[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons. [2.2s] What do we, do we say that he's with a necromancer as his new friend? [7.0s] No, I don't think. [7.7s] Okay, well what do we say? We need to know who these friends are. [10.5s] Yeah, well, I don't know that we do. [12.7s] He's a grown ass man. [14.2s] It's true. [14.9s] Okay. [15.5s] Moot, Glim and Sully, what brings you to our fair city of Derevar? [21.0s] We are here to help to reunite the kingdoms through the power of communication. [29.2s] My brothers believe that they can only trade with these three territories. [37.4s] If I can just fill, fill in a bit of the blanks here. [39.8s] What you're, what you're saying is, is that they're dumb. [43.4s] Yes. [44.8s] Actually, I just have a quick question. [46.9s] Sure. [47.5s] What's a nightglam? [49.3s] A nightgarm. [50.4s] Yes. [50.7s] Nightgarm. [51.2s] That's what I said. [51.8s] How would you describe it, Terry? [53.4s] Uh, well, it's a, um, uh, more of a, I don't know if it's a lichen throat, [57.6s] but it's a, uh, more of a wolf humanoid creature. [62.0s] Oh, hey, hey little buddy. [64.6s] Kind of frozen still. [66.0s] I feel so bad shaking my staff at him now. [71.3s] I look at Terry to see if it's him. [73.6s] Wasn't me. [74.4s] Shaggy, that's why you should name the duck. [76.5s] This hulking bipedal wolf creature explodes out onto the path before you. [88.4s] I'm gonna have to remember that one. [110.2s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons. [111.8s] I'm your dungeon master, Russ More. [113.3s] He, him. [113.8s] Also with me today is Carla Maxted. [116.6s] She, her, playing Glim, a dragonborn pAlydin. [120.6s] And Tom Laird.

[130.8s] She, her, and I play Sullivan Sleight, a lightfoot halfling rogue. [134.6s] He, him. [135.5s] Thanks for coming tonight, everybody. [137.0s] I brought you together here to play a game. [139.8s] What? [140.4s] This game. [141.2s] I was told there'd be pizza. [142.5s] Alright, Jigsaw. [143.5s] That's right. [144.8s] You wanna play a game? [147.0s] Might be a big wolf creature with a hingey jaw. [151.4s] No, I'm into that. [152.1s] I just didn't want to have to saw off a leg or whatever happens. [154.5s] Yeah, no, that's, that's weird. [155.9s] We don't do that here. [156.6s] You almost made it look real painful. [158.6s] We're playing Dumbgeons and Dragons, not facing fate tonight. [161.1s] Okay? [161.7s] Oh, great. [162.6s] Yeah, yeah. [163.4s] Speaking of which, go listen to Facing Fate. [165.0s] We are releasing episodes, maybe, when this comes. [168.0s] No, probably not, actually. [169.5s] But, you know, we have released a lot of episodes. [171.5s] It's like three seasons. [173.2s] Four. [173.5s] And a mini. [174.5s] Some mini stuff. [176.1s] Absolutely.

[201.1s] I really thought he'd be more on the ball. [203.2s] I flipped the page. [204.2s] He has, like, nine books, which doesn't bode well [206.3s] for our characters being alive at the end of this encounter. [209.4s] But I'll let you level up. [211.0s] Last one, like today's patron, Perry Matey. [216.5s] Thanks, Perry. [217.4s] Thanks, Perry. [218.8s] You are awesome. [220.1s] You are awesome. [221.4s] Agreed. [222.2s] I really thought Russ was going to say Perry Mason. [224.4s] Me, too. [224.8s] It was a bit of a fake out. [226.4s] Again, another celebrity. [229.5s] Even a fictional one. [230.6s] Another fictional celebrity. [232.1s] I love it when fictional celebrities. [234.8s] Perry Matey, and I hope I said that right. [237.8s] Thank you for joining us at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast. [241.0s] We hope to see you over there [242.2s] where we have hangouts and cool stuff like that. [245.0s] Now, fuck it, let's play. [249.0s] So we've defeated the monster. [251.1s] We cut to back with Queen Calacriss [255.4s] being heralded for our great success. [258.0s] They're already putting up the stained glass. [261.0s] Yes, and she's so happy with her new dog. [264.8s] So happy. [267.5s] Trees explode out into so close. [270.9s] So close. [271.4s] We almost had them, guys. [272.9s] Look, I did a lot of cut scenes. [274.2s] We cut a lot of cut a lot of the fat in the last one. [276.7s] Now we got to have some battles. [278.6s] Trees explode out into the path before you [281.0s] and you see this hulking wolf like creature [284.2s] that stands 10 feet tall. [286.2s] It's got abs on abs, baby. [289.8s] Shredded like a ninja turtle. [291.4s] Its huge claws look like they could pick you up [295.7s] and crush your skull [297.8s] and its giant maw opens wide, [300.7s] letting out a guttural growl [304.6s] that you smell the stench of death [310.4s] that washes over you. [312.6s] Now we've already rolled initiative. [315.5s] Glim, what do you do? [316.9s] I'm going to rush forward [318.7s] and take a swing with my vorpal sword. [322.9s] All right. [324.1s] Roll to hit. [326.4s] 15. [327.4s] Hits. [328.4s] Great. [329.4s] 15 damage. [331.8s] What type of damage? [333.3s] Slashing damage. [334.6s] Is it magical slashing damage? [336.9s] Oh, it maybe is. [338.6s] Doesn't say it just says no. [341.7s] I don't think it's magical until you find the pair too. [344.8s] Yes. [346.1s] Well, we got to find that second sword. [347.8s] We really do. [349.4s] But for now, just standard slashing damage. [353.5s] All right. [354.2s] You go up and you cut into like the side of this creature [358.0s] and some blood begins to pour out over the fur [360.4s] and it turns and it looks at you [362.3s] with its beady glowing red eyes. [367.0s] Moot, do something cool. [369.0s] Hey Moot, like hit him bad [371.5s] and like really distract him with something. [373.4s] Okay. [374.1s] Yeah, I got a little something for that. [376.4s] I am going to hit it with mind sliver. [379.4s] All right. [380.1s] That sounds annoying. [381.4s] So I drive a spike of psychic energy into the mind [385.0s] of one creature I can see within range, [387.0s] which obviously will be the werewolf dude. [389.9s] He must make a intelligence saving throw [393.8s] or take some psychic damage [395.7s] and is penalized on his next saving throw roll it makes. [399.8s] Well, he rolled a 10 or it rolled a 10. [403.0s] That will not be enough to succeed in dodging this one. [409.1s] So it is going to take six psychic damage. [416.4s] And Russ, if you have to make a saving throw [418.2s] before the end of your next turn at all, [420.2s] you need to subtract 1d4 from it. [424.4s] So with popcorn initiative, [425.8s] instead of the end of the next turn, [427.0s] it'll be the end of the next round. [428.3s] So we'll go through this round [429.6s] but then also carry into the next round [432.0s] because we can move around where everybody goes. [436.2s] And I look towards Sully and I say, now? [439.5s] And he's already booking it as Moot cast his spell. [445.4s] Sully dashes behind him [449.4s] and he's going to attack with both of his daggers from behind [456.6s] doing a sneak attack. [458.2s] Yeah, go for it. Awesome. [459.4s] Okay. [459.8s] Love it. [460.6s] Okay, I'm doing it. [462.2s] Okay, so first I'm going to attack with my daggers. [466.8s] So the first one is a 19 and the second one is a 15. [471.0s] Yeah, both hit. [471.8s] Seven damage for one, 11 damage for the other [477.1s] and then I get an extra 2d6 damage [479.9s] because it is a sneak attack. [482.1s] Damn, Sully can pack some heat now. [485.0s] And that's another four. [486.8s] It flinches under this jab into its side [488.6s] and lets out a howl that echoes through the trees. [492.4s] Like can Sully back up after he's stabbed? [494.9s] Is that a thing? [495.9s] Bonus action, yeah. [497.0s] Disengage. [497.5s] No, no, my bonus action I dashed. [499.5s] Oh, then you can't. [500.6s] Well, can't I use my action in combat to disengage? [503.4s] You used your combat actions to attack. [505.5s] As to attacking. [506.6s] Okay, well then I'm just stuck in the back of him [509.1s] with my two. [510.1s] Okay, hanging on. [511.5s] Hanging on. [512.3s] Actually, how tall is he? [513.5s] I bet I'm just getting, what am I getting? [514.9s] You're just right in the butt. [515.9s] I think you're in the thick of the butt. [517.5s] I want to go size. [518.9s] Or maybe you were airborne [521.0s] and now you're attached to its back. [523.0s] Oh, God, with my face just in the crack of its ass? [527.3s] Oh, Sully. [528.6s] It's just that's, that's, yep. [530.6s] Yep. [531.2s] Yep. [531.7s] You don't need to describe it. [532.7s] We can all imagine it. [534.4s] Terry, a little help. [536.0s] All right, it's Terry's time. [538.7s] Terry pulls out his weapon and yells, [543.3s] if you have silver or radiance, use it. [547.2s] And he's using his leadership command. [551.0s] Any non-hostile creature. [553.0s] So basically all of you, [555.4s] you can add a D4 to your roll. [560.2s] I'm assuming like saving and or attack roll. [562.6s] Attack roll or saving throw. [564.3s] You can roll a D4 [566.2s] and he's going to move in and try to swing in [569.9s] with his sword, which you might now put together [574.2s] has some silver to it. [576.5s] That's a 16 plus 5, 21 to hit. [580.5s] So he's going to strike in for 10 damage. [584.3s] But because it's silvered, it gives him 20 damage. [589.4s] And it cuts deep and like you see the flesh like sizzle [594.0s] or you hear it sizzle as this blade cuts into it [597.0s] and it cut way deeper than anything [599.1s] that you had dealt to it previously. [601.4s] And it reaches down and bats hard at Terry. [606.6s] That's a 24 to hit. [609.4s] Yikes. [610.0s] So that's going to be 15 damage, slashing damage. [614.8s] And Terry is grappled in the nightgarm's claw [618.6s] and he turns and looks at you, glim, [620.8s] and gives you this like defiant look deep into your eyes [624.6s] as he squeezes hard into Terry. [627.9s] Okay, I'm going to attack again with my vorpal sword, [632.0s] but I am also going to give a quick shout out [635.7s] to my main man Bahamut so that I can cast Divine Favor [639.4s] and also get 1d4 radiant damage, you know, [644.6s] if I successfully attack. [646.3s] Sure, as you do. [647.9s] 16, 14 slashing plus 2 radiant damage. [654.8s] And as you take that swing, [656.4s] you hear more movement in the trees around you. [662.0s] You don't see anything, [663.1s] but you hear movement getting closer to your location. [667.0s] Everybody watch your backs. [668.2s] Sully, get off of there. [671.7s] I got it under control, I think. [674.2s] And Sully is going to... [678.2s] Can I sneak attack again? [680.2s] Yeah, you're at its back and it's flanked by two other... [684.6s] Can you stick a dagger right up its taint? [687.4s] Right, just reach under. [690.2s] Well, what I was going to do is... [692.0s] We call that the Sully special. [694.0s] Sully is going to start to like mountain climber, [698.2s] like take one dagger out and put it up [702.4s] as he's like trying to climb up this. [706.5s] So I don't know if that counts as attacking [709.8s] or if that's just the way he's trying to move upward [714.9s] and just so happens to be hurting him. [716.6s] Russ, can you put in the mountain climber yodel music [720.2s] from Price is Right for this? [722.2s] Yes, yes I can. [724.6s] I'm sure they won't have a problem with it. [726.8s] I would still count it as an attack [728.3s] because basically you're riding a bucking bronco [730.7s] at this point who's been being cut into from all sides. [734.2s] So there is a chance that you could miss. [738.2s] Okay, well that was a one on one. [740.8s] But you get your halfling luck bonus. [743.0s] I get my halfling luck. [744.2s] You are at its back though [745.7s] and it can't see you so you do have advantage. [749.3s] Fair enough. [750.4s] So I say use the halfling luck bonus [752.7s] and then also compete between the two for advantage after. [755.9s] Okay, well this one then turned into a 17 plus seven is 24. [762.6s] And then the next one is a 25. [764.9s] Both of those will hit handily. [768.4s] Okay, oh that was a four so it's nine for one. [772.5s] There's another four, another nine. [775.3s] So that's 18 and then 2d6 so the 24 poking damage [781.9s] as I make my way up the back of this wolf being it's slick [789.9s] and the blood is running down my front [792.2s] as I clamor my way up sticking it between ribs as I go. [798.6s] Actually I'm probably only near like hip [800.6s] sticking it into his love handles. [803.0s] He doesn't have those got abs on abs [805.0s] sticking it right into muscle which hurts a lot more. [809.2s] Loved it. [809.7s] Love that whole description. [810.4s] I don't know who to throw it to next. [812.5s] It'll probably be like that's got to hurt. [816.0s] I bet it would be the creature's turn. [818.2s] Okay, two things happen. [819.8s] Everything goes dark but just before that [822.6s] you see people begin to come out of the trees. [827.4s] Six of them and then everything goes dark. [833.0s] Sully you feel the claw reaching for you. [837.3s] It's only 14. [839.1s] Oh doesn't beat. [840.4s] You feel the claw like reaching back [842.2s] trying to grab you off of its back but just missing. [846.5s] You hear Terry in the darkness say [850.3s] that looked like people that went missing [853.4s] and he's going to swing with disadvantage [856.2s] at where he thought the creature was. [860.2s] Dangerous time to be on a creature's back. [862.9s] Oh it's a real dangerous time to be on a creature's back. [868.2s] Terry connects with Sully. [873.0s] I'm going to roll it because that means [874.7s] it could be lower than that. [876.2s] He's seven slashing damage. [879.8s] Oh my god what and I kick and I kick wildly [885.9s] and he and I think I was swinging around as it was [888.7s] so I think he's probably slashes me down my calf. [892.2s] What the fuck is going on down there? [894.4s] Roll a d20. [895.8s] I will. [897.9s] It's a 10. [899.0s] You feel your foot connect with Terry's sword [901.1s] and then you hear it fall to the ground. [903.1s] Moot I saw you do some magic. [907.0s] You think you got anything that can take care of this? [911.0s] What's this? [911.7s] I don't know what you're talking about. [913.2s] Darkness you bitch it's darkness. [915.2s] It's dark it's really dark I can't see anything. [917.4s] Can you see things? [918.6s] Is this not affecting you? [920.5s] That depends where you were standing. [922.2s] Because you were doing a range. [923.4s] Yeah I would be a little bit removed from the [927.0s] the free for all on the fucking werewolf boy. [930.6s] Yeah just the free for all. [932.9s] 15 foot radius so you actually might be outside of it [935.8s] so you would see this orb of darkness kind of as it was cast expend out [944.0s] but you also see all of these people they are people [948.2s] but they're just kind of slowly walking towards the darkness [952.0s] and towards the action before you. [954.7s] Do they look like they have their own free will about them? [957.6s] Make a an insight check. [961.0s] Insight plus two so 18. [963.4s] You get the feeling that they're under a thrall of some sort. [969.5s] You can't tell exactly what their goal is [971.7s] but they are walking towards the creature [973.8s] and towards your friends in the middle of this darkness. [976.6s] Moot takes out his his floppy sun hat [980.0s] and also grabs a handful of moss as he's doing this from his spell component belt [988.9s] and he casts light on the hat. [994.1s] So the object will shed a bright light in a 20 foot radius [997.6s] and then a dim light for an additional 20 feet. [1001.0s] And this light will be as bright white as she can go. [1004.6s] Just crank it up. [1006.0s] Just crank it up and he will like hold the sun hat on his head [1012.3s] and walk a little bit closer to where all y'all are. [1017.0s] Like a fucking god out of the darkness comes moot in a sun hat. [1022.8s] That's right. [1023.3s] So you're wearing the hat walking closer not into the mix [1029.5s] until you can see your friends. [1030.6s] Okay yeah absolutely. [1031.6s] I love that. [1032.2s] A roll of 17 so Moot is fine. [1033.9s] Still good okay. [1035.2s] We also have now these these humans in the mix [1040.7s] and they were added in during this rotation [1043.3s] so they would have to go to finish out this round. [1046.6s] So I guess the humans are up next. [1048.2s] All right they see this light emitted [1054.2s] and two of them turn towards you [1056.2s] and the others move towards the main battle. [1061.8s] The ones moving towards the main battle [1063.6s] are reaching towards all of you. [1066.9s] Glim you feel hands on you that are begin trying to pull you. [1070.1s] They're not not like punching or kicking or anything. [1072.9s] They begin trying to pull you and try to pull you to the ground. [1076.5s] Sully you feel them grabbing your legs trying to pull you down [1080.3s] and Terry you see him with two of them [1082.8s] and then two go into moot. [1084.2s] Everybody make a strength check. [1086.6s] Not even not a saving throw [1087.7s] because there's no real damage being dealt here [1089.6s] but just a strength check against them. [1091.6s] My best one. [1092.6s] Remember that we have that leadership bonus if needed. [1095.9s] What is that? [1097.2s] An extra D4. [1098.2s] Oh that's not going to be enough. [1101.3s] 21. [1103.2s] I'm going to use that leadership bonus [1105.0s] and with the extra three it's a 17. [1107.8s] Even if I max out my leadership bonus [1110.3s] I'd only get an eight [1111.4s] so I'm gonna just hold on to it. [1113.7s] Glim you easily overpower [1115.4s] describe how you overpower this this human like what you do. [1118.4s] I think sort of that movement you just made [1120.3s] they're pulling at my back [1121.4s] and I just am like throwing throwing the bows backwards [1124.6s] and just like get out of here. [1127.0s] Still focused on my friend on the back of this scary creature. [1132.7s] Moot you managed to knock one off [1134.5s] but the other one like gives you a hard shove [1137.5s] and knocks you prone. [1139.3s] How close exactly were you like [1141.0s] to the point where you could just see them or? [1143.6s] No I went so that it was like [1145.9s] at least visible for all of them. [1148.1s] About 15 feet. [1149.1s] Okay then yeah you can still [1150.8s] there's still light amongst the crowd. [1154.7s] Sully you are pulled off. [1157.5s] I would like to wonder if I may. [1161.2s] If I hold on tightly to my daggers [1165.4s] do they pull through the creature [1167.4s] and give damage as I'm ripped off of him? [1169.6s] Sure I'll give you 2d4 plus one modify. [1173.4s] So that's 10. [1174.4s] And Terry's brought down hard. [1176.3s] You hear his plate mail fall [1178.0s] and see him fall because the light's there now. [1180.3s] Sully I think you would go next. [1182.5s] You're pulled off. [1183.7s] Your blades tear through the back of this creature [1185.8s] who takes some additional damage. [1187.7s] You now have a picture. [1190.6s] He pulled you down by the legs [1192.1s] so you're like on your stomach. [1194.7s] I don't think you landed gracefully. [1197.4s] He is going to grab his frightful sword of reflection [1202.6s] and just try to slash at the dudes who pulled him down. [1206.4s] That wasn't great an 11. [1209.8s] No that's not math 10. [1213.8s] 10 hits they are yeah completely unarmored. [1216.2s] Oh poor bastards. [1218.7s] That's seven slashing damage. [1222.1s] Okay. [1223.7s] Oh no piercing. [1225.2s] Seven piercing damage. [1226.1s] Yeah you stab into this person [1228.8s] like they go limp and fall to the ground. [1230.7s] Glimy okay. [1232.3s] Wait no who's who needs to go? [1235.1s] Everybody now we're at the top of a new round. [1236.8s] Oh who needs to go Sully else? [1241.3s] Well I have to pee but you know. [1246.6s] Should have taken my 15. [1249.8s] Terry okay? [1251.8s] Yeah I can handle this so I will [1255.4s] and he kind of reaches back for his blade [1258.2s] which was thrown to the ground [1260.5s] and managed to grab it [1261.6s] and swings into this person [1264.8s] and strikes them hard and sorry [1267.8s] they're a bloody mess [1269.9s] and he stands back up. [1271.0s] I want to light somebody up. [1272.4s] I apparently have one more action [1273.8s] that I haven't been using [1274.9s] so I'm going to do that too. [1276.2s] Terrence. [1277.3s] Sorry it's only a 14. [1280.0s] I'm all flustered I just I'm giving it a haircut. [1282.8s] You light something up. [1284.1s] Now that Sully is not on the back of the creature [1288.2s] I am going to try to burn it with my fire breath [1293.2s] so it needs to make a dex save. [1295.8s] Do bad. [1297.0s] 11. [1298.2s] Great thank you. [1299.4s] You're welcome. [1300.8s] Hey I'm here to play for you. [1301.6s] I didn't realize I just had to say do bad [1303.8s] and then you would. [1305.0s] I was going to say we were one round past [1306.9s] where my spell was still affecting it on the ability rolls. [1311.2s] So that is going to be 11 fire damage. [1315.1s] Like the smell of like wet burnt hair now fills this area. [1319.8s] Moot your hat looks great. [1320.9s] What else can you do? [1322.0s] I don't know I'm on the ground. [1324.1s] Is anything else around me or is it just the one person? [1327.1s] There are two near you. [1329.1s] You kind of nudged one back [1331.2s] and didn't they didn't really overpower you [1332.8s] but the other one managed to push you down. [1334.4s] So there are two in your direct vicinity. [1336.9s] Okay so two within five feet. [1338.5s] Was there one like crouching on the ground behind him [1341.5s] that he got pushed over? [1343.2s] Yes that's why that's why it didn't work. [1345.4s] Franksters. [1346.2s] There's a whole Three Stooges bit in the middle. [1360.8s] Whoa. [1361.3s] Oh your own words that is this the last episode [1364.5s] because we finally actually use Jimmy world the middle [1367.4s] and I feel like where do we go from here? [1370.0s] Where do we go from here? [1372.9s] Not to make light of people having strokes [1374.7s] but Russ were you having a stroke? [1379.4s] Solid question. [1380.1s] I was right beside him wondering the same thing. [1382.5s] No I just. [1383.0s] Did he get the droopy face? [1384.4s] Can he lift his arms above his head? [1386.4s] Yeah he's okay. [1387.0s] It's time to act fast Amy. [1388.3s] He's okay. [1389.8s] I'm doing okay. [1390.6s] Okay. [1390.9s] I'm doing okay. [1391.0s] Two on this Tylenol. [1392.2s] Uh thank you. [1392.8s] I don't know if that's what you did first try. [1394.2s] I think that's a heart attack. [1395.2s] Baby aspirin. [1396.1s] Heart attack yeah. [1396.6s] That's a heart attack all right. [1397.9s] I'm sure it couldn't hurt for a stroke either. [1400.3s] Well hopefully Russ's singing didn't give you a heart attack [1404.3s] because you're here in the middle. [1405.7s] We're here in the middle where we want to talk to you [1408.7s] about a lovely show that we think you love [1412.2s] that we think you will love which is bombarded [1414.7s] which includes one of our best friends Kyle Clasett, [1417.5s] Ali Grant, Spurrier, Goodrich, all those good good folks. [1422.2s] Amy's losing it over there. [1423.9s] I guess it's sort of a dichotomy either you've listened to it [1426.7s] and you do love it or you haven't listened to it [1429.7s] and you will love it. [1431.2s] Everyone on earth falls into one of those two categories. [1433.8s] It's a Venn diagram where everyone ends up [1435.7s] in the middle anyways. [1436.8s] It's a music. [1437.4s] It's the middle. [1438.7s] What? [1440.2s] We found our way back. [1442.1s] It's a musical D&D podcast where three bards try [1448.1s] and save the world you know in their own kind of way [1450.6s] but play live music throughout the podcast [1454.4s] and that part is really just super freaking cool. [1457.7s] Well not just live music either like originally created scores [1464.1s] and lyrics by these wonderfully talented people. [1466.6s] They will roll dice to get their chords which is pretty awesome. [1472.4s] Yeah they got special cord dice that they roll up [1474.6s] and then take a brief break from recording [1477.0s] and then come back and sing that song [1479.3s] and then are judged by Kyle on how well they did [1483.8s] which then determines the outcome of whatever the encounter is. [1488.4s] Just such a fun way to play. [1490.1s] It's so fun. [1491.0s] It seems it feels so high risk to me [1493.3s] but that's because I am not a musician [1495.9s] and it's such a good idea. [1497.9s] Go check out Bombarded. [1499.0s] We've got a link down in the description [1501.0s] where you can click through and find it [1503.4s] or you can just search for bombarded just like that. [1507.2s] Emphasis on the bard. [1508.3s] Big old bard right in the middle there [1510.6s] wherever you listen to podcasts do it [1513.0s] and now it's not over yet. [1515.8s] We want to let you know that we have. [1519.8s] This is like the end of Return of the King [1521.5s] where it's like fade to white. [1522.8s] No we're back fade again. [1525.0s] No we also want to let you know about a super special offer [1527.3s] that we got going on on Patreon.

[1607.0s] I'm gonna like cross my arms in front of me [1610.2s] and then like kind of shoot them back out [1613.4s] and I will cast sword burst [1616.3s] and I create a momentary circle [1618.6s] of spectral blades that sweep around me [1621.0s] and all creatures within five feet [1623.2s] must roll a deck saving throw [1624.8s] or take some damage. [1626.4s] Love it when the spell caster [1628.2s] gets some new spells that we get to hear about. [1630.4s] It's so fun. [1631.7s] We got a six and a five. [1633.7s] I mean neither one of those are great Russ. [1635.4s] Yep I figured. [1636.8s] Really aiming it up. [1637.9s] My do bad held over it goes. [1640.2s] It's a whole round till the end of the round. [1642.7s] It's like leadership. [1643.7s] Now's the time to get it people. [1645.5s] They each take well I guess [1647.4s] should I roll damage separately for them [1649.0s] or just the same one for both? [1650.3s] Same one for both. [1651.4s] Okay well they each take five force damage. [1653.8s] They both fall to the ground [1655.8s] as this is blasted and like I picture it [1658.6s] like blast them back [1659.9s] and they like hit the tree stump [1662.0s] and appear unconscious. [1664.2s] And kind of throw a thumbs up towards Glim [1667.0s] and I guess it's the big bad monster's turn. [1670.6s] It's going to try to bite Glim. [1674.6s] That's a 23. [1676.5s] He does bite with his big scary teeth. [1679.5s] He's got some chompers. [1680.7s] Yep I hope it doesn't make that gulping noise [1684.0s] as he swallows you whole. [1685.8s] You have to fight your way from the inside out. [1688.8s] 25 piercing damage. [1690.7s] Oh my god. [1691.9s] Jesus. [1694.7s] And you have to make a strength saving throw. [1699.0s] Yikes. [1699.5s] Or be eaten alive. [1700.7s] Or be swallowed whole. [1701.8s] Oh my gosh. [1703.9s] Do it Glim. [1705.0s] That's pretty wild because I am big [1707.3s] so he is so big. [1709.4s] Oh my god I don't have that [1712.0s] it doesn't matter even if I did have it [1714.1s] because it still is only six. [1716.4s] Everybody else sees this creature. [1718.5s] Glim you are so much stronger than that come on. [1721.6s] Take a step back. [1722.7s] Can I help? [1723.9s] No she's gone. [1725.8s] Take a step back unhinge its jaw [1728.8s] like unspeakably and impossibly wide [1732.6s] and clamp down around Glim [1735.1s] and lift her up and like in one gulp she's gone. [1739.3s] Well podcast over. [1740.5s] Russ just keeps killing off Carla's characters. [1742.9s] Right. [1743.2s] You're not dead yet. [1745.9s] Also it's wild. [1747.1s] The thing's like 10 feet tall. [1748.5s] I think I'm like seven feet tall. [1750.3s] I said 12. [1751.0s] It's wild. [1751.8s] Right. [1752.3s] Sorry. [1752.6s] I said 12. [1753.7s] Still it's crazy. [1755.3s] It's true the mechanics of this are quite. [1757.4s] It's really something. [1758.7s] Fantasy mechanics. [1760.2s] I've imagined this creature so much taller [1763.0s] in my description but I guess Sully is much smaller. [1766.1s] For you yes that's it. [1767.1s] So like he really is like mountain climbing up this thing. [1769.8s] For you it's just like what up. [1771.4s] That said yeah you're probably your feet are sticking out [1773.9s] of its mouth but yeah it's like swallowed the majority of you. [1777.6s] The other two humans are gonna just kind of stand and watch. [1782.7s] They're not gonna do anything. [1784.2s] Perverts. [1785.1s] I hope my scales cause a lot of indigestion. [1788.4s] You hear off into the into the trees [1793.4s] like a thunderous cacophony of like busting down of trees [1799.8s] something big is coming fast. [1802.6s] Glim it's your turn. [1804.2s] Well I don't hear that. [1805.5s] I just hear like wet gushing noises. [1809.2s] So as you are swallowed a swallowed creature [1812.2s] is blinded and restrained has total cover against attacks [1815.0s] and other effects outside the nightgarm. [1817.8s] It takes acid damage at the start of each of the nightgarm's turns [1823.1s] at the start of each of the nightgarm's turns. [1824.5s] So not your turn. [1825.4s] Yeah but if she's blinded and restrained. [1828.2s] You just roll with. [1829.0s] Well I mean. [1830.2s] What can she do? [1831.9s] Well stab wildly. [1833.7s] Don't open your mouth but you're restrained. [1835.7s] Can you stab if you're restrained? [1837.5s] Well you had your weapon in your hand right? [1839.4s] Yeah I did have my weapon in my hand. [1841.7s] Wish I hadn't used that fire. [1843.2s] It'd be pretty dope right now but. [1844.8s] Dope inside. [1845.4s] Too bad. [1846.5s] You got spells and stuff too. [1848.6s] Well I kind of do. [1849.3s] Can you radiate from the inside? [1851.6s] Should I try to speak with animals from inside? [1854.4s] I don't know if you want to open your mouth. [1856.3s] I don't. [1857.3s] I don't want to open my mouth. [1859.2s] But I can. [1861.0s] Let's see how this plays out. [1862.6s] Alright. [1863.8s] I'm going to channel divinity. [1866.4s] Nature's wrath. [1868.2s] So I'm going to cause spectral vines to spring up and reach for a creature. [1873.8s] They have to succeed on a strength or dex saving throw. [1878.5s] But these are inside it. [1880.5s] So how does that work Russ? [1882.9s] Okay. [1883.2s] Oh I'm on board. [1885.3s] So normally it would try to break free of them with that strength or dex save. [1889.4s] I don't think it can because it's coming from inside of it so. [1893.2s] The call is coming from inside the house. [1895.3s] I was just going to say that. [1896.5s] Get out of my head Tom. [1897.5s] I won't. [1898.3s] I love it in there. [1899.4s] How I picture this and you can feel free to correct me if you don't like it. [1904.6s] But these vines like you can feel them glim begin to emerge from like inside this [1911.3s] stomach that you find yourself in and shoot out of the creature. [1918.1s] Everybody else you see these vines like thorny blood covered vines shoot out of [1923.9s] the stomach of this creature who lets out an enormous roar and like painful. [1929.8s] Can it though? [1930.0s] It's got a mouth full of glim. [1931.6s] It's got a stomach full of glim. [1934.0s] Uh oh. [1935.5s] Yeah stop. [1937.0s] As like it's it's it's abs on abs are shredded apart and then these vines like wrap around [1945.8s] and begin to compress where glim is not. [1949.7s] So give me is there damage for that or. [1952.5s] There's not damage. [1953.5s] Normally it would just be um restrained but I guess. [1959.7s] Let's just roll 2d10 and see what happens. [1963.4s] I mean if you're getting all vined from the inside. [1966.5s] Like that seems like bad news. [1968.2s] It's really bad uh 14. [1971.9s] It's gonna make a con save. [1974.2s] It didn't beat the hit point threshold that it has in the monster book but I feel like [1978.9s] fine shooting out of a stomach is an exception to that rule and it failed its con save. [1985.0s] So you are projected out back out of this creature uh 10 or 15 feet away and land [1992.1s] hard on the ground your blade down on the ground beside you as you see what you have [1997.4s] created as this creature is being like constricted from the inside out basically. [2004.4s] Ew I wonder if that's like how a caterpillar makes a cocoon. [2009.3s] Who you who you want to go next? [2010.9s] I think Terry because he yeah. [2013.1s] Terry turns to you and says I don't know if I can recreate that noise but I will try. [2018.6s] Um and he's gonna swing not well one one of his great sword hits. [2026.2s] But like this thing is still being like constrained? [2029.9s] He gets he gets one hit kind of on this second hit that actually connects he turns [2035.8s] and you hear this thunderous glim you now hear it for the first time but this thunderous [2041.7s] stampede through the trees and before you is this like furry [2050.6s] 20 foot tall what looks like 4,000 pound creature that emerges from the forest beside you. [2059.7s] Busts through and into the midst of this and picks up the nightgarm [2064.5s] and where it's already being torn apart shreds it into and throws the pieces at [2070.6s] the remaining two humans and it turns and begins to look at all of you [2077.6s] with this let's say Sully go next make a perception roll. [2087.1s] That is a five. [2090.0s] Everybody else make a perception roll. [2095.0s] 12. [2095.9s] 16. [2097.2s] The three of you look at this creature and although the creature is huge and hulking [2102.3s] and terrifying like it has long claws and fangs out of this muzzle that comes out of this [2110.3s] long wiry matted hair the eyes look familiar though. [2117.9s] Aw Scruffy. [2119.5s] Almost saucer like. [2120.9s] Holy shit what the fuck is this? [2123.8s] And I take my sort of reflection frightful reflection and start to advance on the beast. [2133.1s] Wait. [2135.8s] What? [2136.4s] Wait. [2137.1s] Why? [2138.3s] Do you do any of you see? [2141.1s] It's I think it's Scruffy or Scrappy or Scraps or. [2145.4s] It's the dog from the. [2146.6s] Marky bark. [2147.7s] Marky bark. [2148.4s] This is it. [2150.6s] Look at the eyes. [2152.5s] And we have a moment where his eyes look into my eyes. [2156.5s] Roll. [2156.9s] My eyes look into his eyes. [2158.7s] Animal hand. [2163.0s] One. [2164.1s] Oh god. [2165.8s] No can't be it. [2167.4s] Because of your bonus. [2168.3s] It was a two but I had a minus one so I don't think that counts. [2172.6s] I don't think it does either. [2175.0s] I don't see it. [2176.6s] No I think it is. [2178.7s] Does 17 hit. [2181.8s] Me? [2182.3s] Yeah. [2184.4s] You're going to take 18 bludgeoning. [2187.4s] But the why the fuck. [2188.9s] Because you looked at it funny. [2191.9s] Too much eye contact. [2193.3s] Sully is struck hard by this creature and thrown against a tree. [2200.7s] Glim do you have any more of that food. [2203.0s] Scruffy come on barky bark. [2206.9s] Thomas I don't know what you want your name to be but here. [2209.8s] And I find some more of my my beef jerky or. [2213.8s] It hears the crinkle of the wrapper. [2216.8s] And turns and looks at you. [2218.7s] Roll animal handling. [2219.9s] And with advantage. [2220.7s] I didn't get a snack upstairs because I knew the minute I busted into those gummies. [2227.3s] Only 11. [2228.4s] It turns quickly and looks at you and there's this panic in its eyes. [2234.1s] And then it softens. [2236.4s] And then you see it slowly begin to move towards you and as you hold out. [2242.1s] The food towards it. [2244.4s] It takes it in one of its giant claws. [2248.6s] And turns and begins to eat it like it's a it's a small piece of food compared to [2253.2s] this creature but just like start shoving it in its mouth. [2256.1s] And you see it begin to shrink. [2258.6s] In size you hear bones and flesh popping as it. [2262.8s] As it moves down back to the small dog you found in the brush. [2269.0s] It turns and comes over to you. [2271.3s] Hey buddy thanks for eating that gross thing that was trying to eat me. [2276.2s] I'm gonna go over and help Sully up. [2280.3s] Yeah and what's happening with the people. [2282.1s] This dog hulking creature through the two pieces at the two remaining people. [2287.6s] Everybody that you can see looks dead but they don't. [2292.4s] Appear normal in death. [2296.6s] Like their blood runs more black than red. [2300.4s] As they die you see where any wounds open up like quicker decay. [2306.8s] Sully are you okay? [2310.2s] Yeah no I'm fine I had worse. [2313.8s] We tried to tell you it was it was the dog. [2316.2s] What? [2317.8s] See it's the dog. [2319.5s] Well it didn't look like the dog it looked like the not. [2324.2s] Listen I can't do this right now. [2328.5s] I'm tired. [2329.9s] Okay well you just you know maybe here you sit up and don't fall asleep. [2335.5s] That's going to be very important right now. [2338.4s] And I'll just I'll just hang here with you and I'll keep you company keep you awake. [2342.3s] Okay. [2343.8s] The scene fades out on everybody and the gore around them and we cut back to the castle [2350.3s] where the three of you and the dog and Terry are not in that hallway but in another section [2357.6s] of the building watching as the artist is putting in a a panel of stained glass [2366.3s] of the four of you taking down this nightgarm.
