our previous campaign, Lightfall. 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 and continue our raid
on Arkham the Cruel's Dark Tower.
Hello, and welcome to a chaotic start
to High Roller's Lightfall's Descent.
The team were discussing vine memes before we went live.
That's how cool we are.
Welcome.
The team have come to Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells,
in search for the soul contract belonging to one of their old adventuring companions,
Trelamar Aleth, a drow warlock who sold his soul to Asmodeus
in exchange for basically helping them save their hometown city.
Upon doing so, they've arrived in Avernus.
They initially had some trouble at a place called the Ironclad,
a wrecked war machine ship up on the River Styx that has become beached,
and now the party have been
making some deals to try and get around Avernus. After the first one didn't go so well they made
a second one with an Eirinnys called Khaleesa. Khaleesa has tried to be as upfront as possible
with the party, explaining to them that she needs their help in dealing with another mortal who has come to Avernus to unleash Tiamat.
And so, in exchange for her help in combat,
as well as the location of two things they need to track down Trelma's soul contract,
the party has agreed to kill or remove from Avernus Arkan the Cruel.
Yes, Arkan the Cruel, wielder of the Hand of Vecna,
plundered from the world of Exandria.
The party have made their way into the blasted landscapes of Avernus and tracked down Arkhan's tower,
where they engaged in a battle against a white dragon and about 80 undead warriors
that have stormed and are slowly storming out of the castle keep
and
that is literally where we pick up
the white dragon having just been felled
we are
basically going to re-roll initiative
because I lost my initiative from the last time we played
as the battle
will continue
I guess you missed that one Katie
you really goofed up last time
you fucking goofed up the time before that.
We've been goofing this entire time.
We were very successful last week.
You were not very successful the week before.
Rhiannon was amazing last week.
Yes, she was.
Initiative.
Elora.

18.
You see before you a kind of scaled, maybe 50, 60 foot high cliff face that leads up onto the base of a plateau
where 20 foot high black iron walls covered in spikes and skulls surrounds a large dark tower. There is
about 20 undead currently on the walls themselves or with bows amongst them.
Juto currently stands amidst about in the middle of these hordes of skeletal
archers. Yeah you're there. You're like right in front of the tower.
Yes, Juto is currently on the wall.
I'm on the wall.
I'm near the tower.
Okay.
And I believe that we're going to just kick things off
right at the top with a Cam Buckland.
So there's currently no threats.
Yes, there is about 20 undead on the walls
and there are more
moving up onto the
walls or attempting to climb
over the walls and make their way down the cliff.
Wow, you really didn't read that one, did you? Seems like
there's not much going on.
Sure, not at all.
I'm going to
hold my action
and look up at Raynard
and do this with grabby hands.
Right, raise your arms and yeah, okay, sure.
What do you hold your action for?
He picks me up and puts me in a position
where I get close enough to some skeletons.
I believe your dawn spell is still active as well.
You hadn't lost concentration on that,
so you currently have the dawn spell active.
In which case I will move the dawn
spell. How far can you move it?
I can move it. Is it free
to do that? I believe it's like a bonus
action. 60 feet.
A bonus action. You can definitely cover
half of the skeletons on the walls with that.
I'm going to blast them with that.
Okay. What's the effect on the spell?
It is a constitution
saving throw. Will take 4d10 radiant damage, or half on a fail. Okay. What's the effect on spell? It is a Constitution saving throw will take 4d 10 radiant damage or half on a fail. Okay. Well, they what's your spot ABC?
20 a
non-natural 20
Should just say on the spot was 18 18. So they do succeed so they're gonna take half damage, but they are any skeletons 40 10
40 10 I think I've got like, what, 7 health?
I don't know.
10.
14.
14.
14.
14.
14.
11 damage each.
11 damage each.
Okay.
Is that 10-10?
I believe that.
It's actually exactly needed to kill them.
No.
Alza, what's the HP on your Skelly bros?
13.
Oh, 13.
Aww. Yeah, but do they not have armor bits, though?
No, that doesn't affect their HP.
That affects their AC.
So you watch as this brilliant golden column of light
surrounds half of these skeletal arches on the walls.
And you can watch as their bones begin to bubble
and blister and boil as the marrow pops
and they begin smoldering,
this divine light being conjured down,
even here in the depths of the hells
but they are still standing
yeah I'll save my action until
Raynard's griffon picks me up
and at which point
I will cast
I guess I can't cast another
spell with dawn active
you'd lose the concentration on dawn
don't want to do that, so
I'll
just... Remove him.
Remove him! He's our friend.
I'll just get picked up by...
Okay. So you're just basically, like, motioning
for Raynard. Anything Raynard does, attack-wise,
I'll aid him.
Okay, sure.
From within, it'd be like
Robin Hood, where Maid Marian is holding your crossbow arm
and just whispering sweet nothings into your ear.
Okay.
Sweet and powerful.
But it's alcohol.
As those sweet whispers and stents of alcohol enter your lungs and nostrils,
you hear from the dark tower.
You see these iron portcullises near the tops of the tower begin to drop.
And you see draconic shapes begin to fly out.
Whee!
One, two, three, four.
Four dragons.
Oh, boy!
Take to the air.
Are they all the same size as the one we just killed? No, they look smaller. Oh, boy. Take to the air. Are they all the same size as the one we just killed?
No, they look smaller.
Oh, fine.
They are large, but there is a red, a green, a blue, and a black dragon.
Cute.
Flying out.
The green dragon will spy the bronze griffon as some sort of flying threat
and will basically make a dash.
They're going to have to spend their first turn basically just
flying down to get within
the battle, effectively.
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on.
Reynard.
I mean, knowing that,
I kind of don't want to go and pick Amma.
Because...
Sorry.
So... I mean...
Shit!
Poor dragons!
Wait, we took this one out in one round, so...
Can you leave?
So where Cam is, he's at the bottom of the big cliff, right?
Oh yeah, you can!
I'm actually climbing up a little bit, then I cast Dawn because I got frosted against
the wall.
Right.
And then I just put a finger up and did Dawn.
I've got 80 feet of flying with this griffon anyway so I can probably...
Yeah, I'm just going to go down.
That's who I need.
Pick Cam up.
That's who I need.
I need the Erenees, who's with you.
Oh yeah.
Right, I'll go down, pick Cam up with the griffin, talons, just grab him.
Then I'm going to...
Gently.
Sorry?
Gently, right?
No, no.
Like eagles from Lord of the Rings.
No, like they pierce your armor and you are now gloomy.
Can I fly Cam to the top of the cliffs?
Would that put him basically in the middle of the skeleton?
If you put him on the wall, yeah.
If you put him next to Juto, he'll be amongst all of the skeletons on the wall.
It's 60 feet to reach the base.
If you are...
Yeah, if you went down to pick Cam up, you'd have to then fly up to the top of the plateau,
and then the walls are about 20 feet above that.
So you could drop Cam off, but then there'd still be a 20-foot wall in front of him.
What's the speed on the griffon, actually? 80 feet. about 20 feet above that. So you could drop Cam off, but then there'd still be a 20 foot wall in front of him.
What's the speed on the Griffin actually, sorry? Is it 80 feet?
Oh, then yes, you can get him to the top of the wall.
Yes.
Top of the wall?
As you pick me up, you just look down
and my clothes are just flapping in the wind
and I'm just cheersing you and then just drinking wine.
So I'm being carried.
Sure.
I'm like, sure, drop me off.
I'm going to fly me and Cam to the top of the wall.
Have you seen the dragons?
Yeah, I have actually.
I'm going to drop both of us off
and then send the Griffin away
so it flies like away from me.
Okay.
Hoping to...
I mean, yeah, you've used its movement to fly you and
cam up the wall it's full movement fine i'll i'll stop here then like i've disembarked from it so i
guess it's next to me or whatever yeah um and then we're amongst the actually you could have its
action to dash 80 feet away from you oh sure yeah sure. I'll have it dash then. So it's gonzo now.
Well, it's flying.
That's not a suitable
mini, I don't think. But it works.
How many
Skelebobs are here? On the wall?
There's 20.
Half of them do look very injured, however.
Cool.
I'll do... Are you on the...
I'm on the wall.
So you can basically choose the injured half or the non-injured half,
and there's 10 on each side.
Juto's in the middle, and now Cam and Reynard land next to you.
So you've kind of got the three of you fighting back-to-back.
Awesome. I do feign...
Where are you going?
I feign death.
That's just the griffon.
That's the griffon.
Okay.
It's going away.
And Reynard went onto the wall with me. Okay, okay. Yeah, Reynard's here now. No. That's the Griffin. Okay, it's going away and Raynaud went onto the wall with me. Okay. Yeah
Are we surrounded by
Skeletons yes, did you did you drop us where I just shot torched a load of dawn ones and they're all weak
What I think we're like right in the middle of the torch thrown in you're like on this rampart of a iron
Spike studded wall
And you've currently got
10 on one side 10 on the other
One 10 looks very injured
But there are more in the grounds
Of the tower like on the stairs
Like piling up you see
Dozens more
And I think there's only 60 undead
Because you did destroy 20 in the first session
So there's 60 undead
It's like another 40 undead
just swarming the base of these
stairs. Where are the dragons at the moment?
At the top of the tower, so they're flying
down. Let's just get rid of the
adds first. Has anything opened
up at the base of the tower? No, not yet.
They've come from the top of the tower.
One dragon was where Reynard
is. A green one, yeah.
Right, I'm going to use Conjure Barrage on the uninjured half.
Aid!
Can you aid that?
He said he's going to aid.
It's a save, though.
It's a spell save.
I'm going to un-aid all the skeletons you're attacking.
Bane.
Roll the Conjure Barrage.
Sure.
In which case,
can I retcon?
No.
Oh, I don't need...
You prepared your
action to aid Reynard.
I pledged to Reynard.
The action that he is
doing, you are helping.
You're like, you know,
covering his back.
Get them!
It doesn't have a
mechanical benefit.
Yeah, I don't actually
have to roll it.
It's a dex save for them.
So, dex save on a
bunch of skeletons.
Seven.
Stop this! Stop getting cocky about things!
It's never gonna work!
He's about to kill ten skeletons.
Oh my god.
No I'm not.
Ten skeletons!
Wait, three d8.
Yep.
Seven nine damage.
Then you don't kill them, but you do.
With a crossbow you're kind of striking them, pieces of bone and armour and stuff.
Oh, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I. 7, 9 damage. Then you don't kill them, but you do.
With the crossbow, you're kind of striking them.
Pieces of bone and armour are splintering off,
but the skeletons remain uninjured.
The fresh ones.
Yeah.
They're in dawn, though, aren't they?
It does say that the damage type is the same as that of the weapon,
so do I get thunder damage on the Conjurer Barrage?
That's fair.
It means that the base types are the piercing damage damn it that is a very good so but you're you're pampering them
and as they kind of reach for you blast it's like a zombie movie where they're swarming around you
and you're like but yeah you're kind of knocking them back but not finishing them off i'm starting
to run away and i shoot the weak ones so i can get away. Cam. All right. I shoot Cam in the leg. We have a couple of...
Oh, no, Alza is actually first.
Alza.
Hello.
So you are near Allura, the corpse of the giant dragon.
You currently have a tower made of four skeletons
standing on each other's shoulders next to you,
and you're on top of it.
You're currently on top of that.
Like I said, she was only last week.
No, you're on the ground
because the dragon pulled you down as it died.
So you're currently holding onto a rope wrapped around the corpse's leg,
looking at this mess.
So cool.
Okay.
So let me see.
I don't know what kind of spell I want to cast. Do I still have anything up?
Because I've got two level fours marked up.
Is it call it his concentration?
I did Ice Storm, and I cast Cure Wounds got two level fours marked up. Is it Koleini's Concentration?
I did Ice Storm and I cast Cure Wounds at fourth level as well.
How far up is the dragon?
The dragon? I mean, Reynard wasn't very high. I'd say like 20 feet off the ground.
Cool! That's fun.
Off the ground up here or down there?
No, the one dragon is flown down to where Reynard were.
The other three are descending, but they've not had their turn yet.
Because they have unique initiatives.
Alza is very excited right now.
So I think she's going to make a charge up to the wall.
Go for a critic thing, see if there's any dragons in there.
There might be some dragons.
Or any large ones.
I think she's going to try and make her way up towards where the other guys are.
Okay so it's going to be an athletics check to try and climb up the cliff face.
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on.
That's an eight, so maybe not.
So is that total modifier?
That is on my total mod, yeah.
So you start trying to climb yourself up and it's,
you're just not making enough progress, like you're getting tired and you are climbing but
like rocks break away in your hands
you're scrabbling up like it's cutting up your arms
and legs and you're just not making any progress
against the
against the wall itself
and that's your movement and then your action
and my action can I then while I'm up there can I
raise a hand at
the green dragon? You only have a bonus
action left because it was your move
to get up to the wall and then your action to try and climb up.
What bonus action could I do?
Katie, you're going up next, so...
I don't know what to do!
That's okay.
I feel something can go into your place if you want.
Be badass!
Smash the butt.
The other dragon you like.
No, I'm good.
I haven't got to do anything else.
That's fine.
I'm just going to keep on climbing.
There needs to be another dragon.
There's one more. Yeah, thank you.
Keep on running.
All right, Elora.
Keep on climbing.
Hello.
Perfect.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Can I?
Yes.
My cast?
Yeah.
Wait.
How close are the skeletons together?
If I was to target an area
Tell me what the area size is
And I'll tell you basically how many you can hit
Oh no, it's each creature
Within five feet of the point
So you could hit eight
Can I
Do that please?
Sure. I'll cast Call Lightning.
Call Lightning. So you begin channeling
as this magical storm begins
to swirl overhead above Arkhan's tower.
Dark thunder clouds
rolling in, probably made of
smoke and ash.
And this red lightning
calls down.
So a dex saving three?
Yes.
That is a 11.
Red lightning.
You don't need to roll damage.
Because no matter which side they were so injured
by both Reynard and the Dawn.
What's that? 11.
11, yeah. You incinerate eight of them.
So out of the 20 currently up on the walls
only 12 are still standing.
Very cool.
And I will run up to the wall.
You look up at a big cliff wall stretching up in front of you,
about 50, 60 feet high, and then there's a 20-foot wall on top of that.
Interesting.
And there is also now a green dragon next to you.
He's next to me.
Well, about 20 feet in the air, like...
Yeah, can we use... It's just these are our Rosminis. next to you. He's next to you. Well, about 20 feet in the air, like... Yeah.
Can we use...
Let's just use our reverse vinnies.
Just for your benefit.
It's less for the stream, to be honest.
It's more for you guys.
Okay. Katie, you done?
And Laura, you done?
Yes.
The blue dragon
soars down from the sky
and will basically
Place itself on the edge of the walls
Looking down the walls
And it will let out
A 60 foot line
Of 5 foot wide lightning
So everybody in the walls
Make a dexterity saving throw
All of the skeletons
Are incinerated
Yay
There are still 40 more below
That have made their way
Up onto the wall So he destroyed the rest Yeah he he just is like... He doesn't care. What
sort of save? Dexterity. I mean there's 40 more so who cares? You get evasion on this.
Okay, that's not so bad. 16. 16. 12. 12. 22. 22. Reynard and Juto, you pass.
Juto, you have evasion.
You take no damage.
Do you also have evasion?
You have uncanny dodge, I think, don't you?
Oh, like, do I?
I don't know.
Don't think I do.
Yes, I do have evasion.
You also take no damage.
Cam Buckland, however, as Reynard and Juto acrobatically leap out of the way of danger, throwing themselves to the side,
your new chubbier self turns and you are struck in the chest by a bolt of lightning from this dragon's mouth.
Might be struck in the belly.
Sure, you take 55 points of lightning damage.
Right to the gut.
As you're thrown to the ground.
Is it like when you're wearing those electric pads that are meant to make you slim?
Are you immediately...
No.
Burns all the fans.
And that is its go.
After the blue dragon.
That sobered me up, though.
Perfect.
It's the black dragon's go.
Cool.
The black dragon will, seeing that it's blue brethren...
Oh, no, the green is already on Allura and Alzra.
So the black dragon will target
the three of you on the walls,
so Cam, Juto, and Allura.
Sorry, Juto,
Reynard, and Cam.
I will say that the griffon, when it flew away,
was trying to look as delicious as possible.
Like it was swinging its...
I mean, dragons are pretty clever.
They are pretty clever. They are pretty
clever. It is just
fleeing. And it is bronze.
Well, the black dragon
isn't. I'll tell you what, I'll have it make a
saving throw. See if it goes
see if it can
defeat its base instinct
to kind of chase after food.
What's that going to be?
15. Yeah, that's probably going to be enough. But it will see that the two of you kind of leap out of the way of chase after food. What's that gonna be? 15, yeah, that's probably gonna be enough.
But it will see that the two of you
kind of leap out of the way of the lightning bolt,
so it's actually just gonna swoop in
and try and make attacks against Reynard and Juto.
Not me?
No, because you've just been blasted
in the chest by lightning.
So it thinks that you're probably okay for now.
It will attack you next turn.
So we're gonna do one core against each of you
and then depending on who it misses,
it will try and bite you.
So this is with a...
Oh my God, trying to read these cards.
19 to hit you, Reynard.
Yeah.
Juto, that is a 10 to hit you.
Nope.
Reynard, you take 15 piercing damage
and four acid damage, so 19 total.
And Juto, it will try and bite you. Oh, just 11 damage on you Reynard 20 to hit you exactly so you
take 11 sorry no you take 15 plus 4 acid so 19 19 yes um can I these cards are very
small and I'm like can I cast hellish rebuke? You can Dexterity saving through?
Yep
That is a
16
So that's DC 13
Yeah because it will be based on your charisma
It's not your monk one
So it saves but it will take half damage
6, 7, 8, 9
So
Black
What's half a 9?
4
I'll write it down
So it takes 4 fire damage as you launch out with flames against the black dragon that
has descended. After the black dragon we go to Juto.
Okay, I will... So it's...
Which one's the black dragon?
This one here?
Uh, yes.
Yeah, I guess I'll attack black dragon.
Yeah, it's kind of just hovering.
It's about 10 feet, but I'd say that you can still make melee attacks.
Got the giant killer reaction thing.
Anytime anything large hits me, I can shoot back.
You must remember.
I keep forgetting.
Second favourite enemy all over again
Remember who you are
20 to hit
20 to hit against the black dragon
That is a hit
Do we have music still?
There we go
15 regular damage
15 against the black
4 fire damage, 3 ice damage
So 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
22 damage total. Oh can I stunning strike that? You can. Stunning. Constitution saving
through. That is a 25. So you begin pummeling with the Gwandow, so that's your first
attack with a Gwandow. Second attack with a G that's your first attack with a Gwendal second attack with a Gwendal come swinging around
seven plus 12 19 still hits
you guys have got this you're fine
shush
you never shush a DM
12 plus 10 is 22
so another 22 on top of that
pretty crap
nice
I would like to
flurry
yes so bonus action
so it's two 50s isn't it
two unarmed strikes
20 to hit Uh huh. Uh... Yeah, two unarmed strikes. Two unarmed strikes, okay.
Uh, 20 to hit.
Hits.
Uh, nine points of damage.
Another nine.
20 to hit.
20 hits.
Ugh.
Uh, six points of damage.
Six more points.
So you watch as with a flurry of blows, Juto strikes it once with Chainbreaker,
twice with Chainbreaker,
and then kind of pivots herself up,
kicks this black dragon squarely in the chest.
And it doesn't speak to you as other dragons have.
It just kind of roars in your face,
this animalistic, bestial...
Can I move so that we're not in a line?
Like, can I...
It's difficult on the wall.
Yeah.
Because at the moment, you're on, like, these Like, can I... It's difficult on the wall. Yeah.
Because at the moment, you're on, like, these very narrow walls.
I can't disengage with it.
No.
Sadly not.
Okay, I'll just have to risk it.
You can try and climb on it, but... I did that before, and everyone wants me to get off,
because they've all got AoE spells, so...
Um, so...
Hurry, you'll get off.
Another shape descends.
The red dragon,ends the red dragon the young
red dragon well
to you it looks
oh my god
just destroyed them
uh this one as two of them are
on the walls the red dragon will fly down
towards alzheimer and uh
elora but it takes its whole movement
to basically uh fly
down there.
So that's the red dragon gone.
I've got a lot of stuff to track here.
I'm so very sorry.
You should be more.
You should be very sorry.
The dragon to party ratio is looking kind of spooky right now.
Where's Twinny?
What's her face?
She has a turn, which is now.
The Eonis.
Yay! Kalisa. Kalisa. That is now. The Eonese. Yay!
Khaleesa.
Khaleesa.
That is now.
Does that mean the red dragon doesn't move yet?
It still does, but it's not going to do anything.
I don't really have a miniature for her.
Have we got another one?
We could put Lucius down.
Yeah.
There you go.
That's her.
Okay, sure.
So Khaleesa will fly down She will look at these
Numbers of dragons
And just kind of
She's like, yes we can deal with these
She will however call out like
I will have difficulty with the green one
Some of you should kill that one instead
And she pulls out her longbow
And begins taking potshots
Which one's green here?
That one, yeah
So she will target,
seeing as the blue one
caused considerable damage
on the rooftops,
she will target the blue dragon.
Blue eyes, white dragon.
Blue eyes, white dragon.
Her first attack is a 24 to hit.
Her second attack is a 15,
which is a miss.
Her third attack is also a miss, sadly.
However, it will take 7 plus 13, 20 poison damage. attack is a 15 which is a miss. Her third attack is also a miss sadly. However it
will take 7 plus 13, 20 poison damage. It must make also a constitution 7 throw
which it passes.
See my logic there. So that's like G for green.
So she takes a pot shot, two of the arrows bounce off the blue dragon scales but one thuds in the
familiar ichor of her longbow.
That's blue. Parrying down.
Then the red one flies down.
Those guys aren't here yet.
20 more undead will fill up onto the battlement walls.
The other color? Red.
Only several of them.
They can only make so many attacks against you
because it's so limited.
So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to have the undead
basically make one attack, but they'll have a higher attack bonus and they'll do higher damage
to represent them kind of swarming you guys and stabbing at you with weapons.
Awesome.
So Juto's currently in the middle, so we have Cam on one end, Reynard on the other.
Reynard, that's a natural 20 against you.
It doesn't...
Because you have the armor of Ashford, which is adamantine, so it's just a normal hit.
Two crits to me.
Cam, that is a 19 plus 8, so 27.
Yeah, totally use the crits.
So hits.
You both basically take 20 slashing damage.
I'm down.
However, I had death water myself, so I'm on 1 HP.
There you go.
Nice.
That's expired.
Damn.
So basically you're surrounded by all of these skeletons
who are just piling into you.
And even if you're kind of shoving them back
and pushing them away,
another one will step in
and they're just kind of swarming over themselves,
climbing up on the walls.
They're just mindlessly swarming around you.
That is the undead's go.
Cam Buckland.
I'm going to cast heal on myself 70 HP
70 HP
So I'm doing that at 6
Dawn is still active
Dawn I am moving it
Do you want to move it?
There is 20 more undead underneath it
As well as a blue dragon currently
I'll keep it there Okay So I just make the effect for that now rather than doing it on their terms because
i'll know i'll forget so the skeletons dexterity saving for yes or constitution uh i believe it's
constitution skeletons get a 12 blue dragon gets fail oh blue dragon might actually fail. That is only a 14. Nice. Full damage on both.
40, 10.
Sweet.
Being a bit loose on the balls with the skeletons
because that's a lot of skeletons to worry about.
Yeah.
Wow.
Nice.
28.
28.
Sweet.
Crap.
Everything.
The skeletons are obliterated.
So half of the skeletons on Cam's side,
sorry, on Raynard's side, actually,
are just incinerated.
Same thing.
And the blue dragon as well is pummeled
by this radiant energy falling down on top of it.
I guess I'm not taking that damage as well.
No, Cam can angle it,
so it's kind of hitting around, I would say.
Again, we're being very loose with the positioning because we don't have a full battle map
because I'm not going to worry about 60 miniatures.
Dear god, can you imagine?
One day, Reaction, can I, if I get hit by anything, can I just take a swig of wine?
Thank you.
Yes.
Sure.
It's the little details.
The little, little, whoppy details.
The green dragon. Even though I've taken an details. The little, little woppy details.
The green dragon.
Even though I've taken a night. The green dragon,
seeing its prey before it,
shall breathe out upon
Elora and Ausra,
who are attempting to climb up the thing.
A cone of poison.
So it moves up to you.
Can you make constitution saving throws, please?
Oh no.
My roll. up to you can you make constitution saving throws please do check to make sure you don't have any resistance system what'd you get I got a nine nine
twenty Alza you're gonna take 42 poison damage the Laura you will take 21
breath weapons of dragons your niece hit? Uranus as well
Uranus is actually
Flying up in the air
So no it doesn't
Okay
Nice
That's the green
The green
Oh I have to make
A constitution check
For my freaking spell
Right
Yes in fact
I should have made you
Do that for
Can you roll a constitution
Save me three
Please Cam Buckland
Yeah
Mine
Mine
You lose the spell
balls
okay
well you got one
extra use out of it
that you shouldn't
have normally got
so never mind
it was a good use
as well
Raynard
so
is a reaction
if I use an attack
as a reaction
do I still get
two more shots
as my action
yeah your action is separate to reaction reaction ignore reaction happens in triggering If I use an attack as a reaction, do I still get two more shots as my action?
Yeah, your action's separate to reaction.
Reaction happens in trigger of something else.
Cool.
On your turn, you can take your normal actions.
And how high up is this wall?
This wall's about 20 feet off the plateau.
So if I jump that, I'm done.
You're going to take some damage, yeah. I'll call back the griffon, pointless over there, and get it to attack the green.
Okay.
Sure.
Claude Barre.
So he is... he's got multi-attack, beak and claws.
Sure, just make the attacks.
I'm attacking Gren, yes?
Green dragon, yeah.
Unnatural 20 and 12.
Okay, the 20 hits.
1d8 plus 4, 7 damage.
7 points of damage as the griffon begins clawing into the green dragon.
Perfect.
That's one thing at least.
Can I run past Juto and Ken?
You can.
You'll be running towards 20 skeletons.
Yeah.
10 skeletons, sorry.
I'm leaving it.
Reynard just said,
so I've got them, it's fine.
Right.
Okay.
Good.
So you have a dragon currently
directly in front of you on one side of the wall.
Juto and Cam behind you,
and behind them is 10 skeletons
filling up one section of it. And the other way is another dragon. You can run under the dragon. The blue dragon is flying in the wall. Juto and Cam behind you and behind them is ten skeletons filling up one section of it.
And the other way is another dragon.
The blue dragon is flying in the air. You could try
and run underneath it. It'll just get an attack
opportunity against you. Yeah.
I think both of them will, won't they? Yes, they both will.
But they do have disadvantage when making
an opportunity attack against you because you're a ranger.
Yeah, I'll try it. Sure.
I want to run to the furthest corner.
Okay, so that is blue and
black dragons.
So they will both attempt to bite you.
That's their thingy.
So black dragon is a
19. With disadvantage?
Oh, sorry, yeah, with disadvantage.
That would be a 14.
Hey!
Well reminded, thank you.
18 on the blue dragon.
Is that with disadvantage?
That is with disadvantage.
Ah, all right.
So 16 piercing plus 5 lightning damage.
Oh, 21.
So to that one, I'll do the reaction.
Sure.
Shot.
That's bad.
My bone breakers have died.
Oh, 17.
Yes!
No, they're undead. They're immune to poison. Oh, okay, cool. Yeah, that's bad. Oh, 17. Yes! No, they're undead. They're immune to poison.
Oh, okay, cool.
17 to hit on the
blue. Whichever one hit me.
Not enough. It just bounces off
its draconic scale. Darn! Drat!
That was your reaction. My actual turn
now. It provoked its reaction by moving.
I'll do Hunter's Mark on
this black dragon. And then I'm do Hunter's Mark on this Black Dragon.
Yep.
And then I'm going to Sharpshooter it twice.
Okay.
Because I love Sharpshooter.
I hope he still loves Sharpshooter.
Well, 14 plus 11, 25 minus 5, 20.
Hits.
Perfect.
And then the other one is 18, 13, so it doesn't hit.
No.
This means Hunter's marked, Tom.
He won't remember.
1d6.
It's not even looking.
1d6. It's fine. I got it.
Don't forget the plus 10 damage from Shatshia.
Yes.
Bomb.
Oh, that's almost perfect damage.
6, 5, 11, 8, 19, plus 6, 25, plus 10, 35.
Wow.
Damn.
Yeah.
That's a lot of damage.
That's a lot of damage.
That is a lot of damage, yeah.
That's why this bolt didn't hurt.
It basically, whilst the first bolt maybe just glances off its armour,
that kind of gives you enough time to find a softer spot in between its plates.
The first shot weakened it, although the second shot went in.
Yeah, took it out, yeah. So the black
arrow of Bo
flies in and it kind of knocks
the black dragon back.
You done?
Yeah. You're done?
I thought he was waiting for a response.
Alzra.
So you currently have
this green dragon And a red dragon
Flying pretty much above you in Allura
How far am I from the top of the first wall?
Well it's just one big cliff face
I just drew it to represent that it's a tall cliff face
It's 50 feet high
But you made no progress getting up it last time
No progress
Okay
You just couldn't get enough of a grip
I guess I'm just going to stop You just couldn't get enough of the grip. Get a grip.
I guess I'm just going to stop climbing and get off the wall.
Okay.
And is that an action too?
No, you just haven't tried to climb again.
Okay, cool.
And then I'm going to... So you're like five, six feet up, and so you just drop.
Yeah.
You do take 3d10, 40 damage.
No.
You land awkwardly.
Okay.
What would you like to do?
I'm going to cast Ray of Sickness at level four on the red dragon.
Is it 60 feet away?
It's within 60 feet. Awesome. On the red dragon, Is it 60 feet away? It's within 60 feet.
Awesome.
On the red dragon, you say.
What must I do?
So you have to make a con save throw, 17.
16, fails.
And that's 2d8 poison damage.
Is that, but for fourth level, I think it goes up.
Damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above first.
So second, third, so it's 5d8.
5d8.
Wow. So I've got three tasty six ten that's 11
plus two more oh that's an eight and nine so nine another nine so 20 20 damage 20 poison damage And then as a bonus action, I would like to...
Yes, yes.
Ah...
Kind.
Hang on, where am I?
Yes, go on.
I would like to then cast Second Wind and give myself 10, a d10 plus 5 HP.
Love it.
Second Wind is a fighter?
Yeah.
So that's 11, 16 HP back.
Nice.
Great job.
Good turn.
Great d10 plus 5. Yeah. You got 11. Yeah.
Elora, she got 11. I got 11 on my D12.
Oh, it's D12. I rolled the wrong dice.
That was a D12 I rolled.
You got it. Spreading out a little bit.
Can I...
So you're just going to move away from Alza so he can't target you both.
Basically spread out.
The actual positioning is like the distances are not to scale, so.
Light, please.
On which one?
The green dragon.
Sure.
Yep.
I don't know if it's going to work, but.
Green dragon.
Okay.
What level?
Five.
And what save do I need to make?
Con.
Con.
Oh, that's pretty bad.
That's a 10.
That's a fail. That's a fail.
So, oh God, a 98.
What?
98.
Did you notice you're fighting a red, a green, a black and a blue dragon
and you killed a white dragon?
It's the colour of Tiamat's...
That's what I thought.
Oh, I thought you were fighting Voltron.
It reminded me of when we fought the hand of Tiamat.
I thought Tiamat had all the colours.
Yeah.
All the evil heads.
It doesn't have to be italics.
So we're fighting all the types of Chromat dragons there is.
Basically, yeah.
Cool, right?
That is cool.
Is this from the mod series?
If you can master this, you can master all dragons.
Maybe.
Maybe we can tame them and put them in some sort of boar
that we can then release.
How did this turn into Pokemon?
Everything is Pokemon.
Pate's desperately trying to count.
It's our fourth hour into D&D.
49.
49.
Woo!
49.
I rolled really fucking well.
Holy shit.
So you reach up and this sickly green light just emanates from your
perfect pale elven hands and it begins to wrap around the green dragon's legs as
they begin to wither and decay in front of your very eyes as it just roars in agony.
Good job it's not poison damage. So after Ellora it is the blue dragon's turn let's see if its breath weapon recharges
it does uh and sensing but cam avoided it but it's a lot of damage
i'm deader there now it's gonna save it for now. It is going to basically move towards...
That's the black dragon.
So the blue dragon will actually turn on Reynard
as it's the closest target.
And Reynard, it's going to make three attacks against you.
Two claws and one bite.
That is a...
That's an 18 to hit.
That's the first claw. Second that's a 18 to hit. That's the first claw.
Second claw is a 15 to hit.
No.
The bite is a...
Oh, yeah.
That's a 23.
Yeah.
So you're going to take 12 slashing damage from the first claw from the claw attack.
And you take another 21 from the bite.
16 normal, five lightning.
So what's that?
That's 21, 33.
It's just tearing in.
I don't have a reaction anymore, do I?
No, you've used your reaction.
Okay.
That is the blue dragon's go.
I've got to try and find everybody, god damn.
Has there been a dawn since we've been here?
He lost the spell.
No, I mean... Oh, no, there's no... you don't know when time replenishes. Yeah. Just don't know if my black dwarf blade has replenished. You don't know yet sadly.
The black dragon will do the same thing it tried to do before which is to
attack Cam and Jutu. So Cam one claw against you is a... 13? No. Juto one claw against you is a 13.
No.
Juto, one claw against you is an 18.
No.
One bite against Juto, probably, is a 17.
No.
No.
All three miss as it's rained down claws and teeth and you're fending it off with your glaive
and Cam kind of dodging out of the way,
swinging from side to side.
Tiny bug though.
Yeah, like...
There's bites around it. After the black dragon's go, it is the red, oh, Juto, sorry, and then
it's the red dragon. I guess I'll keep Waylon on black dragon. Okay. 14 plus 12 is 26. Hits.
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.
21 hits.
Points of damage.
Oh, 21 points of damage.
Yep.
That's a different story.
Do you know what?
I'm going to try and stunning strike it again.
Why not?
Okay.
I don't think it's the best idea, but...
What's the DC?
16.
Uh, 11.
It is stunned!
It is stunned, it will fall to the ground, which is 20 feet, so it takes 2d6 of bludgeoning
damage.
That doesn't sound right, Stunning Strike never works.
I know right?
It works on Felania!
3.
3?
Um, which is actually actually The fall kills it
You spin around and you kind of
Tear one of its wings
Bloodied and bleeding
It spins down and then as its neck
It kind of twists
Its neck hits the ground and snaps
The body just collapses
All of the other remaining dragons
Roar in unison at one of their
Fallen brothers Sorry about that That was your first attack, you can still move and attack again All of the other remaining dragons Roar in unison At one of their fallen brothers
Sorry about that
That was your first attack
You can still move and attack again
Yeah I'm going to saunter over to this other dragon
Saunter
Yeah well you kind of run along the walls
I'll keep running
Most importantly what kind of run do you do
Not a Naruto run
Then you're hit by bullets
Not in Area 51.
Leave me alone.
Break into Area 51.
No.
Stop it.
Don't do this to us.
Our integrity.
We don't have any of that.
Yeah, I guess I'll second attack Blue Dragon.
Do it.
19. Hits.
Your attack bonus is ridiculous.
What is the attack bonus?
It's not that far off Reynolds.
Yeah, mine's 11. Cam's not very good at fighting.
7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
19 points of damage?
Nineteen points of damage.
And do you know what?
Let's Stone Stroke this one.
Hey, worked out last time.
This is blue.
Oh my god, in six seconds these two dragons are just going to look around and both are just going to...
Fourteen!
Stunned.
Holy shit.
Does it fall anyway?
It would fall.
It takes 2d6 damage.
As it falls to the plateau, it takes 6 more points of damage.
Oh my gosh. We have to face the worst dragon of the war.
Let's see...
Um, yeah.
These aren't smaller than a lot of the dragons you've ever fought.
But there's 4 at once.
So if I was to jump down... You could jump down.
You've got Slow Fall, so you won't take damage.
Okay. And it is now prone.
You don't need slow fall if you're going to stab it in the head.
Do you have advantage?
Yeah, you have advantage if you want to make two unarmed strikes.
So I'm going to do flurry and do...
Yeah, yeah.
I'm the autocorrect.
I'll do...
No.
No.
Oh, it's stunned.
You might be wrong.
So...
It's incapacitated.
Can't take actions or reactions.
Incapacitated means... Can't take actions or reactions. No, it's not paralyzed. It's stunned. It's not... But, can't take actions or reactions. Incapacitated means?
Can't take actions or reactions.
No, it's not paralyzed.
It's stunned.
But you do have advantage.
It can't move or speaks falteringly.
Auto strength fail.
Auto dex saving throws.
Attacks against the creature have advantage.
Crikey.
Paralyzed.
Paralyzed.
So two unarmed strikes, the first one.
So it's still moving, but it's kind of groggily and it's like... 25 to hit.
Hits.
And then it's...
Can you just calm it down a little bit?
You're making us look bad.
Juto has always been the glass cannon of this group.
Like, if I properly hit Juto,
if she didn't dodge that
lightning bolt and took 55 damage that's a lot of health um eight points of
damage eight points 21 to hit it's what is this turn how many attacks you know
she gets four attacks when she's so much so you're just pummeling this dragon's musculature.
You're pummeling it with these magically ki-enhanced fists.
But it's still standing.
It's still up.
It's still standing.
Better than I ever did.
And I've kind of gone down with it as well.
Yeah, sure, yeah.
Khaleesa, the Irinese, you hear like a clapping,
and she kind of gives you a little salute from the thing.
A fine warrior, she calls out. And then she will target. She likes Alzera, so she's going to target the red dragon with her longbow.
I get it. It's the most fitting in this situation.
First attack hits, second attack misses, second attack hits.
I'm home. Doing, yeah, 20 points each time. First attack hits, second attack misses Second attack hits Doing
Yeah, 20 points each time
She does 40 points of damage to that dragon
Which heavily injures it
You see these thick, long, wide arrows
Just thud into this red dragon
That just kind of screeches
And it's probably
The red dragon's probably
It's not that big It's actually quite small It's probably, the red dragon's probably, it's not that big.
It's actually quite small.
It's probably about the size of like a very large dog,
like a, you know, St. Bernard.
Oh, is it?
It's only a little babby.
And these arrows just kind of thud into it.
That's a little babby.
It just starts like whimpering and flying around.
How are these things though?
Yeah.
Imagine an adult.
So they're like drakes.
That was the iranese no it's a
wormling it's a wormling wormlings shut up it's gonna take some time
oh it should have gone before the iranese but i'll just do it now um it will turn on alzra
the red dragon and it will just breathe fire it breathes like will turn on Alzra, the red dragon. Oh. And it will just
breathe fire.
It breathes like a cone
of fire on you
and the bone bros.
Oh my god.
So dexterity saving throw.
Dex save.
Dex save.
Oh.
Dex saving throw from you
and then a dex saving throw
for the bone bros.
Oh, why are my rolls garbage?
Dex is plus three.
That is 14.
That's enough to pass.
You're going to take
half damage.
Let's see what the bone bros do.
Oh, they did a lot worse.
They're great.
Bone Bros are destroyed.
I had plans for them!
They're incinerated.
Can you just bring them back next time?
Just collapsed.
Can we animate the skeletons that we've beat here?
Yes, you can.
I could just be like, give me some bones.
There's enough bones around.
You're gonna take 12 points of fire damage, Altra.
12 points, cool beans.
I'd like your finest bones.
Damn, I had plans.
Bones.
Bones.
Those of you who are within sight of the tower, you can just go and get some bones.
I'm gonna go and get some bones.
I'm gonna go and get some bones.
I'm gonna go and get some bones. I'm gonna go and get some bones. I'm gonna go and get some bones. I'm gonna go and get some bones. I'm I'd like your finest bones. Damn, I had plans.
Those of you who are within sight of the tower,
which is Reynard and Cam Buckland,
you see the giant metal doors of the tower open.
There's so many doors to this.
Emerging, and there's a bated breath as this dust begins to settle. You see a
reptilian foot
as a
turtle with
a black shell engraved with
runes and a skull
painted across its face
with a big war hammer
tipped with two giant skulls
begins making his way down
the steps slowly,
flanked by four ghouls.
What the mother?
And we have to fight Arcan after this?
Who's disturbing Master Arcan's work?
You wretched creatures would dare
sail his lord's sanctum.
Is that T Tal talking?
Or am I really drunk?
No.
Both, I think.
Both.
How close is it to us?
Is it just there?
Yeah, it's at the front and he's making his way round.
I mean, it's tall.
But he reaches, he kind of reaches the edge of it, looks up.
He sees Reynard.
That wretched thing.
Points his finger up and a cloud of gas fills the air around Reynard.
Should we just, like, run in the tower and shut the doors behind us?
You can try.
He's in front of them, though, isn't he?
Right, he's just moved out of them.
I'm going to put giant goat as the total.
Close enough. Close enough.
So, I've been tooted on.
Cloud kill.
20-foot radius sphere of poisonous yellow things.
There's little of them.
I mean, this would be on the start of your turn, so just do it now.
Make a constitution saving throw for me.
Nine.
Nine? Sure. Nine?
Sure.
I'm dead.
It's kill me.
It's called cloud kill.
Like, if this doesn't
kill me, what will?
Clouds.
It's not going to kill you.
It might.
It might.
I've not got a lot.
20 points of poison damage.
But the cloud remains
around you.
Oh. So if he starts
his turn there.
When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time
or starts its turn there. So when it casts
a spell, it triggers, and then at the start of your turn, it's going to
go again. You're going to have to make the same throw again.
Oh, you're fucked.
The ghouls just surround
the tortle protectively, and he kind of
whispers something to it like,
Ah, protect me
from these wretches.
The remaining
skeletons on the wall are going
to swarm the only target they have left,
Cambuckland, for a
26 to hit.
It scrapes it, yeah.
That's going to be another 20 points of
slashing damage as you're surrounded by
skeletons on all sides. They're just surrounding you atashing damage. You're surrounded by skeletons on all sides.
They're just surrounding you at this point.
Okay.
You're like a little lone beacon of flesh and blood
amongst a crown of bones.
Wicked.
We go back up to the top with Cam Buckland, in fact.
Okay.
Guys, one at a time.
I'm going to pull down my trousers.
What?
Everyone dies.
Pull down the new trousers that you were given.
Everyone dies.
And cast Turn Undead, which is also Destroy Undead.
So it's a Wisdom saving throw, please.
Wisdom saving throw.
I'm just going to make it for...
Does it hit the ghouls?
Do you know what?
I technically have to roll this individually. It's not going to hit the ghouls? Do you know what? I technically have to roll this individually.
It's not going to hit the ghouls.
They're a bit too far away.
I'm just...
You are a powerful enough cleric.
You incinerate the undead around you with the holy light.
Be gone, power beasts of the night!
Drop trousers and a light brighter than the brightest star.
Oh my god.
I just annihilate the undead on the walls.
Put them up.
Pull string.
They're like jogging bombs.
And as my bonus action.
Yeah, they were velour jogging bombs.
Sure.
Bonus action.
Yes.
Healing word.
Yes.
At seventh level.
On?
Raynard.
Seventh level?
At seven defaults.
While you're rolling that,
I will...
The green dragon will continue its assail against Allura.
Did I have my own turn last round?
You cast Thingy.
I can't remember what I did.
You did.
I did, yes.
Okay.
So Allura, the dragon is going to try and attack you.
This is the green dragon.
22.
Yeah, you just kill yourself.
That's a level spell.
12.
That's a bonus action.
10 to hit.
No.
Fucking natural one.
8 to hit.
No.
Ha ha!
Dragon desperately...
We'll see if its breath weapon recharges. It doesn I'll see if it's breath-taking
recharges. It doesn't. Yeah, it's
desperately trying to hit you, but you're defending it
with the moonbow and staff in hand,
fending it off as it's desperately trying to
get purchased to claw and bite
towards you. After
the green dragon, it goes to
Reynard Feralhorn! Okay,
so, the one that I had
the bonus Hunter's Mark on
It's dead
Use a bonus to...
No, it's on...
No, you put it on black and the black's dead so you can move it to the blue
Don't forget that he's stunned
Don't forget that he's stunned by the way
Yeah, but you're about to bite it, aren't you?
Oh no, I bit my face off
I'm gonna get out of this rare sickness
Not rare sickness, it's death fog
Yep
How far do I need to move?
If you use your movement, it is a
20 foot radius, and you are in the middle
of it, so one movement will get you out
of it. Sure. I'll move enough
to get out of that.
Sorry, who of these dragons at
the bottom are looking most spooky?
The green one,
fighting Allura. The red one
seems quite small and baddy.
Yeah, I feel bad about killing that one. Cool, I'll put Hunter's Mark on that one then.
And I'm gonna give it the old 1-2.
With Sharpshooter. Sorry, I didn't say Sharpshooter before and it's a natural 20!
Mark!
No!
Yeah, but it's a nat 20, it's a crit. So you still get a crit. 20! Mark! No. No!
Yeah, but it's a nat 20, it's a crit.
So...
It's still a crit.
You still get a crit.
Okay, I also have a 20 on the other hit as well, unnatural 20 on the other hit.
So both of those will hit.
So crit-wise, I'm going to use the new crit rules.
So it's maximum, whatever the maximum on the base dice is.
Including Hunter's Mark?
That will maximise, but you won't get to roll it again
right okay so 866 then roll another d8 12 18 and another d8 and another d6 yeah
five and four would I say last time 18 yeah yeah and then 22 27 with that shot. 27. And then the second shot.
3, 9, 5, 14, plus 6.
Plus 6 again because I didn't do it on the first one.
26.
26.
26 and 27.
Yeah.
Well, the first one is 33.
What?
Because I forgot to add the plus 6 on the first crit.
What?
We'll call it 26 and 27.
Okay.
It's a lot of damage is what it is.
That's 50.
Yep.
I'm just going to trust you.
Like, I'm trying to look up spells.
Free damage.
You annihilate this green dragon.
Balls from the top of the walls just rain down into the back of this green dragon. Balls from the top of the walls just rain down
into the back
of this green dragon.
Is he gone?
Is the dragon dead?
No.
Dragon's not dead.
What, he's not dead?
Nope.
Oh, I thought
annihilate kind of gave it
the sun.
But it's still alive.
You destroyed it.
You did say
you annihilated it.
He's still alive.
Don't give us false hope.
You did give us a bit of false hope there.
I don't care.
But you heavily damage the green dragon.
Is that what you want?
I'm trying to look up a lot of things.
You done?
Yeah, I'm done.
Don't forget that this dragon is stunned.
Elora.
Oh, hi.
Is the dragon right on top of me or is he in the air?
He's hovering above you, but enough that he's within range to attack.
My griffon didn't do anything.
I'm more meaning if I shoot it, is it disadvantage for me?
Too bad.
Because he's got bigger range than I do.
No, because he's within 10 feet.
I would like to shoot him in the face, please.
Okay.
29 to hit.
Yeah, 29 more hits.
And a natural one, so that won't.
So...
You shouldn't win the Moonbow.
Moonbow.
Moonbow.
Yeah, with that.
Don't pop me the Moonbow.
So 11 piercing damage and 13 radiant damage.
So 11 piercing.
And 13 radiant.
Will they fall? Still alive, but barely, barely hanging on as the radiant energy of the moonbow pierces through him.
If the griffon attacked, would it be dead?
Maybe.
Can I, so that's my action.
Yes.
Can I shout shout give me the
griffin
Raynard
can I
can you bring
him down
please
I mean you
have to wait
like an entire
initiative turn
to get that
back
you gave it
to me
it's mine
I'm trying to
get to you
oh yeah
that was rough
the blue
dragon is
stunned but at
the end of its turn it is no longer stunned Is stunned But at the end of its turn
It is no longer stunned
I believe
Is it the end of its turn?
No my turn
It's the end of your next turn
Yep
Yeah it's really powerful
I have it written down here
It does nothing
Stunned until the end
Of my next turn
Damn
Alzra sorry
It's also your turn
Yes I'm all around
I like to just be like
This red dragon
It's bad
It says the red dragon
With the red sickness Is poisoned until the end of the neck my next turn
Okay, so I have to do another no it means it has a disadvantage. Okay, so I should have had this about
Oh, no, you breathe. Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. So, yep. Cool. Okay, so I have three words
bone bro trampoline
Can I make a boat bone bro trampoline? What what does that mean?
Can I make a bone bro trampoline?
What does that mean?
A trampoline has a rubberised sheet.
I animate them and I bring them to life again,
but they throw me into the air like a trampoline.
I mean, they can attempt to throw you.
Can they attempt to throw me?
They can try, yes. More of a bone bro trebuchet.
It's a bone bro trampoline.
Yes.
What's the strength on your bone bros?
I don't know. They've got... they've got... Acey and...
This thing should be in the Ender Beyond, under creatures I think. If you go to extras.
Extras...
On this one.
Oh he's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
Just put all three.
Okay.
And if you tap on one of them you should get their stats oh hello strength is 10 right i think with all four of them they're
not going to be able to throw you very high there'll be three of them three of them they're
not gonna be able to throw you very high how high do i need to be how high do you need to go
you've said so far you've just said you want to be thrown in the air, but you haven't said where your
destination is. I'll be thrown into
the air, and I'll smack
the red dragon with my sword.
Okay.
Can I smack it from the ground?
Yes, that you can have them
throw you high enough that you can make an attack
against the red dragon, yes.
Oh yeah. 100%.
Ariel, assault! are you within range
of the dragon anyway
sort of
I'm reaching
she could just go
technically it would have
breathed in
no it would have been
about 10 feet above
so yeah
she needs a boost
yes
bone bro trampoline
okay
so you're
go for it
okay
so I'm gonna roll
for their strength no you don't'm gonna roll for their strength.
You don't need to roll for their strength.
Oh.
What do I need to roll for?
Just you need to make the attack roll.
Your attack.
Okay, well I got an attack that you wanna do.
Mark said that you reach it.
So what's the total modifier with your bonus?
So that is 16 total.
Just enough to miss it, unfortunately.
That's so cool.
So you kind of fly up in the air, you swing the nine lives stealer through the air but
it just swishes through the air itself and doesn't strike.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on,
I have things.
I have things.
Contingencies!
Fighting spirit, bonus action, give myself advantage on weapon attack rather than...
Technically you need to do that beforehand.
That's a cool fact!
Also, it wasn't your bonus act to animate it.
Yeah, did you animate it?
Did you animate it?
Yeah.
Technically, you wouldn't have been able to make an attack either.
Yeah, that's fine.
We're going to...
But next time, next time you can try that again.
Are you done?
I'm done.
Police?
She goes on initiative 11, all right?
I've got a lot of stuff.
He's got a lot of stuff.
So they're dead.
I just wondered what she was up to.
I think she spent a long time.
The hideously wounded baby red dragon will...
Does its breath weapon recharge?
No.
But it has disadvantage?
It does have disadvantage,
but it's just going to fly down,
and it just tries to bite Alzra.
For A, that is a 23 to hit.
Yeah.
So you're going to take 9 damage plus 3 fire damage, so 12 damage total.
Oh no.
As it just reaches down with its flaming mouth and like chomps onto you.
You down?
You're on 1?
11.
You're on 11 hit points.
Nice.
Nice.
So that's...
Smart.
Oh, God, right.
Toy.
What dragon was at fifth?
It's okay.
There's...
Oh, yeah, there's the kobold.
There's still a...
I mean, just behind him is Arkhan.
There's Arkhan.
The man himself.
Is Arkhan even in this tower?
Has he just gone on holiday or something?
Khaleesa will try and finish off the red dragon.
That is going to be a miss with her first attack, annoyingly.
Can you imagine he's just going on holiday?
Second miss with a second.
Miss with a third.
Oh, great.
Hey, I'm missing a lot on these dragons as well, so...
Yeah, I've got to go.
Juto, you go, yes.
Now you go.
Okay.
You go at the same time as the red dragon,
so I just missed you.
I've got a lot of initiative orders, all right?
Question.
Yes.
So where we are now,
is there still a drop to go?
Yes, yeah.
So there's like a plateau.
So imagine you've got like a plateau with the walls on that. The walls are 20. Yeah. So there's like a plateau. So imagine you've got like a plateau
with the walls on that.
The walls are 20 feet high.
Then there's the plateau
and then there's 50 feet
down to the ground
where the others are.
And could that do
a sizable amount of damage
to a dragon that's been
kick-dropped off that?
Maybe.
I mean, this dragon's large.
This is a pretty...
You know, this is...
What, you're going to like
grab its tail
and Mario
bang it to spin it? Well... Oh! So long, Gibbons! You laugh You know, this is... What, you're going to grab its tail and Mario bangs a spin?
Oh!
You laugh, but
with Water Stance, I can Water Whip
and that moon pushes it.
And it's a strength
saving throw, and he auto-fails.
Yeah, you can do that.
Or I was just wondering if me hitting it
does what happens.
You know that falling will do damage to it.
How much damage?
You don't know?
I mean, you need to one-up Bonebrow Trampoline.
I think that's it.
Don't be effective.
Be cool.
Rule of cool is always better.
Okay, rule of cool.
I'm going to go into Water Stance.
Yep.
So bonus action.
Enter Water Stance.
And then I will water whip it.
As one of your main attacks.
So that's a strength fail save.
Well, you do a normal attack,
like with water whip, remember?
Yeah.
Okay, so I'll attack.
It's like a normal unarmed strike.
A normal unarmed strike,
so that's advantage on that.
Yep.
26.
Hits.
If you kill it now,
and then just throw it off for the fun of it.
Six points.
Six points.
You don't kill it and then it automatically fails the strength saving throw so it's
push ten feet which is enough to make it fall down so it will take 5d6 damage.
Whoa!
For the fall.
For 50 feet fall.
That's going to be ten, sixteen, seventeen more points.
That's a lot of damage
it says can make an extra attack or flurry I should have flurried
you can technically well no it's out of your range now because it's 50 feet below you
I could... put it back, wall whip back
I can go down
oh yeah you can just slow fall down yeah you can just slow fall down and then give it one more strike
you got extra attacks you got two attacks
no because you make you got attacks, you make two base attacks,
Water Whip is in place of one of your normal attacks.
So you get another normal attack.
So I get Flurry.
But you can't Flurry because you bonus action to go into a stance.
So I get one more punch.
Or Gwandau, you can make a Gwandau attack.
Oh, I want to do one more.
Just one more Gwandau attack.
One punch!
With advantage!
What's 18 plus 12?
Hits.
There it is.
30.
Hits.
That's what it is.
High enough.
Oh.
That was perfect damage.
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 points of damage.
Jeez.
Dead now?
Arcane dead?
It's not dead.
You slam the Gwanda through it.
As you pierce through its chest, but it is still awake.
You guys were assaulting a big tower.
Some pretty tough shit here.
We were trying to be stealthy.
I know, I appreciate it.
I just mean this thing has taken 100 damage in the last couple of turns.
How much health does it have?
I mean, more than 100.
I was trying to, like, ask you guys to, like, help because it was...
I thought it was almost dead, like, just from what you were doing.
It's also the biggest one of all of them.
Right.
The tortle.
The tortles go.
He looks up.
And there's still undead swarming, like, these, like, 20... There's about 20 or 30 undead still around the tower. He's got his four ghouls. There is. He looks up. And there's still undead swarming. There's about 20 or 30 undead still around the tower.
He's got his four ghouls.
There is.
He looks up.
Because you and I are the ones on the walls.
Like the 20 on the walls.
But he looks up and he's like,
Pathetic servant of the failed god.
Points his finger up.
And he's going to utter a divine word.
What's that?
A divine word.
Which one? A divine word.
It is spoken in a tongue
so black that you cannot
bear to hear it.
That's black!
Chris, drop!
First of all, how many
HP do you have? 51.
51.
It's not disintegration is it?
God damn.
I was hoping you'd have lower than that.
It's a shame.
I healed myself.
Well, still make a charisma saving throw.
You are very lucky you healed up.
27.
Yeah.
So, whatever this word is
just plug it
sorry
sorry
and it just
oh god
that's a shame
just hisses
and then he will cast
two touch
because that spell's wasted
what was he doing
casting divine word
sounds bad
it goes to his skeletal hand goes to grab your face.
When all else fails.
24.
Yeah, that hits.
He's laughing, you know, but with a skeletal hand.
You take 16 necrotic damage,
and you cannot regain hit points until the start of your next turn.
16.
Yep, and you can't heal until the start of your next turn.
Such a dick move.
AHH! He's just like, FOOL! SILENCE!
Silence, he puts one bony finger to your lips.
You're in... your ridiculousness.
You are in your ridiculousness.
Oh, my creatures.
You're stupid and you also suck.
You big poopy butt.
The undead will surge up the stairway to you. Your mother was a hamster.
You're a big poopy head.
Against you, you're just ping, ping, ping with a tiny buckler.
Natural one fail.
And Raynard, you're ducking and weaving behind all of these undead as they surround you.
Awesome.
Cam Buckland.
He's in shock.
Can I sense how these undead are being controlled?
Who is controlling them?
The turtle.
I'm going to try a thing which is going to fail because it always fails when I do these sorts of things.
I'm going to modify his memory.
Fasten time.
It's an action.
Oh, really?
It's like a 10 minutes thing.
Is it a range? Do you have to touch them?
30 foot.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Thank you.
Okay.
It's a wisdom saving throw.
Okay.
He's probably alive.
He is. My's probably alive. He is.
My dice aren't.
We'll see.
We'll see.
What do you modify his memory?
Okay.
So what I can do is in the last 24 hours, I can do a memory of 10 minutes.
Okay.
So what happened was he fills in the blanks, right?
Right.
Okay.
To make it make sense.
Okay.
Arkhan the Cruel cast him out.
Okay.
And we were there to pick him back up, but he sent out all his army to finish him off.
And we said, we're going to defend you, let's fight back.
That's pretty smart.
That's pretty smart, man. Oh my god. Is he controlling the light? Oh my god.
How powerful is this spell? You attempt to reshape another creature's memories. One creature you can see must make a wisdom saving throw.
If you are fighting the creature, his advantage on the saving throw.
What's your DC? 18.
Oh my god, it still fails.
With a failed save, the target becomes charmed by you for the duration, which is concentration up to a minute.
The charmed target is incapacitated and unaware of its surroundings, though it can still hear you.
If it takes any damage or is targeted by another spell, this spell ends, and none of the target's memories are modified.
Whilst this charm lasts, you can affect the target's memory of an event that is experienced within the last 24 hours that lasted no more than 10 minutes you can permanently
eliminate all memory of the event allow the target to recall this event with perfect clarity
and extracting detail change its memory of the details of the event or create a memory of some
other event you must speak to the target to describe how its memories are effective and it
must be able to understand your language which it does it mines fills in any gaps in the details on
your description the spell ends before you finish describing the modified memories it isn't effective Right.
A modified memory doesn't necessarily affect how a creature behaves,
particularly if the memory contradicts the creature's natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs.
An illogical modified memory, such as implanting a memory of how much the creature enjoyed dousing itself in acid,
is dismissed perhaps as a bad dream.
The DM might deem a modified memory
too nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant
manner. I...
Okay. I don't think it's
it's not like, you love
acid! Go drink some acid!
It is believable because you can target
a memory that actually took place
where he was meeting with
Arkhan and Arkhan was basically
saying, I'm leaving you in charge of the tower, I'm going to go do something.
And you modify it to be,
You have failed me, Krull! Be gone, I cast you out!
Except it's Cam's voice.
Well, no, the memory is Arkhan casting him out.
And then as he...
I'm roleplaying with little figurines.
Arkhan says, oh, you're gone.
But his memory's
filling in the language
and then you basically
modify that
within 10 minutes
he leaves
and within 10 minutes
you magically appear
and are like
hey buddy
you're great
we'll look after you
and at first
he distrusts you
but then you like
convince him somehow
he's sending dragons
to kill us all
what?
I must know
and he's
yeah
I think that this will apply but maybe
some things will jog his memory if he takes damage and stuff like that it might you know
break the charm or whatever but yeah he's just like his eyes glaze over and he's like no no
he's like looking around confused but yeah it works like he failed both saving throws
great great job sweet sweet
that was amazing well done and the thing is is the the charm effect maybe only lasts for a minute
but that memory is permanent i should point out that is a permanent memory what level spell is
that i think we've done this to someone but it's it's hard because if you're flanking them they
have advantage on the saving throw and everything else so now both our clerics have an army of bone bros.
Except, I guess, yours is...
Ghouls.
And ghoul bros.
Raynards.
No, sorry, the green dragons go.
Green dragon will...
Nope, it doesn't return its poison breath.
So Elora, it will just try and attack you.
It's not in range of Elora.
It is.
It is.
18 to hit.
The second attack is a miss. Bite is a hit.
So you're going to take 11 slashing
damage from the claw, and then you're going to take
15 plus 7 poison damage, 22
damage from the bite
as it bites down
onto you. Okay. Desperate to
try and finish you off. Raynard.
So you've seen
Cam like, oh, you better get out, you son of a bitch, I hate you now. Raynard. So you've seen Cam like,
Oh, you better get out, you son of a bitch.
I hate you now.
Oh, my master, please.
No, go away.
We'll save you, buddy.
And then the Tortle is just looking at him in complete...
I'm like looking between Tortle and Cam,
like really confused.
And then I'm like... Do all the undead shift differently.
We'll see on his turn, right?
Thumbs up, and then I'll shoot the green Dargan again twice,
because I've still got 100's mark on him.
Not being very creative with this, but whatever, both hit.
Just hit the bra.
26, 27.
Yes, yeah, hits, yeah.
Boom!
Green dragon, yeah?
11 plus 6, yes. Don't worry about rolling damage. It! Green dragon, yeah? 11 plus 6?
Yes.
Don't worry about rolling damage.
17?
It was so low, it was so low.
It had three hit points left.
Ah, 30 damage.
Wait, it had three?
Yeah.
Oh, could I move my second shot then?
Yeah.
Sweet.
In that case I bonus action move the hunter's mark as well.
Yep.
On to the red dragon.
Red, red.
Red dragon. Red dragon also dice yeah yeah oh
my god I just kill a wolf I was super low they were super low I just did all
the damage yeah sure how do you crap That's like the crocodile over again, but it's upgraded to two dragons.
Alzra.
You mean all the damage?
Yeah!
The dragon, the red bear dragon just collapses in front of you, a bolt sticking out of its
head.
Nice!
Gotcha!
Thank you!
I'm going to cast False Life on myself.
Okay.
D4 plus 14 temp hit points.
Sure, go for it.
Could you drop the...
That's a 16 16
Nice
Perfect
That's pretty much
Your turn as an
Exorcist
That is it
Where is the
If it was
Attacking the
Green dragon
It might
He hasn't
Added it
Has he
No but
Elora
Elora
Does it
Is the bronze
Griffin under
Only Reynard's
Control
Yes
For fuck's sake
And he forgot To control it Such a shithead Um Yes Is the bronze griffin under only Reynard's control? Yes. For fuck's sake.
And he forgot to control it.
Such a shithead.
I killed two dragons.
What more do you want?
What do you want from me?
Well, finish them off, but we'll stay killed.
Plan's ruined.
Plan's ruined.
There's a dragon over here, and I'm sure I love him. I know, it's very, very, very high up a wall it's quite far away it's probably nice though yeah you can shoot it yeah with the moon though yeah
absolutely yeah I didn't know yeah no yeah no it up That's one big cliff I made it confusing by making it look like it's two cliffs
It's not
18 to hit
Hits
The other one will hit as well
We've got the heroic music going now
Turn to tide!
The tide have turned.
I wish I was a sorcerer, you know.
The turn of the tide.
Why?
Just get spell slots back.
Yeah, that's good.
19 piercing.
And then...
15 on the first one radiant.
And... 12 on the first one radiant and
12 on the second radiant
okay yeah that was a lot
the arrow just streaks through
piercing through its chest
and just whatever organs
are obliterated by the radiant damage
sorry G2
sorry
I just had this clean
at this point we're going to drop out of initiative.
Because Kroll, on his turn...
Stop! Stop, my minions!
And the undead just stop.
Our camel's gone.
This is why he cast you out.
Yes!
Why? I still do not understand why.
Your power.
As the Arcan would.
You're very powerful, and Arcan fears you overthrowing him.
He knows.
Taking the hand.
He knows.
Or something.
As soon as you say taking the hand, he's just like, he fears that I would.
I am a more powerful necromancer.
The hand would be better.
That's it. And he sent the dragons to kill you.
Yes, it must be so. But why would such pure-hearted servants of the god assist me?
Maybe they see the power in you.
Nonsense. The gods long turned their back on me.
Only my queen Tiamat.
But perhaps...
Maybe they sense something wrong with Arkhan.
Perhaps my queen senses.
Perhaps he is too alert to Vecna's side.
Perhaps the necromant, the lich, has taken hold of Arkhan.
I must stop him.
Yes.
And I'm sure being a servant of Vecna,
he'd be very deceptive to you
and try and convince you otherwise
if he senses us as a threat.
Make a persuasion.
You have advantage
because he's still technically charmed by you at this point.
I don't understand half the words you just said.
This is high IQ cam play.
This is actually really fucking clever.
I've got the perfect amount of wine.
Yeah, he's right there.
I'm like, this is going to last about two minutes,
and then I'm going to be ready.
You have advantage.
Okay.
I'll see if I get a max.
19.
19.
Plus 13.
Yeah, like, you tap in to whatever paranoia.
Because, I mean, I guess Cam would maybe know a little bit about Tiamat,
having spent time with, like, Adric and stuff like that.
Like, Tiamat is, she's a goddess who's all about greed and power,
but it's also, she's very paranoid and jealous,
and you kind of feed into that.
And he's, this tortle is just like,
yes, yes, it must be that Harkann is...
He's become a servant of Vecna.
He must be stuck.
He's going to betray the queen.
Why would you help me?
Because we don't want to die.
Survivor of the fittest.
Tiamat understands these things.
Yes.
He's gone.
He's travelled to the monument of Tiamat.
Whatever his purpose, he seeks to...
He's not here.
He's not here.
In which case...
He's not here.
He's not here.
He popped out to the shop.
He's not here.
I missed him.
He's in another castle.
He's at the monument. Five's not here. I missed him. Not here. He's in another castle. Five dragons.
Five dragons.
But now they're gone.
It's fine.
Spell slots.
Spell slots.
Felicia just kind of flies down next to you all and is like,
well, yes, he's in another place.
Then we should go and hunt him down.
Can we seek some rest
at this place so that we
can be at our best to face Arkhan?
Yes.
Yes. So be it.
So be it.
Whatever. I do not
fully trust you yet, but...
Why would you? We're in hell.
Yes. But it cannot be
denied. Lordarkhan's madness
To cast me out
To turn to Vecna
Our time
Stopped
Our time grows short
We must
Yes
We must rest
Well
Rest
Rest quickly
You do not have much time
If you dally too long
If you dally
You will gain more power
From Tiamat herself
Right Tricky my goddess more power from Tiamat herself. Right.
Tricky, my goddess.
Rest quickly.
Praise Tiamat.
I'll prepare what I can.
Praise Tiamat.
These servants will be of no use against Arkhan,
but I will journey with you to fight against him.
Such a shame we have to fight the dragons.
Yes.
Still, they were they were
Arkans to command
not mine
and he will have
he will have
Toragar with him as well
powerful champion
and fighter
in his own right
of course he does
as well as the Abishai
we've done our research
rest
rest while you can
I'm gonna look over the
ghouls
escort these
mortal kind
I'm gonna look over the wall
at the people at the bottom
and just yell he's not here Escort these mortal kind. I'm going to look over the wall at the people at the bottom and yell,
He's not here!
I never said he was here, neither did Khaleesa.
I'm just wiping dragon goo off myself.
I'm really sorry, Juto. I didn't mean it.
You were very close to him. I didn't really expect the...
Did I just hear Reynard
say he is not here
he's not home
Reynard you hear this
come and say like
he's not here
he's not home
bring your companions
inside
she's gone
truly
she's gone
truly this is hell
it's Rhiannon's
kind of laugh
that means she just truly gone.
Yeah, she's done.
Yeah, all right.
That was the other fucking thing you said was within the Avershy and... Some powerful champion.
I'm assuming you gather the guys outside.
You lead them up into the fort.
Inside Arkhan's tower is...
Why are we sleeping over? Does he have a really comfy bed? We're supposed to stay there Inside Arkhan's tower is... Why are we sleeping over?
Does he have a really comfy bed?
Has Arkhan negotiated for you to rest here?
He just killed four dragons.
He's got a long rest.
Sleep over at the dragon castle.
Master Arkhan
will not return for some time.
How do you know?
He told me. Before he passed me out.
He's being treacherous!
Are you sure he's not lying to you?
He might be lying.
It's possible.
But he has great business at the monument.
It takes him, he is there for hours at a time, days.
Days?
Yes.
Okay.
We'll take shifts to make sure we're not...
I will have the undead patrol the area.
They will give us warning.
Very well.
Although now that we do not have the dragons,
we do not have such keen eyes to watch for the tower.
And wine.
The police will say, like, I will keep an eye out for Arkhan.
Oh, I think I see wine.
I do not care for something.
Although company would be useful.
I do not wish to, if he does engage,
I would not like to engage him alone.
Can't fly. Sorry. I do not wish to, if he does engage, I would not like to engage him alone. Can't fly.
Sorry.
I can carry you.
If you require rest,
I need only one of you
to wait with me.
Perhaps you?
I really need to rest.
Oh, what a shame.
I'm not in the best shape.
I could say a short rest.
Can you get your key back?
Yeah, I can get my key back
in a short rest.
Boom.
You'll be able to rest
for some time.
Hmm?
How long are we resting?
It sounds like a long rest.
A long rest.
I would recommend
to rest as little as possible
if you wish to face Arkan.
Yep.
You will only grow stronger.
Real quick.
Can I do a long rest?
Yeah, real quick.
A long rest.
Eight hours.
He's like, I do not advise it
not only is Borg
greater
there are other threats
here in the wastelands
if the demons
the fiends
learn that Arkhan
is not here
that he has betrayed us
to Vecna
they will surely attack
but we have your protection
I am
I am but a humble servant
of Tiamat
I am
I am no match for him.
But you clearly are destined for greatness.
And you have us now.
I only warn you, the longer you tarry here,
the more dangerous it will be.
Where is the wine, though?
You require healing.
I can provide healing.
Yes.
Provide healing if you require it. I would like healing, I can provide healing. Yes. Provide healing if you require it.
Can you refresh?
So are we long resting?
Are we long resting or are we short resting?
I'm going to long rest.
You're going to have to wake me up.
I'm like following Cam, but I'm crying.
He's not here!
He's not here!
Okay.
The tower itself itself I mean
going through it
whoever this
tortle is
they were conducting
horrible experiments
on undead
creating undead
it's full of
bodies and bones
organs in jars
he leads you
through it
commenting
kind of grumbling
like pay no heed
to my work
this is not for your eyes
this is my liver here's my bones commenting, kind of grumbling like, pay no heed to my work. This is not for your eyes.
This is my liver.
Here's my bones.
And left toes.
Enjoy the viscera.
The other thing you should concern yourself is with,
do not wander too near the dragon hatchery.
The dragons may awaken.
They are under Lord Arcann's command.
Hmm.
Is there anything we can do to, uh, tip the balance? I will have it sealed, but Lord Arcann's command. Hmm. Is there anything we can do to tip the balance?
I will have it sealed, but against Arcann?
No.
He is a great warrior.
Champion of Tiamat.
Until he cast me out, I knew of no finer warrior.
Why, my lord? Why?
I fall asleep while he's talking.
He said like eight words
Okay
You guys have an emotional crisis
You just shut him down
He's snoring as well
You were standing as well
If you guys want to take a long rest
You can take a long rest
I am
Well we don't have much of a choice
We do, you can just wake him up
and be like
we're moving
stop sleeping
I also need to recover
one level of exhaustion
I forgot about that
yeah
long rest it is
do we reset HP again
I forget
yeah
there we do
98 points restored
does Khaleesa still want me
to short rest
and hold her hand
yeah
Khaleesa was like
why do you not join me
I can switch
with you
like halfway probably.
Does that mean
I still have short rest?
I mean like in terms of
I'd like one of us
to be awake.
No, you can take a long rest
and still swap around.
Oh, I can take a long rest
and swap?
Yeah.
Would that be better for you
or are you okay with short rest?
Actually, no,
you're a tiefling.
You need the full eight hours
for a long rest, yeah.
So do you want
a short rest?
I forget that Elora's an elf
and she only needs four hours.
It's not bad.
The only thing I don't get back is Hellish Rebuke,
so it's not terrible for a long rest.
So it's up to you.
I don't know. I think it'd
be better if more of us stay awake.
Okay, I'll stay awake then and do a shorty.
Very well.
When you...
She will either fly you up to the top of the tower or
to the top of the wall.
Bronze griffon, maybe.
Juto can run up the fucking
walls.
Also, Khaleesa can fly one of you. She can carry
one of you. She's strong enough.
She looks over to you, Juto.
I must admit,
you are quite the warrior.
I saw you fighting against the dragons.
I was very impressed for a mortal.
I have trained long and fought many battles.
Clearly.
I just wish to compliment you on your skills.
It's one thing the Irini's pride over anything, it is martial ability.
Thank you.
You are most welcome. You were also quite fearsome in that fight. I have trained as you said for many
many eons slaying demons here in the Blood War. I take it that once this Arkhan
is dealt I will take you to locate these matters that you need. I still don't know
the exact you aim to gain from them.
The ledgers and this creature,
the holophant.
If you have a greater purpose,
perhaps I can help with it.
In time.
Very well.
I will tell you now,
we are trying to locate someone.
Ah.
Ah.
And when you say that, she kind of gets a hint.
She's like, hmm.
Locating someone in Avernus means one of two things.
Either someone who fell to evil that you still have a grudge
or some sort of vengeance against,
or somebody who was pure-hearted
or at least self-sacrificing who sold their contract,
who sold a soul.
It's one of the two.
And which do you think?
Given your companions,
especially the little pretty elf
and the foolish humans,
I'm going to assume the latter.
You do not...
You!
You and the dark-haired one
strike me as the type to seek out vengeance and slay those who have wronged you.
But the others, no. The others seem far too...
sickeningly pure.
My time for vengeance is over.
Is vengeance ever really over?
Yes.
And I can truly say that with my whole heart.
I hope so.
But just know that, well, killing somebody in your world doesn't really end things.
Not if they're truly wicked.
They come here.
Where they can become even more powerful.
Juto raises a note.
Oh, God. What? Tell me. Yes? can become even more powerful. Juto raises a note.
Oh god.
What?
Tell me.
Yes?
Have you heard of a dragonborn called Korak?
Well, if they came here after their death, it's unlikely that they would still be a dragonborn.
You see, evil souls slain in your worlds, when they come here they arrive as devils.
Now most pathetic souls become lemurs,
gelatinous, pathetic creatures,
worth nothing more than the dirt on your boots.
But some, if they are truly powerful and truly wicked,
they come back as more powerful devils and from there
they can become promoted, they can gain power
they can work in servitude
of others
what are you laughing at?
they're called lemurs
why do they come back as lemurs?
lemurs are cute
they're called lemurs
I think they're called lemurs
lemurs
fucking lemurs. Oh, I'm so happy to know! Lemurs!
Fucking lemurs.
Oh, Jesus Christ, Tom.
You've ruined a very nice moment.
No, they've ruined it for me. I was just ignoring him.
I was ignoring him.
I really hope Koryx are lemur.
If he is, I'm fine with that.
Your lemur sucks!
God, okay. Carry on. If he is, I'm fine with that. Your lemur sucks.
God, okay.
Carry on.
But Khaleesa just looks and is like, depends.
I'm afraid that the name of the other difficulty is they may not come directly to Avernus.
If they take the interest of another archdevil, then they may take them to one of their levels, their planes.
So there is no
way I could find this out? I did not say
that. I said that I do not know currently.
If we
were to find these
ledgers... Just leave! Just
go under the table! No, don't carry on, I'm
under control! No, because I'm crying now!
Why?
Why are you leaving?
Alright, okay, hang on. You tell me... Why? Why? Why Lima? Why? Why? Why?
Why?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima?
Why Lima? Why Lima? Why Lima? Why Lima? Why Lima? What is it? Right, this is a lemur. Right, okay. Lemur.
That's what I would say, it's a lemur.
And this is a lemur.
Lemur. Thank you, Matt.
Lemur.
Lemur. Lemur. Lemur.
What the fuck is that?
Lemur.
God. Lemur.
Lemur. Lemur.
Thank you, Matt.
Oh, God.
I did not say that there was not a way for me to find out.
Hmm.
Perhaps that vengeance isn't quite safe, then.
Could we find out if we found these ledgers?
If you not.
Yes?
Yeah.
Wear that soul The ledger will simply tell you
Whose contract the soul may be under
Finding out where
Is something I could perhaps
And just know that
A soul destroyed here
Is destroyed forever
Thank you for your wisdom
I shall take it under advisement For now Thank you for your wisdom.
I shall take it under advisement.
Good.
For now, we watch and we wait.
Very good.
Just know, you are very strong.
If you ever wish to be stronger,
I told you,
the blood of Asmodeus runs through your body.
He would be very, very grateful to have you back under his services.
She just smiles.
And then she backs off.
I'm just going to turn and watch.
Slowly.
I hate you, Mark.
To get to you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
To get to you.
I was so convinced there was nothing you could offer me in this whole freaking campaign.
Guess who could be here?
You just let it turn the freaking night in you.
Hey, you know that enemy that we spent
two years of you tracking down and killing
guess what they're probably still here
they're now a devil
oh I got the killer
he not gonna be very
he could be here son
devil correct son
after I've rested
for four hours I'm just gonna
are they up on the top when they're having this talk?
Yeah, no, sorry.
I'm just giving Kim a look based on the last thing she just said.
What did you say?
I'm just saying, why don't I just have Crown Rand turn up as well?
Let's just get the whole party back.
He's stuck in a pocket dimension.
Is he?
No.
Yes.
An angel has him in his pocket.
Does he?
Oh, yeah, wait.
Yeah, he defined an intervention that...
Yeah, he did, yeah.
Evandra logged it away, right?
Um, don't do this, Mark.
Don't do this.
Things can happen, guys.
Angels fall sometimes.
They become legal.
Who's to say that planetar
that came and took crown render, Ray?
Was nice.
Maybe that was Ariel.
Ah.
You're a butt, Mark.
You're a butt.
What are you doing with your hair?
Make a gif of that someone immediately.
So there's apparently...
Lemurs!
There's a reason lemurs are called lemurs
because they used to think that they were reborn
like demons or something.
What?
Lemurs derived from the Latin lemurs,
or whatever it's called,
refers to specters or ghosts that exiled
during the Lemuria Festival of Ancient Rome.
So wait.
Jack's not funny.
The virus is literally filled with lemurs.
Not those lemurs.
They used to think that lemurs were a reincarnation of demons.
Lemurs.
They've got quite demonic eyes, haven't they?
Where the hell led to that?
Yeah.
Cool, I'm just going to write down lemurs. You swap with Jute. Because they've not fight demonic eyes haven't they? The hell led to that. Yeah. Cool.
I'm just going to write down lawyers.
You swap with Jute.
Khaleesa.
Well she's only
taking a short rest
so we're not swapping.
I'm just going to join them.
You just join them.
No.
Lift me up on top of the wall.
Khaleesa will fly down
and lift you up
but she kind of
just looks at you
and just
you seem to
she like smiles and then just turns away as if,
I'm not going to try having a conversation with you.
She hasn't figured you out yet.
She doesn't know what she can offer you.
I'm going to sit on top of the wall and just druidcraft little flowers.
Okay.
As soon as you make them, they wilt and burn and die here in Avernus.
Cool.
It's like, that is a thing,
that, like, flowers just die here.
I want to go home.
Yeah, you guys take a long rest.
Yeah.
I'm not using the wine bottle as a pillow.
The empty wine bottle that you drained ages ago.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There is no sign of Arkhan.
He's not here. There's no sign of Arkhan. He's not here!
There's no sign of him.
He doesn't return.
You hear Krull, this tortle, shuffling around.
Slowly.
But he constantly tries to pester you, like,
you must go and face Arkhan.
We must not delay.
God, there's a turtle talking to me.
If he senses that something is wrong,
then it's what will happen.
It must be quick.
Does eight hours pass?
Yeah, you guys complete the...
Still in hell.
Yeah.
Nice.
Is there anything that Archeon is particularly...
Is there a weakness that we could know about
or anything that you know?
Weakness?
Yeah.
Yeah, like milk or something.
No, he is the strongest of Tiamat's champions.
He's not lactose intolerant.
He's the strongest of...
What?
Wait.
I've totally forgotten the word.
He also commands the Hand of Vecna itself.
Damn it.
Gives him great necromantic powers.
Surely.
Is necromancy probably not a good way?
I would not recommend it, no.
In terms of he is a red dragonborn,
fire has little effect on him.
Some, but not all.
Poison no longer affects him.
His armor protects him from certain weapons that are not enchanted.
You must have thought about this.
Oh, I have been loyal to Lord Arkhan since he found me.
That is why that his betrayal...
I am lost.
But Tiamat, my queen, I must defend her honor.
If he is turned to Vecna, I cannot allow it.
For everything I owe him, I must not allow him to continue.
Nope.
No matter what he says.
Yep.
Nope.
Neither will we.
He's bad.
And we fight for Tiamat.
Yes.
You will also have his warrior, his minotaur warrior, Toragar, with him.
Yep.
Big T.
Remember that guy?
Yeah.
Love that guy.
Bull.
Big guy.
Minotaur warrior.
If the monument to Tiamat, there are nests full of Abishai. Scores of them ready to
leap to Arkhan's defense.
Right. It would be perhaps
perhaps it would be wise of council
to lure him away from the monument.
Hmm.
Good idea. I could lure him
back to the tower perhaps.
Is there a way to destroy this
from the inside? The tower?
No, you cannot destroy the tower.
My work is here.
Arkhan could not betray you, yet he did.
No, no, no.
This tower contains my work.
I would not see it destroyed.
I will continue Arkhan's mission to free Tiamat, if nothing else.
And you see behind, like, Khaleesa kind of moves behind the tortle
and basically does, like, this and then points at him.
And telepathically
she'll send a message to you like
we can use the tortle for now
but he must die.
I wish he must be killed.
He cannot be allowed to live.
We'll use him until the end.
Yes, fine, but he must be killed eventually.
Have him bring Arkhan here
away from the monument. He can be the bait. Have him bring Arkhan here, away from the monument.
He can be the bait.
Yes.
Have him return here, we can set an ambush.
Are they not dragon hatchlings here?
We could burn it.
Set fire to the hatchery.
Yes!
Slaughter them.
Yes!
They're only eggs.
I'm so excited about this.
Yes, perhaps me and you should do that, House.
Butch the eggs, smash them.
Yes!
The tortle will not allow us to do it lightly.
We should do it without his knowledge.
Yeah, let's sleep on it.
Very well.
You arrange some sort of plan for him to lure Arkhan here, Buckland,
along with the rest of you.
Alzra and I will destroy the hatchling's nests.
Krull.
Yes, human.
I believe we must get to the top of the tower
and assess the skies and plan for Arkhan's arrival.
But we need to lure him here.
He can use the hand to teleport.
I could have him return here, but where, specifically?
The tower has many floors, but the main bottom floor,
the main chamber, would probably be the best to fight him in.
You think so?
Yes.
Away from his wormlings?
Yes, away from the hatchlings.
We can seal the door.
Can we seal him?
Wouldn't it be better to do it completely outside?
Over the flower?
I worry that he will likely bring his manticore pet with him,
allowing him to ride free.
But if we fight him inside, he may leave the manticore outside.
Can we trap him inside the tower?
We could build a cage
and hope that he teleports into it.
We could lock the main doors
to prevent him from fleeing.
Dragon bones.
His manticore, Chango.
Chango.
He could use the bones of his own dragon children to make a cage.
Can I telepathy with...
Or...
You can look at her and she'll message you
so you can return the message back.
Help me out here. I'm a bit hungover.
So, I want to try and convince the Tortle that Arcann...
that I could potentially adjust Arcann
to believe that Tortle's still on his side,
thereby doing a deceptive thing.
But I don't want to put on the fact
that the Tortal has been misled this whole time.
You understand?
Because Arkhan's going to come in here
thinking that the Tortal's on his side.
So don't tell him that you've been...
Just convince him that the Tortal...
Arkhan doesn't need his memory modified
to believe that the Tortle is still alive.
No, no, I need to tell Tortle that Arcann...
To utilise the Tortle...
You understand?
You said Tortle so many times, it sounds so dumb!
It seems like you already have a plan.
I'm not sure what you're asking me.
He definitely doesn't have a plan.
Also, we now need to wrap it up.
We'll figure it out at the end.
We'll figure it out.
Hey, you guys got through that combat we did can we get
some mega xp for that because we just killed five dragons yeah yeah sure you guys level up
16 yeah sure five dragons nice you're about to fight arcanum a lot of stuff yeah sure you can
level up i'm gonna say i level up I gotta say Chris Trott
that was great
that was great
I mean the dice
were on your side

fucking smart move
wasn't me
it was Cam
