Episode Introduction & Language Warning

00:00:28
Speaker
Hello, welcome to this week's episode of The Fellowship of the Tabletop. My name is Mark, I am your DM for this live play by the D&D fucking... Sorry. Ah, it's doing really well. This podcast does come with a pair and a blue advisory notice. It does now. Post.
00:00:45
Speaker
Swear. Well, we swear a lot. I absolutely want a lot. Yeah, it's fine. Thank you for joining us. Hi. I have a polo in the top of my mouth and I'm keeping it out of the way whilst I do this entry. Other minty treats are available. Thank you. And one nice little BBC reference. Very nice. So, BBC is unreal. We've got a couple of people that you can probably hear. We have Ian Dibley's Drago. What is up? We've got Danny, who plays Claude. Danny of the BBC. And we also have Will, who plays Elphir.
00:01:12
Speaker
You can't be patient. Excelsior. Oh, change that. Don't do that. Who the fuck do you think you are? Who are you? Excelsior. Who are you? No, you cannot take that man's word. Get out.
00:01:26
Speaker
And she gave that word. How dare you. Shader falls off a cliff and dies. Sorry mate. Say in Excelsior on the way down. Yeah, you can re-roll a newt. Danny gets to do a recap of what we've done last session. He made lots of notes though.

Session Recap: Beggars Hall & Undead

00:01:42
Speaker
I did make some notes. Very good. So it started with us awaking in the Beggars Hall in Clay Peak to some eggs.
00:01:50
Speaker
which Elphir wanted to assist in the cooking of but regrettably didn't partake in the town ritual of removing his clothes and blessing the eggs so we had un-blessed eggs from Elphir's point of view but the townkeep there sorry the barkeep the name Brandon
00:02:11
Speaker
We head out of town and we came across a heretic, perhaps, a... what are they called? There's people who speak in public. Preacher. Preacher. Saying that we should befriend the undead and that Eraqus had given him a vision to turn these people into our allies. Elthir got bored of the ranting and dropped kicked him into a well. Dro... Drago interrogated him, found out more, learnt that timelines didn't quite meet. He got a vision just before you

Adventures Begin: Quests & Potions

00:02:40
Speaker
Now we headed up to the Guildhall, Elthea went to the Citadel to formally accept the quest of saving Captain Drulanis from the swamp. In the Guildhall, Drago purchased, well, learn more about stock magics.
00:02:55
Speaker
and purchased himself a little potion from Burrito, that's not right, Burrito, Burrito, Burrito, Burrito, Burrito, who is Burrito now mate. Unicorn's Arsenal, the sofa store of the year award contender. After that we learn we have to go to an inside keep within the swamp,
00:03:18
Speaker
I, Claude found out that there was someone else of the Hailstone Academy staying in town. So we went to go chat to him, find out he was about, he was drunk. He was very scared. So I removed his tabard and sort of metaphorically kicked him out of the academy myself. And that's where we ended in taking, thinking about taking some more rest, thinking about heading out.
00:03:50
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. So the sun is low in the sky by this point. As we walk out of town, you can see smoke plumes starting

Journey to the Swamp

00:03:58
Speaker
up. Follow a long path that seems to curve up a small hill off to the side of it. You can see the coast from here. You can't quite see the islands of Osrin from where you currently are, but it's been quite a nice day all in all. You continue walking through, and you can see quite clearly in front of you now the beginnings of the storm. The ground starts to get slightly marshier, squelchier.
00:04:24
Speaker
start of the swamp. You get to that point though pretty much and I believe this is where you wanted to call it for the... I think we should count here before we head further into the swamps. Agreed. I'm very sleepy. Yeah you can't really seem to locate anywhere but the grind luckily isn't quite stodgy enough for it to be a problem you can just set up your tents then and there.
00:04:52
Speaker
I have a bedroll, but I'm not sure. Yeah, I've got a bedroll. We've never had tents. I think we're on bedrolls and we're hoping for, of course you haven't, why did I think that? On bedrolls and we're hoping for good weather, I think.
00:05:05
Speaker
We did. Oh, did we take a horse and walk? And we walked. And we walked, yeah. Talia grabs a nearby log that's drenched wet through, but she opens up her tome and casts bonfire on it and has managed to heat through and start a small fire that she places in the middle of the tent. Oh, luckily. I mean, if you see tent, it was going to rain that night and you're on 11, so hopefully it didn't. The night passes. However,
00:05:29
Speaker
no one again sleeps particularly well. Again, we get the benefits of a long rest, similar to the last night's rest, but there's something just replaying in all your minds, and it's something different. It could be something different from the night before, it's up to you what it is, it doesn't really matter what it is from my point of view, but it's something, it just irritates your sleep ever so slightly. And this has been almost a consistent thing since you've landed on the mainland, really. At least sleep is broken in some way, shape or form.
00:05:59
Speaker
The sun rises, it's a cloudy start to the day. Let's say, for our argument's sake, everyone...

Into the Swamp: Strange Trees & Tower

00:06:04
Speaker
What? It was like a broadcast then. It's a cloudy start to the day here in Clavey. North-East New England. It's coming in over the Bazement Swamp. Very Truman Show. Moving through to Wednesday, this is the Thursday afternoon during our morning commute. Do we get the shipping forecast? The Aerocast, the...
00:06:22
Speaker
The Sleetguard shipping forecast. Some of that error cast, that word, as a cast, new cast. Yeah, it's a great, it gets stuck in it one side. Something to be used there. Yes, and I feel like if we did have a shipping forecast, Claude would do the shipping forecast. Coming in at 6.14 is the... Oh, it's going too quick. Danny's never heard the shipping forecast, clearly. Isn't it like the sports were shamed up? Portsmouth turned over. Four, maybe five.
00:06:50
Speaker
Yeah. Mostly good. Possible gale. Yeah. Well, how can you possibly be a gale store, won't you? But there are lots of lists, there's a whole book about listening to that. I can't listen to it when I'm driving because I feel like I'm a horseshoe. Anyway, so we wake up, it's a gale horse, possibly it looks, as you wake up tonight. It's fine, it's just a bit cloudy as we all kind of stir to. We can imagine we've probably eaten some supplies and can probably start cracking on straight into, there's not much to tidy up really because we didn't make much of a camp particularly, it was just to get our heads down. What do you want to do?
00:07:20
Speaker
everyone ready. So Claude do you know where this urnside keep is in the swamps? I don't know. I've been through the swamps but I don't remember going to a keep. Can we see far into the swamps or is it is it just swamp lander is there like shrubs and trees and that lot of trees? There's a lot of trees really it's almost like it's like forest thick with
00:07:46
Speaker
These trees are kind of swampy trees that kind of grow out in strange angles, kind of weeping willow style, kind of low hanging. Lots of very small leaves that kind of fill the air. You can walk through them quite easily. They're not closely packed in together, but they obscure sight slightly. I wish to levitate.
00:08:11
Speaker
As you rise up and up and up right into the very centre of the swamp, you do see sticking out of the ground a tower that's not perfectly straight to Pisa-esque and slightly at a bit of an angle and looks rather dilapidated. Do I recognise it? It's not like the one we saw in the other world.
00:08:29
Speaker
No, another one would dry go. Okay, that's fine. I'll just need to check. It's just a dilapidated tower that happens to be on it, honestly. You can see that peeking out of the top. Looks like the tower's that way. How do you do that? And I get to play the boots and float as well, and I have some boots that allow you to float. Yeah, my boots let me float. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Do you do that? No. Do you do that? No. What can you do? You'll find out.
00:08:58
Speaker
He can turn into a bat. Damn it, Drago! That spoiled a surprise. Well, as I was going to surprise you, I'll fuck you up. And I walk into the swamp. I follow Drago. Watch out, there's a bit of water in the swamp. Can I run just a gig of an order of... I'm not going to roll, but I'll do an order of walking. This is a Drago's first, followed by... Healthier. I'll be the best.
00:09:30
Speaker
Where's the RP there? Get in front of me, boy. I think I might be quite older than you. I'm a dwarf, you can't tell that what I am. I've met a dwarf once. He's quite short. They're getting quite far ahead. I think we should probably catch up.
00:09:52
Speaker
And the only girl in the building! What?! I feel really bad for her. Fucking new guy and then she walks off standing by walking behind Elphin. She rolls up and tugs Elphin's jacket and kind of plugs back and says that you can't really hear what she says basically. Elphin non fucking mouth. And then she carries on kind of walking and muttering to herself. As our lead walker, Drago, could you give me a survival? Sorry guys.
00:10:19
Speaker
And on proficient 19. Okay, so as you walk in, you're clear on the path that Elfie has given you and you manage to keep us on a, there's no direct path, that's the thing here, there's no path through. So you're just making your way through the trees. Sometimes you come across big pools of water and to walk around, you manage to pick the right section to change and walk on and keep yourselves working straight. And the rest of the group follows in behind them.
00:10:44
Speaker
Okay, there's one distinctly large pool that you need to traverse and you take a kind of a right route round, a kind of eastern route round this, it's probably about 50 meters, sorry, 50 feet in every direction down there. So you're working your way around that.
00:11:00
Speaker
And you feel that you've reached the crest of this lake and you start moving further in through the thickets of this swamp. It's damp, it's dense, the air's kind of thick and sticky. Though around and about in Sleepguard it's relatively cool, the water, the rain keeps it nice and cool.
00:11:19
Speaker
Swamp, for some reason, there is no air. The trees seem to act as a canopy that engulfs and keeps the air in. It's like the warmth comes almost from the ground ever so slightly, though. Putting your hand near the ground, you can't feel any temperature. It feels close and kind of sticky. And this is followed by the creeks and crickets you'd expect. And the swamp, the odd flies and mosquitoes that seem to bug you. Constantly pestering you.

Combat Begins: Book Warning & Tree Attack

00:11:41
Speaker
Hey, bug you. Constantly pestering you as you continue to walk in. Up ahead. Yes, sorry. Sorry. As we're approaching, could I use eyes that look great?
00:11:50
Speaker
We're not quite there. You don't need to see if there's any sign of anything. Yeah, absolutely. Describe for us what the eyes of the grave do. So the eyes go completely white and I know the location of any undead within 60 feet. Can you still see out of your eyes as you do that?
00:12:10
Speaker
Yeah, that's more of an RP thing. Yeah, it's up to you then. Yeah, yeah, it's like a ping, I guess. Yeah, okay, so it's, oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. No, no, no, this is Tyler's not gonna look back at you, shade, I can't see you, the other two are looking ahead anyway. No one really notices you as your eyes kind of seem to roll back into their heads, and you shut this white glaze over your eyes, and you send out your ping, if you will, to try and locate any dead, and you don't get anything back. But the hiss, the kind of interference you got in the place where we first find Eric has, or the part who told you Eric has was, that's gone now.
00:12:44
Speaker
come back down into the interview and the white paint has kind of lifted from the vision. You do notice though, off to the right, a tree that looks a little bit different to some of the others as well. It looks a little out of place. We're continuing on. There's a weird looking tree. There's lots of weird trees. Pick one. That one.
00:13:11
Speaker
That one looks weird. What about it is weird? Compare that to that and that one.
00:13:25
Speaker
As you notice, it calls right that there's a tree that does distinctly stand out from the others. In what way does it stand out? The other trees look like they've been there for a really, really long time. This one looks younger, looks smaller, looks... There's something about it. You can't look at your finger on something about it that's different, that's interesting about it. Maybe we should investigate the tree. It's a tree.
00:13:49
Speaker
Does it look obviously like our place? Quite. No, not obviously our place. Only now we point it out, I think. Yeah. Now that, okay. Does it seem like Claude is onto something? Thank you.
00:14:08
Speaker
There was someone who knows about the forest better than we do I've got something to try and I out my satchel I pull out the book that Robin disappeared into I've got an idea and quite sure of himself he opens this book he takes out the Quill and he writes in there Robin we have a tree that looks different to the other trees and
00:14:32
Speaker
What shall we do? Question mark. He waits unexpectedly on the page. Anything happen? Can you roll a con? Oh, shit. While you're doing that, explain to Claude. Oh, why? Yeah, you can do, yeah. So, we have a friend who used to live in the forest, though, but he's lived there a long time, and Driver thinks he's an expert, which is right. I mean, he has lived there a long time for a human. He got sucked into a book in Eric Castle. This book.
00:14:59
Speaker
He's in this book. Your famous Robert book? Yes. Called Robin? Yes. Do you have a friend called a book called Robin? Yeah. He knows about you, don't worry I've told him. This is going to be so much fun when Robin does come back. For sex. And Claude has to try and...
00:15:15
Speaker
The writing stays on the page for quite a while and you do look, it's feeling maybe a little sheepish for yourself and there's an awkward silence, even the birds around him are all stopping looking over. I don't think he's present at the moment. Just as you go to close the book, you do notice a little bit of ink start to slowly seep through from the middle of the page, just below where you've written.
00:15:35
Speaker
You can only make out two letters and a separate middle letter you can't really make out. The first letter's an R, and there's a gap, and the last letter is N, and then there's an exclamation mark. Er, do I see this? Yes, yes, you do see that, yeah. Do I see this? Robin is... Yeah, you can do, yeah. I'll hold it out to the group. Robin is telling us to R underscore N. He's telling us to run.
00:16:06
Speaker
unless anyone knows what else that could mean. Have I? I'd like to look at the tree. Can we all roll initiative please? Yeah. I was just going to say, I can have my arms chair and I'll start speaking
00:16:23
Speaker
Look at this and you figure out, you make the connection with this gap and you figure out what this book's trying to say to you. You notice the tree just burst out of the roots and swing these massive long creeper arms out of the ground as it kind of stands up and takes a swing directly at

Battle with Tree Creatures

00:16:43
Speaker
the party. The tree is here, this square right in the middle of the map conveniently. In the south corner you've got the area, the lake you've just traversed around where you noticed the Claude first noticed the tree. We're all going to be walking north up there but you're all around here. Didn't think we got that close though.
00:17:01
Speaker
I've seen two warden samples. I was pretty close to the tree. Yeah, so Claude and Dragos. I was looking at Dragos, but I'll say Dragos. Well, how close did you get? I was near Dragos, so. I wanted to go that far away from everybody. And then Talya would be next to Shada, probably near the back there. And it's gonna be... It's gonna be May. It's gonna be Dragos, because you're the... Oh, actually, no, sorry. Hello, look at this model. I like these guys. That's pretty special. That's Claude.
00:17:32
Speaker
If Claude looks like that, I would never have challenged you. Damn, man. I would still if he was as dumb as he. Maybe he's taller than Drago in this though. Christ, Drago's not used to that. Big bass. He's going to swing at the nearest person to him, which happens to be Drago for that. Yes, it is Drago, actually. I was thinking maybe it was going to be healthy, but it's not. And he is also first in the order as well. It's all just wonderful for me.
00:18:01
Speaker
He's going to hit you with... He's probably got a multi attack, so yeah. What does a 16-2 on cost? It misses. Okay, that's got a second hit.
00:18:10
Speaker
And that is a natty one. Nothing happens. So it takes two big swings for both of these arms to kind of fly over your head as you manage to duck down just in time. Thank you to Robin. These hits don't do any damage to you. Drugger, it is your turn to riposte, if you will. Okay, I take the book, slam it shut, say a mutter, thanks Robin, and put it into my satchel and then I withdraw my sword and rage.
00:18:36
Speaker
And I will attack the tree twice, aiming to just hit the big arms that came at me. Okay, go for it. It's between two attack. 17 to hit. 17 does hit. Woo! That's the first one. 13 points of damage. Just remind me, what's the breakdown of your damage? Is any of it magical? It's all magical. Is it of a type? No. Okay, cool. How much is that again, sorry? 13.
00:19:00
Speaker
Just straight up. Yep. Unless you said my sword was magical. You know what I mean? Gotcha, yeah. That is a 24. 24, the updates as well. 19. 19 points of damage. Ouch.
00:19:17
Speaker
Nice, thank you very much. You take these two massive hits out of the two arms as they swing over to hit you, taking big chips out of the trees. You see this groaning of the wood, kind of bending and pulling over. Elfie, your turn. You notice this tree just comes straight to life, swing at Draghi, which he instantly requests.
00:19:40
Speaker
5, 10, 15, 20. Flank a tree. Moving to flank a tree. We're gonna punch him wood. This is the first time! Okay, so the first one is with his fists who are wreathed in shadows. The first one is an 18. 18 hits. And second attack is a 15. Both hit.
00:20:08
Speaker
And can it do a DC 14-con saving throw as I try and stun it? It bloody well can if you'd like it to. Do you want it to? Yes. It got six in total, so it is stunned. So I punched the tree. Oh, really? I was on the fancy floor. But as a matter of fact, I punched the tree. It seems to start to quiver slightly as it is now stunned. Nice. Until the end of my next go. By the end of your next go? Yes.
00:20:40
Speaker
absolutely still. Shader, before you get a chance to go, you notice that a number of trees have transformed ever so slightly in
00:20:58
Speaker
not all up in my grill up in your grill a couple of the trees are basically they were regular looking trees but they're kind of shed their kind of external mossy covers and you see it's the same kind of shivery slightly sickly green color these trees kind of almost stand up on their roots out of the grind they're kind of
00:21:17
Speaker
growing on nuts around themselves stand up. They haven't done anything yet, but that has just happened. You've been aware of that. Okay, Shada? Well, now what would you like to do? That might have changed your turn. Shada had to go to Rage, and he'd go straight for this new
00:21:34
Speaker
tree that's come to life near Shader and Talia. Yep, the back, yeah. So just going to move over there like so. Kind of in the way between Talia. Yeah, he's basically seen nice of the threat to Talia, realising that you've got three companions that are all very capable of looking after themselves anyway. So protection for Talia really. Okay, nice. So you don't turn off that tree. Swing that head. Oh, you didn't. I'm still watching Shader. Oh, actually, what do I put on my
00:22:02
Speaker
That's 21 for the first one. That hits. Should I hit a tree? I do. But that's 11 for the second. Okay, the second hit misses. The first one does make her hit though. Which is 13 points of normal slashing damage. Yeah. And 7 points.
00:22:21
Speaker
7 points of lightning damage. Yeah. So as your hit goes in, you see a big chunk of flag. But then the magical surge of the lightning kind of goes into the, kind of follows up with it. There's a kind of spark in the tree, which then you can see the current running up the tree.
00:22:36
Speaker
and around the tree and then it returns and it doesn't seem to have had any effect actually the the creature actually then grabs the axe pulls it out with you still kind of holding on to it just pulls it out and hands it kind of hands it back to you pretty much oh damn so the electrical damage oh that's anything else you want to do Shadaan?

Magic & Strategy: Turning the Tide

00:22:58
Speaker
no lovely Claude over there shout
00:23:03
Speaker
This didn't happen the last time I was here. Master, please help us. And I'll cast second level Bless on everyone in the party, including Talia. So you all add a deep forward to any attack, roll a saving throw. Whoa! Deep forward to any attack and... or saving throw. Bless!
00:23:24
Speaker
just back here and use my bonus action to get my shield out and just stand behind my shield. Nice! So he's just backing up a little bit more towards where Shader and Tardary's... Yeah, stay out of the immediate danger. Yep, nice. Okay, so we've got Bless on the group. Lovely. Now, tree turn, baby. The first tree is going to be this one that you've imbued damage upon Shader. He's going to swing back into... Bring it on, tree. 17, do your own class.
00:23:54
Speaker
It misses. The second one is a 25. I think that one hit. That hits. So you are going to take some damage when I am. Seven points of bludgeoning damage that has been halved already for you. Can you make a dexterity saving throw please? No, not a clarity. Yes Oz, you've been hit.
00:24:18
Speaker
have failed it unfortunately to escape you are grappled and now because you're grappled i can engulf you with this so the engulfed target is blinded restrained and unable to breathe and must succeed a dc14 constituting saving throw at the start of each of this creature's turn or take some damage if the if the creature moves the engulfed target moves with
00:24:47
Speaker
around them which we kind of pulled you and you're kind of sat in the shoulder of this creature as it's two kind of long arms and now released from it and you are literally engulfed in it. Shay does the tree Shay does the tree. Paige is a book. Your blind restraint and unable to breathe.
00:25:09
Speaker
basically the start of his next turn, this creature's next turn, you take a constitution saving throw and if you beat it you free yourself basically. Cool. Take you out, you can breathe up to a minute. Oh yeah. Just ten times anyway. If you'd like drowning then it might be a bit... Sorry. Restrained. The next one is going to... I'm not sorry. I'm not at all. The next one is going to move in swiftly towards, kind of almost see
00:25:33
Speaker
See Claude kind of backpedaling out of the pitch here a little bit and doesn't care go straight to the target It can see which happens to be Drago who took a big bite and not bite physical bite but a bite of damage out of One of his three buddies and he's gonna take a swing at him. So he's 10 against drama class And that is a 9 against drama class. Nope. Good lordy swing like shit. Two swings and again easily parry one dodge the second and you're fine The last one is gonna move in
00:26:01
Speaker
to the other side of Elthea. We've got a conga line going on. He's not trying to flank me. No, he's not going to go for the flank. He's going to go for the closest position. The tree doesn't mess a game, unfortunately. He goes into the nearest angle and goes for it, and he's going to swing at Elthea. Oh, that's a nine against Rama class. Nope. Okay, that's better. That is a 22 against Rama class.
00:26:24
Speaker
And that does in fact it. Oh it does? You took a pause like you were like, maybe. Tell him to mess with you. You take 16 points of bludgeoning damage and can you make a DC 14 dexterity. How many points of damage? 16. Sorry, thank you. 26. Yep, so you use two massive hits to come in as it starts to kind of reach around.
00:26:51
Speaker
As the leaves and branches start to kind of wrap around your legs and arms you manage to nimbly kind of do like punches to them to release yourself your back away half a step and prepare yourself for the next for the next round you are you are free and That's that one that one I'll announce the the actual one that's first in combat who's taking a swing this one Yeah, he can't he's done. Oh, he is stunned. Absolutely say that's his kind of turn done Drago
00:27:18
Speaker
Do I get any advantage on him? It is his advantage because he is stunning. Amazing. I'm going to shout to the group, Robin did tell us to run. And with that, I'm going to take my sword and hit the mother flipper in front of me. The one that hit me last time. Did I get advantage on this? Yes. On both hits? Yes. Making. And default.
00:27:43
Speaker
And a default to hit on top of it. Well, that is a sexy 23. 22, sorry. Going for the crate. I'll take the first one. First hit we'll do... 18. What's the first hit? Second hit. 21. And a natural one. So I'll take the 21. 15 points of damage. So as you switch...
00:28:12
Speaker
not the two main kind of arm pieces that are flying out of your hues and kind of clean off, but these two other ones below kind of draw themselves out as the next ways to attack you, but you've taken these two large chunks out of this creature. Elthir, your turn.
00:28:28
Speaker
So I'll attack this one again. The one in the middle that's currently... Yeah, stunned. Stunned, so it's with advantage. Fifteen. Fifteen hits. That does five points of magical bludgeoning damage. Thank you. Five points. If it can spend a... If it can... Does it automatically fail these? No. If it can take another one, another comm saving plant. Natural one, fuck's sake. Called to a stunned again for the turn. Yep. He will then turn for his second attack against this one. Yep, so he stuns to the other creature.
00:28:57
Speaker
That's 16 to hit. Hits. That takes nine points of magical bludgeon damage. Nice. And can that make a DT 14 Con saving throw? 12. No, not enough. So that one's stunned as well. Wow, I think it's kicking all the butt. So that is both stunned till the end of my next round. I'm going to move to there. Two attacks of opportunity. Oh, they're both stunned. They're both stunned.
00:29:27
Speaker
Both of the stuns that he can move straight out of range. And then I'm gonna use my bonus action to attack this one. And sort of as he passes, tells Tali to get, Tali move away from this one. And I'm gonna try and attack this one. 19. That hits.
00:29:45
Speaker
that takes nine points of magical bludgeoning damage. Very nice. And can that also make a DC-14? Is that just bug standards that come with it? It's literally, every time I hit with a melee weapon, in fact, I can spend a kai point. So it's three kai points. Yeah. And that's turned around. It got a 18 for that one, so. Ah, damn, so that one is not stunned. But it did, however, take nine points of bludgeoning damage. It didn't do, it didn't do. I'll stop it and get entirely massive Ryan there by health.
00:30:34
Speaker
this as well. You can if you need to a strength saving throw to see if you can break out the hold. Strength saving throw 23. Yeah absolutely so you manage to pull your head out between these branches and just with your bare dwarven heel draw strength.
00:30:36
Speaker
It's trying to control the combat a bit.
00:30:49
Speaker
push yourself away from it and then elbow to down to the other side and pop yourself out. Kind of do a little backflip, I don't have any butt, but you land, well actually these are quite high, so just for shits and gigs, give us a dexterity. Dexterity check, not a dexterity saving throw, just a dexterity saving throw. Actually I do modifier, 18. Yeah fine, so you land on your feet, perfectly axe in hand, Tylia looked a little bit amazed. Tylia, that was great.
00:31:14
Speaker
She has had a task, but less on her. Talya probably was just stunned that these trees have come alive for a round. I've just rolled them for now and I do have her in order. Claude, your turn. We've kind of moved back out of the situation and you've seen these trees kind of engulf Drago as Elfie runs around punching everything it can see. Did it look like what would normally happen if someone took a saw to a tree? So, like, I'm trying to figure out if
00:31:40
Speaker
There was a resistance there and the tree maybe was able to... Give me a wisdom! Thank God! Straight up wisdom. Just add your modifier, dare I say. Still this disadvantage. Ah, seven. Oh, it was a two or a five, that was... Yeah, it's difficult.
00:31:57
Speaker
When they hit the tree, it looks like what happens when you hit a tree. Fair. Fair. Okay. All right. And again, seeing everyone come out, and I wasn't going to help shade up. Shade, that's fine. I'm going to turn to the one that's not stunned that is behind Drago. Yep. And I'm going to cast Sacred Flame. It's a deck 16 from the tree's point of view. You've got a spellcaster! Okay, so let's go for that.
00:32:26
Speaker
I've got a 15. So it fails. So it takes 2d8 radian. 8 to 10 points of radian damage and it can't burn it from cover.
00:32:36
Speaker
Damn it, the tree was going to hide mine out of the tree. Fair enough. And I'm just going to, again, slightly move back. Slightly away from the combat. Move back to it. Spellcaster! Lovely, thank you very much Claude. Trees are going to go. So, first up is the tree. You said treeser. I was like, that's very close. It's the tree that did have shade on Ian. No, please come after me again.
00:33:06
Speaker
If he's attacking Shale with the first hit, and then you're going to take five points of bludgeoning damage. The second hit he's going to turn with the first hit down. The left arm's going to swing while he's going to hit Elf here. Oh, and that is a 19 against Rammelkopf. And you are going to take 19 points of bludgeoning damage. Another big thud to the head there. Oh, actually, can you both make, one at a time though, can we both make constitution saving throws? Sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:33:35
Speaker
so shade off first, because I forgot, with each successful hit he can engulf you. Oh, okay, 20. 20, absolutely. So it tries to again wrap you up like last time, you quickly from the axe across it pulls back its grip just in time. Elthir, can you make the same? Yeah, seven, nine.
00:33:55
Speaker
You have been captured. You managed to break out the first time you did this. You knew it was coming, but because you do so much of your high energy into hitting these trees, you took your second away from the game for just half a second, grabbed a hold of your ankle, pulls you in. You are now engulfed. You are blinded, restrained, and unable to breathe, and you must succeed at constituting certain threats to start the marriage. Next turn will take some damage. You are a tree.
00:34:19
Speaker
For now you are in a tree. That's his turn. The next one is Stun so you can do fuck a wall. The last one which is behind this has been hit in the back by the attack from Claude is going to... I was thinking that he was attacking. He's not. He's going to stick with Drago and he's going to take another swing at Drago. The first hit is a 19. Yep, that hits.
00:34:46
Speaker
You take seven points of bludgeoning damage. It has been halved. Many thanks. The other one is a 14 against your armor class.
00:35:04
Speaker
I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I can't tell you.
00:35:28
Speaker
Yeah, because there are certain roles where... I'm new to this blest! Yeah, that's cool. I'm blest! I've never been blest! And so he does that, that both attacks were stunned and the last guy is also... No, that's him. And Talia is going to actually, he's going to take a step back on two and see that you've been engulfed by this. She was thinking about attacking you, but she's not. She's going to turn to this guy over here that's stunned and cast Fireball, Firebolt.
00:35:55
Speaker
And plus that, oh, she's going to get to 12. So even with it perfectly stood still, she's got time and she's been blessed as well. Even with that, she will.
00:36:11
Speaker
That's a speed roll, just pick the highest ones and unfortunately that misses and flies off into the distance away and she quietly swears at herself under her breath. Plus this one here is Stun, so Drago your turn.
00:36:26
Speaker
What would you have to do? I'm going to hit the stun tree again in front of me. The one that's been hacked at. The one that's been hacked at. I'm trying to kill the damn thing. And that is a 7. So I'm going to go for the unnatural 20 as my first attack. That hits. Lovely. 17. It's dead. You take a nice big hit the second time to stun. You're a massive sword glistening in this warp-like sun.
00:36:53
Speaker
cuts through it and just falls in two halves as you've hewn this tree in twain. Cut it totally in half, just falls there twitching on the ground. Feeling very powerful, I take my sword out from the wood and turn 360, no 180 degrees behind me. 360 no scope with my sword. 180 turn and hit the tree behind me just as one smooth hit.
00:37:21
Speaker
I don't get. Thank God I couldn't have my best because that was a one. Three. And this is unfortunate. Yeah, I thought so. At least it wasn't that you won. No, it wasn't that one. Didn't add the rest of your modifier. You only got three. True. Oh, it probably missed. Yeah, it missed her shoe. 11, thank you. That misses. That misses. Archie, no. Yes, it is. What do I need to do? I need to make a constitution saving
00:37:53
Speaker
Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless. Hash check bless.
00:38:24
Speaker
Strengths. Is it strength? It would be a strength saving throw to get out of this. You know, you could have had people. I was doing so. I'm going to make a little sign that just everyone around would hold up a bless. Always take a bless. Fourteen. Meets it beats. Yep. Damn it. You pop out of the tree, manage to punch your way out against another piece of wood. You cut yourself a little gap big enough and you manage to just jump yourself out of the gap, kick it in the face on the way past. I'll do some damage for kicking it in the face.
00:38:58
Speaker
use a bonus action to punch the tree. Yeah well consider this the attack you did. It takes six points of bludgeoning damage and can it make a v2.14 saving throw? It passes down 18. How much damage was it again?
00:39:29
Speaker
You're very good at punching that wood. Here lies our beer. Liked the punch wood. That's what they'll say. Shader, your turn. What do you like to do? I'm still going to attack this tree that just swallowed me up. Shader, really peed at me. Grabbing him. Come on, Shader. Come on, Shader. You've got permission before you grab Shader. Yes, you do. Out of curiosity, the D4, does that go on every roll? Every attack roll. Every attack roll. Ability save and skill check. No, not skill check. No, not skill check.
00:39:59
Speaker
Well that one's not even going to get it even. Well I've rolled the d4. So you've rolled both together. And then I do a tap modifier. Right so we're 16. That hits, Tom, she. Alright, you go. 10. No, I missed the virtual one. Which is fine.
00:40:18
Speaker
Oh lord almighty. So eight points of slashing damage and two points of lightning damage. Okay. Can you give me a perception check, please, Shayar? Yes. Five more trees appear. Six. You hit the tree. Shayar, I think everyone's called. Your turn, what do you have to do? I'll do the gold ball. Seeing that tree, absolutely. More of these two. And then Elfie getting engulfed. I'll scream, the master does not want to see you yet.
00:40:47
Speaker
and I'll sprint in and I will cure wounds on Elthir. No, the touch, yeah, cure wounds on Elthir. Okay, so what do we get for that? 3d8 plus five. 19. 19, 24 points of healing. Wow. Damn, Daniel. And then I'm to follow up with another second flame on that bitch. Okay. On the tree, in that birch. Yeah, birch.
00:41:15
Speaker
DC 60 decks. He gets it. He does get it, so he manages to somehow dodge the... I'll just back the last bits of my movement.
00:41:42
Speaker
He's now unstunned as well. So he's going to make a b-line for this and he's going to take a swing at you with Hovantage and gets a 17 against your armor class. Yep, that hits. You're going to take seven points, so three points of bludgeoning damage. Oh, it's pathetic. Can you make a DC? I'm going to tell you. Can you make a dexterity? 12.
00:42:09
Speaker
You are engulfed in the tree that grabbed your... You have to kind of put you in to it. Which one did it? This one did it. So now he is the one who's behind it and the one who's been untouched that was stunned previously. So now he's in their loop inside. The second tree that hasn't...
00:42:25
Speaker
has seen this and gone, okay, he's going to go for Claude, which is only a step away and he's going to take a swing. Let's see what Claude's made of. 21 against your armor class. Hit. If you said miss, I'd be like, what? 10 against your armor class. Miss. So that first one hits, and that's going to be, oh, a nice hefty-defty. Seven points of bludgeoning damage. Again, can you make a dexterity?
00:42:49
Speaker
Saving throw. Do you get blessed in yourself? No. Everyone else put me. Oh, hashtag not blessed. Same throw as I don't do on this advantage. This is good. What? A dexterity saving throw. Five. Oh no, we're gonna miss some best. You are engulfed in the tree. Concentration check. Come on, come on. Why is this a skill? Concentration check. No, I'd say it's not a skill, I'd say it's a save.
00:43:15
Speaker
A natural one. You lose, you lose your blessings. We're all going to be lost inside the woods. Into the woods! We go, quite literally. That's their turn. Finally, they're actually getting their fucking attacks in. The last guy who is going to take a swing at Shader for the first hit and that's going to be 12 against Rama class. The other one against El Fyr, that's a 14 against Rama.
00:43:40
Speaker
So he goes through big swings and misses. Talia is going to see what's happening and see these two swings floundering and missing and see the situation you're in there. I think you'll be fine. Return to Claude, this new fellow who's been blessing them a lot. The Claude tree. After a blast and all that stuff. He's going to fire a fireball at it and miss, unfortunately, only rolling a 13, so missing that one as well. She's not having a good time rolling the fireballs. Maybe we should try something different next round. That's the bottom line. I want to fire against trees, so it seems sensible to me.
00:44:10
Speaker
Yeah, it's not doing very well. Drago, can you please make a constitution saving throw? Of course I can. Natural 20. You don't die. I know, what a time to get that. Now, you're still blind and restrained and unable to breathe in the tree. What would you like to do? I'd like to punch you out. Oh, can I...
00:44:30
Speaker
Just grab my sword and melee inside the tree. I would like to break out of the tree. Can I dragon breath out?
00:44:42
Speaker
Well, actually, restraint says your attacks are at a disadvantage. The restraint thing says attack rules against creatures have advantage and the creatures attack rules have disadvantage. But if you were also blinded as well, I'm considering... I know you can't double disadvantage. I'm going pure drago. But I'm going lads. I'm going to roar and dragon breath in there.
00:45:03
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, okay. So in the tree breath weapon silver. Here we go in the tree Probably doing I'd say no, we'll see what I mean. I'm resistant to it. That's fine Does it come outside the tree depends how do you want to do it? So basically you are it depends on your faces around your mouth as well I like to think I'm inside the tree. Yeah, I'm gonna full-on like I
00:45:25
Speaker
breath weapon out i'm just worried that with my cone am i gonna is it coming out but he's in the tree as well so if it happens to break out the tree he is in the tree as well and would be kind of protected by the tree okay cool so i don't know i don't know what the hell this is um basically if it comes out the tree it's gonna hit because it's a 15 cone right um i need you to make a what level am i at eight so it's three d six con dc 15 saving throw
00:45:56
Speaker
He makes it. This is half damage then, motherfucker. God damn it. Four points of ice damage. Okay, he takes that damage. And you are not, you have not broken out of it yet, you're still in there, but you are not. Fair enough. I'm just getting more angry. Yes, yeah, well I feel like you're building towards, I feel like I like this. Cool. Droga, thank you very much. Elthea, what do you want to do?
00:46:24
Speaker
How many rounds do we have? This is our fourth round of start. 22. That hits. And I'll do the second attack as well. 22 again. Both hit. 15 points of magical bludgeoning damage. Can it make a DT 14? Yes it can indeed. And what is it, constitution? Yeah.
00:46:49
Speaker
Just fails. Cool, that's how it's done.

Victory Over Trees

00:46:52
Speaker
Leave me to it. 5, 10, 15, then we'll tap them with Claude inside, try and get Claude out. OK, nice. So, with my bonus action.
00:47:04
Speaker
Shit. Nine. That misses, unfortunately. Yeah, I think it does. Cool. Is that your turn? Yeah. Jada! Whoo! What turn would you want to do? I'm still attacking this for you. Go for it. And I put a stun, so I roll on that badminton. Yep, right. You don't have bless. Hashtag bless. I don't have bless. Sixteen for the first attack. Okay, that hits. We'll be eighteen.
00:47:30
Speaker
nine points of slighting damage and one point of lightning damage for the first attack. Does that include in modifiers for your...? That it includes in my items. You've got to check. The next one, it's exactly the goddamn same. Really? Yeah. Nine points of slighting damage and one point of lightning damage. Lovely. Thank you very much.
00:47:51
Speaker
What is the state of this tree right now? It's looking like it's free. It's looking like it's still very strong. You've taken a couple of champs out of it. Can you give me another perception check, please? Fifteen. You notice that every time you hit the tree, something, the electricity runs through it and sections of the bark seem to regrow. When Elfie hits it,
00:48:43
Speaker
Oh, damn! He's friends with you! Declare the friends, Lee. Declare the friends, Lee. Damn, Daniel. Um, lovely thank you very much. Can we make a disadvantaged constitution saving throw? Because we are still exhausted, aren't we? So we still have a point of exhaustion. Yeah, but it's not on a relative tip. Oh, it's not on his attention. I'm not supposed to do cheques. Apologies, apologies. Just drink. Come on. Come, yeah, please. Uh, fuck.
00:48:50
Speaker
It doesn't seem to do that.
00:49:07
Speaker
Don't pass it and you take 10 points of bludgeoning damage. I'm coming, master. Blended, restrained and unable to breathe. But you get an action, what should I have to do? Right. Blind, restrained, unable to... Can I move my hand? You can move your hand. I would like you, Mark, DM. You will make sense. I'm taking this damage. I'm going to grab a knife. You're going to slap him in the face.
00:49:35
Speaker
cockslap of the gods. I'm going to catch the wood blight on this tree. If a target is a plant creature or magical plant it takes full spell damage and has disadvantage on
00:49:53
Speaker
16 is the DC. It fails. Okay, it takes 64 points of necrotic damage. Fuck me. Okay, that is... That's not even rolling any dice. What? Crazy. 64 points of necrotic damage. I'm going to get a calculator after this. That's insane. Because I can't work this out. What? That's insane. It literally rots from the inside. I'm going to say that amount of damage as well.
00:50:21
Speaker
releases you from its grip as well so you're free from it you're just next to it now but this you can see this bubbling black ooze just kind of pouring out the section that you were in as it kind of starts to try to like just claw with it to try and remove some of the some of whatever it is that's in that fuck me that's a good smell yeah that is incredible it's got to be a plant no magical plant or plant
00:50:50
Speaker
That's what, 64 points of damage. That is crazy. That's the highest damage. Yeah. So he's going to turn and he's fuming at this point and he is still going to swing. He's going to swing directly at Claude. It's a 10 against Rama class. This is a fail, I guess. I mean a 19 against Rama class. Meats and beats. Meats? Yeah, he's got a shield. Wow. Shield that as well. Damn Claude.
00:51:14
Speaker
12 points of lightning damage. Can you make a Constitution saving throw, please? Come on. No, no, no, no, no, no. 16. Okay, it's fine. You see it kind of reach out, but uses its kind of necrotic arm as it does, that arm kind of falls off and you don't have to move. You're like, oh, sorry about that. It doesn't even manage to grab you properly as the arm just falls off and the blight starts to move up the creature. Fucking nice, that spell is brilliant. Top of the round, Drago, your turn. I am still... Can you make a Constitution saving throw because you're still in a tree?
00:51:45
Speaker
17. 17. You are not dying in the tree. Your turn, what do you want to do? I want to bust on out of here with all my strength. Strength saving throw. I want to birth myself out of this tree. Like Ace Ventura. Like Ace Ventura.
00:52:00
Speaker
What did you roll? I don't know. It's getting away there. Not good. 16. Passes, you managed to break yourself by and bark flies everywhere. Bit lands on Claude's face, a little bit falls on Elfie's face. It's Elfie. Yeah, bursts out of it, douche and lands in front of it. That is your action. You can move if you want. Oh no. I turned around and square up to the truth. This is round five, by the way, guys, that are looking at you. Thank you. Elfie, your turn. What'd you like to do?
00:52:30
Speaker
It is a necrotic covered tree. I wish to punch the necrotic covered tree. Black goop fizzing off its body. First attack does 20... Does hit one. Second attack is a 19.
00:52:46
Speaker
16 points of magical bludgeoning. This is you adding everything up. Yeah, I've just done the two attack rolls at the same time. Lovely, thank you for doing that. Lovely, so you just give the strikes into it and then you see these big chunks of it falling off of its kind of trunk section. Okay, I'll use my bonus action to attack it at third time. 14? At 14 misses. I'm imagining you have a flare kick as you kind of go up and try and super kick the tree in the face with
00:53:15
Speaker
to get it's un-necotic branch in the way to pull your leg away. Fair play. And miss that hit. Shada, your turn. You are now frenzying. You are the angriest dwarf I've ever seen. Yes, I've been angrier than the fact that I've been healing this fucking thing. And I've forgotten how long. If the DM will permit me, as general concern seems to be using this as a whole action to do this, drop my shield and my axe of Olaf and withdraw the great axe that has always been stolen on my back.
00:53:43
Speaker
Yes. And normally it counts as a free action, but if you're trying to do one or the other, if you're trying to do both, just like a quick look. Yeah. A gentleman says it takes an action turn to drop and then drop. You don't even have action surge though. What does Frenzy give you? Frenzy gives me another attack. Action surge gives me another turn.
00:54:02
Speaker
Okay, so technically you could, have you got actions? I've got actions, yeah. So you could have, yes. Yeah, so that's all fine, I would take that action. Yeah. But yeah, you would still have these. I still have two attacks. So let me, your AC's gone down. Yeah, I'm not AC, have you indeed gone down? My AC has dropped now. I'm not saying to what.
00:54:22
Speaker
Either way, for the bonus action, then it's a 19 that I would... Yep, that hits. Roll. So this is an action search. This would be the friendly attack that I would do for him. Well, for God's sake, I've also bleeding...
00:54:38
Speaker
Five points of damage with a great axe. That's not bad. I'm getting used to a new weapon again for a while. At least I'm not healing it. I will mark my action surge and then do I get all three? You get two attacks but you can't... I can't use a bonus attack. You only have to get one bonus attack. So this is for the next attack. Action surge just lets you have new actions. Which is 23 and 20. Both hit. Seven points of damage. Slashing damage. And then...
00:55:06
Speaker
They're 15 points of slashing damage as well. Not magical. I hope I'm not resistant to that. No, it's not magical. Not magical either. It cools up even more. No, it doesn't. Nice. It's regrown inside. It got a bit tree-y. It got a bit tree-y. Rule heavy, didn't it? But no, that's fine. All that type. Yeah, it's good. Use an action search. It works for an action. Claude, you are out of the tree. You've just buggered this tree up to all of these... Oh, buggery. You buggered the tree. What would you like to do now? I'll say, tree, you are mine now. I'm going to cuddle it.
00:55:36
Speaker
casting Blight again so he's got to do a con 16. Done a disadvantage. It fails. 64 points of necrotic damage to that tree. As Claude walks up healthy you see very clearly in Drago you can hear it and everyone watches as this man, bold hunchback man, just walks up to the big tree that's swinging it healthy.
00:56:00
Speaker
Bleeding and dripping this fizzing black necrotic liquid onto the ground on the mulch below hugs the tree for a second and you see just the skin that's in contact with the bark just turn this deathly green as the tree just pauses for a second straightens up slowly and this
00:56:18
Speaker
just becomes ash and goop and just falls to the ground all kind of running off Claude's face and the creature has been. Is that the second tree you've killed? No, that same tree. But he's just done a hundred and
00:56:39
Speaker
I'm going to take a sit down now. Don't be a trio ant, Claude. That's the rule of thumb. I just moved towards the trio I was working on. Yeah, nice. The one that is currently fighting, that Drago has burst out of, is going to attack Drago. 22, get Drago. Jesus Christ! And a 1, he goes a 91, so I was going to miss.
00:57:04
Speaker
You take five, four points of bludgeoning damage. Can you make a DC? Piss. Can you make a constitution saving throw, please? Ah, yes, that's what I'm talking about. What'd you get? I got 24. Yep, that's fine. So he tries it again. You're like, nah, I don't fucking think so. And then I used to parry away its advances. He'll ask for permission before you grab me and stuff. That's the end of his turn. The tree that is currently fighting with Shader is going to take his luck with him, as in 24 against your armor class. Yep. The first one missed.
00:57:34
Speaker
of 4 you're going to take 12 points of bludgeoning damage with half 6 points of bludgeoning damage and you make a constitution saving throw please.
00:57:44
Speaker
And these two big hits come in and as it wraps its third one around to try and grab you and pull you in, you manage to, using your axe, you haven't quite used it in a while, just parry the hits away and before it can get anywhere close to you. That's the end of his turn. Let's have the right dragga. What are you doing? I am going to reckless attack this motherfucker in front of me and kill it. Do you mind those reckless attack? Reckless attack gives you advantage against me but gives me advantage against it. Cool.
00:58:07
Speaker
So it gets the advantage when you get advantage? Yes, basically. So the first one is going in for 21. That hits. I didn't get the 20 on that one. So first bit of damage. Five, six, 15 points of damage. 15 points, very nice. Going for the second hit. Will be...
00:58:29
Speaker
I don't know what your multi-arms are, let me stare at me. 14, that misses. And 22. That hits. 14 points of damage. You're so intense at me when you do that. Yeah, because I really want to kill it and now it's got advantage, it convinced me.
00:58:44
Speaker
Cool. That's your turn. Dun, dun, dun. Is that Washington? Turn six, by the way. I'll take your turn. How dark is it? It's afternoon. Is there shadows? There's dapples of light. It's like, you and the rocket. Are there shadows? Yes, there are shadows. I shadow step into this tree, and I will shadow step out of this tree, giving myself advantage. And I will also go there to flank it just in case. Yes. And I will attack the tree. Attack the tree.
00:59:15
Speaker
22 on the first attack. How many new dice? Anyway, the new dice are amazing. The weighted metal dice, it feels great. What are you going to film? The Amazon. And then on the second attack, that's a 15. Both hit.
00:59:34
Speaker
14 points of magical bludgeoning damage. Yeah, that's those both attack heads together. And I'll spend a card point and attack it again. 23.
00:59:51
Speaker
You've got another five points of bludgeoning damage. Five points of damage, so you see yourself there just like matrix-style, boom, boom, boom, boom, to pow, pummels into this tree. Chunks falling off, flaking off, left, right, and center. Come on out there, we can do this. Into the back of it, but it's still not going down. Shaddar, your turn. What would you like to do? Well, because I forgot we had it. Reckless attack to begin with. I'm going to give myself some advantage. So first attack still on this tree that I think we've been healing through Garden of the Tower.
01:00:24
Speaker
Not after all for the first attack. It's second attack.
01:00:29
Speaker
23 not natural it's well I don't know you have an actual 23 in all thickness but there you go. 23 satin attack. I don't know one of those. 8 points of slashing damage to begin with. An additional 7 points of slashing damage. Would I still get advantage on the last one? 23 hits. It's a normal attacking damage. Bonus attack is normal attack on that as well. If you're dual wheeling it's your off-hand attack that doesn't get the hand.
01:01:01
Speaker
Lovely, that's a good bit of damage, actually, Shader. Nice, considering that's your old axe. Yeah, very old axe for the health. No goosps. That's you done, Claude. I do your turn. You've kind of backed up after blighting twice, looking a bit knackered, wouldn't you? I'll shout which I'm going to say. The key is hug the trees. Good God. I'm going to go running in the back of this one. Hug it. Oh, fuck me. I'm out of slots, so I'm just going to use that. Sacred Flame. Well, he's got a dodge Sacred Flame with a Dex DC 60. He fails. 2d8 plus 5, brilliant.
01:01:34
Speaker
Nine. Fourteen points of radiant damage. Lovely. It packs a punch. I've just seen him hugging everything in there. Disintegrating with his touch. Okay, nice. The tree that is currently being flanked by Elthir and Drago is going to take a swing. One at each of you. Get advantage on me.
01:01:54
Speaker
The first one against you then is 22 against your armor class. It's going to hit. You're going to take three, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. Five points of bludgeoning damage. It has been halved. Can you make a con saving throw please? It's going to be a 25 against your armor class. I passed it at 17 natural, so if you want it, yep. You take 13 points of bludgeoning damage and can you make a con saving throw please?
01:02:24
Speaker
You've not eaten me. Why would you roll? I got an 18. No you're not. You're in golf. No I'm joking. You have been in one though. I have been in one though. You have been in this really. Everybody's been eating that after walks. I've been eating it. Clothes have been walked. I'm only Tally. Tally and Tally is the only one that's not been eaten. Yeah. I'll ditch you all and just go for Tally.
01:02:47
Speaker
one, the other one, has he reattacked Shader? No. He's going to turn actually because he's being hugged by Claudia. Take a swing, that's a 12 against Rama class, 22 against Rama class, and you're going to take 19 points of bludgeoning damage, that's pretty much almost an 8 and a 7 of 2d8.
01:03:16
Speaker
And can you do a constitution save throw please? Oh god! You've gobbled up that tree again. Back in that tree just where you belong. So at the end of that turn now we have both of those gone. Dragga your turn. I'm gonna reckless attack the tree again right in front of me and I'm going for that crit baby. Now it's not a disadvantage now because you've got advantage from the fine king so it's normal.
01:03:45
Speaker
Oh, sorry, you don't have to attack. Oh, then no, I won't make this attack then. You've already got advantage. I did not realise that. Sorry, I thought you were a disadvantage. You could roll both. I did roll both. That was a one, so. But this one is a beautiful 25 to hit. Okay, so I'm not recklessly. Damage on that will be rubbish, 12. I'm like 12 with rubbish damage for him. I know, it's rubbish damage for me.
01:04:14
Speaker
Thirteen. That misses. Yeah, first time I've missed for one. I know, that's what many of you have missed. You've been in cracking damage. Draggo, it's your turn. Thank you. It's round seven. We're in our L3. It's your turn. What do I have to do? I'm going to attack it. Getting close. I'm getting close. I'm getting close. Thanks for bearing with us guys. Fourteen to hit. The DMs are about to win. Misses. Second attack. Keep you going.
01:04:36
Speaker
22. That hits. 9 points of magical bludgeoning. It doesn't like it, but it'll take it. And then I'm going to use my bonus action to punch it again. Bonus action punch in the face. 23. That hits. And it takes another 6 points of bludgeoning damage. 6 points, yeah.
01:04:56
Speaker
It looks like it's bark has seen better days. His bite is worse than his bark. He did so well. Ian just leave it. Make like a tree and get out of here.
01:05:13
Speaker
Make it like a tree and leave your butt-hand. I love that movie so much. Best movie of the 80s. Shame on you. I'm still reckless attacking because I'm still pissed off at you. Goddamn trees! So first attack going against the one I've been fighting all these so many rounds. So 19 to hit that hits. Just want some damage for that one which is five. Yeah five damage it tastes like a bitch.
01:05:43
Speaker
20, not natural. That hits. Come on Shader. Damage for this one. 11 points of damage. You're getting there Shader. I'm sorry again. Oh thank god. I know it's not the last one but how do you want to kill this tree that you've invited for the last 8 rounds? I just think Shader is literally just going to grab his axe, heave it aboard his head.
01:06:05
Speaker
knock it basically on the floor and while it's down the floor he's just going to swing multiple times and just really get him out of this goddamn chuffing tree while it's on the ground. He's raging, he's foaming at the mouth right now, he's so annoyed.
01:06:18
Speaker
I still have my bonus attack as it works. Does Claude come out? Does Claude get damaged by the death of the tree? He will come out of the tree. He's trying to kill me. I know that Claude's inside the floor and he's still mashing away. Sorry. Kill this tree. 25. He must be on his last leg. Natural 20.
01:06:43
Speaker
Just so you know, it's on four hit points. I'll show you how you just mulch this tree into timber. How do you want to kill the final tree?
01:06:53
Speaker
Greenpeace are going to be calling the outlive. Yeah, in all fairness, he's still waving, he's still angry. I think Shado just going to speed straight at this tree. Speed at the street. Be quiet and monopoly. And with his great axe, he's just going to run straight past
01:07:13
Speaker
the side of the tree in between everyone this great action is just going to slide horizontally straight through him in typical kind of animated Japanese style just going to pause everything for a moment and on the top half i'm just going to go ding a four on the floor i like it and then the dust settles on the ground everyone's panting Claude you weren't going to be down for the round but you can set yourself back up if you're just seeing this dwarf absolutely

Session Conclusion & Future Plans

01:07:38
Speaker
absolutely just destroy these trees finally as the noise of the swamp returned back to the back to the ground back to the area you're currently in in the panting slowly subsides the silence for a second before talia says well shall we carry on

Outro & Social Connections

Thank you very much, Mark, for just being awesome as always. As always, you can follow us on our Twitter page, which our handle is at the fellowship.

Speaker
Hi everyone, this is a special and really quick shoutout to our main man Danny who plays Claude. He's set up his own Etsy page and it's called, funnily enough, Crafts by Claude. He's currently hand making and selling personalised initiative trackers. Each comes with a logo of the character or creature type, because you can also have them made for baddies as well.
01:09:29
Speaker
and they can be personalised to include specific character names or indeed nicknames if you want them. But wait, I hear you exclaim, where do I put these awesome trackers made by the world's single nicest person? Luckily they fit perfectly on your DM screen, or in my case, my laptop screen. We've all been there in the heat of battle, with six or seven rounds in, it's been five straight hours of playing D&D, and your mind's a little bit frazzled and you're losing track. These are perfect just for letting you know who's going when and who's next.
