Starting point is 00:00:00 Get that dice in the garbage. Well, deserved advantage taken. What's going on over there? Start rolling. Then he holds the giant. Oh, man. I'm a hero, guys. Could be the time.
Starting point is 00:00:13 This could be the moment. It's good against rocks. Fail your giant. Come on, buddy. What's holding this guy up? Is that an athletics check? This is a bad idea for me. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:00:23 Come on, loser. Jack's prone on top of this, too. That's a natural one and a two. No. Oh, my gosh. Get that dice in the garbage. What's going on over there. For shame.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. Goodbye. Orange die. Welcome back to Dice.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Welcome back to Dice. Shame. This is Season 2, episode 56, down to bedrock. MVP this week is Le Demiow. They're all cut up on Diasame, and they found us on the Discord. And they deserve a shout out. Thanks so much for listening along. Someone anonymous nominated you. Our good friends from Planet Arcana have just recently joined the Rusty Quill Network. DM'd by B and our friend Jay, follow Sky, Peter, and Sean as they venture their way
Starting point is 00:01:18 through a tightly edited, tarot-flavored, retro-futuristic D&D adventure. We're so happy to have them as coworkers. And if you're looking for more RPG podcast fun, look no further. you can check them out at planet arcana.com and make sure to check out after the credits and Stinger for Planet Arcana's trailer and get a taste of what you're missing. It's an awfully good show. All right, should we play some D&D? Yeah, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Deep in the pitch dark temple of Deadstone Cleft under the crushing, washing weight of the Grey Peak Mountains, the stone giant Thane, Calithica, addresses the threat of invading small folk. Doran, Red, Jack, and Mari, as the offending smallfolk have been valiantly trying to dodge throne boulders to perceive the threats in the darkness and avoid falling into the deep pits of mud below. Though the terrain isn't being cooperative in the slightest, huge juts of rock underneath Red, Jack, and Mari have thrust them up toward the cavern ceiling, suspended on these rock pillars that are moving. I want all three of you to make a dexterity saving.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Me too? I'm so far away. Yeah, it's still happening. 17. Jack Page rolls a 17. Golf announcer. I was just thinking that. Mari.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I rolled a natural 20 on that, so a 26. Hey! Hey, all right. Woohoo! I rolled a 12. Red with a 12. However, is this a spell or an ability that the giant is using? Yes, it's an ability.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Then I have advantage on my favorite enemy. Any spells or abilities that they use against me, I have advantage. Listen to you. Ah, there we go. 17? Okay, yeah. All three of you managed to cling to these rocky columns that are just cracking.
Starting point is 00:03:27 out of this jagged rock, you are all elevated about 30 feet in the air, and you hear similar occurrences kind of around the perimeter of the cavern as well. So it seems like the landscape here is changing. Hmm. Oh, oh boy. Red, it's your turn. So all three of you now are 30 feet above the ground. Wow. Oh, wow. Raji O'K back there? Yeah. If anything, it's better. I now have advanced. On this guy. Red pulls out his bow, and he still can't see this guy down there, unfortunately. He knows the general direction.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Can I maybe roll a perception to try to deduce exactly where he is? I did see him lit up for a moment. Yeah. Not mechanically, but, like, story-wise. And you heard him take a big fall in the grease. You kind of know. Good sounding things. Yeah, roll a perception check.
Starting point is 00:04:25 23. Okay, yeah. You can pick. out one of the many squares on our battle map where you think he would probably be. All right. And Red is going to fire with it normal.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Vantage. With just Vantage. With Norm Vantage. Literally. That's a natural one. No. That's a great. Natural one. Red, you miss, and a booger comes out of your nose. God, so bad. I'm so glad no one saw that.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Well, he like sneezed a chub and just fires into the ceiling. And I'll roll again. For shame. Shame. You got this? Shameful. 14 hit.
Starting point is 00:05:03 No. Damn. Screven, you try. Screvan is going to fly by and do another attack. Great. Attacks with advantage. Exactly. Giant is on the ground.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Take him away. Screven. You got this. That's a natural one and a two. No. Oh, my gosh. Come on. Get that dice in the garbage.
Starting point is 00:05:25 What's going on over there? For shame For shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. Goodbye, orange dye. Red is going to climb down this thing And he's going to run over to Mari And hide behind cover. Cool. So it's 30 feet down and 40 feet over.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Yeah, but I didn't move last turn So my female agility reset. Rock and roll. And I'm going to make sure I have cover. Mari is up on a precipice, by the way. I hide behind to a precipice. Yeah. Hi, Mari, I'm down here.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Hi, Red. How are you doing? Oh, I'm great. Crab Doren. Doren gets up and he's going to attack the giant with advantage. That's right. Well done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Good Jorin, Doren. Get this guy. Well deserved advantage taken. That's going to be a 27 to hit. Nice. 27 hits. And then. 27 hit.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Hike. Ooh, start rolling. And then he's going to do 32 damage. Whoa. Excellent. And he's grappled. Got you. Crab Doren attacks him and starts nipping at him.
Starting point is 00:06:36 And maybe he grabs his leg and an arm because he's like lying down and, you know, you see the claw and it's like crunching bone. The claw! The claw! But then he holds the giant in sort of like this awkward pose and he's grapple. and he's grappled. Nice. Well done, Doren. I can't see him, but I can hear his happy clicks.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Happy clacks. Making mouth clickies. Doran, from out of the darkness, a rock sails towards you. 16 to hit. Yeah. Do I have any thing here? Oh, I have crab defense. I haven't even been rolling with crab defense.
Starting point is 00:07:20 It's good against rocks. Crab rock catching. Crab fence. 21 damage. Wait, I'm sorry. That's okay, unless it's more. Then you can be sorry. 18 bludgeoning damage.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Yeah, that's okay. Doran, the giant that is being grappled by you is going to try to attack you. So that's like a disadvantage role? Yeah, unfortunately, because this creature is prone, he's going to be attacking with disadvantage because he's prone lying in this grease and because you've grappled him, his speed is zero,
Starting point is 00:07:56 so he can't stand up. Loser. But he's still going to try his best to swing his great club, ineffectually. Double disadvantage? No. In spirit of. You can't just keep adding to you adding dice.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I hold a 19 and 12. 12. So the 12 does not hit. And 12 misses you. For once. thanks to that grease that's totally worth it. And a 50. 15 on the second one.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Hey, don't beat yourself up, Jack. Does hit. Just a quick look behind the curtain. That's a natural five plus 10 to hit you. Wow. No wonder if he's hitting. Yeah. Hit,
Starting point is 00:08:41 hit somehow the giant is able to lift his other arm with a club and crack it across my head. Oh, it's because he's not using a stone club. He's using a fucking crab mallet. Yeah. Yeah. He's got advantage because he's just hungry. 20 bludgeoning damage.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Jesus. Are you still a crab? I am. Just barely. For six more hit points. I'm really excited for Doren to turn back into a dwarf and just be like clinging on to this giant's leg. How many crab points do you have left? Jack, it's your turn.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Jack tries one more time to use that momentum of the grapple to shove this guy off the bridge. You make me a strength saving throw. it go jack i can't one time it's gonna work one of these days this could be the time this could be the moment this must be the place um 14 that's a fail failure giant you can't stand up yet so dorin's grappling this giant and falls over the edge yeah dorin let go forced movement breaks grapples technically when it works to our favor no that's just generally yeah i mean you move him away from you, 15 feet? I move him five feet off the bridge.
Starting point is 00:09:56 He occupies nine by nine, so moving him five feet off of the bridge is not automatically going to dump him in the soup. What do we think it's going to do? We think he's probably going to get to make a... He's prone on a greasy surface. That's absolutely right. Hanging off the edge of a bridge. I don't think he's in danger just yet, but I will give him a dexterity saving throw just
Starting point is 00:10:18 just for funds to see how that goes. Cool. Sure. And that's a 24. So he doesn't feel it. So he's no longer grappled and still prone and still partly in the grease, but he is also no longer. He's not in mud territory just yet. And with the other hand, Jack reaches out and closes his fist and tries to grab onto the creature's spirit.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Can you make me a wisdom saving throat, please? 17. He is fine. I drop prone on top of my pillow. and try to be as inconspicuous as possible. Mari. I'm guessing I still can't get him with a ranged attack. You can do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:10:59 You can try. He's still lying down. He's still lying down. God damn it. I'm up higher though. Fuck this guy. Can I just climb down and offer help action to Red? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:09 It's going to be tricky for you to climb down. If you want, you can like try to hop slash slide and maybe if you do a good job, you won't take any bludgeoning damage. You can climb down. safely, but that's going to take more than your movement. So that'll eat your action. I want to take the risk. The hero way. And try to do, I want to take the hero way. I want to try to be cool. Is that an athletics check? This is a bad idea for me. I'm going to let you choose athletics or acrobatics, whichever one you're better at. If you want to do like a cartwheel at the
Starting point is 00:11:39 bottom. All right. I'm doing acrobatics because that's a dex for me. I would argue it's probably more of a dexterity thing than a strength thing, to be fair. Okay. I rolled a 14. Yeah. You're going to Take three bludgeoning damage as you slide down the 30 feet. Baby stuff. Yeah. But she makes it, she makes it look cool. She, like, sort of sees a little path, and she starts to slide down. And as she does it, she just cranks her elbow, like, really hard at one spot.
Starting point is 00:12:09 But, like, Red doesn't notice, and she's just like, hey. Yeah, but it looks really cool, but Red doesn't notice any of it. You're like, oh, man, I'm a hero, guys. And you turn around, Red's like, what? Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he doesn't see shit. What are you doing? Oh, you came down.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Good job. All right, fine. You're bleeding, Mari. Red, it's your turn. Red pops out using Mari's advantage. He's going to try to perceive where the stones are coming from. And I'm going to roll with advantage on what, perception? Yeah, you can roll perception.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Thank you. Natural 20. It's about 100 feet away from you to the northwest, approximately. I can tell where they're coming from roughly. They're right in the middle over there. There. I think it's up a little bit as well, based on that. Thanks, Maury. And then Red is going to fire at the one that's prone right now. So it won't be with advantage. And that's a three.
Starting point is 00:13:01 A three. We're just going to say that's going to miss. It's going to be like an 11 or something. Mm-hmm. And a two. Both miss. No. And brutal. The dice are not happy today. The Bloodhawk. Screvin is also going to fly by and do two attacks.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Excellent. Sorry, not two attacks, only one attack, but with advantage because he's prone, right? He is prone. That is a natural 20. Yay! Good Scriven. Good job, Scriven. Scriven's doing all the damage.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Literally, the only one doing fucking damage right now, which is a fucking burn. I mean, Dorn got a good pinch in. Just one. 15 damage from Scriven. Nicely done, Scrive. And as a bonus action, Red is going to cast Hunter's mark. and the stone giant lying on the ground. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And that's my turn. Crabdoran. Crabdoran is heavily damaged. His shell is cracking. You can see he's dripping little bits of water. Crab water is coming out. This giant in front of me is still prone, correct? That's right.
Starting point is 00:14:14 He's going to attack again with advantage. Excellent. That's going to be 24 to hit. Mm-hmm. Depending on this, what's the likelihood that I can get this giant off the ledge? You can try to move a grappled opponent. Okay. That's going to be 34 points of damage.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Nice. As he clips off toes and fingers. Yeah, the giant's not looking too hot. No? I mean, it depends how you like your giants, I guess. You like them all, like, bleeding and, like, lying down and covered in grease. It's probably great. Tussled.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I mean, the grease is. is nice. I'm into it. You can move a grappled creature by dragging it with you, but your speed is going to be halved. So you can move the giant little by little if you want. You would be able to move it 15 feet. Would you allow that? Yeah, you can swing him off the ledge, especially considering he's halfway there already. What do you guys think? Yeah. Toss him in the mud. I'm going to push them off the edge. Only other side to this would be that he drops into the pit of mud and it's healing. That would be really interesting to learn.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I think that if that's what happened, that would be neat. Climbs back up. It's such a jack thing to say. Yeah. Ooh. I think we should do it anyway. So yeah, Doren's going to, as he's got the leg and arm of this giant again, he's slowly snipping away bits, he grabs him and holds on to him and then drags this massive 10,000
Starting point is 00:15:42 pound stone giant just off the ledge a little bit more. And he's struggling against your grip. trying to hold on to this greasy, rocky bridge. And the sound of stone on stone, glimicated by the grease underneath. Yeah. The giant is swung out above open air. And drop that giant.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Do you? Oh, I let go. Yeah. The wheels are turning inside door. What is he, like, floating or something? There's some magic here? What's holding this guy up? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Doran's mind is scrambling. Why? Why? Oh, right. And opens his claws. I'm going to give him one more dexterity saving throw just to see if he can grasp onto the edge of this ledge. That's at eight. Nice.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Doren, the giant's hands are grabbing at the edge and he can't quite get a grasp. And then he just. drops away into blackness. Yes. And after a second, you hear a sucking splash. And he's healed and more powerful than ever before. You made me more powerful. Fuck this up so bad.
Starting point is 00:17:06 He stands up glowing and three times the size. Dorian kind of turns around and inexhaustedly. I mean, you can see the crabby goiness excreating through gross. So evocative. The shell, the shell cracks, you know. The tamale. But he's still alive as the crab. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Boy, is he. And then another boulder sails out of the darkness towards you. Oh, I love this idea that crab turns around, like, in success and, like, the soft music plays. It's like, da-da! Then a giant boulder just destroys them. Yeah. It's gonna. 21.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah, that hits me. You can do more than six damage? Probably. Fucking right it is. Awesome. Because then Dauron. Is Doran again? Poops back into Doran.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Perfect. So all of this extra damage is going to carry over to Doran. 33 bludgeoning damage. Oh, buddy. So that means 33 minus 6. This boulder lands on the crab's back as he's, you know, looking at you with these almost sad eyes. And as it lands, you hear a crunch and the crab falls onto its belly.
Starting point is 00:18:17 That last hit, because Marie. been concentrating for this long. It's, it actually, like, ricochets sort of back through her, almost like this, like, feeling through her spine. Like, as if, like, there's an electric shock. And in that moment, the concentration fully breaks. And there's just this moment where everything sort of tumbles inwards as if the crabs just, like, re-folding in, like, a piece of crushed origami. And then just lying there where he was is just Doran. Doran! You're back. Yeah. Great job, buddy. The bridge is clear. Doran. Now that you are, a dwarf and not a crab, you have 60 feet of dark vision and you can see more of the room than anyone
Starting point is 00:18:55 has seen so far. Oh, nice. Oh my God. I'm, I can talk again. This is incredible. And Doreen like lifts his arms up and makes crab motions, like claw motion. And the second boulder comes in. Did you see that? You see, oh my God. And then Doren looks up and he sees There is a spire in the middle of the room. So if you are to cross all the way to the end of the stone bridge, it looks like there is a series of platforms of ledges that move clockwise up, maybe about another 50 or so feet to reach this precipice in the center, atop which the Thane stands.
Starting point is 00:19:47 she is beautiful elegant and regal in stature athletic she holds another boulder ready to smash you it's clear she's been the one who's been launching these projectiles at you dorin and behind her a massive stalactite hangs covered in these inscriptions in giant text The giant thing It's up on the precipice up there I'm sure if you fire into the dark Up about And Doran's doing some quick math Up about 30, 40 feet
Starting point is 00:20:29 You'll probably hit him All right buddy And as a free action Doran also just peers over the edge As to where he just pushed The giant over the edge as the crap Absolutely I mean I can see down that far
Starting point is 00:20:43 Because of my dark vision or whatnot Can I? Is he floating? Is he live? shredder in the secret of the ooze. Oh, no way. Just his hand reaching out and it like slowly goes down. This mud has completely enveloped the stone giant's thrashing body. It does not look like he wants to be down there in the mud, but the mud has other plans.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Excellent. He's trying to escape. It looks like his immense strength is almost being counteracted by his immense weight. He's like desperately trying to claw his way back up to the air. Doran, as you are busily looking down, another stone giant appears just within the range of your dark vision atop the spire. And that's when Doran also yells. Oh, there's two of them.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Nice. 23 to hit. Yeah, that does hit. Oof, Doran. 29 bludgeoning damage. There's two of them throwing bulls. No, Doreen! That puts me down
Starting point is 00:21:47 Fuck Oh no Great Great Jack Oh Oh no Jack Jack
Starting point is 00:21:58 Jack throws a quiet thumbs up to the giant He's like get him Get him Jack It's your turn Doren shouted up Some giants over there
Starting point is 00:22:07 There's a bunch of boulders coming from that direction They're just outside At the edge of the darkness That I can see these boulders Enter and exit I might try and throw something with a wide net over in that general vicinity and see what I can catch. Yep. A.O.e
Starting point is 00:22:21 this. A point within range. I point to I get a 20 foot sphere. You got a pretty good description from Doran's math. Yeah. So Jack pulls up from somewhere deep inside him this well of psychic energy that he's been using to push and pull people around and he projects it into this bomb over in that direction, just putting it inside people's minds, ripping and tearing and trying to just tear their brains apart. Synaptic static explodes over there, and he's filled it with all of his alchemical casting to turn that psychic force into physical force as well. Can they make me intelligent saving throws? DC-17, please. Okay, we're going to start with the mundane, stone giant, sort of mundane. Yeah. That's a five. Perfect. And for the thing,
Starting point is 00:23:13 19. All right. So for the, the dumb one, he will take 27 psychic damage, seven force damage. And for the next minute, he rolls a D6 to subtract that number from all its attacks and ability checks and constitution saving throws and all that kind of jazz. 27 plus seven to both of them, one of its halved. And for the dumb one, his brain hurts. Marvelous. Jack remains hunkered down, prone on top of this pillar, waiting to see what happens next. Jack, you can tell that your magical effect has hit its mark by a terrifying growl of fierce confusion coming from the top of this spire. You're going to move or you staying put? No, I'm staying put prone on top of this pillar, sort of eye level with them, but hunkered down
Starting point is 00:24:00 low to try and not get hit by a boulder and knocked off. Very good, very good. Mari. Oh, yeah, she can hear Doren call out and then the sound of crushing rock and then silence. He was only able to speak for like half a turn. Yeah. Yeah. He just sort of is like, hey guys. And then just like a smushing sound. Like it's very meaty and then silence. And that is a very bad sign. Can I see him from here? I mean, you would have to like step out from behind your cover to see him. But I'm kind of hand waving that unless you are going to be trying to run your full movement right now. No, no. I just basically just need to be able to like perceive him. Yeah. You just have to
Starting point is 00:24:42 step out from behind the rock. Yeah. You're probably five feet south of there anyways because you're not on top of the pillar. Yeah, like basically like poke my head out and see. Yeah, you spy him. And I'm going to cast Healing Word. Nice. To at least give him something back.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Good, good. Thank you. And she starts to whisper and you can hear the sort of like layered chorus of voices, these other sort of women's voices layering underneath. And this light, this disc appears underneath Doran. and lifts him up and washes across him. And it's not a lot of help, but it gives you something.
Starting point is 00:25:18 You're no longer on the ground dead. He's on the ground, though. But not dead. Yes. It unfortunately is only 16 points, it points back. Okay. Better than nothing. Better than nothing.
Starting point is 00:25:29 On the plus side, you got your concentration free again. Yes. There you go. Thank you very much. Trawla-la-la. Dorn, like, stands up and dust himself off. He's like, whoa, I thought I was going to be destroyed after that boulder land on it.
Starting point is 00:25:43 The Doran came back. The ground begins to move and quake once more. And underfoot, pebbles start to roll down towards the center of the room. Jack, the pillar underneath you dissolves into dust and you are, you don't fall. Maybe you like snowboard to the ground on a, surf the gravel to a slab. Neat. Everyone in the room needs to make A Dexterity saving throw
Starting point is 00:26:13 Except for Scriven because he's in the air Nice Yes, I get to use my saving throws again Natural 20 Hey! Reg again I also got a natural 20 I'm just wasting a hole on deck saves today
Starting point is 00:26:25 What's going on over there? Same. Our combats are shit But our saves are wasted on you. I don't know. Jack? 12. Doran? I might re-roll.
Starting point is 00:26:33 No. What did you get? Tell us. It's, um... Don't tell me out plug me here. It says a 10. R-roll. Yeah, you got to stay up.
Starting point is 00:26:40 This could definitely do 16 damage to you. I'll use it indomitable. All right. And. Uh-huh. Even worse. Oh, no. Five.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Doran and Jack, you are unable to keep your feet. Jack's prone on top of this, too, right? Neither of us had her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the two of you begin to slide in towards the center of the room pulled by this shifting landscape. you each move 15 feet closer to the giants jack it puts you right on the edge of this mud and you see now down below you this sucking magical quicksand nope not good hungry for your little feats looks like you're both okay in terms of not falling in the juice just yet we also have water walk on so you do but you would also take falling damage no i think what he's saying and i've thought about this i don't think grease affects us.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Oh? Because we have water walk on. Oh. It's a slick surface thing and we, I googled both and Googled other people talking about it. And the consensus, at least I found, was that, yeah, we wouldn't be affected by it. But grease isn't water. It's the opposite of water. No, but water walk is also.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Magma and mud, snow, quicksand lava. All right. All right. I like that. That's fair. I hadn't thought about that. That's fucking great. I was saving it for, I wanted to do that thing.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I always do, which is shitty, where I like run across it. And Joe goes, you can't do that. And I go, I can. And then I reveal it because that gives me frisson and I go, oh, it went over. But this is as good as moment as any. Well done. This is Harlan's ASMR. So Jack and Doran slide on these pebbles, this moving ground.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And the terrain actually begins to slant down towards the thing. and you are pulled closer. Red, it's your turn. Red runs out from cover and heads directly over to Doran. He crouches down next to him, pulls out one of the greater healing potions, and dumps it down his gullet.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I love it when people force-feed each other potions. Come on, buddy. So romantic. Come on, buddy. And he pours it down your throat. Oh, no, no, go. Just tell him it's beer, it's fine. Doran, you take 13 hit points back.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I think it's one of my favorite things in D&D when someone's like, drink this. You're fucking dying. Put this in your mouth and swallow. And then Red is going to continue. He just puts another push on the ground. He pulls out two, puts one on the ground, pours one down. Dorn, take that too.
Starting point is 00:29:19 And then I'm going to continue running to basically beneath where the Thane is. And Red even continues kind of going up the side a little bit to get some distance. Cool. Meanwhile, Scriven flies over to the one next to the Thane using his full movement. And we'll attack. Nice. So, Red, you cross the bridge, you drive by, feed door and a potion and drop off more supplies, skitter all the way across the bridge and then start clockwise. So you start to ascend this spire.
