Speaker
D20 radio, your game is rolling.

Speaker

Recap of Previous Train Fight Episode
00:01:05
Speaker
So gentlemen, what happened last time?
00:01:07
Speaker
Train fight! Train fight! Train fight! That's basically right. I mean, lots of train fighting. Yes.
Discussion: Is Farlin a Wizard or Druid?
00:01:12
Speaker
Well, and we did find out that our traveling companion Farlin is a slick wizard with druid, right? I'm guessing. He's got magic things. And I think... He's got magic thorns. Well, two of the three of us know druid. Oh, I know no idea. Yeah, we're totally not telling your comments. Oh yeah, absolutely. We want to see his face. Fine. Fine.
00:01:32
Speaker
It's okay.
Cliffhanger: Prince and Bodyguard's Train Jump
00:01:33
Speaker
Okay. So the very last thing that you heard at the end of the previous episode was that they have the prince, Rick and shouted. So that's where we are. Lyle's bodyguard totally jumped off the train.
Chaos in Train Dining Car
00:01:44
Speaker
Lyle and Beric are on top of the train car. You can look down and Rash is no longer on the sled that was down there. And Draconis, you are in between the conductor car and the diamond car. So you can run through the door.
00:01:58
Speaker
Oh, I still have a guy on me though, don't I? No, you killed him. Oh, I killed him? Yeah. Cool. Yeah, I'm gonna run since I don't got any fancy acrobatic-y things that I could do. I'm just gonna go running into the dining car. What
Warforged Showdown in Dining Car
00:02:11
Speaker
do I see? As you run into the dining car, you see a chaos ensuing. There are four Warforged still in the dining car. Looks like they are holding people back. You do not see Orgev or Rash anywhere. But there are four Warforged in the dining car.
00:02:28
Speaker
Are they kind of all standing near each other? No, I mean they're they're spread out throughout the park. What are you all doing? Where? Which way did they take the prints? Towards the back, which you see Rook and Shout. And I take off running down the train. I take off back handsprings all the way down the
00:02:45
Speaker
because eventually I'm going to have to jump between cars at my strength, the joke, and my acrobatics is going
Acrobatics Between Train Cars
00:02:49
Speaker
to fall. Okay, so you two and Farlin need to make checks to jump between the dining car and the sleeping car, so we're allowing acrobatics for this? Yes. That's a 19. That's a 14. Okay. And also the wind's on our backs. All three of you make it successfully.
00:02:57
Speaker
train.
00:03:04
Speaker
So milk that for all its worth. You continue running and you see three warforged up ahead of you hop onto the top of the cargo car. So there's a car in between you and them. Do they also have Prince Orgo? No. Okay, so they are on top of the cargo car and we are, what, midway down the passenger car. So they're 25 feet.
00:03:28
Speaker
Yeah, away from us. Each of the cars is about 30 feet long, so I would say 35 feet or so.
Draconis' Attack Plans
00:03:34
Speaker
Well, I can close that cap and use my ribbon weave. Because I'm assuming, I mean, I'm not done running. Yeah. I'm going to continue rushing towards them. But as we come to the gap, since I don't see the prints here and they're on the last car, I'm going to drop down and go in the main compartment of the last car. Okay. Let's see if they took prints that way.
00:03:52
Speaker
Okay. So you kind of slide down. Communicate that. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm just running like an idiot. As we're running along towards them, I say, they don't have the prints. I'm going to go below. I actually know what you're at. I'm with you. Okay. There's no reason to fight three guys. There's no purpose. Yeah. Leave them up there. Are you all going to beseech Farland to join you or just he's inclined to go kill the things in front of them? Come on, Tony. Okay. So the three of you drop down, open up the cargo car door. You see
00:04:18
Speaker
The very back door of the train is open and the earth sled is attached via chains to the back of the train and they've been loading any goods that they can find into the sled.
Rescue Mission: Prince on Earth Sled
00:04:30
Speaker
Are all 12 boarded the train? Is the driver still on the earth sled? There is the driver on the sled.
00:04:36
Speaker
Three of them are on top of the car. Four of them are in the dining car. So there are... Oh, those didn't come off the back sled? No. Those came off the... Yeah. I mean, sorry. Rash took out half of the warforged that were on that car. Well, then where are the other six that were on that car? You killed them on top of the... Oh, that's right. I forgot that we were dealing with them as well. Is Orgev in the... Yeah. You see Orgev is restrained on the earth sled with a bunch of the cargo. Okay.
Combat with Warforged
00:05:05
Speaker
What's between me and the back sled?
00:05:06
Speaker
Four Warforged, including one that looks different. He's wearing robes and has a staff. Okay, is there a path to get within 15 feet of Prince Lord? You would invoke two opportunity attacks, but you can get there. That's... Nope, Eric could do it. Okay, yep.
00:05:27
Speaker
21. Oh, yep. Six damage and 11. Yes. Okay, so. Eric is not looking awesome. Yeah, okay. We're just gonna, we can just at this point, since we're firmly in combat, establish the same initiative order we had, if everyone's okay with that. That's fine. Sure, the enemy's going last. So, okay, let's jump to the top of the order. Cut to the dining car, Draconos. It's you against the world.
00:05:56
Speaker
Are there any that are close to the window that they were all jumping in through? Yeah, there is one that's relatively close to there. Okay, so I'm gonna have my axe out, and I'm gonna look at the one that's closest to the window, and I'm gonna use my cantrip to make my voice boom three times louder than it normally is. Okay.
00:06:20
Speaker
Cause these guys haven't seen me, well, I guess I should ask, would I know if they, like, can they be scared or are they just robots who wouldn't understand, like? Yeah, they, they, they experience emotion. Okay. That's all I need now. So I want to make like the scariest face that I could think of and like just scream as loud as I possibly can to like try to scare this guy. Making an intimidation check. Yeah. Yeah. Great.
00:06:47
Speaker
That's a charisma, right? Yes. Okay, nine. Does his Thaumaturgy spell give him advantage? Did he use his Thaumaturgy? I thought that's what it was. That's what it was. Okay, yeah, we'll say it gives you damage.
00:07:02
Speaker
Ten. You go, meow. No, you do not successfully intimidate him. Okay. I am a terrifying demon. Are you scared? Hello. It is now Lyle's turn.
Turning the Tide: Lyle's Ribbon Weave Attack
00:07:22
Speaker
Tell me one more time, I'm sorry. How many in the car are with us? Four. Three that look like the ones you've dealt with and one that looks different.
00:07:31
Speaker
Now, I know that we've gone in, but they're preoccupied loading things. Have they seen us? Have we been seen? Yes. Okay. Yeah, Barrick just took off running. Yeah, fine. Oh, that's right. That's right. Barrick, I'll get the prints. Okay, I'll handle everything in here. So, yeah, is the nearest one to me the one with the special stuff? No, it's near the back. It's closest to the back.
00:07:52
Speaker
Okay, where is Barrick right now? Barrick's about halfway through the car. He's moved past the first two, um, Warforged. Okay. I'm just trying to figure out if I get sneak attack. Is he close enough to any of them? If you attack the one that's closest to you, you know if you attack the one that's closest to him, yes. Alright, I'm gonna attack that one. Okay. I just want to start clearing him out. That is... Is that the fancy one? No. That's 18. Okay, hit.
00:08:17
Speaker
10, and then a d6 as well. 16 damage. Nice. You kill it. So your ribbon weave wraps around its neck and kind of yank and it snaps. And it falls over dead. Gross. I have to come up with ways where you could one-shot somebody with ribbon weave, like that's all I can really think of is neck snapping. I mean, you could saw, like if I get out of the basement and whip. Barak, your turn.
00:09:07
Speaker
Parrott, shoutouts.
00:09:15
Speaker
So black necrotic chains wrap around him and... Well, yeah, but it's like crackling with lightning. You know. Oh, good. He takes three lightning damage. Okay. Oh! Not really high.
Strategizing Against Warforged
00:09:30
Speaker
I don't know what he sounds like. That's probably a joke. And then on the off chance that he's competent in the least, can I, is it kind of bonus action cut his bond? Sure. And then I drop one of my short swords next to him.
00:09:42
Speaker
Okay, it is now Farland's turn. So Farland is going to take the opportunity attack to run up to Beric. Oh, good. That misses, and you hit it. 11 hipples. Oh, yeah. Be more careful. I got the prince. Yeah, but you ran in like an idiot. Yeah, no, I don't think we really need to be critiquing right now. Nobody asked you, Lyle. Yeah, we'll be out with it.
00:10:12
Speaker
Okay. Guys! It is now the Warforged's turn. Do I like to trade? I'll give you the dwarf. So there are three in there with you. So one is going to attack Beric. That is going to be a 24. No, no, that doesn't matter. After I've done something heroic, my AC doubles. Eight damage. Ow. And then the other one's going to attack Barlin because he saw the healing happen.
00:10:42
Speaker
and that's going to be a miss. And lastly, the one with the cool robes and everything is going to point its staff at the square. It's going to put the staff at while.
00:10:59
Speaker
No, I'm down hit points too, just throwing that out there. Yeah. Farland. You never moved up. Correct. I didn't have to, did you guys? No, you didn't. No, I didn't. Okay, so this orb of just pulsing energy, not necrotic or anything, but just pulsing energy shoots at you. There's no bad energies. 14. That's a miss. Okay. And it just floats right past me. And it hits the back wall and just, you hear this thunderous crash erupt behind me.
00:11:28
Speaker
And there's a chunk of the train missing. And so, wind is rushing in. Glad I didn't hit you. Also, I am that. So now it's the warforged they're attacking Draconos.
Draconis Overwhelmed
00:11:41
Speaker
So they see you as a threat, and so they're going to run up. First one attacks 11.
00:11:47
Speaker
17. And 15. Okay. So they all run up and just start trying to punch you, but they're like punching your breastplate, which doesn't do any good. So they're not smart, but they're fierce. So it is now Draconis's turn. I will remind, don't forget about the special property I sent you that your armor does now that would be really handy against multiple targets.
00:12:12
Speaker
Right. What was that again? Well, I had a different thing that also does radiant damage than I was just about to do. Okay, do it. Because they're all up on me. Yes. Okay, I'm going to use a spell slot and use Divine Smite, which basically just if I hit a creature, then it does radiant damage instead of just...
00:12:30
Speaker
Okay. Okay, so I'm gonna hit the one that's like center. Okay. 12? Mmm, okay. It is Lyle's turn.
Beric's Revival and Return
00:12:43
Speaker
I mean, he's already keyed on me, so I'm gonna fight back at him. I'm once again gonna take on the guy wearing the special clothes and see how well this goes for me. I've got the ribbon weave.
00:12:54
Speaker
It's out, it's ready to party. So I practiced with it as much as I could. So I raise it above my head, start whipping it around like rhythmic gymnastics style. And do the wave thing. No, the wave thing. Take me seriously. Okay, sorry. And because I can't not, because of the way my character sounds, I say yippee-ki-yay, melon farmer.
00:13:22
Speaker
That's a 13. That is a miss. Now, okay, I want to... I have a bonus action. Okay, explain to me what disengage is as an action. It's when you are in melee range of somebody, you can disengage and then move to not provoke an opportunity attack. Okay, if I were to dash, would he have an opportunity attack?
00:13:48
Speaker
Well, all of the guys between them, like, there's two guys still up between you and that one, so they would... Oh, no, I'm not trying to go at that one. Where are you trying to go? I wanted
Defeating the Warforged Leader
00:13:59
Speaker
to see if I could get out of range of it. Well, you would have to exit the car.
00:14:09
Speaker
I don't wanna hide, that's not gonna help. So I guess I just stand. I inspect my ribbon weave because clearly something's gone wrong.
00:14:19
Speaker
Alright, so from my position in the cart, can you explain what's around me? So you're kind of near the middle. There is one Warforged back behind you that you pass that got the opportunity attack that hit. And then there's another Warforged next to the one that cast the Ball of Energy.
00:14:37
Speaker
There's three total. There's some general like crates and stuff like that. They haven't totally emptied out the cargo hold yet. Okay. You see a barrel of Farland's finest brew sitting there. So there's only three warforged in the cargo. No flammable is Farland's beer. Beer's not that flammable. I don't know how. Like you're using real world properties again. I'll remind you, we just met a dragon.
00:15:04
Speaker
80% alcohol for all I find out. It's basically just vapor. Just vapor. Okay. I'm rarely used for cleaning airships. I'm used to burn warts off the pits.
00:15:19
Speaker
Alright, I'm gonna cast my Hexblade's curse on the one that's casting spells. Okay. And then Beric shifts from his short sword and draws the longsword off his back and moves up next to the one who's the spellcaster and attacks him. Okay. You got this, buddy. Same. Pick it up if you can, Prince.
00:15:45
Speaker
What did you say to the prince? I'm sorry. Pick it up if you can. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Alright, but I rolled a 25. Okay, yeah, that hits. I hope so. That's going to be...
00:16:00
Speaker
12 damage. I think he's still up. And as a bonus action I make use of my other Eldritch Invocation and I cause the sort of shadows on him to start pulsing with silver fire and he takes another 5 fire damage. What is this ridiculous character? I just want to make it clear that as much as Dex trusts
00:16:27
Speaker
Barak, he is just smooth out terrified of it. Also. So Orgev is going to pick up the sword and try to go attack the one that's furthest away from the robed one. So he's going to roll. I thought that hits.
00:16:44
Speaker
Shortsword is d6. Yeah, plus his dexterity, or his strength, whichever is better. Well, that is going to be 4 damage. No, nothing. Okay, it is now Farlin's turn. So Farlin is going to... You all hear Farlin. You can see because he's in front of you. He's behind you now. But you hear him just start to like shout. Like this beastial scream and it morphs into more of a roar.
00:17:11
Speaker
as Farlin grows like four times his size and all of a sudden there's a grizzly bear in the car in the car with you. I did not mean it when I called you tiny. And he... Oh, I totally am a bear.
00:17:28
Speaker
And he leaps over to the one that is going to attack the prince and attacks him. Is it the Circle of the Moon? Let's him do Wow. Shape is a bonus action. So that's going to be... And he kills it. So sweet. Grizzly Bear just leaps on this Warforged and its claws sink into the wood and rip some of the armor panels off as it falls over dead. Nice.
Lyle's Narrow Escape
00:17:53
Speaker
And now it is the Warforged turn. So, the one that's up next to the one in rubs is going to attack Beric. Gonna flurry of blows you, 20. Hits. That's six damage. And the next attack is 20. Hits. Eight damage. Beric is down. Second punch hits Beric straight in the head, and he just drops to the ground. My curse goes away.
00:18:21
Speaker
Oh, the Pulsi Silver Curse? Yeah. Okay. So, the big one is going to, once again, target Lyle. It's another Orb of Energy. 22. Yeah, that's it.
00:18:40
Speaker
Seven damage and you need to make a deck saving throw for me. Oh dear. As you go flying towards that big opening in the wall that it created with its previous attack. Oh please.
00:19:01
Speaker
You start to fly backwards and manage to just not even you're not even left hanging You just kind of catch the side of the wall where it was broken out and just immediately pull yourself back in Just like you were before so nice. It seems angered by your resolve and I just But as I do it, I do not break out I don't even look I don't even look where my hand goes. I just grab
00:19:24
Speaker
Okay, you got four in the dining car with you. Yeah, punch punch punch. What's up? Just standing there while they just 17. Go ahead. Go ahead. Try it out. I don't know. I just I don't want to talk in then the one like really 11 And that's a crit. So Is there a modifier on it? Oh You rolled a lot of die. 12 damage. What's double damage? 12 damage.
00:19:52
Speaker
Okay So one of them finally thinks let let me punch the squishy bit and just get you right in like the jaw Because fantasy heroes never wear helmets sit 12 damage. Yes, well Okay, it is now Draconis his turn
00:20:10
Speaker
Yeah, that guy. I want him dead. Sorry. Don't forget, you have an ability that targets multiple people. I'm about to do it, because the other one missed. Yeah, so I'm going to use Dazzling Flair, which is within 10 feet of me, or by God, do a Constitution saving throw.
00:20:28
Speaker
Well, but it's new property that you've unlocked of your armor, so that purple jewel begins to illuminate. How many pieces of dazzling flair do you wear on your uniform? We have to wear at least 10 pieces of dazzling flair. What's the DC of the saving throw they have to make? 14. And is it Constitution? Is that what you said? Yes, Constitution.
00:20:47
Speaker
Okay, one saves, three miss. Okay, and then roll for damage? Yep. Do you only roll once or just per? Once. Once, okay. So it is one of the eights, which is five plus charisma, which is four, so nine damage. Nice. Very good. And all of them are blank. Sweet. Great. Run away.
00:21:06
Speaker
Oh, and they, I guess it doesn't really matter. Shut everybody in the cart. Push them. Until the end of my next turn. Yeah. I have this one. Yeah. Okay. It is now Miles' turn. Okay. I need to know everybody that is in this cart. I know me, Beric, Farlin, the prince, at least the robed guy. And two other, one other Warforged. And one other Warforged. All right. And I'm going after the caster and it is a 20.
00:21:35
Speaker
Okay. And is he within five feet of bear? But is he within five feet of the prince? Prince is up. No, because the prince ran to the one that got the initial and barracks down. So he doesn't count. Farlin is a bear and he's with prince. So it's no sneak attack. Bummer. Bummer.
Farlin Transforms to Bear
00:21:52
Speaker
But you did some good stuff to him. So maybe if I can roll this high enough. And I actually look, the document does not say that my curse drops if I go unconscious. Oh. It doesn't. So that's probably an oversight, but I'm going to deal with it.
00:22:04
Speaker
That's 12. He's not looking great. Okay, it is now Beric's turn, so Beric, that's saving throw. That's a pass. Okay, Farlin as a grizzly bear kind of looks back at Beric's down body and just, you hear the bear go.
00:22:23
Speaker
And the bear begins to shrink back into Farlin and he runs over and puts a hand on Barrick. Grizzly bear to grizzly boy. Eight hit points. All right. And you're back up. And Orgeb is not going to run up to the crazy thunder wizard thing because, yeah, he doesn't want to. And now it's the warforged turn. So the one next to the wizard thing is going to attack Farlin.
00:22:52
Speaker
Miss. And hit. Welcome to the club. And the crazy wizard is now going to change targets to Oregon. Hit.
00:23:19
Speaker
Okay, Orgev gets thrown back and hits the back wall of the car next to you, but just the way spatially he didn't go flying through the hole. But he is knocked out. Completely. But fine. And the other Warforged that are attacking Draconos are blind, so they're just gonna swing wildly. That's a miss. Miss.
00:23:46
Speaker
I rolled two very high, but was not enough. So now it is back around to Draconis' turn. Cool.
Draconis' Divine Smite
00:23:55
Speaker
Okay. So you have three that are hurt very bad and one that is...
00:23:58
Speaker
blind but not parked. Gotcha. If I were to, I want to set the scene for you and you can tell me if this is something I can do. Or just, this is what I want to do. I want to attack the guy who is, the way that I picture it is like, the window is to the right and they're all kind of gathered in front of me or around me. I want to try, the one that's the furthest left, I want to try to side swipe my battle axe to that one.
00:24:26
Speaker
and use, I'm gonna try to use it again, Divine Smite, yeah, Divine Smite, and hope that, I don't know, hope that with radiant damage I can kind of push him into the others. Okay. And try to see if I can get any damage on them since they're blinded and can't, or at least knock them over. That's what I want to do, okay?
00:24:46
Speaker
So that's 13 to hit. 13 to hit. Yes, just barely. You would have advantage since he's blind. Yeah, I'll roll again, just check for the crit. No, not crit. Okay, so then I will do, I'll do 13, and then with the spell, it's a 13.
00:25:11
Speaker
Seven. Twenty. And twenty-eight. Twenty-eight. Well, you definitely killed that one. I'm gonna say that just you push them into the others to where they're off balance so they regain their sight, but they'll continue to have disadvantage for another round. Okay. Okay. Nice. Alright. Lyle. Before I do anything,
Final Battle with Warforged
00:25:28
Speaker
I look at the caster and I say, what do you want with the prince?
00:25:33
Speaker
That is none of your concern. You're right, it's really not. I just needed to hear your voice. And then I roll to hit him with my rhythm. That's a 19. That's a hit. And he's still not, there's no, no, no, no, no, five feet. So I just get the one. Yeah. Farland and Bear. I'm awake again. Oh, great. And Farland went up there to heal. All right. So then I get, that's nine, 10 damage. Okay.
00:25:59
Speaker
Not looking great, but she's still up. Okay, Barrett. All right, so Lyle is on the side of the car we came in. Yes. I'm on the opposite side of the caster from him. How far am I from the back door? I mean, the caster is at the back door, so you are, the caster is in between you and the back door. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Then... Everyone give me perception checks real quick. Oh, awesome. My dear, everyone? Me as well. Oh, not you. Okay, that's fine. Great. Nice, I got perception, I got a 16.
00:26:29
Speaker
You hear very forceful, what was yours? 16. Yes. You both your very forceful footsteps on top of the train all of a sudden and like the sounds of combat and roaring. Oh good. And at one point you hear like what sounds like a dragon roar and the top of the car frosts over. Ooh cool. So it's a little chilly in here now. Where was he?
00:26:53
Speaker
So, yeah, it is now... Okay, I'm gonna... That was your action. You win. I'm going to just kip up and I'm gonna attack him with my longsword. The caster? Yes, the caster. Your short sword. No, I switched to my longsword. Oh. 22. That's a hit. Awesome.
00:27:17
Speaker
Then, so I just jump up and just bring the sword and it's kind of upward slash as I come to my feet. That's going to be 14 damage. 14 damage. And I use my bonus action to cause him to take out the five fire. Okay. His robes catch on fire and the wood starts to burn and crackle and he screams as he drops his staff and falls backwards and falls in between the train and the earth sled and gets sucked underneath. And the shadow pulls off of him back into me.
00:27:47
Speaker
I need that robe, Erik. We can go back for it until enough to use fire. I need to change, Erik. I have this gift. Just pearls before swine. All I want to do is be another person again.
00:28:09
Speaker
And Farlin is going to use his, because there's one guy left in there with you. How do you say that again? Shalala? Shalalili. Shalalili. Shalalili. But you're really supposed to say it like with a Scottish accent. Shalalili. It's a Shalalili. That was terrible. Shalalili. Shalalili. Farlin's going to cast that thing on his quarterstaff. So like thorns and things like emerge from it and it looks very natural in its state.
Farlin's Thorn Staff Victory
00:28:35
Speaker
And he's going to attack the last remaining warforged that's standing.
00:28:39
Speaker
And that's 17 to hit, so that hits. And he gets to use the 8 now with his quarter staff. 12 damage. So he's dead. So it is now the Warforged turn, so they're all going to attack Konos. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Missed. Miss
00:29:03
Speaker
And the last one... misses. Rolled a 15 and a 20 with their modifier. Okay, it is now Dracono's sister. Okay, I'm going to... Which guy hit me? Someone who doesn't have a right health? The middle one. So one that I did get... They're all low on health. You took out the one that was at full health. Oh, okay. I'm going to attack the guy that actually makes contact with me. Okay. So... she wrecked you off. That's 16. Hit. Cool.
00:29:35
Speaker
Five. He's dead. Yeah. So I got like, I was like, huh, get really mad and smack him. Let's go ahead and resolve your combat. So they're going to attack you. That's two and 21.
00:29:50
Speaker
8 damage. Oh no. Okay. Draconos goes down. Rookin shouts, your paladin is dead. Can we hear that all the way? I mean, I kind of figured that we're going to head back that way in a minute here because we know that we left Draconos with a car pulled back. Look, if we can hear it, I can get there before I have to make it an action and I can
00:30:13
Speaker
You know, there's a giant hole in the side, so yeah, there's holes in this train, so let's say the wind carried his voice to where you could hear it. That wind advantage. Then tell me with my speed of 30 and then if I use my bonus action first and use dash, I can get in there and get close enough to ribbon weave the one that's left.
00:30:34
Speaker
I've done that. All right. So, so I hear, uh, I hear, we can say that and I turn around enough holes that I can see him on the ground. Not until you get into the car. Okay. Well, I hear that. I say, Bill, you got this turn. And I just start sprinting into the dining car.
00:30:52
Speaker
Once I get in there and I see a draft on the ground, it's the first time that I've ever actually felt like he's a teammate and just not even thinking twice about it. I just take the ribbon weave. I pulled it in to run. I just flip it out. It's not even a prep move or anything. It comes out and it goes right at the remaining four, Forge. And that's a 14. That's a hit.
00:31:18
Speaker
That's 10. He's dead. Sweet. So the last one that's standing in that car runs up to you, Lyle, and goes to attack you. He misses. That's a 10. So we're just resolving this combat. I'm going to leave it to Lyle. I'm going to get the prince. OK. So you go. He's up on you now. Right. Was he coming from behind me? No, in front of you. He was up by. He was up by. OK. And he comes at me, and he misses. And so I checked it out.
00:31:44
Speaker
The ribbon weave was still buried in the side of the last guy. And so, cause you know they're wood. And so in one motion, I pull back on it and just use the extra momentum from the resistance to come right at the neck of the remaining warforged.
00:32:06
Speaker
and that's a 13. That's a hit. So you yank and as it comes back you see the little weight at the end of the ribbon weave come on the opposite side of him and get with one like an inch of your face as it swings around and wraps around his neck from that force and it just saws in. And that does 13 points of damage. He dies.
00:32:33
Speaker
Awesome. Yeah, that's really cool. Okay. So just for those of you listening out there, Trevor has to take flight to Las Vegas. So don't feel sorry for him that he had to leave D and D too early, but we are going to resolve the rest of this session. Sands, Trevor, Draconos wakes up and is happy and had wonderful dreams. So back, I just pull up, I pull up a chair for him and I say, Hey buddy, um, you're going to be all right. This, this car's clear. I want you to stay here and, and, and take care of yourself. All right. Okay. I set him down.
00:33:01
Speaker
Whatever we get paid, I feel like we should invest heavily in healing potions. Absolutely. Well, you did split the party, I mean. Well, I mean, it's not much good if we rescue Oregon, Rookin gets killed. Well, on the other hand. Okay, so back in the cargo car, Prince is unconscious on
Post-Battle Reflection and Gratitude
00:33:19
Speaker
the ground. Farlin is kind of kneeling next to him. Oh, I'm sorry, I still had bonus action since I'd killed that guy at the end of my turn. All that cute, flavorful stuff happened where I was really sweet to Draconos, but then I used Dash to get back.
00:33:30
Speaker
Okay, so Farland is kneeling next to Orgev, kind of tending to his wounds. Okay, then as soon as I see that Farland has Orgev, I go out the back, up the ladder to help. Okay. Beshara. You climb up the ladder. Not Beshara. Barasha. Barasha. You come up the car just as you see Barasha have the last warforged by the neck as it's struggling against his grasp and he just lets go and lets it drop off the edge of the train and he turns and sees.
00:33:59
Speaker
All right, you got this. I love a fight. I go back down. He follows you and climbs down and sees the prince in a battered state, but still there. And so he's relieved that the prince didn't get kidnapped. I'm sorry. I just got caught up in Warforge. Send me. Have a tendency to send me over the edge.
00:34:25
Speaker
Yeah, no kidding, buddy. Well, they're scavengers. They just exist in the mornland and pick the bodies of good men that died.
00:34:39
Speaker
I'm genuinely sorry. Well, you know, I mean, we, we, we took care of it. We didn't lose anybody, although we got, it came close. So can you try to keep it in check? I have a feeling that's not the last time. You know, there are numerous war forts who live in sharn and well, like the king's chief bodyguard is one and living next to, to the morn land. You learn to recognize the markings of the followers of the Lord of blades.
00:35:06
Speaker
I see. It's actually, this could have been much worse. The reason that they didn't use weapons is these are initiates to his rank and they have to earn the right to have a blade of their own. And so they're trained in unarmed striking until they, presumably if they would have succeeded kidnapping the prince, they would have been promoted into the official ranks.
00:35:40
Speaker
I don't know why they would want the prince, but clearly the Lord of Blades wants something with him.
00:35:49
Speaker
All right. Well, I suppose we, um, are there any cars that don't, aren't full of holes? The sleeping car and the conductor car. All right. We heard everybody into the sleeping car and rest and recoup. And obviously we have, we have rash. Keep an eye out.
00:36:07
Speaker
Prince is fine? Yeah, the prince, he just took a bad knock on the head, but he's fine. Thank you all for what you did. I don't know what they wanted with me, but it couldn't have been anything good. And he just smiles at you and just, it warms you like his charm. His presence fills anywhere that he is. And so even in this battered state, his smile is just very comforting. So- Bear apologizes for the singed line around his clothes.
00:36:36
Speaker
Considering the alternative and where I was that no harm done I will charge you for the dry cleaning though, and then he laughs like I Love this guy. I see I see cuz you know Rookin would actually
00:36:52
Speaker
I say, Prince Orgive, I got to say, you're pretty good, pretty good in my book. So far, so far, I think we're going to have a good partner. I look forward to any interactions with you in the future. And I put my hand out and he firmly grabs it and shakes it. And while he's shaking, I look at Rook. I contact Rook and kind of rolls his eyes and goes back to his sharn inquisitive.
00:37:13
Speaker
Yeah, after some time you feel the train begin to slow and you begin to hear through the holes in the cars, the wind dies down.
Arrival at Sharn
00:37:22
Speaker
Just noise as you approach the station in sharn city of towers. And this is a.
00:37:30
Speaker
sprawling metropolis and so to put it in terms that we would I mean being from Oklahoma and not metropolitan Texas that first time you walk into New York City and there's just noise everywhere it's that feeling of almost being overwhelmed by the sound which even if you've been here before you've been away for a while so it's very assaulting but the three of you look around and time to get to work okay end of episode all
