You're back beneath a blood moon and listening to Curse of Stradania, a legend of a venturous podcast. Last time, I got married. Before that, the Asran expedition hatched their plan to sabotage the ceremony, despite the hundreds of innocence I have hostage in my castle. When the time arrived, it truly was beautiful. But unfortunately, the marriage lasted a handful of seconds, as my newly-betrored bride stabbed me in the neck and initiated the doom of Brovia. I did get my revenge when my four horsemen annihilated every last wedding guest,

including the meddling Madame Eva. Now all that's left is the fight to our destinies. This episode is brought to you by our generous supporters on Patreon. We now also have a merch store where you can browse more than 20 amazing eventress-themed designs. You can buy a shirt or be a shirt, or be a good. become a patron yourself by following the link in the show notes. We are eternally grateful for your support. With that out of the way, let us proceed with the conclusion of chapter 20, Lament of the damned. The dead surround you. Hundreds of Barovians, including friends and

allies who've made over the past weeks, lay slain. Their flesh is withered and singed from the necromanic Armageddon that has massacred them all. The stench of death is almost overwhelming. The blood in your veins becomes your own once again, and you slowly regain full mobility. However, calm has not yet returned, as you see from the corners of the room, Sardonyu's horsemen, formerly Sergei's knights, have withered into their true forms. Where once was a naturally preserved flesh is now nothing but smoking skeletons animated by necromanic magic. The death knights atop their skeletal steeds descend from their pedestals and turn their weapons to the floor. Their sword, scythe, flail, and lance glow with a single pulse of magic, and you see four slaughtered corpses rise into the air and begin to twist and thrash about in an undead mindlessness.

There's a familiarity to these corpses. As the zombies are lifted into the air by the horsemen's power and placed on the vacated pedestals, you come to see that these, once lifeless corpses, are not unknown to you. You know these freshly animated bodies. where Sir Rivarovar once stood, now stands Rahadine, the turned-dust elf, the turned-dust elf, swinging his scimitar wildly as the screams of all the souls he is slain project from within him. Where Sir Corden once stood, now stands Isaac, his demonic arm, even more grotesque, in its fiendish flame now the color of a sickly green. Where Dame Blanchant what stood, now stands Davian Martikov, his splintered staff reformed and twisted in the shape of thorny choking roots. Where Sir Zelensky once stood, now stands Father Lucian, his robes tattered and his hollow eyes shining with terrible white light.

Blood energy along the walls rise and expands to cocoon them in the corners of the room as the four-horsmen wordlessly turned towards you and make their last charge. I need everyone to roll for initiative. Oh, my God! This is it. Don't let me down. Don't let me down, Wormwood. Very good, very good. I won't know.

This is it. This is it. I got a 10. Oh, I didn't need it. I'll ask. I know. I know. Guys, I'm scurred.

Okay. 20 to 25. 22. 22. Yeah. Thank you, Professor. Guys, we got no initiative cards. They look so fucking cool.

15 to 20. Well. All right. Well, shucks. 10 to 15. Seven. Gadsuze. What did you guys get?

10. Three. Oh, my gosh. We three. Oh, and you got a three? You don't have to say it like that. A three? It's a lot of cards up there that aren't our pictures.

I'm going to get. Yes. This is true. Shmashed as a same. Oh boy. Oh, boy. Buckle off that road one. All right.

It is in this moment that all of the horsemen ride for battle. They're holding these bodies aloft above their podiums. As you watch all of them glow with a sickly light, they seem to be in a strange, magical sphere as they begin to charge, all of the quadrants beneath you begin to begin to. glow with eerie colors, purple, green, blue, and white. And with that, wrath of the wedding guests. What is that? You will deal with anyone inside of the green quadrant. I need you to make a deck saving throw for me, please. Oh, no. Am I technically outside of all quadrants? Well, so you're in blue. You're in blue. I'm in blue. I'm in blue. I'm going to use a

because I probably fail an 11. Oh my goodness gracious. It's a great start. Oh no. Dice. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on, come on. Oh, wow, that was actually worse.

Nine. Do I twist this? I probably not. All right, deck saving throw, nine. Let's go ahead. You're just taking damage here. Yeah. As the horseman charge into battle, Ezek's monstrous fiery arm erupts

from Sir Corden's corner, chaotically blasting flame all over the entirety of the area. All undead creatures must succeed on this, and you are going to take 24 fire damage. Okay. It's a chunk. Ah! Oh, fuck!

It's starving me. Sorry. Then I need purple. Oh, that's me. I just rule. Oh, I got you. What saving throws up? I need you to make a strength saving throw point.

Strength saving throw. It is, ooh, it's not bad, it's a 20. Plus 1D4 to save throws, the hero's feast. Oh, I didn't add that. 24, 24. 24. Davian's mastery of plants holds through in death in Dame Blanchett's corner.

As you watch as roots begin to sprout up, corrupted roots all over the ground. Oh, damn it. Oh, God. They begin to pull at you, but they are unable to restrain. All right, all right. This is the fine.

Corruption. My plan. I still have my plan. I need white. That'd be me. Yours truly. I need you to, I need you to make a con saving throw for me, please. That's pretty damn good. Khan, you say, that's going to be 19, 20, 21, 22, 25.

Father Lucian still holds his power over the light even in death. In Sir Zelensky's corner, as a burst of blinding, horrible. corrupted light radiates in his quadrant. You are able to shield your eyes or to imagine had you looked up. You would have been blinded by the light. Oh, I'm getting the hell out of this quadrant. And lastly, I need blue.

That's us. Wisdom, saving throw from the both of you, please. I'm provisioned at that. And we're advantage, right? Yes. No, no, no. Plus D-14. $1.44.

Oh, it's not advantage? No. Not to my knowledge. Whoops, I wrote that. Okay, I feel okay about that? I could be wrong. Double check me, right? I feel okay with that.

Do you want to keep it? I got a 20, uh, three. The phantom power of Rahadine channels and the dead of Barovia scream through his risen course in Suravara's corner. You are able to withhold your countenance as the screams of thousands of murdered innocence bellows out within this chamber,

you imagine it would have been very bad. Did you not say, you know? I'm not going to tell you. Shepherd. With that, Shepherd, it's your turn. All right. Oh, my God.

I'm going to, uh, oh, wait. She's not here. And you can tell me colors. So you can be like, oh, white, I'm gonna attack green since it will be harder to remember their hands. Can I ask two questions? Yes. Did we see Stradanya?

She, like, missed the floor. She missed, she missed through the floor. She slipped through the floor. Yeah, went through the floor. Okay. And then Sergei, what happened to her? Sergei's here. He's got an initiative.

Okay. That concludes the question. Oh, nine hells. We really kicked the hornets nest on this one. What is this? That's 15, right? Seven and a half, seven and a half. Seven and a half.

Seven and a half. Sarnax, don't move. I'm coming to you. I'm an attempt to leave my quadrant. I think, and I will, I will slayers prey and hunters mark the death night behind Sarnax as my action and bonus action. So what I will say is all of the colors are connected. So there you would either be, you'd be in the corner of one of those colors. So you need to just choose which one.

It's still white. Still white. Okay. Cleaning. They're all dead. They're all dead. Huh. Oh,

uh, which one, did this feel like particularly worse than the others? This, this blue corner here? In what sense?

In what, meaning like, like, like, did it seem more horrific? Was I more scared about this than seeing everything else going on? I would say it was all equally horrific.

I'll see pretty bad. Um, uh, we'll say, we need to find Shedanya! Where is she? And I'm going to, uh, bonus action,

uh, jump. Misty step this way, and also, Ocannos, and I will cast Arcane Blast. That's four beams, right? At which color? At blue. My lowest is a 23.

That hits. Okay. 26 damage to blue, Ravaris. All right. You let loose magic into Sir Rivera as it slams into him, you can see bits of his decaying flesh explode and pop off of him. It is Sir Corden's turn. Sir Corden is in the green corner. He's going to use his movement speed as he lets out a yell, his flail swinging as the air as he's going to run charge towards Kana. He is going to use his

bonus action and he's going to charge up his staggering smite as he makes two melee attacks against you. 27 for the Staggerings might hit. That hits. And 29 for the second one. They both hit? And these are just regular attacks, not spells. Yes. Yes. 13 bludgeoning. Okay. 31 fire damage. 16 psychic damage and I need a Wiss saving throw from you, please. Yeah, so I was wrong. It's not 1d4. It's just an advantage on the saving throws. Oh, okay. The 1d4 comes from one of my perks. I got it to go. I am, so 18.

All right, that passes as you're able to, as you take the damage, but you are unaffected by the additional effects of his staggering spite. And this is Damien that's like corrupted here? No. So Damien, all of the corpses are held aloft over their pepstoles. They're not doing anything, but affecting the room itself. The horsemen are attacking. You're gonna do you.

Ezek is in this corner. Isaac. She's for you. And Sir Zelensky. And Sir Zelensky. Thanks Mike. It's gonna take a round or so to get used to this. Sir Zelensky in the white corner is going to charge

60 feet towards Shepherd. Oh, no. Could you imagine a fucking guy with a skeletal horse with a lance charging across that? Oh, my. I'd rather not. Hundreds of corpses. Is he right in front of him?

Oh, yeah, he makes it. No problem. You watch as he begins to glow with an undead, unearthly white light. As he strikes the ground, he is using blasphemy. I need all of you. Everyone who is within 30 feet, which should be all of you, except for Sarnax. Oh, thank God.

To make a con-saving throw points. Oh, yeah, I think of them. Right? Yeah. He can move around. Yeah, he would, he would position himself in a way to hit as many of you as possible. He might be able to get all of us. He probably get all of us.

So would he like charged through on here? Yes. Is it 60? That's 30. So four is 60. Yeah, I mean, how far did you say he moves? 60. Yeah, he can know where he wants.

Yeah. So he'll, like, I probably go there. Yes. So he's going to position himself to be able to be within 30 feet of as many views possible. And then I need you to make a constitution saving throw place. Boom, 21. Come on, baby. Oh, yeah.

Is this a spell? You said Conrad. No, it is not. 24. I am going to use Indominable again to re-roll this. Much better. Con, 26. Okay, did anybody get below 17? Clayton, you will take 20 radiant damage,

followed by 26 necrotic damage. you are not prone and under the effect of Bain. One else will take half the damage. You are not affected by Bain. As you watch as this dark corrupted divine energy ripples out from Sir Zelensky. All of you feel it sinking into your skin, into your bodies.

Clayton, you feel it more than the others as your skin begins to singe away. You feel a strangeness over your head. You are not in top form. Plains, kill them all. Except I kill and kill them. It was 21 and 26. So it was 20 radiant

and 26 necrotics. You could take half of each of those. 23. 23. If we passed. Holy moly. I will look around and raise my lantern. I'll see that.

I'll have him and singed. I'll look and I'll say, what power is this to turn even a man of God to use such blast from his power? We must bring an end to all of them. And then I'm going to turn to the,

one that I've seen Shepard trying to fire at, and I will pull out my scroll that I got from Death House. Oh, my. It's about time I use this. And I rip it in half as it completely tears. And a spiritual, a flaming dagger appears and makes, and can you put that next to Blanchette? Is that her name?

Blanchet, yes. Blanchet is purple. Blanchet. And then I am going to go. They have their names on here. It's just hard to raid. Blanchet, and I will make a spell attack against that, just real quick.

That is going to be a 21 to hit. That hits. God, I hope that hits. Okay, cool. That is going to be, oh God, what is, oh God, why am I rolling? I cannot believe you just for that. My heart hurt.

That is going to be 11 points of force damage. And then I am going to a turn, and I will just raise it. my lantern and say, you will all be purged in holy fire. And I'm, it needs to make a dexterity saving throw as I cast sacred flame on it. It's going to pass. OK.

That's my turn. All right. Kana. I am going to see Sarnax behind. I'm sorry, not Sarnax. Shepard behind me. I'm going to shout. How are you guys doing?

Is everyone OK? No. I don't know what's happening. I'm just sobbing. I'm going to use a bonus action to channel my fighting spirit. As a gust of wind swirls around me and emboldens my naginata, I'm going to make a horizontal attack. All of these are going to be at advantage.

And I will forego my last attack as an advantage to give me a fifth attack on this and grant myself 15 temporary hit points. On which of the horsemen? The green one, I'm sorry. I'm not sure their name. Gordon. We can use some color. Gordon.

Okay, so I see you. I use his reaction. Oh, no, it won't matter. Yeah, it's natural 20. But he is going to use his reaction on one of these. Okay. Sorry, I'll call that. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Okay. A natural 20. Two D-10s. You got to give it a scary. You got to give it. That was a very cool time. My heart is like. 11.

9.15, 16, blah, blah, blah, blah. 16. That's 36 points of slashing damage on my first hit. Okay. An advantage. Ooh, that should hit with a, da-da-da-da, that's 10. That's 33. Yep, that hits. So 10.

Oh, I can re-roll once. Nice. Three, 11 points of slashing. Third pack. that should hit with a 26. Yep, that hits. So it's going to be another 11. And then these are just two separate attacks, five attacks each.

This one will probably miss 17. That misses. 24. He is going to use his reaction. You watch as he takes his lance and he blocks you as he parries the attack, adding additional AC and making the attack miss. The last one I'm going to hop up on the pew. hop up on the pew in front of me.

As my blade is coming down, my knees are bent, slamming right into the staff, and then I hop back onto the pew, and I'm kind of teetering back and forth, and I get back down into a low stance. Dame Blanchet is going to charge forward. She is going straight towards Sarnax. She is going to, you watch as she swings her side in the air.

You can hear it, you can hear it whistling through the air. She spins it above her head. She uses her bonus action to cast staggering smite on it, and she's going to make both attacks into Sarnax. Oh, boy. Both of them are going to hit. Warding flare on the first one. Disadvantage to blind her. Yep, no, that's cool, thanks.

I got that natural one out of the way. Good, good. I'm so smote smitten. Well, not if you did on the first one. No, it just one hit. You're right. You're right. It's one hit.

So that is going to be. I'll do that. Oh no. Oh no. A 19 points of psychic damage and a wisdom saving throw, please, from the staggering smite. Very high, like 30. Okay. So you'll take the damage, but you are unaffected by the rest of staggering smite.

Okay. 12 points of slashing damage, and you are going to take 26 points of poison damage as the, as the scythe slashes. down into you. It's poison blade rending your flesh. Oh. And that is her turn. Sir Rivera in the blue corner is going to charge in. He is going to charge directly towards Clayton. Oh no.

Professor, get up! No, he's coming! Get out of the way! And even though he is mounted, it is still melee combat, so he will be an advantage on you. as he also uses his bonus action. You watch as his sword ignites with a blue unearthly radiance as he channels his staggering smite. He is going to make two attacks on you.

First one's going to hit. And the second one is going to miss. Casey's 26. Yeah, no, I would have missed. And so the first. The first one, the staggering smite is still going to hit. I need you to make a wisdom saving throw, please. Advantage.

Oh, advantage. And don't forget your bained. Well, we should have subtracted D4. So 18 plus six is 24. Okay, so you are able to save against the staggering smite is you feel his sword to sink into your flesh. You are able to withstand some of the magics pumping into you from it, but you are still going to take,

10 points of psychic damage as well as... Was it a half of the psychic damage? Uh, seven. Uh, no. Okay, I succeeded. As well as seven slashing and... You're having it for me? What?

You're having it for me? No. Okay. So you saved against the additional abilities on staggering smite. Got it, got it, okay. So you take the damage that I told you, but then you don't have a disadvantage on attack roll's ability to checks and have no reactions. Yikes. That would be very bad. But you also take the longsword damage, so you're also going to take rolling really hot tonight. Thank you, Dice, 30 points of necrotic

damage. We're actually just blown. Don't forget your healing, folks. As Sarovara slowly slides his blade into your body, you wiggle against the cold steel of it. And that is, yeah, Victoria. So I'm sobbing, I'm crying. Stradania, I could have saved you. I was going to free you. And as I'm crying, my tears will start to turn into like a dark light and rays and like float up above my head and I will cast Crown of Stars. Oh!

Yes! Yes! Yes. You mean not chill touch. Clippy appears behind the eyes. You see you're trying to cast cats. Would you like to cast? Chil Tats.

You mean chill to. A little squiggly, red line shows up under it. Suggestions, chill touch. Oh, God. And so I will I will spin around towards Roddin to blue. So the people you know

are suspended animated corpses that are above the pedestals the horsemen have essentially animated them and are using them to cast these. That's why it's wrath of the wedding guests. That effect is happening because of them. The horsemen are individual horsemen. Okay. And so I'll... That's Ravaray. Blue horsey. I'll face it. I'll face it. around to...

Yeah, I'm going to... I'm actually going to write on these so you can... Blue. Gotcha. So I'll swing around and... Leave this place! And I will use a bonus

action to cast moat out at... What's in a lob? Silver? Yeah. Yeah. So 1111 is 22... 25 to hit?

25 hits. And you said this was to Rivara? Rivara. Yeah. Uh, 34

radiant damage. Okay. You watch as the shadow swirl around Victoria's. These moats of shadow appear over her head. And as she lets loose a few of these moats,

you watch as, as they fly through midair, they appear to take the form of Ravens' feathers, as they sink deep within Rivara dealing a significant amount of damage. Hell yeah. All right, it is Sergei's turn. It's in this moment that you watch Sergei step away. He moves away from you, his face looking nervous.

He surveys the battle, and you see a tear run down his face as his former friends and comrades fight to kill every last one of you. He then turned to the large double doors of the cathedral, protected by the barrier of blood magic and draws the sunsword. I cannot raise my blade against my friends. I'm sorry, but I will get us out of here. Please, comrades, put these noble knights to rest.

The sunsword ignites in blazing golden radiance as Sergei charges the door and thrust the radiant blade into the bloody barrier. The magics collide with a crackling snap as he grits his teeth and focuses on channeling the divine might of the morning lord to banish the crimson energy. Holy mole.

Fuck yeah. So he's in a mini form? Yeah, he's at the door. Or D2 or something? No, he's fine. He's been removed from the fight. As Sergei rushes towards the door, he watches all of the

quadrants of the room begin to ignite again. I need... Do we just all roll? Yeah, and you all to roll. I wrote it all down. Tell me if anybody gets below a 15th. Purple is strength. Blue is wisdom, I think.

Green was decks, white was con. White was con. Oh, I am on fire today. 20, baby. Oh, God, I need to twist. I'm going to twist, too. Twist. I'm going to twist, too.

Okay, perfect. Twist. Twist. I pass. 19. 25. Ew. 22.

Oh, 901 come full me. Did anyone get below a 15? I don't think so. No. Who is in the green quadrant? I am. As once again, Ezek's monstrous fiery arm

erupts in Sir Corden's corner. A blast of flame ignites the entire quadrant. You will take half of this. You'll take half of 12, so six fire damage. Davian, you are too pure for this. I will set you to rest. Shepherd. I'm still.

Hang on there. in there, Sarnax. I'm going to move the remaining 30 feet. And as I get to Sarnax, I'm going to reach out a hand and say, come on, brother, we can do this. Yes, Shepard, we can. And remember, keep moving. And as soon as he grabs my hand, I cast

freedom of movement on him. Oh, shit. I will, Shepard. And that's my turn. And you moved into purple. Purple. I need you to make a I need to make a saving throw a debt or strength, sorry. Sure, and I'd probably take an opportunity attack from the White Knight. Oh, you would. And it will hit.

Oh, so with strength? Is it strength? Yes. Is this the same of 16? Strength, that passes. So you are, you're trudging through the thorns as they try to climb up around you and restrain you, but you are able to move through them with a swiftness. However, Sir Zelensky, as you pass by, he is going to take his lance.

You think that you've made your way past him as he is going to slide it into your back right between your shoulder blades, narrowly missing your spine, as he is going to do 14 points of piercing damage and 22 points of radiant damage. This is 36. Okay. And then Sarnax, you cannot be. be you're unaffected by difficult terrain and spells and other magical effects that will need to reduce your speed and requires you to be paralyzed or restraint. Hell yes. And you can also spend five feet of movement to automatically escape from non-magical restraints such as manacles or a creature that has grappled. And being underwater doesn't matter.

Awesome. Okay. Thank you, sir. I will, I'm not even getting off the ground. I'll, uh... Thank you for helping my. We're welcome to die here. And I'm going to, uh... Blink or Misty Stap, one, two, let's see, one and a half, two and a half, two and a half. I think you're there. I'm going to try to get away from them, I guess.

That's not really going to do much. And then I'm going to try to run, one, two, three and a half, four and a half. Or I'm going to basically go back to like this corner here, running. I think we're going to die here. Okay, please hurry up. And I will, as an action, I will, I will say monum maxima, and I will cast an arcane hand on a location here. And I will. Lucas's hand!

I will make it do a... Can I grasp it? Yeah. Are these huge creatures? They are large. Sorry, with the bases, it's hard to tell because they're... They're Warhammer bases. Right.

But they are large. I'm going to send it after this night here. I think I have the panacheos here. Ravara, yes. Yeah. 60 feet away or something crazy. And I am going to use grasping hand. So I'm going to attempt to grapple a huge or smaller creature within five feet.

And so I guess we make a contest. So you need to roll an athletics check. What's the DC? It's against mine. I'm going to use my inspiration. Yeah, that was big to be hands up and fucking guy. 22. Can I twist this?

Twist it, yes. Twist it. Thank you, chat. Thank you, chat. You got a 22? Yes. I think that you never fail. So that's fine.

I will just chill right there. All right. It is Sir Corden's turn. I completely forgot about my layer action, so I'm going to do one now. You watch as all of them raise their weapons towards the sky as they channel Will of the Four. They are all resistant to damage for the next,

until initiative round 20. Holy shit. 20? Yeah, so for the rest of the round. The next round. They're all resistant to damage. And so that is going to be that. Sir Corden is then going to, where is he at?

He is green, he's in front of Kana. He is going to look down at you, Kana, but you're going to see as his skeletal face stares at you. The rotting and decaying eyeballs that seem to be left as they're slowly melting from his face, turn towards the rest of the group. As he raises his flogting his flail towards the sky, he begins to whip it around.

You all hear the sound before you feel the heat. He is casting Hellfire Comet in a 20-foot radius sphere centered around Blanchet. So Shepard, Sarnax, and potentially Clayton, if he can do it. Yeah, that gets us. I need Joel to make a Dixirity saving throw. 29 points of fire damage.

or half if you succeed. Okay. And... I got a 21. And 31 points of necrotic or half if you... 15. 15.

This is rough. We need to start doing some fucking damage. Well, it takes me like a turn to get set up. I'm going to switch of smoke every here. Sir Zelensky is then going to charge forward if he's not in front. He is white. and he has Victoria in front of him.

He is going to cast staggering smite on his lance. That is a spell. I'm gonna, yeah. Does that a spell? As he makes two attacks against Victoria. And both of them are going to hit. So the first one is going to do a total, I will roll the staggering smite first.

I'm so squishy. 13 points of psychic damage, and then I need you to make a wisdom saving throw, please. DC 17? Oh, God. I'm getting a lot of natural ones today. Can I twist? Yes. Got to twist the Natty ones.

Yeah. That's like the third one I've gotten today. That's a not good sign. Oh, God. It's all right. We're getting them out of the way. You are, you are, you are, you are, you find yourself as he slams his lance down.

He slices through you doing a total of, oh, he hits twice. Ooh, I only roll for one attack. So he hits 14 piercing damage as he pierces into you. His blade with the white necrotic light is also going to do 23 radiant damage to you for the first hit. So 14, 13, and 12. 23.

That is for his first hit. You also feel as the damage begins to take control of you, you're now disadvantaged on your attack rolls and ability checks, and you have no reactions until the end of your next turn. And he is going to hold the next one. Yeah, attack ability. No reactions.

17 piercing damage. To you. To you, this is the second hit. You're going to allow it, huh? It wouldn't stop the damage. I can only count her once. I'm saving for something bigger. 12 radiant damage.

As once again, he pierces you with the lance. That is Sir Zalind's turn. Coughing up blood. I am going to I'm going to stay where I am and I am going to look around and I will say, Carrick's see us through in this desecration place.

And I am going to first cast out my little fella. He's not so little anymore. He's a big fella as he's grown up. And a flaming dragon appears right next to me. And Blanchet needs to make a dexterity saving throw. She will do that. Yes, sweet boy. And she is going to get 21.

That will succeed. She'll take five points of damage total, a fire damage. And then I am going to cast mass cure wounds as healing, healing light. It should hit everyone and I will roll that. I'll roll that while we continue on. Oh, and they're resistant, so they actually only take two damage.

Oh, yeah, two damage. Yeah, no, I'm so glad you reminded me that they did that. Yikes. Okay, perfect. Yes, and so Kana. I want to peer behind me at the pedestal that's currently is X arm, and I want to see if that is what's powering, if I can make sense of what, if that is powering green. I would say you could see that they are what is what is channeling it, but there is a force barrier around them that you're not able to get to them. Okay. So there would not be a way to the same on them.

25 points of healing to everyone. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Yeah, it's essentially like a force cage and in a bill spell that you're unable to get through. And will of the four, do I see something happening to him in front of me? You see that all four of the horsemen seem to be radiating a necrotic energy. Necotic energy, okay.

I'm going to see the chaos that's happening behind me. I'm going to bonus action channel my equipment blossoms of the, the spring breeze to use my expeditious retreat charge, which will allow me to dash as a bonus action, moving at incredible place. So this is concentrate. Or I don't think I concentrate on this, right? Since it's part of my vestige, or do I?

No. Okay. I don't believe so. 10 minutes. So from beneath my armor, kind of this golden radiance will begin to glow and it almost like in autumn these golden yellow petals will sort of fall and to the ground and whip around my feet. As for my action, I will barrel over the pews, taking the

Dodge action, using my bonus action to dash behind me. All attacks against me will be at disadvantage as I make my way closer towards my friends. And Sir Corden is going to attempt to make an opportunity attack. And you said is it a disadvantage? Disadage. Well, I got a natural 20 and a 17, so it is going to be able. All right. I'm going to take half damage of this because of my vestige.

12 points of bludgeoning damage. Okay. As well as 21 points of fire damage as the flail swings around and it's able to catch you as you move away. I'm hanging, hang it there, I'm coming. And I'm going to move, I'm here, 510, 15, 20, 25. Let's see. Actually, I want to stay here.

Protects Victoria! That's still within 30 feet of her, right? This is closer to that. Yeah, I'll see here. And I just entered Purple, so do I need to make a save? Yes, you need to make your save. Which one is it? Purple is...

Strength. Strength savings spell. DC15. Yeah, you crush it. You crush it. Okay. You crush it. 22? Yeah, you feel Davian's roots begin to climb up on your body,

but you're strong enough as you rip them away from you and you trudge through this to get to your friends. I am going to, as I see Kana coming over, all weighs my lantern, I'll look around, and I'll see all these corpses, and I'll see the altar of the morning lord where Sergei was able to commune with and get the information on the hairpin, and I will call out to everyone, we must get to the altar, everyone. And then that is gonna be what I say.

what you say. It is then Dame Blanchett's turn. She is going to turn towards who is near her. Sarnax is directly in front of her. She is going to turn towards Sarnax, and she is going to, she is going to charge up a staggering smite as well. And she is going to make both of her attacks against Sarnax. That will hit. Oh, warding flare, one of them. Okay. It'll still hit. Nine points of slashing damage for the first hit.

Nine points, okay? Yep, on your Sarnax. 21 points of poison damage for the first hit. Six points of slashing damage. Two poison. Okay. Eighteen points of poison damage for the second hit. So that is Dame Blanchett's turn.

She used both of her attacks on Sarnax. Okay. Sir Rivera is going to... he is going to charge towards, yeah, I guess he's just going to charge toward Victoria. She's right in his way. So he is going to charge towards Victoria. She's fucked. Why did everyone leave Victoria?

I'm fine. He's going to charge up his staggering smite as he makes two attacks. I counter spell it. Roll for it. Oh, my God. I'm still gonna make the two attacks against you. Fuck you, blue guy. One of those is going to miss,

but one is going to hit. 20. Oh, you know. Oh, yeah. You hold your hand up. You counterspell his staggering smite. He begins to imbue his sword with the necromantic magic.

But you watch as it pops and fizzles out. He still is able to pierce into Victoria as he slices through her rending some of your dress from your body. Not in a curvy way. A little hurt. Nice. And he is going to do

nine points of slashing, 13 points of necrotic damage. I'll use my reaction to Coursing River 30 feet away, leap to her side as I dash and take the necrotic damage in step for her.

Aw. Best friendship. It's very nice. I'm here. I'm here, Victoria. I will protect too, I swear. And Victoria, it is your turn. Well, that shakes up what I was going to do. You have disadvantage.

You have disadvantage on your attack roles, and you have no reactions. The quadrants still, so we'll be here. Okay. So I, and I'll look up at the guy with the white, I forget, I keep forgetting their name.

Zelensky. Zelensky, I will look up at Zelensky and kind of laughing and sigh. my eyes will turn black and I will cast eye bite. Ooh. Okay. Okay. This is a Sylvie favorite.

Yes. So this will be a wisdom saving throw on Zelensky. Mm-hmm. 19? Oh, no. That meets it. Wow. That's bullshit.

You're still holding on it. It's a concentration spell. So even though he saved against it, he saved against that, but you can still next turn continue to try and do more eye-bitey things to other people. Okay. And then I will bottom you. And I will

call up my hound of it. Yes. Let the mini. We'll let the dogs out plays in the distance. So a huge black slavering, neapolitan master. He will come to my side.

He is going to fight attack on blue. Blue, all right? Big blue fella. Oh, he's your friend. Whoa. Man, those dice are not helping out tonight. No, I need to switch to my other dice. Oh, fuck.

Okay, so that's probably, I'm assuming that's just going to miss. I lost it. Nine to hit. No, that, yeah, that misses. Yeah. Okay, yeah, hard. So he'll just bark and snap and this. He does that, and I mess.

this up, so I'll ignore that for this round. I need everyone to roll their saving throws for me, please. Nobody's in green. It looks like everybody's in purple. Oh, God, what can I do that? Literally, everybody's in purple. I fired, baby. I'm on a roll tonight. So, God. Let me know if anybody gets beneath a 15. Natural one. We'll see what happens. Am I still bathed? How long did this being last? It lasts for a minute. She gets in round. Do you? You may. You can Zoom up. Yep. It's all right.

It's purple strength. I pass. Purple strength. I fail. I fail. I pass. I passed. I'm rolling so poorly.

You failed as well, Kelsey? Yeah, do you. All right. Sarnax, you feel the tendrils of Father Lucian's corrupted roots begin to wrap themselves around you, and you are now grappled and restrained. I would be as, as, as, as, as, is the coursing fire that our manly bromance handshake did. As soon as the roots wrap around me,

they just ignite into flame. And I'm like, Shepherd, unleash the flame within your soul. We will bring an end to this now. Thank you. As this happens, Victoria, not only do you begin to hear the pounding, throbbing screams of Rahadin, just screaming into the tortured souls of thousands upon thousands.

But this image of Sarnax holding the flame, a light, terrifies you to your very core. You are now frightened for a minute. You must use reaction, which you didn't have. Oh, no, it's the end of your turn. Oh, I can't be afraid. Heroes viz. I can't be free.

Yeah, there you go. All right. Well, damn. Thank you. But you still use your reaction to drop what your whole... No, you can't because you're not frightened. So no, I guess it doesn't do anything. So I guess we'll stop rolling for Roth.

I mean, I should have thought about that. So with that, it is, yeah, that was Wrath of the wedding guest, Shepard. All right, time to light them up. I'm going to make three attacks on purple. Are they still resistant? On purple? Yeah, they are, no, until initiative round 20, so they are no longer.

We're going to make three attacks. The lowest is a 21 to hit. That those hit. He's going to use his reaction to block one of them. It would be most advantageous for you to have blocked the first. Okay. He will block the first. And this is on Blanchett?

Blanchett. Got this. Plus 12 is 24, plus 9 is 30, to three plus 16 is 49. 49 points of damage. If you need to know, like eight of it is radiant. Okay, thanks. All right, you let loose bolts of force damage

blasts from judgment and redemption, and two of them are able to sink into Blanchett's withered, withered decaying flesh, and she takes a significant amount of damage. Is the altar in the middle? Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to go that way, Sarnax.

Just in the general way. Were you? I'm gonna move towards Kana, I will attempt to move. Were you in, yeah, you were in melee range? No, I was not. I was behind Sarnax. Unless she has reach. Oh, yeah.

If Blanche's got reached. That's a big old fucking weapon. Yeah, he doesn't. Okay. It's five. So I'll just move towards Kana. Trying to make it slightly fair. So I'm kind of, as I'm firing at Blanche,

I'm backing up and I, I get back to back at Bobba de Kana. That actually makes sense because a sight, you actually kind of get in. Yeah, you got to... That's my error. All right. Clayton.

Lucas, please help me this time. And I'm going to be a bonus action, and I will send my guy up here again, and I will send Lucas's hand and try to rask him again. All right? So it's another strength contest. And now I know the step. Can I twist this?

Okay. Sure? Yeah. Oh, thank you. Morning Lord blessings upon you. What'd you get? I got a nine. I got a 17.

No, and he got a 20. So Lucas's hand will grip around Sir Rivara, right there, Rivara. And crush him doing, let's see here. 2D6 plus 5. I think that's bludgeoning down. Does it's 11 bludgeoning damage? Reval. I'm sorry, what did you say?

So he takes 11 magical bludgeoning damage. And then I will drag him. I moved 5'10, and then I can move him like one and a half. That's 15, which is 30. I can go like, I can think go. That's 30 now. So then, now with my new ability, which of the Azran's, I can do this. Pull out my case and pull out a drop of molasses.

And I will cast slow on a 44 cube this way of creatures that I choose. On the three of them, they need to make a... Come on, come on, come on, come on. It is a with saving throw, DC-19. So, Rivara. Yep. Got a 27. Oh, no.

Blanchet gets... gets a, you said whizz, right? 19, yep. 17. Okay. And then the other one is Zelensky. And he gets a 23. Okay. So it only affects.

Blanchet. Oh, she can't use reactions then? And she only gets one attack. Oh, fuck, I'm gonna step it away from that bitch. And if she tries to cast a spell, might not trigger that. And you are gonna stay there. No, I'm gonna move closer to the altar

because Sarnax apparently knows what we're doing. Sarnax, don't fuck me. Do not fuck me. Sir Corden in Green is going to charge forward and he is going to try to place himself between Shepard and Sarnax. Yeah, no problem. Oh, boy.

What's his movement? 60. 60? Yeah. Just, they can basically go to the entire. Okay. Yeah, just place that. So like here?

Yeah, that's probably. And he is going to, he is going to, once again, you watch as he channels his magics empowering his blade with staggering smite. Oh, I hate that. And he is going to make one attack against Shepard and one attack against Sarnia.

Oh, he's like bootboot. As he takes his flailing, swings it from one side. to the left. That's badass. That's a lofty stuff. And that is going to be a 30 to hit Shepherd. Oh, it just misses. And a 20 to hit Sarnet. I would like to work. Oh, no, I'm going to say my wording players. Sorry. That's fine. You said you'll allow it. Yeah, I got, I got walled. Shepard, you are going to take the staggering smite. So I need you to make a wisdom saving throw for me, please. I'd love to. 19. Nice.

I get like a 35. You are able to shrug off the additional effects of the staggering smite, but you do take, I didn't roll for the damage, but you will take 16 points of psychic damage. Noted. And then you will take 13 bludgeoning damage and 18 fire damage from his flail attack.

What about me? Sarnax, you were gonna take 14 fire damage. Oh, fuck. Six? Holy hell. Seven. bludgeoning dance. Oh, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Shepherd, how are you? Oh, my. God, got crushed. Oh, my. Zelenzky. Sir Corden. Zelensky in white is going to look down at who's, it's Kana in front of her. And Victoria.

And, yeah, Zelensky is not affected by anything. So he is also going to staggered smite, and he is going to bring his first attack down on Kana with his lance. He's actually going to do both against Kana. The lowest of those is a 20 to hit. 20 does not hit. 22. Just hits. Barely. So the first one misses, so the staggering, oh, now because snaggering smite. So he is going to do, I need you to make a wisdom saving throw for me, please. Advantage. Ooh, uh, dirty 20. You are, you We'll take the damage, 14 psychic damage, but you were unaffected by the additional effects

of staggering smite. He then pierces into you with his lance doing six piercing damage. And there we go. I get crossed so hard. 19 points of a radiant damage. Is that halved, did I pass? No, that's the attack that he hit you with.

Oh, okay. So he hit you with the lance, but staggering smite applies. additional damage to it. And so you survived the additional effects, but you still take the damage. As he's stabbing it in my chest, I'll yake it out and push it back at him.

You'll have like, nice pull arm. That's all I said. Nice way. My turn. I would like to simply, oh. Can someone give me a 40-foot line, please? Would I be able to hit, if there's a 40-foot line going this way,

but I'd be able to hit everything? This one. 40-foot heading, like, diagonal this way. towards the landing. Between white and purple? I wouldn't be able to get Rivara this way, right? No. And you wouldn't be able to get Blanchet

because she's behind you. So you get five squares. These two, or if you move, you could get, if you move around her, you could hit all three. So I can do it anywhere, I can do it wherever. So I am going to use my bonus action to Poof. as my flame, the fire prince, swirls around me and teleports me 30 feet right onto to the altar

next to Kana. Oh, God, you swim. No, no, I'm in between the two guys, next to Shepard and Kana. Oh, okay. And then both Zelensky and Kordin have to make a dexterity saving throw. And that's a one deep ten.

Zelensky got a 20. Passes, they're gonna take half. Gordon, Gordon got higher than 20. 14 points of, so they were seven points of fire damage each. As I appear there, and I'm going to raise my lantern as I place my hand on the altar, and I will say, Garrick's, this is a holy place,

despite how desecrated it is. Please, I call on you, I call on the power of your consort. Send the lifebinder through the darkness. And with that, you will hear a dragon's roar as my lantern erupts and a shadow of a dragon

flies over in a massive burst of dragon's flame. Completely annihilates everything, bursting all of the bodies as it flies through, hitting everyone except for Sir Rivara. And I'm going to roll 20 D6. Holy fuck.

Do you want to put it in here? Do you have a couple more D6s? 10, we got a bunch. 10, 11, 12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, I need 17, 18, 18, 19, 11, 18, 21 more. Thank you. Okay. You're gonna put it in here if you like. Your creepy nails got.

Oh, baby. That's a lot of nice. Okay, we'll just do that. Okay, and then I, so this is a D8. So I'm gonna just count this up real quick. 20, 22, 20, ones count as twos, 22, 24, 26. Got a lot of ones though, 26, 28, 30, 30. So 30 there, 30 there.

I always feel personally responsible when I am. 30 there. And then... It doesn't do well. It's my fault. I'm sorry. 30. And then I already did those.

35, 37, 40, 45. Jesus Christ. 50. 50. 50. Oh, they need to make Dix 30 saving clothes, though. 50.

50. Holy shit. Sorry, guys. I'm bad at math. 50. 60. 60. 64.

Nintendo 64. Nintendo 64. 70. 70. 73, 75, 77, and then 44 points. Just shy of that. Or no, 84 points, 84 points of fire damage. If they fail, half if they succeed.

Oh, I'm on average. And we all heal 84 points. Oh, no. As lame singes everything as I use my ultimate upgraded. Zelensky out of 24. It was back at. Rivara got a 20 and Cordon,

and Blanchett, sorry, Blanchett got a 20 and Corden got a 17. Oh, I can do it. So Corden takes the full, the full damage. So what was the full damage? 84. And then 42. Dude, that's big, big money.

84 plus 42? Oh, 42 for the other. No, it's 84 for if they succeed. So 42 for if they succeed, 84, and then we all heal 84 as the celestial dragon. It's the shimmering golden red. celestial dragon appears in the cathedral and flies and then disappears as I use my final level 20 vestibility because we are fucked. Who didn't that hit just the two of them?

No, it hit all three of them. Oh, it hit all three? Yeah. Connor. Completely alight now with the healing power of Garrick's and not on fire this time. She's going to turn around and seeing Shepard, I'm sorry, Sarnax ablaze with radiant glory. She's going to give him a short non. Thank you.

Thank you to you and thank you to Garrick's. I feel so much better. Oh, fuck. And I'm going to go ahead and make... I need a cigarette. Yeah, I need a cigarette after that. She is going to see... We're all together on the altar.

Shepherds right there next to her. So she's going to make four attacks on... Two attacks on green and two attacks on... Which of my face? Silver. Gordon and Zelensky. Good job. I already down.

I haven't written down. I'm having a hard time. I think that one should hit with a plus 14. So yeah, 21. That hits. Okay. So two. Which one are you?

You're hitting Selinsky first? Doing white first, yeah. He's going to use his reaction to negate one of the attacks. Okay. Nice. Those of those hits, so that'll be, yeah, 29 points of damage. and that's for the first attack. So she's going to slide her naginata

out of the body of Zelensky, and she's going to spin it around and stab it behind her into, with reach, into Corbin. One of the last, 17, and then another one is, like, 32. 17 misses, 32 hits.

Oh, baby, 18 points of slashing damage. Got a 10 on that one. Sonics, careful! And I'm gonna slide it back out after I've attacked him. I'm not thinking. I'm gonna stay where I am. You do this and you can see at this point that Corden is starting to look rough in this way.

Okay. Pink you firewood. Dame Blanchett is going to charge up the rear directly on top of Clayton. You're on her up, Professor. You watch as Dame Blanchin is going to look down at you. She's going to take the tip of her sight, point it directly at you, and cast virulent plague.

I need you to make a Constitution saving throw for me. Don't forget that you're being. I'm going to use my reaction to attempt to counter-spell. It is not a spell. I'm not going to counter-speller. It's her once a day. On me. This needs to roll.

Sorry, when I say cast, I just make she doing the ability. That's why I figured I'd ask. Is the DC? The DC is 18. 19. Ooh. You want Bain. That's amazing.

Okay. I want to say suck it, but I don't want to make the D.S. guy. Yeah, no, no. That's well played. That's that. Well played. That's for turns, so I. Sir Rivera.

Thank you goodness you took your vitamins this morning, professor. Sir Ravara is going to charge up behind Shepard. He is going to cast staggering spite on his sword. He's raffle. He can't move. Nice. Okay, so he's going to use his action, so you can use his action to get out of it? Yes, yes, to contest. Okay, I rolled my contest.

Oh. It's loose his hand. lose his hand. That doesn't look good. Oh, yeah. Okay. No, I'm still better. It's okay.

I thought it was a single vision. 20, uh, 24. Nice. Oh, no, he still grappled. Oh. Thank you. You saved me. Good.

It's good. He just saved me. So he, okay. So because of that, he is going to, oh, no, that was, that was his action, the contest that, yeah? So you can't do anything. Fuck. I hate you.

Thank you, Lucas. That was more, that was more Clayton. Thank you, Lucas. Sorry. No, okay, that's that. Victoria. All right, I will cast my inky black eyes to Corden in the center and continue eye blades, so.

Okay. So he needs to roll a wisdom-saving trot. On-C-19. Yes. Oh, come on. Wisdom, you say. Nineteen? Yes.

Yes. I love that. Met it again. Met it twice. Come, run out of people. I think Kelsey's been the most foiled person in this entire campaign

over and over again. So in that case, we will set you free and I will use a bonus action to cast a moat over in his direction. Kill him. Kill him. Do I still have to do I still have this?

advantage on attack, correct? You from, I'm trying to remember why you had this advantage on attack. I edit. Oh, because of the thing. Yes, you do. Well, what's he gonna do? It's for one minute, so six rounds. We kill him before he goes against.

At the end of your turn, you can make another same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You should give a six. So that's a 25 to hit. Yeah, no, that hits. Okay. For Corton, right? For Corton.

Well, that was gosh. Oh. So it's 18 radiant damage. And then I will look down to my side and have Bartholomew. Get a march. On to Zelensky. And he says, eat my shorts. Eat my shorts.

No, it's more like that's one time of Hollywood. Oh, yes. I thought I was going on. Oh, yeah. I love that. steal that. That doesn't sound like a... Yeah, that's a...

That's a... That's a cliff thing. That's... I've been Shepard would get the shit out of some craft mac and cheese. He'll just launch and... What is the attack? It was... Yeah, but what was the role?

Because it might hit. Nine. Oh, no, that doesn't hit now. It was very long. He's... All right, he's... It is with that that they are... You watch as they all channeled together,

and you... you feel the ground around you begin to rumble. The bodies begin to turn this way and that, almost as if they're slightly animated and rising from them. In shrouded mists of blood are nine bloodstained ghosts of BROvia. What the hell? So if you could please put these around in that. I should not be placing these.

They are going to swarm around you. So it's just like everywhere? Yeah. So try and find someone that they can be on. Oh, okay. And they are going to act on this turn. So for the purpose of these minis, there are nine ghosts.

Each one of the pedestals has three ghosts. So each one of them, so it's marked with one, two, or three. So if you're hitting ghost cluster one, you would just say I'm hitting one, ghost cluster one, number one, ghost cluster one, number two, ghost cluster number three.

And that's how those ghosts will work. This isn't good. And let's see. There are three behind Clayton. All three of those are going to make attacks on Clayton. I don't know.

There's ghosts. And funny enough, all three of them actually miss. I rolled two ones and a two. And so then the next ones are going, three of them are going to make an attack. on Shepard. Yep. Two of them hit, and one of them misses.

15 necrotic damage, and I need you to make a strength saving throw, please. Oh boy, that's a six. Your AC is lowered by one for a minute, as you undergo the effects of their withering blast, their withering touch. Okay, my AC 17. Not see, there are, oh, that was only one roll. There were two more roles.

you have happened from that. I'm also there too. Yeah, no, he's going to do it on Shepard. Okay. I'm just saying I'm there. 10, 14. 20 points of necrotic damage and another strength saving throw. Oh my God. 12? You are, your AC is lowered by another one. 16. It's the dire wolf. H.B. And then 18 points of necrotic damage and another strength saving throw. Sounds good. Another one is we get. Yeah, I failed. I was due for some bad rules. It's lowered by one more. And then...

We should twist it. We should twist it. Let's fucking... Let's fucking... A.C. point? Yeah, A.C. My AC's already lower. These is going to crush me. 12 again. Okay. Strength is not my...

Not my strong suit. Then the other goes to 15 hits, so you can raise it by one. The DC is 15. No, I got 12. 12. Oh. I fail a lot of them.

Yeah. Then you're lowered by three. By AC's at 15. A.C. And then the next group of ghosts. Two are going to hit Kana. One is going to miss. One is going to hit, and the other one's going to hit Victoria, which is going to hit.

Boo! No way. Yeah. Oh, my God. Clerics are so good, and I'm so bad. 19 points of necrotic damage, Kana, and a strength save, please. Okay. your AC is unaffected.

I can use your release on this, right? It's wisdom. It's strength, so no. No, D4. There's no D4 element. You're in future. Six. You are, your AC is lowered by one for infinite.

I need you all to roll your saving throws and let me know if you get below a 15 and what color you're in. God, damn.

We are strength. As once again, Ezek, Father Lucian, Davian Marikov, and Rahadine, who will do absolutely nothing because feast. Be able to channel there. Okay. I think. You passed. 23.

I think, yeah, I mean, I was fired at that, but I'm giving myself from 20. The DC is 15. I failed and I am in Blam chat. You are now grappled and restrained. As you feel the roots twisting up around you. Anybody else fail? No? I'm immune, so I shouldn't even roll.

Yeah, no, you don't need to. And Shepard, it is your turn. I am going to attempt to push through my allies here and get behind Victoria. So I'm going to take at least opportunity attacks from those ghosts over there. And I guess maybe these ghosts over here.

Yeah, if you're moving away from them, they are going to... Are you outside of 20 feet range from them? Their range is 20 feet. So one yes, but the other one no. Okay. So you'll take... Oh, wait, actually...

Kind of right on edge. He might... No, it was either than 20 feet. Okay, yeah, so no. No, no. No opportunity attacks, right? I mean, I can take it... Well, no, really? If I move that far...

Their range is 20 feet, so you're still not outside of their range of-up. If they have like a melee that has a 20-foot reach. No, he is. He is. That's four and a half. Okay, so three will attack, but the other three won't. I didn't understand what you're saying. Three is better than sex. Three is better than sex.

And, oh, that's a D12. Two of them are going to hit. Sure. Strength saving throws. Yes, two of them, please. Come on, come on, come on. Fail. Lower it by one.

And fail. 14, 18 points of necrotic damage, lower it by another one, and then... 16 points of necrotic damage. I'm sorry, what was the damage? 16 necrotic damage for the second hand. So it should be lowered by two more. Ooh, wait, like four total? No, no, no, no, sorry, just the two that I told you.

Okay. And then I'm going to use Hellfire. in a... Nice! Just literally light them all up. So it's going to be deck saving throws from everybody. So the... Okay. DC-17, provided that didn't change with anything.

No, it doesn't. All, I just rolled for the ghosts, for one. They all failed. But I will roll for the horseman separately. I'm very good. I'm sorry, what did you say it was? DC-17. 17, okay.

So Zelensky passes. No, it's higher. It's higher. It's 18. It's 18. It's 18. The DC should be 18. 18. 18. Yes.

Okay, Zelensky passes, Blanchet passes, Rivara fails and Corden passes. 34 points of damage to whoever did not pass. And then half. So 17 to the three nights. Damage is force. And then so 34 to the ghost because they all failed. As you let loose, you stagger backwards.

You feel yourself, you're off, you're easier to hit. You're not moving the way that you expect to hit. is you pull out judgment and redemption and you let loose a reign of hellfire. All of the ghosts sizzle and pop, and they are all destroyed. You can remove the ghosts from the battlefield.

All of them? All of them. They're minions. Sheppard is so scary. Yeah. Fuck me up. Also hitting all of the horsemen. Corden is definitely looks the most wounded,

Blanchett close behind. Is it her? So I am going to. to look around and seeing a horse to my left, a horse to my right, one right in front of me, facing me. I'll say, give away, despair goth. And everyone has to make a Wiz saving friend.

Everyone? I'm sorry, all four of them. Okay, all four of them. What's the DC? Thank you. They all passed. Shit. Wow.

Welcome to my life. I will say, oh, time for plan B. I am going to Misty Stats. Yeah, yeah, just made sure. Two and a half. One and a half three, four. I'm going to missy step here, and then I'm going to move one and a half, two, three.

Okay. So, Gordon. Sir Gordon is going to turn towards Sarnax, and he is going to use his remaining, a staggering smite, and he is going to make two attacks on you. A natural 20. I would like to blind.

binding is that, please. This image. Still gonna hit. Okay. And I don't know why I rolled double on that, but the other one hits as well. The staggering smite, you're going to take 12 points of damage, a psychic damage, and I need you to make a list of saving throw for me, please.

Well, that's where I'm a Viking. I succeed with flying colors and with above 30. You're gonna take 12 bludgeoning. Okay, take that. And then you're going to take 17. 17 points of fire damage. Okay, 17 points. That's for the first hit.

19 more points of fire damage for the second hit. And eight points of bloodshiny damage. As his flail swings down and slams into you twice. He two wheels the power of flame too well. Felinski is going to charge, who is in front of you? him. It's hard for me to see with everything. Sarnax, Kana, me, and Jeff. You can hit everybody, Sermakley.

We're surrounding Zalachian. Yeah. Oh. Okay. He's going to, he's going to look down at Kana, and he is going to make two attacks against Kana. One of those is going to hit. One is going to miss. 13 points of piercing damage.

Okay. 15 points of radiant damage. And that is going to be his turn. I am going to be. I'm going to look around and I will, I believe, just stay. I'm within 30 feet of Rivar, right? Yeah. I'm just going to stay where I am.

And I am going to raise up my lantern and say, be blindened in the radiance of the dawn in this cathedral of the morning lord. And I, they all need to make a wisdom saving throw, DC 19. 18 for Selensky. Fail. Well over that for Blanchet. A fail on Rivara and a success on Courtney. So 29, 30, 35 points of radiant damage to anyone who failed,

and 15 points of radiant damage to anyone who succeeded. Seven. You had 35 damage? Yes. So half of that, 17. Oh, 17. 17. Apologies. And then I'm going to use my bonus action to, if Gordon stole alive, I'll move over my, he can move 20 feet.

I can't move my little guy. 20 feet. He'll stab, he'll stab, uh, actually no, with that, I'm going to use my bonus action to poof up in, uh, in the, the fire prince and just poop behind, uh, hound Jones. Hound Jones. I'm going to go behind the Hound Jones, but behind Borougholome. Yeah, I'm going there. Yeah. And I'm going to just, I'm right next to him. I'm right next to fire, to fire, to fire prince. So like, yeah, okay, yeah. I proof in my bonus action. And my, my, my secret weapon, I ripped the scroll and it just sat. there. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, scroll. Okay. You gotta, you know. Okay. I'm gonna step between

the two horsemen here. Corden is almost dead, I think. Yep. I'm gonna look up at Courtney and say, I will end your doom and I will use a bonus action to channel my fighting spirit again as my weapon is in view, giving me advantage on the next four attacks. I will forego my last one and make a fifth attack. That will hit with a 30. Yes. 32. Wow.

Second attack will be a natural fucking 20. Ooh, I think of my money. I appreciate it. Yeah, fake money. Big money. And, ooh, that's a natural one plus eight. Actually, this might still hit. That's two natural 20s before anybody, anyone else in the party.

Yeah, exactly right. Well, I got one. Oh, yes. Well, not. There's a count. 22 for the third attempt? That helps. Okay.

So I'm going to do these first and then see what happens. He'll use his reaction to block the third attack. Okay. So... If he's alive. Okay. Yeah, I don't think he will. So first attack.

He's going to do it anyway. So first one's 15, slashing damage. And then the second one was my natural 20, so I get to roll double dies. So that's 12 plus 8. That's 20 slashing. He has exactly 20 hit points left. I'm not fucking shitting you. It's exactly 20.

How do you want to do this? I'm going to look up at him as I'm taking my scythe out. I'm gonna spin it around and I'm gonna do a wide sweep as I'm aiming for his neck and I'm gonna end his misery by completely beheading him. And as his body's falling off the horse, I'm gonna catch it and lay it on the ground. Nice.

You do this and as you're Naginata slides beneath his jaw lined through his neck, you watch as his jaw falls open as he lets out a horrifying scream, but it is not just noise that emanates from him. A spirit begins to emerge merge, climbing out of the desecrated body and rising into the air, no longer a horrifying death night, but the spirit of Sir Gordon in all of his glory. As he looks down at all of you, he smiles,

a sense of sadness over his face as he looks at the horrible massacre that has happened to this room, and then his eyes find his friend as his soul slowly moves, his spirit slowly moves towards Sergei. You watch as he places one hand on Sergei's shoulder. Radiant light erupts out of the sunsword as Gordon begins to channel his own divine energy into the blade. You see as a bit of the barrier holding into this room begins to crack away as the two of them now work together to open the door. Beautiful. Well done, Kana. We've released her cordon from his bimes. We are doing good work here. Continue. Okay. And then my last two attacks, I'm going to swing a and looking Sir Zelensky and into his eye holes.

I will, uh, I will, uh, you got some birdie eye holes, Blinsky. That's all I'm gonna say. I ain't got no teeth, but I love your eye holes. I guess that's fucking out holes, you know what I'm saying. Both of these will be above 30. Those, yeah, those will almost have. Nah, I can't.

Re-roll two. Nice, so that'll be 10 plus 16, so that'll be 26 points of slashing damage. 26, you say? Uh, sorry. All right, 26. You slash into it. He takes it.

He looks like he is bloodied. He's weak, he's weak, he must strike now. And with the rest of my movement, I'm going to stand right next to Victoria again, and I will shoulder to shoulder with her and kind of let her know physically that I'm here for her. Dane Blanchett is in the, in the, she is going to charge toward you, Connor.

Okay. She is still slowed, isn't she? She is. Yeah. So she has 30 movements beat back. She can get there. Okay. But she only has one action. She's one attack.

Right. Either an action or a bone attack. And she's already that. Damn it. Oh, so she can even cast might. No. So she's going to make one attack down on Kana. Okay.

And that is going to hit. Okay. Get booked. Not you. Fourteen slashing damage and 17 points of poison damage. Damage. 17? Poison? Yes. A poisoned blade. And that is her turn. Sir Rivera, it is his turn.

He's not grapple. I didn't continue it. Great. He is then going to charge forward. He is going to charge forward directly towards Victoria. He is going to use his staggering smite. I will mage slayer that. Yes. Finally. Yes.

Thank you. Okay, so I'm just gonna make two normal attempts with the sword. And both of them will hit. So there's at least that. So you still make the mage, you still make the spell, I just get to do something against you as my reaction. Oh.

It doesn't counter spell it. I should. No, no, you just make a melee attack, but then if it's concentration. Let me do the stuff for Victoria, for Vicki over here. Oh, Vicki. So both of them hit,

So you were going to take... I need a hand on saving throws. Yep. 17 points of slashing damage. 14 necrotic from the first hit. Good. And 12 psychic from the staggering smite. And I also need you to make a wisdom-saving throw, please.

Does this get... What is it? What is heroes... Wisdom saving throw? Wisd. So double in. No, no. It's a B-4. It's disadvantaged.

It's advantaged. It's advantaged. By a D-20. Grab another D-Term. You're going to be a black. You do this, ma'am. That's a little 20-and-1. Yeah, it was good.

So you will avoid the additional effects of this. And you will take seven points of slashing, another seven points of slashing. Nope, that's the wrong ones. Too many dice, too many dice. And 17 points of necrotic

damage. So I'm going to reaction make an attack against Sir Rivara. Yes. For the o-mage slayer, that should hit with a 31. Yeah, that hits. And then I'm going to damage the creature plus five, so that's going to be 13 points of slashing damage. And if they are concentrating on a spell,

they have disadvantage on that saving throw to maintain concentration. Okay. That's my reaction. And Victoria, all right? It has it been a minute since I've cast an bite? No. Not even close. You have, you have eight more. Yeah, you've got seven more rounds at least. Okay, so I will turn my eyes

towards Blanchett. Okay. And with saving... Whiz, whiz, with save Victoria. I get a natural one, so... It's fine. Oh, it does the thing. Oh, it does the thing I wanted it to do. Oh, my God.

She... What if it would affect an undead? He's going to fall asleep. Oh. Are they immune? They're undead, so... I mean, I don't have them as being immune to sleep. So no, I guess not.

Power of Raven Queen Biz. I didn't put it as an immunity. So, yeah. Lay her down, soft. if you choose to lay her down. Just... Yeah, yeah, just be very, very soft. I'm a little lighter down.

It's gonna break. Maybe the other side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect, perfect. As you watch, as an unearthly, deathly sleep descends over Dane Glanchett, and she falls over the horse on top of her, both of them, completely unconscious.

Okay, then I will use... Let it happen. Natural one left one. Got to get. Bonus action. Um... to send one of my moats at Zelensky. Okay.

Frushed. 25. 25 to hit? Yeah, that hits. 16 radiant damage. And then Bartholomeo is going to scoot around Shep and lunge at Zelensky for bite attack. Oh, yeah. And he will have advantage for pack tactics.

When you want to hit. That hits. Okay. Get him, poochie. Get him, poochie. Get him, Bartholome here. That's 10 piercing damage. I can't imagine you wouldn't pass this, but you need a 13.

I'm sorry, a strength saving trick. Oh, 20. Yeah. My little dog does not knock down your spectral horse. It's like Yombe. It's like, Remy trying to jump and like it's back. The, once again, the Zelensky and Rivara look around frantically as they channel their magic into the corpses on the ground. They are going to summon nine more bloodied ghosts of Borobia.

And if you could just put them in places around. I know, I really can't. I'm going to get absolutely savage if I try to make it. any moves. And then they have 20 foot reach. So they're just going to get where they can at least hit somebody, people. And then I'm going to have a cluster one. Who's cluster one near? It looks like Kana. Yeah. Yep. Is it all? And Victoria. Okay. So two on Kana, one on Victoria. Okay. Both are failing on Kana. Okay. But one is going to hit on Victoria. I have no reactions. I'm sorry.

A 15, 19, sorry, 19 points of necrotic damage. And then I need a strength saving throw from you. Can you twist it? Asher. Yeah, yeah, let's do. Twist it. We got a lot of twists. Thank you, Chad.

Thank you, Chad. Still, 14. 14 misses, your AC is lowered by one. For a minute. And then cluster two, who are they around? They are within. Everyone else. Everyone else.

They can pick anybody. The two and three are within of pretty much everybody. Or no, no, sorry, two is within range of everybody. Three is Clayton and Sarnax. Okay, so I'm gonna have that one do. Two on a Sarnax, one on Clayton. Both of those are gonna hit.

And then one on Clayton, and that is also gonna have. Two, strength rating throws. Strengthsating throws. No, please, no. It will miss. 15. And 13. So I think I failed.

23 necrotic. Your strength lowers by one for the one you failed. Yes, 23 necrotic. And then an additional 15 points of necrotic. Oh, fuck. And then the next one is going to do two on Shepard and one on Clayton. Okay. Both on Shepard.

No, what's your AC now? 13. Oh yeah, no, both of those hit. Oh, fuck. It was so close to a natural 20. What is yours? Again? 26.

Oh, yeah, no, so that one misses. Twist that. I mean, I have plus a strength though, right? Right, but you might get up this time number. Nope. 14 points of necrotic damage for the first one. And 16 points of necrotic damage for the second one. And that is all of the ghosts.

It is Wrath of the Wedding Guests. I need you all to make your saves. Oh, I'm in a different thing, but I'm immune to feel. thing, but I'm immune to fear. If you were in green, you're unaffected. If you're in blue, you're unaffected. Or blue is unaffective. Green is the fire damage, right? You got a 50? But the, now that his soul has been released that's no longer out. That's right. That's right. Have we figured that out as in character? Yes. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I just, I described it, but it was a moment. Okay. Apologies.

Uh, 26. Restrain. And did anybody fail? 15 was the... No. I met it. No. So, no. So, no. So, so. So, no. So, So none of you are affected by anything unless you are in, oh, not, and Green doesn't, that was the one that did the damage. So that's done, She did it okay. I think if I move correctly here, I mean, because she's like, her base is like here.

No, her, so I try to keep her like center. So like her base is like here. So if you go, you could get here without, which would be in range. Add to this one. Well, if he's also, what's his weapon? Whose weapon? Zolonski.

Zolinski is a lance. He's a lance, which has reached. So you won't be out of his, presumably, if he has reach. No, his lance was five. Oh. Fuck it. I move up to point blank range to my girl,

Blanche, and I take a opportunity attack from the White Knight, and then I unload three attacks. He hits 12 points of piercing and 13 radiance. From Zelensky, as he digs his. lance into your flesh as you pass by. I'm going to make three advantage attacks on Blanche. Fuck you. That's fucking go.

Is it sleeping on no crib? First one's a natural 20. Yes! Got to give it up. Second one is going to be like 40 did. And third one. Misses sadly.

It's going to be thank God for advantage. 31 to hit. So for the natural 20, that's going to be 68 points of damage. Wow. I gave that to you?

You did. No. Right? Because it's, well, because I doubled dice and their max damage. Yeah. No. So 30 times 2 is 60 plus the 8 for my weapon. Is 68 points of damage to the gun?

Yeah. That'll do it. Because it's five. Okay. Yep. Then the next two attacks. Amazing. Are going to be 11, 12, 17, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, 26.

Wow. We're about to get over 100. 367. 27 plus 8 is 35 plus 6 is 41 plus 8 is 49. So 49 for the next two. So 68 plus 49 is 117. Let's fucking go. You step forward, you take the lance in the back

and you feel the blade sink into you, but you are incensed. You have had enough as you let loose blast after blast after blast from judgment. and redemption, your target is Blanchett and she must die. As the final blast erupts into her, you watch as her eyes open, her socketless skeletal eyes open, and for a second,

you see her true face, the beauty of who she was in life, as her soul slowly begins to, spirit, slowly begins to rise up out of her undead form, the bones in which she had inhabited begin to crumble into dust, ancient, as they are. They fade away on the soft air within the cathedral. She rises up into the air. She looks down at all of you.

And she smiles. Her eyes turn towards Sergei as she flies slowly down towards him. She places her hand at the nape of his neck. You can see the love of a friend as she stares down at him, channeling her magic, purple beam directly into the sunsword. lights even more. The light in this room is growing brighter and brighter, as you see even more cracks in the strange blood magic that is keeping this door locked. Blanchett, I'm so sorry. Rest easy. Hold on, Shepard. Clayton.

I'm glad I hired you. I am going to, um, uh, looking at the ghosts here, sort of near me, but like right, but not in melee range. I'll say, I haven't done much, but let's try it be a sarkhanas. And I'm gonna shoot Aldrich Blast. A beam at each of the ghosts. And I have four beams. So let's do the first three, see if those hit. Yeah, they all hit. You know.

Their AC is 16. Then my lowest was 20 by 20. So I do, I guess I'll roll damage. 8 to 1, 7 to 1, 8 to another. Yes, if any of the ones that you hit, you're able to blast into mists of blood as they take the force hits from your arcane glass. I will send the fourth glass to the one right next to me.

Okay. So that's cluster two, three. So two's gone, the cluster three on. And we'll just say it's one is dead. If I hit, it's 20. Yes, that hits. So number one in cluster three has been obliterated it bursts into blood.

Blood mess. Then what I will do is I will use my bonus action to send Lucas's hand up here. And I will reach my hand out and do this and use grasping hand on Zillinsky. So it's another contest.

It's probably a strong boy, though. Wasn't you like the priestly guy? I mean, they're fucking death knights, man. Yeah, come on. Like, you know. I'm an old. You said it's a strength save? It's a strength check.

It's a strength check. Okay, what did you get? Sorry, let me just pull up my stent. Make sure that I have this right. 17 plus 8 is what? 25. No, I got a 14. Okay.

So he is grappled and he takes, I think, I believe six, or no, sorry, 46 plus five. So he will take, 10, 15, 20 damage. And that is to Zelensky, 20. Sorry, I didn't catch if he was grappled or restrained. He's graphing. He's graphing.

Okay. So he just came. Rap, or scrap. So there's no advantage, I guess, because he's not restrained. Correct. He basically is helping place. All right, that is your turn. Sir Zelensky is going to turn towards you, and he is going to... Oh, no.

I don't know if I want to do that. No, he's just going to attack you twice. He is going to make both these packs against you. He can't move. Zelensky. Zelensky is grapples. Zolensky is currently grappled. Oh, then to Victoria.

She's right in front of him. Just whoever's in front of him. Both of those are both in phone. Both of those are going to hit. Victoria, I need some. She's a TLC. As he takes his lance, he stabs it in. He flips it around, stabs it in again,

directly into the same wound. Oh, fuck. 20 points of piercing damage. That was for both of the Lances piercing. Now I'm going to roll the radiant damage. 18. 18 radian damage for the first hit.

And 20 points of radiant damage for the second. Oh, good. As the second stab occurs, sorry, I'm going to have to summon the strength of the grave. Oh, let's go. So, oh shit. I can't. Because it's radiant. Yeah, it is radiant damage.

Are you hitting zero? But it's the radiant damage that does it. Oh, fuck. Net Debt encountered the challenge. As Zelensky takes his lance. Okay, can I? I draw from the top of my death. The hair, you're a reaction.

As a reaction. Part of greed. You're so much in the rain. Wait for it. You actually, you don't have any reactions because you were hit with the staggering smite in that last a minute. Oh, shit, I don't have that either.

Okay. As the second piercing of the lance, as Sir Zelensky takes the lance and digs it and bedding it into the wound, that he had just made on your body. You feel the life leave you as you fall to the ground. And as you slowly fade into unconsciousness, you hear the fluttering of wings,

darkness all around you. But yet, you can feel her. Her presence is there. You've triggered the boon of the Raven Queen. You now arise coughing up blood at one hit point. Oh my fucking guy, let's go! Let's go! Please mark that you know I'll have to put the victory, please.

Oh, my God. Beneho and DM, thank you. That's such a great boon. You got it. Thank you for grabbing that hairpin, Victoria. But I only once, so I'm all the thing, right? And it's the layer action. You're standing.

It's not Victoria's turn. and that was Sir Zelensky. Sarnax, it's your turn. Okay. Are those ghosts within 30 feet of me? One of them is. No, no, no, the other ghost. Pretty close. I'm going to step within the 20 feet of the bloody ghost.

Just take 10 feet. Yeah, done. And I'm going to raise my lantern and say, good nights of the morning, Lord, your salvation will be found in the dawn. And I'm going to cast Radiance. You are prone, though, by the way. Wisdom saving throw.

I presume being a DM that runs minions, all of the ghosts are dead. Do you presume that? I presume that. Was the saving throw for both of them, please. Well, now they're not. How dare you? I'm just, I'm trying to help.

Yes, they're all dead. Radiance of the dawn. God damn it. So close. 31 points of radiant damage to anyone who fails. That's just the ghost, right? No, no, well, the ghost. If both of the knights have to make a bliss saving.

Oh, I didn't realize that they were. They just didn't make a wind saving though. 31 points of radiance. They both pass. Okay, so they take 15 points. to radiant damage. And then... 16.

$16.31. They take 15. Rounded down. 15. Rounded down. Okay. Yeah. And then my blade can't even move. It's only 20 feet per bonus action.

So I am going to... I'm going to have Prince Zucco. I'm going to have the fire prince poof me up and we are going to go right next to Victoria. And everyone, all the bad guys within 10 feet around me have to make a dexterity saving throw. And I think- Oh, some more?

Yeah, sorry. Jesus. That's my principle. Sir Zelensky passes, Sir Rivar fails. So I need, oh God, I keep forgetting how much fucking damage it is. Not flame seed. Ah, so those who, those who,

I mean, here, 68, six plus five, 11 points of fire damage to those who fail, five points to those who succeed. A fire damage. And as we emerge, poof. next to them. And a big explosion happens. Yes, that happens.

Conn. All right. Between, oh, shit. So she's still on the ground behind me. Yeah, she's, she has one hit point, and she is prone.

I'm going to whip around and say, Victoria, oh, my God! And I'm going to drop my naginata. I'm going to yank my superior healing potion out of my pack. And I'm going to shove it in her mouth and I'm going to lift her head up gingerly and like a lady. I'm not going to shove it in her mouth. I'm going to just pour it in her mouth. It's apologies. That was very vile.

Thank you. Superior. So AD4 plus 8. So I will do that this turn. I don't really have any other bonus actions that I can do. Yeah, I will hold second wind. So I will just do that. I'm just going to heal Victoria. All right. ADA plus eight. It is Saravara's turn then. Who's near him? Victoria's prone, Kana's next to him, and Shepard. Shepard Kana and Victoria, and Victoria is on the ground. And Lucas's hand. And loses his hand, right.

He is going to make a, he's going to make his first attack against Victoria. And that is going to hit. Six. 17, and then two more. 21. You take 29 points of healing. Oh, thank you. Right on time. Then 20, so you're going to take 13 points of slashing and 23 necrotic.

I'm going to stand in front of her. As the blade is coming down, I'm going to use my reaction. And I will say, you will do no such thing. She has fallen on the ground. you to attack someone who is pro. You have no honor. And I will take all of that damage instead. 13 and 23.

Okay. Sir Rivar is going to turn his head towards you. And you're going to see a horrific smile alight his face. A loud, booming laugh reverberates throughout the cathedral. As he looks towards you as he goes to attack you. And just as the blade, gets within range, he turns it towards Victoria,

and he's going to shove it into her again. Okay. That's not much of it. And that's also going to have. That's Pete, Victoria. That's all I can do. Sorry, I told you we're going to have to be mean tonight. It's okay. It's okay. That's all I can do. I'm so squishy. Seven points of slashing damage.

Okay, okay. Can we worse. Can we worse? Seven. Roll poorly. Roll poorly. Quick for 143. 19 points of necrotic damage. Victoria's head is cleaved from her body. She's still up, though. She's still up. She's still up? I did math. I did the math. All right. All right, then.

That is his turn. Victoria, it is your turn. So what is it? Half movement to stand up. Correct to move down. Quite slow in addition to being squishy. Miss Isaacs, I suggest you be standing up. I am going to stand out. Wakey, wakey. Need to get some selling salt. God.

I'm gonna... She's fainted in the thoroughfare. He has five reach. What does he have? They all have five reach. Okay. I'm gonna... Is it dim light here?

Is it? It's not dim light, is it? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not too. I'm going to use, disengage and use the rest of my movement

to flee towards the professor. Okay. Do I still have done it? It's actually. I just getting out. Yeah, no, you do. Okay. I will use a bonus action to hurl one of their modes back towards...

Nice. Wala Zinsky. She's a blitz-Zilinsky. Trailing blood the whole way over to the professor. Oh, wedding gown. My white, white wedding gown is just covered in blood. Oh, right. She's fighting her wedding gown.

That's so badass. Oh, my gosh. Don't worry, Andy. I'm still going to kill you one. Yes. That's fine. We'll figure it out. So that is a 30. TBD.

That hits. 27. 27 radiant damage. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Nice, nice. Yes, 27 radiant damage to Zelinsky.

As I cast that bolt straight at his face. He takes the radiant damage to the face. It begins to singe the flesh hanging onto a skeletal form. He is looking very weak. And I will again whistle and Bartholomew will lunge at him. Snapping and slavering. Get it, pooch. Oh. What's about fine? 14. That misses. Misses. Missa does. Come on, pooch.

So with that, both of the knights look towards each other. They point. towards the ground beneath Clayton and Victoria as they begin to channel magics a I need you to put the thing around them yes it is a layer action as they channel their death and decay I need you to they can hit all of us yeah cool then they're gonna do that so you're all gonna take damage you forgot to assign homework What kind of damage we're saying? Necrotic. I think is this a save or not?

No. You're gonna take 15 points of necrotic damage. Okay. And then you will, you imagine you will take some at the start of your turn if you stay in the face. That's kind of a BD. Yeah. Oof. If that's a D.

Now I will summon the strength of the grid. Hey! Hey! That's persistent. I will leave this here. Yes, it is persistent. kind of way to... I'll lift this guy on.

Yeah, move fire, Jones. The ground beneath you begins to pop with pestilence as the death itself begins to damage you. The rot tears away your flesh, almost acidicly, as it eats through your clothing and your skin. It's very painful. There we go. Death and decay.

Death and decay. Yikes. But as long as we move out, by the end of our turn, we won't take more, right? We can move out of it, Oh, by the end of their turn. Hopefully, we won't take damage at the end of our turn.

It's the beginning. I'm not going to go to a hat about that. Correct. Well, usually it's when you first enter an ability and then at the end of your turn. Oh, yeah, no, it's at the end of your turn. Sorry, not the beginning. Yes, you were right.

All right. Let me double two. Yeah, I mean, no worries either way. How much was the damage? Yeah, if the creature ends its turn in the ground. That's not good. In the ground.

It takes damage. Gotcha. Oh, yes, so it is. Oh, it works. Okay. So five plus the damage two. Taken would be 20, and I just meet it. I meet it. My charisma's 11 plus 9 is 20. Yeah. Holy fuck. Meter B? So you are up? I, yeah, I instead drop to one each bead.

Shadow sources. Shep, you're up. But I look like a sterile. It's wrath every, anybody in. I do. I do. I went into the one where I could, oh, I can get affected. Oh, is there a save now? Purple and green are unaffected. Purple, green, and blue are unaffected right now. It's just white. Sheparder. If you're in white. Okay. So I'm white. I'm purple. Yeah, he's purple.

Sorry, you're purple. I'm white. I am. I fail. I fail. Oh, no. It's, wait. Wait, is it con? Is it con? Is it con? Oh, no. Con, I actually might be fine. Oh, no, I have 20. Oh, no, no, 18. Sorry, 18. 18. So you do 16. Okay. You were fine. Matt. You were able to shrug off the blinding light. Shepard. I'm going to move out of the way of this. Oh, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many times did you move five feet inside of it? Oh. I was on the edge, so my first five-foot movement put me out of it.

He was right out of it, yeah. He was right on the edge. Okay, so you'll take one D-4. Oh, that's too much. I'm dead. Two points of a necrotic image. Oh, ha! Ah! Shit! Uh, and then, and then I'm going to use my bonus action to move my hunter's mark to the White Knight,

night and make two attacks. There's some death in my boots. Oh, yeah. Matt Hamm is pretty shaky. That's right. Sorry. The attack, 25 is the lowest to hit?

Yes. That hits. Actually, he's going to use one of his reactions and make it to 26. So one of them is going to get blocked. So one of them is blocked. The other two hit. Or all of them hit.

All but. All but. Sorry, Andy. 9, 10, 11, 12, 20 points of damage for one attack. You only have two attacks? I thought you had three. Oh, Hunter's Mark.

Wasted a bonus action, you blocked one. Yeah, sorry. Hunter's getting not so good in multi-strikes. He takes the damage, but he is still holding strong. And it is Clayton's turn. I will, who's looking weaker? Easily Zelensky. Ravara is still doing just fine.

Okay. I am going to bring my hand over here as a bonus action, and I will grapple Rivarra. So we're going to make a contest. 25?

Yeah, you pass. Okay. You beat him. So he does 4D6 plus 5, and he is grappled. 13,000 bludgeoning damage. And then I'm going to use my movement

to step out. out of this, so I'm gonna take 1D4 damage, presumably. Is it only five feet that you're moving from it? Only five feet, yep. You're gonna take one point of necrotic damage. Okay. And then I think, seeing that Zelensky's wounded, right? Yes.

I wanna say Alkanus, and I will shoot Arcane Blast at this guy. Let's do a big stuff in here. One's a natural, two natural ones, but the other two. do that 20-something and a... So he takes, you know, let's see. He takes 13 points of this damage.

He takes it. He looks like he's having a really rough time. He's barely able to hold himself up on top of the undead steed, but he is still undead. All right. It is Zelensky's star. Zalinski is going to who's in front of him? Sarnax and Kana and the Hound. He is going to turn towards each of them, Sarnax and Kana, and he's going to land each one of them.

It's going to hit for Kana, and it is definitely going to hit for Sarnax. Ten points of piercing damage, Sarnax. Yeah. Nine points of radiant damage. 12 points of piercing damage, Kana. Okay. nine points of radiation damage. Right.

And that is Sir Zelensky's turn. Sir Nets. I am going to I am going to raise my lantern up and say, you all walk with Garrick's and I'm going to pass mass healing word at a third level. And I will roll that healing.

And then bonus action, I am going to poof again, basically right, right, far enough away where I don't think they'll hit me, but where it's within 10 feet, Rich, if you could do that. And then they both need to make dexterity saving throws. Is masculine word about this action? Yep. That's why it would be useless otherwise, yep.

Oh, wait, so no, I cannot use it as an action. You're right, so I have a full action to do. But I don't have any... So I am just going to stay where I am, and I am going to, wait, I can use two spells, can I? Yeah, but you can't change a bonus action to an action. God, I am going to, I am going to just raise my lantern again and say the light of dawn will catch you back to the darkness and use it again.

Wisdom saving it throw for both of them. Thank you for keeping me honest. They both succeed. Okay, wisdom, 19. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I was not expecting this 2D10. My last 9 plus 20 is 29 points, so half of 29 is... 14. 14 points of radiant damage to each of them.

And I'm just going to walk away. I'm going to walk away from them because I'm not in range. So, I'm just having me walk away. And that's it. And tell me how many spaces? Oh, actually, three. Three, three to get out. 11 points of chronic damage. Kana. Do I sense that... Fifteen boys are healing, everyone.

Thank you. Oh, sweet. Looking between the two, Rivera and Zelensky, how do they look? Zelensky is easily the most wounded. He looks like he's barely hanging on. Rivara is severely wounded as well. I'm going to start with two attacks on Zelensky. 19 and then a 21.

He is going to use... his reaction to cancel one of those checks. Okay, but they- So one still hits. That is a one. That's all three roll of that. That's ten. So 18 points of slashing to Zelensky.

How do you want to do this? I would do the same as I am trudging through this decay and sludge and awfulness that's on the ground. I'm going to bow down. and as I try to reach up, I'm going to jump up and do another beheading as I attempt to lay him to rest as well. And I will say, join your fellow brethren and Sergei at the front. They are awaiting you. And I will again catch his body and lay it on the ground in the decay, I guess. As you take his body in your hands, you can feel the, you can feel him begin to deteriorate, his bones turning to dust.

As his spirit slowly rises out, his eyes catch yours for a second. second, and you can feel the smile before you see it on his face. Once again, Sir Zelensky rises up into the air, looking over all of you. Thankful for what you've done here. He quickly glides towards Sergei, standing directly behind him, almost like a fatherly figure. As he stands there, he places both of his hands on Sergei's back and begins to channel the white magics into him, the, once again, trying to help Sergei crack the magics on the door. And that is Sir Rivera's turn.

I still have two or attacks. Oh, you do. If I stand here, will I still be within five feet of him? I can't believe you've seen behind the head. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to move through. Well, you also have reach.

Yeah, I'm just trying to get out of the mud and without provoking opportunity attack. So I will bonus action dash using my expedition's retreat that's still going, and I will make two attacks on River. How many space? Did you move? Three. Three. Eight points of damage. Okay. These are regular attacks. The lowest one would be a dirty 20. He will use his reaction. Okay, and that'll be 14 points of slashing to Romero. All right. He takes the damage. He does not look as wounded as the other ones had, and as he continues to bear down on all of you. And it is his turn.

Who is around? Kana's right behind him. He's attacked. He's going to turn and attack Kana twice. With a natural 20. And then the other one hits his spot. Yikes. So I will do the normal hit first.

Okay. God, he's the brutal one too. 15 points of piercing. All right. 15 points of radiant damage. Okay. 21 points of piercing for the crit. And I'm down.

You're down? I'm down, and it procks a reaction called strength before death. If you take damage that reduces you to zero hit points and doesn't kill you outright. Yeah, you're good. Yes, you're fine. It's not going to kill you. You can use a reaction to delay, falling unconscious. You can immediately take an extra turn interrupting the current turn,

while you have zero hit points during that extra turn, taking damage causes death-saving failures as normal, and three death-saving throw failures can still kill you. When the extra turn ends, you fall unconscious if you are still at zero. So as I fall, everything's going to go in a super slow motion. And right as my head hits the back of this pavement, I'm going to spring back up and everyone else is still... And I'm going to prock my bonus action.

to give me fighting spirit, gives me advantage on all attacks. Honest arms fly behind her and she leans forward. 27. To hit? Yep. Yeah, it hits. We roll two. 14.

Damage? 14 points of damage. 24 to hit. That hits. We roll twos. That's a two still. 10 points of damage. 24.

That'll do. Yeah, that'll have. 15 points of damage. These are going to be rapid strikes, so two separate attacks. Damn, fighters don't stop attacking. One's at 22, and the other one's at 29. Both of those are.

16, and the other 16 points of damage, and then 11 points of damage. Okay. And then I will action search. I get five more attacks. Five. Okay. You kill him.

Drop our mics a little bit. I can't believe he's a crit on that. Sorry headphones people. Okay, I'm gonna, I'm zipping past him in all directions. I'm slashing into the horse, severing into the bone, the meat, cleaving, clean. One, two, three, four. The horse falls forward on its knees. She flips forward on the back and gets behind Riviera.

I hold up his head facing his friends, and I say, you will rejoin your friends now. Please lay in peace, and I will sever the head off. Got him. Pleave completely clean as I fall unconscious behind the body of Rivera, slumped over him in a hold as I fall unconscious. You fall unconscious. You can feel his spirit rise up through yours.

And you think, this is. must be, this must be the sound of spirits. As the flapping of wings catches you softly, your boon of the Raven Queen has been activated. As you slowly open your eyes and you feel like you don't fully understand what you're seeing, colors melded together, slowly your vision comes to as Sir Rivera makes his way outside of your body. As you stare up at him, he shimmer. his light radiating out over the entirety of the cathedral.

He looks down at all of you and he smiles. He sees the struggle Sergei is in as he floats, glides towards the rest of his friends. He places his hands around them and channels his blue light into them. You watch, Sergei sweats profusely as he battles with the bloody power that has imprisoned you. But now there's only a thin film that remains. flanked by all of his friends who offer up their weapons and hearts to their Lord one final time, he smiles softly. My dear friends, I thank you.

United, all five paladins of the Morning Lord make a single thrust with their five holy weapons, and with a hissing sizzle, the barrier of blood breaks as it is burned away by the light of dawn. The sacred flame arcs to the corners of the room. It swiftly brings a merciful end to the animated corpses as they turn to some. moldering ash. When the glow returns to normal, you realize the entire cathedral has been cleansed and quiet finally falls after the slaughter. The souls of the fallen nights remain standing beside Sergei, as the five share a private moment, leaving the five of you to recover from the battle amongst yourselves. You watch as they huddle together. And for the sake of this, you move

away and you allow them their private moment to say goodbye. You move towards the entrance hall, giving them their privacy. As you make your way out of the cathedral, your footsteps echo across the great hall. Feels almost oppressive, the noise as it reverberates around you. Looking back, you see Sergei and his knights, their spectral forms slowly fading, but they're still present, as they laugh and embrace a beam of sunlight radiating from them. In the grace of the morning, Lord, together, finally. You look over the smoldering ruins of the cathedral. All of the bodies seem to be burnt to ash.

Souls, spirits, still trapped in Borovia, but their body is no longer desecrated. the cathedral itself seems to be in a sense of calm. What do you do? Areba still breathing? Pelly. Connor, I can't thank you enough. You're Walker.

Why are you alive? How can you ask such a question, Professor? The gods, they are here in Berovia. These poor souls were unable to escape their fate, But the morning Lord is here. His cathedral restored. Garex, his consort. We have the divine on our side.

Madame Eva. We have Madame Eva on our side. She came here to die. She knew. You could tell. She knew. Yes. She knew.

She wasn't invited. Those poor souls. She had already left Barovia. She did not need to return from the mist. This was meant to be. It's different this time. And I believe that's why she chose the path she chose. You understand?

We're alive for a reason. It has nothing to do with me or you or anyone. They're alive because we've been chosen by fate. And I'm still, despite my years of research, dipping into the arcane, trying to see the future. Fate is still a mystery. Let's not ruin this. Let's not let all of those people die in vain.

I'm glad we could bring some rest to those poor souls, this horsemen. We don't have time to rest, but you need to find much Shradanis. You hear the sound of plate boots clanking on the stone. Your attention is drawn back towards the cathedral. Sergei walking towards you. His sunsore radiating with holy magics. These spectral images of his former knights surrounding him. All of them smiling, radiating as they look at you. I cannot thank you enough for the honor you have done for my friends. And I hope you will understand.

why I could not raise my sort against him. It was an honor for us to do you and your noble knights such a service, Sergei. And to all of you, I sincerely apologize for all of my comments on the morning lord when I first entered this land. They clasp your hands, but none of them seemed to be able to speak, almost an emotional telekinetic link between them and Sergei. But they do not speak words to you. As they clasped their hands around you, you can feel the warmth of morning sun. They would like to offer the thanks to you if you would allow it.

Of course. Please stand in line in front of us. As Sergei takes a sunsword in front of him and he kneels down, you all line up and in front of each one of you, one of the knights stands forward, radiating, light. Sir Zelensky in front of Clayton. He reaches out

his hand towards you, his weapon out, as he places it from shoulder to shoulder. And Sergei says, Sir Clayton Ezra. Dame Blanchett steps towards you, Sarnax. She takes her weapon from shoulder

to shoulder. And Sergei says out, Sir Sarnax of the Edelwood. Sir... Corden, thank you. you, steps towards Shepard. And he places his weapon on one side to the next.

Sir Shepard Morgan. And then lastly, Sir Ravara steps towards Victoria. Places weapon from side to side. Dame Victoria, Isaacs. And finally, Sergei rises, his blade glowing, ever brighter as he moves towards you, Kana. He takes the sunsort from one shoulder to the next. He tilts your head up, a true hero.

And with that, you see as the shifting spectral forms of all of the nights begin to dissipate. They all smile at you proudly, heroes this day, as their spirits converge into the sunsword itself, it radiates a light unlike you have ever seen, begins to dim. Though I believe that they are still here with us, Sergei looks fondly at his sword.

They shine our light, their light on us always. For now their souls rest. Until we can end the tears. tyranny of my sister and truly allow them peace. We have a vampire to kill and we do not have time. You all benefit from a short rest. Thank you, sir. Do not thank me.

Thank the loyal knights of the morning Lord. Thank you, Sir Zelensky. I just wish we could have done more. That is the most anyone could have hoped for in a situation. they've hoped for in a situation like this. It is at this point that you hear the thudding of footsteps on stairs.

Well, what the royal fuck happened in here as you see Escher sweep down the stairs. A cloak tightened fastened around his body as he flourishes it behind him. Do you not

see what is happening to the castle? I can't get out this strange throbbing, pulsing red what have you done this did not go as smoothly as you said it was going to go You mean you can't leave None of us can leave

The doors, the windows Even my secret passages They're all blocked by this pulsing Strange radiance You have royally pissed her off Have you not? She's killed them all Do you know any way to her

Where would she go? We don't have time to explain right now we can explain as we go, but where would Shredaanya be? I mean, to be, to be quite honest with you, she... I checked her throne, I could not find her. The only place I can potentially think is she might have found her way to the brides. What would she be doing with the brides? This reeks of a little game they've been playing the past few weeks.

You see, they received a gift. Some strange contraption that they... they all have been enjoying. Its magic is unlike something I myself prefer to imbibe in, but they've been lustful for it, craven for it. It's really quite pathetic, if you ask me. Almost like a drug. What is it?

But the stench of it smells, and you see as he walks over and he runs a long finger down the wall, and it's almost as if these, red blood tendrils that are stretching out all over the walls and criss-crossing over the doors. It's almost as if they throb like veins. And as he runs his finger over it, he breathes in. Yes, scent of blood. If I know what I know and I always do, the brides are up to something. Whether Stradonia's with them or not, I can't tell me. you, but what I can say

is they are up to no good. We have to stop this. Those that were killed in the cathedral were not all that reside in Barovia or in Castle Ravenloft. Shredonia sent

invitations far and wide. There were far too many arrived who could fit in the cathedral. If we're going to rescue the innocence like you have asked me to help with, We need to get these doors open, so we need to pay them a visit. You're saying that there's still innocence in the castle.

Hundreds. And it will not be good enough to simply avenge them. I'm tired of wishing vengeance. For once in your life, Escher, let us save them. And I'll look towards like the grand holes with like the main gate to the castle, right? They're the main entrance way, yes. You can see that that is completely closed off by these pulsing, bloody veins. Chardagna was correct when she said this place was a prison.

What is the nature of the gift that you were referring to that the brides have been playing games with? Do you know? Do they even let you in this chamber? I can enter the chamber if I choose. I do not play with this toy. There is something about it that unsettles me. I cannot answer that. Do you know perhaps

Who the gift was from? No T'was simply marked a wedding present Asher, since you're not with them Are you in any danger? Does she know that you're here? He looks at you and you can see as he eyes you up and down No, I'm not in danger

But any time I'm near, you are I'm glad you're not in danger Go back to bandage in my needs Could this be the wedding gift that Shadanya wrote of in her journal from Babelah Saga. Yes. It's got to be, right? We saw the schematics.

That would explain the stench. We did. It was a horrible polonquin in her hut. This can't be good. There's no way Babelai Saga still has a role to play in any of this, right? We killed her. Did he not? Am I losing my mind?

We did kill her, but even after her death, what was the vision we all saw in the heart? One for each of us and one more. For Lysaga herself, even in death she continues to pull the strings and force all of Berovia to dance like puppets. Blinsky.

Yes, no, we will mourn his last for sure. So, we should make our way then. All look, but nothing can be done about that now. I do know passageways through the castle. I will get you there as quickly as I can. Sergei

looks at him and you can see for a moment a look of a look of revulsion on his face but he tempers it as he nods towards him. You are the brother of the devil

so you will come with me. Let us lead the way. Sergei nods and slowly moves forward towards Escher and motions for him to lead the way. Well, if you're ready, let us go ruin some fun, shall we? One way or another, this ends today. We are all knights of the morning Lord while we serve Garrick's. We shall stand shoulder to shoulder with any god of light or death that will bring an end to this curse.

Sergei, Escher, lead the way. I will life your path. And I'll let you do your thing. Thank you. We got a real hit points because we got fuzz. Oh, my head. Right? Would they?

Yeah. Thank you. I thought about not giving it to you. Just because I was a little irritated, I actually get to, like, kill me. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah.

I think we were a... I popped two boons. We were on a razor's antin right there. Yeah. That was $79. That was close. Oh, wow. I won't.

70-9. Connor, I want you to have this. You shouldn't have given me yours, and I'll give her the... Poshy. Superior healing potion. Thank you. Well, the thing, that you drink.

Thank you, Victoria. You did not need to do that. I may need to use it again. I can't thank you enough. You stepped right in the line of fire for me. It makes sense. You having a potion on you, could save any of our lives.

His does no good in my pocket to be far from on the ground. Dying. Steady. Dying in deadly death. In Saavax, do not think that your grand gesture went unnoticed. I think you did a great deal of good for all of us. And your girl. I thank you, Victoria.

I do not wish to be noticed. in my axe. I wish to do good. I wish to keep all of you alive to ensure you all return home, and I wish to bring about the end of this. Garex is with me. He is with all of us. And, Victoria, I wanted to say, as we make our way through this castle, I am sorry for doubting you. I'm sorry for seeing darkness within you and labeling it as wickedness. I'm sorry for having, genuine concerns that you would betray us all and become legitimately betrothed to Stradania. It took great courage and strength to do what you did. You have ushered in the end for her.

Without you, we would not be here. Without you, Barovia would truly be lost forever. Thank you. I appreciate your words. But I cannot lie, the love I feel for her is real. and I hope that I am doing her kindness by taking her out of the Star-land. Love works in mysterious ways. Yes, Lizard, and your strange, grating lizard voice is irritating me.

We have to move. Yes. Sermons later. Movement now. Chop, chop. Sergei, it's like I'm talking to children. Sergei just shakes his head at him as he moves forward. And the both of them begin to live.

lead you through the castle. This is a way that you have never been before. Escher takes you into rooms you've never seen, pulls torches and books to find hidden passage and secret stairwells. You feel like you are

traveling for quite a while before you hear the sounds. You're not quite sure what they are. It sounds like bickering, laughter, cackling, and strange grating, grinding noises. Escher stops you and listens for a moment. Yes, we are almost there.

So, once we head through that trap door, and he points up, you see a small ladder embedded in the wall, trap door at the very top. Once we head through that door, and we have to be ready for it for anything. if there is anything you feel you need to do, I would suggest you do it now. So my oil of sharpness lasts for an hour.

Would I say that it's still coating my nagina at this stage? I would say it's done by now. Because short rests are an hour. Well, no, you got a free short rest from the night, from being knighted as sirs and dames. But you've traveled through the castle. Okay. And twist and turns, you went as quickly as you could.

Maintaining game state? I will remove... Do we pass anyone? Is there a sense of urgency? Does everything seem kind of calm? Like, what's the vibe as we go through the castle? I would say the vibe is, it seems fairly calm, but you do hear the raking, or you do hear the piercing screams of people,

entities elsewhere in the castle, the sounds of thudding on doors. You can tell that there are people trapped in here. There are people trying to get out. You hear the sounds of people slamming on windows trying their hardest to get out. but the tendrils sneaking through the castle are unrelenting. You don't meet anyone in particular as Escher is taking you through back pathways and not any of the main areas of the castle. I will say Curio and my case will open up.

I'll pull out of scroll. They don't have a physical prop, unfortunately, to rip and half. But I will say, I've been saving this until I knew for sure. that fate was on our side. And amoeva, you showed me that it is. I'll take good care of our bill. And my eyes will sort of flash this like magenta blue glow and then kind of fade, but in my irises,

you'll still be able to see a little bit of that magic. And I will use the spells rule of foresight that Exa Thanter gave us. Oh, okay, you do that. What is that? Yeah. What does that do? It makes me advantage on everything and everyone's disadvantaged against me. Nice.

Wow. Oh, awesome. You'll have to remind me because I'm going to forget that. Yep. It's going to irritate me, but that's fine. I can see. I am ready. The gods are with us.

In the power of the divine, nothing is unachievable. I want to approach Escher and kind of getting within a more comfortable range of him now. that we have had our moment. I will look at him and say, do you plan on fighting Stradonia today? Well, darling, Connor, that really depends. Well, I know it's sort of ironic, but I think you should have this.

I haven't used it in some time, but I think it'd be better suited for you. And I will take out my blood spear of Kavan. I know there is great history in this weapon, and it means felling a great vampire. I see you have no weapon, I know you have great strength of mind, but I worry about you entering any battle

with no weapon in hand. I would like you to have this if you will take it. Well, aren't you, darling, I'm far too attractive to hold something like that in my hands. Now, are you ready? Any turns from you? Okay. I will, you ready.

I will bow my head and bow. stowed in my back and just give him a curt nod. I appreciated the gesture, Kana. You're welcome. Serey, I'll go first. You follow me. As he scales the ladder quickly, the trap door springing open, almost with lightning speed,

Sergei and Escher climb up through the trap door. You all follow immediately after. And with Sergei and Escher in the lead, you sprint up the ladder toward the opening of the bride's private chamber. You hear bickering voices above, and as you look up, you see the room aglow with red light as bloody magic splashes down beside the steps and slowly coats the walls and begin to close over the entrance to the room.

All seven of you practically crash into the plush and lavishly decorated pleasure chamber. The London horsemen eventually betray me and join the side of the Azran expedition. I don't know why I am surprised at this point. At the very least, my brother, are unwaveringly loyal, and will let no one pass unless their corpses are thrown about the room. One way or another, there will be many such dead bodies. Which side will be victorious? Find out in the conclusion of Chapter 20 of Curse of Thradania, Lament of the Damned.
