are back in the ruins of Berez and listening to Karsos Stradania, a legends of a Ventress podcast. Last time, my brother Sergei joined the protagonists after they resurrected him from his centuries long peace in the crypts of Kessel Ravenloft. I suppose I should have expected his betrayal after I killed him. The Azran expedition allowed him to reaclimate to life at the Abbey while they returned the skull of bargain voss to the order of the silver dragon, finally freeing the old knights from their restless lingering. Then it was finally time to face my other mother. Wading into the swamps of Berez, they approached the hut of Babelais saga, and she is certainly home. This episode is brought to you

by our generous supporters on Patreon. You can become a patron yourself by following the link in the show notes. We are eternally grateful for your support. With that out of of the way. Let us proceed with the conclusion of Chapter 13, Mother's Malice. As you look out over the marsh, you see it there, nestled in the thickest parts of the mire. The single looming hut of Baba Lysaga, and in it, lights illuminated, movement, and out of the chimney, the crooked, winding chimney, huts of smoke. is a separation of the light from Arganvost and her darkness like very clear

you've long past it okay gotcha we're now in the darkness how far from the hut are we hundreds of feet yes probably a little over 500 feet all right we can either try to draw her out of the hut we can either try to draw her out of the hut

which I think is wise, but that blows the element of surprise or we try to assault the hut directly. I apologize, I think I overrated the feast last evening. I missed some of the conversation around our topics. That's all right. We each have a potion of invulnerability, and we're going to save it.

Well, four of you have one. Four of us. Sonics will use one at the beginning to ensure that he stays alive and can keep us healthy. The rest of us will only use it if we are in dire traits. The goal is to try to keep those available for Sherdania herself. Wise indeed. Outside of that, I told everybody to make sure that we keep moving.

And don't forget that. And that means you too, Sarnax, all right? Yes, of course. Do I have your work? Yes. And as he touches my hand, I cast freedom of movement on him. Oh, fuck, yeah. Okay.

Thank you, Shepherd. It lasts for one hour. Okay? So what is a plan then to get the... the rest of the lullaby. We need to engage in combat and we'll have to make a game-time decision, as they say. We don't know if it's something that she just keeps in her brain or if she has written down. But I'm relying on the professor, at the very least to be keeping an eye out forward

and doing what he can and thinking about those kind of things while Kana and I handled more combat-oriented sides of this fight. Would you be able to shroud our movements so we can sneak up on him? Yes, I believe so. What do we know about hags and their preferred environments? I know very little. I've never come across one before. Do we know anything about their abilities or their homes or the swamp? I think from a MetaSense, I think I used Slayer's prey on one of the other hag.

but we never got close enough to Bob Alai Saga for me to use Slayer's Prey on her. Or by that, I mean, Hunter's Sets. No, you didn't because you used. We never got close enough. Because I had to be within 60 feet and we weren't. We were like hundreds and hundreds of feet out. Yes. So I, from a meta sense, I don't know how they differ.

That was why I was trying to like RP the whole like they're resilient and probably resistant to lots of types of damage and things like that. But, you know, I don't think we know much more than what normal has. do. You wouldn't know anything more than what the hags that you encountered at Bone Grinder did, and you don't know if they're even the same type. Right. I believe I do have an idea for how we can approach.

What is the upper hand? I can make her think. It's not necessarily sound, but something even more on if I just look very quickly, uh, Just while you're looking rich, Mike, for you, so you know the freedom of movement is no difficult terrain. And other magical effects can either reduce its target speed or cause paralysis or restrained. And you can spend five feet of movement to automatically escape from non-magical restraints such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled. And then finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on your movement or your attacks.

That's awesome. Fastly is your focus. What do you think, Professor? Let's approach carefully. You've got a plan? And I will distract her. Yes, I do. All right.

How do you plan to do that? I plan to hopefully take her focus off of us with an illusion. Stay close to me. When the battle starts, we fan out, and the professor's going to give us the go-ahead here on his word, on his distraction tactic. We'll know. All right? If I could get close to her, I could perhaps take her mind from her. You may have an opening.

Kana's going to try to get up in her face as much as possible. You may have an opening. It will not work if we're trying to harm her, though. I think that attempting some sort of charm will eliminate the element of surprise. Fair enough. You can try to guide us closer and keep an eye on the marshlands in case they're treacherous. You all can remain behind me if we need to get closer for any sort of element of surprise. Understood.

I don't know if the thing out is safe in case anything happens. I might not be able to get to you. Fair enough. One last thing. I reiterated this last night. This, I've faced magical creatures in the past. A lot of them are very resilient of the mind and spirit. If you try something and it doesn't appear to be working, you've got to switch tactics on the fly.

Stand her toes. We don't know entirely what we're up against. Yes. Thank you. Just for mechanically, it removed my master's. max HP modifier, so remember to apply that if it got removed. Oh, you're right. I didn't notice that.

Thank you for pointing that out. That's actually the state. All right, let's approach and get it. All right, let's approach and get 120, 100 feet out. Perfect. So mechanically, what I'd like to do is I want to keep an eye on the swamp and kind of the survival tactic, keep an eye off for any sort of like quicks. sand or any sort of part of the wasteland that may be treacherous and guide them around it.

And I would let's virtually cast Detect Magic before we... Roll a survival check. So I'm going to take ten minutes to cast Detect Magic virtually before we make our approach. You do this. You begin to cast Detect Magic and as it completes, you feel it immediately dissipate. What's cool for magic is may change. It is Converation You cast maitam

Uh Ooh Kana, keep an eye out I'll cast guidance on Kana Okay Is that apply to this role I just may mechanically or later We'll do it for later

For one in a minute 25 for survival You look around and you're easily able to guide them It seems like it's There are many pockets of quick sand It goes about ankle maybe sometimes

cast deep into the muck and it's soft and it's hard to move through. It's definitely difficult terrain but you outside of swatting off some of these flies there's not much to avoid. Thank you. What is it, Professor?

I believe that she's blocked all divination magic in the area. That would not be surprising. I can cast mage hand just fine, but detect magic? I'm guessing arcane eye, scry, none of it would work. And your importance?

Is that considered a division? I'm probably more mechanically just for spells. Okay. Did the girl say anything about this? She couldn't see in here. She did say she couldn't see in here. That's exactly why. Damn it!

Oh, that it does make. She's ready then. I mean, the illness surprised may already be gone, but we'll give it a try. You're still okay with your plane. How much does that impact? you, Professor. I'm...

It shouldn't impact me mechanically too much. I don't believe so, but... How about the both of you? I am ready. Divination magic is that frankly do not know. Miss Isaac, would you

care to shroud our path? Yes, I think it's best. Charlie's a great approach. Ometa, please guide us with silent footsteps in the shadows as we have to... Is it a gentleman out of here? So you get plus five.

Stay out. I rolled max on that. I still got a 19, even with my terrible role. Thank you. Is it plus what? Plus five. Plus five?

25. Oh, they didn't go up to, I didn't go up higher since you leveled up? No, it's always just plus five. Yeah. We just get new,

I get new stuff on it. 27 for me. 30, surprisingly, with guidance. Get your balls out of me. I'm sorry that my balls are all up in your business. Well, that's not good. This could be bad.

But you're inspired, I think, right? I don't know how am I? Yeah. You want to use it for this? No, I do not because I can shut your stick. You can't? I don't know what that does. I don't want to use it.

So, I'm going to hang towards the back. Your plan is to get within 120 feet. Yes. Begin to make your way towards the hut. I'm not going to die. I'm not die. You begin to make your way towards the hut. And as you get to around 120 feet, you begin to hear movement inside of the hut.

You hear a voice boom loudly. You think you're going to walk into my swamp. You think you can get one pass Barba Lys saga. No, let the children come. Granny wants to play games. I need you all for my mission. Yeah, all right, that's fucking do it,

20. Sorry. No, that's okay. I'm glad I didn't use my Instagram. Don't, don't, don't fucking porting. An initiative, that's what you were thinking. I was waiting for a port and on that one when I said, okay, I thought we could do it.

Yeah. She wouldn't be a defender. What's the range on it? 60 feet. Oh, per and seven range. It's right. I forgot to cast Major. I'm so stupid.

Can we say that we cast Major before? Yes, I think that's fine. We're being a good. We can't even if a little and DM. Okay. You hear the voice boom out as you begin to see the hut shake from side to side as the

winds begin to pick up around you swirling bits of fog and and swamp moss begin to swirl around you all of your ranged attack rolls are at disadvantage right are you are you kidding all right um shepherd does that means me spell you yeah you do have crossbow master so if you get up in her face And everybody was the last thing I mean for wanting to take Mades Slayer. Okay, so if it's my turn, I can't see her. I just see a hut. You do?

And you're 120 feet away. I am going to, if we're 120 feet away, I am going to dash and just basically get within range to make it so that we're, you know, we've got normal, whatever. Right. I mean, we're not actually, you know, are we just trying to get within range and do the thing or what? Just hold your action and fire if any danger happens, but I implore you, just hold your action for now. I'm going to try something. At this distance with these, with these weights. A good shot, Shepherd.

I trust you're better than the winds. I hold my shot. I'm not hold. I am going to step forward and I will raise my lantern as I'm going to. raise my lantern as I'm, it's going to glows, and the flame's going to drop on me.

This is one of the final remaining areas of darkness in this land, but I, Garex will be a beacon of hope, and I'm the cat's beacon of hope. Yes! Love that spell. You do that. You're concentrating?

Thanks. Thanks, fan, thanks. And my bonus action, I'm going to chug the invulner. All right. Clayton. So, I don't know this is going to work. But my case will open up. I'll take out a bit of fleece.

And I will say, imitare. I want to move. And there is some area around here that's like brush, or that's like a tree or something. There is around where? Just somewhere like near the hut where someone could emerge. Yes. You begin to hear Stradanya's theme song

as Trudanya von Zarovich emerges from the hut and calls out, you mean from the brush, from from the brush, and calls out, Mother! What do you speak of? Please stand down. Roll a deception. You have your importance.

Okay. Deception? Do I want to use it? I'm going to use a lucky die. That's the 20. Yes! So, my decision is not great, but... Do you love it, we can use Mickey Stice.

That is... He doesn't. 33. She calls out. We're going to die. Trude to use me on tricks against me, are you? Try better next time. Oh, fuck.

It was worth a shot I'm sorry! It is now the creeping huts trend. I'll dispel it. You watch as the huts, its legs, its legs pull out of the ground, long vines, ripping from the earth as it begins to move towards you. It is going to move 60 feet. Could that trigger his attack action? I don't want to shoot the hut. Oh, you don't?

Okay. Yeah. So then I'll say that I'll place just like 60 feet away then. If it's moved 60 feet and we were 120, is that cool? I'm going to place us 60 feet from the hut then Yes You need he's important I'm not good deal

No Which is less valuable So the hut has moved Not us But we are now within You said you wanted to be like out there We are now within 60 feet of the hut Oh my god

And that is the hut's turn Can we see in the windows Now that it's moved closer You can You see the image of this creature Yeah I don't know why I put it So you see the image of Babelaisaga. She's, she has three-quarters cover while she's inside of her.

In that case, if she's moved within range and I can see her, and I was holding my action, I would like to use my action to use Slayer's Prey on her. Okay. Tell me what I need to tell you again. I definitely a creature within range of 60 feet, and at the first time, it just gives me extra damage against that creature, the first time I deal damage. So it's my mini-comer's mark.

Gotcha. I thought it was something to track. No, it's not, it wasn't the hunter's sense. This is Slayer's Frey, it's my miniature hunter mark. That's it. That was my action. All right. She is going to, Dr. that's called active.

She is going to use a legendary action. And she is going to, she's going to look at you. All right, she is, kind of looks like she's moved in front. She is going to send out all three of her hags bolts directly at you. Okay. Oh, God.

And that's going to be a 26 to hit. Okay. 20 to hit. Yep. And a natural one. So two of them will hit. Holy fuck. 32 points of damage from the two that hit you.

Not poison? No, it's not. It's forced damage. It's essentially an officer's blast. Got it. Cool. Gotcha. Victoria.

I'm going to move. Up within, I think that's 60 feet. And then I'm going to just raise my hands up and you'll hear the sound of like shattering the mirrors. And I'm going to cast shatter on the hut. Interesting. So that is a con saving throw. Ed disadvantaged. Because made out of wood and stuff.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, good call. Creature made of inorganic material such as stone crystal. Oh, it's made of organic material. It's made mostly. I'm sorry. He's from the marsh. There's wood embedded in it, but yes, it's an organic thing. It fails.

Okay. So that is 3D8 at a second level. So that takes eight, um, oh, can it even take psychic damage? Eight psychic damage. Psychic damage? No. It's thunder damage. Yeah, it should be.

It's thunder. Yeah. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You reach towards the hut and you let loose your, um, your, necrotic magic, your shadowy magic, is it roils through the air. It collides with the hot and you see the windows in it shaking, the vines, recoiling, but it doesn't seem to do as much damage as you'd expected. And it is her turn. She is going to remove herself from the hot. You see is she stands in the doorway and looks out at all of you. Oh, they are late. Come to Mother. Oh, boy. I know.

Come to meet you, too. We could have so much fun, Lord. Don't you think? She looks directly at Shepard. I know how much you love children. And she is going to look directly at you as she sniffs the air

and gets a strange look to her face. She is going to look directly at you point. I need you to make a... Oh no, I make the range attack on you, cool. 25 to hit. Oh yeah, that is. So it's not much damage, you'll be fine. Roll inside.

You take two necrotic damage immediately. Okay. And then I will have you roll for it. You'll be taking two D4 necrotic damage at the end of all of your subsequent turns. I will mark that. As you feel it in the pin of your stomach, she points her finger out at you. A sickening green magic spirals through the air and slams into your chest. You look down.

A seed begins to grow within you, the vines and tendrils sprouting out around you. And she looks at all of you. She points towards the ground. And you see as her skull rises. I want you to place this on the map in front of... She should see you on there too? No, she's not in the skull yet. She's just called forth her skull as a special.

Yep. Okay. We can see her in the hut. She doesn't have cover anymore. She does not have cover anymore. Kana, my turn is your turn. Bonus action, Expeditious Retreat from my vestige. I will move up.

Can I see her or is the skull... Yes, she has no coverage. Coverage. She has full cover? She has no coverage. No coverage. Is the skull floating? It is, she has pulled it out of the skull.

the ground it wasn't there before. It has not moved. She just summoned her skull. Is it like sitting on the ground or is it slime? Oh, sitting in the ground. Am I within 60 feet of her? Yes. Everyone is within 60 feet of her. So I could get here and like attack her in the hut.

So she is 10 foot in the air. The hut is on its legs. So she's 10 foot in the air. The hut is on its legs? Yes. So now that I'm next to the hut. It's moving. It moved 60 feet towards you. Okay. I'll get within 10 feet of the legs. And I'm going to make a first swipe at it just to see if it'll hit.

And if that helps with anything. Magical Naginata. 14 for the leg. Oh, you're trying to hit the hut? The leg, yeah. The hut. And no, that misses. All right.

Next attack. 28. That hits. That'll be 13 points of magical slats. flashing to the leg. And I'm just looking to see if that had any effect on the overall stability of the leg. You said 13. 13 points. It does not seem to have any effect on the stability of the leg, but you do slice them to it. Okay. I'll make another. I will actually, is she, if I'm next to the leg, do I have to move closer to be next to her?

within 10 feet of her or is this within 10 feet of both her and the leg that she's standing here I don't know mechanically how it would work She's 10 feet above you Oh she's above you I'll make another sleight of the leg 25

Another 15 points I'm sorry 10 points of magical slashing All right you slash in to the hut again Baba Life saga leers down at you Oh this is going to be fun Isn't it? And then I'm just going to a side step so that I'm not within

like direct line of sight of her. Just like sideways of the hut with my remaining movement. Whilst trying to be next to it. Okay. She is going to utilize a lair action. And you are immediately in front of the

hut. She is going to utilize the hut to make an attack against you. Here. Skin too. The hut pulls out one of its roots and it is going to slam it against you

for 20 to hit. 20 hits? Yeah. Tuss the meple. It is Baba the hood. That's so good. Bobba the hood. 28 points of damage. What kind of damage? Bludgeoning damage. Is that and that's one hit?

Yes. So that becomes 25 because of my armor, heavy armor master? Okay. It is going to then make another attack is going to attempt to not you prone and it misses so it's going to make one more really attack against you. Okay.

And that is going to hit. 23 points of damage. Okay. And that is for a layer action. Shepard. I use my bonus action to cast Hunter's Mark and then I make two attacks. A disadvantage. Oh, no.

If that is dropped, that was a layer action. So she's used a new one, you were no longer disadvantaged. Oh, my goodness. That's good. Yes. Yes, keep me honestly. You know how this stuff works. I got, sorry, I forget what my to hit is. Let me check real quick. It's plus 13.

So I got a 20 and a 16. 20 hits. 16 does not. So that's going to be all three fixes. You're talking her? That's, yeah, that's going to be 18, 19 points of damage with one shot. Judgment. That's one shot, you said?

Yep. It's one hit. because of Slayers Prey, Hunter's Mark, and the hit. You watch as she moves her way into the doorway. She's sneering down at Kana. She forces her hut to attack. The hut unleashes its blows into Kana. She's distracted.

You use this moment to fire into her. You see as the bolt makes contact with her shoulder, and she rears back and she looks at you. And a horrific smile. lights her face. I'm just going to swing a little farther out, flanking the other direction that Con is. Okay. That's my turn? Yep.

Okay. She is going to use a legendary action. And I'm 22D4 at the end of my turn. She is going to... She is going to pass a second level spell. Is there any kind of saving throw to stop the repeating damage at the end of my turn, or is it just for 10 rounds? or? I can tell you right now.

If you can just tell me there's no statement that's fine, you can tell me how long it lasts. I just want to make sure. It's for one minute. Okay, yeah, so 10 rounds. That's fine. Cool. Perfect.

Mirror image is a concentration, right? Correct. She's going to cast mirror image. Ooh, shoot. You watch is where she was standing. You now see multiple forms of Baba Lysaga. In unison,

all of them look out at you and begin to tackle. Sarnax. I am going, I'll call out Kana. How are you? I'm not quite down yet, but not feeling that great.

Hold out one bit longer. Okay. A little B is going to shoot out of my lantern, and I'm going to cast a fireball on all three of them outside of Kana. Okay. And that is a deck saving throw for everyone.

D.C. is 18, I believe. She passes. The hut passes. The skull fails. And if they are resistant, they are not actually resistant because of my elemental business. 29 points of fire damage.

All three of them is pretty good. Around half if they pass. Okay. And then so 29, so that's 14. What is on fire? If they passed. Correct. They all take the damage.

You watch as the 8. In a cloud of smoky fireball erupts from the heavens and slams down around the hut and around Kana. You all gasp as you look trying to find her. You see Kana wiping away the smoke, but she seems to be unharmed. A few spots of flame can be seen igniting on the thatched portion of the roof of the hut. The skull is slightly charged. Baba Lysaga looks like she barely took anything at all. Yikes.

All right. She dropped the button. No. Okay. No. She took the whole amount, but it's just a small amount. Right. So, can you describe what the porch of the hut looks like? There's no porch. It's a door. She's standing in the doorwell.

It's a circular domicile. Okay. Are there any, like, effects around, like, hanging, like bones or whatever? Yeah, she's hanging bone fetishes. Okay. I will... I don't know. I want to look at them, and I will say, Oh, wait, it's not technically your turn. It's actually a lair action, or not a layer action.

I'm going to use another legendary action, and you watch, she looks down at her hut. Mm-hmm, baby, hold this for mother. And she transfers her concentration over to her hut. Fine with me. What's that mean? It means she doesn't have to concentrate around the spell. So she can cast multiple concentration spells.

Yep. It's Boston. So I do that. I cast animus, and I'm going to animate 10 of her little floating bone fetishes. And they all shake to life. And I am going to use my bonus action to, I'll just say, attack. What type of spell is this? should be transmutation or conjuration

Is it say here? It'll say it. Transmutation. There you. How would this work if it can't be like polymorphed or it's a mutable form or it can't be changed? Would you say as a DM? You cannot, I believe it says that you can't transmute magical things. I would then sticks.

If I feel like they're magical bones I'm saying everything on it It's the entire thing is alive right now Okay then okay if seeing that if I'm seeing it's all sort of alive I'll take 10 rocks and branches and whatever And I will animate anything that you consider tiny And they're all going to fly At her and swim

At her? Yes and her Okay And they are going to attack her melee attack Okay perfect do it do it do it Do it Oh, wow. So hold on, just to that I know. So you got a roll.

A couple of natural ones. I have you a poof all right. What's 8 plus 7? 15. So I got a 14 to 15. I got a 17? Yes.

Okay, so I need to roll a 10. I guess we'll say. There's a 19. Nice. Mrs. 19? Oh, dear Lord.

Yep. Yikes. Okay. So that means I got to roll these. So I need to roll a 12 or higher. So hold on. So these three hit.

And that one hits. So I have four hits. I don't know if you need it. It's a goody. The four hits, I need to roll the first one for mirror image. You roll. Yeah, you just roll it.

So if there's a hit, you roll it. And then depending on it, what it is, either hits her or one of the mirror images. I don't remember which one of these dice I rolled. And one was the three and was a 19. I'm going to do it again. Sorry. I have both my D20. Okay. So the first step that's going to miss and hit a duplicate. So one of the duplicates is gone.

Okay. Now it's two duplicates. That's a complete. It's huge. That hits a duplicate. So it's two duplicates. I love to do, too, to, too. And that one hits her. The third one hits her.

Right. Five bludgeoning damage. Magical bludgeoning, right? Yeah. So what is it? Oh, no, it is. It is. It's five magical.

Yeah, it's five magical bludgeoning. That's right. It's in the same thing as a shape. Okay. Okay. And then, sorry, the last one. The last one also hits her. Nice.

Seven points of magical bladjury. You're using the swarm to, like, basically, pop from your image is so huge. Because it's better than getting a crit and then, like, getting a mirror image. So does she have any images? One lot. One lot. So we'll just say that, so I think up to four can share a space because they're tiny.

So we'll say that, like, they're sort of spread out around for evenly. And how long did they last? Probably a minute. 10 minutes? No, one minute. One minute. Yep. All right.

Seeing this. They have very low hit points as well. She is. She is. Right. She's got archa. She would do this, even though it will do absolutely nothing. She looks out at all of you.

She uses her legendary action, and she begins to cackle madly. And if you didn't have furious beast, you'd have to roll to be frightened, but you all cannot be frightened. So it does nothing, but she's used mad cackle. Yes. Let's go. Hell yeah. She now realizes that you have that on you. Oh, clever, aren't they?

Trixy little ones. Oh, don't worry, Mama has away. We are not afraid in the light of Garrick's. He shouts over the... And it is then the creeping hut's turn. The creeping hut is where it wants to be, so that won't do anything. The giant skull is going to levitate into the air

and place itself right in front of Babelang Saga. And then it is Victoria's turn. Okay, so she is still in the hut. She's in the doorway. She's in the doorway of the hut. I'm in the doorway. I'm in the doorway. I am.

going. Is the skull blocking hurdle? It's a large skull. It's there, but it's not... Not preventing cover. The only person that it would prevent would be Kana, who's directly, it's basically hovering right over her head. Got it.

I am going to reach my hand out, and in a 20-foot area right here, you'll start to see the Earth bubble and royal and hands and skeleton hands will be. be coming out of the earth and I'm going to cast erupting earth. So big explosions of dirt. So the skull, Babelaisaga, and the hut. And the hut all have to make deck saving throws. You see?

Um, 18. Well, only the hut. Only the hut. Because Babelai Saga is inside of the hut. And the skull's floating. And the skull's floating. So they're not actually on the ground. It's a cube.

Oh, so it goes up in the air. Oh, it's a rough. It's a 20. It's a rush. of earth. The hat fails. Can you meta magic that? Oh God, I had any of that. What does Meta Magic do? Bobba Lysaka passes.

That's like the sorcerer's main... The skull fails. So the skull and the hot have failed Boba Lysaga passes. Okay. Metamagic is the splitting or... It's just... You can make them stronger. You can make them go distance. You can twin spell. Damage. You can like re-roll shit.

It's literally, it's so awesome. I can't wait for it. Cool. God, came up. 13. Okay. Maybe we turned. Yeah, let's turn. We turn a little longer.

That's so bad. 22, bludgeoning. It's bludgeoning. It's bludgeoning. Yeah. 22. Does anyone have extra D4? No, I lost one here.

It's somewhere in this house. You can choose from any of these, but I'll keep one. Two. All right. You see as grasping from beneath the muck and the mire of the swamp, these grasping hands make their way up as they're tearing and wailing away at the legs of this hut, able to reach up and even attack Bobbola's happen. And that is also that 20-foot area kind of between them is difficult terrain, no?

Okay. Baba Lysaga, it's her turn. She jumps into her skull, and she flies straight past Kana and directly towards you. So you can put her in her hut or in her skull. And she's going to fly in the middle. Oh, no. I should have met a magically right there. I remember that it was a thing.

Now you know. It's okay. She is going to look to Clayton, and she is going to let loose her hand bolt. She. Yeah, that hits, and that also hits. What are they? I will use shall catch field. So that adds five?

So my AC's 23. So one hits. Oh, it's 23? 23 is my AC. Oh, then no, they all hit. Double shield. No, 22. Yeah.

It's getting worse. Stop talking. 19 for the first bolt. Holy shit. 15 for the second bolt. 21 for the third bolt. Okay. I'm out.

Oh, bloody fuck. That's your time. Come. I'm going to run. Oh, wait. So if you moved. Can I use, can I take my opportunity test? what do you mean from my

floating she has flyby I ask real quick what kind of light is it out here considered it's it's normal light normal okay

I couldn't yeah you're not shadow anyway you're not I didn't know if it was dim no it's just normal light it's the morning I guess right I just wasn't sure

with like cloud coverage and shit how high in the air is this school she's within melee range of you're standing right at her she's like in your faces she's not afraid of you She's off the ground. Okay.

I will... She's just flying. I will... I will... Oh, look at you running to save your friends. They always do what they always do. Throw our biggest and baddest things at Babelai Saga. It won't work.

It never has. What is the... Like, other than being, like, her transportation vestige, like, the skull hasn't made any... sort of attacks. You know exactly what's happened so far. It's what I will say. This is an entity far beyond your, like, realm of understanding.

There's nothing that you would be able to understand more from the things that you actually see that are happening. I'm going to try and hit the skull. Okay. For my first attack. 14. 14. I actually think it does hit the skull. Yes, 14 hits the skull.

Interesting. 14 points of magical slashing. I just want to see what kind of effect that has. You slash in the underside of the skull, and you see where your blade pierces in to the bone and breaks off a chunk. You see the thing wobble and she looks down at you. I'll get you. I will make another.

attack against it. 15 hits. And that'll be another nine points of magical slashing. And then I'll make my third attack against it. That'll hit with a dirty 20.

And that'll be another 11 points of magical flashing. You slice into it two more times. You watch as it rocks back and forth and she holds on. She looks at you and her eyes narrow. you have come to play games.

And that'll be my turn. It is the lair actions turn. She is going to. You see as she reaches towards the ground on either side of you, and she begins to pull her arms up. Hmm, you want to get close to mommy. Let's stay close to mommy. And she is going to pull bone fences.

is up out of the muck. I only have the two, but for all intents and purposes, you are now trapped within a circle of bones. From how... The other ones just didn't print, and I... So kind of like all of us, it hits all of us? It includes the hut. So it's essentially there are now bone fences

completely encircling you. Okay. All along the bone fences, huh? Above us two? No, just coming out of the muck. And there are, their hands attach to them forearms and the hands grasp towards you. Their skulls

their eyes completely vacant their jaws flapping up and down as they laugh as if they can, as if they're watching this depravity. Holy shit. And that is their action. That's their action.

I'm going to make three attacks with my click-a-clucky mathstones. Those are both going to miss. I'm attacking her to be, and that's going to be a 26 to hit on the last one. That hits. That is not good. 11 points of damage, I believe.

Let me double check. Yeah, 11 points of damage with one shot. And then I'm going to adjust. All right. You let loose one of your bolts and it pierces into her. And she looks at you and smiles. I love the way that feels. I take five points of damage to the end of my turn.

and it is she is going to use a legendary action and she is going to turn and look at Connor and she is I need you to make a Constitution saving throw please no I'm sorry wisdom saving throws you'll be advantage okay all right no that's fine uh wisdom yes uh probably fail 17 that fails she looks at you she looks at you she looks deep within you and you you feel her connect with you. Run away, little girl. I'm going to use Indominable to re-roll that if it is a fail. You can do that.

Where are you? You must use the new roll. Is this one at advantage? You can re-roll a saving throw that you fail. You must use the new role. Do I just roll one, or do I roll at advantage? Or are you advantaged normally? You re-roll the whole thing.

Yeah. It's like a do-over. That's great. That's why it's one for long, then. Yeah. It's not even her reaction. 28.

You fail. No, I'm just kidding. Oh my God. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. Yes. She looks down at you and she says this to you and you feel her overtaking you. And you think of Arbel.

You think of Barovia. You think of Argonvost and you steal yourself against this. As you grit your teeth and you stare directly into her eyes. You will not be turned away. And that is what. Hell yeah. Let's go. yeah.

I'm just going to have two. Because I'm now higher level. I can use twice for a lot. Oh, yeah. Cut for once. Um, tracks.

That's amazing. I am going to go a bap, ba, and I am going to I'm going to just place my hand on Clayton and at a fourth level cast kill wounds.

Okay. So you are going to enjoy it's four times eight. 32 plus five. Let's go. 37 points of your. I'll thank you. I'll take a thank you being able

Please roll a D8 for me Me? Yep Oh no I don't care for whatever that is Seven Add an additional 7 to that

As you see a burst of silver light Break through the clouds As you feel an addition To your healing 37 plus 7 The blessing from Argonvost Extending even Yeah baby

Let's go Fuck yeah Steal your shelf I feel like It's for just a second, as you see it shoot down, as you feel it invigorate you. The mingling of Garrick's and Argonvost, as you feel your wounds begin to close and you look up as once again the cloud cover begins to reform. Oh, tricky. You bring friends from above.

Their help won't. Their help won't help you here much. Friends in high places. And I'm going to call out her power came from the skull that, the skull that Clayton disturbed. Shut your mouth, blithe. Aim for the skull, shepherd. I'll kill you first.

And she is going to use a, no, she's not. Shall I? No, actually, she won't. She's going to use a legendary action. and she is going to point her finger towards you. I need you to make a wisdom saving day. What a thompton! You're a spires, man.

19, that helps. It's 19. It's 20. Yeah, it's 29. She points your finger at you, and you see the magic swirl and move from it. You feel it overcome you. You are familiar with this, so you've never succumbed to it yourself.

Polymorph as you're able to shrug it off. Fuck. row raggy. I'm tiring of this game. Clayton. Does the skull seem like an object that is enchanted with something? Oh, yeah. It seems very magical. But it seems like an enchanted object.

What do you mean? He's trying to ask if he can disenchant it. Do I feel like to spill magic would work on it? What an intelligence stretch? certainly try. Arcana maybe, or is this intent? Is it? Hmm?

Just in or Arcana. Oh, Arcana, sorry. I'm doing. Rich, give me, give me my, I could die back. I thought you were to make something important. Yeah, no, you feel like it's, you feel like it's an animated skull. So, yeah. I will have all my little buddies come.

They're going to... They're going to... So they can get here. I'm going to have them dash, oops, and just spread around here. And then I'm going to say, I'm going to give this a shot. I'll go to them. And I'm going to cast to spell magic on V-Skull.

And that's abjuration magic, is that? Yeah, of course it would be. Yes. Okay. What level? Whatever the baseline is. Probably third. Third.

And so how do you? does that work? Just for... For each effect, for each spell of fourth level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spell casting ability. The DC equals 10 plus

the spell. It's like count of it. Okay, so you need to roll right. Okay. It's an ability check, so I do add my luckstone to it. Oh. But I don't have proficiency. So I'm adding six to each of these rolls. Jeez.

Okay. So, are there, do you keep rolling? Huh? No. You reach out as you watch as you watch as she's bearing down on sarnax.

You reach out and you cast to spell magic on the on the skull that she is in. She seems shocked as she plummetes into the muck. You see his muck spills over her. You see as she is deep down into the skull. is you see one arm come out and land on one side. The other come out and land on one side

as she pushes herself out. Shoot her! She looks directly at you and she says, you will pay for that. And I'm going to run. Can I just say when Nikki was describing that, I thought, giant skeleton hair? Skeleton spiders.

Literally a skeleton giant goal. Was going to, like, come out of the skull and like... She turns like transformer style into one. I would have been like, where to go, Sarnax? So I am done. Yeah, you are. That was really good.

I am out of legendary action, so. Creeping Hut's turn. You're right. It is the creeping hut's turn. It wants to get to Victoria. But. She said that. Yes.

So the hut is going to whose closest, yeah, it actually would be Victoria. really close to the joke. No, I think it's actually... The hut is going to use all of its actions to perform RAM.

It is difficult terrain. Not for the hut. It can't be hindered by difficult for the hut. It can't be hindered by difficulty. The hut lives here. The hut is a part of the swamp. The hut cannot be hindered by difficult tree. It's...

Don't try to rule's lawyer the DM on her. That will hit. We'll lose every time. Oh, it wasn't attacking me? No, it's attacking Victoria. I mean, oh no, Victoria lies. I picture like Howells movie Castle

like those steam ahead. Yeah, yeah, I do like that. You take 23 bludgeoning damage. That's not too bad. And I need you to make a dexterity saving throw. That's probably bad. And I need you to make a dexterity saving. Dexie say.

Come on, come on, come on. Yeah, plenty. That's going to be a 23 for me. You are able to dodge out of the way as you, as this hut peels its legs out of the swamp and lumbers towards a Victoria slamming into her. Victoria, heads up! It slams into you, and you were not expecting this

as you are caught off guard. You slide through the muck. You fall overprone. You are stunned for the next round. And what was the damage? I need something. Remember. 23.

23. 23. Yes, you are prone and stunned for the next round. Book. In the book. Book. And it is your turn, but you are stunned and prone so you can do nothing. And then on your next turn, you'll be able to make, at the beginning of your turn,

you'll be able to make a save to try to write yourself. Okay. And then, Kana, it is your turn. It is my turn. I'm going to... We'll move here. Yeah, I guess we're there. I'm going to...

So the skull is now just like lifeless on the ground. And she's just like... She's standing in it looking at all of you. But she's not prone. She what? She's not prone. Okay. He's a bonus action to give myself fighting spirit,

so I have advantage in all of my attacks. and it also gives me 10 temporary hit points and I will make an attack against her 17 misses Is she holding anything? No Natural one and a two

No No five and a three All of them miss And so Is that three attacks? That's three attacks Yeah. When you get four, is it 20?

It's like 17 maybe. It's up there. Yeah. I already use my bonus action, and I'm not going to do my action search. So that is my turn. It is a layer action. You die. Is she a big creature or she's in it?

She's in the skull. See this? That's the medium creature. Is she within my opportunity attack range? she she doesn't have to get out of skull run. Yeah.

But I mean like where I'm standing right now she were to move but she within my opportunity attack range. Well, if you have reached, I have 10 feet reach. Yeah. Okay, so I'll stay where I am.

As long as she doesn't like cover or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. She has flyby. So she can't, well, we know the skull has her. We don't know if it's her, but we'll see.

She could have it too. I can also with Sentinel I think I still attack even would like disengage. Is that different? That's different. Okay. You look around and you do not,

not see the bone fence dissipate. Oh shit. She does turn for her layer action. I need to roll a D4. Oh, so it's gone. No, they do not dissipate. We do not see them dissipate. You do not see them dissipate. I just, I apologize.

That was a special one that if she chooses to use her layer action for it because they do nothing but a fence, they do not dissipate as a layer action normally is. Unless she chooses to remove them. I see. Mechanical. So I rolled a D4 and I got three. she's going to look

between all of you iny, meeny, minie mo catch a teetling by the toe if he hollers consume his soul and she's going to point at you and at you

and at you you cannot counter spell a lair action and she is going to can't and spell maybe or no It's a layer action. And she's going to invoke Mother Knight

and end all beneficial effects on the three of you. There's no safe? No. Wait, so he hears piece disappears. Yep. She cannot use that again. That is a one-time only thing. Does his potion of invulnerability go away?

Any beneficial spells or enhancements to you are completely consumed by Mother Knight. That's really. really bad. That's very bad. Oh, God. I told you it wasn't like me. I would like to use my three attacks using my clicky-clucky mask ones. Zizi asked a great question.

It does not affect your plus one AC bonus. That is a godly gift that was given to you by Argonvoss. That is something that is now fused in you. It's not like a potion or something. It's a permanent thing. So thank you for asking. Hurry. Hurry.

Broke chow. Battle show. Free pot, three pie. Phase two, let's go. I could have rolled a one, and it could have only affected one of these. 22 and 29 for the first attacks. Both of those hit. I will say, that's going to be a...

For the sake of just making it easy, her AC has dropped to 18 with the dispelling of her skull. Oh, I fucking roll the second two more than attack. Fuck yeah. What did you just say? Her AC is now 18. So that has a different character. From 20.

I don't roll that one. So that's going to... 7 plus 6 is 13 plus... is 25 points of damage with two attacks. And I'm going to attempt to run from the hut. I don't know if it gets an opportunity attack. You let loose into her. It does not make an opportunity

attack against you. It doesn't look like it has that ability. Cool. Okay. And that's my turn. Okay. I'm new the backer. And I take 2D4. She Yikes. Her legendary actions are refreshed because it's been

her turn. This dot is pretty serious. Can I get a decrease? That's gone. She is going to, she can oh no, she can do that. She is going to once again

turn and look at Kana and I need a wisdom saving throw from her. So I don't know if you want to roll. It's not an advantage anymore. Well, it is for her. She has a year's feast. That's right. The D.C. is still 19.

So she got a 15 plus whatever her wisdom is. Which is not a 15 plus. Yeah, yeah, she had a 23. Yeah. She is able to hold against the training demands of Baba Life Saga. Okay, and Sarnix.

I am going to... I'm going to... I am going to... Does it look like the skull is inactive or... Yes. Oh, so it's out of the... Yes. Okay.

Yes, you... The skull is... Yes, that's... fine. You can get it. She cannot, for the remainder of this day, reactivated. Okay.

We'll say she's in the middle for now because she was there, but feel free to move her however. Boba Lysol and her sister Bobble Salmonella. You don't do your double spell rule in strong, correct? Not in straw. Okay, good. I am going to once again, I'm not going to role play because my voice is shot,

I apologize, but I am going to I am going to step back one, two, three, four, five and you are going to see the lantern glow and a explosion of fire is going to erupt

and a iconic figure is going to emerge in a in the same space as Bava Lysaga as it appears as it appears there and

she must make the Dex saving throw This is against magic It is against, yes Oh, but it's not a spell It's a spell Yes, it is a spell Dex you say?

Yeah On 19 19 It succeeds So she's going to take just 10 points of raiding damage. A raiding damage on a failed

save and it is going to stay there. You see as this entity makes its way into her space and begins to singe the hair down her back and the hair on her arms, you can smell it. It's pusulent

as she takes the damage and she almost looks as if she enjoys it. she leans her head back and lulls her tongue out, grotesquely at all of them. Oh. That is grotesque. What is the cash? Did you move back there, Mike?

Barging the fake. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, I can't do that. Oh, you can run the fence. Oh, no, I just don't know the fence. So the fence extends all the way around from one end of the map to the other. So just pretend like yes. Oh, God, exactly.

You can roll balls. Thank you. That's exactly what I meant. I'm going to. She is going to. turn and look at she's going to turn to look at you for doing that sarnax you see she turns and looks at you I need a

constitution saving throw DC 19 can I use a twist yes yeah yeah of course you also have inspiration I have an inspiration on the exact same role I have an inspiration on the exact same role that's even lower um did you pull the twist out yeah I'll just take it

down. She looks at you. She once again points her finger at you. Where are you? What are you doing here? You don't know anything, do you? Oh, poor child. Poor child, you look like you're going mad.

And you feel her. Overtake your mind. You no longer know where you are or what you're doing. is your mind is overcome with madness. Oh shit. That sounds bad. Can you mark off your fifth level thing that you accidentally? Oh, yeah, I think I got it. Okay.

Yeah. Sure. Is it my turn? And she puts a cruel hex on you. But can't go of her legendary actions. Yes, it's your turn. Clayton. I want a bonus action and make a bunch of attacks.

It's a natural 20. Hit. Adaboy. Hit. Hit. Hit. Hit. Who were you hitting?

Bobla, I saw you. So for the first one, we'll have to see if hit because she still has one of her things up. And it hits, it dismisses her last mirror image. That's gone. So get rid of one of the hits. So all but one hits. Okay. So I need, sorry, I wrote this down.

I also have another D4. Yeah, I don't need a lot of D4. I just need one back. One. Actually, she's going to cast Shields' reaction. Oh. Oh, no. 23.

23. Okay. Two natural 20s. You watch, she lifts her hand and you see a sickening shield form around her of murky swamp water and an algae. That only stops one of them. Wow. Nice. And two of them are Natty's. That's her reaction.

Two of them are Natty's. And that's her reaction. Because 15 is, they're all bigger higher except the one, the 14. And 15, and they add plus 8. That's 23, right? 15 plus. Yeah. Okay. So it's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, D four. Get some. So hold on. So it's 94. Let's write this down. Ninety four plus, this isn't trivial.

Two, three. You roll like. What seven times are more? average. 28? Yeah. Sorry. My brain's mush. So, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. That's fine.

I'll just rule one. So five, nine, ten, 15, uh, twenty. Dude. Plus, is this like, 28. Yeah. 48 damage. Uh, 48 damage.

What the fuck? You have to rerow one. Oh, hold on. Sorry. One additional. 48. So, 52 damage. Just tell me, I already wrote the 48 damage.

So four more. Sorry, four more. Holy fuck. That was Gary above average. That's almost max. And that's my bonus. That's my bonus action. I always feel like weirdly proud when my dice roll well for other backball.

You see if she takes the damage from all of these sticks and rocks that you have, that you have given life, and she, every hit she takes, one of them pierces her skin, it pierces a boil that's forming in the cleft of her arm. She reaches her finger into it and rubs it across her face as she looks at you lovingly. Hacks are gross, why? I wish I was dead. Good. Well, you might get your witch.

Yeah, I might. Careful what you wish for. Which is for. But you're a stream, and it's gross. Speaking of that, we should order dinner soon. I will say Starchicum, and I will cast synaptic static on her. Okay. So she needs to make A.

B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, and saving thrill. 26. So hold on. Let's see what I got here. That's still going to pass. I'm pretty badger. Yeah. So, that'll pass.

So she will take half of it. of this. She will take half of 8D6. What type of damage is it? One, two, three, four, psychic. There we go. 18, 19, 20,

21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, so 20, she takes 14 damage, I already have that. Okay, you notice as the damage comes in, she just seems like she takes significantly less. So seven, I guess.

Okay. she's persistent dislike it damage and then I would like to use my full movement oh she's on this what is this then that's my guardian of faith oh I'm just gonna I'm gonna back up behind Kana there's fence there oh fuck I'm gonna go like you know here the creeping hut

the creeping hut is directly in front of Victoria it is going to because you are prone it is going to use its stomp attack Holy shit. It is at advantage for strong. We should have fucking... 19 to hit. Uh, yeah.

What's your ICA? I need some D-10s, if y'all don't find it. Plus the major armor? No show. I'll have to. And I need, I need four more. I got you. How many?

I need four D-10s from whoever is not available. There's four right here. There's three. There's one more. Goodbye. Goodbye. Fine. What's your decks?

Mine? You know, let's make sure your AC is correct here. Yes, that's the sound right to me. 39 points of damage. So you should be at 16 AC. How do I fix that? Click on your AC. Make sure you modified it right when we did the whole Arbinball,

the whole thing. Here you. When you have major armor. Sorry. I set this to 15. I'll make you. Could be the right thing. Ouch

What was the damage? I'm sorry 38 Oh no I'm sorry 39 It's one off from 40 Because it's 10 11 12 13 Why are you having to do math

For an AC Shouldn't be in B&DBion Just give it to you? No No I guess not So now is that with major armor Yes

Okay so 16 Okay Yeah that makes sense But even still it still hits So it's all... Mani, yeah, the major armor, gotcha. I forgot about major armor. So, yes, you take 39 points of bludgeoning and piercing damage

as the tendrils of vines begin to pierce in to your, into your body. And the, oh, I can take this off. The giant skull is done. That was, that sucks. Does it go to stay where it is? Yes. Okay. And it is now Victoria's turn.

You can make a role to attempt to, um... To attempt to come to? We twist this until it goes off. I'm only going to use one twist per person. What am I rolling to do that? You are rolling a Constitution saving throw. Oh, does it just drop after one round? No.

Got it 20. Bingo. Oh. So 27, if that's that. Yeah, no, you succeed. You pierces into you. You feel your eyes flutter open, the wounds opening around your body as you come to, you are no longer paralyzed. You can use half your movement to stand up.

Okay. Do you do? So I need you to roll a perception check. Pretty good. Pretty good. Looks like double digits from our area. 26. Boom.

As this was piercing into you, your eyes fluttered open and you could see somewhere deep within the brand holes a small, glowing green low. Like under the hut? Like the hut? In the hut. Oh, boy. And it's massive lines.

There's like... Um, okay. Um, I am going to then stand up. I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm sorry.

Just move away. Um, is that close enough for that to touch me? you would have to be on its face on it okay so I'm going to move away and shout to the professor that's something in the hut um shut your mouth girl let's feed you the worms

let's get it we get killed was the saving throw to stand up is that my action that is your action for this no you know you can do that at the beginning of return I apologize so you can do something this round so then as she says you just would have been I'm going to turn around open my mouth extremely wide and inky blackness

will spill out and go out towards her. What hell? She has to make a duck saving throat. What is that? What's fucking gone? Holy shit. I think Maya's going to take it. So, she got a natural 20. She is going to use gifts of

gift of Mother's Night and she is going to turn that spell back on you. I need you to make a dictionary saving. This is different from the other gift. the other mother's night thing? Yes. Shit. Is that a reaction?

It is not. If she rolls a natural 24 save, she reflects the spell back to the caster. Oh. And it has no effect on her. It instead targets the caster. Good luck, else. Using your slot level spell,

so your spell slot is gone. It uses your save spell DC and your attack bonus. So it's a figure it can't leave on yourself. Would I have the meta knowledge deportment that? So is it like she's casting it on me or I'm casting it on myself? It's essentially you're casting it on yourself.

So you don't have to deal with her ace or her spell save. That's not so bad. Yes. It should hopefully be easier for you to overcome. Yeah, you only pass your own scope, you see. Natural 20. Another natural 20. Turn it's three and 20.

Natural 20. I really like your chess. Chess X dice, Kelsey. So your spell slot is consumed, but you do not take any damage from it. Well, I guess you would if it does have damage. Yeah. If you're, yeah, you have to see if it does half. Yeah, so on us, I would take 2D8, but then I would gain half of that back because it was enervation.

No, but she would gain it back. But she said it's like, I am casting it on my stuff. No, no, no, she gains all the benefits. I'm deflecting the spell to use. Whatever it does, it does, but it's your spell casting ability. Right. Okay. So there's how old gains you just healed.

So you'll take something and she'll heal for half. So I would take 10 damage and you would gain for half of this. You would take half of this. You passed, right? No, I would take four if I had passed. If I failed, I'd take two because I passed. So, okay, you're taking less than this, right? No, I am taking...

So are you saying you would have rolled the full amount of the dice? You just... It says on a successful save, Target takes 2D8 and crotic. Okay, perfect. Is that good? Oh, so the dye difference is different. Yes. That must be mechanically important for the spell.

So what is... So I feel... She's the heel for five. I know you. That's very different. I've never seen a single spell. I've never seen that. Yeah, you sure are cute, aren't you? It's the only thing you've got going for you. That's nice. And it is now her turn. She is going to look at all of you.

Oh, you want to bring friends in from high places. Let me bring. my friends from the depths below. Oh, boy. And she is going to, she is going to call forth the plague. I need you to spread these out on the map. Oh, shit. They will be within the confines of the bones.

That's not a doubt. Well, so that it's just like, oh, no, uh, yeah, it's considered a spell. Oh, I mean, it's the whole area. Like, there's none that will be. So as she would do this, if I would, if it's a spell that she's using on her turn. well so it's an action so it's one of her actions it's not one of her spells so I guess it's not a spell it's not it's not it's not taking a spell slot no it's not

anyone who is on top of one I need you to roll a constitution saving case all of us con you say including the high or not huh no is this coming from Baba Lyslaga huh this is Baba Lysaga doing this yes it's her it's her anytime that she makes me make a spell of save I get to have one these sales. Okay. She's a fake? She's my slayer. Gotcha.

Okay. Come on, baby. Let's do the twist. Nectin's a doo-see. Do it like this. He's just agitated. I mean, he's going to be fine. All right.

Who failed? Mother dying. Who failed? I need to take 14 poison damage, please. But you were immune, so you don't take poison damage. No, you lost it. You lost it. So you do take poison damage.

Everybody else passed. Yeah. Everyone else will take 12 necrotic or sorry 14 necrotic damage and because you're poisoned Mike you actually have the poison effect

on you. You're considered poison and this area is difficult to rain for you. God. Except for Oh yeah. Free free. Oh no, I lost it. Oh, fuck.

Mm-hmm. Or it is for anyone who failed. So, yeah. Oh, I didn't fail. No. Okay. Okay. I need you to make a dexterity saving throws. You move into another swarm of plague. 21. I'm sorry. It's a constitution saving throw. I don't know why I said that's. 28.

Move into it. You also take the damage. Yep. So you don't take the poison, but you will take the necrone. it? You take nine points of necrotic damage, but you are not hindered. Can I scale the house? That would be your full action to do that. I'll do it.

Okay. You use your action to climb in darting this way and that around the legs of this house, the roots, as you scale up and climb into and you land in the room of the hut itself. Do I see the green light that the color that she screamed out? No. Okay, I'm in the hut. As my bonus action, I use my expeditious retreat to get there, so yeah, that's my turn. Perfect.

Layer action. So, I'm going to look for it. You watch as Kana runs directly into the hut, and Baba Lysaga looks directly towards you. you're not welcome in my home. She's going to command her hut to eject you from inside of it. It is going to immediately use rebuke outsider. I need you to make a charisma saving throw. I agree to pose.

14 fails. You feel as the house moves from side to side as you, as are you going to twist it? Can I say? My inspiration? Yeah.

I'd rather do that than twist it. Is that okay? You can use whatever you want. Oh, wolf. Nope. You feel as it moves from side to side

and as the floorboards beneath you begin to creak and grow, and you see it for a split second, that green glow deep within the heart of this hut, that seed that you had originally been here for. And it's pulsing almost like a heartbeat. As it flings you out of the hut and you land on the ground, I need you to make a dexterity saving throw for me. I totally fucking fail.

You fail, so you are going to stay. Oh, the third jam. The third jam. Yeah. Holy shit. You are going to take eight points of bludgeoning or full damage as you land into the muck and the mire and you are prone. Okay. Shepard.

I'm going to make three attacks on Baba Yaga. Unless, no. Yeah. Yes. What am I talking about? 22 is my lowest roll so far. That hits to her ACD. Okay.

All three will hit. Okay. Let a rip. Jocytes. It's going to be 10, 14, and then... Has she used a single legendary sentence? Nope. 14, 24, 6th century, 18, 30...

32 points of damage with three attacks. 32 points? With three attacks. And then I'm going to attempt to move out of this formulness. I think it's going to be like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. I will take 2D4 at the end of my turn. I think it's the fourth dot turn I've taken. That's my whole turn.

Okay, that is your turn. Time. She is going to use all three of her legendary actions, and she is going to call forth her swarm of blood beasts. I need you to place all 20 of these black goats. They need to be roughly 120 feet away from her, so all around the perimeter. It doesn't matter where they're at.

As long if they're kind of in a circle, you can group them up, you can do what you need to, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Just give me somewhere within the fence. Hmm? Within the fence? No, they should be about 120 feet away from her. Okay. As you watch as she... I mean, they're going to be way out here.

As she, yes, they're, they're, they're going to be on the perimeter of the map. Yeah. It's more than odd, yeah. It's going to just be, just be the perimeter of the map. Yeah, so you can just kind of leave in there. They'll have a movement. Can you perceive them? You watch as she raises.

both of her arms into the air. And her fingers arc towards the sky as you see lightning bolt shoot up. And she calls out, Beasts! And you see as you see as the tree line begins to part the thundering of hooves and the sound of muck being sloshed around. And you see their eyes before you see anything else. 40 glowing red eyes, 20 beasts in total, completely blanking you. is they're charging directly towards all the movie.

And that is, so that was for all three of our legendary actions. And so it is Sarnax's turn. I am, I don't, one of my, how does this affect work? I'm mad. I'm mad. I'm mad. I'm mad. I'm mad.

I'm mad. I thought you were telling me you were mad at me. We had a conversation about this fight before. Thank you for sharing your feelings, Mike. Now, please take your turn. So yes, you're incredibly confused. I need you to make a wisdom saving threat. To see if you can regain your wits.

I'm twisting this. Mike, it's okay. We're playing D&D. Relax. You're able to regain your wits. As you're bumbling about, where are you? Who are these people? What am I? I'm a lizard? Why am I a lizard? Why is my voice sound like this? Why am I holding this? No.

No. I have seen it. Garrix, the fire lord. I know my purpose. And you find your devout nature somewhere within your. yourself and you pull yourself out of madness as you realize who you are and you have you have removed the effect of madness you cannot be you cannot undertake madness again for 24 hours oh I'm gonna get right next to her and I should be able to we are perfectly spread out so that

Massey Lomore doesn't do anything no way yeah so I'm gonna crawl out of it is difficult terrain I'm gonna crawl out of it And I am going to cast Beacon of Hope again. And that is right. And then I don't have any, yeah, that's my turn. Okay, you cast Beacon. And I'll say, get to me. Get to me.

Oh, you want your friends to join you? They can't join you if you're dead. This is true. I'm joining me in death. Any business? She used all of her legendary resistances to call. Oh, books, books, books, books, books, books. Yeah, well, sorry, legendary action.

I was like, girl. Girl. Did you just done did that? Let a word claim. I'll say, oh. You got them. Sixthin stones will break your bones. You're stooped.

You're really stupid. Miss. Miss, uh, 18. That hits. Okay. What does IFL stand for? I'm not hip many times. Oh, okay.

Thank you. this. I'm not cool with it here. I'm pretty sure it's irritable football lust. I think that's exactly. Is she shielding or anything? I think that's what my cat has. International fungus love.

Yeah. Okay. So this is 8 plus 24 is 32 damage. These wooden figurines are still flying all around her last. out at her scraping at her tearing at her flesh and she she smacks she swathed them away like

they're like they're simply an obnoxious fly she does not seem to be paying too much attention to them uh how's she looking uh she's looking she's beautiful real good so she's not really bloody or anything not yet we are fucked man um um um oh my uh as my action uh as my action I guess I will use Let's do a cantrip Let's do an old cantrip So he's 100

So yeah That's like way out of rain Oh I'm gonna look at a goat No that's a waste I'm gonna To look at a goat To look at a goat

I will You don't No I'm gonna firebolt the goat See what happens Action Economy That hits Are we Your firebolts

120 120 range Wow okay Oh yeah one two three oh it has one hit point so you fire bolt at the goat and you watch as its flesh singes and it and it begins to melt

the fur begins to melt as your flames ignite on the flesh and you burn this goat alive it lets out a screaming bleed as it runs around in circles confused it seems to be simply a black goat as the fire consumes it, you can hear the pain in its voice as it slowly burns and dies. I hate goats.

You don't belong here. Well, aren't you cruel, killing the innocence. We could be friends. Overkill. Creeping hot. The creeping hut. The creeping hut. Kana is prone on the ground.

It is going to It is going to make a stomp attack on comment. Yep. And is it disadvantaged because you're having. It is going to hit. Can I get the tens again, fam? You are? Nope.

I need four D10s. You should be able to take these for the rest of that. I could have sworn I should have more D10s than this in this DMs pack, but I must have all. 30 points of bludgeoning and piercing damage. Is that one hit? Yes. That's non-magical?

No, it is non-magical. So it's 27, reduced by three? Because it might have your armory. Is it a weapon attack? It would be a natural weapon. Yeah, it's a melee weapon attack is what it's considered on here. Okay. So that's what you take.

Okay. Is it pierces into you. and you are stunned for one round so at the end of your turn you can closer to Kana No so you'll be stunned for this round and in the beginning of your next turn you will be able to make your save

okay and so that was the creeping hat Victoria okay I am going to clutch my prayer be as close to my chest and start chanting under my breath and I'm going to cast false life on myself So that will be 1D4 plus 19

And then so where exactly is the gem is it in the hut Like the underside of it or like So the hut is So the hut is entwined within animated vines and roots Okay And so you have the hut on top kind of intermingled with all of that And the pulling down to form the legs deep in What would essentially be the body, the belly right under the floor

Okay You saw the gem pulsing so Kana noticed as she was as she fell out that she when it was moving she could see it between the floorboards you imagine that you'd either have to cut through the vines and attempt to get in that way if that's even possible or break through the floor of the hut to get down to it got it but like I couldn't you could you could not reach up and just grab it it would be it would be significantly just looking at it in the way this is moving you imagine it would be very difficult to get out but it looks like it's definitely Um, okay, then I'm going to, uh, rush into up and into the hut to where I think I saw it. And then, but I want a green jam? Um, would I be able to bonus action try to grab for it? No, no, no.

It's not something you can just grab. You can move onto the legs. You have to, it is like deep within it. You have to cut your way through. So you'd have to have some kind of blade that's going to be able to cut your way through and get it. If you have something like dimension door to get in there, or you have, some ability where you could travel through the arterial plane to do it. You could do it from the vines, but you imagine that to simply just be able to reach for it,

you're going to have to break through the floor on the inside. Okay, I'm going to see where I am for right now. No, fuck it. You know what? God, I'm going to die. I'm going to get the hut. Okay. In the hut.

Come alongside me, Shepherd. Oh, legendary action. I swear I'm not crazy Yes so you do that Give me one second Because I'm going to see I'm going to see You are

You are still in the hut I do you are still in the plague I do need you to make the Call the Plague saves So I need her to make a Constitution saving through a decent I'm going We're going to just

She's proficient Ooh, let's see How does this work on Let me see Did she Remember 19 Okay So she passes against the poison effect

But she is going to take the necrotic effects from this She just dead Three points of damage Because we're all in it too I actually didn't take enough damage At that point and not realize that everybody included the term.

I finally understand how it works. Come and see. And that is Victoria's turn. It is Baba Lysaga's turn. She is going to, you guys are just screwing me up. She is going to command her hut to rebuke outsider. She's going to use her ability to command.

Yeah, she just has to do that. So I need Kelsey to make a Christmas saving through, please. You can't account for stupidity. Good for one. You're going to twist it. Make sure that I can get the last one. I'll move the two.

Just it again. She needs to save this. Seven, hold on. You're getting injected out of the heart. The Christmas saving throw. Do you know the DC? No. Yes, it's 17.

17. Oh, shit. You are, you are able to, you feel as the, moves this way and that and you've seen this happen before. You reach around and look your eyes honed on this gem. You grab onto one of the floorboards as it moves and the hut is unable

in this moment to eject you from inside of it. And so that is fuck, Bobbile's his turn. That's it? Layer action. Yeah, to make the hut do something like that, she has to use her action or a legendary action. She doesn't have any more legendary actions.

So she used her action. she had to use her action to do that. So us stupidly climbing into the hut is like nerfing the shit out of it. What's in here? Oh, I got it, yes. She is, she is going to use her bonus action to pull forth her beasts.

All remaining beasts are, you watch as she starts to move her arms around and you see as all of the beasts begin to charge moving a full 120 feet directly into her. They, as they, as they, slam into her sarnage, you're right there, but they move out of the way. You watch as her mouth completely drops off her jaw unhinges as it lands on the ground as she begins to feast on every

single one of these goats. That would happen. That would happen if my... She's healed for 119. As soon as they get 10 feet away from my large angelic dragon, they all incinerate. I'm working 19 damage that it dealt down. Because it goes away on a maximum once it has dealt 60 damage. There's no save or anything? No, that stupid

fucking guardian, the guardian of faith. It's the guardian of faith. Holy hell! Wow. You can remove the goats from the board, fam. I had culturally thought that was a terrible play. Last time I tried Guardian of Faith, I got

kidnapped by a toad in the middle of the night. I was three I literally asked sorry I was three inches tall we were going through a Thumbolina arc that I completely avoided and I feel that right now yeah

okay so yeah that's her turn Kana you lose your turn so fuck you wait wait wait don't I make a save at the end of the end of you? No you lose your paralyzed for a round I was already paralyzed

because you skipped me I didn't skip you no we were going we were going a lot you were paralyzed during the hut Victoria went Bob West Saga went this is your, this is when you're paralyzed

and on this next turn you can do something. The rounds are long because there are a lot of things in here. Oh shit. It felt like a round and a half already. Believe me, I know. I feel it. So it is the layer action. She is... Oh, there's no save. It's just a...

She's not... Got it. Yeah. It's just... No, she's not. She has to make... She makes her save at the beginning of her next round. She is paralyzed for a full round. Oh, oh. I'm sorry. I understand. So that means from the hot turn to the hot turn. She's fully paralyzed. She's fully paralyzed. On her turn, she can try to regain that.

Right, okay. So, she is going to drop the plague. Oh, thank you. Oh, no, no, that was her ability the Raven Force. The plate stays. Sorry. The pizza stay for now.

And she... I love my pizza. Come on pizza. Come to me. I'm trying, summoning, shut the hell off. You do it with your white legs. Yeah.

Damn it. Yeah. There are bugs in my boots. Oh, my God. I can't do this. went anymore. She also needs to make a dexterity saving throw with the guy. They have some bugs.

For her layer action? No. She went right. So she's in this face. Two 18s is what I will plus her amazing stuff. Wow, I can't believe that you're like 10 little damage would come into play. That's some four-demages

stupid. Oh no, that's the wrong. That's ridiculous. 10, 10, 10. I just imagine like a magical dragon head. All the goats are coming in like a spiral, and the head just breathes fire and just spins around and killing them all.

This is so stupid. I'm really mad about that. That bothers me so much. She is going to use her lair action to control the hut, and the hut is going to it is going to attempt to eject

rebuke outsider. I need you to make a charisma savings for place. Fishing in those. I thought it was wisdom No, no, you're Khan and charisma You have advantage on wisdom Oh, I'm sorry, I was being a dumbness

Would you tell me to make con? Charisma Why it's charisma, I don't know It's just a sucker Because will Oh yeah, twist it, do you see I have inspiration Yeah, we need someone in this hook

There you go Yeah I'll pass Uh 26 You once again hold yourself still as the hot rocks back and forth, trying, trying desperately to remove you from inside. That is that. Do your guys, it doesn't hurt my little animated guy.

No, it's hostile. It's hostile. Okay. Three attacks, whichever. Yep. There hasn't been any AEOE damage. Two hits. And it's 17.

She's 18, right? She's 18. No, it's 16. No, her AC is 18. It was 20. Now it's 18. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't watch that.

final of the 16. Much better. That's going to be 10, 16, 20, 32 points of damage from two attacks. Okay. And I'm going to try to move

up closer to Starnax about getting in the plague. Oh, I hope that's enough. Well, shit, I'm not getting into the plate. I wouldn't, no, I'm not getting to play, no way. Even if I know what you're doing, I'm like, I'm trying, it's all right.

Oh, boy, I'm just going to step beside. I don't know. No. I'm fucked. How do you do? That's my whole turn. Okay. She is going to use her legendary action, and she is going to...

This is hard. No, yeah, she's going to use... She's going to use... What are you guys doing this to me? She's... Yeah, no, she will do that. She will do that. you see as she begins, the muck around her begins to boil and fester, as she begins to channel her power.

You watch as her body begins to form pox and postules. As magic moves through her, as her mouth opens, you see bugs begin to spill forth out of her open maw as she can. As she casts... Oh, by the way, everyone's advantage on with saving folks again because of Beacon of Hope. Because you're up or because... Because I cast Beacon of Hope again. Again? Oh, shit. Okay. I'd like to attempt to use...

Sorry. A few a second. Magic user's nemesis. Where is it? Oh, um... I need you to... Um... Speaking of Hope sounds pretty damn good.

Bacon. Wait, so would this be... max healing. Why is it? Oh. A few seconds. I can't find it. I'm sorry.

Take a good job. As all of you begin, you watch as the bugs spill forth from her mouth and as her eyes blink, you watch as blood begins to pour out of her eye sockets. She begins to laugh. As all of you begin to blink and feel blood pouring from your eye sockets,

I need all of you to roll a Constitution saving throw for me, please. DZ 19. Is this on her turn? No, this is a layer action. She is using her ability multi-cast, and she has one more spell action. Can you twist?

Can you remove a twist for me? Ah. I got to twist it as well. You get to move one more. I got an 18. 26. This is con? Yeah.

18. I'm using my last lucky guy. Win her? Okay. I still fail. We're down. We're low-huntless. We've got to...

Blind through, man. I don't know. I'm going to be team. There's nobody standing in the plague now. But I failed. Do we know the DC or now? Yeah, 19. 19.

I am going to... I'm crone in the plague. I don't know if that means anything. It matters if you don't get out of it on your turn. I roll in 11, so I pass. So it's not a matter whether you start. aren't there, but whether you stay there. You pass.

Anybody fail? You got a 26. You got a... I pass. 18. Okay, so two fails. 18. 18.

So those that pass will take half of this. Oh, shit. Yikes. And Hans is rooting for the hag. I'm a fan of the hag. She's a pretty cool hag. She's a pretty cool hag. You'll take...

If you failed, you take 15 points in necrotic damage. If you pass, you pass, you take half. And if you failed, you are blinded for one round. Seven. And blood spirts from your eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Wow. It's a beautiful day for men, everybody. Me too.

It's a beautiful day for America, everyone. Blind, okay. For one turn. Definitely, uh, not great. I also have to take more damage from the end of my turn. So that is until Sarnax's turn next round. Right before Sarnax's turn. So we're halfway through the dot that she placed on M-Man.

It's been five rounds. Oh, I forgot there was a fucking dot. Yeah. yeah, I've been rolling every time. I've taken almost five, consistently five damage every roll. Thanks. Take that enough. I'm sorry, Shepard.

You bad, you bastard! You're scaly shit! You didn't come to me as I am going to go... I'm going to go around Baba Lysaga and I'm going to channel my magic and cast

mass cure wounds. Do you have to see? You're blinded. Nope. Nope. Let me say, let me make sure this spell doesn't say that you can see. If you need to tell explicitly say it in the spell. What is that of your choice within range? Okay.

Then you can not need to. So I am going to actually, how good is my spirit? Does it do anything? I love a root ham. I could just mass healing word. I'm going to use, I'm going to use my action to summon my spirit in front of Baba Lai Saga. He's by bonus action to cast mass human war He's a smaller dye instead of this one so he can see her to begin.

Well, he's large. I think that's why he, yeah. Well, we'll just know that he's large. That's why they incinerated before she got. They got to the, where's the heck? Can he intensifies? Like five nap for one? Ada, Mada!

I'm rolling at a, I'm a masculine ward in a fourth level. So I am doing a masculine order, so you all take... Is it 16 plus... 8, 8? Max. Next year. 8 plus 5, right? Yeah, everyone gives 8 plus 5, which is

18. Is that 1?2.4. Oh, is it 2D4? Yeah, it's 8 plus 5, which is 13. 13. And do we get the bonus of the... I need you to roll a D20 for me, please? You cannot use a twist of fate on this.

Oh, shit. Niki's getting serious. 7. The range of your spell increases by 7 feet. Oh, shit. However, yes, everyone who's affected by it does roll additional D8 and add that as you watch. It's piercing silver, piercing silver light. Oh yeah, because Beacon of Hope, so an additional eight.

Beacons of silver light pierced through the clouds and all of you feel renewed and invigorated. Baba Lysaga looks around. I've had enough of this. I've taken one of you with me. She looks around between all of you. So what is that? And she doesn't make you dexterity. Two deck theory saving throws against my lantern.

Far away. My guy. He told me to come close and then ran away from me. You didn't get close enough? Which is funny because the person that ran away he moved closer to you. It's all good.

But it's okay. She needed it. I got a deck save a throw. I needed a. A deck saving throw for my avatar Garrick's. And... A death saving throw?

So she will take eight points of fire damage. My ass. As my avatar of Garrick's will appear right next to her there. And then she needs to make another deck saving throw against my guardian. Spirit guardian? Yeah, my guardian of faith. Oh, guardian faith. I'm just getting neat.

You said Dex? Yeah. 17? I don't know. So that is going to deal, it's going to be 11 points of damage, and then it will dissipate. Okay.

Oh, actually. Fire damage. Got it. She takes the damage, and she's looking at all of you as she's huffing and breathing in. She looks like she's beginning to feel weak. Uh-oh. And it is Clayton's strength.

Weak in what sense? Like a bloody kind of weak? or like a, or you should shut up kind of week. So I won't hear you, what, 17? Except for me, Shepard's just working in the window like, seven. You look as she harnesses the second portion of her multitask, and you see as she blinks out of existence. I would like to use magic nemesis, magic user's nemesis.

Put back to you, Mr. Sheppar. And I can't even, I can't even let you down. resist that. Yeah, so her... No, you make a, you make a DC saving throw, so I'm sure you can legendary resist it if you want to. Oh, I have to make a D.C. Save for a show against you. Yes. Oh, yeah, she's legendary resisted. Okay. Yeah, all right, that's my one use for the day.

Yes. Okay. And you see as she blinks out of existence. Now, and whose turn was that? Where did she go? That was her. That was her. That was, so she... It was her reaction. After you, she did a legendary action that allows her to

cast two spells at any point during the next round of combat. She used her first one immediately. Just now she used the second one. So she has finished up the use of multi-cast. So it's Clayton's turn. Yes. Cool. Chosen. Oh, you can use choosing.

Hmm. I don't know if this is going to work, but uh... Oh, we actually, that's a fair point. Um, let me see what I have here. Features, features, features. Uh, it did

not. She legendary resisted it. Oh, so like I've burned one. Yeah. In theory. Her hut is still there. So we're still in combat. So I'm marking down a legendary resistance. So because I didn't say that, I will. I also don't think she's

gone, gone. I think she's just temporarily gone. I think she's I think it's literally the spell blank. That's my thought as well. Can I sense her at all? Do I hear her? Can I perceive where she might be? Can I smell You can roll a Smellings

Perception I guess at I would say disadvantage No I don't You just know the small I'm just gonna send all my guys Is this 30 feet? Can I get them to the hut?

Yeah so I'm gonna have all my little guys Go to the hut I need them to roll They're floating So I don't know if that matters It's a swarm It's a plague swarm So it's in the air

And then as soon as one would enter it I would stop the others Yeah, it fails probably And how much head points do they have? Is it worth rolling? Basically none. I did four hit points or something? 20.

What? As tiny creatures? Holy shit. It's pretty dope. 16 points of damage. Okay. So one of them has four and I would stop the rest. Then I would just basically kind of keep them around there.

And then as my action, I will look at the hut. And I will cast... I will say augmentum and attempt to dispel the hut. Do I have my reaction? I can't remember that. I do. I'm going to cast a counterspell. I will...

At a fifth level. I will, as a reaction, I will cast counterspell from the scroll of counterspell that I have. Oh. On the counterspell. Well, can I perceive that counter spell? cast. I mean, you're a caster. That's how we've always done it.

If you still have your reaction, it would use your reaction. This turn if you haven't used you guys. If you think that I could counter spell the counterspell, then I would like to be that. Let's roll a decks off and see which one of us is faster.

Straight decks, add whatever your... Brie-Ree-R-W-W-W-H. I shouldn't use it, but I kind of want to. Should I risk it? You know what? Brisket? Uh, no, um, whatever it was, she, well, I know, I can't see her.

She don't? This is, yeah, if you can't, do you hear her and does that even hurt? Uh, I rolled a, let's say it, I rolled a 19 instead. Uh, so I'm important to that, so I got a 22. My God, but this is like multi-layered. Okay. It's a stack. Uh, you watch as the hut begins to jerk.

And it, do I need to roll anything? Did dispel it? Oh, yes, please roll, just as if this even works. Uh, 15, 19, 20. So your thing succeeds. So I did my role, and you watch as the magic is overcoming it. But there is something about it that is capable of holding on. Just barely it makes it save, and it withstands.

There's literally something in here for if you cast a spell on it. I have to make a con saving throw if I fail or if I succeed. Uh, it roll a one on it's saving throw. He's existence. Orton's like a tennis smash. This is literally, this is literally Wimbledon of Dungeons and Dragons. This is Wimbledon. She's going to ban Divination Wizard to the rest of her tables forever.

You watch as, oh my God. As the hut begins to move from side to side, Victoria, you're holding on the best that you can. It's shaking violently, it seems to begin to right itself. And you hear exactly from where you're. she'd left and you don't see her. You thought you could overtake my hat. It is all of you.

We, it is stronger than you. And she's staring directly at you, Clayton. You can feel it though you can't see her. You turn and you look at her and for a moment you look afraid, but you knew the outcome of this even before she did.

And as she's saying to you, you look directly at her and you smile. is you turn your tension back to the hut, and you watch as one leg cracks and falls. The other cracks and falls. And you see as the hut itself, the pulsing of the gem, still eminent,

but as soft, as the hut falls unconscious in the muck around you. No! Your next call it, Nazran. Nothing personal, okay? This wasn't enough. This will be. Oh shit. Oh shit. Consider this revenge. That was the hardest hag scream I've ever had to do in my life.

That's good. Can we just take a moment for hag screams? I think I'm wearing my brown pants. Yeah, right? That's how I feel when you do your crazy shit, Mike. So when a guru screams at you. So someone out of the street is going to call the call. Seriously. They might. I'm done. Ma'am, this is a residence layer of him. This is a girl phone. It's not. We've got a domestic. No, it's the French is easy. This is a Sierra little fellow.

This is a Wendy's. This is a Wendy's. This is like a Tars on it? Yeah. Well, yeah. If your turn ends, she is going to turn to you. Oh, my God.

And pass her turn. That was like, what, two spell slots, two portents. Holy crap. I dispelled. I burned the control of counter spell that we had. Oh, my God. I used my reaction. Two portents.

Yep. She's going to... I can't do that anymore. It's a war of inches. It's a war of inches. I mean, that's basically what happened yesterday, right? Is like the more things go south for the boss, the fewer options that they have. Where they have tons of stuff, but the positioning's not right.

If I use this to move, then I can't actually use it to do the thing. And then it's just, I apologize for my voice. Okay. Oh, I can't, no, I don't, yeah, no, I can't do anything else. Multicast was three legendary actions, so I'm out of legendary actions because he used both those spells. It would be the creeping huts turn, but fuck you. So that's gone.

Victoria, you are in the hut as it is lying, unconscious on the ground around you. You can faintly see the gem pulsing and pulsing. It would take your full action to break the boards and retrieve the gem in this state. Okay, I would want to try to just fire bolt through the boards to open it up and see if I can grab the gem. You don't need to make an attack roll to do that.

It's your action to do this. As you blast through, you hear her scream out again. As you reach in and you dive your fingers into the thick roots covered in slimy, Iker from the ground, the muck and mire of the swamp. You reach your hand in and you grasp around the gem and you wrench it free. And as it comes clean, the hut immediately stop. all breath, all life animating it.

You now have the third and final of the gems. Your, Tori's killed the hot. Oh, snap. So I'm going to hold it close, and I'm going to run out of the huts. Okay. You can step the hot off of the board. Step on me, Victoria. Do it. You always wanted to.

Please don't stump me. Dump stop me. Please. You're four inch stilettos. And she has not reappeared. No, she is not. Okay. I'm going to... How much movement do I know?

30 feet. I must have a way. I'll say it takes 10 movement to jump out of the hut. So 25. I can't tell if I can get out of the bugs. Yeah, you can easily get out of the bugs. And that will prevent you from taking any additional damage. Okay.

I'm going to run, basically, run towards the... You would have to go towards the back. Oh, okay. Then I'll run out of the bugs over. That is your turn. Baba Lysaga is going to... She's going to look at you, Clayton, and I guess you wouldn't see this. She is going to cast Disintegrate.

Oh, no! I need you to make a dexterity saving throw. So this is just it. We have to twist it. Well, it depends on much HBS. Fuck it. Let it ride. Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm going to twist it. Why do I have that? Dex, you say? Yeah. You think a fishing pass? No. One more twist. One more twist.

Yeah, give it one more try. No, click. No, Clay. Oh, fuck. One more twist. Jesus Christ, stop rolling. That's already three. We used.

Yeah. Five. Just like four. Should we just end it with 16? I mean, it depends how much HPU have. Only you know. Three left. Let it ride.

All right. If you're going to roll again, do it with the little one. One more twist. One more. One more twist. This is it. I may just die. I may just disintegrate in the dust.

In which case you won't well. Let's see what happened. What did I tell you? I always roll the little guy. Thank you for all those fucking twists. Jesus. Fucking six twists. That's like watching an old lady at the slot machines, just losing.

Okay. You said 22? Yeah. Okay. Thanks for the twist, chat. Thank you. You take half damage and still fucking die. Let's still just hold on to our sikes for one moment here.

Niki's thinking. I'm reading it. Yeah, let's just let her think. Better do her thing. Take a time. I don't have a reaction to counter spell it. I don't even know what your HP's at. I'm scared to ask, to be honest with you.

I look very healthy, but I think that I think Clayton can't hit one round. If she rolls well, I can go from full to death. Full to death. Well, if it does. She points her finger towards you, and though you can't see it, you can almost feel it. As you feel the sickly ray pierce into your,

body and you feel it entering into you but for some strange reason it does nothing okay what disintegrate yeah no disintegrate literally if this damage reduces the target zero is disintegrated on a failed save it does it it does it does it does it it does not say anywhere that on half damage it does anything it's so you pierce into it and you realize you realize in that moment that you had rolled out of the way you knew what was coming before you even saw it. And your mind in this moment, you felt it happen.

You saw yourself in that instant, but you were prepared, your ability to see just a second into the future, saving your life yet again. Nice try. Did she appear? Or no, she's still miserable? No, she's still miserable.

I don't, I should have you felt that. Holy fuck. Thanks for the twist, everyone. Thank you. Thank you all so much. Um, Kana, I need you to roll to see, uh, you undo it. It's a wisdom. Say, oh, no, you are prone, but the, how, no, you just, you come to.

You can use half your movement to come up the, uh, the, uh, five feet, five feet, because I'm an athlete. Yeah. Um, so I'm going to hop up five feet and can I hop into the hut? Because it's now prone on the ground. You could. It would be 10 feet of movement. Okay. I'll hop into the hut. Um, and I'm willing to use my action to look.

around for any signs of the lullaby. Sure. You can do that. Do I just investigate? 22. You find no remnants of papers or lullabies or anything in here. Okay. I will shout that to the group. No signs of the lullaby.

And I will, bonus action. Second wind. And this is still going. Yes. Okay, so I get full healing, 24 points. And then there's still shit on the ground It's been her two.

Yes. I will remain in the hut for now. Just keep an eye out for Lysaga. That's my turn. Okay. It is a lair action and she is she you see once again while you don't see you here

as she calls out beasts and once again you see the 20 goats begin to flank around the perimeter. We don't need to put them out for the sake of it you know what they do. And she is going to call blood beasts. So she's still

invisible? Yes. I'll say for the sake of it, Clayton would have known this was greater infestability. Okay. She's hunters marked. Can I attempt to perceive where she may be? I have advantage on wisdom if I'm trying to find them. perception. Yes, but because she's greater invisibility,

you would be at a disadvantage so you roll normally. Totally. Cool. So I'm just going to make a wisdom for either perception or survival because I'm trying to like track them. Okay.

That's pretty good. Yeah, that's great. For perception, that's going to be a 23. You look around, you listen for breathing, pick out the timber of Clayton's breath, Sarnax,

Kana, Victoria. You're trying to listen Over the sound of the thudding hooves And it comes to you A warm breath on your neck She's right behind you Seriously I'm gonna wheel around on her

And in a mailing range I'm gonna fire off three shots Okay First two hit What do you see Because he still can't see Would it still be disdivantage? It's disadvantaged because you can't

So that's so but you can't double disadvantage What? No no so I She's disdemeaned You're disadvantaged because she's invisible. Yes. Right. So then I take it back.

So my first attack would still be at a minimum a 23. Okay. That hits. Second attack is a 18. That hits. Beautiful. Third attack is an 18. Barely.

Yeah. On the low. That's going to be 14. Plus 10 is 24. Plus 8 is. 32 plus 18 is 50 for all three attacks. You immediately feel that breath on your neck and the smell of her rotting teeth hits your nostrils.

You immediately spin around and let loose three blasts into the air. And as the first one hits, you see her for a second rear back as she melds back into into shadows, you hit her again in every hit you see her for a second, the pain on her face, and is the last hit lands, you see a smile, grace her face. Having wheeled around and fired off,

I'm going to stumble basically backwards through these horrible things. She is going to take an opportunity? Yep. No, she can't because she doesn't have a reaction. Did she maintain concentration? On major visibility? I'm going to move her token out of the way from it.

What was the individual? I would need to know the individual totals. It was, I can tell you, because it was 14 plus 6, 10 plus 6, and 8 plus 6. Yep. Yes. So, yeah, so 2016 and 12. So, yeah, the DC would be 10 for all of them. Yeah, she maintains concentrate.

Cool. Good call, good call. That's my hair? And you can't transfer a concentration to her things because. How many resistances have we used? One. Just one. which scares me that she's still saving them

if we're like winning. Sometimes it doesn't come up. Sometimes it doesn't really come up. That's true. That's a good point. Oh, is it my turn? Is she a legendary... No, she used her... Did she use her legendary action?

So Shepard went... No, she hasn't. They reset. So she is going to... One in ten games, do you. I can't do this because that's gone too. She... Okay. Yeah, she's going to do this because she's a spiteful bitch.

Um, she's going to turn and look towards Victoria. Oh, fuck. She was behind the hut. You took my hut for me. Now I'll take your beauty. And I want you to roll a, um, oh, no, you don't roll anything. Um, oh, no, you do. I need you to roll, uh, I need you to roll a constitution saving throw, but you immediately, um, I'm sorry, charisma saving throw.

Good. Well, I guess you're pushing on both, but yeah. But you are disadvantaged. You have disadvantaged on it. And if you fail, you have disadvantaged on all charisma checks going forward. What was the first? 17. Because our hut is dead.

Her DC is 17. So you watch. All of you watch as Victoria's face begins to sag and change. And for a moment, she is far. more horrifying than even Baba Lysava was when you were staring at her but she is able to shrug her and watches her face once again

moves into its normal position her beauty intact and all effects that would have happened had she turned to ugliness are Nikitans so great sarnet this is your turn

I am good how is everyone looking at you guys are good how is everyone looking you're going to have to tune up Shredonia no Don't do you. I have thoughts. I have thought, so we should talk, but... I'm gonna tell you go fuck yourself.

I'm bloody, but I'm not bad. I'm okay. I look beat up. I would bruise. All right. I am going to use my... I looked better than I did before. My bonus action to cast...

To cast healing word at Kana at a second level. you will enjoy so it'll be four, eight plus initial eight because I have my little guy out, that'll be 16 plus, do you get the D-10 from the fire guy? It's D-8. Oh, yeah, from the Dragon.

It's eight times three, which is 24 plus five, so 31 points. 29. Yeah. Thank you. And then at a second level, and then my ad,

is going to be I am going to No you're fine looking something up anyway Do I get a sense of where she went for Shepard?

I would say you were easily able to tell that Shepard was firing into her that the last you saw her she was behind Shepard. Okay. I am going to walk one, two, three, four, five, six, Can we hear?

And she was right right here? Roughly. Yeah. I mean, I just removed her token from the board for now, because we don't know where she is, but so I didn't like put her where she is. I am going to raise up my lantern and clutch my holy symbol of Garris. As I am going to blast,

and I'm assuming if she's right here, then my ravens of the dawn blast out in all hostile creatures around here. Her will have to make a con-saving throw. DC-18. So wait, what hostile creatures in what manner? So these are area of facts, not individual. No, no. If she's here right here. Oh, yes.

Roughly, yes. Then she'll need to be a con-saving throw. I'm just trying to Ae her down. It's like when you're... Can you target her, though? If... It's just every hostile creature. Oh, so you're picking an area.

Yes. He's picking up point. It's myself. She passes. So she's going to take half of this. What type of damage is it? It is radiant. so 13 plus

14 equals 27 so have the 27 is going to be 13 points of rating temperature and that's what she makes it does she maintain concentration oh yes

her whiz must be like plus 15 or something her con yeah yeah her con's pretty on yeah okay that's which is her she is going to I think she which one did she use last time

was two, so she is going to pull in all of her blood beasts. So that'll be 20 hit points. Well, we don't know how many it's hit points per times 20, right? However many it would be times 20, we have no idea.

If she eats them all. Which she probably will, unless some of them run through me and Sarnax. Yeah, if some could run, like any run by my animated guys and I try to take opportunity at times, but, yeah. They seem to be pretty nimble from the way that she was striving before.

They probably go around, right? Yeah. As long as they don't run right through the giant flaming dragon monster, they'll be okay. That's my point. Okay, cool. So she eats goats. This is tough. This might be, this could be what tips the scales out of our favor.

Okay. That's what she does. She's out of legendary, or she's out of, yeah, legendary actions. Because you just don't know how much she healed. It could be next to your. Do you know? Yeah. Um. Do I,

can I perceive that she's, oh, that's hard to say. You would know exactly what Sarnax knew. Okay. And that we saw. That was the last place you saw her. Okay. I'm going to send all my guys here,

this way. If I can get there, you know, five and then it's like two. I mean, they could basically get right here, all of my floating animated guys. So I'm going to send them all there. and if any survived. I would have seen where all the goats were.

Yes, that's true. She would see exactly where she went. Deweedy is where her token is. Oh. She's here. I got lucky. I threw the token over there. I thought that was right behind where you.

She is exactly behind the way she ever had. She was like open. Then she would have been like right here. So that's where she is. Okay. So I should be able to get them here. Yeah. So I'm going to send them all up there.

She's still invisible. But I guess they don't need to make. A disadvantage. A disadvantage. edge? I'm going to talk a lot, these gentlemen and everyone watching. Five.

Is it Dex? What is it? For what? For the save? For what save? For going through this plague? Oh, they went, yeah, they went through the plague. They have to make a... It's all doing snast. And they can't like really fly. It's a constitution saving throw. Do they even have Constitution?

Holy shit. Let us know. chat if they have They should have con. They should be just No. Oh, here we go. It's con is 10. So they add nothing.

Yeah, it'll be so five. That's a fail. That's the 15. That messes. That fails. That fails. Her armor class is 16 now without the... No, no, I'm talking about the con savings.

Oh, oh, no. The DC 17. That failed. They're all gonna... No, if they move into it. Let's say they all fail. because I don't know. Or if they stay in.

They'll be even poison damage. Oh, they will? Yes. But it also does necrotic damage. They're like rocks and shit. They're an adamant objects. Yeah, but it doesn't say anything. They're immune to anything.

I don't think. Oh. They're fucked. It's fine. Okay, so they're all going to go through one of his forehead points. That one probably dies. That one definitely dies. So if you want to roll damage for a whole other body.

Because it's going to do at the very least four damage. So that one's definitely dead. Um. the rocks and sticks are just like splintering as they fly through these bug storms falling apart 21 points of damage oh yeah 21 23 points of damage they all die that's it so they all die as I use my bonus action to try that but that opens me up to quite a few things I will now do do do do do do do I am going to say I'm going to cast flow because I don't have a word down for it. But I pull out a drop

of molasses and I cast slow. Hold on. I don't have to see them and I know she's there. So I'm going to choose her. So it's a way of saving time. 30. Yeah. She's probably natural one and still fucking pass. Yeah. I mean? I couldn't.

Oh. Really? I couldn't natural one and still pass. I rolled really high. I roll an advantage for anything that's magic. Because you're a hag. Okay. Yeah, I'm done. I'm done. Makes sense. Oh, wait, I couldn't even I could not have even done that

I apologize. I didn't have a third of a while. We'll just say that I cast Lose your turn. Yeah, I'll lose my turn. I pass my turn. Okay. Apologies. And I'm out of

Lairn, actually, Victoria. Okay. I am going to run around me. Whatever this is called. What's your movement? 33. I'm walking. I'm going to extend my hand

and around the area where we last or where we think she is based on goats you will see the ground kind of part and like the face of a skull will come up and open its mouth and green smoke will come out of it in a 30 foot aura from like

What does that do? Sure. No, you need to tell me. That is sickening radiance. So when a creature moves into the spills area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, that creature must succeed on a con saving throw. Or take 4D10 radiant damage. Wow. And it suffers one level of exhaustion and emits a greenish light in a five-foot radius, which makes it impossible for creatures to benefit from being invisible.

28. Oh, fucker. um so you pass so invisible yes let's try sounds really good though

what was it called it's still there sickening radiance yeah it's lingering yeah yeah so she were staying

and she might she would have to repeat the save yeah at the end of her she moves and do it again so I don't know how to mark that well we'll see that cats is happening

are you gonna roll for it I just want to say Instead of passing my turn I want to expend more resources and that because I fucked up. We'll just say I cast hideous laughter is the same with save so I burn a spell slot

to maintain game state. That was my turn. Okay. It is her turn. She is going to she is going to Sarnas. I need you to make a

I need you to make a mysterious saving chair for me please. I literally can't roll higher than a 10. Why? No idea. Oh, you mean, oh. I'm not rolled higher than that. I thought you meant mechanically you were like courage or something.

Yeah, I'm just going to, I'm just going to fucking, uh, just take it, uh, uh, 12. You feel, um, that fails. You feel as this hits you, um, directly in your chest. Oh, God. Is this. a sickening crack as the bones in your chest begin to splinter open

with the force of this. As you feel as your bones begin to crack beneath your in your chest with the force of this ray that is pouring into you a dark magic as you feel disintegrate hit into you. You take

98 points of damage, force damage. as you were hit with a spell. Did you hit zero? Nope, 17. Holy shit. So half a 90, I drop concentration. Oh my God. Oh, my God.

I can't beat that, right? No. You have to pull a 45 or something. Why didn't we twist that? 48. I didn't realize it was disintegrate. We should be twisting every saving for her she has us do. Well, this is true.

You love and you learn, right? Or you disintegrate. One of the other. Holy shit. Uh, Kanaza? Mm-hmm. And we don't know where she is. You saw where the, they're connecting between them was this dark, undulating jet of black necrotic energy as it jolted directly towards him and almost reduced him.

Is she out of the cloud? So she's not, what does she do it? Greater, greater invisibility. Greater. So she can cast spells well in this. And it lasts a minute. Did she move out of the cloud? We don't know.

Well, no. When you saw that. So she may move after. Yeah, so when you saw that, she was still within the line. That's all I was trying to. Cool. I'm going to jump out of the hut. Is that 10 feet?

Mm-hmm. Okay. So I'm here. And then 15, 20. Did I have you roll for the call the plague at the end of your last turn for being in and staying in the plague? No. Okay. So I'm going to have you do that right now.

That's a constitution saving. 28. That passes, so you only take the necrotic damage. Okay. 16 points of necrotic damage. Okay. I'm going to use my bonus action to move another 30 feet towards her. But as I do that, I'm going to use a free object interaction to hand a greater,

or sorry, potion of healing, just a regular potion of healing. Pew, pugh. Well, that's a bad. I'm just kidding. I need to go flying, I'm not much help just standing around here. And so that's,

uh, this is difficult to rain. So this was, uh, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. I need you to roll another institution saving throw. Natural one,

so it'll be an 11. Okay. So you'll take, um, both the necrotic and the, sorry. Coison damage. Are you still immune to poison? I am resistant. I am immune to poison.

Okay, so you'll take the necrotic damage. 11 points of necrotic damage. So I'm going to use my action then to get all the way next to where I think she was based off of where everyone's been shooting. So I don't actually know if she's right there, but that's where I'll end my turn. And yeah, that's my turn. Is it only hostels for her spell? What do you mean?

The radiance? Oh, that's a good point. Oh, hold on. Yeah, Zizi says, Signing Radiance effects party members. Yeah. So you would have seen that. Yeah, you would have walked in a green white cloud.

Okay. I can't remember where you drew it. So she put a mark like here and then like right here because it's 30 feet circle. She dropped the, she tried to get the baba. What does this thing do? It's going to do a banish. You have to do a concert.

saving throw, it does damage gives you exhaustion, and a bunch of other shit. But I mean, like, you would have you would have seen it, so that's up to you. I'm running into it. I should make this. 21. Do you want to save you

through? Do I take any other damage? Okay. That's insane. Cool. I'm sprinting straight headfirst to the radiance, so let's fucking do it. I've got to find this bitch. Okay.

Where action? I will. Yeah. Try again. I'm proficient, so. Oh, it's not end? It's start. Start.

She is the first time you move into it on your turn or if you start your turn there. She is going to raise her hands and do why you can't see her. You watch as once again the wind and the fog of the swamp begins to swirl around you. All range attacks are disadvantaged on this round. Okay. Does anything else drop? All range attacks are disadvantaged. But you're already disadvantaged.

anyway. It's just I, once you killed the two things, I have very little. No, that's all good. I can do there. It's all good. I'm just making sure. I'm going to attempt to perceive where she may be again. Okay. Disadvanish? Is this still going? All the other couple things that are happening on the board? Oh, but so just normal.

So the call the plague is something that she has. I do not perceive where she is. I roll natural one. So I don't know what that means. I just will shit. Let me take a look at my bag of tricks. So even though you don't know where she is, because she's invisible, all you have to do is roll at disadvantage.

It doesn't matter where she is. I'm going to fire off three blind shots. The first one was a natural 20, but instead it's a 25. Okay. But if we can break hands. The second one is going to be a 27. Who, you have to see it. And the last one is going to be a 27 as well.

So all three are going to hit. So nobody talks about my chest X dice when I roll all these. Upper teens numbers. That's fine. No, that's fine. I'm not sulky or anything. Upper teens. I mean, it matters.

I know. 11 plus 8 plus 11. Zoomie 22, 30, and 18 is going to be 48 points of damage. Oh. That's my turn. I'm going to move. It's my turn.

I am going to heal myself. She has her legendary action, so let me see if she wants to do any of that. have a portion of you. Um, yes, she is going to, she is going to use,

um, Queen of the Hags and she is going to cast, she is going to cast Blood Geyser. Um, and it is going to affect Clayton, Sarnax and Shepherd. Oh dear God. Dan Zook!

I need you to make Ludgazer. Yeah. I need you to make a, two and five. again. Damn, this dot has been seriously. I need you to make a dexterity saving, girl. You should have given Sarnax a 7. Oh, I keep me to do that. I'm going to try to twist up. Um, natural thing. Very nice. Good job. You'll take half as much. Anyone who fails half as much. Uh, I got a 17. Uh, 17 passes. Maybe a DC is 17 now. Cool.

Clayton? He does. Pass fail? Passed. Okay. So, so all of you take half? So all of you take half? 13 points We take half of 13 Yes 13 points of acid damage Cool I don't have any complications My flesh but it's okay

All right Sarnax I am going to I'm going to use my bonus act Well here I'm going to Touch myself Use my seventh level spell slot And heal

Oh shit 480 Oh I'm going to heal for 80 and so I get to add a D8, 2D8 because of my dragon and because of the other dragon. Could be worse. So 87. Would that one be the max either? No. Begen-hova's gone. Oh, it's gone.

91. 91. I remember he took a 90. When is that? He was 24. He rolled a 46 and he's 49. Oh, for the last action? Yep. Plus two.

So 91. So that's 96. 98. points of healing. Okay. I got her. And that's it. You finally let them loose. You're gonna stop very easy on the head. And I'm going to go,

I'm gonna stay where I'm at. Okay. This weekend. Okay. So that's our next turn. She is going to, she is going to look at Clayton

and she is you can feel her near you. As you hear her say, run, run or die. And she is going to cause you to take the dash action immediately and run away using your reaction. Okay. So you run your full speed away. Into this? Yes.

And so because of that, you run into the bones. Uh-huh. And die. And so with that, I need you to make a dexterity saving therapy. Is this a Gary Oldman, like, Bonegate kind of deal? Yeah, I need you to make a dexterity saving therapy. So she was behind Clayton now?

No, I just said he hurt her. He couldn't really tell her she's out. Okay. What did you get? It's a little cucks. It's cucked. Thank you for confirming. Can I twist it?

I'm going to twist it. You better make sure we can. Yeah, he twisted it. Pull one out. I'll stick with that. That is a, uh, One left. One.

Burn through so many. A 17, a 17 does pass. So you are able to escape the wall, but you will take half the damage. It's a lot of clicky, clucky, macky, macky. Oh, yeah. Nine points of damage, so you take half of that, so four points of damage, and you continue running past the wall. They try and hold you to it, but you save so you get three.

You take half the damage and you make it all the way through. Is it my turn? It is your turn. Does she feel within 120 feet of me? The situation she was near. Yeah, probably. You could guess as much. I will just put that.

I will cast the spell match on her at a fourth level. She's going to use a legendary resistance. Oh, thanks. Okay, go away. There is. There's another one. Can you? No, I can't.

I can't. I fuck. I hate your spells. No, no, I can't. Are you spell a fourth level or higher on the target? No, for... She's not going to cast a counter spell. I am going to cast counter spell at fourth level.

Dexterity to see who goes first. What, no. Oh, you're right, you can do that. Because of fuck. You're right, you're right, you're right. Because call back my way intense right now. I would be able to shut the fuck up. Okay, yeah, no, you do that.

You watch as you watch as you see Babelais Saga appear in the small space between Sarnax and Shepard Oh hell! Right here? No, between the... Yep, right now. Oh, dear Jesus. She can stand in those without infecting her. I see, okay.

She's in the little butt crack. I dispelled and then counterspelled. So you're like got to be close to tapped out. I mean, like, this is crazy. And I don't think I have any bonus actions left. Let me just check. So her reaction is gone. My action's gone.

Which sucks. It's the full amount of time. It doesn't come back to the beginning of your turn. Um, I can use, is this, is the gate still there? Yeah, the gates are still there. Okay, I'm gonna walk up, like, right to it without touching it. So just move me like to, yeah, that's close enough. Yeah.

Uh, okay, I'm done. Kill her! Oh, God, oh God, oh God. Do something, please. Is my turn? Yeah. I am going to extend my hand and curl a wobbling mass of energy at her. Warbling.

It's warbling. It's one thing I can do about that. Okay, and then with my bonus action, I'm going to use... I saw my inspiration. Three sorcerer's points to summon my hound. You will hear... Yes! Barking.

We haven't seen him yet. Deep, deep growls and barks, and it sounds like there's just hundreds of, like, hunting hounds. and then in front of you, a large Neapolitan Mastiff will appear. And I don't know how I exactly do that, but it will summon to you. I'll leave it 30 feet away, and you target her, and you can summon it 30 feet away, so you can summon it them like right here. Okay. And then it charges and fucking destroys. You roll initiative for him?

I need to have the, what, the Dyerwolf? It's the Dyerwolf stat block, yeah. and you can also add them to your extras page if that means that's good cool okay so 20 plus whatever do they have a thing so he would go first in the round because initiative is on 20 okay so we'll just put him as creeping hut okay um so six will be okay call forth a howling creature of darkness to harass your foes as a bonus action blah blah magically summoned

you can see yeah to target one creature you can see with 120 feet uses the dire wolf stats um hound is medium counts as monstrosity not a beast so she uses this little goat

token yeah that's fine appears with temp hit points half my sorcerer level at the start of its turn the hound automatically knows target looping okay so so does it

can it do anything now or does it have to so it goes on its turn okay cool So then that's that. It's slobbering and growling at you. Babelai Saga is standing there looking around at all of you. And she is going to begin to channel this spell. And she is going to call forth an acid storm.

And it is going to hit. Oh, I don't know. I don't like that. I don't care for that. is going to hit Clayton, Shepherd, and Sarnax. I need you to make... Oh, no, you're just...

Because it's down around you, it doesn't affect her. So you will immediately take this damage. You just take it? Each creature that starts of turning the area or into the area or when it is conjured takes 5D8S damage. Oh, my gosh.

It's a 7-level spell. Oh, man. Acid rain Acid rain You all immediately Take 30 points of acid damage And then you will take 2D8 acid damage at the end of each of your turns

Or until you find a way to remove the acid From your body Oh my God Oh my God It looks like 2D8 End of turn Until you figure out a way to remove the acid Does that is that the turn

Do I observe No, actually, I just think because the start of your turn, is the hound concentration and is the sick and radiance concentration? It would also affect the hound. The hound would be in it as well. So the hound immediately takes 30 points of damage. So it's gone. Okay. It should have more hit points than 30, right?

No, it has hit points equal to half my surcer level. That's temporary hit points on top of the dire wolf. Yeah, the dire will stab locks. I'm sorry, but is the hound concentration? No. Is intervating. Is, I'm sorry, sickening radiance. All right, but you haven't taken any damage, that's fine.

You're still going to have to roll for the sickening. Yes, thank you for the reminder. So, Constitution saving throw? Yeah. Ufta. 13. I don't have any more thingies left. I could twist it, but we only have one twist left.

Can we get another one? What is the... Oh, no, we're hot words... Oh, we have three. That's right, because we have... Oh, we got two from... We got two from... I would use it. We took care of it. Use it?

Yeah. It's going to... fuck you up. It doesn't really cause exhaustion. First level exhaustion is a disadvantage on ability checks. And it's only, it's not Bobbiagga, it's not a bobble-a-saga spell. Are you healthy? Yeah.

No, but use it, use it. Okay. I would use it. Especially because you're proficient, right? So the odds of you passing are pretty good. Here we go, 26. All right. It does nothing. I'm going to move here. Which means I have to make a deck

saving throw for the because the bugs bugs. The bugs are a Constitution saving throw. Constitution 27 that passes, so you'll take the necrotic. Okay. 12 points of necrotic damage. Okay. So

no, you have a boom. That did it. That's one more. This was under... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. How many resistance did we blow? One. No, two. Two. Two. I have two marked off. Can I see her? She's been visible for...

You're literally standing right next to the world. Okay. She is... Oh, but you entered into the acid storm, so you're going to take 5D8 damage. I was literally about to ask that, and then we were talking about... I was going to say if it was a one-time thing...

Is it persistent? No, it is persistent. So if you... So when it starts, so whoever she puts it over takes it, and then anyone who ends their turn, there or enters it for the first time, takes it. And how big is it? So it is a 20 foot radius, 30 feet high, and it lasts for a minute.

Yeah. So you don't take it until the end of your turn. So you have an opportunity to get out, but anyone who tries to come into it will have to take the damage. And it would have still been, if I was standing here, it would have still been 30 foot, 20 foot radius. It hit, it. Oh, that's a good point.

I'm like trying to observe it. It's 20 foot radius, which means it's 40 foot across. Yeah. Hold on. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I mean, it would literally have to be right here for getting it both me, him, and him. So this is barely, this is 20 feet and this is 20 feet.

All right. Is that fair? No, that's fair. I just can't really see the map. Yeah, no, that's fine. So you're out of them. Yeah, if I, if I wouldn't want to walk right into it if I perceived it, but totally cool. If I'm not in it, awesome.

I will take care of it. Uh, bonus action to get myself advantage on these is fast. It will. 28. If it does that 5 to 8 again? Yeah, absolutely. because then we take... Um, so let's make this a...

Turn off the turn. We just be taking... Actually, I'm going to hold on to that, so that will hit. I think we have to get out of it. Ten points of, uh, magical slashing. Okay. Oh, yeah, 100%. She takes it. 19?

Uh, 19 hits. Her AC is now 16. Okay. Uh, it's been 16 since the hut went down. Uh, another... Um... 12 points of slashing. She takes it.

24. 8 points of slashing, magical slashing. How is she looking? She's looking rough. I will blow an action switch. 24. Nits.

11 points. 16. That hits. Another eight. Six. another 11 how is she looking still rough

I will expend a superiority die to make this a trip attack she must make a constitution saving throw

DC 18 or strength saving throws DC 18 or be knocked from she is neutral does that mean I still blow it yep okay damn

Okay. You have to expend it to try it to find it. I think I still add the martial adept damage to this. You would. I add the superiority die. She just a force. Trip attack, yes.

You just don't get a knock, bro. You can expend one superior die. How much is superiority die? It's from the feed. D6. D6. So it's just a straight D6. Three-d-inch.

I don't know how much I took that whole round. That was literally seven attacks. There's a lot. She's still standing. She looks weak. Action, bonus action. You can see the blood pouring from her wounds. She's having a hard time breathing her eyes.

One of them is darting listlessly around in her skull. It can't seem to find focus. The other one is moving between all of you. She looks furious. It is now weird creepy dogs time. You run straight at the target. Why? That's what I does, right?

Oh, I can't direct him to stay out of the thing. Oh, wow, he just sprits. Does he take damage right then? He's right in that. Right? At the end of his turn, he'll take damage. Oh, then I have to take. No, I don't.

No, you're not in it. I think that's right. Actually, he's got to make an attack, right? Yes, the first time you're in it, you take the big damage. Every other time after that, actually, let me double check. If he stays in it, he will probably take the big damage. I would fix so. Because the acid stays on you.

That's why you take the additional stuff until you choose to, until you find a way to get it off of you. But it's like a storm, right? So I wouldn't be surprised. Yes, it's a raining acid. It's acid. Every turn you stand it. Oh, okay. So only, so it can't move.

Each creature that starts its turn, so it's going to take 5D8 damage. So it's in it. So you could tell it to not move. But if you, if the only direction it can move is right, is straight at the target. But it's already in it. So you might as well, wait, is it at the start of your turn? Start over your turn. Not good.

We did log that last twist. I just didn't do shut the fuck up because it's intense combat. But yeah, we have... 23 points of damage. Poor pop of money. Yeah, no, it just blows up. Oh, God, that's a fucking powerful effect.

Yeah, it's a spell specific to her. All right? I need to survive. One roll of D8s. It's the layer action. She is going to... She is going to call on her blood beast. She yells out again and you see 20 more goats surround the area around 120 feet out from her.

And that is her layer action. I begin my turn in the acid storm because I never had a chance to run away. Yeah. I just need to survive these deables. You got this, you got this. Oh. 17 points of. of damage.

I'm alive. But you also have to take the additional... At the end of my turn. You're right. At the end of your turn. You're keeping me honest. That one is the end of your turn. I make three empowered attacks against her.

All three of my attacks will have minus five to my attack roll. Okay. Our D.C. or her spell is... She's at 16. I have to roll eight. It's or better. Okay. One of them hits.

Come on. Come on, come on, come on, come on. And the other one hits. Okay. It's two heads. So this is plus 10 each? Yeah. 30 plus 20.

So that's going to be 10 plus 10 plus 4. That's 24. Hold on. Sorry, I'm shaking. So it's 24 plus 12 plus 20 is going to be 44, 54, 56 points of damage. You covered in acid. It's eating away at your armor, your leathers, at your hat. as you look down

your judgment and redemption seemed to be holding strong through the acid as you let loose three, two, was it two blasts? Two blasts into this entity and she looks like she is barely hanging on. I'm going to

attempt to move out of the storm before my end of my turn and then I'm going to roll for damage and probably fall in Congress. So if you go that way, you would know that you have to go through the things. I don't think you go out. This way can I make it, but still go through the things this way as well, right?

I'm gonna try. Can you go backwards and get out of it? No, I'll be in the storm. I'm gonna go seven and a half, 15. Okay, I need a con saving throw from you. And that's about all I can do. DC-17. Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.

I don't think you need to move that far. Yeah, one, two, three. I'm gonna be that. Two, three, three, four, one, two, three, four. Right here. All right. He's outside. So be it.

The problem is I still take 2D8 plus 2D4. six points of acid damage from the the 2D8 is from the acid damage I just rolled that for you. Okay that's six? You just need to do the D4 yeah six points. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 You're right?

I'm up. Oh my God. I am on my feet. That's all I can say. My flesh is being eaten away. Oh, actively being eaten off my body. There's probably visible bones and things. She is going to use a layer action, or a legendary action after Shepard. And she is going to... What anything. She's only that third attack had hit.

She's again going to look around. Amy, me, me, my, ma. Get your tea fling by the toe. Oh, no. If he... If he hollers, let him... drown in his own blood. Is it a spell?

Yes. Have I used my reaction? When did I counter spell? No, you didn't use my reaction. Can I carter fell on my turn? We taught, yeah, because you were saying it wasn't good because she got to go right after you. That literally just happened.

Oh, you're right. Yeah, no, my reaction. And is going to focus on there's only two, Sarnax and Victoria. And I need you both to make a, a constitution saving through for me, please. Is this a attack? It's a spell. It's part of her legendary

legendary action. Yeah? Yeah. Three. Oh, I'm an idiot. I suck in this game. What's a saving throw? So it's not an attack. What's the DC?

The DC is 17. You will take... You'll take the full 12 points of necrotic damage. You take half of the narc damage. You are blinded for one round. Once again, you watch as blood begins to spill out of Sarnax's eyes,

his ears, and his mouse. Victoria, you're able to wipe it away as the blood stops pouring and it is now Sarnax's turn. I I'll look around and she's looking rough.

She's looking very rough. I'm going to look There's any blood, blood, coming out of my eyes, out of my mouth, out of my ears, as I can barely see, but I feel her presence next to me. Do it. And I'm going to turn to her. And my eyes, although they're bleeding and I blaze with fire. My lantern is going to swirl around, and then a bead is going to appear in my hand, and I'm going to say, Hague, or I saw fences, but I am not trapped in here with you.

You are trapped in here with me. and I want to throw it here so just the two of us explode in Fireball at a 6-level You watch as you rain it down and you shield yourself against the fire and you wait and nothing happens I don't think so

and she casts a counter-spoena. Oh no! She's going to cast it at a fifth level so she has to roll 17 but it's 7 or 612 So she has to roll 16 But it's plus her what

Oh, casting lot of fire Yeah, I don't think she gets down She definitely can't go She succeeds easily It doesn't feel good to be on the other end of that No No No, no

Catasple, catasper Oh no Oh We tried We tried It is a lair action Oh hold on I'm not done

I'm going to have my spirit I'm going to just plink it I'm going to shoot I can't roll high in a time so I'm just going to stand there she is going to use her legend with my guy she's going to use a legendary action

and she is going to look at one Amy Meanie Moe catch a tea bling by the two and she is going to cast it on Shepard. And what is it? She's going, she's casting the blood bath.

Is this an attack? And I need you make a Constitution saving therapy, please? 17. Pass. Okay, you'll take half this amount of damage and you are not... I'm unconscious.

Okay, you're unconscious. Unless it's... What is it how... Oh, no, it would have to do current plus... I'm not going to die. No, it's not. Yeah, it's not, it's true. I'm not conscious.

It's not going to do a crazy amount. And I'm covering an acid. Unless I roll away. Am I still covering acid unconscious and take that at the end of my turn? Yes. Oh, what acid do I take? I'm very good. Oh, you take, are you still standing in it?

Oh, you started your turn in it. No, no, no, no, no. So I moved. No, but Sarnax did. Oh, yes. No, sorry, sorry. So I would try to move around out of, if possible. Yes, you would have to move over to where he was.

She doesn't have a reaction, so you can easily do that. to move over to basically where Shepard's at. And then you'll make, you'll do two to eight, so ten points of acid damage. It's fine. That's good. It's clean. How many twists do we have? A couple. Two.

How are she looking? Really rough. You may have cursed me, but you're going to die here. But I need some help. Lucas, please. Kill this hag, and I'm going to, at a seventh level, cast arcane hand in a gigantic, yes! A gigantic kind of purplish, bluish, archane hand with a nice, like, frilly cuff is going to emerge,

and it's going to punch her in the entire body. In the entire body. So I need to make a spell attack. And what's her AC? Do we know? A.C. 16. 15. Plus 10 is 25. That hit? Sure do.

Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Crush her. What type of damage in this? Force. Eight, eight, eight, seven, six. Eight. Sixteen. 24. Twenty-four. 32. 40. 47.

Master. Five. 47, 53. You beat me. 57. I believe it's forced. Hold on. No, it is. I'm like 100% to double check it.

I mean, I did it yesterday. Holy. I need to take a picture. It should tell you in the punching. Force damage. Yep. How do you want to do that? Yes!

Hell yeah. I want to, as I opened my case, in my case, she's going to see the glint of the ruby that I took from her inside her case as it is masked by a gigantic arcane hand. And I want it to basically just obliterate her. And I'll let you flavor it however you want based on how you think it would happen. As the hand comes out, she sees the glint of the ruby for a second. She turns towards you.

You deserve that curse. and I'm gonna kid. She extends her hand to cast powerward kill as the hand collides with her, knocking her backwards into the pool, into the raining acid. As it hits down onto her, her skull crushed in by the mere force

of the knuckles of Lucas's gigantic, magical arcane hand. And you watch as the swarms of clay begin to rise. up into the air and they all shoot forward as they begin to devour the flesh from her body as she screams out the hand pummeling her deeper and deeper into the muck. And you see just one fingerbone as it begins to descend partially eaten by insects as her body descends into the mire of the swamp. Welcome to level 15. Holy. And that is where we will end this session. Oh, we did. We did. We did. So my other mother.

is finally dead. I suppose I should feel something. At the very least, I am relieved I do not have to deal with the old hag's obsessive clinging any longer. But in all these years, the mad crone could not be killed until now. Is the fate of Barovia truly changing? Find out in Chapter 14 of Curse of Sturdania, cradle to grave.
