Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Rooster Teeth production. Compliments to all you corpse flowers! Climb on in to the Stinky Dragon and buy our latest bev, Reek What You Sow. It's a mixture of digestion, rose the dead flower petals, freshly squeezed carcass juice, topped with a sprig of reanimant. One
Starting point is 00:00:31 sip of this stiff sauce is enough to stink you to new depths. Previously, our adventurers found themselves reeling from a revival of rivalry against Brink Tussler. After battling with the Boulder Ray and Mayor, they were reunited with old friends, foes, and fauna. After debriefing with Sordo, Paralyte, and Brink,
Starting point is 00:00:50 Gum-Gum whisked away with a Woonicorn from his past, Boomba, and he was bequeathed the Wand of the Wise Ard. Mud finally reaped a bounty of Briar Orbs, and the party now finds themselves face-to-face with the Tetragogs. Nab a nightcap and nestle in for a noxious narrative. Fire orbs and the party now finds themselves face to face with the Tetra Gaugs. Nab a nightcap and nestle in for a noxious narrative.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I thought that was a vision of the Tetra Gaugs. I didn't realize that that was the Tetra Gaugs themselves. It's them. They're there. Tetra Gaugs. Wait, so Quadrant survived? Yes. Yeah, remember? You kept it there. Wait, so Quadrant survived? Yes. Yeah, remember?
Starting point is 00:01:28 You kept it ambiguous. Hey, Blaine, somehow, he's back. Somehow, Quadrant survived. Quadrant? You have to kill him four times before it sticks. If it works for Disney, it can work for us.
Starting point is 00:01:44 As you all exit the stables, Gum-Gum, you notice that with each Disney, it can work for us. As you all exit the stables, Gum-Gum, you notice that with each step... There's a squishy sound. Gum-Gum, you notice that with each step, flowers sprout from the ground beneath you. You look up and you see more floating islands like before, and in the distance, you spot that farmhouse
Starting point is 00:01:58 that they were talking about. Flowers following me. Crack! A crimson thundercloud surges out from the building. Two bloodshot eyes emerge from the haze and vapor molds into a smoky humanoid physique. He's wearing a long scarlet coat and a crooked smile comes across his face. Let me guess. You're here to stop me. Is that it? But how can you stop me if you don't even know what I'm up to?
Starting point is 00:02:28 I've seen how it ends. And trust me, it matters not if you know or don't know what's going on. So allow me to enlighten you. Entropa looks at Gum-Gum's wand. You mortals are all the same. You believe magic makes you powerful, right? Casting spells, conjuring creatures, enchanting this and that. But it's all an illusion. Without magic, you are nothing. Red mist appears across the floating islands and three figures emerge.
Starting point is 00:02:47 A four-armed automaton, a monstrous monopolous, and an elf draped in shadow. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room.
Starting point is 00:02:55 The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room.
Starting point is 00:03:03 The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. The two of them are now in the same room. Nothing. Red mist appears across the floating islands and three figures emerge. A four-armed automaton, a monstrous Monopoulos, and an elf draped in shadow. Cutting. Magic blinds us from the truth and keeps reality at arm's length. People lose their minds if they're getting a taste of magic. But that hunger quickly consumes all. And without your precious magic, you all panic. Too afraid to face even your own shadows.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And then Bart says, and prepare for trouble. Make it double. Entropa continues. But that is why we're here. To free you from this burden. Entropa holds up six diagems in his hand. And from the house you hear clang, clang, clang.
Starting point is 00:03:47 A crooked smile comes across his face. Heavy hangs the head that wears true power. And with that, Entropa dissolves into a red mist and flies back into the farmhouse. Everyone roll initiative. We're fighting Entropa? In the farmhouse? Fighting the initiative. Oh my. We're fighting Entropa in the farmhouse?
Starting point is 00:04:06 Fighting the evil guys too? Who are we fighting? Quadrant. What are we fighting for? You're fighting against destiny. Who's this destiny? We have not acquainted ourselves. Are all of these diagems placed perfectly
Starting point is 00:04:21 onto a gauntlet of some sort? No. They're on a boot. If I tap my heels. On these ruby sl- There's no place like, dang it. Nova for real, who are we fighting?
Starting point is 00:04:39 There's no place like evil. Yeah, each of the tetragogs have appeared in front of you, and that is who was speaking to you. So that's... Quadrant, Sludge, and Inku. Quadrant, Sludge, and Inku. Because Quadrant made the crappy arm's length pun thing. Hey.
Starting point is 00:04:54 And then the other one, Slop, or whatever his name is, made the one about the eating Sludge. Yeah, well, you know. Inku was talking about shadows. Yeah. All right, initiative roll. Seven. 24. 29. 24 29 whoa whoa whoa i always like uh have a sigh of relief when someone rolls a higher initiative than me because i'm like they could go first i'll wait to see what happens 14 i always let out a
Starting point is 00:05:19 grunt of excitement whenever i get the highest initiative roll. Micah's pointing out that you rolled a 29 last time as well. Oh yeah, that's right. Wait, oh yeah, we did roll initiative and I rolled a 29 then too. Okay, so off in the distance, you see the farmhouse that the red mist kind of retreated into and you're standing on, remember before you were kind of standing
Starting point is 00:05:43 on various floating islands up in the air? You're on one island. And then in front of you, there are a couple of other islands. One, two, three, four. Let's say about four or five other islands in front of you, all connected by bridges. And directly coming out from you, from your island to the north is one of those bridges. And then to the right, you see Quadrant floating on one island. And to the left, you see Sludge floating on a different island.
Starting point is 00:06:06 What about Inku? Then beyond that, to the north, that's where Inku is on yet another island. And then to the north of that is where the farmhouse is that Entropa went into. Dissipated into. Correct. Just an idea of like in terms of feet, how far apart are we from each island? From where you are, there is that path that goes to the north and then it branches left and right. So to get to the junction is maybe 15 feet and then to the right from there is 15 feet to Quadrant
Starting point is 00:06:32 and then to the left from there is 15 feet to Sludge. And that's like how long the bridge is? Correct. Okay. But that's like going out on the bridge. The distance between your island and those islands is a little more direct. So the distance between your island and the one to quadrant this may be 10 to 15 feet straight and then roughly about the same to get to the one with sludge so direct instead of going and then making
Starting point is 00:06:54 like a 90 degree turn gotcha kyborg you did roll the best on initiative and bart is behind you okay i'm glad we have all this information about spacing and I'm just gonna I got a real strategic plan And I'm just gonna I'm gonna go for quadrant. I'm gonna kill him on this first round of action I look at quadrant say quadrant. I didn't know you survived after our last encounter Let me give you a hand and then I shoot him with the hand cannon. Why are you rolling dice? Why are you rolling dice? That's rolling dice that's quadrants initiative is it two maybe okay i say let me give you a hand and then uh i use my hand cannon remind me to start rolling those in secret okay okay use your hand cannon after the wonderful pun yeah it's a it's a 46
Starting point is 00:07:38 bludgeoning damage 46 fire damage let me uh what's the range on it micah well it doesn't say we'll say it's 30 feet if you don't want to get off of your island you could walk up to the edge of the island you're on and have quadrant be within 30 feet on the other island or you could move up to the other island to get closer it is up to you i'm gonna move a safe dis wait wait how far would i need to move to get closer to quadrant to make him in range i would say you'd have to get to the edge of the island that you all are currently on. And that's like distance-wise for me, how long? I can't do half movement, right? I couldn't do like 15 there, then all my actions, then 15 back? That's not a thing, right?
Starting point is 00:08:16 Sure, why not? Okay, all right. It's about 15. Okay, well then I'll walk to 15 feet. I'll power walk it. I'm really putting my glutes into this walk. It's a very powerful walk. Your base walking speed is 35 by the way stupid sexy cyborg After giving me a whole speech about giving a man I shoot the hand cannon So roll the d20 and add your dex modifier to okay, Okay. Your dex modifier is plus five. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:47 That's a two. I'm going to add lucky. Lucky feet. You must destroy. All right. Roll it again. Show me the bullets. 19.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Is that what you're going with? Well, I mean, yeah, but if I fail it, then I can relucky it again, right? Okay, yeah, that's a hit. Okay, what are you doing? Too early for this, guys, too early. Okay, so that's... 46 bludgeoning. All right, 23 and 19.
Starting point is 00:09:19 What did you do? I rolled a 23 with the original 46, and then I rolled 1d6. But you rolled 6d6. Oh, was it supposed to be? Okay, we're going to rewind a little bit. All right. Blaine, just let me take a sip of coffee. There he is.
Starting point is 00:09:34 I was so confused. I thought you were going to roll two more for a total of eight. Then you rolled one and then five. Yeah, so just roll me 4d6 for blood, Jimmy. 46, 16 16 and 14. Not my best. So 16 bludgeoning and 14 fire. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:53 All right. Say your pun line again. Let me give you a hand. Kyborg screams that, lowers his hand cannon and fires it at Quadrant. The ball flies through Striking Quadrin in the chest. It looks like it hurts him, but he tries to kind of like take it in stride and hide it. And he looks at you and says,
Starting point is 00:10:13 You know, Kyborg, if you became a criminal, you'd finally learn what it means to be wanted. Fart goes, Thane! Guys, who's that? That's not a good one. Tell them how bad that joke was, guys. Come on. He murdered my family.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Why are you sharing it online? A good joke is a good joke, buddy. I can't help what tickles my funny bone. Say, Kyborg, isn't your family reunion coming up? Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you call it me time. Good.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Stop laughing at him, guys. Arch is like, he looks like shocked Pikachu right now. Why are you the crowd at like a open mic freestyle rap battle that's happening right now? Why are you the crowd at like a open mic freestyle rap battle that's happening right now?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Do you have anything else you want to do right now, Kyborg? Well, that was a DC 16. He needs to make a saving throw or get knocked prone. Oh, that's part of the hand cannon? Yes. Oh, okay. DC 16, what kind of save? A strength saving throw or be knocked prone. You got it. Thank you for reminding me.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Archer shouts, you sound like the name of a lesson in a math class. Nice. There you go. Yeah, he rolled a 15. Then with his modifier, he makes that strength saving throw. No, but he's so burned by my insult
Starting point is 00:11:38 that he takes a negative. Okay, so I'm going to continue on. And then I'm going to pull out the longer bow crystallina for my next two attacks and i'm gonna say forever winter and i'm gonna attack him ka-chow 24 that hits okay but i get advantage so i'm gonna take that again sorry 25 also hit all right here's the attack roll for that that's nine plus i get 46 cold damage do you have a sworn enemy oh yeah it's it's quadrant oh okay yeah you just want to make sure you didn't say it oh yeah i said forever winter yeah but you didn't say who at who yeah oh oh oh yeah i mean it'd be weird if i went for sludge wouldn't it you know he's just i'm just like i hate you but you all right that's uh 21 i cold damage got it all

I'm starting to sweat from the amount of time I'm taking up. Starting to sweat from the coffee, I think. Yeah, but everybody's enemies are here. You know, it's not just about me, you know? This is character change.
Starting point is 00:12:54 What I'm doing right now, I have a thing. It's called, I think, Piercer. You gain a bonus strength or dexterity once per turn. You can reroll the piercing damage from an attack on a critical hit. You can reroll, or you can roll one additional damage die. So I'm going to reroll that damage. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Ten. Ten. And what kind of damage is that? That's piercing. Ten piercing damage. Plus 46. Boo! Nine.
Starting point is 00:13:22 All right. So after all that, what did you do, Kaibou? I shot him with a bullet In my arm cannon And then I shot him With two arrows That were cold Burn I like
Starting point is 00:13:32 You know what I kind of like this Of reducing Everything you just did Down to like Just like two sentences Because it really Diminishes your impact
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah Just like that Yeah You took up the last Half hour of us recording Yeah But everything could be just produced Just a shot of a bullet and arrows
Starting point is 00:13:48 Cold arrows They were cold Action search Alright Taking another shot You think I'm goofing, I'm not goofing That's a 27 That hits
Starting point is 00:14:02 Plus 11 piercing And 46 cold damage. 15. Taking another shot. 29. That hits. 12 piercing. I'm just rolling through these real quick. I'm just like, ha ha! Every time I shoot off an arrow.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Mm-hmm! Ah! 13 cold damage. Got it. Alright. Alright, here's my last arrow. With many more to come. That's a critical 34. Wow, that hits. All right, thinking of this again. It's a 16, but you said you add.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Yeah, we'll say 5 plus 8, 13 plus 7. That's 20 piercing damage because of your critical hit. All right, piercer, it says on a critical hit, you can roll one additional damage die. Is that with that taken into account? No, so now roll a d8 as well oh do you want to do with the modifier from the the thing or just a regular uh no it's just a regular d8 three 46 cold damage 14 wow look at you So how much was that total? Man, that's a good question. It was over 100. It was like 150 or so.
Starting point is 00:15:09 One for each Pokemon he killed. That was quite a bit. Okay. And then I power walk back to my team and I say, high fives all around. Let's go. Orange slices, huh? Do high fives count as a bonus action? I'll let him have a couple of those.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Okay. All right. Anything else, Kyborg? No, no, no, no. Thank you. Let Bart do something. Bart, it's your turn after Bart is going to be Gum Gum. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I would like to cast Crown of Stars. Ooh. And so for that, I get a bunch of star-like motes around my head. And I get to, as a bonus action, send one of the motes streaking towards a creature or object within 120 feet of me. And then for that, I make a ranged spell attack. You make a ranged spell attack just to see if you hit them. Then after that, there's no save. Yeah. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:16:05 So I'm going to cast Crown of Stars. So I have, I think, seven motes around my head. So I'm going to use one of them to send to Inku. Ooh, okay. You have seven star-like motes around your head and you fire one off at Inku, who I'm pretty sure is in ranged. Double check. Oh, 120 feet.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah, easily. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So that's a 21 that I did for attack. Okay. Speaking of Pokemon, Bart learned Swift. Okay, so that's a 21 that I did for attack. Okay. Speaking of Pokemon, Bart learned Swift. Oh, is that a Pokemon thing?
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, it's just when they animated it eventually, it was just stars flying at the other Pokemon. Oh. Always goes first. That's a niche reference to our streams. Well, it does always go first. Yeah, it does. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I thought it never misses. Quick attack. Ah, shoot. No, you made the joke correct, Blaine. Chris doesn't know Pokemon. Oh, what am I thinking of? You're thinking of quick attack. Got him.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Take that, Gum-Gum. All right, so your Crown of Stars flies out, hitting AC 21, which is a hit. And it impacts Inku doing... 4d12 of damage. Cool. All 12s, all 12s. 12.
Starting point is 00:17:13 12. Oh, God, 23. There was a one in there. I got a 1, 5, 6, and 11. All right, we'll take it. So 23 total. Yeah, the Crown of Stars, that little, you know, bright mote flashes streaking towards Inku and hits her.
Starting point is 00:17:28 But as you see it hit her, it's like reality itself warps. You see like shadow form around the mote and you see Inku almost like fade out of existence and then reappear into existence. And she just smiles at you, Bart. So did it not hit her? She says, Quarterling? More like quarter Pounder.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Boo! How much time did you spend before this recording coming up with quips? Ask Micah. Did it hit her? It doesn't look like it. Oh no. What the hell? It looks like
Starting point is 00:18:02 it was absorbed into shadow and then she just like reappeared almost in the exact same spot. What's the type of damage? It was radiant damage. Oh, it might not be good against the shadow. Hmm. All right. Well, since casting it was one action,
Starting point is 00:18:16 sending the star was a bonus action, I think that's all I got. You can move. You can move. I don't think I need to. Do you want a hug? Yeah. That quarter pounder joke really hit hard, buddy. I know't think I need to. Do you want a hug? Yeah. That quarter pounder joke
Starting point is 00:18:25 really hit hard, buddy. I know, I know. Leave the fighting to the grown-ups, honey. This is no place for children. It's a short joke. It's a short joke. Hey, hey, you cut that out on that island over there. Don't make me come over to your
Starting point is 00:18:42 island. Mark gives the look of, I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Even Sludge and Quadrant are like, no man, come on, come on. They're not good people. Gum, gum, you're up. After gum, gum is going to be Paralite and then Mud.
Starting point is 00:19:00 So before he goes, sorry to interrupt, the stuff that Kyberg was doing on Quadrant was working. Yes. It seems like it, yes. But he's closer to us. He's like 15 feet away. From island to island, yeah. Quadrant is a little bit closer, yeah. Okay. Yeah, because you said Inku is like back on the next. A little further, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Inku is maybe another 20 feet further than Quadrant is, but of course they're off to different sides. Could I move towards the intersection of those islands where they branch off, kind of where I'm in the center of it? Yeah, so like the bridge goes up to the north and then it splits off in two opposite directions.
Starting point is 00:19:33 So you want to go up to that intersection? Yeah. Before I do that real fast, Barbara, roll perception. Okay. For Bart. That's a 20. You think that Inku had some kind of magic prepared
Starting point is 00:19:44 that shielded her in that moment? Yeah. Inku, more like Inku. Like E-W-W-W. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it. Make sure to spell it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:59 All right. Stinky. Stinku. Ha! Okay, sorry about that, Chris. I just wanted to add a little bit of clarity to that so gum gum wants to go up to the intersection of the bridges like between the two islands or between the three islands i guess yeah and then i guess uh pull out the wand of the wise make me also a perception check gum gum 18 youum. Ooh, 18. You know, Gum-Gum bravely steps forward to go and take care of all of the enemies facing his friends.
Starting point is 00:20:30 But right before, as he's about to step on the bridge, you notice something. Maybe it's like your barbarian training. You notice that the bridge is actually very rickety. And it seems like it's a trap. You feel like if you were to step on that bridge, that it would fall apart and you would fall. How far is the bridge?
Starting point is 00:20:47 Like, how long is the bridge? Going out to the intersection, maybe 10 feet. It's not too far. Okay. Well, I'll still pull up the wand of the Wysard. It makes that noise. And I'll turn to Quadrant and say, Now, who's Wizard?
Starting point is 00:21:03 And then shoot. That was what I wanted. Now who's the wizard? He got you with that one. And then the way this works is I roll a D100 and depending upon how that goes. So you're going to pull out the wand of the wise
Starting point is 00:21:19 heart, which sings and makes a noise that sounds like... Oh, it sings? No, your party members made a sound before. You pull it out noise that sounds like... Oh, it sings? No, your party members made a sound before. You pull it out and it sounds like... Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:31 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:31 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:31 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:32 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:32 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:32 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:21:33 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!! Oh! I'm a good music! I'm a good music! I'm a good music! I'm a good music! I'm a good music! I'm a good music! I'm a good music! I'm a good music! I'm a good music!, three. Beautiful music. And then I turn invisible. Have fun auto-tuning that, Micah. Gum-Gum points the wand at
Starting point is 00:21:57 Quadrant and he vanishes out of sight. Gum-Gum is now invisible. On purpose? I mean, whoa. He vanishes out of sight. Gum-Gum is now invisible. On purpose? I mean, no. And then I guess I'm going to rage. That doesn't take me out of invisibility. I don't think Chris was prepared to be invisible.
Starting point is 00:22:19 No, invisibility just basically gives you advantage on stealth checks and enemies disadvantage on seeing you. The best part of this, though, is that Gum-Gum probably doesn't see that he's turned invisible. So Gum-Gum sees nothing happened. Ryan, it didn't work. Stupid, why are these hands? Gum-Gum, I can't see you. If you're still here, say our secret code word.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Code word. That's it. He remembered. That's a five, which is forceful rebuke. Whenever a creature hits you with an attack roll before it rage ends, that creature takes 26 force damage as magic lashes out in retribution. So I go invisible and then presumably nothing else happens. Not that we could see.
Starting point is 00:23:05 We're just trying to clarify that, believe it or not, this is a weird scenario where a barbarian goes invisible and then rages. You just hear loud foot stomps. Grunting. So I think that the way it's worded is you would remain invisible, but once you attack, invisibility goes away. Yeah, I can't attack anyway because it used my action on my to turn invisible. So I guess I'm good where I am.
Starting point is 00:23:33 So it specifically says in the barbarian section, you can't cast or concentrate on spells while raging. And invisibility is a concentration spell. So if you rage, your invisibility goes away. Okay. Just I guess you get your invisibility goes away. Okay. Just, I guess you get so angry you can't maintain it. But Chris, what if it would be cool if you just like were normal Gum-Gum
Starting point is 00:23:51 disappeared and then you reappeared and you were like super Saiyan Gum-Gum. You're like... It's a cool reveal. Yeah. I mean, I feel like that's what Gum-Gum would do though. I think he would rage.
Starting point is 00:24:02 So I guess I turn non-invisible again. Yeah. Okay. So is there anything else Gum Gum can do? I don't think so. That was my action and my bonus action. But you still stay on the starting island, correct? Yeah. I'm just going to stand there.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Okay. So Gum Gum ran up, pointed his wand at Quadrant, turned invisible, then reappeared. Yes. Okay. All right. That's it for Gum-Gum. It's Paralite's turn. After Paralite is Mud and then Quadrant.
Starting point is 00:24:35 All right. Paralite's with us. And she's on our side. Wait, wait. I kind of take a step back from Paralite, like watching how this is going to go. She looks at you, Kyborg, and pats you on the back and says, Don't worry. I'll help you out. And she raises
Starting point is 00:24:50 her hood on her cloak and she looks like you, Kyborg. She turns into another version of you and she takes a running leap and jumps from the island you all are on onto the island where Quadrant is. Whoa, what a woman. I mean, Kyborg?
Starting point is 00:25:09 Mud, it's your turn. Oh, is that all she does? That's all you can tell so far. She's beautiful. I got so many options of things I want to do. I don't know exactly how to pick. Well, it'll be tough to one-up what I did. I can't turn invisible and come back.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I can't do that. Tell you what, Barbara, pick a number between one and three. One. Okay. That's fine. That's good. I mean, three. No, no, that's good.
Starting point is 00:25:42 We don't know what any of the numbers were, John. You can do whatever you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. No, no, no. That's good. We don't know what any of the numbers were, John. You can do whatever you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. No, no, no. I'm going to do something I wanted to do with this spell for a long time since I've gotten it. And now that I am the level of druid I am, it's going to get even more stupid.
Starting point is 00:25:57 So Gus. I'm Gus. How would we calculate the damage that a cow would do falling from 60 feet on top of somebody? Magic. What? So the cow itself would take 6d6 falling damage as it falls, but it's falling onto someone. It would be bludgeoning damage. I would say you would do 1d10 bludgeoning damage per 10 feet it falls.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Okay. So if it falls 60 feet, we would do 6d10 bludgeoning damage. I'm just ballparking this here. Cool. So what if I dropped 24 of them? Oh, he has nuclear bomb on Inku. Let's do Inku. Okay, so the problem becomes,
Starting point is 00:26:48 how do you get 24 cows to fall on one person? Like you can cover an area with 24 cows. Like, can you conjure them one at a time so that they fall in a line, like a column of cows straight down? I like that idea. Guys, check our TikTok. We're going to make this happen in real life.
Starting point is 00:27:01 down. I like that idea. Guys, check our TikTok. We're going to make this happen in real life. Imagine the cows are all conjured in the same spot, 60 feet above the character, but they're all conjured just a half second after each other. John, if I may,
Starting point is 00:27:17 can we make them have a little bit of agency so that they're not just like meat falling on this person like they're all little wrestlers? We can call them moochadors. Yeah, a bunch of moochadors. Yeah, we can do this. I'm going to say whoever you drop it on would also get a dexterity save
Starting point is 00:27:35 to see if they would be able to take half damage for each. Okay, yeah, let's do that. So to clarify what I'm doing, I'm casting Conjure Animals, Okay, yeah, let's do that. So to clarify what I'm doing, I'm casting Conjure Animals, which allows me to conjure eight beasts of one quarter challenge rating. At level seven, I can conjure that three times as many.
Starting point is 00:27:59 So eight times three is 24. Cows are a quarter challenge rating, and they're falling on Inku. Where'd you get a chalkboard? How high up are they? They can go 60 feet above her. Actually, specifically, how far is Inku from me? About 80 feet, more or less. Oh, she's far.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Yeah. Okay, how far is a quadrant? About 60 feet. Okay, could I jump across the bridge? Yeah, and you can also jump directly island to island if you want. That is more direct to each island if you wanted to. Okay, with that in mind, since you've got the map, how far can I get close to Quadrant?
Starting point is 00:28:35 To Quadrant, from where you are? What's your move? Is your move 30? I really want you to take him out. 30, yeah. So that Blaine can't. Hey, I'm down. We got a lot of guys to get through. This is like the final stage of Super Smash Brothers.
Starting point is 00:28:48 We're all just floating on these little floating islands. How big are these islands? They're all varying sizes. It's hard to say. There's no consistency. It's like chunks, you know? If you walk up to the edge like Kyborg did on his turn, if you walk up to the edge of the island you're on,
Starting point is 00:29:03 you would get quadrant within 30 feet or so. Okay. Then what's the math? if I can cast 60 feet away from me, if I cast 60 feet away from me at an angle above So, C squared equals A squared plus B squared. So, it's 60 squared.
Starting point is 00:29:16 60 squared minus 30 squared. Carry the two. Equals my brain. And And then square root of that. And then the square root of that would be what? 3600. I think you gotta throw pi in there. I think you need some pi. So 2500. What's the square root?
Starting point is 00:29:36 What's the square root of 2500? But if you take the diameter across though, when you're counting for the trajectory. 50. Okay, so I can cast them 50 feet above. So that's 5d10 per cow. Yes. With a deck save on each.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Per cow. Yes. And we're doing a little bit of improvising here. Ben sent me some, like, back of the napkin DM math for dealing with siege weapons and catapults. So we're kind of improvising between that and cows to come up with these figures. Obviously, there's nothing in any book telling you how to calculate this,
Starting point is 00:30:10 so we're just kind of rolling with it. Gus, please, Moochadors. All right, we have to do this 24 times. Yeah, just speedrun it. All right. Oh, yeah, this is going to take a little while. Okay, and you're doing this on Quadrant. What is Quadrant's dex save?
Starting point is 00:30:24 Hey, Quadrant, got milk? What save does he need to make on this? Save DC 18. Okay. Spell save DC 18. Quadrant's dex is plus seven. So he needs 11 or better to save. For half damage.
Starting point is 00:30:42 For half damage. Okay. Oh my God, he's dying. There's no way. I'm going to keep rolling. For half damage. Okay. Oh my God, he's dying. There's no way. I'm going to keep rolling 5d10s. Okay. Yeah, you roll yours first and we'll figure it out. Chabord just found a folding chair and he's just kind of propping up on it and enjoying the show.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Arch's just stewing over the fact that he didn't hit Enku with his star. We'll get her. We'll get her, Mark. And then she said some really mean things. Thank you. How many have I done so far? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:09 We're a quarter of the way there. Quarterling. A third of the way there. A third of the way there. These rolls are all looking great. That one could have been better. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, great one.
Starting point is 00:31:17 I'm not even looking at the numbers, so your commentary is all I'm going off of. Oh, not the best on that one. I'm trying to just click as fast as I can. You made it up on that one though. That's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah, we like that one. Another good one. What are we at now? That's not a good one. Stop for a second.
Starting point is 00:31:35 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Six more. Six more. All right. Thank you. 1, 2, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Six more. Six more. All right. Thank you. One. Good. Two.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Good. Three. Pretty good. Four. Very good. Five. Yeah. Six.
Starting point is 00:31:54 All right. Okay. There's all my rolls. Oh, that's a lot of rolls. 29, 31, 27, 21, 24, 19, 31, 26, 28, 26, 15, 28, 32, 14, 24, 32, 26, 25, 12, 31, 32, 25, 37, 30, 22. That's just for all of you at home. If you're keeping score, I'll give you the numbers. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:13 So I got to make my saves here. The first one I rolled right when you started, I rolled a 13. So that's successful. That's a 20. I'm going to keep math for you. So you do your things and I'm going to math this for you. Thank you. So you do your things and I'm going to math this for you. Thank you. I'm just imagining all four of the infinites plus Paralyte plus the three big bads were all gathered around and were like negotiating at the table. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Keep rolling, Gus. Tell me fail or save. First two are save. Third is fail. Okay. Fail. Okay. Sorry, I'm doing this one at a time to keep it easy.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Save. Yeah. Save. Yeah. Fail. Yay. That's a good one to fail easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Save. Yeah. Save. Yeah. Ah, boo. Fail. Yay.
Starting point is 00:32:48 That's a good one to fail on. That's a good one. That's good. Save. Ah, boo. Is it a boo or a moo? Fail. That's a good one to fail on.
Starting point is 00:32:57 That was a good one to fail on. Save. Okay. Barely. Fail. Okay. Barely. That's a good one for you to fail on if you have to have a fail.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Save. Okay. Barbara's doing her taxes right now. Fail. I fail on, if you have to have a fail. Save. Okay. Barbara's doing her taxes right now. Fail. I mean, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Save. Okay. I just want to hear Gus's, like, interpretation of this.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Okay. Is this going to be, like, sped up? It'll be like... Fail. Oh, that's a bad one to fail, Gus. Fail. Three fails in a row. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Save. Save. Oh, that's a bad one to fail guys fail three fails in a row. Yeah Fail Yeah, that's five more That's a safe, okay, I'm showing three more after this one, okay save save Give us a fail. Fail. Ooh! Sorry, Quadrant. Hold on. I got numbers. I'm just gonna put them into Google and count it all up. I do love looking at our game log right now. It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Gus Master DM. It looks like you guys had your respective animals jump on your keyboards and just start clicking around. It really does. Is this what happened because I picked a one? It would be oddly thematic if that's what happened. It really does. Is this what happened because I picked a one? It would be oddly thematic if that's what happened. 485 points
Starting point is 00:34:10 of damage. Oh my god! Even accounting for the saves and everything? Yeah. How much? 485. That's a new world record. What? I'm sure someone will find our math was wrong at some place, but it was wrong at worst by like only like, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:26 I don't know, 15 points somewhere along the lines. So yeah, 485 points. Is Quadrant alive? I think Sludge is also dead somehow. I feel bad for, what's her name, who jumped over there to try and help and then got it out. Yeah, like... Paralite?
Starting point is 00:34:41 Yeah, Paralite got like, I don't know, shrapnel cow. At least one cow had to do it. Because you know they were exploding. It's funny because my watch just gave me an alert I rarely see where it said snow starting soon. Do you think Quadrant's Apple Watch went off and it said 90% chance of cows? He's like, well, that doesn't make any sense. I will say that... I haven't seen a cloud.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Kyborg did convert to Hinduism after this. He now worships cows. So how do you feel about murdering 24 cows, Mud? They're faes. They were conjured for this existence, and then they evaporate. Just like any other conjure animal I have done. This is my life. Yeah, this is my life.
Starting point is 00:35:21 They're essentially, you know what they are? They're the whale from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Oh, right, yeah. I got it. Okay. I still think they're moochadors. Yeah. Quadrant, you know, is looking at you and looks up,
Starting point is 00:35:35 and, you know, it doesn't make any sense to him. Yeah, but the sky gets dark, and a flurry of cows fall all around him. He does his best to dodge them and does pretty decently, but just, I guess, you know, there's so many cows, it becomes difficult terrain and very difficult to move. To move? He just pummels relentlessly with cows.
Starting point is 00:35:57 24, to be exact. Who ordered the hamburgers? Medium rare. Much to your surprise, a frail hand reaches out from under all the cows and starts pulling itself out. Quadrant looks very beat up and very bloodied and he's struggling to claw and pull himself out.
Starting point is 00:36:17 And you see Paralite, who's disguised as Kyborg over there as well. And she yells at you, Mud. Quick, Mud, use the briar orb to capture Quadrant. Wait, real quick. Gum-Gum looks at his wand and looks up at Quadrant and goes, Oh, my goodness. Okay, yeah, I'm going to use my briar orb because it's a bonus action.
Starting point is 00:36:37 I'm going to throw the orb at Quadrant. I throw it at Kaiborg accidentally. At Quadrant, I throw it at Kyborg accidentally. Blah, blah, blah. Hot potato, huh? And if the creature is weak, it may easily become trapped inside the orb. I imagine 24 cows dropping on you makes you weak.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yes, Quadrant is very weak. Plus six arrows. It's a Pokeball. Yeah, so you throw it. Your aim is true. It's not the case, but it almost seems as if it's guided supernaturally, almost like a magnet. It's attracted Pokeball. Yeah, so you throw it. Your aim is true. It's not the case, but it almost seems as if it's guided supernaturally, almost like a magnet. It's attracted to Quadrant.
Starting point is 00:37:10 It impacts him, and Quadrant lets out an otherworldly scream as he is almost like pulled into the orb. You see his very existence get stretched out into a super long form, and then it just zaps right into the briar. Kyborg's cackling. Any of the cows go with him? No, no, strangely not. Hey guys, I got
Starting point is 00:37:30 him a champ. Paralite says Well played, Mud. And she jumps from the island that she's currently on and moves over to get into Inku's threatened space. Felicitations, my foul-smelling friends. It's me, the backup bartender.

Starting point is 00:40:25 you want to move back to your starting position or do you want to move so you're closer to the You moved? I moved. Moved. Do you want to move back to your starting position, or do you want to move so you're closer to the island with Inku? Because currently you're still closest to the island where Quadrant was. Yeah, I would like to, if there's movement for me to get closer to whoever's closest to me, Inku or Sludge. It would be Inku because then Sludge is further to the north beyond the island that Inku's on. Move mud as close to Inku as possible.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Power walk. We'll say you walk back across the island you're currently on so you're at the edge of the island facing closest to the island where Inku is. There's like a 10 to 15 foot gap between the islands. Love it. Don't go across the bridge. Okay. A belated
Starting point is 00:41:03 alert there from Gum Gum. All right. So it is Inku's turn. Finally, my turn. Do they not take any like psychological damage from witnessing that horrible attack? These are bad people. They've done horrible things. They're used to horrible things.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Okay. Okay. All right. So Inku's turn. Bart tried to use a crown of stars against her. She doesn't like that. But it didn't work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:27 It's like it never happened. You made her do something. She had to expend a reaction against that. That's so annoying. Peace. That could have come from anywhere, like the sky. There's like a bunch of stars up there. Maybe one just got a little lost in the mix.
Starting point is 00:41:45 You know, you're on these floating islands, so everything's kind of shifting. It's an unusual environment for everyone involved, just because you've never experienced anything like this in your life. And Inku fixes her eyes on you, Bart. Hello. And you see that Inku's eyes glaze over and become black. Is she casting Eye Bite?
Starting point is 00:42:06 There's no whites to her eyes. And you need to make a wisdom saving throw. Am I being frightened? You don't know yet. I can tell all those eyes. Well, I have advantage against being frightened, which is why I'm asking. Oh, you have advantage against frightened? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Yes. Okay. And you said wisdom saving throw? Yes. Okay. So that's a nine. And then a nat 20 for 23. Yeah, baby.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Bark, bark, bark, bark. It's a terrifying sight to see her eyes turn black. And you are correct. It was eye bite that Inku was casting. She does not like that. That once again, you're stopping her. You're not letting her accomplish her goals. You can play at this game.
Starting point is 00:42:45 In the shadow and in the darkness, she almost like disappears. You're not letting her accomplish her goals. You can play at this game. In the shadow and in the darkness, she almost like disappears. You lose sight of her for a second. And then the next thing you know, she's right behind you. Bart. And she takes a swing at you. She pulls out like a really long scythe from under her cloak and takes a swing at you, Bart. All right. Hitting AC 23.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Well, yeah. All right. Hitting AC 23. Well, yeah. That hits. Doing 45 points of slashing damage. You poopy head. Poopy head. 45? 45. Yeah, slashing.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You knocked the cleverness out of him. And on top of that, you also take an additional 43 necrotic damage. Woo-hoo! Uh, okay. And then Inku asks, How are those doddering daddies of yours, Bart? Have they kicked a bucket yet?
Starting point is 00:43:35 Because that could be arranged. Guys, I'm not looking so good. I think we can see that. Bart's got some ouchies on him. And that is it for Inku. Take her out. Take her out. Take her out, boys. I think we got Sludge up next. Now. Yeah, it's Sludge's turn, but he's kind
Starting point is 00:43:52 of far. I don't know if he can do anything to you guys yet. My movement speed is too low. Yeah, Sludge can't really do anything to you guys because you're too far. So he's going to move to get closer. He moves off of the island that's further to the north and he moves down to the island where Ingku was previously.
Starting point is 00:44:16 So he closes the distance to you guys. Oh, I thought he was closer than that. 4D chess. How close is he to us? From where the party started, it's 80 feet. Gum Gum, you moved a little bit, but not too much. It's roughly 80. 70 to 80 feet for you, GumGum. Kyborg, it's your turn. Okay, how far
Starting point is 00:44:31 away am I from Inku now? Inku's close, like maybe 10 feet away. Is that... Okay, that doesn't do disadvantage for range, does it? No. Okay. And make me a perception check, Kyborg. Okay. 23. What do I perceive with my elven eyes?
Starting point is 00:44:51 You notice that there's a strange, almost like a shadowy mirror that has accompanied Inku back to your island. Almost like you're seeing a hidden version of yourself behind Inku. A hidden version. Oh. Oh. I give it a win. How many Kyborgs are on the map right now? Which one do we shoot?
Starting point is 00:45:04 Take the shot. There's only two. Is that not? Yeah, that's a Paralite. You think so. You're not sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I give him a wink.
Starting point is 00:45:14 All right. And then I give her a wink. Well, I mean, it says presenting male as cyborg, but I don't know. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. I point my longer bow of crystallina after Bart has been attacked by this Shadrow creature, and I say, forever winter! And they are now my mortal enemy, and I take a shot.
Starting point is 00:45:33 That's 22, and that's 22. She might still have her magic on her. We'll have magic arrows, Bard. 22 is a hit. Okay. That's 15. That's 46 cold. While this is happening, Bart's just lying on the ground doing, like, pointing at both of his eyes and back at Inku.
Starting point is 00:45:57 11 cold. All right. Yeah, your arrow strikes her. She seems to brush it off, but you know that it's all a front. Okay. And then I want to do an arcane shot let's call it the grasping arrow a creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 poison damage its speed is reduced to 10 feet and it takes 2d6 slashing damage for the first time on each turn
Starting point is 00:46:20 it tries to move one feet or more the brambles last for one minute aren't so use the option again. Okay. So I'm going to take the shot. Take the shot, GuyBug. All right, that was a two. And then we're going to reroll that because I have advantage. That's a 25.
Starting point is 00:46:33 That hits. All right, there's my piercing. Boom, nine. Here's my cold. Eat my icy thorns. Seven. Plus I do the 2d6 poison damage. 3.
Starting point is 00:46:48 It's something. Every little bit counts. It's no cow, but you know. Don't have a cow, man. And then I roll once more for my final attack. That's a 23. Piercing. 14. plus 46, cold damage, 15.
Starting point is 00:47:11 I just look like that Jack Nicholson gif right now. Yes. Smiling and nodding. And then when I shoot the ice arrow, I say, chill out. And then that's my move. When your last arrow impacts Inku, Paralite reappears behind Inku as Kyborg and unleashes a flurry of unarmed strikes into Inku's back, taking advantage of her being distracted by your attacks.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Oh, yeah, cheap shots. Cool. That's the way she rolls. She's got to be safe. Yeah. Paralite says, Good timing. Thanks for the opening.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Of course, my lady. And then I turn around and go, Stupid, stupid. Why'd you say that? Paralite. Paralite. Bar, you're up. Then gum, gum.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Man, okay. Am I the only one that's been damaged so far? Yes. I believe so. My pride was damaged earlier on when you guys were all laughing at me. Those cows took some damage when they fell. Yeah, they damaged. So from what we could tell, whatever magic Enka used to subvert my attack, is that still active?
Starting point is 00:48:13 You think it was like a one time thing that she had prepared? Okay. More stars, more stars. Yeah, she ate those arrows pretty good. Oh, they're coming. Well, first I'm going to cast Breath of the Quarterling. Nice. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:48:28 That I've never done before. I am able to use that, right? I don't need that die gem to cast that. Oh. Yeah, yeah. It's a quarterling feature, not a die gem feature. Cool. And I'm going to focus it on Stinku.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Oh, that hurts. So she has to make a dexterity save Of 17 She fails that Yes okay and now I have to choose between Acid cold fire force Healing lightning poison or thunder I think I'm going to do acid Don't say that on camera
Starting point is 00:49:00 Oh I'm going to do acid damage. And that's going to be 12d6. 12d6 acid damage in a 15 foot cone in front of you right at Inku. 38 points of damage. Nice.
Starting point is 00:49:17 She's not immune to acid. Okay. I really took a chance there. I'm going to do one more thing here. Paralite's'm going to do one more thing here. Paralite's also going to need to make a save. Oh, is she close? She was all in that melee range of the cone. She makes that dexterity save, though.
Starting point is 00:49:34 She rolls a 16. And then with her bonus, she easily makes it. Wow, good. She wouldn't want to get ass on her fate. Oh, wait. Paralite does shoot you a nasty glance, Bart. Hey, watch where you spew that stuff.
Starting point is 00:49:50 What did you think would happen? And then as a bonus action, I would like to shoot another star from my crown of stars at her as well. Oh, right. Yeah. Are you going to send a lone star at Inku?
Starting point is 00:50:04 No, I'm going to send a Dos Equis. So stupid. So stupid. We're losing you, right. Yeah. Are you going to send a lone star at Inku? No, I'm going to send a Dos Equis. So stupid. So stupid. We're losing you, Barbara. Your connection's getting real fuzzy. So I think I have to make another range attack. Correct. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Ugh, 14. That does not hit. It does not. Twinkle, twinkle, little bard. So I guess in game, what happens is your star shoots out, but it shoots past her and misses. Does it hit sludge accidentally? No, no.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Okay, so that's two out of seven. So I still have five stars left. Yeah, and when you have three or more, I think it illuminates the area, right? Like it lets a light out. If you have four or more motes remaining, they shed bright light in the 30 foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet if you have one to three
Starting point is 00:50:50 motes remaining they shed dim light in a 30 foot radius so you have some bright light going on yeah well i have five left okay okay so i guess i'll move now that's like the only other thing i could do you will open yourself up for an attack of opportunity because you were right next to Inka. Remember, she was attacking you. Yeah. Does the brambles from my arrow not have any effect on that, though? Do they stop that? I think they just make it difficult terrain.
Starting point is 00:51:16 She's already standing right next to her. She has to move to get there. I know I did a bonus action, but could I do Unbreakable Majesty? Is that a bonus action? Yeah, but I could move. Well, you only get one bonus action, but yeah. The movement is what causes the attack of opportunity, so staying still doesn't cause that.
Starting point is 00:51:31 All right. Well, she's going to attack me anyways, so I'm just going to stay put. Best to see if we can help. Yeah. Gum-Gum, you're up. Then after Gum-Gum is paralyzed, then Mud. How's she looking?
Starting point is 00:51:43 She's pretty beat up. She has taken quite a beating so far okay well gum gum's gonna run and recklessly attack her so it's you and paralyzed are just taking shots just it's a 19 uh that hits okay that's 20 damage and that's like slashing damage from the axe? Yeah. And then I'm gonna attack again unless she like dies. No, no. 29. That hits. 18. Okay. That's
Starting point is 00:52:13 18 points of slashing damage from your axe? Mm-hmm. And then I'm trying to think of anything else I can do with my bonus action, but I guess that is it. That is it. Okay. I need that in character. That does it. I guess that is it. That is it, okay. I need that in character. That does it. I guess I can't give my friendship bracelet to Bart.
Starting point is 00:52:29 That casts an action to cast it. Yeah, that's an action, yeah. Inku is significantly weakened, but at the end of your turn, Gum-Gum, she closes her eyes for a moment and begins chanting in an otherworldly language. All four of you need to make a constitution saving throw. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Dang it. Where's my diet at, Jim? Didn't need it. 24. Nine. You said constitution saving? Yes. 12.
Starting point is 00:52:55 That was really bad for Gum Gum. 20. You lucked out, Bart. Tell me about it. You all feel like a rotting inside your bodies emanating. Like you feel just like really bad and sick. And you feel like this nausea overtake you. And Mud and Gum Gum, you failed the save.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Kyborg and Bart, you made it. If you fail the save, you're going to take full damage of this. If you made it, you've taken half. And what kind of damage is this exactly? Necrotic. Dang it. Is yours a poison? Yeah, it's a poison. And what kind of damage is this exactly? Necrotic. Dang it. Is yours not poison? It is a poison.
Starting point is 00:53:28 42 points of damage if you failed. 21 points of damage if you succeed. Good lord. I'm down. Incapacitated. You couldn't carry a tune in a bag of holding. Bart. He does have a list of these things.
Starting point is 00:53:43 You know, I recognize I'm not the most musically skilled Bart, and that's kind of my whole thing, alright? But you know, it's a low blow, lady. And then Gum Gum barfs on her. Yeah! How much damage is that? She's immune to
Starting point is 00:54:00 barf. And Bart. Oh, hey. It's only one letter off. It's Paralite's turn. Oh, wait, wait. I want to use as my reaction, I want to use my rage thing. To reroll rage? Yeah. Okay. Let's see what happens. That's a one. Necrotic
Starting point is 00:54:16 burst. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 33 of you must succeed on a constitution saving throw or take 1d12 necrotic damage. And I gain temporary hit points, 1d12, plus my barbarian level. So, ha, back at you. But every creature takes it has to make a save, right? No, no, out of my choice, of my choice.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Oh, of your choice? Oh, okay. Oh, thank God. Thank you, Diah. So I do think you do throw up on her as well. Yeah. But then she also gets sick and then starts throwing up. What kind of save did I need to make and what was it? A constitution saving throw. I rolled a 13. What did I need to make and what was it? A constitution saving throw.
Starting point is 00:54:45 I rolled a 13. What did I need to roll? That's probably a fail, right? The spell save DC is 8 plus your proficiency bonus plus your constitution modifier. So in this case it would be 18, so she fails it. Okay, that's 10 damage to Inkyu. And then I'll roll for my bonus HP
Starting point is 00:55:01 3 plus my barbarian level which is 14, right? Is that temp HP? Yeah, for me. All right. Yeah, your wild magic goes off and you target her and gain a little bit of HP. It's Paralite's turn. Then after Paralite is mud, Paralite drops her disguise.
Starting point is 00:55:19 And she looks like Paralite once again. She no longer looks like Kyborg. And she pulls out a dart in her hand, and she flings it at Bart, and it hits Bart. Oh! I'm already dead. I'm, okay. It's a healing dart.
Starting point is 00:55:32 I knew we could trust you, Paralite, you son of a gun. It heals you for 18 points of healing. Oh, wow. So what happens, because I'm in the death saves right now. You're now out. Yeah, you're out of that. You death saves right now. You're now out. Yeah, you're out of that. You have 18 hit points. You're back conscious.
Starting point is 00:55:48 You're back, baby. I take it back, Paralite. I'm sorry. Paralite. She throws that dart and it hits you and heals you apart. And then she says to Mud. Use the Briar Orb on Inku, Mud. She's been weakened.
Starting point is 00:56:01 All right. And then it's Mud's turn. Mud goes to turn his ball cap that is not on his head backwards. He just pulls his hair. Yeah, just pulls his hair backwards and then throws the briar orb at Inku. Thank you. Inku's much closer than Quadrant was earlier, so it's a much easier toss. You kind of like underhand lob it over at Inku.
Starting point is 00:56:22 No, I throw it full force at her as far as possible. Hits her in the nose, breaks her nose. Yes. I don't care if I'm standing on top of her, I am full swinging this thing. Just mud full stands at Briar Orb, right at Inku, and hits her in the head. Seems to like stick to her and absorb
Starting point is 00:56:40 all of her corporeal being into it, and she screams as she's banished to a demiplane. Yeah. All right. I got a dark type Pokemon now. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. All right.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Is there anything else you could do, Mud? That's my bonus action, so I can do my action and movement. Yes. Sludge? Yeah. How far is Sludge from me? From where you are.
Starting point is 00:57:01 You are at the edge of that other island, so you're a little closer than the rest of the party. I'll say he's about 60 feet away. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to move all the way as close to 30 feet towards Sludge. At this point, you'll have to like jump across the island because you are at the edge of your island and he's on another one. All right. How do I calculate a jump?
Starting point is 00:57:21 You can make an athletics check if you want to see how far you can get across there. If you're doing a long jump, you can cover a number of feet up your strength score if you take a running start. So, yeah, just make an athletics check to see if you make it across. That's five. Woo! You're on the three plus two. Yeah. Turn into a bird.
Starting point is 00:57:48 No, it's fine. Honestly, I was going to take an action and then move and i'm fine with the movement i just did my action's not going to change anything with my attack to sludge so can i resolve my action and then have resolved me falling i feel like i have to resolve the fall first because it's like you try to jump across between the two islands but then you fall between them. There's nothing there. Right. I was trying to determine where I could move, and I was going to take, I'm just saying, I was going to take an action, and then I was going to move.
Starting point is 00:58:14 I see, I see. The action is this. Can I just shove the Epipple of Superior Healing into Bart's mouth and give him that and then fall to my doom. Okay. Yeah. And so that's all that is, is Bart. What?
Starting point is 00:58:30 Gotcha. 8d4 plus 8 healing is what you get. Nice. Do you do that or do I? You go ahead and roll it. You said 8d4? 8d4 plus 8. 8d4 plus 8.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Get some good rolls. 8d4. Come on, Bart. Is that your action, though? That's my action. My bonus action rolls. Come on, Bart. Is that your action, though? That's my action. My bonus action was throwing the briar orb. My action is giving the apple to Bart. My movement is falling down into nothingness for forever.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Bye, Mud. I think the dice got messed up. Why do you say that? Well, they didn't show up on my screen, and they were on my screen twitching like they didn't land properly. Just like Mudd. But it showed up as an 18. Plus 8.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Plus 8, so 26. 26 more HP for Bart. Oh, no. You're wrong. Three ones. It's okay. Now I fall. What happens?
Starting point is 00:59:18 Yeah, Mudd heroically gives an apple to Bart and tries to make one of those cool jumps from one island to the other like a superhero, but he stumbles at one island to the other, like a superhero. But he stumbled at the last second. His foot hits a rock. He falls down the gap between the islands. Oh my goodness. And you just hear Mud yelling and his voice becomes more faint.
Starting point is 00:59:35 You are at this point, you're in free fall, falling between the islands. What does it sound like, Mud? Okay. What about as he was handing me the apple, he also accidentally took my vest off me. I'm fine. I'm fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:53 And Mutt just yells back, it's all right, I'm a druid. I'll figure this out. But he'd be, it'd be, it's all right. Yeah. That's all you need. What? If he comes back, you need those briar orbs.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Yeah. Bye. It's Sludge's turn. I think he's close enough now to do something. Okay, yeah, you see, you know, Sludge is across in the island where Inku was originally, and you see beneath him like a glowing blue square open up in the ground,
Starting point is 01:00:21 and he kind of like tumbles into it, and a corresponding blue square opens up on the island where you all are like tumbles into it and a corresponding blue square opens up on the island where you all are and he emerges from that amongst the party he looks around a little bit uh it seems confused and says oh he ran away from me already did he me me did you not see him jump off the cloud yeah he probably ran back to the forest to have a tree he's leaving the spell casting to the real mages this guy talks a lot of smack he is going to lash out with one of his appendages at gum gum all right one of his appendages he's like a you know he's like an ooze he's got weird appendages and pseudopods.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Oh, a 20. Yeah, I got a crit. I assume that hits. Yeah. It does 59 points of bludgeoning damage as it hits you. Is he still raging though? Yeah. So that's like 29.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Yeah. Okay. Plus it does an additional 23 points of psychic damage. Okay. And you need to make a strength saving throw because his appendage tries to grab you. It wraps itself around you. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:31 I looked at you. All right. Okay. He's got a plus 10. I also have advantage on strength saving throws while I'm raging. Nice. So that's going to be a 26 strong boy.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Oh, yeah. You easily break out from the ooze as it tries to wrap around you. Gross. While it seems like he's looking at Gum Gum and attacking him, another appendage shoots out in another direction at Kyborg and tries to hit him. No, you don't want to do that. No.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Tickle, tickle, tickle. Oh, it hits AC 14. Ooh, that's my armor class 16 there. All right. Well, that's a miss. Okay. That's it for Sludge. Kyborg, you're up.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Okay. Kyborg and then Bart. I say, forever winter! And Sludge is now my new mortal enemy. And then I also, with a bonus action, use gift of the chromatic dragon. Chromatic infusion. He doesn't like lightning, does he? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:02:29 I know my lightning javelin worked on him. All right. I use lightning. So that's an additional 1d4 damage whenever it hits. So that's plus the cold damage as well. And then I also want to use an arcane shot. Twice per short rest rest you fire an arrow Okay, hold on the part of the it's part of the attack action. So this isn't a bonus action
Starting point is 01:02:52 It's part of the attack shot gotcha and I'm gonna use grasping arrow. So that's gonna be 2d6 slashing damage and then every time they try to move then they get a little stinky stinky. All right, here we go I'm gonna roll my damage stuff now. Uh-oh, stinky. 23 hit. That hits. All right, here's the piercing. 15 plus 46 cold damage.
Starting point is 01:03:15 14 plus the gift of the chromatic dragon. Let's see where that goes. What was that, 1d6? You tell me. 1d4. And this is lightning? Yeah, that's one. I don't like how that did that,
Starting point is 01:03:33 so I'm going to use my piercer, which is once per turn, you can reroll the piercing damage from an attack. I guess I can't reroll that then, huh? Nope. Okay. And then going back, I also did the grasping arrow,
Starting point is 01:03:50 which is going to be 2d6 slashing damage. So I'll roll that. Ka-chow. Five. Okay. Your arrow strikes sludge, but it's almost like since he's so amorphous and oozy, it's almost like his body opens up and the arrow passes almost entirely cleanly through him.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Guys, I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna kill you guys. You hear him laughing. Mwahaha! Mwahaha! Mwahaha! Mwahaha! Misa me a wonky Chewbacca.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Mwahaha! Misa take a kyborg poop. Yuck. Firing again with the longer bow crystallina. 29. That's a hit, yeah. All right. Here's my piercing damage.
Starting point is 01:04:31 It's a nine plus the 46 cold damage. That's a 15 plus the D4 from give to the commander dragon. It's four. What happens? And the four is lightning. Yes. Does he not take piercing damage at all? Was that the thing?
Starting point is 01:04:45 Yeah. Once again, the arrow flies right at him and his body seems to move and the arrow flies cleanly through him and emerges on the other side of his body. Okay. All right. Let's take a moment here. So I know that I have magic arrow and refire. Curving shot.
Starting point is 01:05:03 When you make an attack roll with a magic arrow and you miss, you can use the bonus action to reroll the attack roll against a different target. Shoot, there are no different targets. Farts. Come on. Are you serious right now? Are you serious? I'm the bow and arrow guy.
Starting point is 01:05:17 What do I even do? You got to do other stuff. Diversify. You got to be well-rounded. Yeah. Me gave you a way. Me gave you a burn. Well-rounded. Diversify You gotta be well rounded Yeah Well then I'm gonna use second win Once per short rest you can use a bonus Shoot I've already used my bonus action
Starting point is 01:05:33 Come on farts Oh man a turn where Kaibar can't do a gazillion Things helpful I can't switch out my long bow for a long sword Cause that's also an action Am I opening myself up to... No, I don't want to retreat. That's just stupid. I'm sorry. Come on.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Give me something. Okay. If I shot at his feet and did a bursting arrow, does that do anything? Well, he doesn't really have feet. It's like a ooze. Well, if I shot at his oozy feet, I don't have any arcane shots left. I am useless. Oh, save that one. Save that one. I don't have any arcane shots left. I am useless.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Oh, save that one. Save that one. I want that sound bite. That's text messages now from Blaine. Oh my God. I'm going to use my movement action. To do what? To move away. I don't know. I'm just going to move away. Does that open me up? Attack of opportunity? Kyborg's running away, everybody.
Starting point is 01:06:21 You already had a little bit of distance between you because, you know, you're a ranged attacker. So you were out of the range of an attack of opportunity. Okay. 35 feet. How far does that get me? Does that make me go to another island or do I need to roll for a...
Starting point is 01:06:35 You would have to jump if you want to get to another island. You could conceivably jump to one of them. Cool. All right. I'm going to hop to a separate island. Just get my maximum distance. Do you want to go to the one to the west where Inku was Do you want to go to the one to the west where Inku was, or do you want to go to the one to the northeast where Quadrant was?
Starting point is 01:06:49 I'll go to the one where Quadrant was. Okay. So you make a beeline to the northeast and jump across like a 10-foot gap. Roll an athletics check just for fun. You'll easily make it. But let's see. 12. Yeah, you do.
Starting point is 01:07:01 You do make it. Oh, thank God. And then I just started cussing up a storm and kicking rocks and just being stupid, stupid, stupid. Bart, it's your turn. Then after you is Gum Gum. Okay. Well, I think I've used this on Sludge before, so I'm going to try it again.
Starting point is 01:07:16 I'm going to try to cast Synaptic Static. Oh, yeah. That's what worked last time. Yeah. Or something like that. Mm-hmm. You choose a point within range and cause psychic energy to explode there.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Each creature in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on that point must make a intelligence saving throw. A creature with an intelligence score of two or lower can't be affected by the spell. Does he have intelligence of two or lower? No. Bart would know that he has more than that based on the fact he likes schemes and stuff. Okay. I would just say if you can manage to not hit me with this because I'm also... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:56 So like who is around Sludge right now? 20 foot radius sphere is pretty big. Yeah. That's gonna encompass most of this island that you're on. I guess only Bart and Gum-Gum are within that sphere at this point because Kyborg jumped to another island and Mud fell
Starting point is 01:08:13 between the islands. Heroically fell. Is there a way he could like position it so that it's hitting? Because Sludge is big. Well, you could position it like on the far side of the island to where only Sludge gets encapsulated in that. Yeah, that's what I would like to try. Just so like if Gum Gum and I are kind of on like the outskirts and he gets.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Yeah, you could absolutely do that. I will cast that. So he has to make an intelligence saving throw of 17 or more. Yeah, I don't like that. Intelligence is, oh God, plus three. Okay, so I need a 14 or better. 20, Okay. So that is a successful save, but I take half damage.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Yeah. So I'm going to roll 86. So 32. So half of that. 16. A perfect half. So he takes 16 points of damage. Okay. Does that work? Yeah. Sludge seems to howl in pain as the synaptic static goes off.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Pseudopods begin thrashing about from his body. Pseudopods. And then I don't know if my star would work because that is... That's a bonus action. Yeah, which I would have. Yes. But I just mean in terms of like, would that damage him? If arrows didn't really affect him, like piercing damage.
Starting point is 01:09:24 I just don't know what type of damage those stars do. I think it was radiant. Radiant. Yeah. I think that would work. Yeah. Let's try it. There's no one else to shoot.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Yeah. So I'm going to use another one of my stars. Go ahead and make your attack roll. The one I'm doing that again. 23. That hits. Cool. And that does 25 points of damage.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Radiant damage. Radiant. Yeah, your crown of stars, you know, lets one mote fly and it hits Sludge. It gets absorbed into his body, seems to illuminate him from the outside as he continues writhing in pain from the impact and from the radiant damage. You're like a lava lamp. Yeah, kind of like a gross, snotty lava lamp. Yeah. And of like a gross snotty lava lamp. Yeah. And then that's all I could do. Alright. The next up
Starting point is 01:10:10 right now is Gum Gum, then Paralite, then Mud. What do you want to do, Gum Gum? Gum Gum pulls out his wand and says, Magic! And let's see what this is. 93.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Great number. What does that do? A burst of colorful, shimmering light extends from you in a 30-foot radius. All enemies in the area that you can see must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become blinded for one minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns until it gets success. So, see if it gets blinded. Okay, so a Constitution saving throw? Yeah, throw yeah 15 but this is just enemies yeah yes yeah he makes it he makes it he
Starting point is 01:10:53 rolled an 18 yeah yeah so the colorful light still shoots out from the wand engulfing a sludge but nothing seems to happen and then i'm gonna use my bonus action to rage. Okay. And you know what? I forgot about something. I can roll twice and pick. Oh, yeah. Oh. That's a new thing.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Five and two. So I can either teleport away or forceful rebuke whenever a creature hits you with an attack, roll for your rage, and that creature takes 26 force damage. It's just Bart on here. I don't want to leave Bart. I'll do the forceful. I'm pretty strong. Please ignore the fact that I was on the forceful. I'm pretty strong.
Starting point is 01:11:28 Please ignore the fact that I was on the brink of death moments ago. I ate an apple. Yeah, whenever a creature hits me, they take force damage. Okay, just remind me if I attack you again. Yeah. Is there anything else you can do? No. If you can't do anything, do it with confidence.
Starting point is 01:11:48 It's Paralite's turn. Kill him. Save mud. You can fly. You're fine. I can't fly. Can you not turn into like an animal that can fly? But mud can't fly.
Starting point is 01:11:59 Like an owl mud can. Owl mud. Paralite seems to move move around she's trying to sneak around the peripheral do uh a side that Sludge is not paying attention to uh
Starting point is 01:12:11 you see her just kind of slinking around at the moment mud you're up then after mud is Sludge then Kyborg okay
Starting point is 01:12:17 so I'm falling with style with style mud does everything with style how far would I have fallen in that amount of time thus far? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:27 The range. It's not very far. 10 feet or so? It's not very far. Perfect. Far enough where I'm away from everybody. They're worried about me until all of a sudden they see Mud appear. Like a phoenix.
Starting point is 01:12:40 But Mud doesn't just appear by himself. Mud appears riding on top of and next to a quartet of Quetzalcoatluses. Oh, my God. Which are the largest flying creatures in history. They're basically the big pterodactyls kind of guys from like Jurassic Park 3. Ooh. guys from like a Jurassic Park 3. And so I fly up and I've got my four Quetzalcoatlus
Starting point is 01:13:08 because I cast conjure animals again because it just seems to be the way I fix everything. And on the one I'm on the back of, I do a flyby and I throw some of the antiseptic salt that I've been holding on to. Oh! Wow, I forgot you still had some of that. I forgot you had that. Callback!
Starting point is 01:13:24 Nice. And I douse Sludge with antiseptic salt. Nice. He begins howling in pain. He looks at you, Mud, and says, I wish you'd never been born. No way. That was your brother.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Yeah. Mud just simply just yells, Eat salt! Your diet's slow in sodium all right so every ooze in the area takes 2d6 radiant damage until the end of their next turn all attacks made against the ooze have advantage oh i didn't even see all that description wait is that the antiseptic salt yeah no you're right i'm reading it right now i'm reading it right now. I'm reading it right now. I didn't even click on the description. I just knew it was good against oozes. Okay, go ahead and roll 2d6 radiant damage then. That's five.
Starting point is 01:14:14 Yeah, the salt begins raining down. Sludge, you know, lets out his angry retort at you, and he begins writhing around in pain as the salt hits him. And almost coordinated at the same time, Paralite jumps into action and begins pummeling Sludge, almost like driving the salt further into the wounds. Throw the orb now. I've got him on the ropes.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Yeah, I throw my third orb at Sludge. The orb flies towards Sludge, and at the last second, Paralite jumps off of him. It impacts him, and he lets out some howls and screams that are flailing around wildly in every direction and is absorbed into the Briar Orb. I got a muck.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Mud got his revenge. Mud, you're the hero of the episode. I did it. Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, and the Anarchs freeze. Their red eyes dart around in panic as they're suspended in midair. The strumming gets closer, and three words get increasingly louder. Smash is came! Yeah! Soaring through the air like a sailboat train is a colossal purple worm.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Boom! As he blurs past you, you think you hear someone shout over the music. Hey, cardboard! The purple worm collides with the portal, and the cluster of Anarchs explode into red dust. you hear someone shout over the music. Hey, kyborgs! Kadoosh! The purple worm collides with the portal and the cluster of anarchs explode into red dust. Smarsh laughs hysterically
Starting point is 01:15:51 as he goes into a free fall. A vortex of swirling blue and purple opens up below him and swallows him up. Another vortex opens up right next to you all and out pops Smarsh's huge purple head. Riding on top of him is a half-orc wearing black boots and an amulet.
Starting point is 01:16:11 And in front of him is a bearded dwarf holding an emerald lute. Hi, Borg. Did you see me? Did you see? That's pretty cool, Sleek. It's really good to have you back, bud. Sleek, that was awesome! You're alive and you're best friends with Smarsh. The half-orc replies to Sleek. All of Faesus are as Austin. It's hard to miss a huge purple worm flying through the air.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Leonard, come on, you gotta admit that was pretty hardcore. We are Anarchs. Anarchs begin to split and multiply over and over again. Spectral rolls his eyes and holds out his hands. You all better come with us. He motions for you all to get up on top of Smarks with him.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Bart hops on. I hop on with my ring of jump. Yeah, I join. Paralite says, I'll catch up with you all later. I'm going to double back to check on Brink and Sorda. Wait, don't let her go. She's done so much to help you guys.
Starting point is 01:16:58 You all enter the vortex, and the dark viscosity consumes everything, leaving you in a hazy mist, rippling through shades of deep blue and purple. A voice on your right whispers, Welcome back to the ethereal plane. Oh. And another voice on your left whispers,
Starting point is 01:17:14 So, Guyport, did you miss me? I put a hand on his shoulder and I say, I'm glad you're safe, pal. You did good out there. Aww. Does he start crying? Does he start crying? He leans forward and gives Kyborg a big hug.
Starting point is 01:17:36 I thought he was going to go for a kiss. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know Bart doesn't technically have this canonically, but Bart takes out a camera and takes a picture as they're hugging. Bart just does like the mental image motion. Just click. All right. Well, that's it for this episode of Tales from the Stinky Dragon.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Tune in next week to find out where the party is headed to. Dang. That was a fun one. That was all the bosses except for the last guy. Entropa. We could have taken him. I have theories what that like clanking noise was. Well, maybe we'll find out soon. Maybe we'll find out. We could have taken him. I have theories what that clanking noise was.
