Pickaxe. Hello and welcome to the final episode of Hyrule's Eros. Last time, beneath a red star, in a realm of hidden horror and mind-warping reality, our champions face one final enemy. Hadar, one of the first divine beings, corrupted after consuming the godly essences of his kin, now an agent of entropy and death, that believes that mortal kind will become a threat to the very fabric of existence and violently break the universe. The champions have journeyed into the far realm to face him. The goddesses Siaska and Vala have conjured a protective shield, warding the champions and the astral emperor Kalos Valkyrian from the dangerous energy of this

terrible place. Together, they prevent Hadar from using his control of the plane to tear the minds of the heroes apart, but even together, these two cannot stand forever. The heroes have rained down powerful blows against the Entropic God, but seemingly none have caused actual harm to Hadar. However, their repeated strikes and blows have caused slivers of strange silvery light to bleed from the red star, and the powerful magics have caused ghostly figures to emerge from his body. However, it seems that until now,

Hadar has been toying with them. And that, my friends, is where we begin. Here and now. Okay. The champions must find a way to overcome Hadar or it will be the end of everything they know.

To reestablish the scene, you stand in a void. Not completely bereft of colour or shape. Rocky platforms, teeth and bone protruding from them at odd angles, broken like fragments, hover and scattered about around a large central platform. Above you, in the air, the sky is red and black and grey, streaked like a swirling mist,

and a single red pinprick of light hovers above it all. Hadar, a huge, monstrous humanoid figure, limbs long, overly stretched, made of sinuous fibers and muscle. His head has no eyes or nose, but one enormous mouth that seems to stretch up, and behind it you can see but an empty blackness. Within his chest, another second mouth with fanged maw, complete with that same void lurking behind the teeth. In the battle so far you've all begin to feel this growing pressure as Hadar's attacks and magic seem to surround you with despair, inevitability, the weight of

the burden of the pressures put upon you. Those of you who have seen these embers of silver and have touched them, Aela and Sentry, felt that in doing so, connecting with this strange power, not only do you feel stronger and more powerful, if only for a brief moment, it cleanses away that pressure building upon you. Two ghostly figures. One, a humanoid figure with almost like antlers, like a dressed in hunter's raiment,

cowering before this figure. The other, a gnomish-like figure, an older woman, but strange proportions, childlike almost, with their eyes and face. They seem to be afraid of the entropic god, but pulled free from its body somehow. We begin at the top of a brand new round. Before your turns can take place, a number of things begin to happen.

Oh, God. The first is Hadar kind of calling out to you all, You do not understand. You race towards a violent, destructive end. You go beyond. Look at yourselves. A year ago, you could not even comprehend the powers you now wield.

If you continue down this path, you will shatter everything. No, I must end this now. With his hands, you watch as pieces of this realm begin to break away. Tom, I'm gonna need your help. We clear this bridge and these rocky platforms. The bridges are gone. Leaving just these crumbling remnants.

That was our way out. We were here for making our way out. And the two kind of more jagged rocky platforms as well. We can remove those, yes please. Nothing that no one is under, at least. Standing on even. Oh, and then this bit here as well. The second is that as he does this, as Hadar speaks, you begin to see that red and black and gray sky crackling with energy.

As for a raid action, Hadar begins to draw this power down, and you can begin to see this immense attack beginning to build. That will be the raid action for this time. Across the whole area. For now, it seems to just be building, like Hadar is calling it to him. Not quite clear where it's gonna strike, but a clear indicator that power is being conjured.

I will also say one last thing. Up until now, you were all seasoned enough adventurers and heroes. You immediately realized that until this point, Hadar has been toying with you. Damage, lethality, and risk at this point Hadar has been toying with you. Damage, lethality, and risk at this point increases. With that, Ayla, you are the first to act. Why is it me?

Okay, I think what I'm gonna do is, I still have Fly for this turn, until the end of this turn. So what I'm going to do is, because I heard Siaska say to Lucius, bring the spirit to me. I'm going to land beside the spirit that's near Lucius. And just say to it, please, please come with me. I can take you to Siaska. Siaska the goddess.

You see in the fear on this spirit, perhaps the remnants of a god long ago. A look of confusion and fear. I would like Ayla to make a persuasion check. Given the nature of your words, this is a persuasion check. I don't have any bonus. Nope, six. Fortunately with that, you can see that this figure wants to leave.

Like there is a belief, almost there is a moment where it goes to reach out towards you. But for whatever reason is hesitant or is concerned as you plead with it to come with you. Almost shying away from your hand as you reach out towards it. Can I... in that case, continue my movement and go towards Siaska and Vala, and I kind of want to sit, stand near them. You can actually get just inside the dome. And can I hold an action to protect Siaska? You don't actually need to hold an action

to protect either of them. As long as you are close by, if a raid action were to happen, you will gain the ability to intercept it. So you don't have to hold your action. So if there's anything else you would like to do, you are absolutely allowed to do so. I will make it clear, if you end your turn in the dome,

there is a slight draining effect on you. But you are protected from harm as long as you are in it. How long is the dome up for? Yeah, until the end of this. It is until the end of, I believe Lucius called it, so it will be at the start of Lucius's turn. Cool. Can you remind us of the start of Lucius's turn. Cool. Can you remind us of the initiative order?

Yeah, absolutely. So it's currently Aayla, Hadar is next, then it will be Nova and Lucius. And then it is Calus, Sentry, and then Quill. And in between those, there are raid actions and things like that. I'm not gonna tell you exactly where those are. Okay, in that case, I will step just outside of the door,

and then I won't need to worry about exhaustion, and if I don't need to ready an action, I will just... So I'd say if you're not necessarily close to them, what you could do is ready an action to move closer to them if something needs to. I'll do that, essentially, because I see him summoning this, and that's kind of like, with me being at the very top of the round

and not knowing what things are, and I have the hit points, so I kind of want to try and be ready to. So that'll be my turn. Okay. I will say as well, who currently has the Calus character sheet? Nova.

I would say Calus would, if you would like his intentions, seeing his power, he would like to move as close to Siaska and Valor at the end, be as close to them as he can be. If he can make an attack in between, he will do, but I would like him to move towards them as close as possible. On his turn.

I feel like he's currently restrained, and I can't remember what. I believe he is, yes. He is, yeah. I believe that currently... He does have a small boy next to him as well. Does he? I believe Sentry... There's a small boy next to him, yeah. Sentry Sentry, he has a small boy next to him, yeah.

Sentry and Lucius and Calus were all restrained at the end of the last turn. Oh, it was the smoke on the ground. Yes, which is, yeah. All right, in that case, Aayla, if you are done, then Hadar will take their turn. See them channeling this power, calling it down,

but then their hands come in. The power's still gathering, surging into them. It's raid action, not requiring concentration or anything like that. And just will raise their hand and point up above you all

on that central platform. It is time I showed you just how pointless this all is. How inevitable your doom is. And almost seems to touch a point in space in the darkness above you all. And he is casting a spell. Now, this is not a spell you know. Those of you who are spell casters

can make an arcana check to determine its effects. This is also right next to me, so. Uh, arcana. This is a free action. 14. Unfortunately this is beyond you. 24. I bless you.

Katie's allergic to good rolls, because I got 24. You okay? I'm allergic to life. Another one. Good thing we got tissues here. All right, so 24 and 29. All right, Lucius, whatever it is,

maybe it's being distracted by the moment, maybe it's the pain throughout your body, whatever it is, you're not able to focus on it. Probably focused on this God spirit in front of me. Sure. Quill and Nova, you've experienced some of Hadar's magic and things before, and you are able, though you do not know the exact spell yourselves, you are able to gather that this is a 9th level spell called Ravenous Void. I... Tom doesn't know this one.

Unlikely that you will. So I can now search for it, right? You could, yes, but I'm going to... You don't need to do that. It's going to happen anyway, right? It's going to happen anyway. Oh, no. Appearing a hundred, sort of, maybe sort of 80 feet up

above the central platform, but easily within a hundred feet of all of you. A singularity. A point in space breaks in on itself and becomes a black hole. It's not ideal. I should counter spell it. You may certainly attempt to. Okay, okay.

I'd say Lucius, you are aware of the spell, you don't know the exact nature of it. It looks really bad. I mean, it is, yeah. If you're aware of it being in my level, it is. Well, I don't, because I did the Ocado. Yeah, so. I know exactly what it is, but I mean, I can't really.

I'll leave this to you guys how you proceed, but I will need to, if you are spending your reaction to do anything, it must be now. So where is it so above? It is going to be appearing in the sky above you. And it is. Everyone. All.

So it appears as a 20 foot radius sphere, like a black hole, 20 feet radius. But you can see the rocks on the ground on all of these platforms begin to pick up and begin pulling up into the space. Count or spell 9th level. Right. Oh. Okay. All right, you're gonna count or spell it at 9th level. In that case, Hadar is gonna use their legendary action,

consume magic. Oh shit! Oh god. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh, okay. That's the sitch. As, let me Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Okay. That was the sitch. As, let me tell you, let me describe it.

So Lucius, you see him, and Hadar doesn't cast spells in the way a mortal does. He is willing this magic. But you can still see those threads, those strands that make up the nature of a spell. And you send your chromatic magic up to try and disrupt it. But Hadar is almost waiting for this and just opens that mouth wide and you send your Chromatic Magic up to try and disrupt it, but Hadar is almost waiting for this

and just opens that mouth wide and begins to try and suck in and draw in the magic of the Counterspell. The way this works is both you and Hadar roll one D20 plus your spellcasting ability modifier. If Hadar wins the roll, the Counterspell is consumed. If you win, then the counter spell will trigger normal. Not this again.

Yeah. You are this baby boy. Plus five. I believe. Plus five, okay. Have you got any, like, no bacons, no nothing from you? Well, do I? I would need to know it now.

I know. I've got seven, so I could still. Such a mid roll. He's probably gonna have. I won't, I won't. Just go. Okay, rolling. Pure fate.

21. I rolled a 19. 26. Oh no! Yeah, that's a. That's a good roll. But I did count the big blank hole, right? No, that's a... That's a good roll. That's a good roll. But I did counter the big blank hole, right?

No. He's eaten it. He's eaten it. He consumed it. Not just that. As he consumes the spell, you see that there is some form of empowerment as he consumes it. You used a 9th level spell.

I should have bought an... There's no way. You used a ninth level spell. I should Porten. Porten should... There's no way. You didn't know. No way of knowing. That's literally what Porten is. But you do see now,

having consumed this magic, you're just... Yes. A powerful individual, but not enough. Now, Lucius, go to your end. And with that, you feel all of you,

this force beginning to draw you up towards this 20-foot sphere of darkness. Let me just check this spell, because this is my first time using this spell as well. It's when the spell first appears. Okay, so for now, any unheld objects, you see rocks, you see maybe things that have dropped on the ground,

minor things, you know, a blade or something that's fallen out of your thing, but rocks and broken pieces of teeth float up and are pulled into this sphere like a black hole, and you watch that as they get closer, they break and they just turn to dust and disintegrate. It's like a sphere of annihilation.

There is certainly an element of that here in place. At the start of your turns, you must make a strength saving throw. Oh, I'm good at this. That was Hadar's first action. This, I'm going to remove this. We're going to remember that the black hole is up in space, but it's hard to see.

Hadar is then going to turn to Quilliam. Not Quilliam. Who's currently higher up and therefore closer to the black hole. His big mouth. That is an important thing to note. It is. Well, actually... Maybe.

I would say that right now the sphere is at least 80 feet above all of you, even those of you who have flown up slightly higher, it's a good sort of like 100 or maybe like 60 feet up. Quill, he's just going to make an attack against you with his Entropic Claws. Yeah. Okay. That is a 31 to hit. That's slightly out of my shield range, I think.

Yes. I am going to start rolling damage. Just a little bit out of shield range. I can shield up to a 20, so. That'll be 22 points of slashing damage, please, Quill. No poison damage? Does he do poison? I'm resistant to poison. How many Doom tokens do you currently have, Quill?

That is a very good question. Three, I believe. Okay, you gain an additional one. I have a little token for you. And therefore more damage, right? And therefore that will be... So you have three now? Yeah.

Or four now? Well, four now. Four now. That is an additional 4d6 because this is also some necrotic damage coming your way. 22. 26. Sounds like he's rolled really well on these d6s.

43 necrotic damage. As the claws rake across you, that prevailing sense of despair bears down on you like a force now, crushing into you. Okay. That was 4d6 on top of the regular damage, right? You didn't somehow roll a 43 with that.

No, that 46 was on top of the 8d6 of necrotic damage. Oh, good God. Okay, just 12d6. But that is Hadar's turn complete. My apologies, a bonus action. As a bonus action, after he swipes at Quill with his other hand, he kind of gestures. And he's going to rearrange the battlefield. Oh, man.

Oh. Oh. Not me, I'm great. So all the islands... Just push. Yeah, those islands away, please. How far are we talking? He pushes them about 20 feet away from the platform,

increasing the distance to 40 feet from the central platform. Where are we? That is the end of Hadar's turn. At the first raid action, you see that power is just continuing to coalesce and gather. Nova. So am I being affected by this, even though I'm, like, way out now from where the...

The ravenous void? Yeah. You are still within 100 feet of the city. 100 feet. Yeah, I need you to make a strength saving throw, please. Whereabouts is at the limit of 100 feet? I'll tell you that, but like, yeah. I would say that in this place,

you are 40 feet from the central platform. It is about perfectly in the middle. You are looking at maybe you are at least another 20, maybe 30, 40 feet from being at the edge of this thing. Would this count as 100 foot? Like this very tin top at the end here? You would still be within range. Is every platform?

Every platform is within range. You would have to fly out beyond the platforms. That is seven minus two, that is a five. At the start of your turn, you are pulled straight to the sphere's center, ending in an unoccupied space as close to the center as possible. Creature that enters the sphere for the first time

or starts its turn there, so this will be the case for you, takes some damage. Can I negate that with a teleport? Because I have- You teleport as a reaction. This is the start of your turn, so you would enter it before you have a chance to do it. No.

You would be, if you can teleport then on your turn, once this takes place, you'll be able to teleport away. When can we do player raid actions again? At the start of any of your turns. What were they? We can create an arcane gate and we can create that dome. A shield, yeah, basically a shield to Valorant's yask. A very short arcane gate.

A portal, sorry. It lasts a turn, doesn't it? It's a turn, yeah. 34 points of force damage, Nova, as you feel pieces of your skin, your armor, beginning to break away as this black hole is disintegrating you. You are currently, whilst you are in the sphere in the air, you are restrained, I know you can't be restrained

because you're in a free action, and you can make a strength check against the Spell Save DC to end the restraint condition on yourself or another creature within reach. But you are basically hovering, you are 100 feet up in the air in the center of this dark sphere, in the center of this black hole, basically.

I'm guessing there's nothing I can tether to or anything like that. Like, nothing at all. You are basically hovering. You are trapped in this gravitational void. Oh boy. But that is at the start of your turn, you've taken the damage for entering it,

now you have your full turn. I'm just trying to double check, it's like a free action, isn't it? I'm just trying to check if there's a teleport range on me swapping with Tiangong. Okay, yeah, certainly. I'll remind Lucius you are up on deck and then we will have Calus act.

I think there's actually no limit to the range on it. It just says at the cost of 50, regardless of the distance between you two. So... Could absolutely swap places. Tiangong will technically enter the sphere space and will immediately take damage. So that will destroy Tiangong.

Can you remind me what the black goop that was next so yeah it actually appears it's not quite goop it appears like um an amorphous cloud of dark red magic and it is in the shape of a mouth um and you saw it trying to bite quill that was that was all you've seen it do so far so probably take some damage from that but i'd rather not be in the black hole and 30 foot of bonus action misty steps not going to get me too far so i will free action um you could drop 30 feet but then you would fall so yeah yeah so i'll free action swap with tiangong tiangong is destroyed because as soon as it enters the black hole you watch as the spectre is vanquished at the end of this I'll do my reclaim potential from that.

But I'll leave that for now. So that's a free action. Yeah, you see this more, by the way, as you kind of appear next to it. It does look like it is going to try and take a bite of you as well. And it does look like something you could strike. I will say this. It does look like it can be attacked. Or there is also Hadar himself.

Yeah. I would say those of you who passed that Arcana check, you do imagine that this Ravenous Way does appear to be a spell that he's concentrating on. Okay. In which case, I think I'm actually gonna... Because I have War Mage Slayer, he has disadvantage on every concentration check. He certainly does. If I hit him.

So... Eldritch Blast is a d10. Yeah, let's just see if I can hit him. That's a good show. 17 to hit. 17 will not hit Hadar. The first blast almost warps the space around it. Second one shifts the space, causing these beams to almost fold around him

as if an invisible shield is there. 23. 23 will hit. Okay, and that is six points of damage. Six points of damage. Still, it's a DC 10. And he has disadvantage because of Mage's Attack. This will only fail if I roll a 1.

Maintains concentration. One last blast. Same 23 to hit. 23 hits. And it is 11 points of damage. Still a 10 then. Still a 10. Still a 10.

A 2 but not enough. Still succeeds on a 2 unfortunately. It was worth a try. Yeah, so you can see like as the 2 kind of bend around him, the next 2 it's almost like, it almost two kind of bend around him, the next two, it's almost like it almost allows them to hit him and just shrugs them. Does not seem to really bother the creature. He let you hit him.

I'm just trying to see if I've got any bonus actionies. But I don't think I do. There's nothing really bonus actiony I can do. Actually, no, I was going to say second win but i might save that for like a last minute desperado situation i can help jill him um come on you big oaf um actually no sorry the manifest echo was a bonus action so i'm done okay all right make sure you get your reclaim potential hit points back. In that case, at the end of your turn,

this is not legendary action, but the maw, the maw of doom, will attempt to bite you. Does the maw go towards the nice black hole? It does not. You tried, boo. You tried. It's unaffected. I thought he was one of those guys who didn't care about his minions.

He might have been. Yeah, I mean, this isn't even like a living thing. It seems to almost be like a manifestation. That would be a 30 to hit you, I'm afraid. Can you make another strength saving throw for me, please? Oh, I'm really good at those. Hey, if it restrains you, you can't get sucked in. True.

13 minus two, 11. As the teeth enclose around you, Nova vanishes. And you are swallowed by the Doom War. Oh man. As you find yourself complete pitch black, you cannot see, you are blinded. You can't be restrained because you are got the Ring of Reaction, but you are blinded. You can't be restrained because you are, got the ring of reaction,

but you almost feel pressed. And the ring is allowing you to move freely, but like almost like you are in something that's like stomach or something like that. Can I have Nova? Slow. And the more remains. No, the more remains.

That was Nova's turn. Lucius. Star my go? Star your go. I need you to make a strength saving throw, please, my friends. Even if you are restrained. If I was to reactively get out my captain's command and kind of slam it into the rock

as an attempt to anchor myself, I'd give you advantage on the saving throw. 19. You get plus 30 from me. You're in the range. Remember to add your own bonuses as well. 24. Kind of embeds into the stone,

and Lucius, you feel your body pulled up, but you are holding onto the ground as the captain's command is wedged in. Moonstar gauntlet. Yeah, clutching onto it, and your body's being pulled up, but you're resisting. You are not pulled up into the sphere.

I'm going to shout at the spirit next to me. Yes. Do not fear Hadar. Yes, continue. I forgot something. I'm going to not take it away from you. Go to our goddess. Siaska, please.

I'm going to try another persuasion. Okay. Make a persuasion check. Ow. I'm going to try another persuasion. Okay. Make a persuasion check. 28. 28. The spirit does not move to Siaska on its own. And what you see, what I forgot to do, is Hadar is in the process.

You see one of his arms is elongating stretching out almost threatening to reclaim the soul right as if on the start of his turn he should have done this already but Mark forgot and you see it reaching out and you reach out and the spirit kind of turning between the two the confusion the fear on its face turns into a more solemn, stoic decision. And it doesn't look like the spirit has the ability to move on its own. But what it does do is it places a hand over yours, which is clutching the sword. And the spirit almost forms over you. And you feel something...

Weird. ...attach. And for the rest of you who look at Lucius, there is almost this kind of like spectral overlay of, you almost see like these antlers that are like spectral and this cloak of leaves flowing out from him. As it kind of almost connects with

Lucius and has become bonded. You are now carrying one of these divine souls, Lucius, and it remains attached to you. Nice one. Cool. How does that feel? What does it do? Right now, there is just this feeling of a presence, like a ghostly kind of like, something is almost bonded with.

Not what I had in mind, but okay. You also, I'd say that like, because you passed that saving throw, you can move normally. Oh, no, you were restrained, I forgot. Basically, yeah, I'm restrained. I feel like I'm anchored to this sword, right? Does the bubble disappear, because it's Lucius's turn?

Yes, the dome does disappear, thank you. Yeah, it's more that you're restrained. Like, you almost kind of pull yourself back down to the ground and like, you almost feel like you could move using this thing if the tendrils weren't sort of like keeping you from moving. How often can we do player actions? There is a recharge.

You don't know. Siaskir and that will tell you. Yeah, we don't know how long until the shield is back. Yes. But that was rolled. It was. Yeah. Hey.

Hey, Mark. Yes. Benevolent DM. Best guy ever. You have a bonus action left. Oh. But by all means, run me through what you were thinking. All right, got a bonus action.

We have callous and then safe. I haven't moved. Can I let go of my sword, create an arcane gate, go into it, because it's between me and the black hole, come out of it towards Hadar. Using the velocity I have.

You're novering it. I'm going to quicken a spell and chromatic orb his face as well. So you want to go, do you want to float into the air? Speedy thing come out. And then pop out and attack him. And then use that velocity.

There would be no action in letting go. Here's the difficulty, right? I'd say, in theory, the way this works is yes, absolutely. Because although you are being restrained by this clinging black fog on the main platform, but the thing is, is the force movement of the pulling you towards it, it's involuntary. So the restrained effect doesn't

apply to it. So you would float towards the star if you create the arcane gate, which only lasts a turn because of Lucius, because it's the play rate. You would go in it, you would emerge out of it near Hadar. I will let you take your turn there, as in you do what you want, but next turn

you will automatically go up into the sea. Because I think that you wouldn't have any way to anchor yourself to make the strength save. The speed you're going, you'll probably start to orbit it. And then you become a black hole satellite. Lucius moon.

So I'm gonna pump this chromatic orb up. So you and the spirit, and whereabouts roughly do you want to come out? Basically between Hadar, no, I want Hadar to be between me and the black hole. So I'm coming at him towards the black hole. So you're basically coming from this side. So that he's at least, his body's going to stop. I'll high five you on the way through.

All right, so as you imagine, you let go, having secured yourself, but then you have this idea. You let go, leaves Captain's Command in the ground. Yeah. You fly up, you call out, Valor! And then she creates this portal. You travel through it. You appear on the other side of Hadar towards him.

You can make a chromatic orb. I'm beefing up a chromatic orb. I'm quickening it so I can bonus action it. Absolutely. Seventh other side of Hadar towards him. You can make a Chromatic Orb. I'm beefing up a Chromatic Orb. I'm quickening it. So I can bonus action it. Seventh level. Okay, here we go. I cannot consume magic. Oh my god! Natty won.

I mean, if there's anything you want to do to change it. I throw it into my own face. Can you do anything? Do you want a Seeking Spell? Oh, I can Seeking Spell, but I did do Quicken Spell. Can I do multiple meta magic? want a Seeking spell? Oh, I can Seeking spell, but I did do Quicken spell. Can I do multiple meta magic? Seeking spell is one of the few that I believe you can. All right, I was seeking it, so that's, remind me, that's four sorcery points. That's four sorcery points.

Thank you, Kim. And then roll it again. Oh my god. Natural twin. This, my friends, is why, this is why you remind players of things that they can do. Thank you. Oh my god!

Thank you for never letting me do that. 7th level Chromatic War. So what are we talking about dice-wise? Let's go to my sheet. That's a big roll. It's a naughty roll. It's pretty naughty. It's 98.

So 98 would be 72. And then roll the dice. Oh, that's nasty. I'm doing it on here. Plus 47. So another 47. 11. Oh! Look at this big boy!

So big now. I'm the biggest boy yet. A couple of things happened. Uh oh. First things first. I have to make a concentration check. Oh, holy crap. Against DC, so 70 something. I'm still going to work this out.

So it's 75 plus 47, which is 85, 125? Sure. Have I mapped that? Don't know, but let's go with that because I think that basically puts the DC at like 50 something, 60 something, which even I can't succeed. But,

you never know. Because when I fail a saving throw, I can automatically succeed it using a legendary resistance. Which I am going to do.

Yeah. Fuck. So you watch Lucius as you let go of Captain's Command. Here's the other kicker, Lucius. Captain's Command, without you to kind of hold it in place, is pulled up as an unattended object. Hold on, Legendary Resistance?

Yes. I'm an adept. No, no, Legendary Resistance is a special thing to succeed saving throws. It's not resistance to damage. Yeah. I'm not resisting the damage. This is succeeding on the concentration check. It was a concentration.

I'll let it slide. Captain's command as an unattended object is automatically pulled up into the sphere, and as it does, it is broken apart and destroyed. I don't believe it is. I think it's only non-magical items. No. What?

Unattended objects. Oh, God. Okay, well, maybe it is. Let me read this again. Unsecured objects within 100 feet of the sphere are pulled towards the sphere's centre. But Lucius is also paying back up towards that. Non-magical objects fully inside the sphere are destroyed if they are being worn or carried. Non-magical.

So destroyed. So it's not destroyed. Yeah, but also I'm the DM and I'm saying it's destroyed. Yeah, you know what? Wow! This isn't like, it's not Ravenna's void, it's Hadar's void. Well, no, also, I don't care if it's in, I'm saying this's destroyed. Yeah, you know what? Wow! It's not Ravenous Void, it's Hadar's Void. Well, no, also, I don't care if it's in... I'm saying this destroys the magic item.

If it was an artifact, I would say otherwise. But this is just a fairly mundane magic I have. There's a sheath over there. Because also I think that there's, you know, there's costs for that amazing thing. Yeah, I'm all for it. You fly up, the captain's come on, but you teleport through,

and as you do, just this swirling storm of magic. Is this acid or cold? Acid. Big fan of acid. And so just this kind of burst of orange light just coats Hadar. And you do see, up until this point, every strike there has been no reaction. There's been a grunt of annoyance at best. But as it coats, there is this, as you see now, parts of that muscle have actually burned.

They quickly heal and repair, regenerating over, but you see for the first time that damage. And as it does, as that wound is left, these kind of huge pock marks, these gaping holes where the acid melts away at Ardha's flesh, a drop of silver falls to the ground. And also, as he struggles to main concentration on the ravenous void, you see another one of these souls pull itself free.

Nice. Do you have his belly button? His mouth is his belly button. I mean, from the momentum of you just blasting through this guy as well, these lights are like blasting right next to you. The figure who pulls itself free of Hadar after this brutal attack and the concentration, having to sacrifice one of the divine souls to maintain the concentration.

The figure appears to be a woman. Her body is dressed almost like a noblewoman's, like a queen's. She wears a crown, long, spilling hair, but in her hand she has a bow and arrows and a quiver on her back. And you can see there are almost these trailing chains kind of connected to her belt that kind of fold backwards.

And she kind of emerges, almost looking around as if in the middle of a battle and she's pulled free from it and another one of these divine essences spills on the rock's nearest quill it's where it splashes and lands oh yeah it does that was just out of my but that is pretty much i believe your whole turn with i think and then i think you've maxed out there and as i said thank you that is, you are basically gonna just fly into that at the start of your next turn. Also, Door of Stars will need a recharge timer as well. Thank you very much.

Thank you for reminding me. No problem. Oh, you also get 15 temp HP. Going through the Arcane Gate. Yeah. You do. 15 temp HP. Might be needed. Lucius, that is Lucius' turn.

That was an epic turn. What a turn, yeah. Yeah. Nice work. At the end of Lucius' turn... Hadara goes home? Hadara's going to use a legendary action. I'm going to...

He's going to use a legendary action and is going to cast another spell. It's not a concentration spell. As he casts Pulse Wave, targeting Aayla, Sentry, and Calus. All three to make constitution saving throws, please. Pulse Wave. They all get a Pulse Wave from me. You do indeed.

That was 31 for Calus. They won. Success. Rhiannon! 31 for Calus. Day one, success. Rhiannon! I'll just get my dice ready. Yeah, you probably should. Oh, bloody hell. 30 for me. Success for Aayla, success for Calus.

Half damage to you both. Because I'm that one. Oh, Rhiannon! Rhi! God! Get us off! Rhi! God! Get us off the ring! Get us off the ring! Can you swap t-shirts, please?

Not too much damage. It's 21 points of force damage to Sentry, 10 points of force damage to Calus and to A-Lan. However, there's a couple of other effects. Sentry, you are pulled 15 feet closer to Hadar, as you of pulled to the edge of the platform. It's all right. It's easier to hit him there. All of you, including Calus, even those who succeeded, your movement is reduced by 10 feet. Oh, shit.

Until the start, until the end of your next turn, sorry. End of next turn, okay. All right. What a shit. Calus. Does he need to do a strength save? But he's restrained. Yes, the restraining is basically preventing them from moving,

but the thing is still pulling them up into the sky. 14 plus 16. 30 is a success. Callus just kind of almost slams his feet into the ground, still being clawed out by these things, and kind of wedges himself in place. If he was not restrained, he would be able to move normally. Is he close enough to Hadar to get an attack in?

He's in the crossbow. I got 20 foot of movement. I would say he can. Well, he can't move because he's restrained. Has he got a gun? He's restrained. But I'd say he can because Hadar's kind of filling up a space, like his arms stretched out and things like that.

I'd say he can attack him. So I'm thinking attack and then pull back towards Tiasca and Valor. Yeah. He can't move. He can't move though. Yeah. Can he save out of the? He can use his second wind to end the condition himself.

Oh, he can do that on a bonus action. So I'll do that. He also gains hit points back. And he gets stuff back. Yeah, 1d10 plus 30. He gains 39. I rolled a nine on the d10. Wow. 39 HP.

So you watch as Calus is just like, kind of slams his foot on the ground and almost kind of breaks these tendrils of fog around him. Fairness. I love him. I am not done here, Hadar. You and I have unfinished business. Lucius. I could've roleplayed that. I could've roleplayed that, Marn. Let me roleplayed I could have roleplayed that part

Let me roleplay I'm starving Please let me roleplay You can't do this Please don't do this It's his baby It's like when Veracitor Had a weird voice

I'm coming for you So What's Calus doing? So I think Yeah attacking Alright Attacking Hadar yeah? Yeah

Okay Yeah Yeah Do it do it do it Big roll 22 to hit Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Do it, do it, do it. Big roll. 22 to hit. 22 will just hit. Oh!

Just the fall. I will now tell you, 22 is the exact AC. Okay. 13 slashing damage and... It's a d8. It's a diamond. Two radiant attacks. Jesus Christ. Someone else has colors.

Wait a minute. What's a d8? How many attacks do I get? Two. She said two. It was two. Twenty... It's plus 18. How many attacks do I get? Two, she said two. It was two. Uh, 20, uh... You can get it. It's plus 18.

I don't think I get it. 18. What's 18 plus 10? 28. Yeah. Plus 10's the easiest one. What's happening to you right now? It's Hadar, I'm just thinking, not Hadar, Starbeard, I'm thinking about the Starbeard.

That's better. And I'm like, woohoo! Stop pulling my masks out. It happens more than you do. 16 slashing damage, 5 radiant damage. 21. So you watch as these two strikes carve in, and you see Hadar just like, your pitiful little bites mean nothing, Kalas.

Like the rest of your empire, it will crumble and fail. That's really mean. Do we know if Calus was in Wrath's stance or Guardian's stance? He moved from, because I switched it on my go, whatever it was. He started Guardian. So he's in Wrath. So it would have been another 20 damage. So all of that.

I remember being like, I should have been Guardian. It does mean he would have taken some more damage on his turn as well, so just deal him another 10 points. Is that 20 per attack? Plus 10 per attack when he's in Rethesons, but he takes extra damage and he has lower AC and stuff and things like that. And then 20 foot of movement towards... He is restrained. Oh no, he broke your free.

I broke it. But his movement got reduced, right? Yeah, so 20 foot movement to Velen. He's fine, he's got movement. And I don't know if that little scab wants to have a little swipe or a kick. I don't care about him at this point. He's sucked into the void. Yeah, actually that would 100% have been what happened.

He gets sucked up and just destroyed. All right, end of Calus' turn. End of Calus' turn. And he says something really cool and like winks his hair back and it's like. Raid action two. You watch as that storm of the void wrought cataclysm builds. And we now see a massive line

starting from the back of this platform all the way down, covering the entire width. It is 40 foot wide and it goes the entire length of this platform all the way down, covering the entire width. It is 40 foot wide, and it goes the entire length of this thing. Sentry, Aayla, Calus, Valor. Would Hadar have to do concentration checks on those attacks? He would.

Two attacks. Yes. Again, I think the damage would not have been high enough, even with the plus 10. Yeah. It would have been, i think he did like 20 about 20. about 20 something so i'll put it at about like 12 but with his bonuses he succeeds on the ravenous voice his constitution is very very high um worth asking oh no no no yeah okay

yeah okay it's when it gets picked up that's what it is um She watches this massive column as that storm now grows. Hadar almost forms it into a giant screaming mouth that seems to be charged, primed, and ready to surge along the platform towards Valor and Siaska. When their shield crumbles, you will understand the folly of your actions. Sentry. you will understand the folly of your actions. Sentry.

Okey dokey. So can I first of all enlarge to try and give myself advantage against this black hole? Well the black hole thing happens at the start of your turn. Okay. So this is gonna, you're gonna have to make that strength save now. Rock and roll, buckaroo. start of your turn. So this is gonna, you're gonna have to make that strength save now. Come here. Get this way.

Oh, that's not bad. It's not bad. All right, good, thank you. 20. 20 is not enough, I'm afraid. Sentry, you are pulled up to fly up into the sphere. Pulled up to fly up into the sphere. Oh, yeah, go.

28 points of force damage. You are pulled up 100 feet to the middle of this sphere, feeling your armor break and disintegrate around you. She's not good. She's not good, is she? What can I do? Do... Wait, did you have a molt on you that stops... I believe you do have a Divine Essence.

I am resistant to all damage, yes. So you take half damage on everything. I just remembered that you had that. I am resistant to all damage, yes. So you take half damage on everything. I just remembered that you had that healing. Oh yeah, the emotes, I forgot what they actually do. They give you half damage to every type of damage. For a turn, until the end of your next turn. But she's still got one. And it also clears all stacks of doom.

I'm going to suck up that one next to me. Oh, I got doom. I'm going to suck up that one next to me. Oh, I got two. You didn't take any necrotic damage in. So can I try and fly down? Do you have a fly speed? It just says that I can... Oh, you can fly because you've got a mount. Then you can.

So can I fly 20 feet? You are technically restrained whilst you are in the sphere. If I bonus action Starbreaker, I won't be? Then I would say then yes. Then I will bonus action Starbreaker. It breaks free of Restrainger. Wow.

So I have another. It does get another level of exhaustion. The exhaustion is mounting up. Remember, it's a minus one for every level in it. Yeah. So you kind of summon the energy of starbreaker into the green glow spiraling up and you break free of this restrained you are now free to move you have a fly speed okay um so

oh my god it's all right you've just you've just had a baby we can give you some time um so i'm gonna try and fly down 20 feet. So I'm still 80 feet in the air. Misty. No, her bonus action is Starbreaker. Well, you have a fly speed of 50 feet, minus 10, 40 feet. So you could go 40 feet down. So you'd be 60 feet away from him.

60 feet. So then you could, feet down, so you'd be 60 feet away from him. 60 feet. So then you could, you've already used your bonus action, you could dash and get another 40 feet. Okay, I'll do that. That gives you about 20 feet away from him. 20 feet away. The black hole was 60 feet up, wasn't it?

From the ground, it would have been 80 feet up. Okay. Okay. So I've still got 20 feet to go. Yes. That's fine. That's not too bad if still got 20 feet to go. Yes. That's fine, that's not too bad if I fall 20 feet, that's all right. I can take that. Well, oh yeah.

And then I will enlarge to give myself advantage for the next time. Does Starbeam still have movement left? Yeah. No. He doesn't have any. No, he used it all. All right. So yeah, you're going to enlarge. Yeah.

And then I guess I can't reach those two elemental. I can't reach them because they're too far away. The two spirits, they are on the ground. They don't seem to be being pulled up. Like the spirits seem almost anchored to the ground. All right. That's my turn. That's my movement, everything.

All right. All right. Quilliam. Quilliam! Quilly Billy. Well, I... Essentially that means your mote, your divine essence is now ended, if I can take that back. Of course.

Oh, I think I'm about to give it to Quill. All right. Well, I don't know, I'm about to get slow. I need you to make a strength saving throw, that's very true. Strength, what have I got here? Oh, plus one. So get slow. Oh, I need you to make a strength saving throw. That's very true. Strengths, what have I got here? Oh, plus one. So what's the... DC is over 20, so...

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Three? Yeah. Quinn's also pulled up. Actually, even if I argued for advantage, I can't. I was going to say I'm just going to try and fly away from this thing. This won't help. This is not like wind.

I'm trying anyway. 24 points of force damage as you are pulled up into the same sphere. And you are now restrained. Hadar, however, though, he's a deity, right? Yes. Counts as a divine being. So anti-magic field I would know wouldn't work

shit certainly not on this current active spell because it is created by a deity yeah give me some time might work on other things

maybe later in the fight but you don't know later in the fight I'm just saying't know. Later in the fight? I'm just saying, like, don't count it out entirely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me some time. I just had a baby. Pfft.

Okay. That's not a baby, Tom. Um, okay. Well, anti-magic field ain't working. Um, I will. I want to try and break his concentration. Okay. And I'm so high up and so far away, a heal wouldn't reach anyone anyway.

So I will do a sunbeam. Okay. Um, right up against him. I'm gonna light him so well, he's gonna look gorge. Okay. Um, so yeah,, makes a constitution save. Success. Okie doke. He is not blinded, but he takes half damage of 68.

Okay. Nice. So he would take... Haha, these guys are going everywhere. 22, so an 11 save. So that's the already halved, the 22? No. Because you succeeded? Oh sorry, yeah, he takes 11 save. So that's already halved, the 22? No. Because he succeeded? Oh sorry, yeah, he takes 11 damage.

11 points, yeah. And then a DC 10 constitution on that one. Let's see if I roll one. I did not. You did not. That's my action, and my bonus action is to... I'm being tossed around in this thing. I'm gonna say I don't have any bonus actions anyway, so that is me. Okay. Which is how I see me. All right. Is that

cool? Good talk. End of turn? End of turn. Coy, you are currently being held 100 feet above. Yeah, I'm being torn apart, actually. So as the void wrought cataclysm, this mouth surges down the platform. It actually passes underneath you. Okay, good. You are escaped from this. I believe... It gets everyone else on the platform.

Sentry, Aayla, Kalos. Well, this is where it matters because the raid actions don't necessarily target you guys. It is targeting Valor and Siaska. Sentry is going to take some damage, but she cannot help intercept the attack. She's going to take some damage. Kal she cannot help intercept the attack. She's going to take some damage. Calus and Ayla are both there.

This attack... I don't want you to hate me. It's going to be horrific. This attack deals a lot of damage. When you intercept it, you and any creature that chooses to intercept it decide how much of the damage you wish to take anything left over is spilt onto vala and siaska the damage is 250 points of damage are you fucking kidding me callus will take one half he will take 125 he's just taking it he will take 125. He's just taken it. He will take 125 points damage. I'm going to make that call for him.

Has that knocked him under 100? 125, it does not. I might change. I'm going to slightly change that. I'm going to have that trigger in a minute. Okay. What would you like to do, Ayla? It's your choice.

And this will not be reduced by your resistance. This is technically... Can I choose, like, a number? Yeah, yeah, you choose. Like, you basically, there's 250. There is now 125 points of damage left. You choose how much of that damage you want to take. Anything left over is still...

Oh, there's 150 left. 125 left. Yeah, Calus has taken half of it. Oh, right, okay. I'll take the rest of it then. I'll take the rest of it. So you take 125. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so between Calus I'll take the rest of it then. So it's 250. I'll take the rest of it, that's fine. So you take 120 points.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so between Calus and Aayla. I thought you were asking us both to take 250 each. No, no, no, no. I was like, ugh. There is a pool of 250 points of damage. I'll take the rest of it. Anybody who intercepts it

chooses how much of that they take. All right, so between you, Calus and Aayla, you step in front of Valor and Siaska, sort of sword outraged or hammer, and you just block as much of this as you can, using your body to shield the other two as you are just like, I would say that this probably would like rip off pieces of like your armor.

It would like rip pieces of like, you know, Kallus's armor away. It would scorch your arms, your face. It kind of just like leaves you both like heavily beaten as you take 125 points of damage each. However, you are left still standing. That's so cool. Ow!

How many hit points is Calus on currently, TommyWombus? It's a good one. 100 and nice. 169. Oh. Yeah, in fact, I'm going to have something trigger then. Oh, is he going to get Rigi? Angy, careless.

Well, there was something here. Oh, he's angry. If something happens, I inform the end. I'm going to slightly adjust the HP levels here. When Calus is struck by this, kind of like shielding Valorant Siaska, when Calus is struck by this, kind of like shielding Valor and Siaska, you see this moment where something almost flashes in his eyes.

Not anger. Well, some anger, but a protective spirit, a kind of paternal, perhaps for Valor, the love, you know, protecting the love of his life. He kind of slams the sword Calathea into the ground. He looks up at Hadar. Enough! I once drowned in a sea of despair like you. I thought that everything was pointless, that there was only one path to victory, that we were limited.

But I see now that I was wrong. I have traveled, I have fought beside those who have broken through their limitations, who have overcome the impossible. They did not do it for greed or arrogance or because they felt that they were some hero in some eternal story. They did it because there were things

that they sought to protect, things that they... people that they loved. My days as emperor are over. Today, I forge new oaths. Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, yes!, I'm a good to the group,, the group, to the group, to the group, to the group, to the group, to the group, to the What? Today I swear that for all of those who have fallen, their dreams, the hopes of all those who are yet to come,

they shall become blades forged together that I will use to carve a path towards a tomorrow, towards a future that needs no heroes. And you watch, and Lucius, you had seen that within Calus there was this ember, small ember still, this golden light hid under layers of dark armor. Even without the Truesight, you will see this golden aura of flame. As Calus embraces his destiny with an Oath of Love, and he gains the Oath's renewed abilities. One thing which is important for you all to note is he's gained the Aura of Passion,

leaving each of you plus four to hit and damage whilst you are within the aura. Within 30 feet? Yes. I'm in another dimension. I didn't see any of this. You did. It's a good thing I wouldn't, she would have passed out. Nobody would have passed out.

Swooned too much in. With that, and the Voidwrought Cataclysm having wrecked havoc, we begin a brand new turn. Just fucking tissue time, guys. Oh, that was so cool! Yeah, holy shit. Awesome. Ayla? Oh, okay.

Ayla will just hold up the hammer, sort of crack the neck after taking that damage, and then- Back to back with Calus, like the two of you kind of ready. I'll just smile and run towards Hadar and- Yeah. Do you need you to make a strength saving throw? Oh yeah, shit. I can choose to make it a 25 as well. Yeah, you are fine. Like, you will feel this thing trying to pull you up,

but maybe it's just you dig your feet so hard into the ground it almost anchors you in place. Stomp, stomp, stomp as you begin making your way forwards. You got that plus four from Calus as well. Yep. Aether, Make him suffer! There's some paint right there. Okay, please. Oh, it's a 16 plus 19 to hit because I've got that thing.

Yeah, sure do. 16 on the hammer, one lightning for the first one. Oh, and plus four to damage rolls. Oh! Plus four. Hang on, give me a second. So 17, so 21. Yep. The hammer slams in! 18 plus 19. It's... 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 on the hammer. Six lightning.

Plus a dex save. Well, before that dex save, you watch as again, now striking a second blow. There's a couple of things because another sliver and there's another divine essence is going to emerge. As the hammer strikes, it kind of sends it flying onto the ground behind you. And you now see that as these essences and as the souls are being detached from Hadar, there is now, there's no facial features,

but there's franticness to the movements there's franticness there is rage behind the attacks dexterity saving through and then I will do my concentrate and as a natural triangle oh boy sad I've time to use that on it I'm sad I'm not I'm. I've rolled two sixes and a five so far, so... 17... 18, 19, 20, 21, 20... 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28. Lightning damage. Um, can I...?

Let me make some concentration checks. Ooh. HE SNIFFS First one's a natural 20. Second one is an 18. And then the lightning belch. That's a three. No! That's not enough.

Um, can I put my hand out to the creature beside me and just say, The woman with the bow? Yeah, and just say, you either join us or you go back to him. Give me an intimidation check. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Here we go, mama. I don't want me to.

Anyone can scare a god. Oh, 18 plus six. Is enough. Woo! No! You just watch. And it's not a look of, she's not frightened of you, Ayla. But there's like a, you see, and it's like half face,

because this is like a specter, right? This is almost like you can see their bodies shifting, like they've been, I want to say almost digested, this soul. But the half face that you can see, just a smirk. And a nod, kind of slams her hand into your back. And again, you see the same kind of effect that happened to Lucius. The spirit almost phases into you.

And now from Aayla's back, like this long trail, almost like a dress train, but made of chains. And like almost her hair almost seems to flow even longer than it normally does. Some of it now spectral. As the spirit bonds to you, you hear Siaska, Lucius, Aayla, bring them to me. I think we are nearing the point where we can weaken him. The spirits, the spirits, the essences.

I have enough movement to get back to Siaska. Go for it. I'm going to do it. All right. He will get an attack of opportunity. That's fine. A couple of things happen. I'm going to take my attack of opportunity.

Please, crit. No! Don't crit. No! It's going to be epic. It has rolled two. Be epic. Oh!

No! It is! It is! It is! It is! Be epic! Oh! No! It is! It is! It is! It is! It is! It is!

It is! It is! It is! Holy shit! I've run like three of those in the same session. It took me a second because I was like, oh, two. And then I was like, no, please. There's a zero!

Oh, I got shit. I want to celebrate it. But I don't.! Oh, I got shit, I wanna celebrate it. But I don't. Well, let me work this out. I'm in a whole other dimension. You fuckin' shit. Hey, listen, at least I crit you. If I crit any of these others,

they would be game over. They're perma-dead. Yeah, it'd be game over. Well, I don't know how much his crits do, so. Oh, we'll find out. I did just take 125 damage. You rolled 8d6 against me. Plus the doom. You're going to need to help me.

I'm still too far away. Help us on. Nah, I'm going to chill here. Actually, yeah, everyone's getting really low, actually. I'm getting digested. I'm just going to vibrate out of existence. Yeah. How many doom tokens you got, Aylin?

One. Okay, one, good, that's good. That's good to know. So, that's gonna be... Two, three damage. It's a lot, trust me, it's a lot. What kind of damage is it? I'll tell you in a minute,

because I'm gonna half it, I'm gonna pre-do all the math for you. What a kind DM. Oh, man. This is cool as hell. My heart. Now where is it? It's very big.

You have one? Did you bring it in today? What the fuck? It's in you other genes. When did I last see it? You don't currently have the FNN, it's just resistance to normal. That's not the spirit. That only lasts until the end of your next turn.

No, but the spirit is... The spirit isn't doing it. Not for resistances. But you have normal slashing resistance, don't you? normal slashing resistance, don't you? Yeah. This is, and this is pre-rage resistant. I'm gonna pre-work it out for you. This is gonna be, close. No, this is pre-rage.

He's gonna say the full amount and then he's gonna half the. I've already done the halfing. Oh, right, okay. This is the full amount of damage you're about to take. 121 points of damage. Holy shit. Right. That's hard.

There was 68 slashing damage, half the 34, and then 87 necrotic damage. 60 something. As you run back, the claws rake down your back, almost trying to grab that spirit, pulling it from you. No! Give that back! And then you manage to step forward, and as you reach out, Siaska reaches out a hand.

As it touches you, you watch as that spirit almost pulls itself from you into Siaska, and a burst of light encapsulates and just bursts forth and fills the space. Two things happen. I'm gonna make a concentration check against the Ravenous Void. The DC is basically gonna require me to roll 15 or higher.

Oh, shit. 25%. Five. You watch as that star in the air, as the spirit touches Siaska, the light breaks that magic apart as the divine energy fills into Siaska. You also watch as that light passes over Hedar himself, the red muscle, the mouths,

everything seems to almost ripple in horror and pain for the first time seeing like... As the light kind of passes over, you see a catch a glimpse. Everyone make perception checks for me. Woo! I'm so excited about that. I would very much like to make a perception check.

It wasn't an at 20, but it was kind of. I got an at 20 plus seven, 27. Yes. Ayla's having both a really good and really fucking bad time this round. Hey, that's D&D, 27. Yes. Aayla's having both a really good and really fucking bad time this round. Hey, that's D&D, man. 15, 15? 15.

31. 31, 27. 20. 20. The 27 and the 31. Only, the 27 barely catches this. Quill, you actually see it. There is a moment where inside,

where that chest kind of mouth and the darkness that was in, the light almost seems to create a gap, like a fissure in the darkness. And you see that there is something within Hadar. You see a flash of silvery light, a cage made of bone and teeth and black sinu holding something silver, just gone,

in an instant, fades away. Yeah, okay. So I do see that just? You do just barely, yes. As it kind of ripples back and you see it all recoiling in rage, no, no, enough. Why, why can you not just accept this? You will break everything.

Look at Vala. Look, a year ago, she was nothing but a mortal girl. Now she commands a power that she cannot comprehend. You do not understand what you will do. You do not understand what you will reach, what you will unleash upon the universe. With that, I believe that was Ayla's turn. Anything else on your turn, Ayla?

Ow. That was a fucking turn. That's it. Hadar's turn. Oh, it was my turn. I'm at siesta now, by the way. This little gnome, No! reaches down.

Oh no. And you see that the wounds that you have caused almost seem to heal up but you can see that that figure is kind of consumed but hadar looks incredibly different to that composed entity that you encountered before he's going to turn around and with the with the ravenous void gone, he's going to, first things first, I presume I don't fall. You can fly.

So I'd say you can start flying. Century does fall a little bit. No, you can fly. No, you just can't fly. You can fly. Lucius might fall. You don't know how to fly, do you? Oh no. You are currently in the void, Lucius might fall. You don't have flying, do you? Oh no. You are currently in the void, Lucius.

Not even bullet momentum? He oscillating. Yeah. Can you move me by Siaska? Yes. I'll do it. And the little spirit is with her. Oh, hi.

How you doing? No, I'm by Sias her. Oh, hi. How you doing? No, I'm on spicy Eska, that's fine. He is going to move, it almost stretches his form up. With both hands, one is gonna reach for Quill, one is gonna reach for Sentry, make two attacks. One each? Yeah, one each. Ride or die, bud.

Let's go. Hey, Sentry, 31 to hit. That'll hit. Quill, 29 to hit. Not much. How much you on, bud? I'm on 49. I think you're gonna go down, but we'll see. We might not. I might roll bad.

Reassuring nod followed by, I think you're gonna go down. You're gonna die. I think four of us... I'll do Quill first. Wait, what are you on? You're gone today. I think four of us... Wait, what are you on? You're gone, but... I think four of us are on like... Low. Very low.

Better get Quill up then. I can't. How many Doom tokens you got, boy? Oh, I'm on four now. Four. Oh, shit. Well, you're getting another one. That goes up to five. Oh my god. I'm 100 feet in the air, my guy.

Yeah, you're going to take death saves. Oh, not again. It's the same thing. I've got to stop flying. Oh! It's not a good roll. Oh, God, that's a lot of fours, fives, and sixes. Yeah, you're going. I can't. I don't have any more to heal though.

I don't know, it could be, I don't know. I mean, that's on top of the... Dooms. Yeah, you have got dooms. Oops, sorry. No, that's the dooms on top of the original. Oh yeah, he's out, he's got 49 hit points. Good fives.

Good fives. He just said 49. Plus 73 total damage. Oh! Good vibes. Good vibes? You just said 49. Plus 73 total damage. Oh! That doom token's mounting up as one claw reaches down. If it's all right, I'm just going to use the same damage roll because I don't want to roll all that again.

I'm down. Central. Wait, what HP do you want? 68. Yeah. Does that include the dome? I've got no doom. You have no doom?

I have no doom. I cleared it last turn. In that case, I will roll it completely. I will roll it completely. Yeah, I was gonna say, because if there was a chance of you surviving it. Yeah. What's Lucius' time?

My sunbeam. 15. Plus 15, 10. You guys are not. We're on about the same. Oh, I think this will be okay. Okay. 50 total.

Oh, close. Very close. 50 total. That was a good point, because the Doom, there was five extra D6 from the Doom there. That made a big difference. So yeah, 50 points of damage.

Just one claw. Rakes Quill, sending him plummeting to the ground. The next one, Sentry Quill. Unfortunately, that is gonna be one auto death save fail. It is. Plummet. It is. Yeah, bum on the ground. Hey, I'm all right with that.

What, within stomping distance? I've been within stomping distance for a while. As a bonus action, I will use his tendrils of doom. I need all of you to make a charisma or constitution saving throw, even if you are unconscious, please. What if you're in another dimension?

Yes, still, yeah, yeah, yeah. You are technically still within the reach of his domain. Con or charisma? So I'm making this as well? Yes, please. How far is sentry? 26, 27, 28, 29 with sentry. You're on the ground by 20 feet in the air,

so you get plus 30. Oh, okay. So 23. All right. Lord, 17. 22 or higher is a success, so anybody who gets under a 17. Oh, my God.

I got 28, too. Oh, twins! All right, so pretty much everybody but Lucius succeeded. Everybody who's... Even if you succeeded, everybody gains one additional Doom token. Oh, God. Lucius, you would take two doom tokens

and then some necrotic damage. How many doom tokens do you currently have? Seven. Oh my God. What? Did you not get a moat? When? He's not got a moat.

Wait, what? He touched the spirit though. He touched the spirit. Spirits don't cleanse it, the moats do. So is that only sentryry has picked up a mote? Nope. Aya has as well. At the start. That was the first one. You were the first one. Yeah, I was trying to figure out who.

That would be 12 necrotic damage as well. I rolled pretty bad. 12 with the doom? That's just, that's all the doom damage. Sick. Yeah. You basically take doom damage depending on how many you have. So you gain two and then you take a bunch of doom.

So those tendrils kind of lash out and he just looks around seeing Quill down, seeing Sentry heavily injured, Aayla heavily injured. He's just like, yes, now is the time. Now I just need to get rid of them. And he looks towards Vala and Siaska. Yeah, his balls. Oh, the balls are back again.

If I take this hit. How does he split his balls so far apart? Well, like this, bro. Remember, there's time. For podcast business. As they come down. Two conjures, two of these glowing red orbs that begin slowly making their way towards Valorant Siaska. That is Hadar's turn.

I think we are going to have to take a break there. I think we have to, right? We have to. Think again. That is going to be the end of part one. Join us in part two as we... This fight is close, but there is still a lot to happen. Join us in part two.

See you then. Bye. Bye.
