand up. Very irritated. And I grab Percy, and I pull him to me, and I cast heel.

on him. My sixth level spell. I'm fucking burning it for you. Thank you. Oh. So full 70 points because he's almost down. Is it not? It's not. Oh, you may I think it was. I should have grabbed mass cure wounds and I was wrong. So I grabbed Percy and I say

fucking finish this bitch. Finish this. And let him go and that's my turn. Okay. Healing Percy. I am not at full, but I'm much better. Nothing fucking killer man.

But is a thing. All right. Next, you're probably down, down next to me with some cover, though. You're probably not up to the other side. And I'm going to take my last whatever movement I have to kind of step back a little bit because I'm really fucked up. So if I can step back, whatever I can. I know I stood up, so I know I have like half movement.

Two, three, you can get like behind Trinket. I'll get behind Trinket and I'm not looking good. Okay. Grog, after you see the guy, guy back up and you start lurching forward, you just faintly hear out of the corner of your ear a rustle and your eye turns over just in time to see a hooded figure leap out with a blade in hand towards you from behind. That is going to be with advantage against you. 26 to hit. That hit. I've danger since. Advantage on deck saving throw, dodge, traps,

and spells. Yeah, it doesn't help you in this. Wait, traps and spells? Yeah, which he got advantage on the, yeah, on the saving throw. 46 hits, yes. Where hell is that? You feel something cold and painful to sink into your back and the muscle tense up. All right, you take... ...taped out.

I'm not looking at it. From the sneak attack. Oh, sneak attack. Kill her. 28 points of slashing damage. Half to 14? Half to 14. Okay.

Who's damage through your back. from the blade. And kind of surprised at the impact it didn't take as well as it did. Close the blade out and kind of the blood curling on the edge of the blade, you kind of glance over your shoulder at this. The war is over and both sides lost. Kingdoms were reduced to cinders, an army scattered like bones in the dust. Now the survivors claw to what's left of a broken world, praying the darkness chooses someone else tonight.

But in the shadow dark, the darkness always wins. This is old school adventuring at its most cruel. Your torch ticks down in real time. And when that flame dies, something else rises to finish the job. This is a brutal rules-light nightmare with a story that emerges organically based on the decisions that the characters make. This is what it felt like to play RPGs in the 80s, and man, it is so good to be back.

This, this, you know, thug-like figure, kind of young man looking a little scared. That brings us to the Goliath. At this speed right now, just sees you at that point. Goes ahead and dashes forward, takes no action, but pulls pulling out a shield and a big old thick broad sword just comes up, yelling at you, kind of getting your attention, full on, like, a latitorial warrior on warrior combat.

Shield at the ready, ready to just tussle with you. Table forward. Scanlan, you're up. Me? Yep. Jesus, I can't do shit. I get up. Those are holes, craters.

Yeah, I mean, like you can slide. It's like a gradual ravas that comes down and then comes up to these points here where the ground has just been blown out. Okay, I get up to the edge of, I go, or what, I can only run another 15 feet or something, right? Yeah, roughly. So I get closer to the edge as far as I can, yeah. That's about as close you can get there. And, oh, shit.

Um. We are so far. Man, I can't do much. I can't do much. Those fickers are, how far apart are the farthest of the far? Not far apart. Both of these guys are about 25, 30 feet from each other. And then how about that one and the next one?

That one and the next one there? Yeah. They would be roughly 65, 70 feet apart. Okay. Eh. Okay. You take your action to five? Oh, man.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah, I'll fire a fireball to those two in the corner. That's good. That's good. That's so helpful. All right. Anyone done. We're in it, y'all.

We are fucking in it! So it's DC-15. NARly. This is gnarly. Right here. Okay, so the one, the robed one succeeds. It takes half damage. The gunner rolled a natural one.

Did she say rogue one? Great. So go ahead and roll that. 8D6 damage. Percy, you're almost up. We have a more turn before you after this and then you're up. So have a pre-prepared. Oh, God, I have to.

No, I'm... That's good. 35. 35? All right. Fire damage to that one. And then that kind right there.

Another fiery explosion. You can see the streak from the wand of Scanlon and distance. This tree begins to catch fire. It's one of the few not fully burned petrified trees. Oh, thank God. The thing's going to curl up. The rogue figure kind of ducks out of the way

and manages to avoid some of the impact. The figure that's already been stabbed and shot by arrows takes the full brunt of it and is looking charred, burnt, and barely holding on right now. All right. As a bonus, can I take a potion? Is that a bonusable action? Yeah, let me take an origin as bonus.

Okay, I'll take a greater, which is how many? Greater is 4D4 plus 4. 4.4. 4D.4 plus 424. 44 plus 4. Pretty, br-up. Shit, man, what a nap. I'm so excited.

Okay. Like a pair of crater breasts coming out of the ground, boy. Crater breasts. Okay, that's my loo. See you in a half hour. We'll send them out. All righty. So.

Oh my God, there you go. How many more attackers don't we see? I know, right? There are the Hong Kong Cavalier still. It's like the crazy 88s just think keep coming. One, two, three, four. Uses a bonus action to Misty Step. Damn it.

Fucking. On to there. What? Come on the- Good, that's funny. No, that's at eye level. That's on our level. The robed figure, yeah, it's up on the eye level.

Stands are on the edge, lifts the staff up, the hand begins to glow in a shimmer of rainbows. And as the hand comes down like this, the rainbow blasts out in front of it with this sudden, nearly blinding show of magical arcane force. Okay. Hey, did I get my templates? I'm gonna need a template there, Ryan. Those old plastic things.

If you have no template, it misses everybody. 5.10. That's how it works. I don't see them in there. Is this one, sorry, before you do this, before you spend all this time, is this one 60 feet away from me? Uh, it is within 60 feet. I'm gonna counter spell that.

You're a beautiful person. Okay, using your reaction to counterspell. Go ahead and roll, adding, six plus two because of your thing. So plus eight to this. It's a D20? D20 at eight. Fuck you. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Interesting thought here. There I liked interesting thoughts. Thank you.

Hopefully we don't need those. Oh look they made little caskets for all of our figures. That's so adorable. Oh, how cute. Thanks, Chad. You can add one of your own barred inspirations for ability check if you want to. A little Viking funeral. This technically an ability check. So if you wanted to, you can inspire myself?

Yeah, that's a bill that you got to work. All right, to inspire myself, I take a big handful of Fusaka. I'm waiting. You could roll the D10 and add that. Looks like meat, back on a menu, boys. Thank you for that line. Another four. It only brings it up to 16.

16 that's not going to be a little. Terrible rolls. What a visual. I got spice in my nose. Only catches those two, unfortunately. All right. Wasn't quite as good as he was hoping. And neither was I.

Actually, it would get... No, Trinckin' chest barely noses. Tickle on his nose. You're good. On three, I'm hiding behind Trinket. So I need a dexterity saving throw from Percival and from Scanlon. Come on, Percy. Natural 20. No, but good enough.

Pretty good. Um, 18. 18? Oof. Um, you know what? Should I, is it too late to re-roll that with a, with a- No, you have the ability in Donnerable as a fighter to do that. Scanlon, would you roll? 24.

24 dexterity saving throw? That I rolled on 19. Nice. Come on. It's a better. No, no better. Okay, well, it's 10d6 fire damage to you as one of the red ray strikes into you purse, you managed to pull out of the way just in time.

Rainbows are a motherfucker. I would have been dead. Oh my gosh. People made fun of Thor walking across that rainbow ridge. Mock Asgard now. Stop making that face. That's a... It can't kill me.

It can't kill me. Fifteen points of fire damage to you per se. Okay. That's fine. Would have been 30. It was really shitty rolls on that one. Holy shit, Rainbow Dash. You failed.

You failed. So you take full damage, sorry. So it is 31. Yeah. You're fucked. 31 points of fire damage. I'm still fine. To you.

Thank you. You're welcome. I rolled an eight. That's two rays against you, Scalienin. Is this prismatic spray? Yes, it is. Oh, shit. You know what it is?

Yeah. It's really cool. It's yellow against you. And orange. So that's 20. D6 damage. 20 D6. Thankfully you made your save, so it's half each. Oh, you say lightning and acid. However, the acid, you have resistance again.

Whoa! That's halved again. Did you say 20-20? Down to 10. 10.5. So we'll say 10d6. So the acid damage you would take would be 47, reduced to 23. So you need 23 acid damage. You're welcome. Oh my God. And then 38 points of lightning damage. damage reduced, well, okay, so the acid damage, you took half of that as well.

So how much did I say you took? 23. 23, that's reduced in half because of resistance. Okay, that's nice. So that brings it to 12. You take 12 or 11 points of acid damage. Going down and down, I like this. And then you take 16 points of lightning damage. Okay, that's much better than those other numbers that you would say.

Yeah, well, those were bad numbers. One d'8 when it's cast and on you I rolled an eight, which means you had that resistance and you made your save. It's a cool spell. It's a really cool spells. I was surprised you didn't. And the colors determine the... It's a random...

It's a random... That's really badass. It's everything in a 60-foot call. Ugh. So thank God we were... Hoping he was a little closer, but didn't point it. That's a good night, sweet prince, right there. What level spell was that?

It's like a Pink Floyd tribute concert. That was his big... That was his big old... Big old move. Could he have Misty stepped closer to us? Not with that crevasse, unfortunately. It's a... Some would call it a crevace. I will fight you.

A crevice. I will fight you. I have a lovely bouquet at home. Pervasive, you're up. Can I, in theory, I'm able to sense my hex. You can't right now, no. I'm not sensing my hex. Not at all.

She's got a magical cloak of fuckery. Yeah, she does. They're going to middle us down. That's fine. I'm just going to, I'm, There's really no point of even moving at this point. I'm just sort of on fire. So I'm going to, I'm just going to pull out the retort pistol and I'm going to shoot that wizard in the chest with some fun. I'm going to take three shots at him.

Okay, go for it. The first is a sharpshooter shot. Okay. And that's 27. 27 to hit with the minus from the sharp. With the minus, yeah, I rolled really well. All right, that'll hit. That's 24 to hit, I'm sorry, at 16.

24 to hit, yeah, it hits. Actually, it's 27, never mind. I'm rolling really. Make up your mind, man. I'm really angry right now. I'm genuinely angry. I can't even roll. Should I count that?

Should I count that or not? Should I re-roll that? No, but it was good, but you have to re-roll it. What? Wasn't intentional roll or re-roll. All right. Oh, who's the same thing. Okay.

That's 26 points of piercing damage. 26 points of piercing damage. Already. What the hell? The bullet hits and it. The rope figure, the hook kind of flies back, and you see a man in his 40s with kind of like a chin-strap beard. He's like, and he's still holding his staff, kind of keeping himself there. I am so calm doing this. I'm going to shoot again. Same thing.

That's 12. 12 does not hit. This time you go to fire and the mage. Now aware of your presence and what's firing him just ducks out of the way. It shoots past. All right, and I'm going to burn a grit, and I'm going to do a... torso shot, because that'll be funny. No charge of here. All right. I'm a little fan of comedy. I am. It is, it is, it is, hilariously funny as always possible.

Oh, and there's no save for this. It's just if I hit. If you hit? Come on. Be cool. That's cool enough. Uh, 21. 21. As a reaction, the mage is going to throw up a shield spell, seeing it coming towards him, adding to his AC, the, bullet, while it should have hit the torso,

rickishish off an arcane shield that kind of shimmers briefly in place, having no impact, unfortunately. All right. I'm going to, I am going to really quickly use my bonus to have a greater restoration, greater, greater potion, that's 44 plus 4? 44 plus 4, yes. All right.

And then I'm going to make sure that I look to the wizard in the eye, and I'm just going to just yell to his head. him. You're not leaving here alive. You're going to die as I reload. Well, I can't reload yet. That I'll reload this. All right. Benz your turn, Percival? Rob, you're up. Now that I've got two playfellows, can I, we're on the edge of the crevassie, right? Correct, yes.

Yeah. Can I try to push the Goliath into the, uh, uh, uh, can I go into a frenzy rage? It's my bonus action. Sure. Can I use my first attract to try to shove the Goli into the crevasse? Uh, you'd have to move to push her. Right now. Yeah, just move. Yeah, you shift around that way.

I'll do that. You can get an attack opportunity from the rogue. She's really good. That's worth it. And I would say just so you're aware. Uh, and usually it's like when you go into a rage, you choose to friends your age, but I've always liked the idea of you just going into frenzy if you want to. I don't think it takes an action to do so. Okay.

I thought it was like a bonus. It's a bonus action to rage, but... Yeah, yeah. I thought frenzied was awesome. Yeah, you're fine. Okay, you just go into it. All right, so you'll move... Yeah, just one over.

One over this way. Yeah. The road goes to strike you. Yep. Uh, that is... Twenty-one. That'll hit. That hits.

It is not sneak attack right now because he already used it has come back to his turn. So you take ten points of piercing damage, reduced to five. Okay. As he swipes at you. Just cuts barely across your back and you move into place. Okay, now the Goliath kind of turns her shield up in front of you. And my reckless attack, I would like to try and push her into the crevasse. Okay, so the first strike, go ahead and make your athletics check, I think.

Nice. Athletics? Ahletics? It's gonna be your athletics versus hers. 27. You push her back, five feet there, and you push into that space there. First time, she's like, you push the shield up, and as you slam into the shield, she slides against. You see all the glass kind of building up behind.

her ankles and tumbling into the crevasse behind her. I'll do another. All right, go for it, roll again. 23. That is a 13. So as she stands there with her blade at the ready, getting ready, arc down with the counterattack, you slam into her shield and she falls backward,

tumbling into the crevasse, down into the... No, the pound center. She takes 15 points of damage from the impact and the shards of broken jagged glass that are kind of at the bottom of it from the explosion before and she's like on the ground. Can I look over my shoulder at the road? Yes, you can't. Because you've just got the little dagger, right?

Yeah. Can I say, sit down before I open you up? And I would like to take off towards the guy that I was first engaged with. That's the back corner of the map with the rest of my movie. Sure. I have one attack lot. Yeah, go for it. Reckless. Please, chef.

25. Thank you. Yeah, that'll hit. Into paste, please. 17 with two points of necrotic damage. 17, you rush up and slash across the axe. He puts up the rifle to try and keep it at bay. You cut through the rifle, just cutting it half and shp-the-blade impacts in the chest.

Cutt pushes and pulls the weapon out as you pull backward, ready for another strike. A big streak of blood kind of pours out from the wound. He's standing, but looking extremely hurt. Nice. And his rifle's broken. Mm-hmm. All right.

Ends your turn? I have retaliation. I forgot about it. If he tries to run, you'll kill him anyway. If somebody tries to hit me within five feet with melee, I can hit him back, but I forgot to do it. It's just like a backslime. Even on the attack of opportunity, you mean? Mm-hmm.

He's the ability to just use his reaction to attack someone back immediately. He'll do it once for round. Once for round. Yeah. All right. Suddenly, Who that? Ripley. Ripley reappears 10 feet from where she was before.

And you can still see the smoke pouring off of her, the presence, very easy to see of Orthax now bound to her, the inspiration for her recent designs and carrying on the legacy that you chose to end. As she appears, she goes and takes aim with her refined pepper box, crossed the way at you, Percy. Yes, she does. Get advantage against bullets, right? I don't. Although I do have cover. I don't have full cover.

No, you have half cover. This is five to your AC. Shulahua 28. That'll hit. Adds five to my AC currently? Yes. So the first one hits. The second strike, she's going to go ahead and spend a grit point to violent. violent shot. That is a 26. That also hits. Okay. And the third strike, she is going to, she's going to headshot you. That's funny and kind of useless, but okay. That's all right. That was a natural one. Oh, that means the gun is. Miss fires. Oh, it's. Miss fires. The first two shots hit, but the third one,

misfires. So with her refined pepper box, she takes aim, takes a shot. Actually, before she does that, she bonus actions towards you and you feel a similar feeling takeover you as you now. She's such a nega Percy. Nege Percy. Why don't you marry her? This whole fight is going to end with us kissing. We're just going to start making out in the, yeah. It's going to be a big ugly neck out. So the first shot with this is going to be a 10 points of, oh sorry, that's plus a 12 points of piercing damage from the first strike.

12 points of piercing damage plus two psychic. Plus two psychic. As the impact hits you and you feel this kind of shocking ring in your head, you see a flash suddenly in your mind of the dark shattered face of Orthax laughing. 14 points total? Yes. Second shot, which is a violent shot and hit, has double dice value. So that's 18 points of piercing damage? I'm gonna try and slow it down with a catch. Okay, plus four psychic. So I'm just gonna try and lower that 18. Go for it. I lower it by 14 points. Okay, you catch the bullet. And the most part, it still pierces through the flash of pain due.

So four points of damage plus four psychic. So eight total. Wow, you caught a bullet. Yeah. They don't move that fast. And the third gun, I'm just going to be laughing my ass off for a minute. And you watch this, she goes, very well, and vanishes again. I hate her. She's the boss. She's a bot.

She's a ba-bba-batch. That brings us to the gunner's turn. Of course. This one here is going to go ahead, and it's horribly wounded. This one, the rifle misfired, if I recall. Yes, that's right. That's right. And has pulled out the pistol.

So the gunner here, using the pistol, it was going to take three shots at UVX. A disadvantage. With disadvantage on them, correct. Well, it's two shots. One, and then a reload, and then one. It's the first shot with disadvantage. It says 27 and 24. That hits.

All right, so the disadvantage is faded. So it would lose it for the rest of the round. Yeah. Wow. But still, you take from the first hit, 12 points of piercing damage. Such therapy. And the second strike without disadvantage

is terrible. That is a 13. Fine. It's terrible. Rolled a three, but it did not roll enough to miss fire. So reload, halfway. Shot fire misses. It's going to go ahead and run this way.

Oh, can I uncanny dodge the, or is it too late? Yeah, you can do that. All right. So have to do it. All righty. All right. The other one who's in front of you, Grog, and it's just like scared out of his mind, is going to go ahead and attempt to step back.

Well, that's one way to die. So go ahead and take your... Just not want to be in your face. That's 29. That hits... Go ahead, roll damage. Could I make that great weapon? That's it for you. Yeah, no.

It's too bad. 16 points of damage one necrotic 16 are back at this time you like jam it in the leg and you seem limping one eyes like half closed and swollen breathing heavy one arm is kind of busted and is still holding a pistol up and kind of points it towards you is gonna take three shots with a pistol that's already loaded now they took out of the big gun the first one is going to be 12 misses you just head dodges on the south The next shot is a 25. Oh, yeah.

This one will be four plus four, eight points of piercing damage. Okay, half to four. Yeah, and for this one is going to go ahead and use all three grip points that it has to do a triple violent shot. Whoa. Wait, that's like a thing? That is a thing. That's cool. What the, what the triple violent? Why haven't you done that?

It adds more to the misfire score, but I can add a lot of damage, so. No, I very rarely use it. What's a triple? What? It's a 22. It's a, oh shit. It's just a... Look, did you see how happy he was about this?

This is going to be bad. Out of the most satisfied smile I've seen from Matt in a really long time. How are you, frog? Are you all right? A triple Lindy. Yeah. I'm on take those looking at. These shots are all half.

At 26 points of piercing damage, reduced to half. 13. Yeah, see. Just goes firing at you with the shots. And as you're still standing and taking it all, it's like one angry shot that may go terribly. shaking and backing up. Yeah, can I lick the ice cream as it's melting out of me? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can do a crumple. Oh, man. That ends, the gunner's turn. Vex, you're up. Me? Yes. Oh. Okay.

For a bonus action, I'm going to take a greater healing potion. Okay. Yeah, you are. I'm going to do that at the end, though. Okay, I'm going to peek out. Who's seeable? Is the guy that I've been shooting? Is he... Still visible over here, yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna shoot him. Go for it. That is 30. That'll hit. Okay. D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d. Oh, and Percy, I forgot to add 15.

Nine additional points of necrotic damage from the hex. I forgot to add that to the damage you were taking. But you forgot. God damn it. Okay, are you, are we rolling on? All right, nine additional points with chronic. He can go all night long on.

15. That's with one lightning damage. Damn it. Do you guys, that was it sad. All right. And then I'll do it again. All right. That's a fun thing.

Uh, twill-twenty, fuck. Shabbata ha. I can't add 23. 23 hits. Okay. Off of that roll. Holy cow. Oh.

Oh. Mm-hmm. That's a badass. And Tres is. Oh. Oh. 17 points with three lights. 17 points?

The other arrow snaps into her leg as she's trying to run past. She almost stumbles for a second and has to kind of... Jeez, they're all still staying. He does. I'm saying he's seeking us. Oh, and then I'm going to take my potion. Okay, go for it.

Yeah, fuck it. Vax, you're up. I would like to use my movement and my bonus action to run. I want a bee line towards the rogue. How far do I get? Over there? Yeah, straight towards him.

I don't care how close I get to the other time. The provasse or around it? Prevasse. You're going to jump? Can hop the crevasse. I'm running. I have 30. Yeah. Slide down. Moving at the speed, you're taking damage for each unsuts. You take six

points of piercing damage, one point damage for each square that you run past in the glass. Oh, six points per square? Per square. Wait. Oh, no, one point per square. Oh, right. So that's as far as I get with movement and dash, bonus action dash. Then you can... Yeah.

I kept forgetting the glass aspect of this. That's as close as you can. And I use my action to keep going, and as I close in, I shout out, Kynin! You're with us. You are not with them. You are with me. Stop this. Move behind us now! Kind of total of 18 points of piercing damage. Who's Kynan? Is he the one on the thing?

He's the, is he the beige? Is he the supposed to? They don't know. They don't know. They don't know. They have to be a climb check to get up. Next round, that's as far as you can get. You're kind of running through the Kroval. It's all happening, they don't know. Yeah. I ducked back behind that tree after I shot, by the way.

I ducked back behind the tree when I shot that person. Okay, there you go. All right. Charisma roll, persuasion, anything? For this one, as you're ducking through, you're shouting it out, but you don't even know if he's really paying attention in a moment. All right, ending your turn, Keeleth, you're up. All right, I am burning my seventh level spell

and just gonna really fucked up behind Tree Kit. I'm going to think about the heirloom tools on the beach and what they just did. And I'm going to cast whirlwind. And I'm going to aim for the mage on the crevasse booby. All right. All righty. Right. Right on the nip. All right. So it's a 10-foot radius. We ruin everything he makes. Anything you do, we will take. Anything you do, we will take. turned into preschool math.

Oh, God, I just saw it. So a 10-foot radius. Oh, you built this looks like a dick. Okay. I'm gonna kill all of you. No, no, don't come on. So you're fighting in the 30-foot high cylinder.

So you're just creating it here? No, no, over top of the mage. I have a 300-foot range. All right. So the world one. Do you want to hit that? You guys watch as the wind kicks up. Can I get the guy in the crevasse?

The 30-foot high. Technically, yeah. Yeah, it was suck them all up. So you watch as the cloud, a cloud begins to appear above and shoots down an instantaneous funnel. A tornado slams down into this crevasse as Kiel's eyes glow her reaching out and drawing it to the ground. All right, it sucks up any medium or smaller objects that aren't secured objects. Preachron is make a dexterity saving throw the first time on a turn that it enters the world window, the world one enters its space. So you both have to make a deck save. The maze.

That's an eight. That's a nope. What a lovely number. Goliath. It's a 19 and 18 plus one. What's your DC? 19. It succeeds. Fucking. Wait, the mage? The Goliath does. The mage does not. Oh, the Goliath? Whatever. It's a 10d6 bludgeoning damage if you could. What? 10d6. 10 D6. It's like Christmas. One, two, three, four, five. Okay. Ignore the ball. Oh, that's fine. Oh yeah. Okay. So that's, wait, what was that? What was that, Talison?

I just pushed it. No, that was, it was four. It was a four. Okay. I believe it was a four. Okay. Six plus five is 11, plus four is 15, plus another four, it's 19, plus another two, it's 21. Roll them again, that's five.

That was five. 21 plus. Plus, not as good this time. What did I say, 21? 21. 26. 30, 32, 35. 36.

Does he get flung? The Goliath grapples on to like some of the shards of broken glass and while taking the blushing impact manages to stay in place. The mage has to make a strength saving throw. Become restrained in the spell until it ends. Or it rolls a tree. Yay Yay. Oh buddy. So wait is he restrained or is he flung? Because it's kind of vague on what happens. I was personally I was I was flung. I was flung.

He was flung. Restrain means speed becomes zero, tackle is going to have advantage. It has disadvantage on dexterity saving throws. So he's just in a back- He's stuck in a tornado. He is also a Tornado.

Sticked. He can try and use his action to break free and then it is hurled from it. But right now it is currently held. Oh, if he tries to break free, he's, well, that's fun. He's literally got nowhere to go. When it starts his turn, he begins being pulled up in the air inside.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never done this before, so this is cool. Yeah. That's pretty cool. All right, cool. And you can use your move to move the whirl in 30 feet. So basically, now that he's restraining it, if you move the whirlwind elsewhere, he goes with it.

Can I do that now? Or next turn. You know you didn't use your movement. I didn't. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. So yeah, you can move it. You can move up to 30 feet and possibly pick up other things if you want to.

Oh! Directly nearby, but you can start moving. moving it in a certain direction. Hey, you don't move it my way. No, we don't actually know where Ripley is. Pick up that little piece of ship rogue. That's true. Where is Ripley last scene?

That's probably what I would try and do here. Yeah. I would push it that way. Okay, so leaving behind. Come on, get to her, good to her. Is where you're gonna want to leave it there. Currently, just held up inside that. That sucks for you.

All right, Akila, end your turn? Yep. Yep. Can he just not do anything while he's in? He's fucked, yeah. That's awesome. He's stuck in a tornado. Unless if it hits Ripley, does she, like, diffuse it?

We don't know. She has to save from it. She either gets sucked up in it or flung. So she's going to get fucked either way. Or nothing. I don't know. But then we know she works. It's not necessarily a spell on her.

I made a spell around her. As you're casting this spell and holding off, the hooded thug, the younger man, runs behind and flings a dagger in your direction. Kynyn, little shit. She's got cover, by the way. Yeah, you do have half cover on that, which adds... No, we can't kill Kynan.

You can't kill Kynan. Kill him. I can't kill Kynan. I apparently can't kill anyone. Yeah, that's what you gave me. Yeah. Three-quarters covers plus five. I think it may be plus two for half cover.

It's... I'm kind of hiding... I'm using Trinket. You're like three-quarters cover behind a tree. No, Trina Bear. I'm using Trinket as like... I'd say it's three-quarters card. Plus five, that's fine.

Not really good. No. So that would be, you get plus five to your AC 24? What's your AC? Would I get plus five? Yeah. That hits. That hits.

That's my armor class is 17 plus five, so it's 22. Yeah, it still hits you. Okay, so flings the dagger, this black curved razor-rised-light dagger sinks into you. currently no sneak attack damage, but you do take... It's okay. I swear to God, if he drops, we have got it. 16 points of piercing damage to you. Oh!

Okay, all right. I need you to go ahead and make a concentration check. Uh-huh. Does you roll a constitution saving throw? Um, why don't I have to roll over? Roll over? It would be 10 or higher. It's a pretty...

Don't roll up. So Constitution saving from. 10 total. You make it. You make it. You maintain concentration. However, as the blade hits you, you watch, as it was thrown, you notice. Shifts into shadow and goes after the blade vanishing.

The blade strikes you, and then suddenly Kynan's hand appears where the blade stabbed you, and he appears next to you. That's sick. Where? Up on the log right there. Oh, good. Not too. You still want to move.

Kahn! Hats up. You see him kind of just shaking the sweat on the face. That ends his turn. It is now the Barbarian, or not Barbarian, the Goliath's turn. There, he's going to attempt to make a Fuddick to climb. That's enough. Oh, I know.

Gets up, just barely to the top, and that's not going to be enough to really do much else in her turn, unfortunately. Sparta. Kind of messed up everything she's been trying to do. Right at the field. Gets kick back. What? She was a shield, right? Boop, boop.

Yeah, shield. Climbs up, kind of like wipes off the blood from the side of her mouth. Uh, Scanlan, you're up. It's a very muddled playing field. Yes, it is. And I'm so far away from everyone. I'm going to yell, Grog! Hold on to something, man.

And so I'm going to cast... Reverse gravity right there. Oh shit. And get everyone over here. All right, hold on. Reverse gravity, 100 feet. You could totally get it over there. Yeah, 50 foot radius.

So yeah, it's gonna get. And Ripley if she's not immune to it. So yeah, you can get everyone in that, including Grog. Sorry, Grog. Come on, take a free ride. Grog, make a dexterity saving throw. Hold on to some Jaggs. advantage against the spell.

That's not great. That's a six. Nope. Wow. You're going on a ride. Two and four. The gunner fails. The Goliath fails.

Interestingly enough, the mage is unaffected. Interestingly enough, the mage is unaffected. Because he's not affected by gravity. He's currently being held in a whirlwind. Okay. However, go ahead and at the full hundred feet high, everyone hits the very top of it, and then you can choose to then either maintain it or drop them immediately. They're gunners, right? There's a gunner there, and

there's the Goliath Warrior. I'm gonna hold them. Okay. I'm just gonna hold in place, and let's all go around by Ripley. You can like... With swords out, guns out. And you can, you can totally do the point break, like mid-air, combat. Terminal velocity. Yeah, Turbo velocity, is it point-franc the one where they keep jumping on of airplanes? Wow, that is so high. That is like, hell yeah, man. Almost a bong. Sorry.

Cool, super cool, guys. Super cool. So they're all currently now like, Unable to attack, unable to really do anything well up from there. Just think if it had been percy, he would have thrown up. So. I hate the Tower of Terror.

Other than the mage and maybe Ripley, everyone's on. Oh, no, and the fucker. Kynan. Yeah, he's over there, and there's Gunner over there. No, yeah, Kynan's next to me. No, that gunner should have been in the radius. 50 foot radius. 50 foot radius. I cast it right where, what's right there.

Yeah, yeah. That would have put deck save on them. They, that is a 21. What is your DC? 21. So it just makes it. So it's barely holding on right now,

like reaches over and grabs part of the tree. It's like, ugh. Does that mean he can't fire his gun for as long as the spell is up? Seemingly. All right, good to know. Well, I'm up in the air again. You'll be, of all the people

who really shouldn't be in the air. I'm up in the air again. It's like Dragon Boz-D-L-Leges- You're totally on the ranch. Prevent themselves from falling upward, like getting a root part of the tree and it's like, uh, stuck there in the moment.

Uh, do you want to move? You want to move? Yes, I'm gonna move. Jesus, what's the fastest way to get across the stupid crevasse? I would, uh, whatever you feel like. Through it or around it. I would go flip to you.

Get a little, some ouchies in her. It'll take me like a minute to get all the way around there, so. You ride on Bigby's hand through it? Eventually she's going to end up near, like, like, yeah. Can you dimension door? I can't do shit while I'm casting a spell. Oh, that sucked, man.

I'm just going to start walking, just start walking around the circle. This way? Yeah. Do you have any healing bonus actions? I do have a healing bonus action. If you want to die. I am really low and I just can't get up higher.

As you're running across. Grog's taken none because Grog's rage essentially halves the one point you take per walk, so you just don't take any damage. Fuck these Legos. Everyone else's been barely moving, so they haven't been kind of doing half move.

Right, so you take one point image per square. Okay. Just like, feathered and glass. All right. So you're dying? Okay, so I'll turn to Vex and I'll heal her. I'll just sing, I heal you, I heal you so bad. I heal you so bad.

It's driving me, man. It's driving me, man. I love those. All right. And what level are you casting it as? Two. Two, second level. All right, two D4 plus six.

Twelve. So points healed to you, Vexam. All right. The mage who's currently held in the whirlwind. Let's see here. His options are pretty limited, if I recall. He diarerias on himself. They just restrain.

Restrain, you can still do things while it's in the whirlwind. It's just, it can't move, and tax doesn't have advantage. It's a tax. You can just go, oh, Toto. It has disadvantage and stuff like that. Toto. Hot Toto. Oh, Toto.

Hot Toto. What? That's that evolved real quickly. What did we just do? I have no idea. Oh, cool. You guys, apologies for the delay. The dice sticks to the magnets on the boxes.

Oh, the metal was apropos of nothing. Oh, that's cool, really? Yeah. Oh, yeah, okay, that works. Oh, it does. So the page, who's currently a huddle off and like, looking about, looks over at the source of the whirlwind, puts a hand out and goes, you watch as an arc of lightning,

arcs over. Oh, shit. in the direction of Keyleth. What? What? It's on Keylet there. It can just arcs past. Is it gonna be able to hit?

Take down the MVP. He doesn't get through? No fucking shit. He doesn't get thrown? He doesn't get thrown? What a dick. No, the throw is when he breaks free of it. Right now he takes damage at, uh, where is it?

Yeah, but basically just does the damage and then it holds them in place and you can basically control where they are. Uh-huh. This is the fun of it. Dammit time. It's restrained. It's restrained. It's held. within. Thanks. Just making sure I'm not missing any of the elements here. First time I turn that enters the whirlwind or that the world one enters its space, including when the whirlwind first appears. Yeah. So yeah, it doesn't keep taking damage. It's just

being held aloft right now, and you can move over other guys as you continue to press to do more damage. So anyway, the arc of lightning. The arcs over 150 feet distance. Hitting towards you. I need you to make a dexterity saving throw, Keyleth? Do I have a belike advantage I'm behind Trinket or anything? No, it doesn't not be magic. Unfortunately, it's pretty, especially it's... I have advantage because my armor is... You do, so yes.

You do, so yes. This is true. So go ahead and... Exteriority saved throw. Oh, two but twelve, it's not great. 17. Mm, does not... Does not help, unfortunately. It's 10D8 lightning damage.

There is no way that the guy who's currently got a knife stuck in there is gonna get some of this. We'll find out in second. Just asking. I can't tell them what she's going to be able to last around the next round. That's okay. There are options. 78. Don't worry. So Keel if you take 59 points of lightning damage. Oh shit. Fuck. I take what?

59 points of lightning damage from the chain lightning spell that just hit you. Oh, wow. That's a power. What kills you in this game? Uh, what? Hitting zero is unconscious and then going past your total HP. Yeah, yeah, I have to go past my total. Yeah, you're fine, you're fine. Negative 115 or something like that. Well, I'm negative 58 now. No, no, no, you're zero now.

Now it's just death saving through. I just go to zero. Yes, I don't go negative. If you don't go higher past your total HP, take it from us. We've been unconscious. You're fine. But do I still have to count going negative? No, no.

Now it's just a zero. You fall unconscious, the whirlwind vanishes, and the mage kind of, floats a hundred feet in air. Fults prone. Thunk. Does he take falling damage? Does not have any, cannot grab on anything

because it was actually lifted up in the air, so the mage is now 100 feet in the air. Yes! Oh. Yes, Scalyn! Yeah! That was a series of poor life choices. Yeah, it was! However, three bolts then leave from the target

to as many as three other targets. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. First. That includes Scanlan. So Scamlin, so Scamlin. Scanlon, Percy, and Trinket all get a bolt. He's not gonna get hit because he's touching her

at the time that she gets hit. Yeah, Kynan, Kynan doesn't get hit? He chooses the target. He chooses. All right, so I need Percy, Scanlan, and Trenkett to make a dexterity saving threat. Oh shit, this is about to get very bad. Oh, thank God. Come on, come on, come on.

I get to inspire myself on the same. Not on the saving, not unless you already have this. Six. 12. Oh my God. Oh, my God. It's an ability check. Get ready to fall there, Grog.

Oh, really? It's about to happen, really? It's about to happen. Oh, man. Remember those breakfalls you practiced, like in basketball and high school? Do that. Yeah, from six feet up.

Yeah, not a hundred. The ability check for you and that's okay. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God, you're gonna die. 12? 12. 23.

23. God. Six. Oh, shit. So you took how much? How much damage from the 59? Yeah. 59 points of lighting damage to you.

Oh. Oh. Goes unconscious in the ground. 30 fuck. Does that. Percy, you take Ah. B2B2.

38 points. I've got a small healing spell. 38? And he does too. Or we, no, sorry, half of 59. When one? 20, 20, 28. 29.

Yeah. 9 points of lightning damage to you, Percy. Well, I gotta do some math. Oh my God. Are you out too? No, I'm good. Come on. I'm good.

29. Okay, okay. This is... 20, you're 11. Yeah. 59 points of lighting. Trinket is unconscious. But doesn't he go,

back to the poker ball? She has to go over and pick him up. No. No, he goes back. If he's unconscious, he goes straight into my polka ball. If I'm within 100 feet. Yeah. So Trinket turns into a little burst of dark bear shadow

and shoots into your necklace. Bear, sh. And everyone falls. And everyone falls. No, no, no. Why? Yeah, because I'm dead. Unconscious. Me and you, man.

We're out. It's 10. Everybody wake up. I have some loony-toe shit, like, and the head just stays there, then shoot. Looney Tunes, like. Yeah, Looney Tune. Everyone looks down for a second and processes. So.

Sorry, Wile E. E. That is 30 points of bludgeoning damage. On the fall? Yeah, you take half. Because you can still maintain your rage while up there. So you took 15. Persistent rage, baby.

Exactly. The gunner splats just good. A messy splat of red crimson on the ground. The blade margreens the odds as we all go

unconscious, they all go unconscious. Impacts is alive but hurt and it's like on the ground kind of jaw. Does she fall into the 20 foot crevasse? Yes, and then takes an additional...

Do it. Come on, die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Um... Actually, let's see she eventually make a saving throw to stay in it.

She actually lands on the edge, because that's where she was standing before. Nope, not with a five. So that's an additional 13 points. Damage. Oh, she's looking rough. Yeah, but that other gunner is gone. That guy's fine who's been holding on. The mage takes...

It's already taking some hits. some hits. Get a little bit of a rage. Some age splats. Yes! Yeah, he does! Fuck you! Yay!

With your eyes closed. And, you're prone on the ground there. That's it? Just 15 points, that's it. That hurt me. My hit points are actually in the double digits now. Oh, wow. That's rare.

I know. I'm a little bit. Is he only different? Upper 90s. Mine are almost in the singles. They're like almost 100 hit for me. He's fine. It's your jerk. At least one of us, so long.

Everyone. Fuck and shit. Okay, first thing I'm going to do is, I'm going to this is such a bad experience on every conceivable level. First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to run up to that jerk with the knives, and I am going to press my left hand with great authority,

especially considering I've just taken another bolt of intense electricity and I am going to Iron Man the living just in he's just on the on the head. I'm just gonna on the head I'm gonna just do it. Wait, you can use diplomacy? I'm going to use diplomacy for the first have you ever used this second time we have ever used diplomacy. Yeah go ahead and we have no idea. I actually have no idea how to roll from an attack for this I have no idea how it works so for this I can just roll and tell you what I roll. No, roll it 20 you add your proficiency bonus of five plus your strength modifier. That's embarrassing. Okay. I know. It's okay. You'll roll a natural 20 anyway. You know what? For the, I just rolled. He'll be okay. And it's a, okay, unless

you've got something to add to that, because that is a sad number that you're just, that you just threw at me, but it's fine, you'll be fine. I would say, unfortunately, because you're not a monk, it's going to be strength. It's just okay, it's a physical act. Okay, because it's just touch, like I don't actually have to put any. What is it? What's your, uh, it's a 20. It's a 20. it's 22, is what I rolled. What are you even worried about? I am horrified by what's going on.

You're touching him, how can you not hit? 16. Yeah, you're fine. But my strength is a one, so I'm horrified. But you do actually strike. Okay. All right, Mr. Darry. Oh, God. So he's gonna go ahead and make a Constitution saving throw.

Natural one. Yeah. Although, I love when the dice make narrative work. Oh. I love when the dice make narrative. So go ahead, roll. The lightning charge earlier? An additional charge?

Technically, if it's one long rest, I may be at three charges. Two or three charges. So 3D6. Okay, that'll do. You're worried about some random little. Sure. Ten points. I'm there, you're there.

Ten points, all right. 80 feet far. Ten points of damage. Your girlfriend's on the ground. And Kynan is stunned for the round. You want to save that on your action, go for it. I also need you to roll another D20. the D20.

Oh, for that? Just roll another D20. Mm-hmm. 11. 11? Okay. Diplom. The world of Sonic the Hedgehog has been thrust into a not-so-dark, not-so-stormy, hard-boiled detective story

I'm going to see shorts out and it's probably need to be repaired. That's fun. He's stunned? He's like, the electricity hit and he's currently shocked and he's going to be stunned. He can't do anything clean next round. Okay. Am I close? In theory, I wanted to be touching distance to Keyleth.

Yes, you are. Can I use a bonus to feed her a potion or is that a full action? To feed somebody a potion, that's a full action. All right, next round. Yourself is a bonus. All right. That requires you to pull it out, grab us somebody. open their mouth, pull off the cork, pour it down,

and make sure they swallow it. Okay, that's fine. And then for the rest of my action, I'm just going to, after that, two slashes with the sword just to finish it up, and then hop down. Go for it. Do I have advantage because he's fucked at the moment?

Oh yeah, no, he is stunned, so attacks have advantages. Okay, so let's do two little slashes. Technically, technically it's incapacity. Natural 20. Oh, they're both crits. Oh. Because he's stunned?

Because he's stunned. Yeah. Oh, and so I'm just gonna roll. crit damage. That's funny. Wait, are you just wailing on this kid? I'm just gonna wail on this fucking kid because no, we do not have time for niceties. So that's 48. Try and leave something that resembles baby food. Maybe.

14. Uh, 20. Double dice, then add bonus. Yeah, 34 points of damage. 34 on the first strike? No, that's 34 total. Total? Okay, 34 points of damage. As you, whoosh, and start carving up the currently paralyzed.

the currently paralyzed man, you know, the armor kind of separating with each slash, the red crimson meeting to pour from the wounds, the eyes are quivering in fear. I'm going to then hot down next to her for, and, and, okay, on that side of her, so that I can deal with that. Okay. Thank you. It's person's turn. Grog, you're up. Can I stand out, please? Yep. Vex next time you see. He's 25 feet of movement if you want it. Who, oh, see, who's down in the crevasse down there? That's the Goliath. Who's the other one in the crevasse?

Sighter. Oh, can I slide down to the Goliath? You can? You can? She might be able to see it from her perspective. She is where she can. Uh, you, uh, if you slide down to meet her, with that type of force, you will take, uh, seven points of piercing damage, reduced to three.

Okay. Two points of preish down. Uh, should I make, is she prone? Uh, she is prone, yes. Don't get advantage on that anyway, then? You do. Can I make it great weapon master, please. You may.

Thank you. I should take a potion as a bonus action. That's even better. 18 plus 32. No, minus 5. Yeah. 28. 28.

Can I pop in a bonus action I meant to take just like a potion anyway? For himself. For myself. Sure. Thank you. What's a regular ad? Regular is 1D4 plus... That's it?

No, 2D4 plus 2. Thank you. Sorry. Is it rock? 32 points of damage on the first one with the great weapon master, five of which is necrotic. 32 on the first one. Yep. Like a life is dead. Yeah. That's a 28 for this, uh, 20, 23. You slam the axe down once into her chest. She, ugh, gives out there and grabs the blade to try and pull it out from the wound.

You just put your boot down on her face and push her away, pull the axe up. How do you want to finish her off? How do you want to do this? Man, doesn't it suck when you don't even get one fucking head? Oh! Oh! And I'm just gonna bring it down, clean on the forehead, because I would like to see what her brain looks like. Ewe.

Ewe. Hannibal. It's purplition gray, given the force to the impact and the scattering at the top of the head against the stone glass. Yeah, she is no more. The body just goes limp. And as you realize, you're your foot on her, pushing her down.

You're actually pushing her down. the glass shards through her body that are going to jibbered, and you seem to be going to pierce through her. I'll give it an extra, shove. There you go. I have one extra attack, but I will. Ooh, can you hit?

Oh, no. No. No, I'm good. No, 25 feet. I probably can't climb out of there, right? You can slide down there. I could give you an athletics check to try and climb out, but you'll just barely get out.

just barely get out. That's right. Advantage, because you're raging. Having a heart attack right now. 20. You rage climb to the edge. Raid climb. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

And your turn? Yeah, that's it. All righty. Nope, nope. No. Brist gravity fucked up everything. Not die at the hands of this. Yeah, it did.

Yeah. That Galeath went on quite the ride. Down the crevasse, up 100 feet. up 100 feet down. She should write a book. It appears at the edge of the crevon. Oh, wait. She glances about and sees the state of her parting.

And then peers off in your direction. All right. She is going to go ahead and... She's got a broken gun right now. Well, she can take a bonus action to go ahead and attempt to repair it. Can she repair a bonus? All right.

DM says, what? Well, no, it would be for this. It's an action. It's a full action to repair. It's an action to repair. Action repair. That's true. Ha! That's a success. So she repairs it with her action. But she can't fire unless she has an action.

Can you realize? Can you really? It's even said my... God damn. God damn it. Oh, no, it's on the list. Don't worry. All right. This is meant to punish me for everything I've ever done. I'm well aware. First strike, she has two more grip points.

She's going to spend one to do a violent shot on you. God damn it. That is a... is a 25? 25. 25, yeah. Was it a very high roll. Are you still ducking behind the tree?

I'm still ducking behind the tree, but that's still hits. That still hits. All right, so that's a violent shot on match. She's going to send another grip point to do, well, let's do that attack first. So that is... Oh, that's a vis-a-fism. How many? How many?

25 points of piercing damage. Oh. It's two points second. 25 points of piercing damage. I'm gonna have to try and catch that because it's gonna fucking knock me out. So I'm going to attempt to snare that bullet. How often can you do your range stuff? Hmm? Snare is all range. No, ma'am. I'm trying to see how many times you can use it. I can do it once a once around. Turn is a reaction? Yeah, it's a reaction. That's pretty cool. All right, go for it. So I make sure. Uh, ah, I snare eight points of damage off of that. So that's how many points is that? It was

25. 25. You're still alive. So 19. Keep you alone. Oh my god, man. Is he so alive? One point.

Oh, jeez. Oh my God. Yeah, you're doing the one eye, blinky wink. Plus. Two points of decrotic damage. No, no. No. I'm not gonna fall.

Wait. Oh. I spent a sex level spell to keep you alive, man. What do you up? A necklace? Uh, the, the, for this, you are, Unconscious. Let me see this real fast. Okay. You'll see if it has a pert. I'm happy either way. Shit. No, that does not affect you this time. Okay, just checking. That's fine. Shit. Okay.

Ticking in me. The... Okay. So are you unconscious? I'm unconscious. You hit the ground. As you fall, the shadow around Ripley flares and you hear a voice go, go, yes. She aims and takes another shot at you. Mm-hmm. Oh. Yeah, that hits. You'll lose death saving throw. Mm-hmm. Third shot at you.

Second death saving throw. Okay. Oh my God. She shouts over her shoulder. Finish him! And... If we get taken out by single white female, I'm gonna be so well. She doesn't vanish.

There's a shimmer and she goes, He goes, curses. And runs 15, 20, 25, 30 that way. It's metal and hits. Right there. She shouts up the shoulder, finish him! This one over here, looking over to the side, goes and takes aim.

Is it his turn next? Yeah. God damn it. The gunners go next. Take it. I am currently, I do have some AC because I have some cover. Correct, and technically it is.

I don't know why I'm arguing with this because I'm amused by this entire process at the moment. The, uh, this is with the pistol. PIST takes a shot, the third bullet, Sinks into Percy's form and the breath fades to stillness. The necklace shatters around your neck, the one that Pike gave you, and a sudden burst of divine energy fills your body, and you restored to one hit point. Oh my, my fucking!

Are you serious? serious? Pike, saving the day when she's not even in her! Dude, that was it! That was... When did she fucking give you that, man? Before she left, before she left, before she left. She pulled it from under her bed.

Oh, I'm here it is, John... Oh, Joey, live another prayer. Oh, holy shit. Fuck. What? Uh... You just died, motherfucker. And yeah, that's gonna go ahead and end.

You're a dark angel. You're a dark angel. Kill grog. Do I see that, I mean, Scanlan, where was Scanlan on the initiative order? Is he before me or would he go after me? Scanlan goes far after you. I'm gonna run up to Scanlan and I'm gonna cast cure fucking wounds with my shit-ass healing at level four. So that's 4D8 plus four. 4D8 plus four?

Yeah? That's a C. asshole. My grit doesn't restore from, none of my stuff restores from death. Stop asking for anything. I am desperate because we are still so fucked. 28 hit points. Yeah.

Can I do anything else after I've done that? I can't shoot any arrows after I've healed him, can I? Do I get one arrow? No, because it has to be, you get two attacks. It's either you attack or you do something else. Okay. Then I'm gonna drag, I'm gonna, I guess I'm gonna run back behind the tree

because I'm a loser. Okay, you do, you do take, that is your movement to get there and back. You aren't taking these little steps, so that's gonna be six points piercing damage, just running across the glass to go to and from. Jeez, wheeze. That's not what it is.

Mm. Okay. Keep there moving. These crater moves. All right. End your turn? Yeah. Backs you're up.

Wait, wait, for my bonus action. Yes? I'm gonna cast hex, I mean not hex, hounters mark on Ripley. On Ripley, let's do it. I agree. She is hundred mark. I want to start moving towards my friends.

How far can I get towards Kielaith and Kynen and Trinket if on my movement? Need you to make a athletics check. Trinkets in the necklace. Oh, never mind. Athletics, she said? Yes. Which is a seven.

You can't get out of the crevasse. You try climbing and the rocks just breaking away. On my movement? On my movement. What happens with my dash and my action? Make another attempt. I'll do it again.

Fucking eight, nine. You get almost at the edge and the glass breaks and you slide back down into the crevasse. You're like, uh, back down. Natural 20. Oh. You just climb up to the edge. That's your turn, but you're out of the car.

And I'm gonna shout, Kainen, You have a heart. Think of a man. What are you doing? It's not too late. Make persuasion check. 17. Okay. No, sorry. 19. 19. Okay. That ends. Max's turn to Kieliff.

Oh, it's at the end of that. I need you to make a death saving throw. 11. 11, okay. I didn't lose one there. You have a success. I have a success. Um... Shit. Is now, Kynan is stunned.

The stun wears off at the end, but Kina is left there kind of breathing heavy, looking down at the two bleeding bodies before him, one that is eyes flashed open on the ground, and Kieleth currently just face down in the dirt with a little puddle blood around the corner of her mouth. At the end of Kedna's turn, Scanlan. Tank is down. Tank is down. You are conscious, but you are prone on the ground right now. around right now. Oh, what a crazy dream. Scanlan. Nope, it's real. Anything would be helpful right now.

Scanlan. I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. Tell me what you want, what you really, really want. I want to, oh, oh, oh, oh, I want to go fuck them up. All right, I run over the keyleth. So that's half your movement, you can move that far, and you take two points of piercing damage. Yeah, sure. I'll just, a healing word at level two, just to get her back to life. It's bonus action, so that's 2D4 plus six. Plus six is...

11. Oh. 10. No, 12. Pretty good. All right, you help you. Come to consciousness. I turn to Fuck Nuts over there and I'll send a fireball. She killed the fucking gunner. Okay, what's the range of the fireball?

It's a 150. Yeah. Yeah, that'll do it. All right. She would roll a natural 17 plus disadvantage on the decks. I don't know you're unconscious, so the hex is gone. I know the hex is gone. Oh, yeah.

And probably would have lost concentration later. That's fine. It's fine. And I'll do three charges. Making, okay. So it's 10 D6. 10 D6. All right.

So yeah, she makes her save on that. The gunner does not, the gunner does not survive this matter what you roll. The gunner you do is a crispy pile of ash thrown towards the back of, go ahead and roll a 10.5th damage. The guy like, whistle while you... 27, not very good. 27 halved to 13. The cloak flashed a bright blue underneath and it seems almost like some of the fires pulled into the the cloak and it begins to glow with like this kind of pulsing charge. She takes less damage than you expected. Okay. She takes some damage. Take some damage. Oh, okay. And you can now see this kind of like crackle across the cloak.

This is ripple. Yeah. All right. That's it. That's your turn. As the as the lightning's cracking around her, she goes, well sometimes you have to rely on those that prove worthy. The shadow that's around her shoulders kind of leaps off. And you watch as Orthax now appear next to her. Hello. The shadow is still connecting them. You watch as this long stretch of shadow kind of curls across and attaches to her leg. They're still bound by this tether of darkness. But nevertheless, they are both together on the field. And let's see. Orthax here.

Orthax is gonna go ahead and just there. and is going to go ahead and look towards you and go, I quarry now. Big. You are currently hit with the mark of vengeance. Is that a charm? Nope. You are just marked. A mart. Mm-hmm. Oh, Marky. With vengeance? That means, I have a theory, but I can't sound loud. I think you've been Mark of Virginia. That would be inappropriate. The form is kind of in a bad place right now. He's there kind of at a desperation, but there is such a

light coming down from the sky and you can see it's like, it's hurting its presence, but once again, an in desperate place. All right, up at the top. Yeah. Percy. Oh good, you're awake. Ah, fuck! I look at our little friend up there. I just get up a bit. I look at him. Just run. I pull out my gun and I take the two shots with a reload that I'm allotted.

add a Ripley. Okay. So. Oh, thank God it's the retort pissle, because that would have been really poor. That's 29 to hit and 15. 49 to hit and a 15? Yes, 39 to hit, 15 does not. Okay, that's fine. That's 13 points of piercing damage. All right. You see the flash of smoke off her shoulder, the impact. You see now her hair that's pulled up is now kind of like fallen in her face now, covering part of her in the front where a little bit of blood kind of curls at the corner of her mouth. I doubt he'll do well without her. And then I try and take cover. I'm just going to pull as much cover as I possibly can and take a defensive, much of a defensive. Do you have any healing potion? Oh, and I'm going to slug a healing potion for my bonus. Thank you. That's a good point. I meant to do that. I was literally thinking that. It's a greater which is 4D plus four. Yeah, go on, I'm fine.

Said Percy. Okay, I'm like, yeah, that's so sad. Alright. That's your turn? Buddy. Rog, you're up. I have one question. Yes.

If I wanted to try and double my speed or whatever, get around Orthax to Ripley, would I still be able to hit her at all, or I'd have to burn all my attacks to get to her? You would have to use an action to dash. And I have two other attacks, but they're not action. No, no, no. It's an action. to do two attacks. Right, and my bonus is the third, so it's, okay. So you may, let me double check real fast here, as part of your frenzy.

If you think, yeah. The frenzy's the bonus. Yeah, which means you would get one attack. I would. You would move, you would use your action to move again, and you would have your bonus action to do one. I grab my earring and I say Orthax or Ripley. Oh, fucking Orthax, really? sort of name I was hoping I wasn't gonna hear again.

Ripley. Ripley. Can I burn that to get all the way past. Oh man. I know he's like an opportunity if you do stuff. Yeah, add advantage. 50. Yeah, you get up right into her face. Her eyes go wide as you approach.

Hey, Jacob Mekel. Orthax does get an attack opportunity against you. Has advantage on attacks against a marked creature. Plus I did reckless, so, yeah. So that's a double advantage. Do you get to hit him back as you run by as your reaction? I don't know, but. It's 23 to him?

It does hit. All right. You take. Bowm, bough, bough, bong, bong, bong, bough. 18 points of, oh, no, I'm sorry. You had a banners in the roll. So that would be 24 points of psychic damage, as the claw just rakes through your body,

like missing in a corporeal form. and it just shocks into your system, your brain spiking with pain. Do I get retaliation? Is it a melee? It's a reaction to do it, so you could run past and whack, smack in immediately after. So you run, you get raked, you spin with the axe, and attempt to slam into it, using the momentum to keep charging forward. 26? 26, let it, go and roll damage. Literally attacking the darkness. This is what D&D is all about.

We attack. 27 with 5 points in the crada. 27? I might laugh off the product. All right. And I get all the way to Ripley? You do. No magic on Ripley.

The mark gives him advantage on attacks, but the sunlight is giving him disadvantaged, so he just gets a single, like a regular role against you. So anyone else is gonna have a harder time, but that's what the mark is helping him move. Right, okay. All right, so yeah, you get right up to Ripley. He's like, you know, gun's still in hand, seeing you just rush up Angrily with your one, angry, raging Goliath freight train of a gun.

individual what do you want to do nothing magic here bitch and I would go reckless great weapon master really please okay I've seen it reckless great weapon master I don't know what it means sounds good sounds great 32 nice price 28 28 that hits why have I not always doing great weapon master what the fuck is the matter with me 28 28 with a point in a chronic Eight points. Eighths, Arcoster. A little bit of blood spatters across the ground near her. She takes the wound and kind of shrinks away a little bit,

kind of clutching her chest. What the club not helping you with that one? Nice. All right. Is the new turn? That's it. Yeah, it's now her turn. First, she's going to go ahead and use her bonus action to use her second wind. What?

She gets to heal. She gets to fart twice right in front of you. Yeah, exactly. What is that beautiful fragrance your way? This is my sign-room. She, she's not attacking the railway. A fart in your general direction. She is going to, seeing you in the face,

she's like, and leans over, and is going to go ahead and fire at you, Percy. Can she make a ranged attack while she's... Okay. She can. All right. She's in melee. Yeah. I'm learning. I feel like I'm learning things here. Actually, she used your reaction to hit Orthax so she can move away from you without getting an attack opportunity. What? Right. She does take six points of damage to run, but that gives her a better angle on you. Yes, it does. All she wants. Half. I love her. She's going to use her.

Out of grid. No, she's one more grip point. How does she have one more? I thought she burned the boat. She's better than you, person. Fucking damage. No, I think you're right. No, she did use this. Yeah, she burned both. She did. So she's going to, she has one more attacking.

You're like the Olympian judging that a new... That is going to be a... I've had to deal with this shit so much. 9.4. 21? That does not. Oh, do I still have some cover? With the cover, yeah.

With the cover, it does not hit. Right. The fire is off. Mm-hmm. Natural 20. Oh. Fuck. gives her grip.

Yes, it does. Oh, boy. Wow, of all the things to roll. I have that coming. Yeah, you did. You have that coming more than anybody. I just broke my glass by bite. So that is.

17 points of piercing damage and four points of psychic damage. Has she not lost her? Oh, is the psychic damage attached or did she not? I know I'm like. Psychic damage is the thing you don't know. Okay, so the thing I don't know. So she didn't. Okay, it's just a thing.

Are you still conscious for it? I don't know, I'm going to try and catch it, so we'll see how that goes. I'm trying to find the die for that, which he seems to vanish. There we are. 17 points? 17 points.

All right, let's see what this does. Yeah, okay, so that's down to nine points. Okay, so is it 17 total? All right, 17 points of piercing damage plus 4. Second. Okay, 17, so that's 9 plus 4, so that's 13 points. I am still standing. Good, but bad. I am just like Rasputin here. This is getting ugly.

Third and final shot. Oh, God, she gets to shoot again. Miss fire, miss fire. Nope. That is a... is a... Last shot. 26 to hit.

Yeah. That hits. Okay. 11 points piercing damage. Plus a four seconds. Oh yeah, no, I'm out again. Hey guys, what's that? Ha!

But she's out of shots. Pike's necklace just goes. Pice necklace is gone. It's gone. All right. She's out. gone. She vanished. She vanished. Vex, you're up. Do I censor with my hunter's mark?

Oh, you're fucking kidding me! But she was, she ran her full movement, didn't she? I'm so sorry. She did move her full movement, yeah. She's got fancy things. Yeah. What do you do, Vex? I want to try to shoot where she was. Okay, go for it. Well, for two attacks. I just wanted to shoot one to where she was right now.

First attack? Okay. Yeah. Some bitch. 19? 19, seems to pass through. What are you gonna do? Um, I'm gonna, fuck.

I'm gonna shoot it, Worthax. Okay, go for it. We are done. Natural one. Oh, The air just goes high over the tree line and disappears in the distant jungle. Sweet, tight. Um, yeah, I guess I will,

I'm gonna get on my damn broom. Yeah. Okay. get up to the top of the tree that I'm at right now. Ooh, that is a bold, scaredy cat move. I'm just doing it so I don't have to take a point of damage every step I take. Okay, every step I take.

This may be the end. Get up at the top of your tree. Every move I made. Old move, coward. Up above the tree looking down into this kind of open area. And your turn? Yeah. Backs you up.

Where's where's Kynan at? Kynan's over here on top of the tree. Is he out? Is he just standing there? Standing there. He's saying he just got out of being stunned. I've been shocked with the diplomacy. Fuck. Wasn't she?

I'm gonna use my movement to get to Percival. All right. She is tethered or there. Not close enough. And not a physical death. I'll use my bonus action to get all the way. And I will cast lay on hands with my action to get him on his feet again.

Okay. Five headpoints. Yeah. Oh, this is getting Uncomfortable. Kynum. Getting? Down it up.

Kynan. Kynan. Kynan. Fucking Kynan. Just kill him. Ervin. Just kill him. You're all right.

You're all right. Spatian rule. Balls. Oh no, not bad. Because I'm a rogue. 17. All right, good to know. All right.

That ends your turn. Kieleth. Hmm, okay, so I'm waking up and the first thing I heard was grog saying Orthax or Ripley, correct? Correct? Oh, God, the fucking gods. And I'm gonna just throw down a daylight spell on the nipple. Who's grog's or? Get some son on those movies.

The Gravasse nipple on stage right. My stage right. The little now will be L. your stage left. Nipple stage right, even. Nipple stays right. Daylight on nipple stays right, please. That's totally natural. You're in daylight. So adding daylight isn't going to make a huge difference in daylight. High fantasy. But I thought like Orthax is all like a shadow fiend, right? Yeah, and he's currently in sunlight as part of this. And he's having a hard time. I thought it was like like we're

under tree cover, no. No, there's no true cover. No, the tree's not blown out of this area from the We're in direct daylight. It would just make daylight in daylight. You just woke up. I have burned through everything that's nice like that. Okay, never mind, I'm gonna get up and I'm going. I can't do that.

I'm done, I'm done. She's utterly burn. I'm going to, um, use your staff. Justiculate. Fucking Percy, kill him, and I'm gonna cure wounds for that level three. No, hold. All right. Fucking killer.

Fucking killer. I'm trying. This is your post-traumatic stress that we're dealing with here. Sorry, my issues have guns. Your issues do have guns. And your turn? I'm gonna do, it's 3D plus time. Okay, thank you.

You roll or I roll. I roll. I don't have any more. Yeah, 22. Yeah. All right. fucking killer. I'm trying.

Cahist is casting like a little and then I'm gonna actually take a bonus action to do a healing word on myself, just at level one. I got 1d4 plus six. Ugh. Is the tether between me and with the physical or? Do we still see? You don't know, I'm gonna mess with it.

And right now you see it kind of, the tether kind of reaches out right now and then dissipates, like it kind of just fades. I'm at 20 hit points. It's still facing this direction. I don't know physics work, man. All right, in your turn, Kielof? Yep, I'm still cropping up blood, kind of in the fetal position, trying to keep Percy alive.

All right. Kynan steps off the back of the log out of sight. Okay. That's good, that's good. It's a small gap beneath the log where Kynen comes out from underneath as you finish a healing spell and takes the blade and just jamming it. dams it right into your back.

Kynan does? Try to at least. That is 23. To hit me? Yes. Yeah. God, fucking down. Well, now he has to die.

This is your friend. That seals it, buddy. Your little project just killed your girlfriend. Did you go unconscious? We'll see. Probably, though. That is 4%. Eat that.

26 points of damage. Is that sneakie? Did he get sneaky time, man? I'm on, I was at 20 points. Over the top hid and then came underneath and got her. As soon as he sees you fall, he pulls the, he pulls the blade out and drops it to the ground. He goes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and like falls to his knees and just starts like shaking in place. I'll leave that up to your discretion.

That's the end his turn, Scanlon, you're up. I look at Keelith and I fucking heal her. The heel factory continues. It's like, heal, boom, heal, heal, oh, heal. Has anybody else ever been to a horse tranquilizer party? Because it was final.

And EpiPen. You can't afford to do them anymore, sadly. What? You are unconscious to you? I am awake again. Okay. I was, but now I'm awake again. Like hands on a hard body.

Level one healing word bonus. 1D4 plus six. Wow. Man, he's doing the smallest of the smallest. Nine. Nine, right nine. I don't like being a conscious. Okay, keep going.

Then I will. Someone's got to do this. And it can't just be grog. I'm gonna dimension door over right next of grog. Don't get me, baby. Next to grog? Yeah. Towards the Ripley side.

Away from over here. Yeah. And then I'm gonna use the rest of my movement to move around 25 feet and to go like this. this looking for Ripley looking for really good five points of piercing damage just running across the glass at you start waving your hands for you okay I find your sword out for a little extra use your sword to do it I can't I don't sure yeah whatever as you swing it around and you're moving around nothing maybe the

she goes into another dimension or something this is like the worst game of minesweeper I just want to point out yeah Now, let's get into Orthax. Mergo. Orfax is going to... Dimension door. There's a mons too on the field. Oh, shh.

Everybody wake up. No! Orthax is in our... He just banned. It's bimmed. It's right on top. And then would move over there.

There. I can move on there. Yeah, no, because you can jump through shadow. Everyone the two. Mom's found the kids under the car. As a smoke monster, wouldn't he hurt his featsies on the glass? Their shadow? What shadow? What shadow is it using? Is he using a moon shadow of the Legos?

Moon shadow. I don't see any shadow. It's shooting, rolling on that. He is going to use his rampage pulse. That sounds like an awesome band. Are we really all gonna die today? I know, your inner insecurities cannot be the cause of Vox Machin's death. I just don't point that out.

I'm aware. I'm aware. We're being... Can I have more wine? They focus. Talas, you are being killed by a metaphor, right? Yes, we are. Aren't we always? So I need Vax, Percy, Kieleth, and Kynan to all make a wisdom-saving throat.

Oh, my favorite. Oh, shit. Big, big guy. Oh, I am really not wise. I'm re-rolling that. That's actually pretty good. That's actually pretty good. Okay.

I'm done. I'm re-rolling that. Seven. Clith. 30 total. Oh my god. All right. So.

Percy, you take 10 points of psychic damage. Still conscious, though, right? Yep. Vax, you also take 10 points of psychic damage. You okay? All see. And Tinen actually does make his head, strangely.

With a really high rule. However, Percy, as you kind of feel the rampage pulse hit you, the eyes go red, and suddenly you're surrounded by shadow entirely, and you pull the gun over and you fire at something that's nearby. I need you to go ahead and make a single pistol attack with disadvantage because you're nearby against Keelith. With disadvantage. I was waiting for it. God fucking. Wow, you're just... This is here to hurt me.

This is crazy! All right, let's let's a pistol shop. with disadvantage. I'm up right now, so you're lucky. I never did a haircut. Three, so 16. 16. Misses. Yay.

Strikes the wood and splinters off. Fax, I need you to go ahead and make a dagger attack against Percy. That is a 17. Misses! Yay! You roll. I rolled a six plus 11 at 17.

That's slick. Percy is, however, prone, so you have advantage on the attack. Am I proud? Oh, yeah, I guess I am proud. That hits. That is a twenty-eight. It's not a sneak attack. Okay. What do you say, boss? It's not a sneak attack. It's not a sneak attack. That is a seven. Seven points of damage. Ow! That ends Orthax's turning. This is a shit show, man. Oh, technically I've burned an ammo. That's a burned a shot, too. Personally, you're up. Oh my god. She's not around, so you're up here.

I'm going to climb. Can I stand up and climb on top of the just get a little, he doesn't have an attack of opportunity against me where he is right now, does he? You'll find out. God's sake, don't risk it, man. I'm going to stand up and I'm going to ignore him. And I'm going to hold my attack till I see her. Okay. The second I see her. You're going to attack. You're going to attack. And there's a fucking bonus action. I'm going to drink my last potion. Which is a. a regular all right to do four plus two for duke 24 plus two yep 80 plus a cleric we need a cleric with us all the time Ashley Asholi oh my god we miss you right now yeah oh oh so I turn uh can I join Scanlan in the most Stevie Wonder search ever with my blood axe being my stick like you can also hold You can hold your attack till she appears again.

All right, I'll move over to where I am and hold my attack and just hope I bump something, bump into something along along. Okay. Betray your art. And I've got persistent rage, so I don't lose my rage. Good to know. All right, at the end of your turn,

she appears over there, poof. Wait, did he find her? Did he find her? No, she just moved. She baffed back in. Her turn came about. Two of you have reactions, or actions that have been held.

Percy and Grog. Kachish. Yeah. Reckless. You're not within range to hit her melee, so you can do one chain of returning throw attack. But the chain is magic. But the weapon has to be a attack. Or just throw the axe and let it sit there if you don't have the chain.

Are you sure it's magic? Are you sure it's just not a chain that he gave you? That's magic. Jain returning is a murder, murder, murder. Returning was inside you all over. Yeah, I'm gonna, uh, I'm gonna, uh, Murder. Yeah, I'm just gonna attach the chain and throw it.

Go for. Reckless, great weapon master. Okay. Which one? All right, Gil. That might... There's only one that could beat that one. So that's a...

32, minus 5, 28. That'll hit. We keep rolling that height. No. 18. 28. 28 with two points of necrotic. Only eight points of damage. Slime.

whams into her and the axe like slices and carves off like part of her arm. She's like, ah! The giant shadow claw that she still hands, has the other side, like clutching the weapon. She angly looks over her shoulder. Shit! Shit! Um, that's your turn? Yeah, you yank it back? You can on your next turn, got it. Um. Uh, sharpshooter shot, retort. Misses. Uh... 12. 12. Well, no. Sharp shooter shot tort. 20. 20. That would hit, but she used her reaction to use another shield. The bullet is deflected off an arcane shield on this side. She's like, ass off grog deflects the bullet this side. She's cornered and trying the best you can to get through this. That's all I got, because I burned an shot attacking Keeleth. Right. Uh-huh, so I have to reload.

Yeah, I just sort of, yeah, I'm just going to stare at her and the best thing I'm going to do is, no matter what today, I forgive you. But I cannot let you leave, and I'm just going to sit and reload. Okay. She is going to use her first attack to reload her pepper box. Okay. She is going to look over with her claw at hand. Actually, no, she doesn't reload. I'm sorry, she's the back. Supposed to reloading. She looks at her weapon, puts it in her offhand, takes her clawed hand, and points a finger over in your direction and releases a single beam of red energy that detonates there in the center as a fireball.

I will counter spell that at level six. Oh yeah, man. Bless you. Yes, yes. That's it. Scanlan. Scanlan for the win. Clutch. Okay, at level six.

I believe... I think we're good. There's a third level spell. Third level spell? Yeah, it's gone. She can't... That's six? Yeah, boom. She's not that powerful of a mage.

Multi-class doesn't go that far in a wizard. What was that? It was a fireball and she goes to release it and you just shout out towards it. I shout out. Anna, Anna, bobana, banana, banana, Bovana. Fuck you.

Uh, she's gonna go ahead and move. One, two, three, four, five, six. She's gonna take six points of piercing damage. And- Damn it! How can she still do that? Cloak, man, cloak. It's an effect that you are unfamiliar with.

Festage. Effect that you are What the... Coward! The shit, man. Now that you've been up close and seen the effect, go ahead and roll an archa check. He?

Yeah. Barred of many things. Please, please roll high. Please roll high. Yeah. 22. 22. You haven't really seen the spell, but you've heard in your...

There are a certain major, certain... Not too powerful magics that essentially cause individuals to occasionally blink into another dimension briefly and then come back out. I've heard of one. That's what I thought she was fucking doing it.

It's her turn, Vex here up. Right, after she disappears. Yeah. Great. I guess I will shoot at Orthax. Alrighty. Yeah, you are. Yeah, I'm gonna try to bramble shot him. Sure, go for it.

Okay. 31. 31. Which has happened over there. That is? Okay. It's like water splashed on a cat. Oh shit, I burned that.

Do I add anything to that damage? That it's just 48 piercing? 48 piercing, and you would probably add your additional weighty damage. So 16 with three lightning, and then he has to do a strength save or be restrained. Strength save. That is 19. 19.

He is not restrained. I'm gonna use my second attack. Okay. So the brambles reach up out of the arrow, wrap around him, all the thorns kind of constricting and tearing enemies. Actually, he, no, no, yeah, he doesn't have disbanded on same goes, just on his perception and attack rolls. So yeah, he does break free and all the brambles kind of shatter and break off around him. You go for your second attack, which is... 31. 31 hits, going to roll damage. Clutched counter spell, man. 18. 18 damage. Yeah. Nice.

It's insane. Yeah, yeah. All righty. So, so. Shit, bonus. That ends. Vex's turn, Vax, you're up. Anything with your bonus? I'm conscious. I'm going to use people being around orthax and just stab him a couple times. Yeah, you will.

There's nobody currently in melee or someone who is up against him. Really? Because you backed away from him. Or when you got up, you were still. No, I decided not to back away. Well, no, when you got up, that's the space you were in. Am I still? You still within Mili. He has a 10-foot reach. I stood up, too, to cast...

What was it that I cast last? Heal. No. Wait, something. No. The wine was a poor choice. I think it was a good wine, but it was a poor choice. You cast a heel on Percy last. That was the last thing you did. No, that was a long time ago. No, not heel.

You would have got up, but you were... Oh, I did cast... I cast... I cast... Yes, yes. I guess you're winning heels, so I'm up. You're still out of melee, I think. Am I? Fuck! All right, keep going. Or out of your own melee.

That's fine. Then I, can I take, go three squares north to the edge and hold my attack until someone steps up? Sure. You're still in his melee range, by the way. Within melee range. He has a 10-foot reach. Then I will continue along the edge

to that pointy crack in the ground. Right there. Keep you on yep. That will get you out of this melee range, but he will get an attack of opportunity on you. That's so right. All right. He will take his attack opportunity on you. At disadvantage. Yes, a disadvantage also because of the sunlight. So that's plus nine, that's 25 and 19. Misses. Just ducking underneath. All right. Finishing Vax's turn, Keelith, you're up. Oh shit. I'm up. Okay. You're alive for once. I'm fucking alive. I'm I'm so running out of options here.

Ripley's not on the board or anything, right? We only have Orthax in front of us. And all that's left? Until we hold and we wait for her to appear again, which he inevitably will. Wow, this isn't good at all. Wow, cool. All I have left is a thunder wave.

Yeah, that's fun. Do that. So in a fit of fight or flight in, what? What? No, go, go, go. That's all I got. In a fit of flight or flight, I, as I'm standing up, I smack down on the ground and hit a thunder wave around me, because that's all I have. 15 foot cube, you can do right there, not hit any of your party members,

and it'll hit orthax. It'll hit who, Vex? No, Orthak. Only Orthis. With axe, cool. Bam. So, has a constitution saving throw. As the Cox roll.

16. No, fail. So 2D8 thunder damage, go ahead and roll that, and it's pushed 10 feet right from you. Cool. 11 damage, no, sorry, 10 damage, 10 damage. 10 points of other damage. 10 points of other damage. It is reduced by half because it was resistances.

He takes five. All righty. Blast them backward orax, and I stand up and as a reaction, I'm gonna cast a healing word on myself again, once again at first level. Okay, go for it. And in Keylet's turn,

eight points. Kynan who's stolen the ground is kind of wrestling with the whole circumstance. Okay. Kynan looks up at Kila standing up after stabbing her and watching her fall. to be kind of really noticing both the tide turning and looking up towards you with the absolute face of...

I look at him and I just stare daggers right into him and kind of shake my head and wipes the blood off my mouth. I'm sorry. He grabs the dagger from the ground. Is she next to him? Yes, yes, yes. He's gonna... No, he's gonna kill me. He's right next to her. Right next to her. He takes the dagger, rears back with it. She flings it to the side towards Orthax. Yeah! Good boy.

That is from... Caden! 16, which hits him. Just barely, actually. Orthax technically is next to you, so he does get sneak attack. 23 points of damage to Orthax. And Kinen travels with the blade right next to him. Like he throws the blade and then vanishes in a puff of spoke and the dagger.

That's a fucking sick. He strikes into him and he appears right where it landed with the blade in his hand. How did he get so... Oh, that's it. Let's whisper. I'm going to attack now. All right. First one is 17.

Second one is a, as a 28. So first one with sneak attack damage is 4 plus 8, 12, 18, 26, 32, 36, 38 for the first, and second one is 10, so 48 in total. total. Wow. You slam both blades into the side of Orthax right now. The form itself, the shadow, sparking, and the sunlight you can see is kind of scarring and pocking the back of this kind of oily surface that is its muscled shoulder. Each blade strike that hits, you can see the black shadow pouring out, like a small waterfall of pure void. Orthax is kind of like, but with each damage he takes, his head doesn't turn, his face still locked in pure hatred. and vengeance towards Percival. And your turnbacks? Oh yeah, because that was your reaction. Scanlan, you're up. I'm going to, can I gingerly walk on the glass? Or we'll... You can move three squares and not take any damage. Will that be where she was when she disappeared?

She was right here, around there. So you can go there. I'm going to go gingerly there where she was. Carefully stepped away, all right? Draw my blade, get it ready to rock. rock and inspire. Oh. Wait. I can't say anything, can I? Sadly.

I'm an inspire myself. Because I'm a selfish motherfucker. You can add an inspiration die to an ability check as well. I see. You don't actually inspire yourself. You can't inspire yourself. You are inspiring to yourself at all time. at all time. That is true. Yeah.

It's right. Well, then I will inspire Grog. All rightyty. That's fair. Are you going to talk about how the Redskins lost the cowboys this last weekend? I'm sorry. Did that happen? Who?

You brought that up. The Washington team, whose name I dare not say? Is there football fan fiction? I'll inspire you with a dad joke. It's about fantasy football. It's another cow one. Oh, good. Why did the cow want to go to Hollywood?

Why? She wanted to be in the middle. Movie. Didn't even have to look. Didn't even have to look at all. That's really good. That's really funny. Just hilarious.

That's two mojoics I might add. And I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm holding my action. It's kind of our mascot. It's kind of milking. Oh. And in your turn that brings us to Orthax.

Orthax, glaring intently is going to go ahead and move his mark of vengeance to bonus action to you, Percy. I am offended. He's going to step forward. attacks of opportunity from Vax who is not here oh where did he go Vax ran to the bathroom also doesn't technically the young squire get a attack he's still in melee oh he's still in Milly so ameli technically um do want to go ahead and roll an attack for Vax yes that would be hilarious I trust you go for it don't fuck this up rolls for attacks how he rolls the spiky fucker

that hits go ahead and roll 1d4 plus whatever his bonus to one of his daggers is, which I believe. I hope he kills Orthax and isn't even here. That would be, that would be. 10? 10 damage, all right, 10 damage to Orthen. Kills Orthax when he isn't even here. Takes the hit, keeps walking forward,

straight towards you. As it walks up, takes both of its claws back and just unleashes on you, Percy. It would have disadvantage in the sunlight, but the mark gives advantage, so it's just a basic attack against you. That is 18 plus 9. 18 plus 9 to hit?

Wow, does that hit? Okay. That's crazy. And the other one is a 14 plus nine. That's a 23 to hit? Of course that hits as well. Okay. Just unconscious again. So the first hit is 2D8. A 48, because he has an advantage on... No, he doesn't have advantage.

It doesn't have advantage. It's 2d. It's nine. You delivered 10 points of damage while you were gone, by the way. That's cool. You did. You stealthed that hard. What happened? 21 points of psychic damage.

Oh, Jesus. Thank you. Yeah, Malik. You're out? Fucking fuck, this is not good. It's a claw slash attack? Yes. All right, 21 points of sound.

Second strike hits you, two death saving throws. Oh my God. Is it a crit within five feet? Is it a crit within five feet? It's a melee attack within five feet in your unconscious. It's two death saving throws. Yep. Been there, done that.

All right. Come on, Percy. Come on. Big money, no whammy. Where's that golden snitch? Where's your fucking golden snitch? Where's your fucking golden snitch? Where's your turn? Oh shit! Wait, is this it?

Is this it? This is it? Yeah, this is it. Come on, come on. Golden Snitch. Ten. I don't remember. I believe that is not a failure.

I believe it's nine or higher, right? I think it's ten or higher. You should know you rolled a fucking ten. It was on the money. Yep, ten or higher you succeed. Oh my god. Guys, let me see. Let me see.

Woo! Have the coolest character lined up, but okay. Can I see Scanlan prepare for the Bampfin? Can I move to the other side of the last place that I saw her? Scan is standing where she was last time. Okay, can I just move opposite of him? Like over here? Yeah, yeah, maybe a little bit further.

Sure. Yeah, and turn towards that space and I'll hold my action until I see her. She appears. Okay. No. Bitch. and two failures. All right. So, it is now hurt her. She is going to appear right there. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Wait, what one? Just out of reach of both you guys. Are you fucking kidding me? Wait, what is she, what, what, what? This is a five foot melee attack. She's just at a range of both of you guys. I'm throwing my sword! He's got to throw. You can still do your change in her turn. She's just, she's bamfing, is that what she's doing? She's bamphing. She bampfing. She bampen. She bamped out. There's ex fell to be around and you put your ass. So you can make your throw it.

Come on, man, come on. Reckless, great weapon. This will kill me, by the way. You! You! Goog. Oh, Grog. Come on, Grog.

Come on. That giant number again. That's 32 minus 5. 28. We're good. That'll hit. Killer. Killer.

Everything you got. Grog, killer. 30-32. 32. 32 points of damage. Yeah. As she appears, you. throw the axe and it's a very short distance.

So big amount of your physical strength is put behind it. The axe embeds itself, like right in upper torso abdomen. And she's like, ugh. It's still in her right now. She's like, no, no. Looks over and sees Orthax. I'm throwing my sword. You're gonna throw?

Yeah. All right, roll with disadvantage, no proficiency. I have advantage on my attack because I just defy it. So bad. With Carver. With Carver. Yeah, you'll have disadvantage. So just because your regular attack, we have no proficiency bonus.

You're not, you're not proficient at throwing weapons. So you're this is a serious penalty. Oh God, throw! Can you inspire yourself? Have you done that yet? No, you can't really do it. No, no, tilt, tilt. Tilt.

Tilt. What am I adding? What did you roll? 13. No, it's not gonna do it. Okay. You throw the blade and whiff, who just whiffs past her. As she appears, she takes one step, two steps,

There's there, past Grog, sees Orthaxius wailing on the corpse of Percy. Oh, in fact, another name. Off the sketch in fires. Can I do cutting words? Has a whole round been gone by since my last reaction? Yeah. Yeah. It has. It has. Yeah.

We can get to that. We'll see what she rolls. Wow. I mean, I don't know. Am I the first one ago? Shut up, shut up, shut up. And she has, because you are technically prone, and she has disdaintinged. I'm prone and I'm, yeah, I'm in shadow.

So that is a 15 plus, oh, no, 13, 13 plus 14, 27. With cutting word? I'm going to reduce her attack. Yeah, so go ahead. 27. 47, roll a D10 and reduce her attack by a D10. Roll a D10. Roll a D10.

You have to roll a 10. You have to roll a 10. Well, do I have, no, Because I have, I have a little bit of, do I still have my cover bonus? It is a giant mess in there. Does he have covers like he did before? No, he doesn't. He is prone, that's given the disadvantage. So you have to roll the 10. This is adorable. No. Why is this on me guys? Oh my gosh.

Because it's funny that way. Two. Two. Two. The bullet sinks into Percy. You hear the air escape from his lungs as orthaxonly flares. up with darkness. You watch as the end of the barrel, some sort of script that was carved in the side of one of the barrels flares away with a purple flash, and it seems like some of Ripley's wounds tend to heal a little bit. Splash one. She goes, it's time to go ahead and make an escape. I'm just gonna use a bonus action to Misty step that way. I can't. She's not next thing. And vanish.

Is my axe still in her chest? The axe, as she runs away, kind of drags a little bit behind her to the chain, and as soon as she vanishes, it falls to the ground. That brings us to Vex's turn. Are you down? Are you unconscious? I'm not unconscious. That's technically speaking. That's three. Her C is now devoid of life.

Can you do anything as a paladin? Can you do anything? Whose turn is it? It's my turn. I, um, trinkets in the necklace. I don't know. I don't know what I can do. I can do, I just... Kill Orthax. Yeah.

Kill Orthax. We gotta- We just gotta get out of this. That's literally your best bet right now, because I don't... Can you do something about this? This is necessary at the moment. You have nothing? I, he's got... Even if I had something, I couldn't do it. I just scream. I scream and I start shooting arrows at Orthak. Go for it. Go for.

Go four tags. Do you do something with that? Okay, never mind. Ashley is asking to Bampen. Would she have felt anything because her necklace went off? That hits him for sure. 15 plus 18. Ashley's texting quite a lot.

I'm not looking. I don't want to look at all caps. I've got 21 on the second hit. Both take, go wrong damage. 19.4 is lightning damage. All right. And 17, 1 is lightning damage. Okay. You're going to stay where you are up in the tree?

No. Can I, can I fly down and try to, I don't, no, I want to fly over where, closer to Percy, on the other side of the tree. Fly down this side? Yeah. Okay. That ends your turn, Vax, you're up. And I release Trinket. Trinket is currently unconscious. Unconscious. In your necklace. I'm going to attack Orthax. He's got people around him, yeah? Currently, yes. Yeah. Alive people?

Did I get sneak attack on Northex? Yeah, because he's in melee. So yeah, we'll sneak attack on that, so 2D6 to that. Eight. Eight more. Okay, that's eight. All righty. So, Vax. I'm gonna use sharpshooter on this attack.

Okay. That is a one, so that misses. I'm not gonna use sharpshooter on the next one. That is a 24. 24, go and roll for sync attack. One plus. Okay. Six, 11, 14, 17, 17, 23, 27, 31.

31 damage. And I'm gonna use my, ah shit, no I'm not. I'm gonna move, uh, where's Trinket? He's in the necklace. In the necklace, I'm gonna stay put. Okay. Back's his turn Keyleth, you're up. It's Jesus.

Uh, how close is Orthax to me? Right, I'm gonna get right in front of you. High Lon. In seeing Percy Fall, all I have left is Thunderwave, and I'm gonna do it at fifth level, because that's all I have left. Okay, under wave, Constitution saving throw. That's a ninth, that's a failure. So, at fifth level, that's an additional 40, 8th.

at 6d8 thunder damage. I rolled all sevens. So 7, 14, 21, plus... Oh, shit. Fuck. What did I say? 21 plus another 8,

which is 29, plus another 8, which is 37, plus another 6, which is... 43. 43 points of thunder damage. As you turn back at a frustration and blast forth this wave of thunderous energy, you watch as Orthax's shadow form is scattered for a second and falls into this kind of small pile of shadow on the ground that is now shifting for some sort of focus. It's just kind of fur around the ground like a slippery snake. Orthax is essentially at zero hit points. That ends Keeleth's turn. Scanlan you're up. I walk over and pick up my sword slowly. Okay.

And... Five points of piercing damage to go over and get it. Even gingerly? Gingerly, you can't quite get to your sword. And hold my attack in case maybe he should... Okay. You can hold a spell, too, if you want to. Oh, holding a spell.

What spell you're holding? I think she's resistant to it, but I will hold Ote-Luke's resilient sphere. Okay. Good call. All right. So that ends your turn. Back up at the top. Grog. I go get my... I go get my axe because I'm still raging. Okay see I you pick up the axe right there which is where it was kind of on the ground after she vanished.

And I hold my action then in case she comes back. Okay. Any of your turn she appears? She does. Yes. I will encapsulate her or attempt to... Volatux a Brazilian sphere. Oedoulouse. All right. Dexterity saving throw against a DC of... 21. With disadvantage. Because of... Because I cutting words to her. It's true.

That would be a 16. The sphere encapsulates her. She is now currently down within the sphere, and she looks about, suddenly going... What the heck is going on? You can curse. It's okay. You killed one of us. Okay. Everyone gather around. Her. I'm not leaving Percy.

I'm gonna drop this thing and we're all gonna fucking kill her together. No. Yes, we are. She stands there, she can't, she goes and fires at the wall. She just kind of does and has no effect. I, uh, looks over the shoulder. I, um... I have three attacks.

I get, I'm slowly walk up to her with the sword and the hands. I'm walking over as well. Okay. Well, first at the end of her turn, the last round of the blink spell, does not go off. The role didn't happen? Yeah, and this is like the blink. She didn't blink out, so she's now locked in the sphere, and she's starting to look about extremely nervously. The shadow of orthax comes and kind of finds her and is beneath the orb and can't quite get through. Nothing, no magic can happen in the orb.

You guys all work towards and bring yourself towards the edge. We'll say, I'm staying. I'm staying there. We need you. I'll shoot her from a distance. Okay. Get ready to. All right. It comes through, we'll say, for sake of brevity here, comes back to Scanlan's turn. Everyone's holding their action. I'd like to hear right up next to the orb.

I do as well. I'm getting up on the log so that I can get a clean shot at her. Okay. Vax, you with us? Yes. Kynan actually walks along with you and heads up. Ready? When you are.

Her hands are around the orb right now. Her eyes are darting and right now. She's trying to find a way to think her way out of this. You see her face kind of flash in a couple ways. She looks around cunningly at all of you and kind of smiles. Percy's killing you right now, not us. I drop it and we all attack. Oblivion. All right.

Go ahead and roll. Croc. Roll your three attacks. Reckless. Great. Everything. Vex roll your two attacks. Vax roll your attacks. Scamlin. 29. 26 and 32. God damn it, Gil. You better not fuck me. Not bad, Gil.

26 and 22. Are we just doing melee attacks or like spell attacks? What? Spell attacks is fine. She doesn't have a whole lot of energy left in her engine, and we don't even need to roll damage, because how do you Vox Machina want to do this? I want to sink my dagger into her arm and sever all around her shoulder and rip her fake arm off of a body. The arm just plummeted to the ground, the shadow kind of still coalescing it where the wound is. The shadow of Orthax kind of shoots up into where the exposed wound is.

With that moment, who does what next? I'd like to carve the Dorolo crest into her forehead. As she's clutching this, you reach forward and grab her by the throat, her eyes wide, and you just slash across. You can see the, right now she has no strength to resist. I'm gonna take the axe and go straight across her navel. I'm gonna take a grasping vine and choke her around her throat. The vines wrap around and hold her in place. Vex?

One an arrow straight through her heart and one in her mouth as she screams. The scream is cut short as the arrow finds itself placed in the back of the skull. The other one straight to the chest. Grog, your blade cuts through the midsection as the other grasping vine pulls the lower half down. Ripley is entirely torn asunder in a final silent scream. The shadow of Orthax dissipates, sputters, and vanishes. The battlefield grows silent. You all turn, look back over your shoulder and see the still body of Percy against the tree trunks over there.

I'm still going to try to cast cure wounds on it. I do the same. And that's where we'll pick up next episode. Ever open up your podcast app, scroll forever, and still not know what to listen to.
