Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop, Belem Draconis. We are a live play 5E 2024 D&D podcast set in the magical homebrood world of Aerith in the kingdom of Dralak. Joining you for this week's episode, we have the Edgelord Callum who plays the warforged Artificer Alpha.
00:00:51
Speaker
Hello! Eon plays the Tiefling Warsor and Nyx Corell. Hello! To bear he plays the human cleric Emron. Was everyone else disturbed by the fact that Dany was rubbing himself as you were speaking then?
00:01:03
Speaker
Lies. Will, who plays the Dragonborn Druid, Val Valkon? I was rubbing myself, too. My name is Mark, and I'm rubbing... You play the Human Blade Singer, Teth, Paral Reaver. And my last, but my no means least, is our story sculptor, the sovereign of shadows, the sage of the surreal, the summoner of specters, our sex gulper sepulcher.
00:01:23
Speaker
I
00:01:26
Speaker
don't know. That was a good one. I can't believe I fucked it. Sex gulper sepulcher. That's what I was going for. Dungeon Master Danny. I love that. Can I have it again, please?
Dungeon Master Introduction
00:01:38
Speaker
ah The story... Ah, it rhymed at the beginning and end. come Story sculptor, sovereign of shadows, sage of the surreal, summoner of specters, and our sex-gulper sepulcher, Dungeon Master Danny. Hello, everyone. Well done. I should have practiced that once, because that is... mouthful.
00:01:53
Speaker
A mouthful. Sex gulping. Sex gulper sepulcher. um I imagine it's like a a dungeon filled with... cum um speaking of which speaking of a food filled with you'll be in my hallway your hallway why your hallway i don't know just thought of a room in my house That's not even a room. that's a connecting space.
00:02:20
Speaker
Fuck me. Do you not watch, like, you know, grand designs and nony things? Could you not make it to a room to ejaculate? how to I think we're all suggesting that everybody has a cum hallway. Yes, grand designs. We wanted the cum hallway, but we ran out of money and time. If you don't see the grand-size bloopers, that's clearly what they're saying. You no longer need glue to put up the wallpaper. They've
Encounter with the Gnome
00:02:54
Speaker
hired a
00:03:02
Speaker
just some old man on a barge you a beard speaking of wig
00:03:10
Speaker
ah beautiful With the beard lapping against the waves of Goldview Port, we see old Gell leaning lackadaisically out of what seems to be a small rowboat still moored on the docks of Goldport Keep with one long toe dangling into the water and one long stare into the orb in front of him.
00:03:35
Speaker
Ooh, bridge of lies. are some horsey horses covered in blood making their way past the group. That's not ominous at all. Then shapes surround the cart. The sand collar demands a toll to pass.
00:03:51
Speaker
He wants half of the group's gold. And Ball's like, fuck yourself, boy. And then he's like, what give me a quarter instead. And Ball's like, that that's a pretty good deal, actually. take Take my money. And it turns out it was a gnome all along. And he was duped like a bitch, hustled like a fool, sailed up the sandy river,
00:04:10
Speaker
raw dogged. Anyway, clip-clap goes the group. The blood was real, though, not some sort of illusion. Nix and Seth do some mind-chatting of some sort of shit, and
Bridge Standoff
00:04:22
Speaker
Seth has another stroke.
00:04:23
Speaker
The group get to the bridge, and Varsan's crew are up ahead. The camp And a tent or two ahead of them. But there's also the upchriskra on the other side. It's like some sort of erythsecan standoff. Thank you.
00:04:38
Speaker
There's a kerfuffle about the death of some upchriskra agents. Varsana denying it. Upchriskra accusing them. Nix is like, I'm a play coach here. He does a pretty fucking good job and solves the issue.
00:04:50
Speaker
The group makes their way across the bridgey bridge and sets up camp, but then hear a voice, not a voice, but a scream, followed by the sound of feasting, and it's coming from all around.
00:05:07
Speaker
every
Camp Setup and Sand Creature Attack
00:05:08
Speaker
single one of us just went, oh yeah. yeah. i could see it all in your faces. yeah I forgot about the feasting part. Yeah, i forgot about that bit at the end. Does anyone write anything? The end's the most important one.
00:05:20
Speaker
You will find yourself resting at camp, as described, along these tall, craggy clifftops on this eastern road heading to Beach Barrow Port. Some of you more weary than others as you continue to shake off your various levels of exhaustion.
00:05:36
Speaker
Just as you begin, however, to settle down to rest and tuck into your dry rations, you'll hear the sound of flesh being hastily chewed. and that's echoing around the chasms beneath you.
00:05:53
Speaker
And it's underscored by this insectoid-like clicking.
00:06:04
Speaker
Seconds later, the sand beneath you, the earth, begins to tremor slightly.
00:06:14
Speaker
a bulge of sand 60 feet away, then dips again. And all around you, just these poppings of earth as they break.
00:06:27
Speaker
Something approaches. Now, before you roll initiative, I want to remind you all that you have Preparation Die as a resource also available to you as part of this journey. It's a D6 you can add to any roll. It can be to damage, it can be to add to a skill check, to a saving throw, to an attack roll, etc.
00:06:47
Speaker
Anything that involves rolling a D20 or damage, it can be rolled for. You have ah five of those as a group. You may want to just a reminder of that as you head into initiative. So can I get you all, please,
Initiative and Battle Preparations
00:07:01
Speaker
to roll initiative? You do not know. You cannot perceive any threats, but you are alerted.
00:07:07
Speaker
dont Don't forget D&D Beyond doesn't auto-deduct your exhaustion levels from your dice rolls. Ah, bastard! You will need to do that yourself.
00:07:18
Speaker
Ah, now I'm going to have to do maths and remember what exhaustion means. Minus...
00:07:28
Speaker
So exhaust exhaustion is a D20 test that was reduced by two times your exhaustion level. And its initiative is a D20 test. Will, can you work that out for me? level you on? Two.
00:07:51
Speaker
So it's minus four, so it's eight. You're on eight for Nyx Krell. I've got minus eight. 12 minus four is eight. Whoa. No, is that correct? Yeah.
00:08:03
Speaker
Two times is what it says. Yeah. If it's two levels, it's just four. Double check. that I'm reading his initiative roll as 21, but I don't know if that's... Oh, I've got... It says... oh Ah, Isn't it four? Did I just take four away? take four off. looked at custom roll. Sorry. 17.
00:08:20
Speaker
Yes, it's 17. Sorry. i I've scrolled up too far and found Nick Scorrell's custom roll. Apologies. Okay. I got 17, by the way.
00:08:31
Speaker
i got a five, technically. and If you need to adjust mine, Danny, because mine is six. source No, no. ah I got four, technically. Mine's my exhaustion level. Fucking hell.
00:08:45
Speaker
Is it nighttime as well, or just out of interest? So, you find yourselves around this clipfacee cliff face, and ah You are all huddled. That's what I said. You're huddled around this campfire in the center and there are two of you at your traveling tents.
00:09:01
Speaker
um Hitched up is Trunks and the cart and there is some sort of light barren shrubbery to the east of you. But to the west of you is a sheer drop into one of the chasms and the road sort of heads north and south through this map.
00:09:18
Speaker
It's top of the round. It is nighttime. All that's being lit ah is the the the campfire light, the blaze from the wildfire spirit.
00:09:29
Speaker
And I think that's everyone who has a light source on them permanently. Does Flametongue have a light source? No, the Moontouch does. yeah So and if you haven't got darkvision, you are going to be rolling a disadvantage if you're not in those lit areas. Okay.
00:09:45
Speaker
So, top the round. Is that 60 feet of bright light or 30 feet of bright light? For the moon? What's that? No, for the fire. How much bright light to dim light? 30 feet of bright, 30 feet of dim. So 60 foot radius.
00:09:58
Speaker
Cool. Okay. Alpha, top of the round. All you're seeing is sort of earth swirling around from beneath you, but in quite a wide berth.
Battle with Insect Creatures
00:10:10
Speaker
Anything you'd like to do? Alpha, he's still kind of spot. He'd given off a slight... blue tinge of the spark still as he walks from ah last and episode, I think it was, where he kind of tried to swap consciousness to try make the pain of Reigns a little bit easier.
00:10:31
Speaker
Sparks is still going to go off, and going to start seeing him. He's going approach through the middle of the tents, just kind of putting himself near Trunks at this stage. He's just kind of at the back um of Trunks.
00:10:48
Speaker
And as he's approaching, going, and hello?
00:10:53
Speaker
Who is out there? But as he's approaching cautiously and tensely, going to see these sparks just kind of start to build up a little bit, get a little bit more aggressive, a little bit more frequent.
00:11:06
Speaker
um And I'm going to activate something called innate sorcery. which takes one bonus action for me, um which just for the record, the spell save of my DC spells increases by one and I have advantage on attack rolls and sorcerer spells.
00:11:24
Speaker
Just for your record. Great. Then make sure you keep a track of which ones are sorcerer, which ones are artifices. Will do. we wait You yeah but yeah actually i don't have access to artifices right now. No, no. so It's all sorcerer. So it's every spell I cast. If it needs an attack roll, it will be done with advantage.
00:11:39
Speaker
and But at the moment, that's all I'm going to do. right. Thank you very much. It is, ah well, the wildfire spirits or Baal's turn. Okay. So Baal, obviously noticing that something's something wicked this way comes, will just quickly pipe up to the group.
00:11:54
Speaker
ah Probably best to stay close, stay on your guard. And he'll look to the wildfire spirit and just kind of nod his head up to the sky and use his bonus action. um to kind of command his wildfire spirit, ah who is, yeah, gonna do exactly that. He's gonna move 20 feet off the ground and just hover like kind of above the fire. So his wildfire spirit now, it no longer looks like a like a Chinese dragon star thing. It looks more like a wyvern. So it's got, I think previously I said four legs. I meant two. It's got two hind legs and it's what front legs it would have are wings instead. So I think, is that a wyvern?
00:12:31
Speaker
Am I thinking? Yeah. Yeah, cool. So it looks like a wyvern now. So it's the same kind of size, but different morphed into a slightly different shape. So that's going to be 20 feet, like flying into or just above where the bonfire is and up, hovering over the smoke that's there just to get a little bit of eyes on.
00:12:47
Speaker
And Barl's going to have his shield out. He's going to look around the group. He's going to probably... ah turn his back to the group and be facing out kind of westward towards where the cliffs are. Almost like that he's kind of forming a ah perimeter around the fire in the middle.
00:13:03
Speaker
And as an action, i'm going to take the dodge action um because nothing has yet to read its ugly head. Awesome. Thank you very much. That takes us to Nick's Corral. Nyx is going to stand up, unsheath his moon-touched dagger from his left hip.
00:13:20
Speaker
ah So there's 15 foot of dim moonlight that's kind of coming from that blade. ah And as a bonus action, he's going to reach out his right hand and then it will conjure his packed blade of the flame tongue.
00:13:33
Speaker
And that will just appear. um I like to think in an in a flame, even though it's not lit at the moment, but the actual act of like conjuring the blade, there's a little fire that just um turns into the blade that he instantly grasps.
00:13:47
Speaker
And he's going to um look towards Baal. And take his kind of lead in this because we're wait close together. And I'm also going to take the dodge action, evade action, whatever it is.
00:14:03
Speaker
Dodge. Dodge. Action. Yeah. Awesome. Thank you very much. Seth. Seeing everyone else preparing, Seth's going to reach down and pull out, shooting both of his scimitars and hold them in kind of a readied position.
00:14:18
Speaker
Um, he's going to position himself in a way that kind of looks out towards an area that isn't currently being kind of watched by the others so far. we're kind of forming that perimeter on the outside, scanning the horizon.
00:14:30
Speaker
Um, then he's going to retcon everything he said. He's going to put his blades back. Um, and I'm going to get out a lantern, got lantern in our pack. And he's going to out of the lantern. I just want to light that as my action. My whole turn is just him using the fire, whatever it is, just wick, light the lantern, and he's just going to hold it.
00:14:50
Speaker
But if you'll allow me, I'm also going to keep out with me ah the one of the the casks, the cask but the flask of like oil that he you would fill it up. and got 10 of them, apparently.
00:15:00
Speaker
I actually looked at the equipment we had. And and I'm going to keep that, the lantern and this oil out. And um and then he's just going to shimmy. So you wouldn't have a weapon in hand? Correct. Yeah. And I'm just going to push the spell book further around towards his bum, behind his back more, so he's out of the way more and kind of gets himself ready.
00:15:21
Speaker
yeah Yeah, that's what he's going to Okay, thank you very much. Sorry, I'll also prepare a dodge action. No. you but You use your action to get the light source ready. worries.
00:15:34
Speaker
Take on me then. Thanks. Okay, before it's your turn, Emron, as you rolled so low in the initiative, that rumbling that constant rumbling that you guys have sort of been preparing for, and and top of the round alpha, you probably have the longest to sort of survey the battlefield in these few moments.
00:15:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:51
Speaker
And those rumblings sort of come to about five separate fissures, if you will. And one by one, the ground breaks and these large creatures appear coming out of them.
00:16:08
Speaker
You see these this sort of huge ah like What's the word? What's the word? Head? Mandible. I'm trying to think of what it is on an insect. You see this huge mandible sort of peer out of the ground first. It looks a bit like a shield, like a um tri-pointed shield coming out of the ground first.
00:16:27
Speaker
And then it just goes up to about 20 feet tall. Uh-oh.
00:16:35
Speaker
You then see the rest of this chitinous body appear behind it. They look like these oversized beetles or ants, but have these two um front legs that have claws coming down from them and have about six legs that they walk on, but two standing proud.
00:16:54
Speaker
They have this, like I say, this chitinous exoskeleton and they're sort of this sandy beige-y colour. Dripping from them is sort of a mixture of moss and acid as they ah begin to just sort of um ready this attack.
00:17:09
Speaker
And they have these nine black, shiny eyes at various points within their sort of mandible skull.
00:17:19
Speaker
And one by one, as they pierce through the crust of the earth, they're going to spew acid at all of you in turn in a straight line. Fuck! Fuck!
00:17:31
Speaker
that for All of your benefit, their image is now in our chat.
00:17:38
Speaker
Oh, nice. had a girlfriend who looked like that.
00:17:44
Speaker
And if you listeners want to work, I'm not going to put a picture his ex-girlfriend up on X, but i will take this image and ah put this on our X page if you want to know what we are fighting.
00:17:58
Speaker
And they all surround the camp. Oh, shit. One by one, they let off a spew of acid. I'll start.
00:18:10
Speaker
They are really close. They're gonna spit on that thing. 30 feet. So, Nyx and Seth, I need you to make for me. Dexterity saving throws as this acid just comes hurling towards you from the first one of these creatures.
00:18:27
Speaker
God damn it. ah That's a seven from Seth.
00:18:32
Speaker
You minused your exhaustion. Yep. yeah ah That's a 13. No, that's a lie. That's a 12.
00:18:45
Speaker
Okay, Seth.
00:18:49
Speaker
You take nine points of acid damage. ah Next, you take five. Ouch. Another spew of acid comes from the next one.
00:19:01
Speaker
Are these all rolling with disadvantage yet? It's a saving throw. Oh, sorry. always oh shit. It's a saving throw. ah One just on you, Bob. Please a deck saving throw.
00:19:11
Speaker
Okay. This is something that I'm... This got spicy. did get spicy. Danny decided to just go, you know what? I'm just going to TPK the pie. It's an 18. You take five points of acid damage.
00:19:25
Speaker
Beautiful. ah The one directly to the west of you is going to go for... Can't quite reach Alpha at the back. So it's going to go for just Seth alone.
00:19:38
Speaker
Seth, could you make a dexterity saving throw again, please? i can take it. I think I can take it. Shit, I can't follow app. All right. We're good, we're good, we're good. That's a sweaty, dirty 20.
00:19:49
Speaker
Five points of acid damage. From the northeast, one just on you, Emron. Can you make a dexterity save, please? I can.
00:20:02
Speaker
That is 17. That's five points of acid damage. The last one, however, at the the one o'clock on your on your clock face, if you will, is slightly larger and has a much bigger ah mandible than the rest of them. It's just going to charge straight over and crushes the tent with its claws and just sort of scales over and unleashes it an almighty bite straight at you, Alpha.
00:20:32
Speaker
Son of a bitch crushing tent.
00:20:36
Speaker
It's too close to trunks.
00:20:40
Speaker
Okay, Alpha, are you dodging? um I did not have the foresight to take the dodge action. Makes sense. You fucking So 17 to hit you out there.
00:20:58
Speaker
Hips.
00:21:01
Speaker
I'm not going to like this.
00:21:04
Speaker
You take 11 points of piercing damage. Sorry, slashing damage. And one point of acid damage. One point of acid damage. Jeez, these guys hit.
00:21:16
Speaker
You are grappled. as Oh, shit. It puts this teeth this tooth sorry straight through your core, and rather than sort of biting and coming away, it just lifts its head and you come up with it.
00:21:30
Speaker
Fuck. Emron, over to you.
00:21:34
Speaker
This... Yes, okay. Um... Right, so...
Magic and Healing in Battle
00:21:43
Speaker
ah what So, Emron will see what happens, have all the acid spewing on us all, this creature charging across and crushing the tent and going for Alpha.
00:21:51
Speaker
Emron's going to look to the sky and see the moon starting to rise over the desert, is it? ah Yes. Yeah. um So he's got his shield. He's got shield in one hand, hand the other.
00:22:02
Speaker
He's going to look up at the, see the yeah moon in the sky and yell to the group, Alido watches us, lads. Let's go. And I'm then going to cast Bless. Yeah, buddy. Second level Bless.
00:22:14
Speaker
Thank you. ah That negates your exhaustion. Yep. Four of us. So that's that's going to be... Be hilarious. It's going to be Emron, Seth, Nix, and Baal who are blessed. thank you awesome uh is that everything you're doing with your turn that is my action and let me just check my bonus actions i don't think there's much else i can do
00:22:45
Speaker
I'm going to charge forward and try and engage this one just to the sort of northeast. So Emron will surge forwards about 18 feet or so just to engage this first one to stop the party from being overwhelmed.
00:23:01
Speaker
Northwest.
00:23:04
Speaker
Northwest, sorry. Thank you. You're welcome, babe. Now, that is the end of the round. I will remind you of your preparation die. Top of the round. Alpha, over to you.
00:23:15
Speaker
You currently are grappled inside the tooth. You feel the tooth going through your leg of this creature. Well, I mean, shit.
00:23:28
Speaker
Okay, there's going tooth goes through my leg, the sparks have been building up without the start seem to um centralize.
00:23:42
Speaker
um and a little bit and just kind of build up. I'm going to, because I have everything, i can do it now.
00:23:56
Speaker
I'm going to use two sorcery points to cast a spell as a bonus action. and i'm Quickened.
00:24:07
Speaker
see. Quickened spell, yes. well Well done, Ian. Bravo. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wanted to get my knowledge across. the tent And become like a flying tent weapon kind of thing? No, screw it. It's you going to build up and it's just going to kind of...
00:24:22
Speaker
expunge out of alpha from the front and i'm going to cast lightning bolt so if this creature in front of me can make a deck saving throw absolutely I love the word expunge I rolled a natural one sweet um so you just take full damage it's taking a while to load all the dice for that 26 points of lightning damage nice Whoa.
00:24:54
Speaker
ah Crispy critter. That's what I'm aiming for. That was my bonus action. As an action, can I attempt to kind of wiggle my leg free from... Yes. If you want to attempt to break the grapple, tooth yeah go for it.
00:25:08
Speaker
You make an acrobatics or athletics check. Your choice. It generally makes no difference on this, but let's get with that one.
00:25:18
Speaker
Ha! Six. Six.
00:25:21
Speaker
What's your dex? Oh, it doesn't count. Roll again, please. It rolled a six. I got a second chance. Come on now, you crazy bastard. And I got a crit for 22. Nice.
00:25:33
Speaker
Boom, boom. You're free. Good. Thank God. Um...
00:25:40
Speaker
You do notice as you sort of pull the tooth out of your leg and sort of wince in pain a little bit, you do see on the other side of its mouth and sort of tangled around another tooth, a satchel, and in its mouth is quite clearly that the head of a dwarf which has been munching on.
00:25:57
Speaker
ah But its satchel bag seems to be caught around one of the canines. I'm not even sure if insects have canines. It's a tooth.
00:26:07
Speaker
Fair enough. Um... Yeah, I will notice that, but I'm still going to try and... Yeah, I'm going to try and move away from it. know I'm going to open myself up to an opportunity attack if he wants to take it. But yeah I'm going to use all my movement to try and get away from the thing that's penetrated me in the worst way possible.
00:26:29
Speaker
It will take a bite attack at you for sure.
00:26:34
Speaker
How does 14 do against your arm class? A 14 misses. Okay. Thank you very much. fantastic And that's everything I can do. Awesome. Thanks for that. ah It is Baal and the Wildfire Spirit.
00:26:47
Speaker
Okay. ah So Baal has just seen these three things erupt in front of me He's heard the others erupt from behind as well. So he's going to be kind of looking at them all warily and he's kind of, his initial thought is to go into flame on and he's going to quickly look over his shoulder to where Nyx is and is just about to kind of pipe up and and say something to him when he can see quite clearly and that the other guys have been quite badly damaged as well and it it kind of makes him hesitate somewhat.
00:27:15
Speaker
And he'll just say, there's quite a few in front. ah yeah And he'll look at the fire directly behind him as well. Yep. Do, would I be able to perceive that, like, has anyone taken serious damage behind us?
00:27:34
Speaker
Like, as in Seth, Nix... Like, i know as ah as a player, obviously, that Alpha's basically been munched the fuck up. Yeah. And Seth's taken a good beating, but... I think i think on a quick scan, Alpha looks the worst.
00:27:50
Speaker
Cool. What I'll do then is I'll just quickly say... Nick, I'll keep you up, protect me, and i will run backwards ah towards where the bonfire is, kind of not ah not into the fire, um but running past it just to get slightly behind Nick, so probably about 10 feet overall of my movement speed.
00:28:14
Speaker
to get behind Nix. And as I do so, I'm going to sweep a hand kind of into the bonfire and just throw it down towards my feet and it will erupt into this 30 foot aura around me.
00:28:28
Speaker
um What I'm doing is i am casting aura of vitality at third level. And for anyone that's not too sure what that does, basically it means that it's an action to cast.
00:28:41
Speaker
um But from this point on, whilst I'm maintaining concentration at the start of each of my turns, I can restore two d six ah hit points to a creature um for the next minute. And obviously I can do it when I cast the spell as well.
00:28:55
Speaker
And because my Wildfire Spirit's out and I'm level 6 now, I can get an extra um an extra bit of healing on top of ah that as well. So ah the initial points of healing towards Alpha are 11 points overall um with an extra 1 within 30 feet.
00:29:17
Speaker
He's 40 feet away. Has he been moved back by the... He ran back. Has he run even further away from me? I've moved of the way, I'm afraid. I'm so sorry. I was trying to find him on the map and i was like, is he beneath that thing? oh he's there. Right. Okay. If that's the case, I've only used 10 feet of movement.
00:29:32
Speaker
So exactly the same thing, exactly the same flavor. ah But I would kind of leap up and onto the bench and slightly past and just next to trunks whilst that happens. Sorry, Will, just... No, no, no, no.
00:29:45
Speaker
Good looking out. Genuinely, otherwise I would have just fucked through it. I don't know if I can... So if that's, let's just quickly see how far that is.
00:29:55
Speaker
No, I don't think. You are 30 feet to him. Am I 30 feet to him now? Yeah, if you draw a ruler from you to your edge to his. From the edge of me to him. so he's right on the range of it. Yeah, okay. yeah okay And I think I've used my full movement to get just pretty much up onto the wall with the on the map where the bench is. Yeah.
00:30:14
Speaker
But that's what I'm doing. So that that fire around me is kind of just circling around now, and it's going to brush into alpha and give him those 12 points of healing.
00:30:26
Speaker
yeah That's my action. ah Bonus action. Wildfire Spirit is going to stay exactly where it is and just spit one back at um the westernmost naughty boy.
00:30:39
Speaker
Insect, creepy, very well described, nasty fucker. I've now got kind of semi-shivers because it's gross. And so thanks for that. um For a 20 non-natural to hit.
00:30:50
Speaker
On which one, please? The westernmost one. So you've got it labeled up as a C. um So the westernmost one from me.
00:31:01
Speaker
I can ping it. there The one near the near the ah edge of the cliff, closest to that. Yeah, this one. I'm kind of doing a swirly, circly thing on. Yeah, sorry, repeat what you have to hit. 20 to hit, 8 points of fire if it does.
00:31:15
Speaker
Perfect, yes, it does hit. Okay, it just spits down this flame seed at this bitch.
00:31:22
Speaker
Awesome, thank you. Barl, anything else you want to do with your turn? Nope, I think that's everything I can do. I'm just there, I'm next to Trunks now and I'm closer to the ah big fucker. um But I need to do that for the healing to alpha, so...
00:31:35
Speaker
All right. Nyx Carell. Okay. So hearing Baal go protect me and then run past me, Nyx's face displays confusion and then quickly gets the handling of ah the situation and he's going to just step out in front because he's got...
00:31:55
Speaker
three of these motherfucking walking vaginas in front of him and he's going to hold his hands out. Unfortunately, the mind that the the image that springs to mind is in the same way that Chris Pratt does in that Jurassic Park film when he's holding his hands out.
00:32:09
Speaker
Didn't mean that, but that's kind of happened. ah And he's like, okay, okay, I've got this, I've got this. And he's going to collapse his hands together and I'm going to pay the gold for this. But as he brings both hands back up, there's this orb emanating in between top and bottom hand as he pushes that orb out as he's going to cast chromatic orb nice yeah so let's fucking go um He's going to cast it at third level.
00:32:41
Speaker
Boom, boom. Shit. And in the hopes that two of these die, roll the same, because the orb can jump from each enemy, as it were. So the one I'm going to hit is the one on Nyx's left, far left side.
00:32:56
Speaker
And this orb is almost going to slowly just kind of bob over to him. um So it's a is a plus six to hit with a 90-foot range. And I'm going to go for um fire damage on the bad boy.
00:33:11
Speaker
Let's just do the plus six to hit first. I'm blessed, aren't I? You're also exhausted. You can ID four.
00:33:21
Speaker
um Sorry, this's my roll 20s decided to crap out. Ah, that's bullshit. So that's minus four.
00:33:33
Speaker
That's going to miss. What a horrible, horrible thing. I'm manned.
00:33:41
Speaker
That's a 7. You've also got preparation die.
00:33:46
Speaker
Can I do that? What's that do again? That's a D6. It's a D6 per prep die. You could use 1, you could use 2, you could use 3. Guys, can i use 2D6? It's your turn.
00:34:00
Speaker
yourre ten Yeah, fuck It's your turn. Do it. I'm going for it. this is Go for it. Big spell. It's a big spell. Here come the snake eyes, bitch. Oh, that's max 12. Oh, brilliant. Look at that. Worth it.
00:34:14
Speaker
Worth it. That's brilliant. So that is 18 to hit. ah Okay, that hits. Daddy was like, that misses. So it's worth ah So this is 5d8 of fire damage on this bad boy. And any of them match, it jumps.
00:34:32
Speaker
Two matches, I can choose it to jump to the next target. Two match again, I can jump to a third target because I'm going high level. sexy fuck. So that is... 34 points of fire damage. mean Two sevens and two eights.
00:34:48
Speaker
Boom, boom. Did it jump twice? No, it jumps once. I have to do the rolls again. if I match again, it can jump only one more time after that, three times. so That was huge damage. So you do the same 5da again. Yep.
00:35:02
Speaker
yep The one you were targeting is which one? The far left. So it's called Ankh-Heg-B. yeah But from the listener's point of view, it's the south to us. it west The southern one.
00:35:16
Speaker
Ankh-B. So Nyx is facing these beautiful vistas and sandy mountains. And there's one on the far left. And that's what Nyx is hitting. With 34 points of fire damage. not B then. You're hitting F. That that one that's being pinged.
00:35:30
Speaker
Yep. You've got to understand from stage left, you've got Nix is looking out. I got you, don't worry. I was all that mad. Just make it difficult. Yeah, sorry, sorry. B is destroyed.
00:35:42
Speaker
Oh, shit. So we're going to go again. so the the orb, ah if if you will, so the fire consumes...
00:35:55
Speaker
the an Ackroyd and Dan Ackroyd and all that's left is that fiery orb and it just slowly bobbles over to the one in the middle.
00:36:07
Speaker
We want two rolls of the same. Yes! Two sevens! Boom! 24 points of fire damage. Holy shit! Just to be will, you still have to make an attack roll against the new target. oh Oh, I didn't know that.
00:36:20
Speaker
Look at Callum bringing out the rules for limiting. We were being quiet, so I thought I had to jump. I was impressed that Father Ian was using a cool spell. I assume he knew how it worked. Idiot. Idiot. Don't rely on that.
00:36:35
Speaker
Oh, as if. As if I rolled the same. Would you like to use preparation? Are you spellcasting modifier to that?
00:36:44
Speaker
You're rolling If you go to spells indeed in things, should be able to click. What's your plus to hit? You should have like a plus six to hit. It's a plus six to hit. So that's technically a 15 minus the four, which is... Plus you're blessed.
00:36:59
Speaker
Plus blessed for this as well. So 11 adding plus as you d4. For fuck's sake. We've spunked. Okay. Okay. That's a four. That's good. That's 15. 15.
00:37:10
Speaker
hit but it's not yeah yeah 24 points of fire damage my dnd beyond refreshed during my first lot of rolls and it hasn't come back properly i can't make rolls on my hit at the moment use that survival dice for nothing i don't well hey look it's all good 24 points of fire damage on on the middle one gone And then the orb is still there remaining and it just slowly makes if it had eyes, it would turn towards the F who is now quaking in its tiny little insect as it's just slowly, almost Austin Powers like, no, to the roller, the steamroller as it makes its way over.
00:37:53
Speaker
Get out the way Move out the way. For a 20... oh for a twenty ah
00:38:04
Speaker
21 to hit. and and then i yeah yeah and Without bless. Let's fucking go.
00:38:12
Speaker
5d8. Come on. 15 points of fine damage. That's a level 3 spell though, man. And you got another set of doubles on that. What a shame. I can't move it.
00:38:26
Speaker
Mate, what spell. take out two You take out 2. The third one is still standing there. ah Epic. Nice. And then as a bonus action with a flurry, he spins it in his hand. His flame tongue is going light on fire.
00:38:39
Speaker
I'd laugh if we were all facing out. Oh, and back to you. So none of us saw this. um s is The best moment. The best moment of my life.
00:38:51
Speaker
And because I've lit up, ah these flames shed bright light in a 40 foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet. But then they dissipate. Are they still there?
00:39:02
Speaker
They're still there. Okay, cool. The weapon is a blaze. Great. And it deals an extra Oh, you've lit your flametongue blade. yeah Yeah, I've just blazed it up as a bonus action.
00:39:13
Speaker
Awesome. Spend your gold, spend the spell, and we will jump to Seth Ferroever. It's really bright now, so I don't really need that the lantern.
00:39:24
Speaker
I wasted this, goddammit! So... In terms of economies of actions, Danny, how much does it cost for me to draw my swords?
00:39:37
Speaker
Do the part of the attack action. Yeah. Okay. If you're going to attack with it, it doesn't go to cost you anything. Okay, cool, cool. Well, I'm kind of going to attack. So the the one that tried to eat Alpha.
00:39:50
Speaker
Yes. Is it on the tent or has it crushed the tent? It's crushed the tent. It's like the back of its body is still on it. Is any of the tent still kind of standing? and picture Picture something walking across the cross the top cross beam of a tent, that snapping in half.
00:40:07
Speaker
So it's sort of like snapped and it's on that. So the like the two pegs at the either end of the tent, the entrance and exit, if you will, they're upright but folding. Okay. And in terms of the the general construction of this tent, I'll get to my point in a minute, I promise. yeah The general construction of this tent Wooden linen.
00:40:26
Speaker
Wooden inside, linen on top. Okay. Yep. Okay, okay, okay. So what Seth is going to do is he is going to take a fucking liberty here slightly with you, Danny. So at any moment, stop me, get me to make rolls, whatever you need me to do, or just tell no.
00:40:41
Speaker
I've got this creature that's just trying to chomp on Alpha just to his, directly in his line of sight, like the way he came. He's got a tent just to his left at the way he looks. What i want to do is I want to run, jump, climb, do something to climb up the edge of it and then jump from that tent position onto the back of this Chitinus fuckery.
00:41:04
Speaker
And I want to mount it in some way and stab it in the back multiple times with some scimitars. but I want to be on it in order to do that. though I don't want to fight it on the ground.
00:41:15
Speaker
that's that's I want to climb it or I want to go on the tent and then I've got the move. I've got plenty of movement to to climb up and jump, et cetera. um It's just the logistics of of of that motion really. So well is that no, I can just hit it.
00:41:32
Speaker
It's your call. I will say make an acrobatics or athletics check. Your choice is to which one you think is most important. apt for you okay and uh i'll i have a dc in my head if you meet it yes to all of those things okie dokie okie dokie so uh to begin with that is a 10 but if i take into consideration the bless fuck that's one
00:42:00
Speaker
I'm prepped out. How many is prep die? Any exhaustion? Someone else said it. I've got no exhaustion. I've got three prep die left, I think. and Now we've got two left now. i'm one of now Sorry. Shit. That's 13.
00:42:12
Speaker
Yeah. yeah I'll say that you successfully managed to sort of scale the full intent I stood above it, scimitar at the ready. All right. I'm go jump on its back. I'm going to stab it.
00:42:23
Speaker
for it. Multiple times. so just you You have advantage because of trunks. Ah, fucking hell, Trunks. Give me advantage. He's brought him up there, which means he's going to kill him.
00:42:34
Speaker
Right. So my first attack, as he's in the air, the scimitar's come out and silently he's going to land and he's going to take a swing. I'm aiming like at the back of the head, like of of of the carapace where the body joins the head. That's where he's aiming.
00:42:49
Speaker
and And so the first hit is ah with his scimitar of wounding, which is a nice, tasty 25 to hit, which... ah to hit which If it hits, does it hit? It does.
00:43:00
Speaker
Okay. Initially, that does nine points of um nine points of slashing damage. as I haven't actually used this before, but it also gains nine points of necrotic damage as this black icor starts to leak into its neck.
00:43:16
Speaker
and That's the first attack. The second attack is with his other hand, the regular scimitar he's got with his left is offhand. ah Same again, 25 to hit. add And that's just a that's just a regular and scimitar attack, which is a pithy five points of damage.
00:43:35
Speaker
the second attack The pithy five points of damage was all you needed for the second attack. Fucking hell. That one is also dead. bang And you fall, like you sort of Legolas style ride it down as it just sort of collapses.
00:43:55
Speaker
Has that been taken damage beforehand? Yeah, Alpha. I lightning bolted it. Of course, yes. That's fucking cool. i've got I've got a third attack. I've got a bonus action attack, and I'm going to use it anyway. and I know it's dead anyway, but with the Scimitar of Ruining, I'm just going to... um if I assume I was kind of hacking for the head to come off then. um The head's there on the ground. i' just go take the bonus action. and i He's just going to, with the scimitar of wounding again as a bonus action, just try and fucking hit it to slice it in half.
00:44:23
Speaker
Just to hit it, pretty much. Go ahead. or go ahead and it's ah it's ah It's a success, an instant success. It's a 22 to hit. instances like Instant success. 10 points of damage. Slice that fucker in half, straight in half.
00:44:36
Speaker
um Could you make a nature check for me? A nature check? I'm well natural. ah Okay, I'm rolling really well for that. Not so much for this. 14. You've never seen this creature before, but you understand an insect from ah from a mammal, right? From ah from a fish.
00:44:54
Speaker
You understand the idea of an exoskeleton and and this sort of thing. You also understand insects like bees have um a lead female that carries a lot of...
Seth's Acrobatic Attack and Consequences
00:45:06
Speaker
ah The young in its larva form, and in younger forms.
00:45:13
Speaker
So when you pull your blade out that third time and a swarm of flying insects follow your blade out, ah fuck you're not surprised or you at least you realize exactly what you've done. It is an oh fuck moment as this swarm of insects just comes out of this this sort sack you have pierced and...
00:45:37
Speaker
felt For all intents purposes, you are surrounded in darkness, but it it is a load of like swarming wasps, for want of a better analogy, just encompassing you. Bees!
00:45:48
Speaker
They're going to lay eggs in your face. yeah They're going to take its initiative turn, and it's their turn now, Seth. this Is there anything else you want to do He would scream, but he can't.
00:46:00
Speaker
ah So no, nothing. nothing i've I've stupidly... ne that ah I've got a reaction, but ive the only thing I can do with my reaction Counterspell, and it's not a spell, so no, got nothing.
00:46:12
Speaker
In which case, this swarm are going to take two bites at you. For a 18 to hit? ah Hits.
00:46:22
Speaker
And a 19 to hit? Hits. You will take...
00:46:31
Speaker
22 points of piercing damage. Excellent. As you get stung and bitten all manner of times. Cool. ah You say it's like darkness, as in I can't see out.
00:46:43
Speaker
Can anyone see in? Yeah, they like it's just like a swirling vortex, but they they can sort of see in this. You know, that Winnie the Pooh when he gets chased by bees. Oh, yeah.
00:46:54
Speaker
it Yeah. and This Winnie the Pooh is face down in the sand. I'm i'm down. I'm downed. Oh, shit. Fucking hell. Two acid attacks. Winnie the Pooh dug too greedily and too deep. Okay.
00:47:10
Speaker
Two more things are going to happen. They're laying eggs in your ears now. It's just the eye socket that that doesn't have an eye and they're all in there now. ah Danny, yeah and so my orb, now you tell me to shut the fuck up and I should know better.
00:47:24
Speaker
My orb can jump to one more creature ah because I cast it at third and it increments like the dice damage goes from 3d8 to 5d8, one for each level. The orb can make a jump to a fourth.
00:47:39
Speaker
Okay. No, third. This would be a third, wouldn't it? One, two, three. 90 foot.
00:47:46
Speaker
Do with that as you will, but the orb would obviously go to the Emron character. What's the range of the bounce? It doesn't say. It just says... 30 feet. Oh, 30 feet, it does say.
00:47:59
Speaker
Thanks, Callum. Sorry, friend. You're welcome. that Oh, no. Oh, never mind. It's good. It's too far away. I knew that. I was just putting this in for flavor. 30 feet from the original casted point.
00:48:12
Speaker
ah From each bounce. From each... ah Oh, there's this will reach. If you want to go to that next one. if your If you're counting edge to edge rather than center to center yeah within 30 feet. would would you Would you allow it? Could you say that the entirety of Mark's turn is all has been so slow?
00:48:26
Speaker
usually Usually, for seasoned players, I'd say, no, go fuck yourself. But because you're new to D&D, you're new to this process. so And it's nice. I will take this.
00:48:38
Speaker
Thank you very much. Yes, can, because you haven't cast a spell in about two years. but if you know That's an incredible 32 points of fire damage on that son of bitch. Oh, I need a bonus hit! Don't use the survival dice!
00:48:53
Speaker
Oh my god. You do have two for debt if you do have two preparation die already. don't. No. That's got to last us the whole fucking journey to the... No, we're good. We're good. We're good. Minus four.
00:49:05
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's With 32 points of fire damage on that son of a bitch.
00:49:17
Speaker
Dead. No, that's on everyone's one. On everyone's That other one's still there. My apologies. Fucking hell. a B... Crit hits your armor class.
00:49:32
Speaker
ah Yes, a crit does hit my armor class. You're going to take... Double damage. Well, I mean, a crit automatically hits. It doesn't matter. no and You're taking 18 points of slashing damage. can take it.
00:49:48
Speaker
And 8 points of acid damage. I can still take it. And I need... Oh, no, you're grappled. Okay. No shit. That's that one. The other one that has just seen all of its friends get burned and it felt got burned itself is going to just charge straight at you, Nyx Carell, and you are going to get hit by the same bite for a 15 hit your armor class.
00:50:09
Speaker
our Meets and beats. Well played. Are you within five foot of me?
00:50:15
Speaker
he within five foot of me, Danny? Nyx is. Yeah, okay. So seeing this, as Barthes kind of keeping an eye on Nick, as you said that, I'm going use my reaction, burn a hit dice, and use my band of sand, basically pocket sand, but like pummel his hand down, and the the the ground around him just puffs up the sand. So it's disadvantage on the attack roll.
00:50:38
Speaker
Nice. Awesome. That's my reaction. That's my boy. Well, if it works, it might not. ah It's exactly the same. Go, fuck that then. Nice try, though.
00:50:48
Speaker
ah It is eight points of slashing damage, nicks, and two points of acid damage, and you are also grappled. What
00:51:00
Speaker
what the fuck was that? That was me being grappled. Emron, we are with you, Emron. You are grappled. What do want to hang on. i need to make a concentration check for my ah bless.
00:51:12
Speaker
You do. you do What's the total amount damage, Danny? ah It was...
Combat Challenges and Humor
00:51:20
Speaker
I rolled a 22.
00:51:23
Speaker
You're fine. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, I rolled a crit on that one. um Cool. Okay, so Emron's being hoisted in the air by this ah creature. I'm going to hit it with my hammer. Go for it. Why the fuck not?
00:51:36
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:51:44
Speaker
That's... Yeah. Not going to hit at the moment.
00:51:53
Speaker
That's a 10 to hit. Miss. Yeah. Fuck. Anything else with your 10? me have look.
00:52:07
Speaker
Didn't you ever used to have a dancing pole axe thing that was on fire that would do stuff? I do, but it's a concentration spell as well as blessed nowadays. Back in the day, could cast both. Can't anymore. There are some kind of aspects, but do let you do it.
00:52:21
Speaker
Pardon? Folly's book of bullshit. Yeah. think I think it's a feat that basically lets you have a firm spiritual weapon and... Yes. um You're right, actually. That's called the pull the wool over the eyes of the DM.
00:52:34
Speaker
Yeah. ah yeah I'm pretty sure two contraries, but I'm going to try to see what the feat is, Callum, but check that for me. You know, two feet. You have two feet to walk on, so two feet, you can... That's the way works.
00:52:45
Speaker
Danny, I'm going to cast a healing... word I'm going to spend a bonus action to cast Healing Word on myself. Awesome.
00:52:52
Speaker
I'm
00:52:56
Speaker
going to give myself seven points of healing. Sounds great. That takes us to then top of the round, which is Alpha.
00:53:06
Speaker
Okay. um it Is Seth still down? Seth is still down, and you can see him just being continually stung. Right. Okay. um I've checked the details on this. I'm very close, but I don't even know if this is going to work depending on what kind of swarm it is. But Alpha's going to see Seth down, and he's going to run towards him.
00:53:29
Speaker
um And with the original intention of trying to... and you know, just drag him into a safer area. But as he kind of does, the sparks kind of begin to fly um again a bit just around him.
00:53:46
Speaker
And I want to cast Thunderstep. Okay. So basically, hopefully that will, if I read it right, I can take a willing creature.
00:53:57
Speaker
Yep. I mean, it's not willing, but I can leave behind what is not there. So I'm hoping I'll be able to take Seth away from all these swarming insects. Yep. And basically almost teleport um just to the south of Trunks, because I can move up to 90 feet, as long as I can obviously see where I'm going.
00:54:18
Speaker
um That would also... require a constitution saving throw from the swarm. What's the range of... Ten feet. You're also going to catch trunks.
00:54:29
Speaker
I thought I was just on the edge. Are you willing? don't think... Can you be unconscious and willing? Because there's a lot of... I think if you're unconscious, you're not going to make a choice. This was the only query. I don't want to do it if I'm going to hit trunks.
00:54:45
Speaker
um i I'd say it's within the margin that you could... You could trigger the ability the other side of set so it doesn't splash as far as trunks. Okay. Okay. I'm happy to do that. I'll blow up the tent.
00:54:57
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. For what's left of it. Okay. So what am I doing? Con save? Con save, yes. Danny, um can you be willing if you are unconscious? You can't be unwilling.
00:55:08
Speaker
Fucking hell.
00:55:12
Speaker
say Keep it green. Keep it green. I don't think you have a choice. I don't think you're you're willing or unwilling in that instance. So there needs to be a willing character, willing creature.
00:55:26
Speaker
I'm not trying to renege his thing. and try no i know' i'm not going to be I'm not going to argue with you. it just say The spell does specifically say, you can open the purple, one willing creature of your size or smaller. Because otherwise you could knock out a bad guy and drag him wherever the fuck you like. Turns out Google search has, um this is a hot topic, so clearly it has been a thing.
00:55:45
Speaker
ah You can't give your consent when you're on unconscious. just Jeremy Crawford said that. yeah As did the law. Oh God. yeah Mine took me direct to the government website. I don't know why.
00:55:59
Speaker
so i think in this i think in occasion you can't please report to magistrate's court next one it's tricky isn't it because it says explicitly says willing but you can't you can't yes but consent danny says you can't provide consent and if that is a condition that callum needs it does say uh within five of you you can also teleport one willing creature yeah so you can't and Stevie Unconscious was willing a charm to deceive creature might be willing yeah okay sorry Callum I didn't want to know no okay that's fine I was trying to get you out of that because if that does like to attack to you then it's just like fuck me would you cast it anyway though as a result not that I'm trying to kill Seth off but just try and teleport it's like move oh I've left you with how you can't talk kill him now kill him now kill me kill you can come with oh wait you can't choose boom and then ah oh shit
00:56:52
Speaker
In that case, I'm going to stay back. I'm going to... and that case and i'm going stay back i'm going to think of something i can do in this kind of situation alpha's mind is racing had a few goes to massively um well and we need to clarify that shut up um and range is going to come to my mind and i'm going to try and replicate one of the spells that he does and i'm going to go and cast attempt to cast magic missile um on the actual swarm itself you're not going to cast i'm not going to say a healing spell perhaps don't know yeah
00:57:26
Speaker
Well, seeing, funny thing, since I've moved t um classes, I don't have healing spells for other people now. Something I did not realize. um How many do I do?
00:57:39
Speaker
Okay, so it's four darts. The dart deals one d four
00:57:50
Speaker
Well, that's not fantastic. 13 points of force damage. and Four darts just kind of emanate from Alpha's electrical energy that he's generating.
00:58:05
Speaker
Thank you very much. You were able sort of remove about two-thirds of the swarm with the impact of those darts. yes ma Awesome.
00:58:16
Speaker
Awesome. That's fine. um that your go? Yes. Yeah, yeah, that's everything I'll do. All right, Balvar Khan.
00:58:25
Speaker
To the west of you is is one of these Ankhegs trying to devour Nyx. and To the north of you, another one currently devouring Emron. yeah And Seth is on the floor being stung to death.
00:58:37
Speaker
Well, at top of my turn, 2d6 hit points goes straight to Seth, my boy and Because that's part of the spell that I've got up. So you get eight points of healing back.
00:58:49
Speaker
Thanks, friend. I imagine Seth's got a really puffy face. No.
00:58:55
Speaker
ah problem um Instinctually, he will ah kind of, um seeing that Nyx has been trapped, that's going to be his attention initially.
00:59:07
Speaker
And what he's going to do, you'll see him breathe fire into his hands. It's a spell you've seen him do several times before. um but this time he's going to suck it back up into his mouth and close his eyes, and it's going to originate from the Wildfire Spirit 20 feet in the air.
00:59:22
Speaker
ah So a second level Scorching Ray is going to start blasting its way down to the one that Nyx has ah for, oh God, i'm going to need Bless for this. Fortunately, I have got Bless. It's 12 originally, but I have rolled a 1. It's 13.
00:59:39
Speaker
For the first Ray. Misses. Yep, thought it would. We've got a D6. We've got a D6. I mean, I could have a D6. Yeah, but I'm not going to. ah Second ray is not much better. It's 13 initially. Come on, bless.
00:59:56
Speaker
That's a bit better. 16 to hit. hits awesome ah so that one will take a tasty 7 points but because it's also a spell and my wildfire spirit's out I get an extra so 7 plus 7 14 points of fire damage to the one who Nyx is on nice um And if it's still up, then the third and final It's just holding the X with all of its strength.
01:00:20
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's a bullshit roll. Again, I've been rolling turds. ah There's a 13 hit. Misses, I'm afraid. Just misses.
01:00:31
Speaker
That's fine. So you'll see this wildfire spirit basically ah kind of eyes kind of aglow and its mouth will open and these rays will fire down ah some two of them fucking up and missing. But then I'm going to use my movement to get up onto, use half my movement to mount trunks so that I'm kind of barebacking him.
01:00:50
Speaker
worth And I will instinctually get my wildfire spirit to travel the 30 feet down to Nick's. and use its teleportation feature basically to get him out of its mouth.
01:01:04
Speaker
Okay. ah If Nyx is willing. And if so, I need a DC 15 dex saving throw from the creature. We all heard that Nyx was willing.
01:01:17
Speaker
You say it was a 20. 20 on the saving throw. Cool. It takes no damage, but Nyx, you are teleported right behind me onto Trunks' back.
01:01:29
Speaker
Whoa! As I kind of grab the reins and and kind of twist it around somewhat ah to face the combatants. Sorry, I'm wrong. I was hoping that I'd kill it, but I didn't. so It's fine. It's fine. It's cool.
01:01:41
Speaker
i've I've left you out again. Yeah. I've got hit points for days. But thanks for the blessed friend. ah So yeah, that's me. I'm on top of Trunks' back. He's on top of Trunks' back. I've kind grabbed his his reins somewhat and wheeled him round to face the fight.
01:01:57
Speaker
um nice and So that he like's not he's not facing away. But the the emanation of the the aura is with me as well. But that's me. then that leaves us to Nyx Carell.
01:02:08
Speaker
Okay. Nyx is little bit shaken up and it's almost like Ian planned a turn and now has to make one up on the fly. So he's going to, ah yeah jut out one of his hands, still holding the blade, but from it will come uh,
01:02:22
Speaker
ah this purple energy that emanates from his horns travels all the way down, but there's two this time instead of one. The right horns, purple energy goes down the right shoulder and through the right hand that is pointed towards ah so the creature next to Emron.
01:02:40
Speaker
And the purple energy from his left horn goes down his left shoulder and out the left hand. That's ah that's directed towards the one that had just grappled him. He's going to cast because he's of level five now.
01:02:53
Speaker
Eldritch blast, two blasts, boom, boom, like two gunshots. ah So get first let's go for the one that had, let's go for Emron. Okay. Let's try and get him.
01:03:05
Speaker
Let's try and sort him out. and MVP Nick's here. He's going to take out the whole thing. Pew pew. Not MVP. ah That is a... Bless that, buddy.
01:03:17
Speaker
Minus four, then add four. Add your D4. but It's not going to hit, is it? No.
01:03:26
Speaker
Nope. That's just not going to hit. That's below 10.
01:03:31
Speaker
that misses yeah uh on seeing that he's gonna redirect quickly at last minute change his left hand over from what was directed at the grappled and just swing it quickly to take a quick fire shot over emron's shoulder uh again i'm trying buddy i'm trying right uh okay that's 11 with a bless is 12 no man you have prep day oh Do you want me to spend it? i'm going to no don okay the nights No, it's just it fires off into the distance.
01:04:09
Speaker
Okay, so both of these just be you miss and go out into the desert. We move on to Seth, your turn. i have I have a bonus action.
01:04:19
Speaker
Go for it.
01:04:22
Speaker
How far am I from Emron? She's the ruler of power. ah nobody 40 feet. Yeah, out of range. Sorry, buddy.
01:04:33
Speaker
You're good. It's alright. I've got armor for days. It's Seth's turn. Seth's going to wake up with a mouth full of sand and hear this buzzing noise above his head and think it's either his head or his heart or his ears or something. And he's just is combat and fighting around him. And boom, he's back in back in war.
01:04:54
Speaker
And he's going to go in autopilot mode. And he's going to stand up. He's still got his scimitars in hand. And he's going to sprint towards someone he sees in trouble. And he sees through the collapse. Are you still surrounded by a swarm of bees? Yeah, you'll take an opportunity to attack from the swarm. It's above his head. he's got He doesn't see...
01:05:11
Speaker
How am I going to attack bees with a sword? Ain't got anything about that. I ain't got anything for that. Ain't got time for that. I see a friend and with a big fucking creature. i can kill that. I was just checking that Mark knew that there were bees. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm fully aware. I'm fully aware.
01:05:25
Speaker
i'm I'm going for the bees. I can't swipe at the bees. yeah He's not thinking about the bees. He's going to run. And I can't get there with just my movement. So he will use his ah action to dash to get...
01:05:38
Speaker
into a position if, again, this is if I don't get downed by the bees. Bees! He's going to run, run, run, and slide. This is if he doesn't die. Actually, should I just move away? I'm going to move away. You're going to take another junitor. Yeah, do that first before I do any my cool shit if I survive. 16 to hit.
01:06:01
Speaker
Wait a minute, Mr. Postman. Oh. Verbal fuck. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I've got Counterspell.
01:06:12
Speaker
That's not going to help. What about Minor Illusion? can't use Preparation Die. You can use it to deduct from one of my rolls if you want. You just want us to burn them.
01:06:25
Speaker
Yes, I do. Sorry again, guys. Nah, he's pushing it hard. It's like it's like my my crack cocaine dealer. You're exactly the same as him there, Danny. Um...
01:06:39
Speaker
Well, I got eight healing. I got eight. I can take it. Okay. Hit me, bitch. At that point, he realized he couldn't take it.
01:06:48
Speaker
Wait, wait, wait. What does heroic inspiration do again? ah can re-roll something. Oh, you roll with advantage. I would re-roll something. I ain't rolling anything. Fuck. Okay, never mind.
01:07:00
Speaker
So... The thing with swarms is they do less damage the less health they're on and So if you were to take a full damage there, it was exactly eight. You take four points of piercing damage. water You're welcome.
01:07:15
Speaker
Easy. But the swarm stays on you, though. Ah, fuck!
01:07:20
Speaker
it's cool it's going with you be em on we're dealing with this we are going to sprint em on we're dealing with this
01:07:30
Speaker
it he's seeing anything but you running towards him fucking doneopy um and he's going to run full pelt full like uh fucking uh what's his name ping pong man uh Forrest Gump.
01:07:46
Speaker
Forrest Gump, thank you. Forrest Gump running directly to through the sand, padding towards the sand, and he's going to see this creature. He's ignoring the beast despite the damage he's taking. Feel the pain on his back, on his face, on his eye socket hole, everywhere across his body, these these these waspy things getting at him.
01:08:02
Speaker
But he's going to see the creature and understand the best place to be is behind it. And he's going to run alongside. And Emron, your peripheral vision is going have a fucking field day. Seeing Seth just limping away with bees chasing after him as he runs around the back of the sandkeg just to give you um to to build some tactical advantage in our fight against it. Unaware of anything else that's gone on here. i appreciate you, Mark.
01:08:26
Speaker
then I can't use, oh, I've got a bonus action, but my only real use of the bonus action, I think, is just to hit if I've already hit. Misty Step, Shadow Blade, nope, nope. Blade Song, nope. Enhanced Dual Wielding, I've got to have attacked first. So, no, that's all I'm going do. Stand there and maybe slap his hands together and kill one single bee just for flavor.
01:08:49
Speaker
It's the bee's turn. They're going to take a bite at you. Counterspell. ah They're using magic. I know it.
01:09:01
Speaker
Fucking bees. want to bring any raid? Can raid? Fucking bees. 19. Points of damage? No, 19 to hit. Oh, yeah, 100%.
01:09:11
Speaker
You take five points of piercing damage as you just continually get stung. You had a vantage there, Emron. And now you've got bees. I'm going to save you. Yeah. Have the bees. Have the bees. and the does it Does it, however, though, does it need to be a willing creature to create advantage, though? You need to be conscious. need to be conscious to provide. um I know. I just imagine this idea that Seth ran and then got to the creature and they just face-planted it. I'm here to help. get off Help me.
01:09:42
Speaker
<unk> Help you. Help me. I'm down. I'm down. I'm down again. You're down again. You're down again. Well, you're not going to the only I'm having good time. You're not going to be the only one who's down, by the looks of things. and So it's the Ankeg's turn. These two remaining insects must what strength. This one that is was barely able to hold Nyx up in that last from that last scorching ray is just with everything it's got going to charge at Trunks in an attempt to just bring Trunks down with you two on top of it.
01:10:12
Speaker
Don't like this. It's going to make a bite attack at Trunks.
01:10:19
Speaker
It's a crunk sign. It rolled a 25 on Trunks. What if I was to use my reaction again and burn another hit dice and pocket sand that bitch?
01:10:31
Speaker
So disadvantage, please. I'll burn a... Okay. It rolled 23 on the second. Perfect. Good use of the hit dice. Nice. Okay.
01:10:43
Speaker
Okay.
01:10:45
Speaker
Trunks has less... He's got an armor class of 12, hasn't he? Yes. Let's not stop in 23, Will. and Trunks, however, has single digit hit points remaining.
01:10:58
Speaker
FYI. And he is too big to be grappled. So you're not in this a weird... um concoction where the Ankek is grappling the elephant that's hosting you to.
01:11:12
Speaker
That would be cool. Leaning Tower of Pisa. That's not happening, but Trunks lets out this almighty bellow that sort of echoes around the canyons into the night.
01:11:24
Speaker
How many hit points does Trunks have to start with? Not many. And you rode him through the night without stopping, so Nick says all about that. Heyo! That was too exhausting.
01:11:37
Speaker
The one that's currently got Emron in its mandibles is just going to swallow Emron. Because Emron wasn't able to break the grapple.
01:11:49
Speaker
What? Oh god, this is men in black. Emron. What the hell? Within a few seconds, you are inside the belly of the beast.
01:12:00
Speaker
You are taking 2d6 acid damage every round. You are restrained. And you are technically underwater.
01:12:12
Speaker
So whatever that does for breath control. I don't imagine your breath will outlast the You're going to take every six seconds. But you will watch as you see Seth go behind this creature. The bees follow and then Seth fall down.
01:12:23
Speaker
And then Emron just gets pulled into this creature's gullet.
01:12:33
Speaker
Fuck. Oh, fuck. You take okay okay five points of acid damage as you begin your turn.
01:12:46
Speaker
ah Actually, before, you're going to take that damage. With the Ankeg's movement, it has a burrow speed, and you watch as it's going to begin with Emron in its gullet to dig.
01:12:59
Speaker
It can only move at 10 feet a second, so it just sort of dips half of its body into the earth.
01:13:08
Speaker
Now it's your turn, Emron, and you take that damage. Fuck me. Emron, would you like to do? You are restrained, and you are underwater, so you can't really use but verbal, I'm not sure, actually.
01:13:18
Speaker
okay Okay, so... New D&D 2024 rules. I'm going to activate my Celestial relevant Revelation, which doesn't take an action anymore. Come on, Tilwa. And I'm going to use Inner Radiance. so All of a sudden, the inside of this creature is going to start glowing with bright light. Fuck yeah. As I'm going to take on a Tilwa form, it's also going to take... ah You don't change size, do you?
01:13:40
Speaker
Nope. Okay. It also takes three points of radiant damage from the inside. Thank you very much. Very good. Um...
01:13:52
Speaker
Burst out his throat like a fucking angel.
01:13:57
Speaker
Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone in the morning. It's not a bonus action anymore. i don't think it is. And when the anchor comes like a camping trunk, he's going to die, die, And when a set the Seth and the B is going to kill himself twice.
01:14:14
Speaker
And with the healing fires in the house on Flyblade and they're trying to find it. I don't know what to say. It's great ad lib. You get inspiration. and lie It doesn't matter. I'm dying in the desert.
01:14:27
Speaker
I'm also going use second wind because second wind doesn't take an action either. Excellent. I'm going to give myself 1d10 plus 2 extra hit points to keep lasting a bit longer. Very good.
01:14:40
Speaker
I'll take another 7 points of healing on myself. Great. And then even though I'm at a disadvantage, I am. Yeah, I'm going to do it. I'm going to cast word of, I can't speak. Can I have check if underwater means you can't.
01:14:56
Speaker
If you're underwater, no verbal, unfortunately. Yeah. No verbals. No oral underwater. That's annoying. Naturally. Is that annoying? Not being able to do verbal things. Well,
01:15:08
Speaker
Yes, it is very annoying. I'd hate to have a character without verbal clans. Oh, no. I'm so i and leaning into it. It's funny. ah If I can't use verbals, then I am going to just try and hit my way out of this thing as I'm slowly drowning.
01:15:25
Speaker
Fucking hell. Go for it. I'm digesting. At disadvantage. this with you With Bless yourself? With Bless, yes. Hang on, let me write let roll concentration check.
01:15:38
Speaker
e Come on.
01:15:44
Speaker
That's a 15. You're still up. Okay, come on. Disadvantage.
01:15:51
Speaker
Disadvantage. Have you got heroic inspiration because of being human? I do. have Well, not human, but I do have heroic inspiration from a previous session, if it's still valid. It's there until you you guys use it.
01:16:04
Speaker
What's that? Adding a d6 now? Is that just... no they give The 17 hits. No, it's not a 17. Technically, you've got to minus my exhaustion levels. I'm a exhaustion level. ah That's a 15. That hits.
01:16:18
Speaker
Okay, cool. ah Yes, Emron.
01:16:29
Speaker
Come on. So it takes eight points of bludgeoning damage.
01:16:37
Speaker
And, ah, it's verbal, so I can't add on s searing to might. um Can I use my push feature and physically move it in a direction? Because it's part of my weapon mastery.
01:16:51
Speaker
going to say no, because you you need to be the opposing force here, and you are in its same gravitational pull. Yeah, the same Rain Man. Rain Man. Fuck. I thought I'd ask. and I would add s Searing Smite, but that requires verbal components, so I can't.
01:17:05
Speaker
That's a Rain Man reference there. Thanks, dude. So that's it. Just eight points of bludgeoning damage, and then it also took the three points of radiant damage. Awesome. So just keep track of your breath, please, as we go through. Yep.
01:17:19
Speaker
It is top of the round, Alpha. Yay! I've just seen my other dad get eaten. um yeah um It's the sequel to I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus.
01:17:41
Speaker
ah Christ. Alpha's going to move his 30 feet ah to the north. I'm sorry. Did you just burp? I'm glad I heard it too. Someone did. Someone did some sickly burp there. That was like, I did not burp.
01:18:01
Speaker
my but i'm not sickly I will be honest. We will isolate your fucking track, Callum, and find this show. By all means. I did not burp. I can guarantee you. my burbs you are no I will name in shame. i will name in shame. This could be the start of the episode. I don't know. but like but I'm glad i'm glad it and you bring that up because I furrowed my brow thinking, hang a minute, and then I saw your brow furrow as well, and I thought, Ian's onto it too. He heard it Oh. God.
01:18:29
Speaker
oh
01:18:32
Speaker
acid reflux i've looked at the um drowning rules as well danny just so you know cool keep an on them yeah yep anyway i'll few minutes of breath well done alpha's gonna move over towards the collapsed tent he's gonna see the one attacking trunks and obviously trunks probably in being in a really really bad way Everyone's been eaten.
01:18:59
Speaker
Fuck that. um I'm going to attempt to cast Sorcerous Burst on Ankhag E, which is the one that is attacking Trunks. Was that Sorcerous Burp?
01:19:14
Speaker
warned you about that.
Victory and Strategy Discussion
01:19:18
Speaker
um I can actually pick which kind of damage I do to this one. Okay. Saucy.
01:19:24
Speaker
saucy Which is It's actually a 27 to hit. That will hit. Holy shit.
01:19:33
Speaker
It changes its lightning with its thunder damage.
01:19:38
Speaker
and That is just 8 points of thunder damage. only had one after the Scorching Ray. Yes! It is down. really low One remains.
01:19:50
Speaker
Anything else you'd like to do with your turn?
01:19:59
Speaker
so Yes, I will um spend a couple pull more of my sorcery points um to do a spell as a bonus action, because the sorceress thing I did before was a cantrip, not a spell.
01:20:16
Speaker
um And I'm going to do ah second level magic missile again, which is going to another four darts going at the thing that just eats an Emron.
01:20:28
Speaker
Okay. Okay.
01:20:31
Speaker
that damage You might want to do it dart by dart. I can do if you want. um Because you will have destroyed it on its second dart and there's still a swarm. Ah, okay. So the first dart would have done two points of force damage. Yep.
01:20:47
Speaker
The second one would have done four points of force damage. Yep. Still up? It is down by that point. It is down by that point. So if I see kind of collapse and go limb, then the other two, yeah, I will move to the swarm of insects, ah which is five points of force damage.
01:21:08
Speaker
And then another four points of force damage. And they are destroyed also. As you just unleash this volley and just discard the rest of your enemies that you can see, this half-borrowed mass of chidness ichor just spills around the battlefield and sort of almost like a little lake just encompasses Seth in this sort of green goo, and Emron is just there panting after the whole six six seconds you had to hold your breath for.
01:21:42
Speaker
and You are out of combat, but I'll keep you in initiative because Seth is making death saves.
01:21:49
Speaker
Is that you good? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's nothing else can do. It is Barl's turn first. Cool. Awesome. So with the aura of vitality up, it has to be at the start of my turn. So that's nine points of healing back into Trunks.
01:22:02
Speaker
um From that, as some of the fire comes in and kind of singes some of the wounds shut. What is Barl? Sorry, what is Trunks' movement speed? of interest. It is... Because I need to get just under 60 feet. Fast motherfucker.
01:22:18
Speaker
he's a fu but the fuckckerran nobody likes him killed it forty
01:22:24
Speaker
40. Amazing. ah then if because he's can he be a can He's a controlled mount, I suppose. is easy Yeah, and yeah and so I can use my movement to get him or use his movement, basically, um which is what I'd like to do. So i'm going to have I've got Nyx on the back.
01:22:40
Speaker
I'm kind of leading Trunks and I'll i'll move him round to kind of stampede towards where Emron kind of was guzzled. See those darts. did do do did you come in and just kind of bring that creature down and and the kind of swarm behind as well and see Seth once more ah semi-lifeless on the floor behind and what I'll do if i if I I don't know what the rules are regarding this if I'm using the creature's movement speed can I dismount and use my own afterwards or is it all used up in one? so you use the action you use an action to move it Is it an action to move it if it's a controlled mount?
01:23:18
Speaker
Or is it do I just use its movement speed? Let me consult the old.
01:23:26
Speaker
I think if it was an untamed mount...
01:23:30
Speaker
I'm on the player's handbook right now. I'll let you know. That's all right. No, it'd be good to know. Either way, if i like if I need to use an action to move it, I wouldn't move it, basically. I'd use the Wildfire Spirit's teleportation alongside my movement to get there.
01:23:42
Speaker
um But I might be wrong, but my understanding is if it's a trained mount, I use its movement speed, or I can use its movement speed as well. But I don't know whether that uses all of my personal as well. So like if I can get it to dash, or not dash, if I can get it to run that far and then dismount and run further or not.
01:24:02
Speaker
I don't know. don't know either. You know, I do know. I know, but you know what? I'm not going to say. So a control mount can move and act even on the turn that you mount it. Yeah. Yeah.
01:24:16
Speaker
um It moves on your turn as you direct it. and it has three action options during your turn. Well, Danny dan had turned like eight or nine pages to find that shit, man. You guys Google and ruin his life. and I'm on D&D Beyond as well. Can Trunks use Trunks' is turn to dash to get me there?
01:24:31
Speaker
So I didn't roll him in. No. um but if he's If I mount him and he's trained, he technically shares my initiative, I believe is the ruling, but I might be might be wrong.
01:24:42
Speaker
The initiative of a controlled mount changes to match yours when you mount it. This guy. It moves on your turn as you direct it. It has three action options. Does that mean when you mount me, I get your initiative? I just dash to the finish line, baby.
01:24:56
Speaker
ah Which means ive Hey, come on, it's your turn now. I believe that he you still have the rest of your movement, so you could use to get off it, I believe. Yeah. It's not if like explicitly saying that you have to use an action to control it, or it uses your speed in place.
01:25:13
Speaker
yeah if Either way, I'll get it to dash. I'll basically kick my heels in, get him to run to the side of Seth so that I can drop off ah it, and then during my turn, um I'm going to use my action to just cast a first level,
01:25:30
Speaker
ah cure wounds and you're going to see the fire bubble up in his mouth again he's going to quickly shoot a sideways glance at Nyx and he is going to lick ah the the wounds if you like closed for um Seth as I mean it's 12 points of healing initially but because my wildfire spirit's out and I get to roll another D8 which is pretty fucking cool which is another 7 to 19 points of healing with a first level spell baby I'm almost back to full
01:26:01
Speaker
but Unreal. But that's what he's going to do, and he's going to see you kind of breathe that life again, and then he turns his attention to the corpse of the creature that probably still has Emron inside. A glowing Emron. He's glowing, radiating light.
01:26:12
Speaker
I think the... the
01:26:16
Speaker
The force of the forced damage from the magic missiles would have been enough to just sort of disintegrate that creature a little bit. Not disintegrate it literally, but break it open, as it were. um So you can just see this this Emron just sort of in this pool of of mucus, Ikor and worse.
01:26:32
Speaker
um There are no possible threats. so That's the end of combat. Yay! um We survived. At the start of every turn, I can heal 2d6, basically, and I believe there's seven more of those to go So I can get Do you want me to roll all of that and split it between the groups? Do you want to take the average of 2d6, which will be...
01:26:54
Speaker
Six? Six. And do want to just give six nine times? and then yeah I imagine to some imagine out of all of us, if everyone just sees how far they are off max, I imagine that everyone there'll be 54 hit points to spare easily. I'm good.
01:27:10
Speaker
um I'll take them. how many how many How many do you need? Well, off max, 22 to take it to max. Okay, so you take 22. How much do you need, Alpha? None. None? Six?
01:27:23
Speaker
15 okay take the 15 so that brings it to 37 seth 19 on top of that 47 i can give you a technically set uh 17 instead of 19 so you're two off max and that's that's that'll be the end of the spell um wow that's huge what a spell that's amazing Nice.
01:27:46
Speaker
You're to see Emron get up. You know, like the Ghostbusters. think this was way to come about the Marshmallow Man. Next time someone asks if we're a god, you say yes. Everyone's going to sort of get up and the the glow that's been radiating from him um quickly recedes as everyone gets closer because otherwise everyone starts taking damage and that's pretty, you know, you guys don't want that.
01:28:10
Speaker
And he's sort of panting. For fuck's sake.
01:28:17
Speaker
Are we all in one piece?
Loot Discovery and Letter Reading
01:28:21
Speaker
Yeah.
01:28:24
Speaker
Yeah. And Nix is just looking down at his hands still. Well done, everyone. ah felt a bit useless in that, not going lie. It does appear that other travelers have had less success and he's kind of, because he's near where that first um ant type of creature died, he's kind of picking up the satchel and the dwarven head that was still attached to the creature.
01:28:48
Speaker
You could just about make out his dwarven but but by what's left, but the satchel is intact. It's almost like wrapped around a tooth and the creature couldn't quite eat it if you want to search. I will be doing, but at the moment he just picked up the satchel, picked up the dwarven head and just kind of showing it to everybody else.
01:29:03
Speaker
ah Seth's going to peel himself off the sand for a second time. I imagine he's got a nice big sweaty sand print down one side of his face now where the sand is stuck to his face.
01:29:17
Speaker
Cakes, but stands himself up, ropey on his legs, RP, not actually because of you've got 36 head points. And he's going to go up to the head of the ant creature thing that had consumed Emron and is just going to wail on it for a while. It's just going to be full strength hacking the fuck out of it.
01:29:37
Speaker
Ick or fucking whatever blood. just it's He's just going to wail on it for a while, get some rage out and won't pay any attention. But just, yeah, be hammering down on it with his scimitar.
01:29:50
Speaker
I'll rummage to the sat shoulders of Seth is letting out his frustration. Sure. And Seth, you get a satisfying crunch with each each hit is doing exactly as intended on these, these carcasses. Excellent. Uh, but Alpha, you find in no particular order, the following, uh, 85 gold pieces, one week's worth of dry rations, a toy horse, a map of beach barrow port, a potion of healing,
01:30:19
Speaker
a silver ring worth 15 gold pieces, and a sealed letter. Ooh, that's ominous. Let's not open that. Not so much like wax sealed, just like and it's enclosed in an envelope. Sorry, should say. Yeah, without even thinking about it, Alfred's going to... Ooh, there's a map of Beach Barrow Port. That could come in handy. Ooh, and a letter.
01:30:40
Speaker
And I'm just going to open the letter. Not even second-guessing it. It reads as follows. Dear Guildmaster Sandrope, I hope this letter finds you in good health and fair winds.
01:30:54
Speaker
I write to you from the heart of these unforgiving chasms, where the sun is cruel and the earth beneath seems alive with its own secrets. My search for the materials you requested is ongoing, though the dangers here are far greater than I anticipated.
01:31:10
Speaker
The sands of this place shift as if with purpose, and the cliffs hide caverns that echo with sounds no dwarf ought to hear alone. I've located promising veins of that rare amber stone we spoke of, as well as shards of crystal that might serve in your designs at the Sailmaker's Guild.
01:31:29
Speaker
Yet extracting them will take time, and perhaps more hands than my own. As you know, my purse is light, and I rely on the promise of your coin to sustain me.
01:31:40
Speaker
If these materials prove as valuable as you suspect, I trust you will see to it that my efforts are met with appropriate compensation. The risks I've undertaken to fulfill your commission are not small.
01:31:54
Speaker
I must cut this letter short. My last torch is burning low and the shadows are growing longer. Something stirs in the depths below. I can feel the vibrations in the stone.
01:32:07
Speaker
If fortune smiles upon me, I shall return to Beach Barra Port within the fortnight. Should this letter reach you and I do not, know that I sought to serve the Sailmakers Guild and your vision to the best of my ability.
01:32:23
Speaker
By Shadow Shield's Forge, I hope to see you again soon. Yours in service, Dernak Ironstride, Journeyman Prospector, Clan Shadow Shield.
01:32:39
Speaker
Alpha would have read that out and then just looks up. Emron, perhaps you knew him. And that's where we're going this week's episode. Whoa! Bell and Draconis. ah Very good. Damn! That was a quick one.
