Nerd Poker - Episode 35 - Power to the Queeple

Episode Date: September 17, 2019

The Ice Five are locked in tense combat with a mutated, winged giant 25 stories above a glen where the Queep's people once flew free of tyranny. Perhaps today our heroes will bring justice, and finally sneak away from this weird place and the creepy scab-looking beholder who's their friend now. 

Hey everybody, I'm Brian Poussin, Comedian, writer, actor, nerd. I've been playing D&D with my friends for a long time. I decided to do a new podcast where we play Dungeons & Dragons in my very own dining room. With my wife, kid, and my noisy dogs. So meet my friends Sarah, Kev, Dan, Blaine, Chris. Now it's time for another episode of Brian Poussaint's Nerd Poker. Season 3. Hey, everybody.

I'm Brian Poussaint, and you're listening to Brian Poussaint's Nerd Poker. My friends are here. Look at that. What episode are we on? I didn't ask you first. 35. 35 of season three. Chris is here.

Hello, Brian. Hey, buddy. Sarah. Hi. Ken. Hello. Dan. Hello, Brian.

Hey, buddy. And Blaine. Hi, Brian. At the end of the table, as always, Sam. Hi, everybody. Oh, my God, Sam. Yep, he's right there. The man himself. at the end of the table as always Sam oh my god Sam the man himself I'd also like to thank a few Patreons if you will

oh yeah do that and then I'll do the other thing exactly I want to thank a guy named Hulk Hoagie420 thanks Hulk Hoagie420 it's the 420 that makes it thanks David Preston thanks David thanks Tim Bates

Thanks, KKL. Thanks, Eric Ewald. Thanks, Mark Dillon. Thank you, Mark. And thank you, Hal Seen's Great Big Justice Boner. Thank you, Hal Seen's Great Big Justice Boner. Congratulations.

Now is it GBJB? In celebration of justice or because of Boner for Justice? There's not another column in the user spreadsheet that says the context for everybody's jokes. We should maybe figure that out. I think a boner for justice. Yeah, that's definitely.

Boner for justice. That is definitely what it is, yeah. All right, I hope so. But I have no way of verifying. Making a lot of decisions for somebody's name. I can't get them up on the phone. It's just not an option. Brian's now got a few things that were sent to us

that he is going to read. Bill and Quito, I think. Brian, would you like the flashlight on my phone? Would that help you read these? No, I think we've got this. All right. So, Blaine, where were you when you got the fitty? I was at the Melrose Improv,

and I was doing Christine Blackburn's game show, and a guy came up to me in the audience and he said, hey, I love the show. And he put money in my hand. And I said, sign it! And his name is Bill Inguito. Inguito, yeah, it looks right. Inguito or Inguito.

I hope we're not ruining it. I'm sure we are, but thank you, Bill. Thank you. Thanks, Bill. Thanks for the support and thank you for coming out to a live show. That means a lot. Oh, yeah. And then at our PO Box,

we got a little gift that I passed around the table already from a guy that makes nostalgic objects and art at a website, 1980 Who. And hi, Brian. My name is Ethan.

I'm an animator artist here in LA. 1980who is my side business. I make D&D items and 80s-inspired stuff. I hope you and your friends will enjoy these gifts. Thanks, Ethan. 1980who. They're very cool. Yeah, they're really cool stuff.

There's a Dungeon Master pin. I tried to get Dan to put on a Dungeon Master pin. I tried to get Dan to put on the Dungeon Master amulet. And it's actually like sculpted. My wife told Dan to wear the amulet when he gets pulled over by the cops. Just slide it out and be like,

Hey fellas, I'm cool. Perhaps you're familiar with this persuasion check. I have a backup dream catcher in my Chevy love in case this thing is on the fritz. But thanks, Ethan. Thank you. Yeah, thank you.

You got a couple other things there? Are you going to save them for next episode? No, that's it. I'm adding you on Instagram right now, Ethan. Did anything happen last week? I forget. You mean on the last episode of Nerd Poker. Oh, yes.

The narrator is right in your lap, Brian. Staring deeply into your eyes. Hello. You're sitting in his lap? This is so weird. I turned the volume down just a little bit. That's a big lap. Yeah, and I fit in it so snugly.

Weird brag. Are you like a... Are you like a baby sized person? No. Big legs, flat penis. What's going on? The energy in here. It's like a linguiça. Oh my god.

Oh my god, flat penis. Standing upon Brian's flat penis, I shall continue the introduction. Like a beaver tail. Like a beaver tail. Like a beaver tail. Like, I stand upon it like... I'm Lorax.

I speak for the tree. Like a pirate's plank. I walk on it and look over the edge of darkness. The only time I cry anymore is here at Big Black Vendors. I can't cry for real things anymore. Only this. I think about Brian's penis whenever I have to cry at auditions. The flat version.

Yeah, they say that's what Gary Oldman does. Yeah, yeah. Bambalam right now. Flat penis. Gary Oldman. Bambalam. Our Ice Five recruited an undead beholder by the name of Guxon, as well as his...

That sounds made up. Because it is. As well as his three gazer companions. Along with these four strange things, they laid a trap for the frost giant known as Heg. In fact, Dr. Uid even attuned himself to a petrified dragon's eye with intense telekinetic power

that threw some very good rolls that Dungeon Master did not really expect him to make. He hit a good range in the 1 to 100 that allowed him to tap into this telekinetic energy. They slammed the giant stone doors on the head and left arm

of this giant. His miniature has the shield still on his arm, but it has gone sweet heat skittering across the battlefield, and he is currently trying to dislodge himself. Halcine's storm above him, flaming oil upon

his leathery mutant wings, courtesy of Gus and Kweep. So, you guys are mid-combat. Wait, where'd he go? Oh, he jumped off of Brian's dick into the ocean. Like a diving board.

Have you guys noticed? It's like one of those Acapulco dick divers. I've only ever seen one guy ever do that dive. I regret nothing. So right now, yeah, you've got him trapped. However, you would notice he is thrashing around. He's trying to break free. He looks really strong.

The last thing you saw was him thrashing. He's got so much strength that even though Dr. Uwet is holding the stone doors on his head and arm, you see and hear grinding noises. The doors are shuddering against him trying to concentrate. So up next we have Dargthyr.

You just last round cast Hail of Thorns with an arrow. Are you going to cast something else with your arrow? Are you going to just fire some arrows? Are you going to stay some distance? What are you up to over there in Dargthyr land? that's a one one time usage yeah once per rest i will continue to uh oh wait does lightning arrow you can now do a lightning arrow okay oh that will do that all right uh so remind the listeners and me what kind of we're gonna do i believe a dexterity saving throw to try to dodge the electric energy.

And he's going to, again, he's restrained, so he's at disadvantage to try to escape via dexterity saving throws. Next time you make a ranged weapon attack during the spell's duration, the weapon's ammunition or the weapon itself, if it's a thrown weapon, transforms into a bolt of lightning, make the attack roll as normal. The target takes 48 lightning damage on a hit. What?

You will remember he might be lightning resistant. Half as much damage on a miss. This is how we will find out. Well, he has been hit by lightning already and it was from behind. It was via how seen Stormcloud. So you didn't get a good look at how he reacted. He shuddered violently, but you know. Whether you hit or miss,

each creature within 10 feet of the target makes a dexterity save. So there are two gazers trying to bite at his arm right now. And each of these creatures takes 2d8 lightning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. So first the giant's going to attempt...

You're firing the arrow, yes? Yes. So while he tries to dodge you... The gazer's on our side? Yeah. Oh, I don't really want to hurt him. They're Guxon's little babies. Shit.

So yeah, you are out on the balcony. Again, you guys should be more this way. You're parallel to the giant. So yes, you're all outside. The line of Dwarven Forge rocks I put on top there is meant to be the balcony. Oh, so we're on the thing with him. No, no, over there hot stuff but no no you could be where you were the first time before you got all uh handsy it's it's accurate it's accurate um but there's debris you can put those things i left for you there still you can be behind it that's why i put it there so they're like that yeah. There's a second set of sliding doors that don't work,

and you're on that balcony, so you can freely go in and out. But if you were to come any closer to the giant, there would be a stone door that's blocking you. So if it helps, let me just really quickly borrow some of these postcards. What is not represented currently on the map is this. I'm going to take my mic out of the stand so I can give you a visual here. He's coming into the audience, everybody. There's like, I'll just need one really.

We're celebrating any birthdays. A door slammed on this side, another on this side, and then there's two other sets that won't close all the way over there. Okay. Does that help? Yeah. Like that chest of drawers I built. Okay. over there. Does that help? Like that chest of drawers I built. So, you gonna

fire an electric lightning arrow, Brian? Yeah, please. Let's do that. Or no, you're reconsidering it because it might hit the gazers. Is there a way of... They're still within 10 feet

of where the arrow will hit. I mean, well, no. I will let you roll a disadvantage if you want to... Call the shot. Aim for his wings. Yeah, call the shot. TikTok didn't have to worry about this

because there's so much oil on him, but if you want to get high enough to not hit the gazers, you'll have to call the shot and roll a disadvantage okay yeah i'm gonna call this go for it what's that first one two well this is gonna be a miss no matter what then yeah take the lower of the two rolls oh shit so all right you still have to roll the second one you are but here's what i will give you this is like a an area of effect spell you're aiming high enough it's not going to hit the gazers it's just the arrow is not going to land you're not going to get that additional damage of the physical arrow

hitting the next one was the 21 okay that's a hit uh with the electricity so So he rolled an 11. So that's a fail. So roll your lightning damage. This is going to hit his head. Wait, I thought it wasn't hitting him. Yeah, the arrow is going to sail over his head. Oh, but the lightning is... But the lightning is this cloud of electricity

following the arrow. There's no arrow damage. That's why anybody in proximity is in danger. Got it. That's cool. So he aimed high. I mean, he didn't land it, but's still gonna do some electrical damage i may illustrate in a moment how effective it is verbally but we'll see shit

uh 17 yeah i mean you you see these electric bolts sort of arc over him, and it looks like they collide with him, but he's not as affected as he was by the lightning bolt that came earlier from Halcine. So you do get just sort of a general, uh-oh, this might not be affecting him that much, vibe from what you just did. Are you going to take another action or bonus action?

Yeah. Okay. Maybe he's another action or bonus action? Yeah. Okay. Maybe he's built up a tolerance to lightning bolts. I had an uncle like that once. Regular arrow, yeah. I mean, I believe you get two range attacks per turn. But this is just regular. Yeah.

Unless you've got something else you want to tell me about. Hiding in your pocket like a hamster. It's cool. No, and it's only a 13. Is that even going to hit? Nope. Afraid not. All right.

So up next, we have Dr. Uwud. I've still got this telekinetic thing on. The door's closed on this guy, right? Mm-hmm. Do I just have to keep that? I have to keep concentrating, right? Yeah, you can't break your concentration with another spell. However, you can try to run up to him and hack at him if you wanted to.

Oh, okay. I was going to try to play some Mahjong, but I have to concentrate. Okay. You can't cast another spell or it will break your concentration. And if you get hit, it could potentially break your concentration. But right now, you don't have anyone else in battle against you. Well, you know what? I'm going to go up and totally thwack them on the balls with my quarterstaff.

Oh, my. I love it. All right, move your little mini up there for us. That's going to be your whole distance. Get under his nards. He has nards? Frost Giant's got nards. Monster squad.

16. Stephen King rules. Yeah, 16. Is it his birthday? I think it was. Does a cantrip count as a spell? Would I be able to cast a cantrip instead of a... I mean, there might be something to your class. I'm not sure. The big benefit of a cantrip is

you can do it as many times as you want without having to relearn it. Okay, well, I'm just... That was a hit, though. Okay, I'm not going to take a risk that I would lose the concentration, so I'll just use the quarterstaff. Okay, and you thwacked him in the balls. Did you roll your damage? I missed it if you did. So let's talk about Monster Squad.

Sorry, let me look up a quarterstaff. Hey, Brian, what's me looking up this quarterstaff damage brought to you by? Fuck, I don't know. Yeah, Brian, who's playing at Palladino's right now? Let's see. I don't have anything written down. Improv skills. Oh, I saw some jazz metal.

Thanks. Tenor Saxon. That's not better than my nothing. I also saw Queen Diamond. I did a podcast where we were talking about Saxon And those guys And it blows my mind that King Diamond Would put on the makeup over his beard

Like Cesar Romero Just like Cesar Romero For years and years Did you guys see that instrumental band at Paladino's That was trying to infiltrate the KKK? No Godspeed you black Klansmen. Huh? What?

Wait. Quarterstaff is 1d6 bludgeoning. 1d6 bludgeoning. And how much punitive damage is? Just kids on the weekend. Five. All right. So you thwack them in the nuts. Yeah. Take that, youack him in the nuts. Yeah.

Take that, you thing that could kill me. Yeah, you just hear bleh. Does it make a funny noise? That was it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you mean like the collision of the quarterstaff with the nuts? It goes like poof.

Okay. What is he made out of? Giant? Yeah, this is like relevant, but like to my next move. I mean, he has very thick pale blue skin. I mean, is he just like flesh? I forget if he had crystals

or was he made of? Do a perception check. You're not up, by the way, but I will allow a. Well, I thought it might also impact what kind of noise his balls made, but yeah. Oh! She's just trying to help.

You don't see any crystals. It would be nice if it made a fun wind chime noise. Yeah, a wind chime would be great. Ice giant. I don't know, but a quarter staff and crystals just made me think of those long chimes. All right, Guxan is going to interrupt that weird aside that I just got into. I know I mentioned my flat penis, but I also have long balls.

It's not a good combo. Flat penis, long balls. It looks like you're a long sundial shadow. It's an excellent bookmark. Flat penis. Medieval reference. All right. It looks like somebody broke one of those little paddle ball games. It's an excellent bookmark. Medieval reference. All right.

It looks like somebody broke one of those little paddle ball games. They're hard to master. Snort. You hear howling noises. Guxan lowers one of his eye stocks, and a strange ghastly blue beam rockets out of it and slams into the frost giant's face. The frost giant begins to panic and flail madly.

Who did that to him? Guxan. So can he get to his face because the doors have... Oh no, he got more than just his arm in, right? His head and his left arm, the shield arm. Guxan's on our side. Yeah. You convinced him to come with memories of Druid? Yeah, I sure don't trust him looking like that, but... Yeah, I mean as as he does it he goes he goes uh oh god

why it's like he's afraid of everything oh he's he's giving you definitely a fraidy cat vibe i would say he's expressed enough concern and he's he's being uh sheepish enough way back there. You think he might be in danger of running away. But he is attacking. Cool. On your behalf. Tick tock. It is your turn. Now he is on fire, right?

Do a perception check for reals. For reals. Yeah, this is like what they call a for reals perception check. That's a 19. So it's not spread like napalm or anything but you do see there's a small patch of fire on his back under his wings his wings are beating hard though and it looks like it's hard to get them to catch um part of it is he's still largely supporting his weight by beating his wings he's got his arm his like right arm planted and his legs planted.

So for the most part, he's weighted on the wall, but you get the impression the wings are keeping him from toppling over backwards. So they're in constant motion, and it looks like it's keeping the fire from spreading that much. Well, we should stop those wings from beating. I will shoot them. He is burning slightly, but yeah,

it hasn't caught on in the way you had originally hoped. So why don't you roll to shoot another fiery arrow at them wings? All right. Remember, I'm having you take an action to light the arrow. Right. You're like, Dan, you son of a bitch. No, no. It's all right.

That's 18. Sorry. 20. It's definitely, I'm sure, a listener or two who might be like, Dan, you're in this scenario. That's a hit. Shit. Five points.

Okay, we'll roll one d4 for fire damage also. Oh, I don't have my d4. You guys, somebody stole my d4. Can I borrow your d4? You can get it out of there. Thanks, Ken, my real friend. Ooh, this one's like made out of stone. Two points, Dan, my real friend. Ooh, this one's like made out of stone. Two points, Dan,

of fiery damage. Fun. So you, you know, this arrow gets stuck in his armor. The flame does kind of burst out a little bit, so you think you caught some of the furry hide that he's wearing that was hit with oil. It looks, you know, like you're doing it. It just hasn't, only

you know, you've only been in combat for about 15 seconds, so it's hard to feel like you got a good sense on what the total damage is yet. All right. You going to move or anything? I think that's where I'm supposed to be is undercover, right? Does Gus have to do anything?

Gus, I have after Queep next. Queep is up. Can I light one of my crossbow bolts? You may, although I will tell you the same thing that I told Ticta. It takes an action to light it. There might be an ability where you can automatically light it. No, I don't.

Or he's got the bursting arrow, but yeah, I'm having you. Okay, so I will do that and fire my crossbow. Roll to attack. That doesn't look good. Seven, yeah. Seven? No, that's a miss. over his head you move you guys you stand uh over there to the side yeah i'm gonna stay over there okay uh now are you you are you flying or your mini is not we did when we threw the oil on him but i think now we've come back and landed over here okay you and gus so? I think we're up on the roof.

Okay. Cool. Then Gus's turn. I don't know. He can't really do anything attack-wise. He was dumping oil. I would say he's capable of attacking

and he's capable of scouting. Can a capable of scouting and you can spit fire throw it throw it i don't think so the pseudo dragon class has claws and mouth but it did not have fire otherwise i would correct i mean they're called pseudo dragons for a reason they're not like a analog for a large dragon they don't have like a smaller version of everything the big dragons are mostly chromatic, as far as you know. You know, the mutant-looking dragons you've encountered are sort of exceptions to what the natural order of things are for dragons. Pseudo-dragons are more like a magical being that comes from the Feywild

than they are like a dragon you would find on this plane of existence. There's like a marked difference. Yeah, it's not like a real dragon. Wake up. It's true. Although with his tail, he's got a stinger. He's got like a scorpion stinger. Do you want to go give him a little sting, boss? I'll give him a sting. Give him a sting. He won't

soon forget. He threw that in himself. I'll give you such a sting. He'll dive down and have sex with you for six hours. I'm going to aim for his thigh. Okay. Where did you want me to sting him?

Yes, that's the spot. Do it. Boss, it's thigh time. It's high time for thigh time. I think Gus is... Maybe that could be his show after Dick Talk. 11 plus 5 or 4. He's turning to the dark side a little bit. Like Rey.

Oh, he just hits. Romano? See the trailers? No, Rey from Star Wars. That's a three. It's a four. He stings the giant's thigh. I think it's,

they say that it's easier to go to the dark side. I think it's more work because you always's easier to go to the dark side. I think it's more work because you always have to be serious and there's no joy. That's a good point. No. No. So he stings his thigh

for three points of piercing damage. Yeah. Three. And then he is going to have to make a constitution saving throw or he'll become poisoned. The giant. Yeah, do it. And fail throw. He'll become poisoned. The giant. Yeah, do it.

And fail. Oh, he did not fail. He rolled an 18. And then he's got a bonus of something ridiculous. You got a bonus. Yeah, plus five. I got a bonus for justice. But he takes three points of piercing damage.

And Gus says, the stinger has stung. Nice work, boss. And I'm not like a honeybee where it ripped all my guts out when I pulled away. Nope. That's good. Deeply upsetting, Sarah Kassar. No, that was just the sweet heat. Okay, just inhaled the sweet heat in your nasal cavity like we all want.

All right. She knows how bees die. Here come the gazers, you guys. It's gazer o'clock. Everyone's favorite time. So they're going to back up. If you can have both of them, if someone can reach over and have the two guys in his face

just kind of back up, the giant is going to take a swing at them when they do that. They look sort of like water features. So. Hot. Cold. This dead air brought to you by Swarovski Berg Crystals. Hey, Deeperdy!

Swarovski Berg Crystals. All right, so the fist is coming hard at one of these gazers. Gets hit for 14 points of damage. Next time i'm feeling flailing hand me a card you see the red gazer uh explode like a tomato just oh no uh he's i mean you can lay him down i mean he's his guts are still visible um by the giant species trend the other guy however backs up still visible by the giant's fist. The other guy, however, backs up.

That gazer's dead? Yep. Oh. Oh, gazey. Tries to fire an eye ray at the giant and it doesn't work.

Halcine, it's your turn. It's a shame about eye ray. Okay, so I feel like you were definitely trying to tell us that

lightning was not the way to go. I wish we had lemon heads. So the problem is that I could continue to call lightning now that my storm cloud is there, but if it's not doing any damage, I don't want to do that, obviously. Do an insight check. Yeah, I was going to say, does Halcine know what? Yeah, you would definitely be able to piece something together.

I'm going to give you something no matter what I'll tell you. Nine. Okay. With only nine, you don't know how much damage it's doing, but it's doing some, it feels not great. It feels like it's hindered.

Right. You get a strong resistance vibe from it, but not an immunity vibe. Um, okay. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to cast a different spell. Okay. Um,

and that spell, are you dismissing the cloud or are you just going to leave it there for good old-fashioned purposes? I think I can't... If I can leave it there, I will, I guess. Okay, yeah. In case we need it, because it's... Well, right now, there has been flying over his head.

Right now, these guys are parked on the other end of the balcony, but they might fly up again, so... Reminding you the air above his head is in play in some ways. Yes. Okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to cast Shatter.

Should do. And I'm going to cast it at a third level oh and this is a dex to dodge right um let's see um constitution saving throw oh shit um but also um creature this is why i was asking but a creature made of inorganic material such as stone crystal crystal, or metal has disadvantage on the saving throw. Nah, he's organic. You're organic. Oh, thank you. You're welcome. Cost more. Okay, let's do it then. See if his constitution saving throw happens. Oh, you are so

lucky. You got a nine. Okay, well, he still would have taken damage even if he had gotten it. Well, right, but he would have halved, right? Yes. Let's third level this up. So that's 48. I say you get lucky.

He's got really good bonuses to a couple of his stats. 18 points of damage. Thunder damage. So you rock him with this shatter spell. How many points? 18. Wow. Cool. That brings us to the giant.

All right. Will you roll a spell attack to try to keep him, Dr. Ued, while he's going to roll a strength check? Yeah, why not? Oh, shit. This is not looking good for you. I rolled an 18. So did he.

He has a plus six. What do you got? What am I adding to this? Spell attack bonus. My spell attack bonus, which is a six. Yay. So what's your number? 24.

Yeah, he rolled a 24 also. What is... You know what it is? I think we're at a stalemate. I think Rhodes gets to decide. That's probably what it says. I think it's dance-off, right? This is one of those things that's definitely...

It's actually dance-off, dance-off. There's definitely a rule for this. And I think the way I'm going to do it is just uh roll a 1d4 we're both gonna we're gonna just have a four off there's gonna be a four off four you're on a four i also like in a way he pointed to it uh all right fuck it roll a 20 roll 20 fuck it maybe we should go to the Electoral College. He rolled a three. Never again. Twelve. Everyone's traumatized.

He thrashes incredibly violently. You are barely holding on. That was so exciting. Yeah, I was just basically like, what would be a better dice to have a showdown with the third time around? But he's, yeah, I mean, it was close it was close he's very strong um up next we have uh him he's gonna try something that was close

check out my sound cloud He wails a leg at you, Dr. Ewitt and Mrs. Wails a leg? Like he flails a leg, I guess is a better way to put it. He's trying to wail on him. Yeah, he kicks. Is that what it's called? We call it kick. Leg attack?

He issues a leg attack. I see how well you did so well in soccer when you were flailing your legs. Like a dastardly foot pinch. Now, that was my favorite soccer. You keep your shop talk in the shop there, Rocketti. I made that other team real scared of me

when I would just lay on my back and kick my legs around real hard. They would be like, whoa, that guy's crazy. He's too good at crab soccer. The gazer in the back is trying to attack and he didn't roll. So here comes the Gazer.

Gazer in the back is trying to attack. Final two ballroom blitz. Ballroom blitz. Yeah. So the giant is now freaking the fuck out. He's getting hit with rays. His damage has been pretty significant regardless of his resistances.

You've got a couple rounds of him just trapped here. Things are definitely starting to feel like they're going in your favor. He looks at the camera and he says, and he thinks she's the passionate one. Oh, yeah. That was the bass player, actually. Really?

Yeah. He's a different guy. Different guy starts. Not when Crocus covered it. Darkthor's up. Rhymes with Rocus. Use some of your piratey wiles on him. Well, I was thinking of pulling out my loot and casting darkness on his face.

You can do that. Yeah, that's what I do. Okay. I truly love that this is your signature move. Darkness on people's faces. But with the guitar. And you're aiming in the door a little bit where his head is. Yeah, right.

In his fucking face. So you're mostly going inside. You won't be able to see. Yeah. Okay. Fun. Dr. Uw. So you're mostly going inside. So he won't be able to see. Yeah. Okay. Fun. Dr. Uwud, you're up. A big old giant leg wailed at you?

And it missed me, right? Correct. Now it's got to kiss you. He's panicked. I mean, he's like, he looks like he has had multiple things cast on him in fact while you are figuring out what you're going to do I think I might owe him a couple of rings here let's see if I can dig out

oh yeah those I've got one on him for restrained hey Blaine yeah got any hints of what you might do oh me? yeah it's your turn Dr. Wood I'm going to just do another thwack with the quarterstaff. Awesome.

Because I don't want to... Do you want to do nuts? Yeah, just another nut shot. Look to see if they're crystals again. Just keep looking. I think I just did a natural 20 on his nuts. I love it. I love it.

Oh, my God. So that's a D6. Put that on Brian for me, will you? That's a six. So that's 12. 12 points of testicular damage. This is sour. Sour.

Put this on the giant also. You son of a bitch. Brian did not like that at all. You just stabbed me with your... Is that a poison ring? Am I dying now? Let me hold it up. Guxon is going to run at him and try to bite his face.

Guxon's going to bite him? Yeah. I thought he was a fraidy cat. He feels emboldened by the way things are going. At this point, the guy's like... I love it. He does miss, so he just kind of gnashes it so if someone can scoot him and tip over

the red guy, he's dead. That will be his turn. Face off. We now have TikTok. Would my force, my bursting arrow, would that have the similar effect as shooting a fire arrow? I'd have to look it up or read the flavor test.

Immediately the arrow hits a creature at the target and all creatures within take 2d6 of force damage. Would that help with the fire, do I think? No, I don't think you would think. All right, will uh shoot another are we anywhere closer to getting this thing guy on fire insight check uh 11 the the wings are beating slower there's a chance the fire could take but it might still take a few seconds i'm gonna shoot my fire arrow at this guy.

Oh, good. 23. All right, that's a hit. So seven piercing and one fire. I am looking for a really big fire roll to make the explosion happen. So yeah, you'd nail him with this arrow and for some reason he seems slower this time. So you get him under the arm and it looks like you really

hit a nerve or something. His body shakes for a second and it's almost like he's having a hard time. Maybe he's got like a pimple in his armpit. That's so sensitive. Oh my gosh. And you're wearing a backpack. Queep you up. Onceep, you're up. Once again, I'm going to light a

bolt and fire my crossbow. Roll to attack. Here's a different 20-sided this time because that one just stinks. Oh my god. Nope. Woof. Alright.

It's because you're far away. Yeah, of course. That's why. It's Gus's turn. Go Gus. Gus, sting him. I'm going to sting him in the nuts. Okay. That's a hit.

That's a hit. Are you a seal that's been injured in an accident? I can get you a bucket of fish. You swallow one of them little blowy horn things that get lodged in your throat? I'll get you a bucket of fish. Call me Mr. Drippy.

I'm a seal lawyer. If you need a bucket of fish and you've been injured, you're a seal, call me up. Dr. Drippy, seal lawyer. Get you a bucket of fish. You've been injured. You're a seal. Call me up. Dr. Drippy, seal lawyer. Gets you a bucket of fish. Hey, Dr. Uid, you see Gus the pseudodragon fly right near you, near those balls,

and he plants his stinger deep in the undercarriage beneath the loincloth. Oh, God, really? You hear an otherworldly howl come from inside maria bamford uh recorder i know that shot voice i i like i like her too much i did not ask her to record a giant uh wine for being stung what is it with giant genitals on this program

what is it with giant genitals on this program we have a long history of so tracing yeah like people you should put this on him too what's that i mean he at this point has a couple of status effects uh wait he's not frightened is he yeah he is he is frightened stung on the nuts restrained he is he is looking really shitty. This is ridiculous. Is he neutered? He looks like a Christmas tree, you guys. It's really putting me in a holiday mood. I won't be happy until he's on fire.

One of the remaining gazers flies away. Oh. Halcine, you're up. All right. That blue guy is now gone. Does he have oil glistening on his wings? Yes. Okay, so I am going to try then to use my storm cloud to do the lightning again.

Not to try to do the lightning damage, but to try to set them on fire with a lightning strike. Yes. Because that's a thing that happens. Yes. So I'm going to go ahead and call lightning. Okay. Is that a de deck saving throw? That is a deck saving throw.

Yeah. Uh, that is a fail. Okay. So he's going to take, so I don't damage wise. I don't know, but I'm hoping it's going to catch on fire. But so that's 18 points more, 18 more of damage holy shit all right uh but i was aiming for the wings so that yeah at this point that you land right on his wings and you just see some like sparks and flames shoot up for a second and after a half a second you just see this. Yes. And not just his wings, but his back and most of his furry cloak are now ablaze.

Is this like when Redford knocks the baseball into the lights in the natural? Like everything explodes. Oh, there's magic in the world. Darg, three are up. I'm running in, and I'm going to start hacking and slashing. Two-arm strike at him. All right. That is nuts.

Roll to attack. It will at whatever I can get to. You can get to nuts or legs. Legs. Legs and nuts. Nuts or legs. I thought there was more of a thigh nut man, really. Please don't speak for me.

Fancy mix. KFC is going to be fun with you guys. You know what i love when it's really hot and i'm thirsty pecans i call them peckins that wasn't even close wow just like they're just so refreshing big mouthful pecans like after a big hike oh yeah yeah uh you and i like to do after a big hike? Just get one of those whole loaves of sourdough bread and just eat dry. Just like scarf it down. Sounds good for mopping up the street.

Roll to attack, Brian. After I do like Fryman Canyon and get like four miles in, I'll eat like three pixie sticks. Just slam them in the parking lot with my shirt off and I'll scream fuck you well nobody goes there with their shirt on don't you choke for like 10 minutes just it was hard for me to scream oh what about spicy pixie sticks that would be a mistake yeah what was they? To swing your sword, you nerd.

You know what I like after a big hike? What's that? Brie. Oh, man. So good. Filling. 15 on one. That is a hit, yeah. Man, now I really want some brie brie and pecans

together mmm finally to great taste taste great together so six piercing damage on that okay and... I got some piercing damage when I sat too close to the ams at the John Tesh recital. 18 on the longsword? 18 on the longsword? Yeah.

Maybe I should have gone with Andreas Wollenweider. Yeah, I mean, you have to... Andreas W... Wait, hold on. Take the windscreen off. Andreas Wollenweider.

Another eight. Okay. What's happening over here? He's trying to hurt everyone. Okay. So I want to make sure I got the pronunciation of Andreas Wollenweider.

He's starting to get very limp under your attacks, Darkthor. It's looking pretty good. He's really the best word. He's falling romantically. The pendulum swings weaker after your attacks. Dr. Uyghur, weaker after your attacks. Dr.

Uyghur, it is your turn. I'm still holding him, right? I'm going to do another... Well, no, you tell me. It's a choice. You can let the doors go. He's kind of effed up. No, no, no. We should... Who? Who? Who? Dan was like the evil demon

on your shoulder for a second. Yeah, let him go. 17. Let's see what happens. 17 with the quarterstaff. I got five. Makes a little thuck noise as you swack him in the nard. Does he have any sort of flammable stuff on him?

Yes. I mean, his wings are lit. He's on fire. It's above you. It's like 10 feet above you. You just see the fire building. There's no oil down here at taint level. Okay. You can oil his taint if you want. Tainted oil.

It's not my birthday. That's my autobiography title. There's no oil down here at taint level. Taint oil finds its own level. Started down here at taint level. Taint oil finds its own level. Started down here at taint level. Now we're oiled. Taint oil or taint water? Yep, you smack him. Damage done.

Guxon's going to try and bite him. Yeah. Misses. Oh, no. Big old clamp down on his arm Yeah Does a bunch of damage Really? Yeah

Alright, TikTok, you're up Yeah, I mean, there's just flame billowing You just see everybody's gathering Round the nards like a maypole And just giving swings Alright, I mean, I could I can swing an axe at a nard or two. That's what they say about you.

How do you think this whole thing got started? Can I get that far? Interesting you should say that. I'm going to make you do a athletics check if you want to try to get around. Is this literally the edge? What is dick? Dick's chair.

Pretty close. Yeah, I mean, it's... Stupid minds think alike. There's room to maneuver, but even in his weakened stunned state, it's a lot of body to try to get around. I feel like I would know that this is just a half. So I'll just hop up there and shoot my arrow.

Okay. Just regular. I don't think we've ever high fived on the show. That's it. It took Dick's check to get us to high five. First one's 11. It's a miss. 19. It's a miss. 19.

It's a hit. All your damage. 2d8. 6 and 4 is 10. And I'm going to turn this one into a bursting and just do force damage on it. OK. So it's 10 and then another 10 of bursting damage. So 10 piercing, 10 bursting.

and then another 10 of bursting damage. So 10 piercing, 10 bursting. And so also some Ellen burst and damage. As you collide with him, I mean, blood sprays down on you guys below. Nut blood? No, he's not aiming for... They're called pecans. He can't get to the nuts with his arrow.

Range attack, he can't really get nuts. You can get his thigh if you want. Wait till my next turn. I'll show you some nut blood. This episode is going to need a content, like a special nut content. A little explicit, yeah. Only for dum-dums.

You're allergic to nut talk. Sam, after we're done recording, I'm going to record a little disclaimer. You can't fly in a plane when listening record a little disclaimer warning this episode may contain oh I'm not recording oh this is all just gonna go down the toilet see cause nut allergies if anybody on the plane I'm gonna bleed his nuts with my

battle axe bring your battle axe within nut proximity please oh my god heading over Brian your elbow 15 that's a hit it's just table right goodness yes you gotta start using a plate for your butter 11. And I'm going to try it again.

Okay. Get him! He's looking so rough right now. Are his nuts bleeding? His nuts are bleeding. He's just kind of way running back and forth. That's an 8. To attack? I mean, aren't they off at this point?

You can roll with advantage. He's barely moving and he's restrained in front of you. Maybe they're like streamers? His nuts? Too bad. Too enthusiastic. I've been chopping at them. I am showering myself in his nuts.

Did you guys hear that? She said, what if his nuts are like streamers? That's horrible. That's not as bad as the nut. No, I mean, with Queep's last successful attack, it just kind of flew. You saw a chunk of meat fly in the distance and the vast difference ran behind it.

I'm going to cook that one. Gus's turn. Stay away from his nuts, Gus. I mean, sting him. There's nothing left over there. Just go for his nipples now. Just cut them off. Will you do me a favor?

Yes. Will you roll a 100 for Gus? Uh-oh. Nipples and nuts. Yeah, there's not much target left. I'm going to get me some nipples. He misses and he kind of goes and he he just misjudges and he goes

flying like 30 feet in the wrong direction. All right, boss. Well, I don't know if you guys know, but rooms fall off a car. How senior I call lightning. Okay, down on us for all that we have brought here today. No, on this guy. On his wings.

Roll to attack. I'm outside. Presumably the current will travel through his body and reach... Come out his nuts. He rolls his nuts. He fails his dex check. Those nuts are going to take some damage. But I thought you wanted it more on his nipples

then you want to burn his nipples now i was just suggesting things for you guys who seem to really be zeroing in on this next for the sake of this giant who i just felt like maybe let's just focus on another hill and mix it up i'm outside with his wings

so that's 11 points of damage I'm outside with his wings. That's 11 points of damage. So you see this lightning bolt slam again into him. Ideally, if you could have a special cinematic effect happen here, Sarah, to vanquish this giant. Is there any sauce you'd like to throw on the grill? Yeah, I guess the lightning would go into his wings,

making them shoot up into a beautiful kind of butterfly effect. Fan out, kind of. Like fan out, yeah, like fireworks. And then that would travel through his body and then create, like make his nuts like sparklers. The pain of that as like, he's just, he would just like fall to the ground and like a beautiful glittering kind of like, like the finale, like. finale like as all his many body parts

explode outwards with a collision of lightning I am going to need this would happen regardless of you saying him falling to the ground I'm going to need a dark sir you didn't move your mini but if you want to scoot him over there for accuracy's sake and doctor it would all to do

a dexterity saving throw, please. Oh, gosh. Yes. What's a yes sound like number-wise? 16. Okay. 19. Okay.

I, too, got a 16. Great. You all managed to skip to the side as this giant loses whatever momentum he had left in his body after his many body parts exploded out like so many celebratory fireworks. He just drops to a knee and he's very limp. It looks like Dr. Uwitz holding the stone doors are one of the only things keeping him from tumbling backwards down the cliff. Let go of the doors. Yeah, I'm going to open the doors. You just want to back up first? So no errant hand grabs

take somebody flying? Yeah, so it's not like one of those Yukon Cornelius things. So you all back up? Or die hard. Yeah, everybody back the hell up. As soon as you release the doors, his head and arm go kind of like yank out, and he flies backwards, limp, collides with the ground,

and it makes a horribly loud bang as the rock caves in a little bit. There is clearly a cave right under the bottom of this cliff, and his body is just splayed out. It's still on fire, too, even though he fell 24 stories down. He's a burning wreck. He's all hacked up. He's got giant bite marks

all over him. He's got burn marks all over him. He was utterly destroyed by you guys. We are covered in nuts. It's good for the skin, good for the pores. destroyed by you guys. We are covered in nuts. Yeah. You know, it's good for the skin, good for the pores.

So I'm going to walk over and I'm going to look down at his body. I'm going to say, close the doors. I'm not paying to heat the whole goddamn valley. And I'm going to close the doors.

Yeah, you guys have taken him out. Nice. Things are about as quiet as they've ever been um let's let's rocky talky the um the archmage talky yet and let him know that the giant is dead okay shouldn't we it wasn't your turn to giant's dead over a couple of rules um first of all blaine stop yelling into the fucking microphone i'm only so weak roger jesus christ hal seen is the one attuned so she has to do it and you have 25 words per day that you can do and he can do then you go into roaming maybe we don't want to tell him

we now learned that he was kind of he kind of turned this guy into an undead right let's ask him our beholder friend what he thinks we should do okay are you gonna go kind of turned this guy into an undead, right? Let's ask our beholder friend what he thinks we should do. Are you going to go kind of inside? Yeah, you can come around. Perhaps we should have a celebratory ale. Yeah, you fucking nuked that giant. Or a hoo-ha. Get a picture of him with all the status effects.

You had him so bejeweled with negative status effects. He was... Your trap was well laid, you guys. Somebody put their nuts on him. Yeah, someone take the five hours it takes to descend this place and go just descend your balls on his face. So you go talk to Guxan, and Guxan congratulates you. He thanks you.

He still doesn't seem to have a lot of pride or excitement in a real sense because he's kind of this horrible thing. Goksan. Yeah. There may be actually some good to come of this. Do you know of any other druids assigned to guard the other druidic artifacts? How might we track them down? I'll try to remember.

Yeah, I remember some of them. There's at least one that might be alive. I think the rest may not be guarding their former totems, though. Some of the artifacts have been lost to the evil. They're not all protected by people like me who remember what they

mean. Some have guardians, some are just lost to the world. For instance, there's one in Pakanon's Paradise protected by just lost to the world. Yes, for instance, there's one in Pakhanan's paradise protected by the leader of the giants. He has one. There's another in a cave along the ocean to the northwest.

So do we think of, I mean, does he think, I know the Archmage did him wrong or whatever, does he think the Archmage, if we helped gather all these these things would the archmage help to defeat the tenebrous one or does he think the archmage is like a lost cause in terms of you know you ask him and he's he seems conflicted he's like well who's even trying to defeat the tenebrous one oh we are the ice five oh oh the ice five it sounds maybe it's like he did a gust noise again um that's just dan but you know he he's he says he's he gives it 50 50 odds it's worth associating with an evil man like that to stop the tenebrous one um but what little he knows about the tenebrous one he does think he could perhaps be worse than the Archmage.

Well, yeah, I mean, he ruined the world, right? He orchestrated the end of the world for sure. You know, he does tell you a few more things about when it asks, but why don't you go ahead and do a persuasion check to see what you can get out of him? Because he's a bit spacey since being cursed into his state. That was cocked.

Oh, okay. Chris is looking out for you. I really thought it was cocked. I'll take it if you'll take it. It was a little bit. So that was a 23. Oh, really? Okay, so he tells you...

Oh, I also have proficiency, so you would have let me roll it twice anyway. Well, there we go then. On persuasion. And you're adding your proficiency bonus. Yes. All right, so he tells you the trick

that you haven't heard yet is he's not sure the Tenebrous one is exactly a wizard, like the Archmage. He prefers to when he talks about the tenebrous one he doesn't have a lot of specifics but he does seem to refer to him more as like a shadowy being that lives within the mountain as opposed to like a wizard perhaps a being from another plane like what we've heard of yeah absolutely oh maybe you have to violet fang what Yeah, absolutely. Oh, maybe. The violet fang, what is that?

Oh, boy. There's a lot. All right. There's, I believe, he tells the other artifacts, yeah. So there is, that he knows of, three places where there is an artifact. There is what may be a druid in Donkey Land protecting an artifact.

There is a cave to the northwest. At the ocean? At the ocean, yeah. Near where the comet hit, he tells you. Along the coast, there is a cave. But some evil creature took hold of the artifact. Wait, is this the one that we already dealt with? The shard?

You guys want to throw that Thursday? Is that what it figures? of the artifact. Wait, is this the one that we already dealt with? The shard? You guys want to throw back Thursday and Batman figures? Is that the shard one that we already got? Do an insight check, Sarah. Night Hunter, Batman figure. That's fair. 13

plus 16. So, you take out your map and he does seem to point in a very similar direction. Guys, so I think that was the one that we already just gave to the mind flayer. Do you tell him what it was you gave?

No, no, I was just reminding everybody else that I think that the artifact that we already got that artifact. But you don't tell Guxan specifically? I don't think so. No. Okay. So you're not comparing information.

You're kind of just trying to see what you can get out of it. Well, I feel a bit confused and conflicted about what. So if we gather all of these things, then what happens? Do we get points? Well, you might have enough power to fight the Tenebrous one Right. There's a chance you could send him back to his

dimension for instance. Okay. These things have a variety of powers when they are together. And you also said They all come from ancient beings that died long ago. And what if something had happened to one of them? What if something like it broke yeah well i suppose it would be possibly repairable or maybe even what was left of it might work depending on what had been done to it. What if?

Cool. You said that if a magical item came into proximity, it might amplify that item? Yeah, that's right. So does that mean because the doctor's attuned to that one, it would not work with that? No, it'd still work. Yeah, yeah. He's powerful if he's attuned to that thing.

Better watch out. Got that right. Bring the quill close. Oh, that's an interesting idea. Bring the quill over there? If I bring, I produce the quill. Okay. On a piece of paper and in proximity to that thing.

Does anything change? Do I feel anything? Do an insight check. Shit. I rolled a seven. It's a nine. You know, the pen does get a little warm. That's all you really

notice. Maybe if Dr. Ud tries to write with it. Dr. Ud, would you like to say hello to the Baron? Ask him a question, perhaps perhaps i'd love to uh dear penthouse forum do an arcana check course uh 10. the the quill feels a little shaky in your hand. It's hard to get it to do anything. It's warm.

It's warm in your hand, and it's shaky. Warm and shaky in my hand. Yep, it's not doing anything that you can really notice. I'll try again another time. Okay. Well, Guxan encourages you to get the dragon eye out of here before reinforcements come. What's that mean?

Who's coming? Well, the door to the land of the giants is nearby. I would be very careful. They could show up here in brute force to check on Hag. Okay, so let's check in with the Archmage, right? Hang on. The door to the land of the giants? Yes. What's that mean?

Well, it's been years since they've used it, but there's a door up there in the clouds on the top of the mountain that the giants come in and out of. It's some sort of temporal door that goes to another continent. That's cool. Oh, you didn't ask me about that.

But let's tell the Archmage and then see what he says. A lot of stuff he didn't ask you about that you should tell us about. Let's be like Giant Dead, stop. Could not find your jaw, stop. What should we do? Yeah, where next? Yeah, what's next? Is that what you say? Does that sound good?

Giant Dead could not find your jaw You've got more than 10 words left 25 a day, right? Or 25 each time You can use it once a day for up to 25 words Where should we go next? Okay

You asshole Hope you're well tell them Guxon's still here love the fucking ice five there's a pause and then you hear

you see they're typing just the three dots his familiar voice says and then it goes away like and then it comes back And then you hear his... You see they're typing just the three dots. His familiar voice says... Then it goes away. Like, ah, and then it comes back. He says, I'm glad to hear from you. I've been gone for much longer than you have seen me. I've been on a trip.

Bring it back. Bring it back. Bring it back. Now, he did tell you if you want to see him again, look between the mountains to the east at nighttime for a ghostly flame. So that is what you would assume he is referring to, to come bring the petrified dragons. Gakuzon.

Yeah. What would you say if you could talk to the Archmage of Vengeval bring the petrified dragons back in. Goxon. Yeah? What would you say if you could talk to the Archmage of Vandervale in person? If you could talk to the Archmage. Or what would you do? Your watch has ended. You can come with us now. Come with you? Well, you know, you can go wherever you want. I'm just saying if you want to go talk to the Archmage and be like

you know, what the fuck, but then also you can go, you know. Oh, yeah. Open up your craft store or whatever. Yeah, I always wanted to open up an Etsy shop where I sell my little hand-knit pillows. You know, he might be able to be persuaded. Why don't you give it a shot?

I mean, I don't know that I want to persuade him. Okay, well then, don't roll if you don't want to try. I just was encouraging him to live his best life now that he doesn't have to watch this thing anymore. When you encourage him, he says he is going to try and find his own way if given the opportunity, but he will not stay here. Can we help you with anything before you go or we go?

Kill the Archmage. On the list. Is it? I think it has to be. Remember all those horrible piles? Remember that? We never figured out. You're very fixated on this dirty pile.

On the what? The dirty pile of robes. Remember he had all those filthy piles of robes from all the people he disintegrated? Do you want to ask before Guxan floats into this? Yeah. We didn't know that he was disintegrating them. Hey, Guxan, is he the people he disintegrated? Do you want to ask, before Guxan floats into this? Yeah. We didn't know that he was disintegrating them. Hey, Guxan, is he turning people into

dirty piles? Dirty piles again. You get it. You ask him about that. And he says, wow, he does have his ritual. He would go to Wexhall and he would convince people there was some sort of

magic vacation he would send them on. But what he would really do is turn them into zombies with limited magical powers. And he would dress them in different robes for the ritual. Oh, what a creep. And then what, just like teleport them some other place? Yeah, he had a wagon outside of town and he would fill them dead and desiccated and then what does he do with them and none of these towns he trains them in limited magic and he uses them as his acolytes they they travel far and wide oh god but nobody's noticed that every time he comes to

town people are missing the whole life you would remember that was a whole part of the adventure when you're in wex hall where you did they were promised they were being like teleported to a magical place we didn't believe him but then we sort of believed him and then he was a dick and then it was like well now we don't know exactly you can confirm that that was a the wex hall game is a lie okay all right well that's good to know we'll have to decide what to do i unfortunately found out about this too late he told me what he was doing to make me immortal was what he did for the people of wexhall and i was like oh so you're helping me out and i i put two and two together i asked him about it and he very condescendingly told me because at that point i was a lost cause and he thought he lost nothing by telling me he floats down

a stairwell he kind of just goes into the darkness you're not sure exactly what he's doing but he leaves you should we follow I think maybe he needs space we want the eye though right yeah we gotta take that eye but I don't now it doesn't seem

like we should bring it to the Archmage. You've got a strong vibe that maybe giving it to the Archmage would have negative consequences. For sure. Let's not do it. No, we have to go get these artifacts for ourselves. Yeah, but we can't lug this around with us everywhere. What are we going to do with it?

Destroy it. Well, for the time being, we're going to have to lug it around until somebody gets... Maybe some magic people should think about some shrinky powers. Hey, how about we put it... Remember we have a boat? Yeah. Let's go put it on the boat.

Remember Timeboat? Yeah. Perhaps next episode, we will go find ye olde Timeboat. In the meantime, hey, Sam. Hi, guys. What do you think we did today? Well, in episode 35, we started our game bright-eyed and flat-penis. Have we always had an eyeball on our team?

Sarah rolled a saving throw that, as I understand it, comes from the Constitution. Crocus was a Swedish metal band formed in 1975. Gus seems fired up. Andrea Wollenweider was a Swedish harpist. Yeah, he was. We're all attacking giant nuts. Sarah called lightning down and it was beautiful. Everything seems to lead back to the Tenebrous one,

and we're bringing some dragons to a flame in the mountains or an arch major wizard. I don't know this episode beat me. There was just a lot of nut crushing so much so much nut splosions nut chopping pecans at one point there were nut fireworks yeah it was it was great uh hey i'm going on the road at the end of october you can see me in the pacific northwest i'm trying to get some other dates but right now i am at uh laughs seattle on october 24th with my pals Liz Royce, Taylor Lux, Jake Grafstein, and Derek Sheen is going to be at that show.
