[281.0s] hashtag find guac that's right so you have currently find yourself in perhaps another
[286.4s] maze after you went down a pathway and you ended up in what appears to be a more different
[292.0s] type of maze perhaps even a bit more real that's the queen's english by the way more
[297.5s] mazy sort of style more mazy maze yeah like maybe it's a corn maze maybe it's maybe that's
[306.0s] whimsical right maybe just on the other side we hear like there'll be a pumpkin patch pony riding
[311.8s] and there's yeah people picking pumpkins sure to make pumpkin spice lattes out of
[317.4s] which are now available as of yesterday starbucks get on board uh sponsor this
[322.3s] podcast as this recording is released oh three weeks ago the pumpkin spice
[329.4s] it's more seasonally appropriate for us to be talking about such autumnal things when this
[333.5s] episode actually comes out so that's true yeah yeah way to go ask screw you starbucks whoa we
[340.8s] want them on board ross unless you want to sponsor this podcast unless then we're into it
[345.2s] is this like when you were gonna badmouth google the other night come on ross get it
[349.0s] together come on all these all these could be potential sponsors of ours because i'm sure
[355.6s] starbucks sponsors they're itching to get in the podcast game mediocre dnd
[361.3s] and starbucks are looking for us if you are give me a call five five five
[368.0s] that's my number there's the thing that people need to understand there's like a far fewer
[375.3s] people in canada so our numbers are only three that's true yeah that's very true
[379.8s] brusco five five five and it's all rotary too so oh yeah yep yeah our phone is on the wall
[386.0s] in the kitchen as we speak there are cell phones but they're the 80s zack morris brick
[390.5s] cell phones exactly we really just use them to throw at each other when we're angry but
[395.7s] that doesn't ever happen because this is canada let's face it very genteel
[399.2s] so we're in a maze so yeah the path you follow suddenly twist to reveal a proper
[407.8s] maze cut out of the surrounding hedges moments later the pounding of hooves rings out
[413.8s] and a gorgon charges out of the greenery towards you
[419.4s] roll for initiative does it smell like gorgonzola nice thanks
[425.4s] ah i'm here all day i got a 20 uh 23 i think seven sorry 27 amy that's very good
[436.5s] right no it was just a seven isn't gorgon from trolls no not trolls sorry smurfs
[446.8s] that's gargamel that is gargamel isn't that isn't a gorgon like medusa in her cronies
[453.2s] aren't they gorgons i believe so in this case yeah i'm talking real world greek mythology here
[459.8s] russ bowl yeah stone bowl a stone yes that does sound yes well that's just confusing when we're
[466.2s] talking about myths they can't they can't just take a name of a thing and make it the name
[470.1s] of another thing that's true that's not allowed i mean i guess it is wizards of the coast
[475.7s] way to be confusing so no new law you're first i'm gonna go first is that what you're saying
[483.8s] that's what i said yeah new law Nulara you are up first how far is uh old mr gorgon from us
[490.8s] the gorgon has just come out of the greenery okay and he is now 25 feet charging
[499.4s] towards you and your friends who are standing in the middle of a maze there is an opening
[504.8s] to your right as you look at the gorgon and an opening behind you and to your left well i'm just
[512.2s] gonna try and stab it i know it's really big and muscular and looks like it's got some kind
[516.5s] of armor on it but i'm pretty irritated and would like to get out of this maze so
[521.4s] whether by success or death i care not okay so you're rushing forward charging at the gorgon
[529.3s] yep all right roll it up
[535.9s] all right well that was only a 14 so that probably didn't do anything
[542.1s] oh nope it's okay i'll try again okay well that was a 13 so that probably didn't do anything
[552.2s] either i'm just gonna like yeah i'm gonna scooch a little sashay a little scooch have you seen
[558.3s] that gif of um and it was also in the show of homer simpson just like into the head into the
[565.5s] head just gonna do one of those moves sure i get that um so yeah you charge forward 25 feet
[571.5s] swinging um and uh i mean it's it's we'll say it's glancing off of its horns but you
[578.2s] don't connect solid and sidestep off allowing it to continue charging forward to your friends
[584.3s] okay well donnie's gonna try he's gonna first try to recharge the old breath weapon yep didn't
[591.0s] work so he is probably going to sure he's gonna try and bite this charging bull because why
[598.7s] wouldn't he why would me you guys he's worried about um guac too they're best friends you
[606.1s] know uh that is a 16 uh 16 will not hit okay well he's gonna try and recharge his breath weapon
[613.8s] again and it didn't work again so he's gonna try and bite again and he doesn't because he got a
[622.6s] 10 i'm gonna swap out my dice donnie leaps and flies just above not too high because he's
[631.8s] worried about the guac syndrome and hovers above the bull that's charging towards you
[637.1s] and takes a couple bites at its back but misses and the gorgon continues forward i feel like he
[644.0s] lies above it and just is like that and just licks down the gorgon's back
[650.6s] and just as he's about to reach the group lets forth a giant green plume that goes
[658.6s] 30 feet out in front of it encompassing flint thea thaddeus and Flamikinskins who all have to make
[666.0s] a constitution saving throw yes you have to make the constitution saving throw everyone
[670.9s] has questions about poison it's not poison i know that's why you were confirming they had
[675.4s] to do it right i crit failed oh that is not great amy uh flint got a 19 thaddeus got an 18
[685.4s] i rolled with a different dice for Flamikinskins it's an 18 for her i know i just swapped all my dice
[692.1s] three of you are fine and you just you just this cloud comes up and over you thea however
[700.6s] we'll get to that in a second the bull as it releases this gas continues charging forward
[705.7s] moving to gore flint as he is the first one in the way or with a 21 to hit oh yeah so that's
[715.2s] 15 piercing damage and you must make a strength saving throw or be knocked prone as it is in a
[720.6s] trampling charge okay so i'm gonna take 12 hit points because i can lower these things by three
[729.5s] due to my heavy armor master skill strength throw that's a 19 plus four so 23
[736.0s] you are not knocked prone suck it gorgon and then as you are gored and kind of knocked to the
[744.2s] side the the cloud settles and you see a stone figure and thea is what's called petrified
[753.4s] oh no just like a basilisk does so you can at the end of your next turn you can make another
[761.9s] saving throw and on a success you are no longer petrified on a failure the target is petrified
[767.9s] until freed by a greater restoration spell or other magic next up in rotation Flamikinskins
[776.6s] russ is banging out the uh big guns as far as side effects for us fucking failing
[781.1s] saving throws these days true i mean things things get real if i be hurt if i'm petrified
[789.6s] you have resistance against a lot of stuff if you're petrified nice um so Flamikinskins as
[794.9s] right into the right into the gorgons face Flamikinskins hurls a bubble of acid
[800.4s] and it must make a dexterity saving throw which it does not succeed on and that is a
[807.1s] high roll so that is six twelve seventeen acid damage against this gorgon's face
[814.2s] oh i've mixed up Flamikinskins and flint two fls in that list so flint you go now
[822.1s] okay so being as it kind of knocked flint off to the side i'm guessing i'm
[826.0s] just to the side of it as opposed to in front of it yes so it has a charge like five feet
[831.0s] past you okay uh i'm gonna go alongside it and kind of swing my axe in an uppercut fashion right
[839.8s] where like its front legs meets its upper body just to like just to get in that joint yeah for
[846.8s] sure and that is a 25 that will hit come on big money 13 damage on that one and i'll
[858.8s] continue attacking it in the same spot that's a 21 no 22 sorry it's another 13
[866.6s] we're consistent on the damage front and a 20 but not critical uh yes okay
[875.5s] and that's 12 more damage with like down and up swipings you're working into the joint and
[881.4s] you see like cracks begin to form on the front shoulder and creeping down the back of this
[887.5s] gorgon as it is thaddeus's turn all right everybody make a perception check as well as
[893.4s] as flint is deciding can i perceive anything i didn't think i could uh thaddeus got a
[900.9s] 23 and flint critically failed carla got uh oh sorry carla's not there new laura got a 23 as
[911.6s] carla's not here man flint's too focused on defeating this is gorgon but the 23s as the
[918.7s] dust is settling you notice a diamond kind of in the middle of where it shot its blast of
[925.4s] petrified breath which he would currently be standing right over top of so the gorgon is
[930.6s] currently standing right over top of a diamond so the gorgon is standing over the diamond like
[936.0s] as if the diamond is in the floor uh like it's just a diamond that has is placed on the ground
[941.3s] it's not inset in anything okay oh i thought thaddeus had mage hand and i was like does
[947.2s] he have one of those hand spells right where he can grab things i thought that would be very
[952.3s] handy but i'm not seeing here at all handy yeah uh thaddeus is going to touch the stone
[962.1s] statue of thea and cast resistance on it so she has uh an extra d4 to a number
[973.0s] rolled on a saving throw of its choice ah thanks okay i'll need it may i roll two d20s
[981.6s] because i think if i if i add them together i could maybe get it's possible oh and thaddeus
[991.1s] kind of gets out of the way as well so he can go like back into his right as far as where the
[997.1s] gorgon is or back into the left uh he will go to the left to the left back into the left
[1005.5s] so kind of just in that doorway there so he runs back and down and just out of sight
[1011.1s] or just you know peering around the corner at the action happening thea you get to make a
[1016.8s] saving throw yeah i do do it do you remember what kind of saving through it is what i don't
[1023.2s] care i rolled a 19 is it constitution it was a constitution okay so 21 so and you can add a d4
[1031.2s] to it if you want do it did my 21 i'm pretty sure my 21 made it up to you yeah the effect
[1042.1s] effect ends so you the stone begins to fall away from your skin but that is the end of your turn
[1048.0s] you should be doing this like when you have like luna's face masks on it gets on crack
[1053.9s] you're making all those faces back to the top and that's Nulara okay well i'm going to try
[1059.9s] again that's a 27 so you're rushing back towards the gorgon to attack stab it in the
[1067.7s] butt nice while i'm behind it so realistically i'm gonna stab it in the butt yeah or how about
[1074.2s] doesn't have horns this sounds better i'm gonna stab it like in the rear flank oh sure how about
[1079.8s] how about that well you do have all that animal handling stuff so just a fancy way to say butt
[1085.3s] stab so that's 18 damage okay i'm gonna stab it in the butt again i'm gonna stab it in the
[1093.3s] other side of its butt uh no maybe i'm not 16 does not hit 16 is not a butt stab okay not
[1100.9s] a butt stab it's a it's a glance off it's it's a spank stony hide okay you just spanked it
[1108.7s] donnie's gonna try and recharge didn't work so he's gonna try and bite that is a 23
[1116.2s] yeah uh for six damage recharge attempt recharge fail bite attempt 25
[1126.2s] uh and seven damage where is beginning to show and the cracks are beginning to spread throughout
[1133.6s] this gorgon as it is its turn and it rears up and stomps to the ground and releases another
[1142.9s] petrifying breath which spreads out and encompasses everybody except thaddeus yeah thaddeus
[1151.1s] everybody's got to make a constitution saving throw again i'm glad i didn't use that d4
[1158.1s] 15 i'm using a d4 i got a 20 flay mccain's got a 19 flink got a 20 donnie did donnie roll
[1165.6s] donnie got a 12 uh so as the cloud comes up you hear a thud like a stone hitting the ground
[1176.3s] as donnie falls to the ground from the brief small height that he was up and he too is
[1181.8s] petrified it's not as bad as it looks donnie the gorgon jumps through the greenery in front
[1190.9s] and comes back out from the other end down by on the other side of thea
[1197.6s] and begins charging back towards you but does not make it as far since it was charging past
[1204.0s] thaddeus does he have an opportunity attack yeah yeah yeah i'll give you an opportunity
[1208.2s] attack yeah all right he's gonna swing his war hammer at this bad boy and that is a 22
[1217.4s] yeah and nine damage his hit stops him in his tracks and he turns and looks
[1223.5s] at him and now it is truly flint's turn all right uh how far out from flint is this bad
[1230.6s] boy now 30 feet flint is going to grab his dwarven thrower and throw that bad boy at this
[1240.2s] fucking gorgon yeah ranged weapon and that is a 17 17 will not hit okay he's going to do the
[1250.9s] same thing again so you throw your hammer and recall it back to you instantly that's right
[1257.4s] only to whip it again that's right and this is a nat 20 yeah it is we haven't had a nat 20
[1263.5s] in a long time it feels like a while yeah so that's 17 plus five is 22 damage tell me how
[1271.8s] your hammer destroys this gorgon uh well after it missed on the first flyby it noticed a little
[1279.2s] weak spot where we've been hitting the gorgon repeatedly and there's cracks showing so
[1283.9s] as uh flint let it fly again it strikes true and shatters the gorgon into a million pieces
[1291.4s] yeah it does thea shakes off the rest of the rock and goes whoo dust herself off good job team
[1297.4s] uh yeah so your hammer strikes true and the gorgon explodes and crumbles and begins to mist
[1304.4s] up into the air and you have seemingly defeated the gorgon he just i don't like the sound of
[1310.2s] that seemingly you have defeated the gorgon yay i don't know what you're talking about i didn't
[1315.4s] say seemingly when the gorgons destroyed does donnie magically become unpetrified negative
[1322.0s] okay uh guys can somebody do help me out here uh that is that is is gonna cast uh that same
[1331.0s] spell again that resistance spell um so should he just should i just roll so it would be
[1336.6s] that is his turn flaming kins there's like i can't fucking do shit thea no sorry uh and
[1343.6s] then it's back to you and donnie so yeah we'd say you'd have to make a constitution
[1349.3s] saving throw at the end of his turn uh that is a 17 you can add a d4 to that if needed
[1358.1s] and a d4 because why the heck not that is a 21 you see the stone begin to retreat from donnie
[1365.8s] as he stands up he's like well that was a shitty experience yeah but we went through
[1371.4s] together donnie yeah high five over here all right with my hand claw which clearly i have
[1376.4s] yeah that's weird right didn't we decide that it was like weird baby hands yeah and also you
[1381.4s] have a pretty bitching hat so right well not anymore now it's just tiny oh yeah well that
[1387.3s] makes it even more bitching that's adorable it's adorable Nulara you told me that it was
[1392.2s] adorable is it not adorable no it's no donnie it's adorable you look amazing oh i'm gonna have
[1397.2s] a compLex no i gotta hang out with you all the time i wouldn't want you to look like an idiot
[1401.4s] shit all right where are we we're in a maze donnie i think the stone is at the same place we've been
[1407.8s] forever yeah somebody ought to uh pick up that diamond you look back to the diamond and it is
[1413.6s] gone motherfucker well how about thea turns to her right and says how about we go this way you
[1420.9s] guys do you do you go as a group do you split up what are you doing well traditionally
[1426.3s] we love splitting the party so oh we never split up yeah you kind of follow each other around
[1431.8s] throughout this throughout this maze about a minute passes as you're trying to find some
[1438.1s] sort of exit and you seem to be just kind of looping around not really getting anywhere
[1444.7s] and you hear the beating of hooves and charging out from in front of you thea
[1451.9s] the gorgon returns
[1455.7s] releasing his breath directly down towards you so thea and flint need to make a constitution
[1463.7s] saving throw i get stuck and i don't get to fight this gorgon again that's an 18
[1470.3s] oh yeah that's an 18 without any added fun so you're fine but you get a gore attack there
[1477.4s] thea for a 19 so that's gonna be 20 piercing damage oh yeah and you must make a strength
[1486.4s] saving throw as you were thrown about 13 and you were knocked prone and as a bonus action
[1495.1s] the gorgon stomps on you with his hooves holy shit for a 17 that will hit me for another
[1506.2s] 15 bludgeoning damage oh my god damn so he is currently on top of you and will continue
[1514.0s] in initiative order so i guess we'll go back to the top there Nulara you and donnie are up
[1521.7s] did he drop a diamond when he released his breath weapon yes you see down in the mist
[1527.3s] a crystallizing diamond form as he is stomping on your friend okay i hope my friend starts
[1534.3s] crawling towards that she's really tough she'll be fine in spirit yeah she's tough in spirit her
[1541.2s] body is weak and brittle she's very willowy and slender uh okay i am going to uh you know try
[1553.1s] and stab stab the guy that is a 20 19 damage yeah i'm gonna do it again because i got 22
[1564.7s] it's 22 damage uh donnie's gonna try and recharge hey it worked guys guys it worked
[1572.9s] worked so he uh is going to well god can he even do that where is everybody here
[1579.6s] thea is directly underneath the gorgon but like she's up a little she's all flat on the ground
[1585.8s] oh i'm so flat on the ground so prone i'm trying to be very like unassuming and
[1592.2s] yeah so maybe he'll stop stomping on me if i pretend i'm not there like sinking into the
[1599.4s] grass um i think that now that donnie has recharged he's not gonna shoot fire when
[1609.0s] he is right there seems like a bad idea so he'll he'll he'll do a he'll do a bite move
[1616.3s] which is a 19 okay for seven damage and then he will do that again uh but that is only a 14
[1626.3s] so that's probably a big old nothing 14 doesn't hit so donnie leaps almost on top of and begins
[1633.4s] biting at the gorgon as it begins attempting to buck him off and flint what's the what's the
[1640.7s] deal with this diamond russ is it directly below the gorgon what's what's the situation
[1644.8s] here yeah it looks like it formed like it started its its breath kind of as it came out
[1649.7s] of the the greenery so it's kind of just behind where the gorgon is right now and since the
[1656.4s] gorgon is all like distracted from stomping on thea would i be able to make some sort of
[1661.5s] acrobatic like run and jump uh kind of off to the side and maybe go grab this diamond
[1668.6s] if you roll for it well i suppose i could roll for it this is d and d after all hey nat 20 again
[1676.3s] oh my goodness the sweetest of flips occur yeah so i do like some parkour moves using like the
[1683.0s] hedge the side of the hedge and like run up the hedge kind of crouching tiger style
[1688.0s] and uh jump in behind and grab this diamond okay as you pick up the diamond thea and flint
[1694.9s] make a perception roll thea at disadvantage because you've got a gorgon stomping on top of you
[1700.3s] as a 16 for flint 14 i rolled a 15 and a 14 plus an eight oh right plus eight 22 you've
[1707.7s] been adding your modifiers yes i have just not right now so flint as you pick this up
[1714.6s] uh you and thea hear greenery like moving um and you see down the corridor behind you
[1724.1s] a doorway open up about 30 feet down the next aisle that you were right beside there
[1731.4s] do i alert everyone can everyone else see this is it just something that we can see what's
[1735.7s] happening here it's just that something that you two have seen uh everybody else is kind
[1740.6s] of out of eye shot of where they would be able to see it i do should we like attack
[1745.1s] this thing or like disengage and run for it what's what's the group consensus here
[1749.4s] run flint but you're kind of trapped under this army crawl my way out it'll be okay
[1756.8s] uh i don't want to abandon everyone carla any thoughts it's in the moment man
[1761.1s] time's ticking turn's gonna be over in five four three uh i'm gonna attack the gorgon okay
[1769.4s] stab it in the butt you're behind it right i am behind it gonna pull a real carla butt
[1774.2s] stab here yep no carla's not there it's Nulara yeah but it was carla who wanted to do the
[1782.1s] uh that's a 25 on the first attack yes sir uh so that's 14 damage okay i'll give a second
[1789.6s] attack uh and that's a 21 on the second attack yes sir oh that's only 10 damage
[1796.8s] swiping your axe into its butt uh you begin to
[1804.5s] create new butt cracks as it becomes uh thea's turn oh god is this does this thing have me
[1813.1s] pinned with its big no you're not fucking you're not pinned you are prone though all right
[1817.0s] while i'm prone can i cast a spell well i'm in a wild shape sure yeah i'm in a wild
[1824.6s] shape into a winter wolf look at me with all my hit points i yell guys a door yes winter wolves
[1834.2s] can speak common we've already been over it it's just been so long since she wild shaped these
[1838.7s] are for the it has been it has been and you know for any new listeners sure so yes they do
[1844.2s] speak basic common and i say guys a door and i disengage Flamikins kens yells a window it's
[1853.7s] not a window from the window to the wall yeah yeah it's from yeah finish finish the lure
[1860.4s] dress seems like it would be a song Flamikins kens would be that's true yeah yeah facebook.com
[1866.6s] slash dumb dragon cast group i don't know what the fuck it is go put that song in there now
[1870.4s] oh yeah oh and the beyonce to the left oh yeah yeah got a couple in this one uh so i
[1877.8s] i yell to them that there's a door and i i want to disengage and dash to the door okay you are
[1886.7s] i'm gonna dnd disengage and dash that's right so how far are you going well i can move 50 feet
[1898.6s] okay i'm gonna go right to the fucking door okay and just wait because guys i'm like
[1905.7s] i'm hurting real bad i want nothing to do with any more fighting that's fine um
[1912.7s] now with this bullshit right ah
[1917.8s] Flamikins kens comes around the corner and she's like what's going on oh shit and then Flamikins
[1923.3s] kens casts dimension door what's that she teleports herself from her current location
[1929.4s] to another spot within range and she arrives at exactly the spot desired so she's going to
[1935.8s] dimension door herself right oh that's the girl oh excuse me she sends the girl on a one
[1943.8s] why Flamikins kens why uh Flamikins kens dimension doors right over to the door and then it's
[1950.5s] thaddeus's turn he starts like big time like what the where's what she comes in like almost
[1955.9s] at a run hey i like snarl like these squares on your map are roughly 10 by 10 exactly 10
[1963.6s] by 10 i think if that is like hugs the fucking uh the shrub wall and dashes over there he can
[1973.1s] just zip right on over to that door like you guys have been walking around the maze so you
[1977.6s] kind of have a feeling that um where thea and Flamikins kens is he could get to from the
[1984.6s] other side it's just based on your travels through so he could dash and get to thea without
[1989.6s] even passing the gorgon okay he will do that then yeah so wait maybe he should like yeah no
[1996.0s] he'll do that that's fine yeah so thaddeus uh turns and heads back down a pathway that you
[2001.2s] guys have kind of researched and heads back to the group over there and then it is the gorgon's
[2011.8s] turn boom he likes you go home and as the gorgon kind of sees all the commotion of everybody
[2022.2s] running away and moving uh flint you look down in your hand and the diamond begins to disappear
[2028.6s] and as the diamond disappears so does the door son of a bitch and the gorgon releases another
[2036.7s] breath out in your direction flint and down and banks around the corner
[2043.8s] to where uh Flamikins kens thea and thaddeus are and you all need to make a constitution saving throw
[2052.7s] it probably doesn't hit thaddeus but that is just out of range for all these things
[2057.0s] yeah he's lucky it's pretty good uh that's a 17 for flint oh Flamikins kens doesn't do well
[2061.8s] either so Flamikins kens and thea are now petrified and flint you see at the base of
[2069.4s] where the gorgon is about 10 feet away a new diamond forming in place and just for good
[2077.4s] measure the gorgon charges you with of course yeah oh it doesn't do well though that's a 14
[2084.2s] oh hooray yeah uh new laura you're up so whereabouts is that diamond
[2091.3s] it is about 10 feet in front of the gorgon so on the opposite side of where you are currently
[2096.9s] located it turned and faced towards flint and the rest of the group so i have to stab it in
[2102.1s] the butt again wow is it always behind so i'm not like i'm not really into butt stabbing all
[2108.9s] of a sudden just as always facing away from me or maybe i always have been i mean everybody's
[2117.0s] got secret character motivations right this is like an m night shamAlydin level twist here
[2122.1s] yeah it's my twist butt stabs uh okay so let's go for the old butt stab that is a 25
[2132.1s] yeah that's a solid butt stab and that is eight that is 24 damage whoa that is almost
[2141.0s] the most i could get i'm gonna do it again i'm not gonna do it again that was a 12
[2147.6s] well like you needed to you just nailed you just gave more damage in that one roll than i have
[2153.4s] since we started recording this episode because it would zero i've given zero to
[2160.5s] okay how far okay is it is our map positions right now accurate uh as far as i've been
[2168.5s] trying to keep up with them so yeah they should be fairly accurate have you determined
[2173.4s] in canon that breath weapons go through shrubberies because i feel like you have
[2179.8s] didn't that just happen with the gorgon well it went through like the doorway in front of it
[2183.8s] and banked around like it hit the wall and kept going well i noticed that it's bleeding but
[2190.6s] it's kind of sticking behind that oh well that's because i can't put it anywhere else
[2195.9s] like it just where the thing that's okay i think donnie's gonna sure its butt is hanging
[2202.7s] no it's fine i mean it's a it's a fire weapon so fire can go through trees trust me as we have
[2209.3s] all learned in british columbia oh yeah like light this shit up yeah fire fire can go through
[2214.6s] trees so he is going to do his fire weapon which means ye old gorgon needs to uh do a
[2228.5s] deck save and this is not going to be good it's going to be amazing it's going to be a seven
[2235.9s] it's going to be seven does that save it's it's it doesn't see it coming it just goes
[2240.6s] straight up its butthole oh jeez jesus oh boy did donnie put his lips to it like how is his
[2248.4s] oh my god why with the visual no the butthole it's too far russe did you hear how many dice
[2257.2s] a lot of dice anytime i get a lot of dice it's 22 damage so canonically he's blown this fire
[2265.7s] up his butthole and cooks him from the inside out and bursts in a cloud of stony dust vapor
[2275.9s] and as he does those watching the diamond it does the same thing and dissolves into the
[2281.9s] ground so we're going to go through and make some saving throws at this point uh it would be
[2288.4s] flint's turn next if there's anything you want to do flint uh i go and cheer real loud
[2295.5s] for thea's saving throw that she's going to make all right make a constitution saving throw
[2300.6s] the uh
[2305.0s] oh not 20 whoa i have to whisper to my dice right against a fall away and you are back the same
[2313.0s] Flamikinskins however did not fare so well and as the stone falls away you're kind of just
[2319.8s] watching Flamikinskins hoping the same happens but nothing does happen

[2419.3s] no promises but maybe but let's jump back into the action and see if they can figure out
[2424.5s] this diamond riddle diamonds can be pricey though so you know it might be tough have
[2429.3s] a great week we'll talk soon that is kind of gives the old like chin like thinks about it
[2439.6s] for a second he says i might uh rust does the voice for this guy but he sounds like an old man
[2445.3s] says i might have something for this and he digs around in his spell component pouch
[2451.2s] and he opens up a couple different containers and he can't quite find what he's looking for
[2454.7s] and finally he finds a container with the ruby dust in it and he puts a little bit in his palm
[2461.5s] and just blows the the ruby dust over the the statue form of flamikins and says
[2469.4s] heal thyself he's casting greater restoration uh the ruby dust sprinkles down over top of
[2477.0s] flamikins and she she was like standing with her face and like a weird kind of motif seems
[2483.6s] pretty normal for her and as the stone falls away she's like okay we're back are we out yet
[2490.6s] uh nope not yet guys we gotta we gotta game plan this it seems like we only have a limited
[2495.7s] time with the open exit and the diamond so uh i think next time we gotta have people like
[2502.6s] make a break for the exit right away and then we gotta get lucky with some some some
[2508.2s] acrobatic type of stuff and get that diamond and go agreed how's everybody feeling
[2515.0s] i've been better but i'm okay you're still a wolf form right i am perfect that's good because
[2521.9s] that will be more uh acrobatic than i assume everybody's gone over to where the stone stone
[2528.6s] features were thereabouts oh yeah if everyone was yeah like as you guys are game planning
[2535.8s] you begin to hear the sound of hooves again so this is your time so if you're doing anything
[2540.4s] in particular okay you guys as soon as you see the diamond one of us will grab it once that
[2546.0s] stone door opens up and makes itself known we just need to high tail it there get it high
[2554.1s] tail it there i swish my tail i i mean agreed i think whoever grabs it run to the door and
[2561.6s] try to open the door maybe the door will stay open once it's open as you finish discussing this out
[2567.4s] of the greenery right behind flint you hear the charging hooves of the gorgon as he runs towards
[2574.7s] and blasts its petrifying breath out and down towards flint thaddeus and thea god i had to be
[2582.9s] in the fucking corner please nobody puts baby in the corner 11 uh thaddeus got a 16 and flint
[2593.6s] got a 15 and i say not again mother and then as i turn to stone thea turns to stone again
[2601.9s] and flint and thaddeus are fine except for the charging trample that flint receives
[2607.8s] uh that's a natural 20 35 piercing damage and you must make a strength saving throw
[2617.0s] so that's 32 damage let me just subtract three from that small victories oh boy okay that's a
[2625.6s] lot of uh that's a lot of damage and a strength throw you bet that is a 15 that doesn't make it
[2633.5s] you are knocked that makes no and as a bonus action it tries to trample you with its hooves
[2640.9s] wait a minute wait a minute wait one goddamn minute waiting waiting i am going to use my
[2649.0s] indomitable skill and re-roll a saving throw that i fail
[2654.3s] 17 that makes it so you are not prone yay and it doesn't trample you with its hooves
[2664.6s] even better yeah that doesn't feel good doesn't feel good it did not look fun when you were
[2669.1s] doing it so no uh Nulara you were up did it drop a diamond did it drop it you were around
[2675.8s] the corner presently so unless you move around the corner you may not be able to see if only
[2682.2s] someone else who could see asked regardless right do you remember the plan i am going to
[2693.0s] i was busy saving things i know you were rolling around and like not getting stomped on it was
[2699.0s] amazing i assume i couldn't see i'm gonna come around the corner though and uh you know i guess
[2706.0s] try and stab it in the front this time which seems seems crazy but well maybe it'll work
[2712.7s] maybe it'll work uh it's a 25 that will hit so you push your way through
[2720.6s] and uh make it in front not on the hedges but you're like yeah you're beside flint not
[2725.8s] standing on top of it in the front and the back yeah so that is 24 damage okay i'm going
[2733.4s] to try and stab it again but i failed because i rolled a nine that will not hit okay donnie's
[2741.1s] gonna try and recharge didn't work he wasn't gonna use it anyway because all of his friends
[2745.2s] are in the way this time but he's gonna try to bite he he fails he's gonna try again
[2753.0s] and he probably succeeds because as a 24 yeah 11 damage
[2759.0s] oh hey now do i see a diamond you sure do right at uh like pretty much right at your feet within
[2767.8s] five feet of where you are great i'm super gonna grab it you grab it and right behind you in the
[2773.2s] same spot that it was before right behind where you the main group of you is pretty much where
[2778.9s] i'm frozen yeah no donnie you know oh there's a lot of people in here i know we're all up
[2784.2s] there clustered yeah you're there you're there you're there there's a gorgon here sure you're in
[2790.5s] that vicinity but right where thea is okay the hedges move away and an exit forms flint should
[2797.7s] i go try and open the door guys you're it's it's an open oh no you're not like it's an
[2802.5s] open we've been over this i'm sorry oh it's not right beside me yeah i'm like right beside
[2809.4s] you can i just hand it to you i mean i guess can i because i can i just can i just steal it from
[2815.7s] her hand yeah yeah absolutely i feel like we should all go at once but i will go all right
[2822.0s] i'm gonna i'm gonna disengage i don't even think i've been fighting this thing i'm gonna
[2826.2s] disengage yeah well you're within range so yeah i'm gonna book it over to that opening with
[2831.7s] my diamond in my hand oh sure he's stealing the diamond so you're gonna stand like right
[2837.3s] in the entryway like it's open like essentially it's just another pathway down a maze yeah
[2842.9s] essentially i'm going to stand in the way as if there was a door there that might try to close
[2847.7s] and i'm at the supermarket and it's not going to be able to close because i'm in the sensor
[2851.7s] i like it uh anything else you're doing before we go to the next person uh i tell everyone
[2856.6s] to get the fuck over here see how does that sound like a character and whatnot tom uh it's
[2862.7s] really i'm just running and grumbling so it's like and then i'm over at the door
[2868.4s] and we've been with him long enough to know you guys got the gist of it clearly get the
[2872.4s] fuck out of here um thea your turn 19 so the stone falls away from you and that's the end of
[2879.0s] your turn yeah um but you are right beside the the entrance that's not gonna turn
[2884.8s] yeah she does it's her turn next oh Flamikins kins um hurl something just vomit
[2895.2s] did she just oh she literally just hurls does she have a nervous tummy when she fights
[2901.2s] rough night guys rough night uh that's gonna be five feet away from me so i'm just gonna
[2907.0s] go stand with you flint and see what happens okay can you can you drag thea over here with
[2913.0s] you i pull her does she what her hair she moves but she growls oh yeah she's a wolf
[2923.2s] fatius's turn yeah he's just gonna back away and go for the fucking door while the pathway
[2929.7s] that's open yeah so he backs away and continues to go for the door everybody is standing
[2935.3s] roughly in the doorway as it becomes the gorgon's turn and where before as it readied its
[2941.2s] petrifying breath the old diamond would disappear flint you look at it now standing within this
[2946.7s] newly created maze exit the diamond remains present but the gorgon still gets a turn and
[2953.4s] tries to gore uh Nulara why did i roll your dice fuck oh it was bad guys it was a 15
[2964.6s] 15 to hit okay doesn't hit and then it's Nulara's turn i can use well i probably don't even
[2971.3s] need to use this can i just like run away yep you can disengage and run okay that's what i am
[2977.1s] going to do donnie's gonna come with me all right so both of you uh disengage and run
[2983.7s] towards the group that is standing in the exit um and as you continue down the path you turn
[2990.5s] and see that the gorgon stops at the passageway that is created and kind of steps back and tips
[2997.1s] his hat because he was wearing a hat that we didn't say um exhales a giant green plume
[3005.0s] and turns and exits into the hedges beside it and you guys run back down this maze that
[3012.2s] is created and after a short while you enter back into the sundial room where the shadows
[3020.5s] are pointed still at a through h i see why sundials are no longer in favor
[3042.9s] music in today's episode was by Kavin mcleod of incompetech.filmmusic.io i mean sorry about
[3048.9s] your cat but um it's kind of dark and angry yeah no i wish you hadn't said that i didn't like
[3056.0s] it at all i think you should probably cut that part out someone's gonna be like how did you
[3061.0s] know my cat died and then we don't need dead cat stuff happening well maybe it's something
[3066.4s] more innocent like they had to switch the cat from wet food to dry food and they're and
[3071.4s] we're just sorry about it yeah because the cat's not happy yeah however however they're probably
[3077.7s] happy because wet cat food smells disgusting oh yeah it does not smell good confirmed doesn't
[3082.5s] smell good not just not just you doing them over and over and over again just kind of like
[3088.7s] kind of how we do this joke over and over and over again yeah i know apologies it's been a
[3093.9s] while we'll brainstorm better jokes no we won't we won't brainstorm better not a chance
[3098.6s] let's stumble upon one and then hold on to it forever forever correct gorgon charges out
[3105.3s] charges charges charges right at you if i die this round doesn't mean i don't have to play
[3111.4s] the rest of this game you won't die Dumbgeons and dragons is a dumb dragons production
