Our heroes are in the secret diadem basement of the Opal Lounge, facing off against Miss Peridow, glitter and the rest of their allies in a desperate and quite close quarters fight. Meanwhile, Vrix and Rowan have found

a secret entrance at the back of the Opel Lounge, but in investigating it have been attacked by what they thought was just a drunken vagrant that turned out to be one of the diodemes guards who has been sent off by a dissonant whispers, but will soon return to try and stop them getting access to it. We jump in at the top of a brand new round, and that means it is Peridot's turn who's currently affected by the Confucian spell. Confucian, which means I roll a D-10 to see what actions.

Yeah, can you roll a 9 or a 10 for me? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'd really like it if you did, though. I know you would. I know you would. Actually, you know what, this is for you. Yeah, thank you. Nine or 10, please. Nine. Oh my god.

What is wrong with you? Why are you just fucking... My boy, my lovely sweet boy. Oh, you are so good to mother. You are so good to mother. I'm far too honest and generous from way of doing. That's my biggest weakness is my generosity. You are, your generosity.

Oh, so good. I didn't, I was just like, man, I'm just gonna not do anything this time. Oh, brilliant. What's a quick rundown on the battle map so far? So as a quick rundown, we have everybody crammed into this quite tight, secret lounge. Gruff and Xanthias have stood next to each other

with quite a sadistic glitter, this golden-skinned tifling. Previously just looked like a waitress, but now is fully in murder mode. Ophelia is just on the other side of her next to Ms. Peridow, who is also next to Agent Darling and a guard who are currently fighting each other, basically.

Meanwhile, we have a number of characters. Daisy has moved further into the room closer to Peridot's office. We then also have Farrier, Alejandro, the Bard agent of the diadem, and a guard making their way in from upstairs as well, whilst Ricks and Rowan are on the outside. But thankfully, Peridot seems to shake off whatever spell Zanthius has cast on them and seems to basically gather her senses. Well, not permanently. No, not permanently. So I can do a completely normal turn.

Target chooses its behaviour. Okay, so bonus action, disengage. Five, ten. Well, it says they can't take bonus actions or reactions. Oh, okay. So they can still do their action. Okay, so she can't bonus action disengage then. That changes things.

Yeah, I think it's just you just choose your behavior. Aside from that. She seems to snap out of it, and as a free action, we'll yell, Glitter, stop playing with the sister. Kill the healer, kill gruff. And then we'll point, uh, uh, uh, she can't. bonus action to reload, because she can't use her bonus section of reload either.

So she will, just with this poison blade that she's got equipped, I think she will go for Ophelia instead. Nice. Because, and she will make three texts with her dagger. That is a 27 to hit. Yeah. That is going to be, ooh. 17 piercing, so 16 goes to 8, plus 10 poison damage.

10 poison damage, first attack, second attack against Ophelia. Keep it coming down, keep it down. That is gonna miss, only a 12. Okay. Last one, so close from that, 28. Yep. And this is gonna be, that's only gonna be 10 points of piercing, so half to five, and then poison.

14 poison damage. Amazing. So she just swipes in a flurry, trying to deal with you, directing glitter to attack gruff, Still somewhat, somewhat confused by this spell that Xanthius has going on. We'll not move because she doesn't want to provoke any opportunity attacks right now. So at the end of her turn, we'll make a saving throw against your effect. Yes, wisdom, a million.

Your DC is 17. It's a million? No, it's 17, yeah. 17. I'm going to spend a point of fate to use her fated villain to add a D6 to that. That's going to be a success. Damn it. 19. Okay. So she shakes off the confulsion, but did deny her at least a bonus section for a turn.

Could have potentially done more. But with that, that is the end of Peridot's turn. Great. After Peridot, it is somebody else's turn. Xanthius. Yes. You see a red dragonborn. I think they're going to come in on this other side,

so they don't get involved with Darling and in the guard. And you see them, he does not know who you are because he does not recognize you, you are disguised, that's true. That's true.

He is also disguised, but does see all of you fighting, sees his boss, the people that he works for fighting. And you can definitely see that there's this kind of look of not quite sure what's going on, not sure what's happening,

but knows that he has to get involved and he pulls off his leather gauntlets that he's wearing. And you now see, embedded into his forearms and palms, almost as if he brought them up to shield himself from an explosion. You see smaller, not quite as big as Enthius, it's much, much, much smaller,

that multiple small shards of crown steel embedded into his forearms. And he is going to look towards Gruff, because I believe Gruff, you now have metal plate armor. I know your artwork has got hide armor. but I'm pretty sure you've got plate armor. So masterwork half plate. Yes. So he sees you wearing that metal armor

and he is going to gesture and he casts heat metal and your armor begins to glow red hot and you begin to see like cracks and veins of gold and red and black begin to spread over it like it is almost becoming crown store. It's nice.

It seems to be like channeling some sort of magic. With huge, heat metal. How does that work? Because I've got the armor of oaken thorns up over my chest. The armor of oaken thorn is just like magical. But no, I mean visually like it glows through the branches as well. It would be this like sinister glow from within.

Maybe it's almost like burning branches away. Could be. Can I taste the purity of that crown stones? I don't need to. I think I know exactly how pure it is. Exactly as pure as the one in your chest. Yeah. So any creature in physical contact with the object

is going to take fire damage when he casts a spell. and then he can take a bonus action on each turn to repeat the damage again. Because you cannot drop it and half plate takes like 10 minutes to take off, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks and basically every time he uses this. Okay.

So you're gonna take, that is gonna be 12 points of fire damage. As he, I've got this one boss, and he kind of launches this at you. That is gonna be it for his turn. I don't like your friends, Antheis. And then we turn to glitter. Glitter's turn. Glitter kind of snarls in Peridot's direction.

Fine. Sorry. Got to do what the boss says, and then just goes to stab gruff up, basically. As a bonus action, she will reload her gun. So she basically flicks this thing and you watch as these crystal kind of compartments, begin to glow as it reloads, and then she is gonna shoot you.

Bang, Lamow, bang. Go to shoot you a lot. I'm gonna shoot you a lot. She really is. That is gonna be a 21. Meets it. Meets it beats it. So first one is gonna do damage.

It's gonna be 12 points of piercing damage. And 11 points of poison damage. point of poison half to five. Second shot. That might not hit, only an 18, so it doesn't hit. Thanks to the armor of oaken thorn. And then third attack, that is going to hit 22. Piercing damage first. So that is going to be 10 points of piercing damage. And then, oh, really shit, that's only seven poison, so three, three poison. Two. You say twat?

Yeah, why not? Cool. How are you looking? Ah, I had better days. Yeah, I had worse? Yeah, I think she is gonna take it. Just when everyone goes through the heelie, you know? Yeah. That's it's gonna be the end of Glitters' turn.

God, it's a mess in this race. Yeah, it is a hot mess. It's so hard to track as well. I'm doing my best. Ophelia, who's next. Oh, I'm torn between two decisions. Um, I think... Oh, Graff's getting wailed on. I'm going to step in to defend gruff.

Just, yeah, follow Glitter and attack her from behind. Okay, well, luckily, Peridot cannot... I know she's saved, so Peridot will get an opportunity attack. Oh, do you want to just turn around? I just turn around. Yeah, because she's in my range still. Yeah, perfect. Yep. Nice, and I'm going to use my fanged bite again.

So I have advantage, because I have less than half my health points again. Uh, that's not gonna hit four and a two on both of those. Does not hit, I'm afraid. So second strike, told you. Later. Oh, but you taste so good. Oh, no, no. Natsal 20.

Oh, with a cool line as well. That's how it works. If you do the cool line, you get the next guarantee. It's how it works every time. So the plan was, I'm good. It says D4 max and I was going to use a D6 of blood points as well. Points, please.

Plus it, that's max. That's 10. And then another six, 16 with the rage burners, 18 maxed. 18, yeah, and then you add the best. Then roll again. Six on the D6, so 20, 24, 24, 26, 27. 27.

27 points of damage to glitter. As you kind of sink your fangs into her. And then she's... And as at the end of your turn, if you're done. I'm done. I'm gonna spend a point of fate and get to do her little or free attack and she's just going to point the gun behind her in just trying. Which I think will hit that is going to be 22.

That hits. Yeah. That is going to be 14, no, 13 points of piercing damage so half to six. Six, yep. And then poison damage is 17 points of poison damage. Perfect, thank you. Kind of shoots behind her as you like sink your teeth in. Awesome.

Can I hellish rebuke that as a reaction? Yes, you absolutely can. Oh, fire. My turn. Yeah, absolutely. So Dexterity's saving throw? Sixthes. These two are kind of cute together. Half damage. Half damage. She is a typhling, so she has resistance as well.

So that is ten. Half again is five, because she's a Tflame, so. Tickling, quite warming, I must say. And so that was Aphelia's turn. we then go to Rowan's turn. Well, where is Rowan? Rowan is currently still in the alleyway. This guard has run off.

It's 30 feet away from you at the end. Vricks has charged up, basically. It's actually technically 40 feet away from you because it got shoved. Vricks has run up and is like engaged in combat with that thing with this guard. You can see the outline of the secret door. You know where it is,

but you've just been unable to find sort of any mechanism to open. It's going to large form and charge the thing down. Okay. It is a stone wall. I'm just telling you now. Yeah, but this is large form, Rowan. I mean, I will say...

I've seen him push a bellarmouth off of. Yeah, I'll give you advantage on the strength check. It'll be, let's say, athletics with advantage. It's going to need to be high. They're all to 17. I think it's plus 3. So 20. 20. I will say what you do is you throw your enlarged form against it,

and you definitely shift something. Like you feel like a crack, you feel like the secret door, like definitely you make an impact. Help me. Ah! Yes, brute force. Excellent. Hurt this wall. Very well. This one is weak anyway.

But yeah, you have definitely, I'd say that, Basically, you've probably done about half of what you needed to there, to like break through it, basically. Come on, bricks. But like that, this is like a solid stone wall. It's only, you're really kind of like trying to break the mechanism to like break, open it, basically. Anything else on your turn, that was your action?

I will, Bardock inspired bricks this time. Oh, perfect, great. I will make a notes, they have Bardic. And your Bardick is a D10? It is, yes. D10, perfect. Gruff this time, we make sure we don't forget Gruff. So, can you just tell me, because I can

I can't quite see. Next to Darling. There is a guard. There's Peridot, a guard. And then Farrier is like a five foot space next to that other guard. So he's tucked kind of next to the door. Yeah, he's like here. Oh, that one, okay, right.

He's here. I'm really, sorry, Antius, but I need to stop your friend from doing this. Oh, no. I am going to cast Tidal Wave in a way, to hit Random Guard A and Farrier. You will hit Ophelia with that. It's 30 foot long, 10 foot wide, and it's some of points that I choose.

So I can angle it. It should be just straight from you, but yeah. Well, Serran can fly and she flies in the line. You're gonna start it here and then do it like that basically. Is there anyone else that I can't get glitter, can I? No. There's no way I can get that angle. No. Okay, then I'm going to do that.

Can you please make a deck save 16? Next save for the guard is a failure, and for the Farrier is, ooh. I don't think he's super dexterous. 15, so. 10, 11, 12, 13. Points of splash damage. Let's call it bludgeoning. It is bludgeoning. It's 15 fail as well.

Sorry, 15, fell, so it's Dex 16. Oh, so Farrier also failed. You failed. Okay. Both one failed. and they both get knocked prone and pushed. So they'll hopefully hit the wall. Yeah, I'm gonna say like the secret door is kind of like half open

so I'm not gonna say it's pushing him all the way out. Darling will basically go. Do they knock prone or just push back? Prone. It is. They are knocked prone and either pushed or pulled along the length of the areas so I want to have pushed them into the wall. I will do a concentration check for Farrier. Do they get extra damage for hitting the wall?

Um, yeah, go on then. Roll a D6, extra D6 for me. What's a D6? I'll apply to both of them. DOS. Two. Um, so, 15 damage. It's still gonna be DC 10 for Farriot. Just 11. Literally, I had to check that because I didn't know if he had what his con save was.

Yeah, he just manages to hold concentration. Like, oh, I just, kind of get slammed up against the wall. The guard goes flying as well. But yeah, unfortunately, he just manages to hold concentration. I wish to do a healing word? I can't do, can I do a healing word? No, you just cast a tiny word. In which case, I shall roar again.

It's more a roar of pain, but I will flavor it as a daunting roar. Towards. It has to be 10 feet around. So it's still just glitter. 16 whiz. 16. That's 16. Boo.

Just. Meets it, beats it. Beats it. As in beats the same? As in like she got 16 so she saves. Yeah. Yeah. You can see that like she is very clearly unhinged,

but also all of these dynam agents seem very devoted to their cause. So any kind of like frightening or charming effects, they have advantage on saves against basically. They're like fanatics. That was Gruff's turn. Excuse me. So we go to, that is 17. The Tidal Wave doesn't affect the door to

doesn't it? Would it push the door? I guess it depends on. Because of the force of the tidal wave. To what end are you hoping to close it? They can just open it. They know how to open it. It would buy maybe a little bonus action or an action.

It depends on how it opens as well. Like you've got it opening in the middle there. Yeah, I think it does like swing in the middle, so the tidal wave wouldn't do anything to it. Just spins around. Yeah. I mean, even though it just splits the tidal wave. No, I mean, it just spins around like one of those ways. Sure.

Spinny doors. Yeah. We're just watching it, hoping it will end on closed, but she keeps going all the way right. Daisy. Hello. Don't want to make a mistake of missing anybody. Daisy, your time.

I think I'm just gonna steady aim again and try and hit glitter this time. Okay. With just a straight up shot. Straight up shot in it. 19. 19 more hit. Great.

31 points of damage. Ooh, yeah. A little one packs a punch. And she's very bloodied at this point, nice. Uh, no, I think I will just in Daisy Chain be like, Rowan, are you okay? I'm trying to get there as fast as I can. Are you all okay?

We're in the room in the basement, Rowan. Okay. There's a lot of people coming down here. Oh no. I'm sorry. We're coming as fast as we can. Okay. Bricks.

Alejandro, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Not quite at the door, or he's got line of sight. No, but he can't, he will, bonus action dash five, kind of seeing what's going on here, stand over this unconscious guard. Oh, it's the unconscious now?

No, sorry, knocked prone. Oh, sorry, knocked on guard. He will look around, seeing that glitter is looking pretty nasty. No. No. You will, healing words. They're not allowed to do that.

Yeah, they are. That's right, it's healing words. Yes, they are. That's a high-level healing word. It's a higher level healing word. It's a higher level-level 75 healing words. 75?

Yeah. We don't, this guy is. He's legit. 75th. Circle of magic. Oh, my fucking mess, man. Pick up some healing. I will.

Good. I can only heal myself. Exactly. Pride for my nature. You can heal someone once. I can protect. Can you? I can attack.

Yeah, you can do that. He looks over, he's like, get yourself together, and strums in his loot and you see her wounds heal and knit back together. But that is gonna be his whole turn. After Alejandro, Ricks. Here we go.

Ricks. I've warmed it up for you. Doesn't have to worry about an attack opportunity because this guy got pushed away, looks around, stand clear, Ron. Oh, it's a full runner. Loads the horn, the reforged horn, and charges into this wall.

30 foot movement and then basically tries to break down the wall. Yes. Has a D10 on top from Bardick. Nice. Here we go. Oh, Virix. It's gonna be.

Vrix. Vricks. 24. You watch as as Rix comes up to it, thanks to, Only because Rowan managed to weaken it. You just hear this push as Rick's full-on Kool-Aids man through the war. She just smashes through it.

I am going to make her do a dexterity saving throw because Rowan, you immediately see that it is a set of stairs level down. That's okay, the charge continues. Yes. Just gains momentum. Stone. What's your passive perception? 19.

The fight going on around you. I would say Daisy and Gruff, you do hear a faint something coming from the back wall direction. Back wall. Yeah. Poor Bricks. A nine. Bricks smashes through and immediately falls down the stairs.

Yes, Bricks. Free movement. Free movement. Well then lands prone. So we'll cost her movement in the future. And she does take five points of damage. Oh, five. What's that like? It's all right. She'll get shot in a minute as well.

But yeah, you hear like this kind of, you know, tumbling. It does sound like I'm not going to have it fall the hallway down the stairs, but she definitely trips and it manages to write herself. But you look down, and it's easily like a 30-foot staircase going down, basically. It's got straight down there. Yeah, it's kind of a very steep, narrow. That's the whole turn away. You being large form, you are going to have to squeeze through it.

Like, it's a very tight little passageway, basically. But, and Vrix is like taking up the whole space with her form as well. Just another classic Vrix and Rowan moment. Fricks and Rowan escapade. Zantheus. Hi. Hi. Hi there.

You've got one that says kill everybody. Yeah, I'm looking for my kill all spell. Oh, it's at the back. It's at the back. It's never where you leave it. The fuck, I don't think I have fireball? That's so odd. Why don't you have fireball?

Where'd Fireball go? That's devastating. I don't think you've ever unprepared Fireball. Also, you have it through your crown steel mutation, so you definitely have it. You have it. What? Is there just one of those things where it's not,

like, so because it through crown steel, is it somewhere else? You might have unprepared it as a spell. Accidentally, because I don't think you've ever unprepared for it, ever. Okay, um, well, even if I did. Do it, coward. If I do.

No. Oh yeah? Maybe I will. Um, not gonna be careful. I'm not gonna be careful. Sure. I'm not picking Daisy. Sure, go for it. Has this guard at the back of the stairs?

Has he been marching down at all? Is he still way at the back? As far as you don't know, you can't even see he's there. Yeah, yeah. So if I did cast a fireball in the middle of this mess, the range of it is... 20 foot radius. 20 foot radius, which is the entire room.

An unbelievable amount of people. It is the entire... 5, 10, 15, 20. I'm trying to see if I can get it just to just glitter and then the rest of the room. Then I need to do careful to do, so I can cast it basically on the door, right? If you place it, yeah, right at the door,

you can avoid you and gruff and busy. You could be careful for Ophelia and Darling. They're the only allies in there. Well, and Farrier if you potentially want to. I'm going to use Careful on Farrier as well. Nice. Oh, God. But first, I would like to take off my mask on having a face.

Yeah. So you have to do this in the Mission Impossible way. It's like that, d-d-d-d-ch, and you, it's like... It was me all along! Yeah, exactly. I'm gonna fight you, I'm fighting you as me. Like, Farrier kind of like is stumbling off the ground. He hasn't quite, like, seen you because he was like knocked prone.

He's trying to concentrate on this spell. But- Barrier, stand down, Farrier. As you caught, he sees you and looks over. And I think there is this, you see this look of like, shock, surprise, anger, joy, this range of emotions comes over this young man. And then he's just like, what are you doing here, you idiot?

You remember you brought me here? Um, each creature. When a 20-foot radius makes a dexterity saving throw, a dexterity save of... Succeeds. It's 25. Still takes half, I think. We'll take half.

She is resistant to fire, though, because she's attack. Oh, yeah! Peridot. Perido succeeds. Takes no damage because she has evasion. These are very roguy people. Guard, fails. With a 14.

Alejandro. 16, 17. And that's it. Glitter and Alahandre take half. Can you move? Periddo takes none. Okay. 86 normally for a level three.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I'm going to load up. Oh, I've got fucking five-level guys. I've got eight. I've got them for you. I literally bought them for these purposes. Wheehooee! Six, eleven, thirteen, fifteen, fifteen.

16, 17, 20, 22. 22. So, 11 to... So, guard takes 22. He failed. Alejandro takes 11. So many things. Yep, sorry.

No, it's my fault making the encounter this way. Perido takes nothing. Farrier takes nothing. Glitter then takes half of 11 again because the resistance says she takes five. Oh my God. Five, that's rough. And again, as a bonus action,

I will burn a sorcery point for even more runes. I'm getting my self-protect up before I do my self-attack. Self-attack, I love it. End of ten? That is the... I think I just need to move away from Twitter. Well, the Cluel doesn't really care about me right now.

Not right now. She's got a gruff to kill. Oh, if you move away, she'll take a free time. I'll stay right here. I can't protect you if I'm dead. Ask your friend to stop burning me. I just don't stand down. End of turn.

Okay, this guard is elite-looking guard leader. 5.5.30, and then we'll dash. 5, 10, 50. Yeah, we'll stand there next to darling. Cannot take action. It has had to dash to get there. Great. Yeah, and that is it.

However, you do see that this guard looks down at some of the other agents just like, all right, form up. Let's you like tactics, and you can see that is providing tactics to those around us. Not a tactical officer. Oh. They seem to be coordinating their allies' attacks and defenses.

Sort of like, right, you move. Ms. Peridow, I've got this, blah, blah, blah. Like, I'll deal with this one, and it's chowing out commands. Basically gives some sort of bonus to people within a certain radius around them. I'm not going to tell you what just yet. I love that as a subclass. That sounds like a really cool idea. This guard is going to stand up.

How is he still alive? He looks bad. He looks real bad. He's not taken that much direct damage, but he's taken lots of little bits of damage. He will move through, step through here, next to Peridot, and he's gonna try and wail on Agent Darling. Two attempts, a whale in view.

The first one misses, second one hits. It's cocked. Oh, that's terrible. It's only gonna be five points of damage. Oh no, sorry, just gonna be extra DA of damage on there. It's 13 points of damage. So you see he runs up, slashes with his sword, seems to be a lot more coordinated.

Oh, I should have brought that with advantage, doesn't matter. You see he moves up, but that is the regular guard's turn. Top of the round. Yes. Oh my gosh. Top of the round, Peridot, who is no longer confused, has her bonus action reactions and everything back, will bonus action disengage.

Oh, no. But now has quite a lot of enemies allies around and to here. Where's here? Sorry, at the far end of the room behind Xanthius and Gruff. And we'll look over towards Daisy. Does not like you doing all that damage to glitter. As much as she wants to take out Gruff and stop the... Although actually if I take down Gruff,

Gruff's the more important target with the healing at the moment. Um... What if I said I was out of spell slots? You're not. I know you're not. Can you make a roll and insert roll into that? Nope. Don't need to. Help is on the way dear.

Help is on. He's just gonna stand on me. He's gonna open that door into my back. I think she actually take the movement to that she kind of kicks this table. I don't know where it ends up. And then we'll stab gruff three times. Oh good. Good night.

Has advantage, is the coordination. We'll see. 27 to hit. Yeah. Advantage because of coordination. Okay. That is going to be 10 points of piercing damage. 12, half to six poison.

First attack. Keep going. Ooh, even with the advantage. Oh, no, sorry, I misread that dice. That is going to be 24. 17 piercing. 17, so half to eight poison. Keep going.

And then final attack. That is gonna be 21. Yep. Just. Just, yeah, just got him on that one. 11 points of piercing. 15, so half to seven poison. So rough goes down. Right, one problem dealt with.

Next, right, now you and looks towards Daisy. That is gonna be the full of Peridot's turn, however. You already taught the hatchball team everything you know, right? No. She actually went quite bad. I taught them nothing. I taught them nothing. Farrier and next.

I think just no longer concentrates on concentrates on email and is just looking, like looks towards you. You got out. Why did you come back? You got out of here. We are not fighting you, Farrier. You don't have to be in this mess.

Who have? What do you think I'm doing here? Of course I have to be. You think I would be here If I wanted to, well, I can get you out of here then. And you just see that he's just stunned. Like, he does not know what to do in this situation. He's like turning, looking between the two of you.

I think he just is like completely like does not know what to do. So he's just not going to do anything on his time. Sweet. That works. He takes the dodge action. He's just like, and he's like, he's looking at his arms. He's looking at you. He's looking at what's happening.

He's like looking at the Diodem agent. but you can see that a million thoughts are running through his head and does not know what to do. It's not cooking my corpse. That's nice. That's good. Yeah, I think that just the shock of seeing Xanthias has ended his concentration, basically. Rattles, too.

I think, is he still hitting my metal? Does that not stop? It's on the armour. Just choose to bonus action, keep doing it. Still banning, 5.5. Glitter. Glitter is going to. She has two shots left on her.

done, Daisy hurt for a lot. She's going to fire at least two shots towards Daisy. Yeah. Where's my glitter sheet? Bacinations. No, she can't do everything. Yeah, she'll take two shots with her pistol. I can.

Towards Daisy. She has advantage because of the assistance. 20. That is going to be, uh, 16 piercing, 10. poison. So 26 total. And second shot, that is going to be a 23 to hit for 14 piercing, and only five poison damage on that second one. And then as she's out of bullets, she will try and stab her philia with her deck. Nice. With advantage. I think that's going to

miss that, only a 12. Yeah, so you managed to parry it maybe with one of your own as she kind of turns back to right now we can get back to having fun um hmm how is Ophelia's it's not right not bad not bad you got like a big heel from all those yeah have you been marking off in power bites because you only have a certain number of uses right how bites I don't that that's what the heel is when you do the healing from the bite it's normally proficiency bonus that's glitter so it will be Phelian next it'll be under your feet I'm pretty sure it's proficiency bonus uses I've been marking them on my sheet.

I've used four. And I think four is my proficiency. I believe. Then I think you are out of empowered bites. Yeah, that makes sense. Yep. Yeah. All right, so you'll turn, Ophelia.

Hello. And it'll be ruined, then Gruff. Okay. Ophelia is going to drop her rage, seeing that Gruff goes down. And she is going to run past Glitter to Gruff and cast spare the dying on Gruff. So you're going to...

So move here. Yeah, I'll be next to Glitter, but not... Yeah, so you don't... Open opportunity attack. Yeah. Yeah, you can't spare the dime. You can't have you falling down now, Gruff.

Come on. Right. Gruff, you're no longer need to make saving throws. So Gruff is now stabilized. Stabilized, but not conscious. Yeah, you're not conscious. Yeah, you're still out, basically. Yeah, perfect.

Well, that's your turn, Phelia. That's my whole turn. I'm gonna be a real bitch. Go for it. I'm gonna spend my last point of fate for Glitter to take her turn. No, no, no, don't spoil the fun. Plunges her knife down into Groff. Mm-hmm.

Oh, God. Will you two please stop making it out over my body? Sorry. She hits, she does enough damage to basically put you back on death saving throws. That's all it does. So basically because you're stable, it just basically, you're now making death saving throws again. Fine.

This is an emotional roller coaster. Huh? It doesn't add more. No, because I think, because you're stabilized it, like resets and then the attack. Yeah. Basically puts you down to negative, basically. So, yeah. But basically, it's just like, stop spoiling the fun.

Sorry, I can't continue. if my friend is down. Oh, wow, that's a terrible shame. Rough is just trying to choke himself to death on his own time. Rix is in front of me. Yeah. As I run down, I'm going to... It's about 30 foot, but you are like tight in if you're in large form.

Yeah. Is it going to restrict my movement going down? I think I'm going to have to de large form. We can do if it's free action. Yeah, and go to Ricks. Help Ricks up. You want to help Fricks up? Well, because they're in the way.

You could, I'd say like, it's enough that you can like clamber over Fricks if you're desperate to get to the bottom as quickly as possible. And I'll be saying, are you okay, Bricks, of course, stand up, as I run. As fast as I can. 30 feet down the stairs, you clamber over Bricks, Vrix's like, go, I'm fine, go. Okay. You do not remember my folly. Do not remember my folly.

When you get to the bottom, you can see that on the inside, as a safety mechanism, that on the inside of these, there's, you arrive at basically, like a stone, the interior of a secret door, basically. But there are switches on either side because obviously you need a way to open them from the inside should you need to. Yeah, you get to the bottom. I'm assuming you slap on.

Can I have bonus action that? I'd say you can just do that as part of the moving down. That would be, yeah, I'd say bonus action. Cool. You slam that, and what happens is the fireplace here at the back. Oh. It begins to... There's no fire in it, but it begins to open.

and a sort of just big enough for a medium-sized creature slides up and you see Rowan that you now look into this room from the fireplace. Hi! As I say hi, mass healing word. Oh, nice, nice. That five D four. That high had really hit me in the right places, you know.

I feel my bones rattling. So soon, how many dice do you need? Yeah. 15 points. Wow. Wee. Two, six creatures, so you guys. Okay.

Thank you all. And that's... And bricks. And bricks. I don't think Fricks is... Bricks took five hit points. Like, from falling down. So, go do...

. Darling as well. Darling? Yeah. Darling's not taken much, but yeah, she's fine. Well, that's four, five, six, isn't it? Yeah. Okay, perfect.

That is going to be your full turn. That's my full turn. I'm here in the fireplace. You made it. Here's in the fire force. You made it. Mass healing words of bonus action, right? Oh.

We'll make it so that activating the secret door was an action. You used your action to open the secret door and then bonus action massing door. Yes, if that's all right. Yep, it's fine. Gruff. You are conscious, just barely. Um, I will activate.

I feel like it's that kind of like, yeah, Rowan comes in. He heals. And as the smote's kind of settle down, you see the armor re-form, like the branches regrow over Gruff's chest. What am I going to do? I thought I was going to die. So I'll be you darling next, then Daisy. I am going to cast a big old moonbeam. No. Am I? I've got 15 HP. I shouldn't be too cocky. They're just going to stab me again. But Gruff would think of other people and not himself.

Do what you want? Big old moonbeam. On the cluster by the door, avoiding Darling if I can. Nice. I don't know if you are going to be able to avoid. You can hit two of them and avoid darling. I'm assuming you're trying to not hit Farrier as well. Where is Bruff?

Where are you, Gruff is down. I'm under Thurdo. Do you stand up, by the way? Not yet. Okay. So you can either hit the more elite-looking guard an Alejandro or the weakened looking guard in Alejandro, but you cannot hit all three of them, I don't think.

Yeah. Not without touching, darling. Well, there's also, um, glimmer, glitter. No, I can't quite get her, right? Okay, I... You could, but you would only hit this other weakened guard. You'd be putting it right in the middle here. Oh, so I can get glitter and the guard?

Yeah. What save do they have to make? Um, decks. Uh. No, con, 16. Oh. I haven't seen that stat yet. Oh.

Let's do that. So Glitter and the Guard? Yeah. So basic, I know a great con. Yeah, I know where that's going. Okay. That does remain in place as well. Tiny creatures moving through it, so I will place it in a minute.

Glitter, Constitution, saving. That is a 20. God, there. The guard fails. Okay. It's half damage. I'm going to... 14.

14.15. 23. 23. 23. Radiant. half. The guard takes four. And the guard is dead. Beamed. Beamed. Beamed. Get the beamed. Glend looks really rough though.

This guard is incinerated by the radiant light. I'm just going to remove him so that we have less things to confuse everybody. You see her like, ah. I will slowly stand up every joint popping as I do so. You stand up where we can. I feel like Peridot just, sees this claw, like heavy claw, just like, boomf, on the table she's standing on.

Mm-hmm. And then he just very slowly rises up. Well, that's irritating. You sound like my wife. She kind of like looks back towards Ryan. I thought he ran. Miscalculated, it seems. Gruff end of your turn.

Yes, and her stats fanciest I cast that at fourth level. So Peridot is on the table. wasn't running towards the fireplace then. You don't know? We don't know where she was going. I don't know where she was going. Definitely didn't go to the fireplace, so. Well, there's a big old yacht.

But also wanted to try and take our gruff. Darling is going to... Looks over is like, oh, great, I don't need to heal you. Like, looking over towards gruff. He's so bloody, though. Yeah, but you're up, so it's fine. So she will turn around and... Don't touch the light.

Oh, yeah, I'm not intending. to, I'm gonna punch this bard in the face. And I think she picks up the chair behind her and swings it around to him. She's gonna use another distracting strike. That is, where is Alejandra? I think he's quite nimble as well. Han, not hear that song.

The first swing of the chair seems to crash, and he's kind of got like a mage armor around him and it deflects basically. Second attack. Have we seen a Will save, a system safe from Peridale? Yes. That's what... Confucius has, yeah. They've saved against...

And she does have the ability to spend fate, potentially, to boost it on that having, apparently. The wisdom... It's definitely worse than their dexterity. Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately, Darling, like, tries to pummel this guy. They've rolled really shit. Um, really bad. So, darling's go.

Daze. Steady aim. I'm going to hit glitter. I'm going to try and hit glitter. Yeah, she's looking pretty rough. I'm probably not going to hit glitter. I only rolled at 16, even with advance. 16 just misses her. Like she almost senses it's coming.

And you can see this animalistic like panic beginning to set in and like her reflexes, like she quickly launches herself to the side. Did she take half damage on the moonbeam? She hasn't take, yeah, she took half damage. Yeah, and she hasn't taken a turn yet, so. But when she starts her turn, she'll have to make a saving through.

I think they may have changed it. If it's, I don't know if it's start or end of turn. I think it's the start of your turn. Is it the start of your turn? If you're in there at the start of your turn. When it's cast and then start. When it enters or when it ends, Ends.

Enti, that's why I wanted to check. When it ends is it. Yeah, they changed it. Because it was being used to double stack on like, villain, enemies and stuff. Okay, so, unfortunately, yeah, the arrow misses, Daisy. Yeah, unfortunately when. Having one attack is real.

But it's also like, it's, normally you hit, but these guys are very, very high, you know, good AC. So we then go to Ale Alejandro. Oh, yeah. He, now he can fully take it. his full turn. He can fully fuck off. I don't respect.

You tell him. As a, hmm, he will begin to play a beguiling song, which is a 20-foot radius and he chooses the creatures within it. So I'm going to do, so how many, I can get the most of you if I do it here and ignore, darling. So all of you guys need to give me a wisdom so much. Oh, shit. Oh, interesting. I'd like to fake this, please.

I'm going to give myself. Say, please. Yeah. Give me some feedback, thanks. I'm giving me luck instead. Yeah, that's fine. Luck is good. Please.

Oh. What is? I don't feel cold. Listen to my song. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Start singing, crooning. Alejandro, Alejandro.

Aless. 17 is a success. Is it? Oh, is it? Oh, I got 17 as well. Success. You're going to take half damage. Half damage, but.

21. Success. Success. I succeed with 21. Success. 40? It's a failure. Yeah.

Ophelia, you are going to take full damage and you are charmed by Alejandra until the end, until the start. That's a lovely. That's a lovely. No, not against a wisdom saving throw, I don't believe. One of the problems with it. Can't harm the charmed, okay, that's fair. 20 psychic damage to Ophelia, the rest of you take 10 psychic damage.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. As this song worms its way into your minds. And then as a bonus action, he is going to give Peridot effectively a kind of minor bardic inspiration and give her advantage on her next attack role. That's minor. So concentration check for me? Yes, please, yeah, DC 10. That's a more powerful inspiration.

18. No, it's not. Advantage isn't as good as like adding a flat number to it. Really? I don't think so. And my head is. He also gets extra benefits from it. Okay, 18.

Moonbeam is still up. Perfect, okay, so that was Alejandro. It's just a mean thing. Bricks. Bricks. Bricks. 15 feet of movement. 15 feet to get in. Oh, could she get to Peridona?

No, that is literally her full movement to get to where Rowan is, because she was prone, she has to stand up and then use the rest of her. May I introduce to you our security detail, Briggs. I will kill you. Amazing. I think she's like so pent up because she just can't fight anything. There's a hellburn of range.

Oh she does have reach. It does have reach. Which is just enough to hit Peridot. Steady Stebbie. Yes. There's so many pieces of paper back here. Dicex Perdo in one. She will use an inspiring strike.

Allies within 30 feet gain advantage on the next. So this is pretty good. All of the game on the next. the next D20 roll you make, so it could be an attack, a saving throw. So it depends on what it is, but the next time you roll a D20, you have advantage. Incredible.

And she gets to make an attack with a Talbot. The first attack misses, unfortunately. Second attack also misses, poor. I rolled a three and then a four. She gets fired herself. No, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. But just the presence, like she bursts in, swipes at Perido's like, what the fuck?

I'm just like, what the hell? A dynasty, and what's that doing here? We didn't have any intel on them, But yeah, unfortunately doesn't have intel. We did it. We beat them! We hid something from someone. We got sneaky!

Because you left Ricks in the inn, basically. Yeah! And Ricks never made it to the academia to help Zanthias. Oh yeah. They might not know about Mateo. They might not. They have... They have to come in.

Frix. Zanthias. Know what has happened to you, Faria. It happened to me as well. You know this. If you fight with us, we can protect you from this. Protect, you don't even know what you're trying to protect me from.

It's not just them trying to fight me. You don't know what they've got on me, Xanthias. You don't know what I've done for them while I've been here. I didn't have a choice. You don't know what I've done, but I can shield you from the fury of the tarnished. And I'd like to cast that spell, please. What spells are you using? I'm using a fourth level spell, please.

Let's maintain it with a fourth level high-reach turn. I don't know if this is gonna work. Forty feet. around Xanthias, 40 feet square cube. All the fire just like... This entire room, sucks into... Yeah, just all of this fire, but also everybody begins to feel

this room grows hotter. Flames, almost like spectral flames, begin to roil up the sides of the walls in this place as everything begins to grow more and more intense. Daisy is terrified. Yeah, this is... Everything begins to grow hotter and hotter and hotter as you activate. It's the first time I've cast it with allies as well though, right?

Does that... You never use it? First time, you've seen it, yeah. I don't know, no, no, I mean, it has beneficial effects for allies inside it as well? It is, you can... So you generate your heat, so you get your four D6 of heat. Yes.

And you can spend that to protect yourself or to protect allies. Yes. Or increase, if they do fire damage, you can increase their fire damage as well. But you haven't, you don't know the full extents of this manor zone. Yes, well, that's what I was probing.

Sure. And that is an action to do that, right? Yes. Okay. Well, actually, no. Technically, you didn't go, Manor's own, Fury of the Tonnes, so it doesn't want. It's fine, it's fine.

Do it. Well, I said just Fury the Tarnish, so that's a bonus action instead of a four action. It's the same mana zone. And it doesn't work. No. So, okay. And for a bonus action,

I will create a flame blade as well. Yes, you can do that. Absolutely. It's very hot in here. It is steaming up. It grins to grow, extremely warm. I don't get attack straight away with it, do I know? No.

You get to enhance damage with it. Just all that fire is sucked into Xanthia, so he glows like crazy, and the sword comes out of that as well. This guard captain is going to, basically, has to kind of deal with Darling who's right in the way at the moment. So we'll attack three times with their sword.

Swad. Against Darling. First attack misses. Second attack misses. Third attack is cocked. Third attack will hit. Damn. 2D8. Damn.

Points of damage. Just seems to engage darling, like draws the sword, slashes in, begins, you know, locked into combat with them. Still is directing and will, basically just be like, Ms. Peridow, please, you know what you need to do. Get out of here. We can deal with them. We'll hold them off. That is going to be it with the regular guards dead.

So it is the top of a brand new round. Yes. Peridow is going to the bonus action. She is going to risk a tax opportunity from Fricks and Rowan. She's gruff as well? And no, because she's all. Yeah, oh yeah, gruff as well, yeah. And wait?

20. She will from you as well. I miss. So yeah, Daisy as well. Dirty 20. We'll hit. 21. We'll hit.

Do I get my sneaker attack on it? When she moves past you, she's not next to an ally. So no. Do I get a primal strike on that? I believe it applies to any attack you make, so yes. Seven. Seven points of damage. Six points of axe damage and six points of thunder damage.

So 12. Yeah. Okay, yeah. Vricks will make their attack. We'll hit from Vricks. Enough to take her down, unfortunately. As she scoots past, she goes up to the door. You see Daisy as a bonus section.

She's going to use the user-object interaction. She pulls a key out of her pocket, touches it to the doorknob, unlocks it, opens it, and then we'll action dash to step through. Jeez. Yes. And object, yeah.

Ah, yeah, she will just make a run for it. So, Benis Action Dash, so fine. Is that done? I will reveal that other little part of the map if we get to it. But the door is open. Okay. She did not have time to shut it behind her

or lock it behind her. Or sprinted in. Yeah, she's just sprinting at this point. We then go to Barrier, this guy. I really don't know what to do with him. Um... Is he just on the floor, so? No, he'll stand up.

Xenthias, you... If I help you, you cannot protect me from all of them. Maybe from these guys, maybe you fight these guys, maybe you kill them. She's just gone in her office, she's gonna tell Emerald what's happened to you. You cannot protect me from all of them. You should have stayed away. I don't... why did you come back? Just give me an opportunity to try. Make a persuasion roll.

Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake. Okay, take, pay to piece, peri, then. Persuasion? Yeah, I got, plus eight. Drive, my, fuck, fuck. You should stop saying. Where's that? Where's the drive, Tom?

16. 16. 16. I don't know what kind of powers you've got, but they're not gonna be enough. And... Does the fury of the charnished being epic add to the aura?

The aura of Xanthi's power. He's aura maxing right now. He's aura maxing right now. I am pushing over the limit of the aura max. And you just summoned the blade as well. He's like, going, I can save you. Yeah. I also protect them from the life.

You can make that roll as if it was with advantage. So you can roll the D20 again. Okay, well I had a one on fate. Fate you have to keep. Yes, and I remain one. But you can rerroll the D20 as if you had advantage. Okay. I said it before, it didn't help watch this drive.

Fuck you! You need to stop saying it. You need to stop saying it. No, same result, 16. Shit! That wasn't this about it. Uh, that's true. Oh, right, yeah.

I was like, that was what I was. No. No, I don't think you can. I won't hurt you and I won't hurt your friends, but I can't help. He will stand up. He will... to this door. I think the only thing he will do is... He will... I guess he doesn't know that Darling isn't one of your friends.

So he will ready in action. he will prepare himself for something. Okay. Boob. That's Farias turn. Glitter. It's not staying in this. Get the fuck out of that.

And he said all that out loud as well, so everyone knows about it. Yeah. Yeah. He's not in my chat. No, true. He could be. I didn't know if he had a best friend link, you know.

It's just going to take a step to side so it does not provoke any opportunity attacks. Looking almost feral. Beastial even. Glitter is just, it's almost like in a panic at this stage. It's just lashing out at anybody and everybody that they can. Yeah, in fact, actually, we'll bonus action disengage so that they can move through. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. We'll just move to try and basically block the entrance to that door.

Can't quite reach it. to shut it, has run out of shots, can't reload. So Will bring up that tattooed ring and putting it on gruff. Rowan, pretty much all of you guys need to give me a Constitution saving throw, please, as she conjures another bright, blinding light. Oh shit.

Definitely failed. Yep, same. Wait, what was it, Constitution? Constitution, please. Concer. 20, unnatural. I've got an 18. Success, success.

23. Success. Failure for Rowan. Eight. Eight failure to go. Seven. Terrible damage. Only 10 radiant, so five to those who came out. I'm resistant to radiant damage.

So you would only take two. But Rowan and Ophelia you both blinded again. Ah. I rolled a 15 on my concentration save. You are fine. Um, yeah, and that's all she can do. Oh, that's pissy butts. I was just thinking about how pissy but it is.

Very pitty butts. So then we go to Ophelia. Yeah, Ophelia's gonna chase after glitter. Okay. Don't run for me, I have plans for you. So you move up next to her? Yeah. Stop. Where do you want to, when you say next to her,

do you want to be like by the door? Do you want to be in front of her? I want to be next to her. So like next next to her? Actually, no, no, I'll be in front of her. In front of her. In front of her. Okay.

Okay. A blockage. Okay. Yeah, that was the main thing to check. Yeah. You need to move me through. And then I will activate my rage again. Okay.

Yeah, and I will attack her recklessly, so I will do this for just regular. And I will also fate this one, please. That's lovely. Taking out a dagger. Love me. Try and swipe at her. She's looking pretty hard.

14. Does not hit. Shit. Yeah, so you would have been with this advantage of her. cancels it out. Try again, this time we've disadvantaged. No, the reckless still applies.

Yes, you see I have advantage. 16? It does not hit. Fuck, do it'll do. Oh my God, just misses her. Just blind, you're like slashing, you know, lashing out and she's ducking and weaving as you're unable to land.

I'm afraid. That's all we can do. Yeah, I think in a panic, I'm immediately going to spend the point of fate and she's going to attack you back. Yes, yes. Okay, cool. Like, she's just in a panic is attacking the first thing but she does have advantage because you um you wrecked

yeah that is going to be age 19 uh me to beat it it beats it beats it this is with her dagger so that is going to be 10 points of piercing so half to five 10 points of poison cool can i heller tribute as a reaction uh you can sick uh this will be fun 2d 10 it will be fun i just need to do so i just need to hear she succeeds so she's going to take half and then half again she's resistant. So that is 17th half. So 17, 16, 8 and then 4. Are we in the Manor Zone?

Ooh, that's very true. Ophelia is doing fire damage. Would you like to spend heat to increase the damage? Yes, because I'm about to gain a load of heat anyway. So let's give you 3D6. Roll an extra 3D6. Oh shit. I'm sure what Zanthius can roll then, is it?

Oh my God, 7 and 13. 13. So it goes up to 30. She's 30. She halts it because she succeeded to 15. And then that would half to get to seven, because she is resistant to fire as well. So you watch as the heat in this room, Xanthius,

you watch as Ophelia conjures this fire and launches it towards her and using your concentration of the essence, you managed to bolster that flame going that way. When you were telling you, she's going to spend her reaction. The hell should be cute. Yes. I love it. You've got 1D6 left to release it.

to release it. Will that take me out of... No, no, no, no. Okay. You just generate more heat. Okay. That's amazing. Is this how bad people, Hellish rebuk each other?

Through flames and fire. So Dickson is who hellish rebuk each other. And I have advantage because I am. Danger sense. Danger sensing. Thank God, 16. 16 is a success, so you're gonna take half damage. Nice, nice, nice.

Where's a fucking, I keep losing my D-10? So that would be eight points of fire damage to you. Yeah. So half to four. Amazing. So the two of you just like, that, that, that! Yeah, the two of you just going higher with each other.

I love it. That was on end of Aphelia's turn. Yeah. So then we go to Rowan, Rowan's turn. Okay. Rowan is going to cast slow where he is. Okay. So it doesn't have...

But you pick a point and then you pick creatures, right? Yes. Okay. I think I could hit Peridot. You have to be able to see them. You have to see them, don't you? No. No.

All the time up to around six creatures of your choice and a 40 foot cube within range. 40 foot cube within range. So from where you are, 5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 30, 30, 40. Can you pick the point of the cube within? So where's the cube going? That's the question, because don't forget,

she's in another room. I'll put it at the doorway there. This doorway here? The pillars, sorry. The pillars? Just behind Daisy. Just behind Daisy. That's where I start the cube.

Okay. And it's a 40 foot cube in all, so that's the middle of the cube. Yeah, because don't forget that we'll heart, that would have, yeah, it's not gonna hit her. It's not gonna hit her. What if you move into the room? Yeah, I'll move in.

Because I don't wanna cheat it that I know where she is. I mean, you saw her run through the door. You start through the room, yeah. Then I would move the cube far into that room because it's 120 foot range that I can cast it. Mm-hmm. So, um. And you don't need to see where the cube goes.

It just, you pick a point within range, which says. Okay. Okay. Yep. So, yes, wisdom saving throw. I'll try and place it so it hits. Peridot. I'll allow you to choose. So basically it would hit Glitter and Peridot, the only two it's going to hit.

Let's do that. Okay. Price. Wisdom save on them both. Wisdom save. 15 to beat. But one last use of her favorite thing. The Wisdom save on Peridot is going to succeed. That is going to be, what is I'm going to be 17. So 17 for Peridae.

And then, but glitter fails. Minus two to AC and deck saving throws. And also can only make one attack a turn. Can't take reactions. Nice. Glittered like suddenly begins moving in like as if slowed, as if in tar. Yeah. A smile's a faggy smile at that.

Just like begins, oh, kind of reacting very slowly to everything. bonus action Yeah, bonus action I'm going to mass healing word again You can't, you've already cast a spell that it required a spell, so that's true That's true, isn't it? It is true, I know

How do I end this blindness? It just ends at the Glitters next turn Glitters next turn Glitters next turn I'm going to stumble towards Gruff and just put a hand on his shoulder

You stumble forward and feel an armored furry shoulder. Oh, this is gruff, right? Oh, yes. Holding on to you, well, I can't see. Right, you might want to let go on a second, boyo. Okay. All right, end of turn, Roman? Yep.

Then it is Aydarlings to go, and then it is gruff. Actually, let's do gruff first, and then I'll do darling. Um, okay. I was desperately trying to find... I think true to my word, I have one use of wild shape left. I am going to transform into a giant eagle gruff form. And fly after Peridot,

which means I might get an opportunity. No, because she has no reaction. Not glitter, glitter doesn't. Yeah, so I'm good. I have 80 foot of flying. Is it a large creature? What have we said before? I don't, I mean, it depends on what the creature is.

It is large, yeah. It's a five foot doorway. I would say, you know. You can do it, but it's probably going to be like half movement to go through it. Yeah, it's going to be squeezed through. Okay, well I've got 80 foot of movement. You got 80 foot of movement. Probably more than enough, right.

Five, ten, fifteen. You can fly over 20, say ten feet of movement to go through there. 30, 40, 50, 60. Yeah, you can fly behind her. You are in eagle form. 10. Yeah. B, boom.

I will multi-attack her as eagle. Yeah. Um, which is what? I'm just gonna roll this first. Yeah, try and get the stats. Seven is not gonna hurt. That's not good, probably enough. No, not gonna hit.

Okay, so you try and swing wildly at her. She turns, what you can see, Gruff, is now that you've entered, this is a lavish-looking private chamber. You can see that it is carpeted. There is a beautiful looking, like a double bed at the end, flanked by, you know, cabinets and, like her wardrobes,

It's like two wardrobes, it's like gauzy fabrics. She is currently stood at a vanity, like a kind of like makeup, cosmetic's vanity, and she's run up to that. Behind her is a writing desk, but she's run up to this vanity, and she's not gotten to do what she wanted to do yet, but that's what she's doing as you run.

Can I? No, because I've already taken, I was just flapping around, distracted. You do two actions. So that is the end of your turn. Darling is gonna continue fighting this guard. Fuzz attack hit. second attack also hits.

She will add some extra damage with a distracting strike to the first one. For the gun captain, that is going to be... 16 points of damage. And the next attack against him has an advantage. And then she will do another 14 points of damage. So she's just like pummeling, fighting off this guard and like, you know, can't quite do anything about Alejandro yet, but it's trying to hold this guard back from like getting in

and fighting the rest of you, basically. basically. Like, whatever you're going to do, do it quickly? Just in terms of mechanics, so I knew I had this, but I couldn't quite find the wording for it. I have wild resurgence, which meant that I could, with no action, I can recharge a wild shape. So because I was out of wild shape slots, because I'd used three, I reactivated one. Perfect.

So I'm now out of that feature. You're out of that feature. Nice. So that was, darling. I'm an evil. Yes, thank you for that. Daisy. Hello.

I want to move through. the door and so that I can see Peridot and take a shot. Yeah, absolutely. I'm gonna give myself luck. Yeah, because you can't stay again if you move. Yeah, perfect. So use your luck. Also my moonbeams stays up. Oh yeah. Godda.

19. 19 will hit her. Yeah. Nice, nice, nice. Yeah, yeah, it's like it. 26. No, 26. 28 points, oh. 28, you said.

Yeah. She's still up, but she's very bloodied. She looks very, very hard, but she's, you know, pretty tough. Somebody needs to finish the job. I'm out of action. Okay, so that is Daisy's go. We then go down to Ale Alejandro. Fucking God.

Ridiculous. I'm falling to them. like trip trip right into it he is going to do that still be there yeah because I oh you can still concentrate darling is going to get an attack of opportunity against him and he's going to come and stand next to Ophelia nah no no darling gets an attack opportunity hits him great does a little little touch of damage punched the back of the head punch the back of head as he runs like probably speeds the leg but doesn't quite trip him I actually could only

have tripped him in a lot. Unfortunately not. As he runs by, he gets so that he can see also into the office. And he looks directly past, and he is going to start playing, oh, Daisy, my Daisy, and he casts a spell. He cast Dominant Person on Daisy. Oh, fuck. I'd like to counter-spell that, please.

Okay, go for it. Let's go! Constitution saving three. His counter-spell. Yeah, what is it, wisdom save you? He makes a constitution saving throw. Okay. Oh no, sorry, so I'm casting this counter spell.

I have to third level it, unfortunately. I know how high level dominate person is, but... 21. I rolled a 19. But... Does that mean it doesn't get counted? Doesn't get counted? Does that mean you have to do the save now? I will use my last luck and do tight.

Fates. Faye. Yes. 17. Is a success? Oh! Oh! You feel and you hear NIM's voice

as his song begins worming its way into your mind, kill the eagle, kill eagle, kind of like these whispering things trying to instruct you, and you just hear like, no, no, not this one. And you hear this angelic music beginning to drown out his own sultry tones as the celestial choiry singing,

this beautiful voice of the celestial voice fills your ears and vents it. Hell yeah. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Then he will. That is pretty much all he can do. So I think as a bonus action, he will give glitter his version of Barney Conspiration.

So both Peridot and Glitter habit. I counter Bard. Is that a thing? We do all have advantage though still from... On the next D20 roll you make. Oh, I didn't. I wouldn't have needed to use my action. So I will gain a luck back.

Yeah, gain a luck back. That was Aleh Alejandro. Bricks. Fricks. Let's go. Bricks. Where there's enemies here. Finish the fight.

She doesn't like this one fighting Ophelia. Yeah. She's going to stand behind Ophelia. Look out with that door and you just see so many people looking in. Crowling in. She stands behind Ophelia and he's going to plunge the halber towards Glitter, basically. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Can you imagine if we just see some rings appear on Fricks?

Oh my god. Nothing personality. Just turns around, starts fighting you guys. Just turns road straight into doing. It's a hit. It's a hit. Yes! Yes!

Do it! First attack. It's a tag. Steal the kill. Steal the kill. It's fine. I want to do things. Oh.

Not enough to sneak around. Oh, I see. 12 more. Hanging on this teafling in this feral, teeth-bed, tail almost straight. They'll almost straight, like just feral, you know, violent, in desperation, but is on her last legs.

You know, is a stiff breeze is gonna finish her off. Right, cool. That was Rix's turn. Zanthius. You gain four more heat. I have to spend a fifth. If you wish to. I have to be going.

So you gain 5D6 this turn. I got six heat. You do. In addition, any creature within the manor zone is going to take some fire damage. At the start of my turn. At start of your turn. Any creed, even friendly creatures. Even friendly.

Oh no. Good thing I wasn't in it. Because you haven't fully mastered this yet, you are not able to select. It's erratic. Yeah. So, I will roll. So 40 foot sphere is hitting everyone in this room.

Everyone in this room. Not anybody in the other room. My turn? The door would, yeah, well maybe. I think it's hitting Daisy. It's Daisy just inside. Wait, what? just at the door, so I think it is within 10.

No, I'm inside the door though. Yeah, but that door is like a five foot is next to this door basically. Oh. It's also open. I don't think it's reaching Gruff. 30, 35, 4. Yeah, Daisy is just inside.

Gruff doesn't get hit by it. Sorry. Everybody, everybody takes nine points of fire damage. I'll move closer to Gruff next turn. For real. Yeah. Oh my God, that's so funny. Oh my god.

From that. Yeah. I didn't realize you was so bad. Glitter also dies. Oh good. Yeah, glitter is like just cool. I love that, though. And the two of you, like, well, I think it's like,

she's going to stab you, you're about to bite her, and then this way, like the heat of the room just kind of flares, and from Xenthius, like this burst, like this kind of wave of flame, and the two of you just collapsed. Because glitter is an interesting enemy, I am, she might not immediately, she might be dead, she might not be, so it depends. But yeah, the two of you go down.

Cool, cool, cool, good, good, also take some damage. Basically, everybody else in this room is taking damage. Ah, okay. Peridot doesn't. She's too far. Darling does. Glitter is down, Bricks has taken it.

And then all the guards do it as well. Sorry, it was just an Awee burst. No, no, no, you're good. But this is the thing is you still haven't mastered this ability yet. So there are things that you aren't fully in control of. And like last time, when you fought the two assassins, they were taking that damage, but they were the only ones in the room. You don't take that damage, I should point out.

I know. So you don't take that damage. It's great for me. What a great day. But yeah, continue with your time. So I want to say some things to Farrier to stoke some sort of emotions, but if you won't let me save you,

then you know that he can. I didn't know I've befriended a coward. Make an intimidate role. Because I know he's a red dragon born as well, which is what I'm aiming for, right? Assaulting is pride. Intimidation. No breathing.

Don't give a fuck. You can have an advantage on this as well. Advantage. Yeah. You do have quite good aura right now. A big wave of flame just... That's 20? Oh, my God.

Coward? Coward? You think everything I've done... Prove yourself to me. You know what? Fine. You see this? When you took that thing,

I'll show you. And you see that you have definitely... done something. To the bad guys, right? We'll find out. To the bad guys, right. You just said to prove himself. Ory, gone.

We'll see. Bahamut blast into that room. I want to use a scorching ray, because I can see through the door, right? You can? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Scorching ray. Fuck it. Sixth level. Oh my God, that's what? Four extra rays, so seven rays?

Jeez. One perido. Um, um. I think I, do I want to do six? I've said it now. Well, you have six heat, which you can add to each one of those grades. And I roll advantage on all of these

because of my mage rage, yeah. It's not a deck saving throw, so she doesn't get evasion against it. Let's go boss them. All of them, spiraling into this room. Count these. Well, not all of them. First one, 19.

Hits. So not a Nat 20. Second one, Nat 20. Okay, that's, let's. Okay, let's get in the track of this. So how do I figure this at? You're right, keep going, keep going. I'll keep track.

She does have a good amount of hit points left, but this might be enough if we get a lot of hits here. So that's two. Okay, keep going. Next one. Ooh, that's four plus, not much. It probably won't hit, almost. Did you get an advantage somewhere as well?

He's rolling in. I am running advantage, yeah. Yeah, that definitely doesn't hit. It was a plus eight. So that's the three. Three, four. Nat 20. Holy shit.

Oh my god. I'm keeping track of them, sorry. That was four, so and fifth one. This is going to get straight up scorch. Scorch in it. That's four, five. Three, So fifth.

Those first four are likely gonna kill. No, just keep on the first. Okay, five. Nuclear blast. Literally. 15. Not enough. Six. Six.

Not 20. Oh my God. I love this. Oh, come on. One more baby, one more baby boy. Fucking prove yourself Farrier. And seven. This is the seventh?

14 plus eight. So, you know. Okay, let's do the normal. That's insane. So let's do the crits first. That's right, I got this down. So each of those crits is gonna be 12. Then you're gonna roll the two D6.

But are you spending any heat on those crits? I'm spending heat on the crits themselves. Well, that's what I'm asking. Because you can double them. I'll do two D6 for each crit because I have six. So yeah, so that's another 12. Oh my God. We wanted to interrogate them, right?

I just thought about that. Listen, you tell me, baby boy. Right, so now roll 10 D6. I don't have any of that. You should have eight. Oh yeah, I've gone, I've gone. I've gone. Yeah.

That's a fat stack. Uh, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, fifteen, nineteen, twenty five, thirty three. 33. Plus all of those. With the crits and all the heat, that is 105 points of fire damage. Oh my God.

Jesus Christ. That's 105 points of fire damage. You watch as, almost drive it, all this intense building heel. Would you like to? All this intense heat you watch as Zanthius says

coalesces it into a cannon of flame, just a blinding beam of light. One that's going around you as well. Yeah, I think that you, like Roman and Bricks, you throw yourselves to the side. You know, Aphelia, you're on the ground.

This Alejandro guy barely manages to throw himself against the wall. Daisy, you hear it coming and NIM, you know, tells you dive out the way as just this incinerating lance of fire spiraling, swirling, like a lance, like a spear. It blasts through the room. You see Peridot, like full impact frames just like, no, that's not. And I am going to say you cannot non-lethal 105 points of fire damage. Limit and to say no.

It's a good bit going to basement. I'm not arguing it. What was their health? What was their health? Yeah, what were they at? What were they at? Peridow. They had 55 HP left. Okay, so probably wasn't the amount to completely destroy them. No. If we went with a player rule.

No, but like, it's 50 points of damage over what they had left. Yeah. Basically, you leave, like, you incinerate her. Like, the bones, the flesh, The only things that remain are, and you think of a magical nature. So you see no rings, but you see a key. You see basically her clothing transforms

into this magical embossed leather armor that was once her clothing, it seems to become this leather armor. You see the circlet that she was wearing, drops to the ground, but that's it. It's just like smoldering boots and just like, Just a black stain of soot and ash just reached out in front of her. Can you look towards the guard at the door as you do that? You're next.

I mean, what does the room look like? Like, is it only hit them? Because it is scorching ray and it's not like a fireball. I'm going to say that, like, you have blasted the back wall, but not, like, it hasn't hit any of the flammable furniture. So everything in the room is still intact. but you just incinerate. One second, she was there, the next second she's gone.

There was a point in the middle of those seven rolls where I was like, I'm gonna transfer the damage to another person, and then another Nat20 came, and then another Nat 20 came, I was like, you know what? It's destiny, dude. It wasn't intending to incinerate this person, but I was like. That is comedian, the arrogance though,

like the pride of arrogance, like you're trying to work up Farrier, but you work on yourself. Yeah, what a statement to make to Farrier. Diadem agent, like. Your boss is... Well, I'll tell you what, the other thing that you see is because, like, it's not far, like, she...

You would have had, like, the guard go, and then she would have gone. She was reaching... This vanity has, like, four glowing, like, like, stones, like lights, almost. She was reaching for one of them. And it looked like she was reaching for it to do something. Like, she was very clearly about to activate something. Which color was...

They're all the same color, but she was reaching for the lower right. handstone. And she was reaching for that one and then literally turns, like, thinks, okay, like, I'm hurt, but I'm going to complete what I need to do. And then just turns and just sees

this column of fire just eradicate her. Ophelia, you are like, you're not unconscious, but you are like, you know, dazed in that. You barely see this happening above you. Glitter is like, unconscious, unconscious.

What does that happen? Andrea do. I'll tell you one thing. This guard just goes like, absolutely not. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five, thirty, and then dashes. Darling can attack opportunity but she's not going to be able to knock him out. He legs it. He runs.

You see that, like he was dressed like an off-duty worm guard as well that you look like. Right. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. He looked like a more coordinate. He didn't look like one of the opal kind of lounge guards, I don't think. Actually, no, he was the door god, sorry, he does the bad one of the large guards. But he runs for it.

I will leave that, like, we can end this here. Like, you guys certainly would have enough turns that if you wanted to do something to Alejandro, you absolutely can. I feel like we knock him out. Yeah, if we're subduiting him. Yeah, I'm just trying to think, like, on his turn, what would he do? Because that's the thing. Oh, is that atheist?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have to have done to him. nice. You're so strong and brave. I love you. Your fire is firing. Let's, I know we're running, oh, we've run 15 minutes over, we should end it there. Let's end it there and we'll conclude what happens. Because there are maybe some other little parts to this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, there's some bits and pieces. So let's wrap this there. I think I made a statement. A bit of one. I cannot believe. That was insane. I genuinely was like 15 HP, even the high level one.

It's a good chance he misses a few. I thought he was gonna miss a few, and then he was three. I always miss a few, but like, three crits. The second 20, I was like, this is insane. Like the third. Like, don't give me wrong, I've got the heat, which is obviously a homebrew thing, but like between Mage Rage, giving me advantage,

and scorching Rade, it's an unbelievably strong combo. Keep in mind that the heat basically, obviously I don't know, like the dice that you rolled. Like, it added 36 damage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pre-crit, yeah. No, that is the crit, that is the crit of the heat, basically. So even without that, you still incinerate.

Right, like, just from the crits alone without the heat, that's insane. And your manor zone finished off glitter, right, as well. Yeah, yeah, the man-o-feeling. And ophelia. Right, and a feel, yeah. But with that, we are gonna call this episode there. I could have done more as well with Crampstiel.

Could have done some more damage, yeah. Unbelievable. We're gonna call that episode there. Oh my God. Man, tense, a lot of up and down. Didn't quite get those eyes, I'd been a bit more damage, but unfortunately, yeah, you guys managed to put it off.

Rowan getting in the room also helped. Massively, because that got gruff up. That's one up. That got gruff up. As a point, by the way, if you hadn't got gruff up, Glitter was gonna kill him on the ground. Like she would have just been like, nope,

kill the healer, kill him dead, like 100%. I was ready with my healing hands. Healing touch, yeah. But like that's not a lot. She would have taken you out again. I figured she was one of the smart ones. another two death saving grows, yeah.

Well, also like vicious, sadistic, like, was told to kill the healer. Yeah. She was not gonna let you get up again, basically. So very, very, you know, well-timed, I think. But yeah, also a lot, there was obviously a lot of, you know, a lot of moving parts, a lot of initiatives. I've got a lot of staff.

There was so many. Tears some of those up. Yeah, well, maybe. Hey, listen. Good combat, good fun. I mean, Perid is definitely dead. Like, a hundred percent. But we'll have to find out.

You do now, her office, if you do get control of this place, her office may be worth searching. Trying to find some information. I'm going to work with Malcolm. Yeah, yeah. Cool. But with that, we're going to call it there. Thank you guys so much.

We'll see you next time. Take care. Bye.
