[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.2s] Hey you guys, we have three of these
[5.0s] stupid stones, and by three I mean six. Let's find one more.
[8.9s] Why do we think there's one more? Because there are seven exits. Isn't there technically eight exits?
[13.9s] We count the bullshit sundial hole. That makes nine.
[19.8s] You notice Flame begins and she goes and sits down and kind of leans up against the hedge and you continue talking
[24.8s] there for a little while and then you look back and she's disappeared.
[28.0s] Told her not to wander off. Flint leans up against the hedge and falls through.
[33.5s] You emerge within sight of a circle at the foot of the tower.
[39.8s] You all begin to walk into the circle and as each of you steps into the circle, you are teleported into another room.
[47.1s] Look at these symbols. I like to sit. I like to sit a lot. I like to write upside down letters.
[52.3s] And I press the star. A few seconds pass and the white light comes and you enter another chamber
[59.4s] and it's clearly the workplace of a wizard. As you begin being pelted by sharp shards of ice,
[67.3s] as you look up you see five cult members standing from a high up balcony.
[74.2s] Ice to see you. Talk about a chilly reception.
[77.5s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. We're a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast and I'm your dungeon master Russ More and with me today is Amy More.
[89.1s] I have a foot cramp and I play Thea Amastasia. Also with me Carla Johnson.
[95.8s] I have a dog with me. No foot cramp. And I play new Laura Moonbrook.
[102.9s] And finally Tom Laird. I am dog free, no foot cramp, although my back's a little tight.
[110.9s] And I play Flynn Firebeard. This is a good rundown of things happening and ailments.
[117.4s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. This is what it's going to be like in 50 years guys.
[123.4s] Next time we're going to list our medications. I'm on the Zantac.
[128.0s] Oh, excellent. That's a fun one.
[131.0s] No, I don't even know.
[134.2s] Cialis, are you looking for Cialis?
[135.9s] Oh, Cialis, there you go.
[137.7s] That's boner medication. That's for boners.
[140.4s] The most important medication.
[145.5s] All right, so in 2068, tweet us which boner medication you're on.
[152.6s] Oh, there's going to be so many by that time.
[154.0s] Everyone will just have robot boners, I think.
[156.5s] Oh, that's even better.
[158.0s] That's going to be really awkward when you get that, like when it, you know,
[161.0s] when the machines take over.
[165.8s] They are taking over.
[167.4s] It'll just be like, and you'll know what's happening because you'll hear,
[172.9s] you can hear the boner because obviously it's not going to be silent.
[176.4s] Somebody stop me.
[179.0s] Oh, God. OK.
[180.7s] And that wasn't like a mask, like somebody stop me.
[183.6s] That was a legitimate cry for help.
[185.8s] So this is the perfect time to remind you that we're on Patreon.
[189.4s] When you're a patron, you get an episode dedicated to us,
[192.0s] like our lucky patron today.
[193.8s] Dedicated to us? That's very, very kind of us.
[197.8s] Is this one just for us?
[199.0s] It's nice of the patrons to dedicate episodes to us.
[202.4s] Somebody else say it, because I don't think I just said it wrong.
[206.3s] No, you 100% did.
[207.8s] I mean, you're going to change it in the edit process,
[210.4s] so we'll all look like bullies, but to be fair,
[213.6s] we're still bullying you a little bit, but based on what you actually said.
[218.7s] You know, when you're a patron, you get an episode from us dedicated to you.
[225.7s] That's what I meant to say.
[226.9s] And today's episode is dedicated to Kyle Grichow.
[230.8s] Kyle, you get all this row boner dog barking.
[238.0s] Paisley thinks you're great, too.
[240.4s] Paisley's on Team Kyle.
[241.8s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[243.8s] You can go give it a check and see if it's for you.
[247.1s] Because there's fun stuff, like whole other storylines and character sheets,
[252.2s] and you get to see our dumb faces once a month.
[255.0s] Oh, also, if it's not for you,
[256.9s] we will literally just change everything about ourselves to make it just for you.
[263.0s] I mean, we hadn't talked about that before, but I don't see why not.
[267.6s] We've been making small changes here and there.
[269.2s] I wouldn't say it's been an entire overhaul,
[271.2s] but, you know, we're tweaking it to make it a good community
[273.4s] that everybody wants to be part of.
[274.9s] Oh, he's got a real high real high little defensive there, Russ.
[279.9s] No, I don't think so.
[281.4s] I don't know.
[281.8s] Bring it down an octave.
[284.6s] Don't be stuck.
[285.4s] He's stuck up there now.
[290.3s] So you found yourself out of the maze.
[292.5s] It doesn't seem as like scary provoking anymore.
[295.6s] That's fair.
[296.2s] Yeah, they're going to murder you.
[297.4s] All of you.
[299.5s] Now that's creepy.
[300.3s] Then it got scary again.
[301.5s] You turned it back around.
[303.2s] Bringing it back.
[304.6s] Fuck it.
[305.0s] Let's play D&D.
[308.3s] Everybody remember what happened last time?
[310.6s] Shit.
[311.5s] There was a there was something we needed to solve
[314.1s] and we actually kind of started to figure it out in one episode, you guys.
[319.5s] Yeah, the elevator.
[321.6s] It was pretty monumental.
[323.0s] It was crazy.
[324.2s] It was crazy.
[325.6s] Yeah, you guys did good.
[327.3s] Russ thought it was going to take six to 10 episodes,
[329.7s] but it didn't.
[330.7s] But it didn't.
[331.4s] I mean, we've been in here for eight.
[334.1s] So many.
[334.7s] Okay, well, let's just stay positive.
[336.5s] Yeah.
[337.1s] So yeah, you figured out the buttons.
[340.1s] Some wizards are snowballing us now.
[342.2s] And now you're being snowballed in an observatory.
[345.8s] A literal snowball.
[346.9s] Yeah.
[347.5s] And you had just entered this apparent observatory,
[350.8s] judging by the fact that there was a massive telescope there
[353.4s] and tomes and scrolls laying out various astrological phenomenon
[357.8s] when suddenly the room was filled with an unexpected ice storm.
[362.8s] Seems weird.
[364.4s] You're being bludgeoned by sleet and hailstones.
[367.4s] As you squint through the haze, you see four figures standing on a tucked away balcony.
[372.8s] The most intimidating figure dressed in hooded black robes with leather armor
[377.7s] wields a tall wooden staff with a red gem seated atop.
[382.0s] He calls down to your group and he says,
[385.4s] Surprised to see you made it this far.
[387.4s] I was so hoping I could tell Severin that you were stuck in Xantho's Maze for an eternity.
[394.2s] Now, well, I shall deliver you and the traitorous Iskender to him myself.
[399.1s] And as he finishes his speech, the ice storm takes a final swirl,
[403.1s] dealing a bunch of health, eight healing, 13 bludgeoning damage and 10 cold damage,
[413.3s] which if you're immune to cold, you don't take the cold damage.
[416.3s] And if you got halfsies, takey backsies, halfsies, you take half of that.
[423.0s] So is how much damage?
[425.8s] So the base value is 13 bludgeoning, 10 cold.
[430.1s] Do with it what you will.
[431.0s] 10 bludgeoning, 10 cold.
[432.6s] Gotcha.
[433.2s] Clearing your eyes, you see the four cultists begin to float down to the ground.
[437.7s] Two of them, the apparent leader and another,
[441.3s] begin disappearing from sight before their feet touch the observatory floor.
[446.0s] Everybody make a perception check.
[448.8s] I'm going to roll with my blue dice.
[450.6s] Nope, right off the top.
[452.7s] I've never seen blue dice before.
[456.4s] Flammikin's got a one.
[458.2s] Wow, is Flammikin's like blind now?
[460.1s] Yeah, she had a lot of ice in her eyes.
[462.2s] Spludgeoned in the eyes.
[464.5s] Sorry, perception?
[465.8s] You betcha.
[467.2s] I only got a 10.
[468.8s] I got a 16.
[469.9s] I got a 21.
[471.3s] Oh, that's much better than mine.
[472.6s] As these people are floating to the ground,
[475.8s] then just before the two of them disappear completely,
[478.1s] you see the glint of a white Glimering hourglass hanging from the leader's belt.
[483.9s] And then he vanishes.
[487.2s] Roll for initiative.
[489.7s] 21.
[490.2s] Um, three?
[491.7s] 17.
[492.2s] What's three?
[493.0s] 21.
[495.0s] I rolled a two.
[495.7s] I got to roll for Thaddeus too.
[497.7s] Thaddeus had a 14.
[500.0s] Okay, Nularaaaa, you are up first.
[503.0s] And the room is 50 by 50 in diameter.
[506.5s] There's a telescope right in the middle,
[508.1s] which is about 20 feet by 20 feet,
[510.2s] extending up to the open ceiling.
[512.2s] Tables along the outer of the room that are covered in books
[515.3s] and hailstones that line the perimeter and the floor,
[518.8s] creating difficult terrain.
[521.5s] Unless you're a winter wolf, I'm sure.
[523.4s] Unless you're a winter wolf, I'm sure.
[525.8s] Probably rangers are good too.
[527.8s] What if you're a ranger whose favored terrain is in some sort of observatory?
[533.4s] Libraries covered in hail.
[535.3s] Libraries covered in snowstorms.
[538.2s] And you are along a southern edge of the room.
[543.6s] The fellows who just floated down to the ground,
[547.6s] they are on a westerly edge of the room.
[551.2s] You just came down from a balcony so that you see two of them.
[554.3s] Two of them disappeared.
[556.2s] Uh, okay.
[557.2s] How far away are they from me?
[559.9s] They are...
[560.8s] So calm and cool.
[561.9s] This is why we call her Cool Hand Lucy.
[563.6s] 25 feet.
[566.2s] Cool Hand Lucy.
[567.3s] That's me.
[568.2s] Oh, Cool Hand Lucy.
[571.0s] Uh, okay.
[571.8s] Well, I'm gonna just go try and stab one
[574.5s] because that's what I've got.
[576.9s] Uh, wait, I have other things.
[579.1s] Let me see.
[579.8s] Let me try and do another thing too.
[581.8s] Sure, you do you.
[584.0s] You know, other things.
[586.2s] Other things.
[587.9s] That I can also do.
[590.2s] I wonder if you lit your flaming sword
[592.6s] and like held it by your feet as you walked,
[594.6s] if it would make it not difficult terrain for you.
[599.0s] Yeah, do that.
[600.6s] Uh, okay.
[601.5s] As a bonus action, I am going to cast Hail of Thorns.
[608.5s] Yeah, you're using spells.
[610.6s] If I hit someone, something's gonna happen.
[613.7s] Sweet.
[614.9s] Let's see if I can hit them first though.
[617.5s] Shall we?
[618.9s] We shall.
[619.5s] Hit them where it hurts.
[620.6s] Okay.
[620.9s] Hit them up style.
[621.8s] Like pretty much anywhere, like with a sword though.
[623.9s] Yeah.
[624.6s] Yeah.
[624.9s] I didn't hear.
[625.8s] Was Russ, did Russ seem game for this, like melting the ice?
[630.2s] Uh, while walking?
[633.5s] No.
[633.9s] Okay, well then I'm not gonna use that sword
[636.4s] because Dragon Slayer is better.
[638.3s] Fine Russ, that was like my one good idea.
[640.7s] Because it's difficult terrain, does that,
[642.2s] what does that mean?
[642.8s] I'm half speed?
[643.9s] Half speed.
[644.6s] Yeah, so I can't even get to those boners yet.
[650.1s] That's all they are to you, isn't it?
[652.2s] I'm gonna walk towards those boners and then I'm gonna, I guess.
[656.5s] Please stop saying boners.
[659.3s] That's what I'm calling them now.
[660.0s] I mean, since the beginning,
[660.7s] we've been talking about robot boners and now these boners.
[664.3s] Who dare said more dick jokes?
[666.7s] Who was that asshole?
[667.4s] That is true.
[668.0s] Somebody wanted more dick jokes.
[669.2s] It was an anonymous survey, okay?
[671.2s] Anonymous.
[672.8s] I'm gonna try and hit a boner.
[677.1s] I'm gonna try and hit one of them with my crossbow because.
[682.1s] And is he gonna fall back
[683.2s] and then just come back like a weird clown?
[685.0s] I'm like, oh.
[687.1s] Well, those wacky inflatable arm tube guys.
[690.1s] Yeah, it's probably not going to work because it's only a 12.
[695.2s] Does not hit.
[696.3s] Damn.
[696.8s] Okay, well, I'm gonna try again then.
[699.5s] Okay.
[700.7s] That one is better.
[701.9s] That is a 23.
[703.9s] 23 is better.
[705.2s] The first one just ricochets off of what you presume is armor underneath his robes,
[711.6s] but the second one strikes wherever you want it to.
[714.4s] Okay, so that is going to be four damage.
[719.2s] That's why this isn't my main weapon, people.
[721.6s] You could have done your hail of thorns thing too.
[723.7s] Well, I do that as well.
[725.5s] Stop bossing me around.
[726.9s] Yeah, Russ, she was getting to that.
[729.8s] Give the woman a moment.
[731.0s] Next time you hit a creature before the spell and blah, blah, blah,
[735.4s] spell creates a rain of thorns that sprouts from your weapon.
[740.2s] In addition to the normal effect of the attack,
[742.4s] the target and each creature within five feet of it
[745.4s] must make a dexterity saving throw.
[748.4s] Target and each creature within five feet of it?
[751.0s] Yeah.
[751.4s] Which is the other cultist?
[753.6s] Nope.
[754.3s] Okay.
[755.6s] One, sorry, one is going to be a nine, the one that you hit.
[761.2s] Okay.
[762.0s] And an invisible one is 15.
[764.6s] Oh, okay, great.
[767.0s] Invisibility.
[768.5s] Look at your spell save DC.
[770.3s] That's what they have to beat.
[771.8s] Thank you.
[773.2s] You're welcome.
[774.3s] That was what I was looking for.
[776.5s] That is a 15.
[778.2s] One gets four more damage.
[782.2s] Uh, and the other gets two damage.
[785.3s] My boy Donnie is going to try to recharge his breath weapon.
[791.4s] He didn't do it.
[792.4s] He didn't do it, but that's okay.
[793.7s] He's going to try and take a bite.
[796.7s] That is a 15.
[799.1s] 15 will hit, yes.
[800.7s] So he flies over to the same one you hit, sorry.
[804.0s] Uh, yes, the one that I hit more.
[808.1s] Yeah.
[809.2s] I mean, you don't technically know that you hit the other one.
[812.0s] Right.
[812.5s] That's true.
[813.2s] He's still, he didn't go, damn it.
[814.4s] You just feel good about it.
[815.7s] Yeah.
[816.3s] You would be like, uh.
[817.8s] Hey, I thought we were invisible here.
[820.9s] So that's eight damage and then he recharged, guys.
[828.1s] He recharged.
[831.0s] Remember that he has a fire breath weapon.
[833.4s] So that's going to clear some shit up for us and it's going to be great.
[837.7s] He's just going to go around melting hailstones.
[840.9s] Well, but here's the thing, my dude.
[844.4s] It's a 15 foot cone.
[846.1s] I am still more than 15 feet away from that guy.
[848.9s] He is right beside that guy because he just bit him.
[852.2s] So it is going to clear the ice between me and that dude.
[856.1s] Because he's just good like that.
[859.6s] And you need to do a dex save.
[864.8s] So 15 foot, oh yeah, it spreads out.
[866.9s] So you're going to hit the two that you can see and then another one will take some damage.
[874.6s] Unless, oh sorry, there's a saving throw, yes?
[876.9s] Yeah.
[877.2s] Dexterity.
[878.0s] Dex, yeah.
[878.9s] 13.
[879.6s] 17, a 17, and.
[882.8s] They are a dexterous boners.
[886.1s] Nine.
[886.9s] Okay, 24 and half that to the other guys.
[892.5s] Yeah.
[893.3s] Okay, so.
[895.6s] That's so much better than his old like 1d4 bite.
[899.3s] Yeah, totally.
[900.7s] Did I paralyze him?
[901.9s] No, okay.
[902.8s] So Donnie lets forth his flame breath.
[908.5s] And chars the first one that you had originally hit with your bow.
[914.1s] He's up in flames running around screaming in pain and falls to the ground.
[919.3s] You notice that the hailstones have begun to melt.
[922.5s] The other one that you can see, also a light, but not deceased.
[929.3s] And a humanoid becomes visible.
[934.2s] The outline of him becomes visible due to the fact that his clothes are on fire now.
[939.4s] That'll do it.
[941.4s] It's the one that's dead's turn.
[943.9s] So he's dead.
[944.7s] Excellent.
[945.0s] He dies.
[945.6s] Yeah.
[946.1s] Oh wow.
[946.5s] What a good turn.
[947.3s] Middle end turn, dead.
[948.9s] You, however, feel some pain, maybe.
[954.9s] Like emotional pain from killing someone?
[956.8s] Because that doesn't seem right.
[958.5s] It's any time it's real tough.
[960.9s] I mean, have we seen enemies be like burned to death before?
[964.2s] That might take a toll on you.
[965.7s] I'm pretty sure Amy once burned someone alive in their metal armor.
[969.7s] So I don't see how this would bother us at all.
[972.5s] I stand corrected.
[973.9s] Where does everybody else want to be in this room?
[976.1s] Either say north or south.
[977.4s] I imagine I would have like branched out to the south.
[981.4s] I think I just held my ground at the entrance of wherever like near the elevator.
[988.9s] We'll see if that is.
[992.1s] Elevator Lyftamatron.
[993.8s] Okay, so Thea, New Laura, and Flint, you see erupt from a point where there doesn't seem
[1004.2s] to be anything or anyone.
[1006.8s] A huge blast of cold air erupts and begins swirling towards you in a 60-foot cone.
[1013.8s] You must make a constitution saving throw.
[1017.1s] Oh, that's one of my good ones.
[1018.6s] Even if it's coldness, do I have to make one?
[1021.7s] It is cold damage, so you will.
[1025.4s] You're fine.
[1026.9s] You're fine.
[1027.8s] He hates that I turned into a winter wolf.
[1030.1s] Well, just for this occasion, because I was like, oh, cold.
[1032.5s] Nobody can stop against cold.
[1036.1s] And plus every other time he's been like, you need to change into a winter wolf more.
[1041.1s] Well, and I chose it, too, because like goddamn like wolf shit and like
[1045.7s] my little wolf dude up there.
[1048.7s] Also running out of hit points.
[1050.1s] Numbers over there, what did you say?
[1051.7s] 19.
[1052.4s] 12.
[1053.7s] Okay, so 19, you're going to take half damage.
[1056.4s] 12, you're going to take full damage.
[1059.3s] Bye.
[1060.1s] Which it's going to be eight D eights.
[1062.7s] Holy fuck.
[1064.7s] Forty six.
[1067.2s] Oh, my God.
[1069.5s] Four D six?
[1070.6s] Four D, four and then a six.
[1074.1s] Four tens and six ones, is that what you're telling me?
[1077.3s] Yeah.
[1077.9s] And I mean, this is magical, right?
[1080.4s] This is magical cold, so.
[1083.3s] I mean, yeah.
[1084.8s] Wait, can you you can't like pick cold as one of your like?
[1088.8s] Immunities.
[1089.7s] Ah, too bad.
[1090.9s] Yeah.
[1094.0s] Did you just clap for yourself?
[1095.7s] Yeah, that was a good hit.
[1097.3s] Good hit.
[1097.7s] Yeah, it was.
[1098.4s] Anyone else hating Russ right now?
[1101.7s] Guys giving himself accolades like.
[1104.1s] Laura's not feeling so good, guys.
[1106.3s] Okay, Flint, you're.
[1107.9s] Okay, so we got that going on.
[1113.7s] So there's one visible that's been hit, one that's
[1118.2s] outlined, that's on fire.
[1119.8s] He's like he's patting himself out so you can see like where he is.
[1124.1s] And then you hear muttering like, yeah, you saw kind of where the point of,
[1128.9s] you know, starting of this cold blast came from.
[1131.7s] Sure.
[1132.1s] Yeah, but aside from that, you don't see a physical person.
[1135.8s] And the the hill stones, aside from the path that Donnie lit up,
[1139.4s] are beginning to melt and there is no more difficult terrain.
[1142.7s] Okay, so then everybody's essentially within range.
[1145.5s] Yes.
[1146.7s] Okay, yeah, I'm going to run forward and slash at the guy that's on fire,
[1152.4s] that's invisible, that he was patting himself to try and like get rid of those flames.
[1157.0s] Yep.
[1157.7s] Give me that good roll.
[1158.9s] That is a twenty seven.
[1165.2s] It's a pretty good roll.
[1167.6s] Oh, sorry.
[1168.1s] Twenty nine.
[1168.7s] It's a twenty nine.
[1169.6s] That's even better.
[1171.0s] You hit him.
[1172.1s] So just tell me how you kill him unless you roll really low.
[1176.3s] Okay, well, I better roll something.
[1178.1s] Just make sure that is a nine.
[1183.9s] Is that going to do it?
[1184.6s] Is that low enough?
[1185.7s] Yeah.
[1185.9s] Tell me how you kill this guy.
[1187.5s] I see him like frantically trying to pat himself out while he's on fire.
[1191.8s] And I aim for just what I think should be his head region
[1195.7s] and just like step into a big overhand like chop like I'm chopping a log.
[1201.4s] Just go right down on it.
[1202.7s] Clearly see like a spiraled flame up where there should be a hood
[1206.9s] and it just lights the way for you as you split this guy who still remains invisible.
[1212.7s] But you can tell that there's going to be some some blood and guts and stuff
[1216.5s] when he when he gets not invisible.
[1218.8s] I mean, I would think he would turn not invisible once he's dead.
[1221.7s] Unless he didn't cast the spell.
[1225.9s] So you got another six fight fighting things there.
[1229.2s] I still have a couple more.
[1230.6s] That other guy that's not invisible should be near enough for me to just like spin and attack them.
[1235.7s] Yeah, they're with they're within.
[1237.3s] Yeah, they're within good range because they were all lit up by the same thing.
[1241.6s] OK, so when I managed to pull my axe out of the one dude's head,
[1247.3s] I just continue on with that motion and spin and chop into the dude that's next to me.
[1253.0s] Hey, that's the same role.
[1254.1s] Another twenty nine.
[1256.1s] That's a full damage of ten plus seven.
[1258.4s] So that's seventeen.
[1259.7s] So off the cleaving of the first one, you backhand this other one.
[1265.1s] And he kind of he doesn't see it coming.
[1268.0s] It's coming so fast.
[1269.7s] Well, that's the thing with my axes.
[1271.2s] You never see it coming.
[1272.1s] No. And he like turns and sees it just in time.
[1274.9s] So he's got this surprise look on his face as you kill him.
[1280.3s] Sure. Yeah.
[1281.7s] His name was Harold.
[1283.3s] He had a family.
[1285.5s] Then maybe he should have tried to murder us.
[1288.5s] Just throw it out there.
[1290.3s] We're reasonable people.
[1291.3s] He could have talked to us.
[1292.5s] It's fine.
[1293.3s] Could have.
[1295.0s] And I'm going to because I don't think I'm close enough to the other guy, correct?
[1300.8s] Well, the point of origin of the call where you think where I think he was.
[1305.0s] You are probably not.
[1306.4s] You don't have enough movement to get to that spot yet.
[1309.9s] OK, well, I'm going to kind of drop down on one knee
[1313.5s] and throw my Dwarven thrower towards that general area.
[1316.9s] That's fun.
[1320.4s] Do I need am I just rolling an attack roll or do you want something specific?
[1324.2s] Roll an attack roll with disadvantage.
[1326.8s] Oh, OK.
[1327.3s] Because you can't see it.
[1328.1s] Because you can't see it.
[1329.7s] Seems reasonable.
[1331.7s] So the first one is 13 and 9, so that's 22.
[1335.3s] Other one is 11 and 9, so that's 20.
[1337.5s] I mean, that's going to hit.
[1340.2s] Yeah.
[1341.0s] Dwarven thrower.
[1341.7s] Don't be all sad about it, Russ.
[1343.2s] You just gave me like 45 points of damage.
[1346.0s] You're still having a good mean DM game.
[1348.5s] Don't worry.
[1350.3s] You're so bad ass, honey.
[1352.4s] Russ is going to go to his calendar that just says mean DM games
[1355.4s] and put a little check mark on today was a win.
[1361.0s] OK, I guess I better roll some damage then.
[1362.6s] You better.
[1363.8s] Where's my D8?
[1365.2s] There we go.
[1368.4s] That is four plus two plus three.
[1371.0s] So that is nine damage.
[1373.6s] You hear it as your hammer hits.
[1377.5s] But the fellow who you hit still remains invisible.
[1384.1s] Now, should I really stick it to Amy and take my action surge
[1386.9s] and have another turn?
[1388.3s] You can.
[1389.3s] I don't mind.
[1391.0s] It's OK.
[1393.3s] No, that's all right.
[1394.1s] That will be the end of my turn.
[1395.3s] OK, Thaddeus's turn then.
[1397.5s] All right.
[1398.1s] So Thaddeus is going to throw a fire bolt into that same location.
[1403.4s] Where my hammer just hit just just because there's a large telescope
[1408.6s] in the middle of the room.
[1409.3s] And Thaddeus we placed on the other side of the room.
[1411.5s] I'm going to say he probably didn't see exactly where it was.
[1414.6s] So if he's going to do that, I mean, he can.
[1417.7s] But still, there's going to be either advantage for the guy or disadvantage.
[1422.1s] So I'm going to say he probably didn't see where it originated, though.
[1426.5s] I will roll with this advantage.
[1428.1s] I suppose that seems fair.
[1431.5s] What is his there?
[1432.7s] Is that a attack spell bonus?
[1435.3s] Much like Carla, I never know where the things are on the spell sheet.
[1438.4s] That's what Amy's here for.
[1439.5s] She can give you a hot tip.
[1440.7s] Oh, man.
[1441.1s] It's true.
[1441.6s] One was so good and one was not so good.
[1444.2s] So the 18 is not going to work.
[1445.9s] Let's do 14.
[1447.6s] 14 does not hit.
[1450.9s] Flamikins Kins is up and she's like, what are you guys throwing shit at?
[1455.5s] I don't see anything.
[1458.2s] She's going to ready her crossbow if somebody
[1462.1s] shows up.
[1464.1s] That guy's dead.
[1464.9s] Thea, your turn.
[1466.1s] What?
[1466.9s] Yeah.
[1468.3s] OK, where I am, did I see the eruption of the OK.
[1473.7s] You did.
[1474.1s] And you saw Flint's thing connect, his hammer connect.
[1478.1s] OK.
[1478.1s] So you know about where.
[1479.7s] Then I'm going to run up and bite him.
[1483.9s] Forgot for a second you were a wolf.
[1485.3s] Like, oh, that's an interesting tactic.
[1488.1s] Oh, with disadvantage.
[1493.3s] Did you roll the blue one?
[1494.3s] You're supposed to roll the blue one.
[1495.3s] I didn't roll the blue one.
[1496.5s] I'm going to roll the blue one.
[1497.3s] You could still roll.
[1497.9s] Let her roll the blue one, Russ.
[1502.1s] She rolled a three and a four.
[1503.7s] No, I didn't.
[1504.8s] I rolled a nine and a four.
[1506.5s] Oh, it looked like a three.
[1507.7s] No, it's a nine.
[1508.7s] So what's your what's your plus?
[1510.5s] 15.
[1512.5s] Oh, no disadvantage.
[1513.5s] So you get the four.
[1514.3s] Oh, I have to use the four.
[1515.7s] OK, then.
[1516.9s] So you run over and bite wildly into the air and don't connect with anything.
[1523.3s] Nulara, you're up.
[1525.1s] All that waiting.
[1525.7s] He's very intimidated.
[1529.0s] Is he scared?
[1529.9s] He's very scared.
[1530.6s] Is he helping away from me?
[1532.0s] It's a very big wolf that just came and chomped at him.
[1535.3s] Yeah, he doesn't.
[1536.7s] It's OK.
[1537.5s] It's all right, Carly.
[1538.2s] You don't need to make me feel better.
[1540.9s] How far away am I from the sponer?
[1544.5s] I'm going to keep going.
[1546.3s] From the I'm just about to drink my beer.
[1549.1s] OK, so here's here's the you saw where the cold came out.
[1552.2s] You saw where Flint's thing connected, but you also saw the go run to the same spot
[1559.2s] and not hit.
[1560.4s] So you don't want to say you probably don't know exactly where he is,
[1563.5s] but you are about 15 feet from the original location.
[1568.0s] Twenty twenty feet from the original location because you didn't really move on your last
[1571.9s] turn.
[1573.0s] Well, I guess I'm just going to run over and just fucking stab because why wouldn't I do
[1578.6s] that?
[1579.2s] Why wouldn't I just go over and try and stab?
[1581.7s] I mean, I saw it.
[1583.3s] I don't know.
[1583.9s] I guess I'll like triangulate between where Thea just bit and other things were happening.
[1590.0s] Sure.
[1590.9s] Maybe see where the the hammer is on the ground and like go for the hammer flies
[1596.5s] back to me, but you would have seen where Thaddeus through that bolt
[1601.6s] and it missed.
[1602.8s] So yeah, yeah.
[1603.8s] So I'm going to use all of that information to try and try and do something
[1607.4s] into the tank.
[1608.2s] Beautiful mind style.
[1609.5s] Exactly.
[1610.6s] The mind palace.
[1611.7s] Sherlock.
[1612.6s] Exactly.
[1613.3s] I was going to say you're stepping it all out.
[1615.8s] So do I do disadvantage with disadvantage?
[1618.5s] OK, so that was 18 and that was 10.
[1622.5s] So I guess that's a 10, but it's OK, guys.
[1625.6s] I have another turn so I can just wait.
[1627.3s] That's with your bonuses and stuff.
[1629.3s] Yeah.
[1630.2s] So I rolled a two.
[1632.0s] Yeah, I was going to say, because you have such high bonuses.
[1634.1s] You got some good rolls going on today, guys.
[1636.0s] Your first swing does go wide and you don't feel like you connect with anything.
[1641.5s] I'm going to move slightly in a different direction and try again.
[1645.8s] Sure.
[1646.5s] That is a 21 or.
[1651.6s] Ten.
[1652.4s] Fucking two.
[1653.1s] I'm getting rid of this d20.
[1655.9s] Out of everybody's.
[1657.3s] I'm going to get a different d20.
[1659.5s] Tom has an air bubble where he gets all high numbers.
[1662.4s] Amy's has a bubble where she gets all low numbers.
[1665.3s] Kyle's literally right in the middle.
[1666.9s] Yeah, I rolled a five when I had disadvantage.
[1670.9s] OK, so that goes wide as well.
[1672.5s] Do you stay where you are?
[1673.4s] Do you continue moving?
[1675.0s] I'm going to move because.
[1677.8s] Maybe just to get like out of the way if he does another one of those like big cone attacks.
[1681.6s] And because Donnie would like to try and take one of those big cone attacks.
[1685.6s] But I think my girl Thea is still just chilling there as a wolf.
[1689.7s] Yeah, kind of.
[1691.3s] So that might that might not happen.
[1693.8s] But let's see.
[1695.4s] I think Donnie is just going to have to.
[1697.8s] Well, let's do this.
[1699.3s] OK, he did recharge.
[1700.9s] So he is going to ready his fire breath for a time when he can see the dude.
[1709.4s] And his his bestie isn't standing directly beside the dude.
[1716.7s] OK, so it's the dude's turn.
[1720.0s] And calling him the dude.
[1721.5s] We're making him sound way cooler.
[1722.9s] Yeah, I call him.
[1723.9s] But what if he's the guy from the big Lebowski?
[1725.9s] Exactly.
[1726.4s] That's why he's a boner, not the dude.
[1729.7s] Gotcha.
[1730.4s] He becomes visible again and you can see him mixing a white Russian.
[1734.4s] Talking about how a rug really pulls the room together.
[1738.9s] Really does.
[1739.9s] So about 15 feet from where Thea and New Laura are centered, he becomes visible,
[1747.4s] which triggers Flammiken's crossbow, which she rolled low.
[1752.1s] So she's not going to hit.
[1753.3s] So she fires and just misses.
[1755.7s] But Donnie also gets his fire breath.
[1758.1s] OK, so he gets to do a dex save.
[1762.2s] OK, that's going to be a 15.
[1764.5s] OK, so he'll get half of 26 plus 7 is 33.
[1771.3s] So he'll get half of 33.
[1773.6s] 16.
[1774.8s] So the crossbow bolt goes wide and then Donnie lets loose his fire breath.
[1780.3s] He manages to get out of the way of the bulk of it.
[1782.9s] And then you see him vanish and then reappear up on top of the balcony.
[1789.1s] And he begins a low chant and a fireball begins to form in his hands
[1796.1s] that he releases down towards Donnie, New Laura and Thea.
[1799.5s] But that fireball is like one of those super slow fireballs.
[1802.6s] So it takes like three turns to get there.
[1804.3s] No, it's an action.
[1805.6s] So a bright streak flashes from his hand a 20 foot radius sphere.
[1812.1s] Oh my God.
[1813.0s] Centered on the point that you must make a dexterity saving throw.
[1817.3s] Oh, dear.
[1820.0s] Donnie is immune to fire damage.
[1822.5s] So he's good.
[1823.3s] Can he just like eat it up?
[1826.1s] Can he just absorb it and make him stronger?
[1828.7s] He just poops out an egg.
[1829.8s] Yeah, totally.
[1831.4s] And then we can use that egg against him.
[1834.5s] I got a 20.
[1841.5s] Holy shit, that's a lot of dice.
[1843.3s] It's a lot of dice.
[1844.2s] So many dice.
[1845.3s] Um, 14.
[1847.9s] So the fireball erupts out from his hand and comes flying down towards you
[1854.7s] and you all manage to succeed, but you still take half damage.
[1858.9s] Oh, God.
[1859.8s] Still, though, with that many dice, that seems like very important half damage.
[1863.3s] Oh, there's a lot of ones in here.
[1864.6s] You might be lucky.
[1865.6s] 10.
[1866.1s] Oh, did you roll a bunch of Amy's dice?
[1867.7s] Yeah, 20.
[1870.5s] Yeah, I see that stink eye, Amy.
[1872.0s] 30.
[1873.3s] I want 31.
[1875.3s] So half of 31.
[1876.0s] So you have 15 fire damage flying out towards you.
[1884.9s] I'm not feeling so good, guys.
[1890.4s] Hey there, I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More.
[1892.4s] Thanks for joining us for episode 55 of Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[1895.8s] It's mine.
[1897.1s] Just want to start off by saying thank you to Jason from Take20D&D,
[1900.8s] another great tabletop RPG.
[1902.5s] Livestream is what they do.
[1904.3s] You can check them out.
[1905.3s] Details down below.
[1906.5s] But why I'm thanking you today, Jason,
[1908.8s] is you nominated us for the Alberta Roleplaying Game Awards.
[1912.6s] Yeah, we're up for an award.
[1913.7s] Can you believe it?
[1914.7s] Which means we're going to be up for an award
[1916.9s] at IntrigueCon Tabletop Roleplaying Game Convention,
[1920.9s] which happens right where Amy and I are in Edmonton, Alberta,
[1925.5s] on Saturday, October 13th.
[1928.0s] It's a big awards ceremony.
[1929.5s] It's a big panel.
[1930.6s] So a whole bunch of stuff going on there.
[1932.5s] We're really excited because we were nominated by someone
[1935.3s] within the community for doing something that we love to do.
[1938.8s] So fingers crossed.
[1939.7s] It's not a voting thing.
[1941.5s] I'm not asking you to go anywhere and click on our name.
[1944.1s] It's all done by a super secret panel
[1946.3s] or who picks the winner or winners
[1948.0s] based on what they do in the community.
[1950.9s] So just fingers crossed for us.
[1952.7s] And hopefully after that weekend,
[1954.9s] we'll be able to have some good news
[1956.2s] about maybe winning an award.
[1957.5s] Either way, should be a fun convention.

[2020.1s] I don't know.
[2020.9s] It's tough to say.
[2021.7s] It's not a precise science.

[2054.8s] which will include everything in episodes 31,
[2057.6s] all the way up to this episode here, episode 55.
[2060.8s] Let's dive back into the observatory
[2062.4s] and see what's happening with those adventures, though.
[2064.4s] Have a great week.
[2065.3s] We'll talk soon.
[2072.2s] He begins to move backwards onto the balcony.
[2075.2s] And it's Flint's turn.
[2076.5s] I imagine he does.
[2078.1s] So Flint, you are.
[2079.3s] Hee hee.
[2084.5s] Flint, I've got you 20 feet from the base of the balcony.
[2087.7s] OK, how visible is he to me at the moment?
[2092.3s] You can just see like the top of his hood.
[2100.3s] And can we assume his head is under that hood?
[2104.1s] Maybe.
[2104.9s] Unless he put it on a hook.
[2107.7s] It's just a mannequin, you guys.
[2110.5s] You know, one of them hooks for helmets and hoods and whatnot.
[2114.7s] A hood hook.
[2115.9s] I'm going to climb on up there.
[2118.3s] OK, so you get up, but that expends your movement.
[2123.9s] And he is standing facing you.
[2127.7s] And is he like taunting me?
[2129.1s] What's happening?
[2129.9s] Oh, fucking double guns.
[2131.4s] Got the double gun salute.
[2132.5s] Mm hmm.
[2133.7s] Damn.
[2135.5s] Well, lucky my dwarven thrower flew back to my hand earlier
[2138.1s] because I can still throw it at him.
[2139.3s] Hold.
[2140.4s] As you step up, he releases a magic missile towards you.
[2146.6s] Three magic missile bolts come and hit you.
[2151.1s] And you're going to take 11 points of force damage.
[2155.7s] And you must also make a saving throw
[2160.0s] so you don't fall backwards on your head.
[2161.7s] Or your butt.
[2162.5s] Oh, the strength.
[2164.7s] Or your butt.
[2166.1s] Or my butt.
[2167.5s] Could have fallen on my butt.
[2168.6s] That's a good point.
[2171.1s] OK, so 17 and 4.
[2172.9s] That's 21 on the save.
[2175.2s] Yeah, so you don't fall backwards on your butt.
[2175.7s] And how many points of damage did you say I was taking?
[2177.5s] It was 11, so.
[2178.9s] 11.
[2180.5s] OK, I'm going to use my second wind.
[2182.9s] Do it.
[2183.5s] And regain myself some hit points in the meantime.
[2186.9s] D10 has a 6 plus 11 because we're, no wait, 12.
[2192.7s] So 6 and 12 is 18.
[2194.5s] So I'm only going to take minus 7 points of damage.
[2198.4s] So I get to heal 7 points.
[2199.9s] Hey.
[2200.5s] That's how it works.
[2202.1s] That's totally how it works.
[2203.5s] That's math for you.
[2205.4s] OK, so I'm still standing up on the ledge and he is within view.
[2210.1s] And now you guys are just staring at each other.
[2211.9s] Just like eyeballing each other.
[2213.8s] Mm hmm.
[2214.4s] Mm hmm.
[2215.0s] And I give them the double gun salute and and I throw the Dwarven thrower at him.
[2221.4s] Do it.
[2221.7s] Yet again.
[2223.5s] Wow.
[2224.0s] It's like he's daring me, you guys.
[2225.7s] Double don't do it.
[2226.7s] Oh, crit 20.
[2229.1s] He did it.
[2230.1s] You release the Dwarven thrower and it does how much damage?
[2236.9s] Well, I have to roll that part.
[2238.1s] Well, roll it, man.
[2239.0s] Like a million.
[2239.7s] Just like a million.
[2240.6s] I was celebrating my crit 20.
[2242.3s] Hang on, Ross.
[2243.5s] We are not a crit 20 in a little while.
[2245.1s] In a long time.
[2247.4s] OK, holy shit.
[2249.1s] I just rolled.
[2250.7s] I should take a picture of this.
[2252.2s] I don't because I just rolled max damage.
[2256.5s] So that is two eights.
[2258.3s] So 16 plus two plus three is twenty one.
[2264.3s] Wow.
[2264.9s] That was two like.
[2265.4s] Did you cave in his chest with this hammer?
[2267.4s] Amazing back to back rolls.
[2269.3s] You you get up and you take these these magic missiles and you're like, fuck that shit,
[2275.2s] because they crush him off and I get my shit back and like, whatever.
[2281.2s] That is what I say.
[2282.2s] I always like to say, whatever.
[2284.9s] And then you release your Dwarven thrower and it connects square in his sternum.
[2290.0s] Blood erupts from his mouth.
[2294.4s] And he like grabs on to it.
[2296.7s] But the Dwarven thrower pulls him back with it.
[2299.7s] Oh, that's a mistake.
[2300.7s] Yeah.
[2302.0s] And it throws him into the room as you hold on to the Dwarven thrower
[2307.3s] and he bounces off the telescope and falls to the ground.
[2311.3s] Like that guy in Titanic that fell off the fun landed on the propeller.
[2315.3s] Oh, totally like that guy.
[2317.2s] Good visual.
[2317.8s] Very undignified death he just had there.
[2320.4s] It is.
[2321.6s] But he is lying dead on the ground inside the observatory.
[2327.1s] I pad over and I with my winter wolf teeth pick up the.
[2334.9s] The oh my God, the sand hourglass.
[2338.9s] Thank you.
[2341.3s] It's my wolf brain.
[2342.2s] So it says like, I'm going to grab this sand thingy
[2344.9s] and I and I pick up the sand thing and I pad over to
[2348.5s] I think New Laura's closest to me and I go.
[2353.0s] OK, I take it.
[2353.7s] Is that other guy visible now who we killed before?
[2358.5s] Oh, yeah, as as the life leaves what looks like a very high level cultist
[2365.6s] individual, the guts of the other invisible person are now strewn about.
[2372.5s] All over everything.
[2373.7s] They're all over everything.
[2375.1s] Like you're like, I didn't think I was covered in blood, but actually.
[2378.1s] Turns out I'm covered in gore.
[2379.7s] Yeah.
[2381.9s] Oh, wait, could that could that guy who cast the spell see all the gore on me?
[2386.3s] Because that would have been not the nice thing to see right before he died.
[2389.7s] Yeah, you see, there was a look of a little bit of look of like in his eyes.
[2395.5s] Like, don't touch me.
[2396.5s] That's my friend.
[2397.3s] That was Harold.
[2398.9s] Well, he had a family.
[2400.5s] He had a family.
[2402.3s] He didn't even swing at you.
[2404.2s] I was on me.
[2406.0s] He was just trying to put himself out.
[2407.6s] He was on fire.
[2408.9s] And then you whispered, this was your fault.
[2414.5s] OK, everybody in the room with the dead body make a constitution.
[2421.7s] Say, oh, Jesus, already trying to research how to how to.
[2430.1s] Tom, you're not technically in the room.
[2431.3s] You're still up on the balcony.
[2432.6s] Oh, sweet.
[2433.3s] Well, should I still roll for Thaddeus, then?
[2434.9s] Oh, yeah, sure.
[2436.2s] OK.
[2436.9s] Well, that was let's just con bonus.
[2439.5s] Seven plus three.
[2440.6s] So that is a 16.
[2442.2s] Hey, twinsies.
[2444.5s] Thea, you pat over and you grab the hourglass and you hand it to Nulara and Nulara
[2448.9s] and Thaddeus, you feel drawn to the body that just fell into the room.
[2458.1s] You begin to without knowing why both of you walk over
[2462.7s] and you see on his on his belt a dagger.
[2469.7s] I mean, it looks simple enough, but you feel compelled to pick it up.
[2474.6s] Am I just watching them like?
[2476.6s] Well, they're like walking over, seemingly looking at the body,
[2479.7s] which I mean, for adventurers, I mean, usually people loop bodies.
[2483.1s] So we don't usually bother.
[2485.3s] But too classy for that, which seems hard to believe.
[2489.7s] I mean, when you put it that way.
[2491.0s] Well, we know we're on a time constraint right now.
[2493.4s] So, yeah.
[2494.9s] OK, so we're like both going to reach for it at the same time.
[2497.9s] It's going to be like a real meat cute in the grocery store situation or what?
[2501.7s] I don't know.
[2502.1s] You tell you tell me how meat cute it is.
[2504.6s] Yeah, Thaddeus is going to reach down for this dagger and pick it up.
[2508.3s] Thaddeus, I I actually would really like to have that dagger.
[2512.3s] Well, tough.
[2513.8s] It's mine.
[2514.6s] He's got really long arms and he like holds it out on her forehead and she like can't reach.
[2519.9s] He touches her face.
[2522.2s] I mean, he's he's pretty tall.
[2524.3s] How tall?
[2525.3s] I would like to know.
[2526.2s] But I am a short person who has fallen victim to this many times.
[2531.2s] Not a short.
[2532.0s] I will not suffer these indignities once again.
[2535.0s] I mean, unless she has to.
[2536.6s] In which case, he's only 5'11".
[2538.5s] Well, she's 5'10".
[2539.6s] So fuck right off.
[2541.0s] She tries to grab it from him because he is not too far away from her.
[2545.3s] But if he's holding it like all the way.
[2547.2s] Yeah, all right.
[2547.7s] That's fine.
[2551.5s] Yeah, so I guess we're like fighting over this thing.
[2554.0s] I don't know what's happening here.
[2555.3s] Thaddeus, you feel within the dagger.
[2558.1s] You feel like a very heavy pull between good and evil.
[2565.3s] And you catch a quick glimpse of the dagger and you see two red gems begin to glow
[2574.7s] and a gleam of red around the edge of the blade.
[2578.5s] And you hear a voice inside your head and it says,
[2583.3s] Yes, yes, I am yours and you are with me.
[2588.5s] Do what you can and I will be yours forever.
[2592.6s] Do I see the red glow?
[2594.1s] Like, I feel like I'm just watching this, like.
[2596.6s] Make a perception check.
[2598.1s] Why are you guys being children about this fucking dagger?
[2600.3s] Like, it's just a fucking dagger.
[2602.0s] Oh, I don't see shit.
[2603.1s] No, you're too.
[2603.9s] You're too drawn in by just them fighting over this dagger that they've picked off of this body.
[2610.1s] You're more primal.
[2610.9s] You're like Wolfie, right?
[2612.2s] It makes sense.
[2613.6s] So you feel a strong urge to fight for this dagger.
[2620.4s] Okay.
[2623.7s] He's looking through this.
[2624.5s] I feel like Thaddeus is a wily vet.
[2626.4s] Like, he's going to want to make the first move here.
[2630.6s] Also, I'm almost dead, so am I as well.
[2632.5s] Oh, my God.
[2637.0s] He's going to cast.
[2638.5s] Let's see here.
[2640.2s] Hang on where I saw it a second ago.
[2643.8s] And now mass healing word on everyone.
[2648.8s] Yay twist, right?
[2651.9s] Real dick move.
[2653.7s] He hates that dagger.
[2655.7s] No, yeah, he's not going to cast anything.
[2657.3s] He's just going to try and kind of like back away
[2659.7s] and keep the dagger like a far away from.
[2662.6s] Laura, as he can.
[2664.1s] Thaddeus, I really I just I've never asked you for anything before.
[2669.3s] I just want the dagger.
[2671.3s] Can't you just give it to me?
[2672.8s] I know.
[2673.7s] No, it's it's my dagger.
[2676.1s] Make a persuasion check against Thaddeus is constitution.
[2683.5s] Yeah, well, I'm not very charismatic, so don't worry.
[2688.3s] That was only a nine.
[2692.9s] So that is a seven.
[2694.7s] What?
[2696.1s] You're like, give me the fucking dagger.
[2697.6s] And he's like, well, she's very she makes.
[2700.0s] Well, she's really she's got a lot of pros and cons on this list, but.
[2706.4s] Laura won on that.
[2707.3s] So you feel you feel somewhat persuaded as Thaddeus to to give her this.
[2713.1s] And then the dagger speaks up and says,
[2715.4s] if you give me to her, we will never be able to be friends again.
[2719.3s] And I there's like a tear in the corner of Thaddeus's eyes.
[2725.3s] He hands over the dagger that he can no longer be friends with.
[2730.9s] Goodbye, Stabby.
[2732.4s] I'll miss you.
[2735.0s] And he hands it over.
[2736.8s] OK, I take it.
[2739.4s] And you feel the strongest urge to plunge it into Thaddeus.
[2745.6s] And what do I do to counteract that?
[2747.7s] Constitution saving throw.
[2751.4s] Feast and like I assume Flamikins Kins and and everyone is like just kind of.
[2757.8s] Like this is happening very quickly, right?
[2759.9s] Yeah.
[2760.2s] Yeah, I imagine it would be very fast.
[2762.1s] Yeah, not how we're stumbling through it slowly.
[2766.9s] So that was a six.
[2768.9s] Solid.
[2769.7s] I'm going to say make an attack roll and then you can react in a way that.
[2774.3s] Oh, I can.
[2774.9s] OK, let her make the attack roll first.
[2777.4s] Because I don't feel like I'd sit there and let my friends stab each other.
[2780.8s] So 19.
[2782.8s] Can I react to that before she actually ends up stabbing him?
[2785.5s] Or does she stab him first?
[2786.9s] No, give me your reaction and I'll tell you.
[2789.7s] I want to like jump at her and like essentially like pounce on her.
[2796.5s] I'm not trying to hurt her, but I'm trying to get her to
[2798.8s] not kill the one guy who's been healing us whole fucking time.
[2802.8s] Also, we've been through this before, right?
[2804.7s] You you have a weak mind.
[2807.4s] You get mind attacked all the time.
[2810.3s] You're always attacking us.
[2811.7s] I think we've all done it, haven't we?
[2813.8s] I don't think I've ever turned on you guys.
[2815.8s] I think I've always been turned on and I think inside.
[2819.0s] I think for sure you have.
[2820.7s] I think so, yeah.
[2821.7s] If so, I've pushed it so far down.
[2823.9s] I mean, it really doesn't matter.
[2826.2s] I want to jump on her.
[2827.3s] It's definitely happened to me before.
[2829.2s] Make that next damage check as your wolf.
[2832.9s] You begin to pull back, going to stab Thaddeus and Thea.
[2843.4s] Takes a dump.
[2846.2s] Jess is like, hold on.
[2847.8s] I need to take a big wolf shit right here.
[2853.1s] Don't look at me.
[2854.1s] I start just eating the dead body.
[2855.7s] Okay.
[2856.0s] I forget entirely what I'm doing.
[2857.4s] Thea begins to run towards you, but she's not fast enough.
[2861.4s] Even though she should have a high dexterity as a wolf.
[2864.3s] Even though I'm right beside you and also a giant creature somehow.
[2868.5s] And in a moment that he hands the weapon to you,
[2870.8s] you have this feeling and you drive it into his chest.
[2875.5s] And it goes through his armor into his heart.
[2892.3s] Music in today's episode was by Kavin McLeod of Incompetech.Filmmusic.io.
[2900.8s] Why are you barking, Paisley?
[2903.3s] For Kyle.
[2903.8s] Did you lose your bone?
[2905.3s] No, she hit it because that's what she was trying to do.
[2907.5s] She hit it because it's new and she's weird.
[2911.6s] I bet you it's literally in plain view in a corner somewhere.
[2915.0s] And she'll be like, I did such a good job.
[2916.6s] Don't tell her that.
[2917.6s] They're never going to find it.
[2919.4s] What if Amy's been like long conning us this whole time
[2922.5s] and she's really good at rolling dice, but she's purposely rolling low.
[2925.8s] And at some point, she's going to introduce some sort of betting element.
[2928.9s] And then, oh, shit.
[2931.9s] Well, you've ruined it.
[2932.7s] I mean, none of us have any money, so I don't know who she.
[2936.3s] Cool hand Amy.
[2937.3s] That's why we call her that.
[2938.3s] That's true.
[2939.1s] Right.
[2939.8s] Okay, so that's six, 12.
[2941.6s] My D8 rolled a six for him.
[2944.1s] We used the blue one.
[2945.7s] 24, roll again.
[2948.3s] And an eight.
[2949.3s] It just rolled an eight, you guys.
[2951.7s] I'm going to be real, real unwell, guys.
[2956.5s] You have another 12 turns.
[2957.9s] Sorry, I'm in the mood where like when it was still Carla's turn,
[2962.8s] I was like, oh my God, it's still Carla's turn.
[2968.6s] And it's that much worse because I'm literally the bottom of the barrel today.
[2972.5s] You're going to love this, Amy.
[2974.1s] You're going to love my turn.
[2975.3s] I'm so ready.
[2976.5s] Thaddeus's turn, then.
[2978.1s] Oh, good.
[2978.5s] It's me again.
[2982.0s] Until these NPCs die.
[2982.9s] It's still Tom's turn.
[2985.5s] It's still my turn, Amy.
[2987.1s] Shut up.
[2988.3s] Dumbgeons and Dragons is a Dumb Dragons production.
