Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, beautiful. I'm not taking no for an answer there. Now, Doran. 40. Oh my gosh. I'm a cat now. Meow. Ask me about the astroplane. Sailor Moon.
Starting point is 00:00:10 Daddy, save me. This poor guy, I better save him. You're next. The job ain't done till the job's done. I have my revenge. I got its attention. He's the real winner here. How do you spell trussum?
Starting point is 00:00:20 Cook, cook, cook. Um, sorry. Yeah. I thought you were saying cuck. I'm going to cuck this fucking giant. Puckin' rude. A real turn. I'm going to have to Google Cuck now.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Welcome back to Dice Shame. This is Season 2, Episode 19, Starry-Ey-Eyed. MVP this week is Liz for our Discord, who is currently working their way through our backlog, and has just reached episode 21, saying that Joe voicing the Wormling is their new favorite thing. Thank you, Liz. You're our new favorite thing. Thanks, Liz. How It Ends is a biweekly audio drama that intertwines grief, dreams, memory, and mystery. Micah Jones starts a podcast to put her nightmares to rest, but accidentally uncovers something much darker, something she was never meant to find. If you're looking for a new spooky show to check out this year, start with our friends at How It Ends.
Starting point is 00:01:21 You can check out links to listen at their website, How It Ends, podcast.com. Or follow them on socials at How It Ends Studio. It's an awfully fun show. Sure is. All right, shall we do this? Yeah, let's do it. Woo. So I had a really, it wasn't a really stressful day because of work, but it was because at the end of the day, I was trying to get a whole of this company.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And first of all, you call in and you get like the automated voice. They're like, so there's like a long pause and they're like, please describe what. what you were calling about. Oh, those are the worst. And then so you say it, and then it keeps guiding you, it keeps guiding you, and I keep hitting zero because, like, I'm busy. There's, like, a problem with this programming of this website, and you need to have an account.
Starting point is 00:02:11 It's all basics within financials and stuff like this, but it was an issue with the programming. Anyways, long story short, I was really stressed out about this. It just kind of ruined the end of my day. Aw. And I was so stressed. And so I went downstairs, and my family. family wasn't home yet and I cranked up the hardest, heaviest punk I listened to and I just sat in front of the stereo and I let it like blast me and I just close my eyes and let it thump out my chest and like, you know, it was noise in my ears and I just for a few minutes I actually, it actually dissipated all my stress. So my question to you guys is what is it that you do to help you de-stress at the end of a stressful day or situation.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Well, first of all, I'm so sorry that you had to freaking deal with that and good on you for taking the punk music break that you needed to recalibrate. The hardest, heaviest, because I'm in too deep. In my head I'm dispatching, it's like you just turn on your like time to get fucked up and it saves the day. Hit me, baby, one month, ten. And it's just like, it's just like, the sun will be coming. The bench seven-fold.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Dead City Punks. There's really something to that. I can think of a handful of songs also where if I remember that, oh, music just feels good. Stop and listen to it, idiot. You'll feel better in five minutes. If I can remember that, it's just almost doesn't matter what it is, but you go to your favorites and something will come up and it'll be like, oh, yeah, those are the good endorphins. They're happening now. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Please, sir, crumb of serotonin. It's true, right? video games help me a ton honestly I would say whether it be something new or something that I get to play with my lovely wife or something like that I know really really well like honestly to this day
Starting point is 00:04:09 I still play a ton of doom because I can play it while watching something else I can play it while listen to music and I find like the combined aspect of distracting my mind and listening to something comforting is really nice for stress because most of the things that I stress about
Starting point is 00:04:26 unfortunately, don't really have, you know, like the nature of my work nowadays isn't like nine to five in the sense of, you know, like I'm, it's kind of like constant. It's like, oh, I can, I can work a little bit tonight. Right. And I'll work tomorrow morning and then I'll work. Yeah. You know, it's just kind of constantly working, which it's nice because it's like lower. It's more impulse, you know, it's not, no, no one's ringing me off the hook between these hours, but it's also constant. So it's like a tradeoff, you know. That's that part of finding finding a way to actually say I'm taking a break now
Starting point is 00:04:56 I'm turning that part of the... Well, but it's also the tradeoff right in the terms of like it's nicer in a way because I can stop I can go downstairs
Starting point is 00:05:04 for an hour or two and have lunch like I don't have that pressure of having to take my phone off the hook but also at nine o'clock if people in the UK need to talk to me
Starting point is 00:05:11 I need to be available so it's like you know I don't to me it's a fair trade because I would much rather be low stress constantly than high stress between these eight hours
Starting point is 00:05:22 both suck but it's just the reality of it. Regardless, distracting myself with like a video game that I really love because just listening the music nowadays isn't enough for me because my mind will still be pumping through and like trying to think about it as well. So video games, love video games. Fucking anyone who says video games are bad just hasn't played enough. Some of them are. It turns out there's a bell curve. For me it really depends whether it's a situation that I can distance myself from or whether I have to muscle through it.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Like when I'm at work, I'm sometimes in a stressful situation that I can't really just like take a break from because there's some emergency happening. So in that situation, I feel like if I just stop for a second and take stock of what's happening in my brain and sort of reorder my thoughts, I'm usually able to make the stress go away just by like tackling it head on. here's the five things that I have to do immediately to make this situation like downgrade to just have a plan to urgent yeah right so just like mentally ordering myself but when it's something that I can actually disengage from I really love sleeping that's so good a nap fucking is transported
Starting point is 00:06:47 being able to just like close my eyes and to reset everything that's happening in my brain and in my body and to just get away from whatever situation it is that's stressing me out it's so, that's my number one for sure is taking a little nap. Love that shit. Yeah. I think I do the I think I do the opposite because I just
Starting point is 00:07:07 walk and I walk and I walk and I walk and I walk. I put on headphones and I walk and that's always what I've done is just listen to music or listen to nothing. Headphones are a great way to get people to just not talk to you. Not talk. Yeah. Or to ignore them if they try to talk to you and you're like what's that sorry I've got earbuds in? Have you ever had someone try to take your earbuds out of your ears?
Starting point is 00:07:28 No. If they did, I'd slap. No. It happened to me once on public transit and I almost lost my mind. I would probably flip out. I just walk and I think I and I, which is like my, I have up, my walk to work when I do it is like 75 minutes. Oh, wow. And I do it both ways.
Starting point is 00:07:50 so uphill in the snow uphill on the way back um and uh and it's uh it's a good time to just really really marinate whatever's pissing me off yeah does it help or do you just enjoy like stewing stewing yeah i like i like the time i need to like cool down i've learned that like i don't i'm not a good person like if i don't if i don't take that time to like step back from the thing that's pissing me off, I'm probably going to like just be like more mad. It's only going to make me worse in the situation. So if I just sort of like step back and like go for the walk and I come back and I'm like, now I can deal with this. Or I just text somebody and say, hi, can I be petty for a moment? Yeah. Yeah. I'm just really petty. That's great. Yeah. But I think we all,
Starting point is 00:08:40 we all have those moments where you're just like, I just got to be mad. I just got to tell somebody how pissed I am. Oh, definitely. Yeah. I should clarify. You know, like I was, I was, I was, I was at work. It wasn't necessarily work. I was the consumer at this point. It's like when you call your telephone company or something. And they just, you kind of go around in these circles.
Starting point is 00:09:01 And you're just like, okay, I'm the customer here. Why am I getting treated? Like, why can't I get any further ahead? And you know, I was on 20 minutes trying to verify my identity
Starting point is 00:09:11 and finally I verify it. She's like, oh, I can't help you with this issue. I'm going to transfer you. Five minutes on hold and that call dropped. No. And I was like, I'm not starting this fucking process again right now.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Just graduated to a tomorrow problem. That reminds me of Harlan and I trying to get our P.O. box. Harlan and I went to the post office like three, four, five separate times individually together. And the person behind the desk was either like, I don't know how to do that. When someone does know how to do it. I don't know how to do that. Oh, it was even worse because after that happened, I called them. So we showed up there and they're like, we don't have any.
Starting point is 00:09:47 So I called the other location. I was like, do you have them? They're like, yeah. And I was like, you know what, just to check, I'll call the one we already visited that said they don't have any. Just to kind of catch their bluff. And she goes, oh, yeah, we have them. We have plenty. I'm like, well, we just were in there.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I was like, she's like, oh, well, you know what? The manager can only do them? I was like, okay, what time is the manager in? Three to seven. I'm like, can you confirm how many you have? She's like, we've got plenty. I was like, cool. So I show up at 630 and I'm like, I want to rent a peal box.
Starting point is 00:10:11 She goes, oh, we don't have any. I go, no, you do. Absolutely. Like, I just talked to somebody. And it was her. And she goes, like her face drains of color. She goes, she's like, I don't know how to do it. I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:24 She's like, I don't, I just don't know how to do it. I was like, so what are you telling me? She's like, you have to come back. I'm like, no, no, but you told me to come back at this time. Like, it's three to seven. It's 6.30. You told me to come. So I just, I was like, I can lose my shit here and I'll walk out without a PO box.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Or I could just walk out without a PO box. So I was like, okay, turned around and came home. And then I told Joe, and we called again and confirmed. And then Joe went back in. And she's like, yeah, we don't have any P.O. boxes. What the fuck? And the manager is like, yeah, no, we've never had any. I talked to the postmaster.
Starting point is 00:10:55 And she's like, no, I'm sorry, we've, we don't have any. You can go to this other one. So I went to the other post office to get a P.O. box. There are stickers on the P.O. boxes that say, rent me. I'm high. I'm available. You can have me. I'm one of the P.O. boxes. I'm single and horny.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And so I asked, and this is a totally different post office. and I'm like, so we want to rent a P.O. box and she just goes, oh, I'm really sorry. I don't know how to do that. What? A totally separate location. She said, can you come back in like maybe four hours or on Monday? And I really can't. No, I cannot. I can't do that. In four hours. We're going to figure this out together. I said, I'm willing to stand here while you call someone who will tell you how to do this thing that you're supposed to do for your job. That you know how, that you should know how to do. And she was like, And then you do the pulling the earbed out of the ear and you step around the counter. And you go, let's get the manual. Excuse me. Both of my parents worked for the post office. We'll figure this. My mother was the postmaster of our local. But good on you because she, the lady did do it.
Starting point is 00:12:02 She knew how to do it. She just fucking lied to your face. She just lied to my face. And I was like, I'm going to stand here until you do it for me. Wow. That's the kind of bullshit that just really gets under my skin. Grimes my gears. I care to a degree and then I go
Starting point is 00:12:20 Whatever, who fucking cares But I wanted you to get your Gardettos I still don't really understand what they are I haven't both look at them It's Harlan's favorite snack mix I refuse to learn anything Until I could put one in my face Okay Rob Rob
Starting point is 00:12:36 Whatever the fucking culture at the post office is That people are so afraid to say no on the phone And also so afraid to go tell their manager I don't know how to do this. Can you help me learn how to do this? Because I've been asked it twice today by these people. Like they're saying yes and no. That's the,
Starting point is 00:12:52 like I'm not necessarily mad at that worker, although that shit's pretty ignorant to say yes on the phone twice when you don't. And then to say, no, I don't know how fine, we'll do it. Yeah, I was more baffled at like, what's your end game here? Like you called, you told me to come at this time. You knew you were working at this time. Do you think maybe the phone calls are recorded and so they have to say the correct response? But when you come in, they're like, she just deer and headlighted me.
Starting point is 00:13:15 She was like, uh, I was like, but you, like, you did, you knew this. You played yourself, son. Yeah, but you told me to come in at this time. Should have told me to come in when you weren't working. Why don't you say, I don't know, I will find out. Can you have five minutes? Like the idea that that's not. Or I don't know and I'm never going to help you.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I don't know. I ain't doing shit. Or I don't know and I will, I'll try to wait you out. But if you keep standing there, I guess I'll do it for you. You know what we really need? Jack's magic letters. We do. Because these don't require a post office, they don't require a PO box, they don't require nothing.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Slight hitch, they do require magic, and they each take an hour to write. Oh, my God, Rob. It's always something with you. And you know what? In the world of D&D, when you're really stressed out, you just get out your battle axe and you take it out on a party of goblins, you know? We can do anything. That's true. Shall we play?
Starting point is 00:14:09 Let's play some D&D. Let's do it. Oh! The light here is an almost tangible, physical thing. There must be some origin, but its source is unclear. The sky is simply bright. The division of sky and land is uncertain, for there is some distant horizon, a flat line of peach,
Starting point is 00:14:36 but the ground mirrors the bright sky, reflecting pink light back up and everywhere. It would invoke vertigo to any sense, soul to perceive it for the first time, but a stone giant does not exactly possess a sensitive soul. Blinking into existence, some 20 feet in the air, and then caught by gravity, slamming to the ground, the giant discovers with a massive splash that the ground is covered with about a foot of cool water. Thousands of pearl-colored flowers float on the surface in all directions, water lilies whose pale, slender petals are crushed by the uncaring giant
Starting point is 00:15:15 as he takes to his feet and looks around in wild confusion, dripping. A moment, realization sets in, and he bellows blood and rage up to the uncaring, peaceful sky. Jack, it's your turn. Jack sees red banished this stone. giant knows we're all got a couple of seconds to focus everything we got at this remaining stone giant so he pulls out his wand pets curing one time in case this is the end and dashes out of cover heading towards the stone giant whoa he flicks out the wand and all of these force weapons sort of conjure out behind him and start smashing into
Starting point is 00:16:01 this thing as he gets closer and closer which is magic missiles with all the alchemical jazz he can possibly put into it so it's six missiles at fourth level. Jesus. How close do you run? I'm going to get 30 feet closer and then he should be within 30 feet. You're crazy, man. There's no chance this works, but Red's going to save me.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Did he say my name? I didn't hear that. He didn't say Daddy. Save me Daddy, yes. Daddy save me. He knows it's my code name. All right, beautiful. Runs right out of cover at this thing. Throws every weapon. in his arsenal at it mixed with all the alchemical jazz he can get and that adds up to six missiles doing 94 damage with all that kind of extra and then he tries his hardest with his mind
Starting point is 00:16:51 to push this creature back he knows it's a slim chance but he wants to throw it back into that moonbeam so bad are you trying to make his strength check against this giant Can it make me a strength saving throw DC-17? You're just pushing it with his hands? With his mind. He's just, he's telekinetically shoving it. He knows magic in his head,
Starting point is 00:17:15 and he's going to push this thing back. 24. Well, okay, I tried. I prefer the idea of Jack running over and going, eh, eh,
Starting point is 00:17:23 eh, I mean, there's a very Jedi, like, try to push it back, and I think maybe it just almost waivers, but doesn't.
Starting point is 00:17:30 But I got its attention. Yeah, you did that. Oh, you definitely did that. Mari, it's your turn. Is moving the moon being a bonus action, or is it stuck now? It moves.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah. You can move it to where Jack is. Yeah. On to Jack. Just kill Jack. Do it. Just put me out of my misery. Just be like, oh, this poor guy, I better save him.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Zap. And then Mari just looks at me like that picture with the girl in the burning building in the back in the background. I'm like, nodding slowly. And I'm like, now Doran. you take them out we get a boat we just get the fuck out of here does the moon bean work like if you end your turn on that space you have to roll enters for the first time or starts its turn there oh it should have taken damage at the start of its last turn oh yeah it should have yes can we apply that please thank you
Starting point is 00:18:29 not take a no for an answer there who the fuck was that talking just i liked it I'm very assertive. 13, so it's a failed save. Which means it's going to take how much damage? 4D10. Wow. It's too many dice. Oh my gosh, you roll 10 times four.
Starting point is 00:18:50 What are the odds? One in 10. That's 10d4. Crazy. 14 damage. Excellent. Okay. Yes, so it's just sizzling away and glittering as well.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Wonder when we're going to see Mary Wild Shape. I also, I don't feel like it would have. help right now. No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't. Yeah. She just feel like, I'm a cat now,
Starting point is 00:19:10 and you're like, how good is it? Meow. Thanks. What I'm hoping is we're like in the belly of the stone giant's fort and everything's fucked and you're like,
Starting point is 00:19:20 okay, guys, and then you just become a giant spider and we're like, what? Just a side note. I was like, when you guys talk about the tressum, I was like, oh, and I tried to look it up and if you spell that wrong, it goes, did you mean threesome? And then it just pulls up so much
Starting point is 00:19:33 pornography. It's like, oh, no. No. Did you mean threesome? Word to the Y. Locals in your area are looking for all our listeners. I spelled it wrong and it just thought I meant threesome and there is so much porn that came up. Tresum.
Starting point is 00:19:47 How to spell Tresum? T-H-R-E-E-E-E-E-E-S-O-M-E-E-S-O-E-E-S-O-E-S-S-Y-M. Yeah. Wow, it actually really does. Yeah. How do you spell T-R-E-S-S-Y-M? O T-R-E-S-S-Y-M. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Thre-S-S-S-Y-M. Trism. Search. I'm going to call them threesomes from now on. You see a stone threesome. T-R-Y-S-S-Y-M for our listeners. It's quite a nice bust, really. All right, Marie. It's your turn. What do you do? She sees the giant that's moving, I guess, lumbering towards Jack or staring at Jack that's just, it's just so fucking mad now. It's got its arm out ready to petrify and everything. Yes. And she, so she swings her arms and smooth. the beam over so it's it slams right into that giant it's covering him again oof as he's uh as he's engulfed in this in this glittering light oof oof indeed i'm gonna make another saving throw constitution save correct yes yeah cook them because i'm gonna be in trouble if you don't 23 that's that's real
Starting point is 00:20:59 save how much damage do i take 13 marie what does it look like when you dissolve this stone giant into dust. Nice. That was lucky. He had 12 hit points left. Oh, beautiful. This beam of light comes over it and she watches and just tries to hold this beam there as it just starts to pull away the little pieces of rock. They almost start to look like ash, but they drop and turn into little tiny pieces of
Starting point is 00:21:26 gravel that dissolve down into the ground. And there's this big steaming pile of bits of rock that you can just see in amongst the snow and just all of this heavy, heavy steam coming up from it. And there's a club just falls down beside it like Looney Tune's style a little bit late. Excellent. All right. At the end of this next Stone Giant's turn, it returns from its brief vacation in the Astral Plain.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Send me back. Ask me about the Astroplane T-shirt. That's right. What's the plan with this one? We're going to talk to it. So the giant appears in this shimmering cloud of astral dust, which has a very peculiar cinnamon scent. Oh. And just to watch his friend dissolved in the thing.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yep. Just in time. You're next. Unfortunately, it's no less terrible and xenophobic than before. Doran. My husband. Doran, it's your turn. Doran kind of in the midst of getting up onto his knees and dusting himself off after lying face first in the snow.
Starting point is 00:22:33 sees that for one moment there's no other giant left he sees the one dissolve and then he's thinking a sigh of relief not knowing what has actually occurred only to see it up here again and he's like oh okay I guess this is not done
Starting point is 00:22:50 and he's gonna charge he's gonna just take it head on he's gonna charge against this giant the job ain't done till the job's done excellent Doran is going to now that he's made his way to the giant And he's going to start hacking at his toes again. Because that's what little dwarves do.
Starting point is 00:23:08 That's going to be a 26 to hit. Doren, toe biter, they call him. They call him Iron Fist. I don't know why. That's because he was a baby and he nipped on his toes a lot. And I don't know how I rolled a 17 on a D12. No, it was a 26 to hit. And that's going to be, oh, 11.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's called cheating. 19 damage. 19. Excellent. Yes, sir. One toe comes off and another toe. Oh, luckily they have 26 toes. Going to have to be a re-roll.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Because I'll tell you what. A one don't hit nothing. I'll tell you what. I can't, I can either confirm nor deny. And this is going to be a 20 to hit. Ooh, okay. Doing 30, 20. Twenzoni.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Nine points of damage. I rolled a one. That's orc splitter. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What's your problem, Doris?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Nine damage? Yes. You don't quite do another amputation. No. That was insufficient. You just remove a toenail. Yeah. Insufficient.
Starting point is 00:24:13 You give it a pedicure. How do you like them? Peanuts. Huh? Dorn kind of barks up at the giant. The stone giant looks down to you quizzically. It's never heard that expression before. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:25 And Doran does like a shrug, staring back up at the giant. I don't know. I was just thrown. Red. It's your turn. Red is going to fire an arrow. That is going to be 19 hit. Yes, you do.
Starting point is 00:24:41 And I'm going to try to beguile it. So I'm going to choose one of my allies within 30 feet, which is going to be Doran. And this target must succeed on a wisdom saving throw, or it's charmed by Doran until the start of my next turn. Whoa. Huh. Yeah. Actually, wait, hold on. Is Jack 30 feet? I was going to say, and you choose Doren. Well, because rightfully so, Jack is too far.
Starting point is 00:25:10 So it's only Dorn. It has to be 30 feet. Here we go. That's fine. I am charming. It is a wisdom saving throw, and I can tell you the saving throw will be. I'll tell you the number, and then you can tell me if I hit it. That way no one's like, ah, she's fucking fudging rolls. I always worry that people are like, sure.
Starting point is 00:25:27 I'm not playing fair I did I did hit a 17 15 is the throw so you passed so we're good so this is just going to take damage
Starting point is 00:25:37 but it was worth trying yeah I love that idea good thinking good thinking inside of the I got brains as well as beauty I'm all laughing
Starting point is 00:25:47 red or Carlin oh sorry are we supposed of commenting on that again no it's best not I know I'm beautiful
Starting point is 00:25:57 I know I'm beautiful. Shut up, baby. I know it. Shut up, baby, I know it. 15, no, it's going to be more. But we'll just go with that. 15 damage for the first one. Cool.
Starting point is 00:26:08 And I will attack again. This time, I'm just going to try to hurt it. I'm going to use my inspiration. Get it. That would be a natural 20. No. On the same die, I already rolled it on two. Roll your damage die twice.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Hey. Zorb, Alex. Great soar. He did it. Apply the modifier once. You got it. It's the real winner here. Yeah, I mean, it's proof positive.
Starting point is 00:26:36 We've been playing for three years. Let's do it. It spreads time. Red, it's your time. Do, do, de, do, de, do, de, do, de, do, do, do, de, d. 37 damage. Nice. All right, Jack, it's your turn.
Starting point is 00:26:50 So we want to talk to this guy, right? That's our ultimate. Yes. Yeah, we want to torture him. I mean, question him. Yes, we want to question this guy 100%. But I also recognize that if we don't whittle him down a little bit, there's going to be no argument for him to talk to us.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Yeah, we have to take him to the point of... Well, magic is the argument. The argument is magic. Having... But do you have charm... Do you have a charm person? No, I got suggestion. And I can suggest for the next eight hours he...
Starting point is 00:27:15 Be polite and talk with us. And see what that does. That's going to say. I'm going to keep whittling him down while we try those things. All right. Jack, Rob, I'm going to request maybe you don't do it yet. because if we bring him to the point where he's on his knees and what's that, it's not the death blow,
Starting point is 00:27:31 but then you hold it back a bit. What's that called? Yeah, you can deal non-lethal damage. If we get him to that point and then you do the suggestion thing, it might be a little bit more effective. Mechanically, it won't be. So I'm just going to not be in their line of sight soon.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Sure. Okay, fair enough. Jack whips out, Desan's wand, and fires a firebolt right in the face of this giant, trying to blind him for a second so he can get a moment to get out of the way. Firebolt. Fireball.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Like tennis. Now you get to roll a hit. Yeah. I think Rob likes to roll a hit sometimes, so that's why he's got fireball. Damn right. It's 18. Yeah, you just hit. For 10 fire damage.
Starting point is 00:28:09 He's found the secret AC, everyone. And then Jack rushes 30 feet away, trying to hide behind some of the old structures that are poking out of the ground here. Excellent, excellent. That makes you even more of a target for a stone giant, you know? Well, they got to, I guess. All right, Mari, you're up. What happens next? I'm going to cast just to help everyone else.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Create food and water. Yeah, I'm going to cast Goodberry. And then I put the berries in my pocket for later. Yeah. I just want to be prepared. Because I know everyone's going to want a snack after the battle's done. You know, like some orange slices. You can move your moon beam 60 feet, right?
Starting point is 00:28:54 It's still going, I guess, because that guy, even though he's dead. It just keeps going. It's cooking. Yeah, girl. I'll do something as a bonus. I'll do something as a bonus this time. It'll be fun. One day.
Starting point is 00:29:05 I can do something cool as a bonus. You can just like, sit down. You're just throwing your sunglasses. I'm just, she's just sitting there. I'm going to move in the wave and moving a fucking beam around. Everyone else is running into battle. She's like, ha ha ha ha ha. I'm doing jazz hands.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Yeah, Jack, have you considered getting a fucking beam to do all the work for you? I used to have a nice ball, but it's true um she sees jack run and hide behind the pile of rubble after casting fireball tactical retrieval fireball it's very spy with back up against the ducking around the corner james bond style uh stop trying to sell us on you being a spy i want to be a harper so bad she can see this thing just like turn around and just and just like stare at him and she's just like god she's like damn it again and she shifts moonbeam over so that it engulfs this thing. Finally, I have my revenge.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I don't even need it. Now, Doran. She pushes it over towards red just to be evil. Oh, no. It turns out it was chaotic evil this whole time. I know, I know. Played it well. 22 to save.
Starting point is 00:30:16 So half damage. Seven damage. Okay. But I'm going to do a bonus action. which is starry form. Oh, this is brand new for you. This is brand new for me. And it's, you were saying I don't do wild shape.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Well, I can do wild shape in things that aren't animals. What? Which is even better. Right after she moves that, she puts her hand on the little necklace that's around her neck. And this sort of glittering light sort of starts at her hand and then spreads out all across her, engulfing her in this shape.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Like sailor moon. Kind of, yeah, basically, yes. Joe is well aware of the discussion that we had about. She does the thing with the leg kick. It's great. It engulfs her and on her back, their forms with a bunch of arrows. Because she's taking on the archer form. She looks over her red because he's in the tree, not far from her.
Starting point is 00:31:16 She gives him a big old wink. Does anyone see this transformation? Because, Mara, you're like way in the back. Durett's the only one who could maybe see her. All they see is just this silvery bolt has come flying out, just sailing from between the trees out into this giant and just pings straight into it and disappear. But clearly it pushes them back.
Starting point is 00:31:39 It's like altogether different from the magic missile or from Red's arrows. Yeah. There's this like lance of light. As it sails by, there's like a little trail of stars behind it that just wink out just sort of slowly. They leave like little patterns in your eyes. That's cool as hell.
Starting point is 00:31:56 So, yeah, I rolled a 24 to attack. Whoa. Rock and roll. That absolutely hits. And just eight damage. Excellent. Cool. So it's the Giants turn because now this moon beam is on it again.
Starting point is 00:32:10 It's going to continue searing and sizzling. It's flash. That's a 13. That's a fail. Ooh. Oh, shit. How much damage is that deal? Cuck, Cuck, Cuck.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I thought you were saying Cuck. I'm going to cuck this fucking giant. A real turn. I thought it was a joke on the Tressum. I'm going to have to Google Cuck now. Yeah. That's 22 damage. Threesome cuck.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Are you kidding me? No. So you killed the giant, I think, with 13 damage who had 12 hit points left. This giant has 21 hit points left. MVP R. Yes. Marry's like, I'm getting a taste for this. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Sizzling stone giant, here we come. Where's that tressum? I want to kill again. I thought you said these guys were tough. You've awakened something in me, Red. I like this. And with that, the stone giant just gets pulverized to dust by the weight of this energy spewing down from the heavens. Mari just sort of walks up from behind this tree.
Starting point is 00:33:18 she's been hiding behind this entire time. Wait. Didn't we want to question him? Um. You just like look at the pile of dust on the ground. What the fuck? Thank you. Thank you once again to our wonderful Patreon supporters,
