Starting point is 00:00:00 I understand, when did we get here at 10 a.m.? Yeah, but we just, we dilly, tell you. And it's two, is it two or three p.m. right now. It's about, it's 3 p.m. now. So we've been here for five hours. How have we done two hours of work in five hours? You can pray, but your gods won't save you. The worm's fire will not spare you. Doom and destruction, death and rebirth.
Starting point is 00:00:19 So who can return all the heroes of yours? Their jaws are all tizzled. Their asses are fast. They're shiny and golden. Oh, your Vigaton rises a hundred feet from the plateau. In the ice, encased in the ice, bodies. So many bodies. We have some adventurers from a previous fallen age. We have some local villages encased in the ice.
Starting point is 00:00:58 We have giant bones of magnificent creatures sticking out of the ice, jutting out with teeth marks. Deep in them as though they were lacerated and crunched by, oh, I don't know, a giant white dragon, known as old white dragon. death. The four of you sit on this plateau.
Starting point is 00:01:20 The four of you sit on this ledge. Above you a plateau with a village on it. And beyond there, perhaps, the enchantress, whom you are seeking. But for now, our brave friends must merely climb a hundred feet wall of ice. Over to you, kids. Well, some of us need to climb it.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Okay. Flippy Flappy. Do we, in our packs, do we have any ice spikes or anything like that? You, no, you have snow shoes, you have no ice spikes. I mean, they're sponsored by North Face. We've also been sent here. Were we not sent here knowing that we could not? I don't think you would have, like, you wouldn't have special shoes with ice spikes in them.
Starting point is 00:02:02 You would have, like, pickaxes and stuff and ropes and things. Could we use our pickaxes to, like, haul our way up? Or could we use bones as pickaxes, like, like, like to spike bones into the ice? Is it a sheer cliff? I think it would be difficult to climb, but it's not impossible. And it's 100 feet.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Yes. Okay. You see the icy water is sort of lapping just below you. Are there ledges and stuff that you can be here and there? Can we have a close look to see if there's like a worn path at all? Like there's any like look? Yeah, how are these villages coming and going? Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Can you roll a perception check or an investigation check? I'd love to investigate. With my friends, I got a tent. Hmm. A quick look. It's pretty cold. Okay, so you see, like, the corpses frozen to the wall of ice. It's hard to miss them, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:02:55 You see... You see... You see a bunch of bones that you think, as Polywallo points out, you could use to climb. And then above that, yeah, there is a... a couple of like steel rods that have been placed into the ice that if you had the right equipment which I think you might do if you know how to use it you might be able to look through and safely climb up.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Oh right. These are steel pegs that you could potentially use the rope to climb up with you. On belay. I've got an idea. Okay. All these bodies in the ice. Now I've done a bit of rock climbing in my time because I used to try and date rock climbers because I heard they were very horny.
Starting point is 00:03:45 And you can fly, so you're very impressive. If I could put the wire, I used my arms. I've got very, I mean, you felt my handshake, haven't you? It's very strong. Yeah. Very strong hand grip. Why don't we use all these dead bodies toes as toe holds in the ice? Oh, you had bones before.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Why have you personalized it? Well, because the body's all already in the ice. So that's very convenient. we just have to chip away the ice just above a dead body and we can stand on their knees or their faces or their fingers. All of these things are built in holds for us.
Starting point is 00:04:23 We could hold hands with the dead bodies as we climb up. Jeez. I was going to suggest using my harpoon. Well, the harpoon has a range of 60 feet so that could get you two-thirds, like almost three-fifths of the way up there. So do we see if there was a ledge
Starting point is 00:04:40 that we could say that I would... for that? Yeah, you can aim for that. Do you want to try that? I mean, what do people think? Do we want to cling onto the dead bodies and toes of the frozen fallen or try the harpoon? Why don't los do? Let's try your way first.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Okay. Okay, so, yeah, so... How do you want me to do it? I think you just roll a D20 and I think you can add dexterity, not strength, because this is a precision shot. What did you get? Um, two, two, two, be, baby, eight. All right, okay. So clankety clank, clank, clank, clank, scrape, scrape, scrape.
Starting point is 00:05:20 You are able to fire the harpoon maybe like 10 feet and it, or maybe 15 feet, but it falls down a bit. And so it's, there's, there's one other ledge above you that you can climb up to. Okay. So you've got 90 more feet to go. Okay, well, I can pull out the harpoon once we get up there and then, like, go again. Try again if you want, yeah. Yeah? Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:43 That's a 16 plus 6. Yeah, okay, 22. Okay, this gets you up to the main ledge that you were trying to get to. Okay, great. Now, you can climb up with this harpoon. Well, actually, no, I don't want to, sorry, I don't want to lead you. Once the harpoon is anchored into the ice on the main ledge, 60 feet up, what do you do? I think we're doing, like, one person climbing at a time.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yep. Up the rope. So I guess it's athletics check or whatever it is. And then once everyone runs up on the ledge, we pull up. Okay. Are you climbing or are you just going to flap up? I'll just fly. If we can't do it a fun way, I'll just use my wings.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And she's really stropped. Could I have some help? I'll touch some dead people's bodies if you kind of give me a little push on the butt because I don't know if you can tell, but I'm not very strong. Oh, all right. All right. Can I give him? You can give him advantage.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Advantage? Okay, so let's go. Charion Valerian, your athletics check first, please. Okay. This is not difficult, you just got a bit 10. Avantage? Because of the rope? Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:49 The rope help? It's a 14. 14, great. You are able to hop, skip, and jump all the way up the ice. That's how you climb. Yeah. Ernie Sweetwater, your turn, you have... I'm going to give you double advantage.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Double advantage? Yeah, roll eight D-20s. No, you'd roll three. I'll roll three. How about this? I'll roll four. Three, three. You get one dice because you're getting held by Pollywold.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And one dice because of the rope. And the other dice. And the original dice is for luck. Yeah. So four. So you get... Just joking. What's your highest one?
Starting point is 00:07:21 No, 18, actually. We've got it for the other ones. We're not good. You needed that extra dice. Hell yeah. You know what we could do since we're so strong. We could pull dinner up between the two of us. That's true.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Yeah, okay. So the three of you... Like a baby who doesn't want to leave the shops. The three of you are at the top of the main ledge. And dinner, you're at the base With, I guess, the handle of the harpoon. Pull dinner up. What are you doing, Gunner up?
Starting point is 00:07:49 Well, I was just, I don't want you to lose your harpoon. I'm going to, like, should I wiggle it out? No, no, no, no, the base of the harpoon. So that's the handle that they would fire it from. Oh! Yeah, not the anchor of the harpoon is in the ice, up on the ledge where they are. It's a harpoon gun. Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 00:08:05 I thought it was just a spear in my mind. I mean, it wasn't everyone's mind, but in Hing's mind, it's a gun. Always a gun. Dinner much about what are you doing? I just, well, I'll just clap. I thought they were pulling me up. Yeah, but dinner's doing nothing. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:08:19 I'm going to live. She's going to live. She said that. But are you tying the rope to you or anything? Are you holding onto the rope? Like, you've just said that you're lying down. I don't, we start pulling the rope up. It just comes undone.
Starting point is 00:08:35 They pull the rope up. And Jenna's still limp on the lid. I'll live it around. I think he's depressed. Oh, yeah. I'll live it around my ways and use one of my carabinas to just sort of like, attach, like, the handle to, like, the rope and then go live. Okay, and the three of you're going to try and hoist dinner up.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And sort of, I sort of help by, like, kind of touching the dead toes a little bit, you know. Is this the kind of situation that a rope would go the wrong way and, like, strangulate your nuts off? Or one of those situations. One of those situations. You know the one that everyone's kind of... All right, no, I'll make it a challenge. Okay. Yeah, you've got to do a dexterity check to make sure that, I guess, I think three people could carry up dinner pretty easily.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I think the issue here is if dinner tied the rope correctly. Now, if you fail, your nut pops right off. Okay, okay. It's easy, you've got to beat five. Five dexterity. Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Nice.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Smooth sailing. Nice, dude. Grow a new nut. Yeah. Now I've got two. You now find yourselves on this main ledge that is you just have a little short distance to go now, another 30 feet up to the. the top of the plateau. So you use the harpoon gun again.
Starting point is 00:09:46 You can fly up, you can climb. What would you like to do? Can we do a investigation checks? Sure. That's a 17 from me. What can we see in this expanse of wall. You can see. What you can tell is that inside,
Starting point is 00:10:01 uh, beyond the ice where you are, you can kind of hear some like echoes and noises. Like up over the edge. Maybe actually coming from inside the Coming from inside the iceberg Creaking Yeah
Starting point is 00:10:18 Is that regular I mean you used to live in the In a cold place didn't you? Is that a regular iceberg sort of sound? That depends So It is not You you recognise this is These are not
Starting point is 00:10:34 These are other worldly No there's like sometimes you'll hear like a clack clack clack Of the ice like crackling against each other But not this type of that's more like ghosty type of crap. I just remember I have a grappling hook. I'm going to do a thing which I can do as a, I've got primal awareness,
Starting point is 00:10:55 so I can see if there's any aberrations, Celestial's Dragons within a one mile radius. So I'm just going to see if that's... Handy? Any other time in this adventure? I mean, have we used it before? Doesn't matter. I'm proud of you for fun.
Starting point is 00:11:11 You know what have been even more? useful is the cloak that does teleporting. Now that we're up. There's this immediate issue of the sounds and I'm using So does it tell you exactly what it is or just tell you if something like that is nearby? Within a mile. But does it say
Starting point is 00:11:28 bo bo boop-p-dragon, fairy or does it just say bo-whoop-boop-woop? Yeah, it just whoops. Oh, you're getting some whoops. You're getting some very strong whoops. It's whooping hard. Yeah, okay. Your whoopee sense is tingling. All right. Well, he's watching the view
Starting point is 00:11:43 So I'm going to go I'm going to go caper the Manderbank I'm going to get to last thing And then I'll immediately look around for danger Is anything up there Yeah you're on the precipice of the plateau Yeah And you see in front of you
Starting point is 00:11:58 The village huts that you could see From back when you're on the ship They were on the horizon Is anyone Are there people still scattered Are they hiding from us People are hiding from you Push me over the edge
Starting point is 00:12:06 While I try to help my friends No they're not aggressive Oh go on Let's push him over the edge It'd be fun. Go on here. Go on. Go on.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Two villages approach you. I like low my center of gravity. One is a female druid. Oh, yeah, yeah. And the other is a village champion, a gladiator of sorts. They introduce themselves. Oh. Ah!
Starting point is 00:12:35 Hello. You shouldn't be here. here. Why? Because it's a very dangerous place. Why are you here? Because I honestly, I ask myself that question all the time. But this is where I was born.
Starting point is 00:12:53 This is my land. So, you know, what are you going to do? Are you yelling from the ledge below or you? Yeah. Well, they're yelling down, aren't they? Yeah, I'm already up there. Yeah, yeah. Charingville has been the only one who's clung belt.
Starting point is 00:13:06 You should, you should go back down. It's very dangerous up here. Well, we're very tired from climbing. My friends are just below. Why don't I bring them up? We can have a chat. Oh, no, no. You don't need to do that because if they come up,
Starting point is 00:13:22 they'll just have to go back down. Didn't you see all the bones from the bottom? It's very dangerous. You guys should go back to where you came from. What are I saying? Excuse me a second. They're saying we should go back down. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I know. We should come up, right? Yeah. Okay. Listen, I hate to pull rank on you, but I'm an agent of cow. The Council of Waterdeep, and I flashed my badge. We don't recognize cow. Yeah, this is a seal only.
Starting point is 00:13:57 We recognize the dominion of the old white death. The old white death. Look, you don't want to be around when he comes around, but he probably won't. See these bad boys? and I like puff out my skeletal wings. Whoa. I think this gives me a little agency in this situation. I'm not just waltzing in and nilly-willie here.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I have official dragon business. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop. Nilly-willy? Did you hear that? I heard it. That's the wrong way around. What, nilly-willy? Yeah, you fuck. Don't do things nilly-willy.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Oh, no. My dad always said. I have the three of you managed to climb up at this time. I mean, hopefully. Yeah. Okay, so you're grappling hooking. You're flying up. How are you getting up any sweetwater?
Starting point is 00:14:44 I'll follow the harpoon. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, he banned. The crazy thing about the teleport thing is you can all go through it. Oh, okay. Oh, everyone. It's dimension door. You still, you still fly up.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Okay. Wee. Yeah. Hey, what's it? What business is. What business is it of, what we do? No. What business is it of yours what we do here?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Um, well, you just shot up on my fucking island. So do we tell me about. You're... Teleport one willing creature, this FYI. Oh. Mr. Laurel. Okay. Only can use that.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I've used it. I've used it. I'm the one creature. Oh, that's the one creature. It's not one plus one. Me. I go to walk through it and I bonged my head on the ice behind it. Denied.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Does it look? I have a look. Does it look like a hard climb up this one? No, you could do it. It's like 30 feet. You could do it. You could bamf it. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I just don't. Okay, I bampfit. I'm leaving. Mr. Step. I can actually bam so much. I'm just trying not to, I get to the top, but I'm looking embarrassed. I'm like, I don't like to bamf anymore. I'm really, so good.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Why? It's so good. I just think it's bullshit, and I like walking, but fucking, you have wings and shit. Where's McCarthy, you dumb motherfuckers? You come to seek MacArthur. Yep. Well, who? What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Oh, MacArthur the Crimson. Never heard of her. Big Red Light. How do you know what's a her? We don't. Can we do a perception check whether she's heard of her? Insight. Insight.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Yes, insight. Oh, no, I've got minus one. Oh, well, holding the dice now. You're the one doing it, though, so. Yeah, I'll give you... Oh, 13. I'll give you nothing. You just lied as well, and we caught you out.
Starting point is 00:16:28 About what? What I lie about? You said, we know her, and then... I've never heard of her. I haven't. I heard of her. I assume... I'm sorry if I assume it's a her.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Should I assume it to him? Do, do, do, the doctor was a woman bullshit. Whatever. What? Shut up. You shut up. No, telekinetic shove. I do it.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I do that. You're going to try and push. Just shove telekinetically. And I'm close. Hang on, hang on. So you are, you're facing away from the ledge. So. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Bone carver is inland from you. Right. You're just going to push them over the edge of the ledge. You're just trying to push them over. No, just pushing them over. Just pushing them over. Just pushing. Just because they're in a sand.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Save from this? Yeah, I guess. Or is it... It's just a bonus action. Yeah, how does it do? You can try to tell you can only shove one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. But you do so the target must succeed in a strength saving through a DC 15. We move five feet.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Baha'all. Bung Kava the Druid is thrust onto her backside. Into the snow and ice. And it rides up into her back. There's a bit of snow go in her pants. Oh, it's all cold in my ass crows. Fuck. Well, you're a very rude boy.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Yeah, and you got wet in your pants. Where is the red lady we seek so dearly? I don't know what you're talking about. Did that intuition check to find anything? Yeah, so you know that she's lying. You know they're hiding something. And then the gladiator steps forward. And he says,
Starting point is 00:17:57 I am Walker Heart, and I challenge you to an honorable duel. You who shoved my friend here to the ground. Clearly the most fearsome champion here. Okay. We will now duel. No, thank you. Well, if you go, look. These are the rules of the island.
Starting point is 00:18:18 You've got a best my champion, Orca Hart here. Me. He works out all the time and he only eats protein. Yes. Okay, well, I'm like what is the rules of the island? I'm like, what is it, a sovereign citizen or whatever? I don't care.
Starting point is 00:18:31 So, no thanks. Explain to me more about what a sovereign citizen is. I think it's somebody who, like, who just, doesn't believe in the law so they just break it, isn't it? Well, if you don't believe in the law, you've got to get off my island because this is my law. All right, fine, yeah, we'll do a duel. Dool it, it will be! And then a kid, like a 14-year-old kid, comes out and goes,
Starting point is 00:18:51 Duel! And all the villages, all the villages, do, do, do, dual, dual, dual. So, do you have a second, et cetera? There are no magics allowed. Carr. But if you have a magic weapon or magic armor with no, obvious effects you can use it. Like a gun?
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, probably not a gun. It's not that kind of duel. It's a fight between you and a gladiator. Okay. But you can have a quick moment with your friends. Okay. If you want to talk to them. What do we, do you guys have any tips or tactics?
Starting point is 00:19:26 I think we're straight up cheat. Well, yeah. Obviously, yeah. Can you give someone your weapons? Yeah, you can. It didn't much about is proficient in the weapons and can use them, yeah. Can I please have a weapon?
Starting point is 00:19:42 Oh, but I probably can't, I'm going to hand over my... I can't spare any of my very magical weapon. No, I realize psychic blades, they're in my main. Yeah, they're fine. But I could give you my bowl of potions. Ooh. It's quite clearly a magical level. That would count as quite obviously magic.
Starting point is 00:19:57 How is it obviously magic? Oh, that's so magic. I'm so dumb. But is it, how do you know it's obviously magic? Because remember when she fired an arrow into that mermaid's mouth and a 10-foot cube of webbing. Would you like to use my harpoon? Can I use that?
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yeah, can I use the harpoon? Cool. And I'm going to, and I've got my shield of stuff. And I'll give you, just immediately have a barric inspiration, so you can roll a D8
Starting point is 00:20:25 and add that to any role you want. Can you double baric inspiration? Can we do it? I think they can only have one at a time. We can pretty much give him one every single time. Yeah. So,
Starting point is 00:20:35 you are now you are now in the tribal fight pit in the middle of this sort of amphitheatre there is a large pyre which is a blaze
Starting point is 00:20:51 there are seal carcasses burning on it the blubber is there is wood that's been brought out here to burn as well it's clearly a ceremonial fire that has been burning for a very long time and up on the ledge above the ceremonial finding pit there are two
Starting point is 00:21:04 torches both of them burning and Jeff Probst steps out and says, I'm sorry. I've got to go real quick and he leaves again. Only one will survive. Thank you. Thank you. A hundred or so villages have gathered to watch this jewel. Can I also just give you an enhancement?
Starting point is 00:21:28 I just real quick cast. As well as part of inspiration. Yeah, I'll give it all. This guy seems jacked. What is the... The best thing you want to fucking... You're not going to be doing spells. I'll give you dexterity.
Starting point is 00:21:42 If you've got to make any dexterity checks, you get advantage. Bon Carver steps forward, her ass still cold, and introduces the champion Orca Heart. People of Oyavigaton presenting in the white corner, the foreigner from beyond our shores. The harbinger of woe and ill-tide The man, pathetic and weak, Who dares to step upon our shores,
Starting point is 00:22:17 The divorced, weakly, pathetic loser they call Dinner Munchabout. Boo! The village is all boo, boo, boo! Boo! A bunch of kids have like internal organs from seals and fish they throw. at you.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Okay, can I dodge? Yeah. You can do a dexterity chest? Did you get advantage on those? 18 plus 1 on my normal and then I've got more than that as well. Shoo, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoo. You, uh, despite dozens of sea organs being thrown at you, you manage to doge them. Are they fresh organs?
Starting point is 00:22:54 Oh, yeah. No, some of them are running. They're just from the, they're just from the, the, um, barrels of sea organs they have. Oh, okay. And in the other white corner. Your champion of champions 216 pounds 6 foot 7 inches of pure
Starting point is 00:23:14 Man meat Stone Cold Steve Orcahot I eat men for breakfast Ah yeah Eat it for breakfast If I am to best you I will start with your nose and then work my way from the inner of your face
Starting point is 00:23:37 outwards in a spiral eating you until I've eaten everything. But it starts with the nose and then spirals out on the face. Well, I eat a breakfast for men, Nutra green, I'm man food. What did you say? Polly says out loud, that's hot. And sorry, sorry, said that out loud. What was that, what did you say?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Oh no, I said you men for breakfast. A, breakfast for men. Nutra green eye man food. And then the scream from the ad You know how neutral grain is so good when the milk just hits it Then it immediately goes slimy It's so slimy Immediately fully fucked
Starting point is 00:24:14 That's why I get it just a I would dip my spoon I would just get the spoon Put a couple of neuter grains in there Like that My son calls it neutral grain The orca hearts that's forward and said If you are to beat
Starting point is 00:24:30 If I beat you I beat you I eat your face, starting with your nose. If you beat me, we will allow you. I eat your ass. If you were to beat me, I will allow you into our most sacred building. What do I get to eat then? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:50 What's your favorite food? Oh, I like jelly beans. Yeah, we've got those, but only in seal flavor. Yeah. We got seal and we got wail. That's okay. I don't have any taste buds. How does that happen to you?
Starting point is 00:25:03 He's a texture queen. Yeah. I like the way they slide down my gullet. Time to fight! All right. Gladdadia attacks first. All right. He swings his spear.
Starting point is 00:25:14 And the spear jocks into you and does 8 plus 12 points of piercing damage. Let me help. Yes. You got this dinner. Okay. Launches a spear that just glances your side and tears open your flesh. You are bleeding from your side. It is your turn.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Okay. Okay. Bang, bang, bang. Shoot, shoot, shoot. I'm doing a little roll away from the... I'm going to go... Rolling away from the... Commander roll?
Starting point is 00:25:43 Yeah. Uh-huh. And then... From the ground. And you're doing... With the harpoon guy. Okay, do an attack. Roll.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Why, you got a little smile creeping up. I don't like it. Okay, just an attack. Boop. 13 plus... Six. Yeah. That hits.
Starting point is 00:25:58 How? Then 2D6 damage. Yeah. 2D6 plus 4 damage, I think. 11. 11 damage. 11. Okay. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Did anyone else want to do anything? Can I say to Ernie? This would be a great time to sneak around while everyone's distracted by the fact. But, but, old butt. Also, you can see dinner going like, look. Look at what's what I'm doing. There's a few things I might try and help with this. If you wanted to, I can maybe shout.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I might be able to help. Your friend is fighting the village champion and you're like, ah, we'll go. I'm doing pretty well. It's true because if dinner looks up and sees one of us isn't there, I feel like that's really good. That'll be really hurt. Fuck, but it's such a good chance to go sneak around. Like, literally everyone in the village is distracting.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Look, you sneak around, you are sneaky. But dinner will die if one of us isn't there. His helmet's too big and he's like waving and it's like kind of clunking it and he's like fixing it. You know what's funny. You know what's actually funny about this is that everyone in the fight is so focused on the fight, you wouldn't need to make much of a stealth check to get around there. You just need to make a stealth check so that dinner doesn't notice you'd left. It's a psychic damage you would do.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Yeah, yeah. It would be a flashback to dinner, like, at the dance recital as a six-year-old, looking across for his mummy and daddy and seeing two empty seats. Do you want to make a snow dark? Okay, so while you're preparing that, gladiator, it is your turn. Do you want to make a man cry? Orca heart, rears up. his shield to bash you
Starting point is 00:27:32 with it. Oh, cocked. And hits. Can I cast... Can I do a cutting words? Oh, so I have to roll again? No, you just roll a D8 and minus whatever you just got... I think why... Cunning words never work, but you're welcome to try it. Look.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Well, also, I just cheated and I saw it. It was cocked. It was not. Okay, well, the cutting words works. I saw the two on the dice before when you went cocked and you picked up again. You guys are fucking cocked. He misses then, fine. But the spear, his second attack, hits, and you take 10 points of damage.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Can I cast Healing Word while this is going on? No, no, no, you can't do a healing spell. You can do these, you can do subtle spells. Yeah, you could do, yeah, you would be cheating. Wait, with my, oh yeah, but even with my stuff. I mean, do they know this magic? This is my question is like, I mean, so there is some magic that is subtle.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I think cutting words, it's just kind of like he's hearing voices in his head, right? Well, if people are, that's why I'm thinking like healing words or even cutting words are like shouting out. Like, oh, yeah, you fucking dickhead, which is literally as a mockery, right? I think healing words, though, you would see, like, the actual, the actual gash begin to close up. So, I think that would be noticeable. So, you are, you were speared by the second spear. Have you taken your damage?
Starting point is 00:28:44 Yes, that's what I do. Um, so. How many? A bunch of you have left, Demi. I'm going to kill you. You better not. Polly Waddle, what are you doing? Stop flirting you, too.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I'm going to build a snow duck. And the snow duck is standing there with two thumbs up. And I'm going to put my bonnet on the snow duck's head. And you'll be white. So you'll be, if you cover your nose. No, and your feet. Yeah, you're just feathers in a bonnet. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I'm just going to check, though. Do you have a carrot for the beak? Because I'm going to, otherwise I'm going to know. Well, I'm going to have the bonnet down kind of low. So the features are kind of hidden. But two thumbs up. Okay, awesome. Oh, it's almost like, she's like, I can't watch my friend.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Oh, no. But good. Okay. Polly really believes in me. So I think this is going to be stealth versus... Passive perception. So what's... So can you do a stealth role, please?
Starting point is 00:29:45 And what's your passive perception? It's bad. Okay. He's got minus one. Okay. What? I'm very stealthy. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:52 No, I don't. I have plus two. Plus six. Fifteen. I got plus two. Passive perception. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Different.
Starting point is 00:29:58 You said I had minus one. You don't want to pass this anyway. Why? Because if you notice. Oh. But you part it. Let's find that curtain, guys. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Okay. So what do I have to do? Nothing. It's passive. Okay. And I rolled great. I got 15. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Yeah. So, Pollywell, you're allowed to sneak out now without doing a no thing. The villagers won't notice because they are focused in on the fight. Um, dinner, much about it's your turn again. Okay. And you got your jubiard thing? Correct. Firstly, we can refresh you literally every second fucking round.
Starting point is 00:30:39 First dinner, though, the first thing you notice is that your friend Polly Waddle is giving you the thumbs up. Thank you, Polly. I give them back. And yes, you are in locked in combat with Orca Hart. Okay. And I have just, yes. Yes, dear. Just, just so.
Starting point is 00:30:59 can picture the thing. If he's gotten a spike through him, there is rope between you and him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm doing like around my arm that has the shield on it to like kind of anchor. I'm going, zip, zip, jip, twice around, grabbing with the shield, pulling this can't towards me. You're also trying to, like, Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, get over here, the, uh, or half.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yes. You're going to push him away at the same time with the telekinetics? What, you both just guessing, like, what I'm about? I want to know. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Let her call. Sorry. Sorry, dinner.
Starting point is 00:31:34 That was literally, fuck. Sorry. Sorry. Yes, that is what I was going to do. That's a really good idea. God, fucking damn it. Demi, two white men told you it was a good idea. Trust us.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah, trust us. We support you. Okay, so the first thing you do is a strength check. Yeah, okay. Which, which, hold on, where's my stink? What did you roll? I got a four. Okay, now you can roll your body inspiration if you want.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Add it. Yay! You got a 4 plus 6 is 10. Nice. I think you're able to yank him forward to me. He's off balance now, but you don't do any damage with this. But I'm shoving at the same time. But I think, is that a bonus action?
Starting point is 00:32:14 Yes. So then he has to make a dexterity. Or what? Or fall over? Yeah, but we'll take damage. I want to take it from him, though. So, like, I've put them off balance with the yanking. And then I want to shove them away from their own weapon.
Starting point is 00:32:28 To knock me prone? Just to get the weapon. Yeah. So now you need to make a dexterity saving throw, I believe. But you have disadvantage. Fuck. Because you're off balance. Sucks. Oh, 10.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I think that fails. Yeah, that sucks. So you... Orca Hart falls flat on his back. Any ties of embarrassment? Yes. Can I give another Bartic inspiration? Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Oh, that's a bonus action. Yep, that makes sense. Yep. As a bonus action. You got this, another D8 for you, and I also, can I cast a vicious mockery as a sledge? Uh, I'll allow it. Yeah. It does psychic, it's just, it's just, it's just verbal and it does psychic damage.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Yeah, I think only you and they would know. Yeah, exactly. The only other just wouldn't know to know your cheating. Oh, champion falls on the ground. I go, Oka Heart has shit, legs. I get a little bit of a little chant going. So now he has disadvantaged on his next attack. Wisdom 15.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Oh, no. He doesn't seem too smart Yeah 1D6 And That really hurts So that's two Psychic damage
Starting point is 00:33:37 But yeah Disadvantage on your next attack roll Oh Okay Do I throw a spear from the ground Uh No you've got to reclaim your spear Oh
Starting point is 00:33:44 Oh fuck I'm gonna pick up my spear Okay so I lose my turn Because I get up and get my spear Yeah you can do You use one turn to reclaim your weapon I believe And then you can have a bonus action If you've got any bonus action
Starting point is 00:33:54 I don't have any fucking bonus actions This guy sucks Shitty fucking You have two What was it like Triedens Or were they spears? I've got spears.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Right, but I've got one of them. You got one of my spears. Well, I guess he's going to spend his turn getting up and dashing over towards dinner to try and get his spear back. Yeah, great. Okay. Anyone else? Oh, Polly Waddle, what are you doing now? I'm going to fly silently over.
Starting point is 00:34:19 What do you think is some kind of owl? You're a duck. All right. Okay, it's flat, flat, flat, right. She can't help. crazy rogue rogue character built.
Starting point is 00:34:34 It's so loud. You cannot fly sound like that. You think ducks quack while they fly? Absolutely. Every time the wings go down they pump out a quang. Are you wanting to do
Starting point is 00:34:44 like a reconnaissance sort of flight over the village? Well I was going to fly to the village and I wanted to go sneak around in Bone Carver's house because she felt like she knew something.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Oh, Bone Carver's house has a sign outside that says Bone Carver's Covatoreum. Shee Bone Carver. So, so, Okay, so as you're flying, the first thing you see is there's like 20, 25 structures in this village. You're modern.
Starting point is 00:35:11 There's all these small, like, snow block shelters, like similar to like igloos or double-walled yurts and stuff. There is a giant store room, which you would imagine is like a big, a giant almost bunker where they would store food. There's also, yeah, some ornate houses where the heads would live, like the chieftain or the Gle or Oka Hart or Bone Carver. And the largest structure in the village is the meeting hall, which is heavily decorated with whalebone and the skulls of fish and animals. And yeah, so you're making your way to Bone Carver's house. Yeah, yeah. Now it's back to your turn, did a munch about it. He's rushing towards you.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Well, I'm going to dodge, silly You're just going to step out of the way? I use your momentum against you. Can I use my bonus action again? Can I dodge out of the way and then shove? You're going to use your Aikido skill? Yeah. I'm going to use gun cutter, but without the guns.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Okay. Oh, Jim Carter? Yeah. So, I think that's a reaction, right? Yeah, it'll oppose dexterity, I guess. And you're going to use your pushing? Well, let's just see if you get out of the way first. So opposed dexterity is the first check.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Oh, wait. What do I have to? Hell yeah. So wait, how do I do? Dexterity So I'm trying to dex you and you're trying to dex me Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:36:36 It's a 14 plus dex Okay And what did you get? Six You have advantage Because I gave you the dexterity So that's Roll it again
Starting point is 00:36:46 Oh yeah Roll it again Eight Plus Nine And then can I do this So you need You need
Starting point is 00:36:54 You need You need You need I need five You need a five on that dice. No, no, no. You need a five on their dice. No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:37:03 You need a seven because you got a 14. So plus two is 16. You need a seven or eight. Seven or eight. This would be so fucking cool. Here we go. He got on his tears in his eyes because everyone's making fun of him. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Wait a second. Can I use cutting words on your role? It's been a whole round. I mean, that is true. Yeah, you actually can. You think he's about to do it. And I say, oh, he's got up. It would be ashamed if he fell.
Starting point is 00:37:28 down again. Six. That's even better for you. Yeah, because it's minus six. Be ashamed of he fell on his ass again. So you see dinner much about go to dodge you. And you try and readjust yourself to like pummel him into the ground.
Starting point is 00:37:47 But in doing so, you lose your footing. And I slip on some fish guts. Yeah, you slip on some fish guts and you go, like face planting into the snow. And you plow all the way up to dinner's, feet. And then I... A step on the back of his neck.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Oh no. Oh, no. Don't American history. X me. Yeah. Okay, so now your attack is stomp on neck. Stump on the back of his neck.
Starting point is 00:38:07 So you're prone, you have an advantage on this attack. I'm prone. Advantage. Yeah. So you could, it's a strength check. Two D20s. Two D20s. Two de-blood.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Groot. Groot two, roll two. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Cool. Ah! You rolled a five and a four. Yeah, and it's a minus one. Is it's still holding a harpoon.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Are you still holding a harpoon? And his smear? Yes. Yeah, cool. Dude a bunch about you got to stomp on his neck, but... It's sweaty. I'm not going to land wrong, and I'm going to twist my head. You realize that snowshoes aren't built for stomping.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And the back of the, the back of the tennis racket, the handle of the tennis racket, snow gets caught in the snow and you go, whoa! It goes down to his neck and the bottom of the snow shoe comes up and waxes you in the knife. Both of you are now wriggling around on the ground. And the chieftain standing on this beautiful ornate stage looking over the fight just goes, oh. And we're sure he's our best one. He was our best one.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Okay. And you look up and you're like, why is she thumbs-uping this? Does that give you hope? At least Polly still believes. Does she like this is happening to me? So while they're running around on the ground, Charing Valerian, do you have anything you want to do? I. I'll give you an opportunity to do something, say something, move something.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I am. I'm sorry. I don't know. Would Tash's hideous laughter on... I think that would be too obvious. This is magic. Yeah. Hey, dinner.
Starting point is 00:39:40 You're doing a great job. Get up. Get back up and stab him with two of your stabbing implements. Okay. Is that your way of giving Bartik inspiration? Oh yeah. You have biting inspiration as well. But mine's only plus six.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Yeah, yeah. Can I do it? Well, are you... You can't tuggle it up. There's none left. No. I don't have any left. I'm going to do it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:01 So I'm going to give it to it. So you get to D6 instead of a D8. Is that true? Ernie Sweetwater, what do you want to do in this? It's another vicious mockery for Ernie Sweetwater. And how bad does this guy look? Is he looking alright? He looks fine.
Starting point is 00:40:18 He looks fine. Could I do, okay, I'm going to go out on a little bit of a limb. There's a spell I have called phantasmal force it's not actually the thing is the whole point of this spell is that it doesn't create it's like an illusion where everyone can see it
Starting point is 00:40:34 it's only in the mind of the person it's a special sort of thing I'm happy if you got a reason that's no no no I think I'll allow you to do that how many spells lots do you have left though for that I got one more second level spell it's because we kept getting so many
Starting point is 00:40:46 freaking lovely sleeps yeah okay so you can do phantasmal force on on Orca Heart if you want Orca Heart yeah great so what's the thing Is it the thing he fears most? Is that what a...
Starting point is 00:40:56 No, that's the more hectic one. And... Fuck, maybe I should just do that. Do we want to do that? Just to get this going? Yeah, why not? Is this a fight to the death? Yeah, he's going to eat your face.
Starting point is 00:41:07 All right, yeah, cool. I'm going to use a move. Unless you can live without face. Or your ass. Yeah. I'm just, I wanted to let... Hands or tails. I wanted to let dinner have a go, but I'm like, okay,
Starting point is 00:41:17 they're both on the ground. Well, dinner won't... Dinner won't know that you've done this. So you could keep this a secret. Oh, yeah, exactly. This is actually the perfect thing. I'm like, okay, just a little help, and I keep justifying my head. I'm like, it's fine, it's mostly dinner.
Starting point is 00:41:27 And I summon, it's mostly dinner. Dinner's doing great. And I summoned my, like, fourth level, like, most powerful spell. And cast Phantasmal Killer, which is a Wisdom 15 saving from. Oh, no. Is he wise? He's not very wise, is he your guy? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I don't think so. Oh, you're also two. So if you want to just think of whatever this character is, and this isn't up to me to make, whatever this character is, like, worst, absolute, worst nightmare. It's an orca, an orca eating his heart? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so he envisions a killer orca with sharp fangs and, you know, the killers of the sea,
Starting point is 00:42:05 rising up out of the ocean, the icy flow. And the sunset, you know, just behind. And jumping 100 feet into the air onto the icy plateau where it wriggles around and is making a bee line to him. Does he become front or does he take damage? He, not only does he become frightened, but he takes four D10 damage a turn that he doesn't get out of it. So he's frightened and he wants to get away from this thing badly. I have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Oh, that's a lot of damage.
Starting point is 00:42:36 No, the frightened would be a separate thing. That's so much damage, dude. Yes. That's... Well, this is my one get out of jail free. That's like 29 damage. 9, 10. How much else do you have?
Starting point is 00:42:48 He has a lot of health. 10, 18. 29's a big chunk though It's 29 Okay great Good maths What but that was a zero Yeah it's a 10
Starting point is 00:42:57 Oh that's stupid Wow okay She's not wrong Yeah Okay Wow so you become terrified Of this orchard eating Coming for your heart
Starting point is 00:43:10 You also feel The burn of psychic damage In your mind Like you could be going crazy It sucks You still are Seeming pretty healthy But you have you've taken a few
Starting point is 00:43:20 jabs and hits. What is the position of the person? Still prong on the ground, I think. True, but is it my turn? It's your turn now. It's your turn, yeah. So if I'm frightened, am I frightened of the thing in my mind or am I frightened of dinner? You're frightened of the thing in your mind.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Because if you're frightened of a thing in your mind, you've got to run away, but where do I run away to, you know? You can run into the crowd, you can run into the fire. You could jump off the ledge. You could just do anything that you... I think hiding behind the fire would work because you would think the orker would not go through the fire. Okay, so I'm going to get up and I'm going to run to the other side of the fire away from dinner much about. Wait, so what are you actually afraid of in your mind?
Starting point is 00:43:56 An orca that's jumped out of the ocean. Yeah, that's going to land on me at any second. So he runs and is hiding close to the fire. Everyone in the village, though, sees that Orca Heart is fleeing from this intimidating creature and loses a lot of respect for Orca Heart in the process. Okay, so this is what happens. I have disadvantaged on ability checks and attack roles, while the source of fear is within line of sight
Starting point is 00:44:19 and I can't willingly move closer to the source of the fear. So I think I'm actually not afraid of dinner. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Not afraid of dinner. But everyone is saying, he's losing a lot of respect for you because they can't see the orca.
Starting point is 00:44:29 You guys don't know. I think you get to at the end of every turn try and get out of this. Is it a wisdom saving? Let me have a check, but yeah, it's another wisdom 15. Okay, while we do that, Polly Waddle, you've made your way
Starting point is 00:44:40 into bone carver's house. And it's very obvious, I assume, that they're into bone carver. So that's the house that I walk into. Yeah, the sign at the front said Shea Bowen Carls. Oh, yeah, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:52 So I'm sneaking around. I'm rifling through everything. I'm looking for clues or any mentions of MacArthur Crimson. Can you do a perception check, please? Oh, seven. Gosh, you see a lot of documents that are laid out on bone carver's table, but that's all I'll tell you so far. Boring, boring, boring. Do you know much about it, it's your turn.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Okay, and I am first of all going to turn to the crowd and gesture to Ogerhardt and say, Be this your hero. I'm hiding behind, cousin of the sun, the fire. Is it? He sort of loses confidence. But he's trying to demoralize Ocarat. Yeah. Oh, intimidation?
Starting point is 00:45:44 Yeah, we can do intimidation. or are you trying to intimidate Orcahart or are you trying to get the crowd on your side? I'm trying to get the crowd on my side because I think it's going to be, that's going to make it a lot worse for him. And I think this is a performance check. Oh, yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Performance is charisma. Oh, cool. Yeah. Yeah, so just give me a roll, see how you go. Yep, all right. Ooh, Nets are 19. Oh, dang, okay. So you're like cutting a fucking WWE promo, you know?
Starting point is 00:46:11 You're saying, is this your champion? Be this your champion! With his Is his penis, big or small? I'm asking a very small child. Would you reckon his penis is big or small? She's probably big. With his way too big of penis
Starting point is 00:46:25 to be of any use. Be this, your hero. Yeah, and you see some women with the crowd, be like, Mm-hmm. Okay, the crowd are starting to turn on orca hearts. You're like,
Starting point is 00:46:38 you're wearing the hearts and minds of the people. Some of the kids... One woo from a lady. Woo! Woo! I bet his dick is. real small. Just pretty normal delittle.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I will remind you that while you are winning the hearts and minds of the people, the challenge isn't really the winning of hearts and minds. The challenge is a very literal fight to the deck of you're in. I know, but I'm really hoping that it's going to demoralize him and it's going to like, I should get like advantage or something because of that. So, I'm, is it all cards? Is that my whole turn? Yeah, well, that's a turn.
Starting point is 00:47:07 I feel like dinner would be very motivated by external validation. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe they get some. We'll see what happens. I'm looking on me like focusing so hard
Starting point is 00:47:18 I'm giving me this orca I'm like you gotta help me here you did it you gotta fucking do something and he's brain he's like pulsing out of his he's like holding like a 200 kilogram squat and he's like
Starting point is 00:47:27 good work and I thumbs up next to the snowman yeah um dude's like you guys want to see me do a magic trick is that a deck of cards whose turn is it
Starting point is 00:47:37 it is all uh you you were afraid and frightened right so do I get to try and conquer my fear yeah yeah uh Disadvantage? No, no, I guess he gets advantage because he's so brave. In which case, yes.
Starting point is 00:47:51 So I conquer my fear, but do I still take the psychic damage? No, no. I mean, if you beat the wisdom, yeah, you don't take the... I'm not afraid anymore. I go, er. And he puts his hand... He puts his hand into the fire, and he doesn't flinch. Because he's like, I fear not...
Starting point is 00:48:08 You should take some damage for that. I'll take some damage. You take one D4 damage for that. That's crazy, dude. Make it a D6. What do I even care? Okay, you take two damage. I fear not the cousin of the sun.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I will crush you, you puny guy. And I'm going to go over and I'm going to try and grapple him in my hands. Okay. Try and, uh, trying to grapple you. Okay. Doolip. Uh, where I think I hit. Yeah, your strength.
Starting point is 00:48:40 You got quite a bit of strength. Yeah, I've got quite a bit of strength. Yeah, okay. So. No, you can on your own. Your turn, you can try and break free of the grappled condition. All right, so you're keeping your Bartic inspiration going, I imagine. Ernie Sweetwater, you got any of the vicious mockery.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Okay. Wisdom 15. Oh. Fail. Fail. So he gets the disadvantage on this next threat. No, minus two damage and the disadvantage. Okay, so you take another two.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Oh, yeah, you've got the two damage. Disavage on my next attack. Okay. Polywattle. You're still in Bone Carver's Hut. So I looked at documents. I couldn't find anything. Yeah, you could do another.
Starting point is 00:49:22 You could use this term to another perception. Let me have another squeeze. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to keep sniffing around here. Oh, yeah. 18. 18. Okay, in amongst the documents, you find a map that says,
Starting point is 00:49:36 in the main hall that you can clearly see marked. In the main hall of the village, are tunnels that go deep into the iceberg. and there's a little marking of a dragon in there. So it's like you would think that this is where the dragon's lair it is beneath the iceberg through that main town hall that you need to get into. Great. And I think that's, that's, oh, you can, actually you can stick around there.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I think I'll head back because I'll be worried that my snowman is going to melt. If you stick around, if you want to stick around. Okay. You can, I'll let you look for treasure in the next turn if you want. But it will be against whether or not the snow duck is defeated. Okay, so let's go back to Dinah Munch about your turn. I'm just going to shoot him. So you are, I grappled you, so you've got to make your strength check to see if you can get out of my grappled, my dude.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Two, you do not, you are still grappled. Does that mean disadvantage or does that mean kind of attack? Grappled means, let me tell you what it means. It means, yeah, you've got to make a strength or athletics or acrobatics check. Otherwise? Or otherwise you're incapacitated. Oh, okay. Which I've got to look up separately.
Starting point is 00:50:48 And I've got to go back down to eye. Basically, you got... So sick of having this fucking fire. I don't want to have it anymore. You got disadvantage on your attack rolls. You can get me. I'm saying. Okay, do it.
Starting point is 00:51:00 But you got disadvantaged guy. I'm sorry. But I do have this. Shoot that. Full. Yeah. And he's got fish breath, dude. He's got the baddest fish breath.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Yeah. Well, guess what? I don't have taste. buds, which is kind of similar to smell birds. So... Yeah, bird? Yeah. 12 is your lowest, plus...
Starting point is 00:51:21 Plus... Plus four. Plus... That still hits. Yeah, 16 still hits. So... And I've got... What?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Yeah, yeah. At point-blank range, you were able to fire your harpoon directly into his belly. Oh, belly. Yeah. Or wherever you want to... Where do you want to fire it into? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Just through the bottom of his chin like this to keep his mouth open. And I'm going to go... Oh, God. And smell the fish. because I don't give a fuck. 2D6 plus 4. Mm-hmm. Damage.
Starting point is 00:51:48 And so saving. Okay. So at this point, you can no longer talk because a harpoon has gone through the base of your mouth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:57 And my tongue, my tongue is harping up to the top of my... Yeah, chank on it. But you can still breathe and still fight, but there is a harpoon through. Now, this means the harpoon's stuck in there.
Starting point is 00:52:07 So if you remove it, he might take more damage, but he will be able to talk and will be able to, you know, He won't be as incapacitated. That's okay, I've got a spear. Okay, it's your turn.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Okay, I'm going to try and stab him with my spears. You've only got one. Oh, yeah, that's true. Can you, if you're grappling someone, can you use another weapon? Yeah, it's one hand. Yeah, with one hand, one hand, and that's a miss. The sound of one hand grappling? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:29 And the other one hits. You have a disadvantage on that because of the... Oh, fuck. Fuck, miss. So you flail around with your spear on the side, and even though you are, again, point blank with this person, you still aren't able to skewer them. Could you viciously mockery to me?
Starting point is 00:52:48 Yeah, this is good. What was the vicious mockery? Oh, the last time? What was the situation? I think it's when you were... He was hugging him, he was grappled him. Yeah. Hugging him?
Starting point is 00:52:58 Oh, what does he like him now? This is confusing. This bloke doesn't know whether he wants to kill him or marry him. Get him. Get him, honey? Yes. And the people start to me, they're like, this guy's pretty good. How about purple, how about purple,
Starting point is 00:53:10 So I'm going to pick this boop up. Okay, meanwhile, can you hold onto that dice? Polywaddle, can you roll an investigation check? Oh, yes. Oh, I love sneaking around. Oh, yes, 16 plus five. Oh, well, look, yeah, okay, so I was going to say, if you got over 20, you can have a dip in the bag.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Oh, don't mind if I do. Okay, so cut that and find a thing in there. Dib in the bag. Dip in the bag. Dip in the bag. And you have found a dragon scale male armor. Oh, my goodness. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Well, okay, you have some magical armor. Whoa. Which may not be useful to you, given that you're a rogue, but you may be able to sell it or give it to someone else. Nice. Oh, wow, that's fancy. It is armor made of dragon scales. That's very cool.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Oh, yeah. You know who that would look cool on. Like that was dragon wings. Cool, all right. Meanwhile, back at the fight. Yeah. Now, Dina, I want you to make. make a perception check.
Starting point is 00:54:12 This is because while this is happening, the snow duck has been sort of like shaken by the crowd yelling and stuff. So I just want you to see. There's only one thumb up now. Yeah. The other thumb has disappeared. That's 21. Oh yeah. You notice
Starting point is 00:54:29 entirely that your friend Polly Waddle has left and has been replaced by a snow duck that she made, I guess. And also you feel entirely betrayed because that doesn't that was giving you thumbs up. That wasn't Polly Waddle.
Starting point is 00:54:43 That was a snow duck. And then dinner to try and, because he's realizing what the situation really is, just kind of turns his head upside down. So their thumbs down, and then he goes, yeah, that makes sense. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:54:59 I think Charyon probably sees us like, dinner, focus. We're still here. Ernie and I are here. You're doing well. You're doing great. You got one more stabby thing. I thought I was going to be a pretty good.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Good job. You're doing a great job. Okay. You are our champion. Yeah. You're a champion. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Do you know... You can do a strength check now to see if you can get out of the grapple. Okay. You have... Uh, 15. 15 gets out of the grapple. Yeah, that gets out. Cool.
Starting point is 00:55:33 You are able to wriggle out of the grapple. And I think you get a full turn now. Pit. Oh, pit. Um, all right. What do you want to do? Stab him through the cheek now. It's still in my head.
Starting point is 00:55:47 So you've got to take it out. You've got to pull it out. Yeah, I've got a spear. I've got a spear. Yeah, I'm just going to be a big X. Oh my gosh. Through the other side. Through the eye of the cheeks or the ears.
Starting point is 00:55:55 You're going to crucify his brain? Uh-huh. Okay, can you roll it on attack, please? Yeah. Do you have any bonuses? You got a D4, maybe, do you're D6? D6. You got the inspiration if you need it.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Attack roll. Yeah, dexterity or a... Oh. Uh. It's by yourself. Do, boo, boo, glue, glue. Creamy, grue. Wait, how old do I have to be?
Starting point is 00:56:16 Dexterity. Well, his armor class is 16. 11. You need a five. Stab! Stab! The brain! Through the cheek or through the temple,
Starting point is 00:56:32 whichever one you'll allow me to do, and then I kick him in the X. Right in the head. And if you want me, I've got good acrobatics. I'll do a roll if you want. What are you going to say, as you're going to say, as you just stomp him in the face. You're ugly.
Starting point is 00:56:49 And I'm sick. Sharon, it's like, hey, no, poor form. And the crowd sort of starts turning on me. And I was like, in spirit, idiot. Yeah. You jam a spear through his cheek. And combined with the harpoon you already put through his jaw, this gladiator, Orcahart, suddenly begins to struggle to breathe
Starting point is 00:57:09 and begins to choke on his own blood as it is filling up his throat. Yeah. And I lean down and I'm like, now it's very important. that until you get medical attention, you don't pull those out because you will bleed out. You know what I understand that? I learnt that in Scouts. The chieftain steps forward and says, You there, stranger from a faraway place, you have beaten our champion, Orca Hart. I will now give you the choice of whether we will allow him to be taken to our infirmary and healed
Starting point is 00:57:40 or whether he will bleed out here like the coward he is and die. in the snow. Shut up you. You have disgraced us. Losing to this divorced loser. Dill much about what is your judgment? Well, usually, you know, I would have a friend to be my moral compass for this type of thing, but... She's not here at the moment, so, yeah, who cares?
Starting point is 00:58:16 The crowd begins to chat. Death, death, death, death, death. And then I just push him into the pyre. Okay, he begins to burn. Unfortunately, so does Charing Valerian's harpoon that you didn't take out. Oh. Is it a metal spike? Yeah, but there's rope and stuff in there that's all I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Where will we find rope? I've got a length of rope. I'll just give you a new rope. This guy's burning alive. He's like, my harpoon. Was he like a bad guy though? No, he was a lovely guy just defending his village. He runs a local charity.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Yeah. He was the best they have. Yeah. They're called the Little Orca Hearts. And it's all Polly Waddles for me. Let us tear down this statue of this once brave man who saved us many times from that awful invaders before. We will curse his name now that he is dead.
Starting point is 00:59:13 In fact, ran up his family. They will also be put in the pyre. As is our custom, kill them all. And our friend Dinner Munchabout has ingratiated himself to this village of ice hunters. Having defeated their beloved champion, maybe he will become their new champion. But at what cost?
Starting point is 00:59:34 For although his friends Charion Valerian and Ernie's people are there to back him the whole time, Pollywana was absent. I'm sure she was doing something very important. She wouldn't have left otherwise. Will our heroes survive this? Find out the next episode of Dragon Friends.
