You are listening to the Glass Cannon Network, the premier source for role-playing game entertainment. Last week on the Glass Cannon podcast. A large square plaza, this chasm, and there are beings up there chanting towards this tower. There is a feminine figure leading this ritual. Queen of Skywatch. This ritual must be smited by the keeper. a blast of divine wrath. Now you see she looks like this.

Whoa! Oh, no, this was not a good idea. Boom, ignition. That's a hit. Ah! And now one of these Black Frost zombies closes on Zephyr goes to bite six points of cold. Zero points of cold.

Cause of my Yeti hand thing. Flurry blows. He's gone. Heumbles to the ground. And it's the queen's turn. No. She closes an aura of fear. All of you all,

automatically become frightened one. Buggles give me a will save. You're paralyzed for three rounds. All right. Great. This changes everything. Zephyr, I need you to roll against paralysis. Roll the natural two.

Oh, God. Gick and Rameas are the only two active combatants. The adventure continues. Now. ALEEN SULLIVANILEEN SULLILEEN SULLIVAN LAM HAD LAW HAD HAD HAD HAD HADC INAW. I don't want a kink shame Followed by me about kinksham Because whenever I sound like I don't mean to be rude

They're always rude Right I don't want a kink shame Oh boy But But saw this video come up Oh boy Where's scro

Recently Um Where a young lady gifted one of her fans of some of her bathwater. Oh, yeah. That's a whole... This is like a whole thing.

She's selling it. No, I think it's because the Sydney Sweeney thing is... I don't think that's a bit, but anyways, she gave her her fan, the bath water. And innocent old Troy

just thought he'd be like, thank you. It's a weird little totem, but okay, thank you. Oh, awesome. I love you so much and I got your bath water. He immediately uncorked it.

Drink it. Oh, no. Don't do that. Why didn't people got to be doing stuff? Wally drank it. Oh, no. Wait, and how do you know that? I saw this came on.

He recorded himself? No, no. It was like they were interviewing each other. And he was like, while he drank it and I was like, I think there is a world that I am not aware of. I know there's several worlds of sexual devious. Well, that type of thing makes me feel like an unwilling participant

having to watch someone shudder, drink it. Yeah. Do you do that some worlds? Yeah. I don't want to watch you do that. Especially if... Please stop shuddering. It's one thing to drink it.

And just be like, that's exactly what I thought. No. No. Honestly, both reactions are horrible. If they drank the bathwater and they were like, yummy. I'd like that. I'd appreciate that slightly more. No, I think both are quite bad. Both are quite bad.

It's all bad. But wait. You're operating under the assumption that this woman's bathwater isn't magical. Oh. Like, it might not be under his control. Like, this might be. magical property. Okay. Like she might be fucking the real deal.

It's a fun way to take this conversation. But no, I don't think that's what was going on here. I don't think it was magical. I think it was dirty-ass bathwater. And why would he shudder? Because it was magical in his pants. It was magical in his pants.

Because it was magical in his pants. I love Joe's innocence of like, it's probably magical. Maybe it was magical. Maybe he shuddered because his hit points went up. That's the minimum. I think everybody, Everybody's got a flavor, you know, and I don't want a yucky yum, because who cares? Whatever.

Why not exactly yuck him? We're just having a discussion here. But I think what Kate said is real in that you said that she gave it to them. Like they were having a back and forth. Yeah, it was like a gift. I think it was an appreciation for his support. I don't like that in that moment, she became the unwilling participant of his experience with said bathwater. I believe he asked first if he could drink it, but it all happened very quickly. Yeah. And what are you going to say? say no what was her immediate reaction i believe it was like oh but it also was kind of like seen this happen before what are you supposed to do with oh this yeah i mean well that's like like i told you my my uh the day i got married uh one of my groomsman randy gardner uh pulled me aside oh randy and gave me a little like gerber baby food jar full of dirt from larry birds oh yeah from your front yard in french like indiana when he went out there to visit um you know so you see

Her bath water? Nice. But no. You got the dirt. You didn't eat it. Drink it. And like, have an organ. Yeah, and people steal, like, small bits of bones from the Paris catacombs, but they don't

fucking eat them afterward. Okay. I feel like every that. But I don't know what you're supposed to do with the bath water. I think you save it. So what you're saying is. Well, you take a bath and put some in your own bag. What I'm hearing is it's crazy not to drink it.

I just don't know why you would want it unless you're going to, like, put it in your bath ingest. Or like, or collect it. Or kiss it. Right. Or pour it, rub it on you or something. I could see rubbing it on you. Weird. But that's a little, it's not going in your, your mouth. It's all of it all together. Follow by. It's the immediacy. It's the shutter. Yeah. Yeah. Permission to bring up something that I think might be related. You want to sell your bath water. We'll give you a cut. We'll handle the sales and distribution. Now we have to give our merch partners. Hey, make. Share percentage. But we're going to take a cut as the middleman because we control the distribution. We control the distribution. you should know. Yeah. I'll let you work on the price. Do I have a deal for you? Uh, no. But I think something that's not what you want to ask me? No. All right. Go ahead. I think something in a similar vein. Why not Joe?

Joe. Why am I cut out of this? Who else think that? We'll get to you. We'll get to you. Anybody want no Brian Bathwater? Let's wait until they say no. I think there's something to be said about, about this kink of like ingesting. There was beer created, um, where this is going to, guys, everybody take a second. Everyone take a second. Everyone take a second. I feel like I have to settle in for this one.

Settle. Buckle your seat belts. There was beer created and they would advertise the beer with a photo of a woman. And the woman did make that beer because the yeast they would use to make the beer. Yep. I went so many avenues. I was like bathwater beer. I thought it was pee.

I thought there was pee. Nope. And then I was like yeast. She kept getting worse. And when you're on the web. website, because they sell this shit. When you're on the website, you're like, huh, that's interesting. I guess they're like models. They're like models for the beer. Popular people? You just keep going and then your brain. It's like Lorlene. It shows her trailer.

You're just, it just. It's like your brain tumbles out of the stairs. And it keeps, and it lands. And then it hits the bottom and you're like. And it breaks its neck when it lands. So I think there's. So they're just normal people just using average Jane's yeast. They're beautiful. They're models. They're models. They're beautiful women. They're modeling. They're like, On the bottle. But I think there's something to be said. Oh, they're on the bottle, too? To me, to me, this is not interesting. I don't have a need for that.

It's not my thing. But I think for some people, probably a kink, similar to the bathwater. They're like, you've touched this. This was part of you. And now I have it in me. It has your essence. It has your essence. It's like the most.

They're just cannibals. They're just, they want to eat other people. There's a consumption thing. Ill. To me, it's the most. You think you're born. with these, I don't want to call them deviances, but you're born with

these needs or something occurs that you're like, now I need to kill any people. How does an army hammer occur? Because girls just become witches, boys need to drink, become cannibals. Not all boys. I think there's Maybe Francis. Most cannibals, cannibals like a male earth.

Mostly male, yeah. I think there's a spectrum of taboo. And there's like fun taboo. There's fun and sexy taboo. Yeah. And then it gets into like I'm a not his secretary. So it's like a square of like... What's that paperwork? Yeah.

Noddy sexy at the year. I'm the pizza guy. No tip. What? Extra sausage? That's fun. And then there's piss in my mouth. Then it gets a little...

We took a big jump from role playing. And everything in between you. And I don't want to yuck anybody's yum, but I think there's a side of taboo where it's to us we're like, that is crossing a line. That's like, no, no, that's bad. But to them, they're like, it's taboo. body. We're not supposed to do cannibalism. I don't get the feet thing.

I don't get the feet thing. There are some people that are obsessed. People really like feet. Not only because I think feet are gross, but I've never looked at a foot and been like, that's, that's it. Some people like stinky feet, particularly. That's, yeah. The foot thing is neurological. The foot thing is, I'm pretty sure, neurological. Yeah. You think it's their brain? Yeah, because like, I saw the Matt Brody's nodding. There's like, there's some, like, he's a big foot guy. No, no. The sections of the brain of a photographer is a big

he's giving thumbs up and he's going yeah he's like yes he's neurological no they're like there's there's some overlap in like the sections of the brain between like the foot they think that's a nipple yeah it's like it's like it's like it's almost like a crossed wires or something oh interesting so that to them is a boob that seeing a foot is like as enticing as yeah i mean it is like it's a it's a sensitive part of your body and like you know you're not supposed to. Like you don't usually see Yeah, like you're not supposed to see that. Like, I imagine it's like in the 1600s where you see a woman's wrist and you're like,

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, fuck. At the vapors. Well, what do you do at the beach? Just feed everywhere. But I don't think it's always sexual. I don't think it's always like that. People dress differently at the beach than they do in everyday life anyway. So if you go to the beach, it's just like, oh my God, everyone's wearing underwear. Yeah, that's true. And you don't

sexualize every person you see. Right. Yeah. Troy. Well, as if I've been drinking. Yeah, I don't know. Would you drink anyone's water? No, I'm good. I don't get the feet thing either. What weirds me out the most about the feet thing because I don't get it is talking to Sydney and Kate and others, other female friends of mine, is how normalized it is in their lives.

Oh, to get asked. Like, online. People are like, how normal. I've seen people cross out. Like, it's not like a fringy. thing. It's like extremely normal happens all the time. And it's surprised me because I don't get it.

Yeah, requests that we get. Yeah, they're like DMs. People are DM and it's just like, cast your feet? Let me see. Let me see your daddy. Anybody ever messaged you? Oh, to be your daddy. Toes.

Anybody messaged you to see your butt crack or something? No, I've never gotten a message that's like, I'll pay to see a part of your body. Let me see that. Or melted cheese on your ass. Can you see that elbow. Could you please cover up more of your body? I'll send you one. Those are the messages.

Those are the DMs I get. Stop wearing tag tops. It is strange in 10 years. I've never had a request to see a ball or something. You send me a single ball. I don't even know it's your ball. Yeah, you could picture today's newspaper. I think because you cover,

because you wear a hat all the time and cover your head, I think people are probably like, they assume I'm bald, which is very funny. Yeah, and they're like, let me see that dome. Oh, he's balding. I just like a hat. I've always worn a hat. I think that's the taboo for you.

Our feet are covered. So maybe that's it for us. And then for you, it's like, what's under there? I'll set up a PayPal. If you want to see some photos of the dome, send me $3,000. You're not monetizing. You're doing it wrong. Well, I don't know.

I just, it was the, that I didn't. I've never in my whole life of excitedness ever. Where did you see this? It was on the Instagram, I think. On Instagram? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's father. behavior. And anything that's father behavior? No, the show. Oh, no. The character. The character, father. Oh. Father.

Oh, sorry. That's father behavior. I'm like, sorry. Not fatherly. Uh, that's father. Do we need to have a talk about? Sinia. You guys are such dad. Thank you. Bring bath water. It starts juttering. Such a dad move. Okay, Pumer. Let's start this episode over. My relationship. Our relationship with my dad is cool and normal. Don't you want you down the aisle? No, no.

Thank you. I'm good. You're still open? I think anything that is like the character father, don't do it. If it's anything that father would do. That's a good baseline. Can I have your bath water? It sounds like something.

It does sound like father. It's something he would do. His whole talk is a shudder. And he took that back. It's like he's on the edge the entire time. I miss him. Bring him back. Bring him back.

Well, I don't know if we're going to start offering these in any way, shape, or form. But Colin, let us know in the chat if you want to drink our water. We'll be right back. No frills, delivers.

Watch to the end. March to 100. March to getting this over with. No, I'm kidding. We're having a great time. And I want to thank our sponsors, Norse Foundry. They weren't really helping me last week. They helped us out quite a bit less. I wrote some good saves. I will say that. But that Nat 20 that got turned into a 3 from Erie Flickr. That was fun. That was awesome. I was sick. I also want to thank Foundry Virtual Tabletop. How cool are these maps. I mean, I thank Foundry, but it's the community behind Foundry that creates these maps. that takes Paiso's sort of one-dimensional, you know, basic, here's the map, and turns it into this. Well, because Paiso has to fit it on a page. Yeah. Right? Like a page in a book and this way you're able to, like, blow it.

Really, really take it to. I know. You're down with VTT? Yeah, you know me. That's what I'd say. Yeah. That's fun. I like, wow.

There's a member of the Nesh that I think made a lot of these maps, consulted on the maps, helped with the maps, did every single one of the maps. one of the maps. I'm not sure. I really don't know what people do. Invented maps. Invented the word map. And I'm stalling because I want to shout them out and I cannot find, I sent them a message once because I wanted to know. Can I have your bathwater?

Can I have your bathwater? But when we did the gate on Castroville that kept switching from thing to thing to thing, I couldn't, I didn't know how it worked on here. And he, yeah, they showed me. I believe, here it is, uh, Narky. Oh, Narkey on, uh, on the glass can of Discord. Shout out to Narkey. Shout out to Narkey. Uh, first slash third party content creator for Foundry VTT.

So shout out to Narkey and to the whole whole crew over there. I mean. One way out. Foundry virtual table top. 97. What a way to go. Two of you paralyzed. You made it to 97.

Is this it? You're acting like, this is it. What a weird TPK, like, at the final... The crown of the world. You know, crown of the world. You're at the end. I've already told you you're not going to level up anymore significantly. Hexogital pyramids right there.

Spire is here. I don't know what we're missing here. We could have skipped this encounter, and we didn't. Yeah. Well, it looks like there was no way into that temple without interrupting. And also, if we don't attack them, they keep going and... To all the towers to strengthening... I figured we had time.

Yeah, maybe. I wonder if diplomacy would have gotten us anywhere if we could have talked to her at all. No. No, it would have not let him get off his divine wrath and they wouldn't have taken the minus four penalty. If they see you, they attack. Like, fuck you guys. Good to know. This is the way it's meant to be.

I like to let you know when I can. You said, I wonder what we're missing here. I wonder what we're missing here, yeah, mechanically, because looking back over the last episode, you know, put a, we're in a position here. that's very, very, very, very bad. Now, part of that is of our own making in terms of our build or like, you know, our character build. Party build. We don't have an optimized party build, for sure.

Are you, do you blame me and the eyes? I looked right at everybody. I'm killing it, except I'm paralyzed right now, but that's not my fault. I'm not blaming anybody. I'm just saying. I've been singing my heart out. You did look right at Kate when you said.

Saying we're not exactly optimized. And he did it again. Do you see this? I mean, I agree. We're not optimized. I wish we had a cleric. But. Wow.

You're about to be so lucky you have a cleric. But there's like he rolled so badly. He rolled fine. Not that bad, you know. He rolled real bad. He rolled horribly. And no crits. And battlefield wise, we had the perfect start.

We got a surprise. We wasted so many of their rounds and like coming over and everything. And we're still talking about. a potential TPK. So it's like, what am I missing here? Nothing hasn't gone our way except the one rolls you guys took, which obviously that's a tough one. But like...

Well, these are beefy thralls. Maybe that's what we're missing. It's like, just too many hit points on these thralls. Well, the one thing you were complaining about after we finished recording was like, I just want to act more often because like these turns take so long, I got great news for you. It's going to be too fewer turns in this next round. Well, I will say also, because of just the way this. encounter is for my build for the way the bard is a lot of it is mental and a lot of it

like my better area of effect stuff and damage dealing spells i can't do them on anybody you need a live audience yeah you need to work right as a bard i need to work the crowd you're so right are there things you can take as a bard that like affect undead uh me i don't know maybe like i'm sure there are i'm sure there are barred spells where it can affect undead but i didn't take them and I didn't even look, when I picked my spells, I didn't look at like living creature. I honestly, you've never paid attention to that. I was mainly wondering, like, I didn't know it was so specific. Is this combat not for bards in general, or is it like a flavor of bard, kind of have those flavors of, I think a lot of the barred stuff is mental, too. Flavors in bathwater.

No. My new album. Flavors of bathwater. Sydney, Manuel. But when, when I chose spells, I tried to pick equally like, higher level damage dealing. and then like buff spells and then like debuff spells. So it's kind of like mixed between the levels, but I also can't move anything around. Like I can't heighten any, like anything that I learn at a level, that's the level it's at.

So I'm stuck. And even some of my good damage dealing spells are like level three. So it's like not good for this combat. I don't know. Do I feel a little useless in this combat? Doing any damage is useful. I did some. I did some.

I have an idea. I have an idea for something to do that I've never done. Because it seems annoying. Did you spend a lot of time preparing this idea? Yes. How did you find the time when you were so busy, raiding weird Al Yankovic's closet? There it is.

I was wondering. My work here is. Nice. I was waiting. That one was unexpected. I was waiting. I didn't know what I wanted to say. All right.

It's the end of round three. two of these guys are still going to go and then the queen uh two of them still go i don't like her you must have gotten it wrong but in the week off i don't like zephyr's zephyr started uh her turn and became paralyzed oh right uh so this first black frost zombie who's in rough shape he's in rough shape uh is going to go after gick who will be off guard also known as flat-footed check it see I'm going to punch you. What did she do?

Just the way you said it. It sounded like you were talking to Sidney. Stop, stop, stop. I'm a completely unrelated thought. I'm serious. Don't. Don't. Stop.

Guys, help. Natural two. Oh, wow. I don't think they hit you. Two weeks I've been using that down. I don't think they have hit me. Nope, they haven't. I have no.

Flatfoot at AC Punch number two Oh my God Amazing Now I'll go for the Moonshot here Now I Wow

Miss miss miss Brutoff I mean yes sick and is hurting I am rolling Level fun I feel like I've been rolling horribly For months of this shirt For a while

I mean this happens Get these streaks It'd be cold bro All right The other one Way up top to the right So there's like If you look at the

If you're listening to this at home There's like three rows of enemies. There's Blackfrosse zombie, Brother Rameas, and then two more zombies. Row two is Gick, space, Zephyr, space. And then row three is zombie zombie, uh, buggles, dead zombie. And then a little bit to the southwest is Aquendia, flying just a couple of feet off the ground. Is she, was she an elf at one point? Queen Aquendia, I don't know if you're aware of her, uh, her amends.

Well, looking at her like, does she, what she look like? She had elven features. She doesn't have elven ears in the miniature. Yeah, I'm looking, I want to blow it up. I'm just wondering, because the name, the structure of the name is very Tolkienian elf. Yeah, I believe human. I believe human. Okay.

At least. Caliquendi, the elves of light, the Moriquendi, the dark elves. Yeah, it's very possible that the artist that Drew Aquendia did not have access to her etymology to know like, oh, maybe she is an elf. I'm going to say human. And she's also more fallible, obviously. So human would make more sense. An elf wouldn't be so stupid as to be seduced by this.

She's curious. Simply curious. That's the half-strander that's paralyzed. Yep. Flat check, because you're still concealed. 17 on the flat check. You trying to hit me? Yes.

And you are flat-footed. But you have blurred. Is that all that happens when you're paralyzed? Is it just a minus two to AC, or is it worse than that? Well, she was already flat-footed, but yeah. She's slaffered it because he's flanking, but yes. Paralyzed, you're off-guard. Off-guard, yes.

All right, so here we go. You think it would be more, but. I haven't. All right, pretty good roll, pretty good roll. Pretty good roll. 27. Oh, exactly. Wait, did we determine, oh, God.

What? Just concealment. You just did it. I did. Oh, it doesn't. Stack. She gave concealment and the concealment that's still. I have it for a minute.

Yeah. It's not greater concealment. Okay. You don't, okay. Yeah. You don't have to roll twice. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. I'm sure that's true. Um, so hitting a blurred target that's in some smoke is the same as hitting a non-blurred target. This is what I was saying. I know. Why do you have to ruin it? We were going to stop bringing up the reasons. I think you're probably right. I think he's just being annoying.

He's right. But, and also I, I, I don't. I wouldn't have said it if you didn't hit her. I want you to... No, I know. I know. I guess I'll stop to look it up. Multiple concealment conditions do not stack. Why would they, even though that makes perfect sense?

The same. The gut was correct. I wanted to just move on, not talk about it too much. Let people get fired up if it was wrong. It's good for our engagement. Yeah. It's good to be wrong. Is it, Kate?

I don't know. I don't know anymore. I don't know anymore. I don't know anymore. It's easy when no one ever says anything bad about you. Oh, thank me. He says anything mean about Kate. Okay, Cho.

Okay, Joe. 11 points of bludgeoning, and you won't take the cold damage for the first attack. Second attack. I mean, I said this as we were wrapping up the last step, I was like, this is going to be three rounds

of them just beating the shit out of you while you try to survive long enough and chip away at their numbers. It's like Rocky 3. It's like Rocky 3, and we all know how that ended. Yeah. They won? Mr. T died.

They did win. Oh. Mr. T. D. D. Spoiler alert. Are you telling me you bet on the fight in Rocky 3 and you bet against Rocky? What is that dirty work, that Norm McDonald's here? Oh, oh. You bet against Rocky?

It's like, hindsight's 2020, my friend. That's a funny movie. It is pretty funny. I think it's Chevy Chase is the character. Is it Chevy Chase? Yeah, he's a degenerate gambler, minor character. I'm punching you in the face. I think that is going to be pretty fucking close.

again that's my that's that's your flat footed AC so your regular AC is 29 yeah I'm a you are an absolute beast it's gonna be very hard to crit you however 15 points of bludgeoning and you will not take the three points of cold I'm gonna go back to the well one more you know what that was the flat check oh okay yeah so you just said 15 yeah take that give yourself that back and then a I miss okay nice okay then final one like you made the the flat looking for the 20 not going to get it so hit miss miss cool okay yeah even though I'm paralyzed

I'm like kind of hoping that they hit me still because I'm concealed you probably yeah you're concealed and you still have better AC than most of the rest of us do anyway so I am the queen just queen she says a quendiest turn I am the queen I am the queen

hey who goes there I'm the queen I'm the queen you stop that look up here look up here I mean, when you're running these type of enemies, there's a couple different ways to go about it. You can really be like, hammer!

Or you can, you know, play to the situation. Yeah. It's a very, very torn here. Here's what I'm going to have her do. I'm going to have her do the hissing command again. Give them all a free attack. Let's just get that. Let's just get that out there.

That's a pretty good ability. I didn't think she'd be able to do it again. This ability also doesn't make any sense. It's crazy, right? One action. Mm-hmm. And she can do it every round. and they all get another attack

Well, they're using their reaction They have to burn their reaction And they don't have any other interesting reaction You don't know, you don't know You don't know I just assume that move is so cool She can only do it like once a combat You think right, yep, nope

They can attempt A melee strike Attempt Now here's the thing She's deafened Oh it does it have the auditory trait So if you perform It does have the auditory trait

Oh no it's a VC5 flat check She's going to get that So Maybe not For every single one of them He has been so cold. And you, and you, and you, and you do it, too. You and you, you and you, too.

I like rules, boy sometimes. All right, so, no, one check, but I could lose it all. Ten. All right, so she's like, well, I won't do it, because that would be weird. It might be offensive if I tried to do that. But she, no, for her, she's just telling them to do it and neckroll. So, let's roll out some attacks. I'm going to, I'm going to go after, oh, man, I've got all of it.

It's a weird little, I feel like we're playing tick-tack toe. Everybody's off-guard, flat-footed. I'm going to start with a punch on GIC. Flat-footed GIC. That is going to be... Japers, grow! Miss! And then the one beneath Gick will also go after GIC.

Can't touch this. That's insane. That's insane. Four, two. That's insane. The one next to Buggles will... Wait, first try to attack Buggles. Are you under the impression that weird Al Yankovich saying

you can't touch this? No, I was just doing an MC Hammer thing. Okay, but you were like puffing up your shirt. No, I was doing the dance. He had the puffy. He did have the puffy out. Flat check against Buggles, barely made it. And then a punch on Buggles is going to be, now you are off guard, 26.

That is a hit. Is he off guard? I don't think you are. Yeah, he's paralyzed. Oh, you're paralyzed. Right, right, right. 13 points of bludgeoning and three points of cold. So it doesn't go through. All right, so 13 points of bludgeoning.

You still have your, well, I would imagine your shield you no longer have. The shields, no, I didn't raise it. Okay. All right, so that all goes through, 13 bludge. Top guy just to the north of Zephyr is going to go after Rameas, who is also off guard, since you are surrounded by these guys. Natural 20. Not a named character.

It's not a named character. Get this poker face. It's like he expected it to have it. Double damn. I just want to say for the record. Someone designed this and said, you know what's fair? Twelve first attack bonus attacks a round versus most likely half a paralyzed party. Twelve per round.

Good thing you started far away. 26 points of bludgeoning. Oh, that was the worst. Four points of cold, let's call it 30 points of damage. Right, well, okay. And then the one to the northeast of Zephyr will roll a flat check, uh, makes it, and then try to punch your paralyzed self with a 32. Hit.

Which is going to be impossible to create you without a 20. However, you'll take 14 points of bludgeoning and two points of cold. But you don't take any cold. Yeah, and then also because you took these reactions, say this thing tries to hit me next round, it would start with a map. No. No. No? No.

12 first attack bonus attacks per round. Now, I've missed a lot of attacks. Hell, last time I did this, I don't know, I think one guy hit, maybe none. Yeah. So, that's why it seemed not as bad. It seemed not so bad because of his horrible luck. But if his luck turns around, if it gets hot at the table, we're all going to die. Um, poop.

All right, now, because of fucking hover, I'm going to have to deal with that shit. I think I have to use... You have to fly. I have to use an action. I have to use an action, too. Yeah, fly is an action. Fly, yeah.

Um, so I'm going to keep moving around the battlefield. It's still worth it for me to take that thing. So she kind of flies. Now she regains a little, uh, a little whatchamical. A little altitude. Thank you, Skid. back to 30 pilot license it has

uh yeah we'll say it's but she's back up to 30 feet virtual pilot license her uh will we say that what's her fly speed her fly speed's 30 feet so she can't be up 30 feet and over 20 feet all right so i'm gonna I just don't want to stack her on top of you guys um spend your catchphrase the thaggris but then right so she moves

you've been hit by math She's now to the left of this rectangle of Doom. Of a fight here, rectangle of doom. With her final action she will fire an arrow at Buggles. She's only up. Just want to check. 20 feet then, correct? Sure. It matters.

It does. Her spell casting. It does matter. Yeah, fine. I'll put a 20 there. That'll make you happy. And look, I'm with him on this. He doesn't like bookkeeping. I don't like math But I have to do it every day I have to do it every day

Basic bad I don't like reading People make me do it all the time What that's true Wham? I'm gonna shoot Buggles I'm sorry She's smart enough to know

That Zephyr is gonna be hard to hit And you are a sitting duck She's a smart cookie She's got a pretty smart She's a queen Can't be queen if you're dumb No one smarter than a queen It's an inherited title

Wayne. Plenty of dumb queens. All right, here we go. All right. All right. Not this month of all months. Please. Well, this airs in my lap.

I can say that, no. Oh, my God. That is a 30. It was so funny. I'm sorry. He's so flippant. I really thought of Queen Elizabeth in her cute little outfit. Yeah.

God. plenty of dumb queens it's plenty of dumb queens it's gonna be a a 33 days that's it that's it all right does not quit almost a crit almost a crit

33 and Buggles is going to take max damage that is going to be 25 points of piercing damage oh geez oh man oh it is brother Ray

Amos's turn one of two unparalyzed friends of the party here. Yeah. I don't want to play your character for you. Uh, don't. I'm just going to do what I want to do. I just want to give you an idea.

Nope, I don't need an idea. I don't want to drink your bathwater. I'm not deciding between things. What do you want to? I know what I know what I want to do. Sorry, so Kate is about to do what Joe does to everyone. And normally, and normally I'm always. I'm always open to it.

Normally, I'm always open to it. But I'm not indecisive this time. I'm usually very indecisive. But I've known for a week what I'm doing with my turn. I don't believe him. He looks right at her. Uh-oh. This dumb queen.

Stop. What did you say? Silly queen. Are you doing a bone maw? He's doing a bone, maw? Listen up, you dumb queen. No, he's going to, he's going to look right at her. And he's getting harried on all sides.

His friends are getting paralyzed. Harry's here? And he just very calmly. I miss Harry. Harry's here? Looks across at her. He just says, your ritual is over. You've made a terrible mistake bringing us back here.

And he is going to. to unleash the full weight of his holiness that he can. So he's going to do a heel, a three-action heel. That's what I was going to say. First out. Which will hit all of them. So heal your allies and hurt him. I would just have a fortitude save, I think.

Okay. You should have said it, and then it would have seemed like it was your idea. That's why I was like, don't say it because I know exactly what you're going to say. That was my idea. And I don't want to spoil the moment. You're welcome, Joe. Okay. So, Fortitude saves. Let's start with the Zombinos.

Thanks. Let me just double check. Yeah, it is fortitude. Thanks, Sid. All right. Good idea. Awesome job, Kate. Good turn.

They don't take any extra penalties, so sometimes undead, take. Second. Second. Okay. So, first guy, 29. Success. Second guy, 21. I don't know.

that's good or bad. 29, 21, critical failure, natural one. I don't care. Can I turn in my bottle cap for a heel roll? Like the damage roll? Wait, what? Was it that bad? It was horrific.

Just, wait, for the amount? Yeah. You want to change one die? No, I want to change all of them. This is why I fucking hate this shit. I hate it. Three-action heel. I hate it.

Because the range is so big? No, because it's so low compared to... I bet you it's still pretty juicy, but 29, 21, one. Next zombie, well, it's not one, but it's a critical failure. 30 and 17, which is probably a critical fail. Nice. All right, so... And her.

29, 21, 1.30, crit fail. And then her... Here. is going to be... What is she? Oh, she's... She's no longer deafened or... Uh, second.

That was just for one round. So... 33. Larry. That's success, so half damage. All right, so no crit successes. Yeah. So... Two crit fails.

So the ones that crit failed take 36 points of damage. Okay. That's pretty good. It's fucking terrible. Is it? Yeah. It was 5D8 to get

18. So shitty. It could have been 40. It would have been 40. 40. So you guys all get 18 healing. It's a slightly below average. I guess it is just slightly below average. But I'm mad. We needed juicier than that.

It would have been nice to get... The speech that you gave, I felt like it was going to be more damage from the speech. Exactly. That's why I should never talk. It kind of looks foolish in front of everything. And it just, it just, it's such... I never use it for this exact reason. It's like the two-action version is 5D8 plus 42.

Jesus. Oh, wow. So instead of that, how about I do 18? Yes. Plus 42? Plus 42. The imbalance to me makes no sense. Now, across all these targets, maybe you add it all up, and it's a bunch of damage. Yeah.

Sure. But it doesn't feel like it. Yeah. I think that's the right call. Like, listen, go after her, do a lot of. damage, there's value in that. Because you've got to take these guys out because they're going to keep attacking your paralyzed.

If you can winnow them down, get them off the field. But I have to keep them up. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. It's the right call. You don't like it, but that's the right call there because you get to also heal your your own. No, it's definitely the right move. It's just a bad role. Yeah. Yeah. Great move. Poorly executed. Yes. Poorly played.

Right. The right idea. Poorly executed. So, you had 36 on the two critical fails. I already did it all. 18 on the fails, 9 on the successes, and then you guys all got 18. Yeah, and that's his turn. What was the success, 27? Or just her or the 33. No, that was a fail.

31? Oh, no, sorry. Then no successes except. 33, oh, 33 was success. The other guy that at 31 was the next size. Yeah, that's a success, yeah. 31, yeah, yeah. Okay.

All right. 27 was a fail. All right, I'm pretty meticulous here. My numbers are good. All right, so now we go to Buggle's second round of being. paralyzed out of three. We move past that. And I, so you mentioned mental, like, actions. I meant to look this. So, yeah, some of these things, like, some of my spells, like, explicitly

have somatic components, but some don't. They do have the manipulate trait, though. So I know they're mental, but I don't know if, like, they don't seem to involve any kind of, like, motion on my part. So I don't know if I would be able to. Manipulate trait. You must physically, manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Do you have anything that doesn't have manipulate, but just mental? I don't think I do without my psyche unleashed. I don't think I do. Okay. And you can't release your psyche.

No, because, uh... Like that doesn't just have mental. No, because I would have had to have cast a spell on my last turn, which I didn't. didn't do. So, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you're probably the only person that had the chance to be able to do something. You're the best person to get paralyzed if the timing worked out that you were able to just do those mental things.

Well, it's going by faster than I thought. That's, Zephyr's second round is coming up as well. Got to survive this gauntlet. Yeah, two more rounds. All right. So it's the Black Forest Zombie to the north of Gick and to the west of Ebrother Ramius. They've used their reaction. this round. So let's

start by going after I'm going to let the dice decide. One, two, three, GIC, 4, 5, 6, Rameas. That's going to be GIC. Off guard. Punch to the face. I haven't really hit you that much. And that is a miss with a 20. And then we'll try it again. That's a cracked eye on an 18 that I won't use because I'm an honest man.

That's out of the bottom. box, and now it's going to be a 21. Wow, only one off guard is a miss. And then, yeah, shoot the moon, didn't get it. Okay, okay, so far this is looking pretty good for you guys, but now it's the one that is next to Buggles. I'm going to have it go after Buggles. I'm going to try Bight Buggles here.

It wants to chomp on Buggles 25. All right. A little less damage 9 points of piercing 4 points of cold 13 total 2nd bite Natural 1

Oh Oh are we pulling John Jamski That's a fumboni That's a fum bony Man I am so Ice cold I got rid of so many dice And I don't want to roll

Any of these Okay Okay, here we go. Let's take one from Mikey in Los Alamitos, California. Hello, Mikey. What's up, Mikey? Uh, wall of tests. No, I just.

Is it not helpful? Mike. It's completely unhelp. The tricks rabbit appears out of thin. No, it's not one of those. It's not one of those. Uh, all right. Sorry, Mikey.

This one from Mikey in Los Alamitos. If you don't bring the heat, It gets the yeat Oh You swing so widely That you become infuriated And throw your weapon Oh

He throws his mouth His teeth falls out His teeth falls out Yeah It's a dropped weapon Fumble Dang it Very good fumble normally

That's a full fumble It's not Mikey's fault You started off blaming Mike No I felt bad for Mikey Because we pulled his crit And is completely meaningless So it's based on how you rolled So it's your fault

Maybe Mikey's a big Troy fan Maybe every time you do a fumble it should be for weapons or natural or whatever. So, yeah, it is Mikey's fault. What a jerk. Thanks a lot, Mike. Third attack. Sorry, Mikey.

Lowest attack bonus against off guard, 18. Your A.C. is at 20, correct? My A.C. is a 24, so not great round for him. And now it's Gickmuxter. Finally. Okay. Finally. I have, I'm going to do a three John Jamski as well.

Because I think We just need For help Eat it You're right Do we need help We do need help I'm going to

Is this going to be helpful? Gick starts Doing this like Deep guttural breathing And she's going to Summon a dragon Oh shit She

That is very helpful. That is definitely helpful. Three action John is going to summon a flame drake, which is a large dragon creature. Oh. Got it. Oh my God. Does it appear immediately or does it have to... Immediately and it takes its two actions immediately. I looked up... Oh, that's awesome. I looked up summoned. Um... What is it? What's a... A flame Drake. I have something. Oh. It's Drake It's Drake

Yeah, you hear that You hear that Gick is singing Hotline bling And the fire's hot And the fire's hot Yes So summon says

That's too big Immediately when you finish Casting the spell The summon creature Uses its two actions For that turn So Where do you want it?

You know what? I can give you control of it if you want. Oh, yeah. Give me the, give me the control. You want to own it? Um, I think I'll put it, oops. I think, oh, oops, too far. I think, oh, come here. It's hard. It's just so big. It immediately tricky little guy. That was two actions. That's fine. It's, it's summoned, uh, I want it, no, I can't control it. Okay. I'll let you. I'll figure it out. I'd like to put it, actually, where you first had it, I think makes the most sense. That's why I put it there. Yeah. Thank you.

To be able to attack the two zombies right in front of it. Does it have a breath weapon? Let me tell you what it has. Yeah, it's fireball breath. I mean, if it works like the NPC, excuse me, the monster core Drake. It's got flame, fangs, tail, draconic frenzy, fireball breath, and it's speed surge. Yeah. That's all its abilities.

I think you want to use your two actions to do fireball breath, but can you do it in a way that doesn't hurt your friend? Friends, that's going to be tricky. I need to make sure. So the Flame Jake expels a ball of flame. You could actually, you could blast it. It's basically like a fireball. It's a 20 foot burst. Yeah, so you can make it explode behind the queen and those two zombies maybe and like

all three of them. Yeah, I would actually very much like to do that. I would, I'll summon him far away where I did, but I'd like him to shoot a fireball and lob it to land on the other side. to hit the two zombies. Yeah, you've got a range of 180, so you can... You can hit the other zombie, too? Oh, no, not without hitting yourself.

Without hitting yourself, you could hit the queen and two zombies. Yeah, that's what I'd like to do. One of them is hurt. Yes. Like, real bad. Should be, the one right next to Buggles. And they're vulnerable to fire, too. So let's roll the reflex saves for the two zombies first.

I've got the D.C. First guy rolled a 19. Fail. Oh, huge. Second guy rolled a Nat 20. Critical success. Oh, that's the guy who is the most hurt. And then the queen

On her Rift X We'll roll a 26 Pass So fail critical success Success Success A lot of dice

Wow I wonder if you have to take So that's 25 points of fire damage The critical success doesn't take any damage Correct Right so here's the good news Fail guy Debt

Nice That's huge Critical success Nothing And then Fail would be 12 But But she

Also seems a little Mad about that fire So she takes A little extra juice Nice And now she's got her eye On you On gig or on the dragon

On you Because she knows You called this fucking thing Yeah on Sydney She's like Is that Weird out. It's like weird out.

Kate, do you want to voice the dragon until you come back in? Yes. Okay. Oh, you're playing the dragon? Yeah, it spits a fireball. What does it say? You dumb queen. Take this.

No, no. It's just the way Kate did it. It's a sassy dragon. It's a cunty dragon. It's a cunty, sassy dragon. Oh, my God. All right. Look at his skin

Perfect You dumb queen Take this Amazing That's its two actions Thank you so much Keep it coming So that's

I'm so excited That's that's worth another cap Yes Yes Yes Come here, help me Oh my God That was awesome

Oh my God Jesus Oh my God Jesus You guys, I need to hand out more These are so excited It's like air hook You don't get at the second of these

Oh my gosh That is Gicks' whole turn It was three actions to summon And the breath is two actions So the dragon's turn is also done Amazing, okay Wow, all right So huge, huge opportunity here

Two zombies now gone It is the zombie to the right Of Brother Ramius' turn And he's going to come after flat-footed rameas. Oh, not the dragon? Isn't the dragon flying? No.

It's on the ground. It's on the ground? It didn't have the action economy to, like, fly. Well, it's first a taxon rameas. Okay. 33. Critical hit. Oh, my God.

Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, shit. 1999 with the first. This is the second crit against you. Wait, hold on. I have a question. No.

Can't take your reactive threat. You should always read that before you say it. I can't take reaction. Strike, you already know? Well, no, I don't know. I just assumed. Oh. A creature with a...

The dragon has reactive strike? Oh, no, that wouldn't. It's just a melee. Manipulate or move action makes a ranged attack or leaves a square. But that's good. Oh, you should... At that, you should have put it right next to her. Because she's got the ranged attacks.

That would provoke. Wait, wait, wait. Manipulator move action. Isn't it a manipulate action to attack? Not a melee strike, no. Hmm. Malay strikes never provoked like attacks of opportunity. Huh.

It's whatever would normally provoke. like moving out of the square moving casting ranged attack rats okay I tried yeah you tried picking a lock but hey if they try if they like move away once rameas is dead sure you can go nuts I don't really open up the battlefield

26 bludgeoning max cold of 12 Jesus 32 points of damage it's crick 26 bludgeoning 12 cold

Second attack We on the flame drink Natural 20 Here they come Here they come Here come the rolls I just made this guy Max damage

I mean I didn't roll the cold damage left So that's going to be 42 points of bludgeoning And two points of cold So 44 points of damage And that's cold damage I know. Hold on. So that'll prock your weaknesses.

Hold on. And then carry the two and make sure you remove your active strike and you can no longer do draconic frenzy. Stop it. So you have no idea what you just. 75 minus. What? What did you say? 75. What?

I'm doing HP. You just made up a number in your head. 42 points of blood. Oh, so it has 75. Yeah. I'm just doing the math. Okay. So 33 and then it is weak to cold.

It has weakness to cold. What's his weakness? 10. 10. So it takes 12. 12 points of damage You're gonna kill my guy Yeah, that's the goal here

This is stupid He did that with a second attack Yeah, this is dumb Four zombies This is dumb Max damage Low minimum damage on the cold Thanks with extra 10

You know what final attack Just fucking Drake Hate the Drake Well he's wasting all the attacks On the drink That's true That's true Hey it's useful in that regard

Yeah It was meant to be a punch And it killed a guy It killed a guy Or should I move And let you do a reactive strike I'm just kidding I wouldn't do that

19 Miss Okay Okay Oh man Good round for that guy You're making it by I'm gonna make him a name character

I was just gonna say Name that guy What's the Drake's name? What was his name in life? Drake's his name in life Murray Murray No what was the what's the flame Drake's there

Don't forget it She's a little That punty little voice She goes Oh that was cold Oh It's um it's Audrey It's waiting all season for this

It's Audrey Audrey? Audrey? Audrey. Audrey. Audrey. Audrey. Aubrey.

Aubrey. Aubrey. Aubrey. Aubrey. Yeah, it's Drake's real name. That was cold. Yeah. Oh, that was cold.

Love it. This dragon rocks. Yes. I'm bringing Aubrey back every time. Audrey? Aubrey. And don't you dare say Audrey to him because he will get really, really mad. Oh, he would get me.

I wish I could name the episode, Aubrey the country, Flame Drake. I think we'd get in trouble. I think we'd get in trouble. It's like a really bad children's book. Aubrey the Conti Flamed Day. Aubrey was in the woods. All right, Zephyr's second round of paralyization, we go to the end of round four. And it's that other zombies turn.

I'm going to have the first attack be against Zephyr. You are off guard for this fist. Fiest! That's a 27 against your off guard. Flat. Oh, that was my flat. Thank you. Sucker.

Thank you. Hasn't it about a minute? No. No. Sorry, here comes. And a minute. Oh, yes. Yes. Blurred.

Yes. Blurred lines. All right, then I'm going after the Drake. Natural 20. That's it. He's done. And if he could have just survived that hit. Can I?

If he would have just survived that hit, he'd get healed again. Nat 20. Second attack. Same shit. Different day. Almost max on the blood shed. 30 points of blood. And my dragon goes away.

And Max cold. It's gone. 22 points of call. It's gone. Bye, Aubrey. It disappears. I will remember you. Oh.

Oh. Oh. I don't care for her. It does that for like a whole round. It doesn't leave right away. It just goes like, no. Well, let's bring Aubrey back. Aubrey saved me.

Damn it. Because that Natural 20 would have hit one of us. That's true. That was coming back for Zephyr. I was thinking, should I do two on Zephyver finished with this? I wanted to take this Drake out. Final attack is on Zephyr's flat, put it very low chance and misses.

We go into round five. This is the final round of paralysis for Zephyr and Buggles. Are they going to come out of this? I'm not sure. Stay tuned. We'll be right back after this break. Book Club on Monday.

Creators of the Leviathan Chronicles comes a new audio adventure.

Join Treasure Hunters Captain Jeffrey Tully and Oberlin St. Clair as they build their dream research ship the Invenios and assemble a daring crew. But soon, their adventures plunge them into a globe-spanning conspiracy with hidden ties to Leviathan and visitors from beyond this world. The Invenios Expeditions, the newest series from Leviathan Audio Productions, available now wherever you listen to podcasts. we're back it's time for the queen uh i am the queen now i've been i've been burning that sweet uh ability that gives all my zombinos a free attack

at a certain point it's not going to have as much juice for the squeeze because you've already killed two of them but i could still get four attacks off right now which is pretty nice but she does have some other stuff you know what never mind let me just keep doing this with my I'm trying to find a way to nickel and dime you out of this

there must be something you're missing well must be here's what I'm going to do what I'm missing is doing what I'm about to do to Gick you cast a dragon you hurt me with that dragon and now I'm

going to hurt you she looks at you from her all black eyes focus on your little gnomy face and she just looks straight through you give me a will save

okay hold on I will not I will okay I am gonna do from my gnomish my little gnome face I'm gonna enact my unexpected shift I would take

damage from an attack spell or other effect. So I roll... Take damage? Does they take damage? You would take damage from an attack spell or other effect. So hold on, hold on. Let me just read... Okay, you're not going to take any damage. Oh, I think it. So maybe it doesn't...

Well, it says roll a DC-16 flat check on a success. You gain resistance to all damage equal to your level against a triggering effect. You gain a plus two circumstance bonus to saving throws against that effect until the start of your next turn. I think damage is the key. What is it called? I just want to make sure. Unexpected shift.

Yeah, the trigger says you would take. it sounds like you need to take the damage if there's no if there's no damage it sounds like it has to be a spell that does damage if it's not damage from an attack spell or the fact yeah this is not a damage dealing spell so save your reaction um we'll save yes 28 and if that's a success then it's a critical success it is a failure oh no against dominate no Two paralyzed. One dominated. You are now controlled by Aquendia.

We've played around with this enough where it's not the end of the world. Critical failure is really bad. You gain the controlled condition. You can attempt a will save at the end of each of your turns on a success. You will end this condition. Let's talk about controlled. You have been commanded, magically dominated, or otherwise had your will, subverted.

The controller dictates how you act and can make you use any of your actions, including attacks, reactions, or even delay. The controller usually doesn't have to spend their own actions when controlling you. Hmm. I separate some men from the boys. Control.

Now, critical failure, it's just like that, but you receive a new save only if I ask you to do something against your will. Here, I can have you do things against your will, and you're going to get the save no matter what. So those were two actions. Her third action, she will just fly a little bit more, so she doesn't have to sink to the ground. And we'll get to what she tells.

tells you to do. It comes to your turn. God, damn it. Brother. I'm sorry, everybody. Rameas, the last person available to hurt anyone. Yeah, I just don't know. I just don't think I can kill her in one shot.

So I'm just going to try to stay ahead of it until you guys come out of it. So he's just going to three-action heal again. So fortitude saves around the horn. And maybe a better roll this time? I rolled this group about 10 times just during other people's turns and all of them were bad.

It's crazy. Can't get a good juicy roll. Maybe this will be the one though. Maybe I'm due. So Fortitude saves all around. Fortuit saves all around. I mean, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. It's horrible.

It always is for trouble. It could be max damage. He'd be mad. It's not good, but... All right. Let's do the zombies. So bad. Fort one.

Uh, 34. Critical success, right? Oh, no. No. Success. It's only a Nat 20 is going to... That second one.

Nat 1. Fumble. Oh, huge, dude. 34. Fumble. 34. 34. 34, fumble, 34.

Last zombie. Uh, who, 32. So success, fumble, success. Success. And then... A queen. is going to be 42.

Critical success? All right, so everybody gets... 41. Everybody gets... Everybody gets 23 points of healing. And then, yeah. So do it all around. 23 points.

Okay. The fumble takes 46. Mm-hmm. Okay. And then 23 for the successes was a 41 critical or no? Yeah, it's critical. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Uh, no. Okay. Nice. I was trying to stay ahead of it here, but, uh, yeah. Well, good news. Killed one of them. Yep.

Killed the one that had, what, five hit points, and I did 42 points of damage to it? Yeah, four. Yeah, four. The queen got a little... Actually, no, why did I give the queen? She didn't get hurt. I didn't take any. I'm the queen.

Okay. So everyone saved. And the one guy that critically failed is the guy that had no hit points left, right? Mm-hmm. Horrible luck. No, actually, no, that's not true. The guy that fumbled had a good amount of hit points.

Oh, that's good. He's on death story, yeah. The other guy is just, that was enough to kill. I'm playing it up. He actually, that was a... You needed a blow like that. that to take that guy. Oh, this is good.

I'm just trying to make it feel bad. All right. So that whole bottom row of guys that were surrounding buggles, they're all dead. They're all dead. They were already dead. Now they're even more dead. And you guys all get healed. So we just need to, it's the right move.

We have to last one more round. Yeah. Okay. I guess it's just I'm projecting myself onto it. Those back-to-back crits took me down so far that I'm like, I'm like, is everybody like this? Because we're in bad shape. No, I'm almost, I'm almost.

Yeah. They're not doing a ton of damage when they hit normal. Yeah. Just when they're not doing. We have the resistance. And we have the resistance too. Right. All right.

All right. So that's your turn. Good round, Rameas. Yes. Come on. Just got to survive. What? Just the end of this turn.

End of this round would be good. You're at least not off guard anymore. You look over and Gick is pointing to all of you and going, what's wrong with, what's wrong with Gick? You do get healed, though, I guess, right? Or should I just heard her? I have yet to take damage. Oh. Zephyr is not dominating.

What the fuck is her problem? What? There's a strange look in her eye. It's Osoyo. He's speaking through her. Don't trust her. Push her off the cliff. It would have been Bugles' turn.

This is the last round of Buggles' paralyzation. It is one of the Black Frost zombies's turn. They are standing to the north of Gick and to the west of Brother Rameas. Gick seems under control. So we're coming after a flat-footed Rameas. I wish there was a Drake here for Meteor-Tek. but Gix Team Black Frost right now. Rameas is the last man standing.

You guys couldn't have more conditions on you if I tried. Here we go. Fist or bite, fist or bite, fist or bite, fist or bite. Let's do a bite. Let's do a bite. You're ready for a bite. Not great, not great. That's a miss.

Even against flat-footed, 17. Sweet. Second one, here comes in that 20, right? Nope. That's going to be a dirty 20. That's a miss. And then against flat-footed, we'll just try. These three attacks, nope, miss, miss, miss.

Hey, sweet. Miss, miss. Rape, it is now. Perhaps your god has not abandoned you in this forgotten wasteland. Yes, this forgotten place at the crown of the world. It's Gick's turn. First action, she wants you to... Help us.

She... What the fuck? Does she just flip you off? I can't see. She's giving a big thumbs up to the queen. I can't quite see. Well, Cren. First action, she wants you to move.

10 feet to the west Right to the edge of the pit Oh Oh Huh Where do you Gick doesn't think that's weird So she just is giving a thumbs up

And just walking towards the Gick where are you going Come to me And she just directs you like a chess piece On a board Right to the edge of this pit Huh And then she says

Harm him To She wants you to hurt Brother Rui with one of your spells. Gick shrugs and then she points to Rameas and gick him? Yes. All right.

So this is all kosher by controlled. Yes. She doesn't have to spend an action to command a minion or anything. No, it's no, no actions. I just control her turn. You control her character, basically. Yeah. If it was critical failure, you'd get a save right away here, which is kind of crazy.

But basically, you're going to get a save no matter what at the end. the end of this action. I'm assuming it'll be a nice two-action spell. Okay. And there are people that disagree with this interpretation, but I think it came up in a strange aeons back in the day. Yeah, I'm just trying to... Matthew and I have never talked since.

It's why he's off the show. Let's be honest. It took a long time, boom. My spells are... He kept telling Netflix, no, no, no, he kept turning them down. Until that incident was... Until that droid. And the controlled condition.

All right, so... Yeah, Gick turned toward you. Oh, wait, this is a... And he thinks that you're going to, like, attack the zombies that are surrounding him, so he's, like, preparing to duck. Right, I got you. Well, I'm going to do one... Let me know if this is not allowed.

But I'm going to do one that's a cone, because I'd also like to hit a zombie. That's not her intention. But it is one of my cantrip. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. I mean, there are many ways people can do this.

You could do it the lame way. or you could do it how you think you should do it I think this is how I mean it is a cantrip and it's it's her haunting him so Gick starts singing like Wait does it only target living creatures

I don't think so It doesn't say that Okay hold on Well anyway MEO is probably better anyway Only creatures in the area can hear So the 15 foot cone Okay okay

So yeah she sings like Come to me Why is she singing again Did you do something Save yourself And she just, like, is this weird siren song, you need to make a fortitude save. Oh, you are a horrible person. It's my freaking cantrip.

Oh, pick another can't trip. That was your best spout? Fortitude? Sorry. No one ever does dominate well. I'm just going to grab character shades and do it myself. Christ, Joe. 17.

Critical failure. It's a critical failure. I'm looking at your spell list after this episode. And we're going to have a conversation. Hold on. Next time you get dominated, it's going to be... Like, God, couldn't you just do an attack roll? Don't you have a telekinetic something?

Telekinetic projectile is 6D6. Damage. You'd mess if you rolled. I don't think I would. It's 22 points of damage. Already doubled. Already doubled. I rolled 11.

I rolled low. 22 points of damage right now to me. That's the him? Yes, and to the zombie. And what is it? I didn't roll anything. It is a 4 to 2. 4 to 2.

What's a call? I want to check your work. Haunting him. Haunting him. Hunting him. H-I-M? That's weird. It only harms dudes. Haunting him. Brother Rameh.

Him. Sexist Chantrip. Right. Yeah, it's Sonic. So. All right. All right. So I will roll a fortitude save.

What? Ramies. You critically failed. You're also deafened for one minute. Fuck. Flat check for every spell. And that's Joe O'Brien. He'll have to roll that flat check.

If you're listening at all. It's not a flat check for every spell. Only ones with the odd. Why would you fail this? It's a cantrib. I mean, I can't wait to look at your spells. Just yell at the top of my lungs. Eye.

To the ceiling. Needle darts, needle darts, telekinetic projectile, void warp, they're all bad. Yeah, but taking hit point, whatever. I rolled 30. I rolled 30. Yeah, so you pass, so you take half. What's that? What?

Five. Five. Oh, yeah, five. Five. Is that five? Sonic. Is that five? So you shudder.

And then she turns back to the queen and gives a big thumbs up. She smiles. It is interesting. There's like a, I don't know, there's meta, you know, theories out there that I've read and stuff about the distribution of spells. Fortitude saves, will saves, whatever. And by and large, I've read things that I agree with that make sense to me that are like, Reflex saves, you generally like don't re-roll unless. you're in like really horrible position or something like that.

Or you take buffs to will or fortitude because generally reflex saves are up against damage. Damage, yes, it can kill you, but it's usually the most reversible thing. Whereas like poisons and mind control kind of stuff can really rough you up. And so, yeah, it's like just that general theory that because hit points are until you're, when you're at one hit point, you act exactly the same as they were, right? But if you're already at five and you take 22 on a crit, that's also horrible. But, like, their hit points are a fungible resource. It's hard, too, because I'm such a mental caster.

Everything I do is like mental. You're mental. You're mentally mental. You start singing, and then your voice just turns into this like droning and then like. Nothing. And sound is just gone. How horrifying. Surrounded by these things, can't hear anything.

All right, it is one of the zombies turn. One of the few remaining Hezambi's turns. Oh, wait. I get to roll out of it. Oh, yes. You can try to roll against dominate. Will?

Yes. I will. There's a will. There's a way. I won't. I won't. You will remain dominated. And she says next time, use something more than a cantrip.

You can't tell me that. Coward. cowardly player she says she also says something in her horrible tongue to this zombie who breaks off from the pack

and comes towards you wait wait wait wait oh I'm sorry so that's flavor her saying that yes little flavor saying she's directing she's running the show here marshalling the battlefield the zombie peels off comes towards you and attempts to shove you you into the pit.

Me? But I'm doing what she wanted. Yeah, you can still do it from the bottom of that pit impaled on a spike. Okay. I'm just getting the pit never ends. Yeah, good question.

It's just, as usual. He likes to watch. All right, you're trying to shut me. I see him peeking around the corner. You can see him right there. He's going, uh-huh. I hope they make it out of this. He's going.

You can push your target up to 10 feet away from you on a critical success, five feet away on a success. This is going to be an Athletics check against your Fortitude D.C. And this isn't a strike, right? No, it has the attack trait. It's not a strike.

No, because the trigger is a strike and the other trigger is damage, so I can't do either of the... You might take damage at the bottom of this endless pit. The bottom of this endless pit. All right, so athletics against Fortitude DC. Shub, the shove action. The shove action, gotcha. Classic shove.

Ethel from Strange Aon's was a big shover. Oh, good. Hey. Chauvinethel. They call their old chauvinethel, him. All right, so, all right, in a second. It'll be a minus one. Let's see.

He thinks he's trying to shake her hand. Here we go. Larry Bert. No. 33. Okay. It's your fortitude. You see, that's fortitude.

I know. Plus 10. It's not a critical. Okay. It's a regular. I have a 28 fortitude DC. Okay. But you still push me 10 feet.

I push you 5 feet now. I get pushing the pit no matter what. Well, well. You have a grab an edge. I'm going to allow, I wouldn't have allowed grab an edge if I'd crit you because you'd go 10 feet out of school. But with a regular success, a 5 foot push, I will allow you the grab an edge reaction because you have not. Correct me from wrong. Use your reaction.

I haven't. So, let's just, before we start rolling dice, don't get too excited. You have your choice of acrobatics or reflex save. And I need to set the DC for this. Actually, I don't have to set the DC.

10. I think 10's fine. Probably 10. Probably 10th. Black Frost is sticky. Yeah, my hands are sticky. I have what I will use for the DC. Let me just find it.

And then I'm going to have you roll. What do you think? Acrobatics or Reflex? Be honest. Walk us through your process. I think Reflex. Yeah. That's your higher score. Yeah. You don't want to do acrobatics. Just be a real badass. No, but reflex makes the most sense. That's a choice. Okay. Then let me get the D. Don't listen to him. What's the higher number? Reflex. Okay. I have the DC to grab an edge right here. Written in the adventure. Okay. Please give me a reflex say it as you go.

Dude. Shove. This is crazy. My hands are so. I got a bottle cap. I know, I know. How many bottle caps? Two. I might use them both. She's got two?

I don't think you can on one roll. One per roll. I'll do whatever I want. Yeah, it's fair. Okay. Weird. Can't do that. Okay.

There's also fruit on your necklace. Oh. Talk it out. Okay. Don't ask him. Don't just say. Don't look at him. Don't even look at him.

I don't even look at you. I think it's actually fine. This is not very confident. You know, make sure I do the math, right? Just double-check my brain math. Yeah, it is. I think it's fine. I think it's fine.

Oh, my God. Sidney. 30. Oh, yeah. Oh. I don't know. He's crazy. You can't be higher than three.

I feel like that's fine. Success. Nice. So you get pushed in and you are hanging from the edge. Literally hanging. She looks at the queen. So epic. Why?

Why? The enemy is standing there with one action left. Sends out a area of black, blue mist around it, concealing it and you from your allies. No, oh. I'm on the cliff, and I'm scared. Queen Aquendia is just standing above this cloud of mist. Hold on, let's clarify. Flying above, I should say.

She moved five feet. I'm here. Did the creature move five feet with her? Oh, that's right, because you're in the pit. I'm holding. All right. Or did it stay where it is? And I wouldn't do the mist.

I forgot that you would actually move. I'm going to have it go into the space where you were standing. Oh, man. No, but it can do that and then cast the mist. No, it only had one more action. No, the shove, you can choose to move with the creature as long as you move in the same direction. You know, I read that. Yeah, you can stride after it, but you must...

No, but stride, it's capital S. You think that's a free stride? I think it's part of it. Yeah, it's unclear if that's a free stride or not. It's probably a free stride. I believe it's a free stride. Yeah. What I want to do is start stamping on your fingers.

But maybe you're right. But I don't know how to resolve it. Maybe it would say you can move with the target. Since it's a capital S, maybe it is it. Yeah. That doesn't make any sense, because you could just do that anyway as your next action. Right, but it cost me the action, and now I can't do the... I know what I'm saying is why would it cost you the action as part of this ability.

You could. You could just stride anyway after. The stride is part of the action if I succeed. Otherwise, because I could just stride anyways. So I'm going to take the free stride. But you know what? I'm actually going to, I'm not going to do anything else. Well, you know what?

I'm not going to do my mist. I'm just going to try and shove kick off. I'm going to, like, try and stay up on your fingers to shove you up. You could kick me? We'll see. That'll take the map. Yes, because it has the attack rate in natural force. So I failed.

Okay. Okay, good round for that guy Good round for that guy It's just stamping on your hands Let go Go Zephyr's last round of paralysis And the final

Black Frost zombie will Will attack Zephyr First attack 24 Miss Two second attack She's so tough 28

On the second Attack 11 points She's paralyzed Coward Points of bludgeoning And you will not take The five cold

Oh you You hit the paralyzed person Good for you Wow, we're all really Brett That's good hit How did you put it that way It closes on Rameas

Oh shit Oh wait a minute Sorry no Wait a minute Keep hitting me No that missed You're not paralyzed What do you mean?

Oh, it's the new round. The creature went after her, right? Wait. What? What? Oh, right. It's a new round. The creature went at...

No, but this is her third... It's three rounds. You're not allowed... There was the first round, the second round. This is her third round. It happened for both buckles and Zephyr in the same round. Right. But at the end of her turn, she's no longer paralyzed.

So what I'm saying is her AC was two point high or two points high. Correct, correct, yes. Oh, well, then you don't hit me. The 28 is a miss on her. The 28 is a miss. Thank you. Okay. Oh, I guess, that's interesting.

All right. So, yeah, that's huge. So give yourself the, whatever that, 15. Pick off paralyzed condition. Uh, yeah, Brandt. For you, too, Buggles. All right, so now it's top around six. And it's Aquendia's turn.

Equendia. Quendia has dominated geek. Dominated geek. I mean, that has to break the domination, doesn't it? I mean, I... The hostile action by her own ally? No, it's not like charm. It's controlled.

Controlled is a whole different thing. Unless I'm instructing you to do self-harm, it's different. Great equity of hell. That's why she gets that chance every round to remove the control condition, but she is dominated. You remember how dominate how badass it was in a giant slayer? But in original D&D, I remember it just... Oh, yeah.

It was just game over. You use all of your best stuff, too. It's just like you use all the worst things. It dominates pretty nasty. Why it's called Dominate, not like, come here. All right, so. Would I hang out? It's not called, want to hang out.

Come here. Come here. All right, so here's what she's going to do. This is an interesting, interesting move here. I think now is the time to do it. That zombie's got you under control. She is going to fly to the other side of the B-field.

It's short for battlefield. Uh, and she is going to... Why do they all have this crap? Unleash a breath on Buggles, Zephyr, Rameas, and one of the, uh, Zambinas. So I'm going to need... One and only one? The one behind Rameas doesn't get hit. Uh, no, she's going to do it in such a way, uh, raining down this icy, cold, uh, breath on, uh, on everyone.

Except, uh, two zombies and a gick. So please give me a reflex save. No problem. Come on, Rameas. Dude. Oh, my God. He's going to go unconscious. It's unbelievable how shitty I am.

Okay. What did you roll, Rameas? Keep in mind. Once the roll is said, they're not allowed to use. Bottle count. Oh, my God, it's such a big risk. All right, I'm going to bottle cap it. Oh, God.

I can't critically fail it. I'll go unconscious. And it's right on the critical fail line. 21. A graveyard of dice. It, like, it hits the psych. It, like, bounced. 21.

I can't believe. Rippled. For Rameas. How horrible I am. Zever. I feel bad. You just see seeing it? Like the way it...

No, I just feel bad for doing so good. No, I don't feel bad for doing good. 30. But it's my best save. Six. Buggles. 23. 23.

Success, half damage. Fail. Fail. Inches. From a critical fail. You probably saved it from a critical fail. You might have done. Was it 19 a critical fail?

Because that was my first role. Uh... Maybe. And then I boosted it up to 21. That is going to be 66 cold and 66 slashing. I knew it was permanent like that. So for my fails, you're going to take 35 points of damage. And I can tell you that...

That would have been 70. That's 16 cold and 19 slashing. So she's hurting her own guys. So I take half of that? Yes, you're going to take eight cold, which I assume you don't take, and nine slashing. Okay. So you'll take the nine slashing. And then that one guy that was next to Rameas, it already said dead on him, but I didn't roll his sick. So she rolls the dice, breathes on you guys. He takes half of the slashing damage. No, he takes all the slashing damage. Doesn't take any of the cold damage because he's immune to cold. And he's still up, but just barely. So that is her round.

Let's see. Well, I don't want to tell you about that. Okay, brother Rameas, you are still up. Tell us at home how many hit points you have. I have, do, do, do 13 hit points. Ooh, dang. 13. So critical failure would have put you at 9-2. By a wide margin, yeah.

9-2. Yeah. Um, man, it's so tricky. I don't think he can, I can't do anything. thing, but heal. Yeah. I don't really understand. Yeah.

But I'm wondering if I should just heal myself and not even damage them. It feels like I could get one guy out with a three-action heel. Seems like, maybe. Yeah, maybe. You did see that guy push Gick off, and then now it's just blackness over there. You assume Gick is gone. You heard, like a... Yeah.

Oh, no, you're deafed. You didn't hear anything. Can't hear anything, actually. You can't hear anything, yeah. My God, if you've failed a flat check to cast heel, I don't, I think we should all leave the room immediately. I don't think I have to roll a flat check to cast heel. Yeah. It doesn't have a verbal.

Well, when it's a, oh. It's not verbal. It has to have auditory. Auditory. It's different. Yep. You're right. He all is healing, manipulate, and vitality.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. So, man, I could really overthink the hell out of this. because I'm just my hesitation is that you both are so high on hit points now you just took a big hit I'm I'm fine yeah you're both fine but I am not yeah so you can heal yourself if I heal myself I do nothing to them and leave one of them up you're really squishy right now yeah yeah this is a very tricky situation uh uh man it's a good fight good fight here is a good fight um Tough, tough, tough.

Flip a coin. All right, I will heal myself. I'll try to keep myself up for another full round. Yeah, I'm going to move over to the wall. Put some distance between these zombies and myself. Try to put myself in a position. where I can't get flanked. Okay.

Uh, and then, or they'd have to put a lot of effort into flanking. And then I will heal myself to action heal. Heal yourself. Okay. Shit. We now move on to the return of Buggles. Okay. So Buggles, he snaps out of it.

And boom, he's going to cast a fireball, uh, like up into the air. so that I think I can catch the two Western-most zombies in it, like up in the air, like bring it down on their heads, basically. Yep. Without hurting, hitting it in my allies. So please give me reflex saves. Oh, my goodness.

This one of these is the one that is standing over Gick. Oh, standing over Gick. Yeah. All right, so we'll roll him first, reflex save, 29. That's exactly a success. And the other one rolled. A 24. Okay, fail.

All right. The one who, uh, the one who succeeded takes... 19 points of damage. 19. That's halved already. Or 17. 17. 17. No. 19. 19 points of damage. 19 points of damage. Not even though. Yeah. 18. 18 points of damage.

Okay. 18 points of damage. And the one who... failed, takes 37 points of damage. Okay. The one next to Gick takes a little bit more, is still up. The other one is toast. Nice. There we go.

Beautiful. All right. And then cool, man, this fight is nuts. Okay. And then with his third action, he turns to this woman and he says, Make peace with your soul, witch.

prepare to meet a living god and demoralize attempted demoralize it worked on me that is a 38 against her will be successful

oh my god so she is frightened one frightened one okay right and one okay burgls turn in the tide yeah that worked well she sees her army here

falling she sees all of her hope all of her chances of what she wanted to do, uh, capsizing around her. Yeah, I believe you could demoralize her. Gicks turn. Oh, man. You hear the voices below in the pit that says, let go. Let go.

Come to me. Let go. Come home. Uh, ah. Gicks like, I only listen to the queen. And she's going to try to... She's going to do what I tell her to do. You're still controlled.

Yeah, but she would preserve her life. I don't know why he even looked at you or spoke to you. She wouldn't let go of a cliff's edge. No, no, I'm just, that's flavor, the whispering people telling you to let go. Now I'm going to have you do something else. I want you to use your highest level spell on somebody. I can't see anything. I'm hanging on.

Yeah, that's true. That's why I think she would try to get up. I know, but you no longer control your character. Right. So she wouldn't get up. She wants you there. You know what? She's going to have you delay.

And then you don't roll your will safe. Isn't it great? No. That is fun. She's going to have you delay because now it's the black prize zombie's turn. He's going to attempt to push you in. Well, guys, he's cheating.

That's how it works. Good night, everybody. That's how it works. Dominate is bad. I'm going to do an athletics check. The flavor of what's happening here is that he's stamping on your fingers against my uh against your fortitude dc fortitude dc yeah uh shh yeah so it's essentially i mean it makes sense you're doing like a pull-up and you have to keep moving your

hands like this is all about your fortitude strength it's not good okay okay uh here we go this is going to be this could be real bad It's a good roll Not a great roll It doesn't have to be great It just doesn't be good 25 Ooh

Nope Nice Failure Failure Failure Okay It's first action So we'll take the map

Come on Shamm Shimmian Shimmian Shimmian Is with the map Cracked You're scary

I know he's so scary It's a better role That's going to be 21. Master of suspense, Troy LaValley. All right. I'm going to try it again one more time because it's fun. This is with the map. Fail.

Okay. Your survivalability is very impressive. Oh, boy. Luck of a gnome. She's getting tired. you're back. She's back! I'm like bursting at the fucking seams.

Like, pull me in, coach. This whole episode, you've had to just sit there. Yeah. Zephyr. You were a dragon, frubin. Walks up to the zombie that's trying to stomp on Gick's fingers and attempts to reposition it into the ditch. Yes.

Athletics check against your fortitude, DC. Okay, okay. Bottle capping it. Oh, wow. You have lots of those. Snag. Okay. Athletics 34.

Against my Fortitude, D.C. Regular success. So I move you five feet. I put you into the ditch. Grab the edge. Yep. What are you doing?

You have the chance to grab the edge. Apropics or reflex. And why? Reflects? Because I don't have any acrobatic. Come on. Make the bold choice.

It's the ghost of Mary Lou Retton. Late Mary Lou Loo. All right, so that's going to be a success. You grab the edge? My last action? Grabbing the edge right next to gig. I stomp on your fingers. Yeah, bangers.

Give me a... You got to move up. Well, here's the thing. You got to move up. Which is part of her show. She's part of your John. Oh, no, she did reposition. Do you get a stride in reposition?

American history is full of infamous tales that continue to captivate audiences, decades or even hundreds of years after they happened. On the infamous America podcast, you'll hear the true stories of the Salem Witch Trials and the escape attempts from Alcatraz, of bank robbers like John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd, of killers like Lizzie Borden and Charles Starkweather,

of mysteries like the Black Dahlia and D.B. Cooper, and of events that inspired movies like Goodfellas, killers of a flower moon, Zodiac, Eight Men Out, and many more. I'm Chris Wimmer. Join me as we crisscross the country from the Miami Drug Wars and Dixie Mafia in the South, to mobsters in Chicago and New York, to arsonists, kidnappers, and killers in California, to unsolved mysteries in the heartland and in remote corners of Alaska.
