And Invisicaroline, wah, wah, wah wah good teeth never seem so good dan it's time to talk about what happened the last time on smooth nerd poker Smooth nerds doing smooth rolls against a real sensual lich. You guys have done a fair bit of damage, tore out some of Alex's butthole.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Good job, Brian. Yeah, of course. Good job with the critical butthole hit. I mean, you sound very proud. Thank you, sarah for making fun of orcus that seemed to go well ken relayed that over text message to sarah and she called orcus a dweeb so she's still here in spirit calling orcus a dweeb and up next in the turn order is fizzbort who's gonna'm going to have him roll a con.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Just try to wake up. He's going to stay unconscious on Forge. And up next is Winifred. That last mockery went pretty well. That last mockery went pretty well. And so I think she is looking at like what she's really got going on. There's no like
Starting point is 00:06:37 she doesn't have like a crossbow or bow. The spells are getting low, so I'm trying to like think, think okay how do i not use all of our missing players stuff i think she's gonna mock him again i think that would make sense and so um trying to think of a good orcus insult anybody want to step in with an orcus insult for winifred for Winifred. Hey, nice tail. What are you? A 2018 Honda Civic?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Nice. That's pretty good. That's the ugliest car ever made, by the way. Yep. You can also use Subaru Brat. Oh, he rolled a 20 this time. So he says, who even drives a Honda anymore?
Starting point is 00:07:34 Yeah, it's not funny. Not a great save, but he saves. And then she is going to back up just a little more. Because Orcus has been advancing, but not too much is needed for her to find cover. Then we're going to bring it down to Queeps. Yeah, well...
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah, well, uh... Quick reminder, you were talking about how nice it might be if Orc... Orc-y was flanked. And that is an option from last episode that had come up. So if I go, like, here? Is that flanking? You gotta be right up against him to flank him. I don't wanna be against him. Uh, you know what? You cannot flank from a distance. It's only a melee effect anyway.
Starting point is 00:08:28 All right. I'm... But if you went just... If you got it closer... I'm good. Blade of Kukla! All right. And that is a
Starting point is 00:08:46 plus 3 to this on top so that's 26 that's a hit you need a 17 to hit Orcus that is 9 and then I'm going to do another. That is a nine to hit.
Starting point is 00:09:15 That is a miss, unfortunately. Floof. Oh, floof. I'm going to run my beak through my feathers. Okay. It's preen a little bit as a bonus action you preen Gus is up and he is going to hide
Starting point is 00:09:33 completely behind this table where Winifred is he's just going to do a little army crawl I don't like how close the guy was getting to me and then we're gonna come to Ronnie
Starting point is 00:09:47 Vecna flew away from you and that's when the butthole rip happened he is now about 25 feet away from you flying also Orcus feet away from you, flying. Oh, okay. Also, Orcus,
Starting point is 00:10:10 which you have not personally attacked yet, 40 feet away from where you're at. Okay. I'm going to fire a dart. Okay. At Valix? Yeah. Do I keep accidentally
Starting point is 00:10:24 almost calling Vecna? Very silly. It's just an eight. Sadly, that is a net. Also, sadly, that looks like you just rolled a botch, sir. Well, no. Well, you rolled a botch, sir. Well, no. Well, you rolled a one.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Yeah, but it's a eight because it's not a one. You know, every botch we've ever rolled, we just set aside the plus to it, right? Now I know. I know. OK, please roll a D100, sir. Oh. Four. Oh, okay. So that's just a miss. That's not gonna land in Queep's eyeball or something like that.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Oh, shit. Again. That other one was high. 98 and a 4. Or 99. I got a 99. Oh, you rolled 2? No, last time. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Sorry. Misunderstood. Do you remember the whole butthole rip? No, last time. Oh, that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. Misunderstood. Remember the whole butthole rip? No, I remember. I didn't know we were going back in time. Well, let's see. I got to look at your sheet. I think it's more than one.
Starting point is 00:11:57 So I think you get to do two darts. Yeah. Hi, gang. Engineer Sam here. The next five minutes of audio were lost brian's audio recording went down during the zoom and then my zoom went down uh so there's a small gap in audio that you're missing right now all you need to know is that uh brian rolled and rolled poorly and threw a dart and it hit blaine and now we're back okay so that'll do it uh for your turn brian unless there's a bonus action or movement you'd
Starting point is 00:12:28 like oh geez louise gonna be like that that's a new face too i know quizzical posade all right so is up. With quizzical action. All right. He is going to... He raises both his hands and disappears. What? Who does that? Valak's.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Son of a... Who does that? Valix. Son of a... And red lightning starts flashing out of the cyclone in the center of the room. Can I get a dexterity saving throw from Dr. Uid, Kweep, and Ronnie? Yay. Also, sailors take warning. 14 plus 3, all right four plus two equals six yuck what did you get Brian 13 okay so
Starting point is 00:13:47 So, Dr. Uy, you managed to sort of dance out of the way of a bolt, right? As it flies at you. But Queep and Ronnie, you are both going to get zapped by Willie Ames and Scott Baio. Let's take a look at that clip. My bra. 14 points of lightning damage. Ouch. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:14:12 14 lightning damage. 14 lightning damage. And as you get hit, you notice the lightning continues to arc off of you like a tether leading to the cyclone. Hmm. That's probably not. And this electric sort of thread seems to be pulling at you towards the cyclone. Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson. Shit. Is it too late to use a lock point and re-roll? Uh, no, it's not.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Alright, then. Let's try that again, baby. Oh, fucking hell. That was a botch. Um, okay. Well, I'm not gonna make you take a penalty for that, but I'm gonna do one more oh
Starting point is 00:15:06 god damn it thank you for jack wearing 11 fuck it i give up oh you really tried to try to unwill that out of existence yeah but will this out of existence but uh my sympathies and now now to Hashinka. All right, now I got my damage. We're all good. We are all good. Everything's fine. This is fine.
Starting point is 00:15:33 She's going to get off another hit. It's going to do... Oh, boy. Not as much as it could have. 13 points piercing damage to Orcus. I keep using a silly tool okay so next in the turn order orcus he is going to wheel around he's getting tired of getting hit with bolts from hashinka And so he is going to...
Starting point is 00:16:08 Oh no, yeah, he would do this. Okay. So I'm going to roll... That's right, Duncan. There's birds outside. Duncan would like me to let him outside so he can murder the local wildlife. And he's upset that I'm not letting him go outside and kill birds, so he is trying to knock my coffee over.
Starting point is 00:16:29 He's trying to get my attention because when I don't give him what he wants, he goes, oh, you're not paying attention, so I will destroy some things. So, okay. For a strange moment, you guys all hear a whoosh a strange a strange moment
Starting point is 00:16:46 you guys all hear a whoosh and Orcus also disappears hmm I don't like this disappearing villain thing um and he reappears right back
Starting point is 00:17:03 where he was snickering he reappears right back where he was. Snickering. And can everybody roll a perception check? Yeah. Why certainly? 14 plus 4, 18.
Starting point is 00:17:23 7. Oh no. 11. Oh, no. Eleven. What you got there, Brian? 22. All right. Well, Ronnie. I bet you Winifred will see him.
Starting point is 00:17:37 That's right. I got to roll for Winifred. Thank you for reminding me. I need health in a minute, too, fellas. Winifred's gonna roll for hers I mean we already got really good rolls from Ronnie and
Starting point is 00:17:52 Dr. Ued yeah she does not see this right away but get kind of unnerved Ronnie and Dr. Ued when he starts laughing and you look around and you see Hoshinka is spread across one of the tables and soaked in blood and unconscious. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And then where is Orcus now on the map? You said he disappeared. He disappeared and reappeared right where he was. He did. So can I get blank? Oh, can I get an insight check from Ronnie and Dr. Uid insight 15 and eight 23. Okay. Uh,
Starting point is 00:18:36 I rolled a 15 also, but a three 18 is my total. Ronnie, you have read about this in a book at your temple and Dr. Uyghur, you heard about this spell at Half-Elf University. Yeah, he cast Time Stop, you think, and went over there
Starting point is 00:18:54 and just slaughtered Hashinka while time was not moving for you. Like dead. It's rough. I mean, you haven't gotten close enough to really... You got a really good perception check, but right now, Hoshinka is 25 feet from Rani,
Starting point is 00:19:14 40 feet from Dr. Uid, 35 from Kweep. She's far enough away and up on the riser, so it's hard to see her very well. She's far enough away and up on the riser. So it's hard to see her very well. I would say most of you just see some bloody boots hanging off of this gold table, just kind of dripping with blood. Yeah. And so there's that.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Dr. Uid, you're up. I guess I'm just going to keep my moonbeam going on Orcus. Okay, I'll try to get a couple more. Well, he did end his turn in the moonbeam, so please roll that moonbeam damage. Six, uh, 13. All right. And pleased with your turn now. I'm going to...
Starting point is 00:20:14 I'm going to keep moving. I'm going to move, I guess, up towards Ronnie a little bit. Kind of up here, but I'm going to keep the moonbeam on Orcus. See if I can get another Okay. Another 2d10 on him. I don't think you can
Starting point is 00:20:36 do more damage with the moon beam, right? How does that work? So like Oh, was that damage for this turn or the last turn? I think I fucked it up, but nothing changes. On each of your turns after you've cast it, you can use an action to move it 60 feet in any direction. And then at the start of his turn...
Starting point is 00:21:02 and then at the start of his turn when he enters it for the first time on a turn or starts his turn there, he gets hit again. So he got hit. That's what you rolled. He does not get hit again during your turn. Okay. But that doesn't mean you can't take another action right now. Okay, I'm just gonna uh i'm just gonna keep moving i'm just getting i haven't really taken an action yet i mean you can
Starting point is 00:21:30 if you haven't used your action there's a couple of things you can do um you know ronnie is tethered with that red lightning to the cyclone. So, you know what? Can I do this? Can I swing the moonbeam into the cyclone and see if I can kind of cross the beams and disrupt it a little bit? Yeah, roll an Arcana check. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:22:01 One. Plus three is four. That's a good art count of check. You bring the moonbeam into the cyclone, and there is a flash of white for a moment, and your moonbeam is gone. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:18 It ate it. That's just because he got a one. That ate it faster and in 50 cents in a Dragon's Land machine. It was a nice try. I love the creativity of it, but... That's okay. Now it opens me up to other spells
Starting point is 00:22:34 because that was a concentration spell the whole time. True. And you still have not used your action. So what I wanted to say earlier was you can get closer to Ronnie by using like dash as an action. You can, you know, you get all the way to him or you could, if you have a spell to heal.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Do you know what I'd like to, uh, I would like to get up close to him and do a cure wounds on him. Can I do that? I'll take it. Yes, you can. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:23:03 What do you got? All right. Thank you for apologizing yak your wounds which is hey sorry this is that's the sound of me looking anybody see problematic flash yet nope i'm gonna see it for the batmans oh the flash got it it. The guy who throws things at women. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they throw things at women.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Another six points for Brian. I don't think I said he. I said guy. That's true. I'll see it. I won't. I do miss that Batman. I'm in for Michael Keaton.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I'm so fucking in for Michael Keaton. I love Michael Keaton. I love him in everything. I couldn't be happier that he's back. I want to see if more than Rhodes does, but we're going. Here's what I truly, truly hope happens. They go, oh, he is the reason this made all the money.
Starting point is 00:24:05 It's time to do The Dark Knight Returns with Michael Jordan. Yeah. That would be so fucking badass. Just give him an old man Batman movie of his own. He's back. Do it. Dan, what would you think if we did The Dark Knight, but we used Ezra Miller as as the flash instead of batman
Starting point is 00:24:25 i think you got that wish you got that wish yeah that's what's gonna happen yeah yeah it's true but you know what there will be some sort of uh some sort of new thing with him i I'm sure. It's just too cool. Yeah. That, I think, did you roll your Cure Wounds, Blaine? I did. It was six points. Thank you for reminding me. So six points, Brian, if you haven't already.
Starting point is 00:24:58 And Friar Jolly, you're up. Thanks, Blaine. Here to help. Friar Jolly's going gonna put his hand on the ground and uh start chanting something in uh i don't know silver fire language and cast mass healing word as i call out words of restoration up to six creatures so i'm gonna call out uh obviously the three that I know for sure that are hit so it'll be Ronnie uh you know Johnny zizzix in my arm is what's his name his board is Bort and hoshenka Johnny's in my arms it's just a great phrase so yeah so I'll sweep I I don't think Sarah's hurt, is she? No, but Hoshinka's down.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yeah, Hoshinka for sure. Okay. Hoshinka, Brian, Ken, Fizzbort. Is Gus down? He got smacked, but I think he's at full health because he's been healed since he got smacked. Okay, yeah. So anybody, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anybody. since he got okay yeah so anybody i just want to make sure i'm not missing anybody
Starting point is 00:26:09 um they all as a group get healing from uh the silver flame everybody gets seven hit points that ain't nothing for man yeah it's it's low but it's for a big group. And then, again, we're right next to Orcus, so I'll... Yeah. That's all I can do, I guess. Sorry. Cool. So how many total?
Starting point is 00:26:43 I think it's 13. Right, because Blaine gave you six six and then I gave you seven. Okay, cool. Thank you. Okay. Well, this is going to give Fizzbort a chance to wake up and he does. up and he does so you see him kind of pull himself
Starting point is 00:27:09 up Jolly and he is pissed and going to cast at Orcus. Circle of Death.
Starting point is 00:27:31 The sphere of negative energy ripples out in a 60-foot radius from a point in range. Each creature in the area must make a con save. If they fail, they take 8d6 necrotic damage. Half if they succeed. So he's going to do that. His con is pretty good, but we shall see. That's a 10.
Starting point is 00:28:01 That's a 10. So he gets enveloped in a circle of black negative energy and takes a lot of damage. Thank you for attacking yourself. thank you for attacking yourself alright he takes 34 points of necrotic damage and he cries out for the first time in actual pain
Starting point is 00:28:37 Orcus who has been kind of he's been pretty do you bleed Orcus from Orcus come in Ah! Who has been kind of... Let me ask you something. Do you bleed? Orcus from Orcus. Come in, Orcus. Orcus calling Orson.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Winifred is going to cast Vicious Mockery. Blaine, would you like to take another shot? I loved your reference last time. About tails? You got anything for Vicious Mockery as he attempts? Another thing for Orcus? Renifred's going to insult him for hopefully psychic damage. He's got to make a 17
Starting point is 00:29:14 wisdom savings throw. The last time I saw a face that resembled yours, it had a horse's feed bag tied to the front of it because it resembled yours, it had a horse's feed bag tied to the front of it because it resembled a horse. That is a fantastic Sarah impression.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Unfortunately, he does get an 18 on his wisdom save, so he is going to... Of course, of course. He smirks and says, nice Winifred impression. And then we're going to, of course, of course, he smirks and says, nice Winifred impression. And then we're going to come round. Mr. Eddie Short for Winifred. Queep it's you. Time for a queep.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Same. Great X. Let's see what happens. All right. That's a what happens. All right. That's a 17. I like a 17. This is for which guy? Orcus.
Starting point is 00:30:14 That's a hit. Whee! Would not have been for Valix. Seven. Ooh, choppy. And I go again. Uh-oh, here it comes. comes right back it's flying through the air that's a seven to hit
Starting point is 00:30:29 that's a miss then I fart in my pants okay well that's weird that you would fart in your pants because I've imagined Kweep with no pants I don't know about you guys but he's anthropomorphic I figure the feathers just cover the cloaca you would fart in your pants because I've imagined Kweep with no pants. I don't know about you guys, but he's anthropomorphic. I figure the feathers just
Starting point is 00:30:47 cover the cloaca. You don't need any pants. There's some nice stretch jeans. Oh, there you go. You guys smell cuttlefish? What smells like cuttlefish in here? Oh, God. Oh, God. Who ate all the seed bells?
Starting point is 00:31:04 Oh god, who ate all the seed bells? Jesus Christ, it reeks like crackers in here. Wet crackers! What are some other funny things birds eat? Oh my god, an entire mouse skeleton! Oh gross, gross. God. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Will that do for your turn, Queep? Yeah. Aw. Gus is up. He's going to keep hiding. Ronnie, it's you. Yay. It's you.
Starting point is 00:31:42 You got this, leader. I saw Mouse go up and for a... Hold on. We're taking a caller. Hello. Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. Dave, you got to turn down your radio. Dave in Kentucky. You got to turn your radio down.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Yeah, I was like... You got to turn your radio down. Yeah, I was like, you gotta turn your radio down. Yeah, I was like, I gotta get the... We want to hear your question. Yes, I was wondering if there's somebody at my door with an axe and I was like... Sorry, he's got some feedback.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Ba-ba-booey, ba-ba-booey. Uh, rock the Bell's radio on Sirius. Roxanne Shantae has the most fucking entertaining radio show I've heard in years. It's so funny. I nearly everything that she says and it's fucking so entertaining and she'll just do it like a topic topic for the day is how do you fuck up barbecue and then people call it and say how you fuck up barbecue who is this Roxanne Shantae the
Starting point is 00:33:02 rapper from the fucking late 70s, early 80s. All right. She was one of the first female rappers. I mean. But you know who the real first female rapper was? Hmm. Deborah Harry? Goddamn right.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Well. Eatin' cars. She still. Part makes me so sad she appropriated a whole i mean you know and she has been given credit for popularizing rap at that point in time because it was really early but like it's also like the worst part of that song. It makes my skin crawl. Yeah. Have you ever heard the Rush rap? No. There's a Rush rap that's, yeah. Anyways,
Starting point is 00:33:52 where were we? We were at Neil Peart with Brian Posehn and friends. It's like they have a different word for everything. You are up, Brian. You have this tether of red lightning.
Starting point is 00:34:11 It does not feel good. Okay. What can I do? Right now you're not being restricted, but I think you can tell this is bad news bears that this lightning is still sort of like stuck thoroughly into your torso. Right. Am I close to a ledge or anybody else? Valyx has blinked out of existence for now.
Starting point is 00:34:44 You don't see where he is. He is invisible or doing something similar. Okay. I can't really do anything. No, you can absolutely do something. You can try to do something to break free of
Starting point is 00:34:59 the lightning or you can fire a dart or run at Orcus. Orcus might be too far away to run up to. I will measure that for you. You are 30 feet away, so I think you can get to him if you want. Your movement is 50?
Starting point is 00:35:17 Yeah, I'll do that. Okay. So, if you also do it like up at his Top left corner on the map You will have him flanked Okay
Starting point is 00:35:34 Run up to your face and kiss you So uh I get Roll with advantage You do Cool I will put your token over there 18 in life you got it 18 in life you know uh yeah 18. that's a hit cool you get to roll with advantage though yeah yeah you roll a second time try to beat an eight oh did you oh i did yeah but i didn't beat the 18 anyway you got 17. so seven points of slash
Starting point is 00:36:13 an image and then you get to roll with advantage again you get a second attack yep that's a 15 sticker now no i'm afraid that's gonna be a miss those highest i got all right swinging a miss can everything everybody do a perception check please perception you say oh natural 20 plus 4 24. nice 17 get I got an act 14 also I got a 27 with the natural Jesus nice you all notice a
Starting point is 00:36:52 gurgling noise as Hoshinka pulls herself into a crawl position and ducks behind the table that she was just splayed out on nice hmm up next is gonna be and ducks behind the table that she was just splayed out on. Nice. Up next is going to be Orcus.
Starting point is 00:37:13 He did not like getting slashed from behind, Ronnie, so he's going to pivot on you. Don't care. Today is the day Orcus finally became president. He's going to swing his wand to try to club you with it. What the hell? Be a 39 to hit, and it's a critical. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Can I use my warding flare to impose disadvantage upon such a thing? You sure can. I feel like a 39 hits a good time to do that. I mean, it seems like a ridiculous roll, Dan. It is. It is. Orcus's wand is plus 19 to hit. So how many hit points is it?
Starting point is 00:38:05 Nothing yet. He has to re points is it? Nothing yet. He has to re-roll it first, actually. I'm making him re-roll it. It's probably an automatic success because I think your AC is under 19, right? Yeah. Okay, so it's a 28 to hit this time. It's not a crit. That's good. You are going to take
Starting point is 00:38:23 some damage, though. 15 points of necrotic damage ronnie damn ronnie is getting beaten up these last couple of games and then he's gonna turn and take a swing at fizzbort also man poor f, yo. Fizzbord hit him hard. 35 to hit. I'm single digits, fellas. Gotta keep your melee fighters healed. And that's my hot tip for the day 24 points of damage to fizzbort and he's gonna go back down damn it uh also are you are you still you're not holding him he got out of your arms
Starting point is 00:39:20 so i believe so yeah like once you said he sort of came back to his senses I would imagine he was on his feet and that is going to be the end of his turn Dr. Uyedrip alright well my thing to cancel out the lightning didn't work
Starting point is 00:39:42 I'm going to cast protection from Energy on myself. Okay. Interesting. Just make sure that I don't get hit by anything. I'm gonna do a...
Starting point is 00:39:57 I'll do lightning damage, I guess. And I'm going to... Is that my only thing? Can I only cast one spell in one turn it's about actions it's about like where does the spell go in your turn order it'll tell you if a spell is going to use your action or if it's going to use your bonus action sometimes they're bonus actions usually it's you just get one and usually it it's your action. Casting time, one action. So that's it.
Starting point is 00:40:30 But if you have any spells you'd like to use that are bonus actions, often a spellcaster such as yourself has one or two. Do you know what I would like to do? I would like to do a wild shape, if that's the case. It is the case. I would like to wild shape myself into an earth elemental. Yeah! Fun! Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:52 So get ready with them stats. And that'll do it for you, yeah? Yeah, I'd like to die as an earth element. Cool. Sounds messy. Friar Charlie, you're up um i choose a creature that i see within range a surge of i choose ronnie the leader a surge of positive energy washes through ronnie causing him to regain 70 hit points jesus holy holy crap coming in crap. He's been saving some shit for clutch.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Catch this can of spinach, Ronnie. Yeah. The spell also, so he automatically gets, so you get 70 hit points back. It also ends blindness, deafness, or any diseases. That's it. Oh, fuck. Wow.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Nice. That's how you Oh, fuck. Wow. Nice. That's how you D&D. And then Orcus is still there. Okay, so I'll stay there to help Ronnie with flanking. Cool. That's my turn. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:00 You're welcome. Alright, we're gonna get a death saving throw from Fizzbort. That's a success. Ronnie does a little backflip because he's feeling good. He's at maximum hit points. Sweet. Lands on some butter and breaks his neck.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Oh, no. Winifred's going to try and hit Orcus with another vicious mockery from Winifred. Blaine, would you like to take another crack at the insult that she hurls at Orcus? Uh, hey, uh, hey, if my dog had a face like yours, I would take him to the veterinarian who would then shave his hindquarters and teach him to walk backwards or have him put to sleep if there was nothing else he could do. have him put to sleep if there was nothing else he could do. Well, and after considering that,
Starting point is 00:42:49 he manages to withstand the insult. The logic of that one got a little messed up. I couldn't follow it. Sorry, not insulted. Guess you had to be there. Someone is smoking weed right outside my window. And it is your cat. Yeah. My cat's not allowed to smoke weed outside.
Starting point is 00:43:11 The mouse out there has been hiding. Queer. The mouse. Yeah. I'm going to give you the final turn of the episode. What would you like to do? Okay. It always goes so well
