with D&D Beyond using the link in the episode description. Last time on Erois, whilst preparing for the oncoming invasion of the Valkyrian Empire, the party seek to restore the goddess Siaska, the Star Mother, to power. To do so, they will need to track down her children, Titans who are believed to be true gods, on Erois and force them to relinquish their divine spark. The Titans, many driven mad by the impending doom of their world, rage against their foes or mourning for their lost brother Hesper, have retreated to unique demiplanes that cannot be reached without the Titans' express permission. The demigoddess Vala has located one such demiplane and has the power to break into it, giving the party a chance to battle against the titan Zephir.

After commandeering a ship that once belonged to their friend and first mate of the ship, Araya, the party set sail and breached the anchor locus and entered Zephir's domain, the Maelstrom. Claiming that this will be her last great adventure, Zephir fights the party in a gargantuan form with many powerful abilities. As the party believe they've finally wounded the Titan, she grabs the ship and drags them into a much more violent storm. The battle of the Maelstrom continues. That is where we kick things off, everybody.

Let's recap. How does this this raid work how does it work well yeah you do want to have you can go over a quick five minute thing i actually don't by joking aside i think that that's not necessarily a bad idea uh in your previous kind of in the the first half of this battle you know zephyr's gar gargantuan form seems to strike the sides of the ship that you're currently on, sending it sprawling to the sides. You also have lots of like wind and rain causing all sorts of issues. But the scariest thing of all is that every time she seems to strike you, she kind of builds this gathering storm energy around you, which causes you to take more and more damage.

There does seem to be a way to restore it by entering into the calm, the eye of the storm through several magical spheres. You are able to cleanse yourself of this energy, but it does mean that you are out of a fight for at least one turn. The last thing that happened was as Zephir kind of dragged the ship under and you find yourselves now in a dark sky, terribly stormy sea waves as tors giants kind of crashing down on the side of you um you have valor at the back of the ship kind of coating the ship in a kind of purple glow um keeping it from being sunk or destroyed uh you also have maximilian taldros uh the knight of

gideon um kind of with you as an ally currently protecting Valor. But the last thing that happened is Zephir spawned all of these storm orbs that kind of moved around erratically and have been growing and swelling in size and power as they, yeah, seem to be about to erupt with the power of the storm. We are at the top of a round and it is Lucius, Varian, Elowin, Elanasto. Yep, it's me. I'm so ready. You are currently, Lucius, you and Quill are connected by a tether of lightning

that seems to kind of like connect your two bodies together. And we've learned that by using a reaction to get close and touch hands. Yes, if you move next to each other and spend your reactions, both of you, you can dispel the tether. I think I will absolutely run towards Quill, offering

a hand in reaction. I have no idea if I still have a reaction free. I probably do. I'm going to say you do. I can't remember exactly either. I didn't make notes of whose reaction had been spent and stuff like that because in my mind this is the start of a brand new turn.

So we're just going to say that you do. I think all Tom did was come out of the cam. I think you're right. Yes. In that case, yeah, I will touch hands and giggle. I think it was Lucius that didn't have his reaction, which is why Quill didn't do it on his turn. Yeah, but it's now top of the round, right?

So it's okay. Yes. Yeah, at the start of your turn, you get your reaction back. So Lucius, you run up. You and Quill kind of reach up. You like touch it. You know, you kind of, your fingers touch. And as soon as that does, this kind of lightning,

this static energy does disperse. And the tether between you is broken. Is that part of the tether? Remember, you kind of, your fingers touch, and as soon as that does, this kind of lightning, this static energy does disperse, and a tether between you is broken. Is that part of the tether? But remember, you still... Well, don't forget, you still keep all of your current stacks of Gathering Storms, so let's have a quick check-in on that. So, Lucius, how many Gathering Storm stacks did you have? Did you make a note of this?

Three. Three, okay. Quill, how many? I have one, so that's not too bad one nova none none ala i think had none as well none none and then century got two two and then max also has two at the moment as well hey cool so i'm going to um you still got your action and bonus action and some movement as well i'll basically spin around as i reach quill kind of back into him so he can just touch my back or whatever and then i shoot forth from my hand a couple of bolts of chromatic orb

that split and hit the two closest to me. So one to the north and one to the east. Yes. And I'm going to use... Nice. Both very close, but you're not within melee. Nice. All right. Well, two attack rolls then. So that is a 23 for the first one.

Mm-hmm. And for the second, it's a 23. Two 23s. Nice. They boths. Nice. They both hit. So these little kind of balls of stormy energy, they do seem to be a little bit quick, but you've hit them before,

and they do seem to be quite easily destroyed as well. First one is a 27 of acid. I've got adept, so if there's any resistance, they don't have it. Yep. And also 26. That one. And also 26 for the other one. Perfect. Both of these orbs, as you kind of launch these twinned chromatic orbs out, the acid coats the storm energy and it disperses it.

You kind of see like a flash of lightning, a peel of thunder, but they both dissipate into energy. And then I used a third level spell. So it's eight points of Dicromanromancy acid to the one south of Aayla. Eight points to the one south of Aayla. All righty. That's pretty much my go. Sure.

I'll make a note of that. Where's my notepad i had have you checked your butthole i have checked my butthole tom thank you yeah it's context but we're not giving it there's context there but no sure okay uh so the dichromi doesn't quite manage to destroy the one south of Aayla, but it does weaken it. You can see that that does have a mildly weakened effect as it does so.

End of your turn, Lucius. End of my turn. Okay. Beginning of a lair action. There is already one... There is already one... There is already a orb out. Let me just check and make sure I've got... Yeah, that's cool.

So we go to Ayla. Still no sign of Zephys. She hasn't reappeared since the ship was dragged into this other space. appeared since the ship was dragged into this other space. Yeah. I'm going to smack this one that Lucius just hit with the eight.

Sure. Damage. That's 27 to hit. That hits. Oh, full damage. I've forgotten my damage now, hang on. New damage! So... 23. Hammer damage.

23 points. I'm guessing it doesn't take lightning damage. It doesn't, no, but the blow of the hammer is enough to kind of disperse the energy of the little orb. Cool. And then I will move beside Max and get the one beside him, please. Sure. Which is... Ooh, 19 plus 14 to hit.

Yep, that will hit. And that is a 15 hammer damage plus. 15 points of hammer damage. That one is also destroyed, already weakened by some other attacks. That one is basically, yeah, dissipated as the hammer comes down. And a side swipe, the lightning energy explodes outwards, dissipating entirely. And I think that's me. The lightning energy explodes outwards, dissipating entirely. And I think that's me.

She's not here. So she's not here. She will be momentarily. The remaining orbs, having built into this crescendo of power, have one last movement, and then they all explode. We will start at the very top, the northernmost orb. D8 for direction. Seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

It moves bonk and just impacts against the side of the ship. Hell yeah. Yep. One below it. Two. One, two. Away from us. Hell yeah.

The one in the furthest to the south, just south of Ayla and Max. One. Moves 10 feet in the fight. Uh-oh. Moves to the north. That's pretty close. And then the last one. Seven.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Oh, God. right next to that. Okay. I'm just going to check that, yeah. So, yeah, if eight is the most diagonal, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yes. Okay. So, as these things move in, they explode outwards in a radius of 10 feet each,

which means I believe Ayla and Max are the only ones who are actually within range of these. Yeah, Ayla gets hit twice, Max gets hit once. Yes. You don't need to make two saving throws against this Ayla, it's just the damage goes off, and they deal damage based on the number of orbs remaining. So, which is why it's very good that you guys cleared them all out uh

can you make a deck saving throw please ayla and i will make one for maximilian natural 20 so we're gonna take some damage i mean you're gonna be halving it again because of um lightning although these these also do thunder damage so you're gonna reduce half and then another one by half. Max is unfortunately going to fail. He's not a very dexterous boy. So this is going to be one, two, three, four.

4d10 of lightning damage and then 4d10 of thunder damage. Well, they could have been devastating. Yep. So that's going to be 16 lightning damage, half to eight for you, Ayla, half again to four for you, and then 16 to Max. Oh, Max is in my aura.

Okay, so he takes half as well. He takes half lightning. It's not thunder, but he takes half as well. He takes half lightning. It's not thunder, but he takes half lightning. Yeah, and then the 4d10 of thunder damage, which is halved for you, but max for Max, is going to be 27. So half that is going to be 13 thunder damage to you, Ayla, and then 27 to poor Maximilian.

Cool. As these orbs all explode in a cacophony, you hear the peal of thunder roll overhead. The ship is rocked by these giant waves. These orbs all vanish, and emerging from the sea once again comes the giant figure of Zephia, and I have changed the token.

Thank you very much, Fail Draws, for making a custom brand new token wow amazing much much better much better than the uh the sexy river nymph that i had in my

collection um but yeah she just kind of burst from the water and you can see that there is still this kind of uh violent rage this kind of bursts from the water. And you can see that there is still this kind of violent rage, this kind of attempt, this tempest of fury. But there is also fear there for the first time. And Zephia is going to now take her turn. The first thing she's going to do is...

So is that a bonus action? I can do that on my turn. Aye, it is. Let's have... Can Tom please roll a d6 for me? I want to see if certain moves recharge. D6. Yes, I can. Here it is. Five.

It's five. The wind cutlass does recharge, but I'm not going to use it just yet. Instead, she's going to shoot two kind of bolts of lightning from her eyes. They kind of glow blue-white, and these beams of lightning are going to shoot out, and she's going to target probably Nova and Sentry, I believe. So I think I already used my reaction to use Armor of Hexes on my last turn. You did, yeah.

I feel like that's what I did, so I can't... Yeah. You can't use it again, unfortunately. Well, we'll see. We've still got a roll to hit first, so... But on the last one, it was a nat 20, so it was a top-notch use. It was very top-notch.

Excellente. That is going to be... Where are my attacks? That is going to be 23 Nova. Yes, that will hit me. And then Sentry. That's going to be 21. Yeah, just.

Just barely hits. So first things first, you both gain one stack of Gathering Storm. So please make a note of that. And then you're going to take some lightning damage. of Gathering Storm, so please make a note of that, and then you're going to take some lightning damage. That's only 10 points of lightning damage to both of you, but you both gain a stack of Gathering Storm,

and then, now that she is in her mythic, the Fury Mode, Zephir lets out a wail, a kind of screeching cry that sounds like a crash of thunder, ships breaking against rocks that kind of echoes across this stormy sea.

And as a bonus action, she is going to make everybody on the ship make a charisma saving throw. Oh, god, okay. Hey, I'm good at those. Everybody in range of my aura is 510. Yes, they are, so everybody gets plus three on that.

Oh, thank you. I don't think I got an 18 total. Mine's lower. 18. So let's go with Nova. Let's go round. 28. 28.

28. You succeed. Lucius. 31. 31. You succeed. Ayus. 31. 31, you succeed. Ayla, 18, you said you got?

Yeah, 18. Quill. 16. 16, you fail. Sentry. 22. 22, so Quill, Ayla, and Max are the only ones. Quill, Ayla, and Max are the only ones... Quill, Ayla, and Max all fail. You immediately take damage as if your Gathering Storm had been struck.

So for Ayla, this means nothing, because I don't believe you have any stacks of it. Ayla? Yay! But Quill, how many stacks of Gathering Storm do you have? One. Okay, just the one. So this is going to be 2d8. Oh, I didn't do this to everyone, but that is gonna be just four points of damage.

I rolled really low. Cool. What, 2d8? So you just take that. Damn. Yeah, I rolled a one and a three. Amazing. The rest of us don't get half.

It's pretty bad. It's just nothing. Nope, nope. You just, if you succeeded the save, you don't take it. So you kind of manage to shield yourself with enough kind of like force of personality that you kind of rebuff this energy away from you for just a brief moment. That as she makes this call, he quill his thing. Max does take it actually. Yes. Good shout. Max had two stats.

Half lightning. Okay. So in that case, so in that case I will do... I'll do the lightning first. So that's going to be three points of lightning. And then... Seven points, so ten points of damage total to Max. As he is rebuffed

by the Gathering Storm Energy. That was the bonus action. Legendary actions I can't do just yet. Oh, my God. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. She struck me. I'm just going through all this stuff. I've got a lot of stuff. Do bear with me.

I have a lot of things to keep track of. Nova Vija. I am going to stick where I am for a second and cast Blight. So could you please make a con saving throw? 18. You're probably going to pass because I imagine a big, big strong god. No, I think you cast this already. I think you've cast Blight on her once already.

Her con isn't super good. Like even as a Titan, like she has it, you know, very, very high, but not as high as Nibi. Only 10. So it's going to take, but um not as high as need be only 10 so it's gonna take uh but it is she is resistant to necrotic so this is gonna be halved oh yeah uh there we go um that's a lot of dice and my brain is very good at math um seven plus five plus six plus two plus five plus four plus seven plus six plus three um equals this is why we use dnd beyonds

links in the description so 22 if it's halved 22 it's half uh points of necrotic damage but five points of uh hex blade curse which is the same type, so it's necrotic as well. Is it? Oh, yeah, it is. Yes, we went over this last time. Yeah. So, okay. So another two points. So, yeah, the spell definitely seems to have some sort of effect, less effective as you like, but you see that Zephira is no longer made of water.

This appears to be an actual manifestation of Zephira. The blight does kind of reach up and, you know, reaches part of her arm, and you can see her, you know, kind of sea green skin is kind of necrosised and turns slightly black as you strike. I'm going to stick... Actually, no, I'm going to move up slightly so that the net is sort of near me if tippies happen.

Or am I? No, I'm going to move backwards. I'm going to move backwards. I'm going to move backwards so I'm closer to Max and Ayla but in the middle of the ship. Oh, very interesting. Is it?

It is. Is it really? It is it really it is interesting yeah do i at the end of your turn i got i got a bunch of new legendary actions here so oh good bear with me tell me about them no you're all strong boys i think i want to i want to get i want to get i want to get crazy first uh the first thing as a legendary action uh at the end of your turn, Nova, she is going to create a storm tether between yourself and Aayla. Oh, again?

Yep. Frenzies! Kulik. I am going to nudge a little bit to the side, almost behind Lucius towards the side of the ship, because I've seen her do that sword slash move. I don't want her to use that on all of us. Okay.

And I'm currently concentrating on Shield of Faith on myself, so I'm going to put it into Old Papi Quill and do a Beacon of Hope, hope and then bonus action recover that spell slot Okay No, you go. So everyone has gone Stuff that's my turn. Yeah Okay, the end of your turn. She's gonna use one of her new mythic actions Nova what do you in fact?

Oh, she should on a la technically because there's no safe a la you gain a stack of gathering storm Which means Nova you gain a stack of Gathering Storm, which means Nova, you gain a stack of Gathering Storm as you're currently connected by a tether. So she calls and a bolt of lightning kind of strikes near Aayla and that storm energy begins to kind of close around you, Aayla, clinging to your skin. So you gain one as well, Nova, as you are currently tethered. Sentry.

I'm going to bonus action cast staggering smite at level four and then i'm gonna move up on her uh let's see five ten fifteen twenty twenty five thirty is it there i think i can hit her from there with With your lance, you can. Yeah. Nice. You wouldn't be able to with another weapon, but because you've got reach, you can just about. Cool. I'm going to go and give her an old one-two smackaroo

with the lance, please. Okay, please do. Okay, see if this hits. 31 to hit. Damn, that will hit. Yeah, 31, funnily enough, will hit. Cool beans. I'm going to do a level...

Let's go for level 2 Divine Smite against her on this one. So that's 4d8, 2, 3, 4, and then I got 2d12 because of the Lance form. And then because of Staggering Smite, I will have 4d6 jesus christ um i think stacking up a lot and a d4 because i'm big you and a d4 because you're big so that's 55 plus plus 7 62 damage for that one. 62 points of damage. I'm going to spend her reaction to immediately do her rebuke. So that goes to 86.

So first things first, one of her two hands is going to come up. I'm also going to use her reaction to do rebuking wind. Century, you are pushed back 50 feet. And do you any stacks of gathering storm i've got three you have three do you have any resistance to lightning damage or storm damage you don't do you no okay if she lands next to me she does that's true yeah well this is she takes the damage before she lands next to you 36 points of lightning and thunder damage. So that's combined. And then you are pushed back 50 feet. If you can move yourself back, that will help a lot.

Does she fall into the orb? She doesn't fall into the orb. No, she'll pass through it. The orb is semi-transparent. You can move through it, basically. But this time, you've seen her use this. She uses all the winds around her. But now that you're in this place,

there is this constant thunderstorm going on the outskirts of the thing and as she throws you back with a fury of wind this time all that storm energy around you explode sentry and you take loads of damage um it doesn't get rid of the stacks by the way the stacks remain so you still have still have three um and then you get pushed back and then one of her two hands comes up It's gonna be I'll just do on this side so she raises her Left and she raises the scimitar up into the air That was a reaction you'll go century You still have any like movement and stuff. It's still your turn. That's just a reaction on your ghost sentry. You still have any movement and stuff, it's still your turn.

That was just a reaction to your big attack. Can I move into the orb on this? That's an action isn't it to go into the orb? It's an action, so you've already spent your action to start attacking, so no, unfortunately not. Okay, then I will stay where I am. Okay, alright. Let's get funky I'm gonna spend my last legendary action for this

turn I'm gonna create a tether between sentry and Lucius oh that is pretty funny that's so funky oh we've got six stacks between us, haven't we? Yeah. Yeah, you do. Shit. All right. Maximilian is going to... If we leave this too long, she will overwhelm us. And he's going to raise his sword,

and this kind of radiant light is going to illuminate. He's going to cast crusader's mantle uh whilst you are within a 30 foot radius so if you're within 30 foot of maximilian um you each creature deals an extra 1d4 radiant damage when you hit with a weapon attack so you and that is on every attack you do so an extra d4 radiant damage um yeah weapon attack so not to spells unfortunately um and that was his action he will move away from all these people charged with lightning energy and he's seen this what happens when she raises up her uh thing he's gonna move over to the side um and that's gonna be maximilian's turn

lucius oh my god He's going to move over to the side and that's going to be Maximilian's turn. Lucius. Oh my god. Now, remind me touching that and going into that circle, that sphere, is that an action or is it just an action? Yes, it's an action to do. Bugger.

Alright. I'm going to use my font of magic to quicken a spell. Just so I can ping off one at her. Okay. Just fucking... What am I gonna do? 60 feet. Can I hit her from here?

Yeah. Kona cold. I'm gonna hit her hand and her... Yeah, it's... Just for effect, I'm done with her. Yeah. Kona Colt. I'm going to hit her hand and her... Yeah, it's just for effect. I'm done with Chromatic Orb. I'm going to do that at 8th level. What can I save? Con, please. 18.

Oh, I'm going to say that she rolls a... Like, 4. Poor Tented. Are you just making up that 4, or is that one of your poor Tented? I was trying to remember which one. She rolls a one. No, a four I guess. Four, she fails.

Really bad. Rolling my damage for Cone of Cold. Looking at the ones to make sure that they're twos. Fifty points of cold. 50 points of damage. And you've got Elemental Adept, so there's no resistance to this. 50 points of damage.

Blimey. So that's my bonus action. That's a good hit. That's a very good hit. And you actually skip over one of her scimitar slams because I don't have enough reactions to do it. Cool. Yeah, so the cone of cold, you kind of

coat her in thick layers of rime and frost. You do partially freeze her body into the sea itself and she smashes and breaks it free. But yeah, hefty, hefty attack. Now I'm going to shout, sorry Quill, I was going to nudge you but I don't have time. And I'm going to run

to Sentry and offer a hand in reaction. Take it. Alright, nice. You've both spent your reaction, just keep a note you don't get those back until the end of your turn. I haven't used my action yet.

So I would like to go into the... Excuse me, Sentry, and I'll just go between her legs. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Off you go. Sure. Lucius and the orb both disappear. The last orb. Lucius is here.

I had three stacks. Lucius, you find yourself in a beautiful, calm serene ocean you are just sort of on the deck of a ship but it's very calm, there's nobody else around you but you are stunned, you can't move can't do anything but you can now clear your stacks of gathering storm excellent

okay at the top of the round a lair action, I need everybody in the ship to make an acrobatic skill check as giant waves begin smashing into the ship itself, threatening to send you tumbling to the floor. Oh, okay. Acrobatics. 18.

18, 14. Lucius isn't there, so he doesn't need to make the check. 9. I think this is going to be everybody unless Max gets a natural 20 here. Nope, he got a natural 1. You are all knocked prone as the waves smash onto the ship. It kind of sends you sprawling, knocking you all prone. That's not terrible. not good, not terrible. Sure. Ayla.

Oh, hi, me. Can I high five Nova? You can, yeah, as long as you've both got reactions to use. Hell yeah. Don't leave me hanging. I press the flash. Make sure that you both spend your reactions neither of you have a reaction now um until the start of your next turn

i will get up um if i so i've got half movement because I was prone, correct? Oh, I should have done that. Yeah? Yes, you have half movement because you were prone, so you spend half your movement to stand up. So, if I then use my charge on my hammer, do I gain the 50 fly speed from this point when I use it? You... So, you gain a fly speed of 50 but you've still already

used half your movement so it's basically allowing you to use a fly speed of 50 feet but you have already spent half of that movement so you would have 25 foot of flight that you could use but remember you have to land on the ground because the wind is too strong here to fly and maintain i know i was just like my previous hammer thing gave me movement additional to my movement. Yes, which was a little, the thing that, so even if that was the case,

like if you were knocked prone, you would still only have half of your movement to jump. Like the way that like the, because you, otherwise it means that like anybody who can fly, like you can just be like,

well, I can just do whatever. It doesn't like, it doesn't matter. I got knocked prone. I'll just cast Fly on my next turn and it's irrelevant. Maybe that's wrong, but my understanding is that you spend half the movement to stand up and then you can't gain another 50 feet. It's just that it was a charge on the hammer. I expend a charge to be able to do it.

Yeah, and it gives you a flying speed of 50 feet i'm going to just throw the hammer at her face because i can't do anything else so i'll just throw the hammer at her uh which is uh 32 to hit 32 will hit um and that is a 32 will hit. And that is a... 19 damage. 19 points. How much of that is lightning damage? None of it, because she can't take lightning damage.

I've not even been rolling lightning damage. Nice. Okay, perfect. That's great. I have been... I have been Linerfed by lightning. Wait. It was a weapon attack. D4 from Max.

Which is a 4! Nice, 4 points of damage. That's radiant damage, so that definitely does affect. Nice. Okay. Alright, so Aayla, you throw the hammer, flies through the air, kind of blazing with Max's light,

smacks into her and then flies back into your hand. End of your turn? Yep. Okay. You've all got rid of your tethers. I've made you use your reactions. So let's have a think here. Zephia's turn. She gets all of her legendary actions and all of her reactions and stuff back

she ready to whack ship whack ship she is going to that's a mythic action i don't know why i'm looking at that uh that actually i forgot to do that should have happened at the end of the last turn so i'm just gonna leave her doing it and try and remember this this time this is the problem with doing a lot of things all at once so 15 foot wide just a little bit of everything all of the time. She will... How many stacks of bad stuff does everyone have?

Quill, you've got one, yes? Yes. Rianne's got three. Nova's got two. Ayla's got one, I believe. Max has two. Max does have two. She's not too worried about Max. Max isn't doing a lot of harm to her at the moment.

But that Blight, she can't hit Lucius because Lucius has vanished. Hammer blow, the Blight, the big lance attack all were quite mean. I will do... I'll save that. Yeah, I'll do a Lightning Blast against Aayla and a Lightning Blast against Nova. This is going to be against Aayla. Oh, that would have been devastating if you were still tethered.

15. That's a miss. That was a four on my you were still tethered. 15. That's a miss. That was a 4 on my dice. And then against Nova. That's going to be a 21, Nova. That will tittle me, yes. Yeah. No armour of hexes, unfortunately.

So this is going to be... And you had two charges yeah so this is going to be this is just the lightning damage love Italian so that's going to be 23 points of lightning damage and then 12 points of thunder damage she blasts you with one of these strikes um

and that has not recharged so we just go to nova vegas 10 hello uh nova's gonna reel a little bit from taking that. Actually, is it more as well? Because I'm prone. It doesn't do more damage, but you have to spend half your movement to stand up. I'm going to spend half my movement to stand up. And then I'm going to cast Far Step,

which is a bonus action. But with it, it allows me to teleport 60 feet, up to 60 feet. Where did it go? Where do you always go? So I feel like the wording of this means I can cast it and teleport. So it's like you teleport up to 60 feet. On each of your turns before the spell ends, you can use a bonus action to teleport in this way again. So I feel like I can teleport now.

So I am going to zip. Yeah, you do one teleport as the casting of the spell, and then on subsequent turns, it's a bonus action to do it. Yes. So that will take me up to Zephyr. So it is literally 60 foot to get up to her. And I'm going to attack with tiangong okay um so that is uh 19 plus 12 is 20 lots tom help me real fast. 31. 31. Okay, and then it's... So it's a d8.

Oh, I rolled an 8 plus 7 is 15 points of Tiangong. Sword damage. 20 because of my Hexblade Curse. So 20. And then I have a whole bunch of stuff because I have an extra d4 of Radiant Damage because Tiangong has been upgraded to have Radiant Damage now as well. I have a whole bunch of stuff because I have an extra d4 of radiant damage because Tiangong has been upgraded to have radiant damage now as well.

I rolled a 4 on that. And I'm gonna green blade. And you have an extra one from Max as well, right? Yeah, do I still have to be in his aura to do that? Or was it because I was in his aura? You have to be within 30 feet of him, yes. You have to be within 30 feet of Max. Am I within 30 feet of Max, yes. You have to be within 30 feet of Max. Am I within 30 feet of Max?

I'm not. Green. Hold on, let me just check, because that's... Is that a bonus action to cast? No, it's an action. Green flame blade, no, it's an action. Yeah.

So that is four, five, six, seven points of green flame damage. so hang on no because you you cast thunder step as an action right no so you can't bonus action as a bonus it's a bonus action for the first bonus action for the casting yeah okay yeah that's fine then um you can't yeah and then you rather spill as a cantrip i'm also sorry i'm trying to like get another token off of this thing as well i'm gonna have to just triple checking that yeah it's a spell bonus action on faster um cool and then green flame isn't yep um so then and then how much was it of fire damage seven did you say four five six seven yeah seven seven more points okay four five six seven yeah seven seven more points okay yep um the i mean the blade strikes against her definitely uh yeah causes uh something to happen but she's still fighting fighting strong

something happens something happens sorry i'm like trying to do a million things at once all right i'll describe it. You cut into her wretched flesh. I'm just checking I got all my stuff done. You're eating a broth of your sleep from her wounds. Yes, I got everything done. Yep. That's it. You bonus action cast Fast Step.

You teleported to her. You used an action to cast a cantrip because you'd already cast a full spell. Green Flame Blade. There's no other targets for the other Green Flame Blade to hit so no that goes off and does that yeah wailing out in pain thanks tom that's a crit I rolled a 19 so it's another what eight points of damage because it was just the base weapon damage if it's just the base weapon then it is oh you roll a dice for

flight green flame as well, don't you? Yeah, so I rolled a d8 plus 7 is the base damage, so 8, so another 15 points of Tiangong damage. No, no, no, you don't get the modifier again. You've already added the modifier once. You just get the 8 from the sword.

Do you roll a dice for green flame blade as well? I roll 2 d8s for that. For the single target, you roll the dice for green flame blade as well i roll two d8s for that oh for the for the single target you roll 2d8 so i'll be another 16 is 2d8 16 okay so be another 16 so 24 points of damage oh yeah i mean the green flame kind of like lances over zephyr. You see the flame kind of explode around her, heavily wounded at this point. You definitely see that is... I'm just trying to think of how much max damage you just did there. So it was 24. Yeah, it's going to trigger her rebuking wind. So you're going to be pushed back 30 feet, Nova.

And how many stacks of Gathering Storm do you currently have? I have two currently. Did she slam into the mast? Am I split in two? No, the mast is kind of like, I've been not counting it for things like cover because Valor's doing like timey-wimey stuff with it. So like Nova kind of breaks through it

and then it resets kind of thing. Nova's a bullet. Just because otherwise like the, it's going to be a pain in the ass. So I'm not going to try and make it too complicated. It's complicated enough. So that's going to be 22 points of lightning and thunder damage. Nova, as you are blasted back 30 feet,

if you can move yourself back 30 feet, please. Big old yikers. Okay, I will move myself, yes. 30 feet. Yeah, I'm waiting to see where you move so I can decide what I'm going to do. Hold on a minute. It's just straight back, so.

Yeah, I'm just, 30 feet would take me on the mast. Yeah, well, yeah, just pop yourself there, basically. One more. Yeah, that's it. Okay. Okay. What are you thinking about i'm thinking about stuff just thinking about stuff you know at the end of nova's go uh i am going to use her mythic action to summon a whirlwind. And she's going to summon it.

Oh, shit. None of us wanted that. Too bad. I don't have a really good whirlwind, so I'm going to use this icon. So this whirlwind kind of comes swooping in from the air, comes spiraling down to the deck of the ship. Boards start being ripped up. You can see pieces air comes spiraling down to the deck of the ship boards become being stopped being ripped up You can see pieces of netting being thrown to the side

Because of the size of it. I need Ayla and Nova to both make dexterity saving throws Goody 14 Total 22 I'm gone flying, kids! Me too. Ayla, you're gonna take half damage, and this is bludgeoning, so you're gonna take half damage again. Nova, you're gonna take full damage here.

I wanna do this on D&D Beyond. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Hmm. 26. 30 points, Nova, of bludgeoning damage. 15. Half again to 7 for Ayla. That could have been awful.

You take it as you are kind of pulled up on all these boards kind of like smacking you around, Nova, as you kind of get thrown up into the air. In addition, a large or smaller creature that fails the saving throw must succeed on a strength saving throw. Can you make a strength saving throw, please, Nova? Oh, I am so good at these. So strong nowadays.

I like to think that this is literally a succession of blunders by Nova, because she's just been hit by several things at once. She's stumbling. She's getting knocked around. She can't get any hefty gro. You look like Goku. Like footing. I rolled a four minus two. That is two. like getting knocked around you can't get any hefty grow you look like goku um uh like footing

i rolled a four minus two that is oh my god perfect you become restrained in the whirlwind um and when you start your turn in the whirlwind you you are pulled up into it so you're currently like being sucked into the middle of this whirlwind which is about 30 feet uh high by the way so it's like 10 it's um 20 foot sort of like 10 foot radius and then it's about 30 feet high, by the way. So it's like 10, it's 20 foot, sort of like 10 foot radius, and then it's about 30 feet high, and you are being pulled up into the air, basically, Nova. Damn.

Five feet high. God damn. I'm just thinking of Bismarck. Sure. Yeah, very much so. So that was the end of Nova's turn. Kila Kadkala. Does this whirlwind look like it's moving?

Or is it... It certainly looks like it could if she wishes it to, yes. Right. Well, in that case, I'm going to use just all my movement to get away from this thing, but also onto the other side of the ship. Uh, down to about here. Away from this slap ship move that she has. And I want to hold a spell when Lucius comes out of the thing. Windows Defender was trying to protect you there, Quill, I think.

I want to cast a 7th level Mask Your Wounds when Lucius comes out and heal everybody. Okay, nice. heal wounds when Lucius comes out and they heal everybody. Okay. Nice. So you're holding your action to cast a spell. You know that means you basically are concentrating on that spell. Does it?

Yeah. So what spell would you like to lose? I'll drop Shield of Faith. Okay. I mean, if you're going to do that at the end of your turn, Quill, I'm going to hit you with a lightning bolt out of Zephia's eyes. She can see you beginning to cast this spell,

and she's going to try and blast you. Does she make an attack roll? She does. She rolls six SIX! Cool, 17 to hit. Son of a shield! No wait, I'm using my reaction to... I believe you've already used your reac-

Oh no, you've got your reaction back. Yeah, you'd be using your reaction to cast Thingy. And Concentrating as well? My god. Well, okay. Shit. Fine. How many stacks do you have? One. Okay.

Sure. That's going to be 24 points of lightning damage. Oh my god. And a concentration save. Actually, no, hang on. The DC, because there's another... And a concentration save. Actually, no, hang on the DC, because there's another...

28 with the 4 thunder damage. Okay. So what's the DC? So DC's 14. Come on! 9. Well, I'm going to lose concentration on Beacon of Hope then. Okay. All right.

Kim, what was your question? I just rolled two concentration checks with Warcaster on Fast Step because Fast Step is concentration. Is it because you did 30 points of damage to me, so what do I need to pass to keep concentration? DC 15. It's half the damage or 10 if it's... I rolled a 15. All right, so you pass.

I rolled a 15. You keep fast step. I thought I'd lost it. Okay, cool. That's all right. Thank you. You have. Carry on.

So Quill, you lose the Beacon of Hope. Sentry. Cool. So last turn I forgot to roll for concentration on Snaggering Smite, but I was going to lose it anyway. Okay. You've used it anyway, so... Yeah, you used it, so last turn I forgot to roll for concentration on Staggering Smite, but I was gonna lose it anyway. You've used it anyway, so yeah, you used it. Cool, so I'm gonna use Pathway Movement to get up, move 5, 10, 15, and then Misty Step to Nova, 5, 10, 15, 10 15 20 20 up to here

Can I then grab note? Can I? You can I need you to make make a deck saving throw century as soon as you enter the area of this whirlwind you are Being battered by like pieces of the ship that are being pulled up. You're being battered by the winds First time on a turn that it enters the Whirlwind or that the Whirlwind enters its base. So as soon as you arrive in the Whirlwind, it's a deck saving throw. Doesn't Misty Step go through it?

Like right through it? No, no, she's... I was teleporting through it. Yeah, I see what you mean. No, no, you're teleporting on the outside of it. I guess I imagined you kind of going to a different location. I imagined you going to... I thought you were going to here or something.

Yeah. I've now cocked myself by doing that. There we go. Yeah, okay, so if you're teleporting outside the Misty, then you don't need to make the deck saving throw. You can certainly try and make a strength to grab. Yeah, you can make a strength to grab Nova for sure. Yeah, like hold on to the mast and try and keep us us both with my weight yeah i mean yeah well like you're strong

enough you don't need to you don't even necessarily need the mast but for aesthetics versions yeah you can be like holding on to a piece of the ship and trying to reach up and grab her nice strength chair yeah i guess this would be yeah you'd be making a strength check against the dc nat 20 yeah yeah you can can kind of reach up and in your giant form you manage to grab hold of Nova and pull her out of this whirlwind. Nice. Would reaching into it

trigger the spell? She's large. She is. That means she's still sticking her hand into the whirlwind. Yeah, I didn't know that. I don't mind. I know you don't mind. I'm trying to think of what's fair and i'm trying to think of like when it in the turn that i turn that it enters the whirlwind or that the whirlwind enters its space i mean you're not

entering it i'd say no i'd say no not for now okay so that's your flailing arm on the outside i would say that would be an action. I would say that would... That's the downside, right? It's like, that's your whole turn to grip, grab a piece of the ship reaching and try and pull Nova free. Yeah. So I'd double check.

But yeah, that's good. That's my turn. Okay. Can you show... Okay, yeah, cool. That was Sentry's go. You done ago you done century I'm done. Yeah. All right Maximilian is going to Man like getting close to the melee fight is gonna be tricky for him because he's gonna stand up from prone And then he's going to stand up from prone um and then he is going to

he's going to ready himself so he's going to call out like uh you see him kind of like pointing his sword at zephyr it's going to glow with light and he begins kind of projecting like a beam of light basically and he's just like the next one of you that attacks, call to me when you're making a powerful attack against her. I will guide your strike. And he's going to basically, yeah, when somebody wants to make a big attack, he can use a guided attack against them, which will give you a big bonus to the attack roll.

So if anyone's going to miss, he can give you a bonus. Lucius, you pop back into existence. Hello. Oh, wait. Before Lucius, I forgot this last time. Before Lucius does at the end of the turn, Zephir brings her scimitar down. She's going to slam the side of the ship.

You'll appear after this, Lucius. You're still in the safe space when you do this. I want to do a thing to stop it. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, every creature is slid 15 feet towards the side of the ship. 5, 10, 15. Sentry, you may be going off. Everyone else... Over the ropes, then.

Yeah, the ropes will help. 5, 10, 15. 5, 10, 15. 5, 10, 15. And you've moved yourself, have you, Quill? Yeah, I just did mine, yeah. Cool. Can you make a deck saving throw then, Sentry, or have advantage because of the ropes being there? Okay, okay.

Lucius will bring you back. One. What? You're strong. You lifted Sentry once before. 19 and 23. All right. So 23 is the highest one? Yeah.

Yeah, you managed to just, like, stop yourself on this netting that Nova and the others who, well, Nova had prepared before the highest one. Yeah. Yeah, you managed to just like stop yourself on this netting that Nova and the others who, well, Nova had prepared before the fight began. You kind of throw yourself, you know, wrap your arms around it, managing to stop yourself from falling into the ocean.

Nova safety system. Yeah. Then Lucius pops back into existence. Quam! I do my move. Quam! Quam! I heal my move. Wham! Wham! I heal for everyone heals for 26, I believe.

No. Oh, you rolled it. Okay. Yeah. I thought you maxed it. Oh, everyone within 30 feet. Is Sentry? Yes, she is.

Yeah. 26 healing to everyone. 26 HP. Oh, nice. Thank you. you I'm way better would be gonna hope a life would have been it would have been yeah Lucius I can get to century with normal movement if she's still over the side she's not falling off right she's not successful she's like yeah she's successful she's so she's just normal.

No, no detriment. Just chill back. I notice the Sentry's over the side again. Oh, bloody hell. There's also a giant whirlwind. There's also now a giant whirlwind. Yep. Just trying to keep my hat on.

And I put down an arm. Try and help Sentry. Here we go again. Okay. Let's go. You're going to help me out this time. I will. I'll dig my feet in and try and push up and try and help you.

Strength check, right? Sure. This is just to pull her up from being prone, by the way. She's not over the side. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, eh, eh. Okay.

Sentry then just stands up. Right. I thought you were more over the edge at that point. I mean, you asked and I said, no, she's fine. Yeah. It was a conversation. I know Trot is also doing with a lot of things. I'm going to try and give him too much. He's doing a lot.

He's doing a lot. I have no excuse. I'm quickening my spell again so I don't waste the entire turn. Okay. And I'm gonna... I was gonna do something cool. This is why it threw me. I was gonna wall of ice the whole side.

That would have been cool. It would have been, wouldn't it? I just want you to know that. That could have happened. So instead, I'm gonna fucking... What am I gonna do? Chromatic orb. Just retconned it from not listening.

Sure. All right. 26 to hit. 26 hits. I'm gonna cast that at seventh level, Mark. So here we go. Ding dong. 98.

I'd prefer if you said what level you were casting it at before you rolled yes thank you i was on the button to do it at that no i know i trust you so that's 45 with the modified ones this orb strikes a fear and again you see like the the ice kind of crossed over and this time it doesn't really break away as easily you see her kind of favoring that injured side as the ice spreads all over her her torso um heavily wounded decremency of 12 points 12 points to her or nova yeah zephyr sure yeah i mean there's nothing really else to strike there's there's Or Nova. Yeah, Zephia. Sure, yeah. I mean, there's nothing really else to strike. There's nothing else that you can attack.

Oh, you could, yeah, it's true. Kill Nova off. All right, end of turn, Lucius. She's had our touch. Yeah, I'm done. Yeah, me as well. All right. For the lair action,

the waves continue to heavily rock the boat. I need everyone to make an acrobatics check please rock the boat a natural 20 it doesn't matter I'm a ranged spellcaster 23

23 11 who got below basically 19 I've got an 8 I think that's below 19. Alright, so Nova and Sentry and Lucius. Yep. Anybody who got below 19, you are prone. You're knocked prone again

as the waves kind of surge all over the ship. Spent a whole action on that. Yep. Washed to the floor. Aayla. yep washed to the floor Taylor cool do I have to do anything to get out of this

side of this whirlwind you succeeded your check a creature must make a dexterity through the first time on a turn that it enters the whirlwind or that the whirlwind enters its space including when the whirlwind first appears so no I actually think you're okay it doesn't say at the start oh when a creature starts it's restrained by the whirlwind so no you're fine you're kind of like buffeted by the

wind but right otherwise you're not caught up in it cool bam uh smack please yep i figured um that is a 25 to hit. 25 hits. 16 damage on the harrow. And then the next one is a 24 to hit. 24 hits. Which is a... Ooh. 22 damage for the hammer.

22 points of damage. Hey, so same thing. She's going to use a reaction to knock you back 30 feet, Ayla. And you have just one stack, don't you? Yeah. So... That's going to be a whopping one lightning damage okay i'll move myself and then seven thunder damage and then you are pushed back 30 feet into the world ah into the whirlwind um creature must make a dexterous and throw the first time on a turn that it enters the whirlwind.

Oh, can you make a deck save, please, Ayla? You're muted. She's doing math. 18. 18's not enough, unfortunately. So you are bludgeoned. So you're going to make a strength saving throw. You're going to take some bludgeoning damage. You're going are budging so you're gonna make a strength saving through you can take some bludgeoning damage you're gonna half this because you're raging so 36 you're gonna take 18 bludgeoning and then a

strength saving through no that's already half 18 oh yeah it was 36 I saved my strength save I got 13 plus 12. Yeah, yeah. You're fine. So you're kind of buffeted around and knocked around, but you are not restrained. The wind doesn't keep Pinu in place. Yeah, she throws you back.

End of your turn, Ayla. Yep, got nothing else. Okay, a very desperate-looking Zephir now. You can see kind of like tears running down her face, just in desperation, just like, I don't want to go! And she is going to do a couple of things. First things first, this Whirlwind.

Whoosh! I need Nova, Lucius, and Sentry to all make deck saving throws. She gestures with a hand, and the Whirlwind... Lucius. Can I counterspell it? No. It is already in existence. You cannot counterspell it once it's here.

It's also technically not a spell. It's part of her thing. You do get plus three. Fifteen. It's technically part of the domain. It's not actually a spell. Ten. Fifteen? Ten? Century? Fourteen. It's technically part of the domain. It's not actually a spell. 10. 15?

10? Century? 14. All right, you're all taking max damage, and I need strength-saving throws from all of you. Max damage. Oh! Max damage. That's 30 points of bludgeoning damage to everyone.

Ooh! Okay. And then how do we do on strength saving throws? 18 18 5 You are all restrained and you are slowly being lifted into the centre of this whirlwind Lift it up

Oh my god Oh my dnd Get a refresh on that baby Oh my god. Oh, my D&D is the oldest. You stay. Get a refresh on that, baby. And then in the middle, she's going to slam her two scimitars together and she cuts a wide beam, creating a kind of blade of wind that's going to strike Aayla, Max, and Quill right down the middle. Oh my god, I was waiting for that.

That's a dex saving throw. Yep, dex saving throw. It's not too bad. I'd say it's not too bad. It's a plus two. Nine again! 24. I rolled a 19. 24 off. 24. Yeah, it's half damage for Ayla. I need to roll for Max.

Nine is my unlucky number. Max is also going to take full damage on this. So this is thunder damage, Ayla, so no resistance on this, I'm afraid. 10d6. Yep. I've lost fast health, by the way. 41 points of thunder damage! Oh! And everyone is pushed back 25 feet. So... Oh, god. I can everyone is pushed back 25 feet. Oh, God.

I can only go 15 on the boat. Yeah. 25, then I think Max is in phase 2 of 10. Yeah, this is it. You've got another 10 phases to go. But no, you're kind of thrown to the back, slamming against Valor's shield quill. You and Max kind of pressed against it

by this blade of thunder that just courses down the center of the ship. You can see that parts of the ship from the whirlwind have been broken and smashed and they are slowly, but you can see that this kind of effect of Valor is desperately trying to restore the ship to its form, but it's taking longer to kind of like, you know, reverse the effects and she can't quite counter all of the damage being done by Zephir. That was her action. As a bonus action, I need to see if she recharges.

Tom, can you roll a d6 for me, please? Sure, pal. Love you. Thanks, buddy. One doesn't recharge. Her Cry of the Sea does not recharge. NovaVeja, you are currently in a whirlwind, are you not? Yeah, I'm looking real spicy. When it starts its turn you are currently in a whirlwind, are you not? Yeah, I'm looking real spicy. When it starts its turn, restrained by the whirlwind, you are pulled

five feet up into the air. So you rise five feet up into the air. You can use an action to make a strength or dexterity check against your spell save DC. You're going to fucking teleport out, though, unless you failed your concentration check on that. I failed my concentration check on fast step, but I have like a billion other teleports, so...

There you go. You'll be all right then. So yeah, it's an action to try and basically resist the whirlwind sucking you into the air, basically. Okay. But yeah, you're about five feet up in the air at this point. You're being like lifted up. Can I? I'm just wondering

if I can cast Arcane Gate in here and in a way that it will catch all of us. So can I almost have it above us so as they're lifted? No. It's only a five foot space, right? So you could catch yourself. It won't catch Century

and Lucius. You could definitely use it to free yourself but their movement is so erratic. They're like next to you like they're being lifted up like you don't know if they're gonna rise up into the same area that you're going up to also doesn't it have to be affixed to something yeah yeah you are five feet in the air arcane gate won't work you have nothing to affix it to affix it to your hand high five everyone and suck them into your whole hand what Tom said whole hand

it's not big enough you'd need a hand that was five foot wide sentry can I anchor it on sentry nope I am going to can I grab Lucius and

cast Dimension Door to get us out of here? I would say to grab Lucius, you have to make a deck saving throw because, again, you're like being... This is Wizards of the Oz stuff. You need to like reach out and try and grab him. A deck saving throw? Ooh. I actually rolled a dice of some value. Got a plus three as well. Mm-hmm. A dex saving throw? Ooh! Yeah.

I actually rolled a dice of some value. Got a plus three as well. 20... Okay, 19. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Yeah, you can grab Lucius, yeah, Dimension Door. I'm sorry, Sentry! And as I'm whizzing around... Sorry for what? I'll just, yeah, as It's all good. Sorry for what?

I'll just, yeah, as he goes, sorry for what, I'll grab his foot and zip a dimension door and plop us down. Where do we want to go, Lucius? Where do we want to go? Let's just leave the plane. Let's go. Where do we go now? I'm going to move us sort of to the front of the ship next to the mast.

Mast? Yeah. Sure. Right in front of Zephia. Lovely. Yeah. Yeah, I know. But she's got like so many attacks that go up and down the length of the ship.

It's not really safe wherever we go. True. It's very true. It's like I designed it that way. It's no safe space. I know, right? It's like you thought about this. End of turn.

I've got... Can I drink a potion, please? Is that a bonus action for me to drinky? Yeah, that's how we always rule it. I would like to chug... I would like to chug... I'll roll it. A potion of superior healing.

So superior is... Oh, that's the, is it 60? 8d4 plus 8. Yeah, 8d4 plus 8. Yep. I've got it for you here. Yeah, I'll roll it. Cool. 26 hit points.

And that's that plus 8 as well. And then, yeah, plus 8, so 34. 34. 34. Thank you, math. Thanks. Thank D&D Beyond. End of your turn. That is the end of my turn.

Yes. And am I no longer restrained and prone? You are not restrained. You are not prone because you teleported. So, yeah, you're all good. That me, BB. Cool. At the end of your turn i'm going to use one of her mythic actions called heart of the storm nova you watch as you and lucius well around you nova it seems to be uh is a ball of lightning a sphere of lightning uh begins to grow around you uh no very in fact that's actually a bit too big whoops

yeah all our lightning so it begins to like around you um after one full turn. Cool. Keelik. Okay. This is fine. This is fine. I am going to cast heal on myself. 70 healing. I am low.

Lucius. Very low. Whilst this is happening, can I try and chromatic control that? Very low. Whilst this is happening, can I try and chromatic control that? Hmm.

And then use it to try and absorb it into my gauntlet by converting it into cold. I need to look up some here. I need to look up how that gauntlet works. When a magical effect... This is chromatic control. When a magical effect that deals fire, acid, lightning, poison, cold, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, is used within 60 feet of me, I can use a reaction to spend three sorcery points

to change that to match a dichromancy choice. Yeah, you can do that. That's fine. If you've got the sorcery points in your reaction, you can do that. The only thing is I probably won't be able to do the same. Yeah, it's going to be a bonus action, I assume, or a secondary reaction. It's on the gauntlet, dude. It is, yeah. What's it say?

When a magical effect. It's on the gauntlet, dude. Like, what's it say? When a magical effect. Doesn't say when. Once per turn. I have to make a charisma ability check if it's fourth level or higher. This is the problem with a lot of... When a magical effect that deals acid or cold damage, you can attempt to draw it. So when it goes to deal damage then you can absorb it it says in the uh sort of like

second big paragraph okay when a magical effect such as a spell or supernatural ability that deals acid or cold damage you can attempt to draw the energy of that spell into the gauntlet's prison spells so can i convert it for now as a reaction you can convert it for now and then when it goes to deal damage you can attempt to absorb it yes okay if it does damage if it does all right i anticipated showing damage all right so you spend your reaction you spend the three sorcery points and you turn it into what acid or cold damage cold please cold please all right all right key look so that was reaction on nova's to the legendary action at the end of Nova's turn. Now we go to Keelix's turn.

I move forward 30 healing. You cast heal on yourself. And I cast heal for 70 healing on myself. So I was really low. Perfect. And I'll use a bonus action to recover a third level spell slot as well. Okay. Okay. Lucius and no who's got lots of stacks on them who's got stacks and stacks stacks and stuff clean i know nova's got some ayla's only got one century you've got three haven't you

yeah yeah uh let's put a tether between you and lucius century um i've got three, haven't you? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Let's put a tether between you and Lucius, Sentry. I've got to go high five Sentry in a tornado? Mm-hmm. All right, here we go. So at the end of Cool's turn, I'm going to create a tether between Sentry and Lucius. Sentry's turn. You are restrained as you are in the whirlwind, Sentry. You get lifted five feet up into the air,

and then you can either use an action to make a strength or dexterity check, so not saving throw, this is a strength or dexterity check, so just d20 plus the modifier to try and break free. That's it. Alright, I'll do a check then. I'll do a check to try and break out. Ear angle! It's an actual 20! Nice! I'll do a check to try and break out. Ear angle!

It's a natural 20. Nice! Oh my god. So, yeah, you managed to kind of like, almost like air swim your way out, right? You kind of like punch the air and kind of throw yourself to the side. So, if successful, the creature is no longer restrained by the whirlwind. Instead, you are hurled 3d6 times 10 feet in a random direction. Random direction?

Okay, cool. And that's the correct response. So you are going 120 feet in a random direction. Doesn't matter, she's gone. She is gone.

I'm gone. It doesn't matter what direction you go. No, it really doesn't. Can I go up straight into the hornet? That seems a bit punishing for saving. If successful... I mean, this is... I'm using the spell Whirlwind to replicate a whirlwind.

If successful, the creature is no longer restrained. The thing is like I was like oh is it like 3d6 times 10 12 times 10 is 120 yeah I'm like I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing this wrong so yeah yeah like that's nuts

the only way you're gonna be okay is if you roll a 5 or a 6 on the direction I think because then you'll hit I rolled a 5 yeah so it goes straight down right also you're a large creature so on the direction, I think. Because then you'll hit Vala's shield. Really? I rolled a five. Yeah. So it goes straight down, right? Also, you're a large creature, so this kind of fucks with it as well. One, two, three, four, five.

Yeah, straight down. So, like, you basically get thrown, slammed into the Vala's wall. That is so lucky. It's so lucky. But it is a ton of damage because you take 1d6 for 10 feet of full damage as well. Oh, Christ. I mean, you're not in the ocean, in the middle of nowhere.

You're not in the ocean, the stormy mega primordial ocean. Instead, you just take 41 points of bludgeoning damage sentry. All right. As you slam into it, and, like, you probably grab on to, like, the side of the ship that, like, Valor's, like, you know, creating the shield around and you're hanging on to it as, like, you get thrown backwards out of this whirlwind. That's, like, the best I would like to pull bullshit on. Yeah. Take it up with Wizards and Jeremy, man.

I will. That is terrible. I mean, like I said, like, I rolled 3d6, like, I rolled quite high, but, yeah, that is terrible. I mean, like I said, I rolled 3d6. I rolled quite high, but yeah, that's nuts. Even the average would send you miles. Yeah. I imagine if it's on land, it's not too bad. Yeah, in on land, this is fine.

Yeah. Well, you say that, but if you impact it into something, because the way I'm seeing that is because you're being thrown directly back into an obstacle right that's why you're going to take all that damage because it's like falling sideways if you would like being sort of like thrown into the ocean maybe that probably would have reduced it a little bit or like something like that but like yeah it's pretty nuts very i mean it is a high level spell like this is like a seventh level spell i'm using it to create a magic whirlwind. I want it. How do I get that spell?

Alright. Well, that was your action sentry. You still technically have a move and a bonus action. That is true. I'm going to bonus action. Hang on. Harness divine power. I'm going to regain a level 2 spell slot because I'm fresh out of those.

So I'll get one of those back as a bonus action. And then I'll move into the ship. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. So I'm up there. I'm going to move up there. Okay. Sure. That's my turn. Thank you. That's your turn. At the end of your turn,

Sentry Zephyr is going to make a scimitar strike against Lucius, who you are currently tethered to. Sorry, it won't hit. It's 28. Yeah, it hits. So, let me just do the base weapon damage. So this is gonna be 9. 16 points of slashing damage to you lucius how many stacks do you have currently none none you gain one okay um century you how many do you have currently three so you're going to take uh 3d8 lightning damage 3d8 thunder damage and then

you gain another one in my area so she takes half Lightning damage. Alright, that's good to know, thank you. So I can do this as separate. So this is gonna be... This is the Lightning damage, it's half, so you're gonna take 4 Lightning damage. And then 16 Thunder damage. And then you gain another stack. Lucius,

you've gained a stack as well so you're at one yeah um and bam uh seeing that happen uh maximilian is still kind of like holding the sword to try and guide the strike he is going to cast a fourth level healing word on century so 44 plus his charisma modifier so plus three uh 10 points of hp max is getting the the quill curse uh of low level healing yeah healing word curse so bonus action who's he in century he can he'll cast firebolt why not not? Is it Max Heal? It went Max Heal, no. He healed Century.

He healed Century. Thank you. Lucius. Nice. I will take a break, but you're very close to the end, so we'll either do this round if she's not dead by the end of this round. We'll take a break.

Can I run towards Sentry but this side of the mast teasing this thing to hurt me? Sure. I mean, it doesn't. Damn it. It's growing. You can see it getting bigger and bigger. Technically, it should be a bit bigger now.

20, 25, 30. Actually can't quite reach sentry she got a reach though of like 10 feet not for this not for the purposes of dispelling the tether no you have to be next to it's reaching out this is the tether and uh you'll spin around then and then do another Chromatic Orb at Zephia. Okay, what level before you roll? I'm just looking. I'm going to do a fifth. Sixth level. I'm just going to use it all up.

Sixth level Chromatic Orb, please. This is the time to use it for sure. I'm going to use my... it's 20 just barely hits okay ding dong okay and now i'm gonna do max damage now so that's 88 64 here it comes okay that's oh my god it's really bad 38 points by eight points Sid oh you ignore resistance, don't you? It doesn't say where like one half of the fear has been coated in thick rhyme The other half is now scarred and and you know sizzling with acid and you can see like she's like, ah

No, not like this Good no not like this good it's like a bit of a kind of resignation as well sure how much 11 11 more points in the eyes I don't do the end of your turn Lucius yes the lair action will just be... Yeah, this is just an acrobatics check from everybody. Waves begin washing against the sea. Yep, the old jostle. Um... DC is 19. If you get less than 19, you're prone.

Nice. Oh, I'm prone. 21. I'm prone. All right. If you're 19 or lower, you're prone. Otherwise, you're prone. 21. I'm prone. Alright. If you're 19 or lower, you're prone. Otherwise, you're standing. It's glowing. Ayla. Prone.

So, where Nova's standing, can you hit her from there? Because she's so big. Uh, you need to be one closer than from where Nova is. Fucker. I'm literally one square off of being able to attack her properly it's almost like i put in pushback moves because i was like go away melee go away damn you ayla damn you century be gone 60 points of damage in a single hit fucking what if i was

what if i got to that point but i was higher up and i tried to slice her at the arm um no i'm gonna say like like her arm token is not necessarily an exact replica of what's going on there's a lot of like hand waving but imagine that she's on the end of the ship if you can't get into that that that line of space just at north of nova you you can't reach her even though she's in this giant form I throw the hammer is please throw it multiple times I think you can I've got charges on my hammer yeah yeah that's right yeah okay that was it i was trying to remember how i changed it yeah so that's gonna be uh 16 plus 14 to hit 30 hits yeah

uh that's gonna be 30 40 50 20 points of damage but that's all i could do the damage watches this hammer flies through the air kind of catches her in the chest and you can see this thick silvery blood kind of pouring down the front of her sailor's shirt as the hammer is left like this heavy sort of like

almost like wound in the middle and like you can see blood pouring down her and her movements turn quite sluggish and slow she kind of like coughs and like silvery blood comes out the corner of her mouth she starts laughing uh and ayla is that all you got this term i can't do anything else can't do anything else right this is zeffyephyr's last turn. She's going to. She just laughs and laughs. Well, if this is the end of my adventure,

let's just make it one hell of an ending. And she is going to. Let's see if a bunch of stuff recharges. Windblade recharges. Oh, no. Cry of the Sea recharges. Windblade. Recharges. Oh, no. Cry of the Sea. Recharges. How many people can I hit?

Everybody but Ayla. I need everybody but Ayla to make a deck saving throw as she slams the two big heavy scimitars together and cuts through the air, launching a blast of thunder. Can Lucius get plus three? Okay, if you get less than 19 all right you're taking half damage nova 11 for century damage all damage damage religious full damage for uh quill what about old maxi full damage for maxi as well 10 thunder damage

33 points of thunder damage, everybody. Max drops unconscious. Max is unconscious. Max is unconscious. 33 halved would be 16. That is her action. As a bonus action, she lets out that screech, the sound of ships breaking, of storms thundering down.

Everybody make a charisma saving throw, please. Oh, my God, this could be it. Yeah. 21. Thank God. 21. 29. 29.

Century. Plus three. 16. 29. Century? Plus three. 16. 16. Ayla? 15. Is it plus three, Century, or not? Yeah, it'll be plus three.

10. 10. All right, anybody who got less than 19. So, Century, how many stacks do you have? Four. Four, right. Are you within auras? No.

I've got 14 HP. Do you? 31 points of damage. You're down. I'm down. Sentry goes down. Book of Shadows. Oh yeah, Book of Shadows.

Whoa! You go to one hit point. Quill, how many stacks you got? One. All right, just the one. That's going to be six points of damage total. And then Ayla, you've got one as well. It's not going to be very much for Ayla.

Three points of light. That's already halved. And then the thunder damage. Two points of thunder damage. So three lightning, two thunders only five points of damage so i think everybody else succeeded max is unconscious oh but i do need to technically still make a saving throw for him 17 he actually succeeds on that so he does not take gathering gathering storm energy so bonus action action nova vija this orb that is on me can i experimentally move and see if it moves with me yep it does do you want to make an arcana check to figure out

what it's going to do yes i would like to 15 plus 8 at the end of your turn, this orb is going to explode around you. I would like to... Teleport using Misty Step. Am I going to do that? I basically... I'll just tell you what I want to do. I want to go up to Zephyr and have it explode and damage her as well as me. Okay.

You can just move up to her. You just move step five foot forward and you'll do that. All right. You still have your action and stuff, by the way. Is there a way that I could hold my action to teleport away as it explodes? Yes. It's called using your reaction. Yeah, you just say, when this thing's about to go off, I'm going to teleport away.

I will do that then, using Misty Step. Can we not just say, I'll use a reaction to avoid this attack with Misty Step? I mean, yeah. Like if someone goes to attack me, I'll Misty Step away as a reaction. You could say that when somebody steps within five foot of me, yes, or somebody makes an attack roll against me, I'm going to Misty Step away. But remember, holding an action with a spell

is concentrating on the spell. So if you take any damage before that happens, if somebody shot you with an arrow or something, you could absolutely be like, I'm going to hold my action and when they move up to attack me, I'm going to teleport away. You could absolutely do that. But don't forget, they could then be like, oh, well, you've teleported 30 feet away.

I've still got 30 feet of movement. Let's say they still had 30 feet of movement. They could then just move 30 feet and attack you again if they had two attacks. You know, whatever. whatever you could do that So okay, so no VC you you at the end so at the end of your turn this thing detonates and you teleport on fast You think it's probably gonna do nothing because I feel like she's gonna be immune but this cold thing is it's moving with me

Oh, it's cold cuz you changed it Yes It's cold. The thing is, it's moving with me. Oh, it's cold because you changed it. Yes. So I just wanted to get it off me. So yeah, I will teleport away as soon as it detonates. All right. So you teleport away as soon as it detonates. We won't move you because you're underneath this thing. Lucius, did you want to try and absorb this thing

or are you going to let it go off? Seeing what Nova's doing, I'm going to let it go off. All right. Okay. How big's the explosion? Very interesting. The explosion is... Well, I'm going to wait for Nova to finish moving.

A 30-foot back. That's only 20 feet. Is that 20? Mm-hmm. No. Cool. I think that's 30 it's very good because it's a 20 foot radius around this thing so the only person that's gonna

fear an Aayla Aayla that's a con saving throw I'm not even gonna make it for does it count as my spell if I've converted it? 26. So here's the thing. I don't think it does.

You've converted it, but it's not your spell. Technically, this isn't a spell. This is a magical effect. It's not your spell. Okay. How much? 26. 26, okay.

Yep. You can take half damage. 26, okay. I have a plus 10 to come. Yep, you can take half damage. How much damage does this thing do? 23 points of cold damage to Aayla. Half, sorry, because you've made the save,

so that's only going to be 11 points of cold damage. But you watch as Nova, you kind of like rush up, this kind of energy building around you. You look up at Zephir and then you and appear next to lucius uh and and quill and century as you watch as this this now ball of ice that was once lightning this now kind of like frozen tree of ice that has been growing and swelling explodes outwards into kind of long icicle like like vines almost like made of ice it just kind of rips outwards. Ayla kind of ducks to the side and takes a blow to the shoulder

that kind of freezes parts of her shoulder but easily shrugs it off. But most of it is directed up and it impales Zephir in multiple places. She just turns and kind of casts an eye over all of you as you can see the slow setting in of of death kind of fall over oh well all adventures have to come to an end sometime she looks towards where valor's shield is well done little sister she looks at all of you well done champions give callous an ass kicking for me Well done, little sister. She looks at all of you. Well done, champions. Give Kallus an ass-kicking for me.

You watch as the body, the silver blood, the kind of sailor form that Zephyr takes transforms into blowing wind. Currents begin sweeping through. The storm that the sea you are on dissipates becoming that still calm sea that you saw and as the wind kind of blows over you you hear laughter you hear this kind of like uh outrageous reckless laughter uh echo and there is rain but it's not normal rain gold coins silver coins jewels pieces of art begin raining down from the wind this kind of collected treasures of the sea of adventures kind of falling with it um including a very uh very intricate uh and radiating with powerful energy suit of a chain mail shirt also like kind

of like forms around the hull the boat begins turning with the wind as the wind kind of catches it and it begins pulling it away as the fear is defeated and that's where we're going to take a very needed break um sorry to keep that one more, but I knew how close you were. How much damage from... bludgeoning damage from all these coins and things raining from the sky. It forms like around you guys. No, it's almost like... It's almost like... In fact, yeah, Sentry's on one hit point now.

It's like it's avoiding you. It's kind of like raining down and forming in piles around the ship basically. And you just hear that laughter kind of like trail away as the wind dissipates out. How's everyone's health looking? Because that was getting real dicey at the end there. I mean, Sentry's on one. 27.

126. Yeah, Aayla barely took any. 27 as well. I know I did take, I still took a decent chunk of it. I mean, that's half your hit points. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Also being like resistant to lightning was like a huge, like Aayla was like, yeah,

just avoiding tons of damage from resistance to lightning. Didn't get that many stacks on her. I mean, Nova definitely, because you got healed a few times, I think, because Quill did some. Yeah, if I hadn't taken that superior healing potion, I would have been donezo. Ow.

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it's all the superior healing potion, I would have been donezo. Ow. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it's all the superior healing potion. Well done, potions. Max is down. I'm assuming Quill can literally spare the dying or healing word, Max, and he's fine. Yeah, no, just healing word. Just the gold goes through his head and out the other side.

Rip a roomie. Oh, well. No. But no, a titan who is very much built around storms and adventure there's definitely you get the sense

that the gold is kind of a little nod of like you know there has to be there has to be some treasure at the end of an adventure so

nice Zephia's Zephia's essence lets that makes that a thing but yeah we're going to take a real quick break we'll come back

we probably won't go super long we. We're just going to kind of have the after effects of this battle. I'm assuming you guys want to talk about it. Probably talk to Valor and examine stuff. But yeah, we'll take a real quick break and then we'll come back and just do that stuff. Nice. Awesome. What a great battle. What a great battle was had by all.

I'm pooped. I will say actually, Mark, if you're still there doing this different style of boss fight i know that you were it's a brand new style completely the final fantasy 14 style sure but like actually yeah but making movements based on moves we've seen her do was awesome it was so cool of like i've seen her do this win slash move so i don't want to stand in a big group because yeah he's gonna kill me with that thing or not going to the edges because she's gonna slap the boat and stuff like that slap the boat exactly and that's why they do it in mmos

right like they they teach you through repetition so it's like right i've seen them do this move we when they do this thing i need to move out the way and i like that i think that that's really fun i enjoy that in video games um and something to know like something we can prepare for as well when you're against a regular boss with random spells and we don't know what he can do then it's just like oh okay he's just cast fireball i didn't know he could do that uh so also yeah i was talking a little bit about this in the discord because actually like for these big boss fights i actually think it's quite boring to just give them the same spells and abilities that you guys have access to like sure i could have a big bad evil guy cast because actually, for these big boss fights, I actually think it's quite boring to just give them the same spells

and abilities that you guys have access to. Sure, I could have a big bad evil guy cast Disintegrate and stuff like that on you guys, but actually, I think that that's kind of lame. I'd rather give you more interesting abilities that you've never seen before, but can learn throughout the fight and be like, right, okay, we need to avoid this, and she's going to do this move.

But you don't exactly know what she's going to do. You just know that they have access to certain things and they can do certain things like that i thought it worked quite like really well i thought it was and i kind of tested it with like the the trial of time in like the temple of hesper and we've done similar kind of stuff before like i i like trialing that stuff really so nice well i loved it.
