00:00:31
Speaker
D20 radio, your game is rolling. Hello and welcome to Ever On Renewed, a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast set in the Ever On Campaign setting. I'm your dungeon master, Eric. I'm Philip. I'm Randy. I'm Jeff. And welcome to another episode. Gentlemen, what happened last time? We prepared to fight a dragon.
00:01:02
Speaker
Just the three of us. I mean, we, I know up to six. We have armed borrowed time. We've arranged a dragon net. Uh, we've got fire resistance, potions, galore. Um, yeah. And we have lured him out.
00:01:23
Speaker
Yes. Indeed.
Preparing for the Dragon Battle
00:01:26
Speaker
Yes. So, um, you all prep for a dragon fight and now Booyah shot into the mouth of the cave and, uh, a figure appeared before you, um, dressed in fancy clothes. Um, and how far away were you all from the mouth of the cave when you fired? Uh,
00:01:50
Speaker
What was your distance? He can shoot like 120 feet. So I'm assuming I would have got back as far as I could have.
00:02:02
Speaker
but it would be 120 feet to the mouth of the cave but how deep into the cave before we hit some artifacts or before he would have triggered the okay I mean it's a game if you want us to hear the words that he says that's perfectly acceptable he's actually a dragon so sorry I refuse
00:02:21
Speaker
No, so like he appears and then immediately begins to unfurl, for lack of a better term, like his cloak begins to spin around. And once it comes back around him, it's a dragon's head that's like beginning to take off towards you all. Does his change action take six seconds? I mean, it's a shape change action. It was sort of his teleport again. Can we all drink potions while he's shape changing? Sure. Done. Done. Done.
00:02:50
Speaker
Okay.
Initiating Combat with the Dragon
00:02:51
Speaker
So I'm going to need initiative from everybody. We're fighting a dragon. You're not wrong. No, I'm right. What is it? Eric 15 X 33. Yeah.
00:03:16
Speaker
Natural 20. Nice. So what is that with your modifier? 25. Okay. Orianna? Natural 20. With the modifier? 24. Or give. Decides he has time to help. I think I'd really have Barashah.
00:03:43
Speaker
I just prefer him. There's no real tactical reason. Dex is up first. Okay. He is becoming a dragon and rising towards us. Where are we? You're in a skiff. Okay. So we are not yet. All right. Start big, right? Start big.
00:04:08
Speaker
Remember that a fireball is not going to be a thing to do. Well, no, but I have a lightning bolt. Oh, that's true. So I pull out Liliana and I aim her as so far as one aims your magical, uh, focus and I fire a lightning bolt. Okay. Has a DC 16 dexterity save. That is not going to do it. All right. And he's going to take.
00:04:37
Speaker
Bunch of damage. I'm on hope. 43 points of lightning damage. Is it half damage on a successful save? Yes. Is it? OK, that's what I like more than. Yeah, so he'll go and take it. Wait, did he save?
00:05:04
Speaker
No, but mechanically, really powerful creatures have legendary a certain number of times. Gotcha. So 40 was a 42 43. I guess at 43 40. It would be 43. Okay, so yeah, lightning strikes out and just hits Thorlar in the chest as he roars and kind of barrels through it to continue flying towards you all.
00:05:31
Speaker
It is now Dex also moves this gift towards the ship.
00:05:38
Speaker
I mean yeah, if I can use my movement. Which one of you is helming the skiff? I really have no idea. It wouldn't have been Booyah. I would have been either one of us. So yeah, let's say it was me. Okay. So I would like to use my movement and my bonus action to move us as close back to the ship as possible. If you want to use my bonus action to do it, then don't just I'm saying that's what I want. Yeah, I know. I mean, it's outside of the realms of your Rogi movie ability.
00:06:03
Speaker
Okay. I would like to use Orianna's Natural 20 to declare that everyone is wearing a Featherfall pack. Okay. Both here and on the vessel, on the ship. I like that. Is it possible with mine to say that, because I'm thinking we might have had them do this anyway, and we had people on the ship, presumably on a weapon, that they have got a shot off.
00:06:33
Speaker
Oh, with your natural 20. Got a shot off from one of the turrets. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'll let him roll and see if they hit him. What's the range on these things? I have to assume long enough. So you will worry on it. I think he's rolling.
00:06:54
Speaker
Rolling for, I, I don't know. Yeah. Rickard's the only one. Rickard was man. Yeah. Oriana's in the, in the, that's a natural one. I'm assuming he's going to miss. Yes. Fly wide. Cool.
Unexpected Allies and Challenges
00:07:08
Speaker
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool
00:07:23
Speaker
Okay. I'm going to mark him and Booyah puts one hand out and this flash of light just zips out of his hand towards the dragon. 25. That's a hit.
00:07:54
Speaker
Hmm. Yes. He takes 15 points of radiant damage. The next attacker on him attacks at advantage. Okay. This is guiding bolt just went straight at him. All right. Thank goodness. Now we can see him. Orianna. Okay. Uh, or gonna five more points of damage.
00:08:24
Speaker
as it was marked. Orianna draws her long bow. And she will shoot at the dragon. And she has advantage. That's good. So that would be 18 to miss. Oh, that's so very bad.
00:08:51
Speaker
Okay. That's what you got. All right. Rickard's turn. So Rickard's going to aim the turret. Within range. Okay.
00:09:13
Speaker
Rick is not going to fire the turret. You all. Hear over the speaking stones. Jace hollering out. OK, guys, Rick is telling me not to freak out when this happens and like
The Dragon's Counterattack
00:09:32
Speaker
popping up in between all of you on the skiff is a sea hag.
00:09:40
Speaker
That's just like what kind of standing there and menacingly glaring at the.
00:09:51
Speaker
at the dragon. Yes, thank you. Thank you for that. So a C hag, you say? Yeah, yes, yes, yes. There's a C hag now. I had to step away for a moment. Paul? Yes. And you see the C hag in its true grotesque form. Standing there glaring at the dragon. And perfect. Did I guess nevermind?
00:10:22
Speaker
just wondering if anybody recognized this spell, if it was like summon monster or summon illusion, you know? Okay. Uh, and that's all that's going to happen on Rickard's turn. Um, and Jace is still over the headset going, he promises it might be worth it. We'll just have to see. Um, Barrick, it's your turn.
00:10:50
Speaker
Okay, bonus action hex blades curse on the dragon. And action. Action to cast fly. Okay.
00:11:22
Speaker
And now Beric and Dex can fly. I have a 60 foot fly speed. For how long?
00:11:40
Speaker
I mean, as long as I can maintain concentration on this spell. Oh goodness, okay. Got that feather fall pack on. We got the feather fall packs on, so it's okay. But if I fall, I'm out of the fight. Alright, that's why we have the feather fall packs. We're okay. Okay. Well, we're gonna... And so then Barak just... I mean...
00:12:05
Speaker
shadowy wings appear from Beric's back and he just launches himself off of the skiff and flies.
00:12:16
Speaker
60 feet out in the general direction of the ship but generally separating from the oh you're flying towards the ship not towards the dragon yeah i know i'm not diving at the dragon i'm just spreading us out a little bit spreading us out a little bit noted okay um it is now Thorlar's turn um so uh while doing so i make rude rude gestures in the direction of the dragon
00:12:41
Speaker
Doesn't concentration drop when you get hit real hard? Or you have to roll to see if you maintain it? I have to roll to see if I maintain it. And I have some, I'm pretty good at that. So you all can also see as Thor Larr is flying up towards you all, you see like the heat airlines like radiating off of him and he begins to gain ground quickly with the skiff and you all, and you specifically, let me.
00:13:12
Speaker
Give me a. Trying to think of what check would. Coerce intimidate. Or be more. Yeah, or deception. I'm leaning more towards deception because you're trying to. I'm taunting him. Yeah, I'm not really trying to trick him. Yeah. So I don't know. You're going to do intimidation.
00:13:39
Speaker
11, but it's a natural one. Okay, so he sees you take off and just begins to close in on the skiff. Let's see, well, range of 120 feet. Let's say he gets within 30 feet of the skiff. So he is going to,
00:14:12
Speaker
Um, uh, he's going to do fire breath. I mean, so everybody needs to give me a dexterity saving throw and not you, but oriented. So just the two of us and record is not oriented. Uh, and Rick, of course. So all three of you need to roll 24, only 16 decks. Mm-hmm.
00:14:38
Speaker
21. Okay, you to pass or an does not. So 1876 damage. So 18 points of damage to each of you. Oh, Rogues and fire resistance. Yeah, but he needs to see.
00:15:02
Speaker
knowing you're going to fight a dragon. That's that's at least nice. Mm hmm. Yeah, the the skip is on fire. Skip the skip. You would estimate you.
00:15:20
Speaker
I'm going to say you have three more turns before the structural integrity becomes such that it's going to fall apart under the weight of all of you. But also we're standing in fire. Yeah, it's also true. So yeah, just standing in the fire. It's not a lot, especially with your resistance, but you'll take 1d6 fire damage every turn that you end in the fire. Okay.
00:15:43
Speaker
Uh, okay. So that is it for him. Um, okay. It is now Jason's turn. So, um, what do you want me to do guys? Come get you. How far is the skip from the boat?
00:16:07
Speaker
mean you told him to get like a safe distance away. We brought him back directly above us. Okay, so what we had discussed as the plan is that he would try to dive over the thing and hit it with the net.
00:16:24
Speaker
Okay. So, uh, what check is this piloting check? So it'd be his, he'd be sure that he's proficient in the vehicle. Yeah. So just be whatever skit, whatever attribute you want to apply to flying an airship. Plus his proficiency. Typically it's charisma charisma for the era for the elemental. Yeah. Where's the element? Oh, that makes sense. Um, so yeah.
00:16:51
Speaker
and then a difficulty to the check. The DC, we planned it so well. It's a foolproof plan. No, it's a real one in a long, it's really a long shot plan. Oh, it's the longest of shots. No. I'll give it the same DC that that dragon's fire breath had. Okay. You got an 18.
The Dragon's Final Assault
00:17:14
Speaker
And he needs a 21. So he clips it a bit. Like he swoops down with the net and the dragon's wings are up and he just, he gets the wings. So it kind of knocks the dragon a bit off balance, but does not wrap it up. Um, so tragedy and woe it is now, um, background to the top. Dex's turn. Okay. Now I need to know how far we are since there's been movement. How far do you assume we are from the ship?
00:17:43
Speaker
Um, I mean, he swooped right over and kept going. I'm going to say, um, you could get the skiff there in one turn, uh, but it's going to be your full movement. Um, 60 feet away. Your call. You could also move it.
00:18:03
Speaker
Uh, well, I don't know. Okay. Here's what I need to do. I need to get it there because I don't know that Orianna can pilot one. I don't know that Booyah can. I mean, I assume the skiffs are gotta be pretty cool. Okay. I didn't know. Yeah. The airships require something special, but not the air or the skiffs. Turn it over to Orianna if you want to. Okay. I am going to do this. Can I do this? Can I get it?
00:18:32
Speaker
30 feet closer with my movement and then use my action to fly. You can use your bonus action to fly cause you're a rogue. Okay. Yeah. Use my bonus action to fly onto the ship myself. So I don't need my turn in the fire, but I get them that much closer if we're making it easier for you. So 30 feet of movement towards the ship. Bonus action to fly onto the ship. If I can choose, I would like to fly to one of the ballista.
00:18:59
Speaker
okay land at it i won't ask now to use my action to fire it i just want to get to it okay and i'll let that be my action okay my movement great sounds good so yeah you have the skiff barreling and just before it gets there you leap off just laying on top of the deck right in front of one of the arcane turrets and it is now buya's turn
00:19:28
Speaker
Well, Booyah. Nothing. Just to find my own self. Planar justice. And. Bonus action, I'm going to cast in Snaring Strike to
Aftermath and Recovery
00:19:55
Speaker
a minute.
00:19:59
Speaker
First shot. That's not gonna do it, I don't think. 21? 21 hits. That's good. They're very big. And he needs to make...
00:20:18
Speaker
Oh, uh, strength saving throw. He's probably not very strong. No, DC 17. Um, that's a natural 20. So yeah, he, what was the DC? So the 17. Okay. So thorns pop out to try to ensnare. He just, he just rips right. They're just not enough thorns. It's just like, there's just like a little display of thorns on him. He has a little tribal tattoo now. He just looks cooler.
00:20:45
Speaker
Yeah, that's what tribal tattoos do is make you look cooler. It's a dragon culture. They do. Sixteen points of damage. Six of which is cold. Dragon culture is firmly stuck in the 90s. Second shot. Is that when the tribal tattoos came in? Late 90s or the 2000s? Twenty three. That's a hit. Thirteen more.
00:21:20
Speaker
Okay. So it's still barreling towards you all. Orianna. Where is the skiff now? Do you move the skiff at all? Where's the skiff? I did not
Discovery in the Dragon's Lair
00:21:31
Speaker
move the skiff. I thought he moved the skiff. I moved it 30 feet closer. It's still 30 feet away. You have your movement. I didn't realize I thought you moved. I thought we were like on the boat. I'm on the boat. I got 30 feet closer so you could get it 30 feet closer and end your turn outside the fire. But
00:21:51
Speaker
Booyah gets it 30 feet closer with his movement. Yes, you can get it 30 feet closer. But that, I mean, your movement's 30 feet, right? Yes. Yeah. So, and you used an action and a bonus action. So you're going to end your turn in the fire. So five have rounded down two points of fire damage. So... As you cook in your... We just clipped the dragon. So where is the dragon in relation to the ship right now?
00:22:19
Speaker
under left of behind. Under because Jace just tried to swoop with the net. So Orianna jumps off of the. Under and behind a little bit. Okay. Because Jace kept going. So. So Orianna is going to jump onto the deck of the ship. I guess hold an action until the dragon is within
00:22:43
Speaker
In view, like hold her, she's going to fit an arrow to the string and hold an action until the dragon moves so that it's no longer under the ship. I mean, no, you can, you can see the dragon. She's kept like flying past it. So. Okay. She would have a shot. Then she shall take a shot. Rickard is going to. That's right. The sea hag. Um.
00:23:09
Speaker
Did anybody help the sea hag off the sea hag and manage its own affairs? Rickard is going to fire his arcane turret at the thing again. That's a natural two. So, fires wide and the sea hag... Cackles?
00:23:37
Speaker
tries to make a deal for the voice of the dragon. Okay, the dragon has to make a saving throw. Seven or a two? It's a seven.
00:23:58
Speaker
The wonkiest looking dice. I found the two. It is slightly more curved than the seven. You can just you can definitely tell when you see the two. But the two is definitely a two. Yeah. The seven is a jury out. Whatever effect the sea hag was hoping for, the dragon shakes off.
00:24:28
Speaker
Got him to use one of his resources. No, he succeeded on it. Good lord. Well, it's a very low DC, but there's a chance, so. Okay, Bear, you are. I'm gonna fly and grab onto this dragon. Okay.
00:24:51
Speaker
Barak flies down, catches on to the back of this dragon. Once you get within 10 feet of the dragon, you feel the heat begin to hit you in the face as you close the gap.
00:25:13
Speaker
You take five points of fire damage, round it down. And then I'm going to smite him twice with Erebus. That's going to be a whole bunch a lot. 26? Good.
00:25:57
Speaker
Well, uh, that's 27 damage first one and second attack is even more, uh, 19 damage on the second one. So Barak has just got one hand grasping onto, you know,
00:26:18
Speaker
a horn or a spike or something that comes out of its back and is just hacking down with Erebus as this thing flies. Okay. Eric's, you know, layered clothing sort of whipping around him. It looks real awesome. Um, okay. So, um, this thing is going to,
00:26:56
Speaker
It's gonna fly up to above the ship to where like, everybody's with inside of it. And all of you need to make a wisdom saving throw. I believe I'm immune to fear now. 22.
00:27:25
Speaker
Yes, it was actually lower. I rolled a four, natural two, so. Booyah, 22. Orianna, 17. Got a 18. Barak is immune, Jace. Oh, that's so interesting.
00:27:48
Speaker
Yes. Yes, it is. What is the thing? You're going to hate me so hard. You're frightened. What was the spell? It's not a spell. It's just a property. It's a fearful presence. Frightful presence. I have advantage against tribal presence. That's why I'm asking. Oh, you do. All right.
00:28:04
Speaker
But also remember we learned that frightened does not mean you have to run away. Frightened means you can't move any closer. Yes. That's what I was trying to get at. If it's frightful presence, I get it. I was just telling you, you don't have to run 120 feet in the wrong direction. 19. I don't know if that's safe or not. That succeeds. OK.
00:28:20
Speaker
Yes, thank God. There's only so much other direction I can get. You can fly right now, so... Oh, God, I can fly again. I can feather fall. I can just go to the ground. And you have disadvantage on all ability checks and attack rolls. Against the creature, right? While it's in line sight.
00:28:38
Speaker
Um, so Dex is good. So Booyah, Orianna, Rickard and Jace all are frightened. You can try the saving throw again on your turn. Booyah did higher than me. Oh, I don't know why I marked you correctly. So Orianna, Rickard and Jace. Okay. The NPCs. Sure. Um, okay. So that is, um,
00:29:05
Speaker
OK, then it is going to swoop down. And attack. So let's see, I'm trying to picture where everyone is in the ship just so I can keep this in my head.
00:29:24
Speaker
Your Dex is up Dex is on the fighting deck with near a ballista. I am at one of the I didn't say can I say now the the harpoon the actual okay Booyah has gotten off of the he's just right next to oh you're still on the skiff but
00:29:39
Speaker
We got 30 feet closer, how far are we away from the ship? We're over the ship. The skiff is docked. You just didn't have any movement left to get out. And then Orianna would have had to go back to the back of the ship or toward the back of the ship to shoot the dragon.
00:29:55
Speaker
Or, I don't know where it would have been, but she would do wherever it would have been visible. Yeah, but she's up on the deck, right? Yeah, yeah, she's not below deck. So yeah, the dragon lands on the deck and is going to attempt to... Booyah's been laying in the hurt. He's gonna try to bite Booyah. What? Leave me alone. So... Who easily bit? 31. You got bit. You can swallow me.
00:30:26
Speaker
I don't know if it can. I don't remember how big a dragon has to be before it can just swallow you. You are bite sized. Although you are small. 17 fire damage. Are you going to round down or divide or should we? You should. Okay. Just want to make sure we keep it consistent. Oh, sorry. 17 piercing damage and
00:30:50
Speaker
So the 17 damage is fully, and then eight fire damage. So round that down. Then it is going to, it bites at Booyah, then uses one of its claws to reach up and try to rake Beric off of his back. 31. That hits. And this is just slashing damage. So that's going to be
00:31:17
Speaker
20 slashing damage. And then let's say, let's say Dex. 27. Yeah. And it's a slashing as well? Yes. 15. Okay.
00:31:48
Speaker
And that's everything it can do. So, so it's, that was like swoop down and rake at us as it goes. So it landed on the deck. Oh, it landed on the ship now. Um, and it is now Jason's turn. Um, that's interesting because he can't go closer to it. Huh? I don't know. I mean, he might just hold the ship steady.
00:32:17
Speaker
Yeah, I think Jace is just going to start freaking out. He can't keep control of the elemental because yeah, he's never been in a situation like this. There's a dragon on his deck. What's going on? Um, so Jace does nothing decks.
00:32:34
Speaker
Lightning bolt. I mean, I can't imagine why I wouldn't do my strongest thing for a few times. So it's a DC 16 safe. And I know that you're going to get some resistance to it. And he's also just got a crazy modifier. 11 rolling terrible. Just on that check. Yeah. Not on every time you tried to hit us a second ago. So that's. That was a six. Look at this. This is what I roll.
00:33:02
Speaker
So the first roll of two, that's 24, 28, 33. Nice. 57 points of lightning damage. And then I want to go invisible.
00:33:32
Speaker
I mean, what the heck? Action search. Can I, can I use Leliana with an action search or does it have to be a rapier or a ribbon wave attack? No action search. You get another action. Yeah. You just get another action. Give me another DC 16 save. Okay. This will be my, this is the last Leliana I've got. Now does he take any damage then show you by the rolling? I mean, he doesn't have anything to prevent half damage. Okay. Well, that's what I was wondering. He takes half of.
00:34:11
Speaker
So half of 44. 22. So 22, yes. Gonna make Eric do the math. He takes 22 more and I, um, where am I in relation to Booyah? Booyah don't skiff. What am I in relation to Eric? I'm on top of the dragon.
00:34:37
Speaker
Right. Oh, sorry. When he landed on the ship, apologies, because you all entered within. Oh, yes. Fire damage. So Dex, 17, half of that. Orianna. Is Orianna close enough? Yeah. Okay. 15, half that. Just by being within his aura, we take fire damage. Okay. Rickard. Is that?
00:35:07
Speaker
End of our turn now, start of his turn. If you end your turn in the aura, you take it. Basically, you would have to go to the very front of the ship to get outside of it. He kind of permeates the rest of the area. OK. OK. And now at the end of your turn,
00:35:37
Speaker
Um, I need, you know, he's just gonna, so, um, you cast lightning bolt at him and he like reels and takes it a couple of times. And then he just whips his tail around 25. Yeah. Um, 22 bludgeoning damage.
00:36:11
Speaker
Okay, and now it is Booyah's turn. Yeah, I was gonna move 15 feet away from him. Kick in his afterburners. And go up into the air 15 more feet away. Okay. Getting off the skiff and away from him. And then
00:36:35
Speaker
Let's shoot plainer justice. Nineteen to hit. Fifteen points of damage. And shoot again. That's going to be more. That's twenty five.
00:37:10
Speaker
19 points of damage. We have flies but it hurt a little bit.
00:37:26
Speaker
Okay, with that shot Booyah, Thorlar, his wings stretch up and he just brings them crashing down onto the deck. The wood cracks a little bit and I need everybody except for Booyah to make a dexterity saving throw. Does this include Beric? Yes. That's not very good.
00:37:57
Speaker
Dex, what'd you get? 22. Okay. Uh, I think both Eric and Orianna failed. What can you tell me the DC? 22. Okay. Yes. Oh my gosh. Yes. Absolutely. Okay. Um, yeah, everybody, but Dex fails. So, um,
00:38:32
Speaker
Yeah. So everybody's going to take 16 points of bludgeoning damage. And you are all knocked prone, which means, Beric, you are knocked all in. Yeah.
00:38:48
Speaker
Do I, I mean, I can fly. It doesn't really matter. But do I land on the deck or do I fall off? You just, it's fine if you just kind of float off. I've just been thrown loose. I'm not, I'm not on it. Provided that you pass your concentration saving throw. Yes. How much damage was it doing? Uh, 16. Still concentrating. Okay. Um, and now it is going to, like with the slam of its wings, it takes off straight up in the air, 40 feet away. Um,
00:39:18
Speaker
Shoot. That's what you're going to have to do. Um, it, and that was the end of Booyah's turn. Orianna. Okay. Uh, I mean, she really can't do much other than shoot at him at this point. So she is going to do that disadvantage. Thank you. I don't think it's going to matter. Cause I think that was about, yeah, she misses and she's going to,
00:39:51
Speaker
Is there a place on the ship where she would have some kind of cover? I remember if the, is the helm like a housing? Yeah. Okay. She sort of moves over along the wall of the housing to put that between her and the dragon for a minute. I'm going to attempt a wisdom saving throw to end the frightened. Nope. Okay. Um, now it is Rickard's turn. Rickard is going to shoot at it with disadvantage.
00:40:15
Speaker
That is a miss. The dragon needs to make a wisdom saving throw though against the Sea Hag. Basically, if it's four or less, then it's good.
00:40:30
Speaker
That's a fourth. Hey! Bingo bango. So the dragon looks back kind of smirking Thorlar and the sea hag just has walked off the skiff and is standing on the deck of Ural's ship and it's like glaring at the dragon and you see like fear enter the dragon's eyes and it's going to use its ability. I dreamed this. I knew this is how it ended.
00:41:00
Speaker
Okay. He has to make one last wisdom saving throw. If this is a four or less, then it will fall subject to the Sea Hags death glare. Oh! Good lord! Which is bad. Put it on the table. Death glare is bad, I assume. If you fail, you drop the zero hit point. Holy crap! Holy shoot!
00:41:23
Speaker
No, that's a seven. I like Randy's version better. So the dragon is just flying up and away. The sea hag just kind of I twitch glares up at it, shaking its fist at this young whipper snapper. But the dragon does not fall dead. It is now barracks turn. OK, OK.
00:41:56
Speaker
OK. Dragon is 40 feet ish away from you, maybe 30 because you were floating in the air, so. OK, boy.
00:42:19
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to chase it. So my flight of speed of 60 feet, I can get up behind him again and grab on and attack again. Do I take that damage when I move into its aura? Or is that on its turn? I don't remember.
00:42:42
Speaker
All right, attacks are 25 and 26. Sorry, let me catch up on hit points real quick. Okay. So, latching on again, lashing again with hewing at him with Erebus.
00:43:08
Speaker
And that's going to be first attack is 22 second attack is. Twenty one, so. Forty three, forty three damage total. See, just straight above the ship, are we am I just directly above the ship? Yeah, we are straight up. OK. OK, I'm good. Yeah, that's that's what I got.
00:43:46
Speaker
All right. It is going to in the air. Attack, barrack. Twenty three. Yes. That is going to be.
00:44:15
Speaker
15 points of piercing damage and nine points of fire damage. 15 piercing nine fire. Yep. So four fire. So 19 total then claw attack. That is going to be a 32. Yes, that also hits. Uh,
00:44:40
Speaker
14 points of slashing damage. And then lastly, 25. Okay. Hold on. So now I'm at 30. It's okay. 25 also hits. Yes. Lastly, 15 more points of slashing damage. Okay. So you all look up and Barrick is in the middle of a hand to hand combat with a red fire dragon or red dragon.
00:45:04
Speaker
So it's just like raking at its back, basically. Oh, did you fly up behind it? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it's like slashing and like bit your leg and like raking at you. It's clawing its own skin, taking half damage from, from its own damage. Okay. It was worth asking.
00:45:24
Speaker
And I'm going to say because of what it's trying to do, it's going to move at half speed for this, but you hear this dragon as it's raking at you saying, okay.
00:45:42
Speaker
If you kill me, I will take you with me. And he begins, he like flips to where it just like pauses in the air in Virgid's body and now is flying full bore straight towards the deck of borrowed time. And, oh.
00:45:58
Speaker
Okay, that was his reaction to barracks move. It's his turn. Okay. No, yeah, my bad. Because he has his things that you can do at the end of people's turns. That's right. That's okay. That's what Jace is going to attempt. Oh, Ricker needs to attempt his saving throw. He fails. Jace also fails.
00:46:21
Speaker
And for good measure, while he's flying straight down, he's going to make one last tail attack. His tail flips up and hits you in the back. 22. Yes. God. Do I have cover? Does he count as cover? 15.
00:46:48
Speaker
bludgeoning damage. Are you looking over there? Poorly. Looking poorly. Okay, so basically the situation we're in right now, just so you all know, Thorlar goes second to last before Jace. The rest of you go before him.
00:47:10
Speaker
Uh, it is feasible for you all to take him out before his next turn. If he reaches his next turn, he will be crashing through borrowed time. So it's your turn. How, so he's flying towards us. He is barreling straight down. He's within like, I'm going to say 10 feet. Like watching him come down. Here's the thing I can fly too.
00:47:35
Speaker
I'm flying straight up. I can't imagine a better time to use my polymorph blade. Okay. Cause it can't get a whole lot worse. That's true. You're holding onto, you're holding onto his back. So I have advantage because of my new wolf party. Yep. So let's see what happens. Okay. Let me, okay. I'll just see you here doing this with these dice until you're ready. Go ahead.
00:48:06
Speaker
Oh no, I mean the best one was a 19, a nine and a seven. That hits, it doesn't trigger the polymorph ability. Okay, so that is gonna be... 26 points of slashing damage.
00:48:35
Speaker
and so you pull out the polymorph blade and fly straight up at this thing as it's roaring about to burst through bar of time and you just keep going and then emerge seeing the sun once again covered gross
00:48:58
Speaker
No. You had great fluid. It's a rapier. How did it open up that sort of hole? And just float for a second as like the rest of you here like this deafening thud is this dragon corpse is like draped over borrowed time. It doesn't smash borrowed time at speed?
00:49:20
Speaker
And like some of the wood cracks and everything, like it's like, and Barak you're like tossed off, everybody. And Jace kind of pokes his head from like, clearly he was crouched down in the helm. Just got it. I am straight up hovering above the boat. He's dragging him up. What? Just turn off like.
00:49:51
Speaker
And I slowly land back on the boat, take my cloak, start scrubbing myself off because it can't get dirty so it can clean me. Stay clean. I'm gross. Uh, Farak climbs down.
00:50:06
Speaker
and then stands up sort of breathing hard. The wings vanish. And then I'm going to use a whole bunch of key to cast Bigby's hand. And so Beric just sort of raises his hands and the dragon corpse sort of heaves and Beric just sort of gesturing along as the dragon corpse just heaves off the side of the ship.
00:50:36
Speaker
Let's, uh, go check out the layer floats back down to the deck. Do you suppose we need, uh, a lot of healing before we go. Yes. I actually, and gives a 70 points of healing to split amongst you all. And Eric is down to 20. He would like some of that. Take as much as you can. I can take 70. Uh, well, if I can take 20, that'll get me up into the high eighties. Okay. And you can have the rest. Cool.
00:51:08
Speaker
Cause we're on it. Did we want to take much? She took a little bit. Oh, and then the sea hag disappears record. Oh, she seemed nice. And then Booyah continues to fly down to the ground. Could you imagine if he would have like, he would have been dead. Great. You were great. Good job. I mean, to be fair, he was dead eventually. Yes. Lately, I put the hurting on that dragon. She did over a hundred.
00:51:37
Speaker
Um, so you're headed down and we descend. Do we have an, do we have a skiff capable of descending? Well, y'all flew down. I guess we get off feather fall and do you have Jason? It's really got a backup skiff. I assume we had, we definitely had more than one skiff. I mean, you made a point of saying when Oriana showed up, we took the only skiff. Cause you asked, how did you get here? Huh? That would seem like an error on my part. Cause we've definitely had more than one skiff before.
00:52:07
Speaker
because we've used both of them. I think the most we've ever taken down at one time was... No, we had two skiffs. Two skiffs when we went back to Miss Marsh. I meant people. I was going to say, we've taken eight people down at once before. Is that more than one skiff? Because you let us do it. But we definitely had to. Yeah, you had to. No, I mean, it's fine.
00:52:28
Speaker
So, um, yeah, you have an extra skip. You can say that you bought another one. Look, I'm interested in the, uh, the layer, of course. Sure. Did we promise any sort of trophy to prove we'd done this? I don't think so. I can't imagine. They didn't ask for it. I can't imagine. Hunter's Guild wanted proof.
00:52:49
Speaker
What counts as proof? Can we take a talon and not a talon? Like, can we take a foot? Is that bigger? That's gotta be smaller than a head. Probably. I don't know. A talon. I mean, we'll try a talon and if not, we can tell them. We, they can just go look at the gigantic dragon corpse that we left next to Meryl's ward. What about harvesting stuff to sell? I don't have any idea how to do that. I'm not messing with skin, but can we like pull some teeth? As much as you like.
00:53:15
Speaker
I'm trying to pull a couple teeth. I mean, Nick, it's going to require like a couple hours worth of work if you're trying to extract dragon teeth. How about we do that after? Yeah, let's go to the lair. We'll see how much room is left in the old. There might be people in there who recall. Oh, geez. Yeah, let's go to the lair.
00:53:31
Speaker
Okay, so you all approach the cave and as you walk in and your eyes adjust out of the daylight you see some torches burning and shining off of mounds of gold and just jewels, fine vases, just generally monetarily valuable things.
00:53:54
Speaker
You also see in the very back corner. Everybody give me a perception check. Let's see who sees this. I want to see the real prints at all. Nineteen. Eighteen. Twenty something. Twenty six.
00:54:14
Speaker
Uh, so yeah, Dex, you're, everybody else is kind of glancing at all of the, the treasure and you're looking and you see a figure tied up in the back, like on a, on a small chair, hands tied behind their back and they look to be unconscious. Like their, their heads just kind of hanging in front of them. So long hair down in their face. You can't get a beat on who it is, but there's somebody back there. I holler at Booyah to come back. Hey buddy. Hey Booyah here. Hey, look at this fellow back here. Come on. Let's make sure he's all right. Okay. Booyah come.
00:54:46
Speaker
Um, check the fellow out. Um, so yeah, you see, this is a fairly, uh, good looking individual, long brown hair beard. Um, I mean, dressed in rags, um, smells horrible. Um, looks to be a bit emaciated, starved. Um, is it, it's not the Prince. Well, you never seen the Prince. We just saw the Prince.
00:55:12
Speaker
Well, from a distance, like you were flying away and he immediately transformed, so... Does it have brown hairs? It's possible it's the prince. It's possible. Hey, Booyah, wake him up. Okay, so Booyah heals him. I say, uh... Who are you? What do you want? Who are you? Are you him? No. Oh, he's dead. The dragon? No, we killed dragon. We killed him. We come help you.
00:55:42
Speaker
I mean, we're here now to help you. We didn't necessarily come to help you. Does that make sense? You're lying. You couldn't have killed him. Well, there's a big dragon corpse out front. No, there's a big dead dragon out there. What do you want? Cut the man loose. Yeah. What's he, what's he taught? Is it rope or chain rope? Okay. I cut him loose and I, I lead his disbelief at nasty. Like he, he like coils at Leliana when you pull her out. Of course he does. She's terrifying. She's just killed a dragon. Give him some rations.
00:56:11
Speaker
Um, he still seated in the chair, takes the food. Booyah rations though. Some leftover snails. Some snails, butter and mushroom parfait. He kind of is about to eat the food and then stops and looks at and is like, what do you want? We won't get you out here. You don't want to stay here. Booyah think this bad place stay. Okay.
00:56:43
Speaker
He just kind of sets the food down and gets up and I picked a piece of food up and I take a bite of it and I hand it back to him. You eat need strength. What what what takes a bite? What what name? Booyah. I'm Dex. A doll. The Prince, a doll. That's you.
00:57:14
Speaker
Yes. I've only seen you once from very far away and it wasn't you and we killed it. So, um, yeah, we're here. We killed the dragon. We're going to get you home. Um, is there anybody else around here? No. All right. Cool. Um, we're gonna look around for a bit.
00:57:39
Speaker
You're welcome to eat the rest of that, whatever it is he gave you. And when we head back up on the boat, we'll take you with us. We have an airship by the way, and we'll get you home. All right. Okay. All right. Uh, if we bring the skiff in, I could expedite loading some of this.
00:58:05
Speaker
That's a good idea. Um, I'll run out. Barrett begins using Bigby's hand to keep giant handfuls of gold into the skiff. Okay. At the same time, I'm like kind of, as I'm walking along, just grabbing handfuls and throwing them in my bag of holding, particularly interested in gyms, but coins as well. Luya staying with the Prince to kind of keep an eye on him. Make sure he's obviously appears to be in shock. Yeah, I would think so.
00:58:34
Speaker
What are you? Booyah. You can't just ask, what are you? Booyah, Booyah. A lot of things, Booyah. Here to help you. Help save Booyah. Okay, Booyah, show. Don't be scared. Booyah takes his helmet off. You're a goblin. Yeah, Booyah, goblin. Hmm.
00:59:06
Speaker
Will he uprise you? I highly doubt. I will make sure that nothing surprises me again. That's a good idea. Cassian pops around a corner. As I'm getting the skiff, I haul her back into the cave mouth at Barrick.
00:59:33
Speaker
Hey, money's good and all, but do that thing you do. Are there magical auras on items? It's purely stuff of monetary value that you're spotting. And also there's still residual magic all over the place. I'm just gonna say you all scoop and grab as much as you can and we'll
00:59:53
Speaker

Speaker
Enjoyed our wonderful patrons and hop on discord with all of them And there's all a lot of other fun tears go check them out And that's all we got for this time now Having just killed a gigantic I don't just will you please tell us how old the dragon was what what what it's an adult It was an adult dragon. Okay, that's what I figured. I was curious how many hit points that I have What how many hit points that I have?
01:00:37
Speaker
Um, it had, uh, I, I did some modifications to it just to make it a bit more beefy. It had 300. Okay. So that's, that's good. That's intense. Um, so considering the dragon we have slain, considering that we next intend to go into Dal Kor, don't you think we ought to have more power than we currently literally just leveled up? Yeah, but I could use an ability improvement score. That's my next level. I could really use, I could really bump up that, really bump up that constitution.
01:01:07
Speaker
I'll think about it. And I would have fifth level spells. Reveal it on the reviewed. Thank you all so much for listening. Once again, I'm your dungeon master, Eric. I'm Philip. I'm Randy. I killed a dragon. We'll see you next time.
