The adventure continues 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.
Starting point is 00:03:47 The Jizpip. Just make a note of that. Everyone's going to say that. Jizpip. Oh, no. No. No T-shirts. You ruined it.
Starting point is 00:03:53 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.
Starting point is 00:04:04 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
Starting point is 00:04:28 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?
Starting point is 00:04:35 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.
Starting point is 00:04:54 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.
Starting point is 00:05:03 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.
Starting point is 00:05:12 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,
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:57 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
Starting point is 00:06:18 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
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:50 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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.
Starting point is 00:07:10 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.
Starting point is 00:07:20 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.
Starting point is 00:07:37 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.
Starting point is 00:07:49 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:42 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,
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:14 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
Starting point is 00:09:30 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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,
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:12 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
Starting point is 00:10:23 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.
Starting point is 00:10:36 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:11:06 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.
Starting point is 00:11:18 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?
Starting point is 00:11:31 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?
Starting point is 00:11:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:48 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.
Starting point is 00:12:02 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:38 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.
Starting point is 00:12:59 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
Starting point is 00:13:16 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%.
Starting point is 00:13:33 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
Starting point is 00:13:51 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.
Starting point is 00:14:04 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.
Starting point is 00:14:20 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?
Starting point is 00:14:32 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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 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.
Starting point is 00:15:06 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,
Starting point is 00:15:19 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.
Starting point is 00:15:31 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.
Starting point is 00:15:39 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
Starting point is 00:16:04 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?
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:02 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,
Starting point is 00:17:25 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.
Starting point is 00:17:38 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.
Starting point is 00:17:52 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.
Starting point is 00:18:06 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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.
Starting point is 00:18:41 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.
Starting point is 00:18:52 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.
Starting point is 00:19:01 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.
Starting point is 00:19:09 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?
Starting point is 00:19:20 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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.
Starting point is 00:19:43 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.
Starting point is 00:19:50 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.
Starting point is 00:19:56 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.
Starting point is 00:20:05 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
Starting point is 00:20:22 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.
Starting point is 00:20:46 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
Starting point is 00:21:04 and when I don't need to and what's behind it. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.

Starting point is 00:21:50 Chocolate stirring. I want to thank our sponsors, of course, Foundry Virtual Tabletop and of course, good old Norse Foundry and one more shout out to old Davey Maps from last week. Oh, hey, yeah. Loving this map.

Starting point is 00:22:54 Be better than them. Leave a nice review. 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
Starting point is 00:23:27 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?
Starting point is 00:23:47 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?
Starting point is 00:24:00 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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.
Starting point is 00:24:26 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:24:58 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.
Starting point is 00:25:05 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.
Starting point is 00:25:18 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?
Starting point is 00:25:28 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
Starting point is 00:25:42 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.
Starting point is 00:26:10 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
Starting point is 00:26:31 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,
Starting point is 00:27:18 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.
Starting point is 00:27:45 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
Starting point is 00:28:12 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
Starting point is 00:28:55 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
Starting point is 00:29:33 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.
Starting point is 00:29:58 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?
Starting point is 00:30:20 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
Starting point is 00:30:43 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
Starting point is 00:30:56 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
Starting point is 00:31:23 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.
Starting point is 00:32:06 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.
Starting point is 00:32:28 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.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Just misses. Just misses. Phew. Phew. Phew. Art. Do I think I could pursue him? Sure.
Starting point is 00:32:57 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.
Starting point is 00:33:18 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,
Starting point is 00:33:35 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.
Starting point is 00:33:49 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,
Starting point is 00:34:03 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
Starting point is 00:34:32 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.
Starting point is 00:34:51 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.
Starting point is 00:35:04 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.
Starting point is 00:35:32 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.
Starting point is 00:35:43 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.
Starting point is 00:36:05 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.
Starting point is 00:36:20 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
Starting point is 00:37:06 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.
Starting point is 00:37:32 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.
Starting point is 00:37:44 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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?
Starting point is 00:38:24 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
Starting point is 00:38:40 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.
Starting point is 00:39:06 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
Starting point is 00:39:33 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.
Starting point is 00:39:54 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.
Starting point is 00:40:08 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.
Starting point is 00:40:16 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.
Starting point is 00:40:33 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.
Starting point is 00:40:59 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.
Starting point is 00:41:27 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
Starting point is 00:41:45 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.
Starting point is 00:42:13 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.
Starting point is 00:42:26 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.
Starting point is 00:42:42 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?
Starting point is 00:43:12 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.
Starting point is 00:43:37 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.
Starting point is 00:44:02 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
Starting point is 00:44:25 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?
Starting point is 00:44:38 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
Starting point is 00:44:56 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.
Starting point is 00:45:10 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.
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:45 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
Starting point is 00:46:10 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?
Starting point is 00:46:22 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.
Starting point is 00:46:30 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,
Starting point is 00:46:48 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.
Starting point is 00:47:03 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.
Starting point is 00:47:31 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.
Starting point is 00:47:43 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.
Starting point is 00:48:05 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-
Starting point is 00:48:24 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.
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:49:13 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.
Starting point is 00:49:34 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.
Starting point is 00:49:54 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.
Starting point is 00:50:04 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?
Starting point is 00:50:22 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?
Starting point is 00:50:42 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.
Starting point is 00:51:05 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.
Starting point is 00:51:19 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
Starting point is 00:51:36 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.
Starting point is 00:51:51 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.
Starting point is 00:52:00 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.
Starting point is 00:52:16 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?
Starting point is 00:52:40 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.
Starting point is 00:52:58 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.
Starting point is 00:53:13 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
Starting point is 00:53:42 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.
Starting point is 00:53:58 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
Starting point is 00:54:29 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.
Starting point is 00:54:37 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.
Starting point is 00:54:55 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.
Starting point is 00:55:03 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.
Starting point is 00:55:29 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.
Starting point is 00:55:39 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.
Starting point is 00:55:59 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.
Starting point is 00:56:15 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,
Starting point is 00:56:31 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.
Starting point is 00:56:44 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
Starting point is 00:57:14 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.
Starting point is 00:57:45 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.
Starting point is 00:57:59 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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
Starting point is 00:58:52 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.
Starting point is 00:59:10 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.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Man! Wow! I thought par! Wow! Wow! Alright, it is... Miss. Oh man. Wow, Bard. Wow. All right, it is... Brother Ramious' turn.
Starting point is 00:59:34 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.
Starting point is 00:59:50 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.
Starting point is 01:00:08 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.
Starting point is 01:00:31 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.
Starting point is 01:00:44 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.
Starting point is 01:01:01 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.
Starting point is 01:01:18 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
Starting point is 01:01:33 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.
Starting point is 01:01:52 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.
Starting point is 01:02:08 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.
Starting point is 01:02:18 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
Starting point is 01:02:48 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.
Starting point is 01:03:17 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.
Starting point is 01:03:34 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?
Starting point is 01:03:51 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.
Starting point is 01:04:03 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.
Starting point is 01:04:45 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.
Starting point is 01:04:59 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!
Starting point is 01:05:12 Yes! You've been there. Sucker. You've been there. Sucker. Natural one. Natural one. How do you like your rules now?
Starting point is 01:05:21 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.
Starting point is 01:05:48 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?
Starting point is 01:06:08 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,
Starting point is 01:06:23 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
Starting point is 01:07:07 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.
Starting point is 01:07:22 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.
Starting point is 01:07:32 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.
Starting point is 01:07:56 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
Starting point is 01:08:11 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.
Starting point is 01:08:36 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.
Starting point is 01:08:52 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?
Starting point is 01:09:17 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
Starting point is 01:09:37 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.
Starting point is 01:09:52 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.
Starting point is 01:10:01 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.
Starting point is 01:10:20 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.
Starting point is 01:10:29 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?
Starting point is 01:10:43 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.
Starting point is 01:11:12 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.
Starting point is 01:11:47 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?
Starting point is 01:11:57 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.
Starting point is 01:12:06 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!
Starting point is 01:12:29 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.
Starting point is 01:12:42 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.
Starting point is 01:12:55 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?
Starting point is 01:13:06 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.
Starting point is 01:13:20 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.
Starting point is 01:13:32 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.
Starting point is 01:13:50 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
Starting point is 01:14:08 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
Starting point is 01:14:45 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.
Starting point is 01:15:05 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
Starting point is 01:15:19 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.
Starting point is 01:15:33 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-
Starting point is 01:15:44 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.
Starting point is 01:16:11 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.
Starting point is 01:16:20 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.
Starting point is 01:16:37 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.
Starting point is 01:16:56 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.
Starting point is 01:17:08 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?
Starting point is 01:17:29 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.
Starting point is 01:17:49 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.
Starting point is 01:18:01 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.
Starting point is 01:18:09 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
Starting point is 01:18:27 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
Starting point is 01:19:08 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
Starting point is 01:19:32 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.
Starting point is 01:19:54 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.
Starting point is 01:20:08 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
Starting point is 01:20:29 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.
Starting point is 01:21:03 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?
Starting point is 01:21:15 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.
Starting point is 01:21:39 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.
Starting point is 01:22:10 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
Starting point is 01:22:57 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.
Starting point is 01:23:32 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.
Starting point is 01:23:47 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,
Starting point is 01:24:03 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.
Starting point is 01:24:30 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
Starting point is 01:24:47 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
Starting point is 01:25:20 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.
Starting point is 01:25:34 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.
Starting point is 01:25:45 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.
Starting point is 01:26:00 Okay, and? Is that all? Second attack. Crack. Statistically, time to roll a natural one. He doesn't roll. 13. Miss.
Starting point is 01:26:16 Miss. Third action ratio. Ugh. Stupid. Ugh. Stupid. Alright. And now it's your turn, Zephyr. Here's what I wanna do.
Starting point is 01:26:25 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.
Starting point is 01:26:34 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.
Starting point is 01:26:43 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!
Starting point is 01:26:52 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.
Starting point is 01:27:06 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,
Starting point is 01:27:20 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
Starting point is 01:27:52 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
Starting point is 01:28:11 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
Starting point is 01:28:29 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.
Starting point is 01:28:47 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.
Starting point is 01:28:58 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.
Starting point is 01:29:30 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.
