Last week on the Glass Cannon Podcast... On day 61, signs of life. An old woman sitting in a chair. Oh. And she looks towards you. This village is called Aminuet. Oh, wait. Wait, you know Sakawatchi? He's my grandson.

She's like, oh no. She like begins to flicker in and out of existence. Try and listen. Ainamuron has been taken, bound to the very temple in the heart of the Nameless Spires, his people once built as a tomb over the Nightmare's grave. Not even all of her words are getting out because she's starting to fade and her voice is fading with it. If the god within you, she points to Puggles, can be delivered to the temple before it is

too late, the Nightmare's tomb can be bolstered anew. Ka-boom! Ka-boom! Things are falling off the sides of the wall. You look beyond, you see pure inky blackness. God, it's so scary. You must defeat these dreamscapers before you can. And as she says that, a thunderous ripping sound cuts her off and she and everything around it

disappear completely. You are in nothingness. The adventure continues now. I'm gonna be a good boy. I try to avoid at all costs recording the week we're traveling because it's just too much to have to fucking do this and then focus on that. It's too much. The only thing that's worse is recording two days after a trip. The minute you get home. The second you return home. That's where we're at today. If I closed my eyes, I could fall asleep right now, sitting in this chair.

I feel really, really bad for you. Yesterday, I was going to say, so yesterday, having just gotten back, my kids were really excited to watch some Star Wars. I told them we would watch the Star Wars. I got the- I like Star Wars. I know them we would watch some Star Wars. I got the... Let's go. I like Star Wars. I know, I got those sweet versions from,

that you guys got through the original, like, whatever, tapings from 4K resolution, whatever. And I hadn't watched Return of the Jedi. They, we've watched it once together, but the other ones, not the... Oh, here we go. I just love it so much. It's so subtle. I just love it so much. I just love it so much. I get sucked.

It's so subtle. I love it. Keep talking. Keep talking. And we sat down and I put on the old version of Return of the Jedi. Oh. You start with Return? No, we had watched...

We're like, don't worry about the first two. We had watched the series. This is a good one. We had watched the series already. And then, courtesy of a member of the nation at one of our shows, they gave me the LEGO Star Wars Switch game. Great game. So we started playing that together.

And it is so great that I got me all juiced up again. And the kids were like, can we watch Star Wars again? And I was like, yes, we absolutely can. And so they haven't watched one, two, or three, seven, eight, or nine. We just went back to four again. Let's watch A New Hope again. And they were into it again, even more.

And now they know the story. And so they're following it easier. And then we did Empire. But those were birthed the Disney Plus versions. And now I have these other versions. So I'm like, let me show you the original version, which they don't really care. But I want to see what I haven't seen in 20 plus years.

I'm like, this is going to be cool. And so we start watching it. And this is yesterday. And I just straight up fell sound asleep between the two of them on a couch and missed 30 minutes of the movie. And they kept waking me up like, I thought you loved Star Wars. And I was like, oh no. I didn't know about Star Wars.

I was so exhausted. How easy I closed my eyes and slipped into a sitting up sleep was this crazy. Yeah, I was too. I had to record yesterday. I had to record another show. Oh, that's right. I was just like, oh man. And it was supposed to be, it's like once we're getting on our plane to go back from

our trip, the flight people, flight testers, it's like, enjoy the rest of your three day weekend. It was just like, oh, fuck. Fuck off. Fuck off. Yeah, people flight test, it's like enjoy the rest of your three day weekend. And it was just like, oh, fuck right. Fuck off. Fuck off. Yeah, people was like, oh shit. So yeah, pretty tired. But I always find after I travel, I can fall asleep like on the couch,

you know, like watching something because I'm just so fucking tired. But even if I don't and I don't nap and I don't like spoil it, when I try to go to bed, I cannot for the life of me have a good night's sleep. Like I can't do it after traveling. I have weird dreams I wake up during the night. I'm sweaty Yeah, and it's just all the things happen to make me so exhausted continually like today like today I said to Kate when we came in I was like

Tired I didn't sleep last night. Yeah. But I could have fallen asleep on the couch watching Andor when I got home. No problem, two seconds. Andor, garbage TV, easily. No, but I love Star Wars. But I love Star Wars. Yeah, it's just, man, it is. And it also is crazy how we, when we're on the road

and do the whole day and the show, and like the load in and all of the like stuff that goes with doing the show and then a VIP in and all the like stuff that goes with doing the show and then a VIP meet and greet, which is mentally exhausting, right? And then the show and you'd think you'd get in bed and just like crash and like, I go to bed and I just can't sleep after a show.

I'm all wired, my brain's all, I usually have a great time and I just can't come down from it. It's the same thing. You go back to the hotel and pack because you have to leave the next morning. The next morning. Right, exactly. You have to be up at 4 a.m.

Get up three hours later. Yeah. And I just can't sleep for some reason. That's why you can't have a hard time like sleeping after recording Legacy. It's a nighttime recording. It gets so wound up. And you're super wound up at 11 30 p.m.

And it's just like, oh fuck. All right, now shut it off immediately. Can't go to sleep. I usually don't get to sleep until like 2 or 3 a.m Mm-hmm. It's so hard on a legacy night last night. I woke up multiple times in the night I was having weird dreams. I couldn't sleep. I was uncomfortable My back was hurting but I woke up because I heard the cats yowling and they're outside the bedroom I was like, oh are they fighting? You know, what are they doing?

So I get up and I go over and they're- Playing poker. They're playing poker, who's winning? I get out, they're all freaked out, puffed up. I'm like, oh, they only do this when there's another cat or something. So I go to the window, it's dark, I'm like, I don't know. Turn on the porch light, I don't see any fucking cats. I go out on the deck, I go out on the deck and there is a stray cat just in the yard like. Oh, does it know the worst thing that could happen is getting picked up by you? Yeah.

Does it know? Please don't let this woman adopt me. No, but I was not in the mood. It was like 2 a.m. I was like half naked and I was like, get out of the fucking yard. I'm like throwing little things. I'm like, get out of the yard.

Get out of here Brian Setzer. I felt bad. I had to just shut the. I'm like, get out of the yard. Get out of here, Brian Setzer. I felt bad. I had to just shut the lights off and close the windows so the cats couldn't hear them outside, but the cats were going crazy inside. Then I had to sit with them like a child. You're like, it's okay. Cat outside can't hurt you. It's fine.

You're good. You're fine. Then I had to go back to bed. What an amazingly raw deal for that cat. That cat happened to get in front of the most likely door in New York City that would take it in, and she got shit thrown at it. Get out of here.

It was a big tom cat. It was not a house cat. But it was making the cats crazy, and I just couldn't fall back asleep after that. I woke up panicked. It was like, rawr! It was like, oh! And I just was up the whole night. So if I'm grumpy today, sorry.

Okay, no, just keep talking. I don't wanna do anything. I'm tired. I'm out of time. I wanna sleep. No, keep telling your story. How did you sleep? How's your cat?

Like shit. Like always sleep like shit. My cat's great. Yeah. She sat on me and purred when I got home. Usually when I come home, she's like screaming at me. She's like, bitch, where have you been?

Let me sit on you. I'm like, all right. This time she was nice? Well, she screamed at me. Oh. But it's in like a cute way. She's like, cause she's so tiny. So when she meows, it's like so high pitched.

She's like, Ah! Oh yeah. Ah! It is so breathy. It's like you. Me? When you scream.

Uh. I actually was like, I slept pretty well, partially because when we were in Canada, someone gave me some little like THC gummies. Ooh. Nice. So it was like little half one and slept fucking incredible, like last two nights. Like half a gummy like each night.

I think Skip cracked the code. It's that great. And I was actually, and I was like really excited to like record yesterday and today I was like, oh you were. There you go. You're cracked the code. And I was like really excited to record yesterday and today. I was like, oh you are. You're riding the wave. Drugs. Drugs are the answer. Drugs are the answer.

You learned nothing today. As always, do drugs. Sponsor us. Drugs, yeah. We have a couple of drug sponsors, right? I did a spot. Yeah, you did a mood spot. Yeah.

Sponsor, you can sponsor a whole season, drugs. You hear me, drugs? Yeah. Drugs Inc, yeah. Yeah, so it's always tough coming back. It's tough gearing back up. There's never a lull, but today I'm feeling it like I just ate something.

It's like time recording, I'm like, what? Should I just starve myself? Oh, no. Now it's all warm in my stomach. Yeah. Why would you eat it? Warm me in my tum tum. I had something with chia seeds. And so I'm pretty sure they're still stuck in my teeth.

I keep looking. Don't look. Give us a big smile. Let me check. Let me check. Let me see. I just pulled one out, but it was fun to re-chew it. Yeah.

And try and catch it between your teeth. Yeah. Oh, you slippery son of to like re-chew it. Yeah. Like trying to like catch it between your teeth. Yeah. Oh, you slippery son of a gun. Then you get it, squeesh. Wow, you are going to be so distracted for this entire session, pulling cheese seeds out of your mouth. I think I got them all out, but they grow when they get wet. Yeah, that's true.

This is a big one too. I don't think that you're going to, I don't think you're going to get too dozy during the episode. I was about to say, we just- I think we got an action packed John on death here. I'm not too long-term concerned. I was excited for today. She needed something to talk about in the episode. I was about to say, we just- I think we got an action packed John on death year. I'm not too long-term concerned. I was excited for today. She needed something to talk about in the back.

I was really excited for today because we got so much information. Yeah. Oh yeah. Like literally all the information. Finally, all our memories back of the missing moment. They were drizzling in, you know, but now we got them all. Pretty significant.

Foundry heavily featured today, I imagine. Yeah, a little heavy feature. Well, stop dicking around and get founders. On the virtual tabletop, stop dicking around. All right, so last week, your sort of harrowing mental journey through the crown of the world continued. And we realized that what Brother Ramius was experiencing may have very well been a nightmare, but a nightmare

that just – there was this loss of time involved. It seemed very real. It seemed very personal. As the days continued, all of you suffered a similar nightmare and your mental faculties were at an all-time low. Some of you cracked. You had to spend a day in the yurt as a spa day as Brother Ramious tended to your minds to de-stupify you.

I like the idea of us just all sitting around in towels sweating as we're getting therapy from Brother Ramious. Meditating. There are like sauna yurts like that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Sweat like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what has is fine branches We should have done this up record this episode at the baths

This is a totally different thing. It's not a sauna but some of my favorite my favorite memories of being in Hot tubs like a sweet hot tub situation, has been in the snow. Where there's snow all around. Jump up, jump in the snow, and then jump back in. Yeah, that's the best. So fun to be in snowy weather hot tubs. Oh, the best. Ah!

The best! Of course it's the fucking best. Ha ha ha ha. So you continue your journey. the weather's getting brutal, you lost a day with trying to get your minds right, and then the travel is just getting really slow, you don't think you're making any progress, and then eventually you see for the first time in two months, signs of life, signs of some sort of civilization. There's all these little huts. You walk in following a snowy owl

that Buggles saw for the first time when you were having your little breakdown. It's almost like the owl was looking at you, urging you to go forward. That same owl is here, perched on a tree, it then flies into the village and flies to a hut that has three dome shapes to it. It flies in, you follow it, all the way in to Sakawachi's grandmother, Seishu.

She tells you that you are in the village of Aminuit, but you know, some of you are not Sefer, but others know that Aminuit is not on the crown of the world. Something is very strange here, but it is as real as real can get, and all of you are there experiencing this. And she goes on to tell you while speaking to the little snow owl perched on her shoulder, who appears to possibly be Sakawachi, or at least mentally linked to Sakkawachi tells you that you basically captured the last Salmon car, Ainamurin. The Salmon car sacrificed their god to lock a Soyo beneath the ice, built a temple on top of it. The nameless spires surround that temple.

You found the last Salmon-car, Einamorin captured him, dragged him to the nameless spires, and are somehow, Einamorin is being used to free Osoyo. She believes the fact that Osoyo, the nightmare as she refers to him, the fact that Osoyo, the nightmare, as she refers to him, the fact that he or it is not free yet means possibly Aina Morin is still left alive. You need to go there. What you did, you did unwittingly, but now you have a chance to act in your right mind. And pointed to you, Buckles. The god within you will seal the lock. So perhaps Soktawachi's search for a living god was really just leading him to the K'uulakan.

He was right there the whole time, right under his nose. Maybe he was too nice, maybe he was too kind, maybe he just thought there was another way, but he moved on away from you rather than try and sacrifice you or what is within you. But she's made it pretty clear that you are the key. This God within you must be sacrificed. But as she's saying this, the walls of the hut start collapsing and she's like,

oh, you've dwelled in the nightmare for too long. The dream scrapers are coming. You need to defeat them. The world goes black. Let's go to the map. Dream Scrapers. Yeah, you just said a name that I'm writing down. Dream Scrapers.

By the way, given that we are stupefied, the Kulakan could not emerge because I can't unleash my psyche when I'm stupefied. So I feel like when this is said, the Kulakan is raging inside my head, but he can't come out. Oh, interesting. So it's like, and I don't know, maybe he heard this, maybe he didn't. Like maybe this like stupefaction isolates him and shields him from this knowledge. But like, Buggles knows this and he knows that this is a sacrifice that he might have to make.

So. And Ramius, you've traveled with Buggles long enough to know, you know, just by looking at him that he is stupefied, you know, that this is gonna be hard for him to unleash his psyche. What is the that he is stupefied, you know, that this is going to be hard for him to unleash his psyche. What is the, are you stupefied too? Yeah.

Can you help us? I'm stupefied one. The thing you do takes 10 minutes to do, right? It doesn't. No, it doesn't. I said that in the episode. Oh, every 10 minutes. That was wrong.

Yeah. Well, I don't even know. I guess I could just do it over and over. I assumed that it followed the rules of treat wounds, but I guess it doesn't. Yeah, but even still, even if I could just do it in combat and assuming I succeed on every role, it would be like six or seven rounds

just to get through all of us. So like, it's not an option. We're gonna have to fight with it, figure it out as we go. If anybody, if Buggles was stupefied one, I might go do him first. Yeah. Just to get, what? What?

Tired. Just to get him back to zero. Yeah, I don't know. You have to make some decisions. I'm not stupefied. Good. So. Good.

We'll be fine. You had a week to think about your gift from Seishu When she touched you she imbued either your armor or your weapon you guys settled on what those things are What did you end up choosing skit? I took the cold resistance to my cloak cold resistance your cloak Okay, and you went resilience to my chain shirt resilience resilience to my explorers clothing flaming fists flaming fists in this Inky darkness in this nothing in which you are submerged Said that really shows off foundry VT creatures creatures from

nowhere seemed to be in the distance and then They ripped a hole out of this nothingness and They ripped a hole out of this nothingness and appeared before you. You see four large creatures surrounding you that look like this. Ew. Oh. Wow, that's awful.

Oh, come on, man. Are these the dream scrapers? They are like maggot-like creatures with lamprey-like mouths. And if you look closely, it looks like within that mouth are Several eyes like on the back of its throat. It has four very one does excuse me five very creepy Mr. Burns like skeletal and yes, they are burns in extending from its abdomen and then four

Sort of like would you call them? Tentacles? Those are right out of- Barbed tentacles. Dude, is that, what am I picturing in my mind? Is it enemy mine? Is that what that is? There's like a creature that has like a tongue-like thing

on a long appendage and it attaches onto you, just like hooks onto you. My God, I can picture picture it like it's enemy mine Yeah, who's got a junior doesn't have a tongue like that? It's one of what am I thinking of I feel like it's like an 80s sci-fi Yeah, I'll keep thinking about why you think of that role for initiative Roll, rick, a roll. Dreams, scraper.

I've been looking. We're all taking a pen, well, anybody who's stupefied also penalty to initiative. I mean, it's brutal. Brutal. That's real, real, real, real, real bad. Kicking off the F with a natural one for Brother Aby. Oh my god. Take a look at the map. Look at the size of these fucking things. Oh, there's many of them.

Yeah, there's four of them. At least for now. Let's talk initiative. Oh my god, there's so much. I hate these guys so much. Buggles, what do you get? I got a 17. 17. Buggles? No, Bard? 27. 27, I gotta? No, Bard? 27. 27, I gotta update that.

Oh, nice! Brother Ramious? 16. Brutal. And this, I have two Buggles in the initiative, so I'm gonna leave it that way. That works for me. I'll be Buggles too. For some reason I don't have you in there.

I'll be Buggles. Pronounced Boogles. There's a Buggles and a Boogles. All right, I'll add that. Boogles. What did Wuggles two get? Uh, 16. I got 16 also, but not a natural one.

Okay. Well, this is gonna be a real interesting combat. Now, ever since Matthew has left, you have handled combats very well. You made Riddleson look like a damn fool along with his little doppelganger companions. You took out the guest. Lots of combats you've been fine with. This feels a little scary. Also there's a part of you that starts to fear whatever is happening, whatever this world that you entered into

that allowed you to speak to Sesshu in a minute together, the dreaming, you wonder like if you don't survive this, is there a going back? Is your mind trapped in this nothing forever. That is a real fear that I imagine going through your head as these things close on you. And several of them rolled a higher initiative. Oh wow, really? Let's start with so unusual. Oh wow, I'm shocked.

They beat my 16. How did you beat a 16? They must have incredible initiative. Yeah. At ninth level. Exactly. Oh god. How did you beat a 16? They must have incredible initiative. Yeah, I level exactly That's what they're doing what sounded like it hurt All right If they could do me a favor and leave brother Ramia salon, I'd appreciate it, okay Here's what

they're gonna do this one up top is going to go first it is going to it is going to like just fire something at Buggles that is a 22. Oh it's a 22. Oh, it's a miss. Oh, nice. Whoa! Yeah. Misses Buggles. Bad roll.

Thwomps, flies off into the nothingness. It will try again and misses again with a 20. Yeah! I told you we'd be fine. That's a hopeful start. These things suck. Final action. I hate them. It closes on Buggles. That's right next to him. Oh, that's just rude. That's a little rude. Another one of them goes though. The Sothronmost one is going to come after

Gikmak. Let's do this. Gikock, give me a will save. Okay. Okay. That's gonna be 29, and if it's a success, it's a critical success. It is a success. Yes.

So you are unaffected. It's a critical, it's unbelievable. My performer's heart beats loudly in my chest. It too closes on you, squeezing you in there. And one more of them will go, the one nearest to Zephyr. Zephyr, this one is going to close on you first and then do a couple claws. Give me a smooch?

Is it? Terrible roll, 20. Oh man. Realrible roll, 20. Oh man. And then real, real bad rolls. Big mess. Laughable, if you could see back here. And then one more roll, 16.

I mean. Wow. That's it. I made these guys look like. Wow. That's a fumble. Fools. Wow, that's a fumble.

That's a fumble. Okay, so a really, really bad miss. And now it is Gek's turn. Oh, okay, so a really, really bad miss. And now it is Gek's turn. Oh, okay. Get to the fuck. All right, so not bad. I think you guys are gonna be fine. Well, my thing now is this thing is up in my shit

and I need to cast. So I think I'm just gonna have to cast. Because also there's nowhere I can run, like realistically, we're in a void. Like, where am I gonna go? Can we even? Well, you can separate from the creature if you're worried about a reactive strike.

I am, I can take a step. If you have the action economy, yeah. Also looking at it, it looks like maybe it can like, grapple you and then like attach to you. While you're thinking, go ahead and give me a will save. What, it's not even its turn? Why, because I took too long? It's presence alone is very frightening.

I take a step back. That's also gonna be a crit success. It's a different DC. Okay, so that's gonna be a 31. That's gonna be a crit success. Okay, so I will, it ruins my action economy of my spells I will take a step okay To as to not incur anything Then I'm gonna cast

And you're stupefied So don't forget you have to pass a flat check to cast any spell right you lose this Yeah, it's a five plus your stupefied level. Yeah, so I'm only one. So six. But I'm going to cast Courageous Anthem with my lingering composition. Does that need a flat check? It's a spell.

I guess it's a spell. It's a cantrip. The composition cantrip. So give me that flatty. That flatty. Is it a spell? Is it a spell? I mean, it has the tags,

cantrip, uncommon card, composition. Spell. Barely. Scream, scream, scream, scream. Oh boy. She can hear it in her brain. Okay, so you are all gonna get, oh and now let me do my performance check

for my lingering composition. That will cost me one focus for the Lingering, but let's see. Performance. Yabba dee, dabba doo. That's gonna be, um, ba ba ba da, 34. What are you doing? This is the classic, I'm doing it against a DC that you make up. It's my performance

It's for your friends. Yes, that beats the DC. Okay, so then it will be a Regular success. Uh-huh. I just can't crit on this which is annoying. Well, you need to roll a natural 20. That's silly You know, I agree. It's always annoying when you don't roll a natural 20. I wish I did That's gonna be three rounds. You guys will get your plot for courageous anthem Plus pretty good one two status bonus as in a three additional rounds or it's be three rounds. You guys will get your plot for Courageous Anthem. Plus one, two status bonus as a- Isn't it three additional rounds? Or it's just three rounds? I thought of, for some reason I thought it was four rounds.

Okay, nevermind. Well, let me just check- I can hope. Let me just check the wording. Well, we can look it up between rounds. The composition lasts for three rounds. Okay, I don't know why I had four in my head. All right.

That's the- Make things more complicated. I know, I know, I was just hopin'. I was just hoping courageous anthem you guys get a plus one to your attack rolls your damage rolls It's any saves against fear effects. Oh Very nice. Hey That's what was happening, so that's one action and then I'm going to Move my full distance away. Okay. All right, so you fear they I want This one would tell you you didn't they do not take an opportunity

Attack a reactive strike, but don't forget. These are large creatures So even stepping away and moving from there if they had ten foot of reach So take that in mind didn't do it so they don't have a reactive strength Or a trite just think about genius like operating trying on that 3d chest level Well, I just when you took that step I was waiting for one of your friends to tell you just so you know they're a large creature They're probably still proposed, but knowing your friends helped you well I would question their friendship to begin with so discord again that we're gonna start fighting. I'm just saying

You got it right for the wrong reasons Just want you to know. Well, a broken clock is right twice a day. That's true. Unless it's a 24 hour clock. Yep. Well, no, then it's still. It's just right once a day.

I have some thinking I have to do. Okay. I'd like to end my turn. Come back to me. Someone's never been in the army. Get out of here. Get out of here. Get out of here. Sidney Emanuel, not a US soldier. No.

All right, the bad rolls end with Joe. I'm gonna close on Joseph here and I am going to do two claw attacks. I mean, I'm in such bad shape. First one, oh my god. Yes! Yes! That is my third, oh my god!

What was it? It's a 20, miss. 20 miss. Boom, remove. I don't wanna say what it is so you can start doing the math, but that is absurd. I'm gonna stay with this die, it has to, come on! Natural two.

Yes! Three beers! None of them did anything in the first round. Free round! Oh wow. They did close on you, but holy shit. Alright, Bugles, it's your turn. However, I just realized something I messed up. I don't love that I have to do this, but.

So don't. Gek, you succeeded on your save there, right? Yes. Which makes yours a critical success. Yes. You succeeded on your save there, right? Which makes yours a critical success. I need you to roll that will save three more times. This aura coming off of this creature, they're all four of those auras are affecting you. The good news is this is only gonna be a pain in the ass

for this first round for each of you, but it's like your worst save out of these four is going to make you fucked up. And this is happening on my turn because they're all right there. I'm just in the aura. Crit fail for sure. Can you get more opposite of a bottle cap?

You have to take the worst of four rolls. Yeah, that's- All right, well let's see. I critically succeeded. Yeah, and I tell you what, success comes with a penalty. But your successes will be critical. Well, that's not, you know what?

No! No? No, no, no, no. Well, I mean, because you're gonna fail anyway. Yeah. That's true. So the, but we don't know how bad a critical fail condition is.

Okay, so 23. Okay. And if I pass, it's a crit. Okay, that's a pass, it's still a crit. Okay, okay, okay. You almost bombed so bad. I almost kept. Okay, so this will also be a crit.

Okay. Okay. All right. No. There it is. 18? 18. That is a failure. So you're frightened two. Okay, not the worst. I was doing so good.

Oh, you were almost there. A crit, crit, crit. You're gonna do the best out of all of us. A crit, crit, crit fail. Okay, damn, I'm stupid and scared. Jesus. So we're all gonna be frightened too. We're all gonna be basically be stupefied.

You think you're gonna be frightened too, Mo Frayre? No, I'm sorry, frightened four for me. Frightened 19. What's the highest the dice go? Frightened 20. All right, so Buggles, give me 19 will saves. Now four will saves against the frightful presence of this creature.

First one is a 29. All right, so that would make you frightened one on a success. Let's just see. Frightened one on a success? Yeah. 17. All right, so frightened two is winning the day right now.

You just don't want to go on your way up. Don't go lower. Okay, that's a critical success. Okay, good, good, you just don't wanna slowly work on your way up. Don't go lower. Okay, that's a critical success. Okay, good, good, good, you're good. And 27. 27, all right, so you're gonna be frightened too. Okay. Jeez Louise.

So both of you are frightened too. Ooh, I'm frightened too, except for Joe, who looks like he'll be a hundred percent. This is actually one of the fun little meta games we all get to have. Yeah, like we have two. Way to guarantee Joe's critical failure. Maybe you'll, hey, maybe, you have the will

as a crit success same as me, right? But these guys seem like punks. Yup. And that's the problem. I'm not even allowed to get a success because of that stupid feat I got. Oh, I was so excited for that one. Okay, so yeah, Buggles is afraid,

partially because of this like magical effect that's happening, but he's deeply afraid because he is stupefied and he can't make it go away and the Kul'Kan can't come out while he is stupefied. So he's on his own for the first time for a long time, for long term. So instinctively, he's going to use one of his signature spells. He's going to manifest a fire shield, like for long term. So instinctively, he's going to use one of his signature spells. He's going to manifest a fire shield, or try to, because he's stupefied.

Okay, so if I had one or two. Two. All right, so it's a DC seven check. Natural one. Oh! Oh! At least it was on the flat check. Not on the spell.

Okay. Okay, and with my third action, I'm gonna try to raise a normal shield and fail. Oh my God. This is why stupefied is when your party is all casters Well for me too, it's like it completely eliminates every good thing I can do Exactly. You're like completely like out of your element. There's nothing you can do to help us. Yes There is but like the way this encounter is set up

It's it's a stacked deck They swarm on us before we can do anything, right? So then like treating that condition, there's no time, there's no, and people are gonna start losing hit points. Luckily, he missed every attack in the first round or we'd be in a way worse situation. So it's like, I just don't know.

I don't know what to do. It's gonna be really hard trying to decide between hurting these creatures or getting rid of stupefied conditions. It's one or the other, you know? Well it is your turn. Go ahead and start with four will saves. Okay. Do we... all right. I want to take bets on which one is the critical failures. I'm gonna say two critical failures. You're gonna say two critical failures, okay?

I can't say two also, I'll say three. I'm gonna say- Three critical failures. I'm gonna say no, no critical failures. No critical failures, I love it. None. Wow. All right, so two, three. Faith and truth. Not none. Faith and truth. Here we go.

The intersection of faith and truth. Will saves, Will saves pretty good, I will say that. He's got resolute faith. I forget your, are you stupefied? Yes. Okay. I didn't forget it. Here we go. There you go.

Natural two. But what is it? Anybody ever question it? I think it's a critical. And then you get the plus one. It's not a critical fail. I think you have to get a natural one. And you have a plus one. What's your total? 21.

Oh, yeah. Oh, alright, so it's a failure. The failure. Okay. Yeah. So it's just gonna be a natural one. So probably not gonna get three. You still have three more rolls. Natural three. Okay. My god, I am so sick to my stomach about the life I live natural one there it is natural two natural three natural one you have no idea oh my god I mean it's like this is like TPK unbelievable your

healer immediately frightened four for a fight. Oh no. You don't have a cap? You don't have anything? No, I haven't had a cap since 2018. 84 years. Why, I haven't heard of that name. Why, tonight's the anniversary.

Tonight's the anniversary. You are frightened four with that critical failure. Holy shit, you dummy. My god. You dummy. I can't believe it. She calls you a dummy. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. You are frightened for with that First give me four will save such an asshole Buggles and myself have been effectively Neutered is that a word You've been completely stripped of your ability to act as a character. Let's see.

Hope they do cold damage. Let's see. Let's hope they do cold damage. Yeah, I don't know what to do here. I don't know what to do. Bless? That's not gonna stack with Gixx thing. Um, yeah, I don't know what to do here. I don't know what to do. Less? Uh, that's not gonna stack with Gix thing. Right, right, right.

So, uh... Which ends in two more rounds, so... Yeah. Man. I mean, Stupefied, obviously, Skid World 2 fails on DC7 flat checks. They're gonna happen. It's not the end of the world, but it's not good. It's the fact that he can't call on the cool look on.

But maybe this is preparing him for a life without cool. All right, so then let's go balls out here. I'm gonna try to treat Buggle's stupefied condition. I'm gonna use doctor's visitation. Okay, and can you do that from range? Doctor's Visitaish. There it is. I want to see how much, yes, absolutely, buddy.

I want to see how much I can use this. I can just do whatever I want. All right, this is going to be big. So Doctor's Visitation will allow me to move to Buggles. Yep, Stride. And Tree Condition as two actions, even though Tree Condition itself is two actions. Oh, nice.

So the Doctor's Visitation feat I took allows me to get that free move. Awesome. Nice. So free move, then I'm gonna attempt to treat your Condish now. We could turn this whole thing around right now with a crit, right here. That would be pretty great. Crit right here.

That'd be cool. It'd be huge. And that's against the original condition that gave him stupefied, not this fright and stuff. Were you treating both? The original stupefied. I can't treat both. Okay. Honestly man, honestly. I think there's any feats you can treat. You're getting really needy there LaValle. I'm just saying. Usually have to choose. You just have to choose. So I'm gonna choose. Doesn't my fright and go down one anyway? Cause I'm just saying. Usually have to choose. You just have to choose. So I'm gonna choose. Doesn't my Frightened go down one anyway? Because I finished my turn. Yeah so you should be Frightened one now. Yeah can you remove Stupefied? Yeah I can I have the feat to do that. Okay that's

a separate feat that allows you to do that. It's called Holistic Care. Nice. Which I took. Good stacking. Very bad. It's coming out handy. It is. So I just got to get a crit here. Quick crit. Now, and unfortunately I'm so debuffed, but that is a oh it might. I don't know. It's a well it's a 29. No, but that'll bring it down to stupefied. Okay, that's that's stupefied one. And more run to that. Yeah and then I'd be if another round that could be great and then I will attempt to cast To do I don't have that love that you can stride as part of that action. That's really yeah Yeah, that was an awesome story in it when you need it you need it. Oh I just had an idea

Tell us! Oh! What? Tell us. Oh, I'm so stupid! I forgot I have the Cloak of Illusions, the Cloak of Elvintide. Oh. Oh.

So I could have gone invisible and stayed invisible doing all this stuff. Oh, shit. Is it like one action to impact? Oh, it's two actions. Yeah. That would've been perfect. So I couldn't have helped you this round anyway,

even if I remembered it. All right, so yeah, without that I will... One action, I will cast Guidance on Zephyr. Oh wait, that doesn't stack with your thing. Yeah. Sorry guys, I'm just at a loss for that one action. Maybe I can... I gotta stay near Buggles though. Let's see, I move again. Yeah maybe moving because you're in the center of all four of them you know. Yeah brother Ramias in an effort to create some... an effort to create some

space is going to move away. So if any of the creatures want to come and attack him, they'd have to leave Bugles or Zephyr. Oh, that's hard. And with Doctor's Visitation, he can move to you in tree condition again as to actions. House calls. Yes. Okay.

Great. I think that's how it works. Zephyr, go ahead and give me four. Oh shit will say it's your your worst save I believe yep my worst one following along at home First one is a 31 31 Okay, that is a regular success so frightened one Second one is a 21 okay, this is a failure down with the rest of the crew here

except for Gerald, frightened two. 13 on the dice, so it's nothing lower. And then a seven again on the dice, so frightened two. Okay, frightened two. Okay. Two crew. And how do you remove frightened two? Each round, it just goes down.

At the end of my turn, it'll tick down to frightened one. So right now I'm frightened twoened 2, which is awesome. At least I'm not stupefied. Um, alright, so she gets into stumbling stance with her new flaming hand-wrapped glove, uh, gloved hands up in the air. Um, and she does a flurry of blows on the weird dream nightmare thing in front of her. Okay, okay. All right.

All right, come on. Here we go. Dream striper. So that's 22 for the first one. Miss. Wait. 24. Hit.

Yes! Nice! Okay, and then the second one. Like that. The second one is 26. Okay, so you're going to hit the first one. Hit. Yes! Nice! Okay, and then the second one is 26.

So two hits, fortitude save please. And I also get my free deception check, I forgot to do that first before making my hits. To feint? To feint. But that doesn't matter. It would have made it. Oh it does if you crit. Maybe. But I doesn't matter. It would have made it a crit maybe. Oh, it does if you crit.

But I didn't roll it first. OK. You're not going to crit with those numbers. All right, so bad fort roll, 15. Stunning blows. Oh, that's a crit fail. Oh, wow. It's incapacitation effect, though, the stunning blows.

So you'd be stunned three on a critical failure. That's not a spell though, that's a feat, right? Yeah. All right, so then where it's not a spell, the creature is at a lower level than you, and so. Leveling their lower levels than me, so then that one is stunned three, which is- Stun three.

Awesome. That's amazing. This is giving you all the time you need to doctor the field. Absolutely. Hopefully, yeah. Stunning fist. Stunning yeah. Stunned in fists. It's gonna be stunned three.

There's gonna be a lot going on here. So I hit for both of those. So let's see. First hit. So that's six points. Oh no, no, no. 13 points of damage and then five points of fire for the first fist.

And this was all cumulative in the, yeah. And then five points of fire for the first fist. And this was all cumulative in the, yeah. And then a gun, same amount of damage, 13 points of damage plus one more point of fire damage. Big, big hits. Big round from Zef. So like, it's so funny because these things are so frightening, but they come up and they just like, don't hit us. And we're like, do they suck?

I can't tell. And I just like lob one of them in front of me. This feels very Powerpuff Girls. This feels like a very Powerpuff Girls moment. We're punching a bunch of tardigrades. Yeah, with like fiery fists. It's like the city of Townsville. And then I don't.

You know what they kind of look like is in David Lynch's Dune. Oh yeah, the Shy Halute. Yeah. It works. Yes, they do. Kind of looks like the Shy Halute. Except for the arms, hate the arms. Hate the little arms. Hate the skeleton.

So I originally wanted to move out of here because they're all circling Bugles and I, but Bugles did not move. And I don't know if I want to leave Bugles to be surrounded by them. Yeah. You also just did a ton of damage. Maybe I want to leave Buggles to be surrounded by them. Yeah. You also just did a ton of damage. Maybe you want to just keep pounding.

Obviously your map is going to come into effect. Tough call. I'll just do a ton of damage. I guess, yeah, because Buggles didn't move, she doesn't want to leave him here because if she does, they will encircle him, she thinks. She loves Buggles. Yeah. We all do.

So we're just going to try to punch again because she's confident right now whether this is bad or not natural 20 When I say I said in my head 20 right as you rolled the 20 Wow, all right, so let's go to the fan boards here. Yes. Wait, is it definitely a crit? Definitely hits, right? So it's 29 total. Oh, that's hits. That's a crit.

OK. Somebody from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sorry, I already picked somebody from Salt Lake City, Utah. That's what I said. That's the Albuquerque, New Mexico of Utah. Yep. Jordan from Salt Lake City, Utah. This one's called Mr. Lo's Opus.

Oh boy. Oh boy. You're gonna have to sing, I think. You and the party are infused with the power of Nick Lo's bardic melody. Let's go. They are catchy tunes that you just can't shake. If anyone present can sing a non-drop-Niclo song, double damage and the party gets the benefit of,

party? No. That would be insane. The party gets the benefit of heroism heightened to sixth level for two rounds. Wow. Oh my god. Yeah, that's not gonna fly.

Heroism isn't, it's what, plus one? So heightened it would be. What is? Only double damage if nobody sings. Shame on you. Non-drop song. Do you wanna do it? You can do it.

I'm thinking of the one that he did recently on Legacy that I love where it's like, he calls somebody a bitch in it and then he's like, and we bring death! But I can't remember the verse part of it because I just love the chorus. Yeah, I can't remember the words. What are the parameters? There's something and then there's something

and then there's be, be, be, be. Yeah, he's like, we'll bring bitches and we'll- No, you bring. You bring this, you bring that, you bring- You bring that but we bring death All right, so the actual stipulation is If anyone present can sing a non drop Nick Lowe song I mean we did I think combined we also got there That's it, and what do you get?

It says heightened to sixth rank heroism heightened to sixth rank. We can't even cast sixth rank spells. It's a plus one, heroism is a plus one status bonus to attack rolls, perception checks, saving throws, and skill checks. So it doesn't stack with her song already, it would just... Heightened to six is a plus two. It would add a plus one to perception and skill checks. And heightened to six is plus two, which isn't that crazy. Okay. You want to give all four of us plus two to attack Saving Throw's skill checks perception.

For how long? It said 2 for 10 minutes. Why is this a discussion? It is the crit that I uphold. It said 2 rounds. For 2 rounds. Sorry, the spell is 10 minutes. Bloody Blades, the family they slayed On the night that the bugbers came To show that they were real All right, so now you did the actual stipulation.

The bloody blades So plus two to attack rolls, skill checks, perception checks, and saving throws for two rounds. Is it double damage? And double damage. Double damage, all right, here we go. On the night that the night publish food that they were Songs are so good Oh, no, yeah, wait 13 fire will doubled 13 points of damage plus one fire damage

Do I double the fire damage as well? Yeah, so then I got you 26 points of damage 20 to fire damage I got you. 26 points of damage plus 2 fire damage. Damn. 28. Bam! Nice round, Zephyr.

Right in the dome! Yeah, it's a big action round. Right in the eyes, right in the center of its mouth. Do you have one more action? That was all three of them. I got into my stance. Stance, right. Or your blows, regular blow.

All right, round two will be coming up. Right after this quick break. Quick break. and I'm going to be back. It's me, your brain. And I, your mouth. I act on logic. I act on taste. For me, Pizza Hut's Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza with Spicy Fried Chicken, Pickles, and Creamy Ranch Drizzle is confusing. To me it sounds good. Pickles on pizza? Amazing.

It shouldn't work, but it's so good. Try the Nashville Hot lineup at Pizza Hut. Your mouth will get it. Folks, we're back! It's round two. So far, these guys seem pretty easy. But let's see what they do on their second round through. All of you are various levels of frightened. Don't forget at the end of your turn, those frightened go down by one.

You're still dealing with stupefied some of you. Those only go down if Ramias says so Let's start with the one right next to Buggles here Yeah, I'm just gonna go right back to the well and see what happens I will switch dice up just to See if that matters here comes a claw Yeah, that's probably a crit with a 36. Yeah, that is a crit. Alright, so it came back around as it tends to do.

That is going to be 36 points of void damage. Oh boy. I'm going to use the shield block, so that'll take five points off of that. Okay. 31 points of damage. Do you have to have the shield raised? I did. Okay.

Casting the cantrip shield like automatically. Oh, okay. And you didn't fail the stupefied check on the shield. Oh, fuck. Never mind. Yeah, I forgot. Alright, so 36 points of damage. Let's see how claw number two does. That's a miss with an 18. And then,

let's see here. I'm gonna have this one kinda interpose itself between you and Brother Ramius. And then the- You know what? It's just gross. Disgusting. To be a part of.

Nasty. You want me to take a third attack and get a 20 on four of my- I think that was being nice. I think that was being pretty nice. The one down here is going- Funny how it knows what we were planning to do. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and it has to pass through the center. There you go, now I'm flanking. Alright so, off guard minus two. That first one's gonna be a 27 against your off guard AC.

Regular success. Juicy damage, 16 points of void damage. One more attack with the map. Misses! Not hitting with that map. And I'll tell you what, these should hit. I'm just rolling. Shite! And then number three, you know what, he's gonna do the same thing. He's right there, he's getting that sweet sweet. Oh no, he's gonna do nothing. Oh, he's stunned three. Stunned! He's gonna take a round off. He's

so stunned by what's going on here. Stunned! The bird's flying around his head. He loses the sun condition. You stunned him just to see who's waking up? It's Gic Muckster. Come on, Gic. Do something amazing. I wanna do something interesting. But maybe I should just do a normal spell. But I am stupefied and I'm worried

that I'm gonna lose my big spells. So, all right. How about this, let's throw interesting as a word out the window. Throw a spell out the window. Effective. Right, right, right, right. Something effective. Something that works.

Sure, mostly spell casters is the thing. So, she, Gic is gonna feel on her neck and like dig into her explorer's clothing and pull from her necklace She has this like necklace with these little bobbles hanging off. She's gonna pull one off and It's a kyber crystal. She's gonna lob it Just south of hers so that it when it bursts and it's 20 foot bursts It will hit the two creatures and not Zephyr

so she's just gonna throw it kind of directly down okay that's usually AC 5 that's what it was in the fast pass so you actually have to roll to hit that area yeah it says up to the GM's discretion okay just to roll higher than a 5 don't add anything to it flat check or gonna flat check or? Give me a flat check. We'll just do that. Okay. 18. Okay. Uh. Crit. Double damage.

So, as an interact, I detach it. After I activate it, if you or anyone else hurls it as an interact action, so I guess second action, hurl it. Okay. Just trying to follow the rules of this. It detonates as a fireball. So that's what I was.

Necklace of fireball. Necklace of fireball. So that's what I was. Well, necklace of fireballs. Necklace of fireballs. So you need some reflex saves from Mwah. Does the item have a set DC? The item have a set of the right DC. Or is it based on your? Yes. Okay, great.

It does. Let me make sure this is, yes, it does. And not be affected by frightened. Oh, cool. All right, I got it here. It's called Frozen Lava right now now looking back at the legacy version they've been replaced from like necklace of fireballs one two and three to frozen lava of black peak frozen lava of chum-snob pale mountain. Here we are in the tundra and I'm doing frozen lava. That's

fun. I love it. Now it does more damage. Let's do the basic one. Five D six, DC 21. I'll roll two reflex saves. First one I rolled a 30 one, so that's gonna be a crit success. And the next one I rolled a 30. So regular success. Okay, so that's gonna be 19 points of damage.

Halved. Total, so halved. Halved to one of them. Nine. Nine. Okay. Would it be nine? 19 points of damage total. So halved. Halved to one of them. Nine. Nine. Would it be nine? Yeah. Nine points of fire damage to one of them.

Which one did I damage? The one that flanked Zephyr. The one in the center? Okay. Ugly. Ugly. Shoot. Okay, so I only have one action left.

It's kind of cool with the new update to Foundry Virtual Table Hop. Ugly. Ugly. Shoot. Okay, so I only have one action left. It's kind of cool with the new update to Foundry Virtual Table Hop. If you hover over a creature, you can see its path so far in the fight. Yeah. It tracks where you've moved so far. They've obviously also added this D20 around whose turn it is.

Yeah. That is cool. It's fun. My Him of, or my courageous anthem is still going going so I can't do any more of my composition so instead I will just Cast shield and do my flat check to see if I put my shield up as much sure I don't do Eight just barely whoo just barely and then my fright and goes down one someone yep all right it is a this last dream Scrapers turn. They will interpose themselves between

Gikk and Buggles and try to waste Gikk. I believe it can't get me through the night. Here comes the first attack. That's a 34 against your AC. Not a crit. Okay, very good. So instead it's just going to be 14 points of void damage. I have the hardness of five, so I'll take the five off and the shield breaks, right?

Yeah. Shield destroyed, and you'll only take nine points of damage. And then second attack, 24. 24 misses. 24 misses. 24 misses, right. So juicy ACs here are really helping. Wow. That's impressive.

Alright, so you guys are holding your own. Obviously, Buggles has taken a big, big hit, and it is Buggles' turn. Okay, still, you can wait if you want, if Ramius,... You can delay. Uh, yeah, I'll delay. Okay. So Arrhenius, I'll move you up in the Anish.

Awesome. Awesome. Uh, sorry in advance if I don't save you. Uh, here we go. He's gonna move up to Bugles. Uh, he'll move around the creature. Foundry's making me be very, uh... Exacting.

Exacting about my movements. What a horrible a horrible situation. It's a horrible situation You know, I'm trying to imagine because it's like no one would do this In the narrative right like run between the two of these things to be like hey get your head in the game I thought You would have to have to voluntarily like yeah put yourself between two of these horrible creatures well I think the irony is that it's because of his frightened three condition that he's doing this he's basically like not even looking at the creatures and he's just like the cool icon will save us the cool icon will save us and he just like comes up to

Buggles like like kind of out of his mind and he's like we get your head in the game we need you and he's like, we get your head in the game, we need you. And he's like blinders on, like not looking at the creatures, just focusing on Buggles. And that heroism is gonna come in huge to give him a boost to this medicine check. Oh, nice. To try to get over that. It was that stupefied DC that I'm trying to beat right now. Yes, have it. Here we go.

That is a 24. Have it here we go that is a 24 Why do you do that to yourself fucking I just am so hate stinking all right And then I will I'm gonna do a recall knowledge on these guys So give me the skill Malt occultism would be the main one. You could talk me into another lore. I'll do Occultism and I'm going to utilize my incredible improvisation and get a plus four circumstance bonus to the role. And then all...yeah, plus four circumstance bonus to the roll And then all

Yeah, plus four circumstance and you used all your bonuses on that 24 you gave me right there were no other plus ones or plus twos the heroism No, I had the heroism is factored into that I rolled shitty. Yeah. Yeah, I rolled shitty Let's check him. Yeah Yeah, I don't think there was another way so alright here we go occultism check natural three He's out of his mind he knows nothing he can do nothing and he's just gonna get trounced now by these two things. It's Buggles' turn. But his Frightened condition goes down one.

Hey! Hey! Yeah, so Buggles is like, Ramius comes up and says, Come on, you gotta step out! And I'm like screaming, panicking, I'm like, what the hell? And it does not help at all.

I'm going to try again to, a protective instinct, like to two cast Fire Shield on myself. Okay. Natural 20. Okay, like to cast Fire Shield on myself. Okay. Natural 20. Okay, you did it. Okay. You did it. So this circle of flames erupts around my body.

Nice. And with my third action, I am gonna do, gosh, what could I do? You know, I'm gonna try, I'm gonna do a gosh, what could I do? You know, I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna do a knowledge check. Okay. Natural 19. Wow. That is a 32. Ooh! Okay.

Yeah, so these are creatures known as dream scrapers. They invade the dreams of sleeping mortals to literally scrape at their dreams and steal them. When I hit you, I forgot to have you roll a will save for said effect, but I won't forget it again. Oh, wait. I'm sorry. You don't tell me anything.

Okay. Because I, instead of that, I didn't realize that I had to use the raise shield action to raise the fire shield. So You know, I do that instead of the knowledge. Well You know too much Yeah, that's fine. I narrative so far I biffed the thing that I was supposed to do So it's no big deal because I'm sure it'll happen again Zephyr Flurry of blows on the one in front of me that I hit already. Yeah, real quick though off deception check What's the first one? What's the second one? What's the third one? What's the fourth one? What's the fifth one? What's the sixth one?

What's the seventh one? What's the seventh one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one?

What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one?

What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth one? What's the eighth. I 35 for the first one. Oh shit

And then For the second one. It's a 24. 24 is a hit. So oh nice So critical hit regular hit fortitude save, please. Okay fortitude save is a you're still stunned 29 Um, that's a pass but this one's still stunned for like it was stunned three the last time I hit it But now it's not stunned at all. It's a pass, but this one's still stunned for like, it was stunned three the last time I hit it. But now it's not stunned at all. It's still stunned. How does stunned tick down?

Each action you lose is one. So it lost three actions. Oh, okay, all right, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't become stunned. More stunned, but stunned again rather. Right, right, right, right, right. Okay, so. Stunned in.

Double damage. Double damage on the first one. Remember the fire will double as well. We've got... We should really get you another D6. That's a trick. Well, you can't roll them together. Yeah, she doesn't wanna chip them.

They're chipped. You can't roll them together. She doesn't wanna chip them. It's a chip. It's obsidian Joe. Joe, it's obsidian. It's obsidian. We're doing a show, Kate. I just did it. So that's 20idian, Joe. Joe, it's obsidian. It's obsidian. We're doing a show, Kate.

I just did it. So that's 20 points of damage and then six. It's 20 plus six doubled? I doubled it just now. Okay. So 20 points of damage plus six points of fire for the first one that just doubled. Okay.

And the second one is 16 points of damage. Okay. And then two points of fire. Excellent. All right, so you really fucked it up. All right. These things have a lot of hit points. Yeah.

I don't want to move because I don't want to leave Bugles and Ramius here. I'm going to try to hit this one one more time to see if it goes down. If it doesn't, I got to move out of flanking. Killing one of them would really help get you out of off guard. I'm gonna try with the highest map. That's a d6. That's a d6. I was like, oh well, fuck. That's the wrong guy. You're nerfing yourself there. 22 to hit. You have heroism on there, right?

Heroism, yeah I have it checked on Hero Lab so it should be adding this all. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you make it 6th level heroism which you have to- I did, I made it to 6th rank. Okay, great. So that one misses. Which is fine. And I gotta, I gotta move. I'm gonna move around to the back of this one. So this, they still hit me, but

maybe I won't be flanked. So you kind of get out of there and, uh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Make them come to you. Yeah. Go to the top of round three. It's the one up here next to Ramius and Buggles Let's do a claw attack on Ramius That's a 25 That's a hit Lucky so it's 12 points of void damage And now for the first time in three rounds, I won't forget it's a-

Oh, is this the one you didn't forget on? This little ability. That's interesting. Give me a will save. That's interesting. Give me a will save. Come on. Remius, you gotta pass one of these, buddy.

You got his will save so good. There we go. 31, there you go. You're fine. You're fine. You're fine. You live forever. You're fine. You're fine. You're fine. You live fine. Fine. Fine second attack

That is probably a mess 24 it Yeah, Remus in rough shape. Okay, so that bad damage 11 points of void Let me just Yeah, I'm sorry, I need another will save. Really? Yeah. It's the same creature. I know, I hate this. So much. Huh.

Oh no. You always have to plush. With the plus, with the plus. You always have to make everybody roll everything a million times. I know. I took two rounds off of it. Yeah. Not at all for me.

24. 24, you're fine. Oh great. Oh man. Uh, alright so third action... I'm not gonna say anything, I'm gonna be nice. I'm gonna be real nice. I'm just gonna roll again. I'm not gonna say anything.

Uh, that is a 24. I think you forgot to minus 10! Sorry, the good rolls are coming out now. It's 15 points of void damage. Go ahead and give me another will save. Oh, every time? 25. Did you say 14? Uh, I don't know if I said 14. I think you said 15 points of void damage. Are you okay? No, I'm not okay! I don't know if I said 15 points. I think I said 15, yeah. Void damage.

Are you okay? No, I'm not okay. I'm not okay. He did half my hit points. I'm not okay. All right, this one, down to the south-west, will move up to flank Buggles, and then it will flank Buggles and then will claw Buggles. Or attempt to at least.

A dirty 20 against your off guard. That is a miss. Okay. Nice. And then second one came back around. Oh my God. My map rolls have been so good. It's a 32 against off guard.

That is a hit. Okay. 14 points of void. Okay, and I'm gonna do shield block. Okay. So that'll take all of it. Oh great. And you take 12 points of fire damage.

Cool. 12 points of fire damage. Okay great. So where you didn't take any of the damage, I'm not going to have you roll the will save. Oh great. Yeah, that makes sense. And that was I moved attack twice. And now the one that Zephyr feels like she was very close to killing will attempt a dream barb from range at you here. And that is going to be a 33. Success hit. Dream.

16 points of void damage. And give me a will save. Oh, God. Um, 28. You're fine. I'll do it again. Uh, 23. Miss. Okay. And then I will...

Oh, let's just do that to have fun here. Oh, my God. Really? Why? Oh no. Squish and ramus and Buggles from Zephyr. What I didn't want. Backed up making Zephyr have to move towards him.

Gic. Are you fawning? Fawning? What? Is that a verb? I think you mean fainting? No, he seems fine. Are you doing the thing where we can touch you,

can Buggles touch you? Divine Fawn? No, I can't do that anymore because of thing where we can touch you? Can Bugles touch you? Divine Fawn? No, I can't do that anymore because of the... Are you fawning? Because of what? The environmental casting. The environmental...

He uses so much of his spell slots, yeah, for that. Five high level spell slots a day. Okay. Um... Got! Which was the one that just attacked Ramius? Or actually, which one has been taking the most damage? The one Zephyr's been?

The one furthest away from you. The furthest away from me. This one to the south. Yeah, we need to not, we need to. In fact, the one next to you and the one to its right haven't been hit at all. Yeah, this sucks. Okay, I'm going to try to cast something, even in this void space, Gic can still produce sound.

We're not in a vacuum. And so she is going to, bub bub bub bub bub, try to manipulate the air and cast painful vibrations on the one to the south that has been damaged by Zephyr. Let's see, I'm gonna roll, cause I'm stupid. I pass. I'm gonna need you to make a fortitude save.

All right. That is gonna be a 19. That is a failure, DC 27, so not a critical failure, although that would be awesome. Cry. You, the one to the south, is gonna take 29 sonic damage as it's brain, or I don't know if it has a brain. It's inner organs are hit with this sound,

and you will also be sickened one and deafened one for a round. He will not because he is dead. Yeah! There we go. One down, let's go. There we go. Woo!

Burned him to the ground. Nicely done. Two actions. Now he finally is like Mr. Burns. Ah! Oh shoot, two actions. I can't do my Hymn of Healing. This is the last round of my Courageous Anthem.

Take a note of that there, Kate. Got it. Shoot, shoot, shoot, no one action. You should probably start dirging some doom. I can't do it, I mean I could start now, but it's gonna cancel my. Yeah, I don't know, I'm like, we'll talk it out. Okay.

The plus one plus one to Zephyr is nice. We have heroism. We have heroism for another round. We don't benefit from it at all. We don't hit really like that. Okay. I guess you do immolate. Yeah.

But you haven't unleashed yet. Well, it doesn't matter. I'd still be doing it, even if I can't unleash. So we can wait for another round. But getting these things all frightened also lowers their saving throws for everything too, which is huge. All right, so then my second,

my last action, I should say, I'm going to move away. Okay. From the creature. I kill you. And just a little bit, a little bit. And that first thing you did was only one action? No, it was two.

That was my spell. Yeah, that's my turn. Okay. Well, that might be smart, because the one nearest you, it's its turn. There's only three left. This one has not been touched. And this one's gonna close on you.

Ooh. Kind of leaving. You drew it off. I drew it off. You're so brave. Leaving the pack. S. And let's get back to the claws.

Absolute rocks. That's gonna be a 34. Okay, hit, not a crit. That's great. I mean, that high AC is- That's great, that's not a crit. That's 20 points of void damage. Ouchy, I was gonna do shield too, whatever.

Go ahead, give me a will save. Sorry. I don't like it any more than you do. I don't like it any more than you do. I don't like it any more. That's bad. That's gonna be a 21. Is that a pass? Final answer?

Yeah. Sure. Wait. You're not gonna do some extra math and come up with 29 or 18? 22. That's why I asked. Oh wait, wait, and we have heroism.

You don't just have heroism. I didn't put it on yet. 24. I mean, don't bother now. She didn't put it on yet. She was waiting. There's a proper time and a place to be doing stuff like this. It hasn't arrived yet. Quick question.

I'm just going to throw this out there. What do you do on everyone else's turn? I look at my spells and I think, Yo, your spellcaster is hard. And then you guys keep everyone else's turn? I look at my spells and I think, Joan, your spellcaster is hard. And then you guys keep moving on your turn, I'm like, I have a great plan, and then he moves the enemies. And then I'm like, fuck! And then I go back and look at my spells. 24 is my final answer.

You're fine. Wow. Nice. Glad I asked. Glad you asked. Glad you asked. Thank you. Here comes another attack. Uh oh. Missed with an act two. Oh, thank you. Okay. All right, so that's the end of its turn.

This is a huge sort of gauntlet of PCs that need to start doing some damage here, but Ramius, you've now spent several rounds trying to help Buggles, the DC. You failed on a 22 last time, I think. Biffed roll. 24. 24, okay.

All right, so you know you're close, but. Biffed roll. Biffed roll. 24. 24, okay. All right, so you know you're close, but. Biffed roll. Biffed roll. Just biff again. I'm also buying time. My Frightened Four affects all my spell DCs, so there's no point in casting anything at them while my DC is at low.

Well, now we're getting back to where that's gonna be fine now. Because now you're like, you'll be Frightened Two at the end of this, right? No, I'll be Frightened One at the end of this. right? No, I'll be frightened one at the end of this. I'm frightened two now, but it doesn't stack with the stupefied. So this is where my DC would be anyway. Okay, so that's where things start to change.

So I might start attacking them, but I mean, I think the difference of having the Kaula Khan be able to come out with a melee, immolate, or whatever it is, would be huge. So he's gonna try. He's gonna try one last time, I think. Okay, he tells you it's the last chance you're gonna get. We need him! Uh, come on. I will soothe your mind by screaming in horror in your face. Come on, baby. Natural two.

Oh! That's it. He threw it. He threw it. I'm done with that one. Never again. He threw it. I'll never roll it again. I'll never find anything. Then... My god. Uh, I can't believe... I can't believe it. I'm done with that one. Never again. I'll never roll it again. I'll never find anything. Then.

My God. I can't believe, I can't believe it. And then I will leave, I guess. Nothing like this has ever happened to you before. I know. Unbelievable. You go hide behind the nothing? Hide behind the nothing?

Face me, Ka-Bor. You need me, I'll be under the nothing! Uh, yeah. Can you punch him? Any offensive cantor? Punch, punch him. Yeah, he is just going to... Well, can I try recall knowledge again against the same creature if I use a different...

skill? Okay, then I'm... I'll tell you what, it's not gonna help you though. Well, maybe it would help you a little. Yeah, because I'll tell you what I'm curious about is, I think it's weird that they do void damage. We're in a void. And I wonder, yeah, and I wonder if doing void damage

means that they would be susceptible to like- To vitality. To like vitality kind of damage where like there are things where you know what I mean? But I highly doubt they're undead. They could be affected by vitality. Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out. Because I have like vitality lash and stuff like that. But I also have spells that they don't I can tell you as a practiced theologian, there's nothing about these that give off an undead vibe.

I get that, but some spells say if a creature like, is damaged by vitality or whatever, they take extra... Anyway, alright, I got you. Is that enough? I got you. I appreciate it, you're very kind, man. I'm going to move away. Okay.

Just again to create space in the battlefield battlefield and hopefully they need to move to attack me and move away from Buggles. Speaking of Buggles, Buggles, you are, there's a corpse of one of these things and you are flanked on either side. Flanked on either side, surrounded by a circular curtain of flame. If you try, pop, he's going to do an ignition. One of these more hurt than the other? The one to the left.

Okay, so he's gonna do that. Do the stupefy. More hurt is the strong. Made the stupefy, flat check. Okay. Nine. And that is a 31 to hit. 31 to hit. There you go. Okay. Big hit.

And this is a nice melee ignition. And that is 26 points of fire damage. Shaboom. Okay. Big chaos. This is a nice melee ignition. And that is 26 points of fire damage. Shaboom! Okay. And With my third action, raise the shield again. Okay. Do you have to roll for the raise shield or the shields? No, because it's already cast. I just have to raise it. Right. Great. Zephyr. Huge round! Zephyr spends one moment to harmonize herself

and gain 32 hit points. Amazing. Using a spell slot. Let me just get that, heal 30, and then heal, I mean, focus point. Heal 32, great. Oh, nice, I'm at full now. Sweet, dude. And then she's going to use her full complement

of her amazing monk movement to move and get into flanking on the other side of this icky guy that's been hit already. So now that one's flanked and now Buggles is not flanked, right? No, Buggles is flanked. Oh, I thought because if something is flanked it can't flank something else. He's still threatening. No, unfortunately no. I'm basically fine. He's still threatening. Unfortunately, no. I'm basically fine.

With this fire shield, I'm in no case shaped. All right. Cool. So. Behind the icky. Yeah, I remember Professor Eric writing up a thing on your file sheet when we lost Barnes, and being like, there could be times where Buggles,

like single-handedly, could eat a couple rounds of attacks like a tank. Yeah, I could be like a fire shield. With the fire shield, that could be a tank for sure. Yeah, so cool. So, quick deception. I'm not decepting them. They have a lot of eyes in their mouth.

They have like 10 eyes in their mouth. So the first Gloria blows is a 26. Yeah. To hit, the second one is a 26 again. Wow. That's good. 42 save. 42 save, please.

Um, 33 on the, excuse me, 23 on the fourth. Oh, that's a fail, so that one stunned one. Stunned one. Huge. Absolutely stunning. Absolutely stunning. It gives me less to have to do. Absolutely stunning.

Stunning. Seven, 13, 13 points of damage, four points of fire damage for the first fist. Okay. And then 13 points of damage, four points of fire damage for the first fist. Okay. And then 13 points of damage, five points of fire for the second fist. Very good, Zebra, you're on a whole other level now. This fire shit, it's so great.

And that was three actions. All right. Healing, the move, the hits. We're going into round, just playing the hits right now. Round four. Playing the hits all night. The Dream Scraper, just playing the hits right now. Round four. Playing the hits all night. The Dream Scraper who has not taken a single hit will attempt to unleash on Buggles here. Against Buggles off guard AC but he does have that fire shield so it

could end up hurting him. That might be a miss with a 21 to start. That is a miss. Even against off guard and then he comes back around, a continuing trend of good second attacks with a 31. That is a hit. All right, go ahead and give me a- And I will raise shield. All right, go ahead and give me a will save. Well, let's see if-

Oh yes, that would be 17 points of void. Okay, so that is all absorbed by the shield. Amazing. And- Amazing. You take 10 points of fire damage. All right, yeah, I'm gonna continue to rule that. You weren't touched by the damage. Why should you have to roll against this?

All right, 10 points of damage. All right, so it has been hit. It comes back at you. Wait, that was two attacks. I'll throw a third one in first. It goes misses on the third attack. The next turn at one, it is that one's turn. That one is going to start by going after Zephyr. Zephyr misses with a 21.

I'll throw one back at you again. Misses with a 16. Holy crap. And then I'll turn on off-guard guard bugles with my lowest map here. 20. Miss. Alright, so miss, miss, miss. Huge opportunity here.

Get muck. You are next to one of these things. You drew it away. Yes. So, here's my issue now. Excuse me, I couldn't have taken that third attack. I was stunned once, so now I'm no longer stunned. Oh, right, right.

But I could not take that attack. Here's my issue. I am just out of reach for my Dirge of Doom for the furthest one now that I moved. I know, when you moved, I was like, I know, but I had to. So now I wonder, if I waste an action moving, then I need to spend the other action, Dirge of Doom,

then I have one more kind of useless action, or I could do Dirge of Doom here and then do some more stuff, but just not be able to hit that guy. So what do we think is more beneficial? What's the other thing you would do? A spell. Damage. Yeah, maybe that's fine because.

No, I would do Dirge of Doom. Move and do Dirge of Doom? Yeah, why not? Well, the question is what are you gonna do with that move action a spell? I would do dirt because there's doom is only one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what's the range in your dirge linger it though? But that's still only one actually it doesn't matter. I am it's interesting dirge of doom linger I don't know if that actually helps Because the enemies within the area are frightened one, and they can't reduce their frightened value below one while they remain in my area.

So for three rounds without spending actions, they'd stay frightened one if they're anywhere near you. What's the range on your Durge of Doom? 30 feet. It's like just, I think he's like 32 feet. Well, the one that's really hurt is within range. Yeah. I think it's worth it. I'm just going to do it and then hit that one. So you can hit two of them.

Yeah. All right, so I'm going to do lingering composition with Dirge of Doom. And that still just takes one action. It takes one action. I remove one more focus point. Remove if you have any buffs on from her, whatever. Yeah.

And I'm stupefied, so I need to roll to do Dirge of Doom. Natural one. I'm going to bottle cap it. OK. Oh, god. Because I'm annoyed that I rolled that. Yes,. I'm gonna bottle cap it. Okay. Oh God. Because I'm annoyed that I rolled that. Yes, I'm annoyed. Oh yeah.

I'm annoyed as well. I'm annoyed for you and at you. Natural one. Okay, good night everybody. I'm... Oh my God. I'm... That's like the worst though,

when you're like a spell caster and like you come up with this like algebraic equation of like things you wanna do in your head and then you finally go to like roll it after saying it and then you just like fucking fail. I have another bottle cap but it seems insane to use it on a flat. I'm not allowed. Oh right yeah. I thought you just fucking use it. Yeah use it. No. Use it. No.

It's worth it. No it's not. It's worth it. Okay so wasted my action can't cast that spell because I'm dumb Oh Wait a minute What? You just use that oh What you just use that on lingering composition?

So you can still cast urge of doom just not lingering it's they're together because lingering. No, they're not. It's a free action that's a spell shape action. Then you must immediately take another action to one of your cantrips. OK, but spell, it has the trait spell shape. Yeah. So you can only do one. So you're saying that counts as casting a spell.

Yeah. Because that's what you're casting. For a free action. do one. That's what I was thinking. Well then do I have to roll twice when I do lingering composition and Dirge of Doom? You don't have to roll for Dirge. No, no, no. A flat check when I'm stupefied. You're saying I would have to roll twice. Stupefied is horrible for us, for spellcasters. It's brutal. Alright, watch this. Dirge of Doom. Natural 2. 1, 1, 2. Wasted that turn. There's your doom. Natural two.

So wasted that turn. Use that cap. Nope. I'm burning for you. How mad would you be if I was like, I fifth level summon dragon. Bring a dragon into the playing field. I can't. I'd be psyched.

Okay. I am gonna do, you know what? I'll do, I'm be psyched. Okay. Hahaha! Uh, I am gonna do... You know what? I'll do... I'm gonna do slow. I'm gonna cast slow. That's good. On... Alright, so that failed stuff, how many actions did that... One. ...four minutes take?

No, it's just one. Just one? One action. Now for my next two actions, I'm gonna attempt to cast slow. Okay. And I'm gonna do it on... Honestly, the one closest to me. Okay. So, flat check? Hahaha! Yeah, let me... Flat check. Slow and I'm gonna do it on Honestly the one closest to me, okay

so flat check Yeah, let me check these turns is fly by let me do a flat check Why with all these flat checks flake and you'll miss it. I miss I passed the flash check so fortitude safe, okay? You get the diet of my hand clenched with anger Fortitude 22 fail nice Man, so clenched with anger. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha take two Klautaks. Ha ha ha! First one. Natural one. Hey!

Hey! There we go. All right. Now I'll give you a chance for the city. Where do you want to go? Albuquerque. Albuquerque, New Mexico. Yeah.

Albuquerque, New Mexico. The monger, the rumble, the dancing tumble, and rumble. All right. We got Dan from Colorado Springs. and sing a tumble and tumble. All right, we got Dan from Colorado Springs. Damn! Colorado is nearby. That's on the way if you're driving from Denver to Albuquerque. Yeah. You could stop over, visit the Air Force Academy or even Garden of the Gods.

There you go. Existential dread. As you attack, you suddenly realize the gravity of the situation in taking a life. You're plagued with internal dread. Sounds like the doom actually worked. Your attack misses, Rolla will save. Oh.

Funny that this creature has a- 29. Real deep feelings. 29 is a success. You are frightened one. My doom worked. It worked. It did work.

It worked. It's so funny if you play it like you actually fired it, but you didn't, you're like, I guess I did! I'm like, I thought it didn't feel like it happened. Slowed one and frightened one, and it misses on its last attack. Nice. And that's all it can do.

It's just got those two actions. I'll leave the frightened on, even though it's supposed to end at the end of its turn, it happened mid-turn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be the classy move. What a class act! Classy! Brother Amius. It's supposed to end at the end of its turn. It happened mid-turn. Yeah. Yeah, that would be the classy Jack Nicklaus of the Pathfinder sir class act all the way

Real class act All right. What do you want to do? I'm gonna go ahead and just open guys shits and gigs I'm gonna stop rolling dice. I'm still, oh, I have to roll dice. Why? Uh, be- Don't do that. Why?

Your downfall. He is going to pray to the keeper to save us from this nightmare and destroy these creatures with divine wrath. Okay. I'm suffering a penalty from my stupefied condition which hurts the DC. I'm going to try it anyway if I can. Okay, made the flat check. Barely! And now I need a fortitude save. From which one? All of them? All of them. Okay. It is

a... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me double check it. I think we're good. Yeah, 20 foot burst. They're good. Alright, so they're all in the 20 foot burst. They're all in the 20 foot burst Alright, so we're gonna start with the one near Gek and then we're gonna go clockwise clockwise around fortitude Start with Gek clockwise around. Yes. Alright, so this one is a lower fortitude from the frightened. Hmm and I rolled a 25 That is exactly a success because I'm stupefied. OK.

That's half. That's half. Yeah. All right. The next one, the one to the right of Buggles, rolls a 24. Fail. Fail. Nice.

And then the one between Buggles and Zephyr rolled a 14. Critical fail! So success, fail, crit fail. Success, fail, crit fail. Phenomenal rolling, Lavallee, thank you so much. You're very welcome. Oh, it was on a 10. Oh, terrible damage!

You guys, you can't keep saying it was on a 10. The dice are gonna keep rolling. That's how they work. It was, you saw the dice are gonna keep rolling Shut up Right your success takes points of spirit damage Your failures take 15 points. Well, I only have one failure. Your one failure, 15 points. And your critical failure, 30 points of spirit damage. Nice.

That one is dead. Not dead! That was the one that was hit the most. Two down. And the one that failed is also sickened one. Okay. Nice. Okay, okay, okay. The sickening. One action left, right, okay? The sick one action left right or was that three I know one action left and I

Will those huge yeah, I should have done that from round one Well, I wanted my DC to get lower that other one would have succeeded if I did it last round. Yeah, I Will now that hurt thing is done. I'll cast guidance on Zephyr So Zephyr to get a plus one to hit. Guidance on Zephyr, but not on Kate. On Zephyr, that's correct. I don't guide Kate, Kate blazes her own path. I don't need guidance. A trail blazer.

Fuggles. Thank you for the guidance. Surrounded by carcasses no longer off guard. What do you wanna do? I'm going to try to cast an icy ignition. Okay. My cold damage now, my alternate alternating. Damage types.

Got it exactly with a six. Woo! Woo! Good thing you removed at least one. Good thing I did that tree condition earlier, huh? 34 to hit. Wow. That is a critical hit.

There it is! Yes! We're turning it? 34 to hit. Wow. That is a critical hit. There it is! Yes! Turning it around. Critical hit. There it is. There it is. Ta-da! Buggles in slow motion.

Amazing. Okay. Okay, that is 56 points of damage. Wow. Hold it. 56 points of damage. That guy's finally fucked up. Piss.

You got one action left, fire shield? One action left, raise fire shield. Smart. Zephyr, your buddy Gic is been a little licked at up there. Oh, I got her. You got her? Zephyr moves up to flank with Gic. Oh yeah.

I'm the one that is trying to mess with her. What just got? Real quick deception check. Oh. Ooh, 29. Success. Or no, it's a 30 because I get a plus one circumstance. Success.

Cool. So it's off guard? You're off guard against both of my Flurry of Blows attacks, but then now you're already off guard. So that was kind of a waste. We've wasted everybody's time. It's good to learn how it works. So 21 for the first one.

Okay, mi arse. Wait, let me see. Oh, 22 for the first one. Okay, no, it's not a miss because it is frightened. I left the frightened on, so it's AC is down by one, and then down another two more for off guard. So that is a hit. Nice. And then the second one is a 32 or something.

Oh shit, shit. Five, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 32. 32, that's a critical hit. Yay! With the frightened and the off guard, that's a crit. So hit the crit, the fortitude save is a 20. Fortitude save, that's a fail. So, you're stunned one.

So, I'm slowed one for a minute. Stunned one. Stunned. Okay, so for the first non-crit hit. Stunned override slowed. We've got nine points of bludgeoning damage, one point of fire. Okay.

For the second crit hit, we've got 22 points of damage, bludgeoning, 10 points of fire. Oh my goodness! So I moved up, hit twice. Zephyr has been rocking, nails. I'm going to use, I didn't use guidance on my first two So I'm gonna use guidance to try to hit it Okay

That definitely hits that's like oh god, it's a crit. It's a crit wait map third 31 Yeah, I have a plus 11. I rolled a 19 plus one 31 We just look at one thing to make sure 31 is the critic exactly. Oh, yes All right, cuz it's frightened and because it's off guard. That is a critical hit So 18 points of blood wait before you do all that you don't have hair wasm on do you I took it off Oh my god, what an amazing hit 18 points of bludgeoning damage two points of fire damage only Okay, that guy was at full below half

Like literal jab cross uppercut what real all right this man was trying to pick up the pace here a little bit round five It was looking bad And now things are looking up. This guy here is second one. So a little bit lower chance to hit. Does he want to try barf him? No, no, he's not going to retch. He barfed, his eyes are in his mouth.

His whole way. Oh, gross. All right, he is going to. Go up in your eye. Let's do this. Let's start with a claw on Buggles. OK, he misses the claw on Buggles. Then he's going to throw a Dream Barbit Ramius,

or attempt to. Misses on the Dream Barbit race. Wow. And then last thing, we'll attempt to throw a Dream Barbit Zephyr. So he's gonna spread it out a little bit here. Kind of flailing wildly. Misses on that one.

Nice. You're scared. And then it is Gic's turn. Gic's turn. Gic, you are flanking this guy that just got lit up by Zephyr. Not gonna move now that I know that Zephyr's got my, I just see this thing getting like hit from behind.

I'm like, Zephyr must be back there. Cause I can't see you. All right, I'm gonna do something different. I'm still stupefied so this is all a risk, but I am gonna do my harmonize. My harmonize allows me to sing two of my composition cantrips at the same time. Okay. It's gonna use all of my action economy, but I'll get to do it. So harmonize is first one action, technically.

Harmonize, the light, the heat, harmonize. It has spell shape and manipulate, so I have to roll a flat check to see heat, harmonize. Spell shape and manipulate, so I have to roll a flat check to see if I harmonize. Correct. 18. Okay. Okay, I'm battling back. So I harmonize, I start, I'm doing like the throat singing

where there's like two sounds coming out. It's like, uh, uh, uh. You, you're like, you're lulating, what is it? I don't know what it is. All lulating, uh, uh, uh. So I'm gonna do Dirge of Doom again. I'm gonna try to do Dirge of Doom. You're you're like you're like I don't know what it all the lighting I try to do dirge of doom when a roll to see if I can Three oh No

Okay, got another cap and cast dirge of doom for one week I was just gonna now I'll roll to see if I can do my courageous anthem again, which was the other one I was gonna do at the same time. Seven. So I did the courageous anthem. You're a perspire. Puvic hair. But if you only cast one, you're no longer harmonizing, so you can't cast either. Just kidding.

What? Look at her face. But just to be clear, harmonize is an action, Dirge of Doom is an action, and so was the other one. So I did do all three actions, even though I failed my Dirge of Doom. That's the way I think it works. Okay, just making sure. Tried and failed and lost it.

So that was my three actions. Does anything happen? Courageous Anthem. Yeah. Would've been cool. Okay, I'm putting that back on. Both happened. Click it back on.

Curb and Curb. Plus one to your attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effect. All right, it is this dude's turn. Let's get funky. Zephyr, give me a will save. Okay. Is it a fear effect?

Yeah, is it an emotion effect? Nope. 22. Success on sleep. So minus one penalty. You're already asleep. Perception. Wait a second.

Checks. Uh, yeah. Guys, we gotta get the kick. We gotta wake up. Yeah. All right. Dream within a dream. Wait, success is in, I didn't, I'm not asleep?

Correct. Okay, I thought it was like success. All right, stunned goes away, and oh, this is really great foundry, like I removed stunned, I'm not asleep? Correct. Okay, I thought it was like success. Stunned goes away and it was really great foundry, like I removed stunned, sleep came right back on because sleep was, not sleep, slowed. Slowed. Slowed came back on, which is awesome because it had overridden it and slowed last

for a full minute. So that was two actions, that's its turn, Brother Ravius. Okay, it is also no longer frightened if I'm not mistaken. Okay. Which was the difference maker in you getting that crit on your third attack? I think Ramius, where are we at with damage? Is this thing hurting?

I'm good. No, no, no, I'm saying this. They're both hurting. The one that I'm hitting is the worst hit. The one next to Buggles is the lowest hit. Oh, right, you hit it. They're both pretty bad. I got a crit on it.

You could close it out. They're both pretty messed up. All right, I'll give it a shot then. What the hell? If I can. All right, he is going to, he has these greater holy prayer beats that he got in the temple. I think it was in the first temple up high.

The temple of Findadladlara. The holy prayer beads, which by the way, even though they were originally to Findadladlara, when they touch him, they magically change shape and transform into a necklace of Gruhastha, into the Keeper's symbol. And that is not flavor. That is like by the book. It's like if a divine caster wears them, they take the form of the holy symbol of your deity.

So he grabs this thing and can once per day, from what I can tell from these greater holy prayer beads, cast Divine Wrath, which is the spell he spell oh shit cast and he's not gonna be able to do it anymore you need the stupefied do you do you do you still I would think so because I'm still casting the spell I'm just you know using the energy within this to cast it I thought it was different her thing was different that was like like a bomb yeah this is like a fused item that you are once per day I can cast this spell out of it If I'm reading this right it says

the list of spells are of fourth level versions and one of them is Divine wrath which is what I just cast you can cast each of these once per day Yeah, cuz you're holding it and casting the spell with it. Yeah, he's holding it casting the spell with it So I will do the flat check. Here we go. Let's see. Natural one. I mean, I knew it. I knew it. I didn't want to believe it. Don't throw that one. I didn't want to believe it.

I have this like weird. Why? It's this weird premonition every time it happens. I saw your 20. I saw the one. Oh, what a. I wish you would have said it out loud. Just bursts in your hands.

It bursts in my hands. Yeah, it's like. Were you would have said it out loud. Just bursts in your hands. Yeah, bursts in my hands, yeah. It's like... Were you gonna cast Heal? No, I was going to cast Divine Wrath again and hit both of the creatures. And I really think I could have done it. But instead now, with one action left,

there's really not much I can do. Oh, Zephyr's fine. You're pretty hurt, right? I'm okay. Buggles, you know what? Let's do another doctor's visitation. Sure. I'm gonna go ahead and just move up to Buggles,

and I'll do doctor's visitation move and battle medicine as one action, which is pretty sweet. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. And I'm gonna go ahead and roll for it in order to get the higher DC or wait Can I hit the higher DC anyway now believe I can? Sorry second assurance Yeah, all right, I am going to

Yeah, just go ahead and heal you with battle medicine with my assurance. Oh 23 points. Oh Phenomenal. Yeah solid roll. Very very good It is Buggles turn Okay, Buggles. He's still like he feels Safer he's ensconced in flame like this feels like his natural habitat Even though the Kula Khan is trapped within him and he can't communicate with it or get it out, use its power, he still feels more secure, bathed in flame. And so one last time, the one next to him,

boom, he's gonna do an Ignition, Stupify, natural 19 on the Stupify. Nice. That is a 23 to hit. With Sicken, that hits exactly. Oh, thank God. Wow, amazing. Yes.

Thank God. Okay, and that is 30 points of damage. Wow. And he dies. Yes! Awesome! Why did we even need to release the K'uul'ka'a? We don't need that.

That guy had to heal. Well, if anything, that should be a good reminder. Yeah. It is, well, you're still cooking here. Yeah, my last action, I'm going to move up to the remaining creature. OK, close on the remaining creature. Take us home, Zephyr.

Let's go. Deception. Ooh, that's a big number. It's already off guard, soephyr. Let's go, deception. Ooh, that's big numbers. It's already off guard, so don't worry about it. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Can I use this for my first hit? You cannot. But if you critically succeed,

it'll be off guard for a full round even no matter if something else happens. No, it's just off guard against both of my Flurry of Blows. But if you critically succeed, it's off guard until the end of your next turn, right? No matter what. Yeah, like if Gek moves. If you critically succeed.

It's 34. No. Oh, okay. Pretty close. So, first one, 30. Hiyaahtah! Hiyaahtah! Hiyaahtah!

Second one. That's a hit. What is one. That's a hit. What is that? That's a 32. Who, Pritt? Who is this? Hitch and a Kreat! Pritt?

Oh, it's going by value. Oh, it's going down. It doesn't even need a force. Hitch and a Kreat! Time for Bonzo. First one. It was just buffing up these fists, man. Yeah.

13 points of damage. Bludgeoning. And bludgeoning and then four fire for the first hit. Second one's going to be 24 points of bludgeoning and eight points of fire, because it's a crit. And it dies.

Yes! Wow, Zephyr punched us out of the nightmare. She kicks it twice after it falls because I have the action economy and she's on fire The Definitely buttercup maggot like mr. Burns ask David Lynch's dune like

shy, Halued falls and Let's ask David Lynch's Dune-like Shyhalood Falls. And just as eerily as they popped into view, they just wink out of existence.
