Welcome to Legends of Evandris. I'm Nikki Scarlett, and you're listening to Edge of Midnight. Here is what happened last time. Tomorrow night at the witching hour, the night of sin, and then rebirth. You have anna. Me neither do you. As Hugo slams down directly in front of you. We are not an illusion. We are here. We are your friends. Please.

Please. Yes, I am here. Friends. You have to stop him if it isn't the heroes of Cyril. And lying in front of it, tied up and wiggling and crying, is the form of Anya. And then you watch as the eyes shift to brow and the skin below her eyes begins to sag and her body begins to elongate as she lets out a loud cackle. You're so stupid, you're grim.

I'm going to follow this little girl. I'm going to give her her storybook back. I'm going to protect her from all the evils in this land, all the while giving me the tools I need. Thank you for saving me. You're longer midnight. Well, this is it. That classic moment of every story where a terrible betrayal is revealed. But I suppose we all should have seen this coming a mile away.

After all, it was mighty convenient for one little girl to be so close to the action, but so lucky is not to end up dead like the other children in this chapter. Trust is a fickle thing, so hard to earn and so easily burned. We'll see if our protagonists ever trust again. But first, they got to survive what's about to happen. I do believe this is what they've been calling, the night of sin. You all stand in the large stone chamber beneath the cathedral as the horrible image of a ritually sacrificed Anya Adelaide

lingers in your mind. However, with reality before you, the truth may actually be worse. It's nearly impossible to believe the little girl that you've protected throughout almost your entire time in Cyril was Mother Midnight herself. Yet the aged witch stands before you clutching Yorkerum with an almost childlike mischievous glee.

Poor Yorkie! You look so supportive. I am so sorry that all of your hearts have to break like this. But you see, there's a silver lining. A broken heart is so much easier to manipulate. Suddenly, the room is flooded with amber light, and you all feel a racking agony all over your entire bodies and from within your very souls,

as you see what truly has been locked away deep beneath the cathedral of the blinding light. binding light. You stand surrounded by seven huge amber monoliths, pulsating with a terrible fiendish glow, with winged dark shapes undulating within. Beams, yeah, shut up, that's my word. Beams of amber energy wriggling with shadow, tether you to each respective monolith as you were paralyzed in the overwhelming sin that nearly consumes you. The knight of sin needs its heralds, and you have so graciously volunteered with such dark power, harbor deep within each of your souls.

Now all you have to do is let go. Relax and let the metamorphosis happen. It will all be over soon. Each of you feels the demonic presence swirl around you as you hear low guttural muttering. Each baller trapped within the amber attempting to make its way into your very essence and anima. Marius, you smell the stench of decaying human flesh

and hear the rattling of shambling bones as your vision turns to a bloated beast of stitched undead flesh with a boar's skull head, waving a jet-black scepter radiating with necrotic energy as you feel wrath start to overwhelm you. Jericho, you smell fresh blood and hear the clanking of metal on metal as your vision turns to a tall, slender creature halfway between man and bird with long, gyrating neck and ghastly white feathers, stained with the gore of countless victims. Jagged knives spinning in its talons as you feel envy start to overwhelm you.

Barron, you smell ancient stone and hear the whipping of sand on the... Oh, sorry, that's Briggsie. Baron, you smell fresh paint on canvas and hear the chittering of nocturnal creatures as your vision turns to a voluptuous crowned woman with bat-like features, large feathery wings stretching as far as you can see,

a barbed whip in her hand as you feel lust start to overwhelm you. Briggsie, you smell ancient stone and hear the whipping of sand on the wind as your vision turns to a six-legged sphinx with midnight blue fur and a viper for a tail, its front legs swirling together to form a pulsing portal

as you feel greed start to overwhelm you. Lefaca, you smell unsettling potent perfumes and colognes and hear the hissing of a writhing serpentine mass as your vision turns to a gaunt, black-eyed man, wreathed in thousands of wriggling albino snakes, raising a regal staff high in the air as you feel pride start to overwhelm you. Your grim, you smell hot tar and potent acids,

as you hear the pot with bubbling, viscous goo, as your vision turns to a colossal, undulating shape of black, red, and green ooze with bulbous pustules bursting, extending its sticky tendrils in all directions as you feel sloth start to overwhelm you. And then, all you see is mist. You realize now that the amber light that has been blinding you

and turning you to sin has been swallowed by thick gray mist that rapidly pours from Gorghum's lantern, filling the room and shrouding you. You hear the voice of Mother Midnight let out an irritated hiss. It was not her who did this. What were you doing, Georgie? you're supposed to be tired. Why don't you take a nap?

Then the mist swirls all around you and begins to take shape as you see a faint ghostly green glow above you and a detached feminine voice echoes through the gloom. It does not. It's now that you see the shape that the form within the mist is taking. It's little more than a silhouette, but it seems to be a hooded woman and a shroud. Two moats of green spectral light where eyes,

might be as the only semblance of a face. You realize now that she is rising up not just from the lantern on Yorker's back, but from within him as well. You watch as a projection of the entity can only be one known as the Maiden of the Mist looms over Mother Midnight, who now looks incredibly tiny, almost childlike in comparison. Despite being dwarfed by the misty being, Mother Midnight lets out a mocking cackle. Oh no, this is. so unexpected you arrived earlier than you are supposed to not very polite of you I suppose mother needs to teach you manners you all watch the snaking tendrils of Eldridge amber energy tethering your gyrum soul to the amber monolith

imprisoning of the Ternus the sloth for baller of Jubilex slowly shifts from that orangey gold to a dark gray mist as the maiden speaks once more you child of the bride of the beast. You may have the gift of second sight and blood of death and fate in your veins, but the realm you may claim upon and draw power from is my domain, and the fiends you've brought through my mist have no place here. In an instant, you see the glow of the power of the land radiate from with all of you as the mist changes color colors, as does the demonic tethers connecting each one of you, blue for water, green for earth, yellow for air, intentionally purple for fire, black for void, and white for spirit. And within that glowing power, you see shapes take form above you in the mist, the master

of crossroads, the beast of blight, the demon of secrets, the Duchess of sin, the Lady of Loss, and the maiden of the mist. The dark gifts form their dark hold on your very souls completely overwhelms the Eldrish Amber and you hear six cacophonous cracks. And a burst of amber light through the mist, you see the incorporeal, shadowy form of six Baylor writh in agony as each of their amber monoliths shatter, and their forms are completely swallowed by the mist itself until there is nothing left at all. They've been banished from Draskinvald once and for all.

Just as quickly as they emerged, the shapes of your dark patrons disappear into the mist as it swirls together above Yorgram, causing the maiden to loom larger over midnight for Mother Midnight for just a moment, before even she herself loses form, and an amorphous cloud of mist rockets downward and crashes into the witch. She lets out a shriek of pain as the dense mist, now howling with the wails of torture's souls, and glowing with that haunting spectral green, washes over Mother Midnight and seeps into every pole. Streaking gray and green veins snake all over her form as her eyes flash with haunting light as she is wracked with pain. However, despite the assault of the maiden, the old crone extends a hand and immediately a rickety broom appears in it. She hops on and rises into the air as she glowers at the cowering form of Archbishop Danton Alexander Renault,

who has been forced to watch helplessly as he impotently tries to open the unmoving stone door to this chamber. With another wave of her hand, a blast of amber energy shoots from the only remaining monolith directly to his face, creating a tether that surrounds his entire head. You, you foolish, sad little man, it is time for you to finally make yourself useful, the only way any holy man ever has by fooling from grace. Immediately, the amber beam pulses

and the dark shape within the monolith of gluttony, gyrates and undulates wildly. Archbishop Renault's eyes go wide with fear as he falls to his knees. Not in prayer, but to grovel. He looks up with tears in his eyes, clasping his hands together in a pleading manner. Please, my mother, I did all that you asked. I betrayed my lord. I betrayed my god. You said I would be spared from the night of sin. You said I could finally eat my fill. Mother Midnight rides higher into the air top her simple broom of wooden straw, slowly moving her bony fingers in a ritualistic pattern as she pitifully looks down on the archbishop like a mother might look upon a child who scraped their knee.

Do not worry, my child. You will eat your fill. You will feast on sin. You will not suffer the fate of the common peoples beneath you. You will be my herald, my long herald of the night of sin. Now, eat up, Danton. Archbishop Renult shrieks in pain as his eyes fill with tears and you hear crack as his jaw on hinges and the amber beam connects directly to his gaping mouth. In a single terrible pulse that fills the room, the dark shape within the monolith rockets through this beam and drives itself into the helpless Archbishop, forcing its way down his throat and into his stomach with a sickening bulge. Then Archbishop Danton Alexander Renault begins to transform. His broken bloated body twists and grows as his skin begins to.

to turn to stone, and his eyes turn to a terrible fiery blue. As he swells in size, his body turns angular, his hands turned to huge claws, and his second pair of arms rips out of his torso, as do two colossal bat-like wings and a long slithering scorpion-like tail. All the while, he does not stop swelling. Soon his shoulders press against the stone ceiling of this chamber, causing the entire room to shake is not one, not two, but three additional. moaning heads grow from his neck until where once a simple man cowered before you now stands a colossal four-armed, four-headed gargoyle that smashes the bricks above. With a loud rumbling and clatter, you witness the main chamber of the cathedral above collapse into the room around you as Archbishop

Renalte in his new form looms tall over you, looking between you with eight hungry eyes and four hungry jaws. Mother Midnight flies up to his eye level and tenderly places a small hand on the side of one of the stone faces. She's gotten her pain under control, but she is very clearly suffering from whatever affliction was unleashed upon her by the maiden of the mist. You are such a handsome boy like this, and all is not lost. I will prepare the bells in the highest tower. You will devour the darkness from these six, and be my one true herald. Once they are in your belly, you will ring in the night of sin. Bon appetit. With that, she lets out a strained cackle and flies up through the broken cathedral in the direction of the highest tower in the once holy structure.

Now the master massive beasts of glutton, the fusion of Archbishop Renault and a bailer of the demon lord Zoveron, hunches toward you as you regain your resolve and composure. It licks its stony lips with four disgusting gargoyle tongues. Finally, I get to eat now. I need you all to roll for initiative. Let's go! Great descriptions. Great fucking descriptions. Boom!

Oh, it fell off the table. I know him. My boss is terrible when I rolled well. Jedi flip. Yes, please. Oh, that is so cool. Place your minis. When you're describing Dantan, for some reason,

I have like a million percent thought you're gonna say as he impotently attempts to open his tin of Turkish delight. I get, oh, what a fucking missed opportunity. He totally should have been there like, like, just completely oddly the meat of this year, and he's like, ooh, a strawberry. That's so deep. You smell of the ice.

No time. Hold on while I put my last night's fish dinner in the company microwave. This will go straight to my thought. This podcast is brought to you by our Patreon.

Neh. Yeah. We almost died to a liver monster. Some of us. Some of us did. Oh, yes. I was literally died. I did warn the party before we started that this was monologue with Sessions, so they were prepared.

Oh, every advantage's boss fight starts with 80 pages. It is tradition. It is definitely become tradition. That's really. It's like, okay, we're entering the boss chamber. There's a cutscene. There's always a cutscene. Yeah. Okay, so I do have to I don't have the rest of that. So, um, Monsters 2 is going to be layer action. Actually, I'll do Monsters 1 as layer action.

Um, 20 to 25. 20? I guess I should also. Oh, I should probably open up my 23. Oh, wow. So supports going first. I see. Those are, oh.

He's got little heads. Okay. Um, 15 to 20. 19. Where do you get? Wow. And then Briggsie, Yorg and what did you get?

12. 7. Perfect. Take it out. Let me begin. All right. There we go. We have an initiative order.

Look at that. Looks beautiful. All right. Let's hope I can remember how to run a box fight. We are, I guess, yeah, we're starting off with his layer action, so let me go through these 18 pages.

Oh my God. I don't think so. He's got layer actions? I thought it was a normal mob. You watch as Archbishop Danton Alexander Renault, we'll just call him the Nope Pope going forward. You know, you watch as Dan Tont moves forward, the Archbishop moves forward,

and he is slavering. You can see the spit just pouring out from the mouths that are now, that have now formed from the stump of his neck as his heads look in all different directions. I'm each of you for which one looks the most tasty, the most delicious. And he is going to, yeah, he is. He is going to, he is going to, yeah, he is going to. Yeah, he is going to do Last Supper. That does. I think my mind, berries does not look at all tasty.

Oh, you're gonna be able to perform ducked tape. Oh, yes, because you are all there. I need you all to make a wisdom saving throw for me, Glac. All those? Yes. Oh, gosh, that. Oh, okay, I feel pretty good about this. Come on. All right.

Not bad, not bad, 19. 19. Not bad. 15. 21. 21. 20. 25. Okay. Cherico. Jericho? I got a 18. You're six of you? Yeah. Lethika, Yorgram. I'm using two twists of dread. I want you both to re-roll. Okay. Okay. Oh, no.

She'd smoked? Yeah, it looks like it. Yeah, I would propose. Okay. No, we can't do that. You can't twist it. Okay, I'll eat it. Oh, no, you be eight. Be it. Reversed that. Okay.

You watch as all of a sudden, the eyes on this entity stare forward, and you all see a lavish feast projected in the room around you. And for a moment, you all feel inclined to eat. And you are able to shrug it off. You still feel the presence. of your being in front of you.

Lethaca, however, you can't shake that feeling. You are hungry, so very hungry, and you begin to eat up this lavaged feast. You were now paralyzed for one minute. Oh, my. Oh, my God. What the hell?

Is that a charm? I'm gonna say no. Oh, no. Yeah, that's about to ask that same question. So you and you? Mm-mm. Oh, just he saved on his twist of drab. There's no bacon on this.

I mean, I had to use two twists of dread for that, so. Morrith. Fucking. I think it's worth. You can repeat the save at the end of your turn, which is literally right now. So go ahead and repeat that save. 21.

Jesus. You begin to shovel this food into your mouth. And just as quickly as you begin to do so, your eyes clear, you smell smoke. and burning wood. And it wrenches you out of this, this trance as you realize you're eating nothing. There's nothing here.

And you come to yourself in that moment. Jericho. Jericho, give me strength. Briggs, what was your role again? E? Seven. Okay. It was eight or seven.

I was 12. Did you master. What, Michael? Does this, does he look fiendish? By any means? He looks like a gargantuan fiend. Little baby eyes to blink at you. I'm going to say, I'm going to walk over to because I look up at him and I'm going to pluck on my banjo and I'll say, and um, um, yummy, yummy, yummy, you got sardines in your tummy, and I am going to touch Lethika

and give you protection from evil and good against fiends, which means that attacks against you by any fiends are disadvantaged, and you cannot be charmed, frightened, or possessed by fiends. Well, that's great. Congrats, Kelsey. Thank you. I get all the breaks. I really do. And with that, with that same motion, I'll say, Leithica, I think that you, you're, you. need this and I don't mean that in a condescending way. And I'll give you Bartic inspiration. Is that Sylvie's but no offense?

Yeah. And that's Bordeca inspiration for you. What is a sardine? What? Thank you, thank you, General. You missed the entire meta conversation we had. That's my, that's my turn. All right, with that, it is the Archbishop's turn.

Who is within five feet? I'm dead in front. Yeah, he's the closest. Yeah, he's the closest. I think I'm 10 feet away. That sounds so excited. Oh, I don't. Some of your math magician.

It's just your gram. It's just your gram. You immediately take two fire damage as an aura of flames whips around the archbishop and it singes into your flesh. And da-da, so that's it for him. Well, not that's it for him.

He is then. He is then going to... Marius, are you within 10 feet of him? Yeah, Briggs, are you within 10 feet of him? Yes, he is. Yeah. Okay, perfect. He is going to make three attacks, three of them on you.

I mean, too. See, reach? Yeah, that's why I said, that's how long arms, I presume. Oh, that changes what I'm gonna do. Um, so for, uh, for Briggsie does 17 hit? it? No. Oh, shit. Okay, so he misses on you. Roll the fun. Someone want to loan me their dice? Uh-oh. Here. No, I'm not actually going to use your dice. Okay. So he is, uh, yeah, those, those would all, those would all miss. Um, so he is going to do, um, because he has, he has four attacks, so. So he's going to do the fourth one on Briggsie again. Because he has the, he has the, um, he has the, he has four attacks. So, so he's going to do the fourth one on Briggsie again.

because he has the 13 plus 8. Is 13 plus 8, that's 21 that's gonna hit? 31? No, no, 21. But you barely miss us. No, 21? Okay, perfect. Thank you.

31, holy. So he is going to do, I can't believe that I rolled so fucking poorly. Well, that one rolled nice. That was max damage for that clock. Oh, okay. 14 points of slashing damage, and you are grappled by him.

There it is. 14's not so bad. He is then, because he does have you grappled, you watch as all four of the heads turn towards Briggs. The arms lash out and try and grab at you, but Briggs is the only one that they're able to find purchase on as they pull him into the Archbishop. You watch all of the heads in tandem,

turn and begin to lick their lips as he's going to attempt to devour you. I'm not even within 10 feet. He's, they said you were, so I'm saying. I'm not, you're within 10 feet. I've already worked for it twice, damn it. So you're within 10 feet. This is what you do when you walk away.

That's what happens. I asked. They said yes. 21 to hit. All right, so you are going to take 15 piercing damage. You are swallowed. On top of the damage you already took? Yes.

You are swallowed, blinded, and restrained. and restrained. Okay. At the start of each of your turns, you can take, well, something. Sorry. And yeah, that's where you're, you're now inside of his stomach. You watch as one of the heads, one of the mouths, almost like a snake, the jaw unhinges, as it consumes Briggs'y hole.

You can see his body as it tumbles slowly down the neck of this creature, and you hear a loud acidic hissing and pop is Briggsie's body lands into the acidic belly of this entity. It is very large, but you can see the form of Briggs as it tries to move around inside of this. You have a chance to react at all? Just like it. Do you have a reaction? Yes. Oh, that was such a nice monologue, and I'll feel like a firm hand on my back.

quick check the board. I can see it. I'll have you going to do. Oh, wow. You can thank your friends. I asked. All right. I can't see.

Andy will I want your care. You're right here. We can check the tent. I was right here. You were there? No, I was here. I literally saw mine. We can check the take.

I believe Andy. That's what I'm going to say. I believe Andy. It's hard to put. Touchpiece movie. Be as such a little in the belly. So yes, that is his turn. Just think about how much worse that would have been

if he had not failed every single one of it. Marius, it's your turn. You just watch as the archbishop swallows Briggsie hole. I will, his attack will have clanged off my shield. And I will yell, Briggsie, no! Bethander, please give me the power to aid him! And my sword will alight and I will dash at him and make two attacks. Dude, same.

That's that. Good, not a good start. He's really big. This twist something. At least get to do one. I would say at least do one. Every. He has up to a lot of hits around, depending on what happens.

What's the AC? 18. This is chapter 19. I think you missed an opportunity to make the AC 19. Nope. That one's out. Good. Okay, it's 19.

Idiot, done. Yeah, he's 95. Oh yeah, his AC just went up to 95. 17 points of damage. Oh, okay. It's fire if it matters. Um, yes, it does. Can you tell me how much fire?

Six of it is fire. Okay, and so that's 11 points of damage. Sorry, Andy. Wow, I'm in trouble. My fire sword does nothing. He's resistant. He's immune to fire. He's a bad lord.

Immunton. It's a battle. Well, I'm not gonna be very much You slice into him and you see that where the fire hits his flesh, it intermingles with the swirling aura of fire around him. You are going to take six points of damage as you hit him with your melee attack. It is fire damage, if that matters for you.

And he does take a little bit of damage, but his heads are moving this way in that he seems completely undeterred by the damage. damage that you've done to him as he is hungry. Not good. Not good. He's a hungry. Farron. I have a long.

I'm gonna just try this and not ask a good question. So sorry. I don't think that's wrong at all. This game's all about Ronald Ice. Um, I am. Trying fun shit. Yeah, let me try some of the question. Oh, um, Lethaca, Jericho and Marius.

I all need you to make a Constitution saving throw for me, please. And Farron because it's your turn. 20? No, I don't want that. Cause you said? Yes, constitution. Okay. Eight.

13. Okay. 23. 23. Yeah. Use an eight. Yeah, I failed. My con's not very good.

You're keeping it? Yeah. All right. Trust. You are interested. I'm going to actually, I have to undo your damage, Andy. I'm sorry. That's fine.

You are instantly petrified as all of you when you start your turn, this gargoyle form, this gluttonous gargoyle form, being within a certain amount of range of him, you feel yourself turning to stone. And as you looked at him, you failed by more than five, so you are instantly petrified. Yeah, that tracks. The rest of you, what did you get?

18. 18. 13. So you are not interesting, instantly petrified. That's not five or more. But you do feel your limbs stiffen a little bit as there is some kind of magical effect to overcoming you. So you have failed, but you didn't fail as badly as Andy.

Yeah, I didn't feel hard. So you get the twist back. But you do get the twist back. Yes, that's true, because I had done his damage. Sorry. I used one to attack. I think we make two. When we return it, we make goofy sound.

Bless me. Or you could use that twist to try not to be petrify. And he's like, I'm just filled. It's done. It's like, it's you. The banner is spoken. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's not like I was going to do any damage to anyone.

It's going to be morning Lord isn't. He's like sad. He's morning. Yeah, morning with an old you. Oh, that's sad. I don't like that. Okay. Um, I am going to, uh, skirt up around here.

here. Make note if you made the save because if you were success, if you successfully save against turn to stone, you are immune for 24 hours. Or if, or if you are able to overcome it. So some way you can get a chance. You'll have a chance. I'm a little stiff. Yes. So basically you will have at the end of your turn, you get to make another save or you're petrified or you. Okay, so I didn't pass it. I just didn't get fucked. You just didn't immediately turn to stone. Okay, it's slowly turning you to stone. Yeah, you're like half-affective. And if you can do something to unpetrify,

if you can stop making Mary a stone called Steve Austin, he will also be immune to it. I literally have no idea that. I'm sorry. I think we have to kiss him. Leave it to do it. I mean, I guess, I mean, Rhode else wants to do it. I guess I can do it.

I'll take one for the team. This is in the book, and this was in the book. We'll guess, I promise. I'll run up the side of where Briggsie had been kind of snatched from. Oh, good, Bricksey. Oh, spit about it. And I will fling out from my hand, and you'll see kind of like these wicker,

like a wicker spike fly towards the abbot. The Archbishop. The Archbishop. You can call me. and Abbott if you want the Archbishop sorry his middle name is Costello what a great middle name Archbishop Lavelleau yeah and so okay so this this kind of wicker's mic will fly out from my fingertips towards him not to be a 23 to hit that hits okay so he will take 10 piercing damage and then as it hits him

it will start to shatter and explode and you'll kind of see like a tinge of brown mold from within the wicker that will cause some cold damage. So the reason I didn't ask about this, it does affect the target

and anyone within five feet, but because of the size of the target, I came from this direction, hoping maybe it doesn't hit them because he's such a large bastard. Oh, please. If anyone within five feet of him, it says the target

in each creature within five feet, must say, oh, I'm sorry, that you would have to do a dexterity. Well, I automatically fail. Yeah, but I mean like, what am I taking? What does he get? But Andy, you can undo that damage because you didn't hit him because you were paralyzed immediately. Okay. So you, you.

I'll keep it since fairness so happily just dolling it back out. So can you read that to me again? Okay. The target and each creature within five feet of it must succeed on a deck saving throw or take 2D6 fold damage. Okay, so Briggs's going to fail automatically because he's inside of it. Well, I'm not even...

Here me off. I'm inside of it. He's within negative five feet. He's within negative five feet, though. You see what I mean? But it's within five feet of the creature. What's the move? It's ice knife is what it is.

It's refavored denopulation. Oh, hold on, hold on. What are you targeting? Are you targeting a creature? Are you targeting a point on the ground? I think it's a creature ice knife. I think you have to target a creature. Yeah.

And really? I like your head. It would, it would, explode and go around his mass to hit them. It's a giant explosion. Trust me. Feelichies is it. Okay.

I think that does make sense that if Briggsie is swallowed, he would have full cover. So it will hit Arias and your grim. That it does ask a serious question of, do I still take damage while Petropine? Yeah, yeah. I don't see why you wouldn't.

I don't know. Petturine. Let's try and I won't do that too again. Hold on, I need to read this. I think it should be based on the... Attack rules against the creature have advantage. Yeah, then I can take damage. You automatically fail, strengthen decks.

Oh, I knew that one. But you do have resistance to all damage, so you are resistant. And you're immune to poison and disease. Oh, silver lines. So. Okay, so you are immune to some damage type, just not cold.

Yeah. Okay. It's truly good luck. Seven. Seven. What do I? So you would take three. I didn't roll you.

I didn't roll it. I think I'd do 15. And he got a 17 for his decks. You all fail. No. That's long. 16 is for 10. 16.

You, I got a 17. Sweet spot. Not sure I love my friend. Wait. How much? I mean, why don't even have boss fights and we can kill each other? I just don't want to be the one to die.

How much damage should I take? Seven. Nice. Yep. Sorry. Yep. Does he take it? This is really aimed up for it?

So he does take the piercing. Yeah, he did. The 10 piercing turn? No, no, no. No, just the one. Not you. Yep. Yep.

Yeah. Good luck, buddy. We haven't even finished round one of combat, and they're already. demoralized. Yeah, this is not going to be in 40s way that we drafted up our plan. I really thought that logic was going to work out for me.

This is not the strongest party. Dare you to the night hell is witch. Um, not you witch. Yeah. What an evil witch. None of the unintentionally. Yeah. Do you be fair?

Dary is done more damage in the middle night. Not mentally. It's worse my heart. That's fair. Um, I, I would burst into mists and I would charge this MF and guy I don't have to go very far because I'm just touching him but you don't have to do anything you can just be position if you want all right part part damage is shovel part damage is the vengeance of my ancestors if it matters

it might you never know oh it's a natural one okay oh we're we're we're roll a different dice yeah I'm gonna roll a different dice oh yeah awesome Much better. Like 25. Perfect. Yep. He's only, I will just say it, so you guys know, he's only immune

to fire and poison. So. Shocker. Okay, I hit him twice. Yes. Let me get back to my. You take nine points of fire damage. Petrop is a hero.

And you need, oh, you also need to make a Constitution saving throw for me to see if you turn to stone. We're twisting this way past. Do I, do this damage? Tell me the damage. first, no technically, just tell me the damage beforehand. Okay, it would be 28.

So I'll write it down, that way we know, whether he takes it or not. We're twisting. Just don't look at that, swatter, a little. I would never, do it. Oh, you're gone, baby. Are you a shy? I think it's like a 24.

Yes, you pass. You're good. So you passed by so much he turns to stone. And just remember, you are immune to this now, so I don't have to worry about it for you. so I don't have to worry about it for you. Actually, let me write that down. So Jericho's immune, Lethika's immune, right?

As long as this fight doesn't last more than 24 in the game hours. How many rounds of combat is that? Like thousands. Thousands. Did you roll at the end of your turn? Kels? No. Oh, the Kahn.

600 an hour, 600 rounds an hour. Moly 2.2. Okay, so you pass. Okay, and I do not have to roll that again. And you do not have to roll that again. again. Okay. And you're 14,000 rounds.

So that's still two people that I get to torture, so that's fine. And so you took the damage, as I told you, the nine damage. Oh, I didn't know. Nine fire damage from attacking him while within his fire aura. And then he took the 28 damage. He is, you slash into him, but he is, you see one of the heads has a clear, a smile on his face as it is still relishing. in the taste of a Briggsie.

The taste of... You can't enjoy that. Is that your full turn? Yeah, but with that clip at the end. Oh, yeah, sure of it. After that observation, too. With that, it is the terrain action before Briggs gets to do anything.

And so, I need you all to roll, what did I make? Wisdom saving throw for me, please. Me too? Everybody? Everybody. All right, wisdom is where I'm good. Let's see if I can fuck this one. Yes.

It has to do with the terrain, like the actual room that you're in. The DC is 13. Oh, go on, that's it. Golden. I feel. 11, I think. I need you roll a D6 for me. Anybody else fail?

Nope. Nope. I'm having you roll in the overwhelming sin table. Oh God. You feel envy overwhelm you. Oh God. You feel extremely jealous of what other party members are holding, and you're fed up with your current, your shitty current items.

You are going to use your action to drop what you're holding. An attempt to take what nearest ally is holding. You may move up to your movement to get to them, and it is an athletics content. Well, you can just have my stone sword, I guess. I would be, not now, I would have instantly failed. It's a strength saving throw, right? It's an athletics contest. Wait, so where I threw it?

I will say it will be an actual contest between the two of you. Does throw my shovel? Yes, you drop your shovel. Are you to testify until six rows? We're going to find out. I was going to ask if I could review a saving throw, but it sounds like I have to be healed.

But anyway, please roll. Stupid shovel. No good for anything but Dicker Grays. What? The climbing sword. What's the thing? I'm doing fire damage. It's a way cooler.

Is it also stone? I'm just curious. Yes. It's been a stone. The flames are stone, though. Looks really fucking sick. It looks like cool stone flames. Wow.

I rolled pretty high. You said athletics? Yep. Yeah, I got a 26. Three. You immediately drop. This is using your reaction, so making sure you know that.

You drop. your fling your shovel as you rush towards Marius and you attempt to pull his sword away from him, but he's petrified. The sword is stone. It is the sword in the stone. It is infused to his hand. You are so envious.

You attempt to rip his arm out of its socket. Let go to diamond me. So yes, you are there. Get out this, sword to me, let it go. Can this handbrae go? It can. It can. That is physically anything that could happen,

but I'm very strong. I'm very strong. I'm very strong. And that, I love that. That is, yeah, that is love. The amount. We've fallen in, fighting. Briggs it, you're up.

Is there a die move that I can do? Just like die or what? Would you like to just die? No, I wouldn't like to die, but at this point. You are in here, so actually you will take some damage. because you are in here. Oh, Flamora, I think is like, it's within, I think it's within melee range.

Just put on the start of your turn. It's within five feet on the start of your turn. You can't miss. I mean, just shoot them. Can you blink? You might speed you up. I have to be able to see this one linking to him. Eight points in your minds.

Eight points of fire damage is what you take. Just shoot you on his ass. Pack them to pieces. And then you, yeah, you can be basically attack the inside of him. It's really all that you can do. If you have thunderlayer, that's at the highest level you can.

Yeah, fucking, yeah. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah. We know what he's immune to? You know that he's immune to fire and poison. Poison. But not necessarily the poison condition,

because those are two different things. That'll be great with Mary is standing right there. Oh. Just do it. I can be put back together. I can be put back together. I'm very sure. Strong. Am I restrained?

I believe you are swallowed, blind, and restrained. Okay, so I'm blinded. Yeah. And I'm swallowed. Yeah. And you're restrained. What if you put you together and your dick was your, like a finger and one of your fingers was your dick. I'd be upset.

I don't mean, that just seems to twist and just stone. I don't know how I can answer that question. I'm going to like with my left town. Oh, crazy. I'm gonna hexbleeds curse him. And then in my right hand, I'm gonna summon the cutlass and just summon it into his flesh. Yeah.

Just try to. You can't. You can't. Yeah. And so he has hex plays curse. I think being swallowed should be auto hit. That's sweet. You need the leverage.

Twist it if it doesn't have him. Oh boy. He's a crocker. He can just death roll with it inside of him. Much better. That's a credit. Oh! What?

Yes. That's better. Yay. You summoned a curse. Let's go. I'm just saying it. Let's do it. That's a crit.

Oh! What the hell? I should have called it. I don't know why I didn't say anything. Thanks, Mr. Crossroads. It's a good one. The 19's pretty good. I definitely want a fan art of Dixie's turning and Mr. Cross with the three behind him and pushing it.

Into the gargoyle hand. Once a good thing, I'm just at a rift. When I discovered a rift, When I discovered my crit, I almost failed high school. Ew. Ew. You. He's not allowed to say that.

He's not allowed to say that. 45 points to . Wow! This doesn't make him spit you up. I was going to say, he's got it. Don't say. He's got it. Don't let him at this point.

Hold on the right. Just alligator death roll. death hole, just piercing deeper. So I'll fully let you know how lucky it is that worked out that way, because any time he has a creature swallowed, he's under the effects of the Haste spell. And it was about to be,

he was getting close to his turn. Holy, well, but he took a certain amount of damage from within his stomach. Thank you, Jack. So he has to roll a constitution saving from. The DC is really high. I don't know why I did this, I should have made a lower.

Oh, it comes up. I rolled a six. There you go. Oh. So I don't, I mean, I know it's not possible. No. So he fails. So he, you watch as all of a sudden you see the cutlass

pierce through the belly of this creature and Briggsie slice and slice and you see a chunk of the Archbishop fall out of his stomach. Very poetic. As Briggs, he climbs his way out or starts to as the stomach starts to contract from the pain and you watch as he sucked back into the stomach

and thrown up onto the floor in front of you as he vomits the creature up. So you're gonna come out. Because he vomited a creature up, it ends his haste. haste and he loses his next turn. Can I use my reaction? Yes.

You're falling, Tostin. Am I prone or am I standing? I'm gonna say you're prone, I didn't write it down here. I'm saying you're prone. I'm gonna lay it on your feet. For flavor, I wanna crawl up and sit my hand through the hole that the trunk lift and pull my hat out and put it in a June style.

Yeah, so you can do that. With that, it is Monsters 1, which is the layer action. Can entities do layers? actions when they lose haste and are paralyzed? It's your part. It's debatable. Yeah, whatever you want. I've never thought about that.

I would say, I would argue yes. Okay. Suppose it would depend on how you imagine. Well, no, because it comes from them though. Well, it depends. Sometimes like, because it's not the, I was gonna say it's not the terrain action, which is coming from the room.

I'm of the opinion, if I were in the DM chair, actions and the legendary actions are actions and that if a, for whatever reason, a boss can't take an action, that it can be able to take led to- Why don't you just tell us what it is you're thinking about doing and we'll tell you what I'm convinced. I say do whatever Nikki wants to do.

Whatever logically makes sense to you. It's almost your birthday. You can be big, bad, evil today. Come on. Jazzy-Kee. I, chat, what do you think? Oh, Jesus. I would rule, I would have been my initial rule.

The layer takes the action. And so, as the layer shakes, You see the huge open portion of the room above you, where when the archbishop grew into this huge, monstrous form, he broke apart the ceiling, the area in which Mother Midnight flew up towards the cathedral. And you're looking up, seeing all of this rubble and everything else as you hear the sounds of stone moving

as the lair casts acts of the apostles. And you see six demonic gargoyles swoop down, one on each of you. Well, was that ax as in like a hackax or axes in like act? Wow, you're a fucking asshole. Okay? I clearly pronounced the seat and the T. Why are you sitting there? It's getting me out of my seat.

I'm sorry, Derek. Oh, garsh. Yeah, I said acts. And you're right. I clearly did not pronounce the C and the T. Okay. So yes, the gargling. are going to swoop in on you, one on each of you.

They're all going to make their attacks. Bum, b'am, b'u-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b. Are I still so disgusting disgusting that he is dis- D'an. Natural 20 on Lethaca. Is that a fiend? Yes. A small bit of repeat.

What is that mean? You're at a disadvantage to strike me, to attack me. So you can roll again, and maybe you get another natural 20, but, you know, you can't happen. You can't go back to a glombooria. Three. Ah! Lethika's not going down for another minute.

You got you're making you feel better to be the one against me's advantaged. So you get that one back. I'm nervously watching Lethika playing my banjo trying to keep her alive. I had a tarasque burst through the wall and kills Lenthika. Thanks, Kimma.

That's a way to solve our problems. I was like, oh, very long. Seriously, what's a Sardy? Barron, that was also going to miss on you. There's going to be a hit on Jericho. There's no way. And that is a 22 on Briggsie. Ooh.

What's the over under that these guys do six damage? Over. I'm taking the over. Yeah, over, right. Definitely over. I have to shield it. I have to. I would.

Plus it'll last. A while. I guess I just win. Yeah. Yeah. It'll protect you. And you are, why am I looking at you?

you. What are your... Oh, I'm in family. You are. Natural 20. Gotta give it up. Gotta give it up. Thank you, Ronan Fratis.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I just realized that they have two attacks, so I'm going to roll for each of you again. Son of a gun. Well, it's definitely going to miss you. Wow.

It's going to miss you too. It's going to miss Jericho. Good thing you feel, though. 22. You're good? Yes. I got it. Both of those miss you and a natural one.

This die is over. Where's my other one? So I just got the one crick? Yeah. Oh, let me roll that crest. It's a big name of stone right now. I need you to make a wisdom saving throw. Sure.

Which will be funny because you're stone. 20. Eight points of damage. So I take four. Yes. And you do not suffer an effect of the overwhelming sin table. Sweet. So, well, thank you, Gargoyles.

You've been super helpful this round, and I'm so thankful. Oh, and one of them did hit Jericho. Oh, gosh, oh! You're gonna take five points of piercing damage. And I need to make a wisdom saving throw. I'm so violently trying to get this sword from Marius that I'm just like,

I'm getting rid of it. That's gonna be a hot 11. Oh, perfect. Can you roll a D6 for me, please? Oh, no. I'm gonna roll my Livid and Sarnax dice. Oh. You also feel envy.

You're extremely jealous of what somebody else is holding, so you're gonna drop your current stuff. Lots of God. And you're going to use your action to move towards your ally and try and steal their stuff. I don't have to move after I'm in touch. You keep saying chakram or chakram or chakram.

I don't care. Give it me! Don't, help bag! You drop your banjo, right? Yeah, the banjo is on the ground, yep. Put a marker down. I roll the natural one for my athletics. Not standing.

Very strong. Hold on, hold on, athletics, that will be two. Very strong. Is that a contest? Yeah, it's bad. Yeah. So if you have plus zero, you can fail this. Can you get two?

I have a plus zero. Oh no. This will be the ultimate. My God. Oh, God. Let's the beginning. Circle! Stop, let go of my purse, you asshole.

That's my word. I don't know you. That's suffering's head. Oh, stop! Jeez! Damn it! My band goes on the garage. And so that is the layer action.

Oh, this is fun. This is fun. Very quickly. Thank you. And he doesn't let us turn. Good grief. Oh, yeah. So much is happening.

None of it good. Dark lady, through me, show us why you are called the mistress of pain. And I will summon my spiritual weapon. Okay, all right, here we go. We're going to get his attraction here. Let's do that. I'm going to put it right.

It's not a colorful. Well, yeah, everything's shadows with me. Surprise and arrive, Welcome, welcome. Yeah. Welcome to the final I can see Derek alive. Melee spell attack. For those at home that can't see

if that's dirt's a weapon. It's a shadow. Wherever there appears to be void is where his weapon is. Does a 21 hit? Yeah. Okay. Do I need to roll for damage on the gargoyles? If you want to kill a gargoyle, yeah. I just didn't know if it was one of those whooping goops.

Oh. Like power. So what I'm saying is, are you killing one gar. Like what? You're just fighting one Gargoy. I'm attacking the one that's next to me. Oh, then no, it's a minion. So it has one hit point.

That's what I'm asking. Yeah, sorry. I thought you were fighting the Pono. Yes. And I was saying, yes, you do have to. No, I take care of the gargoyle, booping and goop style. And then I will run over here and with my action, I will reach out and swirling shadows will collect my hand

and before blasting out in a cool manner, you know, just really flavorful. I'm feeling daring today, aren't we? Both of those gentlemen need to make a Constitution saving throw, DC 16. Mike, behind the table are my other character's dice. Can you just pass those down? Oh, me?

I don't care, I just rolled a two and a three. For whatever reason, these die are not working. I'm with you. I feel that. Yeah. Sometimes you just got to warm up a little. So I word of radiance them both. Yeah, so they both die.

I turn to the rest of the group and see what is happening. It's a nightmare. Kiss it together. We will take care of Marius after we take care of the big one. Oh, shit. I'm going to take care of Marius. I'm going to move. Hold it together.

I use my reaction and look out. I'm like more skeleton than zombie at this moment. What? I love him. I was looking for the car. Oh, my, bovine. I start running for, I mean, we're in slow words. I start running towards, uh, fucking brigsie.

Jericho's your jaw. Your jaw's like flapping. Missing a skeleton. That's amazing. I guess I will move. I guess I'll move here. And that'll be the conclusion of my turn. And now it's, uh,

Exhaucco boy. Now it's Jericho's time. Oh, it's Jericho. Oh, yeah. I'm going to look at Briggs and I'll say There once was a crook who went to see And the name of the crog was Captain Briggsie And fucking healing word of third level

Let me see how this works with your sin I have to try and remember In which case you might try to steal the cutlets next Give me that tongue I actually do me a fire cutlets! Oh no You know, no, I'll say it's just the one-time thing. Oh, then you're going.

Wonderful, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, no, so you can do that. So one of my two third-level spells laws to not do much. Seven, nine, ten, plus 15 points of healing. Nice. Nice.

Big deal. Big heel. And then I'll, I'll look at. Oh, Briggsy, I do need you to make a Constitution-saving throat. to see if you get turned to stone. Hopefully your con is a lot of playing. I'm not because it happened so far, going not gonna undo anything that's happened

because of it, but at this point. I will use my free object interaction and make my band jump though. Better? Better, you're good, yeah, good. 13? Oh, boy. No, you do begin to turn to stone. But you don't have, you're not. But you roll again at the end of your turn,

so why do you roll again? My turn? No, that happened at the start of your turn. Oh. So you need to roll again for the end of your turn. You need a different fucking die here. We're doing this one. Come on your room here.

Oh. Come on, look at. Come on, look at. Come on, oh. No, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not. I'm twisting it. Yep. What's the. I'm twisting it.

There we go, I passed. I don't know. Well, yeah, I guess you're twisting it, so. And this is why I did that shit nice bow. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you, it's like the time

that Sarnax didn't lose 8,000. Because there were 8,000 fireballs when first was a fireball. So yes, Jericho. Are you finished with your turn? Yeah, well, I've healed that. I'm going to look at the small gargoyle

and say, you're losing to a bird. And I'm going... As I catch mine sliver. That was number one. Okay. I thought it was on your next turn you roll for it. Would you like to still be turning to stone then? No, I'm just saying, did I have to make two rolls

just now for my one turn? That's what I did for Farron. Oh, okay, God, just making sure. So I could have done it wrong, but I'm trying to be consistent with my failures. Fair enough. They're not failing. So you're immune.

Yeah, I mean, if you don't want to be immune and you want to be slowly turning stone, that's fine. So he's an intelligent saving throw for Mines Sliver for the little mini garbler. These are Kima's dice. Who is voice. Natural one, Kimma's dice. So this one, voiced by Jason Alexander, will die.

That's voiced by Jason Siegel. I like Jason Segal. But it's not spelled the way you think it's spelled. It's spelled like the bird. I'm going to... Seagull. I'm going to basically go this way. Actually,

yeah, I'm done. It's his turn. Who's within five feet? of him? Really? Many. Oh yeah. I'm also stone.

But I am within five feet of him. Yeah. So even though he is paralyzed, he still has a fiery aura that's whipping around him. That doesn't stop. So everyone who's within five feet of him is going to take one point of fire damage. But I'm not resistant to that. No. So I'm taking the full one.

Yeah. I mean, yeah. Slowly whittled it away here. I think one point is, yeah. How are you looking? And that's his. turn. I'm shocked

that sort hasn't come out of his palm because it's covered in my blood. It is chewed up. Yeah. You're going to be

uncomfortable. I'm stone. Do I just repeat a saving throw? That's my turn. That's your turn. We can't solve that problem. You're dead now. I just want you to know that.

There's no tool in this belt that will solve that problem for you. It sounds like user error. Everything that I could possibly aside give myself. No, great. Lesser resto, no. Lesser resto doesn't work on presto on on

Petra. We don't know if it's special petrify. I guess we will find out. Anyway, what do you do on the special? I'm going to drag a cat's with a moment. Farron. It's your turn. Yes, it is.

And. I'm trying. Let me know for her, right? Just actually coming. I am going to look at Grigsey having been just vomited up on the floor and looking like vomit. I also realize I failed to do legendary actions

for this entire thing, so that was an entire round of legendary actions by waste it. Just keep out forgetting. Well, he's exhausted now. He wasn't last turn. He was also hasted. You said, we're warming up. You're warming up. We're all warming up.

Some of us are not, but that's okay. I agree with one. So of us are stung cold. That's good. That's exactly right. Sorry, Kels, what are you doing? I am going to slam my staff down on the ground and from the point where it hits, wicker and moss and lichen will stretch across the floor to this kind of area right here.

And then shoot up the legs of the gargoyle and the bishop. Oh, you said not to attack us this time? Yeah, you don't know. Yeah, you're stowed. You can possibly figure out. So each of them must make a constitution's saving throw. She runs past you and you feel a hoof quickly to the cargoal fails. For you?

There are more of my dice back there. There's like a lot. Just keep them rolling. If you can just pass both of the, yeah, my iris dice, fat, dix. There's a lot of flight left. We are okay. Both of them failed. Okay.

So the minions dead. Yes. So what you will see is that that vine start to constrict and suck some of the life force out of them as I cast Wither and Bloom. Oh, that sounds very odd. I think I've heard of that. He will take 10 necrotic damage, and then you will see the vine start to crawl up Briggsie as well, but it will start to bloom small flowers as it gets to the top, and you can roll two of your hit dice. What? A real? Oh, wow.

Yeah, two hit dice to heal. And... Dude, that's pretty sick. Plus my... That's so good. Plus my spellcasting ability modifier, which is what? Please tell me I hit this. Let's see if I want it to kill you guys.

You're gonna get huge heel. I get two. Plus five? Yeah. Two hit dice plus five. Is that plus five? No, probably. Just, I think it's just two dice.

That's pretty big. That's amazing. Does it give me a short rope? That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's awesome. That's pretty fun.

That's very good. You're definitely not as dead as you were a few moments. And then you'll just see all the plan. Just crumble away to the ground. Perfect. You're crumpled. Yeah, I'm not ending. You are not dealing with overwhelming sin right now.

Oh, I don't know what came over myself. I'm sorry. You would have to move back to your spot, pick up your thing. It's going to be like this. I'll run back over to my shovel. You have to step over, Briggsie. I'll step over Briggsie and a bunch of mines.

I'm sorry. What has been going on around here? I'll pick up my shovel and just cleave back into the Archbishop. I suppose that you pick up the chunk and ride it like Legolas riding the shield down instead of stairs. But he's only going like 10 feet and over Briggs. So he's like, oh, sorry.

Oh, this is cool. in the movies that made it look so easy. I don't want to have. You lose the 11-hit point. You're at advantage against him, right? Because he dropped haste. What luck. Isn't that what it is?

No, you just know. Oh. Yeah, I don't think he gets, you just get two attacks. Okay. Should have lied to me. One hits. Uh, one hits. For sure.

Why you've been rolling so poorly? I'm really frustrated. Are you recklessly attacked? You're recklessly attacked. I've been considering pretending I got ridden. I can't. All right, I'll do a reckless attack.

I'm like, this is real bad. I don't find your, you, talk to you. I got it. If it makes you feel better, I'm having a lot. Ooh, cool, okay. Thanks, girls. Well, we're, this is vengeance. I like when we win.

Just think of it as vengeance that we're getting. Two hits. Okay. Nice. Oh, yeah. Big money? Oh, yeah. Big money too. I don't know what they're saying,

they look like a fair team. It looks from here. They look respectable. They look respectable. 27. 27 points of vengeance damage. damage. It's not a 10, it's 0.1. All right. You slice into him. Blood splatters across your face as your shovel. The side of it,

almost like a blade just slides into his flesh. And he is completely immobile as he takes the full brunt of the damage. His faces, though, still looking around hungrily. And then it is just like we had talked about. It is the terrain action. And so I need every single person to roll wisdom saving throw. No. What are this gonna fail?

Oh, oh, 14. 14, you. 21. 15. Put a twist down for me, will you? If this is how it smells. I bet this is how it smells.

That's pretty good. If I die, I got a 14. Because last time it was 13, unless it goes up two. Or it could be something else. That's fair. That's fair. We stay too ahead of the curve. Whiz, you said, right? Yes.

That is a 14. 14. How many people had 14s? What did everybody else have? 21. 15. You all passed. Oh, oh. You scared the shit out of me, Nicky.

You all failed. You all fail. My fuck. Rockamole. Briggsie. Mechanically, I'm standing up for this, but for flavor, I'm going to stay on the ground. Attack him laying down on the ground.

Kind of swipe around. And so I guess I'll roll twice. You're going to take five points of fire damage. That's probably what's going to happen. Yeah, you're good. Why would you see that? How many points? Five points of fire damage.

You didn't give me any fire damage? I didn't. And you were two hits? I hit him twice. Seven points of fire damage. Thank you for maintaining game stay. Yes, thank you. I appreciate that.

I'm staying in a false. Always, not 70. Not 70. He's got like no hit points left. 15. Oh, yeah, definitely. 21. Oh, April Fool's login.

39 points of images. Okay. It's actually not bad at all. He said 39? That's a shit time. 39 points of damage level. What? What level are you?

I roll like max damage. You're the only one doing damage this guy. Whoa, okay. He's doing pretty well for once. You're doing the... Yeah, against the west. Oh, he's like seven damage. No, I did no damage.

You know, he didn't get him. No, he went petrified, so I had to take the damage away. You, son of this. He smithing him, dude. Oh, that's condition. No. That's fine. That's fine.

That's fine. Oh. And the rest of my turn, I'm gonna crawl away. And I will see. Well, the guy stole down, I think. He can take an opportunity attack if he wants. Wouldn't he have gotten up on his turn? Who put him down? How do you down?

I can't remember. So he dropped haste with Briggsie. Oh, they threw up. And so he lost his turn. lost his turn, so his turn is over. He should be not paralyzed anymore, right? So if he wants to make an opportunity attack, he can, theoretically. Yeah.

Well, then he will, because I'm fucking this up real bad. Just to make sure he doesn't like, ah! That's going to like crawling away. He is going to make a claw attack on fire. Yeah, you're good? You will be disadvantaged. He'll be at disadvantage. Why?

Yeah, because of the vengeance of my ancestors. Yeah, you're golden. You're golden. The first one hit, this one's a natural one. There it is. Yeah. Thanks, ancestors.

Can I see my tongue on the ground? Ah! A bunch of ghosts and ghouls are like, don't look over here. We make combat fun. We don't we? You know, and since I'm forgetting all of this stuff, He is up now.

He's going to take a layer action. He is going to look towards your grim because fuck you. And he is going to try and make a claw attack against you. Which is regular. Yes. No. It would be at advantage. My miss.

Even better. 20. Hits. Perfect. And so he's going to do. I finally get to do damage. Oh, fuck. He's going to do eight points of slashing damage.

You are grappled. Because you're grappled, he also gets to try to devour you. What? But if we just like, is that still at advantage? Anything, like, well, I don't know, is it just like an attack? Because I recklessly it's just an attack.

Yeah, yeah, just let a rep. Eat him. That hits. So he is going to devour you. So you are going to take. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Can I react to this?

You do have a reaction. Yeah. Because it was just your turn. 15 points of piercing damage, and you are swallowed, so you are blinded and restrained. Really? Oh, hold on, hold on. Brinks, brink.

I'll say, oh, look. And I'm covered in saliva and fire, and I'm seeing, you know, it's like, you know, attack on Titan or the Titan is a little fair. I think about to eat your crossroads. You're all right, crossroads. You're all the hell, good now.

And re-roll your attack. With my bad luck feature from the Master of Crossroads. Ooh. Oh, I know what. Uh-huh. 23. Oh, nice shot. Nice try.

So I'll just keep the 15 then. Yeah. All right. It was a good job. Yeah, it was working. It was absolutely working. Oh, but hold on. I still steal the luck.

and give it to someone that I want. I get to choose any creature I can see within rain. I look at myself. Oh, I give myself advantage. Of course you do. This ain't gonna be good. You don't even have to roll on the overwhelming sin table. You're greed.

Done. Done. And so that's his reaction. All right, I'm downed inside of him. You're down inside of him? I'm downed inside of him, yeah. You're unconscious inside of them. Oh, yeah, yeah.

What's his name? Punch me really hard in the face before we got here. You go. You go hit me like twice. I don't know. No, we had a short rest in the bell tower. Yes, you did. They should have been able to hit dice yourself back.

Yeah, do pooh-de-boop. I'm trying to make sure I have. If the, I performed a song of rest. It was very good. I was going to call on my life. I was gonna say, I thought you did. I performed this. I mean, that might have been after the short rest,

to be honest, I was like pretty fucked up. I don't know. I mean, well, I didn't use any hit dice. I remember, I recall, I didn't use any, but I was at full health anyway, so I don't know, I didn't make any hits from Hugo. Well, you're grim kind of engaged Hugo. He did, yeah.

We absolutely did. I don't do it. Oh, he didn't be first. No, we didn't take any, he was in electric damage. Regardless. It is now the lair action. Goodbye over.

A darkness, mild fun. I usually miss this thing. I don't know. I don't know. I would say you're lucky that this is going to happen after you fall to zero because he's casting midnight mass. A horrific aura washes over the cathedral until the next layer action falling to zero hit points automatically triggers a failed death save.

All death saves are made at disadvantage until the next layer action. Oh, wow. Does he also monologue for 90 minutes with that stuff? Hold you to new the answers. Oh, man. Life is just like biology. I think it's spirits. So profound.

You know, I was going to say you have one HB. Because of relentless. Oh, my God, you're an ork. No, you're an or not a half-ork. You're the worst or. Have you a storytelling flavor? Yeah, in there, man. Yeah, no, I'm just aggressive.

And I have a powerful build. I will say, I know you saw these. I will say for the sake that I did say there's a huge hole in his stomach that Briggs he made. So you can see him. It's just not big enough for you to crawl out of.

I love to help. I can't crawl. I'm a conscious. Well, that's, yes, that's also true. But for the sake of people who have the ability to do things, oh, that's very nice of you, Nicky. He is visible.

to you. However, he is going to use a lair action and make a claw attack against Briggsie who's within 10 feet of them. No, he's not. What do you mean? I feel Marius is just going to hand. Oh, sorry. It's Farron that I was looking at. She's technically 15. Yeah, she's 15. How is she 15? He's 15. I'm right there, but I made of stone. Marius is there. Marius is there. Yeah, no, it's just areas. I think he can only just punch himself. I don't sure that's how that works, Derek. He can digest really hard.

He is going to use a lair action to... That's 20 feet. He's going to use sting. He's going to take his scorpion tail. Oh, actually. Is anybody within five feet of each other? No. He's going to use his sting attack,

and he is going to whip towards Farron, because she's within 20 feet of him and attempt to sting her. That checks out? Don't. He's gonna use a sting attack? Yeah. 19.

Don't stand. Don't stand so. I love that song. Don't stand so close to me. Within 20 feet of him. Within 20 feet of the beach. Everybody fucking run. It's spread out, man.

Slor means of X. 14 points of piercing damage plus three points of poison damage. And I need you make a constitutional. saving throw. He said 10, say it again, 14 plus what? Oh, I don't remember.

What did I say, chat? 14 plus 10 plus... What, no, I didn't say 14 plus 10? It was, I know the poison was three pieces of poison damage. Okay, it was 14 plus three then. Okay, there you go. Oh, yes. Three damage.

And what was it a... Constitution saving throw. Calm? Calm, you say? 18. You succeed, so you're not poisoned for a minute. Oh, thank goodness. And so it's left the concern.

Oh, that's why you didn't want to do it to me. Huh? Yeah, you're into poison. I was like, why I should be so reluctant? Wait, I am poisoned. You're not, you succeeded. You avoided it. You take the damage, you just didn't.

You're not in a poisoned condition. Lethaca. I'll turn to Jericho. Save your organ. I'll turn to Briggs. I'll see. Save you over. I'll see Fair.

The boys. I am feeling a lot of pain seeing Marius, but I can see through this hole, this cap, that there is an unconscious York Grimm. You see the tombstone protruding out. Just the tip. If something says it's a bonus action to cast, can I use an action to cast it?

Yes. No. No. It's only a bonus action. Generally not. You know, we've never really discussed that. Does it look like I can get my hands into the hole to touch your room? Yes.

Then I'll do that. I will run forward without saying a word, and I will take one point of fire damage. I will jump in. As you jump into the fiery aura that swirls around him. And I will grab the hands of unconscious your grim and speak a quiet prayer to my goddess. Casting Cure Wounds.

Nice. And I'll cast Cure Wounds. I'll use my bonus action as that happens to have spiritual weapons fly in, just spinning illusory, but very deadly chakram, slams into him. So I'll make an attack, and that's going to be a

16 to hit. To hit him? Oh, no, his AC's 18, so that is not hit. So that misses, and I'll roll cure wounds, but I'm basically almost like halfway into this wound trying to grab Yorgrim's hands and try to get him to wake up. And you will because you are going to be healed. Some healing. some anti-damage.

Nice. That's gonna be... ...solid. Nine. Nine points of my healing. Very nice. Jericho. I am going to... I don't know if he's going to try it.

Oh. Oh. Actually, he's gonna use another legendary action. And he's gonna make a claw attack. No, after you heal, because it has to be after Lethicus' turn. And then he's going to attempt to claw and devour leithylus. the cut. It disavage.

I'm a dating concentration. I'm thinking about achieving in my heart. Oh, is that con? So I have to take the lower one, right? Because the second

one was a natural 20. So 14 plus 8. Is that 14 plus 8? Is that going to hit you? That's a buttload. Okay, so he does hit you. You've been clawed. You just got clawed.

You're going to take eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13, 14 points of slashing damage. And then he is going to attempt to devour you. Is this also a disadvantage? If it's an attack. It is. He's going to fail.

Wait, hold on. Eating the claws. 15? 15. Okay. I just had a check. 7 plus, yeah, 8 is 15. I do not have a thing.

I can do bad. Okay, so the devour doesn't work, but he does hit you. And you were restrained in one of his hands. I started to reverse time with my mind beans. What ability is that? It's an ability to be so hard. I'm going to look at Marius and say, pluck my banjo as I can concentrate on what the color.

It'll say, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, damn here. Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, no more rock, dampier. And I'm going to cast a spell magic on Marius to attempt to end a magical effect. I'm gonna use a twist of dread to see if I can devour Lethaca. We're gonna make it. Yeah, you did, because I rolled a five, so it was her for this one.

Doing it our way. Washes over Marius as I attempt to dispel the magic and return Marius to flash. You attempt to do this and absolutely nothing happens. Damn it! And then you hear a crack. as Marius completely turns to dust. It was getting in the shatter. I wouldn't be surprised.

No, but it does look like that for a second as all of a sudden surrounding Marius is nothing but a cloud of dusty, almost smoke as it hangs in the air. As you slowly start to see the glint of gold as light hits his armor, as the stone falls to the ground. Thanks, Mike.

And Marius, you are no longer petrified. Perfect. And you know what? I'm not against the wall. I'm just gonna back up just a little bit more. We all three of that had that. I just didn't think it was gonna work. I didn't either.

Guess our assholes. Best support. I'm the real support. They're doing no damage to this fellow. I literally am like, I wonder how long, I bet this will be the only boss fight that Andy would literally just sit. I was ready.

I was peace with it. I know. I really commend you on that. Spell manage. Suggested it. I don't think that works on Petrified, so. It's magic. There's nothing in this tool kit

besides the spell magic, but I don't know. There's nothing to dispel. The spell is what I will say is you're thinking about it from a meta perspective that you know that spell. I have it specifically written in your greater restoration or some other spell or ability that can get rid of magics. That's fine. Okay.

And so if you had thought about it from the perspective of someone who doesn't know, what that means. I wouldn't have changed it in my turn for a little second. I just don't think that's true. That's fair. That was an arcane decision about whether or not he was under the influence of a spell currently holding him stone or whether or not he's just stone now. I will continue my song, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, to go up to go off you, up, bar to inspiration. What D is my...

What does my... What does that do? You get to add a D8 to something or whatever. Yeah, D8, one D8, no. So, you get to add a D8. Has that inspiration and you organize an inspiration. Just one time? Yes.

Yep. You have 10 minutes. You have it from the basic limit. I can add it to anything? Like if I wanted to add it to damage? I think so. Yes, with the new rules you can. Damage or healing.

Just about anything. Yeah. And so with that, it is his turn. Oh, boy. I can't, I can't really. He is going to do. going to... Assume no longer rock.

He is going to shift towards Farron and Briggsie to be within 10 feet of both of them. Why couldn't he? Do you mean this way? Farron and Marius here? He should be able to move closer. Yeah, he could be able to move.

He will take opportunity attack should you choose to do that, but he's got more than enough elf to handle it. And he's fucking hungry. I'd like to get to go here. Well, hold on. He first, he's going to make a clock. First, first he's going to make the claw attack against Marius in 40 minutes.

Yeah, there you guys. Go for a little bit. Natural. Flayy! Okay. Yeah, you got it. I'm not even resistant anymore. I'm fleshy and salt.

Why? Why are you? Uh, yeah, well, he's got gold swarming around him. The vengeance of my ancestors are like, oh, he's desult. Yeah. If he attacks anyone but me, can see. The mists. disrupt them. Oh, thank you, buddy. You saved me.

17 plus 8. Yeah, that's so it's. But it's seven. So, claw attack. He's going to attempt to devour you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which will be at disadvantage. 13 and a 12. So that means 20. That is. Perfect. He devours you.

I'm going to do that damage. So he didn't move. We're saying. Well, yeah. Nine points of slashing damage. Total or just the first one? That's the first one. Got it. And then. He is going to do the...

I almost wish I was still stone. Marius, is that you in the upper GI track? What the fuck is coming? Five points of fire damage. I'm down here in this cold. And you are now inside of him. He is then going to lumber forward. He is going to...

That's where you wanted him. He is going to make his next attack against Lethaca. Yep, that's so... And he's now... 10 feet of all of us. I was so ready to get in all this. And that's going to be an 18 to hit Lethaca at disadvantage. So that is.

See what I can do. Seven points of slashing damage. I don't have any kind of damage. He's going to attempt to devour you. 15? He can't devout. Oh, you were, wait, you were already... You're already grappled, so never mind.

That hit would have actually been to devour you, which would have hit. So you are devoured. But you do have to... I get the damage back. You get the damage back. And I do have to roll a different type of damage for devour. for devour. That's 2d6. So 7, 8, 9, 10, 18, 13 points of piercing damage.

Just the shadowy move instead. As you were devoured. 13 points? Yeah, of piercing. And then he's going to reach out, that's two arms. He's gonna reach out with his third arm for Farron and attempt to devour Farron. Welcome. Knows this dye, the Anubis die, doesn't do shit for Iris? God, is it DM?

Cool. All right. Let's see. 15 plus 8. Does 15 plus 8 hit Farron? Yeah. You are clawed. This is, uh,

this is a disband. Hey guys, this guy's stubs. A seven piercing. Yes, that is seven piercing. And at disadvantage he's going to try to devour you. No. Final attack, right?

No. 19. Does that hit? Perfect. He is going to do. Oh, gosh. 10. 16 points of piercing damages, you are swallowed.

Briggsie, he is going to reach out with his last arm. Oh, hit done. An attempt to hit you. Go easy on me. Be gentle. Oh, it ain't going to be gentle. 25 to hit. 25?

Yeah. Oh, man. Disadvanged? Yes. Can't even shield? He has plus eight. Yakes. Hold on.

And I rolled, my highest, or my lowest was a 17. Hold on. You know, just hold on. So that's actually a 26. Because I'm really bad at math. No, it's still 25. 17, 3, 20. My lowest was a 17, so that's 25.

Okay, that is 25. The odds of that are just astronomical. Yeah, no, I don't got nothing to do. Okay. So you're going to take. Well, that's just one hit. Yes, that is just one hit. That is just the claw.

All that means is that you're a claw, not that you're swallowed again. Well, for what it's worth, these dye suck. This dye is a fucking, like, Anubis is in this. What's the max elasticity of his stomach? All of you, plus some.

Oh, no. Oh, no. I thought he's going to hit Crohn's. Seven slashing. And he is going to attempt to devour you. He's going to have four. Five X haste. Um, 18.

Misses. You're good, your life. So he is just holding you in his hand. The rest of you have been swallowed. And that is his turn. And you watch, as at this point, he is now bulging. The size that he was when this fight started, he's almost doubled in size at this point.

His stomach is roiling and undulating. As you can see your friends inside moving and trying to get themselves out of this disgusting acid. I can't wait to check the Archbishop Renault tag on Deviant after the session. Not today. Well, that makes up for a lot of what I have felt tonight. That'll do it.

Oh, yes. Am I able to just attack at disadvantage? Yeah. I will begin my turn by attempting to make two attacks. We're twisting them. These are one attack, this is the other, okay? So the lower one would be 20, and the lower one here would be 17.

Twisted. We're twisted, no. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no. Yeah, that's a 24. Okay. So I had no reason to roll a fire damage, unfortunately, and that's a lot of fucking D's going there. It does no. I am going to,

You are starting your turn in him, so you need to take some damage. I'll wait. I'll wait. Sure, that's fine. Six points of fire damage? Roger. I have applied that. I am going to make one of these hits a divine smite at a second level.

So I will spend a spell slot. That's a really good idea. Second level spell slot. So that's going to give me one, two, I think just three, three, four, five, I think a fifth one? Can I borrow a D8? You can borrow one of my die. I want to just make sure it's three extra. I think it's two plus one.

Divine Smyte is two D8 plus one D8 free spelt. Yep, so it'll be all of these bad boys. Okay, come on, come on. Don't leave me hanging. I see this being something really interesting. Not grand. That's going to be six plus eight is 14 plus is 19 plus 16 is 35 points of damage, a lot of which is radiant.

Radiant is, that we keep, yeah, radiant, it's normal. Okay, so 35 total. And then with my bonus action, I will use my channel divinity turn the tide, which is a bonus action. So each creature of my choice within 30 feet regains 1D6 plus 4 HP if it has no more than half its max hit points Well, that's everyone Your boy It's everyone with Jericho right? Yeah

7 points of healing which isn't bad And if you have less than half your hit points That's fucking huge That's fucking huge You probably just say my life And that is my whole turn How are you don't plan that? I will tell you in a minute.

I'm silently praying and probably screaming in pain. We're praying with him on. The Archbishop in a swift movement goes from being nearly incapacitated to pulling at some of you and devouring a significant portion of your group. You're feeling weakened. You're feeling stressed. All the while, something has been going unnoticed, but you notice it now. small tendrils of the light, purple, the green, the blue, the white, the black, that is almost

being sucked in and devoured by the archbishop as he grows and he consumes. He is feeding on your sin. He's feeding on your connection to your dark entity. Marius, you look down and you see this connection. And though your hatred, your wrath for the Duchess of sin and what she's done to you is overwhelming, your hatred and your wrath from Mother Midnight. For what Anya did to your grim, for what she has done to this entire place and to you is far more overwhelming in this moment. As you stand up in the very center of this entity, you take your blade of radiance and you begin to hack and slash into this thing.

You watch as the stomach starts to constrict the damage too much for the archbishop to handle as all of you are vomited out of the heads onto the ground. He is looking weak as he tries to inhale more of your essence. But it's not enough. In the heat of battle, in the crumbling catacombs made the cathedral of the blinding light, the creature that was once Archbishop Danton Alexander Rinald, now the herald of gluttony, the herald of the night of sin as a whole thrashes before you. His bloated form even more swollen than when the fighting began. You see him sit back onto his haunches and open all four of his mouths wide. the jaws unhinging, revealing rows of jagged stone teeth. As his mouths get wider and wider, his eyes flash with demonic energy,

and you all feel a terrible sick feeling deep within your souls. And suddenly, you all are paralyzed. You feel the wind before you hear the beast inhale as he attempts to consume everything in the room. But as you see wisps of shadow and mist that rise from you and begin to get pulled to his voracious maws, you realize helplessly that he is attempting to consume. your dark gifts, that you've empowered with the power of the land of Druskenbald itself. Each of you feel the tug on your soul as your connection to the dark powers that claim you begins to be ripped away by the endless almighty hunger of the creature before you.

And as more mist and shadow is ripped from your very being, your vision starts to go dark. And then you hear a bellowing voice boom out before you. You don't hurt friends! Moving with that trademark supernatural ability, you see Hugo leap down from the crumbling cathedral above, the huge split bell in his clutches. The demonic gargoyle that was once Archbishop Renault is too focused to react as Hugo slams the incredibly heavy hunk of metal down and hard onto the creature's head,

immediately knocking the beast to the ground with a thud as the discordant clanging of the ruined bell echoes through the chamber. This is enough to break whatever horrible devouring ritual, that was underway, and you feel the hold on your dark gifts return, much to your relief, or dismay. However, your control of your own bodies returns too slowly, and you can only watch as the forarmed gargoyle picks up the massive half-phamorian and slams him against the cathedral wall, then picking up the very same fractured bell and bringing it down hard onto Hugo with a sickening crack. Blood coats the walls as Hugo immediately goes limp, his form obscured by the tarnished metal.

A shrill, irritated voice calls down magically amplified. You cannot even finish your appetizer. I don't know why I expected any differently. Forget them, my child. Your real dinner is served. Come to the table and feast on what an overwhelming sin. Herald in the night of sin. Immediately, all four heads of the huge fiendish gargoyal abomination

turn upward and with a single beat of the massive wings, Archbishop Renault flies up through the cathedral, smashing through the ceiling of the main worship chamber into the high bell tower above. The stone and wood of the ruined construction plummets down on top of you, luckily regaining your own agency just in time. I need you all to roll a dexterity seat.

Oh boy. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's terrible. Wait a minute. How bad we are. I'm gonna twist it. Nine? Three. Yes. So yeah, twisted.

Yeah, and you're barbarian. You're Viking. If you're engaged anyway, it's dangerous sense. I got, I'm gonna use my bardic. I got a 13, but I only have a plus one. So it's like, you know. I use my bardic inspiration. That's a tough one. 13 could be good. It's certainly not all for like a dodging a piece of rock. It could just be a 10. I only need a 10.

But I don't think it's worth, I might, it's very like. I'll just roll lower. That's her. With a plus and one. The odds are that you would roll lower. So what did everybody get? 13. 23.

You're only 24. 17. 17. 29. Oh, Jesus Christ. What are all of your pluses? A plus three. One.

Four. The dexterity saving throw or just dexterity? Depredity saving throw. I'm going to say some of these are probably. Farron. I'm going to use a twist of dread. I'd like you to re-roll this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Very clever. Natural's money. All right, all right, all right. Just hit me, hit me, do you? I can take it. As the archbishop flies up through the already fractured ceiling of this place, now completely exposing this room to the sky above, that night sky, you can see a bit of the hag moon, its grinning face,

just barely, just the soft lilt to one of its lips, you can see peeking over the edge of the cathedral, but no more. As the light shines down into this room, as he flies up towards the cathedral, the rubble begins to crash in. Most of you are able to dodge out of the way. Marius, however, or, yeah, Marius, still weakened,

still stiffened from your time as a statue yourself. You're pinned beneath a large piece of stone you are going to take. I attempt to use my shield, knowing that I can't move fast enough. Nine points of bludgeoning damage. as you are smashed and pinned to the ground. All right, there I am. Part rocking in.

As even more of... I'm 40% still. As even more of the cathedral collapses in on you, threatening to crush you beneath the ruins, you all hear a terrible cacophony above you. The horrible tolling of seven bells that give off such an awful fiendish resonance, it almost drives you mad just hearing them.

You even feel the pull of your respective sins once more. For just a moment, as you each glow with the color of the element you have taken up as your guardian, and you steal yourselves. Your dark gifts have saved you once more. The people of Cyril, however, will not be so lucky.

And with that, combat drops. They're all horrible zombies. As I have warned you prior that it would. Some horrific rolling. I'd run over to Marius and try and get my shovel under the rock that he's pinned out. I'm going to say, We have to, we have to, get to hear you go.

I would say, uh, roll. Roll a strength saving throw, yes. I'll run with Hugo and immediately start to assess. I think that's a 17. I'm easily, easily enough to get the rock up off. What a marriage. I'll push myself off from another rock. Just, yeah.

Come on. You immediately rush over to where Hugo is. This corner of the room, it is nothing but rubble. You can see no part of the room. of Hugo at first, but a small fraction of the hood that he used to wear over his head that is sticking out between some of the rocks. The entire wall behind him is completely spattered in blood.

I will, if I can't get to Hugo, does it look like I could start removing? Yes. With you, it would take you a long time. You're not, you're not run over. Yeah, we would join as soon as we can to try to help. As soon as I'm married, we would move to Hugo. spot. Sorry, XV.

As soon as I think I have something that I can channel my divine energy through in a form of a hand or something like that, let me know. Okay. So who's helping? I will dukes of hazards slide over this altar.

Should my tail fall off the other side. I pull out my focus, my gun. I'm going to be looking around. Hold on. I'll get cover I'll keep an eye out for any more god. Oh no, there's still one of those minions, Briggs. You get rid of them.

Oh, did, was there still a minion? Yeah, that I remember. It was crushed by stone. It was crushed by stone. It was good. Lid by the stone, die by the stone. Oh, my God. So I will be, but in a mechanical sense,

I want to keep an eye out to see if I can see Mother Midnight, flying around on a broom, to see if I can see anything. And, you know, here on people in case. Roll perception check. and so the rest of you rush over and the tolling of the bell I want to change the music the tolling of the bell is almost oppressive as it rings out over the city of Cyril but for this moment your focus is on Hugo this entity that did not let you down this this what had been

called a gargoyle by someone that he loved someone that he cared about, that had been treated so poorly, but by you had been treated as a friend and as a person. And it was clear in this moment that he valued that and that he valued you, and he clearly turned against the only family he had ever known to save you. With a feverish veracity, those of you that are not protecting those that are rummaging through the rubble, Do that. You rummage through the rubble and it's almost an eerie silence as the sound of stone hitting stone echoes. So no one says anything. You finally are able to unearth the body of Hugo. And it is very bloodied. You wipe the blood and sweat from his face.

All three of his eyes are closed. It's just silence. You can see a huge gash and wound on his head where the cracked bell had clearly split his skull. And then you see it just faintly, small, very slow rise and fall to his chest. He is still alive, but only barely. I was hoping. Come back now. Hugo, come back now too. To the living. Join us.

Please. I'll cast, uh, here once. and see if I can get him to, at least, he might not come back to consciousness, but to stop the bleeding and to stop, to heal the wound in his head, if I can. Please? As you're doing that, I would grab your hand

with my other hand on Hugo as well, and just follow suit with her right, and cast your wounds. As anyone dead, I wrote an untie. You're watching the sky, and you see, you see, the sky is, completely clear, just the, this almost halo of milk light that is emanating from the hag moon, illuminating the entire city of Cyril, but from this vantage point, you can't see

what's going on in the town. You can only hear strange noises. Noises that are unlike anything that you've heard before. It is hard to tell what is happening in the town right now, but you can see up towards the bell tower and hear the clanging. But other than you see nothing coming, you see no threats towards you. It looks like the attention has been turned towards the tolling of the bells. We heal. 24. You place your hands, each one of you on either side of Hugo's head, and you begin to cast your healing magics.

And they manifest in different ways, those that are unique to you. But they, the shadow and the moss and the lichen, almost entwined together in a perfect, beautiful harmony. as they begin to stitch up the wound on Hugo's head. And he watches his eyes slowly start to flutter open. And you see that though his eyelids are heavy, his chest starts to rise a little heavier. Starts to breathe just a little bit faster, a little more normally. His eyes open up. You see that even his third eye has already begun to regrow.

As he opens his eyes and he looks at you, his head lulls to the side. Lesica He reaches up with his large hand And he runs his hand along your cheek Love, Leshica I love you too Hugo He turns to you, Farron

Farin Help Hugo Thank you for coming for us Hugo Hugo love Faran Ferran friend Or tired hug hug hug you go

friend And he like reaches out to try and hug you. Yeah, I'll cross, you know. I think just hugging his arm and can probably be like a torso to me. And he holds on to you for a little while and you hear his breathing. It's a little bit labored. And then he eventually lets go of you. And you can see that he's, you can see that he's conscious laying in the rubble down here at the base of the cathedral. And he is slowly breathing more quickly, but his eyes do keep fluttering. He's on the brink of exhaustion on the brink of passing out. But he seems to still be awake, though he's making no attempt to engage you in conversation.

He seems like you couldn't talk to him if you needed to or want. He looks around at all of you, I will say, and he does say, Hugo finally has family. That's exactly right. You're going to be okay there, fellas. You're mighty strong to be able to pick a wall up in like that and be fighting shape. You see a faint smile on his face, and you see as he reaches down and into the tattered outfit, the dirty clothes that he wears that clearly have not been washed in years. And from a pocket hanging at the side, you see as he pulls out his little train that had been mended by you. And he holds on to it.

believe in friends. You hang on to that there, fellow. We're going to play trains. Goose Light Express after we take care of your, I mean, the bad monster. You aided us when we needed it most. You saved our lives. You are a true hero.

You were very brave. You're brave. Thank you. Thank you. And you go tired. Rest. Rest, rest now. You've earned it.

Friends rest too. And you watch as his third eye opens up, and you're all awash in a strange green light. It's a kind of green that you could only imagine in a beautiful fairy glade, something completely akin to the Fay Wild in its own, and you all experience a short rest. I'll take it.

Nice fucking God. Oh, I was about to use that's cure word. You can't work. I was going to start down with potions and, like, you know, all that shit. I like, take my potion. It's essentially a free cast of catnap, but that's instantly. Oh, catnaps. As the light watches over you, Hugo succumbs to his wounds, though he is clearly stable, he will survive.

He does pass out, and he falls into what appears to be a happy sleep. He holds on to his little train set, and he begins to snore softly. He's probably not safe here. The cathedral will come down on. How will you carry him out to the cathedral? He's like 4,000 pounds. Yes. I will say for the sake of it,

the DM tells you, you just preacher naturally know that this is not going to... He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. If only I'd realize the magic worked early. Turn the tide as once per short rest.

There you go. All of my shits once per short rest, and I was saving his spell sloth. You know, just in case. I thought about using just such an occasion. I don't have any way to heal spell slot. With that, you are standing in the cathedral of the blinding light, and Hugo is now resting peacefully in the corner.

The sound of the bells ring out echoing through the night, echoing throughout Cyril, echoing throughout Fulson's as a whole. The bleeding has stopped. I think Hugo is going to be okay. going to be okay assuming this room safe. What's her plan? Do we get to fuck out of here? We must give chase.

We don't have a choice. We need to stop him before he consumes the town. The bells were already going. I mean, the whole province is going to be zombies. We don't know what that's going to quite look like. I would say we need to save as many people as we can. We must defend ourselves against the town people if they're violent, but we must try not to kill as many of them as we can.

What if the bells are causing this chaos, should we go after them first? And I'm not just saying this because Virgil's saying that we have to eat his power and get stronger. But I'm saying this because it's the right thing to do. We need to kill Archbishop Brno. I've been the one that's been hesitating saying, perhaps we shouldn't resort to murder with this fella. Now's what he's a gargoy, no? I feel like it's quite justified.

I think it was justified when he confirmed that he was in on it the whole time. You heard what he said to him. That's right. Oh, that's true. Yeah, no. I felt he deserved the justice when he took you both eye. I still have, and I pull out from bag, the broken statue, the fultus that had been jammed into his eye that I've kept. Don't forget.

You had the other one, remember. Oh, that's right. We must take care of her not. The bells and Mother Midnight. We must give chase. I would say it seems like it's very clear that all through those things are in the same place. The bell tower. We must ascend to the bell tower.

I'm just saying it's not too late to get out. I mean, we go to Philip and we can be like, hey, look, we cried, but there's the whole gargoyle thing. We need some help. Didn't she say that literally all of the humans and all of Druskenwald are also going to get hit by it? How many humans are in Druskenwald? What's their census data? We must commence at once. To the Burl Tower.

Briggsie, are you with us? Yeah, all right. I don't really think there's any escape. There's nothing we can do but face this at all. I mean, it's fair, but none of us are really human. I mean, I don't even you. I think we'll be fine. I'm just saying it's not too late to bail.

It's not about us. You know this. We have to aid these people. No, we don't. It's not really nice or polite, Calmerius not human. On the count of his ears and his fangs and his blood red eyes and his pallid complexion and the fact that he craves blood

and the fact that he can walk on walls. Jericho. Jericho, please. I'm used to it. Oh, okay. Gorsh. Do you mean pallid or paladin? Yes.

How are we gonna get up to the, do we just climb, I guess? Does it look like... It looks like it's going to need to be climbed. Dang. Well, I can lead the way, as always. Yes. I can climb to the top and belay some rope.

It will take me no time at all. It's the old word I have won't at this point. I mean, what if they're doing some horrible thing up there? I'm going to be like, oh, I, you know... Well, once we get to the cathedral, can we, like, aren't there stairs or something we can take? Oh, yeah, it probably stays. Well, if you hear me dying, you'll know that something is going on at fair.

and I'm going to put away my sword and shield and begin to climb. I would say you would all want to climb together. Okay. And it will be a group climbing check at advantage because of Marrake. Because of Marius. Yes, and then you're going to be able to get in

and ascend through the stairs. I make it 10 feet up and I turn back and I say, we should all be doing this together. Because if any one of you were to essentially get anywhere without the others, it could be disastrous. Acrobatics at advantage because of Marius. Oh, Jesus.

Oh, yes. Oh, thank God. And it's a group one, so just because you failed, doesn't mean you failed. I got a 16. 14. Oh, nice. 23. 18.

Terrible. 26. Thank you. You are easily able to do to make the clock. Help me up here. As a lot of the rubble has almost created a slope that you're able to scale up and, and, you're up and get yourselves over. I just hold onto the strap of my bag and two hands come out.

That's horrifying and I wish I'd said it. Once I get to the top of wherever we're climbing, I'll slam my staff down and Wicker will start to grow out over my arms and my shin's kind of like in an armor and sort of a helm-style masky thingy. Like a forced megal man thing. Exactly. Or like, what is it, Ardenweild with the... Oh, that's a man.

Chesh. You're wicker vis. As you all ascend the cathedral, you peer through the shattered windows and huge holes left from the collapsing walls, and you finally see the night of sin being gilded in. The throngs of Cyrillians swarm the streets, indulging in their worst sins to the highest degree.

But as the terrible bells above you ring out across the city, you see the way they may. move change. Slowly, but very clearly, you see their movements turn from deliberate sinful acts committed by mortals lost to wickedness, to pure mindless heretics which seem more like inhuman monstrosities than actual people. And slowly, even from this distance, you see the dark transformation as their eyes go wide and start to glow red. And from their heads, you see the nubs of black horns beginning to sprout. The night of sin has begun, and all of full sense is running out of time.

By the time you make it to the highest bell tower, you see a circular chamber that looks out to the entirety of the city, now turned to maddened wickedness. At the center, pulling an elaborate system of chains to ring seven massive black bells with their discordant resonance is the even more bloated form of the herald of gluttony, Archbishop Danton Alexander Renault, and he is not alone. Riding her simple broom is Mother Midnight,

the misty affliction having spread even further throughout her body. Her pulsing veins snake all over the wrinkled flesh you can see, pulsing with swirling gray as her eyes are streaked with green blood vessels as even her irises begin to change color. For the first time, she seems distressed. All the same, she faces you with wicked confidence as you finally arrive to the chamber. Oh, Danton, it looks like you ordered your food to go. Now you can fill your belly with both sin and flesh. Keep ringing my herald. feast upon the sin of the humans, incapable of resisting the inherent darkness within. Feast upon the sacrifice of their humanity as they surrender to wickedness.

Then once you have consumed all that is needed, fly, fly my pretty child, and feed the mother of this land, the mother of us all, the mother of night, so that she may finally be reborn in moonlight. And with that, Mother Midnight rockets out of her. of the room and into the night sky, ascending upward toward the ever-grining hag-moon above. Yes, my mother, it is all so delicious. Archbishop Renalte continues to ring the bells, ensuring that the people of Fulcant surrender to sin as he keeps all four of his mouths wide, ravenously consuming the wickedness of this night and swelling larger and larger with every moment.

I need everyone to roll. for initiative again. 20 to 25. I'm so nervous. It's okay. Me and you. You beat me. I hate doing first.

So, who else said? 25. Jericho. Lethika? Who wants you to go first? So we have Jericho. We have the big bad, actually.

And then we have Lethaca. 23. 23. Fairness 23. I get a little left to a fair enough. Okay, then we have the layer action. Win? Then...

15. Okay. Briggsie? Nine. Okay, so it is your grim Marius. Got a hot five. You got a five? Yeah, I got a nine.

So... I'm watched. Yeah. Okay, well, I mean, that's fine. That's a good spread. Wait, Marius is the play his last? Yeah. Oh.

Yeah, I got a hot five. My bad. Lever's slow paladin. Okay, so with that, the archbishop is standing in the center of this cathedral area. He is ringing the bells with a strange chain contraption that is able to ring all of them. As the people of Cyril, the people of Folcents are giving in to the night of sin, as they're all transforming into these strange creatures, the horns growing on their heads, their eyes red. and you stumble into the room as Mother Midnight flies out on her broom towards the hagroom,

and you're faced with the Archbishop yet again. He looks ever wounded from the battle that you just previously had with him in the bowels of the cathedral of the blinding light. The wound on his stomach is still ever present, and you see a similar sight to the tendrils that connected you to him when he was feeding on the sins in you, but these ones are stronger because they're coming from every corner of Fulcens

from every humanoid in the land of Druskenwald in his dark domain and his gluttony is causing him to get larger and larger and larger Jerica what do you do? I am going to at him and I am going to say Actually, no, I'm not going to do that.

Oh, my God. I don't like... I am going to look to look at him. And I am going to say, you know, I once... A frog. Do you like frog humor? You know, I once told this joke to a frog and he didn't care for him.

He was hopping mad. I mean, he's hideous laugh at him. He didn't care for him in frog jokes. What's the save? Wisdom 16. Oh yeah, he smashes it, 21. Yeah, that's good try. I'm going to, who's after me? That was your turn?

Lefica, I'm going to also basically say, Leveka, please try to keep us alive, but you may just kind of shoot shadow in your blade, but here's some inspiration. I'm going, I'll do what I can. I'm not a heel bot. 10 minutes. Well, I'm an idiot, so this should have happened already.

The layer action. That's my room. So I'm going to do that first. And he is going to do midnight mass again. No, no, he's not. The gargoyles that surround the outside of the bell tower activate and all six gargoyles are going to rush one on each of you. And they each make to attack, so I'm gonna go on,

ooh, natural 20 on Lethaca. Oh, I'm not still, uh, no. 10 minutes. And 16, 21 on Farron. Yeah. Oh yeah. I miss this. It's just good.

Oh, that was like a half, maybe. Thank you. So one's gonna miss on Jericho, but one is gonna hit. We're an absolute Lord. Natural 20 on Briggs and then the other one's going to no, 17 to 17 hit you. So it's just natural 20 on you. You wish.

Yeah, I do. One's going to hit Marius. And then both are going to miss on your grim. So I have two natural 20s that I have to deal with. So I'm going to try and do this very quickly. Two ones. Lethika, you are going to take 11. of piercing damage and a wisdom saving throw.

Ah, Barron, you were going to take 16 points of piercing damage and a wisdom saving throw. That's better. Actually, two wisdom saving throws because each one of you... Uh-huh? Two of one for me? Yeah, because you got hit twice, right? Oh, yeah.

And you, I crit on you, right? You crit. Yeah, let the gun, but I mean, if you want to forget it. I don't. Yeah. So that's gonna be another five points of damage for you. And yes, only one, only one hit for you. So only one wisdom save.

Okay. So then 20, yeah, 28. Party Coltron. Okay, that's how easy. 14 points of piercing damage for you, Jericho. And a wisdom saving throw. 14? Yeah. Oh, I failed my wisdom saving throw.

Cree twisted. Seven points of damage for you. That is a crit. I rolled very, very low. And then the wisdom saving throw, just one for you. Yeah. These little gargoyle fucks?

Yeah. Yeah. You're good. Dios, I don't need the good guy. 10 points of piercing damage for you because I rolled max damage and a wisdom saving throw and nothing for you. I passed me.

Wait, did you hit me? Yes. Oh, okay. I succeed my wisdom. And so if they hit you, it's automatically eight points because each attack has four, so that's eight points. and then whatever the die is.

I need to make a wisdom saving throw. Yes. I fail one and I succeed. Actually, pull out. There's two out. My lowest is a 15. 15? 15?

Okay. Everybody is wisdom saves, except for your room. This one mean, 20. Oh, 21. 3. 27. Okay, yes, you're all fine. You do not succumb to the effects of the gargoyle.

That is their turn. That was their action. Now it's the big bag's turn, so that's kind of awesome. He is going to move directly towards Marius. Yeah, what else is to do? Question, before you begin. I am not immune to the... You are immune.

I was going to ask. Because you were petrified, but it was removed from you that makes you immune for 24 hours. I didn't know if I had to succeed on the accident. So I don't have to worry about turn to stone for the rest of the site, thank God. And that is lovely. All done. Yes, all of you have somehow succeeded in some way. One arm is making sure that it is constantly tolling the bells,

which means that he is a little less powerful in that regard. I like that. He is, however, going to use his other three arms. I believe he's going to move to the side a little bit because he is so huge, he can stand over the gargoyles. And so he is within range of Jorghum, Marius, and Lethaca. I read my whole. And he is going to, is he a disadvantage?

No. On me. Just on you. Okay. So he is going to roll against you first to see if he, oh, 16 and 17. Yes, so he 100% claws you. He is going to, for Marius. Oh, yeah. He clawed you. Oh, yeah. He clawed you. 15 plus 8. That'll do it. And then Lethaca, he is rolled a two. So he does not claw you. And so for the two of you, he's at advantage still for you? No? Not if you hit me, no. Okay, perfect. So I'm going to roll for both of you to see if he can devour you, and I rolled two 19s. So. That'll do it. That'll do it. Back in we go. Yeah. Yes, your own grim, I believe it is on time again. I don't hold my spot though. You're going to take, Marius, you're going to take eight slashing damage.

Roger. Your grim, you are going to, fuck, why is this die rolling so poorly on damage? You're going to take seven slashing damage. And then you're You were going to take, as you were devoured by him, you were going to take 15 points of piercing damage, Marius. Oh, I'm the new Briggsie. I'm almost dead. And then you're also going to take 13 points of piercing damage.

As you watch as Dantan, as the Archbishop walks forward, continually ringing the bell, heralding in the Knight of Sin, he reaches out with his three free arms, His foreheads gnashing and slobbering as gluttony overwhelms him. He wants to feast. He was given permission by Mother Midnight to feast on you in the city as a whole. And he is determined to do so as he reaches out and grabs Marius and Yorgram both. He's in a feverish hunger.

He misses Lethaca. But he will be sated as he opens up unhinges one of his jaws and swallows you both in the same head. You tumble into his stomach, and you all watch as he grows just a little bit larger. All too familiar, clearly. Chris. And so that is his turn. My name is Chris. Lethaca.

Lethaca, you are going to take three fire damage as you are whipped with the fiery aura that surrounds him. And is your turn. What do you do? Rally, friends. We must take down this monster. We must defeat this evil. For she will lead you through the darkness. Show her why you are the mistress of pain.

And I will slam my hand down onto the ground and erupting shadows will emerge from all around, scraping and tearing at every thing except for my allies. All right. Spirit guardians, let's get. Yes! Shadow's start to claw up. You know, at the end of ghosts,

that really horrifying scene where the guy goes to hell. Yeah. Oh, they're getting dragged to hell. They're getting sucked right to hell. Right to hell. And so I believe the minions just fucking die. Yeah, they all have one hit point, so if there is. Even if they exceed the thing,

they still take two points of damage. They probably can't. I'll roll one for all of them. I rolled a two, so no. Okay, and he gets to make a, A, wisdom saving throw, DC. DC 16. DC 16 plus his wisdom, which is high because he is an archbishop.

Yes, he survives. He succeeds. Half of this. She can move. I'm moving for you, Lefica to get the last feller. That's fine, that's fine. Does it matter if it's necrotic or radiant? It doesn't matter.

That is acceptable money. 10, 20, let's go 32 points of the damages. Damn, yeah. Oh, but he only takes half, so that would be 16. Because he's 16? Yes. That's important. Yeah, that's really important.

It's very important. And I have a bonus action. Do it on this court. I feel like, if you like that's fear guardians. Very cool. I have a bonus action and... And do you want to use it? Can I see your Grimm or Marius?

The same rules apply. The hole in his stomach that I described gives you vicious. This chisel is just slopping on the ground. I just, I thought it was a nice mirror to the chunk that Briggsie has. Yeah, it was. I'm very poetic.

Thank you. You'll hear my voice muffled through the disgusting membrane of this nightmare nope-poop. What do you think she said? there. Twink! Come on you! Sweet!

And I'll be healing word. Enjoyed night. Thank you, Polly. Let's go. Thank you. And I... That's your turn? Knowing that I risk an attack of opportunity,

I'm still going to attack of opportunity on you. Oh, I will. Which direction? Perfect. These are the bells, right? So 23. Oh, yeah. 23 to hit?

Yeah. That hits. So. He claws you and you're grappled. We'll see if I can eat. And he's going to attempt to swallow you with 16 plus eight. So that's going to swallow you. Hey, Lotha good.

So yeah. Let's play uno. Wow, oh, thank you. Welcome back. 14 points of slashing damage for the claw attack. Ooh. And 16 points of damage for the. So 30 total?

Yeah. I'm not playing Uno. I come into the stomach unconscious. Hey! I mean, been there before. Good night. Good night. Good night.

Thanks, yes. I'm out of here. Play us out. Play us out. Play us out. Oh. With that, you attempt to move away, but these heads are hungry.

They will feast this night. And as you, You move. The sound of your feet moving on the stone of the floor catches the attention of one of the four heads as it looks towards you, reaches out, grabs you, unhinges its jaw, and throws you into its maw. Your body scrapes along its teeth like razor blades ripping at your skin as you fall into the acidic stomach acid. You look up at your friends for just a second as darkness overcomes you and you fall unconscious. I hit the ass hits in the stomach. So that was Lethika's turn. He is going to use a legendary action.

And you're going to have to kill him very fast, or y'all are dead. He's going to reach out towards Jericho and attempt to make a claw time. Oh, gosh. Natural 20. Oh, no. Yeah, we're tall.

Oh, thank you for reminding me. That's very good. 20 points of slashing damage. I think that might be down here. And then he's going to attempt to eat you, and he does not devour you. Oh, my God, I got a natural six. What's your weight? What's your AC?

Oh, 17. Okay, yeah. Yeah, no, it misses. It's good. So he is able to claw you, but he is not able to consume you. It's speaking of rusty hinges. I spit up black feathers. I went from 43 to 0.

Good point from one round. That's how great. That's how this goes. Yep. Okay. My turn? Farron. So seeing Lethika eaten up,

I would stamp my staff on the ground and that, and the wicker would start to crawl up with the likeness material and start to suck the life force out of the I don't know why I keep calling the abbot the archbishop you can call him the abbot his middle name's got stella I will I'm going to call him yeah with it so we'll need to make a constitution sitting for it's against magic did I give him legendary resistances because I don't think so. No, I don't think so either.

Yeah. I actually don't think I did. Yeah, that, well, that hasn't stopped me from all this. Yeah. Chusha. Yeah, okay, so he's going to fail. Okay, so he takes 13 necrotic damage. Okay.

Oh, gosh, I just failed my laughing. And then Ms. Lefika will get two hit dice and half them available. Plus five. Can I use them in the form of I'm dying? I'm dying? I'm dying. Yeah. As long as you have hit die available,

you can use two of them. It just uses your hit dice instead of like. She's just healing. Oh, I unfortunately have just two hit dice work. Yeah, for it. Plus what, five? Plus five. Oh, there we go.

Y'all are really lucky that people are the for more. No, I am. Right. Two, whatever. It's two, whatever. It's big money. Come on. 11.

Yeah. I mean, that's 11 more than you have. That's huge. I'm not dying anymore. What about that is this? And then I would just throw it in. Were you within 10 feet of them? No.

Okay. But who's the reaction? Oh, that's true. That's true. If I'm standing behind this bell, do I have any kind of coverage? Is it? Or is it all the ground?

It's off the ground. Oh, it is. Okay. Because they're ringing currently. I'll still shriek out. Yes, there's seven of them. With that, it is the terrain. No, it's not the train action.

I don't know what this monster's one is. It's supposed to be. There's one monster! Ah! Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's, you're going to. It's your room. Um, funny. Give him the business.

What we think the chances are there's anything after this guy? Probably pretty high, right? Beats the ball. Well, if we're in the top of, literally the top of the entire entire city, fighting with all the bells of sent around, isn't the city going to madness? If Elven Ring has taught me anything, there's only one cut scene during a boss.

I draw upon the mists. That's call, baby. And I will attack recklessly into this guy. I don't know, well, yeah. Before you do that, to be fair, not fair, not fair, to be kind as a DM, even though you went unconscious. Given the connection that you created and the spell that you did and the mother of mist and your entities,

I will allow you to roll concentration to see if you can keep your spirit guardians up. Oh. Because it was multiple hits. So that wasn't 40 damage and one hit. It was multiple hits. So you could actually keep your concentration. One roll for the whole of champagne.

No, no. You have to roll, you have to roll. you have to roll for each damage. Oh, what a guy's done? And so I think you took around 40 damage, so you just have to be, huh? Four concentration checks all in once. Can you take four hits?

You only took two hits. Just two. I didn't know how many hits I got to buy the guard oil, so that was one. So I should have to work that down. And then, and then I get two hits from the claw pack and the swallow. So even though unconscious,

even though unconscious would normally negate it. Will you twist? I guess you can twist it. It's really fucking good, right? I'll twist it's my note. Because of that, rather than use a twist, I'll use my one inspiration to make this re-roll. It's the last of them.

And that's a super mega crazy success. You wanna undo the? So that's a real. Yes. Yes, he already pulled two. I just pulled two. Oh, I don't want to one. No, no, no.

I pulled one and this, I conceded the first one. I twisted and succeeded and then I inspired and succeeded. Yeah, so we just, the ones are just the while. Leave it out. I only ever took one out. And I didn't take a second. And that's correct, if you don't need to take a second out. And so with that, you still have your spirit guardians up

because rule of cool DM wanted to do it. And it's my birthday this week. That's true. So I do what I want. In the darkness, see your truth. Neesis. You're just icky. I'm Jesus.

That's gonna stick. Sweet baby, Nezis. With that, it is somebody else's turn now. So he takes 32 damage. And whose turn is it? Your response, he did his rage thing. 32, you said? Yeah.

He went to absolutely aim. From inside of him? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Are we about to ride the vomit slide? God, I hope so. Wee. Your Graham looks down at Lethaca as the light leaves her eyes for a second.

But you see bits of lichen and moss intermingling with the stomach acids in this entity. As Farin invigorates Lethaca, and you see your eyes pop open almost instantly, and you turn your attention to this being, this entity, this minion of Anya, who had been a child, someone that you had trusted, and the anger, the wrath overwhelms you. as you take your shovel and you begin slicing into this thing. As you bring the shovel down, bits of stomach acid come up with it and are flung over you. You see as they singe the flesh on the inside of its belly and you slice a gigantic gash into him. He grows larger as he's attempting to consume you, but he can't contain this as he once again starts to convulse.

And you hear that guttural noise as he vomits all things. three of you back up onto the battlefield. He is going to vomit you actually into your friend. So I'm gonna have Jericho and Grigsie make a dexterity saving throw. Awesome. Dodge vomit. I come out of the mouth riding my chakram like one of those flying saucers sleds.

Nice. Let's go. Because yeah, that meets the number. Dxterity you say? And he asked to make a Constitution saving throw. You should have done that already. Well, he failed it anyway, so it doesn't matter. And he...

Yeah, oh, fuck. So he, the effects of what would have been on his next turn haste are... Now he is just... That's a great ability. I'm definitely giving him my boss on the bad. Yeah, that is fucking sick, by the way. Yeah, so the haste that had been on him at the end, that had invigorated him at the end of his turn,

completely drops. and he is now unable to make actions. Including ringing the bells. You know what I'm going to say no? I already rule of cool juice. I'm going to rule of cool me. His tail is on that. He's exhausted.

This is getting gross. What I will say is the bells are ringing so voraciously at this point that even though his arm is slack, it's still enough weight to continue to pull on the chain. And what are you? So it's a chain is convinced like, So it's basically a chain that's going up and it's spread out on all these wheels and cogs

to ring all seven bells at the same time. And he is very strong. It is though, as we ruled, time for him to do the terrain action, which comes from the terrain and not from him. And so anyone within us, all of you, need to make a wisdom saving throw. Come on, baby. And tell me how many feet away you are from him

when you give me your wisdom saving throw. Just right in, like immediately in front of you, yeah. Jesus. Uh, fuck. 14, and I'm five feet away. Okay. From him? Yeah.

Oh, if you're five feet away, you may get at disadvantage, but that doesn't matter because you failed. Wisdom, you said? Yeah, okay. All right, yeah, okay. Finally. 13. Yeah, you fail.

15. How far away are you? From him? Him or the bell? From him. Oh. Five of a half. 10 feet?

10 feet? Yeah, you fail. You're seven and a half. Oh, five and a half. You know, I'm seven and a half feet away. That's well. I got a Dex. Yep.

Oh, no, wisdom. Oh, wisdom is, sorry, that's a 16. And you're 10 feet away? Yeah. Okay, you fail. Oh, please. You succeed. 15.

You fail. Okay. 28 and I'm very far away. Failed. Oh, fail. It can't be. Hearing these things, can I use my bardic inspiration? I have a 19 right now.

but you decide if I'm meta-aing based on the fact that's... Is Bartag inspiration or reaction? No, it's just that I can add with you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you got, how far away are you? I'm 5 feet away and I got a 19. You rolled a disadvantage? No.

Yes, if you roll it disadvantage of your 5 feet. Yeah, so start with that. Then I'll see. Okay, so it's still in 19. Dude, I would do it. And what I will say is you pass, so I'm not going to make you roll your Barton inspiration. Say it.

So everybody, except for Farron and Lethika fails, I need you to roll a D6 for me and let me know what number you got. Roger. I got three. Can you do that? You are overcome with greed. Overwhelmed by the gold, silver, and expensive relics that is quite distracting.

And in this case, it is the these bells. The metal on these bells is beautiful, inlaid with all kinds of unique metals. And you are no longer focused on fighting. Attacks and concentration checks are disadvantaged until the next terrain action. Son of a gun. Oh, that's all of us.

Do you all have threes? You all got threes? I got four. Well, he added what you did. So I would like to experience the other one. So per usual, if you got a one. So you got a four. Your envy again, so whoever's next to you,

you drop your shovel and you want to steal their. I got one. Give it a sword of a bitch. You are overwhelmed by pride, so confident in your abilities that you move about the battlefield recklessly. Attacks against your advantage until the next train action. Saving throws are made at disadvantage until the next terrain action.

I got fine. Sloth. You are really tired. You fall asleep until the next terrain action. Oh, boy. Contest. Yes. Oh, are you doing it right now?

You have, immediately. So immediately you no longer. Well, you're just a disadvantage. You prideful son of them. Yes. It was only saying it goes in attacks, right? Or no. It's a disadvantage.

It's a disadvantage. Hey, got it fun. It is currently the terrain action. We almost crushed you. not not good enough. If it's, I think I like a plus eight. So overcome with envy, your grim, you spy Marius a sword again

as you throw your shovel down to the ground and you look at this flaming sword that Marius holds aloft. Marius overcome with pride. You swing this sword. He doesn't need it. No, he doesn't need it. No, he doesn't need it.

No, he doesn't even swing yet. I'm just standing there. No, you're overwhelmed with pride. You're twirling it around. Like, you are flaset da, as they were. would say on Drag Race. You are so flonse da about this fight, this guy has nothing on you. As your grip approaches from behind. What are you doing?

I'm so great. What the fuck? Not even using this, you selfish peacock. All right. I don't need it. That was easy this time. And you- That is really least of my worries. Oh, Flavio! Unfortunately, that's not the activation work.

Flavio. You just keep saying it, no, that's. I'm going to fire stenes. None of those are the activation. How do you turn it on? I'm not going to tell you. Something about boarding mode. If you were smart enough, you'd already know.

By Le Thunder! That works. I smite him. It really was process of elimination. All right. It is now... He was like 18 bonus action. Just get my turn to like...

Now, Briggs' turn. Briggs, Briggs, you've overcome, you've been overcome by sloth. You fall asleep on the ground. Oh, everyone's being mind controlled in the city and there's bells going on and demons are invading our homes and our beds. I sleep.

You take out your chunk and jump. Just, you know, everybody. Good night, everybody. Good night. Mag. Mood. Good night, pals. Good night, Gargoy.

Good night. Disgusting abomination. There was once Stapon, Alexander Renault. And with that, it is Sembarious. Is certain. So what I'm actually disadvantaged on here? Because I've got to formulate a new plan. You are pride.

Attacks against you are advantaged. Okay. Saving throws are made at disadvantaged. So it's not your attacks, but you don't have your sword anymore. Right. So what else is you could pick up the shovel and use the shovel. You're prideful. Why wouldn't you? He didn't he?

He's cocked around with you, the shoveled. Because that's not your shovel. That's your shovel. I mean, sword. So I would say... What's the die on the shovel? 1D12? I mean, it's nothing, you know, it's not...

Can I use it? Does it have to be, is it two-handed? Um, yeah. Fuck. Is there the second you picked that up, or you were gonna announce? I just have to... Yeah, you goddamn ratom on my show. Wait a second.

That's my idea. Martyr of Lathander specifically references my sword. Am I able to use the martyr of Lathander if I do not have my sword? Fuck it. Okay. So, seeing that Yorgrin has taken my sword, I'm shocked. You're prideful. Why not? I see what happens.

I look at you. I look in my empty hand. I say, I don't have time for this, and I yeat my shield across the, it skitters, it hits and clatters and it skitters off. to the end, other side of the bell tower. I just see the shovel. I can command Lefander's power through anything,

even a common shovel. And I pick it up, and I twirl in both hands, and I pull back like a baseball bat, and I use the martyr of Lefander. The shovel glows bright gold as I mark this gargoyle to deal an additional 1D4 radiant damage, but I deal an additional 1D4 to myself, to give myself advantage on my first attack.

Perfect. So this will be the one at advantage. This is the one that's not at advantage. These are my- You wield the shovel back and it start to glott. Say, hey, I'll trade your back. Let's just hand me the shovel first and then I'll give you the sword.

This is some captain. Long wants the battle map. The unadvantaged one is like a 26 and then the advantaged one is a 19. Both of those hit. So I will deal two, one D12s, plus a D4 radiant damage, plus I'm going to make both divine smites at level one.

Okay. So that will be four D additional 48. Okay. And then do I just add my normal plus to the 12s? Like a plus, my normal plus is eight, seven damage. No, plus five. Plus five.

Because two of it's coming from the dualist. Oh, you're right. That's right. You just took a negative two. So there's a max 12, 6. So that's gonna be 18, 19, 20, 25, 27, 37, plus 10 is 47 points of damn glowing shovel, radiant damage.

And as this shovel connects, and I smack one of its heads, ha ha ha, by Le Fender! He can't use legendary action. because he is, haste was dropped. So he's tired. Whose turn was it?

That was Marius. It is the top of the round. That does mean that it is the lair action, and we said that the lair can take its action regardless. Of course. And so... I wake up, though, now, right? What?

No, not until monsters two. Or someone could wake you up. It's just sleep. I don't have time for that. But I don't think anyone's going to. He is going to, where are the gargoyles? Did you leave their biggest? But they were all next to you

because they didn't get a chance to move or do anything, right? Can you please put them all back into place? Sure. I mean, we can do roughly. I don't know if he'll be exactly. Just put one gargle on each, one gargle on each of you. One goggle.

Okay. Okay. I'm comfortable. And the layer action is going to use. remission of sin. Oh, wait, they're not living. Never mind, I'm not gonna do that. Why don't I put living?

I should have said dead gargoyles. No, he's going to use Last Supper. I need you all to... So no more gargoyles? No, no more gargoyles. They had to be living for me to do it. I was trying to do a bunch of damage to my spiritual weapon anyway.

Yeah, so I need to all make a wisdom saving throw for me, please. As once again, you all see you all see the shimmering visage of a Last Supper, beautiful succulent pigs, goblets of wine, roast fowl and game, buttery potatoes and an entire, a seafood tower and a large tray of delicious, decadent cakes and pies and custards.

Picture in Jesus eating a seafood chicken. It is his death day and his birthday this week. It looks like it came from a red lobster, but a good red lobster. To the shedder-bate biscuit, for it is my flesh. It is a breadwin-roll. I have invented this. You can tear it off after you're done to the biscuit.

Go felds. Jesus. Holy shit. You said wisdom-faming throw? I failed catastrophic. Yeah, I failed, too. I'm a disadvantage. Uh, wait, wisdom.

I got 17. Yeah, we've got twist. The DC is 14. Oh, I mean, we got twist. So with disadvantage, what all I do? I'm going to use Lansper. Yeah, you just, uh, no, just, uh, with a twist, it's just a straight one role.

Yeah, you sort of like clear. Yeah, you're sort of like clear. Yeah. All right. How we've always been it. Come on. It's great. Thank you, chap.

15? 15 passes. Yeah. Um, you have seen this before. and you still feel your dark entities within you, and you are able to shrug off this visage of the feast as you shake your heads and the last supper begins to fade and dissipate. Oh, you failed?

You rush to the seafood tower. There is an entire portion on the top, which is this really elegant shrimp cocktail with like a golden bowl, gem-encrusted bowl, which looks like it'd probably be used for a Heroes Feast. I'm gonna' about this. Full of cocktail sauce as you begin to just shovel from cocktail into your mouth.

Don't take my sword, I need that. And you are now paralyzed for one minute. Oh, I'm scared of mountain butter. There's a bucket of a way. I put my face under it. Oh yeah, there's one like rickety, there's like one rickety plastic table covered with butcher paper with a ton of blue crabs, some mallets, and some butter.

And some cheddar bay biscuits? And some cheddar-based biscuits. I met that table. This is an excellent ultimate family feast. TM only in Red Logs, so are we seeing him just like eat nothing? Yes. You're watching as the last supper is fading from your view,

but for your grim, this is still very real. And you're watching as he shish shuffling. And then all of a sudden, you watch as he is paralyzed with his mouth open. And a flaming sword in hand. Flaming sword in hand. Yeah. Flamy, oh.

It's by La Fander. This isn't that hard. And with that, is the terrain action is finished. Briggs, you were asleep. Marius is your turn. Again? Yeah. No, that was later action.

Oh, yeah, Lynn. Sorry, sorry, you're right, you're right. Jericho. Oh, oh gosh. Derico. Uh, I, well, I can't believe it. I am in utter disbelief that this is not butter. Did I run to the feet?

Did I go somewhere to the- This is not turned to Delhi. Yeah, run to the very center of the room. Is he gonna opportunity? He can't because he is, he has no actions or reactions from haste, from the lack of haste. Hey, you can pick up my shield wire over there.

They're just completely swift lemons. Listen. Despite the shenanigans going on, I will see the city in absolute upheaval. All my friends are dying or consumed in sin. I'm feeling, wait, what is my sin right now? I need a role plan. Envy.

Sorry, greed. You're greed. Oh, yeah. You are greed. From the bells. Gosh, I don't. Your attacks and concentration checks are disadvantaged until the next terrain.

Gosh, I actually have a son. I'm talking about bells because I want the bell so much. I'll sing a melancholy tune. Sadder still to watch it die, then never to have known it. For you the blind who once could see, the bell toles for thee. And I'm going to cast mask your wounds.

Uh, er a masculine word. Right, or let us fucking go. And let us. Let us fucking go. And I will I will then Oh shoot That was oh this bonus action

And then for my action I was like you the fuck up Briggs Briggsie Briggsie you wake up My eyes just My eyes open But I'm just Hey Brissy

Come get greedy with me That's your whole thing I'm not getting up How do you can you figure out how we can steal all of these seven gigantic. No, no more greed is can't take sensitive. It's not the time. How much we heal for?

Oh, I forgot I need to roll. Do I heal? The sweet, sweet healing. I kept a little far along. Oh, I would shimmy on over to you. Before after you keep bringing this happens. You get closer to the bell. You can shimmy over to him and kick Briggs healing up.

Yeah, yeah. During the shimmy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm gonna get, you are going to heal for six. And whew, boom, boom, whew, whee. Wow, God. It's better than five. Six times six is 36.

That's true. And with that, it is his turn. He has a whole part. Uh-oh. Oh, that's fair. Before his turn, he needs to make a wisdom saving for. What for? Spiritual gardens.

Because of six. Oh, a disadvantage. Oh, is it a disadvantage? Is it a disadvantage? The garden? No, he's not on the ground. He's just unable to take action. That's irrelevant because he did fail.

So what? 22, 29 points of the damage. What? Just as just as to as up. More and more shadows continue to emerge from the ground and are scraping and tearing out of flesh. They're just sucking him right to hell.

They're just sucking him straight to hell. I mean, if you're going to go to hell, it's going to be from the shadows. Thanks, too. I'm glad we were like weird, though. As the sucking shadows swirl around him, he is unable to move. And you watch as it draining the life force from him in a similar manner as he is feasting and devouring the life force of the citizens of Cyril and Fulcense.

And it does a significant amount of damage. He is starting to look very, very weak, I would say. He's either gonna kill you right now or you could potentially kill him, but you don't have much time left. And she now is capable of making actions. So he is going to look towards Jericho, Marius, and Lethaca.

No, thank you. I'm not interested. He's a disadvantaged. On him. I think that's a lot of everybody but meant. Even without your shovel? Mm-hmm. Well, because I hit him and then lost my shovel.

The miss is like, he would be like coughing up mists from his insides. I feel like we really come together in the group. 16 for Jericho. I've tried to attack you. 16, that's actually gonna miss. Meanwhile, Yorker is like, this is a great dude for two Tuesday,

Maryna's feast. They say it feeds a family, but I'm still hungry. One T2 for Marius? Yeah, my asses only 16, because I'll offer my shield. You're resistant. I'm resistant. It's part of the feature. The damage.

Yeah, that's fair. I've read my abilities. Oh shit, what am I doing? So I got a 19 to 15, 15 plus 8 is 23. 23 for Lethika. That was a disadvantage. Yeah, perfect. So he is going to, once again, distracted,

just like last time he's going to miss as he reaches out towards Jericho. However, he is going to reach out towards Marius and Lethaca. and grabbing onto both of you, he is going to open up two of his maws and toss you down into his stomach. And so let me do the damage on that. You don't like you come back, come with me.

The amount of times we've come down to this guy, fucking, right. Lethika, 11 points of slashing. It's really tiring after all this, you know. Nine points of slashing. Oh, you take half, you take half, okay? And then you, Lethika, you are going to take Oh, half rounded up or down?

A 17 points of piercing damage. Half, half. Ooh, this is a new date. And you are going to take 11 points of piercing damage. Okay, half. Why don't you guys take me half? It's part of the thing. What do they?

What thing? It's part of the ancestors. If he hits someone who's not me, the resistance to the damage. So we're both followed? You're both followed. Wait, is that way no one dies in beneath their winds?

Yeah, yeah. It's that, as long as you hit them once. and they make attacks even if it hits they're absolutely nerfed down it's hard to hit them and even if you do hit them they're resistant to the damage

that it's done wow I've never I've DMed for you for Toa for three years I didn't know that I've played your room for 19 sessions and I didn't know that it's a mega deep buff

why do I have well because of his ancestral guardian thing it's a barbarian thing the vengeance of my ancestors you just saved my life in the best way I had 15

health points and this fucker did 28 points of damage. So I have one hit point left. Nice. He can actually do one more thing, so I think I'm gonna do it. He just digested to. Because he doesn't need all four of his arms.

True. Because he has a stinger and wings. What? So, yeah, he has a gargoyle. Oh, yeah, he is at wings. Okay, he is, even though it's only gonna hit one person instead of two, he's gonna make a wing

attack against your Grim. So is he an advantage against you? Disadvantage. You'd be a neutral. You'd be a normal advantage. Yeah. Is that right? He rolled a natural 18.

So that is 26 to hit. Well, pretty close to marriage a shield. Yeah, you're not that close. Oh. Oh, nice. Doing 16 points of bludging damage. I need to make a- paralyzed, isn't he?

Huh? Yeah. Oh, shit. That's like an auto-pruddered. Yeah, it is. It is. Oh, it is. I thought you just met it in a ditch. No, no.

The butter fountain. 22 points of bludgeoning damage. Yeah. Oh, don't you worry out. Number now. And a strength saving throw. Your advantage on that because you're raging. Rich, thank God you're a money.

Yeah. Cucon! Cucon! Cucon! Cucal! Would paralyze? Would paralyze, would paralyze, would cancel it? Would it be normal?

Oh. You automatically feel strength and deck saving throws. So you are automatically pushed 10 feet, and you were knocked prone. Oh, 10 feet towards the shield, oh. And that is his turn. Cool. Lathaca, ladies.

Here we are all again together. Beautiful. Yeah, I'm putting, I'm like putting a brief to packing my key in furniture at this point. I've got a fucking manual out. We might as well make it home. Not really here this time of year. Marius, I dropped the Allen wrench.

Um, what if we kiss inside the belly of the herald of gluttony? Just joking. I'm there. There's nobody allowed. You wouldn't have to tell anyone. We're supposed to be abandoned me. Oh, at the start, I have not been doing this, but I am going to start doing this now.

At the start of your turn within his stomach, you are supposed to take damage. Oh, you're dead. Your test. That doesn't matter. Four, points of fire damage? Yeah, I'm fucking dead. You're dead. Yeah, fuck you.

You know, we're about to kiss and then he drops like that IKEA Furnisher would never be fully because another. The instruction manual says there's 18 pegs and there's only 17. No! And so, and yeah, Lethika falls unconscious. Okay, cool. And then he is going to use a legendary action to make a claw attack against Jericho.

Oh, gosh. And that's a disadvantage, isn't it? Yes. Okay, so it misses. Okay, Farron. I am going- Sorry, Derek. 19 per chapters, I can't get one.

How do you want to do this? What I'll say is there's no chance you're gonna get out of you to do this on that, I'm gonna come screaming like a banshee from my with my staff raised and swipe out at him. What does that sound like? Yeah, what does it sound like? I need you all to roll wisdom savings.

I press my ear to the insuffe my ear to the insuffe. I press my ear to the inside of the beast. What in God's name is that? I need to twist this. If I wasn't already away, I never done. You need to twist me. The wisdom, save me. Oh.

14. I'm gonna use my inspiration. No, no, no, no, no, no. There's a joke. And I mean, a natural 20. No. No. Nox place.

Noss plays. And so that is gonna be, are you inside his belly or outside? Out. Outside. I'm outside. his belly. That's important. It seems important. I mean you just stick in the like the chunk hole on the scene and push them out. Oh God. Get your staff into that jungle. Come on. And just

shove. This is children's chill. There's someone unconscious in that chunk hole. We do that we stuff. Hey, watch your pumpkin. I'm in here still. No, I'm awake and I can feel it. Oh, that's those handlers? That's where the missing penguin. And as I do, you will see my staff start to glow glue and grow some additional fungi and some things will start to sprout out of it. And I will use withering entropy. So he will take some additional to product damage on that hit. I don't know what that even is.

That's all my special beast of light. Okay. So you take four points of fire damage. Oh, I'm not conscious. If I didn't actually, I take damage to the right? If I didn't get any damage at all. That's 17 damage. I haven't liked that Neo-Wa.

17 damage? Yes. And you said four? Yeah. Of fire. You move up to him. You take a bit of fire damage. That fiery aura is spinning around him.

You are feeling the pull of sin as the bell's ring over and over and over again. But he does not stop. and his desire and his hunger for food and gluttony. And he takes the damage. He is looking very rough. You can clearly see your friends inside of this entity. Lethaca sinking down into the acidic stomach acid. Why am I trying to take this serious?

So when that fire damage comes out, me or my- Jesus Christ. I'm sorry. I can't control our bodies sometimes. The runes on my antles were starting to glow glue. Abby asked, did you double it for the crit? I did, yeah.

I just pulled pretty shitty. But thank you for us. You're also very frail for your person. Yeah, I basically have hollow bones. I will absorb that fire damage and save it for later. Very cool. And so that is that turn. He is going to use.

use a layer action and he is going to make a claw attack against Farron. Farron, you're looking a little skinny if you consider the seaside triad. 18 to hit? That does hit. Okay. And then he is going to attempt to devour you. He fails. I'm actually going to use a twister dread. Oh. Bingo. He succeeds. Bingo. Bingo. Bingo. Bingo. Bingo. Bingo. Bongo. You are going to take FACC, seven points of slashing damage for the claw attack, and you are going to take... Oh, 16 points of damage for the devour.

As you slice into him, the fire whips around you, and you almost, you look like you consume it. He looks towards you his large tongue. His tongue flops out of his mouth as he licks around his lips. He opens up his ball. his head shoots down and he consumes you and devours you. You're now inside. Oh, he did you, Prince.

Yeah, a lot of it's still sizzling, like, actually sizzling. And that was his legendary action, and he's used all three of them, I think. Oh, I forgot you guys, legendary reactions back. Gosh. Yeah. Gorghum. What can I do? What any of this stuff had to be able to me for my?

from my fever. Oh, no. You just get to, you... Skip your turn. Yeah, you just skip your turn. Skip your turn. Dun, da, da, da, da, start your read.

Oh, it's not the end of his turn? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Because this is different than the terrain action. This is the layer action. It's for one minute, but you can repeat the save at the end of your turn.

Oh, okay. So it is the end of your turn, but you can repeat the same. We twist until it gets out. If you have the twists. Do we have the twists? Yeah, there's one. We got one.

We got one. so far. Thank you, Jay. Let's see what happens. Just one. Come on. Jesus. You can get, we got another. We got another. I don't know.

It just is not. Five, two, and five. I don't think it's meant to be. Pull it. One more time. Four times. It's what I've always. This is why I have a crippling

gambling addition. One more time. Send it, send it. The next poll is the one. Yeah, exactly. Here we go. I can't possibly fail. Go fuck it up.

What is it? What is the thing? What is the thing? You are looking for last supper, 14. Is it saved? Wisdom safe. And you're not inspired. Not.

Spartagnation. 10 minutes. Has it been nine and a half minutes since I was barter conspiracy? Were you barred in inspiration during the second half of the fight or during the first half? That's all my goodness is good. Because we got, I got, bye.

We tried. Lobster biscuit is awfully tasty. So no, you are still, you are still, You are still frozen drinking the butter fountain. Just chilling. Well, you're prone now, so you feel that the butter fountain is just hitting your face. You've never been having.

I just wanted this until it just started happening to be. With that, it is the terrain action. And so I need you all to, yes. Is there, are we no longer affected by our? No, you'll be affected by something new this time. Oh, so good. What is the hell is it? If you're within five feet, you're at disadvantage.

I need you to make a wisdom saving throw. You have for him and one if we're dead. Then you automatically fail, and so this happens to you if you become unconscious. Or conscious. Double 18s. A lot of twist for me. I passed.

What am I rolling? Your wisdom saving throw. If you are within 14 feet of him or inside of him, you're at disadvantage. Do you know the DC? It is 17 if you are within five feet of him or inside of him. I'm gonna use my actual inspiration.

Can I twist? Can I quest? I roll the natural one on my inspiration. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. How do you win this game without quiz? 18. Well, we made these fights to be that one.

You know what? Fuck him. I got one twist, that's fine. Thank you for the twist. It was meant to be. So who has failed? I feel sinful. 17?

Is there one we haven't gotten yet? At least 42, maybe? What did you get? You still have to roll it just in case something happens that you're no longer. Would I automatically fail something? Okay, sure. That's wisdom. Absolutely.

Yeah, now you do. Okay. We're back down. So those who failed, including your grin now. Roll a D6 for me, please. I got a six. You're filled with wrath. Filled with anger and fury against your allies.

Use reaction to make a single attack against an ally. You may move up to your movement to get to them. Bracey, I'm coming to wake the fuck up, you lazy gator. Oh, are you on the ground? I'm awake. I just mechanically can't stand up yet. Oh, gosh. You know what?

Can I give you two just for the fun of it? Well, you're dead. So no, we'll give you four. Your envy once again. So you really can't do anything. It doesn't matter. Oh. I wish I went to live.

And I will give you number two Just because you are lust You find the grotesque form of Archbishop Renault irresistible And you find him charming You are dominated and charmed by him Until the next terrain action So you are being governed in butter Staring at him

You're ready It's just in my heart This is more horror It's more horror kick done in the archbill What's the last thing that's ever happened Bishop shorn me for the feast. Oh, that's good. Oh, now.

Please don't rub your nipples. Please don't rub your nipples, please don't rub your nipples. The butter fountain is, whoa. I got a 15 on crazy that run out with my circle. I'm gonna cut this fucking gaiters, et al. I don't even move, you just mess. I walk forward. Ah! Oh, Gersh, you're over there.

I'm angry. Take more turn and make. mechanically stand up. It's Briggs' Staking. I was trying to take him out. You wake me. Get the fuck out.

You get the fuck out. You know what, Briggs are you put up with your shit for too long? I'll put up with his shit for too long. All right, Archie. Let's split you open and see what's inside. And I'm going to walk up to... It's your friends and party members.

You're not to walk up. I'll throw the evil eye at him and you'll see this like neon... Magenta Crossroad appear on him as I will hex him and I will summon the cutlass into my hand and attend Where the crossroad is I'm gonna slice in each direction of the Love that. He's cross slash like cloud in the final things is that right I'm using my limit break It's not a cross though. He makes a square first and then there's an X. Why is it called cross slash? Cross in the

International universe is he is he is he is he stunned from the haste or no? No. He's fully active. They have not, he actually has haste, and so I should have done this one? His ace should be like 20. One's a crit. Nice. The twisting one is

A. Almost a crit. Almost a cr. Almost a crick. Almost a cr. PlayStation, the X is the cross. Cretting and hit. That's true. What is that I have to do with the cross? Because he makes, he draws an axe. He draws a square first.

He puts it in the, puts the cross in the square. It's just doing it by the book. He's checking the box. Come on, finish his, guy. Yeah, you're coming around on it. You don't want to be. Well, you're coming around. The butter, five.

You're probably got enough. Oh, Dantongedonged. Rose Moss Pocket says, I love how I come in right when I find out your room is covered in butter. He's also- I don't even have to role-play it.

If he wasn't paralyzed, he'd be suggestively rubbing himself. Ugh. But he can't move, so he's just laying there, spouting nonsense about the other. That's under Oprah, boy. I never get to squeeze out these little cups of butter. That's gotta be it. It's disgusting, but they taste delicious.

You let loose the full power that Mr. Crossroads has given you. And you watch as bits of flesh are blasted off of the Archbishop. He begins to fall over for a second, but he catches himself, and he rises back up and continues to stare hungrily at you. And he is hasted, so he's gonna make two actions.

Going back away. Very fast. Well, he's gonna use his reaction to make an attack on you. That's fine. That's fun. No, it's not. Welcome to fucking Uno. Beats. Shield!

Shield! Does a hasted reaction get two attacks? No. Damn it. That would have been great. But his legendary action will get two attacks as he is going to make two attacks against Jericho. Can't get there.

Goodbye friend. Claw attack against Jericho. 14 plus 8 is more than your Azee. No. Because I didn't hit them much. And so that is... Oh, your rate is dropped. Yeah, I know.

That's eight points. That's eight points of slashing. No matter. I had to deal damage. Four take damage. That's almost one. Oh. Eight points of slashing.

I want to see if it's advantage. It's disadvantaged. It wouldn't matter. I would hit you a disadvantage. I have one hit before you live. Well, you're going down because he's going to devour you. 18. 18?

Yeah, that's enough. Oh, wait for. Oh, look. As I'm really, it's fine, it'd be rolling. In Crossroads, you'll see, you'll see that hex for a low impulse. Nine plus eight is 17.

It is. Meeter meet or B. That's right? Yeah. So you were thrown, and I'm not gonna roll the damage, you immediately throw in in your unconscious. So you both are unconscious.

He gets another claw attack because he's hasted, or another attack because he's hasted. So, he is going to wing attack Briggsie. Fittg-Grom-Ked-Gy-G-G-G-T-G-T-Megg-T-W. Bridgy, 20. Oh, no, this is. And that is his last, his final legendary action.

Marius. Marius. I'm no longer affected by the Pride, correct? No longer affected by Pride. I am once again in this horrific place. It's happened way too much. I see my friends dying. I look at the shovel and I think to myself,

by God, I don't know what came over me. I'll have to apologize to you, O'Rroom. And then I pull back and I make two attacks. This thing, as the shovel begins to glow golden. And I will attempt to, yeah, we'll see what happens. Oh, I'm disadvantaged. All this shit. Gosh, sit.

You're on. Why are you disadvantaged? I'm inside him. We're all trained in the stomach. Oh, yeah. He did eat. Yeah, four of us are, uh, one attack.

I was gonna attack. I wasn't lying when I said, y'all better kill him or he's killing you. Oh, we got this, we got this. Come on, come in with me, cool. Big money, big money. Shit. That one's gonna be an 18 to hit.

That hits. This one is going to be a 17. That misses. Twista, twist it. We need to at least get puked up. Do we know what the trigger is? besides his damage from his 20 points of damage from inside of his stomach.

So I can't free him, I can't, I couldn't free them period. Nope. All right, so that's one hit. You try punching him really hard in the gut. See if it works. Yeah, I did it run on his gut. I did the whole cross slash.

I'm like, ooh, it's gonna like split open, like, like in the vinyl pigstands. Yeah, fuck it. I'm gonna use Seamed for the junk. I'm gonna use my final, my final spell slot here. Second level divine smite. Oh, okay.

I mean, I like, I have to fucking... I would have to pull all fucking ones to basically fuck this up. So let's see how badly I can do that. Now I were golden. That's a fucking max damage with the shovel. That's going to be 22, 22, 24 plus five is 29 points of damage

with my holy God behind the shovel. How do you want to do this? Again, I just kind of feel bad that I took your room shovel. I don't really, you know, I feel bad about it, but I see the opening. I see some semblance of pale moonlight pouring in from where Briggs E did this massive amounts of damage,

and I would take the shovel, the sharp edge of the shovel, and basically try to slash at him to cut his belly all the way open so that me and all of my friends can pour out with all of his innards and spill out onto the Bell Tower floor. And you do that. Archbishop Rinald looks upon all of you with his foreheads, now so bloated with the weight of the countless sin and sacrifice he has consumed for all of fulsants, that it looks like he's at risk of popping, despite his stone gargoyle body.

With all of his effort, he brings down both of his massive demonic wings to blast you with wind as he places four hands on his stomach and finally says, I'm full. With that same motion, you see the enormous forearmed gargoyle, take off into the air. Crashing through the roof of the bell towers, the stone and wood plummets to the city streets below, crushing townsfolk beneath the ruins.

He turns his attention skyward as he takes off into the night, ascending ever higher towards the tiny silhouette in front of the leering hag moon. You have one round to attempt to stop him. Choose what your attack is or what you're going to do. Roll the damage, tell me what it is and we'll see if you can do it. How far away is he? You can all hit.

Okay. Even me? I will save you. Everyone gets an attempt to try to stop him. He's hanging on by a bare thread, but he's doing what he is told, and he is heading towards the moon. So you have-

Marius cut us all out before- Marius cut you all out. You all spill down to the floor. He was able to, he's holding on by a bare thread as he's rocketing towards the moon. You all have essentially six seconds in unison to try and stop the night of sin. Except for you, because you're,

unconscious roll. And Jericho. And Jericho because you're unconscious, that's gonna make it really tough. I would just, I would immediately see, I would immediately see that he's getting up and I would, after I gain my bearings, I would just redouble and try to hit him in the head

with a shovel. So you choose what attacks you're going to do, roll them. His AC is lowered because he is flying up towards the sky and severely wounded. So I'll do it, just I don't have to monitor you and you just tell me what you're getting. One attack or normally?

Two. Just one attack? It would be as if you were getting your full round of combat. Okay. What's the damage on the source? His AC is now 16. If you're reeling it with two hands, it's one D10. 17 and 25. Those hit. 20 points of damage. Total. Really? Yeah. 5 plus 5 plus 5 plus 5.

Okay. Oh, can I twist it? Yes. Use twists. It's pop-popping time. Thank you. 36 damage. Really? One more.

One more. One more, one more, one more, one more, one more time. Think about low at 20 and vision in the 20. Are you stressed out? Fuck! You're only, you're halfway there. That's a two, not a 20. Yeah, halfway.

Use another twist. You need, everyone needs to pull the weight for also Jericho. You have to remember your two people down. And this was intended to be for all six available. It's not been to be. I've rolled three twos and a three. There we go. I can't.

Should you do one more, double or nothing? Double or nothing. Yeah, pull one another one out. Quadruple or nothing. Just from die, we're from die. Natural done, here we go. 17.

Okay, 17. That hits. That hits, or is 21. Okay. I'd say you want to re-roll this damage. That was ridiculous. I don't think you can use twists on damage. Oh, yeah.

Basically, you roll the 20s. Yeah, just tell me what the damages. Is it actually like, you can fire stuff? Yeah, if you told me it's all fire you get an extra Gd6 fire but he's immune to fire. Duh. Yeah. Let's try though.

Yeah. Sorry. What did damage? What did you do? 30. Nice. So I'm not far, but basically as he's flying away, I want to just pull out the voodoo gun and just sort of like close one eye.

It was in max range and we'll, psh, pshu, I just shoot him twice. Love that. 20 huge. I'm attacking with my, with my staff again. and using that withering entropy to imbue that with extirate product damage and then the store fire damage that I have. Oh, he's fine.

Okay, no. Yes, what's the fire damage? How much fire damage was it? Well, it does. It does. I'll roll fire damage if that's. No, I am saying that I have to take away the fire damage. He's immune to fire damage.

I have to strike. Well, you have to. You're playing. I'm trying to cheating. I'm trying to cheat. As he flies up, Marius, Jorgheim, you are hardened fighters at this point, and without even a second,

between your fight with him, you waste no, you waste no time as you slice into him, doing a significant amount of damage. Farron lets out everything she's got. and it is not enough. He flies higher and higher into the air, 100, 200, 300 feet. As Briggsie steps up, pulls out his gun. Blast.

One of his wings flies off, but the other one is able to carry him higher and higher and higher. Blast as he begins to fall and plummet. Got him. I was looking for 100 points of damage. you did 101 points of damage. What's fucking God! What the fuck? It's too good.

He had 106 when Kelsey said some of us fire damage and I'm like, oh shit. How much fire damage? She's like five. I'm like fucking God. It wasn't accepting. Shit. Nogel heartburned indigestion of stomach diarrhea. Vicious mockery for one point.

Let's fucking go. With that final strike, your last chance to stop the so-called moonlit rebirth. You see all four of the massive gargoyles' heads roll back as the fiendish glow in all eight eye sockets go dim, and he begins to plummet back to Cyril below. The last light of Archbishop Danton Alexander Renault, not the silver light of Fultus,

but the demonic glow of sin is snuffed out. The corpse of the creature smashes directly on top of the fountain in the town square, sending bricks and water everywhere at first. But then, as the fiendish stone flesh of the bloated beast ruptures, the terrible demonic energy and black witchcraft from the countless sins he has consumed spews into the air, as the slithering silhouette of a Baylor takes off into the sky, but only for just a moment. As the swirling, undulating mass of Eldridge energy attempts to rise skyward as if called by some external force, a dense mist falls over the city. Through the mist you see flecks of ghastly green

light and these moats swarm together to surround the fragment of the demon and all of the sinful power until nothing remains beyond a cool autumn's mist at twilight. The last of the bailor has been banished from Drusconwald. In turn, you hear a rumbling crack seven times in secession as the enormous black bells that surround you splinter and fall to sheets of inert metal. The beings that wander out of the mist into the streets of Cyril are human. Gone are the red eyes and black horns. Their humanity restored, albeit confused and sick to their stomach, the simple human folk of Fulcense gather in the town square to surround the slain beast that had once been the lord of their province. And as if on cue, once a large enough audience is gathered, you watch as the massive stone corpse of the gargoyle

head of gluttony shrinks down to the frail body of Archbishop Renault. His innards burst outward through his gore-stained robes. The people of Cyril finally witnessed firsthand the true nature of the man who led them down the one true path. Meanwhile, the six of you stand among the ruins of the bell tower at the highest point in the cathedral

of the blinding light, barely standing at this point. Archbishop Renalta's dead. The seven Baylor of sin have been banished and the night of sin has been stopped. Mother midnight is nowhere to be seen, but it's clear to you now more than anything. You have saved full sense. You've all leveled up and that is where we'll end the session.

Oh yeah! Thank you very much. I can't wait to recount all of this, Slatika. You're just making first we see you in the dog. Okay, hold on. Oh, it's natural one I'm dead! Wait, wait. You're good. That's funny. You're actually a natural one.

So great this camera, great boss fight. You're out. Great boss fight, great session. Oh, yeah. That was an awesome fight. Oh, wow, that was cool. Yeah, I'm sorry that it's so late. Thank you for staying late. It's midnight. Oh, I didn't even notice.
