The Blade's Edge
Hello and welcome back to The Blade's Edge, a D and&D actual play podcast where we are currently playing through the module Curse of Strahd. And while the module started out pretty by the book, we have taken some very interesting turns that have led to the player characters Desan, Alma Graves, Inabi, and Bash Bloodsinger in the town of Valaki.
Quest for the Bones of St. Andrew
00:00:31
The Blade's Edge
looking for the bones of St. Andrew. For the church of Lathander, that a man named Vicar Jim runs.
00:00:41
Alma Graves
Real badass, by the way.
00:00:41
The Blade's Edge
ah Real badass. um Shout out, Daniel. These bones will protect the church that is constantly being attacked.
00:00:51
The Blade's Edge
You guys witnessed that firsthand ah the night prior, um and you've tracked the bones to a coffin maker's shop. And as you enter the the.
00:01:12
The Blade's Edge
Altar boys, Jovim and Jeska had sold. The bones to the coffin maker, so they told you for money for the orphanage that they are from.
00:01:26
Alma Graves
Classic Jengka move.
00:01:29
The Blade's Edge
And as you guys entered the coffin maker shop, looking for the bones to protect the church before you go back on your quest um of the many things you want to do in the land of Barovia before. Before confronting Strahd von Zerevich, as you entered bash axe raised high, you opened the door. There was the sound of what sounded like maybe footsteps on the floor above you.
Discovery at the Coffin Maker's Shop
00:01:57
The Blade's Edge
sort to And you look at the four closest, um, coffins down here and they had all four of your names on them. With that information, the camera zooms back in from the black and white night sky to the town of Valaki, a burned and battered church still standing.
00:02:24
The Blade's Edge
um It goes past a man walking down the street with a monkey on his shoulder. He walks past a um caravan with a big tarp over its inside. You hear a sound of some sort of massive feline creature.
00:02:50
The Blade's Edge
The camera zooms back to this coffin maker shop as you enter. Would you guys like to do?
00:02:59
Alma Graves
Hey, what are you seeing in there, Bash?
00:02:59
Kyle
Um, it's not looking good. It's not looking good. I can't even lie. Uh, did everyone else hear the footsteps?
00:03:10
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, yeah, you guys all as the door opened and you made a.
00:03:16
The Blade's Edge
As you made sound down here, you, you all heard upstairs.
Preparing for Battle with Undead
00:03:21
Kyle
Gotcha. So I'm, I'm not gonna say anything. I'm just gonna look back at the group, and then point at the coffins and kind of kind of move in quietly.
00:03:33
Trevor
I'll do the same. I'll start sliding in behind them.
00:03:36
Alma Graves
Yeah, I'm sliding in.
00:03:38
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Yeah. If you guys are going in, uh, quietly, wasn't everybody wrote me a stealth check.
00:03:42
Alma Graves
Yeah, we're going we're going quiet.
00:03:42
Vesz'rak
Oh boy. I hope I'm not clanking around.
00:03:48
Alma Graves
Oh, first roll of the session.
00:03:50
Alma Graves
Also, from where I have my ah my mic stand, I can't see where my dice are falling on the screen. I got to move that.
00:03:59
The Blade's Edge
And everybody go ahead and let the let people listening know what you rolled.
00:04:03
Alma Graves
It's a nat 20 stealth.
00:04:09
Vesz'rak
I got a four. I got some heavy armor.
00:04:11
Vesz'rak
I like stub my toe and I clank it.
00:04:14
The Blade's Edge
stub your toe, you clank it, but luckily with a nat 20 as you stub your toe and your boot goes to, uh, maybe hit the coffin on the way in Alma with a nat 20, um, puts her foot back, stopping your toe from connecting to the, uh, coffin. No sound is made. I guess feels like you're being very stealthy.
00:04:42
Alma Graves
So something's running down at us. And we see these coffins with our names on it.
00:04:50
The Blade's Edge
If you, if you would like to make that distinction that something is running down at you, you can, that is not, uh, you just heard some noise above you. You're potentially footsteps, but you, if that is the conclusion you'd like to come to, that is totally fine.
00:04:58
Alma Graves
Ah, okay, okay, okay.
00:05:04
The Blade's Edge
But that is, you just hear those sounds on the floor above.
00:05:07
Vesz'rak
Brian, can I cast a Divine Sense as an action that can detect good and evil within 60 feet of me?
00:05:14
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, go ahead and link that in the chat. um And why don't you tell us all what it looks like as you cast Divine Sense.
00:05:22
Vesz'rak
Uh, yeah, I, you see me lightsaber out my sword, kind of two handed in front of me, uh, close my eyes and I wish upon a star and I'm a divine sensing anything evil within, uh, my area.
00:05:39
The Blade's Edge
When you cast Divine Sense, um so much has been going on with Dassan, Alma, Bashan, and Abi, this push and pull of Lathander and then this is his weird obsession with this book. um And as he casts Divine Sense, you see a little light appears in front of his face, illuminating Dassan's face.
00:06:06
The Blade's Edge
in this golden, beautiful radiance. This tiny globe almost looks like a microscopic sun out in front, illuminating you all.
00:06:20
The Blade's Edge
You all um feel the presence of Lathander in his casting of this. Everybody has, um, uh, everybody has heroic inspiration.
00:06:32
The Blade's Edge
You guys can all mark inspiration on your sheet.
00:06:34
Trevor
Oh shit, let's go home
00:06:35
Alma Graves
Mm. Am I taking your first sip of coffee in the morning with Anders?
00:06:36
The Blade's Edge
above Exactly
00:06:39
Alma Graves
Start your day right.
00:06:40
The Blade's Edge
um Above and beyond that, Desan, you ping. ah the The orb sort of floats up to the ceiling, floats up to the ceiling as if to say that there is something upstairs.
00:06:52
The Blade's Edge
The orb then breaks into six separate pieces, letting you know that there are six upstairs.
00:06:57
The Blade's Edge
And as the orbs of glowing light, um they start to decay and die and crumble, letting you know that there are six undead upstairs.
00:07:10
Vesz'rak
Okay. I will, uh, take out my shield, which I have not been using. So I'm going to take out my shield, uh, fully equipped.
00:07:18
The Blade's Edge
ah it's nice
00:07:21
Vesz'rak
And I just look at everyone, give everyone a nod and I'm ready.
00:07:25
Alma Graves
Hell yeah, I ah I will use my armor of shadows to have this cool like Halo over shield kind of go over just my clothes and I have the benefit of mage armor now.
00:07:37
The Blade's Edge
Nice. Oh yeah, that's what are your invocations, right?
00:07:41
Alma Graves
Yeah, so my eldritch invocation, um and as i as I do my mage armor, take another couple steps and then I ah glow kind of like a golden, like gold green. um And you you see me have a little extra constitution with false life. So I have 11 temp HP.
00:08:03
The Blade's Edge
Couple at will spells major armor, false life. Um, as they do that bash and not be you guys doing anything.
00:08:11
Trevor
ah I'm probably about to cast a few things, but I'm gonna wait until the second before we bust in there or something.
00:08:23
Kyle
Yeah, I'm just, I'm just gripping my great axe.
00:08:23
Trevor
Cause they're those... Fire. Scripping it.
00:08:30
Vesz'rak
Yeah, just gross.
00:08:31
Vesz'rak
Is there any grip on your great acts?
00:08:32
Alma Graves
but I'm gripping it?
00:08:33
Vesz'rak
Like a little pine tar action or like, yeah, what do we got going on?
00:08:34
Alma Graves
Yeah, are you gripping it?
00:08:37
Kyle
um It's got like, a yeah, like down at the bottom, there's like a wrap, like a kind of like a rubberish wrap, like you would see on like the bottom of a, like a tennis racket.
00:08:51
The Blade's Edge
the The umpire comes in, throws you out of the game. Illegal substance.
00:08:56
Vesz'rak
that i I imagine in like a Wii remote, how he has like the like the handle gripped to it, you know or like the around his wrist. And like that's how that's how I imagine it.
00:09:07
Kyle
That's so I don't lose it.
00:09:07
The Blade's Edge
Um, but as you guys all cast some spells and do that, uh, as you look around this room, you notice there are 13 wooden coffins in this room and the four of them by the doors have your guys's names on them.
00:09:08
Vesz'rak
Yeah, so you don't lose it.
00:09:22
The Blade's Edge
That's kind of all you see. And then you see three doors down here, uh, in this corner, two to the South and one to the Southwest.
00:09:30
Alma Graves
Do any of the other coffins have names on them?
00:09:33
The Blade's Edge
Uh, make me an investigation check. And as you do that bash, you were asking me something as well.
00:09:37
Alma Graves
Investigation coming.
00:09:39
Kyle
Can I look? Are are the coffins closed?
00:09:43
The Blade's Edge
Every coffin is closed, but none of the coffins, much like when you looked in from the outside, none of the coffins have like nails in them. You know what I mean? They're not like ready to go. Um, so like, like the lids are not nailed down.
00:09:53
Kyle
look inside? Can I look inside the one with my name on it?
00:09:58
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. So Alma, as you go around and look for other names on the coffins, you find none. None of the other ones are named.
00:10:05
The Blade's Edge
and bash, which what you open the one with your name on it.
00:10:09
The Blade's Edge
Okay. You open the coffin with your name on it bash and you see inside what you would know to be a um twig blight.
00:10:24
The Blade's Edge
Like a twig almost in like a human shape. it's you know It's very small laying in the center of the coffin and it is dead.
00:10:37
Kyle
Does it, does it have any wounds on it?
00:10:41
The Blade's Edge
Um, you, yeah, give me a medicine check.
00:10:49
Kyle
Uh... It'd be a 13, Tom.
00:10:52
The Blade's Edge
Cause you're rolling 13, 13, 13 coffins of 13 stealth to 13.
00:10:57
Kyle
I'm not liking this.
00:10:58
Alma Graves
That coffin was made specifically for me.
00:11:02
The Blade's Edge
On with a medicine check, you can see that this twig blight was um its life force was drained out of it. You've seen similar magic be used when something deals like necrotic damage.
00:11:16
Kyle
I hate necrotic damage.
00:11:22
Trevor
That's my least favorite kind of damage.
00:11:25
Kyle
It truly is. I hate necrotic.
00:11:31
Alma Graves
Could I actually come over and do a nature check on it while we have it open?
00:11:41
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, green HJ.
00:11:46
Alma Graves
ah We're going to be hitting that one with a seven.
00:11:49
The Blade's Edge
Um, I mean, you vaguely remember these two blights from your brother's, you know, memories that they don't feel like they're your memories, but they do feel like you, you know, we're watching them through a fog, an observer of an observer of an observer of an a partial observer sort of vibe.
00:12:08
The Blade's Edge
ah So you remember these things, but with a nature check, ah you don't really gather any other information other than it was obviously somebody killed it with necrotic damage and placed it here.
00:12:19
Alma Graves
Okay, cool. um Then I would start making my way towards the other guys and say, hey, should we ah go upstairs and wipe out these undead?
00:12:31
Trevor
I think that's the plan. um should we Do we want to investigate these doors or just check these doors for any sort of traps before we try opening any of them?
00:12:34
Alma Graves
Sounds pretty nice to me.
00:12:42
Vesz'rak
Yeah, I'm kind of like braced by the door waiting for somebody else to open and like kind of so like, and then I'll be like the tip of the spear going in.
00:12:50
Trevor
Okay. Sick. Yeah. Do you want to help or do you want help or want to help me and check these doors for traps to make sure they're not going to blow up on our face when we open them from a Nabi.
00:12:59
Vesz'rak
Sure. Sure. I'll help you look not my strong suit, but I'll give it a shot. It's honest work zero.
00:13:06
The Blade's Edge
Go ahead, you can both roll me investigation checks
00:13:12
Vesz'rak
It'd be a six for me, Bri.
00:13:14
The Blade's Edge
Uh, within 18 and Nabi, none of those three doors are
Confrontation with Vampire Spawns
00:13:19
The Blade's Edge
locked and none of them seem trapped.
00:13:21
The Blade's Edge
Um, additionally, within 18, you, you hear some light footsteps upstairs, like pitter patter, like one set of footsteps upstairs.
00:13:33
The Blade's Edge
Uh, they don't seem heavy. Uh, not like before when the door was opened, uh, you hear light footsteps upstairs, one set. Um, and through the time it takes bash to check out the, uh, coffin, uh, Alma to inspect the other coffins. They do the nature of medicine check. You guys check the doors to saw him through that entire time. You're bracing this door. You don't feel any budge on the other side. As if to say, it doesn't sound like anybody's running down the stairs ah attempting to bust through this door to attack you.
00:14:05
Vesz'rak
Okay. Uh, I look over at a knobby, give him a nod and be like, let's open the door. I'm ready.
00:14:12
Trevor
Yeah, let's do it. um
00:14:13
Alma Graves
You see me with some like Eldritch blasts ready in my hands.
00:14:17
Vesz'rak
Finger guns out.
00:14:20
Trevor
Can we, standing next to the doors um and especially Desan, if you were standing here the whole time, could you, is there a door that it sounded like we could hear those footsteps through more than the other, like is there one of these doors that clearly goes upstairs or are we going to need to like check these out?
00:14:36
Vesz'rak
I'm gonna just...
00:14:37
The Blade's Edge
I think you just hear it above you. Yeah. I don't think I know which, which one it leads to any stairs or anything like that, but it's one of these three.
00:14:37
Trevor
were you able Okay, cool.
00:14:44
Vesz'rak
gonna just try the door to my west, Brian.
00:14:46
Vesz'rak
I'm gonna just open it. Give it a little tug. Give it a little push.
00:14:49
Vesz'rak
A little push and tug.
00:14:49
The Blade's Edge
yeah it's It's not locked.
00:14:52
Vesz'rak
All right, I open it.
00:14:54
Kyle
You're pushing to again.
00:14:54
The Blade's Edge
Cool. I think you can, I think if you click it, you can open it.
00:14:56
Vesz'rak
Oh yeah, I can, okay.
00:14:57
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. I don't, I think it shouldn't let you, if I lock it here, limit let's try that. I'm going to, I closed it and I locked it. Try to open it.
00:15:03
Vesz'rak
Yeah. It's locked up.
00:15:04
Vesz'rak
It's giving me a little lock animation.
00:15:05
Vesz'rak
There we go. Okay. So I can't open it and I'll step through.
00:15:07
The Blade's Edge
All right. Um, this is like a workshop. So this workshop contains everything that a carpenter needs to make coffins and furniture. Uh, three sturdy work tables stretch the length of the West wall.
00:15:19
The Blade's Edge
Um, you see, there are carpenters tools. There are, you know, bits and bobs needed to make coffins. And there doesn't seem to be anybody in here.
00:15:29
The Blade's Edge
There's also the door to the south. Uh, you get the sense was the other door. You guys are at outside before you went to the one over there.
00:15:35
Vesz'rak
Right. And there's another door to like the Southeast.
00:15:40
The Blade's Edge
Yes. Yes. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Door door to the south. That was the one that was locked from the outside. And then there is a door at the bottom of this room in the Southeast.
00:15:50
Vesz'rak
Okay. There's a door.
00:15:53
Vesz'rak
Yeah, there's a door to the Southeast. I think we should just try these other doors really fast. So I'm going to, Anavi, do you want to try that one?
00:15:58
Alma Graves
I had a and a quick question, too.
00:16:01
Alma Graves
um Looking at the spell text for a divine sense, it says that it can detect the presence of any object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hollow spell. So have the bones of St. Andral maybe been consecrated?
00:16:15
The Blade's Edge
I don't think so, but let me check. um
00:16:23
Alma Graves
I usually use divine sense to see if there's bad guys around, but ah you can also tell objects.
00:16:29
Trevor
That's pretty cool. you I didn't even know about that.
00:16:30
Alma Graves
I forgot about that. Yeah.
00:16:35
The Blade's Edge
um I think what what you know is that with the bones, the church is consecrated. So the bones themselves are not consecrated, but the bones being in the church consecrates the church and gives the church the hollow spell.
00:16:51
Alma Graves
ah Okay, cool.
00:16:53
The Blade's Edge
So the bones themselves are not consecrated, um because if they were, and there wouldn't be able to be undead in this room, in this place.
00:17:01
Alma Graves
Right. So the bones are the the bones of the battery.
00:17:02
The Blade's Edge
if the If the bones were, yeah, if the bones were just a anti-undead thing, there wouldn't be six undead upstairs. um But the bones in the church
00:17:12
The Blade's Edge
ah consecrates the church and gives the church the hollow spell.
00:17:18
The Blade's Edge
Um, in Abby, you opened that door to the South, uh, sort of Southwest here. And do you see, um, a table for just from where you're standing and not entering there. Let me see a table with four chairs in the corner of the room.
00:17:31
The Blade's Edge
Uh, there's a lantern hanging above the table from a chain.
00:17:36
The Blade's Edge
Um, and you can kind of make out to saunas, he opens the door from where you're standing. You can kind of make out there's like two cabinets standing against the East wall.
00:17:47
The Blade's Edge
You also see there's a window to the south.
00:17:49
Vesz'rak
I'm like, yeah, I'm like looking for stairs.
00:17:53
The Blade's Edge
And Denabi, you also see that it curves down here ah to the west.
00:17:57
Trevor
Oh, OK. Should we check this last door? If not, there's a little area down here that we can check out.
00:18:05
Vesz'rak
Yeah, I'll open this door. Yeah, ooh, stairs, just what I was looking for.
00:18:13
Alma Graves
Yeah, there they are.
00:18:14
Vesz'rak
it's like It's like the ah it's why escalators, escalators, escalators, eels kind of thing.
00:18:19
Vesz'rak
I found the stairs. Yeah, I found the stairs.
00:18:22
The Blade's Edge
You, you find the stairs, um, third time's the charm.
00:18:30
Vesz'rak
All right. Not ever at everyone a third time. I got just nodding at everybody continuously.
00:18:38
Vesz'rak
And I'll start making my way up the stairs, bracing.
00:18:43
Alma Graves
All right, I'll take up the rear.
00:18:45
Vesz'rak
Shield out, baby.
00:18:46
Trevor
I'm gonna prepare, if it's possible while we're walking up, can I like prepare an action or something?
00:18:55
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. It's what it, what action you're preparing.
00:18:56
Trevor
Just a blade song, I just wanna start my blade song, if I see danger.
00:19:03
The Blade's Edge
Okay. How would you describe danger?
00:19:05
Trevor
um if undead started advancing towards us ah in a malicious looking way, if they're looking spooky.
00:19:14
The Blade's Edge
Cool. Uh, so Desan Inabi bash Alma, is that the marching order?
00:19:22
The Blade's Edge
Okay. I'm moving you guys.
00:19:27
The Blade's Edge
You guys are now over here at the end of the hallway, as you get up there, tasan there are two doors, one to the west, one to these.
00:19:29
Alma Graves
OK, OK, that's just an exchange.
00:19:40
Vesz'rak
OK, West is best. I'm going to open the one to the West.
00:19:47
Vesz'rak
No more questions.
00:19:48
The Blade's Edge
Uh, looks, you see like a kitchen table, like a square table surrounded by chairs, um, from where you're standing. That's kind of all you see.
00:19:57
Vesz'rak
OK, I'll ah um take a step in. Step in.
00:20:00
The Blade's Edge
I see this door in the north, uh, part of this room, but in this room, yeah, this, this looks like a kitchen, uh, contains a square tables, rounded by chairs and shelves of provisions.
00:20:09
Alma Graves
I think I might go in there and start making some pasta. ah
00:20:14
Vesz'rak
And it was like, it's like lunch or dinner time, I think.
00:20:16
Alma Graves
Eating pastries, yeah.
00:20:20
Vesz'rak
Okay. I'll come back and try the door to the East.
00:20:27
Vesz'rak
And I'll take a step inside.
00:20:28
The Blade's Edge
OK, what's your passive perception?
00:20:32
Vesz'rak
Uh, pretty high, Brian. Uh, no, it's 13.
00:20:36
The Blade's Edge
Thirteen is enough to see, as I'll describe this room for you. um And I'll describe this man that you can see on your thing a little right after um this large drafty room is strung with cobwebs. DeSaun, you see a spider.
00:20:58
The Blade's Edge
pitter across as you open the door. You see its head almost look towards you as it does.
00:21:05
The Blade's Edge
The stream is strong with cobwebs and takes up most of this upper floor. You see stacks of wooden planks lie amid a bunch of crates at the end of the room. These crates at the end of the room are marked junk.
00:21:19
The Blade's Edge
And you see attempting to hide from you on the side of a crate. You see this guy.
00:21:31
Alma Graves
Oh, what a guy, great hair.
00:21:35
Vesz'rak
Okay, we got a guy.
00:21:36
The Blade's Edge
Fun fact, that was my token for the jalapeno Pete for awhile.
00:21:40
Vesz'rak
Give me shift give me another Shift Z, Brian.
00:21:42
The Blade's Edge
When I, when we very, very first started playing and I was like, yeah, he's an old pirate.
00:21:42
Alma Graves
Wow, yeah, look at him.
00:21:47
The Blade's Edge
Just found this guy.

00:22:00
Vesz'rak
This guy, do I see that this guy sees us, Brian?
00:22:03
Vesz'rak
Like he clocks he clocks me?
00:22:03
Trevor
That dude's sniffing.
00:22:05
The Blade's Edge
Um, you see this guy's trying not to look over there because he's trying to hide old man. Uh, you can't really see what he's wearing from where you are, but you do see that he has gray hair.
00:22:14
Trevor
Dude has no problems breathing at night.
00:22:18
Vesz'rak
Just ah yeah, just to add insult to injury Brian I'm gonna cast fairy fire on him just to illuminate him Just to be like yeah, just be like I see you
00:22:18
Alma Graves
No, he does not.
00:22:28
Alma Graves
Hey, you guys!
00:22:31
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, go ahead and go ahead and show me the range of that like you can even draw the circle on the map if you'd like.
00:22:36
Alma Graves
this this this is
00:22:38
Vesz'rak
Uh, yeah. So it's a 20, 20 foot cube. I'll draw it out.
00:22:45
Trevor
That is hilarious.
00:22:47
Vesz'rak
No, put it, ah put it in purple.
00:22:50
Trevor
He totally doesn't see me. He totally sees me.
00:22:53
Alma Graves
I'm so sneaky.
00:22:55
Trevor
yeah He's looking right at me.
00:22:55
Vesz'rak
It's, uh, this big, maybe. Yeah. So I'll put it, i'll I'll put it, I'll put it like right here, right on top of them.
00:23:06
Vesz'rak
Yeah. Right there.
00:23:07
The Blade's Edge
Um, here is his deck save. Okay. And what's your DC?
00:23:18
The Blade's Edge
Okay. So he lights up in what color is the light.
00:23:26
Vesz'rak
I feel like it's a mix of like purple and gold.
00:23:30
The Blade's Edge
You see him light up in that and as he does, he looks over and sees you do that and just says, no, don't, don't. And you also see two of these crates that are marked junk light up.
00:23:52
Vesz'rak
Look, I look back and I i look back at the party or I guess I just ah look back at it.
00:23:57
Vesz'rak
I'll ah do the like two with my fingers and then I'll make like a square with my like two in the square box.
00:24:10
Trevor
tight Are we going for it? We're just full sending
00:24:13
Vesz'rak
ah Yeah, um yeah, yeah, I'm just making my way towards a bearded guy Okay Oh
00:24:13
Alma Graves
yeah what What's in the box?
00:24:17
Alma Graves
Making my way into the box.
00:24:19
Trevor
I'll come in. Can I cast my blade song real quick, Brian?
00:24:24
The Blade's Edge
All right. Yes.
00:24:25
The Blade's Edge
You cast blade song and just song. Go ahead and stop right there. Um, I need, I need you to make a dexterity saving throw.
00:24:33
Vesz'rak
No ah do Do I blow up Dex it 14
00:24:39
The Blade's Edge
Okay, so 14 is a success. So as you step here just on you feel a creek underneath your foot, and the contraption that you step on ah sort of bows in place the sides shoot these panels these wooden panels inward at you ah attempting to kind of like bisect you or at the very least keep
00:25:04
The Blade's Edge
At the very least, keep you in place. With a dexterity saving throw, you're able to turn to the side and move out of the way, and you will take half this damage.
00:25:12
Vesz'rak
I do like the dark souls, like dodge roll.
00:25:13
Trevor
dance Just like that.
00:25:16
The Blade's Edge
Very, very low damage.
00:25:18
The Blade's Edge
2d6 was the three. You take one point of damage, but as you do, step there, and Inabi casts his bladesong. um As you step there, the lids of the boxes marked junk as you step there all pop off as if triggered by this. And do you see.
00:25:45
Vesz'rak
I feel really dumb. Cause like earlier when an obvious, like I'm looking for traps internally, I was like, there's no traps here, but it's a coffee maker's place.
00:25:52
Vesz'rak
Why would I have to come?
00:25:56
Alma Graves
Is it some freaking ghouls?
00:25:59
The Blade's Edge
uc You see vampires.
00:26:01
The Blade's Edge
um ah What looked like they're similarly to the vampire spawns you guys faced outside of the church ah pop out of these boxes. And we are going to have everybody roll initiative.
00:26:15
Alma Graves
Ah, sweeter words, rarely said.
00:26:18
Vesz'rak
I feel a lot more confident now that I'm using my shield. Let me just say that.
00:26:21
The Blade's Edge
Let's get this.
00:26:23
Vesz'rak
What's that like, eat you know, like that eastbound and down clip where he's like, I'm as strong as an ox.
00:26:30
Trevor
I haven't watched that in so
00:26:35
The Blade's Edge
um All right. Have you guys each rolled initiative?
00:26:41
Alma Graves
I have sitting at a 13 initiative.
00:26:42
Trevor
Anabi is also at a 9.
00:26:55
Vesz'rak
And the music change. Oh, no.
00:26:58
Vesz'rak
Every time, every time, every time, every time the music changes, just saw it has like Vietnam flashbacks.
00:26:58
Alma Graves
Ah, always bodes well.
00:27:04
The Blade's Edge
Dusan, you step on the trap. You are not restrained. You do not take the full damage. Your shield is out and your sword? question
00:27:16
Vesz'rak
Yeah, I took out my sword. Yeah.
00:27:17
The Blade's Edge

00:27:21
Vesz'rak
Oh, let me double.
00:27:22
Alma Graves
Glowing sunsore?
00:27:22
Vesz'rak
Oh, it is. It's a long sword, but it's versatile.

The Blade's Edge
Um, you take two swings, one connects with the sun sword. Is that your turn?
00:30:09

00:30:54
The Blade's Edge
Okay, so he moves to there, ah gets close to the door, puts his back up against the door and is holding this plank of wood in his hand like a club. um And he sort of takes out a timepiece and looks at it and, and looks at all of you and says, Oh, you better be quick.

The Blade's Edge
Um, this guy is going to dash to get right up in a knobby's face.
00:34:07
The Blade's Edge
Um, this guy is going to use his action to climb on top of this palette. He's standing on top of that palette.
00:34:16
The Blade's Edge
And then this one will go and 15. e
00:34:22
Alma Graves
Uh, are they able to just like freely climb on the walls?
00:34:24
The Blade's Edge
And this guy is going to ready an attack.
00:34:32
Alma Graves
Like freaky, um, vampire spiders.
00:34:35
The Blade's Edge
Yes, you do see that the one who climbed on top of this palette ah did not like, you know, put its foot on and climbed almost like a spider.
00:34:45
The Blade's Edge
um All right, the sun. There's three on you.
00:34:50
The Blade's Edge
Shield up um the very the very first one you've you've seen this story before is going to take a claw attack to try and grapple you.
00:35:02
The Blade's Edge
That's a dirty 20.
00:35:02
Alma Graves
Don't forget the words. Don't forget the words.
00:35:04
Vesz'rak
Oh, yeah, I live off of the hanger that the dirt 20 will hit.
00:35:04
Alma Graves
Live, laugh, love, Lathander.
00:35:08
The Blade's Edge
Okay. As he, as he hits you, he then grabs you and brings you in for a bite at advantage.
00:35:14
Vesz'rak
He's going to kiss me.
00:35:16
The Blade's Edge
That's a 23.
00:35:17
Vesz'rak
Yeah, that'll do it, bro.
00:35:18
The Blade's Edge
Okay. You stick six points of piercing damage as his teeth bite into your neck.
00:35:25
The Blade's Edge
Uh, in addition to the six points of piercing damage, you take six points of necrotic damage and your maximum hit points is reduced by that amount.
00:35:32
Vesz'rak
I'm good. I'm cut i'm good. I'm good.
00:35:42
The Blade's Edge
Uh, and I need you to make a, but just one concentration check.
00:35:46
The Blade's Edge
So the one that you have lit up in fair fire, you've already attacked has you grappled.
00:35:50
Alma Graves
Do you still have beyond ah protection from good and evil activated?
00:35:54
Alma Graves
Or was that divine sense that you did?
00:35:55
The Blade's Edge
That was divine sense.
00:35:56
Alma Graves
I don't remember.
00:35:56
Vesz'rak
That was divine sense.
00:35:59
The Blade's Edge
Um, both these other vampires, as this guy's got you grappled and has taken a bite out of you are both just going to use their claws as your grapple to sort of rake at your head and face.
00:36:12
Vesz'rak
These guys hate me, dude.
00:36:12
The Blade's Edge
Uh, uh, you're holding the sunsword. These guys seem like they know what it is.
00:36:16
Vesz'rak
So true. He doesn't like me very much.
00:36:19
The Blade's Edge
Um, this is the first, uh, two dirty twenties.
00:36:24
Vesz'rak
Oh, Brian, what are we doing here?
00:36:27
Vesz'rak
Yeah. Yeah. That'll hit that up for sure.
00:36:28
The Blade's Edge
Okay. For a total each claw attack from that guy does eight damage for a total of 16.
00:36:35
Vesz'rak
Oh boy. I don't like, let's just, let's just make what they're clear. Barovia don't take a vacation here. Let me just tell you that much.
00:36:43
Alma Graves
yeah I wouldn't choose this place.
00:36:43
The Blade's Edge
And let me get, uh, let me get two concentration checks from you. Do you see 10 on both?
00:36:52
Vesz'rak
Just like I never left.
00:36:54
The Blade's Edge
The, uh, let me grab this. do Okay. The fairy fire fades. Triple F.
00:37:07
The Blade's Edge
Um, okay.
00:37:07
Vesz'rak
Well, well, that was fun. Well, I said, yeah,
00:37:09
The Blade's Edge
Hey, it was good. Got a couple of great, good good hits on one.
00:37:12
Vesz'rak
we got a view. We got a view that don't make me feel better, but we got a few swings in there.
00:37:15
The Blade's Edge
And then the last one on you is going to make two claw attacks advantage. Uh, it's only a 17.
00:37:23
Vesz'rak
eighteen a c eighteen
Tactical Struggles and Vampire Combat
00:37:25
The Blade's Edge
17 misses 17 misses this one.
00:37:28
The Blade's Edge
Uh, your, your shield is on your left arm.
00:37:30
The Blade's Edge
Is that right? So the one on the right claws you, the your your your sword arm, and your that that neck, while the one in front of you has you grappled, and it's biting the other side of your neck.
00:37:40
The Blade's Edge
And then the one to your left tries to claw you twice, but you stick your shield out, and it claws your shield twice.
00:37:47
The Blade's Edge
That is all of their turns. Inabi, you're up.
00:37:52
Trevor
All right. I am going to try and swing at the one right in front of me with a ah with a rapier and I'm going to try and green flame blade this guy.
00:38:06
The Blade's Edge
green flame
00:38:08
Trevor
Green flame blade.
00:38:12
The Blade's Edge
11 will miss.
00:38:12
Trevor
I'm going to use my inspiration on it. Fuck it.
00:38:17
Trevor
Please. Let's go. Twenty five.
00:38:19
The Blade's Edge
Five hits.
00:38:20
Trevor
Let's go. That'll be four damage plus a D.
00:38:28
Vesz'rak
You're singing though, you're singing.
00:38:31
The Blade's Edge
He's singing the word requiem over and over again.
00:38:33
Trevor
ha Plus a D8, so plus another four of fire.
00:38:39
Trevor
And then I think the guy back here will take a D8 plus my spell casting modifier. So three plus three, six fire damage.
00:38:52
The Blade's Edge
Nice. You swing. um You hit him with that. The fire green flame goes to the other one and lights him up. And as that happens, the old man next to you says, um says, ah if we survive this, why do I have something for you? Quite the swordsman.
00:39:14
Trevor
I'll raise my eyebrows at that, get a little excited, but also but bonus action, pull out another, I'll cast Shadow Blade, and like go back to pull out another sword, but it like makes a sword out of nothing, you know what I mean?
00:39:29
Trevor
Like I'm unsheathing some shadowy stuff, and now I'm concentrating on it.
00:39:30
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Love that. Okay. um You're concentrating on that. And bash your up.
00:39:44
Kyle
He has a question. First of all, how do I ping in 20?
00:39:51
The Blade's Edge
Just hold down your mouse.
00:39:53
Kyle
Can I move to this square like because I have to move through one of the vampires? Can I still move here?
00:39:58
The Blade's Edge
You can't move through the vampire's token. Um, but you can attempt to climb one of these things on the side like this vampire did and move around it.
00:40:10
The Blade's Edge
Uh, and that's not gonna be an action, but you don't have a climb speed. So basically just the five feet it would take to get up on that pallets will be considered 10 feet.
00:40:21
The Blade's Edge
So one of your squares of movement would just count as like double movement.
00:40:26
Kyle
Gotcha. Okay, so can I climb onto this one right here?
00:40:29
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Yeah. Henrik, this old man who you get, you don't know his name yet, but his name's Henrik Van Der, Van Der, Vort. ah you moo He lets you move through sort of backs up against the wall and goes, go get him.
00:40:41
Kyle
Perfect. I'm gonna climb onto here. Teeth gridding through. I'm baring my teeth and I'm going to rage as a bonus action.
00:40:52
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Doop, doop, doop, doop, doop.
00:40:57
Kyle
And I'm going to take a swing at this guy right here, the one that's on the.
00:41:02
The Blade's Edge
ah Normal swing or is this reckless?
00:41:05
Kyle
ah This is not going to be Reckless. You know what? Fuck it. It's gonna be reckless.
00:41:16
The Blade's Edge
Nice. The ah veins in your neck start to bulge and you swing.
00:41:18
Alma Graves
He's getting crazy.
00:41:24
Kyle
Okay, that is a 16 to hit or a 26 to hit.
00:41:30
The Blade's Edge
That hits swinging the blood acts.
00:41:33
Kyle
Beautiful. Gonna be...
00:41:38
Kyle
ah It's gonna be 11 damage.
00:41:41
The Blade's Edge
Nice. Your first attack hits the great acts sinking into this thing's collarbone, snapping it in half as it goes deep into its chest.
00:41:49
The Blade's Edge
You pull it out.
00:41:51
Kyle

00:42:03
Vesz'rak
Shopping on the tree.
00:42:05
Kyle
Is this one also reckless?
00:42:07
The Blade's Edge
It is a reckless gives you advantage on all your attacks, but also all attacks against you have advantage.
00:42:11
The Blade's Edge
Tell your next turn.

Kyle

00:42:30
Kyle
It seems wrong. It's gonna be 18. Yeah, 18 points of damage.
00:42:32
The Blade's Edge
18, you do 29 points of damage to this thing, sinking your axe into it twice.
00:42:40
The Blade's Edge
It looks pretty fucked up. Is that your turn?
00:42:43
Kyle
That is going to be my turn.
00:42:46
The Blade's Edge
All right, Desan, the start of round two of five before somebody is called, you've heard.

The Blade's Edge
Okay. Is that an action?
00:43:30
Vesz'rak
Oh, as an action note. No! Okay, just kidding. I'm not doing that.
00:43:35

00:45:25
Trevor
Okay. What is that? What is, does that do anything mechanically for?
00:45:29
The Blade's Edge
I mean, you don't, you don't really know, but yeah, you've you've seen some stuff happen last time at the church when they had taken radiant damage.
00:45:31
Trevor
Okay. Got it. Got it.
00:45:36
Vesz'rak
Oh, I thought I could like just.
00:45:36
Trevor
Right. Right. I wanted to make sure it wasn't like an and advantage thing or something, but okay.
00:45:40
The Blade's Edge
No. Now it lasts a turn.
00:45:41
Vesz'rak
I thought I could like dot up everybody with the sun sword.
00:45:43
Vesz'rak
So it doesn't seem like that's the case. Okay. Okay. Okay. Got it. Got it.
00:45:49
The Blade's Edge
um All right, Alma, you're up.
00:45:51
Alma Graves
All right, so we are going to add the one directly to the north of Desan, the one that I think I hit the first time, right?
00:46:03
The Blade's Edge
Mm-hmm, yep.
00:46:04
Alma Graves
Yeah, I'm gonna take another fire off at that one as I climb up onto this ah box, this crate.
00:46:11
The Blade's Edge
Nice. 10 feet of movement. And you fire those off no longer at advantage. But that one's looking pretty hurt.
00:46:17
Alma Graves
First one is coming at a 19.
00:46:20
The Blade's Edge
That hits.
00:46:21
Alma Graves
Oh, I'm blasting for 10 force damage.
00:46:26
Alma Graves
Okay, second one coming out.
00:46:30
Alma Graves
That's gonna be a 14.
00:46:31
The Blade's Edge
14 just misses their 15 AC.
00:46:34
Alma Graves
Just misses, okay, and then as a bonus action, I'm gonna cast, ah let's see, ah my Healing Light, um which is a feature that I have from being a Celestial Cleric.
00:46:46
Alma Graves
um So as a bonus action, I have a pool of D6 that fuel my magical healing.
00:46:51
Alma Graves
So I can expend up to five healing dice at once. I'm going to expend all five of them.
00:46:58
The Blade's Edge
Nice. Just go ahead and link that for us just so we can see if it is touch or not.
00:47:05
Alma Graves
It is not. It is one creature within 60 feet.
00:47:07
The Blade's Edge
Heal yourself one creature. Nice. Okay.
00:47:11
Alma Graves
So um I am using five of the six that I have.
00:47:11
The Blade's Edge
So you're doing all of them.
00:47:16
Alma Graves
or actually I have seven, I have seven. So I'm going to give my boy Dusan a lot of ones and twos and threes.
00:47:27
Alma Graves
So 11 health of a potential 30, we like that, we like that.
00:47:31
Alma Graves
But it's something my guy, it's something, okay, something my guy.
00:47:32
Vesz'rak
It's something. It's something.
00:47:37
Alma Graves
um And then that is my turn.
00:47:40
The Blade's Edge
Okay, on the vampires turn, you see some of them regain a little health. Some of them start to regenerate health, who have not been hit by the sunsword.
00:48:00
The Blade's Edge
Okay, um this guy is going to Uh, go five, 10, 15, 20. And we're going to get, uh, attack on bash, attack on a Nabi attack on Alma. Each one of them is going to use their first attack to try to grapple you and then bite your neck. So bash on you first. This is an advantage. Uh, 19.
00:48:34
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Hits you. And now he's going to attempt to bite you and now you are grappled. That's a natural 20.
00:48:40
Alma Graves
Can I use my divine inspiration on it?
00:48:41
Kyle
Oh yeah. Wait, ah I'm going to use a luck point ah to have him reroll.
00:48:45
Alma Graves
Silvery barbs. Oh, love you.
00:48:47
The Blade's Edge
Oh yeah. Here's the reroll for the bite.
00:48:49
Kyle
Oh, wait, wait, wait. is Did you roll that at an advantage?
00:48:51
Vesz'rak
We have silvery bites at home.
00:48:54
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. But I could just roll you another d20 if you want to use your luck point.
00:48:58
Kyle
the The luck point ah just imposes disadvantage on the roll.
00:49:03
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, I'm telling you i if you spend a lot of point, I'll just rear I'll just roll in another d20.
00:49:09
Kyle
Okay, okay, that's fine.
00:49:10
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. So if if you want to do that or not.
00:49:14
Kyle
Yeah, yeah, let's do that.
00:49:15
The Blade's Edge
OK, cool.
00:49:15
Kyle
I just don't want a natural 20.
00:49:17
The Blade's Edge
Cool. And he misses with the early.
00:49:18
The Blade's Edge
Does the 12 hit you?
00:49:21
The Blade's Edge
OK, cool. So he grapples you and then he goes to bite your neck, but something in your family lineage driven by this blood acts in your hand, formerly the blood spear.
00:49:33
The Blade's Edge
um Something moves like you don't even you don't even realize that your muscles are moving as the top of the axe ah goes and puts the blade of the axe in the thing's mouth as it chomps down its teeth hit the top of your axe.
00:49:50
The Blade's Edge
You are grappled but it was Miss Inabi.
00:49:55
The Blade's Edge
This one's gonna attempt to grapple you first. That's a dirty 20.
00:49:58
Trevor
We. I'm going to shield.
00:50:01
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Dirty 20. He goes to grapple you. It does not work. So his second attack will not be a bite. It'll just be a claw that comes at you.
00:50:10
The Blade's Edge
And he'll miss with your shield up.
00:50:13
The Blade's Edge
You cannot get at you. Alma.
00:50:19
The Blade's Edge
This one who that was a ready to action that it never got to use because nobody approached with a 21. He goes to grapple you.
00:50:27
Alma Graves
That's going to hit.
00:50:28
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Would you like to use your, you can use your DM inspiration if you want me to reroll.
00:50:32
Alma Graves
o No, I'm going to stick with it. I'm going to let it ride.
00:50:36
The Blade's Edge
Okay. And then here comes the bite at advantage. Natural 20.
00:50:40
Alma Graves
and Okay. I'm going to use my DM inspiration on that natural 20.
00:50:44
Trevor
Good thing he saved it.
00:50:46
Kyle
Ryan's rolling hot, dude.
00:50:49
Alma Graves
13, uh, pizza pizza.
00:50:52
The Blade's Edge
Okay, so the bite still hits, but it is not a crit. You take six points of piercing damage.
00:51:00
The Blade's Edge
And four points of necrotic damage for a total of 10.
00:51:05
The Blade's Edge
Whoops, sorry. 10, not 120. And your ah ah max HP is reduced by four.
00:51:10
Alma Graves
Okay, so if that didn't break off my temp HP, so it just takes off my max HP, right?
00:51:17
The Blade's Edge
ah That's a good question. Equal to the necrotic.
00:51:20
Alma Graves
Because it didn't technically hit my my health pool.
00:51:24
The Blade's Edge
Um, do, you do, do.
00:51:26
Alma Graves
Because then it would make the damage be like 14. or
00:51:29
The Blade's Edge
Uh, well, the targets hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken.
00:51:35
Alma Graves
or... All right, I'm going to reduce the max HP by four.
00:51:40
The Blade's Edge
All right. And then there's three on you.
00:51:44
Alma Graves
I'm really quick, I'm going to use a ah spell, a reaction, to cast Hellish Rebuke.
00:51:51
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Dex save.
00:51:52
Alma Graves
Yeah, it's going to be a Dex Save, and then that is going to be coming out four.
00:51:56
The Blade's Edge
He fails.
00:51:58
Alma Graves
um Hold on, I need to see if it casts, what spell does it cast, level does it cast at?
00:52:03
The Blade's Edge
Just first.
00:52:04
Alma Graves
Baa baa baa. First level, okay, cool. Elish Rebuke, come on then. Give me the money now.
00:52:16
Alma Graves
Only six damage, but, oh, and Radiant Soul damage, cool.
00:52:20
The Blade's Edge
What's that?
00:52:21
Alma Graves
I don't know, where does that come from?
00:52:24
Alma Graves
Radiant Soul.
00:52:26
The Blade's Edge
You tell me.
00:52:27
Alma Graves
Yeah, I'm looking for it. Oh, you have resistance to radiant damage. Once per turn, when a spell you cast deals radiant or fire damage, you can add plus five to that spells damage against one of the spells targets.
00:52:37
The Blade's Edge
Nice. um Ah, OK.
00:52:39
Alma Graves
That says it's from PHP 2024. I don't know why I have that on my sheet. Oh, so let's just not do that.
00:52:45
The Blade's Edge
That's OK. Well, we'll we'll figure that out in a second.
00:52:50
The Blade's Edge
Just on.
00:52:53
The Blade's Edge
Three. are coming at you. The one to your north is going to try and grapple you first.

00:53:26
Vesz'rak
I'm sweating, okay, go for it.
00:53:27
The Blade's Edge
The guy to your right, going to go for another grapple.
00:53:32
Vesz'rak
Yep, yep, that'll do it.
00:53:32
The Blade's Edge
Dirty 20. OK, so the first attack, all he does is grapple.
00:53:36
The Blade's Edge
Second attack goes in for the bite. 17.
00:53:40
Vesz'rak
Yeah, it misses, woo, 18, AC 18.
00:53:41
The Blade's Edge
Misses. You sort of shrug your shoulder like boxers do up as he tries to get at your neck.
00:53:47
The Blade's Edge
ah And he bites into your armor at your shoulder, your pauldron.
00:53:51
The Blade's Edge

Okay. He falls.
00:59:09
Vesz'rak
This is Marta. What's up?
00:59:10
The Blade's Edge
He falls 20 feet and takes 14 points of damage. Honestly, not too shabby. Those are your two, uh, attacks on grapple, kick him out the window falls 20 feet.
00:59:22
The Blade's Edge
Um, and let's just for fun, a role mode, a dexterity save. We'll see if he's prone. Um, call it.
00:59:29
Vesz'rak
And I hear the sun is shining outside, Brian. Is that true?
00:59:32
The Blade's Edge
Uh, no, actually I literally just said all of brovis didn't dim light for an hobby.
00:59:36
Vesz'rak
Are you sure? Are you sure?
00:59:37
The Blade's Edge
So DC 15 for him to be prone.
00:59:38
Vesz'rak
Brian, can we double check on the, uh, okay.
00:59:41
The Blade's Edge
He's plus six, not prone, but he does fall. That's your, your action.
00:59:48
The Blade's Edge
All right. Shield up at your turn.
00:59:52
Vesz'rak
Yep. That's all I got.
00:59:53
The Blade's Edge
All right. Henrik's going to make another, he grabs another plank of wood because the first one flew out of his hands with a four and he missed.
01:00:00
The Blade's Edge
He grabs the other one and goes beast take this. Uh, he rolls a 13 and misses a second plank goes flying out of his hand and hits the wall. Fuck.
01:00:09
Kyle
uh it reminds me of uh reminds me of shot of the dead when they're throwing the vinyls at the zombie
01:00:12
Vesz'rak
He's tried his best as hard as in the right place.
01:00:13
The Blade's Edge
Back in my day, I used to be quite the warrior. I'll i'll show you it, Mr.
01:00:18
The Blade's Edge
Baldman. Mr. Baldman, I was quite the warrior like you.
01:00:26
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Alma, you are up.
01:00:32
Alma Graves
All right, so I think it's time to get a little freaky. um I am going to cast.
01:00:41
Alma Graves
Let's see, huh, cube within range, each creature in the area.
01:00:47
Alma Graves
um Let's see, with hypnotic pattern, that would hit my homies too, right, wouldn't it?
01:00:51
The Blade's Edge
Unless it specifies that you can choose them, then yes, unfortunately, unless you place it in such a way where it won't.
01:00:58
Alma Graves
it says ah each creature in the area who can see the pattern must succeed on a wisdom saving throw.
01:01:05
Alma Graves
So I would i would just need to, yeah, right.
01:01:10
Alma Graves
um Then since this guy is just right up and on me right now, ah I am going to cast aid on me
01:01:29
Alma Graves
Desan and 60 feet or 30, 30 feet, 30 feet.
01:01:31
The Blade's Edge
I suppose the range on aid. Nice.
01:01:36
Alma Graves
Is he further than 30, 35?
01:01:37
The Blade's Edge
He's 35.
01:01:38
Alma Graves
All right. So it's just the three of us then.
01:01:40
The Blade's Edge
You give it to Henrik as well.
01:01:43
Alma Graves
Nah, it's just the three of us.
01:01:46
Alma Graves
Oh, everybody gets an extra 10 to their, to their max HP and current HP.
01:01:53
The Blade's Edge
All right. 10 to your max and current bash and a Nabi and Alma.
01:02:03
Alma Graves
Okay, so Brian, since I'm currently at a four negative, would it go up 10 from there or 10 from the OG max?
01:02:04
The Blade's Edge
What the fuck?
01:02:07
The Blade's Edge
Go from, from the four negative.
01:02:13
Alma Graves
That's what I thought, okay, cool.
01:02:16
The Blade's Edge
All right. That's your action. Any bonus action.
01:02:19
Alma Graves
Bonus action is going to be ah nothing.
01:02:26
The Blade's Edge
Okay. On the vampires turns.
01:02:32
The Blade's Edge
ah You see some of them regain some health. Hold on.
01:02:49
The Blade's Edge
All right. And each one is going to try a grapple bite. Classic. Bash coming at you first.
01:02:56
The Blade's Edge
No longer at advantage. 15.
01:03:00
Kyle
That's insane. Yeah, it hits.
01:03:02
The Blade's Edge
ah He grapples you and then he attempts to bite you. With a 25, the bite hits. You take six points of piercing damage halved to three because you are raging.
01:03:12
The Blade's Edge
But you do take four points of necrotic damage and your hit point maximum is reduced by four.
01:03:22
The Blade's Edge
Inabi, this one goes to grapple you and misses.
01:03:27
The Blade's Edge
Uh, and then he will just take a claw attack at you and misses 13 misses.
01:03:33
Alma Graves
How is your AC so low?
01:03:34
The Blade's Edge
Alma bash.
01:03:38
The Blade's Edge
They don't wear armor.
01:03:41
Alma Graves
Well, i I thought that you would have like probably 15 or 16 with the braces of defense too. I know he's got those. I don't know the stats though.
01:03:51
Alma Graves
Do you have low decks or something?
01:03:54
Kyle
Uh, yeah, I have nine decks.
01:03:56
Alma Graves
Oh, well that explains some things.
01:03:56
The Blade's Edge
that's why That's why Alma, this one goes to grapple you, uh, with a 19 and then it's going to take a bite into your neck with a 20.
01:04:05
Alma Graves
19, yeah, that's going to hit.
01:04:12
The Blade's Edge
Uh, you take six points of piercing damage, uh, and nine points of necrotic damage and your hit point maximum is reduced by nine.
01:04:21
Alma Graves
Okay. So hit point maximum. I mean, this is, let's see, hold on. We're going to do that. Produce by nine.
01:04:29
Trevor
Snip, snap, snip, snap.
01:04:29
Alma Graves
Okay. Yeah. I'm like, I'm up, I'm up, I'm down, I'm um um up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm down.
01:04:35
The Blade's Edge
All right, Desan, you're looking at these two and they're looking at you.
01:04:45
The Blade's Edge
And one looks like he's about to grab you, but you hear to the east on the side of the house.
01:04:53
Vesz'rak
Oh, yeah, we're doing about the window again.
01:04:53
Trevor
yeah He's clapping.
01:04:54
The Blade's Edge
And you look at the window and parallel to the window, but snapping up, running up the side of the houses.
01:04:56
Trevor
Oh, he didn't think about that.
01:05:00
Trevor
That's actually so funny.
01:05:04
Alma Graves
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:06
Trevor
That's actually so funny.
01:05:07
Alma Graves
Get him Van Helsing! Get him Van Helsing!
01:05:09
Vesz'rak
I'll do it it. I'll do it again.
01:05:10
The Blade's Edge
As he runs up with his spider climb, that one will be the one that tries to grapple you. And he misses, so he'll take a claw attack on you and miss.
01:05:22
The Blade's Edge
But he did get up there. So the one in front of you will just take two claw attacks.
01:05:28
The Blade's Edge
It's a 14.
01:05:30
The Blade's Edge
And a nine. Well, I've rolled three threes on these guys.
01:05:33
The Blade's Edge
And the one to your left will attempt a grapple bite.
01:05:39
The Blade's Edge
24 to grapple and here comes the bite 24 Okay, you take ah six points of piercing damage
01:05:40
Vesz'rak
fuck Yeah, give me the bite. Oh, boy.
01:05:44
Kyle
Oh my... yeah Oh wait, no, that's not damage.
Debating Game Mechanics
01:05:51
The Blade's Edge
and Five points of necrotic and your hit point maximum is reduced by five Six and five so 11 total but your hit point maximum is reduced by five and
01:05:57
Vesz'rak
not Five more? OK. OK, I just want to double check. OK, so it doesn't stack.
01:06:09
The Blade's Edge
The five points of damage that you take comes off your maximum as well as you taking it.
01:06:16
Vesz'rak
I know, but I already had minus six to my maximum earlier, do those stack.
01:06:20
Vesz'rak
Okay, just wanted to double check.
01:06:20
The Blade's Edge
Every time we take one of these bite things, your pay by maximum gets reduced.
01:06:24
Vesz'rak
Shit's fucked up. All right, so, ah all right. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
01:06:28
The Blade's Edge
All right.
01:06:28
Trevor
Five more whoppers?
01:06:31
The Blade's Edge
All right. It not be you're up. Things are looking things are looking dire.
01:06:37
Kyle
Yeah, we haven't killed one by the way.
01:06:39
The Blade's Edge
You have not killed one and it might be, it might be time you guys all attack one.
01:06:46
The Blade's Edge
So that each, everybody trying to solo one, especially because you're seeing them heal every turn and you're seeing them heal for 10 HP.
01:06:55
The Blade's Edge
So if you don't even do 10 HP to it, yeah it's not even taking damage that turn.
01:07:01
Vesz'rak
Guys, coach is right.
01:07:04
Vesz'rak
which we We should be working together as a team.
01:07:09
Trevor
Let's see. um Yeah. Which one can we all reach?
01:07:15
Trevor
You um you have like range, right?
01:07:16
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. And, and Desan and Alma, you guys both did almost like 60 points of damage to this far one, and then nobody's touched it again since.
01:07:25
The Blade's Edge
And it's just been healing every round.
01:07:28
The Blade's Edge
So whereas it might've been close to death, it now has 20 extra hit points that it didn't have before.
01:07:39
Trevor
Um... Okay. Fuck it. I'll ball. Uh... I don't know if this is the right move or not. I'm gonna fuckin' misty step. I'm gonna use my blessing of the Raven Queen.
01:07:50
Trevor
Uh, and go... And I... Wait, wait, wait. Actually, hang on. Potentially just kidding. Just kidding.
01:07:58
Kyle
I feel like we should focus on one of the ones that are closest to us, like this one in the center, right?
01:08:04
Trevor
Yeah, I'm sure I think that since he's surround, it's one dude on three over there and we have, you know what I mean? Where if they, if we have range back here, we can all, well, I guess he might have range too.
01:08:11
Kyle
Yeah, no, it's positioning is.
01:08:19
Trevor
Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. I'll stay. Um, I'll smack this middle guy right in front of me.
01:08:31
The Blade's Edge
That hits.
01:08:33
Trevor
for 10 damage and then shadow blade 18 nice
01:08:42
The Blade's Edge
That hits.
01:08:58
The Blade's Edge
All right. It screeches at you. Any movement?
01:09:02
Trevor
ah Actually, you know what? I'll try and go... Can I just climb up in between these two?
01:09:10
Trevor
So Alma has some more space to move around if she wants.
01:09:16
The Blade's Edge
Um, all right. Bash her up.
01:09:20
Kyle
Um, do any of them look bloodied?
01:09:25
The Blade's Edge
Not any of the ones by you guys.
01:09:28
The Blade's Edge
The only one that does is the one in the far that's the, the sun and Alma both ganged up on for the very first round.
01:09:38
The Blade's Edge
It's still bloody, but it's gained HP back.
01:09:41
The Blade's Edge
So cool.
01:09:42
Kyle
All right. Well, I'm just going to swing at the the one in the middle and it's going to be reckless.
01:09:47
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. You're up higher than it to swing down on top of its head. So you have advantage on both attacks.
01:09:58
Kyle
Uh, it's going to be 23, but I'll roll for a potential. Oh, so close.
01:10:04
The Blade's Edge
29 hits slicing and Dyson.
01:10:05
Kyle
29 to hit. Or 11 damage. This D12 loves to roll twos.
01:10:12
The Blade's Edge
It's very unfortunate.
01:10:13
Kyle
um But 11 damage on that. And then 15.
01:10:16
The Blade's Edge
He's bloodied 15 will hit. That is there. You see 95 hits.
01:10:26
The Blade's Edge
Nice. 15 points of damage to that thing. It's bloodied. You slice
Dramatic Battle Moments
01:10:31
The Blade's Edge
down into its head, cutting off one of the side of its face and one of its ears. Uh, you see you even sliced off part of its skull. Its brain is exposed. Um, any bonus action or movement.
01:10:50
The Blade's Edge
Okay. DeSaun last two rounds.
01:10:54
Vesz'rak
All right. con Yeah.
01:10:55
The Blade's Edge
before things get worse.
01:10:56
Vesz'rak
Controversial. Uh, to my last few rounds, I will stay grappled. Unfortunately for me, uh, taking a calculated risk.
01:11:06
Vesz'rak
I'm swinging at the far one that's bloodied on top of me.
01:11:09
Vesz'rak
Uh, swinging sunsword out, please. Anybody 20 damage, one handed 15 damage.
01:11:15
Kyle
High rolls, high rolls.
01:11:17
The Blade's Edge
20 damage will hit. 20 to hit will hit, yes. Ooh, yeah, baby.
01:11:24
Vesz'rak
How are they looking?
01:11:25
The Blade's Edge
It's still up. Still bloodied.
01:11:27
Vesz'rak
OK, how do you feel about a divine smite?
01:11:29
The Blade's Edge
I feel great about that.
01:11:31
Vesz'rak
14? An additional 14?
01:11:32
The Blade's Edge
That's a great, that's a great move considering they're undead.
01:11:36
Vesz'rak
And an additional 7 damage, Brian?
01:11:38
Vesz'rak
i am I am not fucking around. I i might die.
01:11:40
The Blade's Edge
So, so 21 plus 15 is 36, right?
01:11:48
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure. If that's, yeah, sure. If that's how math works, I guess.
01:11:51
Alma Graves
Oh yeah, is that math?
01:11:52
Vesz'rak
yeah ah Look, I'm here to swing swords.
01:11:55
Vesz'rak
I'm not a smart man anymore.
01:11:56
The Blade's Edge
Uh, this, this vampire spawn who two turns ago had 14 health, who worked its way back up to 34.
01:11:56
Alma Graves
Yeah, math man, just the math.
01:12:03
The Blade's Edge
How do you kill this guy?
01:12:05
Vesz'rak
Uh, head coming off. Absolutely. Head coming off.
01:12:09
The Blade's Edge
While still grappled, you swing your, the sun sword, you behead, uh, one of the vampire spawns on your first attack. The light of lathander fills the room.
01:12:21
Vesz'rak
Okay, perfect, and then I'm going to thrust my sword into the one that's grappling me by the window.
01:12:27
The Blade's Edge
OK. That's actually the one to the west that's grappling you.
01:12:30
Vesz'rak
i so I said what I said, I'm still hitting the one by the window.
01:12:34
Vesz'rak
ah Is there any way I can push it out the window again, with the sword but but but with the sword?
01:12:39
The Blade's Edge
If you roll the nat 20, he'll go out the window.
01:12:41
Vesz'rak
All right, call the lightning, I'm standing up.
01:12:43
Alma Graves
Call the lightning.
01:12:44
Vesz'rak
I'm standing up.
01:12:44
Alma Graves
Tommy does it.
01:12:45
The Blade's Edge
OK, I'm standing up.
01:12:46
Vesz'rak
All right, it's on sword.
01:12:49
Vesz'rak
Lev is not gonna do it, I think.
01:12:50
Alma Graves
Oh, that is not going to do it.
01:12:51
The Blade's Edge
11 does not even hit.
01:12:57
Alma Graves
Would have been cool.
01:12:58
Vesz'rak
Hey, Brian, that's my turn. I'm sitting back down.
01:13:01
The Blade's Edge
Okay. um Henrik picks up his third plank and he's going to swing at this guy in the middle.
01:13:10
Trevor
Never seen you miss these a day in your life.
01:13:10
Vesz'rak
Come on, Henrik.
01:13:12
The Blade's Edge
17 hits.
01:13:15
Vesz'rak
Please kill it. Henrik kills it for sure.
01:13:16
The Blade's Edge
yeah He rolls and he smacks it in the head for two points of bludgeoning damage.
01:13:23
The Blade's Edge
Uh, this is the one that bash actually just chopped off its ear and part of its skull. So the board hits it, an exposed brain on the side of its head.
01:13:31
Vesz'rak
It's not much but it's honest work.
01:13:31
The Blade's Edge
That's disgusting. Um, that is his turn. Alma, you're up.
01:13:38
Alma Graves
So Brian, I wanna do something, but I'm curious to see if I can do like, ah let's do like a religion roll or something to see if the spell daylight would affect vampires.
01:13:49
The Blade's Edge
Uh, but yeah, you tell me what you want to do. I'll tell you what role to give me, but you're trying to see if daylight will affect vampires.
01:13:52
Alma Graves
Sure, I... Yeah, so I have the spell Daylight, 60 foot radius, sphere of bright, brilliant daylight, the likes of which has not been seen in Barovia due to its natural dim light conditions in a long time.
01:14:07
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Uh, go ahead and you can roll me a religion check or you can roll me a history check, different DCs and different information for either.
01:14:15
Alma Graves
I'm gonna go Religion.
01:14:19
Alma Graves
And that's gonna be a 17, Religion.
01:14:21
The Blade's Edge
Okay. With a 17, uh, what's the spell again?
01:14:28
The Blade's Edge
Daylight.
01:14:28
Alma Graves
It's a celestial spell.
01:14:29
The Blade's Edge
Nice. So now I need you to make me an arcana check and I'll give you advantage on this.
01:14:32
Alma Graves
Absolutely. Plus four. First one's a 10. Second one is an 11. Yee-tah! ah
01:14:41
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Um, uh, do, do, do.
01:14:52
The Blade's Edge
So, um, you do know that if a vampire is in sunlight, a vampire will regain has, they have regenerative properties for most of them. It's different depending on the, how high ranking the vampire is, but for a vampire spawn, they'll regain 10 hit points at the start of their turns. If it, ah if it at least has one hit point, if it isn't in sunlight or running water,
01:15:20
The Blade's Edge
If the vampire takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of the vampire's next turn. So if it is in sunlight, it will not work with an 11 arcana check.
01:15:34
The Blade's Edge
The spell daylight does not generate sunlight. It generates daylight, but you do know there are higher level spells that do generate sunlight.
01:15:43
Alma Graves
Okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
01:15:45
The Blade's Edge
Dawn sunbeam sunburst. Uh, and there might be one or two more.
01:15:50
The Blade's Edge
But the daylight spell just, uh, it's not technically sunlight, but you do know that and you get a little bit of extra information about running water, holy water, et cetera as well.
01:16:00
Alma Graves
Sure. Alrighty. Well then I am going to, uh, not cast Daylight, because that wouldn't do anything. um I am going to cast Eldritch Blast at disadvantage, because she's on top of me, right?
01:16:16
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Okay. The one in front of you.
01:16:19
Alma Graves
Oh, I'm going to try to cast at the one over on bat over by Bash that they've been smacking up.
01:16:23
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Cool. Well, then that, yeah, that won't be at disadvantage.
01:16:25
Kyle
The one in the center, right?
01:16:26
Trevor
You should guess this.
01:16:27
Alma Graves
One in the center, yeah, one in the center, sorry.
01:16:29
Kyle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
01:16:30
The Blade's Edge
Cool. Cool. Well, that will not be at disadvantage.
01:16:33
Alma Graves
All right, cool, so first one coming out. is a 24 to hit.
01:16:38
The Blade's Edge
That hit nice tool if i've hits.
01:16:39
Alma Graves
We're dropping a 7 force damage bomb.
01:16:44
Alma Graves
Second one coming out, another force damage bomb.
01:16:47
Alma Graves
For a 25 to hit.
01:16:49
The Blade's Edge
He's rolling hot.
01:16:50
Alma Graves
We're popping 13 force damage through that exposed brain cavity.
01:16:54
The Blade's Edge
Nice. So describe what it looks like when this when you kill this guy.
01:16:58
Alma Graves
Yeah, the Eldritch Blast for this one doesn't travel quite as quickly as the previous ones, and it... wo wo goes right into the ear and then explodes the brain like scanners style.
01:17:12
The Blade's Edge
Nice brains explode all over everybody. Henrik uses his board to hold it up as a shield. Oh, no.
01:17:21
Alma Graves
That's gross.
01:17:21
The Blade's Edge
Gross. Yes.
01:17:24
Alma Graves
We've been dealing with the gross for months.
01:17:26
The Blade's Edge
and Action, you've killed one. Now two of the six are now dead. Any bonus actions or what would you like to do?
01:17:32
Alma Graves
As my bonus action, I'm gonna hit a,
01:17:44
Alma Graves
I'm gonna use my Healing Light, expend healing on Desan.
01:17:47
The Blade's Edge
OK, you have two left.
01:17:49
Alma Graves
Two left, and these are my final two.
01:17:52
Alma Graves
Two coming your way, I hope they're good. Ah, 12.
01:17:56
Trevor
Let's go, holy shit.
01:17:57
Alma Graves
12 health, baby.
01:17:57
The Blade's Edge
12 healing.
01:17:59
Alma Graves
That's what I'm talking about.
01:18:00
The Blade's Edge
The light of Lathander heals you, D'Saun, and you hear a little hitting the grounds around your feet, and you realize that ah the cobwebs in this room, the spiders from above as you are healed for this 12 all die and fall and hit the ground.
01:18:18
Alma Graves
Live, laugh, love with Fander, and that is my turn.
01:18:21
The Blade's Edge
Okay. The vampires will now go. Uh, bash, this one is going to, um, attempts to grapple you first.
01:18:38
The Blade's Edge
He grapples you.
01:18:40
Kyle
I'm using a luck point.
01:18:41
The Blade's Edge
and Okay.
01:18:42
Kyle
Uh, cause I think- wait, did I- was I reckless?
01:18:45
The Blade's Edge
Oh, you were reckless.
01:18:46
The Blade's Edge
They would have had advantage. Okay. I just rolled his advantage. So the advantage hits because the 12 would have still been 18. So you want me to reroll that?
01:18:53
Kyle
Okay. Uh, yeah, with the luck point, yeah.
01:18:57
The Blade's Edge
Not one.
01:18:58
Vesz'rak
Oh hey Brian at least you're rolling hot across the board, huh?
01:19:00
The Blade's Edge
um He tries to grapple you and falls down off that thing. We'll say he takes six points of falling damage.
01:19:07
The Blade's Edge
Jesus Christ.
01:19:07
Kyle
That's fucking stupid.
01:19:09
The Blade's Edge
So much. That's way, that's way too much. um As he hits the ground, he twisted his ankle so badly that his his foot, his leg snapped at his calf.
01:19:23
The Blade's Edge
He stops and goes, oh, oh, wait, stop, stuff stuff stop, stop, stop.
01:19:28
The Blade's Edge
Guys, stop. Hold on. This is serious.
01:19:30
Alma Graves
Time out! Time out! Time out!
01:19:32
Vesz'rak
Hold on, hold on.
01:19:32
Kyle
Guys, it's real bad.
01:19:33
Alma Graves
Get this man a Capri Sun and some orange slices.
01:19:35
The Blade's Edge
He will.
01:19:36
Vesz'rak
Hospital, hospital.
01:19:36
The Blade's Edge
you He'll still try to claw your legs with his second attack still at advantage because you attack recklessly. Natural 20.
01:19:46
The Blade's Edge
Balance and all things.
01:19:47
Kyle
Uhhh... It's fine. I'll tank it.
01:19:50
Kyle
I'm a tank after all.
01:19:51
The Blade's Edge
That's 13.
01:19:53
The Blade's Edge
Plus three is 16, but that you are raging. So that is halved to eight.
01:19:59
Alma Graves
That's a situation.
01:20:01
Trevor
That was hilarious.
01:20:02
Kyle
It's just seeing that many green numbers horrified me.
01:20:05
The Blade's Edge
Uh, you take eight points of slashing damage as the one in between a knobby and Alma is just going to make two claw attacks. The first is going to be at a knobby. The second is going to be at Alma. So a knobby it's a 10 that misses.
01:20:22
Alma Graves
Sure. That one doesn't attack me. That would be pretty cool.
01:20:24
The Blade's Edge
Alma. That's a two that misses.
01:20:27
Alma Graves
Damn right. That misses. Hell yeah.
01:20:28
The Blade's Edge
You both duck underneath these claws um syncopated. As design. The one to the left of you has you grappled and it's just going to make the bite attack.
01:20:45
Vesz'rak
21. Yeah, that'll do it.
01:20:47
The Blade's Edge
You take six points of piercing damage.
01:20:51
The Blade's Edge
and three points of necrotic for a total of nine.
01:20:52
Vesz'rak
All right. OK, we're still up.
01:20:55
The Blade's Edge
But your hit point maximum is reduced by three.
01:20:58
Vesz'rak
OK, three additional.
01:20:58
The Blade's Edge
What's your hip?
01:20:59
Vesz'rak
1, 2, 3, all right.
01:21:01
The Blade's Edge
What's your hit point maximum at right now?
01:21:04
The Blade's Edge
Okay, cool.
01:21:05
Vesz'rak
We started at 46. We're down to 32.
01:21:08
The Blade's Edge
The one to your right is going to make two claw attacks on you at advantage.
01:21:14
The Blade's Edge
Fourteens miss.
01:21:15
Vesz'rak
Missed, missy missed.
01:21:17
The Blade's Edge
24 is a hit.
01:21:18
Vesz'rak
That will definitely do it.
01:21:19
The Blade's Edge
And you take eight points of slashing damage.
01:21:21
Vesz'rak
Okay, I'm still up. Still up.
01:21:24
The Blade's Edge
Okay. That is all their turns in Nabi. There are four left.
01:21:30
Trevor
Um, do you guys got these two that are on us? If I go?
01:21:36
The Blade's Edge
Absolutely. We do. Henrik says with his board, I'm smacking these things left and right.
01:21:39
Vesz'rak
ah Just God, I would just say just kill Just kill whoever's the weakest just all focus on whoever's the weakest I think Coaches coaches, right?
01:21:48
The Blade's Edge
None of the rest of them are bloodied.
01:21:52
The Blade's Edge
But you've seen how quickly you guys can kill one if you all attack the same one.
01:21:55
Trevor
yep almond has ricotta shut up what is that from shut the fuck up
01:22:02
Vesz'rak
Guys go just right
01:22:04
The Blade's Edge
I had to do, I cannot have another TPK for the love of God.
01:22:09
Vesz'rak
Right, yes you can.
01:22:11
Alma Graves
Yeah, we can.
01:22:11
The Blade's Edge
I can i can and like and just not now, later.
01:22:15
Trevor
i want to uh oh nice are you from here
01:22:18
Kyle
Do what you think is best you would impose if you moved you would impose ah ah to Fucking what are they called?
01:22:28
Alma Graves
Opportunity attacks.
01:22:28
The Blade's Edge
opportunity.
01:22:29
Kyle
Opportunity attacks. Yeah.
01:22:31
Kyle
Yeah if you moved Wait a minute I'm not like the others
01:22:32
Alma Graves
You don't move like that. You aren't like that. You're built different though. He's built different bro.
01:22:35
Trevor
I'm not like that. I'm going to fucking misty step.
01:22:37
Alma Graves
He ain't about that life.
01:22:40
Alma Graves
That doesn't happen for any of Trevor's characters.
01:22:41
Trevor
Yeah, no, I don't. I don't take opportunity attacks.
01:22:46
Trevor
It's just built into how I play candy.
01:22:47
Alma Graves
trevor doesn't Trevor doesn't get hit.
01:22:49
Trevor
I don't, I don't do that.
01:22:50
Alma Graves
How many sessions did Trevor go in the Tuesday night campaign without getting hit? I don't know.
01:22:56
Trevor
um I'm gonna, yeah, blessing the Raven Queen, I'm gonna go right up to here with my bonus action.
01:23:03
Trevor
um And then I'm gonna swing at this vampire next to the window with the shadow blade.
01:23:14
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Still have advantage. The room is still dimly lit.
01:23:22
The Blade's Edge
18 hits.
01:23:30
Trevor
see be Such a little roll.
01:23:31
The Blade's Edge
All right. I kick damage as you stab the shadowed blade into its head. ah Is that your turn?
01:23:40
The Blade's Edge
All right. Bash you're up the last person to go before the final round.
01:23:47
Kyle
We have wrong one round to kill four vampires.
01:23:49
The Blade's Edge
Well, you, you, you have two turns. You have this round. You have this turn right now for you bash and one more.
01:23:56
Kyle
So Alma, I think you could get to right here without imposing any opportunity attacks. Am I correct in that assessment?
01:24:07
Alma Graves
Oh, I so good. I so good.
01:24:09
Kyle
Just do like a little pivot.
01:24:11
Kyle
um Because I'm gonna go for this one. And i I feel like I have no choice. I just have to do all of this recklessly.
01:24:21
The Blade's Edge
You're doing it recklessly.
01:24:22
The Blade's Edge
You also feel your ancestors blood pumping within you. And you know that you can make a third attack as a bonus action.
01:24:35
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Aren't you a frenzied barbarian?
01:24:38
Kyle
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, with Frenzy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:24:39
The Blade's Edge
You can every turn while you're aging, you can make an attack as a bonus action. Just when your rage is over, you will gain a level of exhaustion.
01:24:49
Kyle
For each time I do a Frenzy attack, right?
01:24:53
The Blade's Edge
Um, good question, but don't think it since level three has not used yet.
01:24:55
Trevor
Whoa, that'd be hilarious.
01:24:56
Alma Graves
Is that a level six feature or have you been able to do that for awhile?
01:25:00
Kyle
I've been able to do it for a while, but the exhaustion
01:25:05
The Blade's Edge
The exhaustion is scary, but it's only exhaustion level six that kills you. So for frenzied, let's go ahead and look at together for berserk. You can go into a frenzy when you rage. So you choose it when you rage. So we can say you did choose if you'd like, if you do so for the duration of your rage, you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns. After this one, when your rage ends, you suffer one level of exhaustion.
01:25:31
The Blade's Edge
So it's not per attack.
01:25:32
The Blade's Edge
It's just that when you rage, you can determine if that rage is a frenzied rage.
01:25:36
The Blade's Edge
And then for that rage, you can make an extra attack. You just will have a level of exhaustion when it's done.
01:25:42
Kyle
So this is a classic like Kyle playing D and&D thing where I just misunderstand something and assume that that's correct. And then I find out that's not the case. And it's something that could have wildly changed the outcome of a campaign.
01:25:57
The Blade's Edge
That's OK. That's why I'm here.
01:26:00
The Blade's Edge
Feel free to ask me questions.
01:26:03
Kyle
Yeah, I just I for some reason I just put it out of my mind. and I'm sure anyone listening is probably losing their minds listening to me play this goddamn game.
01:26:11
Alma Graves
I'd say they're so proud of you, bro. You're such a strong soldier.
01:26:14
Kyle
All right. Yeah. Can we say that this was a frenzied rage?
01:26:18
The Blade's Edge
Absolutely.
01:26:20
The Blade's Edge
The spirit of your ancestors pumping through your, your body and you can make three attacks on this guy. And if you make them recklessly, all will be at advantage.
01:26:28
Kyle
All of them will be reckless. I'm going to be, I'm going to be a hooligan.
01:26:34
Kyle
I'm going to be 19 or 26.
01:26:35
The Blade's Edge
That's gonna hit, but let's see if you crit.
01:26:36
Vesz'rak
ah sir Yes, sir.
01:26:38
The Blade's Edge
So your first attack hits.
01:26:40
The Blade's Edge
Easy peasy.
01:26:42
Kyle
before 15 damage an attack 14 or 18 or whoa that was a crazy rule ah for 10 damage and then bonus action third attack for a natural 20
01:26:44
The Blade's Edge
Okay. He's bloodied.
01:26:50
The Blade's Edge
We'll miss.
01:26:52
The Blade's Edge
We'll hit.
01:27:03
The Blade's Edge
Yes, sir.
01:27:07
Vesz'rak
Oh, there There he is.
01:27:09
The Blade's Edge
That's why we do it.
01:27:09
Alma Graves
He's like, it's been years since I did this third attack.
01:27:10
The Blade's Edge
That's why we do it.
01:27:11
Vesz'rak
Blood of the ancestors.
01:27:13
The Blade's Edge
I think you also you have some you have some fun things. First of all, as a barbarian, I don't know if that kicked in yet for you.
01:27:25
Alma Graves
Can we also talk about what a 30 on the, on the score would look like as a Marshall character?
01:27:30
Alma Graves
I mean, a 30.
01:27:33
Kyle
um Wait, what are we talking about for the barbarian?
01:27:36
The Blade's Edge
so Yeah. So barbarians eventually get something where you can enroll even another diets called a brutal critical.
01:27:45
Alma Graves
Brutal critical. Yeah.
01:27:45
The Blade's Edge
I don't know if you have that yet.
01:27:47
Alma Graves
I think it's level nine that you get brutal critical.
01:27:47
Kyle
Well, I have savage attack. When I score a crit, I can roll one of the weapons dice in additional time and add it to the extra damage.
01:27:54
The Blade's Edge
So that is your, that's for being a half work. Um, yeah. So, um, you are half works.
01:28:01
Kyle
So this is going to be 3d12 plus nine.
01:28:05
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. So three D 12.
01:28:08
Kyle
So I'm going to, can I roll it?
01:28:08
The Blade's Edge
I think if you hit, if you click it, it might, it might do it all.
01:28:11
Alma Graves
It'll do it. Yeah.
01:28:13
The Blade's Edge
Including the savage. Let's see.
01:28:15
Alma Graves
Come on, baby.
01:28:16
The Blade's Edge
You're an absolute savage.
01:28:17
Kyle
Wait for for my damage?
01:28:18
The Blade's Edge
I just click the boxes.
01:28:18
Kyle
Just roll my damage?
01:28:19
Alma Graves
Yeah, you just, just click the box.
01:28:21
The Blade's Edge
It should, it should do it for you.
01:28:23
Alma Graves
You've done 21 so far.
01:28:25
Kyle
I don't think it did.
01:28:25
The Blade's Edge
It didn't, it did not do it for you. So you, you'll add two D 12 to that. And then we'll add two to that.
01:28:36
The Blade's Edge
17 plus 15
01:28:41
The Blade's Edge
is 32 points of damage. This guy had 21 health. How do you kill this guy?
01:28:49
Kyle
So I'm standing above him, right? I kind of just like I like tee up as if his head is like a golf ball. Like tee up my axe. um But instead of swinging sideways, I'm going to raise it above my head and slam my axe down and cleave him in cleave him in half from the top down.
01:29:17
The Blade's Edge
From the top down, you cleave him in half. He falls apart to opposite sides like a flower petal opening hits the ground. Any movement.
01:29:31
Kyle
um Not at the moment, no.
01:29:33
The Blade's Edge
OK, this is the last round. I'm going to just going to say this here. ah Henrik van der Vort, the um ah Coffin maker is instead of taking an ah attack this this round.
01:29:46
The Blade's Edge
We're gonna do a little wibbly-wobbly here He's gonna he's giving everybody the help action So his presence in being this room he is championing you guys he is giving you guys the help action there are three vampire spawns that need to be dead before ah Before this round is over Desan you're up first
01:30:04
Vesz'rak
This round is over.
01:30:09
Vesz'rak
All right, swing it on the one by the window.
01:30:12
The Blade's Edge
Okay. You have the help actions. Those first attack is an advantage.
01:30:16
Vesz'rak
Okay, I'm gonna roll once and see if I need to use the help action.
01:30:21
Vesz'rak
That'll be a 25 to hit.
01:30:23
The Blade's Edge
Um, yeah, sure. I'll let, I'll let you decide which attack you use it on.
01:30:27
The Blade's Edge
If you'd like to save it.
01:30:28
Vesz'rak
Okay. No, I mean, we could, here, I'll roll. I don't want to get, okay.
01:30:30
The Blade's Edge
No, it's okay. I don't care. It's already, I'm already sorry. It's not a thing that I'm humbling.
01:30:35
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. So that's fine.
01:30:36
Alma Graves
We're getting wibbly Holy crap
01:30:37
Vesz'rak
16 radiant damage on this guy. Is he still up?
01:30:40
The Blade's Edge
He's bloodied.
01:30:42
Vesz'rak
Jesus. Fuck. We're smiting.
01:30:47
Vesz'rak
Actually, I'm going to hold the smite. I'm going to see if I'm at 20 on this one.
01:30:49
The Blade's Edge
That's smart. That's what I was thinking.
01:30:50
Vesz'rak
Second attack. I'm learning coach. Coach was right.
01:30:55
The Blade's Edge
Please. I had to tank this whole module as a fucking rogue, dude. I had to be, I had to be on the top of my game.
01:31:00
Vesz'rak

01:31:21
The Blade's Edge

01:31:27
Vesz'rak
We go. I have no more after this I

Vesz'rak
That's five more radiant damage and a D8 coming your way.
01:31:36
Vesz'rak
Eight, oh eight.
01:31:38
The Blade's Edge
For 13, I have it written down on my sheet here circled before you started your turn.
01:31:44
The Blade's Edge
He had 47 HP 18 plus
01:31:47
Alma Graves
How much did he do?
Victory and Rewards
01:31:48
The Blade's Edge
16 is 30 18 plus 16 is 34 34 plus 13 is 47.
01:31:59
Alma Graves
That's video games, baby.
01:31:59
The Blade's Edge
How do you kill this guy?
01:32:01
Vesz'rak
So I'm going to ah run him through with the Sun Sword, Brian.
01:32:07
The Blade's Edge
Throwing them out that window.
01:32:07
Vesz'rak
And then as I... and e Let me narrate it, Brian. Let me narrate it.
01:32:11
Vesz'rak
Let me narrate it. He's standing suspiciously close to the already broken window.
01:32:17
Vesz'rak
um Run him through with the Sun Sword on the first attack. And on on on the second attack of Brian, um after I finish it, I'm going to kick him and the divine smite through the heel of my boot, I'm going to divine smite kick him out of the window.
01:32:30
The Blade's Edge
All right, you divine smite, take him out of the window.
01:32:33
The Blade's Edge
As you do the divine smite working its way through his body, dissolving its as he hits the ground and turns to dust and ash.
01:32:40
Vesz'rak
I'm still, I'm still, I'm still grappled though. but ah Still grappled though.
01:32:46
The Blade's Edge
You are so grappled. Is that your turn?
01:32:48
Vesz'rak
That's all I got.
01:32:49
The Blade's Edge
All right, Henrik gave you guys the help action. So Alma, you're up. There are two left.
01:32:55
The Blade's Edge
But they both look they both look neither of them are bloodied.
01:32:55
Alma Graves
So I see this one.
01:32:58
The Blade's Edge
But granted, neither was that one before it's turned third.
01:33:00
Alma Graves
I see this one bitch on me and I don't like that. Um, but I don't really have a way to get away from her. So I am going to cast, um,
01:33:12
Alma Graves
uh, uh, uh, uh, I do have help help.
01:33:14
Kyle
You also have help, so if you attack with like a spell, it'll just be in the whole world.
01:33:18
Alma Graves
What does, what does help give us Brian again?
01:33:20
The Blade's Edge
Help action gives you advantage on your next role.
01:33:23
Alma Graves
Okay. Well, then I am just going to, I have disadvantage attacking this chick on me, but I'm going to channel the light of Lathander and with a third level guiding bolt, I'm sending it right next to dis on.
01:33:44
The Blade's Edge
All right, the one that is grappling to sign and you do have the help action. So you have advantage on this role to hit this creature.
01:33:50
Alma Graves
Okay. So we are rolling with advantage.
01:33:56
Alma Graves
And, and it's going to be 28 for six D six, radiant damage.
01:33:59
The Blade's Edge
Oh, yeah, that hits 28 guiding bolts. The light of La Fender lighting up this van.
01:34:10
The Blade's Edge
Sixty six.
01:34:11
Vesz'rak
Quick prayer, quick prayer up to the morning Lord.
01:34:15
Alma Graves
And you have advantage to strike that target.
01:34:18
The Blade's Edge
All right, this guy takes 21 radiant damage.
01:34:21
The Blade's Edge
You guys have advantage to hit it. It is still not bloody. This one, nobody had attacked until now.
01:34:25
Alma Graves
Also, i did I did look it up, Brian, and Radiant Soul is also in the 2014, so it does factor in.
01:34:33
The Blade's Edge
OK, so you take do 26, not 21.
01:34:35
Alma Graves
Yes, 26, yeah. And that that would mean that the other five from earlier, too, but we played it as it lied.
01:34:40
The Blade's Edge
Cool. No, I kept it on that guy.
01:34:40
Alma Graves
I looked it up.
01:34:41
The Blade's Edge
If you saw, I also left a little dot on him, so he didn't he didn't regenerate.
01:34:45
Alma Graves
Ooh, smart. Hell yeah.
01:34:47
Alma Graves
Cool. Yeah, so that is going to be my turn, and then I'd look right at Bash. um leading him to help me with this one that's on me because I know she's about to chomp me down.
01:35:00
Alma Graves
That's my turn.
01:35:01
The Blade's Edge
Here we go. It's getting down to the wire to song you're grappled.
01:35:07
The Blade's Edge
So it's just going to make the one bite attack at advantage and miss with a 14, but Alma, the one on you is going to make two claw tax, no bites, two claws.
01:35:24
The Blade's Edge
That's a 22 and a 21.
01:35:25
Alma Graves
That hits and that hits.
01:35:28
The Blade's Edge
Each one does eight points of slashing for a total of 16.
01:35:34
The Blade's Edge
Slice, slice. um That is their turns.
01:35:39
Alma Graves
I have a resistance to ugly damage though. um
01:35:42
The Blade's Edge
It is, it is up to Anabi and Bash.
01:35:48
The Blade's Edge
Neither are bloodied.
01:35:50
Vesz'rak
It's passion time.
01:35:53
The Blade's Edge
Well, they're, they're pretty far away and Nabi Europe. First, this one or your first attack will have advantage because of guiding, uh, guiding bolt. And your second attack will have advantage because of the help action.
01:36:05
Trevor
Okay, nice. and then I'm gonna go five, 10, 15, 20 on top of this crate.
01:36:13
Trevor
ah I'm gonna cast Scorching Ray at third level.
01:36:23
The Blade's Edge
Ooh, the law are we we.
01:36:25
Trevor
And the first two, because they're at advantage, it'll give me four beams. I'm starting the first two at this thing and may move them or i keep them on that.
01:36:38
Trevor
i need to Okay, so.
01:36:39
The Blade's Edge
Let's put those roles.
01:36:42
Trevor
First one at advantage, 24, four or six fire, 22,
01:36:50
The Blade's Edge
He is now bloodied.
01:37:00
Trevor
Okay, and then here's the last two, 17 and 25.
01:37:04
The Blade's Edge
its Hits.
01:37:09
Trevor
four, seven, and nine, 16.
01:37:12
The Blade's Edge
For 16 points of damage. You've got one at the top of the room on Death's Door.
01:37:19
Vesz'rak
Mash them, mash them.
01:37:23
The Blade's Edge
And you've got one in front of Alma. Not even bloodied. And now be any bonus actions.
01:37:32
Trevor
ah No, hi I don't have any bonus actions.
01:37:35
The Blade's Edge
OK. Doing a ton of damage to this thing, leaving it on death door, but it wasn't even bloodied before the start of the turn. Bash.
01:37:49
Kyle
realistically, I've the only thing that I think I could do is like unless I match when he the first and no, I think this one next to me for sure at minimum is going to need two attacks to kill.
01:38:05
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, I think you guys have until their turn on the next round. So that means that Desan and Alma will get to go one more time.
01:38:14
Kyle
I thought it was straight up just up to me to fucking somehow pull damage out of my ass.
01:38:19
The Blade's Edge
I think I was thinking that, but that realistically, it'll be on their turn. If they're not dead by their turn on the sixth round.
01:38:24
Alma Graves
Well, while I might've been pleading with you for help, I also understand the battle strategy.
01:38:31
Alma Graves
So if you gotta go, you gotta to go, my man.
01:38:35
Vesz'rak
It's clobber. It's Bastion time.
01:38:37
Alma Graves
I think it might be Bastion time, brah.
01:38:41
Kyle
I'm gonna, I'm gonna bash. Yeah, I'm gonna attack this one. And again, reckless.
01:38:48
The Blade's Edge
I see you hopped down and now you're down below swiping recklessly at its knees.
01:38:58
Kyle
Lathander. It's a 25 to hit.
01:39:02
Alma Graves
Mmm, live, laugh, love, Lathander, yeah.
01:39:02
The Blade's Edge
Twenty five.
01:39:02
Vesz'rak
We even got our green boy at home, Ryan.
01:39:05
Vesz'rak
We got everyone on the Lothander train.
01:39:05
The Blade's Edge
Twenty five hits.
01:39:09
Kyle
and Be for 18 damage.
01:39:12
Trevor
This is a good roll.
01:39:15
The Blade's Edge
Still not bloodied.
01:39:17
The Blade's Edge
My two will hit or that hits.
01:39:21
Kyle
22... 26... Or 14 damage.
01:39:27
The Blade's Edge
He is now bloodied. The barbarian is barbarian barbarianing.
01:39:30
Kyle
Just gimme- just gimme the natty, dawg.
01:39:33
Alma Graves
He's doing it.
01:39:33
Kyle
Just give me the natty.
01:39:35
Trevor
The blood of your ancestors?
01:39:48
The Blade's Edge
Last attack, natural, natural 20.
01:39:52
Alma Graves
all the lightening.
01:39:53
Kyle
Okay. So here I'm, I'm not going to roll the first down here. I'm just going to roll 3d 12. It'd be 3d 12 plus nine.
01:39:59
The Blade's Edge
Okay. I love it.
01:40:03
The Blade's Edge
You need pretty high roll here. You want me to tell you what you need to get?
01:40:07
The Blade's Edge
Okay. This is going to, this might, this might hurt you a little bit.
01:40:11
The Blade's Edge
It's 35 health.
01:40:13
Alma Graves
Oh, it could be.
01:40:14
The Blade's Edge
Which means on 3D12, if you're adding plus 9, you need to be worth 26 on 3D12.
01:40:21
Alma Graves
We're looking at about 66.66% chance repeating, of course.
01:40:25
Kyle
Repeating, of course.
01:40:29
Trevor
Call the lightning.
01:40:30
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, OK.
01:40:33
Alma Graves
Oh, 10 damage for being cute.
01:40:36
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, I did forget to tell you you get the, yeah, you got 10 T damage.
01:40:37
Trevor
Oh fuck 10 Q damage.
01:40:42
Alma Graves
It's a new feature that I added for the home game.
01:40:44
The Blade's Edge
So you swipe at this thing as your turn ends and the last round starts. Well, we're going to go fully above the board here. Desan, you're grappled.
01:40:57
The Blade's Edge
You're going to, you're going to get a go. Alma, you're not grappled. You're going to get a go. Desan, the one on you has eight health. Alma, the one on you has nine health.
01:41:08
The Blade's Edge
The Desan is just Desan, you're up first.
01:41:18
The Blade's Edge
Two misses will seal the the deal here.
01:41:23
Alma Graves
That's exactly what Tommy wants.
01:41:24
Vesz'rak
why didn Why would you say that hey Brian Call the lightning worse both ways.
01:41:24
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, two misses. You missed twice, that'll seal the deal here.
01:41:29
Alma Graves
Whose deals being sealed?
01:41:33
Vesz'rak
Okay, it's the good and the bad Okay
01:41:34
Alma Graves
I was going to say poor Tommy.
01:41:36
The Blade's Edge
You guys hear the the sound of thunder outside through the window.
01:41:40
The Blade's Edge
You see the far off mountains where you know the mad mage lies and you see the lightning.
01:41:53
Kyle
Dude, you've been hitting so well.
01:41:55
Alma Graves
You got this bro.
01:41:55
Kyle
like just it's Just do it again. Just do what you've you do all the time.
01:41:56
Vesz'rak
I'm believing in myself, Brian.
01:41:59
Alma Graves
Can you do me a favor and just do it bro? I believe in you.
01:42:01
Vesz'rak
I'm going to. Channel divinity.
01:42:06
The Blade's Edge
Oh, interesting. I don't even know if I, what, put what palette and subclass are you?
01:42:11
Vesz'rak
ah Oath of vengeance, and ah and I can choose a creature within 10 feet of me and I gain advantage on attack rolls for one minute.
01:42:20
The Blade's Edge
That's right. I love how you guys are using massive features that could really, really have helped you out on the first round in the last round.
01:42:26
Vesz'rak
No, no, no, Brian, I was waiting. I was waiting for this moment.
01:42:30
The Blade's Edge
Yes. Yeah. It gives you advantage for a minute.
01:42:32
The Blade's Edge
It gives you advantage for a whole minute.
01:42:32
Alma Graves
So you can roll too. So you can roll two Nat ones.
01:42:36
The Blade's Edge
Well, in four nat ones, because you'll have advantage as you.
01:42:38
Alma Graves
Oh fuck. Yeah.
01:42:39
Kyle
Dude, we're on the same team.
01:42:39
Alma Graves
Four Nat ones.
01:42:40
The Blade's Edge
If you roll, if you roll four nat ones. Uh, the lightning will be called and it'll strike to sawn in the forehead, killing him instantly.
01:42:40
Kyle
Why would you say that?
01:42:51
Vesz'rak
ah I'll be, I'll be back. I'll be back.
01:42:54
Alma Graves
I'll be back.
01:42:55
The Blade's Edge
You're all four net ones. Everybody in Barovia dies. Every single person.
01:43:01
Alma Graves
And I drive over to your apartment and I smack you in the face.
01:43:02
Vesz'rak

Kyle
Wait, let me see what the chances of that are.
01:43:07
The Blade's Edge
You want to roll it? You want to roll it one at a time?
01:43:10
Kyle
It's- it's winding 160,000.
01:43:14
The Blade's Edge
Okay, natural one. Okay, natural one. But you don't miss.
01:43:27
The Blade's Edge
At advantage.
01:43:31
The Blade's Edge
Okay, you hit this thing and your app, you're definitely going to kill it.
01:43:33
The Blade's Edge
Go ahead and roll damage and then explain to us how on your first attack you kill this vampire spawn.
01:43:39
Vesz'rak
Okay. 14 not even looking no look eyes closed.
01:43:44
Vesz'rak
I cover my eyes with my left with my shield at hand and I swipe at it. And then I got 30 feet of movement.
01:43:49
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. Okay.
01:43:54
Vesz'rak
It's just going to do it.
01:43:57
Vesz'rak
You see me running. I jump over bash bash duck.
01:44:00
The Blade's Edge
All right.
01:44:03
The Blade's Edge
All right. Okay. I need you to make me an athletics check for that.
01:44:03
Vesz'rak
I do the snake one Barkley and I do the 180 jump over backwards.
01:44:13
Vesz'rak
At 15, I do the Saquon Barkley, where my back, I go over him backwards.
01:44:14
The Blade's Edge
Okay. Okay. Yeah. You jump over him.
01:44:21
Vesz'rak
And midair, slicing at this vampire spawn.
01:44:27
The Blade's Edge
Nice. This one you don't have advantage on. It's just a straight roll.
01:44:30
Vesz'rak
Straight roll. And Brian, conveniently, right next to a window. I'm swinging.
01:44:38
The Blade's Edge
Yeah. That window is locked.
01:44:39
The Blade's Edge
But roll me a natural 20. Okay.
01:44:43
Vesz'rak
Hey, for those of you listening at home, nat one, just like I never left, baby.
01:44:48
The Blade's Edge
Okay, you can jump over him looking like Saquon Barkley and with a nat one you slice Henrik's head off.
01:44:57
The Blade's Edge
No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm not going to make you kill the old man. um but if you yeah You jumped backwards.
01:45:01
Alma Graves
You go flying out the window.
01:45:03
The Blade's Edge
So when you were looking at it, you're like, I have to swing to my left, but then you turned around backwards. So when you jumped over backwards, you swung to your left, which was at Henrik.
01:45:13
Vesz'rak
As I, as like right before, like right before I ah jump over bash, I go, watch this. i like what did fit that i miss
01:45:22
The Blade's Edge
ah you Yeah, you don't kill Henrik, but you do accidentally swipe in his direction, taking off some of his hair up top and the board he was holding in his hands. And he goes, what the fuck? um
01:45:33
The Blade's Edge
I'm putting the last. The hopes and dreams of getting out of this scot free in the hands of Alma Graves. One vampire in front of you.
01:45:44
Alma Graves
Classic eight health, nine health.
01:45:47
The Blade's Edge
Nine health on this guy.
01:45:50
Kyle
Brian real quick before this turn.
01:45:50
The Blade's Edge
Yes, bachelor.
01:45:54
Kyle
So I killed that one, I cleaved it in half. I forgot that my axe has a feature where if I reduce an enemy to zero, I gain 2d6 temporary hit points.
01:46:02
The Blade's Edge
That's right.
01:46:02
Kyle
Is it okay for me to roll that?
01:46:03
The Blade's Edge
Yeah, go for it.
01:46:09
The Blade's Edge
You gain seven Alma.
01:46:12
Alma Graves
So I feel like I've gotten hit enough times to realize that like, it seems like with our claws, these guys are doing a standard eight damage every time they hit me. Something like that.
01:46:24
The Blade's Edge
Maybe you don't know.
01:46:24
Alma Graves
Okay. I'm pretty sure I've taken eight every single time. So I am going to take the gamble here to get the better play. And from on top of this crate where I've been, You see me charging up like a, like a, um, a larger Eldritch blast in my hands and I leap off here.
01:46:43
Alma Graves
got me And I impose an opportunity a attack.
01:46:48
The Blade's Edge
Fifteen.
01:46:53
The Blade's Edge
Do do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Nine.
01:46:57
Alma Graves
Okay. So I take nine damage.
01:46:58
The Blade's Edge
Take nine points of slash damage. Those have been those have been GM rolled to me. The eights are just the must be the mead median of two d four plus three.
01:47:08
Alma Graves
Okay, so I'm down to three health.
01:47:12
Alma Graves
And as I do, my Kamehameha has been blasting midair. First one coming out is going to be 19. We're just going to throw out that damage for nine force damage.
01:47:26
Alma Graves
Alma Graves doesn't fuck around.
01:47:27
Vesz'rak
Blast her out the window!
01:47:28
Vesz'rak
Blast her out the window!
01:47:29
The Blade's Edge
The exact damage of the health of this thing, um as you do ah the light of La Fander, you see a golden hand caressing this Eldritch Blast all the way.
01:47:43
The Blade's Edge
And as the blast hit it, the hand moves behind this vampire spawn and unlocks the window and opens it.
01:47:56
Trevor
Please tell me to repel the glass.
01:47:57
Alma Graves
and Everyone, we've got to run. What's coming? I don't know. Or no, they would alert them after 30 seconds.
01:48:03
Alma Graves
Oh, okay. I thought we had 30 seconds to get away.
01:48:06
The Blade's Edge
As combat ends, he's dead vampires. Henrik says, ah, I tried to warn you but before you came in the room.
01:48:18
The Blade's Edge
They had set a trap. I, uh, apologies. I couldn't warn you earlier. I, they would have killed me. The name's Henrik.
01:48:28
The Blade's Edge
Uh, Henrik van der Vort.
01:48:28
Alma Graves
Henrik, I'm Alma.
01:48:32
The Blade's Edge
Nice to meet you.
01:48:32
Alma Graves
why Why are our names on coffins downstairs?
01:48:36
The Blade's Edge
He goes, ah ah the one that they would have summoned, the Count, he who you'd be he knew you'd be here at some point. He came by earlier today.
01:48:51
Alma Graves
Oh my goodness. And he left all these fucking chicks here? Golly. He just left them to die.
01:48:55
The Blade's Edge
He goes, well, they they had actually been here for quite some time, but it wasn't until We received the bones of St. Andrew that they were preparing for an attack tonight. All six of them.
01:49:10
Alma Graves
Oh shit, that would have been pretty brutal on the church. Where are the bones?
01:49:15
The Blade's Edge
Ah, yes. Um, I let Nico get the bones. I also, he looks at you in audiences. Also I, you remind me of, uh, somebody, somebody from my youth and I have something for you as well. I'll, I'll i'll be right back.
01:49:34
The Blade's Edge
so or or follow me whatever you want it's just way
01:49:38
Alma Graves
I'll come with you.
01:49:41
Vesz'rak
ah Before you go on I'm gonna pump you full of some healing really quiet really quick.
01:49:46
Vesz'rak
I Got here later. You're gonna get I'll give you I'll give you 20 HP And I'll give my I'll give myself 10
01:49:52
Alma Graves
Cool. I love that. and got Almost back to 23 health.
01:49:56
The Blade's Edge
So, or, or follow me, whatever you want. he heads into his bedroom chamber, ah why don't you guys you guys could have all followed him in there.
01:50:09
The Blade's Edge
It's on this on this floor.
01:50:12
Vesz'rak
Okay, I'll follow.
01:50:13
The Blade's Edge
ah Yeah, as you guys follow him in there, um you see that this modest bedchamber holds a cot and several well made pieces of furniture, including a table, a padded chair, a bookshelf and a wardrobe.
Exploration and Ominous Discoveries
01:50:25
The Blade's Edge
He goes to the wardrobe. opens it and pops a secret compartment in its base. And he there are two large sacks in here and he takes out one of them and hands them ah hands it to you guys. And you can hear ah the bag. It sounds like there are bones in it. He says, These are the bones of St. Andrew. I I was approached many moons ago by a man named Vasily von Holtz.
01:51:00
Alma Graves
That's silly.
01:51:02
The Blade's Edge
Yes. Uh, he told me that my business would prosper if I took in some friends of his would help me.
01:51:13
The Blade's Edge
Uh, it wasn't until I met them, he mentioned motions out to the vampire spawns. He goes, it wasn't until I met them that I realized they were vampires.
01:51:24
The Blade's Edge
And that this fun Vasily von Holtz was in fact, Strahd himself in disguise.
01:51:31
The Blade's Edge
He says, they they orchestrated the gathering of the bones, they had me pay those children to get them. um But here you go, you may bring them back. But additionally, I have something else here.
01:51:53
The Blade's Edge
um He reaches into the back ah this time, the back of the um closet and clicks open a second compartment.
01:52:07
The Blade's Edge
And in this, he goes, I i built, i I can build whatever you want. If you ever want a a wardrobe with two secret compartments, I'm kind of the guy.
01:52:07
Trevor
Who was this closet dude?
01:52:17
Trevor
get i Kind of the guy.
01:52:19
The Blade's Edge
um In the back of this compartment, it looks as if there are two
01:52:27
The Blade's Edge
It looks as if there are two like most like samurai looking swords, but they're much longer. um And he takes them out and and Nabi brings them over to you and hands them to you and says, these are.
01:52:43
The Blade's Edge
These were a friend of mine's a long time ago.
01:52:47
The Blade's Edge
Somebody else who came to this land hoping to help us and who perished. But I he called them. the dope Noticize, is that what he's, how you say it?
01:53:02
Trevor
I think so, or no dachis, I think?
01:53:03
The Blade's Edge
Okay. The Dachis, yeah.
01:53:04
The Blade's Edge
Noticize, whatever. But he hands them to you.
01:53:07
Trevor
I like notakai though, that sounds fucking tight, yeah.
01:53:09
The Blade's Edge
No to Kai. He hands you these. um These as he hands them to you for those of you keeping track at home are a homebrew item that are. um Plus one bonus te and damage rolls that they deal slashing, even though they'll say piercing once per turn, you may try to as you as you look at these over, you see that they're made of a very a peculiar type of metal, some ah metal from a different land brought to Barovia by a wandering traveler.
01:53:39
The Blade's Edge
Once per turn, you can try to extend your reach to 10 feet with this thin long blade. ah Upon rolling a natural one, you dent and damage this delicate rare material, and the damage dice of the blade goes down a level permanently.
01:53:54
The Blade's Edge
So the blade is starts at a D8, but if you try to do this and you roll an out one, it'll go from a D8 to a D6, and then you can continue.
01:54:01
The Blade's Edge
It can go from a D6 to a D4. If it goes from a D4 down, it is destroyed permanently.
01:54:09
The Blade's Edge
If you roll a natural 20 while using this feature, the damage dice you double is not a D8, but a D10.
01:54:19
The Blade's Edge
If the blade is not destroyed, like if it's not from a D4 to a, to destroyed and you fix it, you can spend downtime attempting to fix this blade, but the time required to fix this blade is two hours and 50 gold worth of materials per damage dice.
01:54:38
The Blade's Edge
So a D4 to a D6 would be two hours and 50 gold. A D4 to a D8 would be four hours and 100 gold to get it all the way back up.
01:54:47
The Blade's Edge
And he hands you those and looks at all of you and says, I appreciate the help. I'm sorry that it came to Fisticuffs, especially in my home, but hopefully I can get back to giving the people of this land what they Expect from me, which is just, you know, quality coffins for their loved ones to send them off in proper way.
01:55:14
Alma Graves
Yeah. You know, a couple of people almost died at the church because of what you did.
01:55:19
The Blade's Edge
He goes, well, I didn't really have a say in it, but I feel bad enough as it is.
01:55:25
Alma Graves
I understand. I'll give him a pass this time.
01:55:34
Alma Graves
Um, and then he has the bones as well.
01:55:36
The Blade's Edge
here He already gave him to you guys.
01:55:38
The Blade's Edge
He handed over the bones.
01:55:38
Alma Graves
google Cool. Oh, is it was in one of the, one of the pouches.
01:55:40
The Blade's Edge
He just handed you one bag and there were two bags in there, but he took out one handed to you which is with the bones and then he took out those swords and handed them to a knobby.
01:55:48
Alma Graves
Excellent. I'll carry the bones.
01:55:49
The Blade's Edge
Well. um
01:55:51
Alma Graves
I hate the bones.
01:55:54
The Blade's Edge
OK, and. What do you guys do from here?
01:56:01
Alma Graves
I think we head straight to St. Andrew's.
01:56:06
The Blade's Edge
As you go in Na'Vi on the way, maybe you're checking out these um these swords.
01:56:16
Trevor
yeah I'll be swinging them around.
01:56:17
The Blade's Edge
You're swinging them around and they feel they feel good. They also feel um they feel weirdly familiar to you.
01:56:31
The Blade's Edge
um And above and beyond that, you notice on the hilts of these things, there is a very familiar image of a skull with a snake eating its own tail wrapped around.
01:56:57
Vesz'rak
Hey, Bri, before we leave, uh, the coffee maker, can I, can I break my own casket, like into pieces before we leave?
01:57:05
Vesz'rak
I'm gonna just, yeah, I'm gonna smash mine.
01:57:05
The Blade's Edge
um So as you do, Bash had ah had looked into his um as you head downstairs and you smash yours into pieces to sawn.
01:57:05
Alma Graves
Break mine too.
01:57:18
The Blade's Edge
You smash it and you smash it and you see that inside there's a book.
01:57:26
Vesz'rak
i'll ah I'll break it up and I'll kind of like, I don't know if I could set fire to it a little bit with the Sun Sword, but I would drag the coffin outside and try to set it on fire and I'll take the book with me.
01:57:36
The Blade's Edge
OK, you take the book with you and then you set the coffin on fire. And as you do, you're staring at the coffin burning and you see sitting in the coffin and open to a specific page on fire is the book. You check your pockets, you check your bag, you could have sworn you picked it up. But now you see it in the fire open to a very specific page.
01:58:04
Vesz'rak
OK, what page is it open to?
01:58:07
The Blade's Edge
Um, it's open to, it's open to a spell that make me an arcana check.
01:58:12
Alma Graves
Our word, kiss.
01:58:20
Vesz'rak
OK, Arcana. Plus 0, here we go. 5.
01:58:28
The Blade's Edge
But, um, you don't, you don't know what the spell is. You don't know what it does.
01:58:35
The Blade's Edge
So I'm not even going to tell you what it is because you need to make me a wisdom saving throw.
01:58:40
Vesz'rak
Shit, I walked into the fire.
01:58:42
Vesz'rak
Wisdom save. Wizzy?
01:58:46
The Blade's Edge
Ha ha ha. Second time you've liked that on those visits.
01:58:50
The Blade's Edge
You all watched a son go up and try to read this thing. And he gets a little too close to the fire that he's he made and he takes another step and he takes another step and his boot steps into the fire as if he's about to enter immolating himself.
01:59:05
The Blade's Edge
And then you see him sort of shake his head and back up.
01:59:07
Alma Graves
Oh, get back. Get out of there.
01:59:12
Vesz'rak
I kind of like shake it out. What? Anyway, ah I like stamp out the fire like on like my cape or something like that. And I go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:59:23
Alma Graves
Let my people go.
01:59:25
Vesz'rak
ah Let's go to San Angeles.
01:59:27
The Blade's Edge
And you're you're destroying ah Alma's as well, right? Or Alma, are you destroying yours?
01:59:34
Alma Graves
I'm too weak, but I would probably try to act like I'm helping. Can you help me destroy this thing?
01:59:40
Vesz'rak
Yeah, I'll toss it into the fire. Toss it into the fire!
01:59:43
The Blade's Edge
As you do, the coffin opens Alma and inside the coffin, much like a Russian russian nesting doll, is a smaller coffin.
01:59:53
Alma Graves
Oh, I opened that coffin.
01:59:55
The Blade's Edge
You open that coffin and inside that coffin there's an even smaller coffin.
01:59:59
Alma Graves
um Hey, Bash, can you punch this thing open for me? Just punch right through all the layers, okay? Really quick for me. Just get straight to the middle.
02:00:04
Kyle
Yeah, I go up to it and I just push my fists into the into the gaskets as far as I can.
02:00:13
The Blade's Edge
You fist the caskets and you ah on the very last one inside the rushing nesting doll as you pull it out, Alma, this is an exact replica of the exact type of coffin your father used to make.
02:00:32
Alma Graves
Ooh, there's a tiny little keychain coffin.
02:00:36
Alma Graves
All right, I open up the little coffin.
02:00:39
The Blade's Edge
ah That one is that one is empty. You could put something there.
02:00:42
Alma Graves
Oh, okay. um I'll just, ah I'm just gonna spit into it and close it.
02:00:51
The Blade's Edge
And Inabi, were you going to look in yours or no?
02:00:57
The Blade's Edge
Inabi, as you look into yours, you open it. And I need you to roll me a d6.
02:01:15
The Blade's Edge
You open it. And the same symbol. That's. You see on the health of your swords that was on the ring that you were trapped in. um Which but have we decided how much you know about that?
02:01:34
Trevor
No, I don't think we have. um
02:01:37
The Blade's Edge
I miss up to you how much would you like to know about it? Would you like to know a lot about it or would you like for it to continue to be a secret?
02:01:42
Trevor
I like the secret vibe.
02:01:45
The Blade's Edge
You see that same skull with the snake eating its own tail sort of puff out of this, uh, casket, almost like ah this green sickly smoke.
02:01:56
The Blade's Edge
And as it does, um,
02:01:59
Alma Graves
We know a little about the symbol, don't we?
02:02:03
Alma Graves
It's like, oh,
Cliffhanger Ending
02:02:07
The Blade's Edge
yep, you do know that, um,
02:02:12
The Blade's Edge
When that happens, I need all of you to make constitution saving throws.
02:02:21
Alma Graves
Oh yeah. Consave. Chappow.
02:02:24
Alma Graves
Coming at you. That's a 12.
02:02:30
Kyle
Wait, is this... ah Because I have one level of exhaustion now.
02:02:32
Trevor
I don't know why that.
02:02:35
The Blade's Edge
That's just on checks, not saving throws.
02:02:38
Trevor
Oh, oh wait, that was
02:02:49
The Blade's Edge
Uh, Alma, Andy, Nobby, you take half this damage to son and bash.
02:02:57
The Blade's Edge
You should take 38 points of necrotic damage.
02:03:02
The Blade's Edge
You down bash.
02:03:05
Kyle
No, i'm I'm still up, but...
02:03:08
Trevor
so I think I need 19 halved as well because I'm also resistant to necrotic.
02:03:08
Kyle
Actually, I came out of that fight with more health than I entered it.
02:03:15
The Blade's Edge
and necrotic so you take nine
02:03:20
Alma Graves
Wait, did you say Alma saved with a 12?
02:03:23
Alma Graves
Oh my goodness.
02:03:25
The Blade's Edge
So Alma, you take 19.
02:03:28
The Blade's Edge
Are you still up Alma?
02:03:30
Alma Graves
I am still up. Yeah. Luckily I got lay on hands.
02:03:33
Vesz'rak
Damn, I don't fuck it down.
02:03:35
The Blade's Edge
This, um, this symbol of Osiris pops out of this thing. And, um, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a.
02:03:47
The Blade's Edge
As this negative energy rippled out in a 60-foot radius sphere, you watch Desan drop. And as Desan, your knees hit the ground and then your body falls forward and your head bounces off the grass outside.
02:04:09
Vesz'rak
Concussion protocol.
02:04:11
The Blade's Edge
You see as your eyes close and the camera pans out, a light in the distance, but as your eyes close, a spider crawls on the grass up to your face, up your nose, and it's sitting on top of your eyes, blocking out the light as your eyes close.
02:04:37
The Blade's Edge
And we'll see you guys next time. Thanks so much for tuning in.
02:04:39
Alma Graves
Damn. All right.
02:04:41
The Blade's Edge
Left hanger.

Vesz'rak
All right. For those of you for those of you at home, let's start.
02:04:45
Vesz'rak

02:04:49
Alma Graves
