You're back beneath a blood moon and listening to Kursos Stradanya, a legends of Adventurous podcast. Last time, the Asran expedition slaughtered my brides and faced me in my audience hall. It has all come to this moment. Every moment in the story so far has led to this confrontation. It's them or me. Who will it be? Or will we all die together?

We are eternally grateful for your support. With that out of the way, let us proceed with the final chapter of Curse of Stradania, Blood Moon. You stand in the grand audience hall facing Stradania with each step. the Countess takes the hate and venom on her face intensifies, and you now realize change to the throne room that surrounds you.

It's faint, but you see the glow of crimson energy running and splitting channels through the walls, the floor, the ceiling, like coursing rivers, the veins of Ravenloft pulse and glow brighter as its Countess faces you and raises her sword. But although the grand designs of the Blood Queen have come to fruition, my war endures, I am Stradanya of House von Zorovic, firstborn daughter of Berov von Zorović, countess of Barovia. I am a warlord.

I conquered this valley of death and have bent it to my will for centuries. I choose my side in the eternal battle between the darkness and the light, and so have you. Our fates have led us here to this place on this night beneath a blood moon. The only way this ends is in blood,

but end it finally will. I am damned, yes, but so are you. All who are damned must die. So let us all die together. Countess, Trinania von Zarovic grips her blade tightly as she steals herself with the grimlet resolve of a lord of death. Her eyes fill with murderous intent.

There will be blood. I need everyone to roll for initiative. 20 to 25. Oh, let me roll my. 22. 23. 15 to 20. 10 to 15? 11.

9. Yarks. And then what did you get, Victoria? Six. I don't think that's actually the highest initial of 5-year-old. All right. As Stradania's boots

click against the stone of the floor as she walks toward you, I do need you to place her about one step off of the pedestal there because she was moving towards you, and we will end her there. She stops and looks between all of you as she unsheeds her sword.

You can see the filigree on it glint in the light. The sword is beautiful as it radiates with a dark magic. Shepherd, how do you want to start this fight? All right, Sarnax, this is it. One last time, shoulder to shoulder, we are the monsters that monsters fear. And she will fear us.

I cast freedom of movement. All my good friends are next. I turn my eyes and my gaze to the Countess, and I narrow my eyes like the hunter that I am as I select her as my prey using my bonus action to make her my Slayers prey. And that is my turn. Can you do that?

Go move. Connor. I'm gonna sidestep around Victoria, and as I peer around, I'm gonna slide my Nagy Noggi Nata down, and it's gonna glint in the blood moonlight that's bathing this battlefield. And I'm gonna say, Stradanya, what did you do to Sergei?

And I'm gonna run up into four attacks against her. I am. First, talk her down. That'll definitely not hit. We'll say 13 does not hit. No. 26. That hits.

All right. That'll be 17. Misses. Oh, that's a nine. Dirty 20. Misses. Holy shit. Oh, fuck. 28.

Hits. Two docky dada spikes. Let's fucking go. So it's fucking 16 plus 10. So that's 26 points of slashing damage. Nice. I'm going to come down over the top of my head as I'm skidding to a halt in front of her. And then as I'm bringing around the side on the left, slide.

through the middle. You slice into her, and it looks like it barely nicks at her armor as she stands towering over you. As she looks down at you, her eyes illuminate with hatred, and you watch as the necklace, the choker around her neck, begins to twist and bend as tendrils whip out around it. And you see that they're sinking down into the floor of Ravenloft itself, pulsing veins spiraling out around the castle as you hear almost like a shatter out on the balcony. Stone against stone.

The sound of what sounds like boulders being hurled at the side of the castle as the doors from the balcony into the room burst open and in first Vasili followed shortly by Boris the gargoyles come to life. If you can move them towards the middle of the room as they break their way into the castle, They are both going to make their attacks. Oh, they're all. Holy shit. So like here?

Yeah, so one of them is going to, yeah, that's perfect. I'm assuming it's Victoria and Sarnax. It's Shepard and Sarnax. And they are going to make their attacks. So one of them is going to be attacking Shepard, the other one, against Sarnax. Yeah. Only one of Vasili's attacks hit Shepard. Two attacks against Sarnax.

The ones against you Sarnax, because both claws hit, I need you, you are grappled and restrained automatically. Nope, freedom of moving. Oh, freedom of movement. Oh, fuck, yes! Let me just double check, because he might have to spend five feet of movement on his turn, but yeah. Either way.

23 points of slashing damage. And eight point, or, uh, 13 points of slashing damage for you, Shepherd. 13, got it. There we go. Yes, you can't be restrained, but if you are growled, you can just spend five feet of movement to automate this game. Um, and that is, that is the layer action. Clayton.

Okay. Uh, I will use my action and I'll say, this is Estradanya. We're doing a good thing for you. Now's the time, Curio! And I'm going to, my case will levitate up and will sit on the ground, it will pop up. And in the case, I will shout down,

Lucas, likely planned, join me! And from the case, you will see a younger man with hair-slick back in a butler outfit. Oh my God. And from it emerges Lucas in physical form as my simulacrum. That's awesome. And I will reach back into the case,

and I'll pull out a jade circlet, and I will throw, I will knowingly nod at him, I will throw it to him. He'll catch it and he'll put it on his head and he'll say, plifomatus, and he will start to grow into a massive version of himself. And I transform into a gigantic, arcane, shimmering Lucas.

What the hell? Oh my God. Um, okay. Oh my God! Oh, my God! And then I will use my bonus action to Misty Step back here. Oh, shit. And I will have Lucas basically try to get right between this gargoyle and Stradania.

And that is my turn. I look up and I'll say, Pleasure to meet you in the flesh, Lucas. You make excellent eggs. It is Stradonia's turn. Holy shit. Stradania is going to look down at Kana. as she runs the blade across her tongue, licking it.

You see a faint line appear where blood begins to spill out of her tongue as she takes it and she is going to slide down at you and make an attack with her black steel long sword and that is going to hit. 23 points of slashing damage and eight points of necrotic damage. And then she is going to. to attempt to make a melee attack against you. As she swings her blade around, she's then going to take her claws, and she's going to rend at you twice.

One of them is going to do the damage. The other one, she is going to attempt to grapple you. Okay. And both of those are going to hit. All right. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

15 points of slashing damage, 11 points of necrotic damage, And then the second attack foregoes the damage as she grapples you. And so you are now, she slices into you as she inhales the scent of your blood. She flips you around and presses you up against her as she looks out at all of you.

Should I drain her first? She was so quick to come and spend time with me in an attempt to save my brother. She seems like the perfect candidate for the first to go, don't you think? Kill her. Go quickly. Innocence first, wickedness later,

as she turns her eyes towards Victoria. I'm good. She's actually going to use her bonus action and bite. Okay. Invite. Oh, boy. O'Connor. Of course.

And that will hit. Okay. 19 piercing damage. Okay. 17 necrotic damage and your max hit point is lowered by the necrotic damage. Is that it? And that is her. Yeah, those are her three attacks.

So I'm grappled. Am I grappled by the gargoyle? Andy. It says that if you're, it says you can't be restrained, but it says if you are grappled, you can spend five-year-approved to just escape. I will, I will look at Shepard and say, yes, we are the monsters.

She shall fear and you shall fear. And then fire will ignite, just bursting the, the gargoyles hands around me. I'm going to step. basically no longer be grappled, and I'm just going to stand where I'm at. I'm going to stand where I'm at. I'm fine taking this guy. And I will pull out a ancient scroll from my robe, and I will say, Exa Fenter, you will help us one last time. I will throw the scroll into my lantern. It immediately ignites, and I radiate with fiery power, and I'll look at Shepard and all of my friends.

and I will say, you are all now vessels of the fire lord's fury. Garex has said, I will reign flame upon me with great judgment and furious anger, those who threaten to corrupt and devour my chosen. And you will know I am the fire lord when I bring my judgment upon you. And I will cast holy radiance, or holy aura. What does that do? You are all advantage on all saving throws. Oh, baby.

All attacks against you are disadvantaged. And any undead that attempts to attack, you must make a saving throw or be blinded. Oh, shit. Wow. Oh, my gosh, she's going to be pissed. And where is this radiance? It is on all of us.

It affects all of us. Is there a radius? There's a concentration? Yes, yes. Oh, boy. Holy shit. What it does again? So, advantage on all saving throws.

All creatures have disadvantage on attacks against you. And when an undead tries you attack, you flash with light and attacker must succeed a constitution saving throw on each attack or be blinded until the spell ends. Holy hell. It's a con-saving throw. Is that your turn?

Oh, and I will just lick out my lantern, a look of flame, and the fire prince will just appear. We'll say not next to her, and it'll just be behind us. Okay, she is going to use a legendary action. She's going to look out towards you. Do you think Ludmilla told me nothing? And she is going to cast a spell at you.

She is going to cast a cloud kill at a fifth level in the area where you are currently at. Shit, look at the cloud kill. It sounds scary. Am I still grappled by her? It's a 20-foot radius sphere, so it's going to be centered over Sarnax. There's the 20-foot radius sphere that's right there. A sphere of poisonous yellow and green fog.

In this case, it'll be red fog, centered on this point. And I need you all to make... Yeah. Yep. Yep. So it is there. Things will happen depending on... Your turn.

I don't have that affects grappled. Okay. If you're grappled, you can still attack, right? Yes. Yeah, good. You watch as she points her finger out, a cloud of red mist begins to billow in the middle of the room emanating from Sarnax.

Victoria, it is your turn, but it looks like you are in the zone. I need to make a Constitution saving throw, DC20. Can I use my reaction to do a mage slayer attack since she just cast a spell? Yeah. Oh, I rolled a 20. Oh, okay.

I don't have a advantage. You will take half as much. Okay. So that would be 20, I guess, either way. Oh, 29. No, it will hit. You will take half of 20, so 10 points of poison damage. That's it?

That's just for the cloud kill. I'm going to lean back and try to, like, slide my Nagy Nogunata up and attempt to find purchase somewhere, and I don't hit with a 20, trying to interrupt her spell with mage slayer and try to shrug her off. She smiles into her neck, her fangs still sinking deep into the veins. Do we make saves? Nope, it's at the start of your trip. Okay, got it.

So it doesn't go immediately. So I'll look between the gargoyles, kind of attacking Shepard and Sarnax, and look between her and Stradonian. Let her go. She's not the one that you want. I'm here. And I will step forward, but kind of unsure what to do. I'll take a few steps backwards. And then I will look at the two gargoyles attacking them and I'll kind of look between them and loud like the sound of glass will breaking. We'll show. Shatter across the room. And I'm going to cast the Shatter spell twinned behind each of the gargoyles. Nice.

Okay. All right. So painfully intense noise comes out. And each creature must make a constitution saving throw. A natural 20. Because if they're constructs, they're disadvantaged on shadow. Yeah.

Creature made of inorganic material, such as stone crystal or matter has disabinated dog saving. Okay. So the constitution what's the save? 19. They both failed. Okay. Um, and I need kind of T-D. Wait, do you need the twin it? Isn't it an AEOE spell? It's 10 feet though. Oh, God. They're too far apart.

God, oh, fair. What do they look like? I got the little spiky boys. I don't think you can twine AEO spells, can you? I think the spell has to only target one. Oh, yeah. It is single target. Yes. Yes, you can only twin a little target. But, oh, oh, no. Wait, it's a 10-point radius. So if you put, do it at the column, it should hit both of them, right?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah. It's a 10-foot radius. Which means it's 20 feet across. It's 20 feet across. So you can still hit the both. Yeah, you could still hit the- Oh, okay. And then you don't have to use your shot.

Well, then I will not to unspell it. You can say that. Thank you. Nine and nine is 18 is 26, uh, 26, whatever that is. Thunder damage. And then, um, as a bonus, this action, I will

and call up Bartholomew, my hell-hout. Hey. Fuck yeah. All right. You do that. Yeah, you both of allem you. He will take his action

to run towards Stradania and make a bite attack. Good pooch. Good booch. Good booch. Not that I think he was. Hick her.

He will not hit her. And that will be my turn. Breathing more. She is going to use two of her legendary actions, and she's going to look out towards you, Victoria. Her eyes are going to ignite in red as she stares into you. You claim that you are the one I want, but really, it is you who wants me.

I need you to roll a... I need you. to roll a saving throw. I need you make a wisdom saving throw, please. Add advantage. Oh, do you want to twist it? I want to twist it. Yeah, twist it.

Thank you, Chad. You can twist this. Oh, which dice do I use? This is so nerve. It's going to be totally fogged. Yeah. 16. That's still probably gonna not do well.

Do you immediately feel it overcome you? A shiver. As you realize, you do truly. want her and you are charmed by Stradonia. Oh, you're right. So you trust her as a friend. She needs to be heated and protected by force if needed.

You are not under her control, but you will take her requests in the most favorable way and you will allow her to bite you if she so chooses. Wow. You're right, Stradia. I do want you. Oh boy.

And it is Ravenloft, which is actually a lair action. So she is going to, as she looks out at you, She smiles. You can see the joy that this brings her to watch as Victoria almost unwillingly begins to look toward her with longing. Kana in her arms, bleeding, blood flowing from her neck. She looks up and she snaps her fingers. And you begin to watch as the room around you begins to tremble

as up out of the floors. Once again, you are met by the blood stage. ghosts of the Ravenmoor. These fuckers. My favorite fellows. I don't like that. Yeah, yeah. Please no.

Like wherever. They're going to go, they're going to spread around the room in an attempt to hit as many of you as possible. So my moral men's. Yeah, they suck. I do not like this. Nemesis. And let's see. I guess that's it.

One of, one cluster of them is going to to make their attacks on Clayton. Oh, okay. Is it a disadvantage for the error? Disadvantage, everything disadvantage, you know? Okay. And if they're undead, yeah, and if they're undead,

they need to make a con-saving thrower in the blinded. I don't know if they're ghosts. I'm sorry, Dian. I'm a clear. I mean, I called them ghosts. Okay, so I'm gonna stop rolling. So what do I need to do first? So you need to be constantly saving throws

from all of them. If they're un- Okay, and those are at normal? Yes. So the first one fails. Next one, what's the, what's the DC? I guess it doesn't really matter because it'll be disadvantaged anyway. So it blinding, it doesn't stop them from attacking.

They're just blinded. So like, yeah, so for all intents and purposes, there's disadvantage regardless. Yes, so let's not ignore that part. So I just roll it a disadvantage to hit. Okay, the first three are going to attempt to hit. That's going to miss. That's going to miss.

That's going to miss. Okay. Let's see. Another set of them is on Shepherd. Yep. That is going to miss. That is going to hit.

Ooh. And that is going to hit. Another one is on, looks like Kana. Yeah, basically. I'm in your Stradania's arms. You're not. It's not restrained.

Oh, because I'm not restrained. How much AC am I losing this time? A.22 just hits. Perfect. So two are going to hit Shepard and two are going to hit Kana. One else is new. This is for Shepard. My AC is three.

Fifteen points of necrotic damage and I need you to make a con saving throw. Okay. Last one was strength. You now have a negative AC. You healed the enemy when you're twisting it. All right. You're going to make two of them remember. You said just two?

Yeah, because I haven't done the damage for the second. Jesus, okay. The first one is in 12. Misses. So I'm gonna lose a C there. You are disadvantaged on saving throws for a minute. So you're right. So straight. You're straight. And then you are going to take 13 points of necrotic damage and another. 14. That fails as well.

But if you already failed, you can make the same again? No, you don't need to make the same again. No, you don't need to make the save again. Okay. And then for Kana. So my ACs now, fucking 16? No, no. It's...

You don't lose HB. It's just a disadvantage on saving throws for a minute. So there are different effects. Yeah. So all of the ghosts from each, like the horsemen, the brides, and Shredonia, they all had different effects on them. Got it. Got it.

And so Kana, you will do 16 necrotic damage, and I need you to make a Constitution saving throw. I think we're okay. 30. And then 21 points of necrotic damage. And make the saving throw again. 27. You are able to shrug off the withering effects of these ghosts as they barrel down on you,

piercing into your flesh as Stradonia holds you stiffly against her. And that is that turn. And remember next time those will be switched. Yeah, Clayton. I will... And Lucas. So... It's Shepherd.

Remember these are switched. Oh, okay, sorry. I was confused. Who are you? Seeing these two gargoyles bearing down on Sarnax and I, I'm going to quickly reach into a satchel that I keep at my, on my belt and throw what appears to be like ash over the two gargoyles and say, all right now, I'm sending you back to the Nodhels

and with the flick of my finger, light the ash on fire, and cast fifth level banishment on both of the... Hell yeah. That's awesome. Oh, that's A. No, but at fifth level, I get to choose an additional target. Holy! Holy! So it's a charisma saving throw at DC-18.

And they're not disadvantaged because they're not again. Correct. Yeah, it's just a saving throw. You're just, I think... They were disadvantaged last time because Shatter. Correct. You said the DC is 18? 18 charisma. Charisma.

Oh my God. They fail. They are gone for one minute. That's amazing. Is that concentration? Yes. Oh, okay. But yeah.

Well, now it's regular, I guess, but yeah. It's good. So if they're native to this plane, they're gone for a minute. I assume they're native to this plane. You watch as Shepherd reaches out his hand and yells this out towards Vasily and Boris. and you watch, she's in the blink of and I, both of them disappear from existence.

You may remove them from the border. Shepard, since when can you do that? It's in my infernal blood. Well done. Is that your turn? That's my hurdle turn, yeah. All right. She's out of their action.

Fire from holy or hell. So I'm still grappled by her, so I can only use my action to break the grapple if I want to. You could attempt to break the grapple. Okay. I will tend to break. I would use one twist on this. Just so you can get the fuck away.

It's a whole action too, right? Yeah, thank you, Chad. Shepard, I actually, who, did you stay in Cloud Kill? Oh, yeah, I got a role mine at the beginning of my turn. Yes, and Victoria, did you stay in Cloud kills. I can't see the board, so that's hard for me to tell. I did. I'm gonna move back.

So it's both beginning and end of week. If you stay in it, yes. Whoops. What was the D.C. I got a hole. 22. 22. 22, yeah.

No. What was... So both of you need to make Constitution saving for us. 18. Oh. Can I... That fails.

Oh, it fails. Holy shit. 23. Okay. You succeed, so you'll take half. You take the full amount. Cool. 31 points of poison damage.

Half if you succeeded. Got it. So I take 15 points of poison damage. And then I'm rolling again. Then you're rolling again because you're ending your turn. Yeah. I should save with a 30.

Oh, 23, so you'll take half. So my grapple break check was 21, so I failed because the DC is 22. The DC is 22. Okay. And then I will bonus action. Can I like chug a healing potion while I'm grappled? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can't move. Yeah, your speed is zero. That's the only thing.

And then I will do that as my turn. I'm gonna just feel up. She's all out of legendary, so it is the actual layer action this time. Shredania is going to use the mist of Borovia. She raises her free arm. She is going to call in from the open window that was blasted, the open entrance that was blasted by Vasilian Boris. As you watch as the mists begin to roll into the room,

shrouding the entire throne room in mist. It is lightly obscured. You are all vulnerable to necrotic damage. Any undead within the mist are resistant to radiant damage, and any light within the mist can be no brighter than dim unless created by a spell of fifth level or higher. And that is what is going to happen. Oh, fuck.

Yo boy. So you can determine how that works, but you watch as the mist rolls in. So I need you guys to remember your vulnerable to necrotic. Yeah. And that is for layer action. The blood-stained ghosts are going to make their attack. So the one behind Clayton is going to attempt to make three attacks on Clayton.

Are they disadvantaged anymore? Yes, yes, they're disadvantaged. All three are going to miss. There's one next to Sarnax that is going to make its attacks, and that is also going to miss. That one is going to hit, and that one is going to hit. So two on Sarnax are going to hit. And then the next one is behind the ghost that's next to Lucas.

Who is in front of that? Just Kana. And then the house. First one's going to miss. Second one's going to miss. Third one's going to hit. So one hit on Kana, two hits on Sarnax. Sarnax.

You were going to take 12 points of necrotic damage, and I need you to make a con saving throw. And then 22 points of necrotic damage and another con saving throw. throw if you're not already affected. Okay, con saving throw. I get a 20. That hits. Okay. So if it's over 20, it's fine. It's 30. 30. Yeah. So I pass both of those. I need to make a two con saving concentration. And yeah, I crush it. Okay. And then you're going to take 15 points of necrotic damage, Connor. Is that 30 because we're vulnerable now? Yes. Yes. Oh, and so yours were, you do double? Perfect. Thank you.

Thank you for keeping the DM on us. Of course. With that, it is Clayton's turn. So I will telepathily communicate to Lucas and he will sort of swirl his hands around and little arcane mocks will peer above his head as he uses his action to cast a crown of stars. And then he is going to whip one.

He's a bonus action to whip one of those down at Shradanya. So, make a range spell attack. So he's in melee range, so it will be disadvantaged. So pretty good. That is a

like 26 to hit. Yeah, that hits. And then we'll do 4D12 damage. Do we know where it may see? Not really. It's over 20. That's all we know. It's at least.

Oh, D12. There you. So it will do 9, 15, 20, 26 points of radiant damage. I think, Radiant. Yep. Well, she's resistant, Joe, in the middle school. And then what Clayton will do, I will pull out a drop of molasses, and I will shoot my hands out and cast the slow spell.

And she needs to make a... Actually, everybody in a, oh, six creatures. So I'm going to cast slow on her, and I guess there's two other ghosts. It doesn't matter. And it's a... You mean five of the ghosts. We're saving through. Save 19.

She passes. Ghost one is slowed. Ghost two is not. Ghost three is not. Ghost four. is not, Ghost 5 is. So Ghost 1 and 5 are slowed. Okay. Perfect.

So those are two of, so one behind you and then one in front of Kana. Got it. So I will use my Misty Step bonus action to blink back here behind the pillar. And I guess I need to make the con save for being inside the thing. Yes, please. So I will do that.

That is a what is a 19 that misses or that fails right's 22 points of poison damage okay and Lucas is going to stay there

he passes boat with like over 27 and then Lucas will take two at the start and the end of his turn exactly so when he take the same damage as well you want to do the same damage role for because Lucas is his own creature right but does he go on your turn

yes so then he would go at the start and of your turn as well. Okay, yes. So just take the same. So just have him do the same that you do. And that's my turn? Stradanya. Stradanya is going to look down at you, Kana.

And she is going to make three attacks. Okay. Two are going to hit. All right? And she's making all of them with her long sword. She needs a con saving her for each one, but. And it's basically three wisdom saving throws and each one where she's blinded.

Okay, and what is the DC? The DC is 19. Sorry. So she's gonna pass the first one. Complicated spells. She's going to miss the second one and she's gonna pass the third one. So she is now blinded and after the second one, she disadvantaged on all attack rolls again,

or she's blinded in all of those effects. So she hits the first one and then I need to roll at disadvantage to see if I can attack a safe. Sorry about that. Complicated eighth level spell. My fault. You know what? No, I'm going to do with this around.

So she will then hit two, but she misses one. Okay. Okay, we'll take it. And so you're going to take 20 slashing damage and seven necrotic damage, and then you are going to take 27 slashing damage, and eight necrotic damage. And you take double of the necrotic damage. And at that last piece of 16, I go limp in her arms. Perfect.

Wow, boy. And for her bonus action, she is going to... Hey. Holy shit. Come on. What time? Who's great? 16 minutes in 235 health.

She's only done anything to Conner. Yeah. And she's had the ghost. We knew that she told us this what happened. Okay. And then she is going to look out at you, Victoria, as you are staring back in her eyes. You're not in Maylee rain. So.

That wedding. Can we go back to it? Drive a dagger into my heart, he's like? She's going to look out at you. And as her bonus action, I'm going to rule that you would auto fail because you're charmed by her. But she, no, I'll let you roll it. wisdom saving throw. And am I still advantage for Mora?

Oh, yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Yay! Did you know your dice? Nine. And she is going to catch you with her begaling gaze as she stares deeply into you. Should she choose to attack you, she will be at advantage on all talks against you. Um. Well, Victoria, it's gonna be a short night.

Snap yourself out of it. How does what sucks? Have we had any damage to her? Uh, no. I have a fire shot you. No. Oh, God. My dog missed a bite.

And you watch that as she continues to drink up the, um, Kana's blood, um, the wounds that had appeared on her from Kana and, a little bit from Clayton, have completely healed. Sorry,

uh, I am going to, um, sorry, sorry, I was going to do something and then everything changed when, uh, the Shredanya attacked.

Um, Linda, Round two. Yeah, I am going to say, Fire Prince now! And he is going to jump into the middle of the two ghosts next to Kana, Victoria, and ourselves, and just

annihilate all of them. So he's going to teleport there, and he'll explode when he ends up here. That's a bonus action. Like, here's in the middle? In the middle, yeah. In between, so basically get rid of Those two ghosts. So these are just a lot. But get rid of those two ghosts.

Yes, those two. Okay. Sorry. And then they'll be directly in between. Why are you getting rid of those ghosts? Because they explode and they do an Awee damage and you take half. They're meaning one age way. Yes, they're the same ghosts as before with just a different event.

So then they, he explodes. And then, uh, love it. This is what happens when you have a DM at your table. They just start doing things and don't tell you why. And then, I will look at my friends and I will say, I will do my best to keep us alive.

You must kill her. I cannot waste my energy on fire. And I'm going to cast mass cure wounds at a sixth level. Holy-go. I will roll that very quickly. Let's go! Which is 48, which is actually 5B8.

My boy. Can I hit Lucas as well? Yep. You have really much damage. It is too. A 24 plus 5 is a 29 points of healings. To everyone, I'll take it. She is going to use a legendary action.

I'm gonna move out of Cloud Kill, just like out of here. You need to roll your thing. I'll take it. Is that out of it? What'd you say? Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, there was, we had a thing over it. I think it basically was like,

it's gonna go down in between the pillars. In the pillar. Got it. Comp saving throw at advantage. Oh, no, no, I failed, so it's regular. Some of a rollout again, I apologize. Natural fucking 20. Got to be a good.

Oh, exactly, right. That is matter. It's not a roll like shit. That's 12. So I'll take six. 29. 29. Not great.

And she's going to use her lair action to cast a spell. She is going to, look towards you Sarnax and everything that you are, and the radiance that you have conjured, and at a sixth level, she is going to cast to spell magic. Okay, she's on these are all.

And she's going to six. Okay. Holy aura is done. Victoria. Hopefully I'm prepared. Okay, so I'm going to roll my con for the start of my turn. With, come. God.

Am I still grappled by her? Yes. Or, okay. Yeah. 23 for the cons. For the mist. Yes, you succeed, so you will take half. Dispel magic.

That's a spell, and I'm up. So could I use my reaction from H-slayer or is it too late now? Hmm? Can I use my reaction from H-slayer or is it two right now? For what? So you could, I guess. Yeah. If that's all right, but you roll the attack, right?

Yeah. And it's not an advantage. Because the aura... The aura's gone. The aura, she's trying to do it now. So this would be before she would cancel the aura. So you're trying to stop the spell, correct? Okay, yes.

Well, you don't stop the spell. She just makes an attack when somebody casts a spell. Oh, yes. I thought it was a counter. So just roll normal. And you will take half of 16. But Holy Way doesn't affect attacks anyway. No, no.

All I was going to say was, whatever the spell is, if it requires concentration and you land the attack, then the concentration rolls at disdain. It's disadvantage. Oh, nice. Let's go. 27. Dispel magic doesn't require concentration.

But is she concentrating on the mist? She is concentrating on this. So she has to roll, because I'm about to hit her. She has to roll that concentration of this agreement. The cloud. For cloud kill. So she takes... You can heal yourself for that amount.

Cloud kills. I rolled a natural one. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. So she takes 13, 12 points of Naginada damage as I come to being healed by Garrick's and Sarnax and I'm gonna look up at her while I'm grappled and I'm gonna take my naginata and I'm just gonna up into her throat attempting to dispel fucking poison cloud

I'm just gonna go run friends run run you fools and with that it is victorious turn get away from how you haul and I'll run yes um So basically I want to use my action to, like, grab Kana and try to, like, rip her way and throw her to the floor. Okay. You'd have to use a strength contest. With my little bird arms. You got this? My little Victorian bird arms.

Am I against Strawn or against Kana? Technically, Kona, because... Oh, interesting. So, I think it would depend on... If you're resisting, then you automatically... If you allow it to happen, you automatically fail, but if she... She is trying to hold on. She doesn't want Victoria to do it to be against her dying.

But if you're trying to hold on to be against you, it's very interesting. Yeah. What an interesting thought. She'd let it. Shradani would let it happen. I would let it happen. I'm not in fine. Yeah, so I would just rip you away and throw you to the floor and basically just try to get as close to Stradania as I can.

Perfect. Like body ball. Wow. So you're not going to knock her prone. That's wonderful. Basically. I guess. Yeah.

Yeah. That's just wonderful. Yeah, that's great. I really like that. My athlete's feet. Yeah, yeah, no, that's really good. I can't see who my love. And then, so I would like some input on this.

My hound, when I call it, I target one person, and I don't have anything, I think, to change target, so I think he would continue to attack on his own, right? It is a hound of doom, so it basically keeps attacking until either the creature dies or it dies, I believe. Yeah, so it's not like I'm now charmed and don't want it to attack Stroud. The dog's doing something. Okay.

The dog wants to kill you a dog. It's its own thing. Okay, so he'll make a probably ill-fated attack, bite attack against Traton. He got three. Yeah, he can't roll above a four, so he did. He goes, whiff. I'm a bad dog.

Tridonia is going to use a legendary action. You watch as she looks towards you. Yeah. Do I do any saving third to get out of her? You can at the end of your turn. And do we, oh, at the end of our turn, can we also roll against the ghosts? Curse. Yes.

Because we can't do it the last time. I didn't either. What is it? It was a con saving throw and I failed. Sweatty. You're playing at the end of your time. A lot of pages. So one are rolling a-

Oh, you're right. Wisdom saving throw, I believe. Either way I feel. Yeah, so wisdom saving throw, DC 20. It was 15. DC was 15. Okay, then I'm good. Yeah.

Yes, the ghost are 15. Shredania is 20 for most things. I'm still charmed. Okay, perfect. We're also vulnerable. She's going to tour to an acrotic until the end of, uh, yes, until the next layer action. Um, yes.

Chardana is going to look towards you, Victoria. And you see as her eyes well up with joy, you are so beautiful when you obey. And she is slowly going to sink down into the floor. And pop up behind you, Sarnax. Oh, what the f? Oh, no. No!

Can you, uh... I will attempt to make her very carefully. Break her arm, I'll kill you. I will never... It's not her turn. Oh, that's a little bit of that. Yeah, no, that was... And so now it was...

That was Victoria's turn. It is Ravenloff's turn. Oh, thank God. So... Roll and do you too. Oh, yes. She pops up behind you, Sarnax. You can feel her icy, cold breath on, on your neck.

as shivers run through your body. And almost immediately as she emerges through the floor, the throne begins to shake. Oh, Jesus. The walls of Ravenloft pulsing with veins. The throne begins to swirl in bloody Eldrish magic, sending arching tendrils out from it. The tendrils lash out towards...

You, Connor. I need you to make a charisma saving throw. I'm not hiking at this. And this is regular now because I am no longer disadvantaged because of the curse, I've saved all the curse. Yes. And we lost what we were, so it's all straight against you. Oh, no.

Twist it, twist it, twist it. I'm going to get sucked into the throat. What's the worst? That you happen? Let it run. Flocker in. 12. The tendrils reach towards you slithering across the floor as they grab on and wrap around Kana's leg

and pull you into the throne itself. You are overwhelmed by horrific whispers as the will of Ravenloft possesses and overcomes you. You immediately regard your allies as murderous and you will stop at nothing to kill them. This effect lasts for a minute and you can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of your turns. You watch as the tendrils,

the tentacles wrap around Kana. Her eyes go and inky black as she begins to throb and pulse with the Eldridge magics that are pumping into her. You watch as her face falls, she looks between all of you with a murderous gaze. And that is Ravenloft, so Shepard. All right, time to bring the hellfire.

And with Stradanya behind Sarnax, I'm going to try to fire three shots into the back of her head. I love all these JC. Oh, no. The attacks in order are 26, 32, and 31. Oh, man. I've got to give it out.

One two. I never won't. No, no. Because these are possessed claps, but they're collapsed on the wall. It's been 12, 13, or 18, 19. Then move one. It's five, it's 24 plus 10, it's 34, plus plus eight times 30, is 24, which is 48.

Not great. 48 points of damage for three attacks. What were the roles that you got on her? It was 26, 32, and 31. The 31 misses. I'm sorry, what did you say the damage was? 48 total. Hold on. All right. You immediately pivot and turn towards where Stradania had reappeared as you let loose

three blasts from judgment and redemption, doing a significant amount of damage to the Countess. She lets out a slight moan as each blast hits into her. She seems unfazed. She's going to use her last legendary action this round, and she is going to grab on, she's going to attempt to grab onto you Sarnax. Yo, motherfuckers need garricks. 20, yeah, 24 hits. So she hits. May I use one of my blind,

attempt to blind. Sure, but I rolled the same thing. So she's going to attempt to grapple you. I don't care for it. And, yeah, she easily grapples you and pulls you tight to her. Oh. You wouldn't let me have your little samurai.

So I will have your men. of the cloth instead. His holy blood will taste delicious. The armor of my God protects me, woman. Should I say divine? Okay, that's that. Uh, Connor. Oh, no. Um, um, so my nearest, uh, my nearest, I guess, enemy is Victoria. And the dog. Or the dog. The dog. Or the giant. Or the giant? Or the giant? Should I, should I, role to see who I would hit? Sure. I mean, whatever you would.

What would Kana do? What would Kana do? If she says they're all murder, if you are all murders towards you, right? You think that all of your allies are murderous to you. And there's a giant butler in the room. Which is probably fucking terrifying. But hey, and there's also a horrible

slavering beast monster as well. And then there's poor bird-like Victoria. Yes, poor. With your spittling, neutralized. Make a protection check in me. I think evil cell preservation kind of probably wouldn't go for the giant, so I will decide between the dog or worker.

So a dog is even. So Victoria's odd. I did just throw you to the ground. Yeah, that makes the most sense. How dare you come between me. My fate. I'm going to roll an attacker four times. Oh, oh no.

Oh yeah. Just roll poorly. Okay. You do not get to twist. Natural one. Natural one. Okay. Okay. That's good. Natural one. Okay. Whiff. I'm 20. A crushing. Why? Wow. It's funny.

Uh, Jesus. I hope a 16 doesn't take it. It does! Oh my God, no blood! Dude. No, with major armor is in 18. There's fucking blood everywhere. No, her deck is 1 plus 2. Dear God, I ain't E squish, squish, squish.

It's 16. 13-patch 2. That's 3 hits. I'm sorry. You have to roll a natural one to not hit her. Dear God. These are D-10s, right?

You, how many times you did it? Three. Roll three saving throws for me, please. Wisdom saving throw. We're advantage on those. No, not anymore. Oh, wisdom. Yes, E.C. 20.

Oh, thank God. Oh, wait. What do I have? These three. Wisdom. got a 10 in 18 and in 20. An advantage. Oh, I'm sorry, at advantage.

I can keep the 20. With a 20, every time you take the damage, you feel your connection, this charm to Stradania slowly start to fade. But she is your love. She's everything you wanted until that final hit. And as you stare into Conna's bloodthirsty eyes, your senses come back to you. What are you doing?

These are your friends. You are no longer charmed. Yay. a huge person. That's all you fucking care. So that's 10, 12 plus. Annie wants a TDP.

27. 27 damage. Points of slashing. What are you doing? Snap out of it. Doing what is right. And, uh, yes, that's 47. Bonus action.

I, like when I, eat the saving throw at the end of your turn against the, against the throne. But before my turn ends, I'm at 29 hit points. Like, would evil kind of self-preserve? I would say, no, you are on a murderous rampage. Your goal is death. The murderous rampage, okay, so I will not second win, and I will try to repeat the saving

throw. This is charisma. Yep. Oh, wow. Do you twist, I don't. I would, I would, I would, so you need to get a 19 to pass. Yeah. So you need a roll an 18. We have the DC-19 or do it? You don't know what the D.C. is what you said. A lot of it was 20.

I'm telling you. I'm not. We don't know that. Oh, what this is? This is Ravenlox itself. Let's use one twist. We use one twist. What did you get? Oh, I got a seven. Oh, okay. Well.

Are you sure a Raven lot of seven? How does it work? Ladies and gentlemen and everyone watch it. It's a different time. Boom. I'll just roll. Stop! Yelling. Victoria. As Kana slices into you one time, two times,

on the third time, you feel yourself coming back, you reach out, you slap her off the face. Kana, get a hold of yourself. Kana, as the impact hits, you feel yourself shrug off the effects of Ravenloft, the pulsing veins within the walls no longer retaining your hold on you as the tendrils slither out from your body

and you are once again yourself. Are you all right? I don't know what happened. Oh God, I feel like crap. That wookie woman. That wicked woman. Where's the wookie? If Derek was here, he would have done a wookie girl.

He probably is doing one at home. Give us a text, wookie. I don't know to get something I don't do. Yes. Whose turn was that? Can I like the reaction just like collapsed and hug Victoria and just like quietly weep in her shoulder first? I'll hug her back.

six seconds. That's my turn. I'll get that annoying backpack that nobody likes. Shredanya will look out at all of you. So the layer actions happened. You watch as the mists of Borovia

begin to fade from the room, you were no longer under the effects of the mist. But as the darkness still looms over the room, you watch as she, with her one extended hand, she reaches out and she begins to make your shadows dance beneath your feet.

As she channels the shadowy betrayal, I need all of you to make a strength saving throw as your shadows attempt to constrict. Stradania's making us do this? It is a layer action, it's a spell. No, no, no, I mean, but is it, is it calls for Stradani? Because I get an extra D6. Yes, it is caused. If it's Strahani's making me make a saving throw. Well, it's your shadows, but I will say that it's fine.

It's her magic. So, yes. I will never have any of this ever. 19. 18. 14. I fail, whatever it is. 26.

Sorry, 22. Shepard, you watch as the shadows begin to writhe around your feet as you are able to kick them away and disperse them. What the rest of your friends feel your shadows wrap their arms around you. You are grappled and restrained for a minute. You can attempt to escape at the end of your, you can attempt to escape as an action.

And fire burst. surround me banishing my shadow. Oh, I hate this. Thank you, Shepherd. Thank you. I don't know what the fuck that was. Oh, so Sir Tani couldn't even grapple you. No, but he has to use-

I had to use a movement. Like five years ago. I have to get out. I have to go concentration. No, they're not. Freedom of movement is not. That's amazing. It's like Morty and Bond as well.

The ghost, the ghost is going to move. It's going to move around the pillar, and it's, there are three of them left, I believe. Where's it going? Towards you, Clayton. There's no wizard back here. Behind this. I don't remember, there's no wizard.

Go away, spooky ghosts. Two of them are going to make their attacks. So, I need you to make Constitution Saving Throne. Wait, wait, meaning that they hit? Because all you shield. And my AC is like a giz. Yeah, okay, so they'll miss. Oh.

The gazillion. Nice fly. All right. Right, it is now Clayton's turn. Me. Okay. Also, Lucas gets up! And then Lucas is going to stomp on over here.

Right away, so. Burr! And then magically in his hands, he's going to summon a silver tray with a teapot on it. And you take the teapot off and then smash both down on this Redonia. Oh, fuck yeah. Let's go. Poor hot water on her.

Attack rolls. Get it, the first one is 27, and the second one is fucking moon. Get it, Lucas. Not as good. That is an 18 to hit.

It misses. Okay. So the first hit was that. So it does 66 plus 7. One, two, three, four, five, six. Yeah, 16. Still, wow.

10. Do you have a deed? 10.20. 26. Ride away, sir. 33 points of bludgeoning damage. And it must succeed to DC21 strength, saving through

will be knocked through. Oh, wow. Would you like me to tidy up her goal? You said a strength? Strength. 21. Holy shit. Oh, she falls. Wow. Not expecting this as Lucas Russ. No, she can't be, sorry.

I'm thinking she's Stradonia, she can't be knocked from. He's gonna say, go look, and knock the fuck in. Then he's going to bonus action. Oh, did you get, do you have the damage? Yeah, I took the damage. Okay. And then he's going to bonus action.

Send a moot at her. Oh, the stars. Yes, which is disadvantaged because he's a melee range. She'd done that first. Yeah, I didn't, well, yeah, didn't. I mean, look, we're all messing up. I've got like eight pages of crap in front. 18 to hit?

Crave. Oh, missus. Damn it. Okay. So then I want to say, Lucas, I don't need a ball where you have him for a second. Malum maxima, and I'm going to cast arcane hand, and one of his hands will basically detach and punch him. So much fun, please. I can't wait to play feelings again.

Oh, no. 20 misses. Wow. By the goves. So can you put, or go one of you just put an arcane hand just anywhere near next to her. Lucas's hand. We're like right here. Yeah, man.

Grabbing her from the back. Oh, so he is missing his hand. That is so fucking all this. Okay. And that is my turn. Shetaniel. Oh, sorry, sorry. And then I'm grappled.

But if I misty step away, do I just misty step out of the shadows? Telepording. Your shadows attached to you, so no. You can misty step away and made a different place, but your shadow's still grappling you. Okay, yeah. You have to use your action to try and-

I'm going to Misty Step one, one, two, three, four, I'll be sitting up here next to my old buddy, uh, and that will be my turn. All right. It is Stradanya's turn. You watch as some of her wounds begin to heal. Um, she is going to, she also don't know.

She is going to make two of her sword attacks against you, Sarnax. Oh. Oh. And both are going to hit. So when are we long with that? No more necro. No. I think everything's clear.

Oh, should have said that. For the move. We're still grappled by our shots. I'm not going to go down here, probably. 33 points of slashing damage for the first hit. Oh, that's nice. 14 points of necrotic damage. The second hit is going to be

a 33 points of slashing. damage and 14 points of necrotic damage. As she slides her blade into twice. In the back, right? Yes, in the back. This is so familiar. I look very weak. Oh, dear.

She is then going to, is there besides you, is there anyone within five? Yes, Lucas's hand and Lucas. Oh, she didn't care about that. I need you to make a Constitution saving throw for me. Me? Yes. I am not advantage on this. Ooh, it's pretty fucking good though.

We should twist it, whatever it is. It's a 26. Now he's good. That succeeds. And you do not take, oh. Hold on. Yeah, you do not take the additional damage. You don't take the additional damage if you saved. So you are, you watch as she holds up her chalice.

You feel the blood inside your body begin to boil and rumble inside of your chest, but you steal yourself against her magics and it is unable to take hold. I told you the armor of my god. She is going to use her bonus action, however. You are, you are grappled by her. I am grappled because I'm not using my movement

to break free-free. Oh, that's great. This is it, ladies and gentlemen, everyone watching. and queen. 16 points of piercing damage. And I'm out. And. Oh, I need to see how much my... Because it'll be heard of that. Yeah.

And eight points of necrotic damage. So I still have eight. Wait. 16 and eight? That's still enough. 24. That's exactly. One overkill. As she sinks her fangs into me and I'm like... You watch as Stradonia pierces once

and then twice into Sarnax's back. a horrific mirror to their altercation inside of the Amber Temple, seeing that it doesn't do quite the right amount of damage. She needs to take his life. She bends down and she sinks her fangs into his neck. And you watch as Sarnax's chest moves up and down as the blood pumps from his body deep into her throat, healing her for a bit of it, actually.

So. All right. And you watch as his eyes roll back into his head, his body goes limp in her arms. Just as quickly as this happens, you watch as she begins to spit and wretch the blood, not red, but black, as you hear the flapping of raven's wings,

right as you're on the precipice of death. You feel yourself come to with one hit point. And now none of you have the boon of the ravens. There's more than one. God here, Countess. And it's my turn. How's everybody? How's everybody?

That was her. Yeah, three actions. I don't want to tell you. Probably better than you, but I think y'all know. I'm with a room. What? I'm looking very good. Thanks.

I am going to look at, I got you. I'm going to be very, very weak. and I'm going to reach out my hand, and she's still grappling me. Flame Prince, save me. And he's going to fly over and, poof, teleport me. 30 feet away.

I'm just gonna basically go back to 30 feet away from where Sarnaxons. Back this way? Yeah, back that way. Behind, actually behind Lucas, behind Lucas. Two, three, four, five, six right here. Yeah, so he goes here.

Put them there and then put the fire prince next to me. and that is my bonus action, and I am going to... Nikki, I move myself back because I couldn't have missed these steps because he's my bonus action for the archaer. Okay, thank you. I'm going to say,

Raven Queen, Morning Lord, Garex, all of the gods, please see us through this, and I will, light will once again radiate, and I'm going to cast another mass cure wounds on everyone, so I will roll that while,

I would do that. Okay, she is going, why don't you roll that because that determines her legendary actions, which she just got back at the end of her turn. Come on, come on, come on, please roll hot. I really can't roll like two, five, ten, 18, actually not terrible, 18, 24, 29, and then 30. 34 points of healing to everyone. Thank you, Sonax. Yeah.

As an out. And that is my . How much was it? 34 points of healing to everyone. Okay, that's pretty huge. That is. She is going to use a legendary action. Make sure.

And she is going to... That's a message. Yeah, I did. She's going to make another attack on science. I'm she's I teleported away from her. Oh, you did? Yeah. Okay, so she's going to use her legendary action. She's going to use two legendary actions then. I need you to make a wisdom saving throw. Me? Yes. Oh, I're advantaged. Yep. You're a feast. Oh, can I? Oh, actually, hold long. Is it 20 enough? It is not. Can I put it? Yes. I want to twist it. Whatever this is. Now, I'm natural fucking 20. Got to get up. That'll be 31.

Got to be a 31. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much, Chad, for the quest. Shredonia looks towards you. Her eyes narrow. You feel a shift in yourself. As you see with one hand,

she begins to flick what appears to be a small filigreed mirror. And for a moment, you feel as if you are moving, but you steal yourself and you are able to hold your position where you stand. That is her legendary. Victoria. Oh, right. Lucas is what?

Can I see through him? What am I seeing here? You can see through him. He's sort of like a big guy, but he's kind of shifting with arcade magic. He still made a magic. Like, I guess how does he act as far as cover or? So for all intents and purposes,

he used shape change into a gigantic cyclops staff. So he's still a creature. He still takes up space. He's still physical. Because he is a simulac. He's just very clearly. Yeah, like, could I,

could I shoot something between his legs? Or like... It's up to Nikki. Yeah. Yeah. He's tall enough. Okay. He's a big fucker.

He is a big fuck. He looks at the duck. Yeah, he's big. Um, so I will turn and look at Stradania. It's a land. All this hatred you feel. We can take you away from this. Um, and I will pull from my pockets of my dress.

a spell scroll and tear it in half and cast finger of death. Oh, let's fucking go! Let's get some of that. So you'll see the scroll start to swirl with black energy and it will radiate out towards her like a dagger almost. So negative energy will course through her and you miss make a Constitution saving throw. Natural 20.

Oh, man. Yeah, she's gonna pass. Yeah, okay, so it is 7d8. I need one more V8, and should take half of them. Okay. Yes. Diff finger. Jeff finger.

Yeah, he's with Derek Fingham. DeFinger. The finger. I think he's with Derek. No, I know. Oh. So half of 45 necrotic damage. So 22.

22. And it's necrotic, you say? Yes. It's above. That's above. So I will cast that out and then as a bonus action, you'll see my own shadow wrapped around me, grappling me, and then my body will start to fade into that shadow and I'll enter my humble form. Oh, go! Oh, fucking form!

Let's go! I imagine they're just like, like, like a fucking ring race and their actual shadow form and when you wear the ring. And, okay. I cannot. So grapple and restraint makes my movement zero. So even though I can move through creatures, I have no movement. Correct. Correct. Okay. Um. Well, depends. Unless you can move through if you can move through you. If you can't move to the thing is grappling, if it counts as a creature, but it depends on the nature of the best. I mean, it's all known that your speed becomes zero as a result of both of those conditions that that to me says I can't. Yeah, I don't think you can't

correct. So I will stay where I am. Um, and then how do you, boy will move as far as he can towards her. Could he make it 60 feet towards her? Oh yeah, absolutely. I'm sorry, 50 feet. He would just thunders. Yeah. Boom, boom, boom, bo boom, woof-wuff.

I can't do. Get him in there. Yeah, he'll again make it ill-fated. Right there, yeah. White attack. I mean, he is a hound of ill omen, so I mean, it's an ill omen for him. He didn't realize that.

Yeah. Oh, man. Why'd you summon me, bitch? The bell tolls for me. A four, again, he literally does not roll higher. It's not my dice, it's the dog. Uh-oh, now Ravenloff gets to go. So nothing happens.

He wuffs at her menacing thing. Yippee. It's lover's one or a little bit. Um, she is now, well, wait. Uh, yeah, so Ravenloff. Saving through for the shadows? Oh, yes, for shadows. Yes, at the end.

Um, what is, uh, strength. Strength. This is strength saving, so. Whoops. It's, it's a natural one. I am still restraint. Well. Thank you, though, for her. Your dog.

Your dog, to bite in on Shardonyam but is not able to find purchase on her as the windows in Ravenloft undulate with the throbbing of the veins inside of the walls as you watch as the windows themselves shatter all of the

stained glass windows around the throne room reflect horrific blinding colors as they erupt and fill the room with a color almost out of space. I need you all the role of Constitution saving for. Come on. I'm advantaged on this.

Oh, my God. Big money. Oh, fuck, yes. I got 26. 27. 28. 29. What did Lucas get?

Oh. Fucking Lucas. He is plus 13. Nice. So 28. You somehow, through sheer luck, are unable to look to look away. from the almost enchanting colors,

and you forego the blindness. Oh, wow. You're chatting in the light, Shepard. You see it. Called him that, he did. I'm going to make three more attacks on Shurban. Sheppar's back here for chat. We just can't get her again.

No, it's fine. I'm just trying to stay the flack away from her. Pretty good. That's going to be a... Anything that misses we should twist. 35. That hits. This one.

Oh, my niece, 23? That hit. And then the last one's another like 28. So her ACs from 21 to 23. Yeah. 21 to 22 or three. We had it. It still has.

So it'll be not rolling very well here. Yes, either 21, 22, or 23. Correct. Not we're gaming it or anything. No, we're not that we're gaming it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, almost max.

12 plus 5 is 17. Oh, fuck, I forgot. to stop rolling. My G6s are good though. I gotta stick with six. Oh, baby. That's all the one. That's another 10, so that's a 16,

26, 50 points of damage over three attacks. That's amazing. You let loose blast after blast after blast. They sink into her body. You're finding the weak places in her armor, any area of exposed flesh. And just as the last hit land, she's going to use her last legendary

action and you watch as she sinks down into the floor, pops up behind you, and is going to land a sword attack. Oh, no. Oh, shit. That is going to hit. She is the master's. Oh, well, I'm going to roll for concentration. Oh, no.

Oh, the gargoyles are dead. They're coming back. Yep. Oh, no. Oh, boy. Oh, gee. Oh, gee. Oh, gee.

Oh, jeep. Oh, wow. 29 points of damage. So I have to get higher than a 14? Hard that? 14 twist. 29 points of damage, you said? Yes.

That had a lot of damage. I'm sweating. It is mixed up between 22 flashing and seven necrotic. I got a 21. Hey. So I maintain conversation. So no, Vasily and Boris are still in the pocket dimension. And it's been two rounds.

It's keeping track. Yeah, I'm writing it down. They've been sucked to hell. They've been sucked to hell. It's sucked to hell. Happy birthday, Sam. Thank you for your next chat. That was Shepard's turn.

Yes. So yes, as you let loose those blasts, she sunk into the floor, transported through the stones of Ravenloft appearing behind you and piercing into you with her blade. That was her last legendary action and it's a layer action.

So she is going to you watch as the walls begin to the walls begin to shift and shake as bloody mirrors begin to fill the room I need all of you to make a wisdom saving throw please we're good at that oh thank God oh that's where I'm the Viking as a wise man once said

we're abandoned from with them yeah we're a baby man oh baby 90s only let's go you know what I'm gonna let it ride I got a fuckload. I got like 20-something. I got a 14-8. You should probably twist.

I will give up. No, you know what? You know what? It's a layer action. Let it happen. I'm gonna let it happen. Oh, geez. So who else failed?

What's the DC? What is it? The DC's 20. Okay. I'm good. I'm good as well. We failed. Fabulous.

Yay. Yes. So, yes. I'll die then. Guess we'll die. Is the, You felt something similar to this before in the shifting mirrors at Stradania's hip,

but this time you're unable to steal yourself against it. As the mirrors begin to twist and turn, warping the room around you, you are now teleported directly next to Shepard, in front of Shredonia. What? Come on to hell! Where are you at, Kahn?

I'm next to, sorry next. I'm next to Victoria. You are teleported to the very corner of the room at the very back next to where, Richie sets. Oh my gosh. Kada. Oh, no, Victoria. So Kama is there.

Top right. And there's your line. They're all over the place, y'all. Great. The bloodstained ghost is going to move in and make its attacks on Clay. I don't really care about. But he already has way too much help. Fuck that guy. One is going to hit.

Chee! Chew! Okay, but what is your... 216. 26, right? Last time it's been 20s. Of course, we have Clayton Shield AC Memoran. We haven't memorized. We've been fighting.

I get exactly 26, 19 plus 7. Right. Wait, it's disadvantaged, because I have foresight. I'm sorry. Ooh. The Jewish model. The kids go into their thing, and they pull a card and they say, wrecked, and they pulls out cards as no,

you. On the bloody goose. Clayton. Seeing all these ghosts, I'm not too concerned about you. Lucas, get her. Lucas is going to turn. Yes, Lucas. And when I'm not going to kill in the process.

He is going to pull down an arcane moat and shoot it at Stradania. Okay. For a 23 to hit. Yeah, that hits. Okay. And then that was. We'll do 412. Feefe, Fof, Fum, I smell of blood of a vampire woman.

That's pretty damn good. Right away, sir. You're cool. 22, 33, 34 points of radiant damage. Nice. Please be careful with my hands. So 34? Oh, my hands.

33. Right? Sorry. No, no, 34. 34. You're right. Sorry. I'm using a pen.

I'm just really busy head canoning Lucas right now. Just like a headcan in Jentecchi. I'm sorry to all the players. So one, two. So he can only go 40 feet. So I think I'm going to leave him right there. So he doesn't even too far. And then in his one hand that still was existing,

he's going to materialize a teacup. And he's going to chuck to that stradaya. Yes. And it's going to shatter on her. And I will make a ring. Well, you'll attempt to shatter. Attack. Yeah, I will attempt.

You can certainly try. That's gonna miss with, or presumably, with the 19, that's horribly misses. We know that, it could be the case for it. And that is his term. It hits Shepard Insta. Yeah! Oh, yeah!

And then, uh, Fracton in Florence. Um, oh, it's more of a coffee man. Yeah. Uh, sorry, when we pull up. Can we know Arcane hands, Lurovia, but. No, it's like 25 or 30.

Or no, 60 feet. Oh, shit. Holy shit. Holy gas it wants. So basically I'm going to take my hand and I'm going to move it over and I'm going to send it 60 feet right towards Giordania.

Oh, punch her. And basically it's going to be a fist and it's going to come in, it's going to hit her in the side. Combo. And we'll see if it hits. I'm advantaged on that because that is my attack.

My what? My attack. That is a 25. We don't even said, I need to get my keys. Oh, me. Ha-ha! I never gets old.

Does a 25 hit? Binky's what? A 23 hit, so a 25 is going to have. Okay, so 48. It's between 28. Oh wow, that's almost minimum damage. I'll do it. So that's seven forced damage from Lucas.

That is just rough. Yep. And then it would have been better attached to me, so. I love this. I love this. I'm sorry, I'm done. I'm done. Then for my action, I will after dinner mint, Trinadanya.

Let's try this again, and I'm gonna pull out some molasses and cast slow. All right. So she needs to make a- What? I'm trying. The first three hours, it's a Wiz saving throw. She's gonna use legendary resistance. Hey!

That's what we liked to see. That was my friend! I am a god. I am a god. You serve a god. True. And that's my true. Because I'm restrained by shadows still.

Retrained by shadows still? You repeat at the end of your turn. Oh, strength. No, because that was the layer action, so the shadowy betrayal is gone as the reflections came up. Yes. I'm just going to shimmy. I'm not going to leave the ghost range,

but I'm going to get a little closer. I don't know if you're going to be five feet from them. Oh, you're right. So I'm just going to kind of get in the center of the near. They have the same though. Just the case. So that is me.

Perfect. Stradanya is going to turn her head and look towards you, Sarnax. Oh, she always does. I wanted you to be close when I did this. And she's going to turn her blade towards Shepard. Oh, no. She's going to make two attacks on Shepard and one unarmed strike. Natural 20. I would like to use my last.

thing as I stand there and I'll say, no, Shepard! And I will use the last of my blinding thing to make a disadvantage. Still gonna hit, but it is not natural 20. So both of her long swords hit. Her unarmed strike also hits. And she's gonna use her unarmed strike to grapple. Oh no. Yeah, I'm gonna have a roll a few times.

Because for each individual hit, right? Oh, yeah, man. So for the unarmed strike, It is 16 points of slashing damage. It's still 10. Just do it. Oh, no, no, no. The honored strike, she's for going the damage. Sorry, take that away. Okay. Because she's grappling you.

All right. So I don't know why I rolled these. Any of D-10? I didn't know. She was taunting. Yes. She wanted you to see a she damaged shepherd. Oh, that's what I'm so. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're welcome. I'm done with my wording flares. Uh, 21 points of slashing damage.

damage and eight necrotic damage for the first long sword. And then... As long as it's got 22. 26 points of slashing damage for the second long sword attack. That follows with 14 points of necrotic damage. I rolled well. So is that all together? Like, so the second one is 26 plus 14.

That's 40. Yeah. So I have to get up on the second one. I can do it. I can do it. Okay. First one's a 30. 13.

And it's concentration, which I have plus 3. I can do this. That was the natural 20. Yay! So not for the 20. That's the downside. So that first one's going to be good for the 13. Now I have to get above the 20.

Okay. Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on. That's 17. I meet or beat it. Yep. I roll a natural. I rolled a total of a 20 for my second concentration. She stabs into you, stabs into you.

But your concentration will not drop. You are a monster slayer. This is what you do. And you are trained on your, and your eyes are trained on your prey. She is then going to use her bonus action to bite you. This podcast is brought to you by our Patreon. Become a patron today at patreon.com slash legends of Evantris.

It's fucking dumb. What level depends. It will determine. Anyway, I'm going, yeah, I'm going to just do that at a fifth level. Sorry, it's really bad at this. You got nails on. It's one. What's those nails. Oh, and final, God, all my D-8s always roll one. Two, eight.

What about the Argonautil's thing? 15. Yeah, no, I'm adding that now. 15. I look that up. Thank you, Z. 15, 20. You guys, remind us.

Keep his arm. 23, 27. 20, 37, 32. 32, 32 points of healing. And I forgot for my bonus action. I'm finally going to say, Fireprints, you can still aid us. he starts blinking around healing people.

So right now, I'll do the beginning in the end of my turn. He's gonna heal a random ally at each time. This moves out, all of my allies are to death of detain. He gets healed at that time. Oh boy. Oh, boy.

This is going to heal. Oh my God, it actually heals Shepherd. Yes! It actually heals Shepherd for a- Thank you, Gary. I was like to read the deal. That one's from the big. 14 points of healing.

Bingo. And then this one is going to heal, it heal Shepherd again. For, my faith is with Garrick's today. Oh, wow. 16 points of healing. 16 points of healing. What is?

He blinks and then goes back to where he is. You feel this fiery dragon that is just purely made of flame. It's a pure elemental. Just burst and you feel your wounds start to cauterize and singe as Locke Garrick's, not luck. Garrick's is watching over a Shepherd. We will win. That's my turn.

She is going to use a legendary action and you are going to, she is going to. Oh shit, I'm going to be here, I'm so sorry. Zoot through the floor and appear behind Shepherd. If she's not already there, I can't remember. She's in front of Shepherd right now. She is going to be behind him.

And she is going to make an attack on Shepherd. Here comes the Shepherd, exact. And that is going to hit. Oh, I'm sorry, I was helping Mike. She hit you. Okay. Let this word attack. Okay.

25 points of slashing damage. Just 13. Four. And 14 points of necrotic damage. Nine. Okay, I need to 19. We got this. We got this.

Nail it. 22. Okay. Okay. That is legendary. Sir Nets. No, no. Victoria.

I'm rolling like hot fire on my saves. Yes. I am going to turn and start walking very deliberately towards her. So 30 as far as I can go. But as I'm walking, I start to... And in my pocket, I'm going to tear a piece of paper, scroll that's stated in there. And my eyes will turn black and start to cry black down my face. as I cast eye bite at you with heightened,

so you will have disadvantage on your first dayday. Oh, my. Holy shit. Come on, come on, come on. I'm going to use a legendaire. Yes! Two and one, baby, two and one fucking around. God damn!

Huge money. Money, money, money. Okay. So do you... Thank you. I resisted. So you resist it. Yes.

Then... I am so full, but it's still up so you could move it to other things. Yes. Not to scrap yet. Yeah. It's always if I want to do anything with my. Yeah. It's something that you like cast and it stays in the air and you can move it to multiple things.

It's like a big piece of bottle. It's so cool. It's fucking hag magic. It's the best. I love that. Do you feel? Do you need a little favorite spell? Are you not using it?

No, you don't need it. It's a spell. It's not like physical thing. Oh, it doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah, I can't use my bonus action. It's kind of like me. Then you find out she has 12 more legendary.

Seriously. I'm waiting for the day that one of our DMs is like, what do you mean? I just got more than three. Like I won't be surprised. I think he might have some with more than three, haven't you? Nope. I don't think so yet, but I'm waiting for the day.

And today might be that day. Today might be that day. No. I will not be surprised at all. That will be the end of my term. Do I have any roles to make? I guess I don't. No.

Okay. Does she take half a damage or no? Who? No, it's a CC. It's a CC type thing. And then my... It's kind of socialized all fire giants.

It's not. 15.20 is 20. It's 20. It's control. 50. Just make it to Estredania. And again, impotently bite it right.

A lot of. Poochie, you can do it. Come on, just one. Big money. 21? That hit. Ah! Oh, I know.

I know. I know. I know. I got to get it up for Barth. Good boy. Got to get it up for Barth. Wait a dog. I forgot what we're clapping for this week.

Sam Raymond's birthday. Oh, that's right. Happy birthday soon. Okay. We know he's in chat. He's a lurker. Born-time fan. Yeah, big fan.

Thirpian piercing damage. And I know she cannot be knocked to Perlans. And it's magical piercing. Because he's a shadowy hand. That's awesome. Thank you, Barthal. The Shadongia lets out a very weak yelp, not expecting Bartholing you to run over

and nip into her ankle. She kicks the hound away. Her eyes train it to you. Once again, I need you to make a wisdom saving throw. But, hurts. 18. I'm gonna do it.

My darling, Victoria, why would you ever send your weak foochie to attack me? I thought I was the love of your life. And you watch as her eyes shift, and once again you feel overcome. and you are under the effect of Trump. What is that?

It's the one that happened to you originally where you appreciate her, you love her, she's the greatest thing ever, and if someone attacks her, you will be upset with them, and she'll let you bite them. You're friendly with her.

Does I do anything to me currently now? Concentration? No. Okay. I would just, you wouldn't be inclined to use eye bite towards her, but you would be inclined to use eye bite towards someone

that would attack her. Oh, fuck. Oh, no. Like a weird. Magic men. No. Or maybe a particular gun, William T.

When he's about to blow her away. She turned out. She's got to trash. Oh. And, yes, so that is a legendary action. That's number two. No, that's number. Yeah, not that's number two.

So it is then Ravenloff's turns. Con is still in the court. You guys are so far as the dumps corner. Let's see, let's shoot the comic here. As the fight progresses, the veins and tendrils shooting through the walls of Ravenloft get larger and more active.

As all of a sudden, a loud chord is struck on the piano in the corner, the grand piano of the throne room starts to erupt in a maddening Eldritch melody. I need you all to roll wisdom. Oh, thank God.

Oh, thank God. Will Fee? Oh, hell yeah. Oh, killed it. 25. 19. 32. I'm gonna stick with 19.

Uh, 20 for Clayton. Uh, killed it with Lucas. The sound of the piano is striking these Eldrick's chords, music that is so unearthly outside this realm of existence is almost hard to concentrate and focus on the sound, but you all do. And you shrug off. And you shrug off the effects. Oh. Yeah. The piano.

Thank you, Garrix. Shippen. You're right, Sarnax. I can feel. Garrix, he's here with us. Yes. Yes. And I'm going to make two attacks on Stradania.

Ooh. When did that be? 28, 29. That's it. Yeah. You know where he's he's 21. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

12. 13. 14. 15. 15. 17. 27, 27 plus, no, plus 16 is 43. 43 points of damage and two attacks. 43?

43, yeah, that was a big one. Yes, and then I am gonna use my bonus action to quaff a potion of supreme healing. Oh, yeah, that's the big in, right? Yes, and that is gonna be my terms. So I'm not gonna move because I don't want her to stab me. Oh, okay. So I'm gonna roll my health.

It's gonna take you all, so. But yeah, that's my turn. She is going to use her last legendary action and she's going to turn towards you, Sarnax. Let me make sure actually might. Nope, never mind, she can't, because charm was two. So that was her last legendary action. Nope, she's good.

Okay. Connor. Um, scorn her. Um, kinda can't come in the corner. Give her a big round of applause. Gotta give it up. She's in the corner, but she's down, but she's not out. You gotta admire her warrior's spirit.

I have the one. I'm gonna pat myself down and make sure that I'm... You fall to one hip. You take psychic damage and fall in one hip. Strad win. Strad win. I thought you might. I don't move you.

Our next giveaway is going to be Mike. Who wants them? Who wants them? Who wants the DM? Who wants them? He's not the DM? I have the DM. Or ADM, sorry.

Who wants to be there? Maya, Codotid drops to one. I'm going to look over at the throne and do I get a, do I get a sense that she's still healing? Like, was I conscious when she was or, like, how she's maintaining? I would say you know enough about vampires

to know that when she drinks blood, what she's done, and that they generally have a natural rejuvenation to themselves. So it's not something that's coming from the throne or anywhere else. It's just vampires in general. Okay. You've dealt with enough, I would say. Vampire beast. I did use my expedition's retreat already, so unfortunately I can't do that.

I'm going to just use my action and my movement to get 60 feet closer to everybody. and as I'm running, I'm just kind of like tightening up my sash and pulling out a superior healing potion. Get to the flame prince, Kana. Get to the flame prince. Yeah, so I'm trying to get to the flame prince. On it. There you go.

That's 60? You can move five more feet, but yeah, you're kind of trapped. I'll stand next to the professor. I'm back, and I will heal myself for... Get in there. What are you doing that? Satania put me in the corner. What about my pain, you go, damn it!

Damn it, make you real! I've told you too well. Get out of my head. Once again, Shradoggi reaches up into the air as she begins to control your shadows. I need you to make a strength saving throw. Oh, man, that was almost all of us? Yes.

Oh, boy. Strength? Yes. That's my worst thing. Oh my God. Did I actually succeed here? My saving throws are just hot fire to do. hot fire. 20.

Should I twist to? I have 16. I will choose to fail and I'll continue to heal. I mean, you have to try

get to twist it. You got to go. You got to move on your turn. You got to go. You got to do it. You got to

damage or she's never going to die. Does this happen to Lucas too? Yes. Oh my God. I only got one. Lucas has a shadow. 17. Oh, so doggy should do it too.

The doggy's made of shadow. So he's not real. That's true. So I would say the dog he doesn't. He's real to me. So, Victoria, Kana, Clayton, and Lucas, you all feel yourselves entangled by your shadow, potentially, unless Maya's using a second one.

I'm not. I'm just going to use the one. I'm just healing. Do I have a shadow if I'm a shadowy form myself? Yes, you do. Really? Yeah. Okay.

Yep. Get wrecked. Get wrecked, fam. And the bloodstained ghost that's still there is going to turn around and run towards Victor, uh, Kana this time. Somebody kill that damn thing. Yeah. And it's going to make, yeah, the Bloodsaint Ghost.

They can hit her from there, so she'd make it. Oh, you know, it doesn't have to move. All right. Two of its attacks hit. All right. And it is going to be like this. Trit in trash. Track, trash, trash, trash, trash.

24 points of neprotic damage. Oh, geez. Just heal. Sorry. And then seven. and then 17 more points of necrotic damage, and I need you to make a con save. Mm.

Oh, easy. 30. I need you make it again for the second. I was going to say, if you didn't have a dice tower, you would have got, that's cut. Make sure it's on. 23. You are able to shrug off its withering,

it's withering touch, is it lashes out at you with its spectral form. Yeah. You do take the damage. Like, scared. Lucas, get in there. And he's just like shrugs. He's like, oh, fine, throw another teacup. So he's going to throw a teacup, and he's going to throw an arcane bolt. So let's do those real quick. So the teacup will, let's do that first. Do you mean the moat? Or do you mean an actual arcane bolt?

Oh, sorry. How's the name is it down? The arcane bolt. The arcane bolt. The arcane bolt is 40. Twist it. Twist it. Oh, my God. I'm so stupid. This is the teacup, which is 4D10 plus seven. Oh, twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it. Yeah, much, thank you, chat. We need to start doing real damage or else we were going to...

What the hell, my God, how do you do a real damage? I know, how is that you? 22. Only you. I'm just kidding. So, 40, 10, they're all different diet amounts. I got to say Shepard Twist. Sephard and Lucas get auto-twist.

Who would have thought that this fucking Lucas, the fucking magic butler. Starring T-Cop's a damage dealer with Shepard. The only other. Another damage dealer. 29 points of magical bludgeoning damage. You said 29? Yep.

Magic Butler. And then the arcane bolts or the arcane moat. This is Dungeons and Dragons. Yikes. Should I twist this one too? Just kind of twist. Thank you, chat. Thank you, Chad.

You look, that's a 18. Here we go. That hits. Nice. Only you You need to roll in better Rets or else That's great, guys

I'm gonna go one more Hey what can I do about this is Horrible 10 15 16 17 points of forced damage And then for my bonus action I will have her Have my arcane hand

Punchedre danya So It's going to punch her And I'll roll for that Don't roll shit That's got. Don't roll for shit.

Don't throw for shit. That is a 21. Oh, nice. It barely hits. And then that will do the hit. That's a 48. What's for a 18?

21, 21. So then heated. The plus seven is 25, 29, 39 31 points of force damage. And then for my action, I think I just kind of save some stuff.

So I'm going to say, Akana, so I'll put my finger out, and arcane bolts will fire out. So the first one. You know, it's the final battle, Professor. Don't save anything. She's saving his spell slots for next week. Yay, yeah, yeah, got it.

For the actual life. That scared me for a second. He was like, oh, duh. Oh, that's one hits. I'm like, oh my God, is that? I'm prepared for next week. 21 points of four standing. Okay.

What's that? And you let loose your bolts, your arcane blasts, shoot forward. As the last one hits, you see a bit of blood begin to drip down Shredaania's face. She's looking bloody. Oh. Shut up. No fucking way. Bullshit.

I don't believe it. No fucking shit. This is a trick. Stradanya is going to your, who's grappled? Tim Lucas. Yeah, no, no, no. Trinia physically has me, but I'm not shadowed grappled. Yes.

But she's like physically, she's physically grappled you. Okay, she's going to make her first attack on you as she leans down. and she is going to make a bite attack into you. Thank you for that. Yeah, you won't. Yeah, that's going to hit. Maintaining game state. Thank you, thank you.

Wow, I couldn't have rolled. I could have rolled worse, but not by much. Nine points of piercing damage. Oh, no, no, no, no, what am I doing? I'm rolling for the fucking gargoyles. That's not Stradonia's bite. Yours is way worse, ma'am. I don't see it, right?

That's... You can use the gargoyle, you know, they're the banished. They banished. There's no wisdom here behind the pillar. You can completely ignore that. I have different things. Who would check behind the pillars? There's no wizard back here.

No way. No way. No way. Whose chairs are these? The siano, not nice? Yeah. 20 points of necrotic damage and your max HP is lowered by that. And you will see as she regains

as she begins to bolster herself not quite getting over the bloody threshold. But she's close. 17 plus cards. 37. 37 and half is 18. 18.

Oh, boy. Natural toy. Fuck, yeah. Andy's not happy when they're not around attack rules. I know, I know, but I'll take it. I mean, the concentration is pretty big. It's pretty huge.

So that was her bonus action. She's then going to zoop it. she's going to drop you. As she lowers herself into the floor, travels through the stone, Clayton, she's going to pop up behind you and make an attack. Oh, no.

And that will hit. A girl, shield. What is your thing? 26. Oh, she's disadvantaged. Oh. Fort. I keep smiling to say Fortnite.

It will miss. She will then lower herself into the ground and she's going to zoop towards Kana. Okay. She is going to make a lot. attack on Kana with a natural 20. I can't stop that. Wow. And she's going to make her second one on her as well, and that will also hit.

So we'll do the National 20 first. Can we start playing the Titanic music now? That's only for a TPK. She's bloodied. We can do this. Wow. 52 slashing damage for the crypt. Oh, God.

That's going to put her down, folks. There's no way. It's like, it's going to be like over 100 damage. 22 damage for necrotic. That's for the crit. That's not for the second hit. Then she's going to do 23 slashing damage and 16 necrotic. So this is just be being down as long as it's not. They're combined hit so it doesn't count as a crit. You were up when the second hit. So you were just death saving throws at this point. So I'm gonna, I'm, I grasp at the professor's briefcase,

and I look up at him as I go, and save us, Professor. Oh, well, that was far too easy. And she's supposed to be the one that protects you, and she's going to drop Kana Hart on the ground. Oh, that was her turn though, right? That was her entire turn. All right. In my sense of how fucked Shepard is by Necrock

but she does get her legendary action, back now that's been her time. Oh, so if you're looking at me, you would see that I'm, I'm real beat up, but I'm not nearly as bad as I was before. Like, I don't look as, I don't look as damaged as I did when you healed us last recently, but what you notice about me is that overall, I just look more frail and gone and my eyes are kind of sunk in a little bit. Um, yeah, yeah, I look, I look ill. I look weak and tired. Okay. And I'm banged up pretty good, but I'm not on, like, I don't look like I'm on it, like, hanging on by a threader, I said. Got it.

Okay. I will, uh, I will look at Soudania and I will say, yes, she does protect us and Garex the fire lord protects her. And I'm, actually, Fire Prince gets to go. And if it heals Kana, it will juke her back up. So what, one in one in one? Kana is a 10. Wait, yeah, she's nine to ten. That's neither, unfortunately.

It's going to heal Victoria, though, for... Nice. Victoria for 16 points of healing. Oh, thank you. And then I, so I will, as I say that, I will cast, use my last seventh level spell slot to cast heel. Nice. On Kana, you're within 60 feet of me, right?

I need to get within 60 feet. Yeah, you're not sure. I'm going to move as far as I can, 30 feet, towards, I guess I can move myself. I just don't like my sleeves. Can we do it? One, two, three, four, five, six, I guess. I'll go there. And then, uh, I will get 80 points of healing. Plus, you get a little extra from, from Firebiz, a little bit extra, three extra healing. So 83 points of healing. Wow. That's, wow. God, just undone, you just undone everything I'm doing here. We physically could not do this

without a dedicated feeling. And, oh, wait, Stradanya's right there. Fire Prince, save our protector. And I am going to Zup Kana and poof you. Actually, no, you're fine now. I am going to, who's looking the roughest of that of everyone? Who's to get away from Sardana? I guess you all are pretty good.

Okay, I'm going to poof Victoria away. Victoria's charmed. I'm charmed. And I look fucking fabulous. You just healed the friend that's about to I invite one of you motherfuckers.

So I am going to Zup her 30 feet away. Do I get the sense that she's... Oh, yes. That I'm charmed. Take the witch away from us

and... No! 30 feet as far away. Can you believe you would say such a thing to you? I would be back by on. The rich is forced to fucking

go all the way that fucking way. Even farther away from me, get my fucking quark. Get my fucking out of here. Feeder to the throne. 30 feet, and then he will teleport there. Oh.

Yeah. Swope. Yep. Okay. That's it. That's my turn. Okay, so I have been zooped. Mm-hmm.

I am charmed, and I am still restrained by the shadowy tis? Or did that draw? Yes. That dropped on the lair action. Or did she did it again, yes. So you technically currently are. Restrained. Okay.

And you can transfer your eyepike to somebody. Yes. Who was the last person that dealt damage to Strzrena? Clayton. Okay. Lucas. Lucas. But I would say you're still a sentient being,

so you would know Clayton, Cash Lucas. So you could choose. You know, it was. Yeah. Oh, if you know, it was Clayton. Archimble. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Apologies.

Yeah, it was Clayton. Yeah, I was Clayton. Oh, he's right there. I would look back towards Clayton. And, and, ugh. Do you. And I would try to transfer the eye bite to you.

So that is a wisdom saving throw. Oh, no. What a piece of shit. I just want to kill his kid. It was almost so cool, really? Oh, one and a two on my advantage. Oh, no. Which I might.

It's time. I would just twist it. Morton, Morton's, man. I mean, like, how many got allowed? You've just... I think twice a lot. I think twist is better. Yeah.

All right, all right. Twist, there's. Who's it doing this? Thank you, Matt. Thank you, Chad. Oh, DC might not be very high. So my saves are- the DC is.

Wow, that was some shade. That was some shade. Yeah, rude. The DC might not be very high. I think I fail. That is 815. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You. And then you get to save at the end of your turn. So. I think God, Lucas is a same. We don't really need Clayton, frankly. No, no, we just need a little best.

Can we throw out with her stuff? I would want you to, I guess, get away from her. So I would make you feared. Panics, I mean. That works out well for him. So the target is frightened of me. So you must dash away, take the dash action and move away from me by the safest and shortest available route,

unless there's nowhere to use. Okay, yanks. On my turn. On Heroes Feast, so you can't be frightened. Oh! It's locked. It's locked. Yes.

Sorry, Dave. That's not my best. What I said was that's good for you. Thank God. I didn't want to say anything. I mean, hey, I've made those mistakes. I love you tell us, but I've got to let you make those mistakes, too. Because I'm really trying to kill you guys.

You think I'm afraid of viewpoint. Any chance that I get to give you a little bit of a break, I'm gonna take it. Oh, my gosh. Because y'all are lucky I'm the dumbest one on. I love you, baby. I love you so much. It is with that.

Who's in front of Stradania? Who is? Tanya. Yep, I'm next to her. She is going to grind her teeth as she looks towards you, wickiness flaring in her eyes. Byrne?

No. It's a legendary action. It's a legendary action. You know because you're turning, right? Oh, yeah. That's the end of my turn, but I have puppy dog next. Oh, yeah. Sure, puppy dog.

Because I know that's going to probably kill her, and then the fight will be over. I'm going to go very well. So puppy dogs... How do you want to do this? Yeah. Woof, woof. Better know.

Huge done. Uh, yeah. How far can he get 50 feet? I don't know. He can get to her. Yeah, he can go on through the feet of the family. 100% get to her. Yes, he can certainly get in that square.

Oh, are you not turn by her anymore? No, she is. Waitki. Waitki. But. That's why I... It's time for school. The dog goes on its own, and it only has one target, whoever she casts on her.

I wasn't sure if she was going to be like, but, shepherd! Um, and just we'll have it. It's a really cool effect, and it basically has this horrible determination that it will not give up until it's either it's dead or the target is dead. It's a hell omen. It is an omen of doom. That's cool. So it's no basically like hyper-focused on your gun on you. Yeah.

And nothing happens. It works. Okay. And you can roll to see if you break the trap. And now it's a legend. Now it's a legendary action. She's going, she does because they started on her turn. And she's going to use all three of them. And she's going to turn towards you, Kana. Her eyes are going to alight with rage and hatred. As she channels the might of the dark powers into her blade. You see as the blade begins to radiate a dark red and black magic as it swirls around the hilt and then down the blade as she attempts to make an attack on it. Okay. It hits, so it's an automatic crit.

Is this a shell? It is not, it is a legendary action. So she is going to attack you with her at a crit. Oh, my, look. I completely forgot she had, though. Oh, I'm honored. It will be gone with the layer action, right? I see.

Or no, really, yeah, it'll be gone. Okay, got it. 30 points of slashing? No, it's not 30 points of slashing. Hold on, let me do this again. So it's 30 points of slashing damage, but I didn't roll as the crit. So you can then add... Oh, no.

16 more points. So it's 46 in total for the main hit, and then the necronic damage is... Oh, I didn't roll my healing afterwards. 20 points of necrotic damage. Clayton, you heal. Apologies for doing this late. but you heal for, I'm max, 18. Oh, you're mad.

It's just, it's the thing, isn't it? Why are Prince you suck? I'm gonna, as the blade goes in, I'm gonna like pretend like I'm slumping over and then I'll write myself back up and just swallow the blood that's girdling out of my mouth and I will yank the blade back out and I'll be like, third time's not the charm.

And they're still standing. Oh. All right, she looks down at you. Well, now she was kidding. fucking can. Your death will come soon. Until then, you can watch what I do to your friends.

And she just narrows her eyes at you. It was Ravenloff's turn. I need a D-10. Oh, God, I'm scared. Oh, gosh. I'm scared again. Ravenloft, why do you do this to me? The floor beneath you begins to shake and move.

His energy corrupts the stone of the floor turning. a 20 by 20 section in the very center into a bloody viscous goof. The area is considered a difficult terrain. And anyone who is inside of that 20 by 20 foot area, which is in the very center, so over Clayton, Kana, the dog, and Stradonia in that general area is difficult terrain. And that is what it is.

That's what happens. Shepard. I'm looking across the room at Shardania and I holster judgment and I start flipping switches and turning knobs on redemption. I kind of twist the barrel a little and it starts to extend and I'm able to flip the handle up. And I'm saying the doc always used to leave me with little sayings and tips and tricks. And he's left me with one more trick up to his sleeve. And redemption, the handgun is kind of turning to a longer barrel. and it's kind of turned longer in cylindrical.

I pull out judgment, and I screw the end of the first gun on the other. I'm flipping twists and there's steam things and moving. He gave the gun's abilities to do lots of different things, and this one he called Revelation, and the two guns are kind of now a long rifle, and I holster the gun up to my shoulder, and I aimed down the sights at Stradania, and I say, he also told me that every bully he ever met

couldn't shut their fucking mouth until they were fucking scared and I pulled the trigger. That's fucking go, Andy. That's awesome. I love this. Oh, I'm going to use a twist on that. Yeah, fucking that. That is going to be a natural

fucking 20. So what that means is Revelation's one shot is 18D6 plus 40. So it's actually going to be 36 D6 plus 40, and because it's judgment and redemption, it's maximum amounts of damage. Yeah, no, that's true. So I'm going to do 36 times six, which is 216 plus 40 points of damage for 256 points of damage from Revelation. What about Argon-Vost and the Garrick's?

It's already included. Okay. Oh my goodness. That has to be. You place, you tinker. with your weapons, channeling the knowledge that Doc Cogburn presented you, and you are able to, for the first time, harness the ability of revelation. You let the blast fly, and Stradanya is nearly knocked off her feet as she slams into the ground,

but she climbs back up. She is wounded. She looks pained. Her armor is splintered from her. Her dress itself is tattered around, around her legs. Blood is spilling forth from the wounds on her body

and her eyes hone to you, but she still stands. I'm gonna roll one more D20 to see if the ability refreshes. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. I do not get it. Steam bursts from the rifle, and the rifle comes apart,

and I'm flipping switches and I'm turning it back and they're back into judgment and redemption, and that is the end of my turn. Oh, shit. I know she doesn't have legendary reactions because I wasted all of those thinking I had a lot of health left.

Holy fuck. Kana. Almost in slow motion. I'm like, only fuck. That's a lot. Blattered in the face. She went from bloodied to a quarter.

I'm getting splattered in the face by Stradanya's blood, like shock all over my face, seeing her even stumble for a moment. And like in slow motion, like, whip my head around to see the steam out of the coming out of revelation. Yeah. Never having ever set eyes on this weapon before, I am bolstered and inspired more so than ever before, looking around at my friends,

glancing over my shoulder at Clayton, at the pooch in front of me, wanting to just, I walk five feet over to the pooch and look down at it, and I cut the pooch. I'm straight on. who have wounded us

heart, body, soul, with friendship. I never die. And I look back down I'm approaching to say. If you do not enter the lion's den, I will not catch us. I'm going to take the red sash

around my waist. I'm going to undo it. And I'm going to tie my hair up, you know, on top one. She slits your throat. You fall over. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

I'm going to pin my head. hair up into a top one. I'm gonna fasten the helmet, my samurai helmet over my head. And I'm going to use my vestige, having been inspired by by Shepard to use his, I will use heroism, which allows me to inspire my allies, granting them the action of the hay spell. This lasts for two rounds at the end of your turn.

Oh, shit. That is my action, so I don't think I can do anything. You do not get your attacks this round. Okay. You did do something. Yeah, I did to do something. Let's be frank. And then I will action search.

Hey. It's fucking good. Fucking haste. I'm so excited. I never get this for me. I always give it to show. And I will also use my fighting spirit to give myself 15 points. of temporary hit points as my armor comes a light,

brighter than ever, glowing shades of blue and red and gold, all just this rainbow of color before it washes down over me, and I will gain advantage on these next five attacks. Five, yep, so all five of these will hit. Damn, let's go. As I deal 59 points of damage. Oh, okay.

You slice into. her. You're in and near rage as you emblazing your friends. You slice in. You're finding all of her weak points. She continues to loom over you. A wicked smile, a light on her face. Finish your shepherd. Friendship. All right. Uh, layer action. She is going to attempt to take control of you all through your shadows again. I need you all to roll strength saving throw. I fail that. 22. 23.

I'm telling you, 16. What did you get, Kelsey? Victoria and Sarnax, you both feel your shadows wrap up around you and restrain and restricts you

in place. Stradanya lets out a chuckle as she looks between the both of you. Fire dispels my shadow. Fuck. The ghost is going to make both of its attacks on, was it within 20 feet of Kana?

You guys get plus two to your AC as well as part of the HES spell. Sorry, I forgot to mention that because I was so wrapped up. What's your AC then now? 24. Yeah. Okay, then only one of them hits by the ghosts. You get advantage on deck saving throws as well as an additional action, but you can only use it to make one attacked or dash to see H-H-high.

And your speed is doubled. 16 points of necrotic damage to you, Kana. and I need a con saving throw, DC-15. So it hits me with a 24? Yes, only one of its attacks hit you. There are three of them in there. A con-saving throw? Yes.

26. Yeah, no, you pass, so you're not under the effect of the disadvantage and saving throws, but you do take the damage. And that is the ghost. Clayton. I will have Lucas,

Lucas, do your thing. So he's not restraining anymore, because he's passed, right? So this is a new one. So he's going to first throw an arcane bolt at Stradanya with a natural one. Quist. Quist and then he's going to walk up to her. What should be?

He's going to walk up to her and he's going to pull out the teapot and the silver tray again and smash them both down. And this will be first one in... First one is that misses. Second one, that misses. He's one twist. Yeah, that's awesome. Thank you, chat. Thank you, chat.

There we go, that's ahead. That's a hit. That's a hit. So that is 66 plus seven, 33 points of magical bloodening damage. Okay. And then, yep.

he is going to basically start to glow with arcane energy. His third eye is going to open up. And he's gonna look so powerful that it's almost horrifying. She needs to make a DC-17 with saving throw with him for one minute. She's a mean to frighten. Here we go.

Nice try, buddy. And I will use my arcane hand to come in. Can this go see? 60 feet, one and a half, two, three, you know, yeah, you can get there. Six, one, two, yeah, yeah, he didn't get. So the arcane hand's gonna come in, and it's going to give her the old puncheruny,

which is, that's advantage, because it's me. There's no other D-12, a million D20, but I can't quite a single one. That's gonna hit, doing 48 four-stair. damage. One two, three, four. That's 19 points of force damage. 19, that's it. And then how is everybody looking? We're pretty beat up. I look like shit. But I don't look like I'm like, again, I'm still the same. I don't look like I'm on the brink of death. But I look like I'm gone and I'm withered and I'm tired. I'm swallowed. What?

Kind of looks really fucked up, right? Yeah. I think you'll be a better candidate for me. this. So I will pull out a caterpillar cocoon and I will say mulfium and I'll crumble it and throw the dust over Kana and if you're willing

he will shift into a gigantic ape. Oh my gosh! He's the In TK! You know him well he's finally back to kick some day. Because it was Hersia? Yes! and he is cocoa gun,

fires in sports. Cona Kong. Kana Kong. Fuck yeah, I'm willing. And I'll move here just to give you a little. Or Candy Kong. Candy Kong. Candy con.

I like that. That's actual character. I know. Candy Kong. I say we can be like ditty and candy. I'll say. All right, let's finish her. And then I can use my action with haste to

dash, hide, or disengage. Yes. Yes. So I will disengage. And I will move one, two. I will get out of this bloody circle. How many movements?

I was just one, or no, I need to move one, two out, two to get out. You are going to take six points of necrotic damage. Okay, I'll mark that down later. So I'm gonna go, so I move five. You're gonna mark it out now, game. I think there. So I'm gonna back up a little bit with my disengaged, the ghosts, don't fuck with me too bad.

And that is my turn. Shardanya is going to swing her arms while she used to the side as she raises her head towards the ceiling. And she is going to bloody, beaten, bruised, far more damage than you could have expected. She's looking wildly around at all of you as she lets out a wail, a true lament of the damned. Oh, shit.

And I need you all to me. make a Constitution Savings for it, please. And I'm using... And tell me what you get. Do I use my 8th form Constitution savings room? I need to twist. So look up for you, so in that, go to extra.

Twist, yeah, if you want to. We have... Can I twist two? Yes. Collin? Sorry, this is problem. Are you ready for us? No, I'm going to wait until everyone knows what they've got,

and then I'm going to determine that. Finally, I fail won't. So if, so the Apes is plus 10. What's yours? It's 12. Okay, so the New Year. Is that cock? Yes, it's copy.

I don't want it to be, but... If I could turn back... 25. We got a... Do anyone roll below a 20? Me. Yeah. Okay.

Do you twist them? Yeah. I got a 30. You did twist it. I did twist it, yeah. Do you want to do more twist, or no? I don't like to do more. No, okay.

One for go. Let it run. Le Dhania, or La Danya, Stradanya lets out a mournful whale As haunting supernatural music floats throughout the air Anyone who succeeded is going to take 18 psychic damage Those who failed dropped to zero hip-poms What? Okay So this is not a damage amount of taking it's just no

You're right, yeah, whale My knees hit the stone and then my head follows And judgment redemption clatter from my hands. Oh, holy shit. Two seconds. I do not have straight. Okay. So the Gargwins are back.

Oh, no. Yes, they are, because I would drop concentration. And they're right next to me. Oh, no. Would they repair where they left? Yeah. Then they're going to be right on the Houndaville omen. Because they were in the middle of the room when I banished them.

Oh, they were? Oh, they were like, roll for here. No, I thought they were over here. Yeah, they hadn't moved. No, they hadn't moved. Oh, they were like right here. They were literally in the middle of the room. Oh. On the other side of the pillar, because she, yeah, that's what they were.

Yep. I mean, like one of them would be on Lucas, but it's fine. And yes, I buy drops. I mean, that is her entire turn. I'm going on as well. Furness. As I'm clutching. They actually do not show up because per my thing, it's been, oh no, it's 10 rounds for a minute, never mind, we're on sixth round. Yeah, it was all you do. They do. They do.

I'll be holding my hands to my ear holes. I'll look around. I'll see you immediately drop. I'll see the Shredonia's weak, and I'll see that, you know, that I think the Kana is pretty bloody too, right? I don't know. I am an ape. Oh, you are there?

That's right. I would have died again if it weren't for the eight for her. So thank you. And I will, I will look around and I will just say, Garrix, Fire Lord, I ask you, please help us finish this now. And I am going to use my ninth level spell slot and cast Mass Heel. And everyone will be fully fit.

No fucking way. No fucking way. Bless your sweet souls. It's gracious. It is not, unfortunately. Good try. Unless we are missing more than 700 hit points. But if not, then...

I would be 153. No, I'm only missing like 40 between Lucas and... Are you hearing of my name? I'm not mad, Abby. Unfortunately, you're 8. Okay, sorry. I heal 18. Does anybody want to guess how much my max HP modifiers currently lives?

Oh, my God. 105. Okay, okay. Okay. Max, oh. How much max HPM is? 60. Okay.

Is it seven? Star-Nx is the winner. Minus 99. Wow. Oh, that's so hard. She's an ape. No. You save me.

I do. Well, you know, you got a ton of hip points. Yeah, I'm good. I figure we're not going to be able to get like a through, but actually back up to fully shape, unless I did that. So. Okay, she is then going to run towards you, Sarnet. She's going to slu-or, do you have more?

I do have more. I do have more. I am going to use the flame prints to, oh shoot, I'm just going to just lob. I don't think I've ever done this. I'm going to lob a little B to something at her. A little flame. Oh, it actually is going to hit. It's going to be like a 23. And bump. Bop. No, after her whale, her EC is now 57. He does, Aerereal now. Oh, wow. He does 10 points of fire day.

Very good. And then he also have bounced around and healed some people, so I'm just going to do that. Yes, you can do that on the side. So you're sending the fire prints over here, over to her, to her? Oh, he'll go in the middle of the room. Okay. Towards me, towards me. It's 30 feet towards me.

Stradonia is going to, you watch as her form shifts. She is going to shift down into the floor, and she is going to pop up behind Sarnax. and she is going to make a strike again. I was ready for this. And she is going to hit. I'm guessing this is like fly by. Yes, she has fly by.

There's no. There's no way. Opportunity attacks. No, no. Well, Shepard's full heel, so it doesn't matter. And, it's... Sheppard's full heels, so it doesn't be. Well, yeah. Now, we're good.

That was a great plot. That was a great fucking play. 31 slashing damage. If it matters, my AC is... And nine necrotic damage. My AC is higher, obviously. It's at 21, but... Yeah, no, it would have hit.

It starts crazy bojangles. Yeah, yeah. No, that's... And that is her... That's a legendary action from her. Victoria. Are you still a lot of... I was going to ask it.

Am I termed, and am I still wrapped up by shadow? You're not wrapped up by shadow. Oh, because it's the blood thing now, right? No, you would have still been wrapped up by shadow. Just because you were... unconscious, your shadows still would have held you. Because that's something she's controlling with the layer action. Oh.

Oh, did I change it to something else? It's a blood pool at the middle of the... That was Ravenloft. That's Ravenloft. So it's still the shadows now. It's still the shadows. So if I still charmed? No, because you went unconscious.

You drop the charm. So then I will use... Do I still have my haste? You do. That was going to be my... Yes, you still have haste. Okay. That is something if Conna had gone unconscious,

it would have been different, but she didn't. And so can I use one over? my haste actions to get out of the shadowy, grappling thingy? Yes. So that would be your action to get out of it? You have to roll against it. You don't, you won't get the extra attack. Oh. But if you only get the attack of your action is an attack. But attack doesn't have to spell, so you can use it and they use a spell.

Yeah, just really only to take the attack, one weapon attack only. Yeah, so it doesn't really help a castor, one weapon attack, it doesn't count. I think you can only use it to dodge, not even dodge, does engage, dash. Let us do us. Oh, yeah. You could break gravel and try to hide. Yeah. I don't use an object.

I don't happen anything. How does Tridanya look? She looks pretty weak. I would say, I don't think you could kill her in this turn. I think there's one of you at the table that could kill her in this turn, but it's not you. So, yes. I am going to still wrapped in my... in my shadows, I am going to hold up my hand and a black orb will form in my fingertips and fly out towards Stradania.

Okay. And that will be a chaos. Very nice. 26. That hits. Oh, the goggles are about to fuck our day. Yeah, I tried, man. That was no, that was unbelievable.

Action economy, baby. Five rounds is pretty good. Just think about how much more fucked you would be if that hadn't happened. Oh, yeah. And I had to pass like 6,000 comments. I got really lucky on my saving pros. So it's 29 psychic damage. Psychic, you said.

Thanks. Oh, God. Are you resistant for that? No, no. She just likes to troll. It's my life. All right. Yes, that will be that.

And then I'm going to move. Where's the blood pool? It's right beneath you. Let me know how much movement you do outside of it, or to get out of it. I wasn't in her. No, she was on the front. She's on the throne, yeah. So that will be my turn, and then Pooch-Jog.

So this is difficult terrain, correct? Yeah. So. Does it have an elf? Huh? It does have, okay. Yeah. It got killed by Bobba Lysaga with the rain.

Because it might take damage in the bubble. Okay, so it's going to move five, ten feet in the, bubble and it'll basically come over here outside of the bubble so make a great attack it's going to take 14 points of necrotic stitch 21 wait for 21 heads sweet go puppy dog I think Lucas and the dog are both wasted or is it just like humanoid just just your allies and I wouldn't say Lucas or the dog so six Pearson Favich all right get them boozy Oh, God, it's really the most turn.

You were prone, so you would have to get up. So 15? So you would have 30... Oh, no matter of it. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, you... Oh, yeah. We're still there. And Stradanya is going to sink into the floor

and pop up behind you, Victoria. and she's going to make attack against you. I can believe you would do this to me in my hour of need, my sweet. She stabbed into you, and she is going to, she's going to land it. Your AC now is 18, right? What's your AC now? Yeah, it's still not great. 29 points of slashing damage.

And 12 points of necrotic damage. And she sinks her blade into your back. It is Ravenloff's turn. Your eyes immediately darted. to the ceiling as the chandelier above your heads begins to shake. Oh, no. The glass clinking together

as it plummet to the ground. Everyone needs to make a dexterity saving, don't please. We're good at that. I'm good at that. I'm good at you, Haste. Oh, yeah, I'm really good at that. I fail.

35. Oh, God. Ships better than Bands. Should we twist or no? I'm gonna let it ride. I'm cool. I'm gonna let it ride. You are going to take 18 fire damage

as the candles flare up. The moment this, the chandelier crashes down around you. Your bits of clothing ignite as you take 18 fire damage, half on a success. And you're pierced by the shattered glass of the crystal shards. You're gonna take 15 piercing damage, half on a success. So four?

rapidly dropping. Nine, right? Nine. And then, how much? Six. Seven. Then the Seeley is going to move towards Clayton, and he is going to attempt to make his attacks on Clayton. I'm so sorry, everyone has that. Two will hit. Uh, shield.

And the other one is going to be D6. And that is going to be 14 points of slashing damage as it claws into.

Thank you. That is that. Shepherd. I am going to make four hasted attacks into Shredaunha. Wachamoli. That one's good, that one's good. This one and this one is good.

I'm gonna just twist one. Nope, that's an effort once. 29 plus seven is 36. 38. Oh, wait. Sorry. 36. It's okay. Sorry. Just for 60. What the fucker? Just quiet down over there. Sixty points of damage over three attacks. How do you want to do this? No.

Uh. What? She had 49 hit points left. I take it. I'm firing off round after round and with the final, with the final blast I take for the first time. all campaign, redemption. And I pointed at her, and I looked down the barrel and I say, Stradania, may Garrix the fire lord assuage the anguish of your bereavement. Goodbye. And I pulled the trigger.

Tradonna turns her head towards you, caught off as she's staring at Victoria. Hate, love, anger, hope, betrayal, written across her face. As you begin to speak, she turns to look at you. Her fangs bared, but she looks too late as the blast from redemption collides with her. And Estradaanya stumbles back with the impact of that final blow. An eerie quiet falls over the throne room. You see her face begin to sink in, and the brightness of her red eyes start to fade. Her skin shifts and twists violently as it turns to an ashen gray.

her unnatural veins pulsing as wildly as the erratic eldritch power from the increasingly cracking ruby around her neck. Her bloody tears drip with an audible splash when they hit the hard stone of the floor as she limps toward her throne. She extends a feeble, grasping hand towards her grievously wounded brother and drops her sword. It clatters to the ground, shattering the relative silence as she practically drags herself to finally face Sergei. My brother! Shradanya looks down at Sergi and sheds a single final tear of blood. The tendrils of crimson energy slowly, finally, slither into retreat and slip entirely back into the gem at her throat. Then, without a sound, a terrible, blinding crimson light radiates from the gem and floods the room.

A horrified look of realization comes to Shredanya's face before she turns around and throws her back towards her brother in an attempt to she, field him as the gem explodes in a fraction of a second, heralded by a repulsive gushing sound, an insurmountable red tide of slimy, otherworldly blood erupts from the shattered ruby and blasts the entire room with explosive Eldritch energy. I need everyone to make a charisma saving throw at disadvantage. Oh, boy. Oh, no. That was a natural 20, too. Oh, boy, I got seven. Do we want to twist these? I mean, the disadvantage, it's like eight.

I have really terrible advantage. Yeah, me too. I'm going to let it ride. I fail either way. Yeah. Yeah, eight, I feel. I got a 23.

I don't know things. Okay. What did you get? Clayton gives a five. And Lucas gives a 18. The flood of foul, viscous blood blasts the entire throne room in the

blank of an eye. It's dark power. killing all of you instantly. The blast obliterates the arcane form of Lucas, and he turns to nothing but a pile of melting snow. However, in your final agonizing moment, you realize that death is not enough for this malevolent force. With a sickening and excruciating tear, you experience your souls being ripped from your bodies. You see your own mortal forms collapse to the ground, drenched in gore as your translucent blue spirits remain suspended above the corpses. Unable to move in this apparent afterlife, you can only watch as the blood that coached the crumbled hall begins to ripple to life.

As if gaining a collective mind of its own, the dilatinous icker slithers from the parts of the walls, ceiling, and floor that remain from your destructive battle, coagulating and combining into an undulating blob at the center of the room that grows larger and larger. Once the last globule merges with the all-consuming mass, it begins to wriggle and mold itself into a defined shape. The form that emerges cannot be called feminine, but merely a rough approximation of the upper half of a female body dressed in a long, tattered gown, and shrouded in a hooded veil, but only if it could be described by any observer outside and beyond the realms of all that is known. But of course, there is no actual clothing here, and every bit of this being is made up of slimy ooze-coated flesh, soft and squishy like a grubs with all the colors of bloody mucus. manifested from this flesh are its crown and scepter, which the creature holds high as it finally settles on a configuration that seems to be a mockery

of what mortals might consider regal. However, this weak facade is immediately betrayed by the writhing tendrils that slither out from beneath its false robe. Now, fully formed, the entity rises into the air, floating like a ghost as it faces the five of yours, basking in the light of the blood moon, the aspect of the dark power known only as the blood

extends its tentacles towards your helpless souls, and even in death, you can feel its limitless malice. Five tendrils slide into five incorporeal foreheads, and all at once, your minds open to infinity. Your consciousness remains in the crumbling throne room of Ravenloft, while simultaneously blasting out of Barovia, out of the shadow fell, out of the material plane, out of the inner and outer plains to the limitless vastness beyond. You see castle walls warp and bleed. Vains of red energy burst beneath you as pulsing bulbous veins slither out from the cold stone, past your corpses, and pump into your spirits. Emptiness surrounds you as the stars themselves whizz past, normally nothing but tiny dots in the night sky, now blazing spheres of unfathomable size

that rocket into and out of your sight until a wall of absolute nothingness, stands before you. At the same time, a bloody seat of gold and velvet stretches and twists like a growing tumor. Your mind careens towards the void and the throne and breaks through. What fills your consciousness after defies all reason and reality. Everything you have ever known to be true is no longer. It is all. It is nothing. The sights, the sounds, the sensations are nothing. You are able to or will ever be able to describe. Everything you are, everything you were, everything you will be cannot matter anymore as your very consciousness threatens to shatter in the incomprehensible nature of all that surrounds you makes you wish for the sweet release of total annihilation. And then your

mind's return. The horrible entity in that approximation of a veiled woman floats before you as its bloody tendrils pulse and you feel them warping the very essence of your spectral beings as they remain helplessly suspended above your slain bodies. Victoria, you suddenly recall the wedding you had put to a sudden and grisly end, and you realize how close you were to being the second most powerful person in all of Borovia. And surely, you would have figured out a way to depose your wife and rise higher than she ever had, for Stradania lacked your vision. You would have never settled for countess.

You would have been so much more if your so-called companions hadn't tricked you into giving up your blood right. You deserve far more. You are a queen. You could shape everything in your image until everything would be of you. A boundless, bitter pride swells in you as your spirits form

slowly shifts to a thick, coagulated consistency of bloody mucus. Sarnax. The annihilation of seeing the destructive power of dragons fire consumes you, as all unbound flame should. It's almost seductive. You think of your wasted opportunities

to turn so much of Borovia to ash when you knew deep down you wanted to. The renewal and regrowth that only fire can bring demands an inferno, and that you are. You think of all the corruption you could cleanse and fire, all the old, weak life unfit for survival that could be destroyed and replaced by brilliant, strong, new life,

like a phoenix from the ashes. What you would feel is almost romantic, a love, a lust for destruction. as the light in your soul ignites into a blazing pillar of purple flame. Shepard, your fury and hatred for Stradania and all of the evil she has unleashed upon Varovia, upon Tommy's poor sister, upon your friends absolutely consumes you. You feel the failure of being unable to bring judgment to the countess and her evil sooner. Clearly, evil is far too strong in this world, and in any battle against the forces of good, it will always win.

realize now that there's only one way to truly put an end to it all, the elimination of all morality, the elimination of free will. Only a universe of mindless, unthinking creatures without agency can truly put an end to evil. The pools of rage and seething hatred within you spill into your soul as your being turns to a whirlpool of poison and wriggling parasites. Kana, the horrors you've witnessed in the past weeks, and especially tonight, weigh heavily on you. You wish, for a world of pure water, but you now finally see if the universe is a pool, it is a tainted one. Foul, putrid, vile, like an irrevocably polluted stream that bears sick withered blossoms. The realms of your existence are a taint, and all you can think of is how to protect the realms

that aren't of your existence from that pollution. You are sentinel, after all. It is your duty to protect from the unclean. If this realm is of something, then the only way to shield against it is to be nothing. You are filled with disgust and repugnance as your spirit turns to the nothingness of an impossibly black void. Clayton, all you can think of is why you were here in this cursed land, why you've doomed yourself, your friends, your family, your entire line. The desire has been there since you were a child. You knew you would make a name for yourself, and you already have. But it's never been enough. Each victory, each success, each step on the path to greatness, true greatness did not satisfy.

How could it? All it did was make you crave more respect, more renown, more achievement, more. And now that it's led you here, you cannot think of anything else beyond the next step on that path to greatness. The kind of greatness that will change the world, the entire world forever. It's all you desire, and you desire all. And that want for everything grows until that's all you are. You are consumed by an unfathomably deep, unending hunger as your soul hardens to a solid, perlessent shell, that shimmers with all color. All five of you experience your very essences begin to change

as you simultaneously lose yourself and become the ultimate encapsulation of yourself, and you feel powerful. The light of the blood moon shines down as it hangs at its zenith. It is surrounded by twinkling stars, but they all seem so insignificant now that you've experienced what's beyond them. You begin to accept your metamorphosis and ascension as the manifest station of the Blood Queen begins to rise into the night. Then comes dawn. Although the sun has not risen over the horizon or broken through the perpetual clouds of Borovia, the light of morning

suddenly floods the throne room. It intensifies until all you can see are the blinding rays of the sun for just a moment. Then you see a silhouette standing at the center of the brilliance. Sergei von Zarvich, holding the sunsword high, shines like dawn as he rises into the air and radiates holy light. Morning Lord, with my eyes, I see your beautiful sunrise. With my hands, I sense your merciful warmth. With my heart, I feel your eternal love. You are the beacon who casts away the gloom.

You are the lantern that guides my path. You are the day to which I devote my life. In your name, I raise my hand to the sun. In your glory, I bring the dawn to end. the night. With your holy light, I conquer the darkness. Sergei thrusts his blade upward as his eyes glow a bright gold and his blonde hair flows in the radiating divine power. He is enveloped in a beam of light as the holy might of the sun bursts forth from him. The blood queen lets out a gurgling screech as even she is blinded through the veil as her slimy flesh sizzles and pops in holy

light. She retreats with a hiss and her tendrils are ripped from your souls before completing their Eldridge transformation. Your senses return to you as all five of your spirits glow a bright gold, all remnants of the corruption fully cleansed in the light of dawn. They slowly drift back down into your bodies. With a flash, you all take in a deep breath as your life returns to you, brought back from death by the glory of the morning lord. Like a setting sun, the rays of light turned to softer hues of orange and pink before shrinking back into Sergei as night returns to Borovia. all rise with new life. Your wounds fully healed. As the five of you stand together and face the midnight sky, the crimson moon looming overhead, you see the blood queen ascending towards the

highest tower of Castle Ravenloft. She ascends swiftly, crashing through the roof of the tower and almost immediately the entire structure glows red and pulses like a beating heart. And that's where we'll take a break. Oh my. Holy shit. Wow. Oh, Jesus. Wowie Zowie. Gotta give it for me. Gotta give it up. That was beautiful. I'm shaking, fam.

My man, I'm coming and climb. It's all over. What could possibly be next?
