Welcome to the campaign after the campaign after the campaign. This is not another D&D podcast. Welcome back to Elder Morn, everybody! Elder Morn!

Ooh, I'm your Dungeon Master Brian Murphy joined by Jake Hurwitz. Hey there, Santors. You're not the only one with a ponytail. Corbo Babano. Oh, okay! This is new! I had to change it up. I was prepared for another thing. So I just have to throw that out. I really had a really good rhyme for this one. This absolutely destroys me. It's not rhymes anymore.

It's clever one liners. This is insane. How can this system work like this? Okay, and then we've got Emily Axford. Hey, there, Centaur. Is he or not the only one with a deep and profound sense of shame about things you've done in your life? Derek and Snakeroot. Oh, wow, that actually deepened.

A little bit of projecting on the Centaur. So sure. And then of course, we've got our guest, Lew Wilson. Hey, there, Centaur. You're not the only one holding a weapon and wanting to use it. Jabari, the safari. Okay. Yeah.

I love the new format. I love the new format. I hate the new format. I had rhymes written. This is the worst thing you've ever done. I think this is the first time that my respect for you has declined. I have a notes app note with a written rhyme that I was ready to deliver. Okay, this is awful because now I feel like the audience at home is turning against me.

Good. There's these Rob to the rhymes. Rob to the rhyme, that's right. And that's right. Rob the rhyme. Jake, Jake Erwin's Rob does the rhyme. Oh, hashtag Rob the rhyme. I love that way.

I love that way. You guys took from that was not to do a clever one liner. It was to start whatever you said with a centaurus. Hey, centaurus. Oh, I was sorry. Did you want me to spend the 10 seconds I had to think of something? No, thinking about the similarities between Derek on and centaurus. Oh, okay, centaurus. Let's go ahead and do a little recap.

So last time the hex buds finished their grim work at Wimers' War Camp, slaying the Woodbeak King with three arrows from Jabari's steady bow. You took off to escape only to be attacked by your reynard wendell. After a close call with a downed Corbo Tarragon managed to bring him back up and you all fled into the woods. Reynard gave chase and just as it seemed you couldn't take another crossbow bolt Corbo caught sight of a winter sprite, something he had not seen since your time living with giants during the war. Before you can follow it, however, you were confronted by the Prophet Gideon.

Teregan though, used Thomaturgy to throw him off his horse while casting sanctuary on Surreinard and sending him off. The three of you followed the winter sprite through a natural gate, emerging from the other side in a whole new world, a secret growth. After a short standoff with some centaurs, you were brought to your old friend Glada, a wise, frost giant elder who was said to be able to speak to sprites. She brought you into her giant cottage for some giant humor and grim news. There you learned that the sorceress, Maksora,

was actually a projection of your old mentor, the madmaj Merowen. Merowen had made a deal with the Reaper and was now combining her genius in human augmentation with his divine power. You found out that Glada is part of a network of the tricksters followers called the Guardians of the Grove, and that Merrowyn was leading a war against them. The Prophet's Gideon in Cain were once part of the Guardians, but were apparently killed and resurrected as minions. These minions have the power to grant Merrowyn access

to the secret groves, and apparently her true form lies in one, the scorched grove to the north. After processing this information in the Warhot tub, the war tub, you know what I mean. You decided to deal with the prophet Gideon first, who is likely still out in Pearl Hill away from the rest of his cohorts. And that's where we are now. Can I ask a quick question? When we worked with the mage, did she have a god or deity that she was connected with? Was it a switch from the trickster to the Reaper? Or was she just experimenting with magic? No, she was very much of a scientific mind.

She was very much of this world. Like to be a god means to have power, you know, boots on the ground here. So she, so this is actually kind of out of character for her in a way. So she must have gotten a fantastic deal. So you guys are in Glada's giant cottage in the war tub. You hear the trickling from a small spigot that is pulling water from a nearby magical hot spring. And you guys see a fog

fills the room as you guys are sitting in this tub. And you see after a little bit, after you guys have been talking for a little while, Glada enters. You see her giant shadow appearing in the fog. Whoa, Glada, knock. Oh, are you decent? Are you decent? Not yet, no. Okay, so the three of you,

I'll find seeing each other but Four of us completely dressed but yeah, I saw so close. I've on it gets it get it penetrates the skin a bit deeper if you soak entirely In your garments interesting can bring the hot tub with you hot wet clothes. That's right. I try to never be dry Interesting very interesting. Come in come in. I'm sorry. I was joking. You see, she kind of like waves her giant hands and disperses some of the fog. And she goes, again, you do have a little bit of time for every day in the mortal world. It's five days here. So you are of course, who welcome to rest here for the night.

If you'd like to get your strength back. Yeah, I got a lot of, I lost a lot of strength. There's a lot to be gained from taking a little rest. Yeah, I think I'd be down with like the bare minimum that we need to stay here to get back out there. Jibbadi needs rest. Jibadi's mind wants to kill. Now, Jibadi will sleep and eat and replenish.

Sweet, you see after a little bit, you guys get out of the tub, you see outside, it turns to night, it's been daytime the whole time you were here, but you see the sun goes down. The sky's got this like beautiful purple hue, like it just looks like a gorgeous twilight painting. And you see all the glittering stars in the sky. We might need to sit on the porch and have a drink before we're dead. I'm gonna have to put it outside. Well, while we do that, I think I'm gonna conjure some fire in my fingers from my little fiery key,

and just do a little bit of scorching to get a little ash going for my dragon rose. Ooh, very nice. Yeah, you see, Tehran, as you feed your dragon rose, some of this ash, and it's out here in this wild place. You see that the dragon rose is opening back up. It's not like fully healed and looking perfectly healthy,

like when you first found it, but it looks a lot better than it has for the past few days. Does it look like I could plant it here and it would thrive? Go ahead and give me an insight check. 17. With a 17, you know that these groves are teaming with life, and so this rose will do well

here, but its actual environment is in the ash of dragon fire. Okay, so this little buddy needs to stick with me. That little buddy might want to stick with you. Yeah, yeah, you see Glada is sitting out there with you guys in the twilight. You guys are drinking giant mugs of ale and Glada is just laughing to herself. All right, we have our tankards from the hall.

Big beer, little guy. Look at this guy. Pretty good. Wet clothes, little guy, big beer. Yeah. Check this out. I'm gonna hop up over there on that porch swing. Oh. There's like a porch.

Oh, look at that. I'm a Jabbarat. I'm a joined Corpo. It is still, we are on either side and not even close. Oh, that's a couple's for a giant and then the YouTube. There could be two of you on one side, two of you on the other side. It's a quadruple swing. Wow.

I'm going to jump up to swing them. I have to like jump up into the air to swing them. All right. Careful, Terry. You need to really fucking high up here. I like spike them like a volleyball You got rock it 30 feet into the air on the dog and swing dirt bitch. Sorry Take me back to my volleyball base do not unleash the dragon not here. Jibadi does not mind

All right, I spike just Jabari All right, I spike just Jabari. Oh! Just... I spike Jabari back around. And you see Glada begins doing her ritual. You've seen her do this before. She probably showed you when you guys were staying with her in her frost giant village. When I say that she speaks to sprites, she doesn't like go and talk to them.

You see she has to do a ritual and essentially she casts some magic spell and is able to gain some knowledge from them. So you see she's creating a little rune circle out here and you see she's got her head up towards the sky and you see all of these sprites, these yellow sprites are flying up here, looking like stars in the sky twinkling and as she casts her spell to kind of become one with them, you see little bits of fairy dust, this magical arcane glitter going between them, like a network, almost making like constellations. Wow. Jibrati wonders if we should sleep outside and let me take advantage of the beauty of this place. Terrigan is like already finding some like a grass that she can like sort of cut from so that like

she can make like little little sleeping bags we can entomb ourselves in. Sweet, yeah, you guys make sleeping bags you can entomb yourselves in, so attend. You make attend. No, they just cover our bodies. We almost look like little grass mermaids. Yeah, man.

They only come up to the waist. They don't go all the way. I guess they come up to the whole way They don't go all the way. I guess they come up to the they go the whole way on you but on They go. Yeah. It's just like my belly button It's a great tattoo. We got to leave that torso tattoo out. Yes, but it likes to let it breathe especially before battle So the lawn mermaids are laying out and And you see Glada after a little while, she's done with her ritual, walks past you all, as she's getting ready to go into her cottage

and go to bed, and she goes, I have spoken to the sprites, the ones in the mortal plane near Pearl Hill have warned me that Gideon is proceeding with the plan. He is trying to hunt down the warriors who are fleeing. Has he enlisted the armies like in particular the Toads? The Toads? Are the Toads safe? We're pretty invested in the Toads. The cavalry is not far behind him,

but is not there yet. He rode ahead. The Toads are even further back. By the time you wake up, the Toads will probably be just arriving. Okay. It's good to get a lay of the land. But for the most parts, this has mostly been prophet Gideon going rogue and taking down people one by one. Got it. Hmm. Interesting. I wonder if we could try to send word to the king that Wimer is dead and then maybe have him call off prophet gideon so if

the toads went home they won't get they won't have like defected but the king as jibbari has been informed this an agent of moxona and is it yeah it seems maybe that she will be saying, or King, it should still happen because it is what I want. That sounds like her. Yeah, no, that's a good impression. Yeah, that sounds like my- It's a nice meant, Jabari spends a lot of time with her.

And now that Jabari knows that she is his mother, it's also, it's just like, oh, okay, so it's just, it's a lot, it's fucked up. Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, very bad. Little guy, little guy big drama. That's good. That's the name of the show. That's the new RTLC show. Yeah, little guy big drama. Well, I'm going to bed. It's good to see you all again. It's good to be back. It has been good to see you later. Yeah, it's good to or maybe even here for the first time.

Right? We've never been to a growth before. But in Glado's company. Yeah, in Glado's company. You see, she smiles, she shakes her head, and she goes, little lawn mermaids, so funny. I wiggle my grassy tail. I wiggle my grassy tail. Um, so you guys go to bed for the night? Uh, can, uh, can I, Jabari asked one thing before we go to bed? Yeah. Uh, as we're all leg there and I little lawn, in our lawn, dressed as lawn mermaids, uh, I think Jabari, uh, looks open.

It's like, cord bow, uh, can Jabari ask you a question? Uh, yeah, yeah. What's up, Jabari? Uh, earlier, uh, when we were, question? Yeah, yeah, what's up Jabari? Earlier, when we were discussing, you said that you were angry at Jabari for something, but the information that we received that changed your mind. But Jabari does not want to go into battle tomorrow thinking that something Jibadi did or something Jibadi could do again with upset corpos. So Jibadi just wanted to ask to know what it was that Jibadi did. Or we could just fight.

Jibadi is open to other option. Yeah. They're gonna secretly hoping for a fight. We're already tucked in. I think we just chatted out Okay, it's a You perfectly fine with your body. Yeah, let's out a disappointed Someone just kicked my leg and I don't think it was your bar. I think Terrigan's trying to start some shit

Terrigan Terrigan Sorry, I was giving you privacy No, no, Terrigan, I mean your mother welcome to be here. I just I mean Jebadi is open to fight. I mean, it is how we did things when we were young, but Jebadi knows that we are and you are not as interested as in fighting as we once were so Yeah, you know tell you that's that's kind of what it was. That's what I was upset about. It's It's the it's the senseless killing. It's the killing that doesn't need to happen that that was making me upset you know

like shooting a guard through the back of the helmet and do you understand I mean jibbari is jibbari is so so I think there's a way to look at it where that is very necessary but jibbari here and that's and that's actually's actually, that's all I'm not asking you to not kill. I'm not asking us, I don't want to not fight. I know we have to fight. I just, I want all of it to be strategic. I want it to mean something. And, you know, everybody we kill, it seems like it's just going to be

another soldier in Mama's Army. So, so, you know, maybe it works out either way. Yeah, that just kind of put the cabash on area, effects, spells, dragon, spreath, and spirit guardians and whatnot. Yeah, so maybe instead of just killing a bunch of people, we just kill a couple, a couple monsters, really good. Yes.

Okay. But, Jibadi just wants to say that, you know, if there is an opportunity where collateral damage, you know, it's, if somebody just thinks we should take, you know, Terragons fire breath off the table. I mean, everybody has not seen that in years. I mean, come on. You know, I, you know, I do feel it, like, I do feel like a baby who needs to be burped. It's like, it's building in me. It's building in me.

I don't want us to not be the hexblades. That's the only reason I'm alive right now is because y'all are who y'all are. So don't hold back on anything, but. It is a good point, though, that we have to consider everybody down becomes one that's fighting us. And, and let's also just remember, we charged into that battle thinking we were doing justice

for the king, but we were just doing the pup it's bidding. So, let's not trust anybody except our shell. Yeah, I'm not angry about why. I mean, he hated us all. Once that guy turned it, looked at me with the hate in his eyes that had nothing to do with us attacking him. I think he didn't like me for a long time. When he said failed experiment,

the fucking dragon breath almost came out there. That was rude. Yeah, it was not cool. Okay. Jibadi likes, you know, weird, we're at. Jibadi just wanted to check it. But I appreciate clearing the air. I think we needed to do that. But I'm happy to be out here sleeping underneath the sprites. There's nobody else out of out there do it with

I jump out he feels very much the same way Oh, and jibbadi is honestly too excited to sleep Jibbadi is just going to lay here Yeah, you completely wiggled out of your out of your lawnmourn Oh, I mean, in 10 of gone wanted us to this to fight? I mean, it's like, this is the best. I know. All right, fuck it. I'm gonna get up.

Jabari, let's wrestle. Let's just wrestle. Come on. Give me a little stuff and watch the work of our best. I don't have my TV. All right, let's do it. Ah! I'm gonna make opposed athletics checks.

Okay, Jabari, I'm, ah, she's, my body's already pretty tight from lying down. I'm not very limber one second. Okay. That's an 18. Uh, that's a net 20. I honestly wouldn't want it any other way. The body finished him.

Uh, I think Jabari, like, let's you get hands on him and they just full oddon, wraps you in a hug, and flips you over his back. Not as fast as you thought. Oh no! Oh fuck! Hi, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's a hard judo throw, hip toss, over the side. Slam, Corbo, down on his back. Corbo, luckily, the ground is very soft here, but you definitely get the breath knocked out of you.

I'll go right to sleep where I landed, actually. Just wake up in six hours. I build a lawnmormade over you. Tomorrow is going to be a great day. Corvo transitions seamlessly from being unconscious to being asleep. And waking up. All right. And yeah, you guys all go to bed.

You guys wake up the next day. It's pre-sun rise about like, you know, like 4.30 in the morning or so. And you actually see Glada is already up. And she's once again doing her speaking to the Sprite's thing. It looks like she essentially took like a short rest to be able to do this. And you guys remember from when you guys were staying with giants that they're just on a completely different schedule from smaller humanoids.

Like they will sleep for like 24 hours at a time. Like they exist on a completely different clock and then the you know with the north It's darker for more for more hours of the day So she just did not sleep last night at one point at some point she will just sleep for like 20 hours But for now it looks like she has not slept so you see as you guys Start stirring and wake up You see a look of concern on her face as she's speaking with the sprites. You see she's kind of whispering to herself as these sprites glow in the sky. And you see she turns to you guys as you wake up and she goes,

there is a gap in their knowledge. There's what? In the sprites knowledge? There is a gap in their knowledge. There's what? In the sprites' knowledge? She nods. The sprites near the gate here are not speaking to me. They're not there. Something must have happened in the past few hours.

Have you ever had something like this happen before? You see, she nods. Some powerful followers of the Reaper can kill sprites with their presence. Okay. Okay. Well, you know what, we're gonna get right to that gate and figure it out for you. I will join you. I am concerned. Okay, before real quick, Glada, bring it in. we're doing a closed loop hug. Yeah. And I cast emboldening body. Yeah, we just learned these. It is new. Have you tried it before? Have I? Jibonny likes it very much. I hugged people before? Yeah. It's similar to like the arms squeeze.

The one arms, oh you have. So you know what we're talking about. Yes. It's a true arms squeeze. People every day, Stalios comes by, says, good morning. Let's hug. We hug. Next person comes by, a little toadstool guy. I say, hello toadstool. Give him a hug. Hold on.

Yeah, hug the toadstool guy. Your body is confused. You hug just anybody. I would say I hug anywhere from 10 to 30 people a day. That's a lot. So you would say there's not much of a vetting process in order to hug you. Close loop, every single one, not just to say the last.

Yeah, do you close the loop on every single one? Yeah, do you have a blade that you make sure that they know that if they choose to take advantage of your kindness, that you will immediately hurt them? That's a good question. She puts a giant hand on all of your shoulders, just like pulls you all in and goes. We all flinch. What?

I truly weep for all of you and the things that these people have made you do. If you are a giant's children, I would have you running around and enjoying life for the right reasons. I mean, we kind of are a giant children, right? That is true. That is tall also. Yep, that's true. You're giant toddlers. Yeah.

Alright, my giant toddlers. Let us go see why sprites are dead. Right. Yes, yes, that's true. Sweet. So you do the close loop hug. You cast your spell, Terragon, or use your ability. And you guys take off towards the gate.

You see Glada is she's pretty old, so she's like a little slow, but she's got a very long gate like she's going pretty fast and she's able to keep up with you guys when you guys aren't running full speed. You guys get back to the area that you first arrived in in the grove. You guys see the branches of this tree leaning in such a way that it creates a natural gate. It looks remarkably similar to how it did on the material plane only. It's more kind of lush with lots of overgrowth here As you guys arrive here go ahead and give me a perception or investigation checks It's a 21 18 17 I think sweet or 18 as well great great rolls all around so I'll say you guys all see this so you guys all Russian

You look around your eyes kind of like glow a little bit brighter as you use your hex blood eyes to look around. You guys see signs of a fight here. You see arrows sticking out of the trees nearby. You see some droplets of blood on some of the leaves here and like some of the brush and you also see the dull glow of dead sprites all around. Like all around this area. Instead of glowing a bright yellow, you see their lifeless bodies are lying there, just kind of giving off a dull glow. Can I, with Gladi's permission, I want to pick one up and try to investigate if it's going to come back to life as a zombie. I just, I have to say, I'm so sorry Gladi, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I real

quick, I've got to see if this little folk is going to come back. You see, she looks upset, not at you, just at the scene. You see, she shakes her head and she goes These sprites are pure tricks. They're magic. These ones will not come back There may be a way to corrupt them, but I don't think it's like this You guys do however here raspy breathing nearby We rush over to the to the breathing. Yeah

You rush over to the breathing and you find you see that the some of the bushes here have a little bit of trail of blood on them. It looks like the blood was coming from this person who has like run a little deeper into the woods. And you find staleos here. Staleos with an arrow stuck in their ribs, hiding in the brush injured and bleeding out still still alive, but but very very hurt. Can I cast cure wounds on them? You can Okay, that'll be 12 okay 12 Traconic firey healing you see

Stalios was at the level of wounded where they were Just kind of trying to stay conscious and concentrate on their breathing. So when you run over, they don't even really acknowledge you. They're just like staring forward, kind of trying to study their breath. As soon as you cast cure wounds, they're more grievous wounds start to heal. You see the arrows are pushed back as you like put your hands on the horse lower half of their body. Yeah, you see the arrows are pushed back as you put your hands on the horse lower half of their body. You see the arrows come out and you see a staleous kind of jolt's back to life and goes, oh thank you. I thought I was lost. I was so pissed at you guys for bringing a plus one here,

but now you've brought me back and I owe you a great deal. What had happened here? Who breached this gate and did are they our plus ones? Did we open the gate for them? There was a strange man with a ghost head. Oh fuck. That came through the gate. What. We were about to go out there and look for him, but I guess, okay, so we don't have to, we can hang in the grove. I guess.

Glada looks confused and she goes, but he would not come here without an army. Why would you and you hear Stalios go? He came in by himself, our scouting party tried to stop him, but as soon as he killed one of us, he did some kind of necromancy that brought them back as undead. The tides turned quickly, and I was shot by one of my former allies. The rest of us had to retreat, but the big one didn't follow. And I told the rest to go on without me. So there's gonna be some undead centaurs? Stalios nods solemnly. And guys, go ahead and give me insight checks. Damn it. It's gonna be a nat one. Oh, but I rewrote that because I'm a halfling. There it is. Four. That's a 24. A 14 for Jabbar. Corbo kind of occurs to you that if Prophet Gideon were

to come here, he probably couldn't do much long-term damage because there are other people here. Like this was just the scouting party of the Centaur's. If there was a whole army of them, you assume there's lots of other people that occupy this grove. Gideon wouldn't come in here unless he had a plan. But it does occur to you with that hive and insight check that if he was having trouble chasing down these fleeing soldiers, having some people on his side that were great archers and were literally as fast as a horse would be pretty fucking helpful.

literally as fast as a horse would be pretty fucking helpful. Oh, so he came and he scooped and he's gone. Usually I like a scoop. You see Stalios throws their hands up and goes, I don't know, all I know is he didn't follow. Can I do some kind of like insight or arcana check to try to figure out if we kill these undead centaurs, are they going to then become zombies again, or like does it loop or is it for good?

No, you know, you know, right off the bat that once a zombie is destroyed, they're down. Stalios permission to take your fallen party members out of a position where they're doing harm to others. Yes, please bring them to rest. It'd be a mercy. And I owe you for healing me. So let me give something back to rest. It'd be a mercy. And I owe you for healing me. So let me give something back to you.

And you see they reach out and touch your cheek. I flinch. You flinch. What's? What? I'm just not used to it. You have to spell on you. Is this okay?

Yes, please do, sorry. They do some kind of magical touch that gives you your spell slot back. They give you your cure wounds back. Oh, cool. Well, it occurs to Jibari that maybe if Gideon has left with this new fleet of soldiers, we should hurry.

Yeah, we should make like centars. Yes, you see Glada shakes her head and she goes, I am sorry, I had not considered that he might dip in and dip out. I, we didn't consider the dip, none of us did. I just want to say now that I have access to the grove, I will never dip in and dip out like that. I just think that's so rude.

It's just wrong. Yeah. I'll always say hi. I'll always take a bath. I will never come here and not take a shower. I will always rip for the workout. I will always rip for the workout. I will take Stelios back to my cottage and help them heal up.

In the meantime, we will warn the other centars. If anything goes wrong again, we will be prepared this time. Gideon will not be met with a scouting party. Hell yeah. All right. I guess, I guess do we just kind of jump out? Yeah. Yeah, just run at the, at the, we're at the hole and yeah. Corbo just jumped in place. Oh, jump over there. Yeah, you have to go through the little gates. All right. Do it gracefully. This is a beautiful place.

Don't just run through it. I do an aerial cartwheel. I swam to have through the portal that while whistling for my dog. Yeah, Jibbar is gonna do a backhand spring. Just straight through that hole. I do some of like that little gymnastics posing that they do in between impressive moves, right before.

Yeah. Oh, no. Lake is gonna do a misty flip. Oh. Oh. All right. You see, yeah, Lake misty flips through the gate and the rest of you guys do your various acrobatic dances.

Good girl. So you emerge on the other side of this natural gate and appear back in Outerboro. You feel the cold air hit you immediately, this unforgiving landscape, very different than the sort of magically enhanced beauty of the other place. Oh, fuck, I'm still wet. Yes, yes.

You are going to catch a cold. You're going to catch a cold. I try to get some little fire on you. Oh nice, all right, thank you. I only catch a little bit of your ponytail on fire. It feels like you're wearing freshly steamed clothes. Just hot and a little bit wet still. Just moist. Perfect.

You guys do, as soon as you guys come out here, you hear yells coming from the direction of the war camp and the direction of the town of Pearl Hill itself. And you guys can actually see some flames coming there but can't see much else while you're out in the woods. Okay, well it's with run towards the, the yelling and the flames. So wait, yeah, yeah. You guys run out of the woods and you see that

Pril Hill is in chaos. You see the War Camp has mostly been abandoned. Some of the forces, it looks like maybe stayed behind to fight, but that has only led to kind of more destruction. You see their caught in this kind of endless struggle, fighting zombified versions of their allies. You see in the war camp, it's not like a lot of fighting, but you do see the few guards who stayed behind here in the camp are being overwhelmed by various undead.

You see rates and phantoms and zombies. The scene here is grim, but it actually looks like most of the fighting is going on in the town itself. And from the sounds of it, it seems like Gide fighting is going on in the town itself. And from the sounds of it, it seems like Gideon's got a pretty big fighting force. You can deduce that maybe Gideon started there and turned some of the town's folk to add to his forces. It doesn't seem like he succeeded in turning everyone obviously but their numbers are growing.

You see that in the town, the giant ivory tower has caught fire as have some of the other buildings in the town. You see that there are people on like horseback fleeing the town, you see other people in families just grabbing their belongings and running. You see one guard is taking off out of the war camp and you see a zombified centaur,

whew, whew, whew, whew, whew zombified centaur just comes out from behind a tent and quickly puts two arrows in his back. Just real quick, that was sick though, right? That's a good way to go. That dude screams it. God is never gonna believe this. You see the fighting in the camp and from what you can see of the town looks to be Gideon and the undead versus Wimers forces. The kind of ones that stuck around to make a stand. It looks like fully like three-quarters of the army has kind of fled and there's just a few people here kind here trying to fight. It looks like he just ran in with the centaur, rose some allies and is just like chipping away at them. As far as thirst and bright leaps forces go, you see some of them are out here in the field. These are the people

that you marched with. This is the cavalry. You see in the valley before the camp, these nights on horseback have arrived, the ones who are being led by Gideon. They are looking on and awe and are kind of looking conflicted. And you see that as you guys approach, as you guys run out of the woods, you see Sir Raynard is arguing with one of the knights. And you see one of the knights kind of just like pushes Raynard and then points to him and gestures to the other knights and goes We have orders we put traders to the sword and Raynard responds and goes you speak of fighting alongside the dead we must band together The other knight is just yelling about better than fighting alongside a traitor

And so it looks like keeping Rainer alive has stopped the cavalry from joining from joining the Gothic Gideon right off the bat. But they are in a heated argument about what to do. And there's kind of like no leadership here. Just Rainard is trying to take control, has some respect from these guys because he used to lead them, but left to go with Wimer, this other hot shot dude is trying to say we need to go in there and help

profit Gideon, and they are fighting back and forth. Alright, can I just go up and slap him across the face? Who? The guy trying to say that he's gonna fight Raynard? Okay, sweet. Yeah, Corvo, go ahead and make it a tag roll. Okay. Nah, all right, that's a 20, no, dirty 20, not now.

A dirty 20? Yeah, you see this dude is turned around yelling at Serranard as these nights kind of stand around, not knowing what to do. You have mother's shoulder, he turns around, you just fucking pop him one. You are a monk. So this is not a regular slap.

This like straight up strikes him down. He like falls off his horse and starts groaning. And you see a Serenaard looks up and goes, you're back. Yeah, sorry. That guy needed a hard reset. Okay. Everybody look into your heart. I'm on Tim. Yeah. Look, look needed a hard reset. Okay everybody Look into your heart. Yeah, look look you listen to yourself and you'll know your new orders There's there's the dead fighting the living all right

You don't need orders from a king to know what's right to do here listen to this fucking weener. Yeah, sorry renault I'm not a weener That is debatable. Yeah looking what this turned into look what this ghost head dude is doing. Yeah, no, you're right We're not on who said we're not on I think we all want to we all want a piece of that ghost head guy Yeah, um while while this is going on can Terragon Be starting to blow more and more smoke out of rhinostrels until like smokey

like, uh, shapes of dragons around her as my spirit guardians. Oh, sure, yeah. And it says that spirit guardians, when you cast it, you can designate any number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by it. Can I say that like only zombies and profit gittying can be affected by it? Yeah, certainly. Cool. Okay.

So, Corbo, go ahead. Here's what I'm going to say. I'm going to have you roll with advantage. I'm going to have Gideon roll with disadvantage. We're going to do your persuasion versus his intimidation. Oh wow. His intimidation is very fucking good.

But he'll roll with disadvantage. So this is, you guys are right in front of them this war camp looks like bad news the hex floods are You know legendary warriors rainard was at one time the leader of these dudes, so let's see who these guys want to fight for Hot I'm persuasion's only a plus one, but I rolled a 16. So that's a 17. I swear to God, he has a plus 10 to intimidation. I rolled a seven.

That's a 17, that's a roll off. That actually I could roll my emboldening bond from Terrigan. Oh! Oh! Close the loop! Close the damn loop. Close the loop, that's a four.

That's a four. That's a four. That's the highest I can the loop. That's a four. That's a four. That's a four at the highest Yeah, you see the nights look around They see this one dude who really wanted to defend the prophet Gideon on the floor He's having a wreath. He's having a wreath think about it. Yeah, just got just got fucking knocked off his horse and face planted Knocked off his high horse. They see this terrible stuff that's going on in the war camp and in the town. And you see, one of them just looks up

and goes, if a knight of outer burrow has to think hard to choose between fighting alongside the hexbloods or fighting alongside the dead, then perhaps we aren't real nights of outer burrow. You hear murmurs of agreement amongst them. Terrigan tries to look really serious, but when he said the part about fighting alongside the hexbloods, she let out a really big smile.

LAUGHTER Tibari is just beaming this whole time. It's just a big... It's nothing... Tibari's not even trying to whole time. It's just a big, it's nothing, it's a jibari's not even trying to be intimidating. I'm just, it's just excitement. And you see, so you've got these like lines of nights here, and you see after a bit, you see the toads,

you see dozens of foot soldiers. Up in a long, marching down the main road took longer to get here than it looks like the cavalry's been here for a little bit But as they start to make their way into the battlefield you see lieutenant Brython on his horse Rides towards you and salutes and goes captain Jabari. I kept the totes nice and dry for you Okay, I do not believe that with your body asked there a little ponds and other people the nights when took a shower But we stayed dry sir dry and crusty just like you like a sir

No, but it does not like you at way. It's a buddy likes you hydrated I feel like this was a whole thing. We had no we talked about the hydration. We didn't say anything about showering sir We stayed hydrated much to my chagrin hydrated much to my chagrin Jibadi is glad the change is slow so we'll take this victory, but I'm glad you are here Jibadi would like you to stay with the Calvary We the prophet Gideon has become a bad man and we are no longer fighting alongside him. Yes, he kind of forced me to tell on you guys, sir.

Ah, that's what happened. You have literally not stopped saluting Jabari since you got here. Yes, I'm scared of everyone, sir. Scared of the, Jabari, scared of the prophet Gideon, I'm scared, sir. If you want to go home, little toadad you can go home. I can go home Just go home. I don't want you to be in or you're going to stay back and lead all the footchulters to you Darryl do it. Just where? Serenade kind of leans in and goes please don't send him home

God he should stay. He needs to say all right Yeah, you know what you'll find your confidence on the battlefield He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more.

He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. He's a little bit more like a little bit more. I can try to set up a perimeter and try to stop the spread. They're thriving in this chaos, right? Yeah, that sounds great. It is what the Hacksplots do. We cut off the head, so it is what we will do. Yeah. You see Serenard rallies the foot soldiers

to start like making a perimeter to surround the town, like the soldiers in the Knights. You see the front lines start putting their shields up. to start making a perimeter to surround the town, like the soldiers in the Knights. You see the front lines start putting their shields up. You see some of these Knights have big tower shields. They start lining up behind you and then start spreading out to be able to make a circle around the town.

You've got this moving shield wall behind you as you guys go towards the town. You see from behind them, nights on horseback have like crossbows and there are archers up there ready to shoot arrows. You see archers in the back begin shooting ballies of arrows and you see a wave of zombies and ghouls in the war camp collapse as you all march forward. Jabari Wander, if we should approach Pearl Hill stealthily, that we might get to giddy in this quickly as possible and avoid meaningless killing, yes, as you would like. Stealthin, right?

And as I'm saying, that lake is just running around with the studded staff in her mouth banging the sheets. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, let's stilth. And then I'm surrounded by all of these smokey dragons. This episode of NADPOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs. They're a company that makes pants and shorts. So no matter where you fall and the age old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered. Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's gonna be difficult! Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier.

Bird Dogs stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, bird dogs invented a cloud-knit fabric that looks just like khaki, but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement. And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals. So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother make sure you are

We promise you Okay, that's it for me go team pants and enjoy the show Sneaking in right as you guys you run through the war camp You've got these lines of soldiers behind you've got the foot soldiers in front holding up shields. You got behind them of soldiers behind you. You've got the foot soldiers in front holding up shields.

You've got behind them, nights with crossbows, and then archers behind them. You've got lines going behind you. You guys run forward and start dipping into tents, like rushing through the war tents as you head towards the town. Go ahead and give me one stealth check in the war tent and one as you get into town.

14. Mine is 16. Okay, mine is a dirty 20. I will go ahead and do a luck check. I will say on a one through a five, it's a centaur who's going to be looking around. That's an 18. There are just regular zombies here.

They do not have good perception. Oh, they know. They are, you see a bunch of them engage the front lines of foot soldiers who Reinhard is able to like keep calm. And you see that this like organized line of soldiers has a much better chance against the undead than people who are being like ambushed in a camp. Do not break the line.

So they're trying to kind of keep the line. So you guys continue to rush forward as you guys get into the town itself. There's all this chaos around you. You see like townsfolk trying to fight off zombies, using like crossbows and things like that. You see other people are just running away. You see some of Wimers forces, some of the knights and stuff. Looks like they came in and tried to save the town's folk. Look like they're fighting amongst the zombies here.

Go ahead and give me a perception check first. Oh, shout out to the two crew. Be you, two crew. Perception is a 12 from Jabari. I got a 27. A 27, Jesus Christ. Wow. I'm sure you, with your dragon eyes,

start looking through the town, and you see that this white tower is engulfed in flames. And you see through the fire, prophet Gideon emerges, tossing down two dead guards, like dudes that he just cut down, and then you see he produces a small bell and you guys even far away over the sounds of battle. You hear this little ding, ding, ding, ding.

And you see those two guards rise and come to life. Terragond tips you off to where Gideon is. Guys, go ahead and give me stealth checks. Oh my god, I roll so well again. That is gonna be a 23, and we'll throw an emboldening bond on there to make it a 27. I got a 27 as well.

Okay. I got a 29. I got a 29. Yeah! And all that eight seed, I got a two on my emboldening bond and I have a plus 9 to stealth. The hex blood's on back. Yes, up here. The Corbo is slapping people, alright? Slap. That is breathing fire. We're back. So you guys are stealthing, go ahead and let me know how you want to approach Gideon here.

You hear the sounds of the marching army and you begin to see in all directions. It looks like there's four lines, like they're essentially creating a box and trying to like box in this town square. So you do see that there are a lot of zombies in here, a lot of like ghouls and various undead. It looks very bad, like pretty much all of the living that are in here, the ones that aren't gonna like make it to the line and be able to escape are just gonna add numbers to the undead. What do you guys want to do with Gideon here? Jibari wonders should we come down on Gideon from above or is it just going to be we run at him?

I'm tempted to try to just get a bestow person on him, even though that would undo my spirit guardians because if I could bestow curse on him and give him disadvantage on con saves, we could just really have a good chance of Stunning him Jabari will say that If Jabari is able to cast a hex on him from 90 feet the target has disadvantage on ability checks of our chosen ability Awesome, so I don't even have to sweet. Yes, you Jabari does not good because I actually really like these smoked dragons Yes Yes, you jibbadi does not good because I actually really like these smoked dragons Yeah, I jibbadi is excited to see them again This is like a clear thing so I've actually never really combined the two so it's kind of cool

I feel like I just met them Yes, this is great. Okay. Yeah, let's how about we just try to get a surprise round you go to town That would be idea. Yeah, all right. Let's just close random like a closed loop hug Yes, we will hug the profit gd. So with violence Why don't we go ahead and roll initiative 24 My initiative is 15 that's an 18 from jibari. All right, so let's say this Let's go into initiative and jibari, you can get your Hex off on your turn.

Great. So first, an initiative at 24 is Corbo. So Corbo is just going to walk into the town square, swinging his studded staff, and try to catch Gideon on the ghost chin, like an uppercut. A Corbo. You pop out of the shadows with a plus tend to perception of rolling a natural 19 he got a 29 you see

G'dian turns and just looks at you right in the eye and goes Trader I was told to put traders to the sword. You see draws his great sword go ahead and make your attack you beat him in initiative Okay, but this is not with advantage. This is not a surprise round. It's a full-on fucking fight Okay, but this is not with advantage. This is not a surprise round. It's a full-on fucking fight I Believe that we got I really I thought I was like he was like you can get your hexade I Imagine it kind of being an anime moment where it's like you pop out of the bushes But then like the dude just grabs you by the neck

You beat him in initiative though, so you still get to attack, but you get the sense that you've beaten him to the jump, but he saw you. It's just in initiative. We're out of surprise from here. That's a net 20. Whoa. Whoa. No, no, no, no, no, no.

For those first that thing. You got startled and declining. Who needs a fucking surprise round when you create? Yeah, I he expects you to flinch because he's used to people being intimidated by him. Look at you. You saw me eat hordes and I. Yeah, and just without missing a beat just keep swinging. All right, 15 damage on the first on my first attack. Okay.

All right, now I'll take my second attack. That's a 21. 21. 21. You see, this one he gets closer to blocking, but is still too slow. Big, heavy, armor, huge, great sword goes to swing it back around. You just dodge and move in the other direction and swing around and crack up across the face again. That's 10 damage on that one. 10 damage. And then I'm going to holster my quarter staff. Lower my plague, doctor mask, and try to hit him

with some unarmed blows. Ooh, yes. Flurry of blows? Yeah, Flurry of blows come, and I'm going to use a key point to use Hand of Harm, which is an extra D8. OK. First blow is only 16 for 17. 17 17 misses you go to swing on him

You see he just lowers his shoulder and eats it in the pull-drin you just punch metal Let's try it with harder that feel You know not perfect, but I'll try it with my right. That's a 22 to hit that super hits great And I'll use a hand of harm on that okay 19 damage let's go Let's go I turn and I wink at Jabari, but I'm wearing my plague doctor mask so we can't see it But just know that it has he looked at me. I don't I don't he looked at you about it I tried to see it and I really can't honestly I would I guess we

Ask Honestly, I guess we love Mask Oh As this dude turns around at a plague doctor mask and just stares forward Provigadian uses a legendary action to swing a great sword down on him so fucking hard Jibadi's focus It's 25 to hits and that's 26 damage. All right. He's good with the sword, everyone. He's good with the sword.

At initiative 20, that is the lair action. Here is how this battle is going to work. We are going to roll a contested D12 versus D12. This roll is between the humans and the undead. If the undead win, a number of zombie warriors will appear equal to the difference. So if the undead wins 10-6, 4 undead will appear around you guys. You guys won't have to take out each one. They will just be attacks that happen every single round.

If the humans win, they will pick off a number of undead equal to the difference. So human wins result in the picking off of zombies and keeping the battlefield clear undead wins lead to them growing in number. Their bonuses are decided by how much you guys want to help the humans. So they get plus one, if you want to donate an attack, like essentially attack like the Horde of Zombies, or a plus one per beneficial spell or ability. Got it.

I will also say, since we're not doing this in the traditional sense, Teragon, your spirit guardians, we'll have that count as a plus one, as a consistent while you keep concentration going, as a consistent, beneficial thing to the people around you. Because you see, yeah, there's zombies around you.

Yeah, that's why I called them was to try and fuck up some zombies. The Guardians are already like fighting, cutting down these phantom warriors and things like that. So just to get a good image, everywhere I go, there are smokey dragons fighting zombies. Whoa, hell yeah. Yes, smokey dragons fighting zombies whoa hell yeah yes smoke dragons are fighting everybody so while you have concentration they already get a plus one the

undead their modifier is going to be decided by new events every round I got something for the undead so let's go ahead and for this layer action go ahead and roll a contested D12 who wants to roll a D12 for the humans. I'll do it. Okay. Yes. I will roll mine. You guys get a plus one right now, the undead have a plus zero. Six.

Five plus one is six. That's a roll. That's zero. That's nothing. That's nothing. So no new zombies are brought into it. The two guards that Gideon brought up, as you guys entered the field, are going to get attacks, but that's it.

It's just going to be two attacks. So they will go after. I've got a cup full of dice in here, and they are color coded to see who the random attacks hit going after Tarragon and Jabari. Okay. The Tarragon one hits Tarragon you are slashed by a phantom warrior for 11 damage. Okay. You also see three of

You also see three of Wimers Knights, three undead knights on horseback. A couple of them have broken lances, begin charging across the town with reckless abandon towards the front lines here. And if those dudes make it there on horseback, they are just going to crash in and cause like, you know, untold chaos. That's going to add to the Undead's role.

You guys choose how you deal with that or if you just deal with Gideon. Jabari, that is your turn. Okay. I mean, okay. That's a lot to think about. Jabari, just go after Pravikideon. I think I have some stuff for the undead will regroup next turn.

Javari likes that plan. Javari is gonna run his hand along the edge of his own blade, cut his hand, grab his bow, whisper my blood for his, and cast Hex on Pra pocket giddy in giving him disadvantage on Constitution saving throws and adding a decent of the product. Oh hell yeah, my attacks again.

So Jay get in there with stunning strikes because he has this advantage on saves for that. And I will make two attacks against the profit giddy gets. Sweet. First one is going to be a 21 to hit 21 to hit hits Second one is going to be a 16 to hit 16 misses you see he swatts around you see as soon as it gets hit with the one arrow

He swings around and swatts the arrow away with an iron gauntlet I'll get him next time. So that's 1D8. I'll, I'll spend a key point for a death strike, 2D8, and then a D6 from the, uh, hex. Nice. 17 points of damage. Nice. Yeah. I think Tarragon hasn't heard Jabari say my blood for his in a while, and it's almost like, um, it's almost like hearing your favorite song that you haven't heard in a while Still slaps she like mouths along the last part of it with Jabari is still playing the hits Take a ride you see at the end of Jabari's turn The prophet Gideon smiles a big ghostly smile at Jabari's turn. The prophet Gideon smiles a big ghostly smile at Jabari. Hold his hand up,

clenches his fist, and uses a legendary action to summon another phantom warrior around him. You see he's got three. That is Terraghan's turn. Okay. I want to run in these phantom warriors are undead, right? Correct. I want to run in so that a profit gittian and these three phantom warriors all take my my spirit. The phantom warriors just count towards the layer actions. Well, I want to channel divinity turn undead. Oh, shits. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. And it's like, it's 30 feet, everyone 30 feet, or everyone that can hear you 30 within 30 feet of you. So I want to focus on getting these three guys.

Great. Provigating cannot be frightened, but these other guys are going to roll wisdom saves. First one gets a 10. What fails? Second one gets a five. F fails? Second one gets a 5. Fails. Third one gets a 16.

That is the save. So that one passes. Yeah. You see as Tarragon runs in glowing with holy energy. You see as soon as she gets near two of these Phantom Warriors, you see her Spirit Guardians, these Smoke Dragons, Breathe Fire, and you see two of these phantom warriors dissipate and are gone. Bye. And anyone who, and then prophigitian and anyone who is staying does a save or takes 19 damage.

19 radiant damage. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. prophigitian gets a 21. That saves. Other dude gets a 21. That saves. Other dude gets a 16. 16 is the save. On a successful save, they take half damage.

So that each take, I'm assuming you round down, nine, radiant. OK, that's how you use a damn turret. Terran at the end of your turn. Did you run right up to Gideon or just near him? You did. Right, I ran right up in the mix of them. Sweet. He's going to go ahead and take a legendary action to make it attack against you then. I was trying to get your attention. You successfully annoyed me. Are you blushing? Matt 20. What? Oh, no. I don't enjoy this. I don't enjoy it. And that's how you're gonna create on a lady. How dare you?

Just a nice woman who runs a plant shop. I treat you equally. You're gonna create, okay, there is that section. I'm also having a nice, you're gonna be on a botanist. I think you're perfectly capable. I actually, you know, I actually think that there should be more women in places of, you know, villainy. I actually think you should join us. You know, I don't disagree because when there's a villainous man, I can't be attracted to him, but when there's a villainous woman, I can, you know? He does 46 damage to you.

Oh, yeah, you can't be attracted to that at all. Oh, man. OK, so let me figure out, I haven't taken this much damn Chinata to a concentration check in a while. So I need to hit 46, I need to hit a 20 through with my concentration check, right? Yeah, correct. So I need to crit.

Ah! Let's do it. You just dead. That's crit. You're dead, that's crit. That's crit. It's a Tuesday, that's crit quit or Wednesday. Oh, I did it My spirit guardians go away. No, I said I didn't that was a very excited didn't

It was just so funny to see a seven and a 12 when I was hoping for a 20 So you guys see the smokey dragons a drop as Gideon delivers this staggering blow. I spit out bloody smoke and I say, okay, so that's what your attention feels like. Then that is Gideon's turn. Gideon is gonna go ahead and take three attacks on Terragom. My God. Okay. I really just think she's really strong and capable. So, I'm so scared. This may not be the minimum. Don't, don't grow and murve.

Two 28s and 23. One of the 28s hits. I'm just getting, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. 75 damage, Cherugan. Oh my god, I'm so down. Terrigan coughs up way more smoke, lands to her knees, and then falls forward onto her face.

You guys see Terrigan goes down. Alright. After Prophet Gideon, Corbo, that is your turn. So Terri is lying in the heat by Prophet Gideon's feet. Correct. Okay. I am going to take both my attacks on Prophet Gideon. Okay. And then, well, I got a plan for you. Don't worry, Terri. Oh, I'm not worried. I am. I'm not worried. I'm unconscious. Oh, I'm not worried. I am. I'm not worried, I'm unconscious.

I'm nothing. That is a 28 and a 21 to hit on my attacks. You hit on both. So 19 damage. Okay. And then I'm going to use a key point to flurry of blows. One of those hands, let's call it my right. I'm gonna un-gloove it and just sort of pat Terry

and that's gonna be healing a hand of mercy. Okay. For nine hip points to Terry. Okay. I am getting way too used to your mercy. Yeah, well it's always gonna be here for you, but I hope you don't need it again. And then I am gonna take with my left just a slap,

it'll get in, and that is a 22 to hit. That hits. Tarragon has just been knocked down. He's just like swung and cut through her. You roll in front of her with one healing palm, slam it to her and jolt her back to life. And with the other arm, go for like an upper cut on Gideon.

Yeah, that's 100% what I did. You're like touching your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. Multi-tastic. And I'm gonna use a key point to try to make one of those melee attacks a stun in strike on Gideon. So he's got a roll DC-16. DC-16 and he's rolling with disadvantage.

Okay, I will tell you guys, he has a plus-9 to con saving throws. Okay, you could still fucking fail. You could still fail. Disadvantaged because of Hex? Disadvantaged. The Hex way. That's a 15. You success. Oh, stop the topic, a 15. You success.

Oh, stop the topic, Gideon. Hell yeah. Only because of hacks. Needed some good news today. Yeah, here it is. That's huge too, because that means no fucking legend. No legend, yes. No legend, yes.

Wow, you know what, turning on dead was a waste of time. I should have just stunned this motherfucker. I look at propaganda and like with Poliri, I just woke up from being unconscious eyes, and they just like, my little irises, just like zero in on him. Zzz. Did she just blink the wrong way?

You see his legs look super wobbly, and he goes, it's soon as I get my legs back under me, you're done. He's stunned. That is a good thing. It's an good thing. Here's a very bad thing. There's three undead knights with their lances out. Just on undead horses just recklessly slam into the front line of humans. You hear Raynard yelling, keep the line. Don't let the breakthrough. your rain art yelling, keep the line, don't let the breakthrough. Guys, go ahead and roll me a D12, they get a plus six this time. I hate this. That's a six. They got a

10 plus two for each night that got through CC 10 ghosts. Oh, dear pop up. So that means there are 11 total. So there are going to be 11 attacks during this layer action here. We'll do four attacks on Teragon, four attacks on Corbo and three attacks on Jabari. Oh, no. These dudes are not as good as Gideon, obviously. These dudes are low wini guys. So Jabari, you suddenly have three of these like, rates around you swinging down on you with spectral swords. One hits, only five damage.

Mm. Okay. Next, four go after Corbo, Corbo, you are swarmed by all of these undead Phantom Warriors only one hit all right And that is also five damage to you cool a tarragon you are swarmed by four Phantom Warriors mm-hmm you are hit twice You are hit for ten and for five for fifteen Back down you guys see Tarragon drops. What?

I say what? I say what? You guys also see on this layer action, you see two undead centaurs emerge from the fires of the town. You see they've got grievous mortal wounds that should have downed them. Now filled up with coagulated blood. You see they pull out bows and aim up for some kind of magical volley of arrows. You see they are charging for some type of magical attack. It looks like they're concentrating

on something that will go off next round. So if you'd like, you can try to break their concentration. Oh, fuck you, Merv, all we're going to do is go after Gideon. Stop trying to distract us with little toys. That is Jabari's turn. Jabari, you see, Gideon is just seeing stars right now. I hate this. I'm rattled. He hit me right on the button. He hit me on the button. Well, for sure, Jabari will sharpen the blade on his bow,

pull his bow out. You guys do see, by the way, your attacks on Prophet Gideon have hurt him. He does not look like he's on Death's Door, but he is, you know, he's seeing stars. He's got a couple arrows in him. He's taking a couple hard shots. He is nowhere near full health.

He's stunned. You'll get advantage on all your attacks against him. That's true. Is it advantage on all attacks? Okay. Every single one. Well, I mean, we got a sharp in the blade. Is it advantage? Yeah. On all attacks? Wow. Every single one. I mean, we got a sharpen the blade.

We got to even surrounded with everything in Tarragon going down. Faris is going to pull out his bow. Her last word was what? Yes. Put that on our tombstone. Remember. Jabari thinks of Tarragon's last words and whispers to himself, this would be the answer. And it's going to, I'll fire on the profit, Gideon with advantage, sharpsuiter, so minus five,

12, minus five is seven. Okay. 25, hits. And the first one, a 26. Hits, so. Nice. Two hits, that's 2d8, that's 2d8 That's 2d6. I'll spend key points on both of them to make them both deshright adding another set of d8's

Plus 20 damage already that's a lot of that's a lot of I remember you're all is gonna be middle age and that's gonna be 43 damage on the profit and that's going to be 43 damage on the profit. Yeah! Whoa! Oh! Yeah! Gee! Looks hurt. You hit Arrow directly in the neck of his ghost head.

You see it sticks there, and you get another one like under the breastplate, like where's ribs would be. And you see Stagger's back and lets out a grunt. Looks pretty hurt. Jabari full on Vest is off. Take in the Vest. Jabari full on Vest the Vest fall as he prepares to do it again. You hear whoops from the humans who are all cheering. Jabari the Safari the Vest is off. Yes, yes, it is time for the ride. You're here for a ride.

You're a serenade going, if Jabari is going shirtless, it means you must hold the line! The idea, when we go on Jabari, the Safari, and then talk about his best, it makes me think of one of those photographers' bests that has a ton of pockets all over it. Oh yeah. There's lots of nicknacks in there. That is Terragons turn. Terragon, go ahead and give me a death saving throw. 18. 18 passes. You see that is the

profit Gideon's turn. Profit Gideon is super hurt, but is not able to do anything that turn because of the stun, but you see he gets his legs back under him, takes a steady stance and steadies his sword, and looks at you, Corbone goes, you're gonna die for that one. Yeah, good, stance still so I can hit you again. Yeah. And Corbone, that is your turn. All right.

I'm gonna take both gloves off. Yes, yes, Corbone, both gloves. I'm actually gonna rub my knuckle on the on the hard ground to draw blood Oh, look at your bar and look back at propaganda and say my blood for yours And I'll take both my tax you hear the toads in the back go Corbos getting back into it. He's getting back into it. Yes he is. Stay dry. He's all in. Stay dry tones. There you go.

Hold the line. And it sounds like she says my blood for years. But it might just be a death rattle. Is that a death rattle or is he saying something inspirational? That is a 21 and a 20. Jesus. Both hit.

Both hit. 17 damage. Still alive. Extremely hard. And then I get one attack, but it's only an 18, so I don't think I'm gonna hit. 18 does hit. Wow. I do. Yes. That is my max damage. That's a 13 on that hit. Okay. I'm gonna use a key point to use hand to harm. Okay. Which is a D8 plus 4. Is he that close or should I be using a stunning strike?

Corbo, with your last strike, you feel this fire inside of you, a reminder of the violence of the hexbloods. What do you do with your last strike? This one's for my buds. I'm taking you on a ride. I'm gonna try to hit him. Okay. Oh fuck yeah. Come on. It's not, it's 12. Corbo. Finish him. I think I want to grab profighity and buy both of his shoulders and say, you know what? This is going to feel, and then right as I'm giving my speech, Lake just jumps up and bites his ghost head off of his face.

Yeah, you see, Lake does her like blink dog thing and goes right through his face. You see, there is this boom, as his ghost disperses. You see his armor, dense in, and you see profighitian falls to the ground. Damn it, Lake, I was gonna do a really cool suit. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right, good girl, good girl. So here's what I will say. like I was gonna do a really cool stage. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, can clear out the undead otherwise your forces have been overtaken. So you see on the layer action you see these two undead centaurs do manage to get up their magical volley of arrows and you see explosions go off amongst the lines of fighters here. You see a couple dudes in

armor like fly off horses and fly back as As a bunch of zombies are crawling over the line and killing people, guys, go ahead and roll me a D12. All right, I'll roll this one. Seven. Only a nine. So two more pop up. Great. Just two more ghosts.

There are 13 of these ghosts around you guys. Like fucking flies. Seven on Corbo, six on Jabari. Lucky number seven. Oh my God. Seven 20s. Oh my God, yes. No hits on Jabari.

Oh my God. Jabari just super speed, just full explode mode, just dodging out of the way anime style as all these spectral swords slash at him. Uh-oh! That is six going after Corbo here. Three hits on Corbo. 20 damage total.

Alright. During the lair action, you see this next thing that is about to go up against the humans here. You see two... They're called fraggules. You see these two zombie monsters whose muscles are expanding to superhuman strength, just unnatural surges of adrenaline, bounding across the battlefield like a cheetah.

You know these things will explode quickly and cause a ton of damage. They are hard to hit because of their insane temporary dexterity boost, but if you hit them once they pop. So if you can hit them before they get to the line, they will break. Alright. That is Jabari's turn. You see, you just got to hit him once. Just got to hit him once, but there's two of them. Great. Jabari will go for the frag ghouls. Sweet. Pasta frag ghoul. Let's get saucy.

First one is going to be a, that's going to be a 21 to hit. That does not hit. You see, wow. Arrow goes past them. They're fast as hell. Just all of the adrenaline. OK, OK. Second one.

That is going to be a net one. Oh, you see, w-w-w-w-w-w-w. Jabari after dodging all these tries to steady himself, Frag will get past him, keeps going. And then can I, can we attack the ones that are just around us? Will that lower the,

You can, yeah, you can like, if you just say that you attack them, that will add numbers to the humans. I'll spend a key point attacking the ones around me. Sweet, that will give plus one to the humans. That is Terragons turn. Terragons go ahead and give you a death saving throw. Two.

Two, that's a fail. You see Terragons starts to cough up blood. Gideon is down, that is back up to you, Corbo. You see, these two ghouls are rushing forward. They are going to blow up on the humans. You see, Terragon is down here struggling. I'm gonna use my action for a hand of healing and bring Terria up for nice 12th

that's the most I could possibly do. Terria gonna wakes up coughing smoke and again says what? Yeah, my dog ain't getting in. You see, yeah, Lake is just sitting there. I'm ripping at the armor like it's a bone. Am I close enough to those guys to try to punch them to pop them? Yeah, you can make an attack against them, use your movement.

All right, cool. So I'll do, I'll use a Flurry of Blows and try to punch one of them. AC-22. That should do it. 24. Sweet. Corbo, you punch one. You see it flies back from the force of your punch,

instantly expands and explodes and takes out like the beam of a fucking house and starts going down. You see there is one more that is still going towards the line. So I can punch that guy with my second flurry. Yeah, if you've got a second one, go ahead. Shout out to the two crew. Okay, that one gets by you and keeps going.

You see that one explodes as it latches on to the front lines here. You see a bunch of the footmen go down, but new ones take their place and put up their shields. They try to fight. Terragon, why don't you roll the D12 against the zombies this time? And we've got a plus one from one from Jabari I think. Okay, four plus one, five. They got a four plus three, seven. So another two, 14 attacks. We'll do five, five on Jabari, five on Corbo, and four on Terragone. One hit on Jabari, 11 damage, two hits on Corbo, only 10 damage with two hits. Guy. And then, Terraghan. Come on.

One hits, six damage. Still standing. Terraghan stays up. And you guys see these undead centaurs, you guys see they load up arrows and quickly release you see the arrows are glowing they explode into Three smaller arrows for six arrows total If you guys would like to try to catch them it is 15 damage to stop each arrow you could try to catch multiple ones if you'd like Yeah, let's go jibari jibari is gonna jump off of Whatever's nearby getting the air and take a few sweet

And we have a minimum of 16 so I can at least catch one I've a minimum of one and I can I spend a key point to throw it back? Yeah, I'll blow a key point to throw one of these explode heroes back at the center sweet You catch one. I'm gonna give it to you straight. I did not deflect it. I rolled my to reduce it and I didn't reduce it to zero. Got it. Okay.

So I got three plus 11. So I still take one damage. Okay. But at least a person didn't take it. It eats it. So that does not go through. Jabari catches one and throws it back. That's gonna give a plus one to the humans.

Corbo, are you gonna try to stop any? Yeah, I'm gonna try to do one too. I got a plus 17. Okay. But I only rolled a one. That's an 18. Okay, so you stopped one. Do you wanna throw a back or anything? Yeah, I'd love to spend a key point and chuck it back at the fucking worst. Okay, that is going to, um, catching, stopping three of them and throwing two of them back is just going to give plus one to the undead next round. to catching, stopping three of them and throwing two of them back

is just going to give plus one to the undead next round. So you guys can potentially start taking out some of these ghosts and start taking the battlefield back. All right. That is Jabari's turn. I give both my attacks and then I give both my flurry of blows. That'll be plus four. Sweet, Jabari, you run up and you join the line

that was just decimated by these exploding dudes and you stand there with the toads. Looking dry, sir. Yes, that's kill. Sweet, that is Terrogon's turn. I guess I'll do the same thing. It seems like, so I'll just give, however many, I have all my key points.

So that's another plus four That is Corbos turn. Yeah, I'm gonna go up and I'm gonna pick up one of the shields of somebody who who fell in the explosion With the guy that I let through and say let's hold this line together Toads hold and remember don't be shy about saying when you need water you're not you don't have to be dry It's not a requirement. We don't have to be dry You don't you should be hydrated. No Skeletal eyes don't be dry when you could be high Dreaded toes are amphibious. They even toes are supposed to be wet. I don't even understand the logic

I'm the tenant pray thing goes please don't confuse them now. It's not the time I'm the one that's fucking enlightening then How many how many attacks can you give I have two attacks and then I'll use can I use a key point and give my bonus action as well? Yeah, so four another four okay, so we we added we added 12 you guys also throwing them back gave one each so you add 14 to this D12 So go ahead and roll me a D12 Eight over here Okay, so you see it is slow going but you guys Hexbloods in the front the reason they're called Hexpleds and Turians Is because they're supposed to be as good as a hundred warriors

So you guys join the line and begin taking out some of these phantoms Fort what do we said 15 minus eight so you guys take out Seven of these warriors that were making attacks every turn. That's half. That is almost half of them. There are eight left. They are going to split up their attacks. Two Terragons, two Corbo, three Jabari. I deserve it. I deserve it. Two Terragons. Two TerragGons miss. Two Corbos miss. Three Jabaris. One hit. 11 damage Jabari.

Oh no. Yeah, you guys can, if you guys want to just keep adding it, we can just do the next roll if you guys want. I think it's another 12. Sweet, do you guys have key? Enough key to. Yeah, I got it. We keep points left.

You guys are super flush with key. It's weird because Jets saved this. I think it's another 12 sweet. Do you guys have key enough key to yeah, I got Key points left you guys are super flush with key weird because death saves don't actually take any key That is plus 12 to your role go ahead and give me another D12 guys I'm you see the line starts instead of just trying to hold continues to move forward shield wall as these undead zombies and stuff are like Trying to get through some are getting like trampled by the front line soldiers guys go ahead and roll your D12 Uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Nine Nine plus there you go 12 9 plus 12 is 21 You guys successfully defeat the undead

You guys Completely surround the remaining ones Profit Gideon is not there to keep bringing people back up you guys finished off the last of the zombies, and you guys see, you have these four lines that were creating this square that were like coming into box in these undead, have now gotten close enough that everybody looks around and kind of sees that they've won, and everyone's baffled and confused

against this like super natural thing. Um, they look at you guys, the said, Can I shout your all hex blood centurions now? I go ahead and give me a persuasion check with advantage. Uh, that's an 18 on the dice. Okay. We got with a 725. Um, you hear just one, but you see people are a little confused. You see here one dude in the back just goes

I heard that technically a hex blood can make a hex blood so she's right and you just you're a roar Cheers go up people begin Just celebrating out in the town just This this victory against the undead, this attempt to create this army has been stopped. But guys, go ahead and give me a perception check. Oh, no. Also, Jabari's openly weeping.

The idea that they are now more hex floods. They just, the idea that we're, like, there's, is it truly like an emotional moment? We grow in numbers. Yeah, I've just like kind of took my eyes and I point two people towards like the nearest tavern and I just say wheel out any kegs that they have in there to the death square. That's a dirty 20 perception. Okay, that's a nine for terror. It's only a 12.

I still have blood in the bile of death in my eyes. Um, see, for Terraghan, she's at a bite. You guys catch out of the corner of your eye around all these people celebrating. You see the dented, de-animated armor of Prophet Gideon begins to twitch and you see a light blue glow coming from where his head used to be. And that's where we'll end our session. Wow. Fuck. Don't eat too much.

Joy, our victory. No. Let us roleplay the revelry. Yeah, let us role play the revelry. I'm sorry. We had to bring the cake out. Yeah, exactly. That's how to hot tub earlier today, okay?

Yeah, only one tub per sash. We did get some mermaids. We get some mermaid timings. But let's role play the revelry on the short rest this week. Yeah, good job. Just like 10 minutes of coreboat getting drunk in a tavern. Yeah. If we can do that. Sweet guys, yeah.

You can head on over to our patreon.com slash nad pod. That's n-a-d-d-d-p-o-d. Don't sing yet. We'll sing over there. Lots of reverberate happening over on the short rest. I think it's tarragon just gets like weepy drunk and just keeps saying like, you know, sometimes you do the damage, other times you take it.

Jeffrey S. Halder Frostback, Steel, Breaker, and Matt M. The winners of the Bright Leap Army's annual Dry T-shirt competition, as they reward these little dry toads were given a fun-sized dissonny bottle to split six ways between them. Oh my god, and Dylan B. Taurus on a cross-country trip to see every grove in Elder Morn. No one knows how they keep finding their way in, but these travelers always tip well and

have plenty of granola to share, so no one's complaining. There you go, stay friendly folks. Shubrit the mushroom, Danielle the Dastardly Dame, Andrew M, Beardman Dan and Scott D, a team of explorers who ventured into Terrogun's dimple in order to find out how deep it is.

Oh my goodness, just as much as he does, Claw and Fang. I'd love the Rocket Launcher the most. Andrew B. Justin I. T.J. M. The No. Barbarian, Elena M. Treylay the Cray Faye, and Jared E. Audience members who attended Corbo's first TED talk. The topic was listening is the new speaking and half of it was just Corbo trying and failing to tune a guitar. Sounds about right. Christopher B, Austin, Bonesaw, MR, Damial R, Cyborg version of Josh the Cobalt and OctoLick, other royal relatives seeking claims to the throne. they all have titles like The Could Be King,

The Maybe Queen, and The Kind of Sort of Prince, which speaks pretty clearly to their chance of succeeding. Yeah. Gage M.

Wow, invite me next time. Samuel B, Mike H. Matthew E. Colton B. and Adam G. Corbos' slap senses. They worked long and merciless hours honing that slap. That slap, slap, slap, slap, slap the war pool, which is actually pretty logical considering there's usually a lot more people in a war than can fit in a tub. Actually, yeah, that makes sense

that if it's a giant size, my goodness gracious. Dan, Nikki W, Grace G, and Drew Nasty. Terragons, Spirit Guardians, sure they weren't around long, but imagine the damage they could have done. There's a reason Gideon focused fire on these nasty dragon ghosts, you better believe. CC Lulu, Jay, Barnes and Nader, and Michelle O, a group of toads that was getting lunch when everything went down and are livid, they aren't honorary hexbloods. Dang.

Wimers, foot soldiers who stayed behind to fight the undead, they're not heroes, they just slept through the first part of the battle and woke up to a zombie in their tent. What are you going to do? Karin T, Justin Raccoon, Nick W, and Michael C, the production team behind Toads Soads, a reality show about dry foot soldiers.

Test audiences wondered why the Toads needed to be dry and no one ever gave them a straight answer. I hope the show fails and I hope you guys take a soak and drink a pint of water. As may M. Spartan, Nathen, Kazmier, the all-knowing and big bad beard of the mat, a crew of rowdy friends who were having a birthday party at a bar in Pearl Hill.

Nero, Claudius, Cesar, Augustus,

Dermanicus, and Christian A. Henry Hoggfish's sparring partners, they eventually stopped approaching him at the gym because he apologized every time he blocked a shot and was really just bumming everybody out. Yeah, you know, that's kind of Henry's vibe. J. Dragonborn, the Sandrane, Ben Afe, and Fel Dennis, the only warriors who train more and sleep less than Jabari. They aren't hexbloods though, so they're just super tired and sore all the time. Let's hope they are never called into battle, and let's hope they never become toads because you prepare that stuff with a lack of water, and it's just, it's no good.

Dave H. Catherine S. David K. Christian S. Keith Kay and Brittany B. Little Toad Stool people who are said to give the best hugs at the Grove. They will be the Hexbud's greatest foe. Oh my god.

Ding. Pork Chop, Chanel M. Argent Alice, Minette F. Patel, and Acquita A. Mom's other children. She always dots on them, which just seems nice, but nip-yulioff a little move to make the hex-puds feel inadequate. So it's super fucked up. Lauren H, Josh D, Janina E, Maddy Y, Alex H, the eldest Barry and Ryan S, members of the cavalry who were also thinking about punching their commander in the head before Corbo came over and did it for him.

Good on you guys, though, for thinking about it. The bone duster, Joshua H, Robert Chris Eadraisal, and Brent Lee C, Zombie Centars who were firing arrows but in life, they were such noble creatures with good hearts that every once in a while their souls were able to will their bodies to miss on purpose. Thank you dear friends. Mike could be Carly and Jorge C. Conner's savage.

Yes, you don't have to be actual frogs. K, so say, Lindsay W, Adam C, Carlin C, Anthony S, and Sally S, tattoo artists already working on designing some absolutely sick additions to Jabari's

Hellscape Chesapeas. Sally is actually just pitching that they add an of zombies to fill in all of Jabari's back. You know, just go the full way around and it sounds rad to me. Tristan C. Jake Andy, Orrin C. Emily S. And Ember K.

Sprites that witness Jabari body slam Corbo before bed and just flew around Corbo's eyes a lot, making sure he didn't pass out until he recovered, and then he went to sleep, which is, that's the way to do it. So thank you, thank you, thoughtful friends, and thank you, benevolent counsel of elders. That was a hit-gun podcast.
