[0.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[2.4s] You are standing at the gate to the temple of Tiamat.
[5.8s] I mean we might want to hop on that giant owl and just fly up to that window we saw
[9.4s] earlier.
[10.4s] Guys, I see a person down there, like one of the sacrifices.
[14.3s] I mean they might have a way in for us.
[16.2s] What's your name?
[17.2s] Merv.
[18.2s] I was trying to make my way to a tunnel that we've been led to before on the
[22.4s] other side of this caldera here.
[24.5s] There is a long stretch, a long corridor that you follow with no other turns and it
[30.2s] ends with a door in the ceiling.
[34.5s] You see across the way Red Wizard standing looking up as the one in front of you
[41.7s] is.
[42.7s] Yes, I'm going to take my shot.
[44.6s] Because he did not see this coming, his head falls to the ground.
[49.9s] In the blink of an eye, Thea runs up and she disappears and is immediately on the
[58.5s] other side.
[59.6s] This is a wizard you haven't seen since you were aboard the frost giant's floating
[66.3s] fortress.
[68.0s] This wizard is Wrath Modar.
[71.6s] I'm going to cast Hail of Thorns, it's a bonus action.
[75.3s] As the arrow passes this shimmering globe and springs to action 10 feet in front of him
[84.1s] but is shattered and disperses as the arrow continues to go through and hit him in the
[89.6s] shoulder.
[90.6s] Oh, it's maybe like a little anti-magic shield.
[92.9s] You are too, mate.
[95.9s] Tiamat will destroy you soon.
[101.6s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons, we're a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast and I am your
[105.8s] dungeon master Russ More and with me today is Carla Johnson.
[111.2s] Did you just say Rush More?
[112.7s] Oh, he so did.
[113.7s] It's a really good movie.
[115.0s] I love Wes Anderson, he's great.
[117.2s] It's a really fun movie so I can see why you would want to be Rush More.
[120.8s] Yeah, if you're going for a Sean Connery kind of thing, I'm Rush More.
[125.2s] Anyway, sorry, sorry, Russ.
[128.2s] No, that's fine.
[129.2s] I didn't realize I said it.
[130.3s] I play New Laura Moonbrook.
[132.3s] And Amy More.
[133.3s] I wasn't going to say anything and I play Thea Anastasia.
[138.4s] And Tom Laird.
[139.4s] I really like Jason Schwartzman in Rush More, he's delightful.
[142.6s] Me too, he's great.
[143.6s] Well, yeah, he's delightful in general.
[145.3s] I've never actually seen Rush More.
[147.1s] What?
[148.1s] You need to watch that movie, Russ.
[149.2s] And I play Flint Firebeard.
[150.7s] Is that the one where she puts her hands in her armpits or is that a different
[153.9s] one?
[154.9s] That's Superstar.
[155.9s] Wow, that is radically different.
[156.9s] Yeah, very different.
[158.6s] This doesn't sound like a very good movie.
[160.6s] That's the one I'm thinking of.
[161.6s] It wasn't a very good movie.
[162.6s] Sorry, Molly Shannon, but mm-mm.
[164.6s] No, haven't seen Rush More.
[166.3s] So my homework for next week.

[226.4s] And thank you.
[229.4s] And if you want to become a patron, come join us over on Patreon.
[232.8s] That's all I got.
[234.3s] So fuck it.
[235.3s] Let's play D&D.
[236.3s] A boulder flies through the air released by a dwarven trebuchet.
[247.5s] The wine of the falling stone rings out as it lands in the midst of cult mercenaries
[252.6s] and ravenous devils, a sickening mix of blood, bone and dirt fly up into the air.
[262.3s] We see Elven Bladesingers weightlessly moving through the crowds as if dancing across the
[268.5s] water, clearing the way, pressing further towards the Well of Dragons.
[274.6s] In behind them, we see Lady Leral Silverhand atop a hippogriff.
[279.5s] At her side, Dagult Neverember and Delaine Winterhound skim above the mass of soldiers,
[285.3s] Their eyes set on the glowing spire at the center of Tiamat's temple.
[293.0s] Inside the caldera, we see the crashed floating iceberg of a palace.
[300.9s] Dragons and frost giants battle, multiple dragons coming down, picking up the frost
[307.3s] giants and throwing them hundreds of feet.
[311.4s] Frost giants throw their clubs and ice boulders up at these dragons, bringing them down and
[317.3s] beating them into the ground.
[320.3s] As we watch this battle, slowly the palace begins to vibrate and move.
[325.8s] It is broken into several pieces, but the largest of those pieces begins to lift
[331.5s] off the ground, making its way towards the temple.
[336.7s] Inside, Flint and Nularaaaa are charging toward Wrathmodar, the leader of the exiled red wizards.
[343.5s] Thea, her back to the giant bard entrance to the temple, squaring off against a wizard,
[349.3s] when suddenly, there is a crash.
[354.4s] Thea, make a dexterity saving throw, please.
[358.8s] Oh no, you're straight off the fucking bat, I'm going to use one of my lucks.
[367.7s] I really rolled a 19.
[371.9s] Hearing the explosion, Thea looks up and sees Rubble falling towards her.
[378.4s] From each of the spires, you look and you see coming down and around the wizards
[385.3s] and Thea dive out of the way just in time, Rubble fall to the ground right where she was standing.
[392.6s] You look up and you see, 50 feet above you, red wizards casting the ritual to rise to
[401.1s] the mat, floating in each of the spires.
[405.9s] High above the center, the floor falls out and falls to the ground by Flint and Nularaaaa.
[412.9s] You look up and you see suspended in the center of the energy, a floating figure, 100 feet
[419.8s] above you, adorned with a terrifying and magnificent five-color dragon mask.
[426.0s] The booming voice you heard before emanates again.
[430.1s] Decimators of dragons, how nice to see you again.
[434.9s] After all this time, sadly it will be the last as we near the final steps in
[440.3s] bringing our queen to this world.
[443.1s] High Severin Silveration will be inconvenienced no longer by your putrid attempts to halt
[449.7s] this ritual.
[451.5s] Severin rejoins the chant as the five colors begin to grow stronger and you feel a shift
[457.3s] in the very earth itself.
[464.1s] We're back to the top of the order, so you...
[466.6s] What was the order?
[467.6s] Nularaaaa is up first.
[474.6s] Okay.
[477.6s] So to set the scene, you are about 40 feet from Rath Modar who you have seen has a
[483.3s] globe around him preventing any magics you presume from hitting him.
[488.9s] Flint is beside you as is Donnie and Thea is engaged in battle with a wizard down
[496.9s] the spire with the blue energy.
[498.9s] Not getting crushed by rocks.
[500.9s] You now know that there are five other wizards up atop these spires.
[506.9s] The only way you can presume to get up to them is by flying and Severin is directly
[512.9s] above you.
[515.9s] Choices.
[516.9s] Okay, well, the thing is, just one person so I can only deal with one thing.
[524.9s] So can Donnie go first instead of me or does he have to go after me?
[530.9s] God, I don't see why not.
[531.9s] We've never done it that way, but I mean, I see no reason why you couldn't.
[535.9s] You could just...
[536.9s] Yeah, I think he just goes on my turn, right?
[537.9s] Mechanically, we would just say Nularaaaa delays her actions until Donnie takes his
[541.9s] turn, so...
[543.9s] Well, that's what I'm gonna do.
[545.9s] Do whatever you want.
[546.9s] Because Donnie, last time, had recharged his fire breath.
[550.9s] Yep.
[551.9s] He wants to try and fire breath Rath Modar.
[553.9s] Beautiful.
[554.9s] He's gonna take his movement and then he is going to do his fire breath.
[558.9s] So that is a dex save.
[561.9s] Dexterity saving throw.
[563.9s] That's a 22.
[566.9s] Geez, he's dexterous as fuck.
[568.9s] But that's okay.
[569.9s] He still takes half damage.
[573.9s] So 20, so 10 fire damage.
[576.9s] Okay.
[577.9s] I am going to use my fleet of foot as a bonus action to dash and then also
[582.9s] make my movement so that I can get over to him.
[585.9s] Because luckily, magic damage doesn't work and I don't really do great at
[589.9s] magic anyway, so let's just try and sword this motherfucker.
[592.9s] There you go.
[593.9s] Right?
[594.9s] I am going to swing Dragon Slayer at Rath Modar.
[599.9s] And that is a 27.
[602.9s] Doesn't hit.
[603.9s] Fuck, guys, we're so fucked.
[605.9s] Well, we're done.
[606.9s] That's just one of the wizards, guys.
[609.9s] Definitely hits.
[611.9s] Okay.
[612.9s] So that is 12 piercing or slashing or whatever and then 6 magic.
[618.9s] So I guess maybe magic probably doesn't work.
[620.9s] So it's 12 and 6, 18?
[622.9s] Yes.
[623.9s] Donnie's fire breath hits the duplicate mirror image.
[627.9s] Duplicate vaporizes.
[629.9s] Nularaaaa runs forward, hitting the only left-standing Rath Modar with her sword.
[635.9s] And then that second verse is going to be the same as the first.
[638.9s] It's going to be a little bit louder.
[640.9s] 25.
[642.9s] Yes.
[643.9s] And that is a 12 and 6, so 18.
[649.9s] Again.
[650.9s] Very consistent.
[651.9s] Different combo, though.
[652.9s] Different numbers.
[653.9s] Oh, wow.
[654.9s] It's a cool 36 points of damage.
[656.9s] Yeah.
[657.9s] Yeah, worked out pretty good.
[658.9s] I'm so much better with a weapon up close than trying to do spells on people in
[664.9s] bubbles because I forget they're in bubbles because I don't even pay attention to
[667.9s] the magic anymore.
[668.9s] Never do it.
[669.9s] Guys, we need to pay attention to magic.
[671.9s] I know.
[672.9s] It's true.
[673.9s] I've been saying this all along.
[674.9s] It's true.
[675.9s] Thea is great at paying attention to magic.
[676.9s] All right.
[677.9s] Let's go.
[678.9s] Thea, you're up.
[679.9s] Okay.
[680.9s] I am.
[681.9s] Okay.
[682.9s] Sorry, I didn't quite understand your description of the red wizards that are
[686.9s] up.
[687.9s] Is it on a ledge?
[688.9s] They're essentially directly above where the current wizards are.
[691.9s] Oh, okay.
[692.9s] And I will review.
[693.9s] Oh, this is a giant up column, right?
[695.9s] Yep.
[696.9s] Okay, cool.
[697.9s] Cool, cool, cool, cool.
[698.9s] Okay.
[699.9s] I'm not into these Call to the Dragon people, but like you got to admit their
[703.9s] ceremonies look pretty dope.
[704.9s] Yeah, they got some style.
[705.9s] Yeah.
[706.9s] They do.
[707.9s] So I guess what I'm going to do, I'm going to Eldritch Blast because it can
[714.9s] go 120 feet.
[715.9s] I'm going to Eldritch Blast the asshole above me, main dude.
[719.9s] Okay.
[720.9s] What's the name again?
[721.9s] Main dude?
[722.9s] Well, you got to move then because you're currently within the spire, which
[726.9s] mean you mean you're further than 150 feet away from him.
[729.9s] Like you, you know, Pythagorean theorem, because he's a hundred feet above
[734.9s] here.
[735.9s] You're another 300 feet over there.
[737.9s] Never mind.
[738.9s] I'll Eldritch Blast this bitch in front of me.
[741.9s] Okay.
[742.9s] Let's do that instead, because there's no way my hundred feet is going to
[747.9s] move.
[748.9s] Okay.
[749.9s] 21, 22.
[752.9s] Yep.
[753.9s] The other one is 16.
[755.9s] Yep.
[756.9s] Oh, 12.
[759.9s] 12 does not hit.
[761.9s] Yeah.
[762.9s] All right.
[763.9s] 2D10s.
[764.9s] So that's 15 damage altogether.
[767.9s] Force damage.
[769.9s] With the sustaining damage he took from before, the Eldritch Blast come
[773.9s] forward and hit him directly in the chest and throw him against the wall
[779.9s] and he falls dead to the ground.
[781.9s] I yell over, guys, I killed one of them.
[784.9s] Can we air five?
[785.9s] Oh, 100%.
[786.9s] Absolutely.
[787.9s] Can I take a movement after I do an action?
[789.9s] Can I move after?
[790.9s] Absolutely.
[791.9s] I'd like to just move my however far that I can, which is 30 feet
[798.9s] closer to the middle of the spire.
[800.9s] Severin is up next and he continues the ritual to bring Tiamat forward.
[807.9s] Wrath Modar is next.
[810.9s] This guy.
[811.9s] This guy, right?
[812.9s] This fucking guy.
[813.9s] This guy.
[814.9s] He smiles at you, Nulara.
[817.9s] That's never good.
[818.9s] No, it's never great.
[821.9s] He moves his hands through the air and mutters a evil-sounding thing
[828.9s] under his breath that you don't quite understand.
[831.9s] But you must make a wisdom saving throw.
[837.9s] Okay.
[840.9s] Pla two, Virata, Nick two, et cetera, et cetera.
[844.9s] Something, something, something, dark side.
[846.9s] Yeah.
[847.9s] That is a 10.
[849.9s] 10?
[850.9s] Okay, great.
[851.9s] At the start of your turns for the duration, which is up to one minute,
[859.9s] you must roll a D10.
[861.9s] You have succumbed to the Confusion spell and Wrath gets to strike out
[867.9s] and swing at you with his quarter staff as well.
[869.9s] That's going to be a 19 to hit.
[872.9s] Yeah, that'll do it.
[874.9s] Is your armor still juiced or is it run out now?
[877.9s] The armor is, like, always good.
[881.9s] It's just the no damage only lasts for 10 minutes,
[884.9s] but it still will be half on non-magic.
[886.9s] Okay.
[887.9s] So you're going to take seven bludgeoning damage.
[890.9s] So three.
[892.9s] Whatever.
[895.9s] Some more wizard's turns and they continue to cast the ritual around you.
[901.9s] And Flint, you are next.
[903.9s] How far away from Wrath am I?
[905.9s] About 40 feet again?
[906.9s] 30 feet?
[907.9s] Approximately.
[908.9s] Yeah, approximately 30.
[909.9s] I guess I will have to dash then,
[912.9s] because I can only technically move 25 feet.
[915.9s] So as you get to him.
[917.9s] I go the long way around Nulara.
[919.9s] Okay.
[922.9s] Yeah, no, that's fine.
[923.9s] I mean, if I got this extra movement, I might as well use it, right?
[926.9s] Might as well just kind of run around them.
[928.9s] Just a couple circles.
[929.9s] Right.
[930.9s] Well, it would make sense to fight them on either side of him, right?
[933.9s] Not at the same place that he's being fought with the other person.
[937.9s] You don't want to stand in a nice line
[939.9s] so that he can hit you both with a spell at the same time.
[941.9s] Yeah, like how ninjas fight in movies is it's always one at a time
[945.9s] and then even though they're surrounded by other guys.
[948.9s] Everyone waits their turn.
[949.9s] All right.
[950.9s] So I'm going to use my Moistung Longsword
[952.9s] and take a swing at Mr. Rathmodar.
[958.9s] That is a 19.
[960.9s] Yes, you strike out at him
[964.9s] and swing into him and he disappears.
[970.9s] And he's behind you by 30 feet.
[973.9s] Seems like a fun parlor game he's playing.
[977.9s] All right.
[978.9s] I will throw my Dwarven Hammer at him.
[981.9s] My Dwarven Thrower, sorry.
[983.9s] It's the exact name for it.
[985.9s] So it's a 21.
[987.9s] Yes.
[989.9s] All right.
[991.9s] That's 14 damage.
[993.9s] You strike him square in the chest
[995.9s] and he must make a save for concentration, which he does.
[1001.9s] And he gets knocked back by about 10 feet.
[1008.9s] More wizards continue the ritual to bring Tiamat into the material plane.
[1015.9s] And we're back to the top.
[1017.9s] And it is Nularaaa's turn.
[1018.9s] Roll a D10, please.
[1020.9s] I was hoping it'd be longer until it was my turn so you might forget it.
[1023.9s] Everybody's just very one single mind going on right now.
[1027.9s] Yes.
[1028.9s] It's a seven.
[1029.9s] A seven.
[1030.9s] Seven to eight.
[1031.9s] The creature uses its action to make a melee attack
[1033.9s] against a randomly determined creature within its reach.
[1036.9s] If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn.
[1039.9s] So that would be either Donnie or Flint.
[1042.9s] So you will be rolling.
[1045.9s] I hope it's me.
[1046.9s] Let's say Flint is evens.
[1048.9s] Donnie is odds.
[1049.9s] Do you want to roll a D6 or something or do you want me to?
[1052.9s] I can do it.
[1053.9s] That's a four.
[1055.9s] It's me.
[1056.9s] I mean, you can take it more, so I'm kind of glad it's you.
[1060.9s] Also, you get to choose your weapon, though, don't you?
[1063.9s] Well, she means she's got the sword in her hand.
[1065.9s] I mean, she would make the attack as if she was attacking anything.
[1068.9s] Yeah.
[1069.9s] And you guys are never going to trust me.
[1071.9s] I'm constantly attacking you guys.
[1073.9s] Oh, well, maybe I'm not because that's a 12.
[1076.9s] Oh, yeah, that's not going to do it.
[1078.9s] So you strike out, not really knowing what you're doing.
[1082.9s] You strike out and you hit Flint in the back and get full armor.
[1086.9s] I kind of turn around and give her like a what?
[1089.9s] Does she look like she's confused at all?
[1091.9s] Can I see anything different?
[1092.9s] Oh, yeah, she's definitely confused.
[1094.9s] All right.
[1096.9s] OK, so that is my is that my first attack or this is a separate thing?
[1101.9s] I think you tend at the start of its turn determines its behavior for that turn.
[1104.9s] That's all you can do.
[1106.9s] Oh, yeah, because if you roll something different, you can act normally.
[1110.9s] Yeah, if you roll nine to ten, you can act normally.
[1112.9s] OK, so I don't even get my other attack.
[1115.9s] Nope.
[1116.9s] Sweet F.A. OK.
[1118.9s] So you've got to make a wisdom saving throw again.
[1123.9s] Nine, you are still confused.
[1125.9s] Perfect. Did you roll a D20 or did you roll the D10 again?
[1129.9s] Yeah, I did roll a D10.
[1132.9s] Wasn't I supposed to roll the D10?
[1133.9s] No, D20. Sorry.
[1135.9s] Roll a D20. Otherwise, that was an excellent roll.
[1137.9s] That was an excellent roll.
[1139.9s] Oh, well, this one wasn't.
[1142.9s] It's a four. Oh, still confused.
[1145.9s] It's still confused.
[1147.9s] She's playing D&D how she plays D&D.
[1151.9s] That's fact.
[1153.9s] Story checks out.
[1154.9s] OK, so where is Mr. Rathmodar now?
[1159.9s] He is 40 feet ahead or 40 feet beyond where Flint is.
[1165.9s] OK, well, assuming Donnie is still like with me, then he would be able to approach and then try to.
[1172.9s] Well, first he'll try and recharge.
[1175.9s] That's him trying to recharge, which he does.
[1177.9s] Yay. Awesome.
[1179.9s] So he will do another fire breath.
[1183.9s] So that needs to be a dex save.
[1186.9s] That's an 18.
[1188.9s] Well, that will this Rath is he's been doing gymnastics or something.
[1193.9s] He is very, very.
[1198.9s] So that's 20, so 10, which I think is what happened last time.
[1202.9s] His robes alight as he just misses the brunt of Donnie's flame.
[1209.9s] And he eyes up Donnie for hitting him once more.
[1214.9s] He's not looking great, though.
[1215.9s] Thea, you're up.
[1217.9s] God.
[1221.9s] What are you doing?
[1222.9s] What's that list that you're in?
[1223.9s] None of your business.
[1225.9s] Geez.
[1227.9s] It's like appendix of animals.
[1230.9s] I'm trying to make a good choice.
[1234.9s] It's not going to happen this turn.
[1237.9s] So I'm curious what's going to happen next.
[1241.9s] I know me too.
[1242.9s] I don't know.
[1245.9s] But I am going to conjure animals.
[1250.9s] I want to conjure eight Pteranodons.
[1254.9s] Yeah, you do.
[1257.9s] OK, tell me what it looks like when you cast this spell.
[1260.9s] I kind of like crouched down on the ground and I have my hands on the earth and I'm trying to pull as much energy as I can from the earth around me.
[1269.9s] And I just I raise my hands up into the air and I say.
[1274.9s] Yeah.
[1275.9s] And from from nothing, these eight Pteranodons come forth.
[1283.9s] So as I see it, you're pulling energy from the world and wisps of this begin to form and you hear the cause or roars of these Pteranodons.
[1295.9s] And you see Wrath look towards you and he raises his hand and he says, not today.
[1302.9s] And they poof out of existence.
[1305.9s] I'm going to fucking gut punch that motherfucking son of a god.
[1310.9s] I scream.
[1313.9s] And with that yell, I yell in my mind, but also kind of out like Glock.
[1320.9s] And, you know, guacamole is going to come up through the tunnel and she start to make her way.
[1324.9s] Climbing up the ladder.
[1325.9s] Yeah.
[1326.9s] Four rails.
[1327.9s] Probably just like hopping up the rungs.
[1329.9s] Just like, yeah.
[1330.9s] Like how birds do on their little ladders and cages.
[1332.9s] It's very cute.
[1333.9s] So she's going to she's going to come up and fly her max distance, which is fly 60 feet.
[1342.9s] The chants of the ritual begin resonating as the as the energy begins lifting the earth from the ground at the center.
[1353.9s] You see stone begin to heave up in the center of this temple.
[1358.9s] As the colors begin to get clearer and spin wildly.
[1364.9s] It is Rath's turn.
[1366.9s] He looks towards Flint and New Laura.
[1371.9s] And you see from within his hands a ball of glowing fire begin to form.
[1380.9s] He throws from his hands a bright streak of fire in a 20 foot radius sphere that encompasses you.
[1391.9s] Well, Donnie as well.
[1393.9s] You each must make a dexterity saving throw.
[1397.9s] Donnie is immune to fire damage.
[1400.9s] Well, then he doesn't, but he can still make it.
[1405.9s] I got a 17.
[1407.9s] I got a 17 and I'm also going to add my rabbit's foot into this bad boy.
[1414.9s] So that's now a 19.
[1416.9s] You both save.
[1418.9s] However, you take half of this fire damage.
[1422.9s] Cool.
[1423.9s] Which is 8d6.
[1426.9s] I think you read that wrong.
[1428.9s] So you take half of 30.
[1430.9s] So you take 15 fire damage.
[1433.9s] And he begins to step closer to the center of the room.
[1441.9s] The ritual continues to grow as Flint's turn comes.
[1447.9s] All right.
[1448.9s] He's how far away from me now?
[1450.9s] It looks like he is about 40 feet.
[1453.9s] I would like to once again throw my Dwarven Thrower.
[1458.9s] Okay.
[1459.9s] And I would like to since it knocked him backwards last time,
[1462.9s] I'd like to throw it past him and maybe get him on the rebound this time
[1466.9s] and maybe knock him closer to me.
[1468.9s] Okay.
[1469.9s] If that's an option.
[1470.9s] Sure.
[1471.9s] Maybe it depends on how good I roll.
[1473.9s] Could be.
[1475.9s] That's pretty good.
[1476.9s] That's a 28.
[1478.9s] So you whip it past him and he thinks you missed and looks towards you
[1483.9s] and catches it in the back and takes.
[1487.9s] I will roll.
[1488.9s] Hang on.
[1490.9s] Six and five is 11 damage.
[1493.9s] You see the wind get knocked out of him.
[1495.9s] He gets wide eyed as he flies towards you almost on this hammer.
[1501.9s] Nularaaaa, your clarity comes back as he comes so close to you
[1506.9s] that you see the life leave his eyes as he falls to the ground.
[1513.9s] Thea is legit clapping from the other side of the cavern.
[1516.9s] Just like, bravo, sir.
[1517.9s] He was a dick indeed.
[1519.9s] Yes, he was.
[1521.9s] The one that's 50 feet above me then should be relatively directly overhead.
[1526.9s] Yeah, you'd have to move.
[1528.9s] You'd have to move a little bit, but more or less.
[1530.9s] Okay.
[1531.9s] Well, I'll move a little bit so that I'm directly under
[1533.9s] just because my range of my weapon is not much more than 50 feet.
[1537.9s] So I would like to be as close as possible.
[1539.9s] Sure.
[1540.9s] And I'll continue to throw that Dwarven Thrower up there
[1543.9s] because you got to do something about this ritual.
[1546.9s] Yeah, right?
[1547.9s] The bowling for red wizards.
[1549.9s] Yes!
[1550.9s] Awesome.
[1551.9s] You got it.
[1552.9s] Okay.
[1553.9s] Seven on the first one and another seven is 14 plus five is 19 points of damage.
[1561.9s] You hit this wizard hard
[1563.9s] and he loses concentration not only in the ritual
[1567.9s] but on this flying ability that he has and he begins to fall down towards you.
[1575.9s] Can I just like stand under him with my sword raised?
[1578.9s] Sure.
[1580.9s] He throws a hammer with one hand and then takes out a sword and just waits.
[1584.9s] You're waiting as he falls.
[1586.9s] He turns and he sees this coming as he impales onto the sword,
[1590.9s] knocking it from your hand and falling to the ground,
[1594.9s] dead, blood splattered on the floor.
[1598.9s] Your sword now impaled deep within this wizard.
[1602.9s] It's fair.
[1603.9s] Gross but awesome.
[1604.9s] Right?
[1606.9s] You know what, I miss gross but awesome, you guys.
[1608.9s] Can that be, I guess that can be your movement,
[1610.9s] is like getting the sword out of the guy.
[1612.9s] Oh, yeah.
[1613.9s] Is that, can I use my last action to get the sword out of the dude?
[1616.9s] Yep.
[1617.9s] Perfect.
[1618.9s] You're like, eww.
[1619.9s] But it's a moist sword so it comes out quite easily.
[1622.9s] There's a lot of, it's just a, as it comes.
[1625.9s] Yeah, it does.
[1627.9s] Yeah, it does.
[1629.9s] You notice the walls begin to shake.
[1634.9s] As you hear a crashing thunderous sound break through the wall in front of you,
[1641.9s] Flint, about 20 feet up the wall,
[1646.9s] it seems like it's torn and falls in towards you.
[1650.9s] Make a dexterity saving throw.
[1652.9s] Alright.
[1655.9s] That is a 15.
[1658.9s] You dive out of the way, getting hit by small shrapnel and debris,
[1663.9s] and you take six bludgeoning damage.
[1666.9s] I'm gonna take three bludgeoning damage then.
[1669.9s] You look, Nulara and Flint, you can see as the giant fortress moves past the building,
[1678.9s] you see it's like an iceberg moving past when you're on a ship,
[1682.9s] and from the outside you see three hippogriffs zip by.
[1687.9s] Nulara has like a flash of her, all she wants to like be back.
[1691.9s] Her best day ever.
[1692.9s] Yeah, like back riding that hippogriff and maybe like when this is all over,
[1697.9s] we can, you know, she can get back there.
[1701.9s] Is there like a bat signal that we can shine through that hole in the wall to like call people to help?
[1707.9s] I think they know.
[1709.9s] I think they know.
[1711.9s] The building begins to vibrate as the color begins to grow in intensity.
[1719.9s] Nulara, it's your turn.
[1721.9s] Okay, I'm gonna cast Conjure Barrage.
[1725.9s] Okay.
[1726.9s] And then I'm going to fire at the floating dude.
[1732.9s] How far is he?
[1733.9s] The big bad floating dude.
[1734.9s] The big bad in the middle.
[1735.9s] He's a hundred feet up from the center.
[1739.9s] So if you want to be directly below him, you've got to get into the color.
[1743.9s] No, I don't want to be below him.
[1744.9s] So you're probably more like a hundred and thirty, a hundred and forty feet up.
[1749.9s] So I am going to cast Conjure Barrage and then I am going to fire my crossbow at him.
[1756.9s] Okay.
[1762.9s] Is that a good reaction?
[1763.9s] No, it was just a like flail throw.
[1765.9s] It's a 24.
[1768.9s] Yeah, 24 will hit.
[1770.9s] So he will take the 1d8 from the real arrow.
[1778.9s] Okay.
[1779.9s] And then more arrows were conjured.
[1782.9s] So he will also take an additional three more d8s.
[1787.9s] 16 plus one, 17.
[1790.9s] Your arrow flies up and through this ritual being cast and it impales in his shoulder and you hear a booming.
[1800.9s] So these arrows hit into his chest and side and he looks down and turns his attention to you with your next turn.
[1810.9s] As a bonus action, I am going to vanish, which I can do.
[1817.9s] Okay.
[1818.9s] Okay.
[1819.9s] Bonus action, I can hide.
[1822.9s] Okay.
[1823.9s] So I can't move, but he can't or maybe I can move.
[1825.9s] It doesn't say can't be tracked by non magical means unless I choose to be.
[1830.9s] I don't think that makes you invisible.
[1831.9s] No, that doesn't make you invisible.
[1833.9s] But it makes me.
[1834.9s] That means you got to go hide somewhere.
[1836.9s] Like what is it?
[1837.9s] What's the skill?
[1838.9s] Yeah.
[1839.9s] Hide.
[1840.9s] Vanish.
[1841.9s] Oh, vanish.
[1842.9s] Vanish.
[1843.9s] No, it's hide.
[1844.9s] Hide is hide.
[1845.9s] It's called hide and see.
[1846.9s] Bonus action on your turn to hide.
[1848.9s] Fuck, but there's nothing close enough for me to hide behind, is there?
[1851.9s] Yeah, like closest is like the rubble in each of the, either right in the center, which is kind of being swirled up or in each of the spires.
[1858.9s] Yeah, the center seems like a risky choice.
[1860.9s] Seems real dangerous.
[1861.9s] Yeah.
[1862.9s] I'm going to leave that one up to you, but yeah.
[1865.9s] So yeah, I mean, how I picture that one working is like there's things around you that you can just choose to.
[1870.9s] Work better in a forest or something.
[1871.9s] Yeah, if you were in the trees or something, it would be real helpful.
[1873.9s] You're in an open chamber, really.
[1875.9s] Damn it.
[1876.9s] Sorry.
[1877.9s] That's okay.
[1878.9s] I wanted to work for you.
[1879.9s] Nope, that's okay.
[1880.9s] I wanted to work for me, too, because I remembered that I can do it, but that's fine.
[1884.9s] Okay, that's fine.
[1886.9s] Donnie is blessed with the gift of flight.
[1890.9s] Got blessed.
[1891.9s] Yeah.
[1892.9s] Great. Donnie's recharge is fire breath.
[1893.9s] And we're going to start making our way around the glowing center towards Thea.
[1899.9s] Okay.
[1901.9s] I guess, sure, because we're closer to that.
[1903.9s] So the white guy's the next enemy to fight, right?
[1906.9s] That way.
[1907.9s] Sure.
[1908.9s] Got it.
[1909.9s] The chamber begins to resonate.
[1911.9s] You sense a smile on Severin's face.
[1915.9s] He fires down at Nulara.
[1917.9s] You see coming towards you a glowing, flaming orb.
[1922.9s] That is a 10 to hit.
[1925.9s] That will not work.
[1927.9s] Coming right over top of your head, hitting the wall behind you, an enormous eruption of
[1932.9s] fire hits the wall, narrowly missing you.
[1937.9s] And he begins to float down as the earth begins to heave even more.
[1944.9s] And cracks begin to form as Flint's turn.
[1948.9s] So he's still like 70 feet.
[1950.9s] Do I not have a turn?
[1951.9s] Did you not get a turn?
[1952.9s] I haven't had a fucking turn in goddamn forever, and I didn't want to be that
[1956.9s] player like, did my turn yet?
[1958.9s] Sorry, your turn.
[1959.9s] Yeah, your turn.
[1960.9s] Thank God.
[1961.9s] Sorry.
[1962.9s] I had stuff I wanted to do.
[1964.9s] Listen, I have a plan.
[1965.9s] Okay.
[1966.9s] Do your plan.
[1967.9s] Okay.
[1968.9s] You said there are hippogriffs flying through here now, yes?
[1970.9s] No, not flying through.
[1971.9s] They zipped past the outside.
[1972.9s] You didn't see them either.
[1973.9s] Oh fuckers.
[1974.9s] That ruined my plan only a little bit.
[1977.9s] Okay.
[1978.9s] So here's what I'm going to do.
[1980.9s] How far away am I from Severin?
[1984.9s] He's 70 feet straight up from the center.
[1987.9s] So you're probably like, I don't know, 100 feet away from him up.
[1991.9s] 100 feet up?
[1993.9s] Yeah.
[1994.9s] Okay.
[1995.9s] Good.
[1996.9s] What I'm going to do is I'm going to jump.
[1999.9s] I'm just kidding.
[2004.9s] If I move this way 30 feet first, that's squares.
[2012.9s] So you're moving straight into the center of the heaving ground and churning lights.
[2017.9s] Only a little bit.
[2018.9s] Like there.
[2019.9s] Right on the edge of it.
[2021.9s] Yeah.
[2022.9s] So now he's like 80 feet ahead of me?
[2024.9s] Sure.
[2025.9s] Okay.
[2026.9s] I want to cast confusion on him because someone gave me acorns to do so.
[2031.9s] Do it.
[2032.9s] Okay.
[2033.9s] I cast confusion.
[2034.9s] He is going to need to have a wisdom saving throw.
[2039.9s] That is a 20.
[2041.9s] Okay.
[2042.9s] Well, he can just go fuck himself.
[2046.9s] Okay.
[2047.9s] Guac flies 60 feet, but she's going to go around.
[2052.9s] To the right or to the left?
[2053.9s] She's going to go to the right.
[2054.9s] 60 feet?
[2055.9s] 60 feet.
[2056.9s] Got it.
[2057.9s] Nothing if my stuff works.
[2060.9s] Get a little downtrodden.
[2061.9s] Flynn, it's your turn.
[2063.9s] I'm going to take my dash action to kind of end up where Rathmodar's dead body is on the map.
[2070.9s] You got it?
[2073.9s] Yeah.
[2074.9s] I guess just I'll kind of keep moving along outside the middle, but that's about it.
[2084.9s] A few things happen now.
[2089.9s] The ground cracks open.
[2092.9s] Light and fire begin to pour into the room.
[2099.9s] At that moment, you hear a call of a dragon stick its head through the open wall, a giant red dragon.
[2112.9s] But instantly before he releases his flame breath, it has a pained look and roar.
[2120.9s] As he pulls back out and you see Lady Leral Silverhand, Lord Neverember, and Delaine firing everything they have at him to try and keep him off.
[2132.9s] And in an instant, you see three glowing golden globes land at your feet.
[2140.9s] They explode.
[2142.9s] And an energy washes over top of you.
[2145.9s] As you regain 70 hit points each and all of your spell slots, as the earth begins to shake and you hear a sickening roar.
[2161.9s] And Severn yells, the time is now.
[2166.9s] As the snout of the largest dragon you've ever seen starts to come into the chamber.
[2174.9s] Light and fire pour into the temple of Tiamat.
[2178.9s] You see the red snout followed by the green and the black and the white and the blue pour in.
[2186.9s] Tiamat is here.
[2189.9s] Your world has already ended.
[2204.9s] Welcome to the end part, because I'm not going to put this in the middle.
[2222.9s] It's going to be at the end.
[2224.9s] Wow, what a departure from our normal.
[2226.9s] Well, you know, we're getting down to it.
[2228.9s] So I don't want the chance of any mentions or spoilsies to ruin a potential episode.
[2236.9s] That's good call, because I never remember anything and I probably just say it offhandedly and ruin it totally.
[2242.9s] So this is a good idea.
[2243.9s] Yeah.
[2244.9s] And this way, because it's at the end, we can say a big thank you to our single line Tiamat at the end of this episode, Sean Howard.
[2251.9s] Thanks, Sean.
[2253.9s] Our friendship is not at all altered by you playing this terrible character.
[2257.9s] Yeah, well, I mean, it was just he just he just came on and said hello.
[2262.9s] And that's the last we'll hear from him.
[2264.9s] Yeah, right.
[2265.9s] Probably.
[2266.9s] But you can check Sean out.
[2268.9s] He's going to be in next week's episode.
[2270.9s] Maybe listen to that and then go check him out in the end of time and other bothers and Alba Salick.
[2274.9s] So link his information down in the description.
[2278.9s] He's also in the Facebook group.
[2280.9s] But somebody else take over.
[2282.9s] The Reckless Play Guild.
[2284.9s] He's a gosh dang delight.
[2286.9s] And you'll probably remember Sean from one of our live episodes when we were at PodCon.
[2292.9s] He played one morning with us and was a delight.
[2295.9s] Super delight.
[2296.9s] And if that's how I like any word to describe Sean would be just delightful.
[2301.9s] Delightful.
[2302.9s] That man is delightful.
[2304.9s] Yep.

[2401.9s] Once like a year ago, kind of stock and I say we keep calling it that.
[2406.9s] But in case you're wondering what the heck a gook hang is, we go on Google Hangouts and you can come and you can talk to us.
[2413.9s] And we mostly like talk about we just nonsense, just a lot of nonsense.
[2419.9s] But it's very fun.
[2420.9s] It is.
[2421.9s] There's so many more things on Patreon that you can get a hold of.
[2424.9s] And we've got goals that we're trying to achieve so that we can bring you and patrons and everybody more fun content.
[2431.9s] Maybe you don't have the money to go on Patreon.
[2434.9s] And that's OK.
[2435.9s] We love you so much anyway.
[2437.9s] But maybe if you wouldn't mind doing us like a little pity favor, we'd really appreciate it if you could write a review or rate us.
[2444.9s] That'd be really nice.
[2446.9s] Some great people have already done that.
[2449.9s] This one was let me face up on Facebook by one David Ginsburg.
[2454.9s] He gave us five stars and he says one of my top five D&D actual play podcasts.
[2459.9s] The crew of Dumbgeons and Dragons brings it every time.
[2462.9s] And I am so excited to be a listener and a fan.
[2464.9s] They're great to talk with.
[2465.9s] And I enjoy getting to hear their continued adventures.
[2468.9s] Thanks, David. Thank you.
[2470.9s] Also, SpaceKey66 on Apple podcasts rated us five stars and said, I've binge listened to you guys for a month and a half and I'm almost caught up.
[2481.9s] I've used some of your ideas in my own campaign and I'm thoroughly entertained by the debauchery that goes down.
[2486.9s] You're doing the forgetfulness is hilarious.
[2489.9s] I think you guys should start a podcast called Saving Private Thea.
[2493.9s] Unintended.
[2498.9s] Thank you, SpaceKey.
[2500.9s] I agree with everything you said.
[2502.9s] The forgetting is hilarious, right, Russ?
[2504.9s] Oh, yeah, absolutely.
[2506.9s] And just like on brand, totally done on purpose.
[2511.9s] Everybody loves it.
[2512.9s] Yeah.
[2513.9s] When you guys don't remember what's going on.
[2515.9s] Or the stuff we have or who we've talked to or what we've talked about.
[2518.9s] All of that stuff.
[2520.9s] This review is from Facebook from Zoe Mahoney.
[2524.9s] I just found this podcast a few days ago, but I'm already on episode 12.
[2527.9s] I seriously find this podcast super hilarious.
[2530.9s] It's perfect for listening to on my car drives and for when I'm working on projects.
[2533.9s] The group keeps it lighthearted, but also has a creative way of playing D&D with interesting twists.
[2538.9s] The group also clearly has a great friendship and makes the gameplay even more fun with interesting banter.
[2544.9s] Yeah, these guys are OK.
[2546.9s] Yeah, you all are pretty great.
[2548.9s] You guys are OK.
[2550.9s] Just some of the best people.
[2552.9s] Thank you all for those lovely, lovely reviews.

[2592.9s] This one.
[2593.9s] Yeah, we thought about the name a lot.
[2595.9s] We came up with that poetic name.
[2600.9s] Yeah, we've been working on it.
[2603.9s] We slept on it.
[2604.9s] We've been working on the title for three years.
[2606.9s] It's why we kept fucking around in the game because we wanted to really get a good title.
[2611.9s] Really had to nail it down.
[2612.9s] The title is really everything.
[2613.9s] Dumbgeons and Dragons this arc.
[2615.9s] The next arc will be called that arc.
[2617.9s] Oh, there it is.
