Introduction to 'Eberron Renewed' Podcast
00:02:50
Speaker
Hello. Welcome to Eberron Renewed, a D&D 5th edition actual play podcast set in the Eberron campaign setting. I'm your Dungeon Master, Eric. I'm Phillip. I'm Randy. I'm Trevor. I'm Jeff. And welcome to another episode. Gentlemen, what happened last time? It's all bad. Dex forgot how to fight. A lot of fire, a lot of fighting. Yep. Organ words. Burning down the last light estate.
00:03:20
Speaker
at an alarming rate. And no one's doing anything
Recap of Last Episode's Chaos
00:03:24
Speaker
about it. Yeah, I feel like in a different situation, Dex would be bummed about this place burning down. I mean, I feel like in any situation, we should all be burning down on top of it. Well, yeah, I mean, sad about it. Oh, no, that's not why I was worried about no one stopping. I know.
00:03:42
Speaker
concerned about the house. So, all right, so yeah, the house is burning down, Strint just chastised you all for burning down his house as he came down the stairs and destroying his life.
00:04:00
Speaker
All right, it is Rickard's turn.
Rickard's Tactics and Barick's Revelations
00:04:04
Speaker
So Rickard, having seen arrow after arrow after arrow bounce off the armor and shield of this demon person, decides to take a new tactic and fires a arrow at Strint. That is going to be a
00:04:30
Speaker
26, which does hit Strint. So it's not a whole lot of damage, but he's trying to help where he can. That's really not a lot of damage. Okay, so it is now Barrick's turn. So Barrick picks himself up off the ground.
00:05:00
Speaker
And I think that the the blow has knocked the mask clearing off. And so Draconis can see the horror show that is Beric's face now. His eyes are gone. There's just scar tissue all over. And he sort of looks up and says,
00:05:22
Speaker
He's seeing Strint coming down the stairs somehow managing to swagger amid the ruins of everything that he likes. He looks over at Draconos and he says, do you want to know who took you through my bar, put you in my bar? That would be Chance, the one I killed. Actually, I didn't kill him.
00:05:53
Speaker
personally. You want to talk about who it was that was stealing children? That stole Jacob? That killed Echo? It was Chance.
Dex's Struggle and Strint's Shocking Truth
00:06:05
Speaker
And it was Connor. You want to know who destroyed this place and has been hiding the bodies of its inhabitants in the sewer? That would be your pal Strint up there.
00:06:23
Speaker
You think we ruined your life? We didn't throw you into my bar. We looked for every possible way to come and find you. But by the time we had a path into my bar, enough days had passed that if you were still in my bar at that point, you'd be dead. So I don't know how fast they came for you. I don't know how long they held you. But by the time we could go after you, it was too late. Nine of us had the ability to just change planes.
00:06:53
Speaker
It's not how it works. We did everything we could. And we've lost more than you can fathom. I've been dead twice. And it's him who's destroying this place. And we'll destroy it further. And he stands up, picks up the sword again. Fire runs down it. Are you going
Draconos's Doubts and Introspection
00:07:12
Speaker
to stand by a mass murderer? You go for it. That's not the man I knew. But if that's the man you are now,
00:07:21
Speaker
then out of memory of the man you were, I'll put you down. Oh, oh. That, as Trevor, that was so intense. Oh, that was so good. Oh, all right.
00:07:39
Speaker
I am shaking, but I am shaking. Sorry, Philip. Are you doing anything else on your turn, Barak? It's not your turn yet, Draconis. I mean, I would leave it to your discretion as to whether I still have turn left.
00:07:59
Speaker
I spoke a lot. So it's up to you as to whether I still have turn left. If I still have turn left, I'll make use of it. But if you want to do an associated role to have this amazing rant beat to some end, then I would I would love to. I. I would love it to be. Where's my sheet? I'm inclined to say that the tone of it
00:08:29
Speaker
was intimidation, but my intention is I'm trying to get him to snap out of it. I'm trying to get him to see it, but it didn't really strike me as persuasive that I'm willing to be convinced otherwise by the gym.
00:08:49
Speaker
I mean, are you...
Strint's Legendary Action and Estate Chaos
00:08:52
Speaker
I would say, I mean, if not for the last line, I'd be open to persuasion, but in honor of the man that you were, I'll put you down, kind of throws that out a window of a burning house. Oh, come on, there aren't any windows anymore. Class breaks way before the house falls over.
00:09:18
Speaker
Shut up. Oh, sorry. Wait, what happened? Why is it remote?
00:09:24
Speaker
Philip's going to lie and say he rolled another natural. Oh, I'm so angry. So angry. We're not even on video. So I can't just like I'm not really pleased. No. You're you're a player who appreciates when things go horribly wrong. So look, oh, video on. Oh, am I am I looking at the 20? I think so. Yes, you are. It's there.
00:09:55
Speaker
was natural 20. It is a natural 20. Okay, so natural 20. Okay. So, Draconos, in spite of all the conversations that we had prior to recording this, Doubt
00:10:16
Speaker
Like there's just a sliver of doubt that creeps into the back of your mind. You knew about a lot of the stuff that he mentioned that he just brought up, but like hearing it from that angle and the kind of death surrounding it wasn't something you'd really ever given consideration to, I guess for lack of a better way to put it.
00:10:41
Speaker
So you're not you're not turning. You're not like, oh, well, yeah, OK, that makes sense. But you're just kind of.
Revelations and Draconos's Doubt
00:10:52
Speaker
Like you still have your your idea in your head of what you need to accomplish in this fight, but maybe the the blind anger towards Beric starts to slough away a bit. OK, that makes sense.
00:11:10
Speaker
Yeah, because what what type of role did he just do? Intimidation, intimidation. OK. Gotcha. So like trying to slap you with words to knock you out of it. So, yeah, that's that's kind of what happens there. And I will say that nobody else, because the house is burning down around you, stuff's happening.
00:11:38
Speaker
I know that you're right there, Dex, but strength just entered the room, which is probably at least a little bit distracting. So just for Barak, since you were directly addressing Draconis, you see kind of a furrowing of the brow just very briefly. Not an indication that he's switched sides or anything, but you can tell that your words landed. Do I have a bonus action?
00:12:03
Speaker
Yeah, the intimidation check was in action, so. So, Barak looks over at Strint, and I'm going to place my Hexblade's curse on him as a bonus action. So, one of the runes sort of burns itself into his face, and Barak looks at him and says, you I'm putting down, just for the hallet.
00:12:29
Speaker
The rune that burns into his face burns onto the scarred side and he kind of reaches up and touches it and says, not the first time you burned me. Not the last. Um, and now it is Texas turn. Well,
00:12:54
Speaker
There's only one guy I know for sure is 100% against me right now after that stirring speech from Eric and everybody keeps talking about burning things anyway. So I guess I pull out Lelyana. Oh my gosh. Oh no. Okay. Yup. Do it. I'm going to lightning bolt. There's a lot of fire happening. So I'm going to... Because lightning bolts famously don't create fire.
00:13:20
Speaker
but does lightning bolt say it everything that is flammable catches fire around it because fireball says that lightning bolt is straight long firebolt definitely says everything in the 40 foot radius of this thing conflict rates um i'm i'm just gonna do
Barick's Persuasion and Cashew's Return
00:13:39
Speaker
a quick search but uh how long is that lightning bolt
00:13:43
Speaker
It's quite long. Yeah. It's going to bust a hole in the back of the house, but let's be fair, I don't think the house was going to make it. Okay. Look, I said lightning bolt. Okay. Yes. Lightning bolt's happening. A DC-16 dexterity save. He, much like his brother, is somewhat adept at these. 17 or 19. All right, so half of
00:14:14
Speaker
Oh, those are good. He much like his brother also has a thing called evasion. Oh, this guy sucks. Well, he thinks you suck. Yes. That was that was going to be 26 points of lightning bolt damage. OK, and is that the end of your turn?
00:14:44
Speaker
I can't imagine what else one can do. I'm not gonna run out of the burning house yet, but I make it, you know what? I'm just gonna scooch a little closer to the door. Okay, so as you scooch a little bit closer to the door, do you use your bonus action to disengage? Oh yeah, I would have to, wouldn't I? Yes, yes, I do. And, hold on a second.
00:15:14
Speaker
Draconos, I believe you have a feat that relates to him disengaging. I have a, I'm sorry, what? You have the sentinel feat, which allows you to attack him even if he disengages. So if you'd like to make an opportunity to attack, you can. Yes, sure, I have to find it. It's just a regular melee attack. So just attack with your axe. Oh, perfect. So we'll do...
00:15:41
Speaker
28. Yeah, that hit. And then so for the damage that is. So that is 17 damage. OK, and another feature of that feat is Dex as you try to move away and you disengage, your Chronos moves with lightning quick speed and hits you in a way to where he knocks you back to where you were standing so you don't actually move.
00:16:11
Speaker
I love it all so much. I play this game for fun.
00:16:21
Speaker
All right. And now that it is the end of Dex's turn, Strint is going to take a legendary action and quickly he kind of reaches with his hands towards his bracers and flicks his wrists out and two daggers come flying at you, Barak. So first one is a 16. Hold on a second. Okay.
00:16:51
Speaker
I have maintained concentration. Disadvantage, please. 16. Oh, that misses. Second attack. 16 again. So both daggers go flying by. Yeah, Barrick's hand comes up and the daggers just sort of deflect to either side as they come flying towards him.
00:17:10
Speaker
Uh, he kind of growls, um, at that. And now it is the money's turn. So, um, the money is going to, Hey, where's the mall right now? You don't know. Oh, it's above you. Yeah. Uh, yeah, it's, it's above you into the left. Okay. Um,
00:17:35
Speaker
Bhimani is going to, those of you that might see her, although I think she's standing behind all of you, Booyak. You see Bhimani's eyes grow wide as she looks at Strint, and she begins to walk forward in line with Beric, and she says, you are one of the ones that I hunt. And she reaches out and extends her hand, and he's going to make a wisdom saving throw.
00:18:05
Speaker
Crab fight. Crab fight. That is, oh, he rolled so well. That's actually kind of a bummer.
00:18:21
Speaker
Yeah. He got a 21 on his wisdom saving throw. That's enough to
Draconos's Decision and House Collapse
00:18:24
Speaker
beat it. So you see the green energy extend from her. Um, and as it begins to wrap around strength, he just kind of flexes out and purple energy shoots it away. Um, so it is how Booyah's turn stays right where he's at. I'm assuming pretty close to the door and glances at strength and says, Booyah, try make go blind.
00:18:51
Speaker
And he needs to make a constitution saving throw. Good Lord. It's not his worst one, but still 16 17. He is now, um, blinded. What's what spell is this? Is it just the blinded blindness or deafness? Okay.
00:19:19
Speaker
So he is blind for one minute. Um, at the end of each of his turns, he can make a con say. Okay. Um, so I'm just going to say that, like, is that one of your cleric spells or your ranger spells? It's cleric. Um, so after you say you're going to make him go blind, you reach out and a halo of silver, silvery fiery light.
00:19:45
Speaker
wraps itself around his head covering his eyes. And he begins to reach for it unsuccessfully. And like, what would you release me? Since you asked. I do declare. We were raised in very different regions of Sarwhal.
00:20:11
Speaker
Do you send my name? Yes, you're up. OK, bonus bonus action to mark him. You already marked him, didn't you? I don't. Oh, no, you didn't. You didn't know someone else was marked. So you can move it. All right. Draconis, it is now your turn. Yeah. So I kind of after that, after the speech that happened with Eric a second ago, I kind of
00:20:39
Speaker
and then seeing, you know, Strint come up to, I assume, kind of, not next to me, but like he's on the side of the house that I'm on. Is that right? Yeah, he's a little bit behind you. Okay. It's just enough of a speech to really throw me off, and especially remembering what his face looked like.
00:21:06
Speaker
for so long and having like these images of hatred in my head that I've just kind of mulled over and over, seeing him without the mask on, even just from what was described, it really throws me off. And so I kind of, ah, what do I wanna do? And Dex is still kind of near me, right?
00:21:35
Speaker
Why did he run? No, he's right. You kept him in front of you. Right. So so basically, based on our conversations of where your headspace was at going into this fight with the result of barracks check, essentially, it's it's kind of a.
00:21:56
Speaker
they can't be right. They just don't understand kind of thing. Like you're, you're still trying to reaffirm yourself, um, that they just don't get it. Uh, but I like your, your thought process on seeing barracks face and like an example of what they've been through to get to this point also. Right. Um, okay. So I guess I'll try to, uh, I'll stare at Barrick for like a moment and then try to shake it off and
00:22:24
Speaker
By doing that, I'll try to, I focus my attention on decks just to kind of refocus myself. And I will use the spell as a blinding smite as a bonus action. And then on my weapon, and then I will attack decks. And so that will be,
00:22:54
Speaker
That's twenty three for the first one. Yeah. And then the second one would be twenty two to hit. Also, yeah. OK, so for the. First hit, it is a. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:16
Speaker
This might be a pertinent time for you to remember your fifth level rogue ability called Uncanny Dodge. Oh no, it's absolutely happening, yeah. Okay. Yeah, no, I already double-checked to make sure it was a reaction, yeah. And I'm using it, PS. You can do that once around. Yeah. Once around, that's right, because it's your reaction.
00:23:41
Speaker
All right, so that's for the first hit, that's 30 damage. Okay, before you say the second one, so it's not untoward, I will have the 30 damage. Okay, so that was the first hit, and with that, will you do a Constitution saving throw? Well, I'm blind.
00:24:08
Speaker
Yeah, that's a 14. Uh, nope. So you will be blinded until I guess until you try at the end of your next turn. And then for the second hit, that is 16 damage. Okay. And that will be the end of my turn. Good. Okay. Um, all right. So that is going to be a strength turn next. Um, so,
00:24:39
Speaker
Strint is actually going to, he can move up to half his speed at the end of Draconis' turn without invoking any opportunity attacks. So he's going to kind of rush past you all. And then he's going to move the rest of the way out of the house. The last person he needs to clear is Orianna. So Orianna can get an opportunity attack.
Escape and Draconos's Quest for Redemption
00:25:04
Speaker
Can he see where he's going?
00:25:06
Speaker
Oh crap, I forgot he's blind. Nevermind. That's a good point. Negate all of that. So he is going to wildly begin throwing daggers since he can't stare daggers.
00:25:24
Speaker
in Booyah's direction since Booyah was the one that blinded him. So with disadvantage, first attack Booyah, that is 13. No. Second attack, 16.
00:25:41
Speaker
No, that's close though. He just tries flinging them everywhere. So now he gets a saving throw. Yes. Constitution. Yes.
00:25:58
Speaker
It's a natural one. Oh, oh. The DC is 17, by the way. Well, noted he got a three. And a chandelier falls on him. I will say that I was just kidding. I was just kidding. I mean, it is a natural one, though, so something.
00:26:24
Speaker
Bad for him, good for you should happen. Oh, can we have the house catch fire? Can we have all the fire in the house transition to him? Oh, I know what happens. Oh, okay. What happens? What happens, Eric? What happens? Or is that too... This is gonna be one of those things where he makes it bad for all of us. It would be inconvenient for, well, kind, maybe, not really. What is it? Tell us the thing.
00:27:01
Speaker
I made reference to a thing like way back when... Oh, I don't like this anymore. Looking up CRs. In the last site household that was notable. I'm just now remembering. Oh, that's not bad. Well, there was a thing. So you all here kind of off to the PC's right, Draconis, your left.
00:27:19
Speaker
I gotta look up a CR real quick to make sure it's not throwing stuff.
00:27:27
Speaker
a beam come crashing down and fall into the basement through the floor. And you all hear a gust of wind kind of erupt up, which obviously causes a rush of flames. But you all see down the hallway, conversing through the door, the air elemental that was trapped in a device in last night's house to provide cool air year round. And it has been freed from its cage.
00:27:57
Speaker
So last time this happened, I would just like everyone to remember it. Last time this happened, I died. You're not on a ship. No, but it did indiscriminately attack everything it saw. No, it mostly attacked us. Because that was your one. I think, I don't remember. No, it was my natural 20. It was definitely just natural 20. Anyway. Anyway, excellent. Air elemental. Huzzah.
00:28:24
Speaker
And I'll say just so, it's more incommune for strength. The flames kick up near him to where on his next turn he's going to need to move or else he's going to start taking fire damage. So the stairs are a little bit more on fire. And the Aram elemental looks at the five of us and goes,
00:28:45
Speaker
friends, cool hugs. Okay, so that was Strint's turn. So we're now to Orianna. Orianna, looking up at Strint, hearing what Strint has said, just screams, it's not your house, and turns the fire beam on him.
00:29:08
Speaker
OK, strength strength 19. Hey, he's not thrown somehow decks. That's a natural 20, baby. Nice. So he will take no damage.
00:29:22
Speaker
Um, how do I do that 20? I just thought of what something to do with the, uh, the one, um, as all of this is happening, I, she like screams. This isn't your house, right? Yes. So can I almost, uh, Eric real quick, just regarding your checks, a blinded creature can't see an automatically fails any ability check that requires sight. Ah, so, but with this.
00:29:52
Speaker
The strength check probably isn't. I mean, it's up to you. That occurred to me. In order to necessitate a dex check, you would have to see it coming to dodge it, right? Yeah,
Conclusion and Listener Engagement
00:30:04
Speaker
that's fair. And you would need to brace yourself for the thing. So take back those checks. So he's going to go flying back and take the damage. Draconis, what were you going to say? I guess kind of like I'm still like,
00:30:22
Speaker
in a battle-ready stance, but to myself almost, but I guess, I don't know, is, I guess, because I just hit Dex, so I assume he's still with an earshot. I kind of just say to myself, like, wait, whose house is this? Like, just from hearing her, just a little bit of like a, wait, what? And then that's it, just that. Okay, awesome. 15 damage, so halves to seven fire damage.
00:30:52
Speaker
Well, he doesn't take. Oh, right. Because he failed evasion. Right. Yep. But he still has evasion. So it still halves automatically. Now question. If he's thrown 10 feet, wasn't he on stairs? Yeah. So he goes like tumbling upward up the stairs. Yeah. He's like knocked into a wall or something probably. Okay. There. I just was wondering if
00:31:15
Speaker
He means she's down on the floor, so I don't see how she could like pull him off. Yeah. No, I'm with you. Basically, he does a backward somersault up the stairs. OK. Easy.
00:31:30
Speaker
All right, it is now Rickard's turn. Rickard's gonna continue doing stuff. So he's going to shoot a arrow at strength and he's going to roll a 28, which is going to hit, which is going to do not very much damage. Okay. Barak, it is your turn. So Barak just keeps hammering.
00:32:00
Speaker
You see that? You see that rage? You feel that? He's pointing at Orianna. He says, her brothers, all of them, little kids, taken through that portal into Mabar by his brother that we killed. We didn't murder him. We put down a mad dog. It's destroying her.
00:32:26
Speaker
Go ahead and roll. What would you like me to roll? I'm not impartial here. I need you to... I would say that was less intimidating and more trying to get your point across. So let's go with deception. Persuasion. Okay. And for the excellent RP, let's go ahead and throw advantage on it. Oh, thank you.
00:32:58
Speaker
Stop, shut up. It was a seven and then you gave me advantage. Video's coming back up. I'm gonna need you to get a different, I'm convinced that that one's not weighted properly. I mean, I've been using that die since Drakir entered, that was Drakir's die. Well then, none of these roles have been valid if that's Drakir's die. Drakir's not on the show anymore.
00:33:26
Speaker
No, don't bring it up. Okay. I will change dice. No, Philip, you do not need to change dice. That is just your normal dice. Okay, so, yeah, Draconos, seeing...
00:33:49
Speaker
you've you've been like brought in on the scheme I guess for lack of a better way to put it like they haven't been keeping stuff from you like they they've discussed their in-game with you but you've never really seen the cost
00:34:07
Speaker
of it before in this kind of way. Seeing Orianna just all rage and fear and anger and everything. So that's also getting into your head about like the utopian endgame that they had discussed wanting to set up to where it's not as clear anymore to you. You're still not like
00:34:38
Speaker
you're still not turning on him. Like, it's more of a, we're gonna have a long talk after this fight kind of situation right now. But yeah, you're...
00:34:51
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of where your head's at. Still not quite at a place of throwing down your arms, but maybe you won't kill Orianna. Like, you won't kill this girl. You would probably let Booyah and Rickard go as well, and Bamani. Like, the people that you don't have a personal grievance with, you're less intent on killing and you'll try to talk strength out of it. It's kind of where your head's at now.
00:35:22
Speaker
Gotcha. Okay. Okay. And, Barak, you continue to see the conflicted nature. Just let me know when you want to start quoting Return of the Jedi. I can feel it. Jeff, Return of the Jedi is a movie that came out in 1983.
00:35:45
Speaker
Don't condescend to me right now. OK, so that was barracks turn. OK, the air elemental is going to come sweeping into the room and breathing in, perhaps.
00:36:06
Speaker
It's going to swarm over to Strint, since it was a result of his roll, and try to slam into him as it kind of zooms across the room. And that's gonna be a 24, which hits. Does the elemental have like a side or is it just pure? It's just chaos. It's just, yeah.
00:36:35
Speaker
It's been trapped in this house for a while, so actually probably the person whose voice it recognizes the most, it's probably going to attack first. So that's going to be 11 damage, or no, 12 damage.
00:36:54
Speaker
All right, so that's the elemental's turn. And now the fire is like swirling around it. It almost looks like a fire elemental if you hadn't seen what it actually was. And Strint is trying to mask his face from the air elemental that has come up on him. So now it is Dex's turn. Well, Dex is no longer sure that the only one who would like to hurt him is Strint.
00:37:22
Speaker
He can't see, but he can smell the sulfur nearby still. So he's going to swing wildly with his ribbon weave because he also knows the last thing he saw is that only Draconos was in range of him. So he feels pretty comfortable just swinging out wild. I'm assuming disadvantage. Yes. Yeah.
00:37:45
Speaker
23? You have matched me. So that's a hit. So I hit you. Nice. Because also, unfortunately, because you chose to blind me, I didn't get to see the look of conflicting nature on your face either. You know what? That's right. That's your turn. Oh, okay. Good start.
00:38:15
Speaker
Well, weak finish. So that... 24, 29... 36 points of... I assume it still just sticks. 36 points of bludgeoning damage to Draconos' areas. I don't know where I hit him, because I'm blinded. That's a flak. Flak.
00:38:41
Speaker
And then I'm not going to try to run because it didn't work so great last time. So I guess I'm going to say that that ends my turn. No. Uh, bonus action to take the Perry stance. Okay. And I'm going to look up what that does. I just know it's probably going to help the poor blind man next to an enemy. Um, but at the end of my turn, I get another chance to save it off. Is that right? Yeah, you get it. You get it. Try again.
00:39:10
Speaker
Okay, and it's a constitution. Yes. Saving throw. Okay. Natural 20. So now you're just staring at me. Okay. What would you like to do with our 20? I think here's what I hear you tell me. I've got good perception. I've been in burning houses before.
00:39:40
Speaker
Can I use my natural 20 to get a real good idea of how much longer we've got to run out of here before it collapses? Uh, yeah, you can, you can absolutely do that. Um, the, the house like has clearly already started falling apart. Hence the air element being released. You figure you have probably another 18 to 24 seconds before the floor literally drops out from under you.
00:40:04
Speaker
So, three to four rounds. Okay, and I relay that. I say, hey guys, this thing's got maybe, I'm gonna say 20 seconds to really drive. This thing's got like 20 seconds before we're all done for it. We've got to get a gonzo. All right. Bhimani is going to...
00:40:28
Speaker
Can Barrick respond to that? Sure. The mall is directly above us and a little to the left. Can Barrick, Dex doesn't know, neither does Jeff, if that feat that he has is like a once per day thing. So I know I can super fast get up there, but. Sure, sure. What are you going to say, Draconis?
00:40:48
Speaker
I don't, I as a person don't know what that is. Am I allowed to know? Know what what is. The mall. Yeah. Oh, you know what it is. It's it's the thing that they've come after. The the weapon that Strint has that. Oh, it's the weapon. OK. Yep. Gotcha. OK. OK. So the money is going to try yet again. She begins walking up the stairs towards
00:41:19
Speaker
towards Strint who's kind of grappling with a fire elemental and she basically you see wind form around her and greenish energy as she tries to slam it down on him saying, I may never leave this house.
00:41:41
Speaker
But you're staying with me and he's going to make a wisdom saving throw that is going to be a 14, which is not good enough. So she basically now you see the energy surrounding him try to fight it off, but it fails. So you see greenish energy come out from her and form into this crab creature.
00:42:04
Speaker
that like locks around Strint and you see Purple Energy trying to fight against him but failing. And she pins him down. She looks over her shoulder to you all and says, go, this will be our grave. And like fiery greenish energy is just burning out of her eyes. It is now Buya's turn. Okay.
00:42:31
Speaker
We are takes a quick look around trying to gauge the health of everybody. Kind of a sense does he get? Next. A little above half. Dex, oh, I'm sorry, I've oh, I'm I'm below half. Actually, I'm exactly half. I have 59 hit points remaining. Alright.
00:43:02
Speaker
Record in Belanger. We're done. It's unharmed. All right. Booyah still. And Dex is blind. No, I am no longer blind. Oh, that's right. You saved. All right. Booyah is just going to kind of spread his little arms out a little bit.
00:43:25
Speaker
say Booyah make friend well and his halo just glows brighter. And 70 points of healing spreads out to Dex and Beric as as however you guys need to split them. 35 each. Sure. OK. Booyah say we go now. We need to get them all. Can you bamf?
00:44:02
Speaker
I can. I just, I mean, we won't have time to like last time I tried to run away. I got blinded. Uh, right. Um, but it's actually your turn. Draconis. Oh, well, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to run out the door or not. Um, or if I'm going to try to run up the step.
00:44:24
Speaker
But Booyah knows he's not fast. I mean, you can fly, can't you? Not very fast. My flying is very slow. It's more of a hover. Yeah, it's more of a hover than a fly. So Booyah doesn't really think he could go get it. So. He's going to go ahead and.
00:44:56
Speaker
Go stand at the door because he's reluctant to leave without everybody going with him, that he wants to go with him. Sure. And that's his turn. Okay. Uh, Dr. Konos, it is your turn. Okay. So did I hear them say that we're like 20 seconds away from. Yeah. Yeah. Dex was right in front of you when he said that. I was basically screaming it in your face. Okay. Um,
00:45:26
Speaker
And so what I see is there's decks in front of me and, and, and Barrick and, and the wind month and the Arab elemental. And then a giant crab. Is that correct? Yeah. So a, a giant greenish, uh, ethereal, uh, crab looking monster, uh, emerged from Bamani as she ascended the stairs and is basically pinning straight down on the ground.
00:45:52
Speaker
It's not a giant crab. Don't be ridiculous. It's a crab looking monster. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Um, which was the one that, uh, was it Bhimani who, um, Barak was saying her family used to own this house.
00:46:08
Speaker
No, no, no, no. That was Orianna, the red headed one. Orianna just said that it's not strengths. She didn't say. Oh, she just said it wasn't. Yeah, it is. Yeah. OK. Hmm. So. I'm I'm still pretty pretty. It's taken a pretty taken aback. And I I'm trying to process that. Everything's about to collapse and I'm trying to figure out what what the best option is.
00:46:38
Speaker
I'm going to, is the elemental still fighting people right now? Or is it? The elemental is just thrashing about. It's not actively attacking Strint. Just Strint is being pinned down by Bimani. And you heard, Bimani shouted what she said. So it's pretty clear that her intention is to ensure that this house collapses on Strint. OK.
00:47:05
Speaker
So I'm going to... Ah! So little time! Okay, so I'm going to use a fourth...
00:47:24
Speaker
level spell slot and summon. Oh, my. It says summon the spirit, but it makes it seem like it's physical. So I'm going to use find greater steed and summon a griffin into the room like me that I can mentally kind of tell what I mean, it's connected to me mentally. Yeah. And I'm just going to send it over to
00:47:54
Speaker
the person who has strength. It's not like she and the crab monster are one of the same, right? It came from her, it emerged out of her. Okay, so I'm gonna just send the griffin over to that direction. May I attack of opportunity, the griffin? May I?
00:48:21
Speaker
it being a large creature that just popped into the space. It's zipping right past me and whatnot. Does it have to be summoned at you or can you summon it where you want it? Um, I, let me see, I can summon it within 50, I have a 30 feet range of where I can summon it. Okay. So you could summon it next to her. Yeah. I would just summon it next to her to have it try to attack her or, you know, at least break her concentration to, okay.
00:48:50
Speaker
So, um, so do you want me to go ahead and attack with the Griffin or have it act on your turn? So go ahead. Okay. So that will be, um, and it has a multi attack. So it's a beak attack and a claw attack. So for the beak, it's, uh, 18. Oh, sorry. Uh, 20, 20 for the beak. That's a hit.
00:49:21
Speaker
and that'll be, well, I'll just see if both hit first. And then with its claw is 17. That's a miss. Okay, did the beak hit? Yes, the beak did hit. Okay. So the beak is seven piercing damage. Okay, and then she'll make her concentration check.
00:49:50
Speaker
That is a natural one. So the crab-like monster recoils in pain as it flies back into Bamani and she like stands up and stares at this griffin that's looming over her with murderous intent.
00:50:11
Speaker
And now it is Draconos. I'm assuming that summon spell was your action. Yeah, that was that was an action. OK, so now it is strength's turn. So strength having been freed of the hold spell. Is going to. He kind of looks around and sees the fire. He's still blind.
00:50:38
Speaker
That's fine. So he shakes his head as the hold person spell lets off of him and he reaches back to his cloak and pulls the hood up and as he does he goes invisible.
00:50:56
Speaker
So does he still have a magical aura well it's an invisibility Bell so I'm guessing Hold on let me Let me look at the actual verbiage for this
00:51:11
Speaker
Okay, yeah, you have special sense, so you won't be able to see him. So you can still see him, though nobody else can. He's not aware of your ability. And then he stands up and begins to try to make his way out of the house. Okay, which way does he go?
00:51:41
Speaker
It does not say that it requires any kind of action or bonus action to pull the hood up, according to the spells descriptor. Okay, so he's, he's assuming that nobody can see him. So he is going to try to just make a beeline straight to the front door. So you will get an attack of opportunity on him. Excellent. So Barak lashes out with this as goes past him.
00:52:09
Speaker
I don't know how to express what's happening right now. Oh, are you kidding me? I'm not. I'm not. I'm just. I don't know. OK, this rules so hard. Yeah, hit him. I'm starting to feel bad about it.
00:52:35
Speaker
Well, poor roll on the damage dice. One, five, eight, so 16 plus nine, 25 damage, and I have the sentinel feat, so his movement stops. What? When did you take the sentinel feat? Let's see, when did I get my last... It's not important. I was just... Level 12? Warlock, level eight, so would have been two levels ago.
00:53:03
Speaker
Um okay so uh yeah you basically like uh just the swing of your blade stops him and he you you can I'm gonna say you can see his facial features he looks up at you shocked and stung um and and Barak says and here the man the only man who cares about you slipping away and leaving you to die in an inferno um
00:53:29
Speaker
OK, it is now Orianna's turn. No con save. Oh, thank you. Nineteen. Hey, he can see. And we can see him now, too, right? Because he got hit. No, that's the cloak of invisibility doesn't work that way. Oh, he's using a cloak. OK. That was what the hood was all about. Oh, Eric, it does require an action for the cloak. That's fine. OK.
00:54:00
Speaker
Barak looks over at Orianna and shouts, Orianna, the mall, now, in an attempt to sort of snap her out of this. I'm going to roll a wisdom save for her to see if she breaks out of her intense rage enough to think about this. Well, that's OK. What's her wisdom save?
00:54:23
Speaker
plus two, that's 14, which is her own spell DC, so we'll go with it. Can she just parkour up the stairs? Sure. Okay, do you want a roll for that? Yeah, give me, in order to avoid the air elemental and all that business. Yeah, my thought was just go straight up the side of the stairwell. Yeah. So acrobatics.
00:54:54
Speaker
Okay, our acrobatics is plus eight, so roll to 15, so 23. Yep. So she just launches herself straight up, pulls herself over the railing, and she's going to run up. So with Step of the Wind, she can get 120 feet of speed out of this. So how far is it to get up the stairs?
00:55:18
Speaker
I mean 20. Okay so what does she see when she gets to the top of the stairs? I mean she sees a hallway that extends pretty much straight down with there are two doors on the left, two doors on the right, and one at the end of the hallway.
00:55:40
Speaker
OK, so Berwick shouted that it was up and to the left. Yeah. So she's going to move down the hallway looking through the doors that were whatever it was to the left of Berwick when he said that. No apologies. There's basically the stairs go up and branch off to the left and right. So I was I was assuming she took off the left hallway. So sure. So she's which room would she go into? Because all these are up and to the left, technically.
00:56:08
Speaker
I mean, she's got 80 feet of movement, so I kind of imagine her just moving down the hall, checking each room as she goes. Okay. All the doors are open except for the last room on the right. Okay. And she doesn't see anything as she kind of glances running down the hallway. Is that door locked? It is not.
00:56:33
Speaker
opening the door. Okay, so this is not that it would mean a whole lot to Orianna, but this is last night's former office. And she kind of glancing around sees a section of the room that is not currently on fire. Kind of the back left section has a trunk in the corner. And it seems like the fire is not getting any closer to that trunk.
00:56:59
Speaker
Um, I don't know how much I had 120 feet when I started. So I don't know how much I've got left, but I would like to move towards that trunk. You can get to the trunk. Okay. She moves to the trunk. The trunk is locked. Okay. She has these tools, but probably, I don't know how much movement have I used to get here.
00:57:19
Speaker
I mean, is the 120 feet of movement just that way? So she can she can get 80 feet with just her using her bonus action. Gotcha. So if she needed her action to get here, then she doesn't have an action to pick with yet. Yeah, I'll say that she can try to pick the lock on this turn. Cool. These tools go. Nineteen. Nineteen. That does not succeed. OK. Tools. She can't quite get it right. All right.
00:57:49
Speaker
It is now Rickard's turn. Rickard is going to also begin making his way back.
00:58:03
Speaker
trying to kind of navigate and figure out what what the next best move is. But before he does that, OK, so he kind of gets to the doorway and sees the floor beginning to bow and like struggling to keep its shape. And he says,
00:58:24
Speaker
I'm sorry, but this is all I can do. That's not his exit. I'm sorry, but this is all I can do to help. And he kind of extends his hand down and you see a spiky vines kind of grow out and weave in and out of the floor.
00:58:38
Speaker
And basically he's used spike growth, which means it's difficult to rain, but you get a sense it's reinforced that section of the floor to where you all won't lose your exit first, basically. And that's 20 foot radius, is that right? Yeah, so basically the whole landing area in here, the 40 foot area, is now covered in these thorns. So he's reinforced this section of the floor.
00:59:09
Speaker
Um, Barak is Barak's turn right? Yes. Okay. Uh, Barak is going to use his telekinesis ability. So I need strength to make a strength, just a strength check opposed by my charisma. 20. Nice. 22. So I grab.
00:59:39
Speaker
Strand with telekinesis, okay And I want to move him Let's see I can move him 30 feet Okay, I want to move him into a patch of fire so that his shape is apparent and
01:00:05
Speaker
So Beric just reaches out and there's, you know, whatever sound Strint makes, and there's the obvious signs of something being slid across the floor as Beric's hand moves into the fire. And he's just like, tell him, Strint, tell him about the sewer filled with bodies. Tell him about the kids' torture. Tell him who'd tortured him until he was ready for you to come in and make your grand appearance as his rescuer.
01:00:34
Speaker
You sick piece of trash. Strint, I know it takes an action, but just for dramatic flair. He reaches up and slides the hood down as you're getting him closer to the fire. And he like struggling against the telekinesis, like looks at you, Draconis, and says, don't believe them. You know what actually happened. I think he does.
01:01:03
Speaker
Uh, I just say, I'll say to myself, or I guess kind of, kind of in his direction, but more, um, softly, um, I never told them that you were my rescuer.
01:01:21
Speaker
Go ahead and give me another role, Barak. I know that you used an action, but I'm basically- What would you like this role to be? Let's go with persuasion again. Okay. With advantage for the good RP. Okay. All right.
01:01:52
Speaker
and eight. All right. That's not great. The one time you turn on your camera, all of a sudden, no time has come up. Hey, I'm just yeah. So that is the eight was better. So that was that's an 18. Okay.
01:02:11
Speaker
Uh, so yeah, Draconis, you're still confused and what's your, um, what's your, I have your character sheet in front of me. I can just, um, um, so yeah, it's just like, like you said with your, your muttering, like things aren't adding up anymore. Like, uh, you're, you're getting more and more confused, um, by what's going on. Um, and, uh, now.
01:02:41
Speaker
It is, that was Barrett. Air elemental. Air elemental is just gonna, I mean, it's not contained by bars or anything. So it's gonna hoof it out the back window. Be free. Yeah. Freedom. Nothing terrible will happen. Cold hugs for everybody. Dex, it is your turn. Okay.
01:03:12
Speaker
Dex is gonna go check on Orianna. So I click my boots. You just wanna show that you're faster than her still, right? That's what's happening right now? No, I almost, as soon as you said Orianna, get the ball or whatever it was, I almost said, no, I got it. But I didn't wanna take that away from you. So I'm just gonna do what I was gonna do anyway. Now I understand that I am still engaged with Draconos, correct? Yes.
01:03:40
Speaker
Now, riddle me this, because the disengage bonus action just means that I'm able to disengage without incurring an opportunity attack, right? Yes. Last time I did that and he attacked me anyway, so I'm not gonna bother, I'm just gonna try to run away and let him have his attack. Okay. If he wants to take it, he seems. You could use your bonus action to dodge, which would at least give him disadvantage on the attack. Yeah, but then that drops me down to 160 feet, it'll still get me, there we go.
01:04:16
Speaker
Well, because I was thinking with 240, I might be able to get up there 160 feet. Well, no, but it won't even do that. It'll only give me 80 because I'll need an action to try to pick the lock once there. I mean, that's what it took Orianna to get there. I I feel like at this point, I'm OK. Let me let me say this before you do that. I am going to try to run without without doing any sort of bonus action anything. So he gets one if he wants to take it. Period.
01:04:44
Speaker
I think I'm so focused on the interaction between, um, Strint and, and, uh, Barrick that I'm not, I see you go and I might try to do it like, uh, like a last minute thing, but I don't think I'm focused on you right now. Cause you're not actively coming at me. So you are, or you are not attacking me? No, I'm not attacking. Okay. Long winded way to say it.
01:05:11
Speaker
Well, then I'm gone. I mean, quick as you please, as long as you please, it go very quickly, because it's 240 feet around. So, or 240, yeah. So, 240 to turn. I am up there real quick and easy, and I also see the locked chest, and I say to Orianna, did you give it a try? Yeah.
01:05:41
Speaker
All right, tough one then. All right, let's see what I can do. It's tough. All right, you can give it a shot. Slide of hand, right? Thieves tools. Yeah, thieves tools. I have these tools. I don't I don't have any number in front of you. It's your proficiency. Yeah, it's decks and your it's your dexterity and your proficiency. Okay, so yes, it's okay. Yeah. So yeah, the same as your sleight of hands would be. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, great. That's a 25.
01:06:09
Speaker
Nice. That will do it. So yeah, you hear the lock click and you open it up and a cold rush of air erupts out and hits you in the face as you see a mall seemingly made of glacial ice sitting there in front of you with a wrapped wooden handle.
01:06:30
Speaker
Okay, I can't use this, but I can like strap it to myself. You can still carry it. Yeah. Right. Well, I want to be able to carry it, but still have my ribbon weave if I need to. Yeah. So can I strap it to my back? Yeah. Okay. What can I do now? Because let's say I've used how much of my movement? You can move action move. So you've used 80 feet of your movement.
01:06:57
Speaker
And then I did an action. And so my bonus action can be to move again. Yep. With your dash action. Yep. Wait, but did you use? Oh, could you click your your shoes? That's right. Okay, that's my question. How far have I moved? Because that will determine if I've moved 80 feet. Okay, I moved 80 feet, which means yeah, I still have my entire bonus. But I'd be leaving Oriana up there without this thing that's keeping the fire away. So I think I might just be like, you could holler out the window.
01:07:27
Speaker
I was thinking about that. How far of a, okay, that's why I go to the window. How far? Because the courtyard outside this window, because we've done this before. Are there bars? Well, actually out this window is the garden where you've got Cassian. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay, courtyard garden, pardon me for. But there are bars on the window, so you would need to remove those somehow. I mean, I can't do that right now. I use bonus action bar removal.
01:07:54
Speaker
No, okay, fine. Then I guess I'm gonna tell Orianna, stay close to me. I won't, I won't outrun you. Let's try to keep this, cause I'm assuming Dex noticed also that the fire was not encroaching upon the glade. Yeah. Or the mall. So stay close to me and next chance we get, we'll head down. So I'm going, basically what I'm saying is, hey, Phillip, if you would like to,
01:08:23
Speaker
ready her for when it's my turn back around again and we can go down together. It would be you readying something because it will be her turn before it's your turn. Okay, okay, I'm gonna, can I, I can't ready a bonus action though to me. Oh, that's, yeah. That's what I'm saying, when it comes to her turn. Okay, got it. She waits for me and we go together. Unfortunately, it's the best way to do this. If that's, if that's a plausible thing to do, then that's what we will do. Yep. Okay.
01:08:53
Speaker
Okay, so that was Dex's turn. It's Behmani's turn. So, she is going to see Strint being held over the fire. She unfortunately can't do cold person anymore. She looks to you, Barak, and she says, what do we do with him?
01:09:27
Speaker
Eric doesn't even look up. He dies. And she like coils back again and her fist is shaking as air comes around it and she kind of does an uppercut.
01:09:42
Speaker
from a distance, like it's almost like a shadow punch. So he needs to make a strength saving throw. That is a failure. So he's going to take some damage. Never find a detent on any.
01:10:07
Speaker
So he takes 20 points of damage. Beric, as you're holding him with telekinesis, you feel a whole lot of force upwards from underneath his chin that your hold maintains. And so his head kind of snaps back. He doesn't die or anything, but just, you know, his body wasn't able to go with the punch at all. So he had to take all of the force. And so,
01:10:39
Speaker
And then Bamani, after she strikes, she kind of points back over behind herself and looks back at you, Draconos. And she looks to you, Barak, and says, is he one of the allies? I don't know. I don't know anymore. And she kind of glares at you, Draconos. Barak would have been trying to keep count to a degree. How long do we have?
01:11:06
Speaker
This is the second round since. Since you got the information, although Rickard did reinforce this floor, so that probably added a few more rounds to it. OK. Yeah, loads of bolt went glances at Barrick. You want to try banish? No killing. OK, so we are sharp shoots.
01:11:36
Speaker
at strength. Okay. You can do it with advantage since he's restrained. Okay. That's going to be 23. Um, that is a miss. Okay. Oh, let's do it again. So he just moves his head slightly. Uh, second two roles were a three and a 20.
01:12:07
Speaker
Wow. Okay. My first 20. Nice. Yay. Everybody gets one this session it feels like. Okay. All right. Go ahead and roll damage, and then we can talk about your 20. He is humanoid, correct? I'm not understanding. He is that. All right. He's going to take...
01:12:39
Speaker
30 points of damage. Whoo! Okay. Make that 32, I can't add. All right. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What? More damage? There's a crit, there's a crit, right? Yeah, you gotta double the dice. Okay, so then add, I guess 12 more if I double the dice? Yep. Okay. Whatever. You can say, that didn't sound like a Booyah crit.
01:13:09
Speaker
So yeah, the second bolt makes purchase. I have something for your 20, Randy, if you are prepared to give it up to me. Yeah, why not? Okay. I don't have to sit here and try to think of something. So, it's just an absurd scenario, but I told myself there was one more 20, it would happen. Okay, so,
01:13:37
Speaker
Is it the chandelier? The chandelier falls now, right? No. So after you fire that shot, Booyah, and you see the bolts like bury in Srin's chest, he's not dead yet, but he looks like in a bad way. He's bleeding really bad from that shot and the fire and everything going on. Booyah, you over the roar of the fire and everything going on around you, you feel movement down by your hip. Oh my.
01:14:07
Speaker
and you look and you see your bag. Oh no. Moving. Oh no. And you see something struggling against the closure. Oh no. And you see. What's in the bag? You see. Booyah is always curious.
01:14:34
Speaker
The video would probably open the bag to see what's going on. OK, so you reach down just very kind of like absentmindedly with two fingers and kind of spread the bag open and you see a tiny mouse look up and regard you and kind of scream. And then it pokes its head up and looks at the tiefly across the room and like scatters down your leg and like sprints across the room and like runs up Draconis's leg and kind of
01:15:03
Speaker
land like stops on like the ridge of your breastplate trachonos just how does this mouse upstage everything all the time
01:15:16
Speaker
And in that moment, Draconos just kind of everything comes back to you and you realize that you've become everything that you never wanted to be and you've become everything that Kras trained you not to be.
01:15:46
Speaker
And you just very gently reach up and take Cashew in your hand and look at the world in a way that you haven't in a long time. Whoo, little Cashew. All right, it is your turn, Draconos.
01:16:12
Speaker
Oh, is it now? Okay, I had one plan and it is not the plan anymore. All right, so it's kind of still the plan. So I have that moment and I look up and I see, I guess the only person I would still recognize would be Barrett, because Dex isn't in the room, right? Yep. Okay, so I would see,
01:16:38
Speaker
and I would see the flames and I would see everything and then I would get my eyes locked onto a strength. And I would, cause he's still being held down, right? Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's suspended in the air for your telekinesis. Okay. So I would walk over to him and just, I don't know what he's saying or anything, but I never stopped my stride and I get my, um, Griffin.
01:17:08
Speaker
Well, real quick, the integrity of the ceiling, is it the ceiling or the floor that's wanting to come down? I mean, all, but the floor is reinforced at this point. So you're not in any danger of falling through right now. Oh, okay. So I walk over to him and I wish there was a way that I could get him to like one.
01:17:37
Speaker
Uh, so I just slowly let, I just stare at him with kind of the same anger that I had, um, when I very first looked at, um, Barak at the beginning of the fight, but less just pure hatred and more, um, hurt and, and pain. Um, and then I slowly turn around and look at Barak and just one like hot anger tear.
01:18:07
Speaker
falls out of my eye. Yeah, I slowly let my axe slide. I was holding it a little bit up, so I'm letting it slide down to where I'm grasping the handle. And then I'm going to cast my bonus action first. So let's see, what do we got? So let's go with, I'll do blinding smite as a bonus.
01:18:38
Speaker
And then I'll kind of slowly and I have my, uh, Griffin kind of where like, if I were to fall backwards, I would land on his back. Like he's kind of protecting me from the back. Cause I'm still like I've remembered, but I'd still kind of keeping it to where like, it's just me and strength. And so I pick up my, uh, acts like slowly up over my head. And then for the first hit I do just kind of almost like a straight vertical down.
01:19:08
Speaker
Tomahawk hit, looking to hit right in the center of his head. Okay, he's restrained so you get advantage. Sweet. So for the first of the two, nope. We'll go with 30 to hit. Okay, so that'll be the first hit. Go ahead and roll damage on that one.
01:19:37
Speaker
Yeah, I was like, I kind of want to hit damage on that first. And so that's with Lining Smite. So that'll be... Alright, so that's 25 damage for the first hit.
01:19:51
Speaker
Okay, so hold on. So you walk up to him like you did, and he's fully restrained. And so he's like struggling to speak, but like shaking his head as much as he can saying, Draconis, you know that we're your family. We looked out for you. We did everything we could to protect. And you bury your axe in his forehead.
01:20:19
Speaker
Okay. Can I, can I still, uh, before, can I still have my second? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So for the second one, I quickly yank it out of his head and give like a very guttural, just almost like high pitch crying scream and just swing, uh, horizontally and try to lop off his head.
01:20:49
Speaker
I mean, I'm going to say that you, you do it. Like you, yeah, you succeed. Okay. So then the head flops and then, and then I guess the body can, uh, bear creatures over a telekinesis and retrieves his mask, slides it back onto his face. I'll discuss mouse boy. I like this mouse. I make sure that the mouse, uh, mouse's eyes are covered and doesn't see the body.
01:21:19
Speaker
Okay. Derek speaks into the sending stone. Dex, you coming? Yeah. Let's go, Orianna. He's dead. Who's the most hurt out of- Can I get downstairs out of the fire first? Oh, yeah, sorry. Thank you. Me and Orianna come downstairs. I have them all. Can we get the hell out of this house? Booyah goes out the door.
01:21:50
Speaker
Me and my Griffin go out the door. He's very good at squeezing through tight spaces. That's awesome. Okay, so yeah, everybody's outside of the house. And we don't look back as the house collapses in in a blazing inferno.
01:22:13
Speaker
But that's why he came with us, right? Like she didn't, you know, since strength, dad, she didn't hold her whole. We're going to die in here. I think that's good. Is is is Dex's nose still like fully busted? Well, I would have to assume so. Yeah. OK, so I think 35. I mean, it's like a once every long rest action thing, and it's called lay on hands.
01:22:43
Speaker
Um, which is, um, extra, you get 80 HP back. So I'm just going to kind of walk over and see that his nose is still very busted and just kind of not necessarily touch them, but just kind of get my hand close and, uh, have magic leave my hand and kind of fix his nose. Okay. How much would it take you to get to full decks? Uh, 24. Okay. So subtract 24 from that and that's all you need to give up.
01:23:12
Speaker
OK, and then can I fix my nose? Yes, yes, yes. OK, so I'll fix his and then I'll kind of just like flinch my fist and then the magic returns back to me and fixes my nose. OK, I got I got I got it. Hey, America, America, got it. Good. And we need to pick up. Right. I got to get on the stone. Hey, hey, hey, what's up, buddy? Um.
01:23:42
Speaker
Come get us. All right. Towards the pillar of smoke. Yeah, yeah, we'll be there. That's us. All right, I'll be there in five. Dex lays down. I kind of, Draconis kind of surveys the group now that he's able to kind of see them for the first time and not
01:24:12
Speaker
a battle stance, and just kind of says, I had no idea what you guys went through, and then specifically looks kind of at Barrick and says I'm sorry for everything that you had to go through. I'm not, I have a lot that I need to think about
01:24:41
Speaker
and that I need to reflect on. So this is where I will leave you. Christ is in a row. He's been through a lot too, but he'd be overjoyed to know you real well. I don't know if I can face him just yet with what I've been doing, but I will make sure to... Also Dex is Lord of Mistmarsh now. So if you want to... I have a horse there.
01:25:32
Speaker
I'm gonna go there.
01:25:42
Speaker
that is still there. And I'll turn back and say, I'll keep an eye out for you and help you where I can. Good luck. And then to that, I turn back around and we fly off into the distance. End of episode.
