After some sinking in some stinking sand and other snares, the party found a skeletal entrance to a dragonic den. There they found old Skelle and Frankie but were interrupted by a third party, Eddie. Draw yourself a drink. Let's dive on into this dank drama. Hello, everyone.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Welcome to Tales from the Stinky Dragon. My name is Gustavo Sorolla. I am your dungeon master, and I'm joined by our four players. As always, they are... Barbara Dunkelman, the voice and person who is playing Elga Von Brath, the female half-elf vampire barbarian Blaine Gibson, a human playing Chip Haney, a tiefling
Starting point is 00:01:34 A human playing Am I wrong? That's true Chris Damaris, a robot playing Barney Barney A human cleric John Reisinger, a human cleric. John Reisinger, a very tired dad,
Starting point is 00:01:47 playing Matty Confucius, who's an Aarakocran monk ghost. Before we get started and dive into our story, I'm going to hit you guys with an arrow. Take a shot. We've got to roll a D100. We've got a list of 100 questions that were submitted online via the Stinky Dragon subreddit and Discord, and a few thrown in by Micah, our writer.
Starting point is 00:02:04 32 is sent to us by Colstock on Discord. What is something your character wishes most to lose or gain? I can go. Barney. Barney Poop. That was not in character. To gain back my memories that I don't remember. Do you need to lose anything?
Starting point is 00:02:25 Forgetfulness. You need to lose anything? Forgetfulness. You need to forget to forget. Yeah. Chip hopes to gain his wife back, Carol. Duh. And he wants to lose about 10 pounds right there in the midsection. Am I right? Am I right?
Starting point is 00:02:41 You know, this is a little known fact about Elga, but she actually had a sister named Evina. Lore! Hey, Elga Lore just dropped. Did you guys just get the hot new Elga Lore? Yes, it's fresh off the shelves. Or whatever the kids say, I don't know. I heard about it on TikTok. I heard about it on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Did you see the Elga Lore on TikTok? There's so many conspiracies. Um But I won't go into detail in case the writer of this show maybe has other details that he wants to go into. I was like on the edge of my seat. I know you had Blaine, the audience member listening in to you. She uh, she did not turn into a vampire. But she was my twin sister. Oh no, she still looks like a vampire? Uh... What now? turned into a vampire. But she was my twin sister. Oh no, she's still a vampire? What?
Starting point is 00:03:29 Can I start listening to this? This is a confessional private room. That's funny to visualize these as like little confessionals. Players are little characters. Matide, they're ready for your interview. The only thing that Matide and I myself, would like to gain is knowledge. Specifically, as I further pursue my monk skills and abilities,
Starting point is 00:03:53 that is my only goal, as well as the perfect croissant recipe. Barney, I couldn't hear exactly, but I think Matide said they wanted to become a monkey. I don't know. Oh, it explains so much. Barty and everyone else is just pressed up against the interview wall, trying to listen in. Also, I just want to shout out John's
Starting point is 00:04:12 French accent. It is not easy to do a French accent, and you're doing it really well. I just want to commend you. That means a lot coming from a Canadian. Compliment my Canadian accent next. My northern accent. You actually do it very good. Oh, shucks. And Chris, you. Very good. Oh, shucks. And Chris, you sound very old.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Well, thank you. Well, I think Chris pulls it off because Chris just sounds confused. And that comes across really well. You walk to the narrow winding passages to the east. There's a few shimmering crystals on the wall, and the caves seem to kind of wind and split up and reconvene and make their way down to the south. You enter a wide grotto with an open skylight in the cave ceiling, a beam of morning light pouring into the cavern. To the south is a pond trickling with
Starting point is 00:04:56 sparkling purple fluid and to the north is a treasure trove of valuables. In the center you see Frankenstein chained to a pedestal of rock, flanked by a massive winged creature of barbed black bones blazing with purple flames who you recognize as Skelegon. Your time is almost up, you seditious spawn. Perhaps I should slay you for your sins now, and pay another visit to your village to sprinkle your ashes. Stein not afraid of Big Lizard? Stein save Frank Frank! No! Please ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:05:32 I beg you, don't harm anyone else. Then tell me where the crystal is! It's... You said he was the thief that stole the crystal. Where is your proof? And out from the shadow steps a large skinless person with bulging white muscles and green veins. Cool your blazing bones, Skelegon. This is the fun part.
Starting point is 00:05:56 You've just got to know how to play the game. Eddie's lime green eyes glow and a wide splintered smile of jagged teeth comes across his face. He slowly drives a claw through the sutures holding Frankenstein's face together and the stitches start to rip one by one. Please, somebody help me! The alchemist huddles you all up and says, We need to come up with a plan. What are we going to do? You know, we don't have the crystal.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Can we not just give it to him and call it a day? It seems a bit odd that Monsieur Eddy is here as well, working with the large dragon. Does it seem odd, really? If you really think about it. But yes, I agree. I mean, it seems a full-on assault on Eddy and did not go so well last time.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, I look at specifically at Chip. Well, I rub my bruises from that fight. Okay, quick temperature check of the room. How's everyone looking on, like, health? Like, say we did try to take these guys on. A little ruckus? A little a fist of cuffs? I'm a little tired.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Elga's feeling pretty strong. I'm not feeling so good, Elga. Well, there's nothing I can do to help you, unfortunately. We'll upset the cleric. What about those elixirs I gave you previously? Yeah, we gave the healing ones to Chip and Barney, and then we gave the other one to Elga which was like the the there was one of growth you had the growth you had the growth i do have a healing elixir you should take that
Starting point is 00:07:31 healing elixir i mean okay okay i'm gonna take a potion i'm gonna take a potion of healing so like say i go over the amount that i need could i get that in like bonus points could i cash that in no no temp hp from this god i think that actually it bonus points? Could I cash that in? No, no temp HP from this. God. I think that actually it's like kind of like a surplus in calories and actually goes straight to your waist. Oh no. I gotta lose the IPs. I know, I know. I'm not trying to gain them. It sounds like maybe what you should do
Starting point is 00:07:55 is save the potion for when you really need it. I already used it. Barty's just wiping it away from his mouth. Barty's just like throwing the glass vial on the ground. I am quite scared though, because like, say I take a mighty hit, which I have from Eddie in the past, I'm dead. Then it would seem that we need to figure out some sort of stealthily approach to this problem.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Ah, yeah. Yeah, what you do is you put me out in front. Uh-huh. And then I go boom, boom. I thought you went before we left Just, just For the audio listener though When Barbara said boom She put up both of her fists
Starting point is 00:08:34 As though like that's their names Boom boom Boom and bam Genuinely, I don't know how to approach this Where we do not get into a fight And I would love any ideas. Well, here's the thing. He's looking for his crystal, which we have acquired.
Starting point is 00:08:50 So maybe there's a deal where we trade Frankenstein for the crystal and avoid the fight altogether. In my head, the visual of just the crystal flying over whatever rock we're hiding behind and going over to them. Take it. Yeah. What if someone held on to the crystal and, like, we held it hostage?
Starting point is 00:09:07 Oh. Hostage. Yeah. Alchemist, what do you think we should do? That's the new one in our phone a friend tactic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are correct
Starting point is 00:09:17 that a head-on encounter would be difficult, but we do have this item, Skelegon, once, so perhaps we can broker a trade. Who has it? Do I have it? I believe you do. I think I do. It's probably mixed in there with a bunch of croissants and muffins. It smells delicious.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Maybe we should not have the item with us, because then we could just get killed. Oh, okay. And we send the big send the big scary meat? No, the big one, the skeleton gone. Make him go away. So then it's just a one-on-one with us. Well, we don't know how deep those binds tie. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:09:57 How? How? Matin puts a wing over his mouth and just goes, I like this idea since they have not noticed our approach yet. What I think would be very good since I am a bird. Is Barney aging in
Starting point is 00:10:16 front of me because I think your voice is getting older and older. He's just going like the way of Indiana Jones, that guy just drinking the wrong cup. I drank the wrong cup. I drank the wrong potion. I will stay back with the crystal, and you three may go forward and approach the negotiations. What if we hide the crystal far away?
Starting point is 00:10:39 I'll take it to the entrance of this cave. I agree with keeping the crystal on the person. Yeah, and they can fly. That's a bird. On your person means on your belonging. You know, it does not have to on the person. Yeah, and they can fly. That's a bird. On your person means on your belonging. You know, it does not to be a person. Mateed is a good one to have it. They're very mobile.
Starting point is 00:10:53 They could get out of here in a jiffy. A bird. And listen, I'm happy to talk. If I need to do some killing, we'll do some killing. But I'm happy to go to the table and talk. Then we have our plan. Yeah. Okay. Mateed tries to, like, move out of any sort of visual path of, like, Skele-Gon.
Starting point is 00:11:10 So just to kind of, like, reset the stage, we talked about this in the previous episode. You had taken a passage to the south and kind of turned to the west. Okay. And come into this room with the liquid and the treasure hoarder where all this is happening. So if you want to get out of sight, you just have to go back around the corner to the north. I don't know if you want to keep going because further up to the north, there's some more caverns and some routes you had gone through. I just want to be around a corner with an earshot of what's happening. So like out of sight, but within earshot.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Correct. Okay. Yeah. You don't have to go very far for that. Birds can hear really well. Can they? Yeah. They can.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Owls can. Yeah. Okay. I wasn't sure if it was like an owl thing or all birds. They got good senses. They got sharp senses. But they got no like earlobes. They just like holes in their head.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Birds can hear really well. Okay. We'll see how that roll goes. Matide pops out of sight around the corner, leaving the remainder three of the party to do. Here's an idea. Yeah. I'm a little girl.
Starting point is 00:12:07 So what if I just skip out into the opening going la, la, la, la, la, and just be like, oh, I think I got lost, and see what happens. Maybe they not be so violent. Well, that sounds adorable. Do we have any concern that Eddie might recognize you? Because we did try to fight him. Eddie and Skelegon have seen this party before. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yes. Well, maybe they see a lot of people. My suggestion is to stick to Mr. Bonnie's plan, and you approach this as a negotiate. Okay. If we want to look more intimidating You know, I can put you on my shoulders And then we'll look bigger
Starting point is 00:12:49 You know how when you encounter a bear I have an idea Do you have a big coat you can put on? I have an idea What? Okay, go ahead, Barney Alright You, Chip Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:58 You stay back and be sneaky And see if you can find, you know Another angle And then And then The two of us will go in and chat. Okay. So maybe I can, you know, help Frankenstein get away while you guys are doing the chat. I will say I'm stealthy, but I'm also very friendly. Got the charisma.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I got the riz, as the kids say. I don't think friendly is going to necessarily aid us in this situation. Yeah, yeah. We might need some more intimidation. Try not to be friendly while you're being sneaky, because they might not work together if you're talking and being friendly. You got good stealth stats. You could do that.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I also have very good charisma, so I could intimidate or be friendly. Don't meta this. Let the old man and the girl. Yeah. Alright, so... Elga skips out in front. Yes. I disappear into the shadows. Excuse me. I'm looking for my granddaughter.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Oh, I love this. Let's go. Let's go. Alright, right off the bat, Chip, make a stealth roll. Oh, this will be easy. No problems. Ten. Come on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I got an inspiration die. You're using it for that. Okay. I would. Yeah? Yeah. All right. Well, this will be better.
Starting point is 00:14:17 That's a 21. There we go. I slick into the shadows. Good news, everybody. We don't need to get a new rogue. Do you slick? I slip. Good news everybody, we don't need to get a new rogue. You slick? I slip. Slink, slink. Slink is the word you are looking for.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I was looking for slink and slip. Anyways, I'm in the shadows. So Chip disappears. Elka, you go skipping out? Yes. I'll follow. Okay. And Barney, are you saying that line you said? Slow down, yes. Granddaughter? Where is she? La la la la la.
Starting point is 00:14:45 I am just a little girl who got lost in the- I hear her. Slow down. I'm coming. I'm gonna give you all the benefit of the doubt and I'm gonna roll wisdom checks for Skelegon and Eddie to see if they remember you. That's our dungeon master. Just cause, let's see how this goes. He's a fair
Starting point is 00:15:01 god. That's a low one for Eddie. That's low, that's not good, that was an eight. And for Skelegon, that's a five. Okay. Oh my goodness. Idiots. You know, like just humanoids in general all look alike to them. Right. Because they're not a humanoid.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Skelegon is so big. Yeah. And humanoids are so small. Yeah. It's hard to pick up detail. I guess it's like when you go to a person's house and they have five of the same breed and you're like, how the hell do you tell these things apart? Oh, like it was a pet.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah, yeah. I guess Skelegon and Eddie turn and look at you. Who are you? How did you find my lair? Uh, you know, I was just chasing a ball, like all the little children do, and it's I guess it slipped into this
Starting point is 00:15:39 cavern area that we are in, and I chased it down, and then my grandfather here, very old. So at this point, Mateed could actually just leave, right? I'm good. I could just fly. I got wings. I can phase through walls.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Yeah, you could. Technically. I want to hear more about this ball. And then the ball rolled down, and I've been looking for it ever since. Do you think you'll be able to help us find it? There's no ball here that'll spawn. Oh, who's that with you over there?
Starting point is 00:16:14 What is the endgame is what I want to know. These are my cohorts. We're having a meeting of sorts. Why is that one all tied up? He likes it. Oh. Do you like it? Does Frankenstein recognize you guys? Let's make Frankenstein make a wisdom check too, as long as I've been doing this.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Frankenstein rolled a 19. Frankenstein looks at you two with very, with confusion in their eyes. Barney returns the look of confusion. I guess while this is going on, Chip, what are you doing since you're sneaking around? Oh, you know, slicking in the shadows as I do. Stop slicking. I can't stop slicking.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Is the distance between like where, because if Eddie is ripping off Frankenstein's stitches, that means Eddie's like right on Frankenstein. Right, exactly. Okay. I mean, I feel like I want to get an angle that's, how far away are they from me? You've had a little bit of time to move
Starting point is 00:17:09 while Elgo's been talking to them. So we'll say you're 30 feet away at this point. Okay. Let's say 35. Yeah, just to say 35. Okay. My movement is 30 and I have the dash ability. So I think I'm, but if I use dash,
Starting point is 00:17:23 then I can't use my sneaky tack. What are you going to dash into? Into a hug. My dear Frankenstein. Again, like this is not John, this is Mateed, but Mateed was like, okay, the plan was that the two of them were going to go out and start negotiations and then
Starting point is 00:17:39 Chip was going to hide and have a good angle if things go wrong. What thus far has happened is an improvised skip between Delga and Barney and Chip looking like he's about to dash into a battle with someone who killed him last time. Yes. And a dragon. And a dragon.
Starting point is 00:17:59 I have the dash ability, so if I need to swoop in and say like an explosion happens, I can go and grab Frankenstein, and I'd still have the sneak attack ability because it's a special and it's not a bonus. So I'm going to hang out and not try to blow it. All right. Okay. I think this is down to you two.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Well, is it like at this point, are we planning to give the dragon? Yeah. But like we got it like Eddie's a new angle. Right. And we don't want to start a dragon. Yeah, but we gotta, like, Eddie's a new angle. Right, and we don't want to start a fight. No. So we're looking for a little ball. What about you guys?
Starting point is 00:18:32 Yeah, are you guys looking for anything? I'm just waiting for one of you to go and scene. And move. I search for something incredibly rare which has been lost. And what does it look like?
Starting point is 00:18:47 It is a crystal that is of immense value to me. And what would you do for this crystal? All right, Skillagon's wary of that question. Yeah, these are just like ants to him. Why doesn't he just go, oh? Because I'm trying to be nice to you guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because Gus is trying not to delete half the party in one swoop
Starting point is 00:19:06 Skillagon's gonna make a quick wisdom check here again Fifteen It would be worth quite a lot to me Well then Well, what if we told you, Mr. Dragon That we Have what you are looking for What?
Starting point is 00:19:23 But we are only going to give it to you if you give us what we want. If not your ball, then what is it that you want? Freedom for your, uh, gentle... Associate and to live. And what? To live. Oh, yes, freedom and life. I thought you said and a lift.
Starting point is 00:19:39 And liberty! And a Frankenstein. But we want no trouble, either. How do I know you're telling the truth? And that you have what I'm looking for? Well, we'll describe it exactly. Go on. Describe it.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I don't remember. It is a crystal. Yes. And it is deaf. It is in a holder that I forgot the name of. Oh. It's a ball. You motioning with your hand. I'm trying.
Starting point is 00:20:13 It's a bird. I'm just trying to. Yeah, so out from behind the cave, there's the Talon motioning claws. It's in the claws. And it's very shiny. Chip is hugged up against the wall, looking nervously back and forth between the bird and the girl. Can they believe it is... What color was it?
Starting point is 00:20:33 It's crystal colored. That is not the color. You guys would remember this. Was it green or was it... Blue-ish? Can I do a knowledge check or something? Please, please. I think this is where it has to be the person.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Give me a wisdom check, Elga. It's just everybody at home who just finished the last episode is just screaming a car in their car. You know, I don't even know what the crystal looks like. You rolled a three. Barney got an 18. Oh, there you go. Are you going to be in character or are you going to not be in character? It's green.
Starting point is 00:21:05 It was green. It was green. It was character? It's green. It was green. It was green. It was green. It's green. It is green. A green crystal and a staff with the claws on it. I know nothing of the staff, but the crystal sounds right. Yeah, you may not have had the staff variation.
Starting point is 00:21:20 That's a bonus, a perk. Well, it seems like someone had it in a staff and was using it to wield some sort of power eddie would start laughing and chime in seat see exactly just as i explain you stay out of this who are you to talk to me that way old man i don't know who you are and you don't know who i am so we're equal footing you don't know who he is either emotions that's a big dragon i'm talking to the nice dragon now you stay out of this no not you this is what happens
Starting point is 00:21:52 when you have us talk a lot to someone this is good i love it well show it to me well we can't we can't let you see it yeah it has to be a game of trust you can see that I have what you want. Why can I not see that you have what I want?
Starting point is 00:22:12 Well, because you could kill us. You could kill me? How? A little girl and an old man. Wait, please tell us how. Is that chip in hiding? Please go us how. Is that chip in hiding? Please, please go into detail. Where might your vital organs be?
Starting point is 00:22:31 What's the boss? Are you allergic to anything? What is your weakest spot? You can understand my hesitance to believe you. After the spawns nearly wiped out all dragons, we have grown weary of your kind. Well, that's fair. That is understandable.
Starting point is 00:22:47 If we did give you back your crystal, it would mean a whole lot to you, would it not? Yes. Like so much that you would be a good person from here on out and be nice to all creatures, especially us? Have I not been? Well, okay. Here's what we can do. Didn't that Skelegon come and, like, light the village on fire? He sure did, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:10 But we don't know that. Okay. We'll give you your pretty green crystal, and you let us live, and let our friend, your friend over there live. And kill Eddie. And kill Eddie, yes. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Why don't you make a persuasion check, Barney? Come on. I rolled a two. It's a six. Do you have inspiration? No, I don't. How about in return for the crystal, I give you your friend and your life. Or how about we do exactly what my friend just suggested, but now I suggest it.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Oh. As Barbara immediately gets a persuasion check. Let's hear her out. For a 16. Or how about we do exactly what my friend just suggested, but now I suggest it? Oh. As Barbara immediately gets a persuasion check. Let's hear her out. Verse 16. Hmm. I'll agree to all that. But Eddie lives.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Why not? Well, you don't need him, do you? He's just, you know, a little scum to you, right? Old man, did you not just say you did not wish to deal with him? Well, I'd like to deal with you. But you want him killed? Yes, I don't like him. He's quite rude.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Why is he so important to you, a big, strong dragon? Oh, there you go. That's cool. Like you, he is nothing to me. Okay, then kill him. Oh, yeah! Then why do I not just kill you? Well, because I know where your crystal is.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Where is it? Well, I can't tell you, because then you could kill me. You have the upper hand. I wave over to Mateed and give thumbs up. This is going great! Why don't we do, you know, like, one step at a time. Like, first step, you let our friend Frankenstein
Starting point is 00:24:43 go and give him to us. And then next step, we give you crystal. I must see the crystal before I release Frankenstein. Well, I can draw it for you. Very well. Proceed. One moment. Can I try and draw it?
Starting point is 00:24:58 Yes. How are you trying to draw it? Do I have anything to draw with? I don't know. I don't think so. Look at your inventory. I have an emerald pen. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:09 But it has something, if I use it, called illusionary script. I'll carve one out of wood. Everyone take a seat. What about like an alms box? Could that in theory? Do you know what an alms box is? That's the thing where you put your sins in, right? Is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Thanks for listening, everybody. We'll be back next week. You put money in there. You put alms box is? That's the thing where you put your sins in, right? Is that what it is? Thanks for listening, everybody. We'll be back next week. You put money in there. You put alms in there. Alms. Alms for the poor. Alms. Oh, I thought it was like a sin box.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Wait, describe to me how you put your sins in a box. What's a sin box? How do you put, what sin do you put in that box? Yeah, what are you putting into this thing? I thought it was like a confessional, but like on paper. So they can like have a paper trail of your sins? Well, yeah. You put them in the sin box.
Starting point is 00:25:49 And then what happens next? I don't know. You're confessing them. And then that's like part of the, I thought, you know, like, you know what I'm realizing? There's probably a few churches across the state of Texas that have some weird suggestions in their suggestion box. What is this? What? Is Mateed able to hear any of this?
Starting point is 00:26:08 Yeah, Mateed can hear everything. Birds have excellent hearing. Thank you, Gus. Mateed, is there anything you want to do? Like, do you want to just come over and show? I feel like staying out of sight is still good. Like, I think, like, getting, I think what you were saying, you were leading towards something that was good
Starting point is 00:26:22 before we got stuck on drawing a crystal and putting our sins in boxes. I guess we'll just go. If you don't want your crystal, we'll just go. Eddie's the unknown here, and that's what I worry about, personally. I just think we're in a situation where we just have to prove that we have the crystal. Okay. Then I'm going to come around the corner. I come around the corner. Okay. And I'm holding
Starting point is 00:26:40 the crystal staff in my hand. Is this what you're looking for? Gilligan's eyes narrow. Indeed. So you two are of no use to me. Well, no, that's not the real crystal. No, we are a package deal. We have two of them.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Barney, shut up. Okay. We are all a package deal. If you harm any of us, you get no crystal. Yes, little spawn. That is what I'm looking for. Zen, I will happily provide it to you once you send our friend Frankenstein over to us and...
Starting point is 00:27:16 And kill. Stop it. And grant us safe passage out of your grotto. And kill Eddie. I'm good at... Like, Mateed is thinking about throwing the crystal staff at the heart of Barney.. And kill Eddie. I'm good at, like, Matide is thinking about throwing the crystal staff at the heart of Barney.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Just like a spear. He was the big bad all along. You know, once Matide comes around the corner with the rod and the crystal, Eddie definitely also really focuses on it as well. Honor their wishes.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Free the captive. And Eddie releases the bonds holding Frankenstein. Thank you very much. Since I have your attention, I'm curious. What did Monsieur Eddie tell you? You seem so bent on that other people stole your crystal. Why are you so prone to trusting this other spawn?
Starting point is 00:27:58 It was Eddie who told me the location of that crystal. Did it ever cross your mind that maybe this spawn is the one who stole it in the first place? Did you recover it from him? Yes. Perhaps we, uh... Barney. Matisse looks at Barney. Do not open yourself up to roles.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Uh, there is, um, we... We believe we actually procured it from an associate of Monsieur Eddie. Go on. His name was Weegor. Nasty little fella. Does that name ring any bells for you? It does.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Eddie told me that he learned this information from someone named Weegor. Then let's put the puzzles together. The man who told you that your crystal was stolen also is in association with with one who stole it. That could be the case. But I have slept for many, many years. It was Eddie who woke me to alert me to what was going on.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I do not want to impugn upon your intelligence at all. You seem to be an aged and wise dragon. However, let's think about the possibility that Eddie woke you up to get his own deeds done via a strong dragon. However, let's think about the possibility that Eddie woke you up to get his own deeds done via a strong dragon. Yes, using your anger and your bitterness towards the people who might have stole it to get things that he wants. It's too
Starting point is 00:29:15 convenient to not think this. Make a persuasion check. That's a really good argument. 18. Well, I'm convinced. And this is when Mateed nods and pats Barney's head. Very interesting indeed. Skelegon's eyes narrow as if he's thinking it over and working on some machinations that you can't begin to try to imagine. Suddenly, Skelegon screeches in pain.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And a blinding flash of white light consumes the garage. Whoa! Oh my goodness. What did you do, Chip? Oh! Uh-oh. You blink your eyes, but your vision is bleached with brightness.
Starting point is 00:29:53 However, you hear the dragon groan and collapse to the ground with a loud thud. Now! Now, now! Let Dr. Eddie take a look and see what's wrong with old Skelly here. Here's the problem. Looks like we have a case of a broken heart. Well, fear not, my friend. I'll take care of that.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Lickety split. Finally, your vision starts to return. You see Eddie holding a purple crystal heart in his hand. A wide splintered smile of jagged teeth comes across his face. How about that? Skelly here was searching for a crystal heart and I found one inside it. It was here all along!
Starting point is 00:30:29 Ha ha ha! You look over and Skelligon's once blazing bones now lie on the ground in a lifeless pile. Ooh! Looks like you have one too. I'll trade you Frankie over here for the crystal. No questions asked. Well, you know, I was just starting to like this, Galagon.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I do not think that's going to happen today, Monsieur Eddy. How about instead you give us the purple crystal? Eddy laughs maniacally, uh, and the pile of dragon bones start to rattle and shake until all at once... a spectral purple dragon emerges from the pile of the bones treacherous traitors all of you i should have expected nothing less than duplicious deception from such spineless spawns skeleton is no more now you shall feel the

So now we're fighting Eddie and a corporeal... Dragast. Eddie who one-shot a dragon. A dragon.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Four. I rolled a six. Oh, who one shot a dragon. A dragon. Four. I rolled a six. Oh, I have my double my advantage thing, right? Advantage on initiative? Yeah. My vigilance blessing. Go for it. I don't know why you say it that way. And Matide, you have a 10?
Starting point is 00:32:58 I have a 10. A 17. All right. Barney, you are at the top of the initiative order. Then a couple of NPCs and then Matide and then Elka. How many times do you think you're going to kill one of our characters in this campaign, Gus? Come on. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Today, we may double it today, huh? Oh, come on. Is Eddie a humanoid, by the way? A humanoid? The way you're describing, he's got like, humanoid has like, you know, the two arms, two legs, that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, humanoid, yeah. But he's not a human. Correct.
Starting point is 00:33:29 White. Humanoid is like a class of creatures in D&D. And yes, Eddie is a humanoid. All right, Barney. Where is everyone in respect to me? Elga is right next to you. Chip is like probably a little north of you, a little further ahead between you and Eddie. probably a little north of you,
Starting point is 00:33:43 a little further ahead between you and Eddie. And Mateed is a little behind you, just a few feet behind you because they were around the corner and then they just came back into this room. All right, well, I want to do my Twilight Sanctuary where a sphere is sitting around me, 30-foot radius, filled with dim light, moves around with me,
Starting point is 00:34:00 and if you end your turn in the sphere, I can grant that creature either 1d6 plus 2 two HP or end Charmed or Frightened. Is this a concentration spell? No. It's just a channel divinity. It's not a spell per se, just an ability. Yeah. So then you guys get some bonus HP like we're off to.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I'm going to do that. Look at you buffing us. Yeah, good job. So what do we do? At the end of our turn, he gets to decide to give one of those things. Every end turn. Right. And I do that.
Starting point is 00:34:24 And then I say, Mr. Dragon, the one that you're give one of those things. Every intern. Right. And I do that, and then I say, Mr. Dragon, the one that you're mad with is not us. It's that one over there. He took your heart. He's got it in his hand. Look right there. Now look right there. What is he holding?
Starting point is 00:34:34 And what is your friend holding? That's what we told you we had. We were bringing it back to you. We had told you all that. The one you should be mad is the one who has your heart in their hand. Make a persuasion check. I mean, that is very, that makes perfect sense. I get it.
Starting point is 00:34:50 It is a rational... I think the flash of light lets your position... Holy moly, that's a one. No spawn are to be trusted. Well, I agree. I agree, but just look at the facts. The facts are there are spawn in my lair, and they have two crystal hearts.
Starting point is 00:35:09 All right, well, we'll just leave. Does Barney turn his back? Well, he kind of maybe shuffles back. Is that the end of your turn? Yeah, I guess so. It is, you know. I think it was a good turn. I think it was a good turn for us.
Starting point is 00:35:23 You buffed your friends, and then you tried to fight for, you know, an argument. It's good. All right. Bye-bye. All right. I'll stay here. I don't know. Bye-bye.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I'll stay here. Barney crosses his arms and says, I don't like this. All right. Is that it for Barney? Oh, I also buffed my HP at the end of it. Oh, okay. It's Eddie's turn. He sticks a couple fingers in his mouth and lets out a loud whistle,
Starting point is 00:35:45 and a rope falls down from the cave skylight above. Dang it! I hate to leave when things are finally starting to get frightfully fun, but I've got a pyramid scheme to plan in Carcassonne. Am I close enough to try to chop that rope? You could maybe use a range attack from where you are or try to close the distance on your turn. Big battle axe throw. But right now
Starting point is 00:36:10 it's the alchemist. Oh, nice. I forgot we had him on our side. What the heck has that guy been doing this whole time? He very quickly, he would be pretty close to you, Elga. And he says, what's the plan here? What should we do? You're asking me? I'm just a little girl. You've been taking point here.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Yeah, that's true. Immediately plays her ego. All you got to do is butter Elka's toast. Yeah. I am the leader of this party, so I say. You know, I would just say it. As Elka glows in her adulation, fire streaks from Draghast and scorches her. I would say just, you know, kill the baddies.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Which one? Probably Draghast if you had to pick something. Draghast? Okay. Or Eddie, you know, he's getting away. We probably don't want him escaping with that crystal. Dealer's choice, really. So noncommittal.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Got it. Here, take this. And Elga, he hands you a bottle of like a sparkling golden mist. What is this? Take a swig of that. It'll help you. Okay. No hesitation.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I'm going to stay close to Barney and Elga for now and hold. All he did was give me an elixir of some sort. Yeah. He gave you a Fanta. Fanta. Did I drink it now or did I wait for my turn? You had to wait for your turn. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:29 You got three temp points. Plus three. Got it. Mateed. And then after Mateed is Elga. And then NPC and then Chip. Eddie hasn't escaped yet, right? No, he's just started climbing the rope up.
Starting point is 00:37:41 It's probably about 60 feet total that he has to climb. So it'll take him not a lot of time, but it will take him a little bit of time to climb up there. Imagine it being a helicopter because he was like, so long. That's exactly what's in my head. I'm not going to lie. Later, losers. Got to take a break.
Starting point is 00:37:59 But only on his turn. Is he allowed to move? Yeah, right, right. He's just going to wait here. Man, I want to pursue Eddie, but I don't love the idea of double dashing forward and just being within like a boo-boo distance. Can you shoot?
Starting point is 00:38:16 Can you not fly up and slice? That's the thing is that I think my flight is like 50. That sounds right. But he has 60 to go. He's got 60 to go. I'd need to be within five feet for a melee attack. Because even if you went like 30 above, cut him off at the halfway point.
Starting point is 00:38:31 He's also not at the base, though. They don't only have to travel vertically. They also have to travel horizontally. But I can go straight line. Right. And the straight line is... I'm just saying that it's not that simple. The straight line is 60 feet.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I'm going to be calculating. Calculating. This is what you love, John. This is me. It is, because if it The straight line is 60 feet. Let me see. Calculating. Calculating. This is what you love, John. This is me. It is, because if it's less, I'm good. It's about 70 feet or so to get to where Eddie is. Yeah, I don't have anything I can throw. I'm not a ranged attack person.
Starting point is 00:38:58 You have baked goods. I have a very stale croissant. Could it cut through a rope? How stale? Yeah. It's cut through a rope? How stale? Yeah. It's been with me since the beginning of this campaign. You could not come out with it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Wait, what's this? What is step of the wind? Step of the wind is you can spend one key point to take a disengage or dash action as a bonus action. Hey-o! Then I'm going to do that. I have step of the wind. I'm going to use one of my key, and I get the dash action as a bonus action. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:28 So it gives you additional movement equal to your speed for that turn. So I'm up on that rope, y'all. Yeah. So then if you're choosing to fly, which it sounds like, your flight is 50. So then you would be able to get an additional move, which means you'd be able to fly 100, which is greater than 70. Matisse just starts doing laps. Around the grotto. Could I go,
Starting point is 00:39:49 since Eddie is not at the top of the rope, I want to go top of the rope. So it was 70 to get to Eddie. It changes the angle a little bit because you're going up. But I'd have enough to go a little above him. Yeah, you'd have enough to get, like I'm just getting at, you would be able to get to the very top, but you could get definitely above Eddie on the rope. I attack the rope.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Ooh. And Jacques helps. I was just about to ask about Jacques. Is Jacques on your shoulder the whole time? Jacques is always on my shoulder. Probably going to attack it with your weapon, I assume? Make an attack rope? I don't have a weapon.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I have claws. Strike with your talons. I'm going to use it one of my key points, which is the first time I've gotten to do that, really, I think. Congrats. Maybe not. Maybe I've done other stuff. Maybe I did Flurry of Blows.
Starting point is 00:40:25 It's a monk thing. It's a monk thing. I don't do spells, but I can spend ki points to do little extra attacks. It's a monk thing. It's a monk thing. That's a 15 against the rope. What's the AC of rope? I don't know, but I'm going to say it's less than 15.
Starting point is 00:40:39 So yeah, we'll say you hit it. Nice. Okay. Then yeah, roll some damage. I do. Max damage, seven. Rope has two hit points. Nice. Okay. Then, yeah, roll some damage. I do. Max damage, seven. Rope has two hit points. Oh.
Starting point is 00:40:48 In D&D. I just learned that. So, yeah. Matide flies in and goes, bonjour. Slice it and goes, au revoir. That means hello and goodbye. Yeah. You hit the rope and you managed to successfully slice it.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Eddie was not too high off the ground, so he falls back down to the ground with a thud. And it looks dumb. Does he at least hurt himself a little bit? Let's say he was 10 feet off the ground, and he's taking 10 feet of fall damage. Yeah, you ever just stumbled, like, from ground level? It hurts.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yeah. You ever fallen off a bunk bed before? Have you blamed? Oh, 100%. I fell off a bunk bed at a Lego's once. Eddie only took four from that fall. He lands with a thud, and we'll say he's prone on the ground now. I like my turn. I fell off a bunk bed at a Legos once. Eddie only took four from that fall. He lands with a thud, and we'll say he's prone on the ground now.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I like my turn. That was pretty good. Way to go. Are you still up there? Yeah, I'm staying up high. How far away are you from me? How high are you? I wonder if you get the temp. Oh, I'm more than 70 feet.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Yeah, they would be beyond the 30 feet. Yeah. Can Mateen actually look up? Yeah. What do I see? No, birds can't look up. They're next. I knew that was going to come.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Yeah, you look up, and at the top of the opening in the cave, you see a handful of Eddie's henchmen up there. What do they look like? Just various humanoids. Remember when you encountered Eddie previously, he had a couple of henchmen with him. Okay. Oh, they're fired.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Was there anything else you were trying to discern from up there? Matty looks up. That's all my actions I can take because I did movement. I did a bonus action and I attacked the rope. You can poop. Oh, that too? No, I did not. Tactical poop.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Ghosts don't poop. Elga, it's your turn. Then NPC and then Chip. Could I rage? Yes. I'll allow it. Is drinking the elixir that the alchemist gave me a I rage? Yes. I'll allow it. Is drinking the elixir that the alchemist gave me a bonus
Starting point is 00:42:28 action? Yes. Oh, is raging a bonus action? It is, yeah. I'll tell you what, we'll say you just take it as a free action. We'll say the alchemist just put it right in your mouth. Yeah, he fed me like a baby bird. Like a baby, yeah. And I drink the potion. You feel like warmth go down your throat, into your
Starting point is 00:42:44 stomach, and then radiate outwards to all of your limbs. Elgin O's holy water. Usually I don't feel this good if I'm drinking anything, but never mind. And you look down, you notice your skin turns a golden color. From a metagame perspective, you gain advantage on one ability check or attack roll in the next minute. So kind of like an inspiration die? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Okay. But instead of rolling again, you declare you have advantage on this roll, and you roll two right off the bat. one ability check or attack roll in the next minute. So kind of like an inspiration die? Yeah. Okay. But instead of rolling again, you declare you have advantage on this roll and you roll two right off the bat. It's just mechanically done a little differently. Okay, cool. I would like to go over to Eddie and bite him. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Yeah, Eddie's on the ground lying prone. Yeah, I'm going to do my bite of sucking. I could, I assume, get to him from where I am? Yeah, you should be able to. He's within your movement range your movement is 30 yeah there's like some of that pool of liquids between like it kind of cuts off the area from where you are
Starting point is 00:43:33 but there's like you know rocks you can quickly step across and get over there okay Eddie this one's for Skelegon and I bite him okay you have advantage on this roll anyway because Eddie is prone. Okay. Well, I rolled a 20, but I'll do it again. 21.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Okay, yeah. You definitely hit. So roll damage. Six. But there's more to this one. Yeah, I'm reading it right now. The target takes piercing damage and must make a constitution saving throw. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Yeah. All right. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. Constitution is plus one. And the save is 14. Like the DC is 14. Low roll, low roll, low roll. 12 plus one, 13.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Yeah. Just short. Then on a failure, it's an additional D4 of necrotic damage. So go ahead and roll some extra necrotic damage on there. That's another three points of damage. Oh. Nice. You guys are not being nice to Eddie.
Starting point is 00:44:34 He's only brought a smile to everyone, and you all are just beating him up and bullying him. The Joker. I don't know what you're talking about. Elga, anything else? I don't know if I could do anything else. I feel the drag on. Drag gas. Drag it. The Joker. I don't know what you're talking about. Elga, anything else? I don't know if I could do anything else. Could have fielded drag on or drag gassed. Drag gassed.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yeah, where's the drag gassed in relation to where we are now? Probably right up on you. If you're right up on Eddie. Yeah, really close. Like just a few feet away from where you are. Like it was right behind it. Could I ready my greataxe?
Starting point is 00:45:02 Sure. Okay. Do you do more damage because you're raging? Oh, do I? I don't know. Yeah. But. Do you do more damage because you're raging? Oh, do I? I don't, well. Yeah. But I think you have to attack with a weapon for that. It's also like strength checks.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Yeah, yeah. I knew Gum Gum always did. Yeah, it's plus two to melee damage with strength weapons. Oh, strength weapons. There you go. Elga, have I ever told you your teeth are so strong? Oh, thank you. That is the greatest compliment one could hope for.
Starting point is 00:45:24 And now they're gold, so you got a cool grill. I've got a golden Elga. So the other thing is, you also regain hit points equal to half the damage you dealt. Yeah. Okay, so that was, I did nine total, so I would get four. It's four, but it's rounded up.
Starting point is 00:45:41 So five. That's pretty cool. And it doesn't overflow to temp. So I'm just at max now. Okay. Topped off. But were you missing some HP? But you get seven temp HP.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Thank you. And as a reminder, temp HP, you don't get to stack more temp HP on. And I just want to check, too. I sucked Eddie's blood. There you go. But does anything, like, because he had green veins, right? Oh, yeah. So do I feel any different from doing like sucking his blood?
Starting point is 00:46:12 You're shredded, dude. You're huge now. It has a minty taste you're not used to. Weird. Wow, cool. I don't like this blood. Maybe it's the mintiness or something. It's like, ugh, it's I don't like this blood. Maybe it's the mintiness or something.
Starting point is 00:46:28 It's like, ugh, it's throwing you off a little bit. Barbara, however. You feel a little woozy. All right, the NPC whose turn it is is Dragast. Which two players am I going to kill first? I think he sees the error of his ways and turns against Fetty. Crazy. He sees on the floor in front of him his purple heart. First of all, let's see if Chip
Starting point is 00:46:45 is noticed. Of course not. No, it's a six. Who's Chip? I'm one with shadows. Slick and dark. You're like Gronk from A Bird's New Groove
Starting point is 00:46:55 right now. So right in front of Dragcast is Elga and Matisse flying up in the air. Yeah. All right,
Starting point is 00:47:04 I'm going to take a... And Eddie is also down. Yep. That's true. Eddie is down and on the ground. He's a spawn. You are correct. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:13 And I think the Alchemist is also with us. You moved up. You moved up. Correct. He's talking about who's directly in front of the drag cast. One and two is Eddie. Three and four is Elga. Five and six is Matisse.
Starting point is 00:47:25 One and two. One and two. Matisse is Five and six is Matisse. One and two. One and two. Matisse way up high. Number two. Four. Oh. That's Elga. Matisse way up high.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Yeah, but it's still within reach of drag casts. Drag casts can fly. All right, come at me, you spawn. What did you call me? Uh. From my angle, Gus is behind Barbara. He said that and Barbara's head went, aw. It was like a dramatic soap opera.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I just learned that word from you. It's so nice. That's going to be a bite then at Elka. You bite me? This is plus nine. I don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Eleven. My AC is fourteen. Oh, curses. That's a miss. You can't
Starting point is 00:48:10 bite the biter. In fury, Dragast lashes out with a claw attack as well at Elga. What, your teeth weren't strong enough? Oh, the trash talk. But you rolled bad. I did, but that's a seventeen. Jesus. It's a plus. Yeah. Yeah. He rolled, but that's a 17. 17 hits. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:48:25 It's a plus, yeah. Yeah. He rolled an eight, but a plus. But that is a hit, yes. Yeah, so a claw strikes out at you doing 13 points of necrotic damage. Well, I'm raging. But it's necrotic.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Necrotic, okay. Would do full 13. Yeah, but it's still physical, right? Yeah, but the rage specifies bludgeoning, piercing, slashing. Like it's a ghost now, so it's not necessarily. Exactly. This is why we got a barbarian, guys.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Pain sponge. I didn't like that. Yeah. I didn't even go for you. I went for Eddie. Oh, but you went after Draghast with your words. Yeah. And I'll do it again. But we can't stop. That's what I like about Elga. She doesn't learn. Oh, but you went after Draghast with your words. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:06 And I'll do it again. Barbara can't stop. That's what I like about Elga. She doesn't learn. There's Barbara. She just has to talk back. Oh, wait. I just realized I have resistance against a chronic damage.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Oh, you do? So would that mean I would take less? You would take half. Half. Okay. So that would have been six? Six. So yeah, you would have.
Starting point is 00:49:26 So I'd be full HP with one tank. Yeah, correct. A normal human ability. Yeah, that's what it's like. Oh yeah, this child is sturdy. My MJ's so strong. Chip, you're up. And then an NPC. Chip was like mid-foot off the ground,
Starting point is 00:49:38 about to step out of the shadows, and then he saw the 13 points of necrotic damage and then went right back into the shadows. Can I quickly assess the situation? Do I notice that there might be any sort of relationship between the Purple Heart and Dragogast's form? Say I
Starting point is 00:49:54 were to attack it. Do you think that I could glean whether or not that would affect them at all? Make an Arcana check. There you go. Okay, here we go. You should show me the magic. 14. You don't think that there's any connection. Okay. Give him back his heart.
Starting point is 00:50:10 How far away is Dragast? You were sneaking along on the wall from where you are, we'll say, now 20 feet maybe? Eddie has the heart. Say theoretically, because Eddie's down. Prone. Prone on the ground. Yes, sorry. Eddie's down. Prone. Prone on the ground, yeah. Yes, sorry. Just a down has like a connotation.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I'm going to give you a walkthrough of what I'm thinking. Okay. Say I walk out, attack Eddie, pick up the heart, and try to give it to Dragass. Is that all allowed? Sure, let's try it. Can I do a disengage if it all doesn't pan out? It depends. I mean, if you still have the bonus action, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Ah, what the heck. Okay. What the heck alright So I walk out I say alright The jig is up I've been here all along This has been so much fun watching You guys Eddie
Starting point is 00:50:55 How you doing man I'm gonna stab Eddie With my arm blade while I walk up to him Okay make an attack roll You have advantage because Eddie is prone I'm surprised. Chip, what are you doing here? 18. Yeah, that hits. Okay, doing
Starting point is 00:51:11 8 points of damage. Nice. Do I get any... Shoot, I came out talking like a blubbering moron when I could have done a sneak attack. Not a good road. That's what I thought you did. Not a good road. I think also if you do a sneak attack, doesn't that use your bonus action? Yeah, but he's attacking me. No, it's a special.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Why didn't you do it? Because I'm a talker. Because this is Chip. I told you not to be friendly and sneaky. Oh, the callback. I should have listened to the old man. Wow, what a callback. All right, so eight.
Starting point is 00:51:41 With the sneak attack, you can say yes or no. The sneak attack, is that a thing? It's an effect that's applied when you have advantage. You have advantage on your attack because he was prone. So therefore, you should be able to roll your sneak die. Technicality counts. However, I will put an asterisk. I believe that that is not the case for ranged attacks when an enemy is prone.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Oh, I stabbed. But yeah, you were stabbing, so yeah. Okay, that's an additional six. Wow. He's taking a fair amount. This guy just fell off a rope. It's on the ground. Edward's like...
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah. How many holes are in him? And he's lying in an ever-growing pool of green blood on the ground. Rough stuff there, bud. Oh, sorry. You had it coming. Okay, I'm'm gonna pick up can i can i take the purple heart drag drag ass purple heart yeah we're gonna make an opposed strength check because uh eddie's holding on to it okay i'm sure he's rolling valor
Starting point is 00:52:38 such a layered joke he couldn't even wait for a moment to like where that mattered just blurt it out i'm happy i'm gonna get good with that that's great strength check so many layers to that everybody can see how proud chris looks right 17. i'm gonna roll i get a plus three on this 14 plus three is a 17. that's a roll off so who what do we do again do you just go again there we go yeah just so then in real life then we're we're like back and forth no way to lose all right and forth. Now Eddie, no win to lose, all right? Come on. Shocks.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Is Elga still latched onto him in her bite? No, I think you just bite and then let go, typically. Oh, that's a 15. Come on. Elga is like that fish that's like on the side of the fish bowl, just sucking, just stays attached. Yeah. I don't have any sort of advantage.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Eddie rolled a 20 plus three, so 23. Oh. Yeah, after holding on, going back and forth, Eddie does manage to get the best of it. Despite his weakened state laying on the ground, he is able to hold on. But Chip lets go at that opportune time that he stumbles back even further.
Starting point is 00:53:36 He's on the ground, he can't stumble. Well, then he pulls the crystal and it hits him in the face. Yeah, doing. Yeah. Maybe if he didn't roll a 20. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. At 20, he pulled so hard.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Wasn't even thinking about it. He pulled so hard, he pulled Chip down to the ground. And they kiss. So I say, okay, or you can have the purple heart, but hey, drag ass, that's your heart. Let's just end this fighting right now. You can take the dang thing. We'll help you beat this dude's butt. We can just end this fighting right now You can take the dang thing We'll help you beat this dude's butt
Starting point is 00:54:07 We can just call it a day We can all go home nice and happy What do you say? Same team Yeah, same team Make a persuasion check That's a good persuasion You said you were charismatic
Starting point is 00:54:16 Come on 12 Shucks I'd rather just kill you all And take both Fair point And I understand the need for that. That's, hey, you know, I get it, but I think you should reconsider.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I'm going to go hide. Please close your eyes and count to ten. Is that it for you, Chip? I want to go hide. You do hide? What mechanic? I have disengage or hide. Is it a bonus action?
Starting point is 00:54:52 It's a cunning action. Yeah, disengage would just allow you to leave an area without provoking an attack of opportunity. Hide, you can just roll a stealth check and try to hide. What do you recommend? I'm not a sommelier. I'm not going to... I'll roll a stealth check and just...
Starting point is 00:55:08 How are the stealth checks this time of year? Quite tasty. This stealth is from the Mediterranean. It's a blend. Pairs well with fish. How does the mouth feel of this? Okay, I guess I'll roll a stealth and see how this goes then. 17.
Starting point is 00:55:24 You very sneakily try to withdraw. Yeah, sneak back. Where'd he go? Yeah, any visual representation of this, other than just him just like Homer Simpson into the bushes. That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm thinking about also the Simpsons where it's like, I forgot something in my car.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Yeah. All right. Chip, that was it for your turn, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Chip, that was it for your turn, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. It's Frankenstein's turn. Oh, I buff you. Chip moved away.
Starting point is 00:55:53 That far? Yeah, because Chip is up by. Oh, Barney is not engaged into the fight yet. Right. I appreciate the sentiment, Barney. Man, you're buff. You've only got to use it half the time because our team is just like. Everyone keeps moving.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Yeah, just went straight forward. You're buff. You've only got to use it half the time because our team is just like... Everyone keeps moving. Yeah! Just went straight forward. Okay. Frank and Stein will also try to subdue Eddie as well. With a shout, Frankenstein jumps up. Eddie Batman. And tries to smash him with his fists. Hitting AC 19, which is a hit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Doing... Just finish him off. Just kill him. 19, which is a hit. Yeah. Doing... Four points of damage, which is not enough to finish Eddie off. That's very low. But Frankenstein sidles up with Elga and says, We protect little girl. Or little girl protect you.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Nope. Okay, you keep thinking that. Barney, you're up. And then after Barney is Eddie. How is Eddie looking? Not great. Can I go forward? And then I guess I'm going to cast Guiding Bolt on Mr. Eddie.
Starting point is 00:56:59 The flash of light streaks towards Eddie. You have to make a ranged spell attack. It's 22. That hits. That does a lot of damage spell attack. It's 22. That hits. Oh, that does a lot of damage. Yeah. That's 46 radiant damage. And he's necrotic.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Yeah, so that's 12. You're guiding bolt. Streaks straight towards Eddie, hitting him, and he falls unconscious, the crystal falling out of his hand. I'll then go and pick it up. Yeah, you expend your move to get up there, and you pick up the crystal. I pick it up.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Now, where am I now in relation to the dragon? You're really close. Within five, ten feet. Well, here you go, Mr. Dragon. Now, can we go? So you're handing over the purple crystal. Should I? Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:57:40 You see a thumbs up, a purple thumbs up. There you go. And I kind of like, can I just put it? Here you go. And give it to like can I just put it here you go And give it to him. I don't know if I put it in him or what I've seen the diagram I have the diagram it's in my inventory He's not wrong You hear a
Starting point is 00:58:02 Loud whistle above and the tea drops the crystal down towards Dragon. Oh, look at you guys. I also pull on the rope and pull those idiots down. They're not being here with us then. Go ahead and give me a medicine check, Barney. I'll tell you what, since you did have the chart, roll it with advantage. I just realized that green crystal might be for another Dragon.
Starting point is 00:58:24 It could be his love. We don't know. It could be. 16? 16. That's pretty good. He says, Thank you. I can finally rest in peace.
