[0.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[4.0s] This is not good.
[6.0s] We thought this was the last stronghold. What does this mean?
[11.0s] Got any magic in you? Bahamut, how you doing here, buddy?
[14.0s] In an instant, the spiraling energy, as if drawn from the center of the group, pulls quickly in, and the group is gone.
[23.0s] I thought you might not come back, but you're back!
[27.0s] And Flint's still out, and she's shaking.
[30.0s] They don't let them out from the sounds of it, correct?
[32.0s] No.
[33.0s] I mean, that was what we were led to believe.
[35.0s] Well, they take them out, but only to exterminate or destroy them.
[42.0s] We have another party out trying to recover a relic of supposed teleportation.
[49.0s] If we have a god who can harness that power, there's no stopping us from being able to move through not only space, but maybe time.
[59.0s] If it was in fact Vorunax and Lipsinki that you saw, they will be on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary.
[66.0s] Well, they did see us disappear in a giant flash of magic, so...
[70.0s] And appear in one.
[71.0s] Well, then it might not be long before they are able to find us.
[77.0s] Debris is thrown, and people scream as they are struck by heavy stone.
[83.0s] It comes back to you in a flash of a memory, back to a greenery-filled cave.
[89.0s] With Flint and Nularaaaa at your side, as an adult green dragon emerges from the watery cave and roars before you.
[98.0s] Staring through at you is an undead cooth.
[103.0s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[108.0s] I'm your dungeon master, Russ More. He-him. Also with me today is Tom Laird.
[113.0s] He-him, and I'm playing Telgir, Heavyfoot, a mountain dwarf pAlydin. Who also goes by He-him.
[119.0s] And Carla Maxted.
[121.0s] She-her. I'm playing Yen Bolnuri, a Kalishtar cleric. Also She-her.
[126.0s] And Amy More.
[128.0s] Yeah, She-her, and I'm playing Thea Amastasia, a high elf druid. Also She-her.
[134.0s] Well, it's lovely to have you all here with me, even though I sprung a dragon on you.
[139.0s] Is it, Russ?
[140.0s] Is it? Is it?
[141.0s] I was like, hey...
[142.0s] Do you actually hate us?
[143.0s] No, why would I hate you?
[145.0s] I love you all.
[147.0s] That's why I ask myself all the time, why would Russ hate us?
[150.0s] What did we do?
[151.0s] We've been friends for so long.
[152.0s] Why is he doing this to us?
[153.0s] Yeah, I know.
[154.0s] Why is there an undead dragon trying to kill us all?
[156.0s] It's the darkest timeline. If there wasn't an undead dragon trying to kill you, what are we even doing here?
[161.0s] Is everything okay in our marriage? Are you projecting something?
[168.0s] Because we can talk about it. You don't need to put it in the game.
[171.0s] This episode is just working through Russ's deep-seated issues with each and every one of you.
[176.0s] I mean, honestly, I might prefer that to dying by dragon.
[180.0s] Again?
[181.0s] Again?
[183.0s] That's true. This is not Carla's first rodeo with a dragon.
[186.0s] I figure, you know, if you can separate yourself from the character, I'll just for a minute put yourself in it.
[191.0s] Yenbul hasn't even seen a dragon.
[193.0s] It's true.
[194.0s] Maybe. I don't know, Yenbul's past.
[196.0s] I feel like it's true. She's traveled.
[198.0s] She probably has seen one, but...
[200.0s] I mean, you see Donnie.
[201.0s] I don't know that she's fought one.
[202.0s] A dragon.
[203.0s] Basically.
[205.0s] He's going to get some turns.
[207.0s] I can't, yeah.
[209.0s] Nope. I'm going to go save the kids. All right.
[212.0s] Do you remember in the preamble to the last episode where Russ was like,
[216.0s] hey, guys, we might do this differently if we like get into combat the whole time.
[223.0s] He's sitting there with a fucking undead dragon in his back pocket.
[226.0s] I can't wait to popcorn this thing.
[228.0s] When do I drop it?
[229.0s] It's got to be good.
[230.0s] When do I? No, I knew it was going to come at the end.
[233.0s] Of course. That's the hook.
[234.0s] Yeah, that's the hook.
[235.0s] For the next episode.
[236.0s] It kept you coming back for more over here,
[238.0s] and where we keep you coming back for more is in our other show over on
[241.0s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast,
[243.0s] where we play just fun goofs and guffaws.
[246.0s] Tom tries to make it serious sometimes, but then we're like,
[248.0s] yeah, but what about the downtown office and bees?
[251.0s] I mean, usually I just roll with whatever shenanigans you guys want to get up to.
[254.0s] Yeah, that's true.
[255.0s] Yeah, we have a lot of fun.
[257.0s] It's mostly derailment, not a lot of railroading.
[260.0s] I feel like Tom's just like that best babysitter.
[263.0s] You know the one.
[264.0s] Yes.
[265.0s] The one that lets you do whatever is like really awesome,
[269.0s] very forgiving and just really willing to go with it.
[272.0s] Yeah, that's why you keep being like,
[273.0s] oh, bring that one back.
[275.0s] Bring that babysitter back.
[276.0s] Bring Tom back.
[277.0s] I want to see Tom.
[278.0s] No, it's not Tom's time yet.
[280.0s] We have to drop an undead dragon on you.
[283.0s] Who's that?
[284.0s] It's Batman.
[285.0s] What?
[286.0s] We have to drop an undead dragon on you.
[288.0s] Look, don't look at the face.
[290.0s] You have to drop an undead dragon on you.
[292.0s] Batman have a little bit of a stroke?
[294.0s] If you're doing Batman wrong,
[295.0s] it's just the top half of the face.
[297.0s] Right.
[298.0s] All right.
[299.0s] I'm Batman.
[300.0s] Oh, God.
[302.0s] Where I was going with that is you also get an episode,
[305.0s] the episode dedicated to you when you're a patron.
[307.0s] You get an episode dedicated to you?
[309.0s] Yep.
[310.0s] All right.
[311.0s] Mocha Mocamo.
[313.0s] Mocha Mocamo?
[314.0s] Oh, wow.
[315.0s] That's right.
[316.0s] This is your episode, Mocha.
[318.0s] I'm loving it.
[319.0s] Thank you, Mocha.
[320.0s] Very funny.
[321.0s] Thank you.
[322.0s] Let's hope it's not the one where we die.
[323.0s] That's right.
[324.0s] You don't want that one dedicated to you.
[325.0s] Look, this is episode 98.
[326.0s] I can't kill you on 98.
[327.0s] I got to kill you on 100.
[329.0s] Really?
[330.0s] Well, let's make a note of that, guys.
[332.0s] We'll forget.
[333.0s] I make a lot of notes that I never once look at again.
[336.0s] I never make any notes because I caught on
[338.0s] that I'll never look at them again.
[340.0s] Yeah.
[341.0s] Well, that's how we're here.
[342.0s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[344.0s] Fuck it.
[345.0s] Let's play.
[346.0s] You said that by me not taking notes,
[348.0s] now we're fighting an undead dragon.
[350.0s] Now we're in the darkest timeline.
[352.0s] We know it's Slyosin's bad filing skills that got us here.
[355.0s] Don't try to put this off on me.
[357.0s] That was a downtime thing.
[359.0s] This was in episode.
[360.0s] It counts more.
[362.0s] Okay.
[363.0s] Boom.
[364.0s] Crash.
[365.0s] The sound of my heart.
[366.0s] The beat goes on and on and on and on.
[369.0s] Boom.
[370.0s] Crash.
[371.0s] Is Fifi Dobson Canadian?
[372.0s] Yeah.
[373.0s] Yes.
[374.0s] Nice.
[375.0s] We did it.
[376.0s] A little Canadian music for you.
[378.0s] Although.
[379.0s] Although.
[380.0s] I thought that was a different artist that sang that song.
[382.0s] Yeah, I think it is.
[383.0s] Oh, is it?
[384.0s] Sorry.
[385.0s] It's Charlie XCX.
[386.0s] Yeah.
[387.0s] And I think that person is British.
[390.0s] I believe so.
[391.0s] Well, we said boom crash.
[392.0s] Yeah.
[393.0s] I always thought it was boom crash.
[394.0s] I've been singing it wrong this whole time.
[396.0s] Definite boom clap.
[397.0s] Yeah.
[398.0s] It's a definite boom clap.
[399.0s] So.
[400.0s] Definite boom clap.
[401.0s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[404.0s] And there's your episode recap.
[414.0s] Yeah.
[415.0s] That's it.
[416.0s] I mean, there was a lot of heartfelt stuff too, but mostly there's a dragon staring
[419.0s] down.
[420.0s] Leosen is standing beside you.
[421.8s] We have to get everybody to the vessel now.
[423.4s] Can you hold them long enough that we can get moving?
[427.0s] Yeah.
[428.0s] Yeah.
[429.0s] We got it.
[430.0s] Do we leave a note or something for the crew coming back?
[431.4s] Do they know where to go?
[432.4s] Shit.
[433.4s] Yes.
[434.4s] We'll leave them a message.
[437.0s] It will trigger when they come back and it will tell them where we went.
[442.4s] And hopefully they have what we need and can meet us there.
[446.2s] Okay.
[447.2s] Get out of here.
[448.2s] We got this.
[449.2s] He follows behind a group who are madly trying to move Flint and Grancis and Bahamut
[455.1s] from the next room and get them down the hallway.
[458.6s] She is pushing past, you know, doing that, wading through a crowd going in the opposite
[465.6s] direction as you to get to the front by a toll gear.
[470.6s] And I'm hoping there's more than one exit from these tunnels.
[474.8s] I mean, it is the sewers.
[476.5s] So you would think so.
[478.3s] Everybody appears to be running in the very opposite direction.
[481.7s] So more where you are or were, we didn't specify exactly where you were.
[486.4s] Kind of alluded to the fact that you might have come up front, but you could still be
[489.8s] back with the kids if you want to be.
[491.4s] But yeah, there is an exit further to the back that has been unobstructed as of this
[497.7s] moment anyways.
[498.7s] Yeah, I think that Yen Bull will maybe spend a moment kind of like making sure,
[504.6s] you know, putting on tiny backpacks and just making, getting everybody out.
[508.2s] Tying some shoes.
[509.2s] Cutting the crusts off sandwiches extra fast.
[512.3s] Exactly.
[513.3s] And then she will go towards the danger, which she doesn't even know what it is yet.
[519.2s] Like it's the, what I picture is like the panicked, like single shot, like moving
[523.7s] through this extended zone, like from the dragon where Tullgeir and Thier are pushing
[529.5s] towards and Leosen running away following him, moving down, seeing all of these people
[533.7s] like picking up stretchers with their wounded and carrying them to the back and everybody
[539.1s] kind of swarming and funneling down in as we see Yen Bull at the back, who we then follow
[544.8s] back towards this dragon.
[548.2s] Roll for initiative.
[549.2s] Seven.
[550.2s] Eighteen.
[551.2s] Twenty-seven.
[552.2s] Wowzer.
[553.2s] Good.
[554.2s] Isn't that twenty?
[556.2s] Okay.
[557.2s] So in initiative, do you guys want Flamikins with you or do you want her to go back
[562.6s] to the vessel?
[564.6s] Well, she is the captain of the vessel, right?
[568.0s] So, yeah, I mean, I'd like to have her because she can do some cool shit, but
[573.7s] realistically, she should probably be leading the escape party if she's the only
[578.5s] one that can do it.
[579.4s] Okay.
[580.4s] Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
[582.1s] Change of rules.
[583.1s] We're going to try what's called Popcorn Initiative.
[585.3s] This is we've got like cool music underneath this.
[587.6s] All right. Everybody's dancing.
[588.4s] Everybody's grooving. It's a great time in Popcorn Initiative.
[591.3s] You've hit the start menu and you've gone to the help section.
[594.1s] And now Russ is telling you all about this new initiative.
[596.2s] That's right. We found it because Michael Howey in one of the discords was like,
[599.6s] hey, have you heard about this?
[600.6s] I was like, no, but it sounds pretty cool.
[602.1s] So we're going to try it.
[603.3s] So we roll initiative as per usual.
[605.6s] But the highest goes first.
[608.0s] That's normal so far.
[609.5s] Following me?
[610.4s] Still the same.
[611.6s] After that, that person gets to pick who goes next.
[615.0s] It doesn't matter who rolled best next.
[618.1s] So there can be some strategy involved.
[620.3s] You can front load and try and get as much damage in as possible,
[623.9s] but know that if the group of bad guys grows,
[626.6s] that they're going to also get a big deluge of damage down at the bottom.
[630.7s] So you can talk in character and try and find out who's got what, you know,
[635.5s] set people up for cool things.
[637.4s] If you want to set up like, you know,
[639.3s] it's just a ramp that you can, you know,
[641.0s] build a ramp that somebody can run off of and do something cool.
[643.8s] You can set that up now.
[645.1s] Look at this Popcorn Initiative thing.
[648.1s] If we find a rule that we've messed up because of this,
[650.2s] we'll cut back in with one of these cool help menu things.
[652.6s] OK, back to the episode.
[656.4s] Russ, so it's just the undead dragon.
[659.6s] There's nothing else with it.
[662.0s] All you see right now is a big cooth head sticking into this.
[666.2s] So that's all you see right now.
[668.0s] But it's like, yeah, like this massive dragon is like obstructing
[671.8s] basically the entire view of what could be beyond it,
[675.5s] which you know to be sewer from your recent memories.
[678.2s] OK, and it seems like it's focused on us,
[682.0s] like it's not looking to go after the people who are running away.
[685.1s] Yeah, it's a pretty is a pretty like bottlenecked venue that you're in.
[689.6s] So in order to get to anybody else, it would have to get past you.
[693.0s] So it is staring you down.
[694.8s] All right. Well, that will that will affect what I'm going to do here
[698.5s] with my turn, which is I'm going to run forward
[704.0s] and attack the fucking dead dragon head.
[706.9s] All right. With my battleaxe, here we go.
[711.0s] First one is a 22 to hit.
[713.6s] OK, 22 hits.
[715.8s] Second one will be a 19 to hit 19 also hits.
[720.2s] Oh, all right.
[720.9s] I was not expecting the 19 to hit to be perfectly honest with you.
[725.4s] Oh, that's a max damage.
[726.7s] That's 17.
[728.5s] Second one was not max damage.
[731.0s] So that's a nine to go with that 17.
[733.6s] So 26 slashing 26 slashing does that a magical or non magical weapon?
[739.7s] Did we decide it is a plus three weapon?
[742.2s] So it is magic.
[743.6s] Twenty six magical slashing damage. Love it.
[747.3s] And I do believe the dragon would respond to that immediately and go next.
[751.0s] OK, it's going to use its frightful presence.
[756.8s] So each creature of the dragon's choice within
[760.1s] 120 feet of the dragon must.
[762.4s] So basically all of you and everybody beyond it
[765.5s] must succeed on a DC 16 wisdom saving throw or become frightened for one minute.
[771.2s] Everyone's got good whiz bonuses.
[772.6s] I fucking do.
[774.5s] I have to shit the bed real hard to mess this up.
[778.5s] Watch me. Yep.
[780.6s] There it is. Yep.
[782.6s] No, I fucking roll a three.
[784.6s] I got an 11 bonus on wisdom, an 11, y'all.
[789.0s] I'm going to use a lucky point because
[791.9s] I mean, I mean, if you don't use it now, when?
[794.5s] Yeah, I can't spend the rest of this turn being frightened from this fucking thing.
[799.8s] I'm going to go save the kids.
[801.0s] OK, that's that's better.
[802.3s] That's better. Twenty eight.
[804.6s] Hey, 28. Sorry, Yenbul.
[808.4s] Twenty six in tall gear.
[811.4s] Twenty one. All right.
[812.4s] And that's everybody.
[813.3s] So you're all unafraid and you are immune to the dragon's frightful
[817.6s] presence for the next 24 hours.
[820.4s] Excellent.
[821.7s] But it's also going to make three attacks.
[825.3s] That sounds more like a dragon.
[827.4s] How I picture it is, is its claws are trapped.
[829.9s] So it can't actually use its claws.
[831.4s] So I'm going to use a
[833.7s] a bite until it can like break more stone and get in.
[838.4s] So that's going to be a 27 to hit 13
[842.6s] plus six is 19 plus 19 piercing damage.
[850.2s] Is that all of us?
[851.9s] No, just on tall gear.
[854.2s] Perfect. Plus seven poison damage.
[858.4s] All right. I'm resistant to poison damage.
[860.7s] So I will take. That's a lie.
[862.1s] I forgot it's undead.
[864.4s] All of that is necrotic.
[865.7s] OK, 24 necrotic damage.
[868.6s] That's all the dragon can do right now.
[870.9s] Oh, also, Russ, I'm amused to be immune to being frightened
[874.7s] and amused by it because you think you're pretty scary.
[879.9s] With the face of your frightening.
[881.9s] Did I not pee my pants? I laugh at you.
[883.8s] That's right. OK.
[885.1s] Thea is going to cast
[888.7s] fairy fire on this bitch.
[892.2s] So they're dex safe.
[894.7s] 13. No.
[897.3s] So any attack role against the affected creature has advantage
[902.4s] and it can't be invisible.
[904.7s] So Thea puts her hands out and
[908.6s] a purple glow emits from it and surrounds the dragon.
[914.3s] Yenball, get him. Get him.
[916.1s] I'm going to. I'm going to watch me.
[920.2s] Watch me.
[921.2s] Yenball is going to approach the dragon.
[925.2s] I'm picturing it like its feet are in, but like
[929.7s] like kind of like pulling like its head is over.
[932.0s] Yes. Yeah, OK.
[934.3s] I need to touch the dragon to do this.
[937.4s] But I'm going to.
[938.8s] I'm going to cast inflict wounds at ninth level.
[943.6s] All right. So let's see how that goes.
[947.5s] Wounds. Is there any save on that one?
[949.7s] Or that's a no, it's an attack.
[951.9s] It's just a melee attack.
[954.6s] Plus nine should be easy math because it's almost like plus 10.
[959.6s] So it's 24. 24 will hit.
[962.6s] Great. Because I hate you.
[965.1s] Wait, you can rule again and maybe get in.
[968.1s] Maybe get a nat 20.
[969.9s] Oh, yeah, you get advantage because of fairy fire.
[972.4s] OK. I mean, you might as well.
[974.5s] Maybe you'll get to double up that awesome.
[976.8s] I know that was worse.
[978.4s] OK, cool. Never mind.
[979.6s] But thank you. That was a 16.
[982.2s] That is going to be 11 D 10.
[987.0s] No way. At ninth level, hey.
[989.8s] Burn those spell slots, baby.
[991.4s] If you're not going to burn them fighting a dragon,
[993.4s] when you're going to burn them.
[994.4s] Yeah. Undead dragon. Let's do it.
[996.2s] Eighty five. Yeah.
[997.7s] When I just saw that pop up on my screen, I was like, oh, my God.
[1002.7s] OK. So what what does 85
[1006.9s] inflicting wounds damage look like on a dragon that's already falling apart?
[1013.2s] Yeah, that's a good point.
[1014.6s] So I touch it as distantly as I can
[1019.3s] and sort of close my eyes and concentrate.
[1021.9s] And you do see just more deterioration
[1026.8s] and just like bits are coming off
[1029.9s] because this thing is already not doing great.
[1033.6s] So those aforementioned black rotten guts
[1037.6s] maybe are probably starting to fall out.
[1040.6s] Skin is falling off like he's just getting more skeletal.
[1047.2s] Like, that's a that's a huge hit.
[1049.4s] And now undead things, they don't feel pain, but
[1053.0s] causes this dragon to recoil and like pulls its neck
[1057.2s] and head back out and up street level.
[1060.7s] And you hear its wings flap and like smack the ground
[1064.6s] and it lifts up into the air.
[1066.7s] And as you watch it go, you see no.
[1069.9s] You hear coming in behind it first.
[1074.2s] This like droning humming sound
[1079.2s] and then this stench hits you.
[1083.3s] As you see this huge,
[1087.6s] like as the same size of the dragon before you, like prying its way,
[1092.0s] a zombie made of more zombies.
[1095.0s] Gross, gross.
[1096.5s] So it's like a rat king, but it's a zombie zombie.
[1099.8s] Exactly. OK, it's a zombie in the book.
[1103.8s] It's called a zombie clot.
[1105.6s] That's disgusting. Gross.
[1107.8s] That is horrible.
[1108.6s] That's a bad word and a bad thing.
[1112.0s] But it has entered combat.
[1115.5s] Yen Bull, it because it came in kind of at the end,
[1119.2s] it's not in the original initiative.
[1120.7s] So you could choose to go again first or you can pick something or someone else.
[1125.0s] But it has come in like it is right there.
[1127.9s] I feel like it would go next.
[1129.3s] Like they were like, ha ha.
[1131.7s] They like, I mean, I don't want that to happen,
[1134.4s] but they're going to go sometime.
[1135.7s] And if you've just landed, your dragon's flown off or like lifted up a little.
[1142.1s] Seems like a good time.
[1143.3s] This thing just propels itself smoothly,
[1147.6s] like unnaturally smoothly down this sewer.
[1151.3s] And you see like bodies and parts
[1154.6s] writhing amongst this this figure that's coming towards you.
[1159.4s] And as it gets within 10 feet of you,
[1161.8s] Yen Bull, this deathly stench washes over you.
[1165.3s] Make a constitution.
[1166.6s] Actually, and Tulgear would be that close to because you were in melee as well.
[1171.1s] Make a constitution saving throw.
[1173.8s] Is this disease by chance?
[1175.6s] It's poison.
[1176.8s] Oh, well, I'm resistant to that.
[1178.9s] I get advantage and I need it.
[1182.7s] You say constitution?
[1184.7s] Twenty four.
[1186.0s] Fourteen.
[1188.0s] So you don't take anything.
[1189.0s] You're not immune to this effect,
[1191.8s] which would be poison damage, but also something else.
[1194.8s] So but you're not immune to it.
[1196.6s] But it could happen again.
[1198.0s] The arm, I guess you could say, that comes close to you recoils
[1202.7s] and outshoots this mound of rotted flesh towards you.
[1208.3s] Yen Bull, make a strength saving throw.
[1212.5s] DC 16, please.
[1215.0s] As this detached clump.
[1217.7s] Thirteen lands on top of you,
[1221.2s] and you're going to take 3D 10 bludgeoning damage
[1226.0s] and become entombed.
[1229.3s] In dead flesh.
[1233.5s] Luckily, I rolled poorly, so that's 12 bludgeoning damage.
[1237.4s] But a creature entombed in dead flesh is restrained,
[1240.4s] has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the dead flesh
[1244.3s] and takes 3D 6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns.
[1248.7s] The creature can be freed from the dead flesh
[1250.7s] if the dead flesh is destroyed.
[1252.0s] It has an AC and hit points.
[1253.8s] Yeah, so it's on top of you.
[1255.4s] Every Telgear and Thea, you see this dead flesh fly off
[1259.2s] and like just engulf around Yen Bull, who's now underneath it.
[1263.8s] It's going to choose Kuth to go next.
[1266.4s] I thought he flew away.
[1267.8s] Yeah, he's still in combat.
[1269.6s] You look and you see him.
[1270.9s] He lifted himself up in the air
[1274.0s] and you feel like the the propulsion of his wings
[1277.5s] as he soars past and you hear him land further down
[1282.8s] on the street.
[1285.0s] And he's going to hit with his tail onto the ground.
[1291.6s] Hit the ground, the ground just is.
[1293.6s] The ground doesn't have like a base AC of 12.
[1295.8s] No, funny.
[1298.4s] No, the tail.
[1299.4s] Every time I fall on the ground, do I deal damage to the ground?
[1302.5s] Yeah, as a matter of fact, you do.
[1303.7s] That's why there's so many potholes in Edmonton.
[1305.4s] People just fall on the ground.
[1308.0s] You hear the tail hit the ground and then with a second whack,
[1311.5s] it comes through and debris falls down into the refuge
[1316.3s] further down where everybody was trying to flee.
[1319.5s] They had made it past this point.
[1321.4s] I'm going to choose Yen Bull.
[1322.5s] You're going to go next.
[1323.4s] OK, so what can I do? I can't do anything.
[1325.8s] You're going to take.
[1326.2s] Well, first you're going to take three D six necrotic damage.
[1329.5s] Just trying to kill you, Carla.
[1331.1s] I was going to say, can Yen Bull delay
[1332.7s] and I can try to get her out of that tomb of flesh?
[1336.2s] Yeah, I haven't had a turn in forever.
[1340.6s] We're trying out this popcorn thing,
[1341.8s] so you're going to take 14 damage of the take that as a no.
[1348.4s] Well, it's at the start of the turn,
[1350.1s] so regardless of what you choose to do,
[1353.8s] that happens, you can.
[1357.3s] You're entombed.
[1358.3s] So you're restrained, but if my spell is touch, it's touching me.
[1363.2s] Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
[1366.3s] The creatures attack rolls have disadvantage,
[1367.9s] so you can use attack rolls.
[1369.2s] They have disadvantage.
[1370.7s] But if you're using something without an attack, then you can.
[1374.5s] It's touching you. Yeah.
[1376.3s] OK, but it's touching me.
[1378.5s] So you're touching it, which means I'm touching it.
[1382.6s] It's stuck in the room with me. Exactly.
[1387.1s] OK, then I am going to cast inflict wounds again,
[1391.8s] because most of mine are saves.
[1393.3s] It's one of my only things that is an attack.
[1397.6s] So that is 21.
[1401.5s] Twenty one definitely hits. Yep.
[1403.2s] Forty five damage.
[1405.7s] Yikes. The flesh explodes off of you and out into the room.
[1409.2s] It's charred hit.
[1411.6s] Yeah, it's gone. You're good. You're free.
[1413.4s] I just didn't want to be trapped in gross flesh.
[1415.9s] Let's get Thea in the mix.
[1417.5s] Thea is going to turn toward this pile of zombie monster.
[1423.0s] Put her hands out and you see a silvery beam of pale light
[1427.9s] shining down from the sky.
[1430.2s] This place is burst open, yes?
[1432.3s] No, never mind. I'm just kidding.
[1434.2s] I just remembered where I am and what I'm doing.
[1438.3s] Fuck you.
[1441.2s] And the horse you rode in.
[1442.6s] All right, darkest time of night.
[1444.0s] Right. The moon. Fuck everything.
[1446.4s] Fuck the moon.
[1447.3s] Whatever. The moon is stupid.
[1450.4s] The purple light of the not moon.
[1452.8s] That's right. No, no, no, no, no.
[1454.6s] Tendrils shoot off of it in this lovely.
[1457.7s] She's still going to put her put her hands out.
[1459.5s] But at this point, a hail of rock hard ice
[1462.9s] pounds to the ground in a 20 foot radius.
[1465.7s] And I make it specifically on this zombie clot.
[1469.2s] And they must make a dexterity saving throw.
[1472.0s] Fourteen. Not good enough.
[1474.6s] So the creature takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage
[1478.4s] and 4d6 colds damage.
[1483.0s] Out of curiosity, does your spell also make the ground
[1486.2s] difficult terrain? Let's see.
[1488.0s] Hail stones turn the storms area of effect
[1490.7s] into difficult terrain until the end of your next turn.
[1494.0s] I'm just going to roll them all at the same time.
[1496.0s] Keeping that one. That one's eight.
[1497.8s] Twenty seven.
[1500.3s] I guess that doesn't do you need the difference between the two?
[1503.4s] Is that going to make a really big difference?
[1505.2s] No, it's fine. All right.
[1506.6s] Twenty seven. And yes, the area is now difficult terrain.
[1511.4s] And I shout over at tall gear and I say, careful slippery.
[1516.0s] If it's slippery for him, it might be time for us to go.
[1520.1s] Dare dare we don't go play with me.
[1527.4s] But isn't our way blocked because.
[1529.7s] Yeah, you've got a dragon on one side
[1531.6s] and a zombie monster on the other.
[1534.3s] And the oh, the way is blocking it.
[1535.7s] I think we're going to have to kill one of them is caved in from the dragon.
[1539.2s] Yeah. So the tail crashed in.
[1541.6s] So debris fell in.
[1543.0s] You could get through, but there is a dragon right above that hole
[1547.2s] who is currently still affected by fairy fire.
[1549.4s] And therefore I would have advantage against him.
[1551.4s] You betcha. I'm going to go for the dragon. All right.
[1554.1s] Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle?
[1565.5s] I was wondering when we were going to get around in this one.
[1567.9s] Right, because there are so many songs with the middle in it.
[1570.5s] Like, is next time going to be some Jimmy World?
[1573.2s] I hope so. Maybe. Maybe. I was thinking about it.
[1576.3s] I was like, oh, God, we need to like do something more with this middle
[1580.0s] because I'm just running out of like spinning my tires on notes.
[1583.2s] So and now Marin Morris and rhymes.
[1587.0s] Yeah. Yeah. Well, we did. We we met you in the middle.
[1590.2s] We're here. We're here.
[1591.6s] We didn't talk about what we were going to talk about prior to.
[1595.6s] No, that's just making me losing my mind just a little.
[1599.6s] But what we have going on over on Patreon is a special
[1603.1s] new and upgrading patrons.
[1604.6s] When you sign up for an annual membership, you get two months free.
[1608.7s] Two months free. What?
[1610.7s] That's one month more than I thought it was.
[1612.7s] That's how exactly double the thought that Amy had.
[1618.0s] Whatever Amy thought, double it, double that.
[1620.6s] Generally speaking, it's probably a safe bet.
[1623.5s] When people support us on Patreon, not what do they get,
[1626.1s] but how do they help us? Oh, man.
[1630.4s] They fill our hearts with glee.
[1634.0s] Sorry. I froze for a moment.
[1639.1s] I know I'm remembering things.
[1641.0s] You're doing great. Back to you, Carly.
[1642.4s] Oh, I was just saying they fill our hearts with glee.
[1645.8s] So they got me a new microphone.
[1648.0s] I got Tom, a new microphone and my old laptop.
[1651.7s] Ain't going to last forever.
[1652.5s] And honestly, guys, a lot of boring shit.
[1654.6s] That's really important, though.
[1655.8s] Like sure, hosting and and paying for websites.
[1659.6s] Yeah, like all this stuff.
[1661.0s] Our art commission.
[1662.8s] That's less boring, but yes, that's fine.
[1665.0s] But sound effects libraries
[1666.8s] that Russ can use to make our shit sound way better.
[1669.4s] All of that.
[1670.0s] Also, wonderful connection and community over on our Discord.
[1673.8s] I mean, that also that's for us and our community.
[1677.6s] Absolutely. So there's lots of amazing things
[1680.8s] that help not only Dumbgeons and Dragons,
[1682.9s] but our other shows, Facing Fate, DM to GM in part
[1686.3s] and any other shows we decide to come up with between now and 2022.
[1689.8s] Who knows what will happen?
[1691.4s] There'll be a business meeting in there somewhere in a second.
[1693.9s] We've gone out of hand.
[1695.7s] This is totally fine.
[1697.1s] Spinoffs every time.
[1699.8s] I just only a little bit.
[1702.6s] But in the meantime, Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[1705.4s] You'll be the first to find out before Tom, Amy and Carla.
[1708.7s] Probably what new is coming.
[1710.8s] Yeah, tracks, even if they've been told that you're
[1713.2s] probably the first because they forget.
[1715.3s] We would love to have you over there.
[1716.9s] And if we not if we we would love to hit one hundred
[1720.8s] patrons by the time we hit a hundred episodes.
[1723.3s] But we don't we don't have to hold it to us.
[1725.1s] That would just be really cool.
[1726.4s] But what happens when we do hit one hundred patrons?
[1729.1s] Oh, my goodness.
[1730.0s] We get to release the Flaming Kins Grants this episode.
[1733.9s] Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
[1736.0s] Yeah, motherfuckers.
[1737.2s] We've been talking about this so goddamn long.
[1739.0s] I hope the hype holds up.
[1741.7s] Well, you know, it's it's Tom, Carla and I run in that game.
[1745.7s] Just running you into the ground into the abyss ground.
[1750.4s] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[1751.8s] So, you know, help us get there.
[1753.8s] We really want the world to experience that.
[1756.1s] Yeah. How many things can they throw at us?
[1758.0s] But also make him talk to himself because the NPCs go silent.
[1762.5s] Well, I mean, that's that's most.
[1764.6s] You put yourself in that fire.
[1765.9s] I'm just I did. I did.
[1767.4s] Hey, it was one of those, hey, what ifs?
[1769.2s] And it happened.
[1770.3s] But now we want to release it to you because that would be super awesome.
[1773.6s] Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[1775.6s] Love you. Bye.
[1777.3s] What was that?
[1779.2s] Baby, it's our new audio signature.
[1783.5s] I thought now there's the bloopers.
[1785.6s] The dumb dragon's production.
[1788.9s] I mean, it's just like that kid from from the middle.
[1793.3s] Yeah. The one who whispers things.
[1795.6s] How thematic. That's right.
[1798.1s] Bringing it all together.
[1799.2s] OK, bye, everybody. Bye.
[1805.7s] Do this. Is he within reach?
[1807.6s] Yeah. For fun's sake, we'll say he's in reach.
[1810.8s] I love fun. Yeah.
[1813.5s] All right. First attack is not great.
[1817.6s] So all advantage on that bad boy.
[1819.5s] There we go. That's better.
[1820.5s] Twenty eight. Yes, sir.
[1823.4s] Second attack is pretty fucking good.
[1827.6s] Second attack was a 31.
[1829.9s] Hey, yes. OK, here we go.
[1834.3s] Time to hit that tail a few times.
[1836.2s] Fifteen slashing damage and 17.
[1840.9s] So 32 all said and done.
[1843.6s] Got ahead of myself was going to say 27.
[1845.5s] I was like, no, it was a 10.
[1847.0s] It was a 10 plus seven, not a 20 plus seven.
[1850.0s] OK, it's going to take a legendary action
[1854.6s] and attack you with its tail.
[1858.2s] It's a 26 to hit. Oh, yeah.
[1862.2s] Fifteen bludgeoning.
[1863.4s] OK, well, after I guess it's back to me again.
[1869.9s] You you would have been last in order.
[1872.7s] It took a legendary action, which is outside of that.
[1875.7s] But you you could choose you again or you can call to somebody else.
[1879.4s] All right. I'm going to choose me again.
[1881.4s] But then I'm going to tee up Thea to take two actions next.
[1886.2s] And I'll do it.
[1887.4s] I will just keep hacking away at this undead dragon.
[1890.8s] OK, 26.
[1893.0s] But I'll roll again in case I crit.
[1894.6s] New second one is 21.
[1898.8s] So 26 and 21.
[1900.6s] Both of those ahead.
[1901.2s] And I'm going to hit it with branding smite
[1905.8s] at a fifth level.
[1909.0s] OK, so next time I had a creature with weapon
[1912.1s] attack before this spell ends, the weapon glimpsed with astral radiance
[1915.6s] as I strike.
[1919.2s] Attack deals an extra.
[1921.2s] Let's see here.
[1922.0s] It'll be five d six because I'm casting at fifth level.
[1926.2s] OK, and that's radiant damage to it.
[1929.0s] So here goes damage.
[1931.5s] And I'll get all the d six as I can to hopefully do it in one roll.
[1936.2s] And I'm assuming it will only hit on one of the attacks that I have.
[1940.3s] I think so. I think it's a triggered on a single attack.
[1942.8s] OK, normal damage was a 14 on the hit
[1949.8s] and then radiant damage wise, 23 radiant damage.
[1954.4s] And then on the second hit, 16 damage.
[1958.9s] Sweet. All right.
[1960.6s] And I throw like the two finger salute up for Thea to be like.
[1966.2s] Two times, two times, two times.
[1969.3s] A couple of things happen during during these attacks.
[1972.0s] So every time you're.
[1975.2s] Well, I mean, the damage you're dealing into this dragon
[1978.2s] is causing huge chunks of flesh to fall off, like ooze
[1982.8s] pouring out beneath you, creating difficult terrain beneath your feet.
[1986.9s] Perfect.
[1987.9s] Another thing that you notice
[1991.7s] and more probably more specifically, you told here is every time a spell is
[1996.4s] cast, like this wisp of white aura
[2001.8s] is drawn towards you and passed towards the spellcaster.
[2006.5s] I mean, I know it's not a thing to like be using magic willy nilly,
[2010.0s] but like we got a fucking problem.
[2011.6s] I get it. I'm just telling you what you see.
[2014.3s] Yeah, I can't be scimitaring an undead dragon.
[2017.7s] Yeah, not going to cut it with my one.
[2019.7s] Literally, it's just not going to cut it.
[2022.2s] Yeah, it's just not. Yeah.
[2024.8s] We cut to the main group who's running away.
[2028.4s] We cut to Leosan and we see
[2031.2s] Bahamut, who has this white aura about him.
[2035.2s] We see Grancis and Flint and we focus more on Flint
[2040.1s] and we hear fast footsteps
[2043.6s] are racing through a very busy street.
[2046.6s] The sound of heavy armor accompanies them.
[2051.6s] And we hear Flint scream out Drenkor.
[2055.1s] I know it's you. I will catch you.
[2057.8s] No, you can't catch me.
[2058.8s] You still wear all that hot, hot armor.
[2060.5s] OK, bye.
[2061.8s] And he takes a rip down a corner just as you are trying to catch up to him.
[2065.7s] You turn and you see him
[2067.9s] just as he connects with Leon and Glory Gems arm
[2071.7s] and his clothesline, like spun around this small for
[2076.8s] dwarfs are normally stout, very hefty individuals.
[2081.8s] Timus Drenkor is not that he's more halfling built
[2086.9s] still a dwarf, long shaggy beard that gets wrapped around
[2090.5s] further around Leon and Glory Gems arm and is like
[2094.5s] almost pulled back and then thrown to the ground.
[2099.1s] So you're getting slow there, Firebeard.
[2102.8s] OK, first off, the the captain of the city guard uniform here
[2108.8s] doesn't exactly make for easy, breezy running times,
[2112.1s] but I got to say, full credit, I was a hell of a clothesline.
[2115.4s] It helps when he's looking behind him, not to see the arm come out.
[2120.2s] Right. The best part is, is that, yeah, he was looking back at me
[2124.1s] and he turned back just as that arm came out.
[2128.5s] So I bet you can see the whites of his eyes pretty good
[2131.4s] when he was surprised by that one.
[2132.6s] You know what, let's check the replay and we hear like a quick rewind
[2136.1s] sound fire up and it's just right before Drenkor hits Leonan's arm.
[2141.8s] You see his eyes just slowly because it's now in slow motion.
[2146.0s] We've gone bullet time look and the panic sets in as this armored
[2150.9s] behemoth of a forearm jumped is shoved out in front of him.
[2156.1s] His jaw like crunches in and the skin pushes back.
[2160.7s] And the beard, which had been like blowing in the wind,
[2163.9s] is now forward and wrapping around as he's spinning around this arm.
[2169.6s] And it's going back and forth and back and forth
[2172.0s] right before he slams into the ground.
[2175.6s] So you want me to take him back to the to the precinct, or you?
[2178.9s] We can go together. Sure.
[2180.4s] It'd be a nice chance to have a little chat as we so we drag him off for
[2184.9s] yet another stay in the old hotel.
[2187.3s] Leonan kind of leans down and Timus is he's groaning.
[2192.0s] Oh, there's got to be brutality there somewhere,
[2196.4s] but we're not going to touch that because that seems a little too on the nose.
[2201.3s] Handcuffs him and picks him up and brushes him off and says,
[2204.5s] you're going to be all right.
[2205.4s] Yeah, we'll get you. We'll get you fixed up.
[2207.0s] So how's Captain Life treating you as you begin to walk off
[2209.6s] towards the precinct?
[2211.5s] You know, it's a lot more work than I thought it would be.
[2214.2s] But I got to say, pretty rewarding in the long run.
[2217.8s] Yeah, yeah.
[2219.2s] I mean, while you saw the city guard before I rose up to be captain,
[2222.4s] it was a bit of shame.
[2224.7s] Yeah, it was it was in shambles.
[2226.4s] To be perfectly honest with you.
[2227.8s] Well, you're doing a good job.
[2229.0s] I appreciate the
[2231.4s] not that there was any preferential treatment.
[2233.3s] I appreciate the moving through the ranks on on your old pal
[2236.7s] glory gem side, too, you know.
[2239.3s] Oh, I mean, you earned it, but
[2242.6s] there's nothing fishy.
[2244.1s] You beat everybody out.
[2245.9s] Come up and be lieutenant.
[2247.1s] Yeah, I beat everybody out, including me.
[2249.9s] I don't remember you applying time is you know what I'm talking about.
[2253.0s] Look, my teeth are never going to be the same.
[2255.2s] Oh, you'll be all right.
[2257.3s] Kind of gives him a shove forward as you move up the steps
[2261.1s] into the precinct.
[2263.9s] Well, I'll fill out the paperwork here if you want to take them down.
[2267.1s] I know it's been a while since you've been down there.
[2269.0s] It's two lefts and a right.
[2271.1s] I mean, it hasn't been that long.
[2273.6s] I got it.
[2274.2s] Two lefts and a right, of course.
[2276.0s] You take drink hard down the steps, follow back down,
[2279.3s] leading towards the cells of this precinct as as glory.
[2282.1s] Jim moves over to the main desk and and books them.
[2285.0s] All right, Timus, what do you want cell three, cell four,
[2288.1s] your favorite and cell five?
[2289.5s] What what what what what what what what you feel into?
[2292.8s] Well, I mean, the the the air in five is very nice.
[2297.0s] Like there's this little draft that comes down from from outside the mountain.
[2301.4s] And it makes you feel like you're you're outside,
[2304.9s] living the free, the free breeze, living on the free breeze.
[2310.3s] I mean, yeah, that's if that's what you want.
[2313.4s] I'm a pretty I'm a pretty easygoing guy.
[2315.7s] I'll hook you up with number five.
[2317.0s] Oh, I won't forget this.
[2319.2s] I won't forget this fire beard.
[2320.8s] I mean, I think you probably will.
[2322.3s] That's OK. Yeah.
[2323.3s] Well, until the next time, I won't forget this.
[2326.1s] You you treat me right.
[2327.6s] Not like that glory, Jim.
[2329.1s] He's all hands.
[2330.2s] Well, I mean, in your defense, you were looking the wrong way.
[2333.6s] You could have seen him coming if you had your if if you had your head
[2337.0s] swiveled around. Well, I guess I got to get my head on a swivel.
[2346.2s] You enter the jail cell area, door swings open,
[2349.7s] big heavy door swings open.
[2351.5s] There are eight cells in here
[2353.8s] and you begin moving towards cell five.
[2356.3s] And out of the corner of your eye, you see in cell three
[2360.3s] what looks like a dragonborn
[2363.4s] seated on a stump in the middle of this lush rainforest.
[2372.7s] You look to it because it's something that shouldn't be there.
[2376.7s] And as you look, it's gone.
[2378.5s] There there is a dragonborn there.
[2380.6s] Looks like he's had a few too many.
[2382.6s] And he's kind of just leaned up against the bars.
[2385.7s] Hey, hey, Thomas, did you see that?
[2388.8s] I see what in cell three that drunkard?
[2393.1s] Yeah, I saw him last night.
[2396.2s] Maybe he's just sleeping it off.
[2397.6s] You saw him last night.
[2398.5s] Oh, no, I was referring.
[2399.9s] Well, OK, it's going to sound really weird.
[2403.3s] I swear there was a jungle in there a minute ago, a jungle
[2406.7s] under the mountain.
[2408.3s] You've lost. Yeah, that's that's the thing.
[2410.6s] I don't I don't know what to tell you, but
[2412.8s] guess guess my eyes are playing tricks on me.
[2414.9s] Desk life has got you soft air fire beard.
[2417.7s] All right. You want me to tuck me in or are you going to do it?
[2420.2s] I mean, you know the drill by now.
[2421.4s] I'll open the door. You can do the rest.
[2422.9s] All right. Nighty night, sweet prince.
[2425.7s] Good night, Thomas.
[2426.4s] We'll see you again real soon, I'm sure you walk back out
[2430.2s] and you take another glance at the dragonborn who's passed out.
[2436.8s] You hang there for a moment.
[2439.8s] And then carry on back upstairs
[2441.6s] to make sure that the paperwork is all filled out and camera pans back down.
[2446.4s] And we begin to see that jungle forming before our eyes
[2450.7s] and a vision.
[2452.0s] And the camera begins moving quickly.
[2454.3s] And the sound of footsteps are crunching through this leaves.
[2458.7s] And we see the back of this dragonborn who's got his
[2461.6s] he's looking quickly over his shoulder.
[2463.9s] This dragonborn is running through the jungle.
[2467.3s] It's hot. It's muggy.
[2470.5s] And he's being chased.
[2472.7s] What's his next move?
[2474.6s] Oh, God.
[2477.0s] He kind of stops and he's trying to catch his breath quickly before he moves.
[2481.2s] He's looking around for any sign of where he is.
[2484.1s] He's gotten lost like the path below him is is no longer a path.
[2489.4s] It's just so overgrown.
[2491.2s] And he he he pulls his bow and arrow and he notches one
[2494.9s] just in case something sneaks up on him.
[2496.9s] And he looks up and there's just like a crack through the canopy
[2501.4s] where he sees a little bit of movement and recognizes
[2505.8s] like a carving in part of the tree, which you see just a quick glimpse
[2512.1s] reminds him of where he is and he books off towards the west.
[2517.3s] He continues running through the jungle.
[2520.4s] And as he's going, he's been hearing
[2524.7s] the sound of leaves getting pushed out of the way
[2528.4s] and branches breaking behind him and to the side of them and above them.
[2532.6s] And and he knows he needs to keep moving.
[2536.6s] And he comes to a fork in the road.
[2538.2s] There's there's a path that splits off to the left
[2540.5s] and a path that splits off to the right.
[2543.6s] And he hears the noise behind him getting a little bit louder.
[2547.9s] He doesn't hesitate.
[2549.4s] He knows that this this path leads to the right,
[2554.1s] leads back to his camp, he heads to the right.
[2557.1s] As he makes a break to the right, he feels
[2562.2s] a like an amount of wind kind of go past his
[2567.8s] the right side of his face and the kind of back of his neck.
[2571.8s] And just out of the corner of his eye, he sees this like
[2575.6s] demonic looking monkey.
[2579.9s] Flying just past him,
[2584.0s] coming out of the bush to his right, fucking Wongo.
[2587.4s] Fuck found me.
[2589.2s] He loses an arrow towards it and Wongo lets out a cry.
[2593.2s] And you're not sure if if you hit him with the arrow
[2596.9s] or if he is just offended that you shot at him
[2601.1s] or what the deal is, but he lets out this cry.
[2604.7s] And you know that you need to get back to camp.
[2609.5s] Because otherwise, Wongo will get you.
[2613.7s] Fuck. Wongo's not going to get me.
[2615.8s] Not today. Not Bort. Not Bort. Bort's not going to get me.
[2617.9s] I got by Wongo.
[2619.1s] He throws his bow back on his on his back and with
[2624.1s] even more vigor, he pushes through all all of the pain
[2628.4s] that's setting into his muscles and he rushes as fast as he can
[2633.0s] towards his camp.
[2634.8s] You come stumbling out of the jungle, out of breath,
[2637.4s] you land on your hands and knees.
[2640.0s] And you see, well, for a lack of a better term,
[2643.4s] your tour guide in this jungle.
[2646.9s] You see Scyther up ahead and he
[2651.1s] kind of waves you over and says, what, what's what's what's
[2654.7s] what's the problem?
[2655.6s] Wongo, Wongo, Wongo, there's a Wongo coming.
[2657.4s] He's going to get he's going to get us.
[2659.0s] We got to get we got to go.
[2660.4s] Well, OK, is it a Wongo or is it Wongo?
[2664.0s] There's only one.
[2664.8s] There's only one. It's the Wongo.
[2667.4s] Why are we arguing about this?
[2669.2s] Remember what it is about Wongo?
[2671.8s] We've been over this.
[2672.7s] We've been over all nine. Yeah.
[2674.6s] But it's better to be Wongo's friend than his enemy.
[2679.3s] What if what did you do to offend Wongo?
[2683.2s] I mean, there was this there was this altar and there was
[2688.0s] I mean, there was a there was this cup on on it.
[2691.6s] And I was thirsty.
[2693.4s] So there was a spring beside it.
[2694.9s] And as you just kind of took a took a drink from it.
[2699.4s] And then and then heard heard the heard the noise,
[2702.3s] which gave me a start and saw him through the trees.
[2705.6s] And he reaches into his bag and
[2709.6s] pulls out the cup as I I accidentally took the cup.
[2714.7s] OK, and then that's that's going to be a problem.
[2717.2s] And then I maybe winged him with an arrow, maybe.
[2721.1s] OK, yeah, not great.
[2722.8s] And that'd be it, though, that'd be it.
[2726.2s] So I drink the cup to put the cup in the bag.
[2729.8s] And what kind of what kind of treats do you have in your bag?
[2734.2s] What can what can we offer him as a peace offering?
[2736.9s] I mean, this is the most valuable thing I have right now is this cup.
[2740.4s] I mean, I got some just
[2743.0s] basic adventuring gear to stay alive out here.
[2744.9s] OK, tell you what. OK, we're going to put the cup down.
[2750.0s] We're going to leave it here.
[2751.6s] I'm going to put some of these berries in it
[2753.8s] because I don't know if he's going to like them or not,
[2756.1s] but it's a it's a bit of a peace offering from us to him.
[2760.3s] And we are going to back away
[2762.7s] and we're going to head back to the camp.
[2765.2s] And hopefully we're going to leave it there.
[2766.7s] OK, OK. Yeah, he puts the cup down.
[2770.0s] Watches, watches either put the put the berries in
[2772.8s] and they slowly starts backing away further up the further up the path.
[2777.6s] As as the two of them back away, you see
[2782.0s] Wongo burst forth from the jungle that that board had just come out of.
[2788.8s] And he stops and lets out a screech.
[2792.9s] He puts his his his head up to the heavens and he lets out this
[2796.8s] this piercing screech.
[2798.8s] And as he looks back down, he sees the cup on the ground.
[2803.3s] And his his demeanor kind of changes immediately.
[2807.6s] And he kind of walks forward.
[2810.2s] And he brings his tail around from the side
[2813.6s] and he picks up the cup with his tail.
[2817.0s] And he kind of looks towards the two of them.
[2820.3s] He doesn't nod.
[2822.7s] But you know, there's an understanding between the two of you now.
[2828.6s] Don't take his shit.
[2830.8s] And he won't try to kill you.
[2833.4s] So probably shouldn't take his shit anymore.
[2837.5s] I mean, yeah, if you if you find some.
[2839.2s] OK, here's the thing about Chult.
[2841.2s] And I know we've been over this, but if you find random bits of treasure,
[2846.6s] best to not touch it. Right. Right. Yeah. OK.
[2849.8s] Just, you know, we're just going to leave that one.
[2852.2s] And OK, we're going to head back to camp.
[2855.0s] We're going to take it easy from here on in.
[2856.8s] No more pissing off any of the nine.
[2858.8s] No more pissing off any of the nine.
[2860.3s] Hey, what if I pissed off one more of the nine?
[2865.0s] I'm going to I'm going to need some more information,
[2867.4s] and I hope it's not one of the bad ones.
[2872.5s] So Thea is going to Thea does not notice his wispiness.
[2876.6s] Not really. It's kind of coming from behind you.
[2878.5s] Right. So I mean, role role or role perception 20.
[2883.8s] You would notice that there is an aura every time you're casting something
[2888.4s] and every time you like when you saw a Yenbul cast,
[2892.1s] you didn't see Tulgear cast.
[2894.7s] But there is an aura.
[2896.4s] You can't explain necessarily where it's coming from.
[2899.4s] I assume that I would feel that that there is a shift.
[2903.7s] There is something happening when we're casting.
[2906.0s] But again, I feel the exact same way
[2908.9s] when you are face to face with a gross zombie made of zombie monster.
[2914.3s] Yeah. You got to do what you got to do.
[2915.8s] Sure. So I'm going to Eldritch Blast.
[2922.1s] A 19. Yeah. A 12.
[2925.0s] No. Oh, sorry.
[2926.7s] Well, you're fighting the zombie thing, right?
[2928.1s] Yeah. 12 hits. Yeah.
[2929.0s] So I was going to 13.
[2930.3s] Yeah. Damn. I was going off the dragon stuff.
[2933.2s] Fuck yeah, boy.
[2934.4s] OK, that's 3d10.
[2937.2s] That's 18 force damage.
[2940.4s] Force 18 force damage.
[2942.9s] Thea like puts her hand out all cool, like and then like,
[2946.8s] you know, from nowhere, a liquid fire blade forms in her hand.
[2952.0s] And it is long and scary looking.
[2954.8s] You hear from down the hall flame, it can yell,
[2956.7s] you could do that the whole time. Probably.
[2961.1s] And it's blue.
[2962.4s] And and and it really brightens up the place.
[2967.0s] Lots of light comes off of this thing. Yeah.
[2969.4s] And Thea swings at this zombie gross thing.
[2975.6s] Swing. Actually, I think 12.
[2980.4s] No, plus 10, 14, 14 hits, 11 fire damage.
[2984.2s] So Yenbul and the plot,
[2989.8s] the plot, I think the plot would retaliate against my,
[2994.8s] you know, blasting and lighting it on fire.
[2997.5s] Great. We're going to see if it recharges your Romeo D6.
[3001.3s] Yeah, I'd love to.
[3003.4s] So one doesn't recharge,
[3006.0s] but it does get to slam it to actually your.
[3010.1s] Yeah, it's going to try to move past
[3014.5s] Yenbul. It doesn't move past like there are parts of it
[3017.7s] and it's moving around Yenbul.
[3019.8s] So not very far because it's rough terrain.
[3022.8s] So slippery. How far were you back?
[3025.5s] I was very close to it.
[3027.6s] OK, then I moved maybe 30 feet.
[3030.4s] Yeah, you're because my movement also make a constitution saving throw
[3034.6s] then as it comes in to slam attack you and Yenbul.
[3039.2s] I'd prefer that to fail.
[3042.0s] Yeah, 16.
[3043.6s] Yenbul, you save Thea.
[3045.1s] You're going to take nine poison damage and then slam attacks.
[3048.3s] First one on Thea is going to be at 27.
[3051.9s] Second one on Yenbul is going to be at 11.
[3055.3s] 18 bludgeoning damage for Thea and then Yenbul, you are up.
[3060.2s] So the dragon is like at street level, right?
[3062.4s] So we are obviously like we are no longer in the sewer.
[3065.8s] Yeah, or we are in the sewer, but things are.
[3068.0s] Yeah, things are cascading in.
[3070.2s] So you can you could climb up and out.
[3072.5s] You're engaged with this zombie thing happening around you.
[3075.8s] But yes, but I can see the sky.
[3078.0s] Yes, in all of its terrifying glory.
[3080.7s] There's no moon.
[3083.0s] Yeah, it's very dark.
[3084.5s] It's very dark.
[3085.0s] I guess, yeah, the zombie is like on me,
[3087.4s] so it doesn't really make sense for me to attack the dragon.
[3091.2s] So I'd like the zombie
[3094.9s] zomboid. What did you call it?
[3097.2s] Clot. Zombie clot.
[3098.7s] I'd like them to make a dex save.
[3100.8s] 12. Great.
[3102.6s] I'm going to call lightning.
[3105.7s] So a big cloud appears in the sky and lightning is going to zap them up
[3110.7s] real good, and it's going to keep zapping them on subsequent turns
[3115.6s] unless I lose my concentration.
[3117.4s] But for now, they'll take 33
[3122.7s] lightning damage. Yeah, well,
[3124.9s] parts of this thing are falling off and like the flesh is
[3128.4s] you can you can smell the smell so bad.
[3131.6s] It was so bad to begin with, but now it's like burning so bad.
[3136.2s] Bad hair burning smell flesh.
[3139.9s] It's it's so bad, but it takes a huge amount of damage
[3143.4s] and like parts of it are are falling to the ground
[3146.6s] and trying to reach up and claw themselves back towards this main mass.
[3152.0s] What if we get some dragon nonsense out of the way?
[3156.3s] Yeah, you can rest a smile.
[3159.4s] I know I don't like that.
[3160.6s] That's my mark.
[3161.7s] It's always going to be bad.
[3163.0s] At least this way, we can just all all react back.
[3167.4s] So you attack the tail, so it pulls its tail out.
[3171.5s] Tall gear and turns and you see the ma of this dragon open
[3178.4s] and this black cloud vapor
[3183.2s] begin to pour out and fills in a 60 foot cone
[3187.6s] the entire causeway of all of you.
[3192.0s] So please make a constitution saving throw
[3195.8s] and beat an 18 15 25 nine.
[3200.6s] Google is my friend for 16 D6.
[3205.1s] Oh, my God. Jesus Christ.
[3209.2s] Oh, that's not that bad.
[3210.4s] So Yenbul and Thea are going to take 53 necrotic damage.
[3219.0s] From its rotting breath.
[3220.4s] Tall gear, you're going to take half of that.
[3222.6s] So it's that 26. Sounds delightful.
[3226.4s] I guess when I take damage, that stops my concentration, doesn't it?
[3230.0s] You can roll to save against it.
[3232.4s] You have to beat half the amount of damage, I think.
[3235.0s] You'd have to beat a 26 on your con save using your wisdom.
[3238.4s] Can you do that using my con save bonus?
[3242.4s] You would have to do that as well for your fairy fire.
[3245.6s] Impossible.
[3246.6s] And in all honesty, I think that fairy fire is gone.
[3250.6s] I've cast a different spell.
[3252.7s] Oh, OK. So yeah, then it dissipates.
[3255.9s] And yeah, any any lingering spells are gone.
[3262.4s] It roars and shakes the walls.
[3266.1s] As the roar dies down, you hear.
[3270.3s] Quick footsteps up on the street, small, quick footsteps.
[3277.3s] And you hear a blade cut hard into the dragon
[3283.2s] and the head droops for a second
[3286.5s] and then falls down into the cavern.
[3290.0s] And dropping down, carrying a double bladed, glowing sword
[3298.4s] with like flame coming from her nostrils, is this.
[3305.8s] Copper and bronze and gold and platinum dragonborn.
[3313.7s] And gold and platinum dragonborn.
[3318.9s] Who's quickly followed down by a halfling and half-orc.
[3324.3s] Oh, fuck.
