now I'm a little bit of a Hey everybody, welcome back to the Glass Cannon Podcast, episode 57 of the Giz Pip.
Whoa.
Oh, you want to take that one over?
How do you say GCP is a word?
I said Jizpip.
The Jizpip.
Just make a note of that.
Everyone's going to say that.
Jizpip.
Oh, no.
No.
No T-shirts.
You ruined it.
We're going to go to live shows.
People are just going to come up and be like,
ah, it's my favorite Jizpip.
The Jizpip.
Oh, god.
Jizpip live.
And then we're going to have to explain that to our children.
Oh, man.
I've already thought about how many explanations I'm going to have to have for
past episodes.
Daddy, what does Jiz Pepp mean?
One week away from Halloween, obviously we're recording this from the past.
I don't think we dressed up this year for Portland and LA where it was further away
from Halloween, but maybe I wouldn't put it past a couple people
at this table.
But are you guys dressing up or doing anything
for Halloween shit?
I always have an outfit.
What do you got?
What do you got planned?
What are you going to do?
I have cute outfits.
OK, so not a costume.
Are they spooky?
Maybe one might be a little spooky.
Ooh, spooky cute?
I will have spooky nails.
Oh.
OK, so what do you, where are you seen in this outfit?
Like do you go to parties or around the neighborhood
for the treaters?
My general spooky dress, but heightened for a show.
So I have like, you know.
Are you being at the show?
Yeah.
What about Halloween night?
Halloween night?
Are you doing anything, you're dressing in a costume?
I probably will be.
Okay.
I'm gonna text Skid and say happy birthday.
You're not there yet?
Okay.
You're gonna text Skid?
So you're dressing up as someone
that's texting Skid for the day?
Yes.
You're dressing up as a thoughtful friend.
Right, right, right, right front door.
Thoughtful friend, capital T, capital F.
No, but you got a little kid.
Are you dressing up for anything?
I don't think so.
We might, I think, we might theme,
generally theme ourselves with whatever mirror ends up being
and then we go trick or treating,
but I think it's gonna be a low commitment.
Okay.
What about you, Sked?
I know you're a big Halloween guy.
I do love Halloween, but I don't think,
no, I don't think so this year.
No plans.
I don't think, I think I'll be in Tennessee.
You know, in that co-op,
there might be some trick or treaters
that come around your door.
You might need to be prepared with at least a funny wig.
If I were planning to be in town, I probably would be worried about that.
Now the truth comes out. Great time to Rob Skid will be Halloween.
On his birthday.
I leave the door unlocked.
Check out his address right here on this lower third.
You'll be free. Cindy, I can imagine you dress up every day. Every day is Halloween for you.
Look at her with her costume jewelry.
How particularly silly will you be on this Halloween?
Pretty silly.
I have an idea.
And I hate to, I don't know, say something
that might not come true, because it's just an idea right
now.
It's OK.
We're all friends.
We're all friends.
A friend of mine has a Halloween party every year.
And he does a themed thing.
And I help him to decorate, because he knows I do that for
for film and TV and this year he's doing every room is a part of the body so you
walk in it's like the bottom of the house is like the...
Where's the butt?
I know!
I'm such a sixth grader, my first thought was like, I want to go to the boob room! It was like first thought was like, I'm such a sixth grader. Take me to the pot. I want to go to the boob room.
Yeah.
That was like first thought.
It exists.
I'm sure it does.
There's going to be a boob room.
How can you have a body parts display rooms
without a boob room?
Are you inside of the boob?
Or is it full of boobs?
Still figuring it out.
Still figuring it out.
But you enter, it's like ground levels.
This is a room full of boobs.
Full of boobs.
That would be fun though, big boobs.
Sure.
Yeah, the front door.
So the front door is the mouth?
No, I said that.
The front door, they want to be like a toenail.
Like you're going into the feet.
It's gross.
They love having fun.
Do they have like a screaming sound that happens?
Where'd you all go?
Oh, god.
Stop.
I don't know.
Please, no.
But I think for that party, we don't have the details
yet for the decor, but I'm gonna help them.
So I'll dress up for that.
And I think I'm gonna be a Bloody Mary.
Like the religious?
No, like one of my favorite drinks.
You're going as the drink.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're gonna be a Bloody Mary and Adam Echelon?
I think it's gonna be a mix of both,
but I think it's gonna be like, I'm gonna create-
Are you gonna be dressed as the Virgin Mary?
I feel like that's what you're saying.
No!
That's very disrespectful.
You ever played the game Bloody Mary?
Ay!
Sure I have.
What does that mean?
You're not wearing like a cylindrical thing
that makes you look like a drink?
No, it'll be like-
I missed it.
We had a little side thing going on there.
That was amazing.
About Bloody Mary.
He comes, you ever played the game Bloody Mirror?
I said, sure I have.
And his eyes went deadly serious.
Yeah, I saw it was crazy.
And then he said, it's not a game.
So you're just dressing up as a drink?
Yeah, like a red dress, and then I'll make like a head piece.
That's, you know, like a shrimp, olives, like my earrings.
A slice of bacon.
Yeah, something silly.
As you walk through the toe room to the boob, you have a sitcom life.
Like a New York sitcom life, friends, toes, boobs.
Yeah, that's my Halloween.
Fun dressing as a Bloody Mary.
What about you?
You got anything cooking?
No, no.
Not at the moment.
Not with the kids?
Well, it's a weird, I don't know, it's a weird situation.
I'm happy to throw it out there.
Tell me your thoughts.
Yeah.
I live in suburban America, right? And it's very like, I don't know, it's a weird situation. I'm happy to throw it out there, tell me your thoughts. I live in suburban America, right?
And it's very like, you walk your kids around
to all these different houses.
But there's like a path and a trail
and everybody's doing the same thing.
And it's like at 4.30 in the afternoon,
five o'clock in the afternoon.
Everybody in the neighborhood is walking around.
And the last couple years, because we had shows,
I took whatever costume I wore in the show.
So I was like Jon Snow one year, and then I
was Beard from whatchamacallit, Tim Lasso.
Oh, Coach Beard.
Coach Beard.
I was Coach Beard.
And almost no other adults dress up.
Almost none.
They're losers.
So they're all walking around in their regular clothes,
and they see me, and they're like, nice.
And that's like kind of like the most that I get,
but it's just weird cause you're like out in daylight
walking around, nobody else is dressed up.
You kind of feel goofy, but I love dressing up.
Yeah, dressing up is fun.
Yeah, so I kind of feel like I should do it just cause,
but I also think that people are kind of like,
look at this loser.
No, they're the losers.
They're the real losers.
Yeah, they lose out on getting to have fun on Halloween.
Like they're going out anyway trick or treating,
they're not gonna dress up?
Yeah, I mean, some people do, some do,
but a vast majority are just kind of like
trying to get through it.
I was just talking about this with Katelyn.
When I was a kid, if we got invited to a Halloween party,
like the family got invited and there was like,
the kids went and wore our costumes trick or treating
and we ended up at the party. But then parents came and there was like drinks and they had a Halloween party. The family got invited and there was like, the kids went and wore our costumes, took a treat and we ended up at the party.
But then parents came and there was like drinks
and they had a good time.
And about half the parents would dress up
and the other half wouldn't.
And my parents never dressed up.
And I would be like, what are you gonna wear for Halloween?
We're going to a Halloween party.
And they'd be like, we're not gonna do that.
I was just like, well, yeah, what?
That's boring.
It's sad.
Yeah, I'll tell you when I don't like it.
I don't mind walking by down a street
with a bunch of people not dressed up.
I don't like feel embarrassed. What bothers me you when I don't like it. I don't mind walking by down a street with a bunch of people not dressed up. I don't like feel embarrassed.
What bothers me is when I'm like,
because I'm not close friends with these people.
They're like acquaintances.
They're the parents of my kids' friends.
You've only golfed with all of them 17 times,
but you're not close friends.
No, not really.
Have you had them in your home to use your toilet?
I don't know.
We're not that close.
Are you really giving me notes on friendship?
Everyone with a seven block radius.
They're just toilet and golf friends.
Toilet and golf buddies.
It's just weird to be dressed as a full on vampire or something
and just be like, so how's your summer been?
You know, like with a person who's not dressed up
while you're standing out front of a house at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon.
Somebody who's kind of been blazing sunlight
while you're just trying to make small talk
while the kids are doing the fun Halloween stuff.
You know, it's just a little bit odd.
So maybe go.
You feel like a goofball.
Maybe do Halloween light.
Just do like an easy costume that doesn't feel,
like that doesn't make you feel silly.
Yeah, like Coach Beardwood.
Yeah, that was good.
That's a good one, yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah.
Or you could do like one of those little things
you put on your head that had like two stars.
Nothing, you'll dress normal, but you've got like two star those little things you put on your head that have like two stars. There's nothing.
You'll dress normal, but you've got like two star antenna.
That's kind of-
Oh, like the alien little antenna?
Yeah.
Like little springs that say boo or happy Halloween.
You're contributing, but you're not going crazy.
I like to contribute.
I like to say like-
Wear a cape.
Just wear a cape.
What are your kids watching?
It could be anything.
I have a cape.
I can, you can buy it.
You can-
I haven't seen your kids get a cape in so long. I honestly don't think you have a cape.
I do.
I'll wear it.
I can go change right now.
It's a lope in the face.
Whenever you gesture about it,
you gesture to the wall.
I know, cause I have to go through the wall to get the cape.
Literally through the wall to get the cape.
What about you?
I'm going to the giant boob.
I believe it.
I believe it.
And you'll get those neighbors by going, nice.
High fiving.
Yeah, no, I'm kind of like you, similar to like, I feel like I'm taking away from the
kids if I get all dressed up.
Right.
And like if I'm doing my own thing that isn't on theme with them, then it's just weird.
But.
I'll tell you what I like.
Okay, I'm not dumb, okay.
You should finish, I apologize for cutting you off.
I was gonna say, but are you familiar with Trunk or Treat?
Yes.
Okay, so Trunk or Treat's a big deal,
at least out where I'm at.
And it is where I am too.
Yeah, it's like you go and I think this one is associated
with the school. You knock on people's cars.
No, like all the, you sign up to have a car
for trunk or treat and you go to this like farm
and everybody parks and you decorate your trunk
and kids come around to trick or treat at your trunks.
So it's like a separate thing.
I don't know, my kids go trick or treating like nine times.
It's like Halloween night
and then there's all these other things.
But trunk or treat is one of those things where you go
and then you, instead of going from house to house, you house, it's like a tailgate for trick or treating.
Yeah.
Just go from trunk to trunk.
The reason I like that one a little bit better and it's a little more likely to dress up for
is because the one that's by us is at night. That one is definitely at night because you're
all in a confined space. It's like one small area and people play music from the cars and stuff and
it's a good vibe for dressing up.
Yeah. And so Archer and Dash wanted to be Ghostbuster themed.
And so I think I have to dress up as one of the Ghostbusters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
100%.
Or actually, you should go with the Ghost.
Slimer.
You go Slimer.
I thought you meant Ghost or the Ghost area.
He goes Ghost or the Ghost area.
We have a giant.
You want to look like Sheena Easton for the whole evening.
We have a giant eight foot tall stay puff on our lawn and I just bought a five foot
tall slimer.
So I think I can bring the slimer with me.
Oh yeah.
But the stay puff's too big.
But-
Go as Gozer.
I could go as Gozer or one of the demon dogs.
I just feel like I could, it's a lot easier to just buy a Venkman outfit.
And then the adults would be like, nice.
Kids will think it's cool.
I can't believe the words I'm hearing.
With the amount of effort you put into Christmas and traditions of Christmas, you don't want
to go as Gozer, one of your favorite movies, a character from one of your favorite movies.
Peter Venkman is the best character in the movie.
Yes.
One of your sons should go as Venkman.
He doesn't know Venkman, he knows who the ghosts are.
Don't let them watch the movie, there's cursing.
He thinks they say dick.
He thinks they say Venkman.
They say dick.
They do say dick.
They do say dick.
What else do they say?
Do they say anything else?
Not the TV.
Yes, it's true.
This man has no dick.
Ray gets blown by a ghost.
Like there's a lot of stuff.
Yeah, that's a little strange.
That's true actually.
I can't show that to them.
Do they watch the cartoon?
Yeah, I show them the old, the real ghosts.
That's a great cartoon by the way. It's a great cartoon. You know who did the voice of Winston for most of it?
It was Arsenio Hall. Arsenio Hall. Didn't know that at all. Yeah. And Lorenzo Music.
Lorenzo Music did Peter Wegman for like two seasons and then somebody else took over.
And I have to look this up because it's really. And it's funny because Lorenzo Music also did the voice
of Garfield in the cartoon.
Yes.
And then when they made the Garfield movie,
Oh my gosh.
Bill Murray did the voice of the Garfield in the movie.
Yep.
Would you like to know who took over
for the voice of Peter Vangma?
That's why I'm looking at us,
because it's worth...
Seasons three through seven.
So the majority of the time, it was this person.
The bulk of this year.
This is the only reason I looked this up
because I remember it was something important.
I was expecting an array of people
and who it was blew my mind.
Who is it?
Dave Coulier.
That's right.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah, so Dave Coulier.
Should go with Dave Coulier.
That'd be a real deep cut.
If I just go as Dave Coulier from Out of Control.
Maurice LaMarche was in it too.
What I was going to say real fast is rather than walk, yeah, I'm sorry, I apologize.
Rather than walking around in a costume, I enjoy that, but it wouldn't be my favorite
thing.
My favorite thing to do in these situations is to have a house that's in the middle of
all of this. My house is not and so like people don't really walk by my block
for various reasons but like I don't know why. I'm on like a 35 mile an hour street.
I'm on a website. I wasn't gonna go there. I will. I don't know why they don't walk by anymore. Why do they walk by my house?
I got added to this website.
I just like the idea that you're so innocent.
I don't know why they don't walk by anymore.
What happened?
How can you be such a bad tradition?
They don't come to my house for candy anymore.
What happened? What happened?
I just tend to envy the people not costumed that are just
having a party in their driveway with a fire pit, a cooler,
a beer, and playing music.
And 15 adults are over there.
Oh, yeah.
And they're just all hanging out.
And as the kids go up, they're like, oh, I love
your Ghostbusters costume. It's just fun. That's what I miss.
I like that Halloween vibe. Those birthday parties that I used to have,
like we did one at the bar by my old apartment. Yeah. And McD came and he brought his, it's like
homemade, was it homemade? Homemade for Loco. Homemade for Loco.
Oh my gosh. That was a good night.
You mean, yeah. I thought I was going to die.
Whatever into it,
and then a bunch of jolly ranchers.
It was maybe the most hungover I've ever been,
but that was an incredible night.
That was so fun.
We played Pathfinder for seven hours that morning.
Yeah.
And then I got too drunk to even come to your party.
Yeah.
I remember being there at that bar for that party
and talking to your friend Tom.
Yeah.
And his wife at the time.
And I remember nodding as they were talking and thinking,
I'm gonna die tonight.
I got a very clear memory.
My heart was going, shun, kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh.
And I'm like, excuse me bartender,
can I have another water, please?
Can I have another water?
Because I had had a pint of homemade four-loaf.
Yeah, it was a very bad idea, but it was delicious.
It was the Shannon Pot.
That was the bar. It was the Shannon Pot. That was the bar.
I loved that bar.
Great bar.
Great bar.
You had a few birthdays there.
I did.
When it changed locations too, I did some at one and some at the other.
Well, my wife is, when we first moved into the house, somebody across the block was having
one of these parties.
It was like, it was the October after COVID started.
So a lot of people were like, ah, we can hang out outside.
And they were having this party and we were like,
we wanna be the cool kids.
So now we're gonna do that this year.
Oh, fun.
That's cool.
Because Sam knows everybody in the neighborhood
and I'm like, be grudgingly.
That's fine.
All right, they can come over.
That's fine.
Use my toilet.
Tell them to stay off my lot.
Don't use my toilet.
I mean, a house party makes sense.
Don't use my toilet.
Don't read my books.
But I don't have children.
Don't rub your genitals on my books.
What are you?
Exploits me.
That's what?
He's very concerned about people putting their genitals.
I was gonna say, like, house party sounds fun.
I don't live in the suburbs and have kids.
I'm a rural.
Yes.
But I usually like to do,
I usually end up at a dance party.
Yeah.
Where?
That's fun.
Anywhere.
Anywhere.
I just get invited to one.
What does that mean?
Yeah, like. As in, I wait until I get invited somewhere,
and it's usually somewhere where there's lasers
and I can dance.
So somewhere in the country, where you're out in the country.
It's been in the city.
Someone's like, dance party.
It's been out where I live now.
Yeah.
You just like, you get a text, dance party tonight.
Sort of.
I feel like you're making this up.
Do you remember when we were in LA last year?
I was a festival girlie, I liked to dance.
And we went out to that bar, Mary Lou was there, Paul was there, Joseph was there.
You were there.
Yes.
Oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there was a dance floor, but there was no DJ.
It was General Lee's.
General Lee's, it was the cool, like, all of that.
Mary Lou took us.
That was awesome.
I went up to the bar to get a drink,
and I turn around, and Kate has gone solo
under this completely empty dance floor.
Yep.
And just started a dance party.
Started breaking it down.
Wow.
And we all started dancing.
I love house music.
We all danced.
They had those cool paper lanterns.
I took you there.
I recommended that place.
I was not.
That's right.
I was not there.
I thought it was Mary Lou.
Nope.
I was not at that party.
Yes you were.
Sounds like a good time, nope.
Oh no, you weren't.
You didn't come?
Man, you missed out.
He does his own thing.
You missed out on a really fun dance party.
That was a very fun.
That was the second location though.
Dancing is a silly activity for children.
I was after the brewery. You weren't there? No. I vividly remember you being for children. I was after the brewery.
You weren't there?
No.
Basically I remember you being there,
but maybe that was the brewery.
I still won't be there after this quick break.
Wow.
This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.
One of the most common pieces of life advice
that people give and get is, just be yourself.
Just be yourself.
And that's often easier said than done.
It's hard to know who you are all the time and what you should be and when and what parts
of yourself you should show and shouldn't.
October is the season for wearing masks and costumes, but some of us feel like we wear
a mask and hide more often than we want to at work and social settings
and around our family.
But therapy can help you learn
to accept all parts of yourself.
So you can take off the mask
because masks should be for Halloween fun,
not for our emotions.
That's something that's my own therapy experience
has helped me with is kind of differentiating,
helping me discover to identify when I am wearing a mask
and when I don't need to and what's behind it.
If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.
It's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible and suited to your schedule.

Have you reviewed this show on your podcast app of choice?
I'm sorry, I'm yelling.
But I just would really like some nice review.
Only good ones. Only if it's nice and good. Keep your bad thoughts to
yourself. Nobody needs that. Five stars, something nice. How about the algorithm?
I think it's possible. I don't want to get too ahead of myself, I think it's possible we might have five consecutive minutes
without fighting something ahead of us here.
Difficult to picture.
I don't know, unless Barnes, now there was a, if memory serves,
we wrap with a fleeing subject of violence here.
I didn't know if...
Sorry.
Are you reading reviews now? I went to look, because you said that, I was like, subject of violence here. I didn't know if... Sorry. Oh no.
Are you reading reviews now?
I went to look, cause you said that,
I was like, who's blowing us up on Apple Podcasts?
Why would you read them?
I opened up, and there are two,
I'm not only gonna read the titles of the reviews.
One is Five Stars, Unbelievably Good.
Oh, awesome.
What's their name?
Shout them out.
That must be a new one.
Hutchive.
Hey, thanks Hutchive.
Thanks Hutchive.
Hutchive. That was me. That was you That must be a new one. Hutchive. Hey, thanks Hutchive. Thanks Hutchive.
That was me.
That was you.
I made a new email.
No.
The second one is.
He's making the reviews.
I'm Hutchive.
And the second one is, I don't hate it, period.
How many stars?
I'll take it.
Three stars.
Wow, okay.
That's the rating for I don't hate it.
Just don't rate anything.
You're gonna.
I know why.
You know how these systems and algorithms work?
Only give you five stars.
No, I appreciate their honesty.
But God, you can be honest in different venues.
The rating matches non-permanent venues.
Right.
Let it not be said that they aren't consistent.
At least they're not like, one star couldn't
get it to work on my phone.
And it's like, fuck off.
Yeah, that is really irritating.
Podcast reviews fall into two categories.
One, oh, I understand this could help the creator.
And two, they said something mean
about my politician of choice.
That's it.
Those are the only two options for a podcast.
The technical ones are really good.
I don't need it.
You know what?
I like the middling one.
At least you're honest.
That's fine.
I don't.
At least you fuck up our rating.
At least you fuck up our rating. At least you fuck up our rating.
Stop watching.
We hate you.
Go find another show, beardo.
Go find another show.
Go find a show you like.
Don't watch us.
If you just don't hate us, that person
watches every episode.
Who could see content that they don't hate?
There's so much out there.
Don't limit yourself.
Maybe it's like me.
If I'm reading a book that I don't like,
I have to finish it.
Cause I-
Do you write the author?
No.
No, but I'll write on good reads.
I'll be like-
I finished this.
Good read, but I helped me.
That's a help, you're right.
Didn't hate it.
You get transported to this observatory
in the middle of nowhere.
You think it's Skywatch and you think
that because there is a man dressed in furs standing atop a dais with this
massive telescope is poking out of the domed ceiling of this observatory and he
tells you he is Sakawatche. He explains to you very quickly because the doors
are about to be broken down by something.
He's like, I saw them.
They look like they were bad news.
I didn't get a good look at them, but they're coming.
I ran in here.
I barred the door.
I need your help.
The doors bust open.
Four hobgoblin raiders come rushing in.
They're using these formation tactics to boost their defense.
Barnes and Asta close on them. Asta makes a couple of tactical blunders and ends
up going down, dying. Ramius doing the best he can without any healing magic to
try and treat the field with some battle medicine. Keeps everyone alive while
Barnes is bippin and boppin with the
double Barnes's to try and take these guys out. You take three of them out the
final Raider on its turn rushes out the door. I'm gonna stay in initiative here to
see what you all want to do. You have options, and I want to leave it up to the individual. So he is going to, you know, essentially
triple move, I'm gonna even take him off the map. But you can
still, anyone who's at the door, so I'd say everyone except,
even Buggles can see him. Maybe Sakawatch is struggling from way
there in the back. And Hubert doesn't know what the hell is
going on.
But you can still see him kind of running down a street. There are buildings outside and streets you see like maybe a canal running through the town.
Is it like it's so it is like wintry.
It's the is it like snowing or anything or snow on the ground.
No snow on the ground. It's nighttime.
It's cold. Cold air is rushing through.
Cool.
You can just see the streets, but there's
this very eerie kind of tunnel vision that's happening to all
of you trying to trace this hobgoblin as it runs out.
Obviously, there are no street lights,
so it's just the stars in the sky.
But as the hobgoblin is running. There's something about the buildings
That seem to be like out of place every time you look at them
There's like almost a slight movement to the buildings or that they're like
There's something strange going on. I think we're on water. Can't quite get a grip
Huh, I think we're floating. I think we're in a floating city on ice caps. I will tell you it is
the top around five staying initiative already here. City on ice caps. We know
it's funny you mentioned that. Do we? Pretty sure. We know Bervoy is not on ice
cap, right? It's floating. Asta is asleep.
That's right. Asta is unconscious. What I was going to say is I'm fascinated at this.
This is kind of this is a bit meta, but I'm fascinated at this concept of a
in this time with this technology observatory
because observatories are so meticulous about their positioning and their ability to move.
Like they need to be able to rotate as the entire building has to be able to rotate.
So I'm curious if this thing is like in some sort of perpetual motion with the movement of Galerion.
Oh, you think the observatory.
Observatories move, like telescopes move constantly
at an imperceptible rate, but if you look away one minute
and then look back, you would see almost like the sun
moving in the sky.
That sounds way better than what I said.
But I mean, it also is like, it's a bit meta.
I'm not sure if it's happening here.
One more fun fact that I found,
there's an observatory right near my house.
The telescope has some kind of ridiculous, I want to say it's like 25 feet deep in the
earth, poured concrete foundation of the telescope.
So that it doesn't move.
Separate from the building that goes straight down into the earth. Yes. So that like a passing car does not move that lens even a millimeter because at the
distances you're looking, that would completely blur an image.
So it has to be completely still.
Wow.
A neat fun fact.
That's very interesting.
So I was like, how do they have this kind of technology here?
Right?
Like, is it magic that helps those kinds of things to happen?
We do.
I mean, calling back to this beautiful map and maybe we'll discover what it is
But Kate pointed out there is like that
power core solar
Model looking thing and maybe that like powers the telescope or something. Yeah, maybe got like big levers on it interesting
Yeah, I'm not sure I
Don't know what you I think it's Stay... Well, let's go to an initiative order.
Stay in an initiative order here.
You tell me what you want to do.
You can pursue.
You can also talk to Sakawachi,
but this is all happening very quickly
as long as you're in an initiative order.
It's time around five
and it's Brother Ramius' turn.
Ramius is going to look down the hallway
as this guy runs,
and he is just going to...
...
And he's just going to let him go and thank the
heavens that this guy ran off and he's just going to kind of like stumble over
and fall down next to Asta and start to treat wounds now that takes 10 minutes
so let's see what everybody else does in their initiative.
Yeah.
All right. It is Buggles' turn.
So Buggles, I think if the Ku'uulakan were in charge, I think he probably just going to run up to Brother Ramius and Asta and Zephyr and
just try it out of just out of concern. And then that's it.
Okay, I think she's stable. Buggles. I think she's stable for the moment, but I need to work on her
a bit before I can get it back up.
It'd be Zephyr's turn.
How far away is he?
I'd say, where are you?
Okay, that's fair.
100 feet away as the crow flies.
She takes out her longbow.
Yes, she does!
And she shoots at it.
Manastic archer stance.
It doesn't matter because first half of the set,
yeah, range increment and stuff.
I'm just gonna try two regular shots.
15.
This is so fun.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
You got this.
18. Just misses this. 18.
Just misses.
Just misses.
Phew.
Phew.
Phew.
Art.
Do I think I could pursue him?
Sure.
Because I think I could keep pace with him.
Because if I can keep pace with him,
I could feasibly mirror myself ahead of him at some point.
But if I think this guy can outrun me,
it just doesn't seem strategically advisable.
You know, a double move gets you within range of him.
A triple move gets you right on top of him.
But you're going out into the streets and it's dark.
But you certainly could.
Here's what going through Barnes' head.
Yeah.
We've been beaten, we're bedraggled, we're on the ropes.
We could use a minute to get together.
I think it's a blessing that this guy ran away.
Yes.
It was just like, this moment of respite would be like,
I don't think we would press our luck
by trying to engage this guy.
Well, my one concern is if this guy,
if he's gonna run, great.
We don't know anything about who he is or what's going on.
But if he's a raider, or who he is or what's going on.
But if he's a raider, or who he is or what's going on.
But if he's a raider, or who he is or what's going on.
But if he's a raider, or who he is or what's going on.
I respect that 100%, but we can't assume either way.
I think it really is 50-50.
I don't think there's any evidence
that he would bring people back.
There's no evidence that he wouldn't either.
So I think it's really your call.
If you wanna chase him and at least see out on the street,
I don't think there's any negative to that.
I'm gonna give chase for at least a little bit
So I will still I will sprint on after this get a like of a view a better view
Maybe some answer to what this strange feeling as we see when we look at the are you?
Double moving to stay within range or triple moving to get on his tail. I gotta get on his tail
I don't buy my I threw my my shocker and I don't want to spend the time to pick up a short bow
Okay Threw my my shock room and I don't want to spend the time to pick up a short bow Okay
I'm gonna move you to a different map then and and really let you see
See what's up? I guess a different map. That's that's not good another encounter man
I I tell if it's cold if it's cold. It's fine
All right, so oh is it pure darkness?
Oh my gosh.
It's pretty dark out there.
Can anybody see that besides Barnes?
I can see.
All I see is Barnes.
All I see is nothing.
Okay.
I see Barnes in a swirly.
That's what I see.
Oh, I see, I see Barnes.
It's pretty dark, but you are on this street.
Oh, there's sounds out here.
And there's several side streets coming off of it.
You triple move right up to it. And I'll say, you won't get away my friend. You
won't get away my friend. Okay we go back to the observatory. Fascinating. Alright I
gotta change. And it is. It's unacceptable. Oster's turn. You didn't heal her, correct? You just not.
I began to treat wounds, yeah.
So no, I did not heal her.
I mean, I can't.
Wait, what, why?
It's 10 minutes.
Is that a spell?
Oh, cause you don't.
I don't have any spells.
You have continual recovery.
Still takes 10 minutes.
Sorry, that's with treat wounds,
which is a 10 minute activity.
Oh, I thought for some reason it also reduces the time.
It reduces the time you have to wait
until I can do it again
Got you. Okay, so I'm just laying there. Maybe I'm in and out of consciousness
You know as you make progress and she just is like, you know, I would say in this round you are completely unconscious
Oh, okay just began a 10 minute process
You are stable work though. Cuz like we're not in combat anymore. We didn't chase after the thing. Like how would that work?
Would you be making?
No, no, she's stable.
I was already stabilized.
I cast stabilize on her.
So basically I gave up my actions.
Yeah, copy.
Now if this turns into something,
I could just stop next round and start running.
Yeah, we're locked in now for 10 minutes together
until you stop.
Yep.
Okay.
It would be this Raider's turn. He sees Barnes running right up on him. Let me go back to
that map. It's kind of fun. All right. So he sees Barnes and he looks around and Moves
25 feet to the south now. I'm trying to think I think
He still has a short bow on his back
So he will oh
man, he will draw the short bow and then move another like
20 feet onto like this bridge that's
Going over a canal and it's just kind of like standing there
This is professional kiting yeah, and
Now it is brother Ramias's turn brotherius, Barnes has ran out into the night.
Barnes!
See, he's shifting. What are you doing?
Buildings.
You are kneeling there next to Asta.
All right, I'll stop doing the treat wounds.
Can I do a...
Ugh!
She bleeds out.
You've just made your incision.
First incision, yeah.
I'm starting to make an incision.
I just let it run.
Brother Ramius, you... He looks back andision, yeah. I'm starting to make a decision. I just let it run. I'd say, you, you-
He looks back at Buggles.
She'll be fine.
You stay with Asta, I'll go get Barnes.
She needs your help.
Careful, we don't know who's out there.
Who's out there?
He turns back to, you know, this guy.
I don't wanna out there.
Who's out there?
It's just weird.
I guess I wasn't expecting a city either.
Cause usually with raiders, you're talking about- The wilderness. The wilderness. I was assuming this't expecting a city either because usually with Raiders you're talking about the wilderness the wilderness
I was assuming this observatory is on a mountain peak somewhere
But maybe this goes back to what Matt I think it was Matthew who thought maybe the city is abandoned like maybe I got
Overrun, but does he see maybe the city is Los Angeles or Oakland you turn Las Vegas Sackawatcha. What do you say?
First thing I'm gonna do as a single action
is a search role.
Basically, I'm gonna like look out.
He's kneeling down next to Zephyr, or Asta.
He's gonna look out those doors
and see if he can identify what these buildings are,
what's happening.
I wanna see if there's any lights coming out
of the buildings, if the buildings are physically moving,
if they're morphing before his very eyes, all that kind of stuff.
All right, I'll take that role, but I really should have
wretched. That is a no, like, yeah, that's right. 20. Okay,
2020. The only light that you can see outside is the light of
the moon. So it is very dark. In fact, Barnes is you can barely
see Barnes and you can barely see Barnes,
and you can't see the hobgoblin.
So the buildings are just sort of like silhouettes.
The buildings are all dark.
There are no lights on in any of the buildings.
And there's this, what you do see from the moonlight,
there is a disorienting feeling to what you see.
It's like, tunnel vision is the way I can best describe it.
Like something just, it's like vertigo-ish-y. Vertigo ish um I don't know if this is me where did these Raiders
come from what's going on out there something something happened the people
of skywatch have abandoned the city the Raiders they moved in I saw others I
know there are more it is it is not safe out there I'm getting very yeah tell him
to come back okay I'll get out yell out. Chitagatza vibes from, uh,
from what?
Subtle knife, these dark materials.
There's strange, there's, there's,
there's strange magic at work out there.
It makes navigating the streets all but impossible.
It's very easy to get lost.
I was very lucky to find this building.
I lost my companions.
Uh, I don't know what to do
because the door is broken down,
but I know there's more of them out there.
I just don't know where they are and it's easy to get lost.
Your friend might not be able to find his way back.
Get Bones.
Tell him to come back.
Okay.
Okay.
He's gonna retch.
Throws up Oliver Haas.
Throws up Oliver Haas.
Oh, I think I got it, dude.
Open wounds.
That is a 23 on the fortitude.
Barfing next to you.
A 23 on the fortitude, say.
I go into septic shock.
Bones smells the scent of Brother Amos' vomit on the wind.
You're done with the second one.
Second done, nice.
Like a floating cartoon to a pie.
And that's his turn.
I figured one action to do the talking, one action seek, one action retch.
Alright, so now it is Buggle's turn.
You see the same thing, although your dark vision gives you a little deeper perception
out there.
You can see the raider standing on the edge of this bridge, lit only by the moon, holding
a bow drawn on Barnes who seems to be right near an intersection.
Hearing this, Buggles pulls himself away from his comrades and like runs on his little feet
padding out to the door and just leans out.
It's like, it's BODZ!
BODZ COME BACK IT'S NOT SAFE!
And he's just like yelling and waving to try to get him to come back.
That's somewhat a point of reference for him to come back.
Okay.
Like the beacon, the psychic beacon of the emperor.
The beacons are lit!
The beacons are lit.
Okay.
So just yell to Barnes in the night, come back, come back.
Zephyr.
Um, she does pretty much the same thing.
She runs out to the entrance, like the opening of where we are, with her bow out,
yelling the same thing like, like Barnes you got to come back
You can get lost out there
Disorienting seem to be talking very calmly
Joe hates hates more than anything else in the world. Why do you simulate it yelling?
Don't yell. Yeah, we'll just get a little away from the mic
Yes, you you gotta come back!
I felt that.
It's all tipsy-turvy out there. I'll cover you. I'm tired.
I'm tired.
See, that was great.
Meryl Streep, ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen, Meryl Streep.
Meryl Streep.
And the Oscar goes to you.
That end was quite true.
A couple episodes ago, I came out with a plaque.
We need another plaque.
That was great.
We have a second plaque.
Where is that guy?
She comes out through the hallway,
she screams,
tell her lungs we're all going to die.
Barnes, you're going to kill us all.
Keep an eye out as you're coming back.
In case something tries to chase you,
she's got her bow out.
Okay. All right. Well now it's Barnes's turn. So Barnes it really is
It's your call here. You've pursued you can now get to this guy in two and take an attack
Let me go back to the map for you. Just so you can see what up, right? Because you've got actually with your mirror image you could you can get to this guy in two
You are
45 the man 45 feet away. You're so close. Just keep going
Do whatever you want?
Have some fun
There's wrong with this fucked up world around you don't think about that. Just live your life
Aren't you gonna close on the guy and take a strike?
That I don't know. Barnes is gonna close on the guy and take a strike. Oh my god.
At that moment.
Stop, stop it.
Okay.
You arrogant bastard.
As you get, his magic in between is I can't hear you.
As you get right up next to him,
you see another one right next to, waiting around the corner.
No, no, no.
And you see another one.
No, no.
Right next to hiding around that corner as well.
However, the one that is closest to you looks much different.
Whoa.
Oh, no.
Give me a description of what you see there, Matthew.
Can I see it again?
Oh, sure.
I see a blue figure with a very long, long sword and a bow.
He's got maybe drowish.
He's got some red eyes and some pointy ears
and some tattoos on his skull.
Did you say he?
I did say he, but.
Kinda looks like boobs.
It could, those look like boobs.
That looks like the boob room to me.
That's what I'm dressing up as.
Wait, are you in the boob room?
I haven't spent as much time searching
for the boob room as the other guys.
This guy's never been in the boob room and it shows it shows
it shows
it shows
yikes
she has a mace
yikes
she has no less than 11 weapons
yeah what the hell
there's a flail, a mace
this looks like the leader of the hobgoblins
a giant spear or a short sword?
Three daggers.
Arrows, a bow.
Yes.
A great sword.
A warning sword?
A hatchet on her calf.
A flail.
A female.
And a curved, huge sword.
You should kiss her.
I mean, like everybody's laughing.
Sounds like a romanceable option.
I mean, I think that that's,
This is bad.
It's very bad. This is very bad. We're laughing because we are scared. This is campaign ending.
Campaign ending? What? That was a crazy decision. It was crazy.
I was hoping I could run him down. Well, I mean, I think you should stay out there.
Not lead her back to us. Zephyr, ball the doors.
We've lost bonds. I mean there's so much going, bar the doors. We've lost Bonds.
I mean, there's so much going on here.
We need to make a quick break.
Oh no.
Oh boy.
I need a moment.
That was a long break.
That reminded me of the old days, That was a long break.
That reminded me of the old days when during the Jade region days when you'd be like, I
need a minute.
You'd have to go into another room with a bunch of maps and books and markers and just
like do something you weren't expecting.
Right.
And then like come back out.
I'll be strategizing.
Yeah.
I'll be like, what do you think he's doing?
I could go to the bedroom with the cats and just.
Yeah.
Oh yeah. I do remember that. Yeah. Because I'm not one to be like, you know you think he's doing? I could go to the bedroom with the cats and just. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I do remember that.
Yeah, because I'm not one to be like, you know what?
I didn't prep that.
Go someplace else.
I'd be like, all right.
Just give me a second.
Now, this, I did prep.
But there's just this complication
when you split the party across maps and initiatives.
So what I wanted to do was unify the initiatives
for various reasons.
And also, I just kind of wanted to wrap my head around what's
happening. But the sort of want to wrap my head around what's happening.
But the sort of caveat to this or the,
maybe the negative to me is it gave you more time to think.
And I saw you do kabitzing and whatnot.
So let's pick up with you.
You moved-
They were chatty.
Yeah, very chatty.
You moved two actions, right?
Well, I have five more feet of my second action.
Which actually, but that brings up a question.
Okay. They were whispering. They were whispering. They were passing notes. Well, I have five more feet of my second action. Which actually, but that brings up a question.
They were whispering.
They were passing notes.
Okay, so right now I am standing past the kind of hobgoblin question mark blue skull tattoo lady.
Boss. I would argue that I, so I can see her
from before I came across the front of the buildings.
So I move myself back two squares.
What's your, what do you wanna do?
I wanna say, well, if I saw her, I would stop.
Here's what I think.
I think you should roll a perception
against your stealth TC.
Oh.
And if you succeed, I'll let you go
in any one of those three spaces.
I mean, my other thing is like, when I then step out next to her,
I would definitely see her.
You would think, but you were very focused on this dude.
So you pass. I'll let you be in the first space right by the corner
of the building, the space you are now.
Or you just ran headlong at this Hobgoblin.
Perception check against the stealth.
OK, Natty 16 for totallin. All right, perception check. Against the stealth. Okay, Nati's 16.
For total.
23.
You saw her.
Okay, all right, I am going to be in the square next to her,
but not next to the guy I was chasing and the other one around the corner.
I'm not going to worry about him right now.
Barnes realizes he's in a sticky wicket.
So-
I'm going to give you something here.
Ooh.
And you decide if it changes what you wanna do or not.
I believe Buggles and Zephyr
just had verbal actions on their turn.
So you guys, in my mind, you could be considered delayed.
Oh, okay.
We both moved.
Well, yeah, we moved.
Yeah, we ran to the opening
Yeah, I have a question you were not a part of this is your dad
It's Sakawatche attending to Asta at all while she is in the observatory with him
Are they having like a moment a little like Sleeping Beauty get off his jock for two seconds?
I just she
his jock for two seconds. I'm just... Brother Ramius is right there. You're literally not. You ran away.
No, I think he's just on this map. I never moved. I think he's just on this map for the initiative tracker.
Oh, for the initiative tracker. I saw you with Buggles and Zephyr. I got confused.
Yes, I see the confusion. I thought you left me alone. You are unconscious.
And in Ramius's arms. In Ramius's arms. Yes. He had time.
As he throws up into my room.
My final retch goes into her mouth.
Yeah.
Oh.
I finally got the last of that tickle out.
All right, so they are not delayed.
We're in full on a...
There's so much happening.
Okay, next question.
This waterway here,
how deep does it look? Is the water moving?
The one with the Kraken in it? I mean, that one right there.
It doesn't look too deep.
This canal.
You're going to jump in the water?
Yeah.
Okay.
You're never going to find your way back.
My second question.
It can't move the Kraken though, can it?
I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing.
But being lost to survive might be my only option.
Cause here's my thing, if I try to spend my next action
to get away.
Yeah, you just leave them back to us.
A, leave them back to you and B, they can run me down.
So. This is, I think,
one of the more harrowing moments in Glass Cannon history.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, just Barnes is so far away from you,
beaten a little bit, surrounded by three enemies.
Yeah, like, okay, now here's my last question.
The buildings around us, how tall are they?
Are there any ledges anywhere?
The buildings range from 20 feet tall
to maybe 50 feet tall.
Really?
Yeah, they're-
You're sure?
Every single building is two stories tall like at least
Well at least the ones around here
This is like a full-on city and you remember a second what you said the city's abandoned
You don't know the full story yet, but like all the lights are off nobody's home, but these Raiders have moved in
All right, I see look one thing up
Miss you okay One thing up. I'm gonna miss you. Okay.
Shh.
I'm gonna miss this campaign.
I wonder what your new character is gonna be.
You guys are the worst.
I really like book two, it's a shame.
Are there any, so if the buildings are true stories tall,
that stands to reason there might be a window sill.
About 10, 12 feet up on the building.
You're going like scapulocasm.
I wanna mirror myself onto the top of the window sill.
Oh.
Oh. Oh, so you wanted to know if there was like a 10 foot high
building.
Yeah, or like, it's my balcony.
All right, yeah, no, this is really cool.
Sure, you can hop onto a little widow's walk
right on this alleyway.
Well, except it doesn't solve my other problem.
She said the other barns remains.
And also-
Can't you flip it or is that only on your next turn?
Or-
Can't you only mirror next to the person?
15 feet and away from me.
Oh.
The other barns remain sounds like a sad biography.
The other barns remain.
The other barns remain.
That's gonna be your eulogy.
All right, I'm gonna go with my-
That's gonna be your epitaph.
As told to, Brother Rabius.
I'm gonna go with my original plan.
Okay.
Which is I'm going to glint the mirror.
Into the moonlight.
Another Barnes will appear in this square
in midair above the water.
In midair, mind you.
Okay.
So that Barnes immediately begins to fall,
which means that the original Barnes disappears.
All right, I'm gonna do a quick Barnes switcheroo here.
I'm gonna try to grab the ledge of the ledge.
And hold on. But first, if this guy
have an edge,
this queen,
what were you going with this?
If this queen has an AOA, if this queen has an AOA,
she can take it because that has the manipulator.
Awesome.
Game changer.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Oh, he's getting so close to the screen.
I thought you wanted to just jump in the water.
No.
Well, if I jump in the water, they all get AOOs.
Or the two of them do.
No, no, I'm saying, like, I thought you wanted to glint
and then fall in the water.
Well, I do, but if I'd rather not, he's gonna get swept away.
If she does, he would get swept away, but she does not use it.
Okay.
Alright, so now I've dropped myself, like, just above, in the air, just above where the edge of the bridge would be, and I want to grab the edge.
Alright, I've gotta set the DC here. My gut says 15.
Okay. Reflex save.
I think that's fair. Yeah.
Yeah, I could go 17. What do you think? Too high? Too low?
Or is it athletics? No, I don't know why he wants to grab it.
They're just going to all come up and hack you to pieces to death if you succeed at this.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Right? Am I crazy? They're going to walk
right up and cut your hands off. All right, I fall in the water.
Barnes falls. I mean, we're gonna walk right up and cut your hands off. I fall in the water. Barnes falls.
We're gonna lose Barnes, maybe for some time.
You might survive.
I might survive and find my way back eventually.
It's just like, it's counting on being Rasputin.
Yeah, right?
It's just gonna fall into a Russian river.
Still alive.
And be alive.
It's Bush and Sundance.
Poison gets shot, falls into a river.
It's Bush and Sundance in get shot at you all right now. It's Bush and Sundance. Yeah an abandoned
Yes subarctic city nobody believed in him. I like it
Barnes Falls into the water
Would be Austin's turn and she's there with Ramias you're still working. Yeah, okay, so she's
Just slowly getting more health as he works on her. Okay.
What?
What?
What?
Shaka gunka game changer.
Wapa boop badi.
What?
Just had an idea.
What?
Hold on to it, because it is the original Raider's turn.
Oh my god.
Standing next to the bridge.
Is the water moving? Like do I get, would I get swept away by it?
It's very calm.
Oh, funny.
That's so embarrassing.
That's freezing cold.
That's so embarrassing.
Freezing cold.
I don't know why.
You were so afraid.
Freezing cold.
That's amazing.
I was afraid, no, I wanna be swept away.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I'm like
I just assumed it would be like like an aqueduct really go be
I mean
I'm gonna fire the short bow into the water. Oh my god. Okay. Let me make sure let me check my vision
I have the rules. I have underwater. I wonder if yeah, it's like you're underwater
My see you just jumped in there's no reason to think that you are just like, like up
right now.
Is it that's interesting.
Is it standable?
Is the water standable?
No, the canal is you're you have to wade water.
You're waiting.
But I don't like it's not like water.
Good.
I'm treading.
I'm treading water.
Yeah.
I don't want to get in the weeds with this,
but I'm mildly curious as to how this works.
I don't know how long it would take us, but like in one E, like I don't know what the
rules are in two E. In one E, it was like if you were submerged underwater, you had
greater cover.
Well, here's aquatic combat in two E. Okay.
Let me make sure I'm actually looking.
Now that would pretty much assume two combatants were fighting each other under water, but.
Alright, aquatic combat remastered.
You're off guard unless you have a swim speed, you do not.
So you're off guard.
Yep.
You gain resistance five to acid and fire.
Oh nice.
Very fun.
You take a minus two circumstance penalty to melee slashing or bludgeoning attacks that
pass through water.
Arrow would be piercing.
Oh that's good.
Ranged attacks that deal bludgeoning or slashing damage
automatically miss if the attacker or target is underwater.
Pierce, which is what we're talking,
ranged attacks made by an underwater creature
or against an underwater target
have their range increments halved.
Not really relevant here.
No. That's the last line.
Go all the way to the last line.
Right.
You can't cast fire spells.
Okay. At the GM's discretion, some ground-based actions might not work underwater or while floating.
When one group is in the water and another is outside of it, note that the aquatic combat rules for attacks apply
Where do you see this?
Under aquatic combat in the GM core.
Apply when either party is in the water.
You might decide, Troy LaValley,
that a character in the water is concealed
against someone outside of it due to distortion
and vice versa.
Okay, I'll give you concealed.
So DC five flat check.
But since it's an arrow,
it does not penalize by going into the water.
And the range, I'm not worried about the range. He's got range on top of him. So flat check but since it's an arrow it does not penalize by going right the water. And the range I'm not worried about the range he's got range. So flat
check. DC five flat. DC five flat. I'll roll the flat check. Natural 20. Let's take away the
natural 20 now. Too soon. Natural four. Holy shit dude! She had court for the win! Wow. Wow. Wow.
All right, so second attack with a lower base attack.
I roll a flat check again.
All right, so that's a 15, made it,
but now can be a very hard.
But he's off guard.
Misses with a 10.
Yes.
Yes.
Two arrows, we see them streaming through
in the moonlight into the water.
Are you underwater, like holding holding your breath, or...?
I assume he's 15 feet deep.
I think you just went down. You're gonna come back up on your turn.
Alright, so with his final action,
he's like, I can't see him, I can't see him!
and slides up towards the woman.
Oh my god.
We're gonna call this round two in the new game that we're playing right now now it will be a
New Raider 2's turn here new Raider 2 is
going to
Move right where that other one was and do the same thing
God, I'm gonna throw up, but it feels like a movie it does you're in the fucking dark right movies
You just write that barn survives right, but this ain't a movie no fletcher
15 all right high as bad
13 to hit yes
Nattie three was that two three four all right, so it's like Indy's swimming away from the yes
Exactly flat checks are...
Strap the blood, Jacques!
I love flat checks.
Concealment is so awesome.
Flat check.
Alright, flat check again.
When you have...
Final attack.
Five on the money.
Ugh.
And then with a low bab...
Thought that was a natural 20.
It wasn't. Total 13.
Miss.
Man!
Wow!
I thought par!
Wow!
Wow!
Alright, it is... Miss. Oh man. Wow, Bard. Wow.
All right, it is...
Brother Ramious' turn.
Okay.
What was your big brain moment? You were having...
Big brain moment, I kind of put it in check a little bit
because I'm like, he doesn't know
that any of this is happening.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So...
I mean, if you were looking, you saw Barnes run into something.
Alright, fine. I'm just gonna say he knows that Barnes ran away.
I don't think you can see that far.
Double into the air and fall into one.
Not that he can know all.
No, no, he wasn't watching you though. He's working on Asta.
That's not true. I looked up...
He was shouting.
I was looking outside. I spent the whole turn looking outside and asking him what's up.
Oh yeah, you did do that.
And then communicating it to you, you know, saying like, go get him. But I see that like, it's this
isn't going well. In that Barnes ran, you guys are all still looking in that direction.
And Buggles can see that Barnes is surrounded and jumped in the water with his starfish.
All right, he's gonna to say, damn it, Bones.
See if Sokka-Watchee can help me.
Sokka-Watchee might know.
I'm sure he can hear the sounds of combat.
So what he's going to do is he's, she's safe with me.
She's safe with me.
Does Sokka-Watchee actually know treat wounds?
You have to tell me.
He doesn't have to tell you.
Well, you are stable.
Stable.
Yeah, but I feel like we might need you.
All right, I'm just going to take take like 10 minutes even if you did.
I'll do my best to keep her safe.
Do you have a potion on your belt?
No, I drank the one potion, or two potions that we got from Sakawatchi.
Here's one, oh shit!
God damn it.
Such a clumsy foot.
It fell on the vomit.
Clumsy foot.
It fell.
I slipped on the vomit.
I'm checking if I have another one on my loot. Wumsy foot. It fell. I slipped on the vomit.
Check if I have another one on my YouTube.
Here we go.
I'm going to use my medic dedication once a day ability to do battle medicine on one
person I've already done it on that day.
I'm going to do it all on Osmagtor.
I'm glad you always come around for me, Brother Ragnos.
God damn it.
I can't believe he's still here.
Would you get Bons?
I definitely chipped my toe on that interplanetary.
Quiet, I'm trying to focus.
And he's gonna try to battle medicine on Asta
to get her up in case we need her.
So he's like, damn it, Bons,
now we're gonna need Asta too.
And I'm gonna increase the DC
to get you the most hit points possible.
Here we go. Come on, mama. But I'm not increase the DC to get you the most hit points possible. Here we go.
But I'm not sickened anymore.
Success.
But not critical.
So I was doing the math, but it's not a crit.
But that's still good.
Okay.
Oh dude, 22 hit points.
Wow.
So huge, but that is truly the last of the last.
The last of us.
Okay.
So once per day, I can use battle medicine
on creatures previously treated.
All right, and then-
And I'm not wounded anymore
because you were using treat wounds.
No, you are wounded.
No, I'm, okay.
She wasn't, she didn't finish the treatment.
Battle medicine works mechanically like treat wounds,
but it is not treat wounds.
Got it, got it, but it does not it is not
And he is going to be like as you wake up. He's gonna be like Bones needs you we all do get up and
He's going to stand up
Is that flavor that wasn't technically
Like you slid into it. You're like you like down there treating her
Can I do two move actions to run outside?
Yeah, but sooner do I need to spend actions. Yeah, let me just knock all my
What a mess I don't want to see that
What was your question? Can I nipple cutouts?
Move actions to run out there to my allies or One action to stand up.
I'm gonna say one action to get on the map and then you want to decide what you want to do from there?
Uh, sure.
Alright, let's go back to the other map.
And we'll say your first action you are now on the map.
Wait, now you're on the map.
The rest of you visible? No, you shouldn't be there.
You shouldn't be there.
Good, you see yourself?
Yep, one action to get on the map
and then I will just cast shield as I get out there
and start to assess the situation.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
All right.
Austin's awake, she's coming.
He says to the empty city.
Well, he says to Zephyr and Buggles.
Right?
Isn't that what we're saying?
Aren't they out there?
Or near there?
I don't know.
I don't think we were.
It's a very confusing situation.
Zephyr I think was in the doorway, right?
Zephyr and Buggles are behind you.
You've moved past them outside.
I told him like, he's not listening to us, but Osta's awake.
Let's go.
Okay. Shit! It is awake. Let's go. Okay
Shit it is now
It is now
It is can't you see this guy so pissed it's so frustrating I imagine you lit up a cigarette as you do when you when you treat wounds
All right, it is blue Boob Guy's turn.
Blue Boob Guy is going to step up and fire.
Blue Boob Guy, come on, keeping you honest.
Yeah.
Had a bow in hand?
Crossbow.
Loaded.
In the street.
Well, I think what I'm going to do is say I get one shot.
That sounds incredibly fair.
I'm going to take one shot on Barnes.
Flat check.
That's just crazy.
They're standing at the edge of this.
Don't let him get away.
Oh, that's so awesome.
Flat check.
Natural 20 on the flat.
Yes!
Yes!
You've been there.
Sucker.
You've been there.
Sucker.
Natural one.
Natural one.
How do you like your rules now?
I'll get the fumble ready.
Natural one.
This sounds like a named blue boob guy. Yes a blue boob guy is the name
I guess it's a named character. You don't want that neck 20 coming at you now
Let me check the range on the crossbow. Oh, yeah Granger for days doesn't matter natural one
I could shoot fish in a barrel
All right, I think it's a hit. 23 to hit. Yes, it's a hit.
Damn.
Oh.
Ugh.
Has this ability called Crossbow Precision.
First time the Archer hits with a Crossbow Attack in a round,
it deals 1d8 extra precision damage.
On top of the regular damage.
And you don't have any other things.
This isn't Ranger, right?
Side concealment.
You don't get another bonus.
Ooh, you're lucky.
I rolled a one on that extra damage.
So you only take six points of piercing.
She's watching, she's watching.
Cuttle, boom, hits you.
Just nicks you right above the shoulder,
right below the shoulder bone.
Wait, how much damage? Six total. Not bad. And that's her turn. It is now Bugles' turn.
All right, Bugles is going to run up, get even, or just bevus movement up to into the into the
alleyway here
Okay, you move up to the alleyway. Yeah, and
Yeah, and he said this it's like no and he's gonna reach out and do a
frostbite attack on the closer of the two on
Todd Christensen Christensen here, the northernmost
raider.
Okay.
So give me a Fortitude save, please.
Fortitude save, okay.
This was the original raider that already had taken some damage in that fight, but not
much.
Fortitude save, he's in formation, so he'll get a little bonus.
Love that formation.
Natural 20.
20.
Bullshit. 20. All right. Oh, 20, bullshit, 20.
All right.
You hit on that bullshit.
It's true.
It wasn't bullshit.
You hit on that bullshit.
You hit on that bullshit.
At that moment, around the corner,
Buggles sees another raider.
Who uses two actions to get up on top of buckles
and swing a long story.
Oh my God.
I shouldn't have done, like, there's no reason for me
to have run up here.
Like, I have 120 feet of range, like, I should have just.
Yeah.
I'm just, I'm.
Where's Ramius?
Talking without thinking, I ended up on this map.
Yeah, you see yourself?
You're north. I'm sorry. I'm right up top. Yeah, you see yourself. I'm sorry right up top
Yeah, I apologize. I don't you right up top. See it do a little refresh. Oh, yeah
Yeah, refresh refresh. All right. This is this is gonna be a long sword attack on Buggles
Ramies you see this this guy came right around the corner as this guy runs out
This is it.
Flat check.
Stop. What?
I believe you, I was like, get it.
15 to hit.
That's a miss.
Yes.
Oh, Humongo.
Oh, God.
Okay.
So let me just move him in the initiative order
and that's his turn and it is now Zephyr's turn.
Zephyr, you have low light vision, elf vision, or have you moved on to dark vision?
Yeah, no, she has a low light.
Alright, I would say that from where you're standing, especially there at the door, you now see this thing come up on Bugles.
There are four enemies. I don't know if you even see what's going on at the dock, to be completely honest.
I mean, I immediately see what's happening to Buggles at least, and she runs up
to the enemy that just ran up to Buggles.
Yeah, Buggles is drained like you are.
You wanna get right on top of the enemy?
Yep.
Okay, that's gonna be, how much movement do you have?
I have 35 feet.
Okay, I'm gonna say you can get right up to him
in one move action.
Awesome.
Flurry of blows with my fist,
cause I was not in Manasic Archer's stance before.
Okay. Come on. Flurry of blows with my fist because I was not in Manasic Archer stance before. Okay. Come on. Flurry of blows with the fist. This thing is not
in formation. No shield raised. 18 on the first one. It's 19 to hit them, right? I think
it is. It's 19. That was crack. The second one is 22. That's a hit. Yes.
Is it a hit?
Let's do it.
Let's kill him.
You still get Stunning Fist, right?
Nine points of damage.
Nice.
A fortitude save, please.
Nine points of damage and a fortitude save.
No information, no bone.
That's going to be a fail with an 11.
Nice.
Is that a critical fail?
It's not a crit.
It's a 19.
Okay.
So you're stunned one, and then she has one more action left.
She's gonna punch again.
Okay.
I know we love doing that, but I don't know what else to do.
Just do your best, just do your best.
You might, you might.
You could give guidance, aid.
Everybody's got guidance.
16.
I meant aid.
I already gave everyone guidance.
Oh, not aid, though. You meant aid, yeah. I already gave everyone guidance. Oh, not eight though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ugh!
Barnes, you surface.
More than arrows stuck in your shoulder.
Ah!
Just like other little arrows
floating around near you, a crossbow bolt.
Gosh, this is a bad, worse than I thought it was.
Really?
Yeah, no, it's much worse.
This is a worse situation than you thought?
Yeah.
Well, now that we have a four-guy on board. Feels like the Trash Compactor scene. Yeah. You hope? Yeah, no it's much worse situation than you thought yeah well now that we have a
Trash compactor scene yeah, you know yeah, I don't know luckily. They weren't rolling dice. They were just writing the story
How do you think that wrote it making it up?
Okay The water is calm you said yeah freezing cold though you take
19 points of cold damage
Was a d20 worth it damage. What happens when you're
unconscious underwater? That's a d20 worth of damage. You take one d20 damage. Wow that's crazy. That's really harsh.
That's too beef for you. That river's open. That's too beef for you. You gotta play more tactically. It's just really
cold and now you're wet. So with the swim action. Winter and you're in the north. GM determines the DC based on the turbulence or a
danger of the water in most instances of calm water you can get an automatic
critical success oh okay which would increase your maximum distance by five
feet five feet that's fair so five feet for every 20 plus a five foot bone five
feet for every 10 oh because if you have a speed of 40. So you could swim basically half speed.
Yeah.
Basically half speed.
That's fine with me.
No, yeah, a little more than half speed.
So, all right.
It's fine with me, Matthew Capitacaza.
What's your middle name?
James?
Steven.
Bill?
Steve?
Steve.
Your middle name's Steve?
All those songs we made about you?
Yeah, he's been hiding it.
He didn't want to mention it.
Matthew Steven.
I'm gonna try that out. Matthew Steven.
Pull up your pants. Why did you pursue these hobgoblins? Matthew Steven. Matthew Steven.
Okay, Barnes is gonna swim.
Pull up your pants.
I'm pulling those pants down Matthew Steven. This is a baptism.
What is he doing back there?
Okay, Barnes is gonna swim 30 feet to the east.
Guarantee.
Guarantee!
Anyone that's run this has never had this happen.
All right, so you swim under the canal.
Under the canal. Under the bridge there.
Under the bridge, 15 feet to the east.
And you run right into the Dianoga.
Yeah, exactly.
And then I'm going to glint the mirror again.
Okay.
And a second Barnes is going to appear
on the other side of the bridge out of the water.
Oh my God.
Are you keeping the original barns there?
Yeah, the other barns has to stay unless the water is moving.
Okay.
Yeah, I know.
They both stay.
It's calm.
All right.
So you just appear on land.
On like this.
On the other side.
Actually, you can go further behind the wall, can't you?
Yeah, you can go 15 feet.
Well, how far down is the canal? Actually, you can go further behind the wall, can't you? Yeah, you can go 15 feet. Well, how far down is the ballpark?
Oh, you know what?
No, actually, I can turn this corner now that I see that.
So I'm not going to mirror glint.
I will keep swimming.
So I'm going to go, that was 30.
45 feet?
Yeah, so I'm going to go around the corner.
Swim around the corner.
Yeah, that's way better.
Okay.
And kind of get out of sight.
You're out of sight there.
Yeah. They're going to have to move to try and chase you.
They're gonna have to kill Brother Ramius.
Good job.
Or they can come after me and you guys can go back.
I don't know, 14, okay.
Ah, of course I deleted the wrong barns.
Shit always happens.
You're so fucking mad.
All right, barns.
Ah, you move.
Okay. Very interesting.
Asta, it's been a while.
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
Since I've been awake for any fight.
Alright.
It's been a while.
Asta, yeah, is awake now.
22, I think she said 22 hit points.
Yeah, it was awesome. She is on the ground
It was awesome man for your own. It was awesome your own field check first action stands up from so good
I don't like a prune fuck my ass second action. She grabs her katana. No
God damn it. Yeah, so she has to do that third
She's gonna move how far can I get with my one movement do I get to the new man right?
Put you on the map. Okay, um before she runs though. She says to Sakawatchi
Do you have any other potions do you have anything else?
That's all I found. That's all I found. I looked around
Going to die I could keep looking I'm really ill prepared for this. The people that were with
me, they could help, but I lost them.
You're unhelpful.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I promise once we get out of this, I can help. I think.
Just stand by that other guy who is also unhelpful. And she points to Hubert.
The hedgehog?
Yes. He talks.
You sit with him and think about what you've done.
Yeah, this is your punishment.
Hello there.
Get used to it.
Runs out of the room.
A little rude to people like us.
Third action gets out of the way.
I truly don't know why he's in this camp.
I don't know his purpose.
I thought there was gonna be something
at the end of the book. It drives me insane.
There was gonna be like,
actually Hubert was like served some key purpose,
some key noble purpose all along.
Has an answer to a question that we need down the line
that only he-
It's been a really long time.
I think I'm going back to Nidalee.
Maybe he's gonna be the one that brings the vote
of no confidence on Emperor Palpatine.
It could be. Exactly.
Could be.
That's his role.
That's his role.
Ask to get outside. Ah, now I understand.
She says, thank you to Brother Ran-
Thank you, thank you for helping me
What's going on and you fill her in yes bonds has jumped over the edge out of sight
They're pursuing him now, but buckles is in combat with one right there fuck get to him
save buckles
Save buckles save the world so
She's drained to and covered in blood
and holding her appendix in.
And she's like, fuck.
You don't need that.
Okay, oh, okay, I don't need it.
She takes it out.
That's her ult turn.
Brother Ramius eats it.
Does he get any hit points?
Yeah.
You eat her appendix.
Yeah, she gives it, willingly, freely,
gives it to him.
That's horrible.
All right, it is original Raider's turn.
Original Raider's turn.
This is brutal.
He looks to the woman.
She's like, give chase, give chase, there's more of them.
And he is gonna have to double move.
Yeah, 35 feet, so double move to get within range of Barnes is going to get one shot off
here.
It's reload zero for the short bow.
Flat check.
17 on the flat.
That would have been a nice hit.
You're still in the water.
Yeah.
Yeah, the water's your advantage right now.
Unless he goes unconscious.
Oh, yeah.
But they're going to keep missing. Well, I'm. Oh yeah. But they're gonna keep missing.
Oh, I'm off guard.
He's got a bulkhead.
That's the flat check.
Short-lipped tripo has a deadly D10.
Oh crap, just throwing that out there.
Natural three.
Dude, flat checks are awesome.
I love flat checks.
Who are you lucky? Yeah, I feel are awesome. I love flat checks. I mean, who are you lucky?
Yeah, I feel like I'm knocking on wood.
Who?
All right, going to top of round three.
Really would be like round eight, maybe.
That's the original raider, by the way, that came after you.
Now the other one.
Say, should I follow you?
She said, no.
No, go after them.
So he is going to step up.
Oh, no, actually, it's way better
to stay next to her and just
it's going to fire at Buggles with
the short bow.
Let me check the range here.
Sixty feet.
I'm sure that's fine.
Yes, it's fine.
Forty feet.
All right, so it's going to fire at
Buggles.
Fifteen. It's a miss at Buggles. 15.
It's a miss.
It's Buggles.
Come on.
Second attack, man.
The bad rolls are starting to come around here.
And then with the second attack, 18.
That's a hit, exactly.
Oh, put the minus five.
Yeah, yeah.
I rolled okay on that last one.
All right, so this is gonna be,
oh, minimum damage, three points of piercing. Okay
and then is going to
Now raising its shield doesn't make sense here. I want to keep my bow. It's just gonna kind of slide up next to
The woman
And now it's brother Ramias's turn
God, this is cool. Ramias is just gonna knee-jerk reaction fire a
Divine Lance at the Raider that's attacking bugles the one with cover
Mouth makes me sick
See it and every time I hear it
it makes me sick.
Let me ask you this, penis.
If I move in front of Asta, could I...
Is that no cover?
No, you're clear now.
So he will move back toward that way and say
Pugles! Come back behind me. Come back behind me. You're so due for this to hit dude
Yeah, here we go. Divine Lance
Just double checking the the to hit
Because I've been sickened and I'm all kind of all over the place. This doesn't seem right. I feel like this to hit is wrong
Oh, no, that's right. Okay, here we go.
Here we go.
19, that's exactly right.
It's a hit.
It's exactly.
Oh, amazing.
All right, fantastic.
I apologize.
I wish that I was ready for this, but I wasn't.
All right, divine lands.
This is spirit damage.
For those at home?
For in case that they're- High ends of spirit damage. A week to spirit damage. I those at home? In case there are any weak spirit damage.
Seven points.
Seven points of spirit damage.
Ah! My pride!
My pride in what I do!
Who's walks out the job at this point?
By the way, I gotta say, speaking of spirit,
Skid hung an amazing sign right in front of me.
Oh, yeah.
Right at the studio where we walk into where this table is. The the Noter team
play like a champion today sign. We tap it on the way in. We gotta play like a champion right now.
That's why we're playing so well. I never tap. So I went back to my college recently when we were at the
Boston show and backstage there was a sign that said like theater this way and there that way and there would be a sign hanging there said act like a champion
Today and the tradition was like you would hit it before you would go on stage
And I forgot to look to see if it was still oh, well you hit act like a champion
I guess all Catholic schools have that
Sign even though we hated Notre Dame. Yeah. All right. That's his turn move to action divine Lance. All right, I was I
All right, that's his turn. Move to action divine Lance.
All right, I was,
I was taking my time here
because it's blue boob guy's turn,
but I'm gonna change his name.
It's blue boob lady.
Blue boob lady.
Just blue lady.
How about just blue lady?
Blue boob.
When you weren't sure.
Saw you acting alone.
Her gender, blue boob guy,
but it is a lady.
Blue lady.
I should say it looks, there's a similarity between her and the other creatures,
but she is a little bit taller, stronger, and her features are much more human and less goblin.
I wonder if she's half human, half hobgoblin.
Do these, do the hobgoblins?
He's tall, yeah.
That we, do these hobgoblins, do they look like any other hobgoblins that we would be familiar with?
I haven't had a chance for any. Yeah the only really interesting marking.
Because Barnes had one right? Yeah but he failed. No I succeeded.
Do they look otherworldly hobgoblins? They don't look otherworldly, Hubgoblin? They don't look otherworldly, no. The only thing that's interesting about their look is they're all wearing the similar garb
and have this war paint on.
And you think they're just part of some raiding group that came to this abandoned city, perhaps.
Alright, so, man, I'm a little torn here.
Alright, so she's going to move and, well, she's going to do the action running reload.
So she slides up into the alleyway past her, the other hobgoblin and gets a reload and
then will fire her crossbow at Buggles.
As long as Buggles is standing there, he is the target.
Big to hit here, big to hit. 32. That's a crit.
Unlike the shortbow, it does not have a deadly D10 and it is not a nat 20 so it won't be a
named crit but it will be double damage and this might take Buggles down. So that doesn't have
another critical specialization? No, no you're're lucky. Yeah, the short bow is actually much far more dangerous, but she hasn't been a chance to hit.
Oh, 28 points. Dying too. Piercing damage.
And I have no means. Well, I can stabilize it, but I can't bring him back.
All right, so Buggles goes down to dying too. I don't think we should have come out here.
I don't think we should have come out here either.
Hey, Skip.
Not naming names, not pointing fingers.
Not pointing fingers.
Saying Matthew shouldn't have come out here.
We could just read you the episode.
No one asked enough.
And then she-
And we can get from the top. She will get from the top. Back to she. Can we take it from the top?
She'll take it from the top.
Back to one.
You know what, cut this.
Cut this out.
You meet Dr. Riddle.
So.
She's then gonna do another running reload,
backing up to get in formation with the hobgoblin
and gets a free reload on that running reload.
So she backs up with Buggles down,
Barnes in the water. Buggles down, Barnes in the water.
Buggles will now move an initiative. Oh man, dying too is just, it's brutal.
And now it's the Raider's turn that is right next to Buggles
and he does a coup de grace.
No, he is going to swing his long sword at Zephyr.
You bitch.
What?
First attack.
Natural 20.
But do you enjoy being-
Evil?
Hope you had fun playing this game.
Hope you're gonna have fun playing by yourself.
I only enjoy it.
There's two reasons why I would enjoy it.
One, if I've been like down, you know, like down at the casino and all of a sudden on a hot streak
It just feels good to like as a because I'm a player at the table a lot of people forget that yeah
It's nice to get hot again, and you're a player with godlike power
And it feels good. You're the only one with a big fucking screen up here, too
You can say whatever you fucking want wouldn't that be great in a casino. That'd be great. Yeah, it's like oh seven again
Which be like quad
Sorry guys
That's great. Don't worry about I remember where all the pips on my dice are so I feel good then and also when I
Know you're gonna win
Right now I don't know that that's the case So you don't feel good about that natural 20 against effort?
So take it back.
Let's see how much damage on its first action.
Kate's really leaning into that,
this is an edited show thing.
She's like, come on.
Just take it.
Yeah, run about in the mouth.
No.
You got a backup?
I'm gonna crack open another Nooner.
Hey, listen.
She's gonna die.
I'm gonna go home.
I'm gonna spend two hours on the train.
Maybe build a new character.
Thinking about everything.
Here it comes, double damage.
Shh, first tile, long sword.
24 points of slashing damage.
Okay.
You're up?
Oh yeah, I was full, but I'm drained, but I was full.
I love her reaction of, okay.
Okay, and?
Is that all?
Second attack.
Crack.
Statistically, time to roll a natural one.
He doesn't roll.
13.
Miss.
Miss.
Third action ratio.
Ugh.
Stupid.
Ugh.
Stupid.
Alright.
And now it's your turn, Zephyr. Here's what I wanna do.
Buggles is down, lying in a pool of his own.
I want to- Red blood?
You red blood over there?
Yeah, red blood.
You bleed red blood?
Yeah.
You bleed red blood?
Here's what I wanna do.
Let me know if this is possible.
It's your blood, now come out blue and burn the ground.
And how this would work.
I would like to...
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Exactly what I was thinking.
Sorry, that's a deep cut, man.
That's a great one.
That was Star Wars.
That was Star Wars, new game who did Star Wars.
I was glad about that the other day.
I was like, doggo!
Doggo!
Doggo!
Doggo!
Sorry.
For fans of our other work.
Sorry.
Pretty good stuff.
Here's what I wanna do.
Let me know if it's possible or whatever.
I wanna like pick up Buggles and drag him away and run away.
This thing has a provo.
I know, but that's what she would do.
She was just critted. She was just hit really hard.
Okay. All right. So you.
And Buggles is down.
All right. So Buggles, how much you weigh?
You could hold on.
Before you make that decision, just I know that we're like talking out of character,
but Asta is going to attack this guy.
So if you delay, Asta can be there to potentially take an attack of opportunity and maybe go down but you
would get away with I mean I don't know if she would take that she's already
seen two people in her party die she wouldn't be like oh yeah you go die and
said I don't know if she would up to you up to you here's what I'm gonna say
first action grab him second action is gonna's what I'm going to say. First action, grab him.
Second action is going to be drag.
I'm just going to say it's going to be difficult terrain as you pull him back, but it will
provoke.
If you avoid that provoke, you can go back.
Technically, you can just grab, grabbing him, grabbing him.
Yeah.
Like any manipulate.
So grab, if you can survive that, you can move half speed or you could double move
and just move your full competent movement back.
No, I mean, I feel like that's what she would do
character wise.
She sees another character go down in front of her.
30 pounds, would that make you encumbered?
I'm not gonna hold her over the course of that.
I think he's lightened up that she could scoop him up,
second action and move at regular speed.
Oh, you mean if it's not uncovered 30 pounds
interesting
That's a good point
Very light. It's a light boy. One action, you know
I just don't which I just don't think it makes any difference whether she moves half speed or full speed. Yeah, it does
It's 15 feet versus 35 feet and they have bows
right
So they can shoot us wherever we are.
Okay.
And track us down wherever we are.
Or bows, they have short bows.
You wanna do it?
You can, you can.
Yeah, that's what she would do in the moment.
She would see Buggles going down
and just like get hit really hard in the face
and she would just lean down to pick him up
and try to save him.
Here comes the attack of opportunity.
Survive this.
And there is a good chance.
Long sword. I feel good about my choice I like it like it's also one bad you feel won't be able to do she'll block I think you're
really brave here we go stuffer is late to the true to characters
We'll see you next week. Oh you shitting my dad right now!
We can't do this again dude!
Take a picture.
I've got it right here.
You.
Oh.
Roll it back.
That's un-hut.
We can't do this again.
That's so brutal.
Take a quick picture of my face.
