This week on the Glass Cannon Podcast, a druid's life flashes before her eyes.
You saw a young boy in a tower. You saw Sir Will locked away in a dungeon.
You saw a woman in some sort of shadowy plane looking at a city in the distance.
While the others are helpless to save her.
At a city in the distance.
While the others are helpless to save her.
Onan Fexia reaches her hand into this incorporeal dust, stone-skinned shape, and critically hits on Slay Living.
Earth to Earth. Onan Fexia reaches into my dust form, like her hand goes into my dust body.
Right.
Creepy, dark, magic energy.
Ashes to ashes.
The pain goes through each individual
moat. Dust to dust.
Into each cell. Oh god.
The adventure continues.
How many dice are you rolling, Trix? Are you gonna do
it live or through a roller? Oh, I'm doing it live.
Now. it live or through a roller? I'm doing it live. No. Hey everybody, welcome to episode 193 of the Glass Cannon Podcast.
I'm Skid Maher, and I want to say right off the bat what an amazing time we had at our live show in Chicago.
The audience was great. The show went really well.
It was so great meeting old friends and new ones at the event afterwards.
And it was really cool for me personally to see my old buddy Ken from college and his new gaming group, Pathfinder Group, out there in Illinois.
That was a real thrill for me.
And despite the bone-chilling weather, we had a great time in the city, too.
And I want to thank the staff at Lincoln Hall because they were
amazing. They made it such a great
experience. And the volunteers, April and everybody else
who helped us sell merch, too.
They were awesome
as well. And on that note, I
want to encourage any of you
who are in the area and free to come
see our Dallas show on February 23rd.
We are going to be continuing
our Strange Eons playthrough. It is going to be continuing our Strange Eons playthrough.
It is going to be a blast, too.
If past history is any indicator,
you better be there. And if you're
not, you better be dead or in jail.
And if you're in jail, break out.
Or don't. Don't
break out of jail if you're in jail. If it's
a fair kind of
conviction, if you did
the crime you're accused of of go ahead and stay in jail
but otherwise please please come to the show there's still tickets available it is going to be
at least as fun as the other shows that we've done and they have been real damn fun but anyway
enough of that let us get on to this newest episode episode 193.
That's what you get for not caring about the March to 200.
Oh, so it was personal.
Yeah, I had a feeling it was personal.
But you just confirmed it.
Joe, have you ever felt Troy being spiteful before?
That seems totally out of character.
Never, Grant.
That's not my makeup.
It's not my makeup. It's not part of his build my heart is too too large too large and warm that's because of the
cholesterol so far away it's the cholesterol the cholesterol so lobster and the eggs i don't want
the heat of my heart to overpower you that heat is volcanic by the way that's what that is
it's it's heat coming out of your black pumice like heart that's what that is. It's heat coming out of your black, pumice-like heart.
That's what that is.
It's not any kind of human feeling at all.
I recently referred to your heart as being fossilized cigarette ash.
During an email exchange.
Yeah, it was like my grandmother's living room after 10 million years.
That's Troy's heart.
What did your grandmother smoke?
I just don't know.
Virginia Slims.
All right.
I was close.
Virginia Slims.
Virginia Slims.
Grant is jonesing right now.
He wants any cigarette
in his mouth.
I do.
Cheesy.
Put one out on my forehead.
Wait.
I don't even want to smoke it.
What did she smoke?
Tell me.
What brand?
What it tastes like?
You know what?
Because, Grant, I care about you.
Yeah.
And your lungs.
Uh-huh.
I'm going to tell the niche that you're quitting smoking.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's been out for a while.
You mentioned it on the Twitch.
You can tell looking at my face by the scratch marks.
Just constantly.
The claws.
No, but I think the nation has to hold you to it.
I've told.
No, that's part of why I told them.
My wife was like, I told you to tell them that.
And then, of course, we slept in silence with our backs turned to each other like every night.
No, but...
No, so...
I thought she slept in the tub.
I told you guys...
It's not going to be established.
No, I sleep in the tub when I'm being cranky.
No, so I told you guys this before but
when i wear the patch at night which i'd love to do i either have nightmares or beautiful dreams
you told me one it was really you're rolling the dice i've never like it was like listening
to a twin peaks dream david lynch has dreams like this never shouted at my mother in my life
and i had a dream where i shouted at her and she blamed me for losing her job uh and then what she would never do because she's a
diligent worker and then um the dallas mavericks came into my bedroom and walked past me without
saying hello to me and walked up a stairwell all of them yeah all of them all the starting five
luca well jerk's not starting anymore dennis Smith Jr. The current Mavericks. Yeah, exactly.
The current Mavericks.
Not all Mavericks in my history.
No, no, no. Not like the 88 Dallas Mavericks.
Rolando Blackman was not there.
Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper.
Yeah, I know.
Sean Roy Tarpley goes up.
What round was he drafted in?
Derek Harper?
Yeah.
Oh, first round.
His 14th overall pick.
I think in 1983.
I think he was the 14th.
I'm going to guess. He was the 14th i'm gonna guess he was the 14th overall
pick matthew's audit double check have we talked about this on this show i'm not sure that we did
i can't remember we did certain nba draft classes 1980 1983 nba draft uh-huh oh my god 11th overall
what a loser i'm a moron. You are. A little bit overall. That was amazing.
He was on the 1988 team, too. 83.
Yeah, he was.
It's not like he was a rookie and you just picked the year before for the draft.
No, no.
And 83, that is not my specialty draft, although I can name the first three players taken in
that draft.
Oh, go for it.
All right, Matthew, are you ready?
First overall was Hakeem Olajuwon.
Second overall was to Houston, out of University of Houston.
Second overall was Sam Bowie to Portland.
What draft are we talking about?
1983.
1983 draft.
Sam Bowie is drafted by, I think he was drafted by Portland.
Or Seattle.
He was drafted by Seattle.
Third overall was Michael Jordan to the Bulls.
No, I think you have the wrong year, buddy.
We're talking about 1983.
Yeah, 83 draft, yeah.
Ralph Sampson, Steve Stepanovich.
Oh, it's like an 84.
Sorry, I was thinking the 84 draft.
What's 84?
Jordan was drafted in 84?
Yeah, that was...
Number three overall?
Yeah, he was the number three draft.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
It's 84.
And people thought that Jordan was going to be injury prone
and not going to be very effective for a long time, right?
Well, I think that because Dean Smith managed to hold his scoring average down because of
the system that he had at University of North Carolina.
Who was drafted five in 1984?
Charles Barkley.
Charles Barkley!
Woo!
And number four, I think, was Roy Tarpley.
Is that right?
Sam Perkins.
Sam Perkins.
The sleepy Sam Perkins.
He looks like an alien.
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, I can't tell you guys.
Anybody who's not interested in this, you should know and be aware that we love this.
When we would play Jade Regent and Skid would go off for a little while on draft picks in
1989, we would just sit there like, and we'd grill him and look over the internet and be
like, this is ridiculous.
I have no interest in this, but I have great interest in Skid's feats of intellectualism.
interest in this but i have great interest in skids feats of intellectualism so uh well well you've distracted long enough yeah we've we've distracted long enough i mean
i can talk about ralph samson a little if you want university of virginia seven foot three
and i had a vivid dream outside of smoking Joe's grandmother's cigarettes.
Right.
That Matthew... We're all alive, by the way.
We forgot to mention that.
Yes.
Matthew, I had a dream that Matthew might be okay, but it was uncertain.
I woke up in nicotine sweats.
Yeah.
Well, hey, now that you put that out there, man, I think it's good.
They say you should tell your goals to lots of people because now you'll feel guilty if
you fail.
Yep.
And you should yeah every single live show from now on i'm gonna make sure i tell the whole crowd to support you
that seems like a real bummer are you wait are you cold turkeying you're not gonna have any
cigarettes nobody you've got the nick of the patch nick of nick of derms no but i mean you're not
gonna smoke any cigarettes ever that's what you're saying i can't i can't do what some people do just have like one at the end of the night yeah nightcap sig can't do that can't do it i bet if
you smoked one with the patch already i need to get a pretty sweet high did you guys ever see or
immediately die the aaron eckhart movie thank you for smoking yes you remember when they captured
him in the back of the van and slapped like 40? Yeah, that's basically my nightmare.
Wow.
Anyway, continue.
Well, before we get to resolving this wonderful thing, I want you to picture in your mind's eye this scene.
I want you to picture like just darkness, but not the type of darkness like just pure black,
because after a second that like, what am I actually looking at,
starts to kind of materialize as rock and dirt, sediment, layers of the earth.
You're underground.
And slowly as we're either panning up, over, left, down,
you're not quite sure you see a trickle of water.
Now very clearly the view, the POV here is moving upwards
and that one trickle of water becomes more and more and more and more trickles
filling up the ground underneath somewhere.
We keep moving up, and the water,
these rivulets start to combine,
and we come above ground,
and we see a huge stream of clear water
shooting up into the air.
A spring.
There's a waterfall that it eventually connects to that fills a reservoir that is being created by workers.
Feyraza stands on a hill watching this stream and watching laborers build the reservoir from which this spring empties into.
Also sees the workers building houses and a huge fence, wall,
surrounding what will eventually be this town on a hill.
You just scan your eyes across the landscape, and you see a home atop the hill closest to this spring
as a man emerges
and looks right at you.
You're brought back to this moment.
As Onanfexia reaches her hand.
Wow.
Into this incorporeal, dust, stone-skinned, cat-shape.
And critically hits on Slay Living.
Life crack.
Flashing before your eyes. Seriously.
Or is it my
life? That was true now.
Farazza wasn't alive when the channel was built.
Someone's life is flashing before your eyes.
Who is the man? Did you describe
the man at all? I didn't. Okay.
She came back into this moment
before she could.
But he saw her.
Yes.
Whereas in other visions you've had. Did she see what he looked like?
Or memories you've never been sort of interacted with.
Yeah.
Oh.
But we don't have any description of the man.
No.
This is a named character
Joseph O'Brien
So let's do a fan
Let's do a fan
Magical
Critical
Have we done a fan magical critical?
No we have not done a fan magical critical
I have read many
They are horrifying
They're the funnest ones to write
That's for sure
We would have had a lot more
Like if Della was still here
That something would happen
With some amount of regularity
So Joe
The last time you pulled out
A fan critical
You know what it did
To one of your characters
I know
I know
Do you feel a little less shaky
A little less nervous
A little less flop sweaty
About this one
Flop sweaty
No Well yeah A little bit less A little bit less Because sweaty about this one flop sweaty uh no well yeah
a little bit less a little bit less it's not you yeah but i haven't gotten i haven't read anything
yet i've already picked it i haven't read anything what number i'm looking at i'm not looking at the
screen what number uh five actually because the magical crits are very early in the list uh so Uh, so... What's it called? It is called Feel the Cosmos.
Oh, no.
Perfect!
C.S. Lewis?
Perfect!
Feel the Cosmos.
The universe swells rapidly around your target or targets with unseen power.
Time stops for a breath.
It's got chills.
Literally, this is random.
Come on!
And then releases into a thunderous yet silent boom,
complete with a quiet cacophony of swirling dust motes,
with swirling dust, motes of flame,
and visible static that raises your hairs.
The target of the spell takes double damage
and must make a fortitude save or become stunned for 1d3 rounds.
Silent but deadly.
Wow.
Wow.
Double damage.
So it's just like as it's about to hit you, time stops.
And it's just...
And you're in a vacuum, basically.
And you have to fortitude yourself if you live out of being like shut
down for a couple seconds the if you live is uh what i that's a big f that's the big f you're
caught back in that that oh my god sorry sorry i didn't i didn't say who this was i'm sorry
this was from robert the resplendent in sack town to the bay californ I know they're resplendent They're good people Thank you, Robert
Great family
Great
Well done
What is the DC of the 402 save?
We always forget this
Is it the critical confirmation?
Yes
Alright, so roll a 402 save
DC, was it 21 last week?
I think it was 21
Yeah, it was 21
DC, oh, okay
Is this gonna matter?
That's doable
Let's see if you're stunned
Natural 20
Okay
Alright
You're not stunned Alright The good news is Is this going to matter? That's doable. Let's see if you're stunned. Natural 20. Okay. All right.
You're not stunned.
All right. You're not stunned.
The good news is, you know, you're incorporeal.
And as an incorporeal creature, you only take half damage from a corporeal source, even
though this is a spell.
Yes.
It is still.
Because it is a spell.
Right.
The physical damage will do nothing.
How many dice are you rolling, Troy?
I'm going to roll 24d6 plus 20.
Jesus.
Are you going to do it live or through a roller?
I'm doing it live.
Oh, my God.
Someone get Troy the April Calculator.
Can you fill air with NBA drafts?
Yeah.
1996.
1996 NBA draft.
Oh, that's outside my wheelhouse.
Wait, what's your wheelhouse?
1992.
That was Kobe Bryant, I think.
I'm trying to distract myself.
1992.
More sixes.
That was first overall pick was Shaquille O'Neal.
First overall pick was Shaquille O'Neal.
From what university?
LSU.
To the Orlando Magic?
To the Orlando Magic.
Okay.
Oh, that's a lot of sixes.
Okay.
God damn it.
Shaquille O'Neal scored a lot of sixes.
Yes, he did.
Second overall pick was Christian Laettner.
He was three.
Oh, three.
Guys, the pick is in.
Okay.
All right.
Oh, my God.
We're going back to the floor.
The Detroit Pistons select. Oh, three. Guys, the pick is in. Oh, okay. All right. Oh, my God. We're going back to the floor. We're going back to the floor.
The Detroit Piston Select.
The Detroit with the number four pick in the Will Ferrazza Live or Die draft.
Oh, no, no.
I don't want to know.
Are you going to tell us the total total or the total after being halved?
I'm going to tell you the total total.
Okay.
And then I'll let you have it.
I just want to make sure that I do this right. You need a few more minutes? No, I'm going to tell you the total total, and then I'll let you have it. I just want to make sure that I do this right.
You need a few more minutes?
No, I'm ready.
We can go with more drafts.
We can always go back up into the studio.
It is 105 points of damage.
That's a lot of damage.
And then halved.
And then halved.
That would cut through your stone skin DR, I'm sure.
So that is 52 and a half, so 53 points of damage.
Yes.
I'm still alive.
52 points of damage.
Round down?
Round down?
Always round down.
Yeah?
Okay.
We always round down.
My experience of playing with Troy is you round whatever way is the exact rotation.
Are you sure?
When it's a half, do you square it?
Do you cube it?
So it's 52 minus 10.
So you took 42 points.
No, not minus 10.
It's got to be DR.
Oh, that's right.
Of course.
I'm an idiot.
I'm still alive.
All right.
What are you sitting at?
I'm not telling you.
Oh, come on.
I'm sitting at 41 hit points.
Okay.
You're good.
You're fine.
Thank God you're not stunned.
Yeah, thank God.
I know.
If you were stunned.
That is very serious to not act for multiple rounds.
Yeah. And, well, she also can't cast spells.
Can we undo that?
So...
No, no.
The way this crit happened, I imagine it's like just the...
Onanfexia reaches into my dust form, like her hand goes into my dust body.
Right.
And that creepy, dark magic energy just... And then all of a sudden time stops around us.
As, like, just, like, the pain goes through each individual mote of dust.
Yes, yes.
Into my, like, into each cell.
Oh, God.
God.
But then we hit that flashback, and what I want to know is maybe I noticed one more detail?
Since time has stopped.
One more detail.
You were locked in time there.
She was feeling the cosmos.
I was feeling the cosmos, Troy.
It's like Captain Marvel.
Feeling the cosmos.
Yes.
Can we call Matthew Brie Larson for now, please?
All right, Brie.
Brie and Dana.
One of the other Captain Marvels I was thinking of.
I'd be honored.
So if you're in that moment, you get hit by it.
You're already transported from that hit back in time to this vision, to this memory.
Maybe not even your memory, but maybe it was.
And the last thing you saw was a male figure come out of a hill near this spring in this town
or village being built.
As the damage
is taking effect, you
see
the face
and you know it to be
an elf.
It's over here. Oh, what? to be an elf.
Silvermane.
Oh, what?
Silvermane?
What?
That's all you know.
What?
Holy shit.
Is that you guessing, Matthew? Yeah, it's me guessing.
Silvermane.
Silvermane.
Well, we know he was there
at the founding
because he was old. And we know that was there At the founding Because he was old
And we know that he
And Lork knows Farazza
And Lork knows Farazza
Yeah
What did his eyes look like
That's what I want to know
Right
Were they Lork's eyes
Troy
Yeah
Don't elves have
Do elves have pupils
No they're all
I think they have black eyes
Yeah that's right
Well
When he's hitting his board
He's like
You see Lork's eyes
I'm sure he was just drunk he was like, you see, look, size.
I'm sure he was just drunk.
I don't know.
I know, like, Marizio's iconic.
What does that mean?
Marizio's iconic art.
She doesn't have pupils.
She just, or, you know, she just has the black eyes. I do love the male elf.
I love the idea, though, of, like, if this is what it is. I'm just, I'm fan
crafting right now. I'm writing fan fictions.
Slash fiction. Whatever.
I just
love the idea that part of
why Silvermane is as prepared as
he was and was ready to deal with it
and be a leader that he was was because
he failed so many times.
I don't mean, don't take that as negatively
as it sounds.
He worked hard.
He fought hard.
Well said, Grant.
I don't mean it that way.
You guys know that.
So poetic.
He put his body on the line.
And with that wisdom,
he led Trinidad to even exist on the edges of insanity
that is Belkson for so long.
If that is the case.
There's only one explanation
for him to be able to do that.
Only one.
The elves of Galarian have
vibrantly colored pupils.
Large, vibrantly colored pupils.
So his eyes can be any color.
Really?
I think that changed.
The coloration varies wildly.
In playtest slash second edition, I think it changed.
Well, I think it changed.
All you need to know is that male elf looked at you. Wildly. In playtest slash second edition, I think it changed. Well, I think it changed. Yeah, I think.
All you need to know is that male elf looked at you.
At me.
At you.
You've had these visions.
Before you came with this crew, you may have even had these visions. You saw a young boy in a tower.
You saw Sir Will locked away in a dungeon.
You saw Sir Will Locked away in a dungeon
You saw a woman
In some sort of
Shadowy plane
Looking at a city
In the distance
And now you see a city being built
Near a spring
And a male elf
Comes out of a house nearby
And looks directly at you
It is The Hope Spring And a male elf comes out of a house nearby and looks directly at you.
It is the Hope's Break.
There's so much hope.
Yeah.
It is.
A lot of people are going to die there.
Fey Raz's turn.
Okay.
We're right back to the action.
Right back to the act.
All righty. Well, it's good that you have all your spells available to you i know
you're untalented you're up jesus um okay uh is going to take a bite
At a crime?
That's an old glass counter joke
That's good
Bringing it back
Faraz is going to try to bite
Onanfexia
Oh the old bite to the Onanfexia
Come on
That is 21
That is a miss
I think I gotta go claw, claw.
You wanna do a little claw, claw?
Or do I get out of there?
Tough call.
You're in corporeal.
Tough call.
I'm pretty banged up.
You're in corporeal.
A pretty bad spell.
I mean, you are the main target of her right now.
Yeah.
Maybe she'll go after the lion.
She's not gonna crit again.
She might do it like a
around the lions.
Or she might just have some other
really badass spell that she crunches
you with uh i gotta get out of there so i'm gonna move through i can i can move through all these
squares because i'm incorporeal but i will provoke uh from own infectsia and from uh the other guy
what from zoya uh yeah you do you want to try and uh Actually, you know what? I will... Oh, no. Zoya Betta doesn't have a weapon.
So... No, Zoya Betta picked up her weapon.
Oh, picked...
Yes.
All right.
I'm going to go the long way and go through the...
Oh, I still would provoke.
Yeah, you are surrounded by all three villains here.
Yep.
I'm going to go through Zoya Betta.
Through Zoya Betta's space?
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's still going to provoke.
Double provoke.
From everybody.
Yeah.
There's no way I can't provoke from everybody.
You can avoid provoking from the creature that first hit Pembroke, the Cyclops, the
unhooked Cyclops.
All right.
Zoya, first own Infectia will take a swing with her soith.
Soith.
Natty, 18.
Oh, man.
So you take... Some tough
customers here.
16 points of damage. So no points
of damage.
Oh, yeah.
Half and then... Keep forgetting that you're
stone dust.
And now, you're gonna get
swung at by a scythe, which if it hits, will do energy drain.
Does your stone skin protect you against that?
I don't think so.
You guys had to see Troy's dramatic.
He stared Matthew down and then rolled.
The no-look roll.
The no-look roll.
It is a 34 to hit.
That hits. Now, this is not a magical weapon
then nothing happens nothing happens you can only touch me with a magical weapon yeah
yeah i guess so it's just masterwork quality yeah maybe you should have gotten ghostbane
dirge ass swings at you with the uh masterwork scythe and would have hit But you can't be hit by
How is it doing energy drain?
Does it have a goo on it or something?
Is it like a physical substance that does the energy drain?
It's just
It's within the creature itself
The creature is emanating that energy
Into the weapon it holds
So if the creature hits you with its fist
It would still do energy drain
I gotta get off this guy.
I gotta get the fuck out of here. This is not good.
This is not good. It did burn
an AOO. You do get out of there
and you provoke from the lions, though,
too, unfortunately.
Actually,
you know what? Pembroke can't control them.
Faraza, noticing what happened
with that
guy, will stop her movement.
So she'll stay in melee
with uh
with uh
yeah
that's my favorite coconut water
and she'll be like
the sorcerer
uh all right
you see this like voice coming out of a
huge war cat behind you
made of dust
so creepy stone dust stone dust Do you see this voice coming out of a huge war cat behind you? Made of dust. Made of dust.
Stone dust.
So creepy.
Stone dust.
All right, so.
Stone dust.
Such horseshit.
Zoya Bennett is going to take a five-foot step away from the lions.
Obviously, a little bit closer to Feyrasa, but smells blood.
That provokes for me, doesn't it?
Five-foot step. Oh, yeah.
Five foot step. And we'll
take a couple
attacks at Dalgrith. Try to get
you off.
Okay. First attack.
Oh,
did you see that? Were you looking at my die?
I purposely didn't because I don't like
looking at your die. Something about this tray. I'm telling
you, it goes, this time it went 20 to 2, back to 20, stopped, and then went to 2 again.
It's going to be a 22 to hit.
That's a minus.
Minus 6, so yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, it is minus, yeah.
So I rolled this for Matthew earlier.
It is minus, it's a miss, but keep rolling.
I'll tell you why in a second.
All right.
Well, second attack is going to be...
God!
A natural one.
Yeah!
Fan fumble?
Well, you got a roll to confirm, but here's the thing.
It is a minus eight to hit.
I have a rogue trick called Befuddling Strike.
When the rogue deals sneak attack damage to an opponent the
opponent takes a minus two penalty on attack rolls against the rogue for 1d4 rounds a while back i
rolled this for matthew uh on the side i just said remember that number and it was a four okay
four rounds so it's a minus eight not wow it was natty 18 so i'm assuming it's not confirmed well
what is the adjusted after after you add it up we got defensive training troy wait so assuming it's not confirmed. Well, what is the adjusted after you add it up? We have defensive training, Troy.
Wait, so it's minus eight?
Minus eight.
25.
Just a miss.
Okay.
Yeah.
Phew.
Yeah.
My AC's not perfect by any means.
Wait, so that's a confirmed fumble.
That's a confirmed fumble.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait, oh, your AC.
Why don't you assign it, Joyce?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You just rolled a miss, so it's a confirmed fumble.
Oh, God. I thought I got it. You just rolled a miss, so it's a confirmed fumble. Oh, God!
I thought I got it!
Wow, Natty18?
The tone there was very confusing.
You really weren't excited about the fumble.
I forgot it was a fumble.
Okay.
Okay, this one from Samuel in Santa Barbara, California.
Broke the darn thing off.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Oh, shit.
I don't know if this is bad for me.
You hit your foe.
Weird start.
But you struck so recklessly that you damaged your own weapon or hurt yourself.
If you attacked with a weapon, your enemy takes normal half damage as if you had hit it, but your weapon is destroyed.
Oh, wow.
A successful reflex save instead leaves the weapon with the broken condition with one
hit point left, but your foe also takes no
damage. I like that one. It's fun. It's good.
If you attacked with a natural weapon,
blah, blah, blah. So you get a
reflex save against my AC,
which is 26.
In an hour and a half,
that'll stop rolling. Failed.
Are you adding the plus? So your weapon is destroyed, and
I take half damage of a normal hit.
But you also take energy drain.
And I also take energy drain.
So half damage.
That's a tough timing
for that one.
That is really bad.
Such tough timing for that one.
It's 25 normal,
so 12 regular
and another level of energy drain.
Do you know why I love this?
And I hate energy drain,
but I'll take it on this one
because that's a cool fumble
and it's broke the darn thing off.
So the tip of the scythe broke off in Dalgrith,
and it's like infecting him.
Oh, yeah.
Right?
That is cool.
But the weapon is destroyed now.
I no longer have a masterwork scythe.
We're down to slamming types.
What was the half damage?
I'm sorry.
12 total.
12.
Okay.
Yes.
Shit box.
Wow. But my two hits are just going down and down and down there's so much
happening here all right so that was
that was the way about it sure and now
it is Dalgrace turn now it is Dalgrace
turn okay yeah if a Raza says go for the
sorcerer he's a little he's a little
concerned here though about trying to cover that ground while he's already on this creature.
He's got a good grip.
But energy drain, bro.
It's still a big room, obviously.
The tomb, every room here has been big.
But this one is a little bit more compact, and there's shit in it that makes movement difficult,
especially where all these giants have reach.
Yeah, okay, so feeling that
something is sickening him,
he is going to leap
off of the creature
and
he will run
across the room and jump
on the other creature. Oh my god.
Afexia? Yeah, so this is two,
a double move action,
provoking two attacks of opportunity.
And let's see if he has enough movement.
He does not have enough movement, so he is going to trigger his expeditious armor ability.
Uh-huh.
And will extend his speed by five more feet, which gets him on Oninvexia.
Wow.
And they do not have combat reflexes.
Nice.
So they do not. Oh, because they do not have combat reflexes. Nice. So they do not.
Oh, because they both used it already.
Okay, great.
So he will traipse across,
and then he attempts the climb check on Onanbexia.
Right.
Let's see.
I think I have this math right here.
Yeah.
Got it.
That's going to be a 43.
Yeah.
And he jumps on her.
Nice.
So you are on Onan Vexia.
Love it.
On Onan Vexia.
Yes.
Yes, clinging to her very legs as you did to the Titan of Mulgraves.
You've heard of that?
Yes.
In Druma, I heard there was much rejoicing.
Titan.
It was a bit of a misnomer, wasn't it?
Yes, it was smaller than it seemed at first
glance. Much easier
to kill than it sounded.
Alright. Alright, so that's it for
you. Yeah, that's my round.
But, man, negative levels.
Not cool. Got a couple
of those. Not cool, bro. It is
the minion
over here. The minion's turn.
The minion is going to
go after the
leftmost lion here.
What was that one named?
Striker?
Aluminium Jerry.
Sorry, Aluminium Jerry, yes.
So it's just going to go up and take
one attack on Aluminium
Jerry. 24 to hit.
That is a hit. Alright, so it hits Aluminium Jerry. 24 to hit. That is a hit.
All right, so it hits Aluminium Jerry for nine points of damage.
Okay, and it has DR.
Comes up and just nine points of damage.
Okay.
And that's all it does, and it is Baron's turn.
Baron is going to immediately take a five-foot step backwards.
He's going to use a move action to quick clear his gun using his second-to-last grip point of the day.
And then he's going to fire at the giant name, Onanfexia.
Onanfexia!
Let's see what happens.
You ready, Troy?
Yep.
Will you fire on Onanfexia through all those people?
I actually have a straight shot. I'm sorry. Doi bet. Doi bet. I don't want to infect you. I threw all those people. I actually have a straight shot.
I'm sorry.
Zoya Betta.
Zoya Betta.
I apologize.
They have weird names.
Weird names.
I don't know why I have to suggest it.
That's a 29 against Touch AC.
Yeah.
That'll do it.
That is 31 points of damage.
Holy crap.
Okay.
And that's my turn.
And that's your turn.
All right.
Zoya Betta's been lit up a little bit.
Zoya Betta's looked better?
Zoya Betta's looked better. Fair. You. Does Zoya Betta's look better? Does Zoya Betta's look better?
Fair.
You guys want to go to a Stone Dust concert later?
Stone Dust.
We could call this episode Zoya Better Than Ezra.
It was good living with you at home.
Pembroke, it is you and the Lions time.
All right.
So the Lions.
Let's do the Lions first.
Flying Pembroke.
So Kim, the Lion, still on the pedestal there.
Yes.
She is going to bite.
Okay.
And that is a 26.
That is a 26 to hit.
26 is a hit.
All right.
And that is, let's see.
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, that's nice. Da-da-da-da-dum.
Oh, shoot.
Oh, that is 13 points of damage.
Okay.
And a free grab.
And that's a miss.
Okay.
It's good damage, by the way.
It's good.
Solid damage.
I mean, good flavored.
Good flavored, okay.
I was just praising your damage.
Oh, thank you.
It's good. All right. And let's praising your damage. Oh, thank you. Tastes good.
And let's see. Swing with a claw.
That is a miss.
And swing again with a claw. Another miss.
Okay. Alright.
So now it is Striker's turn. Come on, Striker.
And he also bites at
Orthoraxia. That is a hit.
Yeah! And ooh!
That is excellent
That is 20 points of damage
Now that's good damage
That is some damage
And that's a free grab
Fails
And then a bite
That is 27
That is a 27 hit
Great
And that is 11 points of damage
My lions are horrid Ooh are another hit with the other claw
and that is 10 points of damage and they get a rake attack oh jesus uh so these are good lions
all right these aren't the detroit lions no they're not nope uh so right, that's just damage, right? I just...
Yeah.
I think it's whatever the claw damage is.
Okay.
So that's nine points of damage for the rake.
Raws and rips.
Why don't you just always...
Both sets of claws and rips.
Why don't you just always summon a bunch of smaller creatures?
It's awesome.
Yeah.
This is so much damage from all these different sources.
And now it's Pemi's turn. And now,
well, we forgot about Aluminium
Jerry. How could I forget
Aluminium Jerry?
Not Fusilli Jerry.
No, not Fusilli Jerry at all.
So this thing's at Zoya Betta.
Zoya Betta. Bites
at her. That's a
that is
a 27 to hit.
27 to hit?
Yes.
Oh, great.
Okay, so that is 13 points of damage.
Okay.
Free grab.
Oh.
You're telling me there's a chance.
There is a chance, I think.
That is, ooh, 30.
That is not a graph.
Samsonite.
Alright.
Strike with the claws.
90-15.
That is a...
Sorry.
27.
27, yeah.
Okay.
And... That is... 12 points of damage.
Okay.
Another claw.
Miss.
I feel like if you made that last one, the casino would have asked you to leave.
I know.
That was amazing. That was a hell of a round.
Pretty hell of a round.
Great job.
That was not done.
And now it's Pemmings, yeah.
And now it is Pembroke's turn.
And he is floating up in the air as he is. of a wrap. Great job. And now it's Pemmings, yeah. And now it is Pembroke's turn, and he
is going, floating up in the air as he
is, he is going
to attempt to
hit
Zoya Betta with a
Disintegrate spell.
Oh!
Zoya Betta?
Oh my god. Zoya Betta.
Zoya Betta over here. Zoya Betta. Zoya Betta over here.
Zoya Betta.
So that is a 21 against Touch AC.
21 against Zoya Betta's Touch AC.
And then that is a DC 22 Fortitude save.
Oh, come on, bro.
Fort's pretty good.
Natural 20.
Okay.
All right.
You didn't give it That extra second
No
To flip over to two
So that's 22 points of damage
That's still 22 points of damage
Okay
Crap
That's a lot of damage
That round you just laid out
So you better
What a round
From Pembroke
What a great job
Pretty good
And then
Pembroke is going to
Fly back a little bit
He's going to fly back
About 10 feet
Fly back about 10 feet. That's smart.
Right next to Dustcat
Feyraza. Yes.
It is Onanfexia's turn.
Onanfexia
is not happy
with your little
lion situation there.
But there are also seven of you.
So targeted spells and whatnot
are going to be a little tricky.
Oh, my God.
Area of effects coming at us.
I feel it.
Oh, no.
Don't forget, she has a dwarf on her.
She does have a dwarf on her.
She should see a dermatologist about that.
I think they can slice it right off.
With the cast defensively.
All right.
This is what I think I'm going to do.
Yeah.
I'm going to go ahead and take a five-foot step back.
And I've got to carry Dalgraith with me.
I'm going to try to cast defensively.
This should be a gimme.
Oh, just made it.
And she casts Unholy Blight.
Oh, no.
Who's good?
Raise your hand.
Everyone except Baron.
Everyone except Bear Bear. Why am I not good?
Awesome. Oh, right. You didn't raise
your hand.
Are you of good alignment? Lawful neutral
according to this, but I've been acting pretty
good a bunch over the last episode.
All right, we'll count you as good. No, you don't have to.
I'm going to count you as neutral.
Graham, what were you thinking? I'm lawful neutral. It's up to you i need no of course you're you're you're very good grant all right so everybody officially announced my alignment
change right now on the episode you can't just do this without announcing i have an alignment
change no no i'm kidding you're i mean good as in you're fine okay i'm sorry i'm not being clear
everybody roll a will save all right okay. My will save has gone down.
Poison spell or spell like a building?
I bet it has.
Poison spell or spell like a building.
It is a spell called Unholy Blight.
All right.
I'm just asking you.
Uh...
It is a physical attack called Unholy Blight.
It could be super natural.
She attacks you with her sharp Unholy Blight.
Yeah.
I don't play a lot of Undead Giants.
Is that bludgeoning or slashing?
Talk about what Will saves.
18.
Okay.
What about you, Pepe?
31.
Oh, all right.
Pemmies?
I got 19.
Striker got a natural 20.
I forgot about all them.
Kim got a 17. And Aluminium Jerry failed.
Okay.
What about Baron?
24.
All right.
So it looks like only Kim failed.
Kim's video?
It was DC 18.
I only had a plus two.
So none of you are sickened.
No, no.
Two of his guys failed.
Oh, two of his guys.
Two of the Lions failed.
Oh, that's right.
Two of the Lions.
Kim and Aluminium Jerry.
So it's half Dimash?
So, yeah, it would have been 21 full to the good people, so it's just 10.
10 damage.
21 full to the good lions.
Troy, you're chip, chip, chipping away here, buddy.
That's what I'm trying to do here.
It's a war of attrition.
For realsies.
And for you, Baron,
as a neutral character, only good neutral characters are harmed by the spell.
It's that. Oh, so it's gonna be
just 5d6
to you halved.
As opposed to 5d8.
I'll get my own roll. How convenient.
Yeah, to get your own roll.
I rolled alright. Not great. 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15. So
7 points of damage to you.
And none of you are sickened.
None of you.
Nice.
None of you.
I'm sickened by your conduct.
Unholy blight.
But I know those hit points.
They're going a little down.
Ooh, they're going down.
Yeah, those spells go right through Sunskin.
Doesn't matter.
It's a new round
It's Feyraza's turn
I think she's sitting on 30 something hit points
31 hit points
Yeah
Oh man
36 hit points
Godric of Poche
What'd he get?
What'd he got?
What'd he goo?
Feyraza is gonna
What'd he get?
What'd he got?
What'd he goo?
Pretend that didn't happen
And we'll do claw claw bite
It happened
Claw claw bite on Zoya Betta
Claw claw bite on Zoya Betta claw bite on zoe better okay how come you
can hit things that are corporeal but they can't hit you do you remember fighting that 50%
i mean come on it's a half damage in my in my attacks let's confirm this are they i think you
just hit i think you're in corporeal you're running the show usually they're touch attacks
a lot of these creatures and they do things other than damage.
Everything is against its touch AC.
Either that or Troy ran the rat battle,
the ghost rat battle,
and the barrel of battle totally wrong.
It's possible.
That was like our 10th F.
Well, the other one was our 120.
We did a D20 and a D8.
According to the spell of dust form,
you are also considered incorporeal,
though any non-magical attack you make deals half damage.
Oh, okay.
There you go.
So please, do your crappy damage to my giant.
21 misses?
That is a mias.
Claw, miss.
Mias.
Claw, miss.
He keeps on using the die.
I hate that die.
Free action.
Yes.
All of a sudden, stone dust thorns burst from Farazza's skin.
What?
I always forget to use this, but it's called Bramble Armor.
It's a supernatural ability I have.
All right.
So if you hit me, you're going to take some damage.
Well, then poop on me.
They're pointy.
They're pointy.
They're pointy.
Hit him with the pointy.
Now with points. Now with points.
Alright, FateRodster.
We got Grant on that one.
Now with points. So I can't
hit you with my fist. No, you can't
take damage from the points. But would he know
that? Would she know that? He'd know that. It's true.
I did try to swing at you in an attack of opportunity
and it did nothing. I swing at thee.
This thing has a 19 wisdom. I think
it's gonna do some power of deduction here.
Anyways, it's turn.
Tired of your turn, Feyraza.
Tired of all your turns.
All right, Dalgraith has left it.
So it is going to charge at Baron.
There seems to be less than 10 feet across.
Oh, but it has reach.
Did I move at least 10 feet?
I did.
Good.
So provoke from your shitty cat.
That'll be a 27 to hit.
Did you get that out of your system?
That's a miss?
Yeah, that's a miss.
And this thing is going to just do one big old slam to Baron Berenstein.
No, don't give Tepnag levels to my boy Bear Bear.
Not at the Berenstein beers.
Here comes the negs.
Oh, did you see that?
20.
I was like.
It's still going to be a 34 to hit.
I am going to enact an ability.
Oh.
My divine interference ability.
Sounds like a spell.
Nope.
Sounds like something you can't do after you did an attack of opportunity.
It's a feat.
Can't do it.
As an immediate action.
You can't take an immediate action in the round where you did an attack of opportunity.
Is that true?
It might be.
Look it up.
Read the ability to feat.
You know what it is?
If you did a swift action or a full round action the round before, you can't do it.
It's not a reaction.
It's not pathfinder 2.0.
No, no, no.
Immediate action. Trust me. Go ahead. You can do it. You can probably do it. I'll a reaction it's not papyri no no no immediate action well trust me go ahead you can do it you probably do it i'll look up i want to
know what it is yeah tell us what your stupid idea is i'm going to sacrifice a prepared spell
okay to force you to re-roll that d20 oh wow really this is a feat i took you think you're
something and i'm going to sacrifice a fifth level spell spell. So not only do you have to take the lower result,
I know you take the re-rolled result,
but you take a minus five.
Whoa!
Wow.
So I have to re-roll, have to take a minus five.
Yes.
You cannot use an immediate action or swift action
if you use an immediate action
when it's not currently your turn, which you didn't.
You also can't use an immediate action
if you're flat-footed.
It doesn't say anything about not being able to use it.
Did you use a swift action that term?
No.
No.
A pre-action for my bramble armor.
Yeah.
You can't change the term.
Yeah, you're good.
Beautiful.
All right, so now I reroll.
You reroll.
At a minus five.
At a minus five.
Against a guy with giant defensive training.
Come on.
Oh!
25 different rolls before it hits it.
All right, so it's going to be a 24 to hit.
That's not a hit.
Plus two for charging, 26.
Still not a hit.
Even without the giant defensive.
Wow.
Huge, Feyraza.
All right.
Thank you, Feyraza.
Final cap for Matthew.
Nice.
All right.
Matthew.
I don't have any, but.
I love that Matthew just used. You don't have any, but... I love that Matthew just used...
Of course, you don't have any on his list.
Put it on the board.
Put it on the board.
I love that Matthew just used a bottle cap equivalent skill to gain a bottle cap.
That's amazing.
Well, not bottle cap equivalent anymore.
Yeah, that's true.
Skid has gifted me with a Lagunitas.
Lagunitas.
I like the way you said it.
Yeah, it was really good.
Lagunitas.
Thank you, Skid.
It is Dalgrate's Deathbringer's turn.
He is at top.
Onanfexia.
Onanfexia.
Onanfexia.
Dalgrath is trying to get his grip on this woman and find the angle of attack.
He doesn't see it yet.
He's going to hold.
Hold?
He's going to hold his action.
Oh my God.
And the death grips.
Yeah, he's trying to find an opening. He doesn't see one yet, so He's going to hold his action. Oh my God. And the death grips. Yeah, he's trying to find an opening.
He doesn't see one yet, so he's going to hold his action.
The zombie, that Cyclops zombie, it crumbles to the floor.
Whoa.
What?
Shit, it got gunk.
Stone dust?
And becomes inert.
Wow.
Wow.
That's some shitty craftsmanship you got going there
And it is Baron's turn
You gotta make things the dwarven way if you want them to last
Baron's going to take a diagonal step backwards
Diagonal step backwards
Putting his back against the wall
15 feet away
This is it, no more backing up
Scythe McGee, who no longer has a scythe
So I should be outside of his attack range
Just McGee Am I outside of his attack range based on what... Just McGee.
Am I outside of his attack range based on
what I've observed in battle so far?
I believe I am. I just want Baron to know.
Yeah, you think so. Alright.
Unless he can slam from 15 feet away.
What'd you get? Okay.
Can't? No, I don't know. I don't know.
You're fine. Alright. You're fine.
Here we go. Baron is
going to do a fall attack.
Action.
Okay.
The first attack is a misfire.
No.
God.
My favorite word.
You're not using your red D20.
Where's your red, man?
Where's old red?
What happened?
Wow.
That is a game-changing moment.
So Baron misfires on a one to five with pistol training.
Not a one to seven, as I said before.
That's base rules.
One to five.
What did you roll?
You're not going to roll.
I rolled a two on that die.
Sounds like a fumble.
Baron's going to roll.
You know why?
Baron's going to roll.
Here's the thing.
We haven't talked about this in a while.
Yes.
How much money have you spent on the last one. No.
No, we've talked about that plenty.
No, we can fix it if we get out of this
a lot. Okay.
I used to get grit points back
for doing daring actions in combat,
which is written into the gunslinger and
swashbuckler thing. I think that's a D&D thing,
but okay. No, it's in Pathfinder.
You're mixing up systems.
If I hit on this attack. Definitely Cthulhu. If I hit on this attack, it's a daring attack. You're mixing up systems. If I hit on this attack.
Definitely Cthulhu.
If I hit on this attack, it's a daring attack.
It could mean that my gun explodes.
Can I please have a grip point back if I hit?
You make a hell of an argument.
I would say it's pretty daring knowing that the next round this thing can five foot step and take you home.
Take you down to Chinatown.
Here we go.
So maybe I'll get a grip point.
12 on the die. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, maybe for a 26 against touch.
That is a hit.
Oh, my God.
We're talking a bout.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
24 points of damage.
Okay.
All right.
See, you're getting that high from living on the edge.
Are you going to keep rolling?
Wait, did he get a grip point?
You get a grip point back.
All right.
Final attack.
No, that's a move action.
I can't.
Yeah, you moved.
What do you mean you can't?
You do it next round.
I will.
You took a five-foot step.
I have a grip point.
Oh.
But instead of doing that,
I'm going to get up close and deadly
because I'm a goddamn gambler.
Oh, misfire!
14 on the... Oh, that's a hit what okay 10 11
really really okay so that's 29 points of damage against them 29 points of damage wow okay he's He's still up. Oh, no. Oh, no. It doesn't look good. Oh, no.
But he's still up.
Oh, no.
And it is Pembroke's turn.
Okay, Pembroke.
Pembroke and the Lions.
Pembroke.
Well, that's a great band name.
It would.
That would be good.
I've thought of a name for you, at least for today.
Pembroke the Pride Master.
Yes, I like that. Oh, it's an honor to be deemed so by a
hero of your work. He's like swinging
around the bars. Just for today!
I glance on the other side of her.
I like it. That just makes it, and it's a
good thing, but it sounds like Pembroke was at the Stonewall
Riots, and he was a
gay pride leader all these years. I'd be totally
honored to be that. I'm proud of you.
Dear diary,
today.
So Pembroke,
he's going to go,
so he's going to cast haste,
which should affect all of us.
I should have done this way earlier,
but I already tasted.
What a waste of a turn.
And then that's,
and then with his move,
he's going to go over to get a clean line of sight
on, on a, sorry, Zoe Betta. And then with his move, he's going to go over to get a clean line of sight on...
Sorry, Zoya Betta.
And with his final use of his metamagic rod, as a swift action, he's going to cast lightning bolt on her.
So that is a...
On Zoya Betta?
Yeah, that is a DC 19 reflex.
I believe in you.
Reflexia.
50-50 chance.
Fail.
Oh, hell yeah.
Dunzo.
All right.
32 points of electricity damage.
Oh, boy.
And Baron took it to negative 19.
Oh, so I get another Grit Boy back.
That's how it works.
Yeah, that is.
You take it below zero.
I didn't want to tell you, but that obviously enacted ferocity, but you have now killed it.
Yes!
Her.
Her.
Her.
Her.
She had a name!
So there is only Onanfexia left.
Only Onanfexia.
Crawling all over is Dalgrith Deathbringer.
Who handled this action.
Okay, so...
I picture the lions slowly padding in.
From three angles.
Yeah, yeah.
Her back's against the wall!
Yeah.
So, Aluminium Jerry kind of stalks around behind her
to get where the Cyclops was.
Okay.
And he...
Can he hold his attack until they get flanking?
Yeah.
Okay.
So you want to...
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, he can move and ready an action.
Yes, he's going to ready an action
as soon as Kim gets into flanking position,
he's going to attack.
Okay.
All right, so Kim is going to jump down um
on the opposite side and kim that's a that could be a provocation yeah she's not taking
attacks opportunity right okay all right so kim is flanking she is going to do her first attack.
That is 25 to hit.
25 is a miss.
Okay.
Damn.
27 is our target number.
And she moved, so that's 26.
But now the other one, is that where you wanted it there?
Right on the other side?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so now she is flanking, and she gets one attack.
Okay.
Oh, wait.
Oh, that's a 27 because of the flanking.
Then that is a hit.
Okay.
All right, cool.
Then that, my friend, is a hit.
That is 14 points of damage.
Okay.
Free grab.
No.
All right, and so Aluminium Jerry is going to take.
That is a natty 19.
That is a hit.
Yeah.
Ooh, that's 20 points of damage.
God, he's lying.
20 points of damage.
He's lying, man.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Free grab.
And that is an 18 on the die.
Oh.
That is 30, 33.
Oh, we just can't win.
33 to grab? Final answer?
Yes. That is not a grab.
Okay.
I like the final answer.
So, Striker
is going to pounce.
Oh, pounce.
Is there a pounce? So, he's going to jump
without incurring an attack.
Yeah, no, he's going to pounce.? So he's going to jump without incurring an attack.
Yeah, yeah.
No, he's going to pounce.
Okay.
So he's going to jump at her with his two claws.
And if he gets a rake.
Come on, Skid.
That's a miss.
Ew.
And a miss.
That's two misses.
Miss, miss with the rake.
Now it's Pem's turn.
Yeah, he already went. Oh, you already went.
You did your line of...
So Dahlgraith is going to go. Oh, he already went. Oh, you already went. You did your line of... So, Dalgrath is going to go.
Oh, now Dalgrath is going to go.
Because now he finds himself in a flanking position!
Yeah, baby!
All right.
He's opened himself up.
And he got the haste.
And now he's got the haste.
Yes, man.
This seems like a simple question I should know the answer to, but can you do a full attack while you're climbing?
A full attack with one hand?
I feel like that's a vexing dodger question.
Yeah, I mean, well, I mean, not really.
Well, to be fair, Troy, it is a vexing dodger.
It's really hard to figure out when it's vexing.
It's a vexing question.
It is a vexing question.
Hey, good one.
All right, so for the moment, I'm not sure, so I'll just do one attack here. So it's a vexing question. It is. It's a vexing question. Hey, good one. All right. So for the moment, I'm not sure.
So I'll just do one attack here.
So it's a big one.
Oh, you know what?
I have not done a knowledge check on her.
So is she knowledge local?
Knowledge local, yeah.
Okay.
Knowledge local.
Oh, there we go.
Get her done.
That's a 34.
34, huh?
Yeah.
I can give you two bits of information beautiful what is there
anything specifically you want to know um no not really just uh anything useful if i've seen a
creature like this in the past all right what do you already know you know that she has ferocity
ferocity yes uh and she's a spell soya betta did as well you now know and you And she's a spellcaster And you know she's a spellcaster
Is she of an orc subtype?
Orc?
No, she's Cyclops
Oh right, and do they usually have ferocity?
I just didn't realize that was like a racial trait
Yeah they do
Cyclops
Okay, she
Obviously you know she casts spells
I will tell you this.
Wow, really digging for something useful, I see.
Yeah, yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Why can't we like see it?
She has this spell.
I'll take two pieces of useless information.
Oh, good.
Will that speed it up?
Yeah.
Her fortitude save is plus 15.
Actually, that's useful.
Yeah, she has very high fortitude
and will, and
that is boosted by
this ability
called Near Death,
where she gets a plus 2 insight bonus
on saves against diseases, mind
affecting effects, and poisons.
It also applies to saves against death effects, if Pembroke were to try to disintegrate her.
Right.
Sleep effects and stunning.
And the second thing I will tell you is that she has this ability known as Soul Siphon,
where she can just suck levels from you.
Oh.
And gain the energy into herself.
So, Dalgryth, you're
in the same situation. Yeah, yeah.
This is even worse.
You're down two levels and she can just
range touch, pull
them out of you. Just pull them out of me.
Oh, man.
Range touch, that's nasty. That is
really nasty. Yeah, who would ever make a character
with range touch as
his main way of attacking?
Bullshit.
Huh.
Okay.
So you're going to go right before she does make it count.
Yeah, going to have to make it count.
Okay, taking a swing here.
This goes back to last week.
I'm still using Kevin and Aaron's green dye.
Still?
Thank you, Aaron.
Hey, there were lots of good rolls on this.
There were.
I know, I know.
I hit with it.
Okay.
I'm going to call it right now.
Yeah.
Critical threat.
Critical threat.
I'm going to call it.
Okay.
Here we go.
Nope, not a critical threat, but it is a hit at 32, baby!
Nice.
I have good news for you.
You need both hands free to climb, but you may cling to a wall with one hand, or in this
case, a giant, while you cast a spell or take some other action that requires only one hand.
To me, that says you can hold on with one hand and do whatever you want.
And keep swinging away.
Yeah.
And stabby stab.
All right, so it's just like stab, stab, stab.
But the first one is a hit.
All right.
The first one is a hit.
That's a lot of damage.
Is 34 points of damage.
34 points of damage.
I'm assuming she's evil.
Yes.
I'm assuming she's pure.
Assumed evil.
Correctly.
Next attack is a miss.
Okay.
And then third attack, this is the decreased bonus, is a miss.
So, oh, just kidding. She's w bonus is a miss.
So, oh, just kidding.
She's wily in this. So I didn't kill her, and now this is terrible.
Yeah, that's bad news.
She is going to roll the cast offensively, makes it, and made it.
So Dolbrey knows what's coming.
He knows what's coming.
And she just stretches her hands out.
And I need Baron and Dalgray.
Pembroke, are you holding anything in your hands?
I am, yes.
And Pembroke to roll will saves.
Oh, boy.
A spell? Oh, boy. It is a spell saves. Oh boy. A spell?
It is a spell.
A fifth level spell.
27 for Pembs.
Okay.
20.
Okay, Baron.
21.
20, 21, and, was it?
Yes.
Was that what it was?
Will save, correct.
Okay.
Let's see.
Make sure this is right.
This is one of those spells with so much text, but I was reading it before I came in over and over again.
You're allowed the will save.
Okay.
So she stretches out her hands.
Baron, you feel your gun being pulled out of your hands towards the ch save. Okay, so she stretches out her hands. Baron, you feel your gun being pulled out of your hands
towards the chasm.
Dalgrith, you feel both of your swords
being pulled out of you towards the back of the room,
presumably into the chasm.
And Pembroke, your wand and whatever else you're holding,
your staff, are also being pulled out of your hands.
But you all withstand.
Oh, wow.
Thank God.
That is telekinesis.
Thank you, Aaron. That is a
natty 16. I'm going to plus 4 to that roll.
You have a terrible
fine of two negative levels.
Oh, right. She was trying to
send all your weapons into the chasm
with telekinesis.
Instead, she failed, and it
is Feyraza's turn.
Feyraza!
Feyraza is going to say,
Are you prepared to die, or shall we spare you?
That's all she says.
I was prepared to perish the minute you walked in.
I said you would leave here as one element
of destruction, and
I meant it. The tomb
will take you if
I do not.
That is none of your concern. Prepare
to meet your lover in hell.
Who's the other one who had a lover?
My lover died years ago.
How dare you bring that up now?
Sorry.
Roll a will save.
What do I do?
Nothing.
I'm holding.
Okay.
That was flavor.
It was flavor.
It was role playing.
It was a role playing game.
Yay.
Baron.
Baron is going to use a move action along with a grit point to quick clear his gun, which he misfire.
And he's going to move like a knight in the game.
I don't know if you've heard of it, Troy.
It's really popular.
It's called chess.
Never heard of it.
You move in kind of a little L-shaped 20-foot range.
Uh-huh.
And his turn.
It's boring.
He's not going to say anything else because you know what?
Faye Raza spoke the truth. She said it all. She said
it all. Exactly. What more needs to
be said? Pembroke, it is your
turn. Go ahead and take it before the lions.
Okay. Alright, I will take it before the lions.
So Pembroke is going to swoop up.
I've never fought with the pride of lions
before. Yes. We'll take pride
in your new accomplishments. Yes.
You are incredible and you are very witty
my friend. Oh, the puns.
My spells are fueled
by puns.
Flying like the blood
of our enemies.
Yes.
It's funny that Pembroke
and Skid share the same
affection for puns.
It's funny, isn't it?
Ironic.
They're both fueled
by puns.
So Pembroke is,
he's going to fly up close
and he has,
oh man, yeah, he is going to fly up close, and he has... Oh, man.
Yeah, he is going...
You know, he's just going to shoot off a magic missile at her.
A little magic missile, huh?
One last magic missile.
Classic.
Oh, bottle cap.
I suppose that auto-hits.
It does.
That is 21 points of
force damage. Okay.
And it's gonna be a long, long
fight. She's still kicking. Okay.
Kim is gonna strike
first.
That is a miss with her bite.
She's gonna do another bite.
Miss. Do a claw.
Fumble. Oh! Don't worry about it. Miss. Do a claw. Fumble.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Oh, dear.
Her claw falls off.
That wasn't confirmed.
And misses.
Okay.
I love it.
And then it is Striker's turn.
Striker!
Striker.
Misses with the bite.
Misses with the second bite.
Misses with the claw.
Hits with the second claw.
Okay.
And that is 12 points of damage with second claw. Okay. And that is
12 points of damage with the claw.
Okay. Yes!
This is some hasted lines.
Aluminium Jerry, it's time to you!
Aluminium Jerry
bites, misses,
bites, misses,
claws, misses,
claws,
hits. Okay.
Uh, that is nine points of damage.
Nine points of damage.
A little bit of a letdown.
Yeah.
That wasn't that great.
Dial great.
Come on, dial great.
You are climbing atop her.
She tried to throw your weapons into the chasm.
What do you got?
That was kind of rude.
She's just eating out.
It's just rude.
No, yeah.
He's just going to get into that position where he's like,
does she have some hair? Does she have, like, long hair? Yeah He's just going to get into that position where he's like, does she have some hair?
Does she have long hair?
Yeah.
She's going to get in that position where he's grabbing onto her hair, and he's going
to just try to stab this thing into the side of her throat.
You can see it peeking out of the back of her very interesting looking headband.
You've got to move her over on our map.
Oh, you can't see it?
No, I'm fine with that.
Oh, okay.
Look at that area of the forehead where Troy accidentally deleted part of it.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That's another nice part. Oh, I did? Wait, did I? Yep. it. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's another nice part.
Wait, did I?
Yeah.
Yep.
Yep.
You can see right through there.
All right.
First attack, 30 to hit.
Nice.
30 hits.
There we go.
That is 37 points of damage.
That first one right down her neck, just like...
And she's dead.
Yeah!
Yes, she is.
And she is dead.
How dead, Troy?
So dead.
Thanks.
So dead.
So dead.
Oh, man.
Shortly thereafter, Kim, Aluminium Jerry, and Striker go back to their plane, having had an amazing success.
Amazing success.
Here in this horrible temple, chapel of Urgothoa.
Dolgrath, as he, like, she, like, she falls, right?
It's almost, like, slow.
It's like...
Hits the ground.
He jumps off at the last second, lands on his feet, backflips.
She's just like gurgling as she bleeds out.
He's looking down at her and he's like, you talked a big game, but you fell like all the rest.
She's like coughing as blood comes out of her neck and she's trying to like say something.
You have to speak up. I have to speak up.
I can't hear you.
Speak, witch.
Pembroke and Ferrazza are level 12.
Oh, yeah!
We'll see you next week.
Mitch, you really did have a flash of insight.
That was so nice. That was so nice.
That was so nice.
I didn't expect her to say something that nice.
We should have let her live.
I'm sorry I trash-talked you.
