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. Last week on the Glass Cannon Podcast. The end of the conversation is Sir Will's confusion effects are not suppressed. He is permanently insane and we have no ability to change that.

As the party spirit plummeted along with the paladin's broken mind. This horrible, incorporeal demon creature. Big, black, shadowy wings, sort of a body that disappears into the ground, fangs. The naga summoned help from the shadows. That is 21 points of regular damage. And the shadow demon is banished. Wow! Maybe! Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom! That is 21 points of regular damage. And the shadow demon is banished. Wow! And though the slayer's aim was true...

She slithers up out of the basket. Her head pops up and she's like, You are strong, but I am stronger! The snake would have the last word. I am either going to do one of two things. I'm either going to cast a spell that removes her from the combat. The adventure

continues. Or I'm going to step forward and use my final prismatic spray on all of you, thereby most likely sealing her death, unless you all fail. No. Hello, welcome back to the Glass Cannon Podcast. What episode is this, Joe?

Three. Three. Episode three. One. 3.11. Is that right? Yeah. Wasn't that a. Is that right? Yeah. Wasn't that a band?

It was a band. I think they're still a band. Know that we have always been down, down. If you ever had any time to you, then just let me do it now, now, now, now. Isn't 311 Amber is the Color of Your Energy? Amber is the color of your energy. Whoa. Whoa.

Am I wrong about that? You're correct. I think you're right. That is correct. Amber and Down were their two biggest hits, and 311 was the code for disorderly conduct in the neighborhood they were from used by the police. The Omaha, Nebraska police? That sounds right. I don't remember

that part. Is that where they're from? Apparently. Okay. Wow. Band's most recent studio album is 2019's voyager you are incorrect grad what was the band's name originates from the police code for indecent exposure in omaha after the original guitarist of the band was arrested for streaking streaking is the reason for your recent arrest. Whoa.

I've never heard of any of those songs that you're singing. What? Really? You never heard of them? Jammed with 311? Nope. Never heard of them. It was out when I was in high school.

I feel like I couldn't walk into any retail establishment without hearing that song yeah no i don't i don't know that i knew it was the name of a band um but i didn't know any of those tunes i thought i would one of the early earliest instances of integrated rock and rapping in a group they predated lincoln park by some extent there was an artificial mashup of that between well not artificial but run dmc and uh aerosmiths were not like a band together when walk this way come out but they did a lot of rapping and singing those 311 fellas think you know you think you know it all about music which is me yeah and i didn't know that no bigger music expert that's right music theory is more of my jam oh come, you're a Circle of Fifths guy? Oh, come original.

I haven't thought about come original. Well, poopy music aside, how's everybody doing on this lovely whatever day of the week it is? I've lost track of the days. Yep. Didn't take long into this year for me to lose track of all time. For everything to go off the rails. Well, I'm excited because we are on the edge of a little snowstorm. Of glory.

Of glory. We're just going to sing this whole episode. On the edge of a little snowstorm. Yeah, that'll be fun. You can take the kitties out. You guys have a sled ready to go. All polished up. Got a brand new one from his great grandma from L.L. Bean.

This beautiful old-fashioned sled. With the steer? I don't know if it has the steer in it. Does it have wood sides? Yeah, I had one of those. Those are beautiful. So hopefully we can put Archer on there and slide Dash up and have Archer not fire Dash into a snowbank.

Just because he thinks it's funny. But yeah, we'll be excited. Snowman, the whole nine. The whole nine. What about you? You big snow guy? Love the snow. Yeah?

Except the shoveling, which is awful. Gotta get the... Gotta get the snow blower. You know, I haven't gotten it yet, and I moved in in August, and I was like, ah, I got plenty of time. Yeah, here we are. And now here we are.

January, six inches coming tomorrow. I don't have anything. Here, I'll mention in passing to my dad, and he'll drive on over. He got himself a snowblower as soon as I moved out of the house and didn't have to shovel anymore. And he loves that thing. He does the whole block. He has so much fun. He's just like, hey, you need some snowblowing?

It is a lot of fun. Yeah, I kind of want to go. I have not talked. Because I have to do the sidewalk now, too. Matthew, I've got a sidewalk. Did I tell you? Yeah. Come on, I'll give you a ticket. Speaking of which, so the home inspector comes when I get in the house inspected. the sidewalk now too i've got matthew i've got a sidewalk did i tell you yeah yeah come on give

you a ticket speaking of which the so the home inspector comes when i get in the house inspected he's outside at the sidewalk he starts at the sidewalk and he's just taking notes and he's just like you've got me you got major problems here like what are you talking about he's like that's a half an inch gap right there between those two slats sidewalk. Somebody trips on that walking by hurts themselves. $2 million. You're done. You're out of business.

And I'm just like, this home inspector sounds like the library cop. I was just like, Oh my God. And so he got me so scared. And so we put into our contract with the homeowners, like we have to get that sidewalk fixed before we move in. And the lawyer just like crossed it out. And there wasn't even a comment.

It was just like, no. And then my parents, who are like super hyper sensitive about everything, you know, are like, careful. Everybody's trying to scam me. You know, they were just like, that's the sidewalk. Don't worry about it. No, I haven't,

but I am going to have to shovel that. I'm realizing. I'm going to come visit your new house and I'm going to look for that. I'm going to wipe out. I'm going to sue you for all your worth. My neck, my back,

my neck and my back. None of these pants are pre-existing conditions. You know, because I provided you a letter Decent about all my bodily ailments Before I arrived Grant, you a snowboarder or a skier? I've only done skiing

And I only did it as a young, young lad I think I was like six or five When I hit the slopes with my dad And there are adorable pictures of me But I never picked it up as a grown up Though I'd like to Custom sized skis or would you just chop down i just chopped down trees and slide on down a couple saplings let's go

that's how paul bunyan did it and that's how i do it it's good enough for paul bunyan i never skied i only snowboarded and uh i was never you didn't know 311 yeah no that is such a weird thing that is so bizarre do you remember that you were snowboarding in the 90... You didn't know 311? Yeah, no. That is such a weird thing. That is so bizarre. Do you remember that you were snowboarding in the 90s and didn't know 311? No, I was listening to Metallica at that time. I was like, that was great snowboarding music. That's good snowboarding music. What year was this?

I'm dating myself, but early 90s. 77? It was about 72. Wow, you were really an innovator. You brought your surfboard over from Palm Beach. It was like right when did Metallica Black come out? That was 88. Oh, Black.

91. Yeah, so it was right around 91. That's four years before 311 released down. That's how I measure time. Before and after down. 311. BD. I was listening.

Black. Skid, I imagine you're a huge snowboarder uh no i i've told the story my classmate jeremy in third grade he fell off a a ski lift oh and missed a year of school and his father used to drag him in like a red rider wagon twice a year to like so he could gawk at him. And he was in this half body cast. Is that why? I guess. I don't know what else he was there for because he would literally just drag him down the street. Let's all go say hi to Jeremy.

And he'd be sitting there moaning in his half body cast in this wagon. So it's just like even though I grew up in Colorado Colorado, I never really wanted to ski because of that. However, my sister Delia that you all met in D.C. is a snowboarding instructor. She's a beast. Yes. Former eighth runner-up to Miss New Mexico. Delia, Marr. You live

in the land of snowboarding skiing. I would love to get back into it. Right when my wife and I first started dating, we went and took one of our first trips up to Lake Placid. We went to Whiteface Mountain. Ski the face. Highest vertical drop in the Northeast. And we went.

She skied. I snowboarded. And it's such a good time. But man, think about snowboarding. Unless you're Sean, whatever his name is. Whiteface. Just insert. Sean White.

I was going to say, just insert last name. Sean Johnson. Sean. Sean the snowboarder. Sean the the snowboarder john's plenty of them i'll edit this so it sounds like i remember his name white like why did he think sean white's name was so funny you fall all the time and uh like because i'll be trying to just do a sweet car and it's like oh and wipe out with my momentum but it is fun i'd like to do it once the kids are ready to get on skis.

Just to clarify, you're saying, unless you are a professional snowboarder, you just fall all the time. This is based on your experience. It is hard to go from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, unless you're just shushing without taking a couple tumbles.

Maybe you want to hit a mogul. So you're like jumping. I like to hit a mogul and see what happens. Not anymore, dude. Do you remember when i threw myself into those boxes not only a couple years that's how i snowboard like let's see what happens my snowboard will come unlatched i did a jump why so i skied for a while and i did a jump once that looked totally reasonable to me and when i was in the air i was probably three feet off the ground or something and when i was in the air i was like yeah i was in the air and instantaneously i was like i've made a horrific mistake and i hit the

ground so fast and so hard i just had no idea how much momentum it would carry and i went i mean my skis flew i mean everything flew and i couldn't believe i wasn't injured i was like looking around i cannot believe that i just got away with that but i was like i'm not jumping anymore i'm not made for jumping did you guys see the footage i think it was last winter of alvin kamara getting on a snowboard for the first time no immediately amazing of course his yeah his professional athleticism and amazing sense of balance just made him look awesome he's going really gravity but like all the saints fans were like get off that snowboard don't hire yourself see what's nice and like plaza and the white face one you go halfway down the mountain there's like a bar and lodge and you go in there have a

couple and then tumble down the rest of the mountain. That's the one thing that sounds awesome to me. I would love the lodge. Lodge life sounds great. Oh, lodge life. The lap race ski? Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. To me, there's just nothing. It's the best part. Yeah. And I didn't even really ski when I was over 21. So I really just, once I was over 21, it was just I would be at a lodge. Other people would be skiing or whatever. Sitting around. Because I had torn my ACL at that point. So it was like, was over 21 it was just i would be at a lodge other people would be skiing or whatever sitting around because i had torn my acl at that point so it's like this is a bad idea

sitting around there with like a roaring fire yeah on like wood chairs and everything you look out the window and people are skiing and that's so it's the best it is i used to hang out we used to go up to like dale and aspen and stuff and i would just hang out while other people skied that was great this is cutting into matthew's snow talk time so we'll probably just cut it for time but we should go on a retreat oh yeah a snow lodge we need a company retreat yes we need to take a step back and just have a nice retreat as long as you old men don't have to get on skis or snowboards and hurt yourselves i am down why you don't want to hurt ourselves or you just don't want to feel like you're responsible neither i just don't want you to hurt yourself.

Oh. I don't think I would hurt myself if I got on an old green slope. I tried to do that somersault. Oh, I'm sorry. Hang on. Your ACL is calling me. I tried to do a somersault the other day, and it hurt a lot. And I was shocked at how much a somersault hurt.

Try one right now. You'll be surprised. Did you achieve full summer salt? I did. And I was like, why did that hurt so much? Summer salt used to be so easy. Like roller coasters. When's the last time

you've been on a roller coaster? Oh, I went on one. Recently? Oh, wait. No, it doesn't count. It was Sesame Place. Oh, God. And that hurt.

So I guess this is really bad then. It wasn't a real grown-up roller coaster yeah i was on space mountain oh how was that did you get sick i hate it i hate space mountain and i like roller coasters the only reason i hate space mountain and i forgot this it's like we were getting in line it's just like i forgot that i had this experience the first time but i feel like i'm too big for the car so every time we turn on it we go around a curve i feel like I'm too big for the car. So every time we go around a curve, I feel like I'm – I literally feel like I'm going to be thrown clear. So I'm trying to hold myself in the car the entire time, and I've hated nothing more in my life.

It was the absolute worst. And the minute the ride started, I was like, oh, right. I hate this. And we went on the Matterhorn. The other one is like that was great Or you know Thunder Mountain I love that And they have a properly sized car

Yeah like I can sit there and feel like I'm not going to fly out Into darkness Matthew you have 28 seconds Skiing, snowboarding, roller coasters, anything? I was in Aspen And we're out of time Last week Aspen? I went to Aspen for a play. And we're out of time. All right. Last week. Aspen?

I went to Aspen for a play, and they were doing a play of mine, and I was being... They were doing a play of mine. It was like a festival. Is that Steve Martin over there? Yes, Steve Martin is me. I was being housed by this very nice couple. Picasso with the no fun Agile? Go on.

No, you continue. Tell us of your chalet adventure. And how is Samuel French? So he resides in Aspen, right? I was staying with this very, very nice couple. And obviously, they live there year-round. So they were skiing. And they were asking me if I'd ever been skiing before.

I had never in my life been skiing before. Because, I don't know, all you bougie people. Skiing wasn't a thing we did when I was growing up. It's funny, too, because it's not that far from here. Aspen? No. I'm saying legit, reasonable skiing. It's not like West Coast. I always felt it was the rich kids from here. Aspen? No, I'm saying like legit, reasonable skiing. It's not like West Coast.

I always felt it was the rich kids, though. I remember. I had like a toy snowboard. We went to the hill and did it, and then when I got like a paper route, I bought a snowboard when I was like an older teenager. But I always thought the kids at school that came with the little ski lift tags,

I was like, your parents must make so much money. Yeah, that was a real thing. That's on Seinfeld, too. George gets the lift tag he ever takes it up yeah well anyway so he wanted to take me skiing and i and i was curious because i'd never done it and he was like you went on a cross country or downhill and i was like i think i'll kill myself on downhill so let's just do the cross country thinking that when you put planks of wood beneath your feet like i was like i've had experience standing up before like this shouldn't be that bad i fell so many times trying to cross-country ski it wasn't even funny eventually you'd think it would give you more balance more balance it's a much much

larger foot it's just it's it's not fun it's like hey you want to go work in a mine for a couple of hours it's just it's just there's nothing exhilarating or fun about it it's just really fucking hard work and and the gear seems expensive yeah yeah i was i was amazed i was like i can stand up on skis right like that was that's a skill i probably don't have to learn and yet and yet and yet here right around this time last year one calendar year ago your boy grant burger was looking at videos of ski lifts during the summertime and his plan was to take his mountain bike up the ski lift and ride it down just a month later he broke his goddamn shoulder oh yeah that's what they do that's and it's really

cool if you watch just watch a youtube video that's what i ended up doing anyway what i will do until i die um it's really cool to see guys go down those trails and that's cool they're beautiful with like the greenery it is nice riding the ski lifts in colorado in the summer oh i bet and yeah it's a great view and then worst part of the ski lift it just takes forever yeah just get me to the top it's pretty you don't like just watching the i don't i'm not a very patient person you'd prefer a teleporter? Yeah. A teleporter would be great. Or something like a fast lift. So you said this was a rich kid's sport. Right.

The teleporter. Can I pay extra for the fast ski lift? Why don't you bring a flask? Oh, yeah. I never thought of that. When you go to the Empire State Building to the top, to the observation deck, do you just get right back on the elevator? No, I've never been up there.

Really? You live in New York. 100 years. You never see the Empire State. CN Tower? No. No. Space Natal? No the elevator. No, I've never been up there. Really? You live in New York. A hundred years. You never see the Empire State. CN Tower? No. No. Space Needle?

No. No. No. I've seen the Space Needle from a distance. Not a big tower guy, I guess. I've been up the Eiffel Tower. You worry about those fighters. You've been up the Eiffel Tower?

I worry about the tower. You worry about those fighters. How long did you stay? I worry about that tower. That's good. That's as good a segue as we're going to have as any. This is going to be a very interesting episode because... This is a very interesting situation.

Yes, yes. Best of the best. Phenomenal. I didn't think about tactics at all until we sat down to get ready to play. I was like, oh, yeah, I've got to figure out what I want to do here. I just made that decision last week and I was like, you know what? Should I, should I do it? And then on the episode, I'm like, I don't know what I want to do.

I thought you were going to take the time to actually think about it. Yeah, no, I had other stuff going on. I was snowboarding. Sorry. Sorry to drag you away from other important things I really wanted to Flagship show over here I got busy

It's a very busy time of year We all understand Thinking about Christmas decorations is exhausting Oh yeah But I sat down and I was like Oh yeah this fight And I was like what do I want to do here I don't know what I want to do here i don't know

what i want to do i only go back to the tactics of the of the naga as written in the book because sometimes i like to go by the tactics when i'm feeling indecisive i look at what the author thinks i should do and then it dawned on me what i want to do and i'm going to do it and it is going to be a very interesting episode because everything's about to happen very quickly. And it could result in the end of one of your lives. Because I'm going to lift the veil once again. Oh, no. And use my final prismatic spray.

It's a habitual veil lifter. Now, look at this right here. Ah! Put it on another layer, please. Put it on another layer. It's meaningless. I can't see where we are. How about the map layer?

Oh, there you go. Oh, Nestor gets away, and so does Metra. Wow. No, Metra's in it. Yeah, Metra's in it. I was just getting Troy all fired up. Yeah, Nestor's toes are in it, which is not enough. However, Sir Willem and Caswell.

But you can just turn it so that Nestor and Metro are in it. Yeah, you could rotate it and get us all. I believe you're correct. You could, yeah. Remember that skid that Joe was the one that suggested I turn it. Grant agreed. I don't know how to snowboard. Shockingly quickly.

I don't know how to snowboard at all. I don't know how to snowboard. Shockingly quickly. I don't know how to snowboard at all. I don't know how to snowboard. I, Grant, agreed at a rate that I found alarming. I could not have done it because I do not know any winter sports. Oh, no. Look. See, as I rotate it. Oh, that rotated too far.

But basically, as I was doing it in, you guys can't see it rotating right until I release. Correct. Yeah. So, like, the second that Nestor gets in it metro's out oh interesting a faustian bargain we'll just keep but you know what you're doing it wrong what do you mean i'm doing it wrong just keep turning it's obvious that they could both be in it no because metro is is on the edge of it it's never gonna right edge of it it's never gonna get back to it and i tried the other one and uh it didn't catch and is it just a corner of when your creature is large like that is it just a corner of a square that it is in inhabiting uh well i just i just stopped turning it i can keep

turning it to get more of nester but the point is i metrics out of it but where your mirror imaged i don't want to take the risk of ruining a ray can you align it by the way can you align it to the actual thing because i think the squares in your little cone are smaller than the squares on roll 20 i did align it before i would venture to yeah didn't we already have this conversation i would say that the ray just hits metro there's no the mirror image is not targeted by the text of the spell i think it does hit me all right so we gotta decide do i want to hit nester oh wait wait a minute here yeah it just threw that cone out of whack here and oh no see look at nester right oh it's not moving but nester is like always snapping the grid is that why you can't get us all in it i think it's because oh no oh no the map is moving

quit the game all right right there see look turning right there it just scrapes by nestor's square see i mean there's so much to the right of metra i really don't understand what you're doing but it's all right no no because like to get when he swings it over in my direction, once it does hit me, Metra is on the outer edge of it. Okay. Gotcha. On the further. Yeah, here.

I'm going to swing it to right. I like this orientation where neither Nestor nor Metra is in the cone. Look at it right there. That's the first time I could argue that Nestor's in it. And look, Metra's completely out. Yeah. You see that? Yeah. Okay. So see that? Yeah.

Okay. So here's the decision. So who are you leaving out? Who am I leaving out? Well, I'm not going to leave that up to me. Who are you going to leave it up to? Leave it up to the fans. Why don't you read the Naga tactics again, you coward? Alright, if there is a sorcerer who just won't die,

always include her in the blast. Sorcerer! Sorcerer who just won't die. Always include her in the blast. Sorcerer! Sorcerer! You have been very lucky with this spray. I've been purposely saying it's shitty, but really, you guys have just been rolling well. The bad part of this is very, very bad, as evidenced by Sir Will and the Vrock. May he live long in our memory.

One, two, three, Nestor's included. sir will and the brock uh may he live long in our memory uh one two three nesters included four five six metros included oh let's go nester i'm pulling for nester come on come on nester because you're hoping for a reflex save yeah yeah no i'm hoping for a re-roll re-roll why we roll because nester is under the effects of a beacon of luck oh you're right if you remember Metra is not 1, 2, 3 Nestor 4, 5, 6

I'll roll it right in front of the table here come on Nestor 1, 2, 3 Nestor 4, 5, 6 Metra is included 2 Nestor yeah alright

this is gonna be good this is gonna be good Nestor Sir Will! All right. This is going to be good. This is going to be good. Nestor, Sir Will, Lexington, and Baron. Let's spray!

Spray! All right. So we've seen all the Ray colors so far, right? Except for the green that you keep constantly. Well, the green did come out and somebody saved on it. I think it was Sir Will that saved on it.

Yeah, the green. The green's the worst. But I mean, blue's very bad too. As is blue... Let's just see what happens. Struck by two rays. Could be very bad.

That's what happened to Metro. Yeah. All right, here we go. First one is coming at Nestor. Guys, remember, it's just a game. Oh.

Okay. First one's coming at Nestor and it's an indigo ray. The same one that hit Sir Will. Oh, God. Okay. First one's coming at Nestor, and it's an indigo ray, the same one that hit Sir Will. Oh, no. So he gets to roll two saves, or he re-rolls a fail? No, he gets to roll twice and take the better result. If you choose to do it here. I think I will.

This is going to be a Will save. What is that you got in your hand there, buddy? Well, I've received in the post today we got a a dice cup that looks sort of like a tower a crenellated tower that's nice 3d printed i it didn't come with a note but the label said somewhere in new york so thank you whoever sent this you're welcome it's for me i have oh thanks troy i have a special die that i never used that some other fan gave me a couple years ago. Very, very nice. Came in its own little box.

Good time to use it. All right. So doing that and my regular Norse Foundry die. Do you remember this back in the day? The original Glass Cannon podcast episodes, you always used a die, right? Always. You always had a cup. Yeah.

Oh, I did. You were always shaking. Oh, you're right. That's when we got away From that habit That's when we had minis These are will saves Okay will saves

It's like someone just Mailed Skid a pack of cigarettes I just called Skid Skill by the way I said these are Will saves skill That happens a lot Skill squid

My grand My grandparents Called me skill a few times That's fine Okay so The Norris Foundry As one might expect Rolled a natural five So brutal a few times. That's fine. Okay, so the Norse Foundry, as one might expect, rolled a natural 5.

So brutal. The Mystery Die rolled a natural 17. Yes! For a 27 total. Wow, so you just barely passed. Oh, man. So this was not a good ray. You want an insane nester in your

party? That was the worst possible ray, I think, for Nestor. Oh, my God. What if two insane characters procked each other's hostility and they just had to kill each other until they were dead? Oh, wow. Post-combat, whatever happens, just the fact that you're going to have to find a way to deal with Sir Will. Now Baron and Metro have to deal with a crazy Nestor.

This is a bad spell. I love that you used the word procced. That's amazing. Thank you. Well, this proc is coming at... I don't know what it means. Yeah. Sir...

You know what? Let's put this one at Sir Will, and then the next one will be at Lexington. Come on. Sir Will. Fortitude save. Get out of here. The good news is it is a fortitude save.

It's the green ray? No. It's the blue ray. Oh, I love that. The one that hit... Vrak? No, the one that hit Lexington when he started to feel

really rigid underneath. Oh, the John's stone. Flesh to John. Oh, God. It's an 18 plus Blu-ray Alright, give me a Fortitude save, Sir Will Okay I appreciate that

Now here's the thing, Joe A natural one is an automatic fail I'm going to guarantee You are the worst I'm going to guarantee that the only way he can fail is a natural one Are you rolling twice? You are the worst I don't going to guarantee that the only way he can fail is a natural one. Are you rolling twice? You are the worst. I don't think I can roll twice. Why not? You shot off your

luck load. Shoot out your luck load! In a 30 foot radius your luck load covers your ally. It's everywhere! It's a dream! Shoot out your luck load. Shoot out your luck, bud. Shoot out your luck, bud.

Just don't roll a natural one, and you're fine, Joe. You've got to check to see if you're right. I've got to check beforehand because Grant's right. It Grant's right. So I'll read it to you, and you just, Troy, you make the ruling. Listen about this man's luck. You send out a burst of luck in a 30-foot radius centered around you. While the luck is in effect, which is one minute per level, you gain

a plus two sacred bonus on all saving throws. As an immediate action before a saving throw is made, allies within the area can choose to benefit from this luck, rolling twice for the saving throw and taking the better result. I take it that you get the plus two and your allies get the bit of luck.

Yeah, the only interpretation is if you say in all of Pathfinder, whenever it says allies, it also means you, then it could, but... Lexington should count as an ally. Yeah. Oh, no, Lexington will definitely roll 20. Yeah, Lexington rolled 20. I'm going to roll once because I think that that's fair.

Dude, just don't roll a natural one. And you'll be fine. Natural 20. A complete other way. And this is my Norse foundry. I'll have you know. Rose quartz. Okay.

From my good buddy, Eric. Thank you. Thanks, Eric. All right. All right. This next one is coming at Lexington, who we now know will have a bit of luck. Shades of old Galabras. Here we go. Okay. Not too bad. Oh, no. we'll have a bit of luck. Shades of old Galabras. Here we go.

Okay, not too bad. Oh, no, that is bad. Thought that was a one. It is instead of seven. Oh, no. Oh, this is very bad. But maybe not for you, where you could just call him. That's what I was literally looking back at.

If he's sent to another plane, can you call him back from that plane? Well, let's see if he fails the will save. How's the will save an old Lexi? Oh, dear. Excuse me, Violet Ray. It's so low that he can't pass it. Oh, my God. Well, you're natural funny. I believe so.

I believe it's so low he can't pass it. And what is your ability to call him back? Come on, Troy You've decimated poor Lexington's will To the point where he can't pass this thing If you weren't crazy before, you will be After Lexington is gone forever

If you had to ride under Joe for that many months and years You'd have a broken will as well, Matthew Oh, man Well, let's see if he fails it, because it doesn't say anything in the summon mount ability about it being, you have to be on the same plane. It doesn't take into account a seven

being rolled on this high level spell in its description. Oh, that's interesting. You can, uh... Oh, that's cool. That's really interesting. Um, well, let's see if he interesting. That's cool. That's really interesting. Well, let's see if he fails. Let's see if he is going to fail, and then you'll have some time to look up whether or not you can try and forge your way into having this guy come out.

He's going to fail. All right. I need a great roll here. You have two rolls. Oh, my gosh. Oh, this is horrible. Two. All right.

Two d20s on this, and it's a will save. Let me see that will save roll. What is the power to call your wolf called? It's called summon horrible. Two. All right. Two D20s on this. Let me see that. We'll save Rob. What is the power to call your wolf called? It's called Summon Mount. Okay. It comes under the, you know, the Divine Bond Mount part of the paladin, the vanilla paladin. Okay.

Here we go. Oh, come on. Buddy. Well, I rolled a six. A five, rather. And a natural 16. Which is going to result in a 21. So as the violet ray hits poor Lexington,

who is bleeding out from the many blunt punches from his master, Lexington winks out of existence. Oh, my God. Will falls to the ground, confused. What is happening? Takes one point of damage. Shut up. What is happening?

Takes one point of damage. Shut up. And the final ray is going at your fearless leader, Baron. Do we have a fearless leader? He's got fear. You're right. Your fearful leader. Who?

Your fearful leader. Your cowardly leader. Fear is an evolutionary advantage, which has kept us alive. It's the reason we exist, Matthew. We want a little bit of fear. Not for nothing. Well, I don't even jinx it. Let's just see what happens. Those were all pretty bad.

Here we go. Same one. Oh, no. Okay. We'll save. Time to roll twice. Another violet. Oh, you got that bone?

That roll twice bone? Oh, I got that roll twice bone. This is a spell also. And it is a spell, I believe. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. A nine and a natty 19. Oh, there we go. Total?

Oh, my God. You got a strong will. 39. You are not sent to another plane. you are not sent to another plane at that moment the naga smiles and then as a quickened spell

casts invisibility and disappears I can see her you can see her that's right Baron has seen invisibility I do and I had cast it on myself I can see her. You can see her. That's right. So can Bear Bear. Baron has see invisibility? I do, and I had cast it on myself before this battle.

So the goal! Yes! Very good. Okay. Well, then I will show you what your friends cannot see. All right. I'm alive. I forgot why I took see invisibility, because choosing any given spell is very difficult as

an inquisitor because you're stuck with them was because of the dragon that nearly no i think i had it before then yeah it's it's a solid choice yeah it's it can be a real lifesaver it was because of the lurker and light that blinded me because it was invisible and we didn't have glitter dust and I was like we couldn't kill it for a long time and it had all those shots to get the will saves against us because it could vanish and then it would blink back in and I remember being

traumatized by that. You see her, Metra and Baron where you're the only ones who can see this, you see her zip towards the direction of the stairs leading up. Oh, okay. It's like, is she moving magically or is she just slithering? Slithering.

Slithering. And it is now Sir Will's turn. Sir Will, you're lying on the ground. I would say you probably have strong enough reflexes even in your insane state to have landed on your feet.

That's mighty kind of you, Troy. He's... Oh, man. Now, this creature attacked him. Oh, yes, I'm not going to roll. This creature attacked him. And... But he can't see the creature.

God, this is so frustrating. And he's so used to being on a mount, so he doesn't know what to do. He's looking around completely confused, and he's like, what? I would assume Metra and Warbaron share the fact that she's getting away, and where she is. And where she is, and he just turns to you

and looks you in the eye, and is like, Across the foreign sea will the horse's mane lie, whence I stab through the fruit of thine foot. He's just like babbling incoherently. I don't know. I told you

to pull out the Megan's Wank. That was great. That's good. That was better than James Joyce. Bottle cap. There you go. We're gonna fucking need it. Bottle cap of the year. I'll give you one of these you go. We're going to fucking need it. Bottle cap in here. I'll give you one of these Twitch badges. We don't have our own supply here. You get a Twitch badge.

Bottle cap. This is our Twitch partner things. You can use this for a plus whatever to your whatever. Why don't you do that closer to the mic? You can just... Good. All right. Round 11. that closer to the mic you can just good all right round 11 shit's about to change here nester what do you do nester man brush with death there nester all right so they called out where was haste cast or not? Yes. You did cast haste. Okay. So Nestor

is not going to be able to make an attack yet, but I think he is going... Oh, that tricky, that wall of force is still hanging out there. Yeah. The wall of force is still there. So he's going to, at hasted speed, run along the edge of the wall of force

across the western side of the room and like tightrope across like jump up and tightrope across the rim of the fountain in the middle of the room and make his way over to the far where the far right wicker basket was and and that's it. Okay. Does that reveal the stairs to him? It does. Remove. I forgot you guys could still see her. So she's invisible to Nestor, but you see

Nestor, the stairs just wind up. Okay. Upwards, similar, a shorter staircase here leading up to the next level. And now it is Metra's turn. Okay, Metra at hasted speed. Big turn.

Will dash down around to the stairs and look up. Do I see the Naga? Let me just see how you got past that pit. You just slid by there, yeah? Yeah, okay. You got hasted speed, so even if you had to slow down to do that that's fine uh you see the naga and the naga is uh you have to imagine this in terms of three dimensions here the naga is uh approximately i don't want to say there that doesn't help our listeners 30 feet away from you great um okay first things first. Let's do a little chain lightning.

There you go. Ooh, a little chain lightning. Reflex save. Okay. Reflex save. That is targeted, right? It is not. I believe it is targeted. I don't think it is. There's no to hit roll.

Target one primary target plus one secondary target per level. There's no to hit roll. That's true. There is no to hit roll. Target one primary target plus one secondary target per level. There's no to hit roll. It's true there is no to hit roll. My understanding has always been that if there's no to hit roll, then any effect like that, mirror image, displacement, none of those factor in. Yeah, I think it has to do with line of effect and line of sight,

in which case you still have to roll the 50%. But you'll hit it, Matthew. All you're going to do is roll a 51 or higher. 51 or higher? 86. Oh! Oh, no. That's the worst possible result.

The worst possible... Matthew. Oh, no. The last 86 roll killed a character on this network. Yeah. Matthew. Now, this is tricky. I have the result.

What's going to happen is it's going to hit all of your allies. It's going to chain all of your allies. It cannot, by the terms of the spell. By the rules of 86, the worst possible thing happens. The worst possible. Possible. Possible. That's fair.

It's outside of the realm of possibility. But Paizo didn't write the word possible. Skid's old friend did. Get him on the phone! Skid, can you get that gentleman on the phone? Yeah, Del? Oh, it's Del. It's Del. Yeah, Del. It's Del. I think Del would support my interpretation here.

Rule of fun. Oh, this is interesting. I mean, worst possible result. A chain lightning spell hits all of your friends. I'm just trying to decide if it should hit her as well. You made the roll. So I'm going to say you hit her, right? Yeah, I don't want to.

Is that the worst possible? I mean, you can make her a secondary target. Yeah. That's less damage. Well, yeah, maybe. How many targets is it possible? One primary plus one secondary per level. All of which must be within 30 feet of the primary.

Yeah, yeah. Well, we're taking some creative liberties here with our 86 rule, which the fans universally love. Well, yeah, I guess actually it could hit. So you're saying it hits her and then arcs and hits everybody else. Yeah, that's fine. We had a long discussion about consistency of rule application. Well, this is the 86 else. Yeah, that's fine. We had a long discussion about consistency of rule application. No, it's not.

I support this. I'm fine supporting it. I fully support it. I'm just saying that if you're going to go off on a long tangent about this is a made-up rule. This is a made-up house rule. Classic made-up house rule. This is fine. I'm just saying it's like trying to describe and put rules around a singularity.

You can't do it. That's fine. There's just no consistency here. We can't claim consistency if we follow this. I would argue, perhaps the worst result would be that it arcs and hits me. That's interesting. Here's what I'm going to say. The worst result is that you're the

primary target and everyone else is secondary. Please roll that damage. Everyone gets a reflex save. Okay, I'm going to reflex save. This rule has killed before. It will kill again. It will kill again. I make my reflex save exactly.

Oh, the reflex save exactly! And I do as well with a 30. Okay. Did everybody else make their reflex save? 20, 27. a 30. Okay. Did everybody else make their reflexes? 20, 27. You pass. Okay. Baron.

Dirk Davitsky, number 41, baby. You're fine. Joe does not look as confident. And I'm wearing so much metal armor. Do I take a penalty to my save? Or just more damage? Or anything having to do with metal armor? I thought there was something with lightning.

I believe that's lightning bolt. Which, this is unlike lightning bolt. Okay. In that case, it's a 21. That's a fail. But you get the plus two bonus from your luck load. Yes! Luck load.

Yes! You passed! 23! It was DC 22? Yeah! Yeah your luck load. Yes. Luck load. Yes. You pass. 23. It was DC 22? Yeah. Thank you, Grant. Luck load. Great, great, great, great, great.

All right. So everybody passes. Luck load. Everybody passes. Everybody passes. So everyone takes 29 points of damage. Wow. That's the most exciting 29 points of damage I've ever gladly taken.

Including me, which really is. Wow. You only take 29 as the primary target? I just roll. I pass my save. For Chain Lightning, there's no difference. You all, primary and secondary, take the same amount of damage. The primary, secondary designation is for placement of who.

Placement, okay. It depends on how many times you'll proc Chain Lightning. I love this. So you roll over there. You see her climbing up the stairs, and you go to Cassis, and you're like a Tesla coil. It starts on you and shoots out to the rest of the world. I'm like one of the guys in Raiders of the Lost Ark at the end. Wow.

That was one hell of an 86. That could have been a lot worse. Could have been. My turn's not even over. No? What else you got? I got another fireball for her. There you go.

Could she please roll a reflex save? All right you got? I got another fireball for her. There you go. Whoa. Could she please roll a reflex save? All right, Pitbull, throw that fireball. Woo! Dolly. 28. That's passed, so it's going to be half damage. Let's roll 10d6.

Yeah, these are all cutting through that stone skin DR. I thought you said had. 16 points of damage. 16 points of damage. 16 points of damage. She's in bad bad shape. Target that explosion and fire. Well, it is Baron's turn.

Baron, come on. He doesn't have the movement. The bad news is Joe, if you'll hand me control of my character, I'll move. Joe, would you walk over there and give Grant control? Thank you. 40 feet.

That's all I can move is a little dwarf guy. With haste. Swift action. Burst of speed. 60 feet. Right up in that jaw. Shoulder to shoulder with Metra. Oh, my God.

Bang. One shot. Do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime Yo Do not throw away your shot You can see invisibility Still subject to displacement

This could be the kill shot From our gunslinger This is a tradition Unlike any other Misfire No it's not a misfire Face of a misfire 37 sorry 27

barely hit both 43 oh no come on no you can't do it no that's Norse foundry oh Norse for all your concealment needs.

You both see Liratus, like, smile as that bullet flies past. And she curls up around towards the next floor. Ugh. Come on. And it is Sir Will's turn. Wait, what did she do this round? Did she have spell resistance? Uh, no.

I haven't, uh... Yeah, I was suspecting. Yeah, I checked. What did she do this round? You don't know. Oh, so she didn't cast anything on any of us. Nothing that you could say, yeah. She just moved.

She did something and then moved up the stairs. Okay. Then I shall roll on this table of hell. Well, did, I mean, did Metro just attack you? I did just attack you. And I roll act normally, obviously. I fucking hate this game. That's right.

That's what it was last week. Right. So it was just like, how dare you, you treacherous wretch! And he's like, kunk, kunk, kunk, kunk, kunk, kunk, kunk, and his, like, little greaves, and he could like and he's like little greaves and he can barely walk fast. Oh but he's hasted. So he moves like the wind. Oh no I excluded you.

Remember we talked about this? Oh yeah. So he moves 40 feet in your direction. Through the wall of force? Oh there's a wall of force. That's right. You know what? He's going to take a page from nester's book and he's going to set his lance gently down facing upward and then put his throat over it and shove his throat down into his lance now that he can finally act normally for one uh uh yeah i don't think he can get there

Sorry, Troy This is so dumb and a waste of time This pool, what is this? This pit? This circle? Can he walk along the gray? Yeah, just consider it difficult terrain I didn't make Nestor come So then I'll put him there, right on the edge of the wall Force on the edge of the gray

Walking towards Metra He drops his lance Because he's not going to walk around with that He has no mount He's not even missing Lexington right now Because he's completely just like Confused about what's happening You know I was so caught up in this

I forgot to have both Metra and Baron Roll against the Charming Gaze We'll see It's past Hands off the chess piece here It's past Yeah I don't want to go back Anyway he's moving toward you Metra With a burning hatred in his eyes and a magical sword drawn.

All right. Top of round 12, it is Nestor's turn. Nestor. Can you target a square? He can't spare a square I mean You would have seen where the lightning hit But she left

She hasn't left really, it hasn't been her turn again yet She walked up the stairs It was, yeah Slid up the stairs I think Nestor If you shouted out presumably That she's on the move Then he would just hold and delay.

Oh, you wouldn't pursue? No, because when I get up there, I won't be able to see her. Got it. So, no point. All right, so Nestor's going to hold. Probably the best case situation here, and then it comes back to Metra. Okay, I'm going to do the exact same thing.

What are you going to do? Follow her up the stairs until I can see her. I'll do a fireball first. Well, let's see what you see. Yeah, I'm going to hold this floor. You're going to be going to a new map, Metro. Oh, gosh. Let's take you to the new map.

You know you can put just Metro on the new map, right? Can I? Yeah. Is it a new page, or are you only fog of warring something that's a new page on the new page you just take matthew's name at the bottom of the screen and click and drag it up to the page and drop it on the page oh you should only click his name and drag it where up to where up to the page the page like the small thumbnail of the page interesting try that i don't know that is he gonna see the whole page though or just what's To where? Up to the page. The page that you want to go to. Like the small thumbnail of the page? Oh, interesting.

Try that. I didn't know that. Is he going to see the whole page, though, or just what's been revealed? Or just what's been revealed. Well, let's find out. All right, Matthew. I've never... Very cool.

Do you see that? I see the circle. Yeah, it looks very similar to the map below. But we don't, none of us see it. Wow, that's really... It looks very similar! Joe, right! Calm down, you'll find yourself getting another bucket!

All right, you start climbing up the stairs, It looks very similar. Joe, right. Calm down. You'll find yourself getting another bucket. All right. You start climbing up the stairs following the Naga, and you do not see her. Do you keep moving? Yeah. How much movement do you have? 60 feet. Enough to get around the turn there?

If she can. Go ahead and put yourself around. As far, to the extent of your movement. I get to this point point and I look around. The paneled ceiling of yet another round room in this climbing tower is painted with the image of the night sky, with countless stars shining among a few dark clouds. Mounted above a very similar fountain to the rooms below, in the center of the room, is a huge sculpted sphere of azure stone that streams a continuous flow of pure water in the basin below.

A curved bookshelf like the one in the room below, almost as high as the ceiling, runs along the southeastern wall. A large candle illuminates a writing desk sitting opposite the bookshelf. You do not see the Naga anywhere in the room.

Oh, come on. Even with your ability to see invisibility. And on the ethereal plane. And on the ethereal plane. Perception check. Roll it. 31. 31!

When your eyes are drawn to the bookshelves, you see they're 50 feet wide, 30 feet high, with hundreds of huge tones, with the spines of the books all written in giant. That looks interesting. I mean, very, very interesting to a learned sorcerer such as yourself. You see there's like rolls of blank parchment

and a wide variety of writing and drawing implements on the desk. But that is all that you see, other than the stars that all seem to be lit along the ceiling. We know she can travel through the walls of the castle. The one thing you know is that the Gugs that may very well have been her servants, when you were fighting them, one of them squeezed itself into a space

that you could see for a moment that seemed to be interdimensional, maybe ethereal, and it just went up into the ceiling. And then you then fought that Gug later before taking on the neuritis. But she's been talking about how she's been observing us. And wasn't there something about how she... So it was just that, that she's been kind of...

Possibly. It could be an arcane eye type situation, you know, or a more powerful version of a spell like that that can follow you around and watch you. My eyes have followed you throughout the castle. Okay. Well. Very interesting situation.

It is an incredibly interesting situation. This is a very interesting situation. Yeah. So I'm guessing she did some sort of plane shift option plane shift thing there or so she yeah she melded into the wall or floor or rope trip kind of situation yeah bless you thank you um i called it uh i will ready in action i've done my move action. I will ready a standard. I can do that, right? Yes. Okay.

No one was listening. I feel good about Skids, yes. I feel good about Skids, yes. Yes. Yes, you can. I look at Joe. He's on his phone. I am working for the record.

If I detect anything suggesting I know where she is, I will cast a spell. Okay. And I will free action call down to the others to explain she disappeared. I will take my turn. Nestor will. Okay. Nestor will run up the stairs until he gets adjacent to Metro. Okay. will run up the stairs until he gets adjacent to Metra. Okay, and I should say, Metra, on the other side of the room,

you do see another circular staircase leading further up this tower. Let's get Nestor on this page. New page. We haven't had a new page in a year, it feels like. And I didn't see her tail on that staircase, right? No, you saw her go up and around and out of sight. When you chased her, she was nowhere to be found. She could also be in the water.

Curious. Well, let's get Nestor over there. There you go. Secret sauce. It is Baron's turn. And I will also ready an action. If I see a hostile enemy,

I will shoot at it. Okay. Shoot at the hostiles. Did you see her at all? Oh, yeah. Let me do a perception check also. Well, I'm not there. Metagaming, I didn't roll particularly well. Okay. Oh, yes, I did.

Look around. I'm distracted. 42. 42. Same thing that I described to her. Nothing else. Baron, what are you thinking? I'm going to move 40 feet. Baron doesn't know this, but I know that if the Naga appears on... Well, now Sir Will's going to...

Part of me wants to stay down here and keep watch in case there's some sort of whoop-de-doodle happening, but I don't think the Naga would have taken the stairs if that was the case. Baron will move 40 feet up and do a perception check. Okay. That will be a 35? 35 perception. 37 against secret doors.

Nothing. Then I will Cast cure serious wounds on myself Okay 27 points of healing 27 points Of healing And that is my turn Now it is Sir Willamette,

the last rose of Highbury. Insane in the membrane. Will you take me to that square, please, by the way? Which one are you at? You're up there. I'm Grant B. But are you upstairs? I'm Grant B.

I move 40 feet up. Is that enough? Yes. Okay. Yes, it is. Leaving me alone on a map with none of my friends. He was out in the desert on a... Oh, you have no mountain.

No one attacked me this round, so... Oh! A four. Act normally. Oh! So all of a sudden he's standing on the edge of this fountain, this water, wall of force just to the side of him. And he looks around, and everyone's gone. He's like, Lexington?

Yeah. Metro? Sheriff? Sheriff? What's happening? I've lost time. I feel very injured. Bam!

And he's going to lay on hands himself. And then he is going to... You know, honestly, I don't think he can do much else right now, but look around. I don't know how to play the confusion, but I'm going to play the confusion like he's not following the sequence of events. He doesn't know. Everybody just ran upstairs. So I'm just going to start moving in that direction. So I was digging into this summon mouth. I don't see anything to suggest that I can't summon him from his plane right back to me.

He is, after all, Celestial Wolf. It's assumed at times he is on another plane anyway. He's originally summoned from another plane. Right. But it does say it's once per day. And I can't remember if I think I used it today, summoning him, even though it's not marked on my sheet. I think we should at least have a customs papers scene. Sorry. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. That's at fifth fifth level i can do it three times per day so i'll mark it as two you can call him even though he's in another plane right correct well i'm guessing there's nothing that says you can't

i was googling yeah i saw no conversation if it works like normal summoning i mean you can summon demons and devils so yeah yet again summon the perfect person to be sent to another place. Yeah, so I guess by pure instinct, let me go back to where I was. He will summon... It's a full round action, which means I still could do the Lay on Hands. So do the Lay on Hands, and then he will say, I owe me day. Wherever Lexington has gone, bring him to me.

I need him at once! And he appears at my side. He's like cowering because you've been beating him up every time. Lexington, what is happening? He shies away from me. What's wrong, boy? It's I. Why do you fear me? And then we cut back

to Metra in the top of round 13. Metra, there is no enemy in sight. You don't think unless she had some type of spell that would speed her across the room, she could have made it to that other staircase. What do you want to do? Then I would guess she's on a different plane.

Or a different floor. That is true. I... Or a different floor. That is true. I. Metro's going to cast. You know what Metro's going to do? She's going to invoke her spectral shroud. And become incorporeal. And gain a fly speed.

Okay. And I'm going to fly straight up. Through the ceiling. Incorp'm going to fly straight up through the ceiling. Incorporeal, fly straight up through this area. Yeah. I'm going to get as far as being able to poke my head up to the floor and look around. Oh, wow. Oh, my goodness.

All righty. Luckily, Troy prepared for exactly that. You fly through the ceiling, and you're flying up. Remember, these ceilings are pretty far. The floors are pretty thick. Yeah. And you come into a room that you're in corporeal, not ethereal,

right? So you can see everything like normal. It's not black and white. I'm on the material plane, though I can see the ethereal plane. Right. You see a stained glass dome covering the room up here, filtering the light outside in a dazzling display of colors

while a series of arrow slits pierce the walls. To the south, there's a huge silver telescope standing beneath the dome, mounted on a massive wheeled trolley on tracks that runs a full circle of the room. The apex of the dome is 100 feet above the floor, and the one thing that you hear is the sound of rain and thunder and lightning. Whoa.

Oh, cool. And we'll see you next week. Oh, my God. What an epic image. This is a very interesting situation. What's for our buddy Jimmy? The Glass Cannon Podcast is a Glass Cannon Network production and is an officially licensed partner of Paizo Incorporated.
