I'm your dungeon master, Brian Murphy joined by Jake Herwits, scared the most of a dragon ghost, Henry Hockfish. To the point, I love it, Closing Hank, straightforward.

And of course, Emily Axford. Bang Trimmer, Blade Aglimmer, Excellence Vimmer, and Reaper Center via Borginya. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna test the swimming thing. And then we've got with the best rhyme of all, called Oltanner. Ooh, Flame Licking Alchemist whose potions are wild and oh my God, a Bat killed my child,

Cirque for Vane. Oh, my goodness. bat killed my child. Cirque for Vane. Oh. Oh my goodness. That's really good. It also killed my familiar, right? I don't have a child. It's more of a roommate. Uh, yes.

All the, you guys didn't take too much damage last fight, but all of the familiar's went down. Yes, I did. You did. You got crushed by a rock and you got to get a couple of nights. You then told a talk with the bat. Right. The bat did bite you a couple of times.

There you go. We had bad luck with rocks this campaign. That bat was a pain in the ass. I remember looking at that bat and seeing the low challenge rating in Cobalt Press, I believe it was the creature codex. I remember looking at it and being like, this is appropriate for their level and should be easy,

but I can tell it's gonna be a pain in the ass. And you were right. And with that, let's talk about other important things that aren't the vampire bat, which wasn't all that important at all. Let's go ahead and do a little recap. You guys are all slowly becoming bats. And that's going to be the plot now. Oh, fierce, proud wings. Oh, and those is from the bathroom, not. They honestly work. So last time you guys had an interesting start to your session, Windsor wandered off with some hooligans to quote,

find a place to shoot some cans. The 40-year-old teens led him to a cave, then beat him with lead pipes. Isn't enough? That beat him with lead pipes and stole all his stuff. A month's switch. A month's switch. What a vile of Batil's blood.

Of course, desperate to find it. The party was able to hunt down one of the teens and convince him to hand it over after a talk with his mom. With the blood retrieved, you went to bed and were awoken the next morning by Lusgrar. Lusgrar told you that he was in need of a blade. A deep folk cleric named Grez had recently gone off on a dangerous mission all on her own. Grez had been having prophetic dreams of a sentient horror that she was supposed to meet

in the ruins of an old deep folk outpost. To accomplish this, she traveled to a place called the Crux, a dangerous underground town with a network of rivers leading to various old mining sites and outpost ruins. The Crux is occupied by scrapers, who supposedly recycle old supplies from these sites to make money. In actuality, Lusgar believes they are raiders who are responsible for some of the ruins they quote unquote stumble upon. He talked about one such outpost, a successful mining operation that suddenly collapsed under strange circumstances leaving no survivors.

You agreed to help find Griez because you owed Lesquar a favor, but he told you that finding her would be beneficial to you as well because she has the ear of Sienna, the autumn fairy, and could potentially answer some of your burning questions. With a sketch of Grez in hand, you headed to the Crocs via a teleporter, and once there you visited the various merchant tents, and obtained a newspaper from West Presynch. Hank learned that his ex-wife's new husband, Carlisle Lochnamor, was in the running for new petty king of Outerboro, and even more concerning, his son was not featured in the family portrait. Where is my son? Mr. Henry, if it makes

you feel any better, it seems like the wife of a politician has a tough life. Yeah, and I'm not registered to vote, so it's fine. No, I've always wanted it to be happy, but fuck it. That actually sounds pretty good. Concerned, Henry mailed a letter to Izzy asking about Hank Jr. Where is my son? Before the three of you headed off to a tavern to ask around about the missing grays. There, he met the leader of the scrapers, HuTar Gunner Bold, who told you that he had seen

grays, she'd asked about a passage to a particular ruin, and HuTar had supplied her with guides in exchange for her dealing with a haunting there. He offered you the same deal to get passage into the mountain in exchange for dealing with the haunting, and you took it, deciding to follow Graz's footsteps into the mountain. Before you headed off, Fia traded Madam Whitlock, some brella to Hugh Tarr in exchange for some armor, and he obliged you then joined your guide, Kragel,

on a wet and wild-blocked flume ride through the mountain. All right, I forgot how much I liked craggle. Craggle's still there, you're with craggle. Craggle rocks, if I may say. Wow. OK, only 80s kids remember. Craggle took you on a log flume ride through the mountain before pulling up to the ruins where

grits and the others had apparently gone off to deal with the haunting. As you traveled on foot through the half-collapsed mining tunnels, you began to suspect that this was the same outpost destroyed under mysterious circumstances that Lusgrar had told you about earlier. As you approached the ruins, you felt the chill of a thousand angry spirits before seeing the source prowling through the wreckage of the town, a huge ghost dragon. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, of the spirits have combined to form an aggressive form, or is this the ghost of a dragon? Zerke squints at the dragon. And that's where we are now. Fiya, as you think that to yourself,

go ahead and give me an insight check. And I'll say with advantage, if you wanna pop open your book for the quickest reading history. Please do, because I rolled a three on the first one. Speedy. Speedy much better to 22 22 okay, you grab your book real quick Start just like flipping pages really quickly. Excuse me real quick. Someone hold my book light. It's dark in the cave

Oh my god, okay book far is out so book far cannot hold the book like no classic book far move sir in chance a worm to turn it into a little book lightworm and dangles it over fear try not to lick it fear screams and terror haha you have come to find me I pulled you out of my garden 10 years ago haha it's this giant disgusting cave grub that as it finds I make it glow it's not cute more afraid of that it It's just horrifying.

You have grown since I pulled you out of my azaleas. Just ignore the pincers. Fiat, you start flipping through your book here, your Guardians of the Grove book that is essentially an in-game monster manual. And you guys have arrived. I'll say as like, Zerks kind of lighting this little book, Hank, you're looking out over

the mouth of this giant cavern that you guys have just come to. You see that this big cavern houses the ruins of this outpost. There's rubble and debris everywhere. There are some buildings that are half-standing, but most are crushed. You look at the top of the cave, and you can imagine that at one time, the cavern was maybe a little bit more shallow, like there were more like stalactites hanging or something, because now up top, it looks like a bunch of broken off

stalactites and stuff. It looks like there was some kind of disturbance here that caused a bunch of stuff to fall from the top of this cave, but it is still hollowed out. You can still walk around here. And you see that there is this huge ghost dragon prowling the wreckage. It's a spectral monster with huge wings, glowing white eyes,

and semi-translucent scales with a blue tint. At times, it seems to have weight and an effect on the things around it. Like you hear it going through all this rubble. You see huge claws sinking into the dirt and debris as it's like snaking through these ruined alleys. You guys are like a little bit above. You have to kind of walk down to get into this ruin.

But at times you see the ghost dragon is like phasing through buildings and boulders. It seems that it can essentially kind of decide when it's in corpore. and when it's Corp. Fiya, you are able to quickly find a section on ghostly dragons. Unlike a lot of the monsters that you come across that are like weird combinations of things. This is easy. Just G for Ghost Dragon. It's just a fucking big old ghost dragon. To answer your question, you see immediately that it can kind of be either thing a ghost

Dragon can either be the ghost of an actual dragon or at times it can represent a Group of people it says if a normal dragon might have a hoard this one is like hoarding a thousand people's unfinished business hoarding They are being possessed by it it's a hoard of malice there are angry souls that linger are being possessed okay let's go finish all their unfinished business and then we should be good right yeah all right I'll start a list okay cool yeah so I'll say here's what you guys would know about ghosts of all kinds have individual magic resistances, but all of them are resistant to non-magical weapons.

Luckily, that's not your problem anymore. You guys have magical weapons. You know, a dragon is going to have some kind of breath weapon. You can imagine a ghost dragon is probably going to have some kind of psychic effect or something on you. So, it has not seen us yet? It has not on you. So it has not seen us yet? It has not seen you. And you guys know that a ghost can be freed by Either completing its unfinished business or like awakening it out of its frenzy. Okay, I am going to I headcast

The spell blink on myself, but since it seems we are not actively going into battle I will dismiss it. Okay, you dismiss blink. You do see that this I will dismiss it. Okay, you dismiss blank. You do see that this ghostly dragon is clearly looking for something, and it's probably not you, because all you've done is kind of peaked your head in at this point. It's prowling kind of, snaking its head into different decrepit buildings, making a lot of noise. It's either on autopilot, just haunting this place, or Grez and the scraper she traveled here with have been spotted and in fact you hear the dragon shouting and Echoes going through the cavern. It sounds like not just echoes. It sounds like hundreds of voices yelling all at the same time

Returns to the scene of the crime, have you? Glory to Zelbold R3, death to the crux. Mm. Okay. I whisper, I think that we need to kill these trappers. I wonder. You do see that, yeah, you whisper, you've got Zirk and Henry right here.

You see a craggle like six feet ahead of you sneaking around, go, what was that? What was that? I think we need to get rid of these wrappers. They're very loud. Right, we really shouldn't be eating as we sneak up on the sco-strike. Yes, I have a sneak.

I've been wrapping at various doors and surfaces with and I'm thinking I put it away. And Henry has a rhyme prepared. Yes, and the flappers. I'm also gonna stop with the flappers. It look good on you, though. Can I use this moment, Kragel? Can I quickly take a moment to get maybe a little bit

of heat points and a little bit of magic back? You see, Kragel looks annoyed and she goes, yeah, if you want your friend and my friends to die, sure, take all the fucking time you need. Oh, kiddos. If you want, I can try and heal you real quick so that we don't need to wait around. Yes, that would be nice.

This is going to feel weird, but trust me on this, I've been working on this for a bit. I've pulled out my gun and adjusted to the healing setting. I just put it right, it fies back and fire it. Oh boy. Fia, instead turns around and opens up her mouth. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Completely unafraid un blinking.

Yes, I trust you. Wait, it's like somebody shooting a scope of mouthwash at you. It just feels refreshing. Just this burst of green life energy shoots out at you. It is minty, it is absolutely minty. It's absolutely minty and refreshing. Where did you gather such herbs on a Rocky Mountain climb? Let's see how our mom has quite a collection.

Yeah, impressive considering you didn't get to practice last night. I was doing a little bit of a contest on unconscious. Sofia puts a little hand behind her back for a secret high five from Henry. Henry daps her up for sure. What are you doing? Nothing. And that's going to be 14 hit points. Rule, you are such a powerful healer.

It is so impressive. It turns out when you fire it from a gun, you pack a little extra punch. I am also going to use a first level cure wounds on my healing butter than myself. Great. Henry, how you feeling? You know, I feel all right.

I think I got one lick in, but I'm OK. I point the gun at his mouth. I'm good. I'm really good. All right, just in the word. OK. OK. OK, Kragel.

You did not want to snap to kind of chat about this, so I will follow your lead. What have we done if not stopped? Okay, yes, we have stopped, so I'm ready for your feed to go on motion in nine to follow. We're reading books, we're fucking healing each other, we're bunch of friends. Okay, let's go ahead and fucking heal each other. In not with the end fighting. No, Kragel, I'm gonna give you a deep tissue massage after this. My bony fingers will work whatever is going on outside of you, okay?

All right. Why don't we surround this thing and you three kind of get in front of it, absorb its breath weapon, and I'll come up behind it and just step in the fucking back. All right, great. So that's one plan. So we are going directly into a fight. I'm gonna fucking kill this thing, yeah. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, want to explain? Yeah, so, okay, sometimes a dragon can possess the angry spirits that have unfinished business and form a dragon of disparate spirits. And so that is what we're up again.

So actually, we have this peaceful option where we can finish the business that they have unfinished. I'd also like to flag an issue that I have with us three absorbing the breath weapon, even if we do decide to go into the battle. Okay, I was just thinking pure strategy because I could really wall up them if I got behind them. Yeah, but you know, so could we maybe, and we could suspect the breath weapon. So, we could also slowly work our way through each of these ruins and just read all the books in there

and see if there's any clues as to why the dragon attacked. We could just read more books books in there and see if there's any clues as to why the dragon attacked. We can just read more books, how does that sound? Interesting. I was thinking we can try to find the cleric. I can do a detect magic to try to find this cleric energy. I am a cleric, I might be able to suss it out. If we can find her, she is likely with your companions

and then we can try and find out what happened. Out of all three plans, I like Fias the most. That's usually how it breaks down, yeah. You see that kind of convinces, Craig-al. We'll be a lot better off when I've got Ingus and the others by my side instead of you three. I think we'll need all the help we can get. Okay, now you're getting really hostile.

I just like, I like to at first and I'm just really feeling like you don't like me. What has changed about me? I've been the same. This is me. This is Crackle. This is a hundred percent Crackle. You're right.

If I like you before, I have to continue to like you even when you turn your eye around me. You go girl. If you gotta be Crackle, you gotta let Crackle be Crackle. That's your number one with Crackle. Well Crackle, you're going to have to be Crackle in a ritual because I need to do a little ritual So show me your cheek so we can do kisses

We all start Yeah, sir is already presented as cheeks same. Yeah Going around little cheek kisses that I cast the tech magic and then One more and then I'm kind of just holding this concentration and ask we walk around. I'm trying to detect within 30 feet of us any cleric magic. Okay. Great. We'll divide this outpost into like four quadrants. If you're in the same one as the dragon, you'll need to do a stealth check against this passive

perception. It's not looking for you right now. It's trying to sniff out grettes and the others. Can we go to, can we start in the other quadrants? Yeah, you guys want to start away from the dragons. Great. Okay. Guys, go ahead and roll the D4. This is just a pure luck check to see if grettes is in the same quadrant as you guys. That is a two. A two. You guys do a little ritual. I'll say that the dragon is in a different quadrant, just going around screaming.

You are not scrapers. You are raiders. Raiders. Screaming and looking in. And Craig will just lean and go, I don't stealers, guy. I don't know what this guy's talking about. As you're going through this one, Quadrant,

you're looking for like divine magic to try to find this cleric. You do not find any in this quadrant that you guys are in. There are three left. If you want to explore another one that the dragon is not in, you can go ahead and roll another D4. You're good. Go ahead.

Yeah. While we're exploring, I'm gonna put Sprydl in the pocket of my new cloak to keep them safe the dragon is not in, you can go ahead and roll another D4. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. While we're exploring, I'm going to put Spritell in the pocket of my new cloak to keep them safe since they're not in their little carapace anymore. Right. So, Spritell, you hear Spritell kind of trying to talk, but you have this like a speaker that's in the humunculus that kind of uses their magic to be able to speak through it. But this is something you hear like the buzz of a fly or something.

You hear like this little buzz as a sprytle comes near you. And you can tell that, you know, they're trying to communicate, but they can't right now. Oh, just glow green if you're okay, buddy. It does like a flash of green. Okay, that was more aquamarine, but you know, I understand. So okay, but not good. Come in here and be safe. Sprite all flies in your pocket there.

Everything's gonna be okay. Guys, go ahead and roll me in. Go ahead and roll me another D4. I roll day three. Okay, you guys sneak through this debris to another kind of quadrant of the city. It's taking you guys a little bit. You guys are kind of keeping your distance

from where the dragon is. And unfortunately, on this, let's say this is like the eastern half of the outpost you do not detect any divine magic. I'm gonna say there's two more. One that has the dragon in it and one that does not. This is your last chance to find her without having to deal with the dragon's perception. Can do. All right, I'm gonna roll this D4. I got a one. A one. All right, I'm gonna roll this D4. I got a one. A one.

Okay, you guys are detecting magic as you go through some of these buildings. You see that there is the wreckage of rocks covering like tents, like you get a feeling that this was kind of similar to the crux or Zell Bulldog 7. And even based on what the dragon is yelling, this was Zell Bull D'Ar 3. So, this was people lived here, people worked here, and it is just completely wrecked.

How recent does the destruction look? A few years, a few years. Is there any expositional graffiti on the wall? Like somebody writing something like, we are all sinners. Like this, the fate of judgment is coming for us, and then they like explain exactly what we need to do. You do hear the dragon yelling all those things. You're not gonna read your way out of this one. The scrapers are sinners, they will pay.

Glory to Zelpholder 3. Gotcha, gotcha. He sees such a delicate situation. Can I size up Crackle? Yeah, go ahead and give me an insight check on Crackle. Not a delicate situation. Um. Can I size up Kragel? Uh, yeah, go ahead and give me an insight check on Kragel. Not a bad idea. That's gonna be a three. A three?

Kragel looks unshaken. Kragel looks... Kragel just looks impatient, is like leaning in like, do you have a fucking read on this person or what? I'm not getting anything, I'm sorry. Yeah, so... But in my's my magic is really top notch, so it just means that it's better not here. So you guys have gotten the most unlucky rolls possible.

Just, there's only one quadrant of the outpost left that she and her compatriots can be in. The four spot, you guys never got it. So the ghost is in that one. Sometimes you roll wrong. Sometimes you just roll wrong. It makes sense that the dragon's also on to them. And you do see in this area, there do look like there

are more intact buildings that have been crushed by boulders, but are still around. And you see this ghost is Going through the alleys trying to sniff around. Okay, so we got to find that before the ghost dragon does That sounds right and I imagine there's a chance that they are injured or something they might have been caught in some debris falling So I'd love to get over there and try and help them out if we can you see craggo goes all right So should we try to get the jump on this fucking dragon or what no Crackle we're still going to the dragon. We're still doing fias are playing a lot of crazy shit all right Okay, actually if he is going to drop her to deck magic

We know that she is not around here. She is near the dragon However, Crangle do you think that maybe you want to go try to find your compatriot so that you can fight together? You see cragel thinks about it. Guys, go ahead and give me a group insight check. One person do it. Jake do it. Yeah. So well.

Gladly. Ooh, that's a 21. Hank, you see, Kragel looks scared. You see, but she kind of shakes her head and she goes, Why would I give that thing the fucking jump on me? We got four of us here, there's one of that thing, it might be big, but we can fucking surround it. I'm not gonna walk around there, clanking around in my arm or get caught off guard. Yeah, let's stick together, but let's, let's try to find the others so we can, so we can get real numbers on this thing, all right?

All right. I think I look at Kragel and I say, um, When I am very scared. I know I cannot be scared in battle And so I try to channel it into something useful and as I say this I cast a spell that creates a little scared looking Fia it's technically the spell summon shadow spawn And it's basically like a little a summon spell that can fight with us. Yeah, you guys see and it's basically like a little summon spell that can fight with us. Whoa. Uh, yeah, you guys see, um, like Shank, you see a shadow comes out behind Fiya. Okay.

Hey, maybe you're cursed too. Ha ha ha. Oh, her? Yeah, the fearful one, she is very cursed. Fiya, yeah. I, I, I, I do not, I do not want to go in Fiya. Go ahead, Shank, make a friend. But Fiya, you have so many abilities to contribute to the battle

But you say that just because you are strong do you want to fight that do not want to fight you will find out there scared Fia fear fear You can find out there fear that you actually have something to contribute to that you have strength There is sometimes some ways to use fear and let it harder than you and make you on edge. Don't worry, nothing bad ever happens to Shank, my shadow buddy. Yeah, I just was throwing a sun there a couple times. One time there was some water moving around and I died. Oh, oh, shank, cool.

Oh, that sounds like the scariest thing I've ever heard. Very, not very helpful, Shank. And she lasts for an hour, so I guess let's start sneaking. Make a list of it. So I'm going to, while we're prepping, I'm going to go ahead and drink the speed potion I brewed earlier today. I wish it gives me just extra, an extra 10 feet of movement so that I can hopefully rush over to Grez if I see her and you or whatnot.

How large is the cavern that we're going to be exploring? Like how large is that quadrant? It's big It's you guys are gonna be like moving around. This is like so like yeah, I can't I can't just like move shank around over there quietly No, you can well How far how far can shank be from you? He can only go 30 feet from me. He can only go 30 feet from you I'll say using shank shank could essentially give you the help action and The logic there is that shank is 30 feet ahead of you Scouting and you're moving behind him and that way you roll flat

Everyone in the party has disadvantage on stealth except for sir. Oh, can I do the same with fierre? Yes So everybody everybody can roll flat except for Crackle. Oh, I was gonna ask about crackle, by the way. Yeah, she wearing armor? Yeah, she's got big, they're called scrapers because they like, you know, repurpose all this metal stuff. So she's got like wicked, some freaking wicked plate mail on. Yeah, repurposes doesn't roll off the tongue

like scrapers, they're like dumpster divers, I got you. Sweet, so the way we'll do this is we will just do a group stealth check that means as long as half of the people pass, that means that you guys will go undetected. I'll roll for a craggle first to see how well you guys have to do. 15, you're not gonna know if that passes or fails yet. Okay, that's not bad.

Enjoy your roll. Yeah, everybody roll your stealth. Let's say, uh, disgusting mildewed 20 for Zirk. Great. It's a 19 for Henry, okay? That is an 8 for Fia. Oh! Fia is like humming a really creepy tune.

No, she's not the head, isn't she? No, it's a really catchy tune. It's so catchy. So we're saying half had to pass. No she's not the head isn't she. No it's a really catchy tune, it's so catchy. So we're saying half had to pass. Craggle and Fia failed, Bedserk and Henry passed. So I'll say Craggle and Fia are kind of clumping along in the back, but Shank is kind of ahead,

leading the way, sneaking around. I can't help but hum along with Fira's tune. Got it, Tonte. I can't help but hum along with Fero's tune. Got a taunting. I like to go inside of Shank so I can disguise myself in him. This is weird. This is weird, but it works. It's weird. And as you guys are sneaking through these abandoned buildings

and stuff, and like you see evidence that certain buildings were once tavern, certain buildings were once homes and stuff like that, all like hollowed out and destroyed. Guys, go ahead and give me insight checks. It's a 16. 16. 19. 14.

Okay. Please. You guys all with pretty good insight checks, you can imagine that they have hidden away in some cellar or basement or something. You're not going to find them just poking around randomly. Okay. Okay. Do I have a sense that if we were to attack this dragon, rather than do the business of the ghosts that it is possessing, that this would be a less moral outcome?

Much like when you fought Sadie Bellwater, you can weaken something and then reason with it. There is no moral thing to do. You can try to feed up, crackle to it. You can, but like fighting it is not necessarily killing it off. We're just, we're like, are you getting it? We're like, are you getting it? It's craziness right now.

Correct. If that's the case, I think that we just have to fight this fight. Yeah. Are we all in agreement? I guess, yeah. The only other option I can think of is that we try and get the dragon We just have to fight this fight. Yes. Are we all in agreement? I guess, yeah. The only other option I can think of is that we try and get the dragon to find Grez first and then we, you know, all team up the end.

But I don't know if that's the best plan. I don't know if the dragon would know that Grez is not part of a problem for it. No, it does seem like it's got kind of a cacophony of opinions going on up there. Group think is very dangerous. Yeah, maybe once we jump out they'll join us. Okay, let's I'm going to cast Blink on myself again. Okay. And let's go into battle.

Let's try to get a perhaps a surprise round on this huge ghost drive. I'm going to say everybody go ahead and roll initiative. I'm going to say that we're not going to, because half of you guys failed, I'm not going to give you guys a full surprise round for we're not going to do group stealth checks. It's always tough doing the due diligence. When as a player, I just absolutely want to fight this dragon.

Oh, I wanted to fight him from the start. All right, that's an 18. 10 for FIA. Seven for Zirk. Zirk creates a shadow puppet named Zillowette that doesn't have any abilities, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha What I missed what happened if you do any of that weird shit on the wrong side of Zobal Darryl get fucking mugged dude Yeah, I know Okay, good act I really like you Okay, here's here's what I will say since you guys will do like kind of half of a surprise round We'll start at initiative 18. We will skip this dragon's layer action

You see this ghost dragon is like snaking around looking for grays and is just yelling out Scrappers show yourself show yourself show yourself show yourself Scrappers blood and stone glory is out on our three Death to the crux death to the crux death to the crux whoa this is kind of study like electronic music. Yeah, if they could all harmonize, I think we'd really have something going on. Yeah, I could dance to that.

Hanna, you are first. Death to the Crocs! Death to the Crocs! It's like ghost trap music, I really like it. Yeah. Um, okay, I wanna, I wanna hunker down behind like a wall. Just like as close to the dragon as I can, and nod to shank, go. May?

Are you fucking... That takes big. You, I know, that's why you're gonna... You wanna... You want fear at a seedest? You want fear at a seedest? Yeah, we gotta show her that there's nothing to be afraid of. You run towards that dragon,

and just yell like, glory the Zelbaldar 7. But also stay like 30 feet away from fear, okay? You see, a fear goes, what is he doing, Fia? He is doing something brave and you are going to... That's something! I see Shank runs out. You guys see Shank sprinting towards the ghost dragon, not necessarily bravely in more of the way of somebody who is resigned to his fate, but also screaming.

And you see Henry, as you have these shadow claws that you gained a while ago, but as you kind of learn more about yourself and as you begin to come into your blade powers and whatnot, you suddenly see the shadow mixes with a green energy. And don't lick it. And it forms a pull arm in your hands, specifically a guise arm. Guise arm. Not a GUI apostrophe S arm, specifically a guy's arm. Not a G-U-I-A-Poster-F-S arm, but a guy's arm.

G-U-I-S-A-R-R-P-E. I hope not. Which is like a giant hooked pole arm. It looks like something, Henry, that as your time as a third mate on the sea, you would probably have had to fight like manners of sea horrors and stuff, keeping them off the boat with these long pole arms. You feel it appear in your hand, transferring from your claws to this hooked weapon, and you see a shadowy version forms in shank's hands as he runs forward and swings at the ghost dragon and the ghost dragon just goes, is that a guy's arm? You just got a guy's arm?

Guys, your arm? He's arm. Henry, go ahead and make your attack for shank. Yeah, you know, on the plus side, it's going to be a lot easier to wipe my ass. Crackle goes, what the fuck are you talking about? I'll be right back. So just before Shank swings, I swap places and I'm going to attack from his position because I want to use this guys arm myself.

You guys see Shadow suddenly appears back and Fira goes, oh thank goodness, Shank you're okay. Wow, am I feeling a love connection here? It's a will they won't they why they should they? We both have so much to fear. Wow, it's a 24 to hit. Super hits, that's 14 damage on the first attack. You slash into this spectral dragon.

You see at first, you start to cut cut through it and it's like you're you're trying to swing it fog or something but then you see it glows green and there's this magical blade energy and there's a shock through it and you can see it's having an effect. Ow, ow, ow, ow, how dare you enemy-absorbable-darrr! Yeah, that's the guy's arm. You are a scrapper! Not necessarily, but I don't know whose side I'm on yet.

So, I'm a scrappy, that's for sure. I'm gonna swing the guy's arm around and take a second attack. Great. That is a 19 to hit. 19 hits? And that's 7 damage on that time. 7 damage? Okay.

And now I am going to unleash Hank, swapping places with him again. Great, sorry about that, bud. Damn it! That's a 22 to hit. Got hits. All right, Hank, Shank likes the guys arm too. And that is 11 damage.

After Henry's turn, that is Kragel's turn. You see Kragel just makes a guttural noise and begins expanding, and her armor begins expanding with her. Buh! Just becomes, just suddenly becomes large, becomes like a large creature

like much bigger than any of you guys goes from being this short deep folk to this large deep folk, the size of like a burly orc. Wow. Taller than Fiya. Much taller than Fiya. Yeah, she's like six and a half feet tall. Fiya exercises her neck to look up

for the first time in a long time. Ha, ha, ha. And she charges forward and is going to make an attack against this ghost dragon. Stop lying to everyone, the crux rules! Just, I guess, let her do her work and then we'll deal with it. Yeah. She misses big time. She's a little slow going.

You see, she's got like a big, heavy blade. And she takes a big swing. Would do a lot of damage if she hit. Unfortunately did not hit. Misses, that is Fiya's turn. Okay. First I go to Fira and I say Fira, I'm going to go away and... No, don't, no, the bad part of the plan. No plan.

And perhaps blink out of existence, but here's the plan, after I go and I always put what she's supposed to do after I go. Sweet, well yeah whatever you want to do. Okay yeah I'm going to run right up to it and I'm going to try to attack it. Sweet, Fiya you run forward leaving Fira behind. Okay I'll just wait here. Okay I'm gonna miss on my first attack that's a 13, does a 13 13 hit 13 is not going to hit this thing is I Alright via missus twice, but now is where the blink Spell comes into effect roll a d20 at the end of each of your turns for the duration of the spell on a roll of 11 or higher

You vanish from the current plane of existence So now I'm gonna roll and find out, you vanish from the current plane of existence. So now I'm gonna roll and find out if I vanish from the current plane of existence. So the purpose of the spell is effectively to just take you out of battle for a round unless it's your turn. Got it. So go ahead and roll.

Fia goes up, swings twice. You see this thing seems like it has to become kind of corporeal to be able to attack and stuff, to be able to fight or to affect its surroundings. You see it kind of goes translucent as Fiya swings through it, has no effect, but then Fiya herself starts to maybe disappear. Ha ha ha. Fiya's unblinking eyes for the first time since you've known her

blink. She's making the peace sign. Where is she going? Fuck me, I got a four, so I didn't go. You got a four. Fiya stays put. I am putting that dice to the side,. Where's she going? Fuck me, I got a four so I didn't go out. You got a four. Fias stays put. I am putting that dice to the side because she's giving me nothing.

She's like a little kid who's hiding just has her hands over her eyes and is just standing right next to the dragon. Um, and then, um, that is so anticlimactic. Imagine if that had been a cool turn. Okay, well, it's not over just yet because. We're thinking about it. Now, Vera is gonna run and do her once a day dreadful scream. Okay.

She's gonna run so that she's within 30 feet of the dragon but not Fiya or Shank. Okay, so she just, yeah, she runs, so there's like a cone or line, not directly at shank. Just going to run over the side here and... Ah! Ah!

Oh! Oh! Fia, my ears are so big, you have to stop! That just, it hurts. You guys are normal amounts, but it's going to actually have an effect on the dragon. And then for the dragon has to do a wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the spirit for a minute.

Okay, cool, that's both ways. Which would be good because frightened creatures have disadvantage attacks. Fiya, you see that this dragon just kind of locks eyes with fear and does not seem to be affected by it. Okay, then she will also do her little melee weapon attack. Oh no! Ah!

Ah! Ah! This is insane! I cannot fucking roll right now. Ah! Ah! But she misses because her roll to six on the dice. Um, and then with her bonus action, she's going to take the hide action in, uh, darkness. Okay, good, good bye everybody.

Yep, good turn, good turn. Now you're just repeating. Bye. Ah, yeah, she hides. She looks over at everyone and she says, through everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. It's not, it's not easy having a shadow, you know. I think I do not deserve Battilda's blessing. You see the ghost dragon just looks around and goes, I don't know, does anyone here know what happened? I don't know what happened. Did you see that?

She just came out and missed a bunch and yelled and ran away. Anything I rolled was on the R7. On an issue of 10 after Fia is this thing. Second layer action. We didn't use the first one because you guys got to got the jump on it, but there's another layer action. You guys all suddenly see the dragon breaks into hundreds of deep folk ghosts and fly at you, bunch of them yelling, screaming, you see boulders falling, you're kind of seeing the attack happen in real time, and they swirl around each one of you guys, and you are like psychically overwhelmed. Everybody go ahead and give me wisdom saving throws. Oh fuck. Oh, shout out to the two crew.

It's a 15 for Zirk, okay? 24 for Fiya. A 24, okay. Yeah. Can I have like 14 of those? Zirk. I wish I could put them on my previous turn. Zirk, Fiya and Cragal all pass,

but Henry, you feel completely overwhelmed, and in fact, you fully have the experience in being in Zellboldar III as there's this destruction. You see like boulders falling down and stuff, and you are almost, you are possessed by a ghost of like a fleeing citizen as they're trying to get out of Zelbaldar III. So Henry wants to run away yet again.

Yeah, so you guys just see, you guys see Henry just like looking up wide eyed trying to figure out how to get away. Yeah, we gotta get out of here. What did you see Henry? I'm seeing what's happening, you know? It feels like I'm the only one. Would you narrated like an audio book?

That is the Ghost Dragons turn. The Ghost Dragon is going to go ahead and take some cracks at Fia. She just has her hands over her eyes. I don't know what she thinks she's doing. Thruly I did absolutely nothing. Takes a claw attack at you. That is a 25 to hit. That's claw attack at you. That is a, that's a 25 to hit. That's 13 damage, Fiya.

Okay. And then it's going to do a withering bite. You see the head pops around and takes a bite at you as Fiya, as this thing opens its mouth. You see darkness and feel as if you're falling in a hole during like an avalanche as a thing goes to bite into you. Damn.

That's 23 to hit and that's 13 damage. Go ahead and give me a constitution saving throw. Let me also just do my, that fails and Fira is gone because I failed my concentration. Wait no, use your charge. It is a charge. My charge, alright. It use a charge. I shall be right. Smell those salts. I remember, sir, can I smell this,

smelly necklace around my head? See, I did a good thing once. And then I do a constitution you say, if you say? Yep. Oh my god, I really use so bad. I think I'm going to have to chronil shift on that one. Okay, do it. That's not even gonna do it.

12. Jesus Christ, Fia, you take 19 of the Chrotic Damage. Oh my God. Oh my God. Wow. Oh my God. This thing does not even look close to her. That is Zerk's turn.

Okay, well that changes things. Zerk just hustles over to where Fia is, Flips is gunned back to the health setting, and Cox it, puts it in Fia's mouth, and just delivers a huge blast of minty-good second-level cure wounds. Nice. Mr. Zirk, don't bring me back.

I did nothing. I did nothing. I danced around. I did not damage. Fia, you are worthy of the blade Don't let anyone especially yourself tell you different Thank you. It's gonna sting a little bit. It's very minty. Okay. That's 21 points of healing right on there We go I come back and I feel above half health

Mr. Sirk your potions in that gun are more powerful than ever. Never lose this again. It took losing it to understand how truly important it is. And this is Rick Whisperer's Yeha. That was the real practice. Then that is the lair action. You see the ghost is going to look at Zirk, turn its head. You see the image of a falling deep folk, falling through a fizzier,

and then suddenly you switch places with it. You guys see a fizzier opens up underneath him, Zirk go ahead and give me a dixterity saving throw. Whoa, 11? 11 is a fail. Zirk runs in place for a second, then falls in the fizzier. That was comical. No, it wasn't, I'm hurt.

Jesus. Why are you laughing? Zirk, you take 17 damage and fall 20 feet down a hole. You guys see a fissure opens, it's just just plummet's down it. Perfect. That is Henry's turn, Henry, you are incapacitated until next round.

You incapacitated, allitated until incapacitated. Incapacitated. Did I take falling damage or just the 17 damage? Just the 17 damage, that's the like bludgeoning damage that you take from hitting the craggy rocks on the way down. Cool. So you're just in a hole. Speaking of crags, that's craggles turn.

Cragles going to try to do better this time. Takes a swing at the ghost dragon Go, I'm a Kragel rock. That one is going to hit Kragel in this big form does more damage, but you see that She's not prepared to fight ghosts. She has a big Steel sword that is not magical. You can see that it's only having like half the effect. No So she does 11 damage. I am considering we might have to run from this situation. I had an escape plan, but I had to use it on healing instead, which is off the and starts shouting for backup. And guess if you're somewhere in there, show yourself. Help us out here.

That's what we need. There we go. I'm going to have them roll a perception check with disadvantage. Let's say Jake, go ahead and give me two rolls. They both had to be above a 15. Okay. That is a 19. And an 8. And an above a 15. Okay. That is a 19.

Whoa, and an 8. And an 8? Yeah. Okay, that's not going to do it. A craggle does not get any response as she starts shouting. Fear that is your turn. Okay. Should we try to make a retreat and hide in a cellar like the others did?

That's what I've been saying! Okay, okay. I'm already in a cellar! You do see that Zirk has fallen 20 feet down. It's pretty nice down here! I would like to, but I'd like to go, is use my movement to go, try to help Zerk out. Okay.

And then I will cast Silent Image. In front of the dragon, I will create a parody of scrappers. Oh, okay. You see an image of like four versions of Cragal stand in front of the dragon in a ghostly image. And you see Cragal goes, hey, what the hell? Do the Cragal dance. I'm sorry.

I make them all dance a little bit. OK, I think we all have one turn to try to hide and he fucking sell her because we are so fucked. And then I'm also, I've moved down as far as I can to help Zirk get out. Great, I'll say on Zirk's turn, he'll have advantage on that likes check to get out. So if you begin to climb down the fissure,

reach your hand out to Zirk. Okay. That is, do do do, another layer action. Good Lord. This thing's second layer action. My excitement to fight the Ghost Dragon has quickly wittered. I have like such a sick plan and everything. Bam!

You had such a cool slew of things. I truly love it. I love it. You guys, you guys see, it looks like there are ghostly stalactites. Like, this is almost an image of what happened to Zelbaldar when it was destroyed. You see an explosion above it and a giant stalactite begin to fall down. Fia, go ahead and give me a dexterity saving throw. I am using a new dice.

Good. 12 plus one, I got a 13. You guys see, Fiya is struck by the stalactite. Oh no. You take eight damage and you guys see she is pinned down by this big Ghostly rock. Wait does she fall into the I'll say she's she's on like the I'll say she's on like the edge, but she can't help you. She's stuck now. Oh That is we just live in this hole. I don't know. Maybe this is a new home

Maybe even that one bees fall. it will turn into a seller. Yeah, I'll say, I'll say Fia is maybe like five feet, like basically she just got pinned to the wall by this giant, by this giant ghostly stalactite. That's not, it's more of a spell than it is like an actual rock. But she is like pierced by this ghostly arcane energy that keeps her up against the rock wall, zirks at the bottom of this hole

that is just hank and craggle up against the rock wall. Zerks at the bottom of this hole that is just Hank and Kragel up there and Shank. And Shank, yeah, our hero. The new heartwear, so fucked, dude. This thing is going to go ahead and do its horrifying breath. It breathes. No. And you see ghostly images of the ghosts of Zell Bull Dhar trying to escape.

You are overrun with this horrifying vision. Go ahead and give me a wisdom saving throw hank. And this is, I'm already petrified of another thing. You were just incapacitated. You are now, now that it is the Ghost Dragon's turn, you're no longer incapacitated. I see. So you lose, so you lose one ghostly vision And then another one comes at you, but this one is like tramp this one is like trampling you okay. Yeah, you know

I think I think I think I'm actually oh fuck oh fuck 19 Passes so you only take half you take 21 damage. Oh my god. But Cragill takes 42 and looks really fucked up and Cragill looks frightened. We gotta get out of here. We gotta get the fuck out of here. Okay, sure. Yeah, help me get my friends out of this fucking hole and we'll run. They're so tied for them. We gotta keep going. We gotta run. If we want any of us to get out of here, it's me and you. I'm not going anywhere, Craig Gold. We are all dead unless you help me. That is Zerk's turn. Zerk, it's just 20 feet down.

I'll say with a successful athletics check, you can get out. Okay, can I scramble up and try and help Fia? Yes, you can scramble up and try to help Fia. I'll say Fia's about halfway between you and getting out of this fizzor. So go ahead and give me an athletics check. I'll say this is easy. I'll say...

What do you say I'm six feet under? Ten feet under, and even better TV show, because it's deeper. Wow, and even deeper grave. My sleeping trench is too deep. I made it too deep. Classic Reaper humor. I will say DC8, Zirk. Okay, great. I will say DC8, Zerk.

Okay, great. I think I can manage that. I can't manage that, that's a six. Okay, I'm going to, I roll back into my head and I say time devil, we are in the darkest situation we have ever been in. And it is no surprise, we are up against the four. I have never fought anything like before. I need you now more than ever and then chrono shift great

Zerg go ahead and roll it again Zerks muscles like flinch tighten up Yes, that's a 19 sweet. Yeah, you're able to Climb up you see via has been pierced by this spectral stalactite. You're able to, you full on dispel it. You have magical means. I'm holding it with my magic gun. Yeah, exactly.

You blast it. It does like a dispel effect, essentially. You see, Via begins to fall. You grab her. She's able to cling back onto the wall. I'll say you're not strong enough to carry her up, but she can get out on her turn. I got the time juice in my veins! I can carry you!

You immediately start to struggle to carry her to put her in. It's a very clear issue. Yeah, I think the problem is the time juices in my veins and I kind of give it to other people. It gives you a pump, but it goes away like really quickly. I'm addicted to time, Jews, I don't know what to say. Zirk, do you want to climb out of the fizzier? Yeah, would that be like my full action, or can I do something else?

I'll say if you want to, if you, you can do something else, but you won't be able to hide unless you use it as your action. Because none of us are rogues. Where is Henry currently? Henry is right near the dragon. But he's looking better than you guys, and he's still got a full turn.

Do you want to just dash to find where we can try to hide? Yeah, I think I'll probably do a perception check and try and find a good hiding spot. Great. That's a 22. 22, sweet. I'll give you advantage on a stealth check wherever you want to hide.

Yeah, I look for a seller. Great, full of tasty cheeses. Sweet. That's a 16. Zirk, you find one of the more put together houses. You see that there is debris all over the floor and stuff, but the foundation has held. You're able to basically slide in.

It has cover on the sides. The front door is busted off, but the house itself is still standing, and there's enough debris in there that you can literally like slip under the debris, so there's, you know, it would be very, very hard to find you, and you hide under this debris here, you seem pretty well hidden, okay. After Zirk, that is another layer action. Did Fia and Henry C, which way I ran? Yeah, yeah, I would say- I know that it smells like I can follow it on the wings. Yeah, I can use tinkering to specifically create a scent

that they can use to follow me. Whoa, the gun smells pretty minty already. Yeah, wait. I just follow the gun mint. Yeah, you guys smell electric blue, Listerine. Winter green gun. Yeah, Winter green gun.

State, we have a great mint, double mint gun. Henry, go ahead and give me a constitution saving throw. This ghost turns to you, lock size with you. You see suddenly it breaks into a vision of a bunch of scrappers in this thick armor, stabbing at you, you feel like a panic, like you're trying to run away, and these scrappers are like in your way. Excuse me, excuse me, yeah, you're stabbing me. Sorry about that. That's a 16.

A 16 is going to pass, you just take half, you take 11. Okay. Henry, that is your turn. You see, Kragel looks completely fucking panicked. You see, Zirk has just like successfully slipped away, but you smell the fresh winter green in the direction of like this broken-down house. There is a silent image of scrapers.

Okay, well, I guess the one thing I want to do is can I have Shank help Fiya out of this hole as I'm nice as I'm running great Basically, I can get like a 15 or 30 foot head start and the last thing shank does is great So give me a hand you start to run in the direction of the Delicious winter green I want to get shot in the face with that gun. Go ahead and give me an athletics check. I'll say 17 or higher and he can just yank her right out of there.

And if it's less than that, he can just help her on her turn. No, it's only 11. OK, so he puts his hand out. He grabs Fia. Fia will be able to pull herself up on her turn. On Kragel's turn, full disengage, panicked, runs in the other direction, you don't even know, not even following her, just gone.

Okay. Fia, that is your turn. Okay, I look at Shank and I say if you can help get me out of here, I will put in such a good word for you with Fia. Oh, really? How does that work with shadows? With shadows? Because like me?

You know, you look more than I do. I'm not a shadow. I'm not engaged in this. So maybe you and Fiera need to figure it out. Right, because if you and Henry were together, that would be weird. But me and Fiera, I think it's weird. It feels kind of weird, right?

It feels weird. You know, but I'll let you make that call. All right. Just help me out. Yeah, I know. I'm gonna stay out of it. That's what's going to happen. Shank helps pull you out. Go ahead and make an athletic check with advantage. Thank you.

Zerg is hiding, thinking I hope Fira and Shank get together. That's gonna be 26. 26. Yeah, you jump right out there You and Shanks start taking off actually Henry and Fiya both give me Hide checks with advantage you do see as we get into this things Layer action slash next action. It begins to turn towards the silent image that Fiya has created of the scrappers,

begins to do like some kind of psychic effect, and you see it goes into like bite at them, causing just enough of a distraction for you guys to attempt to hide. Go ahead and give me a spell checks with advantage. Oh, okay, 14. It's not great for me, they're 15. Okay, 14. It's not great for me, they're 15. 16, 15, 14 on stealth.

You guys all go to this crumbling house as an action on this thing's next turn. It attempts to chomp the silent image, destroys the image. You see like a ghostly swirl as all of the cragles disappear. You see the real cragle is just fucking sprinting off. Zirk, that is your turn. You are still in hiding, but you can cast something on yourself.

Or I'll even let you pop out and cast it on like one of your friends. I will go ahead, I'm realizing I only have 12 HP So I will go ahead and heal myself. I'll just do a cure wounds on myself And then while I'm doing that while I've got this gun to my chest And I'm just pumping myself full of minty green healing energy. Okay Can I look around the room to see I know that Zalbald are as a place full of tunnels and passages. There's no like Sellers or anything in here that we could maybe escape to and then try and move around in. You do not see a seller here but you do see that there are... this looks like a sort of residential

area and it is survived better than other places. That being said you're going to need to do a new hide check if you move in a big way. Gotcha. Okay. Well, if we're safe here, I think we should just try and group up and decide our next plan. Okay, so Zirk is going to go ahead and heal himself. Layer action is not gonna affect you guys

while you guys are hiding, Ghost Dragon is gonna need to look on their turn. Henry, that is your turn. Okay, I'm gonna use my action to have Shank just sort of pile up more debris and dust around me and hide as good as I can. Okay, go ahead and give me, I'll say plate mail and stuff, it makes sense that it would be bad for sneaking in somewhere, but if you're just like staying still and like burying yourself, I'll say you can do this with advantage.

Great. There you go, Shank, you can do this with advantage. Great. There you go, Shank. Pile up the dirt. Nice. Okay, cool. And then there's room for me. Where?

Yes. Plenty of room. Just keep on piling it up. You can get right in. Close it up. Yep. Right around the neck. Perfect.

That's 16. Okay, 16. Fiya, this is Brave what we're doing. On Kragel's turn, Kragel just continues to dash. You don't even see where she is anymore. 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 wearing bird dogs.

Okay, that's it for me, Go team pants and enjoy the show. Ah, Fiya, that's your turn. I am going to who is who is the most fucked up? I assess the wounds of my compatriots. I'm at 28. I'm at 25. We're both pretty fucked. I'm going to guidance myself while I go try to find another place with a seller. And I'm going to cast sanctuary on Mr. Henry. So I have I have a second wind.

Oh, that's true. I cast sanctuary on Mr. Zurich. Oh, okay. Fia, go ahead and give me a perception check as you sneak out into like another row of houses. That's a not one. You you look around and you cannot see anything.

Would you like to hide? What would you like to do? Yes, I would like to hide. Yes. Go ahead and give me a stealth check. That is a six. Six. Okay.

What is going on? God. Time, Devilee. I told everyone right before we started recording that I didn't put my dice out in the moon. Like I usually do. Oh, that'll do it. Dice Christ is angry at me.

After Fia, that is the ghost dragon's turn. I will have Kragel do a stealth check. Kragel has very bad stealth, but she has to get worse than Fia. Otherwise, the ghost is going to go for Fia. Fia, you got a six on your stealth? A six. Okay, Cragile will have disadvantage because she's just running clonking along. Come on, come on, come on. You see the ghost begins to move as if to fly off towards Cragil, but then there's a crunch of debris from Fia

and you see the ghost turns and begins flying at Fia. It is going to go ahead and take a, it swoops down to the alley between the houses and just appears and takes a claw attack at Fia. Fuck. Natural one. Fuck, that's a knock on your side. Keep that up.

And that is going to attempt another withering bite. Bite your own ass, dragon. That is a dirty 20 to hit. Oh, I take it. 15 damage. 15, I'm down. You down? Shit.

You guys see, this dragon takes a Withering bite of Fia and She drops that is Circus turn Circus are in hiding this thing is Over your friend tier can I from hiding? Fire my gun at it and then run over to Fia and then use a bonus action healing word? You can. Coming out of hiding you will get advantage on this shot, Zerk.

Alright, that's good. Advantage is good. That is going to be a 25 hit. You see as a Fia, the last thing you hear, as like everything goes dark, is you hear the bang of Zerke's gun. And you see a giant fireball come out of it, Henry. Zerke, you take a big shot at this dragon. It's nine damage, cool. And then I'll duck down next to Fia and use my version of Healing Word,

which is Healing Worm. And I pluck a worm from the ground and fill it with healing goo and I just pop it right in fiasmo. Oh God. I give... I slurp it down. I spin it back up.

You have come to strangle me from the garden. I blocked you long ago. Your vengeance will never be saved. They're still juicing there, Fia. They're still juicing there. You're gonna need to suck that again. A delicious healing grub. Yum.

I will say, since this thing is on the move, and it's not stationary kind of defending its turf, it's kind of like on the hunt right now, it will not have a layer action, Henry, that is your turn. Okay. Fia, that is 11 points of healing. Oh.

11 points of healing for you. Thank you, thank you. Okay, I'm gonna come out of hiding, I guess, and just be like, what's the plan? We runnin', we runnin' or fightin'. We runnin'! Running and hopefully just sleeping for two days in a cell or somewhere.

All right, let's go. I'm gonna go into a dead sprint, and if there's anything Shane can do on the way out. Yeah, you can give an advantage to yourself on stealth or to somebody else. Okay, I'll give it to, I'll give it to fear. Cool. Thanks.

Yeah, I will say, I will say, my own kind of homebrew here is going to be, since you guys are in this kind of war zone with this dragon banging around, plate mail is not going to be as much of a hindrance as it would be you sneaking into a room, sneaking up on somebody. So I'll say you guys have flat rolls and you have advantage when you're helped. Thank you Brian. You're welcome. Thank you. Brian. That okay. And then Henry are you yourself hiding? Yeah. I myself am hiding and I'm also going

to second wind as I'm, Great. As I'm puffing and puffing away. Henry, are you going to a different area? Yes, I'm going to go to, is there like a, kind of like a city center? Look for a post office. Yeah. They always have deep cellar.

Go ahead and give me a perception check, Henry. Okay, that is an 18. Henry, with an 18, you look at these alleys of houses back here You can't tell which ones have sellers, but you do see a flash of light hitting metal Like it looks like a sword or some piece of like a scrapper's armor

So it's either could be craggle could be actually craggle ran in the other direction It could be one of like a scrapper's armor. So it's either, could be craggle, could be actually craggle ran in the other direction. It could be one of the other scrappers. I thought for a second it might be a metal bulkhead to a seller, but this might even be better. So I'm gonna say Henry, I'm gonna say, this person is 60 feet away, so you can either use your action in hide or you can just dash to them.

Okay. Or you could do 30 feet and then hide. Or you could do 30 feet and then hide. I'm gonna do 30 feet and then hide because I don't wanna blow their cover. Great. Okay. Go ahead and give me a stealth check. Yeah, that's 19. 19, great.

That's Crackles Turn. Crackles Long Gone. Fia, that is your turn. You see the direction that Henry is running in, but then he kind of disappears around a row of houses. Are you doing exactly what Mr. Henry did? Great, go ahead and roll yourself with advantage. Shed out to the two crew, but I also got a 16,

so 17. 17, nice. Nice. That is the ghost dragon's turn. Zerk is not hiding. Hmm. Hmm. This thing is going to... If I remember correctly, I'm pointing a good gun at it.

Right. So Zerk... Oh, can I actually though? So I only needed to do an action. I technically still have an action. You have a bonus action. A bonus action. Then I will bonus action as I'm running away.

Chuck the rest of the healing grub to Mr. Zirk. And I say, I think that it was a little bit left. And it will cast a second level healing word. You really should finish all the go- Oh, just pops in your mouth. 10. 10. Awesome.

All right, this thing is going to attack Zirk. Bring it. First one is a claw attack. That's a natural three. That's only an 11 to hit. That misses. Misses. Second attack is the Withering Bite.

Withering Bite your own ass. That's a 26 to hit. That's a good breather. Withering Bite yours. Bite yours. Bite yours. All their own agreements. Bite his ass. Bite his ass. Oh, they're on agreement! White is ass, bite his ass!

Oh, they're in an accord! Yeah! They all agree. That's only six damage on the bite, but you still need to do a con saving throw or take more damage. I am good at that. I flash my coat in front of it and whisper, thanks, thanks! Oh fuck, I didn't flash it off, that's only a 10.

Okay, you take 21 damage, Zirk. Oh, okay. Oh my god. And then, Zirk, that is your turn. Ron, I look in the face of this dragon and say, the only withering bite I like is the withering bite of winter green gun. I lick my gun and I barrel roll away.

Did he just lick his gun and I barrel roll away. Did he just lick his gun, lick his gun, lick his gun, what? What? That's his new thing. And I'm gonna try and hide. Great, so this thing is gonna get one claw tack against you. Okay, oh boy. That is only a 14 misses.

This is a Texas swipe at you, but Zirk, you hop away. I try to collect a little Ectoplasm as it swipes. Great, there's just the slightest amount. There's an ectoplasm grub that has been eating feeding on the grub of this ghost. Oh, what a strange organism. I will learn much from you. Cool, and then stealth check?

Yeah, go ahead and make a stealth check. Great. That is only a 10. 10 total. Total. Back around only a 10. 10 total. Total. Back around to Hank. You are getting closer. You do see that there is like one scrapper

in the doorway here. This burly deep folk dude, it's got like a fierce helm with like ram horns, but kind of like craggle doesn't seem to really care about you guys too much. It's just like on lookout, like trying to make sure the ghost dragon doesn't come towards him. You see this dragon is like stalking Zerk. That's your turn. Okay, sorry to do this to you buddy, but you're gonna have to get torn a sunder just one last time. Don't, don't, alright. I'm gonna find the fucking basement with a the world to try to distract the dragon from.

Whoa, that's rad. Okay, so this thing sees Shank coming at it. Shank can make a couple of attacks too. Sweet, yeah, Shank is going to once again run. Naaaah! I know Zerg can only be torn asunder one square as I can be torn asunder many times and come back for more hell that is my life.

It's really your flexibility that any system needs to be flexible. It's your blessing, not your curse. Sweet, go ahead and make some attacks for Shank. I'm so impressed, Shank. You know, if Thira's not gonna make a move, maybe I will. Shank just fucking rolled a 22 and a 20 with that guy's arm. Nice.

I also, that's a spicy guy's arm. It might be right, it might be Gizarm, Jake. I'm not sure, it's arm. Definitely the one YouTube, you know what people are gonna tell me Either by ads or um, you know on patreon or something I watch I watched for different YouTube videos on how to pronounce it and everyone did it differently. Yeah, wow Okay, I mean I guess it is like an ancient weapon. Yeah, it's an ancient weapon. I think they don't really yeah It's either guys arm gizarm is on is it Italian. Yeah, it's an ancient weapon. I think they don't really yeah, it's either guys armed gizarm

Is it Italian? I think it's German Yeah, I think it's like ancient Germanic. Yeah, it looks like it was a German leading to all right That is a 26 total for both of shanks attacks whoa Helio attacks from Shank you see This thing is not nearly on Death's Door or anything, but that gets the Dragon's attention. You see, Zirk, you are running down the street

as this ghost dragon flies in and out of buildings chasing you. Shank runs up, slashes it twice with the guy's arm, Gizarm, slashes it twice. And there are like echoes of arcane energy as the blade strikes. And it seems to have stopped in place there. Henry, you still have the rest of your movement. You can run wherever you'd like. Yeah, I'm gonna try to run a little bit closer

to this scrapper. He is within 30 feet if you wanna just get to his house. Okay, yeah, wanna get to his house. Okay. Yeah, when I get to his house sweet I mean in your house you Hey, buddy Yeah, Henry you run into this destroyed house You see that the walls are still up on the outside this one dude with the ram helm Is leaning around the corner kind of looking out like on guard?

You see that there is another dude like another scrapper You see that there is another dude like another scrapper I'm poking his head out of like a wooden trap door that is like a seller farther in the house And you see the dude with the ram helm goes what are you doing? Who sent you here? Who the fuck are you? I don't know if you've been keeping watch, but we just got our asses kicked by that dragon that I think you're also hiding from I'm not I'm not hiding from shit. Oh, okay, we're just hanging out in the house then yeah I'm just here. Why you so tense. I'm not tense. You're flanking and Barely. Um, yeah, you see he looks not thrilled to see you here

But it's more concerned about the dragon seems frazzled. Fia, that is your turn. Okay, I'm going to run to join Mr. Henry and I run up to this scrapper and I say, few tar gunner bolt sent us to help with this problem. However, we have been quite fucked and I now need to go into your cellar and lick my wounds. Go ahead and give me. I start out really strong and then just crumple. You see flashes of fear. Because I try so hard. I don't these things and nothing worked out.

I think that I think I am, I think I am. This is a lot. This is so much. This is a lot. Um, go ahead and give me a persuasion check with advantage. Just let her go to bed. Oh, baby. Okay let her go to bed. Okay. Oh baby. Okay, 17 becomes a 16.

As soon as he hears the name, Hugh Tar, you see his eyes light up and he nods. You see he looks to the dude that's kind of holding up the trap door, nods to him and the dude goes down and leaves the flap open for you. You're able to run. Okay, and as I'm going, I want to turn around

and do thomaturgy just to distract the dragon a little more and I'm just going to instantaneously cause an unlock door or window to fly open and slam shut. Oh, sweet. So you just make another noise like across the street. There's another noise. I just take another door and slam it and then I kind of do like a baseball slide into the cellar.

Great, okay. An ajar door, the classic work of the door rich via. So here's the deal gang. Zirk is still in some trouble. That is the ghost dragon's turn. Not good gang. If Zirk I have no spells left. Shank only has one HP.

So if this thing could potentially hit Shank and destroy him, then go after Zerk. So this thing takes a swipe at Shank who's bravely trying to hold it off. But what about the door slamming? The door slam. Shank loves that distraction. That's Shank's favorite kind of distraction.

We'll go ahead and do the bite attack first crits Abs just so wallows Shankhole just shank is just gone. There's no glorious like last stand as he stays the fights He's just And they just go up and down last words where yeah I'm gonna figure out how to make shadow booze for you, buddy. You deserve it.

And then this dragon is going to, okay, you did thaw a turgy. Fiya, I will have a go ahead and roll me in our conno check against this thing's insight. Okay, I do add a D4 to my conno check. Okay. Because I am a Vidalkin. 17. 17.

Okay. This thing only got an 11 on its insight check. So, Zirk, you are, you're not just out in the open. You are like hiding between things. Fiya, you make a door, start like banging behind him. Like one that's like hanging half off its hinges. You see on the rest of this thing's turn, this thing pokes its head into that one room and you hear it roaring, Zerk, that is your turn.

All right, Zerk's just going to try and get over to the door with all of the scraper. Sweet, Zerk, you're able to get there. You get there pretty easily You just use the rest of your movements. You show up there. You see the Zerke slides along the walls and then like tiptoes across and then keep sliding along the walls You arrive You see this dude with the ram horn goes all right get the fucking basement. All right. I was gonna Yeah, I push him get in the fucking basement. All right, I was gonna, yeah, I push him. You would, I'm the fuck you dude, hold it down.

Turn this, okay, let's turn it to Hank. Fightin' the basement, fightin' the basement. All right, yeah. So you guys rush over to this little wooden door. Zirk has just gone down, Fiya you get down, Henry you get down. You see this dude with a Ram helm, slams it shut behind you.

This basement has collapsed on two sides, but seems to have stayed put under this door. There's all like rock and debris on the one side. There's rock and debris on the other side. It's very dark in here. You guys probably have to use a little can trip to keep to be able to see. Yeah, Zirk, you snap your fingers

and make a little fire can trip. It's a warm again. It's a warm again. It's another fire grub. That's awesome. Are we just in here and we hear the dragon up there? Just shaking your head. You guys hear just the faint sounds of,

it just sounds like you're waiting out an earthquake. You just hear rumbling up above. And down here, as you kind of wave your light around, you see in this small basement, you see three scrapers, the one with the Ram Helm, and then two other kind of more generic dudes whose armor looks more like chain mail, looks not as fancy.

You see the two that are wearing just like chainmail have their swords up holding it to another deep folk woman who you recognize from the sketch as Grez. She's got the look of a war priest. She's got like big tusks breastplate with a cloak over it, staff with a series of rings in it, and several rings linked to a septum piercing in her nose. And these dudes look more scared than her, even though it looks like they're kind of holding her hostage. And you see, as this dude with the ram helm slams the trap door closed, you see Grez looks up and goes, I've always saw you coming.

Three disembodied blades, but now I understand. Disembodied? And we're all mostly here. One of the guys next to her goes, shut up, stop saying weird shit! Stop saying weird shit! Let us say it, let us say it. Come on, hold on.

Please, please, can you possibly put your weapons down? Clearly, what we just thought is just an aggregate of angry ghosts Do you want to make another angry ghost this day to feed that beast up there? You see a grass just calmly goes that's right The scrapers have done this crime. They brought me here under false pretenses And now they want me to do their dirty work. I would sooner kill them than I would this dragon. Oh, interesting. And you see the dude with a ram helm goes, all right, everybody come the fuck down. Look, I points to you guys. I just saved your fucking lives.

I didn't have to let you in here, all right? That thing is a fucking problem. It's gonna kill all of us. I don't care what kind of It's mad. It's mad fucking ghosts. It's a fucking ghost now whatever happened Happened if we want to fight the shadow of your misdeeds We need to know the nature of them. It's the best ammunition we could get you see this dude kind of rips off his helm I'll pissed off And sits in the corner and just starts to like run his hands through his hair and he goes, we had a deal,

she was supposed to take care of this haunting. We didn't say what it was, I'm not even a hundred percent sure what happened. I'm not the kind of person that sits in on these big meetings or whatever, I just do what I'm told, okay? Who the fuck are you three? We were sent here by Hugh Tar. Yeah, and we were sent alongside Kragel who's still out there running around and extremely scared.

Go ahead and give me a persuasion check, Zerk. Just at 13. 13. This dude nods and goes, Gregol is tough, she'll survive. Okay, that's great. Now we're all just doing what we're told also, which is to come here, collect her, and

help you guys out. I'm not picking any sides, but we gotta find a way to survive. So why don't you tell us why this dragon is attacking you. Do any of you actually know or you involved in what happens with this dragon or is it more your people? I survey the room. Again I don't know what the fuck happened okay. I'm not in all the fucking meetings. Go ahead and give me an insight check. Insight check to see if he was CC'd on the meetings. Shout out to the two crew. My insight was a 3020. I was a nine. Hank, you get the sense that this dude is a little bit full of shit. Got it. Okay, you didn't

have to be in the meeting, but they probably told you about the meeting, right? You've been here before, haven't ya? You hear Gras speak up. Yes, he was in the meeting. Oh, what? Sorry, now I'm learning different facts. So you were in the meeting where you're not paying attention during the meeting?

You see, he scratches his face. Fucked up. Shit happens in the ruins. Okay, there's nothing we can do about it. Do you want me to tell you things that'll get you killed? Because that's what's gonna happen. The odds seem like it's happening either way, whether I know shit or not, that thing's gonna try to kill me. I might as well die with an interesting story in my head. I think, feel also feels kind of like she feels a lie forming on her tongue

and she thinks about her witch's word and wonders if maybe she could experiment with a little deceit like Miroslav the Mesmer and she just says you can tell us whatever right now all we need is information. I do not wish for any harm to come to you. I just wish for the safety of this woman and the end of all of our Travels go ahead and give me a persuasion check for you That is gonna be another net one minus one is you. Oh, okay Here is love. Why she wasn't built for it. Oh, okay. And here is the law of why. She wasn't built for it.

This dude looks like super frazzled, like he's lost kind of control of the situation, shakes his head and goes, look, we're not here to talk about our fucking feelings. We can either all work together to fight this dragon, which is what I've been telling this lady for a long time, points to Gras, or we can have it out here, and then me and my buddies can take a little rest and take another crack at the dragon tomorrow with your blood on our blades.

Can I take a look at Grez to see if she looks like she's in fighting shape? Grez, 100% has not been heard at all. You guys are essentially in a hostage situation where these dudes are already surrounded, so these dudes are just screaming kind of imp-impidently. There's three of them. I turn to Gras as well. You see these dudes all start like going for their blades, and Gras goes, there's a possibility that not all of us will make it out, but I'm sure none of them will. Whoa.

Is that the future you for Saul? Just kind of the read I'm getting on the room. Alright. I think I've heard enough from Goat Helmic guy. I summon Shank on the above us on the trap. Gerez, I need you to understand. I'm having a very bad day and there is no proof it's going to change and then I try to grapple one of the weapons You guys all launching to go into battle you see Grezz locks eyes with you and she goes I see better days in your future

And that's where we'll end our session It's not a goddamn hinders And it's not a goddamn hymn. We never got a bad word. God. Oh, thank God. That was so good. I don't have to roll another dice today. Hey, that was crazy.

I was expecting the fight to go like that. Also, like, yeah, you guys, there was a, I set this up for you guys kind of to have the scrappers on your guys side, but it just so happened that you guys rolled the one and four chance that the ghost was in the same exact section as them. Yep. Then they failed their perception checks to try to hear Craggle. So yeah, just the way it works sometimes, but ended up being a really tense episode, really fun. Yeah, it was really fun. It was really fun. It feels so good. The day's really, really good. It's really funny because I was so fucking like,

amped when we went into battle. I know. And I had so much shit planned. And truly, everything went wrong. That could have gone wrong. But then that was almost just as much fun, if that makes sense. Yeah, totally. Definitely.

Yeah, gosh, that was so tense. And now we get to fight some people in a basement, which is the point of setting some dragon. But yeah, as you guys. Right, and as you guys. You guys, everyone goes for their weapons at once. Everyone like dives in. Really exciting.

We'll talk about this all more on the short rest. I guess you can head on over to patreon.com slash nad pod. That's nadd.pod. Don't sing yet. Oh, we Real not singing to listen to our after show. Does anybody have anything they would like to plug? No, I just really like this song called Nico's red truck by an artist called Dijon I look at it the other day. It made me cry. It was really really good What's on check it out? It's great song. Oh, okay if we're all plugging songs I really like the song tech noir by gunship. What's up? Check it out. It's a great song. Okay.

It's also great working music. Really gets to amp if you want to do some work. Specifically the battle mix, all battle themes, Bravely Default 2 on YouTube.
