Welcome to Legends of Aventress. I'm Derek Hudson and you're listening to Icebound. Here's what happened last time. Wait for a sign. If we must rally, we will be at your side. Come, Wilbur. Is it a miracle you still live? You may not be so lucky again.

Join us, please. I like to know what's the meaning of these drums and where are you at it? We're new in this city and We don't understand what's going on. You should get back to your home. The drums, the princesses, issuing commands. She is asking us to assemble. Oye, us?

You say that we go to our own? The frost hammers. O'y, the frost hammers, aye, gathering all your kin. Quivik and I think that she has assembled enough gold. Perhaps this will be the last piece she needs. You were consumed by this Aurora, by this. this curtain of magic and blinking, you begin to fall into what feels like a dream. Onward then, to conquest, to dominion, to an empire where the warmth of the sun is but a distant memory.

Rise all and claim this world as your own in the name of Kaskatchee, the prince of wrath. And there's this massive explosion as you realize that you are staring at a young, but still massive and powerful ice dragon. The Princess of Rath rises from this shattered ice and is born into the space of the execution site. Roaring. All of a sudden, her wings unfurl, and you realize you were staring at the moment

that the Princess of Rath was born. Sometime in the last day, You see Queenie and Daisy, it's hard to make out exactly what's being heard. You see the two of them are standing before what is a great arch, our hard way. And you see Whisper Fang is standing there demanding something. Queenie is clearly stressed and trying to argue, but the princess has Daisy in her touches. It has been nearly a year since the day you all first met in a sweat-drenched tavern in Wuzzi, and you could not be farther from home.

Not only have you been swept up in the politics and violence of the brutal frozen lands of Drakar, but you find yourselves now swept up by a vision carrying you through the life of a woman named Sigdeth, now known as the Princess of Rath. At first, you did not recognize what you were witnessed. A young woman caught between the duty of her tribe and the wrathful disfigured man known as Kastan. Figgis' life would be defined by her betrothed as he grew into a warlord, fighting for independence and survival from the kingdom known as the Silver Dominion. Desperate times would force her and Kestan to the woman in the mountains, and you watched as Kastan's desperate bargain turned him into the demon giant known as Kaskatchee. It was not enough.

The magic of the silver dominion banished Kaskatchee to some faraway realm and left Sigdis to face her own and alone. When the time came, however, another intervened, and Sigdis was reborn as the figure you know her as today, the princess of wrath. When her vengeance was finally slaked, the princess hid herself in a frozen corner of the world and entered a long slumber. Centuries passed, and the cobalds who found and awakened her worshipped her as a god, urging her to take her rightful place as ruler and unite the disparate tribes of Dracar under her reign. And so she did. Now your visions have brought you to nearly the present day, where you stand somewhere within the biting bastion. Try as you might, your words go unheeded, and all you can do is watch as the events place.

lay out before your very eyes. Before you stands the Princess of Rath, gripping Daisy with one hand and gesturing with the other. Queenie stands defiantly, her bow in her hand, watching and waiting for a moment where she could intervene.

On the other side of the chamber watches Whisper Fang, and you recognize the artifact that lays by his feet, the hexature armament. Queenie, the Princess of Rath commands, give them to us now

and no harm will come to your friend. It would mean a great deal to me. Queenie shakes her head and refuses her, telling her to release Daisy. Queenie, I won't ask again. I told you I wanted to show you something, and here we are. I am being so, so merciful. All I ask for is the precious seeds of yours. Give them to me, and I will spare your friend's life and yours.

Queenie looks to the door towards where you stand now, this terrible vision, hoping beyond hope that somehow her friends will join her by her sign. But you are not there. Daisy jerks and gestures, clearly pleading to Queenie for her not to give in, to fight, to run. But the princess tightens her grip and you see Daisy's hands go to her throat and coat with frost. Your time is up. Five, four, Daisy's eyes roll and her lips turn blue. and I'll do it, Queenie relents.

The princess softens, and you hear the deep intake of breath as Daisy coughs for air. Good. Do it slowly. Queenie reaches into her pack and retrieves a small satchel, the one you know containing the Faywild seeds gifted to her by her friend and mentor Eldred, and tosses them to Whisper Fang's feet who snatches them up hastily snickering. You watch healthlessly, as he runs. rummages through the bag. They're here.

Now, Queenie, your bow, your pack, your honeypot, put them down, you're coming with me, and we must hurry. I have a wedding to attend. Whisper Fang retrieves one of the dormant seeds between two fingers, its surface sparkling as though

dusted in small diamonds, and places it atop the hexature armament. A moment, my princess. He titters, and beneath his breath he speaks, almost sighing to the relic. Its top begins to turn faster and faster, and the seed responds in kind. But unlike the magnificent tree that emerged at the top of that mountain at the start of winter so many months ago, the creeping plant that springs forth looks withered. Branches and bark interweave-like vines, twisting into ends that produce no leaves.

The root turns and grows and lashes toward in a full. Tall arc, straddling the room and forming a portal. Oh, shit. Where there was a window overlooking Argent home, the image clouds and warps. Beyond, a path into a frozen forest stretches out before Queenie and the Princess of Rath. There's no normal forest. The snow between the thin, leafless trees hugs the ground in shades of blues and purples and gray. Everything shimmers with a natural iridescence.

between the branches of waterfall made of pure ice flows down surrounded by dancing tentacles of snow. By the time the magic is completed, so is Queenie. The Princess steps forward and trades her captive for the rabbit folk, grabbing Queenie by the ears. Daisy falls to whisper inside as the Princess steps into another realm. Keep her safe. Tell no one. I will be back as soon as we have found what I have been looking for so long. Freedom long last. You race forward to follow and find yourself blocked at the threshold of the portal.

The princess strides into the forest and a figure from between the trees emerges, a robed figure with thin wings like winter leaves and eyes like a deer greet's the princess. And as your vision fades, you spy a silver charm hanging from around his neck, fashioned into the shape of a six-pointed flake of snow. moments later you come back to yourselves there in the simple dwelling of what you might call home Tyshen sits his legs crossed sweat beating down his scales

you all stand as you were chest heaving with emotion what happens next is up to you oh that already happened did Mr. Fireblossom what the fuck what's the nature of the sorcery you cast

Oh, that was the first time I've done that. Oh, God, I'm gonna be sick. Oh, ha! Oh, that was fun more than I thought it would be. All right, no time for vomiting, Mr. Stavisgotsch. We go to the bastion and do what we should have done weeks ago with that foul villain, whispersifying. I should have stuck to my guns.

I should have listened to my gut. You should have let me do it. Cowards! As I will grab my anchor, I'm going to grab my harpoons, as I am going to basically go to my things and prepare for... prepare to leave immediately.

What? We're too late? We're too late. It was before the wedding. I don't care. Whisper, Vang, may be there. yet and as long as Whisper Fang has his head not came to in there's much for us to do, Mr. Stavisconch. This change is nothing.

This changes everything. We were there. We experienced it together. She was good ones. She was a human. Princess fell to power to save her people, not to damn them. But what has she become? She has yet to show mercy. Perhaps she can be reasoned with still, but scream is right. There is no urgency that you believe. This was hours and hours and hours ago. Tashem, this power, has grown within you. I feel it growing stronger, but it felt almost like a resonance with her.

I wouldn't have expected that in any other search. That felt different. We might have the dragon soul within you, lad. Oh, well done. Keep fostering that. And Mr. Yorneur, what was the nature of that realm? It looked of winter. Do you know it? That's a good point. What do I know of what I presume is a certain realm? Being a fear bulb.

Of winter. A winter of fear bold. Roo, roo, roo. I don't know what it is. I'm just asked you, Mr. Yorne. I suppose a history in Arconacek is a number. order. I love that. I'm going to pull up my character sheet now. That would be a good idea. View. As Dornier goes into deep contemplation and the adrenaline

starts to calm for what it's worth in your body, you realize that the light pouring in through the windows indicates that some time has passed. It is perhaps very early morning. Oh, wow. So it's even more. And you realize that you've all enjoyed the benefits of a long rest. Oh, hot damn. Hell yeah. How much time has passed since the wedding?

A day? A day? When you went into your vision, had just come back from the wedding night. That was the night. Yeah. So there was the day of preparation, and there was two or three other days between that since Queenie and Dini, since Queenie and Daisy left. So sometime between then and the...

day of preparation that you had and the, you're all putting this together, what the timeline might have looked like. It could have been two or three days ago when you saw that vision of the princess of wrath confronting Queenie for her seat. The ceremony when the princess was actually there and spoke to us, that was in like the morning of the wedding, though, right? Or like the early afternoon? Afternoon. Make a history check as you think back to the events in what order.

And presumably we have no idea how long she was gone. Oh, she went in there and then she came back. Oh, yeah, no. She had to come back. Yeah, she had to come back. Oh, yeah, yeah. Wait, who the fuck knows? The 17.

It could be. With a 17. A week. It could have been a week? Yeah. With the 17, you feel very confident. In fact, you remember the, the princess didn't show up until late afternoon. Until the festivities happened.

She was, she apologized for being late. Could have been that day? I rolled a natural 20, plus six for Arcana. That's 26. That's 26. When else fucking go for you? The unnatural look of the realm and what you have heard, tale of, tells you that this is a dominion of the Faywild. Something that Queenie is very much attached to, but this is not the bright chipper stories of fairies that are sometimes told.

You are familiar enough to know that there are pockets within the Fay Wild that are. not all, beautiful flowers and beautiful fay, but instead what is, some people refer to as the Winter Court. It was a portal to the realm that Queenie had a connection to the seas why Winterfeng needed the seeds. Why would she seek entrance to such a place? What could she gain then? And who was she meeting with? with? The realm. It is a realm of winter.

Oh yeah, she is already an avatura of winter, so to speak, perhaps. Yes. She wishes to be an empress of the cold of death? We cannot know. But certainly she goes to gain more power. This is for sure. If she wished Queenie dead, then she is already dead. There is nothing that can be We should go, yes. But if we rush ahead now, we throw away everything we have been through, and we may die ourselves.

We cannot storm the Bastion. I think there's still a chance we might be able to turn her. But even if we can't and it comes to blows, we have to unite the tribes first. I don't think so. I think we have to put an end to this right now. I mean, a few dozen more souls first, at least. There's time for that.

We should have done what we were supposed to do the moment we came to this fucking city. The moment we saw his bee little eyes. Talk some sense to him. Come on. We have the chance to build an army. But this will not be done overnight. It will take days. the ritual

for the orcs perhaps the dwarves if not more if there is any sense of urgency we what about the drums what about the mustering of all the cobalds they skitter at the beck and coal of whisper fan

I know that to be true we don't yet know why though we cut the head over the sea serpent The Cobuls, how will we get into the bastion? There must be ways. There are ways I could get in. Maybe others of you, but all of us. There are countless tales of great castles with enchantments,

infiltrated by nothing more than a common smuggler, carrying onions and droid fish, with black sails, a simple ship against all the greatest craftsmanship stonework and spells of a kingdom. Look, I want to go on record here just saying, I'm not opposed to killing the guy. I'll just let his drop myself. But, you know, getting in there unnoticed

and starting a whole war is not part of the plan. Armament. That metal man, the thing that he wanted, that is the key. Regardless of what the princess wanted with Queenie and her seeds in this realm of winter, that armament is the key and only whispered Vang knows out of use. We cave his skull in there.

There's nothing left for her. And then what? And then we face the princess and we kill her? And then what, when the metal army comes? We will cross that latitude when it comes to it. The four of us? With an anchor? And our magics?

Why, it was... It'll be more than enough. Do you doubt everything we've done, Mr. Foyer, Blossom? Do you doubt or power? What we've done? The things that we fought on that ship in the sky, from another world, another realm, from beyond the stars. About Bonobos, I don't think it's so much about what we've done.

It's what we haven't done yet. Rob matched you. I'm not just saying that because I'm a coward. They've done amazing things. Bonobos is true. I've seen my regret. So many times. Oh, he just had to close the distance

He wouldn't have had a chance to Mutter a spell before I snapped his neck I mean, maybe Ripped him and have gutted him Like a fucking harrow You underestimate him Yeah, he might have peeled you like a grape man Oh, he don't think so

Still your primal rage Do you wish to be the chieftain Of this tribe? I do But a chieftain takes courage, strength And I think at this point rage She's the princess of wrath I will give her wrath.

That is what she asked for, is it not? We will give her what she wants, and she will regret it. Those are admirable qualities, Barnabos. It's true, but you can't fall to shame. We can't rush in there because you feel like you should have killed him the first time, but that the princess needs to pay now. To write a mistake?

Well, that's more than enough of a reason, don't you think? If I could find... The woman in the hut. Thing. I could speak to her. You do not. You are not serious. From the visions.

Yes. She spoke to me. That thing. You fear the princess? And then suggest to go face that thing. That was no woman. The look of her nose. The look of her teeth.

They look in her eyes. I'm with Bonobus on this one. That was some freaky shit. I'm just thinking of her face. Brings a black omen over this house. She is powerful. I know that, Mr. Yornear. But it's only through that power

while we're in this predicament. Look at those that made it pact with her before. Great power was offered, and each one fell or changed horrifically. I don't think she can be trusted. Look what it has done for the princess, given her all of this. She is a powerful vulva, a great witch, and she knows the heart of the princess. If anyone could reason with her, it could certainly be her.

She saw us through that dream, whatever it was. She saw us. She reached out to us. She spoke to us. That wasn't no echo. That twerked Mr. Fireblossoms magic. I may not know about your sorceries. Or your primal magics, but I know enough of them to know that. Now she pierced beyond. Yes. Those are powers that we should not be meddling with. Or we'll end up with the fate far worse than hers, far worse than her kings. Look, buddy, take it from me. You don't want to be. going around making bum deals. We do not have to make a deal.

But if her power was granted, it can be taken away. Perhaps there is no time. But her control over the weird, she can see and communicate through time, through space. She said she would see us again. Give me the hebi-jibis.

I like reach in. I threw some soft. salt over my shoulder, I spin around. I look around and I just start pulling salt out and I start just casting it across the ground, and across the wood, and if I run out, we'll close it, open it back up, and just like I am just scattering salt everywhere.

You always get three, four, maybe five pinches out before you have to close it and opening it again. It's magically replenished. Easy, clean salt that you can disperse as you like. Look, Yoni, you know that I trust you more than anything. All of you, obviously. I trust you all with my life. We wouldn't have made it this fork.

We didn't, but you gotta understand how crazy this sounds. I mean, even if she can grant and take away the power of the Princess of Wrath, it's like what's gonna want in return, man? I don't know. I just, I've done enough deal-making for a lifetime. Or more, maybe. God knows what's winked me on the other side. Well, I've encountered wishes before.

Your common sea witch, casting shells down by the dots of the average port down, muttering about story wisdom. What we saw in there was not a witch. She was not a woman. It was something, oh, you don't know what it is. A god, something worse. God. Oh, you know what I felt.

This is fine. You are right. We should not become involved. yet turn away an ally even still if we hope to have a chance and have some sense of urgency perhaps we can but now is not the time to raise an army oh you know just us everyone we bring complicates things we get things killed we've already gotten enough ogres killed if we can find the way into the bastion there you know find where the portal was.

Someone must know of a secret entrance. There must be something beyond just the door at the other end of the bridge. Heavily guarded. She is rallying her banners. I be relatively undetected. I got a few trucks out my sleeve. But the two of you...

You get a group intelligence check. I was going to also ask. Those 19, let's fucking go. Come on. Come on it, bro. I didn't have you this time. I also wanted to think intelligence.

That there. Got a dirty, 20. There was mentioned. We have not encountered the dwarfs. But we know that they're minors, and we know they live beneath the city. We've only witnessed them. We've only witnessed the dwarfs.

But we haven't interacted with them. We've heard of something under the ice. Like they're mining under the ice. Did you talk to one at the party? Yeah. Oh, okay. Uh. Oh.

I'm trying to think if we understand of like, do they have a district or is it like a fucking, uh, fucking tunnels? We know there's tons of fucking tunnels all throughout the fucking, because we rode the in. There was the tunnel that led to the market on the eastern side, the western side of the city. And you definitely have heard mention of an under ice. That's exactly right. And so I would say that you automatically pass because you think of your, the neighboring, district that I have been mentioning every time you pass from going to the giant step and back to your own district, next door is what is called the district of the dwarves.

And you've always passed these buildings and they've been effectively abandoned. You've never seen a dwarf go in and out. You've never seen a light in a window. The streets always appear to be empty. You see them in the marketplace. You see them occasionally walking the streets, but the district appears almost shuddered in the same way that it was when you were gifted the district you now call him 19. What was your score? Oh, I got a dirty 20 because I'm a plus one in my in if you're just straight up in check Yeah, 13 13. I say you automatically pass 10.

Nine nine. Scrim, it's at the same time that this may be occurring to Barnabos that you start to put together this idea that there might be some under way to get to the Forger's. Oh my God, I just thought about it. The Dwarven District, I said it first! Toward District! Ah! Yes! I saw it on his face, but I said it first.

It came to me first, I knew it. The Dwarian District! There's gotta be towels all over the mountain! I can see it. He's thinking it, he's thinking it's all over his face. We might be able to. We've only had light parlay with the doors of this city.

They may not let us pass, unperturbed. Would the Queen? allow tunnels to connect to the fortress. We do think if you're... If you are the leader of a tribe, or you're all pitted against each other with quotas, that you're not going to try to have secret tunnels, sunken dug, without the princess knowing.

She's also not the one who built this. So in the visions, she claimed this kingdom from another. And at the end of the day, we don't know how they feel about it. They don't like her. You think they're not going to have some motherfuckin' way in there and keep an eye on and keep tabs on what's going on? Kaba. They might play right into our hands.

I don't care to go beneath the earth. Especially considering every time we do, we unearth some terrible evil without fail. But all you don't know if we have a choice. We could perhaps use the snow as a cover. But all you don't know if we're all, always pierce through the blizzard. If we go to the doors and seek away under the ice in,

we could also potentially see how they feel about her. And if it's like the other clans, we may be able to shatter their binding to her, weakening her even further. They could be a strong ally with direct access right into the bastion. You know, that raises a good question. this bond-breaking thing that we can do now, right? Does it require, like, do they gotta be into it?

Can we just, like, go around? Ooh, I mean, she'd never know the difference, right? Or they have to, like, willingly be like, yeah, fuck that, we're in. Let's break this bond. You or you- Get up. You suspect that it requires, um, uh,

mechanically a saving throw or ability check in order to beat a certain DC based on the person who did the bind. Uh, but that you, as strong magician as you are, magic user as you are, would be able to attempt the same ritual that was shown to you by the elder of the Shadowvale Kabbal, and that you would be able to attempt to break others free in the same way that you've been broken.

But they need to be willing or no? They need to participate, like, kind of in the ritual, right? I think that there needs to be a participation. Even just a, I agree. I agree. They're gonna acknowledge. An acknowledgement would be ritual enough to assert the magic.

This magic stuff sucks. I cannot walk around Dwarf Town and annoy the dwarves out of nowhere, shove my thumb in their face and they're broken. What's the most of having magic powers if you can't impose your will on it. Oh, you certainly... Why haven't you taught me that magic yet? Come on.

It's dangerous. You also know that it requires the totem that all chiefs carry, the actual binding object. Obviously, it requires the totem all, Kee-Chief scary. Okay, all right. Never claimed to be an expert. I thought this was a safe place, Yorny.

I thought there was no wrong answers, no bad ideas, all right? There's no stupid questions. Except when Scrim's asking him, apparently, Tyhian, apparently. That may be true. No, it's not. But continue. Huh? It's all I had to say.

Keep going. That was it. That was it. That was all you had to say. Wonderful. Let's get to the fucking Tuttle's. fucking tuttles, jackasses. That's our only chance.

Are we ready? I have what I need. Do not bring her evil upon us, Mr. Yornear. I will not. I am not afraid of the princess. I am not afraid of her demon, sire. I am afraid of what we saw in that hut. As you command.

All right. I will pray as we walk. I don't, you know, I was already getting I'm not suited up, but I'm ready to go. No more this wedding garb shit, I'm out of it. Fuck this shit. Oh yeah, I'm done. You are able to get into the clothes

that you feel more comfortable adventuring in, the ones that you have traversed most of Dakar in, what patches and injuries you've been able to repair. They feel good on your skin as you start to make your way back out and into the main street thoroughfare of your of a very own district. As soon as the first of you opens the doors, you are blasted with cold.

A massive wind pushes in a huge flurry of snow, and you realize that it is nearly a white-out blizzard outside. Have I talked about how much this weather sucks? I mean, this weather really sucks. I'm getting really sick of this weather. It sucks. Oh, you're right, Mr. Stavis coach. But this may actually do with some good,

be a blessing in disguise. It's very cold. We need to find our way underground. You turn and you start to make your way towards the front, towards the main street that you would normally take to walk from one district to the next. And going down that street towards the entrance, you can hear over the blustering wind, over the blustering cold. It's hard to make out the shapes, but then I die on my own spit. Oh, no. What, don't? Don't, don't, do you break? Do you need some water? I'm fine. I'm fine.

God of this world. Go die over there, not near me. Let me just get it on my shoes. Just go cuddle up over there and if you're going to go die, do it over there. The god dies. You all freeze in motion as the god of the world dies. You are pushing through. kill him. And at the end of the street, where normally there would be an opening

that leaves to the main street, there is what appears to be almost like a wall. And you can hear voices very faintly carrying on the wind. You can hear one, By order of the Princess of Wrath, you are to remain within your district and avoid unnecessary congregation. That's why we built wall.

Ogres stay put. No, no, you must go into your homes. Remain there. We did go in, into barricade. This are home now. You're obstructing official movement through the district. Tear it down and return indoors. We are indoors.

Indoors is wherever we are now. You built a fort in the middle of the road. You're obstructing official movement through the district and tear it down and return indoors. Princess say stay in home. We stay in home. This road are home now. Your fault is not...

This is going back and forth. You vote not be specific. Give them hell. Ogres, give them hell. As you hear the voice. There we go. That's a lad. Is the barricade the only way

like out of our district? Is that kind of like the way out? It's the chief way. All of the districts have sort of a perimeter, so to speak. You're familiar with it. You wouldn't be able to walk a street or two down and then continue on like it's New York

Second Street, third feet. We're not going a couple blocks. If you were to go there, you imagine that you would have to get over a wall in order to go from one, which you can certainly have to do, but this is what confronts you, and these sounds appear to be escalating as you are enduring the harsh weather. And we thought we had to fight ahead of us.

The ogres are fighting the real enemy. Bureaucracy. I'm exactly right. I guess we'll just keep going. We'll just keep pushing forward, trying to get out of here. Does this look like, is this like a big host? I mean, does it look like a war host? I mean, they look like bureaucrats?

They look like... Mechanically speaking... Mechanically speaking... Back in your homes? Back in your homes? You can't see over the other side. What has been built is essentially a full wall that fills the opening of the street at this point

from one side to the other. And you would have to ascend in order to see how big the contingent is on the other side. But you can see that there's a half dozen ogre's standing now on this structure that they've built. They've clearly found stones and found timber and found anything that they can grab, seemingly furniture from some of the interiors of the spaces

in order to protect the district. I don't know if we want to have a quick tactical conversation, but just so all of you know, I can go invisible at will as many times as I'd like. So letting you all know I can cast invisibility at will. Does your mirror know these? I don't think you guys would know that in game. I've never done it.

Yeah. But I'm letting you as players know. Just letting you know what I can do. Okay. I thought that it might be cool to let you know. But yeah, I've never done it. I've never done it before. You hear a voice and you can see that to your side.

Mani has spotted the four of you. Oh, you're finally awake. Hey, Mani, what's going on? Let's get you guys built a barricade? Frosthammer clan is trying to get into district And we are telling them that we are in district Well, you know, don't get in too much trouble You don't want to bring the old wrath down on you

You know what I'm saying? Just you know okay, never mind You don't know what I'm saying Don't worry about it Just, you know Stay out of trouble We are staying out of trouble We are defending our home We are

We build wall You know We can appreciate that Oi Well done Hold the line Hold the line Love isn't always on time

They say Love isn't always on time One of those things have to do with each other We just Keep holding the line many And stay here Do not leave Do not leave the district

We were planning on staying That's why we built wall Yes I'm just making sure do not leave. Stay. We will stay. Wait. And if anyone asks where we are, you don't know. We did not leave.

You were in your home. You all couldn't wake you when Cobol's arrived to tell everyone to stay in. That's even better. That's even better than you don't know. We are playing Parcheese if they ask. Oh, I love that game. What is food? Not cheese.

Not cheese. No. Not cheese. Never mind. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Let's show you another time. Just don't tell anyone anything other than we're in the home.

Oh, you know that. Where are we, Manny? You are not here. All right. No, no, we are here. You are not here. Wait, Mrs. Davids' Scott pretend to be a co-bowl and ask him.

Official business. We're going to do a little bit of practice here. We're gonna pretend. Pretend that I'm... You're out of the belt, where you sell you for it? Yeah, remember? Okay, here we come. Hey, I work for the princess.

Where are the outsiders that were here with you? Where are they? What do you mean, outsiders? You know, the big blue guy and the other big blue guy, and then the little orange guy and the handsome green one. Where are they? Tell us. They are in their home playing cheese.

Perfect. Am I the little orange guy? I will show you where they are. No, no, no, no, you will not show me where they are. No. Like, see gold is ever in me. I'm cold. Pay attention, he's dropping the ball here. No, you're not going to show them where we are.

You're just going to say you can't go there. You're not allowed to see where they are. You cannot disturb them during cheese time. Perfect. There we go. Is that satisfactory? We're all happy with that? Yes. Done. Just remember that.

And if, no matter how hard they push, just keep deflecting. No, you can't. No, you can't. Can't do it. You understand there, man. What if they look in your home? Tell them that we're, I don't know, do we have more than one floor? Upstairs?

There isn't upstairs. Oh, we're upstairs. They can't see up there. It's too high. They're upstairs. You can't see that high. And they're, and if they, and if they, Find our house empty say that there have been sightings of wintry snarks and grumpkins,

and we perhaps got dragged off by them into the winter cold. Yeah. Snarks and grumkins. What are you? And snarks. Well, you don't want to know the tales of snarks and grumkins. You just, they're very horrifying bases. We need to build more wall.

Exactly right. Get through it. Defend against the snarks and grumpkins. We may get carried away in the dead of night. She starts to yell out. Build more wall. We need more of wood and furniture. And you can hear the ogres on the line,

we're building more wall, we're building. And you can hear, no, no, you will tear it down. We need to come in, we need to make sure that you are all inside safe. We need to speak with your chieftain. Now build more wall. And the four ogres at the top turn and they go, Chiefton is here.

What? And they point down, clearly in your design. Sign of a bitch. Let me go the other way. Good, good. Send him up. We need to speak with him. He needs to tear down this wall right away.

Come, come, chieftain. Come. Ah, damn it. We were so close. We should have just walked away. Oh, I think we should go up there. Wee's asking about the chieftain, Mr. Chieftain. Well, we can't let him go up there alone.

I don't do them. He's almost eight feet tall. We don't know what's on the other side. I don't know. What? We haven't seen them yet. I'm gonna call up ice crossbows. Two big cobalt.

Who dare calls for the chieftain of the... He's fine. He's fine. Ice bone castaways. As I climb to the top of the barricade. Who dare calls when there's important tribe duty a foot in the middle of this blizzard. All the drums of war are being sounded? The wind is blowing in all directions

as you watch Barnabos ascend this ramshackle barrier. And once you get to the top, you can finally see over the side, you sort of push your way past and through the ogres, and looking down, you can see that there's a small gang of Frosthammer Cobaltz on one side, a handful of Goliaths cracking their knuckles and looking mean to the other side. And at the bottom, bear in mind that it is still blizzarding quite a bit. So you can't see out more than 30, 40 feet, let's say. But at the center is the one that's clearly been arguing with the ogres.

A robed ivory clutch cobalt with wings tightened up against his back. And looking up very properly, it has the same kind of whisperfang energy, but is not the highest rank. No, I get on with it. You may leave. We need you to care down this. Not interested in whatever you're selling. This is a decree of the... What?

The wind is quite having. We're not interested in whatever you're selling. A decree of the princess, I say. You have to get inside and you have to stay there. We are supposed to monitor all of you. You're not going anywhere until the princess says so. Do you have a warrant? We don't need a warrant.

This is the Foss Hammers. Classic obstinate tactic. I love this. I love this. Keep it up Barnabos. Keep going. I'll really kiss him off. No, thank you.

Get started. No, thank you. No, thank you. You may leave now. The Cheapton of the oisbound castaways has spoken. You may leave. Everyone deserves the princess. Chief, do, no, you must do, as I say.

O'clock, come back with an army if you want us to take it down. Oh, ho. Come back with the warrant. Come back with the warrant. Is there an easy way to get up on top of the... Yeah, it's easy enough. You can either climb up the, like, there, many handholds. There's like chairs and all this is going on.

I'm making my way on next to Barthus. We don't have to do anything for you. Making a way at the Barberman. Is it like a rock or something that I can like, yeah, it's made of rocks. Okay, I'm just like, like, take a, like, a stone, not a big one, just, you know, a little, like, a little, like, a little stone as I'm, like, small and small on that, small and like, golf ball size. And as I get up there, and as Barnabas is yelling, like, at them, I'm gonna, like, kind of climb up on Barnabose be like, hey, hey, didn't you hear the chief didn't go away?

And I'm gonna throw a rock down at one. I'm roll the hit. Ha ha ha. This is fun, Barnabost. I'm glad we're doing this. Oh, boy. You should come down now, Barnabost. What should I add to it?

Like, uh... Just your strength? I miss. Sails off wide in the wind and the... That was a... That's you there! Yeah, that was a warning shot. You better be listening to my chief here,

or, you know, another rocks could come. That was an act of war. No, no, no. It's a little bit of fun. It's a little lighten up. Lighten up, stick. Oh, no, and so that's the problem here. Here in the territory of the icebound castaways,

sniveling bureaucrats are actually killed on site, so you gotta forgive him. A rock smacks you in the side of the head, Garnibos, as one of the Goliath returns fire, and the same golf ball-sized rocks smacks you as you take one point of bludgeoning damage. Hey! Right on the side of the...

Hey! Hey! Who did that? Hey, stop, stop, stop from what you? Who was that? Who is that? Don't know, Bobubus, I'm getting out of a rock. Two Diers! No, no.

They're beginning to snap. We're snapping. We have to de-escalate the situation. I can't believe you. Do I know where the Goliath is that... Bonobos, I'll get you a rock. Stay there. He's 15, 20 feet away from you right now.

They're all standing a little contingent. I try to pick up like a basketball-sized rock, and I bring it to Barclays. My rock is all you got. I reach behind and I grab a harp. Oh, no. Oh, my. Oh, my.

Oh. Much better idea. Much better idea, Bonobos. That's got a... It's our dynamic. Now, you do not throw that, sir. I aim for center max. Bonobos, is this happening?

Ah? Yeah. You're doing this? Yes, I said. It's happening. What is it? Natural 20. Yes.

No. The wind whistle as it flies through the air. When I hear him release the harpoon, I'm... That's really... To get to the top of the wall. The moment that it goes... I just look at bottom bus and be like, oh yeah, that's gonna hit.

Are you aiming at the Goliath, or are you aiming? I think the Goliath, whoever's through the rocket man. Okay. It does 14 points. Hold on, actually. Hold on. That is 17 points, a piercing damage. Jesus.

Golly. I'm going to say 17 here. Wow, that does a tremendous amount of damage. One moment. I can do math. It matters. This harpoon, it's not attached by a rope or anything. It's essentially a long spear, correct?

It's just got the hook. I mean, I could have thrown one with a rope on it. I'm asking you to confirm for me now whether you did. I feel like it should have a rope. Sounds pretty cool. Oh, no, it's a... Don't we know that has a rope on it? I mean, I have one that has a rope on it.

I wouldn't have thrown on away. I would be the one with the rope that I can get back. Right. You don't want to go down there and fetch a harp. How many... Hard to tell. How many... In the 30 feet radius that you could possibly see

from this vantage point, you can see that there are four or five cobalds, four Goliaths, this main ivory clutch, and that's it. Holy hell, by the most. Now that's what you get! That, this is real bad. This is real bad. This is real bad.

Through the side of the ribs like this, and as you pull, the actual hook start to push and pull through the skin. You don't actually, Oh, yeah, how does that feel? You robs you over? You don't yank and pull the Goliath back. They are sturdy, and he stays where he is, unmoved.

But you hear this terrible ripping sound like cloth as the carpoon pulls free. He growls and screams and the Goliaths go absolutely ballistic. Oh, wait, we have a fight on the head. Remove them, remove them, remove them, remove them. You're in here. You're in here. The soundoff is a joke in an escalate quickly. I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened. Quickly! One of us killed the guy! V-Vimony! One of us killed the guy! You got a chance. I gave you a chance last time. I won't have that mistake again.

He pulls out a horn, this main ivory-clutch membrane. You hear this explosive sound and... Yes. Do I have a chance to interrupt him doing that? Yeah, we're slowing down because we're about to roll for initiative. Oh, baby! As he reaches... his hand up to the horn,

I will reach my hand out to him, and I will say, drop! And I'm going to use command. The spell. And then hapoon that guy, too, Bobbuss. You know, that's... Steal him in like a tuna. Get his ass.

Let's see him under command, and he's making a wisdom saving throw. DC-17. As he lifts this up and you reach out and say drop, he... Let's just give him a chance. He sees you do this, and he pauses and he goes, I'll have none of that!

And he makes a few gestures. I need you to make a Constitution saving throw. What's he doing? As he attempts to counter spell. Can I see him counterspelling? Yeah. I would like to respond with him from counterfeit. If I get to see him, if I get reaction, reaction.

Reaction taken. Reaction reaction reaction. If I see him, like, mobilizing a magical effect at yore near, I would like, I would immediately try. You all start break dancing. Get no effects. No effects are shooting. The sky is a light.

The saving throw, right? I don't know. I just know that I haven't used the 2024 counter spell. I understand that it's worse. How does this work? You attempt to interrupt the creature in the process of casting the spell. The creature makes a con-saving throw. Oh.

A failed save, the spell dissipates with no effect. And the action, bonus action or reaction used to cast it is wasted. Oh, but I keep the thing. the thing. Okay, that's great. If that spell was cast with a spell slot, the slot is expensive. Oh, but if it's an ability, it's not. Oh, yeah.

You just lose your charge. You would keep his, it's very balanced. It's balanced. All right, I'm gonna make it, what's your DC? So it is a con 17. Con 17. I have a 15% chance of succeeding this because he has a plus zero on con.

16. Oh, how, how, how, how to count a spell. Hey, ah, wah, ah, and his magic fails, He loses his protective magic in that moment. Ice will take over his hands as he's forced to drop. He drops the horn to the floor and you see him look up and he goes, remote them. I need everyone to roll for initiative.

They're screaming with my anchor towards his head. The bureaucrat. The adrenaline floods through all of you as suddenly you find yourselves in a scrap, in a fight, in combat. I need everyone to roll for initiative and let me know what you got. 10. Okay.

Eight. Okay, hold on. 22.30. 17. 14. And you were 10 and Tyshen, you were... Is there a... Is that one marked number one, the one that he, like, harpooned to hell?

Is that always got a lot of show? Yeah, that's why I put a little mark on him. Thank you. You're very welcome. You're very welcome. I'm going to sit that motherfucker to hell. Is this a bureaucrat right here? Yeah.

Got it. I am in mid-air leaping. Then Yornear, then this guy, and Barnabose. I don't say I was, oh, and Scrim was there. Yeah, he was right there. He was right there. That's fine. We were shoulder to shoulder.

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like Yornear and I would definitely be like her wig. Yeah. What's behind? What are these things? Those are ogres. Those are ogres are fucking huge.

Oh, he wasn't here for that episode. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was when you've never piloted Tyshen better. These cobalds look like clap traps from Donkey Kong country. That's very fine. Thank you.

I did them in two minutes. Top of the round. The cobalds, the frost hammers have surprisingly, are surprisingly on the ball, and they're all going to rush the barricade and race forward and up. I see that you are still mid-sprint, however, Barner Boats, I'm going to let you have it. Why don't you go ahead and take your turn

at the top of the round? Because I was jumping on. Oh, that's fair. That's fair, because then it also put me in the middle of all of them. It's exactly what I do. And I'm screaming, seawater drenches me. There's a flash in my side as my shell shimmers. As I grow this kind of kite-inish shell of barnacles

and this exoskeleton almost. And I am just, he's trying to sound the alarm. I'm here to kill. I've experienced a lot. You would love to kill. And I'm recklessly attacking. And I would love to kill. And I would love to kill.

That is going to be a 27 to hit. That hits. You think? And then another 27 to hit. That also hits. Actually, that one doesn't hit for some reason. I need to see how much at level 10. Mega shield.

What does my rage add? What does my rage add to damage? Does anyone know? Oh, I don't. I don't. I don't. Plus three. It's plus three. I've never played a Barbarian. Plus, I'll just, I'll just be plus four. No.

I mean, your room was plus two, I think, at level six. So you're probably, you are definitely higher than that if it goes up and be under. Should I tell you under your... Oh, here you go. Sorry, click on Rage, you should tell you. Like if you expand the rules of Rage, you should tell you... Oh. Wait. The Barbarian's feature table. Are you kidding me? Well, I'm gonna... Just go to action. Yeah, I'm gonna presume it. How hard is this?

I'm gonna present with three. I'm just gonna roll twice on it, because I'm just, I'm smacking. I'm not going to other targets. I'm not strategically thinking about this. Barbarian feature table. 17 plus... Where are we? Yeah, you're plus three.

Are we nine? 10. Yeah, we're plus three. So 17 for the first attack, and then... 17 damage? Yeah. It doesn't go to four until level 16. And then 13 points of damage from the second attack. Of both.

Four is the max. Wow. And... Wow. It needs to make a... Oh, he needs to make a constitution saving throw. Okay. DC 13.

The ivory clutch... Makes... He fails. He's not prone. Oh, wait. What was the same thing? DC 13 con twice. He's making it twice.

If he needs to fall prone with each attack. He succeeds the second one, but he already fell prone on the first one. Oh, yeah, so it's a matter. He's just prone. I was already advantaged anyway. So I'm not... I knock it, I jump into him, smash him down, and he falls, just, ugh.

And it's like that meme of where it's the guy in the ground, I look you up. Yeah. And then I smash down on him. He, uh, he takes it. You smash into his arm and you, uh, hear him yell out in pain. He falls to the ground clutching it,

but he's grimacing. He's not screaming in fear. Okay. This certainly won't have, uh, the Colmoles range. Forward. his face. Move your headset out of the way.

Oh, sorry. My Nintendo Switch color. Yeah, that would kind of like that. And this guy is going to grab his friend if he can drag him out without it triggering him. Is that... That is correct. If he's not using his movement, then correct.

Right, right. He's going to drag his friend in this direction. Oh, what a load of horseshit. And pull him free to attempt to get him away. In this man. And the other three are going to attack. The first one jumps up onto the barricade and makes an attack against... They're all over Tishan.

Holy shit. Good luck. Seeing what you did with the magic, they know your magic users. Good luck. Barnabuz. That's going to be a 24 to hit. Barely misses. You know what?

Oh, is this still in the round where we counter spells and other counter spells? Yeah, okay, all right. All out. Otherwise, I would have used or thought about using shields for. Yeah, no reactions. All out. All out. Okay, you take 10 slashing damage as this curved blade spear

swings down and slashes into you. That's the one that jumped right up onto the barricade right next to you. The other one is going to poke at you from below and is going to get a natural 20. My reaction is send my ghost at them. Dealing 23 damage as he stabs up. You don't see it coming, but you look down

as you feel a sharp pain, and the blade has stabbed through your shin and out the back of your calf and then slides back out in a disgusting manner. That's a critical wound. You lose your leg. They're not fucking a ragged board. How much dangerous? That's a racist.

Super racist. I'm gonna just like I'm a gold dragon board? How much damage did I take from that? I didn't take the damage yet from that one. What was it? 23. 23? Yeah, he crit.

Oh, I'm about to do this. And I rolled extremely well. It was 2D6 damage, but I- Let me just take much. They have the Warhammer special rules. The hatred, gold dragon. That's right, the other one's gonna attack number four Oger, and he's going to slice in.

Not number four, ogre. He hits, and number four, ogre is going to take an amount of damage. That happens. Number four Oger tired. And number four Oger is not tired. Number four, ogre is enraged. Yes.

We're gonna call- Oh, the ogres on our side? Yeah, oh, hell. They're on our side. We're gonna call number four, Foro to honor moral combat. And that is the conclusion of their turn. You're near, you're up. Oh, gosh.

Seeing this happen, I am going to turn and see them all of a sudden. Just like, yes. You see a Caesar. Yeah, he's getting Caesared. I'm gonna turn and look and take my staff and I'll reach out. And from this center point between Tyshen

and these cobalds, I will use a magic action to cast. What did you just said? I said magic action. You sure about that? And I'm gonna expend the use of my wild shape to use Lans Aid. And so from this point, you will see this like, almost like the horror of the tundra

start to spread and grow all throughout as cold, like a permafrost shoots all over it. As Tyshen, weird, even though it's cold, for you it's almost exhilarating, where you get this sort of like, a nice cold air in your air. Your breath turns icy as I'm gonna choose you to heal you, 3D6.

Oh, wow. What? This is the sensation of, Newlander, folks. 14. Holy shit. Your calf. My cat feels so.

But the couple of, everyone else here, all the bad guys, I can choose who damages. They will not feel that same rejuvenating, like a feeling of cold. They will feel the necrotic, rotting, frostbite version of cold as their limbs start to turn black. and freeze up. Him to make a Constitution saving throw, DC17.

They fail. They all take... What the fuck? 14 points of necrotic damage. That's all the Colboulds plus this... Necotic damage. Oh. I was about to be like, it doesn't seem to be as effective as you thought.

No, necratic damage. All four plus the... That fucked me up real bad. That fucked me up real bad. First time I've ever. use that and I'm seeing all of these ogres or Goliaths I'm gonna like that scream and just like well man I wish I could do math in my head I'll tell you just have a calculator I'm gonna kind of like walk down is there room where are these

guys exactly is there a space here I feel like they'll help you yeah yeah I'm gonna like take a step back down the barricade that's my turn nice oh what are you gonna do What are you, stab me? Incredible. I didn't make sure that I... They're advantage against me. I don't know if you knew this. I think I lost my...

They have a special feature Ray. That's right. That's right. Makes me able to teleport to my, to my hex target. I don't think it's a thing. Oh, it's not here. Maybe no.

Oh, that wasn't an invocation. Yeah, I don't think it is anymore. Because I would have taken it again, I think. You could take a look at it. I did. I did. I don't think it's there. Unless there were just better ones and I swapped it out, but I'm not going to worry about that.

It's always very possible. He is going to yell out, reinforcements. We need reinforcements. Oh no. And he is going to unfurl his wings and fly. Oh, get the feet in the air. You are not allowed. No, he's not getting away.

He's 20 feet in the air. He's clutching his horn still. And this time, he twists it. It'll be a few arcane words before it blows forward. Come the fuck on. I need. I tried to warn around.

If I had rolled better, I would have helped you. I'm gonna witch bowl his ass. I'm gonna send him to help. But it's too late. I just wanted to fucking kill him before he got. A 60-foot cone jumps out and unleashes a massive blast of ice and cold. To be sure. Enhancing the blizzard as a, yes?

He would have technically dropped the horn here. was dragged away. So who would have to move over here to back him. I gave him the free object and arrest. No, but he would have to walk back to it, wouldn't me? And get a melee Ranger on a car. It's fun. You notice that a second leather strap from his belt carries the...

I'm going to wish pole this guy. I'm going to send him to hell. In front of my EDC. I'm going to send him down. I need everyone to make a Constitution saving throw. Does anybody have a four barn of those? I got a huge fucking knife. Does anybody need a knife?

I got a knife. Oh, I'm not in that. No, you're not in. You're not in. It's called the brutal blade. I have a huge fucking knife. Does anybody need a knife? 23.

Oh, wait. Are we all rolling? What are you rolling? Yes. You're all rolling. Who? Me too? Yep.

Oh. This is probably a cone of coal. Almost. It could be cold to coal. It could be cold to coal. It's 14. I don't think I have Counter spell.

Yeah. 24. Well, I think my reaction is so long, right? Your reaction is still gone, unfortunately. I fail. Scrim fails. I got 24. I don't fail.

Okay. I feel. I feel. It's half as much on a successful one. But thank goodness, it's before I cat, which bolt, so we're good. 36 cold damage for those who fail and half as much if you succeed it. You resist it, don't forget. Yeah, I resist this to cold, though.

I take half of that. Oh shit, I used to have resisted. So we could have a cold. What happened? So nine? So 36 divided by two is 18, and then nine. Barnabas and I are not cold, well, he is always cold, I used to be cold. You're no longer cold resistance.

That cold resistance came from your bond with the Princess of Wrath. So we don't have that. Oh, no. It was from the, it was from the, from the, uh, from I fucking died. It was from the, when I fucking died.

We know, we got cleansed. You didn't have cold resistance from the, um, herald of fear, no. I could have sworn a boy did. It was from the curse. It was from the, it was from the naming ritual, uh, woolly rhino, a bond. No, no, no, no.

Well, I mean, I mean, I thought, so we had, we had literally the heart of the first, The first herald of fear that I thought gave us cold resistance. Then we accepted like the blessing of a polar bear that I thought gave us cold. Neither of those things. I am, I am, where I thought my cold resistance came from was from when I fucking died.

I believe that was the kids. But I thought that was also cleansed. The polar bear resistance, the polar bear gifted you a within 24 hours use of single use of guidance for not killing its cubs. The herald of fear, a heart that you have, gave you the ability to dispel fear. Using it as an inspirational boom.

It's a free roll against fear. A free roll against fear. We had the Frost resistance from the Princess of Raps like which song, which we lost. We lost that. When you went through the naming ritual as you're the lieutenants of the chieftain, all of you.

So are not cold resistant. I realize I still am. From, doesn't matter. From being Landruid at level nine, I got resistance to finally. That makes so much fucking I know, right? Finally.

This is the cold damage. My bad, my bad, Darry. You're good. We're trying to remember, we're not arguing. No, no, no, no, no. It's not arguing. Not arguing. I thought I remember that.

He does this with his action, and with his bonus action, because I don't want this guy to fucking die. Yeah, he's got all, I. Fuck you. These new things are fucking excellent. Fuck you, Derek. He sends an additional 30 feet into the air. you do that for me? No, I'm gonna fucking kill him. Fuck you guys. I'm gonna fucking kill him.

That's the conclusion of the, you hear this loud horn blast out. And you know that he is alerted, whoever may be nearby. That's horseshit. Barnabose, you are, I tried two, but I rolled low. Barnabose, you're up and scrimmed your under. Shit, I know what I'm doing. He's 30 feet in the air. I mean, you can get him, get him, but. He's however many blocks he is, up in the air. I'm going to cook his ass. That's 25 feet. Each one, each block is 10 feet tall. Oh, 10 feet. He's six, he's 50 feet in the air. He's 50 feet in the air. Barely in any inconvenience. There's no way I can get to him. Barely in any of

convenience. I have a net on me. I have a net on. What's the range of net? 15 feet. So I can't eat. What's the range of javelin? I think it might be 60 at disadvantage. Oh, I need to roll for the ogres. I think natural party for the ogres. I need me more than 30 is a disadvantage. No, you don't have unlimited range. No, no, it's 1.20 is the max range. Oh. But I'm not gonna bother.

You should go do your thing. To your thing. I'm gonna look at the Goliath and say, You should have walked away when you had a chance. I already threatened to kill you once. I am the bigger fish. As I run just at them recklessly attacking, screaming as, uh, I-

You're going down. You killed our chieftain. I am... What? That's funny as fuck. Yeah, that's going to master your ass. Oh, fuck. Wow, my heckling curse on 30 feet.

16 to hit the, um, yeah, that hit. 16 hit, recklessly attacking. That's, oh wow, another 10. 17 points of bludgeoning damage. Oh, the one they already injured. Number one, yep. Yep. Yep. And he needs to make a saving throw,

a con saving, oh, hold on, yep, hold on, hold on. Cons saving throw? 22. Okay, he succeeds. I am going to swing in, I'm gonna forego my advantage to try to do a brutal strike against him. Oh. What did you just say? How could you?

Did you see brutal strike? Uh, that's a lot. It's a 23. That hits. Seven and a half. Featured and trades, I gotta see the brutal strike does. What's two diagonals? Fifteen feet? Yeah, yes. Oh, is it? It's seven and a half. The idea of this plus one D10.

Oh, two diagonals is seven and a half. No, two, one diagonal. Not each diagonal. Each diagonal is seven and a half. So two is 15 feet. So you can move four diagonally with 30 feet. Yeah. So five, seven, fifteen, twenty, two.

20 feet. So 20 squared plus 19 plus 7 is 26 points of bludgeon damage. 26 points of bloodsion damage because I forego the advantage and if I hit I add 1D10 damage and I can do one of two things. Okay. I am going to knock him away from me 15 feet into number two. Okay. I don't know how that works in 2020. You know what? I'm just going to do this and a quick dexterity saving throw, and he failed. So I'm gonna give number two a little bludgeoning damage just for knocking into him. He doesn't fly through.

Like sort of hitting a wall, he smashes into the Goliath back and falls back. And he needs to make another con saving throw DC-13. This time he gets a natural one, so he falls prone. Now he's prone at my feet. That is my turn. He landed, which one did he smash? A one.

So he's, oh, they're smashed into each other. So he bounced off of them, presumably, and then stumbled forward and fell down. I did damage the one he back. You did damage the head. Uh-oh. What number did he? Oh, too, I'm sorry.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's my turn. Great turn. I love barbarians, folks. Okay, how rough does the bureaucrat look? He looks bloody. Say less, fam. I move five feet away, which puts the hypoteness

of the triangle to be 20 feet. That squared is 400. 550 squared is 2,500. That is 2,900. 100 feet, the square root of that is 53.85 and which bolt has a range of 60 feet. I'm giving a few. So I love that. What that.

I did that math, everybody. I bought these folks. I bought these. I think it's bad. I would like to twist this so I don't miss a level five spell. Absolutely. How many may I use? All five.

All five. All five. I'm casting which bolt at a fifth level. I absolutely crushed it. I got a 19, which is a shame. Because if I had hexed him, it would have been a crit. But he's out of range. I can't hax him. So that's gonna be 6012.

You got a 19? Assuming a 28 hits. No, he rolled a 19. I rolled a 19 plus 9 plus 5 plus 14. I thought you got a 19. If you got a 19, I was gonna be like, see you. He's rolled to hit. It says plus 9 on which ball.

Oh, wow. So 23 to hit. 33 hits. Yeah. 21. 21 plus 6 is 27. Oh, duh. 30 points of damage.

You all watch. I believe it to power. You all, I'm thinking more the... I'm not taking Tyshems move. I'm not taking Tyshems move. No. All right, all right. The 30 damage of lightning is to be.

This, it actually looks a lot like my normal Eldridge Blanche which is this kind of dark, smoky, kind of sulfurous, like, hellish blast, but it's a lot more crackling and kind of shocking to witness. It's kind of more startled. It surprises even you, the power that it is slowly surging through you. These lightning bolts remind you of the impossible red, undulating clouds of the space that you found yourself when you were banished

by the ogres for a brief time, and you saw the lightning in that impossible diagonal place that you were banished to for that short period of time. The lightning strikes and you hear another scream from the flying cobalt. I'm gonna make a constitution saving check to see if he falls. He manages to hold on.

And he is barely hanging on to life. Bullshit! You use your bonus actor to kill. It's as easier my subsequent turns. So I can't do it this turn. Do you have anything else you wanna do on your turn? No, I mean I wanna kill him, but I can't. That's my turn.

Tijan, you're up? Yeah, I can't. I rolled like shit. So we tell me what this means. You were very close. When you cast a spell for the casting time of an action, you spend two shorts your points and change the casting time of a bonus actor for this cast.

Yeah. Simple. You can't modify a spell in this way if you've already cast a level one plus spell on the current turn. It doesn't. You can still can't cast two spells in a turn. So in the rules of D&D, you can only cast one spell per turn. You can't one spell or one cantrip. One cantrip, but you can't do like, oh. You can't spend-

Your bonus action and a cantrip. Yeah. Bonus action spell, but you can't override that. So the idea, for example, is let's say you wanted to use your full action to disengage or hide. You could take a spell and use it as quicken it to a bonus action and still have your action to do something else.

Or you could still can't do a action and do damage, fireball. If he gets any farther away though, I'm not gonna be able to use any more. So he's 50 feet in the air. Yeah. Can't get out of my range. Yeah, there's no way. I mean, I have to switch out, just blast 120.

But I just wanna, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, you, it's a level five spell slot on this shit. That's right. I will fire out from my, from my palms. I will engulf the entire front of this wall and flame and gas wall and fire. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Can you draw on the front of it because that's just gonna ignite? I just need a color for, that's not brown. Here's orange. Use this for the fire. Just ignite the entire front of this facade. Oh, man. I look cool as hell right now. Do the actual, do the actual paper itself for me. The paper? Yeah.

Drop on. No, no, he can put it in front of the. He's doing the line in front. Okay, I thought you were burning the barricade. No, in front of the barricade itself. It's not catching fire. You're doing, you're creating a moat of fire. It's like made of rock, right? Well, it's rock and furniture. It might catch a fire. Yeah, it's literally the barricade. It's lots of chairs.

Yeah, Mani is running and grabbing a flag right now. I got it. Yeah, so my thought is the wall of fire will rise up in front of the barricade, like basically cooking them, and then it'll also blast heat at them. I can take it. You can take it.

Well, actually... I can take it. You don't have to. Oh. I didn't know you're cool like that. Do you want me to help? You got it. You got it. Yeah, you can put this out.

So he was here? Um, was he here? There was he, he was here. One was like right in front of me. Yeah, and then those two. This was the guy that dragged him away. So yeah, he was there. Okay.

Because he was dragging this way down the south. Okay, okay. Um, so I'll erupt this wall of flame, and as I do, obviously the hot side is pointed out towards all of the enemies. I think I can... Um, so it would be a saving throw. I'm gonna expend. One sorcery point to allow Barnabot to automatically succeed the saviors.

It's like sculpt smells. Oh, that's nice. Frost needs that. Holy shit. And so I'll go down one, confirm, and I'm just cash in the fourth level, but it's a Dex 17. When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a Dex saving throw, taking 5 to eat fire damage on failed saver, half as much damage. on a successful one, and the fire's going out this way, and it's emanates 10 feet from the front of it.

So it'll hit everybody here and these two. Hell yeah. You saw it roll. Okay. Oh, no, sorry, you just succeed automatically, so you'll take it. It hits all of the... Oh, shit, sorry. I'm gonna roll, I'm gonna roll for the Colbolts.

Okay. Well, what's the DC? 17. 17. Pretty high. Of what? Oh, Dex, Dex. Oh, Dex.

Oh, Dax. Oh, natural 19. And so they'll take some damage, I imagine, still, regardless. Let's take hack. They're gonna get fried. Fried coal. I'm gonna shill-lag all of them. Yeah.

Ooh, that's not bad. I don't know it. 434, don't forget that. 4-3-4. What I'll say, even though I'm taking a little bit of damage, I am like aura-farming Sephiroth mode. Yeah. No, Nibbleheim is a flame.

Yeah, exactly. I turn and I walk. I got the flake. slate the fire behind me as I covered in the blood of this colliat that I'm smashing. Okay, I'm gonna spend one anymore, I'm gonna spend one more sorcery point and re-roll the threes. So I'm gonna re-roll two dice. Nice. So it's 4-4-6 currently. And I got a six and a two.

22 total. 22 total. So it's 22. Oh, hang on. I think I also deal additional. Anytime it's a fire spell, I think I deal an additional with these six. Plus, 22 is the total. Absolutely poor time right now. You guys can just, you can resolve 22.

Oh, well, I succeeded. I just need to know if they take half damage. They take half damage. Okay, okay. So 22, 11, that gets me here. Sorry, it's 27. I just add a flat 5. So it's 27, they take half damage.

I was adding 22, so I need to add 5, so now I'm here. but you take 40. Gotta keep them honest. Gotta get the numbers right. The numbers. The front to Golias take damage, correct?

Yes. These two. What is the nature of the saving throw? No, what are the Gilles? Deck save. It's a DC-17 deck save. Thank you. They fail as well, so they'll take the full amount of 27 damage.

The COBOLs passed. Yes. So the answer to the Goliath failed. Yeah. Let me do some quick math here. Oh, they failed. That's great. Number one, burns to death with 27 damage.

Gadim, he's a charred, oops. And he turns into a charred corpse, and the one directly in front of Barnabas there is what number? Three. I don't even care. These cobalds are hearted. I mean, they're like,

he ignites, and you see him tapping the flames to put it out, but he is burned, but unblooded. Undead, not dead is what I meant to say. And that is the conclusion of your turn. That is nice. Unless you want some movement. Okay, the Uyghurs. I'm pretty surrounded, so.

I take 13 points in the game. The Ogre closes to your near. On the Lakey side, it's going to jump across and over the flames to try to jump down to where. He'll take it. Wait, sorry, what's happening? He doesn't want to jump over the flames, does he? Well, you can't want to jump over the flames? He's not going to jump over the flames.

He's not going to get an athletic set. He's just going to say, drive. You know what? He's gonna pick up an object and he's gonna toss it. He actually hits... I mean, does he also want a waterfall? Because if he jumps to the phone, then... I mean, he's...

And if he stumbles and falls off the ocean... He doesn't know what that is. He grabs a flaming claw that he jumps down. Oh my god. Uh, he's gonna get a natural 20. Let's fucking go! Oh! And he's going to do...

That's right, lad! What's his speed? He'll also... Forty feet. He'll take 5D8 just from moving. through it. Yeah. He'll take 5D8. Well, he's got a...

I think he just takes it. He burns alive. He dies before he hits this. Thank God. He actually kills them all because he comes a flaming projectile. What number is this? He becomes a flaming meteor and dies. Number five?

He also kills Barnabos because he lands on Borobos. It's nothing of fire. Oh, oh. It's like the fucking fireball? No. It's terrible. Deal the damage while I roll for this sandwich over here. So I don't think it's a deck save.

I think he just takes it just says they take 5D when they move through it or if they start their turn, sorry, they end their turn within 10 feet in front. Yeah, you're right. They just take it. Yeah. So. Brutal. Oh, no.

Full max. 12, that's 12. I'll do. Oh, hot. Fire indeed hot. Fire, man. Oh, I thought that was a one. 12.

Oh, 24. Oh, 12. Oh, 12. 24. 24. Outrageous. He is enough to get out of the heat. He would not stand in the heat of the moment. Yeah, no.

He steps, he'd have to move there, yeah. He puts himself out, but he grabs a flaming timber out of the wall, and he slams it into the Goliath, doing tremendous amount of damage. He would be. What a fucking nightmare. Yeah. And he took 24 points of damage, he said. Yeah.

Jesus. God, that's funny as fuck. Good gravy. I need to do that math. real quick in my head. I'm definitely not using a calculator at this time. You can all be impressed with how quickly I can do my math. Well done there.

Thank you. I have that, thank you. Thank you. And the two ogres next to Scrim are going to attack the one that's adjacent to Scrim. Oh, miss. And oh, that might hit. Let's see.

Come on, guys, get your head out of your ass. No, scrim says it. No, they both miss. They both miss. Come on, get your head on your asses. I have Mani, too. Mani, Mani is the one.

Mani, he's Shrek. Yeah, he's Shrek. Mani, you big dumb idiot. The one to the right. Just hit him. Just hit him. Mani taught. Fire.

They're all frankensteiny now. Or hammer. They're fire. I'm screaming as these bolts are cracking the energy and leaving my hand. I'm like, hit them. Hit them. Fire, bad.

All right. What's the number of the one adjacent to the one next to Tai Chen on Andy's side. It's one in three and then two is right in front of Tai Chen. Three is in the corner. Three is in the corner. One is close to the ogres. One and three, two.

This ogre, who can he hit? He can't, well, I mean, he goes to the four ways. He could then start clobbering these ads. He's saying it's clobber in time. No, no, no. If Tycheon's here, he can hit that. He can hit number two. Number two?

One. Okay, he already did that amount of damage. 18 to two here. Okay, is that better there? Yes. Thank you. Good grief. If they get reinforcements,

you just push them out. Yeah. Morskits today was sweet. We sacked past the ogres. All the things have you were to push the ogres over. How many pounds? Like, I think of the ogrets a ton. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds.

You hear reinforcements at the top of the round. You hear bullshit. And through the wind and blustering snow that's swirling all around. you in this massive, don't forget there's like a foot of snow on top of the barricade, on top of the street. This is swirling in all directions. You see a massive form emerge from the street

as a woolly rhino barrels forward and towards the wall. Two cobalds riding on its back, it sprits forward and crashes. Oh, I'm going into the fire. I'm going right in. You're going, I'm gonna fall here and busting through here. Busting directions. They'll all take five to eight.

Everyone, yeah, they're all gonna take five to eight. Which way do I go flying? Which way do we go flying? We're gonna roll a random dodge. This is amazing. I definitely planned on this when I jokingly threw a rock. Um, I'm North, so I am. So who you're rolling for first?

Right, so what are we doing here? We need to decide where like all of us fall. We're gonna do a scatter die. He's busted through the fucking, I might fall right into the goddamn fire. Oh my God. You're gonna do a scatter die and you're gonna move 15 feet in that direction.

Uh, scrim. So I am- Oh my God. I am one. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I'm one. You just telling which way I go. Just roll a D-8. Oh, you want me to roll it. I thought you were gonna.

You were rolling the D-8. Six. One, two, three, four, five, six. You're going, uh, ten feet? I'm going into the flinchy. I like landing on the cobales. Put the other cobalts in a 50 feet in the record. I'm using a sorcery point to rerow all five dice for that day.

because I rolled like choosing ones. I'm rolling for the two. Oh, that's pretty good. Mani spills out in this direction. So we're at 13. Oh my god, that's so funny. Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Okay.

Yeah. So you're rolling first for these guys. 25. These guys all take 25 fired. Oh, my God. But am I also taking the same amount? You would, I'd roll differently for you. Okay. Did you just go through the wall?

Technically, I would go in after they go in. Yeah, so they take 25. Roll as low as you possibly can. Don't roll back. That's pretty good. No, no, there's two six two six two, that's okay. Fourteen, six. That's only two eights out of three possible dice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're not gonna roll. It's an eight here. Okay, not bad. That looks bad from here. 16, that was 16 or 18 and then it was 16, 22, 24. Okay. So, yikes. Yeah, one plus. I had to roll for concentration. Hold on, Paul, I got to roll for concentration.

So much. They also take how much? They took, wait, these guys took 25, fired him, I'm 25. I'm good. I'm gonna believe you, I'm gonna write it down here. I maintain concentration somehow. It was, it was definitely more than Scrimmages took in, Screamtuk 24. And I think there was just one more.

You said 28 for these guys. Oh, 28? I thought he said 28 for these guys. I don't remember, no. And 24 for me. Was it? I don't know. Maybe I'm misremembering.

I thought you said 28. I could be wrong. I think it's a 25. Either way. I don't. Up to you, Derek. Take how much damage you want to take. I just took, I just applied 25 to the rhino and the two cobalds running back.

Is 28 going to kill the cobalts because then it's 28? Okay. All right, this is 25. Does the shaggy rider a little fire? It absolutely does. It is now caught in plane. And all of a sudden, bent them. The garbage!

All direction, and you can hear the sounds of screaming coming in all, beyond the blizzards. You can't tell who's, who's, what's happening. There's shrapnel, burning, burning furniture and rocks spread in all direction as this rhino blindly rages through the wall of fire and through the barricade bursting into the street. And it's still the cobalt's churns.

They are going to stand up and these two are immediately going to get onto their feet and race towards scrim. attempting to stab him with their swords. Good luck they got in your region of the fucking fired. They don't pass through, but if they enter, I mean, I think it was the first time they answered. Guys, I might be in trouble here. I got a five and a three.

Okay, I'm not, they miss. Ah! There's, they've stopped dropped and rolled. Okay. And they miss. The one that's closest to which he's hand here on the far side. Yeah, four.

No, that was the one who was dragging him away before he, I don't think he's dead. No, that's still alive. No, no. Nobody's dead. He's gonna race towards . This horse shit, man. Like through the fire?

He's beneath the- There we go, there we go. That's fine, that's fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, Oh, natural 20. So, I don't, so real quick, this, the text here says that, Creeper takes the same damage, so 5D8, when it enters the wall for the first time, on a turn, or ends its turn there.

Yeah. So I don't, but the wall has an influence of 10 feet in front of it. Oh. So I don't know if that's like, if it wants to be influenced or it's got to walk into the influence, You've to walk into the actual fire as a trigger or if they end their turn within the tech. So there's this flashing damage to you,

Scrim, as they are all. Suddenly you see three poles are stabbing at you very aggressively as though to kill. Tyshen, you turn and even though he has been knocked on his back, he stands up and immediately comes at you with. I have lost a lot of health. 18 to hit. 18 misses.

I'm sorry. I rolled a 15. plus five to hit, 20. 20 minutes. Okay. That's going to be 10 slashing damage to you. Oh, I have to move for concentration. Swings forward with his miniature pull arm

and slashes against the side of your arm doing a significant amount of damage and ruining your fine robes, let's be honest. That's going to be the conclusion of their term. Yornear, you're up. A lot's happened. Oh, dude. No, you're literally trolly with the pizza.

You walk in the flaming room. You can literally throw with the beats us. Oh, my God. There's like a cobalt running around on fire. There's like a Goliad like holding in its intestines. There's something like shell-sog. There's something that doesn't draw us. You know, a rhino burning to death screaming.

I need to roll right or all. I need to make yourself paint. Hold on. I need to start drawing. I have to draw. I have to draw this. Um, oh God, I don't know what to do. What are these two guys doing? They're gulets of flame.

They look like they're... Oh, I should have taken their turn. They stab down at Mani. That hits. Who? That hits. Shrek. No, who is...

I didn't realize. The two cobales riding the flaming woolly mammoth. Are the cobales on fire? They stab into... They probably didn't like it. You know what? They'll take some fire damage on their turn, but they actually do a significant amount of damage to Mani.

As you see him yell out... No! Mani dies. That would be such a... a twist that literally no one would have been ready for. You could have bet a million things. And a single person would be like, you know what? Maybe he's got headpoints just like everybody else.

Is that right? Yeah, yeah. Fuck him. How dare you desecrate the spirit of the land. I'm going to reach out and my eye will flash blue. And for a second, you will see the same eye on the woolly rhino, flash blue as well. Oh, my God. As I've been waiting for this moment for all my life.

Help me, out! Help! Help! I cast Dominate Beast. It needs to make a wisdom-saving probe. I used to us against it. What's the DC? The DC is 17.

Dread for the DM. I get eight. I'm gonna use one of my twists of dread. Okay. I want it earned. This is a wonderful moment. Just a minute. Where in the fuck two is, there is.

All right, I need to get a 16 or higher. Oh boy. Oh, that went into a little box here. Hold on. This is bizarre. I got a 12s. Oh, it failed. Yes, the woolly rhino fails. Oh, you now, I guess, dominate a burning woolly rhino.

I do. So I have a telepathic link with the group. Well, we all learn from a Vermeer six skids, that's a terrible idea. You immediately get telepathic screams of horror and rage. You feel the agony. You're on fire. Take your revenge. Take your revenge. Trample!

And so I will issue its command to trample the cobalds. Effectively, I don't know what its staploc is, but I would understand its staploc. I'm going to send you a staploc right now, and you can now pilot him. My God. On its turn. So anytime it takes damage, it makes another save.

Okay. Just for full transparency. Um, that's perfect timing because his turn is now gonna be right here. Okay. He's gonna be called Gary. Yeah, Gary is now the Willie Rhino. And classic. Good, Gary.

Shorts, folks. And, uh... I mean, if there are near six skins taught me anything. There you go. You now put that lock. You aren't here's gonna suffer horrific mentally. How long does that last? Is the concentration? Concentration in it lasts a minute.

Okay. Uh, and do I do have any bonus actions? I don't know what I can do. Um, Boots action. Oh, did the cobalts take their turn by the way? Yeah, they fucking stop my ass. Because they all take damage.

Oh, you also take damage from the wall. That might kill me. I can, I can force you to survive it. Or I can push you could if you want it. I mean, you could. Don't. Here's what I'll tell you. I have to roll it anyway.

I don't think it's wise you just been a sorcery point trying to save me. Yeah. Oh, really? I don't think so. I look fucked up. I'm fucked up right now. Like, you saving me.

might not save me, is what I'm trying to say without, you know, being a meta. Yeah, yeah, I understand. I will pass my turn. But this is important because if it does kill me, I have something to do. No, but it's only on the end of their turn. So you're not taking this damage.

Oh, yeah, it's just there's, you can get out of it, you won't take it. Okay, I haven't gone here. Yes, no, you can go. I'm safe, correct, I'm safe, I'm safe. So have the Goliaths gone? No, no. The Goliaths are here.

Okay. This is the, um, I've recovered. clutch, this is the Frosthammers, and this is Gary. Yeah. Wait, who's the ivory clutch? The igree clutch is the Mace. The MAKLEZ. The actual. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay. So these- I'm trying to kill his mother-in. These three guys next to Scrims take 16. Three, two, and four. The problem is, man, let me get obliterated by fucking opportunity attacks. Each one takes 16. Unless they'll die here. Two, three, and four. Unless

they decide to back up 10 feet or five feet. I mean, they would have avoided the fire damage. Well, it's a scrim could opportunity if you want to. It wants to. Well, they used my reaction. Hold on their turn. On their turn, they stood up and they walked towards. Oh, if they stood up. They're probably out of movement.

I don't know. It's up to you. I think it's it burn to death. I'm gonna say that they're just filled with rage. They attack scrim. Two of them miss and they take the 16 points of damage. All three of them. Number two burns to death.

Good. Get them out there. And the others are hanging on decently. That's the conclusion of of Yornear's turn and now it's, we're gonna call him Captain McGillicuddy. He is flying 50 feet in the air. His robes are flapping unflapably.

He is screaming, order, I demand order, you stop killing. And he points down at Barnabos in his rage. And you see an ember fly out of his finger as a massive explosion ignites behind Barnabos catching the number five ogre. Over. Fy-O-Fo. Fy-O. And I'm casting fireball right there.

You guys need to make a dexterity. Is it going to kill the Goliaths too? No, no, no, he's going to catch. You know how we have. Behind him. Yeah. Okay. I'm advantaged on dexterity.

Save him to us. What are you going to hit, me? DC 14 dexterity saving throw, Yornear and Barnabose. Yeah, he's got. He's not. I crush it. Well, I don't crush, I get a 19. Oh, I pass.

Let's go, baby. Okay. So you are going to take. You probably also hit this number five. Oh, you said that. Yeah. Good old five-o. Five-O is going to take, yep,

he's gonna take the full amount. I need you to, Yornear, you take 15 points of fire damage. That's half? Yep, Barnabose, you take the full third. 30 points of fire damage and that, oh, you succeeded? 15 then to you. Then only Fibbo is going to take the full 30 and he, he looks hurt.

He looks like he's in trouble. That's, and he's going to use this opportunity to fly an additional. Don't you fucking say it. He got over a blast. What was he gonna do about it? I know, but I just was my- Yeah, okay. He breaks, he breaks distance on which bolts.

It's, I lose concentration. What my character would do, I'm sorry to tell you. I know. I understand. I'll just kill you in your sleep. That's fine. That's fine. If anyone was going to do it, I'd want it to be you.

Barnabose, you're up. How rough does scrim lock? Oh, fucked up. I'm on fire. Like, shit's not good. I'll look at 5-0. His first name is Hawaii. Dude, I don't even know if you'd have the wherewithal.

You're like in a fucking rage, man. You're beating the shit on your. alliance that's a good that's a good question well the question is you also the warrior's madness or do you have the you have the battle awareness I have battle awareness I think he's a beastbara you've been here to fight you got a you're killing giant monsters with the whole crew you think we're all gonna fight well five oh fight well Hawaii mr. that's right mr. Hawaii I'm gonna take an opportunity to number three he's advantaged or no he's not because the beginning of my

turn oh he misses I have 40 vote dang it Their Aces are 17, but their hit points are, they're looking very rough. They're by, they're bloodied. Just fucking... I'm going to, the one that closes the scrimm, is 13. I am just recklessly attacking. I am not doing a brutal strike. I'm just trying to smash them.

Thank God, that one will hit number three. That'll be... 17 points of bloody DMT on three. Kills them. I'm gonna swing again. That's gonna hit. Um, 14, uh, 14 points again. On number four.

Uh, that kills him. Pooch. Nice. Oh, you are right, Mr. Stabascoch! Ah! Oh, you know, come on out, it's not that bad. It's just a little bit of a hot day. I'm really flaming.

My head was a fire. Like, my skin is bubbling, like, Like, oh, she wants a war, she has a war. As I, uh, and I'll look to, uh, to fight well, five, oh, die well, five, oh, and that's my turn. Oh, I'm gonna back away. Uh, I'm exactly, I'm 10 feet away. I'm exactly as far as I need to be. Um, scrim.

Um, I see Barnabas there and I, like, in my blaming state, I'm, like, crawling and pulling and pulling myself through the snow to get away. Where you are? at the start of your turn? Do you take fire? It's at the end of my turn, I believe. That's very good. So I'm gonna crawl for flavor.

I'm still on my feet. But I'm like, I'm like, I'm like scrambling to get away. Off the right of the rubble. Pull me away. Yeah. And I roll onto my back and I point the brutal blade at this flying bureaucrat and I say,

die! And I'm gonna fire off two Eldridge blasts at this thing. Okay. Oh my. Does a 16 hit? He looks down and sees that he's about to be hit by an elder's blast and uses his reaction to cast shield. Oh, my God. He now has an AC of 20. What?

That's enough. What a little? What a little bitch. He blocks them both, and I have nothing else I can do. You rolled for one, not the other, right? I rolled for both. Did they both get 16? They both miss.

Oh, well. That's how the shield crumbles on one. Yeah, that's my whole turn. Unfortunate. Tyshan, you're up. I also somehow lost shield on my spell list. I used to have it, and I don't do anything. You've used it to great effect.

I don't know where it went. Put it back on it. I was looking for it earlier. Shield is even better now. This guy's so. You can do it in Barnabos's voice. This guy fucking saw. Seeing Scrim, like directing his

attacks upwards. Yeah. I don't, I, I'm not doing the math. How high up is this guy? Only like, every block is 10 feet. 80 feet. So he's 80 feet. You should have a spell, it's like 120.

Am I, am I within a hundred? Yeah, 100%. Absolutely. Yep. There are you. All right, thousand percent. He's extremely confident, I believe. Um, I start, I start to gesture.

I start to move. As I draw the flame of the wall towards me, and I hear, I super heat them and I pass it through my, really careful I'm going to pass the energy through my heart. And from my fingers, I erupt a bolt of lightning that I'd like to arc out in a line directly at this library club. It goes through your heart a little bit, but you're okay.

Oh, okay, well, that's pretty. I cast it a fourth level. It is a Dex 17 saving throw. Dex 17. Saving throw. Are you gonna ask him what happens when a Cobold is struck by lightning? He gets a 10 total.

That's very funny. A 10? Totally? What happens when a Cobold is struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else. That's very funny. Why do you remember this? I think it's mechanically impossible that you don't get this.

Uh, nine, definitely keeping that. So two and three. I was hoping this wasn't Marin's music. He knows he's gonna really mellow out really quick. It's kind of sound like Bayer in the music pretty quick. 19. 29. 29. Wait a second.

Yeah, 29 minutes. He, oh, one more. It's lightning. Yeah, get it. 32. 32 points of damage. He had seven hit points. And I would say if you could remove the blocks as his body plummet down, fried,

Coal's, what sound is it falls down, it hits the ground like a burlap sack full of vegetable soup, as he just both scrim and I are covered in more of this. No, no, you guys are both midsummer really hot. You guys, you're a shard. He lands right here, he enters the realm of influence of the wall and he'll take five, his body will take five feet. He was fired at fire.

No, no, just it lands and catches on fire. It was murdered, it's not on fire. I see the side of his body catching fire like Anakin where it just sort of slowly mopses him and like he just gets crispier and crispier. This unnamed four ivory clutch cobalt is gone. I'm going to turn to this one poleball

and just say you and that. That's the conclusion of their turn. The ogres are going to these two ogres are going to race over and start to attack the cobalms and moly rhino. I'm going to make a decision as to whether or not Not they have any agency in this?

Yes, they do. They're both going to attack the cobalds. That's going to hit. That's going to miss. So one of the cobalds is going to take a certain amount of damage, and I will roll that right now, which is right here. Does this. Lost.

And then... I love that this is just the Pathfinder troll. You know? It kind of looks like trundle. I think this is a Warhammer troll. This one really reminds me a trundle. Yeah, it's very trundle. I mean, that's why I love the Pathfinder Tron.

I think it's one of the best. They don't have, they don't have, oh, they don't have multi-attack, that's cool. Let's do this, let's do this. Very here, Cobold. That's number four, number four, Goliath is going to take. Oh, God, my head. Four-oh. Four-oh.

Damage, damage. That's the conclusion of their turn, top of the round. What else did the six do anything? I mean, he's gonna race forward and he's gonna attack the Cobolts. Okay. He's going to, thank you for reminding me, miss, unfortunately. That's going to be the top of the round. And Sixer.

That was six. Yeah, Sixers. Oh, we're at Fives. Yeah, I already took there. Okay, good. Monsters are up, or rather, cobalds are up. There are no cobalds on this side. They're all done over here.

So it's just going to be the one next to Tisham. Oh, I didn't even see that guy. He's going to. Yeah, he's hiding on the fire on the barricade. It's all red. 5-0 is fine. Hawaii and Johnny. Hawaii Johnny, manny.

Oh, I forgot me. And Mudge. Johnny and Mudge. Gosh, the Goliath seemed to have seem to have done nothing this entire time, haven't they? And it's because I've been misinterpreting this as the ogres.

That's the ogre. We're going to do the Goliaths real quick. Uh-oh, so the ogres aren't even up there on initiative. You, correct. Yeah. I gave you a round while they just stood around. Like,

you get two rounds on five. That's six-set from ready-clays. I'm gonna do two rounds. That's one natural 20. And, okay. That's Hawaii 5-0. Hawaii is gonna take... Mudge Sixer.

Mud, six. It's funny, when you say Sixer, I think, of Gravity Falls. Oh, wow. But the Sixers are also from fucking Ready Flyer. A D-12, you say? I can't believe we're gonna get through this entire fight with our truck not having any casualties. I mean...

I can't believe to me no casualties on the side of the day. Hawaii 50 dies as... Please, please do the case. As great actions, slice into him. His entrails spill out. Like the great beast from Dr. Seuss. He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he's, slicing away, he leaves Hawaii. Oh, my.

The real problem is now they're going to turn to us, you're Mike. Number two, when he closes his scrim, I'm sorry, scrim. I'm in trouble. I'm in d- shit. He gets a 24 to hit. Yeah, that's enough. You know, it's a D-12, so it could be really low, could be really high, you know? It depends on what it's pluses.

Oh, plus, so you can't kill me. I'm okay. Oh, I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. Damages I roll max on my D-12. I'm alive. And... I'm technically alive. Oh.

Now the co-boats are gonna- Oh no, I can bonus action disengage. We're good. Okay, we're okay, I'm alive. The two co-bole are frantically trying to fight off the ogres while on a flaming woolly rhino that is now under Yornear's control. Unbelievably, they were able to hit Manny again

with another natural 20. I hope Manny is fucking, yeah. Oh my God, bro. Look, we would deserve it. You know what I mean? We deserve it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we need to be punished for this.

He's dead, right? Yeah, he's cut. Yeah, yeah. I just wasn't sure if he was like, I wasn't sure if like where your face was irrelevant. What is that? What is the hell?

So if you were to film it, it would just be us and them all fly and you see and blood and then and then it's a it goes up. It's like something out of sponge bomb. Yeah, what do you mean? Like, it's like crash.

These two, these two coboes stabbed down and one of them, stabs into his chest and you hear Mani yell out, and then the next one hits his artery on the side of the neck. Oh, he's terrible. And you see blood coat almost like fabric, his entire arm, and his blood sprays out. He's beyond bloody.

If bloody could happen twice, the threshold that he's in at this time, that is the conclusion of the Kobol's turn. Gary, you're up. Gary, Gary, you see your chance, take your revenge, your iceboard now. Avenge Hawaii Vivo, this is your destiny. Just running back out through the fire.

I can step around. And he'll turn like Ramby the rhinoceros and he puts his head down and he's just gonna charge. He has enough movement to charge into the Goliaths. And he's going to try to pull them over, but mechanically I think he can only attack one guy. Will he take fire damage going back through the fire? Yeah, he'll take all these guys

will take the damage again, presumably. If they hold on it. This is how much health he had when you started. I'm gonna ask you to start tracking that as well. Okay. Because he had to go through the original fire. The last there. So you may see I roll fire damage again for our flamed.

Thank you. And the coal bolts on tap. Did you do this? No, I'm sure. You're good. With a natural one, whomever you are hitting, definitely fits. The, oh, I do. Okay, that was for the charge.

Shift. Oh my God. Mike you really enjoyed it when Hawaii died. The Kalias was supposed to be a threat. They've been standing there. It's immediately. Bouch! Just to, damn.

Oh, God. That is funny as fuck. And are they deck saves? 26 points of damage. To as they come through the wall. Both cobalds and the rhino. So I'm gonna make a deck save. He fails.

26. Number five is taken by surprise. And as he enters the flame, flaming wall, he is screaming and on the other side, he is no longer screaming as he dies. Number six is doing okay, but he's definitely, they had better days. Holy- Yeah, he's gonna charge into,

I would have him charge into the Goliath that's on scrim, number two. He is going to attack. It's like Jumanji. He rolled a natural one. That's okay. I'm gonna be okay. I'm gonna be all right, I promise.

Hold on, I got a plan. Oh, yeah. There's also no corrects around you aside from the battle axe wheel didn't go on? I don't have a robust reason, right? Wait, maybe he's advantage, hold on. He might be an advantage. You don't know.

If the target is a larger, smaller creature in the run out, Rostles has moved for 20-flose feet, he has. Oh, but I need a hit for that to happen. Yeah, okay. Nothing happens. He's trying his best though. He killed that Kovol.

Okay. That's an actual turn. Um, oh my God. So, Mandy's looking really bad, right? Yeah, he's like bleeding out. But he's not dead yet. One arm, one arm, like, is limp. He's, like, trying to get the club out of his slippery fingers. Jesus. He's here. That's him.

So, one, two, three, four, five, six. I got to say. That's pretty big. Thirty-foot radius sphere? That's pretty big. I look around, and I see all of these ogres just horribly maimed. Discriminate like he's on death's door. Oh, fuck yeah. Oh my God, yeah. Yeah, it's very bad. Very, very bad. I can't stress you how bad it is. Um, your eyes spawn, resist! I'm going to, uh, from this point, a sphere of like, this sort of swirling, almost Aurora Borealis will start to spin and like ripple through and expand

outward as the um, fortitude of the land and especially, the the fortitude of of the car almost fills everyone in a 30-foot sphere I'm gonna cast mass cure wounds I fucking love that everyone's fucked I want to save Manny I think that's a great fucking play so it's here like you're kidding me one two three blue curtains of magic three six start to arise as your eyes is brighter and brighter and brighter and I think it's like me how the swell of magic I would guess. I can choose up to six creatures in the sphere.

Nice. The blood disappears. Suddenly you feel invigorated again. We're golden. I'm gonna pick it. One, two, three, four, five. Am I any of the damage? I'm gonna damage a little bit.

We don't know. I'm gonna heal the party, manny, and the rhinoceros. Yay! That's what get out of jail free card. I'm gonna give it to you. That'll turn off the burning. Actions. I will say that that turns off the burning.

Amazing, thank you. Actions don't have to. It's a middle of a blizzard. It's a middle of a blitz. Don't have consequences. Don't have consequences. Scrim will never learn. Scroom will never learn.

All the ogres or just Manning? No, no, just Manning. Just Mani. You've got your right now, so you do you. I want to prefer the rhino. Does Taichshend look pretty good? You know, you got some pretty bad. Everyone's getting fucked up.

Ooh. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 19 points of healing to all six. of healing to all six. That's literally more than enough. That is fucking... I'm fucking ready to rock and roll now, man. You're finally awake.

That's very funny. He holds his neck and he looks down. The blood is gone and he lifts up his club ready to find a nearby enemy. Of course, of close, close. Oh, wait. Did Gary and this cold bolt end their turn there? Yeah.

Okay, because they took that damage when they moved through the wall and they'll take it again when they add their turn. Oh, oh, well, then, hold on. Mechanically, I will allow that you. You. You definitely. One, two, three, four, five.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's going to following your instruction. So I'm just going to quickly make some dexterity saving throws. Oh, he needs to remake the fucking. Oh, he needs to remake. Oh, because of the, uh, it took damage. Damage. Oh.

Oh, let me reopen that stat block. So he might actually break this before and he could attack someone else. One moment. What is it? DC 17, 16? The 17. 17. Uh-oh. And it's a wisdom.

He's 13. He is still under your power. Everything happens. Game State maintain. Additionally, because he's bucking and attempting to get the Cobold to fall off, I rolled a natural two for the Cobold that's riding him. He falls to the ground from. Oh, shit. Okay. Oh, so it will take the five to you. Well, no, it's not his turn. Yeah. Oh, I thought they acted the same time. No, no, no. He's a different.

Yeah, it would have been, here's, here's Gary's turn, this is where we are now, now it's your near's turn. I took my turn. You're your turn, Barnabos, you're up. You fought well, 5-0. You died well, and you shall be avenged. I, I'm running, brother. I'm running past number two, because number two,

thank God. Didn't. Now, you're- Didn't gut 5-0. I love that you're where your head's at. Didn't gut 5-0, and I, I'm taking an opportunity attack, and I'm running to number three.

You're going to take- Now you're a fair fight, as I'm gonna- You feel an axe slash across your back as you run forward and you take 13 points of slashing damage as the one that you ignored takes advantage of your position. Oh, what did he roll?

But now screaming it away. Um, he rolled a 16 plus. Oh, I'm gonna hack to my best, and I'm a heel. I'm good. I do it. One of the crab legs that's grown from my back, all attempts to pariah. Nice. As I use my reaction,

to use my Beast Garbarian feature. Oh, yeah. That's close enough. I now have. You can save yourself from the DeMont. I know of a 20, I pair it with a 24. Wow. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Well done. This Chichy! Nice try! Yeah. Dura. As I am going to, I'm, I'm recklessly attacking.

I'm advantage on number three. I'm pretty sure I hit him with, Gary hit him with a 15. Gary hit him with a... It does. It hits him? Yeah, there's a AC is 13. I'm smashing and con-saving through DC 13. 7 plus 9.

13 points of bludgeon damage for 3. Thank you. Oh wow, 13 is doing fine. Okay, if that gets me down to... Is it doing fine? Yeah. He doesn't know they take him any hits. No, I'm gonna...

Okay, okay, okay. Okay? You still maintain concentration the whole way through, right? I have it. And then... Yeah, you? Yeah, you. I don't think he's taking most damage.

I don't think I've been hit. E. 13. Yes, that's right. Nase is a first huge attack. Okay, God. I'm going to attack him. Unless with the wall broke I needed to roll. I don't think I'd be 20.

I don't think you took any damage though. I don't even have your... You're united and dig damage. He is like 13, but he rolled the fear. No, he's actually damage. I fell through the fire. You didn't... That's right.

You don't mean, you're fine. Yeah. You don't roll. Still standing on the wall. Yeah, you're fine. Don't even roll. 11. 11.

Und do, like, 10 characters of damage? No, no, that's too far going. Can't rewind that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 18. 25 points of bludgeoning damage. Because I get on top... I just move in between...

I'm dodging through, to Hawaii's entrance. Three was looking okay before, but now he's not. On the ground, I'm like, ugh. You will pay with your own blood As I smack and I smash him down And now he's prone

You want to pay! That is my turn. That's what he says. He says you will pay back. He's pretty lame. Scrimmns. Burned, bloodied Absolute disaster that I am

I am faced with the Goliath standing in front of me. I grab the brutal blade with two hands and attempt to just twice stab it into his gut to try to kill him. I'm gonna make two attacks against the Goliath.

Okay. Does a 25 hit? Yes, does ACs 13. Oh, both will hit. Okay. You don't hit him in the stomach. You accidentally stab into one ball and then the other ball.

Right the crotch, just twice in the crotch. On the first hit, I am going to drive the blade deep into his flesh and you're actually gonna watch as this red energy sucks out of him as I use my life drinker feet, which will deal an additional 1D6, and then I get to roll a hit die and heal that much. Fantastic.

So the first hit's damage is going to be, 1, 2, 3, 45, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 points of damage on the first hit. Jesus, to what number? To number two. Okay. And then let me look at my hit die here real quick. I think it's a D8, right?

And then I'm also going to just apply Fury of the Small, so that'll be an additional ten on that first 10. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Do you want to keep going, or do you want me to tell you that he's dead? He's dead. You hear one of his, the Elias Bredder's goal. That's he's dead. He's dead.

I'm going to re-roll my second attack then as I limp forward. Yeah. Past this flaming, I can't get to without cooking myself. You can still approach him and then back up, right? Or no, you're, you're, you're, what is your size? I was gonna try to, I was gonna try to coo de grave. Are you small or are you medium? I'm small.

He doesn't wanna, no, I'm medium, I'm medium. No, you're small. I'm fewer, you walk through the rhino. Yeah, you can walk through the rhinos. The rhinos is an hour. Not on fire anymore. Yeah, no, he's good. Okay, you can just, I basically like,

limp over to this thrashing rhino and I'm just trying to not get crushed. As I want, I'm gonna use my second attack, and I'll even re-roll it to try to coot to groth this guy since he's prone, I guess roll at advantage, correct? Yeah. Yeah, he is prone.

That's right. That's right. 21 to hit. That does hit. You should probably just let his throat in a really cool. 10 points of damage to this COBOL. 10 points? Yeah.

You try to slid his throat, but you actually stab him in the balls. No, I'm kidding. He's dead. As I see this cobal like lying in the snow prone, like freaking out being pretty. He's not even looking at you. I just kind of hobble over to him. And again, with the brutal-bladen boating bow. hands, I'll run it through his throat and I'll say, your fucking dog food.

And just watch the life leave his body. And that's my whole turn, but I did heal, so I'm feeling pretty good. Sick. Tishan. I will. Okay. So now seeing that all my comrades are incredibly tightly backed here, I am gonna instead of shoot a fireball. I am going to, um, fast scorching ray. See, you have precision, man.

At a, I want a surgical precision. I just wanted to light it all up. Remember you'll be disadvantaged unless you step away. What? Why? You're engaged. You're engaged with a guy. What? That guy? That's Wolfram talk. You can't say engaged. This is, this is Dengers and Dragons.

Isn't that a, that's not a Dany thing? I don't think so. It's within VIV. I thought Engage is a term. Engage is a very helpful term. Well, you'll be also disadvantaged. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll be disadvantaged.

You got a back up. Yeah, so you have to incur an opportunity attack. And then you're gonna stop you. I don't know where, I'll back up one. Yeah, so just take a, just take one, one opportunity attack and then Unleachel? Uh, he says, backing up, hey? And he slashes you with this.

We were doing nine slashing damage. Did he hit me? Absolutely. Oh, no. He hit you, I mean, unless you want to do something. for concentration unless you want to do something about a 24 to hit I rolled a natural 19 Can you stop that there's no way you there's no way? Maybe unless you're a season name in 19 you've got you've got shield because his his plus is is is is five

you've got them dragon wangs dragon wangs dragon wings uh yes actually it was a 24 yeah uh as he who shouts out really cool things. Oh, you've got the golden scales. These almost like, these golden scales. Yes. These claiming golden scales will erupt in front of me. As I say, what are you gonna do about it? You dumb bitch?

You dumb fucking idiot. And he missed. It's pronounced dumb bitch. Dam bitch. That's actually much of my mind. That's actually much of my mind. name. Mudge dump it. Who is?

What a nightmare. I love Mug. Do it. Please do it. Rich, you remind Mikey to tell A. Yeah, yeah, no, we're good. All right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna start, because I think if I finally understand correctly, is how this will work.

I'm gonna start by shooting a fire bolt. Right at Dumbitch. Oh, okay. Dumbitch is gonna have to dodge, or you gonna have to do it? Well, I got to actually, shoot this one. All right, his AC 17. Backing up in the Fireball day. In the kerfaw fall, I'm backing up and I'm shooting a fireball.

I'm missing. Now I'm going to use some sorcery points and I'm going to quicken an actual spell because all I did was do a cantrip. Yep, I'm going to use this spell as a bonus action and now at fourth level

I will final cast dissing great. Yeah. Not quite. Almost. Soon, probably, actually. Uh, where is it? Dumb bitches gonna kill, blah. Uh, scorching ray. So I'm gonna fire out four blasts, uh, punching, uh, punching my fists in the air.

I see why you're doing this. That's really clever. I like that hot. I like that hot. And I'm gonna target the ones, uh, two and two on the Goliaths that my friends are engaged with. Oh, you're attacking. them first, not the cobal that's engaging

Yeah. Okay, yeah, okay. Within five feet. There's only three and four is left, correct? Oh, that definitely. For Goliath, yes. Now, hold on. The Goliaths AC is 13. It's a while. Oh, that was a 13. I could feel a 13 in you when you said that.

Yeah, it was very 13. Yeah, I rolled a four, and I was like, well, it is, it plus nine. So. Done. Well, well, well. Oh, then so. So, so. Let me just see if the second one hits. Yeah, that won't have. I'll roll 46. He takes 46 damage.

No, I know. It's an old joke. We've done it for years. Well, it wasn't funny. 14. Tough crowd. Tough crowd. I didn't have Mesa touch you tonight.

I'm stressed out over here, everybody. Oh, right, that one will hit. That one will hit. And that one will hit. It was 17 and a 19. So this was a little bit. It is. And all the meta magic changed. All of the meta magic changed. I didn't, I didn't know about it. And then 15.

I'm so stressed out. I'm so stressed out. Why? Because you had to add dice? I was looking, I was like, oh, my meta magic, it'll do, it'll do this stuff, and then I'm reading it. I'm, a minute, second, I just do any of the stuff it did before. Why did you need me got to take me? No, I feel you. That's why I'm all fucked. My character, she's completely different. And we have had combat since I, like, she. No, no, no. I know. I know. I know. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't. I did like all the medimadger changed. We're gonna do more comments. We're gonna do more comedy.

We're gonna do more comedy. All my invocations are fucked. All my spells are fucked. It's fun. These bolts of fire fly through the air almost as fast as the Elders blast that can be, that Scrimkin produce.

But like small rockets, almost like a firework, smashing into them. Sparks crash out off of the gray skin of the Goliaths and you see this. See this? Three is hanging on by a thread. He's dizzy. Four is still holding onto his axe and looking for more.

But aside from the fact that they're both berserking in rage, you did not take out of them out. You just did significant damage. Is that the conclusion of your turn? That is. Finish them. It's their turn. They're both gonna attack Barnabos. Let's go.

They're advantaged. Natural 20. Great. Natural one. He's advantaged. Oh. It's advantaged. Natural 20. and the other one is a 23.

Those both hit. Oh, that'll hit. Okay. I don't know who he's about you, but that'll have it. The first one is going to be seven flashing. Okay. The next one is going to be five slashing.

It'll be half of all that. The next one is going to be nine slashing. Oh, Christ. Okay. That's it? That's their turn. They're just yelling and hacking and barrenom. They're hitting in, but, you know, chit in his shells and his overall large,

Overall large form being what it is. I'll give you a chitness. One chitness chitin chel. Chitinous chel. Chetitin's pizza in my mouth. Kiteness chel being what it is. They don't do much damage, and that's the conclusion of their turn.

I think there's only one cobald up. Yeah, right in front of a little time. Dumbitz is gonna run forward at Tyshen and stab in. He's going to get 24 to hit. All right, in the last round of combat, you guys want to see how fast I can drink 12 beers? Just do it. Oh, I probably don't run my reaction anymore, right?

Because I used it on my turn. You just got it on your turn. You're the start of your turn. So you got it. You cast scores away. Yeah, you've used it. Then the Goliaths went. But when I moved, I used the scales when he attacked the Doberton.

Oh, that was on. Good call. Because I moved back. I was using my own. Thank you for being honest. You're exactly correct. So I think I'll just, I think I'll allow this one. These loyal followers of the Princess of Wrath are willing to die.

for her cause. And this, even though they are but few remaining, they are fighting to the death. And with 10 points of slashing damage, this one stabs into you? I think this wasn't. They can run. Very good.

Gary is going to, in a mad rage, Stomp all over the place. And you know what? Just because how often do I get to be a rhino? Very good right. Fuck him up. He's gonna stomp back and take opportunity attacks if they choose to.

They're focused on martyposa. Oh, that's right. He gallops over me harmlessly. You're gonna step back 20. He is charged back in. He leaps over me with the grace of a woolly rhino and does not actually charge me, please. It's surprisingly graceful.

And he managed just barely. I'm a small friend. And a friend. I'm a small friend. No, no. Your pinky toe looks like a pepperoni now. It just crushed just the edge. Eighteen a hit.

I only hit what each man. That hits. Oh my god, it hits. Holy crap. It does 2D8 plus 5. Oh, what are those? D.D.8 is going to be. Oh, I have to be one.

Which one looks the healthiest? He stabbed me. Yeah, four was which one I was going for. Three. How does Rollin concentrate for, you need a roll con? Yeah, I just, I just did. Oh, Cohn, saving throw? Okay, so it's 16.

16. How much damage you did? 10. That's 9 plus. I just have to beat the damage. Because he got Gord. Or have to. of the damage.

He's an extra two. Whatever's more. Okay. Nice. Nice. Next. Next, it makes 22 points of piercing damage total, and he's knocked prone.

How much? 22. He's 22. Rye no becomes Rye yes, as number four is killed. Yes, that happens also. That happens out, weirdly at the end. Bizarrely, it happens for all of the dead creatures.

Oh my god, he has two assholes. And then he burst in the flames. You order, you're up. I can't really see any of this, because I'm down here on the other side. No, there's Sephirothing. And I'll just see a lot of over-farming. There's this kubal up here that I probably can't see very well.

How does Mani look? Does he look, he's not on the verge of death anymore? Mani is still bloodied, but he's on the fence of bloody, is what I will say. Did they act? And he, he, the ogres? No, because I replaced this with the ogres. The ogers, the ones who are behind

the fire aren't doing anything in Hawaii's dead. They're just standing around looking to your ear for what to do. They look dumb. That seems happening. Hawaii. Hawaii. Yeah, they're whipping. No, Torkar. This is your destiny.

Fire good. Fire good. Hawaii. Fire bad. They're screaming into the heavens like the wharf from the next generation is what they're doing. That's all they're doing. So you can do whatever you want.

I will look at them and I'll turn and I'll start to climb the barricade, and I'll sing, Do you hear the rhyme to scream? Screaming the shrieks a burning tank. And I'm going to stand up and see that they're still in the life here.

Multi-classes? And I'm going to take my finger, my gnarled finger, and it's going to like, Frozone-style light ice beam as a frigid, as a frigid, I cast Ray of Frost as a cantrip. He has to do a save, right?

I think this is actually an attack. It's a range of attack. That makes sense. 13. 12. I hit script. That's okay. Yeah, you're definitely can't kill me.

You look down in your, you're destroyed tinky toe. And you hit almost up. It's nice that you. Barnabas, you're out. That's my dude. I looked around. Fides castaways, fight! Rite Ryspan castaways your chief commended of you.

Kierry's traitors dogs. Not that one. Not that one. I believe he stood up, so I am going to recklessly attack him. Shubiddy boo. That'll hit. He needs to be a cons saving through DC-13. That's a key 12. He still fells. He falls down. Nine plus, sorry, nine both seven is 60 points of bloodleting damage. As I knock him down, and then I'm going to forego my

advantage from the reckless critical because he I am advantage on the prone. Nice. That should still, that'll absolutely still annihilate him. That's over that. And so I get to add a D10 to that. That's eight, 13, 20 points of legending damage. And I'm going to use it for Brutal Critical to basically all up him and set him careening towards scram. Oh, if you know the home run bat from Smash Bros. It does the shine. How do you want to do this? Screamer.

I want to knock him down. And just a cold ball. No, I got him. I got him. Yeah, yeah. I got him. I got him. I said, how do you want to do this?

I'm not taking it back. Yeah. You let have to be this way. You ask for bloody you. You got it. As I then just swing down. I think I smash his skull down. I just obliterate his skull and with the hook of the anchor.

just fooling his corpse back directly in front of Scrim. Not to knock it into him, but almost as if like a startling way with this guy. Yeah, I was like, ducky. Yeah, I agree. You watch him roll into the fire, and immediately just nameless Goliath turns into nothingness.

He gets yomched in the wrist. He gets absolutely yamshund. Far of those turns back towards the camera, sweating and the flame. I point the brutal blade, and Tysheny for paying attention, it kind of looks like my name's not very steady, and I'm kind of pointing to play to you, and I say, uh, play on Taichin!

As I fire off two Eldridge blasts at the old Colbold that's right there, hmm. Uh, the low is a 17 to hit. Oh, yeah, everything gets. 2D10s, uh, 19 points of damage over two blasts from Eldridge. Yeah, one point off of max. Uh, to the- Sorry, I lied. It's a one, it's actually 10 total points of damage.

What number of cobald is that? That's number one? Yeah, 10 total points of damage. 10 total. Not 20, not 19. 10. How do you want to do this? I just cook his ass with my elbow, blast. I say, Tai Zhen, watch out!

Oh! And these two beams, they kind of swirl, and they hit their mark, and it smokes his ass. He falls from the barricades. Ah! He makes that pitch sound as he falls from the thing. He lands at men's feet. And then I stop as everything's off fire,

and I'm breathing heavily. And I look around, I say, guys, That escalated kind of quickly. You can't believe what has happened in such a short amount of time. This blizzard still rages in all directions and you can hear the sound of movement from any direction.

Looking around, you expect that there might be another Goliath or another Cobold at some point just beyond the perimeter. And you were all, despite the intense cold, intensely hot from the fight that has just happened. This podcast is brought to you by our Patreon.

Thank you. Oh my god! Like, I exclaiming quickly! Holy smokes! We have to move out of here quickly. I think there are more coming! Get the way from the beast! Ah!

When the beasts, uh, magic fades. I needed to make an animal handling check. Oh. Please, I don't want to die. Twit is not where you were near as a Viking. I think five twists. How many we have? We only got.

We have 12. We got seven less. We seven more. I don't know. Use at least saving. It's also a level 13. No, we got there. Oh, you annihilated it.

Crushed it. I'm ready to make a Dexter saving throw. With the 26, you don't have to do much. Raise a hand, perhaps. The bond that you've shared, the Willie Rhino has resonated with. It was the one who was forced to destroy. who was forced to run through a flaming barricade by these cobalts. It was the one who knows perhaps what happened to his brothers and sisters during the naming ritual.

This was a beast that was treated with burden, and for you to have offered an opportunity at vengeance and perhaps a new ally, it calms. It does not immediately go to stomp scrim. It just looks at you. And it gives a long... Yeah, nice. Yeah, yeah. I approach it. Do you drop the wall of flame?

Yes. He can't. It's just on fire forever. No, the wall of flame drops. You are all surrounded. You've got quite a bit of time while you feel the heat of battle before the cold comes back in,

but you are still being caked and battered. All of you, and the ogres included by the pelting blizzard snow that's coming down. Oh, sweet. Fuck, we have to get out of here. Easy. I want to approach it and see if I got like grab it, spawn.

I will, knowing that we just basically killed a bunch of law enforcement. I'm gonna try to pull the rhino by the horn and lead it through the broken barricades too many, if possible. You're able to do that easily, especially with the flames extinguished by Taishan. You're all able to assemble. on the other side of the barricade threshold.

And Mani, even though he's still covered in what was his own blood, the wounds have healed from your magic, you're near. And he... Goodness, is that escalated quickly. Oh, you did, Manny. Two arms. All of the ogres. Anyone who can carry a club or a cudgel.

Anyone who can lift him build. Have two arms, except for seven. I never know. To Arns, to to to, uh, to cudgels, to clubs. To clubs?

To clubs? He looks at the others. They look again at Hawaii and they scream up into the air. Hawaii gave his life to protect us. I nearly gave my life. Rebuild the barricades. Make them even higher. Make him even

thicker. Take this beast in, care for it and feed it. It may come and useful when the time comes. We will keep the woolly rhino safe, and we will not eat anything. Do not eat the rhino. We will not eat the rhino. Do not eat the rhino. But feed the rhino some food if we have some grasses, perhaps, or hay.

We have cobald. You can try. There is no time we must go. There is no time. Many chuckles, and the others look at each other with hunger in their bellies. Well, which way are we going? The horn will have summoned reinforcements.

We have to get out of here before they come. The Dwarmen District's like right next to ours, right? Yeah, yeah, a 15-30-minute jog to the west. Making a way towards the market district. You should be able to... stay close to the road's edge, and by hugging it, find the entrance to this Dwarven district. As we begin to, like, I guess, depart that way, I'm going to follow you on here. As we begin to leave our district behind and kind of hustle in the next district, I'm going to look at the guys who are hustled on and go,

do you guys see that asshole and threw that rocked and Barnabos? He had him right to fucking head, and then Barnabas just speared and right to goddamn chest. Holy shit! Does it like run off into the darkness? That comes out of hand. You share your war stories. Say true. What an asshole? Who throws a rock like that?

What do you want? It seems that they wanted one simple thing, what the ivory clutch, Cobold was repeating over and over and over. Stay where you are. Don't leave the district. That's the only decree the princess had. And one thing led to another,

led to another, and like a small domino pushing over a slightly larger domino, you've now find yourselves in a more serious situation, having committed a grave offense. I feel that there may be something to be learned from what just happened. Yeah, something about not throwing glass

and stone houses. What did I speak to you before this began? To steal your primal rage, and here we are. They were going to stop us from getting to the district. We had no choice but to kill. other ways. No, there were not. We are lucky that the blizzard provides some sort of cover. We must get underground. We're using the glider to our advantages and that what you're all about, Mr. Yorne. Yes. Let us get below this on Holy Earth. You walk in through what appears to be an

unchanged entrance. The ruins of the Dragonborn city that was, you now have much more familiarity with the Silver Dominion, having experienced it through the eyes of Sigdis, the Princess of Wrath. And you see the architectural qualities of this space have been unchanged. Whatever land or real estate has been granted by the princess to the Iron Vane Brotherhood, they made no changes, they made no transformations, perhaps after decades. Covered in snow and even through the whiteout blizzard, you can see these buildings are boarded up or some even collapsed from years and years and years and years.

of weathering and age. You start to walk through the buildings, getting a sense of the space, getting a sense of this desolation, and don't find any immediate signs of the Iron Vein Brotherhood. They need everyone to make an investigation check. Oh, no.

11. Probably a plus one here if I had a... Ooh, I only think I got one more. Yep, 12. 16? Eight. You might be okay. You might be okay.

This quarter is a maze of domiciles, a wide expanse of these former dragon-born structures and homes. All weathered and worn, untouched. You look in through the cracks of some windows and find spaces that have been unattended to for who knows how long, but nothing that would suggest a dwarven tribe. There's no footsteps through the fresh snow that is nearly up to your knees, perhaps, your thighs,

if it's a foot tall. Four of you start to look and weave through this strange, ancient district, this artifact in time, this object in time. But it takes time for you to make sense, sense of all this, to keep looking. And in your desperation, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes pass as you continue to walk up and down the streets of this space. And I need everyone to make a Constitution saving throw. Oh, wow. Holy shit. Come on. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

I'm the fucked. That's 13. 19. 24. 22. I fail. Scrim. The cold starts to seep. And the adrenaline of that fight fades, and you take one point of exhaustion. I'm pretty beat up. That stands the reason. Oh, yeah. And you continue looking. I need you all to make an investigation check

as you get deeper and deeper into the district. 18. With a natural 20, a 21. 21, folks. One. What am I doing? What kind of test am I doing? It's a segregation.

It's going to be reduced by two times my exhaustion level, which is going to be a nine, because I had an 11 minus two is nine. Another 15 minutes pass. Another 30 minutes pass. But eventually you spy something. I need everyone to make a Constitution saving throw as you approach. So, like that's all right. The lizard is fucking us, man.

Are saving throws considered a D20 test? Yes. Yep. Brutal. I fail. You take another point of exhaustion. Anyone who gets lower than 16? Oh, I actually think. Oh, yeah, there's no way.

If we're resistant to cold, do we get advantage? Oh, my apologies. If you are immune to cold, you're resistant. Resistant. I would say that you are automatically exempt from this. In the same way that we did when we were in Mark I, you are... So that means me too. If you are resistant for whatever reason.

Oh, because of your higher... You're now more saturated with the power of Mahmout and Vicar. Running through your veins, you are able to withstand the terrible cold. I had it 24. The heat, the natural flame, that draconic fire that exists within your blood. The fire was there. Srim. You see through the swimming snow freezing to the bone, a low flat.

I'm slowing down. I got minus 10 to my. to my speed. You're all having to sort of weight up as he's pushing and trudging through the snow. It's deep snow. I'm like almost like three and a half feet of all. Above his knees at this point,

this granite structure that's clearly just almost been stamped in the middle of the neighborhood. What would have been a building or the side of a street, it doesn't seem to have cared. This wide, flat-faced granite structure, half buried in ice and snow, marked with a sigil at the front.

You can see a octagonal door right at the face of it, has a helmed face of a dwarf whose beard interweaves underneath it forming both the shape of a pickaxe, or perhaps the tunnels or veins of a mine beneath the earth. Above the door, you can see some script of language. And that massive stone door there stands against the weather, there before you now. 10 feet wide, 12 feet up, an octagonal door.

The four of you stand there shivering in the cold. I read the script. Attempt to, a deep speak dwarf. I do. Oh. I do. You are familiar with this language, these shapes, these symbols in what order?

order, you read, those who ask for warmth deserve neither bread nor blade. That's pretty raised. Yeah, that's a cold-ass thing to say to a motherfucker. Yeah, and it's cold. Before it freezes the death outside door. Yeah, that is cold. You also see, as you all approach, just adjacent to the door, what appears to be a bell pole, a large copper bell coated in rhyme and snow and in a pole.

These floors are suited for the land. Likely a hearty folk, I have my doubts. And I'll try to go inside if I can. You walk up and you push against the door and it does not budge. You may attempt to move it manually. And you are also a little bit under the overhang of the door.

It's a bit deep. into the actual space. So it's almost like you're standing underneath the awning of a front porch. Arm the boss. The bell. The bell. I will just try to force the door open.

Oh, give me a strength check. I will assist if I can. Thank you. 16. You push and you push, and unfortunately, you're not able to get a grip. There are grooves of etchings, of engraved patterns. Nothing that feels like language to you, but aside from the decoration, your fingers slip on the cold exterior of this, and you aren't able to get the leverage that you need in order to roll or push in this space. After another minute, you've given up. I fucking hate the ice. While we're just right outside of this door, as we're trying to figure out what to do, I'll create a bonfire. Oh.

You turn and you... With the spell? Yeah. You're able. When you're in the bonfire does damage, and I would treat this as a normal sized campfire. It takes, it's a five foot cube. It's a five foot bonfire.

That's a tall fucking thing. And so you immediately feel the heat against your back. back, you're able to turn and feel that warmth pressed against you. Oh, that's Tyshen. It's just like sitting next to any normal fire, burning normal fuel, but it is magically produced by Ticheng. Gather around while we figure this out.

The bell? I wish not to alert them, but perhaps it is more. Proud is the only way to open it. This is like a rope to pull? As simple as a rope, but you notice that the chain go both up and down. Pulling the bell not only seems to rock it and create the sound, but it runs both into the building and down through a hole. You imagine that it's perhaps connected to a counterweight. I will, I'll just go and I'll, you know, it's just like

when I was whaling off the coast of Cadillac. And I'll just try to basically grab and heave and take all my learnings and just pulling on shit. You were shocked by the smoothness of this device. As soon as you pull down, you put too much weight into it. Bung! It hits on one side, and then when you release, it comes back swinging and hits the clacker, I believe it is? What is the, yeah.

Bung! It makes this loud sound that it reverberates and echoes through the space before being muffled and destroyed by the blizzard sound all around. you, the slab shifts and rotates out of the way. Look down and all you see are flat stairs leading down into a dark, dark opening, clearly forged into the earth. God, God, God. Oh, Clay, it's forbidden. I will whip a moat, I'll whip a moat of flame from the bonfire and then banish it behind us and and hold in my palm a flame as we descend the stairs.

There are no torches, just these low flat stairs leading down underground. There are no handrails. It is a smooth, wide arc of a circular staircase as you start to make your way just down. Following Taichene, you continue to make your way through and into the darkness, feeling the sound of the blizzard disappear behind you. All you can hear are the sounds of your companion's breaths and steps as you make your way,

one, two, three steps down, one, two, three steps down, one, two, three steps down, turning and shifting all the way through the spiral staircase for what it is. Eventually, after what must be 100 steps 200 which feels like longer than you spent in the blizzard it's no warmer or colder down here

but you know that you're hundreds of feet under the city by the time you reach an opening and through that portal you can see a huge ballroom sized chamber a cavern that has been clearly crafted

into the earth not a cave opening with hanging stalactites. No, this is a space that has been carved. Do you see any tunnels? There's a large room. Do I see any ways out of the room? You hold the light up, and I would ask you to make a perception check. Mr. Yorne here, you have a tether to this land, don't you? Do you know which way we're going?

They've already lost my bearings down here. at 12? With a 12, you see dim light hit the exterior of the walls. You can see something of a ceiling much higher up, perhaps 50, 60, maybe 70 feet up.

You see the other side of the room is obscured, opaque, obfuscated from you. Your light doesn't produce enough illumination, but you can see that to your left, there appears to be a an opening that almost has a glow as though there's light in that direction. Looks like something to the side here.

A bit of light just from the edge of the wall there. All right. Stay behind me. Okay. You walk forward and you start to cross this threshold. And I would say that it's about 15, 20 feet in that the light, the almost torch-like light that Tyshan produces, allows you to all witness what's on the other side of this space. A 40-foot-tall, massive arched with iron doors, frame of which is clearly crafted by some darker rock with veins of iron running through it.

There's a lindle that has nine notches in it, as though smashed with a hammer very intentionally. You can see this reflection against the illumination, the sole source of light in this space. But your eyes are still drawn to that side spot. Aside from this giant closed gateway, you will recognize a smaller arch. Well, more kind of the entrance that you came in on, this sort of octagonal shape. But instead of there being a stone doorway, there's a curtain of ice that simply, stops. This large door must lead to the dwarves deeper into their home. Yes. But this here, a wall of ice. But is this? You think the princess may have sealed a pathway

into the bastard? I think that's a pretty good guess. Yeah. If my walking stick works down here, it doesn't. Oh shit. I would love to triangulate based on which way north is. Where I think, think if we just drilled straight down, which direction would the biting bash would be from the breath? This is going to feel a little necronistic, but I think it's important. There was a study done a long time ago called the Feel Space Belt, in which they put a little tiny cell phone vibration engines all along in dots, all along the perimeter of a belt that you could wear.

And whatever was on the compass direction facing north, that would be the vibrator. that would be buzzing. And you'd think that would get annoying, but the brain is extremely good at taking information and turning it into knowledge, senses. It turned into a sixth sense. People who wore this belt, they would feel North changed for them

as they turned to the road as they drove around. They would feel it as they walked the paths. And eventually they forgot about the buzzing and just became like finding pigeons. They could just know where they are at all times. And so as you went down that spiral staircase, as you navigate any of the buzzing, the space. As you make your way down to the bottom of this chamber, and as you look through

this doorway, I'm not even going to make you roll for it. You feel extremely confident that this door faces the biting bastion. Yes. If this tunnel goes directly ahead, it will lead straight to the bastion. Do we smash through or melted? Yeah, melt it. Come on, you get it up, buddy. I can try. The four of you start to walk forward, and I think that as you, as you, you get closer, you realize there's a bit of a light glow that's the light coming through from the surface of the lake. You're not that far down. But you also notice just to the side what appears to be, for lack of a better word, almost like a wheelbarrow or a plow, a two-handled device with a single wheel at its floor. Adjacent to that is a table with a number of boxes.

on top of it. This is accompanied by a feature that right at the top, a small symbol carved into the rock itself reminds you of the shape of the biting bastion when viewed from a farm. No time to waste. And I'm going to basically just start

like pick, you know, pickaxing my way through with my anchor. You can start to chunk into it. Yeah. As he weekends in a lot, I'm making huge chunks and sheets to hopefully like push. I'm trying to melt as he like.

mirroring where he's chipping in. You watch as Tyshan and Barnabostar to chip into it, and they are breaking into it. When they do two things, it becomes immediately obvious, just as it was when you tried to punch fire your way through ice in some of our earlier adventures, that this might take some time.

Even with Barnabos at your side, with literally an anchor like a pickaxe, you're only pushing in six inches, four inches, eight inches at a time. You have no idea how many hundreds of feet you might have to go in order to keep chipping in. But all four of you do recognize something else. The dank smell of earth and stone all around you is immediately swept away as you get this strong sensation, this smell of... eggs for like a better word. Scream? What? Wasn't me?

What have you done? I didn't do anything. It smells like you. There's smell the brimstone, isn't it? What do you mean it smells like me? I don't smell like that. That's offensive, Your Honor. What could that be from?

I wanna... Can we get a sense of where the smell's coming from? Yeah, uh, you may choose, uh, perception or nature. Uh, yeah. I mean, Scrim would have no. No idea. No idea. 24. With a 24, you don't suspect scrim. This has a slightly off, even though it has that same rotten egg smell. It's that rotten quality that really triggers something in your senses. As you start to smell, you lean into it and you get a sense that perhaps whatever is at the bottom of this lake or perhaps what is underneath it is feeding it with some form of of like smelling rotten gas. Andy's more worried about it blowing ourselves up this moment.

As if we've opened that up into this. As if they are chunking into it, that that has been released. And when you get very close to the ice, you can see that there are these small, flat, wide bubbles frozen there in the ice, almost as though a bubble was trying to reach the surface and is only able to very slowly make its way through eons of frozenness. It is some sort of fume trapped in the ice. Okay, well then I'm waiting for my apology.

You must admit it smells like when you do your things, your stuff. Okay, just because Bonobos is cooking makes me a little gassy, doesn't mean that I... No, this is not what I mean. When you use your various blasts, or when you use your magic, sometimes there's a smell. I'm not even aware. That's a thing. This is the first time hearing of that. You've become nose blind.

It felt insensitive to bring it up before. You guys got to tell me this stuff. You just letting me walk around like that. Jeez, I would tell you guys if you smell like rotten eggs? I want to look around the table and like whatever, the meal barrow, and just sort of get a sense of like, is this here for a reason? Make an investigation check. It's almost so good.

I know, it looked good. 11. 11. With an 11, you find the very obvious thing, which is that the surface of the table is covered in Tinder boxes. You would have to play with the plow or do something with the plow

to get more than the information that you can observe. Yeah, yeah. Flute and Steel. What? I will pick up the... What did you say? The plow. And just get a sense of what it is. The plow?

You hoist it up. They're still going, presumably. And as there, you wind it around, and I would say that it takes you. Scrim, take this, and I'll hand in one of the tinder boxes. What do you have to do with this? Investigated, tell me what it is. It's Tinder. It's, you know, we get light fire with it.

Why, what do you mean, investigated? Is there some sort of secret, some kind of trick, or dwarven curiosity? When you open a net, you find the user? Fuck. Tinder box accoutrema. All right. All right. Hmm.

Um, yeah, so I'm sort of investigating the plow, I'm lifting it to sea. Like, what could they possibly use this for? Um, you, uh, don't get a sense that it's for carrying anything. It doesn't seem to be like a wheelbarrow. It seems like a, um, what you would expect one would plow land with. Something that you would drive forward in order to forward in order to cut a path into the earth.

But there doesn't seem to be that blade that goes down that would do that. It feels almost like a toy. You've got two handles and a wheel on the front, and you start to walk it around as you continue to mess with it. Why are you doing? Keonea? Why are you messing with that? Why would this be here if it was not used for something?

What do you find, Scrim? Oh, do I need to roll in a mess? to roll an investigation check? No, I'm asking how you mess around with the tinderbox. I guess I would just open it up to see if there's anything different about this tinderbox based on what I know about tinderboxes, like if there's something that sticks out to me

or if it's just a normal tinderbox. Do you work it a few times? You seem to be able to produce sparks. I mean, it's flint and steel. I don't know what you want. What do you want me to, like, play? Yornear, as you walk around, you hear the sound of Tishan,

and Barnabos as they both fall forward. Perhaps mid-lurch or perhaps mid-punch, the wall of ice suddenly shoots forward as Yorner takes a few steps and experiences the magical emanation of the plow that he carries, pushing into the ice. What the hell? Realize that this tunnel, for lack of a better word,

can be driven, can be forged by this. magical device Well, that was easy Mr. Fireblossom, you're off rhythm Come up, you need to do the rhythm I thought I heard the old man saying, we do our beats Oh, okay, leave her, Johnny,

leave her, tomorrow you will As I will stumble forward We did it, Mr. Fireblossom! Oh, this is so much easier than that other time. This is... The power of the shanty, Mr. Fireblossom. This is a very strange thing to observe. Ice isn't dissolving or evaporating.

It is as though watching ice in a glacier move backwards in time. It is shrinking away from the magic as though pulling up. It is antithetical to the device that you are now wielding your near. Look at you go, look at that. Use this.

You're saying it wasn't the shanty, What did that? No, it is some sort of magical plow. Well, he picked it up quite fast, Mr. Foyard Blossom, if we need it. Now you know the power of rhythm. All right. I'll go grab my staff that was leading against the wall, and I will turn.

Just don't go too fast. We don't know how it works. Just be careful. I'm not going to do that. Yeah, I go as fast as I can. I can't wait until we get trapped in the ice. Yeah. You race forward and the three of you attempt to keep up as he dashes.

I have minus 10 speed. You're relieved. My feet. I only move 20 feet per second. Oh. Well, you're very relieved as they move with Barnabon. You're not able to keep up, even at your dashing speed. No.

If he's truly running, running, he would leave you. And if the emanation were the kind where the ice reformed behind, you might be frozen in time forever. I would be very dead. But fortunately, it seems that the tunnel remains as you continue to make your way forward. Part of us, it said about the 100-foot marker that your plow hits something.

Do you keep running? You sort of are running along the floor of a lake at this point. There's earth beneath you, frozen earth, but it is pushing away the bubble-filled bubble-filled pieces. If you hit- Are you like Prince of Egypt right now? Like a frozen version, like looking up

and it's like fucking the bottom of a lake bed? And there's, oh, that's cool as shit. All around you, it's like- It's like- Deep-run Tram. Yeah. All around you, it's a soft glow. Remember, the surface of the lake must be covered

in perhaps a foot, foot and a half of snow. It is the middle of day, but there's a blizzard raging. And yet, still, you can see this indigo blue all around you and these white flat pancakes of bubbles have all been suspended in every direction, like a star field, as you are walking into what is a truly, fully frozen lake, not an inch of underwater.

There's beauty here under the water, even in fresh water. As I stop, and I'll get a sense of what I've run into. You look down and you've hit some sort of a stone marker. There appears to be a navigation marker, perhaps. You've hit some form of, It's embedded into the lake floor. It's clearly been placed here, and it's engraved with markings.

Do they look draconic? They look dwarfish. They appear to match the same kind of script, but it's almost runic in nature. This is not a written message. Mr. Fireblossom, are you keeping up? I'm right behind you. I-

Mr. Yorner, could you come here? Mr. Stavis-Skotch, how are you feeling? Oh, I'm way behind. I'm just taking my time. Hurry up! Mr. Stabba Scots come here. Hop on. Is there room for me to, like, ride in it?

It doesn't have a basin. It's not for carrying things in that same way. I would usually have you clap or pick you up and try to put you on my net. I would say, with your strength being what it is and your size being what it is, it would be easy enough for you to piggyback. It's like the goblin and the ogre,

the goblin alchemist. Oh, yeah. On top of his ogre. I was thinking it screams in like a baby dorm. You'd see what a whole on with that. Yeah. I would try to read the runes. Make a...

This is not dwarvish. This is a marking. Almost like a sign. The same way that you would see like a radioactive symbol on the side of a barrel. That doesn't necessarily mean you know what that means. So go ahead and make a... Hmm.

So not a symbol he recognizes outright. Not right out of the gate. Intelligence check. This straight, unless you have a more relevant piece. Unless it's magical with Arcana. It's the best I got. Six. You look down and you see there are these very deep grooves.

Clearly made to last. Creating a symbol of an upside-down triangle, at least from your perspective. a three hash lines that sort of jut out from both sides, and a notched ring that sits behind the entire thing. You can see that there are blackened edges to the entire engraving, and scorched channels almost. So it's a triangle, it's a three, what is it, three what?

Three hash lines. Vertically? I would say if it's... Depending on what we're looking. Yeah, depending on what you're looking at, if this is the upside-down triangle, there are three hash lines, almost like wings almost. Oh, coming off each side.

Coming off of each side. Oh, the entire thing. And then the entire thing is, is. The nash circles, like, behind it all. Encircled behind it. Oh, the whole thing is behind it. With a notch. Yep.

Interesting. Are there different, do I feel like the biting bastions still just straight ahead? You do get a sense that if you align yourself with the bottom point that you've gone off course a little bit following Barnabost. It's an easy thing to do. When you realign yourself, you feel like that's probably, uh, is a navigational aid to taking you the direction that you want to go. In addition to whatever additional meanings

might, might come with this kind of route. So where we're currently at, we're not like, as we're pushing through in the ice is receding, there's not like rock on either side of us. There's just more ice. So we could in theory just like go any direction. You could, you could, uh, you could snake in any direction. Wide open, more or less. I mean, certainly. We're not following a tunnel.

You are aware that you're beneath hundreds of feet of life. Right. Interesting. Okay. Okay. Very trusting of the size. Yeah. I will, uh, have bought the bus that way. All right. Here we go.

Make sure we don't run any giant frozen frogs. Are you, uh, running? Are you continuing to jog just walking now? Now that I realize that we're in the middle of, like, in a frozen lake, I think I'm taking a bit easier. I'm actually worried about, like, these frozen frogs or something that I've heard stories of. I don't want to fucking accidentally, like, spears some guts of, yeah, some frozen frog. It's quiet down here. It's amazing.

You don't hear the sound of ice all around you. The ice is stable. And as you continue to walk, all you can do is feel the strangeness. of the place that you find yourself in. Even with the knowledge of why you're moving so urgently, the knowledge of who knows what has happened to Manny and the other ogres in your district, the knowledge of the other tribes of Drupal

and whatever the princess may be doing, there is a sense of awe in this space. I need everyone to make a perception check. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Are we still, in addition to that, are we still smelling the natural gas? Oh, yeah. I would say that you are feeling that very strong one.

Oh, I got a natural 20. Let's fuck you go. Speaking of natural gas. And you said, perception? 17 for me. 18. Oh, 26. I'm a Viking at that. Ooh, nice. Oh, shit. Perception, eh? Ooh, I got a 20.

You continue to look around. I'll be right back. Give me 30 seconds. Yeah. I'll resolve that moment. Do you see, Scrim? Ah, see what? There can be miracles, if you believe. What kind of, what kind of miracle?

I don't feel like there's any miracles here, you're in here. The fact that an entire lake is huge as this one can just be frozen solid. We're beneath hundreds of feet of ice. Okay, look, miracles are all well and good, but where are the fucking dwarfs? Why was it just empty? I believe they stay to themselves. That large gateway that we passed is probably... They main causeway to their homes.

It didn't seem that way. The fact that we did not see even one is strange. Perhaps they, like us, were told to stay inside. It's clear they've abandoned that town above. If ever they've used it. They were maybe gifted this section and immediately found solace from the cold and beneath the ground. All of you are feeling this, for lack of a better word,

euphoria. This wonderful feeling of joy, for lack of a better word, it's a remarkable sight to be looking at this face. It's nothing like you've ever seen.

Barnabos and Scrim, you start to feel a little suspicious of that feeling. You feel too good. You feel more good than you should. That's a little weird. You feel great. Oh my gosh. Wait, have you been drinking? Good grief. You feel really sharp.

It's unsettling, dust? It feels unsettling. Pretty ice and bubbles all around. Sure. Very pretty. Goodness. And as you continue to make your way, you eventually, 100 feet from there, hit another marker. Mr. Your Honor here? Pathway. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer here, but I don't like this. Well, you feel it too, Mr. Stavis. Yeah, something's off. Look, and I know I say that a lot. But like, something's really off here.

I can't put my finger on it. I don't know what it is. You think the effect of the smell? No, I feel too good. Look, I'm beat up. My body is broken. I'm cold and I feel too good. Something's not right. You know what I mean?

It's the wonder of the ice. Scream. No. No. I don't know. Something's wrong. Some sort of enchantment in the ice. Some sort of enchantment. We just feel totally, like, we feel good. You feel, you feel like the, the, what you're being shown right now is a, is a rare gift to be treasured before you get to the biting bastion and have to get back into serious mode. But damn it, if you're not going to have a quiet moment underneath this brilliant, like, absolutely. Everything is okay. We should savor this It is the

warmth of the ice in a way It's probably just all we've been through Scrimm, we have this moment We're surrounded by this beauty above us And so consistently threatened with death But for this moment we can appreciate this Maybe that's what you're feeling Oh, we need to get out of here

Nah, I want to like it but I don't We need to get out of here Yeah, we should pick up the pace Continue, let us go Let's keep moving You push forward, Barnabas, and you make it perhaps 50 feet. Yeah. Before I need everyone to make a Constitution saving.

Now, now, not another one. No, I'm minus four to all of my tests. Now I don't even get any Constitution bonuses straight up. Oh, it's negative two per exhaustion? Per exhaustion? Multiply it by two. Man, I love. It's so juicy.

It's just so fucking me. So good. I fail. 18. 23. 17. Scrim Passes out

What? What? Scrim immediately goes to sleep. He just is talking for one moment And then the next moment And his eyes close. It's in your back? I don't hit any more exhaustion.

Just, this is different. This is very different. Okay, got it. Scrim? Scrim? Are you okay? Scream? I think he just fell asleep. He looks very,

He's been through a lot. We should not rest. No, it's the intentment in the ice. Mr. Stabascair. He does not tolerate the cold well. Mr. Stabascoach, I know you're tired, do not fall asleep in the ice and the cold. Bonobos, we... That's the first thing they teach us when we sail on earth.

We have to just keep moving and get out of it. If it truly is the ice, we just have to get to our destination. Let me carry him. Let me carry him. Hold on. You forgive me. Yeah. Uh, go ahead and roll for Dan.

You hit. Yeah, there's nothing to do. There's nothing to do. There's just five. There's just five. You take five bludging damages. I mean, I think you could hold back. If I had to do one, that's great.

You tap them for one. Just to try to wake them up. I'm not going to just to make them up. I'm strong though. When you do, I need you to make a death saving throw. Should we cut our eyes? Yeah, you have to. That's part of the fucking rules.

What? I only have two. Oh no. Oh no. Oh. Okay. You can open your eyes. Is the dice moved?

Scrim. Yeah, you're good. Scrim does not react to the punch that you do, except that you can see that, I won't make you make a perception check. He looks pale. He doesn't look asleep. Mr. Yorna here, something's wrong.

Do something. Do something. And I need everyone to make an additional Constitution saving throw. No. Already good. 20. Nice. Good fucking shit.

23 again. Same role. 23. Okay. Oh, good. May I check him out? Medicine style. Make a medicine check.

Natural one. Natural one. Tyshen passes out. It's probably nothing to. 28 on my medicine. 28. This, with a 28, you feel very confident that you've seen this before.

In creatures that you have fished out of. of water. This scrimm hasn't been under water, but he seems to be suffocating. Okay, just give me a goddamn second. Just give me a goddamn second. So this isn't, this isn't feel like some kind of, um, this is hypoxia. Huh? The oxygen in our lungs is being displaced by some kind of gas. Yeah.

We're just not, we just don't have enough oxygen. Yeah. Oh my God. We're gonna de-opsyginated environment. We might just suffocene. Mechanically, by having- My minors! My ghost minor 49 are warned us about this.

Mechanically, failing the Constitution saving throw drops you to one hit point and makes you unconscious. By slapping scrim, you immediately hit him into a zero hit point zone. I'm gonna do that then. I'm gonna put myself at zero. I did not understand that's how that works. I was simulating it on my side because of the mystery involved, but now that as soon as Richie said the word hypoxia,

Do I feel like pure wounds would do something? Oh. Do I sense the lack of hit points? You... With a 28. With a 28, you think that you could get a round of temporary hit points out of the equivalent normal healing, but you're not filling someone with oxygen magically with a spell. I just want to stop the death saving throws if they're happening every six seconds, right?

You can, you can with a saving, with a healing spell. Okay. Yes. Let's go now go go and you're you passed out mr. fireblossom I'm going to oh my god I'm going to cure wounds cure wounds just put us in the in the but he was technically at one we don't know that we don't know that he's technically a one yeah he hit him so that's why he was doing saves I don't

I don't know the difference between that I don't still can you grab both of them I'm gonna make a verbole and having a debil or whatever. I will push, you grab them. Alright, yeah, give on us. We're gonna get out of here. You're gonna be positive. Yes, I'm gonna, I'm gonna heal you both. I'll roll for it and they'll be different.

Sure. Scrim is gonna be. It's pretty good. 15. Beautiful. Pyshen is gonna be. I'm assuming you're still unconscious. I just have HP now.

Correct. Cool. You're in your Fainty or you're stable. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so gain the HP, presumably, right? Yep, but still unconscious. Yep, okay.

And you are dashing, and you push farther into the ice. You are pushing forward. We're gonna make the flat bubbles of this gas that surround you continue to be dissolved as the plow forces its way into and deeper. You hit at the 100 foot marker, the 300 foot marker, how deeply you've pushed into the, this lake, you hit another stone marker and have to make a slight adjustment.

Now that you understand how your near is sort of angled himself, you can continue, but I would say that you're going to need to make another Constitution saving throw. Is it death saving throw a D20 test? Yeah. Good to know. It might not applaud. I don't think it is. That would be bad.

I don't think it is. That's actually very interesting. That would be nuts. I would love to see how it is articulated. Maybe it is. There's no way exhaustion would fly. I'll Google it to. That would be fucking crazy.

It's a dead saving throw. Anyway, ask your question. Is this saving throw happening a while after we're running? It's happening every 100 feet. Okay. Because the second I would have healed them, I then would have twisted my hand and use Druidcraft to create a gust of wind

in my face to see if I feel like it changes. If that does anything, let Barnabos know immediately. As soon as you push a magically created gust of oxygen into your face, and you take a brink, a lull that yourphoria fades, it is replaced by a pounding headache. And all of a sudden you realize that you must be surrounded by whatever the smell is, and it's replacing your ability to get oxygen. Like someone who's drowning. Because we stay aware, here, and I'm going to basically

gust of wind into each of their faces and just trying to basically push forward. Yeah, we need more air! The moment you're able to get oxygen into Scrim and Tyshen, they pop back to their former hit point value that they had before. Oh shit. Seriously? Yep, you immediately come back. Okay. It is just this, this shutdown that happened. My lover called me an old windbag.

As I use gust of a gust of wind, is that what's supposed to call this spell? I'm gonna use gust of wind and blast all of the gas away from us, if I can. The steel air. In a 10-foot line that goes 60 feet. So it's gonna be like a howling gale, but then basically hopefully, you're near the head of us and blasting it, and then as soon as we get out of it, you guys can get ahead of me and I'm backing up. Tishan and Scrimm, you wake up with a pounding, pounding head.

It is almost difficult to see how you are. And the sound in your ear is this rushing burst of wind that Barnabos is magically producing and sending back down towards the entrance through which you came. What's happening? Keep pressing forward. Oh, God.

Let's go. There, let's go. You continue to push forward. I'm hustling. I'm moving my full movement. You are using your full movement. You are trying to keep up, holding on to Barnabos. Tyshen, you are stumbling, keeping one hand

on the side of this ice tunnel that you are making your way in, and you make it to the 400 foot marker. How long does the gust of wind last? I think it's a minute. My BIOS upgrade is in process. I'll check. I'll Google it quickly. I'll check.

I would fumble around on my phone. I'm sorry. It's taken a lot longer. It restarted without, I must have missed an alert. I have you. Thank you. It lasts for one minute's concentration. With one minute.

minute, you have ten full rounds of stashing. You're able to make it the full 15 markers that you would have needed to progress. And with Barnabos magically sailing the wind around you, you are able to race through the space, occasionally making an adjustment of navigation. One marker, two marker, three marker, four, and you come to the other side, what is very clearly an evident. another aqueduct gate, like the one that you walked through. And you passed through it and pushed in to a very dark open space, but you were no longer surrounded by the lake, the ice, the bubbles of this gas.

You are in a dark space, a very dark space. Oh, cats. It is completely not illuminated. You may have dark vision, but you appear to be in. the undercroft, the lowest level of the biting basket. And it is dead silent. Oh my God. I feel like death.

I'm not on my head. I can't see. Thank you for getting us out of there. I think I passed out. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did too. Oh. You're alive. You're alive.

I believe. You're in the bastion. She called me her North Wind. Her old North Wind. What sorcery was that, Mr. Yornear? Would that be the land or the ice? It was better where we were. Ah.

Well, let's see where we are. It was no enchantment. The moment that you flick your hand and create a flame, just the tiniest moment of... of hits as the remaining gas that happened to be in the air ignites. And suddenly you connect the dots all four of you, the tinder boxes, the regular frequency of the markers, and the symbols of the runes. Had you just created a small spark with the tinder at every hundred meters, you would have

safely and harmlessly dispersed the gas. Oh, wow. Oh, gosh. Okay. Okay. I'm not doing so high, guys. It's been a day. You've been off look, well.

I don't feel well. You'll just stay. Stay on me back. Stay in the netting. Okay. Get tangled up. You don't fall. It looks like maybe we've gotten out of the worst of it.

And then we're at where we're supposed to be. Is this the Bastion? Looking around, you are in a, a hallway almost shaped like a donut. There's clearly an archway this way, an archway this way. It's not particularly well kept. It's stone, it's wet, and it, well, it's covered nice,

I should say. And to one side, there appears to be some form of illumination. What is clearly the orange glow of some fire and to the other complete darkness. You are at a loss as to know where you are, at what point in the biting bastion, but you can safely say that you are within the threshold of the stronghold now.

We've made it. Either direction forward? All right. Let's find this villain and break him. Which way should we go? You lead away, Mr. Yorne, it's your sense of direction down here. This is the land. Going flip?

Do I get, I mean, besides the, the light versus the knot, right? Like, presumably the knot would be more stealthy. So I think I would turn that way and start... I think into the darkness, man. You walk. And you begin to pass a familiar face after familiar face. On the exterior wall, presumably facing the...

Either rock or the frozen lake beyond, there are these large furnaces. These huge, massive furnaces. that look like they could burn a rowing boat easily fitting into the mouth of these large iron furnaces. You continue to walk if you're following the dark path and making your way around. And you realize that you have to go all the way around

what is essentially a large ring at the foot of this fortress before you reach a staircase that makes its way up. You realize that you could continue making your way around and continue to find the illumination that would be on the other side. Fuck that. We're on up. Yeah. But you find the staircase and you're able to make your way up. As you progress, the stairs get taller and taller.

These are not stairs designed for a smooth and easy gradient, but a very tall, and they're well worn. The edges of each one of these are warped and shaped by hundreds of centuries of feet. And in order to climb, almost climb up some of the verticality of these stairs, you keep your balance, making sure not to slip. You make your way into the next threshold. And Tyshen, you are illuminating the path, presumably. I'm going to need a bit of a marching order. I've kept, I'm probably towards the front, maybe you're near and I are, uh, I'm probably in the front, but yeah, the titian's right behind me.

The two of you see it first as you walk into a chamber larger than the ballroom that you walk into the base of the fortress. And you are shocked by the end of the music as you transition into this next space. more gold than you've ever seen in your life. Before you, as you feel Barnabos and Scrim join you, you reach the top step, and you are staring at, it takes a moment to take in. Hills of gold pieces. Gold shaped bullion, gold nuggets, bars of it.

This is more gold than you could fit on 10, are more abounds. Okay, I'm gonna be all right. Put me down Barbos. Let me get over there. No, Mr. Stavisgots. Look, I feel a lot stronger. There's no good here.

It's fine. Let me just take a little bit. We can take time to pillage once she's dead, Mr. Stavisgots. Fill up a little bit. No. The coin purse is a little empty. I've never seen anything like this before. She may know somehow.

We do not know. We touch nothing, Mr. Stavisgol. You think it's cursed? Gold has great math. value. How? Mr. Savage, Scotch,

about half of every tale told it starts with cursed gold. I don't know. Half seems like that's an gross exaggeration. It starts with

cursed gold. Your own tail. Your own tail. The details are iffy. It's a coin. It was really just a coin. The material the coin isn't really bad.

It's more about the contract, okay? Look. We should live past this. We don't have a lot of time. Yes. We know where It is now, and Mike Barnabos said, once she is dead, you can take your fill.

That's right. Not until this is over. Scrim, picture approximately 100 roll-off dumpsters full of gold. I can. And that's what you stare at. I see it. But you also picture something else. In fact, you perceive it.

You are looking so intently that you see something that shocks you. You recognize the bucket. You look and you realize that the lowly tap man, his home, the top of the moor abound, that ship that you just thought of that was full of gold. The crows? Just above the mountains of gold. You can see that familiar shape angled at a side. Oh, my.

It's so obvious. Guys, it's come back to kill me. My mortal enemy, the bucket. It's right there. It's the crows. Can she take it? Yes. You're talking about the ship?

Is it trophy? It's the crows nest of the damn ship. Oh yeah. After all this time. Sot of a bitch. I didn't know she was sentimental keeping souvenirs. As if in mockery. Y. Exactly right.

Crawling up or maneuvering around, you were able to sidestep and get a better look at what's actually connected to this mast. And you find the Moorabound ship, shockingly, relatively intact. The whole ship? The entire ship sat on a massive platform, a lift with huge chains that clearly goes up

a central shaft of the biting bastion all the way, perhaps, to the top. A artifact that you watched sink underneath the ocean, full of gold. Okay, now she's just fucking with us. Why? Why how? We saw it sink beneath the waves, swallowed my darkness, I did.

Well, we've seen her open portals before. The abyss took her. I saw it. I mean, is it completely unreasonable to dredge up a ship, Bonobos? I mean, you know, right? It can be done, but under 20 feet of ice? Fair enough. It is.

She was to the locker. It is a miracle. The artifact... Not water that deep. Not beneath ice that thick. Ha. With the artifact, anything is possible. Boy the lady.

You think that's it. Just the power of that thing. Just gives her the power to do whatever she needs. I cannot fathom any other way. We've seen her. Did she not open portals in the sky when she fought the ship flying through the air? Jeez.

I just thought that was a dragon thing, huh? Maybe she opened some kind of tear to the ship when it was under the water, spilled it here, to claim it's gold. Ha. But fastened it? To the bastion itself? It's chained. To be clear, the platform it's set upon is fastened to chains.

The more bound sits upon that. lift or that elevator floor not fastened to the actual platform. Oh, it doesn't have changed on that. The ship is sitting on what, and it's like half broken, right? It is sitting on its side on a platform that can be lifted. And you said this thing's in good shape? No, it's in terrible shape. Okay, okay.

Okay, so it's still busting the fuck up. It's just, it may, it may even, in one piece. Another logical conclusion is that, she is an ice dragon who dove under the water and picked it up with her fucking talons because it's full of gold and lifted it up and took it to the top of the mountain

so they could lower it down here. That seems extremely reasonable. I'm not arguing, I'm just trying to understand the picture. Whatever explanation, you know. Portals, of course it was portals. The only portals there are. All right. Are there any stairs up?

Make an investigation check. It's like a large door maybe. I mean, the reception change? This elevator we think goes on. You know what? Perception, if you like it. No, you're not trying to deduce the exit. You're trying to look at it. Exactly right.

Perception is exactly correct. My apology. 17 easy. Yes, you are able to walk around this fantastic, kingly amount of wealth. And eventually you see that on the other side there is a door. A door that is starting to feel a little less like the undercroft stairs and a little bit more like a fortress proper. There's a doorway, there are stairs leading up. As you start to walk forward,

I need everyone to make a perception check, an additional one to see if you notice something you might not notice if you weren't looking for it, and we're just heading with urgency towards the door. 25, 21. 17. 10. Scrim, you're the one who picks up on this. You're looking at everything.

Oh, yeah. Magic items, perhaps? I hope so. Is there gold? You see leaning against a table a sword that you recognize. a broad sword made of a otherworldly metal that you have only seen in the hands of a Giff Yankee. I'm gonna say, that looks like our old pal,

Kets! Look, it's Kets Soin. I'd recognize that thing anywhere. Do we know what happened? We have no idea what happened to him. He's in the bathroom. We know he's there. We know that he...

I thought the last time we saw him, we gave him up to Sikundus. Yeah, but then she killed Succundus and brought him back to the bastion. And we know... We saw it in the vision. You saw it in the video. He's right over there. All right. I forgot to include that in the interim.

It makes sense that his sword would be here then. She's keeping it like a trophy. I want to have old cats alive. Or if she ate him. Only if he may have ate him. It's unlikely. That she ate him? No, that he is alive.

Okay, we're on the same page then. We should leave. She's been keeping everyone else alive for humans. We believe so far. She loves the humans. He is not one. He is not even from this world. If we find Kett and bring him his sword here,

he may be able to join us in a fight against the princess if it comes to that. And who will carry it? Not going to be me. That's for sure. We have enough to worry about. We have enough to get worried about. We can tell him where it is if we all.

If we all survive this and he's still alive, I'll tell him where it is. The odds of him still living is. extremely low. I'd be happy to carry it, but my legs only work enough to carry gold. It's crazy. No one bring anything. We should leave. Well, there's the door. We leave. Can we open it? Are there strange markings or ruins here? When I say door, it's portal. It's, there's a, you don't have to, like, swing open a door in order to make your way. You can see these stairs starting to make your way up, and you continue. It's surprisingly not frigid. This, this, this is, this is, this, this This entire space seems to be heated, at least to some degree.

Not perhaps to a comfortable place, but it is not the cold that you experience in the dwarfen chambers. It is not the cold that you experienced under the frozen lake, and it's certainly not the biting cold of the exposure above. And you start to make your way up to the next level. As you do, you continue to follow Taishan's illumination, and you walk through to the next level. It

appears to be the dungeon of the biting bastion, or at least one of them. You can see on either side a number of barred iron doors and sliding gates, a hard stone that has been well crafted to ensure the security

of anyone who may be put inside these cells. And you can see that there's a long hallway leading to the other side before you can make your way up. We can go onward. Careful, quiet, in the dark. That's right, Mr. Fire Blossom. Lead the way. All of them lead. Now that it's, yeah, I'm going to basically try to use my beaithful instinct. I can smell really good. His animal instincts. My animal instincts are telling me to go quiet in the dark underground. That's very funny. I have dogfish. I bet you're

back. I'm smelling. I have my animal instincts, my beastial, my sea hunter instincts. You're infiltrating and you feel this awareness of the space around you but all of you feel the necessity of secrecy you only get one chance to surprise a fortress like this and to blow it would be perhaps certain doom and you step forward trying to make as little uh uh sound as possible about halfway through you hear a voice you hear a rattling. You hear a very familiar voice. It's funny, so

see you again in this way. Oh, he's still alive. We turn to look. You turn and you see a bound figure, not bound in the sense that they can't move, but chained. And he stumbles forward. And once he

reaches the bars those of you who are able to see in complete darkness. And I think that might actually be all of you. I don't think I have, but. We don't have dark. Yeah. Oh. So you're following and you don't see the horror that Scrim and Barnabos can look at.

Oh, no. Skin hanging almost completely free from the bones. His flesh gone and his right hand taken. He puts, both arms between the two bars and leans forward. Hello again, friends. And that is where we'll end the night's session. This guy's not gonna be happy.

This guy is full. He's gonna be really upset. This guy is fucking, fuck them. We magically sold him out. Like, we were, we were magically manipulated in selling him out. Hey, bro. Well, it was magical though.

We was against our will. We basically all just failed and we fucking gushed about everything. Because, Secundas was too much of a bitch to fucking defend his prison.
