Starting point is 00:00:00 This week on the Glass Cannon Podcast Two men overboard on the port side! A deadly accident leaves Lork thrashing in the water Y'all gotta get these men back on board Come down here and help me, dammit But the heroes won't get any help from Troy Just let him fucking drown Nautical terms will be attempted
Starting point is 00:00:23 Are they on the port side or the starboard side? Don't ask me questions. It's the port side. It's the left side of the boat. And a harsh lesson will rise from the depths. If you die in this combat, it's because you played the game the right way. And let that be a lesson to everyone else. Never play the game.
Starting point is 00:00:42 The adventure continues now. Well, well, well, look who decided to listen to the Glass Cannon Podcast. Hey, you did. What's going on, guys? It's Joe here to say Happy New Year and welcome to the first Glass Cannon episode of 2016. I wanted to do the intro today because I just had to thank you guys so much for voting me favorite player of 2015. I just got the good news from Steve Harvey here, and I am overjoyed. And I don't even know where to begin with all my thank yous.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I have so many people to thank. I'm going to start with my parents, of course, without whose support I couldn't possibly. Sorry. What? What? Stan won the best player award? Are you kidding me? Hey, just wanted to congratulate Skid for winning favorite player of 2015.

You're fucking kidding me man really skid god damn it that was mortifying get my agent on the phone right now this is an outrage an absolute disgrace there's supposed to be a professional organization around here. You know, the one thing Rag said was, don't just go take a dip in the ocean. Don't just take a dip in the river for a little swim. And what does Lork do?
Starting point is 00:02:59 On the first day of the journey, he swan dives in. It was an unintentional swim this is a complete misappropriation of fact this is not admissible as evidence this is so you think oh okay all I gotta do is haul in some fishing
Starting point is 00:03:20 nets first one no prob second one nailed it third, was that the 20th? No, the third one was the one where he killed it. Yeah, killed it. Natural 20. He got some Dungeness crabs. Yeah, there's lobster, some prawns. Yeah, everything that doesn't normally live in the river.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Another wolverine. Two animal companions? River wolverines. This one was drowned and dead. Wolfmarine. And then on the fourth Again You had no problem
Starting point is 00:03:47 Like you were Definitely prepared for this But the fucking rail Gave way The shoddy ass construction No but Rag told you Like it may look ungainly But this ship is seaworthy
Starting point is 00:03:57 Doesn't make sense Doesn't matter Oh maybe there was Shenanigans Doesn't matter Yeah I think there was Well I'd love Lork and Uruk
Starting point is 00:04:04 Fell in It's the last thing Lork and Uruk fell in. It's the last thing Lork's thinking about right now. Right. Right, you're like, wait a minute, something is happening. And he sinks to the bottom. So Lork and Uruk fall in. Baron is like, what, what, what, what? Gormley, Crow's Nest, sees some sort of river denizens
Starting point is 00:04:23 making their way towards this new prey, feeding time, as it were. Are they on the port side or the starboard side? Don't ask me questions. Call them out. Make them work. Wait, it's the left side of the boat. It's the port bird side.
Starting point is 00:04:39 It's the left side of the boat? The port bird castle? Wait, it's the port front. Yeah, it's the left side. Okay, that's the port side? The port bird castle? Wait, it's the port. Yeah, it's the left side. Okay, that's the port side. The port pilot deck? All right, so can Grumley seize this, and she shouts,
Starting point is 00:04:53 Two men overboard on the port side! She's been studying. Right, Grumley did her homework, and she yells, Two men overboard, port side. And then jumps down off the crow's nest. You don't just get to jump down yeah you do
Starting point is 00:05:06 when you have feather fall you gotta fucking roll initiative oh right cause there is shit going down meanwhile Galabros
Starting point is 00:05:15 is just like I'm so excited to cook and then oh my god I know you know what I'd like to do look at that crab oh god is that a dungeness
Starting point is 00:05:23 I would really really like to roll a high initiative. Ooh. I did okay. I did okay. I done okay. I done okay, mate. It's all right, innit?
Starting point is 00:05:35 This has to be our first combat in what, 30, 40 episodes? At least. I mean, if we're accurate, I think it's three, but it's certainly the first combat
Starting point is 00:05:43 we've ever started with Lork armorless in the water. Yeah. It's our first. And everyone else not in the water. You know what?
Starting point is 00:05:50 You're better off being armorless. No, that's true. You would have sunk. This is our first amphibious combat. And your first
Starting point is 00:05:56 book two slash season two combat. Yes. That's right. So you get to show off all your new powers as Lork drowns.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Nope. Drowns and dies. Okay. Where are my 20s pluses at? That's right So you get to show off all your new powers Nope Okay Where are my 20s pluses at? What? I need to get the cricket sound Wait, is there a cricket sound on Sirenscape? Because this is insane Do you guys forget how to roll dice?
Starting point is 00:06:19 It's been that long Sorry, I'm just rolling ones and twos 15 plus. 18. 18. All right. 18. One at a time.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Do we all roll 18? Every one of us? I rolled a 17. So wait, Galabras, Gormley, and Baron all rolled 18? Yeah. Come on.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I rolled a natural 18. All right, well, I know that Gormley has the highest initiative bonus. Yeah. No, what do you have? Baron is second.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I also have plus seven. Oh, roll off. It's a roll off. It's a roll off. It's a roll off. It's a roll off. This is thrilling. Do we still add our have? Baron is second. I also have plus seven. Oh, roll off. It's a roll off. It's a roll off. It's a roll off. It's a roll off. This is thrilling. Do we still add our bonus?
Starting point is 00:06:49 Thrilling television right now. Do we still add our bonus? No, no, no. Just roll the die. Four. Well, it's the same anyway, so. It is the same anyway. Do we add our bonus?
Starting point is 00:06:56 Do we both add our bonus? Fuck you, Mar. That's a really great question. You know what? It had to be asked. I'm sorry. It had to be asked. I'm sorry. It had to be asked. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Oh, thank you. That was wonderful. It had to be asked. Our listeners are like, they're really going to record a roll-off for who got the higher initiative? Damn straight we are. I'm done with this podcast. I'm done with it. Oh, man. I wrote the 14.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Okay, so. Add your bonus. Oh, man. I wrote the 14. Okay, so. Add your bonus. No, you add your bonus. You add your bonus. Baron with a plus seven. Where'd you get the plus seven? This is great. Gunslinger's initiative.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Gunslinger's initiative. I'm at a plus five when I have zero grip points. Now you're a Gormley level initiative. Yeah. Fucking great. Love leveling up. Gormley, you see all this happen. You yell because you're the first to act. What
Starting point is 00:07:47 do you do? So I've just yelled and now I get to act? Yeah. Alright, Gormley immediately just hops over the side of the crow's nest and just falls straight. Feather falls. Feather falls. Falls straight to her death. Take 3d6 damage. Not to be a total annoying jerk, but do you
Starting point is 00:08:04 know how fast you fall with feather fall? 9.8 meters a second squared. The reason that's important is in one round, you may not be able to fall 30 feet. To the deck. Yeah. You may, like, on the first round... You're going to say fall slowly, so let me look it up.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah, so look up the rules, and we'll all wait in silence. I think you probably, on the first round, you probably fall halfway, maybe a little over half. I'd be surprised if you fell 30 feet and didn't have any damage. Can she initiate? No, I can do it in a round. 60 feet per round.
Starting point is 00:08:36 60 feet per round. All right, so... She can get down and then move 15 more feet. And I'm in the middle of the deck, so 15 will take me right to the edge of the... Right, so you just go, ah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah,
Starting point is 00:08:51 waft down, and you come up, what, right beside Baron? Yeah. All right, so you see this go down. Right at the edge. Feather fall down, come right to the edge, right next to where Baron is just holding a net full of fish.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Can he use that as a melee weapon? Just swing a bag of fish. Baron. Baron wants to know with his exhaustive compendium of knowledge
Starting point is 00:09:22 on fishing, which he has gained in the last couple episodes, can he throw the net out to get Lork and his new half-orc companion back on the boat? Can he snare them and bring them up? You can, in a turn, empty the net and prepare to throw it. I would say that's probably fair.
Starting point is 00:09:49 You could empty the net of fish, but you would lose that day's catch because you're doing this hastily. Lose that net's catch and then try to use that to help either Urog or a lork. Lork. John Lork lock or a lork. Lock. John Lock. We say lork.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I'm giving you a Sophie's Choice because it makes it more interesting. I'm going to, as a free action, talk to the people on the ship. Okay. And I'm going to say in my loudest voice possible, y'all get the best fishermen down here. Y'all got to get these men back on board. Whoever can hold a net, come down here and help me, damn it. I can only get one up at a time.
Starting point is 00:10:39 And now you know that all the rowers were down below deck. So you would assume with your booming dwarven voice that they heard that and that they will hopefully come help. Right. So you see Captain Bloodtusk on the pilot deck look at you like, all right, let's figure this out. So the remainder of my turn will be taken to throwing these fish back to where their home is and getting the rope ready for my next round. Yes. Okay. Alright. Very interesting. Galabras, you're just like so excited
Starting point is 00:11:12 to start your new journey as a chef de cuisine. You come out just to kind of watch the daily catch and you see all hell break loose. What do you do? Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I'm going to step up towards the railing, not leaning on it, as it may, in fact, be sabotaged. I'm going to stand at the edge and I will begin casting Summon Monster 2. Oh! Which I do have this time. Yeah!
Starting point is 00:11:46 Oh, wait, Troy, real quick, think of a reason why he can't cast it. Yeah, could you real improvise a reason why I can't do this? Well, you did not role play his daily meditations. Oh, that's right. You didn't meditate. Sorry, skin.
Starting point is 00:11:58 You were so excited to cut potatoes. I am going to role play head-butting the bridge of your nose In your brain Why'd you do it for real? You said roleplay I'm LARPing Troy I don't like it
Starting point is 00:12:14 Is there anything More interesting about some monster 2 vs 1 Besides you can get new monsters? It's just a little more powerful List of monsters to choose from. And you'll see what you get. All right. But it's not like the high-level ones where you can summon multiple of a smaller one?
Starting point is 00:12:33 You can't summon multiple number ones? I could. Wait, Ski, before you get into this. Nerd. Ski's got something plain to do. It is time for Nerd Edge. Oh, it's been too long. I wish they could see us because we all dance. So we all have our own...
Starting point is 00:12:53 It's infectious, man. Like Charlie Brown Christmas dance to it. Yeah. Everyone has their own move. God damn, I love that song. I feel like Dick Clark's Top 40. It's like rocketing to the top of the charts. Dick Clark's top 40 is rocketing to the top of the charts.
Starting point is 00:13:11 So Summon Monster, there's like six or seven different levels of it. And for each incremental level allows the summoning of more and more powerful monsters or multiple versions of monsters from the list right below. It is now Uruk's turn. Uruk, struggling. So he magically found a number between 18 and 17? Explain to me this number. It's a hypothetical number. I also want to know his bonus, because Skid's bonus is zero.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Why was there not a roll-off? You know what? I'm done. I'm done. He's walking out. He's cast off his cans, as we call them in the business. It's Lorister. Yeah! That's fine. Just let him
Starting point is 00:13:57 fucking drown. He rolled a one on him. For flavor's sake. He seemed like a really nice guy. Well, he's drowning so but no take your turn
Starting point is 00:14:09 well first thing you're gonna do Lork is you're gonna roll a swim check and you know what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you a little knowledge I'm gonna give you a learning
Starting point is 00:14:18 you can play that nerdage again if you want save it about how swim checks work so you gotta roll a swim check to stay afloat and that's not an action nope that is just these are the conditions Save it about how swim checks work. So you've got to roll a swim check to stay afloat.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And that's not an action? Nope. That is just, these are the conditions. You've got to see if you can even act. If you succeed on the swim check, I'm not going to tell you the DC. I'll tell you if you fail or pass, and then I'll tell you what it is. If you succeed, you can then swim up to half your speed as a full round action, or a quarter speed if you're using a standard action, okay?
Starting point is 00:14:53 If you fail that swim check, you begin to drown. Fuck. And when you begin to drown, you have to hold your breath, obviously, right? Mm-hmm. And you can hold your breath up to two times your constitution score. And you're like, whoa, you probably got what, like a 12? Yeah, 12. 12, so that's 24 rounds you can hold your breath. to two times your constitution score. And you're like, whoa, you probably got what, like a 12? Yeah, 12. 12. So that's 24 rounds you can hold your breath.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Oh, that seems pretty easy. I'm never going to drown. Any time you take an action. You mean like try to live? Right. It reduces that number of rounds that you can live. That you can hold your breath. That you can hold your breath, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:22 That's a lot of math. And you've got to roll a DC 10 constitution check every round to continue holding your breath. And if you fail, that clock just ticks down, down, down. You're grinning like you're so happy. I'm just excited
Starting point is 00:15:37 to play in the water. Oh, by the way, there are some creatures coming towards you. Well, he doesn't know that, I don't think. Let's start with a swim check. Alright, swim check. Oh, by the way, there are some creatures coming towards you. Yeah. Well, he doesn't know that, I don't think. Let's start with a swim check. All right. Swim check.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Here it goes. Failed. What'd you roll? I rolled a seven total. I was really not expecting this. I don't know why you don't expect me to roll as shitty as possible. What's your swim bonus, Jeff? Four plus four.
Starting point is 00:16:06 So you rolled a three? That is correct. Hold on, did you add your bonus? Did everyone add their bonus? You are sinking and beginning to drown. You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to twice your constitution score, but only if you do nothing other than
Starting point is 00:16:28 take move actions or free actions. If you take a standard action or a full round action, like making an attack, the remainder of the duration for which you can hold your breath is reduced by one round. Effectively, a character in combat can hold his breath only half as long
Starting point is 00:16:43 as normal. Make sense? After that period of time, so like say that clock runs out, you must make a DC 10 constitution check every round to continue holding your breath. Each round the DC for the check increases by one. If you fail that constitution check, you begin to drown for real. And that's when you die.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Meanwhile, the three of you know, or maybe Galabras hasn't been caught up to speed yet. Not only is Lork sinking and having to hold his breath. He's disappeared under the water. He's disappeared under the water, but Gormley and Baron, you may even know, there's shit coming at him. Can we make out how many shit there is?
Starting point is 00:17:26 Wait, but I can take an action, can I not? You can take an action, yes. Just write on your, keep a side paper, whatever your constitution score is, 12, 24. That's the timer, 24. That's your timer, 24 rounds. And it subtracts one round for each standard action. For each standard action, yep.
Starting point is 00:17:42 You can take a move action. But again, since you- But what is a move action? You told me it was, you said that it was a full round action to swim, right? It's a full round action, like if you succeed... No, at your speed. If you succeed, you can move half your speed as a full
Starting point is 00:17:56 round action. So you go 15 if you go... So is it a move action to just try to swim to the surface again? So basically, because you failed that check, you're incapacitated. So I'm going to have to the surface again? So basically, because you failed that check, you're incapacitated. So I'm going to have to spend next round just trying to get back up.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Right, if you can pass that swim check on the next round, then you can move quarter speed. Get back up to the surface and swim. Half speed at full run,
Starting point is 00:18:18 actually, and start swimming. But like, right now, you are starting to drown. Now it's going to take a long time for you to drown, for the water to actually enter your lungs. 24 hours. I'm really glad I rushed my are starting to drown. Now, it's going to take a long time for you to drown, for the water to actually enter your lungs. 24 hours. I'm really glad I rushed my turn up to here.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah. I know. Could have let Ura go. Yeah. Just the karma probably would have given me a better roll on the goddamn D20. All right. So, Lork is sinking. So, you guys just see Lork gone.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Disappears. Gone. Is swim a strength or dex? Strength. Damn it. Sorry. Swim is so Lork is sinking. So you guys just see Lork gone, disappear. Gone. Is swim a strength or a dex? Strength. Damn it. Sorry. Swim is strength-based, yeah. I had a plan. Thwarted.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Wow. You never know how these combats are going to work out. Use your spectral hand or my hair. Use your hair. Lork go in, and probably from the distraction of not expecting this, he goes in and just you just see bubble bubble bubble Urak finds his way to the
Starting point is 00:19:13 surface he passes his swim check of course he does got a plus nine to swim bro god damn it he is a man of the sea you would think a guy that works on a boat knows how to swim, bro. God damn it. He is used to it. You would think a guy that works on a boat knows how to swim. He's a boatman. Okay, so he
Starting point is 00:19:29 passes the swim check and moves to the edge of what's left of the side of the boat, but he can't now climb into the boat. He doesn't have enough moves left. So he's just kind of staying there, which means he has to roll another swim check next round
Starting point is 00:19:46 and hopefully stay afloat. To stay afloat, yeah. But he's swimming over there to try and get back on board. And it is now... Galapagos? No, he already went. He already went. All of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Oh, gosh. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Gormley, you see this. A giant fucking crocodile crocodile so it's going to pull me under swims up
Starting point is 00:20:12 crocodile and goes to attack Lork underwater I would call him easy prey am I wrong to call him easy prey no he is green wouldn't they assume that he might be another type of crocodile Easy prey Am I wrong? Am I wrong to call him easy prey? No And he attempts
Starting point is 00:20:26 He is green Wouldn't they assume That he might be another Type of crocodile? Crocodiles are Really stupid And their sight Is based entirely on
Starting point is 00:20:36 Color This is a Well known fact Well known fact It's a fantasy world And they love green Croc Attacks Lork
Starting point is 00:20:44 And rolls Tries to bite you. Rolls a 12. Hits. No armor. Oh, because you don't have armor. Yeah. Come on. And I can't imagine you don't have,
Starting point is 00:20:56 you get your dex bonus to AC underwater. If you do, it still hits. If you do, it hits twice. Are you kidding me? A 12 hits? I don't have armor. Okay, so it, it hits twice. Are you kidding me? A 12 hits? I don't have armor. Okay, so this is insane. I love this game.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Oh, I'm glad. I bet you're having a good time. So it bites you and just, all of a sudden you're like, I'm drowning, I'm drowning. Blood gushes out of your arm. The biggest thing I have to worry about is getting up to the surface next round.
Starting point is 00:21:24 It does seven points of damage, and it gets a free chance to grapple you. Oh my God. And it grapples you. Oh God. Lork, a crocodile just swam up to you, bit you, and has now wrapped you in its jaws.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And it doesn't take a guy with a lot of Pathfinder knowledge nature to know what this fucking thing is gonna do next round. Just swim down. If it succeeds on a grapple check. Oh, that's fine. Oh, by the way, another crocodile comes out.
Starting point is 00:22:00 And swims up to Urog. Oh my God. Your old buddy, the guy that just seemed... So nice. Seemed like a good dude. And he goes to bite Urag. He bites Urag. Urag takes nine points of damage.
Starting point is 00:22:18 And Urag is grappled. All right, I gotta get some music going here death music alright yeah so one crocodile came up took a bite out of Lork
Starting point is 00:22:30 and locked on grappled another crocodile came up Urag actually didn't sink is on his way to climb up the boat but too late
Starting point is 00:22:38 this croc comes up bites him and also grapples Urag oh god round two I'm not gonna lie this seemingly simple I mean clearly not simple combat bites him and also grapples Urag. Oh, God. Round two. I'm not going to lie. This seemingly simple, I mean, clearly not simple combat,
Starting point is 00:22:51 could be a death combat. And it is now Gormley's turn. I'm nervous. Gormley? All right. So I believe this is not an action, because it says I can do it instantly. Go on.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Gormley's hair begins to grow. And it just begins, it And it just All her wild hair All of a sudden stretches out 10 feet and goes straight down So there's a rope there In case someone can get to it They can climb up her hair So it's just there
Starting point is 00:23:17 That's not an action So I can see the crocodile I can see that the crocodile came and grabbed Lork Can I see that? Are they shallow enough that I can see what's happening? can see that the crocodile came and grabbed Lork. Can I see that? Are they shallow enough that I can see what's happening? They are probably three to five feet underwater. So you just see, you saw Lork go down, and then you see this mass, like, dark shadow come up to Lork.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You're not going to see clear shapes. I mean, you can see the dark shapes, I would imagine. Like, you can infer from Ura getting bit that that's probably a croc, but you can't see him. They're underwater. Could I target it with a spell? Absolutely not. No? I was going to ear-piercing scream.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I don't need to know what it is to scream at it, do I? Think about, say you and me are in a pool, like we normally do. Like we normally are. Like we normally are. And I jump underwater, and you're on the deck, and you scream at me. I wouldn't hear you for days, Matthew. I wouldn't
Starting point is 00:24:11 hear you. It's a magical scream. Go on. It's a magical scream. And also, sound is amplified underwater. Yes, but you have to be under the water. That's the thing. Try to save your life, Joe. I would think... Save yourself. I think unless someone can... My life is forfeit.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I think if you want to jump in the water and scream underwater, yeah, I'll totally allow it. But, and if, like, Urog's crocodile would be affected by it because they're above water, but, like, if anything, it's going to increase the DC
Starting point is 00:24:43 of the save. I think that's fair. Increase the DC of the save by, like, five. Because they're underwater. There's one other thing I'll put out there without saying anything, and that's... But you're saying something. Well, without suggesting an action. Everyone in this area is in danger of falling off. At some point.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Yeah. So do you have anything to prevent that? Well, here I... Not really. My thinking was that if I can affect the crocodile by the scream, if it fails to save its days, so it would release the grapple. But if I can't affect it, then... The rulebook says it's up to GM's
Starting point is 00:25:26 discretion. So, GM's discretion. And he has made his choice. He's made his choice. You can blame this completely, entirely on Troy. Whatever he does. You could say Buurak right now. Unfortunately, the lork is beyond your care unless you were to
Starting point is 00:25:41 jump in the water and scream underwater. Which I wish there was like an anime version of this podcast. I would love to see that visually. Alright, I'm going to... So Urag is not grappled, he just got bit. No, he's grappled as well. He is also grappled, but he's above water. I will ear-piercing scream the
Starting point is 00:25:57 crocodile that grabbed Urag. So you just walk up to the edge of the boat and like... That wasn't ear-piercing. I you just walk up to the edge of the boat and like... That wasn't ear piercing. You don't have to do one. Alright, I'll do it for real.
Starting point is 00:26:13 So it's 2d6 sonic damage. And that's just no save, it just doesn't. No, well you get a... You get a fortitude save. A fortitude save, right. And then if you fail that, you take full damage and are dazed. Alright, fortitude save. Let me tell you what the fortitude save is.
Starting point is 00:26:30 DC 14. 23. Oh, god. Fucking god damn ass. Alright, so you take three So the crocodile takes three damage. The croc takes three damage. Fair enough. And it is not dazed,
Starting point is 00:26:46 but it doesn't release the grab relief either, but you did do damage to the crocodile. Great! Alright, Baron. Baron, you're up. So, I see this ear-piercing scream, and I'm still
Starting point is 00:27:02 dismayed by the situation we're facing because, you know, they're out there and frowning. I look towards Galabras and say, a bit of luck? And he says, any type of wink back? Nothing? It's not my turn. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:24 You're right. All right, I'm going to roll. I'm going to try to throw my net at Lork, my best friend. Okay. Ooh. That's not good. Nine. Fisherman. You throw the net
Starting point is 00:27:37 into the water and it just starts drifting up the river. It's gone? God damn it! It's gone. Lork, I love you so much. And Ben Vereen is very sad right now. Ben Vereen is on deck just panicking. Not only are the fish lost,
Starting point is 00:27:57 but so is that net. Galabras, what do you got cooking? Joe is writing me messages in his diary. At this point, listeners, you should know that Joe, being the pessimist, 100% assumes Lark is going to die this episode. Maybe he will. Maybe he will. But he's 100% assured.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I'm just saying I really thought That the Wolverine Would probably die before me I didn't know I'd have to get A new owner for the Wolverine There's a good chance The Wolverine would die During the gambling
Starting point is 00:28:36 Drinking session last night That's true Just accidentally stepped on But hey you know what Let's see what your friends Can do Galabras So you think you're
Starting point is 00:28:44 Pretty hot shit don't you You think you're pretty hot shit, don't you? You think you're the king of the universe just because you control all the events that happen in it. Does it feel good up there on your high horse, you fucking asshole? Yeah, do you like it up there on your gilded throne? Your imperial majesty? Is someone talking to me?
Starting point is 00:29:02 I can't hear you, darling. Can't even hear me. Look at him pretending to not even hear me. The lowly cleric standing on a boat on a river beneath his notice. Well, let me tell you something, buddy boy. I'm about to take you down a peg
Starting point is 00:29:18 in the form of a celestial squid. His name is Dalton. And he's about to fuck up your precious crocodiles. So you summoned Dalton the celestial squid. Dalton the celestial squid is making a fucking appearance. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is exactly What it sounds like When Dalton appears I'm suddenly more
Starting point is 00:29:52 Optimistic He appears directly behind Your fucking crocodile That's trying to kill The one that is grappling Lork Yep Okay And he immediately
Starting point is 00:30:03 Does what squids do, which if you watch National Geographic as much as I do, kill crocodiles. Rogers' Days to Save event is back with our most incredible deal yet on our most reliable internet. Enjoy Rogers Ignite internet now starting at just $50 a month, backed by our Wi-Fi satisfaction guarantee.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Visit Rogers.com. All right. Bites at the crocodile for 14. AC 14. All right. All right then.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Nice. Four points of damage. Okay. And he wraps his suckered tentacles around the crocodile. Trying to grapple the grappler? Can one grapple a grappler? 17 to hit. Does not grapple the croc.
Starting point is 00:31:03 No, no, no, no, no. That's just the two-hit roll. You already rolled the two-hit. You said 14. No, no, no, no, no. That's just the two-hit roll. Wait, you already rolled the two-hit. You said four-times the bite. No, no, no, it's a separate attack. The first one was a bite. This is the tentacle attack. Oh, this is the tentacle attack.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Right, and then he'll get a free... He's going to get a free attempt to grapple. It happens on the... Yeah, 17 hits. So the attack still does damage, right? Yeah. So... Three points of damage for the tentacle okay and now he attempts to grapple
Starting point is 00:31:30 this is insane a squid grappling a croc grappling a half orc all right he fails wow but he not without doing some damage we would get some complicated shit there i don't think i've ever seen anyone grapple a grappler besides the grappley. That's the only reason I'm happy it didn't happen, because my brain would explode trying to figure it out. But all I could assume is that everyone is still grappled. Yeah, maybe. And then when it's the croc's turn, the croc has to decide,
Starting point is 00:31:59 am I going to continue my grapple with Lork, or am I going to try and get out of the grapple with the squid? I mean, that makes sense, but either way, there's a fucking squid in the mix! There's a squid in the ointment. Speaking of squids, Lork,
Starting point is 00:32:17 you're grappled. You're underwater. You've got to make your swim check, but you've got there's other things to deal with. The swim check is the least of your worries. There are other things to deal with, namely Galabras' turn. Oh. See, now he's on my side. Once again.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Now he's on my side. I've got to throw it out. I've got to tell the listeners just an image. Whenever Skid gets pissed, he grabs his mic, his handheld mic, as if he's about to pull it out of its setting like a preacher thump troy with it you sit there on your tower made of mammoth tusks of illegally procured ivory 15 feet in the air i'm describing the scene for people who've never seen how troy in the room. Yeah, we don't have a video in the room yet, but yeah, you
Starting point is 00:33:06 should see his ivory tusk thrown. This is faux ivory. With your three... It's plivory. Three eunuchs with... fanning you with peacock feathers. They're really quiet. And you think
Starting point is 00:33:21 you're the... They're cool dudes. You think you're the king of Galarian. Well, let me tell you something. Galabras starts casting Summon Monster 1. Oh. See, this is so clutch. This is intense. So Galabras runs up, summons Monster 2.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Round later, squid appears. Squid attack, attack. Oh, by the way, I think we know this, but I don't think we explained. When you summon a monster, you have to take the full round to go through the casting process right right so he's doing this like he's doing this whole like incantation whatever and then after round later the monster appears right all right awesome ah so I'll get back to you next round I hope we see I love I love Gary. I love Galabras. Yeah. Who doesn't? Such a game changer. Who doesn't?
Starting point is 00:34:08 And we thought he was just a sous chef. That's right. Just the old chef de cuisine. Yeah. Just trying to find out who stole the lost potatoes. He's only good at chopping onions. All right, Lork. Lork, this is what's happening.
Starting point is 00:34:24 You fucking fell in. A crocodile bit you, and then it's now grabbed onto you. And I'm sure you've been around crocs. You know what they're going to do. And then all of a sudden you hear, and you feel the croc being bucked away because there's a giant squid attacking it. What do you do? I mean, yeah, there's a swim check, but that's besides the point. You're
Starting point is 00:34:45 underwater right now. You've got to escape this grapple. What are you doing? What are you doing? I think naturally I'm just going to attempt to break the grapple. I have an exertion sound effect. Grr! It didn't sound like it was underwater. Well, that was pretty good, though.
Starting point is 00:35:01 That was really impressive. Now, I believe, tell me if I'm wrong, I get a plus five to my CMD? No, not at all. It's just straight up. CMD versus, you get a plus five to your CMB to maintain the grapple. But this is against your CMD. Fail. I rolled a two.
Starting point is 00:35:22 So, I mean, when I say, everybody knows this, I'm terrible at rolling dice. So, I failed. I rolled a 2. So, I mean, when I say everybody knows this, I'm terrible at rolling dice. So I failed, so that's it. Okay, and I would say that's going to take two rounds off of your drowning score. So you went from 23... 4.
Starting point is 00:35:40 24 to now 22. Again, this isn't your drowning score. When you get to zero, that's when you begin drowning, drowning. This is holding your breath. Right. Like the water hasn't entered your lungs, so you're underwater. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:52 These are all six second rounds. Drowning, drowning like drops him to zero HP. Drowning, drowning just kills you, yes. It's bad. It's bad news bears. Let's keep going. But it is now Urag's bad. It's bad news bears. Let's keep going. But it is now Urag's turn. Urag will try to escape the grapple.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Obviously, he's going to follow in Lork's footsteps. And this is just straight up... Well, hopefully not following. That exertion is so perfect. Okay, so he tries to break the grapple. CMB versus CMD. Fails. Of course.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And now, where he is above water, I think that he would have to... He does another swim check. He does a swim check? No. He just failed the grapple. You know what I would say? I would say you wait until the crocodile's turn. And the crocodile. He just failed the grapple. You know what I would say? I would say you wait until the crocodile's turn, and the crocodile then gets to maintain the grapple,
Starting point is 00:36:49 and if it wants to, it can take him below water. His swimming right now is out of his control. Yeah, like the swimming is the least part of the problem. It's not even an issue. He can't swim. He can't. He's not keeping himself afloat. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:01 If you're not in grappling situation, or if you just fell into the water, like, ah, I've got to stay afloat. Right. If you're not in grappling situation or if, like, if you just fell into the water, like, I got to stay afloat. That's one thing. This is your idea. Yeah, but you still need the, like, coordinated usage of your limbs to stay afloat. And he's, like, whoop, wrapped up. So that's not his choice.
Starting point is 00:37:17 It's bad news. He did not escape the grapple. And now it's the crocodile's turn. So they have to, they have every turn at the beginning of the turn, do they have to make a check? Is that how it works? If they want to maintain. Maintain the grapple?
Starting point is 00:37:30 Matthew, let me tell you what the crocodiles do. The short answer to your question? I was asking for a friend. Yeah, asking for a friend. Yeah, the first thing they want to do is try to maintain the grapple. If they maintain the grapple, they then do a death roll. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I've seen that on Nat Geo. It's fucked up, man. I think we all know what a death roll is. Lockjaw, and then they roll. And with the death roll, it automatically does its bite damage and the target, Lork, Urag, in this circumstance,
Starting point is 00:38:11 is knocked prone. Which means they're... Meaningless. It's meaningless for Lork, bad for Urag. It would submerge Urag and just... And his 24 rounds start. Which I'm sure you're going to keep track of. How dare you?
Starting point is 00:38:31 How dare you question me? That was skid level bitterness. It's just hard to get legal pads up on top of that throne. Croc I, who I'm calling C1, attempts to maintain the grapple and begin its death roll with Lork. 19 against your CMD. My CMD is 19. Come on, Lork!
Starting point is 00:38:59 Lork. That's a good CMD! That's a great CMD. Fuck! Unfortunately, it's not great enough. And now it just spins with your body. And does, oh, you're very lucky, minimum damage, five damage, and just spins you underwater, clinging to you.
Starting point is 00:39:22 It tucks its legs and just fucking rolls, twisting and wrenching you underwater. Do you lose rounds of breath holding if you take damage? You don't. You don't. I think you should. It's more flavor. But you already took the damage. I think there's two big...
Starting point is 00:39:38 That damage could have been a lot worse. I think there's two big failings of the Pathfinder system underwater. Taking damage, not lowering those rounds, and your armor check bonus does not count against swim. Oh, it doesn't? Nope. You can just swim in regular armor. Oh, that's dumb. That doesn't make sense at all. It's crazy, because I had to look it up
Starting point is 00:39:56 for something else, and on the boards, the owner of Paizo, or whatever, one of the guys at Paizo that responds to these things was like, yeah, I mean, we just kind of do what you want, but we kind of homebrew it to you sink faster, but there's nothing in the rule
Starting point is 00:40:12 book about armor on a boat. And I like to take it off because I think it's more realistic. Because on a boat, they'd be like, are you insane? You're wearing metal armor? Even to slip, or if a railing breaks, something you wouldn't plan, and you fall in the water,
Starting point is 00:40:27 it's much harder to not die. Well, I mean, if you die in this combat, it's because you played the game the right way. I'm not sure what that means. And let that be a lesson to everyone else. Never play the game. Yeah, exactly. So, best case scenario, never play the game. The So Best case scenario Never play the game
Starting point is 00:40:45 The crocodile Attempts to maintain The grapple Against What's his name Urag Does Easily does
Starting point is 00:40:55 Semper Fi And does Fucking Six points of damage Urag Is You just see A puddle
Starting point is 00:41:04 Of blood Rising from the water Urag is, you just see a puddle of blood rising from the water. Urag is close to death. He is prone and is now beginning to drown as well. This is like a scene straight out of Jaws with the blood in the water. I'm so
Starting point is 00:41:20 excited. My headphones just fell off. I'm not excited. Yeah, you seem really happy about doing off. I'm not excited. Yeah, you seem really happy about doing this. I'm not happy. I just love a good combat. You're just loving this. It's one thing. It's great. I get to use all my new fourth level abilities. You're right. This is really fun.
Starting point is 00:41:37 You're attacked by five orcs. All right, well, I kill this guy. This is the problem you've got to solve. You're right. Round three. It's a problem of the dice so far for the Lord of the Masters. What about G solve. You're right. Round three. It's a problem of the dice so far for the Warcraft master. What about Gormley? No, wait. Round three.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I can't even read my own writing. I'm so excited. Round three, Gormley. I still can't see lore. Or the Crock-a-Bow. Now you can't see either of them. Or I can see dark forms. You see dark forms.
Starting point is 00:42:03 In the night. Gormley's going to cast Spectral Hand. Oh, so Gormley just stands there and summons this sort of ghostly apparition of a hand in front of her? Yeah. Is that a standard action? It's a standard action. Okay. So just...
Starting point is 00:42:16 And you stay sort of right up against the rail. Yep. And her hair is still waving around there. Right, so your hair is basically effectively ropes. Yes. And her hair is still waving around there. Your hair is basically effectively ropes if they ever break free. It only extends 10 feet, so I can't get to Urog
Starting point is 00:42:34 or the crocodile right now, right? No. If Lork or Urog break free and get to the edge, it's going to give them a plus 5 to their climb check. It's a DC 15 climb check, so that would be a DC 10 climb check if they can reach your hair. And I will say, anyone that reaches the rail is a DC 10 climb check. It's a DC 15 climb check, so that would be a DC 10 climb check if they can reach your hair. And I will say, anyone that reaches the rail is a DC 10 climb check
Starting point is 00:42:49 as long as your hair is extended. Because I'm a benevolent GM. What? Get the fuck out of here. Okay, that's my turn. Baron. Baron does a quick, before acting at all,
Starting point is 00:43:09 perception check to see if CB Captain Bloodtusk is on his way down to help me or not to try to fish him out of the water Bloodtusk saw this go down and is making his way from the pilot deck
Starting point is 00:43:25 down to the deck. But his kukri and his scimitar are still on his back, and he's more just kind of like thinking, how do I manage this situation? I don't think he knows yet, because imagine, these rounds are what, six seconds long, Skid? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:40 He doesn't quite know the severity of the situation. He's making his way down. Probably by the beginning of next round, he'll be at where you are, and then you can inform him like fishing, broke, alligators, blah, blah, blah. Are the first three nets we pulled in, presumably pulled in a net, emptied it out, pulled in a net, emptied it out. Are those other three nets available to me empty? Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Okay. And to be fair, it's pretty difficult to ascertain from a distance the severity of a multiple crocodile attack. He's so angry. I'm just going to wait and see how this plays out. I don't know. I don't know how bad of a multiple crocodile attack this is. I'm going to take my time. I want to slip on the deck. It's wet.
Starting point is 00:44:30 There's lots of blood in the water. He's running. He's trying to only 12 seconds have passed. He's running like, what is going on? And by next run he'll get there and you can inform him. He's beyond the reach of my gun. There's nothing I can practically do. So I'm just going to throw one of the empty nets and you can inform him. He's beyond the reach of my gun. There's nothing I can practically do.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So I'm just going to throw one of the empty nets and try to catch him again. Try to catch Lork, Urog, Croc. I'm not going to try to catch Urog. Fuck that guy. I just met him. I mean, you seem like a nice guy, but okay. So you're trying to throw it at Lork, who has grappled with the crocodile. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:03 So you're going to hold onto the net, throw it down, and see if he grabs onto it? Yeah. Or just try to catch him outright, because the... I mean, I know they were just fish earlier, but because it was a profession bonus rather than a strength bonus, it seemed to be,
Starting point is 00:45:21 based on how they were being treated earlier, that it would be based more on my skill than anything else. Sure. Well, the way I'm looking at it is you're rolling right now to see if you hit the space in front of Lork. And if you do, that net is there so that if Lork does escape this grapple and does pass his swim check, he can then grab that net and you can help him. That's what I'm just logistically trying to figure out. I think it's a great move. So that's what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:45:45 If it works. 13. Okay, so you throw the net out and it lands right where you last saw Lorc's body go under. So there was a net there and Baron's got it and it's laying like above your head. So if you break out of this grapple and pass a swim check to get to the surface,
Starting point is 00:46:05 you could grab this neck, and on Baron's turn, he could pull you up like a fucking shark. Your classic river shark. Like a river shark. And I say to the ocean, he was too old for this shit. It's a river.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I don't know where I am. Say to the ocean's river. Those classic saltwater rivers. All right. Well, there are sharks in this river, so I'm really confused. First of all, I'm just going to say it's Galabras' turn, and you take your squid, your Summon Monster one, and your Galabras, and then you tell me when I'm allowed to speak again.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. You think you're real special, don't you? I'm glad Galadros is on my side. Sitting up there on your replica Parthenon. Replica Parthenon. With a tiny chair on top of it.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Like in Nashville, Tennessee? Like you're the, like you're zeus himself like you're the pope of chili town well let me tell you something buster brown buster brown you're about to have to deal with an old friend yeah a dear and trusted friend. A blast from the past. His name is Gary. Yes! And he is a motherfucking celestial dolphin. Well-known enemies to un-celestial crocodiles.
Starting point is 00:47:37 They hate crocodiles. So you summon this one next to the crocodile that is grappling. Behind him that's attacking. Right, the other guy. So you can either attack with Gary or with the squid. What was the squid's name? The squid's name is Dalton. Dalton, right. So it's either Gary
Starting point is 00:47:55 or Dalton's turn. I can't believe Gary's back. Gary's back, baby. I fucking told you he would come back. Yeah, he did. To haunt your fucking dreams. I know you. I fucking told you he would come back. Yeah, he did. To haunt your fucking dreams. That's right. I know you're not going to be able to sleep tonight.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Do it for Gary. Hashtag do it for Gary. Oh, wait. Wait, before you do it, I forgot the... You got a dolphin sound? I forgot the sound effect. It's very important. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Thank you. Boom. There you go. And in the water appears a celestial dolphin. I'm Gary. 14 to hit for Dalton. Hits. Come on, Dalton. And this is the one that's attacking Lork's enemy.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Nice. Four points of damage from the bite. Nice. And he's going from the bite. Nice. And he's gonna strike with his tentacles. Come on, tentacles! No, no! Just lie, just lie. Hate, yeah, hate with the tentacles.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Tentacle misses, but you did do significant damage. Shut up. With the bite. Stop lying. Squirt bite. All right, Gary. Okay. You're supposed to stop talking until he tells you he's right.
Starting point is 00:49:12 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm trying to keep the peace. All right. By the way, that's not the sound of Gary making dolphin noises. That's the sound of his AK-47 that I sound him. He has a celestial AK-47.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Yeah, it works underwater Trust me guys. All right. He's going to slam Let the boys be boys Onyx guys 20 Gentlemen, Gary just made his first successful attack. Two points of damage. Yeah, Gary. Yeah, Gary.
Starting point is 00:49:50 So what does he do? He just kind of like comes out of the water and brings his whole body down in the alligator? Well, this is what dolphins do underwater. This is true. They actually headbutt their enemies underwater. They gain speed. Yeah, so just like very hard. So he came down low and came up to the underbelly
Starting point is 00:50:06 of the crocodile and just rammed his head. Sure. There are episodes of Flipper where Flipper attacks sharks. You're not going to get him to like anything right now. Skid's very angry. Alright, hey. I'll tell you what. These crocs have taken some damage. No thanks to
Starting point is 00:50:21 some of you. Alright, now it's Galabras' turn Alright See I didn't forget you this time You think you're real hot shit He's talking you down What are you gonna cure my wounds? I'll tell you what
Starting point is 00:50:35 Hot shit gets flushed down the toilet Where I come from I'm gonna start casting Summon Monster 1 Let's keep them coming. And now you can talk your majesty. Oh, God. I believe it is Lork's turn.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Lork, you are grappled by a crocodile who is being attacked by a squid. And prone? Lying down under water? Lying down under water? by a crocodile who was being attacked by a squid. And prone? And prone? Lying down under water? Lying down under water? Basically, the prone affected Urog. Obviously, it didn't affect you. You were already prone for all intents and purposes. But Urog's in bad shape, and so are you.
Starting point is 00:51:18 All right, here we go. What are you going to do? Does anybody have a fucking bottle cap to get this guy? He's trying to fight his way out of the grapple. He will go to, once again, fight his way out of the grapple. He will go to, once again, fight his way out of the grapple. Natural one. Come on. This is the third
Starting point is 00:51:32 D20 that I've rolled in a row. I've changed D20s each time. This is unbelievable! Natural one. So you try to break out, and when I see a natural one I think that
Starting point is 00:51:46 part of you is like just let me die no come on no no I don't believe it but like what what is happening with Lork
Starting point is 00:51:54 why is he did he drink too much last night well yeah obviously natural one skit natural one to break the grapple uh
Starting point is 00:52:02 alright so take so if you want to take like I would say you want to take an extra round of breath off or something. Yeah, take two rounds of breath off. Well, you did two before. You want to do three? Yeah. Yeah, take three rounds of breath off. Gotta recognize that natural 1. I'm just trying to play by the
Starting point is 00:52:16 rules of the game. Are you two conspiring to kill Lore? Because you guys are like, no, just take seven rounds off. It looks that way, but it's like, roll a 2. And I can't do that. Not only do I like natural ones being worse, but that is like the least worse there is. Like one more round of breath, come on.
Starting point is 00:52:33 I'm sorry I said that. I don't think that's going to be the thing that's going to kill Lorik. I shouldn't even have brought it up. Clearly Lorik isn't hoping for death. This is Lorik's... No, he's not giving up. He is fighting very hard. But I'm just trying to, story-wise,
Starting point is 00:52:46 think, what is happening to Lork? Well, he was prone. It's the prone. But seriously, the spin, that's a brutal thing to come out of. If he makes it out of it, after the spin, we're all going to be like, Lieutenant Lork, you ain't got no legs. Lork, what are we at? What are we at for rounds right now, Lork?
Starting point is 00:53:02 Pub of Lork. 19. So you've got time. But you think, Lorc? Puppet Lorc. 19. 19. All right, so you've got time. Plenty of time. But you think like, oh, Lorc's fine. Maybe not. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Maybe not. I mean, I don't think Lorc's fine. Chipping away at these crocs. Maybe you do. All right, it is Urog's turn. I forgot. A little delayed exertion. But it didn't work.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Urog. Urog. I just want to break out of this grapple. Siren scapes finest moment. Urog breaks free. Yeah! With a 23. Urog breaks free, and...
Starting point is 00:53:37 You see Gormley's hair just kind of like... Yeah, I don't think he can make a climb check, though. He broke... Actually, no. Breaking free... I think breaking free is a standard action. Okay, so Urag broke the grapple, but that's a standard action to break the grapple.
Starting point is 00:53:52 He is out. And now... Wait, he can't move, then? He cannot. He can move at a quarter speed, but he's already at the rail. He can't climb up. That climb check is another standard action.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Climbing is a move action. Oh! All right, so he's going to start the climb Which is now DC 10 instead of DC 15 For him That's huge, Gormley How does your body withstand All this weight on it?
Starting point is 00:54:16 Or is the hair just The hair has its own strength Guys, Urag breaks the grapple Of the crocodile and climbs halfway up There you go. Like five feet off Gormley's hair. Gormley is like bracing himself. Rapunzel, Rapunzel.
Starting point is 00:54:30 He is slightly, you would say, he's out of the grasp of the crocodile. But what does that mean? That means now Lork is alone with two crocodiles. Speaking of which, Crocodile 1 attacks, or excuse me, attempts to death roll Lork again.
Starting point is 00:54:47 First to maintain the grapple. 28, maintains the grapple. Does, again, minimum damage. Nice. Does only five points of damage. And you are still knock prone. Oh, crap. God forbid.
Starting point is 00:55:06 So imagine this is all happening in real time, just spitting with your body, Lork. Chipping away at damage. It's crazy. And then Crocodile 2 begins making its way towards Lork as well, but does not attack. They're basically, imagine two dogs that you threw meat at.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Attack of opportunity from a little dolphin I call Gary. He goes away from Gary and, yep. 14? 14 hits. Three damage. Gary, the celestial dolphin.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Kills him. Two hits in a row. Kills him. Kills him. Gary straight up murders him. Kills him dead. Round four. You guys just see... You know, for a second I thought that this
Starting point is 00:55:54 was a little like the gelatinous cube combat where I was taken out of it for the whole time. But then I remembered that this is way more dangerous than the gelatinous cube combat. Yeah, you're dreaming of a gelatinous cube. Yeah, I wish I could just be paralyzed than the gelatinous cube combat. Yeah, you're dreaming of a gelatinous cube, right? Yeah, I wish I could just be paralyzed in a gelatinous cube. Gormley.
Starting point is 00:56:13 All right, so here's what I want to do. Are you going to dive into the water? No. Okay. Don't forget, Urog is holding onto my hair. He's holding onto your hair. Gormley's spectral hand is going to dive into the water to the crocodile attacking Lork.
Starting point is 00:56:29 I'm nervous. I'm sorry. It's not going to touch the crocodile. It's going to touch Lork and going to cast Enlarge Person on Lork. Oh, there we go. Holy shit. That should turn the tables, right?
Starting point is 00:56:42 That's what I'm talking about. Where does he touch him? Sensuously on whatever is not being bitten. The buttocks. The green buttocks. That's an erotic zone. Holy shit. In his bathing suit area.
Starting point is 00:56:54 So what is it? Is it doubles in size? Doubles in size. Doubles in size and your weight multiplies by eight. Yeah. Holy shit. Plus two to strength, which is the reason I gave it to you, because that helps with swim and breaking
Starting point is 00:57:06 the grapple, right? Yeah, but also, how could he hold the grapple if I doubled in size? That's a good point. Yeah. Let's just say it's
Starting point is 00:57:13 You could also just wade to the shore, I would think. Or just sink like a rock. Yeah. Well, it's up to you, but come on. No, I think the crocodile
Starting point is 00:57:21 his jaws can maintain. I would say it's going to take a minus to its maintained grapple for sure. All right. Wait, wait come on. No, I think the crocodile his jaws can maintain? I would say it's going to take a minus to its maintained grapple, for sure. Wait, wait, wait. If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, the creature attains the maximum possible size and may make a strength
Starting point is 00:57:35 check to burst any enclosures in the process. If it fails, it is constrained without harm until the enclosing is. You know what? Yeah. So say you were in a room that was 10 feet high, okay? A room? A room.
Starting point is 00:57:48 And you enlarge person, and that brings you up to 12 feet. Then you roll a strength check to see if you burst through the ceiling of that room. Big chunk. It's going to be really fun if we say, Lorik, you roll a strength check
Starting point is 00:58:00 to see if you grow larger than the bite of this. The jaws. The jaws of this crocodile. Yeah, man. Give it a shot. All right, I'm going to say DC 15. DC 15, then I'm adding two to my strength?
Starting point is 00:58:14 Yeah. Okay. To break the jaws. DC 15 failed. God damn it. Jesus Christ. In consecutive rounds, I've rolled seven, three, two, one, four. Those are my last four D20 rolls.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Sometimes the dice don't roll. Maybe try using a different die. I've tried three different ones. That would have been awesome. Throw them all away. You still get the most things on your turn. Yeah, but I'm still enlarged. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:58:44 So, Lor, you just see, like, Baron, you're on deck, and you just see this, what Laura Lorca is grow. Huge. And you think, oh, that's another alligator. Looks green. Speaking of Baron, you're up. Can Baron tie this netting down to something so he can pull Lorca in once he grabs it?
Starting point is 00:59:07 You could... So right now you have the netting right where Lork is, and you're just kind of waiting for him to break free so you can help him bring up. But if you want to do something else, you can, as a free action, you can kind of fasten the net to the deck. How about Lork
Starting point is 00:59:25 has not gone this turn yet. He has not. So I'm going to hold my action until Lork goes and if he doesn't, I will take that free action and then do something else. Now if he does break free, are you going to... Yeah, I'm going to yank him out. So those are my two conditions. If he breaks free,
Starting point is 00:59:42 I'm going to yank him back and if he does not yank free, free action, tie it down and do something else. I feel what you're putting down. Galabras, all six of your characters. All right. You think... No, I'm just kidding. So Dalton, this is his last round.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Dalton the Celestial Squid. So he is going to try to make the most of it. And first try to bite. 11. Miss. And then try to... Come on, tentacles. I need those tentacles.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Tentacle him. Huge. Nice. That's a hit. Nice. Four points of damage. Okay. And now he will attempt to grapple him.
Starting point is 01:00:30 25. The crocodile is grappled by the screw. Yeah! And he releases Lork. Yes! All right. It wouldn't make sense that, like, I mean, it's up to him on his turn, but he's probably going to release Lork and try to get out of this grapple yeah thrash wildly so the the
Starting point is 01:00:50 squid did did damage and grappled the crack yep Gary as this is won't will swim over to the other crocodile and attempt to headbutt him and fumble. Oh, Gary. He's like the Ryan Tannehill of dolphins. Cutter. I guess Gary is more emotionally disturbed than we thought.
Starting point is 01:01:22 He's a cutter. You take one point of strength bleed damage. So basically Gary went to attack and grazed himself on one of the croc spikes. Just started listening to Smith's albums. What's the point?
Starting point is 01:01:38 But Lork's dead anyway. He might get cheered up. You know why? Because he's got a little bit of company. In the form of Felicia, the other celestial dolphin. Wait, does Gary
Starting point is 01:01:54 have a paramour? I don't know what their relationship is. I don't pry. Felicia appears on the opposite side of the other dolphin. So flanking the croc. Gary and Felicia flanking the opposite side of the other dolphin. So flanking the croc. Gary and Felicia flanking. And misses.
Starting point is 01:02:10 But she's out there. She's real. She's out there. Yep. And Galabras. I love how Galabras has populated the sea with his monster. This is amazing. Galabras will once again start casting
Starting point is 01:02:25 Summon Monster 1. This has to be your last one, right? It is. Amazing. Squid, Dalton the squid, Gary the celestial dolphin, and Felicia the celestial dolphin. Who knows what could be next?
Starting point is 01:02:42 Could it be Lork's death? Lork, you're up. Lork, I misspoke. You're still locked in that grapple. Right. You can hold it. Because it's not until his round that he can release it. I got excited by the moment, but like, right now there's a squid grappling a crocodile grappling a half-orc.
Starting point is 01:02:58 I'm going to go back to the first die that made me fall in the water. Why not just hold until his turn? Until whose turn? The crocodile's. He'll release you. Because it's unrealistic. He's not going to know that. He's going to continue to fight against the water. Why not just hold until his turn? Until whose turn? The crocodile's. He'll release you. Because it's unrealistic. He's not going to know that. He's going to continue to fight against the thing. But he's bigger now. He's doubled in size, so he's going to
Starting point is 01:03:13 pull himself out of there. Oh, there we go. Maybe. Maybe. So it's a 19 against its CMD. Looks like Lork just broke the grip. Must have been a little help from the squid. Giant Lork.
Starting point is 01:03:30 I'll get by with a little help from a squid. Giant Lork breaks free. Right. And now swim check. Shut your liver. Plus two to strike. I could just wait.
Starting point is 01:03:40 How deep is the water? How deep is the water? I have to get to the... It's more about it being rough water, so it's a DC 15 swim check to just... You broke free, but now you've got to like... But it goes swim to the surface. So plus two to your swim.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Yeah, plus two to your swim. Natural 18. There you go. 24. So you've took two death rolls. You finally break free With the help of Dalton the celestial squid Twice the size I was
Starting point is 01:04:07 And then You get air And you reset Nice Nice And I grab the netting Because he held his action For me
Starting point is 01:04:16 Yeah Right So Barry I start reeling him in You start reeling him in But I'm eight times my weight Just being Trying to be fair
Starting point is 01:04:24 Right so you get a roll Strength check Can I You already said earlier I could roll my Fisherman check against it You start reeling him in. But I'm eight times my weight, just trying to be fair. Right, so you've got to roll a strength check. You already said earlier I could roll my fisherman check against it as opposed to strength. Yeah, imagine he's just a freshwater shark. But you're hauling in. 25. You pull Lork all the way up to Gormley's head. Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Oh my god, he's just like... Urog rolls a natural 20, climbs up on deck. Yeah! And now the crocodiles are basically on Lork's next turn. He climbs up on deck, and the crocodiles are left to deal with a celestial squid, two celestial dolphins, and... Another celestial dolphin. What are they called? A menagerie? two celestial dolphins, and... Another celestial dolphin. It's a whole...
Starting point is 01:05:07 What do they call it? A menagerie? A pod. A pod, a pod. That's it. And they just snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, and eventually kill the dolphins. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:17 I'm glad we didn't play all those roles out. Yeah. That would have been the worst part of the podcast. Sorry, Gary, Dalton, and Felicia. Wait, what was the name of your third one? I don't have to say because he didn't show up. That's kind of bullshit. He or she.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Colin. Just wait. All right, nice job. Holy shit. That could have been really bad. That was the first morning. You just thought it would be a nice. Baron was all first morning. You just thought it would be a nice,
Starting point is 01:05:47 Baron was all excited to have a couple beers and fish. Nope. Leslie, nope. You just fucking fall into the water.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Almost, you get death rolled. Lork, you're up here soaking wet. Urag is laying on his back like, and I imagine Lork
Starting point is 01:06:05 you're not feeling great either and Ben Vereen is coming up to you and just just kind of peeing on your leg he's gotta be he had to be freaking out he's very untrained
Starting point is 01:06:13 the entire time he almost couldn't do anything like if you were closer to the shore Ben Vereen probably would have jumped off and just ran off into the woods right
Starting point is 01:06:22 but he the Wolverine knew he had nowhere else to go even with his tiny intelligence that it couldn't jump into the water and Right. But the wolverine knew, even with its tiny intelligence, that it couldn't jump into the water and swim away. It is smarter than most animals. It's got a two intelligence. Smarter than the average animal.
Starting point is 01:06:33 You've got to give credit to these fucking animals, man. The fucking badasses. So Lork starts to explain, like, it was crazy. I saw a squid that came to help me and a dolphin. Oh, wait a minute. Calabrus, was that you? I'll never tell. No, yes, it was me.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Don't be coy. It was me. You recognize Gary, surely? Yes, he's got that scar. He'd be terribly hurt if you didn't know it was him. So, yeah, what are you guys doing? What happens now? Oh god. I'm going to investigate this railing.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Yeah. Alright, do you have like a craft carpentry or ships? I have engineering. Knowledge engineering? Yeah. I call Baron over and say, you're a crafty salt. You and your dwarfen folk. Take a look at this
Starting point is 01:07:25 This seems very suspicious I roll a A 21 on knowledge engineering With a DC 20 Knowledge engineering check You realize that this broken rail Didn't just happen because there was
Starting point is 01:07:40 A couple new guys Working the fisher Fisherman's nets There's fucking sabotage on this boat because there was a couple new guys working the fishermen's nets. There's fucking sabotage on this boat. Motherfucker. No. No.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Who did it? Maybe we'll find out next week. We're already there? Yeah. Jesus. Fuck you. Well, we called it, so I think we should all get a bottle cap. Everybody.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Everyone. I don't want this bottle cap. You know I think we should all get a bottle cap. Everybody. Everyone. You know what? I will give out one bottle cap to Gary of the Celestial. Gary, you can hold me to that, Gary. I'm Gary. Outro Music
