[0.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[30.6s] You emerge from a path. It looks like a boulder-strewn pasture. Sheep graze in the pasture,
[37.8s] tended by a pair of cyclops. The cyclops continue towards you and scoops up a small
[43.4s] boulder from the ground and heaves the boulder 100 feet. Both cyclops then turn and face you.
[50.5s] You go pick up boulder, throw farther, and then you pass.
[56.0s] So I've got it in my hands and then I put it over my head and hop like a step and a half forward
[62.2s] and give it the old heave-ho towards Thaddeus. You did it puny people!
[68.6s] We did it! Yay! So what ways to the tower? You got to go that way, but wait, but wait,
[75.4s] hold on. One of the cyclops goes and picks up another boulder and smashes it down on top
[81.8s] of the rock that you just threw. He reaches down into the rubble and hands you a topaz gemstone.
[88.4s] You can go now I guess. You end up back in the sundial room with the sundial shadows
[95.4s] still pointing to A and C. The head you see a bubbling fountain. Large bright flowers
[102.9s] grow in the hedges on both sides of the fountain and each blossom shimmering in the light.
[108.6s] Guys it's so pretty in here. Makes me think it's probably poison. You're so cynical.
[113.0s] If only we had people that knew nature. Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. We are a D&D
[119.3s] fifth edition actual play podcast and I'm your dungeon master Russ More and with me today
[123.3s] is Amy More. Yeah I am. Hot stuff Amy More. That's what they call me now and I play Thea
[129.4s] Amastasia. And also Carla Johnson. I didn't know we were coming up with sassy nicknames.
[135.5s] I don't have one. Chickletteeth is mine. It's not sexy but it is accurate.
[143.2s] I play new Laura Moonbrook. I have big teeth guys. I have big teeth that's what I'm saying.
[149.0s] And Tom Laird. The Bearded Wonder. Sure. That's accurate. And I play Flint Firebeard.
[157.4s] Wow what a trio we have. Hot stuff. Chickletteeth and The Bearded Wonder.
[163.7s] I don't know why it took us three years to come up with a good name for our truth.
[168.5s] We're excellent at this. We didn't either. We did not come. I forced Spencer to come up with
[174.8s] the names. That's true. You fucking sideswiped him out of nowhere and forced him to do our
[180.4s] dirty work for us. That was amazing. How's it going guys? It's going really good. So good.
[188.1s] Off to a good start I think. Yeah for more of this good start. More of Chickletteeth and Hot
[194.9s] Stuff and Bearded Wonder. And if you like the show. Like what you're hearing. I don't know
[203.3s] why you would. You can get more of it over on Patreon.com slash dumb dragoncast. Which I mean
[210.5s] if you want more. I mean we've been we've upped ourselves to weekly podcasts. So
[215.4s] I mean. Hey wait no come back. Where are you going? No wait I'm sorry. Russ they've already
[220.3s] dragged the file over to the trash can. It's too late. Patreon.com is where we live slash dumb
[226.3s] dragoncast. And over there we have some pretty amazing stuff. Like extra bonus monthly episodes.
[233.2s] That's how you say that. Yep extra monthly bonus episodes. Where we don't only play D&D.
[238.9s] Because there's a lot of D&D out there. Which we I mean I think we do it pretty
[242.1s] good. A little bit. We do it okay. We have fun. We have a good time. We try our best. But you
[249.4s] know there's often a need to see how other game systems work. And if you want to see how other
[253.8s] game systems shouldn't be run. Perhaps you come listen to our Fatecore game. Let us teach you
[261.3s] not how to play Fate. Let us show you what Fatecore isn't. We try really hard. Hey we're
[267.3s] having a great time. It is super fun so far. We're telling a great story. So it's more of a story
[274.1s] thing going on over there with the occasional roll a dice. I don't think I've rolled a dice
[280.0s] yet in that game. I don't think you have. It is just. You've been on like conference calls
[285.0s] and shit. I know. Roll to see if the internet connection works. It's some fun. It is a fun
[292.1s] collaborative storytelling exercise and I love it. Honestly I think it's great even if it's not
[297.9s] Fate. Oh yeah same here. I'm liking the way it's going. It's very fun. So we have that going on
[303.0s] monthly. We just last week released our first episode one. We did two previous episodes here
[309.3s] on 0.5 because again it takes us a while to kind of get things rolling. And then even
[313.5s] though we had two episodes previously to learn the rules and set it all up. We did not use them.
[319.3s] You'll notice for episode one. Yeah. We're underselling it. It's great.
[324.8s] You'll love it. It's very good. I think our character work is lovely. If it is.
[329.3s] Fuck it guys. Let's play D&D. D&D. What? Why isn't that a thing? Is that a meme?
[339.2s] Celine D&D. I think it should be. So previously you guys met some cyclopses.
[345.2s] They were super nice. They were not mean. They were pretty good. We did some amazing throwing.
[351.9s] We tried some innovative solutions. We did. We tried science you guys. And we didn't do well
[358.6s] at science but that's okay because then we had magic and that worked better. I love that in
[363.8s] this mystical game. In this world where magic and mystical creatures exist. We're like Tom's
[371.3s] like, we're going to build a fucking simple machine. There's going to be a fulcrum. We've
[375.4s] got some leverage. This is going to happen. I thought maybe Russ was doing a whole theme with
[380.5s] this with the maze and it was going to be a different simple machine for each one.
[386.2s] And I can't remember what any of them are except screw was the only other one I could
[390.8s] remember. Okay, good. So we've got three. We're going to screw in one of these rooms.
[395.4s] There we go. We'll leave. So we got a topaz after we threw a rock. And then we went back into A
[406.1s] thinking maybe it'll change a shadow but we've walked into a beautiful botanical garden.
[413.2s] So yeah ahead of you, you see, I'll just reiterate here, a bubbling fountain filling
[418.8s] the pathway. Amazing. That's excellent Foley work. Thank you. Large bright flowers grow on the hedges
[426.2s] on both sides of the fountain. There are seven on each side, 14 flowers in total, each blossom
[432.2s] shimmering in the light. The air smells particularly fresh and sweet here. And as you
[437.5s] have stepped forward to inspect them, you notice that it gets its shimmer from a pearl set into
[444.1s] each of the flowers. Can I do anything about these flowers? Yeah, sorry, Carla. No, I was
[449.7s] just gonna say the same thing. Like, can I do a nature check or I mean flower check?
[454.9s] I'd like to roll for flower for flower. 16 not amazing, but eight.
[463.1s] But see I rolled for garden and you rolled for flower so I don't know.
[472.4s] Amy, a flower eats you. You're dead. Yeah, I mean you're inspecting them. So we know they're
[478.3s] flowers. 16 isn't terrible. Flint and Thea know they're flowers. Thaddeus is also like, yep, flowers.
[486.2s] Nularaaaa and Flamikins, however, they don't know the specific flower. Like it looks like a weird
[495.4s] kind of flower. It reminds you of some sort of carnivorous type flower that you would have seen
[502.9s] in the in the natural world. Not in a fuck them up pocket dimension or whatever you said
[508.6s] it was last time. Yeah, something like that. Fuck with us. Do these kind of look like
[514.0s] Venus fly traps? Or more flowery? More flowery. How big is the flower? Because I'm picturing
[523.1s] something very large, but maybe that's not accurate. Like the actual petals. They're
[527.9s] fairly large. How large would you say? Oh, very big. Russell's holding his hands
[534.0s] approximately 14 inches apart. 14 inches? I don't know, I can't. That's like two feet.
[540.3s] It's true. One of the hands is cut off, so I'm going to say it's closer to about two and a half
[544.2s] feet. I'd say they're probably that two and a half-ish. How big would you say the center
[549.0s] of the flower? And is it hollow? And like inside? Yeah, there's like a pocket within
[554.4s] the center of the flower. Is there liquid? I look, I stay back, but I look. Is there liquid?
[562.0s] Guys, it's really beautiful in here, but I'm getting like a super uneasy feeling.
[565.8s] Yeah, it almost, like the fact that it is beautiful is almost creepier than if it was
[572.9s] creepy. I agree. Hey, Flaming Kens, put your hand in that flower. Not a fucking chance.
[580.7s] Is there anything on the ground? Like is there any like dirt and like is there a pebble? Can
[588.3s] I throw a pebble into one of the flowers? I want to see if it goes. Sure. If not,
[594.1s] I'll throw a penny in because we don't fucking care. You don't have pennies. Pennies don't exist
[598.1s] in coppers. I've got a lot of coppers and the world's going to fucking end, so let's spend
[603.3s] them if you got them. You can't take that in advance of the inevitable rise of Tiamat.
[607.0s] I'm throwing some fucking coppers in these flowers. I mean, this pathway looks fairly
[611.2s] clean, so if you're going to throw something, it would be something of your own. Okay,
[615.3s] I take out a copper and I like kind of lob it into the middle of one of the flowers
[622.2s] to see if it gives it an old chomp. You toss it up in there and it lands into the pocket in
[629.3s] the center and I mean, there's movement of something landing in the flower, but it doesn't
[634.6s] appear to move of its own volition. Right. I mean, that's not like meat, so it probably
[641.5s] isn't even that interesting. It's probably a dumb, probably a waste of a copper, but
[647.0s] it's fine. I'm feeling nihilistic, so it doesn't matter. Can we, are we, so there's seven on each
[653.8s] side. Are we standing kind of at the beginning of them? Like we need to walk past them to
[657.9s] approach the fountain. It's like a hallway of flowers, right? Yeah, that's what I was picturing.
[661.0s] Yeah, exactly. So your pathway is about five feet wide, hedges right up to it, flowers
[667.5s] protruding out a little bit, and then yeah, the fountain about halfway through this, so
[672.5s] what, 20 feet? I tell Guacamole to fly above the hedges, so she's not going to like waddle
[679.4s] through with us. Okay, so she's going above. She's too big. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so sure.
[686.6s] Guacamole flies up and she disappears. Oh no. Guac!
[694.5s] Can you call her back, see if she can hear you out of the pocket dimension?
[698.2s] I screamed Guacamole! You don't hear anything. Oh my god. Oh my god!
[706.6s] Um, should we go back to the, the, the, the sundial room and see if she's in there?
[716.0s] Like if that's like the entrance to all the pocket dimensions?
[723.0s] Because we've only just walked in, right?
[725.4s] That's what we're gonna do. We can't just do nothing. She can't just disappear.
[731.3s] Or I run back out. You guys can stay in there. I run back out.
[737.4s] It takes you about a minute and a half, but you enter back into the same room that you
[741.6s] just left. Um, with them again? Yeah. Son of a bitch! Oh god. Guys!
[750.2s] Okay, we gotta solve this real quick so we can get back there. We can find her.
[755.9s] We're excellent under pressure, so this is no problem. Yes. I take my, um, I take my,
[763.4s] I take my scimitar and I, and I cut one of the flowers off the motherfucking, I'm mad,
[770.2s] off the bush. Uh, it springs out at you and tries to attack you. Oh, it tries. Uh, so you-
[776.6s] Can I go into a rage if I'm not a barbarian? Because I feel like that's where I'm at right
[780.9s] now. Remember when Hedwig dies? Spoiley, Hedwig dies. It's like when someone,
[787.5s] you get that adrenaline and a mom, like, lifts a car off a baby. Yeah, totally. Exactly. You have
[791.8s] that, like, adrenaline rage. I'm gonna fight this flower with the adrenaline of a mom lifting
[796.0s] a car off a baby. Okay, so you gotta roll some initiatives here, ladies and gents. Do I
[803.0s] have to roll initiative? I took first swing. Did I not get any damage? Like, come on.
[808.3s] No one was expecting it. No one was expecting it, so they must just take my damage, yes?
[813.0s] True. I mean, the last time we saw Thea use a sword was so long ago that really no one
[817.0s] was expecting it. Yeah, really no one was expecting it. Okay, so what did you,
[820.3s] what did you hit it with? My scimitar. Okay, now what did, what did you roll?
[824.6s] I'm rolling it again. Oh fuck. That's it. Two. I rerolled it. It was a one the first time.
[832.0s] It was a one the second time. If you put those together, that's a 12.
[834.9s] What? I like it. So roll for initiative. That's math. Roll for initiative. I got a 12.
[846.0s] That is a 20. 26. What order is everybody, so you were last in because you left and had come
[852.2s] back in. I think I probably shoved through to cut a flower. So just like the first flower
[856.8s] you saw? Yeah. Okay, so you attacked one. I'm gonna rage. And what's the order that
[861.9s] everybody else is in? Because it's five feet, so you're basically single file at this point.
[866.7s] Right. I guess Donnie and I can be like at the front. It's fine. I turned. Don't let Donnie
[873.4s] fly. So we'll say you're at the fountain or did you go past the fountain? I thought the
[878.7s] fountain was much further. No, it's about halfway into the room. So about 20 feet at
[882.6s] the 20 foot mark. I guess, well, we hadn't made it to the fountain yet, I don't think
[887.8s] because I think we were literally we were because I had said like, Hey, maybe we should
[892.7s] go look at the fountain. And then guacamole disappeared and all hell broke loose. So
[897.6s] I guess we just waited while Fia ran out and ran back. Sure. Just running for a minute. We
[902.9s] were all just standing there. I was actually kind of concerned that I'd run out and get
[907.2s] back into the sundae room. Maybe guacamole would be in there. Maybe she wouldn't. But
[911.2s] then I would go back into the room and we would be a different room. And now we're split
[915.0s] party and I'm like kicking my own ass. Would have been would have been bad.
[920.3s] I guess I knew Laura and Donnie.
[923.4s] Guys, I'm naturally upset. I am a few feet into the room, like we'll say halfway to the
[929.8s] fountain. Okay. And then we'll say Flamikins Kins is about there and we'll say Thaddeus
[936.6s] walked beyond the fountain. Okay, so this this flower goes to bite you. Okay. With its
[943.3s] flower mouth. Not not you specifically. You bring it. Yeah. Yeah. I'll bite all you
[950.2s] motherfuckers. And it gets a 19. Yeah, whatever. Okay, so that's two D eight. I'm
[956.6s] gonna rip the pearl out of its throat. So that's seven. So that's 10 13 piercing
[963.8s] damage. And if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 constitution.
[970.4s] Oh, yeah, this is poison. So so never mind. You don't get poisoned. But keep that in
[976.0s] mind for the rest of you. They also don't get well, I'm resistant. So at least I'll have a
[981.9s] yeah, a shot at it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. New Laura, you're up first. Is this plant magic?
[989.8s] It's walking. I'm gonna say yes. Well, it's just sprung out from the wall. It's
[995.2s] not necessarily walking. No, it's not. Imagine it like a Bellsprout. Oh, it's not magic.
[1004.1s] It's not magic. It's not it's not walking. It's still attached to the edge. It just like
[1009.4s] really aggressive flower. Yep. Okay. Well, fine, then I don't have advantage against it.
[1014.6s] God. Can you murder anyway for guacamole? I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try my very best
[1019.0s] to kill all these beautiful flowers. I am going to attack it with Dragon Slayer.
[1028.4s] But I only rolled a 13. But they're plants. They can't be that time. Yeah, it's a plant.
[1034.1s] It doesn't have. It's not good. Not good. Oh, wow. Well, I have another attack.
[1041.9s] And then that time it'll be a 25. So how about that is that is better.
[1046.6s] Yeah. Damn right. It is like barely, but like not even like a thing. So you are attacking.
[1052.5s] So are you attacking the plant to the north of you or to the south of I guess to the north.
[1057.5s] All right. So you're attacking plant five. Okay. So that is 13 damage. Okay. Then my friend
[1066.9s] Donnie. Oh, yeah. Can you breathe fire? He will have to. That's a great question. He's
[1074.5s] going to need to roll to see if he can recharge. And he rolled a five. So he's recharged. Perfect.
[1084.8s] It's a lot of pews. I know he's pretty excited. So he gonna go with fire breath.
[1094.6s] So that's a five foot line 30 feet, I think. Right. Yes. And so I learned last time he just
[1099.7s] can they just roll against it, right? Yeah, like he doesn't roll to do it. He just does it.
[1105.8s] Yeah. Okay. And then it is 4d10. So they need to. So which sorry, he's like,
[1114.0s] is he pointing this at a flower? Or is he pointing it like down the corridor?
[1118.4s] Because it's five feet wide, right? So his breath would in theory, encompass.
[1123.5s] Yes. But it's a cone. So we'd want to like not hit his friends. So it would kind of depend
[1132.9s] where the other folks are. So away from me. So I guess he'd be facing he's with me, but he'd be
[1138.6s] facing south. Okay, so the only the only other person there is Thaddeus. And he's on the
[1145.8s] other side of the fountain. You're on the east side there on the west side, then south. And
[1150.0s] I guess as many as you say he can try and hit is how many sure try and hit because you're okay.
[1155.8s] We'll say you can probably hit three. Okay, so they need to do DC 13.
[1165.3s] Yes, I believe that is correct. First, they're they're plants. They don't they don't they're
[1171.3s] not particularly dexterous. So they take it. Yeah. Oh, my God.
[1180.9s] I've never I don't think I've ever rolled four dice before. I did not know what was going to
[1185.0s] happen. Got away from me. I'm going to reroll this one because it landed on my lap. The other
[1191.8s] ones landed on the table, but seems like a story. That is 10 22 damage. So these three
[1202.5s] EFG are going to take some more fire damage than you thought that that breath should have
[1208.4s] dealt sweet. I don't think he's going to do anything else because he can't I don't want him
[1213.4s] like he's not going to bite it. Like that would be like putting his face on something trying
[1217.8s] to bite him like sure like two dogs like when they're play fighting, you know, so he's he's
[1223.8s] going to be happy with his wicked fire damage. And that's great. Yeah, Donnie, let's lose his
[1229.4s] fire breath and narrowly missing Thaddeus. It's like spicy as the as the plants kind of
[1237.1s] let a planty shriek like as they burn and the hedges catch fire. And now it's Flint's turn.
[1245.1s] What's kind of in my way if I'm looking down the line, Russ? You've got Thea to your west,
[1252.0s] Flamikins Kins to your east. And then you've got a flower on either side,
[1257.4s] north or south of you. And then likewise, there are two flowers by Thea two flowers by
[1263.5s] Flamikins Kins. So if I was to look down the east and maybe angle a little bit off of who
[1271.4s] was it? You said Flamikins Kins that was east of me. Yep. All right. If I was to angle
[1277.9s] off of her a little bit but in towards the plants, would I be able to lightning
[1282.3s] breath down the line and hit one or two of those? What's the is that five foot
[1289.0s] it's the same same one. Yeah. Okay. I'd say you'd probably give her like a heads up to maybe duck
[1294.3s] or something. Well, she's like three feet. I guess you're four feet. I mean, I'm not I'm
[1297.8s] almost I'm like close to five feet, but not not quite there. So I give her kind of like a
[1303.0s] heads up to like get down. She turns and looks and sees the white sparkling lights come
[1309.8s] forth from your ma. And what do I got to do? Or you got to do? Can you double check
[1315.0s] that in the player's manual? I don't have my player's manual. Yeah. Five foot by 30
[1319.3s] foot line. Deck save. Deck save. Sorry about that. Even better. Nothing happens to them.
[1325.6s] Well, I mean, no, nothing happens to them. They don't move. Right. I was like, what
[1331.0s] they're they're susceptible to fire but immune to lightning. That seems crazy. I mean,
[1334.7s] lightning seems pretty hot, but no one can explain magic. It's magic. So I mean,
[1339.4s] it's it's unknown. That kind of sounds like science. Hit me with your breath shot.
[1344.6s] All right. So it's a two d six plus four. So it's four and six is ten plus four is
[1353.5s] fourteen. We'll say with your angle, you're able to hit three. So you hit three. How
[1358.1s] much? How many? Fourteen. Is that what I said? Fourteen. Fourteen. Yeah. So it was
[1363.8s] a four six and then a four bonus. Breaking a little heart like the one in you.
[1368.1s] A very slight singe appears on these these beautiful flowers and it is the flowers.
[1375.6s] Don't worry, guys. It's not the damage on the outside that's bad with lightning. It's
[1378.7s] the damage on the inside. Yeah. Cooks the inside, right? Yeah. That's how lightning
[1383.1s] works, right? Yep. The flowers to the north's turn. So plant two, which is directly in front
[1389.3s] of Flint, extends tentacles. And that's oh, that's a crit fail. So it's like
[1395.4s] caressing you and you're like, oh, yeah, you're my buddy. Don't hit me with that terrible
[1401.7s] lightning with your best shot. Russ, come on, we've been over this. The one as
[1406.1s] Flamikins Kins ducks out of the way. One of them goes to bite her with a twenty five.
[1415.3s] And that's two to eight plus three piercing damage. Oh, geez. So that's going to be
[1422.3s] eight piercing damage and she has to make a saving throw of the constitution variety.
[1429.4s] So that's going to be fifty four and a constitution saving throw, which is plus seven.
[1435.1s] Yeah, way to go to a solid con. So that's a 19, which passes. So she. I mean, if
[1443.6s] a 19 didn't pass, I would have some serious questions about these fucking plants.
[1447.8s] Don't let him bite you. That's the thing. So then that one can't reach Nulara.
[1453.1s] You are close to number five and it's going to try to tentacle you. That's a 13.
[1458.4s] So number five is alive. Number six is going to attack Thaddeus for an 18.
[1465.3s] Mr. Rimes with his tentacles and he is going to take 13 damage total and he's medium.
[1473.2s] And he is possibly grabbed. Yeah, he's grabbed. He's snappled.
[1478.2s] Flammacan's turn. She's like, oh, motherfucker. Flammacan's hurls a bubble of acid towards
[1485.1s] the one that's closest to her that just struck her.
[1492.2s] And it's 17, 17, 17 acid damage. I'm going to be a goblin sometime.
[1499.7s] That was two number. Thea's turn. Finally.
[1507.2s] Right. Well, I'm going to produce flame.
[1511.4s] That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to flame the shit out of whatever's in front of me.
[1515.2s] So you got one to the north, one to the south, then one to the north bit you.
[1518.1s] Can you have flame coming out of both hands like both ways?
[1522.7s] I think it's just one. I don't know. That's too bad.
[1525.0s] But it is 3D8, so that's OK.
[1528.7s] You could look like you were spinning around like you were in a John Woo action movie,
[1532.2s] but instead of bullets and oozes, it would just be flames.
[1535.4s] So it's a 10 foot radius. So how many of these can I hit?
[1540.0s] The flame you shed said bright light within 10 feet.
[1544.0s] If you're just casting as light, it's 10 feet.
[1545.0s] No, I want to attack with the flame. Sorry.
[1548.2s] So it's a ranged spell attack.
[1550.1s] I can hurl the flame at a creature within 30 feet.
[1552.9s] So you got to attack.
[1555.4s] 23.
[1556.2s] Yes, you hit.
[1557.4s] OK. Wow, this one went shitty, but the other two went OK.
[1567.4s] 10 fire damage.
[1568.6s] OK, you release your fire right into the mouth of this plant and it goes,
[1574.1s] but it's like, fuck you, if plants could speak.
[1578.2s] I wish I had more than one attack, you guys.
[1580.7s] It's going to dictate whatever character comes next.
[1584.4s] Multi attack.
[1586.5s] Thaddeus's turn.
[1587.3s] Do something fiery. Thaddeus, light it up.
[1590.4s] What about like a magic missile situation?
[1594.2s] Yeah, magic missile.
[1596.2s] Because that's got forced damage and they seem to be
[1599.5s] handling like elemental damage pretty easily.
[1602.6s] So maybe a different type of damage might be helpful.
[1606.5s] Crush them.
[1608.3s] OK, that works too.
[1610.7s] Yeah, OK, I'm going to.
[1614.4s] Do you have music in your headphones?
[1616.2s] I wish.
[1617.5s] Russ is just like.
[1618.6s] He's bebopping, scatting, having a good time.
[1622.0s] Yeah, OK, I'm going to cast magic missile and I'm going to throw
[1625.2s] all three bolts at the one that attacked Thaddeus.
[1629.4s] So that should be.
[1633.2s] I'm guessing this is a ranged attack spell.
[1636.2s] Magic missile just happens.
[1637.5s] Oh, it just happens?
[1638.2s] Beautiful spells that just motherfucking hits.
[1641.0s] That's even better than I should have got more D4s to roll all these with,
[1644.8s] but that's OK.
[1646.1s] 12 damage to the one that attacked him.
[1648.4s] Yeah, OK.
[1650.6s] Now it's the plants to the south's turn.
[1655.5s] Thea, you get.
[1657.6s] Tentacled.
[1659.3s] No, I don't.
[1660.4s] For a 19.
[1661.5s] OK, yeah, I do.
[1663.0s] OK, maybe.
[1664.6s] Six bludgeoning and three piercing.
[1669.4s] Plus you must make Guinness.
[1671.9s] You must try to prevent yourself from being grappled.
[1676.1s] By its tentacles.
[1678.4s] That protrude from the head for eight.
[1682.2s] You are just a plant restraint until the grapple ends.
[1689.2s] Your heightened emotions aren't working for you.
[1691.6s] Unfortunately, they're not.
[1693.3s] Neither are my roles.
[1695.3s] That is a also a tentacle attack with a 25.
[1702.1s] That's going to be 10 bludgeoning for piercing.
[1705.6s] Make yourself a strength saving throw.
[1707.9s] Can do.
[1710.8s] That is a 21.
[1712.4s] You are not grappled.
[1713.8s] Actually, it's a 25 because I always forget to add the extra bonus to the
[1718.5s] actual saving throws and always just add my regular bonus to them.
[1722.5s] But you've you've seen behind the DM's curtain.
[1724.8s] You can beat it with a 21.
[1726.6s] Excellent.
[1728.4s] Flamikins Kins on the other hand.
[1731.2s] I just need to remember to do things right.
[1734.0s] 19 with a bite at Flamikins Kins.
[1737.6s] That's my whole D&D story.
[1739.6s] 14.
[1740.1s] I just need to remember how to do things right.
[1743.3s] Although I have to say, since we had that mechanics episode and I
[1746.6s] redid my character sheet, everything is so much easier to see now.
[1749.9s] So it's helped very, very helpful.
[1751.7s] Me too.
[1752.5s] That's good.
[1753.7s] So that's 17 piercing damage to Flamikins Kins.
[1756.6s] Oh, Flamikins Kins.
[1758.1s] How's she doing?
[1759.8s] Oh, you know, she's taking a lot of beats down.
[1763.9s] So that's 30.
[1765.0s] She's down to 34.
[1767.0s] She is what's called fourth edition as bloodied.
[1770.6s] So that happens.
[1771.5s] And then Nularaaaa and Thaddeus.
[1775.4s] Yeah, also.
[1776.3s] So Nularaaaa, that's going to be a 20 not critical with a bite.
[1782.1s] Well, that will do it.
[1783.7s] And that's going to be nine piercing.
[1788.3s] But you have armor that halves everything.
[1791.9s] But only everything.
[1795.0s] Oh, right.
[1795.6s] I have armor that helps me not take as much damage as well.
[1798.9s] Guys.
[1799.5s] Everything.
[1800.2s] See, I remember to play properly.
[1802.8s] Yeah, but only if I use it.
[1806.2s] Are you not wearing your armor?
[1808.2s] You can use it as an action to make yourself immune
[1810.6s] to nonmagical damage for 10 minutes
[1812.8s] or until you're no longer wearing the armor.
[1815.5s] Yeah, but you're immune to you're not.
[1818.4s] OK, yes.
[1819.7s] But you take half damage on everything.
[1823.2s] I do not have that in my notes.
[1824.9s] That's why I never use it because I'm always waiting
[1827.3s] for like the big bad because I only have it for 10 minutes.
[1831.0s] So I don't want to like blow it on some dumb ass flowers.
[1834.3s] Sorry, flowers.
[1835.1s] No offense.
[1836.7s] You're not the scariest things.
[1838.0s] We're fine.
[1838.6s] So wait, I'm confused.
[1840.1s] Is Russ saying that you have this all of the time
[1843.6s] or only in the 10 minutes when you like activate it?
[1846.2s] I thought it was only in the 10 minutes.
[1848.2s] He's saying all of the time.
[1851.5s] I'll take all of the time.
[1853.4s] But I thought it was only in the 10 minutes.
[1855.3s] Armor of invulnerability.
[1857.5s] Yeah, it is.
[1859.8s] Once this special action is used.
[1861.2s] I hope it's all of the time.
[1864.4s] Armor of invul.
[1867.7s] I think it was armor of vulnerability, right?
[1869.8s] Yeah, no armor of it.
[1871.8s] You have resistance.
[1873.6s] So you have resistance to non-magical damage
[1876.4s] while you wear this armor.
[1877.5s] Stop.
[1878.2s] Anytime.
[1879.5s] Anytime.
[1880.3s] Non-magical damage.
[1881.5s] You have resistance, which means you take half of everything.
[1885.8s] Then additionally, you can use an action to make yourself
[1888.2s] immune to non-magical damage for 10 minutes
[1890.4s] or until you are no longer wearing the armor.
[1893.0s] Once this special.
[1893.7s] So any damage you can.
[1895.4s] Once you choose, then you no longer take magical damage
[1898.4s] for 10 minutes.
[1899.5s] Or you can take half damage always as soon as you put that on.
[1904.5s] Always, always, always, always.
[1906.3s] Now, we haven't had a combat since then, except for.
[1910.8s] So she hasn't missed out too much.
[1912.6s] I guess the the chule stuff,
[1913.8s] you should have been taking half if you took any, but.
[1916.5s] I did take some.
[1917.4s] Yeah, thank you for reassessing that
[1920.5s] because I totally misunderstood.
[1922.5s] I thought it was like the 10 minutes and that's it.
[1925.6s] Well, the 10 minutes and that's it is immune to non-magical damage.
[1929.5s] Yeah, so I can pick like I'm immune to piercing damage.
[1932.9s] I just reread it.
[1933.8s] It's non-magical damage.
[1935.7s] So you always you take half.
[1937.8s] You take half because you're resistant.
[1939.8s] And then when you say I want to use this ability
[1942.5s] or whatever the, you know, banana keyword is.
[1946.9s] No, it was a real one for that, I think.
[1948.5s] Right.
[1949.0s] Was you chose Latin?
[1950.7s] Yeah.
[1951.4s] Oh, yeah.
[1951.8s] Yeah.
[1952.2s] Yeah.
[1952.6s] So sorry.
[1953.1s] Is the word Latin?
[1955.0s] No, I think it's like Contigo or something.
[1957.3s] Um, no, that's a water bottle from Costco.
[1962.3s] What?
[1962.8s] How much damage was I supposed to take?
[1964.7s] Like, what was the total?
[1966.2s] And then what's my half?
[1967.4s] Was it nine?
[1969.0s] It was seven plus, uh, seven plus five plus three.
[1975.0s] So that's 15.
[1976.6s] So you would take eight, seven, six, seven, five, four, two.
[1985.2s] We always round down.
[1986.2s] Round down.
[1987.0s] Okay.
[1987.4s] Thaddeus.
[1987.9s] Let's see if I can hit Thaddeus.
[1989.4s] Yep.
[1989.7s] Great.
[1990.0s] Sure can.
[1990.5s] And that's a 21.
[1991.4s] That's a big old chomp at a chomp.
[1993.8s] Thaddeus loves it.
[1995.4s] Oh, oh, you're supposed.
[1996.3s] Sorry.
[1996.7s] You got bit.
[1997.2s] So you're supposed to make a constitution saving throw.
[1999.3s] Oh, to see if I'm grappled.
[2002.5s] No, poison, poison, poison.
[2004.6s] Because he bit you.
[2006.2s] Uh, con.
[2008.2s] Yep.
[2008.7s] 17.
[2009.9s] Yep.
[2010.2s] You're good.
[2010.9s] You're good to be poisoned.
[2013.4s] Eight piercing damage and must also make a constitution
[2016.6s] saving throw.
[2017.2s] Okay.
[2018.6s] Hang on here.
[2019.4s] All right.
[2019.7s] That's eight.
[2020.9s] All right.
[2021.5s] Con, con, con, con, con.
[2023.8s] That is a 14.
[2027.3s] Yeah.
[2027.7s] So he is what's known in the biz.
[2030.7s] As dodging that poison.
[2033.6s] Well, he is going to.
[2035.8s] So every 24 hours that elapsed, the target must repeat the saving throw,
[2040.2s] reducing its hit point maximum by one D 10 on a failure.
[2044.8s] The disease cured on a success.
[2046.9s] If the target dies, if the disease is reduced to zero hit points.
[2051.2s] So basically every 24 hours starting right now, I'm going to roll a D 10.
[2056.2s] And until he's cured, his hit point maximum is reduced.
[2060.2s] So he reduces that by two.
[2063.4s] Whoa.
[2064.6s] Don't fail your roles, guys.
[2067.0s] Right.
[2069.2s] Yep.
[2070.2s] Okay.
[2071.8s] Okay.
[2072.0s] So those are some plants turns.
[2073.8s] And then we're back to the top and plant.
[2075.4s] Number one's going to try and attack the again.
[2078.3s] Bring it.
[2079.2s] Oh yeah.
[2079.8s] That's a 11.
[2081.6s] Yeah.
[2082.8s] All right.
[2083.2s] Then it's back to Nulara.
[2085.8s] Sweet.
[2087.4s] I am going to switch to flame tongue and say movie Caliente.
[2096.3s] That's my very best friend.
[2098.3s] Donny was like, fuck that fire was amazing.
[2103.0s] So good.
[2104.5s] Uh, that was only a 15.
[2107.8s] Yes, that will hit.
[2108.8s] Okay.
[2109.5s] Great.
[2110.2s] Great.
[2111.0s] Great.
[2111.5s] I love it.
[2112.3s] I love it.
[2115.1s] Are you taking someone's photo right now?
[2117.0s] 2G6 plus two.
[2118.5s] What's that?
[2119.3s] Great.
[2120.6s] Great.
[2121.4s] I love it.
[2122.6s] Totally.
[2123.0s] Yes.
[2124.1s] Work it.
[2125.7s] So that really owned the space.
[2129.0s] Via Taiga, baby.
[2130.3s] So that is seven piercing.
[2133.3s] And then nine.
[2136.2s] One million fire.
[2140.1s] Seven piercing, nine fire.
[2143.0s] Second attack.
[2144.6s] Yeah.
[2144.9s] Okay.
[2145.2s] Got it.
[2146.2s] Do math faster.
[2147.4s] No, it's fine because I rolled a two,
[2149.2s] which even with my amazing pluses still will not do it.
[2152.6s] I'm sure it was a 13.
[2154.7s] 13 will not hit.
[2156.2s] Okay.
[2156.7s] So then Donny's going to try and recharge.
[2159.8s] Donny fails to recharge.
[2162.6s] Donny fails to recharge.
[2164.2s] Donny's just puffing smoke out of his mouth.
[2166.4s] He's got nothing.
[2167.5s] He can still take an action.
[2169.0s] I know, but his only other thing is bite now
[2171.4s] and that he's not going to bite it.
[2174.2s] It'll get him.
[2176.0s] His face will be all up in his face.
[2177.6s] It can't come back at him immediately though.
[2183.3s] That's the player's call.
[2186.6s] Flint.
[2188.0s] Okay.
[2189.5s] How close am I to the one that's grappling Thea?
[2193.1s] Within five feet.
[2195.0s] Okay.
[2195.3s] I'm going to go swing my rod of lordly might
[2198.7s] that has been turned back from a ladder
[2200.6s] with hooks on the end of it to keep that rock in place
[2202.8s] into an axe.
[2204.2s] And I'm going to-
[2205.0s] He is not impressed.
[2208.3s] Okay.
[2208.7s] I will not attack the one that's-
[2210.3s] No, do it.
[2211.4s] You're swinging around your rod of lordly might.
[2214.4s] I'll like-
[2214.9s] I mean, I'm trying to help you out,
[2216.1s] but if you're not impressed,
[2217.1s] I'll go help someone else.
[2218.2s] I am impressed.
[2219.5s] It's so lordly.
[2221.5s] So very lordly.
[2222.7s] All right.
[2223.0s] So I'm going to take a big chop down
[2225.4s] on the one that's entangled her.
[2228.0s] And that is a 28.
[2231.1s] Is that going to hit?
[2234.4s] Okay.
[2235.0s] Just this one is great.
[2237.1s] Just that one time?
[2238.3s] Okay, perfect.
[2240.0s] He is the leader of them all.
[2241.4s] Yeah, he's made of concrete.
[2243.0s] It's crazy.
[2244.0s] Excellent.
[2244.3s] The rod shatters.
[2247.0s] D10 plus seven is 17.
[2249.9s] Nope, 14.
[2250.8s] Bad math.
[2251.3s] Sorry.
[2252.2s] 14 damage.
[2256.0s] Okay.
[2257.7s] Is it still-
[2258.4s] Oh my god, is none of these flowers dying?
[2259.3s] Is it still holding on strong?
[2260.0s] I know, not one has died yet.
[2262.3s] Oh my god.
[2263.2s] I just broke off a little bit.
[2264.5s] It has released the-
[2266.3s] Oh, thanks.
[2267.6s] Excellent.
[2268.5s] I'm going to keep going at that one
[2270.3s] and attack it two more times.
[2272.2s] Or at least one more time,
[2273.4s] because it might die after that one.
[2274.8s] Two more times.
[2275.3s] That'd be wonderful if it didn't.
[2277.5s] So that is a 16.
[2281.2s] That will hit.
[2282.3s] Perfect.
[2283.9s] That is 15 damage.
[2286.1s] Nice.
[2288.5s] Is it still functioning?
[2290.0s] It's still functioning, yeah.
[2291.1s] Excellent.
[2291.6s] Okay, all right.
[2292.3s] Going again.
[2293.3s] That's a 23, so that's-
[2295.1s] Nope, 27, so that should be fine.
[2298.6s] And then I rolled a dice all the way back
[2300.3s] that I couldn't see.
[2301.1s] We're going to pull it out.
[2302.2s] So four and seven is 11 damage.
[2304.4s] Just a little surprise for yourself there.
[2306.4s] That's fun.
[2307.1s] I rolled it under my laptop
[2309.0s] and couldn't see the results.
[2310.8s] You strike into this plant multiple times
[2314.6s] and you're like,
[2315.1s] these plants can take a beating.
[2319.0s] I have mad respect for these plants.
[2320.5s] Mad props to these plants.
[2322.3s] And they strike back.
[2324.4s] One at Flint with a bite.
[2326.8s] That's not going to hit.
[2327.9s] Flammikens with a 17.
[2332.3s] So yeah, she gets hit again
[2334.0s] with a good old bite.
[2336.2s] That's 13 more damage.
[2338.6s] Fuck, chomp chomp.
[2342.2s] Guys, I don't think
[2343.1s] we should have pissed off these flowers.
[2347.6s] Nularaaaa.
[2348.3s] Who did that?
[2349.0s] I don't know, but listen,
[2351.9s] I'm grief raging.
[2353.6s] Thaddeus a 21.
[2355.9s] 16 does not hit.
[2357.3s] Yeah, I figured.
[2359.1s] Thaddeus is going to take 15 piercing.
[2362.0s] Oh my God, is he dead?
[2363.6s] No, he's still hanging on,
[2364.9s] but he is, as you would say,
[2367.5s] in the biz almost bloody.
[2369.9s] It's Flammikens turn
[2372.4s] and she's like, oh, fuck, guys.
[2375.8s] This doesn't feel very, very good.
[2379.1s] Oh God, is this like Infinity War?
[2381.4s] No.
[2384.0s] Yeah, I don't want to go anywhere.
[2387.3s] I feel funny.
[2389.9s] And she's like, maybe.
[2391.5s] Maybe the pearl is what we need.
[2393.8s] And she fires a chaos bolt.
[2395.9s] Maybe if we just hit the same one
[2398.3s] until it fucking dies
[2401.3s] and then take the pearl
[2402.3s] and get the fuck out.
[2404.5s] She hurls an undulating,
[2406.2s] warbling mass of chaotic energy
[2408.4s] make these range.
[2412.9s] With advantage from her stirring speech.
[2416.4s] Oh yeah, with advantage
[2417.5s] for a stirring speech
[2418.6s] nails that motherfucker.
[2422.0s] So that's 14 force damage
[2426.9s] at the one that just hit her.
[2429.5s] She's like, I know what I just said
[2430.9s] and I should have hit the one
[2432.1s] that took the biggest beating,
[2433.9s] but I'm almost dead.
[2437.0s] Somebody help.
[2438.9s] She's having some trouble.
[2440.7s] And it's Thea's turn.
[2442.3s] Thank God.
[2442.9s] I'm going to Eldritch Blast
[2444.5s] the one that Flint damaged
[2447.0s] and I'm going to use all three of my blasts.
[2449.3s] Oh.
[2450.0s] All three of my beams at that one.
[2453.5s] So that's 3D10,
[2456.4s] but this is a ranged attack.
[2459.1s] So I'm going to actually
[2460.0s] have to fucking roll for it.

[2484.9s] Oh, yeah, that's good rolling.
[2488.2s] So we've got 24.
[2490.1s] What type of damage is that?
[2491.5s] This is a crackling energy force damage.
[2498.2s] This plant is looking to wither a little bit.
[2501.7s] Fucking fine.
[2503.9s] Just a little bit.
[2504.8s] Just a little bit.
[2506.0s] Son of a bitch.

[2578.4s] Have a great week.
[2579.4s] We'll talk soon.
[2584.5s] Yeah, so Thaddeus is going to cast Mass Healing Word
[2588.3s] because, yup.
[2590.2s] On himself.
[2591.5s] On everyone.
[2592.5s] I can cast it up to six creatures of my choice.
[2594.7s] So that's everybody that is a friend of ours
[2597.5s] that isn't a plant.
[2599.9s] No one here is paying $5 to help the plants.
[2605.0s] Okay, so yes, I've got to.
[2608.8s] I don't think, is this an attack?
[2610.3s] Yes, it is.
[2611.5s] No, no, it is not.
[2613.1s] It's just something you do.
[2614.4s] Perfect.
[2614.9s] All right.
[2615.7s] So that is three and eight is 11.
[2618.5s] Everybody gets 11 hit points back.
[2620.3s] Thank you.
[2621.1s] Yay.
[2621.5s] I feel a little better,
[2623.7s] but feel like you could have done better.
[2626.8s] Thanks.
[2627.7s] Thanks, bud.
[2628.6s] Wait, hold on.
[2629.3s] Let me just keep reading.
[2630.7s] Oh, I can cast it at a higher level.
[2632.7s] So I'm going to add one more D4 to it.
[2634.8s] Okay.
[2636.7s] Oh, it's a four.
[2637.5s] So 15 points back to everybody.
[2640.1s] I knew you had it in you.
[2641.2s] That was so good.
[2643.6s] Much better.
[2646.3s] It's not my usual character.
[2647.9s] It's also a magic user.
[2649.8s] Oh, guys, let's fuck these.
[2652.4s] Fuck these bitches up here.
[2653.7s] That's their turn though.
[2656.3s] So we're going to go Thea,
[2659.2s] the one to the south attacks you for 16.
[2662.7s] If it meets, it beats.
[2667.2s] That's going to be 12, 15 piercing damage.
[2670.8s] I just got 15 back.
[2673.1s] If it meets, you're two leaps.
[2676.2s] Flint, that's going to be a 22.
[2679.1s] Yes, yes, that was the exact reaction I wanted.
[2682.9s] That's a 15, 15 piercing damage.
[2686.3s] Wow, it's almost like the exact amount of hit points
[2688.6s] I just got back.
[2691.7s] Flamikins luckily dodges out of the way of this bite
[2694.6s] because that's amazing.
[2696.4s] She's like, yeah, I feel rejuvenated.
[2697.7s] Is there any grappling or anything
[2699.1s] we need to be rolling for?
[2700.3s] Bites and you've already con saved the poison.
[2702.8s] So yeah, we're good, we're good.
[2705.9s] Nularaaaa and Thaddeus, that was a weird roll.
[2711.0s] Nularaaaa, that's a 22.
[2713.5s] So you're going to take five, eight, eight.
[2717.6s] Oh, eight.
[2718.5s] Wow.
[2719.4s] I tried to guess, but I was wrong.
[2721.5s] Halfed.
[2722.1s] So it halved after the eight, so four?
[2724.3s] Yeah.
[2724.9s] Oh, yeah.
[2725.9s] Nice.
[2726.6s] Yeah, yeah.
[2728.7s] Thaddeus, that's a 13 against AC.
[2730.4s] I can't remember his AC.
[2731.6s] His AC is 16, he dodges.
[2733.1s] Woo.
[2734.3s] All right, back to number one who's withering.
[2738.3s] That's a bite at Thea for 20, not critical.
[2742.1s] Yeah, that hits.
[2742.8s] But he's going to roll a one, so it's okay.
[2746.4s] That's 11.
[2747.9s] That's two ones.
[2749.1s] It's two ones.
[2749.9s] You were wrong.
[2750.4s] Shut up, John.
[2753.1s] Nularaaaa.
[2755.0s] Kate.
[2756.7s] Oh, man.
[2759.6s] I was attacking five, but it's number one
[2762.5s] that is like withering.
[2764.3s] Yeah, so if you were to move,
[2765.7s] you would have a whole bunch of things
[2767.1s] trying to stop you from moving.
[2769.0s] So if you have any ranged.
[2771.1s] Oh, but wait, there's more.
[2774.8s] Do you order now?
[2778.6s] In the next 15 minutes.
[2779.8s] I am fleet of foot.
[2783.4s] Okay.
[2784.0s] So I can use.
[2785.2s] Well, you could also use one of your actions
[2786.7s] to disengage too.
[2788.8s] So I can use dash as a bonus action on my turn.
[2792.5s] Well, dash means you can double your speed,
[2794.7s] but you would want to disengage as an action to.
[2797.9s] Well, and then she can dash,
[2799.1s] but I don't think you need to dash
[2800.8s] because we're in a small area.
[2803.4s] I see.
[2804.3s] Okay, then yeah, I will disengage
[2806.0s] as one of my actions.
[2808.7s] That's just the one that I was going
[2809.6s] to get a bad roll on anyway, guys.
[2811.1s] Don't worry about it.
[2811.6s] It's fine.
[2812.0s] It's totally fine.
[2812.7s] So then you like vault over
[2814.9s] all your friends in the fountain there.
[2816.9s] Yeah, exactly.
[2818.0s] I'm imagining her literally vaulting
[2820.3s] like over top of like.
[2822.3s] Just right over Flint.
[2824.5s] I'm doing some flimsy shit.
[2825.9s] That's amazing.
[2827.5s] Flaming kids crumples like a pile of paper.
[2831.3s] Flaming Kins takes one damage.
[2835.1s] So that's a 30 on that attack.
[2839.2s] Surprisingly, that one misses.
[2841.1s] Weird.
[2841.5s] God damn it.
[2842.2s] It gets stronger as it gets weaker.
[2844.3s] You circled so far back around.
[2846.8s] Yeah, exactly.
[2848.4s] Yeah, that hits.
[2850.5s] So 10 piercing and 12 fire.
[2858.3s] So tell me how you destroy after vaulting
[2861.0s] over all of your friends
[2861.9s] with your flaming sword in hand,
[2863.2s] like one handed vaulting,
[2864.5s] like knocking their heads down.
[2867.5s] I was so inspired by Flaming Kins idea
[2870.0s] that New Laura's not really an ideas person.
[2873.2s] She just gets on board with other people's ideas.
[2875.4s] So I liked Flaming Kins idea to attack the one.
[2878.7s] Yeah, so I guess I'm doing like vaulting
[2881.7s] over them with flips with my sword on fire,
[2883.9s] which seems very dangerous.
[2885.9s] It does.
[2887.3s] And I probably just like drive it in
[2889.7s] because I'm tired.
[2891.8s] I did all those flips and stuff.
[2895.3s] It's just like.
[2897.7s] Just put on a good show.
[2899.1s] Yeah, but I'm just I'm beat.
[2900.6s] Sure, so you stab in and this flower
[2904.1s] goes up in flames and the pearl falls
[2906.7s] from it down onto the ground.
[2909.2s] Okay, I pick it up and all day long
[2911.7s] you have good luck.
[2915.1s] All right, so I mean,
[2917.1s] you still have like five feet of movement
[2921.3s] if you so desired.
[2923.0s] So you're right by the entrance
[2924.6s] where you jumped to the left.
[2925.9s] Oh, I see.
[2927.6s] And the step to the right to the right.
[2930.7s] Okay, so I oh, I'm by the entrance
[2932.7s] where we came in, which okay,
[2935.7s] I feel like you're telling me something.
[2937.8s] So I guess I'm going to grab it and like
[2941.8s] run into the other room with it.
[2946.1s] I mean, you don't make it all the way.
[2947.5s] You start like five feet into it.
[2948.8s] That's what you're doing.
[2949.7s] I say guys, I got a I got a pearl.
[2952.9s] Flint, you're up.
[2954.5s] I disengage.
[2956.7s] Oh wait, I guess the thing
[2957.6s] I was attacking is dead.
[2960.0s] Yeah, there's still there's still three
[2962.0s] that you have to get by though.
[2964.1s] Okay, can I disengage all three
[2966.7s] and just continue on to the other room?
[2969.5s] I mean, I have three attacks.
[2971.9s] You only need to disengage once
[2973.1s] to prevent opportunity attacks.
[2975.0s] So yes, you can.
[2976.2s] Yes, so I'll disengage
[2977.9s] and I'll I guess dash as well
[2980.3s] just to just to really hustle on out of there.
[2983.3s] Sure.
[2983.5s] You're like 10 feet from the entrance,
[2985.2s] but yeah, sure.
[2985.7s] If you dash.
[2986.5s] I'm really I'm like gone
[2987.9s] like the flash man.
[2989.9s] Yeah, so it's before anybody else's turn.
[2992.3s] It's the plants to the north turn.
[2994.2s] So actually, Thea doesn't get hit.
[2996.5s] Flame McKins could get attacked.
[2998.7s] No, 13 that's going to get that's going to hit.
[3003.5s] That's 1316 piercing to my goodness.
[3007.5s] Donny did.
[3008.3s] What did Donny do?
[3009.4s] No, Donny didn't do anything.
[3011.9s] Tell me what Donny did.
[3013.3s] He's perched.
[3014.3s] Oh no, he's not on your shoulder anymore.
[3015.7s] He's not a tiny boy.
[3017.1s] He's like, oh God, he's gonna.
[3019.9s] Oh, he recharged.
[3022.3s] He recharged.
[3023.0s] So he's going to like blast some sweet flame.
[3026.7s] All right, he's got Flaming Kins on his way out to.
[3030.6s] Well, he's going to avoid all the people.
[3033.7s] Okay, because he's good like that.
[3036.7s] Yeah, he could even like, you know,
[3038.6s] like not fly up over the hedges.
[3041.3s] He doesn't do that.
[3042.8s] Yeah, definitely doesn't do that.
[3045.3s] He could go up a little bit.
[3048.0s] So he whatever ones you think he can hit,
[3051.7s] they need to.
[3052.9s] Yeah, we'll say you can hit.
[3056.3s] We'll say he can hit probably three of them on his way out.
[3061.9s] Man, these breath weapons are fucking rad, hey?
[3066.5s] They're pretty solid.
[3068.2s] That's 27 damage.
[3069.8s] I have not five damage.
[3071.8s] No, yeah.
[3072.5s] So that's going to double to those two.
[3076.0s] So 52, 54.
[3079.3s] So actually, the one that hit hit,
[3081.9s] well, retcon that because he should have gone first.
[3084.3s] The one that hit Flaming Kins actually withers
[3087.8s] and a pearl drops from it as well.
[3091.5s] And the other two that he's able to hit aren't dead yet,
[3095.2s] but he makes it out.
[3098.7s] Yeah, so the one that hit Flaming Kins doesn't actually hit Flaming Kins.
[3101.7s] And there's one, oh, Thaddeus is still grappled.
[3105.5s] Oh, just like fucking left him.
[3107.9s] He didn't get grappled.
[3108.8s] He got like that weird disease.
[3110.4s] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, he got a poison.
[3111.8s] But yeah, the one, oh, right, right, right.
[3113.2s] So the one that tries to bite him misses.
[3116.8s] And then it's Flaming Kins' turn.
[3118.6s] She's going to disengage and run like fuck.
[3122.0s] She's like, I'm coming, guys.
[3123.8s] And she picks up the other pearl on the way by as well.
[3127.2s] And then it is Thea's turn.
[3129.2s] Thea disengages and runs.
[3131.8s] And Thaddeus does the same hopping.
[3136.2s] I believe I'll be the judge of what Thaddeus does, Russ.
[3138.7s] No, oh, sure, you do.
[3140.7s] He stays to fight while everyone else.
[3144.0s] No, sorry, Adam.
[3145.6s] We killed your character today by.
[3147.2s] Yeah, no, he did what Russ said.
[3149.6s] Yeah, disengages and runs past dodging Nimbly, the attacking plants.
[3155.9s] And you all kind of cluster together for fear of separating and make it back out
[3161.6s] and into the sundial room where the shadows are pointed towards
[3164.7s] A and C and guacamole.
[3168.7s] It's guacamole in there.
[3173.0s] I'm ready to burn this whole place down.
[3174.7s] We'll be reunited with guacamole when we get out of this
[3177.5s] fucking fuck with you shadow dimension or whatever.
[3179.9s] Russ is like fucking no emotion stone face.
[3183.4s] Whenever Amy talks about guacamole is like super unsettling
[3188.1s] because he's trying so hard not to give anything away
[3190.6s] because his wife is sitting beside him and will know
[3193.2s] it's like giving him the puppy dog eyes to stone face.
[3196.7s] I'm upset via just slumps to the ground like a broken woman.
[3201.4s] What were the shadows again?
[3202.9s] Are they A and C still or still A and C?
[3205.4s] Nothing has moved in the tower.
[3208.7s] No towers still.
[3210.3s] You don't see the tower.
[3211.6s] Guys, I don't know.
[3213.0s] Like we did we did a again that seemed we got something.
[3217.3s] We got that that pearl, but that's a pretty tough one.
[3221.2s] I don't know.
[3221.6s] Do we just try like D, A plus C equals D, right?
[3227.1s] That's math.
[3228.0s] Sure.
[3228.6s] Whatever.
[3230.4s] And we looked at the Sun dial and it's like there's not
[3233.1s] like places for gems or anything like that.
[3236.2s] It's immovable and there is nothing that appears to fit the gems.
[3239.9s] Can we examine the gems a little closer?
[3242.1s] Is there maybe anything on them that might help us?
[3245.9s] I mean, the first one looks like a garnet gemstone
[3248.9s] and the second one just a topaz gemstone.
[3253.2s] Like they just look like.
[3253.9s] OK, there's just OK.
[3254.9s] There's no like carving on them.
[3256.4s] That says like welcome to the castle or anything like that.
[3261.0s] OK, no, no, they just they're just gemstones.
[3264.3s] OK, OK, I don't know, you guys.
[3267.5s] Like, do we?
[3270.3s] I don't know.
[3270.8s] I guess I'm with you, Flint.
[3272.3s] Like you have a suggestion.
[3273.6s] Let's just go that way because I can't I can't solve the riddle.
[3276.9s] I'm not smart enough to do it.
[3278.9s] I don't know.
[3279.5s] OK, so we've done we've done Path A, we've done Path C, and we've done Path H.
[3284.7s] Yeah.
[3285.3s] So that leaves us twice.
[3288.0s] Yeah, but this time it actually had like a result at the end of it.
[3291.4s] It's spelling A, C, Acha.
[3296.7s] We should do E.
[3297.7s] It will make ache like my heart is aching.
[3302.2s] You solved the murder puzzle.
[3304.7s] Don't worry.
[3305.3s] Hey, does anybody have a healing potion or something?
[3307.6s] Maybe I have a healing potion.
[3309.9s] Yeah, but that's not all about you.
[3312.3s] Oh, yeah, I've got a healing potion.
[3315.6s] OK, I'm going to say it's one of those really fucking good ones and roll really well.
[3320.2s] Yeah, we got those good ones.
[3321.7s] So she probably we've got that good stuff.
[3324.0s] I've also got cure wounds I can cast on people if needed.
[3328.1s] She's she's guzzling her, her healing, her potion.
[3333.1s] I should probably.
[3334.0s] Shit, I should probably take a potion, too.
[3336.5s] Um, yeah, so we've got we've got B, D, E, F and G
[3341.7s] for ones that we haven't been through or gotten a stone from yet.
[3346.4s] Well, let's let's think about this.
[3349.2s] I mean, the first time it was pointed to A.
[3352.1s] Yep.
[3352.4s] And we went through A.
[3354.2s] Yep.
[3354.6s] And we came back here and things changed.
[3357.0s] The change is good.
[3359.9s] And then it switched to A and C.
[3363.6s] And we went.
[3364.1s] Do we go through C?
[3365.5s] We sure did.
[3366.4s] Oh, fuck.
[3367.5s] Did we go?
[3368.3s] Did we go?
[3368.7s] Wait, maybe maybe it's like narrowing in on something.
[3373.1s] So you're thinking B?
[3374.7s] Maybe.
[3375.5s] Split the difference?
[3377.0s] Sure.
[3378.4s] What do you guys think, B?
[3380.5s] Well, I think Flamikins had the right idea about just killing one and getting the pearl.
[3385.5s] So I guess she's the brains of the operation now.
[3388.6s] Yeah, sure.
[3389.6s] All right, Flamikins, we're in your capable hands.
[3393.2s] Let's give it a whirl.
[3395.1s] I'm going to give the hug teller that we're going to find.
[3399.5s] We're going to find.
[3402.0s] We're going to get out of this pocket dimension and she'll be there.
[3406.2s] What if she was just disintegrated up there?
[3409.5s] There's no way.
[3410.3s] We're going to get her back.
[3410.7s] What if she's in another dimension?
[3413.0s] Oh, God.
[3413.7s] Hey, I remember that pirate lady or the captain lady.
[3417.8s] She was kind of talking about it and because it's or maybe it was the baker.
[3421.9s] I don't know.
[3423.5s] But like, it's like portal shit, maybe.
[3426.7s] So maybe she's just like.
[3427.8s] What if she's been portaled somewhere and she's all by herself?
[3430.3s] I think we're portaled, man.
[3432.9s] Well, I want to be portaled with my owl.
[3435.5s] OK, hold on a second.
[3436.4s] I'll throw you up.
[3437.1s] Oh, yeah.
[3437.6s] No, she tries to like throw.
[3438.5s] You guys, remember?
[3439.7s] Um, this was.
[3440.6s] Yeah, it's like something to do with that, yeah.
[3442.6s] Veram told us, I think, that the tower is surrounded by a maze.
[3448.9s] Magical barricade that forces you through the maze.
[3451.5s] The tower disappears if you try to go over it.
[3453.9s] Like it's in like a weird force field thing, right?
[3456.3s] So she might just be out.
[3457.6s] So she's probably just out in the real world instead of in this fucked up.
[3462.5s] I have a question.
[3463.5s] Portal.
[3465.0s] If she's out for 12 hours, will she come back to her Jade Serpentine form with me?
[3470.7s] Or is she just going to fall from the sky?
[3472.7s] She turns into from the Jade Serpentine form.
[3475.3s] So the Jade Serpentine form lands wherever she lands.
[3479.1s] Oh, my God.
[3480.0s] You guys were on a clock.
[3481.5s] So time wise, we were already on a clock.
[3483.4s] We were already on the clock.
[3484.7s] It's a more important time.
[3486.1s] You guys have been in here for less than five minutes.
[3489.9s] Yeah, because it's only taking us like 30 to 45 seconds to go down these paths.
[3493.8s] And then you're entering combat, which takes only like a few rounds.
[3497.9s] Another question.
[3500.5s] What do I roll for an uncommon healing potion?
[3503.9s] 4d4 plus four.
[3506.0s] 4d4 plus four.

[3510.9s] Your call.
[3511.5s] I'll take 44 plus four.
[3513.1s] You begin walking down path B, and it takes you a little more than a minute.
[3517.8s] And you enter back into the sundial room.
[3521.0s] But the shadows have changed.
[3522.8s] They are now pointed towards A, D, and F.

[3552.3s] She can't eat that entire bone in this setting.
[3555.1s] She can't.
[3555.7s] She can't eat that entire bone.
[3556.9s] Her ass will explode.

[3575.4s] He is.
[3575.9s] OK, well, then I am actually going to get a drink.
