Welcome to Legends of Aventris. I'm Felix Ackerman, and you're listening to Beneath Dark Wings. Here's what happened last time. Archbishop Zakaria says he knows your father, Jasper of the Sands. I am Matthias Brill. I will take you to the cathedral. Aloysius Zacharias, Archbishop of the faith of the queen. If you complete the trials and succeed, the Raven Queen will have every... everything that she needs to allow you to walk beneath her shadow. If you are all committed, I will meet you at the sepulchre of Nira. None of you have lost your courage.

I appreciate that. Are you all prepared about what you will see in the sepulchre? We're ready for whatever may come. A huge stone door. Slide open. I wish you the best luck. All must lay their memories to rest here. Suddenly, the sprout starts to shoot up and grow in a small tree.

Emeritus a trunk and leaves all around it. The entire room is bathed in snow, almost in the blink of an eye. It is frigidly cold. A spectral form starts to materialize. You have conquered. Trials of memory, knowledge, winter, and death. Nothing is more powerful than fate. See if you can change it.

2825. Five. Right? Nope. 15 and 20? 15. 16. Okay.

Who got 15? Lifty? Me. 10, 15. 0 to 5. 6. 7. Oh, I got a...

I don't know what... I got a 6 as well. Caprice rolled a 2, but I don't know what those modifier is... Oh, no, I got an 8. Oh, plus 6. Sorry. Caprice also got an 8. And Caprice also got an 8.

Caprice got an 8. So you guys got an 8. And I got a 8. That's six. So I'm probably last. So put two priests after me for now. Caprice and Toa are together. Yep. Okay.

And just to let you know for this fight, my AC is 16, because I used a, I used a major armor. You got an eight? Correct, six plus two? Yes. Okay. So you tied with Toa. Toa can go first.

Okay. Got. Jesus, with an eight, I was third. Yeah, that was really bad. That was all right. Form it up. So we haven't done any rules. Yeah.

Okay. So you see this dwarven woman. She seems to be holding a rusty flame. And it seems to be a verdict to you, way down the lines, broken and and absolutely sad and miserable. And then my decks will pull. Yeah.

Do I feel compelled to attack it? Or does it look? It seems to be rising. It's all, it looks to be. looking at you and as looking is about to attack, as this wind is howling all around you. I'll stand next to, I'll move closer to Felix. Okay.

You can move me five feet towards you. And then I will bonus action to cast thunderous thighs. Hey! As both thighs clapped together. and then I will do my two attacks with my, with Dakota. You do. Oh, geez. I would think that major armor is made for the first one, misses.

I took it swings in this special version of you dogs back in the way. Oh, natural toddy! Baby Christmas. Okay. The booty class. Clat them too. Moradin. More did it.

Let me do flail damage first. So that's 12. It sounds really good. Bludgeoning. It's correct as well. 12 bludgeoning damage. And then let's see, because I used my... Sorry, I'm still figuring this shit out.

Can you guys see the D&Dia on overland? I just didn't know. I couldn't see it. On a computer. So that's 46 thunder damage. So that's 46 thunder damage. 4D6. Damn.

4D6. 5. 40. 7. 46. Four. So, so hundred and forty. Thunder damage to the target in addition to the one I just hit with.

Additionally, target is a creature. It must succeed on a strength saving throw. It will be pushed 10 feet away from you and knock prone. This is 20. That is that? That booty girl. So as you will slam your coat again, as you take the full brunt of the smash. The thunder damage is.

It collapsed. Your thighs smashed together and the thunder erupts. erupts out of that. I wonder that's canon. Yeah. What is happening? Sorry, go ahead. And it missed resist and isn't knocked back.

Okay. Seeing that it is not knock prone, can I still pour Divine Smyte into this? Is that just part of the attack on bonus section? Right. Yeah, I can determine after a hit. So I'll just do a first level Divine Snite because that's 2D8, so that'll be 4D8. You can kind of an end, Morgon's.

blessing smashes into this thing. 10, 15 points of radiant damage. So you smash it, more than smites and lift to your out. Okay, I would just kind of, what does it look like? How did she react to it attack? And she is getting, it seems to be, as her job is beating up on this future version of you, it seems. And your friends are, your eyes are wrenched with pain

and full of terror. still viciously looking at you. Wow. Oh, how would I react to that? This is crazy. I feel like I would step in front of Herja and push her back but not make an attack. Okay.

You need to make an athletics contest then. Okay. Aphletics contest for a jerk. Oh, is she pushing me? She's not pushing you. Yeah, athletics. Oh, that's cocked. cocked.

Not great. L-O-L. Well, you beat me. Got a one plus zero. Wait, what were you guys wrong for? She's trying to push me. Athletics. And so you're unable to move her as you try to pull her out.

And that's an action, then you fail, and she stands back. Okay. And so as the- We're really confused about what's happening here. Like what I'm seeing and what's going on. Like, I don't like idiot. And so all of you're seeing, you saw the form of person to be on this form of you,

as it's yelping out, and as the winter ranges all around, you'll take five points of cold damage. And it starts to, you feel this horrible sense of frigidity overcoming you. I definitely take less, though, because I have firmite. Ayo. Is it because I don't suffer penalties of being

in high altitudes or cold climate? And you take no down to. Hey! My boy. It is because of the winter. The winter is certainly. surrounding you raging this frigid winter. And you see Taua seemed to be fine by this.

But weirdly, I'm surprised. As you see this, this aggressive version. And as, um, and I would also just yell at hers and they'll be like, stop is that? What's you doing? I don't know, I'm trying to protect you. And you see, each of you sees this version of yourself.

Ball call out. Uh, it's like, gently touch his shoulder. You are not able to best, you are faked and I'm everyone in Christmas saving thrott police. That that literally cannot ever be doing. Plus two if you're within 10 feet of me. Oh, we all are.

Everyone but I have. Everybody virus. Really? Oh, what is it? Plus two. Yes. Within 10 feet. Holy shit, charisma. You're plus two. Holy shit, I got a fucking 20.

Yeah, 16. 20, 22. My girl over there. The Dakota. The Dakota. 21. Very nice. Oh, 16.

So you feel like nothing happens. As this thing does, you feel something, you almost feel like the threads that they pull against you. And, but all of you are able to resist this effect. It's almost as if every time Mikey DMs, he's surprised by the things that we do. And he always is like, oh, this party's really overpower. And I'm like, I'll make it really hard. Oh, it's actually not like that bad. But anyway, rolling stats, ladies and gentlemen.

But as this thing turns, you also to see the shape of yourself, including you, Herja, lean in and you see. see Dakota swinging and slammed towards you. You will see various weapons smashing towards her job. After being attacked by- Like our own weapons. Duck, it's a fireball! She's gonna make them attack and it's gonna be a 23-hift. Do you have any weapon?

23 hits? Yep. I don't tell me. I have a dagger. As you've all been made aware of last session. A diga. A diga. A diga.

I don't know. You take 22 points. Holy shit. Of bludgeoning damage. I brought that up in the maze. He smashes into you and you feel the bludgeoning damage hit you as you also see your own specter attacking Herja. And that is its turn.

I'm sorry, Herodot. Toe, you're up. I will get into my battle trance, rage as a bonus action and then I will shout, this isn't real, it's a test, we have to defeat it. And mainly at Luffy, and I will attack twice. I'm going to go, I'm just looking, get around to the side just to, you know, make sure it can't get away. Oh, one's an extra time. Woo!

Yay! Not even, that's good enough, that goes up. And one is a, sorry, one is a 10. 10, 10 misses with the dach, which is 20 obviously hits. Obviously. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18 damage. 18 damage, wow. That's awesome.

As the first one smashes through, such as see the forms start to shake, and you all see yourselves wrenching in pain and agony and fear. However, then it starts to shift. Then you see a six-eyed raven appear and then shift back into your own form. As it takes this full damage, however, it is unable to dodge out of the way of the second attack. Is that it? Okay. Creaser up.

Do I get a sense that this is magic that could be dispelled? I would say probably not. It's like a creature. It's a creature that's very real, even though it's like an illusion-y, ditty. All right, all right. Then I will. Um, I'll, uh, you do that, that, that, bo. Uh, I'll move over to the other side, uh, get, closing in, just getting in there.

Yeah, I want to stay within 15, a 10 feet of, uh, uh, uh, uh, that's 10 feet. Yeah, you're good. That is it? Yeah, it's 12.5, but anyways, um, you're in part of the square, right? So, oh, that's fine? Yeah, it's fine. Just a little toe. We're going to give it to you.

All right, yeah, I'll take it. All right, I'll go in with my rapier for an attack. And I will. We'll get a 21 to hit. Nice. And wow, remarkable. And I will. Blam squad.

I will deal. How much of that? Seven piercing damage. Seven piercing damage. You draw your rapier. And you're almost adduling yourself as you stab your rapier deep into this figure. You were always bad at this move. And then I will use my bonus action to turn to,

Iris and I will sing. Where is it? All the grave clerics with their gods can shepherd souls like anubis too. High on his mountaintop, oh, eh, oh, yeah, oh, respect the dead and pay them do, giving her dartic in free. Eo, eh, oh, yeah, oh. As this happens. I love that, it's my favorite thing.

As this happens, you feel inspired Iris, you stabbing you. you stab into this pool of yourself. Back it out a little. And he's going to see shimmering. As in each of the gravestones, you see a spectral figure completely faceless. As the voice from this creature in the center called out in your own voice,

you must also face those that were unable to be masters of their own fate. Put them to rest, and you will complete the challenge. As in each one of these, is a figure of Merges Fudge Monkeys as we're going to put this one is going to stay killed and then they are going to just immediately emerge and attack What the fuck? Oh, oh well, okay. All right. Well, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Jesus Christ

Just drop a fireball in our feet will be fine. I'm about I'm about to as as these all emerge and we're just going to get some attacks on them. And so one's going to attack iris and that's going to horribly miss. One more's going to hit and that is going to hit. As you take it's a 20 foot sphere. Is that mean two points of a force damage. That's not very good. As you smash in, I'm going to get two on Toa. One's going to miss. 20 foot sphere. Yeah, there's going to hit. Right. 50, one there to the area is 20 foot. Well, I don't know if it's area.

No radius. Okay, yeah. Yeah, so I can protect everybody. All right. Eight points of forced damage to Utah on as they smash. Force damage. Force damage. Forced damage.

So Phyllis, a natural 20 on you. I'm immediately going to use shield. Okay. So plus five to my AC, which makes it 21. But it's still natural 20. Oh. I was going to say, can we, can we pause? If I know that.

You're standing next to me, so I'm going to pose disadvantage on that with my protection ability. My fault. My fault. I misunderstood. So it would still be a... You're good.

You're good. 17. And if you want to use a reaction now, you can't. So if I use shield that puts my East Cedar 21, which I would like to do. Exactly right. So Herja imposes, puts your shield up and you slam it still is going to hit you and you put up a shield and you block it. Okay. That's my reaction.

Okay. And then with that, Herja is going to be taking two. Gross. That's going to miss. That's a lot of good. And that is going to hit seven points of force damage. Okay. And then Caprice, you're going to be taking one.

That's going to be an 18 to hit. We have hit. Okay. That is going to be, let me roll this business. You're going to be taking eight points of force damage. And then one is going to be a lofty. Wow. It's going to be 20 to hit.

Man, I'm rolling really. All right. All right. All right. Oh, wow. Not great on the damage, though. Nine points of force damage. Leafy, hold on to your pants, Leefie.

That's all I'm going to say. Okay, cool. I have five twists of face. I'm going to look at this creature and say, though they're all threads of fate, I make my own path. And I'm going to use word of radiance around me. No, no, I'm not.

I actually lie. And you hate this the fuck up. No. It's a tear trip. I mean, I'm not too. I'm so hyped on Word of Ratings. I love the light, the cleric sheds. I'm so pumped.

No, I would rather use my actions or something more important. So I am then, I'm going to channel down a pillar of glittering sand and cast a beacon of hope on everyone in the world. Damn sun. It's way better. So everyone within range has advantage on wisdom saving throws

and death saving throws and you regain the maximum number of hit points possible from any healing for the next minute. Yeah, that's the advantage. That was the Merion. Fuck yeah.

So a pillar of glittering sand appears on all of you all of you feel a sense of in this waistland. as wind, rages and snow and ice are all around you. It's almost like the supernatural hopelessness. There's a pillar of hope in this one sand appears all over you.

And you all feel incredibly hopeful as the power of an endubis inspires you. Okay, is that your turn? Yep. Do this drop. I immediately cast a fireball at my feet. You do that? It's a 20 foot radius, so it should hit everybody

that's around me. And I choose one, two, three, four, five characters to not be affected by it. So fucking good. I was about to say, I was like, oh, what you motherfucker? No. Maybe I could use no matter here.

So we have deck 16. For every character in there, which is going to be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight little guys and one big guy. I'll roll the damage while we're doing it. Let's do it. Pretty good. That's going to be 10. That's going to be 10, 22, and then I got to roll two more. So 22 plus, uh, plus four is 26 points of damage to everybody.

in range of me. The only one that's mosquito was the big fucker. Okay. Unbelievable. So, what do you? So, 12 to him. Oh, 13. Oh, 13.

Apologies. So let me just do that real quick. That good old poppy nose what's going on. So, uh, Felix, Riches Hake is spoke. That is Paul. Your hand grabs the blade that you do, you grabs the handles of this dagger, and his hands glow and a bheels of this dagger. And his hands glow and a bee of fire appears in his hands. and you just crows it down to the ground around you.

And all of a sudden, firestorms all around you and all of you instinctively feel like you're right to get incinerated. And you're completely, you're completely fine of all the creatures around you are completely incinerated. Yes. As, as the tiny is known as Quiet wizard.

Got to give it up. Got to give it. All fucking in that one, Jim. I clapped when I saw it. Sorry, I missed one. However, as it seemed, however, as a lot. that although this creature, though, that looks like you,

holds a dagger of the raven's head on the help with a silver dagger looking at you. It dodges Moshe, but it still singe, and it shifts, and you all see the head of a six-eyed raven appear for a moment, letting out a croak, and then it shaped that. Oh, shit. Okay, with that, it's her turn.

Back at the top of the round? Yep. Mm-hmm. How does the raven entity, me entity look in front of me. It's taking a lot of damage, but it's still doing, seems to be fine. The interview, yeah, the interview, it's going to be fun.

Okay. Uh, looking over behind my shoulder at Lofti, having her gently touched my shoulder as the contest is not to see. No, no, I pushed you. I'll be like that. You're gently caressed her face when you talk up. Lofti, Lofti, it's an illusion. It's okay.

It's just, I'm seeing myself. I'm trying to protect you. You're seeing you? I'm seeing me. Yeah, I'm seeing me. I think all of us are seeing each other. but in like 50 years or whatever, however old we are. We got to take this goundole.

Good job, Felix. I did make a con saving throw for a concentration on thunderous thighs that passed. I'm going to make my two strikes against big back. It already activated, right? I did as a bonus action last turn. But then it's a trick. It goes away once a hit. Oh, really?

It's not just a concentration? No, it's a one time. It is a concentration, but once it hits. Oh, sorry. I thought it was like an active. How these bontors get it. Holy bonkers. Um, yeah.

The first time you hit with the melee weapon. Got it. Apologies. Uh, well, in that case, um, shit, I don't really have like a lot of other bonus actions. I'm not double attack. I was just trying to- Allens get very few bonus actions. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Here we go. Um, this is definitely the fight song. Leave this on, please. Oh, is that? What is this? I will. Um.

RPG. I'm gonna use my bonus action to cast shield of faith, so my AC goes up to 20. Okay, you have a claim of a mordidens, a shivering molten glow of molten metal and steel appears over you. So I'm gonna cast that and then I'll make my two Dakota attacks. One's a natural one. Yeah. It misses. Okay. And then the other one is a, um, It dodges both as you're swinging as this figure of the real tip you with horror and regret and sadness and misery and it kind of throws you off as you swing back and forth. I'll look to your eye. My turn. I'm counting squares.

Count those fucking squares. I'm fucking counting. Okay. I never do the diagonal square. How does that work? It's one point five. One and a half squares. So what's your means? Seven and a half feet.

I have 45. 45 feet. You can make it. to be able to get to both of these. I know I can get here. Easily. Easily. Really?

So you can move nine squares. Yeah. So that's very easy. Three, six. You still have three more feet of movement. What the fuck? I have been just short in my sales. You're super fast.

Monks are insane. You could like literally go here and like, it's almost as it's like, I want to be able to touch both of these. It's almost as if you spend your entire D&D career launching arrows from the back. So what you can do is attacking. If you kill it, then you can then. Yeah.

So why do you go here, hit that guy, and then you can move one more there. Yeah, sure. Okay, so I am... Finish them. Finish them. So I'm going to be like, I don't know if I'm coming. And I'm just going to, you know, whack at number six with my quarterstaff. With your spoon.

My spoon. So, golly. Golly. Oh, this is about... I don't have a whole. Maybe they'll survive. 19 to hit. Six plus four, so ten damage.

Ten damage. You smash into it with your spoon, correct? Yarp. Okay. And then... A key point for Fury of blows. You can use with double attack, though. Yeah, you get double attack.

Oh, do I? Yeah, so it's man the shit out of that guy. So you can just attack right, so my double, double attack, and that's just one attack there, right? That was just one, so this is Jerry, yeah. Okay, that's not as good. Nine to hit. It doggles out of the way of that.

Okay, so then key point for the fury of blows. Signed up. So one on six, if it hits, is 11. 11. 11. Unfortunately, that misses as I dogs out of the way, as are 10. What that's a fuck? Yeah, that one is too.

Yeah, okay. This seems like, appearing in, out of existence as this thing is dodging on. I'm gonna trip and like accidentally pull one of like Iris's fancy silk scarfs like down. Not to be a dick, did it make an opportunity time? Oh, it will do that. Yeah. You can't.

You don't get free to. It's a good. It's still in. It's still in here. in the wrong way. And this is going to do. Do what? Does she get disengage anything for drunken master?

Was it not? Whenever you flurry of blows, you benefit. No, it's only after you. Yeah, so you take an attack of opportunity. So. Oh, after you're back. Yeah, my be, my be. That's okay. Stay in the character.

Good. 25 points of blood. Hold on, hold on. 25 points. I'm using the- Do I die? If you reduce that. Oh.

Did you do that? Which were you next to me? 22. You feel I was next to you, but then I moved. I mean, I can pose disadvantage on that. It was already a disadvantage. Oh, okay.

22 points of damage. I rolled 17 and 18. All right. 22 points of bloods me damage as this figure of you smashes you with a huge wooden spoon. That's a spoon right there. And you don't spoon mommy. Right.

And as you do that, and it turns. It's okay. I'm fine. As the original rages, and everyone but toa, you feel five points of frost damage, a cold damage. As it's the winner is relentless here. And then it is going to then turn and make an attack on,

on Utah up. And it is going to lunge forward. Don't fuck this up, me? I'll use cutting words. This is advanced, right? Or no? Oh, no, it shouldn't. It's negative 1D8 from whatever it was.

Oh. It horribly misses. And he uses his attack and everyone makes a current and savement from. Shit. And once again, plus two for everyone within 10 feet of me. I'm doing 20. That's 20. Nice. 12, baby.

25, 15. 22 plus 2 is 24. Passes, passes. If you are. Well, fails. Within 10 feet to me. So what? You had an at 20?

I did, yeah. Oh shit. Six. Nice. Do the thing. Do the thing. Do the thing. Do the thing.

Oh, I'm not a natural one, too. Can I? I would say we have five. Should I use it? Man, let her ride. Okay. That's what they're there for. I would use at least one.

All right, I'll use it. Yeah, you use it and let have to do it. Because you can pass it easily, right? Maybe 18, 20. Yeah. I will step up. Toa, as you feel. We removed one.

Mark it. We have four now. As you feel, as this thing looks at you and it says, you have lost you. lost your potential. Is that what it sounds like to me? No, it sounds like, bird. You lost your potential, this is you know, set,

play. How did you have wanted with how things would with my life, I guess that's too bad. You lose two constitutions. You lose two places in constitution. Oh, no. I'm so glad you made me roll back. As you feel, oh my God.

As you feel yourself sacked of your strength. Oh, shit. And with that, It's so funny. Tooth turn. Oh, wait, I took damage from the cold, so I got it. I passed. Okay, got it.

I'm gonna say, uh, it's not very nice, I think we have a great lot. I'm gonna try. Okay. Chachia. No, I'm gonna say, hey, fuck face again. Just tipier. There we go.

So a 16 and a 26. They both have. 16. Oh. Oh. Are we still in the Hope Egan town? 11. Oh, yeah.

Damn. We are in- So advantage on wisdom, Sam, so I want to know if she is, uh, 29, 29 damage. Oh. 29, holy shit. Are you still concentrating?

Someone said you took damage. If she took the five damage. Oh, from the cold. D.C. is 10. So you smack in and you see this look of fear and hope and sadness. No. Is it smashed, and smash and smashes you?

Oh, actually, I have this, so I'm going to use that. The D-8? Yeah. Ooh, that's this. And you see Towa. Yes. That's fun.

As the spectral form shifts and shakes, and it is now looking as if it could be bloody, it is, but in the, this head of Toa shifts and all of you, you see your own head, shifts it once again into the shape of the six-eyed rae. And now you shift that. Oh, man. Okay, with that is Baxter.

Uh, first of all, healing word myself. For max. For max damage, max anti damage. So that's going to be nine to me. That's great. And then that's my bonus action. And then I'll turn to me and be like, you never heard the rest of my set

because I passed out. I have the heart of a mantricor and a lifetime band from the Galta the Zoo. And I'll catch Tosh's Hinius faster. Yes. That's amazing. That's amazing. It has to make a.

A wisdom saving throw, it's not a charm. It's just a wisdom saving throw. Poppy Kennedy wants to know what college, Ardvard went to. If it has an intelligent score of four or less, it's unaffected. It has a... I was hoping Gultica U.

Galti U. I love that! I need T-shirts for Gulteska-U now! I can't use a reaction on my turn to do that word. You can't use a reaction. Okay, then... Okay, then you, it's succeed. Hey, Jewelvard. Looks at you, completely

stone face, unacted by your, by your ability. Shit, I thought that would work. Let's keep hammering away at this thing. That's the end of my turn. However, the two creatures now are going to go. Only two left,

the rest will completely incinerated. One is going to attack me buffing now drawn its iron. Is it hit? Oh, fuck. That hit. Yeah, that hit. Okay.

Yes. I'm gonna die. No, you'd be right. I'm gonna die. Yeah, you're gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm down.

What? And it's down. Can I use my reaction to reduce it? If you are able to do that, as, as, as, yeah, you're gonna let's be sure, let me just make sure. This force stay. Wow. That is correct.

Max fucking range. I already used my reaction for, uh, and I haven't used my reaction yet. What's my act? since my turn. I was at, you were at 4.4. What is it? What is it?

You have to mind. Yeah, yeah. With him 30 feet, if they take down, and he's no reaction to reduce it by 2D6. Who's by 7? So one point, one point out. As it's going to kick you, and you hear, you see kind of this spiritual form

of like flapping flippers and a thick shell as a sea turtle seems to swirl around you and block most. Damage. Oh, you're told. But thank you. As it swirls around and then dissipates, and it blocks almost all of the damage.

A wizard that didn't go ignome. And then one is gonna attack, the last one's gonna attack Iris, and that is going to hit. It's gonna be like a 23. Mm-hmm, that hits. Seven points of force damage. As it smacks into you.

To who? No, it means. Okay. Yeah, no, it's not. They're all in the range. With that, Arrister. I am going to cast, this is so hard.

What do I do? I'm going to cast cure wounds at a third level on Lifty. Okay. Dang. Which is, Matt Mac healing. I know. 29 points of healing.

Dang. You feel a pall hit your, or grab your shoulder, and you feel this kind of, this, warming, comforting, drizzling of sand all over you, and you feel like almost all of your wounds, or many of your wounds have healed, and whatever flavor you'd like to add to that.

That's nice. Is that your turn? That's my turn. Okay. As it feels like the power of a newness is lost over you and has saved your life. With that, Felix, is your turn. So if I make a ranged attack against a creature

straight in front of me, I'm a disadvantage, correct? Fuck. I am actually going to attempt to move away. Okay. Attack of opportunity. 10. That's a miss. I've got a 16. Yep. You dodge out of the way. I'll make a firebolt attack. It's going to be 27. 27.

27 will hit. So that's going to be 2d10. How you feel, yeah. Much more than five points of damage. Five points of damage. As your hand glows with fire and it blast after you point your finger and your finger gun it. It does a bit of firing damage as it takes it. And with that, it is, you know, you can't do a fire, you can't.

that it is, I heard his town. With word of, sorry, prayer, not prayer, paramedal, beacon of hope going, do I also benefit from Max healing from healing potions? Yes. Any healing. So I will use my, I will move to be within five feet of, no, of Caprice. Caprice, yeah. I'll say to Toa, get a little bit closer to me. And then I'll use my action to cast my... Oh, that's five feet.

Yes, okay. Yeah. I'm not bad. I have 25 feet. Hey, Erja. I'm going to use my action to cast my channel Divinity's Sacred weapon,

which for one minute abuse my weapon, Dakota. She's already magical, but now she's even more magical. Adds plus two to attack rolls and I am emitting 20 feet of bright light and 20 feet of dim light. You can, and the effect as part of an action,

so that's happening as my action. And then as my bonus action, I'm going to wrap a quaff a greater healing task, which is mass healing. So you feel the power of Moradin empowered Dakota as it glows with this molten, the molten light of a ford. And it feels even more magical than one before. You chug a potion. And you feel like the power of anews, this warming sensation of sand appears over you. And you feel the guidance of anews, even empowering your healing potion. Okay, liftier out.

Because I'm going to be like, oh, now you're in trouble. And I'm just going to, like, jab my spoon at number six. Okay, you do that. 14. 14 hits. Barely. Barely. You didn't have to say that.

Barely. That's six damage. Six damage. Eights me be very weak as it shimmers and it almost loses form. And then I'm going to use... You have two attacks, remember? I'm not going to use my keypoint. I'm going to second attack.

Nice. Also in the cold stuff. That's 18 to hit. Mm-hmm. Five damage. You smash it as soon as your spoon makes contact. It shimmers and fades as it seems to die. Okay.

So then... What the fuck? Welcome kebab cake. And then, also if you use a key point, you can hit twice with your bonus action. So what's the bonus? I'm sorry. So if you use every attack that you make, you're going to fuck of a ball. you make, you automatically get two hits.

So you see your weapon or an arm. Per action, two. And then my bonus action is an un- But if you make an attack with your spoon, if you use your action to attack action, you can use a bonus action to hit with an unarmed strike. You can use a key point to do Flurion blows and hit twice with your bonus action.

So you can do four. Okay, so then my bonus action, unarmed strike, is gonna go at number six. You can pull the token off, and it's a spectral thing, and so there's no corpse. Your arms? You miss as it seems to go through the specs.

And then key point for two. Okay. Which one arm's tries. Yep. 10 and... 14 and a lot of trees. What's one? 7 or 8.

15. 15 minutes. Okay. Fuck me. Five. Five points of damage. As it's, as dodges your one, if you bring up your leg,

you man to smash it. It seems to actually take you. this. What number is this? The only one is alive? Six. No, six is already dead. Four, right? No. That's six. Oh. So the only one she'd hit before had been the other one. So if you split up their damage. Because she did 10 last round to it and then this round she did the first two hits that hit. And that's the back of it. Yes, so that one died. So whatever, we'll just say four damage to this guy. You got you. It doesn't matter what number is because the only one was alive. Okay. Felix drop. Okay. I am just going to firebolt the guy again. Okay. So it's going to be an attack hole plus eight. And if you did, uh, 16. 16 hits. Uh, three.

Three points of damage as you fling another firebolt. I've rolled horribly for damage tonight. As it flies in and it still hits its form. Okay. Uh, hurt your job. Wait. Wait. We didn't know. We just went, so it should have been monsters. So I don't know why Felix just went. Yeah, so I don't. Let's let us redo it. Which falls.

So it's going to be a turn. As it's the raging winter appeared around you, it's just point of whole man. Fix. Six. As it rages all around you. RETCON. And it's going to turn, it's going to turn to you,

Caprice. And it's actually, no, everyone needs to make charisma saving threat. as it once again, rages out and- Sorry, Toa. It says, what is it? Can you change your fate with your all your own? No.

You say, Coresma again? Chris. I got a three. Fail, fail, fail. Another 30 and I can do the thing. Who got what? I got 11. You got a 15 year old.

Who wants to? 16. 15. 16. 13. 13. Failed. No, fuck I failed. Not a three total, I guess.

It would be, I failed. I failed. but I'm trying to decide if I should use a twist of fate or not. What did he roll? A three plus seven is ten. I mean, we've already got three failures. I feel like two failures is better than three failures if you make the roll, but... I feel like Toa's taking a failure, it's like he shouldn't take a second one.

It may not matter. Maybe Toa should take a twist of fate. Yeah. It also may not matter, but we don't know. I mean, we're meta. We're mediting this shit. I have everything here. All right.

It's up to you guys. The twist of fate invites them at a conversation, very briefly. I vote to us to take one. I vote to. I vote to. Because come fucks me worse than anybody else. Uh, sit now. Nope.

Okay. Toa. You, uh, this thing looks at you and it says, Hey, man. Me, my face, he took the Lissa Pett. I feel like they should have taken a different one. And your current HP is now your max H-P. Whoa. And who else bail?

Oh. I love that. That's a good thing. Because I have high health right now, yes. If I had like, a 40 health. So if you had four health, then you would be your four back thing. And then if you get hit by eight, you die.

Like dead dead. And so this one looks at you and says, oh yeah, your mystery's going to be shifting. Oh, your memory is going to be shifting. And you now are, you lose two in acrobatics. if you feel like you've lost memory of your acrobatic abilities. And you are now, you gained two, however, in history.

I failed. Okay, you failed. You gained two in history, that's awesome. Plus two history, interesting. I failed as well. Okay, so you see the, this one looks at you and says, I wish we had done things differently. Your current HP is now.

Your maximum. That's a less than ideal. You failed? What was my number? You failed? No, no, I rolled. And you lose a point from your charisma. Use two points of charisma.

As you feel, as this figure of you says, well, we, oh yeah, but we could have done so much more. There we go. That's all right. And with that, you're a valiant effort. You betcha. Could you.

And then, so with that, now, who's in charge? Can I talk who? To Bruce. Okay, I'll oppose, disband. be disadvantaged. Okay. So it's like in things. So it's going to be a 15 to hit.

Yeah, I don't see anything. I will, cutting words for that with my reaction. Negative 1d8 doesn't matter what you roll. Yeah, okay. So as, what are your cutting words? Oh, uh, you didn't laugh at your own joke. You're not me. And so as this figure of you lunges forward with the rapier, it seems, it doesn't hit you. And then you say that and then it manages to mess.

And with that, it's toast. turn. I will attack twice. A 18 and a 27. Okay, both heads. Oh, there we go. 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 30, 34 damage. Holy shit. So you see two bashing in on this thing. Man, that's a lot of damage. And it slams in, once again, the head shifts back to the six out of raven and then shifts back as, as you you see all of this toll bashing in on this version of all of you. Capricedra up. I will say that I, Lufty. Me?

Yeah. You didn't go down actually because he just, he did. And then I he did her for a time. You're doing all right. Get back into the battle here and help us out with your spoon, all right? I'll give you Bardic inspiration, and then for my action, I will enjoy a phantasmal force on the strange creature that is also me and everyone else.

So I would like for it to fail with a spell save DC of 16. What's this? Cosmolome saving? It is a intelligence. 14. Yes. That's awesome. All right, so all of a sudden, in a ring surrounding it,

are a bunch of four and a half foot tall hens with these long beaks, and they're going to start to walk around it and the sort of dancing pattern like this and pecking every time they say walk. But I'm going to need everybody's help here. So everybody together, I need you to go, bock, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk,

and that's what they're doing. That is horrifying. Holy shit! What did you do? Oh, I get to do some damage. This doesn't fucking matter. No, it usually kills the creature. That's what happens.

It takes five points of cycle damage. Its head shifts to a head with a long beak, and then it turns back. Okay, what else? What else? There we go. I need my mixed. Who? Oh, it's different. So there's one laugh who's going to attack.

We killed the Tiamaka. We killed the Skiyamaka. Yeah, it does. Let's go miss and that is Archer. Um, let me see. I am going to cast mass healing word at third level. Sorry.

Sorry. Welcome to our again. Um, and you guys are going to get, everybody's going to benefit from nine points of healing. Healing. Oh, if my current HBO, I'm not healing. That's right.

I love healing. Oh. And then I am going to, I'm going to hit for 44 points, I'll be right. I'm going to turn towards the Raven creature, and I'm going to cast all the dead on him. And he's been hit, right? Yeah.

He has to make a wisdom save. Nine. Okay, he fails. He's going to take 2D12 necrotic damage. Necrotic damage. Yes. A 12 and a 10, so 22 points of necratic. Wow, holy shit.

As you all feel the word of anubis closing up your wounds and then Iris, you turn to this version of you holding her, her crooked or a weapon do you carry even? A crooked viala. A crooked vial. Cool. And do you carry that as it all turns to you

and you hear the loud gong of the bell. It starts to shift around as is the head shifts from the six out of your cat head and all when you see yourselves, and then it's the one of damage. With that, it's feelings to turn. Wow, well now I'll make my attack roll and hopefully more than three points of damage.

Oh, that's 13. 13 misses. And it flies off. I pass my turn. Fantastic. If it flies off and hits the wall of the tomb, I'll have been to 16. Joel, I move towards me for fuck's sake.

Oh, Mary, all right. Hopefully there's a breath-lipped in it. It's my turn. Oh, is it? Oh. Yeah, I just wanted you to move towards me on your turn, which you didn't do. I'm going to use my bonus action to attempt to shove the creature, which is an athletics contest.

You could get to the middle of us. No. I'm trying to be within five feet of Caprici, so I can have used to say. That's five feet at night. You can move me then to be closer. If you want, if you want. I can't see from here, so it looked like I was not

within five feet of Caprice. Yeah, very, yeah. Sorry, so athletics contest. 19. Natural one. Well, that's more than 10 feet. That's good, right? Nice. So that'll not work.

You shove your field into and it's enough. I'll just go ahead and make my two flail attacks. Got it. I had plus one, no longer two, because thank you, charisma. 16? 16 for what?

for my first attack? 16 barely hits, yeah. As it swings, again, and flies. Man, I shouldn't roll in this fucking dice tray anymore. I swear to got three bludgeoning. Three bludgeoning, okay. And then I'll do my other attack. Nice, there we go.

That'll be a 25, and then a little bit better at six points of bludgeoning. Six points of bludgeoning as you slam in. And it seems to be taking some damage, not a ton, but it's definitely doing the full attack. you're smashing into it. Okay, lift you're off. How does number six look?

It's definitely to doubt. Okay, I'm going to run. No, fuck me. It's not going to attack it and probably also just bonus attack it. Okay. With my sperm. Your sperm? My sperm.

Your sperm. Your sperm. Yeah, my sperm. So. 13, yeah, 25 and 13. 25 and 13, 13, 13 missed 25 minutes. Meh. Seven damage.

Seven damage. Seven damage as you smash into it with a spoon as it's looking rough, but it's still hanging on. And I'm gonna bonus attack it. Okay. Yeah. I looked in the keep for confirmation. Yes.

Bonarr up on time, okay. And that hits? And that hits? No, it would hit. Six damage. Six damage. It is barely hanging on if you smash into its ventral. And I'm gonna wait.

Keep trying it for furious blows. Okay, you need that. Fuck it up. One blow! Oh, no. Oh, no. What is it? Is it not even nine.

Oh, yes, that would, 16? Yeah, that would hit, yeah. Five damage. You punch into it disperses as finally hits it. And then I'm gonna say, you're welcome. And I'm gonna use my last hit

from the fury of glows on that one. You do that. Nice. That is some theories. You're welcome. Some flurry. You got it. 14 to it.

14 to hit. Yeah. OK. I lost my pen. We have a history of that. So I just totally want to get there. I got you. What other than that?

You're welcome. We lost our DM. Oh, shit. What did you do? What did you do? She didn't do any damage. Yeah, I ran up and just totally with it. Okay, totally, you run up and you with it.

With that, you'll take two points of cold damage as the winter reads around you. And with that, it's going to once again, hold up whatever weapon you see it holding. I think everyone will be the Christmas saving throw. Which now everyone that is standing near me can get plus one, two, with my charisma, went down.

18. 18 passes. Ooh. Natural 20 plus, yeah, 26. We all pass. Oh, 15. I feel. 15 failed. 14.

14 passes. So, Lufti is the only one that fails. Losing the one that fails. So you're going to, you see yourself say, what is it? Oh, we lost this so much potential. I don't know how it works. Okay, you're a dying now. You lose two.

You lose a two. Constitution. Okay, that's fair. Oh, no, not health. It's constitutional. But it does affect your max H-Prey. With that, oh, and then it's going to make, as it's just failed, it's just going to try to make an attack on ULuff days.

It's going to turn. And it's already advanced, right? It holds the distance. You no longer get a plus 2D or comp. Okay. With that is toaster. I will lean in with double attack here. So we're overwriting your score here.

So it already has disabandage how? How you can do that. Yeah. So then what happens is going to automatically change everything for you? Anyone besides Chela is disadvantaged. Because he's like full tank. Awesome, activated that. So whatever you get something,

it moves schools with spirits, and makes any disadvantage of attacking anybody else. 14 and 15. What is it now? 1450, both. As you swing both times and the shimmering figure while still looking rough is enabled to dodge your attacks. With that is Corbisi's turn.

Yeah. So he takes three hen psychic damage. He blot-blah! Get him. Wait, did he try to attack me or somebody else? Lifty. Because he's not disadvantaged against me. I don't know.

I don't. I have a little. I will. Hurti, you're doing a really good job for all of us. I just want to let you know that we all capriciate it. And you get inspiration. get inspiration and then let's try this again. Let's try this again.

I used to be into S&M, beastiality and necrophilia until I realized I was beating a dead horse. Tosh's hideous laughter. Why? That is hideous laughter. That is a hideous laughter. What?

That's good. It's a seven. It's a seven. It collapses prone in fit of laughter and it is considered incapacitated for the duration. All of you see this spectral figure fall down laughing. Oh my God. Oh my God. That's fucking gross. Fuck dear.

Maturedeme everybody. That is just that was some fucked out shit. You're welcome and I thank you. Okay, with that, sorry. It's a turn. I'm going to... What is it? Does it fall prone? Incapacity to mean it can't do anything. means it can't do anything. No attacks of opportunity and nothing on its turn until it

until it's solved. You're right. You're right. 100%. But if someone hits it, does it stop laughing? Oh. That's a great question. I am going to... It has advantage if it's on the saving throw, but it's still at the end of its turn.

If you... But not, you deal damage... Oh, okay, I see. So you give it advantage on that throw if you attack it and hurt it, but whatever, like, it's just fun. All right, I'll hit it. You do two points of damage. You know where it's there?

The fact that it's prone means that everyone gets advantage, which is what I'm trying to enjoy. It's your turn, I don't know. Yeah, and I'm just waiting for Tritarek. Oh, no. So I'm going to cast Blest at a first level on Luffy.

What is this? Toa and Felix. Hey, what does that do? Bless everybody. You... Tell me, is that a 1D4 of my attack roll? You roll a D4 to all of your attack rolls. Thank you.

And saving you. throws. Thank God. For the... No, I'm not going to do that because it would... It would... Sorry, it would take its concentration. It would take away my beacon of hope. No worries. I can't. I can't let that go. So instead, I am just going to

cast a healing word on myself. Okay. Because I am not feeling great. Do you feel the power of anewis empowering healing you and closing your ruins. And I'm going to say fuck it and I'm going to Toll the Dead on that asshole. It's a wisdom saving girl. Got it.

15. That fails. Okay. That's the wrong one. Oh, my God. If I roll at 14, I'm going to be so upset. 23. 23?

Okay. I rolled 12 and 11. As it seems to be very, very weak. Hang on the edge here. Well, in that case. My better judgment is to say not to fireball, so I am just going to attack and use a firebolt. Okay.

That's gonna be a miss. Okay, the fireball flies off. That feels so bad. Hersier out. Plus eight, and I miss toys. Bonus action to try and knock it prone again. This doesn't even have particularly high a season. What are you?

All the athletics contest. 23. 24. Oh, okay. Oh, it's already prone. It's actually already prone to this last time. Yes, yeah. Oh, sorry.

So cool, though. But you hit it with it. your shield is he can't really do anything as a bonus action anyway so I don't so I'm gonna make two attacks at advantage right yes that is what meaningful wait oh shit what I've been disadvantaged you would oh yeah but it's incapacitated so it's no I don't think it's advantage that incapacitated just means that it just made actions right just didn't oh oh be paralyzed yeah but I just don't know which ones give advantage and which ones give disadvantage. Because you're arranged, it's different.

Yeah, that's what I'm asking. So it's basically the exact opposite of what, what would work for Vandria. That's stupid. Um, so a 23 would hit. 20 minute, yeah. Um, so it's gonna take, uh, nine points of bludgeoning damage. I don't do this. Oh, fuck! Yes! All right, so.

Why did we put the screamer next to the microphone? I know. I really shouldn't be right here. Uh, holy shit. Okay. So it's, it's a screamer. as it's shifting in and out of old me, old Dakota, which is breaking my heart more than old me, seeing Dakota all rusted, considering I take such great care of her, as soon as it's flitting back and forth,

back and forth, and I see the seven eyes of the Raven. For good measure, bonus action, punch it with my shield, so it knocks the head around one side, and I take the flail, and I swing it around, so it hits all seven eyes

and kind of like bubbles, all of them are popping, going and then I'll sit on it. So you smash it down as you hold it down. It's laughing hysterically. It can't. You are starting to see that your own shape is now completely disappeared.

It is no longer able to take shape as you just see this strange raven-headed-headed creature with six eyes laughing and croaking and laughing hysterically as it smashes across and its eyes all rupture and it dissipates and flies up. And that is the end of the compact. Nice. Well, well-meamed.

Well-meamed and dreamed. Good job, guys. So. For sure. Oh, for sure, Gary. As the silence settles over the room, as soon as you all see this creature dissipate, the cold of winter is gone.

The room returns to normal. The light dissipating. You all feel a light come over you. And you hear a voice all in the back of your mind that says, it's a female voice, almost rasping and croaking. And it says, you are proudly beneath my shadows. And all of a sudden you feel this warmth,

this blessing come over you. as you hear through the stairwell behind you, the, as the doors open, sunlight, or rather moonlight, shimmers in from the very top of the stairwell. And you feel as if you have the blessing of the Raven Queen. Wow, interesting. What does that feel like?

And does it do anything to our max-hb? You all lose all of the negative effects. night all dissipated. Do we maintain the same hit points you were at, or does it just go to our max hit points? So you would maintain, but you do yourself like a couple of which. Okay.

Yeah. So you can be like either short-ass or, you know, use it back. I see. So as the quiet returns, the shimmering all around you dissipates in here alone, and you hear a voice. and you hear a voice call out from upstairs.

I knew all you could do it. Well done. As you hear the voice of the archbishop call down you. I'm immediately running up the stairs to get the fuck out of here. I'm still glowing with light because of my sacred weapon, so hopefully the light has calmed you.

Bye guys. You sprint upwards as you all, you run up and you see Archbishop Zakaria standing there waiting for you. There's that same kind of half smile on his face. And he nods, he says, well, well, done. I knew that you were all capable of it. Let's wait for the others, but it is really tight down there. I mean, you, like, open up that narrow passage a little bit

and maybe install some torches, some inconses, that kind of thing. It seems... I'm going to make sure Iris is okay. You'll probably be the last one out. Perfectly fine, darling, but you look a little weak. Your healing did a lot And I appreciate it It's not a problem at all that

I just wanted to make sure that you survived I'm glad I mean I always hate when there's like kind of two areas of combat I can only really fuck up one guy I feel terrible I always have Lufti at my back She watches me when I cannot watch myself Yeah Oh gosh I hate that

Oh yeah boys yeah I forget to meet you're around me We should go made up with Caprice No I completely agree he was panicking unnecessarily I'll go down the hallway and I'll head up. I'll hold up my flail to give them more light. I'll hide up. Okay?

That'll be the last one. You all eventually make your way up as you see the Archbishop standing there. And he looks at all of you and says, well, now I know that you're worthy of meeting, General Paradiso. I want to give you a token to show anyone that you are worthy and you. received your blessing. And he hands out a small statuette of a raven to each of you. Oh, each have one. He's giving one. He's giving one each of you. And he says, if anyone gives you trouble, show them this. Not everyone will find it equally appreciative of that. But It shows that anyone who values the word and the blessing of the Raven Queen, that you have her blessing.

Well, thanks. This is really quite an honor. You have heard all of you. Yeah, V. You've encountered all of the domains of the Raven Queen, and she has seen it in her judgment. Hmm. To bless you. That of curiosity, and this is a pretty personal question, but, uh,

Do you mind telling us a little bit about the memory you shared when you went through the blessing? That is intimate and personal. Okay. So this thing we can show to anybody. You all have a wondrous figurine of the Silver Raven. Oh. Is that what that is?

Heck, yes. Oh, but it's like it actually behaves like the magic item, Wonders figurine. Oh, baby. It has two functions. Of the Raven? Yep. That's fucking awesome.

Oh, shit. Figuering of Wondrous Power. So I know that we've been playing for like over five hours now. I know that food is on the table. Oh, Silver Raven. I know there's food on the table. Food is always on the table. Let's do that.

Yes. Secretarine of wonders, power, Silver Raven. Holy shit. So everybody enjoys that magical item. Thank you. And yeah, it should be, you all get that. And it also has the role play benefits as well, in addition.

Yeah. This one. So you are all. all around the Archbishop, Aloysius Zocaris, as he's standing there, looking very reserved, but with a half smile and he nods at all of you, and he's just handed you your wondrous figurines of Silver Raven.

And he says, well, there's, if anyone asked you, if the Raven Queens approves a view in his city or in her continent, that is your proof. Oh, sure. And so, I believe it will not be difficult to arrange a meeting with you and General Perriese. Oh, shit. Well, thank you very much.

It means a lot to us that Yuvan allowed us to enter into this trial, to prove that we may be able to attain the blessing of the Raven Queen. And it means a lot to me that she saw something in all of us. It appears she did. And I will say, if it was not for the debt that I owed your father, I would not have been as likely to do it. But this is a small price to pay for what he's done for me. So you can tell him thank you yourself.

I will tell him thank you for what he's done. And I'm glad that I was able to repay my debt. I'm very grateful that you were able to do that. and I will always speak highly of you to my father and to those in Siket for you have done a great thing for the family of the sons. Thank you.

I'm glad I could help, but I'm not done yet. I will like to hear where all of you will be staying. Is it still in the seven heavens or will you be staying in flocks, Bruce, or will you be staying tonight? I'll try to arrange a meeting tomorrow evening. We hadn't even gotten that far to be completely honest.

We probably were going to add back to the Seven Heavens now that we have these statues. Do they help with the checkpoints? Well, if you are given trouble, you may be able to show it. You'll still have to provide your papers, but if you show your Raven, it may make things a lot smoother. Not to interject, but it may be best that we just stay here and flocks roost until tomorrow. That's probably the right move. Very well.

in memory are in memories rest? You remember the rest, yeah. Sorry, yes. Oh, oh, do we know, though, that, um, the general is in, which,

which district the general is in? She's in the citadel of the, uh, okay, so not, all right. Well, okay, then, yeah, it may, it may, it may, it may just be best for us to head back to Flanxie.

I mean, we had a room we could easily extend our stay and then we'd be close to, either way we'd be close to the citadel. Well, if that is the case, I would enjoy the company walking back. I mean, Yeah, I mean, if you want to hang out, we could play some games.

I could teach you a few card games, that kind of thing. I appreciate games, but I have much to do in the cathedral. But I would gladly enjoy the company walking back. Thank you. Talking companions are harder to come by when you're at my station. It's very rare that people are even willing to have a pleasant conversation with me. They see the hats and my medals, and they cower. Only you who seem to be not from around here

are dealing with information that's even higher than my eyes deserve. That are women to speak friendly with me, and it's refreshing. Do we know what he knows? Does he know nothing? You haven't told them anything. Yeah. Well, absolutely. Once we get to the Seven Heavens, if we could go around that way, could we...

Flossers. I mean, as we go around, once we get to the Seven Heavens, could we make a pit stop for just a little bit so that we can just... I'm so sorry, I thought I saw a mouse. Hold out of character, do we... Because they know we were staying there, right? Or no. No. No. There was one shop that I wanted to visit.

Somebody picked us up from there, so I would say they probably know. Do you just mind if we stopped by? We will, because yeah, his guy picked us up there. True. That is correct. Do you just mind if we stopped by where we were staying previously? You don't have to come, we could just, if we could just, maybe a few of us just stupid. That's hard by me. Tell what do you need?

What do you need? I'll just think we need to leave Wadda Rivari, what we're doing. Oh, I say that totally sign. Yeah, I left my ravioli. Yeah, you're right. I can't let it go bad. You gave a sack of ravioli.

I did, but I left it down. That is horrific. It's been over 24 hours. Felix turns out of it says, what's your spaghetti policy? Don't touch it. She forgot her spaghetti. There must be...

I counted them. Don't go snack. I don't know. At this point, you should just leave it. I find that amenable. We appreciate it. Okay, I have an idea when we get there, and I don't want to say anything yet.

So let me know when we reach the seven heavens. Well, let's us go. Congratulations once again. Thank you. Thank you. He leads you all out of memory's rest, back through the Garrison corridor and into the seven heavens, as soon as the soldiers at any of the checkpoints see him,

they immediately stand aside and salute, and they don't even look twice at any of you when they see that you're with him. This is, I'm sorry, is this Brill or this is the art tradition? Okay. Yeah, Zikar. Aloysius. Alois. Aloisius.

And so when you arrive in the seven heavens, he stops and, and, as well. I'm going to lean in a tow and say, or to whoever's listening, I have a way to leave a message. Oh, is that right? And I'm just going to like

nod and... Would anyone like to come with me? Yeah, I know. I'll go toa, and we'll be right back. Get my ravi-on. Yes, yes. I understand the spaghetti policy. Can you use your mage hand to get it? I think it's probably festering.

Duly noted. And we'll start. And I thoroughly believe she's talking about it to ask for the Queen Bee. The Queen Bee, we're going to head towards the Queen Bee. And while we're walking, once we're far enough away, I'll see. Hey, Felix, what's Rapioly? It's code work. Just, I'll explain later.

Let's just keep moving. So we're going to head to the Queen Bee. You do that. You make your way to the Queen Bee, and you see that it is, it's getting late now, and the brothel is very crowded. All of the girls are preoccupied with John. or potential jobs. Do we see Ravali or Madame Delphine anywhere?

You do not see either of them. I'm going to go up to the room with Tolo's assistance, the room that we were staying in, and on the wall, I'm going to take 10 minutes to cast illusory script. Okay. You do that. I don't know how that works. It is basically a ritual,

and it says I write on parchment paper some other suitable writing material. So I guess I have to have a piece of paper and just leave it in the room. I can't write on the wall. But in unbunit with a potential illusion that lasts for the duration, which is 10 days. You and any creature you designate, which would be Ravali, when you cast a spell,

the writing appears normal written in your hand and conveys whatever meaning you intend to when you wrote the text. To all others, the writing appears as if it was written in an unknown or magical script that is unintelligible.

Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear an entirely different message, blah, blah, blah, blah. So basically I just want to leave a secret message for him that only Ravali can read, telling him what happened and where we're going and that we're okay. Yeah, nice.

And it'll last for 10 days, and I set it on the nightstand, and to everybody else is incomprehensible, but to him it would be calm. Sounds good. There's so much better than anything you could have done. I could have just written a note

and anybody could have locked in and read it. But the important thing is that you were here while I was doing that, and if we needed to protect me, you could snap some next. That's right. So you played your pot. I did. I do. Do we need... So Rivali will know where we are because I assume you let him know, hey, I let him know

what happened. Yes, I let him know basically everything because it's secret, right? Unless somebody has a way to hack my illusion. which could exist, right? For the purposes of where we are in a flop house, it'll probably be secret enough for him to just

read it. Yeah. So I let him know everything. Okay, so I do you get at that? You find you leaving in a place is a little bit discreet, but a place where you think... Get kind of like on the nightstand, right? Because it just looks like gibberish to anybody else who looks at it.

Would he understand that it looks like gibberish to other people or would he be like, someone left a fucking letter in common? I could write that as part of like, this is magic. Right, like, letting him know. Do that, then. Right, right. I would cover all my bases as somebody who is of the military and all that good stuff. Before we leave, we have to get Lufty's Ravioli.

That doesn't exist. What do you mean it doesn't exist? That was a code name for a good friend, Captain Freeway. Oh, because it's like Rivale. Well, the archbishop's expecting us to walk back with some ravioli. We've got to drink something. I'm going to bank on the fact that he doesn't know what ravioli is.

Do it. I guess I don't know what Ravioli is. I wouldn't know if you would know if Ravioli, that checks out. We're going to chalk it up to coffee beans and green beans and carry on our way. All right, then. You know what, Felix? If you say so. Do we enjoy a Drup restaurant?

Yeah, so we're just going to head back to Drew. Okay. Is there anything that you guys are discussing while they're doing us? I am Frodo Baggins with the one ring fiddling with Toa's ring nervously. Just like putting it on and off. Like I haven't like used the, I haven't activated it at all yet, but I'm just like eyes are kind of darting along.

Yeah, my precious, nervously waiting for the group to get back and just averting my gaze and trying to not be suspicious. Okay, miss. Aloysius. Is it all right if I call you, Aluicious? You may, yes. Oh, yeah.

Are you originally from Zentra or Stricka and general? I am. I was born in training. I also am a city from Galtica myself. How does one become what you are? I started as an altar boy from as long as I can remember, and I found strength in the life of the cloth. And I have been very grateful to receive the blessings

and receive the support and respect and admiration of my peers and the rest of the faith. Indeed. You seem strong. That's good. Well, thank you. Thank you. Eventually, you'll be convened. And he guides you back through to Flok's Roost.

He, although the cathedral's up ahead, he makes a pit stop and drops you off at the New Bahama, where you can stay. And as he stops at the door, he doesn't enter, he says, well, I appreciate the awful room games, but I still have much work to do this evening. It is late, but I'll be very much. burning the midnight order.

Send us a message if you're ever interested in taking us up on that. I will. Thank you again, sir. Thank you. And after your meeting

with General Paradiso, I would very much like to speak. I would very much like to do that as well. I have many questions. I am eager for that meeting. Sleep well, all of you.

Good night. Welcome to the flock. And he turns and he drives and he Fuck? Drives, uh, rather walks away. He doesn't drive.

He gets he was to be out of the camera. Hey, who got the keys of the jeep? Who is his mother's Fordman star? What the fuck is that Uber? Oh, that shit, 50 years ago. Man, a guy of that stature driving a foreign felica. That's so crazy. I drive my mother's full winters time.

He's so high up. It's like he's probably got a Tesla or something. They don't pay well. Oh, my God. So you're all back in and take a little in a table or in your room. Could you point in the mic more level? I'm sorry.

Was that my foot? Oh, God. That's so fucking funny. There we go. Jesus. Oh. Whatever common area you choose to All the common, whatever common area you choose to congregate in, you're there.

You guys. What time is it? Rockley, sorry, I didn't mean. It's late. It's probably like 10, 11. Oh, wow. Wait. I'm sorry.

No, I was going to say, I'm so excited we're part of a flock. He gave us like a name. Yeah, what did that mean exactly? Don't get too excited about it. I don't want to dampen your spirits, but I'm not sure that all this is cracked up to be what it is. That's all I'm saying. I'm going to walk up to you in a complete serious face and put my hand on your shoulder.

I'm going to say, welcome to the flock. If only you were the first person ever said to me. Are you all right? Who's just so stiffy and she can persisted? She's just very good at impressions. Oh my God, where did her go? Shocker.

That strange dwarf has returned. I'm just kidding. Oh, are you talking about all those other girls? Do we have anything to do? I want to go to me. I don't give a flock. I'm with Caprice on this one, and if you have a few moments before you go to bed, I have some

questions about the abyssal language that if I could run by you. I have some studying to do, but just if you can wait till morning, it's not, it's not... No, I'll answer your question. Where you got? Well, I don't have anything I'm going to say. It's not going to be a vegetable's incident. Yeah. You discuss

the abyssal, some of Ian's and outs, and and you give them some pointers. All right. Hello is Kulak. And, uh, Koolak. But where the bathroom is? Kulak. So it's very, oh, no wonder that one minute's her, look to me weird. Oh, my God.

So what are you guys doing? Are you going to bed? I'm going to go straight to bed. Yeah, I think we're all exhausted. Okay. You all awake in the morning and you enjoy long rest. Oh, long rest. Thank you.

Yeah, I'm with you. On that one. Oh, on, Iris. Go on. You awake feeling incredibly well rested. That was a very, despite it being just, you know, a single encounter, a single trial, it took a lot out of you in a way that you thought that standard combat couldn't. It felt like just the threads of fate were being pulled in every which way, and it felt

very good to sleep that off. You all awake this morning, and you're free to do whatever you like. So the meetings, I guess we're all in the same, or half of us in the room. I'll go down to the main area. Okay. You go to the main area. Is there any tea? You can order some tea.

I would like to do that. You order some tea. You order some tea. There's some breakfast available. We'll say like for the group, it's like five silver to get everything that you need. All right. Well, I'm happy to pay my portion. Or six silver, one silver each.

Hey. That makes it easy. How much for coffee? I think it's just one silver for everything you want, unless you're just getting liquids if you want breakfast, it's one silver. Do you enjoy breakfast? Mm, breakfast. Mm.

That's what I like. Yes. That's what I like. So we have a meeting this evening. Is it right? Mm-hmm. Correct. So do we just, I mean, I'm a bit concerned

that we haven't seen Ravali in like two and a half days. Well, to be fair, we haven't been back to the seven heavens except for the messages that we left him. And he doesn't have any way to contact us, except for this sigil that he left. So as long as this thing doesn't go off, we can assume that he's safe and okay. Does it have a rain?

Did he ever say it has a range? Oh, he didn't mention that. I trust that he wouldn't give us this if it was useless outside of a certain distance. I mean, he knows what he's doing. Well, I think we just relax and I don't want to draw too much attention to us around the town. I mean, I guess we could, we have these things now,

and I pull up my silver raven. I guess we can more freely move between districts, but he did say we need to just don't go back to Skyreach. We need to stay away from Skyreach. And if anyone needs me, I'm going to be in the room, the gentleman's room, studying. Don't hesitate to come get me. But until this evening, I don't really have anything I want to do.

I don't want to show my face, and I'd like to lay low and study. So just let me know if anyone needs anything. And I'm going to take my tea and head up to them. Dorsey arrived and you're able to discuss whatever you like. Are you looking at me? Oh, you look like you might be hungry. Oh, no, not at all, darling. No?

No. I kind of miss Thomas. Do you? I don't really want to talk about it. My heart aches. That's what they said. Don't talk about it. Her heart aches.

I'm sorry. I just wanted to say. Because I felt like every morning we woke up and he was kind of part of our group, you know? But he's safe now. Oh my God, I just had a realization. No wonder those disgusting pajamas smell like that. I was using it as a napi.

Well, my nose is pretty much accustomed to anything at this point, so that's probably why I didn't notice. I guess I'll go take care of this, so I'll just take my back and go upstairs and spend like the next hour. She goes through her back. She finds out that most of the things in there have been used as a nap-day. That's fucked up.

Oh, my God. Roll like 400 deception checks and X checks and flight of hands checks. I don't think she would be able to see through any of it because her wisdom is literally a plus one. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. Oh, yeah.

Well, I'm glad we could put it all to good use, you know. So, and then I'll spend the next hour, like, scrubbing my fucking pack and my piggy, my piggy butt pajamas. I love those so much. Piggy butt. Piggy butt. Um, well, who's your demontify bottle of the ring just for, just for the day? Oh, yeah, and I'd as well take it off, so I don't get any, uh, child feces on there you go.

Um, so I want to sit and tune with the ring and then go to the Fox Roos district. Okay, that's where we are. Hmm. Uh, four wins district and just look around for like any Goliaths. Okay. Mm-hmm. So, um, why do you need a ring then? Mysteries.

I'm cleaning baby poops, so what do I know? You're doing upstairs. No, yeah, I'm going. No, I was asking you out. So you're going to four winds. Do what do anyone else like to come? I just, because my paper says, Ziegbert, I don't want to be like a Goliath named Ziegbert.

You know, I don't have anything else to do today. I'll join you. All right. Anyone else? Yeah, I'm going to stay upstairs. I'm cleaning diapers. Okay. So I'll just, I'll turn.

in a bird diaper. She's probably known as all of your stuff. And we would go to the four winds. And I was going to sort of walk around and just see if I can get any kind of evidence of Burt is back, maybe. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Of Golias or anyone that might be from my tribe or anything like that. Okay, just make a general investigation check. I'll be looking for a magic potion shop. Okay. Oh, no. Two. So you look around, and as you're kind of keeping an eye out, you don't see, you don't immediately find any Goliath, at least at first.

And Caprice make an investigation check for it. Or actually, I would say that with the time is taken, you eventually find a shop called the Black Cauldron. that sells magical. I love that movie. Thanks. I'll go inside and see what they have for sale in the form of potions and or potions.

You find that they have healing potions. And they have, what is the fucking price of all of those? There's... I... Sorry to quickly shop. I'm just going to say, we're going to... There's costs to it. I have it on a slip of paper that's I apologize for springing this on you in such a sudden manner. This podcast is brought to you by our Patreon.

Thank you. 50 gold for... 50 gold, yeah. And then 100, 200, 300. Hold on, I'm going to make sure. That's what I... Remember I printed. Potion of the beginning is 50 gold, yep.

Greater is... We haven't gotten that much gold. Or I only have 470. Yeah. I've got 335. because I just spend a lot of price early gold on extra spellbooks and shit. Right.

Oh, to transcribe. I'll go in and I will. Superior is 450. I don't know. We don't have gold like that. With 300 of my gold pieces, I'll purchase six healing potions of the basic variety and I'll just put them into my pack

and then I will leave and Toa can do whatever he wants to do. I would like to purchase, I'll buy four healing potions. Okay. We can only buy three. One of these is for you, buddy. Oh, is it? Yeah. Then I'll buy six.

Okay. You buy six. 50 gold each, 50, $1.50, $4.50, and $1350, I believe. So you buy the potions and you eventually walk around and as you're, it's difficult to find any Goliaths. You remember seeing one walking away, but you know that you have to get back. know that you have to get back, you're not really sure when the meeting is going to be. And there's nothing immediate that jumps. And as you're walking, however, you feel like you're giving up and you're ready to leave.

You pass down one of the alleys that you hadn't really passed by. And you hear the strong clanging of metal on metal. And you pass a very small blacksmith shop that's called Raritan Steele. And you see a huge humanoid male, slate gray skin, completely shirtless, covered in tattoos, just wearing a heavy apron from the waist down.

As he's hammering away, almost seems to be a huge axe. Hey, that's a huge ax. A huge ax man? A king jackman? How do you sound like him? R. R-E-R-E-R-A-R-D-E-M. Oh, I was really close.

I thought I heard you wrong. I'll just quickly run up, and I'll say, hey, man. Hey, man. Hello. And then I'll realize that I look like a human. Oh, I mean, hey, um, not shop you got here. Oh, thank you. And you care to purchase something.

I'm Burt. Are you heard I haven't regarded yes I was just getting that was my next question If your name was the same as the sign And it is The name on the so Is that what you said that's what you just said That is what I said yes

Sorry my body is a little He's a little human Hi my name is Capriccio de Sesto It's a pleasure to meet you how are you doing It's a pleasure to meet you how are you And what kind of goods do you have to For example? weapons. We have axes.

Just X's? I can custom make other things, but I'm best at axes, so that's generally what I stick to. Well, it's curious. I don't see any Goliath surrounds Entra. Where are you from? If you don't mind me asking.

I'm from you long. Oh, from you long. Oh, all right. Um, my my best friend is a Goliath, and he's... Dearest Lord. He's not from you long, but he's, um, from the Kani Islands. I don't know if you've heard of them. No, I know of it, yes. If you happen to see any other Goliaths around Zintra lately?

Goliath, no, I'm a strange sight around here. I may have seen one or two in passing, but no one's coming to my shop. Well, how much are your exes? What is an axe, ten gold? Ten gold. Do you have any really special axes, or are they all just exes? Zero regular axes. Do you, do silver weapons, friend?

I do. Oh, how much would be silvering a rapier, for example? 150 gold pieces. Oh, that's a little bit. Would you accept a song for 150 gold piece? Jesus, a song? Make a reception check at disadvantage. Because we didn't check a disadvantage with like a 45 DC.

Okay. Well, almost 45. We'll go with a 17. Song. gold is what I trade in. Oh, I mean, it's a really great song. You could sing it to your patrons, and they would buy more, and, you know, whatever. It's fine.

I don't care. I'll listen to the song, and maybe on the side. No, no, it's all right. It's all right. Well, I appreciate it. I just, you know, wanted to let you know that my name was Bert. All right, well, thank you. And good luck in your business.

Shop. Your business. Your business, stop. Well, goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you. Bye. Goodbye.

Next, you need an X. Let me know. I will let you know if we need something silver, or an X. Fuck. Goodbye. And I too. I love Chavez so much.

Did you get everything you wanted out of that, Bert? Yes. Can we go now? Yeah. Yeah, I think that this place is, yeah. All right. Let's let that, let's come back. Aw.

You mean what we had back. Okay. So as you make your way back, what are, what if you're in your room, you're in the room? Yep. I'm studying. Yep, I'm in my room. I'm scrubbing. I'm scrubbing all my stuff, so it's clean and no longer smelling like baby poop.

Okay. So as you, the three of you arrived back at the new Bahamette, you see a, you see that there are a number of different tables that are filled. in this kind of in restaurant area. And there's someone in the back that has a very wide-brim hat and a green cloak and a coat with a collar popped up, kind of looking down. And as the three of you enter...

Is this name the Fons? Yeah, it is. Captain the Fons. Captain the Fons. Captain the Little the Fonz. And it's a pasta brand, it's a pasta brand for Ravioli. Oh my God.

It's Ralph Mout here, too. So, the hat looks up for every single person that enters and you see the eyes meet and you see Rivali Freeway sitting in this booth looking at you. It is the Fons. He's looking like his alias, the Fonz.

He's looking like a smokingade, out Antonio Banderas, like a snack in the corners. Ew. And his name is. That's a little fun story. His name is Louvin.

His name is Lubin. Louben. I wrote them all down. Hey, hey, Lubin. Where have you been? Oh, we've been in the Four Winds, doing some shopping. Okay.

Did you find anything? What have you learned? I only knew you were here because of the strip that Felix left. Brilliant idea. We've had a very successful time since we left you. We met with

Aloysius Sikarius. And we convinced him to let us accept the blessing of the Raven Queen. We went and we experienced ourselves beating onto ourselves and it was a little twisted, but you know what? That's just a Tuesday, Caprice.

I don't have mage hand. He doesn't do that. He's got two thumbs and has a mage hand. This guy. Oh, shit. I'm like a priest's jokes. Let's not go into that chapter. But we were able to successfully impress the Raven Queen enough that we have her blessing.

We now have these little statuettes. And they also are wondrous in figuring quality. Well, I'm glad we're able to secure the meeting with Paradiso. We're going to be meeting her tonight. Well, that's good. because I slipped outside of the city. Oh. I started scouting around in the forest.

How did you get out? I mean, shit. How did you get out? I got to run to the bathroom. Just you tell Caprice, I'll be back. I'll go out. Don't tell me. Tell Capriese.

My pleasure. I want to go up to turn back into Toa and then come back there. I got a new identity. and from my contact it cost me a lot of gold, but they let me out and I scattered it on the forest and the hoarding Legion is on the move. Oh. They are marching onto Zetra.

Oh, God. What an inconvenience. Those fucking legions. I hate Mondays. Aw. No, no, if you're any of virus. Sorry. Yeah, no, I, uh, that's terrible news.

Thank you so much. We're all fine here now How are you? Where's the rest of the group? I don't know if you knew that I'm here. Burt. He noticed that you were Burtling before.

No, I know. I'm just, now I'm to as all I'm saying. He's also here. And I don't know we, Felix is in the room studying like he does. And I think Iris is, probably right here too. And I was in the room, I was in my room.

I don't know where the rooms are. Yeah, we need to go up and we grab all. Oh, no, what are we just in a room? You can join us. Good idea, let's go. Let's enjoy the privacy for a room. We'll all gather, we come and get you, and we pull you into the room,

and so that we're all in the gentleman's room with Felix and I'll lock on the ladies room and I'll say, hey, hey, are you, Ravioli's here. That's awful. No, I did not want them to bring that terrible bag of ravioli. It's no ravioli, right? Will you like to sit in this, what Lifty calls Ravale?

Oh, oh my God, all of you are idiots. And I'm going to get him, I'm going to go to the room. I followed them because I had just walked out of the restroom, my imagine, is like across the hall or something, the bath house. So I see them all like scampering down the hallway and I'll be like, oh, and I've got like by pile of laundry and I'm just like quietly following behind them and I'll enter the men's room. Welcome to the men's room. Welcome to the guitar center. Welcome to the guitar center.

So you're all in there. So basically the whole group barges in how you came back. Captain, you found us. I did. Thank you for leaving that note. I appreciate it. At least I could do. I just want to make sure you knew that we were okay. I'm glad. Is there a window or a harsh? A small window. Or a hearth. Is there a fireplace?

Not in the room. There's a fireplace in the main. While they're talking, I'm going to take my laundry and just like sheepishly hang up my piggy, butt pajamas to dry and just start hanging them over various parts. Is that your only onesie? He don't want to talk about it. All right. Welcome, Orklan. Thank you for the follow-up. Thank you.

Thank you. We're clans. So, I told the rest of the group, but I snuck out of the city, and I did some scouting around the Clockwood and the Horn Legion, they're moving, and they're marching on the Zentron. I don't know how long. It's only a matter of days. Days is less time than we thought. Exactly.

I don't know how they're moving so fast. We need to convince everyone to take up arms right away. What did you see? Are they just like walking real fast? Or they like, what is they doing? I say, I fly stroll. I was not even to it. He just walked very fast.

Does it fake question? I need to do if they won't have their parasols. No, they're a bunch of fucking controls. Shut up everybody. Fanny packed. They're hiking boots. Power walking. Yeah, boots of speed.

I said roll a blade you through devil. The name is reality. This is very much. Thank you for the ball. Air 176, that's the number of my heart. Oh, my God, thank you for the love. I didn't want to get close. The last time I tried to get too close,

I almost died while you were in the labyrinth. But the trees are being fell in their path, and they're practically galloping, as they're not even navigating the forest. They're just tearing it down and burning it and burning it as they make their way. They're just cutting straight through. They're cutting straight through.

What seems vestful? And I don't know if it's the, those machines that they built, the plans that you all found. That could be it. I mean, do they have enough soldiers or men to even take the city? It's so well defended.

The only thing I'd be worried about, and I apologize for stepping in here, is that if they have somebody on the inside, they may just get in without any resistance. They just come in all the tunnels. There's no resistance. The city's just so. Just sitting duck? There's no defense.

Should we go and shut down that tunnels that we came through? I mean, I think that we might want to alert people to the fact that the tunnel exists if they're going to be coming through that tunnel. I think that's just going to get us in trouble. Well, I'm meeting... I don't think we have to tell anybody it's up. And it's only one tunnel. We know from the infernal notes that it's just one lab that was compromised.

We don't know how many more there could be. I mean, that's a fair point. But how many sectors are there eight? Did we assume that there were eight labyrinths or just four? We don't know. you just heard the Southern Laverick. Yeah, we don't know. Okay. We don't know. I agree that maybe we need to

alert somebody, but maybe it would be best to meet with Paradisa first. Yeah, I think we'd absolutely need to convince her right away. That is a problem. That is probably our best bet, and that's just my bet. Well, we need to have all of our evidence. Do we have it all on us? I have a lot of everything that I have, the things that Caprice gave me.

I got the infernal letters. We have the, we have the blueprints. Did we take the editor's notes or no? I don't think so. I didn't even know about them. I didn't take the editorialized notes. I shouldn't take them. No, I thought we did take them.

But, I mean, I was on the other time of us, so I didn't see it. I didn't think we did either. I mean, I think either way, this should hopefully help us prove that we aren't mine. So all we can do is go as soon as we can. I know we're waiting for, are we waiting for an escort? Is that what it was? They said they were going to come get it. Okay.

Captain, if there's anything we knew in the meantime, I know that our meeting is soon, but we'll try to help. The best we can do is meet with her as quickly as possible. And we'll definitely tell her that of what you witnessed, since she'll probably be more keen to trust us because we've been through the blessing of the Raven Queen. No offense. I don't know if you have her.

And maybe we don't mention his name. We just say we have a contact. We have a contact. As long as she's not compromised, I mean, we could start talking to her and she could be like, oh, that's super great and you're dead. Were they past her or still approaching the labyrinth entrance? Were they far out?

Did it look like they were going beyond it? They have a force that's heading directly to the city. So it doesn't look like they're sneaking in. Well, I don't know how many, the massive thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands. Oh, my God. Can I rewind just a little bit instead of staying in the room today, can I go find a gem? We just do it really quick.

I go find a gem shop and I just want to buy two diamonds worth 300 gold. Okay, I'll say you find, I think I even have a shop name. even have a shop name why don't you throw in some flavor here? Some flavor town? I have flavor town. Take flavor town. Mr. Spicey. Which is my Google Drive, there is.

You go to a shop and it is called something that's probably pretty interesting. Like the diamond seller extraordinaire. No, it's actually weird. It's not going to be that. She went to Jerry. Yeah. She went to Jerry.

She went to Jared. Diamond's all for me. Welcome to Jared. Oh, Jared. Oh, Jared. Oh, the dusty diamond. That's how much. The dusty diamond.

I knew I had one. I knew I had one. There is a gem shop. I would say that you probably weren't too far behind the rest. And the dusty diamond, you were able to purchase two of them. Perfect. It is exactly how much gold says it is in the, on the tan? 300.

300. And you, so you've done it. Yes. And you arrive back. For 300 apiece? Mm-hmm. Damn you, rich. Holy shit.

No money left, but it was better that than nothing. I was rich as hell. Well, I mean, more, it was a lot. I must have started with a lot more gold. No, not a lot more, but I also didn't spend any gold like everyone else did. I had to start off with less gold than I was given based on my shit.

But anyway, hey, I didn't remember. So you've done that. And he's, he's, he shakes his head and says, I don't think that there's, if they don't lock down the tunnels and if they don't meet head on before they get to the city, I don't know what chance we have. That's my concern.

Well, this is like a very secure big wall city. So there's some chance, but we need to convince people. We need to change hearts and minds here. And I think in a place like this, there's anything I learned growing up here. It all comes from the top down. It all comes from the head of the Raven. Comes from Zern himself.

So we go to Paradiso, we convince her, and she convinces Zern. That's our best bet. If she's willing. I mean, it's our only shot. We may be, like you said, we may be walking dead into a trap. But I'm with you guys. I know we ran last time, but we don't have any choice anymore.

That's exactly right. And if we head into the fire here, I've got your back. And that's it. And that's all we can do. Well, I've got six. I can't agree. Caprician I each got six healing potions. Oh, yeah.

Everyone gets one. I enjoy a healing potion, and I'm assuming. How much of this cost you? Everybody gets one more. No, no, no, please. If you want to chip in, I mean. No, I don't have much reason to have gold. So if I can please compensate you for this, please.

Well, they were 50 each, but. Then here, and I hand you 50 gold for my potion. Would you like a letter? Yes, tall, 50 here. Thank you so much. I unfortunately will not be partaking in the healing potions. I'm slowly running out of funds. I cannot provide anything for it.

But I did stop by and purchase two diamonds. They are the components that I need to ask Anubis to bring any of you back from the dead should we get into very dark times. This is exactly the reason why we're getting you the healing potion. This is free on the house. It's a gift from me to you. I appreciate it. And they're just straight healing potions?

Motion of healing? Yeah, 1D4 plus four. Take my healing potion and I'll give you 50 gold. And then that pays for my share of the two diamonds. I think that, you know, if it's a group effort, you're going to save one. one of us, take 50 gold. As I told Caprice, if you end up using one of those diamonds on me, I have no reason, minus my studies and study magic.

I really have no use for gold, so I'm happy to compensate you in any way, especially if it's for the benefit of the party. Well, I greatly appreciate that. To I will not be taking your gold. It is, I'm honored to travel alongside all of you, and I'm honored to put my golden. towards your lives. Thank you.

So that is my gift to you. Are we doing rapid quaffin? Yep. I will, however, partake in both of those potions. Please and do it. I'll take you health potions. Oh, sure. Two per-

Two. One each. Everyone gains, because they both bought six, so you just get one. I'll give you 100 gold. Two, yeah. Or two total. Two total.

Yeah, 50 each. I give you both 50 gold each. Oh, you don't need to pay me back. No, I am serious. I am serious. Caprice. You're too nice, but you should have some money. Hopefully, we don't need to use any of that. But if you

do have a meeting the Paradiso, then that may be the best chance that we have. But the stakes are dire that, I mean, I may even be wrong. Maybe that they could be less than a day. I don't know. They were moving so fast. I saw the giants with massive horns

all practically running to the forest. Well, hopefully they'll be tired by the time we naked here. I would suggest using any inside knowledge that you have, any context that you have to try to start spreading the word safely, but keep yourself safe

and then all we can do is go meet with Paradiso and hope for the best. That's not a bad idea. Perhaps I can have contacts in the districts that I do, where I do know people. Maybe have them keep an eye out for where

barns or stables where there might be more hatches leading To labyrinth. That's a smart idea. Any knowledge, even if it might be rumors, is better than nothing. Okay. Protect the people. Agreed. Okay. I'm going to head out then.

Good luck, and I hope you convince them. Thank you. Thank you. Don't die on me. I've still got the stigma. If we do, I will keep them on this plane. Appreciate it. I've lost one squad. I can't lose another. Good luck. He pulls up his hood. puts his hat down and he makes his way out of the room and leaves.

You probably feel like you only have an hour, a little bit less than an hour before someone comes to get new. Is there anything else you guys want to do? I always make sure that all of my shits on me. I had it all just in case. Oh, yeah. I mean, I would do the same. I'd go to my room and pack everything up

and be like, this is go time, baby. I'm going to pack all my stuff up and strap it to Lifty's back. Except for my one little pack that I keep on running. weights and has my components and stuff on. Okay. I'm going to find a hearth and try to dry my stuff as quickly as possible while still having everything on me. I would say that you easily are able to dry everything and get everything ready to go.

I'm writing down songs in my songbook and I'm putting on the last finishing touches on what I think could be a big hit in forming the people of the Horned Legion. Got it. Okay. You do all of that. You all congregate in the main area. and it's not much longer before you see the door dark end. And you see Archbishop Zakarius himself

step into the tavern. And he looks at all of you and he says, well, are you ready to go. Yeah, yeah. Let's do this, thanks. Let's do this. Well, let's go. And he started leading you to the city.

And he points up ahead at the elevation that rises up, the massive, inner walls and the rock formation where this massive citadel is built and you know you saw the cathedral it was huge the sepulchre was huge that there seems to be a ton of huge structures but this citadel is the largest structure you've ever seen including yourself Capriest living in Zetra I mean in Caldica the greatest city in the world one of the walk probably still the largest city but no structure or fortress or anything like this has is remotely close anything that you

you've seen. Wow. And you approach the main gate and you've seen some of these gates off to the side as you were making your way around the city. You've had to. And you've seen that there are rows and rows and rows and rows and guards and soldiers that you as you walk up ahead, there is a heavy number of artillery installments and tons of seed weaponry on these inner walls and soldiers patrolling with huge cross-boast. and rogue figures holding books

which you assume to be magic users of some kind and the occasional person holding a staff and a figurine that might be clerics of the Raven Room that are all patrolling around this and the closer you get you see this massive

iron gate, steel gate as you approach the you hear voices calling out and I say oh it's a car is Open the gate! And as soon as they see him, they began opening. And you see the...

As this massive gate... Color of it. ...in front of you. As Zuccarius grabbed the broom his hat and tips it at the soldiers that are up on the wall. As he steps forward, all the soldiers are saluting him. And he continues to walk through

with the group of people. All the soldiers are just keeping their eyes forward. As you walk through rows and rows. of them and then you hear the heavy shape of the gate drop behind you as you are in the inner portion of the city within staring direct them up at the citadel of the queen's conclave this is incredible you as you get closer you hear a incredible din above you as you get closer you realize it is the cacophonous croaking of ravens as you look look up and there just flocks, swarms and swarms of ravens

flying all around this massive citadel around you. In every bit of, every ramp coming out of windows, flying roosting all over you. It almost looks like there's a dark cloud over this citadown. As you make your way up, the winding path, up the path through the rock formation, up into the huge gate, And you see that there's a number of soldiers once again and artillery installments on the different parts of this citadel.

And once again, the voices call out as soon as they see Sikarius and they open the gate. And you stare inside to a grand hall as the gate opens. And you see that there's just huge torches and braziers all throughout this as the gate opens. you all step in. The din of the ravens and the soldiers crying out behind you is silenced as the gate closes behind you. You see smooth, polished black marble floors.

Incredibly, perfectly forged steel plating on all of the walls, heavy stonework in the foundations. And they're, It's dark, it's incredibly well lit, but just the sheer darkness of all the material that this is built with is, it's still a very kind of dark and gloomy place.

You continue to walk through, and as soon as you step inside, Zikaris turns to all of you and says, I would suggest not making eye contact with anyone that looks to be too self-important. It may end up poorly for us. I'll just put my hood up and stare at the ground. All we'll just stare at the ground. Hat pulled even farther down.

I'll adjust my glasses. Out of curiosity, what are we risking if that happens? Disrespect and potential battle? I know it's caprice. I actually am curious of that as well. For where I come from, it would be significantly rude of them to not be willing to look me in the eye. There, I don't know if you know of

internal politics with a military where you come from Prince of Kent No, not at all Well here the generals The generals of the eyes

Do not care very much For each other And there's a lot of strife He says Well we do not want to be If we are an important business And if If one important business for one

Then they don't like the look of strangers I don't know if you've seen the papers But There's no... There's no shortage of people in Zentra that hate all outsiders. Anyone not from Korovaki?

There are those that hate those that weren't born and raised in Zentra. So, this is just... Look straight ahead. Look busy. Look hurried. I'll guide you to General Paradiso. Confidence, everybody. Let's go.

So, as you make your way through great whole... that then split into narrower passageways often that seemingly make their way in a circular structure all around this keep. You wind through these narrow passages as you hear the heavy echoing of footsteps all around you as battalions of highly decorated

it seems like a leap guard making their way through patrolling. You see the occasional mid-level officer that seems to have varying degrees of similar medals and decoration that the archbishop has all walking through many of them looking self-important everyone that you've seen here has been human you notice that there's been bits and there's been various races out in the city of zentra but everyone within here has been a human and as you make your way through the through the halt, you go up one flight of stair, another flight, and you climb, and you climb,

and you climb until you get very close to what you assume has to be the top of the citadel. And you see the very narrow windows looking out, and you would say if you weren't on such serious business, you'd say that this is a breathtaking view of the city, every single glimpse that you get. You just see the massive, strong civilization below you. And you get a bird's-eye view of it in which very, very few individuals get a chance to see. As we're passing windows, I won't slow anybody down, but can I try to glance out to see if I see any like rustling

trees? Fire, smoke. Whoops. Nine. It's difficult to see your passing so quickly and these windows are so narrow to make it more defensible. And this thing's got a huge too. The distances from the conclade.

Yeah, so, and you remember this surrounded by like these kind of rocky areas and the fields beyond that and then the blockwood? That's right. So like you just see the very, very, very, very tops of the trees very far away. It's like a basically, almost on the horizon. And as you're making your way through, you get to the final landing on the staircase. And he says, this is where the eyes generally are. Let us make halfway quickly to Paradiso. And you begin to make your way quickly.

And as you're making your way around the corner, you hear loud, slow footsteps. And you see a shadow cast along the wall. And you see an individual turn the corner and head in your direction. It is a human man that seems to be not even quite middle-aged and it is a is a man of almost

perfectly chiseled features if you could point out a gorgeous if you could use the word gorgeous to describe someone in the city it would describe him perfectly slipped back blonde hair

not a single one out of place you see that he's wearing a uniform that far outshines that of the Archbishop himself. That seems to be a combination of a military uniform, but also heavy leather armor. And perfectly polished boots, perfectly polished armor. And these piercing, piercing blue, almost silver eyes

as you all kind of barely make eye contact. and you see that this man walks, and you see barely on his chest, tons of medals, but then one very prominent of all, an eye, red, with a pitch black pupil. Ooh.

If I had to make it guess which one of the eyes we're looking at right now. Is it secret? No. No. It's... Maybe. Could be.

I don't know what information that you would be able to use in order to do. I mean, because I had asked if I had ever seen pictures of any of them and you said no. Yeah. Right. I'm looking at this guy and I'm like, okay, it's one of the guys. Does he look like any of the names that I remember? Like if I'm just trying to take a name and like attach it to a face in a bizarre... Why don't he say make an intelligence check?

I'm... Be a... Oh, 15. It's very difficult to tell. Okay. but you see this man past you. And he is walking with purpose. And as he passes you, you see his,

he never stops walking, but his pace slows slightly. And you feel those piercing blue eyes follow you. As the priest, as the archbishop just continues guiding you. And then after. slowing down slightly, the eyes falling you, then picks up his pace even faster than before. We are so dead. It's on.

This is bad. It's on like Donkey Kong, everybody. We are in the Lions Den, maybe. This is like when Indiana Jones goes to the book burning thing in the third movie, and it's like all the enemy. Ever? I've never seen Indiana Jones. Lots of a movie night.

Any Indiana Jones? None of them. They're, you know, they're really fine. They're only a legender, because they're, Unbelievable. You have to watch them. But one of my favorite, my favorite thing in the entire world is Tomb Raider.

I love shit like that. Movie night. So I need to watch it. I just haven't had an opportunity. Movie night. Very dangerous. A lens of a movie night. Yes, please.

So the eye is, so there's a black pupil and a red iris and it's just like a wide open pin looking, like an eye. It's like a military medal, but it is huge, far more than any of the other medals that you've seen on any of the officers on the breast. and it's hanging very prominently. And you can get a sense that it's probably the mark of the eye.

You may have already mentioned this, but are there generals that are not eyes or are all eyes generals and vice versa? No, you know that there are like Lieutenant Generals. But as far as just like the title general, those are full of eyes. So there's like Lieutenant General and then Brigadier General.

If you're an I, you're a general. Yes. And if you're a general, that doesn't, regardless of whether you have Lieutenant or Brigadier It doesn't necessarily mean that you're an eye. No. Only, yeah, no, if you have the title general, that means you're like square is the right. There's the high general, which is Zern.

There's the generals, there's the generals, and then there's the generals, and then all the other generals. Hot and dig it. So, with, while that was happening, I was basically trying to angle myself so that I was hopefully blocking as much of Phoenix as possible. Thank you. As that guy was gone by.

Just seeing you. Can you make a, what would that be? Angling yourself? Performance. I mean, I'm happy to also make a stealth check. Why don't you make a stealth check? In addition to some sort of performance or something. Yeah, maybe make a sled of hand check to see how nonchalant you are.

I hate these guys. 21. I hate these guys. Eight. Eight. Okay. So I'm just going to keep that in mind as you attempt that. And eventually, as a Kaurius leads you to a massive wooded

door and emblazoned on this door is the same same that was on the breast of the man that you passed, the huge eye. And he gives it a knock. And you hear, enter. And he turns, he says, I will announce him. The door opens. He steps inside and it closes. And he...

And you're all there waiting. You see the occasional soldiers walking by, some maybe lower level generals or officers walking by, standing outside, and then maybe after about five, or about five minutes, the door opens once again, and he returns and he says, well, she is ready to see you. This is where I give you my leave.

Will you be waiting for us here just to take us back down? She should be able to send someone to escort you back there. Out in the city, right into hell. All right. Well, I look forward to the day that we get to have our meeting, and until then, may Anubis watch over you, and may the scales tip ever in your favor. May the shadow cast over you and fill you

with the protection and the comfort of the Raven Queen. Good luck. I look forward to our discussion. Thank you. Thank you, Alanis. Susan, you know what to find me. We do. I just at the cathedral. I'm usually there. Oh, you're so bad.

So I'll wait for him to get out of earshot, unless anyone would be. And he gnarled. Okay, so, like, we practiced you guys. Iris is going to be doing most of the talking. Oh, no, not at all. We didn't practice this. Oh, well, I thought, I saw just as hoon.

Freaks open. Guys, we got to, we got to just do this. We're going to lay out our case. Everybody jump in when you're going to jump in. I start to walk forward, and I put my arm behind toe, and I kind of push him forward with me as well. I'll follow. I'll lock in first.

You, the door opens, and you see that there is a young female soldier. He'll leave the door open for you. And he drives off. Alawish just drives off. Oh, yeah, he drives off. Aloisio gets in his Toyota camera. He never going to live that one down.

Ever. He took you to drift down the spiral staircases. And he drives off. God damn. Her left to go right. God damn. It's recalculating. It's recalculating.

The door opens. And before you is a large room, but not too huge, but absolutely perfectly maintained office. And there is a large wooden desk, number of chairs in front of it, beautifully, completely crafted, furniture, cabinets, desks, chairs, there's a table that seems to be for meetings. And there even seems to be on the far right of the room, a small area of worship, small shrine of the Raiden Queen with a number of very small pews and a small box

that looks like a out of here, like a tavernacle or something. And you see a number of, there's two, There's two guards on either side of the door, but directly ahead of you is a woman. She doesn't seem to be that much older than the gentleman that you passed. She has eyes that are very wide and green

and bright orange hair, almost fiery, tied up and pulled back into a large bud on the back of her head. She has a number of freckles on her face, particularly centering around her nose. And she's wearing the same uniform that you saw the gentleman wearing that passed you. Same military pen.

Same military badge, the eye of the raven. She looks at all of you. Crossed us as a new for a moment. The Karia said that you had some very important information that he himself couldn't even tell me. Upon being addressed, almost without thinking, I straighten up, I take off my hat, and I say, General Paradiso,

and as my hand goes to my head, I accidentally rub my hand through my hair, and I said, I'm, uh, Albert, it's a pleasure to meet you. Hi, General Peridio, how you doing? I need you to make a exception check. And, no, I'm not, no. Twist the feet.

I'm not. I rolled it five. Twist it out. Oh, yeah. Twist it. We have a thing. Do the thing. Do the thing.

That's what it's for. It's for. Do the thing. Unless you want to be caught. I don't know. I don't want to be caught, but I feel like there you go. 17.

Okay. Okay. Sorry, 16, 16. So she washes all of you and she says, I'm very nice to meet all of you. all of you, but you know who I am. I'm told of who you are. What is this information?

Is this room secure? Can you guarantee that there's no one listening but you? Hmm. Besides them, she nods at the two young female officers. And can you guarantee their complete loyalty to you? I can, of course. And only you. If you provide me a reason why I should just be my eyes.

eyes, I may be able to make arrangements. Seems like we need a little privacy to share what we have to tell you. Can you guarantee us? We have to make sure that this information is not going to get to the ears of any of the other eyes. It is only for you. And that is imperative. You will know why once we begin to tell you. Make persuasion chat.

I'm not persuasive today. Seeson. Ten. Do we use that? Do you think? If you provide me... I'll keep talking. If you provide me proof, I require proof.

You require proof to know that there is something going down with one of the other eyes. That's a very, very serious accusation. Of course it is. We wouldn't be here for twice. It's only in the beginning of what we have to tell you. Do you... I'm Iris of the Sands. I'm daughter of the Pharaoh of Sacket. Jasper of the Sands.

I would not be risking my father's reputation. I would not be risking my life or that of my friends to come with you with false accusations We need to make sure that your ears are the only ones that this information befalls upon I appreciate that are the only reason that You all are here is because Sakari spoke so highly of you and your father I know what he knows I know what he's done but it is a very serious accusation I understand that I've heard whispers and rumors from some of the other eyes, but they've been whispering and rumoring for as long as I've been in Zentra. You never know what to trust, or was the grumbling of old men.

Why, we don't look very old, do we? We should stop wasting the general's time. Do you mind if I just cut to the chase? No, I do honestly mind. And the reason that I mind is quite simply this. We do have proof and we're happy to provide it to you, but I would think as a general, as someone as high up as you are, that the protection of those in this city and yourself is incredibly important to you, you would understand that that proof is important to be handed to you,

when you can guarantee that there are no secret listeners. And to me, it seems completely crazy that for a second you would even think to yourself that you would entertain us telling you anything of the utmost secret. in front of people you can't guarantee 100% trust and loyalty. Make a persuasion check advantage, please. Ooh. That's a D1.1 roll. No, roll that one.

16. 16. She looks at you and her eyes narrow a little bit, and she thinks for a moment. Thank you, Common Cam, for the follow. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Her eyes narrow and she thinks for a moment, and then she gives the...

gives the two soldiers a nod, and both of them stand at attention and open the door, and they make their way out. And you can see that they're getting ready to stand directly outside, and the door shut. And she looks at all of you, and she says, there, no one is listening or seeing speak. Should I cast zone of truth so that may be is a little more convincing? I don't think that's necessary. I trust that General Paradiso will be truthful with us. No, no, I meant just so that she felt comfortable

with what we were about to provide. I appreciate that, but I'm a very good judge of those that are lying and those that are telling the truth, which is why I sent them out. You've seen... You seem like you believe very much what you're saying to me. I'm British and I can't even drink tea. You got this buddy.

I'm gonna- I'm gonna walk up to the general and say, General, I'm please accept my sincerest apologies for this, but you must understand, we must be careful. And as I take the papers out of my backpack, I hand her half of them. Okay, please, please look through these and I'm going to hang on to these,

and when you're done with those, we can trade. And I have more to show you as we go, but we must make sure that this is safe. And we must make the utmost taste. The information that is in there, it is time-sensitive. I don't mean to assume, but if you can't read them, we have someone here who can translate. I can't, but she taps her chest

and you see the hand glow, and her eyes glow for a moment. Now I can. Tungus. Tungus. Tungus. Tungus. The Tungus onongus. The big tungus. The big tungus. Big tungus for PEOC spoke and firm! Oh, my God!

Uh, uh, general, just let me know when you're finished, and I can, we can continue to trade evidence here. She reads, Take all the time you need. Where did you secure these? Um, well... Some of them were secured in a labyrinth outside of the city. We traveled through its halls, not knowing that it was going to spill us out into the seven heavens. That would be these blueprints, and I'll spread them out on the desk.

The rest were secured from the local newspaper. And I'll trade the rest of the newspaper articles for the ones that she has. I'd like to have them both. All as a set, please. Fine. From the desk of Wyland, uh, the, the, the desk of Wyland, uh, gubernator. Exactly. It seems that there has been some spreading of propaganda. There are initials on some of those papers that we believe to be one of the eyes.

Unfortunately, I don't think we have any of that with us. Well, we didn't bring that. We did not take the editorial article with the initials. Can you be said? Well, the initials were D-K. Horizon arrow. Now, you said that you had heard whispers, so we, however, were not privy to those. If those initials align with the whispers that you've heard,

then I think that is more than enough information on that front. But we believe that this person may be traitorous, and maybe working to sabotage the entire city. If we haven't stressed this enough, time is very much of the essence. We have a contact who has been doing some recon, and there is a very large force descending upon the city. That's the second half of this whole story, isn't just the traitorous notes that we're passing you

and the machines of destruction, but also the fact that there's a huge legion of horned beasts that is literally marching on Zentra, Thousands upon thousands of these creatures ready to go and nobody is prepared for it. And I have a very dark question. Has there been an uprising of missing children, babies specifically in the city? I've heard rumors from my staff that have heard it from rumors, from their staff all the way down. I thought it was just tales.

I was told by our intelligence capability that things were fine. Just maybe some slavers. Nothing to be very worried about. But this is all starting to make a little bit more sense. I know that this is a lot of information that we're throwing at you and it's it sounds very far-fetched, but you must understand us. All it would take was a moment outside of the city gates. with a bird's eye view

to be able to see what is marching on this city at this very moment. May I all ask you to get in a huddle up, I'm going to cast a zone of truth and you will tell me exactly

what you just said, where you acquired these. I will be happy to do that. Sure, sir. Sure. As you all get together, she waves her hand And I assume you all... I will fail.

You all attentionly. As you all immediately feel yourselves compelled to tell the truth as a glowing gray zone appears below you. This is the kind of thing where she has to ask us a question and we have to answer truthfully or we just have to like divulge all the... You can't be falsehoods in this. Okay. So if she asks us a question, I am forced to either not talk or I have to say the truth. Yes. You can choose...

So I will essentially just reiterate everything that we said again. Yep. Inside of the Zone of Truth. I'll say the same. Is alarming. That's why we're here. I can't believe. Furman was right.

What did Furman say if you don't need you? Ferman always hated him. Fulman always hated him, dear Monta. I just thought it's because he was an old man jealous of a young upstart. felt threatened. Well, that was something we can confirm from the notes that said that Furman was actually suspicious. Diamante and Zern even mentioned this too

was becoming suspicious of his activities. Diamante wrote this himself. They are, this is all true. That means everything we know, all of our intelligence, or reports from the front and from within the... and from within the country, have been compromised.

Yes. By a man that serves a demonic cult. Do you know anything about Baphomet or Moloch? Mowlock does not ring a bell. Baffermet, of course I know. The beastmen of the forest, they've worshipped Baphomet for as long as I've been alive, for as long as they've existed.

But I didn't think that Humans. Civilized humans. Much as one that lives in a place like Zentra can worship a horrible entity like that. Well, they're trying to achieve physical form of this Molok fella. It doesn't ring a bell to me either, but it sounds God awful.

And from everything we've read so far, it's not only that everyone's in danger, but he's trying to overthrow Zern too. I think he's trying to kill him. He is. He's trying to assassinate Hard General's own.

It's so in the letter. Do you know how far this whole Legion is out? Honestly, it could be days. We might not even have two. More than likely, two or less. Less time than we definitely thought.

That means we can trust no one. No, it means we can trust no one. Except for the general and the hard general themselves. Hence why I wanted to make sure we did not have anyone in this room when we spoke. We must speak. I must speak with the High General immediately. She stands up and kicks her chair back.

Please, let us escort you, even if we do not enter the room. No, you are coming with me. Then yes, we will come with you. We're going to see the High General himself? I will speak to the High General. You will stand outside if I need you. Oh, okay. We will do whatever you ask us to.

Take it easy. We just want to save all of the innocent people in this city. I'd like to incite and get an idea of whether or not she's actually believing us and whether she seems genuine in her panic. Inside shot. 13. She seems genuine. I mean, there could be tens of hundreds of thousands of enemies, including giants and

ogres empowered by Bistro magic. It's not just imagine tens of thousands of giants attacking the city, and then imagine that even worse with pure demonic power. As well as not only that, but the blueprint. They don't just have the might of the creatures they're with, but the machines that they've created. They are hell-bent, pardon the phrasing, on leveling the city. We're worried they may not even just be machines, they may be living constructs. I've never seen anything like it in my life, and I've...

We fought one in that labyrinth, I believe. And my guess is they were feeding children to it. And if they can fell these walls, they can get through these walls. I mean, either through the tunnels or through these war machines, then Zentra, say goodbye. It's flocked. I would like a group persuasion check at advantage. Please.

Just out of character, I did not realize this, but the artillery units, it was that Golem forged thing that we fought that was in the middle of the room. That's what that was? No. So it was basically just you had seen a living construct under their control. Okay. And so it just, it seems it could maybe is a similar... Based on the blueprints, where Bali was saying, like, it had a mouth, and it looked like...

So we were getting... So, essentially, there could be other things that they're creating. We just only found the blueprints for a certain amount of things. And based on the things that we've seen as well. We were just basically worseizing, right? Gotcha. We don't know for sure. Ten.

Twelve. 17. 15? 15? 17. 31. Wow. It was like mediocre, mediocre, good.

Great. Okay, with that, with that, she clutches her gloved hand and the zone of truth around the drops. And she says, follow quickly behind me. Follow quickly behind me. We're going to the tower general right away. Yes, right away.

And... I grab Lifty's hand and squeeze it, and then I let go and follow it. Let go and follow on. And she, I get a little closer to tell her, is her like walking. She stands up. And she stands up and she's honestly not as tall as you were expecting, giving her demeanor.

And she begins to start walking past you. She pushes the door open. And she looks at both of the soldiers on guard and just make sure no one comes in or out of that room. And they all salute her and not. and the door's closed. And she begins to lead you through the hallway. And you make your way down and then you find a large door

that is a heavy metal with two soldiers on either side. And as soon as they see General Paradiso, they immediately salute and they open the door for her. And you see a huge stairway heading up. Oh, shit. You go higher and higher and higher. It feels like the staircase will never end. And it spirals around.

Upwards. Tell me when we get to level 40, I'm going to throw up. And you finally arrive at the landing. And once again, it's several soldiers that open the door. And that there's a narrow hallway. You make your way around into a huge, door and you see the figure of a raven and there are two soldiers on either side and then another and another and another and that you see that basically wrapping around this entire hallway is

heavily armored completely at attention with a massive double door and emblazoned on this is a huge raven, its wings spread out, its beak up to the sky. And on one side of its head are three eyes. And as soon as that happens, she turns to one of the soldiers, and she says, I need to speak with him immediately. And the soldier immediately turns,

and almost robotically gives a certain special knock. And generally, you got this. I'm going to give her bardic inspiration. Okay. She feels empowered and inspired by that. Nice. And she turns to you and says, I love that.

You wait to you. Do not do anything until I get back. Yes, ma'am. Oh, boy. I'm a little concerned about this. It's okay. I mean, I don't think. Nobody's going to recognize me here.

These people are way above my pay grade. But I'm just concerned that we're out here vulnerable. And essentially, Kujata is just walking around somewhere. What's a pay grade? I'll explain it later. It's not worth talking about right now. But nonetheless, we're just kind of just hanging out, and we're very vulnerable here. We have to believe her.

We need to be on God and just trust that she has the city in mind. All right, all right. We've been vulnerable since we've gotten into sense. Are there windows? wash over you. On this, there are windows that are even narrower on either side, but on where you're standing, there are- I want to go look through one of the windows, like see, just like very, so not if I don't have to go too far, I don't want to look like I'm going way off, but I want to like moosey over

and look out the window. You mozy over and you look out and this is, it's almost dizzying how high you up, how out you are. You are at the very top of the Citadel as you're looking down all the various layers that let all a stack up to where you are. So where we're at, like, the closest, the next, like, closest level is, like, how many feet away? Uh, it is probably a good hundred feet. I look to myself and I say, oh, fuck. And I walk back to Teetella. You look to yourself?

Yeah. Just like, look. I'm just looking at, like, oh, fuck. And I just walk back to tell. Okay. So, uh... Did she take all of the papers with her? Yes, she never gave it back to her.

Didn't have a choice. So she has everything. I tried. I tried. Then the door opens. And she steps in. Do we get a glimpse? You get a very, very brief glimpse of a stone walls

and kind of this glowing red light from within. And then the door closes. I will pull out my viol and be like, well, we basically just have to wait. And I'll start to. sort of tune it and start to play all over. Please don't make too much noise.

Bam-brum-boom. Bam-p-pum-b-d-pum-d-d-d-d-d- Okay. Such a tense moment. Black-horse on. And won't you come? Minutes pass.

Five minutes. Ten minutes. Save it. 15 minutes. While this is happening, I would like to just go up to the window and just stare out and just see if I just like basically

try to focus on the horizon in the forest, see if I can see any sign at all of movement, of trees falling, of like birds flying up into the air. You're sort of the one window, right? Yep. Okay. There is no Dana only Zoom. Three minutes past.

Oh, my God. That's a long time. Did I see anything? Oh, I'll make up a question. Check what do you get? Sorry. Sorry, Your seat dice suck, Mike. Yeah, they're awful.

During that 30 minutes, can I attempt to cast a major armor on myself? I would say that's fine. Okay, I didn't know if it would just lie. I was kind of expecting just to be so incredibly armored and trained. The power radiating from them

is pretty intense. You could probably get the sense that they are not particularly feel threatened by you doing that kind of stuff. And they're very well disciplined. If you made any kind of movement that made them uncomfortable, they would probably love you now.

Cool. All right. I mean, it would have been just very, like, just touch myself. This isn't like the British guys with a big hat. I can't like fuck with him. Walking him, Alex, goes.

Well, you wasn't trying to fuck with that. Yeah. I want to start twirking like this with a within an inch. I also want to look out the window, but I want to look up and see what's above us. Okay, make a... Julian, if someone else, take a look as well.

Would you say a perception? Yeah. There we go. 19. 19. You look around and you look up above and you hear the, you listen and you hear just the, the caucanus croaking and calling of ravens and fluttering of wings and you look up above,

and there is, and directly above you, is this massive roost of ravens flying all around you with various perches. It's gonna be built in to this. Do these ravens have six eyes or no, they're trained the, normal ravens. Got it. And, and. The door creaks open and Paradiso steps out.

She seems to be, she seems to have a steel look or resolve on her face. And she looks at all of you. And she says, he wants to speak with you. We would be honored, all of us, to have an audience with the high, General General General. Oh yeah. Of course, yeah. We'll talk to the high, the high.

Yeah, we're ready. Yeah, sure, sure, leave the way. He... Do you not think you can pull anything over on him, a word of advice? Oh, we wouldn't dream of it. And I see this is quite... Including your name.

Right, right, of course not. Good luck. And don't... Fuckin' care. Yeah, and don't! Sorry! She looks at you, good luck, and don't fucking talk. And.

Yes. Yes. Vary. Very deep. Why do I know? Sorry. I was like, it was. Because you love us, that's why.

I do. I'm just sad a little time. I'm for your players. I'm for my players. Anyway. So she gives you a salute and gives another knock on the door. And the door open up. And you are welcome them inside.

Hey, real quick, can I get those papers back? Does he have them? You think I didn't give him the papers to the hot general? It doesn't make them sure, thanks. Appreciate it. Nice to meet you. Caprice. And then I'll walk him.

Does the door close behind us? She nods and she begins to walk off. You hear her as you enter a room. Are there windows in his room? No. Fuck. You are. You enter into.

They immediately cut in half by a trap. Because they'd step up on the pressure point. You let's on jump alert. Yeah. Massive room that seems that has hard, narrow walls, that seems to be hexagonal in shape. There are slate black floors, but with a circular pattern,

that is of just this bloodstone, it looks like, at the center. And at the center of this is a huge meeting table with a number of chairs around it, with a map of the entire country of Striga, in the highest level of detail, all of these large, perfectly carved wooden pieces that represent, of, of, of, separate symbols that are all over this.

And you see massive, banners hanging on either side of this room that have the raven symbol of Corvacia. And at the far end of the room, you see a huge seat with steps leading up to it. There is a raven sitting on top of it. And it lets out a croak at you as you then see a man stand. from a chair. He's tall, well over six feet. A man that is very difficult to peg his age,

as he seemed to be well past his middle years, but there's a youthfulness to his face. Very hard angular features. A strong jaw, very strong, prominent nose. Silver hair, long down to his shoulders. all combed back and dark dark eyes

they're either it's hard to tell if they're even a deep brown or a black his outfit is similar of the similar style to the eyes of the raiment you've seen but with an incredibly huge cloak

of blacks and reds and grays and his armor not be heavy leather but of a heavy plate there is a massive great sword at the side of the throne. That as he stands up, he picks up and he and he sits on his back.

Just gonna get us. As you hear a tap, tap as the every single boot print around echoes, as you finally see the source of this kind of red glow, these, braiders that illuminate the room that are glowing with this strain it seems to be fire but it's glowing with this form almost a supernatural magical glow

that's this red blood red aura and as he steps towards you he says so I hear you have uncovered a trait to her in my country and a pretty big threat to the city itself that seems to be the situation.

I assume you know who I am. I understand you to be high, General Zern. My name is Capriccio de Cesto. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Erja, and Andvalhardt, of Clan Anvilhart. I am Toa Windchaser Kamenui from the Makami Islands. It is a small island chain. I don't know if you've heard of it.

It's off the west coast of chalk, which is the southern continent from Yona. in... I don't know what's happening with him, but I'm Lufty. I can introduce myself, but I think he's going to need more from you than just Lufty. Oh, that's what I say. Tell him who you are, by the way. I'm Lufty. Never mind. Iris of the fans, daughter of Jasper of the Sands, Pharaoh of Sackett. Lovely to meet you. Your name precedes you.

as I'm sure mine does as well. Anyway. His eyes glanced at you, and you boy. I look to tell her. I'm Felix. As soon as you say that he arrives in front of you, he stepped around the table. He's finished striding across the room.

He's looming over all of you, towering over everyone except for Toh. As you see that... Bye, by Felix. We're about to be a party of five. He doesn't feel so good. You see that as he approving... You see, as he approaches you, Mr. Khamunui, I don't feed so good.

You see, as he approaches you, he's looking over you with these dark eyes. His bushy eyebrows are incredibly common. His brow is so strong. And just look sternly at you, one at a time. Almost as if he's boring into. your soul. No. General Peridiso

has said you found these documents in a labyrinth that connects to my city. This is true. Yeah. Very true. And we speculate

there may be more than one. And for full disclosure, there is a stable of the like in the seven heavens that is connected to a tunnel wide enough for some of the largest of beasts to make the way

directly into the innards of your city. Yeah. If you don't believe what we're saying, you can quite literally go there. Yes, I can make through with plenty of headroom. And I'm... But he's the big boy. Yes.

Oh, yeah. I mean, him walking out in these hallways is just like, well, throwing a hot dog down a tunnel. Let me tell you. Oh. My man! And he saw these labyrinths, these cults. They mentioned Baphomet.

They did, yeah? In one of the rooms. there was a mural of sorts that depicted both Baphomet and Moloch. And in the letters that I'm sure you've read. Despite Paradito not knowing the significance of us, you expect that a devil and a demon would be working together to march against this city? Well, if you'd asked me a month ago, I would answer that as no,

but as I've seen the murals myself and the vessels in the vessels in the city. vessels in which they seem to be feeding children on top of finding all that information. And then finding out that there's an army less than two days away from the walls of your city, I wouldn't say yes to that question. We've witnessed it too. I mean, we were on our way to Zentra and we saw them putting these crowns on their heads and converting them. Yeah.

It was the weirdest union I've never heard of. It was quite a shock, but I mean, we're talking hundreds of thousands. You insane amount being converted. How? I don't know, but we saw this crown, and it seemed to hold great importance as it was part of that conversion, that beast form, beast plague that we've been seeing so much of. And I assume that none of you know the significance of this either. We know that this cult means great harm to the innocence of villains of this city. and because of that reason that's enough

to lead us down this path and warn to the highest level we had to warn the city that this army was coming because otherwise everyone will die and

including yourself yes there's a whole plot I mean he saw the letters I did I am not afraid of Kujata he must have something that I do not know about The fact that my eyes have been so blind is alarming.

Do you mean your eyes or do you mean your eyes? He ignores you. That seems like a fine quote. As to be exposed as a fool, I really must be getting old. Were you still good to me? He ignores you. He ignores you. That's what I'm used to it.

As he says, I appreciate your willingness to risk your life to even bring this to me, to bring this to Paradiso. And had you attempted to give this, to our attention, you probably would have been executed? But I can tell you, with all this evidence, I know Kujat's handwriting, I can see that this script is here. and he and all of his lackeys anyone who may have known or had a wisp and maybe even more will wish that just an execution

was what they were sentenced with. If Anubis is just, the scales will not weigh in their favor. There are few things just about this world, but I have made it my life to bring justice where the gods fail. May the beast of the waters devour their hearts.

and the beasts of the sky. And he looks at all of you, and I need you to all make it persuasion, check it out. Oh, fuck. Here's such a, okay. I can't, I feel better. Feel better, okay. Hey, natural 20.

Hey. Two. Advantage. He said persuasion? Wait, wait, wait, wait. 12. Hey, a total of a 20. 14. 14.

23. Okay. 20, 32. Wow, okay. So, he said, I appreciate bringing this to my attention, as much as it has made me look a fool. And as he's doing that, you see that he's gesturing with only his right hand. And you can kind of see now beneath his cloak,

his left hand is just in a sling, very elegantly crass. sling, but it's not moving at all as the Hellboy. I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. I'm so angry. I'm so angry. So I'm calling this right now. I'm adding the Hellboy trailer to the Fay Wilde playlist because there are only four songs on it.

There you go. We can do it. But I'm not going to stop it. We're going to listen to the whole thing. That's right. So you see that. that this massive sword now is, all you can see now is the palm, as the sheath is a, is a, the scabbard rather,

is tucked behind the cloak. And you see that it is elegantly crafted of this black metal, the pommel, and interlate with this beautiful red stone and gem work. And at the very end is carved the head of a raven with three red eyes on either side. On the pommel? On the palm, yeah. And there seems to be, rather than two,

two bits on the handguard, there are four that seem to go on a cross that are shaped like wings. And he... Pretty great sword. That's cool. It's a great, great sword. And he... He reaches up to grip it, almost as his eyes stare off.

And you see a bit of anger well up in him, and he releases. I will begin making all the preparations. Cajatta and his ilk will tell me what they know. Oh, and they will, they will regret having ever been born, and much less having been born in my country and betraying it for beasts. They knew what was his stake. and as he looks off you hear the door

creak open and as the door creaks open you see Zern narrow his eyes and say I'm in the middle of as he seems to be completely paralyzed as the door flies open you see blood pooling

at the floor of outside you see a young man of slit black fucking shit Blonde hair, step in. As he is holding out a hand, glowing with dark energy, and there seem to be two soldiers on either side, and these seem to be the two soldiers that were on the inside,

very inside of the door. I will cast a spell magic on whatever his hand is. You beat me to it. Okay. And... Just trying to kind of spell them. Just start with the spell. Yeah.

Yeah. And as this happens... And you have one will finish it. Oh. Oh no. Feel the Zern. Feel the Zern. Can we, so is Zerne bleeding?

Is that what we can... Zern is just... The blood? The blood. The blood. The blood. So the doors are open. You see the whole way and there's blood.

You can see that they are like... So Zorn isn't bleeding. No. He's just like stuck. Oh. So that he can't help us in the fight, essentially. This guy's... Uh, map. Get rid of all of it.

Oh, fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like 6,000 pounds of paper beer. Like a tobacco. To Felix, maybe. Yeah. Whoa. Oh, yeah, geez.

You're weak-ass wizard. What? Damn. She's savage, man. So, he steps, He steps forward. And look at all these little hats. You hear his voice.

As it, as he steps forward, Zern is, let's just, I don't have a minute for Zerner. They're obviously butt-movie. Babbiaga. Let's use... Yeah, Baba Jagga. Let's use Vandria. Ah, Baba Yaga.

Vangris. Who's Vanger. So, Zern. Zern. Yeah! He's right there. Because Zern's a badass guy Vandrus. Mike, I do have a request, though.

I request that you put the Hellboy trailer on repeat for this box battle. That's next session. I'm just teasing it. As he steps forward, he must have a laugh. I was so close to not being found, but I am so glad I'm able to finally do what I've been waiting to do, Zern, you old fool, and your lackeys will not stop me. And you see, and then you see that.

But first, allow me to show you the gift that I've been blessed with, a gift that you could never hope to enjoy. And he goes, as he starts to shift in his skin, he hoops the fuck out. And you see that the other, the other, the swords on his sides seem to do the same as well. And he seems to grow taller. His hair grows out of his skin. He gets rippling muscles, huge black horn.

Oh, my God. Gorgeous young man into a hideous beast that is not quite a minotaur, but is almost as strange in between. Yeah, but I'm like to calm down. I know. Renee because Somewhere in a vanter It's somewhere in a vantress Renee's sweater

Two soldiers on his side shift and this is far more immediate and they are covered in these pestilent boils and they all look at you behind these goat-like eyes with a shaggy, grayish, whitish fur as they

as you see Deamante Cujado hold out his hand and a massive vicious black glave appears in it. And so I need a group, so everyone will furnition. Boyle! 20.

I got 22. 20. I got old 22. 20. I rolled, but I don't remember. Is that the entrance? Yes. Oh, so I actually should have flipped the.

Yeah. Oh, because he would have been behind. Yeah. He would have been here. That's fine. 22? Who'd have been closest to him? I was very close to him.

Go ahead. Can I go first? Yeah. I had to roll. I would probably be out. I actually shouldn't take that. I rolled once, but I forgot what it was. I think it was a 15.

Here and Felix. I'm just next to Toa. I'm gonna go with the 15. Okay. So would you get Irish? I'm gonna be 23. 23. Anyone else have a 20?

I got a 22. 22. Felix. So it should, yeah, Iris and me. Okay. 20. 20 for Capri's, damn. Toa and Heron, what do you get?

11. 16. I'm gonna go with a 15. I figure out with a 15. I forget what I rolled, but I think it was a 15. Okay. I thought you rolled a 22. That was my, second role because I forgot the first one, but I thought that didn't feel right.

That's fine. So as this massive bull creature that was formerly Diemonti Gujarata, this man that you had no idea, and that you had only met, you'd only seen briefly. And Zern is, you see that as he is paralyzed, that his hand is paralyzed mid reaching for his sword. The fact that even though it was almost instant, he was able to get his hand almost just up to his great sword.

And as you cast the spell magic before this, it blasts over it, and it seems to be whatever is holding him is too powerful to the dispel. So I lose the spell slot? I would say so, yeah. And as this happens, you see that these two demonic goat creatures

are flanking the new ascended form of Kujava. And so with that, it's initiative, and it's Iris. I'm going to immediately reach my hand back as a bonus action and cast sanctuary on Zern. Okay. And then I am going to just look forward and say, you may have been incredibly attractive the first time I saw you, but you're inside the dark, and now so are the outsides, and I'm going to toll the dead.

Okay. So you reach back and you feel the power when you was kind of usher-in-over- It's a wisdom-saving girl. With saving throw, got it. Take it. Oh, we're saving throw. He is going to get a seven. Oh, baby.

It's just little damages. Just nine, nine necrotic damages. Nine necrotic, okay. On him as you, he just continues to walk towards you and you see him twits a little bit as he takes his damage, but he is, he's looking like he's pretty beefy. Okay, with that, it is good.

I turn to Towa and I say, we chose to fight. Let's make this quick. Yes. I put my hand on a shoulder. I say, go. And I cast haste. Okay.

Oh, please. Then go fast. And then I fall back to General Zern. Okay. So you feel Phyllis's hand on your shoulders. You grab your focus, your raided dagger. And a shimmering white silver light comes over you. And you hear like a clock ticking really, really quickly.

And suddenly towa, you feel like, feel like you could, you gotta go fast. You get plus two to AC, you get advantage on the dexterity save throws, and you get additional attack on you find. And your movement speed's crazy. Yeah, double. Yep. Yep.

I will either attack, dash, disengage, hide, or you're not, but you should just be attacking. I will bonus action, inspire, inspiris. Inspiris. Inspiris. Spyrus with the second verse of the day, which is very quickly. Our time zone is US Eastern Time. Yes.

All restless spirits and undead with your help ease their suffering. On my deathbed, oh, way, oh, I hope to see you there worshipping. So you take a inspiration, and then I will. Oh, are we doing speedy time things here, Felix? Let's see what you guys got on this, and I'll cast slow on the entire group. What is, what's the DC? That is a good question.

The DC is 16, but the question is, is it a wisdom? It's a wisdom. That's a fucking 10. Yeah, it's a 10. And it'll affect all three. That, uh, what was that going to fail? They all fail. All right.

And I will move in front of Zurn here. Actually, I'm going to move right over here to enjoy that save and throw action. Okay. So as soon as this happens, you feel inspired by this Iris, and you then play a very slow melancholic song on your viol. And you feel this shimmering force come over them, and they all start to slow down. And, uh, I need to, I need to say, where are they in initiative? Uh, they are here.

Oh, shit. That's the worst. So as long as they're going to insta kill, Towa will be all right. Okay. Yeah, what, don't disintegrate Tello, please. So, what is, what is it called do? What is what do? What is, uh, haste?

And they can only make, oh, haste. Haste gives Towa plus two AC, doubles his movement speed and gives him an extra action each turn. And he gets advantage on dexterity saving throws. What slow does is they have half speed. they can only make one attack action. They can't do a bonus action. And I don't believe they get an action. And an action or a bonus action, but not both.

And if they want to cast a spell, they have to roll it 20. If they have multi-attack, can they do more than . No, they cannot. They can only use one. Yeah. And they're negative to. Well, that's how this is all balanced.

So he is going to charge at you, as he's going to lean down. And he has one. Did they all fail? So it's half his mouth at speed. How much? What's his movement's made then? His move in is 40.

So he can only move it's one. So it's half, so it's 20. Two, 20. Is he charging for the table? 20. He's charging. He leaps up onto the table and it splinters and cleaves in half. Oh, fuck.

As just shine. He leaps forward with his, what should call it? And he has. He has reach. Oh, fuck. So he can hit me or iris. He has reach. So he is going, he is going, he is going,

He sees you, Iris, casting sanctuary on him. And he's just saying, not so fast, and he's going to bring the glade and the halber down hard on him. Well, there was always a soft spot on my heart for Iris. And I'm sad if we didn't get to adventure with her more. I'm excited to see what Nikki will roll next. 18? Yeah, that hits.

To be fair, if the table was from IKEA, it would not have broken. Oh. That's true. I have an IKEA table with an Andy shaped hole in it. 16 points of slashing damage. I would like to use my reaction to reduce that. Oh, I'm not raging yet.

I can't. No, 16 points slashing damage is swings over and it cleaves into you, Iris. It seems as if just doing that, he was him being horribly slow and it looks like there's way more energy there. He's just unable, he swings in slowly and he moves in and his eyes are flaring as he was. to repeat that after every turn or now? He will be able to make an additional wisdom saving throughout the end of his turn.

17? Yep. 17 passes. So the slow drops off. Well, all right. That's okay. With that, it's no its turn. Go, baby. I'm going to whip around. Seeing this, I'm gonna... Go, what do, me? Stand here. Why? And...

Just he's about to put this guy to blender. It's gonna be too. And they hit Frape, friend. I will attack. First, I will use my bonus action too. I'll spread my legs and crouch down and get into battle trance. And then I will go in for three attacks.

Fuck, yes. Okay. Ooh. Ooh. Oh. Oh. Oh. That probably six plus eight is what?

14. 14. Two of the three. Two of the three. Two hit. That's okay. It's all right. Goat smoothie sounds gross.

I'm not into it. I hate that. For a, well, so this is 10. Plus five is 15. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 damage. 29 damage. Okay. That's my boy.

And then I will, I'm gonna like to do. like just try to, I'm going to back away and turn and just... Oh, he can't take it off. He cannot. He can't. He's, just off. He's off. Slow roll. So he could. I wouldn't know that. He's going to

swing at you. Concentration. Do I only roll if I get hit? Yes. Okay. 21 to hit. Yep. Miss, you son of a bitch. I'll use cutting words to cut his action. Like 1D8. Wow. Ooh. 21. Shit. That would be a six. So that would definitely drop a.

So that's amazing. His ace is 19. So as he's swinging in, and he's like, don't you not get back here. And no fuck that's up. As he's so bad, he stumbles.

He slips on the part of the table that he smashed and Joe's able to get away from a kajah. What are you yelling, horse. All thanks to our Lord of Xavier. Ikea. I'm just going to go up and try to get in these guys' faces here. Okay. And, um, yeah, and I say, come get me.

Okay, you do that. Lifty, you're up. Okay, I am going to like raise my spoon above my head and start spinning it and be like, that's my friend and you disgust me! And like, just running him with my spoon. So I'll make two first half a cap. Uh, 21 and 18.

Both that? Very nice. Thank you, thank you. So I am going to do. So it is 10, 18 damage, and I'm gonna spend a key point to make one of those a stunning attack. Okay. I'm a big fan of this. You do that. So 18 points of damage, let me do that first.

It's awesome. Jesus Christ. Sunning attack? Yeah. D.C. 13. Okay. What's the, is it wisdom? Or calm? Calm.

That'll be a nine. Oh, ho. Oh, shit. So, your son until the end of my next turn. You describe the favor of that? So no, you see, bam. A bam, and you kind of whip your spoon in. It hits his stomach.

He goes, and you go, boink. It's like fucking Looney Tunes. Wait a hurt. Yeah, you knock the wind out of them, and then you pop them on the head. You pop them on the head. Yeah, it's got the liby-to-oond. It's great.

He spits up blood onto the ground. His eyes are below him. Goodfrees is that guy from Happy Gobber Show. Don't miss his put you, Jack. No. You guys are the best. Okay, so he's stuck. Cooper's like, Cooper's breakfast.

Oh, my God. That's awesome. Incredible. I love Jot. I love Jot. I love Jot. So, thank you, my friend. Thank you. So they are going to move forward,

and they're going to get just past Toa where they don't have to there and then they're gonna go in on Toa. Okay, but it's like so past him but not drawing on the attack. And they are going to, as they're going on him, they're both going

to try to stab in with their barbed tails. And you see there's this rotting and horrible, boiling, popping postules all over their skin. And it's really vile. They have, you now realize they have these long barbed tails reaching out from behind them,

and they're going to try to sting you with their tails. Goat tails. 18. Because of a haste, it misses. Yes. Holy shot. That's cocked. In haste, we trust, baby.

Not 18, but this is going to be 23. That does hit. Okay. It stings in on you, and that is going to be a... 13 points of piercing damage, and you made a con-saving throw against... I take six damage. Or it's against a disease?

Hold on. So I did that because I'm resistant. And I will make a con-saving from. I'm going to snitch here. That is 17? 17. You feel this horrible disease seeping out into your flesh from this barbed tail,

but you managed to resist them. And with that, her figure out. Are these fiends? Do I get the sense that they are fiend? I would say, make a, what would be, the Al-Comachak, sure. 19? 19, you are not sure about Kujada,

but the two in the bat definitely seem like things. With a 19, do I get a sense of what Kujada might think? Kudata is probably, probably not a feed. He has, there's fiendishness to him, but he seems like he's transforming, like he's hulking out. It seemed like the other two just like shift into what they really want. Oh, geez.

Oh, geez. Oh, jeez, I don't know. I'm gonna use my action to cast my channel divinity. Okay. A sacred weapon, so I get plus two to my attack rolls. Oh, shit. Okay. And then as a bonus action,

I'm gonna move right next to Iris right in front of them. Okay. Yeah, but that would be perfect, actually. And as a bonus action, I'm gonna, and clack my thighs together and get thunderous thighs activated. Okay. So you hear the clang of metal on metal as Mordens, the hammer on anvil clans out

and you see this kind of glowing, shimmering, molten orange light all over Dakota. She swings it around and she clasped her thighs together as the force of the dummy thickness surrounds the head of this flail with this swirling thunderous magic. Well, her nose bleats. Oh, my nose, who knows?

11. That'll be my turn. I am going to cast Bain. Bain. Bain? You, you, you. All three of them, they are, it's Christmas saving throw. Okay, let's see. What's his face?

You all like me. 13 for a Codotto. He fails. 18. 18. 18. He passes. The goat guy.

I'll have you with those e-mo. So number two, fair. Okay. Number two fails. Okay. Can we, um. So basically they just have to do the D4 to subtract. Did Cujada fail or pass?

Coojada fails. Okay, so yeah, both of them. So could you put a purple D4 on Cujada and number two? And then I'm going to cast nothing else because that is my turn. Okay, so you, you hold your, uh, oh no, I'm gonna try the potion. Okay, you raise your paw and you feel this dark,

all spread out as these strange kind of mummy binds all slither up out of the ground. One of one of these like demons seems to resist it. But Kujada, in his study state, is now bane and is being fucked, and the other one is also wrapped up. Okay? I am going to cast, because I am concentrating, right? So I can cast a cantrip while I'm concentrating, right? Yeah.

You can cast another concentration? Well, no. Tate has another concentration. Yes, right. So I'm going to cast a frostbite on him. Is that a Dex? Con, 16 saving throw. Please tell me you fail.

Okay. He automatically fails Dex and strength saving throws. No. He gets minus whatever because of Bain. Probably, ooh. He fails. Okay. So he takes 2D6 and it has disadvantage on the next weapon attack roll

that it makes before the end of its next turn. Nice. Got it. Okay. Very nice. Six damage. I like it. So you, your hands glowing, ice-blue. Just two-e-six.

You see some-christial form all up, this stunned, wrapped in mummy bindings, minotor piece that is being completely CCed to death. Yeah. Because you're powerful, and then it starts to eat away at its flex. So, okay, okay. He's very rough. I mean, he's not rough health-wise, but he's just rough.

It's just rough. I'm just going to move back here. I'm going to move back here. but still be near Zern. Oh, okay, well, let's get this going. I guess I'll cast a phantasmal force on him. Oh, baby, come on. Gives a good one.

And that'll be an intelligence saving throw of 16, I believe. Fantasmal force, please. Fantasmal force. Okay, how does that? Ring, intelligent saving throw. One. God bless America. Would that weight this interaction of the D4?

Oh, no, hold on. Negative four. Negative three. Oh, really? Negative one. He super fails. He super fails. He super fails.

All right. Well, we'll get that rolling, so that would be concentration. I need to remember that. And also, what happens in his mind, gosh, what could we do? He's going to see visions of the Six-Eyed Raven, but just the head with these disgusting, spindly spines coming out. And they're just going to batter into him. But in the meantime, he's hearing this song, and it's overwhelming. Sing along if you know the lyrics.

I'm ready. Country roads. Country roads. Country roads. Country roads. Country roads. Country roads. Country roads.

Country roads. Country roads. Country roads. By me, he started and they, and you see swirling jurbles and sheds. and moas and boars all around in the spirits. The spirit of John Denver. And he takes one second damage. Oh, God.

He does. Felix shouts, wrong alley, motherfucker. And I'll turn to Herja, I guess. And I'll be like, you got this next attack. No problem. And I'll give you an inspiration with my bonus action. And that'll be the conclusion my turn. And he is just

And then he is unstunned. Okay, so you're up. So he's not stunned anymore. And no disadvantage. Why is he not stunned anymore? Oh, no, he's still done. Yeah, he's still done. Fuck, no, so he does literally nothing.

Yeah, because it's until the end of Lufty's turn. Yep, yep. Well, that's mostly. That is really busted. That's so fucking good. Turn and just ignore these guys, run past them and fucking just walk up and start wailing on this guy.

I think of that. I shouldn't use my spell. I love this music. Yeah, to the end of my next turn. It's over now. So it's advantage, though, right? So 20-something. Hits.

20-something. Hits. Almost a 20-something. Oh, yeah. So 10, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 19, 24. 25, 36, 17, 8, K9, 33, 1, 32, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3,000, damage. Yes. My man.

Wow. You see, you've seen him do some pretty insane in the battle, but he's moving around, and even what he's done, he's moving like the fucking wind, magically enhanced by Felix. He's like, how much damage was that again? 40. 40 damage. What's that? With your middle name?

Well, it's not. Yeah, wind chaser. Yeah. He's like the wind chaser. He's chasing the wind finally with Felix says he could catch the wind with this fucking haste. As he's slamming his mole into it and Kajada is spitting up blood as he's stunned and just a just to spin his joy. There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes. That's perfect. Okay, so I'm going to be still spinning the spoon. I'm going to come in to the left and to the right and just hit two more times. So 26 to hit and 17 to hit.

Do you have your advantage? Yeah. No, so that was the first one to hit. You're in the case. You got to see if you get a natural 20. There's a ball there. I do not. 19 is the same.

Yeah, they both that. Fair money. So what is that? 7 plus 4 is 11 plus 14 is 15. 10. For the first one? All together. Okay.

15 damage. Dammit. Can't remember ourselves and a little bit. You can't sound a man. Smack your spoon on either side. His horn chips as you smash into it. So I'm gonna spend a key, key point for Fury of Blows. So two unarmed strikes.

And I'm just- Both of those are also advantage. Okay. So I'm basically, I wanna like jump up and like bicycle kick him and be like, you disgust me and use my drunken technique to disengage away from him. Got it. Okay.

How far back do you wanna move? Oh yeah, I don't know. three or four squares into Camera Queen as far as she allows. There you go. That's good. Camer's going to. Oh, that's quite debate. That's advantage.

So roll again. Hold on, six seven plus five is what? 12. Yeah. There you go. And I've slept a lot. Yeah. 25.

25? 25. Um, you could have 20. Or do you put 10. Yeah, it was like, 25 to hit. So I think only one hits. One hits. Yeah, only one hits.

17 is a six. And that's six more damage. Okay. Great. Cool. Okay. And as you manage to, as you jump up, one of your feet just misses, and then the other one, it hits him in the head.

It's like, boof, and you bicycle hop in like a fucking Super Smash Bros. And you leap back. Okay. With that, it is... A little monster's turn. The what-the-cult's turn. And as they all make their way into their... They are going to just leave you.

So how does Bain work? B. If he makes an attack roller saving throw, he has to roll a D4 and subtract that from the law. Got it. And this, that guy takes an attack of opportunity and so does that guy right. But they're all slowed, because they haven't,

they haven't. Oh, they haven't. So they can only move at half speed. Got it. So he's probably only dead. So he's gonna be, yeah, probably right there. Your hand flips. He's not slow.

He's not slow. Oh, he's not slowed. Right? He passed. Oh yeah, he passed. Okay, my fault. I'm asking you going to get out there then. I thought they were all slowed, but that one didn't have

Fane. Oh, that's right, no, they're all slowed, but that one didn't have FAM. Got it. Okay, so yeah, there. And both of them are going to... Does he get 30 feet of movement? Yeah.

Okay, yeah. So both of them are going to... Oh, no, they have 40 feet movements. So he was where here? Yeah. So he can get here, right? He was here. And I moved him one more square.

Yeah, so he can get there. Okay, so we can get there. So I will not make any opportunity. So that one is going to channel and you can see as his boils pop and Oh, that's disgusting. And Esther and this wave hits all of you. I need everyone to make a one.

Who's everyone? Constable even throw. Even, is this a 30 foot radius around him? No dicks are off. I'm out there. I don't know if that's. Is this disease or 1420? Oh, I'm like a frightening.

Oh, actually, they're slowed, so if he's casting any kind of spell, he has to roll a D20. I dropped slow when I cast a dynal force. Oh, but never mind. Then they could have moved as much as. So what's the saving? The DC is 13's con saving. What is it?

Sorry, is it disease or poison? Which is a disease? Okay, if I'm a new disease, do I still just roll? If you're immune disease, then you would have moved. You can roll. You can go on, come, come, come, come, come. D.C. 13. I got a 15, so I wait.

Yay. Did you say calm? 10. I got an 11. 11, okay. 10 fails. Oh, plus two if you're within 10 feet of me. Oh, I am.

I still fail. We need to stay next to her all the time. I've tried to do as much to stay with 21. Take as much distance as possible. So who got lower than a 13, by the way? So both of you take five points of the product damage. And I lose, oh, I have to roll. Okay, so I don't instantly use concentration.

So I take two points in the credit, or just three points. So how does that rule? He just roll and you're like 10 or less than you do. You could have five. You're fine. All right, maintain concentration. So you just take this new crime as this disease spreads out from you. And you take no damage if you.

No, I fake. Oh, okay. And then that's gonna happen. And then that's gonna happen. And then the O one is going to attack Luffy. Yeah, I was trying to just like wouldn't get any range at all. I didn't know if you have some Fancy AUE-E shit, you know.

That's gonna happen. Ooh. No. 13 points of piercing points. No. No. I will use my reaction to, oh. Damn.

Seven. Okay, so that's, yeah. 13 minus seven is six. Six. Six points of, uh, six points of, uh, piercing damage. Con saving throw.

19. 19. Okay, you pass. You feel this disease seeping into you. Okay, and with that, it is. Fear your disease. Herja. Oh no, this one's able to attack as well.

This one's able to attack Herja. And that is going to be a 19. Oh, it was baked. Let's swim. That's going to be a 15. 15 is 15. Yep. So it looks like it's going to trip you with its tail.

And then it manages to get reined in by the mum of bindings. And it's unable to do that. The big things are so frazer. Huh? The next thing is going to tell you in a second. I cast a gas lights. I don't believe so, but maybe. West goat virus?

No. Oh, that's the silly. They failed it, so they're baneed, as long as I hold concentration. Got it, god, god, that's fine. With that, it is, um, 13. Seeing that I, uh, my friends are creating disease damage, which I'm immune to, hashtag, uh,

I mean, shout out to paladins. Um, I'm going to bonus action. Can we say hashtag palou? I'd say hashtag Palo-Win. Palauwin. Pallow-H-W! See, now that's a hashtag. That's the quickest workshop I've ever been a part of.

We've got a couple of words to have set out of roof here. I would like to bonus action show up the one that's bane to my left. The creature sets in athletics contest. Is that also bained? Yeah, everything. The only one that, yeah, yeah, basically that. Bain is a pain. The little guy that's bained has to beat a 21.

Fails for a quick. Great, he's prone on the ground. You smash him prone with your shield. As the goat creature uses his footing. Awesome. So I get to make attacks at advantage. Oh, wait, hold on. No, he's advantage. He's your footed, but now he still fails. Okay.

God damn it. He's a surefooted goat. Oh. So, because he's not going to make prostrations. So I still have some thunderous size up. I've got my channel divinity up, so I'm going to make an advantage. And I'm going to add seven to these attacks. Yep.

So 15. So, okay, that'll be a 22 for the first attack. Don't forget you have inspiration. Thank you. I'll hang on it. Two. Yes, it hits. So that'll be.

Are you getting Kajada or the... The prone guy. You should have smite, right? I can if I want to. Okay. Okay. So this will be three points of bludgeoning damage. Three points of bludgeoning damage.

And then for the... To the little guy. To the boils, dude, that's prone on the ground. Yep. Two points of bludging damage. What number is that? That was good. Okay, you smashed out with Dakota, hits his body.

Two, and then two thunder damage, that's a six. Two D six, sorry, no, sorry, two D six hundred damage, which is seven thunder damage to the target, and he must succeed on a strength savings or he's prone or be pushed 10 feet away from you and knock prone. And he has to roll a D4 and subtract that as well. Correct.

And who's this, Kujada? No, this is a little guy. The little bad. What's a little buddy? Strength. A little buddy. I'm thinking of those, those goats that like, get paralyzed when they get scared.

The fainting goats is like the need. He passes. So he does not get pushed back, but he takes seven points of thunder damage. You hear a crack of the thunder as he smashes in and he's still able, despite be on the ground, he sticks his hooves into the stone. He manages to hold.

I will make my second attack against him at advantage. Sweet. Damn. I don't know if that I'll hit with a, thank you. Booty dough. Booty. That's good. Ooh, nice.

That'll be 21. All right. I will pump a first level divine smite into this, so I don't have Sunder smite going. So this will be an additional. Maybe it doesn't say anything that just looks like it's. Seven points of bludgeoning. And then 12 points of radiant damage.

12 points of radiant damage. Okay. So you've snapped. It's back it again. If you hear the clang of Morden's hammer on the handle as the radiant of the singes the flesh of this demon and does all of that damage and smashes into it. How's you looking?

He's looking, he's not super bloody, I wouldn't say. All right guys, I think I got this guy, but you know, just try to keep him down so that you don't get hurt. Is he bloody? Yeah, he's bloody. Those are the first attacks on him. True.

Yeah. It was 30 full damage, yeah. Okay. Wow. Okay. These guys are some goats. Got it. Okay.

With that, it is Irish turn. I am going to... Okay. Could you guys in longer style. Yeah. Yeah, that's two. I'm going to... Yeah, I'm just gonna...

I'm gonna move backwards all the way up against the wall, like where that little corner is. Okay. Kind of like right behind where Felix is. Yeah, perfect. I don't know. That's that way I'm within range of what's his face, but still far out of things. still far out of things, and I am going to Toll the Dead. Okay.

It's a wisdom saving throw on what's his face? Cajada. He's no longer been eating, right? With a G4 minus. That's gonna be eight. That fails. Ooh, two 11s. 22.

22. Damage. And you hear like, boom. Yeah. Oh, and hot goes D-2. I am. Holy shit. And warlocks think they get the best canned for him.

It's a walkers, man. You can get it as a warlock too. Oh, shit. Hold the dead, yeah. Okay. Oh, with that, it is Fuchs' turn. All right. Well, due to the spells that I have prepared,

I feel quite foolish. I'm going to cast Frostbett again. He cast light. Con 16. God. Min is a deport. Fail. Hold on.

So that's two months. Yeah, he tells you will be disadvantaged on the next. attack that Kujada makes off the end of his turn. And he'll take three points of damage. What's the damage? You're off going over him and says, uh, ch-uh.

And then I'm gonna move 5, 10, 15, 20. Ah, shit. 5, 10, 15, ah, shit. You're my friend anymore? 5, 10, 15, 20. 25 is my movement speed? 30, 30. And then I'm gonna use my bonus action

to Misty step out. here. Okay. You do that and you see Phyllis just blink out of this disappear into this puff of smoke and he appears at the corner of the room. With that, it is just... Pritchio! Oh, hey, yeah, let's, um, uh, let's do our phantasmal force first. Um, it's, uh, evolving and now all the Raven's heads have, uh, small red hats with the letter M on the front. Nintendo Let's Go

It's a me Mario Oki doki Mamma Mia Here we go Mario And And

And uh Three psychic damage What is wrong He's looking Where did we fly Here is poured out of his ears And I will, and then I'll say, hey, you know, I found this in the labyrinth.

How about it taste to your own medicine? This gauntlet thing, and I'll three-time scorching ray him. Oh, I forgot. You guys have that. Thank you kindly. I really appreciate it. That's a deck of illusions. That'd be kind of funny.

Oh, my God. That's going to be plus five to hit. So I'll do this three times. That's going to be a 22 to hit. That's going to be a natural 20. I don't know if that natural 20 is scorching Ray. Yeah. Yes, it does.

All right, so let's do that. And then a 18 to hit. Yeah, all four hit. So that's, I don't know what it. Oh, it's 2D6 per. So 2D6, 426, 2D6. Are you gonna keep rolling? Oh, yeah.

I have a bunch of fire. He's got a bunch of d-6. Okay, three, 10, 13, 15, 15. You just fireballed his ass. 25. 25 higher damage to him. How? Damn. is on your hand.

Holy shit. Inferral blast. Two, do one hits and right in the face and his flesh is singing off. This previously beautiful man is now, not as a monster, but a horribly scarred monster as that fucking happens.

Oh man, I really like this thing. This is pretty cool, isn't it? That's my line. That'll be the end of my turn. He's looking, yeah, he's looking rough now. Okay. It's his turn. It's his turn.

He's his turn. He's no longer stunned and his disadvantage. The frost is around his hands as he's going to swing in and make an attack on him again. Oh no. Great. I'm not there is you. And he's also bane.

So he probably, while it would have been a natural 20, it swings in and you see you like it's going to hit you directly at the jugular, right at the mat as he swings in. You see the frost. You see the frost. slowly end the fucking mummy bindings, but it just completely, just.

And the fucking mummy binding. He swings, he swings too high, and it pulls him and he's, he's completely off his game, breaking the fross off of his hands now. I played my part this game. I'm good. I'm good. And literally a 20 and a two. A 20 and a two, ladies and gentlemen.

Toesman going ham. We just have them. Ced him to death. We're good. Okay. Okay, now he is going to make his other two attacks. Yes. And with that, he is going to make one,

that's gonna be a 30-de-head. Wait, wait, on whom? On her drug. That's disadvantage. It's going to be a 19 hit. Minus a D4? You're on. 15.

Wow, we got that 30. We're gonna sit in on my piece face. Now you know how we felt fighting against root and rules. Good, just wait, motherfucker. Oh, shit, we're not like, that look of like it's 19 minus D4. And he swings and he misses on all of the attacks against her job. Seinfeld-based plays.

Okay, with that it is, uh, blah, blah. So insane. Toa, it's your turn. I've never seen Bain be so effective until you started using it. My turn? Yeah, I know. I will. No, but you still have multiple surgery days.

I'm going to attack him three times. Come on, come on, come on. Oh, that's not good. Wow. 60, 14. And yeah, less than that. 16 misses, 14 misses, yeah. All miss.

All miss. As you see Cho moving quickly, but now that you've got this longer stunned, and he's getting really angry, he's now dodging everything. Oh, fuck. Okay. Well, with that, it's turn. Loof.

How does number one look? I only keep them damaged. One is totally undamaged. That sucks. Okay. I don't care for that. I don't care for. I don't care for.

I move. Uh, So I'm gonna like stretch my spoon out in between his horns and kind of I'm going to make two spoon attacks and then also spend a key point for two unarmed attacks. So I'm gonna like ding ding between his horns and like fop. So you can't use a bonus. Unless you want to use a bone, but no time for the other. Well it's the it's the staff attack, bonus attack, staff attack and then a key point for two unarmed. Yes. So ding ding ding. Two staffs, two unarmored. Or two. So 19 and 14 plus seven.

I assume both the... They all had. It's 18. 14. Oh, that one's less good. 10 and 11. Okay. So your two unarmed, your spoon once hit. But the...

The fooons. You back on either side of the head, but then he's able to jump back when you try to punch him. Okay. So that... That's seven, plus an eight. Isn't it doing you have plus five? I think it's plus four.

Plus four. Yeah, so seven plus eight is 15. And then I'm gonna disengage from him with my dog. Okay, you beat him twice, dog is back. And then you leave back away from that. Okay, with that it is their term. And so they're once again gonna pop and pop their boils. Like everyone, but Felix needs to make a con-savings

throw against his knees. Except me, I'm immune. You're immune. That's our 20. It's a con-saving throw. 22. 14 plus two. Plus two if you're within 10 feet of me.

27. 17. Pass, pass. 22. Derek. Sorry, I was playing a heist game. Plus two. What is the, 13. What is the type of saving throat constitution?

And I'll get a 17th. Okay, so you all pass as you resist this disease as they are then going to, that one is going to then put down its head and discharge after you, Luffy. No. No, I hate it. No, thank you.

Oh shit. It's gonna leap forward and it is going to get a 16 hit. It hits. Okay. The barb pierces into you for nine points of piercing damage. Who does? What was the damage? 13.

Hold on. Reducing by eight. You said con is. What is con? What was the hit? 13. Oh, she's doing con saving. Yeah, nine is the con saving throw.

and nine fails? I've reduced by eight, so you only take five. As that, as it, the disease seeps into you, you are now poisoned with a strange, festering disease. Your max HP is reduced by eight. Oh, fuck. Okay. With that, it is that this one is going to, I guess,

stand there and make an attack on... Override max eight. It is going to actually run forward in between Kersha and a priest. And is going to make it. an attack on the priest. That way, sense.

Damn, not within five feet of me. That'll be a... You can do that. Yeah, 29. Got it. And it's going... You can do that

because the creature is in five feet. It's going to be a... I believe it. The 22. I have to have to have an ally within five feet of me, so I can impose... Before you resolve it,

I will use my reaction to cutting words it, and I'll be like, no, please stop! Ah! So 22 minus 1 from Bain is 21, minus what? 1D8.

1D8. What are you? Minutes three. No, you still hit. Okay. Wow. So with all that, still hits. Close.

Close, though. That's gonna be 13 points of Piercy damage again. So a creature, you can see attacks a target other than you within five feet. You can use your reaction and post disadvantage on the attack roll, but doesn't that mean my ally? A creature. Attacks an ally within five feet would be the allies of the end of five feet. Is the creature within five feet or the ally? The ally.

Okay. Got it. You failed it. So you feel the disease, you're now disease, and max HP drops by four. You added the two from me? Yeah, I got, I rolled a two. Okay, that is their turn.

Toie, uh, my max HP dropped by how much? Four. Four. Ten, I can maintain concentration. Okay, one turn. Hershey, her, her. My turn?

Yeah. Uh, do you see, do I sense that Caprici is diseased? I'm gonna say, yeah, you'd probably see that. Okay. Um, I'm using my both. bonus action to try and knock. Kudjada. Kudjada, Pran.

Strength saving throw? Yep. He's Bain, so. I got 14 for athletics. Even with Bain, it's like well over 20. Oh, geez, okay. He's a strong boy. Okay, I'm just going, seeing that that failed,

I'm gonna turn around and smack the, the fiend creature. Yeah, nine. Nine. Nine? Miss. Misses. All right, this one might be better.

18. 18 hits. How does he look? He's looking bloody, but not close to death. Okay. I'll pump a second level divine smite into this. Into which one are you doing? Into the one in front of Gorpian. The goat's, the Gorpion.

The Gorpon, the Gorpon. Oh, sorry. He takes eight points of bludgeoning. Okay. And then he takes, ooh. He takes 15 points of radiant damage. His skin singes and it boils pop. Ew.

As, yeah, fucking roads. I'm gonna have to get that on me, her. And then I'll stay where I am. Okay. A goat pin. So you say there and so you singed smashing your flannel into I was off. I am going to.

Grouti. I'm going to use a bonus action to cast spiritual weapon. Got it. And I'm going to put it down basically right in the area where Persia is, I believe. And that way it can hit both of those creatures, depending on which one I choose. Okay. It is going to immediately hit the little...

I was using that as the... But it's fine. It's gonna hit the big guy. The weapon thing. The big guy. And that is going to be. It's like the space. Is it right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's trying to hit both. 16. 16 misses. Then I'm going to use the Bartik inspiration that I still have. And it's a D8. Yep.

Fuck yeah. Dang. Let's go. You'll be able, you know, no matter what's he says. 17, 18. 18 points. So the crooked flail, the good gone, crooked to flail,

the spiritual turquoise looking, shooting weapon slams into Kajada, with the help of and it does eight points of damage. Eight points of damage. Dimmich, dimmich, gibbid. And then I'm going to use my action to toll the dead on the big guy again.

Okay, you do that. And that's a wisdom save. Plus pain. Come on, come on. Oh, mine's pain. Bain. Yeah, yeah. Damn it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A 12 and a seven. So, um, and 19. 19 points of damage. Yeah.

Jakes. Jikes. Jikes. Jee's. And that's me. As he's looking rougher and rougher, his blood is coming out of his nostrils and his ears and from his eyes and his face is singed and he's looking brutal.

It's almost like he's kind of losing control of this thing. He's falling apart. And with that, it is a booster. I'm gonna drop a fireball on Hersia. Okay. Oh. Yeah. But everyone is one, two, three, four is safe.

I don't think she's in range. Better nothing. That's gonna be 10, 11 plus 17, and then two more. So wait, that was 11 plus 7 is 18. 18. Plus another nine is 27 points of damage to the Kujada and number whatever that is two, I guess. So just those two? Yeah, you have like a deck saving for us, so deck 16.

You can't get L3? You can't help out of three? Maybe it's 20. PMF Cooper, we don't appreciate that. Yeah, we put it here. 12 and a half. Yeah, 3.4.5. Yeah, that's fine.

Yeah, that's fine. Either way, I'm gonna protect. I can pick up to six people to protect. One, two, three, four, five, six. So whoever is gonna in it will be protected. So they have to make deck saving throw 16 or take 28. And two of them are bames, so they have to minus 34.

Got it. Number one passes. And the other two fail. All right. And so how much damage was that? So the fails take 27 points of damage apiece. The passes take 13. As the fireball, you see the bead appear out,

shoot out of Felix's finger, it drops in the middle, it explodes, the two right in the thick of it, or unable to dodge it, it's too quick, as the one is able to dodge some of it, it's a singes, it's flesh. As you see, you hear like, ah, is this completely go creature in front of you, completely is incinerated and falls to the ground dead. The shot is totally burned.

Damn it. I wanted to kill Keogelah so bad. And he's horribly burdened. He's looking definitely rough. And so half of 27 is 13. 13. Fuck that guy. Okay. Toe can finish him all.

Okay, with that, it's a recent turn. How rough is he looking? He's looking pretty rough. Pretty rough. He's pretty rough. Yeah, he's not like on the edge of that. Yeah, probably not enough. Even if he hadn't passed or even if he, yeah.

Yeah. Sorry, to token triple attack is enough. All right. I will run up, and he's still hearing Country Road in his ears, so let's do that damage first. I'm going to stand right here next to the spiritual weapon. Yeah. So that'll be six points of psychic damage from the Country Road birds snapping at his eyes and what have you. And I will cast, I will just...

I'm playing the tune country road. I'll just brang really hard on the peak of the song. And thunder wave at second level. Nice. Saving throw? Oh, God. That'll be a Constitution saving throw. He's bane.

So 20 minus 16 plus. 20 minus 4? So minus 4, so 20. He gets a 20. He succeeds. But he still takes half and isn't pushed of 3D8 damage. So it comes to five, nine, 15.

It takes half of 15. That's a good. That's good. Seven. Seven. As you let out the blind, he managed to hold his foot. He's not that. He still gets blasted.

So. Take care of business, Toa. And I'll give him an inspiration of the bardic variety. Okay. Very nice. It's me. Okay. No, it's his term.

As he's infuriated by the sound of the birds and the Mario and the country roads, and he's gonna look at you, Caprice. As he is going to swing his massive glade down at you and get a natural long. It's yay do, yay, you're retired. Okay, natural one, okay, you're retired. No.

One in four a chance, ladies gentlemen. One in four thousand if he can go all the distance. Okay, I'm not. Bain. That's looking at. Cutting words? You can try. 1d8.

Okay. It's my last one. 15. You hit it. 15. 15 hits. Okay. So, we're slices.

Yeah, almost, almost. As you cutting words, he still managed to cleave into you. D. Lang. 19 points of slashing. 19 points of slashing. As he swans, swings his massive glade into you. What is? Just one moment, let me just calculate that shit.

So he hit you? Yeah. Huh. I thought he was disadvantaged. Why? Because of your- I missed all my attacks, so it didn't mark him here. Oh, well then I will impose protection and make that disadvantage.

Okay. Sorry, I just assumed that was what was what was on. No, it's still, that's a 19. Okay, minus the D4. Oh, it was still hit. Yeah, because it's a 15 hit. Yeah, so, yeah. So, and then I will maintain concentration for my mind.

Market Blade, but I'm... I'm hurt... Okay, I'll believe that's his turn. Toil, you're up. Go, buddy. All right, I will... Three 90s right here. I'm just gonna get there, hopefully, uh,

block any movement towards Luffy, and I will just attack twice. 19, 3 and all that, so two head, one. Two head. He's gonna use reaction to make a swing attack on you, which I forgot he had. Uh, and so he's gonna swing his, and he's still on me? Yeah. 21 to him. Okay.

Nope, yeah, that does it. So he is going to get 15 points of slashing damage on you as he swings and smacks the fire. So what happens? So seven. Zexall those fall! As he swings his glade, he's breathing his bloody, I don't even notice it as I go in with my two attacks that hits.

Oh, maybe. Six, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, plus, uh, plus, uh, plus, 10 is 22, plus 4 is 26. 26. As you smash your mall in over and over, hold on, 27. Come on. Oh, shit.

How can you do this? Yes. My man. My good. Basically, as I'm attacking, he's turning around, and he, like, just cuts into me, and I don't even know. I just ignore him as they're, like, weapons pass, and I just want to, like, smack him right in the face

and, like, keep his skull. Okay. So as he's like, No, he swings at you, and you see Toa, his eyes are glossed over. He is moving like the wind of his namesake. There are swirling spirits, a shark, a sea turtle, a boar, a moa.

They're all swirling around him as in his trance, as he smashes into his side, as he stumbles downward, giving you a perfect aim. As you bring your mall down and smashing his skull, You see it crash as his brain spills everywhere and he collapses onto the ground. And you see a kind of shimmering. And he's dead.

And you, you see a swift group, swift bit of movement as almost in a blur, Zern is somehow able to move in a single mode movement. He withdrawing. withdraws his great sword, and with one arm slices it. And the demon that is directly next to Luffy is sliced in half. And falls to the ground, and quiet returns to the room.

And you see Zerm, the eyes in the pommel of the raven glowing, and he shakes the blood off, and he puts it back on his back. I just want to immediately Misty step to tell her and see if he's okay. Are you all right, buddy? I'm fine. I'm gonna cast... Is the hist okay? Is that too much?

Yeah, yes. It was... I'm gonna dispel rage if it feels like, or not like we're good. I'm gonna cast a mass healing word at a third level. I hadn't done that before,

and I just wanted to make sure you're all right. It was incredible. It was incredible. Let me hear. And then we do so much more. Seven points of help. I brought my shoulder. I'm like, ah, studies pain off, I guess. My max each piece is the same until long has?

She should do that every time. Yes, okay. Hey, health, help, I'll try. I'm speaking, how are you doing? I, um, you know, I think I'm gonna drink one of these healing course. Well, hold on, hold on. How much was the end? Seven.

I'm gonna run up to Zern. He looks at you, I'm fine. I'm at about 50%. Are you diseased? They were spreading diseases. He would just standing there. I'll give you 20 points of landings. He seems to be completely unharmed.

As he says, Kajatha as he steps forward and he takes his huge boom and kicks him over with a single thrust as he looks down at the corpse of this man like, your plan was really just to freeze me and murder me while I was powerless with your goat minions. Pathetic. And he looks all be pathetic. It's thanks to you why I'm still alive. I don't mean to be so presumptuous, but that seemed like he was completely unprepared for this. I'm shocked that we were not overpowered.

Anubis shines his light down on us. I think we sort of slipped through the cracks on this one. I don't think he was, if we had not had the ability to control him the way we did, we would have been putty in his hands. I don't think he was expecting that we would have that kind of magic at our fingertips. He was always the cocky boy. He was not expecting that strangers from outside the city would be able to defeat him.

And had it been anyone else. With those powers, I'm impressed. Without a long way to go, but I am impressed. Thank you. Without touching him, I want to hunker down and I want to look at what's going on with that arm item. As you hunker down, he immediately turns away. No, no, not him.

I mean, the arm that was, he said, you said that the, he had a magic, his hand was bread. Oh, that was, that was the magic that he used to. So it's not an item or not an item or anything. It was a spell that he, or it was magic that he cast on. I still hunkered down and I would like to examine the body to see what I see. Make, uh, make an investigation chat.

I would be happy to. With a 12. 12. 12. You looked around and you see that there, that his body is starting to striven. in death. And although he doesn't return to his original state, he kind of shrinks back. And you see this horrible,

just kind of ruined slash burned amalgamation of the man that you saw briefly before and a minotore creature. And Zern kicks the glave. Like, you may have that as a trophy, if you like.

His body is mine. As well as the body of that newspaper man and all of his ilk. It makes you feel better. This is a little grotesque, but Caprice convinced someone that worked at the newspaper that his penis was going to fall off. So you could take his penis and they would haunt him forever. Wellington was his name. Go for it.

They wish that that was their fate. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. No, you can have this guy's body if you want. I mean, he looks kind of like an empty Capri's son right now, but I think we're going to be over there. Are you a man like that once? That was so good. Don't leave me hanging.

I'm sorry. It's okay. I was waiting. I was telling. So as the quiet returns and Zern steps out of the moon and surveys the damage, two of my own private god with these demons, I have gotten blind and relied on trust of my eyes that I should not have trusted. We have sat too long while the enemy marches and not on our doorstep.

The army of Zentra will stay silent no longer. We will stay still no longer. We'll stay useless no longer. The army of Zentra marches to war. And that is World War Women's action. That was super exciting. So, I'm so thrilled to share with him my song that I've prepared. about informing the troops about the horned legion.
