Curse of Strahd Episode 25: Silver Bullets to the Heart
21 Plays1 month ago
A colossal explosion rings out from Von Richten's Tower, the wagon outside booby trapped to ward off would-be thieves. The blast echoes across the woods, and in the distance, the sound of wolves howling echo right back. Trapped in the tower, surrounded, Call the Lightning makes a bold decision that changes the fate of the party forever... The Blade's Edge pierces our hearts once again, and it digs in deeper than ever.

The Blade's Edge
And last we left off.
Adventure Begins: Exploring Van Richten's Tower
00:00:56
The Blade's Edge
ah The gang left Vlaki, saw a mysterious man dump what appeared to be a body in a lake like Zarevich, found some clothes on the road, saw some needle blights. Our new familiar owl friend noticed some wolves in the north.
00:01:15
The Blade's Edge
The gang then headed ah more West called the Lightning as they're known. ah Found Van Richten's tower doesn't seem to be anybody in there. A wagon out front that's not his. First floor with some golems that would lift an elevator to a decrepit second and third floor. A fourth floor that looked like a sleeping place but with burnt pages and a severed head and a wooden chest.
Explosive Trap and Aftermath Discussion
00:01:41
The Blade's Edge
As they went back down, ah the lock wasn't able to be broken by non-magical spell-like means. um So they found a trapdoor underneath, opened it, which set off 101 bottles of ah alchemist fire. So as we left off, massive explosion heard throughout the valley, probably all the way back in Valaki, they heard this as this explosion happens.
00:02:19
The Blade's Edge
um First and foremost, we'll go around the horn. Let's know who you are and who you're playing. And then maybe what they're thinking in this moment. In Nabi, Trevor, you were blown back, knocked prone as you look out at this and hear, are you in the distance? ah Who are you? Who are you playing? Which thinking?
00:02:36
Trevor
ah Yeah, yeah names Trev skis I'm playing in Obskis and he is a Shatter kai blade singer I Don't know he's probably taking a second to kind of come to he's probably a little rocks right now kind of like a like flashbang vibes where he's like his visions kind of coming back to him because I was probably bright as fuck he's probably got a ringing in his ears and
00:02:49
The Blade's Edge
Beautiful. And what's Inabi thinking right now? Knocked on his ass, smoked.
00:03:06
Trevor
On the ground looking up seeing his owl like trying to help him up a little bit or something ah He hears the the what how many can he make out how if it's just the one howler if he hears hears multiple the
00:03:24
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, make a consave for me. A consave for this, this flash bang of it all.
00:03:35
The Blade's Edge
yeah
00:03:39
Trevor
Uh-oh, can't hear you.
00:03:40
Alma Graves
we're getting ah We're getting some audio issue.
00:03:43
Trevor
Yeah, you're dropping out a little bit.
00:03:44
The Blade's Edge
I am.
00:03:44
Alma Graves
Drop skis, yeah.
00:03:45
Trevor
Yep.
00:03:46
Kyle
That was
00:03:46
Alma Graves
There we go, now you're better.
00:03:46
The Blade's Edge
Hello, check, check.
00:03:46
Trevor
Oh, you bet you sound great right now.
00:03:47
Alma Graves
Yeah, there he is, yeah, uh-huh.
00:03:47
The Blade's Edge
Hi. Oh, okay. Um,
00:03:51
Trevor
It's almost like a gate was kicking in and turning you off or something.
00:03:53
The Blade's Edge
Oh, weird.
00:03:53
Kyle
am
00:03:54
The Blade's Edge
The consave was for the flash bang effects you saved. So just make a straight up perception check.
00:04:03
Trevor
Oh, Nat 20 for 23.
00:04:07
The Blade's Edge
Uh, a lot you hear, um, at like nine wolves.
00:04:09
Trevor
shit okay okay I would try and I think my goal would be to get up get these people and try and get my friends inside or then find them in whatever the you know rubble and smoke I'm looking at right now
00:04:14
The Blade's Edge
Um, and then you hear a couple howls of something larger, not dire wolves. And it's heading your way. After the explosion, you hear them.
00:04:26
The Blade's Edge
They've mobilized.
Strategizing Against Werewolves
00:04:40
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, you, you, um, you start to head through the smoke and first you'd come across a bash Calvin. Let's know who you are, who you're playing and what you're thinking and doing in this moment.
00:04:50
Kyle
Yeah. Um, Kyle G playing bash blood singer, Mr. Half-orc barbarian, um, son of Kavan by the way, just in case you guys weren't aware.
00:04:59
The Blade's Edge
And you're a ah frenzy barbarian.
00:05:02
Kyle
Yes.
00:05:03
The Blade's Edge
Lovely.
00:05:04
Kyle
Yeah. Um, yeah. That moment, the, the, the second that this explosion happened, everything went slow motion. Um, I see it was Alma that opened it, right?
00:05:17
Alma Graves
Oh yeah.
00:05:17
The Blade's Edge
and And you weren't down there, so you don't even necessarily know exactly what happened.
00:05:17
Kyle
Um,
00:05:20
The Blade's Edge
You just saw this thing.
00:05:22
Kyle
Yeah, so I, you know, I hear the trapdoor open and then in slow motion, I see flames billow out from under the wagon. And then a split second after that whole thing goes up in flames, I get knocked back.
00:05:38
Kyle
Um, take a lot of damage. Um, and now I'm just in like a day's confusion, pure chaos all around me, smoke enveloping my vision. Um, I also hear those wolves in the background.
00:05:50
The Blade's Edge
No, your ears are ringing.
00:05:52
Kyle
My ears are, yeah, my ears are shot.
00:05:53
The Blade's Edge
The first thing you notice is is a knobby maybe puts a hand on your shoulder and your head whips around and you see a knobby.
00:05:58
Kyle
Yeah.
00:06:03
Kyle
Yeah. So I'm, I, I don't know what's going on. I'm just in like this dazed state. So maybe a knobby is like in a panic, hearing those wolves. Um, but I am, I'm none the wiser.
00:06:13
Trevor
Yeah, I'm 100% I got like, or I'm trying to like lift this gigantic person up. And I'm just yelling at you. I'm going get inside, get inside.
00:06:24
The Blade's Edge
Um, you, and you hear through the, the ears ringing and, um, next to you ah amidst the rubble.
00:06:24
Kyle
Yeah.
00:06:24
Kyle
And I, I try to.
00:06:31
Alma Graves
ha
00:06:35
The Blade's Edge
Uh, Alna, let us know who you are, who you're playing and what you're thinking right now.
00:06:39
Alma Graves
ah Yeah, so currently this is this is Kyle Alma is underneath the wagon. um The wagon has just exploded and the. For me, seeing it from that perspective, there's no way that I would walk out alive from that. And so I'm using one of my Eldritch invocations um to use Freedom of Movement, which is ah actually a fourth level spell that allows me to ah essentially move freely. So I'm just burning it because, like, narratively it sounds kind of cool, to kind of like be launched out from underneath and just
00:07:16
Alma Graves
be kind of smoking smoldering but still alive.
00:07:20
The Blade's Edge
of the fire not affecting you as much as it would because of your tiefling nature.
00:07:25
Alma Graves
Yes.
00:07:26
The Blade's Edge
um But days on the eastern side of the wagon, maybe stars in your eyes, spiders, spider shaped stars, sun shaped stars. um ah Tommy, who are you who you're playing? What's your thinking?
00:07:44
Vesz'rak
Hey, how's it going? Tommy, playing Desan, the vengeance paladin of Lathander, potentially Loth. Nobody really knows. I don't even know. ah Just got struck by lightning from the tower, blown to smithereens by
Battle with Werewolves: Intense Combat
00:07:58
Vesz'rak
this stupid wagon. I'm probably on my back, just staring up, just laying in the grass, shell shocked.
00:08:08
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Romeo D 20 the clouds for a brief second for like half a second.
00:08:10
Vesz'rak
All right.
00:08:14
Vesz'rak
It's gonna be a natural 20, Brian.
00:08:16
Kyle
Beautiful.
00:08:16
Alma Graves
Ooh!
00:08:16
Trevor
Ugh.
00:08:17
Kyle
um
00:08:22
The Blade's Edge
Like when clouds move for the first time since you've been in brovia, you see the clouds moving and there is a like one second gap.
00:08:33
The Blade's Edge
where the clouds part, and you see a ray of sunshine just hit you directly on the face. Thank you so much.
00:08:42
Vesz'rak
I think i that I like, jolt up and I just go, I'm like looking around and see what's going on.
00:08:47
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. You do. goes It goes straight back to being dark and raining. But Inabi, you've grabbed Bash, you see Alma ah dash out of the wreckage, and you see Dassan snap up.
00:09:02
Trevor
Yeah, I would try and get Bash inside. I would yell at Alma if she can hear me. Grab this on.
00:09:11
The Blade's Edge
Cool. Yeah, you guys can hear now at this point.
00:09:13
Trevor
cool
00:09:13
The Blade's Edge
The ringing is.
00:09:17
Vesz'rak
I grab my sun sword up off the ground and just kind of shakily ah stand up.
00:09:23
The Blade's Edge
OK.
00:09:27
The Blade's Edge
OK. The howls sound closer. ah Trampling of footsteps.
00:09:35
Vesz'rak
ah sort so it So we need to get in the tower.
00:09:36
Alma Graves
Hell yeah.
00:09:39
Trevor
i I mean, unless we want to fight these things, but I don't think we want to fight these things in our current.
00:09:45
Alma Graves
I mean.
00:09:45
Vesz'rak
Yeah.
00:09:46
Trevor
So I feel like the vibe is just trying to get inside. And I kind of want to try something with this elevator too.
00:09:54
Vesz'rak
I'd hobble in, I'd hobble inside
00:09:54
Alma Graves
We we can't we can't use any of our magic in there, just a reminder.
00:09:58
Trevor
Yep. That's true. Smoke, if you got them, heal up if you can before we run in. But I think we got to run in there. ah might
00:10:06
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, even, even Alma, as you get where you are within five feet of the tower, you feel your freedom of movement go away. So it gets you out of the rubble within, as you get in five feet of this tower, it goes away.
00:10:13
Alma Graves
Yeah.
00:10:19
The Blade's Edge
So, you know, that, uh, it's not only within, it's also anywhere five feet outside of it as well.
00:10:24
Alma Graves
OK, I can I can top us off real quick. I'm going to use two charges of my healing light and walk away from the anti magic. Real quick.
00:10:35
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:10:36
Alma Graves
I'll use two charges on myself. Two charges or let's see three charges on Ash. Hassan, you need some more too, right?
00:10:49
Vesz'rak
ah Yeah, I yeah.
00:10:51
Alma Graves
OK.
00:10:52
Kyle
So what is this? What am I?
00:10:55
Alma Graves
That's 3d6 for you, Ash. So that's eight healing.
00:11:02
Kyle
Oh, you're rolling it. Okay.
00:11:04
Alma Graves
Five for me, so I get five.
00:11:07
Kyle
Oh.
00:11:08
Alma Graves
And then Tommy, because Tommy will use the last, ah or who Inabi, you were close, right?
00:11:16
Trevor
No, no, no, get this off the shelf.
00:11:17
Alma Graves
OK, so Tommy, so 3D you. So 3D 6, 14 to Dusan.
00:11:23
Vesz'rak
Perfect. I'll walk. um I will split this evenly. I will give myself... I have 15 Lay on Hands points left. 5 to me, 5 to Alma, 5 to Bash.
00:11:34
Vesz'rak
And I have no more left.
00:11:34
Alma Graves
OK. 5.
00:11:37
The Blade's Edge
And I'll be at after this has happened because it takes some time to do, ah you know, actions to do, which is time in this game. And I'll be you look out and you see cresting out of the trees, making their way towards the causeway, which is that like piece of land that goes from the end into where you guys are.
00:11:55
Trevor
yeah Yep.
00:11:57
The Blade's Edge
You see roughly ah you see close to 20 beings. you see some wolves and then you see something bigger ah going ah on all for making their way towards the causeway.
00:12:13
Trevor
Guys, we got to get and inside unless we're fighting these things.
00:12:14
Kyle
Okay, and then we're gonna die.
00:12:16
Trevor
We have to get in the building.
00:12:18
Vesz'rak
If we can't use magic in there, neither can they, huh? Neither can the wolves.
00:12:23
Alma Graves
Are we scared of these wolves, huh? I want to kill him.
00:12:26
Kyle
Yes!
00:12:27
Alma Graves
I want to kill him.
00:12:30
Trevor
Do you actually, you wanna fight?
00:12:32
Alma Graves
Dude, I'm <unk> I'll drop sickening radiance on them.
00:12:33
Kyle

00:12:51
Kyle
Yeah. Hey, um, you guys can fight. I'm going to roll my, my new character real quick.
00:12:57
Alma Graves
ah
00:12:57
Vesz'rak
Hey, hey Bash, what do you what do you think about playing next, huh? What do you think?
00:13:00
Alma Graves
I mean, what's our plan? If we go in this tower, just wait while they surround us.
00:13:03
Kyle
Yes. Cause they, if we can get into a position where they don't know that we're here, then we can just hide away from them.
00:13:05
Trevor
Yeah.
00:13:08
Vesz'rak
What about the golems, huh?
00:13:08
Kyle
to leave
00:13:10
Alma Graves
All right, all right, well, then let's just hide. Let's just hide, cowards.
00:13:12
The Blade's Edge
All right, they've, they've gotten to the edge of the cause way and Nabi, they are starting to cross.
00:13:15
Trevor
All right, we're going inside, inside, inside, inside.
00:13:18
Alma Graves
Inside, all right, we'll go inside.
00:13:19
Vesz'rak
Inside.
00:13:20
Alma Graves
and
00:13:20
Vesz'rak
All right, we're going inside.
00:13:24
Vesz'rak
And while we're in here, I want everyone to think of their backup character.
00:13:26
Trevor
I communicate to my owl. ah Go the opposite direction and just stay away from them, get in the trees and keep yourself safe, if it can.
00:13:39
Kyle
Who is the smallest person?
00:13:42
Trevor
I don't know if that works.
00:13:45
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, that works. Your owl, it can fly.
00:13:46
Vesz'rak
ah
00:13:47
The Blade's Edge
It looks like these wolves can't fly, so he flies.
00:13:49
Trevor
Okay, cool.
00:13:51
Alma Graves
Dishon is the smallest of us.
00:13:53
Trevor
I also want to try something with this elevator while we're right here.
00:13:53
Kyle
Okay.
00:13:57
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, as you guys get in, um you see pulling up outside.
00:14:00
Trevor
oh wait no
00:14:02
Kyle
Also, we close the door, I think. I would close the door on on the way in.
00:14:07
Trevor
Yes.
00:14:07
The Blade's Edge
ah You don't you don't see a way to close the door.
00:14:07
Kyle
There we go.
00:14:10
Trevor
I would try, we should try and, yes, yeah, literally, exactly, do the dance, but do it backwards.
00:14:10
Kyle
What?
00:14:11
The Blade's Edge
This this.
00:14:11
Vesz'rak
Oh, we gotta reverse dance.

The Blade's Edge
All right. You do the moves in reverse order as the door begins to close. You guys see outside. You see a two, three, four, five, six. You see nine wolves.
00:14:53
The Blade's Edge
Pull up. You see. um
00:15:01
The Blade's Edge
Six, what you can only assume are werewolves.
00:15:06

The Blade's Edge
And you see one in the back of the pack as it shows up.

Kyle
Let's see if we assume they know that we're inside of here.
00:17:07
Vesz'rak

Alma Graves
Yeah. Can you help us with our quests first before we fight you?
00:17:27
Vesz'rak

00:17:30
Vesz'rak
Maybe he'll, you don't know, maybe, but look, his name is Jimmothy. J-I-M-M-O-T-H-Y.
00:17:41
The Blade's Edge
Um, he, you hear the man's voice say, um, through the door.
00:17:51
The Blade's Edge
Um, he says, ah, I know of Timothy, come, come outside and I'll take you to him.

Vesz'rak
Okay, oh, come on.
00:18:03
Kyle
Yay.
00:18:05
Vesz'rak
Okay, would you say that if I cast, okay, if I cast Zone of Truth on you, would that answer stay the same?
00:18:05
The Blade's Edge
Keep searching for a way in.
00:18:14
The Blade's Edge
If you do what, what is that?
00:18:15
Vesz'rak
What?
00:18:19
Trevor
It's like a spell that makes you tell the truth.
00:18:20
Vesz'rak
but It's like, yeah, it's like, you ever heard of Wonder Woman? She has a, she has a lasso, nevermind, we're getting lost.
00:18:26
The Blade's Edge
Oh, what's everybody everybody's passive perception.
00:18:29
Trevor
They're also searching for a way in, I think.
00:18:31
Alma Graves
My passive perception is 10.
00:18:32
Kyle
Fifteen.
00:18:35
Vesz'rak
thirteen.
00:18:36
Trevor
13.
00:18:38
The Blade's Edge
What's yours bash.
00:18:39
Kyle
Fifteen.
00:18:40
The Blade's Edge
With the 15 passive perception and the fact that you, you, heard you knew where the scaffolding was bash. You hear the very slightest sound of somebody climbing a ladder.
00:18:50
Vesz'rak
oh sh Maybe maybe we surprised me just but i'm russian ah they're trying to climb up huh
00:18:59
Kyle
Well, if but but if ah if if ah yeah um if they have just one guy come in, we can just kill them as they funnel in.
00:19:08
Vesz'rak
True we got a real thermopoly.
00:19:09
Kyle
You so you smell me?
00:19:10
Alma Graves
just just Just realize I'm completely useless.
00:19:15
Kyle
Ugh.
00:19:15
Trevor
Yeah, true, we don't have magic in here, I know.
00:19:17
Alma Graves
That's why I didn't i didn't necessarily.
00:19:17
Vesz'rak
Oh we had to we had to OK what if.
00:19:19
Alma Graves

00:19:21
Vesz'rak

00:19:29
Alma Graves
Look, I can blast the second we get out there.
00:19:29
Kyle
Wait, why would we leave the magic field? I'm not a magic guy.
00:19:36
Vesz'rak
That's what I'm saying. I mean, i I'm a half magic guy, but like we could really do some damn.
00:19:44
Kyle
Oh my god, this is crazy.
00:19:45
Trevor
I mean, if we want to do it, I'm down to do it. I just feel that we all need to, I think we, as long as we're all on board with it, let's send it.
00:19:51
Vesz'rak
Yeah.
00:19:51
Kyle
We don't have a lot of choices here.
00:19:51
Vesz'rak
but Let's go one by one and see what we wanna do. ah Let's go top down.
00:19:59
Kyle
I mean, okay.
00:20:00
Vesz'rak
Alma, what do you wanna do?
00:20:01
Alma Graves
um but Yeah, so I have I have ah blood on my mind.
00:20:06
Vesz'rak
I see Brian moving tokens.
00:20:08
Kyle
Yeah, I saw a token fly across my screen. I don't like the way that looked.
00:20:11
The Blade's Edge
You can see that.
00:20:11
Trevor
Yeah.
00:20:11
Alma Graves
Yeah.
00:20:11
The Blade's Edge
You shouldn't be able to see that.
00:20:12
Vesz'rak
Yeah, I saw that.
00:20:13
Alma Graves
Yeah, I flew across the screen.
00:20:15
Vesz'rak
Brian's moving tokens on us.
00:20:15
Kyle
Just for a split second.
00:20:16
The Blade's Edge
Hey, you shouldn't be able to see that.
00:20:17
Trevor
You.
00:20:18
Alma Graves
Yeah.
00:20:19
Vesz'rak
Hey, Desan didn't see shit, okay?
00:20:19
Kyle
and
00:20:20
Alma Graves
So so we're currently being surrounded, so we attempts are not going to be good, but.
00:20:20
Trevor
That's just got that passive did.
00:20:25
The Blade's Edge
Right.
00:20:25
Alma Graves
um Yeah.
00:20:25
The Blade's Edge
I mean, yeah, you heard the guy say search for a way in there.
00:20:27
Vesz'rak
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:27
The Blade's Edge
They're outside looking.
00:20:28
Kyle
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:29
The Blade's Edge
I've been rolling D twenties. They're been searching for ways in.
00:20:32
Vesz'rak
They're looking.
Negotiations and Tensions with Werewolf Leader
00:20:33
Vesz'rak
um
00:20:34
Alma Graves
I think let's go kill the leader.
00:20:37
Vesz'rak
Anabi, what do you feel like doing?
00:20:38
Trevor
For what I'm down, I'm down if that's.
00:20:45
Vesz'rak
um Okay, Bash, what do you want to do?
00:20:48
Kyle
It sounds like you guys have, uh, you know, if if we have majority magic people, you can't cast magic in here. I will do whatever I need to do in order to support your guys's ability to make money moves.
00:21:01
Vesz'rak
I think
00:21:02
Kyle
Therefore.
00:21:02
Alma Graves
Yeah.
00:21:02
Trevor
Money moves.
00:21:03
Alma Graves
that means go get hit so i don't
00:21:07
Trevor
Yeah.
00:21:07
The Blade's Edge
And, and to not be what you were saying you wanted to do Spanish.
00:21:07
Trevor
If you can like.
00:21:07
Kyle
my
00:21:10
The Blade's Edge
Want to make sure you're not getting stepped on.
00:21:12
Trevor
No, no, no, no. I was considering trying it, but I feel like if they're going to get in, I don't want to. it Assuming what I want to try. I have a theory, but it even if the theory is true, I don't want the, if they get in here, fuck other shit up, you know, maybe.
00:21:29
Alma Graves
That means go get hit so I don't.
00:21:32
Trevor
Yeah, if we want to go take care of them, I'm i'm down with that. If everybody else is down with that. If we just try and fucking barrel our way out of here. and
00:21:41
Vesz'rak
Okay. I have an idea and God knows I love splitting the party.
00:21:42
Trevor
but
00:21:45
Vesz'rak
Um, but what if a Navi and, um, Alma go up to like the scaffolding area, then they would get kind of, they would be able to like kind of flank them a little bit, but if they're already up there.
00:21:58
Trevor
The magic is the only issue. We like, since we're such have we heavily rely on magic. So until we got outside and away from the tower, I don't know what I mean, I can, I can hit them with swords and shit I just think getting out might be tricky either way.
00:22:15
Vesz'rak
Okay, i think we I think maybe we just go bash and I go full distracto mode.
00:22:15
Trevor
That is it.
00:22:20
Vesz'rak
what and and then and i can cast And I can cast darkness once I get clear and probably give you guys more time to set up.
00:22:20
Trevor
Yeah, I think we, yeah, maybe we just barrel out of this door in front of us.
00:22:31
Alma Graves
Sure. I can also cast darkness.
00:22:40
Kyle
um Yeah.
00:22:42
Alma Graves
I'm down, I'm down.
00:22:43
Vesz'rak
Does everyone have a plan of action of what they're doing as soon as we open the door and get out?
00:22:48
Alma Graves
Yes.
00:22:48
Kyle
there
00:22:49
Vesz'rak
I'm gonna cast Darkness as soon as soon as I can to give our spellcasters more time to get into a more advantageous position.
00:22:58
Trevor
yeah make Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:01
Vesz'rak
And I just wanna put it out there. I know I'm talking a lot, but the main guy seems like he knows where Jimothy is. So I would, I, look.
00:23:08
Trevor
I don't think he does.
00:23:12
Vesz'rak
So if we can not kill him, I say we do that. That's just, hey, I'm just throwing it out there.
00:23:19
Alma Graves
I ain't got bad news.
00:23:20
Trevor
I start doing the dance.
00:23:20
Alma Graves
I'm gonna, um'm I'm gonna, I'm probably gonna kill him.
00:23:21
Trevor
We're going, we're sending it.
00:23:23
Vesz'rak
All right,
00:23:25
The Blade's Edge
All right, and I'll be you do the dance.
00:23:27
Trevor
Yep.
00:23:28
Vesz'rak

00:23:31
Alma Graves

00:23:32
The Blade's Edge
Is that you doing the dance and I'll be.
00:23:35
Trevor
What's that?
00:23:36
Alma Graves
And now he's doing the dance.
00:23:36
The Blade's Edge
You're doing you said you're doing the dance.
00:23:37
Trevor
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep.
00:23:39
The Blade's Edge
OK. All right, a couple of things are going to happen here.
00:23:45
The Blade's Edge
Oh.
00:23:50
The Blade's Edge
And Nabi, you start doing the dance as you do or about to roll in initiative. The door begins to open and Nabi, you say, I'm down. And as you say that one of the golems looks at you.
00:24:05
The Blade's Edge
Um, at the word down, he looks at you.
00:24:07
Trevor
Yep, yep, that's so funny.
00:24:07
Alma Graves
Uh oh.
00:24:09
The Blade's Edge
Uh, the door opens.
00:24:09
Kyle
What? What?
00:24:12
The Blade's Edge
Uh, you immediately see this guy standing right at the entrance, holding a spear. Um, as well as, um, one guy you see, as you maybe look up a knobby through the five foot hole in the ceiling and the five foot above that, you see one guy's face.
00:24:30
The Blade's Edge
ah It looks like this.
00:24:32
Trevor
Ew.
00:24:33
Alma Graves
I don't like that guy.
00:24:34
The Blade's Edge
I'll look down through the top, um, at you guys, and I need you guys to roll initiative.
00:24:42
Alma Graves
Let's go.
00:24:45
The Blade's Edge
Let everybody know what you roll as well.
00:24:48
Kyle
I rolled an 18, but my character wasn't selected. One sec.
00:24:53
Trevor
And now he gets a nat one for four.
00:24:56
Vesz'rak
It's on with the Niner.
00:24:56
Kyle
Oh, I actually rolled another 18. That's fire.
00:25:02
Alma Graves

00:25:06
The Blade's Edge
Okay. You guys all roll. All right. Um, here.
00:25:08
Alma Graves
Yeah.
00:25:20
The Blade's Edge
The werewolves that started at all. Werewolves that brought your original group to Barovia. have come to the sound and trapped you on this Island inside and to sawn as the door opens. You see this guy looks at you for a second and says, don't do this. I'll bring you to jimothy.
00:25:54
Vesz'rak
I mean, guys, he said he'd bring us to Jimothy, huh?
00:25:57
Trevor
Can I make it?
00:25:57
Alma Graves
Can I do an inside check?
00:25:59
Trevor

I believe you, I'd say I believe you.
00:26:04
Alma Graves
That's that's a 13.
00:26:08
The Blade's Edge
He's not lying about knowing the name Jimmothy.
00:26:11
Vesz'rak
yeah See, guys, hey.
00:26:13
The Blade's Edge
That much is true.
00:26:14
Trevor
That is good.
00:26:18
The Blade's Edge
But they didn't come here to make friends.
00:26:20
Alma Graves
Now they did not.
00:26:24
The Blade's Edge
Um, all right. Um, at that you see him, he's the only one with a spear. And you see that he immediately, um, as his body starts to change and he sort of keeps this humanoid head that he has on him while his lower half grows hair and grows long, his limbs to stand.
00:26:46
The Blade's Edge
Um, he makes one spear attack at you to son over your shield.
00:26:47
Kyle
Mmm!
00:26:50
Alma Graves
He can use magic?
00:26:51
Vesz'rak
Shield up, shield up.
00:26:51
The Blade's Edge
It's not magic. Um, this is, it is a curse, my non dirty 20.
00:27:05
Vesz'rak
ah Yeah, that is.
00:27:08
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Do you take six points of piercing damage as he threw over your shield?
00:27:10
Vesz'rak
OK, go on.
00:27:13
The Blade's Edge
Um, and then he will take a second attack, uh, with his spear as he takes a step back.
00:27:17
Vesz'rak
Come on.
00:27:24
The Blade's Edge
The 17 okay.
00:27:26
Vesz'rak
ah Misses it shield up 18 AC 18
00:27:29
The Blade's Edge
Um, he takes a five, 10, 15, 20 back. That is his turn. Uh, leaving the doorway open, inviting you outside bash. You're up.
00:27:45
Kyle

Alma Graves
We're not dead.
00:28:20

Vesz'rak
No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey. That's Quitter Talk.
00:28:39
Kyle
Can I sidestep over to here without incurring an opportunity attack?
00:28:44
The Blade's Edge
Sure.
00:28:46
Kyle
Okay, cuz I want to be in this corner. I don't wanna be able to be surrounded by more than two guys at once.

The Blade's Edge

Sorry. It's 14 D four plus 12, 14 D four plus 12 halved 45 points of piercing damage halved to 22 because you're raging.
00:33:11
Kyle
Okay.
00:33:21
Vesz'rak
Oh my god.
00:33:24
Kyle
Why is it halved?
00:33:25
Alma Graves
You're raging.
00:33:27
Kyle
er
00:33:28
The Blade's Edge
You take half, you take half bludgeoning piercing and slashing damage.
00:33:28
Alma Graves
ah Yeah.
00:33:28
Kyle
Thank Christ.
00:33:30
Trevor
um
00:33:31
Alma Graves
You know the cool thing about being a barbarian. Hell yeah.
00:33:34
The Blade's Edge
That's your like your main feat. As you get a bite on every part of your body, both legs, both arms, one jumps on and hits one side of your neck, one jumps up and hits like ah your shoulder.
00:33:48
The Blade's Edge
um All of these wolves bite you at once. You take 22 points of piercing damage. That is all of their turns. Alma, you're up.
00:33:56
Kyle
All things considered, not that bad.
00:33:56
Alma Graves
All right, so I am gonna move one, two, and then I'm looking at um right behind Desan and seeing that there's wolves blocking the door.
00:33:57
Trevor
He ate that.
00:34:04
Alma Graves
Can I move through these guys?
00:34:06
The Blade's Edge
You can, yeah.
00:34:07
Alma Graves
Okay, so I'm gonna...
00:34:07
The Blade's Edge
You would incur an opportunity attack, but you can.
00:34:10
Alma Graves
Okay, so I am going to move here and here, and I'm gonna look at this guy.
00:34:14
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:34:17
The Blade's Edge
One, only one opportunity attack and no pack tactics, which is a 14.
00:34:21
Alma Graves
Okay. 14 is gonna meet the pizza.
00:34:26
The Blade's Edge
Uh, 2d4 plus two. Uh, you take nine points of piercing damage as you run through the door and one bites at you.
00:34:32
Alma Graves
Nine piercing damage. It's a lot of damage. I'm locking eyes with this guy.
00:34:36
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:34:37
Alma Graves
And looking back through my notes, ah we had gotten the name of the suspected werewolf leader, which is Karel, or Carol, I don't know.
00:34:47
Alma Graves
um And Karel, OK, cool.
00:34:47
The Blade's Edge
The name was Corellia.
00:34:50
Alma Graves
um And I think I look at him and I'm like, you must be Karel. I've a got something to share with you. And I'm going to drop my sickening radiance. um over, I believe, probably right here.
00:35:06
The Blade's Edge
You're a little, you're dangerously close to the tower to drop a spell.
00:35:13
Alma Graves
ah Wasn't this where I could cast it over there? Or do I need to move one more?
00:35:19
Trevor
that you're within five feet of.
00:35:21
The Blade's Edge
You're within five feet of it. Currently, when you cast it over here, you weren't within five feet the minute.
00:35:23
Alma Graves
Oh.
00:35:26
Alma Graves
Ah, OK.
00:35:27
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. So you would, you would need to move another square.
00:35:29
Alma Graves
Well, that sucks.
00:35:32
Alma Graves
um Fine, then I'm just going to move another square and I'm just going to take the gamble.
00:35:36
The Blade's Edge
Okay. That'll that, if you move to that square, that will provoke another opportunity attack. If you moved one more North, it wouldn't. If you went here, it wouldn't. If you go there, it will. It's up to you.
00:35:46
Alma Graves
ah Oh, OK, sorry, I guess.
00:35:47
Kyle
Then you're in range of three three boys.
00:35:50
Alma Graves
Yeah, it is what it is, um because I'm going to unleash the wrath of Lathander on them.
00:35:54
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:35:58
The Blade's Edge
Okay, sickening radiance.
00:35:58
Alma Graves
um
00:35:59
The Blade's Edge
As you do that, ah he says, ah my legend precedes me. Carol Stojanovic at your service.
00:36:09
Alma Graves
Yeah, let's see if your legend continues past this moment, Bucko.
00:36:10
Kyle
Oh.
00:36:14
Alma Graves
um And yeah, they all need to make 17 con saves or take 22 radiant damage.
00:36:14
Kyle
yeah
00:36:15
Trevor
Fuck off.
00:36:22
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. I got to know where it is. So go ahead and like leave it on the map.
00:36:25
Alma Graves
Oh, sorry, I thought I was drawing. Yeah, let me. ah
00:36:28
The Blade's Edge
And is it everybody in it? Like, are you getting, because if it's everybody, I think bash has to roll.
00:36:32
Alma Graves
Yeah, let's see.
00:36:33
Kyle
Dude.
00:36:34
Alma Graves
So this would hit his space, right?
00:36:37
The Blade's Edge
That will, I'll say that will leave bash out of it right there.
00:36:40
Alma Graves
OK, so yeah, I'll be hitting those guys and I'll just leave this.
00:36:43
The Blade's Edge
Okay. And is that a, uh, so did we determine at that that radiance sold? That's a new thing that we're not doing.
00:36:49
Alma Graves
Yeah, ah you no, no, that's a real thing.
00:36:50
The Blade's Edge
So it is.
00:36:51
Alma Graves
That's a Warlock thing from 2014.
00:36:52
The Blade's Edge
Okay, cool. Cool. So con save and do they take half if they save?
00:36:57
Alma Graves
Yes.
00:36:58
The Blade's Edge
Okay, so here are the wolves, ah just plus ones. Won't matter for the wolves. I'm not even gonna roll for them.
00:37:08
Alma Graves
OK.
00:37:08
The Blade's Edge
All three of those wolves, this blinding light, the same clouds that opened up earlier, ah open up once more and a light shines down on this area.
00:37:19
The Blade's Edge
And you see three wolves immediately.
00:37:23
The Blade's Edge
The opposite of mother night is father son.
00:37:24
Alma Graves
Hell yeah. Exactly. um
00:37:30
The Blade's Edge
Uh, they night here are the werewolves rolls. They roll plus two. Here's the guy closest to you.
00:37:41
The Blade's Edge
17 save. So he'll take 13 damage.
00:37:46
Alma Graves
okay
00:37:47
The Blade's Edge
Uh, and the guy next to Carol 12, he takes 27 points of damage. Uh, and then Carol himself, who I believe doesn't have any sort of, no, he's also just a plus two, uh, 13 he takes.
00:38:06
Alma Graves
OK, and then they also will have one point of exhaustion if they fail.
00:38:12
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:38:13
Kyle
Mm.
00:38:13
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. All, uh, well, so only this guy didn't feel so Carol and, uh, this world back here, both failed both point of exhaustion.
00:38:23
Alma Graves
And for my bonus action, um I will do. um I'll cast Healing Word on myself.
00:38:34
The Blade's Edge
Mm hmm.
00:38:37
Alma Graves
Um, four, blah, blah, blah, blah. 11 points of healing and that's a free usage. So.
00:38:46
The Blade's Edge
OK, you can't cast two spells as one as one turn, so you can arrange the spell so you wouldn't be able to cast Healing Word as a bonus action.
00:38:49
Alma Graves
Oh yeah, that's right. Okay. That's fine. Yeah, I forgot. Okay. That's my turn.
00:38:57
The Blade's Edge
All right. Dishon, you are witnessing from the door. You've already seen ah five wolves be felled.
00:39:07
Vesz'rak
Interesting.

00:42:03
The Blade's Edge
ah As his body begins to um grow this hair on it and his limbs begin to distend, he is going to make one claw attack on you and then a bite attack.
00:42:16
Trevor

00:42:20
The Blade's Edge
The claw attack is a 15 plus four is 19.
00:42:25
Trevor
Yep.
00:42:26
The Blade's Edge
2d4 plus two. ah You take nine points of slashing damage. And then the bite is only a four. So the bite misses. He claws you and then goes to bite like the side of your neck, basically, and you're able to move out of the way. um Then this guy is going to go five, 10, 15, Alma. And as this guy runs at you from the side of the building over where the scaffolding was, you see his body begin to shift and shape and completely retake the form of
00:43:00
The Blade's Edge
ah the other werewolves, and as he does, he's going to also attempt to claw you and then bite you.
00:43:07

00:43:24
The Blade's Edge
That is his turn. Now it is the other werewolf's turn and two of them need to make saves because they start in the sickening rating.
00:43:35
Alma Graves
Correct.
00:43:36
The Blade's Edge
So that guy rolls a 13.
00:43:37
Vesz'rak

00:44:29
The Blade's Edge
This guy, this guy is going to move out of it and run on all fours towards you, Alma.
00:44:35
Alma Graves
Yeah.
00:44:36
The Blade's Edge

00:45:09
Alma Graves
e
00:45:09
The Blade's Edge
Okay. So he goes to tackle you. You move out of the way and then he will just take a swipe at your midsection with his second attack. Um, this is a 19 to hit 2d4 plus two, uh, seven points of slashing damage.

Vesz'rak
Honestly, not the worst thing to happen. I'm gonna be so real about that.
00:45:46
The Blade's Edge
Um, okay. The other werewolf, um, sees you attacking the leader just on, and he will make a claw attack and a bite attack at you.
00:45:57
Vesz'rak
I was so ready for this until the sickening radiance. I'm a dumb dumb. Go for it.
00:46:03
The Blade's Edge
The eight misses for the claw and the six misses for the bite.
00:46:05
Vesz'rak
Okay.
00:46:08
The Blade's Edge
He claws at the back of your armor, uh, scraping against the metal and then goes to bite and accidentally bites straight into the armor.
00:46:14
Vesz'rak
She's on sweating, I'm okay, I'm okay.
00:46:16
The Blade's Edge

Kyle

The Blade's Edge
You take six points of slashing halved to three and the bite attack is a dirty 20.
00:47:10
The Blade's Edge
D A plus two. So four points of piercing halved to two. So for a total of five damage total. However, on that bite, you hear a deep within your mind bash and I need you to make me a con save.

00:48:14
Kyle
Mmm.

The Blade's Edge
Yes, when you said when the word down was part of your thing, it looked at you as if that was a viable option.

00:49:30
Trevor

The Blade's Edge
Sure.
00:50:12
The Blade's Edge
You, you tell me how, what that looks like. You want it to come and attack.
00:50:12
Trevor
OK.
00:50:15
Trevor
No, probably just like swooping down and giving a help action. So for right now, I want to have it. It has a 60 feet fly speed.
00:50:26
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:50:27
Trevor
um So I want to have it swoop down.
00:50:31
The Blade's Edge
And does it have, does it have a way to not, uh, do opportunity attacks?
00:50:31
Trevor

00:50:35
Trevor
Yes, it has fly by.
00:50:37
The Blade's Edge
Okay, cool.
00:50:38
Trevor
um So it's gonna swoop down by this thing to help 45 there and then keep moving past and then fly another like 10 or 20 feet up into the air over here.
00:50:51
Trevor
I don't know if you can see that flight path. So kind of like swoop down.
00:50:53
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. So it's going to give you the help action on whatever you're about to do.
00:50:57
Trevor
Yep, just on one of the first attack that I make and then keep flying so it will wind up.
00:51:00
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:51:05
Trevor
here ish but as it flies by ah as it starts heading over I will use my bonus action to cast blade song and then for my action I will attack and with wizard six one of them can be a cantrip I'm gonna do a yeah
00:51:15
The Blade's Edge

Trevor
So that is...
00:51:49
Trevor
11 damage there. And then... 11 plus 3 fire.
00:51:58
The Blade's Edge
All right, you so you swing your nadochi straight through this guy's head, and as his head separates from his body, it hits the ground, slowly turning back to a human's head as it rolls.
00:52:09
Trevor
Let's go. And then fire will leap to this werewolf right here, dealing a d81 plus my spellcasting modifier, which is 3, for 4 fire damage to that guy.
00:52:11
The Blade's Edge
Dead.
00:52:17
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:52:30
Trevor

The Blade's Edge
Okay. That's nice. um
00:52:55
The Blade's Edge

The Blade's Edge
Yeah, he's going to make he's got his spear in hand. And so he's going to make two spear attacks on you. And as he does, he says, change of plans, boys. Take him alive.
00:53:46
The Blade's Edge
I want him at the camp.
00:53:48
Vesz'rak
Oh, there's a camp.
00:53:49
The Blade's Edge
And he is going to make two spear attacks on you. So 21 to hit on the first one, 23 on the second one.
00:53:55
Vesz'rak

Alma Graves

00:54:11
Vesz'rak
Uh, down non-lethally.
00:54:12
The Blade's Edge
Okay, Dassan goes down. Dassan hits the ground in front of all of you in his armor. Kirill would then, just in a display of aggression to show that he is not backing down from this, he will move forward and get right in between Alma and Anabi.
00:54:35
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Bash you're up.
00:54:40
Kyle
Yeah, I'm just gonna um swing as hard as I can towards the werewolf that has entered my vicinity.

00:55:25
The Blade's Edge

00:55:28
Kyle

00:55:53
The Blade's Edge
Slice, slice, slice bleeding, heavily breathing, but still up.
00:56:01
Kyle
um i That's going to be my turn.
00:56:05
The Blade's Edge
Okay. It is the wolves turn. Uh, this guy is going to just slightly move over here. Um, these two bash are both going to make bite attacks on you at advantage because of pack tactics.
00:56:23
Kyle
Okay.
00:56:24
The Blade's Edge
Um, okay. That is a 10 on the first guy and a 10 on the second guy.
00:56:29
Kyle
Miss.
00:56:30
The Blade's Edge
They both rolled six and five.
00:56:31
Kyle
Miss. That's incredible.
00:56:33
The Blade's Edge
The exact same role for both.
00:56:33
Vesz'rak
Crazy. That's crazy.
00:56:35
The Blade's Edge
Could I HC? Um, this guy is going to go five, 10, 15, 20.
00:56:39
Kyle
Needed that.
00:56:41
Alma Graves
Yep.
00:56:42
Kyle
We needed a dub for the one time.
00:56:45
The Blade's Edge
And this guy is going to, um, bite attack you Alma.
00:56:51
Alma Graves
OK.
00:56:51
The Blade's Edge
He does have pack tactics as a wolf. Um, and that's a 23.
00:56:57
Alma Graves
That's going to hit me, yeah.
00:56:58
The Blade's Edge
Uh, it's going to the four plus two, um, five.
00:57:03
Alma Graves
OK.
00:57:04
The Blade's Edge
Once the piercing damage, that is this is the only wolves.
00:57:06
Alma Graves
Yep, I'll take it. Ouch.
00:57:11
The Blade's Edge
Those are the wolves turn. And now Alma it is your turn.
00:57:14
Alma Graves
um Yeah, and so having just been exploded and then maimed and then sickening radiance, I will channel my sickening radiance again. ah Pulsing the light of Lathander cannot be snuffed out so easily. um And so I am going to do a 30 foot sphere centered.
00:57:36
Alma Graves
ah Right here, rather, I guess I'm going to make it smaller than 30 feet.
00:57:39
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:57:42
Alma Graves
So I won't use the full radius if that's just easier to hit these guys.
00:57:46
The Blade's Edge
Uh, right. Well, yeah, you could put it outside and then, and then do it. Cool. That'll get you in it as well. So you'll have to roll a con safe.
00:57:53
Alma Graves
Does it affect the caster too?
00:57:55
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Anybody who's in it.
00:57:56
Alma Graves
OK. All right.
00:57:57
The Blade's Edge
It's like casting fireball in your location.
00:58:01
Alma Graves
OK.
00:58:02
The Blade's Edge
So unless you want to cast it further out left and just get these two guys.
00:58:03
Alma Graves
Then then then i'm not I'm not going to do that. I'll just cast it further out left. I always feel silly having to like draw outside this.
00:58:08
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:58:12
Alma Graves
radius, but either way, people are going to be taking shit. So I'm just going to.
00:58:16
The Blade's Edge
So are you getting it where you're in it or just these two werewolves to your left?
00:58:19
Alma Graves
Never mind, I'm going to cast hypnotic pattern instead of fireballing myself and killing myself.
00:58:24
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
00:58:27
Alma Graves
um And so the hypnotic pattern is going to hit.
00:58:32
The Blade's Edge
Go ahead and explain to everybody what that does.
00:58:33
Alma Graves
Right. Yeah, hypnotic pattern is just a like a pattern of like think of like a prism of light. um coming out and just being very entrancing like seeing a rainbow on a beautiful spring day. um And it's a 30 foot cube of which since the sun is down, I think I'm just going to aim for doing it like right here on um the big werewolf to my southwest and Carol to my southeast.
00:59:03
The Blade's Edge
Cool, go ahead and just VTT that for me so I know what it does.
00:59:06
Alma Graves
Uh-huh, uh-huh. So hypnotic pattern is a twisting pattern of colors that weaves through the air inside a 30-foot cube within range. The pattern appears for a moment and then vanishes. Each creature in the area who sees the pattern makes a whiz save. On a failed save, they become charmed for the duration. While charmed, they are incapacitated and have a speed of zero.
00:59:27
The Blade's Edge
If it takes any damage or if somebody's didn't actually take it up as super. Okay. So here is the werewolf. Uh, who was already sick. Any ratings who has a level of exhaustion, wisdom save. This guy's got a plus zero 15.
00:59:42
Alma Graves
15 is going to fail.
00:59:45
The Blade's Edge
Fail because your DC is 17.
00:59:47
Alma Graves
17, yeah.
00:59:48
The Blade's Edge
Cool. So we'll give him a purple dot there on the map so that I remember curel rolls. A natural six.
00:59:58
Alma Graves
A natural 6 is a fail.
01:00:01
The Blade's Edge
Natural six failure.
01:00:05
The Blade's Edge
OK.
01:00:06
Alma Graves
um And I just look over to ah to Bash and Anabi and I say he's ah he's incapacitated. Take out his goons.
01:00:17
Alma Graves
um And then as my bonus action, I can't cast a spell and I'm out of healing light points because I use them all.
01:00:17
The Blade's Edge
yeah
01:00:27
Alma Graves
um So that is going to be my turn.
01:00:32
The Blade's Edge
OK.
01:00:32
Alma Graves
And I'm just trusting on my martial boys.
01:00:35
The Blade's Edge
All right. DeSaun, what are you what is going through your minds and what do we see when you're you're unconscious in your minds?
01:00:39
Vesz'rak
Hello.
01:00:52
The Blade's Edge
What do we see?
01:00:54
Vesz'rak
I feel like you see Dusan falling like down, almost like down back into the Underdark. um I remember my mother, I remember my family um and I see this visage of the spider queen upon an altar and I also see myself reaching for the sun sword and trying to grasp it but not quite being able to reach it.
01:01:30
The Blade's Edge
reaching out for the Sun Sword. Back to the action. This guy runs out of the building.
01:01:37
Trevor
That was sick.
01:01:38
The Blade's Edge
um And as he does, ah is fully assumes his werewolf form. Um, and he will make two attacks.
01:01:55
The Blade's Edge
He's going to make a claw attack on you bash and he's going to make a bite attack on Alma. Uh, so the claw attack on you bash is a natural 20.
01:02:02
Kyle
or
01:02:06
Kyle
I'm gonna use a luck point to...
01:02:09
The Blade's Edge
We roll.
01:02:10
Kyle
Yeah.
01:02:11
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Uh, 12 plus four is 16.
01:02:15
Kyle
It hits.
01:02:15
The Blade's Edge
Okay. 2d4 plus two. Then have to, so five have to two, you take two points of slashing damage.
01:02:24
Kyle
Okay.
01:02:25
The Blade's Edge
Uh, and then the bite Alma at you is a 23 day.
01:02:34
The Blade's Edge
You there Alma.
01:02:36
Alma Graves
Yeah, sorry, I keep pushing my mute button on my headset and forgetting about it. um Yeah, that hits.
01:02:40
The Blade's Edge
That's right. Okay. You, uh, take a D eight plus two. Uh, you take six points of piercing damage and a con save for the.
01:02:50
Alma Graves
Okay. And I failed my const save.
01:02:56
The Blade's Edge
Okay. So the hypnotic pattern is gone. Uh, meaning these guys are no longer incapacitated. Um, and then I, in addition to that, I need another con save.
01:03:10
Alma Graves
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
01:03:10
The Blade's Edge
As the bite sinks into your neck.
01:03:11
Alma Graves
Another const save. Is a seven.
01:03:15
The Blade's Edge
Alma, you hear deep within the recesses of your mind. yeah
01:03:19
Alma Graves
Oh, shnikey.
01:03:23
The Blade's Edge
And for a brief second, as this bite hits you, you feel like you can smell better.
01:03:31
Alma Graves
Interesting.
01:03:33
The Blade's Edge
Um, okay.
01:03:34
Alma Graves
um I'm also going to use a charge of my hellish rebuke.
01:03:39
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Uh, is it a deck save?
01:03:41
Alma Graves
is a deck save for five fire damage.
01:03:44
The Blade's Edge
Okay. I don't think he has plus one, uh, nine, 10.
01:03:49
Alma Graves
Or 10 fire damage so they fail and take byfire five five from my radiant soul.
01:03:56
The Blade's Edge
Nice. Uh, he takes a full 10 from that. That is that guy's turn. Um, then these other, this guy on the other side of you bash is going to make a claw and a bite attack.
01:04:10
The Blade's Edge
A natural 20 claw.
01:04:12
Kyle
so
01:04:13
Alma Graves
rollin high Rolling hot, rolling hot.
01:04:13
Kyle
I'm going to use my last luck point.
01:04:17
The Blade's Edge
OK.
01:04:17
Kyle
I really don't want to get critted right now.
01:04:19
The Blade's Edge
A 9 for a 13.
01:04:22
Kyle

01:04:23
The Blade's Edge

01:04:23
Trevor

01:04:27
Kyle
Missed.
01:04:31
The Blade's Edge
Um, Alma, this guy to your Northeast, this werewolf is going to come up to you and he is going to attempt to do what the other guy did, which is first, uh, tackle grapple you to the ground.
01:04:43
The Blade's Edge
So I need an athletics check from you.
01:04:44
Alma Graves
Okay. Athletic check coming out. This is my bread and butter. It's my specialty. It's a seven.
01:04:49
The Blade's Edge
He's got a plus two. I roll the five for seven. I swear to God, it's the second time we're going to roll off.
01:04:53
Kyle
Oh my god.
01:04:53
Alma Graves
Unreal. This is, this is power.
01:04:55
Trevor
Damn.
01:04:57
The Blade's Edge
All right.
01:04:57
Alma Graves
Uh, that's a 14.
01:04:59
The Blade's Edge
I roll the journey 20 this time.
01:05:01
Alma Graves
Oh, you bastard.
01:05:03
The Blade's Edge
All right, so he this guy tackles you to the ground and as he you are prone on the ground, he then rears back up and we'll take a claw attack at advantage.
01:05:11
Alma Graves
Okay.
01:05:13
The Blade's Edge
Non-lethal. That's an 18 plus four is 22.
01:05:16
Alma Graves

01:05:18
The Blade's Edge

01:05:26
Alma Graves
Okay.
01:05:27
The Blade's Edge
10 points of slashing. um We're going to go ahead and call this guy, since it was on his turn, he'll miss this one turn because of the incapacity that he was.
01:05:40
The Blade's Edge
Um, and then this guy, a knobby down here on you is going to attack you twice.
01:05:44
Trevor

01:05:46
The Blade's Edge

The Blade's Edge
Miss miss Swiss miss. Um, okay. That's all of them. I knobby you're up.
01:05:58
Trevor
Nice.
01:06:06
Trevor
All right. I think I'm going to
01:06:13
The Blade's Edge
Surrender now and I'll take you to camp.
01:06:26
Trevor
um I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna cast Spirit Shroud with my bonus action.
01:06:36
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
01:06:37
Trevor
um
01:06:37
The Blade's Edge
Remind us what that does.
01:06:41
Trevor
Yeah, it lets me add a D8 of radiant damage to any attack roll that lands within 10 feet of me, I think.
01:06:52
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
01:06:55
Trevor
Um, so I'm going to, that's my bonus action. I'm going to have, Oh, fuck it. I'm going to get weird and squirrely with this first one. Oh yeah. Fuck it. I'm going to have the, and have my owl swoop down and give me help on, I'm just going to place him here for a second. Uh, this one to its left and I'm going to reach the node Dachi. I'm going to use a property.
01:07:27
Trevor
on this, you may try to extend your reach to 10 feet ah with this thin long blade. Upon rolling a natural one in this scenario, you dent and damage the delicate rare material and it goes down.
01:07:38
Trevor
So right now it's a D8 if, yeah, the damage dice would go down to a D6.
01:07:39
The Blade's Edge
In damage dice.
01:07:43
Trevor
um If I crit while using the feature, I can increase the damage dice for the attack to a d10. um so i'm
01:07:52
The Blade's Edge
Risk and reward.
01:07:54
Trevor
yeah Yeah, so I'm going to use my familiar to grant me advantage on the first attack against this wolf I'm going to train, or the werewolf I'm going to try and reach through the wolves to this guy with a green flame blade.
01:08:06
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Over their heads.
01:08:13
Trevor
18?
01:08:14
The Blade's Edge
18 hits.
01:08:15
Trevor
Okay, nice.
01:08:16
The Blade's Edge
So your D8 becomes a D10 for this damage.
01:08:16
Trevor
um
01:08:19
Trevor
um No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:08:21
The Blade's Edge
Oh no, ill only be nat 20. That's right. But you are able to reach 10 feet.
01:08:25
Trevor
Okay, so that will be on this guy. That's seven plus ah two D8. One of these D8s, fire, and one of them is radiant.
01:08:36
Trevor
ah Two D8s for extra nine damage.
01:08:36
The Blade's Edge
nice Nice. He takes all that.
01:08:42
Trevor
And then fire I'm gonna have the fire jump off of that wolf to Actually have either of these wolves been hit already No, okay, then what about the one above?
01:08:53
The Blade's Edge
No.
01:08:57
The Blade's Edge
I don't think you know, because you haven't seen that you were inside for a bit of it.
01:09:00
Trevor
Oh Yeah, that's fair Yeah, I'll have it jump to the one just south of it D8
01:09:02
The Blade's Edge
Yeah.
01:09:06
The Blade's Edge
Cool.
01:09:09
Trevor
and that will be one plus my modifier three, so four fire damage to that.
01:09:14
The Blade's Edge
Nice. Green flame leaping everywhere.
01:09:19
Trevor
And let me double check something.
01:09:19
Vesz'rak
Green flame.
01:09:21
Trevor
Any attack you make.
01:09:21
The Blade's Edge
Green flame.
01:09:24
Trevor
I've got a question. So the wording on this is, until the spell ends, any attack you make make deals a D8 extra damage when you hit a creature within 10 feet of you.
01:09:35
Trevor
Does that green flame technically count at like,
01:09:39
The Blade's Edge
I think it's an attack roll, I would say.
01:09:42
Trevor
Okay, okay, cool.
01:09:43
The Blade's Edge
Yeah.
01:09:44
Trevor
um And then with my next attack, I'm going to just swing at, oh yeah, the owl's gonna keep flying past and fly up into the air this direction.
01:09:55
The Blade's Edge
Okay. He, he would need to get further away from the building. He's too close.
01:09:59
Trevor
Oh, right, right, right, right, right, sorry.
01:10:00
The Blade's Edge
Yeah.
01:10:01
Trevor
Then this direction.
01:10:03
The Blade's Edge
Cool.
01:10:04
Trevor
um
01:10:07
Trevor
And then I will swing at this, actually I'll swing at the, The werewolf right, actually, no, this guy, that ah the wolf right here that I just hit with the fire.
01:10:19
Trevor
I'll try and hit that guy.
01:10:19
The Blade's Edge
Cool. Swing away.
01:10:23
Trevor
Oh, nat 20.
01:10:25
The Blade's Edge
Natural 20 hits this wolf. Go ahead and roll damage for funds because I think you're going to put this wolf down.
01:10:31
Trevor
That's 12 plus two d8 plus 13, little 25.
01:10:33
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, that's. Yeah, that'll do it. um Another from a ah wolf as it goes down under the ah slicing and dicing of the Nodachi.
01:10:49
The Blade's Edge
um
01:10:51
The Blade's Edge
Deadzo.
01:10:55
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
01:10:58
Trevor
That'll be my turn.
01:11:00
The Blade's Edge
Nice eight wolves down and a werewolf at the top of the third round. Um, Akira will story on a bitch, uh, looks at you bash and at you and not be with Alma on the ground in front of him and says, don't make me make an example out of one of you.
01:11:22
The Blade's Edge
It's going to take his first attack on Alma at advantage.
01:11:28
Alma Graves
No.
01:11:30
The Blade's Edge
This is 16.
01:11:31
Trevor
oh power No.
01:11:31
Alma Graves
No.
01:11:32
Trevor
Power word no.
01:11:34
Alma Graves
16, yeah, that's gonna hit.
01:11:37
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Uh, 10 points of damage.
01:11:39
Alma Graves
10 points of damage, Alma goes down.
01:11:42
The Blade's Edge
All right. Alma goes down and Kirill holds the spear above Alma and says, what's it going to be? Want me to make an example? Are you coming with me?
01:11:59
The Blade's Edge
He's looking at you, Bash, and Anabi.
01:11:59
Kyle
Is he talking to me? Oh, he's talking to me. I thought he was talking to Alma.
01:12:02
Alma Graves
You guys are the only ones up.
01:12:03
The Blade's Edge
You're the only ones up. Dassan's down, unconscious. Alma is right now, that that was non-lethal, unconscious, but he's holding the spear above her, saying, what's it going to be?
01:12:12
Alma Graves
Test me.
01:12:14
The Blade's Edge
I'm going to make an example. Put the weapons down and come with us.
01:12:20
Trevor
Uh, I would be, I'd be looking at, um, uh, and decide to see if I can be, if, if they're conscious enough at all to be hearing this and to be, okay.
01:12:20
The Blade's Edge
Or she gets it.
01:12:29
The Blade's Edge
They're not, they're knocked unconscious. They're not making death saves. They have been knocked unconscious.
01:12:33
Trevor
I look at bash.
01:12:38
Kyle
ah There's just a ah look of unknowing on my face. I'm surrounded by four bitches right now. I was gonna say, what what do you want from us? It doesn't have to be like this. What do you want from us?
01:13:00
The Blade's Edge
Toss the weapons down. Tie you up and bring you to camp, and we'll talk.
01:13:06
Kyle
We can talk right here. Here's fun.
01:13:09
The Blade's Edge
Here's fine. You got it. Takes an attack on Alma on the ground.
01:13:12
Vesz'rak
Oh.
01:13:16
Alma Graves
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:13:17
The Blade's Edge
That's ah as a 19 to hit. Alma gets two failed death saves.
01:13:20
Alma Graves
Hell yeah. ah Let me mark this down.
01:13:22
Kyle
Alright, alright, alright.
01:13:24
Alma Graves
Fail, fail.
Combat Strategies and Survival Decisions
01:13:29
The Blade's Edge
Bash is two.
01:13:29
Kyle
Just leave her alive.
01:13:33
The Blade's Edge
Um, I'll let for the wibbly wildly of this battle. I will let it's your turn bash. You in and out. You can decide what you want to do. Um.
01:13:43
Trevor
I Don't I don't know I i would be I'm down to fucking slug it out. Whatever. He just he doesn't want to talk right here. You know, fuck it
01:13:52
Kyle
How hurt is he?
01:13:56
The Blade's Edge
ah Not bloodied. But three of the werewolves are two of them aren't. The other two wolves around you have not been touched. Two wolves at full health, one werewolf at full health. Three werewolves are bloodied. One's taken damage, but it's not bloodied. He's taken, he's taken significant amount of damage, but he's not bloodied either.
01:14:18
Kyle
Do we know how much damage he's taken?
01:14:18
The Blade's Edge
And when it gets to almost, and when it gets to almost turn show roll a death save.
01:14:19
Vesz'rak
they're
01:14:23
Vesz'rak
There's two wolves inside of you. and
01:14:25
Trevor
yeah
01:14:27
Alma Graves
Things could have taken a turn if that were the case.
01:14:31
Kyle
Is it an action to stabilize someone? Is it a bonus action?
01:14:35
The Blade's Edge
It is an action. You'd make a medicine check and the DC is 10.
01:14:42
The Blade's Edge
You'd also to get over there. If you don't, if you keep your weapon and this, and this is we're going, we're slugging it out to get over there. You get two opportunity to attacks on you.
01:14:50
Kyle
Yup.
01:15:00
Alma Graves
Follow your heart, my guy.
01:15:02
Kyle
Dude, my, I, dude. Here's my options right now. I, here's how this would play out. I would take two opportunity attacks. I would gamble Alma succeeding on her death save throw. I would take all three attacks at Kirill.
01:15:29
Kyle
Probably probably reckless because I would want to bank on a natural 20 absolutely rocking his shit.
01:15:39
Kyle
um
01:15:43
Kyle
And then that's my turn. And if he doesn't if he doesn't die, then like it where we're we're fucked.
01:15:48
The Blade's Edge
Even if he, even if he does die, almost still makes the death save. So she's gambled either way.
01:15:58
Kyle
And not because fucking last in the turn order. So he can't just run over and stabilize her.
01:16:09
The Blade's Edge
Right. Unless you guys agree to what he says, in which case you could walk over there and stabilize her without opportunity tax.
01:16:15
Kyle
Yeah.
01:16:18
The Blade's Edge
but you'd be captured.
01:16:23
Alma Graves
All the all the onus is on bash bloodsinger. What will he do?
01:16:28
Vesz'rak
Follow your heart, King.
01:16:29
Alma Graves
All your heart, King.
01:16:32
Kyle
Dude, if I, but if I go over there, you're gonna fucking die!
01:16:36
Alma Graves
Don't worry about it, man. This is the game. We're in it now. I ain't afraid of dying. I got huge balls.
01:16:57
Alma Graves
You're having one of those brain blast moments where every single decision is flashing through your eyes, and but each turn is what, six six seconds, 10 seconds?
01:17:02
Kyle
and It is. Yeah, it is.
01:17:04
The Blade's Edge
Yeah.
01:17:05
Kyle
um And Abhi, what's your health at?
01:17:09
Trevor
Uh, somewhere in the middle.
01:17:12
Kyle
Somewhere in the middle.
01:17:13
The Blade's Edge
Very Steve of you. Yeah, that's not it's not my foil, but I'm not on death story either.
01:17:14
Alma Graves
Yeah, very Steve of you.
01:17:15
Vesz'rak
God dang it.
01:17:15
Trevor
I've been taking notes.
01:17:21
Trevor
Yeah.
01:17:21
Alma Graves
Yeah.
01:17:22
Trevor
ah Legitimately, it's it's almost right down the middle. um Right, yeah.
01:17:27
The Blade's Edge
Right, so it's not bad.
01:17:27
Trevor
Half health.
01:17:28
Vesz'rak
Yeah, praise Steve.
01:17:28
The Blade's Edge
It's not good.
01:17:29
Vesz'rak
Yeah, praise Steve.
01:17:30
The Blade's Edge
Right.
01:17:30
Trevor
Yeah, yeah.
01:17:31
Trevor
It's literally perfectly steep right now.
01:17:33
Vesz'rak
Hey, Trev, how's Steve the owl doing, by the way?
01:17:36
Trevor
Yeah, he's Alan.
01:17:37
Vesz'rak
No, OK.
01:17:37
Trevor
He's he's been chillin' at one HP this whole time. That's that's just his...
01:17:40
Vesz'rak
Yeah. He's had better days, but he's also had worse days.
01:17:43
Trevor
yeah yeah this is Yeah!
01:17:44
The Blade's Edge
I think this is his his first day, so.
01:17:46
Alma Graves
Yeah, this is first day on the job.
01:17:47
Trevor
That way that's actually true, yeah.
01:17:48
Alma Graves
What the fuck?
01:17:50
Vesz'rak
but
01:17:51
Trevor
What the fuck?
01:17:51
Alma Graves
What the fuck is happening?
01:17:53
Trevor
That's so funny.
01:17:54
Alma Graves
Is it like this every time?
01:17:55
Kyle
Uh, first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to walk.
01:17:57
Trevor
Yeah, existence sucks, dude.
01:18:02
The Blade's Edge
OK.
01:18:04
Kyle
We're still an initiative.
01:18:06
The Blade's Edge
So on initiative. shift
01:18:09
Kyle
I'm going to walk here and I'm going to incur those opportunity attacks.
01:18:13
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
01:18:13
Vesz'rak
Oh boy, here we go.
01:18:14
The Blade's Edge
So here's the Wolf with two bites or it's, it's just a bite at advantage. Uh, 18 to hit two to four plus two halves is nine half to four.
01:18:20
Kyle
It's.
01:18:25
Kyle
Yep.
01:18:26
The Blade's Edge
What's your HBO?
01:18:28
Kyle
29.
01:18:29
The Blade's Edge
Okay, cool. Then you're not, you're not, you're not in, you're not in danger of dying here from this swipe.
01:18:32
Trevor
fucking tank.
01:18:33
Kyle
Correct, correct, correct.
01:18:34
The Blade's Edge
Not at advantage. Uh, only an 11 miss.
01:18:40
Kyle
God, why did it have to be ambiguous where it could just like go either way, man?
01:18:42
Alma Graves
oh
01:18:46
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. I took a little bit of damage, you four damage and then ah a claw missed you.
01:18:57
Kyle
Is it an action to
01:18:57
The Blade's Edge
What's it going to be?
01:19:00
The Blade's Edge
Yeah.
01:19:03
The Blade's Edge
Stabilize somebody.
01:19:05
Alma Graves
Yeah, man.
01:19:05
The Blade's Edge
Yes.
01:19:06
Trevor
ah
01:19:06
The Blade's Edge
It's a medicine check DC 10.
01:19:11
Alma Graves
And if i if you fail to stabilize somebody, isn't it a failed death save?
01:19:14
The Blade's Edge
No, no, no, no.
01:19:16
Alma Graves
No.
01:19:18
Trevor
Oh shit, oh fuck, oh oh my god, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
01:19:18
The Blade's Edge
It's a waste. It's a waste of a it's a waste of an action, I think.
01:19:20
Alma Graves
Yeah. ah yeah
01:19:23
Vesz'rak
yeah
01:19:23
Trevor
There's blood everywhere.
01:19:24
The Blade's Edge
If we were playing a very, very although this is very much closer to rules, this is much closer to raw than we normally play in our home game.
01:19:30
Alma Graves
Grimdark, yeah.
01:19:34
The Blade's Edge
The rules is written, but I'm not we're not going full gritty, nitty gritty, which is, yeah, if he rolled like a nat one, he'd kill you or something.
01:19:39
Alma Graves
Unfun mode, yeah.
01:19:43
Kyle
Is it just an attack to, when, when I attack someone that is prone, is it an auto crit?
01:19:51
The Blade's Edge
No. If you attack somebody who's prone, who's unconscious and you hit them, it's an auto grip. So you could kill Alma. That's what you want to do.
01:20:01
Alma Graves
Yeah, hell yeah.
01:20:02
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. If you attacked Alma, you'd attack an advantage.
01:20:03
Kyle
I could do that.
01:20:04
The Blade's Edge
And if you hit, it'd be a crit, which is just failed.
01:20:04
Kyle
Ah, hidden option three.
01:20:06
Alma Graves
Yeah, you know what? Go for it, okay? Just go for it.
01:20:10
Vesz'rak
even i'm lost i have no idea what doing kind
01:20:10
The Blade's Edge
Now, real. That'd be a real. I was really confused, Carol.
01:20:18
Vesz'rak
ah sir
01:20:18
The Blade's Edge
Wait, what? I thought I held the cards.
01:20:18
Alma Graves
Yeah.
01:20:21
Alma Graves
No, I'll kill her.
01:20:22
Vesz'rak
ah
01:20:23
Alma Graves
No one kills her but me.
01:20:23
Vesz'rak
ah yeah
01:20:26
The Blade's Edge
All right, what are you doing?
01:20:28
Kyle
I know. Yeah, I'm sorry. um
01:20:29
The Blade's Edge
Time to decide.
01:20:37
Kyle
I'm gonna put my axe on my back. And I'm going to run over to Alma and stabilizer.
01:20:47
The Blade's Edge
OK.
Bash's Reckless Engagement and Alma's Fate
01:20:48
Kyle
Let's say all right. All right.
01:20:51
The Blade's Edge
So i the way I'm going to rule this, though. Is is if we're an initiative, you're making a check. Straight check. If if a knobby is also putting his weapons away, you'll make it an advantage because there's nobody trying to stop you or not. We're not fighting anymore.
01:21:17
The Blade's Edge
There'd be there'd be manacles being put on your back and she would be stabilized. Whereas if we're still an initiative, If it's a get her back up, we're fighting, we're swinging. You're, you're rolling a medicine check, which is it.
01:21:34
Trevor
roll a deception check yeah, fuck yeah, let's do yeah
01:21:39
Kyle
Is this how is this how we want to to go out?
01:21:42
Alma Graves
Hey man, 100% do do do whatever. This is how it goes.
01:21:54
Kyle
I'm raging, dude. I'm raging. I'm fucking pissed. I wouldn't just be like no.
01:22:00
Kyle
I'm pissed off, bro.
01:22:02
Alma Graves
Yeah, you are.
01:22:03
The Blade's Edge
Alright.
01:22:04
Vesz'rak
He's crashing out.
01:22:04
Kyle
I'm swinging on him.
01:22:05
The Blade's Edge
Okay.
01:22:06
Trevor

01:22:07
The Blade's Edge

The Blade's Edge
Alright.

Vesz'rak
Kyle Gerard went from a ranger.
01:22:16
Kyle
You fucking think I would just stand down? Like, are you kidding me?
01:22:18
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Alright, roll your attack like 20 minutes later.
01:22:23
Vesz'rak

01:23:24
Kyle
Fucking bitch.
01:23:29
The Blade's Edge
You sink your ax into him three times. Blood
Defeating Kirill: Victory and Loss
01:23:32
The Blade's Edge
is coming out of him everywhere, matting the fur on him, but he's still up.
01:23:38
Alma Graves
Oh shit.
01:23:39
The Blade's Edge
He's bloody now.
01:23:39
Trevor
well What a fucking round.
01:23:40
The Blade's Edge
He was bloody probably after the first hit, but he's still up.
01:23:40
Alma Graves
hey
01:23:43
Alma Graves
I've got my GM role clicked. I've got my finger on the D20.
01:23:47
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Well, before that, that then your turn bash.
01:23:53
Kyle
Yes.
01:23:54
The Blade's Edge
All right. His wolves are both going to come and make bite attacks at you at advantage, which they had anyway.
01:24:06
The Blade's Edge
Uh, 15 and a 23.
01:24:07
Kyle
Uh, 15 hit. They both
01:24:14
The Blade's Edge
Okay. For a total of 15 have seven.
01:24:18
Vesz'rak
Okay.
01:24:18
The Blade's Edge
That's both together on you bash. You take seven points damage. but
01:24:24
The Blade's Edge
All right. So Kyle, the graves family, maybe it was destined from the name of the family itself.
01:24:27
Alma Graves
Yeah. Yes, sir.
01:24:37
The Blade's Edge
The fact that your father was a coffin maker, that your family would be cursed with this death with this. And I think what we have decided on the pod is I think we're rolling the the D twenties out in the open.
01:24:54
Alma Graves
Oh, are we OK?
01:24:56
The Blade's Edge
Because I think we're going to tell the the audience so that they're in on what you roll.
01:24:56
Alma Graves
Well.
01:25:01
The Blade's Edge
Just got two fails. Anything lower than a 10. Alma Graves is dead. Anything higher than a 10. Got another round.
01:25:11

01:30:08
The Blade's Edge
He falls.
01:30:12
The Blade's Edge
werewolf teeth protruding from his bottom jaw as he hits the ground.
01:30:20
Trevor
Uh, and I want to, as he drops, I want to look directly across. I'm going to get dark and weird as fuck for a second. I'm going to look at this, uh, werewolf across, like as his body drops in this werewolf comes into view, I want to look straight at him and like lick the blood off of the blade and try and intimidate that wolf or whoever sees that to maybe, but to back off a little bit, you know,
01:30:44
Vesz'rak
It's kinda hot.
01:30:47
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, I think they got numbers on you, but yeah, Rowan intimidation.
01:30:51
Trevor
Yeah, that's fine.
01:30:52
The Blade's Edge
We'll see. i'll I'll interpret that in a certain way. There was only, yeah, there was only maybe the three of them who were, but you got one guy at full health and you got one guy who's only taken one hit.
01:30:57
Trevor
Ooh, two.
01:31:00
Kyle
They're like, ah.
01:31:00
Trevor
I choke and cut myself on the blip.
01:31:05
Vesz'rak
You give yourself a paper cut on your tongue.
01:31:06
Trevor
Yeah, Joe.
01:31:06
The Blade's Edge
So.
01:31:07
Trevor
Yeah, ow, fucking Jesus.
01:31:11
The Blade's Edge
Bash in your rage, you see ah both Alma and Kirill lose their lives in succession.
01:31:11
Trevor
That's a sharp, sharp sword.
01:31:21
The Blade's Edge
What do you do?
01:31:23
Kyle
Are the werewolves still attacking us?
01:31:27
The Blade's Edge
Yeah.
01:31:33
Kyle
I raise my axe above my head and I say, the rest of you stand down unless you want to end up like your leader.
01:31:42
The Blade's Edge
Uh, I think the two intimidation from an hobby and the fact that they got the numbers, uh, you can make an intimidation check, but I'll say this is going to be a disadvantage.
01:31:48
Kyle
yeah
01:31:54
Kyle
That's fine. Talking about bash, uh, four natural twenties in a row, bloodsinger.
01:32:00
Vesz'rak
I'm staying back up. I'm staying up.
01:32:04
Kyle
This intimidation?
01:32:05
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Disadvantage.
01:32:09
Kyle
There's one.
01:32:09
Vesz'rak
Oh!
01:32:10
The Blade's Edge
Can you do any it again?
01:32:11
Kyle
There's one Brian.
01:32:12
Trevor
Oh my god.
01:32:13
Vesz'rak
Brian!
01:32:14
The Blade's Edge
Can you do it again? Natural 20 on the first roll, but disadvantage to a.
01:32:20
Kyle
Oh, it was a 19 bro, it was a 19.
01:32:21
Trevor
Oh shit.
01:32:21
Vesz'rak
Oh my god!
01:32:22
The Blade's Edge
I've seen.
01:32:24
Trevor
That's pretty fucking nuts, holy.
01:32:26
Alma Graves
Unreal.
01:32:27
The Blade's Edge
Um.
01:32:31
Trevor
King of back to back wild rolls, this campaign.
01:32:36
The Blade's Edge
OK, so we'll we'll do something a little a little narrative narrative narratively here. um
01:32:50
The Blade's Edge
OK.
01:33:01
The Blade's Edge
um
01:33:11
The Blade's Edge
Okay. So narratively, if they move, if they go to leave, are you taking an opportunity attack or is it not because that'll just negate the intimidation.
01:33:20
Alma Graves
Ha ha ha.
01:33:20
Trevor
No, I mean if they're trying to dip, I'll let them dip for sure.
01:33:24
The Blade's Edge
Okay. So we're going to do a little narrative. A narrative ending here. As the werewolves make a business decision, look at each other and leave the tower.
01:33:41
The Blade's Edge
Wolves in tow,
01:33:44
The Blade's Edge
the pack of Kirill's werewolves, five remaining, two wolves taking off, leaving an unconscious Dassan, a dead Alma, and a wounded Bash and a Nabi. As the rain falls, eventually, sometime later,
01:34:09
The Blade's Edge
you hear the sound of the elevator moving.
01:34:16
The Blade's Edge
And coming out the front door, you see two people shedding the disen. I think
New Allies and Alma's Potential Revival
01:34:30
The Blade's Edge
you're up at this point. I think would you all maybe just be kind of grieving
01:34:36
Kyle
Yeah, I'll just be sitting on the ground next to Alma, just apologizing.
01:34:44
Vesz'rak
Yevgeny's gonna be so upset.
01:34:46
Alma Graves
Evgeny is going to be beyond himself.
01:34:48
Trevor
oh no
01:34:50
Alma Graves
He's going to kill these he's going to kill these werewolves by himself.
01:34:53
Vesz'rak

01:35:33
Alma Graves
An extremely popped collar.
01:35:36
The Blade's Edge
Pop collar to sawn. You recognize this woman. um And as she introduces herself to you all as Desdrelda Davenir.
01:35:49
The Blade's Edge
You know that this is the relative of Esmeralda, who you once met, Vesrak, at when you back when you were Vesrak.
01:35:54
Alma Graves
Oh shit.
01:36:02
The Blade's Edge
As they pile forth, they quickly explain their subterranean cave underneath the elevator goes down that
01:36:13
Alma Graves
Oh no.
01:36:18
The Blade's Edge
They couldn't, they don't hear what was going on. They put these protections to ward off intruders. As you guys tell them what happened, both van Richten and des draw the look at each other. And then Rickton says, I can, I have found a way to help people.
01:36:50
The Blade's Edge
in Barovia.
01:36:54
The Blade's Edge
Me and Desdralda have uncovered something. It is not ideal, but if you wish to save your friend, I have a way.
01:37:19
The Blade's Edge
But know before we do this that her soul will be tied and stuck in Barovia forever.
01:37:41
The Blade's Edge
Uh, Dez Drelda says, uh, she pulls a scroll that you see is speak with dead. And she says, before we do it, you can ask her.
01:37:48
Trevor
Oh nice. Yeah, perfect.
01:37:53
The Blade's Edge
