Speaker
Cast and having seen drago you know get a little woody on and and chop down the yeah, I just picked you up during my move. but the ah hody hody howdy
00:00:40
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop, Bellum Draconis. We are live playing 5E D and&D Podcast set in the magical home-brewed world of Eryth in the Kingdom of Dralak. Joining you for this week's episode, we have Willy who We've got Darin who plays the high alpha Artifice of Rainshad'al. Punch his alien in the face. Welcome to Eryth. The edgelord Kalim who plays the war-forged Artifice of Alpha. Ah, they're coming! They're coming! Ian who plays the Tiefling Warsawer Nyx Carell.
00:01:09
Speaker
But if it bleeds, we can kill it. Poob out here plays the human cleric, Emron. I hope nobody here is wearing a red shirt. My name is Mark and I am playing the human blade singer, Seth Faroreva. And the last, but by no means least, is our vegan that speaks and makes our whole week. Dungeon Master.
00:01:32
Speaker
ah How do you feel about that? Very good. That was very good. the real like ah layer it but but I planned a really good intro ah was fitting um that was that was just too good to but to try and overcome. So well done. I'm sorry, man.
00:01:48
Speaker
I was going to say, what's that coming out of the sky? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What a tune. What
Magical Artifacts and Unveiling of New Powers
00:01:55
Speaker
a tune as well. And speaking of tunes, the roar of the crowd continues as hidden low and sequestered in and amongst the crowd is old Gal as he tries to peek over the crowd to see get a ah glimpse at the hero of the games, but he can't. So instead he just holds the orb up above the crowd and uses it to kind of like look around and as it looks around it clocks.
00:02:17
Speaker
on us and as we zoom in we can just see old girl's reflection, his big beady eyes, his long gone nose and just below just his long curled toes and stretching out and just caressing the the wooden floor most scratching lightly against it each toe individually and as he looks at us and begins.
00:02:38
Speaker
Ooooh, what'd I miss? I tell ya, I just nipped off to get some Kel-trad popcorn, I come back and there's all this kinda poison shit goin' on! Nix has leveled up and then some at the expense of Marota, and he's helplessly sobbing at the feet of Prago. Oh no, turns out Marota made a pact!
00:02:57
Speaker
with another person, maybe even Rego's own brother, and it was if Nix was to die, then she would give her life to prevent it. Oh, so sad. Emron's like, don't worry, boy, we could just resurrect a bitch. But it might not work. And he's like, oh, that's not that helpful. Reigns is like, I'mma stare out some Shadow Man delegation bitches, and I'm gonna shoot Venom from my eyes. Ball comes on down from the sky and gets all reacquainted.
00:03:23
Speaker
Seth gets a reward of some money for killing Valkyrie from the O'Kriscra Lady, and he's like, yeah, I'm a pocket that shit. Pa gets the egg, and then his tattoo glows and glows, and it leaves his arm, and it makes its way through the crowd, and it finds Seth, and it pulls Seth in, and Seth gets the tattoo himself, and Seth's all like, Prago, what the fuck, boy? And then before he can go...
Sky Phenomena and Strategic Responses
00:03:48
Speaker
beat the shit out of that devil bitch there is something cast in the shadow over the sky you know i don't know why i'm looking in the orb i can fucking see it right now there's like 12 shapes they're all coming down prego i can see it in the orb is saying something like the final player enters the stage and then alpha can't be here and you gotta get him out of here and oh fuck it's coming boys so in this moment of panic the very few people have registered have uncertainty alpha you've seen it Emron, you have not. Rains, you have seen it. And Seth, you've seen it.
00:04:29
Speaker
Alpha is you. So look around, and this is probably keeping with your character most to sort of understand, is this a problem? Is this fine? How should I feel about this? With your passive you notice that there are, in a sea of people looking at Baal in Jubilation, there are two people that are fixed on the sky as well. A human. Delmon Trace. And a gnome. Edna Fizzlebang. Daim. Edna Fizzlebang. Both fixated and
00:05:09
Speaker
They immediately spring into action and both begin to head towards the exits. Seth, you've been told by Prago,
00:05:24
Speaker
an arrival is imminent and he looks worried.
00:05:32
Speaker
value-able abuse to this. Nix, you are sort of just recovering emotionally or processing emotionally. I don't think you're in the state of recovery at this point. And Rains, your fury is a bit too fixed to look up.
00:05:48
Speaker
What do you all do in these seconds?
00:05:54
Speaker
Does anyone instinctively do anything? i did Again, it was still a deafening cacophony of the the the crowd around you in Dribbilation. So that's going to turn and see Delmon Trace's leg in it. He's going to turn, point at Alpha, kind of do a beckon-like, come with me, and he's going to totally gonna kind of push shove the back of Prager out of the way, and he is in full sprint after Delmon Trace. so Okay, so... Sorry, party split. My bad. My B, my B, my B. No, this is great. um Seth, you'll be lining out of the arena. Alpha, you're the only one who's probably able to perceive all of this. I'm sorry, Alpha and Reigns, because your perception is just for that check, we're high enough. You see Seth imminently leaving about 20, 30 feet behind down Montrese. Dame Edna Fizzlebang has sort of detoured and has gone into the stadium.
Transforming Creatures and Battle Chaos
00:06:48
Speaker
and this time you're scanning, you're just hearing, what's that? What's that? What is that? What is that? And you you begin to pick out that a few instruments are dropping out of that orchestra. Like, you know, people there's those moments where people are playing a full-on band and then something goes wrong and it's like a couple will keep playing but some have stopped and then this music disappears and then the crowd are sort of re-leveled their cheers in relation to the fact that they're not trying to cheer above ah an orchestra and there is a din within 20-25 seconds as just so more and more heads look skyward.
00:07:31
Speaker
Now Seth Alpha really, you only had the opportunity here. Do you follow Seth? Did Seth beckon to me to follow him? Yeah, Seth clearly said he was beckon. Yeah, okay. That's the only thing I wanted to say. And you're not shoulder to shoulder with any of your allies, really. You'd have to mind his effort to go somewhere else to go summon them. You've coined the way Alpha, he wouldn't be able to recognize if this is an imminent threat or not with whatever's going off. But one of his ah comrad
00:08:01
Speaker
He assumes needs him. He's beckoned. He would start walking, and then as Seth has picked up pace in the pursuit of Delmon Trace, Alpha-2 would slowly start to pick up the pace after Seth as well. what a it It doesn't see any threat, so he wouldn't acknowledge anybody else, or I'd say, we're going over here. Okay, thank you very much. So, a couple of things happen.
00:08:29
Speaker
Baal, you're beginning to notice the celebration around you is stopping. Your concern is up. However, but within a couple of seconds, you hear a couple of loud instructions emanate across the city, one in a very high pitched gnomish voice that says, return to your homes immediately. The next is a to is a command in Elvish. Do you speak it, Baal? Please indicate here who speaks Elvish.
00:08:57
Speaker
Uh, hands doesn't work on a podcast. Everyone. Well, I thought you obviously speaks it as an alpha speak. South speaks Elvis as well. Anyone else? Okay. You're hearing an elvish, a male voice. I don't think any one of you have heard them on trace speak. Correct me if I'm wrong. Seth, you wouldn't have been in any situation where you had been in direct contact with him. No, no, no.
00:09:26
Speaker
you heard this voice that say, all of chriscra to me protect the city in Elvish. I'm not entirely versed in Tolkien, so I couldn't tell you what that sounds like. whoa and So these instructions are blaring out and that that same repetition of return to your home return to your homes is just like a siren across the city. There begins to be chaos in the stadium as they all sort of flee for exits. This group of VIPs begins to dissipate and then You're seeing more shadows just sort of conjure and appear around you. And objects begin falling into the stadium, these stone and metallic objects. Seth, you have left the arena. Alpha, you have left the arena at this point. Inside the arena,
00:10:18
Speaker
met metallic these metallic four that that There are three different types of things you're perceiving. All different hues of silver. One is spherical, and they're small, like the size of a football. There are about four or five dozen of them just fall down like bulb a huge ball bearings into the arena. Then there are a four, five, six of these stone-like sculptures.
00:10:46
Speaker
And then there is this porcupine-shaped... rock, boulder, bigger than a boulder, this this sort of 40 foot diameter chunk of spiky stone just falls on top of those chimera corpses and sort of rolls into view and you watch as Prego heads towards that one and takes you with him, Baal. He's not letting you go particularly far and he just says to you now that the the the the cheer has replaced itself with screaming just says to you, I will protect you.
00:11:22
Speaker
But if I tell you to run, you run. Do you understand? Yes, what the fuck is going on? This foe... This foe is greater than any of you. Run when I tell you to run.
00:11:38
Speaker
Baal's going to nod, he's going to with one hand bring it up to this Phoenix class amulet that he's had on kind of his previous cape, obviously he's got the big red cape over it instead, and there is a pearl within it. He is just going to squeeze that, close his eyes, he's going to activate his pearl of power and get a third level spell slot back. Very good. Okay.
00:12:00
Speaker
so I'm considering Seth and Alpha have sort of made a bulk of action here. So, Nix, you're seeing this sort of chaotic scene just begin around you. and Everyone who's, you've been quite watchful at this point, and Stoic not necessarily committed to any course of action, as reigns have you.
00:12:19
Speaker
Various creatures, various objects, they're not creatures, they're not moving, but various metallic objects are just appearing or around you and you're seeing as orcs are swarming in to form a protective line, a kriscra are coming into the arena. Very quickly, Vosun has exited and there is no orange um armbands or any of them that sort of militia summoned.
00:12:43
Speaker
and the same for all of the stadium around you. There are these silver stone metal shapes.
00:12:56
Speaker
And then one by one, they begin to expand. And these smaller ones, these football-sized silver objects, two wings grow out of either side, two legs drop out of the bottom, and a spear just sort of unfolds into a hand. And then the spheres that it rolls in reveals a single eye as these sort of pixie-sized creatures almost begin to just fly and swarm around the stadium, killing stadium attendees at will these stone objects that are about human size split in two down the middle and reveal like two stone shields and this metallic mechanic creature inside and this huge porcupine esque
00:13:50
Speaker
40-foot diameter boulder just begins to reverberate around you. You watch as a criss-cross, a line very disciplined all around that stadium and try and just form lines and break through and protect innocent people. Brains, Emron and Nix, I'm coming straight to you. You see to one side of this, Prago protecting Baal.
00:14:13
Speaker
You see in the stands, innocents being attacked and the pakriska and really the helm of these sort of protective measures is Daymed and the Fizzlebang and a series of orcs and Delmon Trace with an incredibly long sword leading about four, five, six sort of elite pakriska agents as they're moving like one party's moving clockwise, one party moves anti-clockwise around this circular stadium.
00:14:43
Speaker
What do you do? What do you three choose to do? Where do you go? Obviously, you're aware of the fact that you do kind of need to see what's in Delmon Trace's pocket. Two of your friends have left. You can't see them anywhere. Baal is shattered, celebrated, protecting the thing he needs and cares about most in this world, being protected by a creature you do not know or trust. What do you three do?
00:15:11
Speaker
Everyone's going to turn towards Reigns and sort of shout. ah you Oh, you see Alpha nowhere. That's what I'm saying as well. He's going to shout over the cacophony of of noise. um He can't see Seth. He can't see Alpha. um He's going to turn to Reigns.
00:15:29
Speaker
Raines, get Nix, we need to get out of here because this is just going to fuck. And everyone will then start surging through what is happening towards where Baal is to try and get him away from Prago and to safety.
00:15:48
Speaker
Okay, so you're joining where Baal is. Raines, how do you respond? Your son is nowhere to be seen. Alpha, everyone with last Alpha, Reigns at that point will make his way over to Nix and go whatever you're feeling right now, it's gotta go on hold until we're safe. We gotta to get out of here.
00:16:09
Speaker
Right. ah it Everyone split up, Reigns. We go towards Baal or we go towards Alpha? Or do we split up?
00:16:24
Speaker
And you go towards Alpha and I'll go towards Baal. Shit! Reigns will go. Does Reigns have any... He's glancing around to to see if there's any suggestion of where Alpha went. You probably very carefully saw Alpha head straight for the exit. You probably didn't see Seth in that time. Right, Reigns during the short rest, because he can change his suit during the short rest, has changed his suit to Infiltrator, which gives him five more feet of movement. It also means that I can now as well cast Expedious Retreat on myself. And Reigns is going to do that, and he's going to say,
00:16:56
Speaker
Stay with Emron, stay with Bob, I'm going to find Alpha. And Reigns is going to cast Expedia's Retreat on himself, and he's going to take off in the direction of Alpha, ah now able to move at double, up up to 70 feet a turn. Okay, so just registered this. ah Alpha, Seth, and now Reigns took off in one direction, leaving Emron, Bob, and Nix behind. um Seth, what what you sort of see is a a temporary exit at the stadium, and you watch as um and alfred i'm going to include this because you're steps behind as you follow delmon trays out of the stadium in those moments you see the square in front of you awash with these same metallic stony creatures
00:17:43
Speaker
that are just attacking civilians, and you see that there are there are orcs and there are chriscro defending as best they can. You you see as Elmer Dre sort of takes it in that scene and immediately scans it and returns to the stadium but by a different door and then gets back up into those raised seats. it's Whether or not you yeah pursue him up to that raised part and go back into the stadium or whether you're're you're now out in the city itself. Is there anything you two would do except you're sort of looking in and you just feel this bump behind you as Alpha is there?
00:18:10
Speaker
i Sefu turns out Alpha, we need to get that list from him, from Delmon Trace. Follow me, and keep up if you can. And he's going to drop into Bladesong, but just the humming in the throat, which gives me 10 foot extra speed as he kind of chants a rhythm in his throat and his his pace starts to pick up as he not only and follows Delmon Trace, but he's going to try and gain ground on on him.
00:18:35
Speaker
And if at any point he's within range where it doesn't look like there are many people around before he gets up into the stands, I'm i'm looking to cast a spell, but he needs to be on the ground. So I'm thinking if we go...
00:18:51
Speaker
towards the stands and the minute there's less people. I don't mind if I get a couple of civvies in this, it's their fault for being here. But, fuck it, this is the chaos of Seth. and little damage Yeah, it is indeed. He's going to cast Earth Trammer directly in front of where Dumb On The Trace is. um I have a couple of first level spell slots left.
00:19:10
Speaker
ah Cause a tremor in the ground within range each creature other than you in that area So this is going to be at just ahead of down on trace. So not on us at the moment um Must make a deck saving throw on a failed save the creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning and is knocked prone the areas Luther earth or stone becomes difficult terrain and Oh, it's all it's also a stone coliseum, so you could do it as he's sort of ascending. Yeah. Well, I don't want the stairs, though. Think about spiral staircases. I said, if you've seen like um I need line of sight. OK, yeah, I'll do it. Yeah, and like plateaus a bit, but it's like like a sprint to ascend. Yeah, and we'll do it. We'll do it where he's got line of sight, where there's less people. It's up to you where that kind of happens, but it'll be before. Before he gets to where he wants to go, pretty much. and
00:19:58
Speaker
cast it hoping to get him down um to catch up with him basically.
Reinforcements and Battle Tactics
00:20:03
Speaker
Okay. So it's a deck save.
00:20:08
Speaker
22. That passes. Is it difficult terrain? It's still difficult terrain. So yeah, this because of the impact, all of these objects, these metallic stony objects coming out the sky is making, it already feels like this place is just like being and battered and and and shaken. So your spell sort of goes undetected almost like it's part of that, that, that, that foraw. And um
00:20:40
Speaker
razors you exit you sort of just get into sight of alpha and then these off again before you can even catch up so you could just continue on this like can mouse into like sprint to try and catch up with him and eventually you three find yourselves seven eight nine stories up in the stadium bleachers themselves
00:20:58
Speaker
hundreds of feet away from your path, the rest of your friends who are in the center of that stadium, um somewhat just sort of fending off. Now, at this point, what's really appropriate to do is to ask you what you're going to roll 20. Oh, oh, shit. I love it. I love it when he says that with that smile, that sly smile. My thinking is, Danny, not to necessarily I'm not intending on hurting him, intending on deceiving him, going up and helping him up and again be dropdown dropping the paper um for Alpha with the perfect memory to pick up, read the names, and then... Yeah, that's the... Well, that's my... Just in case you're thinking it it was an aggressive action, it would seem to slow them down to so that I could go and be like, oh, I'm here to help you, and then actually pickpocket the cunt. Okay.
00:21:53
Speaker
So, as it's a party split, we're going to deal with the company who are going to be involved in the furor happening at the base in the centre where the awards, where everyone was being celebrated, where ah the majority of these things have landed, including this colossal rock, porcupine-esque rock.
00:22:13
Speaker
What happens is a series of things. You watch as, as you will navigate to Roll20, you'll just sort of see that the core enemies that are there, that there are about 40, 30 or 40 just spectators that are there are are also amongst this. So we're going to consider this entire environment difficult to reign. As you're either stepping over corpses, you're rubbing shoulders, you're trying to squeeze between people and there'll be a CRISCR agents around, there'll be orcs around. So everything is is just tight in here.
00:22:41
Speaker
What you're faced with is a series of these, what you're seeing are like purple beholder tokens. then They're not beholders, but they're those floating eye football sized creatures that I explained. And then you're seeing these um these stony shielded, twin shielded um golems as well that are about the same size as a human, and then you're seeing this colossal porcupine rock object. What's really interesting is that Emron are not here, but Reigns are seeing the same creatures where you are.
00:23:30
Speaker
The metalwork, the fusion, the bodies, the sort of family of forgering, forgering, forgery, smithy, craftsmanship. I want to use that word. Really resembles how you approached making alpha.
00:23:51
Speaker
Ah, feck. Damn it. They've come from a copyright infringement. Hmm. So.
00:24:00
Speaker
With the exception of the giant porcupine-esque beast. I need you all to roll initiative. When I say all, I need Nyx, I need Emron, I need Baal, I need Prago. I'm gonna roll Prago to roll initiative. I need Alpha. No, I don't. I need Callum. I need you to roll initiative and add three. And Mark, I need you to roll initiative and add three. To whatever you roll. So do you not need anything for Rains at this minute? No, you're you're not here.
00:24:30
Speaker
but It'll become clear in a moment what's going on. Okay.
00:24:44
Speaker
Thank you very much. So any one roll of 25.
00:24:50
Speaker
before he goes top of the round. Uh, in a row of 20. Thank you very much. Mark's character. What did you roll? Alpha 22. Okay. So, uh, Callum's character is before Mark's character. Um, and we're 15. Yeah. Balgo 19.
00:25:12
Speaker
Um, I know exactly 15. Okay. And Nick's cried out a nine.
00:25:20
Speaker
Pathetic nine. I don't know the idea of Nick trying to kill everything. OK, I love with pure. So. In this moment, then you watch as. And really, this is just for Bal and one of Nick's benefit, because you're the closest to it, as all of these people have dispersed, and this is becoming a really chaotic scene, and there is very little space to move here. You watch as Prego.
00:25:49
Speaker
Agitated draws this sword out of the sheath. The first time you've seen this blade that has a skull at the hilt. And as he draws it, I need you all to make wisdom saving throws as you all are just temporarily, incredibly frightened. It's just whether or not you can overcome that fear. Just... Baal and Roninix.
00:26:15
Speaker
Okay. Baal, what did you draw? 16. Everyone wanted to draw. Sixteen. Next, what did you draw? I want a fucking eight. But I don't want to be scared. So I'm going to use ties of chaos.
00:26:34
Speaker
Fuck that shit. When I feel the fear, because I'm so lost in this kind of ah depression, but trying to shake it off as a new feeling starts to creep in, I know that it's not my own. ah So, yeah, the Tides of Chaos will stir within. I hate to just be the will in this moment, but Tides of Chaos gives you advantage, not re-roll.
00:26:57
Speaker
o Burn!
00:27:03
Speaker
ah So you can roll with advantage. So I can roll again. That's already rolled, hasn't it? Yeah, yeah, it's already rolled. Cool, that was a natty one. So I'm a scared as shit. Well, I don't know, it's eight. Okay. Bow, Emron, and Nyx, you're all frightened. Shit. As this blade is produced, you are feared. Emron, you feel...
00:27:32
Speaker
and Lido's resolve rise in you and then even seconds is dissipated and you feel nothing but peril and you just want to find safety instantly. While you're frightened, you have to take the dash action on your turn and you have to move away from prego by the safest route available to you. Okay?
00:27:56
Speaker
Okay, so as Prego draws that blade, he just sees, and there are about 40 people, 40 pedestrians, NPCs, non-conbathens.
00:28:08
Speaker
in that arena floor that the moment this blade is pulled, anyone who was um had a strong enough to resolve to to meet these creatures, they also feel the same level of fear as you watch as there is just this bombardment of people who rush out, who are all going to move slightly ahead of you. So I need everyone on the shop floor, which is Baal, Emron and Nyx. I need you to make dexterity saving throws as you're being buffeted by all of these people who are just sprinting in directions to get away from Prago's blade.
00:28:38
Speaker
Um, okay. So, Bao, what'd you get? Uh, 20 non-natural. Thank you. Emron. 15. Thank you. Nix. 13.
00:28:52
Speaker
It's going to be a long night, guys. Nix is staying three points of bludgeoning damage as you just catch a couple of elbows and shoulders of people who just rush in into you, uh, trying to flee the scene. And then you watch as Balon and you are close enough to hear this. And it's infernal, Bal, do you speak infernal? I think I do. Yes, I do. You watch as this this light that Prager has been balancing for a little while in his hand that more that Seth really saw but hasn't really stopped being conjured. He just whispers in infernal, I follow instruction.
00:29:28
Speaker
I summon from home a creature of yours brother aid me all in infernal and you watch as this small black portal esque morass just begins to spread in a
00:29:51
Speaker
in a very slow fashion, about 10 feet to the south of you, on the floor. And then Prego, just with his hilt, with his blade drawn, points it at this bolded porcupine and says, when you dance with the majestic Prego, you dance with death. I welcome you, and you watch as he just attempts to strike this boulder with the tip of a rapier.
00:30:26
Speaker
And as you make contact as he makes contact with the stone itself, it sort of cracks in about seven places, and that that crack ripples around this boulder. And then Prego takes a step back, looks at you in the eye, and that's his turn. Callum. From the stands, leaping into view,
00:30:54
Speaker
to the north side of this porcupine creature, right behind one of the floating eyeballs. Is Beauregard the bolt blue hill? It is your turn. Is there anything you'd like to do? as As what? As Beauregard? No, as Santa Claus. Yes, as Beauregard the bolt blue hill. um Ah, Christ, I don't know. You caught me massively off guard with that. Ah, Jesus. um
00:31:26
Speaker
I'm going to, and i'm what I'm going to do, I'm going to rage straight away as a bonus action and I'm going to blister and I'm running. And much like we have done previously, I'm putting myself in the middle between this colossal stone creature um and obviously the Baal, Emron and Nyx. And as I just kind of get a run pass. I'm going to kind of try and duck under the creature, knee slide past it and just do an attempt attack with the scimitar just to slide. and Okay.
00:32:07
Speaker
do
00:32:12
Speaker
That's a 24 to hit. ah Remind me what you're hitting, sorry. I'm going for the big stony type creature that seems to be the most prominent threat. and That'll hit. Go ahead. Go ahead and roll some damage.
00:32:31
Speaker
i remember hey So points of slashing damage. And eight points of radiant damage. Okay.
00:32:45
Speaker
So you sort of slash at some of that exposed breakage in the rock. It just looks like a big rock, but Prago seems to have just caused a crack. And as you slash towards that crack, the radiant almost repairs the stonework. Shit.
00:33:04
Speaker
But as it takes on that damage, it begins to split in more places. And you watch as this creature just takes form. And what was just this big spiky boulder actually becomes about six or seven different parts. And this creature towers bigger than the stadium itself. As Prego just announces this titanium golem.
00:33:33
Speaker
Run.
00:33:37
Speaker
as this huge, bulky mass of metal. With this, there's like, if anyone's familiar with the Alien series or Predator series, if anyone's familiar with that like headpiece that Predator wears, imagine that adorning the very top of this big, weighty metal giant that bolts.
00:34:02
Speaker
Anything else you want to do with your return, Beauregard?
00:34:05
Speaker
As this, this thing that was just like a 40 foot diameter rock has now grown into a 80 foot diameter rock. Yeah. I'm going to turn around all of them and say, Ron, that's two ball M-ron nicks. And I'm just going to, there's nothing else I'm going to do kind of ah mechanically. So thematically, I'm just going to kind of hold up a scimitar and I'm always kind of bracing for an attack to kind of come from this creature that's grown doubled in size.
00:34:37
Speaker
Okay. Anything else? No. Then in which case next our initiative order is Mark. Mark jumping in to the stadium at the southern end is our gnome friend, Sayanga. Oh shit. Yeah, it is. What would you like to do? as You've seen all this unfold.
00:35:06
Speaker
looks like death's back on the menu, boys. And he is going to quickly look around. He said that to himself more than anyone else. um And he's going the south, did you say? So yeah, gotcha if you look at the map, you've just your um character's appeared. He's going to take the Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Just forgotten everything about this character. Got it. Okay. Um, he's going to fuck. Okay. Um, he's going to take the disengage, uh, bonus action as part of the, um, rogue feature, cunning action. Yes. Disengage.
00:35:47
Speaker
And then he is going to sprint through and past everyone pretty much until he can get nearby to where to where the big barbarian, broody blue boy is, and kind of stand back to back, so wherever he's going to skid on the sand, so his back is to his mate's back, dagger in each hand with the hook end of each facing outwards, and he's going to be looking for the next nearest thing he can strike out. The thing directly in front of him moves that purpley Purple. One of the floating football size mechanical eyes. He's not going to go back to back, he's going to run up and as he sees this thing, he's going to come down and just dagger on the top of it to knock it out and then kind of end that tone back to back with the...
00:36:40
Speaker
the guy there. So I'm gonna make an attack. Alright, cool. I've got everything loaded up. Alright, so this is the attack. It is shit, it is 12 to hit. Hits. Okay, okay, okay, okay. He's gonna take eight points of piercing damage and I don't within five feet, nothing was in five feet of him. Yes, it was just the eight points of and then returns back to back with um but regard You stab this creature straight in the eye and as your blade hits contact you pull it out again and it just splits in half and shatters on the floor in front of you and you do a sort of flourish. Stand at the back and you're defending your ally. Anything else?
00:37:23
Speaker
ah but Thank you very much. ah You need to take an action to dash but you're still Copis Mendes. What would you like to do? Yeah, that's fine. And the last thing Prager said was run, yeah? Yep. Yep. There are exits to the north and there are exits to the south. Okay. um Whichever one is closest to the north to the northern point of this map. And I consider... When I have to dash away from Prager by the safest route, when it's away, does that mean... Because I'm currently to his west.
00:37:59
Speaker
side So do I, will I still be able to run to the north? Will, will I have to run? You'll you'll invoke opportunity text. But what I mean is that because the fear is to get away from the object of the fear. yeah prego is You have to dash away from prego. Yeah. But that in, I might be wrong, but that in my mind implies that I've got to run not to the exit because that's kind of past. As long as you're going away from it, it doesn't, it doesn't matter. You have to end your turn further away from them when you started.
00:38:27
Speaker
okay so yeah yeah so it's not like literally in a straight line it's correct because you said safest route didn't you yeah yeah no question for danny the spell also says drops whatever you're holding that's what the spell says okay cool the condition is not okay Well, thank fuck for that. Fuck you very much, Will. just one ah sorry just because obviously the no no acknowledge is what does the yeah I know that would have been fucking devastating. ah Cool. Yeah. In which case I've got to use the action to to dash through.
00:38:58
Speaker
um Bar, like I said before, he's got his Wildfire
Climactic Showdown and Strategic Retreat
00:39:02
Speaker
Spirits still with him. So as he is sprinting, if he gets closer to um one of these creatures, he'll use his Wildfire Spirits, his bonus action, to um basically do that fiery teleportation um to get him and the egg ah through and past if he can. um If he can find a safe route to the northernmost exit then. Meanwhile obviously also kind of shouting over his shoulder to Nyx and Emron. He doesn't know who the other guys are, he doesn't give a shit about them, sorry. ah He'll just say, get out now, run! ah Charging towards that exit there. So you'll definitely evoke one opportunity attack if you don't kill one of them with the hit. So go ahead and roll the... It needs to make a deck save. Can do that.
00:39:55
Speaker
17. Yeah, that passes. It takes no damage. Okay. um So, but I teleport out of its reach. Oh, you're teleporting? Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, as it's kind of going into attack, the Wild Fast Spirit it will come down and engulf me and the egg and teleport us 15 feet closer towards the door alongside the 60 foot of movement. Okay. So, you that's enough to take you out of the stadium and you are sort of in that um square now where you can see Orcs and the Prisca fighting shoulder to shoulder against more of these objects. Some are trying to direct people to safety, some are just in in full full sort combative state. But you you are out of initiative, you are out of the arena. Thank you very much. It is the creatures turn now. They are all also subject to
00:40:50
Speaker
the Prega the Majestics drawer of his blade, and you watch as all of these creatures just part away, except for the colossal porcupine stone creature that is just squaring up. But all of these creatures will move away. Nyx, you are going to get a chance to an opportunity to attack against one of them if you so wish.
00:41:14
Speaker
Damn fucking right I do. Go for it. It's one of the floating eyes just is right on your back as you are preparing for combat and then... That's a 24. That hits. Go ahead roll damage.
00:41:31
Speaker
my little moon dagger three points of piercing damage but you know lit up yeah look good enough to kill it as this i killed it yeah leaves your i leave your range you're just able to stab it in a instinctive fury and you just get it in the eye again it just splits in two and just falls to ash on the floor daggers for the win.
00:41:55
Speaker
thank you very much the one creature that doesn't but in fair but one is going to leave prego's fruit and it's going to suffer an opportunity attack from prego and i' not gonna tell you how many dice pre you guy has to row im tell you the minimum would still kill it so The creature that was engaged in prego, one of the floating, um, football sized, uh, metallic object, uh, creatures is instantly killed from a flurry of this blade. Hmm. Sanga and Beauregard, I need you to make strength saving goes strength saving f throws. As you see prego, just use this sword, but it makes this ripple that shakes the earth around you.
00:42:36
Speaker
A sine guard got 19. You stay on your feet. I want that fucking sword. 26. You stay on your feet. You just watch as it almost like you're caught in a wave and as the riptide's pulling out, sometimes you, you know, you you you pull in, you, you stagger if that current is too strong, but though the tide, sorry, is too strong, but but it isn't in this instance.
00:43:01
Speaker
And then the creature that's facing Prego is just going to continue to crack in 17 or 18 different places and just take its full form.
00:43:14
Speaker
And it is going to with its two colossal fists, just smack down against Prego.
00:43:25
Speaker
Kill him. him.
00:43:54
Speaker
at the back of you, uses you almost to just prop himself back up. I'm scared of him. How does that work? like Raises his blade once again. Looks a bit put out by it. But he's worried and he is concerned.
00:44:11
Speaker
Emron, you have to dash. I've got to run away from prego. So I've got to go south. Any direction you want, you just have to be further away than when you started. So I can go past him. Yes.
00:44:24
Speaker
ah Okay, the fun. I'm gonna cash Sanctuary on myself. Excellent. As a bonus action. Yep. Take me with you. I'll take it as an action to pick up Nyx. It will be an action to to yes do that. I've got to spend the action to dash, don't I? You do. So I will dash past Prego. Nothing personal. And then I dash out.
00:44:54
Speaker
And I'm out 25 feet plus another, you know, 35 to go. And the same as Baal, you sort of run into the back of Baal and you're seeing this scene in front of you. You are out of an initiative. you are One of the footballs would get to attack me. Oh, that's true. um But I'm under sanctuary, so it's got to make a wisdom saving throw. Thank you.
00:45:17
Speaker
11. That fails, so it loses. It either does something else or it loses the action. Reaction. It will lose the reaction, I suppose, unless you can tell me what the other thing is. No, what it is. And I failed to say the creature must use a new target or lose the attack or spell. it's It's a reaction, so you can't necessarily do anything. Thank you very much. Which brings us to Nyx. Nyx, you've just seen Baal and Emron hightail it. You have to dash as an action.
00:45:42
Speaker
yeah yeah yep yep Yeah, those two are a lot stronger than Nick's, so if they're going, Nick's is going. um yeah I'm not through with you yet, as as Nick's turns and both magically and also his own goddamn fear now mixed in with this is getting the fuck out of Dodge. He's got 60 feet of of movement, so he will head in the same direction as Baal and Emron. Yeah, and and
00:46:13
Speaker
helpfully, the one creature that could use an opportunity to attack on you can't because it just used it on everyone unknowingly. ah so Our three primary characters have exited the scene. I'm going to conclude that combat there. We will not know what happens necessarily to Beauregard or Saingar at this point. Probably. And as we but but but but bu zoom out of that stage and zoom into the bands about 200 feet away from the party who were just fighting in the the stadium itself, we find ourselves
00:46:49
Speaker
Reigns, Alpha and Seth running chasing after Delmont Trace who is moving anti-clockwise through that stadium. You see it to the south of you, Dame Edna Fizzlebang single-handedly with walls of fire just fighting back in ah in a clockwise fashion as you sort of veer off. You are 15 feet away from Delmont Trace who is leading It's a group of a chris cred that don't just have the purple cloaks but have the purple cloaks with this other symbol upon them Seth instinctively you would know this as a ah select group known as a chris crime who are the sort of creme de la creme the most elite within the order
00:47:38
Speaker
as he is working to save. So on Roll20, I just did Kriskra, Delmon Trace, your characters, and the foes. More of those football-sized creatures with wings and those sort of two-sided stone golems. But amongst all that are ah the crowd. So again, everything is difficult terrain here as you're just put pushing by it.
00:48:04
Speaker
I just couldn't be asked to put like thousands of thousands of tokens on this map. you So they are working initiative. You are entering a combat combative, combative environment. So I'm going to get everyone to roll initiative, but can I also ask
00:48:26
Speaker
Good. Pooh Bear, U-roll initiative with plus four. So D20 plus four. Ian, U-roll initiative at advantage plus two.
00:48:43
Speaker
Will U-roll initiative please plus two? Okay. Anybody roll above 25?
00:48:56
Speaker
Uh, one second. Sorry, I was off. Uh, no, no. A number of 20. Yep. Yes. I said I've got 19. Above 20, is it? Oh, I've got 22. So big. Ian's character. Ian's character not muted. 22. Uh, okay. I'm going to have to do that because I don't want to spoil. Um, thank you.
00:49:25
Speaker
and Anyone above 15, so Seth is a 19? Yes. 18 for Will's character. 18 for Alpha as well. Alpha will be first. Because in the 2024 rules of D and&D, it's the DM's decision as to who goes higher and injured, unless they are. Unless the players... If the players decide first, if it's monsters and players, then it's... The DM decides players and players. then like The players get to choose who goes first.
00:49:54
Speaker
I mean, obviously, Mark. You know that. Come on. say It's so obvious. You just have to read the material out for now such a long time, Mark. Come on. I mean, by the time that this is is out for my four months. I was assuming that the Will was playing an enemy of Alphas. That's why I assumed it would be Danny making the decision. So suck it, Mr. Krabs. Nice.
00:50:17
Speaker
Who's Mr. Krabs out of us? You've got Krabs. Reigns, what did you run? I run a five. OK, shit. You're right. It's a big old turd. OK. So here's what happens. Seth, followed by Alpha, followed by Reigns, in that order, you just emerge on that stand, that section of the stadium, and you see that line of a pecisca being led by Delmont Trace.
00:50:48
Speaker
There are half a dozen of those stone golems, a few less of those flying creatures, but that they are in the air. The other side, however, reigns. You're seeing one of your new friends.
00:51:04
Speaker
a gnome that holds a sword with a particular strength that seems impossible of that creature. Someone we know quite well as listeners, as Drago. So, Ian, straight into the fray, you appear behind this group that are attacking the Ibquiskra. What would you like to do?
00:51:26
Speaker
Have I short rested from previous battles? to No. i'm Okay, cool. So I'm tapped from what went before. So Drago is going to straight up just rage straight off the bat and will run in, sword out, headlong into battle and attack the first enemy that he sees indiscriminately with rage. Go ahead and roll to hit.
00:51:56
Speaker
Fuck yeah, my favorite part until I fuck it up. How's an 11? Miss. And then undeterred, he's going to use the momentum of the miss to do a 360, carry the the strength forward and hit for a second time for a much better 26. That hits. As he deals 15 points of slashing damage on his bitch ass. Thank you very much.
00:52:27
Speaker
Anything else you'd like to do with your turn? Yes, I just want to survey the scene. Which one am I facing looking at Roll20? Have I attacked the one next to me? Yeah, the one you're adjacent to.
00:52:39
Speaker
Okay, and in front of me, there's however many more, there's the guards. And then you're seeing that line of of Chryscra and Delmon Trace just behind it. And then you're seeing two people plus Rains.
00:52:53
Speaker
your you You're familiar with all three of Rains, Alpha and Seth, but Rains you recently met. Uh, and the chrisca that I'm seeing because my tricky history with them, are they friend or foe? Do I know them as friends from my time in Jallak, uh, in Jallak? Sorry for the history lesson. I just need to, I need to iron that one out. Your MO.
00:53:24
Speaker
is to make sure Raine's Alpha and Seth are safe. that's all you That's all you are driven by. The rest is you to decide. Be on your guard with everyone here, including the Abriska. He shouts out. Thank you very much. Next, leaping into view. Side by side, shoulder to shoulder, Drago's best friend, Castan Finbin fell home. Oh, for fuck's sake!
00:53:53
Speaker
Cast Antony in Valhorn. What would you like to do? Cast and jump us in. Just like old times, buddy old pal. Fuck. And I am going to see the shit storm that is kicking off. I am going to cast Bless at third level. And ah Seth, Alpha, Reigns, and Drago and Castan are blessed. Thank you, Lynn. You fucking imagined.
00:54:22
Speaker
As he casts Bless, I'm also going to use um my Battle Magic thing, and I get to ah make a weapon attack as a bonus action. because That's a thing, apparently. And I'm going to attack the little cheeky, two-shielded thing next to me with my sword that's still on fire. Go for it.
00:54:45
Speaker
Ha! I ain't rolling shit. That's another 91, baby. You are shit at rolling, just in general, will I? Roll a 220 for me. Okay. Sorry, Drago, but it's still in the back, mate. Don't hear me, don't hear me. Danny. Yes. It's a 17. Does he have to roll a natural one? He doesn't have to. Can he not roll a natural one? He doesn't have to roll a natural one. Do you want to re-roll it? Yeah. Re-roll it. Thanks, babe. Also, haven't you got your bless?
00:55:18
Speaker
Do you not It's in the new rules as well. yeah in the new That's a 27 to hit. So you line up this swipe with your sword and you don't like your approach and the very last second you just hit correct yourself and hit it where the sun don't shine. That hits. Okay.
00:55:47
Speaker
Uh, it will take 11 points of piercing damage and five points of flaming damage. 11 and five. Thank you so, so much. So.
00:56:01
Speaker
Simple maths. That's a 16. Thank you. Um, as you make contact, you watch as the flame doesn't really do anything. The heat doesn't seem to do anything to the stone and the metal that you just made contact with. You're fairly sure with your perception.
00:56:18
Speaker
nothing happened with that part of your, your stroke. Okay. Thank you very much, Seth. You were in a, you were in a typical pincer maneuver. You studied many of these. you've You've been in, you've been in battles that this formation has occurred. What do you do? Excellent. He's going to get right stuck in helping the battle light by walking directly up behind, um, uh,
00:56:45
Speaker
the man they're looking for, um, uh, I cast on it. Finbin fell on the third of my head behind Delwin trace. You can call over to me anytime, baby. You only, you only created the character mark. backing cle one but I didn't. Um, some planted. Um, the, the first thing he's going to do is he's going to look at all these guys, look at this combat and think, fuck yeah. And he's going to reach into the pocket of diamond trace and pull out the, um,
00:57:10
Speaker
the list, or try and pull out the list. Okay. I need you to make two checks. I need you to make an investigation check to try and- Can use my blast with these. Yes, you fucking can. Followed by a sleight of hand check for the pickpocket attempt. Come on, brother. So, first things first, I've got shit 27 for the- was it perception? Investigation. Yeah, 27 for investigation. I'm the new person of D and&D. This is an action. Yeah, no. You locate exactly where the- a list of 12 names that is protected would be and it's inside the breast pocket. Okay. Now make a slight hand to attempt it. Uh, with bless, uh, 15. Yeah. Come on. He might be distracted by, you know, he is pending doom and death. You scoop it out and there is no reaction from him.
00:58:03
Speaker
There is just one swish ah appears in he wrote a natural ones ah on of his and you're just able to very deftly dart in. You see this binder.
00:58:16
Speaker
He's in your hand. Okay. Okay. Okay. And he's just going to, with any kind of remaining movement, I got movement. I'm going to turn and run back and push it into Alpha's chest or into his hand. We're going to put it in his hand. I'm going to hold the fuck. I'm going to hold it up in front of his goddamn face. So as I'm walking towards him, I'm holding this up and reading it. Um, I have 10, 15, 20. It's difficult terrain. Everything. That's all I've got, that's all I've got, yeah, yeah, yeah. And push through, show that, remember. And then we're just gonna hold it up until Alpha gives him the nod. That's all I'm gonna do.
00:59:00
Speaker
Would you believe it's Alpha to next in the initiative? So Alpha, do you want to take the use and object item to to read the info? You fucking read. I'm going to read some shit here. okay Your eyes your light up. You're pen ready. print a Take a screenshot. you know You know you're looking for a list of 13 names. that That is the thing you're searching for and you flick through. There's only about seven or eight pages on this. You find a single list.
00:59:30
Speaker
It reads as follows. Astrid Stormwarden.
00:59:38
Speaker
I'm never going to repeat this again, so your perfect memory is critical here. Oh, it's only we were recording this. Thorne Blackwood.
00:59:57
Speaker
He's being really generous giving you time. Really good um gladiator name that, wouldn't it? Form! Malaki, the temporal enforcer. Malaki. Aveline, Raider of the Fates.
01:00:22
Speaker
Hyrule Thunderscale.
01:00:28
Speaker
Cogsley, the knowledgeable.
01:00:35
Speaker
Fezrin, Blackheart. Del Montrese. Ericas, the lunatic. Get the fuck out of here. Edna Fizzlebang, the fourth. Get out of here.
01:01:00
Speaker
all gal so
01:01:07
Speaker
And the last name on the list, Grand Chronomancer Johann Veritas.
01:01:18
Speaker
And in these six seconds, that is thrust upon your face. You've used the action to to digest that. Is there anything else you'd like to do on your turn?
01:01:31
Speaker
yeah There is a strike through on one name, Eric Castellunatic. Yeah, that'd be right. That'd be right. Kill that bastard back in episode seven and we're fucking dead. This is actually dumb on Trace's birthday party list.
01:01:49
Speaker
i And you're not invited. Because you're dead. I know some of those names. Alpha. Yeah, we all do.
01:02:00
Speaker
I've used my action to read the generally nothing else I can kind of do prep wise. So yeah, I'll just leave it as that. What's interesting, Alfred, is at the end of your turn, an owl appears upon your shoulder. A very familiar looking owl. A familiar? As O'Gell steps into view.
01:02:28
Speaker
in the northeast side, at the highest point of this arena. Old girl who's been spectating this this competition for a few episodes now, you're there, you're in the stands, your one-time friends are um nearby.
01:02:41
Speaker
But what would you like to do, as Ahut is just floating around off above Mrun, above Alpha? So, um just before kind of sending Ahut that way, he'll have ah probably hoisted up his robes to reveal his nulltoes, where Ahut is actually hiding underneath his robe, literally between his legs. And he'll say, oh, there's an awful lot of A-listers here today, boy.
01:03:06
Speaker
And he's going to reach down and go, better clear, you got it. And cast as a bonus action. ah Dragon's Breath acid, acid, acid on a hoot third level. And ah then he is going to obviously send it, like you said, over towards um where Alpha is yeah ready for on its turn to just belch on whatever it can in front of him.
01:03:34
Speaker
Any baddies that it can and then he is going to turn to one of the nearby Baddies the whatever's closest to him and just go you got a great brain in there boy and he'll just use a choice of either a floating sort of football MP pixie like creature or the the two-sided stone golem I'm gonna go, well, but I think he would probably guess that the pixie would would make sense. So he's gonna go for the golem as he asks that question. You got a brain in there, boy? And I needed to make an intelligence saving throw. That fails. If it can take psychic damage, ah it would take nine points of psychic damage as he casts mind sliver. I it i need a poo bear.
01:04:29
Speaker
Hello. Uh, intelligence three. Intelligence three taking psychic damage. Can it still range to psychic damage? Does your spell limit the, it's all on you, Baal. Does your spell say, I will, sorry. Does your spell say creature of X intelligence don't, I don't mean to damage. No, it just says it makes a mistake. Normally it'll say in the spell or in the, it's not in his immunity. So it's just double check. So, from the top, sorry, that, oh girl, what am I, damage? It's nine points of psychic damage, um, and if it's still alive, it it needs to subtract a default from its next saving throw. Perfecto. Yes, it is still alive. Cool. Thank you. Sorry. Intelligence-based stuff is worth asking. Thank you. Anything else for your turn? And yeah, Baal's gonna, ah sorry, not Baal, Gel is going to kind of back himself up a little bit, again, hoist his little robes up and back himself up into a position where he isn't perhaps as surrounded, just kind of ready there, orb in one hand, looking over to Ahut, who on its turn immediately after will just vomit acid onto as many nearby Nazis as it can. Ahut will go straight after you. I won't get you to roll. So Ahut's 10.
01:05:44
Speaker
is a dexterity saving throw from anything that it can hit in a 15-foot cone. Including or excluding the abcrisco? He wouldn't want to hit the abcrisco. Okay. um So if possible, if well how many it can get, obviously not odd or trying to avoid those, um that that would be the intention. Yeah. Okay. So he could get three three of the stone golems and two of the flying metallic eyes. Perfect. if If you're happy to make deck saves for it, a 16 is a pass. And I'll just roll the acid damage. yeah They all fail. Cool. 13 points of acid on anything in front of the hoot. You watch as the acid boils those metallic eyes ah to ah to a sort of molten
01:06:41
Speaker
mess ah but the stone the stone golems remain stood upright but the acid is sort of penetrating some of their metallic properties. It's like two huge wedges of stone within a a metal core. Anything else on your turn? ah no A hoot's got a 60 foot fly speed so on a kind of a fly by Vom I'd have a hoot come back to Old Gell and kind of perch onto the top of his turban.
01:07:08
Speaker
Perfect. It is Deepakrishka's turn. Delmon Trace is going to just make a perception check to see if he perceives anything untoward amongst his body and again doesn't succeed. Deepakrishka's line is going to push forward and they're all going to make attacks at the relevant golems that they can hit.
01:07:26
Speaker
And you watch as four of the one, two, three, four, five, six of a CRISPR line are able to make contact with there. They're all shielded and flailed as they're just swinging their flails to hit at these stone creatures. Four of them make contact and are able to put some dents into those southernmost stone creatures.
01:07:51
Speaker
uh, we need to do this maths. Thank you myself. Um, we are back around to the monster's turn. So in that, that Southern brawl between four of the stone creatures and the Chris square, we're just going to do that off camera. You're not going to know what's happened, but they're just exchanging blows, but I need, um, Drago, I need you to tell me if 17 hits you. Nope.
01:08:21
Speaker
Cool. Castan. Four hit you. No. Oh, Gale. Nineteen hit you. Oh, shitties. Oh, I've got a spell for this. have I've got a spell for this. No, I've not got it prepared. Yes. Okay. Two of us are mighty. Wait, hold on.
01:08:51
Speaker
Yep, he's going to just quickly, ah his eyes are going to flash to the orb for just a second and then he's going to duck. Can I turn its original attack into A6? So whatever its modifier is.
01:09:07
Speaker
If it's added onto to a six, I need to still need to know if that, what the overall is, because the girl's not got a big AC. It will be a 10. That's fine. Yeah, it'll miss then. Okay. you're getting importance Hit from the floating eye creature just lobs a javelin. Well, holds a javelin, just pokes it in your direction. For 19 to hit. Yeah, that will. I can't do anything about that now.
01:09:33
Speaker
Two, points of piercing damage. Thank you very much. I'll make a calm save on the, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll do that and I'll let you know um when I work out if I've got any features that can help with it.
01:09:47
Speaker
and No, I don't, turns out I don't. It's although I've got a natural one so I can reroll that baby. Yeah, I maintain concentration. Okay. The acid breath. other than the two that are engaged with you all girl, the one on new custom, the one on new drago, the other five are right up into that at Chris Crow line. Um, so reigns, finally you have a turn after very patiently waiting for good part of 40 minutes. Um, reigns will glance around. He's obviously seen alpha do what he needs to do. And he's going to say,
01:10:27
Speaker
that normal over there. It's Drago, I believe he's telling us to get stepping by his presence here. And what range is going to do is he's going to just try and help Drago if Drago helped him. And he's just going to shoot the lightning launcher into the one that's near Drago for a cure.
01:10:54
Speaker
I'm not. Yeah. Well, Reigns doesn't know it's going to cure it, does he? He's shooting the enemy that I'm hitting. Oh, sorry. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. did Yeah. Not with a cure wound. I'm out of spell slots anyway. I can't do that.
01:11:17
Speaker
Go ahead and roll. That's a 23 to hit. That hits.
01:11:26
Speaker
It will take... Apologies, my D&D is being really slow. It will take nine points. that I'm going to add the D6 to it. It will take nine points. It will take points of lightning damage.
01:11:52
Speaker
Thank you. Lightning. Great. Perfect. Anything else on your turn? I can shoot it again. Okay.
01:12:08
Speaker
mean Only if you want to. He's actually making it better. We don't realise it. Well, yeah, Reigns doesn't... work Exactly will. Reigns is not aware of this. Carson as he perceives the shit out of it. At 13 to hit. That misses. Okay, that's me done. Sweet. We turned the round, Drago.
01:12:28
Speaker
I'm not gonna slice and dice, but first off, uh, did that lightning look like it was hurt? Yeah. Oh, nice. With a nod of thanks in your direction there, uh, Reigns, Drago will spin. As he spins this time, he's going to also step into frenzy.
01:12:46
Speaker
ah which will give him a third attack on his next turn in the future. For now, it's still the two with Dengon's deception flashing mightily above him for a 18 to hit. Hits, more damage.
01:13:02
Speaker
That is 14 points of slashing damage. That one that you've been screwing up with that Rains has just got the assist on is destroyed as you cleave through and just split this metal core in half. Damn, fucking right.
01:13:21
Speaker
He's going to take that momentum, sidestep around Karsten, like he has done many times, these guys working in tandem. And um as he moves, it's almost almost like a dance. It's between two characters that know each other, have battled each other so well. So as Karsten would reach out with his spell, Drago would go underneath him in his rock gnome form and slice in the one five foot of spin, slice down into the the legs of the next one for a fucking um me david do aa crit
01:13:53
Speaker
ah ah to know why that is twenty four castampated draggo's bombmitji power And it's an 18, make a fucking con saving and throw, 15, and it's KO, bitch! So his dengue of deception is glowing white hot again from a spin, and the feeling and soul of his father, and all those memories embolden him, and the sword just starts to take on the life of his owners, as if the memories of his father was emboldened him, as if the very hands of his father was on the blade with Drago's pushing that blade further into the core of the being.
01:14:30
Speaker
What did he roll on the con save? Thirteen. HE FUCKIN' GETS YEETED OUTTA HERE. HE IS DEAD. As this the moment your blade meets contact, that metal core just melts. It's just two rocks that fall on the floor. ah That just just never happened. It happened once in season one and it got nerfed because of he did it against um the demon. Anyway, right. um So after that, he's going to take one final step forwards and go against, but not go against, but he's going to hold his blade ready
01:15:07
Speaker
for the one next to Old Gal, again, the metal robot creature. It's worth saying that Castan and Drago have no idea who this old guy is that's just like... Oh, I was about to say... Oh, okay. You have no idea this guy is, he's helping out. Okay. Castan, straight up. Okay. Castan, having seen Drago, you know, get his little Woody on and chop down the... I just picked you up during my move.
01:15:36
Speaker
there you are ah howdy hody howdy ah ah drug a car like ha add it again old buddy old pal and um i will then sidle along and be like hello old time ah And Karsten, having seen his fire damage from his sword, not too much damage last time, he's actually going to sheath his rapier, and I'm going to use shocking grasp on the golem in front of me, please. Go for it.
01:16:11
Speaker
How's the crit, dear? ah bri Pretty good. Pretty good. ah The heroes of the Blight, they hit different. ah So that would be... um Yeah, that's... Hang on. That's 32 points of lightning damage. 32?
01:16:42
Speaker
As you charge up this sort of a lightning hand and just strike open palm style into this creature, the light just explodes and this creature just dissipates into ash. Oh, we're so cool. We were until we said that.
01:17:02
Speaker
Because I said that, we are so fucking cool. Anything else with your turn? ah
01:17:09
Speaker
Yeah, um with um having said, um hello old timer to old girl, I'm going to give him Bardic Inspiration because, you know, why not? Cool. Yeah, boy. Cool. Seth. Seth's going to turn around. um Do I do what I want to do? What do I do what Seth wants to do? What do I do? What would be funny?
01:17:30
Speaker
What would the tofu tell you what to do? The tofu would tell me do the right thing. Yes, it fucking would. and So Seth's going to toss the book at the ground below um the feet of our favourite foe. He's then going to turn to Seth. ah Sorry, here Seth. He's not turning to himself. He's going to turn to Alpha and Alpha, what you see in his eyes is something a little more glazed, a little less caring, a little less emotive. And he's going to shrug and go, stop my fight.
01:18:01
Speaker
And um he's going to take off ah past Alpha, past Rains, had a jog um back the way he's come to find... I don't know. i't He doesn't know. He's just going to go somewhere that isn't there ah and just leave the vicinity. If you need context, he's he's going to go to somewhere that gives him an overview of the city outside of here. They're away from the Coliseum and just kind of get get tabs on what the fuck's happening.
01:18:28
Speaker
Usefully enough, by the time that you do that, you descend down all those staircases, you come out, you see Baal, Nyx, and Emron in that square. So you sort of rejoin. yeah Cool. under over Thank you. Alpha, you've just watched that happen. What do you do? Alpha's a bit stunned by Seth walking off. Alpha's still kind of with there this kind of hero complex for him. He's going to...
01:18:58
Speaker
in very many ways where you've seen the little mechanics of Alpha just kind of form into a little cannon. You're going to see it form into a little ball and it's basically going to chuck it um over the criss-cross over these like stone type ah creatures and kind of land in a spot ah that will cover, that can cover all four of these stone type creatures in a 10 foot square radius and I'm going to cast Shatter. and Can it get broken?
01:19:28
Speaker
I'm not using my cannon. Oh, sorry. I said it's a similar kind of aspects to it. Sorry. Yeah, it's a similar aspect to the cannon, but this one's kind of stayed balled up, and it gets thrown over ah the Chris again. So it's not actually the cannon. And I can reforge them anyway. But yes, I'm casting shattered. So the four that are in front of the crisker dexterity saving throws, is it? yeah ah You do it at disadvantage if a creature is made of inorganic material.
01:19:58
Speaker
And my apologies if it's Constitution, not Tex. Con. OK. Con. Good thing you checked the spell before you used it, Con. Yeah, really is. definitely they all They all fail because of the disadvantage. In that case, then they all take 23 points of Thunder damage.
01:20:20
Speaker
So damn Yeah, I rolled really well. I want three max damage title. What was the radius on the spell 10 feet? It's 10 feet so I can kind of hit all of them. We are getting the up grisk, grisk. Does Drago take it as well then? It was to the southern. Oh Drago takes it.
01:20:38
Speaker
No, no, he doesn't. Joago gives it. This isn't next. You watch as Alpha summons this power and you destroy three of them in one spell. Whoa. Yeah. Overkill. Anything else you want to do with the 10? Are you following Seth?
01:20:56
Speaker
Um, I'm going to start walking up the stairs to like the plateau of the Colosseum, all this, like getting a high ground type advantage, but I'm not going to go too far away without rains, seeing as he's following it. I'm kind of looking at rains, waiting on his decision. I'll allow you to hold the rest of your movement to see if rains also exit. But before we get to that, we have, we have our Gellan, a hoot.
01:21:23
Speaker
So Ahoot's now with Ol' Gal, he's gonna use, um he's gonna basically look over very quickly to the the the gnome and to Karstan, and he's gonna use a telepathic message um just into Drago's ears, and just say, ooh, black bean dengons diddler, you best clean up here and get the fuck out. And then he'll openly say to the rest,
01:21:51
Speaker
You guys gotta get yourself safe. Old girl don't like the front lines. And he's going to cast Fly on himself and go, oh, come on girl. And he's going to use his movement to get himself up.
01:22:06
Speaker
into the air and away from the very front lines of the battle. he will He's not going to just completely disappear and scoot away. um He wants to try and get out of range because I know he's just taken a ah javelin as well, and but ah he he will, for for If things look like they're going south, he'll definitely bring himself back into the fray um to help out. But he's trying to kind of move himself away from the that the firing line and giving himself a vantage point by flying up. You're hit for an opportunity attack of 21.
01:22:40
Speaker
ah Change that to an eight for me please, as he uses his second portent. and just kind of sees it at the last second and goes, fuck you, boy! Just to try and put them off. but This is 12. Yeah, Mrs. Fortunately. Okay, then yes. By one. You and a hoot have flown out of the fray for now. Awesome. Happy days. You watch as the criss-criss just sort of push on and press against the remaining forces.
01:23:13
Speaker
Demontrace reigns you see, looks to his feet where his photo was lying.
01:23:23
Speaker
Alfie probably doesn't have the angle to see this, but Reins you do. He picks it up, looks around for a second, very confused, and puts it back in his breast pocket, but continues to focus on the fight. The Acris Carrara are able to destroy the remaining two stone golems, and you watch as they just progress. They push past Drago and Karstan, continuing
01:23:47
Speaker
anti-clockwise around the arena, and there is just more behind you, Drago and Karstan. But Drago would um let out a low growl as the Obchriska stepped around him and down one trace as well. But it would be a gnome growl because he keeps forgetting that he's a fucking rock gnome, not a dragonborn. Fuck whoever made that happen.
01:24:11
Speaker
find out later down the line, maybe what that storyline's about, but we'll find out shortly what you want to do. But Raines, we'll come back to you. Yeah, Raines is going to pick out Arubit's cube and he's going to just hold it up and wave it to Karstan, knowing that he can see through time with his perception. And he's going to enchant a message on it and it's just going to say, FAO, Helena Sleepguard, Sleepguard, Shadow Mende, We Should Be Friends.
01:24:41
Speaker
And then he's going to, and then a final thing that's going to be PS Karstan, love the book. And he's just going to hold hang on. Sorry. ward You've really lost me. You can see through time. no no car tank conce through top pi range is what rains has pulled up this rubbi's cube and it's waving it in front of his way passive perception and direction and it's just going to enchant it with um
01:25:20
Speaker
Time to go and it's going to make his way out. Okay. So alpha and brains also leave the fray. So all of our core party.
01:25:31
Speaker
Our main characters aren't in combative states anymore, so we won't follow
New Alliances and Memory Modification
01:25:36
Speaker
this story. However, we would perhaps like to know, as Alpha gets his last cursory look, do Drago and Karstan turn and support the Epichriska, as they fight more of these creatures and protect more of the civilians, or do they exit at that point? It's Syengar still down below. Syengar's still down below. That's where Drago's going. Drago would leap off straight into the arena, but would Karstan do in those moments?
01:26:02
Speaker
ah Based on what Karsten knows, how does he feel about... Oh, no, yeah, actually, um... You're fucking coming with me, come on. Well, Karsten also wants to modify Delmon Tracer's memory so he forgets that he saw Draco and Karsten. Nice, I fucking love that. Do that and then we'll fuck that big guy up over there.
01:26:22
Speaker
That's the stuff that we'll explore. Castar knows he has, so we'll do that off-screen, Danny. I'll talk to you about what he'd do. Because because obviously, Castar knows he's got a reputation that he needs to not be seen by the Ecriska. Okay.
Season Transition and Gathering for Battle
01:26:36
Speaker
In which case, our initiative will end because we're going to continue to follow our Season 2 characters, not our Season 1 characters. All six of you find yourselves back outside the melee. That square that was once a festival hours ago of celebration and travellers and a snapshot of everything good about Erith is now being thrust into bloodshed and and destruction.
01:27:10
Speaker
Where you feel safe is uncertain. Your allies have protected you thus far, but you are vulnerable. You are out in the open of the city and who knows where you're going to end up. You meet back as a six. You huddle, bile with an incredibly weighty egg in your arms. You will not let go.
01:27:33
Speaker
And just as your thoughts are thinking about where, where should we go next? What do we do?
