Theories on the Giants of Zendric
00:00:49
Speaker
Well, you see, the likelihood that the stories about the downfall of the Giants of Zendric is true is miniscule at best.
00:01:00
Speaker
The dragons could not possibly have organized in such a capacity, nor had the resources to wipe out an empire as large as the giants. No, certainly it was some violent uprising by the elves, internal strife amongst the giants, or simply natural elements that brought them down. But to say that dragons came and attacked them, preposterous.
Podcast Introduction
00:01:28
Speaker
Associate Professor Tranen Daveton. A very smart note. Hello and welcome to Eberron Renewed, a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast set in the Eberron campaign setting. I'm your dungeon master, Eric. And I'm Philip. I'm Randy. I'm Jeff. And welcome to another episode.
Arrival at the Desert Pyramid
00:01:44
Speaker
Gentlemen, what happened last time? We got to a pyramid.
00:01:48
Speaker
Yeah, we touched down in the desert and we met up with Barash and Orgev again. And we had to walk a really long way to get to the entrance to a tunnel. Yeah, we didn't walk. We took the airship. In order to get into the pyramid, we had to go so far from the pyramid and then walk back.
00:02:05
Speaker
to the pyramid, but underground. Right. And through a tunnel with the, uh, the murals similar to the, yeah. And a really sad poignant call back to simpler time when Barrett could spend hours studying murals. Yep. I wasn't going to bring it down like that, but yeah, that happened. And then purposes. Then you found for sarcophagi with.
00:02:34
Speaker
The word guardian written in Elvish on the side. Barak actually saw the magical corpse is about to burst through. And. Yes, Brescia is with you all. Mm hmm. And good call out. I should probably get his character sheet pulled up. He would not be left behind or he didn't want to be. He would have been left behind. He would have. He's more cooperative than some of our some of our sidekicks have been. But he really wanted to come. So we let him.
Discovery of the Sarcophagi
00:03:02
Speaker
Um, that was the whole, what about how, what if Orianna finds out that he got to come? Well, then she gets to deal with disappointment like a teenager does. Right. But last time we disappointed Orianna, she went out at night and killed a guy. Right. But there's, she's not going to kill somebody on the boat just out of anger. I mean, we don't know what her life is about Oregon.
00:03:22
Speaker
Like, okay, maybe Orgov, you're right. Everybody else on the ship, you're correct. She has some sort of affection for her. Cassian and Charlie, probably Jace. Well, just for practical reasons, you don't want to kill the guy who can fly the ship. But Orgov, who knows what her feelings are on Kire.
00:03:44
Speaker
Well, now how far, how far past the morning are we? Five years, five years ago. Okay. So she wasn't a little, yeah, something like five years. Cause it's four years setting, but we've been going for a bit. She would have been really young, but she's also an orphan. We don't know what happened to her parents. No, you're right.
00:04:02
Speaker
that might've died in the morning. Well, this was all a good thought experiment. Yeah, this was fun. Thanks for listening, everybody. And we'll see you next week. And we'll be dead when we get back to the ship. Okay, so yeah, I need initiative from everybody. Huzzah! Which one's that?
00:04:25
Speaker
Oh my gosh. Natural one. Oh. 24. 24. 24.
Battle with the Undead Guardians
00:04:34
Speaker
And a one on the second row. Six. Six.
00:04:39
Speaker
My Dex is Yeah, 10 Wow Don't call it a comeback And then Baddies Too hard What are the names I didn't say Trevor they've
00:05:04
Speaker
I think we both go with Trevor. I don't know. That was the first one in my head too. I don't know. We just missed Trevor. Because canonically two Trevor characters have died in the course of these podcasts. That's true.
00:05:18
Speaker
Lance and Steve. Okay, so Booyah, you are up first. So let me describe, let me paint you a weird picture. So you're in a very dark, dry room. These four sarcophagi, the lids who just exploded, and the figures that you see before you. One seems to- How much damage did they take from the explosion?
00:05:41
Speaker
They were the cause of the explosion so I mean a bomb is destroyed by blowing up So one of them looks to be like skeletal, but the skin is dried out and kind of stretched over the bone Very grotesque looking wearing black fairly ornate armor that seems to still be holding up the other one is
00:06:06
Speaker
like all skull up here with like blue flames but like bluish blackish flames coming out of the skull and they're wearing kind of lighter armor and they have like long claws that they've kind of burst out with the first one weapon wise has a long sword and a long bow on its back the other one that burst out actually is
00:06:38
Speaker
The other one that burst out like for a second it looks like it's solid and then it kind of swirls for a second so you get a sense that it's incorporeal but it's like blackish cloud when it twitches and dissipates.
00:06:51
Speaker
Um, and the last one is, um, blue with like red eyes. And this one also seems to be, uh, uh, incorporeal, uh, specter. So, so there are four, four, each one more different than the last big boy are, are they, are they just their elf, uh, fish size. Oh, oh, fair enough.
00:07:12
Speaker
Hey, just because it was written in Elvish, the elves could have very well written runes for the giants. The sarcophagi were Elvish-sized and these figures are Elvish-sized. So, now that you have the lay of the land... Alright, I'm gonna mark the first one. Okay.
00:07:29
Speaker
and Booyan no like dead thing called silver flame may go away turn on dead okay dc-17 that affect all four in the group
00:07:45
Speaker
Yes. They have to, they just have to not, they're trying not to run away. Yeah. Doesn't destroy them until it gets higher, let alone. Unless you got that one. Well, if they're CR half, they're going to die, but otherwise they're fine. It's DC 17 wisdom. Wisdom? Okay. Let's pass. Let's pass.
00:08:09
Speaker
for some wise Kelly's or whatever they were. He just rolled four really good rolls. I sat here in Washington. Feeling good today. 17, 14, 14. Sadly they all. Backing up to get some distance between him and them. The bluish one with red eyes snickers at your proclamation.
00:08:33
Speaker
We wielded the flame before you were even a thought in your great ancestors' mind. It's your turn. Whose great ancestor is thinking about them? All my ancestors were just pretty good. You understood what I meant. I didn't have any great ancestors. He breaks his gravelly voice. Let us not be botanic here. I was trying to be menacing. Moving on. It was, it was menacing.
00:09:01
Speaker
Which is closest, or are they kind of in a line? The one with the stretched out skin and the one with the flaming skull are the two closest. Okay, I'm gonna do an old hit that I haven't done in a while. I actually scratched that. The blue one that just mocked Booyah, that's up there with the stretched skin one.
00:09:21
Speaker
Okay, but stretched skin is still close. I'm gonna give a shot. I feel like anybody with flames might not be heard, but the other one... I haven't used radiant damage in a while, and this thing's undead, so... In Dex's experience, he's going to invoke that, which does radiant damage, and I'm going to strike at the stretched skin one, okay? Yeah, 26. That will hit.
00:09:57
Speaker
It literally has been long enough that I've forgotten how many sneak attacks I roll at this level. Let me double check. I have to be drinking combat for two and a half months. How many levels of rogue do you have? I'm rogue 11. So, it'll be five. Five, seven, one.
00:10:21
Speaker
Nope, it's 6 out of 11. Alright, cool, now I know. Alright, so now I can... And again, this is all radiant damage. 33 points of ra... Oh, wait.
00:10:43
Speaker
39 points of radiant damage. Nice. Do we notice if that is extra painful? It doesn't hit it extra hard. Okay, in that case... Action surge, same target, different target okay? Either way? Yeah, you get another action. I'm gonna use my action surge, the new fun thing.
00:11:07
Speaker
I'm gonna think about Solana. Yeah. Really harness that power. And then swing at the other one. Okay. The other one is closest, Blue Flame. Talkie Talks. Nope. Probably not. That's an 11. Yeah, that's not gonna hit him. Guys, I just learned this. Give me some time. Sorry. Guys, I just learned how to do this. It's not. It's not. And I... I mean, that's it. I got no reason to get closer or farther away.
00:11:36
Speaker
OK, that means it is now the one in the back that is kind of twitching into black smoke. It is going to. It's going to rush up to the front of its companions, and I need everybody to give me a wisdom saving throw. Luckily, I didn't pick my boots.
00:12:08
Speaker
21 Wow 12 well natural 20 nice okay so is this oppression is this charm or frightened this no this is just a psychic like cool um
00:12:31
Speaker
Okay. So it rushes up and it kind of twitches for a second and black energy kind of infused with, uh, whitish light emits out from its head and you, all it passes through, but Barak and Barasha take the full brunt of it. And so I'm gonna need some more dice. Um, Hey for my 20. Yes. Can I just get my accident surge back?
00:13:01
Speaker
Um, yeah, I'll allow that. Okay. Nothing's gonna horribly mess up my encounters. Hey, I'm in it to fight today. I want to do this. So, Barash and Barak take 20 points of psychic damage and...
00:13:25
Speaker
are stunned for one minute. You can make the saving throw at the end of each turn to end the effect. And stun is like, you can't take an action, right? You are considered incapacitated. You can speak falteringly, automatically fill any strength or deck saving throws, and attack rolls against the creature have advantage. So
00:13:54
Speaker
And then it's going to rush back, kind of twitches and falls back again behind its compatriots. And you'll even use the 22 and they gate what was about to happen, so. Sure. Otherwise I would have been like, how about Birk can move and stuff?
00:14:11
Speaker
Okay, so that is it for its turn. So now we are on to Barashia, who is stunned. So he's going to make his wisdom saving throw to try and recreate. He does. So he kind of after a moment shakes it off.
00:14:29
Speaker
um and now it is the blue guy's turn so yeah and i'm sorry for my clear the blue guy and the blue flame guy are different different dudes yes okay um so he is going to he didn't hit him i did not i've done nothing to that guy he's he and i are copa said
00:14:59
Speaker
Okay, it's going to walk up two decks and it extends its hand and almost seeming to un-cheap from some other realm. A blue long sword appears like mid swing as he goes to slash at you. That's going to be a 25. Yes, it's one reaction per round, right? Yes. Okay, I'm going to half this damage, whatever it is, with my handy dodge. So 11 damage.
00:15:29
Speaker
halved so so seven or six and then he's gonna make his so he slashes at you you dodge avoiding most damage and on the backs when he comes back around again that's a nine so that's not gonna do it and then he's gonna use a bonus action to attack one more time boy 23 yep that hits
00:15:52
Speaker
Um, seven points of damage. Um, and, uh, now, well, I'll, oh, which deals an extra. Oh, oh good. Uh, add another 10 points of damage to that.
00:16:08
Speaker
Um so yeah on that final uh like he slashes at you misses the second time and you see the the red glow even brighter in his eyes as he lets out a scream and like two-handed baseball swings at you and just hits you with full force um but
00:16:25
Speaker
Because it's an incorporeal sword and there's no real resistance, that force that he had has left him kind of out of position doing that extra damage to you. So now it is Beric's turn. So go ahead and give me a Wisdom saving throw. 14. Nope. Nice. It is... Oh, I need to mark Borussia.
00:16:55
Speaker
So the Flaming Skull one is now going to, um, okay, so he's going to rush up into the thick of you all. Um, uh, I'm going to say Dex, you can have an attack of opportunity because he's going to rush up past you to get like in the middle of all of it. And I get advantage on this.
00:17:18
Speaker
So 20... 19. That's a hit. Alright. That was with my ribbon weave as though that needed elucidation. That was good as last time. 23. You cannot make them use your reaction. Opportunity tech is a reaction. You're right. Nevermind.
00:17:44
Speaker
So, okay. So it rushes up in the middle, and then you see it start to like, flex is the wrong word, but something's about to erupt out of it. This is actually some, you can't speak, but you know what's about to happen having studied the ways of the warlock. And just as you predict, dark tendrils erupt out of him, striking all of you. So I need everybody to make a strength saving
00:18:15
Speaker
Not a deck save to not get hit at all, huh? Not a thing. I'm boned. My strength is my worst stat.
Intensifying Combat
00:18:24
Speaker
Thirteen. Fifteen. Thirteen, fifteen. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I said that. So, sorry. Barashia... Passes. Barricades. Yeah.
00:18:47
Speaker
Barash has a plus nine to strength saving throws. So do I, but it didn't help me. Oh, I guess I, never mind. I was like, what? I have a plus nine to deck saving throws. Yeah, once that proficiency, proficiency bonus starts getting number. Okay, so you had a 15, 13 fail and Barash succeeded.
00:19:07
Speaker
So those of you that succeeded. What was the number? Well, I'm about to roll it. Those of you that succeeded take half damage. You two are going to take the full damage and you cannot take reactions until. What was the DC? Oh, it was DC 14. OK, so I passed. I failed. Oh, yes. Sorry. Sorry. Got that. Well, did I pass that with a 12? Yes. If there was a way that he passed and I failed, I would work under a number. Working with some weird numbers. It's a golf saving throw.
00:19:39
Speaker
So yeah, half damage and you don't suffer any effects. You can't take a reaction until the end of your next turn. Obviously you're... 20 points of damage as these dark tendrils come out and just hit all of you in the brunt of the chest.
00:20:01
Speaker
Grasha and Dex kind of plant their feet and take the full force though. I mean I'm wearing gorgeous dragon skin. That is sure you look fabulous. You just chipping away at old Dex though guys. Just so you know what's happening. And now the guy with the stretch skin is going to stretch arm skin. Stretch arm skin. I like it.
00:20:24
Speaker
It has a long sword in its hand. It's gonna rush up and swing at Dex I mean I put a hurt on him earlier only six so it gets frustrated It reaches out with its hand and like plants its hand on your face 18 is that an attack? Yeah miss miss Okay
00:20:53
Speaker
You're falling. You're crazy. That's true. Um, okay. So now I'm going to need Booyah to go because we're back around to the top of the initiative order. Okay. So there's one right in front of me. Right in the middle of all of you. Um, like five foot, five feet away. Yeah. Okay. So not adjacent, but there's some distance that changes my plan. All right. Booyah is going to
00:21:25
Speaker
create a floating spectral rapier. And it's going to attack the one that's in the middle of us. And 15. That is a hit. Oh wait, no. Let's miss.
00:21:52
Speaker
All right, so it's there. Let's see. All right. I'm also going to. That was a bonus action. I'm going to go ahead and. Berwick is right next to me that I can touch him.
00:22:19
Speaker
Um, if you move, yes. Perik is wherever he began. Um, you will invoke an attack of opportunity from the guy in the middle. Okay. Oh, where the heck is it? Would you like to do that? Yeah, I'm going to move. Okay. Then don't roll my attack. 18.
00:22:50
Speaker
That's a hit. You take 13 points of necrotic damage as these like ghostly claws. Oh, disadvantage on attack. I'm sorry. Oh, 17. Still a hit. OK, 13 points of necrotic damage. And as my action, I'm going to. Oh, crap, I didn't have to move.
00:23:23
Speaker
I'm gonna give Beric a Beacon of Hope. He gets advantage on... It's a Wisdom Save, right? Yep. Yeah, he gets advantage on Wisdom Save. Nice. And that's it. Okay. And he doesn't get to make one right now or anything. Just on his next saving throw. And also, he will get it also. Dex, you get it also. It's gonna last for up to a minute.
00:23:52
Speaker
Heck yeah. I need advantage on saving this. Okay. It's just wisdom? Yes. Yes. And if I heal you and the next get a chance, you will get the maximum healing allowed by my spell. Whoa. Don't you have one that heals for like a billion? You have a healing spell that's a, oh, but it has to be a cantrip if you're gonna cast two spells. Yeah, well I did a bonus and an action, so. Yes. Okay, this guy touched me with his bare hand without permission, so I'm going to hit him with my stick.
00:24:22
Speaker
I get combat if you want to swing I wouldn't a sword at me fine, but you put your bare hand on my bare face monster See your your bare face 12 that's a mess. Yeah, so oh no, I'm sorry. I haven't adding up. It's a 15 That's a hit awesome I'm singing plus six is my damage modifier my attack is fired
00:24:48
Speaker
Anyway, so that's a hit. So I hit him. Roll these. Four ones. I rolled two. Four ones, a two, a three, and a five. With anybody who can do quick math today, that's 14 points of damage. And I'm going to move off on my action surge right now. But I will use...
00:25:17
Speaker
Oh, that actually kills him. Oh! So yeah, you managed to... It doesn't look like it does much damage as like the ribbon loop wraps around him and you kind of yank it back and his head just pops off. Oh yeah, he's been dead for a while. So yeah, the rest of his bones crumble to the ground. Guys, I found their weak point. It's removing the head.
00:25:43
Speaker
Seems obvious now. I've said it out loud. I think that's everyone's weak point. It's not Dex's voice at all. I don't know what that was. The twitchy one that is twitching into black is going to...
00:26:06
Speaker
Dex, if you would like, you can use your reaction for an opportunity attack. Yes. They're coming at me. You won't have Uncanny Dodge for the rest of the round. It's okay. Okay. He's going past you. Okay. Oh, that's... Whoa!
00:26:27
Speaker
That's the dream. I rolled two natural 20s because I have advantage. I just want to make sure that the lister at home knows that I just rolled two. What does that mean? Do they both count? No. As can you make a game changing anything? Only if you ever roll double ones. You used to do that. Sure. Your world were just playing in it.
00:26:49
Speaker
It's a negotiation. I'll allow it if... I have no idea what it would use. A natural 24. Let me hit him first and then roll your damage. Much better. Yeah. Double it. 32, 64. Nice. 64 points of damage.
00:27:16
Speaker
Not enough to kill him, but definitely he felt it.
Orianna Joins the Battle
00:27:21
Speaker
As you like to falter him a bit and you see the the magical energy contained in your dragon shard, the purplish one, kind of arc out as it passes through him and you see him wince as he continues on his way.
00:27:38
Speaker
So we'll get to your 20 here in a second. This thing rushes up to Beric and touches Beric on the face. He can't. I'm wearing a mask. Touches Beric on the mask. It was worth a shot. I'm talking to Mouse right back at him. It's metals reflective. I got a mask. I got a hood. Can't touch my face. It's true. Can't touch his face. Oh, no, no.
00:28:06
Speaker
shut up i'm mad now and you you feel this thing in your mind i need an intelligent saving person too many things in my mind i can't feel it in my hair you feel seeing two different songs
00:28:21
Speaker
Natural 19, so 21. All right, so it kind of recoils as your mind fights its presence off. You need to quit touching people. It hasn't worked for him yet. Totally the mask guy. These guys need to quit touching. All guys need to quit just touching people. How about that? Okay, and it's going to use the rest of its movement to bounce like 10 feet away from Barrick.
00:28:50
Speaker
Um, so now it is... Booyah's right next to me, does he get an opportunity tip? Um, Booyah doesn't have a melee weapon out, so if you want to try... Kick him, Booyah! Punch him! Just headbutt him in the nards! Uh, Barash's turn. So, uh, Barash is gonna give this thing chase, uh, the thing that just touched Barak. Um, and so he's going to, um... This is the one that I already walloped.
00:29:26
Speaker
rude, just rude. So as the thing runs by, he points at it. And you see the like an image like a draconic, I've almost said like, draconic mark, but not a dragon mark, like, you see like a spectral image of Bahamut swirl around this thing and kind of implant on it. And then brasher rushes up
00:29:40
Speaker
Right? Ah yes, the one that you waltzed as it ran by. Yeah, take the easy kill, Barashah.
00:29:52
Speaker
raising his scimitar high in the air and bringing it down hard. That's a 26. So Hunter's Mark at level two. Oh, that's awesome.
00:30:20
Speaker
Extra d6. Natural 20 with the polymorph rapier. That was how I felt with Dracure every time I hit something that wasn't with the Vorpal Sword. At least once I hit with just the flametongue and it's natural 20. Of course then when you did hit it with a Vorpal Sword with natural 20. We got legaleased out of it.
00:30:47
Speaker
Who wants that jerk we used to play Dungeons and Dragons with that dude? Okay, it is now the blue guy with red eyes turn. He's right up on Dex, so and he still hasn't taken damage. 23 to hit. Yeah, yeah, this time.
00:31:16
Speaker
First one's only 5 damage. Second attack, that's only a 11. And then... I'm gonna make another one. So that's gonna be 21. Matches means a hit, right? Yep. Then it's a hit! So he misses his second attack again, his eyes glow.
00:31:42
Speaker
14 damage. What is this thing that gets three attacks and rolls 3d8 when it hits? Only on the final attack, and he's left himself open, so if you attack it... 14? Yes. Like I said last time, but you decided to attack the white instead. You touched my face, Eric. Fine. Eric, go and give me a saving throw with advantage.
00:32:07
Speaker
Yay! 1220! What would you like to do? Go back in time to utilize the last two rounds? If anybody has any good ideas for my natural 20, it's still out there too. I could use it. I mean, can I act? Sure, I'll let you take an act. I think that's a great use of it. Yes, okay.
00:32:31
Speaker
So, I don't even have a weapon out. So what can we do without having to draw a weapon? We're gonna cast a spell. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna cast a spell. And the spell we're gonna cast... Nope, that's not...
00:33:01
Speaker
or uh i swear if you just saw the lady in half again is it doing something helpful what casting spells doing magic i i have oh go ahead Fisher um
00:33:19
Speaker
Beric sort of snapping out of it reaches out to the darkness around him and draws it in and the shadows sort of leave him like flames. And out of courtesy for my
00:33:45
Speaker
Oh wait, everyone in here can see in the dark, so that is new. I put them on earlier. I'm casting Shadows of Memorial. So it's just... It's an effect. I don't actually keep a lot of attack spells because I do all my attacking with swords. Fair enough. So the room is just in darkness? No, I didn't cast darkness. I'm reused in shadowy flames. Okay.
00:34:10
Speaker
I can raise and lower the light, I can lower the light level but it wouldn't make any difference because I assume these things can see in the dark and all of us can see in the dark so it could just be aesthetic. Which works great on an audio medium. Although actually I don't have any idea if Barashah can see in the dark because I would have known about Dragonborn. Dragonborn can't. So that would be a yeah a detriment. How bright can you make it?
00:34:33
Speaker
I can't make it bright. I can only lower the darkness. It's shadows of Moil. It's not. Snap my goggles in half. We have monocles of night, so no depth perception whatsoever. I have to imagine it wasn't great depth perception in the first place. Yeah, fair enough. You were going to say something. I have a thing for your 20 that would be beneficial for you all in the context of this fight. I'm listening. But would be interesting from a story scale.
00:35:05
Speaker
interesting and beneficial yeah okay okay so just gonna insert uh who just went okay so just gonna insert them in right after barracks turn um so there's um
00:35:28
Speaker
darkness up above you all because obviously you're, well, you're not in too big of a hurry. You just hear footsteps coming up from behind you. And the direction you're facing, you hear footsteps coming up behind you and you see a figure leap through the air and just a sickening, stabbing sound as the eternity, the flaming skull guy. Let's see.
00:36:00
Speaker
You want to go and roll an attack roll for me since you're controlling and all. That is 25. So yeah, that is a hit. As you see a young redheaded girl comes slamming down with her spear through the chest of this thing. Go and roll damage for me.
00:36:46
Speaker
So that'll be 13. 13 piercing damage. That's relevant. Yep. Also, this is not a magical weapon. I don't think we've ever been enchanted. So I don't know if that's relevant. It's silver though, and that's always kind of yep. So yeah, don't forget it's silver. Remember you gave her the silver tip specifically for some reason. I do remember that. Yep.
00:36:57
Speaker
That is a new thing.
Tactical Magic Use
00:37:09
Speaker
I didn't want to carry it around anymore.
00:37:15
Speaker
and you see her kind of twist the spear and pull it up. The thing's not dead yet. It hadn't been hit up until this point. So, um, but yeah, you all have an extra friend. Um, it's, it's turned now though. Um, so Brasha and Orianna are up on it. Um, it is going to,
00:37:48
Speaker
It's going to recoil away from Orianna since Orianna was the first person to actually land a blow on this thing. And it's going to hold its hand up in front of it and you see Locust flies like all manner of sickening insects flying out and begin flying all over Orianna. And so she needs to make a constitution saving throw. Oh.
00:38:21
Speaker
Fifteen. She actually passes. So.
00:38:39
Speaker
half damage on a successful save. So, yeah, the bugs are flying all over her, biting. She begins to let out kind of an exclamation, like she's not freaking out or anything, but definitely, this is uncomfortable. Probably also for Beric. It tends to happen out here in the world where we tried to keep you from being... 33 points of damage.
00:39:15
Speaker
Um, and that brings us back around to Booyah. Okay. Uh, bonus action. The one that's by decks, my spiritual weapon is still floating around there. Okay. It's going to attack the one by decks. That's going to be 20. That is a hit. It's going to take, uh, seven damage.
00:39:45
Speaker
And Booyah is going to weave his way over to, I mean... You already went over to Beric. I know, but I'm... By looking at my friends, can I... Booyah would probably be able to tell which one is, like, worse off for damage, like, who's hurting the worst. Yeah, I mean, you've been with him quite a bit. I mean, where are you all at, damage-wise?
00:40:08
Speaker
Uh, Barak is... Barak is a little above half stone. There's a ways above half stone. I'm just a touch above half as well. How many decks is Barak's off? Oh yeah, Brash has taken 20. I'm 60 points down. That's much worse off. Okay, so Booyah's gonna try to weave his way back over where he doesn't get smacked by anything. And get up close to decks and... Is that possible?
00:40:36
Speaker
No, because you're coming up on the blue guy that your rapier is next to. But you're getting into engage with him, so you're fine, yeah. Okay. And I'm gonna reach out and touch Dex. You're gonna get mad at him too? Booyah, booyah. He's not touching him on the face. Booyah touches Dex on the thigh. Well, I, yeah, I mean that. Booyah calls silver flames here. Dex knows what Booyah's doing.
00:41:06
Speaker
Booyah calls Silver Flame Hill friend Dex, and you get 23 points back. Cool. Eacon of Hope. All right. That's it. Awesome. Yeah, it's my turn. Yes. Okay, cool. Okay, so there's the guy.
00:41:27
Speaker
next to me, and there's the one that Orianna just hits, that's all that's left up? No, and there's the one in the middle that, like... Is he the one that did the title thing? No, he's up on Barak now. Oh, so he shouldn't be out number two these times. Oh well. Okay, well, the guy that I'm right next to, I'm gonna put him in the ground. Again? He was never in the ground.
00:41:50
Speaker
Fair enough. Time to, you know, I want to make it. Now we're going to put him in the ground. He doesn't move as well because he can't. That's what I'm hoping for. That's what I'm hoping for. Nope. I'll, I'll, I'll action surge. I'll use it this time.
00:42:11
Speaker
16. Good night. Nope. Um, okay. I'm just so scared that I'm going to get errant shots. Going to take that magical rapier out of the sky. I'm like, well,
00:42:24
Speaker
You might as well just not do anything useful. Oh, he needed to roll to see if that recharged. Nope. Okay. The one right in front of you, Beric, reaches behind it and like twitches, goes into like black shadowy mode and when it reforms, now there's a sheath, a scythe in its hand, and it swings it around in a wide arc at you.
00:42:57
Speaker
17. Uh, that does not fit. Okay. Um. Oh. Um.
00:43:48
Speaker
Okay. Um, not useful. So it missed. Now it is for Rash's turn. So Rash is going to try to hit this thing, fight alongside Orianna. Actually, he's going to use his turn. Um, he reaches over and, uh, have him and Orianna met? No.
00:44:13
Speaker
Probably not. Not unless they encounter each other in Stormreach at some point. Independently, yes. Not in our company. Yeah. He like sees Orianna jump out. I assume you're here to help. Yeah. And he like pats her on the shoulder and you see like light go from his hand into her body. Orianna is now under the effects of the haste spell.
00:44:45
Speaker
Will you remind me, that's plus 2 to AC, plus 1 to AC? Plus, speed is doubled, plus 2 to AC, advantage on dexterity saving throws, and an additional action on each turn. That action can be used only to take the attack action dash this out locally.
00:45:03
Speaker
a bunch of different things. And that lasts for one minute with concentration. Nobody tell Dex that Arachia has haste because we don't need double his speed. Okay, that is his action and that's all he can do. So...
00:45:51
Speaker
It's going to point at the thing in front of it. Noriyana used his channel divinity to cast a vow of enmity. Now he has advantage on attack rolls against it for one minute, or until it drops to zero hit points. Okay, that is Barash's turn. It is now the blue guy. So, now that he has taken damage, he levels his sword at you, Dex.
00:45:59
Speaker
Oh, hell, then it doesn't make any trips.
00:46:20
Speaker
You're right in front of him. Who else is he going to attack? I mean, I can think of several people. Orianna, Huya, Barasha, Barak, one of the other guys. One of his buddies. Why not? Hey, I've been in situations where I've had to attack my compatriots before. It turned out fine. Loves the sword at you.
00:46:48
Speaker
You walk the path that you should not tread. We have given our lives to keep interlopers like you out, and we will die defending our honor. And he like, slams his foot, and you see, um,
00:47:05
Speaker
five blue like columns of like light appear and once it clears you see five more of this guy circling and
Shifting Battle Momentum
00:47:18
Speaker
that's his action
00:47:24
Speaker
I mean, that thing about fraud and down the wrong path. That could literally mean any number of things. Oh, and I guess they get to act out. So, um, one's going to hop up and attack you. Wait, all five of them get actions now? I mean, it's his once per day, like super big bad boy thing. Like he called some allies in. Okay. Bring it. Um, so that is a 23. Yeah. Hits. Um, nine damage. Okay.
00:47:54
Speaker
That's only a nine. Okay. Okay. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Second one. That's a natural one. And a 24.
00:48:23
Speaker
24. Nine points of damage. Third one, that's an 11 and a natural 20. Wait, that wouldn't have been the third one. That would have been fourth one rolled the 11. No, they get two attacks on each turn. Oh, neat. Yeah. So that's going to be 20 points of damage on the crit.
00:48:55
Speaker
Fourth one, 21. Uh, yeah, it's 11 points. And that's 16. And the last one, 25. That's eight points of damage. And the last tech is 22 with nine points. So these blue figures just swarm all over decks and begin just stabbing with their swords. Um,
00:49:26
Speaker
Yeah. It is now Beric's turn.
00:49:37
Speaker
Okay, when I look at those things, what do I see? Those, the duplicates. I mean, they're all, you see what Dex sees. Like, they're all blue warriors with red glowing eyes. They do look slightly different. Like, they're not clones. Are they, what I'm asking, are they a magical effect? No. They are the exact same as that, as the original. Okay. Well, that's bad. Okay, that.
00:50:08
Speaker
Alright, well Beric is going to... Okay, so there's one directly in front of me. Yes. Still, yes. And then... With a scythe. One of them is dead. Yes. And then there's another in front of Urasha and... And Boriara, about 10 feet away from you. And then Dex is facing a horde.
00:50:31
Speaker
Okay. Barak reaches back and draws off of his back the Flamed Tongue Sword that Drakir left behind. And as he does, the runes on it flare and it flames to life. And he is going to bonus action Hexblade Curse the guy in front of him. And then attack.
00:51:00
Speaker
I got you pointed in front of you, which is where I am. Not sure. And so Eric looked at me with the Hexblade Curse and was like, I don't think me, no. Hey. Excellent. Hey, and because of Hexblade Curse, I crit on an I.T. Yay. Yay. Gotta get an air horn out. Hasn't happened in ever. I hate that.
00:51:19
Speaker
I hate that. I hate what? Well then you're just wrong. Because it's a great joke almost half the time. Almost. That is correct, which is why I hate it. Please don't. No, no, no. I mean, I say I hate that you get out your phone. Forgive me for misunderstanding your intent.
00:51:44
Speaker
That is 27 damage, some portion of which is fire. Is that relevant? That will not be relevant. Oh, actually plus another fire. So 32 points of damage for the first attack and second attack.
00:52:08
Speaker
Okay. It catches on fire. Like you stab it through the chest and it switches into existence. And it just catches on fire and begins wailing and shrieking. And the like bits of corporeal begin to fall away as the shadow kind of melts into the ground melting around your sword. Awesome.
00:52:31
Speaker
And it's dead. It's so very dead. That you know of. Well, yes, that's true. That I know. I was in every game. Did you roll another 19? I did. That's a bummer. Well. Can you move between attacks? We started with four. That's kind of up to you. Six to go. It's kind of up to you. I don't know that I've ever played consistently one way or the other. Yeah.
00:52:59
Speaker
because it's a part of a single action. You can break up a move, but you can't break up an action, so yeah. Right? Action surge, you could do it, move, and then act again. But taking a s... Yeah, no, I don't think you can move. Okay. Sorry. Um... Then I guess that's it.
Defeating the Undead
00:53:26
Speaker
Okay. Okay, Orianna is in front of the Flaming Spelly guy. Brash is right here, too. Brash is right here, too. Orianna is under the effect of the Haste spell. Sweet. So she gets to go bonkers. Yes. And she could maybe keep up with Dex right now. So, uh... Is Dex's regular movement speed?
00:53:50
Speaker
Uh, regular's 40. 40? Uh-huh. I click my heals at 80. Okay. She can outrun you without clicking your heals. Like I'd let that happen. She could keep pace, like, for a while. Sure. Uh, anyway, she's going to also attack the creature in front of her. So that's gonna be...
00:54:16
Speaker
A 19 hit on her first attack. Alright. That's a disappointing collection of numbers there. A lot of ones on damage rolls.
00:54:46
Speaker
That is just 14 on the first attack. And on the second attack from haste. 20. Once you hit. Yes. Margin is better. You have to choose that time. Yep.
00:55:11
Speaker
and 19 on the second attack. Sorry, what was the damage on the first attack? 14. So she's just sort of dodging back and forth at an unreasonable speed whirling with the spear and slashing and thrusting. All right. It is its turn, so it does not care for what's happening
00:55:42
Speaker
at all. Was I not next? I lost. You went first
00:56:09
Speaker
But now that Orianna it seems like he's further up I need Orianna to make a wisdom saving throw
00:56:26
Speaker
The Stable he gave me involves poison damage and all of her attacks, but I'm ignoring that. Correct. Wisdom? Yes. Oof. That's not positive.
00:56:42
Speaker
So something happens that you all have seen happen before but to Oriana's mentor. So this thing extends its hand out and extends both hands out and kind of does like a circling motion and as it does this like in a one-for-one you see a crown
00:57:03
Speaker
Appear around four on this head. The blue flames of this thing erupt into her eyes. And so now she is charmed. Cool. Ariana, you sneak off the boat and now we have to hit you. She's human? Yeah.
00:57:31
Speaker
Okay. And this thing is going to potentially suffer an attack of opportunity from Barashia, but it is going to put some distance between itself and Barashia. So that is going to be a 19, which hits.
00:57:56
Speaker
Kind of madness prevent Orianna from making an attack opportunity. Yes, because it's under his control and he doesn't want her to attack sure Yeah, couldn't remember all the effects of it so nobody rules or rules Brash it does do nine points of damage to the thing as it tries to scooch away It's
00:58:19
Speaker
It's actually, I mean, it's starting to look a little rough, but it's not. Not looking bad. But not really. Oh, he's bad as dicks. Booyah. So a bunch of bad boys have appeared around you. Bad blue boys. That's the name of their game. He's gonna have his little weapon attack the one again. 16? No, wait. 16. 18, sorry. 18. 18 does hit. So are you hitting the main one?
00:58:48
Speaker
Yeah, the main
Reflecting on Victory
00:58:49
Speaker
one. That's eight force damage and seeing this Booyah just kind of panics and
00:58:59
Speaker
Just kind of mumbles to himself and extends a hand. And this just aura just pops out of him in like a 60 foot radius. And you get 70 points of healing for Dex. Whoa! I mean, is it only one target or is it anybody in the bubble? I can split the... Oh, okay. So you're concentrating it on them. That book? The good old book. There was a story that you read about a bunch of blue ghosts appearing and stabbing somebody.
00:59:30
Speaker
Okay, that's a lot. Okay, my turn, right? Yes. Okay, which of my allies is closest to me? Booyah is standing literally right next to you. And he just healed me, so I can't, I can't. I don't want to, but I can't. Okay. Do it. I can dodge with the best of them.
00:59:51
Speaker
Who else is within 20 feet of me, though? Everybody? I mean, this is not a gigantic room. That's what I'm saying. It's a 20-foot radius, not circumference. So I'm talking anybody within 20 feet of me. I pull Leleana out of my belt.
01:00:07
Speaker
And I do some quick geometry. And to the best of my ability, I center a fireball. Where it engulfs all the blue bad guys. Right? And me and Booyah. So Booyah, you and I have to make dexterity saving throws. As do they. DC 16. 18. Come on!
01:00:37
Speaker
I saw a 17, an 18, a 16. Three of them failed. Three of them failed. Out of six. What's half? Pretty good. So the three that failed take... Can I get two D6s from somebody? Yup. Anybody that failed takes... Oh, good idea. Multi. Eight. Yup.
01:01:05
Speaker
I intentionally didn't give him the d20 radio die, so those things were all hot. 52 points of damage if you failed. Nice. 26 if you passed. I take zero. So see, the center point of an explosion does not take damage. I wasn't the center point. You specifically told me to move it off of myself. Ah, Booyah, fire! He starts to pan himself. Now why you bar Booyah?
01:01:34
Speaker
Booyam, I'm sorry. Booyam's patting his metal carapace. Yeah, Booyam's not on fire. It's not metal. Is it metal? I thought it just looked like metal. No, it's metal, yeah. You look like a Warforged child. Okay. I thought they were wooden and metal, though. Well, the inside. Where they are wood, he is goblin. So...
01:02:03
Speaker
Partly all. Yeah. Does that do anything to any of them? Oh, yeah. I mean, I know. They all like were engulfed in fire. A lot of exclamations and mean words. No, none of them died. But yeah, they're OK. You did a real good Goofma. And then. For my.
01:02:32
Speaker
Rule me this. Can I use a bonus action? I mean, there's a lot of magic getting thrown around in this room, and I forgot I have this Iyun stone. Can I equip it with a bonus action? Yeah. Okay, I do that. And then I'm done. Now we are to... Buresha. Um, so Buresha's gonna try to chase this thing down that's taking off.
01:02:58
Speaker
Um, so it, uh, he rushes up on it. He has advantage. So. Oh, cool. Cool. Now you roll like a, like a chum. Live averages, man. I'm rolling for allies. Um, that's a bummer. You'll have to brush it. Don't worry. I can catch it. I just, I was out on the sun for an awfully long time. I'm sorry.
01:03:25
Speaker
It is now the big bad blue boys gang. So they are going to attack Dex. So the main one is going to attack twice. So the first one is 22. Yeah, it's six points of damage. Second attack is 18 and his third attack is 19.
01:03:54
Speaker
So he... You have been kicking the crap out of me and you've missed twice in a row and you go, ah, man! Okay, the other ones are going to attack you. They only get one attack per turn. I have given up well over a hundred points of damage at this fight. Uh, first one is 15, uh, 12, 22.
01:04:14
Speaker
uh 11 points of damage fourth one 23 yeah uh eight points of damage and the last one no nine okay so the blue boys i'm not making it out of this stabbing decks you're fine you're at 58 they're still standing up i was gonna try and deal with you but i gotta deal with oreana
01:04:40
Speaker
How many hit points did you have before I did those attacks? Oh, like 80 some odd? Like the secondary guys, because it was only like, what, 18 points of damage? Oh, after the first guy, but before the other two. I think the first guy took like seven from me or something, so it would have been in the high 70s.
01:05:00
Speaker
Okay, revert back to that. Add 18 points back onto your pedal. These guys have... Yeah, give me the 76. Your fireball killed all of the extra guys that got brought into the battlefield. Nope. Sorry. Would've been cool to know that at the time of your fireball. I know. I know. I'm sorry. I was looking for the wrong stat block. I ruined everything.
01:05:20
Speaker
That's why I was confused. That's fair. I thought I spawned five guys with so many hit points But no I spawned five. Oh wait two of them are still so It's an emotional rollercoaster right now
01:05:36
Speaker
The two that took half damage are still up. Sure, that makes sense. Of the ones that survived, it should be the ones with the less damage. And the main guy is still up. Yes. How does he look? He's fine. He's blue. He's fine. I mean, you've done 15 points of damage to him plus 26. That's kind of what I wanted to make.
01:06:01
Speaker
Okay, so great job with the fireball. You knocked out three of these guys in one fell swoop. That feels a lot better. I really buried the lead there. I apologize. I've been sitting here hitting Leliana against the ball, like, why aren't you working? We're pretty out of practice when it comes to this kind of thing. So, um, okay.
01:06:23
Speaker
Guess what? Beric, it's your turn. Beric runs over to where Orianna is. He can see the magical effect on her and seeing it presumably recognize it. Yeah.
Conclusion and Community Engagement
01:06:38
Speaker
Okay, Barak is going to cast Dispel Magic, targeting that effect. Okay. I cast at a fifth level always, as a warlock, so if Dispel is not higher than a fifth level. It is fifth. Okay, so I... It's not higher than fifth? Or fifth level higher?
01:07:06
Speaker
It matches the level. You automatically end the effect of the spell on a target if the spell's level is equal to or less than the level of the spell's level. So Barak wanting to go and assist in this problem instead walks over to the teenager that has followed us here and makes a couple of arcane gestures in the air. And the crown around her head just dissolves.
01:07:31
Speaker
Every single 20 Eric finds a way to make it bad for me Every single told you it was beneficial, but interesting from now Super beneficial so far from now on from now from now on and I roll it one after like just let me double the dice
01:07:47
Speaker
Don't make me don't make me summon a horse that I'll watch get slaughtered don't make me You know bring in an ally that will die in front of us to watch the horse die Don't don't be an elemental let me free an elemental that will then try to kill me horse died off screen Just let me double the damage Oriana's turn
01:08:10
Speaker
No, you have to come up with fun and creative things. The hell I do. I haven't yet. Why start now? So the one that did that to her is still alive. Vrasha just chased it down the hall. OK, so she shakes it off and then just I mean like an arrow from the bow just down the hallway. Parkour is off the wall and goes to stab this thing from there.
01:08:43
Speaker
That's only a 16. 16? That matches. Cool. So that's 29 points of damage. Okay. So the spear sort of stabs into its... between its shoulder and neck and withdraws as she lands behind it and attacks again.
01:09:12
Speaker
20. 26. 26. Second attack is 20 damage.
01:09:31
Speaker
This thing is looking rough. She just slashes the blade of the spear along its back. Its skull is cracked, and more magical energy is kind of shooting out from where the cracks are beginning to form. It is its turn. So this thing, the skull is starting to crack. It sees Orianna and Barasha up on it. It sees all of its allies, except for the big bad blue boy band, down. And so it snaps its fingers, and it's gone.
01:09:59
Speaker
My Betty comes back. I don't think I can see that, actually. I'm dealing with my own things. I'm just going to undercut some Eiffel 65 for this fight. Oh, you dare. Booyah, it's your turn. All right. So imagine that's what finally gets us a cease and desist is Eiffel 65 getting us rid of the use of blue. I'm with them five feet of this thing.
01:10:21
Speaker
Oh, many of those things. I'm going to ethereal step out away from them as I pull planar justice. Okay. I'm going to aim straight for the main blue dude's head. All right. Oh, so you're doing the called shot. Okay. So disadvantage. Yeah, that's a miss. Maybe a one. No, no, it wasn't a one, but yeah, it's a miss. He dodges out of the way. Second attack called shot again.
01:10:51
Speaker
I think we agreed that that was not. Another three. Okay. Okay. We hadn't whipped out his crossbow in a while. Did you leave it shoulder mounted? No, he pulled it. Okay. He's just having it in his hand. Sure. I think if I fire it from up there, it doesn't do as much.
01:11:14
Speaker
Things you can only fire once if you fire. Yeah, you can fire as a bonus action. That's what it is. Okay, it is now Dex's turn. Yeah. So you knocked out three of them last turn. Great job. Couple of bolts just blew by. I'm riding that high. I got this ribbon weave in my hand and I think I'm gonna hit this blue guy with it.
01:11:37
Speaker
Which one the main one the one that the one that was you know Taunting me about the path I was on like though. I'm on the wrong path. I'm it led me to a fight with you Clearly after easier things I could have done 2017 and that is a miss. Hey then I'm going to
01:12:01
Speaker
Wait for my next turn. I don't have stuff. I don't have bonus action stuff, except for the one thing that I already did. And I have the rest now. Disengage and dash. Yeah, I'm not gonna disengage or dash from this chump. It is their turn, so he is going to attack you. 12. Natural 20. Sorry, that one misses.
01:12:31
Speaker
12 damage on that one. And then he's gonna make his extra attack with his bonus action.
01:12:44
Speaker
Nevermind. Um, and the, his two allies are going to attack. 17 is a miss and 15 is a miss. That was a pretty, pretty light turn. Yeah. I mean, compared to that one where I lost 60 points, um, those, those were the days. Um, okay. So, um,
01:13:08
Speaker
He begins to bark to the other two. Please don't park too loud. Set the dogs off. Oh, yeah. Form up on me. Keep them from moving forward. And the other two kind of line up next to him. And now it is Barrett's turn.
01:13:31
Speaker
all right uh barrick seemed that oh that way barrick's gonna rush up and try to help hey with this problem here oh hey booyah when barrick get here there's a problem in the back uh barrick rushes up with this flaming sword and packs away at one of them who's a retail conversation oh i didn't realize you were here there was a problem in the back
01:13:58
Speaker
A crazy amount. 25. Yes. Which one are you attacking? One of the not the big guy. Okay. I'm just trying to clear out some of the problems here. That's positive. There'll be 24 damage for the first attack.
01:14:20
Speaker
That doesn't do it, it's real close. That one's dead. Okay. And Barak will just immediately carry through into the next one, if I can still reach it. And that's 27 to hit. Hit. More. 27 damage. So the way I envisioned this, because they were kind of flanking this guy, but I'm going to allow it for visual flair. Dex, you've been up here in this War of Attrition. Barak runs up.
01:14:50
Speaker
up onto your left, stabs one in the chest, and then keeps his back on your back as he rolls around you, and stabs the other one on the other side of the commander, and then drops a pithy one-liner. You got this. Yeah, I had it. I mean, thanks and all. I don't know why I imitated Barasha there. I'm not saying you shouldn't have come, but I had it. Orianna's turn.
01:15:19
Speaker
Uh, Orianna will... again, Orianna just... And... once... 21 hit the commander. That is a hit. Aw. And... I think that's a bit of a rush. You just get... I'll insert it. You just get brasses, brashes.
01:15:52
Speaker
That's 14 first. Okay. Second attack. Not as good. 16? No. Okay. This is on the second attempt. Being noticeably slower than Orianna. Rasha finally catches up.
01:16:07
Speaker
Yeah. Slides up. Catacorne to this guy kind of comes up around behind him, bringing his scimitar around with full force. And that's that hits. He died. Yay. So.
01:16:31
Speaker
Okay, this thing is starting to take a bit of a walloping. So it is now back around to... Good! Oh, it's that other thing's turn. He's gonna go... There's another thing? The thing that snapped and went away. Oh, he didn't go away for goodness sake. He just... Oh, I mean, he's doing stuff, but just not with you all. He's making moves on the... Yeah. On board the bar of time. Booyah, it's your turn.
01:17:00
Speaker
We can try Rickards up there. Yeah, I was taking another shot and nope He's pretty her jace is a professional he might have some 22 abilities. That's it. Jase has a gun. I don't know if you guys knew Jase has several firearms I Rolled a 20 and gave Jason gun
01:17:35
Speaker
19 damage. Okay. And shoots another bolt at the guy. 18 plus more. Yep. Hey, that's the exact same thing you rolled last time. No, it's not. Yeah, it is. It's four and a three. 13, 19. Yeah. Yeah.
01:18:05
Speaker
Okay, this thing, like, he is starting to look really roughshod. Dex, your turn. Um... Yeah, I'm gonna hit him. That's a good call. Yeah, well, I had a thought. I'm gonna hit him first. I'm gonna try to hit him first.
01:18:26
Speaker
Oh my. I should have gone with the... I should have gone with the thought that was a natural one, listeners. Yes. Gonna do my air horn and use that off screen. Okay. Oh good. When he yelled... I made a goof earlier, but... When he yelled...
01:18:45
Speaker
Whatever, don't let me go any farther. It just piqued Dex's interest and kind of just pissed this guy off a little bit. So I'm gonna use my bonus action to disengage and my movement to go 40 feet deeper down the hallway. Okay. I know, 20. Let's just have it. Okay. I just want to get past him and go. Make the faint that I'm moving further down the hall. Or the funnel. Okay, he's gonna make an opportunity attack to try and stop you. I disengaged. Oh yeah, you disengaged.
01:19:15
Speaker
because i thought i'm gonna run 80 feet and i said no i'm going to disengage um okay that is it for dex's turn
01:19:26
Speaker
Barashah. Swings, misses, moves on. It's his turn. He is going to take Yorin melee, Orianna's in melee, and Barashah's in melee. Opportunity attacks from all three of us, because he's going to chase down Dex. All right, cool. Barashah hits. Barak has a 17. Miss.
01:19:53
Speaker
Orianna, however, has a 26. That's a hit. I should very much hope so. 22 damage from Orianna. So this thing takes off and...
01:20:23
Speaker
Forgive me a bit of narrative flair for Order of Opry. This thing takes off Gratia, cuts him across the back, but he gets just out of reach of Barrack's swing, and he makes it to 20 feet, and reaches up and touches your face. Okay? And you in a moment. You're mentally not here anymore.
01:20:51
Speaker
and you're seeing things through somebody else's eyes that are not yours. You see a dense thick zendric jungle and you're standing next to a tall pyramid and you see yourself holding a spear.
01:21:07
Speaker
and you look down at the armor and it's clear that you are whoever this individual is that just touched your face and there's anxiety and fear and a sense of urgency as your compatriots begin to file into the pyramid and you look and you see gray mist rolling over the top of the zendric jungle
01:21:32
Speaker
as you turn and walk in and then hit a mechanism to cause the stone door to fall away. And then you're back and you see this thing looking at you in the eyes as you see Oriana's spear sticking out of his chest as he falls back onto the ground. Except he falls forward because there's a spear in his back.
01:21:53
Speaker
Well, he's incorporeal. Oh, I didn't actually realize. I never realized that he was incorporeal. That felt like the sort of important world building that you should have entrusted to a different player. Would one describe the mist as dead?
01:22:09
Speaker
