This week on the Glass Cannon Podcast. The other one I think wants to do the same thing here. Or do I want to do that? That's just mean, if I do that. With the heroes on the ropes. Yeah, it's going well on my end. I feel confident, but I don't feel cocky. I don't feel like, oh yeah, TPK, I got him. Obviously that's what my goal is.

And some of them still out of the fight. I could see us me getting one shot, but I thought I would get to play a little bit. I thought you would get to do one thing. One thing. Before permanently dying. Will they find a way to turn the tables? Really, I'm offended that you didn't take advantage of that spell, Grant.

Well, I'm offended that you were paralyzed for so long. Me too. Or will the tomb be their final resting place i can get up next to anyone i want and then just get nasty the adventure continues i don't oh my god no now God! No. No. Greetings, Glass Cannon Nation. It's your boy, Grant Berger, a.k.a. Baron Ashpeak. Let me tell you, we all showed up pretty nervous to this recording. I'll let it all play out for you in a few moments, but first let me tell you about something that we're getting pretty pumped for. That's right, coming up on Saturday, the 27th of April,

it's our sold-out Glass Cannon live Brooklyn show at the Bell House. It's crazy to think it'll be the three-year anniversary of our first live show, which we did in front of about 40 people in a game store in Queens that is now under new ownership. We're still under the same ownership, thankfully. And hopefully we'll get to see

some of the OGGCP crew that was at that first live show in Kings County. Where Brooklyn at? In other salutation news, praise log to one and all. Last week, we put up the video for Glass Cannon Live Portland, and you should mosey on over to our YouTube page to see why these shows are phenomenal. We feed off of your energy, and if you can get to a live show, you can be a part of the magic live.

And you know what? Just to avoid serious FOMO, you better be at the next show if you can be a part of the magic live and you know what just to avoid serious FOMO you better be at the next show if you can and as for the next show after Brooklyn Seattle well that's sold out too but we will be in Seattle for all of PaizoCon doing exclusive appearances and ushering in the return of the glorious glass cannon room where fun happens 24 7 get your passes for paizo con and we'll be having fun soon perhaps the late night sing-alongs from 2018 will return me me me me me me we'll see lastly we have even more opportunities to jump into the imagination copter which will have two flights taking off from the hi-fi in indianapolis during gen. That's right, two shows in Indy. We're also, for the first time ever, doing a live show in Georgia

during Dragon Con at the Masquerade in beautiful downtown Atlanta. And to cap the whole first year off, to prove that time is a flat circle. All right, all right, all right. We're coming back to where the tour began this October, the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, California. And you know what? Between you and me, as of the tour began this October, the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, California. And you know what? Between you and me, as of the time of this recording anyway, tickets are still available for all of these shows, but they won't be for long. So hop online and grab yours today.

Oh, boy, guys. This excitement has turned into nerves for this episode. Oh, God. I guess it's time for the show. You know what? Do me a favor. Pray to Toregg for us. Light a uh i guess it's time for the show you know what do me a favor pray to torag for us light a candle in desna's name and enjoy episode 203 this is either going to be a very long episode or a very short episode. I vote B. It could be quite short.

Not that I want it to be short, but I think it will be short. Yes. Now that you've had a few rounds of combat, you went in, obviously, with your thoughts on how this would be. How has the reality differed from your sort of belief of what it was going to be like before you walked in the room? I did expect to get to play at least like a round. Yeah, one round. It would have been nice to play one round with your character.

I mean, I could see us me getting one shot, but I thought I would get to play like, you know, a little bit. I thought you would get to do one thing. One thing. Before permanently dying. Before permanently dying yeah before permanently dying without ever moving i i think we might all be a little bit surprised that there's no one dealing cold damage in here which we prepared for specifically instead we get a little fire i had a backup plan that i would love to put into effect and what is the backup plan i can't tell

you i'm paralyzed i can't speak oh backup plan for later i And what is the backup plan? I can't tell you. I'm paralyzed. I can't speak. Oh, backup plan for later. I thought you had a backup plan you didn't enact before we walked into this place. I left open the possibility that we could be surprised. Do you have a backup plan for this surely dead character? Yeah, I brought some snacks.

Oh, good. So you cracked open a beer? It's funny, Matthew. He told me to get, give me some Sour Patch Kids and this particular kind of chip. I said Popcorners. Popcorners. We're big fans of Popcorners. Yeah, I went, I got the wrong kind of chip.

You got Popcorn. Popcorn chips. No, dude, he just got Popcorn. And then he's like, well, at least I got my Sour Patch. He's like, no, this is gum. No, I'm a fin idiot. No, I appreciate you going down. I laughed so hard when you did Matthew Till.

It's like a bad game of telephone. I don't know. I don't consume either of these products. I'm also a bad shopper. I have the lowest perception. It takes me so long to find anything in a grocery store. I ran into Troy in the elevator. He's like, where are you going?

I was like, I'm going to go. I have to undo skids of the state. As for popcorners and Sour Patch Kids, he brought back popcorn and Sour Patch Gum. I'm so bad at shopping. It was very funny. It was very funny. Oh, man. I appreciate you making the run for me.

You're welcome. But as you were getting ready today, Matthew was like, so, Joe, what's our plan for the episode? And he wasn't talking about tactically. He was talking about, like, what we eat and drink while we watch you guys play. Yeah. Well, you did take out one of those floating corpses. It was good.

You know, I said to Skid after the episode, that chain lightning was huge. Yeah. That gives you a dog in the fight here um and unfortunately we're already down two dogs already down possibly two dogs forever yeah um yeah it's uh it's going it's going well on my end i uh i feel confident but i don't feel cocky i don't feel like oh yeah tpk i got him uh obviously that's that's what my goal is um but like uh i did miss that attack on dalgrit that second attack and i think that that gave you a huge opportunity but it also might be worse because now if you end up there by the time it comes back around to her turn again you know that could be that could be game over right there right yeah it could be.

I don't – it depends on how the – it just depends on what she does. We have to see what she does. You could roll a natural one. You could roll a crit. I'm not as worried about that. I'm not as worried about that. But if you get two hits, I do think that – it's probably not looking at permadeath. I do think it will go unconscious, but the question is, does she coup de grace?

That's what I don't know. You mean coup de grace? Yeah. Coup de grace him? I don't know. She did make it clear to you that her advisors had said that you would make a suitable war machine to lead her army. But she said she didn't care about that anymore.

Yeah. Now she doesn't care about that. She said, your bodies will be defiled when I'm done with you. Oh, she's so angry. And your souls will never find peace for what you have done. That's the thing that bothered me. Yeah, that's rude. I was fine with the defiling of corpses.

I'm always like, well, at least I have death to look forward to, but no. No, she's going to take that away as well. She's going to take that from me. The gift of man is to become doula hands well yeah right yeah i mean you know it's it's funny you say that matthew because now we can lift the uh the veil a little bit here the doula hand uh was one of her court that stepped a little too much to her and And so he became this endless creature roaming the halls, fighting for her, not knowing what its name was,

and so tied to her. The devourer that you fought just outside her doors was one of her consorts. And he no longer pleased her? And he no longer pleased her. Well, no, it was part of her apotheosis was sacrificing him wow what about the guy she's like where are my children where is my brother or whatever i can't remember what he said yeah yeah um what about the guy uh the the um dwarf

killer guy a car grim yeah like he said he seemed to think it was like a gift a car grim was the dwarf the other one a car Kargrim's enemy. Yeah. He was a false hero because he came back to Skirkotla and was like, killed him. I killed that dwarf. Look at his head. But they did it dishonorably. He brought his whole.

So then Skirkotla punished him by making him undead? No, in her look, in her view, that's the greatest honor. Right, so she honored him. Yes. Ah, okay. That's what I thought initially. Yeah, she honored him, the Dullahan, the Devourer, and perhaps other creatures here, dishonored.

And now she's saying she might do something similar with you. So if you go down, Feywaz, if you go down, Dalgrith, your dead PC is just the beginning. What happens to you after that? The corpse has three attacks left on Feyraza. I didn't remember that. That was just the first attack. I made a big note here.

I wrote in my journal. I wrote it down in my diary. I laughed at it. Let it at night. I laughed at it. Let it at night. A special bow, but it's still a longbow that crits 19 to 20, a times three crit. Just throwing that out there. Crits 19 to 20? Crits 19 to 20, yeah.

And it's a times three crit. It has point black shot on, rapid shot. Let's go ahead and just resolve the rest of these three attacks. You are paralyzed. It was one D3 rounds, and I rolled a five on a D of three attacks you are paralyzed it was 1d3 rounds and i rolled a 5 on a d6 so you are paralyzed for three rounds i have a feeling you won't last that long because of the will-o-wisps that is the thing that put it over the line for me when the will-o-wisp saw came out i was like okay we're done yeah that's fine we're done the will-o-wisp are just they're annoying they're immune to magic they're immune

to physical weapons they're immune to harm weapons. They're immune to harm. You know what I mean? Like, it's just preposterous. Immortal, annoying beings. Yeah. Where you got all the time in the world to buff up, all those times coming in and out of the tomb finally had a price because she was ready for you. Her minions were ready for you.

Yeah, it was a matter of, I mean, yeah, they've switched everything on us. the you know the fire damage and everything it's it's uh it really sucks it really really sucks but you know it's that's how it happens it's the old switcheroo yeah we were bested let me go ahead and just roll out some some uh attacks we'll start with the attacks matthew you're paralyzed so i'm assuming your ac is still pretty low yeah i. I mean, you could roll a natural one. Bring Neon Green back. That's your... We haven't had a fumble yet in this combat, have we? No. Do we have a fumble last week? We haven't had a crit or a fumble. Oh. Let's get a fumble

that, you know, makes you, like, not able to attack for several rounds. Was it a fumble? I don't think it was. I'm guessing. I'm guessing from Troy's expression it was. Somewhere in, like, a 37 to hit. Roll your damage. This is some badass, elongated corpses. Nine points... Excuse me. I your damage. These are some badass, elongated corpses. Nine points.

Excuse me. I keep forgetting. There's other things going on here. 11 points of regular damage. One point of damage. And shut up. Let me have my fun where I can. Five points of negative energy damage.

That just cuts right through. These characters are just fun. They're just fun. You're already paralyzed. Third attack. Oh, god, yeah. In the 30s again. I should tell you, I'm rolling absolute monster rolls, too.

Yeah, that makes it so much better. Ten points of damage. Zero points of damage. Zero points of damage. Okay. And three points of negative energy damage. Not too bad. Not too bad.

Could be worse. I'm still in a very, very dangerous spot when these little lisps start going. Okay. All right. And final attack for this creature oh god i mean almost a crit uh because of the 19 and 20 but definitely a hit uh max damage uh 11 points of damage regular and then five points of negative negative energy damage when you when you're paralyzed it's uh very easy to hit and you don't even Have to roll well right but he's still Doing it he's just like it's like he's mocking you

Yeah just throwing it in your face he's spitting In my face exactly what I'm just Trying to eat some popcorners Hey where's That popcorn Sour patch gum Oh my God it actually is sour patch

Gum you were lying I didn't think it was Sour Patch Gum. Don't you think we're lying? I didn't think it was Sour Patch Gum. I just thought it was gum. They're kids. It says Sour Patch Kids on it. It does say Sour Patch Kids on it. I don't know what it looks like. All right.

The first green woman will shoot a ray at Baron. Oh, no. Let's start with that. That is going to be a 17 against touch. That is a miss. Really? Wow. Okay.

Amazing. That's huge. Wow. I mean, that is huge. Huge. Yeah. That's, wow. Okay.

That really separates the men from the boys here. That's why you have a high dexterity. Yes. Okay, the other one... The other one, I think, wants to do the same thing here. Or do I want to do that? That's just mean, if I do that. No, you're more of a dex-based character.

The other one is going to try to do the same thing. This bolt of green energy just... Ah, this flaming green energy comes at you. Oh, yeah. 29 against touch. Yeah, that'll do. Against toot. That'll do, pig.

All right. I'm going to need you to roll... While I get all this damage together, there's not much of it. Can you roll a will save for me? Certainly. Natural 20. Nice. 33. Nice. All 20. Nice. 33.

Nice. Grant. The rich get richer. Beautiful man. Grant, you are a lucky son of a gun here. You really are. New dice. New dice. 22 points of magical fire damage. Okay, that cuts through. Yep.

Does that all cut through or you still block somebody? No, not all of it. All energy damage gets through. Yep. Does that all cut through, or your stone skin still blocks him? No, not all of it. All energy damage gets through. All right, that or those. Those or those. Okay, the will-o'-wisps that were attacking Baron realize that that's futile. One of them stays there.

The other one... Actually, no. They both move up. Two will attack Pembroke Two will attack Feyraza Oh my god, this is awful Let's start with Pembroke, because you've got four images

Along with yourself now Because they broke one of them First, shock, 30 against Dutch Yeah, that's a hit Alright, so now there are five of you No, now There's four images in one of you. No, there are three images.

Three images in one of you. So that would be a D4. Right. A four hits you. Okay. It's a three. All right. Two images left.

Tick tock. There go the images. Here comes the next attack. 21 against touch. All right, so now it is a D3. A five and six hit you. Okay. 5. Okay. That's actually preferable. This one, yeah, you want to

keep those images up for as long as possible. Yeah, I guess a real big damage. Alright, so in terms of damage, 15 points of electricity damage. Oh, man. 2D8, 8 and a seven. Just... Jeez. And then the other two are going after Ferrazza. Still waiting on that magical crit.

I bet you are. Could this be it? Actually, no. You've done all this rolling? This is more like... Neon green. Even last week, it was every single roll. All neon green. 18 against touch.

Why are you asking? It's a six. It's a six. Anything over a six. Anything over a six. Again, I rolled an eight and seven for damage. Oh, my God. 15 points for electricity.

Oh, this is so ridiculous. Second one, natural one. Oh. Now, this is a melee attack, so it's not technically magic. I said magic before I rolled, but it's a melee shock attack against touch. Okay. So it's a... We have to roll to confirm.

Oh, yeah, to confirm. You need another natty one. Oh, no, there was two of them. One attacked, and the other one attacked. Only gets one attack. Oh! It's a definite fumble. Oh, and it's not magic.

It's going to be melee? No, it's just a natural attack, you would call it. A natural attack. All right, let's get it up. Well, we don't have that separate. Okay, let's see. Let's roll this thing. 19s and 20s were coming up before we started.

There's that one. We have used so many. All right, this one from David in Ottawa, Canada. This is going to suck. I can already tell. Here, this is yours now. Yeah. This is going to suck.

I can already tell. Here, this is yours now. Yeah. If your target has a free hand, it gets a hold of your weapon. Either drop your weapon or become grappled. If a natural attack, become grappled. Reflex negates. That doesn't make any sense. I'm paralyzed.

Right. You know, the best thing about it, you don't get hit. Right. So you got away with one there. What are you sitting on for HP? Do you want to share with the group? Not enough. Okay.

Okay, good. Guys, we're going to a new round. Could are you sitting on for HP? Do you want to share with the group? Not enough. Okay. Okay, good. Guys, we're going to a new round. Could be the last round for some people. Grant, you had a smile on your face since you sat down. We haven't heard much from you. It's not a smile on my face. It is bemused hopefulness. Okay, I'll take that.

How about that? You are up, my good friend. Baron's got to dig deeper than he ever has before to get out of this. He sees his buddy, Dauberth. Wah, wah, wah. Taking hits. It's just like blood coming off of him. Even though he's a vexing dodger, there's two of them on the field, and still he's getting nailed.

So Baron is going to do a real heavy turn to hopefully turn the tide of the battle. First off, he's going to take a five-foot step immediately behind the Will-O-Wisp. Yep. He is going to swift action call down to Torek. Torek, grant me your shield against Thremir so that we may strike his advocate down from this world. Raises his

AC by dose. What did you do, though? What is that called? That is called judgment. Judgment. Yes, it is a protection. A protection. Plusgment. Yes, it is a... Protection. Protection. Plus two. Then he is going to...

I'm going to... Is that the only judgment you want to do? Yeah, I'm just going to do the one. I'm not going to do... I don't like doing too swift actions necessarily with a judgment anyway. It feels too... I'll do it next round. Okay.

Sorry, Joe. It might not be a next round, buddy. 40 feet away, even at 40 feet high, I should be within 50 feet worth of range with Pythagoras theory. Baron is going to spend two grip points. The chemical cartridge that Pembroke handed him, he is going to keep in one chamber and load it. He is going to, first off, get up close and deadly.

So there's going to be two D6 added onto this. Secondly, he is going to enact a full round attack action of targeting. He is going to target the axe that has been waylaid and striking out against Dalgrith. Very interesting. And you have bottle caps I'll use a bottle cap Alright so explain to me exactly what you're going to do You're going to

Target the axe in Skirkotla's hand To try and knock it out? Yes Okay I used my bottle cap, turned it in One left after this, which is good my total to hit is a 21 against touch ac 21 against touch that's with plus six yep i rolled a six on the oh i'm sorry 12 25 i'm an idiot i'm not used to the new bottle caps.

But it's still against touch. Yes. To try and knock the weapon out of her hand. Correct? Correct. Okay. Twenty percent mischance. Yes.

Twenty percent mischance. Before you give your big reveal. Thank you. Thank you, Joseph. Let's see. Let's see. Let thank you Joseph let's see let's see my heart's beating a mile a minute 53 yes okay

it knocks it out of her hand yes it knocks it out of her hand yes you take no damage. Okay. Wait, even with the up close and deadly? Up close and deadly, it will take damage.

Okay. So you can... Well, would it override on hit the target? It says you take no damage. I'm pretty sure if you were targeting, you'd do one thing instead of the other. I could be wrong. But then you wouldn't use up close and deadly. Yeah.

When a pistol arrow hits a target with a one-handed firearm that is not making a scatter shot, she can spend one hit point to deal 1d6 of extra damage. So if it's no damage... Yeah. I can still spend two grit points if you want me to. It's up to you. No, no. Keep your grit. Okay, so I'll spend one. You wouldn't have been able to go up close and deadly. Got it.

Perfect. And up close and deadly does not give you a bonus to hit at all. No. Right. So yeah, there's no point in using it. Okay, great. Okay. And that does not give you a bonus to hit at all. No. Right. There's no point in using it. Okay, great. Okay. And then he reloads the other chamber, but in the second chamber of his double-barreled pistol is the greater named

bullet for my main girl. Skrgala! Skrgala! Okay. Oh, man. Okay. And I man. Okay. And I also, I have to make, if he hits, I have to make a caster level check to overcome her spell resistance. Right, right. Or else it doesn't have, the spell has no effect.

I spent some time reading about it. It's terrifying. It's terrifying. It's terrifying. It goes to Feyraz's turn. I'm going to knock my... I'm using a d4 to count my rounds of paralysis. That's smart.

Down to two more rounds. It is now Skirkout's turn. Her axe is down on the ground. Baron shot it out of her hand. Baron shot it out of her hand. If you hit with that greater name bullet, I know what it does. That's brutal. But she doesn't know about greater name bullets.

Nope. She's pretty busy with us. She's pretty busy. A giant slayer. I'm wondering if that action may have killed Dalgrith by what I might do instead of picking up that axe and swinging it. It was a small feeling I had that he might say something exactly with those words. That was a well-intentioned whatever this bastard does, Joe. I was trying to save you.

Oh, of course. What does she do in the moment? Five, four, three, two, one. What does she do, LaValley? She picks up the axe. All right. Attack of opportunity. She is going to just unleash a blast of fire from her body.

Oh, man. A devastating blast, as it were. Just like... And a 30-foot cone goes entirely on Dalgrith. However, you do get what I'm assuming is your best save. A reflex save for half. And will it affect her allies? We'll get to that later, obviously. It's a cone directed directly at Dalgrith. I remember last week you were curious about

And is it a spell or spell-like ability? Or is it supernatural? It is supernatural, good buddy. Soup, soup, supernatural. Okay. I'm sure you have a great reflex save. Just don't roll a natural one, Joe. And I'm sure you have a great Reflex save Just don't roll a natural one Joe

And I'm sure you'll just get Half damage From this Absolutely brutal Devastating blast My god I am seriously Sick to my stomach

It's so tough When you're like You just really want to be Successful to roll You're gonna do it buddy I believe in you I'm sending you good vibes That'd be game over Come on Dalgrith What do you get for. I believe in you. Might be game over. I'm sending you good vibes.

Might be game over right now. Come on, Dalgrace. What do you get for bonus? You want to tell us? I can just see him swinging out of the way. Plus 15 bonus. Pretty good. Okay. I can see him swinging out of the way of this.

Only you could fail this. Come on. Come on. Natural two. Oh, my God. Natural two. And if I roll anything else I take no damage Oh because of the Asian

Oh my god Here you go wrapped up this is two episodes Wrapped up in a nice little package The death of Dalgrave courtesy of fucking Joe O'Brien And I used my best die Give my best die Joe hit the table and dice went everywhere.

Grant helped as well. I'll roll the damage because that's what we have to do in this game. I don't... Oh my God. Oh no. So it's 8d6 worth of fire damage.

I rolled 8d6. Was it last week? Was it 8d6 or 66? Yes, and you rolled four ones against Grant. Four ones on Grant. I'm not even kidding. One week? Was it 86 or 66? Yes, and you rolled four ones against Grant. I'm not even kidding. One, two, three, five sixes.

30, five, six, seven, eight, 41 points of fire damage. Holy shit. Five sixes. I suck so much. I am so terrible. I'm so terrible.

You got two beautiful babies. You got a lovely wife. You get to do this full time. Sure. You're not good at keeping characters alive. Three have died in this book. I'm counting, Dalgry. This would make three in this book alone. Mork died twice.

How is he doing? Feyraza killed him. I mean, she is. Not in this book. She is good. You are, you're good. Did, uh, did she take you under? He's got nothing. His flesh, no. Uh, no, she didn't. Oh, that's

great. No, that's the worst possible thing that could happen. Oh, yeah. Uh, it's okay. It's alright. I'll just, I'll go down low zero. I can't even tell you how many bad things are happening. Like, everything, everything is awful. Every single thing. I've made every wrong choice I could have.

Well, getting up and sneak attacking or everything. I have the wrong weapon. If I had the other weapon, totally different. I mean, oh God. I'll tell you later. I'll tell you later. But it's just, you know, every single decision incorrect. Move action, she picks up her blade

Do you get an AOL for that? I would think so I'm threatening her It's like drawing a weapon That provokes Yeah Picking up an object Provokes

So So Do you want to take it? Yeah So I mean His flesh is like Melting off of his body He's like

Oh god My heart's beating A mile a minute He's dialing in Focusing in I wonder what his clothes Are doing Yeah We never talk about that His magical clothes He's like, oh, God. My heart's beating a mile a minute. He's dialing in, focusing in. I wonder what his clothes are doing. Yeah, we never talk about that. His magical clothes are perfectly fine.

He'll stab down at her as she leaves herself open for just a moment. Oh, my God. Oh, boy. There goes his favorite die. It's now chipped. It is now Pembroke's turn, followed by the Deathbringer. Okay. Or the Deathbrot.

Big round for Pems here. Bring, bring, brung. Bring, bring, brung. All right. So first I want to do an Arcana check or a Spellcraft check to see, because she mentioned me not being able to teleport away. I want to see what. And I do have the exact DC of this check.

Knowledge Arcana. All right, Knowledge Arcana. 34. 34. There is a presence in this room of a teleport trap. Okay. So if you attempt to teleport and fail the save needed to overcome the trap it could be very very bad okay does that apply to getaway or dimension door uh oh well that i don't

know so that was wondering is there anything in those spell descriptions where it acts like teleport getaway does. Getaway. So that would affect Getaway. But Dimension Door is a different spell. Dimension Door is a different beast. Yeah. We can cross that bridge when we come to it.

Okay. Yeah, the thing you don't know is where that trap would be. Okay. But you can assume it's not. Safely in your bed, Beck. They are going to hear it. All right, now I want to do knowledge checks. Yes. To determine which of any of these creatures would be affected by fire.

Ah, okay. If any of them have resistance to fire. All right, so go ahead and roll first a knowledge religion on that one remaining corpse. That is a 26. 26. Yeah, you have no reason to believe that is not affected by fire. Okay.

Now a knowledge religion on the green floating women. Ooh, that is a 30. A 30, eh? I can tell you That it would affect it However, it would probably only be Half damage, because they are incorporeal Right

Oh, Ghostman And Skirkotla Skirkotla Now it's local, natural 20 Natural 20 on the local. What's that total? What is my... That is... That is 30.

30. So, even though that was a natural 20, where it's a skill check that is not an automatic pass, and her CR is high enough that you don't know. Oh, man. Okay. Well, I'm going to try it. So, as a swift action with the metamagic rod, I am going to shoot a fireball.

Swift action fireball. That's baller. Yeah. And then. Quick metamagic rod is an amazing thing. Yeah. Pretty good. Now, if Dalgrit fails his reflex save again.

Well, so I should be able to just hit like. The edge of her. The edge of her and not not hit him because she's a very large creature she's taking up two by two jogger is on the top edge of it so he should be able to singe her like lower half or something yeah uh yeah i'm looking at the screen here skid i can see obviously if you fit what is the the radius of it 20 20 feet. 20 feet. So right where your dot is there. Yeah. 10, 15, 20.

That looks like it gets, let's see, 5, 10, 15, 20. I think it's everyone. Couldn't be better positioned. It's perfectly positioned the way you have it. I just threw an aura

on a will-o-wisp and put it there for the hell of it and it is right at the edge of both Dalgrith and his, what do you call it? His mirror image or his specter.

His thing that you pretend doesn't exist. Right, right, right. You know, it's funny. I felt bad about that for a second after last week's episode and then we were sitting here cleaning up and I looked at one of her powers and I'm like, oh no, she knew exactly where you were. Oh, really? Mm-hmm.

I was playing by the rules. Okay. Well, unknowingly. Unknowingly, yes. Unwittingly. You'll have to lift the curtain on that. I don't know what that is. Remind me to tell you, yes. Alright, what do you want to do? A little fireball? True scene. Yep. And that is...

What's the little fireball? That is a DC 20 reflex safer half on 47 points of damage. Oh, this is huge. She passed, Natty 18. The one remaining corpse. Let me just get all these D8s out here. The one remaining corpse is a DC 20.

Yes. Passed the first green creature. These guys got pretty good reflexes. Failed. Good. And then the second one. Same exact roll. Both of the green floating women failed.

Because they were going to take half already. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and they were there. Exactly. Okay. So I think they all take 23 points of damage. Not sure about Skirkala. Okay.

Okay. Does Fireball have a spell resistance? Yes, it does. Okay, roll spell resist. That is a 25. You're all right. Okay. Pass through.

And she just like turns and looks at you, Pembroke. Right in your eyes! Sweet. Farazza, do you think Farazza would like to get out of here? I very much think she would. Okay. So Pembroke is going to touch Farazza on her paralyzed arm and use dimension steps to take them both into basically into the middle of the room. Wow.

Okay. Let me see if this is something you would do now knowing that you're under a trap because I'm getting mixed signals here on the board signals If it's specifically a teleportation trap then yeah, I don't know. I mean, Pembroke would know. Right. So Dimension Door is under the Conjuration Teleportation School. Right.

So it would be covered by teleportation. Oh, okay. So you wouldn't do that, yeah. I mean, would he know from his knowledge check what the consequences are? Yes. And I explained those to him. He could get trapped in some horrible, horrible place.

Anything worse than here? Worse than death? A fate worse than death. Because if he can save us from 12 seconds, one of us can get away. True. Or you might wake up in a pit of love. Right, that would be bad. Okay. Are these...

How many of these will-o'-wisps are summoned creatures? The four blue lights that are surrounding you, Feyraza, and behind Baron there, those are all summoned. They're all summoned. And you know that because you've seen them attack Baron.

You can infer with your vast arcane knowledge that they're all summoned. Farazza, do you have protection from evil on you? I do not. Okay, then I am, with my standard action, I'm going to cast Protection from Evil Communal on myself and Faraz. That's great. Huge. That's huge. That's great.

Absolutely huge. She's got to take out, well. Absolutely. She's got to take out the Bowman, the two ethereal ring people, and Skirkala. Yeah. But then we're good. Then we're good. Then we're fine.

Then we're fine. It is. Great turn, Femmes. Great turn. People are cheering for you at home or in their car. Thank you. That also bumps up my touch AC to seven. Oh!

Invincible! Nothing's going to stop me now. Do I have to cast offensively with the Will-O-Wisps there? Yeah, technically you do. All right. That is... I'm sure you have combat casting. I do, yeah.

15 plus double the spell level. Okay, yeah, I made it. Okay. It is Dalgrif Deathbringer's turn. Joe? Dalgrif Deathbringer! Had a couple great eps. No.

What do you want to do? Nothing but terrible eps. No. What do you want to do? Nothing but terrible eps. What do you want to do? You've been an unstoppable steamroller of a player these last couple of episodes. Unstoppable embarrassment of a dwarf. I feel pathetic, and I would like to apologize to my family and friends. Yep. I'm going to send them all this episode.

Please don't. All right. I am going to get out of there. I'm going to send them all this episode. Please don't. All right. I am going to get out of there. I'm going to flee. I got to create some space. It's the only option. Full withdraw or take the AOL? I am going to roll an acrobatics check to avoid the AOL. Okay. That is just straight up against my... CMDizzle. CMD.

Straight up against your CMD. Can't wait to I don't know why. To roll another natural turn. I don't know why you're choosing this. I'm so worried. Why do you choose this or for yourself? You can just flee. You can just flee and save yourself a couple.

No, she's got reach. I can't just flee. If I do a full withdrawal. Oh, even without the axe. Yeah. She picked it up already. Okay. Exactly.

I'm sorry you had to have a die roll on this turn. Yep. So another die roll. Sorry for your family. Oh, no. Don't look at it. That's a grand roll. Out of the tray uh there we go um that is a uh sorry 43 oh wow you get out of there without the

a so he gets out i'm going to does your vision still stay there your your second buddy there uh yeah dog with two dog with two yes uh okay that's Okay. Okay. That's it. Yes. He is going. No, he is going to move 30 feet away. That's his full move after enacting his expeditious armor ability and getting a burst of speed. Sweet. Increasing his base speed by 10 feet.

He moves 30 feet in a double move. Okay. 30 feet in a double move. And that's straight in the air. Like straight out in the air. Hovering in the middle of the room. Are you the only one that's taking advantage of air walk right now? I believe so. I would have loved to.

Yeah. Here's a question I've been thinking about doing. Can you five foot step into the air? Yes. You cannot move more than 45 degrees up or down okay but it's considered walking yeah it's considered yeah so you do if you're moving up you do move at half speed i believe so maybe you can't take i don't think you're gonna take a five foot step you have you stay on the same level yeah but i'm not up at all so

really i'm offended that you didn't take advantage of that spell grant well i'm offended that you didn't take advantage of that spell Grant well I'm offended That you were paralyzed for so long Me too Alright it is the Corpses turn here Uh I got a straight shot On everybody really

Um But he's 20 feet high The corpse yeah uh, give or take. He's got 110 feet of range on his bow. Yep. So he is going to try and fire at Pembroke. He's going to start with a hover check there. He sure is.

Just barely made it with my plus 28 to fly. Perfect. We're going to do four attacks at the many Pembrokes standing over there. Oh, he's being systematic about this. He's going to whittle them out. Holy shit. There's only two of us. There's only two of us.

I mean, there's three total, but there's two images. Just the three of us. First attack. That is going to be a 23 It's a hit I think if it's not a natural one You can just move on Just making sure

Two things and a PEMS Alright so 5-6 Is PEMS? I thought we did the 5-6 last time And it hit PEMS Okay so this one 5 hits peps i mean now this is only bad if you fail this fortitude save oh which i will same fortitude save that fay ross they're evil though right they're evil uh let can't i can't oh oh uh yeah 13

oh no oh no you're paralyzed for two rounds i mean it is up to the man who has been here since episode one to leave who has a greater named bullet from pembroke in the chamber yes and baron is frustrated baron sees this i hate to be a dick but you have three more attacks oh i i wasn't forgetting i was just did you think oh i thought you were shooting me no i've still got like five creatures that are going to go before you. Let's roll damage here. Ten points of regular damage. Zero points of damage.

And five points of negative energy damage. Okay. Second attack. Again, now this might be just chipping away at the mirror images. Second attack is a fumble, but with four attacks the second one, a 25 would have hit, right? So not a fumble, but with four attacks, the second one, a 25 would have hit, right?

So not a fumble, but hey, not a hit. Which is good. Keep those mirror images attacking us. Two more attacks. Third one still have not rolled that natural 20. A 23 to hit. Let's see if it takes out an image. It does take out an image. There is one image left and one Pembroke and one more

attack. Oh, it was like... Almost a crit. Definitely a hit. Let's see. Let me get the old D4. 3-4 hits Pems. 4. So this hits Pems for minimum damage.

5 points of regular damage, which you eat, and then 6 points of negative energy damage. Max neg inch. It is the greenies' turn. You're okay, though, right, Pems? You got the stone skin. Yeah, but being paralyzed for two turns.

Yeah, I'm not. It's not great. The short answer is no, he's not okay. This is very tough. Thank God you all have Resist Cold. Well, no, it's also really great that he casts Protect from Evil. It's huge. Oh yeah, because these things would just...

Alright, we're going to go to the green women here. The first one is going to go after Baron again. I have not been lucky here. Is this a supernatural ability? No, this is just a ranged attack. Huh. Yes, it has properties that when it hits that get magical,

but we're just talking about the ranged attack. All right, bro. Come on, Zoe Saldana. Oh, man, do I want to? No, no, I'm going to give Oh, man. Do I want to? No. No, I'm going to give one at you. Here comes one at you. 26 against touch.

Yes. Okay. Now, roll A. You've made this save every single time. I need you to fail this will save. Please. Fail it. Fail it.

15 on the die. 28. Nice. Fans are rooting for you, man. You are the best. They are rooting for you. You it. 15 on the die. Oh, nice. Fans are rooting for you. You are the best. They are. You are the best on earth. However,

you still take 86 fire damage. Oh, that's bad. 10, 15, 16, 17, 18,

19, 20, 21, 25 points of fire damage. She's in toasty. Um, that's a lot. Yeah, that's a good roll. The other one, fire damage. Feeling toasty. That's a lot. Yeah, that's a good roll.

The other one, oh man, so many different people to fire at. The other one wants to do the same sort of thing. Let me just look at its little powers and stuff. You know what? This one, I think, wants to get up in somebody's business. What kind of fly speed are we talking here? Oh, that's pretty good. I can get up next to anyone I want.

And then just get nasty. Do I want to go after Feyraza? Paralyzed. Do I want to go after Pembroke? Paralyzed. Want to get right up in Baron's business? Yeah. This one's going to come right up in front of Baron's face. And do an incorporeal touch on you.

See Neon Green come skittering out there? Natural five. Total? 18 against touch? Yes. Oh, yes. Baron's too wily, man. You can't touch me, brother.

The lone gunman. The lone gunman here is just dancing. All right, so correct me if I'm wrong. Baron, Pembroke, and Feyrozza cannot be touched by the Will-O-Wisps, right? No. Right. We all have protection from evil, though. Okay. Do they know that, though?

No. They attacked Baron, and they realized that in the next round they did. So they spend this round attacking you guys again, and hopefully by now they would realize, with their pretty decent intelligence, that you guys cannot take damage, which makes Dalgrith a target for perhaps next round. But in the meantime, we go to the next round. Top of the round. Baron. This thing really messed up

Your plans here a little bit it's standing directly In front of you it's not even that that I'm Worried about at this point it's actually the undead Skeleton or whatever it is that's flying With a bow and paralyzing the Only other people that are active in this combat Until Dalgrith comes back and recuperates A bit so Baron is

Pissed he grits his teeth he curses Kirk Hot's name for having this kind of almost perfect kind of defense setup. And so Baron is going to take a five-foot step still directly next to the green creature. He's going to call down a Judgment of Sacred Justice. What does that do? Judgment of Sacred Justice adds two to your attack rolls. Nice. Okay, when you do that, Skirkotla's armor, immediate action, has a warding effect

that cancels all of your judgments. Oh. Oh, wow. There's a range on that? It's once per day is immediate action. The wearer of warding armor can activate it to end all active challenge, judgment, and smite abilities affecting her.

Wow. Oh, but it's still active against other people. Sure, but your judgments are no more. No. He has the judgments, they just don't affect her. They don't affect her, yeah, yeah. She's immune to it. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. So, yeah, right now that is immaterial because Baron is going to take out

the skeleton with a full round attack action, or at least try to. Go down, guns blazing. You will? After? That You will after Let me roll provoke Where is the alchemical cartridge with her name on it I have two barrels Oh you're still not using it I'm still not using it because I'm going to take out that skeleton first Okay

It's going to take more than one round to take out Skirkala in my estimation And it's more important tactically for us to have that skeleton gone But you can do a full round without firing that bullet, is my concern. Yeah, because it's a free action reload. Yeah, yeah. You didn't load that in the chamber? I had two barrels in my gun. Okay. I am going to free action reload that one chamber. You keep that one?

Okay, that's fine. Here comes the provoke attack. Is this the 20? Miss. 16. Yes. Alright, here we go. Huge. Come on. First attack against a skeleton. It would be great here. Okay. That's a...

Sorry. That is a 25 against Touch AC. That is a hit. Okay. All right. Come on. Undead Bane still active. We need it, Baron.

Okay. 16. That is going to be 24 points of damage. Okay. Still alive. Second attack. Okay. As you go to attack, it provokes. Okay, still alive. Second attack. Okay, as you go to attack, it provokes again. This thing has combat reflexes.

Oh, shoot. He can't take a five-foot step? He did. He did already. Oh. This thing has combat reflexes. I didn't want to get further away from Scarecrow to get out of my range, so I kind of thought I would tag it. Oh, man.

It went from the 20 to the 2. You're all right. Yes, you're all right. All right. Oh, man. It went from the 20 to the 2. You're all right. Yes. You're all right. Okay. That is not as good. That is going to be 19 against touch AC. 19 against touch.

Do I get the bonus to my AC? Is that with the plus 2? That is a hit. Yes. All right. Awesome. All right. Come on.

Come on. Take them down. 24 points of damage. Yes. Alright. Beautiful! Alright. Come on. Come on! Take them down! 24 points of damage. Okay. Straighten them down! He's still alive! 16 plus 14 is 30. I'm sorry. I misread. 16 plus 14

is 30. Yes. Still alive. Still alive. What do you want to do? Oh boy. It's funny to see this combat like all of the things that each of you have been doing throughout time they're not working. It's like

a classic boss battle. I haven't done anything at all. To be fair, I haven't rolled over 11. But in the past, Ray Raza, all you did was things. That's right. She's trying the opposite. I mean,

I got to reward her for some original thinking. Does Baron... In the past, I've done something. Are you unparalyzed by your next turn? I thought you were only paralyzed

for one turn. No, no. Paralyzed again. Oh, Jesus Christ. All right, I'm going to have to take this thing out. Let me just roll a little attack of opportunity.

It has multiple attacks of opportunity. It has... Oh, yeah.. All right, I'm going to have to take this thing out. Let me just roll a little attack of opportunity. It has multiple attacks of opportunity. Oh, yeah. I think that one might have got you. What is it? That is going to be 27 against touch. Yeah, that's it. Roll a will save. 11 on the die.

That is a total of a... That's not a spell or spell like ability, right? It is a spell-like ability. 26. Ooh. What was it if it wasn't? 24. Okay, it's still fast.

But you do take 8... Thrilling. 8d6 worth of fire damage. This thing is insane. Oh, man. Come on with this. Oh, my God.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. What? 8d6 worth of fire damage? Yeah. On the incorporeal touch? Yeah. The range bolt and the touch both do 8d6 worth of damage.

That's just ridiculous. This is a TBK. This is a TBK. It's absurd. It's so funny. You've mopped the floor with every encounter in this dungeon. Yeah, 8d6 on any ranged remnant. We almost have died in several encounters.

I've died twice. I have no memory. Yeah, right. You lost two characters already. I've died twice. I've never done that. Yeah, right. Yeah, you lost two characters already. About the floor. 25 points of magical fire damage. Not looking good for Baron. Oh, no!

Okay, so let's take this attack. Hopefully this undead paralyzed machine is going down. 17 on the die. That's going to be a 26 against 28. You got him. What's the damage, bro? Let's see what we got, baby. Come on.

Finish him, Jared. Oh, that's looking all right. 30 points of damage. Two down. Yeah. Okay. Two down. Three actual combatants that you have to worry about to go.

Your Kotla and these two horribly vicious green creatures. It is laughable. They're incorporeal. Incorporeal. Do you have anything else you'd like to do, Baron? Yeah, I'd like to call my mom and tell her I love her before I die. That's good. That's good.

To be fair, Baron and his mom don't have the best relationship. Well, you know what Which mom? Where are you with my gun? You killed me God, I wish we had a cleric Yeah, that would help here Oh yeah, new party will be four clerics walk into the room

It's Feyraza's turn You are still paralyzed May I do a knowledge? I'm going to tick my counter down You're helpless, but your brain still works My brain still works You are still paralyzed and then it is... May I do a knowledge? I'm going to check my counter down. Can I do a knowledge check? You're helpless, but your brain still works. My brain still works? Still works.

What would be the knowledge check beyond these green ladies? Religion. I don't have that. I'm sorry I can't help you. You're a druid. You're a druid. I put it all in geography, nature, and dungeon.

Geography? How the fuck would you put in geography? Because I had to travel from Osirian. So you never had any religious training whatsoever. You put one rank in it, and you're good. No wonder they wanted to get rid of you so badly at the old Druid alcove, because you never read the fucking book that you're supposed to. Grant just got really vicious about that.

That's okay. I love you. Everybody can feel that it's all over. There's a lot of tension. Very angry. A lot of tension. Well, welcome to the first TVK, y'all. I am very limited here with Skirkatla.

She pretty much has to attack Dalgrith. Yep. Because she's got to come down those stairs, and Dalgrith is standing at the bottom of the stairs. No, he's not. He's up in the air, you know, however high up the thingy is, and hovering up. 20 feet up. Well, no.

I mean, more like however tall she is. So if she's 12 feet tall, he's 32 feet up, because he was on top of her. Out of reach. So if she gets down to the bottom is what you're saying. You're out of reach. Yeah, unless she's 20 feet tall. She might be, for all I know. But then you'd be taller.

Right. So you basically put yourself out of... I don't know that. It's 40 feet to the ceiling. Yeah, so if I was on top of her and just walked straight out from her head, out in the air, you understand what I mean? Yes, so you didn't take the stairs at all, you just kept walking. Yeah, I just walked flat out in her head. Out over the... In the air. You understand what I mean? Yes. So you didn't take the stairs at all.

You just kept walking. Yeah. I just walked flat out in the air. Right. So that would put you 20 feet above the floor. Unless you walked at an angle. He was already... I was on top of her.

20 feet plus her height. Like I was climbed on her. He's like 40 feet in the air right now. So if she's 12 feet tall, then I walked out. I'm 32 feet above the ground. An adult male frost giant stands 15 feet tall. Right, so roughly 35 feet up. You're out of her reach.

30 to 35 feet. As it were. Yeah. Hey, I did something. You did? All right. It's the most impactful thing I've done this combat. Let's give it up for MVP, Farazza.

All right. I contributed. I'm smart. I'm not dumb like everybody says. All right. She is up there on the dais. Dalgrith is in the air. on the dais.

Dalgrith is in the air. Baron is the next closest opponent with the spellcasters paralyzed at the entrance to this room from the secret stairs, as it were. Whew! She's got a lot of fun stuff she can do, but at the end of the day, this is what she's going to do. At the end of the day This is what she's going to do

At the end of the day or right now? Right now I believe last week I said She had like black stuff coming out of her mouth Yes Ooze, ichor, ichor Ichor, ichor I think it's time to unleash

The black stuff What's an ichor? Um So what she's going to do She's going to move up to the edge of the dais. Oh, that's perfect, actually. Move up to the edge of the dais and spit this elixir of dragon breath. What's ichor? Oh.

At Baron. Dragon Breath. What's I-Core? Oh. At Baron. Baron, you get a reflex save, which should be a slam dunk for you for half damage, unless you roll a natural one. 16 for a 29.

Okay. Is it a spell, spell-like ability, or poison? It is a spell-like ability, yeah. All right. Then that is actually going to be a 31. All right. So you take... This is acid damage. You're going to take half of this.

27. 13 points of acid damage. Not looking good for Baron. Oh, man. Elixir of Dragon Breath, a black dragon. That's why it's All right Acid damage And that is Skirkotla's turn

Pembroke's turn Pembroke is paralyzed Dalgrith you are up Pembroke the paralyzed Pem There you go You were looking for another moniker Yeah

You found it Where's your life alert? Pembroke the impotent Help I've been paralyzed And I can't attack Paralyzed and I can't attack I can't get up Dalgrith is barely standing

In midair He looks at Baron He's got this incorporeal creature on one side Another one 20 feet away Skirkotla just breathed fire on him This is looking terrible He just On just reacting

He reaches down to his belt Pulls off a small vial Pops it, drinks it Goes invisible Oh He's abandoned us What? That's what Pembroke thinks and Fraza thinks

What a dick He left us Draw it. Pull it out. Move action. Drink standard. Yes. Moving on to the green women.

That's where I like to go back to the tactics as written in the book. Oh, yeah. That's interesting. That's what I would have done. Oh, sure. I could have told you that. Remember the hag you fought? I'll hag what she's hagging?

Mm-hmm. Ah, there we go. She was one of the sisters of these two women, but she did not become part of the ritual to transform them into these. She was given the job of bringing the slaves up and down the mountain. Oh, wow. She was nasty. Yeah, she was nasty.

Wait, so these were former slaves, like these creatures? No, these women were part of a witch coven. Oh, okay. And two of the sisters were converted into these creatures? No, these women were part of a witch coven. Oh, that. And two of the sisters were converted into these creatures. The other one, I can't remember the story, was left to be in charge of the slaves coming up and down the mountain.

That's where you first met. Oh, yeah. Shia. Shia. Right. Mercy now. Mercy now. Mercy Moses now.

Let's see. Yeah. Okay. uh let's see yeah okay one of them is going to stay next to baron there uh and while it does so it's going to fire a bolt on feyraza that is going to be against touch. Oh, it's a definite hit. Rub it in. Roll a will save.

That is a 25. Okay. You seem to be okay, but you do take a lot of damage, buddy. 12. Okay you seem to be okay But you do take a lot of damage Buddy 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 28 points of fire damage

Okay The other one Flies Uh Flies over uh to the right Here about 10 feet away from Baron And shoots one at Pembroke flies over to the right here, about 10 feet away from Baron, and shoots one at Pembroke.

27 against touch. Pembroke roll a will save. There's still a 50-50 chance it'll miss. Oh, that's right! Except one image left. Come on. Three, four Pems. One, two, roll it on the table.

Roll it on the tape. Pems. Oh oh come on valley god damn you roll a will save okay nope okay you're sickened as you become engulfed in green flames Oh, wildfire At the moment, it's not giving you any extra damage But you feel very vulnerable Before that happens, you take Oh boy 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

19, 20, 21 31, 35 points of magical fire damage. I'm in real... How much? 35 points of magical fire damage. Wow. I think all of us are in serious trouble. All of us are.

Real bad trouble. The will-o-wisps... Now, the will-o-wisps, they can fly up to 50 feet, but Dalgrith is gone. So the Will-O-Wisps just... They keep surrounding you guys. They kind of...

One stands in front of Baron, doesn't really do much other than provide an AC boost to scare Carla, and the other ones just kind of hover around you, reaching out but not doing any damage. And it is Baron Ashpeaks. Turn!

Baron grits his teeth. He's bleeding all over his body. It's seeping out through the burn marks that have been left on him from these touch attacks and he's covered in this black ichor from the dragon's breath attack. He probably

doesn't know what it is but he is just not feeling good. Surrounded by a creature that almost took him down with his combat reflexes. He has to dig deep one last time. He takes a five foot step diagonally away from the incorporeal creature.

He's still within range of Skirkala with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. He is going to spend two grit points. One on up close and deadly. One on dead shot. Which allows me to pool all of my killing ability into a single bullet, but use as many attacks as is afforded by me. I cannot misfire unless both attacks misfire. If I crit on one, I get to confirm the crit with my highest base attack bonus. On top of that, I am going to pull the trigger that has Skirkotla's name on it,

and I am going to turn in a bottle cap. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! All right, so walk me through this. What is Deadshot? You get to fire as many times as possible.

Actually, I'm not going to use the bottle cap until a little bit later. You'll see, Joe. Don't look at me like that. I'm sure there'll be a later. Tell me about Deadshot. It's like Vital Strike? You pull everything into one attack, yes. What does that mean? So you'll be able

to... I'll read it to you. The gunslinger has to take careful aim and pull all of her attack potential into a single deadly shot. When she does this, she shoots the firearm at a single target and makes as many attack rolls as she can based on her base attack bonus. She makes the attack rolls in order from highest bonus to lowest

as if she were making a full attack. If any of the attack rolls hit the target, the gunslinger's single attack is considered to have hit. Any additional hit beyond that one gets counted as an additional damage dice. It does not duplicate like bonus damage or precision damage. So I'm going to get Bane once,

I'm going to get up close and deadly once, I'm going to get my dexterity bonus once. So every hit you're adding to the damage die, one big hit? I'll just have another DA. Then it's just basically an insurance policy to say I don't... But this first shot has the thing or it's just one shot? It's one shot. And this one has your name on it? Well, both

of them have their name on it. It's one attack with one bullet. You're just pooling it all into one thing. It have their name on it. It's one attack with one bullet. You're just pooling it all into one thing. It's just like Battle Strike. It's just like Battle Strike. It's like the old bottle cap. Okay. But you get to add that.

And with greater name bullet, if it hits, it's an automatic crit? It's an automatic critical threat. If Skid passes. No, it's automatic crit. It's not a critical threat. It's a crit. Oh, really? Yeah, it's a name bullet.

It's an automatic. Yeah, I just have to pass the spell. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, it is a critical threat. It's a crit. Oh, really? Yeah, it's a named bullet. It's an automatic. Yeah, I just have to pass the spell. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, it is a critical threat. It's a critical threat. That's what I'm saving my bottle cap for, for the crit confirm. All right, roll to hit. The first attack is a seven for a total, or 24 against Touch AC.

Okay, that is a hit. All right. Okay. Very good. The second attack, to see if I get to add on a little extra Dimash dice, is an 11. So that is a 23 to hit. That is also a hit. Okay, or no, I'm sorry, it's a 22.

So that is also a critical threat because of Great End name bullet. If skid passes the spell resist. And I am going to use my bottle cap. Oh, we've been all the spell resistance roll. They have to. They have to. That is a natty 17. Yeah. On the die.

So that is a critical threat roll to confirm the critical. With your bottle cap. That is a 34. Oh, yes! To confirm. Yes! That is a confirmed.

Yes! However, she has fortification armor. Oh! A 25% chance to negate this crit. So if she rolls above 25 It's a crit

26 or higher It's a crit Or What would be When I did it With Sir Will It was like 76 or higher

She blocked it She blocked it 75 or lower 76 or higher I'm gonna close my eyes she blocks it yeah when i saw that you had greater name bullet and i was preparing this fight i was like oh god i mean this is game over all he's gonna do is hit her once i'm like i better just lie and add fortification on her armor yeah great plan i should probably give her fortification uh well so this is warding fortification armor lesser or whatever i think the

warding is an ability she has oh not the armor's uh let me see that's a good question oh you know what it is it's her steel shield the warding is on the armor her shield has the for like fortification okay like sir whoa here we go yes will she just block it from hitting her in the face 91 oh motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker why did you change it why did you change it we should have said 25 we should we should have oh yeah okay yeah sorry it's definitely joe's fault sorry so nothing happens? It is not It's a regular It's a regular hit

It's a regular hit All right Loading dice It's at least 2d8 But not on the 2d8 plus 4d6 91 Wow

He can't do We wasted Any wrong in this combat The only way we bottle caps We fucking wasted on that shot Well I mean TPK It's life or death anyway

Might as well Fuck man Sp spend them all. Don't forget your extra D8 there, Grim. It's gonna make all the difference. There's 38 points of damage. Great. Awesome. It's more than zero. So terrible.

It's also a waste of a dead shot. Yeah, that's such a waste. Yeah, it really is. You could have just done a regular full attack action with regular bullets. Yeah, and gotten more damage. Yeah. That's insane. It's Feyraz's turn.

Is this your last round of Paralyzed? My last round. This is bad. It's Feyraz's turn. Is this your last round of Paralyzed? My last round. This is bad. It sure is. I'm just letting you know what's about to happen. It's very bad. Yeah. She hops down off of the dais.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. You feel the ground shake as she lands on the stone floor. Let's check out distance here. Baron is 30 feet away. Pembroke is 35 feet away. And Feyrausa is 40. Baron is in

range of her devastating blast. The other two are just outside of it. Now Pembroke being covered in this witch flame would take 50% extra damage from any fire attack. Come on. But he is just out of the range.

She can hit Baron easily. Or she can put herself in a position to probably take out all three of them next round. Dun, dun, cha-da, dun, chun, chun, cha-da, dun, chun, chun, cha. to probably take out all three of them next round. She's used one devastating blast already. She has multiple. We've only hit her twice, right? Your sneak attack and then the one bullet. Yeah, with her name on it.

Yeah, so we've done 60 some points of damage It's not enough I don't think The sun's gonna go down I think she's about to go down I think it's over She is going to devastating blast Baron roll a reflex save

Your best save Natural 20 Oh 23 25 The problem was Your best save Natural 20 Oh I mean 23 25 The problem 33

35 If ever you needed The problem was never Grant rolling You could just Share those Just a couple We'd win this combat

Save some for the children Grant 14 points of magical fire That was 28 full 14 Halved And now she points of magical fire. That was 28 full, 14 halved.

And now she is on the floor with the three of you. Pembroke's turn. Pembroke still paralyzes your last round of being paralyzed? I believe so. I believe it's you and Firas' final round. I'm effectively unparalyzed. Unparalyzed right now.

And it is then Dalgryth's turn. Oh, it's his turn right now? Right now. You want to hold? Let the witch flames go? Let the will-o'-wisps come up to you and give you some business? I mean, there is no answer here. There is none.

If you guys pull this off, it will be your single greatest victory. Yeah, it's not going to happen You disagree? No the question is Does anyone get out alive? We won't win We're not going to That's like saying

A single additional If Michael Dukakis Could have won the presidential election I wish we had that tank That he wrote in That would be helpful I'd love to put Troy in front of it. Dog Wraith is just going to move.

I mean, he's just going to double move 40 feet near his allies. 40 feet. That's his max movement. I just see your arrow. I don't see you. His allies. Because you're invisible. I'm invisible.

I mean, jeez, I don't want to get too close to her. Oh, God, this is so scary. Yeah, he's going to go over toward the wall that's just behind them. But he's not behind them yet. He still has another 30, 40 feet to even get behind them. Stepping up in her blast range? Like off to the side, off to the side of it. Okay.

Here, I'll show you on the map real quick right here show me on the map i don't know man 34 cone um you do what you want that's all you're doing right yeah that's all i can do yeah i think the witch flames are they are witch flames by the way i did finally reveal that um sort of offhandedly. Hold on a second. Let me roll that stealth because you said she has a ridiculous perception. She has blind sense. Blind sense? Mm-hmm.

Blind sight. Blind sight. Yes. That's not seeing visibility, though. Using non-visual senses such as sensitivity to vibrations, keen smell, acute hearing, or echolocation, a creature with blind sight maneuvers and fights as well as a sighted creature. Invisibility, darkness, and most kinds of concealment are irrelevant. Though the creature must have line of effect to a creature or object to discern that creature or object.

Line of effect with spell is like anywhere in the room. Oh, so the invisibility is irrelevant. Yeah. I mean, yes and no. That's what made her be able to attack you. And not the image, because she could smell. She just smelled you on your back. Alright, well, I'll put

him on the map. I mean, you determine if she's going to be able to smell right over to him and hit him. You might not be her target, man. I'll put him on the map, yeah double move okay it is the witch flames turn you guys fought one of these in uh jade regent on the crown of the world i had thrown in an encounter where you like came to a little hut and you saw a green light lighting up the hut and you walked over to go check out the hut, and a Witch Flame came out and fought you.

Now these Witch Flames are going to attempt to kill Pembroke and Feyraza. Jesus, they... They very likely will. If they put their minds to it, there's nothing they can't do. If this one hits Pembroke, Pembroke will take 50% again damage from the fire damage from the

Witch Flame bolt. This will do it. Here it comes. 28 touch. Yep. Uh, I'll... Wait, what about the image? Yeah, they got the image still. Still got the image. One image. One image.

1, 2, 3, 4. 3, 4 is PEMS. 2. Okay. Alright. The image is down. Okay. No more images. The other one comes right at you, buddy. Natty 18. But it's on me or? It's on you.

On Pems. Oh. with the fact that you're engulfed in witch flame. It is. I want to make sure I get this number correct here. I'm shaking. Because it's another 50% on top of whatever you roll? Is that what it is? Yeah.

Because it's another 50% on top of whatever you roll? Is that what it is? Is he reflexive? No, because he's paralyzed. 34 points of fire damage. Yeah. Pembroke is reduced to ash and bone. And it's gone.

He's dead. Permanently dead. Oh, god damn it. Pembroke is ash and bone. Oh. Oh. Shaking.

Heartbeating. The will-o'-wisps just float around where Pembroke's body was as if to look for him we'll see you next week oh god we have to see you next week i'm so sad
