Pickaxe.
It's really not important to me to have a lot of things to show off.
Fancy cars, you know, a giant home.
Those things are just not part of who I am.
But I've been coached and I've learned through my advisor that it's not one size fits all.
Everyone has their own preferences.
Everything that I do with Edward Jones
is tailored to who I am.

["Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in E minor, Op. 16, No. 2 in C major"]
Welcome back to part two, everybody. We are in an intense part infiltration, maybe turned into a bit of a combat scenario now,
as well as our party are attempting to rescue Sir Eldrach, Ignis and Lady Verithera from
the Reclaimers.
They've made their way to the heart of Daranax, their fortress on this great lake,
which seems to be the source of the Ash Hills corruption
and blight, thanks to a large pile of crown steel.
And that is where we begin.
In fact, we just had one of the Reclaimers chosen.
One of these leader-like characters, has just stepped out of the temple
and has sort of taken in the scene with disdain,
looking around.
She, I believe I literally just had her arrive,
so it would be her turn.
She is going to just sort of look vaguely
in Ophelia's direction and see the scuffle going on over there.
And she would just say, you, a guardsman, come with me.
And she will begin making her way in that direction.
Five, 10, 15, 20, 25.
She will make her way over there.
This guardsman will have to follow on his turn.
That is gonna be her turn.
We then jump to, oh god, there's so many initiatives.
In fact, it is the captain next to her turn.
And he will, bum, bum, bum, bum.
Sorry, everybody, I have a lot of things.
There's many boys here.
I've got a lot of boys.
He's gonna do five, 10, 15, 20, 25.
He would also notice that Ser Eldrak is sort of waking up
and is sort of a bit concerned with that.
But then he will use his Defiant Charge ability
to take the dash action as a bonus action.
Five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
Taking his way over.
Very close.
And then he will call up to the figure,
oh no, he can't take two bonus actions this turn.
So that is gonna be,
interesting.
So they would appear from there.
He will use, I will spend a fate point
Yeah. He will use, I will spend a fate point,
to use his reinforcement ability.
And he will summon a big,
a one-point effector.
Oh, I left my spare minis on the other side.
I have to go and fetch them.
I'll be back shortly.
If they're not on the table, they don't exist, Mark.
No, that's what it was.
Same dice rolls.
Yeah.
What did he roll on D6, did you see?
He rolled five.
Fuck's sake.
So is he bringing in five boys or is it halved?
He's bringing in five boys.
Two and a half boys.
Two and a half men.
No, he's bringing in five.
Oh, he's got a fistful.
He's got a fistful of stooges.
Fistful of men.
Wish that were me.
Peering at the edge of the battle map, three more guards.
Will appear.
But it's his once use ability.
That is the captain's turn.
We then go down two.
God, there's so many initiatives here.
He was at nine.
Oh, the two sevens.
Xanthias.
Me.
It's your turn, followed by Rowan.
Vandabar.
I will crest from the water and say,
I am Xanthi, no I don't.
I am gonna cast, I'm gonna use that spell,
that spell scroll,
because I was thinking of using it on Rowan,
but Rowan is in a spot of trouble, RN,
and also far away from me.
So you cast Fly upon yourself.
I am casting Fly uponst my bonds.
Alrighty, you are about 25 feet away
from the edge of the map, so where would you like to go?
You have 60 feet of Fly movement.
So that is a concentration spell, yes?
Yes. Great.
That's not gonna fuck me up in the future.
So, and that's a full action to do as well.
I'm trying to think, like, what can I do
with a bony action?
Get yourself some runes.
I could get my, well, that's a sorcery thing to do that.
I'm thinking I might just...
Zip, zip.
Zip, zip.
Where would you like to go?
That archer's gonna see me though, right?
Everybody is, you've just flown up like you.
I haven't flown.
But no, you've risen out of the water
and you've cast a spell. I can't fly,
that's it so far.
Yeah. Could I like?
It's like, you've gotta pull,
keep in mind that you are like in the water
pulling a scroll out. Aglibleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleblebleble Blah, blah, blah, blah. I want to fly up to the, if I can get basically next to this Ballista guy.
Yeah.
Do you want to be next to him
or do you want to be up in the air above it?
I want to be like right in his face.
Cause he's got like a ranged weapon,
I can't remember what it was.
No, he doesn't.
He's got like a short sword,
but he does have a Ballista there.
Yeah.
That's not.
I want to be next to this dude.
And I can't really do a huge amount else yet,
so just get up in this guy's grill, TBH.
I know that puts a sorcerer right next to a sword guy.
But is there a way I can stop if he tries
to start using the blister?
I like, no.
Yeah, I'd say that whilst you're interfering,
because you can kind of,
he can't turn it that a certain way now, right? I would say that he you're interfering, because you can kind of, he can't turn it
that a certain way now, right?
I would say that he's unable to use the blister
as long as you're on there threatening him.
If you're incapacitated or he can move around without you.
You kicked me off the tower by that point anyway, so.
Yeah, probably.
That's what I'd do.
Anything else on your turn, sir?
That's all, so yeah, that's all I wrote.
All right.
All right.
You being Xantheus. All right, all right. You being Xanthius.
All right, Roman.
The person up the steps hasn't seen me, right?
Yes, they have, because the archer called out
there's someone here and shot you,
and they turned around and was like, ugh.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Because you've been spotted at this point,
so assume that enemy, if you've been spotted,
enemies can see you.
Okie dokie, I'm going to...
Here it comes, big plays.
Here it comes, big plays.
Watch this.
I'm gonna fuckin' barrel into this guy
and push him up the stairs with me,
so it's gonna be a grapple up the stairs.
Okay, well you need to see if you hit him first.
Yeah. Unarmed strike.
Yep, just strength, right? So it's an unarmed strike to attack him to see if you hit him first. Unarmed strike? Yep, just strength right?
So it's an unarmed strike to attack him
to see if you hit him first.
Watch this though.
That's an eight.
Total?
Yeah.
Oh yeah no, he like definitely moves to the side.
I like trip on a step.
You add strength to it or?
Yeah plus one.
Oh wow, okay.
It's an unarmed strike.
It's an unarmed strike attack.
It should be in the list.
Well, we keep the, what you rolled.
12. Yeah, still not enough.
Oh, okay.
But just do it properly in the sense that it's, yeah,
an unarmed strike and then you do it then.
But yeah, unfortunately, not enough.
Well.
So you rush up, that was your action,
you've still got like, you know,
I'd say you've moved round. You are on these steps here.
I'm getting...
You've got bonus action.
I'm gonna bonus action...
Look up at Ophelia, who is silhouetted by this light,
and give a little wink,
and say...
I like this. Great job.
What you're doing is kosher. and say, I like this, great job.
What you're doing is kosher. We're a big fan.
Kosher.
What's kosher in this universe?
What is kosher?
I don't know, I read it somewhere.
You get bardic inspiration.
Oh, thank you.
Because you're gonna need it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So you're gonna D8 to stuff.
Cool, thank you very much.
End of turn?
That is as much as I can do.
Okay.
At the end of that turn,
appearing from this building,
a figure arrives. The Northwestern building.
Yes.
This figure is a tall golden dragonborn,
draconic looking dragonborn.
They have, dragonborn don't normally have wings.
This one has crown steel.
Oh.
With like their mutation of wing-like
protrusion from his back.
And he's carrying a sword that is glowing
with like a golden flame.
Oh, boys.
As the chosen Neris arrives.
Maybe we surrender.
Yeah.
Sure, you can surrender.
Maybe I'm just gonna be an octopus.
Maybe that's just me now.
Arrives, it is his full turn.
I'm just gonna watch the scene.
Because he has to like leave whatever he was doing.
But it is his full turn to arrive. has to leave whatever he was doing, but it is his full turn to arrive.
What is going on out here?
Nothing!
Intruders.
A test of the golden emperor's justice.
And that is gonna be his turn.
After that, the priest woman will go.
This is what you could be.
That is aspirational.
Hmm.
Gods. Final form.
Honestly, that fills me with hope.
Everyone else is scared right now, but I'm like, hello.
Oh boy.
When do the grunts go?
Oh, sorry, the grunts actually go before the priest.
So a bunch of these grunts are gonna move up.
This guy's gonna move up next to the chosen.
There's a barrel guy who puts his barrel down.
God, who is he without the barrel?
I don't recognize him.
It's just a man.
I never saw that guy on the map.
Who the fuck is that?
Where'd he come from?
The kick-ass looking dragon with crown steel wings.
Yes, dragonborn.
Does he have a rod?
He does, yes.
Both him and the prophetess, high priestess,
high prophetess Amaline, both have rods
that you can see sort of on the way still wrapped
into their bell.
The two rods we need to get rid of that force field.
Yes. Yes.
Great.
These guys have just arrived,
I'm not gonna activate those guys,
but yeah, basically all the grunts are in this process
of moving up.
Rowan, the guy that was, you tried to shove up the stairs
is gonna turn around.
Sorry about that.
What about the grunt that I'm just slapping?
He's standing beside you.
Oh, I'll get to him in a minute, don't you worry.
Don't worry, he's got something going on.
Right, the Ballistae crew and the Grunts.
So, let's do Rowan, Grunt against you first.
Yeah.
He's just gonna try and strike you with his weapon.
Ooh, that's only going to be 12.
Yeah.
Oh.
That'll do it.
Oh, that's a problem.
Only a 12.
That is gonna be eight points of damage.
The heavy cudgel slams into you.
Xanthius.
Hey, what up?
Mr. Crew's gonna try and stab you with that short blade.
I'm afraid he misses.
17.
He hits.
That is gonna be six points of damage
and a concentration check, please.
DC 10.
DC 10, concentration.
You're not in the air right now.
I'm not in the air now, but I do have a plus seven. DC 10. DC 10, concentration. You're not in the air right now. I'm not in the air now, but I do have a plus seven.
DC 10.
13.
All right, you pass.
And then Ophelia, that is a 14 to hit.
Just hits.
Just hits.
That is gonna be five points of damage.
A half, so two, because you're raging.
And he also takes damage because of armor of Agathin.
Oh, that's very true, I forgot about that. How much?
Level one, so that is...
No, very good. Five points of cold damage.
Five points of cold damage, all right.
Yeah, he's like, he doesn't really understand this.
Blood armor goes to stab you with a short blade
and then the blood armor shatters into his face.
Ah!
As the armor, but the armor is gone now, right?
Because it was 510 HP, I think you got from it.
Also, don't forget vitality potions,
burn selection, drink on your turn.
Shit, I was meant to do that before we even started.
Oh, it's a shame.
I did notice that I kind of said to everyone,
and then nobody.
Yeah, it's gone.
So it's five, so you lose,
but you don't take any actual damage from it.
I was doing the...
Actually, no, because it was half,
so you would only take two of the temporary HP.
Okay.
So you still have three temporary HP left.
Which is really funny that a barbarian
can have temporary HP,
because then you half it every time.
Okay.
Against it.
Octopus.
Hi.
What's your AC, Octopus?
20.
20, is it?
I don't think it is.
12.
12.
This guy just tries to boot you.
He's just like, fuck, and tries to boot this octopus.
He's gonna get a fright when that turns into a lion.
He does hit 15.
How many HP does an octopus have?
20. 20?
Oh, this is normal, but I don't think it does.
It doesn't. No.
No, it's a tiny creature.
That would be six points of damage.
Which direction does he boot me?
Well, if you turn back into a gruff, you don't fly anywhere.
He boots the octopus.
A lion man!
As the lion man appears next to him.
But yeah, he's just like, what the fuck?
Tries to boot you away.
Do I get to do my reaction before he boots, like before I, I don't know.
No.
Well, actually, yeah, what's the reaction say?
Says, reaction ink cloud once a day. Trigger.
A creature ends its turn
within five feet of the octopus while underwater.
I would also say you would have had to have done it
at the end of its turn when he came up to you.
Yeah, so, no, unfortunately not.
I just wanted to do one thing I wanted to do.
Sorry, what a shame.
What a cruel dungeon master.
I know, so mean.
So mean.
But yeah, he boots you and you come out of octopus form.
Don't forget, if you had any extra damage,
it flows over. Currently still.
Still using old rules for that.
So, that is all of the grunts turn.
Nobody else is doing anything.
They're all just moving into position.
I've turned this octopus into a lion with my foot.
Oh God.
Oh God!
Who'd think?
Just looks in absolute terror.
Come here, let me kick you in the face.
It's what you turn into.
The priest who is this lady here
is going to look over to chosen prophetess.
Prophetess, let the golden emperor shield thee.
And is gonna cast Shield of Faith on her.
Give her a plus two AC.
What a simp.
Big simp.
Big simp.
It's a concentration spell.
It is. It is. The old simp. We can't get Big simp. Big simp. It is a concentration spell. It is.
It is.
The old simp.
We can't get rid of it by hitting that person.
If you want to, Tom, you've got,
I can give you the rings if you want to ring people up,
although you'll have to lean quite far,
so maybe don't bother.
Ring boy.
Ring better.
Ring better.
What a simp.
And then, with 100, I mean,
Groff has just appeared there.
Just exploded.
Yeah, I think that they're gonna like,
they cast this on their thing,
and then they're gonna look over,
oh, and then another intruder,
they've snuck into the pond, to the pool,
the crown steel pool, and they will cast a cantrip
upon you, Gruff, watch out.
Natural 20.
Jesus.
Oh my God.
Doesn't hit.
That was with his dice as well.
Doesn't hit.
Not with my dice.
Does.
Which can trip you tripping me with?
Well, it's their version of Firebolt.
So it's a D10.
10 plus.
10 minimum.
16 fire damage.
I'm in water.
You are stood in a pool of water, yes.
If you were underwater, you would get resistance.
Does swimming in the can, but I'm wet.
Does swimming through the pool, in the crown steely pool,
up through the crown steel, did that do anything to me?
Did you drink it when you were swimming?
Then no.
I rubbed it a little bit.
Okay.
16 fire damage.
Yeah, I'm taking it.
Nice.
With that, that is the end of a very long turn one.
Oh my god.
Smells like wet fur in here.
It does.
So we jump back up to the top,
and I believe it is Daisy.
Oh Christ, everything's not where I want it to be now.
Everyone's looking away from you, if that helps.
Oh, I'm aware of that.
But I don't know how much longer I can keep.
No, because that woman's not looking away from me.
Team kill shot, activate.
Do you want to pass me another concentration ring?
I'll whack it on you.
On me? Yeah, good point.
Can I get a four way split of all the teams?
Kind of like a Ocean's Eleven style thing.
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun run.
You did Count down down, dude was. It was Let's Check. I just heard Countdown. It was Countdown. It was not.
You did Countdown, dude.
Ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-da-da.
Now that's Tank.
Yeah.
Nightmare.
I didn't do that.
Absolutely. I'm checking that board.
Sure.
I know I did.
Yeah, this one's a bit hard to see the squares on.
What are you trying to get to?
I... Oh. What are you trying to get to?
I...
Why do you have a thing I'm just gonna remind?
So after Daisy, it's Ballista Crew, then Gruff, then Ophelia.
The Gruff and Ophelia next up on deck, play-wise.
Can I?
Yes.
Go to here with my movement.
Yes. Shoot a dagger at this guy who doesn't know I'm here? Yes. Go to here with my movement. Yes.
Shoot a dagger at this guy who doesn't know I'm here.
Yes.
And then use dash to hide behind the...
Yes, you can. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
That's why.
Because at the end of your turn, you need to be hidden.
All right, so yeah, so you get advantage
because the guy's unaware of you.
The guy that was just stomped on graph.
Yeah. Yeah.
Is anyone's unaware of you? The guy that was just stomped on graph.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um...
Uh.
Um, 20.
Hits.
Sneak-a-zack.
Okay.
What?
No, it's just exciting.
Oh, I thought you had something.
No, it's just exciting.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
I rolled three ones and a two.
Are you shitting me?
That, I checked the rules the other day,
that actually counts as a triple crit
if you roll the same number three times on the sixes.
That's awesome.
It's like a slot machine.
Yeah.
Nine points of damage.
That's not enough to kill him, unfortunately.
It leaves him very wounded, but not enough.
Can you finish that one off? Well you could instead of dashing to hide, but could throw
through your second dagger and try and maybe see if you can do enough damage to finish him off.
That would leave you exposed. I don't want to leave myself exposed. I want to hide. Okay. Because I
want them to not know. Still give me a stealth check. He's going to get a check because he gets stabbed in the back
by something he's going to whip around.
But you're probably going to succeed on this.
You're also like way behind a big building.
32.
Yeah, he doesn't fucking see anything.
Just like, ah!
Like, they're a captain!
Chosen!
They're in the wall!
He's like, looks back and gruff,
did he somehow do this to me?
Like, but you aren't currently-
Make it look convincing.
Yeah, I'd say that right now, yeah,
they is unaware of you, Daisy.
But yeah, unfortunately, like, not far off from killing it.
Absolutely.
So I'm gonna just use, so that's five, 10, 15, 20.
I kinda wanna move around to this part.
Like, basically I'm sneaking around this bit.
Remember if you're stealth you go half speed.
So you'd only get to the corner.
Oh, so I'm here.
That's fine, that's fine.
I am where I was.
Alrighty.
In that case, up on the top right, the Ballista crew.
This is this grunt and this grunt here.
Xanthias.
In fact, actually no, I think I did them on the Grunt's turn.
So I'm actually going.
Yeah, I got a Fandant already.
Is it not my turn?
No.
It was the Ballista crew, but I fucked up the initiative board,
so I'm not going to do that.
So yeah, Gruffle here.
Then Ophelia.
Hello.
Can I cast Armor of Oak and Thorn?
Bonus action.
Summon the Armor of Oak and Thorn.
I'm going to start to move away from the Grunt next to me.
Attack of Opportunity.
A14.
Does not hit.
Does not hit.
Where would you like to go?
So, as I go though, before I move out of range,
I can't quite see if it is within range,
but I would like to cast Moonbeam.
Where the fuck is the range on Moonbeam?
Oh, it's 120 foot, so...
Yeah, it's a long way.
Do you have your little thing for it?
No, you took it away from me.
Did I?
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
It's probably abusing it or something.
Let's do it.
It's a five-foot...
Custard....silander.
Yes.
And I'd like to cast it on... Five foot silander.
The lady who's casting Shieldy of Faithy.
This one.
Yes. Constitution saving throw.
Constitution saving throw.
15.
On the Reclaimer Priest.
Nice.
Plus four.
Fails on the Moonbeam saving throw.
So do some damage.
So I do...
some damage.
2d10.
2d10.
1.
It's like a 20 to me.
It's a 9 and a 4.
13.
And then concentration check for Should Have Faith.
10. DC10 does succeed.
As I'm backing up, can I out, out, uh...
Ser El Drak Ignis, remember your vows.
Lady Embarrasser needs you.
Okay, what are you moving to?
I want to just use my full movement, so 35 foot,
to kind of move back towards that large statue
around the back of the...
Five, let's see, you can go five, ten, 15.
You've got 15 feet of movement.
And then I'm guessing that's a large statue.
I can't really kind of...
Oh yeah, it blocks movement.
You can't move over it or anything like that.
Do I get cover from the pile of crown steel
between the...
Yeah, I'd give it to some of them.
Yeah, this guard, won't you?
Yeah, not the guards, but the...
Or these guys, but these guys, yeah.
You'd have cover, yep.
What do they call them?
The Chosen. The Chosen, yeah.
Yeah, great. That's me. That's you they call them? The Chosen. The Chosen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, great.
That's me.
That's you done.
In response, Ser Eldritch, like, who's still coming to,
but he's like, my host, you, who are you?
Who are you?
What is going on?
These fools.
And you can see he begins, like,
flexing against the chains.
We'll see what happens on his turn, though.
It's his turn to break it through.
But he's like, he like looks around,
like whips his head around,
and it's muffled through the helmet, Gruff,
but he's like, who are you to give me such commands?
Oh, fwere.
Did you say anything?
Oh, um.
I'm a messenger of Lady Embryssa.
Very well. Uh, Embarissa. Hmm. Very well.
Ah, Ophelia.
Aye.
Yeah, Ophelia will attack the Scrun in front of her.
Yes.
I'll be showing you the power of the House of Blood.
Blood.
Blood.
Yeah, let's go.
We reckless in, we not reckless in.
Natural 20.
Magic!
You were talking about it.
Now, which dice?
Do you have any blood points?
Because you did take some damage,
so you would have gained a blood point.
I would have one, yes.
So remember, because if you spend it now,
you get the correct fret on.
That's a reminder.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm gonna,
I'm just really,
I'm just going up to a bloint.
Like really,
blood points.
Bloint.
Like, bloint.
So,
so D8 maxed.
So D8 veracity maxed, so eight plus a D6 maxed if you're spending a blood point.
So, 14 plus another D8, another D6 in your modifiers.
Another D8, another D6. These are rare.
Well done, Rick!
We got there! We did it!
So, 18.
And then a 7 on the D8.
25 plus your modifiers.
So, 2 plus another 1 plus two, two plus two,
another four.
29.
29.
29?
29.
29.
Do you want to sucky sucky,
or are you gonna, with over-ante, or anything?
Oh, I need two right now.
Sure, okay, in that case.
Send the message, you, bleh!
You slash Alucard style with the rapier,
slits across his throat, blood sprays all over you.
This guy is toast.
And she does it lit up so that everyone can see it happen.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, so yeah, with that,
you just watch as this arterial spray
as this guard goes down.
Will Raven guard level of intro from Borgsgate
when he just jumps down?
The blade of frontiers, cha!
The O would be Brittle of Rosa
and then you just demolish this goodness, dude.
Anything else on video and chat?
That was just your action, you got movement,
you got bonus action.
Should I have to move up to the guy on the Ballista
to help Zan try and dash it up?
15, 20, 25, 30, so if you, you can get to the base of it,
and then on your next turn,
because you don't have a dash unfortunately.
Oh yeah, I don't have a dash, yeah.
Next turn you can easily go up.
Next to the guy that Rowan is.
Yeah, I'll move up next to them, yeah.
So you're basically on here, he's like around the corner.
He's got a bit of cover from you, but okay.
So you like rush towards the tower.
Amazing, perfect.
Right, after Ophelia's turn.
Penelope!
It is Penelope, well remembered.
Um.
She's in the water next to this archer, she's like.
Like, ah!
She has pulled this archer down, yeah.
How does Penelope feel about violence?
She is willing to fight to protect people she cares about.
She's not Lady Verithair, she's not a pacifist,
she will fight to protect people.
Probably not to kill.
She probably wouldn't kill, kill.
Yeah, she'll probably do non-lethal,
but she will try and damage them
and knock them out and stuff.
So, she's fighting, I feel like,
just come along and go, lethal now.
Yeah.
Could she cast Entangle on this archer next to her?
Yeah.
Or they're underwater.
Yeah.
I would say that, because it's plants and stuff,
he would still be able to, she would not kill him.
She would let him drown, she would like hold it
as soon as like heads above water.
Just so that she can be like,
oh, the right way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
So I believe Entangle is a,
I've gotta look it up here.
Saving throw.
One action saving, strength save.
Strength saving throw, perfect.
Thank you very much for looking that up.
That's all right.
On the Archer,
oh, strength's not the best.
Nine, fails. Nice.
Strength, cool.
So he is restrained.
I imagine they're gonna be there for a while
with their low strength as well.
I think it's a strength every time, isn't it?
Yeah, it's concentration as well, entangled.
So yeah, do you want Penelope to move?
Yeah, can Penelope move back towards the brazier,
like just hide behind these rocks?
Six, 20, 25, she can get to there without moving.
He does still get an opportunity to attack,
but it's with disadvantage.
Two, he's gonna fail.
Okay, cool.
That's straight away, two.
So yeah, she wraps him up, it's like seaweed and kelp
and things, and it like wraps him up,
and he's like just barely got his head above water
so he can breathe, and you just hear this like,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but here,
and little leggies kicking away.
And she flees away.
Anything else?
I think that's her.
Alrighty, after them, it is Lady Verithera's turn.
So, sensing that this is all going crazy,
Lady Verithera will just, like, her mouth almost takes a slightly
more draconic scaled hue, and she just,
and just all of, a bunch of crown steel
falls out of her mouth and just piles on the ground.
Not loads of it, but like, quite, you know,
large, raw chunks of it basically.
Clearly from some hidden part of her body.
One of the benefits of being able to change her shape,
she's obviously created some extra place
where she could hide this,
look like she's eating it, right?
So she kind of hawks it all up inside the dome,
but she just looks and is just like,
I'm sorry, there's not much else I can do until I am free.
But unfortunately, that's all she can do.
She's like in the bubble, like, eh, eh, anyone?
I did it, I did my bit.
Eldrake Ignis.
Chained up Eldrake Ignis, though, right?
Can he break through?
He is going to attempt to break his chains.
He's on M2.
Break my chains.
Because of his crown settlement,
he's gonna have advantage on strength checks.
At least for a bit.
14. 14.
Oh.
That is not enough.
No, no!
You can see the metal and it's the stone almost,
like especially around that big muscular corrupted arm.
Just, ah!
He's just like, how dare you imprison me?
How dare you imprison a knight of the Veil?
He's like stretching against it.
He is, yeah, very close.
He was 19, DC's 20 to me.
Oh.
So close.
Fair enough.
I could add a fate.
You could add a fate.
I'm gonna spend one of my DM fates
and it will automatically succeed,
but I'll roll it anyway.
Three?
Yeah!
You watch.
Go.
GX!
GX! Yes. And he just looks around. Three? Yeah! You watch. No. Jax! Jax!
Jax!
Yes.
And he just looks around.
He holds out his regular hand
as the halberd flies up into his hand.
And you see it kind of ignites on fire.
But there is Gruff.
You're the closest one.
There's, he is struggling.
You can see that his eyes glance back
towards the pile of crown steel as well.
It's a wisdom.
He like looks around at it, he like,
almost is like fighting with his back to it.
He doesn't like move away, he doesn't like step forward.
It's his full turn pretty much to break out anyway,
but like he summons this and he will look at the Chosen,
the Priest, and the Guard in front of him,
and he swipes, oh no, it's an action to break free,
so he can't attack this turn.
He can't do anything this turn.
Nearly.
Nearly.
But they are.
Hitting themselves.
You do see the Priest is like,
Vessel, please, no, we are really trying to help you ascend. You will be greater than anything. And you see the Chosen, like, Vessel, please, no, like we are really trying to help you ascend. You will be greater than anything.
And you see the Chosen like, Vessel,
you do not understand the power.
We are trying to help you.
He's like, you imprison me like a dog?
Pshh!
Yes!
And he's pissed.
But they're pleading with him,
desperately trying to calm him down.
But you're not sure if that's gonna have much effect.
A dragon born and chains.
The old archer down here, who is currently restrained,
strength saving throw, is a fail, 12, just barely fails.
I can't do shit.
It's just restrained.
Not underwater though.
Yeah, and I'm gonna say that they can't pull their bung,
they say that they just can't really do anything at this point.
Right, but because you guys need all the help you can get. I'm gonna say that they can't pull their bung. I'm gonna say that they just can't really do anything at this point, right?
But could you guys need, all the help you can get. Just give us a little crumb.
Wow.
Give us this little crumby.
I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking.
It's not wrong.
A little crumb from the DM.
High Prophet Amalyn, the Choshen,
will once again just be like,
please, Vettel, you could be so much more
than what you are now, not a mere knight,
you would be a god.
Please, let us deal with these intruders
and then we will discuss the matter of you being here.
We only use the chains for our protection.
And then we'll point and just be like,
gods, deal with these intruders,
do not let them get close to the Vessel.
And we'll look around and within 60 feet of her,
five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 50, 60,
we'll be able to kind of catch about here, I would say.
Ophelia and Rowan, she will reach up
and from the cavern ceiling, a rain of fire shall fall down.
Dexterity saving throws from you both, please.
Does that also hit her, man?
Yeah, she doesn't need two of her godly gods.
She seems like that kind of person, you know?
She's got that energy.
You do get Danger Sense, you get advantage.
He fails. C-O-E-N-E-R-G-Y.
I got a seven.
Purified in flame, my soldier, she calls out.
This guy is like, he's like, you can see he's in pain,
but he's like, yes!
Come, come!
I didn't say it, I didn't say it.
You guys said it, not me.
I'm being very careful about not saying that anymore.
What do we get on our next seven throws?
17. 17's a success.
Seven. Is a fail.
The other, the guy also failed. That is a success. Seven. Is a fail.
The guy also failed.
That is gonna be eight fire damage,
four fire damage to Ophelia.
Drink from his half-liquid potion.
Mm-hmm.
That is her action.
If you survive.
She will,
Placatedly, maybe back away from Ser Eldrick a little bit.
Maybe use a little bit of scooch up.
She's just, I was gonna scooch away a little bit. Oh, maybe use a little bit of scooch up. She's just, I was gonna scooch away a little bit
just there, maybe.
And work-wade.
No.
Just like pleading.
Wait a bit, whistle.
Whistle.
A little whistle.
Eldrick, are you gonna use?
This captain over here, he will immediately,
he will immediately,
he will call out a battle cry using his one today ability. He raises his sword, come for the golden emperor!
And all allies within 30 feet,
which is gonna be all of these guys around here,
get advantage.
He just did the exact thing that you said
you weren't gonna say.
What?
You said you wanted to avoid, come!
Yes, come, but then you said,
come for the golden emperor. He just showed it. You guys! that you said you weren't gonna say. What? You said you wanted to avoid. Come! Yes, come, but then you said come.
For the golden emperor.
For the golden emperor.
He just showed it really intensely.
You guys.
You always screw me up.
He's got to his head.
All of his allies within 30 feet gain advantage
on attack rolls until the start of his next turn,
and then he is gonna rush in.
Poor old Rowan.
But you are the closest target.
I'm just gonna, whoa, whoa.
Please, kill me.
And he's gonna make an attack against you,
a strike attack.
Natural 20.
God, really?
Oh my God.
Well, Mark, I've got six HP, so.
What?
You could outright kill me.
You've got reduction, right?
I do have Sturzendural.
You do.
2D8, 16.
Jesus.
Luckily, bad damage on that second one.
That is 23 points of damage.
You're not outright.
Yeah, I'm not outright.
Do you want to try and reduce it?
Even if I got 12 off, I'm still down.
Still down.
Is it 1d12?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I will just...
Is it plus, is it just 1d12?
It should be plus some.
Plus, I can remain.
It's probably not enough,
but just for future reference...
2 is plus 2, so I can get 14 makes.
Sure.
What was that?
Something fell off somewhere, it is.
But yeah, unfortunately he just moves up and...
knocks Roman down with a strike.
Cool.
Nice. Shit.
I sound like the drums in Dune as I knock into all the drums.
Bowels. Nice. Shit. I sound like the drums in Dune as I knock into all the drums. Bounce. Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
Uh, Xanthius.
Gurgle.
Gurgle.
Um, hey, what up?
So, um, the shove action.
Yes.
It says that they make a strength save against what?
Uh, is that on following the new rules
under unarmed strike?
This is just on the D&D Beyond.
Yeah.
It's still part of an unarmed strike, so.
So you have to hit OSC.
It's one of the three things you can do.
Yeah.
So you do the unarmed strike,
you can either damage, grapple, or shove.
Unarmed strike is not fantastic for me.
But I don't really have any other way of really pushing.
Like a thunder wave or?
I don't have thunder wave.
I have a tremor, which would prone them, but...
That's not enough.
They'll just be laying down at the edge.
Unless I...
Can I...
Can I...
I guess it's still a Shove, right?
Sorry?
It's a Sparta.
I think I might have to do the Shove action, yeah.
It'd still be an Arm-Arm Strike.
Still an Arm-Arm Strike, which is an amount that I simply cannot find here, but I will roll with...
It's basically your Strength, Potential, Profic D. It's basically your strength plus your proficiency.
You just use fate?
I'm gonna use a fate.
Okay.
I'm absolutely using a fate on this.
So this is to see if you hit him.
Yeah.
Wow, net one.
That's fun.
Oh.
That's so fun.
Well, four, four I do with the rest of the stuff,
so I go to kick him.
I go right past him.
I go down myself, I suppose.
Luckily you're flying, so you just hover back into place.
Shit, unfortunately, yeah, this guy's just waiting
for the kick, almost expecting it,
knowing that he's on a big tall tower,
and just dodges to the side.
I push with my hand, he won't budge.
I grab his collar, I Dragon Breath in his face then.
Okay. For the bonus action.
Alrighty.
So, he makes a dexterity saving throw, 15.
Four, fails.
2d6 damage, hell yeah.
Three.
Pfft.
Oh my God.
What is with dice today?
Three damage.
What's that? Three damage, three damage. Three damage. Three damage.
Three damage.
Three damage.
You kind of like burp and it's really spicy and he's like, oh!
And you use some of the like the bulldark noodles.
A bit of smoke comes out of your nostrils.
Oh my god.
You're so strange.
You're so chucks.
We're so good at this.
Mark! Oh my god. That was so much screen. You're a pain in the shucks.
We're so good at this.
Mark, help!
No, I mean I've given you the tools.
He's burning now at least.
Yes, he does take the burning gauge.
So he's on fire.
Ring bearer.
Anything else on your turn? You got movement?
I do have movement. You can fly away, could do.
You get an attack of opportunity.
I'm not going to.
No?
No.
Okay.
If I'm five feet away, I'm off the tower,
he might hit me.
You can fly.
I can fly, but he might hit me,
I might break concentration.
So my turn will amount to, ah, and then fall into the ocean.
Ah!
All right, well unfortunately it then goes to Rowan.
That's saving throw time.
Easy, nat 20, watch this.
Here it comes.
Nat 20, nat 20, nat 20, nat 20, nat 20, nat 20.
Nat 20.
Nat 20.
Oh my god!
Yeah!
Every time.
Yes!
Every time, it works 7%, 30% of the time.
Oh! I'm alive!
I'm alive!
One HP!
One HP!
One HP!
Woo!
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Our friend Jesus is back.
I mean, technically you're prone.
Does any show ever have as many Nat 20 deaths as this?
He's risen!
I am.
A disciple!
It's not even just that we roll a lot of them,
it's we call them every time.
It's not just we roll them, it's watch this drive.
If you call everyone.
It feels like we roll them without calling them
and it doesn't happen.
But when we roll a death center throw
and go like, watch this drive, it is every time. Anyway, one HP, it's your turn.
It's the start of your turn, Rowan.
Gah.
I disengage and Sausage Rolls to the water.
You crawl.
Do you wanna stand up?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
You're next to the archer.
Do you wanna get in the water? You wanna get in the water. You're next to the archer. Do you want to get in the water? Yes.
You want to get in the water.
But what, you have to sink like a stone.
Ooh!
That's a sonic rush.
So that would be your action and your movement.
You've still got bonus action left.
Get yourself some 10 HP.
You could use a bardic.
I'm gonna quaff that.
Show us your vitality.
Sure, sure, sure.
2d4 plus four, two.
You can go away, I don't care.
I don't care. Just 10 HP, but hey, you're your vitality. 2d4 plus two. You can go away. I don't care. I don't care.
It's 10 HP, but hey, better than nothing.
Five.
Five?
Five 10 HP is better than one normal HP.
That's five times what my normal HP is right now.
Amazing, the captain is like, haha,
yes, I've struck one down,
and then looks down as you're like,
what are you doing?
He's just so excited, he's like,
I thought I killed him.
Splashing water.
Oh, shh.
What, did he just?
All right, well that is Rowan's turn.
Oh.
Oh my god.
What a boy, what a guy.
Cheers.
When he gets there, I saw some trouble.
Neris will fly.
The what, sorry?
That chosen Neris, the flame sword.
I don't like him.
He's got a dark souls name.
Neris.
Neris.
Neris, N-E-R-I-S.
Neris.
Five, two, three.
The health bar just appeared at the bottom of the screen,
guys.
Uh-oh, is that Ophelia?
How many pips underneath?
What was your pathetic god called again?
As he's going to attack Ofulia.
I'll use a new d20, shall I?
Shall I use this one?
Would you like to give me one?
That one historically rolls.
Would you like to give me a different one?
You can have...
No.
What does the Neris d20 look like?
I've got a good one somewhere.
Spiky.
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere.
I'm gonna use this one if...
I'm done waiting.
Neris' d20 looks like a d18. Rhiannon, you have too much stuff one if you, I'm done. I'm done waiting. Ferris is a D20, looks like a D18.
Rhiannon, you have too much stuff.
I'm gonna roll.
Just roll the dice.
I have this one.
Oh, would you want me to use that one?
It's got skulls in it.
No, it doesn't, that's too glittery.
All right, strike it out.
It's the cocaine one.
18 to hit.
Yeah.
Yep.
Ow.
Brr, brr, brr, brr, brr, brr.
Nine points, so four damage to you, slashing damage,
and you gain a stack of Auric Fire.
As his golden sort of glowing sword hits you,
it kind of encases you in this glittery golden aura.
You'll find out what that does later.
And then I will spend one fake point
to activate his Voice of Gold ability,
and he will command the Ballista crew above
to make an attack against Xanthius.
Ha!
That is an 11 to hit, though.
Does not hit.
Yeah, so he's like, oh yes, chosen!
Swings at Xanthius, you just sort of dodge back,
flying in the air.
You motherfucker.
You gold dragonborn crownsteel wearing motherfucker.
That's my whole claim. This guy does not appear to be wearing any crownsteel wearing mother fucker. That's my whole frame.
This guy does not appear to be wearing any crownsteel.
But those wings.
He takes the band-aid, I've got,
I've got a crownsteel right here.
He does that, and he's got like a bigger one.
Yeah.
But the wings are of the same, like your hand,
it's made from that black kind of golden
kind of corrupted flesh.
Bitch ass bitch.
That's my whole thing.
That is his full turn.
He can fly?
Oh no, he's got bonus action.
Are you copying him or is he copying you?
He's had it for longer.
He looks up at you, Xanthias.
Oh.
Get over here.
Can you make a strength saving throw for me, please?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I prefer him.
He seems cool.
As he whips out with like a chained kunai danger.
Yes.
Strength saving throw.
Strength saving throw please.
Plus one, natural 20.
Natural 20.
Oh!
Ping!
You just like with your corrupted hand,
just knock it away.
We'll deal with you in a second.
Yes. As I survey the battlefield, and lock eyes with Crownsteel. Corrupted hand, just knock it away. We'll deal with you in a second.
Yes, yes.
As I survey the battlefield
and lock eyes with Crownsteel, I suppose.
Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
So who's burning?
This guy, because you breathed on him, right?
Yeah.
Five damage, five D6 damage, four points of damage.
He burns so much that he's running around.
Definitely does not seem to like being on fire.
Like, no.
No.
No.
Uh, any of the other grunts under under any other effects?
No, they're not, right.
Oh, Moonbeam.
Oh, shh.
Oh, she's got a grunt.
She is not taking that, she just goes next.
So she will take damage,
so she's just gonna move out of it at the end of her turn,
but she'll take damage over the end.
And then he moves it back up.
And then he will move it back up. These grunts back here, I'm just gonna move out of it at the end of her turn, but she'll take damage at the end of it. And then he moves it back up. And then he will move it back up.
These grunts back here, I'm just gonna move five.
Oh yeah, the summoned lads, the reinforcements.
Five, five, five.
That's a lot of damage.
I'm just gonna have them take a single move
for them to dash around.
Just a second.
This, the Ballistae crew guard is going to try,
they saw you fly up, they are gonna actually
kinda push past you through the Ballistae,
and they're gonna jump in the water,
because they wanna not be on fire anymore.
That's fair.
They're gonna make an acrobatics check
to see if they can jump in the water.
You get to, Xanthias, you get an attack of opportunity.
Oh my god.
Attack of opportunity, okay.
Just as a point as well,
regardless of the Attack of Opportunity,
I rolled a one there.
All right.
So they are gonna be taking
3d6 at half it like I did for you guys.
They're gonna take 1d6, 2d6 of falling damage.
Oh my god.
As they fuck up their jump.
They're gonna take more damage from this fall
than the fire damage dealt to them.
But like as a human being you'd be like,
fuck I'm on fire, water, dive in.
You're not thinking about the perfect-
Do you want to make a sacrifice?
I won't actually because I've got shield,
as which is a reaction.
Three points of damage as they dive into the water.
What is it with 2D6 against this guy specifically?
Sploosh.
So five, jump, and then they get out here.
Frax is at the bottom.
Yeah.
And then they're actually gonna swim over
and try and free their friend.
Aw, isn't that nice?
That too, they fail, they're like, ugh,
trying to pull the seaweed off.
Like so burnt.
This guy's having a bad day.
That poor little grunt is having a very bad day.
Right, other grunts, no.
Oh Rowan, I feel so bad,
because you're so feeble, but they're right here.
What the fuck?
He did swim, did he swim further away?
No, he swam to there,
because he only had half movement,
because he stood up.
No.
Aw.
They're gonna surround him.
Oh god.
These guys are, come after Gruff.
This guy's fucking terrifying.
Serrell Tranky's like, no.
Run away.
And then these guys haven't moved yet.
They're gonna try to help out against a feedback.
20, 25, 30.
So they're like coming up the stairs.
Ugh.
Actually, they're gonna use their bonus action
to dash these stairs.
Ruh!
That's awesome.
Oh god, they can, so there's two grunts and a big...
Yeah, down there.
But what a lovely big group though, big AoE though.
Ooh, yum yum yum.
Right, Rowan, I'm sad to say mate,
I'm about to make three attacks against you.
Well, the three nat ones, here they come.
They might do, honestly, these guys,
they might roll real shit.
Yeah, but watch this.
We can do it.
Manifesting, manifesting.
19.
First one's gonna hit.
Might not do enough damage.
Second one.
Ooh, second one, 12.
Yeah, that hits.
Yeah.
Natural 20.
Oh, what are you doing?
Natural 20.
Wait, the first one's gonna knock him down. Yeah. Well, maybe. Natural 20. Oh my god! Natural 20? Wait.
The first one's gonna knock him down.
Yeah.
Well, maybe.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.
I've got six HP.
Shit. One HP of legit.
First one, you take four damage.
Second one, you would take three points of damage.
You're at zero, the third one would hit you.
Stone Endurance. You could Stone Endurance it. As a reaction, yes're at zero, the third one would hit you. Stones Endurance.
You could Stone Endurance it.
As a reaction, yes.
So the first one is four.
Well you could Stone...
I've only done this once.
Well.
So I will do that for the first one.
Either way you're going down, but...
But remember, if I strike him when he's at zero,
it's a melee attack as well, so it's two.
What was the first damage?
Four.
So that goes back.
So nothing from that one.
Nothing from that one.
You take three from the next one.
I'm down to one.
Okay.
No, you would have been at five temp HP,
so you've got two temp HP left,
and then the next attack would take you down to zero again.
Luckily you have water breathing,
but you are unconscious.
Does he sink?
I mean he would start to sink, yeah.
He would blub, blub, blub, blub, blub.
So these guys think he's done.
They're just like, no, that guy's dead.
Like he's in the water, he's gonna drown.
We're pretty sure this time.
They, bonus action, dashed.
So they do get to make attacks actually against Ophelia.
Ophelia, 22, a hit.
And then that one's cocked.
14.
Yep, just.
First attack, three, so one.
One, yep.
Next one, four, two.
Two.
Nice.
Armor of Agathys, do you still have that?
No, it's gone.
You did know you did,
because remember you halved the damage.
He only did three points of damage to you,
so you had two left.
So the first guy would take five cold damage,
and that would break out the 10-Page P.
Because you still had two 10-Page P left.
It's for as much 10-Page P as you have.
I think it went the turn before that.
Did you take... I don't remember taking damage after you cast it.
The Dark Souls guy attacked you, right?
Yeah.
Oh, he would have taken five, yes. That's right.
He would have taken five. I will put that on him. But then these guys this turn don't. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Oh, he would have taken five, yes. That's right, he would have taken five.
I will put that on here.
But then these guys this turn don't.
Yeah. Yeah.
So it's gone.
Yeah.
Is it a melee?
With the golden dragonborn?
Yes, yeah, it was, yeah.
All right, so yeah, they hit you for a bunch of
little damage, piddly damage. Bllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll After the grunts, that is all the grunts go, it is the priest, she takes damage from moonbeam.
Concentration check, constitution's over three.
Oh well, that was really cocked.
Five, fails, so takes the full moonbeam damage.
19 points of damage.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Nice.
God damn.
19, you said.
Yes.
And she has to make a save.
She doesn't need to make a save for anything,
she's fucking dead.
Whoa!
Holy crap!
32 points of damage from these two moon beams.
Fucking hell.
You might get a moon beam there though.
It's still up, yeah.
Yeah, I will leave that there.
Oh my god.
So yeah, you watch as like,
she starts scrambling to get away from this light,
like, ah, ah, the light!
Ah, until she starts to jam,
and then she just gets out of it, there's another sud, brrrrroww, and she's just, p. Like, ah, ah, the light! Ah, and so she's just jammed, and then she just gets out of it,
there's another sud,
brrrrrow, and she's just,
ah, like, sent sprawling.
You can probably see that Lady Verithera's
putting her hand against the dome,
like, oh, watching her die.
This green dragon obviously does not enjoy
watching these people die,
but that's her problem, not yours.
Uh.
But yeah, moonbeam annih Um... Um, but yeah.
Moonbeam annihilates a person who doesn't even get a go.
Like, I had fucking big spells that she was gonna cast.
I was not expecting that much damage.
That was nearly max.
Fucking hell.
She's got a Shield of Faith.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, like, well...
She's now gone.
The thing is, so, as a point,
cause, I mean, maybe there'll be another one of those,
but, like, she has things like Fireball and Healing Spells,
but didn't need those at the beginning.
Just got annihilated.
Rip Deadarini.
I did one thing today, that was it.
All right, we are, we'll try and get through
as much of this turn as possible,
because it is a big one.
Daisy, back up to the top of a brand new round, turn three.
Hello, can I
peek, boop boop, peek around?
Still hidden, yep.
That's as far as you can get moving stealthily.
Basically, I wanna peek around
and I wanna try and hit Sneaky Sneak,
the one who hasn't been damaged yet, first.
Okay.
To see if I can kill him.
Kill him. Yep.
And we'll see how it goes.
Well, you have advantage.
If I do.
Let's go.
I don't know if I'm going to win or not.
You've got advantage.
I had advantage last time.
It's not the hit, it's the dice.
Fucked me last time.
Ooh, 17 plus seven to hit.
24.
Twenty-two.
I don't know why I said it like that.
Pretend I didn't.
Cut it.
Easy hit.
Just edit that out.
Just edit that out.
You don't find the script.
Please.
Rigid script.
It's a rigid script, yeah.
It looks average.
You did write that down.
It might be okay.
15.
Just.
Ah!
Oh, shit.
That's my girl.
From the shadows, another radiant blade
catches the guy in the neck groff right in front of you. Oh, shit. That's my girl. From the shadows, another Radiant Blade
catches the guy in the neck groff right in front of you.
Falls down into the thing.
Golly golly golly golly golly golly golly golly golly golly.
Just streaming out into the pool.
Bam.
Bonus action to the injury.
Throw the second one, yeah?
Do I have advantage because he doesn't know where I am?
Yes, for this turn he does not know where you are.
Because I hit at the end of the round.
I really got him.
Oh my god.
Is that TIE Fighter again?
TIE Fighter this time.
Is that TIE Fighter or is that Mecha J? Is that like up there with Mecha J?
Elephants.
25 to hit.
Hits?
A brutal death.
What noise would you make?
You get stabbed in the neck by a spinning,
glowing radiant blade.
Grrr.
Seven point seven.
Is it enough?
Eeeh!
You got the fucking one in the room.
Two kill shots doing the next thing.
This one's dying.
This one, this one like turns,
cause like the first one he was like,
he sees his mate, he turns in direction,
goes straight, it doesn't get to make a sound,
it's just a,
ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Oh my god. He sees his mate, he turns in direction, goes straight, and doesn't get to make a sound. He's just like, uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Oh my god.
Double kill.
Double kill.
Double kill.
That's both the people next to Raph gone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fucking hell.
So brutal.
That does mean you can't hide on this turn though, Daisy.
But I am still behind a pillar.
You are behind cover.
Yes, you are behind cover,
but you are now revealed as you have not hidden. Daisy behind a temple. You are behind cover. Yes, you are behind cover, but you are now revealed
as you have not hidden.
Daisy behind a temple, like, what should I do?
I'm such a delightful-
Shhh!
No, no, no, no, no!
Okay!
Like watching a pro in Cod or something just throw a knife.
Yeah, they're insufferable.
Don't!
And it's like coming up the kill count for Daisy.
Chill streak! UAV online.
Beep boop beep boop.
I know they're in trouble over there, but...
Not much you can do about it.
I don't know, I'm trying to, like...
I don't know.
It helps me greatly.
I'm trying to thin the herd over here.
It helps me a lot.
So that Gruff could then get free to go and do stuff.
Alrighty.
In that case, we go to Gruff.
OK.
Um...
Neval and DM. Yes? Would Gru that case, we go to Gruff. Okay, Neverland DM.
Yes.
Would Gruff know, knowing that Sir Eldritch
is a Knight of the Veil,
would he know what the vows are?
No.
You never learned it.
You could have learned it in Caldron, but you never did.
Would I not have read around,
like when I was trying to figure out what knight I wanna be?
No.
Okay.
You have not shown any interest in joining the Knights of the Veil, like that was trying to figure out what knight I wanna be. No, again. You have not shown any interest
in joining the Knights of the Veil.
Like, that was not something you pursued.
I'm gonna hard say.
He just might be a little knight nerd.
I'm like, you know, pick it up.
You can make a history check,
but it's gonna be a high DC.
I agree, I'd a lot.
It's gonna be a high DC.
Oh, roll it.
These three are gone.
What else would happen?
History?
History on back.
It was Tom's Accenture when they got me.
I knew it was.
I'll roll the three on history.
I don't know the vows.
I would like to send the moonbeam.
Part of me says I should send it onto the priestess prophetess,
but also there are a lot of goons over there
and they are very nicely clumped.
There is a captain.
Yeah, big nice clump.
Big boob.
I'm going to send.
Also the one surrounding Rowan.
My moonbeam, who are we calling the captain
for the person that's in the red cape?
He's in the red cape.
Yeah, the cape.
Way over our side.
I would like to send the moonbeam towards the clump
that is bullying Rowan.
So how far can it move?
60 foot.
God damn.
Do you want it like on this guy?
You can put it, it's five foot radius,
so it basically would hit like,
you can put it here and it would hit these guys.
Yes, as long as I get the captain in that.
That's probably too much actually,
I think yeah, it would hit like two of these guys, I think.
Can I get the captain in that?
Yeah, I'd say you put it like here.
Yeah. Captain and a goon. All right, sure. Constitution, I think. Can I get the Captain in that? Yeah, I'd say you put it like here. Yeah. Captain and Lagoon.
All right, sure.
Constitution, so 15.
Yes.
Yeah, it's the first time, yeah.
The Captain is, that is gonna be a success.
That's like 18.
The Grunt, that is Constitution.
Grunts are still pretty tough, 16, unfortunately,
so half damage to both.
It's a five points of damage. So, still damage.
So is that already half, the five?
No, no, no, I rolled a five.
You rolled a five, so that's only two.
Yeah, still something.
Last time you rolled 19, so.
Yeah, you're taking out that priest that quickly,
it's a huge day, yeah.
Yeah, that was great.
I would use...
That's your action mode section.
That's my action to move moonbeam.
My bonus action, I want to drink a potion of vitality.
So that's two.
Okay, 2d4 plus two.
Are you still laughing at the noise?
Four, five, six, seven.
So I've got seven tenths HP,
and that does not stack on my four, right?
It does not, it would replace the four.
So you would have seven instead of four.
Still better than nothing.
You fucking looked at me and that was a bad thing.
Can I just still move a little bit away
so the prophetess does not have line of sight on me?
This gives you cover, but it doesn't block line of sight.
Just a little bit, like not too far around.
Like so those other goons don't look at me.
Yeah.
They can look at you.
I just don't want them to look at me.
Okay. Sure.
Okay, I've got you.
And then can I just shout, stop it.
I'm not like, fine.
Sir Ignis, remember your vows, remember Cauldra.
Lady Embressa, she loves you, she needs you.
Okay.
I'm just gonna use a try.
Sure.
And that's my turn.
All right. my turn.
All right. Good turn.
After Gruffuth, it would be Ophelia,
surrounded by the enemy.
Yes.
So this guy just dissed my god, right?
He said yeah, yes.
He dissed me.
Big time.
He dumped your deity.
Yeah, he did dump my deity.
Yeah, Ophelia's gonna rage against this guy and just,
yeah, just go mad.
I love it.
This guy is pretty armored.
That's cocked.
Yeah, sure.
13.
Yeah, 13.
I don't think his fate's gonna help with this guy.
Might be 20.
Don't know how armored he is, yeah.
Yeah.
He's wearing full plate.
Nah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So yeah, you go to strike and just deftly
with his two-handed bastard sword just
carries away.
Bonus action.
Can't really do anything.
Can't really move.
Surrounded on all sides.
You can move, but yeah,
it would be an attack opportunity all round.
That's me.
Unless you wanna disengage.
All right, so you make the attack,
but then that's it.
Do you wanna activate like Form of Dread,
as a bonus section?
Not right now.
All righty.
Okay, after Ophelia.
Penelope. Penelope.
Very important. Penelope.
The healer Penelope.
Penelope is going to swim down to Rowan,
and he is going to cast...
I don't know how she can do this.
So it's either Mass Healing Word or her Vitality Surge
are the only two things she can do.
One is a one, right?
One is the one-er, so I'll do...
Well, they're both one-ers.
What do you mean one-er?
She's only got one done.
One is on of each of both, but...
So, the one that stays in place?
It's 10 feet around her, and it lost three turns.
It restores 10 HP to any creatures of her choice,
and within 10 feet of her, and it poisons enemies.
There's 10 points of poison damage.
That could be good for the end.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
Cool, yeah, I'll do Vitality Bloom.
All right, so Rowan is like,
I would say that he's sung like five feet down
at this point. Yeah.
She swims up to, she activates his vitality,
she like brings herself in, clutches her staff.
Oh, Lady Verothea, please let this work,
please let this work.
And she kind of clutches it tightly,
as you watch all the seaweed and kelp
sort of rise up around her, and it glows green,
and it forms almost like a flowery pattern around it and it reaches out,
touches Rowan, 10 HP to Rowan.
Nice.
And I'd say that because he's only five feet
under the surface, these three goons
are gonna take 10 poison damage as these seaweed kelps
rip up and strike them.
Nice.
That is...
Good turn for Penelope.
I think those two are unenjoyed right now.
So the other two take 10 each.
So yeah, you watch as they're like,
they look down in the water,
something's got my leg!
They're like pulling out as this seaweed
kind of is wrapped around them.
But we'll move Penelope over to Rowan.
Cool, well.
But Rowan is back Back, 10 HP.
Three turns, that lasts.
So, and it has, she does have to maintain concentration,
like a concentration spell.
Okay.
I think I forgot to put that on there.
So if I'm in that aura, I get healed 10 every turn.
At the start of, so,
start of her turn, yes.
Cool.
Which was before mine.
So you do have 10.
I do have 10 now.
You have 10 now, yes.
So, Penelope's turn done.
Great, yep.
Lady Fyrifir unfortunately cannot do anything,
but Sareldrake can.
He will whip round,
and this golden red,
this kind of red and gold face helm
will stare intently in your direction, Gruff.
And you can feel that there's so much anger
but and just frustration bubbling there
but just quickly turns away and Sir Elmdrak will,
oh, I have to make a wisdom saving throw
at the start of this turn.
Interesting.
He will, he...
backs up into the water here.
Kind of like, you can see he looks around, almost assessing everything.
He will, in fact, actually no, he'll come around this side.
He sees the three guards over there,
and he will wave the halberd up in the air
as three points of light appear and then
as three blasts of magic from his.
We've got our own Dark Souls boss.
Yes, his crown steel blast.
Each of these creatures have to make a dexterity
same throw.
First one fails.
Nice.
Second one succeeds.
Yes.
Third one fails.
Yes.
This is gonna be a D10 of damage to each of the failures.
What are the failures?
Oops, fail.
First one, one.
Second one, nine.
These are three fresh ones as well.
So the first one like manages to dodge out of the way.
Most of it just kind of singes past him.
The three blasts, one appears to be fiery,
one appears to be golden like radium,
and the other one is black as night,
as they blast past.
One of them takes the necrotic one directly in the chest
and is like, ah, like stumbling around.
But you see that corrupted claw places a hand firmly
on the Kryloff Crownsteel,
like not willing to perhaps move too far away from it.
That is Sir Eldritch's turn for now.
The archer.
Tries to break free.
You can do it, bud.
Don't encourage him.
70, 18!
He's out.
Whole turn.
Whole turn breaks free.
My bad, sorry.
He will use his movement. He's no longer restrained. Get out of He's out. Whole turn, whole turn, breaks free. My bad, sorry. He will use his movement.
He's no longer restrained, get out of here you.
I'm free, I'm free.
You're free.
You will climb up here.
Dang it.
10, 15, 20, 25, 30, move over here.
But it's his fault he's used his action to break free.
That is a mess over there.
So many enemies, holy shit.
I wouldn't worry about it.
I would worry about it.
I'm worried, I was born worrying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's my secret cap.
I'm just trying to play it down.
But I'm worried.
The prophetess Aveline.
Aveline?
Aveline.
Aveline.
Prophetess.
What you thinking, girl?
What is she thinking? Girl? What is she thinking?
So she's not a priestess, she's a prophetess.
Prophetess, sorry, yes, high prophetess, sorry.
High prophet, Amalyn.
Oh, she's high too.
High prophet, Amalyn.
She will.
Crownsteel.
Oh, man.
She doesn't really want to hurt Eldrake,
but she can see you causing problems back there.
I'm not doing nothing.
She is, but Gruff is behind the Crownsteel.
Yeah, she doesn't really care about that.
She doesn't care about that.
That's it, destroy the Crownsteel.
Um...
She will...
This is the one that brought down the Fire Reign, right?
Yes.
She will in fact actually just move this way.
So she moves towards the middle of the map. So she moves towards the middle of the map.
She's moving towards the middle of the map and she will,
please Vessa, do not make us hurt you.
We do not wish you any harm, we wish to help you.
And she will slam her hand down on the ground
and appearing around Ser Eldrach and Gruff
and the crown still in the middle,
a glowing circle of golden runes will appear.
This feels fine. Oh, okay.
You feel the temperature increase dramatically
around you, Gruff, like you feel like the air
is hot and arid as these glowing runes appear all around you, Groff. Like you feel like the air is hot and arid
as these glowing runes appear all around you.
That is gonna be her turn for now.
I think I need to get out of that.
Maybe. Maybe.
I'm feeling, yeah.
Maybe.
Just a little bit.
Xanthias.
Hi there.
Oh, no, my apologies.
The captain, this guy over here.
Five.
Starts his turn on the moonbeam.
Does.
Concentration, constitution seven through.
That's gonna be a fail though, that's only a 12.
10, 13.
13 points of damage to him.
Hell yeah, get it, girl.
Kind of grunts as he's struck by it.
He will look back to the archer,
and as a bonus action, he will use Blessing of Steel
to give him some temporary hit points.
Eight temporary hit points to the archer.
Little shield, as he kind of calls out
and you watch as metal ribbons
seem to surround him like a shield.
And then he will simply move away from this moonbeam.
Ow.
Okay.
Oh, this is a tricky one.
Ophelia's just absolutely surrounded down here.
I mean, logically, he would come up here
to try and help fight against Ophelia.
You're gonna get a bit of cover against this, Ophelia,
but he is gonna try and swipe at you with his Swald.
Oh, righty.
And he does get to make two attacks now,
because he's using both of his actions.
Both of his attacks.
The first one is only gonna be a 11.
Misses.
Second one.
That is gonna be a 17.
You do get plus two from the cover, though.
So, yeah, still hits. Still hits, unfortunately, okay.
16, so half to eight slashing damage.
Alrighty.
He manages to get you on a second strike,
just nicking your arm as the sword chisels
against the stone columns of the tower.
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
As he moves up to you next to you then.
Then we would go to Zanzang.
Hi there, I am looking around this whole mess
of a battlefield and trying to figure out what to do.
Does, before we continue, the Crown Steel do anything?
The big amount, good.
Great, I want to, I'm on top of the tower,
the Ballista is secure, I could use it, I won't.
I want to fly down to Ophelia.
Okay.
Not grapple with Ophelia specifically,
I want to do a Thunder Step.
Yes, I figured you would.
Everything within five feet of me grappling with Ophelia.
I did know you could do this,
so that's why they all rushed up there,
but I didn't expect it to come.
So everyone takes a what saving throw?
They do a Constitution 14 saving throw.
I'm gonna get fan manned.
He does succeed.
Chosen.
Fails, I rolled a two.
Oh, on the Dark Souls box.
Grunt failed, and then the captain.
Also fails, only this one normal grunt succeeds.
Okay, the ones that succeed, I think they take half,
sorry, they take full damage.
The one who's, like, yes.
They succeed, they take half damage, yeah.
Which is 3d10 thunder damage.
Okay.
Aw, dope.
One, six, 12 damage.
12 damage total.
Four different enemies, which is cool, neat.
It's loud as fuck.
They know you're there now.
They know I'm here.
Yeah, half of them people that save, and I want to.
This one is dead.
Oh yeah.
That's good to know.
This guy only took half, so he takes six.
It's just a question of where do I take Ophelia and myself?
Away.
That's a great question.
How far can you go?
I can go 90.
Oh, 90, so you can pretty much go anywhere on this map.
You can go to the other side of the map.
How damaged are you?
I'm not too bad.
32 or 48.
Do you go help Rowan out?
Yeah.
There is a moonbeam there.
Do not go in the moonbeam.
Yeah, don't go in the moonbeam.
Don't go in the moonbeam. I made the mistake once. Yeah, take off these boots. There is a moonbeam there, do not go in the moonbeam. Yeah, don't go in the moonbeam. Don't go in the moonbeam.
I made the mistake once.
Yeah, don't do it again.
I'm gonna take us both to this little area here.
Okay.
There's quite a lot of cover from barrels and things.
It's where the barrel guy dropped his barrel.
I'm no longer flying.
I'm on the ground with them.
I'm not teleporting Ophelia into the air.
I'll leave you on the flying thing
just in case you want to fly later.
I won't be flying eventually, yes.
Well, you have movement now,
because you only used, if you flew down,
you only used 20 feet of your flying movement
to get to Ophelia.
That's true.
So you can use another 40 feet of movement if you want.
However, before you do anything, Tom,
would you like to add fate to a saving throw?
Oh, good point, good point.
Do it, do it.
Because I have moved closer. How did I forget this?
Add it.
I literally asked at the start of my GD turn.
Yes, I would, yeah.
You want to add a fate?
Yeah, I do, yeah. Add fate to this roll, please.
Hey, Rhee, can you tell me what the roll is when it comes up?
No.
I'm going to roll here.
Oh.
I've still got movement left. I've still got a bonus, actually.
Oh, he's handing pieces of paper to you.
Can you please pass that to Tom?
Oh-ho.
I have some of these say,
you succeeded on the saving throw by the way.
So you won't know which one he's got.
Do they also say, I love you Tommy Wommie?
No. Kiss, kiss.
I'm telling you by that face,
I don't think you've succeeded.
Okay.
Okay.
All right, me.
And obviously, we discussed some potential
roleplay effects, but yeah, you would be aware of
what this means.
Yeah, in that case, I'm not gonna use my movement.
I'd like to stay here behind the,
under cover of these barrels and walls and things.
I don't wanna fly up and be a very obvious target.
Sure, yeah, well I've got you flying there,
but just because I've got you glued to it
and I can't be bothered taking you off right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well I've got you flying there, but just because I've got you blue-fitting to it, and I can't be bothered taking you off right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, with that, if that's the end of your turn.
Yeah, my turn, yeah.
In that case, because it is already running
a little bit late, we will end things there.
We don't want to finish the round.
You've got one, two, three,
three more people need to take their turn.
I could, if you guys wanna go a little,
like for 10 more minutes.
Finish the round.
If you got 10 minutes, alright.
Alright, okay.
In that case, it is Rowan's turn.
Rowan casts Heroism at level two
and gets myself and Penelope.
Okay, great.
So it's some 10 HP, I believe.
Yep. Cool.
And you're immune to being frightened. It's going to be four 10 HP. 10 HP, great. So it's some temp HP, I believe. Yep. Cool. And you're immune to being frightened.
It's going to be four temp HPs.
Temp HP, nice.
For Penelope, I'm immune to being frightened,
but it's a little bit of a...
What did you just do?
He's bashed his elbow.
Bashed his elbow.
Bunny bone.
Is that the Crownsteel Corruption?
That was the Crownsteel Corruption.
That was the nice image.
So you're about five feet under the surface,
I would say, right now.
Mm-hmm.
Am I out of Opportunity Attack from them? surface, I would say, right now. Mm-hmm.
Am I out of Opportunity Attack from them? Yes, I would say just about.
In which case, I'm going to swim.
Remember, if you don't start in Penelope's aura,
you won't get that extra healing.
I'm gonna beckon Penelope.
Well, it's at the start of her turn,
if you're with her. How far,
how big's this radius? 10 feet.
So you can go a bit away.
Okay, yeah. Yeah. So you can go a bit away. Okay, yeah.
So you can swim a little bit away under the water.
Could you take her with you if she's willing?
Half movement?
Yeah, for half movement, yeah.
Yeah, I'll encourage, but I don't think she's gonna.
All right, you put her under an arm.
So you can move another 10 feet technically
and just take her with you.
Does mean they won't get poisoned, but.
Yeah, another healing was more important.
Alrighty, anything else on your turn?
That's just your movement and action.
Anything else?
No?
All right.
Chosen Nervous.
You think you can flee?
I'm not done with you and your useless guard.
Oh, he's gone out for a failure.
You really triggered him with that comment.
He's gonna dash.
They're just people, yeah?
He's triggered Tiny Dragon Man.
Hey.
He's gonna lie next to Barrel, guys.
Barrel.
Tiny Dragon Man.
That Tiny Dragon Man.
Your soul is bigger.
And my Crownsteel.
It is his day, it is his action to do that.
But he does have...
Oh, Snowbutty, you're in the same team as Tom.
No, he just flies over. That's it. It's gonna be a stem.
Good. Glad I went far enough away.
The Grunts.
Which one starts in a moonbeam?
This guy.
I will make the same move for him.
There's another one.
17, so he does succeed.
13 points of damage.
So half would be 6.
Which I think is actually because a bunch of these guys have taken damage.
Taken damage before.
He took poison damage and stuff.
Yeah, that's actually going to be enough.
Is that other guy as well?
No, because I actually had it on the two of them,
because it's only a 5 foot radius thing.
But yeah, you wipe one of these guys out.
Another moonbeam kill.
Yeah.
These guys, they're so terrifying.
Good.
But they also want to do their job.
This guy is gonna climb up.
Oh no.
Oh great, he's taking the Ballista.
I mean, does he know how to use it?
Yeah, he does.
It was left.
He's not the best at using it,
the Ballista crew are better at using it than he is.
This guy is gonna fight.
This guy being the captain.
Yeah, the captain, sorry.
The archer's not there.
Turn.
Have them join me in the gold AOE.
They want to go towards Eldrake.
They actually are idiots.
Not really.
What were you thinking?
Then they're going to use their final charge action
to dash.
Can they get to date?
Five, 10, 20, 25, 30.
Have they seen me yet?
You're not hidden,
because you used your bonus action to attack.
But I've still got cover.
You've got cover, but you're not hidden.
So they can't, everybody could see you at that point.
Once you used that second, once, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said that, you weren't hidden.
No, no, no, no, no, you're in cover, so you have cover.
If you're on your turn, you'd taken a bonus action to hide,
you wouldn't have been able to, but you attacked.
I misunderstood.
That's all right. But they're not all gonna come after you, only that one guy bonus action to hide, you wouldn't have been able to, but you attacked. I misunderstood. That's alright.
But they're not all going to come after you, only that one guy,
because the rest of them can't get in range.
This guy is going to move down here,
and this guy's going to come for Gruff.
Yeah, join me in the AOE.
Both of them going for Gruff, one after Daisy.
And then these two guys, yes.
And these two guys...
The ones next to the moonbeam,
and who were previously whacking on Rowan.
They are gonna come in.
Whacking on?
They're gonna come after you.
Oh, they're coming after us?
Yeah.
Cowards.
Yeah.
Right, so, a bunch of different attacks.
Gruff, you got two melee attacks coming in
and you've against you against from these grunts.
Two normal attacks.
Eight.
No.
Nine.
No.
Daisy.
21.
No.
That's only gonna be seven points of damage.
Okay.
And he's technically 10 feet, so he uses throwing axe.
It's like a, there is a throwing axe, ain't it?
Xanthius.
Hi.
22.
Yep.
Six points of damage.
Six, MI fly, concentration.
DC 10.
Nice.
25.
Nice.
Oh, do you like to use a reaction?
Sorry, how much damage?
Six.
Six. Great, done. Ophelia, that's a 22 to Sorry, how much damage? Six. Six.
Great, done.
Ophelia, that's a 22 to hit you as well.
Oh yeah.
Five.
Five, half to two.
Half to two.
Do you like to do a reaction?
I cannot.
Okay.
No?
Ballistae man.
Ballistae is gonna shoot at Sir Eldritch.
Yeah, he's just like.
Oh, he rend it in one turn.
And there's probably a thing of like,
we need to knock him unconscious,
like render him down, bring him down,
like as they're calling out.
He is not the best at this though,
he's not as good as the Ballista crew,
so he only gets a plus one.
With a 19 though, doesn't matter.
Oh!
Eldrax dead, that's it.
Not quite.
It was so quick.
Not with rolls like that.
16 points of damage to Eldrake.
If that was full damage, that would be real bad.
It would be real bad.
Imagine if I got a crit with it.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
You watch as the Ballista fires.
It slams into Ser Eldrake.
He dodges partly to the side,
ripping apart some of his armor,
and he just looks up in that direction.
But then the Ballista is gonna take some time to reload.
And with that, that is the end of the round.
Woo!
A complex one.
Gee, dude.
But we will continue on next week.
Still, you know, Lady Verithyr is still trapped.
If you can somehow get these control rods,
you might be able to free her and she might be able
to provide a lot of help.
This guy is right, wait.
Yeah, so both right there.
Yeah, that's what, both right there.
Yeah, they're both right there.
This is my next.
But that is it.
Thank you very much for joining us.
We will be back next week to maybe conclude this battle.
A very tense one.
It's doing well so far.
It's going well.
It's tasty.
Yes, yes, yes.
Well.
But we will see.
Yes, what may be affecting old Xanthias
is anything at all.
Yes.
Who knows?
He might be fine.
It just says poop, poop, butt, butts on here.
You don't know what the message is.
With that, thank you very much.
We love you guys.
Take care. Bye-bye. thank you very much. We love you guys, take care, bye bye.
See you next time!
