Pickaxe.
Welcome back, everybody.
There it is.
The Poghorn.
Yeah, did you get your popcorn?
Did you get your drink?
Popcorn?
No, Poghorn.
Oh, Poghorn.
That was the sound of the Poghorn. Oh, no, again.
Yeah.
Hey, I think that you join us in a climactic battle
against the Seed of Hadar,
a portion of Hadar's magic that has infected
the Titan Italicus and is now in direct control
of the gargantuan creature.
Tom has just been blinded.
Yeah, I have a laser shot in my eye.
Sorry, I believe that's the nerd scanner.
The nerd scanner.
Yeah, nerd detected.
Keeps coming up positive.
Nerd blinded.
As the champions of Erois have managed to fight off the Seed of Hadar.
At one point, having to be wished away by Lucius,
who wished the party.
Tom just actively made the decision to shine the light directly in
his eyes yeah don't do that yeah yourself yes right can I finish don't do
that you'll go your face will stay like that anyway sorry Americans you won't
understand any of that right Lucius used a wish to temporarily was as a
telekinesis plunged underwater Lucius used a wish to temporarily, as Atelicus was plunged underwater,
Lucius used a wish to teleport the team to safety
above the water where they had a brief moment
to heal, recuperate for a brief second
before they have flown back in to re-engage in the fight.
With a final blow from Sentry,
Atelicus has been forced to take shelter,
sorry, the seed of Hadar has been forced to cocoon itself
in a sort of protective defensive layer.
However, doing so has opened up some suspicious-looking wounds,
four of them specifically.
Hit the weak spots for massive damage.
No, what?
I don't know what you're talking about!
My monitor just slid to the side there.
There you go.
Oh, I turned it off.
Now it's broken.
But yeah, so you see this and you do see,
I don't have anything to really represent him with.
Please stop breaking things.
Little glob.
Just a little blob.
It looks like a puffer fish when it's puffed.
Yeah, it does.
Well, Easter's coming up. He's a little egg.
Can you put that one next to you, Lucius, next to that little rocky protrusion?
Front, back, sides.
Behind, yeah, behind, please.
Can you turn it on?
Nope, other way. When I say behind, I meant behind from me.
There we go.
Oh, it has lights?
It does have lights. I didn't turn the other one on.
Hell yeah.
Well, I only had two of these ones.
I didn't want the other two to feel left out.
Yeah, but these ones are
extra double damage. Look at that.
Maybe.
It's blinding.
Yeah, you watch and sentry, this happens on your turn.
So you watch as a reaction, instinctively,
the creature pulls itself away and then reappears
as this kind of egg-like cocoon at the back of Telekis.
And you watch as these four sort of... It's like the gap itself almost separates,
and you see this red, sinuous-y magic exposed.
I forgot to mention some stuff on Spirit Shroud.
Oh, yeah.
So any creature that takes this damage
can't regain hit points until the start of my next turn.
Any creature of my choice that I can see starts its turn within... Any creature... damage can't regain hit points until the start of my next turn.
Any creature of my choice that I can see starts its turn within...
Any creature... I can't read this stuff sometimes.
Any creature of your choice that you can see that starts its turn within 10 feet
if you have its speed reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.
Okay. Yeah. So the regain hit points, this is not regaining hit points.
This is like another effect.
It is basically activating a second health bar, effectively.
But the difficult terrain, yep, worth keeping in note.
Not probably something to worry about in this fight.
Sorry, the seeds doesn't tend to move too much,
and if it does, it teleports anyway.
Nice.
But good thing to know for future encounters, perhaps.
But yeah, Century, it is still technically your go,
but I think you were basically out of movement and everything,
and then this thing just vanishes away from you.
Yeah, I've done everything, so I'm good where I am for now.
All right.
We then go to Lucius.
Yeah, if I remember after A, right?
Yeah, Lucius.
Lucius, weird.
Does it seem like this thing is, like, volcanic,
as in, like, stuff spurting out of it?
That's dangerous. These infections?
Yes, the wounds.
Yeah, I'd say we can refer to them as, I've named them, they are entropic infections.
Ew. Entropic infections.
I don't want to call it that. Okay, fair.
You don't have to.
I mean, you could make an arcana check to see if you can figure out if they're like sort of dangerous or something.
Gonna be a nat 20.
Oh God.
I mean, so far he's been dead on calling his rolls, so.
14.
14, it's hard to tell.
Like this is a type of magic you've rarely seen before.
They look just, yeah, like a scab or a wound
that's been opened up,
but it's clearly filled
with adar magic um i'm not really sure what will happen all right sick i'm going to chromatic orb
actually no i'm gonna do a cantrip just to suss it out okay uh the one next to you or
the one next to me okay so i lost my sheet pin uh well what shall i do a little fire
fire bolt okay 120 feet okay 60 feet up 60 feet down all right still have to make an attack roll
these things kind of like uh like the seed itself they are armored they seem to have control over sort of like the carapace around it. That is a 31.
31 will hit.
Damn right.
4d10.
All right, so we're gonna call the wound,
the entropic infection near Lucius is gonna be A.
The one on the other lit up one
on the far audience's side left.
Right.
Right, sure.
It's going to be B.
The one nearest to Nova currently is going to be C.
And then the other one on the opposite side will be D.
Dick.
So this is A.
How much damage?
We talk.
We are talking a whopping...
Does have some resistance.
25.
25, so 12.
12 points of damage.
As the Firebolt strikes infection,
you can see it does burn it,
and it does seem to burn away at the magic within.
Maybe not as powerfully as you were expecting.
There is some resistance there.
Can you roll a d4 for me,
as I'm going to use its infection response reaction?
Cool.
Four.
Alrighty, so this thing pulses with entropic magic that seems to wrap around you, Lucius.
These black tendrils of lightning.
Until the start of a new combat round, then...
Until the start of your next turn, sorry, any creatures within 30
feet of the wound that would regain hit points regain only half the amount of hit points
instead, and it gains temporary hit points equal to the amount.
So you're basically connected to this thing by this black tendril of magic, this insubstantial
kind of far-realm magic.
So it gains temp HP based on the-
So if you are healed,
you only gain half that amount of healing.
And the rest goes to the temp.
And it gains the other half, yeah, exactly.
It gains it in temporary hit points.
Um, and that's until the start of your next turn.
Anything else, Lucius, on your turn?
Would you like to move or anything else?
Um, I'm good, thank you. If not, we go to Nova. Um, I would like- You start your turn within would you like to move or anything else? I'm good, thank you.
If not, we go to Nova.
You start your turn within five feet of a wall,
I need you to make a dexterity saving throw, please.
20.
20, you are still gonna take damage, unfortunately.
That is gonna be 11 points of cold damage.
Okay.
I would like to Misty Step.
Yes.
I basically want to get away from seeing Lucius
kind of still get attacked by this thing.
Yeah, it didn't look like he was harmed by it,
but something happened.
He attacked it and it lashed out with this Pharrell magic.
So I'd like to Misty Step onto a Telekis's horn.
I want to make it so as I can't get hurt
by all these walls as well.
So five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
And then I've got 30 foot of movement as well.
You asked that, don't forget there is a wall
right here as well.
So can I-
So if you go like five, 10, 15 over here.
Yeah, I guess where I think I won't be between walls.
Yeah, yeah, you'll be safe here.
I'll just be right next to that seed when it explodes.
It's fine.
Yep.
Don't think I haven't noticed how you've made me drift towards the seed.
Would you like to go back?
I can't put you on the spine.
I can't be on the horn?
No.
Okay.
It's curved like that.
It's literally blocking terrain.
I'll just be there.
That's fine.
Just be there.
Okay.
And then I'm going to Eldritch Blast the Seed Sea, or Entropic Goo Sea.
The one that you just moved away from.
Mm-hmm.
Okey-dokey.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So normal attacks.
19 plus 11 is 30.
That is a hit.
That is 10 points of damage on the first hit.
This is not the same creature. It's not the same. Yeah damage on the first hit. This is forced.
This is not the same creature. It's not the same, yeah.
Not the same creature.
So that's forced damage though, right?
Yeah.
Okay, there is some resistance to that.
Okay.
23 to hit.
Is not a hit.
It kind of hardens its carapace-like armor, closes up,
and the Eldritch Blast bounces off.
Not going to hit.
All right.
It's just that first one kind of glances off.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You get four.
29 to hit.
That will hit.
Five, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13.
13.
So, yep, cut that down.
Yeah, the energy does hit.
It strikes, but again, it's somewhat resistant to this.
That's it for me, bye.
Okay, when you finish striking it,
I need you to roll a d4 for me,
as C will also use its entropic response reaction.
One.
A one.
Any creatures within 15 feet? Iropic Response Reaction. One. A one.
Any creatures within 15 feet?
I believe that is none.
Great.
So you watch as it kind of, red lightning kind of
out of it, but it does not strike anyone.
End of turn.
Nova Vija.
Before Keelakadgalas turn,
the wall of vents must continue.
The wall must continue.
Luckily, I think everyone is safe.
Have any of the walls dissipated yet?
No.
No, these are all still active.
Oh, shit.
Does it hit the blob or is it...?
The blobs do not seem to be affected by this.
They are built into a telekis's body.
They are unaffected by the primal magic.
I don't believe that affects anybody, does it?
No.
Anybody's within five?
No.
Nope.
All right.
In that case, Kelek and Kalar.
These are wounds.
Yes.
Can they be healed?
Would you like to make an arcana check?
Yeah.
Sure.
That is...
Oh, watch out.
I know everything about this.
15.
15?
Difficult to say.
You don't...
Healing them...
I'll put it...
It's either healing them would help
or it would be very bad.
Because this is entropic magic,
you're not sure if...
These aren't normal wounds.
These are almost like manifestations of Hadar's magic.
So healing like a telekis
on which these wounds are...
You could try it.
Let me try a little tickle are. You could try it. Why don't you try a little tickle heal?
I could, yeah.
I mean, sure.
I'll dip my toe in a little bit of healing.
Okay.
For once.
I'll just do a bonus action, healing word, first level.
Against which one?
Against Atelicus.
You want to heal a telekis himself
yes okay how much for uh 1d4 plus 6 give me a roll 10 10 hp all right you a telekis is such a
god get like enormous creature it's not even god gancho it's bigger than that telekis is
you know 500 feet tall.
You are on its back.
It is hard to tell if that healing had any effect,
but you do feel the healing magic go into a telekiss itself.
None of the wounds just do, like, a little bit of, like, a...
None that you can see.
But that doesn't necessarily mean it's not having an effect.
You just don't know if that was enough to have an effect. You're not sure. At this point, you just, with that 15, you just don't know if that was enough to have an effect you're not
sure at this point you just with that 15 you just don't really know but like 10 healing if they went
to any of these things would be more visible than oh i don't know um you wouldn't you have no way
of knowing unfortunately but you don't know uh all right i'll need a note of it i'll do a Sacred Flame against... let's go for the same one Nova went for, Charlotte.
Okay.
Behind the rock.
Sacred Flame. They have disadvantage on dexterous infos.
Nice.
They're not very good at him in the first place, but that's still going to be a 16.
That's a fail. Only 14 damage.
One, two, two, and three.
It's a C.
Yeah.
And it's radiant.
Radiant damage.
Full damage.
Radiant damage seems to be unresisted.
Yes.
As it burns away at the entropic magic.
Yeah.
You do see that that wound almost begins to flicker.
I need you to...
That was a C.
No, it's already used its reaction.
Oh, it's a reaction.
Okay.
Cool.
Each of these seems to have their own reaction.
We're learning.
Anything else?
That is all.
I like to stay here in between walls.
Okay.
After your turn, the Seed of Hadar,
it may be protected from you,
but it still gets its full turn.
Oh.
Oh, that sucks. Yeah, it does. It's you, but it still gets its full turn. Oh. Oh, that sucks.
Yeah, it does.
Okay.
It's terrible.
It also gets to use its mythic actions now,
which I've been completely forgetting about.
So at the end of Quill's turn,
I use one of its mythic actions to spawn more.
Oh.
Move or see?
Spawn a more.
Oh.
A more.
Okay.
M-A-W.
M-A-W. M-A-W.
It will spawn a ravenous maw anywhere on the battlefield
and then make a maw attack against Nova Vigia.
That is a 30 to hit.
Let me check.
Yes.
All right.
Can you take 15 points of piercing damage
and make a dexterity saving throw for me, please?
15?
Yep, 15 piercing.
11.
11.
You are grappled by this creature,
and whilst you are grappled, you are restrained,
as it literally bites you and puts you in the middle.
I have a ring of free action?
She can't be grappled.
You can't be grappled.
Nice.
You get grappled.
I'm too wriggly.
Like a bar of soap.
Yeah, like this thing tries to grab you
and your body almost seems to phase through the teeth
and just pulls yourself free, unable to grab you.
That's cool.
Nice, good move.
Great use, very rarely used magic item,
seeing some nice use.
That was at the end of Kul's turn.
Now the seed is gonna take its turn.
Lucius, Viren, Elowen, Elanaste.
Oh, he annoyed at you.
I need you to make a wisdom saving throw
as it attempts to reality break.
No!
Oh, shit.
Well, fuck.
Wait.
That's the one that he can't...
Do you have advantage? Is bacon still up?
Bacon is still up, isn't it?
Is it up?
It is, yeah.
You'll have advantage on wisdom saves.
Oh, good!
Holy shit!
31.
70, 80.
Yeah.
I don't know very wise.
Your mind is broken.
You share to the barriers between realities and timelines,
thrusting a creature into turmoil and madness.
So until the spell ends, you can't take any reactions.
At the start of your turn,
you roll a d10 to determine what happens to you.
It's all fun stuff.
Then it is just gonna have,
it's gonna manifest,, it's gonna manifest,
basically it's gonna control the telekinesis body
to lash out at Sentry and Ayla with tentacles.
So it just causes like a tentacle erupts
from the carapace itself and takes a slap.
Well that's not very nice.
Okay, you're gonna protect Ayla.
That is unfortunately gonna still be very high.
That's a 27 at the lowest to hit you, Ayla.
And that's a natural 20 against Sentry.
Oh, again?
No!
Yep, so I'll do that.
Let's do it.
Let's tango.
So Ayla, that's gonna be 18 bludgeoning, so half to nine.
So, three to eight.
Oh, luckily, very roll low on the actual numbers.
Nine plus eight.
Is Beacon still up? 38 bludgeoning damage.
Not bad.
Sentry. That was its first lashing tentacle attack.
Alrighty.
Where is Lucius and Corrin?
Where's their wagon?
Lucius has been rally braked. You're flying up in the air aren't you?
I'm 30 feet up.
So it's just going to do the same thing to Sentry and Aayla.
Aayla that's only a 16 to hit you.
That misses.
Sentry that is a 28.
Yeah, that hits.
This is going to be 18 points of bludgeoning damage to you.
Right.
So, and then these tentacles go back into the earth.
He doesn't as bad a crit
on the second one.
No, yeah.
I rolled really badly
on that one.
Good.
At this point,
the walls,
the energy walls,
all go.
Oh!
Oh, yay!
That's good news.
Yep.
Thank you.
Nice.
Tommy H, want to get inspiration?
No.
You do get a little gold star from your DM.
I'm going to flip the board.
I wanted inspiration.
Why don't you join in?
I want gold star.
You get half a gold star.
You didn't pick up as many.
Ayla.
Oh, hi.
Um, can I...
I have enough movement.
I want to go around the back of that rock and...
To see.
Um, to see.
Yep, to see.
And, uh, hit it.
Yeah, go for it.
I guess.
Sure.
Because I don't know.
Attempt a whack.
A whackening.
Uh, 16 plus 15.
That is going to be a hit.
Hit... Hit it. 16 plus 15. That is going to be a hit.
A hit.
15 on the hammer plus three lightning.
18 total.
This one's prime for an A20.
Can we try that?
I don't know.
I should have taken my points.
16 at one.
So I probably don't hit, so 16.
16 is not a hit. If it's an at one, it automatically misses. But hit, so 16. 16 is not a hit.
If it's an at one, it automatically misses.
But lightning, it fails.
Six.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
You watch as you bring the hammer down.
Although you miss on that second attack,
it kind of hardens its shell against the attack,
but then you channel your lightning through
the hammer into the wound and as that lightning hits it you watch as the entropic magic bursts
uh and an explosion of red it just and fades away however uh it does get to use its reaction
one last time when it's destroyed can you roll a d4 for me please okay i thought it was
going to be like a damaging quarter of a gold star four uh four same thing until the start of your
next turn you cannot regain hit points okay you regain half the amount of hit points but it does
not gain any time yeah it's not coming back so that's not too bad so that one's just done so any
healing to you though is halved until the start of your next turn. But that C is now gone.
The infected wound of C is gone.
Yeah.
We do not have any mind witnesses in play.
Sentry.
In fact, actually, sorry, at the end of Ayla's turn,
it is going to spawn a tentacle.
It's a mythic action.
It's going to spawn a tentacle,
and it is going to spawn it next to you, Sentry,
because it likes hitting you.
It's pretty tentacool.
Tentacool.
Let's hope it's not tentacool.
That's a 25 to hit.
That hits.
That's pretty cool.
That's 18 bludgeoning damage.
That's pretty cool, yeah.
Oh, God.
So the tentacle does as much as...
And the tentacle and the maw do not go away.
What are you on? They are creatures. They are things that... They're like the weak points, so you can attack do not go away. What are you on?
They are things that they're like the weak points
so you can attack them.
Yeah, no, I-
Are you down?
Not yet.
Not yet, all right.
Well, it's your turn.
Can I?
Now I will point out that both the Maw and the Tentacle,
they will provoke an opportunity attack.
If I Misty Step will that?
Nope, Misty Step avoids that entirely.
Oh, so if I Misty Step attacks, yeah. Cool. If I Misty Step, will that... Nope, Misty Step avoids that entirely. Oh, so if I Misty Step...
Bonus action.
Bonus action.
Okay, I'll Misty Step 30 feet towards Lucius.
Okay.
Sort of diagonally, so I guess I'll get next to Quill.
And then can I move the rest of it to Lucius?
Put it next to the
entropic infection.
Can I
try
Cleansing Touch on Lucius?
Will that end his...
I would say that will end the effect on Lucius.
Although it's not a spell, I would say that this is
kind of like a spell-like feature.
If you cleanse it, that tendril of
Pharrell magic snaps and breaks away.
And I would like to do that.
All right.
Perfect.
Thank you.
And then does my...
Does that mean that my Spirit Shroud goes?
It's concentration.
Yeah, if it's concentration.
Well, is Cleansing Touch...
Cleansing Touch is an action.
Yeah, it's not...
So I still up?
Yeah, still up.
Awesome.
Okay, cool.
Then, yeah, that's my turn.
That's your whole turn. Yep. Shit. At the end of your turn, it's going to So I stay still up? Yeah, still up. Awesome. Okay, cool.
Then, yeah, that's my turn.
That's your whole turn.
Yep.
Shit.
At the end of your turn, it's going to spawn a tentacle next to you and Lucius.
No!
Yeah, you did just get rid of-
That's a real hater.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then that means it gets to make an attack against you and Lucius.
No.
You've already used- oh, you've just had your turn.
You've just had your turn, so you do have your reaction.
That's very lucky. That is going to be a 14 to hit Lucius.
Two plus its bonus.
No.
All right, so it does miss you.
Thanks to Sentry's protection, it does just barely miss you.
Against Sentry is only a 19.
It misses.
Oh!
You kind of... The shield, you kind of step in front of Lucius
with the shield of Solvang just clanging against it,
protecting you from both all right
lucius your turn hmm i cast arm of agathys on myself okay at level two million definitely
if you can what level you're casting it out fifth okay oh bear you break i mean i this is
literally the effect that you yourself brought on yourself.
Oh.
Yeah, you're gonna take damage from doing this,
so there's no point in doing it.
Yeah, from the wish.
From wish?
So when you cast that at level two million,
you just killed yourself?
Yeah, you basically just-
27 necrotic damage.
You've undone the point of doing it.
Yeah, he's killed himself.
Have you actually just killed yourself?
Oh my god, he has!
What happens first?
The armor of Agathys or the-
The armor of Agathys would go off first, yeah.
So you would get the 10 temporary hit points.
Oh no, it would be more than that.
25.
All right, so then you would immediately lose 27.
Why are you still casting?
He says he's cast.
He is a sorcerer.
I know, but- He's a special boy. He is a sorcerer. I know, but...
He's a special boy.
He's got cat tricks.
I'll tell you why.
Because he forgets about the consequence of wish.
That's why he's doing it.
Do I have to now, do I?
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
So you try and summon this energy
and as you try and surround yourself with ice...
My turn is to lose 2 HP.
Yes!
Because as you try and channel this magic
to try and protect yourself
but that
whatever that wish did
whatever that magic
that was stripped away from you
kind of like
you feel like this pain
wrecked through your body
and it drains away
Lucius is hurt
by confusion
yeah
Lucius is confused
he hurt himself
yeah you were probably
panicked by the appearance
of the tentacles
so you were just like
defensive move
oh shit
anything else
I'll save a century pretty much appearance of the tentacles so you're just like defensive move oh shit anything else
bonus action i'm gonna do some sorcery point you go ahead
uh this thing to cast more spells to kill you yeah yeah
wait wait oh it's an action. Fuck.
Never mind. Okay. I'll do it next turn.
Alright. Nova VJ.
Bonus action Misty Step. Okay.
Away from this. More. What would you like to get?
More. Can I just go the other side
of the seed? So just literally
horizontal. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
And then
walk the rest of the 30.
Keep going, yeah.
No, no, no, not the diagonal, just next to it. Yeah, there you go.
And I'm going to start Blasting that thing.
Okay.
Um...yep.
This one's a 10.
That's not going to hit. It's a 19.
19 does not hit. Blast off its Armored Characters.
That's worse.
Cool.
So four on the second one.
Do you want to use a different dice pack?
20.
20 is not enough.
Again, these blasts just bouncing off the armoured form of Vitellicus,
using it as cover to protect itself.
25.
25 just barely hits. Eight little tickly points. And that is protect itself. 25. 25 just barely hits.
Eight little tickly points.
And that is to Dee.
Dee.
Eight little points of force damage.
It is resistant to force.
It really just scratches the entropic energy in.
Eight points is better than none.
Anything else on your turn, Novevija?
That serves me.
Killakad Kalah.
What was I doing?
Healing, basically.
Yeah, I think I'm going to do a heal.
But this time, a mass heal.
So get those calculators out.
Oh my god.
We got 700 healing to dish out.
What?
Yeah, it's 9th level mass heal.
Oh wait, were you not there for my mass heal?
No!
Oh my god.
I'm so excited! This is a thing he can do.
This is a thing he can do.
I've done it once before.
This is why I don't worry about you guys taking loads of damage anymore,
because I'm like, at some point,
Quill will just be like,
driving 100 in points!
I basically have my let's reset everything move.
Yeah, it's the reset the game move.
It's a storm chaser phase two.
Yeah, basically, yes.
Yes, this is basically your phase two.
Whereas, while you only have to fight one monster with two HP bars.
I have to fight five monsters with two HP bars.
We're not monsters.
Oh, you're monsters.
How dare you?
Clearly monsters.
Right, so the easiest way to do this is
I don't think everyone's max HP actually equals 700.
Yeah, no.
I'm pretty sure you can heal everyone to max.
I need to figure
out how much I have left though I'm gonna pump into a telekis yeah I mean
yeah that's true so what if we minus and tell you what we need to get me so you
just get 700 so I need 127 minus 1 2 7 5 7 3 left Minus 98. 475 left.
Century, you have...
196.
Ooh.
198.
Are you kidding?
No.
I don't think I have enough to heal myself.
Well, heal yourself.
Oh, that's a shame.
Oh, you must do.
Yeah, you will.
Oh no, 91 left.
I've got to do 75 to heal myself.
That's 75. So that's 684. I've got to do 75 to heal myself. That's 75.
So that's 684.
I've got 16 left.
Yeah, I've actually got 16 left.
So 700 is not far off, maxing everyone out in a bad way.
Yeah, it's only Ayla, because like,
if you wanted to max Ayla, it costs a bit more.
So you want to put that extra 16 into a Telekiss?
Yeah. All right. it costs a bit more but so you want to put that extra sex 16 into a telekis yeah all right you watch just the maybe maybe just the slightest flicker on the
remaining wounds I did it flicker in the same way that seeded when it you should
put 700 into no no it's as he feels a telekis like just the bit and only quill
picks up on this just the faintest flicker. You would need more healing than that.
You're going to say no to this, but I'm going to have to ask.
Beacon of Hope, everyone receives max healing.
You are not rolling.
Beacon of Hope maximises the dice roll.
Oh, yeah, if it's like a set number.
If it's a set number.
Can you imagine?
That would be pretty funny.
Holy shit.
It's why heal and mass heal,
like Beacon of Hope,
only goes as effective as...
It doesn't actually say dice roll.
Regains the maximum number of hit points possible
from any healing.
Yeah, so you have 700 to spend.
You cannot maximize it further.
Can you imagine, though?
I mean, if you can,
that would be incredibly broken.
Imagine what my healing graph would look like. That's why it doesn't work that way. This mean, if you can, that would be incredibly broken. Imagine what my healing grog would look like.
That's why it doesn't work that way.
This episode, Quill healed, what, like 4,500 in one turn?
There's a reason it doesn't work that way.
But yeah, everybody, max hit points.
Nice.
Tasty.
That was my ninth level.
I was holding on to that.
Thank you.
Wait a minute.
I might use my reaction.
Oh!
No, Mark!
I've written down how much HP you are.
I will say.
No, you have actually got more HP.
No.
Hang on, before you do that, let me just see.
I can do it.
He hasn't used his reaction yet.
Let me just see if I've got my portents.
Do you have your portents?
I don't actually remember what my Portents were.
Oh, that's a shame.
I used a 20 on Aayla.
I had an eight Spare.
Did I use that eight?
Yes, you did because you made me fail a slow spell
on my Legendary Resistance, dear.
Yeah, you did. I don't have Portent then.
Wow. Before anybody adds their hit points.
I just did.
Well, it's all right.
We can tell them what they are. I might fail this.
I mean, Trot said for cancelling his Chromatic Orb,
he'd hit you with his car.
Okay. If you cancel my level nine mass heal.
What?
No, I will. I don't have a vehicle.
It's telling me to do it.
Yeah.
I know. I'm game for it.
I'm just saying I will come after you. So it's a ninth do it. Yeah. I know. I'm game for it. I'm just saying I will come after you.
So it's a ninth level spell.
Yeah.
Which means I would have to be DC 19 to consume it.
Even against my spell save?
It's not about your spell save.
It's the level of the spell.
Works like counter spell.
This guy has a plus nine to the roll.
So it's the roll of 10.
Oh my God.
Would you like to know what I rolled?
A three.
I rolled a seven.
It tries.
You watch as the egg,
like a mouth opens on the egg briefly.
Tries to draw in that energy,
but you, Quill,
there's almost a moment where
a conjured wind almost blows the spell
back around into your allies,
deflecting it away from the drawing in entropic power
of Hadar as you all gain that healing as you desire.
We don't need to kill him now.
You fucking tried, though.
Oh, God.
That would've been deliciously dramatic.
Yum, yum, yum.
I would've walked out of this room, I think.
If I was just like, no.
You can't play your game with no players.
That's very true.
I would sit here with the audience and be like,
well, let me tell you how the campaign came about.
Everyone's dead.
I win.
By I, I mean Mark Hughes, not Hadar.
Mark Hughes wins.
Finally, after five years.
How D&D works is I'm trying to win, right?
But no.
So you watch as the healing magic restores all of you to energy,
to maximum energy.
Watch that mini-seco.
I just see her.
Yeah, I drive a mini, so if it hits you,
I'm taking that damage.
I'm done.
I could punch it.
If anyone's going to use their car, it would probably be Trotswold.
Anything else on your turn?
Oh, yeah. Bonus action? No. No.
No.
That was a pretty good turn.
Yeah, I mean, I'm happy.
We had Lucius' turn go before he did something didn't we you
yeah you just agatha himself you're under the effects of reality break though i wasn't you
cancelled it you cancelled it that's right and it just ends the spell effect on them doesn't it
i thought you were doing that on the tethering thing but no you did that on the reality bro
tethering thing also ends at the end of my turn yeah yeah i did yeah so that would have gone
anyway you take a good shot i take half feeling yeah with lucius i know that ended uh before course 10. so yeah i take
half healing yeah so just uh deal yourself damage myself like 100. uh no it should be you said you
had 88 yeah do 99 points of damage to yourself but what if i've got bacon of hope half any healing doesn't fix everything
that's disappointing maximum healing you got underwords you still got 99 hp my soul big big
you've probably got more hp now than anyone else you've got 187. yeah you've got more than me
you still have more hp than everyone else i like the 200 i know you do i know you do, but I'm still just pointing it out.
Right, anyway, after Quill's done,
the Seed of Hadar is going to go.
And the Seed is very unhappy, especially with Quill.
Seed's a little bitch.
So he's gonna do two Entropic Lasers.
Lasers?
Yeah, from the cocoon,
it's gonna fire out two beams of force.
First one, 30 to hit.
Yeah, that does it.
That'll be 18 points of force damage.
I thought it was squidgy. It's not squidgy.
Does it have a light in it? It looks like it should have a light.
It does not.
18, yeah, taken.
18 force damage, and then the next one is a 28 to hit.
Yep.
Can you actually do your concentration before we do the next one?
Oh, for bacon?
Yep, the DC 10.
Not that Maz doesn't work on heal.
Doesn't work.
Eight.
That's gone.
Oh, that's gone.
It's important because it affects wisdom saving throws.
Oh, yeah.
The next one is a 28 to hit.
If that hits, that's another 18 points of force damage.
Yeah, got it.
And you're flying up in the air, so it doesn't really affect you.
You've saved against reality break.
You've saved against reality break.
Sentry saved against reality break.'ve saved against reality break century saved
against reality break no you've now gotten out of it i've just saved against it yeah nervous oh yeah
no we're safe you've all saved against it so you've all saved against it so it can't do that
too right at the beginning of this game um i saved against it yeah yeah charisma safe yeah i got like
plus 11 yeah plus 11 yeah yeah you can't do it against any of us now yep can't do it against
any of you so all it can do now is at the end of its turn, any tentacles or maws still in play can make attacks.
It is only Lucius and Sentry that are viable targets.
Oh, they've been here.
I was like, oh shit.
20 to hit your Lucius and 27 to hit Sentry.
Yeah. 18 bludgeoning damage each.
Cool. I'll do a concentration for you.
That was nice.
What? 19. My nature's quite... 19ration Force. Oh, that was nice. 19.
19, you're okay. You're fine.
I thought that was a dice.
No, that was my neck.
11 would still succeed, yeah, because the DC is 10.
Nice.
The seed gets all of those reactions back.
Oh my god.
Lair action.
Are you alright?
My neck just clicked really weirdly
and I think I'm dying.
Are you actually alright?
I'm okay.
Her head is upside down.
Turned around like an owl.
So, it's a lair action.
Oh no.
You hear the voice of the seed of Hadar
from within its cocoon.
Just like,
if you will not die under the ocean,
Telekis, jump.
And Telekis leaps hundreds of feet into the air.
I need all of you to make strength saving throws
as the force of air, as he jumps up,
the force of air is pressing you down.
Strength saving throws. Have you seen Jet Fighters, the force of air is pressing you down. Strength, Amethyst.
Have you seen jet fighters do the G-Force test?
Yeah.
We're all passing.
All our faces just sink.
Except yours.
Senshi's just buckles and moves.
30.
You are fine. Well, you are, basically your movement is halved,
but you are not restrained.
Was it dex?
Strength.
Yeah.
I got an actual 20.
Failure.
17.
Failure.
19 plus 8.
Century succeeds.
9.
Failed.
Everybody but Century and Ayla,
you are restrained.
Your speed becomes zero.
You have the restrained condition
as you're basically pinned down by this force of air.
As Italicus leaps up, you are being pressed down
by the opposing wind resistance.
Ayla and Sentry, you can move,
but you're at half speed for this.
As he reaches the apex, this is the next layer action.
We'll hit the apex and then we'll begin to drop.
I don't like this.
What? Me?
It's your turn.
Oh, did not compute.
Remember the half movement.
Oh, shit, yeah.
I can't make it.
I will...
I also say as well, in terms of the ridges,
basically everything,
if there's not like the rock-like structures
represent like rough patches of the armored carapace,
everywhere else is fairly smooth.
So can I half move up to that rock?
Well, you are obviously no longer flying as well.
Up to the rock by Lucien.
Five, 10, 15.
What's your half movement? It's like 20, right? 20. It's 45 movements. So half to 20. by Lucien. Five, ten, fifteen. What's your half movement? It's like 20.
It's 45 movement.
So, half to 20. Yeah, 22.
I can...
So, you're kind of like...
Actually, Trot, can you move Ayla next to the wound?
I will dash.
And that will be my turn.
Okay.
Oh, can I bonus action zap it with my aura?
You have to make an attack for that to go off.
Let me check.
Also, do I take falling damage from him jumping into me?
Yes, you technically would.
Thank you, Tom.
Interesting.
Sorry.
That'll be eight points of bludgeoning damage.
How many stars is that?
Half. Half of that. I'd hold tight and jump into you. That'll be eight points of bludgeoning damage. How many stars is that? Uh, half.
Half of that.
I'd hold tight and jump into you.
It's just the rules, mate.
You're just reminding me of the rules.
That's just physics.
It says when activated, the creature...
All right, in that case.
It's a bonus action.
It just says it's a bonus action.
Nice.
The star system is fucked.
You've got Bael, stack seven, three.
So is the education system, mate.
So is politics. 14 lightning damage. 14 points of lightning damage. Don't bring your glasses system, mate. So is politics. 14 lightning damage.
14 points of lightning damage.
The lightning definitely blasting into the wound
significantly damages it.
Anything else on your turn, Ayla?
No, that's it.
All right.
At the end of your turn...
Kool's on his own. he's now on the ground.
Oh no.
He's waiting for action to spawn more.
More, more?
Get moored.
Those minis are kind of fun.
14.
Oh, sorry, Mei.
Chomp.
Although you're restrained, it has advantage.
29.
No!
Fuck you, Mei!
15 points of piercing damage.
See that mini. 29. No! Fuck you, mate! 15 points of piercing damage.
And can you make a dexterity save with disadvantage, please?
Sorry, 15 damage.
15 piercing, dex save with disadvantage.
Whoop.
Nat 20.
Boop.
17.
So, unnatural 20.
Still not enough, unfortunately.
As is DC 22.
It snaps the jaw.
You are... Wait, I get plus 3? You get plus 3, you're my aura. 22. It snaps the jaw. You are-
Oh wait, I get plus three.
You get plus three, you're my aura.
23.
You beat the DC.
Oh!
Even though you're like being pressed down
by the force of wind, you like roll just in time.
Roll!
Sentry's magic may be glancing, protecting you briefly
with a shield as this thing tries to grab you
and you avoid doing it.
I always forget your aura's bigger now.
It's 30 feet.
All right.
Size of that aura.
Sentui. Oh, I didn't get a turn why did
you not get a turn i don't know you went at the top of the round yeah yeah you did you moved
a lot has happened and you did some eldritch blasts nothing happened yeah okay century i was
gonna say i don't think lucius had stuff like he agatha yeah lucius that was at the end of the last
turn then you went then You went immediately after.
You broke my neck. I'm sorry.
It's literally happening.
I don't think...
Yeah, I think that neck thing is like...
You broke my brain.
Are you okay?
Just dizzy.
It's fine.
I'm just going to sit here.
Sent we.
I'm going to do two attacks.
I'm going to do one against the tentacle and one against the...
Can you just hit me?
No.
Kill him.
I'm not going to hit you.
Tentacle?
Tentacle first. Okay. Seven plus 13 for 20. that hits actually nice and i've still got my spirit shroud active so okay just keep rocking uh is that every turn it just adds
concentration so it's just up nice very good for a bonus action yep so it's a high level
broken paladin it's like a fourth level third level spell so uh clerics get it so it's a bit it's a high level broken paladin it's like a fourth level third level spell so
uh clerics get it so it doesn't get the bonus from aberrations does it uh this one does yeah yeah it's still still an aberration yeah if you're putting another big spike into it yeah oh and
i'm a large nugget large um 612 ac it's like she's just a sprinkling of salt on the mute.
It's like, yeah.
Like salt.
Di-bay.
Yeah, di-bay.
23.
Di-bay.
The way that she did it was just like...
You can add it if you want.
I'm gonna keep going.
Okay.
Sometimes it's good to know.
Can you pass me the flame?
Oh yeah, yeah.
Turn it off. were you striking the flame
or the tentacle 51 oh this is the tentacle actually yeah that's fine for that one rey were
you striking that was tentacles yeah get rid of that thing pass that up here yeah thank you 70
long dead 81 81 points
starbreaker slams into it and just rips this thing off of the back of a telekis, even though you are currently flying.
And it just goes flying. This tentacle just goes flying off into the thing.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
I guess I can still use it again.
I mean, it's Spirit Shroud, I believe so. It's a different target.
You never came back to one of the darks.
I know.
Fucking crazy.
Okay.
You've got to hit first and forget.
Yep.
Oh, that's well gone.
Hitting is my weakness.
Oh, she's gone.
This is Century's weakness.
It's actually hitting the thing.
20 again.
20 against this is not enough.
This is against the thing.
The weaknesses, the weak points have a higher AC.
So Starbreaker kind of scrapes long as salt.
Damn.
Anything else?
Only 81 damage this turn.
Yeah.
No, I think I'm good for now.
Hey, I mean, to be honest,
like Nova did like 70 something points of damage
because she just does it on multiple attacks.
When you crit, it's like 100 points.
Yeah, I mean, you're first.
I'm joking.
It's funny.
It's just like. It's hilarious. Double Eldritch Crit, which is tasty. Certain builds are crazy. Oh, it's like 100 points. Yeah, I mean, you're first. I'm joking. It's funny. I know, well, it's just like...
It's hilarious.
Yeah, like, certain builds are crazy.
Oh, it's so funny.
My hits are like 50-50 every time.
It's like I'll hit with one and miss with the other.
Lucius.
Lucius is going to...
Punch himself in the face?
Probably.
I'm tempted to cast a spell.
Hold your fist above your face and then he jumps.
Yeah, cast a spell. That's a above your face and then he jumps. Yeah, cast a spell.
That's a big one.
Seventh level? Eighth level?
I'm going to... If I do it quicker than Wish...
If you quicken it, it doesn't matter.
You still think it's faster.
Don't cast a spell.
It just means you use a bone section.
Get off that spell there.
Faster than Wish.
Trot, don't you listen to them.
You do what Lucius would do.
What would Lucius, level nine.
Just jump off the side of Italicus now.
You know what I mean?
I will point out, if you just chose to,
you could just be like, bye, woo!
Don't think about that!
What I'm gonna do is use my last six sorcery points,
which I've been building, and I'm gonna use is use my last six sorcery points, which I've been building,
and I'm gonna use Prismatic Mastery.
So I transform my eyes, Prismatic Mastery.
I'm then going to cast Firebolt,
and then use Chromatic Control to change it to Radiant.
Okay.
Oh, that cute.
That's cute. That's nice.
If he just casts a spell,
does he get resistance to himself because of my threat?
No, it specifically says in the wish thing that it cannot be prevented or reduced in
any way.
Ah, okay.
So the resistance will, no amount of resistance will save him from that damage.
What about Beacon of Hope?
You can shut up.
Okay.
Ah, five off.
I won't.
You can't side with me.
A little red. Yeah, that is. Okay. Five balls. I won't. You can't sign it to me. Little red me.
Yeah, that hits.
You're giving away a lot of details about my car.
26 hits.
Red car, done.
Start reading out the registration plate.
This should be 40, 10 radiant.
40, 10 radiant, love it.
32.
I got two nines and eight and a six.
Pass me the wound as wound A is also destroyed. However, I need you to roll a d4 for the cast.
As it dies, it lets off one last reaction.
Oh.
Half healing.
Three.
Four.
Four.
Until the start of a new combat round,
any creature within 30 feet, that is Aayla, Stency, Lucius,
and I believe Quill might be in range as well,
regains only half hit points.
Fine, don't need to heal anymore.
We go to the top if you are done, Lucius.
Did you realize we were about to plummet out of the sky?
Nova.
So with the Ring of Free Action,
that means I don't get restrained.
Am I restrained?
Yeah, I think that this one
is not like a creature grabbing you.
The Ring of Free Action, its magic, I think, is limited.
It cannot...
There's no way I can see that its magic would allow you to be like...
Yeah, it's the physics here, right?
Yeah, I can just walk around.
Why don't you just put me in a little bubble?
I mean, I guess technically, like, it would...
Yeah, the Ring's effects do apply.
You are not restrained by this movement.
The wind resistance is just not holding you in place. You are not restrained by this movement the the wind resistance is just
not holding you in place um you are not like stuck to this thing you're just unaffected by it
just like john travolta like right you're just walking around walking over the as it's flying
through the air where's everyone lying down yeah uh in which case i will john travolta my way over to D.
I'm gonna summon Echo. Okay, manifest.
That's an eight, so.
Shansara, so now everyone,
well, pretty much Quill at this point,
maybe Lucius and some of the others,
you do see a shadowy Echo-like form of Shansara Abir.
I'm gonna...
There are two wounds.
There are currently two wounds remaining.
Yep.
B and D.
Gonna start attacking. Two wounds inside.
All right.
That is a 26 to hit.
Hits.
So eight, nine, 10, 11, plus 7 is 18.
18.
I'm going to Unleash Incarnate on that one as well.
So that is Shansara's.
Well, you need to hit first, remember?
It's basically you make another attack.
That's not going to hit.
Okay, doesn't hit.
Well, it's a 16.
16 does not hit.
Okay.
So you can make your other two normal attacks.
16 plus 13 is 29?
Hits.
Is Unleash Incarnate not on the next hit?
No.
Unleash Incarnate is basically she makes another attack.
She gets another attack after she's made the attack.
Shit.
16 points of Dimagios.
16 points of Dimagios.
Second strike slams in.
Sorry, I'm just triple checking.
Unleashing.
No, fuck it.
I promise you it's basically you make another attack.
That is a 19 to hit.
It is not enough.
I think.
That is all of your attacks, I believe.
It says when you take the attack action,
you make one additional melee attack from the Echo's position.
Yep.
Yep.
Should I do another one?
No, I'll save my last one, Unleash.
Yeah, well, you've already taken the attack.
You can't do two Unleashes in one turn.
This is true.
Yep.
So that is it.
You have heavily weakened that wound.
I need you to roll a d4 for me please.
Does weakening a wound make the wound less woundy?
No.
Say that faster.
One.
No.
Any creature within 15 feet takes psychic damage equal to half the damage taken.
This would be on the first attack you did, which was 18 so you take nine psychic damage um would that mean that echo takes
the damage as well no uh it's directly to you you're the one who attacked it and hit it with
the first attack and then this reaction is spent uh so yeah as you strike it the first time it kind
of feeds psychically feedbacks into you uh as you take that damage uh all right anything else on your turn that me that that you kilo can't
claw hello hi hi there uh how's it going good cool um you're gonna bring the pain
nah i'm gonna do a cantrip which is the pain uh i'm gonna do a uh sacred flame on um this boy uh
I'm going to blame on this boy. B.
B.
Barry.
Bernard.
That's an advantage.
That is a failure.
Good.
That is 48 plus six damage.
30.
30 points of radiant damage,
heavily disrupting the Entropic magic.
Still remaining, but badly damaged.
Anything else on your turn, Keeva?
Still remaining, but badly damaged.
Anything else on your turn, Keeva? Shit.
This Maw, does that also get Attack of Opportunity?
It does.
I'm restrained anyway.
You are.
So I'll just stay pinned against the thing.
One hand just over there.
Done.
And I wait for the Apex,
because I'm going to jump at the Apex.
I want to get more height.
You're restrained.
I'm going to look so cool.
We'll find out.
It goes to the seed of Hadar's turn. I'm gonna jump at the apex. I wanna get more height. You're a restraint. I'm gonna look so cool. We'll find out.
It goes to the seat of Hadar's turn. It is gonna teleport itself next to Quill.
Oh.
And then cause the maw that it has spawned
to become its entropic maw.
Oh.
What does that mean?
20 to hit.
Oh, you're ained, I have advantage.
29 to hit.
Okay.
Yep.
So before I do anything else,
can you make a charisma saving throw for me, please?
This is the one that sends you away.
Oh, I see.
Charisma save, plus seven.
Oh.
Plus three for me.
Oh.
26 is a success.
Yeah!
What's 23?
23 would have also been a success.
Oh, well, thanks for the plus three anyway.
The change in your...
31 points of necrotic damage.
The change in your... 31 points of necrotic damage.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's me roleplaying Quill.
34 points of force damage.
Wow. That was a really big hit.
And that was with success.
Yep. And then it is going to strike Lucius and Sentry with...
It's going to sprout a tentacle next to you. Just try and make an attack against you both.
Can I protect Lucius? You can.
My lowest there is gonna be a 17.
Hit, beats.
All right, so it still takes the hit,
but it misses Sentry, as it always does.
18 bludgeoning damage to Lucius.
No, it's been really hitting.
You've been getting nat 20s against Sentry.
And then that is the end of the Seed of Glass turn. It goes to the lair action.
And now a Telekis hits the apex.
It plummets down.
I jump.
As, not that you would have noticed,
like, there's no, none of you are secure enough.
I would say any of you who are close to a rocky protrusion
may make a dexterity saving throw to try and grab on.
How close?
I would say Lucius, you are too far away.
Century, Ayla, I will allow Nova,
she's within five feet of the wound.
So Quill and Lucius, you are gonna be
taking the full brunt of this.
Good thing I'm an Arak.
Can I grab Lucius and hold?
I would give you, you can try and do that.
You will have disadvantage and a higher DC
to try and save both of you.
You can either try and save yourself and it'll be easier
or you can try and save you and Lucius,
but you'll be at disadvantage and it will be a higher DC
because you're trying to grab and grab him.
So this is basically as it falls.
Obviously this thing is going to,
eventually will hit terminal velocity is the same as you,
but initially it's going to fall faster than you
because it's heavier.
So it's like basically you're like at the apex and it's going to drop
and then you're going to come flying down.
I'll take that.
Terminal velocity fall faster than us?
As in like because you're on top of this thing's back, right?
Right.
It's going to hit the apex.
I mean, I can fly.
It's going to fall and then you're going to follow after it.
Can I not slow my descent?
Uh, yeah, I think you can.
Because there's this weird thing with flying
in the D&D rules, where if you have hover,
then you can basically stop yourself in a flight.
But with this, I would say,
you're also being restrained right now by this thing.
By the Maw?
So would he even take off?
Yeah, I guess he wouldn't, no.
He's feededly slave against the Maw.
No, that was the Entropi-Mortar.
Teleport your way, you're still restrained.
It's an action you need to break out.
It was gonna do something else to you.
I thought it was restraining.
So it's holding you down safely?
Yeah.
Oh, in that case.
Until it lands and then it'll crush your organs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yay!
Would Levitate do anything?
You don't have time yet, unless you can cast it.
Unless you can cast it as a reaction,
this is happening out of your turn.
If you'd cast Levitate on your turn,
absolutely, you could have just been like,
Levitate, whoop, and fight it out.
I wish I were a birdie.
Too bad you already used your wing.
All right, so Dexterity saving throws.
24.
24 is a success.
Natural one.
Natural one.
You are taking a lot of fall damage.
Sick rolls there, Reeve.
Unfortunately, both you and Lucius. So Lucius, Nova, and Sentry, you're basically going to take falling damage, as this thing does kind of fall away and you're going to eventually slam onto its back.
I need to do this on D&D Beyond.
Alright.
I don't know if I can announce this now or if it's allowed, but can I take Tomb of Lovistus?
The way it works is when you take damage, right?
When I take damage and then it takes the damage.
Yeah, so we'll find out what the damage is
and then we'll go from there.
You cast that on other people, right?
Yes.
Cool.
I'd like it.
This is about a 200 foot fall, by the way.
Whoa. 76 points of bl, by the way. Whoa.
76 points of bludgeoning damage.
Okay, I'll take it while my spiritual realm is gone.
As you come slamming into the ground.
Ayla, you managed to like dig your hands around this thing
and like, you're kind of like,
cool, you're being held by this maw itself.
So you don't take that damage,
you're kind of like dragged down.
Do we take any damage?
Take any, yeah, yeah. Because this is them damage, you're dragged down. Do we take any damage? I'll take any.
Because this is them.
Basically, you're holding on.
They fly up and then slam back down into it as it separates from them briefly.
I'm glad I didn't take that damage.
I would have tried to grab Lucius, but I'm too far.
So you would start to take the 76 Nova.
You would activate Tomb of Lovistus.
Tomb of Lovistus gives you a certain amount of temporary hit points.
So 26 points of damage. You would take 26 points of damage, and then you're out of the Tomb of Lovistus. Tomb of Lovistus gives you a certain amount of temporary hit points.
So 26 points of damage. You would take 26 points of damage,
and then you're out of the Tomb of Lovistus.
It basically breaks it straight away.
Yep.
All right.
Cool.
Are you still conscious?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
I'm basically at full HP.
Oh, right, yeah, that's true.
Yeah, you guys were all at full HP.
All right, we then go to... You hear, like, the water kind's true. Yeah, you guys were all at full HP. All right, we then go to...
You hear, like, the water kind of surges up around you
as, like, Italicus lands back in the ocean,
and you can now see Cassotaurus next to you,
and you see quite clearly the platform with Valor
and the Halls of Infinite Resplendence.
Maybe, like, two, three rounds.
Oh boy.
You begin to see Valor like projecting,
like moving her hands, almost creating like a barrier,
like trying to create like a giant force shield
of these purple kind of spheres of metal,
these purple planes of triangle magic,
try and protect the entrance to it.
Kind of very Doctor Strange,
like she's kind of holding it there.
Maximilian has like drawn his sword, like he's gonna do whatever he can um but yeah uh ayla oh so we can
now move you can move normal yep um i can't echo have taken damage as well they do have a saving
throw yeah let me make them make a dexterity saving throw
because it's B based on your saving throw.
Uh, 12.
So I can't make it to this wound.
So I'm gonna go to the maw that has quill.
Okay, yeah, you can try and break him out.
And attack that and try and get him out.
Yeah, it'd be athletics check for you with advantage
because you're raging.
Can you move Ayla next to you, please?
Thank you.
She's got plenty of movement.
15 plus 13.
You are, yep.
You basically, one hand in, one hand.
Like opening a bear trap, Ayla.
You just rip it apart and quill,
you are no longer being grappled or restrained.
You are free.
It was dark in there.
That is unfortunately your action to do that.
I need to.
I'm so good.
Oh, anything else?
I'll do a little zap when I do it.
Yeah, you can attack the moor itself, yeah.
Why not?
Yep.
Fails.
17 lightning damage.
17 points of lightning damage.
Not enough to destroy it,
but a heavy chunk of its carapace-like creation
is broken away.
We then go to sentry.
All righty.
I'm gonna do my full 30 feet towards
wound B, I believe.
Yeah.
His secrets misty step the rest of the way.
Yeah.
Vroomf.
Nice.
Nice.
That was that first attack roll.
Cool.
My spirit shroud is gone.
Okay.
I assume from the thing.
Well, I would be DC 35. i don't think
you can physically make it i'm giving it a go could do give it a go no i mean there's no point
no i don't think you can make no there's no way i can make it um cool so then i'm gonna attack this
guy i'm gonna use level let's do a level three device if you hit first i'll see if i hit nat 20
i know you what you can roll the damage later but to speed the game up it is
gone like there is no doubt that this thing is about to take like a hundred points of damage
you watch as starbreaker tears into it you're reeling through uh the carapace the spirit armor
uh the green energy returning and just rips through it. Awesome. Yeah.
Like, you can sit there and work it out now on everyone else's turn, but just to speed
things up, because that's going to be easily 100 points of damage.
There's no way this thing's going to survive.
Let's go do a level three Divine Smile.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, even with that, that's going to be like, what, 98?
I want to know what the damage is.
Yeah, we can work it out i
just want to get onto other half turns and stuff all right anything else century because uh you've
used all your movement i'm going to bonus on your bonus action to mr step yeah i'm all right you're
done lucius um i will toss a fireball you will need to move ever so slightly just like a line
of smite yeah it's more the line of sight because they've got these two- Okay, yeah, I'll move.
Five, 10, 15. I'd say go 20.
Yeah, go five more.
25.
Yeah, there you go.
There it is.
It's actually-
It's actually laser, finally.
Yay!
Yep.
Did it.
You did it.
Oh, God, and we almost forgot.
Oh, yeah, boy.
20, 31.
Hits. Are you going to do the same thing, make it radiant?
No, I've run out of sorcery points.
So it's still just fire. 22 to 11.
22 points of fire damage. It does resist some of that.
I'm helping.
No, I've used it all.
However, that is enough.
Oh!
Oh!
Nice.
As Lucius, you send the Streak of Fire,
even though it resists some of it,
it bleeds into the Entropic Magic,
and your own magic kind of almost seems to counteract it
or break the frequency of it as you watch
as the last of these infected wounds shatter.
And as they do, the Seed of Hadar,
still with a gaping hole in its chest, is forced to reemerge.
And take with him the tannins and tentacles.
Oh, cool. That's good. He is right next to me.
And it appears and it's got this gaping hole in its chest from Sentry's wound.
It looks thoroughly wounded.
And you see, and I'm going to activate this as a reaction as it reappears.
Very well.
If I cannot consume Siaska, if I cannot corrupt Atelicus,
I'll take you all with me to glorious demise.
It holds its hand up and in that hole in its chest and its hands
and its large distended mouth,
you begin to see it accumulating dark energy,
building up a giant spell.
Nova Vigia. The timer has begun.
The enrage timer.
Just trying to see if I can make it over.
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
No, you would be just five feet out, unfortunately.
Unless you have a faster movement speed.
Yeah, well, I could always Misty Step.
Yeah?
You're literally five feet out.
I could Eldritch Blast.
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
Yeah, yeah, you'd be five feet out if you moved up.
I'm gonna come on over with Misty Step.
Okay. Come on over, come on over, feet out if you moved up. I'm going to come on over with Misty Step. Okay.
Come on over.
It's your mid-range.
And he's still hexblade cussed by me, so...
He is?
Yeah, same creature.
21?
21 is not enough, I'm afraid.
Number two.
Third attack.
Here we go.
Natural 20.
119.
That one.
Yeah.
Maybe don't will things.
Okay.
All right, I won't.
Here, use this dice.
This one's primed.
I microwaved it.
Quill.
Microwave that one.
Was that every attack?
No, you got your fourth. Let's go one more.
No, only if she has Echo.
I'll take that back. That's primed. You look at cloth.
Bonus action, I want to cast Holy Weapon on Ayla's hammer.
Bonus action, you cast Holy Weapon on Ayla's hammer.
Action, I want to Sacred Flame him.
Fail, four.
48 plus six.
That is...
Hello?
What was it? It didn't tell me.
Seven, seven.
Four. And what was that?
It vanished.
I think it was one.
It just didn't give me a number.
It vanished.
Holy shit, though.
It's not giving me a number.
14. 29. 29 damage. It appeared to me. Oh, did it? me a number it didn't give you an advantage holy though it's not giving me enough 14 29
29 down it appeared to me okay 29 points of radiant damage
is it still concentrating uh summoning this energy uh so from it is a concentration holy weapon
if you're wondering well before you read this out because it's gonna go first before ayla does uh it's gonna use a lashing tentacle to attack quill ayla uh and five ten and nova uh so it's gonna tackle three of
you uh with its lashing tentacle uh for a 25 to hit quill a natural one to hit nova so an automatic
myth and a 23 to hit ayla that's 18 bludgeoning damage to both of you, so Ayla, you'll take 9 bludgeoning damage.
Kui, you take 18.
DC10 con save.
19 plus.
All right, you succeed.
It gets to do that again,
because it gets two attacks.
This time Nova, that's a 27 to hit you.
30 to hit you, Quill.
And 28 to hit Ayla,
so all of you are going to take 18 bludgeoning damage.
Ayla, you take 9.
Concentration check fails, because i'm downed oh um excuse me that's really conscious
all right that's unconscious that's really rude i'm sorry to do that to you i i should have
i have no idea of bringing him back hit him with a hammer it is your turn. How many weapons do I have now? I will step next to him and I will recklessly attack him.
Oh yeah, baby!
We going in!
We going in. Advantage.
17 plus 15.
Hits.
Nice.
17 with the hammer through lightning.
All right.
No longer seems to be resisting lightning damage.
Cool.
Same roll again, 17.
Hits.
14 on the hammer, three lightning.
17 total.
Then dex.
That is going to be a 17.
14 lightning damage. 14 17. 14 lightning damage.
14 more points of lightning damage, solid hits.
Bam, bam, blast of lightning reaching out from your hands.
The creature's still trying to just summon this energy
and you can watch these spheres in each of its hands
and its mouths growing bigger and bigger,
like it's gonna pummel them into some greater attack uh all right
uh sentry all right i'm gonna move up to this boy and give him what for yes yes do it do it come
all right and i'm gonna get spirit shroud ready to bonus action at level three
okay can anyone heal quill nope okay uh about about me okay can you heal he's with hesper now
i'd like to be unconscious when he's about us i got nothing uh sorry 22 22 does not hit
unfortunately century yeah 20. it yeah Join me in the dice jail.
Attack's glancing off this thing, Lucius.
I've used it.
You've used it, yeah.
Piss and ass and shit.
If anyone interested, my last crit would have been 133 damage.
That's disgusting.
If only you'd rolled that now.
All I can do now...
It's fine. Is a 7th level spell, Prismatic Spring. If only you'd rolled that now. All I can do now is...
Seventh level spell, Prismatic Spray.
I'm going down anyway here.
Let's go gamers!
That's what we want! Let's go gamers!
I don't have the spell slot for it.
Sixth level Chromatic Orb. Sixth level Chromatic Orb. I don't have the spell slot for it.
Sixth level chromatic orb.
Sixth level chromatic orb.
Here we go, game.
It's blowing my mind up.
I have no way of healing either, people.
No potions.
29.
Where we're going, we don't need healing.
8d8.
1s and 2s.
48 points of radiant,
because I chromatic control it. You did, so you chromatic controlled it.
Yes, I am charismatic mastery.
You see parts of its body beginning to disintegrate
and break away, but it's still just barely holding on,
keeping this energy going.
But you're heavily, heavily wounded by that strike.
You then will take several points of damage.
Lucius. What was that, 6th level?
Yeah.
That's gonna be...
35 points of necrotic damage.
Lucius prepares an epic speech.
He says, you will never reach that.
And then goes down.
Goes down on Lucius.
Two of us, Nova Vigia.
This attack is nearly finished building.
Okay, I will summon Echo.
It's Shansara again.
Okay, so you watch this kind of like
dramatic sweeping Eladrin form appears.
You almost all, those of you who are conscious,
begin to hear faint music.
One of Shansara's songs that you recognize
from your time in the war.
A soft acoustic version.
Nice.
Nova, what'd you roll?
Oh no.
Four on my first attack.
All right, well that's first attack down.
Let's go with that second one.
Big numbers.
Here we go.
If we have to go a bit later, we will.
No big numbers, please.
Again.
Third attack.
And if that misses, we've got an Unleash Incarnate.
Six.
Four, four. Unleash Incarnate.
Six. Four, four, six.
All right.
This is not good.
Oh my god, those dice, my god.
That's seven rolls in a row, below 10.
I'm so sorry, mate.
Can I like, do something?
Can I just headbutt it?
Let me fucking do something!
I mean, that is unfortunately what your abilities
in that are for, and the dice.
This is just, whether it's blind panic,
whether it's this thing, it's unlikely that Nova's missing.
Your attacks just aren't,
it's like they're not harming the creature.
You're hitting, but it's just not having any effect.
Quill, I need you to make a death saving throw, please.
It's okay, because this one was primed for 20.
I don't want to say that.
It's a natural!
Oh my god!
Woo!
The dice, no.
They know.
The dice, no.
I haven't rolled this dice this entire time saying it was primed.
And that's for Quill, right?
He's trying to give that to me and Kim now.
That happens at the start of your turn.
What would you like to do?
You are prone, but you are conscious.
Fuck, what do I do?
I will tell you this.
The creature, the seed, looks heavily injured.
Shit.
I wasn't thinking about actually taking a turn.
I think Sacred Flame would probably be enough. Sacred Flame.
Or a big Guiding Bolt or something.
I didn't fucking prepare Guiding Bolt.
Get another Chromatic Orb.
Chromatic Orb is just lightning, which he's resistant.
Not currently.
He's not anymore.
He's not.
No, since he broke out of his...
He's taking full lightning.
You've got to hit it.
It's down to a dice roll again.
Or you can make me roll a dice with a save throw.
Or you can heal.
Or you can do whatever you want.
It's your turn.
I mean, healing, he's about to blast us all.
I'm going to, yeah, I'll do a Chromatic Awe.
Wait.
No, I won't.
I'm just going to do a Sacred Flame.
Sacred Flame is 4d8.
Chromatic Awe, the best I can do with that is...
So, Sacred Flame.
No.
Tom, I need you to tell me what I'm doing.
Come on.
I'm a gambling man.
Oh, no.
He's a gambling man.
He's a gambling man.
No, I'm not. I'm not a gambling man.
So you want me to be a gambler?
You do the deck save.
All right, deck save and throw.
Three. Let's see. save and throw. Three.
Let's see, he could roll really low.
He could roll low damage here.
Roll better.
Roll it physically, yeah, baby.
Yeah, yeah, baby.
Get them out.
That's what we like to see.
Get your dice up.
48 plus six.
Oh, that's not bad.
27 radiant damage. 27. 27 radiant damage.
27 points of radiant damage.
Quill, how do you destroy?
I mean, I like awaken from... If this Hesper's wind is still blowing around,
it somehow reawakens me,
and I'm underneath this thing.
You can see it gathering this dark and tropic energy.
I mean, I imagine he sees me go unconscious
and starts to like turn away from me,
like he's not even paying attention to me.
No, absolutely not.
I like flow up.
Bending himself against Nova currently,
that's where his attention is.
He's like conjuring these barriers,
deflecting all of Nova's blades,
leaving him completely exposed to you.
Like the wind sort of lifts me up just enough
so that I'm literally like behind his head
with this glowing sacred flame
and I just blast it right into the back of his head.
You watch Nova for you,
you just watch as he is suddenly enshrouded,
haloed by this golden energy as it burns away
the rest of its red grotesque body.
And you see Quill in the air, arms like an angel,
his wings sprayed out as this golden fire just reaches out from him.
The seed is destroyed.
Woo!
Oh!
However, Atelicus has reached the platform
where the Halls of Infinite Resplendence are,
where Valor is.
The seed is gone, but what madness or rage
is still in Atelicus, at least temporarily,
brings, you feel it, like, bring its arms down.
Boo!
Boo!
It smashes on Valor's shield.
The first one, Valor's shield manages to hold,
but the second, the shield shatters.
And you watch as Italicus's hand,
as you're desperately recovering Lucius's down,
as it's breaching its arm,
when suddenly you see a huge column of light
fill the horizon as you watch its arm severed
and fall into the ocean.
And you see where it's come from as the Astoria.
Yes!
This giant energy cannon having fired a beam,
but you can see it's recharging.
It's taken all of its power to fire that one shot
from miles away. Cool.
Atelika's second arm is now bringing up to reach down.
When you see another second large beam of energy
like cut across, not as big, but it severs off the hand.
And you look where that's come from,
and out of everybody, Quill,
you're the only one with the perception to see it.
A distant figure stood on the top of a tower of Kassotaurus,
looking down, holding a giant energy cannon in its hands,
a figure in black armor with black paper.
Holy shit.
Telekis.
Who gave him a gun?
His hands falling into the thing,
screams and howls in pain and rage.
But after a few moments,
you begin to see some semblance of control returning,
like just wailing from the pain.
You almost begin to hear sobbing.
Mother, why? Why? I just wanted to be strong, Mother.
Mother!
And just kind of begins to collapse as the giant form,
this hybrid evolved form, just collapses into the ocean
and sort of rests its head on the platform
with Valor and the others.
Just the fight gone out of it.
We've got a few moments, if you don't mind,
I'd like to press on just a little bit more,
if that's okay.
Yeah.
Sam, if that's okay, send us a message if that's not okay.
But what are you gonna do about Lucius?
Like, that would have been Quill's turn.
A few seconds have gone by.
Ayla, I mean, I don't know if any of you got any potions.
Sentry, do you have any?
I've got no Cure Wounds.
All right, Sentry's got Cure Wounds.
I think that's going to be okay because you would go pretty quickly.
Yeah, 1d8.
He only needs one.
That's all he needs.
Six plus, I've got nine.
All right, Lucius, your eyes flutter awake again.
Another moment of death snatched away from you. I told you you're not going to. Six plus nine. All right. Lucius, your eyes flutter awake again.
Another moment of death snatched away from you.
I told you you're not going to.
I'm just going to.
Hi.
For fuck's sake. Stop it.
God.
God damn it.
As Lucius comes to consciousness, you hear Valor like,
Champions, are you all right?
Max, go and find them.
And you hear, like, as Maximilian is climbing up Atelicus's head,
like, I see them, my lady.
They're fine.
I can see them.
They're alive.
We're doing okay.
We've definitely been better,
but is everything okay?
I think so.
Her Majesty managed to stop any attacks coming through,
but I don't know where that second blast, I can see the Astoria just about, but I don't know where that second blast,
I can see the Astoria just about,
but I don't know where that other blast came from.
Starbane.
Starbane from?
The Emperor?
Yes.
Max looks like, what?
Shit.
And he's looking around.
Oh, no.
The boss is here.
I mean, I think he can see.
He's over there somewhere.
Valor, are you okay?
Yes, yes, yes.
I thought that... I don't know what I would have done if he had reached through.
That was all of my energy to maintain those two barriers, but I'm all right. I'm okay.
Is everyone all right? Everyone's alive. No one's...
I mean, you're all hurt, I can tell that, but no one's...
We're fine, Valor.
Nothing permanent.
We're fine.
All right.
You get it for a moment Valor does look up and say does say
Sayana she's already gone
she she gave all of her energy to the thing we were all in, the thing we were piloting.
Wouldn't have made it very far without it.
No, I think she knew that. She's rejoined Mother now, the rest of her essence has gone into the sarcophagus.
We just need to know what to do with this one.
And she is looking, eyes closed, like this giant enormous beast the head is enormous like as big as a building
as big as an inn or a you know tower uh but just eyes closed you can still italicus is alive
breathing heavily tears at least huge enormous white eyes just coming down these scaled Coming down, he's scaled, horn-spined, mutated, bestial face, but alive.
I think he needs his mother.
Siaska, I don't know if you're powerful enough, but please, your son needs you.
You hear a faint voice, Nova. All of you.
I cannot force him to come.
He must give up his power to come to me.
Can I go up to him?
Yeah, you wanna climb down or like,
because you're on top of his back,
like you can make your way to his head
and either climb down to Valor's platform to speak to him,
or you could sort of be on top of his head talking to him.
Yeah, I can climb down.
Okay.
Can I put a hand just on his muzzle?
Yeah, there's like a flinching,
like a defensive kind of flinch.
Give me...
Make a persuasion sentry,
just to see if you're gentle enough
that Atelicus understands that you're not...
Thirteen.
Thirteen? There's hesitation. know, Italicus understands that you're not. Thirteen. Thirteen?
There's hesitation.
Like, it kind of pulls away.
You do reach out to touch, but Italicus pulls away, like,
No more.
You are stronger.
I wasn't strong enough.
You are strong.
You're stronger than anything we've ever faced.
Not enough.
Couldn't protect her before.
But you could protect Arois.
Return to your mother and use that strength
against Hadar.
Help save us.
There's a moment
Valor kind of says,
listen to her, brother.
Make another persuasion chip.
16 plus 9.
25?
25, yeah.
There's a moment. A beat.
You almost...
You reach out and touch,
and this time Italicus doesn't pull away.
You can feel, just even through
the face, like through the head, you can feel the
amount of blood, the heart pumping, this intense,
and just like a long held breath,
kind of rushes over you, kind of blowing back the vines,
blowing back the cloak, passing over you.
Very well.
I let our enemy weaken me. I was weak in seeking strength. I should have trusted her wishes. I will do so now.
Be at peace.
I entrust Eroas to you.
And you watch as Italicus's body turns to golden light,
earthy, a smell of grass and mountains and rivers,
as it blends and turns to wind,
pulled into a space.
No door, no hole, no opening,
but it coalesces into a single point behind Valor on this platform.
A space that connects to the Halls of Infinite Response.
As you do, you hear a voice in your mind.
Champions. Champions,
I believe that the terms of my assistance
are to be called upon.
Come, meet me here in this city.
This once living, now dead place.
We will talk face to face.
And it is the voice of Kalisvel Kieran.
What do you guys do?
He did honor his deal. Promise is a promise.
What's happening?
Valor will just say, I don't have any power to help you anymore. I've used everything I have. I can't give you that time to rest like I did before, I'm afraid.
But if he's willing to talk with you, he's an honorable man. I don't think he'll fight you or he'll do anything against you whilst you're in this condition.
If he wants to talk, he wants to talk.
I imagine it's something to do with Zahkira.
Possibly, I can say.
I can create a portal. That's the least I can do.
I can get you over there so you can save your strength.
Good luck.
We'll join you, but I think he wishes to speak with you alone.
He's told me he's here, but for now I'll leave you to it.
I'll go prepare Mother.
She should be waking soon.
Oh.
That's all of the Titans.
They have all returned to her now.
But it might take her some time.
I'll make sure that she's ready.
Good luck, champions.
She cuts a triangle in the air with her
hand and a portal opens that leads and you can see because you've been there once before thanks
to lucius's wish you see the same kind of large amphitheater that looks out onto the horizon
as the portal leads through
i'm not limp on the roof yeah you guys make your way through and you arrive back in that dead city
no sound there are no banners there are nothing of color nothing of worth left it is just stone
wood clay whatever was used to build the city but any semblance of life long gone when you emerge
the portal closing behind you,
you see standing there in the middle of this amphitheater,
clad in thick black magitek armor,
a two-handed sword slung behind his back
that you would recognize the handle and the guard of
is Kallus Valkyrian.
You see a discarded, enormous cannon to the side
that's just been thrown.
It's smoking.
It looks like it's been rendered powerless.
But he looks and kind of stands imperiously.
Congratulations.
Italicus would have not been an easy foe to defeat.
And I am to understand that there was a touch of Hadar about him.
Not just a touch, a whole seed.
I've seen this before.
Hadar does this with powerful creatures
that he wishes to use,
injects them with a sense of greed, hunger,
a desperate ambition,
anything that can be used to feed, used to reinforce his ideals, takes control.
I imagine that this is what has happened to my former friend and commander.
Do you have any news on her?
Sadly not.
The last we had, she took her fleet and many of her loyal followers out to the edges of Hadass base, out to the edges of the Far Realm.
She's gone to her new master now, it seems.
They know that an attack is coming.
They are preparing for it.
But that leaves us here.
The fate of Eros, the world engine. You and I. When last we met, and he looks
at you, Ayla, you showed me things.
Yeah, that was a lot. I'd be interested to know how you processed that, because it was
a lot for us.
I'm still intrigued. Out of everyone, you were the last one I expected to use such magics
to reveal that to me.
With all due respect, you weren't listening and it was really annoying, so kind of a last
resort thing.
All of you make insight checks for me.
Nat 20.
Oh.
Nine.
Eight.
That's a d10.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight.
I don't have an insight. I don't have an insight. I don't have an insight. I don't have an insight. I don't have an insight. 17. 17. Natural 20. Total?
22.
22.
Quill, you maybe get a hint of this.
When Ayla says that like you weren't listening,
there is a hint of something.
You can't quite read it, but Sentry, you read it.
It's regret.
It's an acceptance.
Somebody who acknowledges that they've made mistakes.
He nods his head.
Yes.
I at first thought it was some trick,
some illusion, some misdirection.
But there was a hint of doubt
from what you showed me, what I saw.
I saw things that you could not have possibly known.
So I sought truth and answers.
You've met the Fate Weavers, yes?
I sought them out.
They revealed to me many things.
I now believe that the future you saw
with the World Engine is a possible future.
There is a chance that should I use the World Engine,
it will only make Hadar stronger and doom this universe.
I have spent many years believing that plan
was our only recourse.
It was the only way to protect...
And he pauses,
and you see his eyes flick towards the halls of infinite resplendence
to protect what matters in this universe.
Now I am found that I am with doubt.
He looks.
And that perhaps the future of this universe does not rest in my hands but in yours so I've come to do what must be done if you are to be the protectors of this universe, if you are to be the ones to protect those who I love most,
then you must prove your strength.
I will call off my forces.
They will be yours to command if you can defeat me.
This battle has wearied you.
I can see this battle has wearied you,
and I have no intention on fighting you
when you are not at your full strength.
So rest.
Take what time you require.
But before anything else,
we will settle this.
If you cannot defeat me, then you have no hope against Hadar, But before anything else, we will settle this.
If you cannot defeat me, then you have no hope against Hadar.
And I may as well try to see if the world engine will work.
You have already witnessed as I understand
that these visions are not infallible.
Visions can be misunderstood, they can be misread.
They are also only one of a potential future.
understood, they can be misread.
They are also only one of a potential future.
But if I am to entrust
them, and he
looks towards the halls of infinite response,
in your hands,
well, I must
make sure they are the strongest hands of all.
And he just kind of steps back.
And you see
that the place he has chosen
is very arena-like
and that is where
we'll end today's episode.
Fake.
That is so...
I believe you kind of
but I still want to fight you.
It makes sense.
It makes sense.
He's going to hand over
everything he's believed in.
It's like,
let's settle this.
No armies,
no more innocent people
have to suffer.
We'll settle this between us.
In Mortal Kombat!
I fucking love that.
The coin freaking worked.
That changed so much.
Yeah.
Because that changed his mindset about everything.
When's he looking to use the coin?
Suck it!
Suck it. Suck it indeed.
Hey, thank you so much for joining us for this episode of High Rollers.
We will see you next time.
Take care. We love you.
Don't forget to go check out all of that good stuff,
like merchandise and all that kind of good stuff,
and we'll see you next time.
Goodbye.
Goodbye. Редактор субтитров А.Семкин Корректор А.Егорова
