[0.0s] previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[30.0s] I'll be taking to Orcus's court directly.
[34.0s] Is Flint even in there?
[35.0s] Honestly, I'm not sure.
[38.0s] If we survive this, I don't want to see you again.
[43.0s] Okay.
[44.0s] One last question for Grancis.
[46.0s] Can you make like some kind of dimensional hole for me to put this thing in?
[50.0s] And I hold up the Wand of Orcus.
[52.0s] I can make it invisible and then they can't find it by magic,
[56.0s] but I don't know how Orcus finds things.
[60.0s] Well, I can do this thing where I can like summon an elemental and it has a box
[65.0s] and then we can put a thing in the box and it can send it to a person or creature in another plane.
[71.0s] I do not have Elia's hair, but Opal sheds like literally everywhere.
[77.0s] Push it towards Vorunax.
[79.0s] I put the wand in.
[81.0s] And I snap it closed.
[83.0s] It snaps and it's gone.
[86.0s] And it sounds like when you send an email.
[91.0s] Cut to a grand chamber entrance.
[97.0s] There's this huge goat head figure on the face of this door.
[103.0s] And as you approach it, all of you, Vorunax leading, Lipsinkie behind,
[110.0s] and the rest of you in ropes loose enough for you to get out of.
[114.0s] The doors swing open and there's this, this inhalation into the room.
[121.0s] Like air is just being let back in.
[125.0s] There's this huge burning fire in the center of this chamber
[130.0s] and darkly lit on the other side is this massive shadowy figure
[137.0s] who's inset on this huge skeletal throne.
[142.0s] And this resonant echoing voice echoes out through the space.
[148.0s] Vorunax.
[154.0s] Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.
[157.0s] I'm your dungeon master, Russ More.
[159.0s] He, him? Also with me today is Amy More.
[165.0s] Yeah, she, her.
[167.0s] And I'm playing Thea Amastasia, she, her.
[170.0s] And also Guile Nighthunter Oglokanu, she, they.
[174.0s] And Carla Maxted.
[177.0s] She, her. Loving Amy's energy.
[180.0s] Hating Russ's tone.
[182.0s] And playing Lipsinkie, also she, her.
[185.0s] Tom Laird.
[187.0s] That's me, he, him.
[188.0s] I am playing Flint, he, him.
[191.0s] And yeah, really digging the energies we got going on here early.
[196.0s] And Kyle Claset.
[199.0s] Excited to be here, he, him, and I can't wait to play Vorunax
[203.0s] and take down the vile villain that is Orcus.
[208.0s] Wink?
[210.0s] If you turncoat on us, I will find you.
[213.0s] We're coming to Texas.
[215.0s] You gotta throw a wink in there.
[218.0s] And also could I stay with you?
[221.0s] After I murder you, can I stay in your house?
[224.0s] Yeah, I think that's how the law works.
[227.0s] Maybe I could couch surf and maybe you could take me to see some things and then we'll settle this.
[233.0s] And an ass whooping.
[234.0s] Then yeah, it's proper.
[236.0s] Where you'll get the recorded play-by-play of Amy maybe going to Kyle's house and couch surfing,
[242.0s] going to some barbecue places, seeing the sights, and then kicking his ass in audio form.
[247.0s] Which is a lot of like, huh, huh, oh, oh, get off my face, kind of thing.
[252.0s] It's going to be over at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cats.
[256.0s] Sure it is.
[258.0s] Ross is always looking for bonus content, so.
[263.0s] Always.
[265.0s] If we can make it happen, we'll try it.
[267.0s] You also get an episode dedicated to you when you're a patron of ours.
[270.0s] Like today's patron, Tavi Tragas.
[274.0s] Thanks Tavi.
[275.0s] Thanks Tavi.
[276.0s] I love the alliteration.
[278.0s] I know it's so good.
[279.0s] I'm so sorry about what's about to happen.
[281.0s] Almost certainly, but maybe not.
[283.0s] Maybe not.
[284.0s] I mean, we don't really know.
[285.0s] We really have no idea.
[286.0s] Maybe Tavi will be like our good luck.
[289.0s] Guys, the rest is still unwritten.
[292.0s] Oh.
[293.0s] Are you Natasha Bedingfielding us right now?
[296.0s] Oh, you really are.
[297.0s] You know it.
[298.0s] Yeah.
[300.0s] Join us today at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast.
[303.0s] And now fuck it.
[304.0s] Let's play.
[305.0s] I'm like on the edge of my seat.
[307.0s] And then, oh, okay.
[308.0s] Yeah, we're good.
[309.0s] The suspense.
[313.0s] Yeah.
[314.0s] I know.
[315.0s] Yeah.
[316.0s] I really wanted to bring in a bubbly energy to completely just juxtapose a Russ's guy
[321.0s] going on.
[322.0s] I loved it.
[323.0s] No.
[324.0s] Yeah.
[325.0s] Nobody requested.
[326.0s] No, thank you.
[327.0s] No.
[328.0s] I don't need to come into it with negativity.
[330.0s] We're going to try our best.
[332.0s] We're pushing that out.
[334.0s] Say no.
[335.0s] That's right.
[336.0s] No.
[337.0s] Not today, sir.
[338.0s] Not today, Satan.
[339.0s] Not today.
[342.0s] There's a cackling.
[345.0s] Cackling?
[346.0s] Crickling Creek.
[347.0s] Oh, God.
[348.0s] There's a creek.
[349.0s] Another creek?
[350.0s] There's a creaking cack.
[351.0s] Creaking a cack.
[353.0s] You hear the sound of echoing footsteps as our heroes walk towards two massive, large
[364.0s] thrown doors with the image of a skull's head carved into the bone that it is created
[372.0s] out of.
[373.0s] Question.
[374.0s] Is it massive or is it large?
[377.0s] The sconces on the walls are flickering with a deep, dark purple that illuminate the area
[388.0s] with this sickening glow.
[391.5s] As you approach the door, Vorunax, you do something to prepare yourself before you enter into
[399.0s] Orcus's throne room.
[401.0s] As I go ahead and begin conjuring an elemental just to make sure, show that we have a good
[407.0s] force taking care of these vile do-gooders.
[413.0s] And I am going to summon forth an earth elemental.
[417.0s] At the back of the group, the ground begins to heave.
[421.0s] This elemental comes forth following behind you.
[425.0s] It looks to Vorunax for direction.
[430.0s] I just, I tell it, stay behind us.
[434.0s] Watch these prisoners.
[436.0s] Wink.
[437.0s] There's this groaning, echoing, earthquake-like rumble that comes from its chest.
[444.0s] And the doors, as you turn back to them, begin to swing open.
[450.0s] The chamber before you is large.
[454.0s] Almost, you lose the edge of it as you begin to walk in, as it begins to get too dark to see.
[464.0s] There's an almost magical darkness surrounding the edge.
[468.0s] But on the periphery of your vision, you see glimpses and flits of what you would
[478.0s] believe to be demonic creatures hiding in the shadows.
[484.0s] At the center is this roiling, fire-filled pit.
[493.0s] This purple and black flame licking up and out over the edge of this pond-like lip.
[504.0s] On the other side, hidden in shadow, is this massive throne.
[513.0s] And at first you don't see anybody sitting on it.
[518.0s] But after a moment of you stepping in and around the flame, you see movement of an arm as this voice echoes out.
[528.0s] Welcome home, Vorunax.
[532.0s] My Prince of Undeath, Lord of Spectres.
[537.0s] It's a shame they call you the Shadow that was, considering you're still here.
[541.0s] Rightfully so.
[543.0s] I bring you a gift.
[545.0s] What has taken you so long to return?
[550.0s] There were complications with that necromancer you lent power to.
[557.0s] And I learned of a complication that we should take care of early.
[564.0s] You know of the Decimators of Dragons, correct?
[567.0s] Yes.
[572.0s] Well, I bring you two of them.
[576.0s] But not the two you would expect.
[582.0s] See, the problem that they hold is not that they are heroes of this time.
[590.0s] They're heroes of a future where your plan came to fruition.
[599.0s] And they came back to try and stop you sooner.
[605.0s] I brought them to you so that I may display my loyalty in ending their lives before you, at your throne.
[618.0s] And not only do I bring this gift, I bring a potential protege.
[627.0s] Miss Lipsinki. I hold my hand out for her, Lipsinki.
[632.0s] And I give it up. Hello?
[636.0s] This is Lipsinki Pip Diggins.
[639.0s] I believe the potential you were looking for and, well, you could easily replace Shamgalar with Lipsinki.
[651.0s] Talented, through and through, seems to come to it naturally, as if she's already walked in our ways.
[660.0s] I thought I sensed something odd in the plane.
[665.0s] Do you have any reason to believe that we could expect more people to come from the future?
[673.0s] Is there anything you know of that could keep that from happening?
[680.0s] Any quest that I could go on to serve you and eliminate that possibility?
[687.0s] It seems you've brought me something that I did not foresee.
[692.0s] Your tardiness.
[696.0s] Could be forgiven once these future travelers are defeated.
[701.0s] But tell me, decimators, is it as good as I believe it will be?
[709.0s] Is it as good as I believe it will be?
[714.0s] He looks square at you, Thea.
[717.0s] Answer him.
[719.0s] Yep, probably, yeah. Yep.
[723.0s] Good.
[724.0s] Maybe better.
[726.0s] I would be remiss to not let your brother share in this victory that we've had, Vorunax.
[735.0s] You hear a cackling laugh from somewhere in the upper chamber.
[742.0s] Oh, daddy!
[746.0s] Vorunax brought you some toys, didn't he?
[750.0s] Hi, Vorunax!
[753.0s] Shangalar floats down and in the midst of all of you.
[758.0s] Well, I've been busy setting up.
[760.0s] Oh, where was I busy setting up?
[762.0s] It was Grey Pond.
[767.0s] Sludge Pool.
[769.0s] I don't know.
[770.0s] I was busy doing your job because you didn't come back and say, look, look what I did.
[774.0s] Some of us can see further down the road and understand what would benefit the Master of Empires.
[784.0s] Yes, yes, of course.
[787.0s] I mean, I set up the portal.
[790.0s] Sure, it got destroyed.
[793.0s] But I set it up and got things moving, which sent the power rippling through.
[800.0s] I put my pyramid in place, you know, the one that daddy gave me.
[805.0s] They were oddly prepared, though.
[808.0s] That was strange.
[811.0s] Oh, they're busy walking around inside of the...
[815.0s] Let's take a look and see where they are.
[817.0s] He looks into this orb in his hand.
[820.0s] They took a wrong turn.
[821.0s] It'll take them a while to dig themselves out of that.
[826.0s] So, kill them.
[828.0s] I do not take orders from you.
[830.0s] He slinks and looks up at Orcus.
[833.0s] If you're ready for it, my lord.
[836.0s] As you look at Orcus and he leans forward and his massive head comes into view,
[842.0s] you see his hideous, scarred and mottled body,
[848.0s] his two huge leathery wings spread out.
[853.0s] It's 20 to 30 feet in the sky for you.
[857.0s] His huge, clawed, hairy hands over the edge of the throne
[863.0s] and this massive goat skull over his face.
[867.0s] You see his mouth begin to move.
[871.0s] If that was the plan,
[875.0s] take them over the flame and turn them into one we can use.
[883.0s] I go over and I grab Flint by the collar
[888.0s] and just drag bringing them forward
[893.0s] and I put my blade up to his throat
[900.0s] and I say,
[903.0s] this is where you draw your final breath.
[908.0s] Throw your prayers to your god.
[913.0s] How bound are my hands?
[915.0s] Like, what's going on?
[916.0s] Oh, we tied it to where you could easily just like...
[919.0s] Perfect. Okay.
[921.0s] And what do I want to throw it at?
[923.0s] Orcus himself or like a secondary target?
[928.0s] I didn't expect ol' Shangy to be here.
[932.0s] Nope, nobody expected that.
[934.0s] I know. Fuck that guy. Jesus.
[937.0s] Because we're only fighting the biggest big vats,
[939.0s] so we should probably get some other little turd that we already dealt with.
[944.0s] Maybe if you throw your hammer at him,
[946.0s] he will be like, ah, and disappear.
[950.0s] It'd be cool if you had some spell where you were like,
[953.0s] oh, I've already beat you? Good day.
[957.0s] Yeah, yeah.
[958.0s] If you travel in time and then you run into someone you've already defeated in the future,
[962.0s] it's just like you fight them and go pew, and then they just die.
[965.0s] They're like, alright.
[966.0s] New spell.
[967.0s] Wizards of the Coast, that's for you.
[969.0s] Hit us up.
[971.0s] Positioning, so you're dragging Flint.
[974.0s] He's by the fire.
[976.0s] You're facing away from Orcus?
[978.0s] No, I imagine it more so like I've got him held out in front of me
[982.0s] and my blade pulled around to his throat.
[985.0s] Okay, so both of you are facing.
[987.0s] Yeah.
[988.0s] Okay.
[990.0s] As you say that throw,
[993.0s] Orcus leans forward.
[995.0s] Both of you see
[998.0s] around his waist that was hidden like in the rolls of flesh
[1003.0s] as he stands up and leans forward,
[1008.0s] there are these glowing skulls in what look like a
[1014.0s] ornate jeweled
[1018.0s] belt.
[1020.0s] You can count seven of them.
[1023.0s] All very similar in structure, but different colors.
[1027.0s] Okay.
[1028.0s] I'm trying to decide if Flint knew that from Vorunax
[1031.0s] or if he like remembered some lore about it
[1034.0s] to like maybe take a closer look with his hammer to these skulls.
[1040.0s] We flash back to the office.
[1044.0s] There's a diagram.
[1046.0s] Yeah, we can absolutely flash back because that wouldn't have been information that I gave to Kyle,
[1050.0s] but Vorunax would likely have had because he was part of it.
[1058.0s] We cut back to the office.
[1060.0s] So you'll see that he's got this belt with these wicked looking skulls
[1064.0s] and what those are are well, it's a
[1068.0s] God essence.
[1070.0s] In a sense.
[1072.0s] No, are they like all the same size?
[1076.0s] They're pretty uniform, but they're different colors.
[1081.0s] I'm not sure which color pertains to which deity,
[1086.0s] you know, but if you happen to take a look
[1090.0s] and you know something more about religion than I do,
[1093.0s] then that could benefit us because it could potentially chip away at whatever boon
[1098.0s] may be provided by that essence.
[1102.0s] Could I ask a quick question?
[1104.0s] It's not really relevant, but I'm just curious.
[1106.0s] So is he wearing a belt and didn't we decide he doesn't wear pants?
[1111.0s] So it's just the belt.
[1114.0s] Maybe more like a girdle.
[1116.0s] Yeah, you know, it's so funny because of course I've seen him,
[1119.0s] I've seen him, but I just I didn't I really tried to keep my eyes like kind of up there.
[1125.0s] Gotcha.
[1126.0s] Yeah. Yeah.
[1127.0s] So I'd never even really noticed that.
[1129.0s] I'm sorry.
[1130.0s] I didn't mean to distract from the planet sash.
[1133.0s] I just know it's it's understandable.
[1135.0s] He really it really has a look, doesn't he?
[1139.0s] Yeah, that's striking.
[1141.0s] One more question about these belts.
[1145.0s] If you were to destroy one of the skulls on the belt, that is,
[1150.0s] does that energy head back to the gods he took it from?
[1157.0s] What happens to that energy?
[1159.0s] That I don't know.
[1162.0s] But we can either attempt to destroy them in hopes that they return from once they came
[1169.0s] or we attempt to claim them for ourselves and try to harness them.
[1174.0s] Huh?
[1175.0s] Well, that seems like the evil.
[1177.0s] No, no, like for the power of good.
[1179.0s] For the power of good.
[1181.0s] Yeah.
[1182.0s] Like we get them on our side for good so we can kill for good.
[1185.0s] Yeah, we could get all the skulls and you could give them to me.
[1188.0s] And then I will be I will release the gods and let them return.
[1195.0s] Yeah, we're drifting.
[1196.0s] I think probably our best bet would be to break the skulls
[1200.0s] and hopefully the gods will regain power, weakening Orcus.
[1205.0s] We cut back to the throne room where Vorunax has his blade placed to Flint's neck.
[1215.0s] Orcus is looking down and this menacing rumbling cackle echoes out towards you.
[1225.0s] Do it.
[1226.0s] And as I feel Vorunax start to like bring the knife even closer,
[1232.0s] I let go of all my weight off my feet and just drop.
[1236.0s] And as I drop, I grab my dwarven thrower and throw it as best I can towards that glowing skull on that belt.
[1244.0s] Alright, this will trigger initiative.
[1248.0s] Yes.
[1249.0s] Give me your attack roll, sir.
[1252.0s] You're hitting the skulls, not necessarily trying to hit Orcus or one of the skulls at least.
[1257.0s] I am going for the skulls.
[1259.0s] Colors to say them out loud.
[1261.0s] There is a blue, a red, a green, a yellow, a brown, a pink, a black.
[1266.0s] Other than the color, all of the skulls appear very similar in construction.
[1274.0s] No real, there's no name tag on them is basically what I'm saying.
[1279.0s] Alright, yeah, I'm going to try to hit the pink skull.
[1282.0s] Okay, roll to hit please.
[1285.0s] That's a 30.
[1287.0s] Damn.
[1288.0s] Almost in an instant, Flint drops with this ranger like dexterity.
[1294.0s] And the dwarven thrower loses from his hand and you see it,
[1300.0s] there's a trail of light emanating from it as it strikes hard into one of these skulls.
[1306.0s] Roll damage please.
[1308.0s] That is 7 plus 8, so 15 damage.
[1312.0s] You hear this crack and from Vorunax and Flint's vantage point,
[1321.0s] you see the light.
[1323.0s] It doesn't extinguish, it doesn't leave, but it does feel like it is brighter,
[1329.0s] like it's emanating more clearly from it,
[1334.0s] which would lead you to believe that you've at least cracked it in some way,
[1338.0s] but it doesn't seem to have released whatever energy is inside.
[1342.0s] The thrower attempts to come back to you.
[1347.0s] Would you make, I guess, a dex check for your hammer?
[1352.0s] Maybe roll a dexterity saving throw with Flint's stats or Bort's stats?
[1358.0s] Okay, well I mean we're gonna go with Flint's stats,
[1362.0s] because since it's Flint's body.
[1364.0s] There's a couple perks and other things that I've transferred over,
[1367.0s] but otherwise I've left it there.
[1370.0s] That is a 15.
[1373.0s] The hammer hits and you hear this grunt,
[1378.0s] because it does hit into his belly,
[1381.0s] and the hammer begins to return,
[1383.0s] but in the time that you would expect it to be in your hand,
[1386.0s] you look and it's not there, and you look in Orcus's hand,
[1389.0s] and he has your hammer in his.
[1392.0s] Interesting trick, Vorunax.
[1397.0s] You really thought you could fool us.
[1400.0s] Yeah, you were carrying around a microphone for like the whole time.
[1405.0s] I was hoping I could at least pull the one over on someone who pulled one over on me.
[1410.0s] Oh, did he just look around at everybody?
[1415.0s] He did.
[1416.0s] How did he trick you?
[1417.0s] How did he trick you, Shangri-La?
[1418.0s] Oh, this is gonna hurt.
[1419.0s] How did you find yourself into his service?
[1422.0s] I was trying to seek the most power in the world.
[1429.0s] I was up against, well, him.
[1433.0s] Him.
[1435.0s] The old man there.
[1437.0s] Grancis?
[1438.0s] Yeah.
[1440.0s] And he said I could beat him into a bloody pulp
[1444.0s] over and over and over and over again.
[1449.0s] And so I did.
[1451.0s] He's actually down in,
[1453.0s] which was a real mind twist until you were like time travelers from another place,
[1457.0s] because he's down there.
[1459.0s] I just got back.
[1461.0s] Oh well.
[1463.0s] So be it.
[1464.0s] Even though we may fall on different sides of the aisle at this point,
[1468.0s] you are still so short-sighted.
[1472.0s] But you're very small, down by a big open pit,
[1475.0s] and daddy's mad.
[1478.0s] Roll for initiative.
[1479.0s] Did Shangri-La say that?
[1480.0s] God, can he stop calling him daddy?
[1482.0s] It sounded like Shangri-La said it.
[1484.0s] It sounded like, roll.
[1486.0s] Roll for initiative.
[1488.0s] Was that you?
[1489.0s] Wow.
[1503.0s] Okay.
[1505.0s] See, I got 12.
[1507.0s] Naturally.
[1508.0s] Varnock's got 18.
[1510.0s] Let's think he got nine.
[1512.0s] Nighthunter, 21.
[1514.0s] Grancis.
[1517.0s] Oh, shoot.
[1518.0s] That's a one.
[1520.0s] Plus the initiative of two, so that's a three for Grancis.
[1524.0s] He's got to read his book.
[1526.0s] What's the guy who comes last during the relay?
[1528.0s] The anchor?
[1529.0s] Yeah, that's right.
[1530.0s] Maybe that's like, yeah.
[1532.0s] I mean, Shangri-La is just bumping up, you know,
[1536.0s] pumping his tires a little bit.
[1538.0s] Maybe he's about how he's so powerful.
[1541.0s] And Orcus.
[1547.0s] Initiative bonus of 27.
[1549.0s] I'm going to get a 45 to initiative.
[1551.0s] And 13 actions.
[1553.0s] Don't forget my legendary actions and my lair actions.
[1559.0s] I forgot about the lair.
[1561.0s] Thanks, Kyle.
[1568.0s] Orcus stands up from his throne.
[1571.0s] The stale wind thumps down towards you from his wings,
[1575.0s] beating together.
[1577.0s] He puts out his hand and then pauses a moment,
[1581.0s] looks down at Vorunax.
[1583.0s] Where is it?
[1586.0s] I actually don't know.
[1588.0s] Hmm.
[1590.0s] It will be here.
[1594.0s] Nighthunter, you are up first.
[1598.0s] You have Shangalar, whose...
[1601.0s] Shangalar's position is...
[1603.0s] He's like moving around the perimeter.
[1605.0s] He's not standing still.
[1607.0s] He's trying to stay at a distance, clearly.
[1610.0s] Orcus is front and center.
[1612.0s] I feel like you guys were led up to the throne,
[1615.0s] so he's like right in front of you.
[1617.0s] Okay.
[1618.0s] Now, question about Nighthunter's sanity.
[1621.0s] Yeah, you went really hard on that.
[1623.0s] But is she still within her right mind
[1625.0s] that she would participate in the fighting?
[1628.0s] Yeah, yeah.
[1629.0s] Okay, good.
[1630.0s] I just wanted to make sure that it's not that...
[1632.0s] No, you turn on your friends kind of crazy.
[1634.0s] Oh, it better not be.
[1635.0s] Because Russ has pulled that bullshit before.
[1637.0s] I'm not here for it.
[1639.0s] Nobody's had their mind controlled at this point.
[1641.0s] At this point.
[1643.0s] Carla, I see you there.
[1645.0s] Yeah.
[1646.0s] Carla's like...
[1648.0s] Nighthunter charges forward with Corpse Grinder
[1653.0s] because this is all she knows.
[1656.0s] What does she say?
[1658.0s] She comes at, what, does she get up to, like, what, his shin?
[1662.0s] So he's probably like 20, 25 feet tall.
[1665.0s] She said 30 feet tall.
[1667.0s] Yeah, but he's up on a throne, right?
[1669.0s] Okay, I gotcha.
[1671.0s] You have perhaps hurt my ilia.
[1675.0s] And they charge forward and just like hack into his shin, I guess.
[1680.0s] I mean, you could probably reach like upper thigh at that point.
[1684.0s] Maybe, yeah.
[1685.0s] You're also a giant.
[1686.0s] Yeah, if I jump, I'm big.
[1688.0s] Yeah, you're also big.
[1690.0s] I want to go for thigh, anywhere that there's like, you know, major artery perhaps.
[1694.0s] As you get closer, you see a dangling wand between his legs.
[1699.0s] Because he's naked.
[1701.0s] Naked boy.
[1703.0s] If she can reach the dick, she'll go for the D.
[1707.0s] Okay, the first one's 25.
[1711.0s] That will hit.
[1714.0s] Look at how thin it is.
[1717.0s] Oh my god, it's happening.
[1719.0s] I did it, guys.
[1720.0s] I did it.
[1721.0s] Okay, well, I mean, that's only 11 damage.
[1723.0s] You don't hit his dick.
[1725.0s] But you do hit into his leg, and corpse grinder cuts in,
[1730.0s] and this black ichor is now coating the blade as you swing it through.
[1736.0s] And as you swing back for another one,
[1738.0s] you see the skin stitching itself where it was cut.
[1744.0s] Oh, he healed.
[1745.0s] That's not okay.
[1746.0s] She wants to hack him again.
[1748.0s] She's going to do it again.
[1750.0s] This time for a 16.
[1754.0s] A 16 does not hit.
[1756.0s] But he's naked.
[1757.0s] I know, it's wild, isn't it?
[1760.0s] It's a fucking guy.
[1762.0s] This guy.
[1763.0s] This guy here.
[1764.0s] At the end of his turn, he's going to swing his tail at you.
[1770.0s] Has he been taking his turn while I've been taking my turn?
[1774.0s] Legendary action.
[1776.0s] Fine, swing that tail.
[1778.0s] I warned you off the beginning.
[1781.0s] I did.
[1782.0s] That's a 28 to hit you.
[1785.0s] No, it doesn't hit.
[1787.0s] That's wild.
[1788.0s] It doesn't.
[1789.0s] It's wild.
[1790.0s] You're going to take 21 force damage and nine poison damage.
[1796.0s] Okay, so 30 damage.
[1798.0s] And make a strength saving throw, please.
[1802.0s] Fuck off.
[1805.0s] Hold on.
[1806.0s] Do I have some?
[1807.0s] Hold on.
[1808.0s] Hold on.
[1809.0s] Wait.
[1810.0s] Wait.
[1811.0s] No.
[1812.0s] Okay.
[1813.0s] Strength saving throw.
[1815.0s] Yeah, that's a 15.
[1817.0s] Okay.
[1818.0s] You get hit by this tail and it connects hard with you.
[1824.0s] It echoes throughout the room.
[1825.0s] Everybody else feels it in their bones.
[1828.0s] And you fly back 15 feet, almost at the feet of Vorunax and Bort at this point.
[1837.0s] You're prone.
[1840.0s] It's Orcus's lair's turn.
[1842.0s] Oh my god.
[1843.0s] Yeah.
[1844.0s] Yeah.
[1846.0s] Guys, we did bad.
[1849.0s] So right where the rest of you are standing.
[1851.0s] So that will be Grancis and Lipsinki and Thea.
[1856.0s] Yes.
[1857.0s] That's all who would be in that group.
[1858.0s] So on a 20 foot square.
[1861.0s] Oh, and some sort of elemental earth.
[1863.0s] Oh, and the earth elemental.
[1864.0s] Yeah.
[1865.0s] Yes.
[1866.0s] Skeletal arms begin sprouting up from the ground, grabbing at you.
[1870.0s] Everybody make a strength saving throw.
[1875.0s] Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
[1878.0s] 13.
[1879.0s] 21.
[1880.0s] God damn it.
[1881.0s] And Grancis?
[1882.0s] No.
[1883.0s] No.
[1884.0s] Oh, let me make one for the earth elemental real quick.
[1886.0s] Oh, yes, please.
[1887.0s] Or Grancis.
[1888.0s] So frail.
[1889.0s] 17.
[1890.0s] All of you are considered restrained until the arms disappear or until Orcus releases
[1896.0s] them.
[1897.0s] With a 21?
[1898.0s] Yeah.
[1899.0s] I had to beat a 23.
[1902.0s] I almost, I rolled almost the best I could.
[1905.0s] So I have no chance.
[1907.0s] You did very good.
[1909.0s] Oh, goodness.
[1910.0s] Vorunax, it's your turn.
[1912.0s] Okay.
[1913.0s] I'm going to use my action to cast Mirror Image on myself.
[1919.0s] Okay.
[1920.0s] And then I'm going to use my bonus action to help Night Hunter not be prone.
[1927.0s] Yep, absolutely.
[1928.0s] Cool.
[1929.0s] You can help them up on your turn.
[1931.0s] They would be 10 feet in front of you.
[1933.0s] Sweet.
[1934.0s] And so Night Hunter's back.
[1935.0s] You'll be back up on your feet for your next turn.
[1937.0s] You won't have to use any movement in order to do so.
[1939.0s] So you've cast Mirror Image.
[1941.0s] So there are four versions of you at this point.
[1946.0s] Yeah.
[1947.0s] Okay.
[1948.0s] Yep.
[1949.0s] Also, I didn't roll for it earlier, but I got a 14 for the earth elemental's
[1954.0s] initiative.
[1955.0s] Oh, thank you.
[1956.0s] They will go right after Bort.
[1959.0s] Who is next?
[1962.0s] All right.
[1963.0s] Orcus still has my hammer.
[1965.0s] Yes.
[1966.0s] Orcus has your hammer in the palm of his hand.
[1970.0s] Didn't like set it down when he was dealing with whatever was going on
[1973.0s] there with.
[1974.0s] No, he's relishing in his worthy status.
[1978.0s] Damn it.
[1979.0s] Yeah.
[1980.0s] Hate this guy, guys.
[1982.0s] I will just draw the moist tongue long sword and head over his way.
[1990.0s] All right.
[1991.0s] Going into melee.
[1992.0s] Got it.
[1993.0s] Cool.
[1994.0s] Love it.
[1995.0s] Swing to hit.
[1997.0s] First one is a crit off a 19.
[2001.0s] All right.
[2002.0s] Yeah, that's going to hit.
[2004.0s] All right.
[2005.0s] Second one is a 12 plus 14.
[2009.0s] So that's 26.
[2010.0s] Yes, sir.
[2011.0s] Next one is a 10 plus 14.
[2014.0s] That is 24.
[2017.0s] And another crit off a 19.
[2020.0s] Dang.
[2021.0s] Okay.
[2022.0s] Two crits, two hits.
[2023.0s] Nice.
[2024.0s] Give me some damage, sir.
[2025.0s] I like that we're fighting the big bad like fighting.
[2028.0s] Like with swords.
[2031.0s] So far it's like old martial arts movie style where only one of you goes up at
[2036.0s] a time.
[2037.0s] Love it.
[2038.0s] Yeah.
[2039.0s] And everyone just kind of waits.
[2040.0s] You have to be polite.
[2041.0s] See how this plays out.
[2042.0s] That's true.
[2043.0s] Also, Russ, I'd like to like keep attacking the same area as best I can.
[2048.0s] Like if it's, you know, a leg kind of same zone in the leg as best I can.
[2054.0s] Okay.
[2055.0s] So you've rushed up to him.
[2057.0s] That uses up your 30 feet of movement.
[2061.0s] You've taken your three swings.
[2063.0s] Anything else you can or would like to do?
[2066.0s] No, I'll hold there.
[2067.0s] It is the Elemental's turn.
[2070.0s] All right.
[2071.0s] The Elemental is going to try and break free of the restrain.
[2077.0s] Strength saving throw.
[2078.0s] DC 23, please.
[2080.0s] That's a 17.
[2081.0s] Not going to be able to do it.
[2083.0s] Just command it to, you know, protect the people around it.
[2087.0s] Stony Jabroni.
[2089.0s] Protect those people back there.
[2091.0s] I was drinking, Kyle.
[2094.0s] Have you been sitting on that the whole time, Kyle?
[2096.0s] No, that is a pullover from Bombarded for Tony Jabroni's Kony Stand.
[2101.0s] Thank you, Goodrich.
[2102.0s] Okay.
[2103.0s] Elemental in sentry mode, basically, at this point.
[2107.0s] Yes.
[2108.0s] At the end of the Elemental's turn, Orcus casts Creeping Death over...
[2115.0s] Are you sure he does?
[2116.0s] Yeah, I'm pretty sure he does.
[2118.0s] Over Night Hunter and Vorunax.
[2123.0s] Dope.
[2124.0s] A cylinder of swirling black necrotic energy, 60 feet tall,
[2132.0s] and a 10-foot radius rises from that point.
[2136.0s] And until the end of Orcus's next turn,
[2139.0s] creatures in that area have vulnerability to necrotic damage.
[2143.0s] Perfect.
[2144.0s] Perfect.
[2145.0s] That's great.
[2146.0s] Yeah, it's so good.
[2147.0s] Yeah.
[2148.0s] So good.
[2149.0s] Neat.
[2150.0s] It's Orcus's turn.
[2152.0s] Yeah?
[2153.0s] Yeah, it's his actual turn.
[2157.0s] He is going to attack you, Bort.
[2161.0s] Okay.
[2162.0s] With his...
[2163.0s] I have a wand of Orcus.
[2165.0s] Fuck you.
[2166.0s] Her.
[2167.0s] With a necrotic bolt.
[2169.0s] Okay.
[2170.0s] That's going to be a 22 to hit you.
[2175.0s] I mean, you didn't even need the other half of that word, Rusty.
[2178.0s] Love it.
[2179.0s] And you're going to take 29 necrotic damage.
[2181.0s] Necrotic damage.
[2182.0s] You're not inside that cylinder.
[2184.0s] But he's also going to fire two...
[2187.0s] One towards Vorunax and one towards Night Hunter.
[2191.0s] First one towards Vorunax is a 26.
[2194.0s] Okay, let's see if he hits one of my mirrors.
[2196.0s] Oh, yeah.
[2197.0s] Six or higher.
[2199.0s] 16, so one of my duplicates is gone.
[2202.0s] It takes double the necrotic damage.
[2207.0s] Does it make a big show of dying, too?
[2210.0s] I liked.
[2211.0s] Yes.
[2212.0s] We all act...
[2215.0s] And the necrotic bolt going towards Night Hunter is a 22 to hit.
[2221.0s] Shit, no.
[2222.0s] My armor class is 23, bitch.
[2224.0s] Wow.
[2226.0s] She's just middle finger.
[2229.0s] Sit on this and rotate.
[2232.0s] She's a little crass when she's crazy.
[2235.0s] I'm just going to step towards the people who are bound by skeletons.
[2241.0s] Taking an opportunity attack if you so desire, Bort.
[2245.0s] Yeah, let's do it.
[2247.0s] Just treating you as doesn't care.
[2249.0s] It's hurtful.
[2251.0s] Am I able to take another shot at that belt of his?
[2258.0s] What are you shooting with?
[2261.0s] If it requires me throwing another weapon?
[2263.0s] Sure.
[2264.0s] As he begins to move, you would still have a viewpoint?
[2268.0s] I am going to throw a spear at him.
[2274.0s] Spear goes up and you hear it connect and there's a shattering, almost glass, almost bone sound that comes from it.
[2282.0s] You see right as he's stepping over top of you, it begins to swirl around the outside of this skull.
[2290.0s] Like it's trying to escape.
[2292.0s] You hear the sound of your spear clatter to the ground and you see him lift his hand and hoof your Dwarven thrower hard into the wall.
[2306.0s] It sticks hard into it and you hear it burying into the decayed matter that makes up the wall that begins to flake off around the edge.
[2319.0s] There's a scatter and sound of many feet and screams as whatever creatures are outside your view are running around the top tier.
[2328.0s] As his turn finishes, the necrotic energy around Vorunax and Nighthunter dissipates.
[2334.0s] Thea.
[2335.0s] So I'm stuck, right?
[2339.0s] Yeah, you got to make a strength saving throw.
[2341.0s] No, they're not hurting me, they're just holding me.
[2343.0s] They are holding you and Orcus is coming towards you.
[2347.0s] Okay, cool.
[2348.0s] Nice.
[2349.0s] Cool.
[2350.0s] Okay.
[2351.0s] Oathbow.
[2352.0s] Yeah.
[2353.0s] Two actions.
[2354.0s] Do I have my hands?
[2356.0s] Bark skin.
[2357.0s] Yeah.
[2358.0s] Okay.
[2359.0s] In order to get out of this thing, I need...
[2362.0s] A strength saving throw of 23.
[2365.0s] Guys, I'd have to roll a nat 20.
[2369.0s] Okay.
[2370.0s] All right.
[2371.0s] I literally can't do it.
[2375.0s] Can we cast concentration spells because we're just being...
[2378.0s] We're just laying down being in a skeleton-y embrace.
[2382.0s] I wouldn't even...
[2383.0s] Yeah.
[2384.0s] I wouldn't even say you're laying down.
[2385.0s] No, they came up from the ground, right?
[2387.0s] I'd say they're reaching up and grabbing onto you.
[2389.0s] Yeah.
[2390.0s] So you're not prone.
[2391.0s] You just can't leave the position you are in.
[2394.0s] You might be able to teleport away.
[2396.0s] There are other options to moving.
[2398.0s] There are.
[2399.0s] And I think I'm going to use that one.
[2403.0s] Lip sync, I'm really sorry.
[2404.0s] I'll make it up to you, I promise.
[2406.0s] And she takes out her tome of thunder step.
[2410.0s] She says,
[2411.0s] Funda, Funda, Malu, Amat, Maku, Kuro.
[2414.0s] And thunder booms out and she teleports back,
[2419.0s] backward, not towards Orcus, 10 feet away.
[2424.0s] And...
[2425.0s] Backpedaling, if you will.
[2426.0s] And each creature within 10 feet of my space
[2430.0s] that I've left needs to make a constitution saving throw.
[2434.0s] 13.
[2435.0s] 15 for Grancis.
[2438.0s] Okay, 8.
[2440.0s] 18 was the save.
[2443.0s] Aw, poor Stoney.
[2445.0s] Okay, so we all take 3D10 damage.
[2447.0s] I'm so sorry.
[2448.0s] So far you've done more damage to your friends than Orcus has.
[2452.0s] Stoney is vulnerable to thunder, I just learned.
[2455.0s] Oh no!
[2457.0s] Oh, Stoney!
[2458.0s] Stoney!
[2459.0s] Protect them, Stoney!
[2460.0s] But what if they attack me?
[2462.0s] Okay, what about them?
[2463.0s] It still stands.
[2469.0s] Welcome to the middle!
[2472.0s] Hey!
[2473.0s] Here we are.
[2474.0s] We're in the middle.
[2475.0s] We just scream and then we tell you that we have friends hanging out with us
[2478.0s] because that's what we love to do too, is make new friends
[2481.0s] and then send you over to their show because they have great things going on.
[2484.0s] Hey, knock, knock, knock.
[2485.0s] I brought in this plate of gin and tonics.
[2487.0s] Wait, you're recording right now?
[2489.0s] Oh, hey, Tim.
[2490.0s] Oh, didn't see you there.
[2491.0s] Welcome to the party.
[2492.0s] Come on in.
[2493.0s] Thank you for bringing the gin and tonics.
[2494.0s] A plate of gin and tonics.
[2496.0s] Yeah, here it is.
[2497.0s] That's his signature dish.
[2498.0s] I'm not old enough to drink because I'm Malcolm in the middle.
[2503.0s] Malcolm in the middle?
[2504.0s] Okay.
[2505.0s] I get it.
[2506.0s] I'm young Frankie Muniz.
[2508.0s] Well, if you like that sort of humor, and we know you do.
[2511.0s] You obviously do.
[2512.0s] You obviously do.
[2515.0s] It's Tim, Jennifer and Mike Bachman from Greetings of Ventures,
[2518.0s] former Drunks and Dragons podcast.
[2521.0s] Wow.
[2522.0s] So good to be here.
[2523.0s] Thank you for having us.
[2524.0s] Thank you so much for having us.
[2525.0s] I mean, we've been on your show so much that we thought
[2527.0s] maybe we'd just give you a 30 second spot.
[2529.0s] So and go.
[2530.0s] Thank you so much.
[2531.0s] It's a great, great.
[2532.0s] Okay.
[2533.0s] So we like play D&D, which is like a system invented in the 70s.
[2537.0s] I think the most important thing is that we've recently started a new campaign
[2543.0s] that you can jump into.
[2544.0s] Yeah.
[2545.0s] Starting a campaign to as opposed to the inception of D&D is a better idea.
[2549.0s] Yeah.
[2550.0s] Yeah.
[2551.0s] Just like Dumptons and Dragons, we also have quite a large backlog.
[2554.0s] So if that is what you're looking for, if you've gotten through the backlog.
[2557.0s] Right.
[2558.0s] Guess what?
[2559.0s] We got another one for you, baby.
[2560.0s] Are you flying back and forth for some sort of airline miles scam?
[2564.0s] Well, then listen to all 475 episodes of our first campaign or our second campaign,
[2572.0s] which has been going for just about a year.
[2574.0s] You don't need to know anything for the second campaign.
[2577.0s] There's a few references here and there.
[2578.0s] Do you need a show that feels like a slog together?
[2583.0s] Our listeners love that.
[2588.0s] This is the exact right audience.
[2591.0s] Cut out for you.
[2593.0s] Many, many episodes long.
[2596.0s] But that's a positive, though, because when I see a new podcast that I'm into and I'm
[2599.0s] like, oh, it's got 500 episodes and they're like two hours long.
[2603.0s] Oh, hell yeah.
[2604.0s] That's what I'm looking for.
[2605.0s] I used to be a salesman at Circuit City.
[2607.0s] So I know what I'm talking about.
[2608.0s] You always start with the negative.
[2610.0s] Always be closing.
[2612.0s] It's very Glen Gary Glen Ross here is what you've got.
[2614.0s] Yeah.
[2615.0s] At the Circuit City.
[2616.0s] Yeah.
[2617.0s] It's like our show.
[2618.0s] There's a lot.
[2619.0s] Let me warn you.
[2621.0s] Yeah.
[2622.0s] If you like a group of silly characters who make bad decisions, but sometimes you're
[2627.0s] going to feel an emotion.
[2629.0s] Greetings adventures.
[2630.0s] That's where you want to be.
[2631.0s] Do you like file found family?
[2633.0s] Yeah.
[2634.0s] Do you like gay stuff?
[2636.0s] Do you like gay kissing?
[2638.0s] We got it.
[2639.0s] We got it all.
[2640.0s] I mean, if they don't like that stuff, I don't know why they're listening to
[2642.0s] our show.
[2643.0s] I don't know why they're listening to us.
[2645.0s] Get on over there.
[2646.0s] The Venn diagram of these two shows by these two descriptions is just a circle.
[2651.0s] Exactly.
[2652.0s] And that's why we're recording things together.
[2655.0s] 100 percent.
[2656.0s] Thank you so much for being here.
[2658.0s] We'll let people know where they can find you and remind them of the name.
[2662.0s] I don't think we said it nearly enough for the proper SEO.
[2665.0s] So true.
[2666.0s] Yeah.
[2667.0s] Greetings adventures podcast.
[2668.0s] If you Google that, it will come up on Twitter.
[2671.0s] We are at D&D podcast.
[2674.0s] That's right.
[2675.0s] And we're so thrilled that we have that handle.
[2678.0s] And yeah, that's probably the two best place.
[2681.0s] Instagram, we're greetings, adventures.
[2683.0s] You know, that's probably the best places to go.
[2685.0s] Right.
[2686.0s] Greetings adventures.
[2687.0s] And in your closet.
[2689.0s] Turn around.
[2690.0s] We're there now.
[2692.0s] In full surround.
[2693.0s] You can go listen to greetings adventures.
[2694.0s] Thank you so much for joining us, everybody.
[2696.0s] We hope to have you on a guest on Dumbgeons very soon.
[2700.0s] We'll do that.
[2701.0s] I only like the middle.
[2704.0s] It's usually not this time, but I just screamed at you instead.
[2709.0s] I got stage fright is what I did.
[2711.0s] Thank you, everybody, for listening.
[2713.0s] We'll get you back to the episode.
[2714.0s] Go listen to greetings adventures after this one.
[2716.0s] We'll talk to you soon.
[2717.0s] OK, bye.
[2718.0s] Bye.
[2719.0s] Brian Cranston says hi.
[2726.0s] OK, what about the skeletons?
[2729.0s] Are they also taking damage?
[2732.0s] You're damaged.
[2733.0s] That's not how that works.
[2737.0s] Fuck off.
[2738.0s] Have you ever fought skeletons creeping up from the ground?
[2741.0s] Only like four other times.
[2743.0s] Oh, well, shit.
[2744.0s] Right?
[2745.0s] I mean.
[2746.0s] One of them was you, too.
[2748.0s] Oh, yeah.
[2749.0s] Sorry about that.
[2750.0s] All right.
[2751.0s] I didn't do that.
[2752.0s] This Vorunax didn't do that to you.
[2754.0s] Not yet.
[2756.0s] Wink.
[2757.0s] Man, what if I just slit Flint's throat?
[2759.0s] What?
[2760.0s] Oops.
[2765.0s] 15.
[2766.0s] OK.
[2767.0s] 15 damage to the group.
[2769.0s] OK.
[2770.0s] To just about everyone.
[2771.0s] OK.
[2772.0s] My apologies.
[2773.0s] Oh.
[2774.0s] Oh.
[2775.0s] Oh, I could have teleported us all out on my turn.
[2779.0s] Could have said something, Grancis.
[2781.0s] You didn't say what you were going to do.
[2783.0s] You just said fuck you.
[2785.0s] Why are you a ghost again?
[2787.0s] Get it together, old man.
[2789.0s] You can talk and let us know if you've got cool plans.
[2792.0s] Sorry I was reading my book.
[2794.0s] Me, too.
[2795.0s] What are you doing next?
[2796.0s] Oh, right.
[2797.0s] Thank you.
[2798.0s] Two actions.
[2799.0s] I do.
[2800.0s] Thanks.
[2801.0s] Yeah.
[2802.0s] See?
[2803.0s] This happens.
[2804.0s] I am back 10 feet.
[2805.0s] I draw out my oath bow.
[2806.0s] I say, swift death to you who have wronged me.
[2808.0s] And I knock it with an arrow.
[2810.0s] And I shoot it at him.
[2812.0s] Is there still enough of a target where I broke his belt to be shooting at?
[2818.0s] To be shooting at?
[2819.0s] Is that stuff still hanging around?
[2821.0s] Okay, then I want to shoot at, like, I've been noticing Flort.
[2826.0s] Okay.
[2827.0s] Attacking this specific thing.
[2829.0s] I see there's damage.
[2830.0s] I shoot my oath bow at that part of him.
[2833.0s] For a 23.
[2835.0s] Guys.
[2837.0s] 23 will hit.
[2838.0s] Are you trying to hit the same one that Flort was trying to hit?
[2842.0s] Yeah, the pink one.
[2843.0s] Okay.
[2845.0s] Oh, that's max damage.
[2847.0s] 11.
[2848.0s] Which I know isn't a lot.
[2851.0s] Still max damage.
[2852.0s] Yay!
[2853.0s] The arrow flies through and strikes through the skull.
[2857.0s] And the pink aura that was floating around it
[2863.0s] bursts out of it
[2866.0s] and begins moving around the space.
[2869.0s] Flort, you see as he was walking past you where you were cutting in
[2875.0s] that the flesh on his leg was stitching itself back up
[2880.0s] almost at the same time as you were cutting into him.
[2885.0s] That slows from your vantage point.
[2890.0s] It's still occurring, but he doesn't reach down or really acknowledge it,
[2897.0s] but you see the wound remaining open longer than it was previously
[2903.0s] trying to heal itself.
[2905.0s] Okay.
[2906.0s] There's this pink energy that's floating around the room.
[2911.0s] It's up probably 20, 25 feet in this echoing chamber.
[2916.0s] You still have movement.
[2919.0s] Oh yeah, I'm going to run back.
[2921.0s] I want to run away.
[2922.0s] You want to run away.
[2923.0s] No, I want to disengage.
[2926.0s] Okay, how far are you going back?
[2931.0s] You're not in melee, so you don't need to disengage.
[2934.0s] Okay.
[2935.0s] So he's not going to get an opportunity attack on me if I'm like...
[2938.0s] No.
[2939.0s] Okay, I want to back myself up like a good amount.
[2943.0s] I want to go back like 30 feet.
[2948.0s] Okay.
[2949.0s] I don't want to be hit by Orcus.
[2952.0s] That's all.
[2953.0s] Okay, I'll give you 20 feet because then as you turn and look,
[2957.0s] you can see into the darkness and inside there are these demonic creatures
[2962.0s] that are like roiling up and out of the ground and they have these
[2967.0s] gnashing teeth that they are now reaching towards you,
[2971.0s] reaching out of the shadows around you as you move closer to them.
[2976.0s] I would like to stay out of the shadows.
[2978.0s] Okay.
[2979.0s] You position yourself.
[2980.0s] Like, no, no.
[2981.0s] And I find a healthy distance between shadow monsters and Orcus's wing.
[2987.0s] Okay.
[2988.0s] Orcus is going to swing his tail at the people.
[2994.0s] It's still...
[2995.0s] Or...
[2996.0s] Fuck this guy.
[2998.0s] Yeah.
[2999.0s] So, Grancis and Lipsynche, around you, the skeletons have shattered.
[3006.0s] They are trying to reform themselves.
[3008.0s] You are blasted to the side.
[3010.0s] You're just on the edge of this space that Orcus has created.
[3018.0s] They're reaching for you and grabbing at you, but just missing.
[3021.0s] So you're prone, the two of you, but you are outside of the reach of this space.
[3029.0s] It's Shangalar's turn.
[3031.0s] Oh, yeah.
[3032.0s] This fucking guy.
[3033.0s] I forgot he was here.
[3034.0s] There's not someone yelling daddy in the background.
[3036.0s] Daddy!
[3037.0s] You're doing a great job.
[3039.0s] Watch me, daddy.
[3040.0s] Watch me, daddy.
[3041.0s] Watch me, daddy.
[3042.0s] It's my turn now.
[3043.0s] Are you watching?
[3044.0s] Are you watching?
[3045.0s] Are you watching?
[3046.0s] Look what I can do.
[3047.0s] Are you watching?
[3048.0s] He steps out from behind the throne, and you see him, Vorunax, you catch him
[3056.0s] out of the corner of your eye.
[3058.0s] And you make an arcana check to see if you can tell what kind of spell he's
[3064.0s] casting, because you have intimate knowledge.
[3066.0s] Yeah, that's 22.
[3069.0s] You sense that he is beginning to cast Cloud Kill on your location.
[3073.0s] I'll get you to make you and it's Night Hunter.
[3081.0s] So a 20-foot radius sphere of poisonous yellow-green fog centered on a point you choose.
[3087.0s] You need to make a constitution saving throw, beating a...
[3093.0s] Unless...
[3094.0s] Unless...
[3095.0s] Unless...
[3096.0s] I react cast...
[3099.0s] Counterspell.
[3101.0s] You could do that.
[3102.0s] And I'm counterspelling at a fifth level.
[3105.0s] Okay, good.
[3106.0s] It is at a fifth level, so you do so.
[3109.0s] Perfect.
[3110.0s] He looks like he's relishing in the moment.
[3112.0s] As you see this cloud, and Night Hunter, you begin to smell this noxious fume around you.
[3119.0s] That's not good.
[3121.0s] In Varnock's cast Counterspell, what does that look like?
[3125.0s] I simply hold up, like I have a shield, like a magical shield, and I hold that up
[3132.0s] and it kind of charges at the start, or at the...
[3135.0s] On the little pearl that's on the outside of it, and it just shoots forth like
[3139.0s] a net, wrapping around the weave of magic that Shangri-La has, and then just
[3144.0s] stifles it.
[3145.0s] I love this net gun.
[3147.0s] Where does he get these toys?
[3149.0s] That is cool.
[3150.0s] I hate you!
[3155.0s] You made baby brother mad.
[3157.0s] He's always mad.
[3159.0s] He disappears quickly into the shadows.
[3162.0s] It is Lipsinkie's turn.
[3164.0s] You are prone currently.
[3165.0s] Orcus is butt ten feet away from you.
[3169.0s] Dope.
[3170.0s] His butt is ten feet away from me.
[3171.0s] Yep.
[3172.0s] Shangri-La has just disappeared into the shadows.
[3175.0s] Thea appears to be avoiding the periphery of this chamber.
[3181.0s] Well, that ten feet away Orcus has really kind of changed up what I was going to do, so...
[3190.0s] I mean, that's ten feet of freedom is what that is.
[3194.0s] I mean, but when he's so big, ten feet is real close, too.
[3199.0s] Is Shangri-La native to this plane of existence?
[3205.0s] Yes.
[3207.0s] Yes?
[3209.0s] Native to the plane that we're on currently?
[3212.0s] I guess it depends how you define undead.
[3215.0s] These are the philosophical questions of math.
[3219.0s] So, yeah, I mean, he is a lich, which makes him an undead, no longer a human.
[3227.0s] He was a human.
[3229.0s] He would be native to the material plane.
[3232.0s] Yeah.
[3234.0s] I see what you're saying.
[3235.0s] Yes, yes.
[3237.0s] Okay, well, in that case, I'm going to do what I was going to do, which is cast
[3243.0s] Banishment on Shangri-La.
[3247.0s] Hoping you'll go with me that, like, I've spent a lot of time down here, so maybe I can kind of spot him,
[3252.0s] especially since he just disappeared.
[3255.0s] He was right before me.
[3257.0s] So he needs to make a charisma saving throw.
[3262.0s] Oh, he's so fucking charismatic.
[3265.0s] Really, he does not come across all that way.
[3267.0s] He doesn't come across that way.
[3268.0s] So I was hoping that his unsettling daddy behavior would, like, not be great.
[3276.0s] He got a 16.
[3278.0s] So since he is native to a different plane of existence,
[3281.0s] he is banished with a faint popping noise and returns to his home plane.
[3286.0s] You just hear from the shadows.
[3289.0s] They'll never find me.
[3292.0s] And he's gone.
[3293.0s] Dope.
[3294.0s] That's all I can do.
[3295.0s] Fuck yeah.
[3296.0s] That's all.
[3297.0s] So he's banished back to the material plane.
[3298.0s] Just banished him.
[3299.0s] Don't worry about it.
[3300.0s] That's all I had, guys.
[3301.0s] Yeah.
[3302.0s] See ya.
[3303.0s] See ya.
[3304.0s] Well, I'm also about to die because I'm right in front, but that's fine.
[3306.0s] I'm right up there too.
[3307.0s] He's so annoying.
[3308.0s] I just like to get rid of that guy.
[3310.0s] It doesn't say a specific location.
[3311.0s] It just says the plane of existence.
[3313.0s] It just returns to its home plane.
[3315.0s] TBD.
[3316.0s] What happens next?
[3317.0s] Let's see what happens.
[3319.0s] Okay.
[3320.0s] Love it.
[3321.0s] Anything else you would like to do?
[3323.0s] If you're prone, can you, like, start digging?
[3326.0s] Bust out that shovel.
[3328.0s] I don't know if I want to.
[3330.0s] It's so gross, you guys.
[3332.0s] It would be so wet and gross and, like, ugh.
[3338.0s] Yeah.
[3339.0s] It's a bad tunnel to be in.
[3341.0s] Yeah.
[3342.0s] I think that's all I can do that makes sense.
[3344.0s] I don't need to extra provoke Orcus.
[3348.0s] Okay.
[3349.0s] Grants, it's his turn.
[3351.0s] Poof.
[3352.0s] Shangalar.
[3353.0s] Hey, where...
[3354.0s] Oh, he's gone.
[3356.0s] Okay.
[3358.0s] I guess I'll...
[3359.0s] I guess I'll use the...
[3361.0s] Should we go big?
[3362.0s] Hey, Lipsinki.
[3363.0s] Should we go big?
[3364.0s] Yeah.
[3365.0s] I'd say now's the time to shine, so...
[3367.0s] Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
[3371.0s] Swear to God if you say catnap.
[3376.0s] Are you feeling tired?
[3377.0s] So, he falls asleep.
[3379.0s] I don't think I want to cast that at ninth level.
[3382.0s] We'll save that spot for a...
[3386.0s] Catnap at ninth level.
[3388.0s] Everybody's asleep.
[3390.0s] We need to cool out.
[3392.0s] That's right.
[3393.0s] One action.
[3395.0s] Okay, he stands himself back up, taking up 15 feet of his movement.
[3399.0s] He reaches into his satchel.
[3401.0s] Just a little bit of bat poop.
[3404.0s] And a little bit of...
[3408.0s] That's sulfur, which smells very similar to the bat poop.
[3413.0s] Alright.
[3414.0s] Rubs his hands together.
[3416.0s] And his eyes begin to glow.
[3418.0s] And this huge fireball begins to form in his hands
[3423.0s] that he releases towards Orcus.
[3426.0s] It is a 20-foot radius sphere.
[3431.0s] Big ball.
[3432.0s] Orcus must make a dexterity saving throw and rolls a one.
[3437.0s] Dexterity.
[3438.0s] I can see it, you guys.
[3439.0s] Yeah, it's a one.
[3441.0s] I gotta stop rolling those.
[3443.0s] At eighth level is 13d6 fire damage.
[3449.0s] Nice.
[3450.0s] Damn.
[3451.0s] Oh, there's a whole lot of ones in there.
[3453.0s] Oh, that's a very grants us roll, but Google says.
[3457.0s] So it hits into Orcus and you smell his flesh sizzling.
[3464.0s] The flame begins to roil around him and you see it moving
[3469.0s] and getting sucked up into this red skull.
[3473.0s] And he...
[3476.0s] I mean, I say he laughs.
[3478.0s] A lot.
[3479.0s] Because he does.
[3481.0s] You foolish old man.
[3484.0s] Oh, shit.
[3485.0s] Well, I guess we got to take those out quicker, don't we?
[3490.0s] And he moves further away from the skeletal arms
[3495.0s] so as they can't grab him
[3497.0s] and begins paring something else out of his bag.
[3500.0s] Positioning himself and trying to move away from Orcus
[3503.0s] but closer over towards Varnaux.
[3506.0s] Back to the top of the round.
[3508.0s] Night Hunter.
[3510.0s] I don't think she's likely in a state
[3513.0s] that she would have really noticed the whole belt skull business.
[3518.0s] She's a hack and slash kind of person.
[3522.0s] So with Corpse Grinder, she's going to run up
[3527.0s] and start hacking at his leg.
[3532.0s] She's going to rage first.
[3534.0s] OK.
[3535.0s] They let out a scream as the veins in her neck
[3541.0s] pop blue against her pale skin
[3545.0s] and they run wild look
[3549.0s] and starts to hack at a wound.
[3552.0s] She sees a wound on his leg and she hacks at it.
[3557.0s] A 31.
[3558.0s] Yes.
[3560.0s] Nice.
[3561.0s] 12 damage.
[3563.0s] And they're going to pull the axe out all ick or gooey
[3568.0s] and do it again.
[3573.0s] For a 30.
[3576.0s] Yes.
[3577.0s] Damage on that one is 14.
[3580.0s] And then with my rage.
[3583.0s] Oh, I'm sorry.
[3584.0s] And I get to add an extra 8 damage
[3587.0s] because I get plus 4 melee damage with my strength weapons.
[3592.0s] And as they had finished slashing into his leg,
[3597.0s] she runs through his leg and so that she is now behind him.
[3602.0s] OK.
[3603.0s] So you haven't passed outside of melee range.
[3605.0s] You've just positioned yourself behind.
[3608.0s] OK.
[3609.0s] Not under his tail or right by his anus or anything.
[3614.0s] I'd say probably like ran through the legs about like maybe 20 feet.
[3619.0s] OK.
[3620.0s] As you run behind him like this groaning echo comes out
[3628.0s] from the ground, you feel it rumble
[3633.0s] and two skeletons pop up where Nighthunter's standing.
[3638.0s] Two zombies pop up where Lipsinki's standing
[3641.0s] and two ghouls shoot up into the air,
[3643.0s] one moving towards Grancis.
[3647.0s] The skeletons are going to try to attack you with their arms.
[3658.0s] That's what I imagine.
[3660.0s] They come up and they're reaching for you.
[3662.0s] That's going to be a 14 and 23 to hit you.
[3669.0s] I've got a 23.
[3670.0s] Yeah.
[3671.0s] So you're going to take five bludgeoning damage
[3675.0s] as one of these begins hitting into you.
[3678.0s] I've got resistance to bludgeoning.
[3681.0s] Two zombies by Vorunax.
[3684.0s] You are going to take two slam attacks from them.
[3687.0s] That's a natural 20 from one of them.
[3690.0s] Shit.
[3691.0s] And only a 10 from the other.
[3693.0s] 10 will definitely miss.
[3694.0s] I don't know how they handle natural 20s with mirror image.
[3699.0s] Well, it definitely hits one of your mirror image.
[3703.0s] Yeah, for sure.
[3704.0s] That's true.
[3705.0s] So now I need to get an eight or higher.
[3708.0s] I got a nine.
[3710.0s] OK.
[3711.0s] So it barrels into one of them.
[3713.0s] The other one is just kind of slamming around.
[3717.0s] And the ghoul on board.
[3720.0s] It is going to claw at you.
[3727.0s] That's another natural 20.
[3729.0s] You got to succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw.
[3733.0s] All right.
[3734.0s] Well, Khan's one of my good ones.
[3736.0s] So here we go.
[3737.0s] He's like, I already got a plus 14.
[3739.0s] I think I'm going to nail this.
[3740.0s] That's a 17.
[3742.0s] OK.
[3743.0s] So you are not paralyzed for one minute,
[3745.0s] but you are going to take 14 slashing damage.
[3747.0s] OK.
[3748.0s] And Grancis, the one that tries to hit him,
[3752.0s] only rolls a seven, which still misses Grancis.
[3756.0s] But just barely.
[3757.0s] Just barely.
[3760.0s] Right before Vorunax's turn, Night Hunter and Bort.
[3767.0s] So he casts another one of those creeping death.
[3769.0s] The necrotic energy catches the both of you in it.
[3772.0s] Vulnerability to necrotic damage
[3774.0s] until the end of his next turn.
[3777.0s] Vorunax.
[3778.0s] I'm going to start off by casting Eldritch Blast,
[3781.0s] and I'm going to target.
[3784.0s] Oh, let's go with the green skull.
[3789.0s] You hear the crack, cross between bone and glass crack,
[3793.0s] and the aura begins to leak out, even just the slightest.
[3798.0s] Which, at that one, Orcus lets out this cry of frustration.
[3804.0s] Grrrr!
[3806.0s] And he turns his body and looks towards you.
[3811.0s] This is perfect.
[3813.0s] That's going to be a 25.
[3815.0s] And he hits my last mirror image.
[3819.0s] With my bonus action, I'm going to cast Compelled Duel.
[3823.0s] So I need a wisdom saving throw, DC 18.
[3826.0s] 24.
[3827.0s] OK.
[3828.0s] Not compelled at all to duel me.
[3831.0s] That's good, I guess.
[3833.0s] It's actually good.
[3834.0s] I made a terrible choice.
[3835.0s] I didn't want to duel you at all.
[3837.0s] See, and I heard ghoul.
[3838.0s] I thought you were trying to, like,
[3840.0s] take control of one of the ghouls that was there.
[3842.0s] I got confused.
[3843.0s] If I had that wand of Orcus, I could summon some.
[3846.0s] But I don't.
[3847.0s] I don't think it'd work the way you'd want it to work.
[3849.0s] I don't think so either.
[3851.0s] All right.
[3852.0s] Anything else on your turn?
[3853.0s] I'll move to where I'm in melee range
[3857.0s] and also in a position where I'm not close to either
[3864.0s] either Night Hunter or what do we say, Flort?
[3867.0s] Yeah.
[3868.0s] Mm-hmm.
[3869.0s] Yeah.
[3870.0s] So spacing it out.
[3871.0s] Just proper, you know.
[3872.0s] Sure.
[3873.0s] OK, so we've got, like, Night Hunter's closest.
[3876.0s] Flort is kind of near the throne,
[3879.0s] and you are positioning yourself.
[3882.0s] I guess you're moving, if that's the case,
[3884.0s] you're kind of moving towards Lipsinki.
[3886.0s] That actually makes a lot of sense.
[3888.0s] I'd move towards Lipsinki and, like,
[3891.0s] get defensive in a way.
[3892.0s] Sure.
[3893.0s] Love it.
[3894.0s] OK.
[3895.0s] Bort.
[3896.0s] I look over at Night Hunter
[3899.0s] and I say, you got to go for his belt.
[3902.0s] You can reach it.
[3903.0s] You got to go for it.
[3904.0s] I'll keep these guys busy.
[3905.0s] Like, I should take it off, wear it?
[3907.0s] I think it's just too big.
[3909.0s] Break it.
[3910.0s] Just break the belt.
[3911.0s] I do like break.
[3912.0s] And I go for, like, whatever is closest to Night Hunter
[3916.0s] to free her up.
[3919.0s] Night Hunter has two skeletons on them.
[3923.0s] Well, I'm on them now.
[3925.0s] All right.
[3926.0s] First one is a 20, but dirty.
[3931.0s] Second one is a 19.
[3934.0s] That'll hit it.
[3935.0s] OK.
[3936.0s] That is 17 damage on the first guy.
[3939.0s] Skeleton explodes.
[3941.0s] And I'll throw my third attack on the other skeleton.
[3946.0s] And that's another 19.
[3948.0s] That will hit.
[3949.0s] And that's 16 slicing damage.
[3952.0s] And that is both skeletons disperse into the air
[3957.0s] they are taking care of.
[3959.0s] Elemental.
[3960.0s] Is the elemental still around?
[3962.0s] Oh, yeah, definitely.
[3964.0s] Stoney, move forward, attack.
[3966.0s] So Stoney Jabroni is going to move forward
[3969.0s] and do two slam attacks against Ol Orcus.
[3976.0s] A 13 and an 18.
[3979.0s] The 18 will hit.
[3981.0s] And that is 13 bludgeoning damage.
[3984.0s] So Elemental is up close and personal with Orcus presently
[3989.0s] as it is Orcus's turn.
[3992.0s] There Orcus is going to shoot.
[3997.0s] No, he's going to swing his tail towards Vorunax,
[4001.0s] who's now in range.
[4004.0s] That's going to be a 34 to hit you.
[4009.0s] So you are going to take 21 force damage, 9 poison damage
[4013.0s] and make a strength saving throw.
[4016.0s] OK.
[4017.0s] That's a 17.
[4020.0s] You get hit by this tail and you slide back closer
[4023.0s] towards the flame behind you.
[4025.0s] But you move forward, so it's not really that bad.
[4029.0s] And then two necrotic bolts go out,
[4031.0s] one towards Bort, one towards Night Hunter.
[4033.0s] First one towards Bort.
[4035.0s] It's going to be a 33.
[4039.0s] Just a smidge got me by just a smidge.
[4042.0s] So 29 necrotic damage flies out at you,
[4045.0s] but that's doubled because you're vulnerable at present time.
[4049.0s] So that's going to be 58 necrotic damage.
[4052.0s] Shit.
[4054.0s] Night Hunter.
[4055.0s] No.
[4057.0s] That is only an 18 to hit you.
[4061.0s] Oh, it does hit me.
[4062.0s] All right.
[4063.0s] You do not take 58 necrotic damage.
[4067.0s] I didn't want to.
[4068.0s] Wow.
[4069.0s] I didn't want to.
[4071.0s] I get it.
[4073.0s] He is going to...
[4074.0s] Helicopter.
[4076.0s] Helicopter.
[4077.0s] Yeah, baby.
[4078.0s] Terrifying and inappropriate in the middle of a battle.
[4081.0s] Very much so.
[4082.0s] What a display of dominance.
[4086.0s] He's going to...
[4088.0s] You see him take one of these...
[4091.0s] Take one of these skulls off.
[4093.0s] It's going to be the...
[4096.0s] He's going to take the one that is leaking credit,
[4098.0s] the green one.
[4100.0s] And he pops it in his mouth
[4103.0s] and bites down on it.
[4105.0s] And you see his eyes light up
[4109.0s] and this aura wash over him.
[4113.0s] Thanos energy pulls,
[4116.0s] just screams up,
[4118.0s] which raises the volume in this room
[4123.0s] to immense proportions.
[4125.0s] Everybody make a constitution saving throw
[4127.0s] as every creature that you can't see,
[4129.0s] but now know is there,
[4132.0s] screams from what you can only describe
[4138.0s] as the stadium around you.
[4141.0s] 25.
[4142.0s] 26.
[4143.0s] 21.
[4144.0s] 18.
[4145.0s] Nighthunter.
[4146.0s] Oh, shit.
[4147.0s] Fucking Jesus.
[4149.0s] Six for Arthia.
[4151.0s] If you rolled lower than a 22,
[4155.0s] you are now deafened.
[4157.0s] Shit.
[4158.0s] Huh?
[4160.0s] I don't know.
[4161.0s] I can hear Nighthunter's babbling.
[4165.0s] Anybody close enough to him,
[4166.0s] which would be those in melee range,
[4170.0s] so the four of you,
[4173.0s] you see as this energy washes through and over him,
[4179.0s] the wounds on his legs stitch themselves
[4182.0s] completely back up,
[4183.0s] like in the instant that he bit into this thing.
[4187.0s] Cool.
[4188.0s] Yeah.
[4190.0s] Sorry about that.
[4192.0s] You got to do what you got to do, Russ.
[4195.0s] Fia, it's your turn.
[4198.0s] First, she's going to take out her serpentine jade owl.
[4210.0s] Take Guacamole, I need you.
[4213.0s] And her giant owl appears to come join the fight.
[4217.0s] So as I let loose Guacamole and she appears,
[4224.0s] I'm running at the same time and I jump onto her back
[4228.0s] and she swoops by Orcus and she has fly by,
[4235.0s] which means she does not provoke an opportunity attack
[4238.0s] when it flies by within an enemy's reach.
[4240.0s] Fuck you, Russ.
[4241.0s] It was coming.
[4242.0s] I know it was.
[4243.0s] I saw you with your dice.
[4244.0s] I got this.
[4245.0s] And as Guacamole swoops close,
[4252.0s] she's doing like snowbird type things, right?
[4256.0s] Fia drags her hand across Orcus's yuck body.
[4263.0s] And I'm not trying to body shame Orcus.
[4265.0s] You do you, but like all sorts at you.
[4269.0s] And casts Contagion.
[4273.0s] OK.
[4274.0s] What does Contagion do?
[4276.0s] It says, my touch inflicts disease.
[4279.0s] I'm going to make a melee spell attack against my creature.
[4284.0s] And on a hit, the target is poisoned.
[4290.0s] I'm going to take a lucky point, a luck point,
[4295.0s] and I'm going to try that again.
[4297.0s] So it's two.
[4299.0s] OK.
[4300.0s] Twenty five.
[4301.0s] Twenty five hit.
[4302.0s] OK.
[4303.0s] So at the end of each of the poison targets turn,
[4308.0s] they must make a constitution saving throw.
[4311.0s] If you succeed.
[4312.0s] What if he's not poisoned?
[4315.0s] So he just succeeds, and he's no longer poisoned?
[4319.0s] He has a condition immunity where he cannot be poisoned.
[4323.0s] Well, now I know that, then.
[4326.0s] Yeah.
[4328.0s] Sorry, guys.
[4329.0s] I was trying to blind them.
[4330.0s] No, I loved it.
[4331.0s] Yeah.
[4332.0s] OK.
[4333.0s] Fine.
[4334.0s] Fia's unhappy.
[4336.0s] OK.
[4337.0s] OK.
[4338.0s] She looked super cool, though.
[4340.0s] For sure.
[4341.0s] So sick.
[4342.0s] The owl, and the running, and the incredible.
[4345.0s] OK.
[4346.0s] So Fia's still on Guacamole's back,
[4351.0s] and she is going to do another flyby
[4357.0s] and try to smash with her scimitar one of the skulls.
[4366.0s] And now there's not a damaged one, right?
[4368.0s] Pink one is gone.
[4369.0s] Green one is gone.
[4370.0s] Here, green was eaten pink.
[4372.0s] Aura is in the air.
[4375.0s] OK.
[4376.0s] I don't know what that means.
[4378.0s] I'll figure it out.
[4379.0s] I'll figure it out.
[4381.0s] Go get it.
[4382.0s] Give me 12 hours in a journal, you guys.
[4384.0s] You come read my book with me.
[4386.0s] We'll figure it out.
[4387.0s] We're going to figure this thing out together, Granza.
[4389.0s] OK.
[4390.0s] So I'm going to try to smash it with my scimitar.
[4393.0s] For a 27.
[4396.0s] OK.
[4397.0s] Hits.
[4398.0s] Cool.
[4400.0s] Oh, fuck off.
[4401.0s] Four damage.
[4402.0s] And sorry, which color did you say?
[4404.0s] Blue, red, yellow, brown, black.
[4407.0s] Blue.
[4408.0s] OK.
[4409.0s] OK, that's the end of Fia's turn.
[4412.0s] But Guacamole has a turn, and instead of attacking,
[4421.0s] Guacamole flies, with the encouragement of Fia,
[4426.0s] up to the pink mist.
[4430.0s] Well, fly into the pink misty stuff and just be like,
[4433.0s] what's this?
[4434.0s] And also well out of the reach of Orcus.
[4436.0s] OK, you fly up into it.
[4437.0s] Yeah.
[4438.0s] And that's where your turn is going to end.
[4441.0s] Cool.
[4442.0s] We will find out what happens to you on your next turn.
[4446.0s] It's going to be great, you guys.
[4447.0s] I'm probably not going to die.
[4449.0s] I believe.
[4450.0s] I think you're going to get super healthy.
[4451.0s] I think it's going to be great.
[4453.0s] We get some sort of magic power.
[4455.0s] It's Shangalar's turn.
[4456.0s] Above.
[4457.0s] What?
[4458.0s] We cut away to a small village.
[4465.0s] And he previously stated was tiptoeing through the shadows.
[4473.0s] We cut to the middle of a town square where he is now standing
[4476.0s] in like a frozen position.
[4478.0s] He's like, son of a bitch.
[4481.0s] And he casts.
[4482.0s] Take back seas.
[4484.0s] Take back seas.
[4486.0s] There was no take back seas.
[4490.0s] He is going to cast Plane Shift.
[4493.0s] Yeah.
[4494.0s] And in this, because he's not going to do it in a nice way,
[4499.0s] he's going to in like this fiery eruption of energy from the
[4507.0s] center of this town square.
[4510.0s] He vanishes and there's this huge explosion.
[4515.0s] We cut back to the abyss and immediately looks at you,
[4519.0s] Lipsinki.
[4520.0s] That was not nice.
[4522.0s] I was busy hiding.
[4524.0s] Nobody could see me except you.
[4526.0s] I'm coming for you.
[4528.0s] And I missed the helicopter.
[4530.0s] And I missed daddy's helicopter.
[4533.0s] It's a girl's face.
[4538.0s] Coming for you.
[4540.0s] Lipsinki.
[4541.0s] It's your turn.
[4542.0s] Shangalar staring you down like he's fifth.
[4547.0s] I guess he might not have.
[4549.0s] He's probably got control over where he is inside of the abyss.
[4552.0s] He goes back to the throne.
[4553.0s] He's like standing right up beside the throne,
[4555.0s] pointing down at you.
[4557.0s] Yeah.
[4558.0s] I'm going to I'm going to deal with you again in just a minute.
[4561.0s] Yeah.
[4562.0s] One fool me once.
[4563.0s] Shame on me twice.
[4565.0s] Not going to happen.
[4566.0s] Bitch.
[4567.0s] Freddy Krueger.
[4570.0s] That'd be more like bitch.
[4575.0s] I guess what I'll do is boring,
[4578.0s] but it needs to be done.
[4581.0s] I'm just going to Eldritch Blast at the skulls.
[4586.0s] I guess I'll just pick one for all four,
[4590.0s] and it's going to be blue.
[4594.0s] That's what I hit.
[4595.0s] Yeah.
[4596.0s] Do it.
[4598.0s] Yes.
[4600.0s] Into the blue and it shatters,
[4603.0s] but not enough to break it.
[4605.0s] And the aura is swirling around it.
[4608.0s] Where am I physically?
[4610.0s] I feel like last time I did not move away from Orcus.
[4613.0s] I was just chilling there by the bones.
[4615.0s] Yeah.
[4616.0s] Pretty sure you're still by Orcus.
[4618.0s] Vorunax is standing in front of you.
[4619.0s] Yeah, I don't know.
[4620.0s] Where am I going to go?
[4621.0s] We're surrounded by a stadium full of shrieking demons,
[4625.0s] and it's fine.
[4628.0s] Here I am.
[4629.0s] We can't even yell things at each other anymore,
[4631.0s] because I'm deaf.
[4632.0s] I can't even.
[4633.0s] Yeah.
[4634.0s] Night Hunter is the only one who can hear stuff.
[4637.0s] And she's fucking crazy.
[4638.0s] I mean, nobody.
[4640.0s] Yep.
[4641.0s] That's fair.
[4642.0s] OK.
[4643.0s] Grants us, baby.
[4645.0s] There's several people around Orcus right now.
[4648.0s] He's going to try and hit Lipsynche with his tail attack.
[4653.0s] It's going to be a 26 to hit.
[4655.0s] That'll certainly do it.
[4657.0s] OK.
[4659.0s] 21 force damage, 9 poison, and a strength saving throw, please.
[4663.0s] Yikes.
[4664.0s] Oh my god.
[4665.0s] How many is that?
[4666.0s] 21 plus 9, 30.
[4669.0s] And a strength saving throw.
[4672.0s] 20, dirty.
[4674.0s] OK, you're knocked back five feet, but not prone.
[4677.0s] Wait.
[4678.0s] You got a 24 because you're within 10 feet of me.
[4681.0s] Oh, yeah.
[4682.0s] I got a 24 because my best bud, Vorunax, is there.
[4685.0s] Yeah.
[4686.0s] You take that tail hit, and don't move a muscle.
[4691.0s] From his bag, Grants us again looks like he's now
[4699.0s] trying to read from the book and is like holding this diamond
[4704.0s] in his hand.
[4705.0s] And Shangalar kind of catches it out of his eye.
[4708.0s] He's like, he can't even remember his spells.
[4711.0s] And he hurls this chromatic orb towards Orcus, who is going
[4718.0s] to make ranged spell attack.
[4721.0s] That's a 29 to hit.
[4724.0s] And it's going to be 10d8 thunder damage.
[4731.0s] Yikes.
[4732.0s] This chromatic orb flies up and strikes into Orcus's chest.
[4737.0s] And there's this rumbling thunder that echoes out.
[4742.0s] And you hear and feel the footsteps from beyond the shadows,
[4749.0s] almost like they're turning around you now.
[4753.0s] Orcus is going to take 42 thunder damage.
[4756.0s] Oh, not immune to thunder, I see.
[4758.0s] The shadows around you, you see Shangalar up by the throne,
[4763.0s] and he kind of waves his hand.
[4765.0s] And the shadows around you go away.
[4769.0s] And it lets loose the whole cathedral around you.
[4778.0s] And there are these winged creatures high up in the rafters
[4782.0s] and these demonic monsters, like ogres sized down
[4788.0s] to humanoid or skeletal figures.
[4793.0s] And they all begin rushing down towards you.

[4886.0s] Out of her bag, she pulls out her Tom of Thunder step and she opens it up and she says,
[4896.0s] Sorry, you guys. Oh, no, wait. No, she doesn't. Hold on. Wait.
[4903.0s] Hold on. Hold the fuck on everybody.
[4905.0s] I don't give up yet.
[4907.0s] Everybody crack the cyanide tooth.
[4911.0s] No, I just don't want to the office. So if you put this in your mouth,
[4918.0s] I don't want my buddies to take like 3D 10 Thunder damage who are around.
[4925.0s] Just just because they're sitting there.
[4928.0s] I might kill lip sync. Thunder.
[4932.0s] Any quest that I could go on to serve you and eliminate that possibility.
[4942.0s] I figure if we find out if there's an answer, if there's an answer to that,
[4948.0s] then we can go destroy that.
[4950.0s] I like that. I like that.
[4952.0s] Erasing shit or something. I don't know.
[4954.0s] No, it was just great. Great thinking.
[4957.0s] Maybe like BRB and then like teleport is all.
[4962.0s] I got it.
[4963.0s] Yeah. Can we just send ourselves on a side quest and like totally kind of bypass?
[4969.0s] I could make them work for us, work with us.
[4971.0s] They seemed like they wanted to at one point.
