Welcome and Introduction
00:00:00
Speaker
Let's go play a game. Dungeons and Dragons gonna cause pain.
Humorous Banter
00:00:31
Speaker
Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Fellowship of the Tabletop. Thank you very much for joining us. We were live, played 5E D&D podcast, and we all managed to find time to sit down around one fucking table and play D&D for your bleh, bleh, bleh, oh fuck. He's so loud, he's so loud. He doesn't write this down either. For your pleasure and mine. That's why I sit down. That's what I was going to say. It was a joke because of erection, but nevermind. I'm going to scintillate that is I'm aroused.
00:01:01
Speaker
Oh thanks Ian, I got you. Well, thank you for joining us. Or not, you may have left by now. Keep listening and eventually I'll go through it all and it'll be fucking perfect. I'll never write it down, I'll never write it down and I'll get a standing ovation but you won't know when it's standing up because there's a chair down. It'll be a crash, it'll be a fall
Episode Recap
00:01:19
Speaker
over. And everyone will stop clapping. And thank you for joining us on this episode. We've got a lot of shit planned for this one actually. It's gonna get
00:01:27
Speaker
That's it. I was going to say wet but that doesn't make sense. Moist. Moist. Moist session. This is a moist episode. We've got everyone with us. We've got the full battalion and we have Will who plays Elpho. Hi Will. Hi. We've got Darren who plays Robin. Hi Darren. Hello Mark. We have got Danny who plays Claude. I'm here. I'm in attendance. If you are indeed. Here we have Shada who... Greetings. And we have Ian who plays Drago. What up Robin.
00:01:53
Speaker
What did we do last episode? Okay, having made it through the collapsed stairwell at the beginning of the last episode, we ascended the stair, at which point Shader decided to go all around Mo on the campaign and kicked the door down. In hindsight, that wasn't the smart move because we got royally, royally hurt.
00:02:14
Speaker
Anyway, the idea of combat didn't pass to everyone, Elfie didn't get the memo and decided to start investigating the rooms
Game Scenario Setup
00:02:23
Speaker
around us. He found some notepads, but he did find a man in a room called Captain Giryani. I've never met him or I like him.
00:02:37
Speaker
I thought you were doing so well, it was like you were trying to have him talk for a minute without hesitating. Well, then it all went wrong. Meanwhile, some of these big things, these claw things, Stalin and her name, that have a ridiculous reach and the ability to inflict pain, started to fight our barbarians. Luck appeared to have switched
00:03:00
Speaker
It's Malice from Kalim to Ian during this fight, but Claude was able to restore the good captain to his wits and then came back down the corridor and tried to snap Talia out to Lefir. Meanwhile in the room, Shader, Drago and then eventually Robin were trying to fight these things. It looked to be going ill, Elphir finally got involved, Claude threw in some sacred
00:03:24
Speaker
Flames. Tomatoes went awry. Sword slinging, some axe slinging. You cried. I cried. Everything died. Apart from us. We then went from there down the corridor. Drago decided to jump into the void of stop magic and drink a weird potion. That went well. Much to the disappointment probably of all the listeners. And us. And us, let's be honest.
00:03:53
Speaker
At which point Claude decided to announce to this magical error cast that we are here and we're coming for you, that can only end well. Drago stormed down the corridor, dropped a sass bomb on Alfie, as he did, and then kicked the door open, and there was this big hunched evil thing that's about to murder us all.
Magical Battle Begins
00:04:14
Speaker
In front of the portal. In front of the portal. Yes, thank you very much, Dan. Great introduction. You can get yourself one of these D6s for inspiration. You take it. Take my dice.
00:04:22
Speaker
Yeah, I'll throw it at your head. Because we're all sitting in the same room. We can do that, I'm going to pass it through. Original question for the DM straight off the bat. Because I kicked down the door, do I get a surprise round on his ass? No! Dammit! It's not like you snuck in there. I've been prepping this all week. We're asking for a surprise round. Just one like kick the door and do something. And there's more lights coming from.
00:04:47
Speaker
Just to remind you, because I'm pushing so hard, because I'm a little bitch, and because I like it and I made it up myself, it's my own thing. You also do have a tier three stop magic potion, a stop magic scroll, and a gully box on beam. I know, they're on L sphere right now. Just checking that you've- But none of us can catch them. Don't you have to have the ability to catch the spell first to catch the scroll? The tier, yes, those ones you do. No, tier two ones you don't.
00:05:11
Speaker
But there's just a big chance that they could backfire on you. Okay, so we don't need the ability- To tier 3 scroll, anyone can do it, but you just roll on a tier 1 on a table. So you've got the darling bolt, sunbeam and the third... Which is an unknown. You read it out so that something happens pretty much. Cool. Okay, just to remind you, because I'm apparently selling now, apparently. Oh, that's fun, I enjoy it, it's gambling and I love it. That's magic, don't deal with magic. Technically, anyone here could use that tier 3 scroll because you just
00:05:39
Speaker
read what you see on him and that is how it works. Double dog day. I'm not going to use magic. Dragot does not use magic. Apart from hearing potions. I just want to head for it. That's just a potion. As you kick the door down. Okay let's do this. We see a long stone floored room and three windows down the left side of this room that stretches down deep into the house into the building. Light is kind of piercing through these open eyes
00:06:07
Speaker
windows through them further down the room you can see the back of this tall hunched figure top half of its cape it's up over its face over its head this is the back of it you can see with two layers and its arms are out wide in a still position in one hand you see a large book in the other it seems to be gesticulating you can hear chanting language you can't understand unless does anyone speak deep speak
00:06:44
Speaker
And Jeff's band will come out of the portal. Now, the bottom half of this creature's long gown, if you will, is kind of an outcome of this ethereal astral blue with almost stars that seem to be shining out of it. It seems to have this kind of eminent quality to it as well. The portal itself behind you shares that similar blue. It's a still, slow
00:07:08
Speaker
So it almost looks like the sea, but the sea is in slow motion in this very still circular portal, which seems to fill that back wall.
Encounter with Magical Portal
00:07:17
Speaker
So it actually makes it very large. It's like 25 foot in diameter.
00:07:23
Speaker
it's a very large portal and he has stood in front of it. Aside from that room on the right hand side there is a line of bookshelves that seem to be stacked up to the hilt as well, Robin stay away from them. To your right and left you can see a collection of more plush chairs and tables that have all been stacked and pushed towards that end, very
00:07:43
Speaker
Maybe this used to be some kind of, I don't know, other library or resting room or kind of retiring room if you will, and these have kind of moved to the side quite a while ago, okay? So this is the situation you find yourselves in. As the door is kicked down by Drago, the right hand of this creature, the book continues to stay and the right hand lowers.
00:08:02
Speaker
And the chanting continues, and as it turns around, you suddenly see a creature that none of you will have seen before. Out of where the face should be, you see long, five long tentacles that seem to act as additional fingers, kind of, where it's mouth should be, they kind of whip around themselves, correcting and holding their own parts of their hands and arms.
00:08:26
Speaker
the eyes moving independently once from another. One continues to look at the book as it turns around and looks down the corridor at you all, looks for a second, then continues to look back away from you and continue at the portal for just a second.
00:08:43
Speaker
That's just before anything, but you'd think right now we're about to do something. Something appears out of the portal. It looks like Squidward. Yeah, it must be Squidward. I don't know, it's a dude. And out of the portal, out of the mist you see a shadow start to appear and then kind of bursting through this portal is this shadowy, shroud-y figure. It seems quite small as it kind of looks up to this creature, it looks at him.
00:09:08
Speaker
and then this creature looks down the corridor towards the rest of you and lets out this kind of hiss noise and starts making its way towards you. Can your roll initiative please? Okay, did anyone roll a 20 plus? I rolled a 20. That'll do, I'll have that, thank you. Claude? 15 to 20. Me? What did you get, Shader? Erm, I got 16 total. 18. So, draw go as next, Shader. As next? What was it, 10 to 15? 11.
00:09:35
Speaker
11 from Elle Fear. Robin, you're just like stupid hives. Not as high as me. What did you roll down? Seven. So as that happens, you've seen this creature start to approach down, it's shorter than this other creature with the things out. Claude, your turn.
00:09:56
Speaker
everything that happens now is going to be in the language of infernal okay okay so we're going to hold the amulet up to in front of my face and I'm going to cast commune and I'm going to ask
00:10:11
Speaker
Should we destroy this portal? Should we go through this portal?
Battle Escalation
00:10:16
Speaker
Should we run? Can I yes or no answer from my deity to pull through those questions? I'll do all three of the questions. So the first one, should you say the first one? Go through was the first question. You feel a sense of absolute dread and uncertainty. Should we destroy the portal? You feel a sense of pleasure. Should we run? You feel a sense of dread.
00:10:43
Speaker
and just step step like one four like five foot back away away from the action that's happening yeah it's gonna backing into shade our a little bit douche into his back okay thank you very much drago drago
00:10:58
Speaker
Dumpstruck right now, he's making a run. Your turn, Drago, what was that to do? Right, I would... Okay, is it... Is it possible to rage? I want to run as fast as possible, grab him and push him into the pool. And Robby tackle. He will get an attack of opportunity as you go past you. Yes, he will. Very interesting, you're ready. 15 points of damage. What? Sorry, 15.
00:11:28
Speaker
Just straight away. I got a right hit. I'm going to kick him to the bottom. You're going towards him. Kick him to the bottom. Come on. Make the athletics check. An athletics check. Ten.
00:11:43
Speaker
How do you go about doing this? I look to just run as hard as I can and it would be either a shoulder hit or if I felt more grip hitch I would literally rub my tackle so it would be hands around his waist as you get close to him so we've had to he does turn around anyway to see you're about to do this he was either going to push it straight on or react and tentacles are going to reach out
00:12:12
Speaker
and the energy that you have in sprinting towards them is going to take you two squares off to the left. It's kind of your residual kind of force. It bumps you into the wall there as you don't manage to make contact with them, unfortunately. That is your turn. Talia's in the back here. She's not going to push in front and she can hear the stuff going on. It's her turn, but she is going to not do anything. She's going to wait. Shodar, your turn. What would you like to do?
00:12:38
Speaker
Shader is going to move forward in front of Claude. Enter the room slightly. See Jago now shoved up against the wall. He's certainly considering himself to be a bit weak. I'm going to use my action to drink my Potion of Hill Giant Strength. Okay. The Potion of Hill Giant Strength will basically
00:13:06
Speaker
improve my strength score to 21. Yep. For an hour. I've had it for a while. I've been waiting for a decent opportunity to use it. And now is as good a time as any. I've just got to hit him. And I'm going to use my bonus action to reach, but I'm just going to scream in. Yeah, I'm going to walk straight in front of this guy that's on the left, not the one that's just whacked Drago, and just stand in front of him, screaming in his face now. Real, almost like adrenaline steneries rush from this potion of film giant strength.
00:13:34
Speaker
Yeah, nice. Awesome. Thank you very much. Shader, awesome stuff. Elviet, your turn. Now what room hadn't I searched?
00:13:42
Speaker
I don't think he's gonna come and help his good friend, Shader. Okay, nice. So you move into the room next to this. So I'll say it rushes into the room, sees the portal, sees the bad guy, sees Drago hugging the wall, sees Shader attacking this other creature that looks smaller than the things before earlier. Yep. So he looks and he charges in and, you know, Shader's his friend.
Critical Battle Moments
00:14:03
Speaker
And he charges in and attacks the thing in front of Shader. The Shader seems to be screaming at him. A bit of spittle is obviously going on it, so.
00:14:11
Speaker
Alfie's going to come in and attack it. Lovely. How does an 11 do? 11 does not hit, unfortunately. How does a 17 do you mean? 17 hits. Excellent. It takes six points of magical positioning. Yep. And then can it make a DC 14 common saving throw?
00:14:34
Speaker
It passes. Neats. Wait, meter beats. I need my bonus action to punch him again. Okay, nice. We got a... I got a one. Unfortunately, that's going to miss, unfortunately. Okay, you're going to roll again, fine.
00:14:47
Speaker
This creature is going to look directly at you, Drago. It's going to pull out of its sleeve a collection of nut shells and it just looks at you and kind of sprinkles them on the ground whilst making these weird, plottled, loud sounds out of its mouth and into your mind
00:15:09
Speaker
Questions start to rise, disappear, delusions, provoking uncontrolled actions. This is confusion. In fact, I can't take reactions in my throat. So, can you make a wisdom saving throw, please? Shader, you're also going to... You're going to have to do this role as well, please. This is a 10-foot radio, so this is a wisdom saving throw. 17. OK. 94. OK.
00:15:38
Speaker
I can't get there in this town, so I'm going to, I'm going, what Robin will do, he'll hear all this horrific screech and this noise and whatnot, and he'll say over his shoulder, Tolia, we need you. I always said I'd tell you when we'd be a good time to use that scroll of lightning bolt, and I'm gonna call that the help action to try and encourage her to get into the fight, and just come and go to Claude and draw my bow, and that's the end of my turn. Okay, thank you very much. Robin, this creature here, this shrine,
00:16:11
Speaker
I think you've thought these before actually though. It's going to reach out a hand towards Shader in front and just see this black cloud start to emit out towards it. Does a 17 hit your armour class? No. Doesn't? Okay. Top of the round.
00:16:35
Speaker
has happened, another one of these black spectre creatures, it's not a spectre, but it's a black. It's very similar to the last one. Again, kind of steps out of the portal and through into the room out of the portal, looks around and starts to move forward a step. He is now also in the fight. Claude, your turn. What would you like to do? Okay, so from the previous rounds, I sort of stepped back into the corridor. My language has changed from infernal to abyssal as I summon up
00:17:04
Speaker
Like a magical rift of energy and I cast Dispel Magic and I peep out a sort of like leaping in the air, two guns firing style, trying to dispel magic and fall. At the portal, okay, roll table please. Hadouken. We're just going for like a spell attack on this, is that the plan? Yeah, yeah, we'll go with that.
00:17:24
Speaker
18 okay, yeah, it makes further contact with let's say the kind of left hand side of this wall And you hear a screech from this creature with the tentacles and a mouth As it does that and see the corner of the portal starts almost disintegrate as the blue portal starts to shrink down smaller and smaller and smaller and gets to quite a small size So it's almost halved in size at this point as well. Okay, and I'll I'll just shimmy myself into the room Obviously the shield still got all the light on it. Yeah, and I'm just gonna
00:17:55
Speaker
In and then take a step to my left so that Robin and Talia can get a good sight out of the room and I'm just going to like shimmy my shield around as though to try and see if the light is affecting them in any way. Is it? Does it count as sunlight? It's just light. Okay yeah cool. Anything else you want to do mate? No I'm just waving that tauntingly.
00:18:17
Speaker
These thoughts, these things, he's trying to penetrate into your brain and you can tell he's trying it twice now.
High-Stakes Decisions
00:18:22
Speaker
I'm going to frenzy and come up to this guy and just kind of try and swing at his tentacally face. Okay, he goes him. I'm also going to reckless as well so he's going to have, everyone's going to have advantage on me. And 16. That misses. Second attack. 17. Hits. Okay, going for the career.
00:18:23
Speaker
Cool.
00:18:45
Speaker
17 it is. If you crit and absolutely murder this guy I'm so messed up. That's all they can roll for man in my horrible state. 13. Oh no, how would you 13 points of damage? How the hell would I survive? How about 13 points of damage? 13. Cool, yep, okay. That's all I can do.
00:19:05
Speaker
Okay, lovely thank you very much. Talia is going to try and she's running up behind Rob and still nowhere near the end of this corridor yet because she was right at the back so she can't really do much there. There she shall stay for now. Straight up, steel for your turn.
00:19:20
Speaker
I am going too friendly to begin with so I can do that now and yeah you know what I'm also gonna go reckless let's go for this all right so first attack 16
00:19:41
Speaker
Okay, second attack. No, he's pretty! He's Chris! My username stands true for once. 23 points of damage. Fucking hell.
00:19:57
Speaker
A big wisp of the smoke starts to fall apart from the second swing, absolutely catch it through. It's chest splits open, you can see light through it. It seems this top half of its body seems to be hanging on by a wisp, if you will. That is your turn, Shader. Thank you very much. I hope they will attack this thing. Yep. 18. It hits. Five points of magical bludgeon damage. You just punch the little gab and falls apart into two halves.
00:20:23
Speaker
He just disappears into smoke and goes. I was five points of damage away function. Three! Okay, so this is the second kind of wispy creature near the portal. So Arthur moves close to the portal in case that one leaving Drago to face the big bad. That's another 18 to hit. Another nine points of magical bludgeoning damage. Lovely. Can it make a DC 14 content grow? It fails. Okay, it's done.
00:20:52
Speaker
Thank you very much. This creature is off against you. Drago has got advantage. Has got advantage. Not to sway you. This creature has taken destruction and damage from you.
00:21:10
Speaker
and quickly from its left hand, a lightning bolt just fires towards your face. Can you make a dexterity saving throw please, Drago? I really don't want to. But, how's a 20? 20 is fine, thank you. You're half as much of a successful one. Oh, what, half as much? Oh, fuck! For a 16, that has been halved. That doesn't get halved again, because it's lighting, particularly.
00:21:41
Speaker
to your face, you let her sum up. Yeah, that's his turn, that's his turn. And it's the end of that one, drop me your turn, what do you like to hear? I come around the corner, I see this, and I go, Claude, I see the portal, well, I wouldn't have known it shrunk, but I would say to Claude, Claude, can you do anything about that? I would assume it's the God Squad, that's what he can do. And I will then, I will then, yeah, cast more prayers at it. Can I just confirm, Mark? This thing is level with Drago, correct? Great, I'm gonna try and, I'm gonna shoot it and try and push it through the portal.
00:22:09
Speaker
Okay. 18 to hit. Oh, that hits. Okay. It takes 13 points of piercing damage and can it make a DC 16 strength saving pro, please? It fails. Cool. It moves into the portal. Do I get opportunity? Yes, and it takes another 6 points of force damage. I think Velfyr gets options. Oh yeah, I do. I know he hasn't left your round.
00:22:30
Speaker
Cool, so that's a 19. 18, 18 points of damage as it was by Lee. Thank you Robin. And that thing's in the portal, right? It's against the portal.
00:22:45
Speaker
back. It's to hit against the portal and you've pushed it back against it. Yes. I would have pushed it into it. I can move up to 20 feet. First of all, I can't move it into the portal. It's like you've pushed it against the wall. I've done the best I can. It would move further if it could. Anything else you want to do, mate? Yeah, I'm going to shoot it again. That's only 12 to hit, unfortunately. That misses, unfortunately. The arrow just hits the portal behind you and actually shatters. That shatters against it. Quick spin back round the corridor.
00:23:15
Speaker
Okay, Robin, that's the end of your turn. This creature is here with a bit of a stun, doesn't it? It doesn't get a go, that's the end of its go. But through the bottle. When you say it's shrunk, is it? It's half the size, so it's one, two, three of the squares, 15 feet. Another one of these creatures. Piazz. Top of the round.
00:23:45
Speaker
Claude. Right, good. Hail Mary. The last possible chance of casting this will be another Dispel Magic. Okay. In the direction of the portal. 26. 26, okay. You hit the portal again and it continues to shrink down, gets to a certain point.
00:24:06
Speaker
to full size again so it's opened up to this full 25 of it again so you've got it down to almost like a person's size like a doorway and then all the energy seems to spark started to come out. Does that come down his face? He looks so...
Emotional Battle Climax
00:24:21
Speaker
I thought you were being really cunning with that and just like the look of your face like oh god
00:24:28
Speaker
That's it, no? Okay. I'm really low on options now. Now it comes back more powerful. Okay, so that's my turn. I'm just going to shimmy it a bit more into the corner and keep waving my shield of light. Drago, your turn. This is my last stand now. Going to face this guy straight up to, I've got three attacks and I'm reckless in all of them, so let's fucking do this. There we go. Wow, now you won, so that's a good time to use my advantage on that. For a 17, when he's got 25, thank you. I'm going to go straight
00:24:58
Speaker
for the damage. I'll keep tapping the dice here. That is shit. Six, sevens. Four, fifteen. Fifteen, yep, I got that down. Okay. Second attack. Two, nope. Two, so now I miss with a ten. Third attack is awful, man. I am not rolling.
00:25:21
Speaker
Oh my god. That's 40. That misses unfortunately so only the first attack damages which is 15 points of damage. Well up to your pals. Lovely thank you very much is that all your turn? That is everything I gave everything. Talia got a couple bits of movement she's going to 5, 10, 15 she's gonna see look into the room see what's happening for a second
00:25:44
Speaker
looking square in the eyes and just nod her head. She moves into the corner of the room here and shoots a, she's going to have a book open at that point as well. She's going to be reading from this. It takes a couple of seconds and she can see sparks start to appear on her fingers as she reads louder and louder and louder and then confusedly kind of flaps her hand in the direction of where this creature is and to cast, oh my god.
00:26:18
Speaker
Drag as well. Can you make a dexterity saving throw please? That little bitch! 19. Okay take half damage. Yeah that doesn't fill me with confidence. You take 16 points of lightning
00:26:44
Speaker
You smell this weird fleshy smell, partially from Drago, partially from this creature, as it takes the full brunt of that lightning to their face. That's the end of Talia's turn, Shane, your turn. Okay, so you are just looking at the accumulation of enemies, seeing which one of his comrades is probably the most kind of shit beaten up right now. We're going to come just on the other side of Drago and go to attack the one that he'd been
00:27:14
Speaker
having go after the one that just got hit with a lightning bolt to the face. So I am friendly, so I get the attack. I'm also recklessly on-load as well. So rolling over the advantage. First attack. 22. 22 hits, yep. Damage roll. No, 17. 17. 17 points of damage for the first one. Okay. Second attack. Ooh, yeah. 21 to hit. 21 does here. Damage roll. That 23 points of damage. 23 points of damage. Attack. On the second attack. On the second attack. Fuck me, okay. Third attack.
00:27:42
Speaker
Erm, that's 90. So 12, that's 21 points of damage on the third attack. This is what's called a Nova attack. I'm also going to use Action Surge.
00:27:56
Speaker
I like this. I'm going to put that on there as well. Yep. Fucking well. Can I wreckless attack on these as well? Yes. I'm just doing the wreckless attack. 27 to hit for the first attack. That's 20 points of damage for that one. 20 points, okay. Second attack. Yeah, 23 today. Yeah, 16 points of damage for that. And I can do no more. Do you want to know how much damage you did in total in that round? Please tell me, because I robbed well. 87 points of damage.
00:28:25
Speaker
All right, well done. I hope it's done. You have just taken swing after swing after swing. The tent because that was moused up and get cut off. Warren's still got to hang on by a bit. It's still got to stop you. Cuts through one of the hands. The book should have been forced to the ground. It is still alive. Come on. Come on. Pulsing and then just kind of bawling out of it really. That is a stop man.
00:28:58
Speaker
Alfie's gonna take a kill again! So, Alfie's going to attack this one here. Just with a flick. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. I've got some things to do. I thought it was an legendary reaction. I see, really. He gets sick before standing. That's not for you, it's a bad thing for me. For you, it's been screwy.
00:29:23
Speaker
As you go to attack this creature, it turns it's one working lesson. The one who's going to hang out, I imagine. I, towards you, you're not a mean to charm, are you? I get advantage of games being charmed. Okay, don't for this role. Okay. You don't for this role. It is as is. Wisdom. Wisdom saving throw, please. Six.
00:29:49
Speaker
I'll explain why it wasn't. Yeah, that's fine. I think I know why. That you are charmed now, and you... I can use it now. You just here. No, you're gonna knock me out. Kill them all. Kill them all. You got advantage. As it turns towards you. You still got your turn. For Elphir, attack Strygo. Yeah, with advantage, mate.
00:30:13
Speaker
You get advantage as well. Does a 15 hit you? No. That's first attack, second attack. It's 14 a hit, no. Right, I'm going to spend a Kai point to do Flurry Floats. It's fair, it's fair, it's fair. He's following what it said. Yeah, I would do the same.
00:30:33
Speaker
Okay, that's better. So 22. Anything you do to me is gonna knock me out. So 22. Seven points of magical bludgeoning damage. That's not half though. I'm down. Three, okay. Oh what, nope. That's not half. Look for down.
00:30:52
Speaker
Three points of magical positioning. Now I'm going to do my second attack on Buru Blo. Critical hit. I've cancelled that critical.
00:31:07
Speaker
Have you? I don't know. A reaction, so just explain what you've done there. So I'm using my sentinel of death's door ability. So as a reaction, anything I can see within 30 feet who suffers a critical hit, I can turn that hit into a normal hit. You've got to do that for a while. And I can use this feature five times. Don't use it against me. Don't do normal damage. Don't use it against me. Take four points of magical budget from me. To the teeth. And almost shoot a little smile on his face.
Battle Resolution
00:31:32
Speaker
So Drago's been talked down. By Elfie.
00:31:35
Speaker
Yeah. Has this happened before? I feel this happened. Something like this happened. This wasn't on the channel. No, I punched Robin last time on the channel. By accident, yes. Oh, you did. I've never given you a chance. This is all by accident, by the way. That's all my attacks, however, gonna charge almost, sort of looking angrily, charging towards you two.
00:31:53
Speaker
to Claude and Talia. Yes, that's Talia there as well. Yeah, the few people I can see. Yeah, absolutely, that's what you do. Thank you very much. Elf here. That's the end of your turn. He's going to do it. This creature turns after turning to Elf here. He's going to turn around Shader. And it's going to, with this one working claw,
00:32:18
Speaker
Two of the fingers which have been cut off by yourself, Shado, has this one finger and stump really. It's just trying to point the stump at you and the thin green ray will just start to leak out of his finger towards you, moving directly towards you. Right. Can you make a dexterity saving throw please? Okay. In total. Yeah. You take some damage.
00:32:48
Speaker
Okay. How much health do you have? Oh no. Remaining or...? Remaining. Okay. 64. You feel this... I don't like it, let's keep going. This thin stream touches your body above the shoulder.
00:33:18
Speaker
pour from that joint as it spreads through your body it continues to pour as your whole arm becomes dust and falls away as it spreads up and over your body it continues to spread down your legs as one leg just falls to dust as well as it spreads up and over the other leg just falls to dust as well as it moves up through your body it continually moves up until it's just your head and then your head falls to the ground you become
00:33:49
Speaker
An area of dust you have been disintegrated. Your axe falls part of the ground and moving. Your gear comes disintegrated while the axe remains. If this damage reduces its targets to zero hit points it is disintegrated. Disintegrated feature and everything it is wearing and carrying except magic items if you have anything else it doesn't.
00:34:19
Speaker
That's just happened. We need to finish this combat. And we can pick this apart in a second. That's right. And carry on. That's... That's... Fuck! I will remove my holographic miniature from the table. It's become a holographic stand! And there goes... err... To be fair, man, if that is you dead, you had a hell of a... I went out ringing God damn it! Let's finish something, Robin, your turn.
00:34:49
Speaker
No one's going to lose a shit. I see this. I see Shane, but I don't see the part of that. Scream, Robin, scream. And I am incredibly angry. Do I see this thing looking really, really bad? Yes, yes, if you want to understand it. OK, because a driver in front of him isn't priming on the floor. You can see him right there. You can see the state that this thing is in as well. Very pretty. OK. I found the black point on it. That was a five. Is that your final blood point? That's a 28. That hits. Please kill it.
00:35:15
Speaker
I'm going to use an acid, by the way. OK. 16 points of damage. It had five points of damage for me. I'll show you that. If you do roll five more points of damage, it would have been 100% kill. How would you like to kill this album that you just... As I spin round the corner, I see the dust and I let out... Robin, for the first time, he's called Amina, just drops and he lets out this visceral kind of scream. The arrow.
00:35:43
Speaker
is fired with malice. He had his hands on a silver arrow, drops across to the acid arrow, pulls it back.
Post-Battle Reflections
00:35:49
Speaker
Thanks for this final tentacle. And it hits the portal.
00:35:56
Speaker
inside of it the portal ruptures and a split seems to appear inside it and the body of this creature still as it's dying trying to keep its claws to hold on but it's just the all black passes just against the side of this portal getting sucked in as does the two remaining creatures inside the portal the portal then flickers as it did earlier when Paul attacked it flickers just twice and then she disappears and this just fine dust
00:36:26
Speaker
Sand starts to fall from where it is and there is stillness and there is quiet and there is nothing. I still can't. No, you're no longer a child because the creature has. So you come out of it and suddenly you're facing Claude entirely, yeah? On the back of that, I would say nothing and just walk into the room and I take the d4 potion off my hip joint and just pour it into Dario's mouth. Before that. And so I don't want to leave another friend today. Okay. That would be my very first thought, would be Dario back in the game. So before we do that,
00:36:53
Speaker
You immediately take 13 points of peeling from me. 26, make 26. No you can't take the second one. 13 points on the first one and then...
00:37:12
Speaker
And now the second round of comment. Yeah. And the second board will open, so it just falls to his knees. You sit up and... Do I see the dust in front of me? You also see Shader's axe. This is such a harsh thing for me, right? What happened to Shader? Do I know what was happening whilst I was charmed?
00:37:43
Speaker
No, you weren't even facing that way. He's gone. Killed. My first time. I reached down to the axe and picked it up. How? The thing with the tentacle. I didn't see it. I was round the corner. I don't know. I took my shot. Did anyone see what happened to him? Did we know what this dust is a result of? Did anyone see what happened to him? I did.
00:38:11
Speaker
You can see Talia just tears falling down her eyes looking from the back of the room, not moved back against the wall next to Claude, and that's Claude you've moved forward to. Oh, and everyone's straight to the ashes, but I didn't want to throw up. Yeah, it's fine. Everyone's kind of around there, but Talia's still back against the wall. The creature that it reached out and he just fell to dust. That's him, that's all.
00:38:39
Speaker
Drago goes over to where the portal was on the wall and he takes his sword out and he just screams in blood curdling pain and just slashes his sword
00:38:56
Speaker
And again, and again, just in pure anger. Just letting the whole heat of battle rush over him. He's exhausted, he's got a point of exhaustion from his frenzy. And he just lets loose his anger and just goes for it. And then when the sword drops down, because his arms are exhausted, he then proceeds to beat the wall with his hands. So Elthir turned, whilst driver's hand, Elthir turns to Claude. And Elthir, his normal composure is,
00:39:25
Speaker
broken he's not he's not crying but he whether he can cry who knows um but he looks a good can your master not bring him back good lord yeah well the master he isn't control that i will perform a ritual and maybe the master will take his soul i don't know but what about bringing him back the master cannot bring people back
00:39:54
Speaker
like that. He's very powerful. He may be able to, but I've never known it to happen. In our world, you could bring people back. I decision your world, elven ears. I'm sorry. The last person I saw what turned to dust has been dust ever since. What else is gonna happen? Does anyone have anything we can put his remains in? Robin, do you have anything in your bag?
00:40:26
Speaker
selection of urns. Gracefully put his remains in. I will, if you can give me one moment I would like to perform a sending ritual on him and I will discuss it. What does this ritual do? It's the same thing I was doing to the bodies outside. His body and his soul is not of your world. This will protect him from becoming like the creatures what just hurt him.
00:40:55
Speaker
That's all it does. Fair enough. We should let Claude do it. Shane does better than that. Fine, but we're gonna bury him. Knew his hometown. As you say. So I'll cast Gentle Repose, and he's protected. He can't be decayed, he can't become undead. And I'll slowly put his ashes into a selection of various ceremonial urns that I carry with me. Okay.
00:41:20
Speaker
Charlie's going to watch a lot of this and start to pant. See her fists start to tense more and more and more and she's going to run out of the room. I'm going to follow him but only as far as he's got the urn. Sorry, who's got the urn? You can take it if you would like. Robin, you take the urn. You can take it if you would like. I don't say anything but I take the urn and I put it in the bag of holding.
00:41:51
Speaker
I'm going to see the captain now. Tyler's already in front of you at that point. Is it just you going? Yeah. As you look down the corridor and you can see her sprinting at full pace down this corridor, she turns the corner, you turn the corner, she turns the corner into Drilannus where Drilannus is as well. And as you come around the corner, she is on top of him punching him in the face.
00:42:18
Speaker
Just pull her off. Yeah, she's legit. She's 14. She's no real. She's just swinging in. Eyes are bloodshot. Tears falling down her face. Just screaming at this man. He's just looking confused. What happened? I'm so sorry. What is wrong with her? I think it's best if you come with me and we'll wait outside. My fellow travellers, they all need a moment. Righto. But you're alive.
00:42:47
Speaker
We are for now, yes. And it isn't? Not anymore. We need to get you back to Clay Peak, I think. Yes, I think that's... I think that's best. We doing anything else in the room? No, once Drago's given the urn to Robin, he will just walk slowly. Out. Out is already outside. The hold. The keep. That's out of the keep. Robin, you're...
Podcast Conclusion
00:43:15
Speaker
You don't want to sit in there?
00:43:19
Speaker
As I've done before, as a matter of superstition, I take out a coin and I just say safe passage my friend and I leave the coin where he fell and I turn around and follow him.

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.
00:46:01
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.
00:46:17
Speaker
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. Check out his work on Etsy. Search Crafts by Claude.
