Curse of Strahd Ep. 6: The Wizards of Wine
32 Plays5 months ago
Last week, the Pointy Ear Gang made their way to the city gates of Krezk, seeking a reprieve from their harrowing nightmare over the last 24 hours. The city watch wanted no part of their shit, and the Burgermaster would only let them in if they did a good old fashioned Booze Run for the town. Naturally, the party obliged, and made their way to The Wizards of Wine. Inside, shenanigans are afoot.
Could this be Death House 2.0? Not on Lancelot 2.0's watch!

um As you made your way there, you met um the Mardukov family, Davian Mardukov, his family, some grandchildren even, Uh, who run the wizard of wines, uh, compound factory, and it had been taken over recently by evil druids. So you made your way to the place snuck in. You have kind of dismantled everybody inside, but you know that you are sort of kind of becoming surrounded outside with these tree ant beings that don't necessarily know that you're in there, but, uh, you know, vine blights, needle blights, things of that nature.

Three wines, a Pacific cooler and cactus cooler. It's canon.

00:03:11
Kyle

00:03:11
bladesedge
um As you guys, you're you're there, you've you've located the barrels, you've done some research in the house, and as you've come down here to the basement where there's the last sort of bottles of wine, that you could grab to bring back to the Burger Master Dimitri of Kresk and some barrels potentially in the other room, you see through the wine rack a druid and some of these guys, these sort of needle blight people, not the ones that you fought in the forest, but the ones that you saw and slightly bigger coming to surround this house.
00:03:53
bladesedge
And we are starting this episode off with an initiative role.
00:03:58

Oh yeah, baby.
00:03:58
Kyle
Oh yeah, it's it's all coming back to me.
00:03:59

Uh, in addition, the last remaining things you need to get her, you know, are in that room. In that room. Sorry. And, uh, Valerius with that being said, Gilman's and Roy leading the charge down here, Hugh and Lancelot, uh, ghostly Lancelot being summoned by Roy, uh, part of his beast master trait, um, in the middle, uh, Vezrak and his familiar Istra, uh, leading up the rear. You act first. What would you like to do?

00:07:59
bladesedge
ah Because of that natural one, I'm going to roll disadvantage for this guy at the front left.
00:07:59
Kyle
Just blind as hell.
00:08:04
bladesedge
That's a four. It would have failed either way.
00:08:05
gil
YOGE!
00:08:06
bladesedge
I rolled a three and a six.
00:08:06
Trevor
Ooh, let's go.
00:08:07

00:08:11
Trevor
Wow.
00:08:11
gil
Oh yeah!
00:08:13
Trevor
Let's go.
00:08:13
Kyle
Wow.
00:08:13
bladesedge
We've got three blinded, one not blinded. And then the druid who looks like in charge of these things will roll and also has a plus one.
00:08:25
bladesedge
Six.
00:08:25
gil
Oh yeah!
00:08:25
bladesedge

00:08:27
bladesedge
Uh oh.
00:08:27
Kyle
That's huge.
00:08:27
gil
Oh wait, 666, three dice in a row.
00:08:29
Trevor
Ooh, spooky.
00:08:29
bladesedge
On the horror D and D podcast. All
00:08:33
gil
That's what I'm talking about.
Discovering Secrets and Planning Escape
00:08:34
bladesedge
right.
00:08:35
bladesedge
So one not blinded and another one that was in total cover also not blinded.
00:08:40
Trevor
fuck yeah uh and then i'll use that was 5 10 15 20 i'll use the rest of my five movement to go diagonally in this direction
00:08:41
bladesedge
ah But the rest of them are blind.
00:08:47
bladesedge
Cool. For those of you guys in game and listening, a blinded creature can't see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight attack roles against the creature have advantage and the creature's attack roles have disadvantage.
00:08:49
Kyle
um like
00:09:01
Kyle
Wow.
00:09:04
bladesedge
All right. And is that your turn?
00:09:05
gil
And.
00:09:05
bladesedge
belarious
00:09:06
Trevor
Uh, I think that, yeah, let me make sure I don't have any bonus actions.
00:09:08
Kyle
This is gonna be a spooned round of combat.
00:09:11
Trevor
Um, actually, shit. You know what? Fuck it.
00:09:15
gil
citizen and
00:09:15
Trevor
Let's get a little, let's go nutso. Let's do my, uh, for a bonus action, I'm going to cast, uh, Veil of Dusk on myself using a first level slot. Veil of Dusk is a, you incant towards the creature. cloaking them in a veil of darkness. And so I'm just doing this on myself. The target gains a plus one bonus to their AC and makes stealth checks with advantage for the duration of the spell.
00:09:41
gil
Hoo-hoo!
00:09:42
bladesedge
Cool. Um, and lucky you as this guy's blinded, his plan before you'd blinded him was to run an attack Roy. So this guy is going to, um, Oh five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, hilarious. And then he's going to dash past you being blind, not knowing ah where you went, but knowing that he wants to get to Roy.
00:10:04
Trevor
Okay.
00:10:08
Trevor
Oh, okay.
00:10:09
bladesedge
So, which gives you an opportunity attack.
00:10:11
Trevor
Oh yeah. I'll give it a shot. I'll take my quarter staff and just try and clothesline them right in the face.
00:10:16
Kyle
Close my name.
00:10:17
Trevor
You know what I mean? Yeah.
00:10:18
bladesedge
Cool.
00:10:20
Trevor
You got 16. What do we think?
00:10:22
bladesedge
Oh yeah, baby. 16 hits.
00:10:24
Trevor
Let's go.
00:10:25
Kyle
What is advantage, right?
00:10:27
bladesedge
Oh yeah. Cause he's, cause he's, he's blinded.
00:10:29
Trevor
Oh, do I, do I not Tony?
00:10:30
bladesedge
Yeah. Not 20.
00:10:31
Trevor
Okay.
00:10:31
Kyle
Yeah, just look for the, yeah.
00:10:32
Trevor
No, still just a 16.
00:10:32
bladesedge
No. Damn.
00:10:35
bladesedge
Okay.
00:10:37
Trevor
This one clothesline and would be a two handed THWACK, five plus one for six damage.
00:10:43
bladesedge
Ooh, big six damage as he comes through.
00:10:44
gil
oh oh
00:10:47
bladesedge
I'm going to say he makes it to Roy, but because he was running so fast, but you stick your, your staff out, he runs straight into it and flies backwards, home alone style.
00:10:56
Trevor
Well, let's go.
00:10:57
bladesedge
And not only is he blind Roy, but he's also prone in front of you on the ground as he ends his turn there.
00:11:01
Kyle
Oh my god.
00:11:01
gil
Boom.
00:11:03
Kyle
Poor guy.
00:11:03
gil
Wowee.
00:11:05
Trevor
Uh, you do, Bri, you also get to make that, he gets to make that con save at the end of anybody who's blind can make the save again at the end of their turns.
00:11:10
bladesedge
Oh.
00:11:14
bladesedge
Cool. He's still blinded.
00:11:15
Trevor
guess
00:11:15
bladesedge
So I will. um I will. I will give him a little. This will be the blind thing. All right. Now, this guy who's and who who had total cover is going to go five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 around you, Valerius.
00:11:25
Trevor
Okay.
00:11:34
bladesedge
um And he is going to. ah attempts to attack you this big needle blights, uh, pretty tall, kind of this, like the the height of you guys, as you know, you fought those twig blights that were really tiny. Um, but this guy is just going to take a claw attack on you as his hand comes up.
00:11:54
Trevor
Okay.
00:11:59
bladesedge
A seven plus three is a 10, which misses.
00:12:02
Trevor
Nice.
00:12:03
gil
Oh yeah.
00:12:04
bladesedge
swings blindly into the darkness that surrounds you. This school teacher. ah First you saw a haunted house and ghosts and then you got lost in the mist. And now you're in the cellar of a winery fighting alive plants.
00:12:19
Trevor
Just another day in the life.
00:12:22
bladesedge
Just another day.
00:12:23

00:12:23
Kyle

00:12:27
Trevor
Let me tell you.
00:12:30
gil
ah
00:12:30
Vesz_rak
It's like when you see your teacher outside of school for the first time, it's like, I wonder it's like i wonder what they get up to.
00:12:30
bladesedge
This
00:12:33
bladesedge

Kyle
yeah
00:12:38
Trevor
This is crazy.
00:12:39
bladesedge
I'm to say this guy is going to go five, also blinded. So let me give him this. ah Five, ah ten, enter this room. Fifteen, twenty. Also go. He's going to try to go twenty five thirty. But this guy's prone in front of him and he's blind. So he's going to make a dexterity saving throw to see if he trips over him. ah We'll call it a we'll call it a DC twelve ah plus one. All right. He makes it. So he did have to dash to get there. So that is his turn and he'll roll his blind save and he makes it.
00:13:12
Kyle
Aww.
00:13:13
bladesedge
So as he gets there, his eyes open and he looks around. Uh, now able to go next turn, but now there's, so there's three needle blights in the room with you and Vess rack. You are up. You and Istra.
00:13:13
Trevor
Nice.
00:13:27
Vesz_rak
So i see I see obviously three needle blights. I'm gonna extend my hand and I'm going to cast Magic Missile at a first level.
00:13:37
bladesedge
o
00:13:37
Vesz_rak
And I'm gonna do these a little bit slower, but so the first two are gonna go at the one in front of Roy, the one that's not blinded.
00:13:43
bladesedge
Okay. Slow motion, magic vessels, dude.

00:14:33
Vesz_rak
Another five damage, Brian.
00:14:34
gil
Mmm.
00:14:35
bladesedge
As this guy's eyes open, the last thing he sees are, will you describe what your magic missiles look like?
00:14:43
Vesz_rak
So obviously we're still in slow motion. All three of my magic missiles coalesce into one giant loaf-like spider and just chomp down on him, consuming him whole.
00:14:49
Kyle
Oh.
00:14:55
bladesedge
Nice. I love that.
00:14:56
Trevor
That's fucking cool.
00:14:57
bladesedge
ah He drops to the ground. and half of his body taken off by these, by these spiders. The other half turning into non magical plant matter on the ground.
00:15:07
Kyle
you
00:15:08
bladesedge
um Any bonus actions or movement for you?
00:15:12
Vesz_rak
ah First off, ew, gross, weird plant thing. I will move Istra 20 feet deeper into the room ah by Valyrias. So I'll go 5, 10, 15, 20, and that'll be my turn.
00:15:21
bladesedge
Cool. All right. Your spider familiar heads further into the room.
00:15:26
Trevor
Let's go.
00:15:27
bladesedge
All right, the druid who is also currently blinded is gonna go five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. He's gonna go here, he's blinded. I think he's gonna make these evil druids are a little crazy. I'd say you also see this guy, this druid has these like tattoos on his body. I think maybe you saw like pieces of these tattoos on the other druids that you've seen so far.
00:16:02
bladesedge
But this guy has sort of the most like tattoos on his body. They're like these and they're like they're blue, but they're almost like an aqua blue tattoo um over this guy's arms.
00:16:15
Kyle
Mm.
00:16:17
bladesedge
And he has a big circle in his on his forehead. um And he is going to
00:16:27
bladesedge
Uh, he's going to get right there and he knew where Roy was. So I think he's just going to make a produce flame attack, throw it at Roy. Hope he's still there. He has disadvantage on this attack. So, okay. Um, range spell attack. If you're your hit, it was like a D eight. of damage, got a plus four at disadvantage. So he rolls four, which would miss.
00:16:59
Kyle
GG's.
00:17:00
bladesedge
Yeah. So no need to roll. Yep. They both four or five.
00:17:02
gil
Oh, baby.
00:17:03
Kyle
Brutal.
00:17:04
Vesz_rak
He's lost and confused.
00:17:04
bladesedge
he He throws it. It hits the back wall. He has no idea. He maybe thinks he did a good job. Let's see if he gets his sight back.
00:17:11
Vesz_rak
He does a little fist bump in the air.
00:17:12
bladesedge
No.
00:17:12
Kyle
Oh my God.
00:17:13
Vesz_rak
This guy sucks.
00:17:14
Kyle
Yo, this guy sucks.
00:17:15
gil
Dang.
00:17:16
Vesz_rak
He hits his head on a banister or something.
00:17:16
Trevor
Oh no.
00:17:18
bladesedge
ah While the other Druids were spent training their shit, he was busy off getting tattoos, I guess.
00:17:21
Trevor
I'm slamming wine.
00:17:23
gil
Yeah. Hey.
00:17:24
bladesedge
So he slammed and whined.
00:17:25
Kyle
Natural one.
00:17:26
Vesz_rak
No, guys, it'll look so much cooler that tattoos will really enhance my druid casting ability.
00:17:31
bladesedge
yeah
00:17:31
Trevor
yeah
00:17:31
Kyle
Yeah.
00:17:32
gil
Hahaha.
00:17:33
bladesedge
This guy who is not blinded as well, they one guy who saved will go five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. He's going to go right here. And this guy holds his arm out. And at the end of his arm, you see his hand almost opens up his hand, like moves like the tree bark opens to make this circle arm cannon that he shoots some needles out of his arm. That's right.
00:18:05
gil
Oh.
00:18:06
Vesz_rak
That's freaked up.
00:18:06
bladesedge
It's a plus three. A sixteen to hit.
00:18:10
Vesz_rak
That'll hit.
00:18:11
bladesedge
Okay. Uh. You take four points of piercing damage could have been way worse.
00:18:16
gil
Oh.
00:18:16
Vesz_rak
Okay, I take it all. Way worse. The 2D6 on the damage, I'll take i'll take the three day.
00:18:22
gil
Wow.
00:18:23
bladesedge
I wrote a one and a two plus one.
00:18:24
Trevor
God damn.
00:18:25
bladesedge
Uh, he shoots this these cannon needles out of his arm as these needles start sticking out of, uh, those racks front. That is his turn.
00:18:32
gil
I am Groot.
00:18:32
bladesedge
Roy. You got a prone guy in front of you, one behind him, one at the back of the room, a druid two are blinded.
00:18:34
Trevor
I am Groot.
00:18:40
bladesedge
What would you like to do?
00:18:42
Kyle
Um, quick question. Um, so my beast of the land, the charge, uh, the charge attack, I guess the charge like feature says if the beast moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with them all attack on the same turn, it's an extra 1d6.
00:18:45
bladesedge
Yes.
00:18:58
bladesedge
Hmm.
00:19:00
Kyle
Does it have to be like in a straight line or does it mean just like bolting it towards the target?
00:19:06
bladesedge
Does it say straight line?
00:19:07
Kyle
It says if the boot, uh, 20 feet straight toward a target.
00:19:11
bladesedge
Yeah, I think it would have to be. Yeah, you couldn't just go like, like left, right, down, up, left, right, down, up, right, right.
00:19:16
Kyle
Like diagonal and then...
00:19:18
bladesedge
Like a cheat code in grand theft auto.
00:19:19
gil
But you could, you could go a step to the left.
00:19:22
bladesedge
You could back up.
00:19:22
Trevor
Yeah, what you could is that.
00:19:22
Kyle
yeah Does it cost movement to step over a prone enemy?
00:19:24
gil
You go a step to the left and then run like a bull.
00:19:24
bladesedge
ah You could back up and then go if you have enough movements.
00:19:32
bladesedge
Uh, yeah, I'm going through an enemies token on this roll 20 that we're using for those of you listening. Um, you can't technically go through an enemy space. Um, you have to go around their token. You can move through friendly tokens.
00:19:50
Kyle
Okay. All right. Well, and in that case, just for now, just yeah.
00:19:55
bladesedge
Like if you were trying to get to the druid, for example, you could run in between Gilman's legs. Over, over towards this needle blight under Valerius's legs and go get to right there. You would just be incurring an opportunity attack from this needle blade.
00:20:12
Kyle
Yeah, I mean, the only reason I was going to do that is to get the charge buff to try and knock him prone, but there's not really a way that I can do that.
00:20:16
bladesedge
Yeah.
00:20:21
bladesedge
Yeah, you can. If you, if you go through Gilman's legs here and then you, you, uh, whip around this wine rack through Valerius's legs.
00:20:24
Kyle
Uh-huh.
00:20:26
Trevor
Charge
00:20:31
bladesedge
That's straight to me. That is what I get by the meaning straight.
00:20:34
Trevor
up.
00:20:36
Kyle
Where you're not like backing up, going around a ton of different stuff.
00:20:40
bladesedge
Yeah, exactly.
00:20:42
bladesedge
If there was a guy 10 feet from you and you just made a little circle and then ran towards him, that's not a straight line.
00:20:42
Kyle
then let's do that.
00:20:47
Trevor
charge up
00:20:48
Kyle
Yeah.
00:20:48
bladesedge
Just to get the 20 feet. Yeah.
00:20:51
Kyle
Yeah, just be line be lining it to the best of my ability to an enemy.
00:20:55
bladesedge
Yeah.
00:20:56
Kyle
Cool, then then I would like to do that.
00:20:58
bladesedge
Cool. Yeah, you, you have control over this new token I gave you here.
00:21:00
Kyle
Oh, I do have control. Okay. So we're gonna go here, here, here, boom. And I do incur an opportunity attack from this guy.
00:21:09
bladesedge
You do. Yes. Uh, who will just take a claw attack on, on Lancelot, uh, hitting for, uh, five plus one is six points of damage.
00:21:15
Vesz_rak
you
00:21:25
gil
Ghost Lancelot.
00:21:26
bladesedge
Ghost Lancelot now has 14 HP.
00:21:28
Kyle
Okay, so... Yes, correct. Okay, and then I'm gonna take the attack, which is going to be... Oh wait, no, I gotta i gotta roll to see if it hits.
00:21:46
bladesedge
Yeah, you got to roll to hit.
00:21:49
bladesedge
You roll a D20.
00:21:50
Kyle
That is a...
00:21:51
bladesedge
Ah, you have advantage because the druid is blinded.
00:21:54
Kyle
Oh, I do.
00:21:59
Kyle
Man, an eight.
00:22:01
bladesedge
So you rolled an eight. What's that eight add?
00:22:04
Kyle
Oh, it's, it's, it would be, uh, sorry, it'd be 12.
00:22:08
bladesedge
Ah, OK. That's what it does miss.
00:22:12
Kyle
Um, all right. And then Roy is going to take two attacks on this prone guy. Are these auto crits or is it just, would it just be advantage?
00:22:20
bladesedge
No, it's just advantage.
00:22:21
Kyle
Okay.
00:22:24
Kyle
So first attack.
00:22:27
bladesedge
So I believe if you're, you have to use your bonus action to have your beast attack. So you would only have one attack on your attack action because you're level three.
00:22:36
Kyle
Correct. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay. That's fine. I just rolled damage. That's hilarious. It is a 14 to hits.
00:22:52
gil
Huge.
00:22:53
bladesedge
14 absolutely hits this guy but you do have advantage if you'd like to see if you crit 14
00:22:57
Kyle
Sure.
00:22:58
gil
Fishin' for criticals.
00:23:00
Kyle
Oh, it was so close.
00:23:01
gil
Ugh.
00:23:06
gil
Panic at the Disco Song?
00:23:06
Kyle
there we
00:23:08
bladesedge
definitely hits yet new panic definitely not old panic cool
00:23:09
Kyle
I can just use that attack rule that I accidentally ruled.
00:23:15
bladesedge
Yeah, nine damage. So ah what with your short sword, you bring your your sword down, ah slice at this thing. And as you do, you cut like you get the sense you cut like a vein. But because he's made of fully like tree bark, you cut like a vine that's going through this thing's bark like neck. And as you cut it, you see his whole body turn into like non magical bark matter laying on the floor.
00:23:38
Trevor
sick fire
00:23:39
gil
Ooh, you almost got sap blasted.
00:23:40
Kyle
Love it.
00:23:44
bladesedge
Um, and let's cool.
00:23:45
Kyle
um That's going to be my turn.
00:23:48
bladesedge
Let's go ahead and let me just make sure for you. Let's go ahead and just go to ranger beast master companions. Do in combat, the beast acts in your turns and it can move and use its reaction on its own. But the only action it takes is the dodge action. Unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action, such as attack.
00:24:11
bladesedge
Cool. So we're just making sure that I got that right. Two dead needle blights in this room and Gilmond Graves, you are up.
00:24:11
Kyle
Cool.
00:24:22
gil
Yeah, so I see the ghost of Lancelot. um
00:24:28
gil
Charge ahead through my legs and around, and it feels feels familiar. It feels like I don't necessarily deserve to to see even the ghost of Lancelot and seeing him attack this druid, I foolof fool pull out two spectral blades and sling them at the druid. um And the first one is going to be.
00:24:47
bladesedge
Nice.
00:24:52
gil
Oh, oh, oh, we're gonna roll. We're gonna roll. First one is gonna actually be a nat one.
00:24:58
bladesedge
It's okay. You have advantage. He's still blinded.
00:24:59
gil
Oh, baby, baby, baby. We love to see that.
00:25:03
bladesedge
ah yeah Even if you didn't even if you didn't have, um, you get your sneak attack because you have, uh, comrades within five feet, but you would get it even if you didn't because they're blinded.
00:25:04
gil
Cause that's a 24.
00:25:05
Trevor
oh yeah
00:25:06
Kyle
Oh.
00:25:16
bladesedge
So roll that.
00:25:16
gil
True. So that's five damage and then um my sneaky attack damage is gonna be four additional damage.
00:25:19
bladesedge
Well, that's sneak attack, baby.
00:25:26
bladesedge
Nice guy takes nine damage from the first psychic blade that you throw out.
00:25:28
Trevor
Oh
00:25:31
gil
And then my left hand fun flings the second blade out for nine.
00:25:31
Trevor
God.
00:25:40
bladesedge
He's still advantage. He's still blinded.
00:25:42
gil
Oh, that is and with it that is with advantage. I rolled two.
00:25:44
bladesedge
Ah, OK, cool. um Yeah, then the second one misses, but this blind druid has taken a decent amount of damage so far.
00:25:54
gil
Yeah. Hey, let let me just check something real quick to make sure. Cause I know I got these new psionic abilities. I want to make sure I can't, um, I can't add a D six to an attack role. Can I?
00:26:07
bladesedge
No, it's ability checks that you're proficient in and you can expend one to communicate telepathically, which I believe you did do today.
00:26:12
gil
Aha.
00:26:15
gil
I did. Yes. Beautiful.
00:26:17
bladesedge
Cool.
00:26:18
gil
Great. That is my turn.
00:26:20
bladesedge
All right. You stay in there behind the wine rack. Uh, there's one last needle blight who is blind, who is going to go five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and dash and just go five, 10. Feel the druid in front of him, not be able to move through his token because Lancelot's there because there's never an action to move him. So he's staying right where he is. Top of the second round. Valerius you're up.
00:26:44
Trevor
All right, let's go. um I think Valerius is going to cast Word of Radiance again.
00:26:55
bladesedge
Love that. So is that we you ah display that for me?
00:26:56
Trevor
No.
00:26:58
bladesedge
Is it every enemy within five feet of you?
00:27:02
Trevor
Yeah, here. Let's see.
00:27:03
bladesedge
Or is it every thing?
00:27:04
Trevor
Display in VTT. Good question.
00:27:07
bladesedge
Each creature of your choice that you can see within range, which is five feet can save or take one to six rating damage. Nice.
00:27:14
Trevor
Section.
00:27:14
bladesedge
So let's let's go ahead and make those the here's the needle blight behind you.
00:27:16
Trevor
Yeah.
00:27:20
bladesedge
Another con say it's just plus one.
00:27:25
bladesedge
18 for that guy.
00:27:26
Trevor
Save. It's a, it'll be a 13 again.
00:27:27
bladesedge
Here's the guy.
00:27:29
Trevor
It's pretty well.
00:27:29
bladesedge
All right. The guy down below to the left with a 14 and then the druid for the druid fails.
00:27:33
Kyle
Ah.
00:27:36
Trevor
All right. Nice. Take it.
00:27:39
gil
oh
00:27:40
Trevor
We'll click D six. Ooh, for some six damage.
00:27:43
bladesedge
Nice.
00:27:43
gil
Oh, yeah.
00:27:44
Kyle
Nice.
00:27:45
Trevor
Let's go.
00:27:46
bladesedge
Druids looking hurt.
00:27:46
gil
The power of Christ compels you.
00:27:47
bladesedge
Druids looking, where sometimes we'll use the phrase bloodied ah for those of you listening and a bloodied means he's below half hit points.
00:27:58
Trevor
Fuck yeah. Um, that will, that'll be my turn. I will, I'll just hang here.
00:28:01
bladesedge
Okay.
00:28:05
bladesedge
All right. Just next guy that was going to go, uh, is dead. He's the guy that's laying over here by Roy. So the guy behind you will go and he will attempt once again to make another claw attack. Uh, you still have that plus one to your AC. He rolls, he rolls a dirty 20.
00:28:21
Trevor
Oh yeah, that's gonna, that's gonna hit.
00:28:26
Trevor
Wait, is he, he's not blinded, right?
00:28:28
bladesedge
That guy's not blinded.
00:28:29
Trevor
um I'm gonna use my reaction to use my ward of shadows, which says when you're attacked by a creature that can be blinded within 30 feet that you can see, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.
00:28:43
bladesedge
Nice.
00:28:43
gil
Mmm, delicious.
00:28:44
bladesedge
Um, okay. Here we go. Uh, and is that a proficiency bonus amount of uses or just every reaction?
00:28:50
Trevor
It is, it's three times for long rest, which is my wisdom modifier.
00:28:55
bladesedge
Love that. So here we go. Here's his next role at disadvantage 13.
00:29:00
Trevor
Let's go 13 misses.
00:29:01
bladesedge
13 misses with your with your pulse when you see ah this guy can't seem to see through the darkness. um And I actually think because you use your reaction and he's missed twice, he's going to leave and he's going to go five, 10.
00:29:14
Trevor
Cool.
00:29:17
bladesedge
And get up on you, Gilland.
00:29:20
gil
Okay.
00:29:21
bladesedge
ah This next guy is dead. um So, Vesrak, you're up. Ister's in the mix. Lancelot's in the mix. Back of the room. Vesrak, what are you doing?
00:29:32
Vesz_rak
I'm probably just going to stay here ah right where I am, seeing everyone's. Pretty bloody, well, not everyone's pretty bloody, but I'm just going to keep shoot another magic missile, essentially.
00:29:44
bladesedge
Cool. Yeah, these other ah blights, that these other needle blights, none of these three have taken damage. but the only guy in the room that's bloody is the druid.
00:29:51
Vesz_rak
Well, I'm going for the druid. I'm going to try and finish him off, so I'm going to cast magic missile again at our first level.
00:29:54
bladesedge
Cool.
00:29:58
bladesedge
Okay.
00:29:59
Vesz_rak
ah First one at the druid.
00:30:04
Vesz_rak
Ooh, and as that hits, I'm actually going to use for the first time, uh, Sanguine burst.
00:30:10
Trevor
Ooh.
00:30:10
Vesz_rak
Uh, and I'll link that, which is a part of my blood magic. Uh, whenever I roll damage on a spell you've cast at first level or higher, I can choose to take necrotic damage equal to that spells level, uh, to reroll up to three damage dice. Um, so I'm just going to reroll that one.
00:30:27
bladesedge
Cool.
00:30:27
gil
Oh, hello.
00:30:28
Vesz_rak
So I'll roll a D four, cause I rolled a one.
00:30:28
bladesedge
So is this a, you take one point of damage?
00:30:31
Vesz_rak
Yes, I'll take one point of damage. You see after the magic missile lands, you see me take out my knife Charlo car and cut my hand to enhance the damage.
00:30:40
Trevor
Oh.
00:30:40
bladesedge
Nice.
00:30:41
Vesz_rak
So 1d4, that'll be a three total. 1d4 plus one on the druid.
00:30:48
bladesedge
Cool. So he he takes this, he takes the higher of the two. So instead of him just taking two damage, he takes three or is this added to the two?
00:30:57
Vesz_rak
ah He takes it instead.
00:30:59
bladesedge
He's instead. So he takes three instead of two.
00:31:01
Vesz_rak
Yes, correct.
00:31:01
bladesedge
Cool.
00:31:03
Vesz_rak
And is he still up?
00:31:04
bladesedge
He is still up, by the way, sanguine, and one of the most beautiful words in the English language. I've always thought that.
00:31:08
Vesz_rak
Hey, you're welcome. Brought to you by Vesrak, your blood your blood mage wizard.
00:31:12
bladesedge
Yeah.
00:31:12
gil
yeah
00:31:12
bladesedge
And for those of you who don't know that, it just means blood red. It's just like the color of blood saying sanguine. Yeah.
00:31:18
Vesz_rak
And we'll ah shoot another one, Adam, see see how that works for four damage, is he still up?
00:31:20
bladesedge
Cool.
00:31:23
bladesedge
He takes this for damage, these spider like ah missiles hitting him and he is still up, but he's looking pretty rough.
00:31:30
Vesz_rak
This guy's tough, Brian. Who is this guy?
00:31:32
bladesedge
He's not. Yeah, he's not.
00:31:33
Vesz_rak
Who is this guy? OK, last one goes straight at the dome. He's getting all of them.
00:31:37
bladesedge
yeah These druids, you guys have fought, have had kind of a lot of hit points in all things considered.
00:31:41
Vesz_rak
and
00:31:43
Vesz_rak
And due to my Sanguine Burst, I'm going to re-roll this two.
00:31:47
bladesedge
Nice. So do you take another one point of damage?
00:31:49
Vesz_rak
This is like a re-roll up to three. like how do you want to Do you want me to do the ginger?
00:31:52
bladesedge
Yeah. Why don't you go ahead and link it for me?
00:31:54
Vesz_rak
Yeah.
00:31:54
bladesedge
Let's, let's read it together.
00:31:57
Vesz_rak
I'm, for those of you listening, this is my first time playing a wizard, so I am ah pretty new to it.
00:32:04
bladesedge
That is, I know empirically, that is not true. ha You played a graviturgy wizard.
00:32:09
Vesz_rak
Well, for like a few one shots I did.
00:32:11
bladesedge
Oh, yeah.
00:32:12
Vesz_rak
ah
00:32:12
bladesedge
You learn how to weave your life force in a spell you cast, but it's intense at the cost of it. Whenever you roll damage for a spell you've cast for so far, you can choose to take the correct damage, equal the spell's level to roll a number of damage that is equal to your intelligence mod. And your intelligence mod is high, right?
00:32:28
Vesz_rak
It's 17 or plus three.
00:32:28
gil
Yeah.
00:32:29
bladesedge
Tommy.
00:32:30
Vesz_rak
Yeah, can you hear me? I'm still here. Hello?
00:32:33
bladesedge
Tommy.
00:32:34
gil
He exploded.
00:32:35
Vesz_rak
Yeah.
00:32:36
Trevor
if if fell asleep
00:32:37
gil
The way the way I read it is.
00:32:37
bladesedge
I think I know I i read, it I read it the same way.
00:32:41
gil
Yeah.

00:32:48
bladesedge
Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah, you're good. Absolutely. Good, good to know that it is. It is. Yeah. Up to so like, yeah, if you rolled fireball and it's 86, you could reroll three of those D six.
00:32:58
Trevor
He
00:32:59
bladesedge
So for um this, you're absolutely.
00:33:01
Trevor
fell asleep.
00:33:01
bladesedge
So you could also, do you, ah do you always take the new one or did you take the higher?
00:33:06
Vesz_rak
ah
00:33:08
bladesedge
Uh, you reroll the dice.
00:33:09
Vesz_rak
You must use the new rolls Yeah, but I yeah you have to take the new one um So I'll reroll the two so 1d4 have to take this new roll For a 4 plus 1 which is 5 damage Brian Yes
00:33:10
bladesedge
Okay. Okay. Okay. Cause I was going to say you could also reroll that four, but yeah, true. Cool.

bladesedge
Take a little screenshot here for you. He had five health left. How do you kill this?
00:33:26
Trevor
Oh let's go.
00:33:27
bladesedge
Good.
00:33:29
Vesz_rak
Um, this one, I feel like since it's an actual person and not a plant being, I would like to think that, um, this time when the spider, the spider magic missiles, uh, impact him, he gets kind of, uh, a part of him gets taken down and sacrificed to loaf.
00:33:29
bladesedge
Okay.
00:33:45
Vesz_rak
That's my idea of it.
00:33:46
bladesedge
Nice. And go ahead and go ahead and roll me a d6.
00:33:50
Vesz_rak
Here's D six coming right at you.
00:33:54
Vesz_rak
A six, Brian.
00:33:55
gil
Oh. oh
00:33:55
Vesz_rak

bladesedge
Six. OK.
00:33:57
Trevor
God damn.
00:33:58
Vesz_rak
Today, you guys are actually rolling hot.
00:33:59
bladesedge
It's my turn.
00:34:02
bladesedge
OK, so. um
00:34:09
bladesedge
You kill this druid as he falls. His tattoos on his body begin to glow.
00:34:17
gil
Oh.
00:34:17
bladesedge
And all of you in a language you don't understand begin to hear whispers. ah by i i
00:34:31
bladesedge
You hear one word that you recognize. You hear, Oh, oh, say this.
00:34:38
gil
Oh, we've heard that word.
00:34:40
Vesz_rak
Oh, Sybus.
00:34:42
bladesedge
And I do need, I need, I need everybody, all of you guys to roll wisdom saving throws.
00:34:43
Kyle
That's who Strahd isn't.
00:34:51
Vesz_rak
Oh, no, not like this.
00:34:53
Kyle
God.
00:34:53
Trevor
Oh dear.
00:34:54
gil
That's a 15 whizzy from Gil.
00:34:56
Kyle
Well, martyrdom.
00:34:58
bladesedge
15 is a save.
00:35:00
Kyle
Wisdom save.
00:35:00
Vesz_rak
Oh, Nat 20 on the wizzy.
00:35:02
bladesedge
Nat 20 is a save.
00:35:03
gil
Yo, that's three max rolls in a row.
00:35:05
Vesz_rak
I'm not rolling like crazy.
00:35:06
gil
Hey, ah you need to roll a DA to D 10 D 12.
00:35:07
Vesz_rak
it's because i
00:35:08
Kyle
but
00:35:09
gil
If you roll max on all of them, then I think we love that.
00:35:10
Vesz_rak
I think, I think it's because I'm wearing my team USA hockey Jersey in honor of the Olympics going on.
00:35:13
Trevor
That's crazy.
00:35:14
Kyle
Shit, hold on.
00:35:18
bladesedge
Nice.
00:35:18
Vesz_rak
So rolling hots, supporting the boys and girls.
00:35:20
Kyle
What? Why is my saving throws not rolling?
00:35:22
Trevor
10 save for Valerius.
00:35:24
bladesedge
OK, Valeria, if that is a failure.
00:35:26
Trevor
Kyle, if you right click on it instead of clicking it and then hit roll from there, that has been working for me.
00:35:30
Kyle
Oh. Oh, gotcha. Thank you.
00:35:33
Trevor
I don't know why just the click isn't working.
00:35:33
bladesedge
And.
00:35:35
Trevor
and
00:35:35
Kyle
19.
00:35:35
bladesedge
Vesrak was to say, Vesrak and Roy, can your familiars and beasts, I imagine so, but can they be frightened as that is what is happening here?
00:35:47
Vesz_rak
I believe so, yeah.
00:35:48
bladesedge
It doesn't say they can't then they can't be.
00:35:48
Kyle
Um, yeah, it doesn't say they can't.
00:35:50
bladesedge
OK, so I need a role for is Istra and Lancelot.
00:35:53
Vesz_rak
Oh, we need a big roll from her, here we go.
00:35:55
bladesedge
As ah as Valerius, you are frightened.
00:35:59
Vesz_rak
Seven from Istra.
00:35:59
Trevor
Okay.
00:36:00
bladesedge
Istra is frightened.
00:36:02
Kyle
Wait, so would they, it says my wisdom is plus two. Am I going to add that to this?
00:36:10
bladesedge
I what is it say on the sheet that I sent you?
00:36:17
bladesedge
of the beast of the land up a bar wisdom plus two. Yeah. So if they don't have a savings or you just add that plus two to it.
00:36:21
Kyle
Yeah.
00:36:24
bladesedge
So you still have that stat block pulled up, right?
00:36:27
Kyle
ah Yeah, that's what I was looking at.
00:36:27
bladesedge
Cool. Also official Lancelot also frightened.
00:36:30
Kyle
It's going to be a nine.
00:36:33
bladesedge
For those of you listening at home, frightened means that a frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack roles. While the source of its fear is within its line of sight. So the source of your fear is this dead body on the ground. Uh, and the creature whoever's frightened cannot move willingly closer to the source of its fear.
00:36:55
gil
Aha.
00:36:55
bladesedge
as you're all hearing these whispers seemingly coming off this dead druid's body as as these tattoos are lighting up.
00:36:56
Kyle
Chances are right next to me.
00:37:01
gil
Osiris.
00:37:09
bladesedge
Vesrak, you killed the druid. Is there any bonus actions or movement or before Isher goes?
00:37:14
Vesz_rak
ah No, that'll be that'll be it. I'm not going to move anywhere. I'm just going to stay safely in the back. so ah Frightened, so Istra's going to move ah backwards.
00:37:23
bladesedge
OK. So it sure doesn't have to move away. They just can't move willingly closer.
00:37:29
Vesz_rak
Yeah, I'm going to move Istra ah by Gilman to help with, I don't know, just give him some pour next to this ah this Blight standing next to him.
00:37:39
bladesedge
Cool. um As a spider easily climbs over this wine rack in the middle of the room, um separating the room in half. But as he does this vine blight, this needle bite here is going to take an attack on Isra.
00:37:53
Vesz_rak
That's messed up.
00:37:54
bladesedge
as Ishmael leaves its range. um That's a 14 to hit.
00:38:01
Vesz_rak
Yeah, 14, I'm doing AC12.
00:38:02
bladesedge
That's seven piercing damage as Ishmael begins to move away and this thing's ah arm extends like Groot and slams it on the ground.
00:38:04
Vesz_rak
Oh, man.
00:38:05
Kyle
Jesus.
00:38:15
Vesz_rak
I think i can and think I messed up.
00:38:15
gil
I am.
00:38:17
Vesz_rak
So yeah, Estrig gets poofed out of, ah well,
00:38:18
Kyle
No.
00:38:21
gil
Well, bye again, Istra.
00:38:21
bladesedge
Cool.
00:38:24
Vesz_rak
I'm still learning the mechanics if I'm familiar. See you, history. I'll get you back later, buddy.
00:38:28
gil
Istra gets close to me and dies repeatedly.
00:38:33
bladesedge
Um, this needle blight who did that will then, uh, it's going to probably just immediately seeing, uh, this dog ah run up and attack. Uh, one of its creators, ostensibly is going to attack Lancelot with a 16 to hit.
00:38:49
Kyle
Okay.
00:38:55
Kyle
ah That is going to hit.
00:38:59
bladesedge
Okay. So Lancelot of claw comes down and Lancelot takes six points of damage.
00:39:02
Kyle
Oh, man.
00:39:05
gil
Ouch. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button.
00:39:07
Kyle
He's at. That ah it eight dan ah eight eight HP, I believe.
00:39:08
Vesz_rak
These guys are pissed.
00:39:08
Trevor
Thank
00:39:13
bladesedge
Yeah. Is it eight?
00:39:14
Trevor
you.
00:39:16
bladesedge
Um, he's going to stay. I actually think he's going to, he's going to hit and run tactics right now. He's going to hit and he's going to move and he's going to go five, 10, 15, giving both Lance a lot and Valerius, uh, opportunity attacks, but your opportunity attacks are at disadvantage because you are frightened.
00:39:37
Trevor
I think I actually, at least for Valerius, I don't think I have one. I think I used my reaction this round like pretty early for that Veil of Shadow thing.
00:39:41
Vesz_rak
you
00:39:42
bladesedge
Oh, okay. Cool.
00:39:46
Kyle
So, uh, for, uh, Lancelot, it's going to be a 20 and a 21.
00:39:48
Trevor
Unfortunately.
00:39:54
bladesedge
Oh yeah, baby, that hits.
00:39:54
gil
Wow, we love Lancelot.
00:39:54
Trevor
Yeah, damn.
00:39:55
Kyle
Yeah.
00:39:56
bladesedge
Roll some Dimash.
00:39:59
Trevor
Lancelot's a beast.
00:40:08
Kyle
20 equals four for damage.
00:40:11
Trevor
Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:40:12
bladesedge
ah How does Lancelot kill this completely untouched needle blights, never been touched the whole battle in one swipe as it attempts to go out as Lancelot kill this guy.
00:40:21
gil
thought thought
00:40:22
Kyle
but
00:40:24
Vesz_rak
Thank God for land squad.
00:40:25
Kyle
um yeah so as um after he gets attacked by the claws he delans a lot is terrified and he gets hit with this claw attack he just slowly turns around and begins to growl and then as the uh as the guy runs away he chomps at his at his buttocks and starts ripping him apart stick by stick
00:40:42
gil
Ha ha ha ha.
00:40:52
Kyle
ripping the bark off of him um as he slowly falls into a pile of sticks.
00:40:58
bladesedge
Dogs love a big stick.
00:40:59
gil
Absolutely.
00:41:00
Kyle
Yep.
00:41:00
bladesedge
What can we say?
00:41:01
Kyle
Yeah, and then he picks up ah ah his favorite stick out of the pile and carries it with him.
00:41:03
Trevor
Oh Hell yeah, that's a lot of damage
00:41:05
bladesedge
Uh, which they sell a lot of damage, which is great news because it is Lancelot and your turn. There are two needle blights left. One behind the druid closer Lancelot and one on the other side of this bookcase here, Roy, that you can see or a wine cellar rack.
00:41:24
Kyle
So um stick can I make the, do I reroll the save to see if I'm still frightened or am I just frightened?
00:41:33
bladesedge
Um, no, you are just frightened.
00:41:39
bladesedge
Uh, until the start of the creatures next turn, the creature being the Druid.
00:41:39
Kyle
Okay. um
00:41:45
bladesedge
So, so let's start the next round.
00:41:47
Kyle
Okay. So I think Lancelot, you know, he did make that attack on that guy, but he still is terrified. So he's gonna come over back towards me and just, um, kind of stand between my legs. And then I'm going to attack this. How do I ping on this?
00:42:08
bladesedge
Hold down your thing.
00:42:08
Kyle
I guess. Yeah, I'm gonna tack this guy right here closest to me. And I'm gonna hop over this this bookshelf thing. Wait, is this like a tall bookshelf or like a waist?
00:42:18
bladesedge
It's a it's a wine rack, yet it's it's pretty tall. You can see over it, but it is like yeah walking from one side to there, you have to walk around it. But if you want it, you can see this guy's head. He wants to swipe over it at this guy's head.
00:42:32
Kyle
Yeah, I'm just gonna make two swipes across this wine rack.
00:42:36
bladesedge
Cool.
00:42:36
Kyle
um
00:42:37
gil
heaven
00:42:39
Kyle
My short swords. It's going to be a nine and
00:42:43
bladesedge
Nine misses, unfortunately.
00:42:46
Kyle
a 13.
00:42:46
bladesedge
13 does hit.
00:42:47
gil
Yeah, buddy.
00:42:53
Kyle
Or a five damage.
00:42:54
bladesedge
Nice. First damage that guy's taken.
00:42:59
Kyle
And yeah, I didn't have like advantage on him or anything like that, right?
00:43:03
bladesedge
No, that guy's not but the other guy is still blinded.
00:43:06
Kyle
Gotcha. Okay. That'll be my turn.
00:43:08
bladesedge
Okay. Roy swipes over. You actually cleave the top of this guy's head off. And you get the sense like if it was a normal person and they had a brain, they'd be dead. But now this guy's head just like stops right above his eyes on this like a flat stump.
00:43:21
Trevor
Oh.
00:43:22
Vesz_rak
Gross.
00:43:24
Kyle
Love it.
00:43:24
bladesedge
Gilmond, flat stump head man right in front of you. It is your turn.
00:43:27
gil
Yeah, I take my daggers out, not my psychic daggers, but my real ones and I'm just going to go one swipe across the belly.
00:43:33
bladesedge
OK.
00:43:38
gil
ah For an 11.
00:43:40
bladesedge
Eleven is just going to miss.
00:43:42
gil
OK, and then my left swipe.
00:43:43
Vesz_rak
Ooh.
00:43:47
gil
for a NAT 20.
00:43:47
Kyle
Ooh.
00:43:49
Trevor
oh
00:43:50
bladesedge
Oh, yeah, baby. So roll me to D four.
00:43:57
gil
if
00:43:58
Kyle
There's a lot going on here.
00:43:59
bladesedge
Yeah, that's a lot.
00:43:59
gil
Yeah.
00:43:59
bladesedge
Just roll it. You got really to D four.
00:44:01
gil
Yeah.
00:44:02
bladesedge
Yeah.
00:44:05
bladesedge
Oh baby five that he took from Roy, brought him from 11 to six.
00:44:08
gil
Mm-hmm.
00:44:09
bladesedge
You just did seven points of damage.
00:44:09
Trevor
Let's go.
00:44:11
bladesedge
You swipe at this guy's belly. You said, and I think as it opens up or intestines would come out on other people, uh, just a lot of like vines and like leaves spill out of this guy's stomach.
00:44:23
gil
Hell yeah.
00:44:24
Vesz_rak
So much of dead leaves.
00:44:25
bladesedge
Yeah, exactly.
00:44:26
gil
And then, hey, looking between, um what what was this in between us, between ah Roy and I?
00:44:32
bladesedge
That's a wine. That's a, that's a wine rack, an empty one.
00:44:34
gil
Wine rack. ah Do I catch Roy's eyes in between the wine rack?
00:44:39
bladesedge
Yeah. you You guys can see over it, which is why Roy was able to attack over it.
00:44:44
gil
Roy, what would your demeanor towards Gilby right now?
00:44:49
Kyle
um I think right now there's like this like we're we're on good terms because we're on the same team but every time Roy looks at you there's this sense of disappointment but also somewhat understanding um of the things that you had to do. um But I think upon first glance, you see this disappointed a kind of sad look in his eyes.
00:45:25
gil
Okay. And then i I look back ahead and I'm going to use my movement to do one, two, three, four, five, six to be next to Valyrias towards this hallway, looking at the last of the vine creatures.
00:45:43
bladesedge
Okay. And it is his turn. So he is going to run over the druids dead body, right forward, being blinded, kind of bump into you Gilman and just instinctively reach out with his arm and make a claw attack in front of them at disadvantage.
00:45:58
gil
Yeah, please do.
00:46:01
bladesedge
But not 20 becomes a 16, which is still a 19 to hit.
00:46:05
gil
Still hits.
00:46:06
bladesedge
Okay. So as he swipes out at you, you take five points of slashing damage.
00:46:12
gil
Okay.
00:46:14
bladesedge
across the face and he'll roll to see if he's still blinded at the end of his turn.
00:46:17
gil
And I will also be using my reaction.
00:46:18
bladesedge
And he is.
00:46:21
Trevor
noise.
00:46:21
gil
As I get hit by this thing, my eyes glow red and my horns appear to heat up and fire off a burst of flame from in between them, kind of Sauron style, as I use Hellish Rebuke for the first time.
00:46:22
Trevor
e
00:46:33
Kyle
Aww.
00:46:35
bladesedge
Nice.
00:46:36
Kyle
oh
00:46:37
bladesedge
um
00:46:37
gil
For 11 fire damage on a 9 deck save.
00:46:38
Trevor
aye
00:46:41
bladesedge
Okay. Dex, he's got a plus one. See here. Plus one. So he makes the save.
00:46:46
Kyle
ah
00:46:47
bladesedge
So he'll take half damage. Is that right?
00:46:49
gil
Yeah, and does do these guys have vulnerability to fire like the other guys did?
00:46:53
bladesedge
So you, as this guy takes the fire, these guys do not.
00:46:56
gil
Ah, okay, yeah.
00:46:57
bladesedge
Yeah. The twitty twigs do, but the needle blights do not.
00:47:01
gil
So I will extinguish that use.
00:47:04
bladesedge
Nice. He is, he takes takes the damage first damage he's taken. He's still blinded. That's the end of his turn. Meaning of hilarious. You are no longer frightened. Lancelot is no longer frightened and hilarious. It is your turn.
00:47:18
Trevor
oh Nice. um she I think Valerius is just gonna smack him with a quarterstaff or attempted to. You said he's still blinded?
00:47:27
bladesedge
Cool. Still blinded. You have advantage.
00:47:29
Trevor
buts go andage o thirteen oh ah yeah Let's go.
00:47:36
bladesedge
A 13 hits. Yeah. The other AC is 12.
00:47:39
gil
Since he's disadvantaged, would he have, ah or since he's blinded, would he have had disadvantage on that? Cause it's a ability check?
00:47:45
bladesedge
No, no, it's that's not a saving throw ability checks are not saving throws.
00:47:46
gil
No? Oh, okay.
00:47:49
gil
Oh, okay.
00:47:52
Trevor
um
00:47:55
Trevor
smooth six oh let's go just squash directly on the ground
00:47:56
bladesedge
A smooth six. So as we've established needle blights, 11 health Gilman. five damage from hellish rebuke. This thing catches on fire.
00:48:06
Vesz_rak
Matt Kings.
00:48:09
bladesedge
You swing around the corner, hit this guy for six damage. And how does he die?
00:48:18
bladesedge
Squashed directly onto the ground and you see his head like right before it right before it dies, like sort of like meld with the ground like some like roots go into it and his body goes limp. And we are out of combat.
00:48:32
gil
Let's go. Good job, guys.
00:48:34
Trevor
Damn.
00:48:39
gil
And I would start heading down the hall looking for these final barrels.
00:48:42
bladesedge
Nice. Go to make an insight check. yoman I think you, you notice what Roy said about how Roy feels.
00:48:45
gil
Yeah, will do.
00:48:48
gil
14. Yeah, absolutely.
00:48:56
bladesedge
You notice as well, though, that Lancelot. As long as Roy has Lancelot out, the land beast of his ranger companion abilities, you will not get sneak attack if Lancelot is within five feet of an enemy any target.
00:49:14
gil
Sure.
00:49:16
Kyle
Hmm.
00:49:16
bladesedge
As you, you see, however Roy feels about it, understanding, uh, Lancelot, uh, like won't look at you.
00:49:16
gil
I can get with that.
00:49:24
gil
Sure.
00:49:27
gil
I deserve that.
00:49:27
Kyle
Ooh.
00:49:29
bladesedge
Um, you also notice right here in the middle of the room, a secret little door on the wall here.
00:49:36
gil
Oh, I love secret doors.
00:49:39
bladesedge
Goosh, goosh.
00:49:41
gil
I opened the secret door.
00:49:44
bladesedge
Okay.
00:49:46
Kyle
How many hit points do you have?
00:49:48
Trevor
Hehehe.
00:49:48
gil
Enough.
00:49:48
bladesedge
Yeah. Is it less than a hundred? Okay.
00:49:51
gil
Yeah.
00:49:51
bladesedge
Okay. Yeah.
00:49:51
gil
Oh shit.
00:49:51
bladesedge
Uh, and your audit.
00:49:53
gil
A million D a million.
00:49:54
Kyle
Yeah, a million D a million.
00:49:55
bladesedge
Okay. Make me, uh, make me get me an athletics check.
00:49:58
gil
Yeah, absolutely. Atletico. 12.
00:50:05
bladesedge
So with a 12, this door, uh, you're having a hard time pushing it open.
00:50:10
gil
Okay. um i um My first instinct would be to use my Thieves tools to try to make it a little bit easier.
00:50:10
bladesedge
Cause it's just like, it's a secret door. So it's like the wall. You see the seams and you go to push it. It's a little hard to push open. You're having trouble.
00:50:23
bladesedge
Well, it's locked.
00:50:25
gil
um
00:50:25
bladesedge
It's fully not locked. There is, there is something behind it, presumably.
00:50:28
gil
pressing up against the side.
00:50:30
bladesedge
Yeah. That is just like making it hard to push.
00:50:30
gil
um I'll step aside and just gesture. Anyone want to give this a try?
00:50:37
Vesz_rak
I'm a weak little boy. I cannot.
00:50:43
Kyle
I'll give it a go if Valerius isn't going to give it a go.
00:50:46
Trevor
No, no, send it. I'll put my, uh, my hand on your shoulder and be like, think of anybody can get this open and be you and give you a little guidance so you can add a D four.
00:50:54
Kyle
Oh, thank you.
00:50:59
Kyle
Beautiful.
00:51:01
gil
And you know, I could also, I could also help with my side bolstered neck potentially.
00:51:01
Kyle
This is at athletics.
00:51:08
Vesz_rak
So have we heard of the name? Oh, Sybus before it rings a bell, I think, but I can't place it.
00:51:14
gil
It was in the letter.
00:51:14
Trevor
We have.
00:51:16
Vesz_rak
It was in the letter.
00:51:16
bladesedge
The letter it was penned by by Strahd himself, I believe.
00:51:16
Trevor
Yeah.
00:51:21
Vesz_rak
Was it referring to Strahd or is pen by Strahd talking about somebody else?
00:51:21
Kyle
but my not just will try
00:51:26
bladesedge
um I believe he looking at what he said here, the letter said.
00:51:30
gil
I am not Joro Cybus.
00:51:30
bladesedge
ah You yes Save yourself from wretched curse by darkness of that. I have no doubt cursed by your wretchedness I think not immortality your arrogance offends me. I am NOT your former lord. I am NOT oh Sybus I much prefer you as you are your dread lord and master Strahd von Sarovitch
00:51:43
Kyle
Wait,
00:51:44
Vesz_rak
Oh, OK.
00:51:46
Kyle
why not?
00:51:46
Vesz_rak
Form former Lord.
00:51:48
gil
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:51:50
Vesz_rak
So presumably the former Lord of Barovia, maybe.
00:51:56
gil
Could be. ah
00:51:57
Vesz_rak
Going in the notes.
00:51:58
Kyle
I was getting deity vibes.
00:52:02
Vesz_rak
Maybe.
00:52:02
gil
Yeah, I can feel that.
00:52:03
Trevor
Hey, Brian, did my, but did I, did anything happen to my pinky ring when the druid went down and oh that like word came out or that name came out?
00:52:05
bladesedge
Hm?
00:52:14
bladesedge
Um, I think you, as, as Royce pushing the door open, you sort of instinctively taken me and your hand, your left hand is rooting around within this, uh, druid on the ground, like looting him basically.
00:52:30
Trevor
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:33
bladesedge
Um, and it, it comes up empty, your hand instinctively, just that you didn't mean to, you know, even do this just comes out of this, uh, robes completely empty.
00:52:43
Trevor
Okay.
00:52:45
Kyle
um Was Gilman giving me the help action?
00:52:47
gil
Yeah, so um i I have this side bolstered knack ability. So if I can get in there and help you out, um then I'll try to get a little extra oomph through that.
00:52:59
Kyle
Cool, so is that just a roll with advantage?
00:53:00
bladesedge
Uh, so you already rolled one, as a six. You have a guidance from Valerius. Is that right? Valerius.
00:53:07
Trevor
yes
00:53:08
bladesedge
Okay. So Gilman, ah Gilman did already roll. So, uh, I don't think Gilman could help you because that is, that is the typically if you help action is either you both roll or you give somebody advantage and not both.
00:53:11
gil
Mm hmm.
00:53:15
Kyle
Okay.
00:53:21
Kyle
I see.
00:53:22
bladesedge
Unfortunately.
00:53:24
Kyle
All right. So, um, what was the guidance?
00:53:25
Trevor
Yes.
00:53:26
Kyle
What guy do I rule?
00:53:27
Trevor
D4.
00:53:29
bladesedge
A D four, even with that guidance, you push on this door and you're not able to open it.
00:53:30
Kyle
Yes.
00:53:33
Trevor
I take back the guidance.
00:53:33
Kyle
Damn.
00:53:36
Trevor
um
00:53:36
gil
this isn't
00:53:39
Trevor
Okay.
00:53:40
Kyle
Well.
00:53:41
bladesedge
Yeah, I would say at that, at this point, that door is, is stuck. Uh, you, you probably have one last opportunity from either Fez rack or Valerius, but, uh, sometimes the dice tell the story.
00:53:53
Kyle
is there ah Is there a lock? Can we try lockpicking?
00:53:56
bladesedge
No, it's just a wall. So it was a secret door.
00:53:58
Kyle
Oh, she's a whoa.
00:53:59
bladesedge
I'm just going to push it. You're trying to push the wall in.
00:54:01
gil
Yeah.
00:54:02
Kyle
Gotcha.
00:54:03
Vesz_rak
Could I try to firebolt the door to see if it weakens it? I mean, I don't know. I'm not very strong, so.
00:54:09
bladesedge
Sure. Yeah, you fire bolt the door and you. You see as the fire hits the door, you weirdly make an arcana check for me.
00:54:19
Vesz_rak
Arcana, here we go.
00:54:21
bladesedge
Arcana.
00:54:22
Trevor
Talk to me.
00:54:22
Vesz_rak
Ooh, hey, not good.
00:54:23
gil
Show me potato salad.
00:54:24
Vesz_rak
Eight Arcana.
00:54:25
bladesedge
Okay. Eight Arcana. You see it hit the door and like it hits the door, but it's also kind of like sucked past the door.
00:54:32
Vesz_rak
Oh, is it is it like a fake door?
00:54:40
bladesedge
No, I mean they they were pressing on it.
00:54:42
bladesedge
It's real. so Yeah.
00:54:42
Vesz_rak
OK, I was like, oh, it's like OK.
00:54:44
Vesz_rak
Yeah, I'm OK.
00:54:44
bladesedge
It's like sucked through the seams.
00:54:47
Vesz_rak
Weird. Yeah, I don't know. I I'm I'm out.
00:54:53
gil
wild.
00:54:53
bladesedge
Okay.
00:54:55
gil
Well, I guess there's another door there too. And then it looks like this might be over here, one of those rollies so that we can roll the thing up or roll the thing down.
00:55:04
Vesz_rak
Yeah, does this ramp go up, Brian, or down?
00:55:06
bladesedge
Yeah, it's the same ramp that isn't throughout the whole house that goes up.
00:55:10
Vesz_rak
OK, cool.
00:55:10
bladesedge
So in this room, wooden pillars and beams support a 10-foot high ceiling of this ice cold cellar, which is split in two by a five-foot brick wall, which is where the door was. A thin mist covers the floor. Each half of the cellar features an eight-foot tall wooden partition that doubles as a wine rack, so eight-foot tall. So you guys actually maybe couldn't have seen over it, but that's OK. I'm going to say it was five-foot tall. The Western rack was empty, but the Eastern one is filled with wine bottles. Um, as you come over here, you see, um, that's the, the seller, it gets colder, uh, markedly colder.
00:55:48
bladesedge
The closer that you guys get to the North wall, I'd say the seller was probably the cold, the coldest when you were by that secret door. Um, uh, against the wall in the Eastern portion of the seller, there are three frosty barrels.
00:55:58
gil
Interesting.
00:56:03
gil
Nice.
00:56:05
bladesedge
ah You get in the sense. These are the barrels that the Marta cobs were talking about.
00:56:11
gil
Aha.
00:56:11
bladesedge
It's set on them. There's a label that says purple grape mash number three.
00:56:16
gil
Okay.
00:56:18
bladesedge
um And then there is. ah The wine rack in this eastern half of the cellar holds 40 bottles, ah the labels of which all say red dragon crush.
00:56:33
gil
Hmm. Red dragon and crush.
00:56:36
Vesz_rak
Could I take like three bottles of wine and put them in my like satchel?
00:56:36
bladesedge
where
00:56:41
bladesedge
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, uh, I believe, uh, the Marta cobs had said, um,
00:56:53
gil
I would just pop open and have a bottle right now, start sipping on it.
00:56:57
Kyle
The bottles that we don't know if they're poisoned or not.
00:57:00
gil
I would.
00:57:00
Trevor
Oh, that's a good. point with it
00:57:01
Vesz_rak
Yeah. we And re-roll characters.
00:57:02
gil
Yeah.
00:57:04
Trevor
Yeah, we all die in this wine.
00:57:04
Vesz_rak
and ah
00:57:05
gil
and goodbye
00:57:05
Kyle
See you guys next season.
00:57:06
Vesz_rak
And welcome to the first episode of Into the Abyss.
00:57:08
Trevor
cell Holy shit. That's so funny.
00:57:13
bladesedge
Yeah. So he had said that there were three bought there, that there were three barrels in the loading dock, three barrels and several wine bottles in the cellar. So is what he asked to bring back. So it definitely seems like he said several.
00:57:26
gil
And
00:57:27
bladesedge
And it seems that there's a bit more than several. So if you were if you were to.
00:57:30
gil
goodbye.
00:57:31
Kyle
and think we all just take a couple like in our backpacks
00:57:33
bladesedge
Sure, a pocket some or drink some as you as you drink it, Gilman, it's it is not poisoned.
00:57:34
Trevor
Yeah, one thing like considered to
00:57:34
Kyle
next
00:57:39
gil
Great, I hand it over to Roy.
00:57:41
bladesedge
And what was that trip? Sorry.
00:57:43
Trevor
Oh, no, no, no, I'm. I'm thinking maybe it could be smart for us to hang on to as much of these as we can to if, you know, getting into this town, if they wanted wine, it feels like anywhere we go here, maybe if some sort of wine or liquor like would help us in getting in places if we have some extra to kind of bargain with that probably wouldn't hurt.
00:57:55
Kyle
I think we all just take a couple like in our backpacks.
00:58:08
Vesz_rak
Is there a maximum amount of wine that we could take like to the point of encumbrance or like what's like what's too too much?
00:58:15
bladesedge
I mean, there's, so there's, presumably there's a wagon upstairs. So if you guys were going to roll these barrels up, put them in the wagon with the other three and then attempt to get that wagon back to Kresk.
00:58:24
Trevor
Mm hmm.
00:58:28
bladesedge
You could put the bottles in the wagon, whatever you were going to keep for yourselves.
00:58:31
gil
Yeah.
00:58:34
bladesedge
If each of you took like a couple bottles of the, what did I say? There was 40. As you guys said, it was 40 wine rack, ah but about 40 bottles.
00:58:42
gil
Yeah.
00:58:43
bladesedge
i each to you each you could Each of you took a couple. You're not going to be encumbered by couples wine.
00:58:48
gil
Sure.
00:58:48
Vesz_rak
OK, I'll take a total of five, then. I'll take a total of five wine bottles.
00:58:51
gil
Oh, five bottles at a boy.
00:58:53
bladesedge
All right.
00:58:53
Kyle
I'll take two.
00:58:54
Vesz_rak
And then I'll
00:58:54
Trevor
Could I grab?
00:58:55
gil
um Guys, we also.
00:58:55
bladesedge
So fivenicks thirty five You said to Roy.
00:58:57
Kyle
Yep.
00:59:00
bladesedge
That makes 33 that makes 30 28.
00:59:00
Trevor
I'll take three.
00:59:04
gil
I'm gonna take two more.
00:59:08
bladesedge
And then you opened one.
00:59:08
gil
and And then I opened one, yeah.
00:59:09
bladesedge
So why seven?
00:59:11
gil
um And then, hey guys, we still might have all of those little beasties outside of here too. Can't forget about them.
00:59:20
Vesz_rak
Yeah, we need to find a way to distract them so we can load the barrels up.
00:59:24
Trevor
What was, real quick question, what was the label on these bottles of wine again? What did it say?
00:59:28
bladesedge
Red Dragon Crush.
00:59:31
gil
Yeah.
00:59:31
Trevor
Red dragon and crush.
00:59:32
gil
And then I have a little bit of an idea.
00:59:33
Trevor
Fire.
00:59:34
gil
Uh, I don't know if it's going to work out, but in my head it sounds diabolical.
00:59:41
Kyle
Okay Okay
00:59:44
gil
So basically my thought is I have a flask of oil. I've got ball bearings. I've got a hooded lantern and I've got some rope. I want to put the ball bearings in my oil flask.
00:59:57
Kyle
Oh
01:00:03
gil
inside of the hooded lantern, light the lantern and huck it right in the middle of the guise and create an IED.
01:00:09
Kyle
Oh my god.
01:00:15
gil
Is that a thing?
01:00:16
Kyle
We just we just dukes of hazard out of here.
01:00:18
gil
Yeah.
01:00:20
Trevor
I'm into that.
01:00:21
Kyle
Old sprint on the wagon.
01:00:22
Vesz_rak
Are you trying to use that as like an initial?
01:00:22
Trevor
What if?
01:00:24
Vesz_rak
just like
01:00:25
gil
Yeah.
01:00:25
Trevor
yeah What if?
01:00:25
gil
Just like just start an explosion. And then we just, um, try to set as many of them on fire as possible. Cause those guys are vulnerable to fire. So maybe it would create some way to scare them or set a bunch of them on fire or create like a chain reaction of them being on fire. Who knows?
01:00:42
bladesedge
There was, there was both.
01:00:46
bladesedge
You saw both kinds coming out of the woods.
01:00:48
bladesedge
It wasn't just twig lights. If anything, you saw more of the needle blights.
01:00:48
gil
Okay.
01:00:53
gil
Oh, okay. Well, maybe we can take out some of them um and then deal with the other ones and do a little.
01:00:54
bladesedge
Yeah, but there were both.
01:00:58
gil
Yeah. Dukes of hazard.
01:01:00
Vesz_rak
What if we like lined, like if there was some way we could take some of the poison barrels and like line them around the exit and that, and then light it on fire to give us some time to load them up and like work. Cause I have a feeling that like, as soon as we step outside, they'll notice our presence and start attacking us. So the fire could be used as like a deterrent slash like distraction.
01:01:23
Trevor
Okay. Also, what if to try and be extra, we could like sneak along with this whole plan is to try, you know, we can take the clothes, any clothing off of this druid, if they had a mask on and like the druids upstairs and the bandits and stuff, we could try and dress up as them and just make it look like another delivery is coming out or we're taking the wagons to go steal some more wine.
01:01:44
Kyle
yeah
01:01:49
Trevor
You know what I mean? Just look like we're actually a part of this place. to maybe not get attacked. And then...
01:01:54
bladesedge
So I do think, I do think you, you could, any deception check to be the druids would be at disadvantage because they're all halflings.
01:01:54
gil
but
01:02:00
Kyle
Yeah.
01:02:01
Trevor
Oh,
01:02:04
Kyle
Mm.
01:02:04
bladesedge
So you guys, yeah, you guys are all like Elv of Elvish descent of some kind.
01:02:05
Vesz_rak
And, and famously we're three, we're three elves in a tiefling.
01:02:06
Trevor
shit.
01:02:07
Kyle
Good.
01:02:08
Trevor
That's hilarious.
01:02:08
gil
Yeah, pointy ear.
01:02:09
Vesz_rak
ah
01:02:10
Trevor
Oh, fuck.
01:02:12
bladesedge
So you guys are like.
01:02:13
gil
All our pointy ears are poking out from ah above our disguises.
01:02:15
bladesedge
Yeah, you guys are like tall, but these yeah these halfling ah druids, you could fit into them.
01:02:15
Trevor
Yeah.
01:02:16
Trevor
Yeah.
01:02:21
bladesedge
Absolutely. And you could still try, but it will.
01:02:22
gil
So explosion route.
01:02:25
Trevor
Crazy late growth spurt. I don't know what to tell you.
01:02:27
gil
Yeah.
01:02:27
Trevor
It's insane.
01:02:28
Kyle
Yeah.
01:02:29
Vesz_rak
Can I go upstairs to the second level, Brian?
01:02:31
bladesedge
Yeah. So by the way, so you, the stairs lead up to the second level. So does this that takes the barrels and then also right behind Lancelot down here on the wall, there's a door. That's rack goes up to the second level.
01:02:43
gil
Oh yeah, we should open that door.
01:02:48
Vesz_rak
And I'd like to go to the druid that we had killed upstairs and I'm looking to see if he and has any poison on him.
01:02:56
bladesedge
ah You did not kill the druid upstairs.
01:02:58
Vesz_rak
Oh, shoot. I thought we did.
01:02:59
bladesedge
You put him, you put him to sleep and tied him up.
01:03:01
Vesz_rak
Oh, can I like search him for a case?
01:03:02
Kyle
Oh, yeah.
01:03:03
Vesz_rak
Oh, is he gone? I go upstairs. I look for him. Is he here?
01:03:06
bladesedge
OK. You go upstairs, and you look for them. And in the time it takes for you to get there, what are the rest of you doing? As you you see, Vesrec, leave the room.
01:03:16
Kyle
Um, I wanted to take like, I was just going to say, I wanted to take one last stab at this door.
01:03:17
Trevor
Is anybody there? Oh yeah, i go for it, go.
01:03:23
Kyle
If I could, the trap door or the hidden door.
01:03:27
bladesedge
Oh, yeah. Yeah, we can. yeah ah Yeah, you can make one last check. The DC's gone up because you guys have failed twice instead of you just can't kind of can't just keep keep trying these things.
01:03:33
Kyle
Sure.
01:03:37
Kyle
Course.
01:03:38
bladesedge
um
01:03:38
Kyle
Yeah, I'm just gonna press my hind legs against my hind legs as if I have any other pairs of legs. um My legs up against the wall and just try to push.
01:03:45
bladesedge
Cool.
01:03:48
Kyle
I'll be like horizontal pushing my legs against the back wall.
01:03:50
bladesedge
Yeah. What's your what's your bonus to your the athletics check?
01:03:56
Kyle
It is plus three.
01:03:58
bladesedge
Cool. I'm going to say, hilarious. You're going to give them guidance for this.
01:04:01
Trevor
Yeah, or a help, honestly. I don't know if guidance is better or if the help action is technically, but you know what I mean?
01:04:03
bladesedge
Yeah.
01:04:07
Trevor
Like might help even more, like giving him just straight up advantage might actually be better.
01:04:09
bladesedge
Yeah.
01:04:13
bladesedge
I can tell you guys want to do this.
01:04:13
Trevor
um
01:04:14
bladesedge
So I'm going to say Gilman, Valerius Lancelot all help with the door. So Roy, you have advantage and you have a D four.
01:04:19
Trevor
Heck yeah, let's go.
01:04:21
bladesedge
So go ahead and, and the DC that you're going to roll the D four first.
01:04:21
Kyle
Okay Two
01:04:22
gil
yeah buddy
01:04:29
gil
to
01:04:29
bladesedge
Okay. Two. So it was a DC 15 originally. You guys have failed twice. It's a DC 17.
01:04:35
Kyle
Yeah right, if we don't get this then it
01:04:36
bladesedge
So you have a plus three already plus two. So you're going to add a plus five to your role, which means you need to roll 12 or higher and do you have advantage.
Exploring the Tunnel
01:04:48
Kyle
truly was not meant to be
01:04:48
gil
Yeah, buddy.
01:04:50
Trevor
it's not in the stars let's go
01:04:51
Kyle
Okay, that's a six.
01:04:53
bladesedge
Okay.
01:04:53
gil
Come on, baby.
01:04:53
bladesedge
You 12 or higher.
01:04:57
Kyle
Come on. Yeah, 18.
01:04:59
gil
Oh, let's go.
01:05:01
bladesedge
Okay.
01:05:02
gil
What's in the door?
01:05:02
bladesedge
You push this door open and inside you see, you now you see, and so it takes some effort to push open this secret door and you are greeted by a blast of cold air.
01:05:04
Trevor
what's in the
01:05:11
gil
Ice methods.
01:05:23
bladesedge
You see that a dark tunnel stretches for 15 feet, ending at an archway.
01:05:28
gil
Oh.
01:05:30
bladesedge
Beyond which lies a shallow cave.
01:05:34
gil
Oh.
01:05:35
bladesedge
And um are you have darkvision, right?
01:05:35
Kyle
shallow k I do have darkvision.
01:05:39
bladesedge
Darkvision, just so that you are aware, um and the listener. Darkvision in ah D and&D.
01:05:59
gil
You mean to tell me there's a dungeon in this game?
01:06:03
bladesedge
Um, do you mean to tell me there's a dragon in this dungeon? So ah with dark vision, you can see in the dark within a specific radius.
01:06:05
gil
Oh shit.
01:06:09
bladesedge
You can see in dim light within the radius is for bright light and darkness as if it were dim light. So it's dark. So it looks like dim light in here. However, in with dark vision, this is an important note that people often forget with dark vision. You cannot discern color only shades of gray.
01:06:27
Kyle
Okay.
01:06:27
bladesedge
Um, so you look in here and it's completely dark and, uh, you, you sort of, to you, it looks like dim light shades of gray, uh, hallway goes 15 feet to an archway beyond, which is like a cave.
01:06:41
gil
Oh, well.
01:06:42
bladesedge
A shallow, shallow cave.
01:06:42
Kyle
Do I see any and he shapes, any figures? First thing, do I hear anything in this cave?
01:06:49
bladesedge
Uh, make a perception check.
01:06:54
gil
And I'm like peering around the corner. What's in there? What's in there, man?
01:06:57
Kyle
16.
01:07:00
bladesedge
Um, you do not hear anything. Uh, you don't even hear wind. You don't hear wind or anything. You do see that there's this, uh, from where you're standing, it looks like a shallow cave. The only thing you see is this hallway. There's this mold on the corners and in the back of the cave, this sort of on your, on our map, you can see the mold that little like thing you're seeing is mold.
01:07:31
Trevor
Should we go check it out?
01:07:33
gil
Yeah, I think we should.
01:07:33
Kyle
Yeah, let's check it out. Looks like just a ah dank dank cave to me.
01:07:37
gil
Vestrac is the only one um that I haven't communicated telepathically to. um So I can't let him know.
01:07:46
Vesz_rak
All right.
01:07:48
Kyle
I'm going to take the neckline of my robe and just bring it over my mouth. I'm not directly breathing in the air that's in here.
01:07:57
bladesedge
Okay. Okay.
01:07:59
Kyle
um Lancelot is going to follow behind me here, but I will make my way into the cave.
01:08:06
bladesedge
All right. And as you get to this next square right here, we go back up to, you can go ahead and put, if you guys are going in behind him, you can put yourself some marching order as I go handle what's going on with this rack.
01:08:16
Trevor
Bye.
01:08:19
bladesedge
Vesrak, you're on the second floor. You come up.
Interrogation of the Druid
01:08:22
bladesedge
This druid is tied up with pieces of ah somebody's rope. I forget whose rope it was, but tied up.
01:08:28
Kyle
Oh, that's my room.
01:08:29
bladesedge
ah Roy's rope also through his mouth. He looks at you eyes wide and just goes. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
01:08:38
Vesz_rak
I'm going to kind of lean, lean.
01:08:40
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
01:08:42
Vesz_rak
I'm going to lean down and kind of pull my knife out.
01:08:44
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
01:08:44
Vesz_rak
And I'm just going to say, if you scream, I will kill you. That is not a threat. It's a promise. Do you understand?
01:08:55
bladesedge
He looks at you, uh, defiantly and nods and make a, uh, intimidation check.
01:09:02
Vesz_rak
Let's see. Intimidation 12.
01:09:07
bladesedge
Cool.
01:09:11
Vesz_rak
Do I get the sense that he understands?
01:09:11
bladesedge
Uh, he nods.
01:09:17
Vesz_rak
And to kind of further the threat, I'll say, I have a plethora of spells in my arsenal that will make life hell for you if you decide to scream. Do not tempt me. And I'd like to go to take off his his gag.
01:09:32
bladesedge
Okay. As you take off his gag, I am going to make the check for him here, which will be just a straight up D 20 rule.
01:09:45
Kyle
Is this to see if he's intimidated?
01:09:46
bladesedge
Yep. Uh, sometimes in D and D the intimidation is less about if you're meeting somebody who's working for somebody else, it's less like, are you scary and more like, are you scarier than the person they work for? um But as you take it off, you take it out of his mouth, he does not say anything. He looks at you and he says ah in the first time you've heard any of them speak common. You hear him say, you fucked up now.
01:10:16
Vesz_rak
First, I have a few questions for you. Who is Osiris?
01:10:23
bladesedge
ah He smiles at you saying that and. He says.
01:10:34
bladesedge
He says, uh, I think, I think what he would say to you is he, he'd be tilts his head and just very, very vaguely says a dark power.
01:10:56
Vesz_rak
OK, dark power. Seems like you guys are all serving him pretty ah wholeheartedly here. Second question, where is the rest?
01:11:07
bladesedge
i'm an If I'm answering any more questions, you're going to let me out of here. I leave quietly.
01:11:15
Vesz_rak
I'll consider it.
01:11:17
bladesedge
ah He's going to make an insights check to see if you're going to do it or not. So you can make a deception check if you were lying.
01:11:26
Vesz_rak
ah Yeah, I'll roll deception.
01:11:29
bladesedge
Cool.
01:11:31
Vesz_rak
19.
01:11:32
bladesedge
Well, he rolled a 13.
01:11:33
Kyle
Nice.
01:11:34
bladesedge
So he says, OK.
01:11:36
Vesz_rak
Second question.
01:11:37
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
01:11:38
Vesz_rak
where's the Where's the rest of the poison you guys were using to poison the barrels?
01:11:43
bladesedge
He he like shrugs and goes, that's not what that wasn't my job. and but Whoever had the pull, whoever had it was doing it.
01:11:50
Vesz_rak
Who had the poison?
01:11:52
bladesedge
The guy downstairs.
01:11:54
Vesz_rak
Okay. why were you poor
01:11:55
bladesedge
ah Who you you guys killed.
01:11:57
Vesz_rak
Nice, okay, I'm gonna go back and collect that after this conversation.
01:11:58
bladesedge
Yeah. Yeah.
01:12:00
Vesz_rak
ah Why were you poisoning the barrels for, were you poisoning all the barrels or were you just poisoning the barrels to a specific group like the Velaki, the Vistani, or the Strahd? What's the deal?
01:12:15
bladesedge
All of the vats downstairs are poisoned. None of the barrels are poisoned yet. The vats that we're currently working on that are fermenting, those are the ones we poisoned that were to just be sent out to everybody.
01:12:28
Vesz_rak
Hmm. Why?
01:12:30
bladesedge
Mass death.
01:12:31
Vesz_rak
Why?
01:12:33
bladesedge
He smiles and just says, uh, well, it's time to see who can divide death and who can't.
01:12:45
Vesz_rak
Hmm. So you're King, God, whatever. Osiris loves mass death. Is that what you're telling me?
01:12:55
bladesedge
Not my king, not my god.
01:12:59
Vesz_rak
then who is he to you?
01:13:00
bladesedge
um It's that moment we're going to go back down and Roy. ah You step forwards and I need you to make a constitution saving throw.
01:13:06
Kyle
gizzard.
01:13:10
Kyle
Of course.
01:13:12
Trevor
That's a trap!
01:13:19
Kyle
That's a natural one.
01:13:19
Trevor
oh
01:13:19
bladesedge
OK.
01:13:21
Kyle
That's a natural one.
01:13:22
bladesedge
I'm about to say so I'm about to say something very scary to you.
01:13:22
Trevor
oh
01:13:26
bladesedge
What is your, what's your maximum hit points?
01:13:30
Kyle
31.
01:13:31
gil
you
01:13:32
bladesedge
Okay.
Traps and Retreat
01:13:35
bladesedge
Okay. So that's good. So I can't, I, and how many of you have right now?
01:13:38
Trevor
ah Okay, so that's good.
01:13:40
Kyle
yeah
01:13:41
Trevor
It's so funny.
01:13:41
Kyle
30.
01:13:42
bladesedge
30. Okay, cool. You might not even go down and I can't perma-kill you, but you are about to take for a level for a level three character.
01:13:45
Kyle
Oh, cool. That's great.
01:13:50
bladesedge
You're about to take an astronomical amount of damage. Um, as you step. in, you feel as you reach this point, you feel all of the warmth of your body gets sucked out of you. ah And ah you take 24 points of cold damage.
01:14:20
gil
Oh. My god.
01:14:23
Trevor
Good heavens.
01:14:24
Kyle
What the fuck?
01:14:27
bladesedge
as you reach here. And what was already the coldest room in this place so far has become a bone chilling to you as you are the first to step. And as you step in, he leaves your body shivers, run up your spine, ah ah goose pimples all over your body. What do you do?
01:14:48
Kyle
Um, first of all, how many hit points do you guys both have?
01:14:52
gil
Uh, I'm seeing what just happened to you.
01:14:52
Trevor
i
01:14:54
gil
I'm i'm getting the fuck out of there.
01:14:56
Trevor
As am I, I have a max of 24 hit points and a current 19. So I think I'm going to go ahead and scoot my way.
01:15:04
bladesedge
Hey, you guys can, why don't Gilman and various, you can also both make perception checks to, to see, to see if you can maybe glean a tiny bit more of what just happened.
01:15:13
gil
11.
01:15:15
Trevor
24.
01:15:15
gil
Um, and I'm going to do a D six with my psychic knack.
01:15:16
bladesedge
Okay.
01:15:18
Kyle
Thank you.
01:15:20
bladesedge
okay
01:15:22
gil
So that's a 16 for the rule of five.
01:15:23
bladesedge
Cool. So you, you both see, you both see one thing happen and then Valerius, there's a little extra that you, that you are going to get with ruling over a 20. So with the 16, you see this, this heat, leave Roy's body and sort of be sucked into the mold. The mold seems to be drawing heat. Uh, which is why when the Zrak fire bolted the door, it was sucked through the door.
01:15:51
gil
Oh.
01:15:52
bladesedge
Valerius, as you got closer, you recognize this as brown mold. So brown mold is.
01:15:57
gil
Oh.
01:16:00
bladesedge
ah Very dangerous. um It is immune to fire. ah You've heard people have gone to clear out brown mold and have had to destroy it from a distance and you can't destroy it with fire. um And if you do. um Like if you try to destroy it with fire, ah it the brown mold instantly expands outward in direction of the fire covering over the fire, making the brown mold bigger.
01:16:17
Trevor
Oh yeah.
01:16:31
gil
My God.
01:16:33
bladesedge
um
01:16:33
Kyle
Do I get the sense that this will continue to happen if I go deeper into the cave?
01:16:34
bladesedge
Yes. And what are you doing this moment?
01:16:39
bladesedge
I'd say you don't know that's a risk that you'd have to take.
01:16:54
gil
Disgusting. Ew.
01:17:01
Kyle
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and get the fuck out of this cave.
01:17:04
bladesedge
I think that's smart. I think because if you, if you roll the dice and it's wrong and you're wrong and you go down inside, then one of them has to come get you inside.
01:17:06
Kyle
If you- Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:17:15
bladesedge
And if you were wrong, then they would take damage. And then if they go down, it could be a chain reaction of who's going to get you out.
01:17:18
Kyle
Yeah.
01:17:22
gil
Fatalities.
01:17:23
bladesedge
Yeah.
01:17:24
Kyle
Wow.
01:17:24
gil
Yeah, I have a maximum HP of 2021 FYI.
01:17:28
bladesedge
So I still couldn't have fully killed you, because it's 4d10. So if I rolled 40, if it's double your max HP or insta-dead, yeah.
01:17:35
gil
Just barely not, just barely not.
01:17:38
Kyle
like dog I just took 24 points of damage for it literally nothing.
01:17:45
gil
Yeah, well.
01:17:46
bladesedge
um you ah You guys, back out of there as you nurse your wounds, we the camera zooms back up to the second floor of Vesrak standing in front of this. Um, this drew it and you ask him, who is he to you? Who is Osiris to you? You said, um,
01:18:03
Vesz_rak
Yes. Who is Osiris to you?
01:18:09
bladesedge
he, um, I think he, he looks at you and just says, betrayer. Now let me out. You promised.
01:18:21
Vesz_rak
I did promise. Here's the deal. What's your name?
01:18:27
bladesedge
Let me out and I'll tell you.
01:18:28
Vesz_rak
No, no, no.
01:18:28
gil
I let you out from life.
01:18:30
Vesz_rak
Yeah. Give me your name.
01:18:33
bladesedge
Tom.
01:18:35
Vesz_rak
Tom. Okay. Tom. And I kind of give him a knowing look. Here's the deal. And I'd like to, um, kind of cut his cheek a little bit. Um, non-lethal. He obviously just like a little, so I get a little dab of blood and I'd like to put it in my spell book and do an open page.
01:18:48
bladesedge
Hmm. Hmm.
01:18:52
Vesz_rak
Listen here, Tom. I have your blood now and I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to go downstairs and I'm going to take some of that poison for myself. I don't know who you were trying to poison, but I like what you guys are doing. So I'm going to let you free. I was originally going to come up here, take your poison, kill you, but I think we could be friends, Tom. But if you double cross me, I'm going to use the blood I have in my book to find you and to kill you. So what do you say friends?
01:19:27
bladesedge
He says, as he's looking at the blood going down his cheek, he goes, that all depends on if you let me out of here.
01:19:34
Vesz_rak
I just said I would, Tom, and I cut the ropes constraining him to let him out, and I open the door, and I open the window so he can escape.
01:19:42
bladesedge
Okay. You do that. As you open the window, we go back downstairs, hilarious Roy Gilman in the cellar.
01:19:51
gil
Yeah, Roy, that, uh, that was a pretty fucking close call. Need to take a break.
01:19:59
gil
I'm going to check out this room. I don't know if you want to rest up.
01:20:05
Kyle
um Yeah, I think I am going to...
01:20:10
Kyle
I'm gonna come over here to this wall i'm in this room and I'm gonna sit down and I'm gonna lean against the wall.
01:20:13
bladesedge
Okay.
01:20:16
Kyle
And as I lean against the wall, um I'm gonna sort of put... I'm gonna have my knees up like... Wait, I don't i really know how to describe this. but Yeah, I'm just gonna lean against the wall. And as I lean against the wall, you see vines sort of wrap around my my ankles and like over top my shoulders. I'm gonna cast Cure Wounds on myself.
01:20:42
bladesedge
Love that.
01:20:42
gil
Yeah.
01:20:44
bladesedge
Um.
01:20:45
gil
Wicked.
01:20:45
Kyle
ah Or 11 HP.
01:20:48
bladesedge
Nice.
01:20:49
gil
Fantastic. It's a great amount of healing.
01:20:51
Kyle
my bad brings me back up to 17 and just take a chill pill and then yeah Gilment feel free I'm gonna I'm gonna sit back
01:21:02
gil
Yeah. And I'll check out this door to the south.
01:21:04
bladesedge
Cool. You open that door and it looks like there are stairs that lead up Uh, to a room on the first floor that maybe you just didn't check out.
01:21:18
gil
Oh, okay. Yeah, I'll go check it out then.
01:21:20
bladesedge
Okay. Gilman, you walk up into this room. And you are in ah what looks like a glass blowers workshop, you see a dirty window in the south wall allows dim light to enter this room.
01:21:32
gil
Okay.
01:21:36
bladesedge
Wine bottles are manufactured here, as ah evidenced by the tools lying about you, the wooden rack of freshly blown glass bottles on the south wall.
01:21:42
gil
okay
01:21:46
bladesedge
the hearth um built into the Southwest corner and the barrel of sand standing next to it. A staircase descends the one that you just came up from and between it and the rack of bottles shatters or stands a barred door.
01:21:53
gil
Interesting.
01:22:03
bladesedge
So there is a door here.
01:22:05
gil
Okay.
01:22:05
bladesedge
And then there also looks to be a door that goes outside. You have a door to your north and you have a door to your east.
01:22:12
gil
Okay. um And is this just a window that leads out?
01:22:17
bladesedge
Yeah, you have a window that looks outside.
01:22:19
gil
Yeah. Am I able to see out kind of the way that we came in?
Preparing Explosive Devices
01:22:24
bladesedge
Yeah, I mean, it's one of the ways, yeah, I think you guys came in from the north, so you're looking the opposite way, but there's these things that came out of the tree line came out from all around you.
01:22:26
gil
Um,
01:22:32
gil
Yeah. And do I still see them?
01:22:34
bladesedge
ah Go ahead and make a perception check for me.
01:22:35
gil
Yeah.
01:22:40
gil
That's a nat 20 per sepi.
01:22:41
bladesedge
All right, and as I am about to tell you what that hat, what that is, Valerius, what are you doing?
01:22:42
Kyle
Huge.
01:22:48
Trevor
Valyrios is just chilling like between here looking up stairs seeing if I hear anything from Gil and then keeping an eye on Roy as well.
01:22:58
bladesedge
Okay.
01:22:59
Trevor
Kind of just sitting here.
01:23:00
bladesedge
Uh, chillin' with Roy while he heals, looking up the stairs, waiting for Gilmond, Vesrak. You open the window, cut this guy's ropes, and he climbs out the window and looks at you and smiles. And then you see, he does not jump out the window.
01:23:14
Vesz_rak
I'll give him a wave.
01:23:17
bladesedge
He climbs like to the ledge and then like uses it to get onto the other side of the roof and then find his way down.
01:23:23
Vesz_rak
I'll see you soon, Tom.
01:23:27
bladesedge
as he climbs up the window, what's your next move?
01:23:31
Vesz_rak
I would like to go back downstairs, um uncork my five bottles of wine and start filling up my wine bottles with the poisoned wine.
01:23:34
bladesedge
OK.
01:23:42
bladesedge
OK, so that's going to take a bit. So you go downstairs.
01:23:44
Trevor
Ahh.
01:23:45
bladesedge
you go you You go to do that. We'll say that's going to take a little bit to do. um Gilman with a nat 20 perception check.
01:23:54
gil
Yeah, baby.
01:23:54
bladesedge
you You absolutely do still see them.
01:23:54
gil
Talk to me.
01:23:57
bladesedge
So you see, um, you see that there are, uh, let's go ahead and tell you what's going on here. So you see, bo boo, boo, boo.
01:23:57
gil
Okay.
01:24:20
bladesedge
um there They're mostly in groups of five. You see the needle blights that you fought downstairs. The guys you fought downstairs, you see those guys are mainly in groups of five um that are just sort of going around.
01:24:30
gil
Mm hmm. OK.
01:24:37
bladesedge
um They are going around the house because there are some druids with them.
01:24:44
gil
Oh, OK.
01:24:45
bladesedge
there are at least You count at least three druids outside. Um, you also see that there are some of those twig blights. You see like a handful of those and then maybe another handful of those, maybe another handful of those passing by outside. It seems like they're all just like doing stuff. Um, and then you see for the first time as well with the nat 20, you see your first sort of vine blights, which looks like the guys you fought downstairs and the really tiny guys, but they're made fully of vines. I'd say with a nat 20, you just see two of them.
01:25:20
gil
Okay.
01:25:21
bladesedge
ah They look like they are the big dicks as if it goes vine blights are the toughest needle blights at the Medium twig blights are the easiest And there are you see about three druids as well outside ah With a nat 20 you see a druid hop down from the roof and begin hucking it south um Hiding from his own druid kin and needle blights
01:25:31
gil
Okay. Interesting. Okay.
01:25:49
bladesedge
And, uh, you see him sort of stealthfully get away and head south.
01:25:50
gil
Interesting.
01:25:54
gil
Huh, so I don't think I, ah I don't think I would necessarily second guess the fact that that was the one that was ah tied up out there. Cause I didn't really get that good of a look at him.
01:26:05
bladesedge
Hmm.
01:26:06
gil
I don't even think I got to fight him really. And then I went looking in the other room while they tied him up. So I'll be like, Hey, out of our, out of our site, ah not quite our problem. And then I'd look to these bottles over here. And I think about my, my improvised grenade thing. And I kind of just want to start trying to fill up some of those things with ball bearings and some oil.
01:26:28
bladesedge
So you want to start trying to fill up the bottles with ball bearings and oils.
01:26:31
gil
Yeah. These, these freshly made. Yeah. it Make essentially like fragmentary, uh, Molotov's.
01:26:39
Trevor
yeah fire
01:26:40
bladesedge
Cool. So ball, how many ball bearings could fit in a bottle of wine is a very fun, uh, experiment that we don't have the time to figure out, but I would say we would call it probably three D six per bottle.
01:26:56
gil
Sure.
01:26:59
bladesedge
is how many you could get in. So as you take time to do that, um let's see, did we talk about how many bottles there were there?
01:27:03
Trevor
Yeah, fire.
01:27:11
gil
It looks like there's two, four, six.
01:27:13
bladesedge
Well, let's see if it says here, rack of bottles. and index above blah bla blah blah The wooden rack of full of freshly blown glass bottles. So it doesn't say in here, so we can we can now go to the uh, map if we'd like, which is one of the, o one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11. So you got 11 bottles. Each one could hold three D six, uh, ball bearings.
01:27:39
gil
11 bottles, 11 ball bearings in there.
01:27:42
bladesedge
Okay. So you can really individually for each one, or you could just put 11 in each one if you want.
01:27:47
gil
I'll just put 11 in each one.
01:27:49
bladesedge
Okay. Well, you only had a hundred, right?
01:27:51
gil
It's a thousand ball bearings.
01:27:53
bladesedge
You have a thousand ball bearings. Jesus.
01:27:55
gil
Yeah. So I think they're pretty small, but it says ball bearings bag of 1000 weighs two pounds.
01:27:59
bladesedge
Okay. So yeah, we'll say you could double that if you wanted 11 you put, you put 11 in and yeah, it's maybe just, if they're really small, it's just like the bottom of the bottle.
01:28:03
gil
Sure. I mean, yeah, it's like a couple.
01:28:09
bladesedge
Or maybe, maybe you triple it. If if if you want to fill it up, you can, you can triple it.
01:28:14
gil
Yeah. It's a couple of tablespoons each I would say. Right. um Yeah, let's just say each one gets like 40 ball bearings and then that's 440 ball bearings.
01:28:25
bladesedge
Sure.
01:28:26
gil
Yeah, sure, I'll mark that down.
01:28:28
bladesedge
Um, all right, uh, you're doing that. We go back downstairs, Roy and Valerius. It's been about maybe 10 minutes since, um, 10 minutes since Gilman went upstairs at this point, you hear ping, ping, ping down coming to the survey. You ping, ping, ping. Sounds like glass bottles being filled with something metallic. It's been about 15 minutes since hilarious or, uh, vesrac was down here. What are the two of you doing?
01:28:53
Kyle
Yeah, I'm just ah ah playing a little fetch with Lancelot after he grabbed that stick. So he'd bring me the stick, I would throw it over to the other the other end of the room. He would run over, pick up the stick as it floats through the air as as he's in the apparition. And then just repeat. But now I'm gonna stand up and say, I think it's about time we get moving.
01:29:21
Trevor
Yeah, I would nod say I'm ready when you are um while he was playing fetch I probably would have ah Thinking about the fact that my hand my left hand just decided to try and loot that druid
01:29:36
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
01:29:37
Trevor
I would go back over to it, I think, and loot it myself to see if I could find anything that my weird pinky hand couldn't find potentially. Um, and then also, regardless of what it found, if it had any sort of clothing or cloth on it, I would maybe want to rip off some pieces of cloth, like long strips of cloth that I would be able to like tie to things if possible.
01:30:05
bladesedge
Okay. Yeah, you absolutely find ah long strips of cloth. You can take his clothes if you want. um The only ah but so thing of maybe, you know, note on him, he had cast bark skin on himself. So his AC was because his skin had this bark like texture to it.
01:30:25
Trevor
Oh, okay.
01:30:25
bladesedge
um So the only thing really that he has on him is a quarter staff.
01:30:29
Trevor
Okay. Got it.
01:30:31
gil
Thank
01:30:33
Trevor
Sweet. Um, yeah, I'll probably just try and take those strips of cloth.
01:30:36
gil
you.
01:30:36
Trevor
Um, cause I'm thinking about, I'd probably ask Roy, seeing how good of a shot he is with that bow and how he was able to like.
01:30:43
Kyle
Yeah.
01:30:49
Trevor
shoot a dagger out of somebody's hand while they were using the dagger. That was insane.
01:30:54
gil
Shh.
01:30:55
Trevor
Saying, Roy, like what are the chances if Gil's making some of these insane, wild Molotov cocktail type things, they they could be kind of dangerous if we have to light them while we're close to them, throw them. What if we tie some of these cloth strips? If we can get them placed properly, if we tie some cloth to the end of an arrow, maybe, and you can shoot them from a distance, light them from a distance, and have them go off while we're at a safer distance, maybe?
01:31:24
Kyle
Hmmm.
01:31:32
Trevor
I don't know. It's something I'm thinking about. We got the cloth if we want to do it. um
01:31:37
Kyle
Yeah, I think we would just have to weigh out which, which risk is is more risky.
01:31:42
Trevor
Yeah.
01:31:44
Kyle
Like we either risk the danger of throwing a lit Molotov cocktail that is very dangerous to us in the present time, or we risk, you know, I'm not perfect.
01:31:44
Trevor
Yeah.
01:31:55
Trevor
getting close enough to place it.
01:31:57
Kyle
Yeah, and also me missing the shot. That's a very having to do that multiple times.
01:32:00
Trevor
Yeah, true.
01:32:04
Kyle
It'd be tough.
01:32:08
Trevor
um Brian, how many strips of cloth do you think I would have been able to, if I took the time and just sat down next to that thing, so I was like, that's a good point, we might need a lot of cloth. If I took the clothing and just spent like a couple minutes just ripping it, how many strips of cloth do you think I would have been able to,
01:32:22
bladesedge
Just a just a couple of minutes.
01:32:25
Trevor
Yeah, I made two to five minutes you know like while while he was playing fetch with the dog or something.
01:32:27
bladesedge
Cool.
01:32:29
Trevor
If we were down there for 15 minutes, however long it would take to get like a solid amount of cloth strips.
01:32:33
bladesedge
Well, yeah, you tell me, are you doing this for 15 minutes or are you doing it for a couple of minutes?
01:32:37
Trevor
Let's say i mean if we were if he was playing fetch for 15 minutes, I'll say I took 10 minutes of those 15.
01:32:45
bladesedge
Cool. ah Yeah, in 10 minutes, you get 50 strips of cloth.
01:32:49
Trevor
Oh, let's fucking go. OK.
01:32:51
bladesedge
Um, as we, uh, you get this, this cloth, you guys also know that you, this 27 balls and three barrels, you gotta move that up this ramp at some point to put it on the cart.
01:33:03
Trevor
Oh, yeah, fucking so true.
01:33:04
bladesedge
Um, yeah, so we're going to go back up to Vess rack, Vess rack. You have been, and you emptied your bottles. You've been filling them up with this poisoned wine. I need you to roll me a luck check. I need you to roll me a d20.
01:33:04
gil
Mm hmm.
01:33:14
Vesz_rak
Okay. Detroit coming right at you seven.
01:33:18
bladesedge
Okay. Let me just get a piece of paper in front of me real quick. All right. And it's at this point, you finish. you hear You've been hearing clinking, ding, ding, ding, from the door to your south, but you've been busy filling up your wine bottles. And you finally finish. What are you doing?
01:33:38
Vesz_rak
Um, I'll go investigate the clinking. I'm just going to go look for the boys. So I'll head to the door to myself.
01:33:44
bladesedge
Okay, so as you go to the door to your south, Gilman, you've been filling up these bottles. And are you filling up the bottles, you have a flask of oil, flasks are not huge as 11 bottles.
01:33:54
gil
Yes, I do.
01:33:57
gil
Yeah, so I was gonna investigate to see if there was anything that I could see to be combustible in this workshop, considering some things would be used to stop the flame, start the flame, quench blades, quench bottles.
01:34:09
bladesedge
ah There's definitely tinder and stuff of that nature to get the fire going where there's not too much that's combustible in the glassblowing workshop.
01:34:16
gil
Okay. um and maybe ah test some of the wine and see if that, uh, if that starts on fire, if it has high enough alcohol content, probably doesn't, but okay.
01:34:26
bladesedge
ah It does. Yeah, it does not. But you could if you use all of your a flask of oil, we'll just roll to see how many bottles you can fill up.
01:34:37
gil
Yeah, sure.
01:34:39
bladesedge
OK, so that's how you're going to use the whole thing.
01:34:40
gil
yeah ill Yeah. I'll use, I'll use the full flask.
01:34:43
bladesedge
Well, why don't you go ahead and roll me a you're going to roll me a D6 plus five. So you'll at least get six at the most.
01:34:51
gil
Okay.
01:34:53
bladesedge
You'll get all 11.
01:34:54
gil
Okay.
01:34:58
gil
Oh, baby.
01:34:59
Trevor
Oh!
01:35:00
bladesedge
ah So all 11 are filled up because of, you know, ah displacement. The rest of the bottle filled with ball bearings doesn't need to be all the way to the brim enough that, you know, it'll start a Uh, a small little Molotov thing as the door, um, to your north opens, you see Vess rack and Gilman. I need to luck check.
01:35:18
gil
Yeah, absolutely.
01:35:20
bladesedge
D 20.
01:35:23
gil
ah That's a nat 1 on the luck check.
01:35:26
bladesedge
Cool.
01:35:26
Kyle
Brutal.
01:35:26
bladesedge
Uh, you door opens.
01:35:26
Vesz_rak
Oh, boy.
01:35:28
bladesedge
You see Vess rack.
01:35:30
gil
Yeah. Oh, what's up, Fez?
01:35:32
Vesz_rak
Hey, ah how are we going to get these barrels up here? We've got to start loading them up.
01:35:37
gil
Well, we probably just got to push them up together. Maybe we get some rope and pull them up if that's easier. Leverage.
01:35:45
Vesz_rak
ah and what What are you doing in here? but What's up with the workshop?
01:35:50
gil
ah making Making some explosives.
01:35:56
Vesz_rak
Okay. Uh, we're, we're, we're, uh, in a highly combustible area.
01:35:58
gil
Yeah.
01:36:02
Trevor
Okay.
01:36:03
Vesz_rak
Just be safe. I guess.
01:36:05
gil
Yeah.
01:36:05
Vesz_rak
Uh, there's a bunch of wine here, highly flammable.
01:36:09
gil
Actually, the wine isn't flammable.
01:36:09
Vesz_rak
Don't blow it.
01:36:10
gil
I just tested it out.
01:36:12
Vesz_rak
Uh, okay. Uh, just try your best not to blow us up. There's still a lot of wood.
01:36:15
gil
Yeah. Hey, do you want to take a couple of these? I just finished them up.
01:36:19
Vesz_rak
Uh, sure. Here, hand them over.
01:36:21
gil
Yeah. So I give you um three of the wine bottles full of ball bearings and ah oil.
01:36:27
Vesz_rak
I'm adding so many wine bottles to my inventory right now. um so You hear the clinking of like ah eight bottles of wine. hi ah goodlinklinklinklinnklinlink um And then I'll go ah back downstairs and then.
01:36:40
gil
Like a total winerun.
01:36:43
bladesedge
All right. Well, hold on. As you as he gives you those, we go back downstairs. Valerius, you have just taken the ah strips off of the druid on the ground.
01:36:57
Trevor
Heck yeah, should we ah should we start working on these wine barrels? Start rolling them up.
01:37:01
Kyle
Yeah, I'm gonna walk over to this first one and just give give this one on my right a push, see how rollable it is.
01:37:02
Trevor
Right here, get them over to the...
01:37:11
bladesedge
Cool. It's rollable.
01:37:12

01:37:45
Kyle
Yeah.
01:37:46
Trevor

01:37:48
Kyle
Yeah, I'm gonna start slowly rolling it towards the ramp.
01:37:52
bladesedge
All right, you guys start to slowly roll those towards the ramp and Vess rack and Gilman. What are your guys? Passive perceptions?
01:38:01
gil
ah My passive is 15.
01:38:04
Vesz_rak
14.
01:38:05
bladesedge
Uh, 15 and 14. Okay. And. Plus one.
01:38:21
bladesedge
Cool.
Resuming Combat and Strategic Moves
01:38:22
bladesedge
Uh, you at this moment, as you're, you've just put the bottles in your thing, you hear coming from upstairs, uh, rounding the corner to a druid. And do you see this creature, uh, coming down from, from upstairs, right behind him, this creature made of vines.
01:38:42
gil
Oh shit.
01:38:44
Vesz_rak
Oh, man.
01:38:45
bladesedge
Um, and I need, uh, both of you to roll initiative. And the other two of you will be up at the top of this ramp with the, uh, barrels at the start of the second round.
01:38:50
Kyle
Bye.
01:39:00
bladesedge
Um, all right.
01:39:01
Vesz_rak
ah Is the Druid Tom?
01:39:03
bladesedge
It is not Tom. No different guy.
01:39:05
Vesz_rak
Thank God.
01:39:05
Trevor
Do you a bride, do you want us to roll initiative now just so we have it after the two rounds, you know what I mean? Once we get up or do you just want us to roll it then?
01:39:12
bladesedge
Yeah, sure. Yeah, that works. And let me get you on there. Then I do a little ed turned, do a little ed turn, goosh, goosh, go ahead and put it in.
01:39:20
Trevor
Let's go.
01:39:26
bladesedge
Roy, would you roll put it in for you manually?
01:39:27
Kyle
a 7.
01:39:28
bladesedge
Seven. Okay. All right. So. ah vilarious You are rolling a barrel up the thing. This vine blight. You see the druid says something in druidic. You get the sense. ah lay ah little And this creature goes.
01:39:56
bladesedge
It will go.
01:40:04
bladesedge
five and the vine sort of go in and around this wine to just move right over it.
01:40:11
Vesz_rak
Oh no.
01:40:12
bladesedge
I have 10. He would go will We'll go right there and he will his vines whip out at you, Vesrak.
01:40:14
Vesz_rak
Why, why is he coming at me like that, Brian? Come on, man. Hey, whoa.
01:40:18
Kyle
Thank
01:40:23
bladesedge
So 23 to hit.
01:40:25

Vesz_rak
Oh, brutal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:40:27
bladesedge
Okay, um you take.
01:40:33
bladesedge
Eight points of bludgeoning damage.
01:40:35
Vesz_rak
Oh, that could have been so much worse.
01:40:36
bladesedge
Could have been so much worse um as he constricts you. Your whole body is constricted in these vines. ah You are considered grappled.
01:40:48
Vesz_rak
Gil, help!
01:40:49
gil
Oh, fuck.
01:40:51
bladesedge
That is his turn. The druid will go. um Five, 10, 15. 20. 2530 squeezed by this wine thing right here, right next to the staircase. And this druid is going to, um,
01:41:12
bladesedge
this druid is going to take its staff and Kath Shillel on its staff. Uh, an attempt to whack you with it and you're restrained. So this is at advantage. Let's make sure that's true.
01:41:28
Vesz_rak
AC 16 with my mage armor still active.
01:41:32
gil
Hm hm.
01:41:32
bladesedge
Speed zero attack rolls against you have advantage. Your attacks have disadvantage. You have disadvantage with dexterity saving throws. OK, he goes to whack you. That's a 22 to hit.
01:41:45
Vesz_rak
yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41:47
bladesedge
ah You take six points of bludgeoning damage.
01:41:50
Vesz_rak
I'm down.
01:41:51
bladesedge
Uh, Vesrak, you hear a loud, uh, Gilman, you're a loud crack as you look and see Vesrak surrounded by vines. And then a staff hit the side of his head and he starts to bleed as he falls still wrapped up in these vines.
01:42:05
gil
Oh, shit.
01:42:05
bladesedge
And it's your turn, Gilman.
01:42:07
gil
um All right, so seeing him fall, um I am going to...
01:42:16
gil
um Let's see.
01:42:22
gil
ah I'm gonna move towards the door to try to get sight of what's in there.
01:42:28
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
01:42:29
gil
Um, and then I'm going to take the bonus action. Uh, what is it? Um, cutting action to take the, um, disengage action.
01:42:41
bladesedge
OK.
01:42:44
gil
And I'm going to move one, two, three, four, five, um, pass this druid.
01:42:51
bladesedge
Well, you are, that's, you would hit the staircase. So see how the staircase ends right there. So you're, you're coming in this room and there's a staircase ah above you that is heading, uh, upstairs and eventually see how it like continues and hits the floor. So you can't just walk through that staircase.
01:43:07
gil
Oh, okay.
01:43:09
bladesedge
You're like, that it's like under a staircase L shaped.
01:43:12
gil
Oh, I see. And then how far is it?
01:43:13
bladesedge
Yeah. You can't go straight.
01:43:15
gil
How far is it jumping down towards those barrels?
01:43:19
bladesedge
No. So you're on the first floor. You're on the first floor. You're not on the second floor. These are stairs that are on the first floor going to the, they're going to the second floor though.
01:43:23
gil
oh okay Oh, they're just on the other side. I see, I see, I see, I see, I see.
01:43:29
bladesedge
So this where you're at on the map is above you, but this all the way on the other end, 15 feet from you, that is where it touches down on the first floor where you are, which is why you cannot walk through it.
01:43:42
gil
Okay. Um, then I want to, um, try to climb around these barrels over here past Vess rack, um, and fire one of my psychic daggers at the druid.
01:43:53
bladesedge
Okay.
01:44:02
bladesedge
Okay. Cool.
01:44:06
gil
Okay. First one comes out for an 18.
01:44:10
bladesedge
Oh yeah. 18 hits.
01:44:13
gil
Okay, whoops, that was my bonus action one, but, right.
01:44:14
bladesedge
However, you don't get sneak attack from downed companions.
01:44:19
gil
Okay, so that's just nine damage.
01:44:21
bladesedge
Nine psychic damage this druid.
01:44:24
gil
Okay, and then I say, ah you know, ah ah follow me and I run this way.
01:44:34
bladesedge
Okay.
01:44:34
gil
um And then, That is gonna have to be my turn, I think, because I can't move any further, right? Trying to look at all my my rogue my rogue movements.
01:44:46
bladesedge
Cool.
01:44:51
bladesedge
I think you've only moved 25 feet by 10, 15, 20, 25.
01:44:55
gil
Oh yeah.
01:44:58
bladesedge
So if you if you have a little bit more movement and you want to, you can.
01:45:01
gil
Oh yeah, I'll just move right here.
01:45:03
bladesedge
OK, see some double doors to the north of you.
01:45:05
gil
Mm-hmm.
01:45:07
bladesedge
A door over here to the east, you know, that that door leads to the wagon that has the three barrels on it.
01:45:13
gil
Right.
01:45:15
bladesedge
um On Roy's turn, Roy, you're ah who who is in front, Valerius or Roy?
01:45:23
Trevor
ah I think Roy he snagged the barrel that was in front of
01:45:23
Kyle
Uh, yeah, just cause I was, I was rolling that burl barrel.
01:45:28
bladesedge
Cool, cool, cool. So yeah, you're also rolling it in Valerius right behind you up the thing. Vesrak, I need a private death save roll just to me.
01:45:34
Vesz_rak
Private death save coming in.
01:45:38
bladesedge
Uh, or like I think we said we're we're going to try something here, boys. Uh, Trevor and, um, Kyle and Kyle, I'm going to try something here on our system. Not the, not, not a huge deal.
01:45:53
Kyle
Yeah.
01:45:54
bladesedge
Take your headphones off for. Five seconds while I tell the audience what he rolled.
01:45:59
gil
Yeah, okay.
01:46:00
Trevor
You want to give us like an AOK in the roll 20 when we're good to come back?
01:46:01
Kyle
okay
01:46:04
bladesedge
Absolutely.
01:46:05
Trevor
Hell yeah.
01:46:06
bladesedge
So I'm going to say it in three. Two. One. He rolled a 15.
01:46:17
bladesedge
All right.
01:46:18
Kyle
I'm back.
01:46:19
gil
I'm back.
01:46:20
bladesedge
Okay. Everybody's back. The audience knows what he rolled. Uh, Valerius, you arrive, you and Roy arrive at the top of the stairs. However, you act first. Um, and you see through these double doors, you see Gilman just through a dagger and is on the other side. And you see some blood, uh, coming from the South side of the room that you can't, can't quite see what's going on from where you're currently standing, but it is your turn.
01:46:46
Trevor
o shit Okay.
01:46:47
bladesedge
And do you have a barrel in front of you that's rolling.
01:46:51
Trevor
Uh, I pushed the barrel out of the way, but keep it on the top so it doesn't roll back down. So just get it wherever it can not roll back down. Even if it's just right here.
01:47:02
bladesedge
and Okay.
01:47:04
Trevor
Um, five, 10.
01:47:11
bladesedge
I'll get us some different little combat music here.
01:47:13
Trevor
15 okay, so I'm in the room.
01:47:16
gil
I was just thinking the same thing.
01:47:17
Trevor
I'm going to ah Let me see this thing How far okay Nice nice nice, okay, I get here and I'm going to cast aid um Actually
01:47:51
Trevor
This is- this might be silly, but I'm going to... I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna hold my action.
01:47:59
bladesedge
Okay.
01:47:59
Trevor
I'm gonna go, uh... Let's see, that was 5, 10, 15.
01:48:06
Trevor
Uh... 20? I know, I just did some weird shit.
01:48:09
bladesedge
Okay.
01:48:11
Trevor
um
01:48:12
bladesedge
ah You walk in the room, you back out of the room.
01:48:15
Trevor
Yeah, I'm gonna wait and just keep an eye on Roy. Once he does something, starts an action or something, I'm going to walk back, like before he starts moving or anything, I'm gonna walk back into the room right there.
01:48:28
bladesedge
Yeah, unfortunately you can't hold movement.
01:48:30
Trevor
Oh, you can't hold movement?
01:48:31
bladesedge
You can only hold an action.
01:48:31
Trevor
Okay, that's fine. Okay, got it.
01:48:32
bladesedge
So if your action was to dash, uh, that would make sense.
01:48:35
Trevor
No, that's okay.
01:48:36
bladesedge
But if it's if you're holding a spell, you're like, uh, it uses the spell slot. The minute that you say you were holding it, you'll mark the spell slot off and then that will just trigger whenever you.
01:48:43
Trevor
Right, okay.
01:48:47
Trevor
Okay.
01:48:48
bladesedge
Yeah.
01:48:48
Trevor
Perfect. I will sit. What is this thing in front of me? Is this like a big thing?
01:48:53
bladesedge
Yeah. That's like an empty barrel of wine that you guys killed a twig blade in last time.
01:48:53
Trevor
Oh,
01:48:57
Trevor
okay. Cool. Can I like just, I'm just going to sit here then maybe and kind of like duck and just crouch behind this and get any cover that I can here and have eyes on Roy.
01:49:00
bladesedge
casket of wine, like they like they make wine in that.
01:49:08
Kyle
you
01:49:13
Trevor
And as soon as he starts moving or do any sort of
01:49:15
bladesedge
ah you're Are you pinging Gilman and saying Roy?
01:49:18
Trevor
Jesus Christ. Yes. Yes, I am. And Gilman is who I mean.
01:49:21
bladesedge
Okay. So do you mean Gilman? Okay.
01:49:23
Trevor
Gilman is who I mean. As soon as Gil starts moving or takes any sort of action or starts to take an action, I'm going to cast a spell.
01:49:31
bladesedge
OK, and so does aid require line of sight?
01:49:35
Trevor
Uh, your spell bolsters your allies. with huton centers off Choose up to three creatures within range. Each target's hit points, but yeah, yeah.
01:49:41
bladesedge
Cool. So not does not require a line of sight.
01:49:43
Trevor
So it's just, nope, just three targets within range.
01:49:46
bladesedge
OK.
01:49:47
Trevor
Yeah.
01:49:48
bladesedge
All right, cool. You duck down behind this empty cask holding an aid spell. It is this vine blight's turn who will just Uh, let go of as Rax body and go five, 10 right here. And then it's going to, um, but but
01:50:14
Trevor

01:50:17
bladesedge
yeah, it's pretty cool. Pretty cool stuff.
01:50:18
gil
Yeah, it looks rad.
01:50:20
bladesedge
I think I sent the picture of the three of them at one point.
01:50:24
Kyle
Yeah.
01:50:25
bladesedge
Maybe last time here, I can show you now again, show you guys this is he's the he's sort of the.

01:50:38
Trevor

bladesedge
Cool. Um, all right. He is going to do something here and we're going to see if this is smart of me here.
01:50:47
Trevor
Bye.
01:50:55
bladesedge
Uh, any creature in that area.
01:50:58
gil
Oh yeah.
01:51:00
bladesedge
Okay. Okay. Cool. Um, where, from where the vine blight is. He sticks his fists into the ground and 15 feet from him in every direction. Uh, going over Gilman's going this way, going this way. Um, sprouting from the ground are these like plants that attempt to entangle you. So I will need Gil.
01:51:29
gil
Yikes.
01:51:31
bladesedge
I will need a strength saving throw.
01:51:34
gil
Oh goodness.
01:51:37
gil
Flat 10. Um, and then can I use my psionic Knack on that?
01:51:39
bladesedge
What the, okay.
01:51:42
gil
Or is that just for now?
01:51:43
bladesedge
No, that's a abilities.
01:51:44
gil
Damn. Okay.
01:51:46
bladesedge
So your speed, you are restrained.
01:51:47
gil
Okay.
01:51:48
bladesedge
Your speed becomes zero. You can't benefit from any bonus to your speed attack roles against you have advantage. Your attack roles have disadvantage. You have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws.
Thunder Wave and Battle's Turning Point
01:51:57
bladesedge
That is the, uh, vine blights turn, however.
01:52:02
gil
Okay.
01:52:03
bladesedge
The Druid is going to follow you this way and go five, 10, 15, 20, 25.
01:52:13
Trevor
She wouldn't have been in those entangled things, would she?
01:52:16
bladesedge
Uh, it's creatures that it can, it it can choose who.
01:52:19
Trevor
Oh, OK.
01:52:19
bladesedge
Yeah. Um, cool. So it's going to, a druid is going to do something here. And you see Valerius, even from sitting behind this thing, Gilman, you you see this entire wine casket in front of this druid be utterly fucking destroyed as this druid casts thunder wave at you, Gilman.
01:52:39
Trevor
Ooh.
01:52:39
Vesz_rak
Sick, sick.
01:52:40
gil
Oh, shit.
01:52:40
Kyle
Oh my god.
01:52:42
bladesedge
Uh, and, uh, Gilman, I need you to make a constitution saving throw.
01:52:47
gil
Okay, coming at you.
01:52:49
bladesedge
Luckily, this is just straight. No disadvantage from the restrained.
01:52:52
gil
It's just a five.
01:52:53
bladesedge
Okay. Five is a failure.
01:52:54
Kyle
I'm not feeling good.
01:52:57
bladesedge
So you take, uh, nine points of thunder damage.
01:53:01
gil
Okay.
01:53:04
bladesedge
As you're covered in this poisoned wine, there's no mechanical effect from that.
01:53:04
gil
And am I...
01:53:08
bladesedge
ah Thrown 10 feet back, but there's nowhere for you to really go. You sort of just hit this wall behind you and you're restrained any who can't move you because your speed is zero. um ah Thunder waves you for nine points of thunder damage that will be. Mark off the sped that spell for this.
01:53:26
gil
Do I get slammed through the door?
01:53:29
bladesedge
Um, I, if you were, I guess, yeah, there's no token right in the middle. Let's, let's roll for it.
01:53:35
gil
Yeah.
01:53:36
bladesedge
I say on a, uh, you want one to 10 or you want 11 to 20.
01:53:42
gil
I want 11 to 20 because that's not what I roll lately.
01:53:45
bladesedge
Okay. You want to roll it then? Or you want me to roll it?
01:53:45
Kyle
Heh.
01:53:47
gil
No, yeah, I want to roll it. I'm going to roll it.
01:53:49
bladesedge
Okay. Okay.
01:53:50
gil
11 or 20.
01:53:51
bladesedge
So on 11 to 20, you get thrown through.
01:53:51
gil
Yeah.
01:53:55
bladesedge
Okay. You don't get thrown through the door.
01:53:57
gil
I got an eight.
01:53:58
bladesedge
just bounced up against it and the wall.
01:54:00
gil
good Is it blood or wine coming out of my mouth?
01:54:02
bladesedge
um And it is a little bit of both and Gilman, it is your turn.
01:54:11
gil
Um, yeah, I am looking over at, um, Vess rack and I'm looking past, um, or looking a little closer at this Druid that just absolutely got me fucking covered. And with my Shadow's dagger reach, I'm going to make an attack with that instead.
01:54:34
bladesedge
OK.
01:54:35
gil
um So with my Shadow Strike, I'm reaching out with just one of my normal daggers for a 19.
01:54:42
bladesedge
OK, your shadow whips up, takes one of your daggers and your shadow comes to life stabbing this druid as your shadow sha stabs this druid for. ah um I'll let you roll that damage. Valyrias's aid spell goes off. Vesrak, you are up at five HP.
01:55:00
Vesz_rak
Let's go.
01:55:01
bladesedge
And your hip point maximum is increased by five Gilman.
01:55:01
gil
Let's go Wow.
01:55:01
Kyle
yeah
01:55:04
bladesedge
You get five HP and your hip point maximum increases by five Roy, you get five HP and your hip point maximum increases by five and Valerius.
01:55:07
Kyle
Let's go.
01:55:11
Trevor
Hell yeah.
01:55:13
bladesedge
Uh, so just keep track by the way, guys, that your hip point maximum increases by five, but once this is it over, uh, it goes back.
01:55:13
Trevor
oh
01:55:23
bladesedge
So just make sure that you don't leave it on your character sheet for whatever.
01:55:24
Vesz_rak
If you insist.
01:55:26
gil
Yeah. And then with my bonus action, I'm going to use one of my soul knives to try to split this thing's throat.
01:55:31
Vesz_rak
Okay.
01:55:33
bladesedge
OK, so it takes seven damage. OK, they're not hilarious. It takes seven damage from the shadow knife. ah Sixteen is pizza pizza. You can see it cast barkskin before it came downstairs. These things were on the second level in rooms. You guys did not check out.
01:55:49
gil
Nice. Um, and then nine psychic damage.
01:55:51
bladesedge
So the the bonus, the bonus one is a D four, though, but it does keep your plus.
01:55:58
gil
Oh yeah, I can i can roll a d4.
01:56:00
bladesedge
So we made D four plus and we'll add four to it.
01:56:00
gil
That's my bad. Bony section.
01:56:09
bladesedge
Okay, for another six points of damage, this druid is looking rough.
01:56:15
bladesedge
ah But he is still up.
01:56:15
gil
Oh.
01:56:18
gil
Yeah, awesome.
01:56:19
bladesedge
And Gilman, you are still restrained.
01:56:21
gil
Thank you, Valerius. That is my turn.
01:56:24
bladesedge
Roy, you're in the hallway. You've just heard a massive thunderclap, which you get the sense potentially, which potentially this is going to be interesting. The people outside heard this thunderclap as well from this druid casting it.
01:56:36
Kyle
Yeah. Yeah.
01:56:39
bladesedge
So you guys are getting the sense that the clock is now ticking to, first of all, get out of this combat.
01:56:43
Kyle
yeah
01:56:45
bladesedge
And second of all, figure out a way to leave this place, as the things outside now know that they've heard something.
01:56:51
Kyle
yeah
01:56:54
bladesedge
you know But it is your turn.
01:56:56
Vesz_rak
We got to hurry up and get those barrels.
01:56:56
Kyle
Um.
01:56:57
bladesedge
Barrel barrel at your feet.
01:57:03
Kyle
All right, I'm going to enter this doorway here.
01:57:06
bladesedge
Lancelot's right here. Yes.
01:57:08
Kyle
That's five, 10, 15, 20. And then as I'm heading towards the the vine blight, I'm gonna look at him and focus on him and cast Hunter's Mark, um which is a bonus action. And then every time I attack him, I do an extra 1d6 damage to the target.
01:57:31
bladesedge
Love that.
01:57:33
Kyle
So as I focus in on him, my peripheral vision kind of becomes shadowy and the vine blight brightens up in the center. So I have like a vignette around my eyes as I lock in on this creature.
01:57:48
bladesedge
Oh, we we.
01:57:51
Kyle
Libby. um
01:57:52
bladesedge
I love that.
01:57:54
Kyle
a
01:57:56
bladesedge
I'm picturing you wearing a beret. Just did you mean vignette? No, no, no, no.
01:58:01
Kyle
Vignette.
01:58:02
bladesedge
Vignette. I love that. I do have unfortunate news for you, which is that the minute you enter this thing's entangling roots that are on the ground, I need you to make a strength save.
01:58:12
Kyle
Oh, I love that. I love that. I think that's awesome and cool. 11.
01:58:19
bladesedge
ah you step over You step past Gilman and the ah vines from the ground wrap around your legs and you are also restrained.
01:58:31
gil
Suboptimal.
01:58:34
bladesedge

01:58:34
Kyle
Love this.
01:58:35
Trevor
ah yeah fools
01:58:39
bladesedge
You can attack this thing or you can use your action to try to get out of this restrained condition.
01:58:48
Kyle
I'm going to attack it with my longbow.
01:58:53
bladesedge
The side, the long side.
01:58:55
Trevor
I like i liked the sniffle as soon as he got restrained.
01:58:56
bladesedge
Okay.
01:58:59
bladesedge
Yeah. It's like, but, but dude, I'm not feeling great.
01:59:01
Trevor
Dang it.
01:59:02
bladesedge
Are you sure?
01:59:03
Trevor
but yeah
01:59:03
Kyle
ah
01:59:06
Trevor
Haha.
01:59:07
Kyle
13.
01:59:08
bladesedge
13 hits. So you'll roll your damage and you add a D six.
01:59:11
Kyle
It's going to be 11 damage.
01:59:15
bladesedge
Oh, max.
01:59:15
gil
Mmm.
01:59:16
Vesz_rak
Ooh, big damn.
01:59:17
Kyle
Plus... another 3 damage.
01:59:20
bladesedge
Nice. ah You ah damage this thing and he is ah hurting this this big a tangle of vines, but he is still up.
01:59:34
Kyle
Gotcha. And then, um... Lancelot is gonna... come in. That's five, ten, fifteen, twenty... Twenty-five, and then just stand here, stand back here, and-and bark.
01:59:46
bladesedge
Cool.
01:59:48
Kyle
And drool at the thought of picking apart this dude's...
01:59:52
bladesedge
Those guys vines, all vines.
01:59:53
Kyle
woody skin.
01:59:56
Kyle
Guy's vines.
01:59:57
bladesedge
Um, yeah, he takes the dodge action. If you ever don't give him a thing, he's dodge action. So a attacks against Lancelot of disadvantage.
02:00:03
Kyle
Oh.
02:00:04
bladesedge
All right. That is Royster and Fez rack. You're prone, but you're up.
02:00:10
Vesz_rak
I'd like to use half my movement to stand up. And looking at the druid who knocked me down, I'm just gonna start sending magic missiles out at first level again.
02:00:19
bladesedge
Nice. Yeah, his back's to you. He just said all this thunder wave. He thought you were down for the count.
02:00:23
Vesz_rak
Yeah, I'm pissed. Here's the first one.
02:00:26
bladesedge
OK.
02:00:27
Vesz_rak
Ooh, two damage. I'm just gonna, a two damage.
02:00:29
bladesedge

02:00:31
bladesedge
Hits him in the back. He starts to turn around as the first one hits him.
02:00:34
Vesz_rak
Three damage on the second one.
02:00:35
bladesedge
And as the second one hits him, he turns around just in time to get one right through the forehead, and he drops dead.
02:00:42
Trevor
Oh, let's go.
02:00:44
Vesz_rak
And then I'm going to take one step back, backwards, kind of finger gun out. Ooh, I don't want to step in that green thing. I saw what happened with Roy. Can I see the bye bye from where I am?
02:00:51
bladesedge
yeah ah Yeah, also magic missile can curve around corners.
02:00:57
Vesz_rak
Oh yeah, do wanted stylies.
02:00:57
Trevor

02:00:58
Kyle

02:00:59
Vesz_rak
I'm going to, I'm curving the magic missile around it.
02:00:59
Kyle
Just like that one movie.
02:01:01
Trevor
It's like that one movie.
02:01:02
Kyle
Yeah. let's go
02:01:02
bladesedge

Vesz_rak
That's a deep cut magic missile coming at you.
02:01:06
Kyle

bladesedge
Roll that damage, cool, hurting, but still up.
02:01:10
Vesz_rak
Another three damage.
02:01:14
Vesz_rak
And then I'm gonna use, let's say I used half my movement, so I have 15 more feet. So I'm gonna move right here, 15 feet towards the door, towards the where I know the wagon is and say, we gotta load up the barrels, we gotta get out of here. They heard the thunder wave, we gotta to go.
02:01:30
bladesedge
Cool. There are still 27 bottles downstairs.
02:01:33
Vesz_rak

bladesedge
As well.
02:01:35
Trevor

bladesedge
Hey, if you don't know, you start loading the.
02:02:09
Trevor
I don't know. I know. I kind of want to. I almost want to hold another act. Can I actually use my action to try? Like if I wanted to go, you can move through friendly space, right?
02:02:23
bladesedge
Yes.
02:02:24
Trevor
Can I go like five, 10 and try and help Gil out of this?
02:02:26
bladesedge
Hmm.
02:02:30
bladesedge
Um, yeah, you can use your action.
02:02:31
Trevor
Like, yeah, yeah.
02:02:32
bladesedge
Cool. Um, so to, to get out of this, it is an action to make a DC 12 strength check to free itself or another entangled creature.
02:02:45
bladesedge
So it is a strength check, but you never know.
02:02:45
Trevor
okay
02:02:51
gil
Where's my big strong boy?
02:02:53
Trevor
Okay Dude i'm I'm right behind you, but i'm I'm not that big and strong.
02:02:55
bladesedge
Oh,
02:02:57
Trevor
I'm really close, but I'm not quite that big and strong.
02:02:57
Kyle
Off.
02:02:59
Vesz_rak
Oh no.
02:03:00
Trevor
I'm so sorry
02:03:01
gil
But my psionic knack.
02:03:04
bladesedge
Um, if you can use it for other people can you, or is it just for you?
02:03:07
gil
No, I think it's just for me.
02:03:09
bladesedge
All right. So you go to lift them out and you cannot any movement or bonus actions, double doors to the north of you, the door you came out, double doors to the east.
02:03:10
gil
Be a lot cooler though.
02:03:14
Trevor
All right, um I'm going to, yeah, let's see, I want five 10. Do I have any fucking cool bonus actions?
02:03:30
Trevor
ah No, I'm just gonna scoot back and keep eyes on these barrels and make sure that they're not going anywhere. I want five 10 to get there. I'm gonna go 15 20. Uh, to get back to where I was while staying in range of, you know, I'll go 25 just to be safe right there.
02:03:51
bladesedge
Cool. Right in front of the double doors all the way to the east. All right.
02:03:56
Trevor
Yes, sir.
02:03:56
bladesedge
And is that your turn? Yeah. yeah um Is that your turn?
02:03:59
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. That'll that's my turn.
02:04:01
bladesedge
OK, cool. The vine blight's going to go um and he's going to move ah five feet towards you, Roy. Whoops. ah This vine blight comes towards you and a ah a mass of vines come up to arms that are going to attempt to hit you, Roy, and constrict you.
02:04:21
Kyle
Okay.
02:04:22
bladesedge
Um, so this is an attack at advantage cause you are restrained.
02:04:28
Kyle
That does it.
02:04:28
bladesedge
That's going to be a 22 to hit.
02:04:30
Vesz_rak
He's rolling hot.
02:04:33
bladesedge
All right. That's seven points of bludgeoning damage and you are also grappled.
02:04:39
Kyle
I
02:04:42
bladesedge
So you are restrained and you are grappled.
02:04:46
gil
Ugh.
02:04:46
Kyle
love that.
02:04:48
bladesedge
Uh, you're speaking zero, uh, ends of your incapacitated. Uh, it also ends of an effect or moves to grab a creature from the reach such as thunder wave, which is why it didn't work on the restrained creature, but it would work on somebody who's grappled. Um, so you are grappled. You're restrained. Uh, that is his one attack. The druid just got, uh, wanted, absolutely sniped.
02:05:15
Vesz_rak
Get sniped, idiot.
02:05:17
bladesedge
Gilman still restrained you cannot move you can action to free yourself or you can attack Okay,
02:05:17
gil
Sniped. Yep.
02:05:22
gil
I'm going to attack with my soul knives and I'm just going to try to um hit on either side of where Roy is currently ah grappled. First one coming in.
02:05:33
bladesedge
I believe you you have disadvantage because you are restrained I
02:05:38
gil
Oh, okay.
02:05:40
gil
Then that's a nat one.
02:05:43
Vesz_rak
Oh no.
02:05:44
bladesedge
Luckily you can't lose these knives as they are soul knives.
02:05:47
gil
Yeah, okay, bonus attack, ah bonus action with it coming out.
02:05:51
bladesedge
You can still get sneak attack, even on a bonus action attack.
02:05:54
gil
Mm-hmm.
02:05:56
bladesedge
23 would hit at 20.
02:05:57
Kyle
GASP!
02:05:58
bladesedge
So 23 hits and you do get your sneak attack.
02:05:58
Trevor
Hell yeah, let's go.
02:06:02
gil
Wow, cool. So there's that and sneak attack.
02:06:13
bladesedge
Oh, so it's not.
02:06:13
gil
Whoa, sneak attack.
02:06:14
bladesedge
Yeah, so it's not 2d4 plus four. It's just 1d4.
02:06:19
gil
um Yeah, I wonder why it rolled like that.
02:06:22
bladesedge
Because I think you rolled from the Nat 20, which you had disadvantaged.
02:06:25
gil
Oh, I see.
02:06:25
bladesedge
It would be the 23.
02:06:27
gil
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:06:28
Kyle
Alright.
02:06:28
bladesedge
That's OK. So it's still seven and four, which is 11 points of damage. This thing had nine health left.
02:06:34
gil
e
02:06:34
Trevor
Let's go.
02:06:35
bladesedge
The psychic blades cut through this vine and he falls to the floor, much like ah what's that Pokemon, Tangala?
02:06:42
Vesz_rak
Yeah, Tangler. Nice cut.
02:06:44
bladesedge
yes
02:06:45
gil
And then I rip ah rip Roy out of it and just, a
02:06:45
bladesedge
and
02:06:49
gil
help make sure that he's on his feet.
02:06:51
bladesedge
Tangola falls to the ground. The vines on the ground come off both you guys. They are non-magical. This room is just kind of looks like it's like full of plants right now. We are out of combat.
