00:01:44
Speaker
I've peaked as the last one. I might change my LinkedIn ah employment history to those things. I've got more listed out for you, mate. Honestly, I think I'll go through them and just do one episode where i'll just read them all like really deadpan.
00:01:58
Speaker
Like last one laughing and no one is allowed to laugh at any of them. Or it's like no like you're reading the shipping forecast. Absolutely. That's
At Sea: Preparing for Battle
00:02:06
Speaker
what was thinking. Okay. Yes. Okay. for it now i'm thinking of you know like what's al go going to say what's old gal gonna say well speaking of shipping forecasts um we see a number of ships uh sparkling out on the sword not sword coast fucking hell uh the the gold view out of gold view port gold port keep no gold viewport fuck and and we see you looking i've broken in shit i've broken in and he's sitting on the docks dangling long toes looking out holding the orb and and he's he's he's so
00:02:37
Speaker
Oh, God. He's looking out to the water, and um he's holding the orb, and he says... well Ooh, Drain-tality!
00:02:48
Speaker
It's initiative!
Dragon Battle Begins
00:02:49
Speaker
Alpha firebolts a bitch, and Seth charges in to slay it! Tharok does the same, and Enron's also doing it, too. The dragon downs Emron and Nyx, shatters a pillar. Baal does nothing, but screams and tries to talk to it.
00:03:03
Speaker
Alpha takes out another pillar with a chromatic orb, which bounces and bounces and bounces and bounces and bounces down on his old fucking head, alongside twenty-ish blue dragon eggs!
00:03:14
Speaker
Nithravar activates Seth's spell book to misty step onto a bitch. And Emron nattied 20s his death save. The dragon lightning bolts Tharuk and Alpha. Nyx flies to the eggs.
00:03:24
Speaker
Baal entangles the eggs to try to save them and flies up to. Seth kills the dragon. Tharuk just keeps smashing a bitch and finds the arm of his friend, McBenner.
00:03:35
Speaker
Baal fails a double-footed dropkick to Tharuk to get him off the dragon.
Battle Aftermath and Strategy
00:03:40
Speaker
Seth throttles his closet. Woof. Farrakh mourns McBenner. Baal revives the dragon only for Seth to fucking kill it again.
00:03:48
Speaker
Baal just overheats Seth's scimitar and Seth's like, I could just choose to drop this if I want to, and he chooses to drop it because he passes the same. Alpha offers some gold. Meanwhile, Nyx is up high with the eggy
Prepping for Final Boss Battle
00:04:00
Speaker
eggs.
00:04:00
Speaker
He can see the roof getting hewn off by some gargantuan fucking claw ripping off that roof. It's Sean. Dralicar, the claw cleaves the structure in twain and she seems to be charging up some breath weapon of doom.
00:04:20
Speaker
Okay. Before anything starts... I want you all review exactly how many spell slots you have remaining. Check all of your resources, check all of the things that you have at your arsenal that exists outside of your character sheet as well.
Banter Before the Storm
00:04:40
Speaker
That's like saying, make sure you've done your last will and testament before... Fuck me. This is get yourself equipped before the final boss battle. That's what that is. Level up, side quest. Don't use the tutorial boss. Don't you have a free crit or something in a back pocket somewhere?
00:04:54
Speaker
No, I have no free quit. We have, as a team, can just decide that one particular role is ah natural 20. Oh, in my bag of holding, I've got an airship.
00:05:07
Speaker
Wow. Okay, that's handy. Yeah. Is there a map? but There was a map last time. Is there a map?
Fearing the Dragon Encounter
00:05:16
Speaker
Yes. My heart is going on this one. I can boot that I was going to start us off and then...
00:05:22
Speaker
roll in, but give me two ticks. no we we we like I have a portfolio of pressed flowers. That's definitely going to come in handy. Yeah, is there anything in the cloak of many patches? I do have a small jar of so sugar that makes things taste like sap ab.
00:05:36
Speaker
You could go to Chandra L. Carr and say, want some sugar, sweetie? You're not sweet enough. feel like Go the full Shrek donkey route. I like it. Yeah. I mean, of course you're girl, dragon. Speaking of feminine beauty.
00:05:55
Speaker
oh god we're gonna die quicker than we thought they're gonna fucking murder shrek 5 i already called that i'm calling it now it looks it doesn't look good like they' they they've done they've done sonic to it haven't they they've done what they did to sonic originally yeah but i don't think they'll hear the fat out cry i mean beneath their piles of money probably yeah speaking of which i have a lot of money can i use that in some way to defend uh my mind The rich do all the time in real world. Can I just spend my way out of this?
00:06:25
Speaker
Can I Elon Musk my way of this? Danny, you've just sent us counter to see. I just want to
Confronting Shondralikar
00:06:31
Speaker
spend my way out of it. oh I don't like it. Oh God. I don't like it. I've just offered... Oh, fuck Well, not The majority of my gold I've just offered to barl because I'm still...
00:06:42
Speaker
You've got to clarify how much that is. That will depend on how many revives you can do. very important you tell me how much that is. And it's also dependent on how many spell slots I have left to do it. yeah i Well, I won't say anything as of yet. depends It depends if there's enough nervous kind nervous That's enough nervous chit-chat.
00:07:00
Speaker
a
00:07:04
Speaker
The heat of the day still clings onto these jagged stones as dusk begins to bleed into night. Around you, this rocky basin stretches wide and cracked, scattered with sun-bleached bones and shattered obsidian, glinting in the rising moon.
00:07:28
Speaker
The air smells of scorched earth and something sharper,
00:07:34
Speaker
thick and bitter on the tongue. You stand on this raised outcrop at this basin's centre. Imagine a... humongous a satellite dish almost turned ah upside with its central spire, which you now stand upon.
00:07:58
Speaker
All around, the desert winds whisper through clefts in the remaining stonework on this platform, though Shondralikar has made a short work of it. Above, the moon is just beginning to crest the horizon. Silver light casting long, warped shadows across these ravaged temple ruins, where once stone carvings lined the walls in reverence to some Yuan-Ti god.
00:08:23
Speaker
Now, only rubble and dragon lightning marks remain.
00:08:33
Speaker
You can still see those furrowed inlets, the smoke whispering off where the dragon's last breath, the younger dragon I'm referring to now, was taken.
00:08:47
Speaker
You see its eggs, what remains nested above you and leaking, oozing over Alpha, who's covered in an eggy membrane.
00:09:05
Speaker
You, the party still yet, and maybe never named, arrived at a battle that was never truly yours,
00:09:20
Speaker
but the final blow blow you struck.
00:09:25
Speaker
Shondralikar, the matriarch of this kingdom. has as our girls described, torn off the walls of this chamber like it's paper.
00:09:37
Speaker
Wings beating the air like thunder, her eyes like twin lightning storms lock onto all of you with this primal fury. Smoke and crackling arcs of electricity dance across her horns and her maw and her gullet as she rears back and unleashes this bolt of lightning, not at you, not yet, but skyward.
Critical Choices in Battle
00:10:01
Speaker
Splitting the skies in warning, in a roar that shakes the stone beneath your feet. You are interlopers in her storm now. and need you all to make dexterity saving throws as this entire platform you're on, which is already losing stability, just vibrates aggressively.
00:10:20
Speaker
Is there still the secondary platform above us as well? Yes. but the that the vines the what I think Bal you conjured something that like was nesting eggs up there yeah it's it spike growth wild growth it was entangled entangled thank you yeah so like there's it's being supported purely by Bal's concentration here I'm no longer... i wasn't I stopped concentration on it last session.
00:10:49
Speaker
ah yeah, because Nyx is holding the X, isn't he? The weapon of Seth that was striking. And Nyx is flying, in so am I still making a dex saving and throw? No, you're not, Nyx. Okay. ah Alpha, what did you get?
00:11:05
Speaker
Just for clarification, I still have to roll with disadvantage, but I got an unnatural 20. You are not prone. Emron, what did you get? 17. You are knocked prone.
00:11:16
Speaker
Seth, what did you get? 8. You are knocked prone. And at this point, I think you're stood like on the carcass of this dragon and you sort of tumble off with some force.
00:11:28
Speaker
Bar, what did you get? ah So Bar's got his draconic wings out as well, but he is resting atop it. I got 19. I'll allow you to roll with advantage because you you have wings.
00:11:40
Speaker
don't know if I'll do better than my previous one, but I'll take the advantage anyway with a big old thank you very much. And it was 17, second time out. You're still knocked prone. Tharok.
00:11:53
Speaker
18. You're prone. And Nix, you are in flight, so no need to roll.
00:12:00
Speaker
You stand or fly... upon a nest of slaughter. This impossibly large, only the upper body is visible.
00:12:13
Speaker
This impossibly large colossus of Chandralekar wrapped around this platform. She focuses her fury for a few moments, trying to read the scene and recovering from the...
00:12:26
Speaker
I imagine when a dragon breathes fire, it leaves sort of like a chilly-like sensation in one's mouth and you need a few sort of swallows to to get over it.
00:12:36
Speaker
What do you do in those moments where she is looking to target you with her ire? Go. ah Bal is going to... scoop the rest of the gold having last at the end of last episode told Seth to just fuck off and kind of leave the adult dragon be after he's kind of re-slain it.
00:12:59
Speaker
ah Alpha came over with money. Baal's just going to scoop stand himself up scoop that towards ah the corpse of this adult dragon and he's going to go to revive it again.
00:13:10
Speaker
So I'm using my action to cast a revivify with how much gold, I need 300 worth of it, but how much gold alpha gave over. I
Weighing Sacrifices
00:13:19
Speaker
have enough to cover your 300.
00:13:21
Speaker
Okay. That's, I'm without hesitation, without anything else. That's his focus right now.
00:13:28
Speaker
And as that incantation starts, anyone else doing ah anything else in this time? ah Yes, Seth will not. He'll be staring up in awe, first at Aya, at Baal and Confusion, and then at Aya, at this this just size, scope, scale of this beast above him.
00:13:47
Speaker
ah But Nithravar will be reaching a finger into his spellbook, quite deep in the spellbook, and he'll be quietly... and He'll be ah speaking an incantation out loud,
00:13:59
Speaker
and against Seth's with, you I don't know. but I'm already sure how this is working at the moment, but he basically he's going to start the process of casting, ah lemon's tiny hut.
00:14:11
Speaker
Uh, but Seth isn't, but he is, um, it's a minute to cast it. That's how long it takes to cast it. So that's what Nithra, Nithra will be, I'm nervous as shit.
00:14:23
Speaker
Nithra will be doing in that time. um Yeah. And if it manages to get it out, awesome. ah If something happens or it gets, you know, whatever. Yeah, that's, that's, that's, yeah. I'm going to stop talking. And Nithrava sort of has to make some sort of ah component contribution.
00:14:42
Speaker
ah And is vocalizing to itself. But there is gestures that Nithravar is making whilst... It's almost like Nithra... I hate this name sometimes.
00:14:53
Speaker
Nithravar... Oh, Mark. Nithravar. Nithravar.
00:14:59
Speaker
knows exactly how to pull the spell off and begins doing it. And those of you who can see Seth or have the periphery vision really to concentrate on Seth and not this giant dragon will see that despite Seth not and wanting to voluntarily voluntarily be involved in making this spell happen, like Seth's hands are moving in sync with Nivrifar. He is one of them as being the puppet, of the puppet master. like They're just...
00:15:25
Speaker
doing the exact same gestures, though so vocally contributing nothing. So you're working on that. Yeah. Nix, you're holding eggs. ah The last we left.
00:15:37
Speaker
So yeah. So Nix is just kind of paralyzed in flight. with his purple ephemeral wings just kind of flapping there as his pupillous eyes are just giant orbs of shock, fear, confusion.
00:16:00
Speaker
he's just kind of stood there midair, just holding these eggs. And he becomes really painfully aware that he's holding these dragon eggs as Shondralakar is there in all her mighty.
00:16:16
Speaker
And yeah, he's he's not moving. He's not talking. and He's just kind of stood there
Decisions of Survival
00:16:24
Speaker
in in that paralytic. as Have you landed? So you're just floating?
00:16:30
Speaker
Just floating. yeah As soon as she came down, it's almost like that
00:16:37
Speaker
paralyzed any sense of like what to do. um And he's still he still is, I guess he's still in that state where he hasn't really thought about what's the best course of action. What can I do in the back of his mind? He's also aware from ah Prego
00:16:59
Speaker
on message of the spider who swims saying, never take audience with ah hate you a dragon again. again ah That is also in the back of his mind. So there's a lot of triggers firing in his mind right now and action is far removed from his his abilities. Okay.
00:17:23
Speaker
Anyone else want to declare in these 10 seconds really that you have to do anything what you're doing? ah How high up is Nick's Well, you the platform before the lower end platform a tilted and you were scooping up the eggs and you started to descend. So I'd say 30 feet in the air.
00:17:41
Speaker
Cool. Emron's going to sort of, from prone, he's going to pick himself up and I'm going to cast Bless on myself, Alpha and Nyx. Thanks, buddy.
00:17:53
Speaker
Just in case at first level. So Emron sort of and calls on Aledo's aid. Alito could do with your Elp right about now. and um okay I cast Bless upon Alpha myself and Nyx.
00:18:07
Speaker
So Alpha and Therok, just declare what you're doing in these opening seconds as Shondralakar is just recovering from an expelled breath. Alpha's obviously offered gold to Baal, and he just kind of... He basically opened his satchel up to him.
00:18:26
Speaker
He looks up, and this is fear for Alpha in every sense. the ah Possibly a sense of impending doom, almost, just as a gae gauges up and just looks. a gonna try and he's He's trying to speed up. He doesn't know what to do, so he's going to help Baal get the gold.
00:18:45
Speaker
And then... in a panic and almost possibly maybe the most human type of thing that he's ever done he's just going to try and wipe off any remaining dragon membrane that's actually on him he's just to give the gold to ball and then while ball's trying to do is revivify stuff he's just going to be like no no get it all off get it all off and this is this is a genuinely speed rush normally calm collective this is just trying get any remnants of these eggs off of him.
00:19:14
Speaker
It's like all of the 90s TV's kids show. You're covered in gunge and this is a shower you need. yeah yes You're like Randy in the yeah in in South Park when the internet runs out, mate.
00:19:31
Speaker
ah Finally, Tharok. I'm trying to build tension here, guys. Let's not do that. Farok has never encountered anything like this before. He loves to fight. He doesn't particularly have any fear of death, but he'll get up and he will just almost with bewildered curiosity,
00:19:52
Speaker
And a tinge of fear. Farrakh didn't quite know it was possible to feel dread like this at the prospect of a fight. And he's feeling it right now. He's got McBenner's hand in one hand.
00:20:04
Speaker
And instinctively, he's not picking up the great acts in an act of violence. It's just hanging loose in his hand as he just picks that up as well. And he's just looking around...
00:20:17
Speaker
at everything here and is just trying to take this in while still feeling very sad about what's happened to his friend. Okay.
00:20:28
Speaker
So, Shondrela Karr catches her breath and just sort of circles around your platform again. And lands two giant claws the same size as the adult dragon and the dragon that you killed onto the platform.
00:20:47
Speaker
One deliberately squishing Nithrava. I didn't struggle with this before. Nithrava. Thank you. if you didn't say the name, you killed the wrong thing. So it doesn't affect me. Nithrava dies, but Nithrava survives.
00:21:02
Speaker
And one nas lot coming straight down onto Emron, who also tried to make a spell in that moment.
Tense Reasoning with Shondralikar
00:21:09
Speaker
I'm
00:21:13
Speaker
going get you to roll for Nithravar, please, Mark. I need to make a strength saving throw. Emron, need you to make a strength saving throw, please, as this claw just sort of pins you, attempts to pin you.
00:21:24
Speaker
do i get it's Is that with Bless or without? You managed to get the spell away because it was a six second cast. Thank you. Yeah.
00:21:33
Speaker
And we all know that Emron is a quick fire. a Strength saving throw, yeah? Yeah. Okay. I haven't got the stats, but I'm assuming a Quasite, ah ethereal Quasite has pretty fuck all strength. So I rolled a nine on a d20, so I'm assuming it's going to be like a minus one.
00:21:49
Speaker
So eight. Quickly Google it for you. quite I mean, it's not going to be a plus, is it? Let's be honest. Yeah. ah It's minus three. Oh shit. Well, okay. Six then. Yeah. Okay.
00:22:00
Speaker
ah Fucking weak ass bitch. It deserves to get squished. Emron? I got 10. Okay. So, Emron, this claw, the size of a house, just sort of pins you down.
00:22:14
Speaker
Doesn't harm you, but you are restrained.
00:22:19
Speaker
you're able to get your You're able to get your spell away, but like you you now will lose the ability to to semantically perform. That makes sense. Nithrafar just gets squished.
00:22:34
Speaker
Rest in peace.
00:22:38
Speaker
And then there is a low resonating bellow. The following will only be spoken in Draconic. What? The following is spoken in Draconic.
00:22:54
Speaker
Defiler.
00:23:00
Speaker
Exile. Exile. I had my doubts.
00:23:08
Speaker
I should have killed you and I had the chance.
00:23:16
Speaker
The whole time, the whole platform you're on is just shaking.
00:23:22
Speaker
And Chandra Lekar's frame is too big for her to like look at you square on. She's having to almost like a fish side eye you with her head to the side of this platform.
00:23:36
Speaker
How long is this cast, Baal? Six seconds, single action.
00:23:43
Speaker
And as she finishes that sentence and sees her child begin to animate again.
00:23:53
Speaker
And when you feel that claw lift and it just goes to immediately snatch that dragon
00:24:06
Speaker
like it's the size of a football off that platform. It sort of scrapes it off that platform. There is an opportunity tack there if anyone was going to take it.
00:24:19
Speaker
I'll take it and throw the eggs at it.
00:24:23
Speaker
All eyes dart to self. And the dragon that you slayed and then revived and then slayed and then revived fucking hell is so black page caressed into her bosom and lowered beyond your sight.
Resolution and New Threat
00:24:53
Speaker
Why?
00:24:56
Speaker
Why have you dishonoured me so?
00:25:02
Speaker
This eye is just... The pupil is just thinned even tighter on you, Baal. As this claw returns back onto the platform.
00:25:16
Speaker
So... Baal's got these kind of flaming wings protruding from his back. He's cast this spell. He's kind of breathed this life back in, but he is not looking up. He's not looking into the ah fearful image of Sean Dralakar. He knows exactly what he would see.
00:25:37
Speaker
ah He has seen this before. This isn't his first kind of time seeing the form of Chandranakar. His hand, again, as it did the day he thought he was going to die in front of it and was exiled, is shaking, much like it was on the docks. Beach Barrow Port on the way here when he thought he caught a whiff of this on the wind.
00:26:00
Speaker
ah he is He's terrified, but he will not look up and and meet this thing's gaze, not through kind of disrespect at all. Almost actually in respect, his head is bowed.
00:26:13
Speaker
And the moment did the dragon, um the younger dragon is kind of scraped away, if you like, he's he's dropping to kind of a knee with his head still bowed from where he is, arms down kind of by his side.
00:26:27
Speaker
And he will just say, it was a misunderstanding in Draconic. This was not What we came here to do...
00:26:45
Speaker
were set aside... Deceit! Kneel!
00:26:51
Speaker
Uh... Yeah, Barth's kind of already on his knees, but he'll shoot his head sideways to the rest and say, Drop to your knees if you value your life.
00:27:02
Speaker
Uh...
00:27:05
Speaker
And we'll go back in continuous conversation depend regardless of what the others kind of choose to do, I think. But i'll as a player, I'll pause there to allow any form of reaction.
00:27:19
Speaker
And who does?
00:27:23
Speaker
Is it possible to kneel in mid-air?
00:27:27
Speaker
You might need to descend or ascend to the... Okay, so... Yeah, what the... yeah what the So it's the nearest platform to kneel in front of Sean Dralakar. Is there a platform there? So you're midair. You can go back up to this half-broken platform yeah and hold on there. It's not flat, so you'd have to quite acrobatically do it.
00:27:50
Speaker
Or yeah it would be diss descend 30 feet and return to Barcelona. where is um old Seanny? Seanny girl. Her is at the platform level, but her snout goes about 60 feet further.
Escaping Imminent Doom
00:28:05
Speaker
Cool. So you're you're you're like mid-jaw at the moment. That's cool. Nyx is going to descend down slowly, ah like eyes on her one eye, and then just with ah a smile, just pop the eggs down.
00:28:22
Speaker
One, two, i think he's got three. Four, I thought. He's four, three, four, just in front of him. Just with just that kind of Nick smile that we all know.
00:28:34
Speaker
and then he's going to kneel down and and present the eggs almost with a slight jazz hands. she Just a slight jazz hands by the eggs that this if to go, but see, we're friends.
00:28:49
Speaker
And the other four.
00:28:54
Speaker
I think Alpha would hesitate for a moment. He's heard Shandrila Kala talk and understood everything that has been said. And very much in an opposite vein to Baal, Alpha's head is tilted up and it is fixed.
00:29:11
Speaker
There's still this sense of impending doom and probably the first time Alpha's felt afraid, really, truly deep in what would be his bowel, his guts. And without even shifting gaze from the eye of Shondra LaCarr, Alpha is going to, he doesn't know how to react to fear.
00:29:31
Speaker
it It's more like a tremble just as he does bow down and just goes down onto one knee. from And so the aura that's coming me off of this dragon, he is petrified right now.
00:29:47
Speaker
Farrakh will process what's happening and he'll read the room. He's taking the lead very much from the others. Before he drops, just his great axe will clatter to the floor.
00:29:58
Speaker
He'll let go of the great axe and drop to one knee and bow his head. But he's keeping hold of McBenor's hand.
00:30:07
Speaker
Emron and Seth.
00:30:11
Speaker
So Seth stands and crosses his arms and looks up, dead eye at this thing. And Nithravar, poof, reappears onto his shoulder, burning yet another first level spell slot.
00:30:24
Speaker
And pipes up, and it's almost like thaumaturgically enhanced from Nithravar.
00:30:31
Speaker
This one has fought the reliving demigods and immutable forces and has lived. His courage unchecked, fear of death unknown, timeless and a eternal.
00:30:44
Speaker
He bows to whom he pleases. And then Seth drops to a knee. I love that. Bravo. Bravo. You can have inspiration, man. Thank you. going to need it. I'm going fucking need it.
00:31:00
Speaker
Emron. So, Emron was already prone because the claw had him down. And he sees Seth get up. So, Emron follows and does does the same. And here's this little speech from Nithravar. It's like, actually, you know what? That Quasit's got something about him. And then watches Seth pussy out and and kneel down.
00:31:20
Speaker
um And Emron sort of stands there.
00:31:24
Speaker
And then looks up at Sondrala Karp and sort of speaks out going, Best of my life. Forksie! Best day of my life.
00:31:37
Speaker
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Hold tension. Gone. I'm so sorry. It doesn't matter what was going to say now because it's just... No, nothing is as better than that. I'm so, so
Unexpected Salvation
00:31:50
Speaker
sorry. So everyone stands.
00:31:54
Speaker
Um, and, uh, if the dame will permit, I'm going to thaumaturgically, um, ah loud in my voice. And everyone everyone will say, what's happened here is a mistake that has been undone.
00:32:10
Speaker
There is no need for us to grovel at your feet like sycophants. We're not here for that. We're here to do right.
00:32:19
Speaker
It says interconic interrupts. Silence your friend.
00:32:25
Speaker
And as Emron's still talking, Baal will just say, not the time, Emron. Not the time. Emron's voice, Emron looks over at Baal, his voice still amplified.
00:32:39
Speaker
When is the right time? I'm not going to bow to some tyranny. We're here to do the right thing. we've you brought it back You've brought back the dragon that was killed by mistake.
00:32:53
Speaker
Make a dexterity saving throw, please, Emron. Okay. all
00:33:02
Speaker
Oh, that's a crit fail before everyone's left. Oh, shit! Oh, God, and everyone's right next to me. I think you're closer to Baal, probably. You've moved away because you had never gold.
00:33:16
Speaker
Oh, yes, I was. One claw
00:33:21
Speaker
on the southern side of this platform has remained still latched.
00:33:28
Speaker
The claw that returned after scooping the wounded dragon...
00:33:33
Speaker
Just raises and then buffets like watching a fly with the back of your hand and run off the platform.
00:33:46
Speaker
And then when you begin to fall. Uh, feather fall.
Cliffhanger and Future Conflicts
00:33:54
Speaker
As you are knocked into this basin that that you cannot see the bottom 300, 400 foot fall at best. full at best
00:34:05
Speaker
Did get off? Did I get my cast off? Featherful. it's It's a reaction, yeah? ah One reaction when you take... have a twitch you can From which sixty feet which spellbook?
00:34:17
Speaker
Which class? ah Sorcerer. you Can then you roll a d20 for us as well, please? Yep.
00:34:28
Speaker
Best day life.
00:34:34
Speaker
My heart. Eleven. Okay. Yes. You get Featherful off. Everyone, you feel the velocity begin to slow within a couple of seconds. i count ah Can I also twin it with Subtle Spell?
00:34:48
Speaker
Yes, you may. If you want to burn the sorceress points. Yep.
00:34:53
Speaker
And everyone, a few seconds later, you're just you're grabbed by that same claw again. Oh, fuck!
00:35:05
Speaker
Why? The focus returns to you, Bar. Is it still talking in Draconic? Mm-hmm. Okay.
00:35:17
Speaker
Bar will say, in Draconic, in return,
00:35:23
Speaker
we were here looking for a friend. Nothing more.
00:35:29
Speaker
We heard screams.
00:35:34
Speaker
We did not know that we were stumbling into another den.
00:35:40
Speaker
It was just happenchance.
00:35:44
Speaker
I have not worked against you.
00:35:49
Speaker
From the day you took me in and the rest of my brood to the day that I became exiled, I have not worked against you. I would not work against you, but to preserve our kind.
00:36:04
Speaker
This was just a misunderstanding. I'm going to keep his head. He hasn't even looked over to Emron or anything that's happened. His head is still bowed. Persuasion check.
00:36:16
Speaker
good job, it's not a dump stat. Oh, God.
00:36:24
Speaker
It fell off the 19 to land on the three. So that's a two overall.
00:36:37
Speaker
What does DM Inspiration do? Is it re-roll?
00:36:41
Speaker
Yeah, it's a re-roll, yeah. It's a D6. It's a D6. In our games, it's a d six There's no point using it. there's no It's not going to do anything here.
00:36:57
Speaker
You see this gullet and these horns begin to cackle with blue energy again.
00:37:08
Speaker
Why Why Here, at the seat of your doom
00:37:18
Speaker
Everywhere, everywhere you go, you are moving against me.
00:37:28
Speaker
In the sands you return.
00:37:36
Speaker
taker of my children.
00:37:42
Speaker
In the cities, you reclaim child of my rival and now here again, but once but twice.
00:37:58
Speaker
slaughtered my children and those unborn.
00:38:06
Speaker
Why lie, exile?
00:38:13
Speaker
I did none of those things.
00:38:19
Speaker
Bar my own kin closest to my bloodline, I did not slay kin there.
00:38:32
Speaker
I breathed my life back into it.
00:38:37
Speaker
You didn't. so And then you, Emron, feel this sudden rush of adrenaline as you're slapped back on to this platform.
00:38:48
Speaker
Push on Dralakar's offhand. And you sustain 24 points of bludgeoning damage. Well, technically, I'm thinking that Shondralakar's hand is so big that Emron, with Feather Fall, it's almost like he's tried to jump at the precise moment an elevator falls down its shaft and hits the bottom, and then you do that jump beforehand.
00:39:10
Speaker
So couldn't we say that Feather Fall is just kind of like... Jump off what? can't jump him in bit air. this is Well, no, because you like like that the claw is so big that it's impossible to grab you because you're so tight.
00:39:22
Speaker
compared to this massive dragon claw so the dragon claw comes down and then up stop delaying the inevitable there's a little space and feather forward would act in that space like a elevator there's a third line here between Ian and Nix Ian's doing a Nix right now as everyone hits as everyone hits the floor if Sean when John Drellacar's claw comes back up everyone doesn't move and there's a little trickle of blood coming from his nose okay I'm making death saves, by the way.
00:39:55
Speaker
Oh, that's what you meant. Oh, damn. Oh, damn. I thought that was just wrong. I've got a news bleed. Seth's going to instantly turn full kind of war time medic straight over and be looking over him.
00:40:10
Speaker
I'm Dr. ABCing the shit out of you. i yeah but i' I'm... Make a medicine check. Thank you. That's what I was going for. The area's not safe. You've not checked for safety. It's not very... It's not safe at all. Absolutely not safe. That's a natural one. ABC, Seth. That's a natural fucking one.
00:40:25
Speaker
The dice are not on our side tonight. I'm going to quickly ask you to make your first death save then, Emron. Of course. Everyone here also has... We're not initiative, so people can try again. People can speed this up. But Emron was dead. Just while he's rolling, that has this all in this all been spoken in Draconic?
00:40:41
Speaker
Oh, fuck, Emron. Roll better. but
00:40:45
Speaker
yeah you missed That was two rather than a one. That could have been that could have been two fails. ah Back in play. Emron, could you get ready with your second save, please? and No one else is going to do anything. I'm going go over. I thought you'd just have a potion of healing. I'm not going to pee about with it. I'll i'll expend the potion of healing and... Pee about with Pee about with it. I'm going to delete it. um do Does Will roll for healing, or do I?
00:41:09
Speaker
You can.
00:41:12
Speaker
I'm going to mouth off at Shondral Kar again.
00:41:16
Speaker
you Oh, we got your eggs! Eight points of healing. As Alpha kind of goes over to you, he just lifts up your head. He goes down to his knee, lifts up your head, and just starts like slowly tipping ah the potion of healing to i oh you. We tried... Remaining quiet, Emron.
00:41:36
Speaker
We tried... Emron's getting up. We tried saving your eggs. have four right here. And as Baal said, this we walked into this with no malice intent.
00:41:49
Speaker
This battle came upon us, not we on the battle. And we did our best with the situation and the cards dealt with us. But when things started to turn wry, we noticed we did our best to save what we could.
00:42:06
Speaker
Nix is gesturing towards these four eggs. and and and And as Baal said, Nix is saying this in Draconic,
00:42:15
Speaker
Baal resurrected.
00:42:19
Speaker
If it plays, we need Baal. And might argue that you need Baal too.
00:42:32
Speaker
He plays a very important piece into what's to come. And then Nick gestures up to the sky, which is obviously just seanra Sean Jalcar's eye at this point.
00:42:44
Speaker
Everything happening up there. There is a bigger game at play here and he is so important in what's to come and possibly
00:42:59
Speaker
in an effort to save the downfall of Aerith. Every single one of us is trying to help.
00:43:06
Speaker
Stay your hand because we're trying to protect everyone from what's to come, which would mean your kind too. and And hopefully less of...
00:43:18
Speaker
the death that you witness here.
00:43:26
Speaker
We're trying to act against great powers like yourself, but powers that are out there to destroy the world as we know it.
00:43:43
Speaker
The spider has found its voice.
00:43:48
Speaker
I want you to make... I apologize in advance for that. I want you to make a persuasion check, please. While that's happening, Bal, I need you to make a straight-up constitution check.
00:44:01
Speaker
Okay. So as Nix has been saying this conversation, ah one of his hands dived into his pocket and it brought out the all or nothing coin.
00:44:14
Speaker
And for this persuasion check, ah Nix is going to flip the coin up.
00:44:23
Speaker
Fuck you, Ian.
00:44:27
Speaker
It will either work or not. It will either work not. will fucking awful.
00:44:33
Speaker
You just tried and and fucking failed. I know, I know, I know. We're all going to die. So mine was ah heads is a critical success and tails is a critical fail. I'm going to grab my little camera here.
00:44:47
Speaker
Oh, we're getting... Why are you getting trousers in? What's going on there? Here, where are your trousers? Is that wall? Coin. there's the There's the heads of the coin.
00:44:58
Speaker
There's the, there's the tails of the coin. This is high quality podcast material right here. Yeah. I know, but like the tension, the tension will breathe through. The tension will be through. Bear with me listeners. Cause it's just to show that this is for real life.
00:45:12
Speaker
Oh fuck. What is it? i got I don't know. can't see it. It's a heads. It's a heads. It's a heads. It's a crit success.
00:45:23
Speaker
Hang on. No one believes it.
00:45:26
Speaker
The camera doesn't go down that far. Funny how you flipped it over with your toe. yeah he's He's turned a light on this. yes Why is there porn on your floor?
00:45:42
Speaker
just mad. Glad it's porn and not yet. Help me when you see it for fuck's sake. We're good, we're good, we're good. I saw it ages ago. We saw it ages ago. with We saw it before we put the lights on. So as the coin lands as a head, that is a natural 20 on my persuasion check.
00:46:00
Speaker
Thank you. The constitution check. 17. So... so But all the adrenaline just sort of begins to dissipate as you let Nix, well, you didn't let, but Nix sort of steps in to try and A, buy some time, but really B, grovel for forgiveness.
00:46:24
Speaker
And as you find yourself not needing to lead for a second and just take a few breaths, you begin to feel little dizzy.
00:46:33
Speaker
And you start getting those palpitations again. Your chest begins to hurt, just like it did on the docks earlier today.
00:46:45
Speaker
And there is this... There is this heat in the air.
00:46:53
Speaker
Again. Coming from that same direction.
00:46:59
Speaker
Going towards...
00:47:03
Speaker
Chandra LaCarrie.
00:47:10
Speaker
You fall to your knees, holding your chest, and because you've experienced this before, the panic doesn't set in as heavily. You're kind of just breathing through it at this point, but...
00:47:25
Speaker
it's It's not rending you unable to speak. it's not causing you any damage or anything like that. You're just feeling that sensation a lot. Pretty much happened the moment that Nyx began to make his argument.
00:47:39
Speaker
Nyx.
00:47:44
Speaker
The Natural 20. The Natural 20.
00:47:47
Speaker
Critical success, it says on the blurb of the coin. Can't crit successor skill check. Shut the fuck up, Will, you're dead. You can in 2024, can't you? No, you can't. You still can't. Oh.
00:48:03
Speaker
Add demodifier to it. You just see the claw that reproduced Emron's body.
00:48:15
Speaker
just grips into the stone. Shondralika shifts around the column once again, and you're seeing now a different eye and she's in a different position.
00:48:26
Speaker
And you all just sort of have to turn 30 degrees to the new position she takes. And as she wraps around again, there's that, that rumble, but not enough to really shake you off your feet or maybe ball. And you all just think that ball fell to his knees naturally as a result of that rather than his health.
00:48:49
Speaker
Emron, are you wanting to jump in with something there before Sean Jalakar responds? Because you've been wanting to say something for about five minutes. Don't do it! Someone talk! Someone talk over him! He's muted! It doesn't count! Sean Jalakar! Sean Jalakar! Emron has re-stead up.
00:49:06
Speaker
Emron re-stands up having been ah healed by by Alpha and sort of loudly shouts, it'd be nice if we could all speak and something we could all understand.
00:49:19
Speaker
if we're released If we're going to have to stand here again and listen to you, be nice be able to understand what you're saying. tourists. God, I want to punch you right now. Sean Dralicar barely blinks at Emron's contribution and returns to your role your your your request, Nix.
00:49:44
Speaker
If I am to believe what you say...
00:49:50
Speaker
And you're all just here as a misfortune.
00:49:56
Speaker
Why is it so many of my young die at your hands?
00:50:03
Speaker
So...
00:50:07
Speaker
In this situation, or in the multiple ones... to Talk about this situation... 30 eggs. 30 eggs. thirty eight
00:50:18
Speaker
You six have destroyed. yeah That is more eggs than a single member of the Upcrushka has done. Ooh.
00:50:29
Speaker
That... Okay, okay, that sounds pretty bad. It's my fault, Chandra Laka. Okay.
00:50:40
Speaker
what are Are you saying Indraconic as well? I am talking Indraconic at this stage. The Metal Man... Yes.
00:50:52
Speaker
It is my fault. I was not aware of the eggs that were nestled here.
00:51:02
Speaker
I attempted to put up means of defense against one of your brethren and made a very poor judgment call with regards to combat, and mistakes were made.
00:51:25
Speaker
Do not blame Baal, do not blame any other member of my friends here. The faults for the eggs here are mine and mine alone. And if there is any way That I can make recompense towards you.
00:51:48
Speaker
Anything I can do. You need only ask. And I am going to drop down to the knee again. I'm still locked in kind of fear on Sean Dralicar's eye.
00:51:59
Speaker
ah But I am taking the knee once again.
00:52:08
Speaker
Exile, stand.
00:52:13
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Emron's going pipe up again. Can we please just talk in a language that most of us can understand? Emron, shut up. Oh! Look, Alpha, it'd be nice for us all to know what's going on rather than Alpha's been stood here like lemons. Assuming we make it out of this alive, you will be filled in in full.
00:52:33
Speaker
Just please go along with it for now. I say that in common to Emron. You all want to know going I'm stand here and be like, Stand exile. Nithravar's going to say to Seth, He's going to sacrifice himself.
00:52:51
Speaker
think I can do well standing. Yeah.
00:52:57
Speaker
Thirty. Thirty of my children you have slain.
00:53:11
Speaker
a
00:53:14
Speaker
would kill you all where you stand.
00:53:23
Speaker
But that would be a mercy
00:53:27
Speaker
for the suffering I planned for you, Exile.
00:53:36
Speaker
Your spider friend here begged for a choice, a choice you will have.
00:53:50
Speaker
My child was killed twice here.
00:53:55
Speaker
I will kill two of your friends of your choosing now.
00:54:01
Speaker
What the fuck? Or
00:54:07
Speaker
the rest of your kin.
00:54:11
Speaker
All those born under the scale of your mother across this land.
00:54:20
Speaker
will be slaughtered.
00:54:24
Speaker
And the last thing you will see is the skulls of each of them.
00:54:32
Speaker
As I evoke the slowest, most painful of curses upon you.
00:54:45
Speaker
Choose exile, or all of you will meet this fate.
00:54:54
Speaker
Alfred's just going to walk forward after he started speaking. I'm not going to say anything, but I'm just going to walk forward, go level with Baal, and just put my hand on his shoulder.
00:55:05
Speaker
Everyone's going to go over to and be like, What the fuck you doing, Alpha, and what's going on? Nyx is going to awake mind, speak to you, Emron, as you're walking over and just go, stop.
00:55:19
Speaker
And then quickly, in very Nyx, very quick speak, explain exactly what's going on. Because I assume Nifaravar is doing the same to Seth. And Tharok, don't know who the fuck you are. yeah
00:55:33
Speaker
Oh yeah, we got him as well.
00:55:37
Speaker
Yeah, Tharok, confused, will stand and just... not going to do anything, but he's going to grab his, he he will just curiously look at what's happening. And it's just so confused.
00:55:50
Speaker
Is there any chance for deliberation or is it like he, he's going to make that decision now on his own.
00:55:58
Speaker
Is there a pause? It's like, it happens as a silence. Okay. The air is silent at the moment.
00:56:08
Speaker
Currently only three people know what's been requested. I've been told by Nix now.
00:56:23
Speaker
kind of space and time, could i'm sorry could could could could could you I assume that he's he's translated for Seth? Does he speak Draconic? Yeah, why not?
00:56:35
Speaker
no no he doesn't the devil permit i assume through space and time no he only speaks a piss abyssal and common okay um then uh stuff's just going to continue like he's going to be knowingly nodding at the dragon like you know when you're in a conversation and you don't speak the language and every now then you just pick up a ah oh yeah yeah that's good that's good he' just he's been copying along and he's looking concerned uh but it doesn't have a clue Bar will kind of... Bar, before you can do anything, you fall to your knees again, clutching your chest.
00:57:06
Speaker
That same sensation.
00:57:11
Speaker
Seth's going to run over and help Stand, exile! I did not request you to kneel!
00:57:21
Speaker
Can anyone lift him up? Bar's going to try and stand. if Baal does struggle Alpha's going to be helping him as well and Nyx is going to walk to the front of in front of Baal Nyx doesn't have the strength of these guys so he's just going to stand in front he's died twice once more more death yeah
00:57:41
Speaker
and you're being propped up now by Emron Seth sorry Baal okay I'll say in common
00:57:51
Speaker
He wants two lives for the of a child. like okay If not of us, it's the entirety of my brood.
00:58:04
Speaker
I can't. Okay. No, it's all right. Emron, could you make a perception check for me? Okay.
00:58:17
Speaker
Ooh, that's a dirty 20. Baal is disgustingly hot. You can't hold him for very long without sustaining damage.
00:58:27
Speaker
um worth I'd say. i i am i am resistant to fire. Does that that count? It means you'll sustain less damage, but you'll get you it's like your hand is on a like freshly boiled cup of tea and you can't hold that mug for very long. Okay.
00:58:43
Speaker
Baal, you're not right. Just just just rest and everyone's going to turn twelve look to Alpha. Alpha, are you holding him as well or not? Yeah. yeah your Okay, then you're you're experiencing the same thing. Alpha, can you hold him or not?
00:58:57
Speaker
I will hold him as long as I can. And Emron's going to turn to to Sean, draw a card. Okay. And Alpha, if you hold him for more than six seconds, you're going to soon of sustain damage.
00:59:09
Speaker
Okay. I'll grab the other arm. You take four points of fire damage. We're swapped. Emron, you go in front. I'll take where you were.
00:59:22
Speaker
incrementally just playing hot potato that's what you're doing that's fine I've got resistance to fire as well let's fucking if there's three of you and you're moving ball around in less than six seconds looks ridiculous then it's going to look really sick but none of you will sustain damage hot potato hot potato everyone steps forward he is in no condition to make choices here
00:59:46
Speaker
and there are some of us here are more important than the others and everyone looks towards alpha You've got the link to the Gartrands that has to be preserved.
00:59:59
Speaker
You can't sacrifice yourself like you want to, Alpha. It's not that I want to. Well, it's not an option. Not by any way, shape or form. And the princess is safely kept within this.
01:00:13
Speaker
And he just opens up the like obsidian crystal as well. She can still go on. But we don't know what your link to her is. Yeah, and we don't know what will happen if you die. if She might take over. This is true.
01:00:28
Speaker
So, Baal can't make the decision, Chondralicar.
01:00:35
Speaker
But two lives to save the rest of his brood, that's an easy choice.
01:00:42
Speaker
But I'll put myself forward so no one else has to pick me or pick another. it's not fair for Baal to make that choice. Yeah, but Emron, you're also part of that plan. Then if that's the plan, Nyx, then it'll happen.
01:00:56
Speaker
Or it won't. But I'm going to take command of my destiny now.
01:01:04
Speaker
Things will happen better. But I'm not going to let Baal have to sit there and choose someone rather than us volunteer. It's not fair on him. I agree, which is why I have put myself forward.
01:01:15
Speaker
I am responsible for most of the brood having been killed. This is my choice and my responsibility.
01:01:28
Speaker
Farrakh, you look like you have something to say. Farrakh will shout out, ah I will go. And he'll walk up the platform and he'll go, was my job to keep you all alive in the game.
01:01:43
Speaker
It's my job still to keep you all alive now.
01:01:48
Speaker
Seth, you'd like you have something to say. Ironically, yes. and While that's happening, while that kind of debate's happening with the with Alpha and Emron and Nix and they're playing hot potato with Bahl still, Seth's just going to be i've stood directly in front of Bahl as he's just hot potatoed, just making eye contact with him and just smiling at him.
01:02:09
Speaker
and Not in a weird way, but just smiling. um And as he's kind of being shuffled around and held up, he's going to lean in and um not hug him. He's going lean in so he's near his face um and he's going to feel the heat pulsing off his body but not close enough to to do anything and he's just going to whisper, my curse can end.
01:02:39
Speaker
I can make a choice.
01:02:44
Speaker
Black and white.
01:02:48
Speaker
And he's going to summon with Nithravar's aid, his shadow blade and will turn and in oma in a kindly gesture push
01:03:04
Speaker
through Emron and Tharnak. Tharak. Sorry, apologies. Tharak and farak and um Pace forward between the two to a middle platform somewhere in the middle.
01:03:19
Speaker
and and stand with his head down, soed out. Nithribas muted, but screaming at him, just curses and ah hatred and spewing vitriol into the ear of Seth. He's standing there looking up at this eye, this blade of sorrow in his right hand, hand of bandages in his left, and he's kind he's looking up at the eye.
01:03:49
Speaker
Chondralica continuing in Draconic.
01:03:58
Speaker
I ask for your choice, exile. Your choice.
01:04:06
Speaker
Speak, or you will perish.
01:04:13
Speaker
Am I able to speak?
01:04:18
Speaker
Yes.
01:04:30
Speaker
Bahl is there kind of swaying on his feet, overcome. There are now tears streaming down his face. He looks close to vomiting. He's kind of shaking at the same time as well.
01:04:49
Speaker
And he's just going to say in common... i can't go I can't.
01:04:59
Speaker
Failed them all. I can't.
01:05:04
Speaker
And...
01:05:10
Speaker
It looks like other people want to jump in. So he'll just give it another brief second. ah so and and and and No, no, no, no, no. I'm bouncing to say something, but I want... you
01:05:22
Speaker
When you're finished, I'll jump in. That's fine. Yeah.
01:05:26
Speaker
He'll say in Draconic back to Shondralikar,
01:05:33
Speaker
that is the choice.
01:05:36
Speaker
To all. And not myself.
01:05:43
Speaker
Correct.
01:05:46
Speaker
You must pay for what you have done.
01:05:55
Speaker
ah Fucking hell.
01:06:02
Speaker
ah He'll kind of, he'll join the front line. I'm assuming in this front line, there is Emron standing there offering himself up Seth with Shadowblade drawn and Tharok as well. Kind of, I'm assuming kind of great acts out just there, like offering himself up.
01:06:23
Speaker
I think Seth took took a few more steps forward, didn't you? if possible, but you know, if it's easier, uh, about to have us all in a line, you know, I'm, I'm no, fuck you. I'm ahead of you. Yeah.
01:06:35
Speaker
Well, no, no, to to to I'm just trying to pick my head. Yeah. yeah i don't attend it's while you're task well Um, yeah. Emron's going to look to Tharok while you were talking and said, you need to keep the rest alive.
01:06:47
Speaker
That's your dewey.
01:06:54
Speaker
my job to keep you alive. No, no. The greater of the group should live. This is while Baal was being spoken to by Shondralcar. The greater of the group.
01:07:07
Speaker
Sacrificing yourself doesn't achieve your mission. The rest of the group should live. Emron's going to go and stand just next to Seth and put a hand on his shoulder and just whisper to him black and white.
01:07:22
Speaker
Bal, could you make a con saving throw, please? And Nyx, looks like you have something to say. Yeah, so Nyx is now half listening to what's going on, and he's going to...
01:07:39
Speaker
put a hand ah up the sleeve of his jacket where the curse is from Prego and he's going to um grasp it tightly and kind of just kind of pour all his essence into there and reach out down the curse to Prego.
01:08:05
Speaker
You're great at making deals. I'm really good at being a part of them.
01:08:13
Speaker
I know you know what's going on right now. Get us all out of here. Name your price. I'm willing to pay it. Get us all to safety.
01:08:31
Speaker
You're not sure. You're not sure if anything was heard. You only get like a read receipt on that message. I have to try. Delivered. Val, your concept. Yeah, it was. Oh, God.
01:08:43
Speaker
it It came up and now it's gone. I think it was a 14, this one.
01:08:48
Speaker
The feeling in your chest subsides. Your breath returns a little bit easier.
01:08:56
Speaker
the hairs are up on the back. I don't even know if you have hairs as a dragonborn, but the equivalent feeling of hairs on the back of your neck, your goose bumps throughout your body in this moment.
01:09:08
Speaker
It's the fire that you're, the burning up sensation, the fever you're experiencing. You begin to embody it a little bit and and feel more comfortable in it. It sort of regulates your temperature after a little while.
01:09:23
Speaker
Something is making you
01:09:26
Speaker
Something's tickling your spidey senses for want of our one Marvel quota of the evening.
01:09:34
Speaker
But ahead of you is Emron, is Seth.
01:09:40
Speaker
What do you want to do?
01:09:44
Speaker
I'll say to them in the common tongue.
01:09:49
Speaker
I'm so sorry.
01:09:52
Speaker
I can't fail them.
01:09:56
Speaker
And he's going to stare at each of them, unbroken, back and forth between the two of them.
01:10:11
Speaker
You have my choice.
01:10:17
Speaker
Speak their names.
01:10:25
Speaker
What more would you have of me, Chandra LaCarr? You have my choice. And she begins to list every child that was unborn as a result of your actions of the last month.
01:10:45
Speaker
And sends their name into the night.
01:10:51
Speaker
And then looks at you. Their names.
01:11:03
Speaker
They'll stare into Seth's eyes.
01:11:10
Speaker
Seth. Pharaoh Reaver.
01:11:15
Speaker
Champion of the Blight. Friend.
01:11:22
Speaker
And across to Emron.
01:11:26
Speaker
And Emron, follower of Aledo and true of heart,
01:11:38
Speaker
tears streaming down his face.
01:11:46
Speaker
There is a low, resonant chuckle from her dragon as she allows herself into the common tongue and just says... Seth, Feral Reaver, and Emron.
01:12:08
Speaker
All of you will die knowing that those were the two Baal was willing to sacrifice as she just charges up an entire lightning bolt, takes flight, and targets the entire platform. You are all in her arc.
01:12:26
Speaker
And then just in the corner of your ear, Baal, those tingles you're feeling, there is a thunderous cry coming from the far west across the basin, the other side of the temple from the desert.
01:12:43
Speaker
But it's clear, resonant, and full of fire.
01:12:51
Speaker
And then there is this influx, this gust, this gale, that comes directly over your head towards Sholandralikar and as she is beginning to take flight, she is buffeted by it.
01:13:03
Speaker
That gust pulls up sand and in the night's sort of sky here it's impossible to make shapes out for a few seconds but then that sand is quickly dissipated by flame. The shape appears from behind you blocking out
01:13:25
Speaker
the moon and you just hear in a very familiar voice softer just slightly more nasal
01:13:44
Speaker
you will not harm the shepherd yelled in draconic as another dragon has allowed a voice into this moment and that where we're going to end this episode of the fellowship of the table no it's not no listeners hes he's lying we're carrying on right now stay stay savvy uh so mark can you just uh introduce episode again what it's gonna be one four five yeah hello and welcome to the fellowship of the tabletop we are the um um other ah but but um
