Hands up! All right, great. That being the case. I don't know. I don't know what this. Let's go ahead and dive in. Watching yourself under the table. To the first,

No. No. Oh boy. Oh, boy. Oh, Hello everyone, and welcome back. So, getting us up to speed with the current circumstance that we left off at the end of the last episode. Vox Machina, the band of adventurers, spending the better part to this past year under the shadow of the chroma conclade, a group of ancient chromatic dragons that had banded together, seemingly under the banner of Thorac, the Cinder King, a great red dragon that had been a great red dragon that had been a group of ancient chromaticed together, a group of the

the banner of Thorac, the Cinder King, a great red dragon that had been sealed in the fire elemental plane for a number of years. Newly released and carrying with him what was called a soul anchor, a magical artifact made from the heart of a fire primordial that had begun to cause him to mutate, swell, and become something beyond what he was, also driving him apparently insane. As he dominated the countryside of Taldore, along with the rest of the conclave, you gather artifacts of great power called the vestiges of divergence under the guidance of two Sphinx allies. You travel between various planes, and gathering these artifacts gathered allies and prepared for this climactic confrontation in your home city of Yaman, now partially brought to ruin and flame.

You assembled an army, you snuck beneath this city, you arrived, within the center of the Cloud Top District, nearly under the nose of Thorac's defending hordes, and through a climactic seeming sacrifice by your friends, Kishaw, and Zara, were allowed to pass directly into the Cloud Top, heading off Thorac before he could emerge from his subterranean layer

and lay waste to the armies as they pushed inward towards his layer. There, you all did battle with the great colossal Thorac, The Cinder King. A well-prepared fight rolled out, and while there was much danger, you all persevered and managed to, using the vestiges, destroy the sole anchor once it was revealed within the body of the Great Red Dragon.

His form rescinding and withering back to its regular, seemingly withering size, you attempted to flee back into its layer, but the rather rapid and temporarily winged rogue it rogue, Baxildan gave chase and dealt a finishing blow to the Great Red Beast, midway through its cavern towards its layer. There you were joined briefly by your sister and an ally you had made through this circumstance, Rishan, one green dragon, the member of the conclave that seemingly had made a tenuous alliance with you as her goal also was to destroy

Thorndack. Hating you in the battle, Rishan followed suit, and upon the corpse of Thorac laying, cut, bleeding, and dead in the center of this cavern, she wished to take her end of the deal you had made, to be left alone with the corpse for a moment to acquire some secret knowledge that apparently she was seeking from the dead dragon. Upon releasing the energy from a scroll which she had utilized the incantation from, you decided that vengeance being your oath as a paladin and the history that you have, with Kieleth and Kieluth's people that died under the guise of Ryshan's initial plotting with Thorak to not let this creature stand attacked it. Both you and your sister, just as Kieluth began to arrive. The rest of the party slowly staggering behind. Rishon sneered and went further back into the cavern. You all gave chase into this dark volcanic tunnel system, which then opened up into a large red flaming cavern filled with lava pools and rivers, and apparently a handful

of red eggs it looked like scattered throughout this room. Thick, dark red crimson scales with crystalline formations pouring out of the sides, very similar to Thorac's primordial dragon form. Upon finding not Ryshan, but just this empty space, you looked up to see a series of arcane and summoned meteors, suddenly given form, rocketing from the ceiling of the cavern, and slamming into the floor, dealing, to some of you, a pretty dangerous blow in sending you scattering across the floor a bit, Vex being thrown across the way.

You all managed to survive, at the end of the last battle, I had forgotten that you had made you safe, and actually your bludging damage was HAB. So Vex is conscious, though still hurting. As the dust settles, and you all take stock of what had just transpired, you see the Snout of the Green Dragon pull up into what appears to be a series of dark volcanic exhaust tunnels

that seem to be like a hive network of honeycomb-type tunnels that just spiral off all through the ceiling. And that's where we left off from the last sequence here. Jeez, Louise. Which previously behind, if I'm correct, and I believe I am, and if not, Internet it's fine, we'll do the narrative. We have the three of you in the room. We have Percy Scanlan, Piking Gilmore,

rushing up behind as fast as they can. Grogate came out, stayed behind to finish up one of the more recent battles, and Jared is just not going in. He is not in a place to follow suit. It's fine. You got this. You got this. Don't worry. It's okay. So much pain. Before we ran into the bigger chamber, Gilmore and Jared had caught up with us, if I remember correctly.

No, they did not. Oh, they hadn't gotten to us. They, I didn't know. I didn't. No. They would have gotten into the chamber with you. Only the three. They got into the chamber. That's what I mean.

They got into the tunnel, but they hadn't got up to you guys. Okay. The speed in which you all got there was basically just Rishan and the three of you. Then the attack happened. Ryshan rushed in you rush after her. Everyone else has kind of been left in the dust. Okay. They're not too far behind you, but things be as they may.

We begin tonight's episode at this next round of combat, continuing where we last did. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. Oh, God, oh God, oh God. Not even there. You're fine. You're right. No, stop, don't.

So, at the top of this combat round, technically, Percy, you have the initiative on this. You are continuing to push through this hallway. You haven't quite even at a double dash. You can hear the explosions in the distance, and you guys watch a suddenly smoke, silt, and ash come flying through the tunnel from with within, immediately followed by the sound of these large heavy, begging explosions,

some sort of heavy impact and series of impact seemed to have detonated deep within the tunnel and immediately set everyone in the vicinity on edge, knowing that something is still transpiring in a very dangerous way deeper within this tunnel. I am throwing on my mask and I am running into the room. I'm actually going to be spider-crawling. I'm going to be on the walls just so that I'm yeah I don't want to be in the line of anything that happens to coming around Spider Percy's my favorite person It's just the feet person You can't if you want you can if you want to wait so if he's like walking like this

Yeah yeah running Yeah basically It's like dr. Strange. It's just one He's doing this nothing's happening Yeah, I know Mere dimension. Out of fluid. How the fluid. If anyone can make it, it's you.

I know, I gotta make, I gotta make spider. Spider, spider webs. How much, Percy, be out of fluid. So, anyway, that ends, you're doing you, you run past on the side of the wall. As the ash begins to settle around you, as you run past kind of preparing your weapons for a coming confrontation, you glance out to your right

and see there the smoldering wreckage of red scales and dragon blood that was once Thorac, the Cinder King. Did you just see that? And down as the battle continues for, you keep running. You can see a gentle glimmer in the distance of a battlefield, but you're not quite there yet. Okay. Okay, the top of the round, the three of you finding yourselves in this circumstance, we go to the layer actions. So these layer actions are of Thorac's layer, as this is not,

Ryashon's layer, but even though Thorak is dead, the layer itself has its own natural and naturally occurring dangers. So. What? That don't make no sense. Thorak's dead. Right after I feel like a lot of him. Over time, maybe, you don't know. His home security system still pays for another box.

Exactly, yeah. It's on a recurring subscription plan. So there will be auto-upkeep. The lava that you had just landed across. So Vexalia, as you were knocked from the explosions of the meteor, from landing on your back, just barely getting back up to your feet, Your vision comes back as you see the stream of lava that's just barely pouring past very slowly. It begins to... And as it opens and sprays here in a 20-foot radius.

I tried to back up. And I bump and hate. Go and bring out my templates! Yeah. The disson. No. This is going to kill me, isn't it? This will explode and all three of you. I need you all three to make dexterity saving throws.

Oh, boy. Yay. This is great. Cool. This is, is this? First roll of 2017. That's so good. Oh, wait, I'm hasten.

20 total. 20 total's good. Yeah. He-he. Okay, that's fine. So as it is a hotter, more dangerous vicinity here, the damage is higher, but you all manage to make your save, so you're only taking half damage,

as you all avoid from the spray of magnet that just bursts out and splashes in your... area. If you can keep to me at zero, yeah? Yes, because you have your rogue evasion this. And that's three ones, all right. Hey. So that would be 18 points of fire damage reduced to nine.

Oh, fine. That's all right. I mean, I'm not, you know, taking it for granted. It's like five kids. Yeah, they're fine. Yeah. Van Damme stye.

Like four maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. Four or five. Depends on the health of the kidney. Next up in the initiative order is Ryshan. So as the splash happens, you glance at it,

you can see what looks to be a series of maybe a dozen or so of these volcanic lava tubes that kind of are these caverns, roughly the size of a very low, live, kind of pushed in cat-like Ryshan. You see the head and the tail kind of hanging out the side as Rishon begins to mutter some sort of an incantation under Mert. You hear the echo, the heart, the heart between the room as it kind of quivers for a second.

And her form just vanishes. Damn it. Did we, but we saw where she was before she went invisible? You did. Yeah. Fight over. That's it. That's great.

Oh, my goodness. She left. She left. All right. Let's mop up here and go home. Okay. She said. The air ate her.

I guarantee you that's probably not the case. No. She just ceased to matter to that. Yeah. All righty. Dude. Just shunned her into invisibility. Great.

That brings us next to Keyleth's turn. Keyleth. Just kill her. Find her and kill her so he can survive. Whereabouts was she last? Last you saw was up in this cavernous area, roughly in this portion of the ceiling. But we can assume she probably went invisible and then moved.

Yeah. Yes. I could do fairy fire on her, but I mean, I don't know where she is. It's a 20-foot cube. It would probably be a waste. So, instead, I am going to cast coal lightning at fourth level and go fire elemental. Okay. Well, there's a plastic bag. Lightning is ongoing.

Yeah, it's a concentration. Yeah, I can't. So it just exists there, ready to strike? Like a Ghostbuster. Cool. So as you, why do you watch this Keelot's eyes flare with this bright electric kind of blue yellow light, as the ash and bit of dust has been kind of plummeting

from the ceiling from the impact of the meteor swarms and the movement of some now not-seeable dragon amongst the ceiling caverns, it gathers into the swirling storm that begins to build and form across the top domed portion of this cavern. As it does, you watch bolts of electricity kind of arc through the storm, as Keyless form then wishes into a burst swirl of flaming energy, her physical body now becoming a swirling fire elemental.

Do you wish to move or stay where you are? I'm going to take a few steps back and question, can I look up and see if like the clouds are kind of shaping around like a, you know, roughly dragon-shaped body? Does that make sense? She's looking for disturbance. Make a perception check. Sure.

Roll high. Natural 20. Natural 20. No. Natural 20. Oh, that's not bad. Perception. Perception.

Sorry, I'm so nervous. 26. Glancing about between the dust that's falling, the movement of the storm that you've gathered at the roof of the ceiling, you don't see anything that identifies the location of a dragon now. Yeah, so that's fine. So I'll take a few steps back. Okay, so you're right right there.

Wow, it's weirdly mirrored. Okay, yeah, that took me a second. It is totally mirro mirro. Yeah. Yeah, no, cool. Our screen is flipped. That's crazy. It's fine.

Yeah. It's not a problem. We have the same view you. It's actually, no, I think it's better because we're seeing it from his perspective. So we can say like move us down and they'll be towards him now. Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry.

So move me. Further in? Yeah. Towards the lava or away from the lava or away from the lava? Right there. Down one more. Other way. South.

Oh my God. South. Yeah, that's good. That's good. There. Where are our pointers, guys? We're our pointers. We need new pointers.

We'll do that. It's been three weeks, Matt. It has been, I know. We've forgotten how to play. That's okay. All right, so. It's like inverted controls. I'm taking Diva.

I know. Now, is that your turn? Yes. All right, finishing Keelot's turn. That brings us to Gilmore, who is rushing up past Youth, the Cavern, Percy, keeping up as pace as much as he can. Oh boy. Yeah.

I don't know. You guys take me to the nicest places. And he's just jogging as best as he can, kind of rushing into the ash cloud as another one pushes through. Some of the winds tending to push and causing swirling little dust devils of ash and cinder. That's going to end his turn. Vex here up.

So you glance up. I glance up. I see all this happening. What are you going to do? I'm going to get on my broom. Mm-hmm. Get on up. And

I'm gonna take a health potion. Okay. So. Regular health potion? I have a greater. Okay. I have one greater. So that's a what, 4D8?

No. A greater is 4D4 plus 4. 40. That's right. Okay. No. Remember, you guys are pretty low on any powerful potions at this point you've used most.

So yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I had a greater left. Yeah. It's jack shit. 10 whole points. There you go. 10 points of healing, all right?

On your broom. Okay. I'm gonna go back towards the entrance, post up towards the entrance, like off the ground, as far as I can get. That's about as far as you can get. Do you want to stay hovering or just like they're on the ground? Hovering, stay off the ground.

Okay, but like, are you going up 10 feet or 20 feet, or are you just staying just above the ground so you're not standing on it? I'm gonna go up 10 feet. Okay. And if I can be a little bit further away from key lift, that'd be clutch. Okay.

I mean, I don't know if it'd be clutch, but it would be helpful. There, say. Can I look up and see if I can see like dust coming down from any of the holes to see if Rishan is moving around in the holes on the ceiling? Roll up touch and check.

I know, I know. Is this pretend? to dragon so I would get advantage? Um, sure. So perception, so it's 26. Okay, so glancing about, unfortunately, the gathering of the call lightning cloud combined with the other dark Ashfield interior,

you don't see anything that signifies the location of a dragon. You do glance over and you notice that where you landed previously, one of the eggs was pretty much just destroyed by the sleight, because it was in the area of the meteor swarm the meteor swarm where you guys were hit, which is all gathered here. So this egg right here by where you were is currently just crushed inward and filled with rock.

And- Really? Yeah. Is there anything oozing out of it? Yeah, what's. I should have looked at it. It's hard to see this far away, but it looks like the egg has been destroyed.

Destroyed? Destroyed. So she doesn't care about the eggs. Or she didn't destroy it. It's not yet. She's meteor- Okay, so I've got, I'm so sorry. That's true.

covered with rocks. Um, I mean, they could be... I don't know where my notes are to say what my spells were from before. I didn't have it set up because I'm horrible. I'm curious to see how she reacts to do there being one lap. But that was from the layer action. Yeah, that wasn't her.

That was... That was the last one. Oh, I didn't do like any spells before. So I'm gonna cast... I'm gonna cast... Um... I'm gonna cast cure wounds on myself. Okay? What level?

Um... Oh, no. Does she care? Did you not care? I'll find out. I'm gonna cast it at third level. Okay. I feel like she was on a level. So that's 1d8, 2d8 plus my spellcasting modifier.

Is that right? 3D8, technically. 3D8? If you're casting at third level, it's 3d8, and most you're going to go. Good, good, good. This is turning to like a jrish. Bring her episode.

So 17. Where is she not? Come on. No, my modifiers. This is my wisdom. 10 plus. Jesus Christ, I'm sorry. 10 plus.

Three weeks, man. 13 points. He'll. Like, right and bike. Three weeks to stew, everybody. All right, there you go. At the end of your, Your turn?

Action is going to do it. I'm riding a bike with pen and paper. Okay. You feel this strange, sudden kind of warm tingling sensation separate from the healing spell, just in your vicinity. Almost like a warm breeze just kind of passes through you. That's it. End of your turn. What does that mean?

I don't know. You've been cursed forever. Somebody farting dragon. Vax. You're up. It's invisible farting dragon. We're doomed. I'm going to take to the air. I'm going to, do I still feel hasted?

Yeah? You, yes, you do. All right. I'm going to fly past my sister and slap the one greater healing potion I have in her palm. Okay. Okay. Superior, excuse me. Whoa. And then I'm going to curve around over Keeler and stab the egg there. Right here? The dragon sleigh. This one?

Yes. Okay. Stabbing eggs? I should give you a dragon slayer bonus, also. Go ahead and roll for a tack. Isn't that poaching eggs? That is 29. Go home trials.

Go home, you're drunk. I'm working out. What if the babies will help us, though? What if the babies are cute? Can we raise them? No. You want to try and, like, DeNaris this shit? We can raise them by sending them on fire.

We each get one, you guys. 26. 26 points of damage? You don't even know if the dragon is. You take the blade as you rush up and then hack through it. The blade only gets a few inches into the tough outer exterior, this egg, and you have to push and carve through. And you do carve a sliver through the egg shell

and a little bit of kind of deep, kind of brownish maroon liquid begins to spill out of it. But it's not a heavy amount of damage. It's not a heavy amount of damage to the egg. I'm going to take a whisper and take that further. Okay. Let's go and roll for secondary attack. That is 28. That is 28.

That hits. I'm going to mark the Exeter. Damage are destroyed. This one is. That's a total of 15. That's not working too well. Good to know. Total of what?

15. 15. With that much damage, the egg begins to crack even further, more the liquid against the spill. The blade pulls through, and you can see as you tear a chunk of the actual shell of this egg off and it falls, you have punctured some sort of thick amniotic sack that's with the fluid spilling out of it, but you haven't seemingly touched any sort of flesh or creature within, but the egg is currently has a section that is exposed. Okay. And if I'm still hasted, I have a lot of movement left, so I'm going to fly and hover about 15 feet above the egg towards you,

towards your DM table on the side there. Over here? Yeah. 15 feet in here. I should have 120 feet of movement total hasted. So we were lining up, we're seriously lining up? 120 feet total. No, I'm going way over there.

No, you're in a line. That's not where I want to be. I want to be. I know, I'm calculating how much moving yet. I'm arguing with her, not you. I know her. Because that's what we do. Because we love each other.

You can get right there. Okay, okay. 15 feet in the air. 15 feet near. That's not the egg that I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about the egg closer to Matt. Yes, there it is. There we go.

There. That one. This is where I want to go. That's where you are, dude. That's over there. Yeah. It's the flip screen. I don't want to go there.

I want to go across from everybody. It's the flip. Guys, it's the flip screen. Over this way? Closer to Matt. I'm gonna kill you all. Bear with us, new tech, new year, we're making this one. No shite. There, there, there.

This, okay. The egg that's there. Okay. I have a brilliant solution for next time. So from there, yeah, you would be able to make it there. Literally, in-game. Invert controls. It's like a jet fighter.

Backship. We can battleship. Next time we'll just, we'll have a row of letters and a row of numbers and move me to 4-7. me to 4-7. You can't use inversion. That's actually not a bad idea. I only use inverted. Right.

I'm marking this here as, there, that's better. This is destroyed. That was amazing. Stink up. This egg has one crack in the side there. Even if we did it again, it's fast. Did you just mark on your cool eggs? He's used to dry erase.

Wet erase. And it's either that or lick them. It's fun. How many more times are we going to do? What time are we going to end? Dragon eggs. By it's tiny plastic eggs. Greetings adventurers.

Spring has sprung here in Los Angeles, and that means it's a brief period where it's only 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees. I'll take it. And that means I've been outside a lot more, walking around, occasionally galloping after a toddler hopped up on juice boxes, traveling a bit, you know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I gotta say, looking a little bit sad. I want clothes that can keep up with me, and my son, but updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive.

So that's why I wound up signing up for Fabletics as a VIP. It let me overhaul my springtime outfits without obliterating my bank account. New VIPs unlock major savings on that first purchase, so trying new fits feels way more doable. When I signed up as a new VIP with Fabletics, I got 70 to 80% off everything. It made it easy to grab a few new pieces without overthinking it. And the quality really surprised me. Everything feels premium and soft and breathable, but you're not paying those premium prices.

The kind of stuff you can throw on in the morning and not worry about later. When I'm at home, my favorite thing to pull on is the oversized hoodie. It's so comfy I could just live in it 24-7. It's perfect for walking my dog on like a chilly night. But what I'm out and about, I've really been loving the ribbed Johnny Collar

polo. It makes me look like I should be taking a high-powered meeting by the pool at the White Lotus, but hopefully with less murder involved. I don't know. It's insanely comfortable. I highly recommend it. So shop now at fabletics.com slash critical role to get 70 to 80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP.

Lately, I've been getting a bit more intentional about what I wear from day

today, because instead of just falling out of whatever laundry baskets nearby, I've been leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable, but still put together because it just makes getting dressed simpler when I have a plan. Quince has been my go-to to help with that, because the fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without me needing to overthink it. And Quint says all the wardrobe staples you need for spring. Think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from just $34. They're lightweight, they're breathable, they're comfortable, your legs and torso will thank you and you will still look put together. And clean 100% Pima Cotton Tees with a softness. Well, you gotta feel that to believe it. Believe you me. Their pants also

hit that same balance. They're relaxed, they're comfortable, but still polished enough to wear basically anywhere. And everything's priced between 50 and 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen so you're getting premium materials without the markup. And since spring is here in Los Angeles, a brief period where it's 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees, I spruced up my wardrobe with a pair of the comfort stretch traveler five pocket pants and the heritage wash denim shirt. Not only do they feel great, but I unequivocally look good as hell while wearing them. That's just science.

I put a bunch in my cart to make sure that I didn't know which one to get, and then forgot about it. Came back, I was like, oh, should I got to order that? I ended up buying, like, three bags. What am I going to do? All these eggs. We'll have big plastic giveaways. All right, that ends your turnbacks?

All right. At the end of your turnbacks, you feel the effect of the haste potion dissipate, and your body all of a sudden goes from this hyperactive, a very familiar mode, too, extremely lethargic, and you find yourself having to fight to catch a breath. So you can't take any actions next turn. You can't do anything. It's the first time.

It's time to sing some sound guard. It's a potion. It's a potion, it's not the boots. The boots, right. Kima is trying to keep up pace with you, Grog. You're still in your large form. You're having a crash. How long is it last for?

Let me check. Enlarge 10 minutes. Enlarge, 10 minutes. Yeah, all right. So you're just like, bounding through. Kima's falling behind. as you guys both enter and continue past your, you hear the explosions in the distance,

and all of a sudden the rolling of smoke and a rushes past you. Yay! Did you pick up like that? Yeah, the smell doesn't bother you because you've had the smell of burning beard hair, most of this, close to your nose. A bunch of great bushy beard is a little tighter to your face now.

You've been taken, you've tanked a few dragon firebaths to the face. The fact that you have any hair is by the grace of your ancestral history and the world you have. I know, it's so fleshyber. I know. But are you just going full sprint to catch up with everybody? Yeah. All right.

I'm just rolling. I'm still at Pike with me, but. Pike is coming with me, yeah. Because you picked it up. You're just running with Pike. He was like, damn it! Behind you, left in the ash.

You, while you were behind, you with your full speed being faster than everybody else in this group, you almost catch up entirely to Percy and Gilmore are pretty much on their initiative count going forward. or at least it would be a rival count next round. That finishes your go. Yes. Let's see. So you were after Vax, right? Yes. No, no, I was right before Vax.

Right, so I got a little out of order, sorry, my apologies. All right, so anyway, it wouldn't have made a difference. So now it's, yeah, so Kimmix goes for run. Pike, is Pike doing anything while on your back? Yes. Pike's going to heal you. Who? You. Me?

He just ran away. Yeah. Oh, wait, she's with him. Yeah. He's carrying my nice. I was going to say, is she Yodaing you? Yeah. I feel like a Yoda situation.

That's awesome. It's a terrible. That's a terrible. Why are you rough? Why are you run? Why are you? Why are you? Here's not your hours of degrees.

Kerwood. Hi, I'm Yoda. I can be a better. I think that's his brother, Carl. That's pretty. She's going to cast pure wounds at third level on him. Seagull song is so great. So that's three, eight.

It's one of the best things they've done in a long while. Yeah, that's pretty good. Seagull song. You've seen a Seagull song. 16 plus her page, her modifier. What is, that's, that's, that's my page. Her clerics are.

Wisdom, wisdom, so her modifier five. She had five for that. Shikes. Plus five. 18. There you go. Thanks, Pike. Oh, you're welcome.

You know. You know. You know. You know. All right. To desecrate. Scanl. I will run

my 25 feet. And then, uh, pop a potion. Uh, just a normal potion of healing. Okay. I got. So it's a 1d, 2d4 plus 2. Okay. 4 plus 2? Yep. Five. You heal. Five hit points. Great. I'm up to 70. Are you doing anything else in your turn? Are you dashing?

Do I have more? Can I use my action to dash? Yes. Your action to move again, essentially. Okay. I will do such a thing because I don't even know. I'm just following people. Yeah, you're a little bit behind. You're pretty much, Grog gets caught up to you. You guys are just behind Gilmore and see at this point. Okay. I'm in front of Grog still? Yeah. Damn. Well, he went running while you... Objects in the mirror on gigantic. Okay, at the end of your turn? I die. Sweet. Um, Vax. You, as you fly over with your wings in the air, looking down to the egg, you feel this sudden kind of warm wind pass through you.

You don't quite, like, it seems sourceless, but it just kind of seems to, like, fill you and leave. Does it feel good when it happens, or does it feel like... It's just different. Now, it's already a hot, like, you're all sweating in here. So the fact that you feel something like warm briefly, comparatively to the temperature around you is what catches your attention. It doesn't hurt or damage you, but it just seems strange.

I don't like any of this. I don't like any of this. It's manopause. Anyway. It's natural. You move to disappear. I cast drag on the other. I'll pretend like I'm black up with myself.

Okay, good. Percival, we're up the top of the initiative. I'm running my way in there. All right. So, all right. Percival, at a full run, if you go a full run, you'll manage to get just barely inside the cavern about there. Okay. Right there.

right there. That'll do. So that'll be your turn though. That's a bonus action if you haven't used for it. I don't really have, mostly I just want to use my bonus action to take in everything and look around and have a good, good serious look. In fact, I'll even take a perception roll if I can have one. Go for it. Okay, just a good sit and think. Let's get, okay, no, never mind. That's pretty good. Wow, it has been a while. 25. 25. When dancing around, you see a fire elemental that briefly startles you as you can whip your weapon in that direction, but you recognize. And I'm like, and it's got antlers. And I'm like, who? I love Hannibal, too. It's great. Okay. Eggs. You see. Dust. Yeah, you see eggs, one is destroyed and just leaking out like a series of boulders and it looks like some sort of a large concoct. cave impression on the top. There are egg scattered throughout the area. There's a giant storm

cloud gathering in the roof of the cavern, and there is a large pool of lava with the small pool over there. You see occasional glimmers of a little coin in the distance. Can you put me on the wall just because I don't think I'd be, I was still spider crawling, so like, even like on top of the little wall thing if you want. Sure, aren't you there? Sure. Why not, Percy? Thank you. You're welcome. That makes me happen. How high is it to these holes in the ceiling I'd say it's about 60, 70 feet up. Okay. Cool. Cool. Yeah, the whole cavern's kind of domed like this.

Alrighty, that Vince Percy's turn. Another layer action is going to transpire. Oh. This one's a good one. This one heals everybody. Yeah. There is a fissure that erupts over in this side of the room. The ground kind of cracks open, and this

You've seen it happen once. A plume of poisonous gas fills this space here. It's okay. We're immune to poison. Yeah. Two more is it? Let's see. I need you Vex to make a constitution saving throw. Even though I'm immune to poison? Oh, no.

Really? Even with Heroes Peace? Oh, no. Oh, shit. That plus two for the ring. Oh, right. So 11. 11. Okay, good.

That's the number. Okay. It is now... What does that mean? What is it? Slowly my skin starts to melt off my body. You just see the cloud kind of fills the area and you start coughing. That's it.

It hasn't got your turn, so it is now Ryshan's turn. Legendary actions are restored. All of this. Oh, good. I was worried about her legendary actions. Are you being facetious? I don't know what that mean. Whose turn is it right now? It's Ryshawn's turn.

Deciding what to do. Okay. I don't know the meaning of the word. It's good clean fun. Percival. Oh. Oh. As you're running along the wall and you kind of glance in the vicinity,

you see the cloud of poison kind of burst from the ground and you're just out of the range of it. Sorry, it's just within your range from where the way. I'm wearing my mask. Yeah, you have your mask on. I don't know if it actually helps, but there you are. Fabulous. So as you're standing kind of amongst this fume,

you see this within this cloud, a strange kind of burst of very, very faint light in your area, and you feel, even in this heated room, a sudden surge of heat within your kind of torso region, and then it fades. What does it mean? It's freaking me the fucking Laiziness, y'all. She's lighten us up. Doesn't Hunter's Mark feel like something sometimes?

Oh my God, that's right. What if she's like marking us for death or something? You know, you can faintly hear what sounds like there are footsteps moving through the tunnels, but you're unable in the current chaos and the obscured vision to see where it's happening, but there is movement happening above you throughout the chaos. I don't have, my save versus magic would not help with this at all. Cabal's ruin would not help with this. Okay, just check. Okay. Okay. That ends Reishon's turn. That's going to bring us to Keyleth.

Okay. I'm really unsure what's going on. So I'm just going to... Laser pointer right here. Laser pointer. Thank you. I'm going to go to that egg right here that fax was whaling on. Yep. And try and finish it off. Okay, you move up. As you get to the edge of it, you can see now the light that your body's getting off as a piling off of piles of gold and platinum that are kind of gathered around the egg. It is, about a third of it is still submerged in volcanic rock and has been placed here for quite some time. Don't let me die, I need to loot. You can see the crack in the exterior of the egg and the kind of thick, purplish, inotic fluid that is slowly dribbling down like a slow-moving molasses or sap from the wound left behind by Vax.

I'm going to do two slam attacks. Go for it. Multi-attack. Those were both nines, which is plus this. So 15 total to hit? 15 to hit, yes. Okay. And that is.

Only because he predamaged it to that point. You're basically attacking through the shell of the egg and removed a portion of its armor. We're punching a dragon to us right now. I am totally punching. That's like so. Eggs Benedict. Uh-huh. Last six.

14, 18 damage. Okay, so you plunge your flaming fist into the fluid. You hear immediately sizzle as your fist goes into it. You punch something dense on the inside. Oh, you punched a baby dragon. Good. Good. Okay, that's my turn.

In the head. That's it. Like a trunk and Australian. Just. You rolled the 15 and a... a 15 and a... I rolled two nines, and I have a plus six. Oh. Both of them twice. Oh, so you rolled 15 both times. Yes. Gotcha. And then how much damage did you do total? 18. 18 from both attacks? Yes. Okay, cool. All right, so

with both slam, the first fist goes in and slams and hit something, the second time you're reaching and slamming, you grab it and pull out and as you kind of yank out of the egg just a little but you see what looks like the snout of a very tiny Thorac, essentially. But whereas the red dragon you saw Thorac, that was partially volcanic, crystalline, with the burning eyes, this creature is seemingly made from pure primordial fire and rock. This is a whole new form of dragon. He made little clones. What have he made? What have he made? What have he made? What have it's one for every member of the conclave. How many are there?

There's five eggs, but one is crushed, and that would be by Sean, and there would be nothing in it. Why? Wait, are we sure there was nothing in it? I don't know. Do you want to go check it's anything in it? It's covered in rock. There are five eggs?

There are five eggs that you can see throughout the game. And they're all red. They're all red. They're all red. They're all red, yes. Okay, well, they're all red. Maybe they're all four acts. Little clones? I don't think they're clones.

Maybe it's literally five new breeds of dragon. Oh my god. Only one way to find out. Yeah, only one way to find it out. It's supposed to open another one. Is it still alive? What are they called the little chocolate eggs? Is it alive?

Is it alive? Is it alive or did I kind of kill it by yanking it off? The British ones. It's currently limp in your grass. Sure. Hey, you killed a dragon. Good job. I did.

I got one. Kill it. It's like the Westworld building version of killing a dragon. How do you want to do this? Sunny side up. Benedict. Perfect. All right, you stop some movement, Keyleth, if you want to move still.

I do, don't I? I want to start heading towards VACs. Towards Vax this way? Okay. Yeah. What's your movement in the phillemental form? 50 feet. 50 feet? You'd get about there. However, unaffected by fire and suddenly covering. You're just kind of... You're comfortable in this space. I'm like, it's like a spa. Kind of, yeah. Yeah. It's tingling. It's like a hot spring.

Perfect. All right, that's your turn. Gilmore. Gilmore, just at a full run, gets up to the side here. It's kind of flanking. He enters the space, pushes up against the wall, and just kind of surveys the territory. He looks spooked, but also kind of in that,

well-we're-here-tap mentality. It looks about there. He goes, everyone all right? Please tell me everyone's all right. Fish. Great. That ends Gilmore's turn as he just arrives. Grog. You just come sprinting in. Can I smack Sean's ass as I go by and go there? Come on, Sean.

Sure. Sean breaks in half. You aren't stealthy. And as you've run by, Sean sees you about to swing and goes like, mm-mm- fine. What? Might have dislocated his hip, but he's like, oh!

Oh, I'll charge you later. That's gonna be a bruise on the last person. You get it out there, and you are, current Pike is technically on your space, Klein clutching to your shoulders. I will say back the ear. Like a little, you know, back back. Do I get any additional movement or am I just in now?

You were a little bit behind everybody. You've just now caught up to everybody. Good deal. And that's at your full double run. And you've just arrived at the edge of the edge of I'm here, let the pignottas begin. What's up pinata? I don't know. I thought it was a celebration, is it not?

You should ask Sam, right? All right. Ola, me am Sam Rigo. Yeah, there you go. All right, that'll bring us to Vex's turn. Oh, okay, all right. At the top of your turn, the poison has filled your lungs. and while you suffer no damage,

you are incapacitated. You are just a coughing fit, almost falling off of your broom, like sliding off to the side, and you just can't do anything. I can't do anything? Nope. It was a whole fucking turn. Gone. So both the twins have no turns. Maybe. Wow. Oh, yeah. Okay.

The poison is completely filled you to the point where you're seizing. You feel the muscles tightening up. But it's not hurting me. It's not hurting you, but you're unable to do anything. Sultras gas, it wrecks your shit. Tight, tight, tight. Welcome to hot pepper gaming. That's good.

I didn't have anything planned, then it would have been a cluster fuck like last time, so fuck it. Vax. You, currently just kind of like, taking your breath, you see your vision kind of blurs for a moment, and you can see the double vision trying to align. It comes in to focus, and you see Keillus Firemental Form kind of gliding across.

You see the edge of your side of your side of your side of your side, you see the edge of your vision. sister currently shattered against this cloud of toxic kind of sulfurous gas that has speeded it from the ground, and you can hear coughing in the distance. You see a bunch of your allies now beginning to just show up on the outside of the room's kind of lit interior, and it takes you the full round to kind of catch your breath. No movement either, yeah? Let me double check, actually. I'm pretty sure. Let me see here. Can't move or take actions until it's next turn, so no. All right, so that ends at the end of Vax's turn.

Let's see, at the end of your turn. Looking for a come up. There's going to be... This is fucking... Did I get a turn? No, I did mine already. Yeah, we're going to get to yours' mind. I'm still in the same position, 15 feet up that I was. You are, yes.

Yeah, your wings are just like... Grog, you see this kind of faint glimmer of energy around you, and you instinctually kind of like... But no temperature change, nothing seems to have a... Do I smell anything? Um, you smell sweaty gnome on metal armor. Honestly, really, I mean, come on, I know it's exactly...

I'm just nervous a see. Would you eat mustard pretzels before this? My God. Maybe. You know how they make me calm. The calm. Double Ashley is the best Ashley. Okay.

It's like a hit on a one game. Keem was running, desperately trying to catch up. But she's not quite in the battlefield yet. It's Pike's go. Pike. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, let's buff everybody.

Yeah, so she's going to cast, what, should she do a mess? Is there anything that could help with the stuff that has been magically cast on us? We don't actually know what's been done. Oh, on everybody, and it's a 30 feet? How far? Can she move up and get, how many people can she get in a 30-foot cone? A 30-foot cone?

No, 30-foot radius of her. From where she is, it's six squares. But she can move forward. She can move 25 squares right now, because she's been in Grog's back. She can kind of, like, leave off and move five. But you could get closer to Vex, right? Vex and Percy and Grog.

Yeah. Right here. She can move this way or this way or wherever you want. Okay. Here guys. Laser pointer. Lazy pointer. Whatever the Lame says move the opposite direction.

If she gets near Vex, then she can get Grog, Gilmore, Percy. Maybe like in that area? Yeah, yeah. Or like, no. Closer to Percy. Yeah. She can just be on the outskirts of getting Percy and can get all the rest of you guys. What about Keyleth as well?

She doesn't really need it. Why not? She's just catch Keelech. Yeah, sweet. That's great. Then she cast speaking of hope from there. Oh. What did that?

That gives you an immune. Advantage on wisdom-saving throws, death-saving throws, regains max number of hit points for healing. Or it would, possibly. Oh, shit. There's interferon. Gilmore Statsfax. I'm hitting him with the Lizer.

Don't blind our DM. I can't see the die. I'm gonna assume it was a natural 20. I'm rolled the it. Here we go, that's a little before. Why don't you put more time? Okay. But I tell you had a spurt.

It's a natural 20, so yeah. There is a burst of greenish, blue, arch, and energy that just kind of foof around Pikes. She tries to cast the spell. The spell fizzles. She got counterspelled. Oh, that. I hate her.

You're in a no magic zone. No, it's just. No that's so. No magic works here. Nope. Don't even try. All right. Just ruins everything I was going to do.

Great. It's okay. It's okay. She burned a counterspell. Great. Skim. Your turn. I move as far as I can. You... Did I make it in?

Running up, you're, like, just on the outskirts. You get caught up right about there in the center of the room. That's as far as you can get. All right. Can I yell out? Yes. Where's Rishon? Sealing.

I just got here. This isn't a fucking ceiling. She's in the ceiling? Yeah. I'm sorry, aliens. Sealing! There are the walls. All right, do I have any action left or now? Don't you put him in charge. You have a bonus.

Bonus? Bonus. I will shit. You'll shit. Bonus. True to form. No, I'll heal myself again. I'll do a second level.

Second level, healing word. Healing word. Go for it. 24 plus six. Oh, hey. 12, okay. That's better. That's good.

Good job. Yeah. Good gerb. Gurb. Great, I'll take it. Back up to something. Perfect. In Scanlan's turn, Percy, you're up.

All right, I'm going to take, I'm going to use Animus, and I'm going to take some pot shots at that, at that egg that's on the other side of grog. Over here? Yeah. That was, is that one the dead one or is that the... That was the one that Keylet's just punched the shit out. Oh, do you just punch through? Uh-huh. Okay, in that case, I'm gonna keep... You see no other egg where you currently are.

I'm gonna start walking around. Except the one that's right over here. You could technically fire at the one that's crossed the way. Yeah, I'm gonna start, I'm gonna actually start walking along the wall this way, as far as I can go. Oh, he's sticking to it, man. Yeah. Hey, that's cool.

And I know, like, I'm too close to shoot at that egg, but I can shoot at... It's like an Easter egg haunts. But you're above it. Aren't you high on the wall? Technically, I am far away enough from it that I shouldn't... Do you want to go further on here or on this alcove here? For the... Further, like this direction.

I want to head this way. Okay, so you're moving across the wall, you didn't have about there at full movement. Okay. And I'm too close to the egg to get a clean shot at it right now, right? It's too much of a... I've got some height, so... Yeah, you could... All right, and I'm using a one-handed, so.

handed, so. Okay. So yeah, I'm going to fire with Animus. I'm going to take three pot shots out of it with Sharp Shooter. So shot number one. Yay, that could have been terrible. 26. 26 hits.

Should I just roll all three and then do damage? Sure. Okay. 26. 14? 14 does not hit. That's fine. And 16.

16. 16 does not hit. Okay, I'm firing really terribly, but that's okay. I mean... Hang off a wall. Hang off a wall. This is new. So that's... Let me get my dice. That's all right. 23 points of damage plus four psychic damage. Okay. All right, so first shot, it pierces through, it actually cracks part of the egg. You can see it's almost like a spider spiral where the egg into your cracks inward. It pierces and a little bit of darkly, it begins to pull out of it. That's as much as you make as the next two shots seem to ricochet off of its hard shell. All right. That's my, yeah, I'm just going to use my bonus to reload and take some other shots. Dancing on the ceiling. Oh, what a feeling. Best music video. Okay. What's that? It's like a pinata. No say?

There she comes. Okay. Suddenly the entire layer begins to shake. Shit. God damn it. Like this tremor begins to emanate from the ceiling portion of this. Pieces of rock begin to fall from the ceiling. I need...

The guys who are flying, so Keelith, Vax and Vex, don't worry about this. Everyone else, I need you to make a dexterity saving throw. saving throw. Even me, I'm barely in the room. It's a big radius. I got one foot out. What is it? Dexterity. That's better. That's better. 10. 17. 15.

Okay. Five for five. Okay. Pike. I'm sorry. Grug. Both lose your footing and plummet backward. Gilmore. Rolls a number. National 20, he's fine. Hey! He goes to full,

go ahead. Give more. Whop. Wrake Dodgers, since that was 12. Um, yeah, Percy, you managed to just barely hold on without losing your, the... Thank you, my spider sense, tingled. Oh. You want you to just go out for that.

Now I'm gonna fall. Never mind. A bunch cheese there. Yep. That ends the layer action. They turn at this advantage. It is now Rishon's turn. Now, Ryshawn's turn.

Oh, that was a layer action? Yeah. Oh, Jesus. How about we just call that Ryshan's turn? Yeah. You watch as through the cloud of lighting that's kind of swirling, a small dragon-like form just pierces through momentarily. It's still seethru.

You can see the rest of the swirling storm around it, but it's just enough of that predator-like appearance, where it just shapes and shimmies or shimmers through the vicinity. through the vicinity. It chimies through. As it does, you watch this claw kind of lift up as this low echoing voice, Horosti, hot it. All of us with the light, all of us with the heat. Okay, what is this? It's gonna do something. I know. Please don't get like light green or some shit. So good right now. Okay, it's a 30 foot cube. We're all just going to turn it inside out and that'll be the end.

Oh, that's exciting. It's gonna be like the John Carpenter stuff thing. the thing. Up in the eggs and turn into big chickens. First we'll all mash together. Yep, it go and then get separated out into equal piles. Jeez. Bex and back will stay.

You can only get, or she can only get Vex, Pike, and Grog, but I need the three of you to make Constitution saving throw. Constitution? Yes. Damn it! Constitution. Come on. You're a piece of crap. Yeah.

That's good. I never get any bonus, though. Twenty-one. Nice. Oh, thank. 27. Okay, and Pike? Oh, oh, you roll for Pike.

Okay. She gets the meteor. I hope it's good. Oh, no. Vex and Pike both failed. Oh, that's as high as I get without natural 20, man. Spell DC of 22, I'm sorry. Whoa.

You and Pike both suffer 57 points of necrotic damage. Fucking shit! Oh, fuck. Grog, you take. half as much. So it would be 28. 28 points of necrotic damage. Suddenly you feel the very air itself go gray. The color is taken from your vision and your life force is drawn out of you through

Abid del Zim's horrid wilting. Horrid wilting. The air is drawn from your lungs. You feel your skin crack and pull tight against your skeleton. Adele de Zemesim's horrid wilting. Amazing. Don't ever say that. No, but it is.

It is now going forward. It's too crazy. I tried to give that. Are you alive? No, I'm unconscious. So is Pike, both of us. Oh, Jesus. I recall her.

Mike came back. Wait, did her armor get used last battle? No. I don't think it did, no. Nope. They got used once. Where was it? When?

In that last battle. Fire giant. Oh, yeah. How do I remember this? That's harsh. What he got in the fire giant? At the battle, at the fort. The fort.

Yes. Oh, at Fort Dexio. Yep, yep, yep. You were correct. Okay, so Pike's alive. There it is. With how many hit points is? Jesus, that was an eight-level necromancy spell.

No, no, no, no. She's got five hit points. So Pike is at five hit points. And are there any eggs within 15 feet of her? Nope. Is there a Rishon within 15 feet of her? Nope. Well, then, Beck's plummet.

But Vex plummetz plummet out of the poison cloud off of her broom, slams into the ground and clatters spinning and falling to the ground, not moving. Thanks for knocking over the little cube, too. I like that added. Back handing it, unless. Damn. All righty. Are there lasting effects from Adelda's wilton? She's been casting on us. That has nothing to do with it. Like, are we pounced or anything?

From what you know? No. From what you know. It just sucks right now. It's all I know. Yep. Jesus. Yeah.

Okay. So that is going to end Rishan's turn. The form is still somewhat visible, though transparent. It took her full movement to even get to that point. And where is she still on the ceiling? To give you a position right now, it's right there. 40, 50 feet out? Though transparent. Yes, 50 feet.

Oh, don't do that then. Oh, I just remembered. You left the gas on. And she's 40, 40 up? 50 feet up. Yeah, lift up. So, Caleb, what are you doing?

Okay. I can still kind of see her a little bit. This is a dragon. Yeah, you can barely make out the outline. Okay, so since she's in my cloud, I'm going to kind of like do like one of those sideways arcing, lightning strikes, just arch everything right. towards a big bitch.

She just takes damage, right? Recall letting no, you have to roll. Oh, I have to roll. Oh, I have to roll. No, sorry, a creature has made a dexterity saving throw. So what's your DC? 20. 20?

How many lightnings are heading towards her? 19, total 10 plus 9. So that's 4D10. Yes, it is. Get a little. Yeah, yeah. If we roll one, too. Oh, unfortunately.

How many? 4D10. Okay, I rolled that. You rolled well. I rolled okay. I actually did roll really well. Yeah. You're right.

I know well. 9,9, 18 plus 8. That is 26. Damage. Nice. So you watch as suddenly, as the form tries to pull itself back in the cloud, the cloud lights up with this crackling, reddish, pink, electrical energy

electrical energy that then turns to a bright burning red. As it arcs past and slams into her, you watch the energy can arc across the body of Rai Shan, the dragon. Does she have to make a concentration save to remain invisible? She does. Yeah, she's fine. 57. I still have movement, right? You do, yes. Your full movement. You haven't moved yet. You just pulled it down at that one moment. I am going to head towards the egg that got cracked that's kind of in the center there.

Over there? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you can go all the way over to it. Can I do a bonus action to like examine? I mean, you can make a perception check and look at it. If you want to rummage through it, that'll probably take your action.

Okay, I'll do it just a perception check right now. Okay. Uh, 23. Okay, I mean, as soon as you rush up and kind of get a glance at it, you can see that a lot of the dark, purplish maroon fluid that you filled most of the egg is just coating the outside of the outside of the the egg shell and there are a series of rocks and pieces of rubble from the initial meteor swarm impact that is just sundered this egg. It's about half the height of the others is all that's

been kind of collapsed inward. This egg is ruined. So we have two ruined eggs at this point. And no sign of like a... And one almost ruined. No sign of a dragon baby? Nothing you can see. All right. Might be just deep in there and flattened. Flattened, yeah. That's my turn. Could have Spendipat. Okay. She's turn, that brings us to Gilmore. That's all on Twitter. Gilmore watching this happen to watch Vex go down.

Twitter. Let's see what he does here. Watch it's a troll. Oh. Okay. There's got to like five of them in here. We have to do something about this. Sorry.

Okay. As Raj Khan's form was up there, he says, not today. Not ever! And releases his hand like this, and you watch as a bird of kind of strangely shifting, rippling archine energy similar to the same ripple that is shrouding. Reishon seems to kind of scatter up in that direction. It's going to attempt to... Come on. With his successful dispel magic, Rishon, the form becomes completely visible now.

The invisibility has worn off and is now standing completely visible. As this happens, Rishon... I will enjoy eating the flesh from your balls. Oh, you say balls? Yeah, definitely from Barton's ball. Definitely said ball. I think he said it. This is then going to,

Gimor goes from excitement too. Shit. Yeah, not my balls. Is going to, knowing the tactics that a baby's being used is going to try and spread out from the rest of the group over here. towards the destroyed egg across the wall. That's going to end Gilmore's turn. That brings us to Grog. Can I get up, please? You can? Get on up.

That's half your movement there. Get on up. Can I see Vex sprawled out? You do, yes. Yeah. Can I run to Vex? Sure. I have one really, what's the really big potion, the superior? I have one of those. Can I shove it in her gullet?

You can, it'll take your action to do it. Oh. You don't have to. to roll it's okay I mean okay I want you to read roll character here we go I'm gonna take my axe and Yeah, I shud it her right Okay, so it's superior that is eight D4 plus eight yeah oh I gonna roll it yeah oh gee oh yeah wait eight deep four I only wanted it stop it Oh my little a little potion tray

inspired just for decoration or like whoa 17 8. 24. Plus eight. I wonder if you can put like a die. I think it's plus it. 32?

That was insane, Grog. Yeah, like for the sorry game. So with that, your eyes come into focus, Vex, as you feel the clatter of glass against your teeth, the vial being pulled her mouth, and you kind of coughers like a, coming into consciousness, Grog, in his giant form, cradling you like a tiny baby in his one giant mitt, kind of smiles. Miles.

It's like a Terry Gillian movie. Thanks. Go rage. All right, don't worry. You do have a point of exhaustion as you've gone. Unless you've continued your rage this whole time, which you can. So, never mind. Yeah. You got that now.

You're just like, like, pranged. A pot of chip to tube getting out. Yeah. Oh, good, I'll go. Like meadows and coke. There's like, drink it, drink it. All right, great. That ends Strog's turn. Vex.

Vex, you are conscious, prone, but conscious. Oh, God, okay. Uh, fuck. Can I shoot from my laying down position? Just because I feel like it would be cool. I'd say your attacks would have dis- Okay, then I'm gonna get up on my knee and shoot up. Because I just wake up and see her right above me, don't I?

Yep, you do. Alright, then I'm gonna try to, oh wait, I already used bramble shot, or at least I tried too today. You did, yeah. So I'm gonna shoot her! Do you all right. Can I hunter's marker first, though? You certainly can.

Hey! I don't get sneak attack. Nobody's near her. Right? That was great. No. No one. No one. No one. No one. Yeah, that was really good. Oh, that's what I rolled. Oh, did you? Nice. Look at that. You can get more. Just synchronizing. Hey. A 19 is your total? Yeah. Misses.

Fucking A. That one hits, though, I hope. 28? Hits. Okay. So 28 on the second one. Oh God, what's happening? 16 plus three points of lightning. I'm not gonna play that game, man. I'm playing, I'm playing this game no more. Okay, so 20 damage, tilt.

Did you include your damage for being a dragon? Yes. Okay, so total 20. All right. So now you can see Ryshan emerging from one of the volcanic caves. The storm's swirling around. She begins to pull back into it. You fire two arrows.

One kind of just gets lost in the other one, the other one, into the side of her throat. Can I move? Can I move? You can move three squares? Can I get on my broom? You get onto your broom, yeah. And like move a one square away. One square?

Yeah. Away from Grog and Pike, yeah. There you go. Like that makes any difference, but it's a thing. It's a start. Thanks, Grog. All right. And Vex's turn, Vax, you're right.

Okay, just to clarify, so looking at the minis, her backsides to me, but really, her face is poking out of a hole, right? Like the front half is. Front half of her and she's at the roof, which is 70 feet up, so maybe her head is down, like five feet out, ten feet out, something like that. Roughly, yeah. All right, I want to, and I'm back, right?

You have now, yeah, you've regained your composure. However, your other potion has now worn off. You're no longer resistant to damage. Not invulnerable. I want to fly. Oh, go ahead. My hasted had worn off, right? I just assumed it had, okay.

Yeah. So if I'm 15 feet up and she's maybe 65 down, I'm within range for sharpshooter already. Technically, yeah. Yeah. And last question, when you do for dual wielding, action, bonus action, but you told me once you can reverse that and do bonus action action, I think.

The bonus attack is part of your attack action. So it's actually after your main time. Never mind, then. I'm going to fly straight at her face. Okay. And I'm going to shove the dragon slayer sword into her mouth, and I want to try to sever her fucking tongue out of her mouth. Oh.

Okay, four to take. Whisper, I'm going to do the same thing with the bonus action. That is 26. 26 to hit. That hits. 10 plus four psychic damage, 14. 14 points of damage. Okay, so you go for the tongue, and you get the blade up to the mouth.

Suddenly, her looking down, having a very, very wide view of the entire battlefield. It's very advantageous from her perspective. She sees her at the corner of the IRAs. She turns to try and snap at you, and the jaws coming. down and catch the blade so it doesn't go for the tongue, but you use that momentum to glide it up the actual tooth and jam it into the gum. And that's the, you managed to slam up there and the blood, she spurts out from the wound and rears back. And so now you're kind of flying up by her face now.

I should have like 10 or 15 movement left with 60 for wings, yeah. If I was 15 feet up and she was a little less than 70? 15 feet up, yes, but you're also coming at an angle, which you lose distance on that. So am I at zero? You're pretty much at zero. Just stay in front of her face. Just stay there like Tinkerbell. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Tinger bell. Okay. That ends your turn. You are grabbed. At the end of your turn, she's going to use another legendary action.

That's worth a shot. To do a tail attack against you. She kind of pulls part of her torso out for a moment, and her tail whips out in your direction to try and slam into you. That is a 19. Plus, is a 32? I don't think that hits, actually.

Ah. So I'll use uncanny touch. It's going to be a 24 points of legendary damage, reduced to 12. So there you go. All right. That brings us to Kima's turn. Kima finally arrives. Kima!

Yay! Yay! It's going on. Seriously. That's her turn. That Holy Avengers real heavy. Yeah. Yeah, dude.

So that brings us to Pike. Actually, no, at the end of Kima's turn, let's see here. Russian's going to use a legendary action to attempt another tail attack against you since you since you're within range. That is a- $10,000 to hit.

Shit, just hits. Just hits. Okay. 17 points of blood. Plageening damage. Yeah. Let's move this round. Okay.

All this in direct. Pike. Pike, set. Okay. Okay. If she does flame strike, can she focus it on the ceiling? Or does it have to be on the ground? No, I'd say, let me pull it up real fast here.

It roars down from the heavens in a location, so it doesn't come out of the floor, comes down the ceiling. Okay. So it's her level fight spell. Okay. At Raichon's butt, please, though? At Raichon's butt, not at Vechon's butt. Max. Reishon currently only visible is about maybe 10 feet or so of the, actually pulling out for the tail attack, I'd say about 15 feet.

So if she's careful, yeah, she could probably hit Reishon and not hit. Pike is always careful. So careful. She's the carefulest. Fair enough. Okay. So, wow, that's a really big 60 feet. Damn. That's that shit. So that's 4D6 plus 4D6 radiant.

It's gonna be close. Just look at 50 feet. Yeah, it's roughly about 55 feet up on the ceiling. At 60 foot range, she can just hit Rishon with the columns, yeah. Okay. So that's 8D6 damage. Okay, wow. Go ahead and roll that.

Roshans make the save. I'll roll five, you roll three. Eight D six, you go. There's a dexterity saving throw. Oh, just kidding. 27. I'm pretty sure that saves. No, I want to roll five. I'll roll three.

All right. You roll five. And also makes concentration check from your 35. No. No. No. 31. 31. Yeah.

Okay, so half that to 15. 15 points of damage. Benefit of the doubt. All right, cool. Got it. Why half? She made the saving show. She saved. Yeah. Okay.

Sorry. So you just barely move out of the ways. You watch a familiar gathering of radiant energy up in the ceiling. You see the glimmer on the corner of Rishan's slick eyeballs recessed within the green armor-plated face. The dragon, as all of a sudden, shake column of fire, and radiant energy blasts Rishon on the side of the face. And she's going to back up towards the opening, towards the entrance, a bit. Yeah, like right there. Right there?

It's as far as she can get right there. Cool. She have a bonus action? She's got a bonus action. Does she have any social or something? Oh, yeah, she can, right? Yeah. She can use a level two or less.

Mm-hmm. So yeah, she'll do a level. Does she have, she doesn't have any level two's less. She'll do a level one healing word on herself. Okay. Oh, God, she's at five pit points. Yeah, I know. Not anymore.

She's, she's pike, though. She's now at. This is what she would have done. She's now at. I think. What is the level one healing word? It's like two, it's one D4 plus five or something like that for her. It does an additional D4.

Oh. Right? No, sorry, just one D4, one D4. Plus five. So yeah, seven. So she's at 12 points now. Double didge. Yeah.

It's better. Double didge. That's a, that's a... What's that look, Matt? Seven points of healing. Yep. Cool. So that's any turn?

It's just waiting. Yep. Yeah. Good. Scanion, you're up. Okay. I don't know, man. Looks rough in here. I don't want to be in here. I'll move forward into the left a bit. That's about as far as you.

Oh, sorry. To my right. So to the right. Forward to the right. There. Okay. Yeah. It's a rough fight. fight. But we're winning right now, guys. We're winning. We don't need any help, do we? I totally forgot! How couldn't you forget? It's like I thought about it. I will cuddle. I will cuddle.

He's not going to do it till Ashley's dead. I wrote a limerick. Ashley is almost good. For you. Yeah, she's not dead now. For me? To do what? Perman dead. Wait, wait. I forgot I did it. Have you heard tale of Scanlan the bold? He won't tell us his age, but he's old, with his blade he's a slayer, with the lady's a player, but if he picks up the flute, he's pure gold. Oh! All right, so I'm going to do lightning bolts? I will, I assume that Scanlan feels strange with a brass flute touching his lips, because

he's never played one before. This is true. But does it still come out just as beautiful and pure as always? Roll a performance check. Okay. I'm so nervous. I'm about to cry. It's got a high performance.

30. Oh! In the midst of this chaos, the rumbling of the room, the sound of the lightning and thunder in the clouds, the falling of rock and soot from the ceiling is drowned out by what sounds like the most beautiful, clear flute that just trills.

Don't call the dragon. Call the dragon. You finish the song as you watch the brass glow. It begins to kind of give this weird shine around it that begins to emanate this kind of additional warmth and light from it, and then it dulls, and the brass goes to a very tarnished, dark metal material. It's Amazon Prime. It's going to take three days. It's going to be here.

I play better. You watch the flute, in the hallway behind him. So that's your action. As a bonus, I will, boy, everyone's dying, right? Yeah. Pikes near me. So I'll turn and give her a level two healing word.

Okay. As well. And I will sing to her. I've got myth-carver in my... pocket got that sunshine on my feet when I dance and pans around you you just stop whew and I can so baby handsome and I sing phenomenally there's just something about that note that makes you smile. Woo!

All righty. Oh my God. Like that takes her inspiration die. No, not necessarily healing. So wait, I got a roll or she rolls? You roll, you roll, you roll. Okay. Ooh.

Ooh. No. Eight. She heals eight points. She's up to 20s. She's 20. She can drink next year. All righty.

Thank you for making to go back about that. Percival. Okay, I'm going to, uh... Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is fine. Can't stop. I'm going to, uh... This is fine.

I'm going to take some shots with animus at that awful bastard at the top of the cave. First shot, and I'm not making it a sharpshooter shot. I'm just shooting. That's good, too. Oh, that's not as bad. 24. 24 hits. All right, that's All right, that's... Look at all those piles of gold in the corners. That's 13 points plus five points of psychic damage. Okay.

And another shot. Shat. And that's... Uh, that's, uh... Throw it away. Uh, oh, that's not bad. That's two points of psychic damage to me. Oh, buddy.

He's already unhinged. So that's 54. So first shot. So that was like, thankfully, just an... Ow! Hmm! And I still have... I'm just putting it away.

I'm going to try and pull out the big gun and take one last shot while I'm... Well, I'm... Well, actually, no, that knocks out my attacks, isn't it? Because it's a psychic damage. Well, I was going to say that the same damage doesn't they get your attacks.

I don't have... It's time to switch guns. No, because psychic damage knocks that out, if I recall. No, psychic damage isn't affected by to switch guns. So do I have time to just try and get one more pot shot out, or am I? Was bad news prepared? Yeah, it was fine. It was working fine.

It was fine. Yeah. Nothing's broke. Well, now it is, yeah. Now it is, yeah. Now that's broken. Okay. to what's left of a broken world, praying the darkness chooses someone else tonight. But in the shadow dark, the darkness always wins.

Although, where's my, I do have, okay, so that's great. But it does a lot of damage. Amazing. Double dice. Find one thing and do it. Not bad. Okay, that's 31 points of damage. All righty. That'll

I'm going to turn into pulled pork right now. Well, it's the layer actions now. Oh. So on this one, Earth itself, it turns against us.

It's like some lyrics and incredible. Oh no. From beneath your feet, grog, you feel, and you look down just as the rock splits and a spray, a tiny geyser of molten rock just kind of sprays out where you try and move out of the way in time, but sprays across you, Pike, Scanlan, and Vex. So I need you guys ultimate dexterity saving Thursday. You want to make it first?

It's the most LA joke that I've made in a while. Natural 20, 25. Woo! That'll do. There's nothing natural about that. Purely artificial 25. You've had work done on that 20. This is LA. This is LA.

A lot of LA things right back to back. Man. 21? 21? succeeds. Pikes? 15. Pikes.

Pikes does not succeed. 20, 25. You succeed? All right. So you guys who all succeeded, you take 12 points of fire damage. Half of you resistant. Okay. Oh, go, course. Pike. So six.

To six. Pike takes 12. Tyke takes 12 points of fire damage because she's resistant even though she failed her save. Okay. That's good. That's good. So she's still up. She's still alive. She's still alive. Because of me. Let's just go on record and save. I'll go. I'll go with that. Could you say it in Spanish? No, I cannot.

Tyke, Larry. Yono sorry marino. Number. They have to come in. That's all I can remember. There you go. All right. That brings us back to Raichon's turn. God, okay.

Adios, Mia. She goes ahead and gets her layer legendary actions back. You can leave, it's cool. You can just go. I do not know. Given the current circumstance. We could just go. You guys have gone away.

Right. Right. Rishon. Roshan is going to unleash. Handshake. He is going to unleash a full round of attacks against you as you are right up in her face and stabbed her in the gums. and avoided the entirety of her meteor swarm and you also attacked her.

In defense, she had some corn stuck. He really distracted. He really was really distracted. He was there for like, and she appreciated that, but the rest of the stuff is still fine. That is. 22 to hit. To the bite. It just hits.

It just hits. Maybe you should remind her that we have a deal. That's a 31 hits. And we're supposed to be working together. 22, well, yes, they all hit. What happened to our deal, Rush? The first one is uncanny and then the rest of it. Correct. So the bite attack is halved, which is good.

Is that that one? I don't know. 22 points of piercing damage. It happens to be warm. It is also warm. I don't know about that. You got the warm tingle earlier, right? Oh.

You also suffer 10 points of poison damage. 10 points of poison. Even though he's immune to poison? He's not immune to poison. He is immune to poison. No. Not from that, so our heroes feast does nothing. It was dispel. She dispelled our heroes feast. That's what that fucking shit was. Oh, the total of that. That was the bite attack. So that whole attack is halved. Well, not yours. The poison damage and the piercing

you took is halved. If we felt the way. The claw attack is 26 points of piercing damage. The fax is falling. Okay. Oh no. And the tail. you on the way down. You guys watch as the darkened wings of Vax go limp, and he just plummets. Oh boy. Oh, boy, that's gonna be two deaths right there. Roll a D20.

Oh, is this a death safe? No, this is a trajectory. This is 17. 17. You smack right into the edge, but not into the magma river. River. You hear the cracking sound of bones breaking upon impact and the wings themselves broken, feathers falling and s-burning within the molten rock. The wings slowly fold and curl like a spider dying and then vanish.

That sucks. Are you unconscious? No, not forever. No, not for ever. He just went unconscious. And with that, and she's going to make her movement. You're an agenna. Magma is practically like your arch nemesis, to be fair.

I don't know. Right, Sean is going to him. Poor chema. Bye! I just got here. Is he a single? Yeah, once you've gone unconscious any hate you again, that's what.

Lies over. This way. It's got like this way. Charges, too. It's amazing. All right. And as she emerges now after knocking you out of the air, wings fully out, dry shun,

and then swoops over and is now floating over the lava pool over that way, and appears to be preparing for something. Have I gotten any automatic fails in your death saving? Yes, you did fail at death saving throw from hitting the ground. Getting the ground. Yes. As she does that, I yell up. Could you be more specific? Who is next?

Who? We didn't see who you were looking at over here. No? All right. I guess we'll find out. I don't know what she looking at. I was so preoccupied. I missed it too. All right. That ends Reishon's turn. Kieleth, you're up.

Okay, so Kieleth, pretty pissed off from seeing her boyfriend spiked from the sky. I'm going to kind of get a few, well, no, I guess I can stay here, kind of above the lava, create a sort of swirling, angry, lava vortex of lightning and fire, and I gotta hit her again with lighting. Okay. Make her save. I say 12 plus 9, that is 21.

I believe that she does say. Yeah, she saved. So it takes half damage, so 40, 10 halved. 14 plus 7, 21 total, half. Okay, so 10 points of lighting damage. Yeah, not great. Okay, do you wanna move or you stay where you are? You can't heal as a bonus, actually, can you?

No, I can't do anything. Does Vax look like he's about to fall in the lava? Vax is approximately one foot from the edge of the... One third my size. Is it flat or is it? It's slightly domed in. Do you have flame resistance right now? Not crazy, though.

Yeah? You say you're on the armory flame resistance, right? I'm the armor. Okay, so I'm going to use my movement then. I'm going to be very careful to make sure I touch. the armor, the Raven Queen armor, and I'm going to see if I can just fire elemental, like, roll him away from the edge a little bit. Okay. The armor is set of flame resistance. Yes, it is. You're saying you were, like, rolling him in the lava. I'm just going to push him in a lava.

It's nice. One with me. Okay, so. I did do that. I will say, I will say the touch of a fire elemental ignites whatever it touches. That's kind of the essence of the element. But he has fire resist. Right, which means it'll take half damage from any fire that you deal. However, being the fact that you are in control of your form, you're not trying to hurt something,

I would say that you could carefully push him aside and I'll allow you a death-saving throw as opposed to just taking straight damage. Okay. Oh. I'm making a... I'm rolling at advantage of his down. Okay.

Oh, we're good. We're good. You push them up over this edge. Let me help you. Oh, God, I killed you. I feel like in another dimension that's going to go so well. So you can roll them over feet feet. That would be the most keel of thing to do.

I love you so. Oh, God, I kill everything I love. I totally wanted it. George, I hugged the puppy really hard. No, no. No. I'm sorry, George. You barely move him, you only get him five feet because he's being so careful.

You could have moved him further, but he would have been ignited in the process. Oh, my God. I got that extension so bad. Can't wait. Is that in your turn? I'm going to then take a few steps back away from him now. Okay.

Back this way, back where you were? Yeah, yeah. You would have turned to do a vestige. I don't have to pretend I'm already like you're bringing them up. Okay, did you turn? Yeah. Okay, at the end of your turn, Rayshan's from her head and cast a spell.

Duvay, deval. Duvade. All righty. You watch. No. Is Reishon over in the edge? Her front claws begin to form this strange geometric sigil in the middle of the air, and each corner of it is a different color. Green.

Orange, yellow, red, purple. No. No. No? This giant burst. Can I try to counter spell her? What's the range on that? 60 feet, am I just there?

Come on, Scanlan. Oh, God, Scanlan. What is she casting? What is that? Cromatic Sprague. She's within range. Oh, God. Please.

Go ahead and make your roll. D20 add six. 18. You rolled an 18? No, I rolled a 12. Rolled a 12. That's an 18 total. It is a, hold on a second.

Oh, God, I can't breathe. I'm pretty. Pretty sure as the... I get a plus two for... Right, I know. The sigil, as the burst of colored light begins to spray forward, you watch as it just... Wakes up for two seconds, says,

Unimann, and lies back then. Shit! Never could use prismetic spray. Oh. That was the Bay Ruiner, right? It would have not been Jackie and I. It would have been good. There's no chance that was like a healing spray.

Probably. No, no. A gesture of surrender. It was kind of like rainbows. It's like a stagerness captain planet on it. It's just, worst. Like the most fucked up Coder stare. All right, so as the spell dissipates,

oh, same. Roshan angrily, You got eggs and you're gonna lose them. You got eggs. Oh, God. All right, so that ends Keyleth's turn. That brings us to Gilmore. Gilmore over here, he's, what else does he have left

on the tank here? He's gonna do a level four lighten. That's a chromatic spray. The spray could have been many things though. Yes. It's a wheel of death. They're all bad. Oh yeah.

One of them's like 70 points of just goop. Each cover is like, mhm. Bad. Yeah. Gilmore is going to... It's a great way of dealing with people who are attuned to deal with you. 30. As you were looking at that for a while. Yeah, it was. It was good. It looks good.

It's really good. It's very easy. It's rainbow. Yeah. Cover. Okay. I can do this for first. Check out those Gilmore T-shirts.

I know. Sorry, I'm checking to make sure he can do this, because this is what he's trying to do. Gilmore's wearing one right now. Hey Laura, are those key chains laser etched? Why, they are. It's so funny, you should ask. Wow, what about the, what about the- So, what about the keychain or the necklace? So Gilmore, Gilmer runs up, it's like, and just vanishes from his place and instantly blinks.

Up over into this area using his misty step as his bonus action. And looks upward. How do you like it? One raises his hand. Yeah! As he pulls this way, you watch as this necromantic energy against to gather around his hands, a familiar spell to you, Kieleth.

We're black, motherfuck-a-muth. As you watch the diseased, blackened veins up the side of Reishan's body begin to spread and grow momentarily and kind of begin to dig their way into her throat. She begins to pull backward, unfamiliar with this sudden internal pain. Rolls a natural 20 for her save. Oh, man.

But regardless, that's still eight to eight. I'm genuinely kind of disappointed, though, that he rolled at 21. I think he's just, it made me feel good. He's a really good actor. See, we're not even gonna need the flute guy. I hope he shows up.

I hope he's not like, that was for Thorntide bucks. He's not getting out. He's tacking, like, his carry-on. He's at TSA right now. He's like, I have nothing else meddle on me. I don't even, oh, I'm Bronx. 17 points of necrotic damage to Ryshon. How many?

17 points of necratic damage to Arishon with the save. That's Gimor's turn there. That brings us to Grog. Me? Yes. Your Dragon-based tumor is way too, way too tight right now. Can I run a tight tent with Sean? Yeah. You have all sat just on dragons and serpents.

Can I attach the chain of returning to the axe? Yes. And can I swing it really hard and go, Yeah, catchphrase, and throw it up. Yes, you can. Good. Reckless, please. Yes, you may.

Laura. That's a natural 20. T-shirt. Whoa! That's right. All right. Oh, and with the brutal critical, I get two additional damage.

Yeah, two additional D-12s to that. So roll the die first. Plus, don't forget, you double the narcotic die. Yeah. I do double the narcotics. Oh, great. Sweet, okay.

That's a six, so that's 12. Oh, and I'm at large, where's a triangle? Who took the triangle? I don't. Here you go. You got like Valley Girl on that. You look like a lot. Three, that's 29. And then two additional D12.

Correct. Nine. 38. 10. 10. 48. 48. 48.

48. Not many. Not few. Okay. Did you double those extras? Can you do double those dice as well? No. Okay.

You get two additional damage died at my level. Okay. So as you rush up, catchphrase and throw the axe sideways. It arcs upward, and Rishan, who's currently kind of reeling from the dispel and angrily, like, yelling into the room in Draconic, gets partway into a phrase, just finishing, the axe just jams into the side of her collar bone and front torso area. The axe is still kind of wedged there. Are you going to pull back? Yeah, I'll pull it back.

So go ahead and roll your... You have 12. to get up 12. I don't know why you're looking over here for that. Straight. I'll let you. Yeah, I got it. 14.

283. Yeah. So yank and the axe just lodges itself and you catch it. It's covered in Rishan blood. As you pull the axe back, you watch, suddenly there's a flash of arcane energy around her, and some sort of spell, uncasted by her, just seeming automatically just kind of surrounds her, and her flying begins to speed up. Not cast by her. She just, she got haste. But how? How?

I didn't know I was this powerful. What the fuck happened? How did she get hasted? What are gonna find out? So is that you turn? What if the brass dragon is helping her? You have a little... Or what if the Ayes are helping her? Yeah, you have maybe 15 more feet.

I don't know. I'm just like putting things out there. Maybe. Rolling towards that end of the map as far as I can go. This end? Yeah. Sure. That end of the map. Can I go that way? There you go.

Yeah. That's cool. All right. Ready. Great. Oh, God. The engine at the end of your turn. Try code pit roll. Probably won't do anything. She's going to use legendary action. At this point, in her kind of sped up, so she begins to say, yeah, it's a spout.

And there's a slight ripple again in the air, similar to what Gilmore did towards right of the early part of the battle. Let me see the... We're making some bad grouping. there, by the way, people. Yeah. Hearing any lines.

Yeah. I don't have more distance. You feel a kind of a strange warmth and tingling sensation within your body, Scanlan. Oh. What? Me? But I didn't do anything. You relieved yourself gently.

Did you just pee? Okay. All right, can you cast tinkle? I don't get a save or anything? It's not a save. It's against an effect on you. It's not a save. and she rolls to, just like how you roll to overcome her spell with a counter spell.

She gets to roll to overcome whatever effect is on you with dispel magic. Okay. So, that's going to be last of her legendary actions. She's just dispelled all of them. All right. We bust out a feast right now. Just like sit down. We can make Eggs Benedict.

Yeah. We have the makings for Eggs Benedict. Does that dispel my fire resistance as well? No, it only affected the hero's feast. Okay. You'll have to explain that something. Vex, you're up. So giving a potion somebody is a full action?

Yes. Because you have to basically get there, open it, grab them, and help them swallow it to have the effect take place. They'll be doing the order. So it's pretty involved action. Oh, that means we don't have advantage on death saves either, right? Wait.

Did we ever? Yeah, we did. Oh, that's from Beacon of Hope. That's gone. Is that gone? Okay, yeah, that cut eaten. Okay, then I'm gonna fly down to my brother. And I'm gonna cast cure wounds on him,

At fourth level, so that's 4D8. Okay. 4D8. 19 plus 8. Wow. Wow. Hey. You don't got no wings anymore.

She did? No. Oh, shit. Get away from the lava. And then I'm gonna fly away from the lava. Up. This way? Towards Matt.

Yeah, towards Matt. Up and towards Matt. Kind of away from Pike. Actually, let's go. Oh, God. Go this way? I don't know. Yes.

Yes. What you just did. That's about as far as you can get right there. Okay. And I got a bonus. I can do something with a bonus. I'm gonna re-hunters marker. Okay, yeah, because you do.

Yeah. So, Hunter's Mark, reapplied. Oh, wait. I can take a potion for myself as a bonus. Yes. I'm gonna do that. All right, go for it. Yeah.

Get it. Okay. Is your regular potion? Just a superior. Oh, right. The one they gave me. That is an 8D4 plus 8? That's a 4.

An Easter egg. I'm so excited. I do? There's like several different goals ways that you could do. So 21 plus 8, so 29. Nice. You healed yourself that much? Jesus, it's a big post.

That was, I rolled really well. I may make one for the table. I didn't trust that I would roll. That ends your turn, that? Yes. Back zero. Okay, so half my move just to get to stand in, right? Correct.

Okay, I'm gonna throw Whisper Flame Tongue. Ryshana should be within 60 feet, yeah? Uh, yeah. Okay. 17 for the first. Fails. Second is 22. 22, just hits. That's it. That's Roshana. That's the one right there.

22? 22? How much image? 10. 10. 10 points image? All right. And I'm going to use my remaining 15 of movement to go diagonally away from Rishana. diagonal away this way? Away from a diagonal.

Here? Yeah. Okay, that's as far as you can get there. Okay. That means your turn. That brings us to chemo. Kimo rushes in. Holy Avenger, looks over at the distant dragon and goes,

Who's hurting? Everyone. I'm fine. I am. I don't want to say anything, though, but I kind of am. I feel kind of shitty. Sorry. Hi. I feel like shit.

I'm kind of bleeding from my ears, but... Kema has an action who's going to cast a... I can deal with it, it's no big deal. I'm going to say third level cure wounds. And Matt, my wings are totally straight. That's 17 points of healing to Pike. Okay, thank you. And Kimmy is just going to go in a full run.

Oh, it does taste there. All right, that ends Kimus' turn. There is a flash of light in the tunnel behind you guys. What? A sudden burst of kind of a whitish, orangeish energy that kind of briefly halos Kima Scanlan and Pike's forms as you watch a brass talon. Brass talon that, since it was used as the top of our tree,

I forgot to bring its base, but we'll be acting there. It was a beautiful tree. Hey, look, he's standing. You've been drinking, Bradford. Oh, Jamon, you're looking good. Jamon. Jamon. Have you been working out?

You look like you've been working out. He watches as they arrive and kind of bullied their way past the entrance. I was wondering when you... Glad you... came. Nothing cool. Nothing cool. Swindwright. The show is glad you here.

We're happy to see you. No court speak here. How is the flight? I actually broke on my platforms, so I'll just have to be, I use my imagination for some of it. We need modeling play. Quick. Fishing wire, we can just string it from the top of the set. Yeah, yeah. Just attach it to a string.

There you go. Germon, they stomp their way into the room, stepping over you, Scanlan, stepping past you, Vax, nestles in, kind of surveys the territory. A different color than I was expecting. And releases a blast of fire breath upwards in the direction of it. Smoke him if you got them. Come on, go on.

Chamon. Shaman. That's a 23. Okay, makes the deck safe. So Rush on. Pulls out of the way with the benefit from the haste spell. However, it does still take damage, half damage from the spell. That's 16d6 damage.

Wow. 16. Team D6. Oh, he still does. This might actually help. Nobody expects the market inquisition. That is 58 points of fire damage. Half of that.

Holy crap. Two, 20. 29. Do you just burp? Did you just? Did you? 3.9 points of fire damage to Rajan. From DeVosa's flame breath,

or Jamonza Lord, as you know. Wow. So he makes concentration check. succeeds. Damn it. So the haste remains viable. Okay, that ends. Germon's turn.

Pike is up. Shabbard. Okay. Pike. Who. Come on, girl. She's going to cast mass healing word. Can she get the most people in her radius.

What's the range on it? It is a 60-foot radius. Oh, radius. Run her out. Yep. That's the biggest radius to be right there. And this is kind of just under Jamong's giant brass dragon wing. Okay.

That's not gonna heal Roshan, is it? No. No, no. She's chosen targets. Up to six creatures? Who you choose? Who else? Raise your hand if you would like to be.

Grog is within range? Grog and her. So that's Grog, Pike, Vex, Vax, and Percy. Well, hey, if you can do six. And Scanlan. Oh, sorry, Scanlan. I'm not going to say, no. Well, I'm behind a dragon, honey.

It's okay. I'm going to dispel this shit. That's, I don't think she can. Okay, she's just going to do this. Wait, can she do it on herself as well? Yeah. Okay. Nine, nine points.

Great. That's a bonus. I know. I know. Okay. Nine is good. There's not really anything else right now. Technically, it's nine times six.

So you did a lot of hailing. All of her major spells were used. Still in the game. Nine, ten, six is a lot. Is everyone got nine? Nine points, okay. That brings me up into the 60. Decadent.

Just a nice Southern California day. Where are you at? 50s. And then can she, did she have any movement left? I'm sorry. No, that was her full movement to get there. I don't know what are we going to do. I haven't taken any damage to my fire at all.

She's under a right. That's true. true. She's going to duck as much as she can under the Jamon. Okay. For protection. And say, oh, you look very nice. Thank you. There you go. Thank you for helping us. Rubin buff. At this point, I feel like you guys are better at Ashley than she is. No, shut up. All right.

It's a cast of thousands. It takes us to play, actually. And then Pike's turn, Scanlan. You're up. Oh, oh, shit. I should have been thinking about what I was going to do. Yes, you should have. Yes. Okay, I will shoot some stuff at the Raichon of it all. Do it. What are you doing?

I'm going to shoot lightning bolt at Raichon from my dick. Yes. So as you begin creating your incantation and thrust your hips forward, Ramon Sa'ord turns their head beneath the wing in your direction and arcs a brow. I just nod. Like, yeah, this is happening. As the bolt of energy streaks forth from your groin in the direction of the dragon, that is a 15. It's going to use one of Reishon's legendary distances to resist it, so half damage.

Okay, fine. 35 halved. $35.17. That's a good roll. That is a good. That was mostly sixes and fives. Alrighty. And do you wish to move?

There you are. Oh. No, I would like to move. I would like to move forward a bit, still within the De Vosso range. Like by Piking Kimo? Yeah. Oh, can I move to the other side of DeVos. Yeah.

can move just underneath, kind of running between the legs and get about there. And, uh, yeah, shoot, is anyone else, how's Gilmore look? Gilmore is standing and seems to be doing all right, but has seen a lot of struggle from the last battle and is currently about, you can see like a little bit of blood kind of dried and curling from one side of the mouth, hairs must up and looks to be a few burn marks across the skin, and it's kind of, you know, a little out of breath, but it's still. standing. It's like the level two Mike Tyson's punch out. Yeah.

Gilmore's roughly half out. Nice. I knew that would break you. I love that, Robert. So I'll use a healing word on Gilmore. Why not? Because I don't want to use any. I got one more inspiration, so I'm not going to use that yet. So yeah, I will heal Gilmore.

Okay. Oh, yes, sorry, I've got a roll. Uh, nine. Total nine? Yeah. Great. All right. Better it's your turn? Uh, yes. Yes. Yes. All right. Percival, you're up. Nice job.

Okay. I, I'm, I don't have it marked down that I burn my action surge, but I think I burned my action surge last, last game. But I still do have two points of footballs ruin, if I recall. You do, yes. Okay. So I'm just making sure it sounds like. All right, so I'm going to, uh, from my little Van Gogh, take a shot with bad news see how this goes and I'm gonna burn a grit for advantage let's do this yeah I mean I've been fine but we can do better yeah that's already better come on 30 points to 30 to hit 30 does hit yeah all right so let's use these they're sparkly 2d 12 plus 6 plus I'm gonna throw 2d6 worth of electric

2d4 with of electric right Learning how to use. Oh, 1D6. No, never mind. Here we go. So let's add. Empty out Cabals ruined. Ugh, that's awful.

10 points of damage plus six points of lightning damage. That's terrible. For me, it's a concentration. So that, you watch as you send the last bit of the charge through the cloak as the energy shoots up your arm into the gun. And as you fire, it travels with the bullet and burst into this kind of weird, kind of reverse shockwave. The energy returns and slams for a second time into Rishan's

body. Nice. I have one more shot. So I'm going to take my last shot, although there's no more electricity. That's probably not going to hit. That's 18 to hit. That does not hit. No, it does not hit. But at least it doesn't backfire. It hits the side of the hide, rickshades off the dragon skips. I'm going to start

running. I know you don't have a little plastic thing, but I'm going to just, I'm feeling a little over clumped over there. So I'm going to start running up the wall at an angle. So probably three up and three, three up, three up, three sides. We'll mark you at 25 feet up on the wall. Just keep that in mind. Okay, and it's Percy.

Top of this now is another layer of election. Crawl's going to put us at the Magnetorruption T. No, he could do that. All right. It's like watching someone tell you, like, complicated. All right, another, the, the Magnetorruption. The magmova here begins to bubble, and you watch as one of these strange protrusions from the rocky ground begins to bow upward and then crack open as another familiar cloud of gas begins to spill out in this area. Be totally immune. Vax. Vex Scanlan. I need you guys to make Constitution saving throws.

This is just the worst. Charmon. Shaman. Does be. Four. No. 14. 18.

Some of the giant. Okay. You do make it. 18? 18, yes. The two of you managed to succeed. Wow. Pike as well? Yeah, medicine.

Hold on. That's got to make it. 13. 14. Okay. That's actually really really. So this cloud is still kind of permeating this area.

I'm securing it slightly. Ending that now, it is Rishand. Wait, what did I do? What happened to me? Oh, you rolled a four? Yeah. So when your turn comes around next? I die.

I'll let you do. No, you'll just be coughing and incapacitated. The coughing fit that this poison gas creates is so bad that you can't do anything but happy. It's called L.A. Smoke. Yes. Now being Ryshan's turn. Uh, d'all hasted.

Pardon me here? Right Sean is going to dart backward and snatch up this one egg no grabs it and kind of carries it up underneath she does care she cares let's kill them eggs here bear stare wait maybe she's just trying to be good she's gonna throw it out of her she could go all donkey gone she could go all donkey don't get there and back to grab that. She kind of swoops down, grabs it, moves forward, ever so slightly, this way. And release is, actually, it's not from back here. No.

It's going to release a giant burst of poisonous breath. Plexing glass. Oh. Oh. Feudging glass. What? Kima shrugs it off. Pike shrugs it off. Grog, you shrug it off because you resist the dispelled in oar. earlier. Gilmore ate the feast earlier and was also unaffected. However, I need...

Gilmore... Gilmore didn't get the feast. That's right, because you only have so many people eat from it. All right, I need Gilmore Vax, Vex, and Scanlan to all make Constitution saving throne. What's the different poise in them would just spit out of the ground. Wow. Wow. Wow, that's not happy. This is such a pretty die.

Did you say Pike? Did you say Pike as well? Pike didn't get dispelled. So Pike is immune. I got a nine, Matthew. You got a nine? Constitution? Yes. Nine. Not you, not you, personally. I didn't have to write it. I'm just mocking him. 16. She's going to turn. 14. 14? Yeah. Okay. You guys in Scanlan all suffer 83 points of poison damage. Oh my! God! How many? 83. Gilmore makes his savior the 19 plus three.

So he gets 40. He has 41. Thanks to your heel earlier, Gilmore is still standing with two hit points. That makes two of us, friend. I'm at two hit points as well. Wow. How are y'all doing? We're unconscious. Did our...

Did our... You... Brass dragon get hurt at all, or no? Brass dragon better do his here in a minute. Oh, fuck. Rolls a one on a saving throw. He's going to use legendary resistance to make the save. Yeah.

So he only takes. Block it, but we're awesome. They only take. Forty- 41 points of damage there. Okay. So as this billows forth, twins go out together.

So Vex, you fall unconscious. Vex, you fall unconscious, fall off the broom, hit the ground, taking four points by you. Taking four points of damage, you suffer a death saving throw from the image. Oh shit. Like a teeny little 10 foot fall? That's a fucking stupid. It's only a D6 of legendary damage, but when you're unconscious while falling, you now realize the downside of flying all the time.

Damn it! Didn't you put airbags on that thing? I did. I have a helmet on. Did you, that's, I put airbags in the witch's hat. That's what that witch hat knows, right? It's magic. Yeah, I forgot to tell you the witch hat is magic. Little balloons. As the poisonous breath billows out and everyone's coughing and falling over, you watch the twins fall unconscious, Rishan kind of grins. You've got a few surprises, I see.

No, does she have more surprises? I think that's what she meant. I hope that's not. There's cake and ice cream upstairs. I have more surprises. Guys, I think she has more surprises. something. That's literally what she does that.

Well, I just saw maybe the breath was a surprise. And then it's going to use the rest of her movement to whip over here. I wish that would be. Damn it. Damn it. Why'd she have to leave? I just wanted to give her a high five. You need a heel of the hell out of these people.

And the other claw is not touching. She's carrying. She's carrying two eggs underneath. She's got to claw tats. It still has 40 feet of movement. It's true. And is going to turn back. Football spike.

And flies there. Didn't pick up anything else? Just grab the two eggs in his position there. All right. That ends. Rishon's turn. Kielth, you're up. Can you heal?

I'm wondering if I should drop this and start doing beefier stuff now. Yeah. I think now's the time. This is only injured. Back so far, so. Me and... They're both unconscious.

Oh, great. With one death saving, throw already failed. Great. Because that's not worth. Not just me. Okay. I am going to move from... And Pikes, like, out.

Out from over the lava. Oh, how I feel like... She's got some cantrip. This direction? Geez, I can't tell. Which way? This way? This way. See the laser pointer? No, no, no.

No, I had it. I had it, and it went away. Okay, over here? No, it's the wall. Yeah, over there. Over here. Uh-huh. And how far away is Raichon from me now? I'd say roughly 30 feet, 35 feet. Okay, I don't want to be that,

oh, it'll give me like one more closer to her. There you go. And how close am I from the twins now, roughly? I can't even see the twins. You're about 30, another 35 feet from them. Okay, let me move up five more feet so I can be within 30 feet of the twins. Okay.

Okay, now I'm going to drop my, Well, the both twins, you'd have to move there. You drop your form? Drop my form. All right. I hope this is not a terrible idea. I'll put you there. We're at that point.

We're at that point. This is Dungeons and Dragons. This is dungeon and dragons. I'm going to bust out the Spire of Conflokes. So I'm going to bust out the staff. I'm going to be like, you bitch. And then aim it. I'm going to do chain lightning.

and can I try and hit her and the two eggs? And maybe, like, since I still have the storm going, like, it just looks cool. Sure. All right. Reishon saves. Reyeshawn saves. The eggs cannot save, technically.

So go ahead and roll damage. Don't you get, like, the lightning attacks, too, if you're doing chain lighting? You still get the other lightnings that are there? I have to choose to make an action. It's still there, but I can either, like, do other things or choose to do a thing. I understand.

Yeah, I think. Sorry, I don't do that. 10-D-8. Do you need some d-8s? I have one, two, three, four, five. I think I'm good. I'll just roll five twice. Oh, God, oh, God, so good. Did she save?

Yes, she did. But the eggs didn't. No. Okay, that's not phenomenal. Three, three, three. 36, 9, 10, 11, plus 4 is 15 plus, what I say, 15, 25, 29, 36 total. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh, and I get to re-roll this one.

38. 38. Okay. That would be 29, oh, sorry. 19. No, from 13, 19, 19. 19 damage to right, Sean, and the two eggs. You watch the bolt, it's, and arcs through her,

arcs through the eggs, you see it to shh, around the eggs, still carrying them, no visual. It didn't do anything to them? Nothing you can see, no. Nothing I can see. Maybe I'm like, hard-boiled. It might have them. I might have nuked them a bit.

Or gave them extra-lating. Or yeah, or I turned them into the little vision dragons. Yeah, one of the two. Okay, and then for my bonus section, I'm going to do a healing word on Vax. Okay. I'm just gonna do it at first level. Sorry.

No, you're gonna, hey. Back up. Three plus my head. So nine total. Thank you. Okay. At the end of your turn, watching you form over,

shoot over the lightning and kind of hit the eggs and all of a sudden, breath come back to the lungs of Vax and the ground. Right. Schoen. Still, her front claws kind of form this small spiral as the air grows surprisingly cold, causing this kind of mist to form around

the extended ends of her claws. As she puts her arms forward, casting cone of cold outward from her. I wonder if they're elemental like amplifiers. The eggs? I think maybe they're... Just eggs? No, I think she may be onto something.

That's going to be... It's gonna hit. Nope. Nope. Does not hit Gimor? However, I need Scanlon. Would I be able to counter spell this, or am I already in a cloud of smoke and coughing?

Oh, you can't technically move, because you're doubled over. I'm already in the cloud, right? Yeah. Sorry. You're in the cloud, but you can be restored. Can you've been backed up? Can Gilmore back to spell? Back please?

Back, please? You're suddenly becoming me tonight. I know you're playing a lot of, you're playing a lot of hands here. You're so handsome and charming. Shout out. What's the range on that? Unfortunately, Gilmore's out of just out of range. God damn it.

Oh, okay. That's a good looking out, though, good looking out. No, I'm trying. So that is Kima, Pike, Jemann, Scanlan, Vax, and Vex. I'll make Constitution saving throws. Constitution. Oh, I'm unconscious. So you take another death.

Save death. Cool. God damn it. We need to fix that. I've got one save left. Please, we got to fix that. Fail. Did I, wait, Vaxi Poo, did I give you my cold armor?

I'm VexiPoo. Yeah, you did, but it's not attuned. You're not even using it? And even not even a half damage, she's unconscious. Well, I am, I'm just not getting cold. Okay. Yeah, so you're two deaths saves. In the impact, you're unconscious to be.

to zero. You take... I rolled an 11. 11, yeah. So you take 40, 43 points of cold damage. I'm so dead. No, no, unconscious. Unconscious. You're unconscious. Negative 41. Roll for Pike? It doesn't matter what you're negative.

Oh, God. Unless it's your total hit point. Yeah. Roll for Pike, if you could, please. Well, that was... That, that... I could count it, but, yeah, that was... It was better when I... No, not anymore. That's fine. What is this? What is this? Constitution. What is this?

Five. Because I suck. Pike takes another 43 points of cold damage. Pike is unconscious. The gnom's down. Well, we've got chema. Whoa. The twins and the gnomes are out.

Whoa, we're down four? We're down four. This is serious, you guys. Don't worry, DeVos is here to give one shot of 28 points of damage. Come on, DeVosa, do something. I would hit the dragon because it's low enough, but it's all the other side of the map. All righty, so that's the end of Keeleth's turn. It's now Gilmore's turn.

Come on, Gilmore. Do you have mass cure Gilmore? Cymour does not cure, unfortunately. It's not his specialty. He's used a lot of his spells. He'd cast like carnival. Oh, wait. I think we need to start taking out those eggs. Shit.

No, that was poison. He shot, the Roshan shot poison at us, right? No, cold. Cold the last time. Yeah. No, the cold this time, the previous time was poison. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Never asked it, though. No, never asked. No. Gilmore kind of rushes around, Jermon almost as a defensive standpoint, but also kind of taking in the circumstance, watching this blast of cold air come through, kind of looks around, seeing everyone on the ground,

and like, oh, God, oh, God. And in a fit of rage and needing to lock this down, is going to go ahead of what he has left, his disposal to release a, all we can only do is a lightning bolt, which Shrexon rolls. One, good, good. Hey! ...to use the legendary resistance to resist it. Oh, yeah.

I have to pee so bad. I gotta get up. How do you want to do this? I know. 10 points of lighting damage to do it. I'm gonna be, what I'm scared of is that I'm going to be away from the table when I actually die. But I have to pee. Go pee, go pee, it's fine. Just don't kill me while I'm not at the table came at. I'll do my best. Hey, when she gets back, let's all be crying.

Don't, I heard it down. No, I heard it down. You're the worst person. That's amazing. It's a second longer. Rog? Yeah. Actually, no.

Oh, yeah. Thank you, thank you. That was safe. Beautiful. Big found my bass. Oh, wow. Look at all those minis that are flattened. So.

Wake up our healer. Look at that. It looks much more majestic when it's up in the air. Oh, God. I'll juggle in here. Stay on there. All right. So, at the end of that turn, there was two more legendary actions from Nyshaun. Two more? She has four. To cast a Melf's Acid Arrow at Gilmore. He's underneath here. Okay. No one said D&D was easy, guys. Okay, a ring spell attack. See how that hits. So that is 4D4.

Acid damage against. Five. 10 points of acid damage. Gilmore is now also down. Was that five total? We had acid burning. Five down. As Gilmour runs past the dragon,

Raishon just with this almost underhanded, flips her claws out. claws out and this one little greenish dart of Arcaneity Slams into Gilmore's chest. We're so close. I don't know what to say. We're so. We're so flurting into him like Haley and Gila.

This is something that's a horrible record. Oh, we just want to con just come to you? Yeah. Sit down. Oh no. Keemo. Percy, Keelah. It's up to you.

Rog, it's your turn. Oh, wait, Grog. I forgot. Grog. Hey. Is there anything you can do to fix this? I have a question. Yes.

So my speed is 50, but I don't know if I ever thought I'm going to I thought out what my speed is enlarged-ish. It's not doubled, right? I don't really have a card for it. It doesn't say anything about my speed. Wait, for which one? If he was enlarged. If you're enlarged, no, it doesn't increase your speed at all.

Yeah, okay. Still 50. You're still 50. You're bigger. I just take big, big steps. Yeah. So from where I am, if I wanted to head towards you, how far could I get? You could get that far there. That does fuck all.

That, yeah. Chain axe, I can throw the axe, but pike's uncautches. I'm going to run stuck. Start saving shit. Okay. And I have the middle potion available. The greater. Greater.

From Andrew Garfield and Scarlet-Johansson to Christopher Nolan,

casting what-ifs, backstage stories, and much more. Listen to HappySaid Confused on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. So you're going to use your action to administer the Greater Healing POSU. A whole thing, yeah. All righty, go for it. To Pike? How many is it?

I don't know. That's 4D4. Yeah, 4D4 plus 4. Okay. Hey, 7 and 4, 11. 15. 15. 15 points. 15 points to park.

15 points to park. And she still has her turn coming up. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Okay, that's good. But she has basically no spells left. She's got no spell slots?

Any spell higher level spell slots open? She's got a fourth level. And then she can burn a fourth... To heal somebody at a fourth level. She can heal you at a fourth level because you need healing now. That is your turn? Like, it's not even fun. Vex, it's your turn.

You need you to make a death saving threat. God damn it. I could die. Wait, this is the last one. This could be it. This is my last death saving time. Gold D-20, let me know what you're going. No advantage, no, nothing.

Oh, God, fucking, that one. I'm losing, now I'm doing your safe. I failed it. Oh, God. What's your role? Five. Five. They're on the banks of the lava flow and Thorax layer.

The breath escapes vex, her body going still, and. And unfortunately not cold because of the vicinity of the flames, but Vex has fallen. I have a version of fire. Yeah. Okay. Vax. That's unconscious.

Deaths. Yeah, with advantage. Made it. That brings us to Kima. Kima, who's... Pike is now conscious, correct? The potion, yes. Pikes conscious with 15 points.

Kima is kind of panicking, watching all this happen, and kind of seeing this happen in the distance, looks to Gilmore, looks to Vax. It's kind of frustratingly just throws the sword of their side and reaches down and does a level two healing word to Gilmore. That is 12. So Gilmore is back conscious. It's a bonus action, so can she heal someone else? Alrighty. That ends. Kemma's turn is now... Is she not going to do it? That's a bonus action. Can she do it twice? No, that was not healing or not, sorry. Cure wounds. Oh, damn it.

And she's going to move, stepping over his body, keep it going, friend, leaps over him. Two, three, four, five. And she kind of runs past, pulling the sword out again, looks up at the dragon and says, All right, show us what you can do, buddy. There's a lot riding on this. After Gima is Jamon.

They look down at the running halfling. Well, dire as it may be. That's why we're he. Let's see if he gets his breath back. Better not get the breath back. Um. Shit. Just, break down.

Just bitch slap like Sean. Can you battle? No legendary. Take your errands off. Come on. Rushes up and get right up into Reishon space. Yes. Dragon on dragon.

Kind of. He has a base now? Why does that happen? While you're being? just rushes up in the Raichan. You feel the wind kind of blast past as the wings of Jamonza or DeVosa pick them up and they rush around strafing the side of Raichan

and unleash a barrage of attacks against her. That would be, first one is 16. No, bite misses. Three and a two, really? Really? No, no, no, no. Come on, man. Come on, man.

Come on. I don't believe. Look at all the notes. Look at all the notes. I don't believe it! Three, two, and one. That is ridiculous. You know why this happened?

Because you took so long to call. Yeah, I know, I know. They got bored waiting at home. And yeah. So, it's me, it's on me. As Jean-Man rushes up and unleashes Raichon, who is slippery at best and really, really, really, creepy deceitled at her worst,

dodged to the sides, she's using the shadows and the cloud of the storm in the air to kind of hide her form as Jemann reaches out and start slashing. Rishan, who now has this kind of wild look in her eyes of now mounting victory from a moment of fear earlier, just manages to avoid the first two strikes, and the third one the tail slaps against the side of Rishan's body. Wack and smacks to no effect. That ends Jermon's turn. Buk.

It is now Pikes' turn. How close is she to pick? Book. Book. Pike is about 25 feet away. She's gonna run up, kneel down, wait, kiss, back in the fore and say, not like this, buddy, and cast Revivify, her last spell.

It is her last. Yep. Revivify is touch, and she's coming up from unconscious prone, which means she doesn't have the movement to get there to touch. Plake is unconscious? Or no, she was... She was... She was not unconscious, so?

She was up with... 15, I put the... Oh, oh. Yeah. She had 15. But she was still, she was lying down. She was lying on it. No, she was prone.

She was prone for reason. Oh, why did I just pick her up? No, so she can move. She can't get there. That's okay. Use her. Where, who's she near? How much time does we live off I?

A minute. Oh, under a minute. Yeah. Oh, well, she can make her way. Oh, she's got Sprinter's boots on. She just texted. Had she used him recently? We didn't use him in the last fight

because we didn't realize she had him, no. Well, the internet will let us know. We didn't use him in the fight with Thorac. But didn't even know she had him, so we didn't use him. Right, right. So, do you have any other healing spells that can work at a distance? She's dead. She's dead.

She's going to do the pipe. Oh, yeah. So this is it's do nothing? I mean, I don't know. Spooners, but we'll let her double her movement for a round. So it will get there. She's writing in all caps, Sprinters. All right, so revivify.

All right. Oh, my God. Now, this is mid-combat. For the purposes of this. Oh, God. How does it take to Kass? It's instantaneous. It's been less than six sections.

One action, instantaneous. Yeah, she did lay out less than six seconds, man. I understand. So, this is going to be a rapid resurrection skill challenge. Oh, God, really? Fuck me. Yeah. So, but this is only from Pike because it is a singular role.

So, as... Can Ashley roll? Do you want to roll Ashley? As Pike rushes up, what does Pike utilize to implore Vex's soul to return? Leah, you answer. Um, she... grabs a dagger out of Vex's belt and cuts off a lock of her hair and presses it into Vex's hand. It's not time. It's not time for you. No. Go ahead and she'll be 20.

She's, oh! Oh, no! Should we read that? No. Attend? As the glow from the outside of her form, that just radiates with the armor itself, centrally focuses itself into her holy symbol, and is sent down the arm, each piece, the plate-mail, kind of glowing in succession,

like a series of chained lights. As it reaches the fingers touching the bottom of her fingertips to Vex's torso, the air seems to go dark for a moment around her body, before it pulses, and with that, you watches her jaw moves ever so slightly, taking in once more the warm air error of Thorak's lair. No one else die.

Pike wanted to do anything else, bonus action? Um, jeez, I don't. Oh, she should take a potion or something. Yeah, heal herself, please. She's got a greater healing, Pike has a greater healing potion that I know of, so she can take it. Okay. So that is a 4D4 plus four.

This sucks. I'm almost of the opinion that she shouldn't take it just because, well, no, she should clean her up. She's got 15.8. Well, I mean, but anything hits her, like half the things that hit her are going to even kill that, and that's a revive from death. That's true. Yeah, but it's on her, right? Yeah, I'll see what you mean, though.

She waits. They're in control. Yeah, you do it, you do it. You do it. I'm over, I'm over-thinking this. Yeah, we're talking about getting people back up at this point, not healing, because any hit is lethal. So getting someone on the feet. I got some potions because I never use them, but. You guys have been hoarding potions for a while.

You've been burning through all of them for these two encounters. Yeah, I've got all the ones I've never used. Who's on the ground by grove? You? No, I know I am. Sam. It's Scanlan. Scanlan's on the ground still. Someone up besides me. Well, I want, it's an action if she gives it to anybody else. She can't. She can only take it as a bonus action for herself.

Correct. Oh, that's really good, though. He hasn't said the phrase. She has 19. Okay. She has 19. All right. At the end of Pike's turn,

you may not look rough. Bosa, Germant's order is going to use two legendary actions to attempt a wing attack. Oh, thank God. Come on, come on. She's now, like, just assailing Raishan with their wings. So, Reishan has to make a dexterity saving throw. That is cock. Let me try again.

No, that is a failure. Rishon's going to use last legendary resistance to resist that. So instead takes no longer any legendary resistance. That's explicitly. She's burned through all of her legendary resistance. Yeah, 14. That's seven. Seven points of bludgeoning damage and is not knocked prone. That would have messed her up.

Okay. Is not not prone? No, she is not. She saved. All right, that brings us to Scanlan. It's a death saving throw off Scanlan. All righty. That brings us to the top of the round. Percy, you are in the back, up a wall. I'm taking...

The curse of the unscathed. You know, I was going to take shots of the eggs, but I give up. I'm taking just shots of Rishan. Okay. Go for it. Come on. Don't be stupid. That's stupid.

Pretty stupid. Oh, my God. We're all going to. I'm not going to say it. We're going to get through this, you guys. We're all going to get through this. I got to get through this. I got to get through this.

I got to get. Yeah. So I've got, that's a, that's a, that's a gun jam. Fuck. Really? Yeah. Fuck. Oh my God. That's a bad gun jam.

They're both bad gun jam. All right, I've got one weapon left that can just barely make it, so I'm just screaming to the world. Here we go. So you're pulling out. Retort is out, and that's a 23. That hits. Two more attacks on that? Only one more because I took an attack with bad news.

Well, Bad News takes an attack to reload. But no, the first shot went. Right, but usually it's action. Yeah, so I have two more. I have two attacks with retort. Yeah, okay. So that's, that hits, and then. That's, oh, that's nice.

14 points of damage. Okay. Oh, that was so mean. It was almost a natural 20. 24. That hits. Oh, 16 points of damage. Nice.

some concentration checks on that. Nice. 32. Yep. And yeah. And I'm going to reload. And I'm going to start running across the wall away from the fray. Around this way. So you'd get about there. That far. Getting out of the way. Okay. Is now back to a layer action. Great. Fuck.

The ground in the center here. Quakes and cracks open as a familiar burst of magma. God damn. Everyone in this vicinity. I got to go. I need Vex. Vax your. Well, Mike, I've got to go.

I've got one success. Right. But you're still in conscience, right? All right, so you just take, you just lose a death saving throw. As the magma bursts and sprays around. So you take along. I need you to make a dexterity save. I need Scanlan. I lose another. You lose another. You've got one left. I need

Pike to make a dexterity saving throw. You too, right? And you two, Grog. He's got high decks, right? Right? Well, this, you know what? Gomer does not make it. That's not bad. I'm rolling shit for damage, that's good. Ow. How lucky. What you roll, lores? I rolled an eight for pack. Okay. And a one for me. Okay. Ten points of fire damage to each of you have, so you both take five.

Okay, I'm unconscious. Okay. This is so fun, you guys. I love this fight. Oh, what's going? I love that. Pikes at 29. I did, it rolled a 19.

19, okay, you succeed, so you take half damage. So you take five, but you're resistant from the potion, so half that, so two, two points of fire damage. Okay. All rightyty. It is now Reishon's turn. It's so not good. I'm gonna go flip the table over.

Hasted. Rishan, by the way, from the attack from Percy, the damage you can see Rishan is now visibly bleeding. Parts of the scales are torn. You can see now at a close-up vantage point, as much as the previous dragons you've battled have had a lot of resilience, Rishon's taken a fair amount of damage,

but seems to not be quite as physically hardy as what you've previously faced and is looking visibly hurt. visibly hurt. Reishan is going to begin the round, turning to the rest of you. I have business elsewhere, and you're being really obnoxious. Stay down. And glancing over is going to go ahead and, with both of her hands again, release another, she is almost out of spells, cone of cold. God, fucking damage. Oh, no, this is gonna be Scanlan.

That is, I need... So, Scanlan... No. God. Scalin is frozen, covered in ice, locked in place. A solid gnome, be rift of life, motionless on the ground. I died as I lived. Hard.

Oh, fuck. I heard him say that. Gilmore loses a death saving throw. Vax, you take another point of damage. You're two failed death saving throws. Pike needs to make the Constitution saving throw. Grog, Constitution saving throw. Was I in there?

You were. So you also. 24. 24, you succeed. Plus 10, Constitution. That's good. 11 for Pike. for Pike. Okay, that's 30 points of cold damage to Pike.

Seriously? Yeah. She's unconscious. Yep. Pike is unconscious. That's where we're at. We're, I don't know how we're gonna get scamming back. I have no, there's, there's, there's, that'll be a later question. That may happen. So Pike is down. You have a plan. I have a plan.

I have that. It involves me having hump a lot of angels in heaven. Okay. Watching this carnage, you watch, as the spell finalizes the blast of cold arcane energy, just careening forth and then fading the ground itself, which is now normally glowing orange, is now covered with a very thin sheet of ice, and you watch a steam rise up from the contrasting heat and cold from the spell effect in the surrounding atmosphere, as the mist kind of dissipates, you see a big, toothy grin curl across Reishan's face, a little bit of dragon

blood kind of curling past her teeth from the wounds that she suffered, glaring nervously over at Jamon Saourd, who has taken nearly no damage at this point and is currently up in Reishan's face. Reishan was, well, I'm afraid I have to get to the rhythm. And just tears off of Jamon and goes into a full, hasted fly away. Is Jamon... Get an attack of opportunity, Jamon. Jamon does. Jamon is going to make a bite attack against Reishon the natural 20. Oh!

Are you serious? Does that grapple? Does that grapple? Does that grapple? Oh. But that is... She have to do a concentration check, right? She will, yeah.

That is 18 plus 8. That's 26 piercing damage plus she doesn't... she's a meat of poison. She takes no poison damage. That's 28 points of piercing damage to her. Concentration check. No, she's fine. It's 10 plus 14, so yeah, she's fine. So the haste is not to bellow.

However, Jermon bites out and takes a huge chunk of flesh as the teeth just scrape across the back of Ryshan's wing and shoulder blade, but manages to pull away and at a full 160 foot flying speed hasted and just disappears down the hallway. Should have done that. Should have done it. Into the ashes and shadow behind. Keyleth, it's your turn.

Okay, she has 120 foot, or she just went 160 feet? 160 feet, yeah. Is she, but she wasn't, fuck me. Oh my god, okay. Can I still see her through the tunnel? Like? No, she is outside of your dark vision view radius. Did she have there?

And there is no light in the tunnel ahead, and it is a slight incline. You just watch her just know. disappear into the Dart Tunnel. Currently have no beat of sight on her. Smote the tunnel, dude. You get her maybe don't. It's a range thing. Oh, right. I mean, could I try and...

Fuck. This is really bad. Yeah, this is really bad. She's so far away, dude. Yeah, I know, but he's there. She's so much faster than him. She's hasted. Don't worry, I'm gonna take off in a run and... Yeah.

Like, he's... He can only go probably half her speed. Just picture Butterbean running down on the street. Because my question is... Jarrett's still up there. She didn't necessarily... Crossbow loaded. He's just like...

Because could I try and move up and then do a long-range wall of stone spell to try it and, like, collapse the tunnel before she gets out? 120 foot. 120 foot range in the spell from where you are currently, which is over here. She went 160 feet even further away from you than she was,

so she'd be beyond the distance of the spell, unfortunately. Because if you miss, you drop out. Yeah. And then we can't get you. No, I mean, I can't, no. I mean, I could get us out again, but... A bunch of dead people. You can get a bunch of dead people out? I know.

Okay, um, wow. Indiana Jones in the last case. This is really bad. Okay, um, I will use. That wasn't her last bell, by the way. She's got three explosive. Who's unconscious? Yeah, who's really close to who's like one away?

Who's like really bad? Oh. Close to death? Yeah. He's closer to death than me. Um, two failures. Is Pike down? Oh.

Pikes. Pikes unconscious. Oh, she is? I'll get fun. I'm one fail. He's two fails. Scanlan's dead. Who's got healing spells? Wake up whoever can heal. I've got cure wounds if I'm awake. So get her up, yeah. I can heal people if I get up.

Okay, it doesn't matter. Can I kind of jump and make my way over like this kind of, this, can I cross this tinier lava right there? Kind of like, or is that like a pretty far jump? I mean, you have to still. jump, so we have to make an athletics check. How far of a jump is that? It's about six, seven feet. So make an athletics check.

Sure, why not? Why not at this point? No. No. Well, that was a natural one. On what? On what? Just moving.

Just trying to jump across some lava. How many hit points do you have? How many hit points do you have? It doesn't matter. She's not even going to get over to anyone to heal them. Oh, well. I don't know, man. Lava?

Six or six zero? Six zero. But no, she's not necessarily fine. Lava has a new rule now. Well, not a new rule, the actual rule. Yeah, the actual rule that we didn't use the very, very first time. Oh, God. But we felt it last time.

So as you rush over trying to help, you go to leap, but your foot catches what you thought was solid volcanic rock. Unfortunately, it's brittle and broken, and it slips beneath your foot. In doing so, you only get about three feet before you plant. the lower half of your body straight into the lava. Oh my God. That's 53 points of fire damage. 53! You're alive! Get out! Get out! You can get out of it!

You've got seven points left! He died as he lived. A fucking dumb ass! I can't see! She's just a wall of tears! You're gonna go to that great stroke goes on the sky. Can you get out? Can she get out in the lava or is she just in one? Can I get out now and I'm trying to use my movement, or am I going to die as I go? No, essentially, you're essentially prone in the lava.

You rolled the one to jump and you basically went, belly flopped into lava. But doesn't that mean she's going to take damage trying to get out of it? Can I get out? You're technically prone, the rest of your movement will get you up and out, but it'll just get you out of the lava. Oh, at least you're out.

Get out, get out. So you'll get out and you'll be just on the edge there. Oh my God. That's the life. She lived. This is awesome. This is awesome. This is the worst.

This is... Wow. I was like, as long as I don't roll a one, that shouldn't be that hard. Oh, okay. Oh, look, someone left a metaphor on the ground. Don't step in it or anything. Oh, God. It's everywhere.

Well, this could have gone worse. Wow. Yeah. Okay, I'm out of the flame. This whole thing is a metaphor for 2017. Does Jemansa Oort have any healing spells? Well, wait, she's still got... And I reach over as a bonus action.

as a bonus action and do a healing word to Vax. Okay. Just cut it and a half in the level. I don't know. Come on, stay with it, stay in the fight. It's just level one. All right. That's good, that's four, so nine points.

Nine points. He wakes up! Vax is now conscious. No, sorry, 10 points, that's 10 points. There you go. Sweet, even more cost. Two, you're double digits. Scanlan, we've got to just, we've got to get Scanlan back.

Well, we have, yeah, we're gonna, there's a lot of work that needs to happen. I got her, I got, I got, I got, who's up? I'm back, we'll see. Rock is up. I mean, who's next? It's Gilmore. No, it's Gilmore. No, it's Gilmore.

So, Gilmer gets up, kind of looks around. Where did she go? Through the town. Okay. He rushes this way, and as he gets about there, he slams into something that is currently invisible. You see a slight ripple of arcane energy, and you see a series of small glyphs kind of spiral outward, and then it goes see through again. Start slamming his fists on it. No.

Of course. No. Of course. Of course. He goes and... Let's see what he has to look. He doesn't want to cast me through the floor. Wow, this is fascinating.

Yeah. He's a mime. Yeah, no, technically he looks like a mime from your standpoint. Can I turn to Jaman? Say, Jaman, can you sense her presence? She's a fellow dragon. Do you know where she might be going or what she might be doing? I haven't the faintest I have.

She's talking to the red drive. Oh, Bok, Thorac is outside of the cave. Are we out of combat now? Um, the rounds count. Okay. The rounds don't count. So we're going to continue going through the order here. So it's Grog. It's your turn, Grog.

It's your turn. I run to my buddy Pike and I bivong this greater healing person into her gullet. Okay. What is that four? 48 plus four. I mean 44 plus. 14 plus. 12.

12. 12 points. So Pike is away. Ha! Where? What's going? A lot of problems. Have any more of those revivifies?

All right, that's your turn, grove? Actually, she does have a third level spell left. You do. Really? Yes! What? She does have a third level the last time. Do it, do it, do it, do it.

What's up? The eggs that remain are toast? Uh, there are two of them are completely destroyed, and there is one that has been shot and is leaking. I have it circled! Don't worry about it. Let's get out there. All right, that ends my turn. Okay. That brings us to Vex. I need you to make a death saving throw.

Right. I'm scared of all of these. Actually, can I just use what it was left in my movement to go towards that egg? Towards this egg? Yeah, the one shot egg. Okay. I'm going to try some weird. There's two death saving throws on Vex. Yep. You failed it? Vax.

I failed it. I stumbled over it. to my sister and cast lay on hands and give her five and bring it back. So yeah, because you've been giving it out. I haven't done anything. Or I might have done it once, but I always do very small amounts. I have a total of 15 hit points because I'm at the level-down. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you used it once before.

You used it and throw that spell, because it's worthless to heal. It's just good for bringing out. So I have at least 10 hits points up. Okay. Go for it. Yeah, because the only time you used it before was when you bamped up to my broom after I grabbed the dagger. dagger. You're still prone, by the way. You just basically crawled over and touched her. That's fine. So you still have... Use the rest of my movement is stand. Okay. So you stand up and you still have half your movement if you wanted to. She was... But everyone who's down, who's down? She would have been five... And I don't mean dead.

Pike just got... Pikes up. Pike is conscious, your sister's conscious. Is chema conscious? Yes. So we've got dead scanning. Yeah. And that's and that's... That's Pike's problem. And that said I'm done. Wait, where's that egg? Which one? It doesn't matter. It's the last egg.

I'm done, I'm done. Okay. Um, all righty, that ends. Max's turn. Just worried there's gonna be another layer action in the same spot. Kima rushes up and swing your holy sword in the air. Oh, it goes for a full swing. Uh, noticing that everybody's now conscious, goes and takes a full swing towards this invisible barrier.

As it streaks across, you see a visual Divine energy goes flying off in a shower of sparks and a giant shimmering, kind of shaking visual on this force wall that stands here in the center of the hallway. As she finishes her attack, it shimmers unscathed. She goes for a secondary attack. Strikes again. This time as it strikes across, the sparks are even brighter, and you can see the impact almost pushing her back off of her feet. And as the blade comes to the end of its second arc, she looks up. The wall still stands. You are shooting, right?

Yeah. Doesn't flick or doesn't. It needs like a dispel or something. Oh my God, it could. Oh my God, it could. All right, that's an option. All righty. That brings us to...

Jemann. Jermon. Jermon rushes. I know, I know, dude. Flies up to the edge and kind of takes a moment. A few claws across it, and where the claws streak, you can see the shimmering of this force wall. The phone's out, oh God.

He's calling an Uber because he knows we're going to kill him after this is done. Come on, 4%. 4%. 4%. Get this man on charger. Oh, no, no. Start a YouTube video on it. Can you run this over to man?

Yeah. Germana, with each strike, and it's like testing the boundaries of it across the sides of the tunnel. And just goes, this much. This magic holes. What? Do you need challenges? Can we be chalice? Let me know.

I've got maybe a plan. Yeah, you've got that. That's an option. I've got another plan. You know my plan. My plan kind of sucks, but... I'm getting a charge. Give it to somebody...

Hmm? There's a button. It's all right. No, there's a button. Sorry. Anyway, so... No, no, no, it should just start. No, there is a button.

There's a button. You'll find it. Jermon. Oh, Jermon, is the breath weapon back. and kind of pushes both Kima and Gilmore's side. Excuse me. And unleashes a blast of burning hot breath across this wall as it hits, it curls across

and spreads across the side of the walls as the dragon shields both Kima and Gilmore from the blast as it finishes. The flame has been split the entirety has no effect on the wall. Holy shit. I wonder, I wonder if the, like, the beehive being above us if the holes are covered in magic as well.

Am I, I am conscious, I can sit there. Kill, kill, I say, well, maybe killing the eggs. I don't know, kill the eggs. Pike. Or maybe it's like a Pacific rib and take the eggs through the, I can give it to you. But it's now. My question is, if.

I can give it to you now. Pike runs up, thank you. Oh, oh, if she runs up, is she gonna be able to get her hand on Scanlan? Well, she was, she was prone, right? She just came back to consciousness. So she gets up for half her movement. We got a minute.

We got a minute. I would have picked her up after the last time. I was being pissed about, I mean like, you know, she's so tiny. Being a gnome, it's one of those things where 25 feet halved, and you always round on the lower end of the scale, but at 10 feet, she's not close enough to touch Scanlon. Yet.

Even with the Sprinter's boots? Spinter's boots already got used last time. It's a one-round used. She says she can use the sprinter's boots twice in all caps. All right, then. The caps are what make it worthwhile. She's on a 32nd device, so she wrote that before you said it. Actually, she did write that before you said it.

Good, all right then. Then that will be just enough to put her up next to Scanlon. Okay, so Pike puts her hands on either side of his face and says, Scanlan, your letter to me was wonderful, and I want to do what you've asked, but I can't raise Haley alone. I need you to come back. And she casts revivify on him. Okay. Go ahead and roll a d20. 13? 13? Okay.

As she implores the spirit of Scalin in this frozen form, you watch as the icy crystals that have coalesced around his form and locked him in place. His face kind of, this frozen look for the ice begins to turn to mist around him, and this his color begins to return to his skin. His expression relaxes as his eyes suddenly focus. And Scanlan, you find yourself conscious again, looking up at Pike, tears in her eyes, pulling her hand back from your shoulder, looking up into the dark, you know, glowing, lit interior Thorax layer.

Don't cry. I'm just a little cold. Just hold me. She sent a picture. She sent a picture of the Sprinter's Boots cards with two uses. You're twice long rest is required easier. There we go. All right, cool, that's what I wanted.

Thank you. Okay. You'll make sure everyone has their equipment cards on them, so that's good. All right, so that finishes Pike's turn. Scanlan, you're conscious now. Hi. Welcome back. We're still fucked, by the way.

What's going on? They sealed us in here with a giant magic screen across his door. Dragon's breath does nothing. Kima does nothing. You know anything about this? Any limericks for magic cave doors? Gerd your back, Scanlan.

Thanks. Thanks. I've got one thing up my sleeve. It's a dog that can run around and help us. That's about it. Are we gonna have to take a short rest? No. I don't know. There's magic there?

There's magic there? I can't do anything about that. Can I? I know. Can I broom up to the holes? Oh, God, I'm so scared to get on this broom again. Well, it's not, we're still in, we're still in our order. You can release the dog and have him.

Sorry. Are we talking to you freely? Can I still have a ranching? Yes, I mean, we do have a mansion. Well, right now, as we come back to this, Percy, what are you doing? I have a crazy plan. Did you let the dog out? No, I don't know what.

Who let the dog out? Who? Did you have it? Who? Keel, do you have a crazy plan? Do you have, you only have to cast the mansion door? within line of sight, correct? Yes.

Okay. I don't know that that's true, actually. 300 feet. 300 feet, range. Do you have it left? I do. Yeah. Okay, two things. One, before we start burning our seventh level spells.

I still have stone shape. Can Keylet go up to the wall and do I have enough... Is there just enough room in the corridor walls that I could stone shape... Wait. I can... I didn't... I mentioned door out of here.

Wait, would you just... You get a tunnel for all of us, maybe. Can I stone shape a tunnel kind of around the thing? First. First thing first. Morgan Kind's Middivant Mansion is a one-minute casting time. Okay. That's right.

There you go. Okay. You could do it, but in the process of doing so, you'd probably go through about ten different layer actions in here. Yeah, there's that. So, Keelot, you're using... You said stone? Can I stone shape a little passage?

around do I have just enough kind of to where I can where the barrier is I can kind of carve a little corridor around it would be very tiny and you'd have to crawl through to to create enough because you're not quite sure how thick the barrier is so you have to be I have to roll an investigation check and based on your role I'll let you know okay this is a plan eight eight you're not sure you can give it a shot I might as well give it a shot if it gets to you it does come back to a layer action wait on my turn I drank a potion okay so take your heel on there that's it did did is my turn not come up yet I hate that we can't get out of this fucking well I'm sorry asked you what you were doing oh I'm I want to try something stupid what do you want to try I want to try and run headlong at the barrier okay well you have to six don't get too

close to this area as you can get this around. This is where the fucking layer action keeps coming. I want to stay on the wall. Stay on the wall? Okay, they'd be roughly there. So even a full turn, that's as far as you could get on a double room. Yeah, and I'm up on the wall still.

Just rolling around. Cool. All right. Now this happens. With this, the quickiness of the layer seems to be subsiding a little bit. There is a tremor on the ground. It only affects those directly around the barriers. around the barrier, so that's my people. Everyone succeeds, and no one falls prone.

So no effect on that layer action per se. All right. Past that, you can see in the distance, past the wall, darken the tunnel, which is almost pitch black beyond the radius. You see this slight purplish glow and then a flash of purple energy. God fucking shoddak. Should I go? What are you going to do? Do something? You're going to be all by yourself. Okay, I'm in a sun shape and try and just like, cast a little, even if it's a corridory, just right around.

It's a terrible idea. It's a touch spell, so you have to get up to it. So you're here back there. Yeah. So you just get up to the edge of the doorway and the wall with a double run. Okay. Okay.

I'm gonna go ahead, can I use a bonus action? Yeah. I'm gonna use my lap. No, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna take, I'm gonna just drink a healing potion real quick. Just one of my graders. craters. Okay, go for it.

So it is 44 plus four. All right. Gilmore. Book has seen better days. Gilmore doesn't really have anything that can be of aid right now. Six, seven. I got a weird thought. Gilmore moves over towards you preparing for what you're up to and just kind of puts this hand on your shoulder keel.

It goes, whatever you're doing, I'm right behind you. Don't worry. Um, hold you up to your own fault. Grog, you're up. Sorry. I'm confident right now. You look like you're up to something. Do you have a plan?

I'm trying to stone shape a corridor through this, but I don't know if it's going to be enough to get through the thickness. As a backup plan. I might need your help. How big is Jemann Sa'Oad? Like a big dragon or just like eh? About the same size as Reishon.

So we couldn't like all Falcourt on Jemone up to the spider network of tunnels at the ceiling, right? Like we could ride him. No, Rishon. I don't know. Jemone have a very similar physicality, like their bodies can, much like a cat can, like, get really thin, just enough to fit through the tunnels maybe, but not within your writers. You guys would be probably squeezed

off or crushed in the process. Could she get us up there and then follow us up through the tunnels? We don't know where they go. It's better than this place. They're exhaust on. That's fair, although I will say before we leave, we should probably make sure all those eggs are down before we leave anyway. That's my idea, and then I'm gonna end my turn. You just stand there?

Run and hit an egg. Oh, yeah. Yeah, hit an egg. Shimon. Yeah, I'll just run towards egg. That right there? Oh! I'm going to use all three of my attacks on that egg.

Go for it. Fuck that egg on. Go for it. Egg didn't know what's coming. That's a 33. That'll hit. Oh, minus five. Okay.

That's a 31. No. 39. Okay, so the first strike just cleaves through the egg in touch. entirely. You impact at the point of the bullet wound that person left earlier, which you kind of let that spider web crack in the front, and that just causes the entire thing to buckle under the sheer force of your axes as it swings. The egg gets cut in half, tumbles over,

the splattering of primordial dragon whelp gore, and you can see the remnants inside of what is now a two-parter, primordial dragon whelp. Did it look like... Did any dragon parts spill out of the egg? Yeah, as it flew off and kind of split-in. Could I grab a piece of it, take a step back, and try and throw it towards the wall to see if it bounces off as well? Just in case it's like a barcode.

Sure. Hey, we've gone through! They got the key card. Sure. Yeah. Multipath. As you pull it up, and this creature is, I'm nearly identical to the one that you pulled out earlier.

It is still deep red crimson, but like fully, fully primordial and its visual. You take back the chunk of it and you throw it at the wall and it just passes through. What just happened? Shut! What did he just do? You solved it. You unlocked it.

How? What did he do? destroying the last egg. Fucking guy. Or by, or it's like you said, we cover ourselves in dragon goo and then we can walk through. One of the two. residual goo in my hand. I just like rub it all of them.

It smells terrible. You can hop in the edge. It's basically a hot tub. We didn't destroy all the eggs, right? Currently, you destroyed three of them and two were lighten, baked, and taken them off by Raichon. My voice is my passport. Verify.

It's hard to say. I love that, right. Maybe we should hold onto a piece and try to pass through it. Hello. That's right. Well, that's Fing strong turns. That's me. I used a level, did I use a level four spell already?

Shit. I'm pretty sure you guys went guns blazing. Somewhere in the world, there's a whole chat room of people. That's okay. I'm going to use, oh, that's right. I did use it because I was here. Yeah, I was going to say somewhere. So I have a level three left.

Who needs healing? Me and Pike and everybody. There's always everybody needs healing. Me. You do. I got single didge going on. So do I. I've got five.

Single ditch. I got five points. How many you got? I got. Welcome to Mick Unplugged. The number one podcast for some. self-improvement and modern leadership. I'm Mick Hunt, your host, and I'm here to challenge your why and fuel your because.

Eight or nine, I can't remember my bad. It's pretty bad.

Wait, if I had one plus eight, it would be nine. So you have nine points? Nine points. I'm going to take a healing potion. I mean, I'm going to cast cure wounds on myself. Okay. At third level. Yeah.

3D8 plus whatever your mudfires. Go for it. It's all good. Kind of. No, it's not. I know, but like, you know, it's looking better. Well, we're not all dead.

We just can't die anymore. And worst case scenario, we're stuck in here for another round. So 20 points. 20 points, okay. Okay. And you didn't even burn his belly yet. Yes. Which is really cool.

Can I run over and get some dragon guts on my hand and then try to put my hand through the thingy? With your speed and getting up, because you were prone, you could get that close right there. You can't quite get the dragon guts as far as you can. It may just be that it's down now, but it may be the dragon guts. All right, so then Invex is turned back. What'd you do?

I'm just gonna move towards the gate, my hand out, and see if I can go through if I get stopped. You walk right through. Just pass through. All right. It is the eggs. It was the eggs.

All right. Everybody. Quietly. Right. Hang on. Hang on. I'm feeling very guilty because it was my rage and anger

and one for vengeance, which made me run in here blindly towards her. Guilt later. Maybe we shouldn't do it again, is all I'm saying. No, too late. Gotta finish this off. Okay. Does your guilt have a mass cure wounds in that case?

Doesn't matter. Forward. Now. And all of you start just... Avengers run down the hall. ...taring through, like curling over all of you. Adventures just clobbering time. I grab chemo and I say, get ready to hit a dragon,

and I'm going to dimension door me and chemo. To the Thorac's body. Okay. Yeah. Oh, geez. Wait, what? As soon as you grab the shoulder and you both suddenly vanish and reappear at Thorac's body.

You both land with a flash of arcane light. As your feet hit the ground, it is an empty tunnel. Is there no Thorakon? There is no Thorak corpse. Fuck. No Thorak's corpse? Correct. Fuck!

She just wanted to talk to him. She may have taken him somewhere. I've talked to him, my ass. You don't want to talk to him. Or she raised him? Jesus. One last roll in the hay. As you guys approach, Gilmore kind of steps up and goes,

I think I have a pretty good idea what that flash we saw it was. What? Teleport. Getting the hell out of here. Son of a bitch. Vex. This hair's going to tussle. Can you sense dragons anywhere nearby?

Other than... Can I sense anyone but Jamon's sword as far as dragons go nearby? I drop down to my knees and concentrate. Nothing. Nothing. She's nowhere. And that's we'll end tonight's episode. We have a flight early in the morning. I can't believe that we all came back. I can't believe we all lived.

I can't believe you all lived. That should not have happened. That was brought really scary. It was just giant cluster fuck from like halfway through. Just everybody falling down and trying to get back up. Well, if you had fallen into the lava, by the way, If you had rolled poorly, you would have been submerged in lava, which was... Unconscious.

Well, that's 18D10 points of damage. Yeah, I'd have been... 18D. If that had exceeded your max hit points, you would have been instantly dead and turned to ash. It would have been nice if I cut out of tongue. So gone, gone, gone, gone. There were a few close calls there. I think a few is like three.

I think they were like nine. Yeah. And then if you hadn't counterspelled the color... That was... Oh, yeah. Yeah, the prismatic spray. That would have been real bad. Who was he shooting again?

It's a spray. It's a cone. That big. It would have been almost everybody. Just so you guys know, because it's a fun spell to kind of talk about. It is. And each you would have been hit with a different colored ray.

I would roll the D8 to see what color it hit you. On a one, you take 10 D6 fire damage on a failed save half. An orange, take 10 D6 acid damage. for half. It's a bit holder. 10D6 lightning damage. Basically. So I just randomly, all of you guys basically just take 10d6 of something. Green, you take 10D6 points of poison damage. Half save,

5, 10D6 cold damage. Six. On a failed save, you're restrained, and you keep making saves or you turn to stone. On seven, you're blinded, and you have to keep saving, or you, the successful save ends it. If you fail the next save, you get transported to another plane. flame. What? Oh my God.

There's one where you get to do two things, right? Like Beetlejuice. On an eight, I roll again for two raids against that person. Oh my god. For two-ridden. Like 20, 20 D6. It's a fun one. I like that spell. What is it?

What is it 10? Is 10 insta death? What is 10? It's a 1D8. It would be. It would be. It's not rolled a 10 and a D8. Sure.

Wow, you're so done. The other plane of dimension is like literally the beetle just like send you to the sandworms. You're just, oops. And that's, you're out of the fight until they can go find you if anyone's left. After everyone else has taken 10d, suck. So guys, we'll pick this up again next week on Thursday. Find out where Rishan is.

Maybe. With two eggs in the corpse of Fodak, the Cinder King. Well, hopefully, oh my God. That's red eggs and ham. Yeah, she just escaped the two iPhone 7. You start with disadvantage. I just want the internet to do a Dr. Seuss red eggs and I just want her like with a little red steak and two little red. Yeah, you did good. That's all I want. All right guys. Well, those we'll see at MagFest this weekend. We'll see you there

Oh, let's remember bring your magazines and have Matt and Marisha sign any magazines. Highlights. Yeah, all magazines. I mean, you're going to say you don't know, but if Jamon had not nerfed those three attacks that were. round might she have gone down? Oh yeah if Jamon had not gotten three to one three two and a one that sucked yeah so that really I was about to lay some serious damage to her and she ran away yeah he's got a bus so seventh level blight and then she ran I wasn't getting because that that the fire breath is nasty yeah he didn't fucking recharge it no it was your highness was I got to attack one time that round every other round should have

stretched he should have stretched he should have Just stretched before the fight. You gotta, yeah. But anyway. Happy New Year. Happy Year. Well then, guys, you survived. Yeah.
