1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,799
Flint was staring down the horde of zombies having just killed Nergoth Bladelord.

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:08,240
Are they running or shambling?

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,439
They're not slow, but they're definitely not running.

5
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:12,480
I don't know what that means.

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,679
Guys, we've got three options.

7
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:15,519
Zombie horde, don't know, more drakes.

8
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:16,800
Or do you guys just want to run?

9
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,920
Let's fucking run.

10
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,440
You all begin to book it.

11
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,039
Nularaaaa, you make room.

12
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:27,199
As you carry forward, you see members of the cult of the dragon that you are now charging towards.

13
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,960
Guys, we just need to keep them busy till our horde of zombies is here to help us.

14
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,879
You four pile through them, knocking them to the side.

15
00:00:34,879 --> 00:00:39,840
Nularaaaa, you turn to see the eyes of a dragon looking right at you.

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,920
As you clear the hallway, lightning comes down the hallway and strikes the remaining cultists.

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,600
I think we just want to keep heading deeper towards the center.

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,719
Flint, as you and Nularaaaa move the last boulder,

19
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:59,519
you realize that the light source is coming from a monstrous building.

20
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:05,840
Screams and roars come from over the edges as another blair of the Drakorn sounds.

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,319
And you are looking at the Temple of Tiamat.

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,599
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

23
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:18,239
We're a D&D fifth edition actual play podcast.

24
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:20,000
And I'm your Dungeon Master, Russ More.

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,319
And with me today is Amy More.

26
00:01:23,039 --> 00:01:25,439
I'm Amy More. I play Thea Amastasia.

27
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:30,560
And the thing that bugs me the most is when I step in a puddle with socks on,

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,400
nothing enrages me more.

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,079
I feel like that was pointed. Also with me, Carla Johnson.

30
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:39,280
I am Carla Johnson. I play Nularaaaa Moonbrook.

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,480
I just try not to let the like petty bothers of day-to-day life like really get me down,

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,519
you know, and try to like just stay really positive all the time.

33
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:54,799
It's pretty cute.

34
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:56,159
That's what I mean. That's not true.

35
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,319
I get irritated about everything all the time,

36
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:00,319
but I just want to tease Amy because I love her.

37
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:03,039
And Tom Laird.

38
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:04,400
Yeah, that's me.

39
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:10,400
I play Flip Firebeard and I'm straight up 100% with Amy on this one.

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,919
Let's get into it.

41
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,919
Puddles on the floor, socks, fuck, just the worst.

42
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:19,039
See, Paisley's on.

43
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:20,400
Paisley agrees.

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,639
Which is our new podcast called What Did You Step In?

45
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:30,240
Each week, we delve into what we stepped in this week.

46
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,639
I stepped in a lot of snow yesterday because I hiked up to Heart Lake.

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,280
And let me tell you, there's a lot of snow up there.

48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:38,960
Fair enough.

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,199
So, that's bad.

50
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:45,599
Russ was just kidding, but now we're doing it.

51
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,000
No, guys, I didn't really want to.

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
I stepped onto a baseball field.

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,960
I didn't step into it, but I stepped onto it.

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,520
So that was fun.

55
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,360
We had an informal softball practice.

56
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,319
You know what?

57
00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:57,520
Sexy pitches back at it.

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,000
That's right.

59
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,479
Cut off our stepped in podcast here.

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,680
And if you want more of this stepped in podcast,

61
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,000
you got to visit us over on Patreon where we might

62
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,719
talk about what we stepped in in one of the Goo Kangs.

63
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,360
So look forward to that coming up, everybody.

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,680
Whenever that is.

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,759
But Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

66
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:18,719
You can come over there and check out what we've got going on

67
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:20,000
and what we've got going on.

68
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,960
It's a great community that you can be part of for anywhere

69
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,280
from a dollar up a month.

70
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,439
You can get some great bonus rewards and tears.

71
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:34,000
No, great rewards, bonus content at different tiers.

72
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:35,520
There it is.

73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,319
That was a struggle.

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,919
You got there, though.

75
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:39,840
Good for you.

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,560
It was tough.

77
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Sorry.

78
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Sorry, everybody.

79
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,360
We also dedicate an episode to a patron.

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,319
And today's patron is Devin Michaels.

81
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:49,520
Hey, thanks, Devin.

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Hey, thanks, Devin.

83
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,919
Devin, you're the best.

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,199
Thank you, Devin.

85
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:54,400
Two first names again.

86
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,120
First names again.

87
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,759
Yeah.

88
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,919
Because sometimes we had a previous patron who had two first names,

89
00:03:59,919 --> 00:04:01,039
like a first name for his last name.

90
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,400
You know, all those people named Michaels has a first name.

91
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:05,699
Yeah.

92
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:06,900
Yeah.

93
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:13,599
How many people do you know named Michaels?

94
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:14,099
Almost.

95
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:16,079
So close.

96
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:16,800
I mean, there's that.

97
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,080
That's all I have to say.

98
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,880
That's my whole defense.

99
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,160
It's so close.

100
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,040
You two are like Mario there for a second.

101
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,040
I was so close.

102
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,680
It's me.

103
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,880
I was so close.

104
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,440
That's good.

105
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,640
And yet, you were so close.

106
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,440
So Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.

107
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,240
So close.

108
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,040
So close.

109
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,480
Can this episode be called so close?

110
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,319
I guess it depends what turns out.

111
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:54,960
It depends.

112
00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:57,280
We die this episode.

113
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,639
Almost made it to TMS.

114
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:03,139
Almost.

115
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:04,879
A new host rule.

116
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:07,040
I think if anyone rolls like a crit fail,

117
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,120
they have to immediately say, so close.

118
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,560
At least today.

119
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Yes, at least today's session.

120
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,759
We'll obviously forget after today.

121
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:22,800
We can't even remember how to play the game

122
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,680
from week to week.

123
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,480
We certainly can't remember jokes from week to week.

124
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaking of which, fuck it.

125
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,519
Let's play D&D.

126
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,600
You four step out of this caved in entryway.

127
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:54,160
Into the caldera of the well of the dragons.

128
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,439
You look and you see over the rubble ahead of you.

129
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,079
The peak of twisting cornices reaching up

130
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,680
of the five towers of the temple of Tiamat.

131
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:14,720
You look to the sky and you see

132
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,600
a swirling storm and cyclone that has built

133
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,040
since you went into the volcano.

134
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,680
You see metallic and chromatic dragons

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,400
tearing each other apart in the sky.

136
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:38,080
Roars and calls and screams of battle

137
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,040
surround you, bouncing off the walls of the volcano.

138
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:53,440
I'm going to change back into my regular as I say.

139
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,520
Holy shit, you guys.

140
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Yeah, that about sums it up.

141
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,600
At least we're heading in the right direction.

142
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,400
We've got to be, right?

143
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Yeah, I mean, if this isn't where we want to be,

144
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,760
then I don't know where we want to be.

145
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,120
Agreed.

146
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,280
I mean, I don't want to be here.

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,640
Oh, no, that's not what I meant.

148
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,200
To be clear.

149
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,639
To finish the job, we need to be here.

150
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:17,519
Yeah, yeah.

151
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,839
Well, guys, let's finish the job.

152
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:29,839
Do we see, like you basically described,

153
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:33,919
it's a big tower, but with five towers, I think, right?

154
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,560
Yeah, so you just kind of see the peaks right now

155
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,319
because you're kind of down in a collapsed portion of the volcano.

156
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:45,199
So you can't really see the full scope of the tower

157
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:46,079
from where you are.

158
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,519
If you so desired, you could move somewhere to do that.

159
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:53,519
Actually, I think we live here now.

160
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,199
See, this is what I'm asking.

161
00:07:57,199 --> 00:07:58,800
All right, so you set up a homestay.

162
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,240
That's what I was wondering if, like,

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,159
so we've kind of cleared all this rubble,

164
00:08:04,159 --> 00:08:05,759
we've made it through, and like,

165
00:08:06,719 --> 00:08:08,800
are we on the exterior of a building

166
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,520
or do we, like, see paths or, like,

167
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,680
what is in our immediate vicinity

168
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,920
as opposed to just, like, the scale of the battle beyond?

169
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,319
You are in a collapsed pit.

170
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:27,040
So what you see is just rubble from rock and...

171
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,280
Oh, we're in a hole.

172
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:29,840
You're in a hole.

173
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,639
Yeah, we're in a hole.

174
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:32,000
You guys, we have to climb around in this hole.

175
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,840
I'm trying to fancy describe this hole.

176
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,360
No, it was too fancy.

177
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,879
But I should just say you're in a hole.

178
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:38,480
Don't be too fancy for us.

179
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,240
Russ, you never need to fancy describe a hole.

180
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,120
I didn't get it.

181
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:41,360
Fair enough.

182
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,120
No, for the love of God, we're like...

183
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:45,920
What kind of special area are we in?

184
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,720
You're not, you guys.

185
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,800
You dug yourselves into a hole.

186
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,279
Nice job.

187
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,639
Can I carefully clamber to the top

188
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:55,600
and just peer over in a sneaky way

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,680
because we don't know what's up there.

190
00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,680
How deep is the hole we're in?

191
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,720
The hole itself is quite large, like,

192
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,680
longest point, like 150 feet,

193
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,600
widest part, almost 100 feet.

194
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,520
Less of a hole more of a crater, then?

195
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Well, yeah.

196
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,280
It's a very large volcano.

197
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,720
What a big old hole.

198
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,000
I tried to fancy describe it

199
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,200
because it was more than a hole,

200
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,040
but you just hear that it was a hole.

201
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040
You guys are in a little more than a hole.

202
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Ah, yes, I get it.

203
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,320
You're in a collapsed crater within a volcano.

204
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,000
When anybody would like to begin walking up,

205
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,760
it would be considered difficult terrain

206
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,440
for those that that affects.

207
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240
So a dexterity athletics roll.

208
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,480
So it's obviously a fairly steep sides out.

209
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,640
What if we used a ladder?

210
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,600
Does anyone, does anyone have a ladder?

211
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,200
If only someone had a ladder.

212
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,800
If only someone had a rod of lordly might.

213
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,600
Wait a minute, guys.

214
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,200
I can help us out here with this here ladder.

215
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,480
Flint, it's genius.

216
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:00,960
I love it.

217
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,560
Well, let's do it.

218
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:04,320
You know, this ladder is coming real handy

219
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,200
a bunch of times.

220
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,400
This always makes me feel like a fucking hero

221
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,120
to have this thing.

222
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,040
So I press the.

223
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,400
It's so big too.

224
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,800
I press the corresponding rod button

225
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,960
and extend it into ladder form.

226
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Do you say something like go go gadget ladder?

227
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,200
I don't believe I've ever said anything for it,

228
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,160
but make ladder go now.

229
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,080
That new intellect headband is really working out.

230
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:30,880
It's really good.

231
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,039
It's bringing you all those real good words.

232
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,639
You begin scaling up the ladder

233
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:42,559
and you it takes a quick minute,

234
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,679
but you get to the top of the hole that you're in

235
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:48,480
and you are now on the edge

236
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,200
and you look out before you

237
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,759
and the caldera is blanketed beneath bones

238
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:57,840
of hundreds of dead dragons.

239
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,399
But that is not the most arresting feature.

240
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,480
A mind numbing structure that you saw the peak of

241
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,240
looks like it has pushed up beneath the tangled bones

242
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,040
to tower above the blasted volcano.

243
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,879
Partly volcanic ash fused with dragon bones

244
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,000
and partly stone imbued with the dark magic

245
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,680
of the nine hells itself.

246
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:25,519
The temple of Tiamat is all chaotic angles

247
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,399
and jutting buttresses.

248
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:33,439
Within that snarl of cornices and soaring angulation

249
00:11:33,439 --> 00:11:36,480
you make out five asymmetric towers

250
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,720
topped by twisting steeples

251
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,319
and you see landing atop those towers

252
00:11:42,319 --> 00:11:46,720
one of each of the different five colored chromatic dragons.

253
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:49,759
Do they see us?

254
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,919
Yeah, are these living dragons

255
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:53,759
or are they like sculptures built in

256
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:55,120
at the top of the towers?

257
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,319
No, sorry, they are just landing.

258
00:12:00,319 --> 00:12:01,679
They are alive.

259
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,279
You are kind of hidden among different bones and stones

260
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,039
so they have not seen you directly as of this moment.

261
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,519
Well, I guess, yeah, dragon bones, huge.

262
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,639
Yeah, the scale of this place is enormous.

263
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:19,519
It feels so tiny.

264
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,799
All we know is that this was the way

265
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:24,639
to where they're doing the ceremony.

266
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Not particularly helpful now that we've arrived here

267
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,159
outside this fucking monstrosity.

268
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:34,480
What do you want to do?

269
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,799
Should we just try to make our way to the tower?

270
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,559
I mean, if there's a sacrifice going on,

271
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:40,960
couldn't it be there?

272
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,960
Yep, I mean, certainly that's the direction

273
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,120
we need to go sneakily.

274
00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:47,679
Let's go in that direction.

275
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,000
Everybody make a stealth check.

276
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,480
Do I have to make a stealth check for my owl?

277
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:55,940
Yep.

278
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,840
Yeah, how's Guacamole getting around

279
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:01,759
now that you're out in the open?

280
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:04,159
Just like walking carefully.

281
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:06,159
Just on her tippy toes, real slow.

282
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,120
I rolled for myself.

283
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,320
Were you so close?

284
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,320
I was so close.

285
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,480
I rolled an eight plus one.

286
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,620
Okay.

287
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,279
So nine, oh god, and Guacamole got a five,

288
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:25,600
oh plus four, so she got a nine.

289
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,399
There we go.

290
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:27,919
It would have been better.

291
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:30,799
Those aren't sneaky rolls, you guys.

292
00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:32,079
I got a 16 with Flint.

293
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:33,679
Don't walk near me, I'm super loud.

294
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,120
I got a 12 and Donnie got a 13.

295
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:43,039
You, not so quietly for the most part,

296
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:45,519
are kind of climbing through these bones

297
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:49,439
and around large boulders that have broken free.

298
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,360
You are about 200 feet from the tower,

299
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,560
so you are trying very hard to stay hidden

300
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:00,320
from the Chromatic Dragons

301
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,720
who seem to now be turning towards

302
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,240
one side of the tower

303
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,800
that is away from your direction.

304
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,320
As you continue to get closer,

305
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,920
you hear orders quietly being called

306
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600
from around the far side of the temple

307
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,720
the closer you get.

308
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,840
And as these orders are being called,

309
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,399
you see the five Chromatic Dragons

310
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,720
leap up into the sky

311
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,960
and begin circling the location.

312
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,279
Double cheeseburger, fries, no ketchup.

313
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,639
Oh, it's the dragon drive-through, of course.

314
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:38,560
I'm sorry, I'm stressed out right now.

315
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,160
Yep.

316
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,519
There are so many big things.

317
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:43,840
As they are soaring around,

318
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,840
you hear another blast of the Drakorn

319
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,680
that echoes off the walls

320
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,759
of the inside of the volcano.

321
00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:52,160
Can I use my lucky loo

322
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,240
to see if I can see what they're circling

323
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,360
with a little more clarity?

324
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:58,879
Or is it blocked out by the tower?

325
00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:00,639
From what you can gauge

326
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:01,840
by what you can hear

327
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,040
from where the orders are coming from,

328
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,480
it's coming around the far side

329
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,080
of the tower itself.

330
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,480
Okay.

331
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,080
So if you were to see them,

332
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,240
you would have to physically walk around.

333
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,280
Yeah, that doesn't sound great.

334
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,720
We should just get to where we're going then.

335
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:13,860
Yeah.

336
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,160
You kind of keep an eye on them,

337
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,920
and they are circling,

338
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,360
getting lower and lower

339
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,399
to the one side of the tower.

340
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:24,879
And you have made it

341
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:26,639
to the side of the tower.

342
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,000
And is there a conveniently placed door?

343
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,040
Not at your current position.

344
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,639
Too bad.

345
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:35,519
Any windows?

346
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,120
I mean, I've often heard

347
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,240
that if there isn't a door,

348
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,759
sometimes there's a window that might be open.

349
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:40,800
Sometimes there's a window.

350
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,360
Yeah.

351
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Very high up in the tower,

352
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,000
there appear to be slats

353
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,240
that could be construed as windows.

354
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,519
Could, are they like

355
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:51,519
human body size sneak through slats?

356
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,519
It's very high up.

357
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:55,680
It's hard to tell exactly how wide they are,

358
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,279
but they would probably be very big.

359
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,840
How high up is very high up?

360
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720
The tower itself is probably

361
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,200
three to 400 feet tall.

362
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,120
And these windows are?

363
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,519
Somewhere kind of mid-range there,

364
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,039
so 100 to 150 feet.

365
00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:15,440
You guys want to hop on Guacamole's back

366
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,039
and fly up to one of those windows?

367
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,360
I'm a little reticent to fly up

368
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,919
with the dragons flying around.

369
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,799
Seems like that would make us more visible.

370
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:29,679
That's a fair point.

371
00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:31,679
Yeah, you're probably right.

372
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,279
Okay, should we continue

373
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:39,039
to walk around the side of the tower essentially?

374
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:41,679
There's got to be a way in somewhere, right?

375
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Or do dragons just fly in the top?

376
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,080
Maybe.

377
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,960
Oh, could be like a helicopter pad.

378
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,279
Yeah, but someone has to do...

379
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,879
The cultists got to get in and out, right?

380
00:16:54,879 --> 00:16:59,440
I don't know a lot about dragon architecture.

381
00:16:59,440 --> 00:16:59,679
Sure.

382
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,000
But what else are we going to do

383
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,240
other than pick left or right and go that way?

384
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,640
Yeah, so they're kind of on the other side

385
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,319
of the tower from us, Russ, correct?

386
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,880
Yes, that is what you are making out.

387
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,160
Okay, so it would be like whichever way we went,

388
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,680
it would be essentially the same distance

389
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,400
or are we shaded to one side more than the other?

390
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,920
Because if we go around the side

391
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,120
that they're like furthest away from us,

392
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:27,120
that gives us more time to go around

393
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,200
without being discovered in theory.

394
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,440
Yeah, if you were to say go right,

395
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,640
you would probably be closer than if you went left,

396
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,799
like you would reach their location quicker

397
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:42,640
than if you went left around the building.

398
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,240
Long way around is left.

399
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,519
Well, my legs are tired.

400
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:46,400
Let's go right ways.

401
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,920
I came to the opposite conclusion.

402
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,480
Me too.

403
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,080
I was thinking let's not go

404
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,000
where the troops seem to be amassing.

405
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,240
Let's go the other way around.

406
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,039
Oh, okay.

407
00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:58,160
Let's go that way.

408
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,560
Where maybe we can stay a little more hidden

409
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,000
for a few more minutes.

410
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,120
Yes, no, that's better.

411
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,600
Thea doesn't strategize.

412
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,960
My dogs are barking, guys.

413
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Let's hit right to it.

414
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:10,720
The dragons don't kill me.

415
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,519
My feet will.

416
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,759
These boots are murder.

417
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:21,680
You begin walking and you hear a couple things.

418
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Above the orders, you hear screams forming.

419
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:30,559
You see the dragons begin to stop circling

420
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:34,079
and they begin to soar down to the volcano floor.

421
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:42,240
You also hear a loud cracking boom from off in the distance.

422
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:50,639
If you look, you see clouds beginning to push and make way.

423
00:18:52,159 --> 00:18:54,159
Before we walk any further, I say,

424
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,560
okay, guys, so something I was just thinking

425
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,680
because you guys are so good at the strategy stuff

426
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,800
and everything, but here's something

427
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,160
we just haven't tried before.

428
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,680
I'm just going to throw it out there.

429
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,279
What if from a place of hiding where I can see people,

430
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,600
before we like get into the thick of it,

431
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,880
I can like hurt them with some of my ranged spells?

432
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,279
I love it.

433
00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:20,560
It's a great idea.

434
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,600
You know, just open up maybe some moon beam

435
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,480
or blight some bitches or something,

436
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,360
but they won't see me or you guys

437
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,360
and we'll have a bit of an advantage.

438
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:31,840
Yeah.

439
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,320
I mean, like I think that's a real good plan.

440
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,640
I don't know why we've never thought of it before.

441
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,040
I don't know why it took me this long,

442
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,920
but you know what?

443
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,920
I'm here where it counts.

444
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000
I mean, I think where we are right now,

445
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,360
we're kind of exposed.

446
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,240
So I think unless there's no other solution,

447
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:53,680
that might be plan B and maybe finding a way

448
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,240
in this tower stealthily might be good.

449
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,000
Oh, no, no, for sure.

450
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,200
We still need to get in here,

451
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,759
but I think like if we get in here

452
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:03,759
and we see people before they see us

453
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:05,039
and I forget my plan,

454
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:10,000
I've told you guys that this is a viable option for us.

455
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,920
Let's go.

456
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,680
So you're continuing along your path.

457
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,559
And we do that real sneaky walk that they do in cartoons.

458
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:17,680
All right.

459
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,039
So super slow.

460
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:19,200
Yeah.

461
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:19,519
All right.

462
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:23,519
So at that pace, you're going to be walking

463
00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:24,720
for kind of a long time.

464
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:26,400
Well, we do it a little faster.

465
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,519
I mean, a little bit faster.

466
00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:28,319
Normal pace.

467
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:30,000
Yes.

468
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,400
Yep.

469
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:30,720
Got it.

470
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:31,680
Okay.

471
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,799
So you continue your trek around the building

472
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,920
as you get closer to where you assumed

473
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,920
the dragons landed or were circling.

474
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,799
These screams become more intense.

475
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,480
Are they human screams?

476
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,120
Uh, one could presume.

477
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:49,360
Yep.

478
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Are they screaming things or just general like, ah?

479
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,400
Just general screams of perhaps pain and or agony.

480
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,000
If you were to roll an insight,

481
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,920
I'd give it to you because it'd be pretty low.

482
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:03,599
13.

483
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:04,079
Yep.

484
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:08,000
Definite pain and or agony and or fear.

485
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,759
I'll give you a fear for that one too.

486
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:11,680
Can we tell which kind of direction

487
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,880
the screams are coming from

488
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,440
or are they just kind of at the tower

489
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,400
and that's all we can tell.

490
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:19,600
Because of the tricks,

491
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,360
you can kind of hear them all around you,

492
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:23,200
but it's also from the direction

493
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,400
that you were walking

494
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,120
close to where the dragons had landed.

495
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,380
Okay.

496
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,920
I mean, those screams sound like they could be maybe.

497
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:36,400
Sacrifices?

498
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,160
Yeah, yeah, some sacrifices.

499
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,920
Stands to reason.

500
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,920
So maybe we go see what we can see.

501
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,640
And I mean, I do have that looky-loo

502
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,160
if we're still far away.

503
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,840
You continue to walk,

504
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,360
taking a glance around every corner as you go.

505
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,200
And you come to the final tower to walk around

506
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,120
as you have kind of counted them out

507
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,800
as you have been going around.

508
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,680
And you look who looks around the corner

509
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,720
or do you kind of go three heads at a time there?

510
00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:10,080
Three students.

511
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:10,880
Shotgun lowest head.

512
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:13,759
Stands to reason.

513
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,799
Middle head?

514
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:16,559
I'm the tallest?

515
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:17,519
You are the tallest.

516
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,200
Comedic style.

517
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,359
You poke your heads out

518
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,920
and you look to see people being tossed

519
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,720
into the air into dragons' mouths

520
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,680
and a group of them

521
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:32,160
surrounded by the five chromatic dragons.

522
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,680
How big of a group are we seeing?

523
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,799
How many people in this group?

524
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,599
And how are they being thrown into,

525
00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:40,960
like the dragons are grabbing them

526
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,680
and throwing them up

527
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,039
and catching them up like popcorn?

528
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:46,799
Oh, they're playing with them like orcas play with seals.

529
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,759
You and I, Carla, made the same face

530
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:51,039
as soon as he said that we were both like.

531
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,220
Yeah.

532
00:22:54,399 --> 00:22:56,639
You see, well, at this point

533
00:22:56,639 --> 00:23:00,319
there probably looks to be about 20 people remaining.

534
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:01,920
But does it seem,

535
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,240
it doesn't sound like it seems ritualistic,

536
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,839
but does it seem ritualistic

537
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:08,159
or the dragons are just being like hungry

538
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:09,279
and fucking gross?

539
00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:13,920
I mean, they are surrounded in a specific order.

540
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,680
I mean, in defense of the dragons,

541
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,160
if you put a hungry tom in front of a pizza,

542
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,519
it's going to get gross.

543
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:23,440
You could probably infer

544
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,799
that these are the sacrifices.

545
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:27,299
OK.

546
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:29,680
Well, I mean, feed people

547
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,440
to five different dragons.

548
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,440
I guess I was like in my mind

549
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,319
I was picturing like priests doing ritualism.

550
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:39,759
Ritualistic murders.

551
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:41,119
Temple of doom type stuff.

552
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,519
As opposed to carving things on their bodies.

553
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:44,639
Calima, yeah.

554
00:23:44,639 --> 00:23:45,279
Yeah, what not.

555
00:23:46,399 --> 00:23:47,919
But yeah, I mean, it makes sense.

556
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:49,279
Five dragons eating people.

557
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,500
Like.

558
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:53,279
It all tracks.

559
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:55,359
Do we know anything about this ritual?

560
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,439
Because I worked in a library.

561
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:02,079
OK, roll a library check.

562
00:24:02,079 --> 00:24:03,919
My dice is going to be in time.

563
00:24:03,919 --> 00:24:06,559
Arcana or history?

564
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:07,059
No.

565
00:24:07,859 --> 00:24:09,059
It's a 12.

566
00:24:09,859 --> 00:24:10,500
It's a 15.

567
00:24:14,980 --> 00:24:16,419
Do I know that here?

568
00:24:16,419 --> 00:24:18,339
So here's my specific piece of information

569
00:24:18,339 --> 00:24:19,299
I'm looking for.

570
00:24:19,299 --> 00:24:22,099
Do I know that the sacrifices

571
00:24:22,099 --> 00:24:26,019
have to be living before ingested by the dragons?

572
00:24:26,019 --> 00:24:28,579
I'm about to get Machiavellian on this shit.

573
00:24:28,579 --> 00:24:30,099
No, I was thinking the same thing.

574
00:24:30,099 --> 00:24:32,579
Like if we kill the people, are we helping them

575
00:24:32,579 --> 00:24:34,339
or are we stopping them?

576
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:35,460
Yeah, that's my question.

577
00:24:35,460 --> 00:24:37,220
Like, oh, yay, they're all dead.

578
00:24:37,220 --> 00:24:39,140
Thank you for coming in and doing that.

579
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:42,100
Or because I did work in a library.

580
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:43,940
She's got those library powers.

581
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:45,620
Dragons are my favorite enemy.

582
00:24:45,620 --> 00:24:47,140
Maybe I have like, I mean, you think

583
00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:49,059
we would learn as much as there was to learn.

584
00:24:49,059 --> 00:24:50,740
I have a dragonborn in my head.

585
00:24:50,740 --> 00:24:51,700
Maybe he knows something.

586
00:24:53,220 --> 00:24:54,340
Everybody fucking roll.

587
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:55,779
I'm going to give you something here.

588
00:24:55,779 --> 00:24:58,819
But I'm just trying to think how to phrase it.

589
00:24:58,819 --> 00:24:59,460
OK.

590
00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:01,940
From your readings and from your inner head

591
00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:04,019
and from your just general knowledge about dragons.

592
00:25:04,980 --> 00:25:06,660
They prefer to eat things alive.

593
00:25:07,299 --> 00:25:10,900
But the ritual itself does not necessarily dictate

594
00:25:11,940 --> 00:25:12,900
alive or dead.

595
00:25:13,619 --> 00:25:16,660
Although sacrifices generally means things

596
00:25:16,660 --> 00:25:18,099
have to be alive first.

597
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:23,139
But it does not specify if they were to die

598
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,259
by a third party and then if the dragons

599
00:25:26,259 --> 00:25:27,139
were to eat them.

600
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:29,859
There's not no subtext or...

601
00:25:29,859 --> 00:25:30,660
There's no footnote.

602
00:25:31,460 --> 00:25:32,420
No footnote there.

603
00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:35,620
As they might not have run into that yet.

604
00:25:35,620 --> 00:25:40,100
It will be in version 2.0 next millennia.

605
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:43,140
So this definitely doesn't seem just kind of

606
00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:46,019
like an as animalistic as I first pictured

607
00:25:46,019 --> 00:25:46,660
in my head.

608
00:25:46,660 --> 00:25:48,019
It's more like calculated.

609
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:51,060
Yeah, guys, I was really hoping

610
00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:53,539
that there was going to be a way for us

611
00:25:53,539 --> 00:25:56,180
to not have to try and fight five dragons.

612
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:56,740
Yep.

613
00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:58,420
Anybody coming up with anything?

614
00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:02,340
Um, can we sneak by these dragons somehow

615
00:26:02,340 --> 00:26:04,259
that are busy eating these people?

616
00:26:04,259 --> 00:26:05,300
Sorry people.

617
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:07,539
But I mean, in order for a ritual to happen

618
00:26:07,539 --> 00:26:09,539
there's got to be some magic,

619
00:26:09,539 --> 00:26:11,460
some magic casters somewhere.

620
00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:16,259
There has to be some sorcerers or wizards

621
00:26:16,259 --> 00:26:17,860
or somebody.

622
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:23,539
At that moment you hear the same crushing crack

623
00:26:23,539 --> 00:26:25,300
come from the same direction

624
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:27,300
as where you saw something rolling

625
00:26:27,299 --> 00:26:28,579
amidst the clouds.

626
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:35,779
And you turn and you see a massive ice fortress.

627
00:26:37,619 --> 00:26:39,940
This is a fucking ice giant's castle?

628
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:41,859
A flying ice fortress?

629
00:26:43,220 --> 00:26:46,579
Floating down through the clouds.

630
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:51,299
And it crashes into the lip of the volcano.

631
00:26:51,299 --> 00:26:55,619
And is basically charging across the floor

632
00:26:55,619 --> 00:26:57,619
of the volcano.

633
00:26:57,619 --> 00:27:00,419
The dragons turn to look and see this

634
00:27:00,419 --> 00:27:05,220
and they throw as many people up in the air

635
00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:08,419
as they can and begin flying towards it.

636
00:27:09,940 --> 00:27:13,460
You see a board, you see frost giants

637
00:27:13,460 --> 00:27:17,940
readying weapons and waiting for the iceberg

638
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:19,220
to slow down.

639
00:27:19,299 --> 00:27:21,299
For the iceberg to slow down.

640
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:30,819
Well, hello there.

641
00:27:30,819 --> 00:27:32,100
Welcome to the middle part.

642
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:32,500
It's us.

643
00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:36,180
People you were just listening to previously.

644
00:27:37,299 --> 00:27:39,299
Yeah, just a few seconds ago.

645
00:27:39,299 --> 00:27:40,740
I love that we haven't figured out

646
00:27:40,740 --> 00:27:43,059
like the proper way to get into these yet.

647
00:27:43,059 --> 00:27:44,259
I mean, I had it.

648
00:27:44,259 --> 00:27:47,220
I had it down 70 episodes.

649
00:27:47,220 --> 00:27:49,460
We just showed up and just flipped the table.

650
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:52,740
And then I was like, hey guys, come on in.

651
00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:54,259
And now it's just not there.

652
00:27:54,259 --> 00:27:55,380
You know what else you might've seen

653
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:56,339
on our social feeds?

654
00:27:56,339 --> 00:27:59,140
That we got a big old invite to Hollywood.

655
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:01,700
Hollywood.

656
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:06,339
And by we all, I mean two of us.

657
00:28:06,339 --> 00:28:07,860
So Amy and I are going.

658
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:08,500
Sorry, Tom.

659
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:09,460
Oh, it's all right.

660
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:10,740
I would have loved to go.

661
00:28:10,740 --> 00:28:13,539
But as it turned out, I already had vacation plans

662
00:28:13,539 --> 00:28:15,059
in that exact same time period.

663
00:28:15,059 --> 00:28:17,379
So I'm not missing out too badly.

664
00:28:18,819 --> 00:28:20,659
Carla's got that wedding she's planning.

665
00:28:20,659 --> 00:28:23,220
We're the only ones who have enough free time.

666
00:28:23,220 --> 00:28:26,099
Not enough on our social platter as it were

667
00:28:26,099 --> 00:28:29,059
to be unavailable for this event.

668
00:28:29,539 --> 00:28:30,819
But what is this event?

669
00:28:30,819 --> 00:28:34,419
This event is D&D Live 2019, The Descent.

670
00:28:35,379 --> 00:28:36,579
So yeah, we're going to Hollywood

671
00:28:36,579 --> 00:28:39,059
and we got invited by Wizards of the Coast

672
00:28:39,059 --> 00:28:41,539
to go play their new module

673
00:28:41,539 --> 00:28:43,700
with a whole bunch of other great podcasters,

674
00:28:44,660 --> 00:28:47,460
including the Broad Swords and Venture Maidens

675
00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:51,220
and Taking Initiative and Drunks and Dragons.

676
00:28:51,779 --> 00:28:53,059
Oh, there's a whole list.

677
00:28:53,059 --> 00:28:55,779
So many people, so awesome.

678
00:28:55,779 --> 00:28:57,059
So much more awesome than us.

679
00:28:57,059 --> 00:28:58,500
I can't wait to surround myself

680
00:28:58,500 --> 00:28:59,779
in all that awesomeness.

681
00:28:59,779 --> 00:29:00,100
You know what?

682
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:01,779
I was listening to Drunks and Dragons today.

683
00:29:01,779 --> 00:29:03,620
They don't listen to us, so they'll never know.

684
00:29:03,620 --> 00:29:05,460
They were talking about how they're very nervous

685
00:29:05,460 --> 00:29:06,660
about the live shows.

686
00:29:06,660 --> 00:29:09,299
So we're nervous about them too.

687
00:29:09,299 --> 00:29:10,980
So we're just all nervous.

688
00:29:10,980 --> 00:29:11,860
Speak for yourself.

689
00:29:11,940 --> 00:29:15,460
I was on stage like the other day and I'm like, yes,

690
00:29:15,460 --> 00:29:17,940
I need a crowd of people clapping in my life.

691
00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:20,420
Well, Amy, I feel like if you could roll

692
00:29:21,220 --> 00:29:22,820
for some sort of performance check

693
00:29:22,820 --> 00:29:25,300
while you're playing and bring your tap shoes with you,

694
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:27,940
I feel like that would really seal the deal

695
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:30,100
for whatever you were trying to do in that game.

696
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:31,700
Just build it into your character.

697
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:33,460
They haven't announced how they're doing characters,

698
00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:35,700
but just put a little note.

699
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:36,740
Also does tap dancing.

700
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:37,140
Perfect.

701
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:37,540
Yeah.

702
00:29:37,540 --> 00:29:39,460
You're a bard who tap dances.

703
00:29:39,460 --> 00:29:40,420
That's your instrument.

704
00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:42,019
It's my instrument.

705
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:44,340
Happy feet, motherfuckers.

706
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:47,300
You're a penguin bard who tap dances.

707
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:48,019
Sorry, wizards.

708
00:29:48,019 --> 00:29:48,580
We won't swear.

709
00:29:48,580 --> 00:29:49,060
We promise.

710
00:29:50,259 --> 00:29:51,220
Oh, right.

711
00:29:51,220 --> 00:29:51,779
Yes.

712
00:29:51,779 --> 00:29:53,539
Gonna have to probably keep it clean.

713
00:29:53,539 --> 00:29:54,660
It's a family event or something.

714
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:56,100
We really shouldn't have sent Amy then.

715
00:29:57,220 --> 00:29:57,779
Right?

716
00:29:57,779 --> 00:29:59,060
Oh, God, sorry.

717
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:01,539
Anyways, that's in May.

718
00:30:02,340 --> 00:30:04,259
The 17th, 18th, and 19th,

719
00:30:04,259 --> 00:30:05,940
if you're gonna be in the Los Angeles

720
00:30:05,940 --> 00:30:08,660
slash Hollywood area or you live there

721
00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:09,860
or you're near there,

722
00:30:09,860 --> 00:30:11,460
you should come see us and hang out with us

723
00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:13,220
and all that great stuff

724
00:30:13,220 --> 00:30:14,420
because it's gonna be an amazing event

725
00:30:14,420 --> 00:30:17,140
and tickets are on sale soon, if not already.

726
00:30:17,140 --> 00:30:18,260
So check out the website

727
00:30:18,260 --> 00:30:19,300
that's linked in the description.

728
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:22,340
Now we're gonna talk about something different.

729
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:24,500
Now for something completely different.

730
00:30:25,060 --> 00:30:26,260
If you're liking what we're doing

731
00:30:26,260 --> 00:30:29,220
and maybe you see us in Los Angeles

732
00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:31,380

738
00:30:40,179 --> 00:30:42,099
Like a game that Tom runs,

739
00:30:42,099 --> 00:30:43,619
a side-scroller.

740
00:30:43,619 --> 00:30:44,819
So awesome.

741
00:30:44,819 --> 00:30:46,659
Russ plays a kitty cat.

742
00:30:46,659 --> 00:30:47,699
Yeah, he does.

743
00:30:47,699 --> 00:30:48,579
Yeah, I do.

744
00:30:48,579 --> 00:30:49,619
A chatty cat.

745
00:30:51,699 --> 00:30:52,819
That's about it.

746
00:30:54,579 --> 00:30:55,699
There's also other things.

747
00:30:55,699 --> 00:30:58,259
If you don't want to hear Russ be a chatty cat.

748
00:31:00,179 --> 00:31:01,220

754
00:31:07,380 --> 00:31:09,620
it'll be out next Wednesday, April 17th.

755
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:11,460
So let's get back to it.

756
00:31:11,460 --> 00:31:15,140
We're getting close to that Tiamat.

757
00:31:15,140 --> 00:31:17,300
Getting close, nearing the end.

758
00:31:18,820 --> 00:31:20,019
And close to my birthday.

759
00:31:20,580 --> 00:31:21,539
Oh, fun.

760
00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:24,740
A little teaser for next week.

761
00:31:24,740 --> 00:31:25,700
Have a great week.

762
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:26,420
We'll talk soon.

763
00:31:32,259 --> 00:31:33,620
All right, so they're all distracted.

764
00:31:34,580 --> 00:31:37,460
It appears to be at the moment, yes.

765
00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:39,380
And some sacrifices have been left in the middle?

766
00:31:40,820 --> 00:31:41,700
Not many,

767
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:44,580
because there was some talk about things.

768
00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:46,180
Well, yeah, they threw things.

769
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:49,460
I assume they threw as many as they could

770
00:31:49,460 --> 00:31:51,380
up into the air and then caught and ate them?

771
00:31:51,380 --> 00:31:51,940
Yeah, oh yeah.

772
00:31:51,940 --> 00:31:52,580
Okay.

773
00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:53,780
I just imagine them being like,

774
00:31:53,780 --> 00:31:54,820
whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.

775
00:31:54,820 --> 00:31:55,380
See you in a few.

776
00:31:57,940 --> 00:32:00,900
Yeah, there appears to be three to five people

777
00:32:01,540 --> 00:32:03,540
still left running now.

778
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:04,900
Running where?

779
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:05,780
Away from the tower.

780
00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:06,660
I would say anywhere.

781
00:32:06,660 --> 00:32:07,620
At this point, it's probably better.

782
00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:08,260
Well, no, I know.

783
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:10,340
But if there is like an entrance or something

784
00:32:10,340 --> 00:32:12,660
from where they were brought into it,

785
00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:15,540
I'm assuming they weren't brought through

786
00:32:15,540 --> 00:32:19,220
a hole that they had to take boulders apart

787
00:32:19,220 --> 00:32:21,140
and then crawl themselves out of a crater

788
00:32:21,140 --> 00:32:22,660
and then around the end.

789
00:32:22,660 --> 00:32:24,420
That's how everyone gets in here, Amy.

790
00:32:24,420 --> 00:32:25,300
I don't think it is.

791
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:27,620
Then maybe we could,

792
00:32:27,620 --> 00:32:28,900
maybe going in that direction,

793
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:32,100
we might find some people to kill.

794
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:33,700
I don't want to fight dragons, you guys,

795
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:34,820
or I'll fucking die.

796
00:32:35,860 --> 00:32:36,500
Yes.

797
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,260
You continue to see the people

798
00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:40,660
running across the volcano

799
00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:42,900
and from around the tower,

800
00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:46,420
you see blasts of energy following behind them,

801
00:32:48,420 --> 00:32:50,020
striking one of them in the back

802
00:32:50,020 --> 00:32:51,220
as he falls to the ground.

803
00:32:52,020 --> 00:32:53,380
I mean, now is probably a good time

804
00:32:53,380 --> 00:32:55,860
to get on Guacamole and ride up somewhere.

805
00:32:57,220 --> 00:33:00,180
Well, if I follow that blast of energy?

806
00:33:01,140 --> 00:33:02,820
Did we see a muzzle flare?

807
00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:04,580
Like, do we know where it came from?

808
00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:08,180
Didn't appear to be a dragon blast,

809
00:33:08,180 --> 00:33:11,460
more a magical spell cast.

810
00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:13,860
I think I could tell that as a spell cast.

811
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:16,180
Yeah, no, that's what I'm wondering.

812
00:33:16,180 --> 00:33:18,180
So we didn't see where it came from.

813
00:33:18,980 --> 00:33:21,460
It came out from further around the tower

814
00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:23,380
where you could not see specifically

815
00:33:23,380 --> 00:33:24,660
who or what casted.

816
00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:27,940
Well, I mean, let's go fucking see.

817
00:33:27,940 --> 00:33:29,460
The dragons are as distracted

818
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:30,579
as they're gonna get, right?

819
00:33:30,579 --> 00:33:31,620
Yeah, I guess so.

820
00:33:32,340 --> 00:33:34,019
You continue to walk around

821
00:33:34,019 --> 00:33:35,700
and two more blasts go out,

822
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:37,860
hitting two more of the people.

823
00:33:37,860 --> 00:33:39,460
Okay, now we run around.

824
00:33:39,460 --> 00:33:41,940
You run around and you see

825
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:45,059
a massive lit entrance

826
00:33:45,779 --> 00:33:48,019
to the temple of Tiamat

827
00:33:48,019 --> 00:33:49,620
and standing at the gate,

828
00:33:50,340 --> 00:33:51,940
I'm assuming you're peeking around

829
00:33:51,940 --> 00:33:53,539
rather than just bolting around the corner.

830
00:33:53,539 --> 00:33:54,579
I'm always peeking.

831
00:33:55,060 --> 00:34:00,260
Um, you see three red-robed wizards

832
00:34:00,260 --> 00:34:01,540
standing at the gate.

833
00:34:02,260 --> 00:34:05,700
Guys, guys, I'm gonna use a spell.

834
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:09,380
I'm doing like mad hand gestures.

835
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:11,539
One of them casts more spells

836
00:34:11,539 --> 00:34:13,539
than fires them out at the remaining people

837
00:34:13,539 --> 00:34:15,059
and two of them begin to turn

838
00:34:15,059 --> 00:34:17,460
and walk back into the temple.

839
00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:19,620
I'm gonna cast Stone Skin upon myself.

840
00:34:20,180 --> 00:34:21,860
Before they exited,

841
00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:23,300
I was hoping to hit them all

842
00:34:23,300 --> 00:34:24,820
with Eldritch Blast.

843
00:34:24,820 --> 00:34:27,780
You can most certainly give it a go.

844
00:34:29,059 --> 00:34:32,660
Guys, guys, I'm gonna blast them.

845
00:34:32,660 --> 00:34:33,300
And so...

846
00:34:35,780 --> 00:34:36,500
One per each.

847
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:39,300
Okay, I just feel like

848
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:40,420
I had already rolled that

849
00:34:40,420 --> 00:34:41,380
and it was an 18

850
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:42,260
and for some reason

851
00:34:42,260 --> 00:34:43,539
I just decided to roll again.

852
00:34:43,539 --> 00:34:44,900
Well, you gotta roll it three times.

853
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:46,740
Okay, well, this one's a 15.

854
00:34:46,740 --> 00:34:52,900
This one's a 26.

855
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:53,540
There we go.

856
00:34:55,380 --> 00:34:56,900
And this one's a 26.

857
00:34:57,940 --> 00:34:59,460
I peeked around the corner

858
00:34:59,460 --> 00:35:01,780
and I've essentially just like

859
00:35:01,780 --> 00:35:02,820
put my fingers out like a

860
00:35:02,820 --> 00:35:03,780
kkkkkk

861
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:07,220
type of motion.

862
00:35:07,220 --> 00:35:09,140
Thea makes weird cat noises

863
00:35:09,140 --> 00:35:11,380
and throws Eldritch Blast out.

864
00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:14,980
The one red wizard who is looking towards you.

865
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,619
He sees them coming

866
00:35:17,619 --> 00:35:19,699
and he deflects the one

867
00:35:19,699 --> 00:35:21,219
that is going to hit him.

868
00:35:22,260 --> 00:35:24,500
The other two hit the backs

869
00:35:25,219 --> 00:35:28,099
of the other two red wizards

870
00:35:28,099 --> 00:35:28,900
and they take

871
00:35:30,579 --> 00:35:33,380
eight and seven.

872
00:35:33,380 --> 00:35:35,619
They are struck by these.

873
00:35:36,820 --> 00:35:39,460
They let out a cry of pain.

874
00:35:40,179 --> 00:35:41,380
Turn to look

875
00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:43,539
and the other red wizard yells

876
00:35:44,179 --> 00:35:46,659
to them to get back inside.

877
00:35:47,380 --> 00:35:50,500
They run and begin closing the door

878
00:35:51,059 --> 00:35:52,980
as the red wizard turns

879
00:35:52,980 --> 00:35:54,739
and continues to run.

880
00:35:54,739 --> 00:35:55,860
Roll for initiative.

881
00:35:57,139 --> 00:35:58,980
Guys, I think we're heading inside.

882
00:35:58,980 --> 00:36:00,099
I got a 12.

883
00:36:00,099 --> 00:36:02,500
I got a 16.

884
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:03,539
I got an 11.

885
00:36:05,380 --> 00:36:08,179
The two wizards who were running

886
00:36:08,179 --> 00:36:08,820
for the door

887
00:36:08,820 --> 00:36:09,940
and beginning to close it

888
00:36:09,940 --> 00:36:10,739
is their turn

889
00:36:10,739 --> 00:36:11,940
and they continue to push

890
00:36:11,940 --> 00:36:14,820
the large heavy doors closed.

891
00:36:14,820 --> 00:36:16,740
Now it is Flint's turn.

892
00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:18,500
You are a fair distance

893
00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:19,619
from anybody

894
00:36:21,139 --> 00:36:23,059
in terms of travel distance.

895
00:36:23,619 --> 00:36:25,220
75 to 100 feet

896
00:36:26,340 --> 00:36:26,980
from the door.

897
00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:29,380
All right.

898
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:33,460
Can I dash on closer

899
00:36:33,460 --> 00:36:35,059
to the door as best I can?

900
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:37,220
So if you dash

901
00:36:37,220 --> 00:36:39,059
you're going to move double your speed.

902
00:36:39,059 --> 00:36:39,619
Yeah.

903
00:36:39,619 --> 00:36:40,500
So that will get me

904
00:36:41,619 --> 00:36:43,940
roughly 50 feet away from the door.

905
00:36:43,940 --> 00:36:44,500
OK.

906
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:46,579
And can I see either one

907
00:36:46,579 --> 00:36:48,739
of the red wizards

908
00:36:48,739 --> 00:36:50,259
that are attempting to close the door?

909
00:36:50,259 --> 00:36:51,699
Like, are they visible at all?

910
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:56,980
No, they would be more behind the doors

911
00:36:56,980 --> 00:36:58,339
pushing them closed.

912
00:37:00,019 --> 00:37:01,299
I know previously, Russ

913
00:37:02,819 --> 00:37:03,940
that you've been

914
00:37:05,380 --> 00:37:08,420
in control of when Bort takes over for me.

915
00:37:09,859 --> 00:37:12,579
Is there a way that I can trigger that

916
00:37:12,579 --> 00:37:13,779
if I needed to?

917
00:37:14,739 --> 00:37:16,099
We've never done that before.

918
00:37:16,099 --> 00:37:17,859
So we're setting new ground right now.

919
00:37:19,859 --> 00:37:22,819
I'm going to say, yes, we can try it.

920
00:37:22,819 --> 00:37:24,659
Your new roll DC

921
00:37:24,659 --> 00:37:27,299
that you've been rolling has been 12.

922
00:37:27,299 --> 00:37:27,539
OK.

923
00:37:27,539 --> 00:37:29,699
If you roll under 12

924
00:37:29,699 --> 00:37:30,819
you become Bort.

925
00:37:30,819 --> 00:37:32,339
If you roll over 12

926
00:37:32,339 --> 00:37:34,019
you remain Flint.

927
00:37:34,019 --> 00:37:37,059
So give me a little narrative

928
00:37:37,139 --> 00:37:39,460
of Flint Bort

929
00:37:40,179 --> 00:37:42,340
in the talk to transition

930
00:37:42,340 --> 00:37:44,019
and see what happens here.

931
00:37:44,019 --> 00:37:48,340
Yeah, as Flint's running towards that door

932
00:37:49,779 --> 00:37:51,860
he knows Bort's got some skills

933
00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:55,380
so he has a little thought bubble above his head.

934
00:37:57,059 --> 00:37:59,699
Bort, are you ready to take over here for a second?

935
00:37:59,699 --> 00:38:00,500
I got an idea.

936
00:38:03,299 --> 00:38:04,500
What do you have in mind?

937
00:38:05,219 --> 00:38:07,619
Well, you got that skill

938
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:11,139
where you can kind of almost disappear

939
00:38:11,139 --> 00:38:12,260
if I remember correctly.

940
00:38:12,820 --> 00:38:14,820
You take that step into the ethereal.

941
00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:16,099
Yeah.

942
00:38:16,099 --> 00:38:16,579
Yeah.

943
00:38:16,579 --> 00:38:18,420
You think that's going to be helpful right now?

944
00:38:18,420 --> 00:38:20,340
Yeah, I'm thinking we're going to need

945
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:23,460
a little fun voodoo to take care of these guys.

946
00:38:24,420 --> 00:38:25,059
So I'm going to roll.

947
00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:27,940
OK, I rolled a nat 20

948
00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:29,300
so I guess I stay as Flint.

949
00:38:29,860 --> 00:38:30,739
You are Flint.

950
00:38:31,940 --> 00:38:33,699
Poor time to roll a nat 20.

951
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:36,260
A super confident version of yourself.

952
00:38:36,260 --> 00:38:36,820
I guess.

953
00:38:36,820 --> 00:38:37,380
No, no, buddy.

954
00:38:37,380 --> 00:38:37,780
You're right.

955
00:38:37,780 --> 00:38:38,980
I got this.

956
00:38:38,980 --> 00:38:39,620
Yes.

957
00:38:39,620 --> 00:38:42,340
OK, I'm going to throw my dwarven thrower

958
00:38:42,340 --> 00:38:45,140
at the red wizard that's still outside the doors.

959
00:38:45,140 --> 00:38:45,640
Sure.

960
00:38:46,260 --> 00:38:47,860
He's running back to you

961
00:38:47,860 --> 00:38:50,180
so you got advantage on this roll.

962
00:38:51,140 --> 00:38:51,640
OK.

963
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:54,820
Well, first one's an 18

964
00:38:54,820 --> 00:38:55,380
but you never know.

965
00:38:55,380 --> 00:38:56,420
I might get that crit again.

966
00:38:58,180 --> 00:38:59,860
Rolled it under my computer.

967
00:38:59,860 --> 00:39:00,260
No.

968
00:39:00,260 --> 00:39:01,220
So OK.

969
00:39:01,220 --> 00:39:04,820
So the first one is a 28.

970
00:39:06,099 --> 00:39:06,420
Yeah.

971
00:39:08,099 --> 00:39:09,220
You mean that almost 30?

972
00:39:09,220 --> 00:39:10,180
Don't want to assume.

973
00:39:10,180 --> 00:39:11,539
I got to make sure.

974
00:39:11,539 --> 00:39:12,340
That's fair.

975
00:39:12,340 --> 00:39:14,579
We're so fucked if that didn't hit.

976
00:39:14,579 --> 00:39:15,079
Right.

977
00:39:15,860 --> 00:39:16,900
So that's 10 damage.

978
00:39:17,539 --> 00:39:20,099
I'm assuming Flint is like talking out loud.

979
00:39:20,099 --> 00:39:20,420
Oh, yeah.

980
00:39:20,420 --> 00:39:22,260
No, he's just a straight up crazy person.

981
00:39:22,260 --> 00:39:23,460
No, that's good.

982
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:24,019
That's good.

983
00:39:24,019 --> 00:39:25,140
That's good stuff.

984
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:28,340
So you two, you see you see Flint like book it.

985
00:39:28,340 --> 00:39:29,220
Like he's running.

986
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:30,260
Like there's no tomorrow.

987
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:32,340
And you hear him grumbling as he's running away.

988
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:36,260
And then he stops and he has a bit of a confused.

989
00:39:37,940 --> 00:39:39,220
That should have worked better.

990
00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:40,580
And then he throws his hammer

991
00:39:40,580 --> 00:39:42,820
and hits the red wizard in the back

992
00:39:42,820 --> 00:39:45,380
and it recoils and comes back to him

993
00:39:45,380 --> 00:39:48,900
as the red wizard is propelled forward closer to the door.

994
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:51,140
He's now about 25 feet from the door.

995
00:39:54,580 --> 00:39:55,860
Should have tried to take out his feet.

996
00:39:55,860 --> 00:39:56,660
Sorry, guys.

997
00:39:56,659 --> 00:39:59,779
It is the remaining red wizard's turn

998
00:39:59,779 --> 00:40:03,699
and he runs through the doors as they slam shut.

999
00:40:06,179 --> 00:40:08,420
And you hear yelling.

1000
00:40:09,379 --> 00:40:12,259
Well, probably mostly Flint because you're closer.

1001
00:40:12,259 --> 00:40:14,500
You hear yelling from inside.

1002
00:40:15,539 --> 00:40:17,859
What was a fairly bright light

1003
00:40:17,859 --> 00:40:21,699
coming through some of the windows, it gets brighter.

1004
00:40:23,539 --> 00:40:25,219
And the dragons in the air

1005
00:40:26,020 --> 00:40:30,020
and off in the distance, they were incredibly loud.

1006
00:40:50,020 --> 00:40:51,540
Some of the music in today's episode

1007
00:40:51,540 --> 00:40:54,980

1011
00:41:24,980 --> 00:41:26,260
Stopping the picture recording.

1012
00:41:36,820 --> 00:41:39,219
Something else happened with the foot getting put in something.

1013
00:41:39,219 --> 00:41:40,579
I know it's amazing.

1014
00:41:40,579 --> 00:41:42,900
We like teed it up so well.

1015
00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:48,019
Horrible.

1016
00:41:48,019 --> 00:41:49,460
That's worse than water.

1017
00:41:49,460 --> 00:41:51,860
Yep, that is 100% worse than water.

1018
00:41:51,860 --> 00:41:52,260
Worse.

1019
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:54,659
I guess I do both voices, don't I?

1020
00:41:55,940 --> 00:41:58,900
All right, I'm just going to talk to myself here for a sec.

1021
00:41:58,900 --> 00:41:59,699
Hang on.

1022
00:41:59,699 --> 00:42:00,500
Welcome to the club.
