Last time, our heroes were fighting a pair of giant construct guardians in the Caldera of Volcanos in the Hawk's Dawn Archipelago as they seek to descend and plant a crystal device that's going to help sort out all the problems. We are in the middle of combat, or are we anymore? After Century just did a very clever little play.

Yeah, the oscillating boy. The oscillating boy. or are we anymore after century just did a very clever little play yeah we also late in boydians we do still have one of these guardians floating about 100 feet up in the air and we start at the very top of the round with just gonna just gonna I thought Chris Trott that we just roll with it and we just carry on that's the professional thing to do. You just carry on. Don't make a big deal out of it. Before the stream, Trott was like, if we have any weird noises,

just pretend, just ignore it. Just keep going, keep going. It's so much worse. Just keep going. Carry on. I'm trying to. You brought it up. To be fair, it does happen quite often.

I'm a burpy guy we can't mute it anymore i know i don't i didn't mute it anyway you're gonna hear all our noises yeah all of them all of them you know no no bonus action manifest yangon again coming back constantly you need a short rest to get these back as a point no when you manifest it's you don't oh don't you it's just the extra attacks it's all of that it's just a bonus action yeah but i can manifest them as many times as i want so get back here boy coming back where you want them um 15 feet i don't know just somewhere 15 feet on the hard rock on the hard rock don't make him do a saving throw.

I asked you where you wanted them, and you were like, anywhere. I was like, okay. In the magma they go. In the magma. I'm really sorry about that, Tiangong, but you did really good at saving Quill just then. I mean, you were in charge.

I'm also Tiangong. It's okay. Are you thanking yourself? I am thanking myself. Yeah, I am. I can play Tiangong, but I've got other things to do. This is a really frantic conversation between both of their heads as well.

Very good. And I think as an action, I'm just going to... Yeah. The Protector hasn't made any attacks since... It definitely has taken on... Since Sentry issued that command to it, the Sentinel that was attacking seems to have just sort of stopped. And it no longer seems to be aggressive. command to it. The Sentinel that was attacking seems to have just sort of stopped.

And it no longer seems to be aggressive. Seems to be. I'm going to hold my action to Eldritch Blast if it does. If it attacks one of my allies, I will attack with Eldritch Blast. All right. We go to Quill. Then it will be that Sentinel. Then it's Aayla.

Okay. How's Valor's bubble looking? It basically is just enough to kind of like, with Max stood right next to her, it's just about encompassing Max and Valor. It's going to take her some time. Almost until the end of the encounter. But when does the encounter end?

That's a great question. Does it ever end? Well, there is still one hostile creature. The one oscillating 100 feet up in the air is still firing I-beams at whoever it can find. And it is super far away. It's 100 foot up in the air. Oh, I don't know what I can do with that thing.

Where am I? I'm upside down. How far is it in feet? 100. Yeah, I think it's out of range of all my bits. Not your bitties. So I will... Yeah, I think it's out of range of all my bits. Not your bitties. So I will, if... Yeah, if the regular boy, the now docile boy, decides to attack,

then I will Guiding Bolt it at level 3, and also I want to fly kind of up and around it, so I'm kind of behind it. I want to get everyone encircling this thing. Okay. So you're flying up on the edge. And also out of range of its... Punch. Wax.

Yeah, it's got quite a reach, so it'll be right up against the edge of the caldera. Nice. Okay. All right. Anything else, Quill? No, that is it for now. Okay, what do I do about this boy? Okay, so he's malfunctioning, but he has just received a direct order.

Hmm. How about... What is your spell save, DC Sentry? Just give me a rough number of... Spell save DC. Bam, bam, bam. Find it. Spell save 17.

17. Yeah, okay. I'll make a wisdom save. A wisdom save 17. 17. Yeah, okay. I'll make a wisdom save. A wisdom save for each round. If he fails, the commander's like, it's still going to follow whatever last commander, you know, you gave it, which is to stand down. If he passes, it's basically like the glitching

causes him to attack again, right? I think that seems reasonable. I think it's like a free charm stun sort of effect, but it's not a charm. Yeah, it's really cool. Because that didn't work for Portrop. No, so it just stays shut down. Hasn't received a new order.

Doesn't do anything else. Ayla. I will hold an action, and if it attacks one of my allies, I will attack it. Okay. Oscillating Construct is going to try and shoot it over again because that's all it can really do.

That is going to be a 31. No, yeah. Yeah, no. So, 40, 10 fire damage, half. So that's only going to be 13, half to 6 fire damage. And then pretty low rolls my guy and then 18 force damage so that would be 24

total which gives us a DC of 12 constitution for concentration 18, yep, pass, succeed and then yeah, 24 points of damage total Sentry um

can I try and Misty step onto that ledge opposite me four points of damage total. Century. Can I try and Misty Step onto that ledge opposite me and try and get closer to the... Not that one. That one, yes, please. Why? Just through the middle. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. You can get right next to it.

Okay. So you could get to here and then you could spend your movement to climb up. Yes, please. Yeah. Try and get closer to that oscillating stone. You are now 100 feet directly below it. Fun way of getting up.

Rope. Can I climb this like little precipice-y thing? The stalagmites. Yeah. Can I climb up on that? How tall is that roughly she's not gonna bounce there which direction is it oscillating i knew you're gonna ask this question so you think you could attach rope to it and then coil your way up

it randomly changes every round can you imagine that yeah because um it'd be cool to imagine. You can climb it and you'd be holding on. I can't put the miniature on there. But yeah, it's only going to get you another 10 feet off the ground. 10 feet, cool. 90 feet above. So if I were to, next turn, if I were to Misty Step 40 feet up,

so I'll give you 50, but including the 10, that would be 40. Would it hear me? You'd be 90 away. If you climb 10 feet up, you're 90 feet away. 30 feet misty step would make it 60 feet away from you. How far does something have to be for you to hear? I don't know. Okay.

I'll do that next turn. So I'll climb it up, misty step up, and then call out to it again. Okay. Same thing? Yeah. So you, I'll climb up, Misty Step up, and then call out to it again. Okay. Same thing? Yeah. You're just going to say the exact same thing? I'll try and do it, try the exact same thing next turn, yeah. Okay. Make a persuasion check.

See if you can get through to this one. Oh, I can do it now? Yeah. I mean, speaking's a free action. It's not an action to speak. Oh, you need to, you wanted to try Misty Step again, didn't you? Misty Step up, yeah. Yeah, okay.

In that case, you have to wait until next turn. Cool. All right. Nice. Lucius. A very burnt, badly hurt-looking Lucius. Limping. Oh.

So weak. Thank you very much. I'm no longer flying, and I'm probably further than 120 feet from it, right? From the oscillating one, yes, because you are at the bottom of the basin. So it's like you're about 140, 130 feet away, diagonally. On a scale of one to Killy, where are we at with this subdued one?

Um... You're like shouting over this bobbling, like, On a scale of one to Killy... I don't know, it could attack again? I'm not sure. Whilst I'm nodding and being like, okay, I'm throwing a Vitriolic Sphere at the oscillating one, which is 150 foot.

Yeah, still within range. I'm going to give it disadvantage on its dexterity saving throw because it can move, but it kind of can twist its body and that's about it. Now, six. Vitriolic Sphere. Yes. It can move, but it kind of can twist its body, and that's about it. Now, six.

Vitriolic sphere. Yes. I point at a location within range. Yes. Which means it just hits that. Yes. It's up in the air, and there's technically not a ground for it to hit. I'm thinking of hitting him.

Yeah. Do you want me to roll a spell hit? You can pick a point of air. It doesn't have to be ground it's a point it's a five foot space you can just pick up in the end failed yeah it failed it gets its deck saving throw so you don't need to check all right 10 d4 then yep acid damage right weep on sure it's actually uh it absorbs acid and that makes it stronger oh good that would be it's just calculating it and crashing my...

It's never been easy. 25. 25 points of acid damage, and you get another 5d4 at the start. That's correct. And I'm not going to dicromancy this boy. That'd be naughty. I'll hold action. At the end of the turn,

you do see Valor's spell is continuing to work. I'm going to roll a d6. That's one. Nothing happens this turn. Oh. Nova Vija. I'm going to think, following what Lucius is doing, I'm going to go, oh, yeah, and start Eldritch Blasting. Range on Eldritch Blasting, 150?

120. 120. You're on the rock yeah you're in range just this is on like the very kind of like cosmic range here 24 to hit 24 hits 13 points on the first last yes 14 this 22 just hits as in that is it's ac okay 14. Miss. 22. Just hits. As in, that is its AC. Okay. 22. Oh, wait, actually, no, it's plus 11, so 23. 23 to hit, and that is 15 points of damage on the third one. Yep, I got that one.

Yep, I got that one. 15, 25, 26 to hit. Yep, hits. Nine points of damage on the last one. Nine points of damage. These, like, little chips of force energy are, like, blasting its armor, kind of denting it and breaking off pieces of it.

But it's still, you know, barely injured. You can see even from, like, all these successive attacks, the armor melting away. You know, definitely is made of thick, sturdy stuff to have survived this long. We have Kelek. Then it's going to be the currently subdued one, then Aayla.

Nice. I want to get... Oh, I think I'm currently within 5, 10, 15... Oh, I can move, like... What range did you need? 30 feet to... Oh, yeah, you're within 30 feet where you are, yeah. What, to Lucius? Oh, to Lucius. Yeah, I think you're still within Lucius.

Yeah, pretty sure we are. Yeah, you are. 30, yeah. So I would like to cast Aura of Vitality. Okay. And in the same turn as a bonus action, I can use it. So it's a 2d6 healing to Lucius. Thank you. Bam.

Four. Four health. Wow. Do I feel that? Probably not. It's like a little tingling. Ooh. What was that? Lovely.

And that was my entire turn. Oh my god. All right. Subdued construct. Sorry for laughing. Failed saving through, so it's still in shutdown mode. Nice. Ayla.

I'm going to do the same again. I'm going to hold an action to, if it attacks one of my allies, I'll hit it. Yeah, I mean at the moment it definitely seems to have been completely... I think out of respect for Sentry knowing that it's a solvent thing, she's just kind of like... I'll stop! It's good because Nova had prepared and stuff like that, but now her turn's taken, so in case it does attack, you've still got at least one attack prepped on it.

Oscillating one. All it can do... It's purple. Oh, great oscillating one. It's on my turn. Yeah, start of it's turn, 54 extra. Still gonna make the attack roll again. Natural one. It thinks it's like...

Oh, it knows it has like a certain rotation and then at the last minute it goes the other way and it just like beams the guy. 12. thing out of fight you imagine English's with century then cool so I'm gonna use my last misty step and I'm gonna jump up 30 feet yeah 10 feet climb up 30 feet up 40 feet and then 50 feet away call out to this thing sure I'll make a persuasion check bash your leg that's not as good her seven unfortunately this one it does not seem to be getting through whatever is the os maybe it's the oscillations or something it just can't hear you left here then right here then left here it's magic brain has been scrambled by the movements but unfortunately this one does not

seem to be listening i will say if i fail another one on the the last one i think that that means that the program like the glitch is resolved and i won't keep it. Because I don't want to sit here making saving throws the whole time. If it fails one more, then it will be permanently subdued. Cool. If I succeed the next one, though, it's going to attack you. It's back on. It's back on. Oh, it's on. Lucius.

Anything else, Century, just to check? No, I'm good. Just land back down again. It's back to me already. Oh, that's actually true. Century does need to take some falling damage here. Do you want to make an acrobatics check? Yeah. Sure, why not? You might get good. Just land back down again. It's back to me already. Oh, that's actually true. Since she does need to take some falling damage here. Do you want to make an acrobatics check? Yeah. Sure, why not? You might get good. You might get good.

You can just launch up. Hey! Before you fail. 19. 19, yeah, you half it. Seven points of bludgeoning damage. Nice. As you do manage to properly land.

I attempt to suit her at landing. You pull it off this time. Yay! Lucius. The only thing I can do is vitriolic sphere again okay at it so i will do that a higher level sure so it's going to be at level disadvantage two it fails it cannot dodge the spheres of magic being launched at it as it is stuck in place. Here we go. 14d4. Let's go.

39 points of acid damage. 39 points of acid damage. That one definitely seems to... Again, this thing still seems incredibly tough. These things very clearly built as stalwart defenders. Nope, not on that one. Nope. There's no ones to twos. It's okay.

Good. All right. In that case, all done? All done. Nope, not on that one. Nope. There's no ones to twos, it's okay. Good. All right. In that case, all done? All done. Okay. All done. All done.

About sort of five or ten feet on either side of Valor, there is now this shimmering golden dome. And she's still concentrating, you can see like sweat, but her and Max are there as this dome is beginning to form. Odd number. I need everybody who is not on solid ground. So Lucius, Ayla, the only ones. Lucius and Ayla, can you both make strength saving throws, please?

You are Rajin. I rolled a 19 plus 13. You are fine. You dig your feet in the ground. You get a plus d4. Oh yeah, blurs. What did you roll, though? A four. Eight. Could I grab Lucius?

No! Sliding deep into the magma now. Poor Lucius. I healed you four last turn, though, so... Whilst slipping down, I want to be scrambling for the empty fire resistance potion. I'm trying to get drops. You do have fire resistance, though, right? Because you drank the potion.

I do, yeah, for an hour. It's going to be 26, cut down to 13. And when you start your turn... Magma. Magma. But you are currently like... It's like your clothing is starting to catch on fire. Like, you know, the potion's effects are protecting you, but...

I'm in a bad way. Yeah, he's pretty bad. Oh, no. So that was at the end. That was the earthquake. You feel the tremor. Ailey, you managed to stand your ground. Nova Vita.

32. You rolled a what? I rolled a 32. You rolled a what? I rolled a 32. I rolled a 19, and I have plus 13 to my strength, so... Doesn't even phase yet. Nova, then Quill. So Lucius is, like, just drowning down here, right? He's like Gollum in Lord of the Rings, like...

Oh, God. Flashing around. I'm in. You are, like, because you slid not just to the edge, but then you kept going. I'm in. You are like, because you slid not just to the edge, but then you kept going. I'm going. I'm going.

Okay. He's like, he's swimming in it at this point. Oh, God. I want to maybe go in and get him and the dimension door out.

Yeah. You want to get in? You've got fire resistance at the minute. Yeah. As you've seen, it would be a lot of damage if you didn't have the fire resistance.

I'm guessing dimension doors don't take damage, right? No. It's like a teleport. Dimension doors are like that. It's not the portal anymore. I don't have the portal anymore. God, if I had a portal, this would be so, okay. It's cool as well.

The only thing that is holding me back is the fact that if I fail a concentration check on damage, Sentry's going to get a big old oscillating construct dropping on her. Sentry's fine. Sentry's tough. I think Nova's gut reaction is that Nova is going to go get Lucius and Dimension Door out. So what do I need to do? So you've got a choice.

So 5, 10, 15. You don't need to make an acrobatics check. You can just carefully move through it, but you are basically going to wade through this lava to get to him, which means you take damage. There's no saving throw. You just take damage. Just dive it.

What if I was to levitate? Well, then that would be your action to cast. Yeah, okay. Nope. Nope. So you're just going to wade through. I'm just going to do it. I'll take it.

So you're going to take. It's what Nova would do. Seeing Lucius, like... It's only eight points of fire damage. It's only eight points of fire damage. Do you wade through? Do you want me to run a concentration check on that? Those eight points will lead to 10 when your HP is...

19. No, you're fine. And then Dimension Door, you can pretty much go in it. I want to go next to Quill. So still prone, Lucius, but you are now on solid ground. I'm patting out my life. Kill him! Okay.

He's on fire! Kill him! Burn. I hate you! You are my brother, Lucius! You are the chosen one you were meant to destroy Calus not join him it's not going to be me joining him

what are the rings reference I loved you not Ian no it's not I know that to be fair to him we were talking about Gollum a second ago. I kind of get it.

But yes, it is a prequels meme. You did all of that, and all I heard was cast it into the fire. Cast it into the fire. Bye, Lucius. That's pretty much what's in it right now. I loved you, Gollum. You were the chosen one. You were the chosen one, Go were the chosen one Gollum!

I went to destroy the ring not save it! I loved you like a brother! Hey I'm gonna cast heal at level 7. Yay! 80 healing back to you. Oh wow. So what do we see when you do this, Quill? Like, what does this look like for Quill?

Do-do-do-do-do. It's a little bad. No, no, no. Tickle. No. Talons on either side of Lucius's head. And then just blinding radiance. White light bursts out from Lucius's form

and all of his scars, all of the injuries, all the burns are vanished and you feel your energy restored. Anything else, Cor? No, I've only got bonus actions left. Oh, actually, yes. Bonus healing. Yeah, I can do my bonus action., so that would be it. Oh, actually, yes. Bonus healing? Yeah, I can do my bonus action...

Or a vitality. Or a vitality. Another 2d6 on Lucius. Seven. Another seven HP. I don't know if you still need it. Please stop. Too much healing.

Good news, you've healed and saved Lucius. Bad news, the glitch of the programming of the construct does seem to reset. No! Roll the natural 18. Okay. It does come back. I hate it.

You do get a free whack. One free whack. Oh my god. Brain, 26. Yes, hits. Brain just malfunctioned. Rolled rubbish though. 15 damage on the hammer. And lightning. Six points of lightning.

Yeah, I mean a solid blow as it kind of reacts. It will turn probably just to you, Aayla, because you're like the immediate thing. Hello. And it is going to make two attacks against you. Yeah. Two with its giant big shield. That's a 22 on the first one.

Yeah. And then only a 23 on the second one. Yeah. So this is going to be... I'll do the bludgeoning damage because you're going to half this. So... Oh, that was pretty crap. So 11, 12, 13, 21.

So half to 10 points of bludgeoning. And then 8 fire damage, so 18 total. Half, is that the fire damage half? Oh, and then half fire damage because you've got Potion of Resistance. So yeah, 4 on that. And then its second attack is, that's better damage-wise. That's going to be 10, 16, 18, 24, 32, half to 16 bludgeoning damage.

And then nine, half to two, four fire damage. So these two great shields come slamming down onto you and then it slams its shields together in your direction. Can you make a strength saving throw? You're probably going to pass, but hey. I have 10k. 19 plus 13. Yeah, fine.

So it tries to blow you away from it and knock you prone, but you stand resolute against it. But it does seem to be once again active, and then it's your turn. I hit it! That was a very fortunate timing, because your reaction was... I rolled a nat 20!

Here comes the Brutical Crit. Wait, wait, how much Brutal Critical do I have? Brutical Critical? Do I have... No, it's gone up. Brutal Critical. Hang on. Is it three extra? I might have gone up to four now. Is it features?

Yeah. I'm getting used to my new app. I think it adds 400 dice. It does not. Tommy's looking though. I can see it right now. I'm sure he is. Yeah, Brutical Critical.

Brutical Critical. Brutical Critical. Bruticus Criticus. You are level 17. Three additional, so it's 4d10 base. 4d10, sorry, 40 base. And then you roll and add again. Then four more. Yeah, that's a lot.

That's a big hit. That's a whacking. That is a whacking. So, uh... Nice potions there. Thanks. Do you want them? No, I don't.

No, you don't. You've overhealed, if anything. I'm just admiring the physical props in our new studio. Wow, listen to these potions. That's a nice little jingle. It is pretty nice, actually. I was expecting it to be annoying. 30 on top of 40, so 70, plus 13 for my bonus. So 83.

83 plus... A d6. 83 plus... A d6. 6 plus 2. So 91. Oh, my God. That's the attack. That's one.

Yep, okay. What? As it, like, slams, it kind of takes these blows. With the hammer, you slam it into its knee, like, the kind of, like, the nearest point, and it completely breaks and shatters and drops to one of its knees. Now, sort of like, at least you're up to its shoulders, at least.

But yeah, this was a crippling blow. This thing is badly damaged after that singular attack. You should have stayed shut down! And I hit it again. Sure. That's a working hit. No, not as good. 22, just. Just hits it. I's a working... Oh, no, not as good. 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 21.

22, just. Just hits it. I rolled a 7. Nice. Those big attack bonuses, that belt of strength. I know. 18 damage on the hammer. Yep.

Plus 3 lightning. Plus 3 lightning. Plus a dex save. I mean, it's going to fail. Yeah, it fails. It's 14. So, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 a dex save. I mean, it's going to fail. Yeah, it fails. It's 14. So three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 lightning. 15 points of lightning damage.

I mean, you see the creature buckles, the lightning erupts through it. You can see parts of it. Its joints have kind of almost exploded, like molten rock and ash breaking free. It looks dented. It looks battered. It's still functional,

but badly, badly injured at this point. But that is it. Done, Ayla? Yeah, I'll quit there. Right. Oscillation. Oh, breathe in. Actually, I will move on to the rock.

Okay. Nice. Just so that I don't have to... It's like Robot Wars. The oscillator. Oscillator. The only thing it can target is it sees Sentry below it, and as it spins around, it's going to fire its I-beam at Sentry.

Sozzlepops. Is that good? What? Is that Nat? Sozzlepops. Hell yeah. Oh, no! So Nat falls behind. Yes!

All right. So it's kind of bad. Yeah? It's pretty bad. Yeah? It does 40 10 fire damage and 40 10 force damage. Oh! Those all get maxed.

Yeah? 80 10. And then I roll again. I'm down already. That's 80 plus. I'm going to be down by this. Well, don't forget you've got the potion, so you will... You're already down. Yeah, no, I'll be down by this. don't forget you've got the potion so you will you're already down you will yeah no i'll be down she's on 69 nice nice i want to roll my cool you roll your

dice you know what there is a very small no there's no chance my feet though so i will have i will i will bounce back should have done my shadow martin now oh you're undying sentinel so you will come back i will come back from this uh So that's going to be 40. I will come back. I will. I've done that. There is an extremely small chance you'll survive. 55 fire damage. So that would be halved to 27.

27? Cool, cool. I think so. That's the fire damage. And then the force damage. Oh, no. Woo! Okay.

65 points of force damage. Yeah, I'm down. But I'm back on one! It like beams cyclops style as it flips down. You are caught, Century, by this just blast of heat and force as it presses you into the rock and you feel your consciousness like flicker for a moment and then you just feel that surge from the Amber River

from the Matrix swells through your body and you just hear Root Prime the Amber River, from the Matrix, swells through your body, and you just hear Root Prime's voice, till all are one. And your eyes flare back to life. You grip the axe once more, injured but not down. Yes! You wear those heels in your pocket. And it is, in fact, Century's turn.

Yeah! Nice. Oh, man. Right. Right, there's things I want to do do but things that I probably should do I think you should do the things you want to think what I'm thinking cannonball into the mic I was thinking cuz like she's like laying in the rock like it all broken around you, I can just imagine the sunbeam coming out. I can't reach.

It's 60 foot. Oh, damn it. I can't reach. It'd be so cool. I was imagining it as the Till All Are One and the sunbeam is like the burst of light that brings her back. So cool.

I've got Ice Storm. And the rain just... That would hit you. It would hit you. It would hit you. It would come back down, yeah. But it's got a 300-foot range. Yeah, but gravity. Like on the guy.

Actually... On the spinny lad. It has bludgeoning that comes down and hits the area. A hail of rock-hard ice pounds to the ground in a 20-foot radius 40-foot high cylinder Centered on a point within range actually she would be fine Yeah, because it would capture a 40-foot cylinder in the air, but it's magic right so like when it gets out of that area It dissipates it is no longer a physical thing. It does create take it

No, this one. Yeah, it creates difficult terrain around you so you'll be hailed, but it won't do any damage, but it would, like, surround you with difficult terrain. I'm just thinking, though, when you've been going up to Oscillator, you haven't gone into the Cylinder of Gravity, have you? Oh... I'm all floated. We will say up till now you have been skirting,

because it remains, right? It's a 50-foot cylinder. So we'll say up till now ridden my ears. It's a 50-foot cylinder. So we'll say up till now you've skirted. It's a 50-foot cylinder. So we'll say that you put that here. Although. The sentry has just spent. I don't mind spinning around upside down, though.

Because then you can attack it. I can attack it. Or you just speak to it. With one HP. Just like, it will drop though. She tried to speak to it. It didn't work. But you've been closer to it at least.

I can sit on it and be like, woo! But yeah. It'd be like Halo when they go up into Truth and Reconciliation. And again, great reference. Dun-dun-dun-dun! Dun-dun-dun-dun! Man-cannon! Woo!

That cylinder is just going to be there until it's gone. Yeah, we need to remember that that is. I need to be there until it's gone we need to remember that I need to get an effect or something before that because that's a thing

I didn't know that holy crap I'm going to put this down just to remind myself is he still up there that's why it's a 50 foot it's much bigger than that

but I'm just putting that as a reminder 50 foot radius 100 foot high 50 foot radius that's huge high. 50 foot radius? That's huge. That's like 100 foot. That's like, we'll say that that's covering like the final corner. It says 50 foot radius, 100 foot high.

Yeah, it's 100 foot across. That's very big. There is almost no way Century wasn't in this, but unless you aligned it. We're saying that like... I did it delicately. Yeah. Because like you would know that,

oh, maybe we want to use some of that as safe space. I'm smart. I'm really smart. You are known for your delicate spells. I am delicate! So anyway, Century, what are you doing? I'm very well known for my spells. I'll Ice Storm him. Okay. So you're just going to Ice Storm him up in the air?

What do I need to do? Deck save. Oh, terrible. Disadvantage two. Cool. So it takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and 4d6 cold damage. Okay, well, this is magical bludgeoning damage, so I'll take it. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Oh, maths.

10, 18. Maths. 27. 27 points? Yeah. To oscillator. Yeah. I mean, the ice batters its body,

and it definitely is having an effect. It's causing damage, but this thing is so tough. Like, you're not even sure. This doesn't seem to even be half of its vitality. It's still fully functional. And then I would like to move out of the way just for a little bit. Where do you want to move?

Can I kind of, like, shimmy down the ledge behind me? Yeah, just so I'm kind of out of the way of this anti-gravity. Oh, the big lad. The big lad's like vision. Can I like skirt around the corner just so I can't directly see me? Yep, that sounds good. Thank you. And that'll be my turn, please.

Lucius. I would like to quicken a slow spell. So two sorcery points to cast slow on this boy. On the one that's closest to you? Yeah. Okay. Wisdom saving throw.

19. Did you get an at 20? I'm really sorry. I was like... Physical dice! For the first time in my life, I genuinely considered lying about the dice result on Fight or Die,

because I was just like, this is so unfair to try. It's fine. I've literally rolled two notes. I know, but I can't believe that. That's the only part I might go anyway. Okay, that's true. That's the only part you'll go.

Unfortunately, the slow spell doesn't take an effect. I would like to Acid Splash as a cantrip, which I can do quick and great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You cast one spell as a bonus action, so your next spell has to be a cantrip. So, can do quick and great. Yeah, you cast one spell as a bonus action, so your next spell has to be a cantrip. So, yeah. What do I need to do?

Choose one or two creatures. Dex saving throw, please, of 19. Did you? I rolled a 19. My cantrip, it just misses. It does have a plus five, so it does. I feel like your dice just hate trots. They hate trots!

They really do. They hate trots! It's not even just today. No! No, it's not actually! Any big spell, it'll probably happen. Look, I'm trying to, I was like, I'm gonna not use Counterspell as much anymore, because that sucks, and things like that, but I genuinely have never thought of fudging.

I don't like fudging dice. I think that if you're doing that,'s kind of like what's the point? I don't I don't but like that. I'm glad you didn't yeah, I feel bad. I'm sorry truck. It's okay Fuck nobody's on the ground an earthquake goes off, but nobody's on hard grow centuries on hard ground an earthquake goes off but nobody's on hard ground. Oh, Sentry's on hard ground. Oh, Sentry! Strength saving throw for me, please. You're on one, right?

I am on one, yeah. You have a plus, you have a D4. I do have a D4, TY. How long does that last? Bless, it's concentration. Forever. Says here forever, one minute, yeah. Okay.

Forever, one minute. Says it's forever. Get out of here. Doesn't like magma go up with the cylinder? Like, you know. It's above... Well, the reverse gravity. If you had put that in the centre,

I probably would have had magma go up. Oh, God. You would have sucked it out the hole. And we could have just go in. Actually, that's a lot of magma. It's a minute, though. And also, you've got to hope that there's less than a hundred foot of magma

in the actual place. Otherwise, you have oscillating magma. The other thing is Valor and Max. Oh, we've got a globe! Bubble! Oh, blue.

The bubble expands out and Valor, you see her for a moment, she's just like, all right, this is as big as I can make it and this should protect us from the lava But not the physical attacks of those things

But if we can finish them off this this is what we can use to get down into the chamber and she has that Oh cool that will protect you from any sort of environmental so like the lava splashing out things like that And her and Max will probably Just eat themselves to the very edge so that like you can get to them basically if you need to. Oh, they're eeking. Nova Veeja, then Quill. It's like a capsule toy. It's a little bit, isn't it?

I'm gonna Hexblade Curse the guy in front of us. Okay. The one that we're nearest to. Mm-hmm. Non-Oscillator. The Non-Oscillator. The Nos-O-Lator. The Nos-Ooscillator. The non-oscillator. The no-sillator. The no-sillator. No. I'm going to go up to him. The boss-illator.

I mean, the oscillator is the boss-illator. Start attacking with Tiangong. All right. You're going to move up next to Ayla, basically. 20, 30, 40. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla.

I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla.

I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. I'm going to go up to Ayla. you're going to move up next to Ayla, basically. 20, 31 to hit. That will hit, yes. I like Ayla! Plus 15, baby! 9 plus 4 is 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 points of damage. With Hexblade Curse, yeah, hell yeah.

Qian Gong cleaves through its armour as if it's not there. It kind of rips through, almost like cutting between the plates. Can I Hexblade Green Flame Blade that one as well? You would have to have cast that, because Green Flame Blade, you would cast, it replaces all your attacks, so you don't get to make multiple attacks with Green Flame Blade, unfortunately. I'm not going to do that, then flame blade unfortunately but i am going to attack it yeah you're better off just making lots of attacks rather than using green flame 30 to hit that hits um 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 with that blow with the heavy blow that ayla did kind of bringing it to its knee you carve

through its back and then with a second strike of Tiangong Seems to strike some sort of core system as the whole thing just goes rigid and pitches forward And then it just begins to slowly melt and you know sink No I'm just gonna look look at Aayla. It did sacrifice itself. I think because Nova would have gotten ready to go for a third strike and then just this happened, so she's just going to look at Aayla and be like, I did a thing.

Yeah? I did the thing. It's fine. I just, you know, crippled it completely. But I did the thing. Out of the way, I'm trying to heal. Also, I heal a bit from the thing. Anything else? Or shall I move on to Quill?

Move on. Move on to Quill! Move on! Just move on! Yeah, I am going to fly 50, which puts me under the dome. Into the dome the bird goes! And I will do... um... Heal again. But this time it has to be at

8th level, so you're getting 90 HP back. Are you closing? Is heal ranged? It's not ranged. It's touch. 60 feet. Is it? Yeah. I thought it was a touchy boy. Yeah, dog. Google it. Yeah. I thought it was a touchy boy. Yeah, dog. Google it.

Well, I think I shall. She was a creature you can see in range. Wow, I never knew that. That might be an old holdout from me, old editions of D&D where it's touch, and I might have made that a thing you like for. All right, 60 feet. Thank you. Enjoy.

I will. Thank you very much. I will not squander it immediately. Yes, you will. Yes, you will. It's gone. I love it. I turn away. I look back. He's on magma rolling around having a swish. Starbreaker!

Starbreaker, jump up on! Anyway, are you done, Quilt? If not, we go to Aelin. I've also got my other healing. I can't find it. What is the range on this? 30 feet. Anyway, are you done, Quilt? If not, we go to Ayla. I've also got my other healing. I can't find it. What is the range on this? 30 feet.

Might be able to touch Nova or Ayla? Myself. Or yourself. 2d6 on me. That's fair. Six. That's fair. He's done a lot of healing to other people.

He's got hollow bones. He has less hit points. I do. I do. Then Ayla. Hello. Can I move... Will 45 feet get me to the boubler? The boubler?

Five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 40, 35, 40, 80. Okay, I'll move half speed so I won't fall into the magma then. Oh, if you go half speed. I'll just use my double, because I'll use my action. Oh, yeah, if you dash, yeah. Yeah, and that will be my turn.

Thank you. Inside the bubble. You pass through, and yet immediately the air becomes a lot more comfortable. Even with the potion resistance, you were still sweating, things like that. And Aayla, you almost, as you and Quill have entered, you can see that, like, the very edges of the bubble, Valor is constantly, constantly like refreshing this spell it's like she's constantly casting this spell over and over and it almost feels like you're on a different plane of existence like she is kind of like

pushing out the actual real plane for her own sort of denim plane that she's creating but still keeping it that you can like interact with the environment around you kind of thing. All right, done, Ayla? Hell yeah. The oscillator. The oscillator cannot see Sentry. It's still... Yeah, it can see Nova and it can see Lucius.

It sees this dome, but it doesn't seem to really register it. It's like eyes just kind of pass over it. So it is going to shoot at the closest person, which is Nova Vija. That is nearly a crit. So it's masking our presence. Well, to this thing it seems to be, maybe.

That's gonna be like 20, 32, Nova. Yeah, sure. Not a crit, it was 19. So that is gonna be... 16 fire damage, so we half that to 8. And then 20 points of force damage, so 28 total. And then the DC for the concentration is going to be 14. 19.

Yeah, with Warcast you should easily be able to do it. So again, the oscillator just fires its beams, and then that's it. That's all it does. Sentry, then Lucius. Okay. Seeing that everybody else is in the boob-ell of safety, I shall... I do want to do that really bad, though.

I do. I will not squander these hit points. I know. It's so... I know. I want to go up and... Okay, she's safe now and running towards... Sentry! Wee! Starbreaker!

I can just drop him down for you. Wouldn't that be cool? It would be cool as hell. It would be cool as hell. I don't necessarily approve. I'll go in the Booble of safety. You're just going to dash in. The Booble! I'll dash in, yeah. The Booble. Michael Booble. It's safety. You're going to go in the booball? You're just going to do boobay? I'll dash in, yeah. The booblay. Michael Booblay. It's Christmas. Do you want to go full speed?

Otherwise you're going to go 510. You're not going to get to the bubble if you don't go full speed. I'll go half speed. I don't want... Yeah, I'll go. I'll go gentle. Go gently into the night.

All right, sentry done. Lucius. I think I got up from prone last... Sure, sure, sure. But I will go... I guess I can do normal movement. Yeah. 5, 10, 15, and then half the rest.

Yeah, so then you would basically go... You'd only be able to go 10 feet for the rest. Whatever. Bye. 5, 10, 15, 20. Down here, then. So you could action dash in there, or you could do something else.

Can I? Slow? No. Oh, okay. I'm done with that. No more saving throws. Can I? Yes. action dash in there or you can do something else can I slow no oh okay I'm done with that no more saving throws can I yes

quicken a spell again yep so I can do my move I would like to throw a chromatic orb into the cylinder so it goes

whoop interesting I mean the effect is the same for star points you can absolutely do that. You're still going to make an attack roll against it because you still want to hit it. But for style points,

you're absolutely throwing it in and then it's kind of being caught by the gravity. And it's getting thrown upwards. But mechanically, you're still making an attack roll. Sure. Sometimes, you know, rule of cool is just about how it looks. Indeed. What?

Sorry, nothing. Carry on. Seeking spell. Seeking spell. Sorcery points to reroll. Remind me to take off six sorcery points so far. Okay. What's 13 plus 8? 21.

Bless. I've used it. It does work on attack rolls. It doesn't work on attack rolls. It does. Does it? It does, yeah. It's not guidance.

You can use it multiple times. A d4. You just need a 1. That's perfect. That's what you needed. Oh my god! He's doing it! It was like, I was like, when you got 21, after spending all those points, I was like,

Bless! You got Bless! Use the Bless! He's doing it! Okay, I can roll damage now. He's beginning to believe. In the heart of the cards. 5d8 acid damage is 10 points. I rolled four twos and a one. Any ones in that, you can turn that way.

I made, I rounded it up for a turn. Four twos and a one. Maybe the gravity like breaks it apart a bit. Yeah. That's my bad. That's my bad. My bad, I'll take that. Nova, because you guys,

in fact, actually, Century and Lucius, I need to see if an effect takes place. Natural one, nothing happens. One on the D6. So we go to Nova, back at the top. Take us home. Can I the top. Take us home. Can I? Sorry?

Take us home. Oh. I got 30 feet of movement. Can I get to the bubble in that? The bubble? You can dash. So 5, 10, and then you'll be going 20. You can get pretty much to there.

One movement, that's as far. If you go full speed, you have to make an acrobatics check. I want to, like, shoot him with Eldritch Blast as well. Then you either remain where you currently are, which is about 10 feet out of the bubble, and then you Eldritch Blast oscillator, or you spend your action in dash, or you make an acrobatics check,

and if you fail, you're going to slide into the lava. I think I'll just get out of the bubble, please. All right, action. Can I dismiss? I'll dismiss Tiangong as well. Okay. What do you reckon also? It's spin cycles. What do you reckon?

Go and try washing them. All right. Keeluk. Oh. I totally forgot I'm still playing D&D. He's like, I'm in the bubble. I was just watching everyone else. It's a good time.

Until everyone's in the bubble, then... It's a lot more immersive, isn'm in the bubble. I was just watching everyone else. Until everyone's in the bubble, then it's a lot more immersive, isn't it? Yeah. How far away am I from this thing? Like 150 feet, probably? You're about 140. Yeah, 140, 150. Something like that.

Okay. I'll do a... Maskure Wounds. 60 feet on everyone. 3d8 plus 6. Aayla, you're up next. I know you're probably not going to do anything. Has this been ten rounds yet? Not yet. 17 healing. Seven.

17. 17 healing for everybody. 17 healing. Seven. 17. 17 healing for everybody. For everybody, yeah. 17 healing. Oh, nice. All right. To everyone. Yeah.

Oh, no, this is round seven, yeah. Cool. Oh, and a 2d6 on me. All right. Ayla, while he's doing that. Hi. No, can I just... Have a good time.

Bubble party. I could just reach out and grab Sentry and pull her inside the bubble. Yeah, you could absolutely just run out, grab Sentry, and then pull her in. Yeah, I might just do that. Sure, okay. If you're willing. I'm willing. Just be like, come on, Sentry.

I think I'm still big, but I'm willing. Okay. You are still big, yeah. Yeah, big Sentry's taking it. You are still big, yeah. Yeah, big century's taken it. You're having to crouch to fit in this bubble. Once you do that. I got some bad news for poor Lucius. You're the only one left for the oscillator to see with his beam.

It's not even the volcano. What about Tiangong? No, I dismissed them. You dismissed them? Yeah, sorry. I'm last. 25. Yeah. You dismissed them? Yeah, sorry. I have last. 25. Yeah.

You're going to take... I just got healed on max, though, so... You did. 13 points of fire damage. That's already halved. That was 26. Half to 13. And then...

15 points of force damage. So that would be 28 total. As this beam catches you beam okay then we go to century um i'm in the bubble can can i bring lucius in we'll say that for the sake of it you can just run out down and then dash grab it on the end of your star breaker come in and get pulled in at which point this creature doesn't seem to be able to perceive within the bubble. This creature. You're not sure if this is going to affect all creatures,

but you definitely are all thingy. And then you can see Valor kind of concentrating, but not too strenuous at the moment. It's just like, I think that thing's magical senses, this should be, we should basically be invisible to it, I think, at least. How long have you got? I can keep this up for a while. I think I can keep this up for a while.

I don't know how deep we have to go inside the volcano, but... Oh, yeah, where's Diamond? Oh. Woman. D1. Oh. They're in the magma by now, surely. In the sand.

Yeah. She's been sinking this whole time. Kim did inform me. Apparently, somebody in chat was saying this, or, like, in the Discord was saying this, apparently diamonds don't melt in lava. Their pressure is too high. No, so we'll just pick her up on the way down.

Can we just pick her up? But, I mean, maybe you might be able to find her. To wreck what it is, is that we'll probably say that, like, yeah, they've tried to send maidens in here and they just haven't succeeded. They thought that they were being destroyed by... We just come across a pile of them at the bottom of the magma chamber.

Oh, they're all here! Hello! Something has obviously stopped them from activating this device. God. But yes, at this point, we will just have you guys all... In the booboo! ...finish up. Well, I'm going to take you off the map at this point. Okay.

Alright. Goodbye, map. Bye! Bye! Bye, map. Goodbye, map. Our first beautiful map. I think Sentry is now back to regular size. You say, goodbye, map. Hello, new map. Bye! Goodbye map! Our first beautiful map. I think Sentry is now back to regular size.

You say goodbye map, but I'm only taking you off this map. Oh! Map, map, map! Two maps in one session? Is there a giant thud after the minute passes? You will hear one. Oh god! Which is only a few seconds away.

I don't know if anybody can reach these items. But we're gonna start sinking first. Just help me clean this table. I tried to get it all in one hand. I did want to. Completely failed. So if you go shopping, you take all the bags. And then your arms fall off.

Yeah, of course. Happens to me all the time. Yeah. We'll position you guys. Now, I did mess up the scale on this map, so the squares are a bit too small. Okay. So forgive me.

No worries. I'm sure we could. We'll be using very rough dimensions for this one. That's fine. Yeah. No worries. Oh, we can just leave this set up in the studio. Yeah!

We don't have to take pictures of it anymore. We don't have to take pictures and remember where it was. Are you sniffing pens? Yeah. He is, yeah. These are smelly pens. It's the way he's coping with all his misses. It's really faint, though.

Yeah, they're not great. It's disappointing. All I can smell is coffee. I remember them being really strong. With Valor's aid, you begin walking into the caldera. You do indeed see very faintly through this opaque, not quite opaque, like it's hazy, like it's blurred outside the bubble.

You basically see this giant iron construct slam into the top of the caldera, and it does sort of right itself and pulls itself up, still looking around, searching for its previous foes, but definitely takes a heavy blow. But Valar slowly walks, kind of concentrating, keeping this bubble around you, and you basically wade into the caldera,

into the kind of magma pool, and through Valar's will, the bubble, which you now realize is a full sphere, begins to sink down. And very slowly. Now, as you fully enter the magma, although this bubble is keeping out the worst of it, there is still an intense heat and you begin to sweat

and you begin to feel this like, you know, magical heat building around you. You're going to take, even with the resistance, it would normally be five points of fire damage every round. With fire resistance on all of you, that's two. But you're going to take that every round. And as far as you know, like, you begin to descend. I'm just going to tell you in minutes and be like,

you take X amount of damage over this move, basically. Cool. I also... You can do some healing per round, can't you? Yeah, how long does that actually last for? That's a good question. Because, yeah, I can do 2d6 of healing to one person every turn. So that would probably...

You can basically negate the damage. So you could either pick somebody and say for the next minute they're not going to take any damage, or you could try and reduce each individual's damage once. Oh, it only lasts a minute, so I've maybe got like 30 seconds of that. So you can probably do it for the first minute or so, like this first section you can do like 30 seconds. I can give one person resistance for an hour.

Resistance is what? Fire resistance? Fire resistance. Well, everyone's currently got that active, because you've got your potions or Max. Max doesn't need it. Max is immune to fire. Can you double resist? You can't. No. There's no such thing as double resistance.

But, so basically, I will tell you now, a minute passes, and you all take 20 points of damage, except Max and Valor, who don't seem to be as affected. But you guys are all going to take 20 points of fire damage. That's with resistance factored in. Quill, you can basically give everybody 2d6 off. You could heal everybody once.

Yeah. Probably be the limits of it. I'll do that, yeah. If I just pick one person. Six off that. So Aayla, you get six HP. Then do it. I'll do that, yeah, if I just pick one person. Six off that. So Aayla, you get six HP, then do yourself. Oh, do it individually, okay. Yeah, do one person each, I think.

Okay, so six to Aayla, nine to me. For Nova, eight. For Lucius, three. And for Sentry, eight. Valar and Max. They don't need to take it. So Valar's actually being protected. She's casting this like the power generated is enough to protect her.

And Max actually, you've never seen Max look more comfortable in his life. He's just like, yep, best temperature. Okay, he's like me. Yep, love this. This is amazing. Guns out temperature? I mean, no, he wouldn't. Like, he's still fully armoured and dressed, but, like, his hair definitely...

Because his hair is like... Valor, we need to go deeper. His fire seems brighter. It feels like there's more energy to his hair. It's almost become longer and, like, you know, it's more vibrant. It's like he's being empowered as well. And I think he would probably say,

there is definitely some sort of elemental connection here beyond just an active volcano. Something is at work. Is he speaking? I dare not dream how bad it would be without your resistance, Lucius. Pretty bad. Can I commune with nature? Mm-hmm. What nature's here?

A volcano. Tree walk spells speak with nature in a volcano? We're not doing the whole tree argument again. I can briefly gain knowledge of the surrounding territory. The spell gives you knowledge of the land within three miles of you. In caves and other natural underground settings, the radius is limited to 300 feet.

That's pretty damn good. Casting time in minutes, so you could be doing this as the ball descends, basically. Can I find out how far we have to go? Like, get an idea of the depth of the volcano. So it does say in caves and other natural underground

settings. Technically, this kind of borders on that. It's limited to 300 feet. But yeah, so you instantly gain knowledge of up to three facts of your choice. Three? About any of the following subjects as they relate to the area. Terrain and bodies of water. So yeah, if you want to know how deep this thing is. Bodies of lava?

You suspect that there's at least another... So you're descending. It's hard to tell exactly the rate you're descending at. But I will say that you suspect that it's gonna be at least another two minutes Before you hit the magma heart that magma chamber like this is like a tall, you know Big tunnel that you're going down like a spout basically and you need to get to like the main magma chamber So you've got another two minutes basically, so that's one of your questions The other things you can ask about is prevalent plants minerals animal or peoples um i will tell you minerals you could ask about diamond and that

will tell you where d1 is um powerful celestials fiend fay fiends elementals or undead in the area influence from other planes of existence and or any buildings in the area um Can I ask where Diamond is and if there's any other creatures with us in here? Okay. So the way that this works, by the way, is like, is this from your Paladin class ability or is this like from a spell? This is Oath of the Ancients. Oath of the Ancients, okay.

So this is, you know, as being a guardian, being made of metal and stone and wood, this is like an innate connection with the world around you. And although this is a volcano, you still feel minerals in the walls beyond. You can feel that there is a heart of life here that as a guardian you are sworn to protect and that gives you this connection to it. You sense that this is deep. This is a large volcano. There's probably two or three

minutes left to reach until you get to the magma heart, the magma chamber. You do sense diamond. You can sense that there are small pockets here and there buried far beneath into the rock. You know, you'd have to mine to reach them, but you feel a very large presence of diamond. Sort of, maybe, I guess it would be, you guys were fighting for about seven rounds. She fell in. Like, you're coming up close. Like, you can actually feel it.

It's coming up closer to you. So at some point, it's just going to play into the bubble. She's going to be pressed against the side of the bubble. The bubble doesn't quite fill the entire chamber, though. Like, Century can feel it. And I would say that she's maybe, she's going to be about 30, 40 feet like you know from your position so maybe like 20 feet outside the bubble um and she's just sort of like slowly falling but she's falling at a slower rate than

you guys are she's like actually like descending you guys are being forced through it by Valor's spell. The last thing, powerful creatures. You begin to sense. You remember Volcanus. You remember coming here to find Root. You remember that there were these creatures, these like lava snakes or worms that were attacking you. You can feel some of their energy, but they're dwarfed.

Something within the magma chamber. An old, ancient elemental power. Slip. Capture it. Put it in the engine. It needs to be radiant or fiend, right? No, it can be elemental, but it's better if that's opposing elemental. So if we got this, it would be good for us it's better if that's opposing elemental. So if we got this,

it would be good for us to get a water or an icy boy. Hell yeah. Do we have to Pokemon weaken it first? We do, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will tell you, in fact, with the knowledge of commune with nature, I can give you a bit more information than that as well.

A name comes to your mind. You begin to sense when siaska created eros i'm gonna call it that when the world engine began to pour heat and life into this place the world engine draws on the elemental planes to kind of power things like water and air and oxygen and earth and fire to heat the planet from the within and in doing so part of the world engine sometimes pulls through creatures that are drawn by this this you know power being drawn from their own planes these kind of ephemeral not planets as you know them but the actual kind of ethereal planes as they are more in traditional dnd and sometimes things you begin to learn that long ago,

one of these creatures came with it and Siasca placed it within the heart of the biggest, mightiest volcano. And it is the reason that Volcanos is the size that it is, that is the intensity that it is. It is literally the thing that is making Volcanos the way it is. And it has been awoken. And you know that this thing is called Gulzor, the Great Worm. Oh!

Okay. We're going to need a bigger Poke Bowl. And it resembles a giant snake with a gaping maw that can open. Aw, we're going to get... We're going to get guzzed by Gulzor. Gulzor. With an X, not a Z. Guzzler. An X.

G-H-U-L apostrophe X-O-R. Gulzor. I appreciate spelling. I'm sure the wiki team too as well. That's why I said it. Can you say it again please? G H U L apostrophe X O R. Golxor.

Look at this guy. Thinks he writes notes now. He's got one little book and he's like, I'm gonna write notes! Yeah, and you know that like you can't get an exact location on that thing but it is below you and it's in this chamber. This is its realm. Cool, okay. As you relay this as well, D1 is going to pass you guys. If you guys want to rescue D1, you have to probably do it now

or get her on the way up, if you come up. Make an active decision to do it. Diamond's coming! It also means that somebody has to get outside the bar. Somebody has to go outside and... I don't have Misty's step anymore. I want to get her. Can Max get her if he's immune?

If you aren't, he's like, I can try, yes. I'm not... You can't swim in lava. If I have some way of some way that you can return like bring me back to you I can try

can we tie a piece of rope around him rope won't last very long if we had metal chain that might give us a brief moment at least no I don't or if how far do you think

she will be Sentinel Prime she's about I think she's about 30 to 40 feet away from us. About 20. You like looks. If you could reach out, I will grip your hammer, reach out with your hammer, I will then reach with my sword.

If she can grab my sword, we may just be able to reach her. Maybe. Sentry's weapon is probably longer. Or Sentry's, either one. Is the hammer or the... Which one's longer? They're about the same. Oh, okay, that's fine. Starbreak is weird.

It's like an unfoot lance. It's not like this long, mega long thing. I'll do it then with the hammer. Sure. It means that you're going to have to take some lava damage. I figured. That's probably why Max asked you as. Sure. It means that you're gonna have to take some lava damage. I figured. That's probably why Max asked you as well, because he knows that you're pretty tough.

So yeah, so you get ready, Sentry kind of gives you the word, like Max basically grips the end of the hammer, and he's like, you have to swing out with as much force as you can to work through the lava. But he's gonna basically, yeah, it'll get swung out. You're gonna take, that is gonna be, oh, it's only 14 points of fire damage.

Half to seven. It's only seven points of fire damage, Ayla. So you swing out, Max kind of like swings through. You hear a... Like a grunt as he slams into something heavy. And you hear a... Woohoo! And then...

Ayla pulls back. And Max, his neck bulging as he's lifting the heaviest thing he's probably ever carried, throws her onto the floor of the sphere. It's like, heavy! D1 sort of wipes herself off. She's got bits of lava and she's just like, I am pleased to make your acquaintance again.

Oh, you're okay. You're fine then. I am perfectly functional. Good. Good. Good. Welcome back. We dealt with the shield guys. One. One of them. One of them. Upstairs. That is most fortunate.

I was very surprised by the dramatic exit from which you, the way you exited the vehicle. Me too, actually, on hindsight. Maybe I shouldn't have destroyed our way out. Oh, well. Well, it's not our way out. It was destroyed anyway, like you said. More importantly, is the crystal device still intact? And Maximilian shows it to her. He's just like,

This is excellent news. Down we go. How far, Sentry? Not too much further now. I think a couple of minutes we should be at the centre. How are you holding up, Valor? Yeah, this should be fine. I think that... I think at max I could maybe do ten minutes of this, but I think I should be okay. We should be fine. Right. My biggest concern is it will be harder for us to go up than it is to go down.

I have to work against gravity to do that, and that does make things harder. What if we teleported out? That would certainly be a lot easier, yes. Because I kind of took something from the storm chaser. Sorry, Lucius. What? Wait, what? Because teleport works better if you have an associated item from the... What did you take?

You didn't tell me that you took anything Nova Vigil. I did actually have a piece of paper bookmarked in my notebook, but I forgot to say it at the beginning of the episode. Am I not allowed? What is it? What have you taken? I was thinking, like, maybe a crystal from, like, a console. Okay.

Interesting. That's fine. The engine button. The engine button. The keys. The brake. The keys from... Is that okay? Yeah, that's fine. The engine button. The engine button. The keys. The brake. The keys? Is that okay?

Yeah, it's fine. I did write it down at the last episode. It's fine. Cool. Spawning stuff in. Do try and tell me when you're doing stuff. Sorry, yeah. Because things like teleport, it does make a difference.

I completely forgot. It's fine. Just put it in your inventory. Yeah. Crystal from Storm Chaser. But yeah. Teleport, she says, like, yes, that would be certainly the case.

And I think D1 is like, oh, yes, I highly recommend you make an expedited exit. Okay. Is it going to go explode or something? I suspect that when we activate the stabilizing unit, there will be a surge of elemental power that could be dangerous.

Great. I'm going to cast Armor of Agathys on myself. Okay. This is ice. And I just feel nice. It does. It feels very nice. Yeah.

Gives you some temporary hit points just at the first level. Just first level. Five temporary hit points. I mean, hell yeah. I will say that another minute will pass as you descend. Yeah. Another 20 points of fire damage. So you get to take that off the armor of Agathys temporary.

It's first. I will also... It melts off. For the duration of that, do another aura of vitality. Oh, okay. Sure, yeah. So like this again, like you can definitely minimize. Yeah.

I'm only going to do that once more. Ayla. Seven. Me. Nine. Nova. Ten. Lucius.

Four. Oh, my God. Wow. I never thought I would hate you. Four. Four, okay. Technically, you can do that twice for everybody, because the first time is only 30 seconds left on the spell.

That's true. This time you've actually got the full minute, so Aayla 12 Me, 9 Nova, 5 Lucius 4

Oh my god Dice hate him 10 That is actually absurd Oh my god! Dice hate him. And Century. Dice hate him. Ten. Ten! Oh, nice! That is actually absurd. I've played consistently the lowest rolls for three rounds.

That's kind of weird now, right? It's pretty weird. It's getting a little weird. Apart from that one against Century, the only person I rolled natural 20s against, and I rolled two of them. That's insane. Like, I don't understand.

And we can't even argue this one anymore. No. We've got no excuses. No. So, yeah. So that is the second minute of you slowly descending down. No change. You don't begin to, again, it's just you can see the very, like you can see walls of like the flume,

like the main chamber of magma. You can see the walls just on the outside of this bubble. But as it begins to descend, it still feels quite enclosed in as you're making your way down. Around about two and a half minutes, so everybody takes ten points of fire damage, on the third minute, so it's about the two and a half minute points, the sphere suddenly around you opens up

and you begin to see that there are tunnels. It begins to widen out, and you can see tunnels and things leading away from you. And Quill, you are the first one to notice, as the orb is descending, you just see the very faintest, almost like a piece of wall itself, moves and slithers and slides away.

Slides away? Mm-hmm. That's fine then. A few more seconds pass. Another section. It's weird. It's almost like it starts there, and that piece just...

And then that's when you realise this thing is wound through the various caverns. And as you are about to descend a bit further, a great maw. It's still blurred, kind of miraged by the sphere itself. I'm sorry I didn't have time to paint it. I only found the right miniature. He's the right kind of color. I'm going to try and have time to paint it. I only found the right miniature. He's the right kind of colour. I'm going to try and paint him for next week.

But you see this giant serpent. Oh, man. Bars through. And that is where we leave this week. But I want to stay here. With Gulzor. Gulzor. Gulzor, the oscillator.

Great one. Great one. Cool. You know, the music comes in, we see the health bar come up, he's got name. So, and that is going to be... Awesome. That episode of Hyrule's D&D.

That is going to be us. Thank you so much. We are going to be back very soon for more Hyrolis.
