Speaker
As we dive into bold adventures and fantastic tales, what better way to continue our exciting era than with bloody, glorious combat?
00:01:06
Speaker
For your listening pleasure, we conclude to today's amazing adventure with the fine, fine crew of Survive This Crit as they ascend the stairs to the secret laboratory of Dr. Verschmelzenkoper.
00:01:21
Speaker
Enjoy, as together we make sweet music.
00:01:36
Speaker
and I head towards the stairs. You climb to the top of the spiraling staircase. Furniture dots the floor, ragged with age and neglect.
00:01:47
Speaker
You can make out sobbing from the southwest. It is a high and pitiful song. Bookshelves line the east wall, and you can make out what appears to be a master bedroom in the southeast, a sitting room to the northwest, and a nursery to the southwest.
00:02:07
Speaker
A washroom sits off to the northwest. Could I roll investigation to try to find clues as to where this doctor is?
Strategy and Investigation
00:02:17
Speaker
Because now that Nick is alive, my focus is to find this doctor because I know how this game works and I don't want us all to get trapped here.
00:02:27
Speaker
okay Okay. Yeah. Give me an investigation check. All right, team, we got to find this doctor. That's our mission. And I will find nothing. Plus two. That's an eight. You hear sobbing echoing to the Southwest. I hear crying. think we should go there.
00:02:44
Speaker
oh
00:02:46
Speaker
I mean, if you guys want to go toward the crying, sure, we can go toward the crying. um is there i Does anyone else want to roll for something? Because I i hear crying and that's it.
00:03:00
Speaker
So we we know that there's a there's a doctor in the laboratory, right? We're headed for the laboratory. I'm going to... I'm gonna yeah we don't know walk to the middle of the room.
00:03:10
Speaker
I'm gonna sit down, close my eyes and listen and see if I can hear the faintest of noises
Discovery of the Secret Passage
00:03:17
Speaker
to try and deduce from left and right where I might hear a room that might sound more hollow or reflective with the sound of metal tools versus where might the crying come from versus sure where I could hear.
00:03:30
Speaker
We're gonna add two to this. Can I bless you as well? You absolutely can. Okay, I'm gonna do that. This would be perception or investigation? Investigation. Investigation. As you reach out with your senses.
00:03:43
Speaker
So I will do investigation. guess bless. So before I add the bless, that's a 19. Oh, okay. Sorry, 21 plus maximum for on the, so 25.
00:03:54
Speaker
on the so twenty five investigation So that was a night is an 18 on the die plus one investigation plus two that you said 21 plus four from bless. So the viewers are clear.
00:04:06
Speaker
So Chandler, the sobbing that you hear has the same echo as the ghost you heard downstairs.
00:04:18
Speaker
That
Confrontation with the Doctor
00:04:19
Speaker
one was destroyed unquestionably. But with 25, you absolutely recognize that it is another ghost sobbing away in the southwest corner of the house.
00:04:36
Speaker
As your senses acclimate to the the crumbling, shuddering house around you, you hear the crackle of electricity above.
00:04:47
Speaker
You hear the groan of timbers barely supporting enormous weight above. And we'll say, because you because of how you phrased what you have said and done,
00:05:07
Speaker
you hear just the lightest whisper of a draft and you head over to the bookshelf on the Eastern wall.
00:05:24
Speaker
and you feel a breeze. You're looking over the, and again, because of the 25, as you're looking over the spines of all these leather bound books, one that draws your attention ah was written by V. Verschmelzenkörper.
00:05:51
Speaker
And the title is Lazarus tamed. that's Lazarus birth, missing body parts. I will turn back to the group.
00:06:06
Speaker
And I will say, maybe we try to be quiet at this point. I revealed to you and I'm going to pull that book and I'm going to and i'm going to assume the book is a... Assuming the book might be like a release. I'm going to try and do it slowly and keeping pressure on the bookcase to see how quietly I can open this.
00:06:28
Speaker
The bookshelf.
00:06:31
Speaker
one is ah on an oiled swivel so it is soft as a child's whisper as it swings open go upstairs I feel like we just jumped over this part of the house but I think I'm cool with it I'm cool with it cool I'm good I'm good my gosh
00:06:59
Speaker
Maybe, maybe should go first this time? Yeah, think you should. You have the spidey senses on, apparently. I'll take second, because the shield. That's good idea, but um stay behind me. Now, you gotta be quiet, Nick. You can't be too loud. Rob, are you taking up the rear? Yeah. I am to be quiet. I am like, you know how you would like as a kid run up the stairs using your hands and legs?
00:07:22
Speaker
Yeah. That's how I'm moving up these stairs to keep weight even. Crawling. I roll my eyes and I don't do that. I walk like a normal person with my crossbow ready to shoot at something. My shield is ready.
00:07:34
Speaker
Oh no... Okay.
Battle Against the Monster
00:07:37
Speaker
Yes! So, you arrive on the top floor in the laboratory. Quietly and stealthily, we might add.
00:07:51
Speaker
Mm-hmm. climb the winding staircase and reach the laboratory. The skylight stands open, rain and wind howls above as the room crackles with electricity from several large machines drumming with power.
00:08:14
Speaker
The smell of decay is strong as you see bodies of what must be previous projects littering the floor.
00:08:27
Speaker
at the center of the room. I'm scared. I'm excited. What are you talking about? This is going to be great.
00:08:40
Speaker
We got this, Kylie. So... The man who is at the center of these crackling controls is a man in his 50s with a wild shock of white hair sprouting out around goggles that completely mask his eyes he shouts, NOOOOOO!
00:09:02
Speaker
no
00:09:06
Speaker
and lightning crackles from the sky, needling down the lightning rod atop the tower, and power, bridled and contained by madness and effort, courses along the ground through these devices to a...
00:09:29
Speaker
We'll call it a bed, slab, slab as a figure, even from here you can tell is twice your size, sits up atop the slab and he shouts, yes, it's alive, it's alive!
00:09:51
Speaker
They called me mad, who will have the last laugh But Vincent Reschmelt's a copper!
00:10:04
Speaker
Oh no! And on the northern side of the machines, a lumpy, misshapen man lumbers across the floor wearing this loose tunic that covers any number of bumps and lumps that are where they ought not be.
00:10:24
Speaker
And he says, Master... We have an audience!
00:10:36
Speaker
And the doctor turns to you, and lightning crackles, reflecting off of his completely reflective goggles, as he says, Your timing is perfection!
00:10:53
Speaker
Creature kills him! Can we please from the lot of you have new rounds of initiative?
00:11:05
Speaker
Huzzah.
00:11:09
Speaker
um My initiative is, oh my gosh, plus four. So six total. Okay. Nick because of the exhaustion. I a beautiful um' someone roll I rolled a 16.
00:11:27
Speaker
Alright, fellas, as we're lined up in here, how I look at each of you. It's been an honor and a pleasure fighting with you. i hope that we all make it out. I think we will. We faced much worse, and we faced betrayal, and we faced distraught natures today, but...
00:11:49
Speaker
We will prevail. There's only three of them and four of us. Why would you say things like that? Why would you say things like that? Robert, what was your initiative?
00:12:02
Speaker
It is a 16? 16. Okay. That's everybody. Okay. Agent Chandler, you look out across the rain-stained floor ah as these as the doctor points at the group of you and shouts, kill them, as the creature lumbers to his feet and screams. What are you doing, Chandler?
00:12:30
Speaker
Just to make sure and clarify, this thing is no longer connected to any of the machines? No, it is not. Well, I think the only thing I can do is lay down lay down the law.
00:12:43
Speaker
And I'm going to run it. he's the Hey, listen, he's the closest. He's right there. Igor? i got keep Yeah, I got to keep the path clear, so I'm going to run up to Igor. I'm assuming that's within 45 feet. Let's take a looky-loo. can measure it. It's just 45 feet. How do you like them apples?
00:13:02
Speaker
I like them apples a lot. I'm going to rush in and I'm going to... Sorry, have to do this, man, but you were about to try and kill us. And I'm going all fists take some s swings.
00:13:17
Speaker
I love it. No flurry of blows, just three unarmed strikes. All right, you got this. Ooh. That's a nine. Let's see it. That's a 19.
00:13:29
Speaker
You have two attacks per action, not three, sir. I get a bonus action. Oh, fun. On arm strike and 26. am i so what Have we gotten upstairs in a minute? Or we probably came up the stairs pretty slow.
00:13:43
Speaker
so You said you wanted to take a minute to listen to the sounds around you. Okay, good point, good point. right, so the 19 and the 26
00:13:53
Speaker
Gotcha. It's a four bludgeoning and six bludgeoning for a total of 10 bludgeoning damage. You come up to, uh, what is clearly an Igor as you punch him and, uh, sock him twice. And he's, Oh, Oh, Oh, you studied, haven't you?
00:14:17
Speaker
Um, are you doing anything else with your turn? That is all I can do. ah Full action and bonus action. Alright, 20 mark.
00:14:30
Speaker
care Thank you for your patience.
00:14:35
Speaker
e So this machine here is going to crackle with electricity and lances a line of power at ah Agent Chandler.
Power Struggle in the Lab
00:14:54
Speaker
knew it. Can you please give us a Constitution saving throw?
00:15:05
Speaker
Nick you and I are screwed. I was gonna be excited for the dexterity saving throw. I'll have find the source of power somewhere. that is That would be the rain and the thunderstorm ahead.
00:15:16
Speaker
Above. Okay. All right, that is a 12. You have change the weather, Kylie. Let say 12. As 41 points lightning lance through you, and your wounds open afresh, and blood, like you spit blood onto Igor, and he just wipes it and says, don't worry, we have a fix for that.
00:15:45
Speaker
Okay, that was the lair action. Uh, the good doctor is going to, uh, KILL THEM! for a bonus action.
00:15:57
Speaker
And both of his, uh, servants nod. Igor doesn't have to move at all, because you're right here, so thank you for that. Um, he is going to have advantage on these attacks, courtesy of the encouragement from his master. As he... Okay, fun.
00:16:15
Speaker
Um... So you feel a jab as he tries to stick you with acut with a needle.
00:16:28
Speaker
And it's like, why on earth would he stab you in the heart? Oh no. Can you please give us a constitution saving throw? Oh, no. That's another 12.
00:16:39
Speaker
You are paralyzed from the acupuncture as you take six points of piercing damage and just six. And he looks at you and says, Reft easy. We don't let anything go to waste here. As he just slips a hand into a pouch and like, here you go!
00:16:55
Speaker
And throws a file across the ground. So... so Uh, Kylie, you and Robert, who are fortunate enough to be standing side by side, can the two of you please give us a dexterity saving throw? can.
00:17:18
Speaker
And Robert as well. 16. Beautiful. My dex is a plus 8 for saving throws. Great. So, that's good. 16 plus 8, so Great, you both only take nine points of lightning damage as a glass shatters on the front at your feet between you and crackles battle as he just. The monster is going to go next. Okay, so he is gonna use half of his movement to get to his feet, because we mentioned he is on the slab.
00:17:53
Speaker
And he is going to lumber 5, 10, 15 feet. And, like, the floorboards creak under his mass as he just... And that's as close as he can get this round because he used half of his movement to get closer. Okay. The monster has moved as close as he can as the good doctor...
00:18:14
Speaker
looks at the group of you. He brings up a rifle that is crackling with electricity and says, you fools, you're too late, you're much too late!
00:18:27
Speaker
Zap, zap, zap, zap, zap. um And he is going to try and shoot at Robert, who is just all the way down at the south. do do dude did dude doop dude Robert, can you please give me another dexterity save?
00:18:40
Speaker
Okay, so you take 24 points of lightning damage from the cannon that just erupted in sparks at his side. Oh my gosh.
00:18:57
Speaker
Okay, and that is them. Agent Nick, you are exhausted, but you are up, sir. What you doing? Okay. So I know you said that the power source the lightning and the rain and everything, but it has to travel through something in order to get some machinery.
00:19:13
Speaker
um I would like to do a bonus action of investigation to see if there's any wires or anything that I can cut to stop the electricity from flowing.
00:19:28
Speaker
Okay. Give me an investigation check. Come on. No! No! The cables look like a rat's nest of wires. They go everywhere.
00:19:42
Speaker
you are You are unable to discern where to make a strike. What should you... Okay. All right, all right.
00:19:52
Speaker
But I was able to see where the cables are, right? Is it just this one long cable I see running to this machine that I'm able to see to cut? there are There is one wide cable on the floor.
00:20:03
Speaker
More cables run up the wall and cables drape, droop from the ceiling to this central hub in the middle of the room. Okay. So then... But you've got a three, sir. You rolled a four. play yes, yes, yes, yes. Sorry.
00:20:21
Speaker
So, I can't really discern anything else beyond that.
00:20:26
Speaker
Okay. Rob... I'm gonna need you for
Intense Combat with Igor
00:20:30
Speaker
the offensive. I'm gonna try a hit try and see if I can cut as much power as I can. I'm gonna head in the direction of the good doctor.
00:20:41
Speaker
Okay. and I'm assuming that's more than 30 feet, right? So I don't quite reach him. I didn't really check yet. He is 65 feet away. Okay, so I can get about halfway.
00:20:54
Speaker
Be careful.
00:20:57
Speaker
I know I know, but i don't have much else. I don't have any range attacks, so I'll position myself right about here to be halfway.
00:21:09
Speaker
So, OK, this would be. Yeah, one square back would be good. Beautiful. Hey. All right. And I got no other range. I got no range weapons.
00:21:24
Speaker
OK, so I guess that's my turn. Okay, at the end of our turn, um Igor sees you ah racing across the floor, and he says, where do you think you're going? why And he throws a vial in your direction.
00:21:46
Speaker
Can you please make a strength saving throw? Sure can. 17 is that good that becomes a 15 and succeeds you are not restrained however um burning tar erupts from the glass that he splashes at you for four points of acid damage you are not restrained because you you succeeded in your check awesome Robert you're up in agent Kylie is after you what you doing Robert okay alright I'm going to who we'll move up then and can throw my javelin at
00:22:34
Speaker
The doctor. You absolutely can. He's just standing there. 21. 21 hits him. Six damage. Okay. He does not appreciate that at all?
00:22:45
Speaker
and in retaliation is going to hurl a vial of acid your way.
00:22:56
Speaker
That is a 13, and he misses. Okie dokie. How dare you strike at my genius! That's all I'll do this turn. Okie dokie. Igor is just tilting his head and watching like he leans past ah Agent Chandler. Kylie, what you doing?
00:23:13
Speaker
Well...
00:23:16
Speaker
I'm trying to decide if it's worth using the scroll on Agent Chandler. I... Agent Chandler, you're looking rough, my friend. I'm going to move my 30 feet and, uh... I'll just use it on you.
00:23:28
Speaker
Yeah, I'm paralyzed. I can't do much. Okay. Just for a round. I'm going to use my... Oh, he's paralyzed for round. They may just kill him. Um... Crossbow. Um... I... Use my crossbow. You just kill him.
00:23:44
Speaker
Okay. I have some choices. Okay, I'm going to shoot two crossbows at Igor, since CB is prone.
00:23:55
Speaker
so i have a full thing. He is not prone, he is paralyzed on his feet. Paralyzed on his feet. Okay, so I need to shoot around him, so I gotta do a good job. He has partial cover from here, so that's gonna add two to his AC.
00:24:07
Speaker
Don't worry, I'm standing completely still. That's a 7 plus 8, so that's a 15. I have a plus 8 in my hand. That is a miss by 1. Can you please reroll as a friendly fire? And that's less.
00:24:22
Speaker
So I waste 2 crossbow. What was the second roll? Plus 8, so 14. 14, okay. So you miss Agent Chandler as well. It just falls wide. Okay.
00:24:35
Speaker
We gotta check. if We do gotta check. I'll do another. 17 plus 8. That's way better. That's 25. That definitely hits Igor. That's a 1d6 plus 4. 5 plus 4, that's 9.
00:24:49
Speaker
I also have Colossal Strike, so I'm gonna add a d8 to that. So, 9 plus 1. one So, 10 damage to Igor.
00:25:02
Speaker
And let's see if I can do anything. Ha-ha-ha. I don't think I can. I can do some divinity stuff, but I'm not gonna do it yet. That's it for me.
00:25:13
Speaker
I'm just, as a character, just marveled at the absolute colossal clusterfuck we have made as we have made it up to here.
00:25:24
Speaker
Yeah, I really should have maybe used the scroll of lightning, huh, guys? That's gonna be my final words if I die from this. okay Yeah, that lighting would have been helpful. With the exception of Agent Nick.
00:25:39
Speaker
huh With the exception of Agent Nick. Okay.
00:25:47
Speaker
okay Can we have from the, from, well, unfortunately, Chandler, this is an automatic fail for you because you are paralyzed.
00:25:59
Speaker
um Can we have, please, dexterity saves from Kylie and Robert as they are the ones that are in range of 30 feet.
00:26:11
Speaker
Does it help if I say that I wore rubber-soled shoes? That's a dirty 20. Outstanding. got 10. Okay. Okay, so Kylie's gonna take half of this. Igor, you handsome son of a so-and-so.
00:26:28
Speaker
sha we're all yeah maybe not die maybe we'll die maybe we'll see each other in the app cons save. cons save come on eager you got constitution what yeah I apologize the the eruption a dexterity I apologize this is a constitutional grave okay so that only a 14 and I need to know it again cause I have this advantage yeah 25 Okay, Robert succeeds, Kylie does not, uh, Igor, let's check you for con, I believe in you. i
00:27:03
Speaker
should I be able to make a con save for paralyzed? Yes, so it's not a dex save, you can make a con save. Okay. I might fail it anyway, because my con is not great.
00:27:14
Speaker
oh Yeah. Yikes. Hey, we're just going to say I auto-failed that one, that was a nat one. but We've just about done every wrong thing we could have done. Okay.
00:27:26
Speaker
Agent Chandler, unfortunately, you are down. Igor loses 29. Kylie, you are still up, but hurting and bleeding.
00:27:41
Speaker
o And Robert, you rolled a 25, so you only take half. 29 halved is 14. Putting you there.
00:27:53
Speaker
as you likewise are bloodied. Igor ah like, Naughty Master Naughty, as he shakes it off ah and looks down at ah ah Chandler, who lies there. He's about to grab you by your feet and says, Don't go anywhere.
00:28:16
Speaker
as he is going to step over you 10 15 20 get right up close with all y'all okay so uh actually i tell a lie he only needs to get that close yeah that'll get again we are missing nick by the skin of his teeth okay uh robert and kylie as this guy gets closer can the two of you please give me um a dexterity save Absolutely.
00:28:47
Speaker
dex save is a plus eight. 25 again. nine So I only get a 17 this time. Okay. Fortunately, that's enough for both as like he just shifts his shirt around a little bit. The tunic as extra hands come out and but
00:29:06
Speaker
um You take 14 instead of the 28 points of bludgeoning damage as he slaps you silly. Holy cow. Oh my gosh.
00:29:18
Speaker
twenty So I have a total of 27. Yes. yes Uh, doctor looks at you all and says, you will regret, you will regret trespassing on the house of
Facing Setbacks in Battle
00:29:33
Speaker
Dr. Verschmelzenkörper.
00:29:36
Speaker
Um, he is going to throw another vial, uh, this time at Nick. Uh, see if he hits. He does not, I believe, no. He misses and it just bounces off your shield, shattering to the ground.
00:29:53
Speaker
he throws Kylie oh no he throws a cleaver at your head and it whistles past your head as he's like for damn as last but not least Robert he is going to fire his electro cannon at you can you please give us a fresh dex saving throw hopefully another 25 17 okay seventeen okay i Sadly, this one is not quite enough as he zaps the living hell out of you to the tune of 24 points of lightning damage as the monster 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 gets closer still.
00:30:39
Speaker
twenty five thirty gets closer still and is still unable to actually catch you guys because he has he's only got the 30 feet of movement.
00:30:50
Speaker
Nick, you're up. Robert is after you. What are you guys doing? Oh, my gosh. right. Robin, I know you're weak.
00:30:56
Speaker
I'm going to go for the doctor. if you want to be within five feet of me, other attacks will, you know, have disadvantage. But just try and stay. Everyone try and stay at least 30 feet away from that machine on the side there.
00:31:08
Speaker
oh I'm going to go and run up to the doctor. Mm-hmm. And then I'm going to shove him. Okay. oh Kind of, I guess, like, ramp him in or ram into him with my shield.
00:31:23
Speaker
I love it. Would be the way to picture it.
00:31:27
Speaker
So that's just a strength check? Mm-hmm. All right. See it. So you're running up to ram him. You hit, and he fails. You push him back 10 feet. pickook There we go. All right.
00:31:42
Speaker
As you do so, he shouts and says, my genius will not be accosted. Yes, it will. Today is the day it ends, Doctor. I will come up close to him again.
00:31:57
Speaker
And I will grapple him. I love it. Give me a physical attack. An unarmed strike. All right. Unarmed strike, here we go. That becomes a dirty 20 with the exhaustion.
00:32:11
Speaker
You grab hold of him. He is grappled.
00:32:15
Speaker
While he's grappled, can of do an unarmed strike on him for my last move? Okay, unarmed strike on him. That is an 18. That is going to hit. Alright, so that's my turn.
00:32:26
Speaker
Okay, what's the damage on your unarmed strike? 5 bludgeoning. Thank you. marty room That is Agent Nick at the end of your turn. Igor stands there looking pretty.
00:32:40
Speaker
Robert, you are up and Agent Kylie is after you. What's Robert doing? I'm going to move right behind Agent Nick. I'm going to cast Command at a third level.
00:32:50
Speaker
On who? ah I suppose on Igor. I can cast it on... three targets though because it's a third level. I got two additional targets as a third level spell slot. Okay.
00:33:03
Speaker
I'm going to command halt then. It's a wisdom save of 16. Okay. On all three of them. Alright, the golem is rolling at advantage and fails.
00:33:15
Speaker
Okay, yeah, you you bring him to an absolute halt. Let's see, Igor. Fails, but is going to burn a legendary resistance.
00:33:26
Speaker
And the good doctor passes. As he shouts in your face, who are you to give commands in my laboratory?
00:33:36
Speaker
And then as a bonus action, will cast Sanctuary on Agent Nick. Which, if I remember correctly, means no one can target him specifically without breaking a wisdom save. Yeah, okay. Yeah, wisdom save. Cool.
00:33:52
Speaker
Kylie, you are up. And, well, Chandler, you've got death saves to make. What is Kylie doing? Okay. First, I'm going to back up. So I'm a little bit out of the range of the lightning.
00:34:06
Speaker
um I'm going to... Let's see. I'm going to double check my distance real quick. Yoink. um I'm going to flash my holy symbol and channel divinity to seer undead at the monster.
00:34:25
Speaker
so he's going need to make a saving constitution saving throw. And... is This is a spell against him. He is going to roll at advantage. Wisdom save? No, constitution save.
00:34:39
Speaker
um And I'm channeling divinity. That was 12. So, meets beats, that sucks. If we're all going out with a bang here, then I am going to use two more. I'm going to at least use an arrow from my crossbow again. um Let's see. I'm going to a crossbow. Let's see if that's effective.
00:35:05
Speaker
With a plus eight, it's 16. Does that hit the monster? The monster with an 18. Yes, it hits. He is a big one. So that's four plus four. That's eight damage plus a 1d8. So that's an additional four damage.
00:35:20
Speaker
So that's a total of 12 damage on the monster for my first action. And then my second action, because this is not going super good for any of us. um I'm going to Guiding Bolt.
00:35:36
Speaker
That's a 13 4, 17. that's a thirteen plus four seventeen and that hits right? 17 hits, yes. Okay, that's 5d6 damage, so that's 15 damage on the monster.
00:35:47
Speaker
What kind of damage? A radiance. Beautiful. Okay. What did the monster roll on that wisdom save? 10. What is the DC? Was 16, Robert, on your command of halt? Yeah, it's a 16. Gotcha. Okay.
00:36:04
Speaker
Bully. Chandler, can you please give us a death saving throw? Chandler. It's like 2am over there and Candler's just dying. Rolled a 10. That's a success. That is a success. Yeah There we go, CB!
00:36:20
Speaker
I'm holding in there.
00:36:23
Speaker
Just been out of all these fights. Okay. It's own fault.
The Aftermath and Reflection
00:36:31
Speaker
At the top of the lair action. There we go. Okay. rob What's up? Robert you're about and Nick and the doctor.
00:36:45
Speaker
Can the three of us please make a constitution saving throw? And I think Nick's is at disadvantage because I gave him pastries. Yes. Yes. It's okay though. I would like to use my Indomitable. I can reroll a saving throw that you fail.
00:37:04
Speaker
okay But i have to use the new roll. Actually, gonna use my Inspiration as well and reroll this. Perfect. There we go. 23. And my previous one was 25, so with disadvantage it's 23. Or I guess 21, right? Yes.
00:37:21
Speaker
yes Alright, so Robert meets and beats, so this damage is halved. Yeah. Okay. Jeez. Robert, this is a significant amount of damage. 33 becomes 15. It is only five times what you have left.
00:37:41
Speaker
Lovely. Okay, can you also please, on your next turn, give us a death save? As Agent Nick, you also take 15, becoming 43. Okay, so the monster is halted like a good boy.
00:37:57
Speaker
um And despite the fact that you are down, I'm not going to say that the spell is negated. He is still going to obey with the thingy. um As Igor is going to come 5, 10, 15, 20 and say, get your hands off the master as he is going. Well, Sanctuary still active because it's not a concentration spell.
00:38:22
Speaker
And it lasts for a minute, it says. He's got to make a wisdom save. Yeah, 16. Which he fails. Okay.
00:38:32
Speaker
Thank you, Robert. I knew it was gonna help. So does he take damage when he tries to attack this person, Sanctuary?
00:38:42
Speaker
It says on a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell. Gotcha. Okay. If the water creature makes an attack, casts a spell that affects an enemy or deals damage to another creature, the spell ends. Okay.
00:38:54
Speaker
In that case, he sees him, curses that he cannot attack him, and is instead going to attack Agent Kylie. Mm-mm. Mm-hmm. Can you please give us a dexterity saving? Of course.
00:39:12
Speaker
And my dex save is plus eight. That sucks. That was a three. Plus eight is 11. So you take points of lightning damage.
00:39:29
Speaker
oh I really should have used that scroll sooner. And you said it was an 11? Okay, so you are stunned until the start of Igor's next turn. um He sees you standing there stunned and says, i don't think I quite care for you. And is going, as you are stunned, um I am afraid that it's going to be a fail on the dex save that follows. He throws acid at your feet, which kills you.
00:40:00
Speaker
um You are restrained in burning tar as you collapse and the tar coats to you. The gong peels overhead as we have three of our characters currently snuffed out.
00:40:19
Speaker
Oh no. Nick. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. As nick with three of you down for the count and ironically Nick still being on his feet, um Pile Vox materializes overhead as the ceiling turns transparent and says, look at the time.
00:40:40
Speaker
Oh my, oh, oh dear. Well, if there's any good news to be had, you're in the right place. Don't worry. We here at the Sladium recycle.
00:40:52
Speaker
Nick, you and you alone will be returning to the barracks while your three friends who came to save you are not so fortunate.
00:41:05
Speaker
What is going through Nick as you no longer are being eaten by a plant? return to the barracks alone man okay i am just i'm riddled with guilt at the inability to to save my friends and to know that they've traveled all this way to to save me and now to now know that they're dead or dying and i as i sit there in the barracks
00:41:40
Speaker
knowing that another battle awaits me. i I have to make it my new life's mission to find a way to bring them back, if at all possible.
00:41:53
Speaker
I mean, it's entirely possible you see them again, but in what order of pieces we'll have to wait for another day in the Sladium games?
00:42:06
Speaker
This has been Narrative Feats. I want to thank our dear departed friends of Survive This Crit who did not succeed in their efforts to overcome the malignant mansion.
00:42:23
Speaker
And in a delicious serving of irony, all three of the people that came to rescue the fourth themselves would wind up being unable to be saved.
00:42:35
Speaker
I have been Casey, your dungeon maestro. It has been a genuine pleasure running today for you in the Sladium Games. Thank you so much and have a wonderful night. All right, everyone. Well,
00:42:50
Speaker
we We have wrapped things up here by running out of time and three of our four party members dead. So it is official against Frankenstein. We did not survive this crit. We will have to wait until another day to see if if we can somehow bring back our friends in a continuation of the story.
00:43:11
Speaker
Who knows what will happen? Thank you everyone for tuning in. Most importantly, thank you to our dungeon maestro, Pacey, for leading this brilliant game. As blood has been shed, i thank you to our amazing agents, Agent CB and Agent Rob. This will not be the last that you hear or see of them. You know, DEAD is known for their cloning.
