[0.0s] Previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[30.7s] Crashing into whatever field is keeping this place alive.
[37.4s] Airships surrounding the area and dark clouds pushing forward.
[46.2s] The sound of crashing waves is interrupted only by the moans of zombies
[52.9s] who have walked up under the waves onto the beach.
[60.0s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons, I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More, he, him.
[70.5s] Also with me today is Amy More.
[74.0s] She, her. Don't, don't worry. Don't cry about it. It's okay.
[78.6s] I'm going to say for the whole thing and none of my characters are going to die.
[81.2s] My many, many characters like Thea Amastasia, she, her.
[85.8s] Guile Nighthunter Oglokanu, they, them.
[90.2s] And Sullivan Sleight, he, him.
[93.0s] And Tom Laird.
[94.2s] That's me, he, him. I really enjoyed the Kathleen Turner vibe Russ had when we first
[100.6s] started the episode. He's kind of lost that since, but I would love for that to come back.
[106.1s] I am playing Tulgeer, who goes by he, him.
[108.7s] Flint, who goes by he, him.
[109.8s] And Moot, who also goes by he, him.
[112.2s] And Carla Maxted.
[113.9s] She, her. I will be all, all these folks. She, her.
[119.4s] We've got a Yen Bull. We've got Anelia. We've got a Glim.
[123.7s] And maybe someone else too.
[126.1s] There was an eyebrow raise there. I thought I better vocalize that because
[129.0s] this is an audio medium.
[130.7s] And joining us today, we normally say from Bombarded,
[134.5s] but he's pretty sure he's from Dumbgeons and Dragons now.
[137.1s] It's kind of classic. It is.
[139.6s] I'm thinking that's right. He, him, by the way.
[141.8s] And I will be reprising my role as Vorunax.
[147.2s] And I'm pretty sure I'm going to destroy the fucking world.
[151.6s] Oh, excellent.
[153.2s] He, him as well for Vorunax. But no, yeah, no.
[156.3s] It's starting to feel like a really good place to, I mean, I brought a suitcase
[160.6s] and I don't-
[161.4s] Yeah, settle in.
[162.7s] Just a comfy couch.
[164.6s] Yeah.
[165.0s] He's not packing the travel body wash. No, he brought the whole-
[168.5s] The full size.
[169.5s] Full size.
[170.6s] My suitcase is a moving van. I forgot to let you know. I'm sorry.
[173.6s] Oh, well, you have a lot of things.
[175.7s] Where it feels just like home is over on Patreon.
[178.6s] Patreon.com slash DumbDragonCast.
[181.2s] Holy shit.
[182.3s] To miss a beat.
[183.0s] For husbands.
[183.8s] You could be a drummer.
[185.5s] A drummer with how little beats you miss.
[189.0s] That's right. Yeah. It's all locked away up here.
[192.0s] But when you are a-
[192.8s] Oh, I was going to do it.
[196.6s] What were you going to do?
[197.6s] I was going to say, and when you're a patron-
[199.5s] No, you were trying to beat me to the beat.
[200.8s] I was.
[201.5s] But you couldn't. You just can't stop, won't stop.
[203.8s] I don't like to interrupt.
[204.7s] All right, well, go ahead.
[206.6s] And when you're a patron,
[207.6s] you get an episode dedicated to you like today's patron.
[211.0s] Kit LeBlanc.
[213.0s] Yay.
[213.5s] Oh, dang Kit.
[214.1s] Thank you, Kit.
[215.4s] Thank you, Kit.
[216.6s] You're amazing. And you look great today.
[219.3s] Absolutely. Looking good.
[220.8s] And it might be the episode where the whole world ends, but that's okay.
[224.8s] It's still a good one to have your name attached to.
[228.3s] That's right.
[229.0s] We're slated for two, but who knows?
[230.9s] You're right.
[231.6s] It could just be over.
[234.3s] And then we will love you till the end of the world.
[240.5s] This is so good.
[241.4s] Join us at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[246.2s] Where we'll love you till the end of the world.
[248.9s] And then you'll help us rebuild.
[250.7s] We'll make it better.
[252.5s] Faster.
[253.1s] Bigger. Less complicated.
[255.3s] Zero time travel.
[259.8s] I already have ideas for this new world, you guys.
[261.8s] It does not include time travel.
[263.4s] Every time I think about any future stories, I'm always like, let's time travel.
[267.5s] Not less.
[268.2s] Let's just go for zero.
[269.5s] A fraction of the time travel.
[271.8s] Fuck it.
[272.2s] Let's play.
[277.5s] Okay. So to catch everybody up, you were getting briefed by Bahamut.
[284.0s] B man himself.
[284.9s] This is everybody except Lipsynke and Vorunax.
[288.2s] Getting briefed by Bahamut about where the heck you need to go.
[292.4s] And more appropriately, when the heck you need to go.
[295.6s] And he gave it to us in rap form.
[297.2s] Did he not?
[298.9s] He did.
[299.4s] Yeah. Can we hear that rap again?
[300.6s] Break it down for us, for us?
[302.0s] We need to go back in time to save the world.
[305.3s] First, you got to go to the abyss and then remind me and Celestia.
[309.4s] It didn't have a lot of flow.
[310.6s] It was more free form.
[311.7s] Yeah.
[312.2s] Sure.
[312.5s] Yeah.
[313.1s] Time signatures.
[314.5s] Yeah.
[315.1s] Things are different in Celestia.
[316.5s] What rap is there is different.
[319.0s] It's more like our jazz.
[320.3s] So.
[320.8s] Yeah.
[321.1s] It's all about the notes he don't play.
[322.6s] Exactly.
[323.3s] Exactly.
[325.0s] We got it.
[326.4s] When, off in the distance, you didn't see until it was too late
[331.7s] because you were all inside a tent getting briefed by Bahamut.
[335.0s] But the undead army of Orcus comes knock, knock, knocking at your door.
[342.6s] You see airships high in the sky.
[345.7s] You see dragons flying towards and being careened off of this force field.
[353.3s] Some pressing through and the flesh from their bodies being torn off.
[360.6s] From the watery depths below, crawling and walking up onto the beach,
[365.9s] there are zombies and skeletons.
[374.4s] What do you do?
[375.9s] You stand there in sheer panic and fear for your life.
[387.4s] I was like running through my Rolodex of characters.
[390.3s] Yes, I was like, who's going to speak?
[391.7s] Who's going to react?
[393.3s] Yeah, you have to give us a little reaction time.
[394.7s] We all just froze.
[396.5s] We got to go through the list of.
[398.6s] Paralyze by choice.
[401.0s] Is everybody else seeing this?
[403.0s] I guess we don't really have as much time as we thought to like,
[406.7s] mentally prepare and commune and maybe just like kick it with Bahamut
[409.8s] before we had to go on our missions because.
[411.9s] This is so confusing.
[413.0s] Time travel exists.
[414.2s] Don't we have all the time in the world?
[416.1s] No, we have no time.
[417.7s] We're out of time.
[419.6s] We're Sans time.
[420.8s] High above in one of the airships, the largest of the airships,
[425.8s] we see Vorunax and Lipsynche in like a command center of sorts,
[432.2s] with like this panoramic view of the scene below.
[436.9s] The two of you have followed these refugees.
[441.7s] You found their underground sewer hideout below Castle Orcus,
[447.3s] formerly Waterdeep for those playing the home game.
[451.0s] Destroyed, sent an undead Kuth,
[453.8s] a green large formerly green dragon to wreck shit before you got there.
[459.4s] They decapitated that dragon.
[462.1s] Sad face.
[463.8s] You followed in behind and followed from a distance
[467.0s] to where you have found them at this lush green island of Mastika
[473.5s] that's seemingly untouched until now by anything that Orcus
[478.3s] or you have been dealing out across the world.
[481.3s] Could we get a cut scene where Vorunax is like weeping over the dead Kuth
[487.9s] and it's like Clarence like or you know something whatever its name is.
[493.8s] Oh Clarence, you are too young but it's okay.
[499.2s] The power of Orcus will see you rise yet again.
[503.6s] We shall see it come forth.
[505.4s] Your body once more animate with the ability of the undead
[511.0s] unless you were already undead and Orcus didn't fill me in on this
[515.8s] and that sucks if that's the case and I'm gonna have to learn.
[519.5s] Now more tears, more tears.
[521.4s] And if that's the case that really makes me sad.
[527.0s] Oh lip-synchy, console me.
[530.6s] Well the thing is his head got chopped right off so
[535.8s] I mean undead or dead I think Clarence is gone is what I'm saying whether he was
[544.1s] and I'm so sorry for your loss.
[547.9s] I saw a lot of myself in Clarence, the greenness part but
[554.6s] he shall be missed but we have things to get to.
[559.6s] No more time for mourning for it is the mourning of the end of the world.
[564.2s] Damn have you been have you been practicing that?
[567.2s] That was so good I'm so inspired let's go get them.
[570.9s] Thanks lip-synchy it kind of just came off of the tongue so.
[573.6s] Oh wow.
[576.2s] Mr. Paranox, Ms. Lip-synchy we found them they went down into the further into the
[582.0s] sewers and found some vessel I think we think we can release the Kraken on them.
[587.8s] Yes, lip-synchy please by all means give the command.
[593.4s] No I think it's your turn I don't want to be selfish plus
[596.6s] you're grieving Clarence so you know you should you go ahead.
[600.1s] I am grieving Clarence and they shall pay at the tentacles of the Kraken
[606.7s] or all the appendages of the Kraken that will slay them and then we'll
[613.0s] raise their bodies up and slay them again for their transgression against Clarence.
[618.4s] We cut back to the airship before you you see yes this lush green island it there is a
[628.2s] fount of of power coming from two locations one from the beach and one from high in one of
[638.4s] the largest mountains in this range that lie before you that appears to be powering
[644.0s] whatever is holding back your main forces from the air.
[648.3s] Well they've really upgraded haven't they?
[651.9s] It seems so.
[653.7s] From sewer to this sort of tropical paradise so
[660.5s] good for them it's gonna be even more satisfying.
[664.8s] I mean vein attempts at surviving really.
[669.4s] Well it'll just be a sewer when we're done so
[672.6s] I hope they just enjoy it for those last couple minutes.
[677.4s] It's true well with the arcane knowledge that Orcus has granted you
[683.8s] where do you think we should best lead our attack?
[688.8s] Well there's two sources of power so are you feeling more beachy
[694.4s] or more like a hiking kind of kind of mountain vibe?
[698.6s] I'm curious if one may weaken the other and if we take care of the one that's further out
[705.4s] our forces on land may be able to progress further into the jungle.
[711.3s] I like the way you think I feel like everybody's getting real close to the beach anyway
[716.7s] you know all those underwater and so maybe we should head mountain?
[723.6s] Yes I think we could survey from above since we have these dope ass airships.
[730.7s] We are in this awesome airship with this sweet console and the great view and the
[735.9s] binoculars and all that.
[739.0s] Yes we should go ahead and move forward take towards the mountain
[744.1s] mountain font and let the ground forces take care of that.
[748.0s] If there's anything that we see that's opportune along the way
[751.2s] we should strike and take advantage.
[752.9s] I love the way you think.
[754.0s] Thank you lip syncing.
[755.9s] Houndsman onward.
[758.2s] The orders called and the lead airship seen from the ground veers from its course
[764.6s] towards the beach and begins moving towards the mountain range.
[769.0s] Everybody below you see this and the four other airships follow in behind it
[774.1s] and the dragons continue their assault on this field that is protecting you at this present moment.
[783.0s] Down on the beach Bahamut puts his hand on your shoulder Thea and says
[788.9s] Vorunax is aboard.
[790.8s] Lipsinki is aboard.
[794.8s] Now is your time to strike.
[799.2s] Vorunax has had his memories altered.
[807.6s] What do you mean?
[809.4s] He has been started on this path because of Orcus
[814.5s] but he believes that the gods are the ones to have decimated his family.
[822.8s] But that's not the case?
[825.4s] No.
[827.6s] The town of Blackpool was once home to Vorunax and while away the town was ravaged
[837.7s] and attacked.
[838.5s] Everyone killed.
[839.8s] Vorunax returned and pled to the gods to bring everyone back.
[847.3s] That's not something that we do but his calls were answered by Orcus.
[854.7s] And he came to Vorunax with a vision of Pelor
[862.3s] and told him that he could bring them back as Pelor.
[868.4s] Orcus brought them back as the undead
[875.3s] which sent Vorunax into this spiral of rage and fury against Pelor and against any other god
[885.5s] who would associate himself with that.
[889.2s] Now I don't know if we can change that.
[895.4s] I don't know if we can change what has happened to him
[899.7s] but what can change is the course of Vorunax in his entire life
[907.7s] from when we send you back.
[909.9s] None of this world destruction could happen.
[913.0s] Vorunax could be redeemed.
[917.4s] Does that make sense?
[920.2s] Yes.
[922.6s] How do I get up that mountain?
[925.7s] Uh, you can follow me.
[928.4s] Alien 900, wait, I think we gotta lead them up the mountain.
[930.0s] Looks like they're going towards the, towards the, towards the, um, cat god.
[935.6s] Cat lord, he's up there.
[937.4s] The cat lord is up there?
[939.1s] Yep, that's, that's why it's so green here.
[941.8s] Cat lord hid in the mountains and has just been fond of knowledge, cats hide really well.
[947.4s] And yet you always seem to be around.
[950.0s] Yeah, uh, yeah, but you didn't notice me until that point.
[953.1s] Well, I mean, if we gotta go up, we better get going.
[956.0s] Yes, we'll, we'll take you, it's, we'll take you, there's some sort of shortcuts that we know.
[963.3s] All right, who's going up the mountain, who's staying on the beach?
[966.2s] Uh, Tullgear's going up the mountain.
[968.3s] Uh, Tullgear's going up the mountain.
[969.5s] Fia, obviously.
[970.8s] Did you just, Elia, tell that we're gonna lead them up the mountain?
[975.1s] Elia, 900.
[975.9s] Cause Opal already said that, said that.
[979.0s] Right.
[979.4s] Opal Russ already said that.
[981.0s] I did.
[981.6s] Uh, I mean, they do know the way.
[983.0s] It just makes sense.
[984.2s] I like how we're refusing to split up.
[985.9s] Like, Nighthunter should probably stay on the beach and like, fight, fight.
[988.5s] You've got three individual parties.
[989.6s] You're not splitting a singular party.
[992.5s] Right?
[993.0s] Okay, Nighthunter's gonna stay on the beach.
[994.8s] She's gonna chill on the beach.
[998.5s] They need to work on their town.
[999.3s] They make a lot of time.
[1002.8s] Opal tears off into the forest, followed by Nighthunter, Elia.
[1007.2s] I mean, he probably tears off, but then Elia quickly passes him, is more like what happens.
[1011.8s] Yes.
[1012.4s] She's so fast.
[1013.5s] Followed by Tullgear and Fia.
[1015.4s] We see them kind of pan up, running through this path,
[1018.9s] making their way to the peak of this mountain.
[1021.5s] Down on the beach, everybody left down there,
[1023.5s] just jump in as a character who's down there.
[1025.4s] What are you doing to set up reinforcements or calls to the Tabaxi Townspeople?
[1034.6s] I think that Sullivan Slyte is likely going around and telling people to
[1043.0s] get out of here, you guys.
[1043.9s] Come on, come on, move it, move it.
[1045.8s] Yeah, yeah, I know your hut's here, but look at, yeah, look at them.
[1049.5s] Look at them.
[1050.4s] Now look at you.
[1051.8s] Look at them.
[1052.4s] Now look back at me.
[1053.8s] Now look at them.
[1054.7s] Look back at me, and you should probably go, otherwise you're going to be undead.
[1057.5s] Why did I get this sword if I should leave?
[1059.6s] Well, you're going to be like the last line in defense.
[1061.6s] If they get to you, it's too late.
[1063.0s] Go, go.
[1064.2s] Okay.
[1065.0s] Sully's not sure what he's doing.
[1066.8s] He's just getting everyone.
[1068.8s] He's doing something.
[1069.7s] He's doing something.
[1070.3s] He feels very useful.
[1071.6s] Everybody looks towards Sully and sees all the Tabaxi run
[1075.9s] into the forest away from the battle.
[1078.5s] As if they wouldn't have done that anyway.
[1082.4s] Agoth was training them to be fighters.
[1084.5s] Oh, whoops.
[1086.5s] They left.
[1087.1s] Okay.
[1087.4s] So I thought that Agoth was like, I thought they were going to maybe help.
[1091.5s] I mean, I totally, it's fine.
[1092.7s] I know that it's like.
[1093.4s] Well, I thought they would just like.
[1094.4s] Or whatever, but they can still fight.
[1097.8s] You know what?
[1098.2s] It's their natural habitat.
[1100.0s] I wasn't clear.
[1102.2s] I'm just going to go back in there and just let them know.
[1105.1s] Like, to be ready.
[1107.0s] Yeah, to just be hidden.
[1109.4s] Okay.
[1109.7s] I'll be right, I'll be right back.
[1111.5s] Okay.
[1111.8s] So everybody else, I think.
[1114.4s] I mean, I look at, you know, my friends like we know what to do
[1118.9s] and it's going to be, I think, a pretty righteous battle.
[1123.0s] I'm going to pull out my holy symbol and just like
[1125.4s] do some extra communing with Bahamut.
[1129.3s] Just to psych myself up.
[1130.6s] He's right there.
[1133.3s] Yeah, I guess I can.
[1134.2s] Can I just like hold your hand for a second or something?
[1136.6s] I'm used to just sort of like focusing it all on this little piece of leather,
[1139.9s] but like, there you are.
[1141.7s] No, no, straight from the source, yeah.
[1142.6s] Okay, okay.
[1147.5s] Okay, and I take.
[1148.6s] Dear Bahamut.
[1150.8s] I mean, I don't usually, do you want it out loud?
[1153.8s] Okay, okay, so I take his hand, his hand in between my hands.
[1160.6s] Dear Bahamut, thank you for coming back and being such an awesome guy.
[1166.2s] No problem.
[1166.2s] And for the amazing, oh, you're responding.
[1170.2s] Right in it, okay.
[1171.2s] I'm not used to this.
[1173.1s] Thank you.
[1175.0s] Just bless us, protect us, and I guess pick up a sword
[1182.1s] and we'll see on the other side of this.
[1184.1s] Oh, I'm not going to pick up a sword.
[1186.1s] Okay, well, just like put a lot of power through me and I'll do it.
[1190.1s] I mean, yeah, do you have like a sword made of light
[1192.6s] or something cool like that maybe so you don't actually have to pick up a sword?
[1196.4s] You can just make your own.
[1197.5s] Are you, I don't want to be rude.
[1199.6s] This is probably an inappropriate question, but are you, is,
[1202.6s] how are you feeling?
[1203.3s] Like, could you change form or anything?
[1205.2s] Mu, Glim, and Sully, I think you're, you're closest around, like.
[1208.3s] I've come back.
[1209.5s] Yeah.
[1211.2s] What did I miss?
[1213.0s] You feel this font of energy wash through you
[1218.0s] as it's passed from Bahamut to Glim and Mu and Sully
[1223.2s] and you gain this radiant energy about you
[1226.2s] and you're going to get a game mechanic wise plus five to your attacks.
[1235.1s] Dank.
[1235.8s] Roll or damage?
[1236.7s] Five radiant.
[1238.1s] Fuck it.
[1238.9s] Roll and damage.
[1240.0s] Fuck it.
[1240.4s] Ooh, Russ is feeling like generous tonight.
[1246.4s] Roll and damage.
[1248.6s] As you begin to like glow with this radiant energy, Bahamut gives you a wink.
[1256.0s] Glim.
[1257.9s] And before you, you see this platinum dragon form as if out of the ground
[1267.7s] and shoot up into the sky going towards the undead dragons
[1272.5s] pounding against the force field, protecting the island.
[1277.3s] Okay.
[1277.6s] I know Glim had like talked him up for years and years and years, but like.
[1281.9s] Holy shit.
[1282.5s] That was pretty fucking cool.
[1283.4s] Right?
[1284.1s] So sick.
[1284.8s] It's absolutely awesome.
[1287.0s] Whoa.
[1288.0s] Okay.
[1288.6s] I'm a trauma believer.
[1290.5s] Not that I wasn't before.
[1293.0s] We cut scene as the zombies and skeletons are right behind you
[1299.1s] and you turn with your weapons and crash into them.
[1303.2s] Guts and bone flying everywhere around the three of you.
[1307.6s] Back up in the airship, you hear this roar through the air.
[1313.7s] You turn and you look through the glass in your airship
[1320.7s] and see this platinum dragon rising up from the beach
[1324.7s] toward the dragon swarming in the sky.
[1329.0s] That's.
[1329.4s] Huh.
[1329.8s] That's not one of ours.
[1332.6s] Holy shit.
[1333.2s] Is that Bahamut?
[1336.3s] Well, that's not fair.
[1339.0s] He's supposed to be.
[1340.8s] No, I thought.
[1342.1s] I thought we'd already dealt with him.
[1343.6s] I thought so too.
[1345.6s] Okay, that kind of changes some things.
[1352.5s] I mean, I guess just prepare yourself perhaps for more loss of dragons.
[1357.7s] I know you took Clarence's death real hard.
[1359.8s] So just maybe, you know, we weren't planning on a platinum dragon being here and.
[1365.8s] No, no, we will not.
[1367.4s] It's a bit of a change.
[1368.7s] We will not falter.
[1369.4s] We will hold faith in Orcus, his abilities and the plan.
[1373.9s] Stay the course.
[1376.0s] You're reaching the top of this mountain and it's like there's this pool,
[1379.8s] this well of energy coming up and out of it
[1383.4s] and almost like this funnel going back down to the peak of this mountain.
[1388.0s] And we cut down to the peak of the mountain where
[1391.0s] Telgir Thea and the God's Chosen Three have arrived
[1396.6s] and there's this opening, this cave opening just before you get to the peak.
[1403.4s] Nopal turns to you all and says, well, if you're.
[1408.1s] I'm pretty sure they're going to be be here pretty quick.
[1411.5s] Elia, Nighthunter, we should probably go.
[1413.5s] If anybody comes in and tries to get the Cat Lord,
[1416.2s] we should probably just like hold them, hold them off here.
[1420.4s] So we don't lose everything here.
[1424.6s] Yes, we will be first line of defense.
[1426.8s] We will protect the Cat Lord and the power that it provides.
[1431.6s] OK, I know.
[1432.2s] With your life.
[1434.6s] Wait, with my life?
[1436.4s] Our lives.
[1437.5s] With all of our lives, should that be necessary?
[1440.4s] OK.
[1440.9s] Yes, that is what I said first time.
[1443.2s] A formerly ancient red dragon presses through
[1447.4s] the force field and the flesh is torn off and is falling off as it as it flies down
[1456.5s] and screams this roar that isn't a roar anymore because it's like vocal chords
[1463.2s] have been all like decimated.
[1464.6s] So it's like this high pitched shrill gargle
[1469.0s] as you see its breath weapon unleash towards you.
[1474.5s] Roll dexterity saving throw, please.
[1477.0s] Oh, fuck me.
[1479.6s] Oh, no.
[1480.7s] Well, is there something magical that I can?
[1484.7s] I don't know.
[1485.2s] You made your character.
[1487.0s] I've got nothing where I can reroll a one.
[1490.2s] Oh, no.
[1490.6s] Should have saved that role for suddenly.
[1492.3s] I don't want to die for a thing.
[1494.5s] Nighthunter, no.
[1495.4s] Nobody said you would die.
[1498.2s] I did.
[1499.9s] Yeah, I mean, Kyle did.
[1502.3s] I appreciate your honesty, Kyle.
[1503.8s] OK, sorry you got.
[1505.0s] See, you got an 11, 12, 13, 14.
[1507.8s] 14, OK.
[1509.4s] And a one for Nighthunter.
[1510.7s] 17 for Tullgear.
[1512.0s] 18.
[1513.8s] OK, Opal got a 26.
[1517.3s] I have a plus nine for Dex and that was such a bad roll.
[1520.2s] So everybody except Opal are going to take 26 D6 necrotic damage.
[1527.1s] Well, I'm resistant to necrotic damage.
[1529.4s] Here you go.
[1530.8s] You know what?
[1531.2s] I just want to roll 26 D6 and let's do it.
[1534.6s] OK, 26 D6 because you don't get to do that very often.
[1538.1s] No, you do not.
[1539.1s] Oh, I apologize, Russ.
[1541.2s] I need to up my roll by two because I was looking at the wrong character.
[1546.0s] Did you beat a 24?
[1547.5s] No, I did not.
[1548.3s] Well, then it does not matter.
[1551.3s] But thanks for the update, Tom.
[1553.2s] So you're all going to take, except for Opal,
[1555.6s] who's going to take half, 91 necrotic damage.
[1559.1s] But I'm also going to take half, right?
[1560.9s] You will take half because you're resistant.
[1563.2s] What's half of 9146?
[1567.1s] As a reaction, I'm going to reduce this damage dealt to me by one D12 plus seven.
[1571.5s] Sure. Why not?
[1572.3s] Because I mean, like, I mean, this was like 100 damage.
[1575.8s] So I'm just going to minus one D12 plus seven because that'll be better than nothing.
[1580.4s] Yeah, that's pretty good.
[1581.6s] OK, 14.
[1582.6s] I'm going to take 14 back.
[1584.2s] Take 14 back.
[1585.3s] Amana, I don't need your permission.
[1588.2s] Opal dives into the cave.
[1591.6s] Everybody else tries to shield themselves unsuccessfully.
[1596.0s] Above you, you see the lead airship above this font.
[1601.0s] How would Vorunax proceed from here?
[1603.4s] Vorunax and Lipsinki, we can cut back up there.
[1605.5s] You're right above where this wellspring is seemingly emitting from.
[1610.3s] It looks like there's a path down.
[1614.5s] What do you want to do?
[1616.2s] Would our airships have a way of just dumping undead on a certain point, kind of like airdrop?
[1624.6s] I thought the exact same thing when you said we were in an airship.
[1627.1s] Like these are this is fodder, right?
[1629.4s] Like these are living, undead weapons that we can just like launch at people.
[1635.5s] Play it out.
[1636.2s] All right.
[1637.5s] Center up on this point once we've arrived.
[1642.2s] Well, you all know what to do.
[1645.1s] Now, how many?
[1646.2s] We're just going to go for it?
[1647.7s] Kind of unload the whole?
[1649.3s] I mean, why not?
[1650.2s] The rest of them have their payloads still ready to go and, you know.
[1654.3s] And we're clearly here.
[1656.6s] I mean, look at all the power coming out of this place and let's just dump a lot of them.
[1663.0s] Even if it gives us a soft landing space, it was all for the glory of Orcus.
[1669.0s] It's all for Orcus, is what I always say.
[1672.2s] Amen.
[1673.5s] Above you, down on the mountain, you see a mass of undead.
[1679.4s] First, you hear it as like these doors open, this groaning cry,
[1686.2s] as the doors open and undead rain from the sky down on you.
[1690.9s] You all have made it into like this cave opening
[1694.9s] as they hit the mountain and roll off and some of them land
[1698.6s] and they all begin climbing back up towards where you are.
[1705.2s] So you want to get up there?
[1708.2s] Yeah, we have to get up there.
[1709.9s] Okay, I haven't done it in a while, but I could teleport you up there.
[1715.7s] What do you mean you haven't done?
[1716.6s] You know what?
[1717.1s] I don't care.
[1717.8s] Do it.
[1719.4s] I'm just going to do Radiant Soul and just get some wings and just get up there.
[1726.1s] You're going to go up there too?
[1727.1s] Okay, am I teleporting two of you or are you flying one of them up?
[1731.5s] Elia, why do not we stay here and fight the horde
[1735.1s] so they do not get to the cat god?
[1738.6s] Lord, cat lord.
[1739.5s] Cat lord, sorry.
[1741.8s] Of course, you're right.
[1743.8s] I know you want to be in the thick of it.
[1746.3s] We are needed here.
[1747.7s] You're right.
[1748.3s] But take out your wings, my love.
[1750.2s] Okay.
[1750.3s] We're married, by the way, Kyle.
[1752.2s] Oh no, good to know.
[1754.6s] Now I know who to use against too.
[1755.8s] Kids got together, that's right.
[1759.4s] Whatever, player knowledge, character knowledge, Kyle.
[1762.1s] Get your shit together.
[1766.2s] Okay, ready?
[1767.9s] What were the magic words again, Elia?
[1769.6s] Do you remember what they were?
[1772.3s] You put the right one in, put the right one out,
[1776.2s] right one in, and shake it all about.
[1778.6s] Shake it all.
[1779.4s] Okay, ready, everybody?
[1780.3s] Put the right one in, you put the right one out, put the right one in.
[1784.1s] I mean, I don't love the sound of this.
[1786.1s] Snap!
[1787.8s] You find yourselves up on the deck of the airship, Tallgear and Thea.
[1802.4s] I panicked, it's the middle.
[1804.4s] Oh wow, okay.
[1805.8s] Wow.
[1807.2s] I had open a Spotify playlist that said
[1810.9s] 22 songs for your classroom school in January 2021, and I did not recognize a single song.
[1818.1s] That is a problem.
[1819.4s] Yep, I feel removed from pop culture, I think is what I'm getting at,
[1826.1s] and the general radio rotation playlist of this time last year.
[1833.4s] Yeah, that's what we're getting at.
[1836.6s] Okay.
[1837.4s] So, to help us get better with it, you can join us over on Patreon.
[1843.2s] That's a lie, we won't get better with music.
[1845.0s] We won't get better with, we all left radio for a reason, and we're all happy with that,
[1849.8s] and part of the reason we're happy with that is that we're doing this, this fun thing,
[1855.8s] and patrons help us do this fun thing that we love, and hopefully you kind of like a little bit too.
[1861.6s] Patreon is one of the many ways that we are transitioning,
[1865.6s] transitioning, or trying our darndest to transition into doing podcasts full time.
[1870.7s] Could you even believe it?
[1872.2s] I couldn't imagine, but wouldn't it be great?
[1874.1s] It would be a dream.
[1875.0s] But the more patrons we get, the closer we get to do that, the more content we get to create,
[1879.6s] and every step along the way helps us with that.
[1883.4s] We've been able to get equipment, we've been able to go on trips.
[1886.4s] We're planning, Amy just stumbled into the room.
[1888.9s] Amy might need to go to the hospital, so we won't use the money for that, but.
[1892.6s] No, we live in Canada.
[1894.6s] She's fine.
[1896.5s] But we're planning a getaway for the group here, which patrons,
[1903.0s] the money you give us is going to help that, and you know we're going to record some sweet
[1906.3s] content while we're down there and post on the socials, which we're not very good at,
[1910.0s] but maybe we'll be good at when we're in somewhere hot.
[1913.3s] We won't have anything else to worry about.
[1915.6s] No, that would be good.
[1917.1s] All of that to say, your support means the world to us, because it says that what
[1922.2s] you are listening to, you are choosing to donate some money to us because you appreciate the
[1930.1s] stories that we're putting out there, be it Dumbgeons and Dragons or Facing Fate,
[1934.4s] or DM to GM if you're one of the 12 people who listen.
[1938.8s] Thank you.
[1939.8s] Thank you.
[1940.6s] You know who you are.
[1941.4s] You know who you are.
[1942.2s] There's more than 12.

[1958.4s] depending on what you're coming there for, we've got something up there for you.

[1978.6s] Thank you so much for being here,
[1980.6s] and we will continue to make all the amazing things for you.
[1984.8s] Okay, bye.
[1992.6s] Oh my God, it worked.
[1993.7s] I thought, I swear to God, I thought we were just going to drop like,
[1996.2s] I mean, yeah, I didn't know what was going to happen.
[1997.7s] 200 feet.
[1998.0s] I mean, fairly good aim.
[2000.4s] I'm going to use my lay on hands pool and heal both of us 45 hit points.
[2006.3s] Thank you.
[2006.8s] Cool beans.
[2007.9s] Inside the airship, Vorunax, Lipsinki, you can change it if you want,
[2013.5s] but I presume like you're like kids at the aquarium,
[2015.9s] like press your face watching all of these undead falling towards the earth.
[2021.4s] It's wondrous, isn't it?
[2023.5s] Quite a sight to see bodies rain from the sky.
[2026.6s] You know, you'd think you'd get bored of it, but you just don't.
[2029.6s] I mean, look at that one just bounced.
[2031.2s] Did you see how it went so high?
[2033.6s] See that auger just rolling down the hill?
[2036.1s] That's like a variable boulder.
[2039.8s] Oh, I know.
[2041.0s] I wish he was in the fight, but he'll just pick himself up
[2043.5s] and get in the fight down at the beach.
[2045.1s] It's fun.
[2045.5s] It's going to be hilarious.
[2047.0s] Nobody's going to see it.
[2047.9s] And then out of nowhere, you hear a thud up on the deck.
[2052.4s] What the?
[2053.0s] Well, that's.
[2054.5s] That's not the way they're supposed to be coming from.
[2057.0s] That's unusual.
[2059.4s] Some soft footsteps, just not walking in any direction.
[2064.2s] Just kind of it sounds like they're just pacing on the spot.
[2068.4s] Well, maybe we've got some company.
[2071.5s] Definitely doesn't sound like undead footsteps.
[2074.0s] I think we know both know what that sounds like.
[2076.9s] Indeed.
[2078.2s] It's been a long time since we had company.
[2080.6s] Well, let's go greet them would be uncivil.
[2083.2s] Let's give them a very warm orcas welcome.
[2088.3s] Back down in the mountain.
[2091.1s] Opal, Elia, Night Hunter.
[2092.8s] Opal looks to the two of you.
[2094.1s] It's I think it worked.
[2096.2s] Yes, I think you did it.
[2098.3s] It seems like they made it there.
[2100.6s] OK.
[2101.8s] Good job, Sun Kitty.
[2105.2s] What?
[2106.2s] Thank you.
[2109.4s] No, I don't pass out.
[2111.3s] I know it's been lightheaded.
[2113.1s] You know, it's OK.
[2115.2s] It's OK.
[2115.8s] It's OK.
[2116.2s] Get it together.
[2117.2s] This is why I don't compliment him.
[2119.0s] No, you don't compliment me.
[2121.1s] It's OK.
[2124.0s] There's some coming up over there.
[2128.1s] Prepare yourself, Sun Kitty.
[2129.5s] I was going to say, where's the best hold point?
[2131.0s] Like here or further in?
[2132.3s] Like where are we?
[2132.9s] It's a choke point.
[2133.8s] Is that what they say?
[2134.9s] I mean, Night Hunter stops listening and charges
[2137.4s] and makes the oncoming onslaught of undead.
[2141.4s] OK, choke them, choke them.
[2144.7s] Cut that back down to the beach.
[2150.1s] I'm just on the floor like, why won't you die?
[2154.3s] Back down on the beach.
[2155.8s] Let's just do a quick round Robin of what everybody's doing.
[2159.5s] Moot.
[2160.6s] Moot has actually set up a wall of light on the beach
[2166.6s] where all of these like undead zombies
[2168.9s] were coming out of the water.
[2170.3s] Yeah.
[2171.5s] So as they like appear, they take a bunch of radiant damage
[2176.8s] and this wall of light actually like also shoots
[2180.2s] beams of radiant light into targets as well
[2183.5s] as they are showing up if they're maybe outside
[2186.0s] of the jurisdiction of the wall itself.
[2187.9s] Love it.
[2188.4s] So yeah, this light is emanating out
[2191.1s] and getting this massive wave pushing them,
[2196.4s] incinerating them back into the water from whence they came.
[2202.7s] Glim up in the air and flying down towards you,
[2205.5s] there's this flock of probably murder
[2209.5s] is probably a better bird term for these.
[2211.9s] Murder of rocks screaming down towards you.
[2216.6s] I don't know.
[2217.1s] Flock of rock is pretty good.
[2221.9s] Glim is just has the Vorpal Longsword
[2225.9s] and just is taking them as they approach
[2231.9s] to try to be beheading them.
[2236.2s] Love it.
[2236.7s] Because that's a good way.
[2237.9s] It's just your signature go-to move.
[2239.7s] It's a good way to get rid of a lot of rocks,
[2244.8s] a lot of flock of rocks.
[2246.7s] That's right.
[2247.9s] We see Glim almost jumping up on top of them
[2253.2s] and beheading them as they're falling.
[2255.6s] So you're rising in the air as this is happening
[2258.8s] and it's like you're riding them down towards the beach.
[2262.0s] It's so badass.
[2264.8s] But as you're riding back down to the beach,
[2266.9s] one of them is coming in behind you.
[2268.9s] Make a Dex saving throw, please.
[2273.2s] 18.
[2274.0s] One of them catches you in the back
[2276.8s] and pushes you forward.
[2278.3s] You're going to take nine piercing damage
[2282.0s] as you fall down towards the ground.
[2284.5s] Kyle, how high up is Glim at this point?
[2287.4s] I would probably say if it's a murder,
[2290.7s] they'd probably be spiraling.
[2291.9s] I'd say maybe like 80 feet.
[2296.2s] All right.
[2297.7s] So we're going to roll 8d6 for fall damage.
[2303.0s] You're going to take 35 bludgeoning damage
[2307.1s] as you hit the ground below.
[2309.8s] Up in the sky, we see Bahamut being swarmed
[2313.5s] by all of these undead adult and ancient dragons
[2317.5s] that have broken through the threshold.
[2320.8s] The power is just not strong enough
[2322.8s] to hold them back anymore.
[2324.3s] Flint, you are groggily waking up
[2329.3s] from the earthquake that has happened,
[2332.8s] and your eyes crack open,
[2335.6s] and the entire city of Mithril Hall
[2337.7s] before you has fallen.
[2340.7s] The cave around it has crashed in down around you.
[2346.0s] You look over and you see Bort
[2348.1s] and you see a bunch of other people
[2349.8s] and you see a bunch of other people
[2350.9s] and you see a bunch of other people
[2352.3s] You look over and you see Bort
[2355.6s] covered in a pile of rubble before you.
[2358.2s] You don't see any other people
[2360.3s] or hear any screams or anything.
[2362.9s] It's eerily silent at this point.
[2366.5s] I'm going to go try and get the rocks off my butt.
[2372.5s] Sorry.
[2373.2s] You said rocks off.
[2375.9s] I did.
[2379.1s] You begin pulling these huge stones
[2381.7s] off and pull drag him away from this rubble.
[2387.4s] It looks like he's uninjured
[2390.5s] as his eyes begin to open.
[2392.8s] What happened?
[2394.4s] You know, I don't really know.
[2396.4s] The city is destroyed and you're okay though.
[2400.8s] You look okay.
[2402.4s] I feel fine.
[2405.9s] I mean, that's great news.
[2407.0s] You okay?
[2408.5s] I think so.
[2409.9s] At that, there's this beam of light
[2413.3s] comes from the roof of this cave
[2415.2s] down to the center of town.
[2417.8s] Does that normally happen?
[2420.4s] Nope.
[2422.5s] Usually when I've seen things like this before
[2424.4s] it's like the start of a quest.
[2427.6s] Maybe this is the way out of whatever dream
[2431.3s] dream-hopping we're doing.
[2432.6s] Oh, you know, that's a good call.
[2434.8s] It probably is.
[2436.7s] I guess.
[2438.0s] Are you see there?
[2439.1s] The two of you run off hopping over this rubble
[2442.0s] and climbing up over these fallen buildings.
[2444.0s] Flint, you're looking around
[2445.1s] and you're not seeing any other remains,
[2447.8s] any other people, any other injured, anything.
[2450.8s] Like the city is empty now
[2453.9s] where to you a moment ago
[2456.4s] it was fully populated.
[2459.3s] You get to where this light hits the ground
[2462.4s] and there's this pedestal in the center of town
[2465.1s] and everything around it is clear.
[2468.9s] You go and look at the pedestal
[2470.6s] and look up through the light
[2472.4s] and you see it kind of begin to flicker.
[2476.4s] Wait a moment and the light begins to dim
[2480.9s] and then you hear this call
[2483.2s] like this echoing roaring call
[2488.5s] as a dragon comes into view above you and Bort.
[2496.5s] Bort immediately begins to stumble back
[2499.6s] Flint like grabs his axe.
[2502.0s] It's not his first,
[2503.7s] not his first rodeo when it comes to dragons.
[2505.9s] Flint, you grab your axe and this dragon
[2508.3s] as it comes more into view
[2509.8s] as this giant black dragon
[2512.7s] and it lets go its breath weapon down on you
[2515.6s] as we cut back out to the deck of the airship
[2522.6s] where Thea and Tallgear are standing.
[2525.0s] All right, so what's the game plan?
[2527.9s] Okay, so I was given a little insider information
[2531.8s] from Bahamut that we can use
[2534.8s] to hopefully change Vorunax's mind on this whole thing.
[2541.1s] Now, with that, I feel more confident about that
[2546.3s] but Lipsynche is a little bit of a wild card there.
[2549.6s] We didn't know her for very long,
[2551.2s] lost her in a portal.
[2552.9s] She suffered for years and, you know, hell.
[2556.2s] So like, not 100% sure, might have to kill her.
[2562.1s] Don't want to, but.
[2564.3s] Sure, no, like we're aiming to get,
[2566.7s] we're aiming to convert both of them, right?
[2568.7s] Yes.
[2568.9s] That's the plan?
[2569.6s] Yeah, but if all else fails, chop chop.
[2572.6s] All right, is there like,
[2574.4s] do we have like a code word
[2576.0s] for if we think things are going south
[2578.0s] and it's like go time?
[2579.8s] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.
[2581.2s] We should think of a code word.
[2582.9s] How about Dragon Ball?
[2586.1s] Yeah, I mean, it sounds good to me.
[2589.6s] It's one of those ones that, you know,
[2590.7s] doesn't normally come up in conversations
[2592.8s] so it'll really stand out.
[2594.1s] Yeah, okay, wait, was that not the idea?
[2597.5s] Should we choose one that's more?
[2599.2s] I don't want it to just accidentally pop out of my mouth
[2601.6s] and then you cut them down.
[2602.4s] No, we want it to be a very specific word.
[2605.3s] I could work that into a conversation.
[2608.7s] Sure, yeah, okay.
[2609.6s] All right, I'm really nervous.
[2611.6s] If you say that, I'm going to hit them
[2612.8s] with everything I've got.
[2613.7s] Oh, no, and I expect you to,
[2615.1s] and I know that would be a lot.
[2616.4s] Diplomacy first, hacking flashing second.
[2620.7s] No, I'm all on board if we can get them.
[2622.8s] Just if you think we're not going to be able to,
[2625.4s] you just let me know.
[2629.6s] Hey Vorunax, I got,
[2631.7s] you remember that thing that I did
[2634.0s] that one time with the thing and with the,
[2637.1s] I'm just, can I just do a thing?
[2639.0s] Oh, yes.
[2640.0s] Just when we, because I think you're going to like it.
[2644.7s] I'm excited to see it.
[2645.7s] I'm ready to do a thing as well.
[2648.6s] So when we approach them,
[2651.0s] or I guess I shouldn't speak for Vorunax,
[2653.3s] when Lipsynche approaches them,
[2655.2s] they don't know because, you know,
[2657.2s] this is her ship, she knows her way around,
[2659.5s] sneaks up and is going to cast maddening darkness
[2664.6s] where they are on the deck.
[2666.0s] So magical darkness spreads from a point.
[2669.1s] It's very dark.
[2670.4s] Dark vision can't see through it.
[2672.0s] There's a lot of shrieks and gibbering
[2673.9s] and mad laughter within this sphere.
[2679.2s] So that's sort of my entrance
[2684.2s] as Lipsynche.
[2685.4s] Or it's not because you don't even see me
[2687.2s] because you're in this maddening darkness.
[2689.1s] It's cacophonous sound of laughter and shrieks
[2692.1s] and cries and complete and utter pitch black
[2696.6s] envelops you, Thea, and Talgear.
[2699.2s] I bet they weren't expecting that.
[2700.8s] They weren't.
[2701.2s] Talgear?
[2702.1s] And to follow it up, bust out the Wand of Orcus
[2705.7s] and I cast Circle of Death,
[2707.7s] which has a 60 foot range or a 60 foot area.
[2712.8s] And since I know I can't see the center of that
[2714.8s] and everything, I'll just focus it
[2716.3s] as close to it as possible.
[2718.0s] Okay.
[2718.4s] And that would require them to make
[2720.2s] a constitution saving throw DC 18.
[2723.5s] I rolled a 20.
[2724.8s] Nice.
[2725.5s] You'll take half as much damage then.
[2727.2s] Oh, that's better than all of it.
[2729.3s] And I rolled a 23.
[2732.1s] Perfect.
[2733.2s] Let me roll my 8d6.
[2735.5s] That is going to be 33.
[2737.2s] Halved would be 17 necrotic damage.
[2740.9s] Beck.
[2741.6s] Whoever's going to go needs to do something
[2744.3s] at the beginning of their turn, so.
[2746.0s] Okay.
[2746.5s] I guess I'll go first.
[2747.6s] Now, are we unclear as to where they're located?
[2751.1s] Yeah, you're in the maddening darkness.
[2752.6s] They like plinked up like the staircase
[2754.8s] just behind you and were peeking through
[2756.4s] the door on the floor.
[2758.7s] So you didn't see them.
[2759.7s] So before you do anything,
[2761.0s] maybe make a wisdom saving throw.
[2763.2s] I can do that for you.
[2764.3s] I do have a plus nine, which is pretty great.
[2766.1s] Oh, that's good.
[2766.5s] 25.
[2767.9s] Okay.
[2768.2s] So you're going to take half 8d8 psychic damage.
[2771.5s] And is it still dark?
[2772.7s] Super dark.
[2773.2s] Oh, it's still dark.
[2774.2s] It's scary.
[2774.9s] So dark, so scary.
[2776.3s] 38, so half.
[2777.6s] So 19.
[2779.6s] Yes, 19.
[2781.5s] Perfect.
[2782.0s] I guess the chatting part of the program
[2785.0s] was forgotten by you guys.
[2787.1s] Well, we didn't know what your plan was.
[2789.3s] Yeah, I don't know who's married to who.
[2793.0s] Well, you know, we're married.
[2794.5s] I don't know.
[2795.0s] Could be.
[2796.2s] Russ, I have a skill called cleansing touch.
[2799.8s] Cool.
[2800.2s] I love it.
[2801.2s] Which I can use my action to end one spell on myself
[2804.9s] or on one willing creature that I touch.
[2807.7s] Does that include their spells that are affecting us?
[2811.7s] I think so, because, yeah.
[2813.7s] Yeah, you can just end spells.
[2815.7s] Yeah, if it succeeds and or if it succeeds,
[2818.8s] I would I would say that, yeah.
[2820.8s] I mean, it isn't even a thing I have to roll for.
[2822.6s] It's just a thing that happens.
[2825.7s] Cool beans.
[2826.3s] Do it, baby.
[2827.7s] I'm going to I'm going to reach out and touch Thea
[2831.0s] and I'm going to use cleansing touch
[2833.2s] and stop the crazy darkness spell from messing with her.
[2838.9s] Okay.
[2840.4s] Yeah, you stumble through and you bump into what you presume
[2844.8s] is Thea, because I don't think either of you ran around
[2846.9s] really fast in the last half a second.
[2848.5s] That's not what you do when you plunge into darkness.
[2852.5s] You don't just run around on an airship on an airship
[2857.5s] for that matter.
[2860.9s] Teleport me back.
[2862.7s] Just shoot me right back up there.
[2864.5s] The darkness and the whispers end for Thea.
[2868.4s] So, Thea, you I would say you can see obscured
[2872.8s] as if like dark vision.
[2874.1s] So like grayscale, not full vision back.
[2877.9s] And the whispers and screams and madness goes away.
[2881.1s] If that seems fair for everybody.
[2883.5s] Sounds good to me.
[2884.5s] Except for the whispers and screams and madness
[2886.5s] of all the undead that are just getting
[2888.1s] bailed out at the bottom of this airship.
[2893.7s] My favorite.
[2894.4s] That happens.
[2896.2s] Is there anything else that Tallgear can do?
[2899.9s] I mean, let's see here.
[2901.4s] He probably has some bonus actions.
[2905.7s] Nope.
[2906.0s] Two weapon fighting seems to be his biggest bonus action.
[2908.5s] So, okay, he does have some spells,
[2912.9s] but I will hold on to those for
[2915.8s] when I get to stop that on myself.
[2918.1s] Right.
[2919.1s] So you look around.
[2919.7s] Thea is no fucking idiot.
[2921.6s] And she is going to continue to act as though she can't see shit.
[2929.7s] Vorunax, Lipsinki, can I talk to you guys for a sec?
[2936.0s] Do we want to parlay in any way?
[2940.9s] Well, I don't know.
[2944.1s] I don't not want to talk to them.
[2946.3s] Listen, I'm not going to lie.
[2947.3s] I think we've got this in the bag.
[2948.6s] Let's entertain them.
[2952.5s] A little bit.
[2953.8s] Aren't you a little bit curious to find out how mad they were
[2956.9s] when they finally got out of that pyramid
[2958.9s] and they found out all that time had passed
[2961.5s] and they'd been stuck in that pyramid the whole time
[2964.2s] and we were taking over the world?
[2966.1s] I know.
[2966.6s] I think it's hilarious that most of the things that have happened
[2969.6s] have been because of their own doing.
[2972.4s] Like, literally, they've kind of caused all of this.
[2976.3s] I don't know how far I would have gotten
[2977.8s] without them coming into town
[2979.3s] and, you know, letting you out and letting...
[2983.7s] It may not have ever worked out.
[2985.7s] I never would have even ended up in the abyss
[2988.4s] if I hadn't gotten, you know, taken into that portal.
[2992.4s] So it's really all thanks to...
[2994.1s] I mean...
[2995.4s] Well, then we should do it out of thanks to them.
[2997.2s] Yes, in gratitude for bringing Orcus more fully into our lives.
[3003.6s] Indeed.
[3004.5s] Uh, yeah, we could chat.
[3008.8s] Or you could do it for Aesir.
[3012.7s] What do you know of Aesir?
[3016.5s] Open the door full on.
[3018.9s] Kicks the door open.
[3021.3s] As the door opens, Thea turns and says,
[3027.1s] Well, I want them to listen.
[3038.7s] Nah, sometimes you just have to tie a person down
[3041.7s] to make them listen.
[3043.9s] So you guys have to make a wisdom saving throw
[3047.1s] or be paralyzed and have to listen to my diatribe
[3049.9s] for the duration.
[3050.3s] I'm a lot more sympathetic to people
[3052.4s] when they tie me up first.
[3054.8s] Yeah.
[3055.4s] Totally.
[3056.3s] Hey, hey, they came out swinging first.
[3058.7s] I have to also show that, you know.
[3060.8s] I have advantage, so it was an 18.
[3062.9s] I'm playing the game.
[3063.2s] Oh, and an 11, so 18.
[3064.9s] Same.
[3065.3s] I rolled a four and a six, which puts me at a 19.
[3069.1s] So like nothing happens.
[3070.1s] I wiggle my fingers at you and I'm like...
[3075.0s] That's what I say.
[3076.8s] And then I say,
[3078.3s] You don't think you know what you know.
[3081.0s] I don't.
[3082.1s] I don't know what that means.
[3083.4s] What is she talking about?
[3085.3s] I don't know either.
[3086.2s] You speak in riddles, Thea.
[3089.3s] Get to your point.
[3090.3s] Is it intriguing enough to maybe take down the darkness?
[3094.1s] Let us talk for a moment.
[3095.4s] Do you have any liquor?
[3096.5s] I mean, is the darkness even affecting you?
[3098.1s] Because you literally just cast a spell on me, which...
[3101.3s] Oh, no.
[3101.7s] I mean, it's so scary.
[3103.4s] It's very, very loud.
[3104.7s] You can see me.
[3106.0s] I can barely hear you.
[3107.2s] You literally targeted me, so...
[3108.7s] I can see you.
[3109.4s] Fine.
[3110.3s] No, I can see you.
[3111.0s] You guys...
[3111.6s] But tall gear, too.
[3112.2s] All right.
[3112.9s] Fine.
[3113.8s] All right.
[3114.4s] Just hear me out.
[3115.2s] And then, you know, if we can keep fighting and I won't like,
[3118.5s] you know, pull any shitty things on you,
[3120.1s] like we'll just like full out,
[3121.3s] like really give ourselves a run for our money.
[3123.6s] Okay?
[3124.5s] You saw what I did to Shamalama Bing Bong with this wand.
[3129.3s] I mean, I didn't see it.
[3131.2s] I don't know who you are.
[3132.9s] I don't know who you are.
[3133.7s] Oh, this is...
[3135.0s] Okay, sorry.
[3135.8s] Introductions.
[3136.8s] Tall gear.
[3137.9s] This is Vorunax and Lip Sinky.
[3140.1s] I mean, I figured.
[3141.8s] Well, but I mean like,
[3143.5s] really, an introduction is necessary.
[3145.8s] In their young years, they have accomplished so much.
[3149.6s] Oh, I mean, well that's...
[3150.9s] True.
[3151.5s] That's...
[3152.1s] We really have written the Orcus Corporate letter
[3156.9s] right to the top.
[3157.7s] Lip Sinky, hold it.
[3158.8s] We are not roles to be buttered.
[3160.7s] Oh, well...
[3161.9s] Hey, I mean, who else butters your role?
[3163.8s] Well, we've got a...
[3165.5s] That's private.
[3169.0s] Yeah, I mean, that's private.
[3170.5s] That's what I was going to say, too.
[3172.7s] You're a dirty birdie and I like it.
[3174.5s] Okay, so about this liquor.
[3175.7s] You've got any anywhere?
[3178.1s] You know what?
[3178.7s] And then, and Thea pulls out a wineskin
[3181.4s] and takes a swig and is like,
[3182.6s] anybody, this is going to be heavy, y'all.
[3184.7s] This is going to be heavy.
[3186.0s] Vorunax, you especially, like for you, for sure.
[3188.5s] If it is as heavy as you say it is,
[3190.9s] then I'd rather be in my right mind to understand it.
