Pickaxe. Welcome back to Aroas. The champions have travelled to the thick jungles of Jakesh to find the breach point that will allow them access to Kalara's hidden demiplane, from which she has cut off most of her followers and turned her most loyal knights into a force of methodical killers. If Kalara is defeated or brought to peace, her divine essence will return to Siasca, the true deity of Eros, and aid in the battles to come. A turbulent journey have led the party to Nightbloom Hold, the defended keep and monastery

of Calara's knights, and after a failed attempt to sneak in, they have launched a full-on assault against the forces here, including the powerful Knight Commanders of the Blackened Rose, during which Nova Vija teleported away to the colossal tree that seemed to be enhancing Calara's forces and has used a beacon of light to call down arcane blasts from their airship, the Stormchaser. Now an intense battle wagers beneath the burning, breaking boughs of this enormous tree. Nova flees the destruction with the guardians hotshot and shade sued by the newly reborn cerise the plague knight meanwhile the rest of the party face off against the orc war knight lady elwynn and various minions as well as sir godric the death knight and the famine knight lamalese begin to close in so uh i will do we'll do a little brief recap whilst I also have

to fix this poor boy that I knocked over Quill fell but everyone's here all the knights are invited right so to summarize things up we got a bit of a on-go battle map a little bit of a slight rejig on the battle map if you are watching if you're wondering why the towers on the a bit smaller and things have shifted around just a bit of tidying up we currently have the war night this orc war night lady Elwynn who is currently engaging Lucius max and Ayla in the actual round top of the tower part of it has been knocked over like part of the wall is now broken and has fallen down below it. Quill, you had moved just off to the side.

I believe you were flying, but not too high up in the air. So you're about sort of like 10 feet-ish up in the air. Sentry is a floor below you in the tower, currently fighting one of the Knight Errants, one of these kind of powerful, full plate armored, black, big great sword, black armored knights. She is in the tower below you, so I haven't got her on the map yet.

Coming from the main keep, which is the far end away, so the sort of southern end of the battle map, you have two flying spectral horses, upon which Sir Godric Graves and the Ember Elf Lamelies, the Death Knight and the Famine Knight, are approaching. On the ground, a force of about seven skeletons and three whites um seemingly move with so godric and are following their horse like keeping within range of so godric far away about 500 feet away um nova vega has basically helped the airship target the

great tree and you are now flying you would cast the fly spell on yourself and you'd moved about 60 feet towards the party, which would put you basically over the main temple, like the main sort of like fortified temple. You are flying over its rooftops basically. And the last thing you'd seen was Cerise, the plague knight basically being birthed out of this sort of tree sap cocoon. And that was the last place we saw it.

We are deep in initiative. We are deep. You still got it? I've got it all running thanks to D&D Beyond. It's never been easier. They don't sponsor us at the minute, but I'm still going to say it's never been easier. So I've just resumed the combat.

I've tweaked a couple of little things just to make sure everything's up to date. And that is where we're going to go. Are you guys all ready? Well, Katie, I'm sorry. Sorry about the hammer. Katie, I'm so sorry. It's been like a five-year-old thing in the Discord

that everyone's like, how could I be so stupid? I am a fool and I've never felt worse in my life. You know, I wouldn't mind if you did it once. But you did it twice. You threw a war hero thing off. That doesn't matter. Also, you were also attacking recklessly. That wouldn't have happened.

Well, no, if anything, the reckless would have helped. Actually, the reckless helped because it was an advantage. But I just got so unlucky. You got very unlucky. But yes. The dice, it's the dice. But we also have Sentry's armor has been sundered. You're currently one AC down, minus two to your attack and damage rolls.

You're aware. You can punch me in the face whenever you want. Not now, Tom, later. All right, to kick things off. We can add it to our TikTok playlist. Yeah! Tune into our TikTok to see me. All right, whilst you guys make jokes, Maximilian Taldros, whose turn it is, is a bit anticlimactic to

have an NPC go straight away, but Max is just going to make two great double attacks. Yeah, but it's Max. Yeah. Max Devayne. What an NPC. Max Devayne. He hits the Warnite. I thought you said Max Devayne.

No, you didn't. That was the joke. Max hits the Warnite with his first attack, which is going to do some damage. Uh-oh, but the second one. He does 13 points, so half that down to six to the Warnite. His second attack, however, is a clumsy strike. Watch as, I think because Max isn't wielding

a magical weapon, Max brings his greatsword down, the Warnite catches it between her palms, and then just twists and snaps the blade. And it's just gonna destroy, because it's's a mundane weapon she's just gonna destroy it well magic sword he doesn't have a magic sword I have a magic weapon yet it doesn't have a magic weapon just as normal and she see max kind of like holding this now sort of Yeah, yes, he never had it. I've never had magic weapons. Starbate never loved him. And so you see Max kind of like holding this now sort of broken greatsword. Still usable, but it's going to definitely be

not as effective in the future. But that is Max's turn. The Warnite then goes next. And the Warnite is going to do a couple of things. Who's up next on the cards? So I will tell you, yeah, so there's a lot of NPCs because it's a very complicated combat. We've got a bunch of enemies. The first of you guys who's going to go, in fact, I'll just tell you, yeah, so there's a lot of NPCs because it's a very complicated combat. We've got a bunch of enemies.

The first of you guys who's going to go, in fact, I'll just tell you your order, Sentry's at the very top of the round. Then it will be Nova, then Quill, then Lucius, then Aayla. How bad did you roll? No, your initiative was 15. Just everybody else rolled really, really well. Yeah.

I have advantage on initiative, right? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Jesus. So the Warn initiative, right? Yep. Wow. Jesus. So the Warnite, Elwynn, having just briefly had this vision as Lucius tried to reach into her mind

and free her of this control, now as you felt your presence ejected from it, Lucius, you see that any sort of control or humanity that was left in Elwynn is taken away from her and now just explodes. The fiery armor erupts with flame. You see her skin darken as it begins to burn and crackle. And she summons to her hand a giant mace flaming with embers.

And she's going to slam it into the ground and leave it there. And as it hits the ground, the entire tower, the walls within about 60 feet, and the ground in the keep's grounds, all begin to smolder and burn as giant cracks and fissures of intense steam and heat and flame erupt. And the hammer is almost like it's breaking into the stone, trying to force its way further into the ground as it leaves these giant cracks and rivets and crevices of flame and and steam bursting from it

uh she uses the legendary action victor per ignum uh now you see just this immense a massive 60 foot radius area around the tower including the entire tower itself sentry all the walls around you this intense heat builds up um yeah that's it uh and then they will make uh three attacks as well um focusing on lucius she's gonna you've still got two mirror images up currently i check this you currently still have two mirror images she's going to attack you twice and then she is going to probably attack but the bum quill you're just flying nearby she's actually a throw a spear at you okay she summons like a blade swipes twice at Lucius and then summons a spear and throws it at Lucius no so I need to see if I hit first if I miss you don't need to worry about the wrong so the

first attack against you Lucius is a 22 you wanna roll for your mirror image? Eight or higher, 14. Destroys one of the mirror images. Frustrated, she swipes through, trying to remove these irritating images. That's a natural one, so the next one she misses. Now there's only two of the Luciuses left, but you're kind of shifting between them as she's trying to swipe through,

desperately trying to figure out which is the real one. And then last thing, she just hurls like a javelin towards Quill. And that is going to be a 17 to hit Quill. Reactions are regained at the start of your turn, right? They are regained at the start of your turn. Okay, I will shield that one. All right, okay.

So it misses. As a spectral shield is summoned. Sir Godric's turn. Oh no. You see the Death Knight. This seems a bit unwinnable in my, just coming in with fresh eyes. No, I mean, yeah, you've done a lot of damage.

The Warnight, it looks heavily, heavily injured, and there were a lot more here, Katie. There were minions, there were other knights, a lot has been done. There's a Wyvern that's dead on the ground. No, but there's three other knights. The Famine Knight is super far away at the moment. Nope.

The famine knight is... No, no, sorry, not the famine. The plague knight. The plague knight, yeah. Only Nova has to worry about them for now. That's not our problem. But I will say that there is one immediate problem. So Godric lifts a hand,

and you can see he's almost distracted. He keeps turning to the destroying tree behind him and he looks concerned, but then he looks back towards the tower. He raises his hand and seems to whisper something and an effect takes place. Oh. Not Finger of Death again.

It's not Finger of Death again. I do just need to, because I didn't link the spells here. Yeah, Quill almost got Finger of Death last week. Did he get Finger? Yeah. You guys can see this being cast if Lucius and Quill want to make arcana checks

to see what spell this is. Yeah. You can try and identify it. I got 12. 12, no. 20. 20. Lucius, this is a silent spell. And Godric lifts up, whispers a thing,

and yeah, a 20-foot radius sphere is gonna encompass the tower. We can't cast spells. Okay, that's what you get out before the silence hits. So for the duration of this, yeah, basically any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to thunder damage and creatures are deafened.

Casting a spell that includes verbal components is impossible, so you need to check your spells and see which ones are not. So as Lucius is like, we can't cast spe... And then suddenly all sound is muffled. The movements, the steam, the rage of the Warnite, all of it completely engulfed. Sentry, this includes you by the way,

because it is a 20 foot sphere sphere, so it encumbrance the top floor below you. Everything suddenly goes silent. The Errant, at the start of his turn, will take 10 points of fire damage from all this steam and flame that's now being summoned around you. Actually, it has to make a con save as well. Seems to be struggling, but he's still going to try and swipe at you on their turn. They are just going to make three attacks with their greatsword. The first one is going to miss. The second one is going to hit with a 26.

And then the last one is going to be a miss. So they're going to hit you for 15 slashing damage, and then four points of necrotic damage. And can you make a constitution saving throw, please? Yeah. 15. 15. You succeed. You feel that channeling this necrotic energy through, they attempt to almost do like a similar to your divine smite,

but this would have had some other effect, but you managed to resist it. It tries to weaken your muscles, but you managed to avoid it as they try and strike. That is the end of the current round. What happens now is the tree behind Nova having sustained heavy fire from the storm chaser, having been blasted and cracking, you've heard like the creaking of wood,

the snapping of branches, begins to fully collapse and is now destroyed this has a number of effects so for you like Nova this is all happening behind you like you're trying to outrun this you know destruction and it's not like the whole thing is gonna collapse in on the keep itself but like branches are snapping and breaking parts of the outer walls you can see like like rivulets of like greenish, bluish magic are like running through it. And it's just fading of power. Like that black pollen stops to fall down.

The grieving errant that just tried to strike you, suddenly like you've been seeing like this black Icarus substance come from their eyes and ears and their nose. They strike you and then they lift their blade and then they just collapse down as if they've just dropped dead. They just collapse to the ground. Hell yeah.

Any of the other minions that you'd seen, none of those are still alive, but you can hear the cries of undead from outside as well as if a great ripple of force has just sort of collapsed all the undead around you. The night commanders stagger for a moment, as if suddenly hit by a powerful wave of nausea or pain. They stagger for a moment.

They basically have a reduced AC now, while they're under this kind of effect. They'll have disadvantage on any attack rolls they make for this turn, because they are basically hit by this stunned sort of like, as if some great power has been sapped out of them. Is that fiery spear embedded in the ground still going? It still remains, yeah. So that is because it was activated, it still remains.

The mace is there. She left the mace there and it's just in the ground, like pumping out heat and stuff. Nice. The undead that are underneath Sir Godric seem unaffected by this. Ah, okay. And they are like, you can see,

it's not hard to tell he is directly controlling them. So that's probably why. All right, so that is at the top of the round. So we go to Sentry. Okay, well, while that knight's gone down, I'm gonna run back up to the top. Yeah, tight squeeze, but... Is sentry large?

No. No. We just checked that. And I'm going to make two attacks against the war knight. Yep, reduced AC currently. All righty. Let's rock and roll. But anything under a 10 as well.

Oh, and at the start of your turn, sentry, the only thing is just at the start of your turn, can you make a... You will take 10 as well. Oh, and at the start of your turn, Century, the only thing is just at the start of your turn, can you make a... You will take 10 points of fire damage, and can you make a constitution saving throw for me, please? Of course. As these flames just continually emit these... 16 plus 7, 21.

You are fine. So you can feel this heat trying to sap your strength and your will, but yeah, you take the 10 fire damage, but no other effect. Now, please make your turn. Okie dokie. Oh, that's not good. That's not good. Three plus...

Was it a three on the roll? Three on the roll. I'm afraid to say it's going to be not just a miss, but she grabs the tip of Starbreaker and squeezes and a crack. Oh, Starbreaker. Minus one to the attack and damage roll. Starbroker. Oh, my God.

Starbroker. That was your first attack. Yeah. Century's going to be pissed if she's going to try again. Yeah. Oh, it's a seven on the roll. Seven is enough not to... No, actually, I think I changed it.

No, it's...'s uh so again same thing like like has already gripped you try and force it down and just smashes into the side and another deeper crack minus two did they both hit though still uh seven plus your bonus 13 20 that wouldn't actually still technically hit so because the reduced effect nice cool it does still hit on the second that going for you. Nice. Normally it wouldn't have. Let's do some Divine Smites. Let's get this.

Let's get it going. Yeah, and she is looking hurt. There is just rage and destruction left. Four, five. Is she undead? Yes, technically they are undead. Another D8 to the pile. While Rhi is rolling,

Nova Hexblade cursed Elwynn before she went away. Yes, technically they are undead. The d8 to the pile. While Rhi is rolling, so Nova hexblade cursed Elwynn before she went away. Would that still be in place despite the distance? I can't find anything about distance or dissipating if it's away or... I think it would be, yeah. But I think to do your, like your, it's only against you, isn't it?

Like the reducing, like making the attacks miss and stuff, I think. The effect on my armor of hexes and stuff like that. I don't have any of that anymore. Oh, that's right, yeah, because you do. But the key thing that I'm looking at is if she dies, I get hit points back. Would I still get hit points?

Yeah, I think so. Don't see why not. Well, yeah. As long as it's still in effect. Not that I want to jinx this or anything. Oh. Level 3 Divine Smite, 46 damage. 46.

Can you tell me how much of that was from the lance? Because I need to reduce that. 46 minus 7, so... 39. 39. Just from the lance, sorry. So the 2d12s, yeah, and your modifier. And 20.

So 20. So that would become, so you should take 10 from that, and then you did 40, how much? 46 total. So then it would be 26 radiant. Okay, so 36 damage total. So with that, although she does manage to smack into the side of the lance, you force it down into her neck,

and the spiraling energy breaks and shatters part of the armor, now exposing almost her shoulder and the top half of her arm. You can see just this blackened, burnt skin, but there's still these red veins almost emitting fire and steam from within her own body, but now all the armor is shattered and broken around her shoulder, just like screaming as you do.

Still standing, though. Still standing. Oh, goddamn. End of turn, Century? End of turn, thank you. All right, Nova Vija. So we kind of cut across to the rooftops of the Great Temple, and we see a couple of these giant pieces of the tree falling down. You know that Shade and Hotshot, they're just within range,

but now you're over the rooftops, they're somewhere underneath you, you don't really know where they are. But what do you want to do? Have I seen Cerise recently? You saw her just as you basically left the tree and then flew out. You're now probably not able to see her from where you are. Imagine that you've kind of got a giant massive cathedral underneath you.

So there's a big tower and stuff, and that's probably gonna block line of sight to her. I kind of want to reconnect with Hot Shot and Shade. You would just need to go back down to ground level. Yeah. If I go down to, like, can I see Cerise? Yeah, if that's what you want to do, but you'll need to make that decision and then deal with, like, if she can see you,

that will just be where you are. It's like, do you go down and try and find Hotshot and Shade, which means basically flying off the roof down into, like, the grounds off the roof down into like the grounds of the temple and you'll probably have to go through the temple itself. Cerise will then probably be able to see you if she's down there or you can continue flying along the rooftops and maybe you'll get cover or protection from where she is. I want to go and connect with Hotshot and Shade.

You fly back down to where you saw them and you see the pair of them basically look like they're going through a side entrance. If you've been to a grand cathedral, you know that they sometimes have these little annexes and cloisters to the side. They're basically about to enter a doorway when they see you flying down. You also do see, still emerging from this cocoon dripping in sack, her armor not quite fully formed, one of her legs very thin and mutated, almost like it was still skeletal almost,

not quite as if she's not been fully regrown, a pair of vestigial insect-like wings buzzing at her back, and she staggers out, you! And she's gonna, yeah, no, she's not gonna attack, but she has seen the group of you, basically. So I'm going to take up a defensive, like kind of hunker down in front of Hotshot and Shade,

bring up the shield and say, Cerise Fairwind. Is it Fairwind? Yep. Cerise Fairwind, stand down. I destroyed the tree. I will destroy you. Can't help it. It just does not seem to be.

There is a force at play here that is not allowing them to have their own free will. Are they close enough for me to attack? Not melee. They're still at a decent range. They're probably like 60, 70 feet away. And they're drawing their bow. They're not going to be coming closer. They're just drawing a bead on away. In which case... And they're drawing their bow. They're not going to be coming closer. They're just drawing a bead on you.

In which case, I will say to Hotshot and Shade... Yeah, you can give commands to them. I need healing, please. Shade, heal me. Hotshot, attack with me. Okay. Shade begins pulling out a single potion of regular healing. Better nothing!

Yeah, okay, well, I'll make their attacks afterwards, but yeah, if you want to do... So it's going to have to be an Eldritch Blaster, I think. Because that's what I can do at this range. First is a 18 to hit. 18's not enough. She actually dodges to the side. 22 to hit. Will hit. 15 points of damage.

15. Kind of catches her in the shoulder. 30 to hit. 30 hits. 10. 10 points of force damage. Staggers her back a second time. 29 to hit. 30 hits. Uh, 10. 10 points of force damage. Staggers her back a second time. 29 to hit.

29 hits. Uh, 10 to hit, 10 damage. 10 points of damage. Kind of slamming into her form. You remember fighting Cerise before, she is still very tough as well, even not fully formed, injured, but still capable of fighting. And just like, is just drawing the bow like,

finish you off. Like just is, you know, really straining and struggling, but still capable. Can I bonus action drink a potion of greater healing? You can, yeah. Do you want me to roll it? Yes, please. That's going to be...

4d4 plus four. Yep, I got it. That's going to be 13 points of healing. Is that plus the 4? That's plus the 4, yep. 13, and then Shade basically, clunk, pours another one in your mouth, which is a regular, for 9 points of healing. Rolled quite high on that one. And then Hotshot will take a blast with her Arm Cannon, unfortunately missing, as it goes wide.

Cool. End of turn, Nova. End of turn. The Plague Knight, Cerise Fairwind, goes directly after you. So you've got them behind you, right? You said that you were going to stand in front of them. She pulls out, hooks a piece of long sinew to her arrow,

and is going to fire a tethering shot. I need you and the two guardians to make dexterity saving throws. I'll worry about the guardians. Okay. Nine. Nine points. You are going to take full damage. They are going to take half damage.

They do manage to jump out of the way of the tether. The tether basically connects you to the door behind you. Now you have this long sinewy rope shot through your chest or through your side of your body, digging into the stone. I'm just going to take the average damage here because I don't have enough D8s.

How much HP do you have? 57. 54 points of poison damage. You would not have those potions. Damn. But yeah, this arrow, and you feel the poison kind of rupture through you. I also need you to make a,

nope, that's a different thing. The two guardians are going to take half that damage, which is 25, 27. They look nearly as badly as you. They have three hit points left each. Wait, so you all have three? Yeah, every single one of them has three hit points left. Okay.

That's fine. And she stays like 60 feet back. And in fact, actually, we'll move to the side and find a piece of the broken tree and is like ducking behind it as cover, basically. We go to Quill on the other side of the battlefield. Yeah, so in terms of D&D rules. At the start of your turn, can you take 10 fire damage

and make a constitution saving throw for me, please? As this mace which is like, you know, trying to break like the ground is cracked around it, almost like it's too heavy for the tower's stone, is emitting this like incredible flaming presence. Oh boy. I got 13. On the con save?

Yeah. You gain a level of exhaustion as the intense heat is sapping away on your strength. Okay, let's just remind myself of what level 1 exhaustion is. It's disadvantage on ability checks, so things like attack rolls and saving throws, you're okay for now. Okay, the radius on this heat, did you say it was 30? 60. 60. Massive, yeah.

So that's why you're still like, even though you're like 10 feet off the ground, you're still in like the area of its effect because it's like emanating this heat around. Is it radiating from the weapon itself? From the weapon itself, yes. And in terms of D&D rules... And it is a physical weapon.

Like it is like stuck in there. If I, can I, A, can I hold a bonus action uh yes i would say you can does it cost an action to hold a bonus act i think i would that's how i would rule it yes so you would use your action to hold an action which then also uses my reaction yes okay um i want to while i'm near ayla I want to mime a throwing action. I'm doing this. And I'm pointing at the flying knights. And then I want to fly 45 feet along the battlements.

Yeah, you're about 10 feet away. If you go 45, that would put you 55 feet away from the hammer. I think I've only got 45 feet of flying speed, so... You are just on the cusp. Yeah, but it's the best I can do. But if you want to fly it diagonally up, I would say that if you get up, the cooling air would actually lessen it.

I want to stay behind the wall. That guy tried to finger me last time. Right, so you're going to duck down behind the wall. Oh, like in the back. The wall that we're currently on. You're going to use that as cover? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. So I want to just fly... You're still in the radius the wall. Like the wall that we're currently on. You're gonna use that as cover. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I wanna just fly out.

You're still in the radius of the heat, unfortunately. And I will hold a... Are you not all quiet at times right now? I'm miming to you. Yeah, but can you cast that if you're silent? Once you get 20 feet away from the tower, you can hear again. like the sound comes back. But also the spell, it's a bonus action

to finish the thing, and I don't think that's a verbal thing. Every one of my spells is. You can now cast spells. Oh, right, okay. Yeah, so yeah, my plan is to hold the holy weapon Burr. Triggering effect. For when Aayla throws it.

Okay. And I hope, if I had an action, I would send a message to the storm chaser. I'm hoping the blast of light from the holy weapon explosion on top of that guy also has the storm chaser fire at them too.

Okay. It's like a flash, isn't it, of light? It doesn't create light. It's a burst of light. The holy weapon creates light, but the burst is like a flashbang. Yeah, but it's also, yeah, burst of blinding light. It's a burst of light. The holy weapon creates light, but the burst is like a flashbang. Yeah, but it's also a burst of blinding light. But it's also like an instantaneous pop.

All right. In that case, end of turn? End of turn. Lucius. Lucius. Okay. Ten points of fire damage and a con save to begin with. Can I absorb elements?

Fire. That would be your reaction to do, yes? That would be the reaction you gain from this turn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so absorb elements, half damage, take five fire damage. And because you gain resistance to fire, you don't need to make a con save. You can avoid the effects of the extreme temperature because you have resistance to fire.

You see the captain's command sword imbue with fire. Cause absorb elements, doesn't it? Oh. Now, benevolent DM. Oh, sure. Here we go. Middle name Humes. Yep. My stormcaller's chain has call lightning on it.

Would it require me to do the verbal? Does the spell have a verbal component? Yes, it does. But it's like in the chain. It is, but it's like you being like Stormcaller chain! Chain, use lightning! It's like, I summon Stormcaller chain in attack mode!

You still have to activate the command word. In which case, I'm going to swing my sword at Elwynn. Okay. You get a nine or lower. Captain's command is magical, isn't it? In which case, I'm going to swing my sword at Elwynn. Okay. Please do. Classic. You get a nine or lower. Captain's command is magical, isn't it?

It is. 20. 20 to hit? That actually will hit because her AC is lower. Is it a natural? Is it a natural 20? No, it's plus 10. Yeah, so with her lowered AC from the effect of the tree being broken and destroyed, that

will actually hit. 1d8 plus 4 plus this fire damage don't have to be don't know if i don't it looks cool though it looks cool seven points seven points of damage uh it is magical slashing it does still get halved unfortunately so that goes down to three it's the look like the thing is is it's her armor and her black and like even with a magical weapon it it's hard to cut through her extremely tough form. So the captain's command does graze it, but... So with your charisma, it looks like it does so much damage.

Yeah, so powerful, so strong. Fluid. I'm like water. Yeah. Beautiful. All right, end of turn? End of turn. Okay. The undead beneath Godric just look up

as if waiting for what they're going to do. Ayla. Hi. Hello. Okay. Noticing that Quill did that. Can you take 10 points of fire damage and a concept, please? I've got to remember this at the start of the turns.

18 plus my con, which is like... Yep, you're fine on the... You don't take any exhaustion, but 10 fire damage. Yes. So, I will do what Quill said, even though I had another idea, because he really wants me to throw the hammer. Sure.

So I'm going to throw it at the knight that he told me to throw at. Yeah, there's two options. Godric is the closer. Yeah, Godric is within 60 feet. Godric gets hammered to face. Yeah, there's two options. Godric is the closer. Godric is within 60 feet. Godric gets hammered to face. Okay, making the attack roll. Because you've got a holy weapon as well, currently,

it will do an extra 2d8 of damage. 23 to hit. 23 would hit. Does he have anything which will allow him to boost? I don't think he has shield or anything. Nope, yep, that hits. And that is with the minus two already. So, okay.

One hit kill. So I get a... I'm just gonna shake my head, just so you don't have false expectations. One hit kill. Of course, he dies. Breaks his neck. 18 with the hammer, that's already minus 2 that's fine

then 4 lightning damage that's just from the hammer oh wait hang on no it would be different it would be 4 10 14 15

16 lightning damage because of the the lightning does get resisted, so it's half damage, so eight. And then it will be eight radiant damage. Eight points of radiant damage. That does not, and there's no resistance against that. The hammer slams into Godric's chest. Technically, if I threw that through in a line to him... That's 60 feet.

It wouldn't hit Lana Leaves then? No, would it hit her? Yes. On the way past? She gets 16 lightning damage then. Yep, okay. It's just the lightning damage. Yeah, absolutely.

Does she have 16 lightning? She does not. 16 points of lightning damage. Nice. Silence is concentration, right? Silence is concentration. Oh, yeah. I'm not worried about that.

I am. But does he lose it? He could let it resist. Could do. But... Could... Yeah, sure. So the total damage would have been 8.

You did 15 normal damage. 18 with the hammer. 18 normal damage. 16 lightning plus eight radiant. 18, 26, 32, 34. Yeah. 34, half 34 is 17. Exactly what I rolled. So the silence remains. Half 34 is 17. Exactly what I rolled.

So the silence remains. Okay, fair enough. Just grunts as it slams into his chest. So I have bonus action. Okay. Well, first things first, a held action goes off. As the hammer comes to a stop before it starts to make its way back, bonus action. I want to explode in holy radiance the hammer.

Okay. Blow it up. Oh! I want to blow up. I will burn you! No. Blow up that hammer for good, and it will do 4d8 of radiant damage,

and each creature of choice within a 30-feet range must make a constitution save. Okay, won't hit the undead on the ground because these guys are flying higher up than that. Cool. But yeah. That's fine. Well, both the knights then. Okay. That will do 15 radiant damage to both the knights.

15 radiant damage to both the knights. And what's the DC on the saving throw? It's, I guess it's my spell save. It is, yeah. 21, right? 22. 22? 22.

And it's what, it's blinded? Blinded. All right. For one minute. The famine knight is blinded. You see like, ah, like holds his hands up, like clutching over his eyes. Godric just stares into it.

Just doesn't seem to be effective. So he saved. He did. He takes half damage then okay that's right and yeah a blind a creature constitutes and save to end to end that's fine yeah I'm hoping that is light enough for the storm chaser as well that wasn't casting a spell either of you was it neither of of you cast a spell? I used a bonus action to essentially end my spell. No, no, no, it's fine. I know magic. No, it's a different thing. I still have a bonus action. Would it be counted as a bonus action for me to pull that weapon out of the ground and

yeet it away from us. I will tell you. If the creature wishes to remove the weapon, it would be an action to pull the weapon. Oh, fuck. But I will say that as you think about it, you think once you remove the weapon from the ground, this area will go away. I want to yeet the hammer.

Yeah, it will be an action, though. Okay. All right. No, it's fine. You just did a ton ofet the hammer. Yeah, it will be an action though. Okay. All right. That's fine. You just did a ton of damage to those. End of turn. In which case, bonus action aura lightning damage instead, two. Yes, yeah, absolutely. That's a natural 20 on the saving throw, so she's definitely going to succeed.

15 lightning. So half to seven. And then end of turn. I've got so many things to scroll through. I'm actually losing where they are. That blast of lightning, you see Elwynn fall to one knee because she is a large creature. She falls to one knee, clutching the chest. If this was anybody

else, they would be dead. But just... Like, gets up and is just raging at this point. Are they blinded, too, or is it just blinded? No, it's just those guys. The explosion happened way over here. Did the storm chaser do anything?

So, we'll get to that in a minute. Can you just roll a d100 for me though, please, Tom? A d100? Yeah. I have that many signs. If not, I can roll it for you if you don't have any. I just can't. That's cool, I got it.

Bam. A hundred. A hundred. Is it a d100? It's dead a hundred. Okay, good, good to know. I've never seen that rolled before. Good to know.

Or is it zero? Make a wish. Don't. I can't, I don't know where it's gone. I wish I rolled 100. I did! He's stuck in the loop. It's because of the wish that I rolled 100.

But I needed to roll 100 to get the wish. Your nose is bleeding. The famine knight kind of like, I can't see. And just sort of like mumbling. You can hear those outside the silence can hear this. I just need to check one thing. I need to see if this certain spell needs line of sight. Oh, no.

Line of smell. Oh, no. Line of smell. Oh, no. They know where I am. Imagine if that was a thing. I'd be ruined. Well, they would know where you are if they saw you before you cast a spell. And in fact, that's exactly what's going to happen.

Soiled. They're going to use their summon swarm ability to cast insect plague, which is not the entire set. Love that spell. Around you, Quill. Sex biting mosquitoes and fleas. When the area appears, any creature must make a constitution saving throw.

Can you make a constitution saving throw? Oh, good. This is not their action, by the way, casting the spell. This is an ability they have at the start that's so cool nine nine uh that is gonna be uh 4d turn piercing damage holy what yeah there's a lot of bugs it's like you ever been bit my mosquito yeah only 13 only 13 points of piercing pretty bad yeah um but the sphere But the area will remain. It's a 20-foot radius sphere around you.

They can't get through. That was their... Beginning of the turn, that was their summon ability. Can't get through the photos. No. I'm so thick. I don't want to use anything while Elwynn is there. Kill her.

Kill her. Yeah, kill her. Could do. No, don't, because it's probably worse for us I need it somehow it will be worse line of sight for this spell yes do I need line of it's my body in that case they are just gonna they are gonna hold their action in fact that's it until they can see Oh. Until they can see. She's scheming. Until they can see.

Max, Emile, and Teldros, doesn't take any fire damage, doesn't care about the intense heat. Oh, yeah, of course. Your flames mean nothing. They are nothing compared to the flames of Gideon. Wow. That's me when you guys complain about the heat. You see Max just like, call yourself a knight.

You've fallen too far. And like comes in with a big swing. With the broken weapon. In fact, he's going to use his bonus action to cast Blinding Smite on his weapon. Ooh. Oh, he can't, silence. And his weapon.

Oh, that's true. He can still cast it, it's broken. Okay, so he is using a broken weapon. He says something, none of you hear what he says, it's just... Does it look cool though? Looks pretty cool, but nobody hears anything because he's in silence and he doesn using a broken weapon. He says something. None of you hear what he says. It's just... Does it look cool, though? Looks pretty cool,

but nobody hears anything because he's in silence and he doesn't know how to spell. I lip read it. You lip read it, and that's why you know exactly what Max said. I'm going to tell everyone what he said. It was just like...

Through the thugs. Staring at him. His first attack is going to miss. It's not clumsy, but it does miss because of the broken weapon effect. The second one, even of the broken weapon effect. The second one, even with the broken great sword,

19 plus four is 23, is still gonna be enough. I'm gonna have it do half damage, basically. Champion of the broken blade. Seven, nine, 10. Broken blade. Five points of damage, which is already halved, which is how many hit points? Yes!

Hates a kill steal. No, do it! Plunges the broken... All right, Gaxxie. He plunges the broken greatsword into her chest, shattering the broken bit of the armor as she staggers back, nearly falling off. But you've seen this.

She is orcish, and there is a step moment where she's just like... Gah! She goes to one-hit per. nearly falling off, but you've seen this. She is orcish, and there is a step moment where she's just like, she goes to one hit point. Just pop her on the nose. Yeah, that's it, it's basically, it's like the about to die, no, I'm too angry. I'm too angry to die.

Exactly. That's me in real life. And that was Max's turn. On her turn, she's going to go. And I think she's going to basically, yeah, try and take the vengeance out on Maximilian. No! I'll protect my boy.

You are up there. There is an Aayla between you. What's the range on your... Five feet. No, unfortunately, can't protect. Too close. But yeah, she's going to make three slashing attacks against Max. between you what's the reason you're is five feet no unfortunately can't protect too too close but yeah she's gonna make three slashing attacks against uh Max uh it's gonna be the first one is going to be a miss second one is going to be a hit and the third one is going to be a hit uh so let's go that's gonna be a pretty world damage uh so that's going to be 10, 16.

Immune to fire, so he takes the 16 from that first one. His armor then gets, you see his armor, it's non-magical armor, she rips like the chest, Pete just breaks and snaps, completely exposing Max's chest. Oh yeah. Oh, fan artists, enjoy that. You. Me, fanartists. Enjoy that one. You.

Me? No, never. Who? Me. Me. And that was it, because the first one missed. So yeah, just and then this slashing, this ragged edge sword bites into the armor and just rips it off Max in his tearing chunks. He's screaming as the armor is pulled off of him. Oh, no!

A heaving chest covered in oil. You're asking a heaving bosom. I don't know what I was going to say. Right, okay. After the war knight's turn, Sir Godric will hold his head for a moment. He will, he points at Llamaleves. In fact, he will reach over, and as a bonus action,

he touches Llamaleves and ends the blinded condition. At which point, Llamaleves will, the Famine Knight will use their held action. Which is gonna target, who's the first person they can see? Lucius is the main one that they can see as a withering ray is fired 23 to hit you Lucius so this is gonna be it's a million the silence seven points of cold damage. Your resistance, how many? Do you have no resistance? And your strength is reduced by one.

Oh, no. If it gets to zero, it is oh, no. What happens if you're already at minus two strength? And it keeps going down. So your seven would become a six, and that would become a minus three. What happens if he goes to zero, though though if any of you go to zero you die but I'm already at zero not a zero strength oh just yeah I mean the actual

score yeah if the score goes to zero you are dead and also you can't be resurrected until that gets fixed like that's like dead dead. That's not like death saving throws dead. That's dead dead. They can't make you go to the gym if you're dead. So that was bonus action. Remove the blinded condition. Godric will then turn. You hear Godric say. Do we if we're in the silence? Quill does.

The rest of you don't. Quill's the only one who hears this. I'll communicate it later. At least, Adele win. Press the attack. I must return to. I'll release Edelwyn. Press the attack. I must return to the temple to revive the Rot Heart. And Godric and his undead minions head back to the temple.

Oh, but before he goes he will look over towards Elwyn Your fight's not finished. And he will clutch black flames as he basically heals Elwyn with his last action. Phase two, baby. How heal was this? It wasn't heal, was it? as he basically heals Elwynn with his last action. Oh! Phase two, baby!

How heal was this? It wasn't heal, was it? Pretty heal, yeah. Oh, it's like he didn't have space. So it's at least 70 healing. Oh, is it 70? I'll take two. Well, at the lowest level.

No, no, no. It's effectively a heal spell. It's like an undead variant of heal spell. But yeah, he just, this black flame sort of surges into her, and then he will walk off. Bye. Look, I'm out of here. To revive the Rothart as well. You didn't hear that, though.

Love has given you orders. Lucius is distracted by Max's chest anyway. How long does the silence last if he's not around to... So, that's what I'm going to check in a minute. I just need to get the rest of these mignons. Mignon. Filet mignons. Oh! last if he's not around so that's why i'm gonna check a minute i just need to get the rest of these minions minions hi tick tock for the duration is concentration and it's for the duration once it's a once it's conjured it lasts until he loses concentration or ends so you got a hope

that he forgets about it or starts concentrating on something else right all you could move it is a 20-foot radius however there is some good news at the end of the round the Storm Chaser gets to fire again. Oh, but he left. He did leave, but the position that he was at, so as Godric, just as he gets out of range, the Storm Chaser's cannons, and because of that 100, I'm not going to roll, they hit exactly on point,

which is going to include Lamelies. Hell yeah. So I'm going to basically give Lamelies a deck saving throw here. That's all right. It's is going to include lamalys hell yeah so i'm going to basically give lamalys a deck saving throw here that's all right it's not going to be enough this is going to be a lot of damage can you roll uh 3d10 and then times it by three uh 3d10 yeah i'll just do it i'll have tom do it because he rolled the d10 dunder and under what have I rolled? One. No, I rolled. You rolled a lot of things that were not. D10. Five plus four.

Nine plus three, 12. 12 times three. 36. 36 points of damage as this blast from one of the storm chasers' cannons incinerates the ground around it and catches lamb leaves into it. And you can see that they're kind of staggered

by this immense blast as it falls down on them. Does their mount take damage, or is that a separate thing? It would do, actually. I mean, it is technically a separate creature. It probably would have had. That will succeed, so it will take half. Yeah, it would have taken the damage from the other ones. And from the other ones.

I would say that's probably going to make, even with the saving throw, that's probably enough to kill it. However, Lamelies doesn't fall. He just remains floating in the air. What's the point of the other ones. And from the other ones. I would say that's probably going to make, even with the saving throw, that's probably enough to kill it. However, Lamelies doesn't fall. He just remains floating in the air. What's the point of the horse then? Because it's cool. Exactly. I'd ride a flaming skeletal steed if I could fly.

Exactly. I can fly. It also just seems to be an innate thing. You don't know if it might be a magic item or something like that, but it's just hovering in place. I take it back. That's cool to tell. All right. Brand new round. We go to the top, Sentry.

Start of your turn, can you please take 10 points of fire damage and make another con save for me, please? Yar. I should probably heal, to be honest. Maybe I should heal. I can see Sentry's hit points. Yeah, maybe I should heal heal, to be honest. Maybe I should heal. I can see Century's hit points. Yeah, maybe I should heal. Maybe.

21. 21 points. Oh, sorry, 21 on con save. You don't take any exhaustion, but you did take the 10 fire damage, but no levels of exhaustion. What would you like to do? Then Nova, you're up next.

Smart me wants to heal. Unsmart me says no heal smack time. I like both of those plans. Yeah. I should probably be smart, though. It hasn't worked out for me. I could try it. One more round.

I should try it. Are you on three HP still, Nova? Yeah. I'm tethered. Yeah. I could... Far away from everyone. I could go... Godric's coming towards me. Mate, yeah. Yeah. Far away from everyone. Godric's coming towards me.

Wait, yeah. I mean, yeah. Oh, God. I could go one more round, probably. I could go one more round. Ventrate! Okay, I love it. Go for it.

Do what you're going to do, dude. I believe in you. I want to buy us a little bit of time, so I want to enlarge and then Spartan kick. Yes, girl! Yeah. i want to buy us a little bit of time so i want to enlarge and then spot and kick uh yes girl yeah okay yeah yeah i mean yeah i mean when when she was on one hit point i was i was gonna kick her off there so there i will say this like there is not enough actually no because the tower is a bit bigger than the representation here. Yeah, you can enlarge, yeah. Enlarge and spunk kick?

Yeah, I mean, you can try. Everyone is pushed to the wall. We all die. You shove. You're all crushed. I get advantage on strength if I'm enlarged. You do. So, there is...

I was checking these rolls for shoving. This is the second time she's fallen on this tower. You're just BMing at this point. Don't stand on the edge of the tower. This is just second time she's fallen on this tower. Yeah. You're just BMing at this point. Don't stand on the edge of the tower. This is just BM. So. Sort of like 2.5. Showing creature. So you can use the attack action.

So one of your attacks becomes a special type of attack. Target must be no more than one size larger than you. They're the same size as you now. Instead of making an attack roll, you make a strength athletics check contested by their strength athletics check. You both have advantage on these so yeah you advantage i get advantage oh you need to roll one did you not 20 now what's the modifier what's your strength bonus

oh my god it's gonna be big. Just plus strength, just normal strength. Just strength modifier, yeah. Plus four. Plus four. Okay, all right, I think I've got something that I think you'll go with, all right? Because we both tied. Do we throw each other off?

But you won't, that's what I was gonna have. Yay! The force is enough, but Elwynn grabs your leg and pulls you with her. Hell yeah. As you and Elwynn both, oh shit. This tower, I think I said, was like 20 feet tall. Oh my god.

So. I don't know, is six points of damage gonna be on you? No. No, I don't think so. The two of you go flying down. I'm gonna land on that beach. Just that bitch, not this bitch. Yeah.

So yeah, you both fly down. You still have an attack left. You're prone. So you have disadvantage. But actually, you haven't moved. So you can get back up and you can make an attack if you want. And would you have advantage because she's prone? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So you can attack with advantage. I love it. Okay, let's go. Has she still got reduced AC as well from the nausea blast?

It's been the end of a round. No, that last J.A.A. That last. 19. With the reduced AC, that will just hit. Yep, just hits. Rock and roll. Okay.

I almost imagine that you could be doing this attack in midair as well. Oh, yes. Yeah, yes. Like, yeah. Right, let's see how many. As she's grabbed your leg, you're just plunging Starbreaker down. I did not plan for this to happen. That'd be the second wave that she's killed a knight.

Yeah. Is that not cool? She killed the first one in the same way. I just love dogpiling on knights. If she kills them. If, yeah. Yeah. Okay, let's do another level three.

One, two, three, sixty. You took ten off. Sixty. No, I added eighty and then I took ten off. Two, two, three, four. Seven. Yeah, seven. Get these out of there.

You don't count. All right. She's rolled off. I, 6. No, I added 80 and then I took 10 off. 2, 2, 1. 7. Yeah, 7. Get these out of there. You don't count. She's rolled off. And again, if you can give me the normal damage first, so not the radiant damage.

Starbreaker damage is 13. With modifiers? With modifier plus 20. 20 last time. Okay, so 10 from Starbreaker and then the radiant damage separately. Radiant damage is 10, 15, 28, 31 radiant damage plus a d4 because I'm big boy now.

You are big. That also halved. So that's a three. So I got halved to one, unfortunately. So that was... A lot. 31 plus... Was that 31?

Mm-hmm. I've done it. It's fine. We don't's fine. It's something like about 50-something. 20 if you take away the half, because it was half normal damage. It was about 50-something damage. Okay. But yeah, you fall, slamming, and again, you're like, it's like, just as this Starbreaker, this kind of jagged, now semi-broken tip is embedded in her,

all these desperate wounds, as there's just this flaming rage in her eyes. But yeah, you're now standing on top, over her, on the ground. Can I just say to her, it doesn't have to end this way. There's no coherency left. After the attempt by Lucius, any personality has not been allowed to exist. 20 feet at the very bottom it's not oh so actually this conversation takes place because it was 20 feet from the tower so we hear the

slam or we don't hit no we don't you don't hear this conversation straight you are from like complete silence to BAM! It's so loud! As you were falling in silence, and then as you impacted the ground, that's the first sound you hear. Cool. All right.

Pretty cool. End of turn? End of turn. Nova Vija. How far away is Cerise from me? 60, I think, yeah, 60 feet behind cover. While everything else was happening, I rolled a con check on my fly.

Okay. I rolled a 17, which against a 54, I believe, is not enough. I mean, like, 24, 25 DC. So your fly is unfortunately gone. I will turn to hotshot and shade and tell them to run. And... Make a persuasion check. I'm says not this time you don't and she looks at you like none of us are gonna win this fight if any of us stay

you stopped me doing one thing once, I can stop this now. And she gets her arm cannon and exposes her matrix and is like, the way I was going to destroy the tree, I can stop her. Just need time. I can't. In the last few seconds, she's just like, all my force died because of me.

Let me make this right. And you see that instead of channeling it into her arm cannon, all that excess energy, she's focusing into her matrix, and it's beginning to like... I was going to go and engage Cerise up close, but I can't now. I wouldn't. Yeah. It's like, we're none of us making it out of here.

Like, you can, like, as you're, like, down, we can imagine that, like, this is, like, Cerise is, like, firing arrows, like, from cover and stuff. I can save you. No, you can't. Shade, get her out of here. Shade's gonna try and cut the rope. Natural 20.

Oh! Splits the tether, but it's your turn. I was going to teleport. If you can, yeah. Can you teleport all of them, though? No! There you go. No, I was going to use Tiangong to get me out of the tether

and get me to her and smack her up with all my stuff. You still can. Do you think you can take her out in one turn? The thing is, I have action surge. If you think you can take her, like, at this point, Hotshot is planning to do this, but if you stop Cerise now, then Hotshot won't have to. How bad does she look?

Who? Cerise. Cerise? Make a perception check for me. Ten. It's hard to tell. She's in cover. Cerise. Cerise? Make a perception check for me. 10. It's hard to tell. She's in cover. She was half formed. You're not sure how much of like the injuries.

She was tough when you fought her before. Like you would have to, like you suspect you would probably have to hit every single attack, like every single strike with Tiangong would have to hit. I have one Indomitable. It's possible. I have an to hit. I have one Indominable. It's possible. I have an Action Surge, I have an Indominable, and I have an Unleash Incarnate.

Indominable won't help because that's saving throws. Oh, sorry, yeah. Unleash Incarnate. Yeah. I mean, if you want to try it, now's the time. But this could be... I do have 3 HP, though. You have 3 HP, as do the two Guardians with you.

Okay. They both look beaten up. What do you want to do? Till all are one. And then I'm going to grab Shade. So there's this cloister, like, you can get into the temple itself. That's the only way you can go. This is like an enclosed, like, courtyard, basically, at the back.

But yeah, if you grab Shade, like, Shade's shade like shades like grabs you and like you both like it in the last thing you see is you just see hot shot just like slam the matrix it's like crack appears and then she just runs and you hear and there is this incredibly large explosion of light that throws the door behind you. You and Shade throw yourselves to the side as it's blown against it. You hear the cracking, breaking of trees as just, yeah, this incredibly large arcane explosion. Not enough, like, basically it would have done

what you did with the light. Not enough to destroy the tree itself, but it would have made it bright enough of an explosion that then the storm chaser could have attacked it basically um but yeah and uh yeah used her overcharged arcane cannon and and matrix uh do you want to make an arcana check for me 20 you think that because she used her matrix that that's it. Hotshot's gone forever. There's no, like, bringing her back into the matrix. She destroyed her matrix to enable that sort of destructive power.

So having the knowledge you have of the prime matrix and, like, your knowledge of magic, like, that wasn't like, oh, she can just go back into the matrix. That was her. Hotshot's gone. All right. End of turn. You basically just use your turn to they should run through yeah so you and shade basically get through uh you make your way through a side cross cloister you basically have like a monk's abbot cloister like a kind of open-aired uh courtyard there is an exit on the opposite side to you that seems to be like a pair of double

doors that lead somewhere and then there is a larger pair of double doors on the side of the cloister. Which way do you want to go? Based on your graphical knowledge, the side of, you know, the sort of like navigational knowledge, that side door leads into the main keep building, the main temple. That one opposite you, you think will

lead out into the courtyard plaza. You'll basically get to either door at the end of this turn. Yeah. Kind of thinking, do I want to go deal with some celestials? Or shall we keep... No, she killed herself to keep us safe.

So the safest thing that I think is to go to the courtyard. Okay. So you basically skirt around the outside of the courtyard. Can I just quickly ask Shade, like, can you go invisible? I can try. I can hide. I don't go invisible, but I can hide. I can sneak well. In which case, I'll cast invisibility on both of us. Okay. All right. Sure. Yeah. And, uh, okay.

All right. Well, I will just reduce the Plague Knight to zero hit points. Uh, Quill. Um, I, uh, so the silence is still in effect. Um. It is. Is there, I suppose there isn't any visual representation of silence. It's just. It's just, like, there's no, like, the guys are, like, shouting and screaming and stuff,

but you're not hearing any sound come from that tower So is it possible for me to fly to a point where I can I'm like on the edge of hearing On the edge of hearing like that in that bubble no sound can be created Yeah, but you can get to 20 feet away at the edge of it. So you could still lip-read You can get to 20 feet away, like, the edge of it. You could still lip read. 5, 10, 15, 20. So you can move to, like, here, and you're kind of, like, flying slightly above.

You can sort of, like, peer in. So I'm pretty much within 20-ish feet of everybody. I want to do a... Oh, god, I am low on spells. I want to do a Mass Cure Wounds. Unfortunately, it's at level 8. What range? Oh, it's 60 feet, Mask Cure Wounds. Okay, so you can hit Sentry?

I can hit Sentry. Amazing. So that's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6d8 of healing. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Plus 6, I think. 39 healing. Oh, two, three, four, five, six, plus six, I think. 39 healing. Oh, boy. Thank you. Yeah, I think everyone, including Max, I think. Except Nova. Oh, yeah. Three hit points. Love it.

She's fine, I'm sure. End of turn? I've got no idea. That is the end of my turn. Oh, did you take 10 fire damage at the start of your turn? Oh, I'm still in the range of that, yeah. You moved into the range of it. You started at 60 feet. And then con save, please. Con save.

Son of a... Eight. Another level of exhaustion. Second level of exhaustion, yeah, which I believe is movement speed, but check it. But yeah, two levels of exhaustion and, yeah, 10 fire damage. Then we go to Lucius if that's the end of your turn. Crap. And then we ala you next off.

I am itching. The tower we're on. 10 points of fire damage constitutes a save. Let's do that before we get, I forget. I'm going to reaction that one again. Okay. All right, then you don't need to make a con save. Fire resistance nullifies the extreme heat.

Yep, five fire damage here. The tower we're on is taller than the walls either side. Just ever so slightly, yeah, but not much. Okay. In which case, I'm going to hop off and go towards Quill, but underneath him so that I'm noticing that he's going out and casting spells. Yep. So you get to where you are about 25 feet out,

and then you suddenly, oh, you can hear the sounds of, like, Sentry and the Warnight. You can hear the sounds of spells and the explosion. I'm going to throw a Chromatic Orb. Yes. Of Radiant. No, I can't do Radiant to Chromatic Orb. You cannot. a chromatic orb Yes? of radiant No, I can't do radiant It's a chromatic orb

You cannot of acid at the mace that's embedded in the floor Okay So I'm trying to stop everyone from getting damaged all the time

Okay So I'm going to do that That is a 31 to hit that mace Sure Yeah, I mean it hits That is a 31 to hit that mace. Sure. Yeah, I mean, it hits. I'm trying to work on my head.

This is first level, so... 19 points of acid damage. I'd say with... Like, it does hit it and it pits the edges and things like that, but this weapon is made of something that isn't like magical metal or some kind that is heavily resistant and it does pit it, but it really doesn't do that much to it.

Okay. That's me. Alright. Yeah, unfortunately, yeah, it just looks like the acid splashes over it, but this isn't like a normal mace. Like, it's some sort of magical weapon. In the same way that if I hit you guys with a magic acid spell, I wouldn't injure your weapons

and things like that as well. Like, it does hit it and damages it slightly, but not enough to stop it doing what it's currently doing. I like to hinder it in any way. You'd have to almost submerse it in acid for it to really kind of take really take that level of damage. All right, end of turn. End of turn.

Ayla. I took my damage. I rolled a 17 plus 11. That's enough, yep. I would like to pick up the weapon and yeet it 60 feet. All right, yeah. So when you go to grab the weapon... Okay.

Well, before you yeet it as well, I'll tell you. So to pick up this weapon, you have to make a DC strength athletics check, please, and you will take 30 fire damage. As you grip the handle, like, your hands blister and burn, but yeah, athletics check. And you'd have advantage because you're raging. 19 plus.

Athletics. Athletics is like 11 or 12. This hammer is, this mace, sorry, is incredibly dense and heavy. Unnaturally so. Like it's made of metal that is making it heavier and weightier. Almost the opposite to the Howling Templars, which is way lighter than it should be.

19 plus 13. Yeah, you, yeah. It's should be. 19 plus 13. Yeah. It's.32. You pick it up. You took the 35 points of damage. You have a choice now. You can use this as a weapon and it deals 4d6

base damage plus 2d8 fire damage if you use it as a weapon. And it counts as a plus 3 weapon. Does it hurt me you use it as a weapon. And it counts as a plus three weapon. Does it hurt me to use it? It will deal you five points of fire damage at the start of every turn you hold it. But the immediate effect,

that kind of broken, cracked ground, ends immediately. Like, pfft. Hell yeah. What if I, like... If you just throw it... Put it in the bag or something. Like, can I... You can try. You can try and put it in the bag or something? Like can I? You can try.

You can try and put it in like a backpack. Do you have a bag of holding or is it normal? We have a haversack. You can try and put it in there, yeah. You're currently like. I imagine that like Howling Tempest is on your back. Like you've got this thing. Cause this is like a two handed, like you have to put that Howling Tempest is on your back. Like you've got this thing. This is like a two handed,

like you have to put the Howling Tempest away. Is it like its bit? Oh yeah, it's massive. Elwynn is a large creature, so a mace in her hands. This is like Sauron's mace, right? From Lord of the Rings. Like long, half, huge, gigantic, flanged head. Like Aayla's definitely,

this is a two-handed weapon for you okay yeah keep it all right can I as long as it's not touching the ground there's no flame effect and ends immediately the exhaustion stays unfortunately what if I was to I I'll figure it out later. Can I jump off the tower onto where Shithead is? Elwynn. Absolutely. Elwynn.

You absolutely can. And can I, so I only, that was my action, so I only have a bonus action and movement so my movement will be to use my own self as a battering ram as I go down so

make a unarmed strike with advantage for me please that was a one sixteen plus thirteen please 16 plus 13 it's gonna hit how much damage did you want an arm strike I think it says 8 yeah it's normally 1 plus your strength mod so 8 8 and then your rage damage bonuses for so 12 I'll do 2d6 for the fall damage max you're gonna take 12 bludgeoning damage,

but I'm going to add another 12 to your thingy. 24 points of bludgeoning damage as you land. It doesn't get halved, but as you land on top of her, you deal 12 points of bludgeoning damage to her as you kind of land on her and then step back to ready to strike. My, oh, I can't do my, yeah, because I'm here and I have bonus action aura

of lightning. Yep. That's a successful save. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 points for lightning.

The lightning damage, again, striking the chest where, like, the starbreaker has nearly drilled in this,

like, hole in through her armor and her chest. The lightning has blasted her. It strikes again, now exposing this blackened, burnt rib cage, and you can see her heart. Even though she's still alive and kicking, enough damage has been dealt to her chest. The armor's been blasted and ripped apart, and now there is this beating heart that almost looks like it's on fire.

It's covered in like these black flames. But yeah, this is like she is on the last few breaths that she has left. That's so cool. End of turn? End of turn. End of turn, all right. Couple more turns and we're gonna break,

but we're wrapping up close to a finish here, I think. more turns and we're going to break uh but we're wrapping up close to a finish here i think uh okay so we have max lucius and quill still up quill how high up would you say you are uh i think i'm pretty much just a long abatement still i was trying to use the wall of it to uh uh hide from so you're still still down low that case, Llama leaves from across the way. Oh, I forgot about Llama. Point their finger, click their fingers, and a ball, a gesture with a flick of their hand as a tiny chip of ice will fly towards you all, and then it explodes in a 20-foot radius. Out of spell. Oh.

Oh. I'm going to do that. Out of level. Casting a spell. Fifth level. You need to roll a d20 plus your charisma modifier, please. What? Hang on, I might portent it.

What my portents again? Carry on. I don't have any. 18. 18 is enough to counter spell. Whoa! Sick level spell. I've realized here. Wait, enough to counter spell. Sick level spell. I do ice here.

Actually wait, I'm outside here. Yeah, but you are, that's it, you are outside. So yeah, as the tiny piece of ice flies your way, you sense this like blue energy. And you know this is, you know, the color of this magic is one you know. And just with a gesture, you dissipate it. You erase it as if erasing color from as if erasing paint from a painting. It just dissipates.

Pretty hard to do, smudges. Yeah. The emerald blitz your way. Oh, I'm looking at you. Yeah, that's it. Tickle him. It moved out of the insect swarm, didn't you? It would have been over there.

I think we should have done damage, but I'm not gonna worry about it now, so I'm just going to carry on. Yeah. All right. After Lamelies, we go to... God, there's so many fingers. So how much do you care about Max kill stealing?

No. No? Because he will see what Ayla did, and he's still in the silence, so he looks down. Ayla will just go, yeah! Join in! And he just like... Because his greats he's still in the silence so he looks down Aayla will just go yeah join in

and he just like because his greatsword is still like in like wedging open like her armor he has like no weapons

so he will just kind of like he'll jump down just like flying kick down I think he's not elbowed not wrestler

but he'll basically just like or like maybe superman punch his way down just like frog or like maybe Superman punch his way down just like... Frog splash. Yeah.

Oh my god. Yeah, he will fly down and you know what? Because he can technically do this, on the way down he'll cast blinding smite on his fist. Sky punch! So this is... The only anime I have watched. He does have advantage.

Get ready for an epic high watched. He does have advantage. Get ready for an epic high five. It's a hit. He would only deal five points of damage with an arm strike, but the blinding smite will give him a boost. I wouldn't high five him now. No. Blinding smite. It's just like, I feel bad that the NPC is kill stealing.

No. No. He's correct. 3d8 extra radiant damage. Yeah, depends on the NPC is kill stealing. No. No. We don't care. 3d8 extra radiant damage. Yeah, depends on the NPC. Nearly max, 14, 17 points of radiant plus the five from his unarmed strike for 18 points of damage.

As he just lands on top of Elwynn, like superhero punch into the chest cavity and the radiant light of his belief in the Valkyrian Empire snuffs out the black flame and the heart stops. And the last thing as you are all out of the silence, you just see the rage dies down.

The fire extinguishes in Elwynn. The fire in her eyes. The rage subsides. And there is a grateful, sad look on this beaten bloodied half or this woman's face and she just mentioned she doesn't even say the word she just mouths it and enough that you can see thank you and then the body goes still. Oh, damn. Hell yeah.

Hell yeah, Max. Hell yeah. Then B-Max and A-List do a triple high five. Yeah. Yeah. Da-da-da-da-da-da. For fuck's sake. With that, we are high due for a break.

So we are going to take a break here, but we're still going to keep going because technically you still have one magey boy and somewhere Sir Godric Graves is up to something. So we're going to join you. That's it for part one. Thank you so much for joining us. We'll see you for part two very, very shortly. Bye.

See ya. See ya later.
