Introduction and Character Setup
00:00:00
Speaker
I don't do Pythagoras, so fair play. When he gets to Pythagoras' mouth, fuck that shit. We found his weakness. Pythagoras.
00:00:35
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the Fetish of the Table drop dead of the blue blunders. We are a Rive Play 5e 2034 podcast set in the magical homebrew world of Eris in the kingdom of Dralakias. ah Joining you for this week's episode we have Darren who plays the half-orc barbarian Thalakshundjari.
00:00:49
Speaker
Coming to you, Thrive. ah And also playing the human rogue ranger Robin. She's the fighter now actually.
00:01:02
Speaker
It's just a funny way, actually. Will, who plays the Dragonborn Druid by Valcon. you Ian, who plays the Tiefling Warsaw Ronyx Corell and Drago. Hi, and what up?
00:01:14
Speaker
ah The Apple Pie Smashing Edgelord Callum, who plays the Warforged Shartificer Alpha. Gloop. PewDie, who plays the hue the Human Bard, Karstan. Hello.
00:01:27
Speaker
Hello. Hello, my name is Mark and I'm playing the Human Blade singer, Seth Faroe Reaver, and by last but by no means least, is the Lore Lord, the Leader of Legends, the Lexicon of Labyrinths, the Lurker Stripper Nibbler, Dungeon Master Danny!
00:01:43
Speaker
bonjou We find that all hours are... I did like a weird like thing there as I tried to speak. It's like an old man thing, i think That's what happens. That and nose whistling. haven't got the nose whistling
Chandra Lekar's Arrival and Group's Dilemma
00:01:53
Speaker
yet, but I'll get that soon. Speaking of nose whistling, though, we hear the nose whistles of old Gail sat in the dark library, pouring over a tome, rolling the orb between his fingers as he yeah fidgets and looks at the camera and begins. I'm getting too old for this shit. Ooh, sneak attack.
00:02:08
Speaker
The group arrive in the ruins, but it's a rather different. There's a door being battered upon, and Robin Ren and Sion go out there, too. And Baal's like, oh, shit, I'm going to prep the group about Shondralikar and talk about her and how we should fight her. And then she shouts out to her, and it all goes silent. Nix and Tharok open the barricades, and it's just lots of lots of static in the city. And the city has got, like, this ethereal quality, and it's all wispy. And Robin's like, hey, I know this place. It's netherwinter, and suddenly no one can hear each other. And then, from above, Chandra Lekar descends upon the party, frightening everyone apart from those with the hero's feast, which is pretty much every everyone. Meanwhile, on Aerith, Karstan dispels Drago's charm, and Drago has no connection to Akiva anymore, Karstan's like, I know how to get us back on the steel nightmare boy, and he tries to scry on the party, but it turns out
00:03:05
Speaker
They ain't on the same plane of existence.
00:03:09
Speaker
As that spell ends, Drago, and you watch on contender hooks as Karstan is casting this ability to find your brother.
00:03:22
Speaker
The spell ends. You lean in, expecting to hear from Karstan. The next step in is grand plan.
00:03:31
Speaker
Karstan.
00:03:34
Speaker
We're fucked.
00:03:41
Speaker
Can't get to him. What?
00:03:46
Speaker
It's about to work, which the only way that can not work is if they're not actually on Aerith.
00:04:00
Speaker
Fuck. They're not on... then um Yeah, they're not different playing. Like, you know, it's like like light that, Hells. It's like an onion, you know, different layers.
00:04:15
Speaker
Okay. we've got two options. Okay. Oh, okay. I've got more options. So, option one, hear me out. Shondra LaCarr's fucking with the other guys, right?
00:04:27
Speaker
Right. So we fuck Shondra LaCarr. Okay. Hear me out. Right. We go to Chandra Al-Kar's oasis. Yeah. And we tell them to get Chandra Al-Kar to come back.
00:04:40
Speaker
otherwise we we Otherwise, we start killing them, and i get the eggs out of my horse's sat ah satchels that are there. They've been sequestered away. It's great. um And I start making scrambled eggs until they get Chandra Al-Kar to join us.
00:04:53
Speaker
Right.
00:04:57
Speaker
It's an option. Option two. We find Delmontreys and convince him somehow to get us to the rest of the group. Okay.
00:05:08
Speaker
Okay, and that doesn't involve killing any dragons.
Planning and Teleportation to Chandra Al-Kar's Oasis
00:05:12
Speaker
I mean, well... I mean, I don't mind killing a dragon, but unhatched one seems a bit against my kin.
00:05:21
Speaker
I mean, these are the dragons that is actually screwing over Aerith right now. Just saying. just yeah on Okay. Which is the way to get us there quicker?
00:05:33
Speaker
To do the Delmon Trace thing, that's going to be another 10 minutes plus to teleport to Shondra LaCarte's Oasis like less than a minute.
00:05:44
Speaker
because need to know where he is. And if I don't know where he is, I'll have to scry for him just like I did for your brother, which is 10 minutes. Then I've got to be able to teleport to him, assuming that he doesn't for some reason, because the problem is, Drago, is that in casting scrying on Delmontrace, he has to let me look at him. And because it's a spell and he will feel that spell being cast on him, he may try and resist it without knowing why.
00:06:09
Speaker
and if he beat if he's able to stop my magic and he's pretty powerful, it won't work.
00:06:16
Speaker
Now, I'm willing to try it. I just want to put it out there that the one way to get Sean Relicar to come to us is to really piss off Sean Relicar. And being a she has actively screwed me once already in the last week, um you know, fuck her.
00:06:31
Speaker
So you think we can coerce Shondralika away from there to us? I mean, if we threaten to kill the eggs that that she's been looking for, then yeah. I reckon her people will be able to get a message to her fairly quickly, I would hope.
00:06:45
Speaker
Otherwise, she's going to come back and there's just going to be a decimated little how home of hers.
Battle Setup and Strategy
00:06:51
Speaker
but yeah Okay. ah what You decide. You're the paladin. You decide.
00:06:57
Speaker
you saw
00:07:00
Speaker
Delmontrace, kill Chandra LaCarre's brute. Up to you.
00:07:09
Speaker
I'd like to remind of that Delmontrace is a knob.
00:07:13
Speaker
is that Is that we go and kill Delmontrace? No, no. We got to convince him somehow to let us, as part of this plan, go up to the Steel Nightmare, wherever that is in whatever plane of existence is, hoping he has the ability to do so.
00:07:30
Speaker
Without him putting any conditions, you know what a slimy, slippery bastard he is. There is no way he will do it for free unless you threaten him. It feels like we're going above and over and above to try and save this place. It's getting fucking hard work.
00:07:49
Speaker
didn It wasn't this hard last time. just turn up, kill a thing, done. I blame the new people. ah i blame the new guys. Just, just. Am I right in thinking you think that going to kill Shondralakar's brood is the way to do it?
00:08:07
Speaker
I don't. I'm not going lie. Personal investment into this, Shondralakar can go suck a bag of dicks. So, you know, if you want sensible car stand, Delmontrace is the sensible option. If you want to go and work your anger out on people, it's Shondralakar's waders.
00:08:26
Speaker
Just feel like we could
00:08:30
Speaker
Cast down this is important. Yep. If we take on Shondralika, it gets her away from the group.
00:08:43
Speaker
It does. And it brings a whole lot of fucking trouble to us. Yeah, we've been there before. I like him.
00:08:54
Speaker
Jean Jolicar, let's go. Let's go. Right. What are we doing? ah wait We're going to teleport. My horse should still be there.
00:09:05
Speaker
And let's do this.
00:09:09
Speaker
I'm going to... ah He doesn't need to hold anything. It's within 10 feet. could have spotted him. Let's go. And i with a cast out of action, I teleport us to Jean Jolicar's oasis.
Battle with Shondralikar Begins
00:09:20
Speaker
And the kind of scorched earth that you stand on slowly changes for coarse sand.
00:09:28
Speaker
The temperature increases by about 22 degrees as you find yourself in the middle of the desert. And as you begin to kind of look around for that familiar sight once again, you see that oasis.
00:09:48
Speaker
The sentinel crocodiles floating in the water.
00:09:54
Speaker
And you remember where you hitched your horse, not far from here.
00:10:07
Speaker
And the eggs are there, exactly where you left them. Cool. So Carson sort of goes over to the horse and he sort of pulls back the... um the the the bedroll, whatever that's at the back of the horse, that kind of thing that's there. And it looks like nothing's there. And he utters a few words. And it's really weird um that the the idea of that they've been sequestered away, this spell sequester, and these eggs suddenly appear as if they were invisible, as if they were invisible.
00:10:35
Speaker
Right. knew I had to prepare this at some point. Okay. So here are the eggs. Now, I'm of the mind to break one now, but if you want to threaten the druids and say, look, we've got the eggs here, get a chondelle car here now. Let's do the threaten thing.
00:10:52
Speaker
i see Yeah, let's do the threaten thing. Okay, okay, okay. Where are the druids? I mean, the crocodiles. As you begin to unfold this plan, the camera just zooms out of the desert, rotates to the skies, and zooms back in to the steel nightmare, the ghostly visage of Neverwinter.
00:11:15
Speaker
Where I need everyone who is in that city square to roll initiative, please. Dragon!
00:11:24
Speaker
Well, shit. It's happening.
00:11:30
Speaker
Whoa. Why have I rolled so much dice for initiative? Oh, no, it's mixing in with you guys. That's okay. I got to see what dice you've chosen though. Basic bitch.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah, I am. I don't even know that you could choose dice. So yes. He doesn't know how. Default dice. Whatever comes with D&D Beyond. that's the only fault Default. I was going to ask who's the other player with the default dice and now I know it's Ian. I'm the same. I mean, it's not a big step there.
00:11:56
Speaker
I have so many dice to choose from. I like how it says with Seth, rolled with basic black dice. can't change this dice right here. I'll fuck around. Ooh.
00:12:10
Speaker
Well, that's a small dragon. Hey, now. That's just So what you're looking at is a virtual tabletop of this scene. Ren, Alpha, and Sayangar wrapped in ah in a pink aura as you are under the frightened condition.
00:12:27
Speaker
ah Originally on the map, that was the temple that you're kind of stood in front of. Because this has been levelled, it's entirely flat now. and The green areas denote all the debris of that temple, so that counts as difficult terrain if you're moving over the green, but it has no elevation anymore. That has been destroyed.
00:12:43
Speaker
um
00:12:46
Speaker
All right. Initiative then. ah Alpha. I got a 12. Thank you. Baal. Nine. Thank you. Robin. 15. Thank you. Nyx.
00:13:04
Speaker
Unfortunately, I got a 19. Thank you. Prager got a 14. Seth. 13. Oh, come on, guys. 10. 10. ah thirteen i'll come on guys ten Tharok Sanjari. 17. No.
00:13:19
Speaker
no And Ren got 10. We'll start combat. Top of the round, Shondra L'Kar. Oh, apologies. and Alpha, could you roll again?
00:13:30
Speaker
You have advantage on your initiative roll because you perceived this incoming. Oh, okay, cool. I can perceive you. Come on, man. Be first. I got a 15. That fucking sucks. It is. It's shit. It bumps you up a little bit, but it's still Shandral Kar to go first. Anything that makes me come first. Shandral Kar is about 40 feet in the air above all of you.
00:13:50
Speaker
ah Shandral Kar is going to take one kind of descending flap lower and is going to use her wings in an all-powerful kind of...
00:14:03
Speaker
ah
00:14:07
Speaker
of spherical spin and going to ask everyone who is within 15 feet of her, which is Seth, Robin, Prego, Tharok, not quite Nyx.
00:14:29
Speaker
You all need to make pleas. Deck saves.
00:14:41
Speaker
about
00:14:45
Speaker
It's still rolling. I think it's done now. ah It is an number that I no longer see on my screen. Okay, well, you're figuring that out.
00:14:56
Speaker
oh Oh, there it is. 21, apparently. Oh. Holy shit. ah Fail. Seth. 25. Pass. Robin.
00:15:07
Speaker
Robin was a 20. Fail. I'm going to use my second round level then. Okay. What does that do? It allows me to re-roll it and I get to add 16 to whatever i roll.
00:15:19
Speaker
If I still fail, I keep the roll.
00:15:25
Speaker
We get two of them per long rest. Is that right? yeah Yeah. 32. Pass. ah Prego failed. Tharok. Tharok's 12. failed alpha you have something to say i'm just wondering uh could use my flash of genius on ball at this stage just as when a creature oh well actually 30 feet is he within 30 feet of me just i can add four to his i can spur my reaction and a flash of genius to add four to his role yes that doesn't seem like that's counterintuitive to the fear they'll allow it cool thank you for turning out of four to your ball there ball
00:16:01
Speaker
oh Hero, thank you. Okay, so those of you who failed will take points of bludgeoning damage.
00:16:14
Speaker
You are prone.
00:16:19
Speaker
And Shondrada Kaur will ascend 60 foot higher.
00:16:25
Speaker
Those of you who passed, nothing happens.
00:16:37
Speaker
That's all she's going to do in this first round. Nick's Corral. How far up is Shondra La Car?
00:16:44
Speaker
60 feet above you. Okay, sorry, I thought you said 60 more foot. Sorry, no, she reascended 60 foot plus the 40 foot she is from you. So she's 40 foot across, 60 foot up.
00:16:56
Speaker
I can't do Pythagoras that quickly, but um you work it out.
00:17:03
Speaker
Was she six? What? 60 foot in the air. Yeah. And she's 40 feet horizontally from you. Oh, oh, okay. yeah Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. that Finishing that triangle.
Strategic Moves and Dragon's Retaliation
00:17:12
Speaker
i can't remember. Sorry. I was too busy deciding what to do. And you were saying numbers and I heard 60 and I just ran with that. Okie dokie.
00:17:19
Speaker
Oh, shit. Okay. Okay. um Let's try this. Let's fucking just hit the big, big bollock spell straight off the bat. Okay.
00:17:32
Speaker
Nyx is going to move his full 30 feet, so he's um almost 10 foot from being completely under her. And listening to what Baal had said in the last episode about trying to ground this motherfucker.
00:17:54
Speaker
Let's fucking... She's 60 foot, though. She's fucking 60 foot. She's fucking 60 foot.
00:18:03
Speaker
She's 60. Yeah, Pythagoras is hard. Fucking... Where's the... Where's the thing? Where's the thing? ah there you are.
00:18:14
Speaker
Ah, okay, cool. Right, so um Nix is going to ah close his eyes and ah push his hands down to the ground.
00:18:26
Speaker
And as he does so, these the purple lightning that's so Nix starts to i ah to appear on his horns and it spreads through his body. And as it reaches his fingertips and pushes into the ground, what shoots up from the ground are purple lightnings.
00:18:44
Speaker
lightning infested tendrils that are going to attempt to wrap and loop around Shondralkar in the sky. It can reach 300 feet and the target must succeed on a strength saving throw, which is a 16 as Nick's casts earth bind. Oh yeah.
00:19:07
Speaker
But a strength. I know, I know, but I've got to try.
00:19:14
Speaker
28. Fucking dragons.
00:19:22
Speaker
Shit. Great shout, though. i mean um So that's my action. i will...
00:19:42
Speaker
And my go there Yeah. That's it. said you moved as well.
00:19:53
Speaker
I did. Yes. I moved a whole, all my 30 feet of movement. Cause you said I was 40 feet away from her. Um, let me move on screen.
00:20:06
Speaker
It would be right, right there. Sanger, you're up next. I am directly, if she's directly from a center point to the ground, she's 60 feet up, I am from that center point on the ground, 10 foot away from that.
00:20:21
Speaker
There's your Pythagoras. Thank you. I've got my triangle calculator up now, so i can I can do this angle for help everyone. Don't worry. Okay, awesome. 63 63 I'm going say Syingar is under the he's scared he's a little scared bitch so I'm assuming I have to just move away you just can't get closer it doesn't say about getting um further away just said you can't get closer he's going to run away the end of your turn you'll make the save again am I have nothing ranged I didn't think that far ahead um and everything he does is very martial, involves being up close, so that's the end of my turn.
00:21:02
Speaker
And I re-roll the wisdom saving throw now. Yes. Hocky docky, that is a wow, huge 13.
00:21:11
Speaker
13. ah Don't you have this thing that Robin has? I do, but I don't think this is worth using it for. All right, frightened. you don't Don't you have to roll it with disadvantage because you're frightened? Does it say anything about that?
00:21:28
Speaker
The spell doesn't say that, but... Brighton says you have disbanded ability action attack rolls while the source of the fear is in the line of Sime. Okay, to not so say not safe. You're still frightened, Sanka.
00:21:40
Speaker
That's cool. Okay. Thank you very much for your contribution, Tharok Sanjari.
00:21:47
Speaker
Farok is going to snap to his feet. rage ah fuck it and it's then going to ignite the cape and it's just going to take off towards shondralica nice
00:22:03
Speaker
angry um i don't think i'll reach you this turn because had to use half my movement getting up but i will start flying in the direction of shondralica sometimes it takes us half our movement to go and don't worry It does at my age. um I'm going to just fly toward that directly towards Shrongjalaqar.
00:22:23
Speaker
and What's your speed? What's the cape's flying speed? What does it give me?
00:22:30
Speaker
I think it's your movement speed. Okie dokie. That is 35, I think, as far as I'm going double check that. Okay, so you would have stood up for Round up, you stood up for 20.
00:22:45
Speaker
So you've had 15, 15 foot in the air.
00:22:51
Speaker
Okay. Yep. Fab. That's what I've done. Great. Then you also take fire damage. I do.
00:23:03
Speaker
The only.
00:23:05
Speaker
He ignited his flame-tongued sword, he said. It's every source of flame within 30 feet. So your wildfire spirit will also disappeared. Is it within 120 feet? My wildfire spirit is to the north of me. so a ho says anything with the start it's It's outside feet. fine. doesn't but you say the item says one The item says all of flame within feet of your Oh, it Thank you for...
00:23:32
Speaker
Correcting. Fucking crack some eggs, Will. It's in the party inventory. It's literally written your D&D Beyond. You're not in this fight. Shut up. You can read it in D&D Beyond. It's right there. This is how he contributes to the fight. He's my assistant. Yeah, wildfire spirit's gone. Bile. Yeah, requires his five feet of active flame trigger.
00:23:50
Speaker
You dick. Fucking happy. Okay. ah Robin's turn.
00:24:00
Speaker
Robin will just immediately say under his breath, fuck, and will go over his hand, and you'll notice that there are no quivers, there is no arrow, sorry, in his quiver. And what he does is this energy starts to form in his right hand as he brings it out, and he pulls out this energy arrow, and he's just going to unleash three very quick shots towards Shondralikar.
00:24:28
Speaker
Go for it.
00:24:33
Speaker
First one is a 23. Hits.
00:24:41
Speaker
Takes 7 points of force damage. Second one is 27. Hits.
00:24:55
Speaker
Takes an additional 10 points of force damage. Thank you.
00:25:04
Speaker
Final one for 25. Hits.
00:25:10
Speaker
Takes max damage, 14 points of force damage. Thank you. Anything else for your turn? What Robin will then do is
00:25:25
Speaker
he's going to move in Ren's direction, get towards her, and he's just going to shout... Get to cover. Get him here however you can.
00:25:38
Speaker
And that's the end of Robin's turn. Okay. Shondra is going to take a legendary action and is going to see the incoming flying half-orc and is going to whip her tail and just strike you with it thoroughly.
00:26:05
Speaker
33 to hit. 20 feet. You'd be surprised to learn that that hits.
00:26:15
Speaker
I'm surprised. Is he within 20 feet?
00:26:21
Speaker
Yes. If she's 60 feet up and he's moved 15 feet. i've and yeah I've only gone so far because I can only fly so far. Because I had to get up. Sorry, i just to will this one because my wife was i' fine. that I don't do Pythagoras, so fair play. When he gets to Pythagoras' mouth, fuck that shit. We found his weakness. That one is now 45. Pythagoras.
00:26:44
Speaker
B, calculate. B needs to be smaller than C. Not on this triangle, doesn't. Hang on. This is cool, kids. ah No, good call.
00:26:56
Speaker
You're still 40 feet away. Thank you for helping me with that triangle. Maths. Thanks. Thanks, helpful Will. Yeah, you're welcome, buddy. Anything to big up the team?
00:27:06
Speaker
All things must be equal. Both Wills can't do better for Ying and Yang. Ying and Yang. No, absolutely fair play. Thank you for challenging in that.
00:27:18
Speaker
Sidon is like, fuck that shit. Flaybeth. Hold that legendary action until you're bit closer then. Great. It is Prego's turn. Prego is... little bitch.
00:27:32
Speaker
ah He is going to... Banish Robin and Syngar. Fuck you guys. He is going to spell your fear, Syngar, and cast Heroism on you instead.
00:27:47
Speaker
Ooh, her witch.
00:27:51
Speaker
yeah
00:27:58
Speaker
This blue mage hand just kind of slaps you two or three times around the face, Syingar, to kind of knock you out of this trance, and you are kind of removed from that sense.
00:28:09
Speaker
ah You also get six temporary hit points if you don't have any already.
00:28:23
Speaker
And then he's going to draw his blade that was given to him from Seth and just point it at the dragon. That is the end of his turn.
00:28:35
Speaker
It is sir Seth Ferroever's turn. All right. this was going to happen. Seth's going to look up, pull out a tab from his baggy bag, a pair of bird goggles appear on his face, then shoot out towards the dragon. and He's casting blindness upon him. He's a constitution saving throw.
00:29:05
Speaker
six That fails because you're a bitch. ah No, that passes. um So he's going to realize that, swear under his breath, and cast fifth level Shadow Blade instead. I cast two spells in one turn. Sorry, I've turned evil. Eat shit. It's a bonus action. Oh, you son a bitch.
00:29:27
Speaker
Can't cast two level spells without... um Oh, no, they're joined forces....without a Yin and yang has just become a dick. You need to say something good. that The yin and yang has gone round. Seth, do you have any, like, metamagic feats that you cast quicken spell?
00:29:41
Speaker
That's what I get. Shut up. you play You're playing a wizard, right? You can use magic and spell? No, that's a sorcerer. A sorcerer has that, not a wizard. Come on, Will, you should know that. In that case, eat your shit and die, you're fucked.
00:29:58
Speaker
Cool. Then Seth's going to do a um Like, you know the guy, the kid at the computer who kind of like thumbs up to the camera? He's going to kind of do one of those nods him. Thumbs up to whoever's next to him. And that's his turn.
00:30:12
Speaker
I mean, it's worth it just in case she rolls a one. Positivity. Thank
00:30:20
Speaker
thank you shall have a legendary resistance. Alpha, wear him down, baby. Ew, yeah. Okay, so Alpha's shitting a brick. Um...
00:30:32
Speaker
But my beta cannon is still ongoing, so I am going to attempt to attack with my beta cannon. I have 120 feet range on my force ballista. So let's see if I can hit with this.
00:30:45
Speaker
Probably not with a 15. Is a witty disadvantage? I don't think my cannon can be frightened.
00:30:57
Speaker
not like a proper roll. Whose ability does it use to roll? and It has like its own. ah So it should have made and ah ah made a saving throw then.
00:31:09
Speaker
Whose side are you guys on? You fucking Sean.Cart lovers. Because it exists and has its own stats. We're now Yang Yangs. It's not a thing though, genuinely. It's not a thing where if a certain creature has below a certain level of intelligence, then it's it just doesn't work. It's great for an intelligence saving throw, but...
00:31:30
Speaker
Oh, fuck, there's three of them now. I can do. i ain't bothered because even on the without it, it's not going to hit with 15 anyway. missed. That's missed.
00:31:42
Speaker
That's fine. That's fine.
00:31:45
Speaker
Al's going to do something else instead. He's going to try and create the normal kind of fireball he does with his pistol. Well, it's going to get jammed. He's not used it for a bit. He's kind of whacking it. It just seems to be building up a little bit more of energy.
00:32:03
Speaker
And it's going to keep growing, keep growing. They're just pointing it in the Shondralikar direction. And I'm going to cast Fireball because I can do that now. And obviously in a point, so I'm not aiming at Shondralikar with the Fireball. I'm aiming at a point around.
00:32:20
Speaker
So I don't have to do this with advantage. basic look in know She's in the sky. so you don't As long as you can see her.
00:32:31
Speaker
She's 60 foot in the sky, so you'd just be firing past her. like There's no way you could kind of achieve that splash without wanting to harm her, which you can't do under this condition.
00:32:42
Speaker
i mean, he can. It just says this van he just says a bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range. Didn't say it has to be an actual piece of ground. I'm misunderstanding. I thought that you were trying to not consciously hit her so you didn't invoke disadvantage.
00:33:00
Speaker
Oh, no, I just have to pick a point. The actual spell itself is... I pick a point somewhere and it explodes there. It's a dex save, isn't it? Yeah, it's just a dex save. Airburst round.
00:33:13
Speaker
That's pretty much it. I'm just firing missiles into the sky. No, you're going to pass on the dex save, I know. Roll a five. Oh. Oh.
00:33:24
Speaker
um Eight D6 worth of fire damage. So let's hope this goes... well There's a clue. There's some dice. 30 points of fire damage.
00:33:36
Speaker
who Okay, thank you for the damage, Callum. You now need to make wisdom saves for the Frightened. Yep. The first one for my turret beta is a 14.
00:33:52
Speaker
And the one for me, Alpha, is 16. Me! You are still frightened. Oh, goddammit. but Anything else on your turn?
00:34:04
Speaker
No, nothing. I've used everything. Balvalcon, you're up next. ah Yeah. Am I right in thinking that to my north, there is like what I can see on the map. It looks like the little outhouse of the small alleyway and like a cart and shit like that um around me. Is that that's all the stuff that's around me to the north? That's right.
00:34:24
Speaker
that's right Awesome. Baal's going to kind of run to the edge of the steps to that direction using 15 feet of his movement. ah Look behind him, see that alleyway, and he's going to jump onto the cart um into the center. He's going to use his bonus action to resummon his wildfire spirit.
00:34:42
Speaker
um And he will do that kind of above him in the air. ah So almost like as ah as a mini firework, just this explosion happening after... Chandra Lekar has just been hit by this big fireball.
00:34:55
Speaker
A secondary explosion kind of above Baal with his bonus action there. He's going look over to Chandra Lekar and just shout up to her again. um And basically, so well, fuck it. Basically going just shout up to her and say, you know what you said about me and those fucking eggs?
00:35:21
Speaker
I meant every one of them. And he's going to breathe into his hand and use a second level, only second level, ah
00:35:32
Speaker
Scorching Ray. So three rays coming out. First one blasting in for a 21 to hit.
00:35:42
Speaker
Misses. Okay, second one will miss as well then. And the third one ah turds, 17 on the last one as well. So none of them hit, um but all three, well, none of them kind of make any damage, if you like, but all three will be blasted towards Shondranakar's face as he's just standing there on this cart to the north.
00:36:04
Speaker
That's me. OK, thank you very much. It is Wren's turn. Wren is going to follow your instruction, ah Robin, and is going to communicate via a sending spell, you imagine, and some information.
00:36:20
Speaker
And then she is going to continue to kind of flee a little bit and take a kind of cover by those that market stalls to the north that Baal is at the other end of.
00:36:32
Speaker
And then she's just going to kind of attempt to steal herself
00:36:40
Speaker
And she is no longer frightened. That is the end of her turn.
Dragon Stunned and Vulnerable
00:36:45
Speaker
Top of the round, Chandra LaCarre. I would like you, Bahl,
00:36:55
Speaker
to make a persuasion check or an intimidation check, your choice. to see Both will be equally balls. Taunt her. Yes, yes, yes, yes. it Doesn't really matter which one I do. Both will kind of be relatively balls, especially with a two.
00:37:16
Speaker
and Slowly seeing this orc flying towards her at very slow speed, but then clocking you, Baal.
00:37:27
Speaker
You watch as her gullet begins to bolt and cackle. Small sparks of electricity form in her throat.
00:37:39
Speaker
She positions herself slightly more advantageously.
00:37:48
Speaker
Lowers herself to the ground. And Nyx, you can kind of feel a kind of brushing of air. She's about five feet now hovering above you.
00:38:02
Speaker
And she's going to unleash this breath of lightning through Nyx Corel, through Robin, striking straight at the heart of you, Baal.
00:38:15
Speaker
I need you u three to make dexterity saving throws.
00:38:23
Speaker
That's not cool.
00:38:29
Speaker
or Especially when I roll a natty one. ah
00:38:38
Speaker
Nick is now playing with the dice as well. I told you not to die, Nick. Yeah, yeah, i got I got six in total, but that does include a natural one.
00:38:49
Speaker
A nine. Count a spell?
00:38:52
Speaker
It's a nine from Baal. It doesn't work on breath weapon. Nine from Baal. It's a six from Nick's career. It is a six. and And Robin? Eleventh.
00:39:03
Speaker
Eleventh. Okay. You all take 86 points of lightning damage. ah
00:39:13
Speaker
Reaction. And Chandra LeCard ascends with a remaining movement up to 40 feet. I'm down. Your reaction? My reaction is spitting flame ahead of me very well, preempting this, actually planning for this to happen.
00:39:30
Speaker
And Baal is going to basically belch out flame in front of him in a cone that curls back around and the lightning damage strikes through it and still hits a massive brunt, but he's casting absorb elements.
00:39:43
Speaker
So I become resistant to that lightning damage and take half. What was the overall damage? Sorry. 86, I think. 44. 83, sorry, 83, everyone.
00:39:57
Speaker
Okay, so 41 halved, yeah Obviously we halved and ran it down. Cool, so yeah, Baal takes that. Okay, thank you very much.
00:40:11
Speaker
and That's all she can do. Next, Corral. I'm down. I'm making a death saving throw. You still get to add your d4 from blessed to this because it's still active while you're blessed on the ground. Thanks, mate.
00:40:25
Speaker
Let's do this.
00:40:31
Speaker
And I add my d4. Thank God. ah That's 11. Who's the pass? Yep.
00:40:41
Speaker
Next turn, Sayangar, no longer frightened. What will you do ah Turn and draw two short swords and hold them in dagger-like positions and use the dash action to get as close as you can to Shondralika.
00:41:00
Speaker
And I get somewhere close to the side of Shondralika, but obviously she's also 40 feet in the air. yeah And that's it. He stares.
00:41:12
Speaker
a And that's the end of my day. Flip of the bird. okay Thank you very much. Tharok Sanjari. Sanjari is 25 feet above you. And 10 more feet kind of in that direction. So you can with all your movement get in melee range.
00:41:27
Speaker
Yeah, and Tharok has... Tharok's raging, which means he's not privy to anything other that's happening around him other than big fucking dragon that he wants to fight. So he's going to...
00:41:40
Speaker
bolt towards that dragon and try and take two swings at it with his sword.
00:41:49
Speaker
Go for it. Yep. Sorry, I'm just having to switch back from Robin.
00:41:58
Speaker
You mean clicked on the other tab? 28 to hit. ah but Yeah, I clicked on Robin by accident.
00:42:10
Speaker
Okay, 10 points of s slashing damage.
00:42:20
Speaker
And four points of fire damage on that. Thank you very much. Anything else? Yep. Swing again.
00:42:32
Speaker
miss Okey dokey. ah What I will also do with that first hit is I will sap it, which means the creature has disadvantage on its neck on its next attack roll before the start of my next turn.
00:42:49
Speaker
So the first attack roll Chondrella Carr makes is a disadvantage.
00:42:57
Speaker
But if she's going to do that lightning breath again, and it won't do anything. Hmm. Where's the recharge? Thank you so much. ah Dustin Ghostbane, i.e. Robin.
00:43:09
Speaker
dust um Dustin Ghostbane will take a deep, deep, deep breath and he will for his bonus action, he's going to second wind and just instinctively do that to take some hit points back.
00:43:23
Speaker
He will recover 19 points.
00:43:33
Speaker
Then what he's going to do is he's going to just the energy is going to crackle in his fingers as he breathes in. And he's going to go straight back for one of those force arrows as he goes to take three more shots at Shondralikar.
00:44:01
Speaker
That's a 22 to hit.
00:44:11
Speaker
22 to hit.
00:44:15
Speaker
You're muted Danny. Meets and
00:44:24
Speaker
Okay, that's 13 points of force damage.
00:44:29
Speaker
Thank you very much. Another one's going to fly towards it.
00:44:35
Speaker
Oh, I've not said this for a while. this Oh, hold on. No, nope no, no. It's the wrong wrong type of fighter. That is a a natural 19, which of course we all know is one off a crit, which means that is a 32 to hit.
00:44:47
Speaker
Holy shit. That hits for damage.
00:44:56
Speaker
That is eight points of force damage. Thank you very much. And then final one.
00:45:05
Speaker
which is a 20 not natural to hit. That misses. Okie dokie. Thank you very much. um What I will add to that is I'm going to add a slow to that so its speed is reduced by 10 feet as it got hit by my bow. I'm a master of that.
00:45:29
Speaker
And what I am then going to do is just... again, try and using his tactical mind is try keep this, this dragon from being able to do that to free of it again. So he's just going to move Northwest and then ready his bow again for the next round.
00:45:50
Speaker
Thank you very much. much a Next up is Prager the Majestic's turn with his blade still drawn, pointing at Chandra Le Carr. Those closest to him... Actually, none of you will looking, but Seth, you'll probably just kind of hear over your left shoulder kind of murmuring in infernal and this kind of glow pulses out of Prego, and his elvish skin begins to change.
00:46:21
Speaker
And he takes on a much kind of more fell appearance. His skin turns to black. kind of green, vile plane-esque veins and fissures on his body kind of appearing.
00:46:35
Speaker
And he's just going to utter a word, this dragon in the sky. And there is this bolt of green light that leaves him and strikes her to see if she passes this.
00:46:56
Speaker
She falls to the ground, immobilized. She is stunned and drops 40 feet and smashes against the floor.
00:47:07
Speaker
And then Prego is going to beeline to Nyx and just pressed rest a hand on his shoulder.
00:47:16
Speaker
Seth, this dragon has just fallen from the sky and is paralyzed in front of you.
00:47:28
Speaker
My turn? Yep. Fuck yeah. ah Seth's gonna mutter something about climbing on the dragon. And then as he's walking up, he's gonna reach for his tab of Shadow Blade and realize there's one more a bit further along than there was before in the fifth level area. and he's going to smile gently to himself and pull that out and the blade's going to form on his hand. Five, 10, 15, 20, 20, 30 feet of movement and I'm going to climb up part of the dragon, maybe not all the way onto the nape of its back, but onto it in some way. And then I'm just going to um just going to wail on it.
00:48:04
Speaker
and just hit it for a few times so I have two attacks with Shadow Blade okay so that's my first one is going to be 23 and my second one is going to be a fucking 10 first one hits Okie dokie. So that's going to be 48, which is 25 points of psychic damage, followed up by a single hit of a scimitar of wounding as an offhand attack, which I can add my normal ah proficiency modified to, so it's a 21 to hit.
00:48:37
Speaker
ah Misses. Fuck. they Ignore the dice. I i pre-rolled. For the first one. Yeah. I've got that one, yeah. This was a yeah second hit. That is bonus action. That is action. That has been done.
00:48:53
Speaker
Thank you very much. Alpha.
00:48:59
Speaker
Alpha's going to look over to Baal. And Baal, if you were to glance-eyed with Alpha, you would kind of see the same fear. that he's had with Shang-Chi Al-Qar before. The same fear with Tolkilon. He's obviously still under the frightened stage, but he's just going to do one quick nod to you. Alpha's going to move back a little bit, probably only about fifteen odd feet.
00:49:25
Speaker
ah to try and put himself behind where this light cart is, and a bit next to Ren. And I'm going to repeat what I did on the boat. I'm going to cast Vortex Warp on Nyx as a 90-foot range, and I can basically move him right next to me.
00:49:53
Speaker
nice as long as in line of sight. ah So that's my action. And then my bonus action is to give him one of the um potions of greater healing that is in the shared inventory.
00:50:09
Speaker
um I fucking love you. 4d4 plus 4. Let's hope this goes down the throat and nice and smooth.
00:50:24
Speaker
17 points of healing for you, Nyx. Thank you Tasty. And that is all I can do on my turn. So I will make my normal wisdom saving throws.
00:50:36
Speaker
ah One for beta, which is a fucking seven. He would still be using with disadvantage.
00:50:44
Speaker
And I get a natural 20 for myself. a my boy yeah um but um number but the ba Not where I wanted the natural but I'll still take it.
Episode Conclusion and Cliffhanger
00:50:57
Speaker
I'm presuming that is enough to not frighten you anymore. It's where Daniel's like the DC was 25, bitch.
00:51:04
Speaker
It hits. It was a saving throw against the... um My wisdom saving throw against the frightened condition. Sorry, you both spoke at once there. What did you say? it The natural 20 was my wisdom saving throw for the frightened condition.
00:51:19
Speaker
Sorry. Yes, you are no longer frightened. That's everything I can do.
00:51:28
Speaker
Thank you very much. It is now Bile Valcón's turn. Yeah, it is. Bile's going to kind of ah flinch a bit with his scorched, shocked body. ah Not as badly a hit, obviously, as perhaps the others.
00:51:45
Speaker
And he's going to say, is that all you've got? You pathetic worm! And he's going to shove one hand forwards, flip it palm up, and just point fingers to the air and raise his hand up into the sky and just cast a first level Entangle kind of underneath Shondraddha. So it's a 20-footer. He would do it so that he isn't obviously going to catch his friends within this, so if that means he has to push it back a little bit.
00:52:14
Speaker
um But she essentially has to make a strength save.
00:52:22
Speaker
I'm just checking the stun condition one sec. ah What kind of dex? Sorry, was it dex? Strength. Strength. Automatic fail. Ho, ho, ho, ho. She is now restrained under vines. These vines burst out of the stones underneath her. She will, however, burn is legendary resistance to succeed.
00:52:41
Speaker
There it is. Not a problem. yeah um The spell is still there. So effectively what that does is it turns that area into...
00:52:52
Speaker
ah Let me just double check... it is difficult terrain. So it will half her movement speed. If she's prone there, will half her movement speed as well. Um, with on the floor, as these vines tried to kind of grasp onto her, but she's not restrained. Um, that is his action.
00:53:09
Speaker
Then for his bonus action, what he's going to do is he's going to send his wild fast spirit, uh, Let me just double check the range on what it can do.
00:53:22
Speaker
um But he's going to send his wildfire spirit over to... I think he's going to send it to Nyx, depending on the range. Yes, he's going to send the wildfire spirit kind of over the roof towards Nyx with a mental communication. Not necessarily to do anything, but just kind of stay with him is is what he'll communicate. So the wildfire spirit will move there. And then with disadvantage, it's going to take a ranged flame seed attack.
00:53:45
Speaker
to uh shondralokar it's not likely to hit because obviously it's a disadvantage because it is prone first one was a two so i won't even bother re-rolling um unless you want me to search for the crit fail which i which you all got because i did it anyway ah ah for fuck's sake fuck me there's a crit roll a two and a one maybe roll a d20 for me oh gladly absolutely what could possibly go right it blows up Screw the pooch, baby. D20 is a 12.
00:54:18
Speaker
Nothing happens. Thank fuck. Cool. That's me. That's my turn. Thank you. It is Ren's turn. And Ren, seeing that Seth has put himself in a potentially precarious position, is just going to step back into range, so almost shouldering up with her brother Robin.
00:54:36
Speaker
And is going to cast haste on you, Seth.
00:54:43
Speaker
You are hasted, which means that you ah double speed like another action.
00:54:55
Speaker
ah Your speed is doubled. Your AC goes up by two. You have advantage on Dex saving throws, and you gain and additional action on your turn.
00:55:07
Speaker
You can be only you could only take the attack action with it, the dash, disengage, hide, or use an object action, so can't be like another spell. You are hasted. And that's all she's going to be able to do with her turn.
00:55:21
Speaker
Which takes us to top of the round, Shondralikar, who is going to recover from her stun and is going to unleash a series of attacks around those around her. So she will have multi-attack.
00:55:36
Speaker
She'll bite in two claws. And she's standing up. Yes. Okay. So yeah yeah, it's obviously difficult terrain, it'll be half a movement speed and then... Yeah.
00:55:48
Speaker
Then half her movement speed because she's prone as well. Yeah. So quarter of her movement speed just to be back on her feet. Cool. Yeah. Okay. Here we go.
00:56:01
Speaker
On you...
00:56:11
Speaker
Seth does a 20 hit. It won't after I cast Shield. Bump. Nice. On Therok Sonjari, there's a 24 hit. the sky if that You are still up in the sky. it is a reach of 10 feet.
00:56:28
Speaker
You haven't come back down, so you're you're not going to get struck. Sorry to be a dick, but she's gargantuan in size, isn't she? So technically, that's what, 25 feet in all dimensions? So she would be potentially tall enough to.
00:56:45
Speaker
Theral could be 40 feet in the air. Oh, then never mind. So if she's 20 feet plus 10 is 30, there's still a deficit.
00:56:54
Speaker
So there's one on Sayangar and one on Prego. Sayangar does a 22 hit you. Yes. You take 19 points of slashing damage.
00:57:10
Speaker
I can take it. And he hits Prego. So she hits Prego for 16 points of bludgeoning damage. And that's all she's going to do at this point in her turn, which takes us to
00:57:33
Speaker
Nyx Corral. Nyx, you're back on your feet.
00:57:38
Speaker
She's not a straight air once again. know on the brink of death. Oh, I see where this is going. Holding onto your name. Here we go. Nick's the undying next, the undying to find out we're going to do a thing
00:57:55
Speaker
next week. That's where we are. Until next time. Until next time. Wait, actually, before we do wrap up, I've got some notes for the listeners. hi how you all doing?
00:58:07
Speaker
For the next 10 episodes, we're not going to be following the Bellum Draconis main campaign because it's the summer and we don't have all our cast members here. But as always, we are still dedicated to releasing content every Friday.
00:58:22
Speaker
So we have, for the first time, I'm excited about this, you should be excited about this, he's probably not, we have Callum taking the DM's chair and presenting a little side quest for us.
00:58:33
Speaker
Ten episodes deep, it's still set within the realm of Bellum Juconus, it takes place after Eurion's been fucking murdered, and there's a contingency plan that has kicked off, and the Winged Watch need to respond to it.
00:58:47
Speaker
Callum's our DM, the cast members are the Winged Watched, So please tune in next week to find out what happens there. And then after 10 episodes, unless Callum really needs to go forwards and does like 12 or 15, we're planned for 10.
00:59:04
Speaker
After that, we will be chasing the finale of Bellum Draconis, season two coming to an end. Thank you for listening, tuning in, making us part you every week. We love you for it.
00:59:17
Speaker
Farewell. Farewell.
