Starting point is 00:00:00 Pickaxe. crispy jalapenos, and a super tasty sweet and spicy sauce. You'll wish this spectacle of flavor never ended. Try the new Firecracker McCrispy today at participating McDonald's restaurants. Need a great reason to get up in the morning? Well, what about two? Right now, get a small organic fair trade coffee and a tasty bacon and egg or breakfast sandwich for only $5 at A&W's in Ontario. the dropship glides through the fresh spring air before coming to a not so gentle stop uh on the southern edge or southeasterly edge of this mysterious island this uncharted island in the tropical sea between giselle and uh mirsky uh you can almost see i would say from this point the glint of the city of glass on giselle's northern continent you can just see a faint glint in the
Starting point is 00:01:48 sun's light uh far far to the south but as the the drop ship semi sinks into the mud the soft earth that has been piled up on this island um with a kind of wet squelch. And you all emerge from it. And if you go on roll 20, there is a map. And you can immediately see a large pond with sort of wooden structures, some sort of stone. Oh, I've not moved you. That's my fault. There we go.
Starting point is 00:02:19 And you might want to scroll and zoom out a little bit, Chris Trott. I've also given you, Chris Trott, a control of a camera icon. Oh, my God. If you might want to scroll all the way down. Yes. Okay. There you are.
Starting point is 00:02:34 So, yeah, you can see it's quite extensive. There are these kind of long pools all over the place. Seems to be some sort of stone pond in the middle of this uh swampy puddle um and yeah this risen up stone temple in the very middle with a couple of other buildings and you also see that it is populated that this island does have creatures on it because as you land you can see in the temple, the stone temple, and a couple of them further behind. A group of frogmen. They stand on two legs. They wear rough spun tunics
Starting point is 00:03:12 made of kind of thick mossy-like hides and cloth, almost looks like sail cloth that's been cut and tied. They're about the size of people. They're not tiny frogs. They are like full frogs they're about as tall as some of you, maybe a little bit shorter and they have crude looking
Starting point is 00:03:33 weapons and they are looking very puzzled in your direction but they don't appear to be taking any sort of aggressive stance just yet just kind of looking more curiously. What on earth? What on earth are those creatures? They have weapons, so they're intelligent.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Do you think they speak? Common. The common. Common is a language, yes. Let's try the age-old putting our hands up in a... A couple more of them kind of emerge from the side of a building, kind of stick their thick, green, kind of slimy heads around, their bug eyes kind of...
Starting point is 00:04:19 As they kind of look around. Let's try and look as non-threatening as we can, everybody. One of them... One of them moves up to the edge of the water and is kind of moving towards the bridge and is looking your way. And yeah, you hear it just call out like, Who are you?
Starting point is 00:04:46 What are you? Hello. Where have you come from? An airship. We came from an airship. It kind of turns around, hops up the sloped hill, and calls to... You can see in the back of turns around, hops up the sloped hill and calls to, you can see in the back of this temple,
Starting point is 00:05:09 kind of in the distance, you can see sat in a large pond, a very overweight, almost covered in boils and scars, a very overweight looking frog man, clutching something kind of like a long spear but it's all covered in in like a cloth and a fabric like it's been tied up um and you just hear it kind of it's a big kind of like cheeky bit kind of expands as it lets out this loud croak um
Starting point is 00:05:40 bring them to see gloom ships do not go on the air they go on the water bring them to sea, Gloobor. Ships do not go on the air. They go on the water. Bring them to sea, Gloobor. Very good, very good, Lord Gloobor. And it bounces over. You are to come and speak with Lord Gloobor. Cut! Bring no weapons, oh we will get you
Starting point is 00:06:09 very well come on everybody um well we're not going to leave our weapons now we're going to just not have them out that's. You see it kind of turn its head back into the temple. The big fat one is like, they pose no threat to us. We pose no threat to them. Perfect. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:38 We'll sludge through, I guess. So on the map, those of you that can see the map, anywhere that's kind of brown and shaded is this bog-like mud and it's like a proper your feet kind of sink in and you have to really like uh pull them free so it counts as difficult terrain in terms of like any movement so it does take you a little bit of time for me not me. Not for Ayla, I know.
Starting point is 00:07:07 But anybody who is affected by default terrain, you really have to kind of like, it takes twice as long to make your way out of this thick mud. The water looks blackish with kind of tinges of green algae floating around in it. It's very swamp-like, this area. A couple of the frogmen begin hopping their way over. So you guys just approach.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yeah, just slowly trudging our way through. Lucius is tutting. It's just going to take so long to rinse off. It really will. It really, really will. Did you ever do your own laundry? That's not the point.
Starting point is 00:07:52 As you begin making your way over the bridge, you see that behind the temple, there is two more large ponds and pools in which sit two giant frogs. They are enormous, the size of bison and they're just kind of sat in the pool um just kind of looking around snatching at a few flies
Starting point is 00:08:13 but yeah they're looking around the two that you meet um at the end of the bridge these two frog men they appear to be wearing like hide armor kind of thickened leather tattered covered in scraps of all sorts of things really bark and tree mixed in with a little bit of metal that seems to have been sort of bent and fused to it by some sort of glue they carry wooden shields ramshackle as they are and they have uh crude spears um but they kind of just march uh with you, leading you to a small wooden gangway that leads up this kind of sloped gravelly hill into the larger temple. They just kind of shuffle,
Starting point is 00:08:55 they kind of just gesture up and remain where they are. You will go and see Lord Gloomor. Very well. Straight visitors from the Owl. You should be honoured to be in Lord Gloomor. Very well. Straight visitors from the out. You should be honoured from the end Lord Gloomor's presence. Oh, good. As we're walking along, can I messenger
Starting point is 00:09:13 ring Nova and just ask, like, is there any update on the shard? Is it near here? Please don't tell me he has it. Oh, 100%. It's the thing he's holding in his hands. You can sense it coming from it. It's wrapped up so you can't see the Tiangong shard, but it looks to be
Starting point is 00:09:30 about the size and shape of a spear. And Tiangong will tell you. Shard. Okay. I'm just... I'll tell you at the end of the episode. I'm just, yeah, messengering. I'll just kind of... Oh.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Hurry. Do not keep Lord Gloom waiting. Oh, yes, absolutely, yeah. See a few more of the frogmen begin just kind of making their way round, curious as to these shenanigans. When you get into the main temple, you can see it's overgrown with thick foliage, mushrooms, all sorts of vegetables have been grown here. There is a crude shrine carved to resemble a giant toad that these frogmen appear to be worshipping. And one in particular is holding up a long spear-like object and is holding it up to this
Starting point is 00:10:35 toad god that they appear to be worshipping. In the back of the room, you can see that there is a pile of gold, some sacks, a worn-looking treasure chest that looks waterlogged, covered in a few barnacles and things like that, and sat in this large pool like a sauna is just this fat frogman. So, visitors from the air, why have you come to the Drifting Isle? You have entered Lord Gloobar's realm. I'm looking around at who's gonna be the most diplomatic here.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Can you speak my language, air people? Or are you too primitive to understand language? Um... Uh... Or are you too primitive to understand language? We heard great tales of the magnificent Lord Gloobort, and we thought you would come to make tribute. Very well.
Starting point is 00:12:07 What tribute have you brought one gloom or do a Oh. Why do you waste Lord Gloom more time? Where is my gift? I have a wondrous item that can conjure monsters and animals as if by magic from the very air. And then I'll... Your kind is so primitive, you do not understand magic. Likely a small trick. Perhaps if you are lucky, if you entertain Lord Glooball, I shall show you my magic.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Okay, I'll take out the pipe of smoke monsters that I've never used before and had since 2017 and start conjuring, I guess, little frog creatures that look like them. And then, yeah, let me just double check if I can... Can I get them? A single creature.
Starting point is 00:13:04 So I can summon a Frogamoth? What the hell is a Frogamoth? But yeah, sure. Frog. Giant frog. Giant smoke frog. One foot smoke frog. Are you summoning the Frogamoth or a giant frog?
Starting point is 00:13:19 Whatever looks closest to King, Lord... Probably... I mean, you don't know what a frogamoth is, so I guess you would just make a giant frog. So yeah, you summon a giant frog, and he kind of looks at it, he's just like,
Starting point is 00:13:35 a most amusing trick. This is a petty trick, but your tribute is sufficient. Attendant! And he kind of waves a big floppy finned hand in your direction, and a smaller frogman
Starting point is 00:13:52 kind of hops and hops over to you like I will take this full old gloom off his little hands. I'll take it off the pipe, sure. Very good, and he kind of takes it and hops back and hands it to lord glooball who kind of examines it and then throws it behind him into his treasure pile oh my god well we have brought the most thing. Is that all you wish for? It's a land of berries. What else?
Starting point is 00:14:39 Why have you, is this all? You have come to offer me this pipe of smoke monster? We heard that you have a magnificent weapon demonstration of its powers I don't know something like that yeah make a deception check for me. Deception check. I have a plus five on that. Eighteen plus five. Eighteen, nineteen, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three. It is true. It seems the tales of Lord Gloomore have traveled far and wide. I command the most mighty weapon recovered from under the sea.
Starting point is 00:15:22 But it is not for just anyone to see it perhaps you should stay as guests and if you are honored by our lord Krokatoa then then perhaps you will be allowed to see my weapon and all the little frogmen that have been gathered
Starting point is 00:15:42 outside when he says the words Krokatoa they all go crocotoa is that who the statue is of up there yes a global metal woman is very perceptive it is indeed lord crocotoa that you see it wasn't oh it's very magnificent. You are wise. You are wise to worship Lord Crocoteur. He is very powerful.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I only hope one day for us to truly be honoured by Crocoteur. Well, if you remain for our dinner, perhaps you will be honoured by him. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay as guests. Sit upon my floor and I shall have one of my people perform for you as you await for dinner. Ayla's just going to say in the earring i literally cannot stop staring at the wall right now because if i look at any of them i will burst out laughing and or
Starting point is 00:16:56 make fun of them heavily so i'm just gonna stare at the wall and try not to move it's also uh it stinks this whole island just reeks of rot and just swampy gas it smells like farts everywhere um it's a very stinky place and it's very putrid the floor is covered in like mud and muck, Lucius. So if you do go to sit down, it's very difficult to find anywhere where it's not going to completely cover your trousers. I spent a long time kind of like a cat trying to find the best part of the floor, just rotating around.
Starting point is 00:17:40 No, no. Okay. Here. Squelch. Sure. Yeah sure yeah you find a seat the uh frogmen outside begin to kind of um kind of bring down and you see them one of them fetches and starts bringing these very strange ripe uh purple and green fruits that grow on the trees here. They're all misshapen. They have lumps in weird places. But as you all begin to take your seats,
Starting point is 00:18:10 you can position yourselves in the temple, wherever you would like. The frog attendant who took the pipe hurries to the front of you all, wherever you sit, and will begin a performance once you have all taken your seats. Um,
Starting point is 00:18:26 another one of the frogs, uh, makes his way up and begins bringing around these, like, carved pieces of fruit. Um, and it smells very sweet.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Very, very saccharine sweet, um, as you do so. Mmm. Where's everyone sitting? Who wants to sit next to, next to Lord Gloobor? So Nova goes and sits sort of just below Lord Gloobor?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Yeah. Somewhere like that. Yeah. Is this some sort of mat? Straw mat or something? I mean, you're not quite sure what it's made from. It is the closest thing to a cloth, you're not quite sure what it's made from. It is the closest thing to a cloth, you can see.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Maybe like tree fibers or like straw that's been woven together, but it is still just as filthy. It's covered in sort of like froggy mud prints everywhere. The fruit is kind of offered to you all as the little attendant frog
Starting point is 00:19:23 begins kind of singing, but it's like a chirping, like frogs in a swamp all kind of singing together. This kind of mesmerizing chirp begins to kind of echo from its voice. Can you all make a wisdom save for me, please? Oh. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:19:39 You will close by. One, two. Plus nine, I got twelve. You should get plus three, too. Oh, yeah. I think everybody but Ayla does. Yeah, so Ayla doesn't get a bonus. 10 feet, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:59 So Katie's really happy about that. Great. What'd you get? I got a 15. Okay, 15. It's you get? I got a 15. Okay, 15. It's alright. So, totals. 13 for Sentry. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:11 13 for me too. 13 for Lucius. 15 for me. Nova. 10. Nova's making a 10. Okay. And then Ayla, 15 as well. So, Sentry, Luciusus and nova um you just feel really relaxed like yeah this song's really cool and it's nice i just feel really just you just feel
Starting point is 00:20:35 really chilled out here like this song is so relaxing and just really just feels nice this is um the song itself doing this not the yeah it's the no it's the song itself doing this, not the fruit. Yeah, no, it's the song itself. The fruit is offered to you, and you hear Lua Gloob like, this cocktail of fruit from our island. It is very delicious. Thank you. So generous. I'll hold my hands out for it.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah, they give it to you, a slice, a slice of this very sweet-smelling fruit. You know what? I'm warming to this place. I dip my hand into it and pull out some of that juicy slurp. Yep. Shove it in. Sure.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Anybody else eating it? Just Lucius? I shall eat some. Okay, Century, it's it. Century, you don't need to eat, do you? But you're gonna just like partake in it, Just Lucius? I shall eat stuff. Okay, Sentry eats it. Sentry, you don't need to eat, do you? But you're going to just partake in it. It's polite, you know? I'll think about how that affects you in a minute. Anyone else?
Starting point is 00:21:35 That's what I mean. Yeah, Nova's a polite girl. I'm very relaxed. Are me and Ayla hearing a totally different song? No, it's the same song, but it's just to you. It's like a very soothing, almost like a totally different song no it's the same song but it just yeah it's just to you it's like a very soothing almost like a cicada jungle noise like something you might put on like in the background when you're trying to fall asleep
Starting point is 00:21:52 I thought they were hearing like a siren song and we were just hearing it's like a kind of chirping like a continuous chirping coming from this frog but it sounds like cicadas in like the, or like, you know, it sounds quite nice. It's relaxing.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But it doesn't have as much of a pronounced effect on you as it does clearly on them. Yeah, Nova, you eat some as well. Ayla, Quill, gonna eat the fruit? No. I think she's still looking at, she's trying not to make eye contact
Starting point is 00:22:27 with any frog because she will just burst out laughing in their face anybody who's eaten the very strange mysterious frog fruit, can you please make a intelligence saving throw with disadvantage please oh no
Starting point is 00:22:42 the song's chilling you out. Oh! Oh! I definitely passed. Oh, shit. 16 was my lowest. 16 was your lowest, okay. Nova?
Starting point is 00:23:03 Three was my lowest, so five. All right. Okay. Five. Century and Nova. Man, colors are getting really bright. Like, everything seems really, really vibrant. And this song is just so relaxing.
Starting point is 00:23:19 And, man, wait, hang on. Is that? These frogs, like, their skin skins shifting and dancing, man. Like, it's... You are tripping pretty hard on these... Yeah. Lucius. You look like the universe.
Starting point is 00:23:38 You're so pretty. Wait, who's the universe? I don't think I've met him. Now that you have partaken in our island's fruits and you have enjoyed the song of my people, now it is time to see if you are worthy of being honored by Krakatoa.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Krakatoa, Krakatoa, Krakatoa. Krakatoa. Krakatoa, man, yeah! Krakatoa! Very well. We must go down to his sacred pod. Come, bring our guests. And all the frogs begin making their way.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Isn't this place just fantastic? Sure, I thought the murder... Isn't this place just fantastic? Sure. And even Lord Gloobor pulls himself from the pond and is kind of ushering you guys all forwards down towards the pond. Let's go, Sentry, Nova, come on. I can see every colour in the existence of the world. I just wonder with the primes
Starting point is 00:24:47 like you know so much sometimes and it's there's a lot happening right now like oh man what
Starting point is 00:24:56 Lord Gloobor I keep forgetting his name Lord Gloobor I keep forgetting his name Lord Gloobor gestures towards Nova You are the one who will succeed Lord Gloobor's mighty weapon You must step forward Come, stand before the great Krokotoa Krokotoa, Krokotoa, Krokotoa
Starting point is 00:25:17 Stand before his palm Dude Are these my knees? Nova, he's pointing at Nova What are my feet? Are these my knees? Nova, he's pointing at Nova. Where are my feet? Are these my feet? Go on, Nova, go. Don't disrespect.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Where am I going? He kind of takes your hand, this slimy wet hand, pulls you over towards the pond. And then Lord Gloobor raises his, you know, wrapped up staff to the air. Oh, Lord Kokotawa, this one wishes to be blessed by your presence
Starting point is 00:25:50 to see if they are worthy of witnessing Lord Gloobor's mightiest weapon. They have imbibed the sacred fruits. They have listened to our frog song. Now we await your appearance. Sentry, you don't need to put your hands up. We await your appearance. Sentry, you don't need to put your hands up. Those of you who are not completely out of your minds,
Starting point is 00:26:13 Lucius, you still feel very relaxed and chilled out, but you are not as hallucinogenic as the other two. The waters on the stone pool begin to shift and you begin to see something bubbling and emerging from under the surface and in a giant spray of water a enormous creature
Starting point is 00:26:36 appears it is perhaps 15 foot tall with four tentacles and a long rolling ton and three ice stalks on the top of its head with a giant gaping mouth. You have summoned Crocotele, a worthy sacrifice. And we are going to roll initiative.
Starting point is 00:27:01 No! No! No, I did not consent to this. to roll initiative. No! No! No! I did not consent to this! The frogmen of the Drifting Isle have a sacrifice and they are hungry. Nom nom nom nom. I did not consent!
Starting point is 00:27:19 So is this a frogamoth? This is indeed a frogamoth. Yes. So what would have happened if I'd summoned a frogamoth. Yes. Oh my god. So what would have happened if I'd summoned a Frogamoth from the place? They might have thought
Starting point is 00:27:29 that it was Lord Crocotele. Lucius, total initiative, please. I got a six... 22, sorry. 22. Quillacad, come on. Sentry and Nova, you have disadvantage on the initiative.
Starting point is 00:27:42 You basically count as poisoned. So you have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. What if I... What if I'm resistant to poison? Are you resistant or immune? Resistant to poison. Then I will say...
Starting point is 00:27:59 Go on. Oh, no, no. It's just... It says magical creations. Oh, it's because it's me. I'm a magical creation, never mind. I'd say maybe you can make a, on your turn, at the start of your turn, make another saving throw against the effect. I'm the magical creation, never mind. It does make sense that you would be less affected by this than other beings, but make another saving throw on the start of your turn. Oh, you play one?
Starting point is 00:28:22 All creations, like me? Quilek. Ooh! Nine. Nine. Nine. Aayla? Twenty. Twenty. Sentry? That's a ten. Nova?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Fifteen. Okay. Well, Lucius, you react first. You see this giant thing like emerge and one of its giant tongue is reaching out towards nova who's looking up at it um nope nope nope none of this i'm going to wall of ice and just create a wall around this frogamoth. Okay. Well, you can make... How tall is the wall? 10 feet high.
Starting point is 00:29:10 This thing is 15 feet tall. Yep. It is a huge creature. So you can still do it, but it will be able to reach over. Can I create a wall that's twice as high and not as wide? Well, what does the spell
Starting point is 00:29:26 say? What does the spell say you can do? I'll make a... That's up to 10 feet. If it's the same as Wall of Light, it's 60 foot long, 10 feet high, 5 foot thick. Thick, yeah. And you can choose any orientation.
Starting point is 00:29:43 It's just whether you can stack them on top of each other. It doesn't really specify. I'll keep it as is. So I'm just going to create a hindrance for it. Sure, just draw it on the map as you want to. And then take your move and bonus action as you desire. Very well.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Meanwhile, I'm going to do the next couple of things, the next thing to go. This thing's movement speed is 30 feet, so... Yep, hops here. And picks a man up. Any movement or bonus action, Lucius? I'm going to move closer towards Nova, but I'm making this thing right now, so...
Starting point is 00:30:21 Sure, okay, but you're going to move closer to Nova. Ayla, you're next up, and then the next one of you to go will be Nova after a lot of monsters. I will rage, and then get to hitting,
Starting point is 00:30:41 I think, because, you know, this isn't going to go well. I think I'm just going to hit the dude that's right next to me. think, because you know, this isn't going to go well. I think I'm just going to hit the dude that's right next to me. Yeah, so you see all of these little frogmen that had been chanting Krokotoa, they're all pulling out things like stone knives and stone axes from beneath these kind of
Starting point is 00:30:58 flappy, leathery tunics that they were wielding, like little murderous cultists. They're like, So I'll hit that boy next to me then. So first one is an 18 to hit. Yep, that hits him. Solid crack of the hammer. And the second one is a 23.
Starting point is 00:31:23 That will also hit. Excellent. So. 11 on the first hammer swing. Okay. He dies. Okay. You hit this tiny frog man.
Starting point is 00:31:42 This tiny frog man, you hit him with an upswing of the hammer He flies through the air, his little neck Broken as he lands amongst The rocks and dies Can I redirect my second swing? You will have to make another attack roll, but yes you can So do you want to move to like it?
Starting point is 00:32:00 Actually no, it would be the same Yeah, you move to that guy And then, what was it? the same to that yeah dude yep yep you move to that guy and then what was it seven eight nine nine eleven thirteen damage smash him against the wall wham plus a zap bam i mean the zap like yeah i mean i don't think anything's in range for you but yeah like these things just crumple under the hammer blow and you see Lord Gloobor like kill them quickly they are stronger than we thought I think Aayla is yeah
Starting point is 00:32:36 before she started attacking she probably finally let out a little bit of a laugh because they're so ridiculous it's like ha ha ha ha frogmen you're so ridiculous. It's like, frog men. You're so dumb. Two of the Bollywoods are dead. The others will run away from Ayla in terrified horror.
Starting point is 00:33:00 And instead, they will gang up on Nova and Lucius. So Nova and Lucius, they make two attacks each, two of them on each individual one of you. So Nova tries to stab you with its little stone knife. That is going to be a 14 to hit. No. Nope.
Starting point is 00:33:19 And then it tries to bite you, which is a 18 to hit. No. No? No. No? No. Is your AC 19 now? A 19 AC. Oh, because you got your shield, didn't you? Yeah, I keep forgetting you've got your new shield now. That's why you're a tight title champion. So,
Starting point is 00:33:35 and then it tries to bite you, like wrap its giant froggy mouth around you, and you're just like, kind of shrugging them off. I'd like to think that Nova's so stoned at the moment. She's kind of shrugging them off i'd like to think that nobody's so stoned at the moment she's she's kind of just swaying around and as she's swaying that's how they miss her she's just like yeah okay well while you're doing that the other one that was attacking you was a 21 and then a 20 to hit yeah so these ones do actually strike. So you take
Starting point is 00:34:05 whopping two points of piercing damage from the little stone knife and then four points of damage as he wraps his big mouth around you and is biting you. You can feel that there are teeth. There are like sharp teeth.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Dude, that's gross. 19 to hit. Yeah. Natural 20 to hit you, Lucius, on the stone knife. Oh, for God's sake. Every time, Lucius. Seven points of damage as it stabs you in the arm. Hey, ow.
Starting point is 00:34:39 And then one of them bites you as well for six points of damage as it wraps its big mouth around one of your hands. Gross. 14 to hit Lucius. Yep. And then a... No, that's like a seven to hit Lucius. So you take another two points of piercing damage
Starting point is 00:34:58 as the other one shivs you. Get off! Stop it! Krokatoa! Krokatoa! Krokatoa! Krokatoa krokatoa krokatoa krokatoa my butt no your turn i don't know what to do i'm afraid
Starting point is 00:35:14 would nova know what to do if she's tripping balls oh well i mean like does kim know what to do like i look i once smoked the reefer when I was at university and I very much did not know what to do then
Starting point is 00:35:30 so I you know yeah I don't think it was all a trap get her get that arrest her
Starting point is 00:35:39 right damn it no do you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do something I I'm going to do something... I think I'm going to do something that is, I think, in keeping with what Nova would be thinking right now,
Starting point is 00:35:52 given that she's tripping out of her tiny brain. I'm going to turn into a gaseous cloud. Okay, sure. Nova's just going to be looking at all the pretty colors and this little frog that's gumming on her arm. And she's like, this is way too much, dude. I want to be one with the universe. You turn into like a nebula cloud.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Yeah, you just see. It's almost like you see her hair just spin and turn and her hair almost becomes her whole body And then yeah, she's just a beautiful sparkly cloud Yeah, I'm a gas now. I'm a gas. I'm a gas. Okay All right, well Nova turns into gas and just floats away. Yeah Yeah, 10-foot. I believe you can't do anything while you're in gaseous form as well. Like you can't attack or call spells You're just a gas no yeah i'm just like over it i can move you can move yeah so move yourself as you wish
Starting point is 00:36:51 um and you can move through creatures and stuff float away um can you still be attacked as a gaseous form um i think i have a uh, target can enter and occupy the space with another creature. Resistance to non-magical damage, advantage on strength decks and con saving throws, I can pass through spaces, blah blah blah. Perfect. Right, the two, um, as you were, as this all kicked off, two giant frogs that you saw behind the temple have bounded their way, behind the temple, have bounded their way, and the two more warrior-looking frogmen have clambered up and mounted them, riding on top of them, and they hop to try and strike at Aayla
Starting point is 00:37:32 and probably Quillek, I think. In fact, they've actually got reach, so they're going to stay a little bit back. I would like to protect the quill, please. Protect the quill, absolutely. Protect the quill, absolutely. As they do so, I've moved you by accident. They're sentries. Laters!
Starting point is 00:37:52 Yeah, they just kind of hop and land where they need to, and then they... and try and strike at you twice with their spears. These long spears. They've got particularly long-looking, brutal spears. So Aayla, this is against you. That is going to be a 18 to hit.
Starting point is 00:38:12 No. And then that is going to be a 10 to hit. So both of them, they kind of just parry away. The next one actually won't. It will only make one attack against Quill with disadvantage. It's a natural one. So essentially you manage to kind of deflect and
Starting point is 00:38:28 protect Quill as they're fighting. But for its second attack, instead it bellows this loud croak, this loud and you see all of the other Bollywugs, all the other frogmen begin getting really hyped up as this croak kind of echoes out around them. They kind of are like
Starting point is 00:38:44 yes! And they just begin chanting the name. waked up as this croak kind of echoes out around them. They kind of are like, ah, yes, Fagrogatala, Fagrogatala! And they just begin sort of chanting the name as they do so. Sentry, what would you like to do? Do I make a save? A save for first?
Starting point is 00:38:57 Yeah, make a save at the start of your turn against this weird hallucinogen. 17? Yeah, you pass. You kind of manage to kind of come to your senses a bit more. Cool. I would like to move here
Starting point is 00:39:12 and give the smackdown to this frog dude in front of me. See if we play? When you move, actually, Century, the one with the spear does manage to get a strike on you because it has reach, so you are still within its threatened area. That is going to be a 24 to hit. Yeah, that does.
Starting point is 00:39:30 It do be like that though. And that's going to be 14, 17 piercing damage and can you make a strength save please? Okay, there's the bad one. There they are. Seven. Six plus seven. 12, 13... 13 is just enough. It nearly knocks you to the ground, yeah, 16. It nearly knocks you to the ground, but you manage to kind of pull yourself up and continue going as it strikes you as you move.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Crikey. Alrighty, these boys are no joke. Okay, let's get this boy. 19 plus 9 to hit. Is this on this one next to you? Just one of these regular frogmen? Yeah, you hit him. Easy. Cool beans.
Starting point is 00:40:12 I'm going to do my level 1 Divine Smite, so that'll be 4d8. Level 1? Oh, yeah, because you're including your normal damage. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. That's all right. 48 total. So, yeah, yeah. Sorry. That's all right.
Starting point is 00:40:25 48 total. So 17 total. I mean, he's dead. It's just annihilating. This little frog man is just skewered by Her Majesty's rose. Can I target the one next to Luthor as well? Yeah, yeah. You can strike the next one.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Awesome. Again, 19 plus 9. Yeah, yeah, you can strike the next one. Awesome. Again, 19 plus 9. Yeah, sure. Another level 1. Make sure you mark off the spell slots. I will do. That is 20 damage. This radiant light bursts out of Century's blade
Starting point is 00:41:00 as it just pierces into these frogs' chests, stumbling, sending them stumbling back. Like Aayla, you just annihilate them in one hit as they just pierces into these frogs' chests, stumbling, sending them stumbling back. Like Aayla, you just annihilate them in one hit as they just... as they stagger backwards. Anything else, Sentry? That isn't good. No, I'm good, thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Okay. Krokotoa, the large, big frogamoth creature. It will... Let's see here. Okay, it doesn't have standing jump. Big frog a moth creature it will See here, okay, it doesn't have standing jump So he will go Five ten fifteen Begins trying to make his way around the wall of ice.
Starting point is 00:41:47 You can see this giant creature towers over it, but he slowly makes his way, swimming through the fetid water, and then will lash out twice with these two large tentacle arms, and then its giant tongue will also try and snap, probably Lucius. Sentry, one of the tentacles against you. Quill, one of the tentacles against you. And then the tongue towards Lucius. Sentry, one of the tentacles against you. Quill, one of the tentacles against you.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And then the tongue towards Lucius. Sentry, that is a 28 to hit. Yeah. So it's going to be 16. Oh my god, 3d8
Starting point is 00:42:22 and I just rolled 3d8. 24. 30 points of bludgeoning damage and you are grappled as this giant tentacle smack and then wraps around you um as it does so um quill that's a natural one uh so you just leap to the side as this giant tentacle comes smashing down next to you. And then Lucius, the tongue. Can you make a strength saving throw? Sure. Happening to Lucius.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Plus three. Five. Sorry, eight total. So the tongue wraps around you, the sticky, slimy, mucousy tongue, and pulls you into its mouth. And it's going to make a bite attack against you. Jesus. Yep.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And then it tries to bite you. That's a 22. Yeah. Oh, crap. I mean, these guys had a shot of Chengong. You didn't think it was going to be that easy a fight, did you? 7, 11. That's 17 piercing damage and
Starting point is 00:43:27 you are swallowed lucius as this thing and just pulls you and you are just feel yourself completely constricted into this creature's belly uh okay uh you are you are blinded and restrained so remember that because you're blinded you don't get dichomancy, because you need to be able to see colour in order to use Dyncromancy. And you are restrained, yeah. But you do have total cover against attacks and other effects outside the program. Hey!
Starting point is 00:43:56 And you just hear this, just like, one meal, more to go. Can we all, like, get inside of him and operate him like a tank? Just like that. Putting on guts and stuff. Have him forever. Based on how much damage I just saw that do
Starting point is 00:44:15 to Sentry, and now Lucius is inside the damn thing, I think I might do a level 6 Guiding Bolt. Oops, I just ported it. I just ported that. I saw. Natural 20.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I did see that you had the natural 20 with the portent, yes. Nice. So 4d6 at level 1. That's 5, 6, 7, 8, 9d6 max. Yep. Which is how much? 54 damage. Yep. And then I roll another much? 54 damage. Yep.
Starting point is 00:44:45 And then I roll another 96. You do. Which is 25 on top of that, so 79 damage. 79 points of damage. Holy crap.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Yep, that's right. And the next attack has advantage, right? And the next attack has advantage for Guiding Bolt. And you spend that portent. The Guiding Bolt, this surge of radiant light, strikes the creature dead in the gut. It's going to make a con save to see if it regurgitates
Starting point is 00:45:20 Lucius. Throw me up. 20. Oh, 19. Yeah, as it hits it in the chest, you just hear it kind of... And Lucius comes flying out of the mouth. You are...
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yeah, you land prone in a space within 10 feet of the Frogamoth, so you land prone there, Luci within 10 feet of the frogamoth so you land prone there lucius as you are thrown forward and land on the ground covered in sticky mucus um you see this thing its beady eyes just lock onto quill with absolute fury um yeah and lord glueor next to him. You have dared! You have dared to harm the great crocodile! You must die! And
Starting point is 00:46:13 he is gonna summon his own spell. Oh! There it is! No! I want my gas! He will...
Starting point is 00:46:32 He's actually going to back up into the water next to Krokotoa and then do this so he can hit all of you, basically. Well, actually, no. He either has to hit Ayla or... Oh, no, he still can't hit Slewis there. He will, however, hit all of his allies when he does this. The anger.
Starting point is 00:46:48 But he opens up his mouth and a glob jewel of... And actually, he's going to cast Insect Plague. He opens up his mouth and thousands of buzzing, horrible flies just stream out and surround the entire area. The whole area is lightly obscured. It counts as difficult terrain, and I need
Starting point is 00:47:13 everybody to make a constitution saving throw. What category would this spell come up? Is it a spell, even? It is a spell. Would it be fire, acid, lightning, poison, cold, thunder force, anything like that?
Starting point is 00:47:29 No, it does not do any elemental damage. Is it a... 22. No. 22 from Ayla. Sentry, save. That was a... Columns, 10.
Starting point is 00:47:45 10, fail. Fail. So Agla passes. Sentry fails. Quill, I saw that was a 2, was that? So that's a fail. Nova, you still make the save, but you will have resistance. Yeah, I get advantage, and I rolled a 16, so 19 in total from me. 19, so you succeed as well. Lucius?
Starting point is 00:48:06 I'm going to counterspell this. Are you going to counterspell? What level are you going to counterspell at? Do try and say that before people make their saving throws. You count at level 4, I need you to roll a d20 and add your charisma modifier. Very well. 20.
Starting point is 00:48:25 That successfully counters the spell. So as it starts bellowing these flies, Lucius just gathers a swirl of orange and blue light and it just kind of rips the spell apart from it being cast. Yeah, you successfully countered that. And then I go back just sobbing. This is impossible the power of
Starting point is 00:48:46 Tokatawa cannot be denied and then it's Lucius your turn I'm gonna forego this entire action as the realization of being swallowed
Starting point is 00:48:59 and thrown up again and covered in phlegm froggy phlegm is just too overwhelming for one turn okay sure so you're just like i just sat there dripping with goo yeah okay sure uh the in fact actually will their mounts will bound
Starting point is 00:49:30 forward uh and the giant frog mounts will try to bite ayla and quill ayla that is a 20 to hit you quill god i cannot hit quill to save my life. Eleven to hit. Nice. No. Nice. God, that con save I was hoping I'd finally get you some damage back but nope. Seven points of piercing damage, Ayla, so you half that to three and you are... Oh, you are
Starting point is 00:49:58 grappled. So it kind of wraps its mouth around you which means you are restrained. No! You'll go. Whilst you are restrained, you do have disadvantage on attack rolls, and it is an action to break free.
Starting point is 00:50:19 I guess I'll break free. Or you can just attack it with disadvantage. Okay. Well, okay. That's a point. Actually, no, you've got the thing of free movement, right? You can't be restrained. Oh, yeah. Yes! So, okay, so he tries to wrap its mouth around you
Starting point is 00:50:36 and you just pull yourself free. I can't be restrained. There you go. Ha ha ha! So, I hate it twice, please. Sure. Are you going for the giant frog mount or the rider? Can I go for the
Starting point is 00:50:53 rider, please? Sure. Wow, rider! That's a natural 20. That's going to be a hit then, isn't it? Sure. So, let's work out the damage So It's going to be
Starting point is 00:51:14 10 11 16 19 because I'm raging So 19 base damage Yep and then add another dice. And then add another dice for Brutal Critical. Yep.
Starting point is 00:51:30 So... 15 more for the next dice roll. You don't add the modifier. Sorry, so 6. Sorry, 6 and then... 19 plus 6, 25 and then another seven. So 32 points of damage.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Yeah. One colossal blow against this rider. You kind of have to reach up to smack him on top of this giant frog. The wooden shield he's holding cracks in half, and he's left holding just half of this wooden shield as this blow ricochets through his body. Still alive, this frogman, but looks very badly hurt.
Starting point is 00:52:11 But can you make a save, a dex save, against my zep? That is 13. Nope, sorry, 16. Just. Damn him. So, sorry, 16. Just. Damn him.
Starting point is 00:52:28 So, he takes one. One point of damage. One damage. And then my second attack. Sure. Against the same guy. That was 16 plus 10, so 26 to hit. It's the frogman.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Uh. 14 damage. 14 more points of damage. Again, the blow is so hard it nearly unseats him from his mount. Still standing, this frogman. Damn it! He looks bad.
Starting point is 00:53:00 His little body is all bruised. You can see this huge purple swelling around his thick, mucousy neck and just looks very, very badly hurt. The next giant frog will make its... Oh, no, I've already done that one against Quill. The remaining lesser frogmen, one of them will hop down and desperately try to attack Quill.
Starting point is 00:53:23 The other one will move. Not being able to attack Nova will also attack Quill because he attacked Krokatoa. Advantage on these attacks. Can I protect on one of them, please? Yes. In that case, I'll do this next one. So it just becomes a flat roll because they have advantage.
Starting point is 00:53:38 So the highest I rolled there to hit Tom was a 10. The next one, however, which is the one with disadvantage, but it had advantage, is a 22. Oh, there we go. Okay, yeah. Oh, I actually have two attacks I forgot. So that's going to be
Starting point is 00:53:53 five points of damage, and then his next attack would be... Nope, that's a miss. So yeah. You take some points of damage from this little frog man as they desperately try and flail at you. Nova, you are a cloud. I am a cloud.
Starting point is 00:54:10 So do I get any saves against tripping? Yeah, I think now that the battle has started properly, it will be at the end of your turn. Make another intelligence save. So RP-wise like am i still i because i don't really know like how smart can i be right now like how i don't know how does this
Starting point is 00:54:31 affect like what i want to do just do what you want to do man like don't worry about it okay um so the wording of being a gas cloud says that it's a concentration spell and then it says like the spell ends if the creature drops to zero hit points, but does that mean I can only end it if I drop to zero? Or can I just drop concentration? I think all spells you can just choose to end. I think it's just a bonus action or an action to just choose to end the spell.
Starting point is 00:54:56 In which case, can I stop being a cloud? Yeah. I would like to cast... Oh, he moved. I'm like to cast oh he moved I'm going to try a new thing I'm going to try synaptic static
Starting point is 00:55:11 which you choose a point within range and cause psychic energy to explode there it's a 20 foot radius so what I want to do is I want to catch Croco Noah and the little dude next to him not Lucius
Starting point is 00:55:28 please can you make intelligence saving throws DC 17 for both of those buds I will do I'm just going to wait for my thingy to spin back up so let's do Frogamoth first intelligence saving throw Let's do Frogamoth first.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Intelligence saving throw. Yeah, DC 17. The highest I got was a fifth. Yeah, well, he fails that. He's not very intelligent. And then Lord Gloobor is a... I think that's very high either. Nope, that's a 10. They both fail.
Starting point is 00:56:01 So that's 8d6 psychic damage. A couple of ones in here. A couple of sixes in here. Tom, I might need your math help. I've got three sixes. Three ones. And a four and a three. I've lost count.
Starting point is 00:56:24 28. 28. That's yeah. 28. That's what I said. So 28 points of psychic damage. And those two, they have muddled thoughts for a minute. During that time, it rolls a d6
Starting point is 00:56:37 and subtracts that number rolled from its attack rolls and ability checks as well as con saving throws to maintain concentration. You can make an intelligence saving throw at the end of each of your turns if you want to okay nice well i don't think either of them are really making that save um okay but you are now a person again yes i am now a person okay
Starting point is 00:57:00 annoyingly my window keeps keeps i don't know why it does this whenever I have like roll 20 and D&D Beyond open everything just goes black for a while and then I have to refresh everything very annoying mmm yeah okay you've wandered off I mean this the the frog knight is having a hell of a time against Ayla, but you can't really get away Yeah, because even if it jumps you're still gonna get an attack against him So in a last desperate valiant zealot like attempt the knight will attempt to strike Ayla twice That is gonna be a miss and another miss.
Starting point is 00:57:48 The knight just desperately tries to injure Ayla before it can. The one remaining will target Quillik again. That's a miss. Jesus, I cannot hit you, Quill, to save my life. The highest I rolled there was a 15.
Starting point is 00:58:08 No. So you are just fleeing, hiding around Sentry as Sentry's shield is protecting you and just ducking to the ground as these giant spears pierce all around you completely unable to do anything.
Starting point is 00:58:24 It's got a frog men, Sentry. Um, Mark... And then Sentry and Quill, you will get an opportunity attack. Oh yes, go on. I rolled an intelligence saving throw, I got 14 just for the end of my turn. Yeah, that's enough. Yeah, that's enough. Cool. Century and Quill,
Starting point is 00:58:51 you will get an attack opportunity. The giant frog takes a leap into the air and is going to land next to Nova. Okie dokie. I'll take that hit. Why not? Hey, guys, you know I have a quarterstaff, right? Oh, yeah, that quarterstaff you've always had, that you've always carried around.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Tickle it. I've got a 25. 25 will hit. Quill's 21 will also hit. Nice. He's only got one hand, so he can only do five points of damage. Imagine if that decapitated him.
Starting point is 00:59:27 And then give him damage entry. Gloucester! Can I spell a level 3 Divine Smite on this boy, please? You can, yeah, yeah. It's on a hit. Awesome. So that is... I'll just do my little mathy maths. So that is... Oh my god. 2d8 plus 1 for each one higher. So 2, 3, 4...
Starting point is 00:59:51 Is it 5? 4, 5. 5d8. You tell me. 19. Well, if it's 4d8 for your level 1, you should get another 2d8, so... Because you you should get another 2d8, because you're casting it at 3rd level.
Starting point is 01:00:08 So add another d8 onto that one. Another one. So 19... 20... 7... plus 5. So 32. Now, so as this thing jumps away you just strike upwards with her majesty's rose and this gleaming
Starting point is 01:00:29 light of the matrix pierces through the rider's belly as the frog tries to leap him away and you just hear this as it lands and then I just
Starting point is 01:00:43 knock him away and then I just just knock him away. And then Sentry, it's your go. So I'm grappled currently. No, not anymore. I let go and jumped away. Oh, sweet. Awesome. Ah, you should have had disadvantage on those attacks. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Do you want me to roll? No, it's fine. I've already done the damage. Okay. So can I... I'm going to cast Enlarge and then I'm going to go move over to Lucius. There we go. You just see Sentry's form kind of expand. The metal grows, the face armor.
Starting point is 01:01:26 And I'm going to kind of move, like, here. Mm-hmm. And I just, like, yeah, be like a barrier between the... Yeah, yeah, because it's action to cast. It's action to cast thingy, isn't it? So, uh, cool. Um, yeah, well, Sentry, after you... That's your whole go, yeah?
Starting point is 01:01:44 Yeah. Okay. Uh, well, the the giant frogamoth will attack you yeah I forgot that you were grappled as well because it was this creature that had you grappled that's my mistake never mind this thing will try and attack you with at least one of its tentacles it will still try and lash out
Starting point is 01:02:02 at quill because quill hurt it really badly but its tentacles. It will still try and lash out at Quill, because Quill hurt it really badly. But its tentacles have got like 20 foot reach, so it kind of wraps one around you. In fact, it's actually longer than that. And it's going to send the other one out towards Quill. But yeah, its tongue will probably try
Starting point is 01:02:17 and wrap around while you're too big. And it can't really get to Lucius. So it might have to not use it. Sentry, attack against you is a 29. That'll do it. Quill, 26. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Oh. Oh. All right, Sentry, this is 8. 13. Alright, sentry, this is 4, 8 13 That is 19 points of bludgeoning damage and you are grappled again I'm going to remember that next time Is this Krokatoa making these attacks?
Starting point is 01:02:57 Oh, it should have reduced it by a D6, shouldn't it? Yeah, D6 I think a 29, it goes down to a 23 It still would have been over 20 And then Quill It goes to a 23. It still hits. And then Quill, yeah, it goes to a... What did I hit you with?
Starting point is 01:03:09 Like a 22, a 21? It goes down to 18. Oh, I'll shield it then. Okay, so you shield that one. Yeah, if I can shield it, then yeah, I will. Yeah, yeah, because it would have been 18 with the synaptic static. Perfect, yeah, I'll do that. So, so okay so as the tentacle comes slamming down again quill narrowly avoiding being hit by this giant creature um after it's dealt such a heavy blow
Starting point is 01:03:36 but essentially you get whacked by one of it um it will try and bite you century even if it can't fully swallow you it will still try and bite you. For only a 15. In fact, that would be even less because it's synaptic static. And then this thing can't actually physically succeed on the intelligent saving throw, Nova. So there's no point in even trying. Yep, can't even make it. What's its score?
Starting point is 01:03:59 It's got very low intelligence. And it has no bonus. If it's less than two, I should have asked. It's less very low intelligence. And it has no bonus. If it's less than two... If it's less than two... Does it not affect it? I should have asked. Yeah. It's less than two. Did I...
Starting point is 01:04:09 It's less... Well, it's two. Oh, shit! So it didn't take all that damage. Oh, I thought it would have been more intelligence than a two. No, it's dumb. Okay. Well, it still seems healthy.
Starting point is 01:04:21 It still affected the druid, though. So... Yeah, sorry. Quill, it would have been a It still affected the druid, though. Yeah, sorry. Quill, it would have been a 23. Could you still shield that? Yeah, so Quill will take the damage, yeah. I can't shield that. Right, then don't spend the shield.
Starting point is 01:04:33 And instead, a 15, 17, 23 points of bludgeoning damage, Quill. That's this tentacle. And you are also grappled. Is it normally it's like three or higher. Shit. Yeah, an intelligent, a creature with an intelligence score of two or lower can't be effective. Two or lower, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:55 It is two. Nice. So, that was Itzko Quillick. Shit. Well, now that I'm grappled I guess it's a action to get away from that right yes you have to spend an action to break free of the grapple
Starting point is 01:05:15 okay in that case I'm next to these little nerds as well yeah the little nerds are there trying to stop you running away. Why? In that case, I will do a healing word on sentry
Starting point is 01:05:34 at level 55. Level 3. So that's 1d4 3d4 plus 5 so 3d4 7 plus 5
Starting point is 01:05:52 level 3 spell well appealing thank you thank you very much d4s I know. That was your bonus action, Quill. My action was to get away from the grapple.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Oh, right, I see. Okay, what did you roll on that? Oh, it's a strength save, is it? Yeah, you have to make an athletics or acrobatics check. Oh, well, that was strength. I'll do an actual athletics check. Sick. Oh, Ted.
Starting point is 01:06:31 You do not break free. This tentacle has you gripped firmly. That's cool. All right, well, I heal Sentry, and that's my turn. That's your turn. Thank you. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:42 In that case, the little Lord Gloobor Having been denied His big epic spell Will in a kind of frustration Waters Of the island come to my head And behind him a big kind of Wall of water surges and he is going to
Starting point is 01:07:00 Cast a spell Count a spell At what level? You counter the spell automatically So Lucius is just like is going to cast a spell. Count spell. At what level? Fourth. You counter the spell automatically. So Lucius is just like, and then the water just splashes down behind him. He's like, no!
Starting point is 01:07:15 Just stop it! You stop it! Incredible. Stop! Lord Bluebor is mighty! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Fight your guard, not us. I'm going to...
Starting point is 01:07:30 Can I mark? You are marking these spell slots, right? For counter spell? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got one left of fourth. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to move over to one of these frogs here. As you do, when you...
Starting point is 01:07:44 I actually know you're still within its reach. Yep, okay. Frogamoth can't get an opportunity to attack just yet. Can I just grab one of these frogs and whip it round so it's facing this way? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Well, you can make it. You can. You're going to make a... This is a grapple check, so it's strength. You're going to make a strength check against this thing. It's a regular old strength, yeah. Well, athletics can make it. Just pull it off, Quill. You can. You're going to make a... This is a grapple check, so it's strength. You're going to make a strength check against this thing. It's a regular old strength, yeah. Well, athletics, yeah. Athletics or acrobatics.
Starting point is 01:08:10 No, no, athletics, because you are initiating the grapple. All right, I'll roll that one now, then. Six. So you try and grab it, and it just like... And it grabs you instead. Yeah, you do not move it. It is not grappled. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:28 So can I use my font of magic to quickly spell so I can actually cast this round? Yeah. But I'm grappled, so is that... You're not grappled. No, you just failed to grapple. Right. You are not grappled back.
Starting point is 01:08:41 In which case, I'm going to Chromatic Orb at my last, actually fifth level of Cold on the Frogger Moth. Sure.
Starting point is 01:08:59 I'm sure I can hit because it's so big. Maybe. Maybe. Size of a building. Alright, so 19. 19 does indeed hit.
Starting point is 01:09:17 25 cold. 25 cold. It does not have resistance against that. The ice shatters against its large belly and kind of spreads rime and frost across it. No! I'll send a shard as well of Dicromancy onto it as well of nine points. Another nine points.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Another ice shard smashes against it as you do so. Yep. Anything else? That's it for me. Okay. The giant frog mount. Go on. I would have been in barnage. You rolled a 19.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Unless you get a crit. Whatever. Do you want me to roll? Well, this is where he'll probably roll one now you've said that. No, it was a 12. There you go. Ayla, the giant frog tries to bite down on you again, but fails. Then it's your turn, actually.
Starting point is 01:10:17 The mount is just like... Can I hit the doody what's it on top of this again? Please. Yeah, sure. Recklessly. 26 to hit. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:10:41 easy. The hammer smashes into it is this the one that you were fighting before you don't need to roll damage dude okay well it was 16 for the first hit it had 5 fucking hit points left so this knight on top you just jump up
Starting point is 01:10:57 and one big you just hear it's little neck snap and his body just slumps off the giant frog mouth can my little zap go to the frog then snap. His body just slumps off the giant frog mouth. Can my little zap go to the frog then? Because it's within five feet. That's a two. Failed.
Starting point is 01:11:14 So seven damage. Seven points. Lightning. The lightning arcs through its body. You can see some of its internal organs light up from the lightning arcing through it. And can I move to here
Starting point is 01:11:30 and recklessly hit this little dude beside Quill, please? Yeah, absolutely. Good job I did, because I rolled a net one on the first one. So 24 to hit. Yeah. Good job I did because I rolled a net one on the first one So 24 to hit Yeah 10 damage Oh 10 to this guy Not enough is it
Starting point is 01:11:56 Wait wait no Wait wait wait 11 Is that enough? Because I'm reaching. Oh my god. I was like, he's going to be on one hit point, but no, Aelita just comes up and one big
Starting point is 01:12:14 smash, this big green pussy blood just kind of splats all over Lucius and Quill. Anything else, Aelita? No, that's my, all of my turn. That's your whole turn. Nova, the giant frog tries to nom you. I'm just gonna skirt.
Starting point is 01:12:33 It fails. I'm just gonna skirt back. The giant frog mount tries to bite Nova. I'm between these two. Fails. Um, yeah, I'm not even gonna make an opportunity attack. Nova! Oh no, sorry, the one remaining Bullywug.
Starting point is 01:12:41 I'm not even going to make an opportunity to attack Nova. Oh no, sorry. The one remaining Bullywug will attack Lucius. That is a 17 to hit and a 21 to hit. Lucius, that's three points of damage and three points of damage.
Starting point is 01:13:02 I risked my life for a little cockataw. Very noble. I give my life for Lord Togata! of me, I guess the rider. So I'm going to attack with Tiangong, and I'm going to green frame bread it. 16 plus 10, so 26 on the first hit, and I rolled an 8 on the damage, so 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 points of
Starting point is 01:13:37 Tiangong damage, and then it is 2d8 8 points of fire damage to the rider. And then... Tiangong swipes through the air, the green flame, or the bluish kind of green flame training behind, and it just carves through him.
Starting point is 01:13:57 The rider just falls down dead. Ah. And then an additional 15 points of green flame blade damage to the frog mount. Yeah, to his one, yeah? The one that he was riding? Yeah, the one that he was riding, yeah. So the flame then lances down onto the frog, scarring all of its back, and you can see that, yeah, it's absolutely savaged by it. Sentry.
Starting point is 01:14:22 Can I use an action to break out of my grapple? Yes, you can. Yep. So, athletics check. I need to check. Let's see on this. Let's go. Athletics, 12.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Athletics or acrobatics. Oh, okay. Cool. Athletics. That'll be a natural 20 for athletics check. You managed to rip the tentacle free from your body. Yeah, and you are now free. And I'd like to move back to here, please.
Starting point is 01:14:55 And you are still within range of that. However, the Lord Gloobor will get to strike you. And as he does, he kind of rips free the cloth around the spear he's been carrying, and you can see the blue black crystal of Tiangong as he thrusts it towards Sentry as you run past.
Starting point is 01:15:16 13 does not hit, however, as he's just like, swipes past as you go. That was such an epic setup. He unveils his weapon and misses. I mean, he's a frogman. Anything else, Century, on your go?
Starting point is 01:15:32 I know that's good, thank you. I don't want to lose concentration on my enlarge. Yep, okay. We'll finish off this round. The frogmoth will look towards hungrily towards Lucius and Quillic. No, not again.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Two tentacles and a tongue. Lucius, that is a 21 to hit you. Yeah. Quill, that is a 20 to hit you. That one I will shield. Thought you might. It's pretty stupid
Starting point is 01:16:05 and it really hates Quill. It would probably try and grab... Oh, actually, no. Lucius is in front. It will tongue Lucius. Sorry, I need to do a damage Lucius. So that is 12, 15, 21 points of bludgeoning damage, Lucius.
Starting point is 01:16:22 And you are grappled. And then it will tongue you. For 27, you are pulled. And then it will try and bite you. For a 15. Yeah. 15. Go on.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Five. Six. five six twelve more points of piercing damage and you are swallowed I'm down you are unconscious inside its belly that was right on the money there taste

Starting point is 01:17:17 you do you can't see him in that case I will do another guiding bolt on him at level 5 this time. Okay. Because how do I love spending
Starting point is 01:17:35 spell slots? 46, so I need to actually see if it hits first. You do. You can't nat 20 this one. Oh, that's a 9. That's 9. 18.

Starting point is 01:18:08 42 damage. I'll make a saving throw to see if it can retain the creature in its stomach. DC 20. It has plus 9 to this saving throw. Of course, I roll a 7. Once again, you hear this kind of retching as Lucius's unconscious body is
Starting point is 01:18:23 thrown up back onto the floor. Yeah. And just lands in a wet, mushy pile. In a long time, injury check. It is an injury check. Constitution saving throw, please, Lucius. And the DC would be more than enough. More than enough.
Starting point is 01:18:43 And the DC would be more than enough. More than enough. But sensing a moment of potential danger, Gloobor will move over to Lucius's body and place the tip of Tiangong's spear at Lucius's throat. If you can't stand down, I shall kill your friend. And that is where we're going to win today's episode god damn i don't think i don't think what what don't you think it's just a statement it's just a statement i don't think i don't think lord glooball will have his victory it's a trap oh god it was a trap all along it was a trap
