Hello everyone, and welcome to tonight's episode of Critical Role,

where a bunch of us nerdy-ass voice actors sit around and play Dungeons and Dragons. Dengs and Dragons! Why is that more laughing? So yes, we're gonna hop in here, but before we do, we have some quick announcements to get through. First and foremost, we have a survey that we put up a couple weeks ago. It ends April 18th. If you haven't had an opportunity, please go ahead and put in your information. Let us know where you're from, how much of the show you're from, how much of the show you're

So you can check that out at piquinsundry.com slash CR Survey. You'll probably see the link in the chat as well, but please do that. If you haven't yet, that would be awesome. Yeah, Playboy 18th. As far as merch goes, we're still out of stock on dice, I believe. No, no, no. No. There's officially 30 sets left, according to... 30 sets. Sorry, they're gone.

I've heard there are 30 sets left in the store, we will be ordering more. So there will be more, but I don't know when that's going to come in, so 30 sets for the time being. Fantastic, thank you, Lou. The things are rubles. Yes. Telson, Wednesday Club coming up, right?

There is a Wednesday Club. We're doing Comics 101. It's going to be our intro to how to read comics. The notion is the show that you would show your grandmother or your friend who's just never apparently seen. a written word next to a picture before. They do exist. I'm sadly not gonna be there,

but Amy and Matt are gonna throw together something really, really awesome, and I'm gonna be helping out from the sidelines throwing them stuff because I'm gonna be out of town. But yay, awesome. Speaking of Talston and a different mat, we're both gonna be on Eric's TBDRPG tomorrow at noon, Pacific time.

The dice are gone. The dice are gone. There you go. Did you go? Just now. Well done. Jesus. Good job, guys.

They got it. We'll have more soon. But yeah, we'll both be on Eric's TBD RPG tomorrow at noon here, Geek and Sundry, a specific time for the Doctor Who RPG. I'll be returning as my character, Meat Stick. Meat Stick, yeah. He's a heavily experimented on Ood, who is massively buff and looks kind of like nemesis from Resident Evil 3. But with more of a tentacle mouth.

So it'll be fun. Yes, I'll be doing my old band voice. It's very fun. Oh, there is. And I believe Darren DePaul's going to be joining us. I think he's a maybe. Maybe? He's supposed to be.

I think it might be a little late. I'll check in. Hopefully. It might be. Could be. Pretty sure. Mystery, about. Tune in, find it.

Risha, new signal boost, went up this week. Yes, it's me. Hey. Full circle. Again, I'm back. Go watch. Actually, we're going to be playing it over the course of the break so that we have a break.

So you'll watch it over the course of the break. It's only getting weirder, folks. It's going to be really weird. You can tell it's such an outlet for us in the creative team. It's like, it's got a lot of meta things going on on reflecting our day-to-day lives. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It's always has been. It's great. I will be at Sakara Khan, by the way, next weekend, April 14th to the 16th, up in Seattle. We're doing some panels, signings, and fun stuff. So if you guys are up in Seattle area next weekend, come say hi.

That would be fun. Sorry, pardon my belch. Snick up on me. And once again, Wolfordell is going to be at the Wales ComaCon, April 8th and 9th. So like, real soon. So if you're near Wales, go say hi to Will. Give him a bunch of really large presence that he can't possibly be back in the plane and will become his problem. So that's my recommendation. Fuck that guy, exactly. And a reminder, me, Talison and Marisha will be guests at Momokan, May 25th, the 28th in Atlanta, Georgia. So if you're in that area, other side of the country, come see a high then, because that'd be fun. Yeah. And Talksmokina, of course, every Tuesday at 7 p.m. Pacific here on Twitch and Alpha, where we talk about next week we'll be talking about this episode.

Yeah. And episode before that, actually, a little bit too. I hope everyone liked the panel, by the way. Yay! We had a great turnout at WonderCon. Yeah, thanks everybody who came. It was super cool. We kind of filled the arena, which was, I had this big fear we were going to get up on stage and there'd be like seven people in the front row and this empty space. Apparently, 2,800. Oh, wow.

Two 800 strong. Jesus. Wow. Critters. Yeah, so many quiddles. So thanks for coming, guys. Free costumes, la recasties. So many costumes. Also said the WonderCon panel will be on G&S's YouTube Friday at 8 p.m. Hey.

Yeah. Great. So you can check it out then. Yeah. And I believe, let's have mistaken, that's, yeah, anything else anyone wants to talk about? No anything you want to talk about? I had a great day today. Awesome. It was really fun. I had a good lunch. I'm so glad what you have? Falafel.

That's a good choice. Hey, look, this is a book that she made, and it is. It's so good. She signed it for me and I'm reading it to my kids and they love it. There's a bear in it. There is a bear in it. There's more than that in it too.

Let me tell you. Just getting started. It's great. Lots of different animals. Which, by the way, thank you again, Noelle for coming and playing this again this week. Yeah, hey, is anyone like tied to a table and needs help right now?

Because apparently I'm available now, so I'm here to help. And on that note, let's go ahead and diving to tonight's episode of Criticero. And welcome back. Just so you guys know, we know there is a bit of, I guess, apparently an audio sync issue that's happening right now. It's apparently not on our end. Our systems are sinking just fine. It might be a Twitch side thing. Hopefully, they're working on it right now and seeing if we can figure out how to get that fixed. In the meantime, my apologies, it will continue playing, and at the very least, the upload will be synced.

So keep in here out. Thank you for your patience. Technical. All righty, so catching us up from last week, Vox Machina goes to helm. In tying up loose ends and dealing with lingering business, you've decided to travel to the nine hells of Poutur, specifically the second layer of Dis,

toward the Iron City of Dis under the rule of Dispader, to seek out the place where HOTUS, the Rakhshasa, which is now in a chain of perpetually hunting members of your team. You decided it was best to end it there as the only way to kill the entity is to destroy it on its own home plane. So you gathered yourselves, you transported via Kielaith onto the second layer of hell, you wandered incognito as various demonic adjacent entities. You've avoided a modicum of interest or... other issues. You've made friends and signed a contract for aid with a Cambian owner of what's some sort of a tavern in the vicinity.

You met with a silly shop owner. You ate soul crystals, little soul stones, and you've agreed to, for safe passage into the subterranean prison of Mentiri, which apparently houses HOTUS as you. reforming, you've come to discover, you will go and assassinate a pit fiend named Utugash, who is the superior of the individual you signed the contract with. And upon his destruction, and without leaking any information that could tie this individual to the assassination, be granted passage safely and unspoiled into the prison to seek out your quarry, slay it, and return home safely. As you snuck into the home of this pit fiend, you quickly discovered a dwarvish female had endured quite some torture and was found chained to a table. You released her, and she introduced herself as Tova.

I don't believe you introduced yourself. You didn't give a name, did you? I'm sure it was somewhere. I know she said her name. I think you did. You did. Okay, good. Very little else, though. You were just, you were not having anyone shit. I loaded down there, no, that means it happened. There you go. That was awesome. I also wrote down, chain devils no. I don't know what that note meant. I guess. What did you know? You were tripping in that session?

Well, because the chain devils potentially knew. About the Bastion of Flesh, is that what it was? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There you come. It was just chain devils, no, period. Yeah, very, very green. Crossed Chained devils, period.

No, no, period. Just don't. That too. None of those, please. However, your new Dwarvenor friend transformed into some sort of a lichanthrope wear bear. Taking a great sword from Grog's stash in the bag of holding, you gave Dave Chase over one of the guardians and keepers of the stronghold, killed it, and in doing so alerted other members of the stronghold, killed them, and in doing so alerted other

members of the stronghold, and Groh, creeping forward down this hallway, revealed a central chamber where betwixt two pools of what appeared to be molten, glowing blood, and sitting upon a throne, the corpulent, grotesque, sweaty, slick, pit fiend named Uttugach sits there, the terrible toothy grin, who speaks telepathically into your mind. So what do you bring to me to pleasure? And I need you all through initiative. Oh, God. That quickly, huh? Telepathically? Yeah, just like the last one spoke to you.

Are people just too lazy to use their mouths? I mean... Mouth are for eating, not for talking. It's like texting in hell. Kind of yeah. Oh, m.G. All righty. All righty folks. So, given that point, 25 to 20. 24.

24. Whatever. 20 to 15. Okay. Who has what? 19. 19. 15.

15. Same zies. Oh. Twins. We're going in together. Yeah. and... We belong together.

Oh, nice. That's all I can. You guys were all up for us. I think I'm gonna check. Would you roll? I'm gonna take my first round to check this. We're all between 15 and 24. Yeah, it did pretty binging.

All right, so as the pit fiend still just standing there, its arm hanging over the edge of this giant axe that it's using, propping it as it stares at Grog. It seems to be just complete, completely lazy, confident, and doesn't feel threatened whatsoever by the presence of this Goliath that stepped into its visual range. However, top of the round, Vax and Vex. What do you guys want to do? Take it. There you go. Okay.

So you guys are right there. Clicking the boots of haste. I'm going to now, I know that there's a clot of people that I have a lot of movement out, so I'm going to slide back towards Grog. No. Over here? There. No, towards Tover. That's a big bear. The other entrance. No, damn it, I can't tell. Towards the other entrance. Over here.

There's no other entrance. I can't see it. Yeah, the only entrance you know of is this one right there. We really should have gone up and looked at it up close before. That's okay, now you know. Okay, then I'm going to slide along the wall up to where Grog is. Okay, move along on this side of him?

Yeah. Am I within range of oily, oily guy? What's the distance though, 10 feet? Distance between you and Utugash? would be 25 feet. 25 feet. All right. Kill him! Kill him!

Ha ha ha ha ha. One shot. A little test run, let's dagger, daga, daga. Okay. Because I don't know if he's really there or not. First one is 33. That hits? Yeah, oh, good.

So that's four plus eight plus eight. Can I, ooh? Nine. Can you, oh. I was just thinking, because it's at the same time, technically our moves. Yeah. Could I send Trinket in? Is it into the room?

Yeah. Or just into the hallway? Well, that way Trinket's next to him so that my brother gets better, doesn't he get better? Trinket from here would be 5.10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40. Trinket has speedy 40, right? I think that's right. I think so, yeah.

Yeah. Could he get there? Trinket could get there. Oh, God, he's like, oh God, that is so scary. I don't know, Nell, that I'm saying it. If that's the way to go. Go with your instincts. Here's my question.

We have a backup there. What's your question? Well, he's figuring out his shit. He's... If Trinket falls. Falls, and I don't see him, does he still come into Raven Slumber if it's in 100 feet? Or do I have to have visual? You don't know?

Matthew Mercer! You know, there is really only one way to find out. I feel like this is perfect. So with the first blade? No, as long as the enchantments in the radius, it's fine. Oh, how much, the dangles, the marionettes in front of us. All right, and he's going to do that so that you have a better attack on it. While I'm going first, so I got the goods already.

Motherfuck, whatever. So you rush in because of hope, you get there. It's a good thought. First blade goes and I'm going to smite him. Are you waiting for Trinquet to get there before you throw it? You can. No, I'm not, I'm in a wint already. All right, so, all right, go through your attacks.

But you could. You could have your advantage. Well, you already has it. I have it because I'm going before. Oh. Gosh. So because I'm smiting him first hits for 55 total. 55 points of damage.

That's the first, that's the first, The second is a 20 to hit, and the third is 27 to hit. All three hit. All three hit. Okay, so the next one. What could possibly go wrong? Just keep saying that. So he has to save against DC 15 for poison on the second attack?

No, it doesn't. He's a mutin-based. Yeah, I figured. It was let me try. And the next gets nine. Nine plus psychic damage. Emmett 12, so a total of 14, just for those two attacks. Okay. And then I will use some more movement to move past Grog,

still in the hole, pressed against the outside of the door. This way? Out of his sight, yes. Okay, so you're now kind of hiding against the side of the wall there. As Trinket runs in, Bof, into the center of the area, as Trinket rushes in and rushes up to the side of the pit, What are you doing?

I'm going to back up next to Tova. Oh wait, who's the big guy? What's that big thing? Right there? That's Doody. Okay, I'm going to get closer to Dody and I'm going to hold my attack until I have visual. Nice. Okay.

And then I guess I'm going to have a... I'm going to have Trinket attack him, since I don't have visual on him, right now, as my bonus. Move. Okay. So he's just going to get one attack. All right. Let me check one thing all fast on Beastmaster. Uh, you have to, well, you are technically taking the attack action yourself on a lot. Well, no, you said I get, I can either, I can get my attacks and then have Trinus, Trinit, Trinket be my bonus.

because he can do one attack as my bonus action. That's true. Single attack on bonus. Yeah. No, I'll all right. For Beas Steel Fury, you say. Yeah. How it usually works is you do, your action is the attack,

and then as a bonus action you can give it. It's like you're both attacking at the same time. You're holding your action, but it is still on attack action, so I'll allow it. Go ahead and use it. It's fine. All right. He's gonna just be in there roaring.

Good. Get him, Trank. He's gonna roll a 21? 21? 21 hits. Yay! Okay.

Oh, boy. 21? Whoa! 20 hit. That's a 15. Awesome. Are Trigot's attacks magical? Well, he's a really magically charismatic masseuse.

Oh, no. Okay, so Trigot gets an attack, scrapes the claw gets as it runs into the room. The claw strikes, slashes across the front of the belly of the giant, Red, pit fiend. It doesn't do as much damage as you hoped it would. Does it do any damage? It does some damage, but not as much as you hope. Okay. Interesting.

All righty. That ends your turn. You're holding your action until you have visual on the pit fiend. Terriam, what are you doing? It's rather stuffy in here, so we should open a window. I'll run up to right in front of Vex. Smooth. And slap a window on the wall. Okay. Did you run out of doors?

I've run out of doors. I came with one. But I have two windows. So for the purposes of this, this is now a window here. I've got a shade. It doesn't have like, you know, nice Roman style shade and then, you know, little baskets. Yeah, no, it's beautifully carved.

Yeah, it was like some Italian architect designed this beautiful. It's a casement. window, so I have to go. Perfect. So Tatarion, use your action to rush forward, you rip off the patch, slam the patch on the side, and you watch as the stone, so they just crumbles to dust in that space. A window is now open on the side of that wall. As soon as that happens. I attack. Vax, go make your attack. Two against the pit fiend. Two against I want to do a bramble shot as my first attack.

Go for it. Okay. I don't really do. Ooh. Ooh, 30. 30 hits. All right. Okay, so I get sneak attack because Dr. Reg is next to him? Yep. Okay.

4D8, 10 is 17. 17 just for that brambleness, and then he has to roll a strength saving throw of DC 17. That's cocked. Yeah, rolled 20. Okay. 15, 16, 17, 17. 17 plus 3 is 20, three lightning damage of that,

and the sneak attack is another six. Nice, all righty. So that's the first attack. Go for it, second attack? Second attack. What was that? 21. 21 hits. All right.

Ah! What's five plus eight? Is that 13? Yep. Yes. Excuse me. I'm up there. notoriously bad at that. Money bags, what the hell?

15 with two lightning damage, 16, 17. Alrighty. So both arrows, fire off. He watches the one slams into the side of Udugash, and the vines wrap around, Udugash, just with one arm up, just tears him off of his body, picks up the axe and heapsed it over the shoulder,

looking back at where the window now exists, where once there was none, looks over and sees you and tear in through the window. Am I allowed to move? back at all or duck under the window? You could attempt to make a hide, but he's looking directly at, but you can't move on the side. Well, I probably can't hide. Isn't that a bonus action?

Yes. Yeah, you can move out of the way. Yeah, you can move out of the way if you want. Okay. Towards Doty. Towards Doty. Towards Doty? Okay, so you're going to move on the other side of Doty,

and that's going to be your movement there. Okay. Okay. Cool. That is going to bring us to Taryn. Did you want to do anything with Doty? Well, he can't fit through a window. Are he?

How big is the window it says? It's two feet by four feet, I believe? He could pull through, but it's gonna take like half his movement to do so. I'll just say, Doty, go back up Grog. Hmm. And Doty just runs this way.

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty, twenty five, thirty-five, Doty gets right there, just crammed through the hallway. Squeezed through. And that's gonna be where Doty stays. All right, that ends your turn. All right. At this point now, Urukash kind of like puts one hand up and kind of like gives some sort of a marker in the air.

You're not quite sure what the meaning is or what it's doing. You're the only one I really sees it, Tarian. Well, I can't see it? You see it too, Grog actually. Oh, totally no. He was, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. I don't have any idea. You don't actually. It's kind of like, it was like.

Oh, semaphore. That's it. All right, Kila. Then Tova and Grog, you're on deck, so. Okay, I'm gonna just kind of scrooge, vex over, be like, sorry, excuse me, I just want to into the window and I want to do. Tyrion is, you move past here. No, sorry, excuse me, Tyrae, Blight. Blight? Blight, okay. Blight.

Blight? Blight? Blight? Blight? B. B's? The range on Blight is 60 feet, right? 30.

Within 30 feet? You're gonna have to get closer. Oh, what? Each one of those squares in the room with him are 10 feet squares, right? Each square is five feet. It's five, ten. The big squares are ten, yeah. The big squares are ten.

It's hard to see the smaller lines. All right. You have to go through the... to go through the window to do it. Come to my window! Come to my window! Come on. Come on.

Yeah, sure, I'll go through the window. Oh, yeah. Step through, you get about there. Nothing. Blight. You have 10 feet more moving left. That'll do it. All right, so.

Can I blight and then back out? Back to the window? You're not going to have enough movement. You'll get up into the window. You won't get all the way through. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. That is a 21. What's your DC?

Fuck, are you serious? 20. Yeah, so it takes half damage. You have roll damage. Wait, you took damage, though. You have half damage. Because he's amused magic or something? Is that what's going on? What's happened? No, you learned as the last battle,

that Pidfiends do most devils have magic resistance. They have advantage on saving throws against spells. You kind of figured this information in your research. D.X. That's right. I'm a manual list. And only magical weapons can damage them, or they have resistance to non-magical weapons. They seem to have resistance from non-magical weapons, from the research you've done, yeah. Based on my lack of trinket attack fullest.

32 total? All right, this is to a six. And yeah, am I able to like barrel roll, like through the window? You get a partway through the window and that's the extent of where you're going to get. Are you serious? You're just like, Whoa! Hang on, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I like to make one of your hammers caught, and you're like, ah, ah. Not like this. Not like this. All righty. Tova, grog. Oh boy. Bears first. Okay, so how far, how far would I have to run

to get in the front door? To get over here? Yeah. That would be 30. 35 feet would get you right at the front door there. So if I drag Keyleth out of the window, could I go through the window? Am I too big?

You could go through the window. You'd lose about 10 feet of your movement, but you'd be able to get through it. You'd probably push her out of it. I push her, could I pull her? Then I'd have to push her back in and then go through. I'm like the golden... If you go through, that's gonna use part of your actions this turn.

Or you could just barrel through and push her out. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? All right, so I can go 45 feet. Yeah. So if I just barrel through, bear roll through. Nice. How close could I get to this guy?

You can get right up next to it. All right, I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna go for it. Hey man, that's my thing. To least your thing. You rush over and go right past, now bear and bear, side by side. Okay, can I?

Keeleith, you get knocked. I think it looks over with hard eyes, like, like, oh my god. As all of a sudden, this giant wearbub, just shoulder checks you, and you go flying out, landing on your face on the heated stone, S-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h. That's okay.

Sorry, sorry. I needed to tan. It's getting a facie. Take three points of fire damage. Oh, God. I would feel worse if, like, your shopping trip hadn't gotten so much more tortured yesterday. You should never feel bad about injuring any of us.

It should have. We've all earned it at some point of time. I don't feel that bad. You shouldn't. You're legit shouldn't. So, all right, now I'm in there, is there any way I can get on the other side of him from Trinket? Currently, no. Your full movement gets you right up next to the pit fiend, so.

This is a bad plan. All right. Well, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna hit him with my... You have your bonus action too. Are my claws only magical when I'm doing the same? Your claws are magical in general. I'm just gonna hit him with my claws then. Okay.

All right. So you kind of like, take them. You take the sword and kind of chuck it aside for a second, you're going to go for a double strike? 19? 19 to hit? Yep. 19 misses, unfortunately.

God damn it. And 25. 25 does. The first strike just scrapes across the front of the belly of the pit fiend. No damage sustained. Kind of chuckles deeply. You back up with another strike. All right.

So that's 14. 14 damage? Yeah, I guess so. All right? And you can use your bonus action to attack a third. third time if you want to. Okay. I'm going to use my bonus action to cast curse of mutual suffering. Ooh. And I'm going to amplify that. So I'm going to, I guess that, wait. What are these words? If I use my, super special. It's about to get extra in here.

So if I do a blood curse and I take damage, does that mean that my werewolf state gets agitated or? If it's self-inflicted? If it's self-inflicted, no. It's like damage from the pre-jury. I'm going to amplify it, so that may to take 14. All right. So go ahead and roll your crimson right dive.

I think it's a D-8, I think. It's a D8, I think. What is it? Oh. Good. I thought that it was my other one, so it's fine. That's great. I took one point of damage.

And as far as the mutual suffering. All right, there you go. So, so mark on that it has, that it has, you watch as you rush up to it, you slash it twice with your claws, and as you pick up your sword, you put one hand up and as you close your fist, you watch as blood kind of pulls in the center of your palm

and kind of drips out the corners of your fingers. As it does, you watch the veins on the outside of Utogosh's stomach kind of pulse for a second, and his chuckle goes like a, like you got a tummy ache. Aw. All right, that ends your turn. I told you it was gonna be extra.

The bear musk over here. is palpable. So that finishes tov turn. Grog. I want to get in on the melee party. May I run up to his opposite side. Certainly. Just where his right arm is, you know,

just so he's got like escorts on each end. There you go. May I smash together my Titan stone knuckles. You may. It's like that hard on that. Yeah, it was good. As you now, as you now transform into your larger self.

What's that, bitch? Mail make two reckless attacks. You may. Thank you. That's a 30. That hits. Do I like two? Nice. That is a 36.

No, that can't be. 33. 33 damage? No, the hit. Second hit. Go ahead and one. 18 for the first one. These are two added, by the way.

And 22 for the second one. Nice. So 40 points of damage in the two strikes. As you rush up, kind of jumping off, almost diving into the pool, you kind of skirt off at the side, slam the tight and some gauntlets together and grow to your larger size. Swaring the axe in the air, you go, and the second strike, and a big X formation across the side of it. You see it gashing across the arm and the upper muscles of the shoulder.

See his fingers kind of grip the axe with more anger and frustration. Oh, and this is the thrower. It's still the dwarven thrower, the hammer. Right, right, the hammer, okay. Can I use my bonus action to go into a frenzy rage? You may? Nice. I don't get to attack with it. Yeah.

All right. What color is pit-feing blood? It's not angry. It's like a dark, dark, blackish purple. Two pairs and groin. Tuggle that. Okay. All right.

That ends grog and turns. Gron's turn. Percival. That's looking really crowded over there. You know, I'm gonna wander over to that first prison cell and take a look inside that door. He's sightseeing. He's sightseeing. Okay, make perception check. I'm standing in the corner looking at him like, Pursival. A lot. Yeah, a lot. 27. You glance inside and you can see what appear to be piles of goods, small chests, boxes, crates. It looks like various things that have been collected and just shoved in this corner and locked up. There was a lock on the door.

Okay. I've got, how's my visual on that guy through the window? Through here? And I ignore anything other than full cover. I ignore three-quarter cover. Yeah, I mean you have visual. All right. I'm going to take my first shot at that lock.

You don't have a bonus action, we'll say, because you kind of moved up and just glanced inside. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. I'll take my first shot with the pepper box at that lock. Lock. The lock? Okay, go for it. That's 27. 27, okay, go and roll damage on the lock.

Obviously, does it take psychic damage? That's 16 points of damage. 16 points of damage? 16 points of damage? The lock blasts off and kind of leaves hanging the small piece of twisted, turned metal that was once the top of it. The door is now unlocked and open. Cool. I'm going to turn and take my last two shots at Orthax. I got a plan.

U-Gosh. I have a Northex plan, never mind. I've just given the Ym away. Yeah, it's going out the wrong name in bed, eh? Yeah, but PTS2, flashback to first. I thought we were special. You're okay. I'm too tired, I'm gonna mess up my plan.

This is so bad. I'm totally in you. Udha-a-Gash. Oudegash. So first shot, I'm going to take the animus, and I'm going to try for a trick shot for an arm shot. Okay. So when burning writ, and you know, just for safety's sake, yeah, no, that's all.

So that's 31 to hit. 31 hits. And that's 1d10 plus 8 plus 1d6 sidekick. Plus I'm going to burn 8 points of Cabal's ruin. Which empties Cabal's ruin. Okay. So that's going to be, let's see, that's 14 points of damage, plus one point of psychic damage, plus...

8D6 lightning. Oh, shnikes. Ball's room, man. Three, four. Bestages at y'all who dispose of... Five, six. Yeah, I'll take a seven and a eight. I'll give these back to you.

That's good. That's good. 10. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14. 23 points, does that seem right? 23 points. 23 points of lightning damage. Okay.

And also he has to do a strength check or drop the axe. It's a 29. He makes that strength check. He's a natural 18. And just for fun, I'll take one more shot for fun. Go for it. That's 31 to hit. That hits. Nothing fancy on this one, obviously, just the old fashion.

16 points of damage plus one point of psychic damage. Okay, nice. And then I'm going to use the rest of my turn to, if possible, open that door and get behind it for cover of that room. Okay, because you blew the lock off from the door somewhat a jar, we can say you move it open and you can get partially inside, but that's not as far as you can get fully inside anyway. I want to just use it for cover.

All right, so you get behind the door and you're kind of ducking in the side there. Perfect. Okay. At the end of your turn, Udugash is going to use a legendary action to attack you. Bring it. That's going to be a... 16 to hit. You scurred? I think it hits through because you have no armor on.

So the giant axe swings towards you. That's going to be... Greetings adventurers. Spring has sprung here in Los Angeles, and that means it's a brief period where it's a brief period where it's a only 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees. I'll take it.

And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I got to say, looking a little bit sad.

From the impact, as the axe swings and cuts across your bare chest, all of a sudden, where the blood bulged early...

you watch a secondary wound open simultaneously where no weapon was apparently visible and making us just trickle out devil blood. Teach me. That was sick. And it's gonna use, as part of it, it's last secondary action, and does another maneuver with his finger like this in the air.

Taking him down with him. He did another gesture. He did another gesture? What gesture? What did he do? Go fuck. Did this. Gang sign, gang sign. No, people are watching.

All right. So, at the top of the round, No. You, uh, I moved a lot. The only people in the room right now, Keelta's face floor in the ground. I need Tova and Grog to make perception checks, if you could. What about Trinket? Trinkets got a really good sense of smell.

Have Trinquet roll a perception check. 17. Two. Wait, wait. Don't tell me. Does Keene sense of smell? Okay. 15 plus, what does he add to it?

Anything? Whatever's reception bonus is. Oh, wow, 17 plus 9. 26. Does that bear just get a better perception? Trinin doesn't know why, but it's like, and you can watch Trinket looking around them. There's apparently the Pitfeene is not alone.

You don't know where anything else is, but while the room appears to be empty, Trinket is picking up other sense in the room. No, that's ridiculous. Can I talk to Trinket? Can I understand Trinket? Sure. Yes!

Why not? You're bare form, you speak bear. I love this. There's something here. Two. There's two. Small. Why do you sound like a bear? You hear

the sound of grinding stone. Oh, shit. You don't see anything, unfortunately. The low light in here and you're not great perception, you don't pick out any visual other than a familiar familiar sound to you, Grog, as something in the ceiling opens up, and suddenly searing hot oil spilling from the ceiling down onto both you, Trinket, and Tova. I need you...

I need you to make dexterity saves, Tova, Trinket, and Grog. Oh, damn it. Don't fuck me, Gil. Oh, Gil. Oh, gill. Aw. Not a jabber. Did he get an advantage, though, because he sniffed out people?

Nope. Damn it. You should have gone to go. Three. Seven. All right. That is 21 points of fire damage to Trinket, Tova, and Grog. 29?

21. 21. 21 points of fire. That's way better. I am resistant to fire damage. I'm resistant to fire. This is like. strange thing called immunity to fire damage.

Immunity, not just resistance. Immunity. They live in hell, man. Damn. So I'm resistant to fire, but this is like boiling oil. Does that count? It's considered fire damage because it's the heat that does it, so you take half that.

Put you at 10. It's a note. It's a quantity. High pressure and high speed. All right. So as that's happening, as the oil splashes down, and you're like, ah, you guys are tensing from the impact. Vax, you're carrying on,

You can carry around the corner, and you hear, and you look to the other side just as the porceles has been lifted, and you see coming out of the opposite side that chamber is. Oh, fuck. What? What? Taddao.

Oh, no. What is it? One of the bones that you see running the tree comes forward to the other side. Its claws come through, and it's as white as the hallway. John hinges its tongue slathering. He's like small kind of flapping, like kind of almost insect-like wind. across the back of its scapula, its claws reach out towards you.

The rest of the body is, I'm a good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, am I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, me good, we're going, wait, did you already ask if the pit fiend took damage because you took damage to him? Oh, did he take damage from me? Was my curse still in effect?

The curse, once he takes the damage, the curse is up. It's just for one hit. Oh, I mean, sorry. Sorry. I tried my best. But he took 23 free damage. That's good. That's nice.

So Vaxx, it's going to take three attacks on you. Okay. That is a 27. Yeah, that kind of hits. All right, that is a 20. It does not hit. And with the tail, that is a 24. That also hits.

I will use uncanny dodge for the tail. Okay, so the first claw hits you, you take 11 points of slashing damage. And as the first claw strikes you across the chest, the second one, you manage to just duck right out of the way, Walk right out of the way, it slams into the stonework, and as you glance up, you try and dodge and roll out of the way as the tail just scrapes you across the back. That is 18 points of piercing damage, reduced to six, and you would have the possibility of becoming poison, however you guys are still under the effect of Hero's Feast. That does not affect you. So is tails poisoned?

It divides damage by three. That's awesome. Now it is Udhaush's turn. Oh my God. That was the turn, right? The turn, right? Sure. Little gosh. Oh, God.

Just stands here with the axe and goes, the mouth not moving, you just hear the voice echoing in between your ears, like it's just sourceless and in your face. Now the we're all gathered around. There's a flash of red in the eyes, and suddenly the ground circling him just erupts into flames. Oh, Jesus. A wall of fire is now currently circling the vicinity. vicinity. Oh, good. Oh, shit. Well, it's a melee party, because a melee party don't stop.

Oh, man. Wow. All righty. Looks cool. So this entire column of 20-foot-tall flames just encircling him bursts up, singeing, grog, trinket, and tova. Just singeing. It seemed like such a good idea. How high is the ceiling in that room? It's about 25 feet.

So there's a little space up top? up top. A little bit, I'd say. We can see through the fire. It's just. You can't see through the fire. The fire completely obscures your visual of him. Wow.

That's fun. So you do not, all you see is flames, and you see the vague shadows of Tova, grog, and shrinket now currently engulfed in them. I need you guys to all-old dexterity saving throws. Word. No crap. Natural 20! Nice. Fug me, though.

Fifteen. 15. God, son of a bitch. 12. All righty. Everyone but Trinket fails. That is... What a 15 and 12 don't make it? 23 points of fire damage to Grog and Tova. Resisted, I got half. Yeah. So that's 11. 11 to you and Trinket. Trinket takes 11. But currently, nobody else has visual range. You have no vision for Percy. Any range attacks, you cannot see the creature. And Utugash just sits there in the flames surrounding, seemingly not interested in moving at the moment, enjoying the current position.

We gotta get them out of those flames, ma'am. Like tech tire, you got some kind of dispelled major county at our room? I am so weak. That's not true. Don't you have spells? You have so many spells. You guys want a window somewhere? That brings us to vaccine. Did you put a window?

In the fire? In the fire? That would kill him. Yeah, yeah. He's real strong. All right, I'm going to use my bonus action to cast vow of enmity on the bone devil. All righty, vow of enmity is in play. Then I'm going to use one of my two actions, I'm using action to disengage from the bone devil and dance back past Doty.

It's back past Doty? Yeah. And then I'm going to chuck a goddamn, uh, Vestage at this motherfucker. At the bone double? It's a bonaddle. Oh, I rolled the same thing on both. 24 to hit.

That hits. Okay, so he's gonna get it. Alright, here we go. So that's two, plus eight is ten. How big is the last? About 25 feet tall. So there's like a little window on top. A little like four or five foot gap.

Very small. Okay. 18. 23. Beautiful glimmer in your act, is that. That's something, isn't it? 38, and I will smite him as well. Yeah.

Smite. 52. 52 points of damage. Wow. Nice. So as you throw the dagger, as the creature watches you dark pass, streaks out and try and strike at you, but you're already gone. Sorry, Charlie.

As you turn around, if you throw the dagger, it strikes right into the chest of the bone devil, as it bursts with this kind of dark grayish white light, indicative of the Raven Queen's direct impact. As it bert's, you watch as part of the flesh, tears open, showing the dark, bluish, purple sinew and muscle beneath. And the devil just, gha- Gah!

Give me the Out of that hole there! That's it, I'm done. Alrighty. That brings us to effects. Okay. So I'm gonna come up in front of the window. Okay. You glance in and you just see fire,

and like the butt of turning Great. Sticking out of the fire. Doing fine though. It's my fiends. Just kind of up in the air, kicking. So, I mean, can I hunter's mark the pit fiend? You can't see it. You have no big wall on it. That's fine. I know where he was, right? Trinket is facing him, so can I try to shoot him with an arrow anyway? I'll say you have no vision.

No visual on him. Go ahead and shoot. Go for it. Try it. Disadish. I don't know if that helps at all. No, he's completely covered. Go ahead and. Oh, was being aggressive. The lower of the two rolls was 29.

Okay, you watch as you fire your arrow and it just disintegrates upon touching the wall of fire. The actual shaft burns as it impacts with the flames. Okay. Cool. These are fireproof arrows. I know, right? proof arrows. Great. If I shot an arrow from a blazing bowstring so it was already a fire arrow, you think it would go through?

Let's give it a shot. Okay, I'm gonna do that. Okay, so second attack, blazing bowstring, go ahead and roll the disadvantage. Man, you're gonna tell you shit. Well, I know. Damn it, those ones were not as good. Process of elimination. 19. You go ahead and fire. It isn't consumed by the flames, but the arrow you hear exit the other side and then ricochet off the far wall it missed the creature's target. Fuck. Well, it could have been cool. Yeah.

Okay. Trinket is going to use his bonus action to try to attack him anyway, even though he's not magical. All right, go for it. He's shit. 20. You're cool when you fuck up as well. That's okay. That is 26.

26 does hit. Yay, go drink it. Come on, drink. Yeah, that's good, too. That's 15. That's 15. 15, half that two, seven. Seven points of slashing damage across through the fire, just just still bravely fighting into it.

Yeah, and then he's gonna, I'm gonna tell Trinkett, back the fuck out of the fire, Trinket! That's a good plan. What are you doing? Stop attacking, get out of the fire. Backs up and gets out of the flames, backing up against the wall. Yeah, and then I'm gonna back away from the window. All right. I'm gonna, yeah, back away from the window. As Trinket, where do you want Trinket to land, by the way?

Into that. Laser part or right? Just into the corner, like where the angle of the wall is. Over there? Yeah, right there. Okay. And I'm gonna back away from the window. Okay.

To worry, he doesn't have visual on me. You back the way to the window over here? Yeah. Okay. As Tricket backs into that corner, I need Trinket to go ahead and make a dexterity saving throw. Of course. Come on, Tray. Come on, Trick! Come on, buddy.

Oh, it almost was really good. That it wasn't. Six! Six. A giant cage falls from the ceiling of heated metal and just fits on them filled with spikes. No! And just kind of, you hear Trigot yell from the other side. Trinket takes that is seven points of piercing damage. You did that to an animal. You don't fuck with the Rangers bear.

And six points of fire damage from the heated metal. And Trinket is currently restrained. rained, has to try and break free to get out. Is that just an evil? You're evil. No, Udhajah is evil. There is a definite distinction. Mr. Mercer, we pulled you over for speeding tonight. No, no, no.

I wasn't speeding tonight. It's important, guys. All righty. So, that ends your turn of Vex. Terry and you're up. Fix everything. Make it better. Hey boss. Killing.

Is there just a cage or is there a door on the bare cage? It looks like there is no visible door. You'd have to tear it off of him or, you know. That's not going to happen. Okay. Our last fight I had hasted myself. That was more than a minute ago, though, right? I'd say it's about half.

It's about halfway down. Oh, I'm still hastily. This is all happened pretty quickly, because as soon as you, as the battle started with the Cambian that you guys chased out, every round they're after still going. So you still have, we'll say,

five more rounds of haste. Okay. Well, then I'll go in, I'll go in to the place. Okay, you jump over the window. You know, buddy. Keyleth breaks your fall. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. It's hard to see you with my helmet.

I hope you're still on the ground. I have to break. Crush your zone? No peripheral vision. Yeah, and you see just the column of flame just flickering and burning in the center of the room. Occasionally you see like a wing tip kind of carve through the top as the creature is moving within the wall of fire. Oh my god. Do you have a fire extinguisher? No! I don't have anything!

How far can I move hasted? Right, wait, no. Double your movement. You just double your movement, okay. So my movement's 30. so I can move in there with him? If you wanted to, yeah. Okay. I'm just gonna go, ah, and run into the fire.

Oh my gosh. You just rush into the flames. Oh, no. I need you to roll dexterity saving throw. You take. Wait, did you just get, advantage on dexterity. I'll dodge the fire.

Oh. Oh. All right, no. That's nine. 30 points of fire damage. Haveed. have because of. My helm of brilliance.

That's true. There you go, so 15 points of fire damage to you, Terriam. As you rush through, you're like, ha! And you, the fire was enough, and you sit there and look right up on this massive, like, swollen, devilish entity with giant red leathery wings, lower jaw, with hooked tusks that stick out the bottom, gleaming yellow piercing eyes, giant horns that curl up

from the brow, a giant axe in one hand, and the other hand just kind of points at you and goes, hi, in the center of your head. I'm just gonna say, hi, it's a little warm in here. Here, cool off, and I'll throw acid on him. All right, go ahead and make the attack. What am I, I don't know what I'm rolling? 14. This is to hit?

Or it's magic. I don't know. How does this work? One, let's spell attack. It's a vial of acid. It's a vial of acid. I'm going to pull up your class here, just check it out. I never know if this is like a spell attack bonus sort of a thing. When you throw it and they have to make a saving throw. So what's your DC?

The DC of the spell is 17. 17. Okay. It requires a saving throw. Okay, this is the acid. I like how the music stopped while we figured it is technical. Oh, de' tary. Okay. That is seven.

Seven. Oh. So he resists it completely. Wow. So, fall she has to, or take? Yeah. Yeah, he resists it entirely. Oh.

Yeah, sorry. No problem. As you throw it, you throw it kind of like, hits the edge of the horn and just shatters and breaks behind it. Oh. Oh. All right, I will, I think I get a bonus still, maybe.

You do have a bonus to me. You will cast sanctuary on myself? Well, what you do is you have an extra attack for... Oh. As haste, you get your action. Okay, that was my action. That was your action. You have another action to do a melee attack if you want to.

Okay, I will stop him with my lance. Okay, go for. Yeah, as haste, you get the additional attack. Ooh, that's gonna hit. It's a 25. That hits actually. Go ahead and roll damage. And it is a magical weapon, so he's not resistant to it.

Oh, okay. How do you make when you hit him? Just that. It's like a breathy. Okay, so that's... Work on your warface. That's one D12. Thank you very much.

Uh-huh, that's seven. Do you add anything to it? Seven points- Oh, wait, I get a plus six. Oh, and it was a six! That's 13! Is that fire damage? No, the fire damage is another plus one, but I don't think you'll be adding that.

No. Okay, good. So 13. 13 points of damage against the pit feet as you stab it. And then you can cast sanctuary and yourself as your bonus. I will. And as I do that, I also say, Doty, remember how I said back up grog? Me!

Back up me! As Doty charges forward. Oh, shit. And rush rushes in. I need Doty to make a dexterity saving throw. Oh no. 16 plus, what's his dexterity? Zero. So 16. Doty takes 30 points of fire damage. He's unconscious.

Already? Well, he, I don't know when the last time we rested was, but I have down that he only has 30 hit points left. Well, because you heard himself going through the, pulling through the metal outside of them. So Doty comes rushing in and just collapses on the ground next to you. Superheated. Oh, no. Is he gonna melt? Oh, you don't think so? He's in the fire, right? In the fire, yeah.

Oh, God. Wait, is he making like some sort of a window that someone else could walk over? No, the flames curl around. Damn. Sorry. Oh, bummer. Tody, yes.

All right, so that ends Terry in's turn. Good, I'm glad I used that last little thing. Kill my best friend. All right. Terry, terrible, me friends. At the end of the turn, the pit fiend kind of sticks a hand out of the flames and does this motion. Oh, fuck. Make a perception check again.

Grog. It's a problem. And Chove, both of you guys. Fourteen. Tov a fire. Tauva fire. 17. Okay.

17. Okay. So I'm not quite noticing anything, but you're starting to notice that there are these small, kind of inset stone circles on the wall by behind him over in this area, and you watch as two of them just go and get pressed in by themselves. Into the wall or out from the wall? Like into the wall. Like something just depressed, like this giant circular stone button, just go, separately. What is that? What is that? At that point, the, okay, so Vax, where you are, the floor, you hear a, like something releasing.

I need you to make a dexterity saving. Oh, well, good. You got it, you got this. I'm in an advantage. Hopefully that's good. Not that good. My God, can you do a look? No, hold on, hold on.

Dexterity? It might be balloon animals. It's almost not yet. Oh, man, it's not great. It's 16. Use luck. I think I have one left. I think I have one left.

So I made it. Go for it. Do it. That's better. That is 25. 25 is enough. enough. So what happens is the ground suddenly hinges out from under you, and you leap up and jam your blades into each side of the wall and kind of like put your foot out of the

side, and it's almost not enough to press in the small space, but you just barely catch yourself Van Damme style on each side, and the bone demon across me its wings flare up. As the ground tumbles up from under you, you see about 10 feet below you a pool of molten iron that and it stays open swinging for a few seconds, closes once more beneath you. Good to knife. I'm really going to use that look. Good to know.

How do you know it's not molten steel? I'm kidding. One way to find out. All righty, that brings us... We'll insert this polymer. It brings us tequila. Oh my God. Oh, geez.

Okay. I'm g-h-so. You stand up and see Trinket currently trapped in the cage next to you just whining like, hmm, say, it's okay, buddy, just hang on. And I say, tsunami coming through, look out! And I'm gonna do a tidal wave and go in a small and closed space.

Amazing. Did you have the laser pointer? Is this an undead? No. No. No. That's molten blood, he said. It's molten blood?

Is it boiling blood? It's a ruptych. It's not. It's not bad. All right, so you're doing tidal wave? Uh-huh. Okay. And I want to kind of try and avoid my friends.

It's like a 10-foot wide thing. I'm pretty sure. I mean, if you got it, you know how to have about it. In fact, there's a 10-foot gap it looks like, right, Matt, between everybody? Right up front? Right up front, there's a little bit of a gap there, and Doty is on the ground.

You can step onto the ground. It's 10 foot, right? Can I do my tidal wave from this direction backwards? How wide is the tidal wave? 10 feet. It's still going to hit somebody. These are going to hit. There's five feet between Tarian and Tova, and... Aim for him. Either me or Taryn. Let a rip. I mean, Doty. Or whoever. I know Grog is dexterous, so Grog can take it.

Sorry, Grog. I can take anything. Amen. She respects me too much. Just carve that into a tree. But I want to do like starting here and going backwards. Towards you. Towards you.

Towards me. So look this way. Correct. Thank you. And you're choosing Tarian? No, Grog. To get hit. So this way.

If, yeah. It's a 10 foot wide column that I just want to go back. Right. So it's, in order for it to hit the Pit Fiend, It's going to hit either Tarian or Grog. No. No, because Grog's far off of the same, if it comes back this way, it's just going to hit Grog. Sorry, I was confused, but you say Grog. So who's it going to hit? It's going to hit either Tarian or it's going to have to hit Tova and Doty.

Um, do what you gotta do. Just do it. Tova. Oh, wow. Okay. The gas. Wow. I need to I need Tova to make a dexterity saving throw. Only because I think she's more dexterous than him. I'm not. I don't know. That is 11.

Are you serious? He's hates. Oh, well, balls. Was it? 11. That's not going to work for a spell DC. However, Utogosh does not make the save either. Yay!

With a roll of a 6 plus 8. That is a 14. So that's 4D8 bludging damage. Go and roll that. Oh, man. Kill our own guest. No, it's not that much. Five, six, seven.

You're going to re-roll. Uh. 10 and a re-roll, I do an eight. So that's 23. 23 damage, thank you. Okay. And he should be knocked prone. Wait, that's not a seven.

Yes. No, it's an eight, wait, five, seven, seven, that's 10, 18, 18 damage. Okay, gotcha. And he's knocked prone. And then the water then spreads across the ground in all directions and extinguishes unprotected flames in an area within 30 feet of it?

Correct. Turn tight. Wow. Dude. That's all they cared about me? So the water in the wall of fire in that one section kind of Tshh. Unfortunately, the achievement continues to produce flames

once the spell disseminates the water. The nature of the spells it perpetually conjures fire. So there is a brief moment where it does cause a gap and the flames pick up that's He is not prone. He took damage. Okay. All right, there you go. Sorry, guys.

No, it was good. Are you going to move or stay here, Keeleith. I'm going to back up as, can I now kind of crawl, do I have enough moving to crawl back through the window? You do. I'll do that. See back through there and you can get back around that way. Yeah, just I kind of want to keep it, use it as like cover. Okay.

That ends Kielas' turn. Tova. Rog. So, took some damage a little bit. A little bit, but I'm prone. So you can get up and use half your movement. Okay. By any chance, since I am a, okay, I gotta make a wisdom saving throw

to not attack anybody. Okay, are you under half health? Yes, I am. Oh, I did it. I actually did it. Okay, it's fine. Don't worry. False alarm. Everything's fine. So you maintain control.

Oh, dear Lord. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. about it. You know it's later when it comes up. What would it happen to me? No, everything's fine. This is fine.

We're fine. All right, everything's good. How are you? That's pretty cool. All right, so if I stand up, that takes half my turn. Is that we said? Half your movement. Okay, well, I'm gonna stand up.

And so... You're still in the flames currently. Oh, well, that's topic. So you can take your turn and then back out of the flames if you want to. Now, since... Yeah, I'm gonna use my crimpses right to light up my claws. With what type of?

With frozen. Frozen, okay. Frozen. Does that help me with fire, can I like bat the flames away with my icy pot? Your hands feel more comfortable. All right. All right.

So your claws, where once was these giant bear claws, you watch as mystic ice gathers around them, turning into longer razors that extend from original claws. All right, I'm gonna, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna come to this guy. I'm gonna. Eat it, Uda Gauche. All right, so wait, my claw attacks with the right,

does that increase my? Not to hit, but it does an additional 1D8 cold damage per strike. All right, so that's a 26. That hits. Do you get advantage because he's prone? Yes. Yeah, you do get advantage because he's prone, so. Yes.

24. That hits. And the third attack, if you want to use your bonus, or you'll use your bonus, Crimson Wright, so you only get two. Yep. You're right. So both hit, roll damage.

All right. So that is a 13. And that is a 15. Then you add an extra 8. Add 2D8 cold damage to that as well, because if you're a crimson roll. 2D8, okay. Can I use my great weapon to re-roll my wand here?

Yeah. Great weapon master? All right, can do that. So that is a four. That's a five. So nine. Nice. Okay, it's a total of 37 points of damage in two strikes.

And you want to back out of the flames? Yeah, that'd be good. So you can get that far out of the way. There, so you back up, just out of the fire. Look over and there's other bear chain in that place. Okay. All right, that ends your turn. Running blue on the ground. Oh, boss, Bagosh, it's time for hammers.

Can I advance through the ring of fire in on him more? Unfortunately, because of both of your sizes, you cannot advance into the ring. He takes up too much space. So you're either standing right in the middle of the ring and just taking it or you're gonna have to back out of it. What if you jump on him? You can try if you want to.

You could jump on him. I'm gonna shut up. Yeah, that's not actually a terrible idea. Because of the worst, I just fall off one side or the other, into the boiling blood. I'll just stay in the ring of fire. Okay. I don't want to test the Saracha pit just to it. Can I make, and because he's prone, do I get advantage on the attacks without having used reckless? Correct. You do. Okay, can I make all three of my frenzy attacks?

You may. With a ring fire. I think you already get advantage though because he's prone. That's what she's, that's what you said. Oh, yeah. 35 for the first one. Okay, that hits. Which is... 10...

26. That hits. Nice. I can't know. That's 29. Yeah. 10. 26 again. Closer close it out.

19. Come on. 37. Ooh. Alrighty. And that is 22 points of damage. 22 points of damage. All righty. Can I...

Use my action surge. What? What is that? What is that thing? Action surge are magical. Did you take something? Yeah, that's second level in fighter, y'all. What? Action surge is mean.

Draghi got two more hits. Two more hits? Holy shit. It's five attacks, and one hit. I can only do it one time. That's a 23. That hits. 25 points of damage.

points of damage. Oh, that's one. 29. Hits? Yeah. 21 points of damage. All right. How many points was that?

How much damage did you just do with one? I did over 100. What? But I'm cooking. Well, yeah. I'm cooking. Yeah. So you're stinging where you are?

Yeah, like really strong hits because I'm just burning while I'm doing it. Just literally wailing through the fire, just angry. Make your next 30 save a throw. Yep. On that. That sucks. It's a seven. High resistance to fires. It's okay. 28 points of fire damage, reduced to half, 14.

14. Thank you. All righty. That ends Grog's turn. Percival. So if he's prone, does that mean that that negates the difficulty to hit through the ring? Well, actually, range attacks against prone creatures have disadvantage, natural. Oh, have naturally disadvantaged. And you can't even see him. You have no visual range.

You don't even know that he's prone. So that's a mess. Yeah. movement, can I move out of the ring? So I was asking if you wanted to do that or not. Oh yeah, I would like to, yeah, after all the smashing is done. Okay, then you move out, you actually do not take that last bit of fire damage. You take that when you end your turn in the fire.

Sorry, thank you. So how do you far do you back up? Just out of the range? Yeah, just, yeah, just on the cusp of it. So you just step out of it. Okay. Not to the other corner where there's probably... Probably not.

Yeah, I think I can see that. I think I can see that Vax is kind of having a little bit of a problem. You can glance to the side. Yeah, yeah, there's a window in the door. I'm going to swing around the other side of that door really quickly and just perch on the wall right over there, and I'm going to take a couple shots at Mr. Mr. Skellington. Go for it. You're not just in the closet over there, like sorting through file cabinets? No. I was talking to the seats. We've got them on tax evasion.

I'll find a person in there. I'll keep digging. Okay, so first shot, I'm going to do, I'm going to burn a grit for a torso push. Okay. Throw the barrier. Actually, and you know what, and I'm going to burn a, I'm also going to add hex to that just for fun. I'm going to hex them. Okay, cool. All right, so that's 23 to hit.

23 to hit hits. That's, there we go. That's 14 points of damage, two points of psychic damage, and five points of necrotic. All right. Yasser has disadvantage on Constitution saving, on checks. Checks, got it. And he's pushed 10 feet back. Up against the wall there.

And I'm going to shoot him two more times. All right. Oh, the portclus closed one. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. The portclus is currently, actually, it is closed, right? How does he push through it and save there? Second shot, I'm actually going to burn one more grit, and I'm going to try and give him,

I'm going to try for a headshot, which will disadvantage on the next round's attacks. Okay. 24 to hit. 24 hits. That's 11 points of normal damage, five points of psychic damage, two points of necrotic damage. All right.

Piercing damage. Cool. And he has to save against a Constitution saving throw. Against 20? That is 16. He has disadvantage on all of his physical attacks for the next round. Okay, cool.

And one more shot for fun, and let's make this just a sharpshooter, just for fun. Sure. That was not my wisest thing ever. 16. 16 does not hit, unfortunately. That's worth it. I don't think Bax has ever had one of Percival's boards

go right by his ear and it is unsettling. And I'm going to flip back around on the other side of that. I'm going to see I just run spider crawl all the way on the other side of that door again. All right, that is your turn. All right, at the end of Percival's turn, there is a grinding sound above. Groghig, you should make another dexterity saving throw. Come on, Gil. Oh, Gil!

Yeah, man, Gell. Eighteen. Thank God for him. No! Is it big enough to cover his big body? It's just like a spiked helmet that's stabbing me in the cheeks. It gets around your upper torso and sticks you partway on, and you're like, your arms like, pshh to the side.

It tears into you. Start running around. Yeah, you do take. You could barrel up. Boom! Boom! Take 14 points of piercing damage, reduced to seven, and then six points of fire damage,

reduced to three. Is he like one of those guys of the gigantic, and you are strained? hat on and a face painted on the belly? Oh my God, yes. This one has the spikes in the inside, too? Yep. And it's hot. And it's hot.

It's how the piercing in the fire damage hits you. It sucks. Oh! All right. How you sound too. Always. Yep. All right.

Ending that, the Oon Devil is going to fly across. Oh, God, I don't like them. It's going to try over Vax and land on the opposite. side. Did you go past me? Can I get an attack of opportunity? Nope. It flies up high enough to be out of your range and then drops down both claws arcing towards you with a disadvantage. First one is going to be 22. Nope. Wow. Nice. 18? Nope. What's your AC? Hasted with both daggers out? It's 23.

Yeah. And then with the tail, that is 19, all three miss. Get wrecked. Thank you, Percy. Thank you, Percy. I shot him in her face. Yeah, the eye, kind of got blasted on the side. Part of the skull is kind of broken and destroyed. Get wrecked. All right. I don't know I breathe for a second before I shoot.

At this point in time. Oh no. Oh no, he's pulling beans out. Oh, gosh. Two more, two more devil characters come through. The porkless rises as they pass through, and they go into a full run into this chain. Oh, Jesus.

What are those? You see these red-skinned devil humanoid rush in with these long, jagged spears. You see these horn crests in their head, and from where their chins are, there are these writhing tentacles covered in thorns and barbs that should move and twist around. What? What? What's sweet hell did your imagination come from? Full movement with them double-dashing that guy will get there.

This guy will get about there. That's as far as he can get. to anybody yet. All right, and then, ending that, we have Gudugash, stands up in the flames and looks down at Tarian Darington. Oh, no. Good day to you, sir. Do you know my father? You hear the voice echo in the center of your mind. Good day and good night.

It's gonna make a full round of attacks on you. Oh boy. So that is 30 to hit? Yeah, of course. Okay. Doty will say it, nope. I see, leans forward and takes a big chunk with this bite out of the front of your,

it tries to get into the helmet, and the jaw sticks under the chin. That's going to be 24 points of piercing damage. However, you are immune to poison, so you don't have to worry about his poison right now, thanks to your... That's good. So the helmet catches most of the brunt of it, and one of the teeth, like, jabs you, right underneath the jaw and you can feel it pierced and making it bleed from underneath. As soon as it kind of pulls back and shoves you aside, it releases its grip as its claw strikes out from its left arm. That is a 16 to hit. Because I'm hasted, that does not hit.

Roll the two to hit. You just managed to duck out of the way. However, as you get up, as you say, ha ha ha! The axe comes from the other side. That is a 22 to hit. I have bell! Yeah, that hurts. Wow. Ooh, double nines. That is 18. 28 points of slashing damage.

The snake is kind of googly-eye. And the flames that currently engulf the axe. What is it? What is the axe? The axe is burst into flames as he swings with it, deals an additional, that's kind of a shitty roll. 16 points of fire damage. Trying to roll.

How many D's of what did you roll? 66. Oh, fuck. You're 66, that is pretty shitty. And using the momentum of the axe, the entire body of the pitfeen spins around the tail. I should have too much dame. Whipping towards you, that is 20 to hit.

Me? Yes. But I'm just a man. You're slightly, baby. Yeah, of course that hits. Okay. So as the tail swings past, that is 28 points of blood damaging damage.

Oh. Good. Are you alive, Terry? I'm okay because Marisha reminded me that when I was not here one week, she gave me an extra 17 hit points, which I still have. Inspiring Leader Feed. They're helping a lot right now. Oh, my gosh. Oh, gosh, that's great.

Oh, goodness. Yeah. All righty. And with that, Udo-Dogh is just going to stay there. In the center of the flames, just waiting for people to come to him. He still looks nonplussed, just chill? You have, you don't know. You can't see through the fire.

It's chill. That brings us to the top Vax. You're up. All right, I'm going to shoot out my fucking wings, and I'm going to hunt as mark the asshole. And then I'm going to skip. The guy you're fighting? Hmm?

The guy you're fighting? Yeah. And I'm going to skip, disengage and just fly backward toward the end of the hall he came out of. Yeah? On the first of those attention. of those attacks. Yeah?

I have sanctuary. Oh. You do. It's just one wisdom roll. Natural 20 plus 10, 30. So he would have, he would have still. Yeah, I think it's safe to say,

even in retrospect. Yeah, sorry. Natural 20 first. Time progressed as it was meant to. Good. But good call. All righty. Alrighty, Vax.

Wings, hunters mark, chancing a hit as I fly down the hole away from him. This way? Yeah. Yeah, that's good. Okay. Attacks with the tail. At disadvantage still at disbandage still. 16. This is 8. This is 20. Nope. Just arcs and misses you as you zoomed. And I'm going to chuck whisper using a sharp shooter.

But at advantage, 26. That hits. Oh no. All right. Oh, 50, 6, 11, 11 plus psychic damage. Sorry, doing math. Be right with you. 9.

7.41. 58. Jesus. Nice. My lord. Fucking rabies. So that was towards the bone devil. Oh, the throwing the dagger?

Yeah. Yeah. Right. And that was with the sneak attack damage Because I'm at advantage because of vow of enmity. Val-Middi was on the pit fiend. No. No. It was on the bone double.

You're right, it was. You were correct. Oh, and also Hunter's Mark. So let's up that by one. 5,9. All right. All right, cool. So that's the single attack? I've used everything.

Wings. That's right. Hunters Mark and the dagger. All done. Bonus. Action, action, action. Okay. Cool.

So that ends your turn, Vex. Okay. If I pop through the window, will I be able to get back out of the window, like I wanna pop through the window, get Trinket in the Locket? That's what I'm gonna do first. Okay, so you come through, step through. It's 15.

Go, Buddy! Okay, and as you do, Trinket zooms into the locket, saved, leaving the cage to clink to the ground. Okay, do, do. And then I'm gonna pop back through the window. Okay. That's your turn? Yeah, sure. Can I let him back out of the locket from there? Or?

Next turn you can. Okay. That's my whole fucking turn. Yep. Terrian. What happened? That's my turn? Yes.

Oh, great. You guys would all be taking fear-ora checks, but you're immune to fear because of your Heroes Feast. Fear or a check? Yeah. You know how sometimes we're in fights? Matt, you know, sometimes we're in fights and bad guys can, like, walk around us without incurring, like, damage. Yeah, you only get the attacks of opportunity if you move away from them. If you stay within range, it doesn't...

So I'm going to clock around him clockwise. Okay. Yeah. Until... Yeah, right there is pretty good. Do I see any... I can't see out of the ring, right? Okay.

You are stepping into the flames to do this, by this, by the... Ew, what? That's not good. You can get right here on the edge and not be quite in the fire. I'll do that. Okay. And I'll say it's been lovely having this time with you in private, but our seven minutes in heaven are up. So I need you to leave.

So I will do the ring of the ram at full strength and push him out of his own ring. Oh, shit. Okay. If it works. That's a one. No! But I'm feeling lucky. Yes!

That's a three. Oh! Oh! Can I feel really lucky? Unfortunately, it does not work that way, Tarian. I am so sorry. No, that's fine. Does it fire? It does fire.

Unless I've mistaken, I believe it's just a miss, it's like a hit or miss type circumstance. Oh yeah, it's just misses. Yeah. And I've lost it all there. Yeah. So the ring just, the ram head goes, creeding out of the wall of fire, you're slamming into the stonework and causing big crack in the stone on the wall. And if he just kind of, I'll eat your face first. Oh, Jesus. I like my face.

Oh, okay. You still hasted. Still hasted. Still hasted. You still have your speed. I do. For my second thing, I can only do a melee attack. I can't cast anything. I can't reach into my satchel or anything. The bonus attack that you have from haste, action is for weapon attack only. Weapon attack only.

Yeah. Or you could try and run away. Yeah, I could. I could. I could. What would Doty do? Hmm. That's fair. Fall over and be a conscious is what Doty would do. I will spend the rest of my turn moving back to where Doty was. picking up his book, putting it in my bag of holding so it doesn't burn up. Okay.

That's really sad. And then crawl into a ball and cast sanctuary on my soul. Okay. Oh, wow. That ends Tarian's turn. Oh, my God. All right. If I don't look, he'll go away. Oh, God.

Okay. That brings us now to Keyleth's turn. Okay. Where are the little pissant guys? There's one there right next to Grog, and there's one right next to Doty there. Oh, yeah. Oh, good. We're not they were there. So there and there. Okay. I'm going to hop through the door, or the window, again.

All right. I'm going to cast Sunbeam. You're going to move into countertrain, get them both in the same path. Yeah. All righty, Sunbeam, it is. Matt, can I have said I use my bonus action that at least hide? Sure, roll a stealth check.

All right, so it is Constitution saving there for both of the bearded devils. Duh. 23. Okay, good enough. That is a 10. Negative. And an 18.

Oh, negative again. So 68 radiant damage to both, and they are both blinded. And they're both blinded this next year. Yeah, motherfucker's. 68. Can have two more D8s, please. Have some D8s. Those were definitely D6s. I'm sorry, here's some D8s.

Have some D8s. Thank you. Oh, that's good, that's good. Okay, 16, 18, plus 7 is 25, right? Yeah, 25, 30 points of radiant damage. Two, both of them. As the beam across the room, it streaks down the way, and both them just get engulfed

by it, as the beam of bright sunlight energy slowly diminishes, they're both, their faces are just seared, you see smoke pouring out of their eyes, as they're both reaching up with the sockets. That was not so good for them. They're both looking pretty rough already. I look at Terry. Terry's within 30 feet of me, yeah? You don't see Terry. You just see a column of fire. I don't see Terry. Terry is currently inside the wall of fire, pulled in a ball. Really? All you see is a giant flame in the center of the room, and half of Doty being slowly heated up.

Do I see anyone else? And does anyone else look rough? I'm sitting there. I'm sitting a fucking cage. The giant cage on his upper body, kind of wrapping around his torso. Just spinning in place. Rood him! Running! Rottom!

I'm rough, man. Do I see Toba? You do see Toba, yeah. Okay. I say, don't know if her enemies are not right now, but... Hey! Sorry about the whole tsunami thing! And I give her a healing word.

at level one. I'm gonna give you... With shit. You get... POSMIS spell, modify... Um, uh, sorry. Um... nine hit points. Fixed. Yay! All better now. It all helps. Thank you.

Trust me, it helps. All right. And Keelis, you stay where you are? Yeah. All right, Keel stays there. Tova and Grog, you're up. So, two questions. And one of them is... Is my right still on? Yes, it is. Your right stays on until you dismiss it. My question also is, are these cages still, like, would it hurt me to, like, touch one or move one?

They're hot. I mean, they're pretty warm. My hands are very cool. You know what, actually, with your claws out, I would say that they will do no damage to you, because the cold will offset that. All right. And we'll steam like a motherfucker when you touch them, too. If this sounds doable. Okay.

But I want to grab that cage that the trinket was under. Okay. and like move it towards where Udhajahs is. And Terry's like in the fire, yeah? Yes. Can I kind of grab him and pull him back with me behind this cage? He's about 15 feet from you don't even know where he is.

You know he's inside of the fire, but you don't see him. Because you're outside of the flame, always sees a wall of fire. You'd have to go into the fire, you have to step into the fire, take the fire damage, grab him and pull him back. You probably one of you is going to take his time. Can I just reach my.

My cold bear hand into the fire, grab him and pull him out. We'll still take the fire damage from the wall of fire, unfortunately. Cold bear. Can I get, like, decreased fire damage? It's probably not going to work out. It's a magical fire, I'm sorry. But the cage is near by. Clays near hand.

So if you want to grab the cage and move towards it, you can do that. What was the name of this ice cream? Is that what you want to do? Let me, uh... Can I grab this cage? You're doing something with the cage. We're just figuring out what? This is a cage just sitting out.

I gotta do something. Can I like throw the cage at that guy who's standing there? He's there, right? You can. Go ahead and make a strength check. You have advantage because you are in your bare form. That is a 14. 14 is fine. No, wait. 13.

13. What? Didn't you roll in 8? 8 initially, plus their strength of 10, so 18. Oh, yeah. Bear's a grade at math. So this is athletics, or I'm sorry, this is your, there'll be an athletics check to lift. Oh, okay, yeah.

That's, yeah. 18. So you reach over and you grab it and the steam rises up the the cage and you lift it up over your head, and you're going to go ahead and try and throw it over this guy there. So as you lift the cage, go ahead and roll for just accuracy on this roll and attack. Add your perf- Would you roll?

Oh, no. Oh, dear. You throw the cage in it rolls into the center of the hallway there, kind of blocking the doorway. Oh, those ones are the worst. I know. That dice sucks. I know, yeah.

Seriously, yes. Dice killed. What else can I do? You still have your movement and your bonus if you wanted to do a... Oh, you have healing or potions or any sort of. You still have your blood maledict if you want to use any of those. Oh, my stuff is probably... in that prison that purse is in.

I didn't, I don't have any pockets. Oh yeah. There's no wallaby patch. I was sort of unprepared for this. I was really excited for this fight. Tiny pockets. What is the problem of women's fashion to be fair? I know, even with bears.

Like, why tiny pockets? I know. Come on, women's fashion. Come on. So I have my bonus action? You do. Salmon's back. I got this.

What is it blood malady? It's really cool. It's a curse, no. We're not as helpful as I had hoped. I can see an object's history. Is this helpful in this piece. What is you doing? I'm gonna try and get out of the cage.

All right, do I make a strength? I've invented on this. Yes, you do. Of the factage. That's good. That's bad. That's bad. 27.

27. As you tense, the metal actually bends out the sides and you just tear the cage off of the top of you. That's your action. That's your whole action. Yep. That's cool. Yep. You got bonuses and stuff. You do. You have your bonus action if you're still raging, so. Yeah. Hot dude.

Waking up. There's, there's... I'm gonna throw. I want you just see a column of fire. You just see a column of fire. There's tiny people around you. behind me, don't I? You do, yeah. He's going to turn to jelly. I'm on, do I have my movement? You do.

I would like to visit him, please. You turn around and he's right there. Currently with his eyes smoking from being seared with a sunbeam. All right. Smash. Okay, he's blinded, you have advantage automatically. Yay! I just, natural twilight. Oh, can you imagine you have been a tentative food?

Yes. We're waiting for it all night. Yes, so I'm good. Smear him. That's 24. Like a wishbone on them. Thanksgiving. Two additional damage die.

Like a fat mosquito. 30. 30 points of damage? Yeah. They're all three really low. You just, as he turned around, he's... Oh, actually, I can re-roll a one or two, which is that last one? Nine, that's better.

So... It doesn't matter. He's dead. He's so dead. As you turn around and see him there, you go, hi. When he's going, ah, and here's the... Hi. His entire head just collapses inward, and you shove it down about the height of the rest of his shoulders.

He just to the ground and just crumbles, and then burns into ash and just cinders left behind. Destroyed. Cool, huh? It's pretty cool. It's beautiful is what it is. All right, and in Grog's turn, Percival? You're up? Wait, can I take my last thing?

Oh, yes, right. Yeah, we can do the bonus. All right, so I can only move or I can only use my bonus, action, yeah? Yeah. Okay, well, I'm just going to cast. We're both. Cursive Mutual Suffering on Udegas one more time. And.

You currently do not have visual range on him. You can't see him. Oh. Does it say for the curse that you need to be able to see the creature? That's the question. It just says a creature within 30 feet. Oh. Mm-hmm.

So yeah. So you just know where they are. So you can. So curse of mutual suffering does hit Udgash. You're going to amplify it or not? Am I going to what? Am I going to what? Amplify it?

Go ahead and roll your D8 and take D8 damage. All right, I'm just gonna, oh, six. That is six for me. Alrighty. And then I'm just gonna kind of throw my bare arms wide and just like. Can that me, bro? Sup, asshole.

Perfect. All righty. She knows that, please. Percival, you're up. All right, I'm gonna reload, cause boy, I'm out. Bubble throat. Bubble throat.

Bubble throat. Bumble throat. Yeah, no, that's right. I was like, what? What? Yeah, blah, yeah. Got a little thing. I didn't know it had a name, and now it's the obvious name for it.

It's bubble throat. I'm going to swing back around and back up a little bit, and I'm going to take three more pot shots at that bone, because that's what I can see. All righty. I'm going to make him. I'm not going to get close to him, I'm going to back up a bit. Okay. Let's back up in the room. Right there.

Sure. Go over and take your tax. I keep going. Nothing fancy. Attack number one. That's 26 to hit. And that's, uh, nine points of piercing damage, five points of necrotic damage and two points of psychic damage? Uh, Vax. As you're looking across the room, you see the bone devil like, like, whar! And it rears back and its wings span out, looks like to leap, and as it takes a jump, you watch its face just explode forward with dark crimson mixed as the head is blown off its shoulders. Give me a big move, though. Get that grip back, get that grip back, get that grip back.

Better. And I'm gonna see if I can, is there anything, I'm just gonna try and... I've got two more shots. Mm-hmm. There's one creature in here that you can kind of barely see the side. Oh, I can? Yep. Oh, all right. Let's do that.

That's funny. Another shot at that guy. Poo-Pew Percet. Oh. 23? Red creatures on dark red. Yeah. Sorry. 23?

23 hits. Oh, and that's right. I don't have that anymore. It's the hexes until next term where I can move it. That's 15 points of damage plus one point of psychic damage. Okay. Still standing, but it's looking rough. It's currently blinded. You have advantage in these attacks, by the way, because it's blinded. Oh.

I'm gonna take another shot, and I'm gonna make this a sharpshooter just to end this. Sure. Yeah, that will do. It's 14.20. 25? Yep, go to all damage. That's, uh, I didn't know I had advantage. That's lovely. That's 18, 19, 20, and 21. 25 points of damage and four points of second damage.

So after the cage was flying over his head and clangs behind it, it kind of spins around as here's the impact and turns back in the direction of Tova. Even though its eyes are currently held shut from the blinding light of the sunbeam, it rears back with its hooked pole arm and is about to rush towards the torso of Tova, knowing and he be able to sense where she is. Right as it rears back, two shots, the second one knocking its head, limply across the back of its shoulders, and it tumbles to the ground and moving. You get another grip back.

Get another grip back. Get another grip back. Get another grip back. Grit back, get another grip back. Get that grip back, good back. Is that your turn person? That is, other than just backing up a little bit more as far as I can go, just to get out of the.

It's getting away from everything. Getting away from everything. Okay, perfect. I'm good at the distance. Okay, so this is on Udkosh's turn. Udhaj is going to strike with a bite against Tarian Darington. Frustratingly, it's going to be,

it has to make a wisdom save, doesn't it? It does. For that first attack, that's a natural 20. Oh my God! Better that than for the attack. Yeah, yeah. But that's what that first attack was a 18 to hit? Hits.

All righty. Oh my God. So you take, as it chomps down onto your torso, this time as opposed to going for the helmet. It goes for the side of the shoulder. Its mouth is large enough to go over your shoulder and come in both the chest and the back of the shoulder as it sinks in.

That is going to be 24 points of piercing damage. Oh no. And you're immune to poison, so you don't take that. You still standing? All righty. Well, crouching. Right. In the fetal position.

As it's clamped down on you, it takes its claw and rakes across your stomach. Oh, that. Technically, it has to rule another wisdom save. It does, you're right. It lasts for a minute. It's not for attack, actually. That is a 10 plus 10, that is 20.

He succeeds. Okay. So that is a, the attack roll for that one was a 21. Yes. So for the claw raking across your torso, that is going to be 21 points of slashing damage. Oh no, Terry. And with that, Tarian falls, unconscious and bleeding on the ground.

Terry Jumbo! Oudogosh, after like the claws tear across part of the plate armor kind of swing's open and the claw rakes through the side of the torso, leaving, you know, the wounds open and bleeding out on these, and steaming across the heavy heated stonework of the room. And at that point, do all of their necklaces glow? Do-doo. They do. They begin to pulse. That's totally correct.

What's going on? Oh, yeah. I forget what this means. Next. Someone's unconscious that we can't tell that they're unconscious. Oh, God. At this point, Ugash is going to use his, he's going to, the wings take flight at this point, so nothing's immediately in the circle and he's getting frustrated by this.

The wings pick him up in the air. He's going to peek through the top of the form and look over and he sees Tova and Kieleth. And he's going to land technically on your guy's spaces. spaces. I need, this is part of this corpulent form ability. I need you both to make dexterity saving throws. Oh, that's good. That's good. Thank you. That is an 18. It's not great. Saving dex. 14. All right. You both suffer 17 points in bludgeoning damage as Udugash's giant form lands on top of you.

You both are pinned to the ground. You are considered grappled and prone, as Udugosh is currently. Oh gosh, also maybe takes some damage from that. Yeah, well, it takes the same 17 points of damage from the mutual suffering. Yeah. Something. Yeah, that's awesome. So you're both prone and considered grappled.

You cannot move until you get out of the grapple. We're grappled? We're both grappled? Yeah, because he's basically sitting on top of you. Fucking dick. I need you to make a concentration, or a concentration saving care to maintain something. I have advantage on that.

You do. I'll take that 18. I just have to beat the damage, correct? You have to beat the, it's either 10 or half of the damage. I'm good. So you're fine. With you both pinned, you, at immediate visual perspective, look the most vulnerable to Utogash, as you are a tiny half-elf girl as far as he's concerned.

It's going to use his next two attacks, the axe and the tail, with advantage against you because you are currently not prone. Oh, dasu, dasu. The axe can be... That is 32 to hit. What? 32 to hit? I mean, yeah.

What are you doing concentration? My sunbeam. Oh, right. Oh, cool. So that's 23 points of slashing damage plus 23 points of fire damage.

So a total of 46. Can I use my reaction? to cast absorb elements? If you were prepared, yeah. Yes, I do. Which allows you to... Never done this before. Let me double check.

I capture some of the energy, and I store it, and I have resistance to the next damage type that I take that, and the first time I hit with a melee attack on my next term, I can do an extra 1-d6 of that damage type. that damage. So you take 11 points of fire damage instead. So it goes 23, 34 points of damage total. So another 11. I made at 82. Okay. I have to beat a 10, correct? No, you have to beat half of the 34, which would be 17. It's just to beat 17. Nope. Nope. Wait, what do I add? What do I add? Your constitution saving throw. Oh, no, no, no, I'm good then. I'm good. That's

Exactly a 17? Okay, and that's fine. Okay, thank God, oh my God. And then the tail is gonna slam down onto you as well, Kila, with advantage on that. Yeah, no, that's cool. 16, natural 20. What?

It's what? It's what? No. But wait, what did the next melee attack do to you? The next physical attack? It's my, me attacking. Oh, fuck. So this is, it's a nine, a 10, and a seven on 3D.

So that is 26. 62 points of bludgeoning damage. 60, wait, how? Havd. Halved. Is it half? Wait, what? No. It's not.

I just like saying that. It's 10, 9. It's 20, it was 52 points, because it was, there's a 10, a 9, and a 7. So 52 points? So it would have been 26, just the dice. Critt is 52 plus 10, 62. 62 points.

I mean, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still up. Yeah, that's good. With 20 hit points, no. It was at 82 minus 62. Well, doubles the dice damage. Which 3D10 means? 20 points. All righty.

So seeing as he landed on me, do I, can I do anything here? Any reaction? Do you have a reaction to do? I don't know. No, not really. You're just kind of, you're being sat on by the pit fiend. Even if I was like upright, could I feel like a pin cushion to sit on? You're holding it off, but his heavy hide against your pin cushion, like nails is not going to do much unless you're physically attacking behind it.

Icecicles. I know, and he's resistant to cold, sorry. About a check. He's resistant to everything. Vax. All right, well, my enemy is gone. Percival just shot it through the face, so I start to fly towards the entrance.

The moment I come through and I see Keeleth mangled on the ground underneath, I just react and fly straight at the thing and snag onto his chest like an angry, pissed-off cat, and I just start slicing. Okay, go for it. I'm actually going to bonus action hunt As I land, I'm going to move the hunter's mark, excuse me, from the slain. Okay.

Yep, and I'm okay. Here we go. That is shit. No, oh, it's 16, I'm sure it doesn't it. 16 does not hit that. Okay. That is 19. 19 does not hit either. Both angry strikes just hit the hide, but it's too strong.

The devilish scales deflecting the piercing blows. I'm going to stay hanging on. Okay. Vex, you're up. Okay. Hey, I can see him now. You can. Okay. It's also sitting currently on Tova and Keyleth.

Keelth is looking pretty banged up. Tova was looking pretty banged up, and your brother is hacking at it to no avail. Just slicing away. I don't know what all I could see of that, other than just the pit fiends, like, arm through the window. But I'm going to back up and shoot him. I'm going to hunter's mark him first, though.

Okay. And I'm going to, yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Okay. As you step into this room, as you back up, he does get a reaction to attack on opportunity because he has a reach. Through the window? Yeah.

So as you back up, the tail swings, after smashing Achilles, goes, who and his whips through the window towards you. That's a dick. That's gonna be a 25 to hit. Yeah, sure, whatever. Don't care for this guy. That is 11, 21 points of bludgeoning damage against you. Great.

The tail almost sends you off your feet and almost knocking the wind out of you from the impact to your chest and stomach area, but you slide and catch yourself before tumbling backward. You hunt his mother. What do you have a hundredth? Well, you know. I think this is gonna be a negative, but a quick clarification question. With them on the ground,

then there's no like flanking bonus or anything. Nope, they are not threatening him, correct. That's what I thought. They're threatening the bottom of his feet. Right. To be getting that bonus. Tickle. They're currently under his rope.

The first one is a one. Yay. The impact from the chest below ends up as you go to grab the arrow, you're already kind of a little off aim from the wooziness. Alright, that's fine. I'm going to hit him again, Dower try.

That is, I can add 23. 23 hits? Yes. Okay, okay. Yes. 18 plus one lightning damage plus 2D6. Here we go, and two ones. I'm rising.

This is rolling, great. Woo! Have some dice? All of these, all of you guys are goodbyes. And you're a goodbye too. You can stay. All right, so, how much damage to the total? Huh? How much was that?

Yeah. Oh, uh... 19 total. One of those was a lightning damage. Okay, good. So the second art does hit, and you're seeing now, Udugash, while looming over and seemingly impervious at a close view as you get a glance back and you get a glance back and you up, it was looking pretty hurt. Previously, as is now your second time battling at Pitfiend,

you're able to see the faint cracks that you're beginning to notice generally show a lot more damage than they do on a surface. So you're starting to see signs of wear, which based on your previous battle, leads you to believe it's actually pretty hurt. Okay. That ends your turn, Vex? And Vex. I'm going to back up. I can use the rest of my movement, right? You can, yeah. and back up around that corner, so I'm like parallel with Percy there. Yeah, right there. Okay, cool. That brings this to Terrian.

I need you to roll a debt saving throw. Oh, sure, yeah. Can I feel lucky? You can, technically. Oh, that's worse. Oh, wow. So that's one failed death saving throw on, Terri. Terry.

All right. I just have a quick question, since I don't, I haven't used this very much. The disengage fee that the rogues have, is that a bonus action? Is that a bonus action, disengage, yeah. Just checking. Yeah.

You'd already moved your hunter's mark, unfortunately. But going forward to you did. All right, so. Is this a zigzag motion? Serpentine. Now. Now what? Oh.

Don't press any more buttons. Two imps that were previously invisible in the room and hitting the various buttons across the back wall at his command. Oh, it was those guys. Up here and both fly down, swinging towards Keeleth, who's currently pinned underneath and are just beginning to start attempting to bite at her. So, or these are the sting.

So with advantage, it is six plus five, that is 11. The first one, the stinger hits you, and just can't pierce the armor. The second one is gonna go ahead, and with advantage, that is a 13. Just can't pierce the armor. Little inch, like, I know what a gosh,

she's like, I have hungry carrying rights. That brings us to Keelis. Okay, okay. Time to go big. I am going to cast shape change. My night level is male. And I am going to turn into a fire giant. Oh.

A fire giant? Yeah. So as I'm down, I just, I just, I is lying. and I started to turn into a giant, and I just want to reach up and grab them by the throat and try and stand up and see if I can pile drive him. Okay. Go ahead and roll your attack for your fire giant. I'm going for a ride. Are you like...

Look at that. I'm going to his chest. Are you super strong? Yeah, I am too. I get plus 11. Is this like plus 11 just to my attacks? Everyone else gets pushed out of the way. So yes.

Natural 20. Oh, wow. Boom! That is awesome. That is awesome. Clash of the tightness. Got made up for all the rest of the time. Yeah.

Oh, God. So Tova and the Imskit pushed aside as Keelis' form suddenly encompasses most of the corner of the room. So natural 20, you grab Udhaas by the throat, grab the torso, lift him up, and slam him onto the ground. go ahead and roll just the basic damage for the Firelandtile Mental's attack. Oh God.

It does not come prone, but this is the flavor for the attack. How do you know what basic damage is? Look for the attack for the fire giant. Well, it just gives me multi-attack. And underneath that, it says. And it gives me a great sword melee attack. Just roll the damage for the great sword. We're basically the attack is the flavor of the strike.

It's 6D6 plus 7. 6d6. 1, 2, 3, 4, you more. I think it's yours on anyone. Oh, and some murals. I'm on this guy's chest, by the way, and he goes down and it's only landing around. I love what you do!

Let's get dragged over. And I want a somersault away. All righty. 10, 16, 20, 4 damage. How much did you roll? 24. 24, that was with the doubled? Oh, right.

So doubled that. That. So 48. 48 damage. Plus seven because of the. Plus seven. Yeah. Yeah. So that is 55.

55 points of damage. Nice. Hello. God. I just say it. I want to hear you say it. No. Well, it's not there yet.

No. Technically, your action was to cast the spell. So you wouldn't have the ability to attack the same round, but I'm letting you do it because why not? You burn your. Because it's fun. Well, I didn't move. It's fine.

And we'll say you can't move this turn. But it was fine, that's cool, why not? All right, so, that ends your turn, Kiela? Yeah. All right. Tova. All right. Let's just go all out here.

I'm gonna cast... It's looking really rough, by the way. Blood curse of the marked on Udegas. I'm gonna amplify it. All righty. More damage for me. and then I'm gonna slide in under this Fire Giant's legs and just go for it with my claws and the crimson rate.

Alrighty, so at half minutes, five, 10, 15, 20, you can just get into combat range right there, knocking Vax over and killing him. All right, so that's a 28 to hit on one. That hits. That is a 24 to hit on the second. That hits. That does so much better.

better. All right, so that's a, that's a, that is a 11. That is a 13. And I'm going to get two more, yeah. With my, with my mouth, with my right. The clause, you do 2D8, and because you, and these are doubled because you did your mark. Okay. So what did you roll? Seven, seven for the 2D8. And then what would I say, 13 and 11 the first time? Yes. Yeah. So it's 1311 for the actual weapon damage, for the claws. And then now would you roll for the first?

Seven together. Seven together? So that's 14. Mm-hmm. How do you want to do this? Two guests in a row. Yes! Yeah, all right.

So how do you want to do that? As you watch the fire giant, like clutching by the throat, slamming onto the ground, who do gosh, is like, in this sort of like wrestling ring encounter in the center of the room. Just gonna fucking body slam him with my bare body. I'm just gonna hit him with both my claws. I'm gonna tear his fucking throat out. And I'm gonna look down at him. I'm gonna be like, how do you like me now?

Asshole. So, Helet, in the impressive moment of slamming Udougash down, the grip you have on the throat is loosened suddenly as a secondary force, pushes Udhaush out of your grip. What looks to be a bowling ball of a fur-like bear form goes slamming into the torso of the devil, who then falls onto the back as the bear just begins, wolvering, berserker barraging, tearing through the chest in torso cavity of the devil. Drops the axe and is trying to reach up and is clanging at your back and tearing through flesh. You can feel the blood, but you're too focused

at this point, the frenzy kicking in from your transformation. And as you stare down and say that into his face, Udougegosh's tongue is kind of lulling back across the tusk and says, We'll still find you. And just goes limp across the ground. As I stand up and I look at grog and in giant I say, soap. So player. Who's so, man?

Damn, we're talking about Lindo. Yeah. I'm gonna spit on him. Okay. While I'm still standing and then I'm just gonna flop on my back, turn back into a Dorf, be like, Hey, you guys want to get a beer? Aren't there still two?

There are two imps in the chamber, but they both turn invisible. As soon as this happens. And they're attempting to escape as the flame wall disappears, and you see Terrian bleeding out on the ground. Oh, shit. Oh, I learned. Land and lay on hands. Okay, you're close enough to do so.

Okay. I'll give him an o. I'll give him ten. Okay. Maybe we just toss them in the blood. Just dip him. So how much you give him? 10. So you have 10 hit points and you come to consciousness.

Oh. I had the craziest dreams. Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap. Are you all right? Are you really all right? Are you having fun? Did I kill it? Stone cold dead you did.

Congratulations. I will say, Keelith. Because technically they were in melee range with you since you pushed them out of the way. As they vanish, you do get one attack opportunity, across them with disadvantage. Oh, with my soul. Do you still a little fire drain for him?

Yes, you are. That's cool. Okay. With disadvantage. On both of them? On just one of them. Just one. Just one.

Oh. Eight plus 11, so that's 20. 19. That's still hits. Go ahead and roll damage. Yeah. That's 30. I'm out of here.

76 plus six, one, two. You know what, don't roll damage. Because even if you rolled all ones, it's just enough to kill it. That's 13 hit points. So as they both vanish and you hear the flapping of wings, wings. You just do one kind of wide Hail Mary arc with your fist, and one inch just gets spattered across the back of your knuckles. But the other are you here? Fly off.

I imagine he's going to tell the others. Oh, the shape change. So many weird things. If I have a moment, I'm going to look into all those doors really quickly. I'm going to run over to person and give him a kiss and say nice shit and stuff. and I'm gonna help him look. Okay, I was gonna take that, I'm gonna wait one second not to look in those. Well, that happens in that. Yeah.

In fear, I stand up and throw my lance at the fire giant. Roll an attack. That's fair. That's 14. What's your AC? 18. The lance just ricochets off of your chest. Dude, how are you seeing this?

Are you all seeing? That's the tempest, that's the tempest man. That's Kiki. That's Keeky. Hi, Terry. I'm atlers. Good day to you, miss. I've misjudged you again. Face bump. I shout to the window. Lute the body!

And I keep looking at things with Percy. Okay, as you glance through the various openings, there are a bunch of cells. Some of them are empty, some contain long, dead rotting corpses. The first room that you go into contains a fair amount of gold. that it's just stashed. We pull it. This small stash here is about 12,300 gold pieces. Whoa.

Yeah, I'm putting that in the stash. You also find your equipment. You find your mall and your armor. 12,300. To meet that. To meet that. You have that at your disposal now. I go over and I'm really happy to put my armor back on

over my cool bear bikini that I have on. Your herkinini. As you're putting your armor on, you open the far door on this, and as you do, suddenly bursting through is a lemurray. It comes towards you with its horrible fleshy mound just reaching out in your direction. I threaten it down and say, run, and oh orthax your freedom. As he does that, I say, run. Rowan intimidation check.

Oh yeah, can I use friends to help with that or no, just go for intimidation? If you want to. Yeah, I'll use friends to add to that intimidation. So does that advantage? Yes. All right. That's on the side, that's cocked. That's fine anyway.

That's, okay, yeah. Intimidation is, uh, eight. As you say, Ruh. And you see the whole, the Murray goes, I shoot my gun next to it. I shoot an arrow into it. It's actually going to reach out and strike at you. Then the arrow strike comes right afterward.

Vax Dagon's on T'Keele's shoulder and watches all this through the window. It misses. His hand just kind of slaps against the front of your armor and then pull your attack. This is a great confrontation. 21. That hits. Go and roll damage. This is weird. Good weird, but it's weird.

18? The arrow through his head, and it just immediately falls to the ground and slowly turns the slush. I don't know. He should have listened. I really... You were very clear, dear. What's in the other room? The rest of the chambers here you find most of it is a collection of rotting meats.

You find... Yes. You find various sulfurous chemicals, some that you can't really buy scent and texture identify. Sorry. If there's anything interesting. Okay. So we'll say that you have a handful of chemicals that you may be able to look into later. Five vials, specifically.

Anything on the body? On the giant? On the Udugash? There's the axe that Udugash had, which is a very, very large, like black, metal. heated axe. Can I see that piece? That's cool. Can I pick him up by his ankles and like, you know,

school yard bully style, shake him out from his feet, upside down? For pocket change? For pocket change? For milk change? Even for your giant strength, you're like, he's a very rotund pit fiend. And the kind of red, scale, leathery blubber that it moves around. There wasn't much that he was carrying on him.

Most pit fiends, or at least devilish creatures, have their, of his stature, don't keep his belongings hidden anywhere on himself. They're visible. That's a pretty big meat bowl. Some spicy meatbone. Does the axe, ugh. Does it do anything when I hold it? It's roughly twice the size of any axe you've held, and is too large for you to use. Oh. How is that impossible?

I really think that's a matter of perspective. Would you like me to identify the option? Yeah. All right. Weakly limps over. I'll take a look at it. Okay. It's a, it's referred as a black iron acts of corruption.

It's used primarily as a means of intimidating and scaring off lessors and keeping subordinates in line. With magic or just with size? Both. It's a minor enchantment. It's the enchantment of it. You get the essence as you look at it. The power of it was part of the presence of the Pitfiend. The real ability. So yeah. This is not considered a very powerful, magical item.

It was only powerful in the hands of a pit fiend. I take it. Can I put it in the pool of blood? Yeah. You like dissolved it? No, but like the heat of it just naturally being in the space, you kind of like steams as it goes into it. That's a deep pool, you guys. Like seriously, drowning warning, okay? So wait, who are you guys again?

I'm gonna pop shrink it out of the necklace and pass care wounds on it. Why are you here? Tax collectors. We were running, let's just say, we had a grudge. a grudge and we took care of it. All right, works for me. What about you? Where are you from?

I came here with friends. I don't know if they're still alive. The ones, well, most of them are dead. So I don't know if the other two are still alive, but they're in prison. I gotta rest up, I gotta get back and find him. Are they like you? What do you mean like me?

I mean like, ra, you know? Like bears? They're not bears. Oh. Wait, they're in the prison. Yeah. Do you know, I shape change back to Keeleth for a second. Do you know which section of the prison there are? I guess the same one I was in, yeah?

Yeah, yeah. I know roughly, I was in the prison too. to Utagash, he bought me. He was gonna, I guess, corrupt my soul or whatever, but I could love with that, dude. Wait, does the bastion of flesh sound familiar? Does it? You haven't heard the term? You weren't given a lot of information. Most of your presence, once you were captured, was just being dragged through hallways, tortured, chained up, and then eventually purchased and brought here to be perpetually tortured by Udhaush until these guys found you. Honestly, I have no idea what's going on still. It's been a hard time in hell. It doesn't sound familiar, but I guess I know where my friends might be. I got to get back and see if they're still alive, if they're still in there.

As she's saying, this trinket goes and grabs some of the rotting meat out of one of those and brings it to her as a present. Aw. I accept it. Thanks, buddy. Just kind of bigs you a big lick on the side of the face. All right. Are you still a bear?

I'm a Dorf again. Oh, damn it. Oh, you've got to hand it over here now. Thanks. All yours, pal. Is it like really rotten? It's on part with what you ate before. We are.

Oh, Scott. Would you know your way around if you went back to the prison? I mean, do you think you'd know your way through the holes? I think so. I think I'd be able to, with my bear smell. I think I could find my way back at least to where my friends were. Yeah, I can't leave him in there.

If they're still in there, I have no idea, but I came here to help my friend. He's, you made a contract with the devil, and we came here to try and get him out of it. Terrible idea. I all, always. You shouldn't do that. No, I don't know what you're talking about Terry.

No, we didn't. No, no idea. No, no idea. No, no idea. No. Don't. Bad idea. If the little ones get away, do we want to turn this into a walk-in talk? Yeah, maybe she can ask you.

Well, okay, hang on. What happens next? Because aren't we supposed to kind of be arrested next? Yeah, but we could check out the place. Let's take a walk around, why don't we? Can we check the rest of the room first before we leave? Yeah, okay. But like, being very careful for traps because they are present here. Not me necessarily. Mr. Grogue, you're just taking a point?

Yep. Okay. Graggy, you entered this chamber and it kind of opens up into this candelab. Candelabra area as you pass this area. Oh, I fly after Grog. I need you to make a dexterity. Same in through it, bro. Oh, gosh.

15. You take a few steps, and then one of the stone slabs beneath you, a glyph, a glyph suddenly brightly shines with a strange pinkish orange glow, and then you guys watches a column of somewhat translucent ethereal energy just shoots up engulfing Grog. Grog. What are you fucking doing? Whoa.

You suffer 21 points of psychic damage. Ah! I'm too smart again. I fly in alongside you. You know, all you have to do is ask. Hold still and give me 10 seconds, and I'll check the rest of the room just in just in case. Ew.

What is that? This is another one of the boiling blood chambers you saw earlier. Oh. Okay. I'm just going to check for traps. I want to speak as much as the next to speak as the next to the next one. next person, but this is kind of over. This is a lot.

This is a lot. 30? Okay, as you scan through the room, you do notice, on the inside of each one of these pillars is another one of the similar platform, is the one that Grog triggered, and the one that he triggered here, they're about two in width.

There's spots on the ground? Yeah, there's like this whole area here, in this area, and there's one here, and all these can be triggered. Oh, I always stay over there. Do I see anything of value or anything else in the room besides the traps? Nope, but what you do notice, in fact,

you and Vex and Keeleth, who have the highest passive perception, you hear from the ceiling above you, what sounds like multiple entities landing on the roof. Oh, fuck. All right, we got an answer. This is definitely what we talked about. Hey, did I see anything that look like guards

that wore like the armor, the gold armor of the... Not in the interior here now. Yeah, but no, throughout the city. From where you are right now? Just in general, since I've been in. in hell. Yeah, of course. What are they?

You've seen the different types. You've seen a couple that have been imps. You've seen a few that have been winged humanoid entities. Were there any ariennuses or succubuses that were also like guards that would be one of these people? You didn't see any of that specifically. You're going to be okay. We were expecting this. Yeah.

I know, but I could still be like a guard and follow you guys there. You know? Then I'm someone on the outside. and not in prison as maybe like a first responder. I don't know. I think you're over thinking of this. I don't know, Key. It's a big prison.

I think you're going to be very far away from us very quickly. If I say, hey, I found these guys and I walk with you guys all the way to the prison. A hatch from the ceiling in this chamber in here kicks open in about a dozen entities dropping in, some winged, others, like spined, similar bearded devils. some of them wearing the golden armor of the whispers you've seen throughout the city, it seems that the guard have been called to the assault on the stronghold.

I get Trinket back in the necklace really fast. Okay, drink it's in the necklace. Was everyone else doing? I kind of want to, like, can I stealth? Can I turn into one of the impish creatures in gold armor? Sure, yeah, okay. So you turn into it in. Have they seen me yet? You don't create equipment, so you would be an imp, you'd have to put on gold armor to... I don't have a gold armor. Yeah, so you'd just be an imp. Never mind.

It's fine, I'll just be myself for right now. Okay, so you remain as human half-alfourning. All right. What was everyone else doing? I drank a healing draft, and I am getting my lance ready, and I'm staying with fucking Doty. And which is the trap door opened, and the one that back to Grog was here.

So Grog was kind of waiting over to the side, Grog. These entities landed, landed near you. They just kind of, about a dozen of them, just swarm into the chamber near you. Back, so you're over here on this side as you're kind of bringing out the traps in this area in the center, so they happen kind of behind you in this area. Okay.

You shouldn't be breaking him. I'm not leaving him. I'm just going to walk towards Grog. Okay. I'm going to join him. So you join up the Grog here. I'm going to cast cure wounds on myself really fast. Okay, we'll say for the purposes of the the swaming of entities in this chamber.

So who's all been seen? That's a lot. We got this. Are we all in there? Who's in there? Are you guys all going to join? You're staying with Doty. I'm staying.

All right, Percival. I'm not gonna try to see if I can try to start fixing him. Okay. You need a workshop materials to do it. Okay. Well, then I won't do it. I'm going to sit with Doty. I'm gonna stay in the room. I'm just gonna be,

Sitting on Doty, probably. Okay. Are those like bone demony guys? Bone demons and arenas enters. Ernie's. Bearded Devils, Cambians. Like a whole swarm comes in here. I'll turn into one of the bone devils.

A chain devil. I'll turn into a bone devil. Okay, so you turn into a bone devil form. Why? For game, man. At this point, they kind of swarm the room. They have their weapons ready. They see you guys standing there and not making

aggressive maneuver. The tomb bone devils that land within the chamber, they seem to be wearing some sort of a sash that has like a torn bottom portion of it and some sort of symbol that is holding it together over the shoulder. It looks around. Do you resist or do you surrender? I'm taking my cues from you here. I can't say it. You got to say it. I surrender and he he's coming along. I will have Except this as Universal surrender, puts his arms up, and you watch as a number of these individuals begin pulling heavy chain manacles out from sacks and satchels.

Two of them immediately charge up and begin shackling, grog, multiple layers of chain and manacle across your arms and legs in. They shackle you up and begin to spread into the next room, gathering to the rest of you guys, and they charge in and begin just like throat, like a throat, to arms to ankles, each with somewhat slack chains and has a specific lead chain attached

to the center of the whole ensemble. They go from person to person. They throw them on you, though you kind of angrily give in to it. Kieleth, as you approach, one of them turns to you and goes, he rostimals to my slagery. Make a deception. Just fucking hell. With disadvantage.

Just try and parcel talk. How are that language? Did you say you want to go to the disco with me? Eight total. I'm flattered, but. Leans in real close to you. I kind of like give a little bit of twitch, like maybe I'm the damaged bone devil.

Liar! The wings up behind it as it kind of points its finger at you, and a bunch of the doubles kind of begin to swarm in from the sides the various pull arms and jagged weapons pointed in your direction. Move here thyself. Oh, God. Okay, I dropped form. Tackler, twice over.

And you are, of everyone, you and Grog both get the Hannibal Lecter treatment. As you're standing there with your spear out, they all begin to swim around you, Tarian. I say, oh no, whatever will we do, we have this enormous piece of equipment equipment that you don't understand and could possibly be very dangerous. It probably should be locked up with the rest of us. Oh no. Oh no. They don't seem to be paying any mind. They throw the manacles on you. They subdue you very quickly. With a swift hit to the back of your shoulders, your sense of bravado is immediately crumbled. They

throw you to the ground and chain you up. You're all then chained together and brought to your feet as one of the bone devil's approaches. You are found in the preceding stages of usurpation, of a trusted of despotor, and are sentenced to moral reassignment and delivery, you are forfeit, teary. Grabbs the chains and tugs, and you guys all begin to be pulled out

and then up through the hatch in this chamber. Through multitudes of devilish arms, pulling you up through the ceiling. This is good plan. Good plan. It's going to go right. It's actually working better than I expected. You glance over your shoulder and watch as a series of divils have now leapt onto Doty and are pulling it apart. Oh, no.

It's going to be fine. This is the part where C3PO is being pulled apart by that. Oh, no, I don't think it's. It's going to be fun. They served his purpose. No. And that's where we're going to take a break. Oh, no.

It's been fine. You've read your bedtime stories. Oh, shit. We're back here. We're taking a short break here. They're going to show a few ads in the Signal Boost episode that Marisha just put out. We'll continue this story here in just a few minutes, guys. See a moment.

Oh, Joe! Oh, Joe! Poor mess! Welcome back. Hopefully the audio is better for some folks. Thank you for being patient. We have a winner in the Wormwood contest we had in the chat room, Alchemist Killer. Wins this awesome set of Zeberwood, Dice Box, Dice Tray, and the dice roll.

So congratulations to you, buddy. This will be coming on your way real soon, signed by the cast, a critical role. Chia! Now, Killer Queen. Diving back into where we were, folks, you guys are yanked out onto the streets

of the Iron City of Diss, pulled off of the roof of Udgosh's personal stronghold, and yanked across the heated cobblestones, having to keep through what strength you have standing for fear of being dragged across the extremely hot floor. As you were brought through, people begin to gather up on the sides of the street. You begin to see other devils gathering towards the edges, and every maybe 10 minutes of walking,

when there's a crowd gathered around, some of the devils would go ahead and crack one of you in the back of the knee and kind of give off a showing of ownership and a general sense of cheer emerges with each person that gets smacked in the back of the head or thrusts. down, Percival, you get one point hit along the side of the jaw and you feel like the blood kind of fill the side of your mouth as you kind of wish you could rub it with your hand, though the way the chains are pulling prevent you from raising your arm too high. You're the hissing and occasional rocks being thrown from the distance as you pulled through. I want Vex and Vax. Go ahead and roll perception checks, please. 27.

31. Okay. Vex, as this is happening and you watch Percival recoil from the impact, you glance with a bit of a sneer towards the crowd, and you watch amongst all these various toothy hissing devils. You see one familiar red-skinned man with longish dark hair, horns curled up. As his eyes meet yours, he gives you a smile, and just steps back into the crowd as it closes around him. I breathe a little easier. Bits of filth are being chucked, groggy one. Not quite sure what form of refuse this is, but it smears and drips on the side of your face. Can I get stuck in your beard? Gross. Make an ex-dirty check.

17. You catch it in your mouth. Can it just filthy? You don't even know what it is. You regret the impulse immediately. This goes on for about 15. for about 15 minutes. As you guys are pulled through, you watch as nearby whispers begin to stop and perch on the edge of buildings to watch. You get the

sense that what you guys have done has drawn some attention. As you reach the end of this 15-minute period, you're pulled down a large road and the buildings begin to grow a little thin in this area and you're brought to what looks to be a very, very, heavy set of doors, this crimson gate that is humongous, 20 feet by 10 foot for each side of the gate, so 40 feet across. It leans in an angle, like a gargantuan cellar door that just sits on its own in the center. And as you begin to approach, you hear chains suddenly, and the doors begin to slowly open with a creaking noise as you're brought towards it. They open and you can see inside it is lightless. It is dark. And the two bone devils just tug even further. And with each tug the chains that

connect you all kind of choke and pull you forward. You nearly stumble again as you're brought over the stairway lip and down into this darkened chamber below. You are brought down seemingly endless set of stairs. The darkness only occasionally broken by the passing faintly red-glowing scots that just passes by as you're brought down. You hear the various mutterings of various infernal phrases being spoken and chuckled between the various devils that speak in your vicinity. You then come to a leveling point where the stairs come to an end and the light opens up a little bit in this area. Still dim the reddish glow that occasionally gives you a glimpse of the interior. You can see this, you can only imagine would be what a prison in hell would

looks like. The metal and stone walls are warped and misshapen in places, like they're almost buckling under the weight of the very plane that it's holding. You can see what looks to be almost like stone arms either carved out of the walls or have been jammed into it as part of the decor. And you see giant metal hooks that occasionally eject out the side, some of them with the remains of some sort of prisoner or meat that has been hung and left to slowly rot. More of those small devilish insects you encountered when you first arrived or gathering and feasting on the edges of these remnants. You begin to hear various echoes of screams from some distant place within this labyrinthine series of hallways that have bounced

through enough walls to the point where it's just this constant ringing gasp, occasionally mixed with this high-pitched wine, this wailing and this sound of horrible torture. It's very familiar to you, Tova. You can't even, you have no idea how long you were here before, and it seems endless in hindsight. It could have been days, weeks, months, you don't recall. The air itself is extremely hot, stagnant,

and humid with sweat. It has that subterranean putrescence to it. The idea that mold and mold and, and suffering kind of just pervades the atmosphere. And as you're carted through these hallways, your turn right, left, forward, past multiple intersections. More devils pass by. You see another erinus kind of step by

with three other minions to her sides, and she kind of hisses as you walk past. Hey! You are brought past so many different pathways that it begins to all blend. You're trying to pay attention, remember which way came, but sometimes the turns almost go so fast. It causes you to lose track of where you originally started. And you get the essence that not only is this a massive prison,

but it's designed to keep anyone from finding their way back out. You turn one corner as you hear a series of very high intensity screams that cut through the relative din in the background. And as you turn, you see three people, two humans and one male half elf that are naked and strung up by chains and front of what looks at like a large forge. You see there a 12-foot-tall horned devil with his wings kind of folded up over his shoulders, these giant crested horns off the front of his skull, very Tim Curry Legend style, who's currently heating this long brand in the forge as he's glaring at them, and as you all walk past, his eyes catch yours, and he kind of gives you a nod. As he sears it

in the body of the half-out, this begins to quiver and scream against the chains. but he just gives you the rest of the head nod as you pass across the door, not seeing them any further. Now, you can't do this. You can't go in that. You hear, as you leave past the doorway, you hear a voice echo from the chamber you just passed. I'll see you soon enough.

You brought down another twisting series of intersecting halls, the smell growing more and more rancid, the further in you go. You see three chain devils wander past. These roving jailers just dragging broken bodies behind them and manacles similar to yours. You see trails of blood just streaking across that are slowly turning dry and thick with caked drying blood, some bits turning into mist across the hot stonework of the interior of the prison. A twitch of one of the legs reveals that these bodies are still living, though by about

an inch of their life. A few errant chains that drift and drag behind them creepily caress the arm and face of Terry, and as you pass, just across your cheek. One of them scratches you with a hook at the tip. You fall unconscious. I don't like that. Throw up falling conscious. As we're walking, I'm gonna whisper to Percy,

are they gonna take all of stuff? To be fine. I can't do anything without my stuff. It's going to be fine. Your weapons have been gathered, and they have been taken from you. Everything? Armored, helmets.

You have your armor on you still. Oh, thank God. Your helmet is not currently on you. That's been taken off of you, but your weapons have been taken from you because you can't hold your weapons in your chains. That's a break of contract. Not yet.

All right. So further still, you're finally brought within this 30 foot by 20 foot room bisected by a series of thick metal bars that open into a cell. A single towering chain devil sits within, large than any you've encountered. The broad shoulders,

are almost as wide as grogues, and the head is so deeply set within the neck that it almost gives a profile from shoulder to shoulder of a square. And across, nice. No, no, fucking this asshole. The chains all begin to slacken as you enter and the arms reach out, almost in a graceful invitation.

You hear his horrible voice slither out from the mask of black metal that covers everything but is deep, red burning, beady eyes. Good. Stirring them up. As the devil entourage that has pulled you through this prison brings you into the cell. One by one, they take your manacles and latch them onto a thick, heavy metal chain. As they pull, it pulls your arms up above your body, and your leg manacles are attached to similar rings on the ground. One by one, you are all placed within this chamber, chained up, helpless.

The gates, all the rest of the devils that brought you in here, exit the cell and leave through the hallway, leaving the chained devil to do his duty. He approaches the bars as he closes the entranceway to the cell, so he's on the other side of the cell from all of you, just strung up in there, and he's kind of pressed up against the bars on the other side, his hands clutching them as he's staring. Hears across you, his eyes slowly scanning. He, as he kind of moves his hands down the bars, the chains go limp and unfurl around parts of his arms and make into snake and slither across the ground. A dozen of them or so, just slowly

creeping like tendrils of living entities towards all of you. As he says, you seem weary. Let's loosen your load. As the chains begin to snake their way up each one of your body, bodies, Grog, you feel one come up under your torso and under the gauntlets and begin to loosen the gauntlets on your arm from underneath. Vex. You feel as one kind of curls up, spirals around your leg and finds its way up under your armor, and eventually finds the buckles in the back and begins to undo the armor. All of you find the chains are all beginning to...

I saw this movie. Beginning to infiltrate and remove the various bits of equipment that you all came into this area on. A voice rings out from across the chamber in the darkness. He goes, Cricks, you are needed by overseers, you shot for prisoner enumeration and status. At which point the chains stop,

and the chain devil kind of is his fingers tense against the bars. The chains begin to slack and pull back from your bodies and retract back to me. backed him in the chamber. You now see behind him stepping in a small green devil with long knife-like ears, cut in a series of long spines across his body. Similar, though a thicker version

of the merchant that you saw earlier in your journey here. This one carrying the same satchel, or the same sash that you saw the bone devils that originally arrived, had a dorn on their chest. It does actually carry a satchel to one side. And as the jailer pulls the chains back to his body, he snarls and turns back to this barb devil who winces and kind of recoils as soon as the chain devil turns, already taking a submissive stance after making his announcement within the chamber. The chain devil's, I do despise such droll work.

Turns back to all the rest of you. I will return lovelies. The chains shh-h-retract back into his body. and he walks out of the chamber past the barbed devil kind of like shoulder checking it in the way through, kind of steps to the side. And as it leaves, you're all still there, chained up. The green devil kind of waits, kind of rubbing his shoulder. No bad. Comes forward kind of sheepishly, looking at all of you in silence, breathing heavily, kind of rubbing his chin, takes its satchel. And you can see it has this kind of hefty satchel on the side that's filled with a series of side pockets and small openings. This begins to pry them open. It begins to produce each one of your weapons.

And it's pulling them out quickly and throwing them into a pile on the outside of the bars. Pulled out your packs. The various things that were taken from you have all been put within the satchel and is quickly throwing them into a pile on the other side of the bars from all of you. Throws them onto the ground, finishes in this big mass.

He goes, There, I'm unspoiled, unharmed. And the creature walks up to the bars and clutches the side staring at you. You see, Coltis, yes. He is under the ceiling of Iskath. Though Iskath is not in Manthiri this day, you must leave this room,

turn right, left, straight, straight, left, straight, left, straight, then right. The iron door with a fanged grin bears the mark. There lies your quarry. Now, my debt is paid. Goodbye. and the devil turns around him against around out of the chamber. Shit, I missed the last thing that he said.

I got right, left, straight, straights. I got all of the directions, but I didn't hear the very last thing that he said. Oh, you got all. The door of the grin. Door with a grin. Door with the fain grinned. Door with the fain grinned. What was it?

Right, left, straight, left, straight, right. Oh, wait, I got right, left, straight, left, right. That's what I have said. Okay, right left. Yeah, right, left, straight, right left, straight, right, right, right, right, right. Love is two prostrates went right. We'll find out. That's one with the pestil.

We've got the right right. But the devil just leaves. And we're still throwing out. You're all still strung up? I didn't get my phone call! I'm going to try to start doing something. I want to try to lockpick too. You're too bastard.

Under the one. Your lock pick was taking with your equipment, unless you were hiding one, which you would have to specify. Oh, that one in my Easter. Okay, okay, how about this? She just break out for a lot? Okay, wait, wait, wait.

I'm gonna pop Trinket out of the necklace. Oh. Wait, do we have a necklace? It wouldn't have taken it. The necklace was not taken off. It was just your satchel equipment and your armor. I got it in the necklace and I can drink it, get out. Trenk it.

Emerges. Bless you. Thank you. What did you tell? I know. Drink it. Get us out of it. Buddy.

Hey, hey, hey. Okay, here's the thing. Can you go over. Do you go over and get anything out from between those two bars on the outside of the room? Who comes up to the bars and it kind of leans into them. Full of a pack in, buddy. There's like marking a claw across the ground. It's about a good foot away from the equipment. And it's like you'd see now smoking and dry.

You know! Yes! You're dead for a ducking dead! How do you want to do this? How do you want to do this? It's five experience to same Rio. Carrient Denton. Five experience.

That was that 20% You can see the fur is beginning to send off smoke and burn against the bar, and she gets leaning against them. Back away, back away, back away. Dick, maybe you can just try to break through these mandacles. Can you do that? When reaches up and grabs them around your ankle and tugs in it, you see it,

begin to singe to the outside of his tongue. And it's pulling. Make a strength check. Okay. Uh, 17? 17. The chain of one of your ankles begins to bend. It's not quite.

quite, doesn't fully break, but you can see that it's getting some headway. I want to pull my leg at the same time and see if I can help him out at all. You make a strength trick as well. I should have had him do this to grug. Okay. I suck that strength tricks.

Okay, blend that. 15. 15? Okay. Between both Trinket and you pulling, you do manage to get one of the chains to and you get one ankle free. Great, I have an ankle free. Hey guys.

Guess what? My ankle's free. Are you lucky? I am really flexible. This does nothing. It's into my hand. Can you make a thorn, something long and thin? Oh yeah, Kaileth. What can you do? I mean, I could have probably also

B shape out of this if I really wanted to. What the fuck, do you really want to? Well, you know, I was kind of just waiting to see what her was. How about you doing? Let's talk about doing. Okay. Floop.

And I be shaped into like a rat. Okay. Can't you do that to all of us? Technically, yeah. And then I shape back to Keyleth. Okay. She's amazing. Okay.

And then... Keys right there on the other side or something? They're about maybe three and a half feet from the end of the bars. I'm going to do a thorn whip... Thorn whip them to me? To... To your equipment, do you mean? Wait.

Sorry, you said there's no keys to the door. to the door. Oh, sorry. There's just a pile of you guys quickly. I said, I'm just get my lock picks. Yeah, just get the lock picks. Which are in the satchel on the other side of the... Yeah.

You see one of the bags where he keeps his bag. Bags, right? So you throw him with that over, you catch it, you rummage through the pouch that he usually keeps his coming in, and you find the lock picks that Vag's usually usually in there. Okay, bring it over here. Okay. Thank you, love.

Do you have any extra? You can pass them to me and I can maybe have. I'm already doing it while she's talking about. Are there any other extra lockpicks and any other? Make an investigation check. My disadvantage or anything? You are because you're strong up. Investigation check?

I've got my package. You don't find them. 27. Natural one. You're rummaging through the bag trying to find it. You know it's in here somewhere. Honey, you're a hoarder. We really need to clean out your purse.

Just fucking met me out of you. Yeah, I saw with my sister. You eventually get both of your arms and ankles. Undone, you go over to your sister. She's still looking through the patch. Okay. Roll for vax. Can I try and just muscle out this bitch

since I'm still wearing my goal? Make a chance check. 27 again. You get her wrists undone. All right, I'll just hit the whole group then. 24. I really can't find any. Brog just pulls his manacles off the ceiling,

the chain, you break them off your wrists. I went over and start trying to do the lockpick. Oh, actually, I don't have any lock picks on me still, do I? No. Yeah, thanks. He gives me a spare and I start trying to work on the door Okay, so you go over and grab a spare from her pouch. You guys, again, we'll say over the next five minutes or so,

getting everyone undone at this point, you pull, you have like the chain still dangling from your wrist, the manacle's still attached to your tight stone gauntlets, but you're free. I kind of maybe wrap them around just for a little souvenir. Hell change. Yeah, hell chains. As I get Terry out, we're gonna be fine.

This is gonna be fine. We're in jail. I can see you shaking. It's gonna be all right. You're with us. I have no doty. Who will record my exploit? down here. Why am I here if not to record my adventures?

Do you want me to write some stuff down for you? No, you're an idiot. I mean, no thank you, Grog. I lash out when I'm nervous. I don't have my belonging. Do you know what to do with a knife? Of course. Yeah. You cut your food before you eat it. Okay, you also stick the sharp end of it into things,

and I take out the flame tongue, and I stick it in it. Stick it in it. This is a loan up. I'll get it back from you. We're done here. I'll take out my rod and make it a dagger and set it on fire. Oh, you have that. Yes. Well, you haven't got your equipment yet. Oh, I don't. I don't? Where is it? On the other side. You open, you're trying to pick the the the bars that lead into the next chamber? Just hold it. All right, I'll hold it. I'll hold it. Go I add to it? Add your proficiency bonus and your dexterity. I don't even have it because it's outside. Everything's outside? Shit. I need that shit.

27. 27, you get partway into it, and you feel it's moving, but it's a very, very difficult lock. Should I try mine? Bro, wait, not yet. It's quieter to do this. Just come over and... Is it a sticky one?

Yeah, it's really, really tough. I could have done the chains on all of us. I could have done this. Rather than do it, I just grab a hold of her elbow, and I shift it to the side and feel through her bones into the lock and... Take it over all. Through her bones.

Yeah. My bones. Yeah, man. Tov, can't you just turn into, did you curse the lock? You do so when the lock pick on it. Oh, it broke. Breaks off. Anybody care if I try mine.

Now you got to. As long as we're all free already. Could you pick the lock, dog? Comey, hame. Try to do quiet. Just quiet. Just quiet. I can't hold it.

It's so powerful. And opaka! Siege. All right, go ahead. And yeah, go ahead and roll an attack. Fucking doors. Mine still chained up, by the way. No, no, no.

You've been doing it. All right, that's fine. I guess it's not, what would I add? My strength? I'm just rubbing my risk. 26, so, yeah. We add, it's your strength modifier. Yeah.

Which is eight. And I rolled 18. Right. Well, it's 80, so you hit, so go ahead and roll damage. For the purpose, that's one D4, and then add your strength modifier. One D4. That's a six, that's a 1d6.

Straight bottom bar, that's 10. 10, double that's 20. So with your one fist punch between the damage you done to the lock by kind of messing with it and the impact of your fist, the lock shatters and The bar's been something. We're just trying to grab everything in. You pull the equipment in, you get your rod, you get everything situated.

Okay. I cast the... I'm technically... We technically had a short rest since we were basically just manacled walking for well. Nope. Okay, just checking. I cast past out of trace on all of us. Ooh, good. Do we want to take a short rest while we're supposedly?

Nope. Nope. All right, let's go. I think it would be best if maybe we, I mean, I don't know how well we can stealth around here, if we should maybe turn into insects and just crawl around here. I can do that to us? I think we should do that. Can we still do that?

Is everyone cool with that? Can we plane ship later? I've definitely got past without a trace still on us. Cancel plane shift us. So I can burn one of my higher level spells. It's like an eight, kind of on the scale of zero to nine. Yeah. And be animals, and then I can save my seventh level

for plane shift in case of emergencies. Solid copy or not. Doesn't the floor burn? Are we gonna flip out of that shape real fast? But maybe those little insects are immune to the files since they live here. No, we can't be those little. No.

Can I not do that with animal shapes? Can we fly? Can we fly? We do beasts. Yeah. Remember we have this conversation with the Pigeons that can fucking fly. And the creatures that you saw, the insects here are technically very, very small fiends.

Hmm. Oh, really? So have I seen any like, yeah, like flies or rats or anything like that? You've seen rats. There's flies all over here. Maybe like hummingbirds, something the teeniest bird you can think of. Hang on, I've seen rats and I've seen what? We can't be insects.

Have I seen any? I've got to be beasts. Yeah, teeny, teeny, teeny, teeny, like finches or hummingbirds. Are there anything like bats? Have I ever seen the bats? You've seen bats before. You haven't seen bats that reside in this domain. Whatever, as long as we're flying, maybe we can be stealthy. We'll be stealthy bats. What happens if we hit a door on this right, left, straight, left, right?

Let's just walk. Technically, I can change, technically with animal shapes, I can change us with an action. Correct? That's true. I think so, yeah. So we can just shift it in and out whenever we want. As long as we don't get out. Okay. Yeah, it's easier to not get caught.

All right. And then we'll stealth as bats. Stealthy bats. So we're starting as bats. What our bats sound like? Where is Harvey dead? Okay. This is concentration so that this will get rid of your shape change.

Correct. Okay. So as long as we're cool with me losing my ninth level shape change. I can't escort us as an erroneous anymore. I think we should just walk, but if you want to do this, you can. You can. Ooh, wait. Well.

I think we'll just, there's a lot of demons. I mean, how much longer is my shape change left? You don't speak that shit is the problem. You're not quite certain, but it's pushing close to an hour. Yeah, you don't speak the shit, so it's like you and if you have it. Yeah. So bats. Stelty bats.

We like, fuck, fly close to the ceiling. Just embrace it. And be as quiet as possible. We'll care for this. So at least they both start with it. Yeah. All of you guys turn into bats. Flaping.

Wait, I can technically make some of us bats and some of us other things, correct? Yep. I can choose. Yep. Does anyone not want to be a bat for any particular reason? I'm going to leave the way since, you know, I'm good with, you know, directions. Since bats can't see, maybe we should take off hopefully. Actually, you all, essentially you get, you get...

Sonar. But we can still see where we're going. The equivalent of dark vision, you know where you're going. Yeah, we're going. We're here are we. Go for it. Is it echo location only? No, they have both.

Oh, geez. We have to like dark vision. Okay. Apollo and bugs out. Yep. All right. Bats go in swarms. All right.

So a bat swarm suddenly emerges into the hallway, which immediately turns right and left. Which direction are you go? Right. Okay, you turn right, and as you guys rush into the corner, you watch as the chain devil that originally arrived in the first chamber. Like close to the ceiling. Stealthy.

Right. It's about 15 feet up to the ceiling, and you guys go up, the chain devil walks beneath, and as you guys, arc past him, he kind of stops and looks over and watches you all go past him, and he keeps walking, looking very confused. Hading towards the cell we were coming out of. Fly with purpose. Fly with purpose. Okay, fly with purpose.

Fly with purpose. All right, so you guys continue. As soon as we get to a thing, we turn left. Yes, so you go forward for about 60, 70 feet or so. As you see a couple of small imps also fly past, you guys kind of dart around, and they all look curiously at these bats that are swarming Pass them. You're gonna go right now. You come to a T intersection now.

Left, oh. Straight. Right, do we go right once? Wait, no, we haven't, yeah, we haven't gone left yet. You didn't take that left yet? I thought we were taking it. You turned right. Yes, and now we're gonna turn left.

Yes. All right. You all shift following Vex's pathway, left, and as you go forward in that direction, you watch as another chain devil and two barb devil, similar to the one that came in there by your equipment, are kind of patrol. are kind of patrolling down the hall. As you guys are approaching, I want everyone to roll a stealth check. Plus 10.

Plus 10. I'm gonna say trinkets back in the necklace, by the way. I assume. Okay. So that plus 10 for them, that was their feast? No, no, no, that was me. I did that. Oh, okay, cool, cool.

So everyone gets plus 10 decks. 17. 35. 26. 37. 15. 34. 25.

Shut up. Okay. As you guys. Passed. The barb devils just keep walking forward. The chain devil kind of stops and turns and looks over and sees you all. Just keep flying. And turns and starts like walking in your direction as you guys keep flying, you come to a gate that is closed. But it's a gate. Solid or bars? Can we go through? It's solid and there are like there is a small

opening with some bars that are about that far apart each. Let's go through. All right, you guys, as bats just kind of press through the gate, just as as I'm avoiding the bars, just as the chain devil runs up to try and grab at you as you guys charged through it, he's arms catch the gate, and you hear him start yelling. Nih, Korn Mardis! And suddenly you start hearing in the distance, behind where you were, it sounds like rapid footprints,

footfalls. Apparently, people are now aware that you have escaped yourself. Fuck. So you guys continue rushing forward. Oh, we can always be rats whenever the time is necessary. We're good, we're good. You come to another T section. You guys come to another T section.

You go straight. You go straight on this one. All right. You go straight past. Beneath you, you can see there is another one of those blood pools that was in Urukash's chamber. And there were a couple of grates on each side. You see the grates are like corroded as the quick glances you go past. As you continue straight forward, you hear more screams from the right and left side of the two hallways that you pass.

It's kind of echoing past and you just keep pushing forward as best you can. You hear the gate in the distance, open. And so now you know whoever was given chase are now starting to pick up behind you. behind you. So you come up to what looks to be a right and left. Can you wall this way? What? Wait, only a right and left?

Yeah. We go straight. We have two straights in a row. Yeah. Is there any hidden door here? We go straight into the wall. I'm searching for a door. Straight hits the door.

Keep going straight. Make an investigation check. Come on, come on, come on. Eighteen. 18? Yeah. You kind of briefly glance forward as you guys sit here for a second and you begin to hear the distant sound of various infernal yells, yells getting louder and louder.

Something about the wall right in front of you doesn't look right. Keep going straight. Yeah. I start battering into the door. Can we batter into it or can we just flush through it? Vax just passes through it.

This is an illusory wall. As you go into this next chamber. Everybody's doing something different. There is. It's just like, fuck, okay. This has been a weird day. Aren't you glad you're playing with us? Terry got wings coming out of his head.

As you guys are flying in this new chamber, it is pitch black. Thankfully, your vision allows you as best to see Toby. You start to have the recurring memory of the fact that you're not sure where they're going or they're taking you, but you still have people in this prison. Yeah, am I looking out? Do I recognize anything that we're passing? You have no idea where they are, and you have no idea where you are currently. Can I use my heightened senses to do a perception check and see if I can smell anything? You would if you weren't about.

I mean, there's nothing in the rulebook that says bats can't have high-ins sense. Well, technically, what do bats have? I don't need to be a bear to do that. That's for sure. It says that's just part of my class. I know, I know. In your normal form, you would.

As bats. As bats, however, it's a little more rough. Let me check real fast just to be- I use my son on. It can be like 5E bats. I quite like Googling 5E bats. I mean. The war is over and both sides lost.

Kingdoms were reduced to cinders and armies scattered like bones in the dust. Now the survivors claw to what's left of a broken world, praying the darkness chooses someone else tonight. But in the shadow dark, the darkness always wins. This is old school adventuring at its most cruel. Your torch ticks down in real time. When that flame dies, something else rises to finish the job. This is a brutal rules-light nightmare with a story that emerges organically based on the decisions that the characters make. This is what it felt like to play RPGs in the 80s.

And man, it is so good to be back. Join the Glass Cannon podcast as we plunge into the Shadow Dark every Thursday night at 8 p.m. Eastern on YouTube.com slash the Glass Cannon with the podcast version dropping the next day. See what everybody's talking about and join us in the dark. Look, there are a lot of celebrity interview podcasts out there, but there's only one Happy, Sad, Confused. I'm Josh Horowitz, and yeah, I'm the host of the show, so I'm a little biased, but truly Happy, Sad, Confused is the place for nerdy and intimate conversations with all your

favorite actors and filmmakers. From Andrew Garfield and Scarlett Johansson to Christopher Nolan, casting what ifs, backstage stories, and much more. Listen to Happy Sad Confused on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get. your podcasts. Bats. I say a swarm of bats. That's basically what you guys are altogether.

That's true. We are a swamber. You have echo locations, so you can't, you know. Oh man, put us in a strad campaign. Yeah. You have keen hearing, but that's not going to help you tremendously in this circumstance. So yeah, there is a sinking feeling that right now, either you, going with them, you might leave your friends behind. Just be aware.

As you guys push forward into this dark chamber, it continues forward and then dips down into a series of stairs, takes you to a secondary level below. As you guys follow this down for about 45 feet, it evens out again and opens up into another T intersection. Left. All right, you guys go ahead and turn left. As you turn right around the corner, they're waiting. You see there is a single bone devil and three flying spined devils. These like deep blue, dark green, imp-like devils, but like with these giant spined wings and these long quills sticking out of their body as they carry these spears. And you all almost, you encounter each other at once.

The spine devils are up in your area, and as you've kind of flutter past, there's no way they didn't see you. Chaos, chaos. Drop some guano. Yeah, I poop. Okay. I poop.

Smell's better than the prison. Guano, guano, guano. As this is happening, the bone devil kind of stops and turns. The spine devils, they get kind of caught up in the area. Two of them are going to instinctively swing at you guys as you move past. That is going to be, there's the spine and devil Here, how are we to hit?

There we go. There we go. That is an eight. Oh, wow. That might actually miss. I think it does, actually. The worst possible. A bad has an AC of 12.

Yep. Yeah! So the first. Guys, we have one hit point, by the way. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I made no promises other than backs. One hit point, each of you.

The other one is going to swing. Say roll. Two six is in a roll. Eight, eight. That is, oh, man. Matt turned 12. Matt turned 12. So both of them miss as you guys continue pushing forward past these. However, the full speed of a bat.

30 feet. It's a 30 foot speed. It's a 30-foot fly speed. And we're definitely doubling our movement. Yeah. Correct. We're dashing. And we're down there. Spine devils are a little faster than you guys, and they're gaining on you.

As you move past, they get their attack swings, but you guys do double dash, so they're behind you, and now they're all starting to slowly gain. As they're pushing forward and pushing forward, you come to another T intersection. Straight. Straight. You go straight, okay. This, as you go straight forward, it kind of curves a little bit to the right, and it continues forward. The spine devils are just starting to catch up to you guys, and two of them go ahead and, let's see what attacks they have here. They're both going to fire tail spines at you. Their tail kind of curves up behind and swings, and they fire these spines forward. There's three of them. So one's going to be at Grog, one's going to be at Vaxx, and one's going to be at Percy. Against Grog. That is a two plus four. These guys can't hit anything. Six.

Just as soon as past you. One towards Vax. That was tucked. Natural 20. Oh. And against you, Percy, that is a 19 plus two. So both of you guys get hit. Even basic damage, both of your bat forms, and you both fall about 10 feet. Is it an attack roll or? Yeah. Yeah, they both, spines hit you. You both take.

But if it's under my AC? No, it's a bad's AC. You're over a bat's AC, which is 12. So that's six. So you take five points of damage facts to your main form, and Percival, you take four points of damage to your main form. form. Oh, plus one point of fire damage and two points of fire damage. I've got my armor is set to fire, so do I take one anyway? You still take one, middle. Okay. Okay, yeah. Just the two of us. All right, so the rest of you guys are bats. Both of you

plump it, hit the ground and the spine devil's approach. Attempt to acrobat roll so that I'm up and rolling. Oh boy, here we go. So now we have. So now we have We have, Vaxon. Yeah, we did pretty good, you guys. We got very far. We did a lot. We did well. We're back this way.

We're going to say that these guys represent you as bats. We'll say, Tarion is one. Keelith is two. Tova is three. Vex is four. Four dice. And Grog is five. All right.

So we'll use these for spine devils for now. for spine devils for now. Well, actually, that is pretty small, so we'll use these. So these are the spine devils right here, and you see a bone devil coming up in the distance. So, I need everyone to roll initiative. Yeah, don't bug Miguel. I said don't do. Terrible. Terrible. Not great. All right, so that brings this from 25 to 20. 30.

25. Jesus, please. 20. So 30, 20. 25. 25, nice. Tova. We're making noise now, do we care? No, that was bad math.

23. Okay, still good. I don't know. If we can get in it out of this quick and keep going. 20 to 15? I can keep turning us into things. 11. As long as I don't lose concentration, I can keep turning us into different things.

Including the two of us, even though we've hit one. Correct. Good enough. All right. 10 to five. Big seven. Eight. Actually, it's a concentration of up to 24 hours. As long as I don't use a concentration. Four.

Oh, gosh. Oh, shit. On a subsequent turn, I can use my action to transform affected creatures in new forms. Now in these forms, if it looks like it, we do get an attack. You do, but you attack as a bat. Yeah. Raby. Can we just keep you just like...

And a hit is one point of Pearson Day. What was your initiative order? What was your number? 11. Fuck. Not great. We're stuck as bats until she left us out. As long as you just can't stay on the way and don't break your concentration, you can keep turning us in and out. Correct. Okay.

Don't get exactly what I'm going to do, is try and not get hit by the by. Personal. You just plummeted to the ground. Actually, both you and Vaxx from the fall since you were 15 feet up. You both took, or been two points. of bludgeoning damage and five points of bludgeoning damage Vax. Okay. All right. Okay.

I'm going to take my six paces towards the lava pit. Is it a blood pit or a lava pit? It's a blood pit. Blood pit. And then I'm going to hold my attack until Vax does what he's going to do. Okay. I'm loud. All right, then it's Percy's turn.

Tovo. So, can I go from a back? to a bear? Uh. Bat bear. Where about bear? Batman. Very about there.

Bearman. The magic keeps you Any number of willing creatures that you can see within range. You transform each target into the form of a large or smaller east. Technically you are not a dwarf. You are not a blood hunter. You lost the abilities of your class while you are currently a bat. So currently you just have bat capabilities.

You could move and then hold your bat. You could move and then hold you. hold your action if you were to change forms. It's up to you. Kind of what Percy did. Get position and then wait. I'm gonna fly over with my dudes and hang out and hold my action.

All right, so you'll hang there. All right, Grog. I'm just following Vex. Okay, so you'll just kind of stay over in this area. I'm real good with directions, but let's be honest. All right. You guys want to fight, right? So these three spine devils,

who just hit the other, this one here is gonna rush over to this side and is gonna fire, this is gonna be at Tova. It's gonna fire tail spine. That is an eight, they keep willing sixes to hit. Misses, no effect. These two other spine devils here are going to, they're going to come forward

and do a multi-attack on Facts, both of them are just going to pincer up this way. So that's one with its bite and one with its fork. So there's certainly is two tail spines. It's going to make a second strike at Utova. That is an 11. Misses still. I mean, unless my

Unhittable bats. Unless my bat stats are Bat stats. Bat A.C. is 12. So you're actually like, if you still dodge out of the way. All right, so two tasks can get back. That is a seven. Seven, and a 21.

Yeah. That hits. 21 hit you? No. Bats. Oh, it just hits me. It just hits me. That's what I thought.

Okay, so you take five points of piercing damage. Can I undeady dodge? All right, you take two points piercing damage. Okay. The other one is going to attack you again twice as well. That's a four and an 11. Nope. Yeah, it.

Ending their turn now, the Bone Devil is going to catch up, flies in, its wings expanding. Forward, it's going to go ahead and make three attacks against YuVax, as you're the closest one to it. That is 10. 20? No. And it's cocked. 20. No. Two 12s in a row. You're just dodging out of the way, being crazy rogue, evading. That brings us now to Keyleth. Oh, shit. Can I change people as a bat? Yeah, as an action. You can change your form, just as an action. But can I stay as a bat and change other people?

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, this is here. Sweet. What do you mean? On subsequent action, you can use your actions to transform affected creatures in new forms. So yeah. Okay.

I don't see why you couldn't. I'm going to turn, do you want to be a bat too? Yeah, I'm useless. I'm going to turn both Bax and Percy into Bats. What? What? I asked what you wanted to be and you said a bat. We don't even have time to ask that question. You just do it.

We're both bats! And we're piecing out against? If we can, we're going to piece out. What else is going to turn into bats? Bats. We're all bats. We're all bats again. Okay. All right. And are you, so you're just going to do that? You're turning? You're going to move?

I'm going to look at Bax and go. I wink as a bat. Like I totally understood her. Okay. So you turn, Kay Liffel. All right, so you... Is that going to move? Well, I'm following her.

She's got to wait until Vex gets out of there. Now he's, like, surrounded him as a bat. Vex was leading the way. She knows where to go. Next, your turn. I want to lead everybody away down to the right, but I got to make sure that my brother gets away from these bucks before that happens.

So I'm going to hold my... movement until can I can hold your movement you can only hold an action you hold a dash action I'm gonna hold my dash action then until I see that he's safe okay or at least he's away from them so we can get going as a bat do I have action bonus action like backstahs or just one thing now you have your action as a bat okay well I'll dash still if you want to I will I will disengage disengage as a bat disengage as an action can I use my action so you could um that's disengaged yeah I mean Anybody can disengage as an action.

It's just a combat action. You just can't do anything else. So I can do is move. If they hit me, I'm back to being in regular form again, so, and there's three of them. So I'm gonna disengage. All right, so you disengage? And then fly as far as I can towards the group.

Okay, 30 feet. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty, twenty five, thirty. Okay, I see him, and we have everybody now. Go, go, go. Go, go. Which way is the right? You guys move it in this way? So this way.

Yeah. Okay, so using you dash, okay. It was the last. It was the last thing. It was to the right. It was the final turn. Right? Yeah, to the right. I've been holding an action.

Right. Can I actually burn it as a dash action. I know. Why did they say it like that? Like it was. Yeah, it is the right as far as we know the right. Maybe it's, stage right. Mm-hmm. But everything else was, I'm just going to the right. That right.

That's the last intersection that I know. So that ends Vex's turn there. Tyrion. I'm going to go where she went and further if I can. And you are off the page. Can I burn my action as a dash or no? You can't, yeah. Yeah, I'm burning my action as a dash.

All right, so that books. Let's go, go, go, go. That's. 30, and then. Bye. That would be. Tuddles. As much as we can be Tuddles.

30. Dear God, I can't believe this shit. That brings us to Percy. I'm gonna keep booking. Okay, five, ten, thirty. And you also, with a. with a double move, get up to there. Okay. Next up is Toba.

Oh, I'll just keep going with rest. All right, so you get up, you catch up the rest. These guys here way off the map. All righty, Grog. I'm gonna burn my Ashton is a d'Arst. D'Ars, Burrf, d'ar, d'ar. All righty. Arson is a d'Arsh?

With that, the spine devils are going to move forward. Yeah. Yeah. Who is that? Is that Keele? Is that me? That is two. That is Percy.

Oh, it is. No, no. Percy's off the match. It's not. It's cute. Yeah, because I have like one, two, but you were guys were transformed. But I was holding my movement to move with effects.

You can't hold a movement. I can't fucking hold a movement. I did in action to make sure they were bats. Yep. Okay. So you get swarmed by three spine devils. This is not good plan. It's cool.

It's cool. Not in this form. It's cool. Cool. So attack against you. It's okay. As soon as she gets hit, we're all not bats. That's an 18.

Well, none's really true. Kieleth, you take six points of slashing damage. So that's one, your bat form is gone. You drop that, you become Kieliff again. And you take five points of damage carried over. Uh-huh. And then it's going to now get its tail attack against you. It's going to miss.

The other one's going to bite. Miss tail attack is going to be a 17. What's your AC? Currently 16. So you take six points of piercing damage. The last one's going to get slats on you. That is a 21 and a natural one. So the last attack you get is four points of slashing damage. So it is six plus four total? So ten. Ten. Okay.

And I need you to go ahead and make three concentration checks. It's got to be ten each time. Good, the first time. Good, the second time. And seven plus my Constitution, correct? So that is an 11 the third time. The Constitution saving throw? All three. That's enough. So you maintain concentration on the spell. Solid. Now you're helping. Thanks, Caleb. The bone devil flies up and is now going after Keelef.

with all of its might. Did we turn us all into bears? We didn't do any of that healing or anything, did we? Nope, you didn't have time. That's cool. Oh shit. So good, I'm good. Three attacks.

That is going to be an 18. Hit. It's a claw. Second claw. That's on 27. Yeah. And the sting is a 25. So all three hits you.

So you take Sorry, guys. Nine points of slashing damage. Be prepared, uh-huh. Concentration check. I mean, I'm about to go down. I make it. I make it. All right. That is 12 points of slashing damage. I'm down. Everyone's about to hit the ground.

Keyless falls unconscious. He's got one more time. And the tail strikes you, auto-crit. You lose two deaf saving throws. Come. We're all human now. And you're all human. All of you drop form. More dwarf.

Yeah. Way to be humanist. I'm a very, I'm definitely. Definitely. So four would be. Fucking hell. Vex. Okay, gotta fix this super, super fast. Really not looking good.

And everybody's far away from her, except for me and who's the other person? Oh man, where do my VX model go? Do I just appeal? I think I may actually left you on the other map. That's okay. I'll bring it up. I'll be fine for this one. I'll just use the... Oh, because I was in a corner. Yeah, I'll use the error and yes for you, it's fine.

That's okay. That's pretty hot. Nobody puts Spaniy in there. All right. as we'll say. What else gets right here? Can you put a little marker on me so I can see it? I can't see the a yes. Probably should have taken the hot, took the heel.

That's you. Okay, thank you. You're welcome. Percival. Bex. Tarian. Tova. Percy, my necklace is blowing.

Yeah, we all know. And I'm not a bat. Does that mean that Keylet is dead? End of their turn. Kielis. Uh-huh. It's your turn. Oh, shit, no.

You're next in the initiative order. Oh, shit, no. Oh, God, oh God, oh, God, I'm a big here! Why would that, that's not, wait. I don't want to die, you guys. Why, no, no, why two? No. Who do I do this, too?

You just rolled it. I did. It's a 13. Oh, but quickly. Yeah. I was going to switch dice, but that's a 13. I'll take that. Is it the intentional roll?

No. No. Okay. Oh, no, that's not. Oh, no. Don't fuck me, Gil. Come on, go. Come on.

I'm good. Oh, God. It's a 12. Oh, my God. Oh, okay. Still bleeding out. Man, isn't that plane shift. My success.

That's success. Right, what? Yeah. What did you just say? She has played. I said if you die, we're fucked. Oh, my God. If she dies.

We're fucked. We're fucked. That's. I'm good. I'm good. That's campaign over. Okay. No.

No. How do we do? No, we're good. Let's, come on. That might be campaign over. Well, I don't know. We're not out of the woods. Oh my God, what the fuck are we thinking?

I'm not to go back and save her. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're up. I run forward and I slide on my knees and put my hand on her and cast cure wounds at fourth level on T-Lift.

All right. All right. Campaign resumed. Holy shit. I'm great, I'm good. Oh man, that role was bigger than I knew. Yeah, that would have been fucking bad. You guys have a spreading urgency of the entire prison of Mentiri now bearing down

and escaped mortal criminals without plane shift. That doesn't work? Okay, all right, so we have the extreme hints. We were bats, Matt. So that was pretty fine planning. That was good. That was awesome. That was great.

You heal 27 points, Keylet. Okay. Okay. We're fine. All right, set your action. That's my action. You move it. You have a bonus.

Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I? I'm gonna pop trink it out as my bonus. Whereabouts? Uh, behind, like, yeah, no, sure. Whatever.

Sure, I'll say just instinctually pop them out there. Yeah. All right. And that was my like full movement and everything was in it. Yeah. Holy shit. All right. Vax your turn.

I run and skit right up next to my sister and I have a potion of superior healing and I pour it in the keylet's mouth. All right. That's your action. Yes, I know. Once you... Oh, God. Come, I'm gonna say, ha! Ha!

The last one! Every drop, every drop. 22 more. 22 more. Okay. That's yours. Oh, my. A little back, scull.

I can't fucking believe that. I'm a 49 hit point. I didn't realize until then I was like, oh, Kiyos goes down. Oh, no. Oh, no. Padney's bears. How long has it been since the Pitfiend moment?

It's been roughly an hour, a little over an hour. Over an hour? Shit. Yeah. All right. And I'm gonna throw with a bonus action, Chuck Whisper. No, it has to be tied to an action, doesn't it? It has to be tied to an action, yeah. There's nothing else I can do.

Standra. I can get up with a bonus action, though? Can you help me up? No, bonus action was a potion, no. Can't a potion be a bonus? No, not just tell me to somebody else. Okay, then I'm done. All right. So, Teryon.

Do you have any spells like a splice or anything? How far away am I? You were about, I mean, with 30 foot movement, you can get within range where you can see any of the creatures. We just gotta get Kila back away. I'll run back then. I guess. You'll get there.

I don't know. I'm having everything into you so you can just like push to them. Hopefully you can push to them. Oh, good. I'm great! You have these three little spine devils that are like these little flying imps covered spines that are relatively small and you have one big bone devil. That was the one that's just almost killed Keele.

All right. I'll just throw acid at one of them, I guess. Which one? The one who looks the meanest. That's the bone devil. All right. Bone devil. Decks save. That is a 14.

What's your DC? 17. Yeah, so go ahead and roll damage. Yay! Okay, give me some sixes. Yes. Mm-hmm. And one more.

Oh, Oh, lots. Oh, lots. How did this happen? How did we get here? Did you say, would you say, Plainship?

25. 25 points of acid damage to the bone devil. Nice. Beyonce and Capain, killed. So as the bile breaks across the front of its body, you see the acid, burn its flesh, curls into itself, and you can see the smoke rising off of it as its flesh is beginning to burn and melt away. Nice, that's your turn?

I will cast Sanctuary on Young Keyliff. Oh, shit. Nice. The first time you've helped another person, right? Terri-ion. In my life. Oh, Terri-on. Strange.

I'll see you. I'll see you. I'm a better person. Fuck sound at this point, I suppose. I'm gonna run and just get them into view. Yep, you got them. All right, three shots, and I'm gonna do a push back on all three, and I'm gonna push them all.

The spine devils you mean? Spine devil, spine devil, spine devil, spine devil, spine devil, so three spine devils and one bone devil. So two spine devils and one bone devil. Three spine devils and one bone devil? Yeah. Let's, three spine devils and one bone devil. Let's, uh.

Stop saying. The no-co-pepsi. No-co Pepsi. And the bone devil is the real problem, I suppose. Yeah, come on, Pete. dangerous looking at that case. I'm gonna push him back. I'm gonna do a shot to push him back.

All right. Oh my god. And that's, yeah, that's a 1929. Yeah, you hit him. Yeah, I hit him. That's one D. Pop, pop, pop, motherfucker. Dube up.

That is my power song, you don't even know. Fifteen points of damage plus five psychic. All right. And he moves backwards ten feet. So 20 damage. He pushes back just that far, but he hits a wall. He can't be pushed back further than that. Can't be pushing.

It's a little bit. Go right there. He can't really move. He's already up against the wall. All right. Let's take another, let's take a spine devil, the one that's threatening the most people. Okay.

The song is not called Dubop. Same shot. It's called mbop. That's what I said. Mm-bop. I heard a lot of dubop. 25. That hits, full damage.

That's not the damage. I don't know if I have five years. Oh yeah. 17 points of damage. points of damage and six points of psychic damage. That was a bang and roll. You scatter one of its five numbers of one shot. And I get my grip back.

Blast apart. The other one, I'm just gonna spend a point for grit for a Bibba-a-de-E. Just get advantage. Go for it. That's cocked. 29. 20 hits.

14 points of damage and one point of psychic. Okay. He's still standing? Still standing. Action surge. Yes. Action sure. Three more.

Hitting him again. That seems terribly, yes. Same thing with a grit. All right. Oh shit. Yeah, that's good to do. 16, 70 and 24 to hits. It's against the second spine devil.

The second spine devil. That's 11 points of damage and four psychic. He scatters. Third Spine Devil. Yes. Same thing with a, with a, actually, I can't get a, got, he's in a grip back. There's Spine Devil?

Yeah, these shots are, bouch. Yeah, that's a, actually I'll re-roll the cock one, but it doesn't matter. Yep. That hits. Echoing through the hall. Watch for that. Everyone now, everyone who is ever searching for anything

knows exactly where to go now. Yeah, fuck it. It's worth it, the 13 points of damage and five psychic. Okay. Still standing, but looking rough. Standing, but looking rough. Yeah, but there's four fucking inches. Another shot, same thing, same thing with advantage.

Yeah, that's fine. 24? 24. Yep. Oh, thank God they're easy to hit. That's, oh, that's what, 16 points of damage and four psychic. The third spine devil's just upper torso is disintegrated by the blasts. Its wings kind of flick off in two sides, spattering part of the bone devil.

So I still have it. So I'm going to spin my head. My last grit. I'm just on our knees watching it all like... Last grit is a shot to the spine devil. That was already three attacks. What? That was three more attacks. No, that was one, two. Oh, that was one two. You killed the second one and then shot twice to kill the third one, so you're out of attacks.

All right, I'm done. Reload. And that's the end of my turn. All righty, at this point you guys can hear distant yelling, getting louder and louder down the hallway where you came from. You hear the voices just echoing and swarming and people are starting to get closer knowing where you are. Tova, you're up. How many of these devil guys are left? There's just one bone devil left. Okay, I'm gonna run back 45 feet. How close can I get to him?

45, you can get about there. You're about 15 feet from him. 10 feet. You got any projectile shit? I do not. Need to heal? That would help. Do you have anything to heal with?

I don't think so. Are you hungry? Yeah. Do you have any food? No. Who's closest to me here? Currently it's Vax, the half elf rogue guy. Just, can I save my action?

You could? Yeah. Yeah, because I have an short rest so you don't have your blood curses back. Yeah, no, I don't have, I... Okay. Cool. So you're just hold your action just in case it comes in here? Yeah, I'll just hang out with my new friends here. Okay, sounds good.

Grog. Come running in, 50 feet, ah! 50 feet puts you, Right up, like standing over Keeleth pretty much. Am I in melee distance? You are within melee distance. Recklace attacks. Yes.

Yes, Killet. So we can run away. 29. You do have a point of exhaustion, by the way. 29 hits. 24 points. 24 points of damage already. Second one reckless.

Natural 20. Ah! Okay. Oh, from the guard. From the god. Yes, from the god. 27. 34.

34 points of damage. Did you double the dice? Did two additional damage dice rolls. Right. So you did the first attack. Initial one, and then I did two more. 10 details. So the total was?

34. 34. Yeah. All right. Because I got two levels of the Bruton of Critical. Great. So those are your two attacks. Yeah.

All right, that brings us to the Bone Devils turn. You're still alive? Yeah, still alive. And seeing everybody kind of rush in and help this wounded creature on the ground. Matt, can I... Sorry, no, sorry. Okay. Okay, no way.

Is sure? Can I use the blood curses? I can use it three times per short rest, so I have one more. Right? You did, uh... I did two in the prison. Two mutual suffering, and you needed your mark. Oh, you're right, okay.

Yeah, you're right, I did three. It's all good. Carry on. All right, so it's going to go ahead and... Actually, no. Let me roll to see which way it is. Okay, yeah, it's not that intelligent. So intelligence check, you being the immediate threat,

it turns the attention towards you as opposed to Keyleth, who's currently in the ground. As you're the biggest threat to it at the moment, and it's going to go ahead and make three strikes at you. strikes at you, that is 16? Uh, misses. 16? Misses! Come on, Brock! 17.

Hits. Oh, finally. That's about eight, nine. That's by eight, nine. All right, that is two D. 16 points of piercing damage. Nice. And no poison, because you are me.

Word. All right, that ends its turn, and it's going to shift over, flying over into this way. flying over onto this way and kind of coasting in the center there and getting over, Kiel's getting close to the blood pool. They are a retaliation? Yes, you can. Yeah.

As a reaction, you can. Broke it's broken out. It's that psychic damage you took earlier. You got this. Just like that flies earlier. Get it. Yeah. 30.

Yeah, that hits. 24. 24. 24 points of day. As it flies over you, through the air, you just arc in up the direction with your your hammer. As you do, it just breaks its entire rib-kick and we're just, you hear the shattering of bones and it kind of gives up this wheeze as you follow through and slam it back down where it was standing. Sweet!

Yeah! Yeah. Kaelith, can you do a wall of stone? Yeah, yeah, into the corridor. Yeah. Yeah, but let's make our way in. Yeah, but do it here so we don't know which way we wait. They know the dust and then we'll throw the dust and trinisters down.

They know the layout of this prison. Yeah, but they don't know which direction. They don't know. We're band from a box. You guys hear voices not coming from the other sides as well. Oh shit. Just take off down the thing and put it up some crystal stones. Go.

Go. Do it. I'm going to use my scroll of programmed illusion. Okay. Have any creatures talked to us in common down here with their mouths, not with their minds? There's been a handful, yeah. What kind? They've been the Cambion, the guy you met earlier, the red skin who made the deal with Percival.

The chain devil spoke common. The chain devil spoke common. Did he work in the prison? No. The chain devil is going to make a programmed illusion. Upon anyone approaching a chain devil will appear over the dead bodies that we just killed and say, there were five of them. They went that way.

And point down the hallway that we just came out of. Go get them now. Make them pay. Okay. All righty. As you pulled the scroll out and you watched the scroll out and you watched the scroll burst into flame, you finish the incantation and you watch as out of the blood pool rising this chain devil looking like real material steps up and walks over to the bodies and just sits there looking

over them just waiting for someone to trigger. Okay, we should put the dust of trace list down. Go, go, go, go, go. Dust of trace list is on the ground. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go ahead. Go ahead. I hold my wall of stone since he has that because I don't want to make make parents. Ryan, can get this out of here. What? Oh. Get this map out if we can. Oh.

All right. So I have a map out. All right. So you guys. You guys continue right. Thank you. And get the last one in. You guys head down this hallway for about another 100 feet, hearing the shouts behind, you hear conversation, different languages happening. They're getting a little more distant.

You're catching some ground here, and it's going well. It's going well. Eventually, you make your way. There's another whole fucking map. It's the door. This is Matt Mercer we're talking about. I'm looking for traps. I'm looking for fucking traps. You guys make your way down to the end of this chamber, and you see three different doors that are all,

closed off to the front, the right and the left. Fain's smile, Fain smile. Fain smile. Faint smile. As you're making your investigation check, you hear what sounds like the writhing of chains and the pulling of heavy metal grinding. As you begin to look and inspect the doors real fast,

you glance up in the entire ceiling is a sea of rolling chains, all gathering, and then from the ceiling burst down in the center of the chamber. Jesus! No! A chain golem slams into the center. It's glowing red eyes from underneath. All right.

As you guys have all kind of scattered amongst this chamber as you ran down. Vax just rushed up and began to inspect these here. What are you guys doing? Wait, is this it? Is this where we're supposed to be? You gotta find out which room he's in. All right. He's in one of these rooms? Everyone's in a little initiative.

Oh my God. Oh, no. What size is that thing? Big dice, big dice. It's about almost 20 feet tall. And when it slams the ground, it's hunched forward. If it was standing upright, it would scrape the ceiling. So it's like a fire giant size?

A little bit under a fire giant size, but you watch the chains from the ceiling are still attached to it. It's like almost the whole ceiling in an upper portion of this chamber is made of chain that's kind of feeding it. Do we have anything to freeze? Fuck this hell raise or shit. I know.

To freeze? I mean, yeah. We have our ship back, right? Yeah. If you can freeze him in place, maybe he's made of metal. 25 to 20. 24. 24. 21.

And what would you offer your investigation check, by the way? Oh, 22. 22. This doorway, the first one you checked, does not seem to have the symbol on it. It appears to be some sort of infernal symbol that you don't recognize. Nice. All right, so 20 to 15? 17. 15 to 10? 13. 13. Terian? Two.

Oh. Wow. Wow. Are you rolling one? Eight for Vax. I rolled a two. All right. Vex, you're on first. Can I run to the other doors that Vex's, Vax isn't looking at? Which one of these are you checking? Huh? Which one of these doors are you checking?

The far one in the back. In the back here? Yeah. Okay. And I'll look for the symbol. An investigation check. 23. and this one has a symbol that looks like a half moon that is broken and is bleeding into a pool below it. And I'm looking for a feigned grin.

I mean that could be. That could be a morescent moon. It could be a crescent, like a crescent, like half moon. That looks like it's breaking in the middle and bleeding in a pool. That totally could be a faint grin. Could be. Okay, okay, okay. Which one? Door number.

The very back door. This one and this one have been inspected. So that's your movement to get up there and your action to kind of look thoroughly to look at the symbol of the symbol of the symbol of the same. in the low light. Can I, okay. You have a bonus still. Yeah, is it possible to bonus hide? So he doesn't.

You have nowhere to hide from, you have nothing obscuring. Nothing to obscure the view? Not really. Okay, then I'm gonna use my bonus to pop Trinkin out. Okay, drink it appears out of your necklace. I guess he's already out, wasn't he?

Because we were running. Yeah, we may have pulled him back in, it's fine. It's a waste of bonus out. No, no, no, no, I'm gonna huntress mark. I'm gonna huntress mark. Okay. No, Hunter's Mark, okay. All right, I'll go with it.

Okay. Hunter's mark on the chain golem. Toto, your turn. Okay, I'm gonna run over there behind the chain golem where Vex is. I'm gonna do a perception check. Can I use my smell? I guess I'll check out this last door.

Okay. Can I do a general sense of smell for the whole area and see if I smell anything coming from any of these prisons? Sure, make a perception check as you're rushing in and kind of making us in. What about the symbol? Do you see anything? With advantage because of your...

Yep. All right. So that is a, that's a 23. 23. The chamber seems to have various scents that kind of mix in this area. The one on the far end has this like ancient dusty decay smell to it. The one on the opposite side of the chamber has a weirdly iron, rusty, kind of old metal scent.

And the doorway you're out right now is a very strong scent of sulfur. of sulfur. Mm-hmm. Is there anything on the door? Make an investigation check. Okay. That's a, that is a, where's what you're investigation?

That's an 18. You knock the dust from the side, and as you inspect closely, hearing the chains grinding and spinning around you, and occasionally you duck because you see one kind of whip across and break part of the stone and cause chunks of it to fly off. You look down and you see two small eyes and one deep toothy grin. Hey, this one's smiling. smiling. But is it a feigned grin? A feigned grin is usually cocked, but it looks like it's

there. It doesn't appear sincere, so. Except the apartment's molded decay, you know. And that's not sulfur. Okay, yeah, that's true. That's true. What do I have left? Well, as a note, so remember this, it took you while to get there because the chains they're rolling around it are kind of entangling and wrapping around the area, so you were half moving, which got you just to there. I forgot to mention that earlier. However, the chains in the process are crushing and doing damage as you move through. Oh.

So it's six points. I know. Six points of bludgeoning damage to you as you kind of pull your way through the chains getting to that area. All right, that ends Tova's turn. It is now the chain golems turn. Do I have an extra action or anything? Your action was to do the investigation.

You have your bonus if you have something to spend it with. Turn into a bear? Sure. I turn into a bear. And bear form. And bear form. And bear form. There is your bear form.

There is your bear form. All rightyty. So, any, Tover, sir, it is not the golem's turn. The Golem is going to, has a 10-foot range in the same. It's going to do two slam attacks. It's going to reach out and slam once at Percy, who's within his front range there after landing, and Keelith is immediately to its left. Don't fucking guy, Keelith.

Just a physical slam attack. A giant battery gram of heavy, thick chains is going to whoop and punch out towards Percival. The fist swings and almost mergers. merges with the rest of the body as a second arm forms where it was and then back fists in the Kieliff. Like its form shifts with the chains that move around within its body, and it keeps its form is ever changing and shifting like a giant amoeba of moving metal. The first attack towards Percival, that is 27 to hit. Oh my god, yes. All right, you suffer. That is

22 points of bludgeoning damage. 22 points. And against Keelith, that is a 25 to hit. Yep. Keelith, you take 21 points of bludgeoning damage. Is Sanctuary still working on her? Yeah. She's sanctuary on.

I'm going to make a wisdom saving throw her before we can do that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good at this. Don't fuck me. It fails! It takes it! It rolled a two and had a zero wisdom modifier. Oh, that's good.

That's good. That's great. So as it goes to... So as it goes to strike you, the second fist appears and then seems to just dwindle and fall to the ground, and it forms again in the spot where it was. And you watch, it's like multiple arms are now forming and coming out of it at different places.

Icework, Terry. It's going to back up as it does so its eyes shift. Like these two red beady points of light that form its eyes kind of shift at the back of its head. And now you see it, it's like taking, they're almost moving around and it's keeping a visual range of everything in the room now. Do we get an attack of opportunity

since we're moving out of its combat range? No, you weren't, it was not in your combat range. It had a reach, unfortunately. The ends of turn, Kieluth, you're up. Oh, okay, I need to stay alive. Who's close to me in a 30-foot radius? And who's looking rough? You.

Everyone but Vex and Trinketer in a 30-foot radius. Okay, I want to start backing out a little bit, and who's Lewis on hit points? Legit. You and 19. Hit points left. Me. Tova. Tova.

Tova, Tarian, and I can pick three more people. I'm going to do a mass cure wounds. Who else wants it? Who else is low? I'll say get on it like two thirds, I guess. And if no. Facts. Anyone else looking low?

You want it? Anyone else looking relatively low? I mean, you can do it to both of them too. I mean, if you can do it to everybody, why not? I can do it to six people. So we've got one, two, three, four. I'll say yes. Actually, and then.

And grunk. Everyone with that. And we're gonna do a mask here. Wounds, which, yeah, mm, two, two, two, three, D8, plus my, spell, casting, ability, okay. Yep, so three D8 plus six, go for it. And per seer up next. Oh my god, that's amazing.

Wow, did that happen? Oh, that's a one. What? You can be rolling. No, only if it's a elemental damage. Eight, sixteen, seventeen, plus six. So 23. 23 points of health.

23 points of healing. So mark that in, guys. That's your action. And then I'm kind of, I'm backing out a little bit. Backing this way or this way? Yeah, like towards away from the chain golem. Yeah. That way. This way, if you move on more, he's gonna attack opportunity on you.

Because you're within melee range. Fucking hell. You're gonna risk it? Or not? Yeah, I'll risk it. Okay. Can you transform anymore or are you spent? I can do it one more.

more time, but only to an animal, not an elemental. Okay, so you back up, it takes a swing at you with its chain slam. That is 26 to hit. Yep. You take... It hits. Yeah. The sanctuary is still on her? 30 points of bludgeoning damage. Sanctuary, sanctuary. Thank you for reminding me. It's a giant goal. Of course. That is a 14. Miss? What's your DC? 17. On what? My spell DC?

Yeah, I spell DC. 17. 17. It goes to swing again towards your as a reaction, and the magic prevents it from actually hitting its mark and it chains retract back into its body. So no damage to sustain. Matt, if I may be. No. Technically he can choose another target. Are you going to be honest? Oh, because he failed. No, it just says in Sanctuary. It either fail or he can choose another target. That's true. All right. So instead, this will go to...

Sorry. I'm just saying. No, it's good. It'll go to Tova and Vax for the two. two attacks that he got sanctuary earlier. So the Vax, that is a 31? No, that does not hit. So you take the 30 points of damage instead. You're taking it for me? Yes, same.

And then against- Thanks, boyfriend. Tova, that is a natural one. That's a what? Natural one to hit you. Oh, yay. So it actually slams into the door above, you, and-

Does it break through the door? I'm gonna make a strength check now. Happy too. The door cracks and it partially gets, gets pushed inward. It's already damaged. Somehow the chain Gouldem actually helped you out. That's interesting. All right, that ends its turn. Keelith, you're up. No, no, that was

Kayla's turn. Percy, you're up. God, I've never failed so much. I'm out of its range now. Yeah. You are currently just out of its range. What do you mean? Okay, I'm going to back up a bit. I'm going to move me behind that and then move me the other direct, the other pillar. Oh, this way? Head that way. Is it look like those chains are feeding it?

It doesn't look like it's feeding it more than just the are keeping it attached to the walls it moves before. The mass of the chains are still in its chest. And it has eyeballs. It has some sort of two glowing light sources within the massive chains that form where its head would be. Would a headshot to those eyeballs actually be a thing that might work?

You can try it. I'm going to try it. I'm going to burn a thing and see if that does it. Yeah, let's find out. You're up next, grog. All right. Yeah, that'll do. 32 hit. 32 hits. All right, that's D10 and D6. That's 11 points of damage and three points of psychic damage.

Okay. And it has to make a Constitution savings thorough? It does not actually, because that is not affected by that effect. Its eyes can shift throughout its body, so... There's no like snapping, crack breaking the glass? Nope. Man, he's made me burn a grit. That sucks. Even with its spell advantage against all the sanctuary saves, it just doesn't have very high wisdom. That's okay. I'm gonna take a sharpshooter shot at it and just keep damaging it. So two more sharpshooter shot? That was shot one.

Shot one, you have two more. Shot two. That's a 25. Hits. That's, ooh. 27 points of damage. And five psychic. Nice. 32, already. Last time. Another shot, same thing, Chuck Shooter. Yeah, I'm sorry. Do you have too many dice on there, man? That was awesome. Ah, so it could be worse.

11, 12, 3, 15. 14, okay. Does 14 hit? 14 is not hit, though. Oh, that was wild. And then I'm just going to like stay and try and keep an eye on everything that's happening and... Yeah.

All right, Keyleth, by the way, as you were moving through the chains, I forgot to mention earlier, as the tingling chains around it, you did suffer five points of bludgeoning damage, damage as the chains are just swirling around and the aura and the area of its vicinity just shreds like a slow moving grinder. As I move out. You're still in the cage. Yeah.

Okay, so I'm at... Brog, you're up. 60... Pettig, you're up. Where am I on the map? Right there. Oh, perfect. Yeah, door.

Smash it open, right? Yeah. All right, go for it. Goll and attack. Crack of Doom. Look at that. How long is it takes? Twenty-thirty.

Twenty-three hits. Inaction. Do I roll? Can I just roll damage for your hammer? Oh yeah, that makes sense, right. Nine. 25. 25 damage?

25 damage. 50 because of siege. The door is absolutely sundered and comes off. Oh, God. As the door blows open, you glance inside, you can see within the walls are covered in this like pulsy, fleshy, muscle-like substance with these long, stretched tendons and pieces of sinu that all gathered at the center. And you see this kind of shifting larval egg. and within you can see a small humanoid figure that is like swirling and writhing within.

It seems like it's in this perpetual state of agony screaming quietly within this weird fleshy egg sack. And you can see the features of like a tiger-like face and fangs just like writhing inside. I've got it. I have one more hit. Do it. Smash it. Get it. I'll stride forward and swing away.

Okay. As you step forward, the chain golem. I already use this reaction, so it cannot, you just walk forward, make an attack. Yes. Reckless, please. Yeah. Because why not? Live it up. That's a million.

It's 32. Roll damage. A million. Million. 22. It just spattered across the ground. What was once shifting is now a fine red cream As the true form of HOTUS partially returned

is now scattered across the steaming pavement of the depths of the Mentiri prison, the devil is no more. You are free from your curse. But now just to get out of here, because you hear the voices in the distance now, getting happening. Come on, come on, come on, come on, go, go on, go on.

Is it done? No, how much movement do I have left? That was you. The chains that were wrapping around you, which by the way did five points of bludging damage to you. It takes you half movement and move through that space. So it's five, ten, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty, twenty five, thirty. So can you move two more squares? Two more squares. I'll come back out the door and towards key lift. All right, that'll get you

about there. That's as far as you can get the chains are tangling you up and preventing you from moving so quickly. Oh, you can hold your action. Any grog's turn. Tarian. We're done. We're done. We have to poke out, plug out. A big we have to touch. Yeah. Oh, we have to be touching her. I'll move to Keyleth and say, Tova, are you coming with us? You have to, sort of. Where are you going? To another plane of existence.

But one without chain golems trying to kill you. I can't, I can't leave my friends. I have to try and find them. But. How? I don't know. This is, shh- Yep.

I'll go next to Keyleth. Okay, so you're stepping next to her over the grate? Yeah, I'll, I can make you invisible. I can make you fly. What would help you get out of here? I'll have that invisibility. Sure. Invisible. Invisible.

Visible bear. As Tova vanishes in the moment and is just this slight ripple in the air. Oh, you have a slight ripple figure. Phantom bear. Does he? We'll use this. Oh, there we go. There is like where you are.

Okay. It looks really cool. So Toba's form vanishes. How long does that last? Not a mess, but. Thanks. Just one minute. Oh, wait, in the minute you take damage,

you become visible again? Yeah, I'm not gonna take any more than. It's still last an hour. Yeah, it's up to now. Oh, hey, you could get out with a bat. Just try and take damage from the chains on the ground. Just like, okay, I gotta get . All right.

One step. No. All right, Vex. All right, I'm gonna run forward and try to get to, I'm gonna prink it in and run forward and try to get tequila. Okay. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. And that's as far as you can get right there.

Make a double dash? Yeah. All right. 25, 30, that's as far as you get. And you take eight points of bludgeoning damage from the chains and whipping around you and wrapping around your legs and tying you up as you're reaching forward, it's like this swamp of grinding metal. Great.

That ends your turn. Tova, you're invisible. If you do any actions, like attacks, you lose invisibility. I lose invisibility if I attack. Either you're going with them, or you're retreating into the prison and for better or worse. Can I run over pick up Vex and carry her over to her friends? 45. Is Vex down?

No. No, just she can't move anymore. Oh. 35. 40, you get right up next. to her right there, she's light enough. You lift her up, and you can make a dash action to bring her over for half speed. Five, ten, ten, fifteen, twenty. Fifteen, twenty. You get her just, just there within range of Keeleth.

I'm so confused. I was just got carried by an invisible pair. You take five points bludging damage, reduced to half because you're in your bare form, so you take two points bludging damage. I feel very nostalgic for some reason as she's doing this. It's just just He's like, very comfortable for me. Aw. The Golem's turn now. Oh, God. Am I on the ground?

Forward. No. Did you put me down or am I shown you? Yeah, I put you down. Okay. I mean, unless you want to be like kind of airplane about it. I'm not opposed, but.

The Golem is going to make a chain prison attack. Oh, God. A chain prison? Yes. Oh, yeah. This way. He's really going to just try to kill us before we can get out of here.

It's going to, let's see here. Who's still over there? It's going to get Percy, Keyleth, and Tarian. Oh, shitballs. I need you guys to all make dexterity saving throws. Come on, come on. Don't fuck me, Gil. Oh, that's good, Gil.

I'm feeling lucky. Thank God, 20. 20. That's exactly what you needed. 19 plus 4, 23. Percy? It's a dext saving throw. And 20 is what we need. I'm going to use a resolve.

I'm gonna use a resolve and see if I can make this work. Okay. Nope, same thing, 17. 17. So everyone else, you guys both manage to just break free. Percy, you are restrained. All right. God, damn it. As the chain swirl and wrap around your legs and torso

when you find yourself bound in place. If we make a chain. Yeah, if we make a chain, we can reach over to him. Oh, ironic. Oh my God, like Guardians of the Galaxy, you guys. Oh, my God. All right, instead. Kieleth, your turn. I am holding my turn and just reaching out

and trying to make this chain as much as I can. So you're beginning, you're beginning casting the spell and holding the release of it until. As soon as everyone links hands, we're out. Can I do a- At the start of your turn, you take nine points bludgeoning your damage from the chains that are swirling around you? That's fine.

Can I do a bonus action to heal who's looking rough? You. He'll your self. You. You. Just heal your fucking self. Okay. I'm at 59 hit points.

I'm going to heal myself. So second level healing word? Yeah. First level. Second level is two. That's four plus another three. Seven plus six, thirteen. You heal 13.

And you begin casting plane shift. You pull out out of your side touch of the tuning fork that you have attuned to where. Where are you going to be casting this towards? 73. Sorry, 73 hit points. What location are you shifting towards? Keyleth, as you begin this. Oh, please, not that music.
