Introduction and New Year Greetings
00:00:23
Speaker
If I didn't know any better, Willie, I would say you haven't been paying attention.
00:00:39
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop and a very Happy New Year to you all. We are a live play by the D&D Podcast set. It's New Year. New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. New Year's
Hans Uber's Vow of Revenge

00:00:55
Speaker
But anyway, we are a Live Play 5e D&D podcast set for one more magical time in the homebrew world of Gumpelton. Now, last week on Christmas Eve, our Heroes of Christmas redefined what it is to be a hero of Christmas once more. However, in all the fury and majesty of the Christmas season, they never stopped to wonder what casualties there could be of installing an inter-mountain railroad between Gumpelton and the
00:01:25
Speaker
mountainside in. They didn't stop to think what would happen to the Uber company and its owner Hans Uber. Well Hans Uber is back and he's back with vengeance. You could say he's back to die hard with vengeance and he has promised that something is going to happen on New Year's Eve. He's told the party to meet him at the top of the Christmas tree.
00:01:50
Speaker
the hour before midnight. He probably didn't say that because I forgot, but that's when they need to be there.
Character Introductions
00:01:56
Speaker
Before midnight on New Year's Eve, he's told them that Gumpleton will bear witness and the heroes of Christmas will bear witness to his power. With me tonight to stop Hans Uber, we have
00:02:12
Speaker
Will, who plays. I'm sorry. Right. You get it wrong. Cut me some slack. All right. Anyway, I wrote down. It was a bear witness to bear witness to bear witness. Anyway, you're bearing witness to mighty fine adventurers tonight. And with us tonight, we have Will, who plays the total druid noodle.
00:02:39
Speaker
Should old acquaintance be forgot? We also have with me today playing Fumble Snowdrop, who happens to be some form of barbarian fairy. James. Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs. Playing whatever Willy is wants more some form of known druid thing we have Ian. What up?
00:03:10
Speaker
Playing bells here with his majestic reindeer we have Callum only this time minus 4,000 sorcery points. Welcome to the party pal. And last but no means least we have our one-time DM Mark who is playing the Goliath fighter prancer. Just to fly in the ointment hands a monkey in the wrench the pain in the ass
00:03:34
Speaker
There we go, good stuff. A week has passed since Christmas Eve. And as the residents of Gumpleton get ready for a fantastic New Year's ceremony, as the Christmas tree of this year prepares to serve its final function, as the fireworks platform is attached to the top of this tree, we find our adventurers not wishing to ruin the spirits of the town. Gathered around the fire in Rudolph's Rest,
00:04:03
Speaker
Everyone else in the town blissfully unaware of the danger of Hans Uber.
Heroes' Playful Banter
00:04:12
Speaker
They sit there with their drinks and they contemplate a host of things. You glance and you look up at each other. And the big question is, who's going to break the silence? Why are you looking up, you big?
00:04:37
Speaker
I have some questions. Some that I don't understand. My first one being Hans Uber. He announced that in the sky. How come no one else heard it except for us?
00:04:55
Speaker
That is a good question. Hmm, funny one. Anyway, I'm going to suspend my disbelief anyway. And as you say that, what happens is Fuzzy Jumper just pushes on with another round of drinks onto the table. I believe you could answer that one. When you were talking to the town and I set the video feed over, he was able to switch the video feed so only us at the top of the mountain could hear it. Quite terrible though, what he wants to do, wouldn't you say?
00:05:20
Speaker
It's quite convenient as well. It's as if the DM really didn't put that much thought into it. I know, I'm picking your brains. It's nice to turn the table and to make the DM sweat once in a while that isn't me. Anyway, Mr. Total Jumperman, did you get a double Rudolph special for me? Oh, I certainly did. And he just pushes it over to you. No, it's the one that looks like a martini. That's the one, that one, thank you.
00:05:49
Speaker
As you don't bother to stop this glass if it falls off the table. Sorry about that. My nog! You've just broken my nog! He's going to send the next one over. Oh, I didn't catch that one. Sorry, I'll pay for the damages. Okay then. So, what are we going to do about hands? Simple. We crush his skull.
00:06:15
Speaker
Yes, I like it. We crushed Skull. Well, he crushed Skull. I can't crush Skull. When you freeze, you freeze him and I crush the frozen Skull. Okay, I like it. Better idea. I grab him somewhere and freeze him and you crush Skull.
Plan to Confront Hans Uber
00:06:29
Speaker
Yep. Teamwork. That's the plan. What about the others that feel like we could do this just us? No, it's... You had them.
00:06:36
Speaker
No, we need the total. It's a very good thing for healing us. And the fire is very powerful. And he jumps and makes a jumping powerful telescoping around. And Balthazar, I guess, should come along because, fuck, who knows? The deer is handy.
00:06:56
Speaker
Yeah, whatever. I'll still piss on it later. I keep cleaning that off. Would you please stop doing that? I hate to interrupt, but your dear did create quite a bit of a doozy in my reception. I apologize for the damage to the reception. What does doozy mean? Oh, when you go to the toilet and you don't take a number one, but instead you take a number two. Excuse me, Mr. Total Man. Didn't we just save your life? Be grateful!
00:07:26
Speaker
I mean I took a literal doozy in the kitchen that day so it's not a problem because I was actually really scared of those trolls and I'm really grateful for what you did. Good and I also want to just add that I think we should let the fairy do whatever it wants.
00:07:40
Speaker
Yes, agreed. Yes, you're terrified. OK, so we all have plan. I freeze, you bash and... Very smash. Oh, very good. I see what you do. A symbol at the moment has come down from her rage. And one of the fun side effects of her coming down from her rage is she gets some sugar cravings. So her drink is quite literally a cup of sugar syrup. Amazing. And she's just kind of there shaking and just like go put it down.
00:08:13
Speaker
Yes, I think that's a great idea. Bring more festive cheer to that awful Hans Uber. Yes. There's some things that you need to know about Hans Uber. He used to be the main way of getting up the mountain to the old hotel up there, but unfortunately my trainer put him out of business. And he swore revenge on the town and he said he would bring
00:08:39
Speaker
What he said, he would bring our happiness crashing down on this note. I don't know what that means. Wait, wait, one minute, one minute. Are you saying you bad guy? Because you stole his business. No, not at all. I just wanted to put in a system where people could get up to the top of the mountain and not have carbon emissions. I think that's a pretty noble... Ah, so you're green.
00:09:01
Speaker
All right, that's me. Green is Michelle. Did you let Hans Uber know your plan? Not Michelle, not back. Did you let Hans know your plan? What my plan? I went to Mabel, who was able to put in place the paperwork. And we told Hans that we could work together. And he instead said that I would hurt his profits. And he said that he would, quote unquote,
00:09:31
Speaker
come back and bring our joy crashing down on us. So you thought good idea to go ahead with stupid plan, and now you bring doom of Hans Uber on all of us. Expect us to sort it out. I see you. I see that you understand things perfectly. Yes, that's exactly what happened. Long time to think. Was alone for a long time. Oh, there you go. Three hundred and fifty five days.
00:10:01
Speaker
And of course, what brings more festive cheer than commercialism? Absolutely.
00:10:18
Speaker
As you can see, well let's not get too political here. This party is above board and within the restrictions and there's nothing going on here. Did you have party last Christmas? Nope, last Christmas I was magically vanished along with the rest of the town. You had no party, okay. I have no problem with you then. Then how come I saw a video with Rudolf laughing?
00:10:47
Speaker
I had the mountain side in along with Ben. No, you don't understand. I was up there in the flat above the mountain side in and I was completely unaware of what was happening below. Anyway. That makes sense, doesn't it? Uber. How do we kill him?
00:11:08
Speaker
Let's get off whatever rabbit hole we were going down.
Journey to the Christmas Tree
00:11:12
Speaker
You are going to be very dated. Yes, Hans Umber. I believe he said that he would be at the top of the tree. Get to the top of the tree. Noodle, you can teleport. Can you just teleport us up there and we will be there now?
00:11:28
Speaker
Noodle's just kind of licking the top of an envelope of a letter he's just been writing, folding it up and just kind of heads over to Fuzzy and says, can you just send this down to my mum please? I need to get her now. I'm going to be away for another night. I can't teleport very far. It's just about, well, about 15 feet really. That's how far Buff gets me. It's about 200 feet up to the top of the tree. I'm sure our fairy friend could just fly us most of the way.
00:11:52
Speaker
That's true. Well, you are of a much taller stature than me, especially you, Panzer.
00:12:02
Speaker
Wait aren't we on train? Like can't you fuzzy man take us up there? Isn't that why you built this thing in the first place? Well I can take you to the top of the mountain but won't take you to the top of the tree. I can't! Where is tree? Where is top mountain? Well now allow me just to point out of the window. As you can see we have a town square and in the middle of the town square is the giant tree. If you look beyond the tree you will see the mountain wherein you were staying.
00:12:28
Speaker
So he said, meet at top of tree. Make no sense. Why not meet at bottom tree where we can stand? Well, I don't think he's doing this to be civil from the sounds of it. He did threaten to burn up the town. Yes, not very festive at all. However, if you do recall,
00:12:48
Speaker
Old Uncle Bill's ship will get you up to the top of that tree. Look at this split. How big is tree? This must be big tree. 200 foot. Oh, wow. Me only four foot. That's like 196 foot taller. If I didn't know any better, Willie, I would say you haven't been paying attention.
00:13:17
Speaker
For someone whose life we just saved, you are very, very bitchy at the moment. Oh, I know. I know. I'm sorry.
00:13:27
Speaker
Yes, I'm just... It's having Ian in a podcast, I know, I know exactly how that feels. Yes, this Ian is a right dick. So, Mr. Shellman, we had to meet Hans Uber at the top of the tree at... 200 foot tree? 200 foot tree? At the centre of town? In the centre of town? At midnight?
00:13:49
Speaker
I'll turn the hour before midnight, I believe is what he said. So 11 o'clock. Well, obviously, as I say, I perform. I get confused easily. And we can take the ship. Well, you'd have to ask old Uncle Bill about that. We will take the ship. We will not tell Uncle Bill, we will just take the ship. By force! I know of a way onto ship that nobody knows. We don't have to tell Bill anything. I know how to get on.
00:14:16
Speaker
Maybe we just go and ask Bill, because I think that might take longer than one episode to get on the ship if we steal it. My whole backstory is under a whole assumption I made it on the ship. Backstory, a little bit silly. Backstory. He made this up, listeners. Five minutes into that episode. Not even five minutes. It was during the introduction of the first episode.
00:14:45
Speaker
Sorry, let us go find Bill. Absolutely. To Bill. Let's go to Bill. Oh, should I tell everyone? Sorry, Noodle. What do we need? Do we need to evacuate the town or should I just let them know that everything's fine and that you're doing? Oh no, wouldn't want to ruin their Christmas. It's New Year. It's New Year, exactly. Yeah, we're sorted. Thank you.
00:15:09
Speaker
Do let them party on. It'd be a big explosion in the sky. It'd be fine. Big firework. Okay, sounds good. He's here picking his drink up. Have a good time. How we reach Bell, you guys know him. I do not. He did not like me. Well, we just go to the ship and say hello, I assume. Where is ship? Well, we left it. Still on the sky though. I thought he flew up.
00:15:38
Speaker
I think the ship is still on the Sky Dock. There's the town. The Sky Docks here, you're in the tavern here. Well, listen, as we are held shitty map. We won't put that on Twitter. It looks a lot like a map from Among Us, if I'm being honest. Anyway, as you exit the tavern and into the New Year's Eve crisp air, you can see the sky ship parked on the Sky Dock.
00:16:08
Speaker
And you can just hear what sounds like a party is clearly just kicking off on the dock. I knew there was a party. Let's go. Let's avoid the political comments and let's just go to the damn ship. Noodle, you got on well with Bill. What was his name? His name was Bill.
00:16:33
Speaker
If you were to listen three weeks ago, you'd probably find out. I don't think we actually exchanged words, but never mind. I've got a better chance, Prensa. We are the heroes of Christmas. I thought you knew him. Yeah, but I don't like him, though. I just won a competition. I just gave it to the heroes. I won that golden ticket, too. This explains a lot.
00:16:59
Speaker
The fame is going to my head. Yeah, maybe we talk to him. I just wanted to stop talking, but okay, let's go. I'm sounding like a nice guy now. Oh my god.
00:17:12
Speaker
We say Christmas together, me and you, nice guy, yes. Gobble of jammin'! No, um... Okay, sorry. Ah, you know, let's go save... Where is Bill? Awesome banger, Jesus! We have played the two halves of a game, you know...
00:17:32
Speaker
So anyway, French listeners, we apologize. I wasn't making fun of French people. I was making fun of us and Venga, actually. It's very different. If you've made it this far, thank you, and somehow, I don't know how, but congratulations. Anyway, our erstwhile heroes make it onto the deck of the Star of Bethlehem. And what they find is a host of elves and Goliath and Tortles and Gnomes and the residents of the town just having a little boogie on the deck. And what's happening is, is that as before,
00:18:00
Speaker
When are they boogying to us this time? They are boogying to what appears to be some form of dubstep version of Old Lang Syne over and over. Can you do an example for Is? Yeah, because I can't imagine it. I can't imagine it. So I need to do a dubstep version of Old Lang Syne. You will be pleased and probably surprised to hear that I cannot do an example of a dubstep Old Lang Syne.
00:18:24
Speaker
Listeners, if you would like to send us your best impression... I'll use listeners for your shitty thing here. Anyway, Bill comes over to you and goes, are you here for the party here as a Christmas? Are you about to become the party goers of New Year's Eve? And all the elves and the furniture and everything else that are still bobbling around.
Requesting Bill's Help
00:18:46
Speaker
I'm afraid we're in dire need of help, Bill. Oh? Do tell.
00:18:54
Speaker
You see, there is a horrible man, absolutely the exact opposite of festiveness, who's planning to blow up the town. His name is Hans Buber. Oh, I know it isn't. Oh, gosh, that sounds absolutely terrible. It's absolutely ghastly.
00:19:24
Speaker
And how am I- what am I supposed to- How am I supposed to- We need the ship! We need the ship! What he said! Because it's very simple, Bill, and Prides is gonna reach into his pouch and pull out a crumpled piece of paper and very slowly unravel it. And very slowly, and as he's saying it, because if we do not do this, and he unravels it and holds up a piece of paper that just says the word fucked on it. New Year's is fucked.
00:19:54
Speaker
Well, we can't have that. Very good call. You've held onto that for a year. Yes, it was a very important thing to me. How's it not, like, whittled away after a year? No, yes, of course. Well, if we can't have that now, then can we? No, because otherwise we're fucked. I hear a line from Bill, please, can you say we fucked? Because that was very good. Oh.
00:20:17
Speaker
I see. Well, if you don't, where do you need to go? What do you need to do? No, you say New Year's fucked if we don't do anything. I'll get to that. Set me up, you simpleton. Okay, Bill, New Year is fucked. What do you think? I'll ask. I'll ask again where do you need to go and what do you need to do? Bill, we need to go to the top of the Christmas tree, the 200th Christmas tree, to meet Hans Ube. If we don't meet him, the whole time will explode.
00:20:43
Speaker
Well, frankly, if we don't get you to the top of that tree, New Year's will be fucked. Yeah! Everyone who does the catchphrase, very good, very good, we don't do it. He said it, he said it. It was totally natural, it was not set up at all, very good. So, no scripting here. First try. Bill, could we go please?
00:21:14
Speaker
I'm just distracted by the dubstep that's taking place. Can we use the old man's eye? Just for now, they're not fans.
00:21:29
Speaker
I don't. Is everyone coming on ship or are we dropping these? Everyone off. Everyone off. Everyone off. We're off. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. You two. Stop kissing you. You'll be party soon. We save New Year now. That's our gig.
00:21:46
Speaker
Well then. Remember Big Willy saved New Year. We saved Easter soon. And as the residents of the Star of Bethlehem make their way off the ship, Bill goes, shall we? And runs up the steps to the top of the ship and jumps on the wheel. And with that, the sky ship lurches into the sky. And as you come to the top of the Christmas tree, you realize that there is this semi-circular justed out
00:22:15
Speaker
platform that sits at the top of the tree and what Bill does is he lowers the plank out towards it, he pulls up alongside it and goes, well it was only a week ago that I was here and he nods to the top of the tree igniting the Christmas star ceremony and yet well here we are again indebted to you fine heroes and he gestures to the plank which is now connected to the platform and says
00:22:41
Speaker
Well, good luck. Big Bill, question please. Go for it. Do you have anything to give us for Big Battle ahead? Wink. Question.
00:22:53
Speaker
Smile. Tell you what? Yes. One of old Bill's special potions, eh? And he's going to hold, open up his jacket, and you'll see a load of vials of all sorts of mixed colors are inside his jacket. There's red, there's a glowing green one, a glowing blue one, and a glowing purple one. Which one would you like?
00:23:14
Speaker
Oh, I pick. Oh, cool. Glowing blue, please. For me, for you. He's going to hold it out to you and what he is giving you is a potion of greater healing. It will do 2d4 plus 8 healing. Awesome.
00:23:33
Speaker
Many thanks. This is great. I don't drink now, but we might do later. Thank you. What about my friends? They need, they need stuff too. And you got more potions and frankly, you don't need them. We do know to save new year. Can we take all of them? Well, smile. Okay. Of course. He's going to take out the free remaining potions and go, who wants them? Is it alcoholic? Not this one. Oh good. I'll have that one. Thank you. Wouldn't drink it though.
00:24:03
Speaker
And what he gives you is a potion. And he looks at you and says, point and throw. He's giving you a potion of flaming hands. When you open up this potion, you can cast a spell flaming hands with it. Fuck, I choose the wrong one.
00:24:29
Speaker
I kind of want the purple one now. All right, purple or green, who wants it? Oh, green is very festive. I'll happily take that one. OK, he's going to Gibworth, not that festive, and I certainly wouldn't want to smell it. And he gives you a potion. In this potion is a 10 foot radius poison cloud. Any creature that starts its turn in the cloud has to make a DC 15 saving throw or be poisoned until they step outside of the fog.
00:25:01
Speaker
And last but not least, he says holding out the purple one. I will take it then. I will look at Prancer for a moment and stir and look at his face and say, fuck that. And yeah, I'll take the purple one. Fair enough. And what he gives you is a much smaller vial, almost a test tube style. Sizes and everything. And offers it to you and says,
00:25:32
Speaker
This one is particularly useful on things that you don't want to hear. And he just nods towards Willy. What I'm giving you is a potion of a 15 foot circumference. When you lob it, it will cast a silent spell. Excellent. I feel like I got one person. Where's, where, yeah, nevermind. Fuck you, Bill. So you picked the blue one. Anyway.
00:26:00
Speaker
As you step off the deck, the sky ship disappears and you can still hear the sounds of party ringing out below. All of a sudden you hear the clock chimes of the houses and the town spires down below as the clock strikes bong, bong, 11 times.
Confrontation with Hans Uber
00:26:18
Speaker
And what you see is a portal open at the very centre.
00:26:26
Speaker
underneath the tower of this tree just underneath the star and this figure in black robe steps out along with this creature this disgusting creature with one fixed piercing eye looking at you and it just says to you well well well I see you have come here to witness my power and to bear witness to my revenge it doesn't mean anything personal to me to kill you
00:26:56
Speaker
but however since these simpletons below love Christmas so much what better way to celebrate the new year than killing all of you and as he steps to one side this creature in front of him steps to the other side and you can just see a number appear on this what appears to be this black box
00:27:19
Speaker
at the very heart of the tree that he has mounted to the tree itself. And it just flows and glows. Six. I need everyone to roll initiative. Oh, my God. So good. Oh, yeah, bastard. Yeah, I feel the same way. I've rolled really well.
00:27:42
Speaker
I should have saved that for an attack roll. My initiative is zero. I shit. I roll six though. I don't add anything. I rolled a five. Really did not do well on stats. It's a 14 random character generator.
00:28:03
Speaker
I'm going to ask your numbers in a second, but just for now, what I want to show you is the creature that has appeared and has just threatened you. So you get a sense of what it looks like. Hans Uber is a mage in Dark Roads. The creature that's appeared with him looks like that.
00:28:21
Speaker
It's actually an image of a nofic listeners in the official Dungeons and Dragons Monster manual. What page? What page? What page? Pays number 236. There you go. Listeners, turn to page 236, that monster we fight. Along with... Looks like Giant Willy, big one eye. Anyway... You will be tested later. 20 plus. Yes, Alphas R. Yes, go for it. 23.
00:28:46
Speaker
I got a natural 20. Shut up, why would you get it now? Why don't you wait? I wanted to get it later! Okay, 15 to 20. You're on your own again, Balthazar. Yep, just me. 10 to 15. 14.
00:29:13
Speaker
five out 10 from oh so i got 10 i got 10 10 yeah i could see the 10 thank you prancer five to ten five i
Battle Intensifies
00:29:23
Speaker
got six six four six for big willy willy big willy and then thimble snowdrop brings up the rear okay
00:29:39
Speaker
As Hanbuba finishes saying this and the six flashes on this device that he's strapped to the tree, what do you want to do Balza? Balza is going to be a little bit thrown back by this.
00:29:54
Speaker
wasn't expecting the countdown. How close is Hans Uber and this horrendous one-eyed creature? How close are they together? Are they next to each other or? So I've got four starting points for the party on the tree. As the person drawing fast blood, can you draw a d4 and I'll tell you please how far away he is. Put this down to chance. Two. Two. Okay, he is approximately 35 feet away.
00:30:24
Speaker
Okay, the two enemies. The Nothic however is 30 feet away. The Nothic has stood 5 feet down from him. Okay, what I'm going to do then is he's going to load a special bauble into his crossbow.
00:30:42
Speaker
and it's going to fire this bauble over, and it's going to land on the ground just in front of them. And as it does, it's going to splash out with a special liquid. It's just going to go down past both of them. I'm casting Grease, and I want you to make a dexterity saving throw for both of them. I have a 10-foot range on Grease. A 10-foot range on Grease, a dexterity saving throw for both. Hands rolled a 17.
00:31:12
Speaker
the nophic however rather 10. Yay! That one failed. So the nophic basically falls prune. You just hear this horrible kind of low rumble from this creature as all of a sudden it goes and it falls over. Hans Uber though just seems to stumble slightly but just stoically just remains just staring at you on his feet. Is that the end of your turn?
00:31:39
Speaker
Yes, it is actually. I'm not going to do anything yet. Okay, so as this Mexican stand-off, Mexican showdown happens between you and Han Zuba, it is Han Zuba's turn. And what Han Zuba is going to do is... He's going to disappear. What? Son of a bitch. And that is the end of Han Zuba's turn.
00:32:07
Speaker
He went to Jancina on us. I can see him. Up next is the Nothic because you all rolled so terribly. What the Nothic is going to do is it's going to get up from the grease at you and it's just going to launch itself in your direction. It's going to dash
00:32:28
Speaker
and end its turn directly in front of you, Bulbazar. That's all it can do, though, because it had to take the dash action to get to you. Noodle, your turn. Oh, no. Noodle's going to reach into... Noodle is going to reach into Michelle. He's going to pull out... Oh, God. Reach into Michelle and pull out a...
00:32:55
Speaker
I have really bad images of this. I cannot say that you would see containing lots of beautiful glitter, both gold and silver, and he is just going to lob it. Ideally, I'd like to lob it about 19 feet behind the Nothic. And effectively, what I'm doing is casting Fairy Fire, which has a 20-foot radius cube. So the intention is to still get the Nothic in, but also, ideally, if
00:33:25
Speaker
Mr. Badman's in there as well. Catch him. I don't know if I will or not. It's a deck saving throw. Okay. Unfortunately, Han Zebra, as you now glance down at the grease, even though he's invisible, you can see his footprints have now started to move away from that area. So you won't get hands. However, you will get them off it. And what does it need to do?
00:33:46
Speaker
Dex save. I've just realised it's a 20 foot cube just 10 feet behind him. I'll be throwing it. Roll a natural two. So that's going to fail. Awesome. It's going to be outlined in beautiful festive. I'll go with gold and light, even though it technically doesn't say on the thing. And it's advantage on attack rolls against him until I lose concentration for a minute.
00:34:07
Speaker
OK, yeah, this this nofic then starts to glow and it realizes it. It shrieks now in your direction of it, looks over Bovovar's shoulder and at you. It is... Noodle's turn. No, we've had Noodle. It is Prance's turn.
00:34:27
Speaker
Without a moment to pause, Albert in hand turns and runs directly towards the Nothic, this one-eyed fucker. And the first thing he's going to do is he gets close. He's going to switch to Albert into the left hand, which is his offhand. He's going to reach and grab a hold of the head of Balthazar. And I'm going to try and do bait and switch. You're basically going to move him behind me, and then I'm going to take a swing at it. So I have to get within five feet, and then Balthazar has to be willing. Are you willing to be baited and switched?
00:34:57
Speaker
Oh fuck yeah, this thing hits me, I'm probably dead. Hell yeah. You therefore, um, then you pop behind me, you don't provoke an opportunity attack and I get you add. Oh, glorious. Until the start of my next turn, you can add six to your AC. And then I'm going to smash it in the face.
00:35:19
Speaker
We're fairy-fied, is it now subject to advantage? I thought fairy-fi would give the next person. I think it is, yeah. It's advantage, yeah. It's just continuous advantage, isn't it, for anybody who... Yeah, until I lose concentration. It's like a glitter bomb's just got off. He's coated in golden glitter and he's a nice easy target. Glitter, the herpes of the craft world. I rolled 19 plus 5, 24. 24, thank you.
00:35:45
Speaker
I thought so, I was about to say. That's 5 points of slashing damage and then unnatural 20 for the pummel end for a bonus attack. Yeah that also will hit. That's 2 points of bludgeoning damage and then I'm going to stand there and say
00:36:04
Speaker
No, I've got a few. I've got a few. I'm going to hold those lines. I'm just going to stare at it and go. That's what I'm going to do. Nice. So as you're now staring face to face with this gold glowing nofic, it comes to Willy's turn.
00:36:20
Speaker
Okay, so from my pocket, I see what's going on. So from my pocket, I take out, if you remember from last episode, I took ice of Marv and throughout the week, I've been using my frost magic to keep it icy. So I take out what looks like the little pinky of Marv and I then use both hands and to see this shard elongate.
00:36:44
Speaker
in between my hands into a massive frost shard, almost like an ice knife. And then it hovers above my head as I hold it above there. It broke my hands and all my might I swing back and then I swing really far forward and I thrust both hands out and you'll see this shard flying towards the nothing. And then I need to read what happens next. Need to make a dexterity saving throw.
00:37:10
Speaker
It's gonna fail, so roll the five so I'm not even gonna bother looking at its modifier because that will be a fail. It would be an eight for fidelity, which I'm sure is a fail. So it takes... Okay, so you take one d10 damage. Oh, damn. That's 18 damage in total.
00:37:35
Speaker
What? No, you can't have done that because it needs to make a save, doesn't it, for the... Well, I thought it failed save because it failed dexterity first time round. Does it have to make two saves? I don't know. I assume it would because the first one is the... Well, the first one was on a dex save, was it? I'm pretty sure you rolled a hit first and then it does a dex save.
00:37:56
Speaker
Oh, I didn't roll to hit, did I? I just said, give me a Dx37 throw. I'm going to have to do this all again. Very embarrassing, I'm so sorry. With advantage. With advantage. He's floating, he's... I'm going to hit all of this out. It's still glowing. It's glowing, so you've got an attack roll. What embarrassment, this is. Okay, this is why I don't do magic.
00:38:20
Speaker
Oh shit, 13 to hit. 13 to hit. 13 to hit. That misses, unfortunately. Ha, that's very funny. So you see the shard go over his head and I haven't done spell in 365 days. But can he then still make a dexterity saving throw and anyone within five feet of him also make dexterity saving throws? 11. Well, please. 12 for the nofic. Okay, he succeeded. 14.
00:38:50
Speaker
He's 62. Awesome. No damage by anyone, by me. They are very sheepish. Oh, big Willy. You just see Marv Pinky explode. Not hit anyone. I like that at the moment it explodes and you just hear the wind ruffling through the air. Everyone looks at you for a second before the fight resumes.
00:39:20
Speaker
It is now Fimbul. Fimbul Snowdrop. Bottom of the round. Go for it. Yeah, as the combat starts, she just takes a second. Pulls out one of those little straw packets of sherbet. And she just gobbles it down. Rubs her face and just rages up again for the bonus action. Roll your D8. D8 for wild magic. Go, go, go. It's 8 again. I know what that is.
00:39:49
Speaker
That's the blinding beam of light. Oh my god. There's a constitution saving throw. Yes, a constitution saving throw for the Nothic. It rolled an 18. That's a pass. Sorry buddy.
00:40:06
Speaker
That's all right, that's all right. We still then follow up with Thimble then flying straight at the Nothic and trying to hit it with her hand. As you do the blinding thing, you see the green eye just seems to be able to flinch for a second, but then just hone in on you as this BDI that is dashing between the things that hit it focuses on you. As you dash in, you will be able to get into flanking with Prancer, should you wish. Yes, that makes sense. I'll go into flanking maneuver.
00:40:34
Speaker
Okay, yep, so you have advantage on the attack. You had that anyway because of the glow, but you have advantage now anyway. Thanks for the reminder, though. That is a 24 to hit. Yeah, that hits. Roll damage. Yes, sir. That's six points of slashing damage. Okay. As you crash into this nofit creature and hit it from behind, then all of a sudden the eye turns around and glances at you. Is that the end of your turn?
00:41:03
Speaker
Yes, in this case, I'll hang around. Okay, great. Top of the round, Balthazar, you've now seen these Nothic rush towards you. You've been pulled out of the way. You've got Prancer in front of you. You've still got, often, behind you, Noodle and Willy, and you've just seen Fimble. Hello. Fimble make her way behind the Nothic.
00:41:29
Speaker
What do you want to do? As my bonus action, I'm going to tell my Finch reindeer just to approach the creature, nothing on the left hand side. So obviously you've got one behind, one in front, and then one just to the left. I'm going to use my actual movement and just back off as much as what I can. And I'm going to fire a crossbow, a festive arrow. Yeah, still with advantage because it's still glowing and it's full on surrounded. Aiming for this eye.
00:41:59
Speaker
26 to hit. Yeah, that hits. 13 points of piercing damage. Nice. Okay, yeah, this crossbow bolt crashes into this creature and all of a sudden it all of a sudden stops making noises now and just seems to have
00:42:21
Speaker
developed as the eye just continues to gauge around looking for something. It's getting more and more menacing with every damage, every piece of damage it takes. Is that the end of your turn? No, I'm going to have my steel defender just headbutt it with the antlers as well. Just for the hell of it.
00:42:44
Speaker
21 to hit. Yeah, that hits. This fairy fire is fucking up. There's nothing. Yeah. Yeah, actually I didn't roll with advantage for that. I will go for crit. Yeah.
00:42:59
Speaker
Really embarrassing. I also did not row for advantage. For Laurels, I will row now and see what I get. Eight. Never mind. Fair enough. I did three points of force damage.
00:43:19
Speaker
As you crash into the Nothic, you all of a sudden feel the gaze, bounce to the still defender, realise that's a construct, and then come round to you. Is that the end of your turn? Yeah, that's the end of my turn. Okay.
Suspenseful Ending and Teasers
00:43:32
Speaker
From out of nowhere, this weapon is going to appear, this axe, and it's going to come hurtling in down towards you, Noodle. As you see this axe materialise out of the darkness and come crashing towards you,
00:43:48
Speaker
