Order up for Damien. Hey, how did your doctor's appointment go, by the way? Did you ask about Rebelsis? Actually, I'm seeing my doctor later today. Did you say Rebelsis? My dad's been talking about Rebelsis. Rebelsis? Really? Yeah, he says it's a pill that...

That's right! Did you know it's also covered by most private insurance plans? Well, I'll definitely be asking my doctor if Rebelsis is right for me. Rebelsis. Ask your doctor or visit Rebelsis.ca. Order up for Rebelsis. Hey, I just got us a new Coca-Cola spice. Nice. What's it taste like?

It's like barefoot water skiing while dolphins click with glee. Whoa, let me try. Nah, it's like gliding on a gondola through waving waters as a mermaid sings. Nah, it's like Coca-Cola with a refreshing burst of raspberry and spiced flavors. Yeah. Try new Coca-Cola Spiced today. Last week on the Glass Cannon Podcast, the heroes encountered a terrified giant. You also see a giant crouching in the space near the window, looking apprehensively over the table.

And you open the door, and she turns to look at you and looks afraid. Who beseeched them to help her. I am the daughter of a distant wood giant chieftain who sent me here to the castle as an apprentice to the cloud giants of Zephyr Hall. When

Volstis took over, I and many others were enslaved, and he is currently holding me for ransom. But all was not as it appeared. Why wouldn't you just take the bait? And at that moment she just

turns into this enormous three-headed dragon. What? And rears back all three heads. Roll for initiative. Oh my god! And the heroes charged in to eliminate the threat. And the lance goes straight through the middle head,

sticks out its mouth at the top, and a little flag comes off the end of your lance that says, The adventure continues. You level up. Oh! And we're getting up! Oh my God! Now. No. The road to 300 is heating up.

I want to talk to you all about something that Matthew just shared with us that I think is both untrue and gross. I don't know where you're going to go with this. I don't know. There's actually a couple options. Tell us about the wasp fig. Oh, a friend of mine was telling me about this. I thought it was an urban legend, but I looked it up, and apparently it's true.

Hold on a second. If you love figs, proceed with caution. Don't listen to this. Skip ahead 30 seconds. Go ahead, Matthew. Apparently, there is, yes, it's true, a dead wasp in every fig there's no way that is true we've been eating fig newtons for 42 years the wasp gets broken down and you know the enzyme within the fig breaks it down so you're not like biting into wasp skin but technically it is

important to note figs are not vegetarian because of this I'm joking. But wait, when you eat a fig newton, there's dead wasp in there, technically. Yes, I guess technically. No way that's true. How? So apparently a fig is not a fruit. It's an inverted flower. And a wasp will fly inside the fig to lay their eggs and get trapped in there and die. So by definition, a fig is made by a bee going in there

and dying wasp yes what's the difference between a bee and a wasp spelling you serious right now oh i'm kind of serious you've seen a bee right there you know i know but isn't a wasp just a kind of bee all bees are not wasps but but all wasps are bees. Are hairstylists. Look it up. Anyway, yes, that's how they get fertilized, like a bee with flowers, except that it gets trapped and it can't get out and dies. And the babies emerge from the eggs and fly away. Oh, that's good.

At least the babies aren't in there. Yes, and they fly away to grow up and fertilize more fig flowers. From the U.S. Forest Service website, in there yes and they fly away to grow up and fertilize more fig flowers from the uh u.s forest service website when the female flowers inside the immature fruit are ready for pollination the fig emits an enticing aroma that attracts only female wasps of the specific type for that tree the wasp finds the fig by its scent and struggles to get inside it sounds sexy already through the small opening at the end of the fig. Even sexier. It is such a tight passage that the WAP usually

loses its wings and pieces of antennae. It does not matter because it needs it so bad. It does not matter because it will never need them again. It runs around the interior of the... Danielle Steele? It runs around the interior of the fruit visiting many flowers laying its eggs inside them future

seeds that will nourish its progeny and also spread the pollen collected from the previous fig where it was born the stop it i'm about to spread my pollen i know put your pants back on i can't help it put away that stamen But yeah Wow But figs are delicious They are But the price you pay Is you're eating A dead wasp

Yeah Have you never had Like chocolate covered ants Or anything like that No No I never They're great For that

They're great No they're not They're not There's perfectly Other good sources of protein Out there That I don't have to eat Bugs

Such as Beef Chicken Well then you're eating A perfectly lovely cow who also can produce dairy products, like cheese, which I love. That's fine.

And pumped with antibodies, all that stuff. Not the beef I eat. I eat pure American grass-fed beef. Listen, let's remember. I watch all of them raised from birth to my table to make sure that I'm objective. You watch them? I watch them, yeah. I have cameras.

Live stream? Live stream, yeah. I watch them like 24 hours a day, but I have a contract with my beef farmers to make sure they don't inject them with any of those gross things that you're talking about. Have you ever had alligator or crocodile? I have had one of the two. No, I've had alligator. I've had alligator.

There's a bar on 54th Street I used to go to. Randy, bartender there for a while. It's called Bourbon Street. Oh, yeah. And they had grilled alligator, I think. Tastes just like chicken. Alligator meatballs is what I had. Oh, that sounds fun.

Eating a fig wasp is probably less less detrimental to you than eating like a predator that eats all those other things like an alligator crocodile bugs are so gross though it's true i don't care for bugs but in this case they are broken down it's the cycle of nature i'm on edibleinsects.com right now and i am looking at these mango habanero roasted cricket snacks i think i'm gonna pick up they come in a vial too nope nope no i know it's very popular mark cuban invested in one on shark tank these cricket chips no thank you i don't need bugs i saw you need bugs you need them to pollinate the various other things you eat yeah they're also to help some bugs are predators that keep the worst bugs away from

you not interested i saw an ant crawling on my wall the other day and i said oh and archer was right there he's like i gotta take this amp and uh send him back to his friends swim away and i threw him in the toilet he's gonna go see his friends in the toilet is what i told my son when i squished him between my fingers because it's a gross fucking ant. Did Archer then ask, are his friends going to come visit us through the toilet? Because that's where my mind would have went. No. Luckily, he accepted the lie at face value. He's like, I think we understand each other.

And then we moved on with our day. He's like, ate a hamburger. Gotcha, dad. Wink. Wink. His friends. His friends, dad. His friends.

Yep. You murderer. You murderer. Murderer. Murderer. wink wink his friends dad friends yep you murderer can i can i put a bow on this by reading the last sentence of this incredibly erotic paragraph yes here it is please oh it's the last two sentences the ovary of some of the flowers is safely out of reach of the wasp so it can't lay its eggs in them and those seeds can reach maturity having fulfilled her life's mission the female wasp dies inside the fig fulfilled your life's mission that wasp gets to lay its head down inside of a fig with a greater degree of peace than any of us could ever hope for what a shitty life its life is to make fig newtons right that's your life the the figs

the fig newtons other people that's other people's life no that's figs only purpose you're telling me those keebler elves crawl inside each of our fig newtons and die inside of them before we eat them i think they inseminate the wasp okay wait you know the only things you eat are fig newtons i don't buy a bunch of figs i'm not at at the grocery store like, ah, gotta get my figs. I mean, I don't get them often, but they're delicious. I've eaten figs right off the tree. Really? Didn't know they were filled with dead wasps.

Yep. Bite into it. Hornets. Start flying down your throat. Ah! And the egg sacs of their young, evidently. Yeah. Those leave.

Those leave with the children? The children are born. They clean up after themselves? They're like, good luck, mom. Yeah. See ya. I'm a sax. Sorry about your wings.

Peace. Peace. I'm going to go die in a thing. Got to fulfill my life's mission. Peace. You've been, that wasn't the first thing we talked about today. So you've been holding on to that one. What was the first thing we talked about?

I don't remember. We talked about a couple of things. Oh oh how our bodies are like 50 not our organism yes and troy did not like that at all i don't bet yeah i i i i softballed and i was like there's a good portion of our bodies that is other organisms and grant looked it up and was like 51 that's just not true we're mostly not ourselves i don't feel like myself right now. Oh, it's because you said something, Troy, about a strawberry and you put it in a thing and then a million bugs walk out of it. Every strawberry?

You ready to have strawberries ruined for you? I looked that up. Apparently they're harmless. Yeah, but they're alive. You soak a strawberry in something. I can't remember if it's water or what it is. Salt water. Salt water and just let it sit there. Go in your kitchen right now, grab a strawberry, soak it. Salt water. Salt water. And just let it sit there. Go in your kitchen right now. Grab a strawberry.

Soak it in salt water. And just wait. And all of a sudden, little fucking things come out. I got to check this out. Every strawberry ever. Ask Troy for his source on this. What's your source? It's TikTok.

TikTok. My wife showed it to me. It's TikTok. It's TikTok. I started a glass cannon TikTok, but we haven't put anything on it yet. I just want to be ahead of the times. Yeah. Yeah.

Real ahead. Ahead? Yeah. You mean desperately slipping and falling. Well, we have to take some time to learn all the dance moves. Desperately trying to maintain our relevance in an ever-changing world. I started up a TikTok account just to watch other TikToks, and the TikToker that I watch, the Tikoker let me finish just want to watch the person i watch is just a

guy and all he does is react to other people cooking delicious foods and he i'm excited that he is so excited to be watching these people watch the cook these delicious foods have you watched the tiktok guy who tries all the foods he was afraid to eat or was like he never ate growing up he had a very very limited diet and now he's like it's and it's it's everything from like pickles to beets and he's usually very surprised by them it's delightful and every time i watch it i think of joe in that restaurant in seattle ordering a grilled cheese shut up yeah this beautiful restaurant this is what an apple tastes like i said joe uh well let's get your thoughts on all this i like the ikea guy on tiktok oh look who's got a secret burner account no i just watch it on

when it comes up on twitter but uh but that guy's really you know that guy no no he's like the ikea employees like he's the talking back to theoretical like customer decisions like it's just like you you sure it's not around the back and it's just like there's nothing around the back what have you ever worked anywhere there's a there's a schedule back there hang up with our names on it. It's really funny. I won't do it justice. I like the TikTok guy that does the fake ads.

How many people saw Inside? Matthew, you were watching it. Bo Burnham Inside, he does the branding thing. Yes. Right? So there's a guy on TikTok who just does commercials where it cuts them off right as he gets to like the product but all up to it it is like the most serious like impactful global shit and he's like and that's why sweet tarts believes that and then he just like cuts off it goes to the next there's a bunch of them and they're so fucking funny

gotta check it out well this is why we haven't launched yet. We don't have a good idea. Can't just see Matthew doing the latest dance craze. Yeah, you don't want to see that. I do have the guy. Play a little bit of it. You just lost yourself a customer. You think I own this business?

Oh, I have seen this guy. You think I own Ikea? I'm a part-time employee halfway through a two-week notice i don't give a shit that's the thing though troy you don't need to have an idea beforehand that noise that ding dong ding ding ding everyone just makes their own version of it where like you think i'm you know just a normal person and they have an accent or they're from a different part of the united states or something like that and they reveal it there you just have to get on the latest trends yeah that's the thing it's all trends and crazes and you just gotta do your version of it this one

is really this is my favorite telling all my friends not to shop here tell them i think i want five other u's running around the store have them call me i'll tell him You think you hate this place more than me? I work here What does he call? Give him a shout out Scott Seiss Scott Seiss, give him a follow Another delightful thing we found out Right before going to recording today I think my new favorite thing is

Grant singing the Sirenscape to Joe Oh man, he got into it what did i do who needs sirenscape anymore you like you like got up on the mic i don't remember you got like your hands involved i have no memory of this you just said that you were like joe i need to talk to you about your cave ambience and then you were just like you know when you're like but you didn't stop for like 45 seconds and then you were like you know sometimes when you're playing the battle music and then you sang the battle music but then you're like but then sometimes it gets quiet and it goes and then you sang that part it was a tour de force this is this is all in an

effort because i have been called by matthew in particular condescending i'm trying to do anything possible to provide positive feedback in a way that is not interpreted as being mean at any time. So I sang, and I know that sometimes my voice is not, I'm not a perfect mimic, so I wanted to give you plenty to orient yourself with. Grant, you should know better. Around here, there is only one kind of positive feedback.

It's one that doesn't require you to change anything you already did. That's the only positive feedback that's accepted in this office. Yeah. Well, that's right. Basically, I'm sorry, Sirenscape, but Grant is preparing to give you a run for your money and make all the sounds with his mouth. Just sit in here all day recording yourself a bunch of sets.

I'm available live for bar mitzvahs. Just call me. He's been called the songbird of his generation. Let's talk about level 16. You did it. You did it. Looks like we made it. 16 levels.

Highest for everyone except maybe Skid. I feel like, Skid, you've dabbled this high. No? I don't think so. Yeah, because I played so rarely. I was always GMing. What were we at in book six? Were we 13?

I think you were 14 or 15. So, yeah, 16. Let's talk about it. Let's get it out of the way. Who knows? This could be your last level up, so make it count, Matthew. Yeah. Skid, let's start with you.

Classic. Classic Slayer. Did you go with the little Slayer wizard? Yes, I went with the wizard, yeah. You i went with the wizard dip you got to do the wizard dip it's smart you want to burn that 16th level on a one level wizard dip uh yeah i actually just took another level in slayer okay i unconventional yeah yeah that's honestly well the one i get another slayer talent but i feel like i've kind of already gone through the more useful ones for me so yeah they get kind of boring and like ranger combat styles you're limited to three i've already maxed those out so i took fast stealth so i can stealth move

stealthily at full speed which is that's not bad it's pretty good and i got another i was able to get an even number level up on my dexterity. So I'm at 24 dex again, so my number bonus went up there. Oh, that's great. I thought you guys got an ability point boost. Yeah. Wow. That's one of those, too. Yeah, that's for sure.

It's so wild to get to that last 16th level one. That's wild. to get to that last 16th level one. That's wild. Yeah. And my, yeah, my deadly aim bonus went up and, uh,

yeah, it's pretty, you know, nothing too exciting, but, uh, certainly some useful stuff. You seem sad.

You feel like this is going to be his last level up. I've probably, yeah. Yeah. I can sense it in your voice. Yeah. I think that's it. Do you want to roll hit points and,

uh, yes, this will cheer you up or make your day worse. All right, let's see. Are you a D8 or? D10. D10, okay. Seven.

Okay, that's not bad, unless I roll a seven. Six? Seven? Okay. Hey! Hey! Beat it. All right.

You should roll a eight, nine, or ten. Love a seven. Baron, what about you? You're the only person that's rolled up every individual level of this, of this overpowered character. Um, what are you doing here at 16? Are you going, you keep it in quiz? I took a level in fig wasp.

Fig wasp. I'm ready to find my inverted flower, crawl in it and die. That's third party. I won't allow it. Uh, no, I was looking at some fun let me talk about the more fun choice than the choice i made first i was looking at some prestige classes including shield marshal and grand marshal which are both firearm based oh shield marshal uh backstory are the chief law enforcements of the grand duchy of alkenstar which is a nation

founded on guns it's way far away it didn't make sense i could bend it maybe someone in my family line all this stuff i didn't like choosing that one for that reason grand marshal is not supported in hero lab for some reason it's very similar it gives you an eye for detail which allows you to add intelligence and wisdom bonus on perception and sense motive checks and it gives you a legal judgment which allows you to pronounce legal judgment upon your foes as a swift action uh which is basically like judgments from an inquisitor but upon the foes but they all seem to affect the grand marshal uh in a strange way so that was a little too samey with the inquisitor i also needed a couple more points in some of the required skills for the prestige classes but i have myself ready to take a level at either should i level up again however i am now a ninth level inquisitor seventh

level dwarf gun slinger wow many of my uh uh sacred uh bonuses from judgments have gone up from three to four my destruction bonus that's great fast healing for piercing for uh my my protection bonus is still the same that's not gonna snap off yet um what was the big thing i got a new teamwork feat um which will allow me out of combat to take um the highest available stealth role rolled at any given time so if both nester i are sneaking somewhere i can take the higher role oh that's interesting yeah it's called stealth synergy we sometimes just do that without that knowing that that's an actual uh i think you usually like take everyone's stealth individually yeah yeah is that just nester or any of us? Anyone, when an ally who also has a feat

and by the benefit of an Inquisitor's ability to foe provide you with that, you don't get to benefit from it yourself. I get to benefit as if you did. So yes, I could take anyone with an eyesight of me. Because you know I'm made of shadow. But your rolls are, I don't know, they're okay. Wow.

Wow. Wow! You just got stung by the wasp. So I took that, and I thought that was neat because it is an out-of-combat teamwork feat. The rest are kind of teamwork-based. And finally, I got another third-level spell, but I don't think I want to say the spell because I wanted to come out in combat.

All right. Okay. What did you put your ability point in yeah i put it in like i was in a rough spot where none of my bonuses outside of strength i would i would go from a zero to a plus one in strength but really wouldn't do anything for me so i put it into um i put it into dexterity again um just you know to get whatever else. And who knows? One day, maybe something will happen. Okay. D8. D8.

Okay. I'll allow it. Are you nervous about this? No, it doesn't matter. Okay. What'd you get? Six. Six.

Oh! Snap, crackle, pop Crack die Oh, I bet it was Seven Five Two sevens so far I'm feeling the pressure

Terminator music Joey Joe, Joe, Sir Will, he's back He's back He hasn't been here that long. He's already rated a level up again. I know. He cheated up a few levels, which is kind of a bummer,

because this marks the highest level character I've ever played. This is it. This is it. In our campaign, you, Skid, and I, we played 15th level right at the end for a little bit, and that was just brief. And now, yeah, a 16th level character. First thing is for Paladins, and forgive me if I missed it from either of you guys

because it works for both, well, maybe not for Baron because he multi-class, but definitely works for Slayer. 16, I've never had it before, four attacks around. Oh, wow. Four attacks around. Oh, wow. Four attacks around.

That's the 16th level of a... If you're standing and banging, which you don't. No, I don't. I don't. But I saw it come up and I was just like, oh my God. But I do have a feat that lets me move my mounts full speed and full attack. Nice. So like if that ever comes up against an evil creature, it could be pretty sweet. What's that feat called?

It is called and yes i have four attacks around i had four attacks last level yeah oh you did yeah really yep how did you it's at 16th level it's the first you get it without like uh bonus feats or whatever just the base four attacks around anyway um i can't remember it and i just just can't find it right now. What is it called? Grant, do you have perpetual haste on your character? No, I don't. Let me just have it checked from three months ago.

I've had it on since we came back into the studio. Mounted Skirmisher. That's it. You are adept at attacking from a swift moving steed. If your mount moves its speed or less you can still take a full attack action pretty sweet uh all right so yeah paladin wise not that much uh sir will gets another smite evil per day and another uh second and third level spell per day day um and that's it uh my ability point did matter for me i i uh took my charisma from 23

to 24 which was nice so very likable and uh yeah charismatic fellow uh and it just gives me another couple lay on hands a day another channel per day all that kind of stuff pretty sweet wow all right and did lexington get any new things uh yes lexington got a uh he got a feat and i just took uh mobility so he gets a bonus to his ac against aos when he's moving out of the threatened area let's talk hp uh okay let's do lexington first what is he he is a d8 okay oh come on oh no come on lexington eight oh two yeah wow lexi magoo nice job buddy sir willamette oh Oh, man. Need that. Sir Will is a D10. Here it is. And here it is. We already have two sevens.

Oh, boy. Come on, LaValle. Oh, boy. This is so painful. Oh, this one's going to be bad. Oh. This is going to be bad. Ten.

One. Holy shit. Wow. Wow. Sir Will. Remember that when Sir Will survives permadeath by one point. Oh my god. I got a 10!

I can't believe it! Wow. Phenomenal. He has two total 10s in 15 levels, besides level one. Of all the rolls, he has two 10s in 15 levels. What about old Matthew Crapit at a casa what did metra do i'm sure the middle school kids in jersey never said that sorcerer swashbuckle dip uh yeah that's exactly what i swashed it a little swash dip swash uh no i stuck with sorcerers because

sorcerers at 16th level get an eighth level spell this is what i'm curious about i want to hear about the s i'm i i'll tell you privately skid but i'm not going to announce on the air because i don't i don't want i don't want because you were sharing with me some of your ideas and it's like man these are all great but you you're texting to them to me in secret i took the one that we thought was, I think, was our joint favorite. Okay. So just one? You only get one.

And you only get one per day? Three times a day I can cast it. You can cast it three times a day? That's insanity. That's insanity. Why would you play anything but a gunslinger or a sorcerer? I don't understand. World-altering spells.

The funny thing is I didn't think they were world there are some i mean they're i don't know the funny thing is i didn't think they were world altering but they're pretty crazy powerful yeah yeah this will be the most powerful magic we've seen on the network so let me tell you i'll tell you a spell i didn't take okay i would have taken it but for some conditions in this adventure which will become clear uh oh form of the dragon yes i can just become a chromatic dragon yeah and why didn't you take it because of the orb of dragon kind right because of the orb of dragon pretty cool yeah i did think about it would have been awesome you're saying like at the right moment that would have been so incredible but probably at the most opportune moment the orb of dragon kind would have made an

appearance and fucked up everything imagine be like game uh game of thrones all over and you turn against the party and then sir will smites you it takes you out oh my god you should have done it just so we could have done that that would have been awesome and you and i could have teamed up and done some fun stuff alas i'd be dead and around matthew troy and metra against us i'll be pretty rough oh that would be great we why don't we should just make that a like a charity goal or something that we like once we finish once we finish the adventure what let's go back and do the final battle as if i had turned into a dragon and joined you i love that we should just take some of the best like uh end of book bosses and the pcs and it just have like a draft two captains oh that's a good two teams and then they play each other on a huge arena that's what our live shows used to be before

we uh did strange a on so they battle royales uh that's really cool it's good on you for even thinking that though because if you had been like that just sounds cool let's take it and then you realize too late that would have been credit to skid for reminding me as i was i was like i was like this would be awesome and he's like i think maybe not with this yeah because of certain things that might come into play in this particular adventure yeah that might not be the best thing this boss has a certain set of skills that oppose that really well i have a question about the spell you did take. Can you tell me one thing? Can you spell it? Does it have a saving throw? No.

Ah. Yeah. It does have something. It does have something with a DC. Oh, it has like a secondary effect or something. Oh, now I'm not sure which one this is. Okay. Say no more.

All will become clear. So yeah, I get the eighth level spell, but not a ton else.'s a it's a it's a pretty oh i mean i get the ability score point but i'm in a funny place where i had all even yeah number ability score on my ability scores so i i took joe's advice i was gonna put it in con figuring if i go under like it's an extra round to stabilize but joe was like or you could just throw into charisma in case you get hit with a negative level or some charisma damage or drain. Yeah, you don't want that. That's actually pretty smart. So I put in charisma, even though it has no mechanical effects.

Yeah, no, that's good. There are lots of things that would hurt you most. Charisma drainwallster will, too. Also, I made a discovery. Oh, you took an alchemist level? I did not. Hello! That's a deep cut. That's it.

That's a deep cut. Very inside joke. Very inside. If you're not a fan of Pathfinder, you probably didn't get that one. So as I was hemming and hawing over how to distribute my three skill points I got at this level. Classic. I was like, you know what? I'm going to put a point in linguistics and learn Giant so I can understand what everyone's saying. Why did I not pick that up?

I only had 3.2. I should have done that. And then I discovered I had done that at some point ago. Same thing with me. Because the way Hero Lab is, I was looking at my starting languages and it wasn't on there. And then I looked at the other page and said,

oh wait, I do have Giant. It's on this other page. I thought it was weird that you guys didn't know. I thought it was weird, too. I was sure I had it because I was like, I don't read or write it, but I thought that I could speak it. But I didn't see it. It didn't really matter. I'm saving it for 17th level. Blew up.

Speaking Giant. You guys blew up that encounter anyway. Joe, to answer your question i remembered i was scratching my head and trying to have it have i been cheating rapid shot was on so that's why i thought i had four i three i still only have four of this level oh here it comes here it comes yep i don't know is there ever a reason ever that you wouldn't use rapid shot in a full attack action uh to reduce misfire chances because every time i roll is um but you won't you never turn it off right no and you you you the the first the first two attacks are minus two yeah um but for you that doesn't it's not so you have

five attacks now with rabbit shot four okay um also... Because he multi-classed. A gunslinger straight up does get four attacks at level 16. Yeah, right. The... What was I going to say the other thing was? Oh, yes. I also thought about taking a level in Paladin for Smite Evil. However, Lawful Good prohibited me from doing so.

So... Oh, yes. This is not 2E. Matthew, your hit point dice. D6. Sorcerer. Yes, your hit point dice. D6. Sorcerer. Yes, sorcerer. Brutal.

Out of the box, and it was a 1. What'd you get? 4. 5. Oh, yeah! You guys did great! 7, 7, 10, 5. That's freaking great.

You're going to need every bit of that HP, let me tell you. It really does seem so insignificant like i look at my number and i'm just like in the grand scheme of the world of giant giant crits like what is six more hit points like it's just nothing but how often are you sitting at one hit point yeah it happens more frequently than you think yeah no you're not wrong or zero the other question matthew's character build and decision not to take the dragon transformation brings up is we saw Noxymar freak out and eyes roll back and all this healing happen on her. Noxymar is a female red dragon? Mm-hmm.

As we got here. So do we get the sense that this dragon that tricked us was cool on its own volition? What's going on with this one yeah oxymor is evil as well right because of the type of dragon it is noxemore is technically evil but evil doesn't always mean that everyone's going to get along right right it just means self-interested right for the most part but it's also like yeah i don't know i i that's a great question ground i would just think that uh it would not have such a presence of mind to like cast so many spells and so many deceptive

spells and everything if it was like completely mind controlled but i guess they all have their own like decision making and maybe some of them are like uh just like these orcs upstairs are like let's steam up maybe they want to join yeah because they can see what's coming and they're like you know what rather than get uh my mind melted by this dude i'll just join them and be an ally interesting yeah it would have been a fun uh encounter if you guys weren't so powerful um well i'm sorry just for the record that's a sense motive role that isn't it's a sense enchantment you can roll sense motive to determine if they are under the effects of right yeah i also wanted to roll arcana calm down so we're so fast i wanted to i wanted to roll arcana to see what she had done to trick us was it what kind of illusion was it

yeah so i'm just going to tell you because you really have no way of knowing this now that she's dead uh she was a creature known as a gornich or gornick uh gory nick or gornich i don't know how do you spell it pronounce it g-o-r-y n-y-c-h um she assumed uh she used alter self to assume the form of a of a wood giant i wonder i made her large because i thought it'd be more interesting, but I think as written, she was just supposed to be this medium character. And she had cast limited wish on herself to cast undetectable alignment. So if Garen was like, let me just check the alignment of this room before we go in, or like mid-convo is like, let me check the alignment. She would have undetectable. I was actually in character mad at myself. I did it in character for not detecting evil,

but I was actually just mad as a player that I didn't detect evil, which is so fucking dumb. Like I forget that that's such an important thing to do when you're talking to an unknown NPC stranger. So interesting that it would be like, you don't detect evil because it's not detect good. You know what I mean? So like I could say that and you could totally straight up be like, no, you don't detect evil. Like's not detect good. You know what I mean? So like I could say that and you could totally straight up be like,

no, you don't detect evil. Like, all right, good, good, good. It's just really awesome.

It's a Slavic dragon, a Slavic dragon. Yeah. No, it's cool. The Gornik. Oh, the wood giant is a Slavic dragon.

The Slavic people have such a great imagination thinking that wood giants could be dragons oh and it had constant true seeing yeah that always freaks me out the idea of constant true seeing it's so great i'm like are you just target metra yeah i had there was a there was an eighth level spell that i was looking at called mind blank i think it it specifically works against true seeing well you know that so if you had multiple eighth level spells that'd be fun to take but as your only one that's tough of course you guys had fucking protection from fire on like yeah the the way this worked out you just were so perfectly set up for this encounter but like i didn't i was playing it that she didn't know that you put that on her so i wanted to at least spend a round doing the fire i wish you know even if she was

psychically linked to the fire giants they never tried to touch us yeah it's just you were you were so perfectly equipped for a pretty badass uh cr-15 creature that would have been pretty bad yeah we don't have a hell of a lot worse i mean would have taken well the fallout from the battle though i'm curious about because i expressly stated I was using the whispering gloves to whisper messages back and forth. My gun is silenced. Nestor's bows are pretty quiet. Let's hope that for Highbury Charge was flavor,

but even if it was loud, like, have the orcs that we think are up... Definitely wasn't for flavor. Definitely real, you know. So did the orcs hear that through the area? Did they? I don't know. You've got these two staircases leading up. You only saw one staircase in the room Metro when you were peering through.

I think it was you. It might've been Barrett. That doesn't mean there wasn't a second staircase or they connect, but you do see that and you don't hear anything. Hmm. I should say after the episode ended last week, I did email you guys the gear from the Fire Giants because we just kind of skipped over it very quickly.

They had some cool, like, large gear. Plus one steaming half plate. Plus one arrow-catching heavy steel shield. Plus one flaming warhammer. Wrinkle protection plus one none of this stuff is really going to help you they had three fuse grenades each though this is each

and they both had two potions of cure serious so now you got four potions of cure serious we can each take a potion there you go somebody can take mine oh what a giver I mean Nestor or Baron Baron, you take yours. Take that extra one.

They're Cure Serious. Cure Serious, right? You said Troy? Yeah, Cure Serious. Yeah, Nesser can take it since he has no healing. That's true. Um, yeah, so still a lot of options. 98 gold pieces.

Around here. Um, and then, yeah, you do have the stairs that lead up to the room with the orcs and and now she gave you a lot of information but you don't know how much of it you can believe and how much she was just leading you astray she also told you that the top of the ladder is volstice's bedroom and the guys didn't really pick up on that but like you've been up there unless she's talking about something else. You know what I picked up on subconsciously and didn't realize it until after the whole scheme was revealed? I put it on you as dumb, but it was actually a deceptive move.

You've made that mistake before. I have. But it was basically like I thought you were saying she's so desperate for Volstis to be dead, just go into his bedroom and kill him. And you were sending us that way so desperate for volstice to be dead like just go into his bedroom and kill him and you were sending us that way and i was like that doesn't make any sense it like subconsciously i didn't really delve into it but at the time i was like why would like a troy npc is always going to be like uh you can't defeat him you can't defeat him like that's what everybody

says all along try as you might hope as you might like there's nothing you can do you know like he's too powerful he's too powerful and so they'd be like you should go up there now and get him something like ticked in my head and I was like that's weird but I never thought of it as a deceptive thing I just thought of it as like well there's no way we're doing that it's it's too much of a rush but yeah that's that's so funny because of course this dragon would want us to just go face volstice right now yeah and really i just wanted for you all to go towards the fireplace so i could corner you and catch you in the breath weapon right right um but uh you you guys had rolled decent self-sense motives and all of you but a couple of you and the two bluff checks that i rolled were both nat 20s and she

already had a crazy bluff on top of it so like it was there was a chance that you could catch like something seems a little off but like two nat 20s on the bluff it was just no way you're gonna get it so she gave you information but you don't know what you can trust is she a reliable source she said that these orcs upstairs uh volstice refers to that they think they're here treating to like become allies and volsus refers to them as trash right is that true you don't know uh she talked about the those slimes those oozes being part of some ecosystem is that true it seems like a weird thing to lie about but it's just hard to tell what is true and what isn't and what her real plan was and

no she's dead i think any good liar probably wraps truths into lies to make them more believable, even if they're as skilled as like a dragon in a role-playing game would be. So I'm sure there's, but where to divide that line is, is difficult to say that, or she didn't want us speaking to the oozes, but she knew they'd be our allies.

We should treat with them. We must join forces. She didn't want us speaking to the oozes, for she knew they'd be our allies against Rostis. We should treat with them. We must join forces. You and I. Yes. They are oozes of Iomedae. For the operator! For the operator!

I would like to point out that I did advocate her murder right from the get-go. So, I mean, if that's... It's hard to argue, Nestor. Perhaps that might lend my opinion a bit more weight in future. That's all I'm saying. It's up to you lot. Yes, but it takes one to know one. Don't want to say I told you so, but, et cetera, as they say. From now on, Nesta,

you'll pay more attention when you order murder. Hey, that's all they want. It's just wise, I think. Especially if anyone looks like they're part of the kitchen staff. Yeah, well, you know, you can't trust the kitchen staff, anyway, in my experience. I had a cousin

who worked in the kitchen, a very fancy place. He used the bouillabaisse for a toilet that's a lot of information I know, just throwing it out there just be careful, I'm just saying order the gazpacho if you go to the wilted arms, that's all I'm saying Esther

quiet down for a moment let's see if we can hear orcs, if they're just like merrymaking or if they are quiet all of a sudden. That is a 20. 34. 28. Listen real closely, even get to the edge of the stairs and listen up. You're just...

to the edge of the stairs and listen up. You're just... muffled sounds of talking. Okay. Doesn't sound like they're plotting. Yeah. I don't think we've alerted them, Sheriff. We could take them by surprise

or leave them to me at the moment. Well, I found it interesting that uh she or them if they had three heads and each one had a different personality i don't know we didn't get to talk much after the transformation seemed to kind of clean off the edges of details when i asked what was at the extreme east and west. I believe she mentioned things were boarded up on the east side.

Seems to see that there could be important stuff there. As to the order of operations, I'm unsure. There's so many possibilities now. I wonder, though, if we should dump this carcass outside the moon door or not. It is a... We're all having all of our conversations, including the urinated gazpacho, like, over this collapsed heap of a body.

At this point, Sheriff, I believe there is no point. There are so many bodies littered throughout this floor. All right. They would find out sooner or later. I'm with you, though. I say let's move quickly and clear the rest of this floor. All right. They would find out sooner or later. I'm with you, though. I say let's move quickly and clear the rest of this floor. Perhaps this despicable creature was hiding something of great value to us down here. Give you your options again, because there are many.

Let's go back to that room with the monument there. That's the center of gravity. There's a door leading south that's been unexplored that you think is probably going to eventually lead to the room with the oozes. If you were to continue due west from there, there's one door at the end of that long hallway. There's also a staircase in that room that you think the troll and the Earth Elemental came from that leads up. And then, of course, there's the staircase leading up to the main entrance that Metra looked at a few weeks ago on the Ethereal Plane. Back to that room with the center of gravity,

there's a hallway that continues west that you know breaks off at least once to the south and then where the room that you're in there are a pair of twin staircases winding upwards presumably towards this room and and that that hallway with the branching pass is actually to the east to the east yeah yep um can we take 20 on this room yeah let, let's search this room. Search it high and low, behind and beside everything. Yep. You give it a good search. The cabinets are full of crockery, tableware, tablecloths. But there's nothing

else of interest in here. Has no one ever seen Fight Club? Yeah. What did you say? That was the Booyah Base thing. I just don't remember that. No memory of that. What is it? Watch it again.

I knew it was from something. It's a good movie. I thought it was from Seinfeld. Booyah Base? Booyah Base. I don't know what that's... Joe's never eaten at Booyah Base. Remember, again, I refer you back to Exhibit A, the grilled cheese.

The grilled cheese incident. Where did I get grilled cheese? It's in the restaurant in Seattle. I don't often order grilled cheese. It must have been a particularly bad menu. Can we see the child's menu, please, for our friends? But I have a hot dog. It was the restaurant with the geoduck sashimi that I gave you a piece of.

It was your first venture into the land of sushi. I've been dying to explore, just for my OCD sense of symmetry, the southern hallway leading from the monument that leads back to the... Let us go, Sheriff! But that's going to be to the oozes, so I'd rather not... No, it's not necessarily. We don't have to open the door on the other side that leads to the oozes. We don't have to go through there and open it.

I just want to see what's on the other side of that. Yes. Who's to say, Metro, if there is not a room filled with magic weapons between here? I'll tell you what offends my sense of symmetry. The fact that we haven't seen past the edge of darkness down the eastern hallway. We'll turn right around at the door that seems like it leads to the oozes and check it out. All right, let's go to the door. Nesta, would you mind checking it for traps? Right, we'll do.

The door to the south? The door to the south. The door to the south. The door to the south. The door to the south. Metro to the south. The door to the south. The door to the south. Metro, please put yourself on the map. I will bring Lexington, the businesswoman. I need artwork of Sir Will writing a businesswoman in a battle.

I said last week Prince of Persia, like the original Prince of Persia when it was on the... The 2D mac one yeah that's what she looks like it's like she has very few details in her pixels yeah she's very it's just the first thing that it looks like alone in the dark or something it looks like one of those that's a good rotoscoped games uh nester that's 43 for traps against the door 43 for traps against the door. 43 for traps. And 36 regular. Okay, so 43 for traps. It does not appear to be trapped. Looks clean, mate.

36 regular. In here... Here's something on the other side of the door, but it's very indistinct. It's like... scraping. Could be... Like, scraping. Could be... It's not metal.

It's kind of like this... kind of sound. Could it be a broom? Some kind of... sort of brush. Yeah, well, small kitchen stuff. You know what to do. Sir Will

will detect evil now. It's a 60-foot cone, so he'll try to detect through the door, see if he detects any evil. Sir Will will detect evil on the other side of the door? Yeah. And how far does it extend? 60 feet. 60 feet? You do detect evil on the other side of the door? Yeah. And how far does it extend, did you say?

60 feet. 60 feet? You do detect evil. Okay, so presence or absence. Then a round later, if there's any super powerful auras more powerful than another? Um, no. And then third round, the number and position of auras? One.

About 20 feet behind the door. Okay. There is evil here, Sheriff. Beyond the door. I cannot sense its exact purpose, but it is there for sure. There is no doubt. I felt it as well, Will. You know what they say.

Lock and load. And no good deed should go unpunished. So let's punish this son of a... Opens the door. Baron. Stealthily. Stealthily opens the door. If we took 20, by the way, I think our protection from energy is gone.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. way i think our protection from energy is gone yeah okay yeah uh okay it was three and a half hours or so no it was it was but yeah divided into 10 minute chunks in between the four of us okay uh 33 to open stealthily okay and the gloves of silence this will determine whether or not something happens. My perception check against your stealth. 33, you said? Yeah. Oh, wait.

Can I roll, too? Oh, yeah. And you can take the better. We can use this combat beat right now. I will roll as well. I rolled a 17. I rolled a nat 17. 34.

Ooh, juice. I rolled a natural 3. Okay. So fuck you, Grant. I rolled a natural 19, dude. We are talking 35 town 35 i mean 36 i'm sorry 36 36 36 town yeah we should have let nester do it anyway but i have a uh i'll tell you right now let's lift the veil have a little fun here we're all friends i have a plus 26 to my perception

oh so it's a 50 50 i'm gonna take a table. Do you want to borrow my two-sided die? I do not. I don't trust it. I'm a neon green right in front of Matthew's face. Why? Wait, I don't approve this.

Here it comes. Cough in his mouth. You got to roll a 10 or higher, man. Eight. It's going to be an eight. What are you rolling on? Right on his computer.

Eight. Oh, come on. What is it? He crushed it. He rolled an 11. Oh, come on. What is it? Crushed it. He rolled an 11. Oh my God! Fuck's sake. You open

the door and as you do you see a gigantic nine-headed creature and simultaneously all nine of the heads go Ah! Everybody roll a will save. No!

I don't care. Is it a fear effect? It is a mind affecting effect. Oh, yeah, yeah. Spellish, spell-like ability? It is a... Does that answer your question? Yep.

More than adequately. I'll add a plus eight. Is it a charm effect? It is a supernatural ability. Okay. And Joe, you're working it over there. There's a lot of stuff going on here. It's the save DC's charisma based and it's mind affecting.

That's it. Mind affecting. No fear, no charm. Yeah, it doesn't say that. Okay. But you could discern that it is. We're not going to rule it that way. It's pretty clear. Usually they're like, this is a this.

This is a this. Sure. Yeah, no, no. For sure. What did everyone roll? everyone roll nest you seem pretty happy with your role uh natural 20 oh wow okay um love seeing that gcp logo turn up oh man that really does feel good uh what about that's norris Foundry. What about you, Matthew Capitacasa? National 19. Ooh!

What's the total? I have to ask. 35. 35. Okay. You're probably okay. What about you, Barron? 30.

30 for Barron. What about you, Joseph O'Brien? Sir Will got 28. What about Lexington? God damn it, with the Lexington ship? Lexington, the business lady. Leave him out of this. She's wearing some very sensible pumps.

Yes, she is. She's on her way to a very important meeting. Oh, Lexington. 21. Oh, God. Oh, no. You're all fine. Yeah! Lex!

Roll for initiative. Yeah! Roll for initiative! I'm gonna reveal the room here while you're doing your math, and that will also reveal the creature at the same time. Damn! your math and that will also reveal the creature at the same time ah

da da da damn oh ho ho ho ho he looks uh strong I was thinking something like a hydra but it's more like a giant who just has a bunch of heads stacked on his shoulders and they're all orc heads it's like it's like an orc

giant with a it's like a it's weird yeah and the giant. It's weird. Yeah. And the giant ate a bunch of orcs, and all their heads came out the top. And if you look, there's other heads behind it looking in the other direction. Let me guess. Immune to flanking. Hey!

Let me tell you a little bit about this room, and then we'll get into the nitty gritty. There's a large rectangular table with chairs to the south, a weapon rack on the north wall, an ornate side table in the northwest corner. The stench of decay badly covered by strong spices comes from the smaller

table, which bears a giant platter holding the cooked remains of many animals, humanoids, and other less identifiable creatures. There is a passageway leading to the west. There are two doors to the east, and there is a door exiting the room to the south, which, if you were to zoom out, is getting closer and closer to that area with the oozes.

So, a lot of different options here. Let's talk about initiative. Metra. Uh, 15. 15 for Metra. Sir Will. 16. 16 for Sir Will. Baron. Natural 20 for a 35. Yes!

Huge! Oh, God, Nest 35. Yes. 30. Huge. Oh, God, Nestor. 21. It's just, it's not even fair at a certain point. All right, Baron, you kick things off. It loaded up with this cacophonous roar, and it just couldn't do anything to any of you,

which is so, so very shitty. Baron, you're about, what, 30 feet away? 25, yep. Yeah, 25 feet. Show me what you got. Can I do a knowledge check to determine what type of creature this is? Yeah, go ahead and give me a knowledge local. Knowledge lokes.

Tone loke. Tone loke. Wild thing with a 24 on the roll. Oh, fucking cold medina it is not enough to uh really give you the information i will tell you it's some kind of troll that's all i see i will put on bane

troll sir will is gonna say uh just quickly he's gonna say barrett stay close i will sir will is it alright if I shimmy a little bit do whatever you want just stay relatively close as close as you are it's fine alright Bane troll

has been activated as a swift action will not be putting on a judgment this round if at all let's see what happens with the first of a full attack come on baby 16 on the die for her oh yeah a 33 oh yeah oh yeah The first full attack. Come on, baby. 16 on the die for her. Oh, yeah. A 33.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 31 points of damage on the first attack. Great opening shot. Second attack is a misfire. There. Thank God. Baron is going to take a five-foot step out of the line of fire of the doorway after that attack.

And because that was the second attack, there is no ability to use the move action to clear my gun, as was done when fighting the spiders from Mars in the attic. The spiders from Mars. Wow. Okay. That's not what I thought was going to happen. Let's see if it's going to really make a difference with this amazing team behind you, starting with the archer himself, Nestor Coyne.

Okay, Nestor is going to, whoom, quickly unsheath his bow, unsling his bow, knock two arrows, and fire Natty 15 on the first one with the mini shot and the studied target. And

let me see here. I'm sure that's a 40-something to hit. Yeah, that's... It is. It's 42. 42 to hit. Big hit right out of the gate. Okay.

74 points of damage. Jesus! That's a healthy shot. All right. Attack number two. Okay. Okay. That is... That's a 33 to hit. 33 hits. Okay. Okay, that is a 33 to hit.

33 hits. Okay. 39 points of damage. Oh, God. This is with sneak attack. This is not acted yet. Well, it did act in the surprise round. Oh.

All right. So he would take some of that sneak attack off. You can just ballpark it. 30 less points of damage. Okay. That's about right. Yeah, he got the jump on you by perceiving your failed stealth attack. Okay.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Third attack is a 90-15. That is a... It's going to be close, I think. That is a 37 to's going to be close, I think. That is a 37 to hit. Not as close as I thought. That is a hit. Okay.

Let me see. 32 points of damage. Okay. Okay. Fourth attack. Fourth attack. Amazing. 28. 28 misses. Okay. Just the fact that you have a fourth attack makes me attack. Amazing. 28. 28 misses.

Okay. Just the fact that you have a fourth attack makes me sick, though. Well, I have a fifth attack. That's the one that you should be surprised by. The Duke fourth attack. Another miss. Another miss. Good lord.

Still, even with Baron only getting off one shot and Nestor hitting with three, this guy is already pretty effed up. But he's got a lot of heads. Let's see if he can outsmart you. It's Sir Will's turn. Sir Will's going to say, sorry, Sheriff, change of plans. I'll turn it so you can hit it in the back.

And he's going to, no huge for Highbury call here. He's just going to like center it on the character knowing that it's evil from the aura that it's giving off. He's going to smite evil and then he is going to tilt at it. So he's

going to do a full ride by attack passing by the creature and try to graze it with his lance as he goes by and just skewer it. A little Don Quixote action. Exactly. So the full move of Lexington is going to finish his move here,

which is about 20 feet beyond the creature. To the east. Yeah, charges in past the creature's right side and tilts with a smite evil to try to hit it. So go. That is to try to hit it. So, go. That is a 34 to hit. 34 hits. Yes.

Yes. Wait a minute. Turn it. Okay. Let me just get this. And that is 70 points of damage. As he rides by. And that is 70 points of damage. As he rides by.

I'll tell you, he's in very bad shape, Metro. Really? Yeah, and you get to go before he does. Oh, man. He's pretty slow. I rolled so bad. I didn't think I was going to get to go before he did. Yeah, yeah. Well, you do.

All right, well. I feel bad for Troy right now. Did you hear his voice? It sounds so bad. I wanted one fail will save. It really changed the combat. How badly? But the fact you guys just leveled up too. But also 21 seemed like that should be a fail. The DC's pretty low. Is it just a horrible

thing? It was a low DC. How bad does he look? He looks pretty bad. You got Death Watch? Too bad it's not my turn. Too bad it's not Nestor's turn. All right. You know what? Let's have a little fun.

Oh, boy. Let's use some spell slots. Let's use a spell slot. I'll give you... You know what, Troy? I'll use a spell slot for you. All right. Remember, he's probably got regeneration, so...

Yes. And I have an acid splash ready with his name on it. Okay. If he goes down uh but i'll do a little chain lightning oh sheepers so roll reflex save god uh oh uh 25 okay you pass i'm gonna do 16 16 d6 and you'll take and you'll take half of that. Okay. Six D6. Do you need some D6s?

I'm using the interweb to do it. Yeah, Google. Oh, I see them all. Oh, that's pretty cool. Fun, isn't it? Yeah. So I rolled 70, so you'll take 35 points of electricity damage. 35 points of electricity damage.

Okay. He's still up. Okay. All right. He's still up. Okay. All right. He's still up. And then, as Skid assumed, he will begin to regenerate on his turn. And he has 15 feet of reach, which is exactly where Sir Will is. Oh, Sir Willamette.

So. Raise your shield, Sophia! I'm going to get. Protect me now. Maybe one round to do something cool against you. Uh, oh god, your AC has to be so huge. Alright, he goes out to, um, bite

you with one of his nine heads. Whoa! Just lunges forward towards you. 29 to hit? Not enough. Not enough. Hits the armor. Bang!

And he stays seated on Lexington. Hold steady, boy! He cracks his teeth on your armor. We're back in the fight now, Lexington. Here comes a claw. Nope. 23. Swings it aside. The claw hits the stone floor.

And another one comes in. It's one of these claws that's coming in to, like, grab you towards one of his heads. No! I hate being grappled! Yes! It's a win of a ten! Yes! So he just...

And misses with all three attacks. Oh, and now his back is to everybody? Jeepers. Well, yes, four of his heads are still facing the other way. Flavor back. Flavor back. Baby got flavor back. It's top of the next round.

It's Baron's turn. Baron, you step to the side to avoid any possible attacks from this creature. What do you want to do now? It's time for Flavor Flav! Based off of where I'm drawing on the map, you tell me, Troy, do I have line of sight on him right now? No. I'm going to say no.

I will five foot step then to where I was standing directly through the doorway, and I will cast Acid Splash on him. Okay. All right. A little Acid Splash. Is that range touch or automatic? That is, I believe it's range touch.

Range touch. Don't roll a natty one. Don't i believe it's range touch don't roll a 91 that will be a 25 yep that hits uh 1d3 worth of acid damage done to him two points of acid that'll stop the regeneration for one round meaning he is available to be perma killed you uh you look through and you see Sir Will on the other side of the room, Lexington, like, rearing up, and he's just looking across. He's like,

Finish him, Nestor! Yeah. Well, it is Nestor's turn. Yes. I'm going to do a quick blood reader. You don't want to waste more arrows than you need. I know that I could do it all the time. I choose, I do it very rarely, because I know Troy hates it. I can do it all the time. I choose.

I do it very rarely because I know Troy hates it. I appreciate it. You're very judicious with it. And I've already said it won't work on the Storm Tyrant. So I will tell you he has nine hit points left. Okay. All right. And I am going to do a quick Knowledge Local as well and see if I can figure out what this guy is.
