every tuesday hi again critters it's sam regal and you're listening to part two 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.
Did you just bludgeon somebody?
Yeah, I think so.
I think we have insurance claims coming in.
Is everyone okay up there?
Okay.
All right.
That doesn't look good.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
Oh, boy.
Oh, man.
I think it's fine.
So ferns at the tippy top of the tower.
Oh, that, wait, that's her up there?
Fern's over there.
Oh, okay.
This is Tevin, and this is the devil that is currently
reading the scroll.
There's a map.
There's a map.
We walked right past it.
Is this out?
It was out.
We were just, it was.
Yeah.
Crack out with your map out.
I don't know what that means.
Too late, no.
So,
Oh, God.
As you all just crest that hill and stand there at the side,
you can see the rocky scape before you,
the tower where the one black-crowned devil
is currently reading the scroll.
With Teven at its side, arms crossed,
looking down upon Fern Calloway,
who is currently on the top of that central precipice,
these kind of purplish red chains wrapped around her
and binding her to the top.
And as the words of the reading devil begin to speak,
the very scroll kind of flares,
and as it does, the chains on her seem to brighten
and flash as well.
The two other large devils seem to turn and loom
as other smaller ones skitter around the base.
Could I please bring to the table
the people that are guiding these two guardian devils?
Wait, what?
What?
What?
What?
You.
Let's go ahead and bring in Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford for.
Oh, no.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
You know.
You're so good.
You're so good.
Not Krarimi Krokins.
Oh, my God.
I have had this nightmare.
This nightmare.
Oh, no.
You guys look awesome.
So good.
You have chairs behind you.
You can sit.
Yes.
I was wondering why we had so many horns.
We've all been very bad.
Yeah.
This is a three-headed GM.
If you would, that's all,
I give you your sheets.
Geez.
If you would like to take a moment to further describe
the devils that you are helming here, guarding the
base and space of this
infernal on-play
of infernal aidment.
I am really big
and covered with
football-sized fleas.
Ew.
Why?
I hate that.
That's it. That's my back story.
That's true.
As though, Fazu,
the fell prosecutor.
Grips its axe, covered in football-sized fleas.
You notice the approaching crew.
What do they hear, verbal, from your lips?
No hope, only fear.
And on this side, would Asterodith, the grim litigator,
please speak on your presence and your...
noticing of their arrival.
I have four arms,
two of which
endlessly scribble
upon a pad of rules.
As I look
around licking my lips,
ready to bring fell prosecution.
Oh, no.
He's a rules lawyer.
You know it, baby.
As this entity with the scroll reads out,
And it is written here in the great script
that this joint agreement, twice renewed by Miss Calloway,
binds her deeply into the service of Asmodius Lord of the Hells.
For this, the contract flares, and I mark a D12 on the 12 for the deliberation countdown has begun.
Whenever any of you fail in action roll with fear, it ticks down.
And the arbitrator up top, Zachryphor, who reads it might be able to manipulate it further.
But should that count down, perhaps Fern's fate is sealed.
Whoa.
Jesus.
What would you like to do, Bell's house?
My fate is determined by a dice roll?
What is this?
Before we go into battle, can I just turn to my friends and say,
listen, I've faced Asmodius before, and it is very hard
hard and hell is very strong but there's one thing stronger than hell, Bell's Hells.
We will overcome and we're going to bring our girl home and with that I'll use Raleigh to give everybody one hope die.
Yes!
All of you get a D6 that you can add to any reaction roll you make?
Oh it's not a hope die, it's a D6.
Correct. Even better.
That you can add to anything.
Any reaction?
Okay.
Yeah.
But at level five, I think the rally die changes to a D8, right?
Oh, right.
Oh.
What's it?
What's it say on your multi-class sheet?
Robbie rules for David.
What's it say on your multi-class sheet?
I don't know, buddy.
Oh, no.
It says, at level five, your rally die is a D-8, right?
So instead you guys get a D-8 to utilize.
My D-8 has vanished.
I love it.
There's a lot.
I think about this one.
Here.
I love it.
There we go.
As this horned Minotar speaks out hopeful words to its friends, the two of you do note the presence of infernal mark in its body and its eyes,
Asmodius has already burned a deep hook into the soul of this one that still lingers.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Because you are one of us.
I mean, I'm, I feel like I'm cuter a little bit.
Come join the win inside.
I'm going to spend a fear to have the arbitrator read out further.
Beyond this contractual point, Thurn can't
Halloway is responsible for great dark deeds in her past,
weighing her soul to the hells to begin with.
Fern, I'd like you to describe something you've done in the past
that has marked a bit of your soul with sin.
How much time do we have?
Um, oh God, I have to pick one.
Okay.
Wow.
Well, I think, well, I feel like something that still doesn't sit well with me was when
I tossed a coin for someone's life.
Indeed, the flippancy in the way you've treated the lives and fates of others that
called you friend weighs on you and darkens a fragment of your spirit as the countdown
reduces to a ten.
Wait, wait, wait, okay.
I see all the little devils in all of the little impies,
and I go like, ooh, I've got some of those too.
And I would like to cast a dark army.
Oh, okay.
Very well, Lonna, go ahead and roll for spellcast.
Okay, I do want to mess this up.
Okay, I could add plastics.
Um, okay, I would love to add, um,
Add one of my favor to this for shadow.
So that will add a four plus six.
So it's a really, this should go great.
This should go great.
That went great.
That went good.
It is with fear, but don't worry about that.
All right.
So that's going to be 18 plus 10, 28.
A 28 is definitely a success on that spell.
Describe what you conjure from the essence of Delilah
you pull from within your chest and that bond.
So I see Fern and I'm remembering all the things
that she taught me in all of her fiery ways.
And you just see dark tindral stretch
from the tips of my fingers into the ground
and then bursting up from the infernal plane,
undead shadow creatures,
with a little bit of flicker of flame
all rise around me, eight of them.
You watch his Loddna is now surrounded by a veritable small army of undead creatures.
That kind of howl and gurgle around her.
Now that was with fear, which brings the spotlight back to me.
Would either of you like to take the spotlight?
Oh, yes.
Prepare to be judged by a jury of your superiors.
And I begin.
scrolling on this ledger and as I do so I begin a countdown and as you are naughty
I'll put this here to keep it present there you go this is going to tick down
toward your doom is that it oh no that was merely a reaction
I now call forth my dread enforcers.
Come forth and teach them the deliciousness of compliance.
All right, so you'll spend a fear from the pool to do that?
Yes, and so because of that, I now call forth D4 plus three devil enforcers.
There are six of them that now manifest within close range of me.
Where would you like them to manifest, my friend?
As close to these malefactors as possible.
It's like Blue Man Group.
But with horns.
This is the coolest night.
When it comes to the form of your destroyer,
there are worse things.
As six of these little armored kind of skittering enforcers
kind of appear, summoning out of black and red, mist, and smoke,
all in that space, they are immediately spotlighted.
So these devil enforcers are going to turn and focus on Brayas.
Brayas, I'm going to go ahead and spend a fear
to have them group attack against you as they all rush in and swarm you.
You cannot attack me, you cannot touch me.
As they do,
I'm going to go ahead.
As they do.
That's going to be seven to hit you, Brayas.
What's your evasion?
Oh, my God, my evasion's eight.
I rolled really bad for them.
Yeah, you did.
I told you.
They clamber on you and climb on you.
Your rest of you watches Brayas
is just being swarmed by these devils.
And yet they cannot quite pierce the armor.
It's like some sort of strange greenish cloak flashes by.
A protective force unseen deflex them faintly.
That's going to finish their spotlight.
Would you like to go?
Yes, please.
The spend the fear to let you do so.
Very polite devil.
Who's closest to me?
You can probably rush over two Brayas if you'd like.
Oh, yes.
Why, it's just so much Brayas.
You cannot touch me.
As I leap up onto this plinth, the brimstone under my hooves cracks, and I will bring out my culling axes.
Plural? Plural axes?
Yes.
Which means?
And I will use my standard action.
Oh my God, it sounds so metal.
There's been another fear if you want, it's up to you.
Or you can, uh...
Oh, I'm going to...
Come on, you be a hunk of meat, you can do better than that.
Let's go for it. Go ahead and roll an attack.
Fear Daddy, can I spend a fear?
Yes, you may.
Thank you.
New name?
I like this.
Fear Daddy says yes.
I have an experience called Ingeneration.
Bobby, that's your next game.
I will use that.
I will use that.
And I rolled a mighty 17.
Okay, you can't touch me.
All right, that's 4D12 plus 16 physical damage.
Would you like to roll or should I?
You roll it, buddies.
Your damage dice.
There you go.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at all those dice.
Roll shitty.
Oh, I got bad news.
I'm really scary.
So all of you within far range,
Lose a hope.
Oh, we gain a fear.
Yes, we do, for you are terrified.
Yes.
Delicious.
All right, you take 38 physical damage.
All right, you take 38 physical damage.
Bring it on.
Okay.
So as a note, you also have a hell steel weapon.
I do.
But, so did you have to mark any armor slots?
Oh, sure, I did.
You marked one?
I did.
Mark another.
I don't want to.
My hell steel weapon carves through your tissue paper armor.
Wait, my tissue paper, you're talking about truth bearer,
fable plate of Uthorvendra.
Oh, my mistake.
I apologize.
I'm going to use rolling punishment.
Okay.
After I make a successful attack against the target, I can mark a stress and attack somebody else.
Yes, you may.
Whoa!
So go ahead and mark a stress.
Yes.
And you can move within close range to make your next attack.
Where would you like to move?
Who's closest?
I mean, that whole group is kind of within range if you want to move.
Who's the least popular?
You've kind of already hit them, man.
I don't know.
You have the shiny blue boy, the tiny halfling.
You have the big rock.
Let's go.
I hear you have a kind heart.
I will enjoy eating it.
Inside a fleshy haveling shell?
That's going to be a 21.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
You all lose a hope.
You all lose a hope.
Everybody.
And we gain a fear.
And we gain a fear.
Damn it.
No.
And you take 50 physical damage.
Whoa!
Two? No, I can't do that. I'll mark one armor.
Which means like, you mark two.
Whenever you have to mark an armor slot, instead you mark two against his weapon.
So it's two armor and two hit points for...
This is bad.
This is bad.
This is real bad.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
This is very stressful for me too.
I burn another stress.
It burns another stress, yes.
I'll attack the pretty blue guy.
Are you out of hope?
He's still going?
Okay. Yeah.
Oh, yes. He can go all night's love.
He's as hot as an infernal cyclone.
That's going to be a 18.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, you were very pretty.
What's that past tense there?
You take 44 physical.
chemical damage.
Cool!
Everybody loses a hope.
And we gained a fear.
Wait, if we don't have any more hope.
All of us?
Wait, if we don't have any more hope.
Then you're just out of hope?
Okay, okay, okay.
You're all out of hope.
All right.
You were supposed to abandon the hope before you entered here.
You also lost one extra armor if you took an armor off.
Yeah, it's all right.
Two armor, too physical.
All right.
Who's next?
Another stress.
No, what?
What?
What?
What?
He said.
Oh, man.
Damn it, Perkins!
Destroy them.
Let's go with the shattered glass guy.
Oh, my.
Bring it.
Bring it.
He says,
I'm very sorry I have to do this.
I know how much this hurts.
Will it?
It hurts me even more.
Oh, my.
goodness I rolled at 12 oh yeah evasion eight I'm fought oh no oh can I can I
burn a prayer dice to lower his attack what's it say on the prayer I don't know you know
you know Sam never learned to read it says I wait but if I even if I lowered it by
four it'd still be eight so he would still hit never mind no I'm fine okay I'm fine
Okay.
Let's go and roll some damage.
Right.
He's fine.
Jeez, that's a lot of dice.
I rolled really crappy.
Yep.
That'll be 18 plus 16 is 134.
You've got to defy.
I mean, I agree.
And I'm sorry.
That's going to take two off your armor.
If I use armor.
True enough.
Ah, he's sorry.
This devil's Canadian.
You know what?
I'll take them. I'll take two hit points. I don't need to lose my armor yet.
All right. You all lose a hope and we gain a field.
What? Damn it! What?
I'm so... You wiped a towel!
I'll start using armor once I killed you. It'll be fine.
Oh, that was stressful. I think I'll take a break.
All right.
That will conclude our spotlight. It's back to you.
I'm kicking it all.
Actually, I was going to say, can I pout? Wait.
I have a quick question.
Yes.
I am with the chains, I can't use magic.
Currently, you'd have to break free, or someone would have to help you break free?
Got it.
If I just charge up the stuff and spend a stress to charge up,
would that count as an action, since I'm not rolling anything technically?
Oh, you can, if you want to go and take the transformation, go for it.
Okay, so I'm just going to, like, having taken this hit,
I am grining a big grin, and I am going to,
and I think because it's only one stress for all of this,
I'm going to go full Shard of Komort Unstoppable Havoc.
I am just, it's like watching, like I'm almost doing a transformation like Lodna
where I'm just getting bigger and heads are going in and out of reality.
And I just finally stop and am a massive, twice the size, weird gravitational black hole
ready for some shit.
Let's go.
So let's do this.
All right.
I think what I'm about to do does not trigger an action.
I go running through my friends.
I smack Dorian on the ass as I run by and say,
let's go get our girl.
And use a soldier's bond once per long rest.
When you compliment someone or ask them about something good,
they're good at you can both gain three hope.
You and I each get three hope.
Oh, phenomenal.
I'm gonna go running up onto the rock formation.
As far as I can, then I'm gonna use seedling.
Spend a stress to find myself to Fern's shoulder,
to that sturdy brick house frame.
You got it.
I can hold you.
And then I'll spend another stress to flee jump
as far and high as I can off Fern's shoulder.
towards the tower's peak and hold on as high as I can.
At a far range, you could stop right at Tevin's feet.
So you land right there, and you are holding on to the edge
as Tevin is looming over you.
I'm gonna hold it there and let my friends follow in after me.
Seeing warm do that, I'm gonna go, that's a great idea.
I'm gonna turn to Laudna and go, yo, love looks good on your dead ass.
Who?
We should rock this shit, and I'm going to use the soldiers bond
and get three home for the both of us.
Do you also smock me on the ass?
No, I'm not going to mess with that.
Okay.
All right, is there anything else you want to do,
Chetney with your spotlight?
That was enough.
Fair.
I'm going to step forward, and I'm going to speak to them,
speak to them and say, eyes up here.
And I'm gonna cast Mass and Rapture
and fly up in the air.
Awesome.
Okay, because you're still using your flight, right?
Yes, flight is still active.
I have two of my actions left on it.
All righty.
So what's the range on Mass and Rapture?
Far.
Far range.
So you fly here to get them both of them far range.
So as Imogen coasts up into the hellish air above,
you're gonna go ahead and
reaching out with your mind into both of your devilish consciousnesses.
You hear this.
You're going to go ahead and roll for your mass and rapture.
Yeah.
Let's go K-POM.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Listen, when I'm attempting an action role to change someone's disposition or emotional state,
so I'm going to try to change their emotions to focus on me.
Oh, allow that, yeah?
Okay, then I'm going to, mark a stress, dear God,
to roll a D20 for my hope die.
Great, let's go.
Oh, anything else you want to spend on this?
Yes, I want to spend God-Eater.
Oh, I don't have any hope.
Fuck, I can't.
You do have your class abilities too, don't forget.
I know, wait.
I should have smacked your ass.
Yeah, you really should have.
Remember, you can burn stress to increase stuff
as your character's ability on the bottom of your left hand
part of your sheet.
Yeah, I'm gonna mark, oh, God, two more, yes,
I'm gonna burn my last two stress.
What?
To add, oh my god.
Oh, wait, but that's just adding my, wait, listen.
To add plus two to my spellcast role,
so that adds another plus two.
And then now that I'm all out of my stress,
all my stress is marked, I get advantage on this role.
Yes, you do.
So as you stress yourself out,
your innate psychic ability, your Rewydian bond
begins to flicker and burst out of you,
like an uncontrolled
Gene Gray-esque scream.
And I'm gonna roll.
Let's roll.
Okay.
Come on, baby.
Blal-la-la.
Okay, and then I get a D6, and I'm gonna use your...
Okay, listen, I'm gonna do this first.
See what I'm rolling.
That's a natural swing!
Let's go!
Okay, okay.
29 plus five
That is definitely a success.
So mark that hope, because that's with hope.
Oh, good, okay.
Yeah, baby.
So both of you, suddenly the rest of this just becomes distant noise, and all you see is this
sparking, psychic target that is taunting and drawing you towards her.
You see nothing in the space but her.
She's all that matters.
You are amazing.
We are beneath you.
you.
And we will punish you for us.
Oh, God.
This countdown ticks down because you made an action role.
We got to deal with the lawyer.
Okay, I'm going to, in Orham's brain, I'm going to say,
break her locks while I've got them distracted.
Honey.
Now it's with the hoax, so the spotlight's still on you all.
Oh, good.
All right.
May I? Are these magical locks?
They are, you are bound in chains, but there are manacles on your wrists.
Okay. I have, I have pick and pull, which I could, I could try to try to lock pick it.
If you'd like to, if you want to use one of your long fingers to try and pick the...
Oh, I have no hope, so I can't use my experience.
Your ass is so far away.
Damn it! No! No! All right, so...
Okay, but I have advantage on action rolls to pick, well, non-magical locks.
This is why I asked.
They're magical.
Unfortunately, that's not going to give you advantage on this because they are magical.
That's fine. That's fine. I'm just going to roll and I'm going to get right out of them.
That's what we're going to do right now.
You need a finesse roll for me.
All right.
All right. No problem.
We're going to do it right now. I'm going to add my D8.
Great, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, I don't know why I'm screaming.
Okay.
Okay.
It is a fear, but it's not bad, it's not bad, it's not bad.
Okay, it's 20 with fear.
20 with fear.
The difficulty of this space is 19, so that is a success.
So you do manage to pick the manacle,
then with that coming loose, you pick the other one,
and you manage to shrug off the infernal chains.
The physical ones are tossed off of you
or you're not free to move and free to cast.
However, you roll with fear.
You rolled with fear.
So the spotlight comes back to us.
Dang it!
Oh, damn it, Lord!
And because you made an action roll,
this countdown goes down.
We've got to deal with the lawyer.
Yep.
First, I will activate as part of the spotlight here.
The arbitrator, which begins to read off once more.
Miss Fern Calloway
is bound between multiple individuals across
the realms, but their bindings do not hold sway
against infernal law.
She weighs down significantly further.
Fern, describe another piece of sin in your past.
Oh, oh no.
I don't know why my mind is going blank
because there's just so much in there.
I mean, I mean,
I mean...
Is that really a sin?
Wait, what are you doing?
What is this?
I don't understand what this is.
You forgot already?
What, the three?
Oh.
I don't know if that was that bad.
We were just having fun.
Oh, it was good.
All right, fine.
It was...
We were busy with trauma.
The art was like,
She engaged in a carnal, mid-forest, three-way with a werewolf.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
That's kind of awesome.
Yes, it is.
She definitely belongs here.
Yes, she deserves a medal rather than punishments.
Agreed.
Thank you.
While the physical chains are off.
Perhaps you should let me go.
Not a chance.
You have it still kind of arms folded
is kind of looking at you with a blank expression
but now it looks at your half-ling friend
who's kind of hanging off the edge of the tower.
At this point, while you're not physically in chains
as he reads from the scroll
and each section of it goes by,
you feel like part of your body gets heavier.
Like with this progressive use,
you become more and more bound to this realm.
It's still our spotlight.
Would either of you like to go?
Oh, yes.
Spend a fear and spotlight you, my friend.
I now, looking at your glory, flying up in the air,
unfurled wings of flame.
Yeah, I realized that a little too late.
Wings of flame.
And I rise up.
Are you within a melee of me really quickly?
This guy, no.
No, okay, oh, that's here.
Oh, never mind.
I thought you were the big dude.
Oh, carry on.
Sorry. I was hoping.
What would you like to do?
Where would you like to go?
I was fearing.
I soar toward you and unfurl a giant lash of fire and whip it at you with extreme judgment.
You whip it.
Whip it good?
Fear, daddy.
May I spend a fear?
Why, of course you can.
You treat us so well.
I do try.
And so I now make a standard attack.
Yes.
Thank you.
against your evasion which is halved against this attack and so that's going to be
21 then you now are going to take may I have 4d8 please yes you may I have 4d8
please yes you may there you are okay she she you take you take you take
27 magic damage as hellfire reethes around you and do you mark one or more hit
points well listen not if I use my armor which I do so you marked none at all
I marked one hit point delicious as the hellfire reeds around you and scorches you
You are now vulnerable until you clear at least one stress.
I have so much stress.
So all attacks against you going forward?
Art advantage.
Art advantage.
Rett Row.
All righty.
Would you like to go?
Oh, yes, please.
Damn it.
I want to burn a fear to spotlight you.
Now all I see is this radiant star.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Am I drawn to it?
It is the only target you can see, and it looks tasty.
Oh, okay.
I would, you know, listen, here's the thing, Matt.
I would have flown up pretty high.
You could move up to far range, yeah.
Yeah.
Huh.
Well, I don't have wings.
Is there a catapult or something?
There is.
A volcanic top you could attempt to leap off of.
You know what?
I will stand on top of that and jump up and down.
You're going to have to do a reaction roll, though,
because right now I am a gravity pit.
So if you're standing next to me,
you're going to have to succeed on a reaction roll.
All right, what's the difficulty on?
Eight.
So go ahead and roll a D20.
You have to beat an eight with a plus.
That'll do it.
All right.
Worth a try.
But worth a try.
I felt something small tugging on my leg, but it's okay.
Oh, no.
I leap onto this fumarole and wait for an ejaculation of lava to propel me into the air.
Proper word term use.
Oh, man.
As you kick onto it, the rock kind of crumbles in.
As it bursts up, you go leaping into the air and you have a split second above.
Imogen, you watch as this massive, terrifying devil rises up in slow motion with its massive axes.
And there's an attempt to come down on you, would you like to make?
to make an attack.
I would. Let's do it.
This is going to be a 21.
Ah, that hits.
Yeah.
Sorry.
And I'm vulnerable.
Oh, no.
Is it really bad?
Do you feel bad?
I feel awful.
This is terrible.
41 physical damage.
Whoa!
And I can only
I can only mark...
Spend one armor slot to reduce it.
But does it mark two?
Does it mark two armor slots against you?
Or is that just a specific attack that you're doing?
No, that's...
So if you mark an extra one, then you would normally.
Okay, got it.
She is made of celebrating.
And that was how much?
And everybody loses a hope, and we gain a fear.
Yes, we do, baby.
Is Orham out of the range of that?
Wait, wait, wait.
What was the total damage?
It's far range.
So, Orm is out of range of that.
Yeah.
Okay, then I still take major damage, so that's two more hit points.
Do I fall?
You do.
Okay.
You plummet, but as you land, you kind of catch yourself on your knee.
That'll end your spotlight.
I'm going to go ahead and spend a fear to activate the group of devils,
then spend a fear for them to do a group attack.
Wait, weren't the group of devils, they could have been enraptured?
Oh, that's true.
True.
Yeah.
That's true.
That would have been arranged.
You're right.
So.
Good job.
Good job.
That was the three.
The devils themselves are also in rapture.
And they're just kind of focused on you.
They kind of move over here, but they don't really activate.
They're just kind of stepping on the outside going, hey, what's going on?
Look at the shiny flying lady.
Yeah, I'm not going to stop them from doing it.
Instead, I'm going to go ahead.
and activate Tevin, who looks down upon you or him and goes,
It's just business.
And it's going to stop on your foot to try and kick you off.
So this is going to be, I'm going to say go ahead and make a strength reaction rule.
I'll make a pitch that you're going to say no to.
Okay.
Can I use agility to try to fancy hand parkour away from the stop?
Yeah, oh, how about.
Great.
So make an agility reaction roll.
I'm going to see.
I'm going to spend a hope to use my experience, tiny dancer.
All right.
Come on.
Um, and plus five.
Plus five.
Two, three, four, five.
Can I hope you with my experience sexual dynamo?
Wow.
I don't know why that would work.
Why wouldn't it?
wouldn't it?
It's never failed you before, really.
Well, oh.
Oh, it's a crit!
Oh!
Oh!
Well, there you go.
Take that hope, clear that stress,
and that is a success.
So he just stops down.
Hand over hand over hand away.
I'll say with a crit, too, you actually hand over hand
and get back up onto the tower itself.
You're no longer hanging off.
You're on the tower.
Yeah.
Can I follow up?
No, because it's still our spot-wide.
I will spend another fear, because I do have a few to spend.
And the arbitrator is going to begin to continue to read from this scroll.
She is currently subtly bound to the unsealy court as well as a dread pirate ghost.
The primordial titan, those are gone.
Right here, right.
You see them wipe their finger across it,
and some of it just gets kind of crossed out and left off,
which causes it to tick down two more times.
We're now at six.
That's going to end our spotlight.
It's back to you.
We're trying to solve the problem up here.
Okay, so I will hoist myself up to the side
of the little guy who is holding the scroll.
I will use Call of the Brave Battle Ritual,
battle ritual, once per long rest, before you attempt something incredibly dangerous,
or face off against the foe, we'll call this dangerous.
Describe the ritual you perform, Orum, does the Zephyra Tom, and centers himself.
Does like a two-second, like, Tai Chi battle position holds.
I clear two stress, gain two hope.
And I want to use a wrangle, make an agility role against all
targets within close range. Spend hope. I'll do it. To move targets you succeed against any,
there are no allies here, so I want to knock both of these assholes off the tower.
All righty, go ahead and make that agility roll against both of them.
Okay. All right, so it's plus five for agility. I'm going to spend another hope to use
Zephyran strength to add four more. Let's go.
There we go.
222.
There we go.
22.
With hope.
Yeah.
That's a success.
Take that hope.
So they both go opposite directions.
And with my movement, I will leap after the one holding the scroll.
All right.
The one that is knocked off the side here, you're leaping after him?
Yeah, if he's still holding the scroll.
He's still holding the scroll for the moment.
You leap after, and he plummets down onto this platform,
and you both kind of catch yourselves there.
Tevin is going to fly off and his wings unfurl
and fly back to the top of the tower.
Well, kill all the lawyers, I guess.
And speaking of which,
Because you made an action roll,
this countdown ticks down.
All right.
So, still spotlight, still you.
Yes.
Anyone got a thing, or can I hit the big dude?
Marisha, you want to go or me?
Okay, here's what I wanna do.
I wanna at least get, God, I don't wanna mess this up.
I wanna get a withering affliction off on you
to where if he starts beating on us again
It takes, we take less damage.
Malphazoo.
Malphazoo.
And Al-Stradith.
What?
Uh-huh.
I tried to write the names down, you guys.
That is a stodardith.
Yeah, it's Al and Mal.
All right, come on, come on.
You know what these haven't been doing me?
I'm gonna do these, I'm gonna do these.
Let's go.
Okay, okay, okay, this is gonna be good.
Uh, wait, what's happened?
That's bad.
Wait, you have a rally dice.
That's bad.
I have a rally dice.
Is it so bad that it's not worth it?
Hang on, hang on, hang on, wait.
Tell us, tell us what it is.
Tell us, hang on, to be quiet for a second.
Three, seven, nine, 25.
Just, what's 12?
12.
What's 12?
Well, I know, but does anyone know if 12 hits?
Does anyone know?
It does.
It does?
I am, it does.
Shut up, Byrne.
I'm gonna roll this rally die.
Okay.
Make it so.
16. Does 16 hit?
Can I add a prayer dice to that?
No.
No.
If you want to add a prayer dice to it?
I will add three more to that.
That does succeed.
Yes.
Is that with hope or fear?
A finger.
Okay.
Marisha!
I'm sorry!
Why are you bad at dagger hurt?
I swear white dice and everything.
But you are withered, so while you are withered,
whether any damage that is dealt by him
is reduced by one hit point.
I was trying to debuff him so we don't get
her asses kicked.
Thank you.
Whoever said that.
Thanks to that action roll, my countdown ticks down.
And because you hit my large, needy companion,
I look at you and I say, shame.
Shame.
And I take my large quill and put a big check mark
next to your name in my ledger, which gives me a debt token.
And as I receive this debt token,
you can see the hellfire around me starts to grow brighter
and burn more furiously.
And with that fear, with it as your friend may be,
I'm going to go ahead and bring the spotlight back to you.
You got a lot of guys in a line there.
Now, my question is, Fear Daddy.
Yes.
Am I allowed to look at anyone beside the glorious image of?
No.
Listen, and Rapture is temporarily enraptured.
Right, so I can spend your activation
to get rid of it if you want to.
Oh, I clear that shit.
All right.
But because you do have...
have an ability called Relentless,
I can spend a fear for you to take another activation.
So now that you're no longer clouded by Imogen's and Rapture,
though it did spend an action, what would you like to do?
You were just telling me about that glorious line
of people in front of me, and so I raise up my fiery whip
and I say, feel the might of litigation.
That is false.
Arrange, which Mrs. Dorian,
but does catch Imogen, Laudna, and Chetney.
And doing this, I will share with you all,
it does give me some stress as I think about
all the paperwork I'm going to have to file
after we lay you in the grave.
And so I make a standard attack roll.
That is 17 against all of you in the line.
Who's in the line?
The line is going to be Imogen, Latna, and Chetney.
That's 17, the hit?
Yes.
That hits.
That hits.
Yeah, the hits.
Oh, I love these 48.
Oh.
1-1-1.
That is 32 magic damage.
Okay, wait, wait, wait, was that a spell?
No, that was a strike of his whip.
That was the strike of the whip, okay.
Damn.
All right, I'm going to, as this happens,
I take one of my undead army,
and I grab them by the neck,
and I just throw him in front of me for a second.
And I get to reduce that damage by 1D8, thanks to my dark army.
Ooh, that's an eight.
So wait.
So one of your undead kind of jumps in the way,
No longer!
Oh, oh my God, please don't, please stop.
Wait, was it 32 magical damage?
I was in shock.
32 magical damage.
Okay, yes.
I'm actually going to throw one more at it too
because I can do that.
That's good, that drops it to a minor damage.
Each of you are also very stressed out by this.
It must mark a stress.
as you are scorched by Hellfire.
And finally, please document for me verbally
how many of you I have just lashed?
Three.
Three.
Me?
Is that three of you?
Three.
Delicious.
And I gain three debt tokens.
Sitting at five there, buddy.
Remind me, if I am full up on stress
and I have to take another one that takes a hit point.
Correct.
Okay.
Oh, God.
How are you doing there?
I'm in danger, girl.
You're too far away for me to touch.
I realize that.
I'm in trouble.
I'm going to go ahead and say, I'm going to spend another fear.
Do you want to go, bud?
Yes, please.
Let's go.
Am I still entrenched by this angel?
You are.
Then I must repeat my previous action and leap on the fumarole.
All right.
Up into the air to strike her.
Though I long not to, I dare not, not.
Your logic is sound, my friend.
Malfazu, take your strike.
I'm not the smart one.
I'm the big one.
All right.
Oh, no. It's going to be a 19.
Oh, no.
That hits me.
All right, let's roll some damage here.
Now, the damage is half.
Minus one.
Minus one hit point, sorry.
So, Mark, keep that mind.
Minus one hit point.
It's not really going to matter.
Oh, no.
Well, he wasn't supposed to hit you.
I know I'm speaking southern.
I can add up numbers these big.
53 physical damage.
Can I, what did you hit her with?
Can I, I am your shield this?
You are so far away from her.
Can I leap?
On your next spotlight, you can get closer if you'd like.
You're so far, I can't do anything.
Did you lose any armor?
Oh, I'm gonna lose two armor for you.
So 50 what?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm not hearing the numbers, because I'm always like,
what was it?
53.
53 minus 6
is still severe damage.
So you dropped that by 1?
Oh, wait, I don't take, I just take it down to 1.
You just take it down by 2.
Oh!
So it's down to 2 hit points.
You spend the armor, it brings it down to 1.
Oh, okay, wait, wait, wait, this is great,
because another time I, oh, never mind, just fuck it,
I can't go back.
Okay, wait, so I take just one hit point?
Well, it would be 3.
It's reduced to 2.
and then if you use the two armor slots,
it goes to one.
I'm still at nothing, though, with that.
I'm out of hit points.
Okay.
Ladna. Hold on.
You watch.
Is that real good for you?
Well, so.
Oh, yeah.
Malfazu causes a PC to mark their last hit point.
Malfazzo rolls a 1d4 and clears that between their hit points
or stress.
That's my stress.
Oh, no.
Well, you didn't need that deck.
It's fine.
It's done now, it's gone.
It's gone, Chris.
Floor dice don't count.
Four.
No!
It's been great, yel.
I am not stressed at all.
Welcome to the death of Bell's Hells.
Did I remind you all PCs within far range of me lose a hope?
Oh, that's right.
So with that...
We've been out of hope for a while.
Fern, you do not lose hope?
lose hope?
I have zero hope.
There you go.
And you do not lose hope, Orum.
The rest of you lose a hope and we gain a fear.
And we gain a fear.
Correct.
However, Imogen, as the massive axe carves into you,
you feel consciousness flicker out of you.
I need you to make a death move for me, please.
Oh, no.
Now, blaze of glory.
No.
Risk it all, or you can just drop to zero hit points
hip points and be unable to engage until someone heals you.
Girl, I'm gonna do that one.
We haven't been rolling good.
Because here's the thing.
I tried the other one and it didn't work out so well for me.
It did not.
No.
No.
The rest of you watch as Imogen is carved from the sky
by the massive devil and plummets next to the lava roiling space.
The flicker of her psychic spark fades
and she lays cold and still.
still breathing, but barely.
I think that's going to include our spotlight.
It's up to you all.
Oh, does it conclude your spotlight, Matt?
We're all having fun.
Oh, yes.
I'm so upset.
Do we want me to try to unlock Fern?
She's already been unlocked for a while.
Yeah, she got herself unlocked.
Do you want me to get rid of the big fucker?
Yes.
So how far away?
How far away is he from me?
would you say? Would you say it's like, uh, close range from you?
He's close range? Yeah. Uh, he's not beyond close range. No. Damn it. Okay.
Rolling like ass. Uh, well, either way, I'm going to drop gravity. I'm going to pull a stress and we're
going to flip to, uh, probability. So that'll be fun. Uh, it's a D4 on this card. There we go.
Nothing has changed. I don't know what's going on. Nope, never.
Oh, D6. I'm so sorry. Wrong die.
You better hit him with your biggest fucking spell right now, your biggest shit.
What's a spell?
Whatever.
This is guardian shit.
Okay, so I am going to take a run at this fuck.
And this D8, by the way, I assume I can roll it afterwards if I'm, yeah, if I don't like.
So I also automatically, this attack I automatically have advantage on.
So here we go for that.
That is
Yeah, I'm gonna, Jesus Christ
Hold on, a six, that's better.
Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, seventeen,
eighteen, eighteen, eighteen, with hope.
Yeah, you hit.
That was using the rally die?
That was using the rally die.
Thank God for bars.
Yep, I rolled a seven on that rally die.
Let's see, whenever you roll a,
Oh, you and now I roll at a very close range,
make an action roll.
Okay, that's cool.
Anyway, now I'm gonna do some bloody damage.
Let's see.
Let's see, that is 5D12.
I'll just do it twice, there we go.
That's 12, oh boy.
12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Uh, oh, oh, pull that again, because it was going off.
Uh, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, uh, 29, 29, 29,
49, 44, uh, 45 is what that turns out to be.
What the hell?
Yeah.
I just go running and I'm just taking a swing at those fucking nuts between those two goddamn.
I will say.
They're really small.
That's why I get both of them.
A heavy strike to this beast as your hammer hits.
And it's a sturdy devil as its physical resistance reduces it by half.
You still take a hit point.
I know.
But this one seems to have a hardened exterior for physical strikes.
Okay.
Hardened exterior, baby.
All right.
And I look at you and say, shame.
The countdown ticks down.
And we gain another debt token.
Let's go.
And we also gain a fear.
Yay.
All right, was that role, by the way, with hope?
With fear.
Oh, that was with hope.
Great, take that hope.
And the spotlight is still on you.
Dorian, would you like to go?
It's been a minute, buddy.
Yeah, sure.
I will, uh, ooh, no, no.
Oh, man, I'm gonna save my friend.
No, no, oh, it feels bad not to.
I mean, let's go together, hand in hand.
You want me to do it?
No, no, I'll do it.
Let's do it.
No, I'm gonna use my wing boots,
and I'm gonna use my wing boots, and I'm gonna,
fly over to Imogen and I've lost all my healing I'm gonna pop the top on you put
this in my binder yeah on a major health potion let's go yeah yeah so you get
to roll a D4 or should I roll it you should not roll it would you like
Imogen to roll it no I believe in myself all right let's go
You got this, basically.
You got this.
Okay, fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's four hit points back.
Great.
So you heal four hip points, Imogen, and you come to consciousness on the ground.
You could see a bit of slow-moving molten lava that's getting close to your face.
As you like, pull away for a minute, Dorian's right there beside you.
Literally pouring juice down your mouth.
How you, how you doing?
I'm not good.
I know.
You can still take an action roll if you want or do something else.
Yeah, sure.
Let me.
Let me, can I make some more movement? Can I fly?
Yeah, of course.
I'm going to fly over to Fern, who's just thrown off her manacles.
No, Fern is a good distance from you?
I'd say she is, I mean, you're flying, which gives you a decent fly speed.
I will say if you want to make an agility roll to make that distance.
Oh, yeah, I'm so good at rolling right now.
Let's do it.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go, let's go, blue boy.
Great.
Oh, it is almost a crit.
So close.
24.
With hope or fear.
with hope.
Yeah, take that hope.
You are zipping around with the wind,
literally at your feet.
And then the last thing I would do on this spotlight
is I would just like, hi, Fernie,
and I'm just going to scoop up the manacles
that she's cast off in my hand,
spin them around,
and I'm going to use my ancestry ability,
which doesn't require a wall to use gust leap,
which lets me instantly transport
to any point I can see within very far range.
So I'm just going to
wind under my feet
right to the top in front of our boy, Tevin, up there.
And I'm just spinning a set of manacles
and being like, hope this plan works out.
And that'll end my turn.
I love it. All right, finishing Dorian's Rapid.
Nice.
EMT, darting around.
around the chamber and then rushing up
with a unique idea, spotlight's still on you guys.
I'll follow it, if it's okay, no.
I will say, Chedney hasn't gone in a minute.
Anybody.
Yeah, you want to go, Chet?
No, no, no, no.
It's all you, but.
Okay.
I'm going to use a paradise to give myself for hope.
And I'm going to cast stunning sunlight
against the two big devils.
All right.
Do you want to move closer to them before you do that?
I mean, uh,
the range on it?
I don't know.
Also, are you within very close range of me?
It says within far range.
It's super far.
True, well, are you in...
So, yeah, with this, you could get...
How many can you hit within far, very far,
or within a far range?
As many as I want.
You can get all of these.
Yay.
Are you within very close range of me?
Right now?
Maybe. Not quite.
I can move up...
If you do, you get advantage.
Yeah, I'll move up to Ashton.
Yeah, you'll get advantage.
There.
Yeah, you have five more.
defeats, you can get, that would put you in very close,
but that's the end of your close range movement.
Great. I will also use one of my personal values,
which is, the baby Lord of Hell's must be defeated
before he defeats me.
I'm the only one who can see this,
that exact phrase is written on this page.
Word for word.
Oh my God, Sam.
So I will roll with a D20 as my hope does.
Yes, you do.
That's your order-borne feature.
All right, this is a spellcast roll, so it's plus five.
Dog shit.
With advantage.
Okay, so that's, that's all.
Is that your spellcast roll?
Okay, 10, 10, 50, 10, 22.
Right!
22 will hit everything, including these devils here.
But now they must make a reaction roll 14
to see if it does all the damage or some of the damage.
That is a failure on those devils.
It is a failure for me.
The failure on those devils.
Failure.
Wow!
Wow.
It's like five, five, six, five.
That was awful.
So they all take four D20 plus five.
Also, any of those D-20s you want to re-roll,
you're close enough to me that you can re-roll.
Just let me know how many you want to re-roll.
If you don't like it.
That's right, because probability.
Because I've got my probability filled up.
Oh, boy.
About time.
This is the tied pendulum swinging.
Awful.
Rer it, rerol it.
You can re-roll as many of those as you like.
Just let them know.
You can re-roll up to four, all of them, all four of them once.
Okay, great. Then I'll do two more again.
Shit, that one moved. That's worse.
Can I roll it again again?
I don't, that's only once per die, isn't it?
Okay, it was, 32 plus five, 37 points of damage.
Points of magic damage.
And they're stunned.
This cluster of devils are wiped out.
The traveler is real, you guys.
Brayas, can you describe to me how this blast of sunlight
apparates from you here in the pits of hell?
Oh boy.
I clutch my heart, which has for years burned
with the symbol of Asmodius,
but now it somehow morphs and changes into a
a new symbol that sears with radiant green light
across my chest.
It is a Captain Tusk Tooth?
And it blasts forth in a beam that skewers everybody in front of me.
And I sort of aim it across all of my adversaries in a line.
Brayas Kamehameyaz, the breadth of this hellscape,
just tearing.
You watch as all these devil enforcers just scatter
into ash in dust around you,
blasting up and down through both of you.
All my fleas just, pf.
So you go ahead, Mark.
Hit point.
Hit point on there, and you.
Well, you see that some of that gets brushed away
by the hellfire that is around me
because I am resistant to magic damage.
Resistant to physical?
resistant to magic.
Might want to take note.
I should have, ah, lawyers!
Lawyers!
However.
Is he still stunned though?
Yeah, they're both stunned
because they failed, so we have to
spend activations to get rid of it.
And this ticks down one.
And I also say, shit.
As I get a debt token, and we gain a fear.
All righty.
And I'm not stuck.
No, no.
So, both of them are stunned in space.
That was with hope, right, or with fear?
Fear.
Oh, no.
Well, one of you will spend an activation to get you unstunned.
Me.
And we'll spend a fear to get you unstuffed.
That means you can't do anything on our turn at all.
Okay.
However, I can spend a fear to activate you with you.
to activate you with Relentless, which I will do.
What would you like to do?
Oh, man.
Ah.
Do we have another tasty line?
Just the mark a hit point there, too.
No.
I, seeing that my paralegals were all just destroyed.
Oh, wow.
I paged through my ledger, tear out a page
hurl it to the ground
and it sprouts
into another group
of devil enforcers.
Go ahead and roll.
Is that D4, baby?
But this does cost us a fear
if I may spend it, Fear Daddy.
Of course you may.
That is six more of them.
Where would you like
then to be placed?
All around
this Minotaur that just
dare defy the
law and the power of the court.
You've got it, as they all swarm around you,
Brayas, returned with an angry fervor after you
incinerated many of their allies.
They immediately activate.
I will spend a fear to have them do a group attack against you.
That's better.
That's going to be a 16 to hit.
That hits.
That is 12 physical damage for each of them attacking you.
Does that mean three separate attacks?
That's 72 points of physical damage against you.
Oh!
Jesus, gosh.
Dagger!
Welcome to level A dagger, baby!
So that's above my severe, so that's three hit points?
Yes.
Do you have any armor?
I do. I'll use an armor to knock it down to two.
So that's two hit points on you.
Yep. That's going to end their activation.
Back to you all. Checkney.
It's been a minute. What do you want to do?
When I got hit about 45.
45 minutes ago for when I mark one or more hit points you start to see the fur
growing out of his shoulders his neck pops his back cracked it's time for
moon oh shit
I'll mark a stress to go into my wolf form, and I will use my grizzly harpoon where I'll make a spellcast roll and mark a stress to slice into my hands with my claws, and you see the blood that comes out and go in my hands, and I fucking throw it at the litigator with his flame whip within far range, and running forward if I need to as I do so.
Yeah, you can definitely get within far range.
And because he's so much larger than me, instead of pulling him down to me, I'm going to be
pulled straight up onto him.
Hell yes.
Oh, bitch.
Dude, dude.
That's a 23 plus 4, 27 with hope.
That's it.
I think that's going to hit.
And that is going to be 8.
That definitely hits.
8.3, 16, 19.
Plus 3.
2021, 22 points of magic damage on the litigator.
Magic damage or regular damage.
Magic or physical.
I know, it's just magic.
I don't make the rules.
The Hellfire bats away some of your blow,
but I still take a hit point of damage.
And while I'm there, the turmoil is going to come out,
and I'm going to take a swing down onto your neck with turmoil.
as it comes down in one massive hit.
As you've like leaped up with this blood tether
and pulled yourself to it, you're like holding on
and clambering on, you're both kind of battling in the air.
As turmoil goes into strike, rolling it out.
And I'm gonna roll that, I'm gonna roll that kick-ass bard died, baby.
And I'm gonna look at that shitty flame whip
and I'm gonna use my experience and I'm gonna burn a hope.
I'm gonna spend a hope saying, that's poorly made.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, oh.
17, 18, 19, 20, 21 to hit.
That hits.
Nice.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
That's six D-10 plus 12.
Yeah, you went all in on that proficiency, baby.
I've been sitting on it.
Okay, that's 10, 12, 15, uh, 20, 29, 20.
Oh, that's 34 plus 10, 44, 44, 44 physical damage.
That's going to be two hit points there, baby.
You got something on your face.
And I take all of that damage.
This one was a one, so I'm going to re-roll that using not good enough.
That's a six, so add six points to that for the one.
That still puts it between the two thresholds, so.
Beautiful.
Pretty slick.
A heavy hit on you.
Oh, shame on you.
And this ticks down to one.
We gain another debt token and we gain a fear.
Yes.
Okay.
All right, and that was with hope, so it's still your go.
Fern, you got the shackles off.
All right, there's a few things I would like to do.
Yes.
All right, for one, I would like to activate the spark of Rauchat.
You got it.
Okay.
Flames, spill, and...
Spill and burn out.
I gotta take these off.
Okay, so now may I also,
okay, can I mark a stress
to channel my elemental incarnation
to use water, which when I deal damage
to any enemy within melee range,
all other enemies within very close range
will mark a stress.
Sure.
Okay.
You're now bending as the flames apparate around you,
you harness the steam that begins to swirl.
As you conjure water, it burns into a mist and fog
that you can manipulate at your whim.
Okay, great.
So may I take a Caprene leap
so I can sort of get in the fray
with all of the paralegals?
Over here, yes.
How far can you move on a Capriene leap?
I can leap anywhere within close range
as though you were using normal movement.
So how close can I, can I, can I get within very close range of them?
If you want to roll an agility roll to see if you can make that distance to far,
we can see.
And you can get, you can't quite get very close with him because he's still up in the air.
But you can get within very close of Malfazu, if you'd like.
I'll do that.
But you have to make an agility role to do so.
Better do it with hope, bitch.
I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
I'm just going to get down and try to get close, and then I can do that next turn.
Okay, and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to unleash chaos.
I am going to use all five tokens that I have, which will be 5D10, but I can also use an extra D10 because of the spark.
That's true. First rule to attack, and this is against Malthazu?
Oh, yeah, that's right. I have to roll to see if it hits.
Do you want to make a tag team? Yeah.
I know. Are you going to do it?
Well, it needs hope.
Who's providing the hope?
I've got three hope.
Okay, then you can do the tag team.
Okay, okay, okay.
Which ones do I do?
Okay, we'll do this one.
Yeah, I'll hit them with you if you want.
Yes, let's do it.
All right, so spend that three hope.
It's a tag team attack.
So, just describe how both of you are combining your assault.
What are you doing, Brayas?
She said let chaos rain, or no, she said something about chaos.
Yes, I unleash chaos.
Yes.
That is one of my...
I mean, obviously, we got to let chaos.
That is one of my three personal values now.
So I can't, I can't, I can't not be chaotic.
So I will, I will hoist her up.
She was trying to get close.
I'm going to try to push her even closer,
and I will swing with my foul verdict along with her.
And you'll get advantage if you're still that close to me,
which you will be.
Yay.
So as she stands, as she says,
she's not quite close to get advantage,
but he is, as you unleash chaos,
as you kind of hoist behind.
and then leap with your poison pen in the air
to strike downward.
Both of you, roll for your attack.
Oh, okay.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Okay, okay.
That's not terrible.
It's not terrible.
Okay, 17 plus five.
Hey, here.
So 23.
Yes.
And with fear.
With fear.
Mine was a 24 with hope.
Oh, oh, let's take that.
Let's take that.
So you both, you both gain a hope,
and that is success for both of you,
and you add your damage together for this assault.
Yes.
Oh, oh, where is it?
And again, Ray's, you can re-roll two dice
at damaged dice if you like.
Okay. Oh, God, where is it?
Oh, and I'm using my thing so I can do the things
with the other things.
Where is it?
I'm gonna add toxic splash into this as well
to give another 3D8 damage.
Let's go.
That's what it's four.
That's what it's four.
That's what it's about.
All right.
Is that five or six rolls?
I think those five rolls.
And I have a sixth from the spark.
Let's go.
Okay, it's just one.
So that's 32 points of damage.
Okay, so that's...
Dimmage.
32 to you.
You want to re-roll anything?
Oh, shoot, I forgot.
I'll re-roll two of them.
All right.
And that's...
for you.
Those are way better.
Is that magical or physical?
Magical from her.
So it's 16.
You can just mark that on the side if you want.
That's 42 damage from me.
All right, which means that's 42 on top of that to you, which does break your major thresholds.
That's three hit points on you.
And that's half for you.
That's right.
That was 37.
So it would be 16 on top of the 32, which would be 48, which is still under you.
which is still under your major.
It has two hit points, that's right.
And I can spend a hope to target one additional enemy.
Well, I'm saying, this is all on you.
I got confused, I thought this was on both of you.
So you get to keep those head points.
Sorry, that was just on one target.
I got confused.
But, Reyes.
I'm going to spend a hope to target one additional enemy.
Great.
Oh, within close range?
Yes.
Is he close?
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
It's right there. I'll allow it.
Do I roll again or?
No, no, that's that 37 physical damage against you.
So you do still mark two of those.
You have that many left.
All over again.
And when I make a successful attack,
I can clear three hit points from me,
and on a success with hope,
I can also heal a nearby ally.
What?
Are you near me?
I feel like I am, but I'm not sure.
You are within very close of Braiths.
Okay, so we both heal three headpoints.
How did you do that?
You are so puny.
That's second win.
That is the power of chaos, friend.
Renounce your demons, renounce your devils.
and come to the chaos side.
Tempting.
Yes.
I like it.
That was with hope, right?
Yeah.
It was.
I'm going to embrace that chaos.
Damn it.
Well, and.
Oh.
Oh, right.
Before this happens.
You see that up in the air
as all of this damage has been dished out,
I am quivering, and you can see the fire
coursing over my scaly flesh.
He's going nuclear!
Nuclear.
This ticks down to zero.
And I say, feel the prosecution.
And I explode with hellfire and all of the debt tokens
that we have been gathering.
How many are there, Fear Daddy?
Four, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine debt tokens.
That means every one of you within far range
takes nine D10 magic damage.
That's 40. That's going to be around 45.
Do you want to roll this?
Oh, no, you're going to be around 35.
That's all of us.
Maybe it'll be really bad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'll be five below or five below.
Low roll.
Is this going to be our first to be continued live show?
48.
No.
51 points of magic damage to everyone except for Orem.
except for Orum.
Oh, and Dorian, and Dorian.
Dorian, you're free of it as well.
Get back up, ability to mark a stress
and reduce the severity by one threshold.
Nice.
Me too, right?
And this is from the lawyer.
Just those.
This is from the lawyer, not from the withered boy?
Correct.
All right.
Thanks for those hit points, Brace.
Yes, I'll mark two.
You did, you did a hit point to me.
I am angry.
I'm going to spend a fear to interrupt your stress,
because why not?
Even though it was with hope, I'm going to spend a fear to interrupt.
I'm going to activate this devil that you have engaged with.
Some bitch.
Who's going to go ahead and take the scroll and throw it up to Tevin.
Vof, woof,
Tevin catches it.
I'm going to go ahead and spend another fear to activate Tevin,
who pulls the scroll out and goes,
And within this day, Fern Callaway,
will be bound to the hills of which she's promised
to be guardian under the Lord of the Hills,
my fiery pride.
This counts down two more to a four.
That's our activation.
Spotlights back to you.
I'm not even going to use an action.
I'm going to hold seedling to the sky and Spider-Man thwhip up to the top.
As soon as I get there, I'm going to use deadly...
Like that's stress?
Yeah, as a stress, that's right.
As soon as I get there, I'm going to use deadly focus.
Once per rest, you can apply all your focus towards a target of
your choice, so I gain a plus one bonus to my proficiency, and I stare at Dorian across
the platform.
Let's go, babe.
What's up?
Is that all you want to do?
I didn't use an action.
Nope.
Do you have the hope?
I do, if you don't.
I do not have the hope in my heart.
We'll switch it up.
I'll spend three hope.
And we will tango around this motherfucker.
Tagsimon?
Yes, let's go.
All right.
What action are you both taking against Tevin?
Say again.
What action are you both taking against Tevin?
We're going to do a thousand slashes across this devil's body.
You got it, go ahead and roll your two attacks.
I'm going to use one of my strategic approach tokens to give my attack advantage.
And plus five.
Oh, oh, crit.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, that solves that problem.
I was like, oh, two, two.
Oh.
Well, that is, means both of you are critting on this.
So both of you gain a hope and lose a stress.
Oh, boy.
Both of you do maximum weapon damage
and then roll your weapon damage on top of it.
And then combine it.
This is going to be crazy.
So I did focus.
So my proficiency is a five for this.
So max.
Okay, so 32 plus the modifier, stuff too?
Correct.
Well, it'll modify at the end.
So it's your dice max.
Yes, 32.
And then you roll dice.
Oh, 50.
Okay, so it's 50 plus for me.
Boom.
Yeah, so I dumped all my levels up into proficiency two,
so mine's 5D8.
Yeah.
And then the roll?
Oh, yeah.
Lucky number, Sleven's, baby.
So it's 40 plus whatever you rolled there.
R-A-40.
What is it?
Oh, seven, what are you?
That was a 70.
But Kevin's so cute.
That's not important right now.
So 40 plus that is 66 plus 8.
It doesn't matter when they're manipulative.
74?
74.
74.
74 damage?
Yeah.
How much did you do?
50 plus 47.
Whoa.
Oh, please, double severe.
So that's, that's a, that's 160, whatever, 153.
Let's go.
So that, that's.
153.
That more than devil, more than devils, doubles Tevin's severe thresholds.
He marks four hit points on that.
And one spiraling, unstoppable assault
of blade and dance and eye contact and grins.
Two majestic boyfriends shred.
I think it's powerful and passionate.
I think it looks like a Pasadouble.
Oh yeah.
They're like stripping hands using
centrifugal force to move around this guy, and they were roommates.
Is that one of your experiences?
Should be.
That should have been ours!
Now, Tevin's fiery armor does strike you both for 12 points of magic damage because of the
melee attacks against him, and because whoever these up, marked as the arbitrator on this,
has a chastised reaction when it marks one of more hit points by piece you in the close range,
both of you have to make an instinct role for me.
Reaction roll.
Reaction.
Okay.
Oh, oh, hey, five and five's a crit, baby.
Yeah, that's a success.
You're ready now.
Wow, sir.
17 with fear.
Oh, well, it's reactions.
It's reaction.
Thank goodness.
The reaction difficulty was an 18.
Oh.
So you unfortunately fail.
We gain a fear, and you are pushed far range away.
As suddenly the tower,
billows off.
Dorian, like, crouched down and a hold under the stone.
Let me ask, since we rolled together on that attack and you hit a crit,
does that mean that attack was a critical success?
It was.
Okay, while I'm holding down and grabbing you, I'm also going to give you a hope
because with inspiring Flourish on Gamble of Clef, the Vortex, played,
when you roll a critical success, you can choose two hours with a close range to gain a hope,
so you get a hope back.
And as I'm holding you, caressing your hand for the first time,
Since we rolled a successful attack,
it awakens something inside me
and I feel an ancient power
stirring within my loins.
And Gambo Clef the Vortex Blade
engages since we had a successful attack
once per long range.
I can do another attack and repeats
so I can hold on to you
and still take swipes at our boy up top.
All right.
So as we'll say as this castigation
that this chastising ability is taking off,
like at the same time you can go and keep making attacks
when you're finished with your flurry
he'll be knocked away
so continue
roll bitch come on come on hold on
I'm gonna add
I'm gonna add the D8 on this one
yeah
it is
gross
icky
wait wait wait wait wait wait no no no wait wait wait wait if I make
if I make a finesse rack reaction it's a 14
which I rolled the 14 does that mean beats it beats it
it beats it yeah it beats it
hey I'm gonna take it that means it hit
yeah
to then roll again.
It's 14-6 to 6-6-S.
Dang, you just barely got that.
I'm learning how to play Daggerheart live.
You're doing great, baby.
So it'll be another round of attacks.
Yeah, another attack for you.
Fantastic.
Great.
Oh, you stopped to roll to hit.
You stopped to hold a hit.
What?
You still have to roll to hit.
Oh, but I thought that was the, oh,
I have to roll the hit.
Okay.
Yeah, it gives you the chance to hit again.
Okay.
You can do this.
Come on.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, really scared.
Doggerhardt, you cruel mistress, I missed.
What'd you roll?
13.
Yeah, that's a failure.
With hope or fear?
I know.
It was with...
I can't remember.
It was with fear.
Oh.
A good try as you've unleashed another series of strikes,
but Tevin's a little too wise at this moment.
It blasts Orem off.
or him off, and down to this way,
and you catch yourself on the edge of that
as the other devil kind of spins around to look towards you.
That brings the spotlight back to us.
Where did I land on the map?
You are on this platform here.
Okay, that's a pretty safe spot.
Either you want to go?
Yes, please.
Let's go for it, Mafasu.
Just wait me into that big mass of enemies there.
You tell the other devil, excuse me.
Excuse me, pardon me.
Stand aside.
They back up and out of your way,
as you kind of...
Hi, guys.
We're all into here.
All right.
I'm going to use executioner sweep.
Can I spend a fear, Fear Daddy?
Yes, you may.
Thank you.
To make a standard attack against all targets within very close range.
Yes, that's going to be attack against Fern, Ashton, and Brayas.
All right.
Bring it.
Fern.
That'll be a 19.
It's.
I think that hits all of them.
It does.
You all lose a hope within far range, which is all of you except for Dorian and Orum, and we gain a fear.
49.
Jeez, Louise.
Okay.
49.
49 points of physical damage.
Minus one.
He's still withered.
That's true.
Yeah, so whatever damage you take, you reduce it by one severity.
Zero.
Did I hit them all?
Does that count as three successful attacks?
That would, yeah.
Okay.
You all lose three, four.
Technically, it's still one attack against all of them.
Okay.
Yeah, you're good.
Okay.
You all lose one hope.
Do I lose a hope if I didn't take any damage?
Not that it matters, but I have no hope.
It's just when he does this full attack, it happens.
Yeah, it's not about damage.
So you reduced that to nothing?
Yeah, I didn't take it.
That's great.
We get a fear.
Yes, I added that.
And remember if you mark an armor, you actually lose an extra one.
Yep.
I didn't.
None of us have any armor left, so.
Oh.
Except for Ashton.
I did.
Man, I can take a beating in this build.
It's amazing.
Is that what you like to do?
Yeah.
All right, great.
Would you like to do anything?
Let's see.
Where do we have a line?
You have a werewolf on your face.
Oh, that's right.
I see, we'll hear the way.
How did I miss this bundle of fur right in my face?
You bastard!
Now you can fly and try and line up another lash
if you'd like to or whatever else on this page you prefer.
No, we are inspired by the beautiful pair on top of the tower.
We are going to have a dance of our own in the air
as I whip my lash a fire around you,
wrapping it around both of us as I use my judgment lash.
May I spend a fear, please?
Yes, you may.
Thank you, Daddy.
This is great for my self-esteem.
Oh, man.
It's just going to inspire some weird dreams.
All right.
Your evasion is halved against a attack, which is a 17.
Yeah, that hits.
All right, my friend.
You are not going to take 27 magic damage.
Not a problem.
How are you doing over there?
I'm fine.
And you are now vulnerable as the hellfire of my whip
rages across you, and you are vulnerable
until you clear a stress.
That sucks a little more.
Would you like to move with your payload?
Yes. This dance, we are going to pirouette in the sky over toward the tower
because I see that our arbitrator is in dire peril.
There we are. Yep, perfect.
That concludes our spotlight. We have one fear on deck. We've spent a lot of fear. It's back to you all.
Can I get up?
I will also note, because you damaged Tevin, who is now the arbitrator, it does tick up to a five.
I'm just going to spend the stress. I'm not going to do anything, but I'm just going to reset my habit.
Okay, I'm going to take a health potion. Go for it.
So that clears all my hit points again.
Nice.
Okay. Goodbye. Okay. I'm going to, do I have a line of sight on, on, on,
On how? No, Mal. Are you male?
Malfa? Yeah, you do. He's quite large.
Yes, okay.
Oh!
I'm so mad!
I'm gonna unleash chaos!
As well.
So.
Let's go.
Yeah.
I'm just so mad. Lightning is flying everywhere.
Okay. I've got all my stress still, so I get to roll with advantage.
Right.
Okay. And I get to add a six to this because...
because of all the damn, huh.
Okay, okay, wait.
Wait, 14, 15, 16.
Oh, wait, I still have the Bardic inspiration.
16.
Both was eight.
That takes me to 24.
24?
Oh my, yes.
Okay, great.
Yes.
I am going to also use all of my tokens
to deal full damage on this,
So that is 5D10 damage.
Magic damage, all right, let's go.
This is gonna hurt.
Oh, I didn't even add my prep, never mind.
11, that's good, plus seven is 18,
plus seven is 25, and then one more.
25 plus 8, 23, plus another 6,
6, 39, is there anything?
Is there anything else I'm gonna add?
I think that's it.
Oh, I didn't say it.
Forget it.
So yeah, 39.
39 points of magic damage.
It's going to exceed my major threshold.
That does exceed your major threshold.
That's two hit points of Mafazu.
Oh, I am still standing.
A heavy strike of chaotic power from your mind
as you feel the inside of your devilish brain
wracked with psychic terror.
Oh, my brain, my greatest asset.
That was with hope of fear.
Oh, that was with hope.
Yeah, so take that hope.
Spotlight is still on you all.
Mind if I roll or is someone else got something?
So I give myself a little bit of a pep talk.
Let's try something else.
And I look at that flying fuck over there.
and I activate my space havoc,
and I'm just gonna take a swing
that somehow he's within far range, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna smack him around the back
of his fucking head.
You watch his, Ashton takes a massive swing with a hammer,
and the hammer vanishes into a portal for a split second.
A portal opens next to your head in the sky
as the hammer swings from it.
And that's, uh, that's, that's, that's not bad.
This is, uh, 25, uh, it's 25, 26, 27, 208, 29 with hope.
You hit.
Take that hope, buddy.
And now let's do some damage.
That's, uh, my standard, which is 5D 12.
Enjoy.
Uh, one, two, three.
Uh, that's not bad.
Uh, it's 12.
13, 14, uh, 12.
13, 40, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18, 19,
ah, ha, 19, 28, 38, 39, 40, 50, 55, 56, 57,
points of damage.
Ashton, how do you want to do this?
So since I'm going to double this because I do, since I kill him, I do get a teleport too.
You do.
So I'm going to make it a two-parter.
That swing actually, I'm going to myself.
Teleport right behind you before I bring it down on your head in your ear.
You're just going to hear, we were here first.
Water's right, motherfucker.
And knock your goddamn head off
and teleport right to the top of that fucking tower.
Far range?
Actually, if it's still in.
You can teleport to the edge of this tower.
That'll do.
So you now kind of, this massive, earth-swollen ashen
is now like king-konging up the side of this infernal tower
as this devil plummets and crashes to the ground.
Oh, sorry, Chad.
Sorry.
Chetney, write it to the ground.
Ah, thank you very much.
The prosecution rests.
Oh.
You may have a seat.
Awesome.
Nice, nice.
I'm going to spend a fear to activate Tevin, who's
going to tick this down to three. As he reads from the scroll once more, we will bind her
here eternally. She will be my right hand in the infernal war to recover our Lord wherever
he will be reborn. And he says that he looks towards you and get vengeance on those that
have crossed him. Objection?
It's still your spotlight.
Loddna, you haven't gone in a minute.
Ah, huh, ha, huh, okay.
Tevin.
But what you wanted to do, you had a thing.
You got a thing, go for it.
Do you have enough hope for a tag teamie?
I do.
Should we tag teamie?
Always.
Okay.
Now do know, you know that he is resistant
to physical damage.
Yes.
I feel like we should go after Tevin.
I do too.
Let's do that.
But, all right, here's what I'm going to start with.
I'm going to pull out paté.
Yes, he's here.
He's been here the whole time.
He's just been asleep.
I'm going to reach in my backpack.
What's going on?
I was taking a nerve.
Shut up.
And I'm going to take him.
And I'm going to kind of spin him around, almost
like he's like nunchucks, like he's poorly.
And I'm going to, like, wind him up,
and like I'm going to shot put throw
him towards Tebeth.
All right.
And as I release him, I'm going to summon a horror.
All right. What's the range on this?
Um, far.
Far.
All right.
Far range is this for you right now?
So you'd have to try and, you'd have to try and move.
I will move.
And make an agility roll to make that distance to get him within range.
You can do this.
You can do this.
Can I?
Can I?
Can I spend a hope and use my experience, hear the call of the wild, and you'll hear it in the distance?
If you'd like to.
Actually, this is a good point.
Can I, because we're tag teaming.
Well, did you have enough hope to do that?
I had four total.
Can I like...
So you can add a D6 to this, if you'd like.
Okay.
Okay, but narratively, I wanted to basically like, Hail Mary.
pass patte to chetny to get in the rest of the way i love it i love it i love it
if this works just like so go ahead make that agility roll for me laudna
with the d6 with the d6 oh my god i hate this so much all right all right all right
hang on wait that wasn't a real role um it's not great
13? No, 14?
That's enough. It's just...
14 with what?
No, 14.
Shut up, shut up, he didn't have to say it out loud.
With fear.
Okay, it's still part of the same tag team.
But it's still part of the same tag team, right?
Indeed.
Oh, that's true.
We're still going.
So I pass him and then I want to summon,
so as I like pass him, if you want to,
you want to catch Pate.
and then as you catch him, my hellhound explodes from Pate.
So, as part of the scenario, the spotlight will come back to us after this, and I did gain of fear.
But you are ending this movement.
We already have to roll to cast your spell.
I will catch Pate where I am, but I'm going to switch out my vault,
and I'm going to burn a stress to bring in rage up, which lets me double my
damage and I'm going to use my crimson right at level 8 to do 3d6 to any attacks
and I'm going to burn the last charge second of last charge on the staff of Dark
Odyssey to blink within far range to straight to Tevin and as I'm holding pattee
turmoil comes down I'm like bitch I was there first so for the
Your crimson right is currently doing physical.
It's gonna do magical damage.
All righty.
So go ahead and both roll your attacks, yes.
All right.
I want to spend my last favor to add shadow to this.
Let's do it.
That's what it's for.
That's what it's for.
That's 28 to hit with hope.
Nice.
So you both, as part of the tag team,
get to take 28 with hope.
Get his ass.
So you both take a hope.
With hope.
Okay, wait, but I also rolled.
I think his is better though.
Oh, yeah, what did you roll?
You look sad.
Hang on.
Don't distract me right now.
23 with fear, so let's take his.
Yeah, good call.
Both of you gain a hope that is success.
Both of you roll your damage and combine it.
Okay.
That's 5D10 for me.
That's 66, 70.
Sixty-eight points of damage.
Because I, in my order of the lichen,
I get to crank up the stress plus rage up,
plus crimson right.
Yeah, that's nasty.
Shit.
That's how you've been subpoenaed.
Seven, nine, sixteen, one, a lot.
It's not great.
Sixteen.
Okay.
That's going to be 20, and they have to mark one D4 stress.
Ooh.
All right, so that's 20 with 68, you said.
That's 88 points of magical damage.
They also have to mark an additional stress,
so two stress on a successful attack.
All right, that is past the severe threshold.
That's three hit points on you.
He has to make a reaction roll.
And if he fails a reaction roll,
he has to mark a D4 stress from me.
Okay, so mark those three hit points.
Malfazer's looking rough.
Now hang on.
I want to do one more little thingy
that I get to add on after a successful attack.
This is Tevin.
Teven.
Teven.
Oh, this is Teven.
That's right.
Sorry.
It was the spiked Pate football.
My brain is going weird on that.
There's a lot in there right now.
Uh-oh.
That is, yeah.
Oh.
How do you want to do this?
Yes.
I'll say with turmoil, as the sight sinks into the back of his neck, I'm like,
I don't think you should fly, and I'll carve the wings off the back of Tibbon, and I'll turn him forward towards Lodna.
Well, I lost my monitor. I can't hear shit. I toss my patte to you. So as you carve down and you cut into his body, paté basically like a little weasel goes in and he explodes into my wolf.
And bisects him the rest of the way. Tevin splits in half. The wings shattered. The upper torso goes flying down to the ground next to your
feet fern, and you see as the body of Tebem begins to burn away into ash, slain within his own
realm, a true death for a devil.
Yeah.
As his arms and tors me to burn away, he reaches towards you and goes, we could have been so beautiful.
Aww.
Oh, I kind of hate it.
I love it at the same time.
I know.
He never stood.
Is the kiff's gone from my hand?
No, because your deal was with the Lord of Hell.
Okay, I was just checking.
Are we up near Fern?
No, Fern's down there.
You're up with Dorian.
Got it.
So wait, one more thing.
Yes.
I would like to burn the rest of my hope.
You still have fear.
Is this still going?
I mean, you guys still have the ability to go if you'd like.
I just want to tag on because after a successful attack with Dyer Strike,
I can spin hope to leave power.
from the target, the GM must lose fear for each hit point dealt.
That's right, fear, daddy.
I'm gonna remember that.
All right.
Who's up?
I have the super fast thing I will use seedling spend distress to send a vine
and pull the contract into my hand.
Nice, yes.
All right.
That's it.
The contract's in your hand.
That finishes your go.
Who's up next?
Still us?
I'm going to eat some varic leaves.
All right.
That gives me two extra hope.
You get two extra hope on your go there.
You got anything?
I can touch you Chetney, although you're very scary to me right now,
but I'll still touch you with sparing touch and you'll clear too stress.
So you're not vulnerable anymore.
There you go.
All is still here.
All right.
But you're free and out.
Who are you next to, Far?
You can tag team this.
Okay.
Let's tag team it.
But I don't have any hope.
I have three hope.
Okay.
I just took there.
Let's do it.
I would.
I would like to turn into a dragon.
What?
Yeah, why not?
I mean, we all want to do that, but what?
I'm going to turn into a dragon.
Do you do magic damage?
when you're a dragon?
I do.
No, do you need me to do magic damage.
Magic damage is what damages him.
Oh.
So cool, though.
I know it is.
Do it feels right.
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
Do it.
Do it.
Do it.
Okay, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Okay.
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it.
It's a fairy dragon?
Yes.
It is a, it is, it is, yes.
It's a dragon.
dragon. It's like a teal, like, you know, the same color
hair as fern with like a little peach bow.
Oh, Jesus. Beautiful, beautiful.
It's real cute. Does it have a marsupial pouch?
Of course it does.
And very, very, like, round around the tummy.
A little bit of a muffin top.
So you transform into this fiery
fay dragon with water, mist swirling around you.
What are you doing, Imogen?
I'm going to cast television.
telekinesis and try to lift up Al and just softball him up in the air so Fern can
chomp in the air.
Let's go.
So go ahead and wolf telekinesis you roll for your attack as a dragon fern.
Okay.
And I'm stressed so I'm still at advantage.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, that's so bad.
21.
That's okay.
I'm 26 with hope.
That's you both get to take 26 with hope.
Yes.
Come on.
Asked we.
We both get a hope.
We both get a hope.
We both get a hope.
Oh my gosh.
I haven't had hope in so long.
Relatable.
Very relatable.
Okay.
So that is 4D10, but because I have the spark of Roshan up, I get an extra D10.
Does that still count?
Yeah.
Great.
So 5D10.
And I'm going to chuck him up in the air so he falls back down and...
Let's go.
Spark of Roshan is magic too, right?
It's whatever damage you're dealing.
Oh, that's right.
Okay.
That's right.
New rules.
2D12 is all, but that's okay.
They're good.
Little, little, little.
Okay.
14, and I'm going to add the one extra point
for my Rewidian damage right here.
Okay.
Sorry.
The math is up there.
Shut up.
Oh, I can't.
Okay, wait.
That's 41 points of damage.
All right.
That's 11.
And I do 18 points of damage.
You know, that's something.
Listen.
All right.
Is yours physical as well?
For telekinesis?
It technically is.
All right.
So that's going to be 50.
59.
59?
That's going to be two hit points marked on Malfazu as you get lobbed into the air and then down
into the fiery jaws.
What is happening?
Okay.
You get shaking like a dog with a new toy.
I was going to do this, but I realized I didn't have any stress.
That's good.
It's still your spotlight.
We should just call Nana Mori, right?
We gotta get out of here.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Thurn?
Third.
Make the call.
Nana!
Yes.
Wait, can we?
What?
Oh, no, that's how we got it.
Never mind.
Yeah, the staff is spent.
Yeah, no, no, Maury!
We need you!
Someone want to smack this idiot while we're here?
Yeah, I'll run and leap off the tower.
Flea jump, spend distress, come down from the heavens.
I wish I had three, no.
You land down there from the top.
I'm all out of my stress, so I can't do any powerful spells.
That's why I...
It's pathetic.
I just go, I give image a little bit of a back rub.
It's my back, but thank you.
But it's...
Another strategic approach to do it.
at advantage, a token.
What are you trying here or?
I'm leaping off the tower.
I spent distress to flee jump into the air
and land on top of out.
Right, what you did right here.
Oh, that lands me there.
And where would you want to land?
Oh, I thought it was on the top of the tower,
but I'm not.
No, you're over here.
I'll leap of that distance, far distance,
and then I will use my movement to close the distance
and attack.
On him?
Yeah.
Okay, make an agility roll to make that distance.
Yep, I do that at advantage as well.
Yeah, Brayette, yeah, you're in melee.
Are you sure you want to make an agility roll?
17 with fear.
Okay.
That does succeed, though, and that gets you there.
Okay, and I still get a hope because I'm of my build.
Indeed.
I'm going to attack.
I'm going to take that.
With advantage.
On my turn.
Spotlight's on you, buddy.
Thank you.
You got a few figures around you.
You got Laudna over there.
You got Imogen back there.
You got Brayas, and you got now a tiny little halfling orb.
Since I'm in the job.
of this beautiful creature.
I will not swing my blade.
I will use Hellfire.
Let's go. Marka Stress.
Thank you.
Wait, I didn't hit with that attack?
That was your agility role to get up to there.
Just to get to him.
Understood.
That's the challenge of going that extra mile
with the fear roll.
Everyone within close range
has to make an agility reaction role.
That's all of you except for
Chetney and Dorian and
Ashton.
I'm still on that tower.
Agility roll?
Agility reaction roll.
Okay.
I can't.
I lost my dice.
Oh, wait, here it is.
Eleven.
How much damage is that?
That's 28 magical damage.
And you lose a hope.
And you lose a hope.
Great.
All right.
Loddna.
17.
17 is a success.
So you take.
half that damage.
Whatever half that is.
14.
14.
All right.
All right.
I went through...
28.
Half a fete 14 magical damage.
Imogen.
I rolled in 11, so I also take 28 points.
28 points of magic damage and you lose a hope?
Yes.
21.
You take 14 points of magic damage.
Okay.
All right.
That'll conclude your activation.
When Malfazzo dies damage to a PC,
they must mark two armor slots instead of one.
That's right.
So any one to reduce that damage.
You got to reduce two arms.
The rush is here as you're all starting to gather on that point.
That's going to end our go.
Spellights back to you.
We've got to hit the sky to death.
Yes, with magic.
With magic.
With magic.
That would be preferable.
My thing does magic does yours?
I have no spells left because I'm all stressed out.
Liam, you're next to him too, right?
No, but I can attack pretty heavily.
Okay.
You have your weapons still, your standard.
I also have three.
Oh my God, my star is a sparking bowl!
Working Bolt.
Yeah.
Your what?
Was that English?
What did you just say?
Oh no.
I definitely should have done that and still telekinesia.
That's all good.
That's how we learned.
It's fine.
Who's going?
I'm just going to hit him.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Are you tag teaming or are you just so?
I don't have any hope.
Do you have enough for a tag team?
Yeah.
Let's do it.
This whole time seedling regenerates and I keep regenerating and my build.
so like I'm just a hope machine.
I'm so hopeful.
You're such a hopeful guy.
Yeah, I'll spend the three hope, tag team.
There we go.
Let's do it.
Mother grub.
And I'll use my final strategic approach
to add damage this time.
Okay.
I'm gonna use my third personal value.
There is evil and good and no in between.
And now I have chosen good.
And I will roll with a D20.
Let's go.
Okay.
That's 25 to hit, 27 to hit.
27 to hit with fear.
Oh.
I'm swapping in tactician for one stress.
I can roll with the D20s, my hope dies.
So I'm at 28 with hope.
Let's go.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Roll damage, motherfuckers. Take your hope.
Let's add this up.
Let's go.
This is the thing.
This is the one.
Come on.
Bye.
Bye.
Whoa!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whoa.
It's a 42 for me.
So 42 for me.
So 42.
Physical damage.
Yeah.
It becomes 21 damage against you.
Right.
21.
And what are you doing magic damage?
38 magic damage, but I'm going to use the other poison pen
acid splash to it deal an additional 3D8.
So that's another.
So that's 45 magical damage.
Yeah.
That just crosses the severe threshold.
How do you want to do this?
Yes!
That's all right.
That's so perfect.
Where is?
Yeah, that's just right.
That's just right.
I spin around.
around twice with my flail and I'll go high, you go low?
Sure, yes.
Yes.
I will knock the head off this guy at,
sort of at the crown of his head,
so his horns are what go flying.
And Orum streaks in down low towards Brayas' calf
and I grab it like a stripper pole,
and I swing around and slash and slash
and cut away the demon's tendon, the devil's tendon.
And I will, as I do this, I'll just say to him,
there's a baby out there somewhere.
That baby is next.
That's right, I'm gonna go kill a baby devil.
Orum comes to a halt and says, wait, what?
Yeah, I'm gonna kill a baby.
Or at least find it.
At least find it.
Maybe I won't kill it.
It's probably really cute.
With the contract acquired and the two last major devils
he'll keeping guard, there's a moment in time
where a number of devils begin to crawl out
of the nearby hills to give chase.
You all gather together and shout out once more
to Nana Mori.
There you watch in the center of this single flickering
fiery portal opens.
And on the other side, you see a hand beckon.
Come on, girl, come on quick.
one by one you all charge through
as it shuts behind you
and you find yourselves once more
standing in the comfort
of the ligament manner.
Tattered
burned
but alive.
The contract sits in your hands.
What do you do with it?
I'm going to walk it up to
the woman it belongs to.
and hand it up to Fern.
I'm gonna eat it.
Like a goat on the farm.
Furn devours the contract, and as you do,
the mark on your hand burns away.
Never again.
As it does, you feel a shift within.
And Nana Mori pulls into a pouch and goes,
Well, let's see, I'm curious myself.
And she tosses that same silver triangle of dust around you.
Your aura flares up, and that one mass section
that was since bound to the hells
has since shifted to the dark green fay color
giving majority stake in your
spirit to your Nana Mori.
The delegate stands there.
Well then, I'll return with unhappy news to Seminar.
I'm sure the Unseile Court will be happy to hear that such an agent has been lost.
This won't be the last time you hear from us.
And they turn and leave with their armed cadre.
As soon as Lickament Manor is left open, more returns.
My sweet girl.
Oh, Nana.
Thank you all so much for keeping my sweet granddaughter safe.
You get to stay.
I understand.
But I'll have more tasks for you.
But for now, let's throw a party.
As all of the various strange critters begin to pull out from the shadows, all the wonderful,
beloved, terrifying creatures that you call friends begin to put up streamers and music begins
to play.
And here for a moment of respite, Bell's Hells, you throw a party in freeing your friend,
Fern Callaway from terrifying
oaths and the promise of eternal ash.
And with that, we conclude our story for the night.
Thank you so much for joining us.
A big round of applause for our guest, Monster GMs,
Jeremy Clufford and Chris Perkins.
We love you very much and is it Thursday, Ed.
Good night.
