[0.0s] Well, hello there, it's me, your Dungeon Master Russ More.
[2.8s] Thank you for joining us for today's episode, which is a little late from the release schedule,
[7.4s] but it's, as you can see, a long one from the runtime, and we set up some pretty big
[12.3s] things in it, so I wanted to make sure that it all flowed well and sounded great
[17.2s] and just really came together the way we had envisioned it when we played it, and
[21.5s] I think we nailed it.
[23.3s] I hope you think so too, we'd love to hear what you think.
[26.1s] Also, we're not going to do an interlude, so I'm going to remind you that there's
[29.5s] a few days left in our contest.
[32.5s] If you want to enter to win a copy of Baldur's Gate Descent into Avernus or some Dungeons
[38.1s] and Dragons swag, all you have to do is rate and review us or show us that you

[103.0s] All the details are linked down in the description.
[105.0s] Please do so because they are wonderful and beautiful people.
[109.1s] Now, I won't distract you anymore.
[111.2s] We'll get you to today's episode.
[114.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[116.6s] Oh, it's real nice to meet you.
[117.9s] My name is Lip Sinky Pip Diggins.
[120.0s] Perhaps it would be for your own health to see if I can't suss out a resolution
[128.3s] to what you need.
[129.3s] I don't appear like I've got a choice.
[130.6s] You, uh, you ever heard of this one?
[132.8s] Black, Blackpool?
[134.0s] No, it's not ringing any bells.
[135.6s] I welcome you to Blackpool.
[137.9s] And if you need anything, do not hesitate to ask.
[140.9s] So you're, you're not from here?
[142.3s] No, no, just just traveling through.
[144.5s] So not anymore.
[147.2s] Well, that's the trouble.
[149.2s] Why the digging?
[150.4s] You felt like they were in the ground?
[151.9s] Just got to go on my instincts about what the right thing to do is.
[155.6s] And that felt like the right thing to do.
[157.0s] I have a hinky feeling about all this, but I got a good feeling about you, Pip.
[161.0s] Oh, well, that's awfully nice.
[162.8s] I got a good feeling about you guys, too.
[164.7s] I will send out word throughout the town and send it to the appropriate people
[168.2s] and let them know that the heroes of Faerun, the decimators of dragons,
[173.1s] are here to help our fair little haven.
[175.6s] And I'm sure they would be more than welcoming to have you come in
[179.1s] and squash out whatever bugs seem to be crawling around.
[183.5s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[185.3s] We're a D&D fifth edition actual play podcast,
[187.4s] and I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.
[189.0s] And with me today is Carla Maxted.
[192.3s] That's me. I am playing Lipsinki Pip Diggins,
[196.0s] a deep gnome.
[198.6s] You don't know why yet.
[199.8s] Something.
[201.1s] Something with magic.
[202.6s] Yep.
[203.4s] And Amy More.
[205.5s] That's me.
[207.2s] I'm playing Thea Amastasia.
[210.9s] And I'm on solo mode, barely.
[213.2s] Sorry, I'll speed it up just a little bit.
[215.3s] And Tom Laird.
[217.1s] That's me.
[218.0s] I'm playing Flint Firebeard.
[219.8s] And back with us again today from Bombarded,
[222.9s] it's your dungeon maestro, Kyle Glasset.
[225.1s] Hey, everyone.
[226.0s] Thanks again for having me.
[226.9s] This is gonna be a lot of fun.
[229.8s] And I'm just stoked to get to it.
[232.9s] Yeah.
[233.8s] We're gonna get into it this episode.
[235.5s] Let's do it.
[236.3s] Where we got a whole bunch of things
[238.0s] where we just get into is over on Patreon,
[239.9s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast,
[241.7s] where when you are a patron,
[243.0s] you get an episode dedicated to you
[244.4s] like today's patron, Christian Brown.
[246.6s] Yay.
[247.4s] Thanks, Christian.
[248.4s] You rock.
[249.3s] Thank you, Christian.
[251.1s] Fuck it.
[251.9s] Let's play D&D.
[255.4s] You wake up the next day and you go to the hospital
[259.1s] to grab Lipsinki.
[262.0s] When you get there,
[262.9s] Vorunax is there waiting for you with his trio.
[269.3s] Good morning.
[271.5s] Good morning.
[273.6s] I imagine.
[274.4s] Hey there, hey there, Vorunax.
[276.7s] Did you rest well?
[279.0s] Yeah, pretty delightful.
[280.4s] The inn was very comfortable.
[282.4s] Fantastic.
[283.7s] Well, I have made arrangements amongst the townsfolk
[288.0s] and have also spoken with the doctors here
[291.5s] to permit Lipsinki to be able to travel around
[295.3s] with you as you investigate the ailment
[298.7s] of our fair little city.
[301.5s] I mean, proposed ailment, but sure, yeah.
[303.7s] Yes, yeah.
[304.6s] Well, I mean, we're listening to Lipsinki
[307.6s] at this point, so I don't want to downplay
[312.6s] what they may be experiencing or hearing,
[315.6s] and if there's something to it,
[317.4s] then you're absolutely right.
[319.1s] We should try to seek it out and do the good thing.
[323.8s] That's right.
[324.7s] What's the worst that could happen?
[327.4s] That's a very, very good question, Thea.
[330.1s] I can't even fathom what it might be.
[331.9s] No, why is that that?
[336.0s] That's a good way to set up the adventure.
[338.0s] Why, Amy, why?
[340.1s] I've never played this game before.
[344.3s] As you're discussing, who knows what.
[348.7s] The door is open and two of the attendants
[352.0s] open the door and Lipsinki exits into the day.
[358.4s] Well, hi, Lippy.
[362.6s] Well, that's a fun new nickname.
[364.6s] Nobody's ever called me that before.
[366.6s] It's usually Pip, but I'll go with Lippy.
[369.7s] If that's what you like.
[370.8s] Might be a random assortment of a jumble
[372.9s] of the same letters of your name put together.
[376.3s] All right, I mean, it's so nice to be outside,
[381.0s] and can I, I want to see if my powers are back.
[387.0s] Okay, how are you testing this?
[388.8s] Well, let me tell you how I'm gonna test it.
[391.2s] All right.
[392.4s] I'm going to cast Thaumaturgy,
[396.4s] and I'm gonna say, it's such a beautiful day,
[401.6s] and see if it's three times as loud as normal.
[404.2s] It definitely echoes through the muddy bunny alleyway.
[407.7s] I'm startled, it's all getting, I'm like, Jesus.
[411.0s] Had I been drinking a coffee,
[412.5s] I've since dropped it on the ground.
[414.3s] Spilled it all over here.
[415.9s] You see in the window of the muddy bunny pet shop,
[419.0s] bunnies just hopping wildly.
[421.2s] Hold on, is it only bunnies in this pet shop?
[424.0s] It's all that's been established so far,
[426.6s] and I mean, what's in the window?
[428.8s] They're just in a weird mud pit.
[432.9s] They're like the dirtiest animals you've ever seen.
[435.0s] You're like, why is this shop a place?
[436.9s] But it's just got little bunnies in it, it's cute.
[440.6s] Well, with that loud yell,
[445.7s] I assume you're prepared.
[447.3s] Do you have everything you require
[448.7s] to check foundations or basements?
[451.8s] Also, how did you make your voice that loud?
[454.2s] Just gotta know, one magic user to another.
[457.2s] Oh, it's just a little thing I like to call,
[460.0s] and then I do it again.
[462.2s] Thaumaturgy.
[463.9s] Oh, my.
[467.8s] Oh, boy.
[468.6s] That is impressive.
[469.5s] You didn't read it off a scroll or anything.
[472.6s] How did you do it?
[474.2s] Well, it's just one of the things I can do.
[477.2s] I've heard about you.
[478.3s] I know, you know, sometimes certain magics
[481.6s] you can just do.
[483.6s] Can I tell if she's a fellow druid?
[487.2s] Can I give her a hug and just no?
[489.0s] What's with even the hugging?
[490.1s] You gotta roll high on your grope again.
[494.0s] Can I roll?
[495.8s] I mean, you could ask, but yeah.
[497.9s] Are you a druid?
[499.6s] Oh, that's so nice of you to ask.
[501.8s] No, I'm not a druid.
[504.4s] Are you gonna make me go through the whole list
[506.0s] of all the magic people we have in our world?
[508.0s] I mean, I feel like it's maybe a little bit
[510.3s] weird of you to just be asking,
[511.6s] but I mean, you did just get me out of prison, so.
[513.8s] No, I'm so sorry.
[515.4s] I would like it to be a surprise.
[518.8s] Do I still have my bracer on
[520.6s] or did they take that away when I was?
[523.4s] Everything was taken from you previously.
[527.0s] I will leave it up to Vorunax
[528.6s] if they grant you things back.
[531.2s] Mr. Mayor, how would you feel about me
[532.8s] getting that bracer back?
[534.3s] It's black, it's got a small diamond in it.
[538.2s] Please call me Vorunax.
[540.4s] Well, if you promise to stop yelling
[545.0s] as loud as you have been, perhaps that can be arranged,
[548.6s] but this is the kind of, you know,
[551.4s] disrupting the peace that you were doing before,
[554.5s] which has gotten you in this situation, so.
[557.3s] Right, right.
[558.2s] Perhaps dial it back a little bit,
[560.1s] especially if you're going to be
[561.2s] going into people's houses.
[564.9s] And yes, I think we can arrange that,
[567.2s] and I snap for one of the doctors
[569.9s] to go get her belongings.
[571.8s] One of the attendants goes back inside
[574.6s] after a few moments,
[576.3s] comes back out with a bag and box of things
[580.8s] and hands them to you and appears
[584.7s] all your belongings are in there.
[586.2s] Great.
[587.4s] Well, I've got a bracer that I strap on.
[589.5s] And Lipsinki, what is it that this bracer does?
[592.4s] Why does it mean so much to you?
[594.8s] Well, it's got a lot of sentimental value
[597.9s] and I press the diamond and it shoots out
[600.8s] and it's a never-dulling shovel
[604.9s] that I used to dig my holes.
[609.4s] Well, isn't that just super handy?
[611.3s] I press it again and it goes back in.
[614.6s] Interesting.
[615.4s] Wow, okay.
[616.9s] Well, I don't think we're going to be needing that.
[618.8s] I had an idea, Pip,
[621.0s] that maybe you were feeling compelled to dig
[623.8s] because these voices that you're hearing
[626.6s] are underground.
[628.4s] But I don't think anyone would be able to yell to you
[631.0s] if they were just buried in a hole.
[632.9s] Do you think maybe they could be in a basement somewhere?
[637.7s] Well, Dolly, I don't know.
[639.4s] I mean. Tunnel?
[640.9s] Let me see if I can hear them.
[644.6s] They'll be louder now that I'm outside.
[648.8s] And what, do you want me to roll something right?
[653.4s] Yeah. Okay.
[654.8s] What do you want me to roll?
[657.8s] Probably a D20.
[658.8s] Arcana.
[660.0s] Okay. Arcana.
[660.8s] Okay.
[662.0s] Probably a good.
[662.8s] Is there going to be a perception?
[666.8s] I'm just wondering. Yeah, no.
[667.6s] Because it's not her knowledge of it.
[669.1s] It's just being able to be open to the voices.
[672.8s] Yeah, that's fair.
[674.5s] Go perception.
[676.0s] Unless Arcana was a better roll for you.
[677.6s] It was a way better roll, but that's okay.
[679.6s] Oh, fuck.
[680.6s] It's okay, it's a 19 anyway.
[683.1s] I'll leave it to Amy to talk you out of a good roll.
[685.5s] 19.
[686.6s] If she can't physically touch your dice,
[688.4s] she will touch them with words.
[690.2s] That's right.
[691.5s] Watch out, I'll curse your dice.
[692.7s] Yeah, as you exited the building,
[695.4s] they were a little louder,
[696.7s] but now that you're focusing on them,
[698.8s] you can hear distinct cries or calls for help.
[708.8s] No real, sorry, no real precise location.
[711.7s] Just kind of echoing around.
[715.2s] Okay, but several voices?
[718.0s] Yes.
[720.5s] Do you hear anything?
[721.4s] Well, I can hear him,
[722.2s] but I'm not sure exactly where I need to go.
[725.0s] I mean, all I did before was just waited and listened
[729.4s] and then went sort of, you know,
[732.0s] where it felt like the right place to go.
[733.7s] So if y'all are on board for that plan again,
[739.0s] can we just do that?
[740.9s] I don't have anything else scheduled for today.
[743.1s] Yeah, no, this is why we're here.
[745.9s] Let's do it.
[747.1s] Okay, so I'm going to leave the Money Bunny Alley
[751.4s] and head into town, I guess,
[754.8s] sort of back towards the Blackpool Tavern and Inn.
[759.2s] Inn and Tavern?
[760.4s] Whichever it was.
[761.3s] Inn and Tavern.
[762.2s] Okay.
[763.1s] Lipsinki just starts walking away.
[765.5s] Novrath says, well, if you need anything,
[768.0s] just feel free to give us a holler.
[771.3s] Will do, buddy, buddy.
[772.4s] Sure, yeah, will do.
[773.4s] I start skipping after Tip.
[776.0s] Y'all take care.
[776.8s] I look forward to seeing what you find
[778.1s] or hopefully don't find, of course.
[781.0s] However, this could not get in the way
[783.1s] of a good day of chore, and so excuse us.
[786.3s] You head back through the streets.
[790.0s] It's fairly quiet in the streets compared to yesterday.
[794.9s] Aren't as many people walking around.
[796.7s] Everyone who you do see that smiles and waves at you.
[801.2s] Everyone?
[802.0s] Everyone.
[802.8s] So that's what I was gonna say.
[804.7s] Everyone.
[805.5s] No dead fish-eyed people?
[806.7s] Yeah, everyone that you pass up by
[809.7s] looks up at you and smiles and waves
[811.5s] and then goes back to doing what they're doing.
[814.3s] You, Lipsinki, you hear the voices.
[819.0s] And as you're going, they're getting stronger.
[823.4s] Like they come in waves.
[825.1s] As you move through the center street,
[828.0s] the main road in town,
[831.5s] you hear them very loud and then they kind of fade
[835.9s] and then come loud again and fade
[839.0s] as you are making your way down to the end.
[843.9s] So like I'm tuning a radio
[845.5s] and I can't quite dial it in?
[847.9s] Yeah, that's a good analogy for it, yes.
[851.5s] Um, is it possible as I,
[855.5s] to just stop when I hear it louder
[859.5s] and see if I can get some kind of idea?
[863.6s] Yes, you stop.
[865.1s] Make a perception check as you stop.
[867.4s] Twin.
[868.2s] You stop and you look down and you're looking around
[870.6s] and you look back down the street to which you came
[874.0s] and you kind of walk back and forth
[876.2s] between two of the stronger points
[878.3s] and you notice they're,
[880.5s] the way that the houses are set up,
[881.8s] they're all directly across from each other
[883.6s] and you notice that they're kind of run directly
[887.1s] between the houses is where they're strongest.
[890.8s] So sorry, houses are facing each other along the street
[894.2s] and then sort of like perpendicular to house to house
[897.3s] is sort of where I'm noticing.
[898.7s] Exactly.
[902.4s] Well, y'all, I can really,
[905.1s] I'm really picking up something here
[906.6s] and I press the button like the diamond on my bracer
[909.6s] and I start digging in the street.
[911.3s] No, hold on.
[912.3s] Wait, wait.
[913.4s] It's just that I hear the voices
[914.6s] and I've already dug so much.
[915.8s] It's like kind of unbelievable
[917.8s] how much I've dug already actually.
[919.5s] Like I just started and it's like 10 feet already.
[923.2s] Oh my gosh.
[924.2s] Okay.
[925.2s] Lipsinki, stop.
[926.3s] Stop, stop.
[927.2s] All right.
[928.0s] Just for a second.
[929.0s] Let's, we've been given permission
[931.0s] to go into any house we want.
[932.5s] Oh.
[934.1s] So before we start wrecking their landscaping,
[940.2s] maybe let's go into this nearest house
[943.5s] and just see what we see.
[946.1s] And you tell us, hear what you hear.
[948.6s] Rusty, did it get louder when I was digging?
[950.5s] The deeper you go, it does become more amplified, yeah.
[956.9s] Well, all right, we can try it that way,
[958.2s] but I can, it's like I'm feeling it more
[962.5s] when I dig, when I get closer.
[965.2s] And I totally get that.
[966.8s] But my thing, just my thought process is
[970.8s] if there are people who need help under the ground,
[974.2s] there has to be an entry or an exit point somewhere.
[980.3s] Right.
[981.4s] Otherwise they're already suffocated down there.
[983.2s] So first, let's just check to see if
[986.0s] there's anything that we can find,
[987.6s] any trap doors, any tunnels that lead from basements,
[993.2s] and see if we can get to them that way.
[994.5s] And if we don't find anything,
[996.2s] you can dig until you reach the other side of the world.
[1001.8s] Well, all right.
[1004.0s] She's just like fucking excited.
[1006.1s] She just wants to dig.
[1007.5s] I just want to dig, man.
[1009.6s] All right, so we go up to the closest house
[1012.8s] to where she's digging.
[1013.8s] Sure, yeah, you go up to one of the houses
[1016.0s] on one side of the street,
[1017.1s] and you knock on the door.
[1019.1s] Yes, we're not just gonna be like,
[1020.6s] I have authority and kick the door in Van Damme style.
[1024.2s] I don't know.
[1025.0s] The power hasn't gone to my head yet.
[1026.8s] Sorry, is Donnie with you?
[1028.0s] We did not specify off the top there
[1029.8s] if he's flying tree to tree,
[1032.6s] licking his lips at sweet, sweet cows.
[1035.5s] I think we may have left him in maybe,
[1039.8s] we've let him go off and do his own thing.
[1042.4s] Just not to go too far.
[1043.5s] And I'm constantly being like, Donnie?
[1045.3s] Yep.
[1046.2s] You've been stealing cows, did you?
[1047.4s] Not yet.
[1048.8s] Not yet?
[1049.6s] What?
[1050.4s] No.
[1051.3s] Donnie.
[1052.1s] Didn't.
[1052.9s] Don't get yourself in trouble.
[1053.8s] Also, keep an eye out for that Vorunax guy.
[1056.6s] Is that a...
[1061.4s] I've got my eye on you kind of thing, or like?
[1064.9s] Sure, you want to be a spy?
[1068.0s] Well, I'm kind of a big gold dragon.
[1071.1s] You are gold, yeah, and you are big.
[1074.3s] Just keep an eye out for anything weird.
[1076.2s] All right, I'll just like, you know, fly above.
[1079.1s] Yeah.
[1080.0s] And see what I see.
[1081.0s] Okay, you just keep yourself safe, man.
[1082.7s] All right.
[1083.8s] Don't steal cows.
[1085.0s] Not yet.
[1087.8s] Knock, knock, knock on the door.
[1089.7s] Yeah, you hear footsteps from inside,
[1091.9s] and the door opens, and there is a halfling female
[1096.6s] who opens the door and says,
[1097.7s] oh, you're the ones checking the basements for things?
[1103.0s] They didn't, they said just to let you in.
[1105.5s] And we're just gonna look around.
[1106.6s] We'll be very, as least intrusive as possible.
[1110.8s] Okay, Lipsinki, what's your passive perception?
[1115.4s] It is.
[1116.2s] You know, Flynn's is garbage, but yeah.
[1119.3s] Yeah, garbage damn.
[1121.6s] Passive perception is 11.
[1125.7s] Oh, it's, wow, it's outside.
[1128.2s] Mine's only 14.
[1129.5s] Yours is 19.
[1130.3s] Only 14?
[1131.2s] 19.
[1132.3s] Sorry.
[1133.1s] Sorry.
[1134.0s] Mine's 19.
[1134.8s] Only 19, Amy.
[1136.7s] Sorry, Doc.
[1138.0s] I didn't roll that for you.
[1140.0s] It's true, you didn't.
[1141.1s] No, I didn't.
[1142.0s] Although you might as well have.
[1144.1s] Probably licked your dice or something,
[1145.7s] or you used them, as I'm known to do.
[1149.9s] It's a real problem.
[1151.3s] That straight up may be one of the most disgusting things
[1153.6s] someone could possibly do.
[1155.3s] She lets you in, and you enter,
[1157.4s] and you, she says, well, the basement is just
[1160.7s] back and down the hall there.
[1164.2s] Don't mind my boys, they're just playing their games.
[1168.3s] And as you walk by the living room,
[1170.0s] there are two younger halflings,
[1173.7s] and they are looking at a board game,
[1177.8s] makeshift board game in the middle of the table.
[1181.4s] And you go down to the basement.
[1184.9s] What do we see?
[1186.7s] What do you hear?
[1188.6s] Also, what do I hear?
[1189.7s] Good question.
[1191.4s] And here, this is a full sensory adventure.
[1193.9s] I wanna be completely enveloped by this basement.
[1196.4s] Are we able to touch things
[1197.7s] in a three-dimensional sort of way?
[1200.2s] Yes.
[1201.1s] Can I lick something?
[1202.3s] Yeah.
[1203.4s] No.
[1204.3s] I mean, you can.
[1205.3s] That's right, I do what I want.
[1206.1s] All right, you head down the stairs,
[1208.0s] and they're creaky old wooden stairs
[1210.2s] into an unfinished basement.
[1212.8s] I love that you said unfinished basement.
[1215.0s] It just occurred to me that we could've gone down,
[1216.9s] and it could've been completely dry walled.
[1218.8s] Totally.
[1219.8s] It's nice flooring.
[1220.6s] It's just a set board.
[1221.5s] It's not cold.
[1222.3s] It's just a rec room.
[1223.2s] Like, oh, shit.
[1224.8s] Heated floors for the winter.
[1226.0s] There are bookshelves.
[1227.9s] This is where I should've placed the kids.
[1229.3s] God damn it.
[1231.4s] You can wreck on it, Ross.
[1232.6s] You can wreck on it.
[1233.7s] That's true.
[1234.6s] No, it's an unfinished basement,
[1236.1s] and the voices are louder for Lipsinki.
[1242.7s] You look around, everybody make an investigation check.
[1249.7s] 14.
[1250.5s] Uh-huh.
[1251.3s] 23.
[1253.5s] Five.
[1255.6s] Classic Amy.
[1256.5s] Yeah.
[1257.6s] Five.
[1258.9s] That's what it was last time I investigated something.
[1261.8s] Thea, you're busy thinking about-
[1265.1s] About how they could turn this into a rec room.
[1266.6s] About how they could turn this into a rec room
[1268.2s] for those two kids upstairs.
[1269.4s] So great, just such a great place to play.
[1271.4s] You flash back to walking by them,
[1275.2s] and you kind of get a feeling,
[1279.6s] the same kind of feeling that you got yesterday
[1281.2s] when you saw some people,
[1282.2s] is that they were very straight-faced, unlooking.
[1287.1s] They're just kind of focusing on the board,
[1289.0s] but not really making moves to the board.
[1291.6s] Lipsinki and Flint,
[1294.4s] you look around, and Lipsinki,
[1296.7s] maybe even you get down to the floor.
[1301.1s] You like to be near the dirt.
[1302.7s] That makes sense.
[1303.6s] Yeah, I can see myself towards where the street
[1306.0s] would be pressed right up against
[1309.4s] to see what I, if I can hear more or sense anything.
[1314.7s] Maybe I even cast Detect Magic.
[1319.2s] If you want to, you certainly can.
[1320.3s] I do want to.
[1321.2s] Please tell me if you do so.
[1322.0s] I do, it's a can trip.
[1323.2s] I can just do it.
[1324.6s] Sure.
[1325.5s] Oh, nice.
[1326.3s] I have to waste a spell slot for mine.
[1327.2s] Yeah, you Detect Magic all over the place, girlfriend.
[1331.0s] You do so.
[1331.8s] You don't detect anything particularly magic
[1335.7s] about this room at all, really.
[1337.4s] I mean, you detect some items on Flint and Thea
[1340.1s] that give off an aura of magic.
[1343.8s] You're looking around and I point my boots
[1345.3s] and like, eh, my amulet, eh, my ring, eh, my bow.
[1349.2s] Like all of his weapons.
[1351.3s] All the weapons.
[1352.1s] They're just glowing.
[1353.7s] It's beautiful.
[1354.6s] It's magical.
[1355.4s] But then as you're walking around,
[1356.9s] you step on a, what sounds like an echo.
[1362.6s] You get like an echoey of a footstep
[1364.7s] and you look down and it's covered in dirt,
[1367.6s] but it doesn't sound like any of the other footsteps
[1369.9s] that you had taken up to that point.
[1371.7s] Perfect.
[1372.6s] I'm going to just look right through that.
[1374.7s] I can just see through objects.
[1376.6s] So can I just see something through it?
[1380.2s] I love this character.
[1381.0s] It's very exciting.
[1381.9s] This is fantastic.
[1382.7s] What's the see through?
[1383.8s] Let me find it.
[1386.1s] Tag.
[1387.0s] Oh, ghostly gaze.
[1389.0s] Once per short rest,
[1392.0s] you can gain the ability to see through solid objects
[1394.6s] with dark vision to a range of 30 feet.
[1398.0s] Holy shit.
[1399.9s] Pretty dope.
[1400.7s] We're going to steal something together later.
[1403.0s] You see through, and I picture it kind of like,
[1404.8s] you know, a movie when it goes,
[1406.2s] like you see all of the elements
[1408.2s] as you like kind of zoom through it.
[1410.7s] So you see like the layer of dirt
[1413.1s] that goes through a layer of like a wood plank,
[1416.0s] a wood planked door in the floor.
[1419.0s] And then it opens up into a, an open chamber,
[1422.9s] like a walkway.
[1426.1s] I don't know how deep you're going here.
[1427.6s] And then it goes back into dirt again.
[1429.1s] You kind of back up a little bit.
[1431.0s] Whoa, too far.
[1431.8s] Like too far?
[1432.7s] Zoom back in.
[1435.1s] Y'all, there's a chamber down here.
[1437.6s] I just look through the dirt and the wood
[1440.3s] and I can see that there's a room down there.
[1442.0s] And I think if it's all right with you,
[1444.9s] I'm going to use my shovel
[1446.4s] and I'm going to get us down into it.
[1448.2s] You can see through things?
[1451.0s] Oh, sure.
[1451.8s] Yeah, you bet.
[1453.3s] Oh, okay.
[1454.1s] I'm just curious.
[1455.2s] I just want to know, can you do this all the time?
[1460.5s] Well, I need to, you know,
[1461.8s] take a little break every once in a while,
[1463.6s] but yeah, I mean, a couple of times a day
[1466.0s] if I need to probably, if I get a little rest in,
[1468.5s] eat my lunch or whatever.
[1469.3s] You like to dig, yeah?
[1470.8s] Yeah.
[1472.9s] All right.
[1474.4s] Just wondering why she dug before she bothered
[1477.1s] to look through to see where she was digging to.
[1479.3s] But it doesn't matter.
[1480.2s] She likes to dig.
[1481.3s] Yeah, dig, girl, dig.
[1482.4s] Okay.
[1483.2s] So I use my shovel, which is Sharpie the Shovel,
[1488.8s] and it is very quick.
[1490.5s] It's like something redonkulous.
[1493.2s] Let me find the stats, but.
[1495.5s] So Sharpie the Shovel, I can dig.
[1497.1s] Would you say this is a soft soil
[1498.7s] or probably a firm soil, probably a packed soil?
[1502.7s] Yeah, it's like a medium firm.
[1504.6s] Okay, well then let's split the difference
[1506.1s] and say I can dig 20 feet using Sharpie the Shovel,
[1509.5s] like just lickety split.
[1513.0s] Does she dig four inches and then she finds a piece of wood?
[1515.9s] I can dig through the wood.
[1517.9s] Yeah, no.
[1518.8s] Oh my God.
[1519.6s] Like it's, I'd say it's.
[1520.8s] I can dig through stone.
[1521.8s] I gotta assume I can dig through the wood.
[1523.6s] You're a mole in like a little drill machine.
[1527.2s] That's how I imagine you.
[1528.8s] It definitely isn't that far down
[1531.3s] just because of, you know, you heard the sound.
[1533.6s] If it was more than a couple of feet,
[1535.0s] I'd assume that you wouldn't have heard
[1536.5s] like the clang on the wood, but you dig
[1538.3s] and it just like the wood panel explodes
[1540.9s] down into the floor.
[1542.7s] You fall in behind it
[1544.0s] and now you're in a dark chamber,
[1547.0s] kind of stonewalled, mossy.
[1550.9s] It's dark vision, but you can still see.
[1553.1s] There's a single door that would be on the street side.
[1559.3s] Are you okay?
[1560.4s] Oh, I'm all right.
[1562.2s] It's dark down here, but y'all should come down.
[1563.3s] You guys got the dark vision or?
[1565.5s] Yeah, I do.
[1566.4s] Yeah, me too.
[1569.0s] Flint, I'm just curious.
[1571.2s] There's something wrong with the kids upstairs.
[1575.2s] Yeah, it's like those people you saw yesterday.
[1577.8s] They didn't really react to much of anything, did they?
[1580.7s] Those kids weren't doing anything around that board.
[1582.6s] They weren't fighting.
[1583.6s] They weren't arguing.
[1585.2s] I don't even know if they're kids at all.
[1586.9s] Do you wanna go down with her?
[1589.4s] I'm worried if we all go down there,
[1592.2s] we could end up trapped.
[1594.1s] One of us should stay up here.
[1595.9s] But I think we'd be better served to all be down there
[1599.9s] because then we'd have all of our abilities
[1603.1s] to get through whatever might be happening down there.
[1608.7s] Okay, yeah, I get what you're saying.
[1611.2s] It's important.
[1612.1s] Do you think they'd let me tie them up upstairs?
[1616.6s] I mean, it feels like a bit of an abuse
[1618.4s] of our free rein here.
[1620.5s] Okay, fair enough.
[1621.3s] Just a suggestion, couldn't we just block the door?
[1624.6s] I was just gonna say, can I go to the top and melt?
[1628.3s] I assume they have metal handles
[1631.2s] and melt the mechanism with produce flame
[1634.7s] so that the door can't be opened.
[1639.6s] Yeah.
[1641.1s] I do it.
[1643.2s] Do so.
[1644.4s] You produce some flame and it's blasting out.
[1650.7s] It's a flame, so the door catches fire.
[1653.4s] Oh no, hold on, do I have something better?
[1656.5s] Do you have something like heat metal?
[1657.4s] How about heat metal?
[1659.2s] Where's my heat metal?
[1660.8s] You might have dropped it.
[1661.7s] I feel like you got rid of it
[1662.9s] after three playing sessions.
[1664.6s] I did, because I was like fuck this.
[1665.4s] All right, you've already lit the door on fire.
[1667.4s] I've lit the door on fire.
[1668.8s] You've already lit the door on fire.
[1669.6s] God damn it, I've lit the door on fire.
[1673.0s] Oh, okay.
[1675.0s] You hear a knock from the other side.
[1675.8s] Is everything, there's smoke coming out.
[1677.0s] Is everything okay down there?
[1678.3s] Everything's fine, I'm so sorry.
[1679.7s] This was my bad.
[1680.6s] And I take, I take like my cloak
[1686.8s] and I patted the flames.
[1688.6s] I assume like it didn't just go up
[1690.2s] like it was kindling.
[1693.4s] Okay, no, everything's fine.
[1695.7s] I'm really sorry about that.
[1697.5s] As you were.
[1698.6s] Right.
[1700.7s] Is there anything downstairs?
[1702.1s] There's a chair I can shove at the top of the stair.
[1704.5s] I mean, you've melted the handle,
[1705.8s] but the door lit on fire as well.
[1706.6s] Oh I have, and the door lit on fire, okay.
[1708.8s] Well then, problem solved.
[1712.1s] And I head down the tunnel.
[1714.1s] Hey, you hop down in.
[1716.6s] You get down in there, Flint,
[1717.7s] you're already down there.
[1718.8s] Yep.
[1719.6s] And as, Thea, as you get down,
[1722.2s] you hear kind of a groan
[1725.7s] coming from beyond the door that you see.
[1728.6s] Guys.
[1732.4s] There's something on the other side of that door groaning.
[1736.8s] Did it sound like a person or an animal or?
[1740.3s] Do I know if it sounded?
[1743.7s] Like I've heard a lot of creatures groan.
[1746.4s] Am I like, that's an ogre.
[1749.0s] You don't specifically know.
[1751.2s] I don't know.
[1753.0s] Okay.
[1754.2s] Well, let's just go ahead carefully.
[1756.1s] Either there's a person who's heard on the other side
[1758.6s] or it could be, you know, something nasty.
[1761.1s] Okay, I'm gonna cast Primal Savagery.
[1765.5s] So my teeth and fingernails sharpen
[1768.1s] and I'm like ready to attack.
[1769.6s] Yeah, exactly.
[1771.0s] Amy made a face and it was exactly what happens.
[1774.0s] Thea, you definitely see this happen.
[1777.3s] Flint, I don't think you see this happen,
[1778.6s] but Thea, you see this happen.
[1780.0s] Her nails extend, I'm assuming,
[1783.0s] kind of like longer daggers.
[1784.6s] Kind of like a-
[1785.4s] Like Wolverine style.
[1786.3s] Yeah, but not Wolverine who's his brother?
[1787.6s] More animal.
[1788.9s] Sabertooth?
[1789.7s] Sabertooth, you know,
[1790.6s] in the gross one, when it's Leav Schreiber,
[1793.9s] I kind of do that.
[1794.9s] Yeah.
[1795.8s] Kind of, yeah, Leav Schreiber's it.
[1798.3s] The extension of the teeth and the nails.
[1801.4s] Oh, sweet god.
[1803.0s] Oh, don't worry about it, it's just to protect us.
[1805.8s] No fair, you do you.
[1808.8s] All right, what are you doing?
[1812.6s] Am I the closest?
[1814.3s] I can open the door.
[1815.4s] Sure.
[1816.2s] Or can I open the door?
[1817.2s] I guess is the question.
[1818.7s] You go to the door and it opens
[1820.4s] for you, that's what you want to do.
[1821.2s] That's what I want to do.
[1822.9s] Make a dexterity saving throw.
[1824.9s] I will.
[1825.8s] You should have checked for traps.
[1826.8s] We've been playing for how long?
[1829.0s] Not long enough.
[1829.9s] How long you don't know how long
[1830.7s] I've been playing for?
[1831.5s] We didn't check for traps at all.
[1832.4s] This is a whole new gal.
[1838.8s] That's a six.
[1842.4s] You open the door hastily.
[1845.4s] The sound of the voices are kind of clouding
[1847.5s] your judgment at this point.
[1849.7s] You open the door and an arrow flies
[1852.9s] and sticks into your shoulder.
[1855.2s] Beyond, you see a man holding a crossbow
[1857.8s] and beside him,
[1860.0s] Thea, you get a sickening twist in your gut
[1864.4s] as you see two zombies beginning to lurch forward.
[1868.2s] Roll for initiative.
[1870.0s] Fucking Jesus Christ.
[1874.4s] 13.
[1876.2s] Kyle, do you want to play some zombies?
[1877.8s] Sure.
[1879.4s] I'll put in the rolls for zombies.
[1882.6s] All right.
[1883.4s] That's a one plus my two initiative bonus, that's three.
[1886.7s] 17 for flip.
[1888.1s] I want it to go last so I could really, you know.
[1892.2s] Just really Amy it.
[1895.9s] Stop using my name as a verb or an adjective.
[1899.8s] Russ, do you just want to put all the baddies
[1901.5s] together in one?
[1904.1s] Yeah, let's do that.
[1905.2s] You got it.
[1906.2s] One cult guy, two zombies.
[1910.4s] Cool.
[1911.7s] I did roll a five with a negative two and makes it three.
[1915.3s] Yeah.
[1916.7s] Zombies are quick.
[1917.8s] Hey, get your own number.
[1919.8s] So you've got higher decks
[1921.4s] so we'll go with you first over the zombies.
[1924.3s] Yeah.
[1925.1s] I'm gonna roll a different one for the cultist.
[1927.7s] He's gonna get to go here.
[1929.0s] So exciting.
[1931.6s] All right, Flint, you're up first.
[1933.5s] Lipsinki is in front of you blocking the doorway
[1937.8s] although she did just take an arrow to the shoulder.
[1942.3s] And I assume you're short behind her
[1944.0s] usually is your motive.
[1946.2s] Sure, yep.
[1948.3s] Is she fully blocking the doorway?
[1950.8s] Well, I'm a very small person so.
[1952.8s] Very small person.
[1953.6s] I mean, you're pretty small too but.
[1954.4s] And it took it probably turned to the side
[1957.1s] when it hit so.
[1958.2s] So I'd be able to kind of shimmy past if need be.
[1960.2s] Yeah, you bet.
[1961.3s] All right.
[1962.7s] Are these zombies and or cultist?
[1965.5s] The cultist is like 40 feet down the hallway.
[1969.5s] The zombies are about 10 feet moving towards.
[1973.5s] Oh yeah, let's get into it with the zombies.
[1975.8s] All right, I'm going to sneak past Pip
[1981.2s] and I will pull out my moist tongue long sword
[1984.3s] and say the magic word of moist.
[1988.2s] Lovely.
[1989.5s] Yep, you can thank our one of our patrons for that item.
[1992.4s] That's Ty.
[1994.4s] And I will roll to attack the nearest zombie.
[1999.1s] Flint's blade begins to glisten
[2002.1s] as this gel begins to move down the blade
[2005.9s] and glow a light iridescent blue.
[2010.0s] And lubed up like that
[2010.9s] that just slides right through.
[2012.4s] Just right on in there.
[2014.0s] That's 19 for the first attack.
[2017.8s] I mean, yeah.
[2020.2s] Okay, well, you never know.
[2022.0s] Yeah, it could be a zombie with armor.
[2024.4s] Right.
[2026.5s] So the first one that is eight plus five, so 13.
[2033.3s] And that's cold damage.
[2035.6s] Okay.
[2038.2s] Okay, if that matters.
[2039.5s] It's chilly.
[2041.1s] I might as well just roll my next two attacks at once.
[2043.9s] Yeah, go for it.
[2046.2s] They were both 11 plus 10, so that's 21.
[2050.4s] You got them.
[2051.6s] You're a zombie rage machine.
[2053.0s] 12.
[2054.2s] I yell from the back, slice them up.
[2056.1s] 10 and five is 15, so 27 total
[2058.4s] for those last two attacks.
[2059.5s] So Flint rushes forward, his blade glistening,
[2062.4s] takes two huge chops into the first zombie
[2066.0s] and it falls to the ground.
[2068.8s] Then swinging over to the second one
[2071.2s] takes a large chunk out of its side
[2074.0s] as it lets out a groan.
[2076.2s] And Lipsinki, it's your turn.
[2078.7s] Okay, so I am probably closest to the dude that shot me.
[2083.1s] He's down the hall.
[2084.0s] Okay, so a zombie is closer then.
[2087.0s] Yeah, so Flint, zombie, and guy down the hall.
[2090.8s] Okay, well, I've already got my primal savagery going,
[2096.6s] so I may as well try and attack that zombie.
[2099.6s] So I don't know what my...
[2104.0s] Hey, you're good at casting spells, Amy.
[2107.0s] What do I add to an attack spell?
[2109.6s] To an attack spell, you have a spell attack bonus.
[2112.8s] Up at the top, you see your modifier,
[2114.8s] spell attack, and save DC.
[2118.0s] If you click on the spells tag.
[2119.2s] Yeah, you've got a spell tag.
[2120.6s] Okay, so that's a 19.
[2122.8s] New rules.
[2124.6s] Good job, Amy.
[2125.7s] Try it.
[2126.5s] Yeah.
[2127.5s] That hit, sorry?
[2128.4s] It does.
[2129.2s] Okay, so I'm gonna do 3D10 acid damage.
[2133.8s] Hmm.
[2135.0s] Which is 10, 19, plus seven is 26 damage.
[2142.4s] So how does it look?
[2143.4s] Holy shit, probably not good.
[2144.8s] It probably smells worse.
[2145.9s] It does seem like gross, right?
[2148.5s] Because I have these gross nails,
[2150.8s] and I'm this weird saber tooth Nosferatu combo
[2155.9s] that shoots acid out.
[2157.7s] I just got a very accurate vision of you.
[2160.0s] But little.
[2160.9s] Yeah, but tiny.
[2161.9s] Big red pigtails sticking up the side.
[2166.0s] So yeah, I feel like it is very,
[2168.3s] it smells like bile or something,
[2170.6s] just like really disgusting.
[2172.6s] When you bring up the pigtails,
[2173.7s] I keep thinking of Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold.
[2177.3s] Yeah, kinda like that.
[2178.9s] I'm thinking Pippi Longstocking, straight up.
[2182.0s] Yes, that happens, and the flesh begins to melt away,
[2185.8s] and it begins to melt through the bone,
[2187.9s] and that zombie just falls to the ground
[2190.0s] in like a puddle of ooze.
[2192.5s] And do you have any other attacks, options?
[2194.9s] I don't, but I go back to normal,
[2196.5s] like my teeth and fingers, like I'm normal again.
[2200.2s] I think I only get one attack.
[2201.4s] You are small, but impressive.
[2205.6s] That's what everybody says about me.
[2206.4s] You all look up as the cultist
[2209.0s] readies another arrow.
[2211.1s] The 16 on the die against the little thing
[2215.0s] that just clawed up a, well, yeah.
[2219.2s] A perfectly fine zombie.
[2221.4s] Yeah.
[2222.2s] So yeah, that'll hit.
[2223.9s] The ravenous looking one.
[2225.6s] And yeah, 18 with modifier, so yeah.
[2229.2s] The arrow flies loose, and that's a D8 plus four.
[2234.0s] D8 plus four.
[2235.1s] That is a one on the die, so five damage.
[2238.0s] Yeah. So good.
[2239.6s] Guess we didn't give you damage off the first one.
[2241.7s] That's fine.
[2242.5s] It was more for flavor than anything.
[2243.8s] Yeah.
[2245.6s] You know she's not gonna die down here,
[2247.4s] so that's fine.
[2250.6s] And as that cultist lets loose the arrow,
[2252.5s] he runs down the hallway to the side.
[2255.1s] Can I do a reaction before he does that?
[2258.4s] How do reactions work?
[2259.6s] Spells are new to me.
[2261.2s] Good question.
[2262.4s] I've never had a reaction spell, I'm interested.
[2264.4s] As something happens, you can react to it.
[2266.8s] So he fired, you can react.
[2268.5s] I wanna react.
[2270.1s] Okay, what are you reacting?
[2271.2s] I am reacting with a hellish rebuke.
[2274.2s] So I point my finger,
[2276.5s] and he is momentarily surrounded by hellish flames.
[2280.0s] He has to make a dex saving throw.
[2282.9s] Well, he ain't running nowhere.
[2285.9s] He's got a dex of two there, Kyle.
[2289.6s] Yes.
[2291.9s] That'll be a six total.
[2293.9s] Okay, so that will not be successful, surprisingly.
[2298.6s] So he takes two D10 plus.
[2303.9s] When you cast a spell using a spell spot of second level
[2306.9s] or higher, the damage increases by one D10
[2310.4s] for each slot above first.
[2314.2s] I have four D10,
[2315.3s] so let's say I'm casting it at fourth level.
[2320.6s] It's 10, 20 damage.
[2323.3s] As he lets out the arrow and moves to run,
[2325.5s] he's surrounded in these flames,
[2327.9s] lets out a hideous, like,
[2330.0s] he's just in pain and anguish
[2332.6s] as you see his skin begin to bubble
[2334.6s] as he runs down the hallway.
[2339.1s] How far do you assume he gets?
[2341.9s] He's out of sight, it's like, 30 feet.
[2347.1s] So I run forward, I will run forward 30 feet,
[2351.2s] and then I will cast Eldritch Blast on my dude.
[2358.6s] Okay.
[2359.8s] And I'm going to-
[2361.2s] 40 feet to the end of the hallway.
[2362.6s] So you're 10 feet from the end of the hallway.
[2364.7s] Okay, well, this beam is 120 feet.
[2367.5s] Okay, what I'm saying, though,
[2368.6s] is you have no line of sight of him
[2371.0s] because you've run 30 feet down to the-
[2372.3s] It doesn't say I need to have him in sight.
[2374.8s] It just says a target.
[2376.4s] You can't see him as a target,
[2378.5s] is what I'm telling you.
[2379.4s] Can I not round that corner?
[2380.5s] Can you bend bullets?
[2382.0s] I mean, they're not bullets, but-
[2382.8s] Can you bend bullets?
[2384.8s] Like, no, you can't see him.
[2386.6s] Fuck this guy, I just start to chase after him then.
[2389.0s] I dash.
[2390.1s] No, I don't dash, I just run.
[2392.7s] If I dash, I'm going to catch up to him,
[2394.0s] and then he's going to hit me.
[2394.9s] Okay, so you're down 10 feet from the end of the hallway.
[2397.2s] Sure.
[2398.0s] Come on, guys!
[2398.8s] I mean, you can dash and not use all of your movement.
[2400.9s] You can be to where you can see down the hallway
[2403.1s] and call it there.
[2404.5s] Can I go to the corner and look around?
[2407.1s] Sure.
[2408.0s] That's what I want to do.
[2408.8s] You see him running down the hallway.
[2411.2s] He's 30 feet down the hallway.
[2413.0s] I yell, wimp!
[2414.4s] Yeah.
[2416.4s] Kyle, can you roll me an attack roll, please?
[2419.4s] Oh, and I bring my head back.
[2421.7s] That would be a 16 on the die again.
[2423.6s] The first zombie that was cut into by Flint
[2426.8s] reaches up and grabs at him.
[2430.3s] The zombies didn't come back.
[2432.4s] What the fuck is this?
[2433.2s] So that punches into your leg, Flint,
[2434.9s] and you take that bludgeoning damage as he lets out,
[2438.1s] and they go, ugh!
[2440.5s] Is this non-magic bludgeoning damage?
[2443.1s] This is non-magic bludgeoning damage.
[2444.7s] This is zombie damage.
[2446.0s] And how much damage am I eating on this?
[2447.8s] It is a one on the die, so two bludgeoning.
[2451.5s] Two bludgeoning damage.
[2453.2s] Okie dokie.
[2454.6s] So there's one zombie who's trying to make a move on you.
[2458.7s] The other zombie is an oozy puddle.
[2460.3s] Is he caressing his leg?
[2461.7s] Yeah, he's just moving his hand up and down.
[2465.4s] So Flint, back to you.
[2467.4s] All right, so the zombie is grabbed onto my leg?
[2470.0s] Yes, sir.
[2471.1s] Okay, I will attempt to extricate my leg
[2475.0s] from the situation via my longsword.
[2480.2s] It's a 23 for that one.
[2482.3s] Nah.
[2484.3s] Nah.
[2485.2s] He has a metal arm somehow, like what?
[2487.5s] Yeah, like what?
[2489.5s] And that is 13 damage on the first attack.
[2492.7s] Yeah, you cut down into its head
[2495.4s] as it slams into your leg and it splits wide open.
[2500.4s] I yell back, didn't you kill that one already?
[2502.5s] Yeah, yeah, it looks like they're coming back.
[2504.8s] Is it still hanging onto me?
[2506.9s] I mean, it's just kind of got a grip on you,
[2509.0s] but it's dead.
[2510.4s] Again.
[2511.3s] Okay.
[2512.1s] Again.
[2513.0s] Yeah, I was like, was it dead to begin with?
[2514.3s] I'll, I guess, try to dash with one of my remaining actions
[2519.8s] to try to get to where he is.
[2522.2s] Sure, yep, you can absolutely make it.
[2524.0s] I mean, you guys, the cultist is 30 feet down
[2527.0s] the hallway, so we can just say
[2528.2s] you're out of combat for the moment.
[2530.2s] Sure.
[2531.0s] Well, I mean, I could throw something at him,
[2532.6s] but that's fine.
[2533.5s] Go for it.
[2535.8s] You want to?
[2536.6s] Okay, I will, I'll use my Dwarven Thrower.
[2539.2s] Okay.
[2540.0s] To throw a big old hammer at him.
[2544.5s] Because, you know, as you do when you're a dwarf.
[2548.2s] So that is a 21.
[2550.7s] You throw your Dwarven Hammer,
[2551.9s] it sings down the hallway
[2553.8s] and crushes into the back of the cultist,
[2556.7s] roll damage.
[2557.5s] What a horrific surprise, right?
[2559.3s] You think you're getting away.
[2560.1s] He's so happy he's gone away.
[2561.0s] You're running.
[2562.6s] That's 11 bludgeoning damage.
[2565.5s] And you see, like, you hear just a sickening crunch
[2569.7s] as its ribs crush in on itself
[2572.4s] as the Dwarven Hammer pulls back.
[2575.8s] Part spine is stuck to the hammer
[2578.4s] as it lands in your hand.
[2581.6s] I kind of, I'll like shake it off
[2583.6s] and it like won't go right away
[2585.5s] and then I have to use my other hand
[2586.8s] to like touch it to get it out of there.
[2588.7s] Oh, don't touch it.
[2590.3s] Get out of here.
[2591.2s] It had to be done.
[2592.0s] Had to be done.
[2592.8s] Oh, God.
[2594.0s] Do you guys wanna head down this hallway?
[2595.4s] He was running somewhere.
[2597.0s] Is there any other doors or anything
[2598.6s] or are we just going on a hallway?
[2600.3s] You look down the hallway
[2601.9s] and as far as you can see,
[2603.8s] it looks like there are more hallways
[2605.6s] that jut off in either direction.
[2608.0s] You can presume that you're kind of
[2609.6s] in the middle of the street at this point.
[2614.4s] What do I hear?
[2615.2s] Didn't I say tunnels under the city?
[2617.2s] You hear the voices are coming from down
[2621.3s] into the left as you turn.
[2625.9s] They are screaming out.
[2629.2s] Some just cries of pain and anguish.
[2632.6s] Some you hear the actual words, help, help me.
[2638.4s] And they are echoing louder from down the hall
[2643.6s] where the cultist is running.
[2645.1s] It's like they're echoing out and down.
[2647.8s] Was running.
[2649.9s] Was running.
[2650.8s] Right.
[2651.6s] He is now faster.
[2653.0s] He is no longer running.
[2654.4s] Can he run without a spine?
[2656.3s] I don't think so.
[2657.6s] Not well.
[2658.4s] Not well.
[2659.7s] Well, y'all, I hear it so loud
[2661.7s] and they're screaming and they need help
[2663.8s] and we're going in the right direction.
[2667.9s] Lead the way.
[2668.8s] We'll follow you.
[2670.5s] Okay.
[2672.1s] I mean, I'm tiny and vulnerable.
[2675.0s] I'll lead the way.
[2676.6s] I just mean like, you know.
[2677.8s] It's okay.
[2678.6s] You know what I mean.
[2679.5s] You tell us the direction.
[2680.4s] I'm hearing the voices, so.
[2682.0s] I'll happily lead.
[2683.0s] You just tell me where to go.
[2684.8s] Down into the left, the way that fellow is going.
[2688.8s] You are following the voices
[2690.5s] and they're getting louder and louder
[2692.2s] the farther you go down for you, Lipsinki.
[2695.0s] And the farther you go, Flint and Thea,
[2700.0s] you're more focused on your surroundings.
[2702.4s] You hear coming from behind you
[2704.4s] and down the hall groans
[2708.4s] from further back into the darkness.
[2711.8s] You get down to the end of the hall
[2714.0s] and there is a single wooden door.
[2717.3s] It's wrought ironed like hinges that shoot out.
[2722.8s] You see a symbol with a human skull
[2727.3s] on a plate, for lack of a better term,
[2730.9s] that looks like it's made into
[2732.4s] some sort of large mace or hammer.
[2735.2s] And the handle is a spine that moves down.
[2739.2s] What did we eat last night?
[2742.9s] It's like, think about it.
[2744.9s] That's a real good question.
[2746.4s] The fuck we ate last night.
[2748.8s] Oh my God, Flint, you hear those?
[2750.8s] And I gesture with my head down behind us.
[2753.8s] Yeah, I think we gotta move forward though.
[2755.4s] We can't worry about what's back there.
[2758.1s] Look what I still have.
[2759.1s] And I bring out my bone.
[2763.6s] I still have my bone.
[2764.6s] I never used it.
[2767.5s] Lipsinki, you just see her waving a bone,
[2769.8s] laughing maniacally.
[2772.7s] I just remembered I still have it.
[2774.6s] I don't understand.
[2776.0s] Is that?
[2777.4s] It's a good thing.
[2779.5s] Oh, finger bone.
[2780.7s] Snap it and it protects you from undead.
[2783.6s] Okay, well I'm gonna fucking snap that motherfucker.
[2788.5s] A wave of energy shoots out and around you.
[2792.5s] Cut it out, it hits things.
[2794.3s] You feel it push up against the wall.
[2796.4s] So long as they're in my bubble.
[2798.4s] They, yeah, they can't,
[2800.5s] they have to make a save to enter your bubble
[2802.8s] or they have to make a check to enter your bubble.
[2804.7s] And if they do, then they take disadvantage.
[2808.1s] They can fight me?
[2808.9s] They have disadvantage on attack rolls and stuff.
[2810.7s] Cool.
[2811.9s] Yeah.
[2812.9s] Stay in my bubble.
[2814.2s] Okay, you're up against the door.
[2815.8s] You have protection from the groaning
[2818.2s] coming from behind you.
[2819.1s] What do you do?
[2821.4s] Are we able to open the door, Russ?
[2824.4s] You move to open it and it doesn't move.
[2828.5s] The handle turns, but the door doesn't physically move.
[2831.8s] Can I check for traps?
[2833.0s] Just...
[2834.5s] Sure, if somebody's already turned the handle.
[2836.5s] I know, but you just don't know
[2837.8s] if you push the door, never mind.
[2840.3s] Investigation?
[2841.2s] Yeah, that's fine.
[2843.6s] Can I reach into my pocket and I pull out
[2846.4s] just what looks like a little piece of rubber
[2848.2s] or something, but it's actually an eyelash
[2850.6s] and some gum arabic, and then I turn invisible.
[2856.3s] Okay.
[2857.2s] Don't worry, y'all, I'm still here.
[2861.6s] Got all sorts of tricks, don't you, Pam?
[2864.2s] Okay.
[2867.3s] You're good.
[2868.8s] If you stay close to me, the undead can't hurt you,
[2872.3s] but they might not be able to find you anyway.
[2875.8s] So, all right.
[2879.7s] I guess I should put my shoulder into this door.
[2882.8s] Yeah, should we all try to shove?
[2885.4s] Make a strength roll, combined or otherwise.
[2887.6s] Okay.
[2888.5s] Go.
[2890.8s] Oh!
[2892.2s] 17.
[2893.0s] Those are good noises.
[2894.4s] 17.
[2895.3s] I got 24.
[2896.1s] I got 20.
[2897.0s] Okay.
[2898.2s] Thea's feeling real revved up.
[2899.9s] She's got the adrenaline pumping.
[2903.0s] She could lift a car off a child right now
[2905.1s] if cars existed in this world.
[2907.4s] Okay.
[2908.2s] So, you three throw your shoulder into the door once.
[2912.8s] It doesn't move.
[2913.9s] You throw it in twice.
[2916.2s] It doesn't move.
[2917.5s] You feel dust kind of fall down on the outside of this.
[2921.7s] You throw a third time and the door explodes
[2924.9s] into the room and the three of you fall into a scene.
[2930.2s] Oh yeah, we did it!
[2933.6s] I'm gonna say you're so taken off guard
[2936.0s] because it was not moving.
[2937.2s] There was nothing allowing you through.
[2940.4s] God, did someone just open it from the other side?
[2943.4s] In a sense.
[2944.6s] Whoop.
[2945.6s] You look up as you kind of push yourself up
[2950.0s] and you see Varnax, Rubia, Oklarth and Novrath
[2956.1s] standing in the room and Varnax has his Pseudo Dragon
[2962.4s] Groll up on his shoulder.
[2965.6s] Around you, you see the same symbol that you saw
[2970.9s] on the door, kind of up and down columns.
[2974.7s] You see skeletons in corners of this room.
[2979.9s] Decorating the walls all around.
[2982.7s] You see a giant rib cage circling the center of this room
[2988.7s] that come up and out of the ground making a focal point
[2995.0s] in the middle of this circular chamber
[2998.6s] that you have entered into.
[3001.0s] This super creepy clubhouse you have here.
[3004.7s] Blood Lord, I have brought you ample sacrifice.
[3010.7s] Are we prepared?
[3013.0s] And I look at my three minions and I nod for them
[3018.0s] to get into position to start trying to bind,
[3022.3s] trying to basically tie up the people who fell over.
[3027.3s] They can't see me.
[3029.5s] They, yeah, they're correctly, they can't see.
[3032.0s] I scamper out of the way silently or I can roll a text.
[3038.0s] The three rush you as you're still on the ground.
[3043.6s] They're going to make, let's make a strength check
[3046.6s] against the three of you, or against the two of you,
[3049.7s] rather.
[3050.5s] Motherfucker.
[3051.4s] Eight.
[3053.0s] Seventeen.
[3053.9s] I wasted all my strength getting that door open.
[3057.9s] I'm tired.
[3059.2s] Two move to go towards you, Flint, Rubia and Ocklar.
[3064.3s] And they manage to catch you before you stand up
[3068.3s] and pull your arms behind you.
[3069.9s] You drop whichever weapon you were holding,
[3072.8s] the thrower and your sword.
[3075.1s] They fall to the ground.
[3077.8s] Thea Novrath.
[3080.1s] Instead of a, can I just ask,
[3082.4s] instead of a strength roll, can I do like,
[3085.9s] can I roll for like spaghetti, spaghetti ball?
[3090.1s] Spaget, spaghetti ball.
[3092.4s] What?
[3096.3s] I roll for wet noodle arms?
[3100.5s] Can I roll for spaghetti body?
[3102.3s] I want to go like totally limp
[3104.4s] and like try to roll out of the way.
[3107.0s] Like a small child would do
[3108.4s] when they're being carried off to bed.
[3109.8s] That's right, like limp noodle.
[3111.9s] I want, cause I know I'm never going to win
[3114.3s] in a strength battle.
[3115.2s] And I don't think Thea would try to strong arm someone.
[3117.4s] I think she'd go like dead weight, roll away.
[3120.4s] Make a dexterity check then.
[3122.9s] Cause I just think that's, oh, motherfucker Amy.
[3127.9s] Eight, I think it's the same roll as I roll for my strength.
[3131.0s] Novrath comes up behind you, Thea,
[3133.0s] and you know, you try and go limp.
[3136.3s] He's like, I've had three children.
[3138.8s] I know exactly how to deal with this.
[3140.6s] And he lifts you up. I do anyway.
[3143.0s] I'm just like, blocked over.
[3144.8s] And is carrying you in a giant bear hug.
[3148.2s] And they begin dragging the two of you
[3149.4s] and they say, where is the third?
[3151.5s] I do whisper, so you do like to hug.
[3154.4s] Yeah, yeah, no.
[3158.0s] I was, I hugged you freely.
[3160.4s] Oh, sorry I got you mixed up with your buddy.
[3162.9s] Oh, I mean, we're, I'm a dwarf.
[3166.7s] Can I, oh, we didn't bring her.
[3170.8s] Shit, were we supposed to bring her?
[3173.4s] Flint, did you, is she in your bed?
[3176.6s] No, we left her in that basement.
[3179.5s] Fuck, we left her.
[3181.3s] She's looting the zombies.
[3183.7s] The two of you are being moved
[3185.0s] to the center of this cage.
[3187.4s] And as you step in and are being bound in position.
[3191.9s] I want to cast Mass Suggestion.
[3195.6s] Oh, I like all of your spells, Carla.
[3199.6s] So I am going to try to magically influence up to 12,
[3204.2s] but in this case, only the four baddies
[3206.9s] to doing what I want.
[3210.7s] So I'm going to say, y'all should stop what you're doing.
[3214.9s] Let my friends go and leave this room.
[3218.9s] So they need to make a wisdom saving throw.
[3222.7s] Are you saying that out loud?
[3225.0s] And then I mumble and destroy your big rib cage.
[3228.9s] Okay, the Rubia, Ocklarth and Novrath,
[3233.7s] they're going to get a plus four
[3235.2s] because of an aura that I have to their saving throw, Russ.
[3239.0s] Okay.
[3240.2s] And I would make, it's a wisdom saving throw, right?
[3242.2s] Yeah.
[3244.2s] I got to 20.
[3246.6s] Rubia got plus four, that's a 19.
[3250.1s] Keepers.
[3251.4s] Ocklarth.
[3253.5s] Doesn't hire dummies in this organization, does he?
[3256.8s] Right.
[3258.2s] Ocklarth, that's going to be a 14.
[3263.7s] Novrath, 17.
[3267.9s] Okay, so the two, the 17 and the 14 will both fail.
[3273.0s] So they're going to do what I said,
[3276.6s] which was let my friends go and leave.
[3278.9s] So I think those two maybe were on one of them.
[3283.3s] Ocklarth was on Flint, Rubia was on Flint,
[3286.0s] Novrath was on Thea.
[3287.8s] So Ocklarth goes to begin to untie Flint
[3292.8s] and Novrath does the same.
[3295.8s] I will go ahead and use a channel to do any.
[3298.0s] This is starting to frustrate Varunox
[3300.6s] and I'm going to engage my conquering presence.
[3305.4s] So pretty much everyone within 30 feet that I want to,
[3308.7s] which of course is the three people
[3311.2s] that I know are in the room now,
[3312.6s] have to make a wisdom saving throw.
[3315.8s] And this is against magic, I assume?
[3318.3s] Fuck, fuck, fuck.
[3319.2s] It's against a divine feature,
[3321.6s] which I don't know how they classify it.
[3324.6s] What do you think, Russ?
[3325.4s] How's that work for advantage?
[3326.3s] But it is being frightened, just to let y'all know.
[3328.3s] Because I have advantage on wisdom throws against magic.
[3333.0s] Would you say I'm being charmed?
[3335.2s] So many questions for Russ.
[3336.6s] You're being frightened.
[3337.6s] You're not being charmed.
[3339.1s] That's the opposite of being charmed.
[3340.9s] Dammit.
[3341.9s] Okay.
[3342.8s] So it's a divine, so he's basically calling on his god.
[3346.6s] So magic and god.
[3351.8s] We're going to have to set some real big
[3354.0s] world building moments right here.
[3358.4s] So you have advantage, is that what you're saying?
[3360.1s] Yeah, I have advantage on.
[3362.2s] I mean, I'll give you advantage on it.
[3364.4s] Yeah.
[3365.2s] On wisdom save.
[3366.6s] Flint, you got to roll too, Mary.
[3368.0s] Yeah.
[3368.8s] So that.
[3369.6s] I was just waiting for you guys to figure out your.
[3370.6s] Sure.
[3373.7s] So. That's a 16 for Flint.
[3374.9s] 19 for me.
[3375.8s] Oh wait, I can reroll a wisdom save
[3377.9s] because of my charm bracelet.
[3380.6s] Thank you.
[3383.8s] I rolled worse.
[3387.8s] I'm at a 12 now.
[3389.2s] Okay, so 12.
[3390.4s] 19.
[3391.2s] Flint.
[3392.0s] Sorry.
[3392.9s] 16.
[3393.7s] 19, 16, 12, 19, 16.
[3395.2s] 12 and the 16 fail.
[3396.9s] They are frightened for a minute.
[3399.5s] I would like to reroll using my indomitable skill.
[3403.5s] Just on the off chance, I get a very nice roll.
[3407.0s] Certainly try.
[3407.9s] You could roll a two.
[3408.7s] That was a 15.
[3410.2s] I tried.
[3412.0s] Okay, so the two of you are frightened.
[3414.4s] You are still partially bound,
[3415.8s] but because you are frightened trying to move away,
[3419.7s] you begin to, you fall and scramble
[3423.0s] and are beginning to move away from Vorunax.
[3425.4s] So he's in your position kind of at one end of the room.
[3429.9s] So now you're trying to move as far away
[3431.8s] back down to the other end of the room as you can.
[3434.2s] And so.
[3436.6s] Okay.
[3437.4s] No, I was just going to say
[3438.3s] the other two left, right?
[3440.6s] They untied my friends and then they left.
[3443.4s] They were in the process of untying
[3446.2s] when he basically yelled at fuck off,
[3448.6s] you invisible person.
[3450.7s] In a commanding way.
[3452.1s] Was commanding.
[3452.9s] They dropped still partially bound,
[3456.3s] but I guess as they dropped,
[3457.9s] the two of them then turned to leave.
[3460.8s] And am I moving back towards my weapons room?
[3464.2s] No.
[3465.9s] That seems unfair.
[3467.8s] Well, they dropped them by the door
[3469.0s] and that's kind of where Vorunax was standing,
[3470.6s] so you're moving away from Vorunax
[3472.2s] now back to the closed end of the room.
[3475.1s] Okay.
[3476.1s] So Vorunax, you see two of your lackeys,
[3479.6s] Ocklarth and Novrath,
[3480.8s] beginning to go towards the door.
[3483.2s] Okay, I'm gonna say,
[3485.6s] Rubia, snap them out of their senses
[3487.3s] with whatever means you've seen necessary.
[3490.2s] As for you two,
[3491.5s] and I start following Thea and Flint
[3494.2s] as they're backing up and I say,
[3496.4s] there are many things that Orcus offers all of us.
[3500.1s] Peace, serenity.
[3502.8s] Would you get in the way of this serenity
[3504.5s] that everyone should enjoy?
[3506.7s] Do you wanna live in a world with pain?
[3509.3s] Do I keep moving back?
[3510.1s] Yeah, have we?
[3511.0s] I guess we haven't really rolled initiative, right?
[3513.3s] No, we haven't rolled initiative.
[3514.2s] Everything's just a wild free-for-all.
[3516.0s] I like it. I like this free-for-all.
[3517.3s] Me too.
[3518.1s] I'm wondering,
[3519.0s] so I'm trying to like scamper away from him.
[3521.1s] Do I know anything about Orcus?
[3524.4s] Probably, yes.
[3526.1s] Carla, which thing did you use
[3528.4s] for your stop doing things thing?
[3531.1s] Mass suggestion.
[3532.7s] Mass suggestion, that's what it was.
[3534.2s] No, the stop doing things thing.
[3535.8s] The stop doing things thing.
[3536.9s] So you know, roll a history check for me
[3539.6s] while I'm Googling other things.
[3542.3s] God, everything is awful.
[3543.3s] I wanna cast another spell, too.
[3545.0s] So much is happening.
[3546.1s] It's so exciting all of a sudden.
[3547.6s] I'm stacking spells on spells.
[3549.0s] This is getting kind of intense.
[3551.5s] Nine.
[3552.3s] So Orcus is the demon lord of the undead.
[3556.1s] What's about what you know?
[3557.6s] I just hear, fuck your Orcus.
[3561.9s] Voronax removes kind of the raggedy cloak
[3564.6s] that he normally wears,
[3565.7s] revealing half-plate armor
[3568.2s] that is just decorated in skulls
[3570.1s] and different, looks like bone,
[3572.7s] all just conjoined together to create the armor.
[3576.0s] And you see that he has painted his face
[3578.6s] to reveal, or to represent almost like a goat-like skull
[3583.1s] over his snout.
[3585.9s] Joke's on him.
[3587.0s] We're frightened.
[3587.8s] We're not looking at you.
[3589.7s] Well, I am looking at you,
[3592.2s] and you look amazing.
[3595.2s] So scary and so good,
[3597.2s] but it's unfortunate that I then cast
[3599.4s] maddening darkness right on you
[3601.2s] so like, even if they weren't scared of you,
[3603.5s] they couldn't even see your dope reveal.
[3606.3s] Sorry.
[3607.2s] What is maddening darkness?
[3608.4s] I love the chaos that has just unfolded.
[3611.5s] What does maddening darkness do?
[3613.5s] Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose
[3617.4s] to fill a 60-foot radius sphere.
[3619.8s] They're already scared,
[3620.6s] so I don't care about scaring them.
[3622.9s] The darkness spreads around corners.
[3625.3s] Even creatures with dark vision
[3626.8s] can't see through this darkness.
[3629.1s] Non-magical light or light created
[3632.1s] of spells of eighth level or lower
[3634.0s] can't illuminate the area.
[3635.4s] Shrieks, gibbering, and mad laughter
[3637.2s] can be heard within the sphere.
[3638.4s] Whenever a creature starts its turn in the sphere,
[3640.4s] it must make a wisdom saving throw,
[3642.5s] taking 8d8 psychic damage on a failed save
[3646.5s] or half as much on a successful one.
[3649.1s] That's everybody in the room!
[3652.4s] That's terrifying!
[3654.7s] Oh my god.
[3655.5s] Times are tough.
[3656.5s] Times are fucking tough.
[3657.4s] Also, I just met y'all.
[3658.3s] I don't care about you that much.
[3661.0s] Thanks for saving the world, but...
[3663.7s] Thanks for saving the world
[3664.5s] and getting me out of prison.
[3666.0s] I'll remember this.
[3668.6s] Little did you know,
[3670.0s] the bad guy wasn't the bad guy that we created.
[3672.3s] Oh my god, twist!
[3675.3s] Yeah, right.
[3676.5s] M. Night ShyamAlydin shit going on here.
[3678.3s] Right?
[3679.2s] Oh my god.
[3680.5s] It's okay, so in response to hearing an incantation,
[3684.2s] I will counterspell.
[3686.4s] What?
[3688.9s] Hey, isn't this what you wanted?
[3690.8s] That's good, I like this.
[3691.6s] It's just what you wanted.
[3693.2s] What level is that spell that you just cast?
[3696.3s] That is an eighth level spell.
[3699.7s] Ooh, this one's gonna be hard.
[3702.1s] They're all hard for me.
[3702.9s] I've never played a spellcaster before.
[3704.9s] She's just firing them up.
[3706.5s] You're doing a fucking amazing job, Carla.
[3708.9s] Holy shit.
[3710.2s] That will be hard to counter.
[3713.6s] So I think I made to cast it at a fifth level
[3716.4s] is what it looks like.
[3718.8s] Well, we'll try and see what happens.
[3720.6s] Ain't gonna be a terrible thing unless there's a...
[3724.2s] Sorry, high level characters are hard to manage.
[3728.1s] It's true, that's why we're in this clusterfuck
[3730.7s] that we've got ourselves in.
[3732.2s] It's true.
[3735.3s] That's the T-shirt.
[3736.6s] High level characters are hard to manage.
[3739.3s] It's too much.
[3740.1s] So rest with this spell guard shield that I have.
[3743.6s] I have advantage on saving throws against spells
[3745.6s] and other magical effects.
[3747.8s] I don't think this would fall in that.
[3749.3s] You would have advantage on...
[3754.2s] There's a saving throw that comes along
[3755.7s] with the madness thing, but not you casting spell.
[3759.7s] Okay, then let me just roll and add this four
[3761.6s] and hopefully I'll get above an 18.
[3763.8s] DC equals 10, yeah.
[3765.4s] Oh, I got a 20.
[3768.2s] Okay, so...
[3769.2s] Unnatural 20.
[3770.1s] Vorunax hears your incantation begin and silences it.
[3774.8s] And in that moment,
[3776.9s] a red glowing light begins to churn
[3782.6s] and open in the center of this cage that is being set.
[3789.1s] You hear two screams from down the hall
[3791.8s] and I think we've got a roll initiative now.
[3794.5s] Oh, fuck.
[3796.4s] Hey, 11.
[3797.4s] Does he take any damage from that thing
[3799.3s] or he stopped me?
[3801.1s] He stopped.
[3803.0s] It's kind of good,
[3803.8s] because I was going to have to wreck everybody
[3806.5s] to get rid of that.
[3808.4s] The fact that it does that much on a failure, dang.
[3812.6s] Yeah, that's a good spell to have.
[3816.4s] Okay, give me some...
[3817.4s] Indeed, eight double spells.
[3819.2s] 11.
[3821.6s] 19.
[3823.4s] 19 for Lipsinki.
[3826.4s] 13 for Vorunax.
[3827.4s] Lipsy.
[3831.9s] Okay, what?
[3833.1s] 15.
[3834.9s] Okay, Lipsinki, you are up first.
[3837.0s] As your spell is countered,
[3838.6s] you see this light begin to erupt from the center
[3842.3s] of the bone cage in the middle of this room.
[3845.4s] Okay.
[3846.8s] Flint and Thea, you are still frightened of Vorunax.
[3850.7s] Okay, well, how about then,
[3852.8s] I'll cast Witch Bolt.
[3855.4s] I'm going to cast it...
[3857.1s] So...
[3858.0s] Sorry.
[3858.8s] Sorry, you're invisible until...
[3863.0s] Okay, Witch Bolt.
[3864.8s] Spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell.
[3868.2s] So basically you're not invisible anymore.
[3870.5s] As soon as you tried to cast your madness spell.
[3873.3s] Okay.
[3874.2s] Yeah.
[3875.0s] Yeah, sorry.
[3875.8s] No longer invisible.
[3876.7s] There you are.
[3877.5s] I see you.
[3878.4s] Uh-huh.
[3879.2s] Uh-huh.
[3882.0s] Okay, so I'm going to cast Witch Bolt.
[3887.0s] Let's say at fifth level, because why not?
[3890.2s] And...
[3894.6s] So we've got bad guy,
[3896.7s] but also glowing demon thing emerging from somewhere?
[3900.9s] Well, glowing, yeah, kind of fiery light
[3903.6s] coming up the center.
[3904.8s] There's no physical apparition to it.
[3907.8s] Just a fiery bolt of energy coming up.
[3910.8s] Okay.
[3911.6s] And then the three others went down the hall.
[3913.6s] You heard two cries or screams.
[3917.0s] Okay.
[3917.9s] I think Varnock seems like the likely target then.
[3920.3s] So far.
[3921.2s] Okay, great.
[3922.0s] Then...
[3923.0s] For now.
[3923.8s] Then he, the target he shall be.
[3926.4s] So, oh, I think I just cast it.
[3929.2s] Is that a thing?
[3930.7s] No, I think you make a spell attack.
[3932.3s] Spell attack, sorry.
[3933.3s] Yep, attack.
[3934.6s] Okay.
[3935.8s] Okay, and you'll need to do that at disadvantage
[3938.2s] because I have a special shield that's magical.
[3940.3s] Okay.
[3942.2s] So the 24.
[3946.2s] Fuck.
[3948.6s] So, yes, that one does not work.
[3952.6s] Just no.
[3954.2s] Just no.
[3956.0s] Okay, well, I tried.
[3958.5s] See, it just ricochets off of this,
[3960.9s] it looks like a golden kind of shield
[3962.7s] adorned with jewels,
[3963.7s] but it's, I've desecrated it with the images of orcas
[3967.6s] and skulls and all that good, you know,
[3969.7s] undead looking good stuff.
[3972.0s] Goes to...
[3972.8s] You have a real theme you're going for here.
[3974.3s] Mm-hmm.
[3975.8s] Hits into the wall and bones spread out
[3979.0s] and you see them as this energy grows and fills the room,
[3982.2s] you see these bones beginning to collect together
[3984.8s] around the perimeter of the room.
[3988.1s] Flint, you are up.
[3989.4s] You are frightened.
[3991.1s] You can use your action,
[3993.5s] you can use your movement to run as far away from you
[3995.8s] as you can from Vorunax
[3998.2s] and then make a save at the end of your turn.
[4001.2s] Wow, that sounds delightful.
[4002.7s] Can I run like around him
[4005.2s] since we're in like a circular room, is that correct?
[4009.2s] Yep.
[4010.4s] So if I like keep distance from him,
[4013.2s] can I kind of go around him?
[4015.5s] It's like hamster wheeling it.
[4016.8s] Yeah, yeah.
[4017.8s] I guess you have run the perimeter.
[4019.6s] Perfect. Run the perimeter.
[4020.5s] Run the gambit.
[4021.6s] We'll run around the room
[4023.8s] and that is an 18 for the save.
[4028.0s] An 18 will do it.
[4031.2s] Ooh, yeah.
[4032.6s] I was going to burn another indomitable
[4034.1s] if I had to.
[4035.6s] You run 30 feet around the perimeter
[4038.7s] and you kind of shake your head
[4041.2s] and you're now no longer frightened of Vorunax.
[4044.8s] Vorunax, it is your turn.
[4047.4s] Okie dokie.
[4048.6s] I am going to use an action
[4053.0s] to cast Mirror Image on myself
[4057.6s] and then I am going to get right up
[4061.5s] in Thea's face knowing that
[4065.2s] Thea is frightened of me.
[4066.7s] I'm so scared.
[4067.5s] And I'm going to go ahead
[4068.7s] and just have my Sword of Vengeance
[4071.7s] and my shield ready to go.
[4074.8s] And that will, I believe, pretty much end my turn.
[4077.5s] Let me make sure here real quick.
[4078.6s] Sorry, a lot has happened.
[4080.2s] Sorry, so you're just getting
[4081.6s] uncomfortably close to me?
[4083.3s] Not just him. Yes.
[4084.6s] Four of him now just appear in front of you
[4087.5s] and rush towards you.
[4088.4s] And as I walk up I say,
[4090.6s] you do like hugs.
[4092.1s] The embrace of Orcus is divine.
[4096.2s] Using your hugs against you.
[4099.8s] How dare you?
[4101.3s] You reap what you sow, Amy.
[4104.0s] How dare you sully the good name of hugs?
[4106.7s] Thea, it's your turn.
[4107.9s] Thea, it's my turn.
[4109.2s] I see no way out
[4110.2s] but since I have to move further away from him
[4112.9s] I do what I can to get away from him
[4114.8s] and that means I'm going to take out
[4115.8s] my Tome of Thunder Clap, motherfucker.
[4118.4s] And by clap I mean step.
[4119.9s] Thunder Step, motherfucker
[4121.2s] because that's going to take me 10 feet away from him.
[4124.0s] You. Yeah, yeah.
[4126.0s] You can move. Yeah, let me do it.
[4127.2s] And then you can make a safe throw.
[4129.2s] You're going to take out a book
[4130.5s] as he's taunting you with hugs
[4132.4s] and read a passage from your book.
[4135.0s] Yes.
[4136.1s] I don't think you are.
[4137.6s] Well in the holy manual
[4138.9s] of getting me the fuck out of here.
[4140.5s] You just rolled a one.
[4143.0s] Oh wow.
[4143.8s] It's for everybody.
[4145.1s] Amy, Amy.
[4146.0s] Can't see it, it's so bad.
[4147.4s] It's a one. But it's a one.
[4148.2s] Yeah, they know.
[4149.2s] But it's so sparkly.
[4150.0s] Look how pretty this perfect number is.
[4153.8s] Okay, so logistically
[4155.3s] I don't think that you are going to do
[4157.3s] that being frightened.
[4158.6s] You have.
[4160.2s] I thought it was my only goal.
[4161.2s] You can make a save though.
[4163.6s] I. Wisdom saving.
[4164.5s] Did.
[4165.3s] Oh, I thought you were rolling
[4166.1s] for some spell you were trying to do.
[4167.0s] No, I feel like you should make
[4168.2s] your wisdom saving throw now, Amy.
[4170.0s] Yeah, Amy.
[4170.8s] You should make your wisdom saving throw now, Amy.
[4173.3s] I can though because of my bracelet.
[4176.6s] Yeah.
[4178.2s] I think it's a one.
[4179.1s] Oh my God, thank God.
[4180.6s] Oh, 26.
[4183.6s] That does it.
[4184.4s] From a one to a 26.
[4186.0s] You're fumbling and scrambling for your book
[4188.2s] and you just don't know what's happening.
[4189.7s] It throws it in the air.
[4191.0s] No, I don't throw it in the air.
[4192.6s] Oh, fuck yourself.
[4193.7s] And I catch it.
[4194.6s] You had books with me.
[4195.4s] And I say delicious.
[4196.2s] Right?
[4197.1s] I'm eating books, my favorite food.
[4199.0s] I'm kidding you.
[4199.8s] I'm not losing this book.
[4200.6s] You can keep your book, that's fine.
[4201.5s] Thank you.
[4202.3s] But you snap out of it.
[4204.0s] You're now no longer frightened.
[4205.2s] Rushing in now, you see the three figures
[4208.5s] of Rubia, Novrath, and Ocklarth.
[4211.3s] But they're not the same as when they left.
[4213.2s] They are floating blue iridescent wraiths
[4217.5s] with three blades in their hand.
[4220.4s] And Lipsinki, you are now up.
[4222.4s] The skeletons have collected
[4224.6s] and are beginning to stand in the corners.
[4227.1s] And the middle of this chamber is opening
[4230.8s] and you look beyond it
[4231.8s] and you see hands shooting up and out.
[4236.7s] Okay.
[4239.6s] I'm going to cast banishment on my friend Vorunax.
[4246.6s] Okie dokie.
[4247.5s] On my very close friend who I just want to send
[4253.7s] on a little vacation to a different plane of existence.
[4260.5s] That's fair.
[4262.6s] Do I wisdom save?
[4264.9s] You charisma save.
[4268.6s] Oh, even better.
[4271.2s] He's got a charm his way out of this one.
[4273.0s] That is a 25.
[4274.8s] Oh, fuck.
[4276.4s] Okay, then I guess I do.
[4277.9s] I mean, it was wisdom save.
[4281.5s] That would have been too easy, wouldn't it?
[4283.0s] Jeez.
[4283.8s] It would have just been too easy
[4284.7s] to just be like, bing, welcome to the machine world.
[4287.3s] Vorunax, you feel like a twinge
[4289.4s] as your spidey senses are tingling
[4294.1s] as Lipsynche begins to cast this
[4297.0s] and it just kind of shrugs and rolls off your shoulders.
[4301.0s] You seem to be the real problem here.
[4303.5s] Y'all gonna help a girl out?
[4304.8s] You haven't really been doing much so far.
[4307.2s] I don't know how you save the world,
[4309.0s] to be honest with you.
[4311.8s] Guys, I've got four of them on me, okay?
[4314.0s] Rubia bolts into the center of the room
[4317.9s] and says, I did what was necessary
[4319.8s] and she turns to look to Novrath and Oclarth
[4322.2s] and she's like, turn them into wraiths.
[4326.6s] Thumbs up from Voronax.
[4329.2s] Yeah, baby.
[4331.2s] And she rushes. Excellent job.
[4332.2s] Orcus has rewarded you well.
[4335.0s] She rushes towards Lipsynche
[4337.8s] and swings her furious longsword at you.
[4342.8s] And she gets two attacks.
[4344.8s] One is an action, one is a bonus action.
[4346.7s] Action, bonus action.
[4348.7s] Action is gonna be an 18 to hit.
[4350.6s] Yep, that'll do it.
[4352.3s] Oh my god.
[4353.1s] And that one's a 25 to hit, so you get two hits.
[4358.1s] Funnily enough, that one misses.
[4360.0s] I know, right?
[4360.8s] Weird.
[4361.7s] Funny how that happens.
[4362.5s] There's a cap.
[4364.6s] Anything more than that, you're just showboating.
[4366.7s] Right.
[4367.5s] So two, 18.
[4368.7s] So that's a 10, 14, and 17 combined slashing damage.
[4376.0s] Okey dokey.
[4377.8s] But attack rolls have advantage on her
[4381.8s] for using that bonus action
[4384.3s] until the start of her next turn.
[4387.8s] Flint, you're up.
[4390.6s] Okay, I notice that Lipsynche thinks
[4395.8s] I notice that Lipsynche takes a bit of a beating there.
[4400.9s] Am I close to my weapons at all, Russ,
[4403.0s] after skirting around the perimeter?
[4405.4s] We'll say you're within movement range of them, yeah.
[4408.5s] Perfect.
[4409.3s] I'm gonna go pick those up
[4411.2s] because I'm gonna be needing those.
[4414.7s] And I guess I'm a little bit out of
[4417.6s] like hand to hand range at this point.
[4419.9s] Yes.
[4421.0s] Okay.
[4422.1s] You're of Rubia for Lipsynche's area or?
[4426.5s] Yeah, I would like to help her out
[4428.0s] because she, A, called out for help
[4430.0s] and sassed me pretty good, which I respect.
[4432.6s] Yeah.
[4433.4s] I'll be, she took a bit of a beating there.
[4436.2s] Yes, you would be out of movement range
[4438.5s] because you have to get to your weapons.
[4440.0s] I'm gonna pick up that Dwarven Thrower
[4441.7s] and I'm gonna throw it at that wraith
[4443.9s] that's currently attacking her.
[4445.3s] Do so.
[4446.4s] And I believe you said I get advantage on these rolls?
[4449.7s] On Rubia, yes.
[4451.4s] Perfect.
[4452.2s] Well, that's great because the first one was a crit fail.
[4454.0s] Uh-oh.
[4454.8s] Oh, let's do that again.
[4457.0s] Oh, and that was a crit success.
[4459.0s] Nice.
[4460.0s] It's a very roller coaster ride here today.
[4462.0s] Yeah, it's up and down.
[4464.1s] All right, okay, D8, here we go.
[4472.4s] So two D8 and then just the damage bonus remains
[4475.7s] the one bonus, correct?
[4478.0s] Yes, that's correct.
[4478.8s] Okay, so that is 22 damage.
[4483.1s] It crushes into this ghostly figure,
[4486.6s] which becomes, she lets out like a shriek
[4489.9s] and turns and looks at you
[4491.6s] as the hammer zips back to you.
[4494.4s] I will throw it again.
[4499.0s] That one is a 21.
[4501.4s] Yes, sir.
[4505.7s] D8 this time.
[4507.8s] Ooh, that's fun.
[4509.4s] That's 15 damage.
[4511.0s] The form and figure is dispersing
[4513.4s] and is beginning to get sucked
[4514.5s] into the center of this room.
[4516.9s] All right, so it's like it's gone off of Lipsinkie?
[4522.2s] Yeah, she's kind of turned and looked at you.
[4525.9s] But yeah, so now each hit is like dispersing
[4528.4s] some of her etherealness and is being sucked into.
[4531.7s] She's still there, but not as good.
[4534.4s] Okay, let's try one more.
[4538.7s] First one was a three.
[4542.6s] Not critical, 25 for the next one.
[4545.2s] Yeah.
[4547.7s] All right, and that is 13.
[4549.7s] The third hit connects with the remaining energy
[4554.8s] that Rubia has and disperses it.
[4557.1s] She lets out a hideous cry
[4559.3s] and all of it begins to swirl
[4561.4s] and get churned up into the center of the room
[4564.8s] and your hammer comes back to you.
[4567.6s] Does it appear like the energy
[4569.2s] at the center of the room has grown stronger
[4571.5s] with this new addition or?
[4573.4s] It does appear to be not hindering it.
[4577.6s] Possibly helping it.
[4578.7s] It does appear to be not hindering it.
[4580.4s] Perfect.
[4583.0s] It is, if that is all you're doing.
[4586.0s] I mean, I could action surge,
[4587.8s] but I don't see a point for it right now.
[4589.7s] Knob Breath's turn.
[4591.1s] He zips towards you, Flint,
[4593.4s] and swings at you twice with his long sword.
[4597.1s] 21 for the first action, 18 for the bonus action.
[4601.6s] They will both hit.
[4603.6s] That's going to be 23 slashing damage.
[4607.4s] Non-magical.
[4609.2s] Okay, I will take 20 of that.
[4612.4s] Okay, it is Vorunax's turn.
[4615.5s] Okay.
[4616.4s] He was gonna turn before me.
[4618.0s] He was always before me.
[4618.9s] What?
[4619.8s] This is bullshit. Always.
[4621.0s] I know, right?
[4621.9s] Right?
[4623.3s] I'm on y'all's side, honestly.
[4624.7s] I mean, I wanna see y'all win,
[4626.1s] but you know, I'm gonna do what I can to make sure.
[4628.7s] I'm going to cradle my Mystic Arconum,
[4631.6s] which is pretty much half of a skull
[4634.3s] with a kind of a dried eyeball
[4637.8s] like sewn into the eye socket,
[4640.5s] and I am going to hold it,
[4643.3s] and the eye glows, and I'm casting Eyebite on Flint.
[4646.8s] So, Flint, if you will,
[4649.0s] please give me a wisdom saving throw.
[4652.8s] I have a question.
[4653.6s] Can he hold his four a-hole replicas of himself on me
[4658.1s] while casting this on Flint?
[4664.6s] I'm gonna go ahead and roll that save anyway.
[4666.1s] Well, yeah, just, you know, roll.
[4667.4s] Well, I'm just wondering if it might cancel mine out
[4669.3s] because if it is a concentration spell,
[4671.6s] he can't do both at once, so.
[4674.2s] You'll just have to find out.
[4677.2s] Yeah, I'm just gonna have to find out.
[4678.1s] Yeah, I am trying to find out.
[4680.5s] That's 14 for me.
[4682.1s] That will not do it.
[4683.1s] You are sickened.
[4684.8s] You are considered poisoned, sir.
[4688.7s] Does it help that I am resistant to poison?
[4691.6s] It does, you take half.
[4693.9s] No, it just says you're sickened.
[4696.1s] The target has disadvantage on attack rolls
[4698.1s] and ability checks, and at the end of each turn,
[4699.6s] you can make a wisdom saving throw.
[4700.8s] It's not, you're not poisoned,
[4702.0s] you're just sickened, like you're nauseous.
[4704.2s] Like, you've got a cold.
[4706.4s] Something's been going around.
[4708.0s] You gots to bomb.
[4709.6s] I gots to bomb.
[4710.7s] And yeah, the mirror image is still there
[4712.5s] because it's not concentration.
[4715.2s] So you've got four in front of you.
[4716.6s] Okay, well that's bullshit.
[4721.3s] So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna eldritch blast his ass.
[4728.0s] Okey dokey.
[4728.8s] And I have four beams.
[4731.7s] So I'm gonna put one on each dude
[4733.5s] to find out the realsies guy.
[4736.3s] Okay, just roll all those at disadvantage.
[4739.3s] I will.
[4742.5s] Sorry, I have four D's down.
[4746.1s] Okay, so that first one was at disadvantage, a 22.
[4750.2s] A 22 will hit.
[4751.2s] Let me see here.
[4752.6s] One second.
[4754.6s] Okay, it hits one of my duplicates.
[4760.1s] And disadvantage on the board is a 14 and that is a 23.
[4768.2s] Okay, that hits as well.
[4770.1s] Let's see.
[4772.3s] Another duplicate poofs.
[4779.0s] I don't know why it rolled.
[4781.6s] The first one was a one.
[4782.8s] The second one was an 18.
[4785.1s] So that's a 10.
[4787.4s] So it critically failed though.
[4791.2s] So the third bolt.
[4793.1s] It just doesn't go anywhere.
[4794.8s] No, it goes and hits.
[4801.1s] Lipsinki.
[4804.6s] So sorry, I just yell oops.
[4808.2s] Roll damage.
[4809.0s] Oh, I roll damage.
[4812.0s] I yell oops.
[4812.9s] My bad.
[4814.8s] I did not mean to, I'm sorry.
[4817.3s] It's three fourths damage.
[4822.4s] Right, okay, last one.
[4824.8s] Okay.
[4830.2s] 16.
[4831.7s] No, sorry.
[4832.8s] Damn.
[4836.3s] I feel very ineffectual as Thea.
[4840.6s] You got rid of two of my images.
[4842.2s] I did, I did.
[4843.6s] It's not what I wanted to do.
[4845.2s] Okay, Ocklarth goes towards Lipsinki.
[4850.6s] It swings twice.
[4852.2s] It's gonna be 19 on the first one,
[4854.3s] 13 on the second one.
[4855.6s] Those will both hit.
[4857.9s] Long sword swings down.
[4860.1s] That's going to be a 10 and five.
[4863.1s] So 15 slashing damage.
[4867.0s] And then it's back to you, Lipsinki.
[4868.4s] The energy is, you can feel it
[4871.6s] almost drawing each of you.
[4873.2s] It's like a pull that's coming out.
[4875.7s] And the skeletons now are moving towards you
[4878.4s] at your location slowly, but are there.
[4882.0s] So we've got.
[4885.2s] Whole bunch of shit.
[4886.1s] Yeah.
[4886.9s] Lots going on.
[4887.8s] How many wraiths left?
[4888.9s] Just two?
[4890.6s] Two, one on you, one on Flint.
[4892.5s] Okay, so I'm gonna yell, I like your style.
[4896.2s] And I'm also going to Eldritch Blast.
[4899.5s] So I will have, yeah, three beams.
[4905.9s] So I'm going to try and hit.
[4909.3s] Well, can I just do them all at the same person?
[4913.0s] Yeah.
[4913.9s] Great. Yeah.
[4915.7s] I mean, make one at a time
[4916.9s] just in case you kill them before, but yeah.
[4919.1s] Well, I'm going to, I won't.
[4921.1s] I don't even remember I'm taking any damage.
[4923.2s] So he keeps capturing all my spells,
[4926.7s] but I'm going to try for Marinox.
[4929.6s] So that is 23, but at disadvantage 17.
[4938.1s] No, I'm sorry.
[4939.1s] So that was one, now 20, too bad for me.
[4944.9s] But a 20.
[4948.1s] 20 will hit and it hits me.
[4952.8s] Okay.
[4953.7s] So that's not the most damaging spell, is it?
[4960.7s] God damn.
[4961.6s] What is if, you know, you get all of them on one person?
[4964.2s] Well, it's two damage on that first one.
[4967.4s] That's two more than we had before.
[4969.4s] And now we know the real one.
[4970.9s] It's true.
[4971.7s] Two damage on me?
[4972.5s] Yeah, two damage and then.
[4973.4s] I'm going to use, oh, go ahead.
[4975.4s] I was just going to fire my last bolt at you.
[4979.6s] Okay.
[4982.1s] But it is, it's a 19, 19 hit.
[4985.2s] A 19 will hit me.
[4986.0s] Okay.
[4986.9s] And yeah, it hits me.
[4989.2s] Okay.
[4990.0s] So that is nine damage on that one.
[4993.5s] Okay.
[4994.4s] So, sorry, I need to mark it down real quick.
[4996.5s] I took how much damage total?
[4997.7s] 11.
[4999.8s] 11 damage.
[5000.7s] I'm going to use reaction hellish rebuke.
[5003.7s] No.
[5006.6s] Can you hellish rebuke his hellish rebuke?
[5008.7s] Yeah, like what would that be like?
[5010.5s] Yeah, technically.
[5014.0s] And I'll do that at a,
[5018.1s] we'll do this at a fifth level.
[5020.1s] So if you will give me a dexterity saving throw.
[5025.9s] I will do that.
[5031.6s] That is a 19.
[5035.4s] A 19 does not do it.
[5037.5s] So you will take 60, 10.
[5040.7s] Holy moly.
[5042.4s] Well, welcome back to the podcast, Carla.
[5044.5s] Yep.
[5045.8s] So far, you've been shot by arrows,
[5048.1s] shot by a so-called friend.
[5052.1s] And now I'm being hellishly rebuked.
[5053.0s] You take 45,
[5055.6s] 45 fire damage.
[5057.4s] Great.
[5058.3s] Great, great.
[5061.5s] Better start adding up this damage.
[5063.1s] I can't do it on the old character sheet,
[5065.0s] but it's really getting up there.
[5067.5s] I better start.
[5070.9s] Clint, it's your turn.
[5072.8s] Okay, there's some jackass on me, right?
[5075.7s] Yes, sir.
[5076.5s] That would be Nuff Novrith.
[5079.5s] And how far away is Vorunax from me?
[5085.1s] Other side of the room.
[5086.2s] So we said movement, movement,
[5087.7s] 360 perimeter, 45-ish, 50.
[5092.2s] I don't know how math works.
[5093.4s] That's how circle math works?
[5094.6s] Yep.
[5095.9s] In this world.
[5096.9s] There's a big portal in the middle.
[5098.4s] That's right, there is, yeah.
[5099.7s] Distorts time and space.
[5102.4s] In that case, I will throw my dwarven thrower
[5106.7s] at Vorunax across the room
[5109.7s] and at disadvantage, correct, because I feel second?
[5113.1s] Yes.
[5113.9s] Okay.
[5115.3s] What?
[5116.9s] First one's a 27.
[5118.3s] Like he's yakking this entire time.
[5119.7s] Second one's a 22.
[5121.7s] 22 will hit me.
[5122.9s] Okay.
[5126.2s] That's full damage, 16.
[5128.6s] Okay.
[5130.1s] And onward and upward again.
[5133.8s] Ooh, that's a fun one.
[5134.7s] So that's a 31 on the first one.
[5136.9s] Okay.
[5138.3s] Oh, man.
[5139.6s] 17.
[5140.9s] 17 does not hit.
[5142.1s] Okay.
[5142.9s] Shit.
[5143.8s] It doesn't hit as often, yeah.
[5145.9s] All right, 24, second roll, 21.
[5150.4s] 21 hits.
[5151.4s] Okay.
[5153.3s] I'll throw that towards you.
[5154.3s] 14 damage on that one.
[5156.9s] Okay.
[5158.4s] And sure, all action surge, why not?
[5161.3s] Just do it.
[5162.3s] One more. Let's kill Kyle.
[5164.1s] Right?
[5165.5s] 25 on the first one
[5167.9s] and that's a 22 on the second one.
[5170.3s] That'll hit as well.
[5172.5s] And that's five and eight, so 13 damage.
[5175.9s] Now there's some damage.
[5176.8s] That's some good old wholesome damage right there.
[5179.7s] Champion fighter damage right there for ya.
[5181.5s] Yeah.
[5182.3s] And what's the saving throw, it was wisdom?
[5184.8s] Yes.
[5185.6s] And I can do that at the end of my turn?
[5187.0s] Yes, you can.
[5187.9s] Okay.
[5190.5s] 17.
[5192.1s] No, sorry, still sick.
[5193.9s] All right.
[5196.1s] I mean, it got a plus 13 to hit with that hammer,
[5198.7s] so it's not terrible rolling at disadvantage.
[5201.5s] No, no, I mean, it's the best I can do
[5203.3s] to keep you from just murdering me.
[5204.8s] Yeah, no, it's fair.
[5206.6s] Novrath's turn.
[5208.5s] Swings again at Flint.
[5211.6s] 25 and a nine to hit.
[5214.1s] So that's one.
[5215.6s] The nine will not do it.
[5217.7s] Funny.
[5219.2s] 10 slashing damage comes at your face.
[5222.1s] Okay, I'll take seven.
[5223.6s] Vorunax, it is your turn.
[5227.4s] I'm going to use my action
[5230.3s] to re, I can use the eye bite on pretty much anybody.
[5235.3s] So I need
[5238.3s] Lipsinki.
[5239.1s] Go ahead and also give me a wisdom saving throw.
[5246.8s] That is a 22.
[5250.1s] Also, I have advantage on wisdom saving throws
[5253.1s] against magic, which I assume
[5254.6s] your gross floating eyeballs call is.
[5259.0s] Yeah, pretty much.
[5260.9s] No, you're good to go.
[5261.7s] You start to maybe feel a little sleepy,
[5265.3s] but then you shake it off.
[5268.7s] And let's see, do I have anything else I should do?
[5271.6s] Oh my God.
[5274.4s] So no, I am going to,
[5278.5s] I'm gonna move, use my movement
[5280.2s] and start moving towards Lipsinki.
[5283.6s] And that's all in my turn there.
[5285.9s] Is he still two people or one person
[5288.2s] because we've hit him and we know where he is.
[5291.2s] I think I still have one up.
[5293.3s] Yeah.
[5294.7s] So you still, you have a better chance
[5296.9s] of hitting him once it gets down to that,
[5299.5s] but it still maintains.
[5301.6s] Right.
[5302.7s] Okay, so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to,
[5309.3s] well, I guess I'm gonna Eldritch Blast them again,
[5312.0s] because that's my best option.
[5314.3s] Go for it.
[5315.1s] So I made a mistake before,
[5316.9s] so I'm really glad that only one out of my four hit you
[5320.0s] because it should only be three.
[5321.7s] I misread.
[5323.3s] Okay.
[5324.1s] I misread my character sheet and I saw level 17 here,
[5326.7s] but we're only level 16.
[5329.6s] So it's only three.
[5331.5s] And it's at disadvantage.
[5333.8s] Yes.
[5335.8s] Well, that's disappointing.
[5337.3s] Okay, that's 18.
[5339.5s] 18 meets.
[5340.6s] Okay, good.
[5341.9s] Yay for plus nothing.
[5342.7s] But it hits my last buddy and poof, goes that buddy.
[5346.7s] Nice.
[5347.5s] All right, well, the last two is coming right at you.
[5350.1s] Is it at disadvantage still?
[5352.1s] Yes, it is.
[5353.0s] Okay.
[5355.0s] How about 17?
[5357.1s] 17 does not hit.
[5358.6s] Okay.
[5360.9s] Fuck off.
[5361.7s] Nothing hits.
[5363.1s] And I just give you two big burns.
[5364.9s] You got rid of the guy.
[5365.7s] You got rid of one of the mirror images.
[5367.3s] Yeah, so now it's just down to him.
[5369.3s] The skeletons are now moving away from Thea
[5371.7s] and towards Flint.
[5373.8s] Oh.
[5375.5s] I was gonna say, can I move?
[5377.5s] I've been in the same corner huddled.
[5379.9s] You can, you did just, your movement was the two birds
[5382.3s] you threw up all the way back.
[5383.1s] That is not my movement.
[5384.2s] I can totally fly the birds as well
[5386.7s] as move towards my buddies.
[5388.3s] Who's closest to me?
[5389.9s] But I didn't say that they moved until after your turn.
[5393.5s] I just keep forgetting I can use my legs and walk.
[5395.9s] You can.
[5397.1s] You're on the other side of the room
[5398.7s] from everybody else though.
[5400.0s] Okay.
[5401.6s] So Flint, you've got 10 skeletons coming towards you.
[5405.1s] Okay.
[5406.0s] They're gonna start flailing and swinging.
[5412.8s] And four of them will hit you with 18 or above.
[5418.6s] Six, 10, 12, 18 bludgeoning damage
[5421.6s] as the skeletons are now swarmed you.
[5424.9s] Okay.
[5425.7s] Lipsinki, it's your turn.
[5427.1s] Skeletons are swarming.
[5428.4s] Flint, Varnaux is moving towards you.
[5433.6s] The energy is pulling against you now.
[5436.9s] I'm gonna get you to make a strength saving throw.
[5442.1s] Okay.
[5444.9s] That is an 18.
[5447.1s] You feel it pulling against you
[5448.7s] like it's trying to suck you into the portal itself,
[5452.0s] but you hold your ground.
[5453.8s] Okay.
[5455.0s] I am going to
[5459.1s] Maybe this is the thing.
[5462.6s] Can I, I'm going to cast
[5468.3s] alter self and I'm going to make myself look
[5471.8s] just like Varnaux.
[5475.1s] So his creatures won't attack me anymore
[5477.3s] cause they'll think that I'm him.
[5480.7s] Okay.
[5481.6s] Great.
[5482.4s] That's what I do.
[5483.3s] Yeah.
[5486.4s] I do it too.
[5487.4s] Now there's three Varnaux.
[5489.0s] Now we all look like Varnaux.
[5492.6s] Okay.
[5493.6s] See a double.
[5494.5s] Six Varnauxes.
[5495.8s] Oh my gosh.
[5497.3s] It's back.
[5498.3s] I mean, it doesn't really give
[5499.5s] Facial hair, everything.
[5500.9s] Yeah.
[5501.7s] I mean, it doesn't really give me any advantage
[5502.7s] other than that, but.
[5504.4s] Okay.
[5505.2s] So yeah, that happens.
[5506.5s] You, yeah.
[5508.2s] You just look like him.
[5509.0s] Yeah, you look like him.
[5510.6s] Ocklarth who I accidentally forgot their turn
[5513.8s] off the top gives a double take
[5516.4s] and everything is now confused.
[5520.4s] Flint, it is your turn.
[5521.5s] You have 10 skeletons and a Novrath on you.
[5526.0s] Lots of buddies.
[5527.1s] Lots of buddies to play with.
[5527.9s] Yeah, I got so many buddies.
[5531.7s] All right.
[5533.8s] What to do with this?
[5536.2s] Kill them.
[5537.0s] Kill them all.
[5537.9s] Swing.
[5539.5s] Yeah, I guess I'll swing away
[5540.7s] with my moist tongue long sword
[5543.0s] that I have equipped into my hands
[5546.7s] and have shouted out the word moist.
[5547.9s] Moist.
[5548.7s] I guess that has to happen.
[5550.0s] I'm sure you'll lick them.
[5551.2s] That's right.
[5552.0s] Lick them good.
[5553.0s] All right.
[5554.8s] Yeah.
[5555.6s] I'm sure that joke's been made.
[5556.5s] I guess I'll just start like hacking away here.
[5561.9s] 24.
[5563.0s] Yep.
[5563.8s] For the first one.
[5564.7s] I mean, these things literally don't have
[5566.5s] the basic human armor of skin.
[5569.1s] No, they're just skeletons.
[5569.9s] So.
[5570.7s] All right.
[5571.9s] Yeah, so that is 13 damage on the first one.
[5575.3s] One of them dusts and blows up in front of you.
[5579.1s] Okay.
[5580.6s] I'll attack a second one.
[5582.6s] That is a 24.
[5587.1s] Also will hit.
[5589.7s] And that is 12 damage on that one.
[5593.7s] You cut into it and it falls to the ground
[5597.3s] and is like holding onto your foot,
[5599.3s] but it doesn't have legs anymore.
[5601.7s] Okay.
[5603.0s] And I'll take my dwarven thrower
[5604.7s] and I'll throw it at the Vorunax
[5606.9s] that I know to be Vorunax.
[5609.9s] Because I saw where he was.
[5613.5s] They've swap seat.
[5615.1s] Oh no.
[5615.9s] First one's a 25.
[5616.8s] You put them under two big cups.
[5617.6s] Still with disadvantage, I'm assuming?
[5619.3s] Yeah, still with disadvantage.
[5620.3s] Okay.
[5621.2s] Second one.
[5622.2s] Well, actually the 25 was the worst of the two, so.
[5625.1s] Nice.
[5626.6s] Not too shabby.
[5628.1s] And that'll be 14 damage.
[5631.3s] Okay.
[5632.2s] And I guess I'll keep trying to like
[5633.3s] push skeletons off me to wrap up my turn.
[5635.9s] Oh, I should roll my wisdom save.
[5637.6s] Yep.
[5638.7s] Hey.
[5640.5s] Oh God.
[5641.9s] I don't know where the dice went.
[5643.0s] Hang on.
[5644.4s] Not good enough.
[5646.5s] Fair enough.
[5647.4s] This dice is just not good enough.
[5649.4s] Novrith goes and swings at you.
[5651.7s] First action is 26 flint.
[5654.7s] Second one's an eight.
[5656.0s] You're gonna take eight slashing damage.
[5659.8s] I will take five of it.
[5660.9s] And then Varnax, you are up.
[5663.9s] I am going, now that I've moved up to Lipsynche,
[5667.1s] I'm gonna say, it's quite a flattering form you've taken.
[5671.1s] Perhaps it is, I can only get away with one this time.
[5674.1s] And I'm going to attempt and grapple.
[5677.1s] Yes.
[5678.8s] Very, very, hitting myself.
[5681.0s] That was sensual.
[5682.4s] About time.
[5683.4s] Right?
[5685.5s] Grapple.
[5686.4s] Yeah, I'm going to attempt a grapple.
[5687.8s] Is that just like a strength contest?
[5691.5s] Yeah, yeah, straight, straight.
[5695.5s] Okay.
[5696.3s] Against all odds, my tiny gnome has rolled a 19.
[5701.3s] You're not tiny anymore, though.
[5702.8s] Oh, that's true, but yeah, okay.
[5704.9s] Oh yeah.
[5705.9s] So, do y'all do, who would win at it as a 19 versus 19?
[5710.4s] Of course we'd tie, we're the same man right now.
[5713.6s] Right? Exactly.
[5715.0s] Maybe it's, they've got each other
[5716.8s] and they're just locked in this.
[5719.3s] It's like a cobra and a mongoose.
[5721.5s] Or, yeah, yeah, roll again
[5724.5s] because you have the same modifier, so.
[5726.5s] We'll see who gets tired first.
[5728.7s] Okay. Roll for tired.
[5733.2s] 14.
[5734.3s] It's a 15 this time.
[5735.4s] No.
[5736.3s] Ah! So close.
[5738.6s] So close.
[5740.8s] Now that I've got lip-synchy grappled,
[5743.3s] I am going to use whatever movement I have
[5746.3s] to move us towards the portal and jump in.
[5748.9s] And as I do, I say,
[5752.1s] if you've lost something in this world,
[5753.8s] Orcus can provide it back to you.
[5756.8s] Follow his path and you'll find everything
[5759.2s] that you've been looking for.
[5760.8s] Maybe even companions you've lost.
[5764.7s] Who knows what's on the other side,
[5766.2s] but we're about to find out.
[5768.5s] And I drop back into the portal with lip-synchy.
[5773.4s] The two of them fall backwards into the portal
[5778.6s] and get sucked in.
[5780.1s] And in an explosion of energy,
[5782.2s] it shoots up and echoes through the room
[5786.1s] and sucks back in.
[5787.3s] The skeletons get sucked in by the force behind them.
[5789.9s] Both of you make a strength saving throw.
[5793.9s] Ones. Ones.
[5795.6s] Not 20.
[5797.2s] Okay. Fuck.
[5798.0s] Oh, wow.
[5799.0s] 13.
[5799.9s] Still at disadvantage because you're sickened.
[5801.8s] Oh, all right.
[5804.9s] Well, I don't know if I'd be there.
[5805.8s] 13 was better.
[5807.8s] Or was worse than what was rolled.
[5809.9s] Flint, because of the amount of skeletons around you,
[5813.9s] you get sucked down and kind of skid along the ground
[5816.5s] as they get sucked behind you
[5818.5s] and explode in dust and debris.
[5822.0s] You hear from down the hall,
[5823.6s] the groaning zombies amassing
[5827.1s] as the walls echo with this explosion.
[5831.0s] And you look down in the middle of the room
[5833.6s] and you see lip-synchy's bracer
[5836.3s] sitting where the portal shut.
[5849.9s] We flash to lip-synchy and Vorunax
[5852.7s] jumping backwards through the open portal.
[5856.0s] The two are seen falling through darkness.
[5859.5s] The sound of a crying wind whipping past them
[5863.5s] before we see lip-synchy crashing to the ground,
[5866.7s] hitting hard.
[5869.8s] The sound of bones crunching echoes out into the stale air.
[5875.8s] Lying motionless, what do you do?
[5880.8s] Why did you?
[5883.0s] I can't, can I even move?
[5885.2s] Am I like?
[5886.6s] Yeah, after a moment of catching your breath,
[5890.6s] you are able to move.
[5892.5s] Then I guess I will stand up and look around
[5895.9s] and see if I can see what I can see.
[5900.6s] As the moment passes, you give yourself just a feel over.
[5905.2s] The sound of the breaking bones wasn't yourself.
[5909.1s] It was the ground around you.
[5911.7s] You put your hands down to lift yourself up
[5914.6s] and look around where you are
[5915.9s] and you see that the ground is littered
[5918.4s] with skeletal remains.
[5922.5s] You look out beyond and you strain to see,
[5926.1s] even being able to see in darkness as you can.
[5930.0s] You hear strong, slow footsteps
[5932.8s] coming closer from behind you.
[5935.3s] As you hear Vorunax say,
[5937.5s] Welcome to the promised land, Miss Pip Diggins.
[5940.3s] This is Thanatos, the home of our demon prince
[5944.2s] and lord of the undead, Orcus.
[5947.8s] Why did you bring me to this cursed place?
[5950.8s] He gives a low chuckle as you look out
[5954.7s] and your eyes begin to focus a little more
[5957.9s] and you see your surroundings a little more clearly.
[5960.9s] There's rolling hills in front of you.
[5964.3s] You see the silhouette of Vorunax
[5967.0s] and the sound of moans and hisses and cries
[5971.5s] rush over the rolling hills,
[5973.5s] the rubble, the bones and barren rock.
[5976.2s] And as they hit you and surround you,
[5979.2s] you begin to feel dread flow through your being.
[5984.3s] You look out over, spinning and reeling
[5987.4s] and you see a sea filled with not water,
[5990.9s] but a roiling, churning ocean of black-red blood.
[5997.1s] The stench of copper, death and decay hits you,
[6000.6s] causing you to gag on the air you breathe
[6002.9s] as you feel your own life beginning to leave your body.
[6007.7s] You hear Vorunax chuckle again
[6010.7s] as you gasp for air and fall to your knees
[6013.7s] and he says, not yet.
[6017.2s] Suddenly, a snap rings out and all goes silent.
[6023.7s] You find yourself in a new room.
[6026.7s] You gasp for air.
[6029.7s] Stale as it is, you feel it's no longer killing you.
[6037.2s] Vorunax speaks from the far side of this new space.
[6041.4s] You look up and you see him standing illuminated
[6043.7s] by a red light through a door and he says,
[6046.7s] there are some beings with special abilities
[6049.1s] that the demon prince is taken an interest in.
[6051.7s] You, you are one of those beings.
[6055.2s] Your time will come, but for now, Miss Pip Diggins,
[6057.9s] I encourage you to make yourself at home.
[6060.9s] And the door closes behind him
[6063.1s] as you hear footsteps walking away.
[6067.3s] What do you do?
[6070.5s] Is it genuinely just like a room,
[6075.9s] like a cell or what am I in?
[6078.7s] As you begin to focus more, you feel around
[6081.8s] and the ground doesn't feel like ground.
[6085.6s] It has a soft, almost flesh feel to it.
[6090.7s] And as you make your way around the room
[6093.9s] that you feel you are in,
[6095.7s] you run into jagged bars that surround you
[6100.1s] and you find that you are in fact in a cell.
[6105.0s] Make a wisdom saving throw.
[6108.9s] Fuck, 11.
[6111.5s] I have a plus six, still did not, didn't do good.
[6114.9s] Okay, I would also like you
[6117.1s] to roll percentile dice, please.
[6120.1s] Okey-dokey, 39.
[6125.0s] The wisdom saving throw was for overcoming madness.
[6129.7s] You take a level of orcas madness.
[6134.8s] Lipsinki Pip Diggins is compelled
[6137.2s] to make the weak suffer.
[6142.2s] So as this madness washes over,
[6144.3s] you describe to me as best you can
[6147.4s] how Lipsinki is feeling and dealing with this.
[6152.1s] I almost wonder if she wouldn't sort of almost split.
[6156.7s] Like this is already a person who is used to dealing
[6162.2s] with creatures sort of speaking in her head from beyond
[6165.5s] and I think maybe this level of grossness and trauma
[6171.8s] split so she has, now there's a new evil Lipsinki.
[6177.5s] But the nice one's still inside there
[6180.0s] but she's compartmentalized these two, these two people.
[6186.7s] As you sit and this washes over you,
[6192.1s] you focus a little more on the room around you
[6197.3s] and beyond the cell and you hear a soft mumbled voice
[6201.3s] coming from another part of this jail
[6205.3s] for lack of a better term.
[6207.7s] It's tough to tell which direction
[6211.0s] as any noise you feel kind of echoes
[6213.1s] and bounces off the walls around you
[6215.2s] and it's very disorienting.
[6217.6s] What do you do or say?
[6222.9s] Hello?
[6224.6s] Is there somebody there?
[6226.3s] Can I hear you?
[6227.9s] Am I?
[6230.2s] And I'm kind of like touching my head
[6232.2s] cause I'm not even sure if I'm hearing it externally
[6236.1s] or if it's someone internal or what I'm hearing.
[6241.3s] As you do that you hear the voice become more clear
[6245.7s] and the room begins to focus
[6247.6s] as your eyes acclimatize to it
[6250.5s] and you see a figure a distance away
[6255.0s] glowing a soft gray blue
[6259.0s] and the voice becomes clearer.
[6260.9s] You hear them whispering to themselves
[6264.0s] as the figure rocks back and forth
[6267.6s] a soft oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
[6277.1s] is heard.

[6344.8s] Hey, stop slurping your a-hole.
[6350.5s] And with that.
[6351.3s] Sorry, those words came out of my mouth.
[6353.5s] You wake up the next day.
[6355.6s] You're missing your, you're missing your kidneys.
[6358.0s] It's been a long time.
[6359.3s] Nice bath.
[6360.1s] I knew it.
[6362.5s] There you go creating another fable.
[6364.1s] That's all D&D is.
[6365.5s] You wanted to.

[6370.0s] Yeah, I do.
[6372.1s] Some say it's weird,
[6373.3s] but I have a thing for things.
[6376.2s] Don't look at my screen.
[6377.6s] Don't look at my screen.
[6378.8s] Don't, don't you look at my screen.
[6381.1s] Don't you do it.
[6382.2s] Don't look at mine.
[6383.4s] God.
[6384.3s] I didn't see it in the glasses.
[6385.1s] The thing for things?
[6385.9s] All the secrets.
[6387.4s] A man holding a...
[6391.9s] Crossbow.
[6392.7s] Crossbow.
[6394.0s] Thank you.
[6395.6s] Pew, pew, pew, pew.
[6396.5s] An arrow gun.
[6397.3s] An arrow gun.
[6400.8s] It's my turn, I assume, right?
[6402.1s] No.
[6403.4s] Yes.
[6405.8s] The zombies come back, oh no.
[6408.3s] That was really rude of you
[6410.3s] because I thought for sure Carla was gonna kill him
[6412.6s] and I was gonna be like,
[6413.5s] well, it's just gonna be like,
[6414.3s] flip the anNularaaa all over again
[6417.1s] and I'm not gonna get to play.
[6419.6s] Why is everything here so disgusting?
[6421.8s] I guess cause I'm in hell.
[6422.9s] Cause you're,
[6423.7s] but it's really gross.
[6425.2s] You're not in hell, you're in the abyss.
[6426.1s] I'm in the 113th layer of the abyss.
[6428.1s] Yeah, which is worse than hell.
[6430.1s] Well, it is cause everything is gross.
[6432.9s] It's blood lakes and fleshy, soft...
[6437.0s] Yeah.
[6438.3s] Yeah.
[6439.1s] Cells.
[6440.0s] Yeah.
