[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons. [30.0s] As you do, you see this huge decaying tentacle wrapped around the vessel, crushing it beneath [40.4s] its hefty weight. [43.2s] You back away from the ship that has slowed its speed so that you can keep up with [49.0s] it and so that it doesn't take on extra stress, and you see an undead kraken that [55.1s] continues to crush the ship as it turns and looks at you and lets out this screech [59.0s] towards you. [60.0s] Release the ship. [71.3s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons, I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More, he, him also [76.1s] with me today is Carla Maxted.

[144.0s] A little housekeeping, got it tidy up around here. [146.4s] Oh come on, that was a really good dad joke, you know where else you can find some good [149.2s] dad jokes?

[191.7s] Michael Jansky. [192.7s] Thanks Michael. [193.7s] I hope it's not the episode where we get eaten by a kraken. [198.2s] Look. [199.2s] We're gonna blame it on you if it is. [200.9s] I'm just kidding. [201.9s] We put the party together in the last one. [203.5s] Now it's time to get them all. [205.2s] Dare them apart. [206.5s] Bring them back down. [207.5s] That's okay. [208.5s] It's the darkest timeline. [209.5s] Put Thea and Glim in a room together. [212.1s] Well Glim's full prophecy is we're gonna save the world after half our crew gets [217.5s] eaten by a kraken. [218.9s] Total party. [219.9s] Is it a different name when it's total party kill, but it's two parties? [223.0s] It's all the parties? [224.0s] Half a party. [225.0s] T.P. [226.0s] Krakken. [227.0s] Total party kraken. [228.5s] Kraken killed them all. [229.5s] Thank you, Michael. [230.6s] And thank you for thinking about joining us. [233.2s] If you do, and want to, and check it out, just see what it's about, Patreon.com slash [238.7s] dumb dragon cast. [241.0s] Now fuck it, let's play. [242.7s] Nice. [243.7s] Let's be kraken my beer. [248.7s] Kraken my beer. [251.7s] Guys, I'm on a roll. [255.5s] We'll remind everybody where everybody is because there are a lot of people at play. [259.4s] Yenbul, Tullgear, Moot, Thea, and Glim have donned a fishbowl, a kind of a like Sandy [270.5s] the squirrel, scuba tank from SpongeBob, and been given amulets to allow them to [277.6s] move a little quicker under underwater so that they can take on what was unknown [281.9s] at the time, but we found out was a kraken. [284.7s] Because there are no windows on this ship. [287.3s] No one can look out and be like, well, that's a giant tentacle right there. [290.9s] No, Flamikins just uses the sound of the hull, you know, she's so home. [296.1s] Yeah, she puts her hand against it. [298.2s] She's like the engine. [300.3s] It's all left. [301.1s] Can feel the vibration. [302.2s] That's right. [302.8s] Yeah, she just knows. [303.8s] This is no piercer. [304.7s] Yeah. [305.7s] Going back to the check-in, Sully is sitting beside Bahama telling him a lovely story. [311.2s] So we're going to, you know, like on an adventure stuff. [316.5s] And we make it to this town and everybody's so like lucid. [323.1s] You look like you'd fit right in in this town. [325.9s] But we help them make this apple crumble that was just so delicious. [332.7s] And all it takes is some sugar, some fresh apples. [338.6s] You want to get some oats mixed in there, some brown sugar if you got it, and some cinnamon. [343.7s] We cut up to Flamikins, who's slowed the vessel down and is feeling the vibrations [351.8s] because that's what's established now. [355.0s] And determining where she is. [356.9s] She's checking charts. [357.9s] She's checking random vibration notebooks that she has of this region. [362.7s] She just press her nipples up against the side of the ship and go, we need to go more Dewey-sexual. [369.5s] No, I didn't put a window in this for a very specific reason. [373.3s] That's the darkest timeline. [374.7s] It's hard to get any. [376.1s] Leosun is standing... [378.0s] Disturbed. [379.0s] Disturbed. [380.0s] No, Leosun is at the back of the vessel just waiting to open the chamber again. [384.7s] Once you all hopefully return is what he's thinking. [389.7s] But also doing a paperwork in the inevitable case of somebody dying, you know. [393.6s] He like put all his fucking adventures out there. [395.7s] God damn it. [396.7s] Talk about eggs in one basket, people. [398.7s] Sully is like, that's okay. [401.4s] Sully's got it. [402.4s] It's Sully's destiny now. [404.2s] We established like a special knock or something. [407.1s] So he'd... [408.1s] Yeah, it's the frantic pounding. [409.1s] We just didn't include that. [410.1s] I'm pretty sure he said, no, don't use your magic and then close the door. [412.9s] I'm pretty sure he's there with like a 30 minute timer hourglass. [416.7s] Don't you think? [417.7s] I said the word. [419.0s] He flipped the hourglass and he's staring at it. [424.7s] Pressure's building. [425.8s] This music that I put in here is like... [429.2s] Things are moving by. [430.5s] And we move outside to the action. [433.5s] The Kraken taking Tullgear's very pointed response releases itself from the ship and [443.8s] begins moving towards you. [445.4s] Let's roll for initiative. [448.0s] And we're going to popcorn this bitch because that's what we do now. [451.6s] You said that my voice when I was trying to say in the last episode about how fish [457.8s] pee in the ocean was cut off. [461.0s] Are we able to communicate with one another in there? [463.9s] Good question. [464.9s] No. [465.9s] Then how the fuck are we supposed to popcorn this? [466.9s] Just lots of pointing? [467.9s] Fuck. [468.9s] Okay, next time. [469.9s] We'll popcorn next time. [470.9s] We'll try this time. [471.9s] No, no, no. [472.9s] We can popcorn. [473.9s] That's fine. [474.9s] We'll say that there's a communication thing and only yours was cut off so everybody [478.2s] else can popcorn. [479.2s] Oh, no. [480.2s] Everyone else can turn theirs on. [481.2s] So Leosin was like going through a tunnel. [483.2s] He was like, yeah, that would actually not be great. [485.8s] Yeah, that's right. [487.6s] No, everybody has some sort of communicator of some sort that they're able to speak with [493.0s] each other because otherwise this is going to be not as fun. [496.6s] Just a silent fight. [497.6s] That's right. [498.6s] It's just the sound of swooshing water as, you know, just things are happening, screaming [502.9s] monsters and then something. [504.5s] Do we have to roll for initiative? [505.5s] Yeah, everybody's got to roll for initiative. [507.0s] I'm just, I'm just killing the time. [508.0s] Why? [509.0s] Wait, do we have to? [510.0s] If it's popcorn. [511.0s] Well, we've got to figure out who starts. [513.0s] Mu rolled a nine. [514.0s] Wim rolled a 20. [515.0s] Telgi rolled an 18. [516.2s] I'm so glad I only have to play one person. [518.2s] Yen roll rolled an 11. [519.6s] So Glim? [520.6s] Telgi rolled a 17. [521.6s] Glim, you emerge from the ship and turn and look and see this cracking. [525.7s] What do you do with your newfound Bahamut energy? [530.0s] I'm going to use my breath weapon. [531.6s] No, I'm not going to light a fire in my fish tank. [537.6s] You know, I got to say you'd think having fire breath would come in super handy, [542.6s] but it comes in less handy than you would think, unless someone touches your fucking [545.8s] donkey and then let it rip. [546.8s] Yeah. [547.8s] Well, sure. [548.8s] That's her off. [549.8s] But I think I will attack it with my sun blade new weapon. [559.4s] Let me describe it to you because it's new. [562.3s] It looks like just the hilt of a long sword, but I use a bonus action to cause a blade [567.8s] of pure radiance to spring into existence. [572.2s] While the blade exists, this magic long sword has the finesse property. [577.3s] So I get some attack bonuses, blah, blah, blah. [580.0s] When you hit an undead target with it, that target takes an extra 1d8 damage. [585.0s] Yeah, it does. [587.1s] Also it's made some light. [588.1s] It's probably dark down here. [589.1s] It's made a bright light in a 15 foot radius dim light for an additional 15 feet. [595.3s] That light is sunlight, which I bet that Kraken does not love. [600.5s] Not a fan of. [601.7s] 33. [602.7s] 33. [603.7s] I rolled another nat 20. [606.7s] Boom. [607.7s] Okay. [608.7s] Yeah. [609.7s] Roll me some beautiful damage and then tell me what your nat 20 fucking looks like [617.1s] on this undead motherfucker. [619.1s] So 15 plus 6. [624.3s] You only get the bonus on the first one, right? [626.1s] So 21 plus another d8, just cuz. [632.3s] So 25 damage. [633.9s] I feel like Glim is really infused with the spirit of Bahamut in a way she has not [639.2s] been for several years. [641.7s] So she is putting all of her Bahamut love energy into this radiance weapon and is [648.2s] going to, I think, probably strike for whatever. [656.1s] Like maybe there's a tentacle nearby that I can try and slice through. [660.0s] Yeah, this thing is, yeah, it's got like this, like, what's the, what's the fish [664.6s] with the angler fish kind of like mouth, like almost like a dragon, like forehead [670.1s] with these almost arm like appendages that come off that kind of look like ears. [675.6s] And that's like this tentacly beard thing. [679.3s] All of this is very undead, very decaying, huge, like spikes coming out of its back [685.7s] as it moves down this long squid like body and then royals of tentacles all over the [693.3s] place. [694.3s] Um, I forgot, guys, I have another attack. [697.6s] I figured. [698.6s] Yeah. [699.6s] What am I doing? [700.6s] So let me describe what I do after I give it more damage, okay? [703.6s] Do it. [704.7s] Oh, I thought it was going to be another nat 20, uh, 27, 14, don't worry. [710.7s] So 17 more damage, so 25 plus 17. [714.2s] So having seen the picture of it now, rather than one of it has more like thin squid [718.8s] tentacles, not like octopus arm tentacles. [721.8s] So I'm actually going to go for its weird ear arm thing and try and cut through one [725.7s] of those as opposed to getting in the mix with all those swirly tentacles at [730.3s] the back end. [731.5s] Two huge hits go in and flesh in black. [736.6s] It doesn't react like blood because this thing isn't alive. [739.5s] Like it just begins to pool out more ink like your sun blade cuts through. [744.3s] It gets dark as it goes into the flesh and then illuminates as it comes back out. [749.5s] Everybody sees the silhouette of you fighting against this crack and that is all you [755.4s] can do for your turn presently. [759.5s] It is going to try and grab you with one of its tentacles. [764.3s] But doesn't Carla? [765.5s] It has like legendary actions. [767.5s] So I guess we are super high level. [771.3s] So that's only, so that's a six on the die plus 17 to hit. [775.7s] So that's, uh, 23 to hit that will hit. [781.5s] So you're going to take 20 bludgeoning damage and the target is grappled. [787.5s] There's no, on your turn, the escape DC is 18. [791.7s] You are restrained and it has 10 tentacles, each of which can grapple one target. [798.7s] Oh boy. [799.7s] That has happened. [800.8s] You turn to look and try and signal one of your allies and you get wrapped up [805.9s] and bashed up by this tentacle. [808.7s] Moot, help a girl out. [811.3s] Question for you, Russ. [812.3s] Yeah. [813.3s] I have a spell here called slow. [817.2s] Okay. [818.2s] And it says I can alter time for up to six creatures of your choice in a 40 foot cube [823.6s] within range. [824.6s] Now, can I just target like the Kraken or will Glim as well be in there? [830.2s] No, it's your, your choice, right? [832.5s] Perfect. [833.5s] And this is one of your sorcerer spells or one of your other spells? [837.8s] This is one of my other spells. [839.3s] Okay. [840.3s] So wild magic does not trigger then. [842.4s] All right. [843.4s] Um, so you need to make a wisdom saving throw. [845.9s] Oh, so wise. [847.3s] So wise. [848.3s] I mean, an undead Kraken's got to have some brains, right? [851.5s] So that's a 16. [852.5s] All right. [853.5s] Well, 16 isn't going to handle it. [855.3s] So Moot reaches into his spell component bag and brings out a little stopper that's [861.2s] filled with like some, some brownish liquid and he takes one drop of it out of the [868.1s] stopper and he casts slow and an effective target speed is halved. [873.5s] It takes minus two penalty to AC and dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions. [879.8s] And on your turn, you can either use an action or a bonus action, but not both. [883.7s] One action or bonus action and reactions though are legendary actions reactions. [890.8s] Great question. [893.2s] Legendary actions can be chosen in turns as reactions. [895.9s] So it can't do those. [897.6s] Oh no, he can't do those anymore guys. [899.9s] Can't do those. [900.9s] Oh no. [901.9s] Too bad. [903.3s] Bummer. [904.3s] All right. [905.3s] So like a wave goes out in the, in the, in the water around you, Glim, you feel like [912.2s] the muscles, not constrict because that's not the term I'm looking for, because that [917.5s] would mean that it's trying to hurt you more, but like atrophy, yeah, tense or atrophy, [923.7s] like slow. [924.7s] And the, what was very quick movements that it was making to try and advance on your [931.1s] team has, has slowed as well. [934.0s] So it's swim speed was 60 feet. [935.8s] It's now 30 feet, not a huge deal, big, it's a huge thing, but that, you know, will [942.7s] make a difference. [943.7s] Okay. [944.7s] And I'm, I'm going to look over at, uh, Thea, I'm going to say, Oh, what do you [949.1s] got? [950.1s] To you magic user, what are you, what are you going to do? [954.8s] Don't cast any spells now. [955.8s] It's so toffee. [956.8s] I'm looking through Yen Vols and it's like, do you need to roll on the table by any chance [962.8s] though, Tom, with all your spellsies? [964.5s] No, because it's the other thing. [966.5s] It's not the sorcerer thing. [968.1s] So it's the other thing. [970.4s] Other thing. [971.4s] So yeah, no, no killing magic. [974.4s] Does anything. [975.4s] I, uh, we can cut this back. [977.1s] Does anything physically change about Moog when he makes that spell? [982.9s] Ooh, good question. [984.3s] Um, yeah. [985.3s] Maybe he like has like a dark, do you say his hair gets messy? [989.9s] I swear to God, no, maybe like a little like dark ripple. [993.2s] Okay. [994.2s] Kind of goes through them. [995.2s] Like, and like, it's not really noticeable unless you're watching for it. [998.7s] But yeah. [999.7s] Yeah. [1000.7s] Everybody else wouldn't really see it, but yeah, there is like this aura that [1004.1s] comes off of him. [1005.3s] As that happens, Thea swims up next to glim and says, cool sword looks magical [1014.6s] and takes out her regular Simtar and just goes a-hacking at the tentacle that's got glim [1022.7s] all wrapped up. [1024.7s] So much shade. [1025.7s] Fuck. [1026.7s] Uh, that's a 15. [1028.6s] Even with the minus two still doesn't, doesn't do it. [1031.3s] Glances off its natural armor. [1033.4s] You do have two attacks, right? [1035.9s] One of them has to be magical. [1037.3s] My second attack is melee. [1038.8s] I mean, they just gave you shit for casting magic and then you've seen one pull [1043.1s] out a magic sword and another one cast a spell without any other knowledge. [1048.6s] Fair enough. [1049.6s] I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to take, take their lead. [1052.9s] Fuck all y'all. [1053.9s] Fuck all y'all. [1054.9s] I'm doing my own thing. [1055.9s] I like, I'm like, the Simtar is not working. [1058.8s] And then I look at her and I shrug and then I'm going to cast, this thing's hurt [1068.8s] already. [1069.8s] Yes. [1070.8s] Yep. [1072.6s] Okay. [1073.6s] So I point at it and I don't know how bells sound under the water, but [1085.5s] just like that. [1086.5s] And the target needs to succeed on a wisdom saving throw. [1089.1s] It did so well the first time. [1090.9s] Uh, 18. [1091.9s] So, so you don't take any damage then I shrug and I, and I look at Yen Bull and [1100.4s] I'm like, my confidence is shook. [1103.3s] I hate this because it is like, the only thing I can do is magic. [1107.9s] The magic kills the earth, but if we don't kill the creature, we all die. [1112.3s] And then what's the point in saving the thing anyway. [1114.5s] So I feel like, um, into Yen Bull's mind, uh, Yen Bull hasn't really stopped using [1122.5s] magic that much. [1123.5s] It's true. [1124.5s] You guys haven't noticed because she feels like, you know, she's not doing it to [1129.3s] like tie up her shoes. [1130.6s] There are other people eating cows or being vegetarian. [1135.7s] So you having the burgers, not going to be that big of a deal. [1138.7s] Other people are pulling the hard vegetarian weight. [1142.5s] Introspective like mind palace here on Yen Bull, just like, she's like looking through [1148.2s] her spell book or whatever she's doing to think about what to do and her underwater [1152.3s] spell book. [1153.3s] Her underwater spell book. [1154.3s] Yeah. [1155.3s] It's laminated. [1156.3s] She's got it all up here. [1157.3s] I'm in the library in my mind. [1159.0s] Well, I'm not supposed to use magic, but if I don't kill the creature, the creature [1165.2s] kills us. [1166.2s] And what is the point? [1167.2s] No one can save the world. [1168.2s] Magic is gone anyway. [1169.5s] So it must be done. [1172.6s] And I am going to, I don't think I've done this before. [1176.3s] Ooh, I'm always excited when there's something new. [1179.9s] Well, what happens when you call lightning underwater? [1185.1s] What happens when you call lightning underwater? [1186.9s] Good question. [1187.9s] We find out together. [1189.3s] How deep are we underwater? [1191.1s] Like pretty deep. [1192.1s] How many leagues would you say? [1194.1s] 40,000? [1195.1s] We would be at least a 39,000. [1197.3s] Jesus. [1198.3s] Oh, that's quite far. [1199.3s] We're pretty deep. [1200.3s] Pretty deep. [1201.3s] Like, yeah, you're riding the bottom of the ocean because, you know, what was [1205.6s] talked about off screen is like Flamingons is worried about shit coming from the [1209.2s] air. [1210.2s] So you don't want to be like too high up or have anybody follow them. [1215.4s] Because God forbid we die or we get attacked close to the surface where we have a chance [1219.9s] of escaping. [1220.9s] Yeah. [1221.9s] Yeah. [1222.9s] We're all going to get the bends. [1223.9s] Yeah, exactly. [1225.5s] I cast Water Walk, float up to the top and die from the top. [1230.3s] Die immediately. [1231.3s] Okay. [1232.3s] Let's see. [1233.3s] Sorry. [1234.3s] I was looking at things before, but it's so tough. [1237.5s] So many of mine are like, affect lots of people and Glim's still grappled, right? [1242.5s] So I'm not going to be like... [1243.8s] She doesn't know Glim. [1247.3s] I mean... [1248.3s] Glim could just come kill that dragon. [1250.7s] This is Russ's long con to have Carla kill one of her own characters. [1254.2s] Oh my God. [1255.2s] I'm the worst. [1256.2s] A diabolical. [1257.2s] I love it. [1260.2s] Can't banish it. [1261.9s] It's holding Glim. [1264.5s] Also bad. [1266.5s] Okay. [1267.9s] I will do this because Glim can take it. [1270.3s] I am going to cast Destructive Wave, because that can happen under the ocean. [1275.8s] Sure. [1276.8s] Yeah. [1277.8s] A burst of divine energy ripples outward. [1279.3s] Oh, nevermind. [1280.3s] It's not even going to hit Glim. [1282.3s] Each creature you choose must succeed on a con saving throw. [1286.9s] Sweet. [1287.9s] And that's 27. [1288.9s] Oh, bad. [1289.9s] Whoa. [1290.9s] Okay. [1291.9s] What is even the point? [1295.2s] Half as much. [1296.5s] So you will take 5d6. [1299.5s] No. [1300.5s] I roll it and then you just take half of it, right? [1304.8s] Yep. [1305.8s] So... [1306.8s] So many character sheets. [1308.6s] So that is 17 thunder damage and then you are also going to take 15 radiant damage [1320.3s] as well. [1321.3s] Telgir. [1322.3s] What have you got? [1323.9s] Telgir is going to swim over there with his battleaxe in hand and attempt to strike it [1330.3s] down. [1331.3s] Take like these big two-handed hacks at this Kraken. [1334.5s] It's a 28. [1336.1s] Second one is a 26, 27 slashing damage in total. [1342.3s] Whoa. [1343.5s] With a magical slashing weapon. [1345.8s] Y'all so magic. [1347.2s] Hey, you magic? [1348.9s] And as I finish up with the second one, it starts to react. [1354.4s] Who knows how good it'll be for old Telgir? [1356.8s] Only gets one action or bonus action because of your slow spell. [1361.3s] Nice. [1362.3s] Yeah, it does. [1363.3s] So it's going to... [1365.3s] It lets out like this whale that rings out through the water and vibrates the [1369.7s] bulls on your head. [1372.1s] Exactly, a Chewbacca. [1377.5s] And it's going to try to... [1379.5s] It looks at you with menacing eyes, Telgir, but then pulls Glim in to its mouth for [1387.0s] a 29 to bite you, Glim. [1390.5s] That'll do it. [1392.1s] So you're going to take 23 piercing damage and you are swallowed. [1397.7s] Again? [1398.7s] Oh no. [1399.7s] Again. [1400.7s] In two different timelines. [1403.1s] It's like, you know, this one's a... [1405.0s] This one actually makes sense though. [1406.4s] This is just a reoccurring thing for her. [1408.4s] All the time streams are connecting. [1409.6s] So you are swallowed. [1411.8s] So you're no longer grappled by its tentacle, but you are inside of it. [1415.8s] So silver lining. [1416.8s] Imagine if it swallowed you while grappling you with the tentacle. [1420.8s] Just bites off its tentacle and... [1422.6s] It's just like, ah. [1424.1s] So you are blinded and restrained. [1425.5s] You have total cover against attacks and other effects outside the Kraken. [1430.3s] You do take a large number of acid damage at the start of each of its turns. [1436.1s] If it takes a bunch of damage, it has to succeed in a con save or throw you up. [1440.8s] It's going to try and make a wisdom saving throw for Moot's spell. [1445.5s] Yeah. [1446.5s] It's a 19. [1447.5s] 19 is enough to pass. [1449.7s] All right. [1450.7s] So good will it last. [1452.1s] This huge bite comes out of you, Glim, and then everything begins to speed up [1455.6s] for this monster again. [1457.9s] Ship's going to go next inside. [1460.9s] Sounds like... [1461.9s] Just hand to the wall. [1462.9s] It sounds like they're doing a really good job out there. [1465.5s] I'm going to start to move. [1467.0s] Get away from this thing. [1468.0s] And she hits a button and tethers begin to shoot out of the back and begin to drag behind [1474.3s] it as you see the ship begin to pull away. [1478.2s] So there's something to grab onto. [1479.2s] Yeah. [1480.2s] Thanks. [1481.2s] Sully. [1482.2s] And then all these old people are like getting it on and stuff. [1486.6s] And like, it's kind of unreal, but it really seems like a place you'd want to [1491.4s] settle down after a life of adventuring. [1493.7s] You know? [1495.1s] You're like, why don't you be rude? [1497.4s] You're like, what? [1499.7s] Nine hundred? [1505.2s] I don't know how long gods live for. [1507.2s] Probably forever. [1508.7s] But let me tell you, as soon as you wake up, we're going to make you some of [1512.3s] that apple crumble. It's going to change your world. [1515.3s] Who goes next, Sully? [1516.7s] Thea, because she wants to do something fucking cool. [1519.4s] And also is totally chuffed that, like, she's like, man, she had to go and get [1527.8s] herself swallowed and get to see this. [1533.1s] Show off for Glim. [1534.3s] Camera zooms quick out the back of the vessel. [1536.8s] And Thea. [1538.9s] I'm going to cast something I've never cast before. [1541.4s] Thea starts swirling her hands around a little bit because she's never done [1546.3s] anything like this in water. [1547.5s] Actually, she's never done anything like this at all. [1549.7s] And she conjures an elemental at eight level. [1557.1s] And so that means she does not just conjure one elemental, she conjures [1563.6s] three elementals and the elementals that she conjures are fire infused [1569.8s] water elementals. [1572.1s] And these elementals that live between the state of fire and water [1580.9s] appear in front of or no appear beside Thea, the three of them. [1589.1s] And it looks they are almost a liquidy humanoid shape that looks like [1596.4s] roiling, boiling water form, as well as almost like seeing it steam [1605.2s] under water. If you can picture all that. [1607.9s] Nice. What is the level of control that you get over these elementals? [1613.0s] Good question. [1615.3s] Let's see here. I would love to control three elementals. [1618.5s] The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. [1621.4s] OK, darn. [1623.1s] Ma, I have a bunch of spells where it's like you can summon a demon, [1626.5s] but like it might try to kill you. [1628.3s] I'm like, OK, cool. [1630.1s] You roll initiative for them. [1632.2s] It has its own turn. [1633.6s] They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them. [1637.6s] And if you don't issue commands to them, they will just defend themselves [1640.5s] from hostile creatures and otherwise take no actions. [1642.7s] OK, I've added the elementals into the rotation. [1645.1s] So these three elementals [1648.4s] fire royals up and begins like bubbling the water that's around it. [1652.7s] And I say, hold on a sec. [1654.3s] And I take out my longbow and I just want to shoot it in the eye. [1659.7s] Shoot it because I have an action. [1662.1s] So I want to. [1663.8s] Oh, no, I don't. [1665.3s] I don't. I say, never mind. [1667.1s] That's I was I was shooting an arrow at the creature [1670.0s] in the general direction that I want you guys to go fight with us. [1675.5s] You realize that arrows underwater, not a great. [1678.5s] No, it didn't go well. [1679.9s] It didn't go well. [1681.6s] So these elementals are going to take their turns. [1687.3s] Because I tell them, yeah, go for it. [1689.1s] They have a multi attack. [1691.5s] So the first one is is going to slam. [1695.1s] Settle in while Amy takes all of the turns. [1697.9s] You know what? OK, it's going to be great. [1699.1s] This is what happens throughout the years of podcasting. [1702.3s] I get like saved up all the time. [1704.2s] Like one turn here and there. [1705.4s] And then every once in a while, I'll be like, [1708.1s] I create seven things and then I have all their. [1713.3s] So the first one is going to slam twice. [1718.0s] Oh, it's a nat 20 plus eight. [1720.6s] We cut back to flaming. [1721.9s] Wait, there's slamming going on out there. [1723.9s] God damn it. I should have gone out with the fight. [1726.8s] Back to you. [1727.1s] She has her tits pressed up against the. [1729.2s] Slam it, baby. [1730.6s] The wall. Give it to that cracking. [1734.1s] Cracking didn't know what hit it. [1736.5s] OK. [1739.0s] OK, it's only a little bit upsetting. [1740.8s] Only a smidge. [1743.0s] Thirty two for the first attack. [1747.3s] Damage for the slam. [1749.5s] And it gets to it again. [1751.3s] Oh, plus nine fire damage. [1755.3s] OK, so 32 plus that's 40. [1756.9s] Oh, sorry. Wait. [1759.8s] Plus another six fire damage. [1761.5s] Who let her cast these? [1763.3s] That's another six forty seven. [1764.9s] OK, and it still has one more. [1766.6s] It has one more slam. [1767.6s] OK, so next time, roll both slams. [1770.1s] That's another nat 20. [1771.8s] Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, baby. [1775.0s] Not only does Amy save up all of her turns through years of playing, [1778.7s] she saves up all of her nat 20s. [1780.8s] All my nat 20. [1782.5s] Wow. So that is a six. [1787.6s] And nine. [1789.4s] Sixty nine. [1790.4s] No, it's 15 plus five. [1794.6s] So that's 20 plus another 10, 30, 32. [1803.4s] Glim, you've been regurgitated during this. [1806.8s] Thirty five. [1808.5s] Three of that was fire damage. [1809.9s] OK, this thing's still alive. [1811.8s] So that's 70 something. [1813.9s] Oh, yeah, it's still alive. [1816.1s] Good, because there are two more [1818.9s] elementals who need to take their turns. [1831.1s] Middle, middle, middle, middle, [1832.1s] middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle. [1833.7s] Middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle. [1836.4s] Little in the middle, but you got much back. [1838.1s] No, that's not right. [1840.1s] It's not right. [1842.3s] That was good. That was a little. [1843.5s] Like, not around. [1845.9s] It's not around everybody, that's- [1847.9s] It was kind of around and then- [1849.5s] My middle lies over the ocean. [1853.1s] Karla, you go, my middle lies- [1854.7s] No, don't waste it. [1856.3s] Next interlude. [1857.5s] Oh, right. [1858.3s] We can't blow through them all. [1860.2s] We have an unlimited- [1861.5s] We're scheduled till 2027. [1863.5s] We can't blow through all of this. [1865.7s] Oh, that reminds me, [1866.5s] I have to do the schedule for next year. [1868.1s] Okay, bye, everybody. [1869.7s] No. [1871.6s] No, we're in the middle. [1872.8s] Hey, thanks for being here with us. [1874.8s] We really appreciate it. [1876.1s] And that's really what we want to say here [1879.6s] is that we love you and you being here [1882.5s] and we don't say it enough. [1883.9s] So this is us saying it in perpetuity [1887.2s] every time you listen to this episode [1888.7s] from now and forever. [1889.9s] I love it. [1890.7s] So just if you could listen to this episode, [1892.5s] maybe like quarterly or however often you want to feel [1898.3s] like it would be nice to be told that we love you. [1903.3s] Yeah, if you ever just need that, pick me up. [1904.1s] Fire up episode, whatever this episode is. [1906.6s] 102. [1907.4s] And skip right to the middle. [1908.5s] And while we've got you here. [1910.2s] Oh no, can't do it now. [1912.6s] You set it up as we were just telling, [1914.9s] we were just saying that we love you. [1916.5s] Yeah, we love them. [1917.3s] So we love you and that's it. [1918.8s] We were gonna tell you something else, [1920.2s] but you know what? [1921.1s] Nah. [1922.5s] I mean, if you wanted to go listen [1923.4s] to Halloween episode again, you could. [1925.7s] Both parts, not just our part. [1927.5s] Because spout lore is fucking hilarious [1929.5s] and we love those folks. [1930.8s] Oh, they're delightful. [1933.1s] So after you listen to this every quarter, [1934.7s] just hit up both of those Halloween episodes also. [1937.5s] Perfect. [1938.3s] They're gonna be up there always. [1939.7s] The Halloween Bonanza 2021 [1941.9s] is really the best Halloween Bonanza [1944.1s] that we've ever done to this point. [1946.4s] I don't know if this is gonna be a regular thing, [1948.6s] but what we are doing at Christmas [1951.1s] is another crossover with some other amazing folks, [1954.1s] Dum Dums and Dragons. [1956.0s] I feel like I put too many S's in that one. [1958.4s] Folks, Stums, Stums and Dragons. [1961.1s] I mean, it works. [1962.5s] So get looking forward to that one. [1964.9s] Somebody else talk. [1965.7s] Yeah, get looking. [1966.5s] No, no, that's- [1967.4s] Just get looking forward to it. [1968.2s] And that's a saying. [1969.1s] Get looking forward to that one. [1971.0s] Middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle. [1972.8s] Middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, [1974.1s] middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle, middle. [1975.4s] So to recap, we're in the middle. [1978.7s] We love you. [1980.9s] It's Halloween Bonanza was a blast [1983.5s] and it's not tied to Halloween. [1986.5s] It's just a Bonanza. [1987.9s] It's just your run-of-the-mill Bonanza. [1990.2s] Your mid-November Bonanza. [1991.7s] It's your American Thanksgiving Bonanza is what it is. [1995.5s] Perfect. [1996.3s] And also the holidays are coming [1997.5s] and we're doing a sweet crossover [1999.0s] with some good folks, Dum Dums and Dragons. [2001.0s] Make sure you go check them out. [2002.1s] But also listen to that coming up. [2003.9s] Look at all these great things we have going on, [2005.5s] including this Kraken battle [2007.5s] that we're in the middle of right now, baby. [2010.5s] It's real crunchy D&D episode [2013.1s] is what we're in the middle of. [2015.9s] Testing out all those new skills. [2017.7s] We love you. [2019.1s] And we love you. [2020.9s] Thanks for being here. [2022.0s] Okay, back to the episode now. [2023.4s] Bye. [2024.2s] Bye. [2028.3s] All right, roll all four attacks. [2030.7s] So yeah. [2031.5s] I'm not gonna do all four attacks. [2032.5s] They have other stuff that's going on. [2033.8s] Okay. [2034.6s] Oh yeah? [2035.4s] I'm gonna do it all. [2036.3s] So after this first one hits though, [2038.4s] it regurgitates Glim out [2041.2s] as it takes this massive damage. [2042.7s] So Glim, you come flying out. [2044.1s] It illuminated, the Sun Sword comes out [2046.4s] and you see the face of this thing. [2048.2s] It's torn apart and like bubbling. [2052.1s] Like the flesh is bubbling, which is weird. [2054.5s] And then you look and you see three fire elementals. [2057.5s] And then you look and Thea's cast a magic, [2060.3s] the huge magic, big magic. [2062.8s] Sorry, I did big magic. [2065.7s] And then the next one decides to use Skald. [2068.3s] Okay. [2069.4s] So a fire infused water elemental [2071.1s] sprays a 30 foot cone of superheated water. [2073.4s] I yell, get out of there. [2076.3s] Glim. [2078.1s] Each creature in the area must make [2079.7s] a DC dexterity saving throw. [2082.5s] Well, you said like there were three [2084.4s] that came up around it. [2086.1s] Yeah. [2086.9s] Okay, so I mean, unless one of these elementals [2089.6s] don't give no fucks about Glim, [2091.0s] like it's probably one of the other ones, we'll say. [2093.5s] Okay, yeah, sure. [2095.0s] Plus seven's nine. [2096.5s] Nah, not good enough. [2098.0s] That's 66 fire damage. [2099.7s] Okay. [2102.1s] Here we go. [2104.7s] Finally, Thea's doing stuff. [2108.1s] It'd be hurtful if it wasn't so, so true. [2112.5s] 23 fire damage and it's knocked prone. [2118.1s] No, it's not, because it's underwater. [2120.2s] Can't knock something prone that's floating. [2122.2s] Okay, so then the third one is going to do [2127.6s] a slam multi-attack again. [2130.5s] Okay. [2131.7s] And that is for, oh, it's only for a 17. [2135.0s] Hold on, I forgot I can do these. [2136.7s] So between the second and the third one, [2139.3s] it's going to set off a lightning storm [2141.6s] as a legendary action. [2143.3s] This is Russ throwing a DM hissy fit. [2145.5s] That's right. [2146.4s] Watch everybody. [2147.2s] Ouch. [2150.3s] This is Russ actually being a DM. [2152.5s] That's right. [2153.5s] Instead of what we normally do [2154.9s] where he like sugarcoats everything for us. [2156.8s] He only does it for me. [2158.1s] Well, I've been doing it for everybody else. [2159.9s] I mean, to be fair, [2160.8s] you've been eaten several times though. [2163.0s] You are doing the most right now. [2164.6s] You are doing banana's damage. [2167.4s] The Kraken magically creates three bolts of lightning, [2169.5s] each of which can strike a target. [2171.3s] The Kraken can see within 120 feet. [2173.5s] Target must make a DEC 23 dexterity saving throw. [2179.4s] So it's going to shoot for Thea, for Moot, [2182.1s] and for the elemental that has not gone yet. [2187.5s] Okay. [2188.3s] So I need a dex saving throw. [2190.4s] I've got to beat a 23. [2192.7s] I did not. [2194.9s] I got 12. [2196.9s] Dex saving throw. [2197.9s] Okay, here we go. [2199.5s] Didn't even come close with 14. [2201.4s] Okay, and roll for your elemental. [2204.1s] 17. [2205.1s] So the three of you are going to take 26 lightning damage. [2210.0s] Okay. [2211.1s] That sparks through the water, [2213.4s] which is also going to give everybody else around them [2219.5s] 13 lightning damage. [2222.3s] That don't get a save [2223.4s] because it's just running through the water. [2225.9s] That's like the one thing it's not resistant to. [2228.6s] All right, your third attacker. [2230.2s] Okay, my third attacker is going to, [2233.1s] just got hurt and is mad. [2235.3s] So they are going to multi-attack again [2238.4s] with two slam attacks. [2240.5s] So the first one is a 23. [2244.2s] Okay. [2245.3s] And the second one is a 20. [2248.8s] Can I just save these to you? [2249.9s] 15 plus 17. [2251.5s] 32. [2252.3s] Plus 10. [2253.3s] 42. [2254.1s] Two ones, plus two. [2256.5s] 44. [2257.4s] That much damage. [2258.7s] Wow. [2261.5s] He said, wow, you guys, it wasn't sarcastic at all. [2264.5s] No. [2265.4s] No, it sounded kind of sad. [2268.4s] It's almost 200 damage that you did on that turn. [2272.0s] It's still alive, but you did almost 200 damage. [2276.4s] Oh my God. [2278.7s] Well, oh Baham, it's not dead. [2281.9s] Um. [2284.7s] Glim, you want to stab him? [2285.9s] You were inside of him. [2287.5s] I kind of just give her a look. [2289.2s] Like I'm amazed at what she just did. [2291.5s] And I get that we're all doing what I told her not to do, [2295.5s] but I don't know. [2297.5s] It's going to be words later. [2299.1s] You did it first. [2303.1s] So I'm going to attack with the sun blade. [2305.5s] I'm going to action surge. [2307.0s] So I think then I'll have four attacks, right? [2309.9s] If I have two, then I action surge. [2312.5s] I get a second one. [2313.4s] You betcha. [2314.2s] So do you want me to roll all the attacks first [2315.8s] and then roll all the damage? [2317.2s] Yeah, yeah. [2318.1s] Does that make the most sense? [2318.9s] Let's do that. [2319.7s] Yeah. [2320.6s] Okay. [2321.8s] So 25. [2325.5s] Okay, yep. [2327.4s] 15. [2332.9s] No. [2336.7s] 21. [2337.6s] Yep. [2339.3s] And 26. [2341.1s] Yes, so you got three out of four. [2343.0s] Okay. [2343.9s] So I am going to roll. [2346.6s] So 10 plus 27 is 37 damage. [2353.8s] Nice. [2354.7s] All right. [2355.5s] This Kraken, like things, [2358.3s] tentacles are beginning to fall off [2359.9s] with all these hacks and fire blasts [2362.0s] and like the skin is decaying [2363.5s] and like there's becoming this cloud of filth [2367.2s] in the water. [2369.0s] It's making it hard to see the monster, [2370.1s] but it's, so it's not looking good, [2372.6s] basically is what I'm saying. [2374.1s] And who's left? [2374.9s] Yanvul and Mood? [2376.6s] Yeah, it's going to try and a tentacle attack. [2379.3s] You use 23. [2381.3s] Yep. [2382.2s] Do it. [2383.0s] So another 20 bludgeoning and you are grappled again. [2386.3s] Cheepers, creepers. [2388.2s] Well, what's Tulgear been doing? [2389.6s] Let's see what he does. [2391.8s] Tulgear sees the tentacles go for you [2394.6s] and he takes the opportunity [2396.0s] to continue hacking [2398.3s] and slashing away at this fucking thing. [2400.7s] Two attacks with the old battle ax. [2403.4s] One's a nat 20 and the other is a 27. [2407.2s] So many nat 20s. [2408.4s] Yeah. [2409.7s] Is the green dice, the classics there. [2412.7s] They're working tonight. [2413.7s] I love it. [2414.5s] They've been in the reserve. [2415.3s] They've been, you know, [2416.2s] holding back that energy. [2417.0s] Resting up. [2417.9s] Yeah. [2418.7s] Just for when they were needed, [2420.1s] when they were called upon, [2421.2s] they were here to rise to the action. [2423.4s] I'm going to grab one more D8 [2424.7s] because that will just make my life easier [2426.3s] with rolling all this stuff. [2428.4s] All right. [2429.3s] So the nat 21 will be eight and eight 16 on that one. [2435.5s] And then 15 on the second. [2438.3s] So 31 damage just on the nat 20. [2442.4s] And then 12 damage on the second one. [2446.9s] Math is hard with big monsters. [2450.7s] After Tulgear does all his hacking and slashing, [2453.9s] he like hits his hand against the ship [2457.8s] to indicate it's the ship's time to shine. [2460.1s] We cut to the cockpit. [2462.3s] Flamingons has pressed herself [2463.7s] so hard up against the wall. [2465.4s] Oh God. [2466.9s] Oh, it's me. [2470.1s] Oh, it's me. [2470.9s] Okay. Oh, shit. [2471.7s] Okay. [2472.6s] Pedal to the metal everybody. [2473.5s] Hold on. [2476.0s] She's taking it like when you hit the top of a taxi, [2478.3s] like go. [2480.9s] She slams it and it begins to take off there. [2483.5s] Still within range for you all to catch up to it [2486.0s] and grab those. [2487.2s] But she is out of reach of the Kraken [2489.6s] for the ship at the moment. [2491.8s] I'm gonna put the Kraken next. [2495.2s] It's just, it's just what's gonna happen. [2496.7s] Corey murder it. [2498.5s] That's right. [2499.3s] Lim, he's gonna not try to eat you this time. [2502.5s] It's going to fling you 60 feet in a random direction. [2508.0s] Oh, cause I'm just grappled. [2509.1s] I'm not swallowed. [2510.7s] I was thinking I was swallowed. [2512.1s] He barfs you 60 feet in a random direction. [2514.6s] It's a very powerful barf. [2516.2s] So he, sorry, he throws me 60 feet. [2518.5s] He's gonna whip you 60 feet. [2520.6s] I'm gonna roll a D4 for me. [2521.9s] North, South, East, West is what it's gonna be. [2524.2s] One, two, three, four. [2525.4s] Okay, here we go. [2527.6s] North, South, East, West. [2529.3s] It's gonna throw you directly to the West, [2531.4s] which is away from the ship and your friends 60 feet. [2537.4s] So you'd have to dash in order to get back [2540.9s] to your next turn. [2542.4s] And then it's going to tentacle attack. [2546.1s] Nah, it's gonna lightning storm again. [2548.1s] Yeah, that seemed to work the last time. [2550.5s] It's gonna lightning storm again. [2552.1s] It's gonna attack two of the elementals [2555.1s] and one towards Thea. [2557.9s] I love the image of a kraken just yeeting glimily. [2563.6s] What do we have to do again? [2564.9s] You gotta make a deck save. [2565.9s] Gotta beat a 23 for, you gotta roll three times. [2569.3s] So once for Thea. [2571.1s] Once for Thea, that's a 20. [2573.5s] Nope. [2577.1s] Elemental, that's a 20. [2578.9s] Nope. [2580.8s] And that's a three. [2583.3s] Okay, so everybody's gonna take, [2585.9s] the three of you are gonna take 22 lightning damage. [2588.9s] Everybody except Glim are going to take [2591.0s] another 11 lightning damage. [2593.9s] Let's go Yenbul, your turn. [2599.5s] Okay. [2601.1s] Seems like lightning's really happening [2604.1s] and cool down here. [2605.3s] So I am also going. [2608.2s] Everybody's taking damage. [2611.8s] Yes. Putting that out there. [2613.5s] It's happening. [2614.6s] Right. [2616.1s] But everybody's taking. [2617.5s] Can I cast control water? [2622.9s] There's a lot of water around you. [2624.7s] There sure is. [2625.6s] And what I'd like to do is part the water. [2628.7s] All right, Moses. I'd like to cause the water [2630.3s] in the area to move apart and create a trench [2634.1s] so that the Kraken is no longer in water. [2636.9s] It is now in a trench of air where it can, [2640.5s] I don't know, you tell me. [2641.9s] Probably not do its normal stuff. [2644.8s] Let me see what the, it can breathe air and water. [2649.1s] Freedom of movement ignores difficult terrain. [2651.1s] Imaginal effects can't reduce its speed [2652.9s] or cause it to be restrained. [2654.3s] Jesus, the one thing you'd think you could do [2657.0s] to a giant squid would be to take it out of water. [2660.0s] I'm gonna do this cool shit. [2661.9s] Oh, it doesn't affect it at all. [2663.5s] It can spend five feet of movement [2665.5s] to escape from non-magical strains or be grappled. [2668.0s] So it doesn't slow it down. [2669.7s] It would like drop to the floor, [2673.5s] which we said were pretty close to the bottom. [2675.2s] So depending on how deep your trench goes, [2677.5s] like it would, gravity would take over. [2679.6s] How much water can you move? [2680.8s] Yeah. [2682.2s] I can move a hundred foot cube. [2688.2s] Right. [2690.4s] So, I mean, you would be able to drop it [2692.9s] a hundred feet away from you. [2695.1s] Right. [2698.7s] You know, for flavor's sake, [2699.9s] we could say that a hundred feet [2701.1s] is the bottom of the ocean. [2703.4s] Sure, so he drops to the bottom of the ocean [2705.8s] and I guess nothing else happens, [2707.3s] but it looks pretty cool. [2708.4s] Well, no, because a hundred feet [2709.9s] is gonna take fall damage. [2711.7s] Oh, there we go. [2713.2s] Cause it's hitting something at least on the bottom. [2715.9s] Every 1D6 for every 10 feet it fell. [2719.3s] So that's 10D6. [2721.8s] Nice. [2722.6s] Do you wanna roll that? [2724.5s] Sure I do. [2725.6s] 35 fall damage. [2728.3s] Heck yeah. Yeah. [2730.0s] Okay. [2732.9s] Describe to me what it looks like. [2736.4s] The sickening noise. [2737.6s] The sickening noise. [2738.7s] With his crack and dies. [2740.9s] As it hits the bottom of the ocean floor. [2745.1s] Let's say it starts free falling [2748.8s] through what is now air. [2750.8s] And it looks disgusting [2752.2s] cause it's all like soft and weird and loose. [2756.3s] It's like lost its form sort of. [2758.3s] Yeah. [2759.1s] And then it falls. [2760.1s] And unfortunately there is a pirate ship [2763.4s] on the bottom of the ocean [2764.9s] and it steps right through the mast. [2767.3s] It falls right down onto it. [2769.8s] It's a real, [2770.7s] That is the best. [2771.5s] This is a real little mermaid situation. [2773.2s] I like it. [2775.4s] That's awesome. [2776.2s] That happens. [2777.9s] It explodes up. [2779.3s] And then I presume you drop the spell [2783.0s] as it gets clearer that you die [2785.0s] and like this water cascades down on top of it. [2787.8s] You all kind of survey the scene [2789.4s] and look to each other. [2790.4s] And then notice that the tethers [2792.5s] are just moving just within reach. [2795.8s] And you grab them and zip off behind [2798.4s] climbing back up into the vessel. [2802.8s] You get back inside and some time passes. [2806.3s] How does Sully's story end first of all? [2808.2s] And we were really surprised to get [2810.5s] that baby shower invitation in the mail. [2815.1s] We thought she was way past the time when she could, [2817.6s] but you know what? [2818.5s] Love is love. [2819.3s] And hopefully, you know, [2823.5s] they live happily ever after. [2825.1s] Cause I mean, we haven't seen them in a while. [2828.3s] It's, wow, that kid would be like eight years old now. [2832.8s] Damn. [2834.0s] Time flies, am I right? [2835.8s] Couple hours have passed and you're all recovering, [2839.6s] sitting kind of mending your wounds. [2843.3s] Are we? [2844.8s] Not completely, not yet. [2847.3s] And the vessel's going and there's like a disruption. [2852.9s] Like you feel it like, [2854.9s] like almost like it goes over a heavy speed bump. [2858.3s] Everybody else feel that? [2860.6s] Yeah, it's a little bumpy. [2864.5s] I don't know. [2865.8s] New territory for me. [2867.7s] It's feeling, it feels different though. [2871.7s] There's a wash of energy that fills through the vessel. [2879.1s] And what you don't see, [2880.8s] but the camera kind of zooms out of the ship [2884.2s] and up above the ocean is you've passed [2887.0s] through this barrier. [2888.5s] And on the other side of this barrier is [2892.6s] bright sunlight, a green forested island [2898.7s] and clean, clear, breathable air [2907.2s] as we look over the island of Maztica. [2923.5s] It's the end of the week and it's in a quiet space. [2926.8s] There's a little low murmured conversation [2928.9s] of Flint and his family, [2930.7s] but Flint isn't really taking part in it. [2933.7s] There's a well put together spread for a buffet [2939.5s] and Flint is seated there deep in thought, [2944.1s] looking through the crowd, through his family, [2948.8s] through the conversation, [2950.6s] just kind of mindlessly picking at the food on his plate. [2955.0s] And your concentration or lack thereof is broken [2960.1s] when hell just speaks up and says, [2962.0s] ah, you feeling all right there, Flint? [2967.3s] Yeah, it's just, I don't know, [2969.5s] had this guy in the jail, this Dragonborn the other day, [2974.0s] and he was talking like just absolute nonsense [2977.6s] about rivers and chult and somebody named Scyther. [2986.4s] I don't know, he'd been in jail for like a day and a half, [2988.5s] but he had this whole other story going on in his head. [2992.3s] Was he one of the drunk tank ones? [2994.1s] Like could he have just dreamed it up? [2997.1s] I mean, maybe, I don't know. [2999.0s] I asked him if he was one of those dream walkers [3002.6s] that you've heard about, but he didn't really answer me. [3005.9s] And then, of course, I had to let him go. [3007.6s] He paid his fine, so. [3009.3s] Right. [3010.1s] But yeah, I don't know. [3011.0s] It's just, he's just been stuck in my head [3013.1s] ever since then. [3014.7s] Did he look familiar? [3015.8s] Like maybe you knew him from some military days or? [3020.3s] I don't think so, but something in the back of my mind [3023.4s] says that he did look familiar, [3025.0s] but I can't place where he's from. [3028.0s] Maybe you'll see him around and you can ask him. [3030.0s] You know what, maybe I will. [3031.5s] I don't think he's gonna stick around town, though. [3033.6s] I don't think he had a great time here. [3036.1s] Yeah, no, that's fair. [3037.1s] Or maybe he had too great of a time [3039.0s] and then doesn't want to revisit that. [3042.1s] Yeah, that's something. [3044.6s] Hey, everything else going okay? [3048.9s] Worked good? [3050.3s] Yeah, I mean, no major complaints there. [3053.8s] Glory Gems, good right-hand man. [3056.7s] Really made some positive changes with the city guard. [3060.1s] I'm feeling pretty good about where we're at. [3062.5s] Hear your father's voice. [3063.7s] Say, past the potatoes there. [3067.7s] Reaches his hand over and as you look over his hand, [3072.2s] it gives you a start because his hand is decayed. [3077.9s] And as you kind of pull back, it snaps back [3081.1s] and he's there and he looks startled. [3083.3s] Like, is everything okay? [3087.0s] Yeah, sorry, just, I don't know. [3089.3s] I had a little, [3092.7s] a little trick on the old eyes there. [3095.9s] Here's the potatoes, sorry, there you go. [3098.1s] Oh, yeah, no, it's okay. [3099.9s] I guess I just didn't sleep well last night or something. [3102.5s] Yeah, that's just what I was gonna say. [3103.9s] Get some more sleep. [3105.5s] Don't worry about coming in tomorrow. [3107.5s] We got your shift covered for you. [3108.7s] Well, I mean, you know I love it, [3110.3s] but yeah, I might need the day off, [3112.1s] but we'll see. [3113.0s] If I have a good night, I'll head in [3116.6s] and if not, well then, yeah, maybe I'll sit that one out. [3123.5s] Do you have another there, champ? [3126.3s] Sorry, yeah, yeah, one more. [3129.9s] One more might be good. [3131.6s] Same as last time or do you want to mix it up? [3135.5s] Surprise me. [3136.7s] Okay, I love a challenge. [3139.2s] The bartender kind of turns around [3141.8s] and surveys the bottles to choose from [3145.3s] and grabs one on the right hand side [3148.3s] and it's kind of this orangey, earthy tone kind of bottle [3154.1s] and he pours two fingers into a glass for ya. [3158.9s] Says, give that one a try. [3160.5s] You might like it. [3161.7s] Port picks it up and holds it up [3163.1s] to the soft candlelight in this tavern [3166.0s] and says, all right, downs it. [3171.0s] And it's a real harsh fiery liquid. [3175.1s] It hits the back of his throat [3177.1s] and he kind of winces a little bit and closes his eyes [3181.0s] and as he opens them, he sees the mirror [3184.2s] in behind the bartender, like the glass back there [3188.5s] and looking back at him, just for a split second, [3192.8s] is that dwarf from the jail? [3195.0s] He, almost like spit takes, [3197.9s] but instead of spit coming out, [3199.6s] like this electricity shoots from his nostrils [3202.9s] and hits the tabletop which starts just a little fire [3206.3s] that he quickly pats out and says, sorry, sorry, sorry. [3209.0s] What's up there, dragon man? [3211.2s] Bad reaction to the booze? [3214.2s] Yeah, no, sometimes electricity and liquids [3217.7s] don't go well together. [3219.3s] Hey, is everything okay? [3221.9s] I think I've been an upstanding citizen today. [3227.2s] I mean, you've been all right since you've been here. [3229.0s] Yeah, what brings you to this end of town? [3232.5s] Just been thinking. [3234.6s] Mostly about you. [3236.0s] I'm flattered, I'm flattered, friend. [3238.3s] Yeah, no, I, something about our meeting stood out. [3244.7s] I can't get it out of my head. [3246.7s] Where do I know you from? [3248.4s] I know you from somewhere. [3251.7s] You've been around, you've been around Chult? [3254.0s] No, it wasn't Chult. [3255.7s] No, no. [3257.0s] You done any time, done any time, [3262.0s] any time you left the mountain? [3264.5s] Yeah, I used to be a soldier, but I don't know, [3267.1s] I just, I remember most dragonborn I've ever met [3271.6s] few and far between for a dwarf, [3273.1s] but I just, you're on the tip of my tongue, [3276.4s] I just can't place you. [3278.2s] Ever been to the library of the dead? [3281.4s] Holy shit. [3283.8s] What? [3284.7s] It's you. [3287.3s] Yeah, in the flesh. [3289.7s] What the fuck is happening? [3293.0s] I don't know, Flint, how do we get out of here? [3298.0s] First off, where are we? [3300.1s] Is this, this, I mean, this isn't right. [3305.5s] It's a perfect world, isn't it? [3307.3s] Yeah, it's a little too good. [3309.2s] Yeah, well, for some, mine's been a hellscape [3313.8s] of constant running, trying to find a way out, [3316.7s] and now I'm back to you. [3318.9s] You made that choice, though. [3321.1s] Yeah. [3323.6s] Didn't make a choice to be soulbound. [3327.3s] Okay, okay, yeah, you didn't make that choice, [3330.1s] but you made the choice to run. [3332.8s] Yeah, yeah, I did. [3335.3s] I mean, could it, I really could have used your help [3338.6s] at the Well of the Dragons, and I get why you didn't, [3342.5s] but like, things could have turned out [3344.8s] a whole lot differently. [3346.5s] I tried to make it so that you [3348.5s] could just be you, Flint. [3351.9s] But it doesn't look like the universe, [3355.5s] or the gods, or whoever wants that to happen. [3361.4s] Yeah, it's been a bit of an uphill battle. [3366.0s] So what's next?
