Hello there, it's Liam O'Brien, and you're listening to Part 2 of this episode from the Critical Role Podcast Network.
If you haven't checked out part one yet, pause this now and head over there first.
Otherwise, enjoy part two.
All righty.
Oh, my God.
I've got to take this off.
Yeah, you're going.
They're not.
Some of them are.
Some of them are.
Oh, really?
Don't do it.
The cupcakes are.
No.
Look one.
The cupcakes are real, the cards are not.
Don't eat it.
Oh.
There's the other chat.
Oh, no.
You don't know where those have been.
You really don't.
I put my glasses.
I have hair
I just throw it
Okay
How do we win
Our dress is like a challenge
Raging 5
It really is
Is that pissed? Oh we have a map
Oh wow
We are a map
Oh it's the ceremony
So
First and foremost
Oh God
Look at the big feet
Let's go
Go ahead and drop his Sharnay onto the battle.
She's huge!
Oh no.
Wait, what?
Show us to Sharnay.
Ah!
I would like you all to roll initiative.
Let's go!
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Oh, there she is.
That's okay, that's okay.
That's okay.
That's okay.
That's good.
All righty, so 25 to 20.
Hang on, hang on, let me think for a second.
22?
Okay.
Oh.
Okay.
14 plus 8 is also 22.
Oh, baby.
Rollies.
Rollies, let's go.
All right.
Let's go, sentinel bitches.
Three.
All right.
Two.
All right, so.
Josh is up first.
Josh is up first.
I don't know.
if that's ever happened.
Nice.
All righty.
And then we have 25 or 20 to
so Yasha then Bo.
All righty.
20 to 15.
2015?
17.
17.
17.
Veth.
That's it?
All right.
Yikes.
15 to 10.
14.
Eleven.
Twelve.
All right.
Oh.
Caleb Ford and Jester.
You can leave all these witches.
That's right.
Just go into the honeymoon suite?
Seven.
Yay.
Glad you're consistent.
You know.
So here amongst this empty space
where the wedding once was, this Sharna
Curled, gnarled arms, with bow regard to one side,
having gotten one solid blow, and jester to the other.
Yasha, you're up first with bow on deck.
What do you want to do?
Okay, so I'm gonna start with my bonus action,
and I'm going to unleash a battle cry
so that everyone within 60 feet will have advantage
on attack rolls and saving throws.
All right.
You shout out that fury that released you
now doubles over into a secondary bellowing cry.
All of you feel invigorated,
except for Caleb, unfortunately, who's somewhere.
Okay.
Advantage on attack rolls and saving throws for the next round.
For the next round.
Saving throws?
All right.
That's your bonus action, Yasha?
That's my bonus action, so first attack.
All right. You're not raging yet because you used it to do that.
Shit.
It was a good move.
That's all right.
It was a good move.
Okay. Yeah, that's all good.
I'm going to take a stab.
I'm going to take a stab.
All right.
22?
22 just hits.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Did you say 22 just hits?
Yeah.
All right.
So here we go.
We got.
Woohoohoo.
That's double sixes.
All right.
plus we got Divine Fury.
All right, that's all right.
Okay, so we got 12.
Really good roll.
14, plus, okay, 14 plus 13.
Sorry, guys.
This is exciting math.
27.
Action math.
So that's 27 points of slashing damage.
All right.
Six points of fire damage.
Okay, reduced to three.
Plus an additional 13 points from...
Nope, nine points.
I'm sorry, because I'm not raging.
Right.
All right.
All right.
Does that include your...
That does not include Radiant Soul, so plus another 20.
Whoa!
59 points of damage on the opening round of battle from Yasha.
All right.
That's your first strike?
Yes.
A heavy carved through a sharding.
It impacts.
You can see kind of like the protective ruins around her body,
the magical cords that are wrapped around her
and her two companions kind of flash at the impact,
leaving a bit of a carved, dark splatter of blackened blood across the ground.
Seemed like a big hit, but she takes it like a champ.
Keep going.
Second hit.
Ooh, that's good.
That's better.
Uh, uh, 16 plus 15.
Go ahead and roll damage.
31.
Okay.
Here we go.
Okay.
11 points of slashing.
Another two points of fire, which I know she's...
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Plus nine.
All righty.
Yes.
There's 21 points of damage on that round.
Okay. Thank you for that.
Good looking out.
Awesome.
Two heavy hits in that round.
Asharnay, like, for the first time, really clocks your presence.
It was like, nice try.
But even I don't know who you are, let alone her.
That finishes your turn.
Beauregard, you're up.
Okay.
Whereabouts am I on the map?
Can I get around to the cages on her back of the other two witches?
If you want to, yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to move around.
And I'm going to swing.
So we said we know one's, one which his name is, I don't know.
Sage.
No, Sage is the sharnine.
Arithonia.
Arethonia.
E-R-Y-T-H-I-O-N-A.
Yeah, bitch.
Aretha Franklin.
I'm going for Aretha.
First hit.
And I got advantage on these, right?
Yes.
All right.
They do have half cover.
So yeah, because they're partially in the baskets,
that's plus two to their AC.
They have half cover?
That's okay.
Bishes.
Okay.
That's going to be a 26 hit.
That hits.
All right.
Let's just go ahead and do it one at a time
just because of everything.
Great.
That is going to be 12 points of damage.
12 points of damage.
All righty.
So impact.
This is this for your fister with your staff?
With my staff, with the belabor.
Heavy staff, you like leap, kind of climbing up in the air,
wham, crack onto it as you impact the chains
that currently keep them bound inside, like flare back
and it seems to rebuff it.
It impacts, and there is like some give,
but you get the sense that they're actually
also protecting them somewhat, so they take half damage.
They're protecting them?
The chains are.
The chains are protecting them.
Okay, I'm going to shout out to everybody.
These chains have like a protective.
force field or something, and I'm going to take my staff, spin it over, and whack to the other
the other witch in the cage.
Let's go.
She's always shouting things at us mid-combat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is my feat, anti-metagaming.
Okay, and that one misses.
But unfortunately, I am going to go ahead and just do Flurry of blows.
Let's go.
Two more attacks.
Two more attacks because I've got advantage here.
That one just hits at 22.
22.
And then for the second attack.
They have a plus two to their armor class
because they are half cover, so it's 24.
Son of a bitch.
Okay, where the first one misses,
the second one does hit at 29.
That does hit.
Okay.
And then, okay, here's my question.
Yes.
Okay, first and foremost, that is going to be, for my unarmed, strikey strikes,
is going to be 10 points of damage.
If I do extract aspects on these witches, and the ones on the cage,
will it get something different?
You can one way to find out?
Yeah, I'll extract aspects on this last one.
They are also resistant to cold fire and psychic.
Okay.
And they are immune to blind, charm, and fright.
But not stunned.
Is this the one?
Is this one that's...
They're not immune to stun.
They're not immune to stun.
They're not immune to stun.
Can I stunning striker?
You want to, yeah.
Stunning strike.
All right, Constitution.
Saving throw, natural 20.
Oh.
Next time, next time.
Wait, Caduce is, can you do something about that?
What? Wait, I was looking at the, there's a...
Can you negate the natural 20?
These are like evil donuts.
I'm at the bottom of the...
Can't you want to get into a natural 20, or are you going to save it?
Oh, I can't save yours.
I can't save it.
can stop someone else's.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh.
But it has been an attack.
It has to be.
Yeah, it's an attack as opposed to a safe.
The witch.
Got it.
Okay, okay, okay.
Well, I pout about that and then I stand nearby and don't move.
All right.
So there, as you kind of hold the back point to Ishaar and her companions,
it's not going to be the companions go.
Both of them still bound.
You watch as Asharnai kind of the heavy impact from Yasha
spits out the black blood on the ground and looks up.
She reaches her hand up, and the hand begins to glow.
The chains around the two other figures begin to glow,
and they both together go, the collars in their throats glow widely.
And you watch as Sharnay pulls power and life force and arcana
from the companions, and her wounds begin to heal.
Oh, she's so mean to them.
Roll 2D10 for me.
Me?
Yeah.
Me?
A total?
Total of 10.
I got a 9 and a 1.
Great.
So that's a plus 5.
Both of them take 15 points of damage.
And Asharnay regains 60.
60?
I don't think we can kill her.
We got to take out the witches.
So.
Bo? Bo? Bo, me. Bo? No.
Oh, Bo.
You watch as the majority of the wounds that Yasha had just inflicted
begin to stitch up and sew together.
Son of a bitch.
And a slow chuckle kind of growls from under her throat.
That changes one time.
All right. That's going to finish their go at the end of their turn.
Asharnay is going to go ahead and use legendary action
to use a dooming claw attack.
Shit.
On you, Beauregard.
That's gonna, fucking another natural 20.
Oh.
And no.
You can do something about that?
No.
What's the range on it?
My range is, I believe, 30 feet.
I'm pretty sure.
No.
No.
Looking for it.
Sorry.
Uh.
Yeah.
We're getting married.
I'm getting married.
I know, I'm working on it.
Yeah, 30 feet.
But 30 feet from Bo, not from the witch.
Unfortunately, you're too far away.
So Beauregard, for this,
dooming claw, you take.
You got this.
He's a badass bitch.
You ain't worried.
Shit.
Oh boy, this is gonna.
I don't like this.
Now you're worried.
Why's he doing that face?
That's going to be on plus.
76 points of force damage.
And you feel like a fraction of your destined luck
is pulled from your body as the Sharnai gains,
a luck point under your name.
She's mean. Oh, my God. Are we going to die at the wedding?
All right. Beth, you're up.
Jester, I change your mind. Be her best friend.
Yeah, you change your mind.
Veth will, oh boy, I should probably do damage.
But I'll run up to Ford.
Ford, I have to confess, I forgot to get you a wedding present.
I'm so sorry.
So instead, I'm going to give you something now, haste.
Okay.
You are hasted.
And now I will use my bonus.
my bonus action to run and hide.
You are hasty there, Ford.
You're going to run and hide which direction?
Closer to the hags, but I'm going to pick a table,
like a cocktail table, and see if I can scoot under the...
It was like benches where people were sitting.
You could easily kind of try and dive and roll under
and vanish beneath them.
All right, go ahead and roll stealth check for me.
Afton Fadonk under there.
30.
You feel fairly hidden.
Great.
You're tiny and easy to fold.
All right, so that finishes your go.
Veth is done.
You are a hasted forward.
However, at the end of Veth's go, Sharnah
is going to use legendary action.
It's going to use three of them.
Oh.
She has four legendary action.
Whoa.
To cast a spell.
No.
She's going to cast Entropic Swarm.
Oh, I hate it.
A ninth level twist on Meteor Swarm.
Oh, I hate it.
Ninth level?
Fuck.
What am I going to do?
In the blackened cloud space above,
you hear this shattering sound,
like thousand glass houses shattering into a million separate pieces.
And you watch as the smoke instead becomes millions of tiny glass spears
that all rain down onto the battlefield.
What?
For the radius of this, it's going to avoid Beauregard, because Ms. Arna doesn't want to hit herself.
But it does hit everything else in that radius.
I need a dexterity saving throw from everybody but Caleb and Beauregard.
Do we get advantage on these?
Yes.
You do.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh.
That's a D12.
Thank you.
I'm going to stick with it.
Ah!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Wait.
Natural 20.
You take 41 points of...
Okay.
Necotic and piercing damage.
Holy man.
Wait.
You're not raging.
Fucking dumbass.
All right.
So 41 points of damage.
Caduce's?
Does that mean that that's actually half damage
of the effect or no?
Yes.
In that case, natural 20 plus shield master evasion.
That would be no damage, right?
That means no damage.
Nice.
Describe to me how you avoid this terrifying spell.
I see this all coming down, and I just managed to...
Where am I?
I just managed to find a little bit of cover
just next to a small pile of donuts,
and I've got that shield up, and I am...
You hear the...
...feeling it, everything, just hitting.
it and roll off. The sound of a thousand tiny accelerated pins firing towards your shield.
It's like the sound of a week-long rainstorm in the matter of seconds against your roof.
That's full donut cover.
You avoid it.
Veth? No hole.
The bridal party is very lucky. Also natural 20.
And with evasion, you take no damage.
No damage.
That's insane.
I hide under a pile of traveler pamphlets.
And they protect me.
Can't pierce the truth.
Oh, and.
Oh, wait, it didn't affect me. Never mind. Keep going.
I rolled a 17.
A 17. You take 82 points of necrotic and piercing damage.
Oh, my goodness.
Fort?
22.
22.
You take 82 points of piercing and necrotic damage.
Wow.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.
As the battlefield now is littered with all of these shards of piercing glass
before they dissipate and seem to be reabsorbed in the shadow above.
Matthew, was that a spell?
That was.
Can I try, this is not going to work, can I try spell thief?
Sure, remind me what that does?
If I am in the range of a spell,
I can steal it if they fail a DC-17.
I don't know what the check is, hold on one second.
Spell casting ability modifier.
Okay, gotcha.
That's gonna be charisma.
Let's see, let's see.
Oh, that's a 14.
Oh, that's a 14.
Oh!
Oh!
So I have that spell now.
So you what?
I have that spell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Unless I burn a legendary resistance.
Oh, my.
Not for you.
Get out of here.
Go back to off Broadway.
No, no, you burned a legendary.
I did. I did.
You did.
All right, great. That's going to finish her
legendary action.
Now it's a Sharney's turn.
Now it's Asharnai's turn.
Ah!
She gets all her legendary actions back.
Ah!
But she has burned that ninth level slot, her only one.
Ishaarai is going to leap into the air, kind of almost grabbing the side of the pillar as it kind of creaks slightly and then is going to attempt to land behind Beauregard.
It's not actually leaving Beauregard's battle.
However, it will leave your combat field, Yasha.
You have Sentinel.
Sentinel, Bich!
Yes, I do!
Okay.
Make an attack roll.
Okay.
All right.
Come on.
Am I adding anything?
I'm adding my...
She's your tech role.
My regular talk.
Okay.
Just making sure.
Fuck.
It's a one.
20s and ones.
We're getting the spectrum here.
Sharnay leaps behind.
Damn it.
Beauregard there.
And is going to make two doaming
Claw attacks on Beauregard and then is going to do a crackling wave strike.
So against you, Bo, that's going to be a 20 to hit you.
Miss.
That's going to be a 33 to hit?
Yeah.
Oh.
OK.
So for that one, you take.
Oh, boy.
32 points of force damage.
Okay.
And takes another luck point from you, from that strike.
It has two on you.
And then now it's going to do crackling wave.
You watch the Shah and I goes, I will keep her.
You will die.
Slams her fist in the ground.
You watch this weird blue energy begins to crackle
through her entire body.
Now she slams her claw to the ground, waved.
waves of energy begin to burst outward in a massive cone.
Should we counter spell this?
We don't have Caleb yet.
Caleb is gone.
We have Caleb back yet.
I'm gone.
Everybody except for Caduceus and Caleb
Yeah, Ford's got it.
Has to make a dexterity saving throw.
Counter spell.
At what level?
It's a fifth.
All right.
Go ahead and roll.
Roll D20 and add your spell casting modifier.
Come on.
Actually, no, fifth level would do it.
Honestly, like, it's...
Yeah, fifth level would do it.
It's right at fifth level.
There's other things above that that would you have to roll for it,
but that's just a magical ability that's about fifth level exists.
So as the energy begins to...
It immediately fades away as you kind of...
reach into yourself and with the sight of the now still kind of magically superimposed
Wild Mother's Lighthouse looking down upon you, you find the strength to rob that magical wave
of its disastrous intent.
Boy. That's going to end Asharnas' turn. With that, we come to Caleb with Ford on deck.
Caleb, what would you like to do? Okay, so when you teleported him here, a bunch of
conversation happened afterwards. So in that time, Caleb ripped a tiny hole in space and
his entire spell book plopped out of it because Essek has helped him perfect wrist pocket over
the years. I bet he has. And this was after like 10 seconds of rapid thinking and he just starts
rifling through the pages as fast as he can and stops, not at the very beginning of the book, but
not too far from the beginning, on a page of spell exploration and all.
also a bunch of dicks that Jester of John and lollipops.
And there's also a little doodle of Caleb on this page and his, for that time, uncharacteristically
smiling.
And Caleb thinks of Jester, beautiful on her special day, in love, happy, deserving of the
man she loves, and he rubs his thumb across that drawing of Caleb.
And I cast Teleport, touching the ink, her shitty ink, on my high-quality,
paper and teleport to her side.
Unairingly so. Caleb appears right
beside
Jester and Yasha in a
of fire and suddenly he's back.
What is going on? We're getting attacked.
Basket people. Basket people!
That's it for me. Break the basket.
That finish is your turn.
Sean Ann is going to go ahead and take
a legendary action. All right.
to Doomclaw again on Beauregard.
I thought she, so she has four legendary actions?
Yeah.
She's trying to take me down, man.
Yeah.
That's going to be 21 to hit.
That's my AC.
All right.
I'm going to take you out.
Yeah.
With that, you, oh, that's not too real.
You take 29 points of force damage.
Okay.
And a third luck point is grabbed from Beauregard.
Oh my gosh.
It's all right. We have one cleric here.
That brings us to Ford with Jester on deck.
Radio and Ford.
I stand up, having countered her spell,
and I try and stay in the light,
but seeing parts of Jester's wedding dress dishevelled,
the darkness starts to take over,
and my eyes blacken over.
I summon Dweffar as I start striding towards Ashahnai.
I'll use 40 feet of my speed to close on her.
Can I get within...
You're hasty.
You're hasty, so you can get there really.
What you want?
80 beat.
Yep.
I'm right in there.
I'm going to, I'm going to take three swings with Dwebva the Star Raised.
With their hasted speed, you could get behind her and flank with Beauregard.
Let's go.
Mind you, all of your attacks have advantage right now because of Yasha.
So up to you.
Okay.
That is 25 to hit.
That hits.
That's still D-12.
Thank you. Second one.
one is a 19. Oh, I should have, that's a 33 to hit.
33 to hit. That definitely hits. Did you want it to?
Not yet. Okay, just double-checking. It's been a minute, so I wanted to check it.
I should have done it though, because that's also a natural 19 for a 33 to hit.
And on that one that hits, I'm going to pump divine smite into that one as well.
Yep.
Yes.
So that will be a 1D10.
There's 8 is 16.
14.
14 and 8.
28.
Now is it Faye Fiend or Undead for that extra D8?
18.
30.
32 points of damage.
Sorry?
Is it just Feet Fiener undead for that extra D8?
It's just undead.
That's what I thought.
So 33 points of damage.
On the first hit?
On the all three of the Star Razor hits.
Yeah.
And then on the last one.
It's fine.
You're so pretty for it.
29.
31 points of divine smite damage.
Ooh, 64 points of damage out of that first try.
With my bonus action was divine smite.
So now I'll use my hasted action to pump four Eldridge blast.
Let's go.
Okay, that is, first one is a,
God, natural 19, if I had just done my aldrichs,
it's fine, it's all good, it's all good.
31 to hit.
That definitely hits.
Second one is a 26 to hit.
That hits.
24 to hit.
That hits.
And a 29 to hit.
That hits.
5, 8, 10, 15, this, 13, 4, 2, 6, 0,000,
oh, plus 6, so that's 29 points of damage, 32 points of damage
for Alder's Blast.
That is 96 points of damage in an opening round of combat for it.
Damn.
While Yasha's blow was mostly healed, you came in and reopened that wound quite steadily,
and the two of you now are standing on opposite sides of her, or a Beauregardine, and both of you
side by side with Yasha behind Blade at the ready.
Sharnay's, you know, showing an open wound.
Does that finish your turn forward?
Yes.
All right, end of your turn.
I'm going to spend a second legendary action to malicious magic, to Dimension Door, to Jester.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Damn it.
Can I sentinel that?
Unfortunately, it's a teleport, so no.
However, that does bring us to Jester's turn with Caduceus on deck.
Okay.
She's hitting some of us pretty hard, yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't think it's time for...
Okay, I'm...
Oh, God.
I don't want to be a caloric, though.
It's your wedding day. You do what you do.
You do whatever you do.
Do what you want, girl.
Only the dead will judge you.
Ah.
Wow.
Incredible.
You're right after me.
You're such a healer.
Yeah.
It's your special day.
What do you want to do, Jester?
Okay.
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I'm going to...
I hated...
I'm going to...
Attack!
Power word fortify.
Okay.
Pretty cool.
And I'm shut up, you guys.
And with the six creatures I can see within 60 feet of me,
I can cast temporary hit points on you and get you up some.
So, Vaux, I'm going to give you so many.
You're down how much?
I'm down, like, three quarters of my health.
I don't know what that means.
Okay.
Say the number.
I'm going to heal you 80 hit point.
80 is killer.
Or give you 80 temporary hit points.
Killer.
And then I'm going to give myself the rest.
Sorry, guys.
That's our gesture.
Respect.
Is that your turn? Do you want to move or stay put?
Ah, I want, she's going to hit me.
Probably.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm going to try to run away from her.
Okay.
Which direction?
I'm going to, oh, wait, I'm going to try just to run around to the backside so that somebody can get at least flanking.
There?
Yeah.
All right.
As you kind of dart around, kind of leaping over, you barely see Veth
of the corner of your eye, underneath one of the nearby benches.
I'm going to look up at the little witches in the basket.
Do you want to get out?
Would you like to leave?
They both just shoot you a look.
I can't tell what that means.
I know.
And of your turn, Asharnan is going to spend another legendary action to,
as you dart around, kind of tracking you,
she's going to grab the amulet,
and the chain gets longer than you think and reaches back to smack you with it.
I need you to make a charisma saving throat.
Oh.
You have advantage.
Okay.
Come on.
Big money, big money.
This is a 26.
Yay.
That's a success.
I will wear you down.
I will strip you of all of them.
That's going to finish the reaction to that.
Caduceus, you're up with Yasha on deck.
How bad are we all feeling?
We're fine.
was fine.
Don't worry about me.
All right.
So in the meantime, I'm going to, hmm.
You good?
I'll try something unusual.
Look, I healed so you get to attack Caduceus.
Yeah, I'm going to do a.
Isn't that cool?
That is.
But you forget, I don't really, I don't do that.
So what I'm going to do instead is I'm going to set up
a, I'm going to get close enough within 30 feet
to set up a, where do we go?
Path to the Grave Channel Divinity,
which means the next time someone hits her,
she's vulnerable to.
So double damage from the next.
Yeah, double damage, double damage from the next hit.
Oh, great.
To Asharnai?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
All righty, so that's your action?
Any bonus action?
For my bonus action, I don't really think I have anything particularly fun.
Yeah, considering that I just did that, she's going to be pissed.
I'm going to use my hidden step to vanish as I run by.
Okay.
So you turn.
Inevisible.
I'm in Inevisible after, and I'm going to book right around her.
All right, well, it took you 20 paces to get there, so you have 10 more feet of movement.
Yeah, I'll get, just put me somewhere where I'm not in a group.
But still within, like, 30 feet of movement.
everybody in.
All right.
I'll do it.
All right.
That's my roll.
That finishes your go.
At the end of your turn,
it's going to use your last legendary action
to strike back again at you, Jester, with the amulet.
I need you to make another Christmas saving throw.
All right.
Geez.
No, I lost one!
That's fine.
I saved it.
Wow, thank you.
Mm.
No, that was better.
I rolled a 17.
17.
Could you please roll a D8 for me?
Oh.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
No, I don't like it.
I rolled another four.
Does that mean the Asha's gone again?
That means you roll again?
Oh.
One?
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
It's going to read you?
At first, it was the book.
No!
The thoughts of Oscar.
The Hands of Oscar.
The handsome captain, who appeared from nowhere and showed you more to life than dick jokes and pranks,
and the traveler himself even took a back seat to the love and support this man gave you.
What was his name?
Oh.
So mean.
You look to your groom and see a stranger.
God, that guy is hot.
Ashana just goes, yes.
Kind of glances at.
What are you doing later, huh?
Getting married?
Okay, never mind.
With that, Yasha, you're up with Bo on deck.
All right.
I want to do something called...
Rage! There we go!
You are raging, Yasha.
All right, first hit, first hit, first hit.
First hit.
Advantage.
Do I still?
Well, no.
I think it's over now.
That's faded now.
However, you do have flanking with Beauregard.
Okay, so that was pretty good though.
Okay, 28 to hit.
That hits.
The first hit.
Great.
All right, all right, here we go.
Let's start here.
All right, that's not awesome.
You know what?
I'm going to do Savage Attacker and I'm going to re-roll.
Let's go.
Those were ones.
Same exact roll, that's awesome.
Are you for real?
Yeah, that's okay.
All right, so we got, okay, let me add this together.
Okay, so that's 20 slashing.
20.
Plus.
Plus.
Oh, actually.
Okay, 11 points of radiant damage.
Okay.
And let me do my D8.
Plus your 20 because it's your first hit of the next round.
My 20.
Thank you.
50.
Plus 3 for fire.
Okay, so 51 points of damage.
But I have, yeah, I have my plus 13 for raging and my plus 20 from...
The 20 I added.
Does that make it to 64, then?
64 points of damage.
Yeah, but then, double.
High.
Doubled, double.
That's 100.
128 points of damage.
Let's go.
All right, all right, all right.
We can do that.
We can do that.
That is a massive,
is Sean and I, at which point has taken a few hits
and still grinning, focused on Jester,
focused on robbing her of everything that matters.
This hit draws all of her attention,
an ire as you carve down with your blade clutching her chest.
Now you can see the bone itself exposed from the somewhat like dark green and gray skin
that's pulled away and just, like, oh.
What's up, bitch?
I'm gonna take my second shot.
Let's go.
All right.
It's pretty good.
Okay, uh, 25.
That hits, right?
It hits, yeah.
Okay, okay.
I certainly hope it hits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Oh, that's so much better.
Okay.
That would be, oh, let me hit roll my fire damage.
Okay, four.
So we have 11 points of slashing,
four points of fire damage,
plus 33, which is 20 from Radiant Soul and 13.
Well, radiance only get once per...
Oh, that's right, that's right.
Okay, so it's...
And for the Radiant, you also can.
get your one attack per round.
So it's just your weapon damage.
I didn't do that one.
I just did my, my, oh, I don't have fire.
Well, no, your radiant damage, you only get once per round also.
Yes, that's gone.
OK.
So what was the total now?
The total was 11 slashing, plus your raging and.
Plus my raging, plus the four of fire damage.
OK, let's be 10.
All right, 20.
All right, cool.
A heavy round of damage on a Sharna, who is just like, no.
The curled double-bent arms kind of pop out, the claws at the ready.
I will eat of your destinies.
One by one you'll be forgotten, and I will feast on your corpse.
Does that finish your turn?
Yeah.
All right.
Doesn't have any more legendary actions.
But regard, you're up.
Enraged as this bitch has fucked me up and she also fucked my dad up.
We all have connections to this hag.
I am going to like clinch my fists in my head throws back as my eyes turn white.
And I am going to take my action to do empty body and spin four key points.
You see as Beau's eyes gloss over white from her.
her head down, it follows into the rest of her body, and Bo goes invisible.
I also have resistance to all damage, minus force, for one minute.
So Bo is invisible and resistant.
Whoa.
I am now going to sprint across the damage field and take my bonus action to do Flurry
blows. I'm going to target Asharni in this instant.
Well, here's the note.
She's starting to believe. I think if Flurry blows, you have to make the attack action to Flurry.
Oh, yeah, probably right.
Okay, I will then still move up.
Can I get to a point where I can still flank other people?
Sure, I mean, Josh is here and Jester's flanked.
You could try and flank on the opposite side.
There's nobody on the other side right now,
but you could leave that space if you want.
Yes, that makes sense.
And then I will instead use my bonus action to do patient defense.
That you can do.
All right, that finishes your go, Beauregard.
That's it.
It is now the two witches' turn.
Asharni, at this point, wounded, goes,
I'll draw the ancient knowledge of my coven.
Come, Rithjona, there are chaos.
I will draw from you, our purpose.
And as she raises her hand up, as it is their turn,
to magic siphon from each bound member.
You know what?
Ford, go ahead and roll 2D6 for me, please.
No problem.
Seven.
Seven.
All right, Isharnai regains some spell slots.
She's only spent one.
Well, she regains her ninth level slot.
Oh.
God damn.
Sucks.
Okay.
Coven's useful, y'all.
That's going to finish their turn.
Veth, you're up.
Veth, you're up.
From my cover, my hiding cover,
I'm going to poke my head out,
and I am going to see the woman
who took two years of my life from me,
and I'm going to fire with a fury and rage
right at her butt.
Aim for that, Tookish.
You got an advantage on this strike
because you were hidden.
Crossbow bolt, up the butt.
Oh, first bonus action to bless my bolt
with Brannato's Voltaic Bolt.
Let's go.
I rolled a 26 to hit.
That definitely hits.
Go ahead and roll damage with sneak attack.
Oh yeah. Oh, God.
So many.
Okay.
Oh, plus another.
Do you?
39 points of damage.
39 points of damage.
All right.
And I get to, it shoots again.
Wait, no, I just use my bonus action.
You did.
Sh poop.
Shippoop.
But the, but it does,
and shocks through the back.
Rubbing it like a bad BBL.
She's,
where that come from?
Who did this?
I know you.
Oh no.
Oh, you.
Oh, you.
I can put you right back in the body.
I sent you.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
It looks towards Jester from behind.
That finishes your turn?
All right.
Oh, no.
That brings us now to a Shaanai's turn.
She gets her legendary actions back.
Oh, my God.
From where she's standing, she is going to use her multi-attack
due to dooming claw strikes.
on. Let's see here.
Yeah, that Sentinel's making it sticky.
All right, just going to go ahead and make two claw attacks
against Beth.
You've revealed yourself.
Sentinel.
Yeah, go for it. That's going to be 23 to hit.
Oh, yeah.
Shield?
Shield.
Shield.
All right, so that...
Caleb taught me this one.
You got it.
Second attack, the same roll.
So no damage on that one.
Not this time.
Both attacks averted.
So it's two attacks.
Your attack was...
A 26 hit.
26 hits, roll damage.
Okay.
Wait, am I close within five feet, too?
You are.
So do I get attack as well?
Sure.
All right.
Yeah.
Since this isn't the leaving the area sentinel attack, this is the...
You didn't hit us.
Yeah.
20 total.
That misses, unfortunately.
Nine points of damage.
However, I would like to hit her and then do debilitating barrage.
Okay.
Because all I have to do is hit her with an unarmored attack.
It doesn't have to happen on my turn, correct?
That's correct.
All right. So I'm going to spend three key points.
Oshar and I is going to become vulnerable to radiant damage.
for one minute or until radiant damage happens next.
Uh-oh.
Let's fucking go, bride to be.
All righty.
You got it.
So the next time she takes radiant damage, she'll take double.
With that, the end of the two strikes she's going to finish,
she'd either choose crackling wave or destined tragedy.
She's going to choose destined to tragedy.
She's going to spend all three luck points that she had amassed on Beauregard.
Bo Regard, could you please make a constitution saving throw?
Dying.
Sounds like a K-pop.
Even though I'm invisible?
Yeah.
Do she need line of sight for this?
No.
Cool.
Shit.
As she puts her hand up,
and you see these three little dark beads of faint energy,
the same color as your key and her grip,
and she holds it up,
crushes them with her fist.
So go ahead and roll that.
You do not have an advantage anymore.
So because she is using my luck point,
I have to make a Constitution set?
Correct.
She's using all three.
All right.
Oh.
I'm going to use a diamond sold to re-roll.
I'll take the first one instead.
It's 17?
17 fails.
No, no.
Okay.
Beauregard, you drop to zero hit points.
Oh!
What?
Even with their temporary ones?
It's not about temperate.
It's not taking damage.
As she crushes these beads of fate in her hand,
Beauregard, you use.
feel the very chord of your soul almost sever and your entire essence blinks to darkness.
You all watch as Beauregard just after this transformation onto the ground.
The Shawnee goes, who's next?
As a bonus action, she's going to use conjure tangle.
is going to amass a web of vines in this area here that is going to get both Veth and Yasha.
You are both, if you start your turn in this area, you become, we have to make a strength
saving throw or become restraint.
With that, Ishaanai is going to go ahead and move.
Agreed.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, spin around that way.
Because you already use your reaction to hit.
You cannot set in a lower in place.
It's going to back away that way.
That's going to finish her turn.
Caleb, you're up.
She got her witches in a bag?
Yeah, well, they're both in baskets,
and they're, like, chained and attached to her
with these, like, magical chains that seem to both hold them and protect them.
Cool.
To quote the great Talus and Jaffe, let's get weird.
get weird.
I love you.
Caleb turns at this terrible presence, ruining my best friend's day, and I will say,
Artegan, where the hells are you?
And I will use Wish to cast Temple of the Gods.
cleric spell open to me through wish, 120 feet on each side. One door where I choose
to place it, the decor looks like anything I want, which is translucent. It's hard to see
through. It is green, but just able to see through it like green glass. There is a large
statue of Artagan, bending over shining his ass. At the doorway,
which is on the side of this newly formed shimmering temple opposite Asharnai.
She is outside the temple. We are inside the temple.
Faye must make a role to enter. If they fail, they can't come in.
If they succeed, they are basically baneed while they're inside,
and all of our healing spells in here get a small buff.
But again, she's got to travel all the way around to the...
the door opposite her from this building.
Wait, so where's the door here?
Show me.
Okay.
I have been waiting for someone to fuck with this spell
for so long.
I love this spell so much.
And Caleb yells to the Mighty Nine,
Ready yourselves!
And aims his hand at the door.
His shardine goes,
Oh, not him.
Glances pass and you hear the voice boom,
but of course it's always me, me, me, me.
Like what you see, see, see.
That's rad.
All right, do you want to stay put?
Caleb, do you want to move?
Hey, you know, I'll move away from the door as much as possible
and maybe stand behind Yasha.
Good, good roll.
All righty, finishing you over the end of your turn.
She's going to go ahead and use a legendary action
to use malicious magic to Dimension Door.
Oh.
Right over there.
I'm sorry, it's just flavor, but I need to, I forgot one detail.
There are towers on four corners of this Temple of the Gods,
the Temple of Artagan, and you know that 1989 poster
for the Little Mermaid where the towers look vaguely like,
Dix. We got them.
Hell yeah, I love it.
A full quarter.
All right, that finishes your go, Caleb.
Ford, you're up.
How far away did Ashar and I teleport from where we are?
About 65-ish feet from you?
I'll use 40 of my feet to stride towards her,
and once I'm within 30 feet, I will use Hex Blades Curse
to have shadows and vines.
reach up from the ground and start to encircle her legs and her body.
And I will unleash another four Eldridge Blasts.
Yeah, Eldridge Blasts back towards her.
You got it.
Get her in the Gooch.
That's 21 to hit.
21. Chest misses.
23 to hit.
That hits.
24 to hit.
That hits.
Natural fucking 20.
Yes!
Two hits and a crit. Let's go.
Okay, that's five.
Number 15, 20, 20 points, second one.
Gold.
16, second one is nine, 18, plus five, four.
Nine.
But because it's Eldridge, Hexplay,
curse, they get plus three damage on all those, so three, six, nine.
I know, it's happening spontaneously.
So much math.
Forty-two points of Eldridge Blast damage.
Woo!
Amazing.
Arking through this kind of ethereal-looking temple to the glorious traveler itself,
framing through the doorway and slamming into parts of her body.
You see the cords kind of flare trying to resist the damage.
trying to resist the damage, but you can see.
She's starting to look pretty hurt.
There's a little wear and tear to Ashana.
That's my turn.
That finishes your turn.
And of your turn, she's going to use the last three legendary actions
to cast heel on herself.
No.
Counterspell!
Counterspell!
No.
That's true.
That's true.
Counterspell.
Can you regain 70?
Counterspell?
Sure.
What's the range on Counterspell?
It's...
Six feet, I believe.
50 feet, I believe.
Yeah, 60 feet.
60 feet.
You are within.
You are just within 60 feet.
She's going to use her reaction to use tongue twister.
She counters your counter spell.
What level were you casting it at?
Let's do eighth level.
All right.
She gets a plus nine to the roll.
So she has to beat an 18.
She has to roll a nine or higher on this D-20.
And she's outside the door, right?
Yes.
That's a five.
That's a fail.
It's like begins to conjure this twisted,
Faye energy to weave her wounds closed,
and then suddenly it just fetters out of her,
looks up through the door, right it to you, and goes,
Fowl wizard, huddle this grows longer and longer.
tongue twister.
All right.
Matt, I'm so sorry.
Also on that crit, I didn't double the 13,
and I also rolled an additional damage die
because of savage attacks, so it's 22 additional points of damage.
Oh, good or no, thank you.
It's been a minute.
It's all good, it's all good.
It was like 49 plus 22.
It's been a while.
All right.
All right.
Aha.
Yeah, okay, cool.
So you managed to counter that spell
and the tongue twister fails to try and rob you of that.
You feel this like swelling in the back of your tongue
for a second as the effect tries to reach for you
and you just shrug it off, no impact.
That finishes forwards go, Jester, you're up with Caduceus on deck.
How many spells could spell singers slain?
The thing that's still effective
or because she went to zero, does it go away?
The spell, the enchantment's still there.
She's just zero hit points with a lot of temporary hit points.
Yeah, so technically, because when I,
hit her, it put it on her, so it's still there.
Okay. Bonus to radio.
Okay, I'm going to...
Oh yeah, that is a status on her.
That's still going? Yeah.
Okay. Okay. Um, Jester's going to look down a bow.
No! And I'm going to stand up and I'm going to shove both my hands out.
And I'm going to cast Sunbeam.
Yes!
Woo!
Do you want to move or do you want to catch forward in this?
Oh, of course I'll move.
I can't do.
You don't know who he is.
You don't know who he is?
No, he seems like a hot guy.
I'm not going to .
All right, so you can move there.
Sunbeam!
But I'm going to cast it at eighth level.
Okay.
Maybe you should have saved that tongue twister.
Fair enough.
So does that Constitution saving throw?
It is.
All right.
That's going to be a 16?
19!
You're going to burn a legendary resistance.
Legendary resistance.
Oh.
Come on.
You bastard.
That's fine.
However, these, you'll notice with each of these resistances that she's done,
she seems to have drawn power from the coven attached to her back for each of these.
So.
It could be affecting them too, this one.
Or it could be, I'd say because you're not born yesterday.
This being is quite a few resistances at their disposal when the coven is present.
Yeah, we got it.
Okay, look, I can't upgrade a sunbeam, I just realized.
But I can cast sunburst at 8th level, so it still is...
Fair, let's go.
Let's go.
The 12d6.
12D6 have doubled, so it's just full damage on this.
Full damage.
Okay.
Okay.
So it'll go away after this.
Come on.
A lot of dice.
Come on, come on, come on.
I know, I know.
Come on.
Okay.
Come on.
Guys, check out the store.
39.
39 points of radiant damage.
Is that doubled?
No, because it would be halft, so now it's...
Oh, no, wait.
It's not Haft because she failed.
No, she used legendary resistance to succeed.
I remember.
That's okay, good looking out.
But it's 39 points of radium damage on her.
Heavy impact on the outside of this temple.
Kind of almost falls to one knee a little bit.
All of the creatures that I choose within a 60-foot radius.
So those Coven creatures would have taken damage, too, potentially.
I guess.
As is the mounted Coven ability, when Arithionians,
and Virichelos are each bound to Asharnay attacks
that don't directly target them, like AOE, count.
Only for her.
Only for her.
Good to know.
But as Asharnay takes the heavy impact,
and it falls to a knee here,
Vera Keos go like,
What's wrong, dear?
Are you losing this fight?
That'd be a real shame after all that planning.
And she goes like, you shut your trap!
And just, like, puts her hand up right there.
And once again, the other mouth gets, like,
she briefly muted one,
The other one's mouth gets shut again, like the eyes go wide.
All right, that's going to finish your go.
Jester.
Caduceus, you're up with Yasha on deck.
Just a reminder to everyone, because it's not on the map.
There is a wall extending in front of her.
She's at a choke point that's like 10 feet wide, just big enough for her to come in.
So if you're like 30 feet off to her left or 20 feet off to her left,
there's a wall there.
What do you want to move?
I'm going to move to the right so that I'm not in like a cone if she does a
Like this way?
Yeah, I'll do that.
Okay, that's on the edge of the temple.
Yeah, I mean, it's, right?
It's like this.
Oh.
Okay, yeah.
The only way she can get in.
Okay, great.
Yeah, so you move 10 feet to get out of Ford's way
and then 20 feet back this way to kind of pull to the side.
You got it.
All right, finishing that.
Caduceus, you're up with the Asha on deck.
Well, I, of course, reappear because I,
reappear because I was invisible.
Yep.
And I reappear staring right at her, right at the front of the door.
You're just a terrible friend.
Just, come on.
You don't know what she's done, what she left me.
I stab my staff directly into the ground, and I cast mass heel level, well, you know,
level 9.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
How many, what's your, what's your top?
How many hit points?
Oh, normally, $1.99.
You're at $199.
Okay, so that leaves me 501.
Who else needs some?
I could use 45.
You have 45?
That's, I'm doing math.
Who else needs some?
I could take 60 to 70.
70? All right, take 70, which is then,
8, 9, 10, 11. Which is what?
82. It was 82. So that becomes
790, 197. I have so many left.
I could take like 100.
Two, I'm making sure I'm not fucking this up.
Two, three, four. Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Yeah, take 100.
Feeling fine. Can I take 10 more?
Yeah. No.
You didn't take my advice about who to hire to, like, run this wedding.
I'm really still a little bit more.
You think I decide who runs this wedding?
Fair point, 10 points.
What wedding are you quite talking about?
Oh, God!
Oh, no, it's so sad.
So, yeah, that 700 hit points, I think, is a nicely...
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
All righty.
And now I'm...
Woo!
I give a little bow to our poor wish at the door,
and then I back up into one of the corners
and ready myself.
Over there?
Yeah, just to give her, you know,
so that she's got to make, yeah, just to.
The corners near her, because she can see you there.
Well, we're gonna be, if she comes in,
she's gonna be in.
Yeah, I'll back up a bit.
It's up to you, it's up to you.
Okay, it's like there.
A little out of line of sight, out of the line of sight.
Which way?
Towards, I know it's weird.
Towards the portal, towards the portal.
Okay, gotcha, okay.
All right, that finishes your go,
Caduceus?
Yeah, we're good.
Yasha, you're up.
Hello.
Okay.
Hello.
Hello.
I want to try to attack the basket friends, or try to at least take one off.
Is there a way I can try to do that?
You can certainly try.
All right.
Now your fly speed on this is.
Fly speed is 30 feet, but if I walk, it's 50.
Can I walk over?
All right, fine.
You can do that little.
3550 will get you right at the doorway.
So you're now standing in the door, more or less.
And you're trying to strike at what specifically?
Was I supposed to make a strength track because I was in the vines?
Oh, yeah. Just so, thank you. Make that with advantage.
I think because I'm raging, I get advantage.
You get advantage. Go ahead for.
Okay.
Are they attached with like a handle, like shoulder straps?
They have chains around them and the chains are affixed to like the cording that's wrapped around her body and torso.
29?
That succeeds. You're fine.
Okay, great.
You just break out of the vines, like the juggernaut you are.
And just step over towards her, blade at the ready.
You're aiming for what?
I am going to aim for one of the baskets.
Let's go for the sage.
Can I...
Well, she's the prism sage.
Yeah.
There's the two which is the coven.
There's the kind of feral druidic-looking one,
and there's like the kind of pale, thin one.
There's Aretha Franklin and varicose veins.
Right.
Those are the two names.
All right, I'm going to go Verricose veins.
Okay, let's go.
This is so silly.
They come for us all.
I'll remember this.
Yeah.
28.
That's the hit.
Okay, great.
All right.
So, striking the basket, the basket is just a wicker basket.
But as you carve through it, you hit the chains that are holding them there,
which seems to be the real thing that's binding them in place.
Go ahead and roll damage for those chains.
Get the chains.
Mm-hmm.
As Aretha Franklin would say.
Oh, that's so bad, savage attacker.
As Fleetwood Mac would say, always break the chains.
Yes.
All right, so let me calculate this.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
As Miley Cyrus would say,
party in the USA.
Oh.
All right, 57 points of damage.
Yeah.
Do you want me to break it down?
Well, no, I got you.
Okay.
So you slam into the chains with your weapon.
You watch them kind of carve the ruins all around them spark and brighton.
They are resistant to all damage, so it only does half damage.
But the chains take a heavy hit, and you watch them kind of like,
begin to pull at the weight.
Great.
Vera Keos, the witch of the covenant there, goes like,
ah!
I was right.
And kind of just looks at you with an enticing grin.
Come on out!
All right, I might take my second hit.
Yeah!
Let's go. Come on, come on.
Yes!
Nice one!
Woo!
Barbarian twin!
All right.
Damn, I wish we had that in the first one.
Okay, okay.
Okay. All right. Oh, thanks.
Take your time. Take your time. Take your time.
All right. Okay. That's cocked.
Somehow. Okay. All right. So, where did the, oh, great. All right. So we got.
You got a bonus the diver? I don't. I have that on my first hit. All right. So.
What is six plus eight?
Fourteen.
Sorry, I'm tired.
It's okay.
14?
Okay, so that's 27 points of damage.
Doubled.
Doubled.
Right.
Okay.
So that's enough to do it.
You, the first hit, strikes the chain and kind of
resists it, you pull back.
You get that look.
One second here hit.
You carve through the chains shatter, and the witch,
the witch tumbles out onto the ground.
The chains come loose, which means that she now.
It's going to kill us.
It now has her own.
Oh, my bad.
It's now outside.
Oh, you weren't planning on this way, you sweet sage.
Help.
She begins to stand, their arms free.
You see this dark, white energy begin to rise off the hands.
And turning goes, back in the chains you four.
The newly released Veracios, just kind of looks up
and her goes, oh, the creature has fear in her eyes.
Oh.
I believe that finishes your turn, Bo?
Yes.
Bo, you're up.
Can I?
No, I'm going to stay there.
Fuck.
Okay.
Oh.
Did it take all your movement to get there, so.
Okay.
A lot change.
You are prone, but you're conscious at full hit points with all the technical.
Hit points and I'm a monk, so I don't care.
I stand the fuck up.
Do I go after Aretha Franklin or do I just?
Chain, chain, chain.
Yeah, all right.
I go after the chain, chain, chain.
Yeah.
Okay.
So as a monk, you ignore prone?
Is that what you're saying?
No, I just have a bajillion,
I've got a walking speed of 70 feet.
Okay, so it's 35 when you stand.
Right.
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
35 will not get you to her.
Oh.
Because you were that far back.
How far away am I?
You're about 10 feet.
Oh, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
All right, then I am going to go
and smash together my fist and light up my lightning gloves,
which give me a range of 20 feet, baby.
Yay!
Let's go.
I'm going to try and aim for the other basket if I can.
Let's go. Roll the attacks.
All right.
Dib-dib-dib-dib-d-da.
You're still hasty.
Okay.
Pop-up.
Oh, that's good. That's good.
Okay.
Wait, do I have advantage on these?
Oh, you do not.
I do not. Okay, that's fine.
The first attack is going to be 29 to hit.
That hits.
Second attack is going to be 25 to hit.
That hits.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Shoot, 10 plus 14.
Ooh, Icky.
14.
14.
So that's going to be 19 points of damage.
19 points of damage.
All right.
And is that hitting specifically since it's my lightning attacks,
specifically the basket?
It's going through the bass.
The batts, it's burning away,
but it's hitting the chains behind it
that are holding the other witch in place.
All right, Flurry a blows.
Let's go.
Woo!
Some more attacks.
One of those is bad.
One of those does not hit, but the other one is 26 a hit.
That hits, roll damage.
That's good.
That is going to be 14 points of damage.
Okay.
Can I do, does it make sense to do Stunning Strike here?
You're affecting the chain.
The chain.
The chain has taken a hit.
It looks damage, but it's still holding.
Okay, that's it.
That's my turn, then.
All right, that finishes Bow's Go.
That brings us now to Arethione and Vera Kellos.
What do you mean, Aritha Franklin and Vera Christmast?
Yes.
Shawnee's like,
and reaches back and places her hand on
through Rithjona's
shoulders, like the chain's partially damaged now
and draws life from it.
Beauregard, roll a D-10 for me.
Why? Why?
Because you're the bad bitch. She recognized danger.
Ten.
Ten. So that's 15 points of damage
to Rufiona, and that's going to be
30 points of healing to Ishaar and I
as she uses Coven Regeneration again
to draw the life force from the still remaining
chain member.
However, because Vera Chaos is free, she's going to bring that energy up and use with her captor.
Yes!
So because she's unbound, she's going to focus to undermine Asharni's power.
Okay, great.
Asharnay had luck points that she had gained or remove a luck point,
and all of her attacks are at disadvantage until the start of the next turn.
It's like, she starts drawing this like,
We'll see you fall.
After all this time, I can't wait to see you die.
And Sean goes like, I'll drag you with me too.
I love you.
I love you.
The jaw kind of dislodging in her features exaggerate to this monstrous nightmare.
Frenzy of desperation and fury.
Finishing therego, Beth, you're up.
Okay.
Yes, I will attack.
the chain of fools.
Come on, come on.
Because I don't, I can't, I can't let her,
she wants to turn me again into a goblin.
I can't let it happen.
I think of Yeza.
I think of Luke.
I think of the young Brannato growing in my belly.
I told you she gets busy.
You were just in a minotaur.
strip club. I saw you eating soft
cheese.
And I will attack
with Voltaic bolt as well.
Somebody hydrate Yeza.
Yes. You were grumpy about
milk shots. Yeah, because
they upset my stomach. I want
pickles. Wait, can you not have soft
cheese when you're pregnant? I don't know. Roll for damage.
What do you got?
27 to hit.
That hits. Roll damage.
It's on the chain, right?
But she's engaged.
Like, this is a sneak attack.
The chain doesn't take sneak attack.
Fuck it, I'll allow it.
Why not?
It's fun.
Let's go.
Being attuned to the arcane, thanks to your time
with Caleb and being an arcane trickster,
I'll say you know how to sneak attack an enchantment.
Yeah.
50, 52 points of damage.
Yeah.
51, 52 points of damage.
Halved, because that's resistance, that destroys the second chain.
Yes!
And with that, the other captor and member of a Sharnai's coven is now freed as well.
We're going to the ground getting up.
Oh, the things we will do to you.
We will do to you, Prism Sage.
That ends your turn, Beth.
Do you want to move?
No, no.
I can't see where I am, so I'm just going to stay foot.
Right there.
OK.
That's going to finish.
Your goal comes to a Sharnai's turn.
Gets her legendary actions back.
Tries to step through the doorway.
What does she have to roll?
It is.
Oh, gosh.
Actually, before she does that.
Yep.
is going to look around and be like,
because she did get her slot back from earlier,
he's going to go, I will tear you down,
rend you with this realm until it collapses upon you.
Brings her hands forward, and once again
is going to call for the Entropic Swarm.
That's going to get everybody in this radius
inside the house.
So I need everybody to make a dexterity saving throw.
By the way, it's a charisma save in case you move forward with that.
Good to know, thank you.
All of us?
Correct.
What are we making?
What's the safe?
What's the save?
What's the save?
Is this something that evasion would count it to?
This is dexterity same?
It would.
Yeah.
Natural 20 for a 26.
Yo.
Nice.
Go.
16.
16.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Sorry.
Wow.
Carried the three.
Okay.
So, write that number down.
All right, forward.
Natural 20.
Natural 20 for 26.
All right, so you take half damage.
That's going to be 59 points of
necrotic and piercing.
Boy, oh boy.
Oh boy.
Jester?
Yeah.
16.
16.
You take 118 points of necrotic and piercing damage.
Yeah.
Beauregard?
20.
20?
You take 118 points of necrotic damage and piercing damage.
Oh, wow.
Evasion.
So you take half that damage.
So you take 59.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, seven.
That's a failure.
Not to brag.
However, because part of it's piercing, you are raging.
You take half of that, so you take three quarters of it.
So it would be, let's see, 59, 29 on top of that.
So it would be, yeah, there you go.
38?
88?
88.
Sure.
Caduceus.
19?
118 points of piercing.
Necrotic.
Shieldmaster, so I cut that in half.
Okay, let's go.
So that's how much?
Caleb, 58.
59.
Fail, but ring of evasion allows me to succeed, so 59.
59.
Nine points of damage.
And then?
Failed, but I'll use evasion or whatever.
Yes, you take half damage.
Yeah.
Or whatever.
Yeah, some rogue thing.
Fair.
And then she's going to try and step through the doorway.
Charisma saving throw.
That's a natural three.
It's going to use third legendary resistance to succeed.
Third and final?
Third and final?
No.
Actually, wait, no.
You freed both of the Covent members.
So she loses two of her existing
legendary, unused legendary reactions.
Great.
So that, yeah, that's her final legendary resistance.
Because both the Cub members were gone.
It's going to step through to there,
not leaving Beauregard and Yasha's combat range.
Does that mean she succeeded on
coming in.
Correct.
So she is basically bained, D4, minus D4 on anything she does.
Fair.
Action, attack, saving throws, yes.
You've got it.
Awesome.
Alrighty.
That finishes that go.
Caleb, you're up.
Caleb is already dragging the lodestone up his arm,
which glows green, and I send disintegrate towards her.
Yeah!
Oh, yes!
Deck save, minus D4.
She is going to use tongue twister to try and counter spell it.
Ooh.
I have a reaction.
Counterspell.
What level?
Let's do.
Let's do seven.
So you know what?
Let's see.
So her counterspell, if you have it plus nine.
So go ahead and roll.
Roll and add your intelligence modifier to me.
Intelligence modifier.
That is.
22.
That'll do it.
You're so smart.
So she gets a deck save.
You said, right?
Yes.
Minus a D4.
Minus a D4.
Even with the minus a D4, she didn't roll that well.
That's going to put her in a 14.
Fail versus my 22.
What does that do?
Is she just dust?
75 points of force damage.
Come on.
Caleb, how do you want to do this?
In a split second, I think of the damage
this woman has done to my friends,
to Jester today, to Veth Brannato,
to Beauregard Lionite and the Lionette family.
I look at these two other women that she has had chained
for God knows how long, and it will end.
And the beam of pure green light carves a circle
around the heart in her chest,
blasting a hole out back and leaving
a gaping visible hole through her body.
She falls to one knee, the massive hole,
just kind of leaving dust plummeting from it.
Oh, I'll find you.
She's still clutching the amulet.
I'll find you.
Let things go.
As part of the Hague's spiteful escape
when it drops to zero hit points,
it is not within 30 feet of its true anethema.
It instead drops to one hit point
and is about to teleport away
with the amulet of lost memories.
Who's got a counter spell?
Who's got a reaction?
He doesn't.
He doesn't.
Does anybody here?
He just used mine.
Wait a minute.
Ford, Beauregard, and Yasha are all right next
to her.
Sentinel's not going to get a teleport,
but if you want to take a reaction right now, what do you want to do?
If I can take a reaction, I'm just going to
fucking punch her in the fucking dick.
I would take a swing, yeah.
Yeah, you know, Travis didn't use his haste last time,
so he's still got a little pent up.
That's true. I totally forgot it last time.
It has an extra action he never used.
So, to clarify,
whenever the SAG drops to zero hit points
and it's not within 30 feet of
if it's whatever it's nothing might be,
it just drops to one headpoint, it teleports away.
So if you bring it to zero,
do more damage to it, it'll just drop back to one headpoint.
Oh, forever.
So damaging her, unless she's near whatever this thing is,
she cannot be killed.
Can we target the amulet?
What do you want to do?
Can I try and break the amulet off of her neck?
You can give it a shot.
Do it.
Oh, I hate this.
All right.
Uh, okay.
Guidance.
No, Fern's not here? Fuck.
I'm here. Can I guide you?
Not as a reaction, unfortunately.
All right, I'm just going to, like, try to...
Oh, I hate this. I'm going to fuck this up.
I'm just going to try and take my staff and see if I can, like, break the chain off of the amulet.
Let's go. Roll and attack, roll.
No pressure. No question.
Come on.
We got this.
We got this. No question.
We're doing it. Big money, no wammies.
Single attack, no, no advantage or anything, right?
17?
17?
17 is beyond?
19.
Is it 17 or 18?
20.
It's 5 plus 13, which is 18.
18 does succeed.
18 was the DC on this, so you've almost missed it with your math.
Stay in school, kids.
Sorry my life.
I missed it with your breath.
All right, Ford.
You have your reaction.
Oh, I do.
I would take a swing with Star Razor.
All right, go ahead and roll.
Uh, Natural 19 with Hexplate's Curse is a crit.
All right.
Yasha?
Yeah, I'm gonna take a swing.
Take a swing.
All right.
So all three of you at once,
in the moment that the magic begins to resonate,
to pull her,
from this rotted realm, in that flicker,
you all focus on the amulet that contains
the memories of family that, in this instance,
could be lost forever.
I'd like you all to roll damage against the chain
to see if you're capable of breaking the amulet.
All of us?
Yeah.
On that crit, plus Hexblades curse,
plus the radiant damage from Star Razor,
And Savage attack.
I get a singular attack here, correct?
That's 42 points of damage.
All right, it is resistant.
So it takes 21.
Okay, I'm going to have 13 damage just with my single blabler strike.
Yep, all right.
It's going to be six points of damage on that, so that's 27.
Come on, Yasha, be strong.
Big attack.
It's pretty big.
58.
Whoa!
Barbarian shit.
That's some barbarian shit.
I love barbaric shit.
As all three of you strike down onto the chain,
the chain itself holds.
You carve past.
Your blade goes wide forward as it carves away.
Beauregard, you impact it, but it just cracks.
Yasha, your sword impacts and slides into the chain.
It's now taut against the Sharna's throat.
Rightyush begins to cackle and back up into this doorway.
and you just continue to push through and the blade shatters the glass emulate outward you gasp as suddenly all the memories come flashing back into you yasha marian
ford and as she begins to vanish i'll find you again i'll her two coven mates go oh we're coming with you dear
All three of them vanish into this pocket.
Suddenly that nausea comes over again.
The space around you begins to spin.
You all feel like you're about to fall,
like you, the dizziness is about to cause you to stumble backward.
A trust fall, but nobody's there to catch you before you land.
Your eyes pull tight.
It's too bright.
It's too bright.
And as you blink, you find yourself standing at a sunset.
With a crowd of people having just stood that look confused.
I don't need this stress, man.
If we could bring out the podium once more.
Oh, my God.
I hope it's...
Oh, sure.
Holy shit, let's get married.
Oh, boy.
So stuck on this story.
Did you help?
Oh, thank you.
Freaking out.
What the fuck, birthday!
Thank you.
As Essek in Kingsley, having just been pushed away like,
Essek goes, is everything all right?
Oh, yep.
Ford, I believe you have something.
I don't believe you have something prepared to say, right?
Ford, as you look out in front of you, kind of taking everything in, you see in the front row,
the red skin and horns and hair of Marian LeVore, your mother to be, makes your eyes and goes, it's okay. Be brave.
Jester Levor
From the first day you crashed into my life
Quite literally you've been the chaos
I didn't know I was missing
I spent a long time
Trying to figure out who I am
What path I meant to walk
And I've chased power, wrestled with destiny
And made more mistakes than I care to count
But through every storm and every shadow
You were there
Reminding me that joy isn't something that you have to earn
It's something you choose
you are chaos
wrapped in kindness
a whirlwind with frosting on it
it's a hurricane of joy that
barred straight into my life
flipped every mat
up I thought I understood and somehow
made everything finally make sense
you showed me that the best things in life
don't always come with a plan
sometimes they arrive covered in paint
laughing too loud and leaving pastries
and dicks in places they shouldn't be
and somehow
that's exactly what my heart was
waiting for. So here is my promise. I will match your mischief with patience, your spontaneity with
steadiness, and your boundless heart with one that is forever yours. I will follow you into every storm,
every strange scheme, every wild dream, because anywhere you are, that's where I belong. And the
quiet mornings and the chaotic nights and the moments where we're laughing so hard we can hardly breathe
and the ones where the seas get rough,
and the path ahead is uncertain.
I will be your anchor, your partner, and your home,
just as you have been mine.
So, Jester, if you, if you,
When you're ready.
Hold on.
I wrote them down.
You need help?
No.
Okay.
Thank you for the pearl.
Thank you for the pearl.
Oh, Ford, Ford, Ford.
Such abs.
Okay.
Ever since I was little, I believed that the romance
would be like
stories I read in my mama's books with sweaty semen and bulging biceps full of magic and
big sweep you off your feet declarations of love and then I met you no and you are a
seaman so we got that part right and you do have a bulging wait um no the rest the love
part, you know? You showed me something different, something better. Because real love isn't
always fireworks or ripped tunics. It's you making sure I eat something other than donuts
for breakfast and lunch and dinner, because I get cranky if I do that, you know? It's you listening
when I can't stop talking about my thoughts on generations of grass societies.
It's sitting on the deck of the ship with nothing but the ocean in front of us
and realizing I'm completely happy just being next to you.
You taught me that love isn't about being swept away.
It's about standing, solid.
It's about choosing to stay.
It's painting the same face a hundred times
because I never get tired of staring at it.
I don't want the kind of love that looks perfect in a story.
I want the kind that's real.
So I promise to stand next to you and hold you tighter every single day
because this, this moment, is the best adventure I've ever had.
So, Ford, you, someone still has the ring, right?
That...
Oh, shit!
You're a monk!
Levitate.
Sorry, I didn't expect Ford's Club to see this.
Thanks.
Damn.
Ford Stone. Do you promise to support love and cherish Jester Lavor for all the days to come?
Get it on there.
Get it on there.
I do.
Jester, do you have a ring?
Yes, I do.
Here it go.
I hope it fits you.
Jester Lavor.
Do you promise to love you?
promise to love, support, and cherish Fordstone
in all the days to come.
I do.
Then in the presence of friends, family,
and any who may be looking down upon us,
I pronounce you man and wife.
You may kiss and kiss.
And kiss.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, they're going to need a bandage for that.
Did nobody get it?
Nobody got it.
Hey!
That's a...
I normally do funerals.
That's all the notes I took.
I don't, everything else gets really kind of sullen.
I don't know.
Artagan steps out from behind Caduceus and says,
My friends, I think it's time to celebrate.
Is it not, to the reception?
As everyone gathers at the lavish chateau,
The sunset becomes a night of stars
and an evening of laughter and cheers.
The band plays loudly.
Out of retirement, Dr. Dr. Drenzel in his band.
And for one night only,
returning vocalist, Gamelin Shortholt.
He's so famous.
Still a centaur?
He showed up for our wedding.
That's incredible.
I know, I know.
He charged a lot.
But the drinks are flowing, the laughter is merry.
And in the midst of it, the sound of clinking glass hits.
Which one of you is standing to make their wedding speech?
Oh, goodness.
We're there?
I thought we were going to skip these because of time.
We still have some time.
Me too.
Beth, you first.
I don't know where I put it.
Did you all write speeches?
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
We were writing them as we were playing the game.
Just in case.
But keep them snappy.
I'll go fast, I'll go fast.
We do have to be done by midnight.
When Jester fell in love with Ford,
we all asked the same question.
What does she see in him?
Jester was delightful, charming, strong,
and Ford was, I mean,
how was this week wannabe?
sailor who sleep barfs worthy of the sapphire of the sea. And yet she did see something in him.
Persistence. Despite our misgivings, Ford rose to every occasion and emerged from the depths of
insecurity to become the man she saw from the beginning. He proved me wrong. There's magic in this
couple, but Jester's most powerful spell isn't hamster unicorns. It's seeing someone's heart. She saw it in me,
She saw it in the traveler and in Ford.
And Ford's special power isn't Eldridge Blest.
It's the willingness to persist.
It's to be there for his friends, and now his wife.
Ford completes Jester, and Jester completes us all.
So a toast to persistence and to Mr. and Mrs. Ford Tuff.
Best man?
Yeah, hi.
Hello.
Hi, I'm Bo.
I'm also first mate and best man.
Hell yeah, brother.
You know, when Ford Stone first came to our lives, into my life, he was kind of a hot mess.
He was an ass-backwards captain who didn't know port from Starboard.
He was a confused seaman who once got hustled in buying a ring of fire protection despite being able to control water.
He was a timid orphan boy who was once bullied by a turtle.
It was a scary turtle.
But now all of that has changed.
Ford, you are now setting sail on what will be the greatest adventure of your life.
You are trading in your ring of fire for your sapphire.
Oh.
Thanks.
You're no longer a boy who was once a bit of a pussy with a thing for eating balls.
Now you're a man who will have a ball while eating pussy.
Oh my God.
But in all, but in all seriousness.
Essex spit takes.
It's great. You're going to love it. But in all seriousness, Ford, oh, Captain, my Captain,
you have and always will be my fearless leader. And I hope that you know, no matter what,
whether you need help on the high seas or building a high chair. I will always be there when you need your first mate.
Ford and Jester, I love you both more than my cold, bitchy heart could ever express.
Congratulations.
Slay girl, Slay.
Hello, friends.
Fornication.
Excuse me.
For an occasion, such as this,
raise your glass for a toast.
to the bride
and the groom
I love you both
so very much
you are my best friends
you took me in when I was a wayward
feral creature and became
the family that I never had
Jester you opened my heart to chaos
and Ford you're the brother I never had
may all your ups and downs
come only in the bedroom.
Bring us home, Caleb.
It is a gift that this day is possible.
In spite of all improbability, yes, I am bringing math into this.
Bear with me.
Think of it.
I have known you, too,
