This series is partnered with Wizards of the Coast and takes place in the brand new campaign module, Baldur's Gate, Descent into Avernus, to rescue an old friend under the command of Asmodeus. So, let's continue our adventure with the party accepting a deal to take down Arkhan the Cruel.

Welcome to High Rollers Lightfall's Descent. We are the High Rollers. We're a bunch of British D&D people from England. We've already played three hours of D&D. It was a very intense episode. Give me a break. But we're excited to play more. We're excited to play more.

It's just my brain is a bit tired. Welcome. Welcome. We are playing through the brand new... We're doing our own spin on the brand new module Baldur's Gate Descent into Avernus, where our party are a group of high level characters, level 15 to be exact, who have travelled into the hells in search for their friend and comrade who fell in our original campaign that we streamed a couple of years ago now, or a year ago now.

Trelemar Alif, he was a drow warlock who made a deal with Asmodeus and his soul and body were transported away. You alright there, Tom? Yeah, my elbow just slipped off the table. That's fine. Carry on. Carry on. And they have gone to the hells in order to try and reclaim it, having learnt from a visitor from the world of Toril

that Treomar's contract had been passed from asmodeus to one of his many devil lieutenants his arch devils when asmodeus rose to power as a god having traveled through into the world of the forgotten realms they went to baldur's gate there they found a demi-plane that led them to the river styx and now they are in avernus having narrowly escaped some run-ins with devils aboard a port called the Ironclad, built from a great war machine that sailed down the River Styx but became beached. Having tried to make a deal with a succubus or an incubus for safe passage around the Ironclad and getting into some hot bother hot and bother with the

uh the captain of the ironclad a blue abishai called ezakai yeah uh you have basically made your way down to the lower decks where you have taken a long

rest so if you didn't mark down that you took a long rest take a long rest well i don't think you mark no reason uh because you

you didn't do it i absolutely did oh okay good do i get a coin no um No reason. Because you didn't do it? I absolutely did. Oh, okay, good. Do I get a coin? No. You took a long rest, and then you went to a altar of Asmodeus and invoked a name of an Erinise who you had encountered on the River Styx, who had said that she would give you free information,

she would do you a one-time deal of giving you some free information if you invoked a name, having been impressed by your combat prowess against some demons that attacked you. Yeah. And after learning that information, she offered to provide even further assistance,

offering to help not only provide you transport and aid you in combat, but to take you to the places you need to go in exchange for a favour. Where you need to go, you were given some piece of information by a tiefling woman called Silvira Sykis

who said that you would need to seek out Lulu the Holiphant and track down the ledgers of some demon name I can't remember. Ledgers of Zarakariel. It's... Zamblan.

God, what is it? Zarlan Rune Scourge. Zarlan Rune Scourge. I knew it was an X name rune something. And yeah, and so that was the information she gave you. She gave you a bunch of information about that, including the locations, but you are in Avernus.

It is a blasted, hellish wasteland of meteor swarms and lava and rivers of blood and demons and devils. And it's pretty bad. And you don't know where to go. You don't know how to navigate this blasted wasteland. You just know

locations. Are there rainbows? No. Not even like they rainbows no not even late just Halloween fire there's probably arcs of fire yes there are probably like great red and red so glad you guys are in a positive mood about it that's great that's great we love it here yeah. Yeah, you should. Told you. It's amazing. It's a great place. Oh boy.

Just before we kick things off, the last thing that Khaleesa, that Erinise mentioned to you, when you asked what favour, she instructed you that she would need you to kill a mortal figure who none of you have heard of. No.

Called Arkhan the Cruel. Who's that? Who's that? I think, in fact, the only one I'm going to change, there's a couple of slight changes. Alzra, you have heard of Arkhan the Cruel. Being a cleric of the Raven Queen, because the Raven Queen

was heavily involved in several matters that Arkhan was also involved in the raven queen uh has warned you that uh you've just heard the stories of that there was a there is a dragonborn champion of tiamat uh called arkhan who had who had traveled to another world, not Toril, not Arrak, but another place called Exandria. And there, Arkhan had recovered something very powerful from the Raven Queen's nemesis. An enemy and a villain that she has long hated. Orcus. Vecna.

The lich who sought to become a god. What a dick. And Arkhan took the hand of Vecna. I want that. Can I have that? The Raven Queen would not like you to have it, but that you can absolutely want it. But the Raven Queen has warned you that this champion exists

and he is in the realms and can travel between worlds and that you should be wary what was that last name again uh of the the hand uh the hand of vechner vechner is the the in some worlds he has the power of a god in others he is a very powerful lich that nearly ascended to godhood. Oh. Okay. You don't know? OC. OC? I don't think so. I think he just wants to be a servant of Tiamat.

I don't know. Ask Joe. Tweet Joe Magnello. Does Arkhan want to be a god? Yeah, could you explain the revenants for people? I'm not going to explain shit. As far as... As in Joe, like... I mean, I'm not going to say anything,

because as far as your characters are concerned, you don't know who this Arkhan is. You don't know who he is. No, I just mean as a player. Yeah, why? Because you guys go funny every time you keep saying the name. It's Joe Maganello's character who was... He's been involved in a number of other streams.

He's been in CritRole and WallSpray and stuff. He's also from that show. True Blood. True Blood, yeah. He's a famous actor it's very very lovely man i've briefly had that character for like almost his entire dnd right but now it's he's kind of given it up and it's been given to wizards he's right and that's why he's in and he's actually in the module he is in the module i have his facts why he can use

has anyone killed him before? Has anyone tried? Is it a world first? I'm sure there are home games or something like that. It could be a world first, though. It's not going to be easy. Heard it here first on High Rollers. So, with that, with that, the creaking metal of the ironclad echoes around you the stomps and grunts

and screams and hellish noises of the devil inhabitants echo through these metal chambers but deep in its bowels at the back of the ship in front of this altar to Asmodeus, lord of

the nine, greatest of the devils, stands before you a woman with red feathered wings, pale skin, blood red eyes, lips, in full plate armour, and she stands before you. Well, what do you think? Um, Arkhan, the cruel, did you say?

That is the mortal's name, yes. Why him? Why? That's a very good question. He seeks to release his goddess. Tiamat is imprisoned here in Avernus, serving some ancient, I don't know, something happened between her and Asmodeus, and now she is imprisoned here as a guardian to Avernus.

This Arkhan seeks to release her from her imprisonment. Zariel is too concerned with her war against Baphomet and Ynogu to care. But I serve my lord faithfully, and if he wishes Tiamat to be imprisoned, then this mortal should be stopped. Okay. Okay. And he is quite a villain.

He lives up to his name? Incertainly. How powerful is this mortal? Powerful. Not only is he a champion of Tiamat, but he has acquired an artifact of a powerful lich that he carries with him. He also has servants of his own, a priest of Tiamat that travels with him, as well as a minotaur champion, a warrior.

And he has dragons, skeletons, armies, all that sort of thing. Perfect. Well, so do we. We've got skeleton armies. Quite. The reason I offer this to you is, please understand, I am not like my, I am not, I'm not like those succubi I've already dealt with. I do not try and trick mortals into contracts. I am very clear with my statements. And I only wish to offer you things that I believe that you want yourselves. You, this mortal, this Arkhan, if he is successful in unleashing Tiamat from her prison,

she will wreak havoc upon your worlds and others' mortal planes. She will be unstoppable. Surely you would wish to stop such a thing. Yeah, I mean, come on. You're giving us a task that clearly is above our pay grade.

You don't care if we die. You seem powerful enough. I think that you are. I would not set you against something you cannot achieve. I'm very powerful. I'm just not sure the other guys are up to the task. I would wish to have more power. More power can be given to you if that's what you wish. I have a question.

Of course, my dear. Thank you. I have souls trapped within this sword that I carry. So you do. Is there a way I can release them in exchange for payment? You seem very keen on souls down here. Yes, soul coins are the currency of the Nine Hells. It can be done, not here, not by me,

but there are people I know that could convert them into souls. Who would they be? Well, why don't we make that part of the deal? Okay. You assist me. Either kill Arkhan or see him removed from Avernus. See his plans here disrupted. And I will offer an exchange.

Sorry? Kill or stop. Kill or stop. Remove him from Avernus, ideally. Sure. I'm not sure how he got here, but removing him from the plane will hopefully disrupt his plans enough.

Okay. Or kill him, ideally. If you do kill him, perhaps there may be a little bonus. If you were to kill him and I was able to recover this artifact that he carries, Okay.

and give it to my lord Asmodeus. We will make sure that you are suitably... A bonus is provided. A powerful relic, perhaps, or services you may need. But, in exchange for assisting me in dealing with this Arkhan, I will accompany you. I shall fight alongside you with the proviso that I will not help you against any champions of

Zariel herself. I know my place in the hierarchy and I do not wish to enjoy that discomfort, but I will help you against demons, Arkhan, any creatures that are not aligned to Zariel herself. Is it likely we will

face someone like that if you're travelling with us? We may be able to avoid it, likely we will face someone like that if you're travelling with us? It's better we may be able to avoid it but I cannot promise you it. And as I said I do not delve into trickery. I cannot promise you that we will not come across somebody that I cannot

help you fight. I will make myself how do they say vanish. I will not endanger myself. But not just that I will take you somewhere where you can acquire transport, and then I will show you the way to the places you need to go. Okay.

I may even be able to help you acquire one of these things, the ledgers. I believe I know the individual who has them. I may be able to convince him to give them to you. Whatever your plans are, I suspect that they are not to Zariel's favour, and I would be quite pleased to see the angel fall again. What is the consequence of us not carrying out our bargain? Then you won't get my aid.

I'm not, like I said, I don't believe in trickery. I'm not going to bind you into some contract that puts your souls at risk. I would much rather that you offer those to me freely. I can provide you considerable powers if you do wish to put your souls on the line. But, Channa, I can speak on behalf of the Lord of the Nine himself. He's always looking for new champions in his planes. But

there will be no consequences if you decide not to help me, if you refuse, or if we get halfway and you decide that you do not wish to complete the task, then so be it. You will not receive my help. But I can't promise you that I won't be upset. Sure.

She wants free labor. That's what she wants. It doesn't sound free. Think of yourselves as infernal mercenaries. Oh, I like the sound of that. Infernal mercenaries. I thought you might. It's very cool. You should really, if you ever wish to speak with me privately, I can

allow you to. And then she speaks in your mind Like you are always welcome to speak to me If you wish My cheeks just go red And I'm like Just like a fiddling Miss Alza Are you quite alright there?

Yeah Laura is just looking very quiet I'm not gonna rp laura but she will be around if you need like if you ask her a question and stuff sure because katie's not here but i don't really want to take control of her too much yeah makes sense um okay well uh do you know where arcan is now i do if you are, I can take you nearby. I would recommend you do some reconnaissance. He has forces available to him. And I'm not sure of his exact location.

I know where he has constructed a tower here in a verse. I can take you there. Nice. I love stairs. So we just have to kill a guy and then we get what we want, right? A guy in a fortress with an army. The powerful dragonborn... Exactly. We need to make sure our expectations are not that we're just going to win straight away.

We need to be cautious and careful. It's going to be hard, but it'll be worth it. But also worth it. You will also have me to assist you. Well, in that case case Let's go in I'll be more than happy to see this Upstart Tiamat worshipper brought to his knees Now

Yeah What was your name again? You forgot Yes You humans all look alike It's difficult to tell your parts That's racist This is Mr. Human

That's racist Mr. Human How amusing And this is Mr. Human too I racist. Mr. Human. How amusing. And this is Mr. Human 2. I believe. If we are to work together, I would prefer to know your names, your mortal names. Cam Buckland. Cam Buckland.

And you? Child of Asmodeus? My name is Juto. Juto. Raynard Farahorn. Raynard. Allura's like, I'm Allura. Yep.

I'm a nice orphan princess. And then she looks at Alzra. And you, my dear? I'm Alzra the Voidwalker. Oh, a delectable name. Thank you. Alzra the Voidwalker. I chose it myself.

I think you misheard me. I said Raynard Fairhorn. Yes. Not delectable enough? No, in your own way. Reynard Feralhorn, Master Hunter of Talisval, the Voidwalker. Very impressive. Very impressive.

Okay, fine. Fine. You do hear in your mind, like, do you feel offended? Human? A little. Have I upset you no it's fine we're in hell or avernus so I guess maybe a little bit a little bit of respect so I ask it's just like smiles great great. I would have you agree to assist me before I take you anywhere, however.

Now, lovely to talk to you. Really love it. Love the whole, you tell us what to do and we have to agree and we go do the work for you. That's great. Oh, Mr. Buckland, no, no, no. You are free to make your own choices. If you wish to kill yourself here in Avernus, staggering through the wasteland without any devils to help you, by all means. No, no, no. You misunderstand me.

It was all really specific up to the point of the bonus, and then it was all like, maybe this, maybe that. What would you like as a bonus? I would... There are countless relics that we have plundered from mortal heroes that are locked in the vaults of Asmodeus. And this is not binding. I'm just having a conversation with my allies.

Of course. A relic, right? What about Trell's mask? That would... Were we not given Trell's mask? You broke the broken relic. Yes. It was destroyed.

Yeah. To have that back in one piece would be... I didn't do it. No. Is the other piece available and can we fix it? Maybe she can. Can you? It's possible.

I cannot myself, but there are many servants of Asmodeus who could. But a mask? There are the great holy avengers of the Knights of Cormyr. Would you not prefer something along those lines? Something to help you slay undead and creatures of the night? Can we have you as a... Oh, you wish me as a bonus, do you? Yeah.

Careful your words, Cam. How interesting. Perhaps I'd be willing to... We could make an arrangement, perhaps a year of... What do they call it? Servitude. Advisoring. Advising.

But that sounds like you're just telling us what to do again. Perhaps, um... What do they call it? Mercenary work. Yes, perhaps. Infernal mercenaries. I would certainly not be adverse to spending more time

with you. I know, I'm a real hoot. Yes, of course. Well, I'll leave it up to you. But we can discuss that later. We can come to some sort of mutual agreement later, if you wish.

I'm doing this a lot. I think this deal sounds like the best one we have yet. As long as a bonus is guaranteed. I agree with Cam on that one. I agree. If you can provide the artifact then yes.

Then yes. Then yes. You said yes. Then yes. Then yes. Then yes. You said yes. Then yes. Then yes. And remember, if there is ever anything else you require, you merely must ask. How about we get a bonus of our choice?

If it's within our powers to provide. I'm happy with that. Perfect. Sounds good. In that case... With the stipulation that, again, I will not assist you against Zariel herself. Not until she is

struck down by Asmodeus. She's too powerful for me. Okay. I'm not wont to admit that freely, but I will not assist you against she who commands the lair of hell of which I reside. We'll assume that is outside your powers. Should we take down this dragonborn champion?

Champion. Champion. Champion. I like it. I like when you mix words. Did you notice when I said impersonary, by the way? I did. That was very good.

I got it from you. I'm learning. There you go. Now, my first question is, are we in agreement? Do you wish to enter this contract with me? Yes. I shouldn't say anything. I hear yes from one of you.

Yes. And the rest, yes? Big old yes. Yeah. Well, I suppose if everyone is, yes. Very good. He's not active. You do feel like something in your chest, like...

Then the contract is made. Hold on, I'm having a heart attack. Here we go. Don't worry about that. Now, have you... You must ingest food, mustn't you, you mortals? Have you eaten, drank? Yeah, so it's like a balance between liquid and sustenance,

like physical food. So I think, like, a platter would be nice. So let's begin with maybe... I can provide you food and rations, but I will not be providing you a banquet, no. I think humans only eat the finest luxury meats and things like that, don't they? You're very clever. I'm not some foolish imp. I can provide you with enough food to keep your strength.

You literally just asked us if mortals eat food. I know that you eat food, but I'm not foolish enough to believe that you only eat the most luxurious of your kind. I've seen your kind wallowing in slop before. Have to try. See, you wouldn't have said luxurious. You sort of said that, like, a normal

food, see? We eat normal food. Normal food is what other people consider luxurious. She just basically has a small bag at her side. She pulls things from that. And she pulls out fairly standard trail rations that you might see in an adventuring store or something like that. We don't need that.

Salted meats, nuts, water. Did my face do something no I just had a thought and now I can't get it out of my head at least share the thought with the class Rhiannon she can't is it stream appropriate

no I was just going to say like she pulls out a bag of devil's beef jerky and then I just started laughing so I was all about that I love how the little things if it's devil's beef jerky would it be made out of humans

or something like that probably would be probably would be I just started laughing no she I love how the little things are moving. If it's devil's beef jerky, would it be made out of humans? Is it like that? Probably would be. Probably would be. I'm just laughing. I don't know. No, it almost looks like something which could have been bought in a general store.

Trying to see the path you took to get there. The devil's jerky. She'd write that. Sure. Barbecue flavor. All right. I will warn you that food and liquid here on a verse, it will not taste good to your appetites. Don't worry about it. Allura can just do a hero's feast, right?

Mm-hmm. She's like, oh, I could if I had chalices. Chalices? Is that something you can provide? Surely you have chalices, you very devil. Ooh, blip and blast. Hey, yo. Chalice it up.

I mean, what kind of chalice Are we talking here Allura Fancy Well you know Yep I'm just trying to remember It's been a very long time There's a lot of spells here

Okay I remember our last Heroes feast It was just before The safe Oh I don't have it prepared You don't Nope

Okay then ignore That I just said All that stuff No I don't have it prepared this time. And we just rested, so... too bad. So you can't retroactively prepare it? Nope. Okay.

Nope. Thank you, Allura. Not for you, champions. Chumps. Lol. Okay, fine. Well, fine. Slop, it is.

It's not... it's... I mean, it's like nice trail rations, but as you start eating it, it just doesn't taste nice. It tastes like kind of ashy. Dust. Yeah, and Khaleesa just says, unfortunately, yes, as we do not require food, your kind seemed to suggest that it is different here. It tastes strange.

Great, okay. Well, yeah, sure. It reminds me of the food I was given as a slave. Good. How terrible It's a shame that your kind abandoned the Lord Asmodeus Perhaps you would not have remained slaves We are no longer slaves Not your kind, of course

I know that this was long in your past We are no longer slaves Well, good, I'm pleased I'm going to go over Slavery is a useful tool, but strong warriors should rise above it.

Yes. While they're talking, I'm going to go behind Reynard. He's like, oh, he must be... He needs some loosening up. You don't want to pull a muscle. No, no. He's massaging his shoulders.

Oh, thank you, Ken. It's all right. Ow, ow. You've got valuable things on him muscle. No, no. It's not like massaging his shoulders. Oh, thank you, Cam. It's all right. Ow, ow. You've got valuable things on him. Yeah, loads of valuable things, aren't they? He is valuable. He's got the crossbow on his back. He's got the black kerf blade at his side.

Do you have any other weapons? I guess I've got the figurine of wondrous power. Yeah, that's probably like the most hidden thing. He's got the bronze griffon figurine. Is that just like necklaces or amulets or things that are mundane? Well, I've got a signet ring. Signet ring. I guess, yeah, I haven't got it written down,

but I suppose as part of the fine clothes. Yeah. It literally says fine clothes as part of that. I swear in the fight, you're not as dexterous as you used to be, and you could pull a muscle at your age. Well, it's true, I could. I saw you in the fight. You're not as dexterous as you used to be and you could pull a muscle at your age, you know? Well, it's true. I could.

I won't. Slave hand check, please. Yeah. I know what you're doing. Eight. Eleven. What's your passive perception at this point in time?

17. Yep. I mean, you feel Cam like trying to undo like a necklace and stuff like that like oh yeah yeah yeah I just took it from your face

it's like on the crook of his neck but you're like you can feel like the chain like going up and down he can like what Cam? yeah oh no it feels great, Cam. Yeah, yeah.

Feel limber? Oh, yeah, definitely. Can't get this piece. I'm, like, slowly turning. What's happening? What are you doing? What do you mean? What are you doing?

Cam, please don't steal off Reynard. All right, okay. All right. Just going to get blip and blap to get some supplies. Just ask them. They don't need payment. They already said they would serve us. There's nothing to hear on the Iron Clan.

Exactly. Just ask them. Wait, what? Also, why mine? Huh? Why my stuff? You're the richest here. Elf princess.

Laura's like, I'm going to steal from an elf princess, I'm not an asshole Cam, he's the leader of a free city he's been looked after loads of people yeah, you're great, you don't need that Cam Buckland, why are you stealing from your friends? I'm not stealing, I'm utilising

why are you stealing from your friends? so that I can get some wine And why are you stealing from your friends? I'm not stealing, I'm utilising. Why are you stealing from your friends? So that I can get some wine. Cam, you... I'm not going to face Arkhan the Cruel, some sort of mortal that can exist in this plane, where we're struggling. You faced a skeleton dragon while drunk and then tried to wash your trousers in the river Styx.

Yeah, and it went real bad. Yeah. You weren't this drunk when you helped us save Iraq. But I feel like I'm better. No. You know? No. Everything just sort of runs together.

What has happened to you? Huh? In the last three years, What has happened to you? Huh? In the last three years, what has happened to you? I'm a successful dad. I, uh... Sold all your weapons? I got rid of a lot of

wasted trinkets and whatnot and provided for my child and wife. I'm a very loyal family man. And how are they? What a noble man you are. Thanks. Thanks. That really means a lot coming from a devil. A very loyal family man. And how are they? What a noble man you are. Thanks.

Thanks. That really means a lot coming from a devil. A devil. How are they? Devils can be noble. How are they? Oh, they're wonderful.

They're doing really great. Now that their dad is away. When did you last see them? When you... When I got teleported here. Like the same day. Can I roll an insight check on that? Sure.

Hmm. I could, the same day. Can I roll an insight check on that? Sure. 22. Raynard. In your head. I feel like now that I've said my passive perception. You hear Khaleesa and she's just like, please, would you enlighten me privately? Why are you traveling with this buffoon uh he's actually capable with if you believe me on that one uh that's what i do he's done a lot

to help us hey lady have you got any other stuff that doesn't taste like ash but clearly she just smiles but in your head right now you hear like But clearly, she just smiles, but in your head right now you hear like, clearly, you are far better at this. You are a striking adventurer. Why are you sullying yourself with presents? I am. This is strange behavior. Then she replies to Cam out loud, like, no, unfortunately, no, no, no matter what I bring, it will all taste similar.

It is the nature of the plane itself. I'm going to be at the time. But I can provide you with wine if that's what you require. But I mean, like, look, okay, look, watch. I'm going to eat a ration. Yes. And then I'm going to eat a ration. Yes. And then I'm going to eat this piece off the floor. It tastes the same.

You didn't need to demonstrate that. You are quite marvelous. You are quite, quite an example of your kind. In your head, you just, you basically, she says to you, you just, you basically she says to you

um no she doesn't communicate with you do I get anything for my 22 insight? I don't think so, I think he's telling the truth, I think he generally is like seeing his family and yeah, well I think like

what you get yeah go on, you know better than I what you get... Yeah, go on, yeah. You know better than I do. You know Cam, and that he's very deflective, and that when he's just trying to hide an emotion or something, he's playing it off in other ways. There you go. In a very, like, big, boisterous way.

But his family are, like, the feeling I'm getting... He is missing his family. He's missing it, okay. And he doesn't want to be in hell. Well, if you're quite done, would you like to get moving? Yes, yes. Yes, please. Guys, there's so much floor here.

You could eat for days. I'm not hungry, actually. Let's just start walking. Oh, we don't need to walk. Okay. Oh, please, no. I won't make you walk across the furnace. I can transport you to various the furnace i can transport you to

various places i can teleport you there the difficulty with reaching some of the destinations you wish to go to is they move i cannot teleport you to places that are not fixed locations but if you wish i can just take you to near arkans tower right okay i mean how long will it take to get from landing place to arkans tower a few A few hours, perhaps, but not too long. I don't want to take us too close where his forces may spy us. Is teleportation the only method of travel? No. No, no, no, no. In fact, I mean, as part of our deal, I will take you to someone who can provide you with mundane transportation.

A horse? No, no, no, no, no. No, something far better. Infernal war machines, my dear. What? Great beasts of metal and sorcery that travel across the wastelands. This place gets better the longer we're here.

Can we stay? You can stay as long as you like, my dear. Oh, yes. In your head, You can stay as long as you like, my dear. Oh! Yes. In your head, Alzre, you just hear, like, you know, the Lord Asmodeus would have so much work for one skilled as you. Oh! You really are very interesting.

Well, and then she just waves in this great rift of fire just opens up like tears in space and time. Let's go. Shall we? Just walk on through? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Let's do it. Flip and blap. See you folks!

Great to meet you! Bye! Bye everybody! The wine. I'll to meet you. Bye. Bye everybody. The wine. I'll just hand you a wine. Oh, good. The last one for the road, pal. Here's to you. To me.

Have fun killing the man. And then... As you step through, the smell of sulfur and brimstone kind of assail your senses but you find yourself uh envelop uh you find yourself in a blasted desert-like wasteland great rocks of black obsidian uh surround you and you appear to be in some sort of valley making its way through so cute hair so lovely super kawaii desu

there it is you can see that there is a bubbling lake of lava with a half sunken citadel or like a watchtower in it not far from this valley but in the distance you know a good sort of like couple of miles trek you see a great mountain that rises up

impossibly high um stretching on seemingly forever but carved into it is the I can't begin to describe how big this dragon skull must be it is enormous it would it's like the size of the greatest tower in the biggest city you've seen it is huge and the rest of its draconic

body coils around the mountain these bones set into the stone itself. Okay. Alright. It's dead though. Yes, it is dead. Come on. That thing could reanimate in a bit. Oh my god. I mean I've killed like

four dragons. You've always been killed by one. Are you saying this in character? Sure. I'm not. Four dragons. I've definitely picked the right man to help slay a champion of Tiamat then. That one though. Oh, don't worry about that one. Long dead.

Okay, good. Who killed that? That is the entrance to Tiamat's prison. Perfect. The mountain itself binds her here. Okay. Can you imagine being a dragon?

Say, for example, you're a human. And your prison is the inside of a human skull. That's messed up. That is messed up. Thanks, guys. You are in Avernus. Speaking of which...

Who does that? That's a person in a person. Speaking of which... Lady does that? There's a person in a person. Speaking of which... Lady Amy is pregnant. Okay. Oh, how wonderful. Why are you discussing pregnancies? I believe that we have very pressing matters.

Time and place. You are a strange... You just reminded me by saying a dragon inside a dragon. What? Is that not simple biology? That's wonderful news. That's great. It's good to know. Yeah, good for her. Nice.

Got knocked up by Korak, right? A tree. Good on him. The tower is on a ridge. Several hours from here. Just because you said a dragon inside a dragon. We know why, Kim. All right?

We know why. We just don't know why now. I'm so ill. My brain is just swimming in phlegm. Carry on. Let's go inside this dragon inside a dragon Is that where we're going? No, no, no, no You do not wish to go to Tiamat's prison

I do not advise it We're aiming for the lava lake No No? I thought we were going for the tower The tower is on a ridge several hours from here Oh, okay But I wanted to keep us away.

As far as my scouting, I do know that there is at least one dragon that patrols the area, patrols around the tower. Oh. We should be cautious. Move as quietly as we can. Sure.

Is there enough place? Oh, I can cast Pass Without a Trace on us, on the Laura. Yeah. I also can do that. That's probably a better idea. For me to do it rather than you? Yes.

I want to try and save my spells for healing. I need to cast Animate Dead before I forget. Yes. Bone Bros, assemble. You just reinvigorate the runes that bind them to your will. Oh, I didn't realize. Oh, it's't realize. Necromancy. Oh, it's fun for me.

I find the undead a little distasteful, but if they're useful tools, you should use them however you can. Oh, they've served me very well in combat. You're used to ordering around lesser individuals. You will do well here, Alzrevoid Walker. Well, shall we? Sounds like me with you two. You are just a train.

You do have quite the patience, Child of Asmodeus, do you? Do you know much about your heritage? About your ancient ancestors and the deals that they made? No, I did not have the benefit of an education when I was a child. That's quite a shame. Your people, very powerful ones, they were the children of Asmodeus himself. That's why you have the features you have,

your horns, your tails. Some of you have cloven hooves, dark eyes. They all come from him, you know. But they gave up their powers. Foolish of them, really, because now tieflings everywhere are ridiculed. Treat us as lesser than

other creatures. I find the idea offensive to call such a magnificent creature lesser than... And she kind of gestures towards Cam. Like, I find it... I find it insulting. Why, I do not know,

but they were once the most loyal of his soldiers. Very powerful. That power still is in within you, you know. It's just... buried. It just needs to be unlocked. Shall we move? No doubt you have the keys.

I, me? No. No, I'm a devil through and through. All this Modius does. Interesting. Shall we go? Yes, let's. Do not be so quick to judge the temptations of power. Temptation is a natural part of mortal life. I am not interested in power. Not even to protect people you care about?

I can protect them just fine. Well, I have chosen the right people to assist me. Yeah, worked real well for Trowell, didn't it? Anyway, your friend obviously made a very terrible deal long ago. Anyway, so, what's the plan? So, Pass Without a Trace lasts for an hour. Yeah. But she said it was

going to take longer than that. It'll take about an hour, two hours. So you could just cast it again, or Cam or Laura can cast it. But it depends. You don't have to move stealthily. You could move for an hour and then cast it and then take the final approach. I guess I could just also cast it the moment I

sense something or whatever yeah sure sure yeah does anyone have any scrying abilities

can they look through something else yes I can I can scry I think we need to look at it's quite hard on somebody I don't know I believe can you tell when I'm we need to look at it. But it's quite hard on somebody I don't know.

I believe. Can you tell when I'm talking as Allura, by the way? Yep. Yep. It's very clear. I think you should try it. I can try, but he'll know if I try it. Nope, I can't. I don't have it prepared.

Damn. I might be able to do it as a ritual. Nope, I think I've still got to have it prepared. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Well prepared. I prepared myself for battle. I thought we were going to be fighting a lot of things.

We are going to be fine. Exactly. We just need to do a little bit of what's up there, where are they, where are they positioned. Do we have to deal with three, five? Oh, I could conjure some woodland beings. Great, great, great, great. Wait, what are you trying to do? Look ahead.

Look into their eyes and see what they see so that we can assess where people are, where Arkhan is, where the priest is. Can I use primeval awareness? Yeah. Okay, so I will, within a mile of us now, or, oh, actually, six miles, yeah okay so I will within a mile of us now or oh actually six miles

because mountains are my favourite terrain apparently I guess you're not in mountains there's a big mountain over there you're in a planar alright I'll give you mountains

is it forest, grassland or mountains I will give you mountains I will give you favourite terrain of mountains. These are hell mountains, but they are still mountains. Still mountains, bro. Yeah. All right, so six miles. Six miles.

Are there, perchance, any aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fae, fiends, or undead? Guess what? Yes. So, do you sense the number the number like how much detailed information do you get or do you just know if those things exist oh okay oh so primeval awareness as it turns out is much worse than what i'm used to um it just says yeah or no yes i will i will be cut like so we'll use slightly old school versions which i think the revised ranger which i think told you like how many and a bit more information

yeah it also said locate well not location and such but like okay yeah you know that within six six miles in the direction towards the tower, there is one, two, three, four, five dragons. Oh, God. Of varying strengths. I will tell you that. They are varying in strength. There is 80 undead. Oh. Could you just pull that number out of your ass?

No. Okay. I got sent some early information from Chris Perkins. And 80 was on that page. No, sorry, 84 undead. Oh, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry. A little bit.

That's much worse. As well as... I mean, I do have destroy undead. Six fiends. Six fiends. 12 fiends. Sorry, 12. And aniends. Sorry, twelve. And an aberration.

No, monstrosity. It's instantly destroyed. Is the monstrosity Cam Buckland? No. You are... Okay, that's just in the area towards the tower. Oh. Six miles, you say.

How close to the pit of Tiamat are you? Oh. I will say you are not within range. Reynard. Yes. You can sense those things. You're kind of like focusing your attention on the tower. But as your sense begins to expand outwards,

it's not within six miles, but it doesn't matter. Because from within that skull, within that mountain that is the prison of Tiamat, you have never felt a presence like it. It is both dragon and fiend

and aberration. It is so overwhelmingly powerful that it nearly buckles you to your knees. You have to steady yourself for a moment, stunned by the power of whatever dwells within it. There are hundreds of dragons around and inside that mountain. Hundreds.

That is cool. And that's the one that didn't even ascend to godhood. What's that? That's the one that didn't even ascend to godhood. What's that? That's the one that didn't even ascend to godhood. That's Tiamat. Oh, I see. Okay, I thought you meant the one that was trapped. Who is absolutely a goddess. But is trapped in the... Is trapped within it, yes. I was thinking about...

We should set her free. Yeah, you want to. Yeah, go for it. Reek habit. Become best buds with Arkan. Sounded like Coran there. Oh, go for it. Become best buds with Arkan. You sound like Coran there. Oh, go for it, team! What a quiz neck! Coran! I mean, technically...

The four paladins! There's no consequence to us not fulfilling our bargain with Khalees. I'm not saying this is a game. I'm just saying. Well, if she dies. Hmm? If she dies.

Hmm. Do what we want. Let's... Yes! You will be here in Avernus nowhere near anywhere you need to go on your own I'll just banish myself

sure yeah sure you guys can absolutely do that yeah alright let's move back on track I can stealth at full speed as well. Yes, do you want to go ahead of the team? Yes.

Okay, give me a stealth check. I'll go slightly ahead. I get the stats for dragons. Dragons. I love how into Avernus Rhiannon is. It's the best place in the world. I love it. I love how much you love it.

I love it, but i'm also just like terrified you're terrified it doesn't have any lives left so i'm just like hey you know what i bet you as modius can give you another life no don't say that i bet he can juto wanted a quiet retirement after this she'll go fighting for as modus okay what do we get on that stealth check 19 19 so you notice after traveling for a good couple of hours the dust the sweltering heat the impressive just presence of this plane weighs on all of you i need everybody to make a constitution saving throw let's see which one yikes it's a black one okay um okay okay okay, alright, bad What's the problem?

Yep, yep, piece of shit So what do we get? 14 14? 6 6? 16 16?

19 19? Laura's fine Raynard, stealthing ahead of everybody You are feeling exhausted, you gain one level of exhaustion Oh, wow, okay Going into this fight Shit Now just as a reminder, things like Greater Restoration, I believe,

gets rid of exhaustion levels. It might even be lesser. Just check if you have the spell. Oh, this is disadvantage on ability checks. Yes. Exhaustion level one. So you are, you know, you're tiring, but you're moving ahead of the rest of the party,

and you basically come to an outcropping where you can see this rise, this kind of sloped dirt and earth and rock. And atop it is a black tower. A dark tower looms on the horizon, its black spire rising hundreds of feet, its ramparts bristling with charred skulls mounted on iron spikes. ramparts bristling with charred skulls mounted on iron spikes the tower's apex splits into five narrower spires that jab at the sky like clawed fingers circling above the tower's peak is a great white dragon stained with ash and soot you can also see moving around at the top of the ramparts around the base of the tower shuffling undead guards in various states of decay. Patrols of about ten each. Right.

Well, I guess when everybody catches up... And then everybody catches up, and you can see, like, Reynard is tired. You can tell he is exhausted. Yeah. I'm, like, looking over, then I turn around and I'm just... Why did you run ahead? So I could scout. So we don't get attacked.

Now you're tired. Yes, but also... Do you want some wine? Haven't been... a little bit. Are you sure? Is there any left? No. Great. Well, thanks. There's a drop. There's a drop.

Thank you. Well, thanks. There's a drop. There's a drop. Thank you. Now smash it. I'm drunk. Wow. That was fast. I've never had wine. Okay. So I guess you can all see that.

I relay all that information, plus you can also see it. Yeah. How structural does this tower look? It's made from black metal. It would take considerable power to bring the tower down. Yes. Yes, this is made from thick metal, sculpted with magic. Stone, you imagine. It's embedded into the ground many times over as well.

It also looks like this tower was maybe not built here. Well, not built recently. This looks like maybe it's been taken over. Does it look climbable? There is definitely a tall slope, but it's kind of sloped up towards it. You can move around and slope up. The difficulty will be that it currently looks over this area where you're watching.

The difficulty will be approaching unseen. Yeah. Yeah, there's a big eye at the top. Yeah. A big blazing eye. A big blazing eye. A big blazing squad at the top. Seeing you at the crossroads.

I see you. Mordor, mordor, Mordor. Copyright strike. You see the white dragon kind of flies around and patrols and then it perches at the top of the tower and just scans around. That's going to be a problem. How do we want to

stealth, obviously, how do we want to get in there? Stealthily. Perfect. Well, I can help with that. But what route are we taking? There's guards patrolling the entire thing and also him. Not sure if you spotted him, the dragon. Is there such a thing as a back door? Maybe.

We could try. Around the back. I can distract the undead. I can turn some of the undead away. If they spot us. Me too. I can destroy them. Destroy, turn.

Turn, destroy. That's good. In that case, should we just go in? A bold strategy. But stealthy. I would simply suggest that you prepare yourselves for battle

no plan survives contact with the enemy that is very true eloquent if we can sneak into the tower it will prevent the dragon from engaging us and will prevent the

large amounts of undead from being able to overwhelm us. I mean... I'm sure that there will be forces inside, but it will be easier to deal with them and then worry about the dragon and the undead later. Looking at the tower, is there any windows?

So it's just like the main gate and then... It's the tower. It is Sauron. It's the Black Tower of Sauron. It's this black kind of spiked, spined tower that raises up. I mean, sure. Let's say that there are definitely windows. There are black iron, but they're not windows with glass.

It's just like bars of thick iron. Oh, okay. So even if we were to get up there somehow. Yeah. The main entrance looks to be a pair of huge double doors behind like the main rampart walls around the main, in front of the tower. So imagine you have like a

wall and then the tower's in the middle of the walls. And then there seems to be like one big double-doored entrance with stairs leading up to it. Now, I could individually dimension Doris in. I don't know where we're going but I can kind of vaguely guess to get past the ramparts at least. Mm-hmm. That would waste a lot of my Also I believe that the tower is protected against teleportations otherwise I could have teleported us straight in there myself. It'll at least take us

right to the rampart. I can teleport us directly to its walls, though my teleportation is quite obvious and visual. Mine too. Mine makes a big door. Great. Yeah, that won't work.

It will certainly, if we can teleport straight to the doors, provided that they are openable, which I do not know if they are locked or warded, I do not know. But if we were to immediately appear before them and then simply enter, there shouldn't be enough time for the dragon or the undead to react and come to us that quickly. Just get in the tower here. Yes.

I say we try that. Unless we can walk through a plant. Is there any weird... weird plant around here? A tree? That Allura can take us through? I haven't seen a single tree since we've been here. Hmm.

I don't know if... I don't know if a servant of Tiamat is gonna have... flowers. I mean, there could be plant life that's, you know, hardened to this kind of environment. You haven't seen any. You've not seen living things. Okay, well...

And the door is closed. Yes. I'm going to cast Death Wall on myself now. Okay. Mark it down. Done. Last eight hours. I'll do Pass Out myself now. Okay. Mark it down. Done. Last eight hours. I'll do Pass Out Trace.

So that lasts an hour. On all of us? On everyone, yeah. So plus ten to stealth checks. Plus ten, okay. Thank you. Just in case. I mean...

Dragons are pretty wise right they are quite powerful creatures yes so I couldn't if spot it dominate it or modify it's memory you could try I admire your bravery it's just whether it will just alert more attention or not if it fails.

Which it has done in the past. Not all the time. I usually succeed at everything. I'm sure you do. I'm guessing walking up and knocking will not work. I think that it depends. Do they receive guests? Visitors? I can't say. I've tried. Again, this one is... He is not a servant of Asmodeus.

Any devils that have approached previously have been attacked. But I can disguise myself if need be. I can make myself look like an adventurer. Okay. My wings. And leading up to the tower, is there like this... This sort of ledge, I guess. Yeah.

Imagine like a flat kind of cliff edge and then it slopes down at the back and then slopes around. So you have to like move up these sloped bits and make it a long way round, which means that anybody on the tower would see anybody kind of coming up really. Okay. Or you could go to the base of the cliff and then climb up the cliff and then you'd be with the walls of the tower so imagine there's like um i'll try and draw this out i know we don't necessarily have a webcam but imagine like you kind of have like uh like this is a hard cliff and then you have like slopes

kind of like this coming up here on either side of of it, yeah. Yeah, and then this is, like, a hard cliff edge. And then you have, like, the walls of the tower like that. And then the tower itself is in the middle here. And where are we with Mars? I mean, you guys are, like, imagine that there's, like, cliffs and rocks, outcroppings and little bits that you're hiding in down that way, so. We can make it up to the cliff face and then Juto could Juto her way up and then find a way to use rope and stuff to get us up.

Do you have any rope? I always carry rope. I'm an adventurer. Do you have rope? I've got 50 feet of rope. I have rope. I also have rope. Made out of hemp. H feet of rope. I have rope. I also have rope. Made out of hemp.

Hemp and rope. Hemp and rope. Hemp and rope. Hemp and rope. 50, 100, 150, 200 feet of hemp and rope. Hemp and rope. You will need to avoid the dragon detention still. We just need to get to that cliff face.

Stealth. Yeah. E. Yes. Stealthily. Yeah. Well, what's the worst that could happen? We could die.

So those are the walls. And then I'll say that the main, the actual main entrance to the tower is on this far side. Because it would be on the side that he expects people to come up from. Okay. So that's like the tower. These are the walls. Undead basically patrol the walls. That's where Reyn these are the walls undead basically patrol the walls that's where Reynard saw all the undead

and then there are also smaller undead patrols that seem to be along these sides so from the direction we're coming in it's actually relatively safe I mean it's a big open plain even without

a trace it will help but it's a big, open plane. Even without Pass Without Trace, like, it will help, but it's definitely difficult to stealth over an open area. If you have no way of, like, making yourself invisible, like, casting invisibility, or, you know, using things like darkness

and stuff like that. You can do it. You can still do it without past without trace it's just harder because it's big open blasted wasteland I mean I have already cast also a trace yeah I have darkness but it only covers 64 let's just try I guess yeah how big is the distance between us and the cliff face quite far I would say from the nearest point of cover, because I'm assuming that you'd stay in cover

until there's just, like, nothing. We'll say... 120 feet. Cool. So you're basically... If you dash, most of you, it will be two turns. Like, you have to make two stealth checks to get from your cover to the cliff wall

and basically press yourselves up against it and the dragon still might be able to sense you don't know I think it would still be very suspicious if I suddenly cast a cloud of darkness in the middle of an open field yeah okay well let's just do it there's no other plan

very well move forward we've got stealth Okay, well, let's just do it. There's no other plan. Very well. Move forward. We've got stealth. Well, I will render myself invisible, but I will still move stealthily. Thank you. Dragons can see through in such illusions. Oh, okay, great. All right, let's just try it.

And if not, five dragons is how many I've killed. So we've got plus ten to stealth. Yes, you currently have plus ten. So Khaleesa gets 25 on her stealth. I cast Guidance on myself for an extra d4. Laura's not very good. Laura's at 16. That's not very good.

Yeah, that was like with the plus ten. With plus ten. Yeah, because it passed without a trace. So what we're looking at on stealth checks. 22. 25. It's mainly the lowest persons, which is the difficulty. We'll do this as a group check.

So 27, 20. So 22 so far. 22. 25. 25, 27. 23. 23. Between all of them, then Khaleesa got 25.

Even with Allura's like bringing you down It's still very high I'll set a high difficulty For the dragon or the undead The undead I don't think can see you They're dumb as shit But the dragon obviously is a different story Do I need to do 4 for my bone bros? You will yes

Oh boy I've got their stats a different story. Do I need to do four for my bone bros? You will, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh boy. I've got their stats rocking and rolling. Dragons still look dumb as fuck. They are also dumb as fuck. Could you not re-summon them? No. It's not like they're not summonable.

They should literally make them bones. I don't have stealth stats for them. Their dex is probably very low, so let's say plus two. Plus two for dex, cool. All righty. So they have a plus two to their stealth checks. 16 and they get 18. 18, so plus another 10.

28. 28. They're actually the stealthiest out of all of you. They haven't got any flesh on them, have they? No, they just don't make a noise. They're just silently, like, running. No, no no no i know i love how i looked at rihanna and we both had the same idea of like naruto run it was so cool what are you talking

about now she's even more cool i'm already a samurai she's got the power of god and anime on literally i've got a god and anime on my side. She's literally a samurai, right? You know they're going to Naruto run Area 51, right? Yeah. They're all going to die. They can't get us all. Well, that's what we're doing.

It's Area 51. You kind of are. So as you begin running, you run over and in about halfway between this thing, about 60 feet until the cliff face, you watch this white dragon's head pop up and begin looking around. Now, I'm not going to immediately be like oh, you've been discovered, the dragon's going to fight

Roll Initiative. It is a alert that something is going on. Everybody needs to make stealth checks or, well, everybody makes stealth checks, but I will also say you can do, if you want to do something to try and distract it if you want to try and do something to you know throw it

off you can do okay everyone still needs to make stealth checks sure I'll do that anyway me and the bros oh dear 17 oh my god I'm rolling terribly oh yeah plus 10 still plus 10 it's still a nat one.

I rolled a nat one for Allura, and I got a three for Khaleesa. Eighteen. But I'd like to disguise self as one of the undead on the tower. Okay, yeah, you can just make yourself look like a zombie. You basically make yourself look zombified. That's one of six. I'm going to dive to the ground, but at the same time fire my crossbow bolt way off into the distance. Because that, when it lands, will make a thunderous.

Are you just firing it off into a random direction, or are you going to try and target where you came from? Because at the moment it's just open blast. So that it would look away from us. Okay. So either past it or left and right.. So either past it or left and right. Left and right, basically. Yeah, either past it or left and right. Okay.

So you find that. I'd like to cast False Life on myself at level five. Okay. That's a lot of temporary hit points I think you gain. Is that like 30 temporary hit points? It's 1d4 plus 24. That's a very panicked reaction to... So that's 25 temporary hit points.

But why? Because I can. I love it. It's literally the only thing I can do. 31 stealth. Oh my God, okay. Does that get me to the wall? So yeah, so okay. So you got 31. You got like 18, 31 stealth Oh my god okay Does that get me to the wall?

So yeah So okay So you got 31 You got like 18 But you make yourself Look like an undead Yeah What do the bone bros do? Bone bros are stealthing

Okay Roll a stealth They got 27 on their stealth 27 on their stealth Oh my god They are ninjas Raynard you drop But then you fire off

To the side Yeah but I got 15 on stealth Okay 15 We're the plus 10. Ellora basically... That one. Ellora stumbles and falls down next to you. She falls down on the ground.

And Khaleesa is running, but then kind of... I think she probably would get distracted or she's like, shit, she curses in Infernal. And it's like a rushing thing. Juto, you slide to the corner of the cliffside and you press yourself up. The bone bros kind of

move next to Cam and they're kind of running alongside. Don't hold the arm there. So are you moving or are you just still running but looking like a zombie? No, I'll shamble. So you'll start like and you're kind of following the bone bros. I'm a performer. I've got a plus 20 or something shamble. So you'll start like... And you're kind of following the bone growth. I'm a performer.

I've got a plus 20 or something. Okay. So... Plus 13. So, roll a performance check. You dive to the ground. You and Allura are on the ground. Khalees is with you. 21?

21. The sky's clear. So, the dragon, its wings fly up, and it roars. This kind of roar deafens around, and it takes to the sky. It has without a doubt seen Reynard, Elora, and Khaleesa. It does not seem to be bothered by the sound of the crossbow bolt it's figured out that that's not the immediate threat. It's like this place is

filled with explosions and thunder however the rest of you do manage to get to the cliff side and press yourselves up against it and basically are hidden for the time being or it doesn't seem to register you as something that isn't. It shouldn't.

No. You and the skeletons are like, it just assumes that you might be skeletons. Or part of Arkhan's forces. So. Split pie. Good start. Can I put down some dice just for reference? like where we are yeah sure like yeah so so what happens is alora and the dragon flies down but perches itself on the cliff face so those of you who are pressed up against it this this dragon head is looming over you, but hasn't spotted you.

It's just looking down at Reynard, Allura, and Khaleesa, who are currently in the open, basically. I actually have your minis here. Oh, sweet. Let's do that. I wave. What? I mean, see me. Yeah, it's looking at them.

At least be friendly. Ask for forgiveness. Inhale. Yeah. I might just say to him, like, hey, works lol. The dragon roars and it looks like it's just watching you with its jaws unhinged. Stay. Where. are. Right. Allura just is like, what do we do?

What do we do? We stay where we are. Felicia's like, yes. I mean, do you have a better plan? No. Well, she just looks to you, Raynard, and telepathically she communicates with you and Allura. We should just fight it.

We don't want to be taken prison. The others are hidden. Is that what it's going to do? Is it going to imprison us now? I imagine so. I'm intruding on his tower. You hear in the distance the sound of metal. Okay. I will follow your lead.

I will help you in battle, but you should think what... They have at least the element of surprise against it. Weak. And she telepathically communicates with Juto, Cam, and Alzra the same thing, of like, if it has not detected you, are we fighting it or not? We do need to get in. You see alongside the dragon about 20 skeletal archers.

Oh, okay. Begin looking down as well. Have they got ranged weaponry? They all have bows, bastards. Like, let's kill them. Huh? Let's kill them. Yeah, all right.

Okay. Well, I suppose, in that case, I'm going to just hold out the figurine of wondrous power. Okay. And you summon the bronze griffon Yep Okay Good thing I didn't sell it Let me just

Write down some things Okay Yeah he's going to write Something in which it says For 20 skeletons Yeah I am How high up is the cliff I'd say the cliff is

let's call it 50 feet 50 foot cliff and then the walls the walls are about 20 feet tall it's just about the right length for some hemp and rope yes the skeletons are on the wall they're 70 feet above you yes

uh interesting I do have a longbow 70 feet above you, yes. Interesting. I do have... a longboat. Okay. Well, we've got about half an hour, so this isn't going to finish today,

but we'll carry on next week. So let me just roll up some of my initiatives here. I've got a lot of stuff to worry about. Should we start rolling initiatives then? Yes, please, yes, yes. Yeah! Oh, you'll need to do that. Rock and roll! Natural 20!

I have no idea what to do. So that's me and then Bone Boys. Tinker booties. One, two, three. I've got a long time to wait. Why? Is it bad? Oh, my God.

Okay. Not the best. That's not bad. So, 13 for me bone bro skis I'm Bruce come with you fuck you come on the bone bruise yeah same as with a Griffin I'm not gonna come on the Griffin well I come on the grill you've got the stats for how many yes yeah okay let's hear some initiatives. I should roll for Elora. What did Elora get? 11 plus... 3.

14. So, Alzera initiative. 11. Reynard. 18. 18. Juto. 25.

25. Cam. 10. Okay, so the triggering of everything kicking off is you bringing forth this figurine and watching it grow Into this great bronze Griffin that kind of stands before you the dragon is like Begins to react however the first in the initiative is No idea what to do

fight you see this dragon is like beginning to rear up ready to pounce down it's 70 foot above us it is currently 70 feet above you yeah so if I run up the wall

how far can you run 45 foot so that would get you to the top of the cliff at the bottom of like If I run up the wall Yep How far can you run? Forty Fifty five foot Movement So that would get you To the top of the cliff At the bottom of like With fifteen foot Of wall to go

So I could all I could use my action And bonus action To like You could use bonus You could spend a key point To dash And then you'd get another

You'd be on top of the walls And then I No no no So if I'm Fifty five up I then Get onto him... You want to get on the dragon? Yeah.

Yeah? But then I don't have anything to do anything. You've got an action left. If you could spend a ki point to dash, you'd have your action. He's in a super vulnerable position, though. He does. But he's badass.

You guys have fought a dragon before. I will tell you that this dragon looks to be about the same size as Dragons you fought before Smaller than the ones you fought In the very end of the campaign Against Nitalisval You would imagine this is an adult dragon

This is not an ancient dragon Not the one that crunched About the same size as the one that crunched Reynard, the blue dragon. It's an adult. Yeah, that almost killed me. Oh, okay. Okay.

That was bad. Ranger! Ranger. But you're higher level now. True. And there's more of you. And you have an Irinese. Yep.

What did you roll initiative for? Did I? Also, I have a griffon. Do I need to roll for the griffon? No, just command it on your turn. You're going to use it as a mount, right? You're just going to fly around on it and have it maybe make attacks. Yeah.

Just do it. Yeah, so, okay, I will run up. I'll get on the dragon. I'm going to hit it. If I hit it, I'd like to stunning strike it as well. Okay. Yeah, the skeleton plot Archers have bows out, so I'm not going to have them make opportunity attacks

as you run past a group of them. You're not. No, they're not. They run up. You run up onto the dragon who is like... as you run along his arm up and towards... 12 plus... What's 12 plus 12?

24. 24 hits. So... Oh Oh no! Dragon! Dragon! 8 points regular damage. That's all, Dragon! 6 points

ice damage. That does nothing. 2 points fire damage. Okay. Immune to cold. I will tell you that now. And then can I spend a key point to stunning strike it? You had already used your bonus action. okay immune to cold okay I will tell you that now and then can I spend a key point to stunning strike it

please make a call you had already used your bonus action oh to stunning strike yes constitution saving through yeah DC 60 lovely

22 yeah okay as you try and pierce down you have two attack two base attacks don't forget

two base attacks yeah because you've got extra attack I do you just can't flurry 16 to hit Two base attacks, don't forget. Two base attacks. Yeah, because you've got extra attack. I do. You just can't flurry. 16 to hit. Not enough.

Not too far off, but not enough. That's me. That's you, Dom. At the end of your turn, it will make a tail attack against you with its legendary action. Will it hit itself, though? Because I'm on it for that. 16 to hit. I thought that was a question. No. You dodge to the side as this tail tries to slap you on the back. hit itself though because I'm like on it for that 16 to hit I thought that was a question of time

dodge to the side as his tail tries to slap you on the back after Juto we go to Reynard and Khaleesa you go first

okay I'm going to cast Hunter's Mark on him okay and then I guess jump on my griffon and have it fly like 80 feet.

Sure. So how far away is it? 70 feet. Right. And a diagonal. Could I have the griffon fly me so that I'm in like a line, like horizontal along the line of archers? Sure.

Yeah, with 80 feet? Sure. One side of the archers, you'll catch 10 of them. Yeah. Okay, because I can do, what is it? Is it Halo of Thorns or is it Barrage I'm thinking of? I mean, your abilities, man. Oh, okay, no, I'll do a Conjure Barrage.

So it's a 60-foot cone. So whatever I position my hand to hit the most... You will hit 10 skeletal arches and the dragon. Okay, cool. Do you have a dragon mini? I do. I'm not going to bring minis out because this isn't really to scale. Sweet, they need to do a... We're in the theatre of the mind!

They need to do a dex save. I'll make one check for all of the skeletons. What? For 11. Imagine I can like, bork 5 villains. Yeah. We'll probably be in command. The dragon is an 8.

Perfect. That is is an eight. Perfect. That is three. D8. 14, 15 to Margios. How many HP do your skeletons have, Alfa? They only have the 13. All 10 skeleton archers die. Sweet.

You just basically bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, like a machine gun as magical ammo refills the crossbow. How much damage was it to the dragon? Fifteen. Fifteen. That's sweet. As bolts thud, thud, thud into its chest. Yes.

As the Skeletal Archers, like, and their bones are just shattered everywhere. But you can now see from your elevator position more undead coming. Some of them with melee weapons, some of them have bows. You've killed 10, there's another 70 or so undead. Fine, that was turn one.

Khaleesa will take to the air. Her wings... She flies 60 feet up, pulls out a longbow, and then will fire three times at the dragon. Three times? Yep. That's quick. Yeah.

She's one speedy boy. She hits with the first one. She misses with the second one. She hits with the third one. This is... Oh, I have banish just banish but this is it stayed

but she's got an invisibility ring she does we could have avoided all of this well that's only a couple of you would have got in that's only a couple of you would have gotten. That's another 13. And then the dragon must make two constitution saving throws. Oh. Passes? Passes.

You can see that every arrow that Khaleesa fires drips with a thick Icarus goo. As these things hit, it just roars in pain. Inferno wrench! He has not arrived yet. Neither have they. Elora will... Help. Help for us. Elora will...

Turn into a dragon. She will ask you guys Because I don't really want to control her too much Should I deal with the skeletons or the dragon? It looks like you have the dragon knocked I can probably take out all the other skeletons Sure She will summon an ice storm on the skeletons

Woo How many other skeletons? There's ten more No, he took out ten on one heart on one side So he blew up, took out one ten. Right. Allura's going to take out the other ten on the other rampart. So imagine you've got, like, a long stretch of wall,

dragon in the middle, and there was two groups of skeletons. But there are more skeletons, like, filtering up as well. The dragon's taking flight, yeah. Not yet, no. It's not had its turn yet. All of the skeletons die. Oh, sweet boys. The ten or the seventy?

The ten. Okay. I mean, I will just roll 70? The 10. I will just roll them in just in case. I've got 20 of the 70s. Pretty good. Oh, the 84. Yeah, I mean there is some drag. I will just roll just to make sure. Sweet! I saw a drag! No, mother. No, mother.

She kills all of the other skeletons, they just crumble. Aww. This storm of ice... ...smashes the skeletons to pieces. Poison. Poison? Poison! Poison! Sorry, I'm like controlling a lot of things right now.

Uh... I believe it is Alzra's go. I'm going to cast Cloud Kill on the dragon. Okay. Sure. Are you going to try and target it so it doesn't hit Juto, I'm assuming? Yes. Okay, so it's kind of like you're targeting his chest area. Yes.

The vapors come up. So tell us, Cloud Kill, go. Cloud Kill. is that actually a spell yeah yeah so it's a poisonous fog that i'm gonna exhale from my mouth and it's gonna go around this dragon and it's gonna take 5d8 poison damage saving throw saving throw con 17 please five big poison damage i'm immune to poison You're immune to poison 18 spell save God

Half damage 5d8 I know Oh 6, 12, 13 She rolled 666 I did roll 666 That's brutal

You've got 18, 19, 21, 22 So 11 11 Yeah but still You got to cast Cloud Kill I did roll 666, that's brutal. You've got 18, 19, 21, 22, so 11. 11! Yeah, but still, you got to cast Cloud Kill. Cloud Kill! It's noxious vapour, and it remains, I think. I think it stays there. Yeah, it stays for 10 minutes.

Okay. So concentration's there. I believe until it's blown away by a strong gust of wind. 10 feet away from the start of EQ, a turn's rolling on the surface of the ground, the vapour's being heavier than air, sink to the lowest level of the land, even pouring down opening. So it's gonna, it's gonna fall on us. It's gonna fur them. Well, at the end of your turn, the dragon's wings begin to beat.

Viciously. It's gonna take its secondary legendary action, Wing Attack. Each creature within 10 feet, so Juto, not you. You're on top of it. It's still within 10 feet of the creature. I Think just just you toe at this point, but it's people underneath Now they're like 70 feet below it So, okay, but the the wing is enough to disperse the cloud kill it just kind of like just blows the cloud kill away It does not want to be doing that. Can you make a dexterity saving throw, please? Due to.

Roll. So I have an advantage on those? Nope. Because of evasion? No, evasion means that if a saving throw would allow

you to save a half. Effects that use a dex saving throw. Yeah, effects that use a dex saving throw, if you would normally take half damage from

a success, you take no damage and half on a failure. That's how evasion works. 24. success, you take no damage and half on a failure. That's how evasion works. 24. 24, you succeed. Nope, you just basically take nothing.

However, the dragon does take to the air and basically raises about 20... I don't know, it can go up to half its movement speed. It will go 40 more feet into the air, so it's about 110 feet off the ground now so it's about 110 feet off the ground now. It's about 110 feet off the ground. Off of the tower, though. From the tower, it's 40 feet off.

But from the ground of the cliff face below, it's 110. If I jump off right now, it's all right. You could jump onto the side with the walls, yes. You could just jump onto that side. That was at the end of Azra's go. can Buckland? here unless you would like to do anything else as a bonus action you can come on the bone bros I can come on the bone bros come on the bone bros okay come on the gungaroos I will okay quickly I'm gonna get famine and pestilence to shoot their bows at the dragon sure go for it

should I do 1d20 for both of them or No, you can roll them separately Because it's only two creatures Part of your character Nat 1 and 14 Let me just have a look at my equipment real quick Longbow D, that's a plus 8 So that one's a 9 And that one is a 23 That's going to hit

Cool, so this boy gets a d8 plus 3 The bonus, that is a 7 7 points of damage Good boy Hey, it all helps. Claps for voice. Famine. Buys a mean looking arrow, thuds into the creature's hide.

Can but close. So it's just gone away. It's flown up 110 feet from you. Big fan. In which case... You can hear the rattling of bones and creatures behind the walls above you. If I was to climb this cliff face... Yes. You can hear the rattling of bones and creatures behind the walls above you. If I was to climb this cliff face, and I use my 30-foot movement, can I just cling on halfway up?

Yeah, you just continue moving. Looking at the ramp around the side, how far is that? It's pretty far, because obviously that's not to scale. It's quite far. The far is that? It's pretty far because obviously that's not to scale. It's quite far. Like, the tower is enormous. You're probably talking like 100 feet just to where it begins to ramp around. In which case I will dash so I make it to the top of the cliff face.

You're going to climb? Athletics check. Easy peasy. This is going to be the best roll ever. Yeah? Six. Good. Easy peasy This is going to be the best roll ever Yeah Six You just, you can't make progress You get about ten feet up And you're just like It's hurting your hands It's not in the grips

It's scraping you to pieces Um Kalisa looks down and it just shakes her head. Would you like to do anything else? So that was just your movement. Can we get a hand? Yeah.

I think Khaleesa will look over at Reynard like are you going to or? I'm in the air. So is she. She's fine. Right, she's next to me. Sure. Sure. Alright, you please go. Are you just going to delay? I'm going to delay an action, which is I'm going to cast Dawn, which is a 40, 30 foot, 40 foot.

I think that's a 40th level spell. Yeah. On the dragon. Okay. When it's in range. Okay. Sure. I love it. So. dragon. Okay. When it's in range. Okay. Sure. I love it.

So, right. Dragon! Dragon's go! It's a dragon! There's a lot of you at the base of this cliff, isn't there? So, let's go over positioning. So, Elora is currently on the ground in the middle. Juto is on the dragon.

Yeah. Bone Bros. Yeah. Bone Bros... He's up here. Yeah. Bone Bros plus Alzra plus Cam are all down below. He's up on the wall. Yeah. This guy's flying around.

He's flying around. Okay, so the maximum number of creatures it can hit in its icy blast is the dragon basically flies down. So it turns around and flies down. So your thing will go up as well as its thing. But it points at you. It's about 60 feet in the air above you as you and the others are all on the base around the thing. And it breathes a cone of frost down on all of you. I need you, the Bone Bros, and Alzra

to all make dexterity constitution saving throws. Should I cross the Bone Bros now? Yeah, they're strapping me dead. I would remove the Bone Bros now. Yeah. Because half damage... Goodbye. We will meet again.

I'm not going to roll. I'm just going to use the average damage on this. I'm not rolling this. 15. Don't laugh at that. Constitution. Con, that is a 7. A whole 7.

An entire 7. Alzrah, Kanbucklin and the Bonebrows, you take 54 points of cold damage. Now is anybody resistant to cold damage? I needed that temp HP. Yeah. Oh, that temp HP was a great call. Yeah. You should have been at full HP, by the way,

because you did take a long rest. Yeah, I am at full HP. Yeah, but that temp HP absorbs a lot of it. So that kind of false life, this grave-like pallor that you conjured, absorbs a ton of it, and then you get the remaining cold blast. You take 54 points.

Because I was like sliding back down I'm just like blasted with ice. You're just blasted. I just peel away. So there's like a cam shaped silhouette. Yeah like in the wall where it's covered in rime and frost there's a cam shaped hole. As he slides down. Can I just put one finger

up and cast dawn? Now you cast dawn. Thank you. He cast it anyway, it didn't move. I can dawn thank you it's a cylinder it's a 30 foot radius with 40 foot height so it's going to hit you might not target its face so how tall is it 40 feet yeah then you can do it without hitting juto yeah yeah you can conjure it basically directly under the dragon and i can move it every round okay Okay, sure. So what do I do? It's a con saving throw.

Con saving throw. It loves these. You guys keep giving it con saving throws. It loves them. It's a chance, though. Oh, my God. I rolled a three. 14. Boom.

Wow. That's a fail. That's garbage. Yes. Is it plus 11 to that save? Wow. But it's dead, so. So what are we talking?

4d10. 4d10 4d10 Wow Thanks I mean yeah All my guys are here You can always just use them bro Pow

One One No 18 18 points Whoa But it You can move it And like keep doing it Every round right It's like moonbeams 18 points. Whoa. But you can move it and keep doing it every round, right? It's like Moonbeam. It's like mega Moonbeam.

But it's dawn. Yeah. So you watch as this kind of column of golden light. You struggle and there's almost a moment where you're worried that Evandra's not going to answer and then just Yeah, buddy! It burns through. Yeah, absolutely we're kind of frosted so that was on the dragon's go drag that's the whole dragons turns it flew and it did its breath weapon undead on the ramparts are destroyed but then

more begin moving up another 20 undead take the thing more begin to basically climb down you see like undead begin climbing down the walls and you can hear more kind of like scampering around the sides as well. Alright, brand new round. Juto! Juto! I'm going to attack, extra

attack and then Step of the Wind to get off this thing. Okay. So, first attack. 8 and 12 is 20. Hits. And it can't take any cold damage, right? It does take cold damage, so don't worry about rolling. So that is 11 regular damage, 1 fire damage, and a stunning strike, please. DC DC 16 so that was 12 damage so was 11 normal and one fire yep and then stunning strike con save 16 ooh fails 4 plus 11 is 15 oh I will use a legendary resistance to succeed instead Bleh Bleh Second attack is

17 plus 12 Hits 8, 9, 10, 11 11 more damage Plus 4 11 plus 4, 15 Fuck it I'm going to stunning strike that one as well. Let's do it.

Spend those key points! Natural 20. Okay, um... So I'd like to step in the wind, which means I can disengage. Yep. Um, so where am I? Like, so I'm... Where...

Because we moved. It was... The dragon moved. You're kind of riding on on its back It was 60 feet Up in the air Above camp So it's 60 feet Off the base

Of the The furnace itself Not on the walls It flew down It's got a full 60 feet I can hear you Slow fall

She's got slow fall She literally Can ignore that Yeah So you just jump down I'm just wondering Whether or not To jump onto the

You could You could jump From it Onto the rampart Yeah And be surrounded by skeletons and then fuck them up. Yeah, I'll do that.

Because my jump distance doubles. You just land in the middle as the rest of these skeletons pile in and sensing a melee threat, a bunch of them drop their bows. About eight of them drop their bows and pull out blades from their ribcages or something. They just like

and they march on to fight Cheeto at the end of your go the, nope, dragon's not actually in orange it's only got a 15 foot reach

yep okay that's annoying Juto at the end of your go there's that, Reynard could I have the griffin focus down one thing

while I do my own separate turn or am I, okay sure why not can you fight an army of undead in the dragon and more stuff that's not arrived yet yeah what carry on okay could I have the Griffin fly like along the ridge at the top and just I mean it's made of bronze just you want to just try and plow into all the skeletons while I'm shooting at the dragon? Sure. That's very cool.

Sure. Yeah, make a melee attack for the griffon. Okay, because it turns out there's like a beastmaster bonus for the griffon as well. So it has my proficiency bonus added to it. You're not a beastmaster, though. Don't care. You're not a beastmaster. But it says...

Doesn't know. Ranger companion. Yeah, but it's not. You're not a beastmaster. Yeah, but it's... You're a hunter. But it's mine well you're not a beast monster yeah but if you're a hunter but it's mine just roll the normal attack please Thomas all right it does sorry 19 19 yeah okay roll damage for it like its main biggest its most damaging attack one day able to be sick fine okay what I'm gonna say is it barrels in and make a deck save these

skeletons nope so it plows through two or three of them right and just sends them flying just like kills two three of them but it's not in a lot of them kind of like either turn away or they're

you know the griffon is kind of unwieldy and it kind of smashes through and you're still trying to aim on it at a certain time

but it takes out about three of them and then you turn around and shoot with the crossbow towards the thing cool because I'm going to cast lightning arrow.

Okay. So the next time I hit I do something cool. Okay. And I shoot twice. Sure. So boom.

Sharp sugar. I said it before the results came out. You did? I will give it to you. Wish I hadn't. Let's see what you get.

I don't mind. I like you guys doing lots of damage. It's fun. Then he does lots of damage back. 13, 17. Neither here. Bolts go flying. No, sorry.

I'm really dumb. It's minus 5, not minus 10. Yes. So, 18, I'm really dumb. It's minus five not minus ten. Yes, so 18 22 Cool it was this guy's last ten damage minus five to the attack. Yes. I thought it was minus ten Roll your down. I don't know what the plus was To d6 1d 8 Right now 2d6 1d8 Who do we appreciate?

Raynard! The Voidwalker. 14 plus 6, so 20 for one of the shots. The other one, the Lightning Arrow is 4d8. Does that one also do Thunder damage? No. And the lightning arrow is... 48.

Does that one also do thunder damage? No. Hunter's Mark? Yeah, Hunter's Mark it would still fire. I love ringer. I mean, maybe it doesn't, but I'm saying it does. Five... Come out in a YouTube comment.

Yeah. Seven. Bruh. Twelve. He's paralyzed byh. Seven. Bruh. Twelve. He's paralysed by numbers. Twenty. Is that plus six as well or no? No. No, it doesn't get you a bonus, no.

Twenty lightning. Bolt. Thuds in. Feel the dragon come off. Is there anything within ten feet of that? Of ten feet of the dragon? No, otherwise it'd be attacking other people. Okay, cool. Everyone's fucking run away from it.

Forty Dimashios. Forty Dimashios. I like it a lot. Khaleesa will... You didn't go and help Cam. Oh, yeah. Cam looks like... I don't think she thinks you're very good.

She just thinks you're a bit shit. So she's going to shoot the dragon three times. Yeah. First one hits. She's got to hit. Plus 25, that hits. Second one misses. Third one misses.

She only hits once that time. Seven plus 14, 25 total damage. seven plus kind of help 14 25 total damage so you watch as another fucking arrow

like thuds into the dragon another fucking arrow thuds into its neck and just unnecessarily aggressive

the wound the flesh around the arrow just turns black as whatever poison on her arrow seeps in. Sweet! Fucking arrow. It will use...

Okay, so it will use its wing attack, but nothing's within range of it. But then it gets to move down, and it will probably fly up towards Reinhardt. It will literally fly up next to you. But it doesn't pay anything. They've not arrived yet. Did it end its turn in the cylinder of light?

No, it moves out of it, actually. That's what it uses its wing attack to move. Elora, on her turn... How bad is Cam? How bad is Cam? how bad did how bad is Cam huh how bad is Cam half bad half bad

bit over half bad she will run over to Cam and cast Cure Wounds at 4th level thanks just because I know

it's not going to be a lot 13 14 19 hit points back ooh spicy thanks 13, 14, 19 hit points back. Ooh. Ooh. Spicy. Thanks.

Did you make a concentration check for Dawn? Can you make a constitution saving throw for me, please? DC would be 20. That's a 20. Then you keep concentration on it. Concentration maintained. Fingers still pointing. It's wagging now.'s still pointing. It's wagglin' now. It's wagglin'.

Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word! Ah ah ah! I can't do it after. Oh actually, what? Technically can't do it after the drop. Did you? Yeah. Yeah you did. Fair enough. Before we go, Alzrah, at the end of Cam's turn,

the dragon is going to try and tail attack Reynard. Better not. It is for a 23 to hit. 15 bludgeoning damage. Does that also hit the grifilum? No, it targets you. 15 bludgeoning? Yeah.

I'm just going to try and row through this very last turn, and then we're going to end the stream. So, Ausra. So, how high is the dragon? The dragon is now 60 feet above where you are. Damn. So,

if I were to say, create a column of skelly bros and climb up the skelly bros to get on the dragon... Sorry? So you would cast animate dead? Yep. And then have the bones form into, like, a tower of men? Yeah!

And then have them, like, carry you or you climb up? They lift me up and then, like, yeah so one holds me and then they sort of get up. So if every skeleton is, let's say an average of, let's be generous, six feet each, twelve, twenty-four. So how many would I need? They would lift you, I'd say they could lift you thirty feet and then you'd be within thirty feet of the dragon. Okay.

So, can I do that? Sure! Yes! You can't animate dead! I'll do that at level four Okay I haven't got any level five spell slots left Okay I think you get more skeleton then

Yes But there's no bones around Nearby There's bones up on the ramparts So you can drop them up there I've got the original boys You've got the original boys So many bones

So you do those four Then you can have two up on the ramparts Sweet And then yeah And I guess what I'll do is like I've got a rope So as like my bonus You want to lasso the dragon

I want to lasso the dragon There's a lot of fallback to it And try and like swing up onto it Oh no The anime did The bone boys column I'm just going to say happens Yes

But when you get up You kind of like start spinning the rope I mean this is going to be Make a ranged attack. As if you were using a ranged weapon. Okay, I've got my longbow. So use the same attack bonus for the longbow. D8 plus 3.

No, as in the attack bonus. Oh, the thingy, yeah, yeah, yeah. Plus 8. You've got to try and hit this thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Plus 8. 21. 21?

It catches onto one of its claws and then you yank it and you're now holding it on to this thing cool

you're about 30 feet underneath it and then I've got my I've got my I've got my action surge so then I take an extra action

so then just like swing up onto it what do you want to do just swing onto the dragon or do you want to do just swing onto the dragon or do you want to try and make an attack I want to swing on oh I could

try and make an attack you could like swing and then like oh yes okay can I swing and then can I use my nine life stealer

long sword yes and try and yes you can try and insta kill so you're still like getting some so with this action surge

you're like wait insta kill I haven't insta killedkill the ball. So you start like getting some, so with this action surge you're like, wait, insta-kill. I haven't insta-killed ever. And you swing yourself. It's this bendy. Make the attack roll, but you're gonna have disadvantage. Yep, yep, yep.

Because you are swinging. I'll do two d20s. Oh my god. Well you don't get the 20, but you do get the 18, so you hit. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

Oh my god. points but then I want to do the tell me what happens Rhiannon so the sword is 1d8 plus 1 charge if I score a critical hit against a creature that is fewer than 100 hit points it must succeed in a

dc 15 con saving throw or be instantly slain as the sword does it say it has to be a critical hit or just a hit against the creature says a critical hit I didn't get a critical hit!
