Whoa, whoa, whoa, Corbo the crow! I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:02:09 I'm sorry, what? I just wrote a quick theme song for Corbo. Rote is loosely used there. I don't know if that sounded improvised, it wasn't. Okay. Well, let's pretend it was. Then of course we've got with another written song Emily Axford actually no I made I stood firm that I was gonna do another
Starting point is 00:02:35 Acro-Crosstic this week so I'm a you at least sing it okay to to to terraforming agro-terra-res Terraforming, agrotarious, robust, rose mommy, arable, gardener, a different, nursery, yonder. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, God's name for this. That's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, much better than mine.
Starting point is 00:02:55 These all have quasi-rescue rangers theme, because it's a memory of the old. Well, that's it. It's kind of like rescue rangers, so that's why I tried to go for that. Just ch-ch-ch-it ch bandel, yeah, totally. And then with a picture, perfect, a parody of the rsq ranger theme is
Starting point is 00:03:12 Lou Wilson, who is probably too young for that show. Lou Wilson. Jump far, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, bar, re, j j, a, b, a, r, i, Jabari! J.J.A. B-A-R! I... Jabari! The Safari!
Starting point is 00:03:31 Jabari! Jabari, the Safari has been canceled on Fox Kids, everybody. Oh, come on! Nobody watched Fast and Thievesong. The best part about that at the end you raised your eyebrows in the most vulnerable look I've ever seen. You know I couldn't decide where to like draw the line of like we could just we what if we I was like because when before you did it I was like I'm just gonna go off and we'll sing my own song and then you kind of hit the rescue Rangers thing and I was like well
Starting point is 00:04:02 you know we'll figure it out but then Murf gave me the out of being too young to recognize the rescue Ranger. So I was like, let's just do it. Yeah, I mean, we're all adults now, but that like five years when you're young, that's a huge difference. That you'll miss all of rescue Rangers in that time. It's a great, great to see you.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Go straight to tailspin. Yeah. I missed, I'm Yugio and Pokemon and a Shaolin Showdown. Oh, hell yeah. Wow. I was watching Pokemon, but I was too old for it. But I watched it anyway. I watched Pinky in the brain, but when I was an adult,
Starting point is 00:04:38 I watched reruns of it every single morning before work at my first job. And you know, it holds up. All right, everybody, let's go ahead and get into a little recap. So last week, you guys interrogated the dying prophet Gideon in Pearl Hill. He warned you that you were on the wrong side
Starting point is 00:04:56 and that fighting for anyone other than the Reaper was meaningless. Suddenly, a stranger appeared and warned you to burn his body before he could regenerate. After Tarragon did so with her dragon breath, the stranger revealed herself as Cajron of the Cindersworn, an imperial containment group that uses fire to stop the spread of undead. Joining Cajron in her war tent, you learned that the Empire was quietly backing Wimers
Starting point is 00:05:22 claim to the throne after the petty king at Thurston Brightleap went rogue and began following Moxora. Kaderon believed that now that Moxora had played her hand in Pearl Hill, it would be safe for them to burn down Jackalope Keep in Heronford. You expressed concern for the innocence behind the castle walls and Kaderon offered to help you evacuate them. After some discussion, you agreed and were teleported near a sewer grate, where Caderon began crafting a teleportation circle. The three of you snuck around, warning various soldiers, nobles and laborers until, eventually,
Starting point is 00:05:59 clearing out the first floor of the castle. Curiously, you did not detect a response from the second floor, so went to investigate. There, you saw a pool of blood going unnoticed by two guards, very alarming. When Jabari recognized the stench of death, he went to draw his bow, but the guards suddenly leapt into action, revealing themselves as rotting zombies as they pounced. A lumbering monster of a King's guard began making his way down the hall, wielding a blood-soaked blade, and that's where we are now. Alright. Hot start! Hot start today! So you are in this dark hallway, just outside of the King's quarters, on the second floor
Starting point is 00:06:47 of the castle. These two zombies that are faster than the ones you've seen before are lunging for you, and this lumbering monster is making his way down the hall. But before you can even loose your bow, Jabari, you guys see the King, thirst and bright leap, unnaturally fast, moving like a rath almost. Do you see some like necrotic energy coming from him? He jumps out from the doorway of the King's chambers and gets between you and the undead. He holds his hands up to them and they stop standing completely still. Their chests not even moving to breathe.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Their unfeeling muscles never tiring, never flinching. As he stands between you guys and the undead, you see he turns to you and he holds his hands up to you as well. You see he looks young and strong, jet black beard and hair. He's got a gold crown. He looks like ready for battle. He's got blackened plate on with red and gold ornamentation.
Starting point is 00:07:54 He's got a huge two handed mace at his side. And you see he looks at you with your bow drawn, Jabari, and he goes, stop this. We all fight for outer burrow. Are you Cravens? Jabari is not Craven. Jabari believes he has proven that many times. But Jabari believes King that you no longer fight for out to borrow. Somebody believes you fight for Maksora. What I'm fighting for is so much greater than Maksora. She left the castle not long ago. She and Kane. After the mess at Pearl Hill, she's seen fit
Starting point is 00:08:38 to pursue other ways of achieving our goals. I stayed because I believe there is still good in you. I believe you can help us. Help you, what? You see he motions for you to follow him and you see he enters his chambers. Do we, are we walking? Are we going to go? I think let's make a little circle with our backs to each other so no one can sneak up on us. And then sort of scuttle like a crab across the ocean floor into his chambers. A classic formation of the experts.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Initiate crab. You guys link up arms for me, a triangle all facing out, and scuttle your way into the King's chambers. A move we've done a thousand times before. It's crazy the way that you fall back into old formations, right? It feels so natural. I mean, it's natural. I feel my shoulders against yours. Like riding a bike. You guys see as you pass by the two zombies and the horror,
Starting point is 00:09:44 they just continue staring forward They were told to stop and they just stop and you guys enter the chambers It is completely dark in here. It seems inhuman To for somebody to be staying in here all of the candles are out the fireplace is cold It's dark in here and the windows are open blowing in cold air. You hear the creaking of ancient wood as the posts of his old bed gently rocks with the wind. You see the king stands near the open window and he looks out and he goes, they call us the prophets because the Reaper speaks through us.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Whatever else you've heard is lies, trickery. Am I the same as I was before? No. I have power. I have focus. I am no longer conflicted. But doing that ritual, I made the choice to return. But doing that ritual, I made the choice to return. And so did the other prophets. You see, he turns and he faces you guys. And again, he looks like he did when he was younger. He doesn't look like a monster, but there is a little something unnatural about the way he moves. The sort of necrotic whispers that he talked about is that when he moves or is that just always around him?
Starting point is 00:11:06 That it's it's less around him when he's not moving. It looks like it's something that He can kind of control. It's almost like your dragon wings. Terragon He's kind of he's kind of in a way gotten what he always wanted when he was younger And he was looking up to you guys on the battlefield, he always wanted to be kind of this like, unnaturally gifted warrior. And now he is that. What did you come back to do? Do you have a mission or a purpose?
Starting point is 00:11:36 I do. I finally have a purpose. I no longer just fight for out of bro. We fight for all of eldermore. Moxura's ritual allowed me to face the Reaper without facing his judgment to hear his divine word. It is no secret that he has long blamed humanity for harboring the trickster on the mortal plane, but he has always judged us fairly in death despite this, until recently. The Reaper has become aware of an imposter among us.
Starting point is 00:12:12 The Trickster has godly progeny hidden away in the great groves, but there is one posing as a mortal who chose to live and die as one of us. When that child grew old and passed, the trickster was somehow able to mask the truth from the Reaper's judgment, and their soul was sent back into the cycle to be reincarnated. So, like a divine child?
Starting point is 00:12:41 Somebody who has the blood of the gods, yes. When the Reaper learns that there was a god amongst the mortals, he was angry and vowed never to let another soul pass into reverie until the child was found and delivered to him for true judgment. And I agreed to help him for the sake of humanity. All right, so I think I understand the problem. It just feels like there's two different solutions. Right now you're searching for the, you're searching for the child,
Starting point is 00:13:15 but the other, the other idea is that we could reason with the Reaper. We could change the Reaper's mind. You see, he looks scared and T shakes his head. And this is the first, everything you've seen about this dude since he came back, it was just all of the bravado of his youth. There are elements about him that are the same, but it's all just strength, passion, like all of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:13:44 There's no doubt. When you bring up, changing the Reaper's mind, you see he looks frightened for a second. Are you Craven? Am I Craven? No, but I'm not crazy. If you saw what I saw, if you knew the power that he held, it doesn't matter what he asks of us.
Starting point is 00:14:03 This is the one God that stands between us and heaven. The gatekeeper. We suffer here because of one soul, because of one person, or because of one God. So we suffer because of one God and you want to help that God out. What? What does this have to do with want? I don't want any of this. I want salvation I have faced my mortality. I have grown old and been ready to rest But there is none Not until he is appeased There is one God with power here. We are pawns playing his game the faster we can get out of the game
Starting point is 00:14:45 The better it doesn't matter if we think it's right Can I do an insight check if this is Truly honestly coming from the king I once knew or if this is just a very articulate puppet show Go ahead and give me a insight check. Okay, that is a 16 a 16 this this guy clearly does not have complete control over himself Like he really looked up to you guys and this idea that like you can't reason with him at all is strange But you have no reason to believe that he's lying about
Starting point is 00:15:26 Deciding to come back. It's almost as if what you can kind of deduce probably happened is that he faced the Reaper, he made the decision to come back as one of his like thralls essentially. And now here he is, and there are elements of his old personality here, but you can see like he, if you were talking to this guy and you were talking about just like, you know, quarterly politics or something like that, you would see he would look torn, or he would look upset, or he would, and you are just talking to somebody who has made up their mind. Whenever, even when you say like, are you Craven, he's just, you know, it doesn't affect his ego. It's just like, no, I'm not Craven.
Starting point is 00:16:09 This is how it is, period. This is someone who is completely sure of themselves in a way that is, frankly, not human. King, I understand your drive. I do, I see it. And I want to acknowledge that I think you're coming from a good place, but I, even as a follower of the elder, if I never attained reverie, it was only ever
Starting point is 00:16:30 supposed to be an ideal that taught me to be a better person. And I've been to a grove, and it is a beautiful place. I think it's probably the closest thing to reverie though we have an elder mourn so it's difficult to think of uh you know letting the Reaper have his way with some of what I've seen but maybe this is why fate brought us all together again this maybe this is why you brought me back what better hunters are there than the hexplates who better to do grim work for the greater good? You're right about I saw the crab walk the crab walk was awesome The other we do a four-way crab and we go through a scurry
Starting point is 00:17:30 Yeah, we start burning down all these grooves. We just go through get across any surface. Well, that's not well Yeah, I um, you know, I I can't speak for all of the hex bloods, but I, uh, I'll confess that I'm not totally on board. What are you talking about? Yeah, tell you what, we're, we are the right people for the job, but the job that you're describing is not the job that we're trying to accomplish. Does that make sense? When you've been around as long as us, you learn how to say no to jobs. You know, you don't take every job.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Yes. Jabadi cannot help but say, King, you did not see profit, giddy and in the field and what he chose to do. The profit was murdering anyone he could to raise soldiers for the Reaper. And Anyone he could to raise soldiers for the Reaper and again, Jabadi is deeply in love with the idea of grim work, but that is not the nature of the work we do. I knew what Gideon was doing. Gideon was a true soldier of Outerboro. Okay. Jabadi begs to differ. If you will not help me, there are dozens, maybe over a hundred honored hexbloods buried in the royal crypt below this place.
Starting point is 00:19:00 You will not turn our brothers and sisters against us. Yeah, however sick that may be. Jopari is going to put his hand on his bow and pull an arrow back still down, but pull an arrow back a quarter of the way. I'm a considering just going for a bane on this fucker. I mean, King Git cannot be that way. If that's his short intention. I have the power of a god on my side. Who are you to stop me?
Starting point is 00:19:31 Who are any of you to stop me? Where are your heroes when you were a kid? And now, I am a prophet. I'll go ahead and roll initiative. Let's do it. All right. 17. 11. 11.
Starting point is 00:19:46 8. Okay, so Jabari, as you go and knock and arrow, you see he grabs his two handed mace at initiative 20. It is on baby. That is the layer action. The first thing that happens, you see lightning fast, the strange like rate energy around him, he spins his mace, gets into like a fighting position
Starting point is 00:20:12 but then holds his hand out. Jabari, you see emerging from a black and gray void behind you, you look over your shoulder, you see a casket appears, it opens and you see a bright white light as it attempts to pull you in, go ahead and give me a dexterity saving throw. Walking, rad, she, that's it. Oh, get in the casket. That's gonna be a 21.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Oh, a 21. You absolutely are able to resist it. Okay, a 21. You absolutely are able to resist it. Okay, thank God. Jabari, you are pulled back by some kind of crazy negative energy towards it. You're able to essentially do a split and have both feet on both sides of the caskets and able to hop away with like a powerful lunge
Starting point is 00:21:03 using your hex blood abilities. You see the casket snaps shut and disappears. At an initiative 18, Corbo, that is you. Nobody takes Jabari on a ride. No. I am the driver of the safari. Who's in this room? It's just us and the king.
Starting point is 00:21:23 It's just you guys in the king. The zombies and stuff out in the hall have not Acted yet. All right. Well, I'm just gonna try something Just for flavor. I'm gonna take my Studded quarter staff and chuck it really hard against a wall like a boomerang and then hit the king with my fist I see you to pull out your weapon and then just do something else Now I know where I learned it. I don't know if I have a weapon, but I have mastered it 21 to hit 21
Starting point is 00:21:54 Wood hits but he's going to go ahead and use Perry Use his reaction to add for to his AC. You see he blocks, he swings the hammer back around and cracks your hand as it gets close. Spins his mace around. All right, well my staff's still knocking around the walls. I'm gonna take another attack. That's not gonna hit either, that's a not 18 to hit. You go to swing back around.
Starting point is 00:22:20 You're used to having to take it easy on this dude when he was younger so that he wouldn't get super frustrated being this like, you know, sort of entitled 20-something dude who's trying to show off in front of the other nights and things like that. And now he is inhumanly fast. You see, he dodges out of the way and just clubs you in the back with his fist as you go to try to hit him. You really ain't the same king, are you? I'm gonna use a key point and take a Floria blows on him. Sweet. That is a Nat 20.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Holy shit! You guys, ha ha ha! No, I'm not. I'm a whole new ballerah! Go back around with an uppercut. 19 damage. We love to see that. As I land that final blow, I hold my hand up and I catch the staff. That's what I was hoping for.
Starting point is 00:23:09 It was really going to suck if I didn't hit once and had to catch it. A long walk to get to that, but I get what you were going for. After your turn, that is the Petty King's turn. He is going to go ahead and take some cracks at take two cracks at Corbo here. First one is a 19 to hit. That is my AC that hits. Second one is only a 15 to hit. So hits on the first one cracks you across the back for 17 damage, spins the giant mace around and almost appears below you Again sort of like going translucent and turning into a rate swinging back up Are you able to dodge out of the way Jesus?
Starting point is 00:23:53 That is Terragons turn. I'm gonna go ahead and I'm just gonna try to fucking hit him sweet. Yeah I knew finally all of my training is paid off! Haha! Two exploits at once! 21 to hit? Fuck! That is. Ah!
Starting point is 00:24:12 That's going to be seven damage and I'm going to use a key point to try to stun him. What does he do? Constitution save? Yeah. Alright. That is only in eight, but he is going to go ahead and burn a legitor resistance. All right, that's fine. I'm gonna unhinge my jaw and breathe some fire on him.
Starting point is 00:24:32 So he has a... Oh my god. Jamari, Jamari, look. Hold on, I am doing the splits. Do it like going into a casket. Oh wait, my mouth. My jaw is about to do the splurge. You fire. You openurge. Cute fire.
Starting point is 00:24:45 You open your mouth and breathe fire. Does he do a deck save or what? Yeah, he does a deck save. Okay. That one is a 16 to save. That might be what he needs. Deck save 16. Okay, so yeah, he still takes half damage and he rolled well
Starting point is 00:25:01 so he still takes five damage. Okay. And then I'm gonna spend another key point still takes five damage. Okay. And then I'm going to spend another key point to Fluria blows. Okay. Let's go. Uh, this time it's a dirty 20. Does that hit? Dirty 20 does hit.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Okay, that's ten more damage. Nice. Uh, I'm going to spend another key point to try to stun him. There you go. I know what you're doing. Okay, let's see. He's got a plus four to con. That's a 15 to save. Yeah, that's a fail. Okay, 15 is a fail. I'm gonna have to burn another legendary resistance. Okay, since I've loaded a blow, I have one more unarmed attack. It's also gonna be a 21. Wow. So another another 10. I'm rolling the same numbers
Starting point is 00:25:46 Another 10 damage and then I'm gonna spend another key point to try to stun him again Good God if you burn all my legendary resistances in one turn I'm gonna be so pissed Okay, let's see if I can you know what new dice. Let's see if I can naturally beat this so that's stop having to God damn it I rolled a nap for Burned third leg it is a Hell yeah, I turn back to Jabari and Corbo and I say I think he's ready to be stunned Body looks at you goes he sees What an intense turn. Yeah, you see Corbo is trying to get the feel
Starting point is 00:26:25 of this new version of this king. They're going back and forth. Lanz are really good shot at him. He strikes back and Lanz is a good shot on you, but you're able to dodge a second one. Teragon in a flash, almost like blinking in and out of existence flies in, gets a couple of attacks off. Looks like she's about to stun him a couple times.
Starting point is 00:26:45 He has to use magic to save himself. You see she breathes fire on him. As he has to shield himself, to guard himself by some of the flames, she's able to get under his arms and under his weapon and do a couple more strikes like in the ribs. She, I lean in right before I like a bob back out. I lean and I say I may look like an old lady,
Starting point is 00:27:06 but I don't fight like one. Damn, you burned off one of my eyebrows, I think. It's just good to feel the heat again. And he goes, and I may look like a human, but I don't fight like one. You don't look that human. No, you've got an energetic energy coming off you. Are you crazy?
Starting point is 00:27:28 He's going to go ahead and use two legendary actions, and he is going to make a special attack on Tarragon. You see, he's moving back and forth as he bobs and weaves. You see, he's got this like, rake kind of going with him. You see, it separates from him, race kind of going with him. You see it separates from him and looks like a copy of him essentially, but Trans-Head of Duplicate is going to reach out and attempt to grab
Starting point is 00:27:55 Tarragon by the neck. That is 19 to hits. That is my armor class. Okay, you see grabs Tarragon by the neck and begins choking her. You are restrained for the time being. But you see this other version of the King is holding Teragon up. And that is Jabari's turn.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Jabari is going to say to the King, you think that you can take two hex bloods, what the three. And I'm gonna cast, I'm gonna use sharp in the blade on my axe. And yeah, the weapon charge at him with claw a lot. That's gonna be 18 on the first one 18 misses. Okay second attack Oh my god, that's gonna be 17 good god. You do have the remember we have up you can use a D4 and add it Some time. I'll add that D4 first one was what 18. Yeah, yeah, 18 becomes a 22 that hits 15 points of damage and I will burn a key point
Starting point is 00:29:08 to turn that. Do a stomach strike. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I will tell you guys, I've been rolling so bad. I'm gonna bust out my one dice that I felt bad about using because I was rolling really good with it before. Is it that one that's white with gold numbers on it?
Starting point is 00:29:25 No, it's a pink one with very big numbers on it. Oh, that's one of my little pony dice. I'm gonna use my little pony dice. It's been lucky for me in the past. Let's see. God damn it. It's turning lucky for us. That's a 11.
Starting point is 00:29:41 That ain't a 16. That ain't even close. Jabari gets in there first time in a while. He's been using his boat, gets in there with the axe. This dude is surrounded on all sides by hexbloods and Jibari is able to slash him one time, swings around, spins his axe around, hits him with the butt of the axe and you see he looks dazed. Yes!
Starting point is 00:30:04 After Jibari, You see in the hallway this lumbering monster and these two zombies Begin to rush towards the door. You see this one dude with this hooked blade and the two zombies are Just leaping into action getting ready to go and you suddenly see a Fireball blow them back and you see through the flames in the doorway and all of the smoke. You see Cajun of the Cinder Sworn in the doorway goes, Hurry, hex, blood, we do not have long before we must burn all the undead. You see that the fire has begun in the castle here. You see in this window, you see the sun beginning to peak over the horizon
Starting point is 00:30:54 and you know that that is when they had planned on raising the area within the castle here. Okay, so the vibe is that the castle is now being set on fire and we are in danger of getting burned down with it. You hear, Kagerin's just gonna answer you. You hear Kagerin go, yes, there were zombies and what's not in the crypt below after the innocence were saved. I came here and started prematurely burning the castle.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I hope that's cool with everyone, not that I care. We are the senders one. We burn undead. We do not turn undead. Okay, first off, I got to say I turn undead and I kind of take issue with the fact that you kind of single that out as a stupid thing, but it's cool me. Sweet. Yeah, you see this, you see she's going to be busy tied up with these other dudes. You see like one of the zombies looks extremely hurt by this fireball, but the big dude is kind of going toe-to-toe with her here. Back up to the top of the round. That is initiative 20 as this room fills with smoke and you see fire in the hallway. This version of the king, this wraith that is holding up Terragon from him, emerge a bunch of tiny spectres who begin flying around the room
Starting point is 00:32:10 with spectral swords slashing just a thousand cuts. Everybody go ahead and give me dexterity saves. And I knew that was disadvantage, right? Cause I'm restrained. Yes, so Tarragon, you will have disadvantage on dexterity saves. Yeah, it's like avoiding insects almost. At Jabari 25. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Oh yeah. Corbo got a 27. But I will, I'll let you give me a little haircut if you want. Just take a little off the bottom of the old pony. That's good. You're going to take half damage already. Ah, fuck. Cut off his pony.
Starting point is 00:32:40 But leave the other eyebrow. With disadvantage, I still got a 17. A 17 actually passes. Yes. Cut off his pony, but leave the other eyebrow. With disadvantage, I still got a 17. 17 actually passes. Yes. You guys, it was 17 was the DC. You guys see, Tarragon as she's struggling being choked by this rath.
Starting point is 00:32:57 You see she's able to do some crazy acrobatics where she is putting her hands, putting just enough move to be able to move her neck enough that she's literally swinging her legs back and forth, dodging these dudes. I'm John Wick. Yeah, you guys are all still, even half, they're still all gonna take 20 damage.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Well, we have a vision. Ooh, so if you're... So if you're like the effect that allows you to make a deck saving throw, to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you need to. You guys are on the saving throw. I'll take no damage. And we only would have taken half damage, you instead take no damage if you see. You guys are on the saving throw. I'll take no damage. And we only would have taken half damage if we failed.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Good God. Oh my God. You absolutely did. Thank you, Lou. I was, I just, I input 20 damage. I didn't question that at all. Yeah. Thank God you're here.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Yes. So you guys fully evade this. Terragons cool thing, just actually fully works, and she does it. Look at that complicated pinata. Incredible neck work. That is Corbostern. Sorry, seems like you can't handle three Higgs blots, can ya?
Starting point is 00:33:52 On stun me! Are you craving? Find me when I'm on stun. Drop my friend. Why don't you drop my friend? I'll, if you can, if you can somehow on stun me, I'll drop your friend, but I don't think you can. I don't think I can either, but why don't you drop her and we'll find out.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Yeah, I'm gonna leave! I command it! You're king, command it! Um, alright, so I'm gonna go to throw my quarter staff again, but then just hang on to it, because it's like the same amount of damage, so I'm just gonna hit you in the face with the staff this time. Fine, you don't have to describe everything, man. That's a crit. I do, I'm very verbose. Oh, you. Oh, you. All right, I'll take my second attack. That is a 28 to hit on the second attack.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Yeah, both hit. Great. 25 damage. Sweet. And I'm going to spend a key point to give a flurry of blows. These come with advantage as well. Yep. Great. 16 to hit advantage as well. Yep, great.
Starting point is 00:34:46 16 hit on the first one. Mrs. Damn, and it's only an 18 hit on the second one. Mrs. You see, he's still a big bulky dude with a lot of armor. Huh, wait a punch metal idiot. I hit it with a stick, I didn't punch it. That is fucking King Brightleap Stern. He stunned. I'm stunned!
Starting point is 00:35:07 That is Terragon's turn. Okay, so Terragon, at the top of your turn, we are going to deal with the fact that this dude is choking you. Go ahead and first give me a Constitution saving throw. 11. 11 is a fail. Terragon, you feel him squeeze you and fill you with necrotic energy. You take 17 damage.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And at the start of your turn, you can attempt a strength saving throw to break free. All right, so I'll try my strength saving throw. 12 is not gonna do it. Okay, I'm just going to do a second level guiding bolt on this guy. Okay, I'm just going to do a second level guiding bolt on this guy. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Since I can't get to him, that is definitely going to hit. That is a 26 to hit. That hits. Okay. Burst of radiant energy comes from Tarragon as she wrestles with this rate, making the most of a bad situation.
Starting point is 00:36:03 18 radiant damage. Wow. And then, as a, I'm going to spend a key point to dodge as a bonus action. And what does that do? That's plus 2 AC? No, it means that anyone who attacks me has disadvantage, so that would undo any advantage
Starting point is 00:36:18 they would get from attacking me while I'm restrained. That's that, that's that. Thinking right there. After Terragons turn, that is Jabari's turn. Oh great, let's, and so because of the whole stunning thing, I can't stunning strike him because he's not stunned. He's not stunned. He ended up here in that turn.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yes, well, we'll just take advantage of some, some advantaged hits. Dude, with disadvantage, I dare you. No, no. First one's gonna be a 20 to hit. Hits. Wow, another 20 to hit, but still that's like an eight. Yeah, both both hit. We'll burn two key points to make these both deaf strikes. So 36, and then I'll use my bonus action to make a key empowered strike. Wow. That's gonna be a 30, but that's only gonna be nine,
Starting point is 00:37:14 more points of damage. 45 damage turn, not too shabby. Hey, well man. That's Racka. While he's stunned, let's rack him up. Yeah, starting to starting to look Premessed up after Jabari's turn. He does get his wits Back about him. There you go now now we can make this little more interesting. Okay. There is the king There we are
Starting point is 00:37:36 Yeah, tell you what we'll later have a turn before Corbo stuns you Jeeters I want to fight two of you. Oh come on stuns you. Jitters! I want to fight two of you! Oh come on! Caragon is in your hands and still whooping your ass. You're crushing my win fight but I'm still crushing you. We will see who crushes who. He's gonna use two legendary actions from the outside, Tarragon, and Corbo you guys see the King beginning to cast a spell But Jabari you see The room begins to flicker you you almost have like deja vu you see the King as a young man You see him blowing a war horn You look around you. You're no longer in this castle,
Starting point is 00:38:27 and you have this thought, was this all a strange dream? This is where I am, I need to focus. And you are in a valley above outer burrow. This was the battle that the young king made a name for himself. And you guys helped him do it. You had just one what was seen as a major victory at the start of the war. You beat this army of giant barbarians in the valley to the north of outer borough and caused them to retreat. But after pushing them back, you guys found out that this army was a decoy, and that as you gave chase chasing them off,
Starting point is 00:39:06 you were attacked on all sides by giant barbarians coming out of the mountains. Hundreds of the Empire soldiers died in this fight, but you guys were ultimately victorious. So while it was this like huge blunder, it turned into this legend called the Stand at Northboro. So you are at the Stand at Northboro. You see these giant barbarians in patchwork armor descending from above, 20 feet tall. They jump from absurd heights. When they hit the ground, there's a thunderous crash
Starting point is 00:39:42 that shakes the earth. Dozens of soldiers fall over immediately. Huge chunks of snow and ice falling from the nearby peaks, like hundreds of mini avalanches. The Giants wield huge axes and hammers. People are screaming, it's chaos all around you. You see they're taking out three or four soldiers in a single swing. You see the king, young and inexperienced, is caught unaware and is unhoarse
Starting point is 00:40:06 with a mighty swing. And you see, the giant is going to swing down on him. Jabari, go ahead and give me a charisma saving throw. Hmm, I see what this spell is doing. Great, I get a minus one on this roll. Oh, dear. That was so close to a net 20. Oh, dead. It's a seven. Okay. Oh my god. Jabari, you see your king in danger. My king. And a Jabari without thought just full on, bows out, charging toward the giant, trying to notch arrows in it after the king cast this spell Corbo and Terragon you guys see Jabari pulls his bow on Corbo and Starts getting ready to shoot him
Starting point is 00:40:53 Jabari Barry Hey This isn't of the king! He's-he's-he's even the king! You gotta take a trip down memory line! Maybe a reminder how- Are you crazy? Fuck us over! He's finally speaking some sense!
Starting point is 00:41:11 Join me! That is the Lair Action Corbo, go ahead and give me a Dex check. That's-that is a 25. A 25. Corbo, you see from below you, two spectral hands reach out and grab at your ankles and attempt to yank you down, but you're able to.
Starting point is 00:41:32 No, thank you. Jump up. Oh, thank you. At the last seconds and you are able to avoid it. Only Jabari takes me on a ride. Thank you, Darren. That is your turn, Corbo. All right, so I wanna get Terry unstuck.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Okay. As fun as it is to watch the King try to hit her and miss while he's holding her, it's still, I'm gonna try to help her out. Okay, so go ahead and Corbo, I will say you can do a Dex check instead of a strength check if you would like for freeing Tarragon, but it's going to be the same DC. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Because you are not stuck, so you can attempt to damage the Rath or something like that. She has to kind of force her way out. Gotcha. Terri, it doesn't look like you really need my help, but you know, for a kid. That is an adjunct. No, I do need your help, but you know, for a kid that is an adjunct. I do need your help. Oh, that's three.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Damn, on the day. That's the other day. Wow, this may get me stuck. Corbo is big day. Corbo, you see that Jabari is about to start shooting at you. You do like a standing back flip back. Do like a spinning roundhouse kick, and eviscerate this race that is holding up Tarragon.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Tarragon, you just land in a three point stance. I land with like my hand on the ground and like my two feet, almost like I look like I'm about to be in a sprinting race. And then I like look up with my dragon eyes. It's cool. That's what I'm trying to say. I had to stop that guy.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Anybody that's getting in the way of the unleashing of the dragon does not, does not have to be here. Thank you, Corbo. You made that look easy. Yeah, no, your fire breath is very necessary. Yeah. And then I'm gonna spend,
Starting point is 00:43:18 I'll spend a key point and do a Flurry of Blows on the King. Great. That is a 27 on the first one. That is. And a blows on the king. Great. That is a 27 on the first one. Yes. And a 25 on the second. Yeah. Hits. Can't even parry.
Starting point is 00:43:31 So that's 26 and I'll try to, and I'll spend a key point to try to make it stoning. Good job. Let's go. Let's go. I mean, I feel bad because when my turn comes, I'm gonna try and kill you. But right now, this is exciting.
Starting point is 00:43:45 On your turn, let's not go. Yes, but at this current moment, let us proceed to go. It's gotta be a 16 on the dice. Come on. Come on. That is a natural 17. He is not. Ah!
Starting point is 00:43:59 Thank God. We got more in the tank. Come on now. Thank God. Okay, after Corbo, he is going to use one legendary action and take a swing on Corbo. All right. Good Lord.
Starting point is 00:44:14 That's only 16 misses. Great. Corbo, you are absolutely getting the better of him. Another backflip. How dare you. But then that is his turn and he goes, Jabari, two on two. Let's take these guys In your memory to see him on the ground being like help
Starting point is 00:44:36 Help my hero Coming my king he's gonna swing his body singing My king enough with the things on to barry you're scaring me man Okay, shout out to the two crew on one of them, but the other one hits nice 22 damage Corboh all right And then Terragond that is your turn Okay, I am going to just go after this fucker. Yeah, yeah. Does a 18 hit? 18 does not hit.
Starting point is 00:45:08 25 hits. 25 does hits. Yeah, this parry's only plus four. Can't block it. Nine points and I'm gonna stunnings strike. Let's go. Stunt him. Consays for you all day.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Don't let him stun me, Jabari. My king. Okay, come on. That's a nat5, that is a 9th out all, and he's fucking stunned. Fuck me. We're stunned. We're all stunned. Okay, and then I'm going to try and hit again. And it's going to be a 19, does a 19 hit? 19 does not hit. Okay, that is my turn. Jabari, that is your turn. You see this giant's about to swing down on the king. Go ahead and make your attacks as you would.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yes, I look to this king or this giant, I say on the hand, the king go out after Burl and first why? That's gonna be an 18 to hit. That's to hit Corbo, Corbo? Yes, that just misses. Okay, Corbo, you got that away. I don't have sharpened the blade on my bow, so it's just the regular plus nine and the second one is going to be a 19.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Okay. That is. How hard do I have to go, Murphy? Finish him tomorrow. Get him off me. Are you asking if you have to do a stunning strike? Yes, I'm questioning. I'm wondering how hard do I have to go.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Is it key points hard? It is key points hard. Yeah. You're treating all-out former allies as enemies. This is a clever way to try to use our key points hard. Yeah, you're treating all our former allies as enemies. This is a clever way to try to use our key points also. Okay. I'm very clever. I'm going to use the Death Strike.
Starting point is 00:46:53 One key point, do you, Death Strike? 14 points of damage. Wait, is this arrows or the axe? This is my arrows. I switched to the, oh, so I should, I can try to deflect missile, can I? Sweet, yeah, go ahead and use a, you can use a reaction. I think he's gonna negate it entirely.
Starting point is 00:47:10 It's 14 total. Okay. And I'm able to deflect. Yeah. I'm deflecting 21. Yeah. Okay. So, uh, Corbo, you are able to completely block it?
Starting point is 00:47:20 Oh, in the next. Because I used key that turn, I'll use my bonus action to make a key fuel strike. But that is a shout out to the two crew. Good God. Can we just say that one turns into a high five. Somewhere in my brain, I'm fighting, I'm fighting this. Yes, famously, Jabari, you really messed up this fight. This giant Teregon had to help you with it. You see, you are shooting and missing. It's always a team effort. You can't be a crap with just two legs. Amen.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Wow. So the language of this is that he gets to redo the saving throw if he damages an ally or an ally damages him. He did not damage an ally. So so Jabari stays charmed. Oh what oh oh oh I should have lit him hit me at the after Jabari's turn. Oh fuck. That is um you see Cajun uses another like flame strike. You see those zombies go down. You see fire and smoke is building up on here. You see Sun is starting to come up outside and she goes, we do not have much time. Hexbloods, we must head out. That is back up to initiative 20. That is the layer action on the layer action. You guys once again see this casket come up,
Starting point is 00:48:47 Corbo go ahead and give me a dexterity saving throw. All right. 22. You once again do a split over the casket. Corbo rolls two fucking high for you to touch it. So I get in the damn casket! I'm honestly curious at this point. Corbo, that is your turn.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Okay. So I'm gonna, I'll tack the king. I'm gonna put my hand, I'm gonna try to punch him in the head. Okay. That is a dirty 20 to hit. Dirty 20, wood hits, but he's gonna, oh wait, he can't fucking use reactions. Fuck me, fuck me forever. He gets it.
Starting point is 00:49:27 He gets it. Great. All right, Adirty 20 and another and a Nat 20. All right. Is that Quattro? Dude, that's Quattro. That's Quattro. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Absolutely, fuck me. It helps me roll with advantage. This is just what I- That's true. Corpos has been the one who gets to roll with advantage every time. So it makes sense. I think it's above the, it's above the belt. Is that what you call it?
Starting point is 00:49:49 That ain't keep going. That's very much above the belt. Yeah, it's above the belt. That's 27 damage. Good. I'm going to use a key point for Floria blows and can I use a, I have that ability where I could use a hand to harm and a hand to healing and I'd like to slap Jabari and heal him But if I can't then I'm just gonna slap him and hurt him because I'm trying to uncharmed. Yeah, you need to hurt him to uncharmed
Starting point is 00:50:14 All right So I'm gonna split these two hits right so I'm gonna do one against the king and one against Jabari great Yeah, so yeah, you've got two two enemies on both sides of you I only rolled a shout out to the two crew against the king 20 against Jabari. Great. Yeah, so yeah, you've got two enemies on both sides of you. I only rolled a shout out to the two crew against the king, so I gotta just try to hit Jabari. Great. Does a 22 hit you Jabari?
Starting point is 00:50:34 Oh, that hits Jabari right square in the face. And I've never been more excited to announce that my AC was beating me. Go ahead and do your damage. Corbo, what are you doing? He thinks thinks he's somewhere else I'm trying to bring him back to this castle fuck that's a uh that's pretty it's almost as much as I can do that's 12 you see uh oh Terrick on you see Corbo wallops Jabari
Starting point is 00:50:58 okay Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. See the camera looks pretty hurt, Tarragon. I know, I think I'm gonna focus up on the king for a hot second. Gonna attack once. That is going to be 21 hits.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Six damage. Then I'm gonna brief fire on him. He automatically fails because he's stunned. Yes, they are fucking yes. So that's another only nine, only nine fire damage. Eight, nine, nine. And then I'm at a key point, so I'm just gonna try, I think I'm just gonna try to hit this guy one more time. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Okay, that's gonna be a 25 to hit. That is. And that is another 10 damage. Terrogon, finish him. Yeah! Wow, there it is. What I would like to do is I would like to get him in like, rassuloman to a headlock and then wait for right the moment that Jabari's gonna attack Corbo and then jump in the way and catch the arrow with the King's body.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Yeah, you see you're able to overpower him. He is stunned. You summon all of the power of the dragon. You've just burned him. You grab him and you push him as Jabari loses an arrow. You see, goes right through the middle of his head. I like dodge out of the way as it comes out the back of his head. And fuck it.
Starting point is 00:52:43 As he dies Jabari suddenly you are in the castle You've just killed the king you're surrounded by fire You oh Jabari was yeah, it's okay. We made good use of your arrow Yeah, it's okay. We made good use of your arrow King number two that's two man. That's Wait, what do you call your bow? Oh, this is fang you should rename a fang King killer Yeah, he's just round killer
Starting point is 00:53:23 You see as you see as this arrow hits the king and he drops You see Kagerin has finished dealing with these zombies in the hall, runs in as the fires all around and goes, come now to the sky, there is still work to be done, this will all be for not if the other hexbloods rise. To the wire. She is going to go ahead and cast Fly on everybody. Okay. Cool. And you see, she is going to take her movement and she is going to fly out the window.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Jamari is going to take a real quick second and just cut the king's head off and bring it with her. Oh my. Good God. Jamari is just, oh, one second and it's head off and bring it with us. Oh my good God Let me just One second and it's just gonna bring claw down and Like kind of rip it off here and motionless as a butcher In one second like you forgot to turn off the coffee pot or something, but damn no, this is this is important or something but damn. No, this is important.
Starting point is 00:54:24 And Jabari, when you turn on someone you turn, well, it's not okay. It's not okay. It's not okay. It's not okay with it. The king really liked us. He would have wanted us to have his head. See, that is what Jabari is thinking.
Starting point is 00:54:40 And yeah, claw on one hand, the king's head and the other Jabari's going to fly off the sky. Sweet. I do. I think that it's like almost like in like a cartoon or something, I go like fully stiff pencil and then like shoot into the sky. I walk over to Lake and I say,
Starting point is 00:55:02 we would never ever be able to do this otherwise, but let's give it a shot and then I ride Lake into the sky like she's Pegasus. 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.
Starting point is 00:55:34 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
Starting point is 00:56:03 are wearing bird dogs. To get yours and a free Yeti style tumbler go to birddogs.com slash pop-up or enter promo code pop-up at checkout. That's birddogs.com slash pop-up or promo code pop-up for a free Yeti style tumbler. You won't want to take your bird dogs off, we promise you. Okay, that's it for me, Go team pants and enjoy the show. Um, you guys, uh, jump out the window. You guys all fly out into the sky and see, um, the gray sky, uh, of a grim dawn.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Sun barely peeking over the horizon. You see, um, besides Cajun, the other dozen cindersworn are all floating in the air above the castle, like the whole area behind the castle wall. They're all wearing the red robes and gold masks. You see, as you guys all gather together, you see about half of them begin flying around and casting grease spells, creating a circle within the castle wall to begin the fire. And you guys use... The historical preservation aside of me is a little bit feelin' this. Well, you guys do see undead begin stumbling out of the burning keep. Like a lot of them are already
Starting point is 00:57:21 on fire, but these dudes look pretty powerful. You see Cajron gives the signal, and you see the other six cast powerful fireballs into the grease, setting the entire area of flame. There's this initial explosion. You see the zombies, most of them are reduced to ash, and you see the various buildings begin to fall. Can Tarragon get in on this and breathe some fire as well? I still have some fire to breathe.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Tarragon, you breathe fire. It's just like flying in the air, breathing fire. And you see the cinder sworn are chanting as they concentrate to keep the fire going. There's this initial explosion of this fireball, but they're specialists. They're using something to be able to keep it fire going. There's this initial explosion of this fireball, but they're specialists. They're using something to be able to keep it going consistently. And you hear them all at once go,
Starting point is 00:58:11 rise, fire, rise, flames to kill. What is already dead? Burn, fire, burn, turns to ashes to begin again. Wait a second, Terrigan stops blowing fire for a second. Was there a royal greenhouse? Was there a royal greenhouse? Was there a royal greenhouse? No Okay, so again continues blowing flames
Starting point is 00:58:33 You guys see the flames continue to rise until the castle itself collapses you guys see cajran gives a signal and together the sender swarm slow the burn to a less destructive level high enough to kind of weed out any undead that manage to survive the blast below enough that you can now see the smoke and senders of the rubble. You see, Kaderyn looks at you, Tarragon, and gives you a respectful nod. When suddenly she's struck by a flying two-handed
Starting point is 00:59:15 mace, you see she is thrown back by a massive concussive hit and the concentration breaks on her fly spell. the three of you begin falling. Whoa, whoa, whoa. And out of the rubble, you see two chains of necrotic energy shoot out at Corbo and Teregon. We are gonna stay in initiative. What? You guys will have to do perception checks to see where all of this is coming from.
Starting point is 00:59:41 But you guys are falling out of the sky. That is your turn, Corbo. Oh, right. Can I do a perception check to see? Yeah, go ahead and do a perception check. It's a 14. Corbo, you see crawling out of the rubble is the headless king, armor smoldering, smoke coming off of his body.
Starting point is 01:00:03 You see parts of his armor has broken off and his skin has melted off there but his skeletal remains are there bursting with necrotic power and you also see about a dozen of these specters that had come out to fly at you guys, begin flying around and attacking the Cinder Sworn. And you see, they are tied up with those guys. Corbo, that is your turn. All right. Can I swing on the, can I swing anything
Starting point is 01:00:34 on the King right now? Am I close enough? I will say, what is your movement? 50 feet. The range on this attack that he has started to do on you is 60 feet. So I'm going to say he's 60 feet away, but if you have anything ranged you would like to do,
Starting point is 01:00:46 you can try. I don't have anything right. Can I just hold the reaction? Sure. Yeah. You can take a defensive stance, because you see he's about to attack you, which gives you plus two to AC.
Starting point is 01:00:56 All right, cool. I'm gonna take a defensive stance in front of my dog, so nothing bad happens to me. Oh, okay. So yeah, you and you guys are monks, so you guys fall and you're able to do like a tuck and roll. You grab a lake as the concentration breaks on this fly spell, and you guys tuck and roll
Starting point is 01:01:17 as you hit the ground. You see this like spectral chain coming at you. You throw your arms up to block it. That is King Bright Leap's turn. He's gonna go ahead and roll these two attacks. Would have been a 19 to hit Corbo, but his class is higher. So Mrs. Corbo, Corbo, you're able to,
Starting point is 01:01:38 you see, you go to block Lake. Lake doesn't want you blocking for her. She bites your calf. You turn around and piss at her and the chain goes right by your head as it misses you. Other one is going to go for Tarragon. That is going to be a 23 to hit Tarragon. That hits. Tarragon, you are hit for 26 damage and you are grappled. Oh. And you see this seems to give him some power.
Starting point is 01:02:10 This chain connects to Tarragon and you see he's able to like absorb power from it and you see his body begins to like shake as if charged. That is Tarragon's turn. I'm just gonna do another guiding bolt at him. Okay. 19, does that hit? 19 does not hit.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Oh, wait, I can use my plus four. 22. 22 hits. There we go. Yes. He shoots you. He grabs you. You without missing a beat. Just throw another bolt back at him.
Starting point is 01:02:41 That's gonna be 14 radiant damage. And I don't have any key points, so I think I'm just gonna look to, is there anything I can do to try to get out of this grapple? Yes, at the end of your turn, you can try to escape. You can do decks this time, DC 15. Eight plus nine, 17! You break free.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Here we go. Get off of me, bitch. And I definitely back up behind Jabari, because I know that I'm pretty hurt and I can't be healed at the end of Terragons turn He is going to go ahead and Use three legendary actions. He he's got the one chain connected to Terragon that just broke away. He uses his other hand.
Starting point is 01:03:26 He sends a cord of negative energy that connects him to Corbo. And that is a save that you will do later for now it is just connected to you. That is Jabari's turn. Okay. Jabari takes a real quick look at the head he's carrying. You see it is trying to bite you put me back. Are you cravin?
Starting point is 01:03:49 Fight me as I'm whole You quiet you I'm gonna shove it in my pack next to the cock You must make the curse give me my head back that's how this works the brothers. No, no, no I put the head away. I'm gonna use my bonus action That's so this works, that's brothers! No, no, no. I put the head away. I'm gonna use my bonus action. Again, cut myself on my own blade. Grab my bow, my blood for whatever is left in you. And I will cast Hex on this body.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Sweet. And then I'll take with a bonus action and then I will take two bow attacks first one is a 24 to hit 24 hits great second one Second one's a 16 to hit 16 does not hit that's gonna be 12 Damage Corbo go ahead and give me a constitution saving throw. You see, as it hits him, you see this wave of negative energy goes through the cord. Corbo, go ahead and give me a con saving throw. So he's taking a huge advantage.
Starting point is 01:04:53 15. That's a fail. So Corbo, you take six, and this dude takes six. Corbo, Jaffani is so sorry that this keeps happening. You are just fighting Corbo. I do not ask. At least is so son, that this keeps happening around. You are just fighting Corbal. I do not ask. At least now you're hurting both of us, man.
Starting point is 01:05:09 That's okay. Jifani still does not like it. Then you guys see, on initiative 20, the layer action. Once again, spectral hands, shoot out of the rubble, out of the ground. Everybody this time, go ahead and give me Dex, Chex. Dex saves. Dex saves. All right, out of the ground. Everybody this time, go ahead and give me Dex, Chex. Dex saves.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Dex saves. All right, that's a 24. That passes 12 from Jabari. 13 plus 9 is gonna be a 22. Jabari, as you are momentarily distracted from herding Corbo, two spectral hands, grab you at your ankles and pull you down into the earth.
Starting point is 01:05:48 You are in the rubble up to your waist and you feel some kind of monster like yanking you down, trying to like pull you down to hell. Oh fuck. So you are restrained for now. Do not worry, Jabadi is simply being pulled to what feels like hell, but Jabadi is not afraid.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Let me out of the backpack. Can I use that reaction that I had saved to try to pull him out of the ground? Oh, yeah, yeah, I will allow that. So you see us. Oh good, yes, so you'll run closer to us too. Sweet, I'm going to say it's gonna have to be a strength check though.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Am I allowed to use Terragons plus four thing on this turn, by chance? Yes, you can use the D4. Uh, DC 15 strength check. DC 15? Yeah. I have, before I roll this thing, I have a 12. Okay, so you got to roll a three or a four on the D4. Close loop hug.
Starting point is 01:06:42 That's a four. That's a four. That's a power of friendship. Oh, these close loop hugs have made some dramatic moments. You should have been close to the pubs and the open circle crabs. Yes, that's so you're in the outer. You're all able to avoid this. Corbo, you're able to use your reaction to
Starting point is 01:07:05 Grab Jibari the last second. Pull him up before they can get him too deep. He just starts slowly sinking into the earth in a really menacing way. You guys see Corbo, it is your turn. Fire all around you. This area behind the wall has just been like levels, just the ruins of the castle, and you continue to fight the headless king. Damn, I don't even know who I'm talking to anymore. I guess I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna hit your headless body. God, I swear to God, look at that.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Did you roll another nat 20? It's a nat 20. Yeah, but I rolled another nat 20. Oh my God. Oh my god! Cinco! Yes! I'm gonna frame this dice. The second attack is a 19 hit.
Starting point is 01:07:53 19 misses. 16 on the, my first attack, I'm gonna use a flurry of blows. Okay. For the 16, go ahead and give me a constitution saving throw. Okay. Corbeau. A constitution? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:08 I rolled a natural 19. That is a 20. That is a pass. He takes the full 16. You're able to override it. You just grit your teeth. And you use sort of the magical power of your way of mercy. You've got this string of negative energy,
Starting point is 01:08:27 and you send some positive energy back, and you hit him with some positive vibes. Yeah. Yeah, I feel your pain, King. I feel your pain. I have been my head isn't a backpack. All right, I'm gonna go whisper that to Jabari's pack, though. Are you resting on Jabari's bed in there?
Starting point is 01:08:44 I'm gonna spend a key point through Floria blows. Okay. Fuck me. I think they're both gonna miss. That is a- it's an 18 and a shout out to the two crew. Both miss. Alright. So you see you guys are dwindled but he is dwindled. Obviously he's looking very fucked up. He quite literally does not have a head. All of his powers now seem to be more about not getting hit and about draining energy and stopping you, as opposed to before, he was kind of like a brute force powerhouse. After your turn, that is his turn. You see the cord breaks.
Starting point is 01:09:15 It is no longer attached to you. Yes. But he is going to go ahead and do a chain attack. Again, the spectral chains come out. One will go after Ter out. One will go after Tarragon, one will go after Jabari, 14 to hit Jabari misses. Good God, Tarragon. 24 to hit Tarragon. That one hits you. No, sorry. It, it wants you. This one though only hits you for 13. Okay. Am I restrained again? You are grappled again, yes. Then he's
Starting point is 01:09:48 going to take a mace attack. You see is able to use like a bonus action. Summins his giant mace back and swings on Corbo. Shout out to the two crew. Nice. We've sawed a big time. that is Terragons turn. Okay, then I will just keep doing guiding bolt cause that'll set Jabari up to get advantage if I hit. Great. Ooh, that's probably gonna hit 21. 21 hits.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Yeah, that's so sad. I only rolled 11 cause I rolled three ones or two. Okay. But Jabari will have advantage on his first attack. Um, I don't have any key points left, so that is all Tarragon is gonna do. As a legendary action, he is going to go ahead and cast a spell on Tarragon. Tarragon. Terragon, you have this out of body experience where you suddenly begin zooming out. You basically like leave your body behind. You find yourself
Starting point is 01:10:56 flying away from the battle zooming out, but it's almost like infrared. Like you can still see all of the bodies, but then the world goes dark. Everything goes black, and the bodies below whether it be the cinder swarn or zombies, Corbo or the king. You see everything just becomes like white and blue and grayish. It looks like you're almost watching like souls fight, and you are overwhelmed in this moment by how small Everything looks from here and how few tile this fight seems You look in all directions. You see thousands of souls and all directions. This all just seems very small Go ahead and give me a wisdom saving throw I didn't use my closed loop hog last time. I have a 15 a 15 passes
Starting point is 01:11:45 my closed loop hog last time. I have a 15. A 15 passes. Wow! All of that was met got me. I was just. Wow. It's small and it's pointless, but you know what a garden is kind of small. Someone else is gardening us. We're the garden. You know what? And I can get in there. I can get in there. I turn it on you. Still make something beautiful. Fly back into your own body. As a halfling, I I know shot being small doesn't mean you aren't beautiful worth fighting for You guys just hear Terrogon says that out of nowhere What Jibari agrees. I mean yeah, I agree. Yeah, Jibari would not argue. Yes, Jibari. That is your turn
Starting point is 01:12:21 Great you have a advantage on your first attack against him fantastic Jibari looks back at the head in his back and says, why don't we introduce you to an old friend? And I'm going to charge with the axe again. That is the Nat 20 we've been looking at. There he is. Oh, no, he's. That's fantastic. 23 points of damage on the first attack.
Starting point is 01:12:48 He is very, very hurt. You see this headless monster falls to one knee as you strike him with the axe. You feel a bunch of bones break. You hear him grunt from inside your backpack. I still feel everything. This is good. Jabadi likes that. Can we see if the stunning strike works on the first attack? Yes. Okay. Con say. It's the 16. Fucking stunning strike works. It's a natural six. Fuck me forever. Okay
Starting point is 01:13:30 It's it's a 17 but it's not a 20 so that still hits will do it's a D10 17 points of damage and then Because I use key this turn. I'll use a key empowered strike to use my bonus action for one more attack all right Wow, that's gonna be a 25 to hit. Good God. And that's gonna be 18 more points of damage. Jabari, yes. Finish him. Good, because I pictured this so perfectly.
Starting point is 01:13:57 As I bring the axe down, bringing him to both knees, I pull the head out of my backpack, place it back in place, whip a arrow out of my quiver and jam it back through the head so that he is as he should be. Giorid. So Jabari, yeah, you place the head down. you see through like, necrotic energy, begins to regenerate, you see his neck attaches back to his head, he opens his mouth to like, taunt you or say one last thing, without any words, without anything, you shoot him back in the head,
Starting point is 01:14:38 and it pins him to the ground. You skewer this horror, and you see the King of the petty king of outer burrow Thirsten bright leap with fire burning all around him. It's almost like a funeral pyre I think Jabari gets a little emotional just a just like a little I think there is as much as this needed to be done Jabari wishes he hadn't had to. Yeah, you know we we accidentally had a blood ritual when we should have had a funeral. So let's let's give him some you know just a quick reflection now. He was a good man and he was a good king. A shitty horror, but a good man.
Starting point is 01:15:26 I mean, it has only been like a day and a half since he should have been dead. Maybe we just pretend like the last, but like roughly 36 hours, just, we just, you know, that's just an operation. Yeah. It's like it didn't happen. I was just, we just, you know, yeah. That was an in-apparation. Yeah. It's like it didn't happen. I choose to believe that he was being animated by something that, you know, wasn't him.
Starting point is 01:15:54 He doesn't remember this. He wasn't here for this. I like that. You guys see, the Cinder Sworn have stayed true to their word. You see that they have kept this attack within the castle walls. You guys can see in the distance the castle sits higher than the rest of Heronford. You guys see as the sun comes up, you see it basks Heronford in a yellow light, and it looks safe there as the yellow. Except for the smoke inhalation.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Except for the smoke inhalation, everybody's supposed to watch out. Can I, even though I don't have key points, can I sprout wings and fly around dispersing the smoke so the people don't, you see that some of the sender swerre and are up there? Yes, that's one of the first things we learned about control fires. Making sure that smoke inhalation is not is not a thing.
Starting point is 01:16:52 And you guys see as you stand around the burning remains of the king bright leap, you see Cajron lands next to you guys flying down and kind of holds her head and goes, sorry about dropping you there, I kind of got hit by a giant mace. Yeah, no, we just hope you're alright, that looked like it didn't feel great. Yes, our exploits are proficient at falling, so I only worry for someone like you who is not this graceful Right, well actually I'm very proficient at falling. I was able to cast featherfall before I hit the ground So I didn't even get hurt anything. It's just I'm glad. So you landed perfectly and then we thought the king the three of us, right? Right, but we had to fight if you remember
Starting point is 01:17:43 There were little horrors that were coming out. And even though there were little, there were a lot of them. Okay. Okay. I appreciate that. Can we just have a nice moment? Can we all just have a nice moment?
Starting point is 01:17:55 What I wanted to say, thank you for eating in our mission here. We were able to successfully get out all of the non-hors from within the walls. That is what I call human beings, non-hors. Clinical, but I will take it. Yes. Thank you, K-Dring. Thank you. Are they all safely at Pearl Hill? Indeed. Good. Wonderful. Jabari wonders who will be the new ruler of out of borrow. Now that both claims to the throne have been killed by Jabari, seeing as Jabari has completely eradicated the line of success. I mean by a lot of standards that would mean that you're the new king, right? No, no, no, no, Javari does not want that.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Javari has more grip work to do. Yeah, that's true. We have someone who escaped this that we need to find. You see, Kajran, trucks or shoulders, and goes, I'm sure the empire will aid in the peaceful transition of power. My guess is that it will be someone who is friends of the high queen but local to outer burrow. I guess that's the best you can hope for.
Starting point is 01:19:14 Yes. We could use you in the cinder swarn. I know there aren't many hexplugs left. If we were able to have a team of people to come with us and aids in evacuations It would save many lives I Mean I don't want to contradict you, but I do want to let you know that there actually are a lot of exploits now as of the last battle
Starting point is 01:19:37 the The team has grown A lot of bench players right yeah, no, no the toads Scroon a lot of bench players right. Yeah, no, no, the Toads Hungaries of explode that would happily help you with your evacuation. Yes, the toad wait for you at Pearl Hill Go to them All right, is that your way of politely telling me no is to is to ask the Toads as Terragons said we've been around for a long time. We learned how to say no to a job As Terraghan said, we've been around for a long time, we learned how to say no to a job. Yes, very well.
Starting point is 01:20:07 We have a little bit more business to attend to before we can take up some sort of fun work. It ain't that your work is not noble, it's very cool. It's fun, yeah, that's true. It'd be awesome. And Jabadi thinks you guys are great, but yes Jabari and his friends have one more One more thing to take care of before we can you know one more job one last job Jabari wanted to say one last job, but Jabari thought it was too cliche
Starting point is 01:20:40 Let's say one more job Jay, let's say one more job. No, I guess. As someone who works with plants, predictability is actually a good thing. So I just went for it. Well, I see. You have that. Jabari does not. You guys see, um, Kaderyn nods and goes very well then I hope our paths cross again but not in a manner that
Starting point is 01:21:09 requires us to burn a bunch of stuff perhaps in a way that would allow us to not burn things and instead perhaps have a beer to even drink things yes if you want to just come back to my terrarium and do LSD, we can also do that. Tempted. My dog did it. My dog did it two days ago and she's still saying shit. It's really good. Wait, Kendra, before, come to body. Okay, so, so, Terragon, you get on the right.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Kendra, you come here on the left and the corporal, you go on the other side and everyone just here we go. Are we facing in or are we doing crap? Are we facing out for crap? Facing in for hug. This is for the whole day. Oh, okay. So this is, it's two of us are facing out right now
Starting point is 01:21:54 and then two of us are facing it. It's the first hug that Jibadi has ever coordinated. I was feeling like every time I face out, everyone else is facing in and then I turn in and you all start facing out. Let's see because Jibadi has ever co-ordinated. I was feeling like every time I face out, everyone else is facing in and then I turn in and you all start facing out. Let's see because Jibadi everyone, everyone towards the center. Everybody look at the center, nose to nose, arms up. Grab each other as hard as we can and pull until the life is sucked from each other. It doesn't have to be as hard as, you can squeeze if you feel like you need to squeeze hard.
Starting point is 01:22:24 I always like to squeeze. I you can squeeze it. You feel like you need to squeeze hard. That's you know, I always like to squeeze. I like to squeeze too. Yeah, that's a lifetime of hugs in one. You guys come in for a hug. Kadrin gives you guys a salute and then flies off and joins the rest of the center swan in the ashes of the fire here. sworn in the ashes of the fire here. Terragon, you see the dragon rose is opening.
Starting point is 01:22:52 Is it blooming? It does appear to be blooming. Does it look like it wants to be planted here? It looks like it wants to be planted here. Like a dog, not without, not with like fancy gardening equipment. Like a dog, I use my hands to just dig a hole to plant it. I think if you borrow and get in there to help with his accident, it's just a lot like moving the dirt that tear it on shovels. You guys all get down.
Starting point is 01:23:19 Lake helps you guys dig. Yeah. You place the dragon rose in. Somehow, Taragon is more dog-like than Lake in this dog. It's crime. I am my dragon wings out, but they're like a dog's tail. A happy dog's head tail. You guys push the dirt back around the dragon rose.
Starting point is 01:23:39 And you see this rose that was, when it was like closing a little bit, was still massive. It was like 10 inches in diameter. You see it opens and it's like two and a half feet in diameter. Just this giant rose with huge petals fully opens up in the ashes here. Okay. I think the castle is gonna have to have a greenhouse now.
Starting point is 01:24:10 This is a good way to bully them into that. Yeah. Everybody go ahead and give me perception checks. Now this is an interesting question. It's flowering. Will it fruit now? Oh, I'd like to eat some bread. I don't know enough about it, dragon fruit.
Starting point is 01:24:24 Yeah, I can roast it. Yeah, flour before you can fruit. That's 21, 18. 19. Corbo, you catch sight of it first. And somehow you know that it's the same one. You see the little winter sprite that led you to the Grove last time.
Starting point is 01:24:41 Hey, friend. You see it begins spinning around and then moving back towards, in the direction towards like Pearl Hill towards like where that gate is. Looks like we got another mission. Okay, I just really quickly scrape a little bit of pollen from the, from the dragon rose and I'm ready to go. Yes, a Jabadi. Jabadi has his cot. Jabadi has his friends. And Jabadi is ready for a bath. I am too. I think we earned a war tub. Let's go.

Oh Somebody is not tired. I'm the opposite of tired. I'm hyped up you can hey Can you sprint in those crocs Terry? Let's go You don't even know you don't even know how fast I can get these cracks You guys rush off Towards the gate towards your next mission your one last job, and that is where we'll end our arc.
