Introduction to Episode 21: 'Tigers and Tigers and Tigers'
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey everyone, this is Cam, the GM for Live from Dice Trail. You are currently listening to episode 21 of our Soul Frost campaign. Tigers and Tigers and Tigers, oh my. Thank you so much for tuning in, we hope you enjoy.
Fishing Fiasco and the Oskfish Attack
00:00:17
Speaker
A heart without a soul on cannot beat.
00:00:24
Speaker
A heart that cannot beat turns to ice.
00:00:33
Speaker
The ice hides what once was until the soul to awaken what
00:01:03
Speaker
So last time on on Snowy Land, Snowy Land, pickle day. you What did you call me? We went fishing.
00:01:19
Speaker
We went fishing and then some of us got knocked into the water and we ended up fighting these giant fish. giant fish and then I was I was this close I was this close I was so goddamn close to killing one of the fish and then it swam away like a little bitch fuck the fish it swim away fuck exactly that is that is exactly what I said verbatim tone tone and everything tone voice and everything it is best Duke Nukem impression
00:02:00
Speaker
Power armor is for pussies.
Sabertooth Provocation and Chaos
00:02:03
Speaker
But I think it's somewhat important to note why you got attacked by the oskfish.
00:02:11
Speaker
Does anyone remember what? In those saber tooth people create a whole thing, they were doing a thing, they threw a line of meat and turned into a chalk smiras. What looked like half a deer carcass somehow ended up over 10,000 feet from the shore of the lake next to you.
00:02:31
Speaker
Didn't realize it was 10,000 feet. Yeah, it's like 10,000 feet from where you were to the edge of the lake where you saw the saber tube. They had a good arm. Yeah, with like half a deer carcass. So that sent the yask into a feeding frenzy, damaging ah both the boats, one of them pretty heavily. um And so you have, after driving away the yask, you have gotten all of, all of you have gotten to shore and upon arriving at shore,
00:03:00
Speaker
you have uh you you did a little you did some brief uh reconnaissance of the area um and found footprints as it's not currently snowing out so you found some footprints in the snow um which you believe are the saber tooth themselves but you also saw a number of larger wider footprints that looked like boot prints um as well as it looked like something being dragged through the snow
00:03:32
Speaker
up to the north was there any kind of blood um yeah since there was like a whole carcass that was yeah like the deer blood or anything yeah yes you actually uh morgram as you look around you do find ah you definitely do find some blood around you actually find what looks like a
00:03:56
Speaker
Looks like definitely remnants of a deer that has been sort of field dressed.
Clues and Confusion: Blood Trails and Footprints
00:04:03
Speaker
So it looks like they've taken the meat, they've taken the skin, they've taken pretty much everything they would want, quickly butchered it um and left behind lot blood on the snow and other pieces that they couldn't use.
00:04:23
Speaker
Crazy.
00:04:30
Speaker
Well, uh, I guess we, we track the blood. So, all right. Yeah. You, you briefly follow. There is a small trail of blood. Um, you briefly follow it and it, it ends at around the point where the dragging starts.
00:04:53
Speaker
Interesting. And is there any anything else around?
00:05:00
Speaker
Nothing you can tell. For the most part, it looks, or well, thicket doesn't look, but you know, to those of you with eyes, it looks like there's just the footprints, which you definitely think you could follow. um Thicket, you just sort of smelled blood trail ending. Well, that's it for the blood.
00:05:26
Speaker
And at this point you're still pretty much like you could go over a snow bank and see the boats. So you're still pretty close to the boats. Gotcha. How far is our visibility? Um, pretty far actually. Like you can basically see you to the horizon line and know you don't see them right now. However, there are quite a few large snow banks around. So for all you know, they could be hiding behind a snow bank.
Wyatt's Rant and the Racism vs. Personism Debate
00:05:56
Speaker
They're under the snow, aren't they? Opinions on me yelling out to our would be manslaughter. I will also know that at this point. Yeah. Wyatt is still yelling about how much he hates furries. It's not. No, no, no. He doesn't say you're not furry. He's just he's just basically trying to create a genetic bloodline. Right. Furry. He has nothing. He has nothing against furries. All right. IRL furries. He's got everything against these specific specific furries.
00:06:25
Speaker
That's worse actually, I think in this case. So more to be fair they always got us killed well specific race to the Like the five people who tried to kill us, you know I think is that racism or is that just personism? Well, I think if you're going after their whole bloodline then well i thought yeah you're head of bad and You're making it worse. I see i think Wyatt rolled bad enough that he went there. You know, he got, he went to cancel. He did roll He rolled bad enough. He rolled bad enough that he went there. You know, this is actually why Wyatt's not allowed back on the city of ships.
Preparations and Snowy Ambush
00:07:02
Speaker
yeah true um Okay. Bastion is going to yell out to the, to the snowy abyss. Hello? Anyone out there?
00:07:15
Speaker
You get no reply. Just the tundra breeze blowing through your ears. I just know if we start walking into the snowbank area, we're gonna get jumped. So I'm gonna chill here and spend a resolve point and then maybe try and fix the boat. Okay. So, as you... what As Bastion sets down to rest, what are the rest of you doing?
00:07:45
Speaker
well i'm gonna keep watch okay more room keeps watch in the direction that the footprints went especially but all right okay is anyone still with the boats yeah i think i'm still i think i'm still why it's also by the boats okay so you're all sitting by the boats it seems unless somebody pretty much yeah okay and we are we are yeah Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. All right. So Morgan's keeping watch. Bastion is resting. Thub, what are you doing?
00:08:29
Speaker
Well, I would say rest, but I'm just going to mope about how I lost the fish. That checks out for you. Real? Yeah. That's on brand. Wyatt, what are you doing? I'm just...
00:08:44
Speaker
It's it would hurt because he's going to try to heal if it's hurt, but not that. Bastion currently is injured. Yes. OK, I think Bastion is the only one who really got you're going to hit Bastion. All right. Roll to hit. Yeah. OK. It was a deal in the face. Yeah, I think Bastion is the only one who really got injured there. Oh, I'll just. Oh, I have tree woods. OK.
00:09:14
Speaker
tree wounds action okay so you how much how much hate points are are they missing bastion is currently lightly wounded not quite bloody dude okay normal normal normal tree woods man i haven't been able to tree wounds so long i feel okay so i've used one action or two actions three wounds Oh, tree wounds, sorry. Yeah, go ahead and roll medicine. Sorry, I had a rain fart. Infinite, infinite. How long is it? It's a one minute activity or? 10 minute activity. 10 minute activity, 19. Okay, so you start working on treating Bastion's wounds. And as you're working on that, Morgrim, you see the snow start to move.
Battle with Sabertooth Tigers: The Beginning
00:10:08
Speaker
Not too far in the distance.
00:10:12
Speaker
There's some like what kind of snow like the wind is blowing or like something's coming up out of the ground ah Like as you as you go to alert your allies ah As you go to alert your allies um Two massive saber-toothed tigers with saber-toothed hunters on their backs leap from within snow banks. Well, there and there it is. So ah um as Morgrem was the only one keeping watch, all of you other than Morgrem are off guard for this first round. Oh, no, bro. Oh, no, bro.
00:10:54
Speaker
My short-lived guys didn't give them any warning. Um, not really. You didn't roll well enough from that, unfortunately. I'll take it. Everyone go ahead and roll initiative. Don't have to tell me. Okay.
00:11:15
Speaker
Are we rolling now? Yeah. Oh boy. I love initiative.
00:11:26
Speaker
Someone should. I'm gonna change all of their initiatives. Gotta roll their initiative for those bastards. Gotta change all of their initiative to stealth. Which is gonna take me a second. Question mark, oh shit. What do you mean question mark? The dice on the the dice on the screen, they oh andrew there's just a bunch of question marks. Oh yeah, that's because I'm doing a secret roll.
00:11:51
Speaker
are I got genuinely scared of about that. I was like, what are you talking about? Question mark. There's not anything like what, what? um But anyways, yes, here we are at the top of round one. Thicket, you're up first. Okay. You'll start with a two action act together where Cranberry's action is going to be to stride. And because Cranberry is striding thick, it also gets the stride. Mm. Love that. We got the tandem movement. Mm hmm. Oh, check 25.
00:12:42
Speaker
Oh. He's going to go up there.
00:12:52
Speaker
Thicket is going to go. Over here, out of the way.
00:13:00
Speaker
ah And then the two action action that I'm taking for Thicket. Is he's going to cast a haste on primary haste. Hell, yeah. All right. And that makes him quickened, correct?
00:13:19
Speaker
That is awesome. All right, so that basically means... Okay, so Cranberry gets an extra action each round that can be used only for a stride or a strike. Okay,
Strategic Combat and Elemental Attacks
00:13:34
Speaker
and I me double check quickened. Start of each round. So that does not apply until the start of the next round.
00:13:49
Speaker
Okay. um But I do still have one action remaining. Yes. Which Cranberry is going to use the stride again. And then Pickett. Wait, hold on. Where did that extra action come from? Oh, right. Sorry. I forgot how i it was an act together. Yeah. Forgot how act together works. OK, so Cranberry doesn't know their stride. ye And then Pickett is going to stay where he is. OK. That brings us now to one of the Tigers, um which is going to
00:14:21
Speaker
right It is going to attempt to pounce on Cranberry. yeah um So it strides and makes a strike at the end of the movement. um So it's going to lash out with a claw. That is a 23 to hit Cranberry. Let me double check that. Oh yeah, he's off guard. Yeah, that hits. Okay, so in that case, let me get the correct die out.
00:14:50
Speaker
that is going to be nine points of slashing damage. That's fine. um And then as second action, um the tiger is going to attempt to bite Cranberry. That is a 21 to hit. That also hits. Okay. um So in that case, Cranberry is going to take eight points of piercing damage and the tiger is going to attempt to grapple.
00:15:31
Speaker
um Cranberry. So that is going to be a dirty 20. against cranberry's fortitude dc that fails okay so it fails to grab and that is the end of its turn uh that brings us now to the other tiger uh who is going to let me double check this there we go okay um
00:16:05
Speaker
Oh, whoops, sorry, I forgot, Cranberry's off guard. So from both of those attacks, Cranberry takes ah total of an additional total of two points of of precision damage. Gotcha. um is This is fine.
00:16:20
Speaker
forgot about that um Anyways, the other Tiger is now going to also Stride and attempt or is yeah is also going to attempt to pounce on cranberry There we go um So that is going to be a jaws attack this time um as it just runs over and just, you watch as this thing opens its jaws a solid 125 degrees and just tries to sink its teeth into Cranberry's side. um see That is going to be a 29 to hit.
00:17:02
Speaker
I like using hero point. Okay. That is going to instead be a 19 to hit. That succeeds. Okay, so Cranberry is going to take nine points of piercing damage, plus five points of precision damage, plus the tiger is going to attempt to grab him. That is going to be a 15 against his 42 DC. That fails. Okay, and then it has one action remaining, which it is going to use to slash with a claw.
00:17:40
Speaker
That is a 22 to hit. Okay. So Cranberry takes 14 points of slashing plus three points of precision. So 14 minus six is eight. I think you said an initial three points of precision. Yes. All right. I got a plan, Arthur.
00:18:09
Speaker
That is the end of that Tiger's turn. That brings us now to Bastion. Cool. So I would like to use my alchemical crossbow, but because we haven't used it before, I don't know what the actions,
00:18:23
Speaker
the number of actions to get it loaded with the Dread AM fuel and shot. You take an action to load a single lesser alchemical bomb into the bracket. OK.
00:18:39
Speaker
needs to deal energy damage. So I believe a Dread Ampule wouldn't work because Dread Ampules deal mental damage and that is not energy. Okay, in that case I will use, can I use an Alchemist Fire then? Yes. Okay, let's use an Alchemist Fire. All right, so one action to load the Alchemist Fire in, one action to take the crossbow out, so you have one action remaining. And the next three attacks deal 1d6 damage of the bomb's type.
00:19:08
Speaker
Okay, that's good to know. Now I would like to try and shoot the tiger closest to me. Okay, go ahead and roll the hit. Come on, please.
00:19:34
Speaker
No ammunition is assigned to the...
00:19:38
Speaker
um just gonna just roll just roll and just yeah just roll it's doing a bunch of things that it doesn't need to okay that's a 14 14 okay against the tiger you said yes that is unfortunately not a hit shocked and appalled okay that's all of my actions okay actually make sure to subtract the uh bomb from your inventory Yes. um Did I actually get healed when I... No. No. Okay. Yeah, no. You didn't... Wyatt barely had time to get his tools out. Okay. It was as if um it was as if the ah the raiders here were waiting for you to be, like, not paying attention to them.
00:20:24
Speaker
Seems on brand. All right. Take attention to them. So that brings us to the end of Bastion's turn, meaning that Bastion is no longer off guard. That brings us now to Wyatt. OK, first thing I'm going to do is ah I'm going to first enfeeble the big tiger here, so we can cast Enfeeble on them. It's a fortitude save. It's a fortitude save.
00:20:54
Speaker
Do you have to make an attack roll as part of that first? ah No, no, okay. I'm thinking of a different version of the spell. Or a different spell entirely. We're not waiting. No D&D, guys. No D&D. Okay, so fortitude save against the big, from the big tiger there. That is a 15. All right. 15, that's a fail. All right. Failure. What does that mean? It's feeble two for one minute. All right. That's really nice. That target is now in feeble two.
00:21:21
Speaker
Yes, and then I'm going to... I'm going to give Morgrim guidance with my last action. Okay, Morgrim is now guided. Yep. And that brings us to the end of your turn, so Wyatt is no longer off guard.
00:21:40
Speaker
That brings us now to the hunter on the back of the Infable Tiger, who currently has a sling out. um And let me just double check some ranges here. Okay. um He's going to send a sling bullet.
00:22:07
Speaker
ah
00:22:12
Speaker
Ah. Okay. bully Sorry. Sorry. As forgot completely that they get this free action at the start of their turns. Um, so he's going to shout out snarling at thicket in a language that you do not understand, but thicket, you can just feel this horrible growling entering your soul. Um,
00:22:35
Speaker
as a, sorry, he yells at Cranberry, not thicket, because thicket's too far away. um And you can just feel this growling entering your soul through this bond that you have with Cranberry. um So I need to roll that. That is going to be a 28 against Cranberry's Will DC. Will DC? Yes.
00:23:04
Speaker
Yeah, that's actually a crit. okay so cranberry is now frightened too as clearly whatever this this guy just said freaks cranberry the fuck out um so uh the bandit is then going to oh sorry wait thicket and cranberry already took their turn that means that they shouldn't be off guard anymore um oh hang on wait that changes things then it does so like give yourself back like
00:23:35
Speaker
I think 12 hit points.
00:23:40
Speaker
Okay. Sorry. There's a lot of, there's a lot of moving parts to this. you're all good I'm just going to add that as stamina because I don't remember how much HP I dropped and then, um, okay. No, that, that, that fear still crits then. Uh, yeah. You said they got a 28. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That fear. Uh, can you add that back on?
00:24:05
Speaker
Oh yeah, where did that go? What the hell? I removed it because it it was dropping my will. I thought that off-guard affected my will. No, off-guard only affects AC. Gotcha. um Okay. And that means that the but Cranberry actually is still off-guard because Cranberry is frightened. um Beautiful. And this band is then going to send a Sling Bullet at Thicket's Head.
00:24:33
Speaker
um So that is going to be a 16 to hit against Thicken. Okay. He's then going to take a second action to reload. And a as a final action, he's going to yell out something ah as he's sort of, you watch as he sort of reaches over and like pats the tiger's head while shouting something in its ear.
00:25:05
Speaker
and the tiger sort of perks up and listens. That is the end of his turn. That brings us to Thub.
00:25:14
Speaker
It does bring me to me. So I am going to, first of all, since my car was down, I'm assuming my elements have not been channeled. I'm assuming as much as well. I'm assuming, yeah. All right, so I will channel my elements. All right, would you like to make your free elemental blast?
00:25:36
Speaker
Are they in range? 55 feet. see
00:25:44
Speaker
mr Your fire is 60, your metal is 30. Okay, so I can do a fire elemental blast, so I will do a fire elemental blast. Single action. course Single action, of course, because I'm not adult.
00:26:04
Speaker
So go ahead and only have a mistake that I would make are you are you targeting the tiger or the hunter I'm gonna target the tiger because best case scenario, I killed the tiger and then it falls and crushes the rider's leg. So, you know, I'm going for the tiger anyways. That thing that happens. Well, I will say, didn't that happen I will say Sabretooth Tigers weigh more than a car, so. Oh no. And I should also note the ah the tiger unhinging its jaw to 125 degrees. That is a real life thing that Sabretooth Tigers could do.
00:26:37
Speaker
Are you serious? Yes, they actually, that is how they attacked things with their teeth, was they opened their jaws. I did some research for this if you couldn't tell. They would open their jaws like a huge amount and just stab into something. Weren't they one of like ah the biggest like predators against early humans? yeah They were one of the biggest predators to ever live, yeah.
00:27:00
Speaker
big part Smilodons are terrifying.
00:27:06
Speaker
What about the La Brea Tar Pits and learn more? Okay, I need to actually roll before before I get distracted. Look, you just take the two fast. Anyways, that's a 25 to hit. A 25, that does in fact hit. Go ahead and roll damage.
00:27:20
Speaker
Fantastic. Imagine if we spontaneously turn this podcast into Ice Age animal facts. That would be really funny. Did you know that a simple rat is actually responsible for the warming of the planet? Go watch Ice Age for more information. 11 points of damage. 11 points of fire damage. It was a squirrel, thank you very much, Colby. You're welcome.
00:27:43
Speaker
The tiger has taken that damage as the bolt of flame just sails into its back end and it just yowls in pain. You have two actions remaining. It's like the Tom and Jerry howl. Yes. Exactly. Yeah. So, Mr. Perez. Jesus Christ, they were... Mr. Perez, you have two actions remaining! Okay, yeah.
00:28:11
Speaker
You fucker, you did this to me! This is what happens. This is what happens when a bunch of ADHD people are in her room together. Pretty much. We're not even in a room. We're just digitally here. It's a digital room. Exactly. Oh, Jesus Christ. Anyway, I'm going to move up here and I'm going to do a single attack. That's all I have. That's really single attack.
00:28:41
Speaker
metal elemental blast stabbing or piercing rather for your information for the question are you targeting the Tigers around us the tiger once again because anything that horrific and deadly needs to be killed
00:28:57
Speaker
i am I am now grateful that they are extinct. Anyways. Jacob Riz, be like, I'm going to channel my ancestors. 28 to hit. 28 does in fact hit. That was with multiple po attack penalty too.
00:29:13
Speaker
Oh, shit, no. That was 23. 23, man. I was going to say, I don't think it's physically possible. 23, that still hits. Yeah. OK. I'm sorry. It's been a very long day for me. It's fine. I was just like, man, that math doesn't quite check out. I got to tell you about the day that I've had after this session. But first one was a five. Second one was a seven. What is that? 12.
00:29:41
Speaker
12 points of piercing damage. All right. Lovely, lovely. And that is the end of your turn. That brings us now to the end of Thub's turn. So Thub is no longer off guard. That brings us now to Morgrem, who still had her channel elements up, I'll say, because she was keeping watch. um So Morgrem, three actions.
00:30:01
Speaker
Oh, I'm going to play my card so I can be quick and move so I can move. All right. Somebody using a hero point for once. Oh, I never get cards. I know. I know it's great. I love it. I love it. I'm so glad. Oh, all right. My card is actually really good. Well, can't use that anymore. All right.
00:30:24
Speaker
at my i My cone. It's supposed to be 30. These things never worked for me. yeah I'm trying to do a 30 foot cone and it just went off the map. and Now I can't do it. So I'm assuming you're pointing it at all of the enemies here. Yes. i've tried to I just wanted to make sure I got enemies in Cranberg. All of the enemies and Cranberg. No, not I can't angle.
00:30:49
Speaker
um No matter how you swing it, if you want to get the tiger, then you've got to hit cranberry. It's OK. I'm not going to hit cranberry. It's kind of a direct line of sight. I thought you could twist it anywhere in the box. The way I had it a little while ago, it worked, but I might have moved wrong. It was not working super well. So we'll just say I'll do a flying plane and that should hit.
00:31:15
Speaker
bad guys and not okay um and that that will hit all targets in a certain distance yeah so five 30 feet oh my gosh i still have this stupid coming up help me i'm having overtime okay so it's 30 feet 30 feet any direction i want it to move uh yeah you can get all of them okay and they'll need to make reflex saves yes okay we'll start with the tiger directly in front of you who gets a 25 the rider gets a 20 or not a 20 uh an 18 that's a fail it's full damage okay um oh i just oh and they have weakness to your fire impulses because uh
00:32:07
Speaker
or a junction um now let's go to the other let's go to the other tiger who gets a 16 and the other rider who gets a 21 oh that's a fail too okay so that i believe means that the only one who succeeded was the tiger directly in front of you yeah the first one you did but so that's six damage and then everyone else gets twelve one in front of you everyone else takes one oh right weakness how much is the weakness uh equal to half your level wait my thermal nimbus wasn't up i forgot because i think you said it into at combat i had but this isn't thermal nimbus this is your aura this is just this is something that happens from them being in your aura they now have weakness equal to half your level
00:32:53
Speaker
to ah to your fire impulses.
Fire Abilities and Gaining Advantage
00:32:56
Speaker
So that means that it takes an additional two points of damage. um So that means that now the tiger directly in front of Morgrim is bloodied. ah The hunter there takes a total of 14, including weakness. ah Then we go to the other ones who just take the regular 12. Okay.
00:33:22
Speaker
And I believe my last action, I will activate my Thermal Nimbus. Okay. Lovely. Lovely, lovely.
00:33:33
Speaker
Okay, so that is the end of Morgrim's turn. That brings us now to the final hunter who is riding the tiger directly in front of Morgrim. This guy is going to take his free action to attempt to demoralize Morgrim. Just snarls at you and you watch as he just unsheathes the claw.
00:33:53
Speaker
like from this extra little scabbard. It's like he had an extra scabbard covering the ah the claws itself and you hear it grind away as if this is a specially designed sheath to sharpen the weapon as it's pulled out for use.
00:34:10
Speaker
um I'd sell that on Amazon. So that is... Unfortunately, for the bandit, Morgrem, you are not intimidated by this shit, I would say, as that is only a ah an 11 to demoralize you. Yep, good. I saw this on i saw this on Instagram. Sure, it's their drop certificate, you know? So the hunter is then going to attempt to slash at you, Morgrem, with the claw blade.
00:34:39
Speaker
um That is going to be a 24 to hit. yeah Okay, so Morgrim, you take eight points of slash and damage.
00:34:54
Speaker
um Then go that this hunter is then going to use that momentum to swing around and attempt to stab Cranberry. um That is going to be an 18 to hit Cranberry. Okay,
00:35:14
Speaker
okay so that is going to be against Cranberry, nine points of slashing damage, that's fine um and then as his final action. This hunter is going to do the same thing that the other one did, sort of, but now that Morgrem you're closer you can sort of see that what he's actually doing is reaching over and grabbing a collar on the tiger's neck and sort of twisting it in a specific way which gets the tiger's attention and gets it to listen um as this command you'd imagine is issued and that is the end of his turn You activated Thermal Nimbus, so he should have taken take two two points of damage. okay So that is that. Brings us to the top of round two. And thicket, as you prepare to figure out what to do next, something falls from the sky. What? Into the snow, in between Thub, Wyatt, and Bastion.
00:36:26
Speaker
um As you look at it, it looks like a crystal of some kind. A very almost sort of perfect crystal, which has like this glowing yellow within it. And as it lands, you notice it appears to have cracked a bit and those cracks begin to widen. Vikit, you're up.
00:36:52
Speaker
I'm going to ignore that for now. And, uh, Arthur, I have a, play I got to play an Arthur. Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to do a three action act together. Okay. And I'm going to cast Ash cloud centered on cranberry. Okay. I should also actually notice note that the tiger is off guard currently because it's flanked by Morgan and, uh, cranberry. you So you're, you're casting, sorry, you said Ash cloud centered on cranberry. Yep.
00:37:22
Speaker
All right, what's the radius on that? 20 feet. 20 foot burst. 20 foot burst. That just barely gets more grim in it. Oh, shit.
00:37:35
Speaker
Can I can I just put it like right above Cranberry then, like just enough to get Morgan out or more grim out? like Oh, sorry. Yeah, I understand what you're saying. So like there. Yeah, perfect. OK.
00:37:51
Speaker
Okay, so this is difficult terrain for flying creatures and creatures can't detect anything using their sense of smell and anything starting their turn within this cloud takes 2d4 fire damage. All right, lovely, lovely.
00:38:06
Speaker
And, did it ah yeah, they they take the fortitude save at the start of their turns. Okay, so not now. yeah All right, then. And then ah with Cranberry's portion of the act together, he's going to make a strike against the off-guard tiger. Okay, go ahead and roll the hit.
00:38:32
Speaker
That's a 25 to hit. 25, that does in fact hit. Go ahead and roll damage.
00:38:39
Speaker
That is 11 points of bludgeoning, one point of fire. All right, for total 12 points of damage, lovely, lovely.
00:38:49
Speaker
And then, because Cranberry is hasted, yeah for his final action, he is going to Stride. Okay.
00:39:05
Speaker
Okay. Lovely, lovely. Then that will bring us now. Hang on. That was 15 feet. 20. 25. Just to be safe. Okay. That will bring us now to the Enfeeble Tiger who has to make a foritude save against the Ash Cloud. That is a 25.
00:39:29
Speaker
That succeeds. Okay. So what does that mean? Let me double check. Also make sure to mark that you use that spell slot. Yep. Let's see. that and It takes half damage. Okay, so 2d4 halved. Yep.
00:39:55
Speaker
That is two points of fire damage. Two points of fire damage. All right.
00:40:01
Speaker
And then it gets to take its turn. So the first thing it's going to do is... ah It is going to stride out of the cloud and attempt to pounce on Cranberry again. um So that is going to be a Jaws attack. That is a 19 to hit Cranberry.
00:40:29
Speaker
uh 19 hit cranberry that succeeds okay um and cranberry is not cranberry is not off guard against this attack my mistake um uh shit that that's that was a 19 you said yes that still hits okay so cranberry is going to take um nine points of piercing damage and the tiger's attempt is going to attempt to grab him as the teeth sink in and it just sort of clamps its jaws shut trying to keep this roiling mass of elemental power contained um that is going to be a 29 against cranberry's fortitude dc oh that succeeds okay um
00:41:22
Speaker
Is it critical or just regular? Nope, regular success. Okay. So in that case, Cranberry is now... Oh, wait, wait, wait. Hang on. Wait, I'm sorry. Did you say a 29? Yes, 29. Oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah, that crits. Okay. So that means that Cranberry is now restrained.
00:41:43
Speaker
um and now it is going to use its final action to attempt to wrestle Cranberry to the ground. um So it slashes out and with a claw. um That is a dirty 20 to hit. That hits. Okay, so Cranberry is going to take from that,
00:42:14
Speaker
um Oh, right, and Cranberry's off guard from this, so Cranberry is going to take eight points of slashing, plus one point of precision, and is immediately knocked prone.
00:42:27
Speaker
um And that is the end of that Tiger's turn. right That brings now to the other Tiger who has to make that fortitude save against the Ash Cloud. It gets a natural one. Okay, that is a critical failure. Yeah.
00:42:44
Speaker
ah Which means that it takes double damage and is blinded for one round. Oh All right So go ahead and roll that damage as it becomes blinded as it just yowls. Well the ash gets in its eyes <unk> What's like the Tom and Jerry scream, you know, you know what I'm talking about ah I can hear this yeah That's the one I can take out. Yeah, that's that's that's about it. Oh, that's 10 points of fire damage. Okay. And I believe since it's in the range of thermal Nimbus, yeah does that mean that it gets weakness to all fire? um i mean Or does it just take?
00:43:31
Speaker
No, allies get resistance, enemies just take damage. They don't have... Okay, okay so it just takes the 10 points of fire damage. It is now mortal. okay As I said, it is blinded. And how long is it blinded for? All time, no, ah one round. One round, okay. So it is then going to... Let's
00:43:58
Speaker
Okay. It is going to stumble out of the ash cloud and just sort of run past everyone. And you watch as it sort of like tries to paw the ash out of its eyes. um before a sort of like You can see it it's starting to like tear up a bit. It turns and sort of gets bearing on its surroundings.
00:44:28
Speaker
um Enough to... Let's see.
00:44:39
Speaker
Can't detect anything using vision. Okay. It does have scent though, so it is going to be able to rush thicket.
00:44:58
Speaker
using its scent. Double check. Okay, yeah, since it does have the other scent, you are not hidden from it. Yeah, you are not hidden from it.
00:45:24
Speaker
So well it will, want Blinded is confusing. um
00:45:37
Speaker
Okay. I'm going to say that it does not need to make the flat check to try to target you. But because it's not able to see you, it is going to take a penalty.
00:45:58
Speaker
um So that is going to be with a claw that is going to be a to hit thicket. Oh, that still hits. Okay, so thicket is going to take from that 15 points of slashing damage.
00:46:25
Speaker
o I'm down. Okay, Thicket is now unconscious. Does that mean that Cranberry is retracted? Yep, I believe so. Let me just double check that. Okay. oh Okay, yeah, yeah, he dissolves. Okay, so as Cranberry is retracted into you, um losing all of those status conditions, ah as you sort of start to lose consciousness, you think you can almost understand the tiger's snarl.
00:46:58
Speaker
you and you feel a warmth from the weaves, excuse me, the weave stone that you got back in Yawgwall that's currently attached to your i your clothing.
00:47:14
Speaker
As if the energy from this stone is allowing you to understand, almost. Oh? So what your stone does, you're finally finding out what the positive effect of this stone is. You're able to cast Speak with Animals once per day.
00:47:35
Speaker
It took me dying to figure that out. Yeah, I meant to mention it at the start of the fight, but I kind of forgot, even though I told myself for several weeks not to forget. How does one naturally find that out?
00:47:47
Speaker
um We're just saying that it's because he's going down within an animal distance. it Within an animal? Yeah, you're within the animal. Well, you're about to be within the animal as it's going to attempt a bite attack on you with its final action. Oh, So against Thicket, it still has its claw on Thicket as it's going to go down with its teeth and try to sink them directly into Thicket's neck.
00:48:17
Speaker
um That is going to be a dirty 20 to hit. Yeah, that hits. All right, thicket, your dying value increases by two.
00:48:34
Speaker
The bearer of the soul of frost is on death's door as we get to the start of Bastion's turn.
Cranberry's Last Stand and Elemental Burst
00:48:46
Speaker
Hey, let me just double-check a distance real quick. No, why is it making a circle? I don't want a circle, I just want- Perhaps because you're using measurement templates and not the ruler. Well, it doesn't show me the ruler right now for some reason. Because you need to have token controls selected. I had token- Clearly not if you were making templates. He's 25 feet away.
00:49:10
Speaker
All right, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we're going to go ahead and we're going to two action heal from my font of heal.
00:49:23
Speaker
On thicket if we need that clarified. I assumed as much. implicit Yeah, I assumed as much. However, that is appreciated clarification because you know me. You would have been like, yeah, you healed the tiger. Fuck you.
00:49:39
Speaker
so that is uh 3d8 plus 24 i believe that is 39 points of healing 39 points of healing to thicket whoa okay Welcome back. Thicket is like you just got eight shots of adrenaline directly into your nervous system. You can't see out of the blindfold, but my eyes shoot open. They shoot open to a painful degree, like you figure your eyelids have somehow gone back up into your skull. um Well, that's a problem for later. I'm going to use the last action to try and target this hunter on the okay back of the tiger by Thicket. Go for it.
00:50:22
Speaker
You could smell the colors at this point. Okay. That's a 22 to hit. Okay. Uh, I believe you need to take an action to reload the crossbow. Oh, that's true. Nevermind. I just reload the crossbow. Okay. Apologies. I realized that as you rolled. Um, all right, that is Oh, it's no longer off guard. That is the end of your turn then, Bastion, as the crystal continues to crack next to you. That brings us to Wyatt. I forgot the crystal. Yes, you did. Is that a grenade? Do I know if that's a grenade or not? Make a recall knowledge check of your choice as an action. As an action, OK. Actually, it's the perfect thing to use an action for, because they actually had an extra action I was thinking of doing. Recall knowledge, you said? Yes.
00:51:18
Speaker
um oh god i'm not good at any of this uh can i use underworld lore that is a recall knowledge that is a recall knowledge all these other underworld lore see if they use grenades in here uh that's gonna be a 20 This isn't any grenade you've ever seen. All the grenades you've seen have been shipped in from Vofmel and, uh, yeah, they never, they're never just rocks. This looks like a rock or a piece of glass or something. Alright, uh, I gotta worry about this later because I've read pickets not to be blasted, uh, I don't have to be sawed in half. He's gonna hit him with, uh,
00:52:03
Speaker
hit the which is the one that's damaged right now ah the one getting the one that's currently below thicket ah the tiger is mortal and the hunter is not bloodied okay the tiger is mortal you said yes and blinded so it is off guard to this attack all right if you're attack he's gonna attack him with a divine lance okay go ahead and roll ahead and that's a two action thing yes and two actions so that's my last two actions okay oh That's gonna be a 26 to hit 26 that is a hit go ahead and roll damage that's gonna be
00:52:39
Speaker
Aw, that's a lot of damage. Fifteen spirit damage. Fifteen points of spirit damage as just you look at this crystal on the ground and you're like, fuck it, that's not a problem for right now. You just hurl this divine lance and just sails through the air as this tiger is about to bite back down on Thicket directly into his skull. Jacob, what the fuck are you doing? I'm trying to... I was trying to see how far he was, and I accidentally and i accidentally clicked.
00:53:06
Speaker
um As the tiger is about to just slam its teeth directly into thicket's eye sockets, you just ha send this divine lance directly through its skull. yeah And it just keels over dead. The rider is going to... Let me double check mounted combat real quick.
00:53:28
Speaker
um because I think it needs to make a save. ah Yes. So, oh yeah. Okay, no, nevermind. The mount is stable. So, or it's stationary, not stable. So the so the rider is able to jump off successfully um without going off guard.
00:53:59
Speaker
um All right, Wyatt, that is the end of your turn. That brings us now to the hunter with the sling who is going to ah first and foremost is going to send a sling bullet at Bastion.
00:54:26
Speaker
That is going to be a 19 to hit Bastion. that will hit. Yes it does. So Bastion you are going to take from that ah nine points of bludgeoning damage.
00:54:42
Speaker
um The hunter is then going to take an action to reload the sling and then a the final action to command the tiger. That brings us now to Thub.
00:54:58
Speaker
as this crystal continues to glow and crack next to you. oh boy so
00:55:07
Speaker
can kind like look at the crystal like moveless qua this crystal You can make a recall knowledge check as an action if you'd like. i'll make a recall knowledge all right So go ahead and roll with one of your recall knowledge skills.
00:55:25
Speaker
Are you still doing nature? I'm training nature, so I'll just do nature. Go for it. Alright.
00:55:35
Speaker
What is that? It's dark. I'm going to turn the light on. Probably a good idea to turn on my light. I'm ruining the immersion. No lights for Jacob. That is 27. 27. You know, you're not entirely sure what the function of this object is. Judging by the fact that it has energy in it and is cracking, you know, you might be able to put two and two together. But looking at it, it actually looks like it might be made of ice.
00:56:05
Speaker
And you can see these like, it almost looks like it's got like runes, almost as if it's been welded together with runes. These tiny little runes along the ah the edges.
00:56:23
Speaker
forming Forming like a perfect like a perfect prism. Emma, what was your question? Did you see how large it was? Small. it could probably fit and it could You could easily hold it in one hand. Oh, okay. So like a baseball? Bigger than a baseball. it's I would say it's probably a solid like six inches long, maybe maybe two and a half inches wide at its widest point.
00:56:56
Speaker
So Thub, you have two actions remaining. As I'm sure Emma and Yona are regretting their decisions for their turns. So you said that it was a type, like basically just a crystal of welded runes? Crystal of welded ice. It's like the ice has been welded together with runes. Does it look something like this perhaps? as one I want to make sure if I got a good idea on what it looks like.
00:57:25
Speaker
like I guess I had a photo in the chat. Does it look kind of look like this? No. It does not look like a grenade. It looks like a crystal. I love how heard a block of ice welded together with runes and then in thought.
00:57:44
Speaker
You know, that sounds a lot like a grenade. You know, this sounds like it looks a lot like a pineapple for some reason. I don't know why. ah Anyway, it's thought to call it a pomegranate. You know, I'm going to call it a pomegranate. It's not a pomegranate. Thub two actions. Yeah, two actions. So I'm going to use a two action ranged elemental metal blast. OK. On this here feller right there. OK. Go ahead and roll the hit.
00:58:12
Speaker
I think he is within range. That's going to be that's going to be piercing damage for the record. OK.
00:58:20
Speaker
me
00:58:22
Speaker
Twenty six. Twenty six. That does in fact hit. Go ahead and roll that lovely to the eight plus four piercing damage to the eight plus four piercing damage. Seven to four. So that's eleven plus four.
00:58:42
Speaker
What was it for? Yeah, well it was 4. I don't know how you just told me it was 4. I have short-term memory loss apparently. So what's that a total of? That's a total of 15? I need a diagnosis. Yeah it's 15. Alright. Total of 15 points of damage, that hunter is now bloodied. As this, these shards of metal, as Thub just looks at this ice crystal on the ground and goes, huh, okay, sends these shards of metal streaking straight through. Like the hunter dismounts his dead mount and just immediately gets impaled by like five bolts of metal. That is the end of Thub's turn. That brings us to Morgrim. I need to be diagnosed.
00:59:29
Speaker
Have you not been already? with which Not with short-term memory loss, but apparently I'm showing symptoms.
00:59:40
Speaker
Welcome is going to move. All right. And then two action. May I bless the dude? I could reach the rider for now. Yeah, you can reach the rider.
00:59:59
Speaker
Nope. I rolled a 2. That does not hit, unfortunately.
01:00:07
Speaker
way That was a 2 action last you said? That's all I got. That is the end of your turn. That brings us now to the hunter who just dismounted, who is going to run over to Thicket.
01:00:23
Speaker
and is going to attempt to stab at him with a claw blade. faster um That is going to be a 30 to hit.
01:00:37
Speaker
And you have no hero points. So I'm going to say that is a critical hit most likely. All right. So that is going to be in that case too thicket. Um,
01:00:54
Speaker
That is going to be... Sorry, there's a lot of numbers. Oh, no. 23 points of piercing damage. That'd be worse. As this story think it you feel this claw blade just to go straight into your chest, like right above the Soul of Frost, where it might have clinked off. Just it just ah right there.
01:01:20
Speaker
um and is then going to use his final action ah to go for a second claw blade with his other claw blade. That one is only going to be a 17 to hit. That just reaches my AC. Okay, so not critical though, as Thicket takes an additional seven points of piercing damage. Thicket is now mortal,
01:01:48
Speaker
Again, I do believe. Oh boy.
Mysterious Crystal Explosion and Battle Complications
01:01:51
Speaker
um That brings us to the end of the round and at the end of the round, the crystal, crack, crack, crack, boom! I don't know how we didn't all see this coming. ah So I need Bastion, Wyatt, and Thub to all make reflex saves, please.
01:02:12
Speaker
yeah
01:02:15
Speaker
As the blowing energy within the crystal shatters it and explodes out. To be fair, that's a twenty why does it know that Jesus Christ, I got a twenty nine. So twenty nine bashing out of twenty four. I believe I have something for this. I did not roll 13. I, in fact, persist. Right by my feet. Oh, there it is. I'm going to use my halfling block, which I never use. OK.
01:02:44
Speaker
So I will I do that. ah see how You felt that I said I felt that saving bro. You've got a 13. Yes. OK. I will use my half leg block and I will reroll that. OK.
01:03:02
Speaker
ah On 27. So you all, as this thing is like cracking, you all suddenly put two and two together and you're like, oh, maybe we shouldn't be near this thing. And as it bursts, you start just moving enough to cover your, uh, to cover your, um, your faces and whatever. So let me go ahead and roll some damage real fast. Um,
01:03:28
Speaker
That is going to be reduced in half to all of you. Each of you takes 10 points of force damage. oh
01:03:42
Speaker
but know And as that crystal explodes, top of round three, another one, boom, into the ground. Okay, so where are these coming from?
01:03:57
Speaker
from the sky. What kind of bomber plane do they have? So you would have seen that it has an approximately 15 foot blast radius.
01:04:08
Speaker
so So right now yeah that is everyone who would be targeted. Thicket, it is now your turn. It is now my turn. OK. You are currently prone. Yep. Which one of those was bloodied?
01:04:24
Speaker
um the hunter that's currently got one of his claws in you. And and these guys are are looking just fine? They're looking pretty much just fine, yeah. Cameron? Yeah. um
01:04:46
Speaker
Seeing as I am nearly dead, ah and I'm in a very bad position, Are you going to do what I think you're going to do? I would like to use Barry on the bridge. I see. All right. You activate your last stand at what rank? right no Oh my God. Oh my God. First rank. First rank. Okay. So you look into your mind. You can feel Cranberry staring back at you and you, you hear Cranberry's voice. It is time. We must survive.
01:05:26
Speaker
as you feel Cranberry exiting you, exiting the Soul of Frost and surrounding your body.
01:05:35
Speaker
So, you all watch as Cranberry seems to surround Thicket like a suit of molten armor. This unleashes a burst of elemental energy. So, number of d6s equal to your level Roll them please. 5d6. All right. Jesus Christ. The 30 foot blast radius. That is 21 points of fire damage. Okay. So.
01:06:12
Speaker
That means, and it does not affect your allies. That is important. And it is going to use, it is just all of Cranberry's elements. So I believe at this point that would be fire and ice are the only ones that Cranberry has currently.
01:06:28
Speaker
yeah fire It will deal whichever type of damage is most effective And that means both enemies need to make reflex or all three enemies need to make reflex saves So we'll start the one who's right next to you currently and this is against your summoner DC So the guy right next to you ah Whose eyes open wide in horror gets a 13 That is a failure. All right, the tiger gets a 28
01:06:56
Speaker
uh that succeeds okay and the other hunter gets a 13 that also fails okay so both hunters will take full damage and the tiger will take half damage so how much does your roll again 21 okay 21 points of damage the guy who just had his claw in you just ah gets incinerated by the blast. um The other guy is immediately, that's 12, that's not correct,
01:07:31
Speaker
um is immediately knocked down to bloodied and the tiger takes some damage and is not looking too great either. ah And in addition, you use the Channel Elements action
01:07:49
Speaker
um So that means that you do get a... you or Right, oh wait, no, you don't get the elemental blasts because you just have the archetype. So your channel elements is now active though. Good to know. So go ahead and open your game.
01:08:12
Speaker
And you are now spent one. And we're just gonna keep thicket soaking on the field instead of pulling down cranberries, because it just makes more sense.
01:08:25
Speaker
um And then is that just, how many actions is that? Free. I see. You still have an entire turn at your disposal. All right, now just looking over at, where'd it go? There it is. God, looking at how meld into Eidolon works. Oh, you use cranberry statistics.
01:08:48
Speaker
right
01:08:51
Speaker
pull him up So i'm i' ah I'm effectively just act acting as cranberry right like thicket Yeah, it just doesn't exist anymore. I think basically um Yeah, you can't you can't act can't cast spells Activate or benefit from magic items that normally will benefit you and not your idol on And you can't use tandem actions So yeah. um Now, does Cranberry keep status effects when he gets unsummoned? I don't know. I think he does.
01:09:32
Speaker
We're going to say because these are special circumstances, I'm going to say he does not keep those status penalties um or any of any of those effects.
01:09:43
Speaker
I'll say, yeah, no, a turn would have already passed. Yeah, a turn has already passed, so wouldn't have been frightened anyways, and he's not grabbed anymore or prone. Well, no, he is prone because you are currently prone. So he's not not restrained, but he is still prone as you are prone. So go ahead and take your turn. You have all three of your actions at your disposal. Okay. Well, I'm going to start by ah pushing myself off the ground as as, you know, the snow melts all around me. All right. um
01:10:15
Speaker
That was one action. And then, oh god, is that part of a stride? Or does that take up the entire stride? That takes up an action. Gotcha, all right. Two actions remaining. All right, I'm going to... Actually, wait, hold on. How long does that was that Quicken supposed to last? One minute. Okay. Would I still have that then?
01:10:41
Speaker
has a minute I would say a minute is definitely not passed. So I would say Cranberry is still quickened, meaning that you have an extra action to use. Since you're acting as Cranberry, you have an extra action to use to stride or strike. just get myself Then I'm going to use that extra action to stride on over here.
01:11:04
Speaker
Oh shit, there's thermal and then it's affect me. No, it does not. damn You get you get like, I think, yeah, too you get since you get resistance. Yeah. Oh, but no, no detriment to you. All right. And then this doesn't affect my health at all.
01:11:22
Speaker
No, like my my my health is still what it was. Your health is still all fucked up. Okay, and i know I can't use items, correct? Correct, unless they would also benefit from Cranberry. However, I will note, if I remember correctly from what I wrote in the last stand rules, while you are using your last stand, you cannot go unconscious. Perfect. Yeah, you do not fall unconscious when you are reduced to zero HP, though your dying value functions as normal. ah You do not die until your ability's duration expires. Okay, great.
01:11:52
Speaker
So yeah. And also just a reminder to a rules change that I made for everyone, whenever you level up, your spent value goes down by one. So. Oh, that's very good to know. Yeah.
01:12:03
Speaker
Yeah, because I had a two or three. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're at two. You're at two. Now, Markham is at one. All right. So yes, you guys are crazy. So with my next action, I'm going to, as Cranberry, point at the rider and scream, just let out just an abhorrent roar and attempt to demoralize it.
01:12:31
Speaker
Okay, go ahead and roll intimidation as cranberry and this is that sorry this is that the writer yes the writer, okay?
01:12:41
Speaker
Oh Right do you roll intimidation you roll intimidation against his will they see yeah, I believe so yes So go ahead and roll that and then for cranberry that would just be flat charisma correct cranberry does not build himself Cranberry does have skills just not that one
01:13:00
Speaker
Oh, that was a bad one. That's 9. 9? Okay. That unfortunately is a failure. Alright. Not a critical failure though. No trouble. Then I'm just, in that case, going to sucker punch the tiger.
01:13:17
Speaker
You know what, I'm going to say that because I'm very confused by how meld into I'm alone or I'm alone meld into I'm alone. We become part of the world. I'm trying to figure out. That's very better. Yeah, no, you are just cranberry. So yeah, you wouldn't have that. You're just using cranberries ability scores for everything. OK, so yeah. Well, what were you using next?
01:13:45
Speaker
Oh, just a primary strike against a big boy. Okay, go ahead and roll a hit.
01:13:54
Speaker
18. 18 unfortunately does not hit. All right, that's my turn. Okay.
01:14:07
Speaker
Wait, use one action to get up, one action. Ah, yeah, one action to get up, one action to stride, one action to intimidate, one action. Okay, yeah, that'll. I can't act together. I know. Tis the drawback. That brings us, and you end your turn, of course, within the 15 foot blast radius of the crystal. That brings us to the tiger now. Two fire damage, please. Two points of fire damage. Thank you for the reminder. All right. And actually, let me just double check your aura junction
01:14:39
Speaker
um it gains weakness of fire to your fire impulses is that stance an impulse i don't think so thermal nimbus is an impulse oh it is so it takes an additional two points of damage so basically anything that's taking your thermal nimbus takes four points of damage because it has weakness to the impulse
01:15:04
Speaker
um All right, so that is how it starts its turn it is then going to ah It is then going to slash it thicket with a claw um That is going to be a 28 to hit thicket thicket cranberry thicket berry and I'm using cranberries AC. Yes, that is a critical hit critical hit okay with the claw so that is going to be a a total of 26 points of slashing damage. So you are now immediately brought to dying three because you were already wounded. Wait. But I am not unconscious. You are not unconscious. Do you... That's not good. So the tiger is then going to use its second action.
01:16:03
Speaker
yeah should give giveby give give give run
01:16:09
Speaker
Run 30 feet over there and then it's final action to pounce to run around and pounce at Thub with a jaw strike. So Thub that is a 16 to hit.
01:16:30
Speaker
Jacob, press 16 is not hit. OK, then you are not hit by that attack as the tiger is now directly behind you. ah The other tiger is dead. So that brings us now to Bastion Parker. You're currently within the blast radius. So to be clear, the blast radius is this circle here. Yes, hold on. I'll color it. I'll make it a different color because there's a lot of orange on this. Thank you. That that helps. There's a lot of colors everywhere. There's a lot of it is now blue.
01:16:54
Speaker
There are two circles. Oh, there are a lot of circles, actually. There's actually a lot of circles. One, two, three, four, five circles. Six circles. Currently, the people in the blast radius are Thicket, who I will remind you is dying three right now. So the second, basically, because this ability his last hand ability lasts until the end of combat, the second combat ends. If he is dying four, he dies instantly. Actually, right now, because he spent one, he would die instantly.
01:17:24
Speaker
if he is still dying. Oh yeah, because you lose one of your dying. Okay, so here's my... Can I stabilize him as he's... Sure, yeah. Dying still functions as normal, he just doesn't fall unconscious. Okay, we're gonna use two actions to stabilize our boy over here. Okay. What just happened? So that means... So that means... Wait, is he at zero hit points right now technically? Yes.
01:17:49
Speaker
Does Martyr's intervention trigger on this? Does what? Does Martyr's intervention trigger? if If they take damage to reduce the zero hit points, I could just not have that happen. Hold on, I'm looking for looking for this.
01:18:05
Speaker
um I'm not seeing this <unk> anywhere on your sheet. Here, I just cast it. Oh, it's a spell. Yeah. Oh, OK.
01:18:17
Speaker
um
01:18:20
Speaker
okay so because he's not unconscious so i wouldn't i wouldn't know i'm going to be nice and say that ah you can't have to be nice sent well because because again i don't want to wait it's thick it's thick and stern anyway so a turn has not been had since the uh
01:18:45
Speaker
A turn has not been taken. Bastion has not taken any action, so yes, you can use Martyr's Intervention. Okay. i I literally reach out my hand and you see, like ah I saw the pull-tot strings of the souls that are now glowing, bright gold, and I connect my life force with Vickets for just a moment.
01:19:09
Speaker
And, well, you know, I become Wounded 1 and he becomes Wounded 1. Okay, so Thicket is now Wounded 2 at one hit point, not dying. Yes, okay. And Wyatt is now Wounded 1. Okay. That really hurt! Ow, ow! I will note again, Thicket's maximum dying value is 3. If Thicket goes down again, he will die at the end of combat. Yes. I will remind you again, Thicket is now at one hit point within the blast radius of an explosive. Bastion, you're up.
01:19:39
Speaker
Okay, um... And you have not had to stabilize, so you still have your full turn. Wonderful, excellent news. Can I... use my action to tackle Thicket and I out of the blast radius? I would say you'd have to use one action to stride, one action to shove. If you don't have any other abilities, I'll allow you to shove while running. Sounds good.
01:20:07
Speaker
All right, so you move as one action, and then Thicket, do you allow yourself to be shoved? Yes. Okay, so I will say right now, a simple shove will only get Thicket five feet, which will still put him in the blast radius. Bastion, I need you to roll to see if you critically succeed in order to push him 10 feet.
01:20:31
Speaker
What is, what is, what am I rolling? Athletics. Athletics. Athletics. I guess it's 42. Yes.
01:20:40
Speaker
And I will say since Stickit is willing, we'll give you a bonus of this. Okay. Well, that's a 24. 24. That, even without any bonuses, is a critical success. Or, well, what's Cranberries for the TDC, right? We're using Cranberries. That is still a critical success. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. So Bastion, you managed to push Thicket 10 feet, pushing him out of the blast radius. However, you, I'm assuming you're trying to follow. Yeah. You, unfortunately, are still in the blast radius. I still have an action. You, however, have one action, yes. Cool, cool, cool. We're gonna go...
01:21:23
Speaker
This way. Okay.
01:21:28
Speaker
Actually, sorry, all of this shenanigans with Wyatt's reaction is just reminding me. Thicket, your initiative would not have moved, so you would still be before Bastion, so you're gonna go now. Oh, okay. Sorry, this is a whole lot of shenanigans at once, which is perfectly okay. Wyatt, that's an awesome spell. So Bastion, that is the end of your turn. Thicket, that brings us to you.
01:21:50
Speaker
Okay. Let's see. You have all three reactions. I can't see anybody else on the board. Right. That's because you're technically outside the map. Let's just move you there for the sake of being able to see. Okay. ah Now, using my first action, I would like to stride.
01:22:13
Speaker
All right. That collides with a ball.
01:22:19
Speaker
Nothing should be colliding with walls right now because there are no walls. I also got that message. I don't know why. I don't know why either. I don't know. I don't know what's going on with the movement right now because something's wrong. Just measure and I'll move. So remember to measure from one space back there.
01:22:45
Speaker
My second action, I'm going to stride to over here. One action remaining. I have two actions. I'm hasted. Oh, right. Hasted. Forgot about the haste. Two actions remaining. So that's how this makes me tackling him out of the blast race entirely pointless. We'll say, yeah, I apologize. This is a lot of moving parts. I still appreciate the help.
01:23:15
Speaker
Now let's see and you got yourself out of the blast radius so not completely pointless I mean, I could have done that in one move. Oh, yeah Now what is very interesting Is that
01:23:43
Speaker
Thicket can't cast spells, but Cranberry can. e So I would like to... For the Rule of Cool, I would like to use Gougeon Claw. Okay. It's not even Rule of Cool. Gougeon Claw just has extra abilities. Well, oh wait, right. Well, it is an attack. It does count as an attack. Well, no, Quicken specifies strike.
01:24:13
Speaker
oh Oh, shit. Okay. Yeah, you you have to strike. Sorry. Yeah, it'll do. It's okay. Yeah, and I apologize. Just got a strike. well man no and No, no, no, no, no. You have two actions remaining. Gougeon Claw has two action ability. You use one of your actions to stride. There you go. Perfect. Beautiful. So much math. All right. So go ahead and roll the hit with your Gougeon Claw. Against the tiger or the rider?
01:24:40
Speaker
Let's go with the tiger. Okay, go for it. I'd just like to imagine that by the time that Cam gets to work this evening, his brain will be so fried that nothing happens on the news. You know what's funny? my When I go to work after a session, I actually have more energy.
01:25:00
Speaker
Really? 30-20. 30-20 to hit. Unfortunately, does not hit. It's not that I'm extroverted. It's that I have more energy because all the adrenaline is pumping through my mind. Bear it up. So what brand of steroid do you use? um No comment. All right. So that unfortunately does not hit. And that I believe is the end of your turn then.
01:25:30
Speaker
Yes? Yeah, that's the end of my turn. I apologize. And because of the whole snafu with turn order, I'm going to say Bastion gets one more action.
01:25:40
Speaker
of I'm trying to be nice here. I know. I just didn't know I was going. No, I know. It was illegal. OK, how far am I from that tiger? You are currently 45 feet approximately from the tiger.
01:25:58
Speaker
Oh, excellent. I'm gonna cast, oh, I only have one action.
01:26:08
Speaker
How many hit points does Colby have? One. Oh, I can't touch him though. Goddammit. Alright, I'm just gonna move. I'm gonna move closer. Okay.
01:26:23
Speaker
You have now moved closer. That brings us to Wyatt, who's currently within the blast radius. I will take ah one step here. so That's going to be five-minute movement. Wait, actually?
01:26:38
Speaker
Actually no, you know what? I'm gonna take the grenade blast. I don't care. I'm fine. I'm gonna just two action heal. Wait, hold on. What does this do? One action? Okay, I'm gonna two action heal Thicket. Two action heal Thicket as a third, I'm assuming from your font. So that is a third level. So that is going to be 3d8 plus 24.
01:27:06
Speaker
3d8. Whoa. My gosh. three Yep, 3d8 plus 24. Um, congrats. You get 42 points of healing. Oh my God. All the way back up to full, but it's still winded. Yeah, you're getting on my entire character is built to do this. so you have You have one action remaining now. Uh, one action. Uh, and I don't think we're forgetting because you do remind us constantly. but do I like, I like the same. like I will say why that's his character. He's providing people that he's important. Um,
01:27:45
Speaker
uh i got one extra room i need it picket somehow um or can i and can can i try intimidate this guy i'm gonna try to intimidate him i'm gonna try to intimidate the rider i'll intimidate the rider okay go how do you attempt to intimidate as you go intimidation I would say roll first and then decide what you're saying. Yes, I was going to say this has got to be his character. Eleven. Eleven. All right. What do you say? That is unfortunately a failure. Yes. He just he just starts. He just says the F word really loudly. Why it just screams. Fuck. Everyone just turns and looks at him and the writer just cocks his head to one side and is like speaks in common.
01:28:36
Speaker
You are disgusting.
01:28:39
Speaker
This is the first time you've ever heard one of the saber tooth wow raiders speak common. That is the end of Y's turn. Y turns to turn in the blast radius. That brings us now to the hunter who is going to start out by a looking around and is going to send a sling bullet at Morgrim.
01:29:02
Speaker
That is going to be a 25 to hit Morgrim. Okay. Then that is going to be eight points of bludgeoning damage.
01:29:19
Speaker
The rider is then going to take an action to reload, and then final action to send a Sling Bullet at Bastion.
01:29:30
Speaker
That brings us to a 10 to hit against Bastion. He's not hit. All right, that is the end of his turn. He ends his turn with a sling unloaded. That brings us now to Thub. Hello. Hello. Hello.
01:29:46
Speaker
oh
01:29:52
Speaker
Anyways, I'm just saying. so um
01:29:58
Speaker
I'm going to turn around. I have my sword. I'm going to strike. I'm going to I'm going to stab the cat with the sword. OK, go ahead and roll the head. Fantastic. Actually, you know what? Hold on. If I use. If I use Dracus in breath.
01:30:28
Speaker
We know why. Will that would hit both? Will that hit both of them? Yep, they technically take up the same space right now. So that would hit both of them. Yeah, you... I should also note, for Dracus and Breath, you don't have an option of a line or a cone. You only have the line.
01:30:47
Speaker
Cool. So, would you like to use Dracus and Breath? Let me ask you something. Is that effective at multi-type penalty? No, it's a reflex. They make a reflex saves. OK, so here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to make one attack with my sword onto the tiger and then with my second slash third move, i I'll I use the dragon's breath. OK, so go ahead and roll the hit with your sword first. Sword?
01:31:20
Speaker
That is a 24 to hit. 24 against the Tiger does hit. Go ahead and roll damage. <unk> So 1d10, I forgot that i this is the 1d10.
Ongoing Battle Tactics and Reflections
01:31:33
Speaker
Wah-ha-ha. Wah-ha-ha-ha-ha. Wah-ha. That is a 8. Wait. Actually, wait. Plus 1. Plus 9.
01:31:44
Speaker
Slashing damage, yes. All right, nine points of damage. The tiger is now bloodied and you then, as the blade sinks into the tiger, you just ah unleash your breath directly into it. So both of them, starting with the tiger, will need to make reflex saves. The tiger gets a natural 20 for a total of 31. And the hunter gets a 25.
01:32:15
Speaker
I think that's gonna, I think that's gonna succeed for both. So yeah, critical success for the Tigers. The Tiger actually takes no damage. Tiger manages to dodge out of the way somehow, but half damage for the Hunter. So go ahead and roll that 3d4 and cut it in half. 3d4. Yes.
01:32:44
Speaker
three So eight plus three, that's 11, cut it in half. Are we saying that's five or six? Five, five. All right, so five points of damage. The hunter is now mortal, and I need you to roll one more d4, because that is your cooldown on your breath. You cannot use your breath ah for another one d4 rounds. What, with the d4? Yeah.
01:33:12
Speaker
1d4 1 all right so you have one round of cooldown on your breath and that is the end of your turn that brings us now to morgram who is currently in the explosion radius yes i'm going to move out all right and then i will wait hold on wait after right
01:33:41
Speaker
I think that last one back. I down here so they could be in my battle back. And then I'm going to do flying flame to hit both of them. That's basic reflex. Basic reflexes from both will start with the tiger itself, the tiger, and that is an impulse, I believe. Yes. and So it will have a weakness of two. So that is going to be a 30, flat 30 for the tiger save.
01:34:12
Speaker
That's a success. Okay. And the Hunter gets a natural 20 for a total of 31. That is also a success. All right. And that is a critical success. So I believe that means... But this is 22. Right. But it got him now at 20. Oh, got it. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yes. So Hunter takes no damage. Tiger takes half damage. Six points then. All right. And is that including the weakness?
01:34:40
Speaker
No, I didn't. OK, so a total of eight points, eight points. All right. And I believe that is the end of your turn, then. Yes. All right, then I need white to make a reflex save as the crystal explodes. All right.
01:35:01
Speaker
Okay, it's 22. 22, that is a success. You know it's coming, so you managed to hide your face from it. ah You take six points of force damage. That was a lot less than I expected, okay. Okay, so that one is gone, and then another one. Boom! Thunks down right there. Wait?
01:35:32
Speaker
Let me make it blue real fast. There we go. All right. So it now has, the crystal now has all of you in its radius as we get to the tiger's turn. Fire damage. Fire damage. Thank you. So total of four, thanks to that weakness. um The tiger is then going to ah it is going to attempt first and foremost to run to over here as it's stride and it's going to pounce at Bastion so it makes a jaw strike against Bastion now. That is a 24 to hit Bastion. Well that hits. Okay so Bastion you are going to take from that
01:36:30
Speaker
seven points of piercing damage and it is going to use this as an opportunity to attempt to grab you. So against your 42 DC that is a natural 20 for a total of 31. So that is a critical success on the grab. So you are now restrained and it has one action remaining which it is going to use to attempt to wrestle you to the ground.
01:36:59
Speaker
um So it is going to make a claw strike against you for this. That is a 22 to hit Bastion. it's Okay, so Bastion is going to take from that 10 points of slashing damage and is now prone.
01:37:21
Speaker
Within the blast radius and the strength. Oh, of course I am. Why would that be? um That is the end of the Tigers turn that brings us now to thicket. OK.
01:37:37
Speaker
This little bastard. I'm going to. I'm going to yell at the writer again and attempt to intimidate him. No, because they become immune to your intimidation after you try for like an hour. Yeah, you're right. Okay, well, then I'm going to use my extra action to stride. Okay. I'm gonna go down here. All right. And then, can I hypothetically reach the rider? Yes. Yeah, the rider and the and the mount take up the same space for mechanical sake. Gotcha. Okay.
01:38:23
Speaker
And then, I don't know if that's law or not, but I'm saying it is. Athletics is one of the skills that Cranberry is trained in, correct? Cranberry doesn't, I don't think Cranberry actually has any skills that he's trained in. Let me, let me open up Eidolons again. I'm, oh my God, I keep saying that. Eidolons, again. um But I believe Eidolons aren't trained in anything. um Elemental Eidolon.
01:38:52
Speaker
Uh. Oh no. Cranberry should be trained in nature and survival. Nature and survival. Okay. Gotcha. I don't know why I didn't write that down at any point, but all right. Um, but not, not athletics. Correct. Okay. Uh, well I'm still going to attempt a grapple against a big man up there. Okay.
01:39:16
Speaker
What the fuck? That's a natural one. I will actually. Well, you know what? I will do another one. I'll do a hero point. so Dish out a hero point to you. Oh, my God. Thank you. Go ahead and roll again, then. Imagine if I get another one. Well, that's a 10. It's not a fail. So. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to use one of my feats. I'm going to use assurance with ah ah because I have athletics a certain assurance. So. ah Instead of my skill check, I'm going to receive a result of 10 plus my proficiency bonus.
01:39:53
Speaker
so So... Or does that is that instead of rolling? I thought it was instead of rolling, but I could be wrong. You do that instead of rolling. Shit, okay, that's a 10. Yep. Okay, so the 10 is unfortunately a failure, and that's against 4-2 DC, yeah? Yes. Alright, not a critical failure, just a regular one.
01:40:12
Speaker
Damn. So you have one action and one hasted action remaining. So I use my hasted at. I use my hasted action to move. So I'm going to try go again. OK, go for it.
01:40:29
Speaker
Here we go. That's a 28 and that will be against the rider. OK, go ahead and roll damage as that does, in fact, hit. And we're going to make this... I accidentally click slashing, but I want that to be a piercing, because I think skewering the guy is a very okay fun condition. Okay. So, actually, we just... It says 2d6 plus... Oh, it doesn't make a real difference, I guess. Or 46, right, heightened. So, total of 15 damage.
01:41:05
Speaker
15 piercing plus four persistent bleed. Okay, so you attempt to grab him and as he just hook reels back, you just reach up and Cranberry just grows these like Wolverine claws, just slashes straight into, just straight over to the side and into the side of the hunter's head, killing him instantly.
01:41:34
Speaker
So now the tiger is all that's left, and the tiger is currently bloodied. That it is the end of Thicket's turn. That brings us now to Bastion, who is still currently grabbed and prone by the tiger. Yes. um Okay, question. Can I try and shoot it from this, or is there a closeness disadvantage?
01:41:57
Speaker
um
01:42:00
Speaker
it's It's a matter of you being restrained. So you can't attack while restrained. That's really unfortunate. The only attack or manipulate actions you can use are attempt to escape. Yes, so you can attempt to escape. Athletics, acrobatics, unarmed strike.
01:42:21
Speaker
Oh, we have an unarmed strike attempt to attack. Okay, get a 19. 19, unfortunately, is a failure. You are still restrained. Wonderful news. I'm going to attempt to escape again. OK, go ahead and roll again with multiple attack penalty.
01:42:45
Speaker
That is a 15, so I'm assuming I'm still stuck here. Yep, you are still stuck there. OK, and as I'm, you know, pinned in the blast zone, I'm going to go ahead and cast one action heal on myself from my font appeal.
01:43:00
Speaker
ah Let me double check what traits that has. It is a manipulate action, which I believe means ah you cannot do that while you are restrained. You cannot use any attack or manipulate actions. So no heal for you. I will try and escape again. Okay. Maximum multiple attack penalty.
01:43:30
Speaker
Oh, that's a 19 for me. That unfortunately is still a failure. You are still just this thing has its teeth like in your shin and it's just holding you down. That's the end of your turn. That brings us to Wyatt. Oh, God, hold on. um
01:43:51
Speaker
Do I risk it? hu Sure. Yeah, look let let's gamble. I'm in a kind of mood. I'm in a soccer kind of mood, guys. Let's go. Somebody say gamble. Yeah.
01:44:07
Speaker
Uh, Wyatt's gonna say, ah, shit, as he
Aftermath and Reflections on the Fight
01:44:11
Speaker
opens his hand, and he just points towards the, uh, the s saber-toothed lion. The saber-toothed lion? Saber-toothed lion? No, I don't know. Saber-toothed tiger. It's a tiger. Yeah, it's a I'm ashamed of California, even though I used to fit anywhere. I point over that saber-toothed tiger. Yeah. And it's just an awkward pause for a few seconds. I'm gonna try and cast Holy Light on it.
01:44:34
Speaker
Oh, light. Okay. What does that do? It does this. I need to make a I need to make an attack roll and then see if it hits or not. Oh, oh, oh, that's bad ass. All right. Oh, oh, that's going to be a twenty to the head. Twenty two. That is a hit. So go ahead and roll five D six fire damage. It's nice. Right.
01:45:04
Speaker
ah got yeah spell That's gonna be points of damage. 18 points of damage. How do you want to finish this tiger off? As i as Wyatt points towards the tiger, it's an awkward silence. And then all of a sudden the tiger just from its soul combusts.
01:45:24
Speaker
Yeah, you just watch as this tiger just sort of looks at you, confused for a moment, as it realizes this rider is currently lying dead on its back, looks back at you, and then lights ablaze, starts shrieking before, boom, bursting into viscera as everything Wyatt kills tends to do. yeah And the rider's body is, I guess, taken with it. So Bastion, you are no longer restrained.
01:45:52
Speaker
why you have one action remaining you are still a blast radius gonna look up I'm gonna try and see where this is coming from um okay you currently don't see any more crystals coming okay my turn all right that brings us to thumb um we're we're spent with all the enemies we're just trying to get are we trying to get thicket up and running or like what are we thickets out currently thicket is the only one of you outside of the blast radius right there is the blast radius thing that i'm gonna get out of now okay get some so sub gets themselves out of the blast radius don't try throwing it away from the blast radius please thank you dub has two actions remaining
01:46:53
Speaker
The temptation to just throw a fireball at it and just see if it blows up. Okay. Roll the hit. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I'm going to handle it. I think we're good, right? I'm not doing it for you then if you don't want to do it as well. All right. I know that I can't save for Orgrim. I cannot save for Orgrim, but I could take one. I could totally take one. And I'm genuinely curious. Orgrim, can you take one?
01:47:23
Speaker
How's Bastion looking, though? Probably not. Bastion is not quite bloody, but winded. and Can Bastion take one? That's what I just answered. Bastion is not quite bloody, but winded. You have two actions remaining. So what would you like to do, Thumb?
01:47:45
Speaker
so what would you like to do thought You'll be fine. Elemental Blast. Okay, roll the hit. Oh, that's a blast of fire. Okay, roll the hit. For some fucking reason. 16. 16. Uh, I'm gonna say, sure, yeah, that hits. Roll damage. Okay. this was This was a two action, by the way. I should clarify. Okay, okay good to know. Because I just need to wait and watch the action.
01:48:18
Speaker
two One, so three. Okay. Thub sends out this elemental blast, which immediately melts the ice and unleashes the energy. I need Bastion, Morgrim, and Wyatt to make reflex saves, please. Surprise. Not. Surprise, surprise. Thank you, Thub. Very cool. You're so welcome. You know what? If anything, I splice things up, okay?
01:48:47
Speaker
Sure, yeah, blowing up your party members is a great idea always for slicing things up. That's a 22. 22, Morgan got a 23, Wyatt got a natural 20 for a total of 29. So all of you succeed and we'll take half damage from this. So each of you takes five points of force damage.
01:49:10
Speaker
oh
01:49:14
Speaker
And you brace yourselves trying to figure out what's coming next. But nothing, nothing comes. No more crystals fall from the sky. You're out of combat, which does mean that Cranberry melts back into Thicket's form. And Thicket falls, Thicket does not even fall unconscious. Thicket is just there now.
01:49:46
Speaker
And yeah, that is that you have you have ended combat. Oh You've all survived what's what's Last good check on thicket. Is he okay? You run over to thicket and Yeah, at first glance actually he looks a little bit more tired than usual But yeah, it seems like your magic kept him kept him up and fighting you okay Yeah, where what
01:50:20
Speaker
You smell something cooking? Do I smell something cooking? The last time you asked that it was Mordrem's flesh, so... You do, in fact, Wyatt, smell a burning tiger viscera as it falls from the sky around you. Other than the burning tiger... You think it's just raining.
01:50:43
Speaker
got some ah Catch some catch some catch of drops in your mouth.
01:50:49
Speaker
Now, I will note, Ficket does know what rain is, even though he's never experienced it before. Because rain is part of, uh, part of mythology, basically.
01:51:05
Speaker
Wait, rain? Yeah, I can smell the rain. It's always too cold. Sorry, Ficket, that's not real rain.
01:51:19
Speaker
Oh. Yeah. and That was part of the tiger and I believe part of the fucking rider show. Is that is that why my character model is is covered in blood now?
01:51:39
Speaker
Just for the viewers to get a ah closer look. And it is fact covered in blood. It has been sensi leveled up.
01:51:50
Speaker
I actually do have a general question. What was the last time, so GM, what was the last time we took a shower? Because it feels like we've been fighting a lot of enemies that get caught up in the viscera. And we haven't had a shower session yet. You probably have been bathing in the snow outside a little bit. In like make
Enemy Leader Sighting and Departure Discussions
01:52:13
Speaker
makeshift baths. My flesh got burned away, so I'm sure the blood went with it.
01:52:18
Speaker
I can't remember, did you guys stay with Krocatuk the last time you visited? I don't think the whole day, no. I don't believe so. We'll say Krocatuk precipitated away all the viscera. So you're not totally disgusting. And also Bastion is currently wearing Morgrem's spare clothes.
01:52:40
Speaker
which don't fit very well, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. They don't fit very well. Have my clothes dried? Well, yeah, because Bastion is significantly larger than you, Margaret. Oh, but these were just random clothes I found in that first. Yeah, they already didn't fit you particularly well either, but you picked facade the ones that were closer to dwarf size. um But yeah, currently there are no crystals falling from the sky. I would say. Yeah.
01:53:07
Speaker
The last cloud is dissipated. All right. I'm going to clean up thicket real quick. He seems extremely messed up. And also you, Bastion, if you want to get clean too, because you were, uh, you know, in the blast and sorry, the splash zone, as I say, the splash. I'm a little more concerned with, you know, up trying to kill us and the boat. But whatever you feel is best.
01:53:36
Speaker
One of the boats is wrecked, isn't it? It's not completely wrecked. It's still usable. It's just very damaged. um So yeah, Morgan, what are you doing? all Staring daggers up. Waiting to see if he gets close enough to the edge of water so she can shove him in. Oh, he's right at the edge of the water right now. She's going to try to shove him in the water. Okay. Trying to blow us all up.
01:53:59
Speaker
oh yeah that did happen i was kind of pinned down like you're literally laying on the ground in the blast radius and he's like oh what's this dude that's fair i'm not thrilled either but i you know i can't roll for thudu squad tonight More grim. You walk up to Thub who's just standing there sort of proud with themselves, just like, yeah, yeah, look at that. We're done now. And you just push him violently. He doesn't fall into the water, but I think your point is made. The emotion is conveyed. Yeah. Thub, how do you respond to this? You know what? I deserve that. And I just, I voluntarily fall into the water.
01:54:41
Speaker
yeah That is not what she expected.
01:54:48
Speaker
Okay, thumb it according to save. And then my... like the edit Hold on. That is a... fucking Oh my god, 24. 21st of all. And then as i and then like as I fall into the water, I pick i peek my head up and then I go, in my defense, I would not have done it if I didn't think you would survive.
01:55:11
Speaker
I thought that's not hurt. You're companions anymore. Whether you think we're going to survive or not. Are my normal clothes dried? No, your normal clothes are frozen solid. You're still in the Arctic Tundra. Awesome. I'm going to pick up my frozen clothes. OK. I'm going to start by you know washing the tiger viscera off, and then I'm going to go over here and I'm gonna lay one pair of my clothes on Morgrim, who radiates heat, and the other pair on Thub, who radiates heat, and I'm going to dry my damn clothes. Okay, so Bastion's currently not wearing any winter clothes? No, I'm wearing my existing winter clothes, the ones that I borrowed. So whats what pairs? Keep drying hers, her original clothes on us. Okay, so you're drying so you're drying the jacket on Morgrim and the pants on Thub? Yes.
01:56:09
Speaker
Okay, you said pear, so I was like, what are you talking about? I thought you were, it's okay, I understand now. I want a piece of clothing on both of them. Okay, Morgrim gets the extra jacket, which almost immediately begins to thaw. And Thub, you now have a pair of frozen pants that have just smacked into your skull.
01:56:33
Speaker
Yeah, I deserve that too. Now,
01:56:41
Speaker
Morgrim, as you sort of hand the jacket back, now that it's completely dry after only like 30 seconds, um you hand the jacket back and you go to look back at Thub and you spot something, not something, someone at the water's edge. Motherfucker. Up to the north.
01:57:06
Speaker
You see another Sabretooth tribe member right eyes sound of writing a,
01:57:17
Speaker
just a moment if I can find the image that I'm looking for. This implies that it's not riding a tiger, which is worse. He's riding a much larger looking tiger with a bigger mane and a saddle and tall pointed ears. And the person riding it,
01:57:39
Speaker
tall, muscular, wearing a much more refined claw gauntlet with a bow on on his back, wearing a fur cape.
01:57:52
Speaker
Looks at you all, snarls, past the side of his smile-a-don and disappears. Smile-a-don? Yeah. Sounds so cute.
01:58:07
Speaker
that That cute man was all killing us. That's the official name of a saber two tiger. yeah That's the canon name. So you have just witnessed that. Morgram, I would say, is the only one who is directly... Well, no, Morgram did call attention to this, so I would say everyone else would have spotted this as well. I'm scrambling to like pull on my now dry pants. Like, oh god, are they coming?
01:58:38
Speaker
No, it looks like you were ran away. I don't know if you're going to get back up or what. Let's quickly grab the freaking claws and let's let's bounce. Let's get the hells out of here. OK, get the fuck out of here. Yeah, let's let's get in the boat. What's it? Claws. I need I need the claws. The gauntlet. You realize that these things had a 10,000 foot reach with those chunks of meat and stuff.
01:59:07
Speaker
So necessarily going in the boats isn't going to necessarily help us any. It could just end up- It clearly knows we're here. If it wanted to kill us, it would come kill us. It might've needed a prince? Instead of being outnumbered?
01:59:32
Speaker
I will note in regards to the claws. One hunter was completely immolated. And the other hunter was thrown into the sky and has now landed in the lake. See.
Return to Town and Reporting
01:59:48
Speaker
Aha. So no claws for you unless you want to unless you want to try to declaw this tiger corpse.
01:59:55
Speaker
Yeah, no claw blades. I, I, I stand, I stand in the average location where there's as much as like the most immediate amount of viscera. And I try and say a quick prayer for the 10. Okay. Also thicket, make sure that you mark down that you killed somebody. Oh, oh, that's you're supposed to be doing that. Remember? I, I'm going to be so honest. I forgot about that. I know.
02:00:28
Speaker
Let's see, how many people is that now? I don't know, you're the one who's supposed to be tracking that. i guess Fair enough. Okay, so you spend 10 minutes to rest and spend a resolve point. Would anybody else like to do this? Yes. If we're spending 10 minutes, then yeah.
02:00:44
Speaker
As I, as I, as I say my prayer of like, you know, it's like me rot in heaven, you furry face, kind of a thing, you know? Okay. Um, so anyone who wishes to make it again a resolve rest, it's not weird. Oh, I don't mean. Oh my gosh. I'm not going to make it weird. I can keep watch when I do a resolve point. Yes. Uh, yes.
02:01:06
Speaker
okay
02:01:15
Speaker
So yeah, thicke I think you're at like five now, maybe. Yeah, I just put down five because I think that's a good estimate. Okay. Cool. So if everyone is resolve resting, then yeah, you spend that 10 minutes. And during the course of that 10 minutes, nothing happens. Everything is quiet.
02:01:45
Speaker
<unk> suspicious may i introduce you all to the boats yes let's get out of here but maybe we shouldn't go out into the middle where the big fish are going to be let's just go back i need to take a nap i uh i'm feeling How would we just say the fishing adventure was fun and we just go back? How about that? I think that's a good calling, I'm feeling. We'll give it back everything we have, take a nap, call it a night. What I'm wondering is, what why are bombs falling from the sky? ah That is a question I am not interested in answering today. Get in the boat.
02:02:34
Speaker
I'm getting in the boat. Okay. So you all get in your boats. Um, I'm assuming it's the same division as before where Wyatt and Thubber in their own boat. I assume so. Yeah. Okay. Are you all talking about anything on your way back? Orgram's keeping watch on the shorelines.
02:03:03
Speaker
that's gonna like ask bob so uh that was rough you're right it was very rough especially the part where i lost the fish i know that was very rough wasn't it yeah that's all you're gonna say yeah but yeah
02:03:36
Speaker
Both and at like, quiet after he says rough for like the tenth time in 30 seconds. Okay. Just like, just like, what's, like, what's your point?
02:03:51
Speaker
You could cut the awkwardness with a dull knife from friggin Macy's. That's how it told yeah, that's how awkward it is. A dull knife from Macy's. How Macy's specifically. but Yeah, not not from anywhere else.
02:04:06
Speaker
Not from anywhere, not Home Depot, not not Office Depot, not Sears, not Sears. We at Live From Dice Jail, and this is the express opinion of Live From Dice Jail, think that Macy's specifically has dull knives. Do not buy knives from Macy's. but this episode is This episode was denied sponsorship by Macy's. This episode is anti-sponsored by Macy's.
02:04:35
Speaker
This episode is liability. liability. Weakly and monetarily.
02:04:47
Speaker
So... We are in deep shit. Okay, so in the other boat, Morgrim is keeping watch. Is anyone else, uh, are Bastion and Thicket talking about anything? So, uh, I'm gonna be perfectly honest. i I kind of blacked out for a minute there. I think... Did I die? Is that something that happened? Did I die for a bit there? Prey and Berry ate you. Properly die. You were dying. Ah, dying. Oh, that's a great distinction. It's an important one. Ah, so it is. I gotta say, I... I'm not really sure what happened there.
02:05:35
Speaker
it as though I, uh, lost control of who I are. Does that look like Cranberry just took over your body? Oh, that's good to know. That's, Yeah, that's gonna need some exploring. I mean, he wasn't overtly homicidal to anyone who didn't deserve it this time, so... Well, that's... that's good to know.
02:06:04
Speaker
Baby steps! I'll put lipstick on the pig, man. I... I'm not sure why anyone would... I don't know why you would do that to a pig, but... Very well, I suppose. Sometimes it's just how it has to be. I suppose so.
02:06:31
Speaker
Okay. So, over the course of four hours, you make your way back to town. And you you arrive... Yes, that means you arrive back at around 6 PM, which is probably around about when you should have been getting back anyways, because the sun's starting to get a little low.
02:06:58
Speaker
um And... Yeah, you are you are now back at the dock. You tie your boats up, you collect your your bags of fish.
02:07:13
Speaker
um
02:07:17
Speaker
And would you would you go back in to sell your fish to Kelly? Yeah, and return the fishing gear and stuff. All right, you return the gear. She's very thankful for. Would you tell her about the damaged boat?
02:07:34
Speaker
ah Yeah, we're Up front folk some of us She Does a bit of a facepalm is like, you know, it's See, that's why I always give out the robots cuz really they're the least valuable. So it should be fine Nobody really uses those things much. Anyways Alright, so you got fish for me.
02:08:00
Speaker
do you should also know um it might just be an us thing but your fishermen should probably know anyway some sabertooths provoked the uh the big fish into a feeding frenzy and then tried to kill us oh that's uh that's no they normally don't mess with us hopefully it's just like an us thing like they don't like us for some reason but you should know yeah they they They've never really messed with my people before. They literally threw a carcass 10,000 feet into the lake. How did they do that? I don't know. I was going to see if you knew the strangeness.
02:08:48
Speaker
Yeah, I don't. I'm sorry. I don't know. That's normally we've we've had a pretty a pretty neutral relationship with them. They leave us alone. We leave them alone.
02:09:00
Speaker
They'd just be out for us, maybe? Hopefully it doesn't matter. Just didn't want you guys to get murdered by a bunch of brigands and then we didn't
Reflections and Next Steps
02:09:12
Speaker
warn you. Yeah, that's that's appreciated. All right. Well, do you have any fish for me, I guess?
02:09:20
Speaker
We have we have some trout, right? We have we have trout. We have trout six trout. We have six trout. We got a little distracted by the attempted murder. Yeah, no, that's that's all right. That's understandable. So that is going to be six silver and 30 copper total. What is that split among the group? That was not worth it.
02:09:45
Speaker
i think we lost money we call use one bait can i get a
02:09:55
Speaker
odds i what are the odds i rob this man Well you did end up having one of one of the boats destroyed so It's we'll call ourselves even how about
02:10:10
Speaker
ah So yeah, six silver. which So I guess that can divide up into five silver, 40 copper. So that means each of you gets one silver and eight copper.
02:10:28
Speaker
Love that for us. That was how much silver? Eight. One silver, eight copper. Lovely.
02:10:41
Speaker
Maggie, if you go, as the kids say. I think you did did still turn a small profit. Because fishing permits are not expensive. Oh, whoa. Well, that's good. OK, is there is there an end or are we camping? Well, they're they there there is an end.
02:11:09
Speaker
if you want to if you want to use it but uh that's up to you i guess go to the inn okay uh is any is everyone else going to the inn there a temple here we'll go to the inn empty place Uh, there is not a temple actually, but the, would you, well would you ask Kelly about this? Yeah. Is there like a temple here? i Well, we don't really have a temple, but if, if you feel like, uh, you know, given an offering to dove and we've got a little shrine over there in the corner, that close enough.
02:11:54
Speaker
Okay, so you go over to the I get a PDF out for the I'm a lot of Dov is responsible for sailors sailors. So yeah, ah typically depicted as a skeleton wearing a tricorn hat. um That's fucking awesome.
02:12:17
Speaker
you you might have actually seen there were um there were like symbols of dove on your boats okay gear it's like so basically it's like yeah that's them asking now for doves for protection
02:12:34
Speaker
um
02:12:38
Speaker
why is this not ordered by a oh there it is da pat of sailors it's not murdered by a how was it ordered by It's ordered by how they came up in my brain. Okay. Got it. We travel water soul for two. I could have been a dog. Claire. Damn it. This is true. However, you went for searching. So I did. I did. You can switch days if you want.
02:13:01
Speaker
Every time he interacts with his goddess Bastion just has like a conniption because it's so weird. You know what she's treated me well i got work I gotta work my way up to it so I'm sticking to it but Dom is still sharing one domain so i'm good to that go to that little area and see what that's like. Okay so you head on over and there's yeah there's definitely like little people leave offerings of like coins, typically just copper. But there's also some like... I want to ask a question. You can piss off dog by mistying a knot.
02:13:36
Speaker
yeah yeah yeah yeah that is anathema to dove you if you mess of a knot you will literally get smited get to know well it just means a dove will be really disappointed in you more like um anathema is more of like it depending on the deity like anathema might rain would range from disappointment to outright anger so if you If you constantly are tying your knots wrong, or doing it clearly on purpose, then yeah, Dov's gonna be like, what the fuck, bro? But, yeah. Okay, okay.
02:14:14
Speaker
So, okay, so, Wyatt's going to the Dov's shrine. what do you What do you do while you're here? ah I'm just gonna braid generally to a Pantheon, but also technically Sursine, technically, and he's gonna try and Spend some time to maybe do some feet retraining in this freezing ass shrine. Okay, it takes an entire eight hour work day to retrain your feet. He's gonna just like- So you're spending eight hours doing this? Yeah. Okay. And maybe getting a drink or two, but that's just an aside. Okay. um So if you're doing this all at the Dovshrine, Kelly's going to ask you to leave.
02:15:00
Speaker
ah Because really to go home. Oh, oh it's in here. Okay. Sorry It's it's it's it's in it's literally in the car. Oh Sorry, I did I thought it was a you know No, it's it's a shrine that we we leave offerings before. Yes, we go both. Okay. Okay. All right. Sorry. Sorry. I'm getting out of your hair It's it's fine. I foreign is a weird. Oh
02:15:27
Speaker
All right, so would you go to the end then? Yeah, we're all in the end. OK, you all head to the end and we will pick up their next session. Oh, so.
02:15:41
Speaker
I'm sorry, I envisioned that the dogs trying to be like be like an outdoor air, right? The dogs like ex exposed to the elements, you know, kind of a thing. It's quite literally a table in the corner with offerings on it. It's what dog would want. That is it. But you know what a little bust of the of the i' hat on like ah that's ever the pragmatist.
02:16:04
Speaker
Yeah, whatever. You'd be great as a shrine and ice sculpture. That'd be fun. So, Wyatt, how are you feeling? ah He feels nervous considering considering they just went for a fight. But everyone came out of it somewhat okay, so he's kind of... He's kind of having more faith in his party, so... He's feeling okay. He's feeling leveled. Bastion, how are you feeling?
02:16:34
Speaker
so fucking tired. She was fatigued. And so she was like, Oh, we'll go fishing. That'll be a nice easy to eat his a nice or busy day. Yeah, Bastion is ready as hell for bed.
02:16:47
Speaker
All right, Morgan, how are you feeling? She's still conflicted about the path they're on. And now she's a little concerned about the whole encounter they had today. So she's looking forward to was to come
02:17:06
Speaker
Thicket, how are you feeling? I need to go to bed. It's been a long day. I like blacked out halfway through it. And ah the remaining clothes that I have are all singed. I just need to go clear my head. this this Dude, i um I almost died. like Yeah. Dude, I got my nose ripped off. This was not fun for me at all.
02:17:35
Speaker
Thank you, Charlie Smiling Friends, very cool. So, yeah, and last but not least, Thub, how are you feeling?
02:17:51
Speaker
You know, all I wanted was fish. I don't know, instead you got your ass kicked. Instead I got my ass kicked by fish, and then I got blown out.
02:18:05
Speaker
And then I blew my friends up. Yeah, yeah. sorry Oh my God. How are we all feeling as players? That was pretty baller. I want to know where the crystals came from. What in the heck threw that carcass 10,000 feet into the lake?
02:18:28
Speaker
I have so many questions that I don't want any of them answered because all of the answers are going to be bad. yeah i kind agree I agree with Emma's. I feel like I want to hear Emma's questions. No, no, no yeah my no, I want to hear Emma's questions. No, no, no. The second that I asked the questions, if you don't already have an answer, your you'll concoct one that's going to be worse. that's right won't answer mike what if i What if I just won't answer?
02:18:56
Speaker
What if I say that I won't answer your questions and I want you to tell the audience what your questions are? Oh, I know that you won't answer my questions. There's several reasons why I'm not asking them, and many of them are, I don't need to be giving Cameron Smith any more ideas. I think I think i need you to ask the questions. We cannot be giving Cameron Smith any more ideas.
02:19:15
Speaker
Coldwell who draws shit at work and hands it to him? you know what let me um my this paint Right now I don't know how but like I don't know how but like half the enemies that we run into with this campaign just feel like just feel like Entities that we would that we would find in like a Benadryl dream ah cu or Like a Benadryl tree that, like like, oh, like a mix of weed and that Cam and Greg got together, drank a fuck ton of Benadryl, and then created the creatures. I would be like, that probably isn't healthy, but also it makes fucking sense. Yeah. Yeah.
02:20:07
Speaker
We want to give a special shout out to our first member on Buy Me a Coffee, Jane Meyer. Thank you so much for your support, Jane. It really means the world.
