Curse of Strahd Ep. 7: Escape from The Wizards of Wine
31 Plays5 months ago
Last week, we took off from the gates of Krezk and headed towards The Wizards of Wine, hoping that a booze delivery would allow us entrance to the city and a well-earned night's rest. This don't quite go to plan as dangerous druids and persistent plant-folk assailed your Pointy Ear Gang.
Thunderwaves echo from within the winery, the horde of druids and plants close in from all sides, and the boys have an important decision to make... just how in the hell are we getting out of here alive?????

Escape from the Wizard of Wines
00:00:03
bladesedge
Good morning, Barovia. We pick right back up with some. Intense music.
00:00:11
Trevor
Oh, nice music.
00:00:12
gil
la Na, na, na, na, na, na.
00:00:12
bladesedge
As the the gang ah who doesn't have a group, we don't have a group name yet, but maybe something to start thinking about. ah We pick up in the middle of Wizards of Wine. ah Wizard of Wines, sorry. um They have just defeated. I mean, they've killed multiple druids in this place, at least three ah needle blights, twig blights, ah vine blights. They've gotten everything they need. There are two barrels waiting to be loaded up. They need to escape to get back to the Martokov family, to get back to Kresk, to be able to get into Kresk. But they know that outside this place,
00:00:51
bladesedge
are 60 needle blights, 24 twig blights, at least three druids, two vine blights surrounding this place. And one of the druids who just perished, having let off a thunder wave spell, this sound emanating from the house has gone and alerted them. We are going to start this episode off rolling initiative
00:01:15
gil
okay
00:01:16
bladesedge
But what this initiative is going to be, I'm just going to write it down rather than bring up the counter, because we're not going to go through combat initiative. When it's your turn, you tell me what you would like to do to help your guys escape, whether it's create a distraction, get the barrels that are upstairs, get the barrel that's downstairs, get some bottles from downstairs, load the wagon, ah free the horses, attach the horses to the wagon,
00:01:36
Trevor
Thank you.
00:01:44
bladesedge
Uh, get on the wagon and leave. This is kind of your, all of the options, or if you have another creative option, please feel free to let me know.
00:01:54
gil
Yeah.
00:01:55
bladesedge
Roy will be up first. Bezrak will be seconds. Valerius will be third. Gil will go last. Roy, you do have Lancelot. um ah Yes, that is true. Valerius is still shrouded in a veil of darkness.
00:02:16
Trevor
Oh, nope. I'm not.
00:02:17
bladesedge
Oh, okay.
00:02:18
Trevor
I'm not. that I clicked that just to read it and then posted it in the Roll20 for some reason.
00:02:19
bladesedge
Okay.
00:02:23
bladesedge
Cool. So you get the sense that the timer has started as to when these things will be here.
00:02:23
Kyle
Fire.
00:02:32
bladesedge
um They know they're gonna come start to check it out. A spell has just gone off. You guys are going to go in an issue of order. You don't have to. You can do more than what you do in a combat that you can sort of just narrate to me and Roy.
00:02:48
bladesedge
In this moment, Vine, Blight's dead.
00:02:49
Kyle
um
00:02:50
bladesedge
Druid dies. And do you hear the sound of things outside making their way.
00:02:58
gil
Shambling.
00:03:01
Kyle
Cool.
00:03:01
bladesedge
Some shambling, some coming.
00:03:01
Kyle
um First of all, i are we able to see the map of where we were right now?
00:03:03
bladesedge
What do you do, Roy?
00:03:09
Kyle
I just see like the intro screen.
00:03:12
bladesedge
Yeah, of course.
00:03:12
Trevor
Bye.
00:03:13
bladesedge
Yeah, you're in this. Sorry about that.
00:03:16
Kyle
Okay.
00:03:18
bladesedge
Booyakasha Bumbleclot Roy.
00:03:23
gil
isn
00:03:23
bladesedge
ah Even if you wanted to, a million options to do you could close doors, bar entrances, get the tasks to the thing. ah Some of you guys made some we got poisoned wine bottles. We got ah Molotov cocktails. We've got all these sorts of things. You guys let me know what you'd like to do. Roy, you're up first.
00:03:41
Kyle
Yeah I think knowing that that thunder wave was super loud and knowing that we have a ton of guys outside, um I think during combat I would know in the back of my head that it's like my conscious is telling me to get out of here. We need to just get these barrels. So I'm going to immediately sprint over to the barrels that I or the barrel that I had pushed upstairs.
00:04:05
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
00:04:06
Kyle
um Come back over here. And I want to open this door. I believe this door leads to the the wagon, right? This door right here.
00:04:14
bladesedge
Yes, yes, absolutely. You open this door and you see the wagon three barrels already in there secure and you do see these ah needle blights ah making their way.
00:04:29
Kyle
Yeah. How far away are they?
00:04:34
bladesedge
um making me a perception check.
00:04:38
Kyle
Sorry about that. um Perception. It's going to be 19.
00:04:46
bladesedge
of the 19, they are about 120 feet away, which means that they are going to fold dash for two turns. Which that we're not in combat rounds of turns, basically. So I'm letting you do, you know, more in a turn than
The Battle for Freedom
00:05:00
bladesedge
what you would in combat.
00:05:00
bladesedge
But after you, we go through your guys's order twice. They'll be here, but they're spread out. I mean, there's a lot of these guys, but they're in groups of five. So as you open this door, you see like five needle blights away, making their way towards you.
00:05:01
Kyle
yeah
00:05:15
Kyle
Cool. um I'm going to tell the rest of the guys, I'm going to say I'm going to, I'm going to get the horses ready. You guys grab the rest of the wine downstairs, that last barrel, and let's get this wagon loaded up as soon as we can. So I'm going to, I'm going to be crouched. I'm going to roll this barrel onto the wagon out here.
00:05:34
bladesedge
OK.
00:05:37
bladesedge
You ah roll the first barrel out. You put it on. There are now four barrels on the wagon. um Is there anything else you'd like to do during your turn?
00:05:45
Kyle
Well.
00:05:47
bladesedge
That kind of seems like a decent amount. But if there's anything else you had planned for you or Lance a lot, please let me know.
00:05:53
Kyle
um To get to the horses, is there any entrance that I see like just while I'm on this dock or do I have to go out and around?
00:06:02
bladesedge
Yeah, you don't see it from the dock, which means it would, you'd have to go out and around to the right, to the, to the east.
00:06:08
Kyle
um
00:06:11
Kyle
Right. Okay. Well, I will start. Even if I don't make it there this turn, how far could I get? Would you, would you want to move my token to where you think I could get movement wise heading towards the seals?
00:06:22
bladesedge
Yeah. I think from, from where you're at now, go, you can go ahead and move 30 feet.
00:06:28
Kyle
Okay. So I'm at the edge of the dock here.
00:06:34
bladesedge
Cool.
00:06:35
gil
Okay.
00:06:35
bladesedge
At the edge of the dock. One turn for Roy. Done. All right. Fez. Bezrak, Bainval.
00:06:44
Vesz_rak
Hi, guys.
00:06:46
bladesedge
You're up. You're hurt. What do you do?
00:06:49
Vesz_rak
Since we need more bottles of wine, I'm gonna run east to the slide where they were bringing up the barrels, and then I'm gonna slide down back into the basement and grab is start filling up like my robes, anything I can get to as many bottles as I can.
00:06:56
bladesedge
Okay.
00:07:06
bladesedge
I love it. This vat was exploded in the thunder wave. So it truly is like a slide with like this wine ah seeped into this room. You put your like robes underneath you slide down.
00:07:17
Vesz_rak
Yeah, a little slide action.
00:07:19
bladesedge
ha
00:07:19
Vesz_rak
and i start And I make a little basket with my robes and just start filling up as many bottles as I can.
00:07:22
bladesedge
OK, so let's see. What do you how many do you already have on you?
00:07:31
Vesz_rak
ah So I have five of the poison ones that I poisoned, and then I have three of the ones with the ball yeah with the ball bearings.
00:07:36
bladesedge
Molotov cocktails and what's your strength score?
00:07:42
Vesz_rak
It's a four, it's a minus three.
00:07:45
bladesedge
Okay. So I would say you already have eight. I'd say with this eight, you could probably get, um, we'll say, uh, a D six plus, uh, a D four more.
00:08:02
bladesedge
So potential of 10 more. These would be actual.
00:08:02
Vesz_rak
yeah
00:08:05
Kyle
Max roll this.
00:08:05
bladesedge
These would be not poisoned, not Molotov cocktail balls of wine.
00:08:08
Vesz_rak
Careful Oh max 10 max it out, baby.
00:08:09
Kyle
Whoa, he max rolled.
00:08:11
gil
Wow.
00:08:11
Trevor
Good man.
00:08:11
bladesedge
Well, I did plus a D4. So yeah, sorry.
00:08:14
Vesz_rak
Oh, man. Oh Okay, roll it roll it up.
00:08:15
bladesedge
You get six for sure. Roll a D4. I have faith.
00:08:18
Kyle
Watch this.
00:08:19
bladesedge
Watch this. Yeah, watch.
00:08:21
gil
ah Watch that.
00:08:21
Trevor
Oh my God.
00:08:21
bladesedge
Hey, watch this.
00:08:21
Kyle
ah
00:08:22
Vesz_rak
Oh, this?
00:08:22
gil
oh Spider Queen delivers.
00:08:23
bladesedge
Come on.
00:08:26
bladesedge
All right.
00:08:26
Kyle
Let's go.
00:08:26
Vesz_rak
Oh
00:08:27
bladesedge
Of the 27 downstairs, you grab 10. So there's still 17. If you guys want to try and get any more, and there is still one barrel down here.
00:08:36
Vesz_rak
I'm not strong enough to get the barrel.
00:08:38
bladesedge
Okay.
00:08:39
Vesz_rak
This is like matched out strength. I'm i'm going for my max here.
00:08:43
Trevor
Okay.
00:08:44
Vesz_rak
um I'd like to make my way back. Is it feasible to try to make my way back up the slide the way I came or would I have to run towards the stairs to the west?
00:08:52
bladesedge
Um, you know, uh, oh, it's, it is slick. I'd say you can, you can attempt it, but you see that there, this goes into the glass blowing workshop. This is the slide, but it's slick. So there's a potential you could fall or you go to the other side of the room and take the stairs.
00:09:06
Vesz_rak
I'm gonna take it to the stairs. I'm going to the stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs.
00:09:08
gil
i I get the ke Kevin with the chili from the office in my own mind.
00:09:12
Vesz_rak
Yeah, exactly.
00:09:12
Kyle
Yeah.
00:09:13
bladesedge
Yeah, exactly.
00:09:13
Trevor
Yeah.
00:09:14
Vesz_rak
I start bobbing and weaving around these broken bottles of wine. I step over the dead blights, the dead druid, and I'm making my way towards the stairs as fast as I can.
00:09:23
bladesedge
Cool. So you can get up. You want to go up those stairs on the west.
00:09:27
Vesz_rak
Yeah, on the west, I go past the spooky room that I don't even know exists. I go, hey, the door's open and I keep going.
00:09:31
bladesedge
OK. So you get, since you since that's that's kind of a lot, we're going to put you at the bottom of the stairs for your first round.
00:09:37
Vesz_rak
Okay, that's fine.
00:09:39
bladesedge
All right. Valerius.
00:09:42
Trevor
Uh, I think I'm going to continue pushing that, uh, that crate that I brought up at the, uh, in the last session. And I'm going to push the barrel.
00:09:51
bladesedge
A barrel.
00:09:53
Trevor
Yeah. And push that out onto the, uh, the wagon as well. I cannot move East currently through this door.
00:10:01
bladesedge
Boop.
00:10:01
Trevor
Nice. Hell yeah. Um, yeah, grab the barrel, push forward.
00:10:06
bladesedge
All right. You roll the barrel on. You guys now have five barrels on this thing. The other three, by the way, you see are strapped in. And then the one that Roy has on there is just kind of like it's on top. It's in there. And it's heavy. So it's not necessarily going anywhere. But it's also not strapped in.
00:10:26
bladesedge
And this is fifth one. so
00:10:26
Trevor
Okay.
00:10:27
Trevor
Then yeah, I'll push the, uh, let's see if I'm zoomed in. I'll push the, the, I'll make sure that Roy's barrel is like sitting between these top two barrels. And then mine are like between, I can't really mark it without like a marker and I don't fuck with it. But you see how there's like three? I'll try and pyramid them so that like the other one is like sitting between those.
00:10:49
bladesedge
Cool.
00:10:51
Trevor
Mine is sitting between the bottom two. And then whenever we get the third, if we can push that one on, if it can even like sit on this like bench thing in the back, and then we can rope and just tie the end to keep them from rolling out is my kind of plan there.
00:10:59
bladesedge
Cool.
00:11:06
Trevor
um I think until the horses get out, I would run to the front, assuming I can hear Roy over there. yeah Oh, I can see him right here, I guess.
00:11:17
Kyle
It's not.
00:11:17
Trevor
um I would try and I just said, you know, you're grabbing the horses. Yeah.
00:11:23
Kyle
ah Yeah, that's the plan.
00:11:25
Trevor
tight, I'll ah try and ready the cart to attach them. And I'll just try and I'll be trying to get to the front of the cart and see where the horses would attach so that if and when he can get the horses out here, it's a quicker um process to attach them to the cart.
00:11:42
bladesedge
Cool. Uh, you see these needle blights, usually five of them running directly towards you guys. And you can put your token at the front of the carts or have hopped down off the raised platform to the front of the cart.
00:11:49
Trevor
Okay.
00:11:54
bladesedge
Um, that seems good to me unless there's anything else.
00:11:59
Trevor
Uh, nah, no, I think that's probably all I would have time for here.
00:12:04
bladesedge
All right. Gil.
00:12:09
gil
Hell yeah. So I see everyone kind of rushing to action. Um, and do I clock that, um, Valerius had a bunch of straps of, um, or scraps of, uh, torn cloth on him from downstairs?
00:12:24
bladesedge
That's a question for Valeria. See, what what do you think?
00:12:26
Trevor
Yeah, prob- I mean, I grabbed 50, so I'd have a bunch. I'd probably have some, like, tied to my arms and shit, like, some maybe overflowing in my pockets and stuff.
00:12:35
gil
Yeah.
00:12:35
Trevor
Yeah, I'd have a fuckload on me.
00:12:37
gil
Okay. So I, uh, I whip off my backpack and, um, I know that I need to get upstairs and get the other barrels, right? There's two more barrels upstairs.
00:12:47
bladesedge
No, there's only one downstairs.
00:12:49
gil
Oh, there's only one downstairs. Okay. So I'm going to take that off and I'm going to yell out to Valerius and say, um, uh, I need you to tie off some of these.
00:12:50
bladesedge
Hmm.
00:12:58
gil
Um, they've already got oil in them, so be careful. And I sprint off downstairs.
00:13:03
bladesedge
Okay. Um, you go downstairs.
00:13:11
bladesedge
Slick getting down there, but you get down there. You see, uh, Vess rack all the way at the West end about to make his way up the stairs and there's one barrel left.
00:13:19
gil
Yeah, I grab it.
00:13:21
bladesedge
Okay. You grab the barrel and you're going to roll it and attempt to roll it up the this way.
00:13:27
gil
Um, I think I'm just going to stick behind, um, that's rack and just help.
00:13:31
bladesedge
Okay. So this barrel is really, really heavy and these are stairs. So I'm going to need.
00:13:34
gil
Oh yeah. Yeah. That's right. He only has bottles. Yeah. I'll push it up. I'll push it up.
00:13:37
bladesedge
Okay. So you're going to push up the ramp.
00:13:39
gil
Yep.
00:13:40
bladesedge
Okay. So I'll give you two options. We could say you're using, that's a quick, I run down. What did you write for your ran down? You gave. So what'd you give to Lancelot?
00:13:49
gil
I didn't give anything to Lancelot. I just left my backpack with all of the improvised explosives in it upstairs.
00:13:54
bladesedge
Upstairs. Cool.
00:13:54
Trevor
Yeah, could we say, Brian, feel free as to say no.
00:13:57
Trevor
Could we say if this is all kind of like happening around the same time, if he would have dropped that before he went down while I was pushing the barrel, could I have just snagged it and brought it with me to the front of the cart?
00:14:00
bladesedge
Yeah.
00:14:06
bladesedge
Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:08
Trevor
Is that possible? Okay, cool.
00:14:09
bladesedge
I love it. Yeah. Time's wibbly. Well, right now we're in, we're in heist mode.
00:14:13
bladesedge
This is oceans 11, uh, type
00:14:13
Trevor
Yeah.
00:14:13
gil
Yeah.
00:14:14
Kyle
Yeah.
Critical Moments and Recovery
00:14:16
bladesedge
shit.
00:14:16
bladesedge
Okay. So since you're doing that and and that's not ah quite a lot, I'm going to give you an option here at Gilman.
00:14:20
gil
Yeah.
00:14:21
bladesedge
I'm going to say you roll that thing and you roll it to the edge down here. And since you have time, you could attempt to speed run this barrel up there right now, or you could take your time and you'll start the next turn up there. Uh, but your turn will end now.
00:14:39
gil
I'm going to take my time and my turn will end.
00:14:41
bladesedge
Cool. So your token, you can put your token right here. ah Next, or next time you will literally, you'll just start, boom, right there ah with with the the casket in hand.
00:14:49
gil
Great.
00:14:52
gil
Sounds good. That's me.
00:14:53
bladesedge
Cast. All right, this is the second round. So Roy, up first, you see these things are only 60 feet away and you see five coming straight for you.
00:15:04
bladesedge
um As you're about to around this corner, you see there are others around the house, you see there was to the left of you. that area where you guys killed that one druid was an open veranda. There weren't doors there. So you see five running towards that veranda. You see five way off to the west that are making their way maybe to the door on the west side of the house. um You can only assume there are some probably coming from the south. They're going to enter in through the the glass workshop starting next round. ah But Roy, you are here. What do you do?
00:15:04
Kyle
Okay.
00:15:39
Kyle
Yeah, so I'm gonna hop down off of this dock here and head over to the stable doors and open these doors.
00:15:42
bladesedge
Okay.
00:15:46
bladesedge
Okay. All right. You open the stable doors and you see, um, let me go ahead and read it for you.
00:15:54
Kyle
Oh shit.
00:15:57
bladesedge
Uh, you see, there are two draft horses here, uh, that are used to pull the wine wagon. You see that they are both currently in stables.
00:16:09
bladesedge
So like, these are the doors, it opens up and now there's two of them and they're behind little gates.
00:16:14
Kyle
um
00:16:17
Kyle
Okay, then I will go up to the first one and open the open the gates. Do I need like harnesses or do they already have harnesses on?
00:16:26
bladesedge
yeah They have everything there. What I will need is an animal handling check to see if, if in, in all of this craziness.
00:16:35
Kyle
Okay. Okay, okay.
00:16:44
bladesedge
And is there anything your dark gift can do to help you?
00:16:48
Kyle
Let me take a look.
00:16:48
bladesedge
These shadow creatures, as you look up in the rafters of this stable, you see these little creatures creature with big white eyes and a big toothy smile.
00:16:59
Kyle
Yeah, but it would. It's an action to.
00:17:03
bladesedge
It's okay. We're not in combat. So if you want to use stuff like that, you can.
00:17:05
Kyle
Okay.
00:17:09
Kyle
So yeah, I will I will use my action to influence the presence of guiding the watchers for one hour and then I'll have advantage on intelligence and wisdom checks and animal handling handling is wisdom. So I'm gonna
00:17:23
bladesedge
Absolutely love that.
00:17:24
gil
Love that.
00:17:25
Trevor
Fuck yeah.
00:17:26
bladesedge
You see that you see of all these little critters, there are all these little jackals and ravens and indiscriminate creatures that aren't, you know, earthly that you've never seen. There seems to be a leader, this one that you keep seeing with the big smile. And as he jumps down off the the top, he lands on the horse's back and you see that he takes some shadow stuff out of his hand and pulls it and stretches the shadow stuff until it's wide about as wide as your face. on this tiny creature and he takes this wide amount of shadow and puts it on the top of his head and it forms a cowboy hat.
00:18:01
Kyle
Oh, that's fine.
00:18:01
gil
Oh, well howdy.
00:18:04
Vesz_rak
All right, all right, all right.
00:18:04
Kyle
A howdy.
00:18:05
bladesedge
And, uh, you can roll it.
00:18:05
Trevor
Fit.
00:18:06
Kyle
Cool.
00:18:07
bladesedge
Animal handling check at advantage.
00:18:10
Kyle
Six.
00:18:11
bladesedge
Gonna need it.
00:18:13
Kyle
Ten.
00:18:14
bladesedge
OK, with a 10, this thing is going to go with you. It walks with you al as you lead it out.
00:18:20
Kyle
Hmm.
00:18:21
bladesedge
But this thing is like, it's um cautious.
00:18:29
Kyle
cautious. Okay. Can I can I bring both of them at once?
00:18:30
bladesedge
Yes.

bladesedge
You have to go one at a time.
00:18:34
Kyle
Okay.
00:18:36
bladesedge
Yeah, with ah with with with a 10, I think you realize i this one's already cautious. i got I should just go one at a time here.
00:18:42
Kyle
Okay.
00:18:43
bladesedge
Can I bring both at once? Where are the balloons?
00:18:48
Kyle

Vesz_rak
There's two leads, Brian, come on.
00:18:49
Kyle
Well, I'm not carrying them. Yeah. Um, okay.
00:18:53
gil
Come on, Horsey.
00:18:53
Kyle
Yeah. And I'll just, uh, I'll, I'll, uh, pet his snout, I guess. Is that his, his, his nose?
00:19:01
Vesz_rak
He has nose, they don't have snouts, but they have noses, horses have noses.
00:19:01
Kyle

bladesedge
The famous ranger, Roy Halovich. Horses have snouts, right?
00:19:12
Trevor
Is that a, it's a beak, right?
00:19:13
Vesz_rak
It's a pig horse, pig horse.
00:19:14
bladesedge
Yeah.
00:19:16
Kyle
um
00:19:17
bladesedge
yeah it's like It's like those guys that walk dogs, like you paid for walking dogs. I can just have as many as I want behind me.
00:19:22
Trevor
but
00:19:23
bladesedge
Just leave them all.
00:19:24
gil
It's
00:19:25
Vesz_rak
Hey, don't be mean, maybe in Roy's 230 years of life, he's never seen a horse before, so be gentle with him.
00:19:25
Kyle
um
00:19:26
bladesedge
ah
00:19:30
bladesedge
but
00:19:31
gil
true
00:19:31
Kyle
Yeah.
00:19:33
bladesedge
All right.
00:19:33
Kyle
I've only seen pig horse hybrids.
00:19:33
bladesedge
So you lead this guy to the front.
00:19:35
Kyle
Yeah. Just, just comforting him to the best of my ability. And I'm gonna lead him to the front and and get him over to the wagon and try and get him hooked up on one side of the wagon.
00:19:42
bladesedge
All right. Valerius one is brought over to you and Roy, anything else you want to do on your turn?
00:19:48
Kyle
Can I dash back to the stable?
00:19:51
bladesedge
You want to try and do the second one.
00:19:53
Kyle
Yeah.
00:19:53
bladesedge
Okay. Dash back. You see the second one and I need another animal handling check.
00:20:00
Kyle
And yeah, I still get advantage. I have it for an hour, so.
00:20:03
bladesedge
That's right.
00:20:06
Kyle
Wait, I'm sorry. Did we finish? We haven't finished a long rest, have we?
00:20:10
bladesedge
No.
00:20:13
Kyle
I can't use this again until I finished a long rest.
00:20:15
bladesedge
That's okay. and And this wibbly wobbly time here, we're saying that you're, you're, you're able to use it for right now.
00:20:20
Kyle
Okay. Yeah, my, my fault.
00:20:21
bladesedge
Yeah. That's all good.
00:20:22
Kyle
Um, 11. So should I use the advantage or do you want me to not?
00:20:28
bladesedge
Okay. Yeah. Use the advantage. Yeah.
00:20:30
Kyle
Okay.
00:20:33
Kyle
All right, 22.
00:20:33
Vesz_rak
Oh, 22.
00:20:34
bladesedge
Okay.
00:20:35
Vesz_rak
Let's go.
00:20:35
bladesedge
This guy looks way more at ease. Uh, maybe the older of the two horses and has seen maybe various different owners come and you lead him to the front.
00:20:46
Kyle
Cool.
00:20:47
bladesedge
All right. Oh, I would say that is probably your turn.
00:20:49
Kyle
And then yeah. Yeah, that's my turn.
00:20:53
bladesedge
All right. Um, up next. That's rack in the basement.
00:21:01
Vesz_rak
I'm running up the I'm running up the stairs trying to get to the wagon.
00:21:05
bladesedge
You run up the stairs. You make it to here. All the way up the stairs. You're on the first floor.
00:21:10
Vesz_rak
Uh, I'm going to just keep running. I'm going to run through the doors, burst through them very gingerly. I'm like Kevin holding the chili, no chili incidences. And I'm going to start as safely, but as expeditedly as I can get to the wagon with the bottles.
00:21:21
Trevor
Bye.
00:21:25
bladesedge
i um You make your way all the way to the wagon with the bottles.
00:21:32
Vesz_rak
Okay.
00:21:33
bladesedge
You're there. You're at the back of the wagon.
00:21:36
Vesz_rak
And at the back of the wagon, I'd like to, um, pretty quickly load them all up. And then if I can, I'd like to take a peek to see if I can see all of the vine guys running at us.
00:21:49
bladesedge
Yeah, you see that they're about to be here, like using their full dash that they will go on next round.
00:21:57
Vesz_rak
Okay. So I would like to cast a minor illusion, 30 feet kind of like in the clump of them, like kind of behind him, if I can, as far back as I can.
00:22:06
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
00:22:08
Vesz_rak
And I'd like it to shout. Um, to the best of my ability, say, Oh, Sybus in the, like the druidic language that I heard from downstairs, knowing that I don't know druidic, I don't speak it, but like trying to imitate that voice, but most clearly have it ring out and say, Oh, Sybus trying to distract them and get them to kind of falter for a split second to give us more time.
00:22:30
Kyle
Hmm.
00:22:31
bladesedge
Okay, make me an arcana check.
00:22:34
Vesz_rak
Uh, Conner plus five.
00:22:35
Kyle
Oh,
00:22:37
Vesz_rak
That's a net 20, Brian.
00:22:38
Trevor
Oh my god.
00:22:39
gil
Oh, yeah.
00:22:39
Vesz_rak
I'm not messing around today. I ain't messing around.
00:22:42
bladesedge
All right, you you cast that spell behind them and you see all of them stop for a second and turn and look
00:22:43
Trevor
Jesus Christ.
00:22:50
bladesedge
And it has momentarily distracted the first wave of needle blights.
00:22:54
Trevor
Let's go.
00:22:56
bladesedge
You also see in this wagon, five barrels in the back, 10 bottles. And at the front. When the horses are going to be led, there's only really room for like a person to sit. So the rest of you will have to. either pack back into this back, uh, into where the stuff is loaded or ride the horses. So you have to decide where you are going to be when you guys decide to take off.
00:23:26
Vesz_rak
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna just get into the wagon.
00:23:28
gil
Okay.
00:23:30
bladesedge
Okay.
00:23:31
Vesz_rak
I'm just gonna get to the back.
00:23:31
bladesedge
So you're getting in the back. Okay.
00:23:32
Vesz_rak
yeah I'll get to the back, I'll get to the back.
00:23:34
bladesedge
All right. You were in the back of the wagon.
00:23:39
bladesedge
Okay. That is a great turn. Valerius, you're up.
00:23:47
Trevor
All right. I'm going to try and make sure these horses are secured to the wagon as best as I can.
00:23:54
bladesedge
OK. I will need an animal handling check for both for the one that he succeeded on the one on the right.
00:23:59
Trevor
and Okay.
00:24:02
bladesedge
You will have advantage. The one on the left is just going to be a straight roll.
00:24:04
Trevor
Okay.
00:24:07
Trevor
Okay.
00:24:07
bladesedge
Which one would you like to do first?
00:24:09
Trevor
Uh, I'll do the advantage one first.
00:24:11
bladesedge
OK, the one on the right.
00:24:12
Trevor
Give you that one animal handling. Oh.
00:24:16
Kyle
Oh my Lord.
00:24:16
Trevor
At 20.
00:24:17
Vesz_rak
Dude, we're rolling high, baby.
00:24:17
bladesedge
Oh, baby, you guys are rolling hot.
00:24:18
gil
You're kidding me.
00:24:19
Vesz_rak
We're rolling high.
00:24:19
Trevor
We're fucking crazy.
00:24:21
bladesedge
That guy, that guy loves you guys so much.
00:24:21
gil
Is that two?
00:24:24
bladesedge
He's digging the vibe. He loves this his action. He's so bored with his life that he nudges the one on the left and he's going to give you advantage for the one on the left as well as nonetheless sees how calm he is.
00:24:27
gil
Oh, we're gonna escape.
00:24:29
Trevor
telling Oh my God, let's go.
00:24:34
Kyle
Oh, love it.
00:24:37
Trevor
Let's go.
00:24:40
gil
Remarkable.
00:24:41
Trevor
16.
00:24:44
bladesedge
Are you have advantage?
00:24:46
Trevor
That was with advantage.
00:24:47
bladesedge
Oh, it was.
00:24:48
Trevor
Yeah.
00:24:49
bladesedge
Oh, you were 13 and four. Nice. Okay. With the 16. Yeah. The other one is he's still, he's chilling.
00:24:54
Trevor
Hell yeah.
00:24:54
bladesedge
He's there. You were able to secure him, but he's not. It says the one on the right. No more animal handling checks. That guy's good to go.
00:25:00
gil
Hm.
00:25:01
bladesedge
The one on the left is he's there.
00:25:01
Trevor
Let's go. Still needs some convincing.
00:25:04
bladesedge
He's he's in a little bit. Yeah.
00:25:08
Trevor
Fire.
00:25:08
bladesedge
But they are hooked up.
00:25:09
Trevor
Okay. Sick. Um, with any time that I would have left, I would probably, once those are good to go, I'd come back up onto the dock and go around to the back of the cart and sit here and Kind of keep it on where all the bottles are going, make sure everything's getting loaded nicely and in a way that they won't fall out once we start jetting out of here and then tying a few of, you know, as many of these like cloth things. I would actually, before I went over here, I would maybe hand wherever Roy is. I would hand Roy, let's see, wait, how many did I have? 50. Yeah, I'd hand Roy like fucking 10 of these strips of cloth.
00:25:53
bladesedge
Okay.
00:25:53
Kyle
Cool.
00:25:56
Trevor
Um, just so he had them, if he'd like to use them on any arrows or whatnot. Uh, and then I would try once once I got to the back of this cart, I would try tying as many, uh, of those little makeshift Molotovs as I could.
00:26:13
bladesedge
Okay. All right. You do that. You tie some makeshift Molotov's to just so that you have the, um, the pieces of cloth in them. You're saying.
00:26:22
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:24
bladesedge
Cool. Uh, so roll me a, how many do you have? You have 11, right?
00:26:28
gil
Should be eight because three are on best rack.
00:26:31
bladesedge
Okay. Right. You roll me a D we'll go D eight or no, we're we all a D four. Plus a D four is how many you get done on this turn to D four.
00:26:40
Trevor
D four to duty for four.
00:26:42
bladesedge
Yeah.
00:26:44
Trevor
four
00:26:46
gil
Wow.
00:26:46
bladesedge
Okay.
00:26:46
Trevor
What's the new four?
00:26:46
bladesedge
So you got half of them. You tied half of them up and got the horses tied. Great turn.
00:26:51
Trevor
Hell yeah. Let's go.
00:26:52
bladesedge
amazing turn.
00:26:53
gil
Fantastic.
00:26:53
bladesedge
um We will probably say that is your turn right there.
00:26:53
Trevor
I need to remove these from my inventory.
00:26:59
bladesedge
And then that is Gil we start at the top of the thing you took your time you've got the barrel.
00:27:01
gil
I'm barreling up.
00:27:08
gil
Yeah, I'm pushing the barrel forward, looking at Lancelot, and I say, ah I don't say anything, and then I walk by.
00:27:17
bladesedge
Okay.
00:27:17
gil
um And then I load the next barrel onto the cart. How are we looking in here, guys?
00:27:22
bladesedge
Okay.
00:27:25
Kyle
Um, well you're out, you're outside at the cart.
00:27:26
Vesz_rak
Uh, good.
00:27:26
bladesedge
um
00:27:26
Vesz_rak
I'm like, I'm like putting wine bottles down and like sorting them and trying to get everything tied down.
00:27:31
Trevor
They're close. They're getting super close. We got to go.
00:27:33
gil
Okay. And how, are how did the, uh, how did their Molotovs look?
00:27:34
Kyle
Yeah.
00:27:36
Trevor
I hand them the four.
00:27:38
gil
Oh, this is good work.
00:27:40
Vesz_rak
Can I hand him my four as well?
00:27:42
bladesedge
You have three.
00:27:42
Vesz_rak
A three, my three.
00:27:44
bladesedge
Yes.
00:27:44
Vesz_rak
Okay. I'll hand him my three.
00:27:46
gil
Hell yeah.
00:27:46
Trevor
ah You're 30, the 30 that you had.
00:27:48
bladesedge
Ha.
00:27:49
Vesz_rak
Yeah, I actually had 58, uh, multiops in my inventory.
00:27:51
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:52
gil
Yeah.
00:27:53
Trevor
I think it sort of worked.
00:27:53
gil
Hey, um, that's right. I think you and I should kick it back here. I might need you to light some of these things.
00:27:59
Vesz_rak
okay all right
00:28:01
gil
Uh, and I jump into the back.
00:28:04
bladesedge
OK, you so OK, so you're in the back. ah You roll the so there's six barrels back there and two people, which is a lot. um So that that back is is packed up. And you do you tie down that last barrel.
00:28:24
Trevor
Yeah, I'd like to try, yeah, if I can help them with that as well.
00:28:24
gil
Yeah.
00:28:25
Vesz_rak
Okay, all right.
00:28:28
bladesedge
Cool. Yeah, because as as you got up there, everything else had been tied up from Vesrak and Valeria. So you get that, tie it up, get some Molotovs. um And they are using the the strips to make the the the rest of those, the last four.
00:28:29
Trevor
Tie that whole back up.
00:28:47
gil
um Yeah, yeah, I can do that with the rest of my turn.
00:28:48
bladesedge
You want to do that?
00:28:50
bladesedge
Cool. Yeah, you finish that up. You guys get in the back, close the end of the wagon, and
00:28:50
gil
Finish him up.
00:29:01
bladesedge
at the start of the third round. The horses are locked in. Two of you guys are in the back. Valerius is behind. Roy, you're out front.
00:29:12
Kyle
Mm hmm.
00:29:12
bladesedge
And these guys arrive. Five of them.
00:29:22
bladesedge
Sorry, Roy. This guy's be right in front of you. These guys arrive out front, but I'm going to roll their initiative at a disadvantage because of the arcana check.
00:29:33
Trevor
in.
00:29:34
bladesedge
So their, their initiative is only a plus one.
00:29:35
Vesz_rak
Let's go.
00:29:38
bladesedge
So the lowest initiative you guys have is a 12. So they're already going last. Cool.
00:29:44
gil
Fantastic.
00:29:45
bladesedge
They're going last. It'll blights. Um, boom. And there's only five. You see more guys out and about, but five of them made it to you guys.
00:29:56
Kyle
Okay.
00:29:56
bladesedge
Um, and they are looking to swarm or do something. And Roy, you're up first.
00:30:05
Kyle
Am I gonna incur an opportunity attack if I move?
00:30:10
bladesedge
You are so since we're not kind of in, we're doing this kind of like wibbly wobbly, it's not combat, but there are combat mechanics that are happening.
00:30:14
Kyle
Yeah.
00:30:17
bladesedge
Um, like if you disengage from him, it'll just limit like the amount of stuff you can do right now, or you can just like take the head and you can do a little bit more.
00:30:26
Kyle
Okay. Um, first thing I'm going to do is whistle for Lancelot to come over here.
00:30:29
bladesedge
Hmm.
00:30:32
Kyle
Cause I haven't seen him this whole time. I want to whistle for him. And as he's coming over, I want him to sprint and jump off the dock and dissipate into a Raven and he's just going to join me on my shoulder.
00:30:44
Trevor
So sick.
00:30:45
bladesedge
Okay. I absolutely love that. Let's see. I don't, I think we, and I love it for the flavor of it. I do think you can't always do that just as a heads up.
00:31:01
Kyle
Okay. What's the, what's the ruling on that?
00:31:02
bladesedge
So it's, I think it's, uh, when you summon the beast, you determine the kind of animal the beast is. Whatever kind you choose, the beast bears the primal markings indicating its mystical origin.
00:31:12
Kyle
Okay.
00:31:16
bladesedge
ah When you finish a long rest, you can summon a different primal beast.
00:31:20
bladesedge
Uh, love it though, for the, the, the flavor of right now, since we're not really in combat.
00:31:21
Kyle
Okay.
00:31:21
Kyle
Gotcha.
00:31:25
bladesedge
Um, and this is just sort of, but just, just moving forward. Cause I missed that our last session. And I was, I was listening back and I was like, Oh, that's right.
00:31:31
Kyle
Okay.
00:31:33
bladesedge
So here you go here.
00:31:34
Kyle
Yeah.
00:31:34
bladesedge
but This guy appears right next to you. Um, and let me give you control over this token.
00:31:42
Kyle
Cool.
00:31:43
bladesedge
Oh, which you have. So he's right next to you Lancelot disappears.
00:31:46
Kyle
Oops.
00:31:50
Kyle
Okay, yeah, i'll I'll keep that in mind for next time I won't have them shape shifting every, every five seconds.
00:31:53
bladesedge
Cool.
00:31:57
gil
Pretty cool though.
00:31:57
bladesedge
No, no worries.
00:31:57
Kyle
um Yeah. Okay, I guess I'm just gonna Hop on to this horse. um And yeah, just give him a little pat on the back. um It's okay to make him comfy even though he's surrounded by all these enemies. Oops.
00:32:19
Kyle
Yeah, I'm just gonna hop on this horse's back and ask everyone if we're ready to go. Or demand to get ready to go.
00:32:25
bladesedge
Okay.
00:32:27
Vesz_rak
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
00:32:28
gil
Yeah.
00:32:28
bladesedge
As you, as you hop on his back, you're going to incur an opportunity attack.
00:32:28
Kyle
Let's go.
00:32:31
bladesedge
So you can either disengage and we can call your turn there, or you could hop on his back and do something else, but you incurring an opportunity attack.
00:32:31
Kyle
Sure.
00:32:39
Kyle
um
00:32:40
bladesedge
Like attack, or do you have anything else you'd like to do cast spell?
00:32:44
Kyle
So I have the Hunter's Mark and I have it for an hour, but it says the...
00:32:50
bladesedge
Hmm.
00:32:53
Kyle
Let me me find the spell here. So if if the creature that I'm focused is on drops to zero hit points before the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on a subsequent turn of yours to mark a new creature.
00:33:07
bladesedge
Cool. Yeah. if You can mark one of these creatures.
00:33:08
Kyle
So as still applies. So I'm gonna I'm just gonna mark the one that is attacking me. um I'm gonna jump.
00:33:14
bladesedge
So you're going to incur the opportunity attack.
00:33:16
Kyle
I'm going I'm Yeah, I'm going to incur the opportunity.
00:33:19
bladesedge
Okay. So as you do, his claw comes out at you ah missing.
00:33:24
Kyle
misses Misses. Cool. I'm gonna hop on to his horse as I'm doing
00:33:29
bladesedge
The nat 20 horse, all good, no animal handling check necessary.
00:33:34
Kyle
yeah As I'm doing that, I'm gonna pull out my sword and just swipe down at him from the- from my steed.
00:33:38
bladesedge
Okay.
00:33:42
bladesedge
Climb up on my way for Steve.
00:33:47
Trevor
I like the idea that that's the horse singing that.
00:33:47
Kyle
A 10.
00:33:50
gil
yeah
00:33:51

Vesz_rak
Yeah!
00:39:06
gil
Ooh, home grown.
00:39:07

00:39:28
bladesedge
Um, and as you start to take off, you see that you are about to encounter a lot more of these things. Um, as you see at least another five of these things, Valerius in your way out of here.
00:39:49
Trevor
Okay Um, I don't
00:39:49
bladesedge
Um, Uh, so you jump in the back, you guys start to take off and what would you like to do? Anything you'd like to do, any spells or anything of that nature. You can also give the help action for animal handling and things of that.
00:40:03
Trevor
I don't think any spells yet. I think I want to, if possible, I kind of want to hold the spell action.
00:40:05
bladesedge
Mm-hmm.
00:40:08
Trevor
Um, but I also want to get, so I see these guys right here, but there's also like, we're surrounded by like a foresty area, right? Where there's a lot more like coming towards us.
00:40:21
bladesedge
Yeah, there's ah they're all around you and the forest is about 120, 150 feet away, which is how long you guys have to travel.
00:40:28
Trevor
So.
00:40:30
bladesedge
You guys have to make it there to be out of this whole scenario.
00:40:33
Trevor
So what's the if what's this direction?
00:40:37
bladesedge
um Also, just more of those guys and more trees full circle your circle all sides.
00:40:46
Trevor
and Okay. Should I do a fucking one time thing? Should I do a fucking, you know what? Fuck it. I'm gonna try and I'm gonna, ah We'll say Valerius is a little spooked right now and he's getting a little freaked out so he's going to take out his holy symbol again and ah say a little prayer to Sehenin and he's going to cast Moonbeam for the first time.
00:41:19
bladesedge
Wow, I love that.
00:41:19
Trevor
um
00:41:19
Vesz_rak

00:41:20
gil
Oh, classic Gildre maneuver.
00:41:21
bladesedge
OK, the the fog ah up above. In the night sky moves and the moon shines through and who are you casting that at?
00:41:35
Trevor
I think for for right now, i'll put it I'll put the, can I draw on this thing? Free hand, ooh, eclipse.
00:41:41
bladesedge
Sure.
00:41:42
gil
Also, Bri, what is the weather like right now as we're escaping from Wizard of Wines?
00:41:46
Trevor
Wait.
00:41:47
bladesedge
it's bent The weather's been the same the entire time you've been in Barovia. It has been gray, overcast, gloomy.
00:41:58
gil
So Seattle January, got it.
00:42:00
bladesedge
Exactly.
00:42:02
Vesz_rak
But just wait, just wait till the summertime. Summertime in Barovia is gonna slap, just like summertime in Seattle.
00:42:07
gil
yeah
00:42:08
Kyle
Haha.
00:42:09
bladesedge
All right, so Trev, who are you casting that at?
00:42:11
Trevor
Uh, I just put it right in between these two that are right next to us for now.
00:42:16
bladesedge
Oh, cool. So is it a consave?
00:42:18
Trevor
Uh, yeah, but let me even make sure here I can display this. I can't remember Galdryx cast it a million times and I never remember if it, ah creature <unk> the the spells area for the first time on a turn. Okay. enters the spells area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn.
00:42:36
bladesedge
Well, yeah, it's it's at the start of their turn, but they're next so or they're after Gil.
00:42:36
Trevor
Okay. So I think it's, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:40
bladesedge
So we'll just we'll just roll it now because we're in this wibbly wobbly time.
00:42:43
Trevor
Okay.
00:42:43
bladesedge
You have a plus two first guy fails. Second guy succeeds.
00:42:48
Trevor
Perfect. So it'll just be eight radiant damage.
00:42:55
bladesedge
Cool.
00:42:55
Trevor
And then I think.
00:42:56
bladesedge
One of them insanely hurts. Uh, the other taking half. Uh, also also, they don't have to hit points if they have 11. So, you know, that one of them is now at three ones at seven.
00:43:07
Trevor
Hell yeah. Noice. Uh, and I will, I think I'll probably just spend my time getting out of this concentrating and on that thing and just moving it around. you know If we come up on somebody or somebody comes up directly on us, I'll move it towards them. Yeah.
00:43:26
bladesedge
Cool. um All right. Love that. That is your third turn. You guys take off from the house. I have my pen in my mouth.
00:43:36
gil
Hmm.
00:43:37
bladesedge
You guys take off.
00:43:39
gil

00:43:40
bladesedge
from the from the house. um And Gil, before we reach this next ah round, you go. The the needle bites you can see go, and then we will enter this skill check to get out of this whole thing. um What would you like to do, Gil?
00:43:56
gil
Yeah, I'm going to use to a soul knife attacks to shoot at the ones that are in the moonbeam just to get them completely off of our ah our flank.
00:44:05
bladesedge
All right, their armor class is 12.
00:44:07

Okay, and my attack with the first is only gonna be a nine.
00:44:14
bladesedge
All right, your first one misses.
00:44:15
gil
Okay, bonus action with the other ah dagger. It's gonna be a 22.
00:44:22
bladesedge
Nice. And is that the the close one or the far one?
00:44:25
gil
It's gonna be the far one.
00:44:27
bladesedge
Cool. Seven is exactly the hit points it has. Soul knife goes through and this soulless creature dies.
00:44:36
gil
sun Excellent. Um, and then that is going to be my action bonus action. And then I just look at the, uh, at the Molotov's say, you know, time to chuck some good shit.
00:44:53
bladesedge
Nice. Yeah, we're, we're, we're out of combat. We're not doing regular combat rules for this. So there's anything else you'd like to do. Let me know.

00:52:08
Vesz_rak
Thank God.
00:52:12
bladesedge
Vesrak, before you do anything else, I do need a, uh, a check to ah drive this thing.
00:52:20
Vesz_rak
Well, animal handling, here we go.
00:52:21
bladesedge
It's not an animal animal check. It's just a straight eat pretty 20 cents.
00:52:23
Vesz_rak
Oh, it's just a straight D20.
00:52:24
gil
Hehehehe.
00:52:25
Kyle
Oh.
00:52:25
bladesedge
You're not proficient in land vehicles, but you have advantage.
00:52:26
Vesz_rak
Oh, I know. OK. Here we go, D20. 7 on the first one. Hold on to your butts. Second one coming right at you. 11.
00:52:37
bladesedge
I think it's probably plus your deck. So what's your decks gives us a 14 on a 14.
00:52:40
Vesz_rak
Dex is plus 3.
00:52:42
Trevor
Thank
00:52:44
bladesedge
Uh, make me an animal handling check at advantage for this ornery horse on the left. That is not fully convinced yet.
00:52:50
Trevor
you.
00:52:50
Vesz_rak
Come on, we can be friends.
00:52:52
Kyle
This horse is a tough sell.
00:52:55
Vesz_rak
Dirty 20.
00:52:55
gil
Yeah!
00:52:55
bladesedge
Yeah, there you go.
00:52:56
Kyle
Nice.
00:52:56
Trevor
Oh.
00:52:56
bladesedge
Now you have advantage.
00:52:57
bladesedge
Let's give you now 20.
00:52:57
gil
Ooh.
00:52:58
Vesz_rak
Yeah, dirty 20, dirty 20. We'll keep it at that.
00:53:00
bladesedge
Nice. This horse sees the other one gets, it understands the mission, trample all the shit in front of you.
00:53:06
Vesz_rak
Absolutely.
00:53:07
bladesedge
Um, all right. The, the, ah the horses, no more rules for the horses, the, uh, land vehicle, the, the wagon that you're driving, you'll start to make that next turn. Uh, but with a 14, nothing terrible happens. And what would you like to do?
00:53:21
Vesz_rak
I'd like to hold my action and wait for another Molotov to be thrown so I can fire both the Molotov.
00:53:28
bladesedge
Okay. Holding a fire bolt in your hand, ready to throw anything else?
00:53:31
Trevor
Yeah.
00:53:35
Vesz_rak
ah No, that's it. I wanna put all my concentration on being able to just drive this cart. I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:53:42
bladesedge
Cool. Since you're, since you're putting all your concentration on it next turn, I'll give you advantage.
00:53:43
gil
You boys like Mexico.
00:53:46
Kyle
Thank
00:53:47
bladesedge
And Roy does not have to help you since you were given putting most of your effort into driving this thing.
00:53:48
Vesz_rak
Okay.
00:53:49
gil
you
00:53:51
Vesz_rak
Perfect. Perfect. Just keep it on the road, baby.
00:53:54
bladesedge
All right. Valerius you're up.
00:53:55
Kyle
you.
00:53:56
Trevor
Hell yeah, question, did i ah as did you say you were gonna try and shoot the next Molotov cocktail that went up?
00:54:03
Vesz_rak
Yeah.
00:54:04
Trevor
Okay, ah let me know if this is too much stuff. I'd like to move the moonbeam for starters, and I'd wanna put it right here.
00:54:09
bladesedge
Okay.
00:54:14
bladesedge
Love that roll that damage for that. Cause I might not need to roll the save for the blights.
00:54:18
Trevor
Let's see. Oh, a 19.
00:54:23
gil
ah
00:54:23
bladesedge
Oh, boom. Both those toy blights immediately roasted.
00:54:26
Kyle
Jeez.
00:54:28
bladesedge
The druid fails the save takes 19 points of damage still up.
00:54:33
Trevor
Hell yeah. um And then I'm going to, if I can, I'd reach my hand out for a Molotov from Gil.
00:54:42
gil
Yeah, absolutely. I handed one.
00:54:43
Trevor
Grab it and then just be like, Vez, look alive and huck it over to, I think this square right there.
00:54:55
bladesedge
Cool. Uh, yeah, you in, in a cluster of twig blights, you throw a malt off the fourth one that you guys have thrown, uh, Vess rack goes shoots it with a fire bolt. No need to roll damage. You can, if you'd like as another one, two, three, four, five, six twig blights, perish vulnerable to fire damage.
00:55:14
Vesz_rak
I will roll damage, that's a two on the Firebolt.
00:55:18
bladesedge
Nice. Plus yeah. 2d6 fire 2d6 bludgeoning.
00:55:20
Vesz_rak
Every bit counts.
00:55:22
gil
Love it.
00:55:23
Kyle
Hm.
00:55:24
bladesedge
All right. These twig blades getting burned alive. All right. That seems like good. Anything else though? Anything like little bonus actions or anything? Anything else you want to do?
00:55:34
Trevor
ah No, no, I think that'll that'll do it. I am concentrating on this moonbeam
00:55:39
bladesedge
All right. Gil, you're up.
00:55:42
gil
Yeah, I see the incredible efficacy of my um improvised explosives and I'm going to take another one and I'm hucking it over to the left over here.
00:55:51
bladesedge
Okay. Um, you,
00:55:52
gil
about 60 feet in front of us or 45 feet with my tinderbox.
00:55:55
bladesedge
You, how are you going to light that bad boy?
00:55:58
gil
but Light it.
00:55:58
bladesedge
Right. Boom.
00:56:00
gil
It's lit. Huck it. Chuck it. Football.
00:56:03
bladesedge
I could check a football, another six twig lights incinerated.
00:56:12
bladesedge
Boom. Boom. In this, anything else on your turn?
00:56:17
gil
um And then I see the ah the remaining three over there.
00:56:18
bladesedge
Small talk. Hmm.
00:56:22
gil
And if I have the time, I want to take another Molotov and I want to finish him.
00:56:27
bladesedge
Cool, yeah, absolutely. So your sixth, this is your sixth Molotov. You throw that. The three on the right are destroyed.
00:56:34
gil
Yeah.
00:56:35
bladesedge
ah Massive, massive fires in the vineyard of this wine winery.
00:56:40
gil
Yeah, and I'm just howling with excitement.
00:56:43
bladesedge
I don't think we thought about the ramifications of the massive fires. And that I didn't think about it either until just now.
00:56:51
Vesz_rak
so It's gonna rain eventually, right?
00:56:52
bladesedge
But a all right.
00:56:53
Vesz_rak
I mean, it's cloudy all the time. Maybe the rain's gonna come and put it out, right?
00:56:55
Trevor
That's true.
00:56:56
gil
It's Barovia, it's pretty pretty damp.
00:56:59
bladesedge
So the last of this is the only person who can go is the Druid. um And the Druid, before he gets trampled, ah bull and his in his last dish effort, will wait until the very last minute, until you guys ah come up. And then he will thunder wave, but this putting his staff in the ground.
00:57:19
Kyle
Man...
00:57:20
Vesz_rak
This guy sucks.
00:57:21
bladesedge
He will thunder wave.
00:57:21
Kyle
This guy sucks.
00:57:22
bladesedge
So this will be a con save from the Raven, Roy Vess rack and both horses.
00:57:34
bladesedge
Uh, horse on the left fail horse on the right fail as
00:57:38
gil
Okay.
00:57:39
Kyle

00:57:40
Vesz_rak
That's rag fail.
00:57:41
bladesedge
rack fail.
00:57:43
Kyle
con save. So this is for the Raven.
00:57:46
gil
Keep the horses up.
00:57:51
Kyle
um
00:57:52
bladesedge
That's a success. I have a feeling the Raven's going to go down regardless.
00:57:54
Kyle
s And then man, I can check in a sec.
00:57:56
bladesedge
I don't know how many it has. It has four plus four times your range level. So it has 16 hit points.
00:58:05
Kyle
Yeah.
00:58:06
bladesedge
So it'll, it might be okay. Actually.
00:58:07
Kyle
So is it consave? Yeah.
00:58:09
bladesedge
Yep.
00:58:13
Kyle

00:58:13
bladesedge
Just seen as a success.
00:58:15
Kyle
For me.
00:58:16
bladesedge
Yep. This is five points of damage to both horses.
00:58:20
gil
Okay.
00:58:21
bladesedge
Uh, kind of spooking them. Boom, boom. Loud thunderclap. Five points to Vess rack.
00:58:29
Vesz_rak
I am down.
00:58:31
bladesedge
Vess rack in the seat, reigns in his hand, head lulls back.
00:58:31
Trevor
Oh, shit.
00:58:34
Kyle

00:58:48
bladesedge
Yes.
00:58:51
bladesedge
Okay.
00:58:51
Vesz_rak
Unfortunately, you can't shield Thunder Wave.
00:58:54
gil
Hm.
00:58:54
bladesedge
Uh, you guys, and then the true, it gets fucking trampled and you guys continue on. You move, you move, you move. We're moving. It's fast paced. It is, it is a high status. Um, you can redraw your, uh, moon beam. When we get to this next point at the start of the next turn, you have one more round before you guys can get out of here. You're you've moved 80 feet. You've got to reach one 20 and you see in front of you, um,
00:59:18
Kyle
you
00:59:21
bladesedge
Blocking the way.
00:59:24
bladesedge
ah
00:59:28
bladesedge
You see five more needle blights in a druid.
00:59:34
gil
Oh, fuck.
00:59:36
bladesedge
Not twig blights, vine blights. And first up, Roy, you're riding this horse. This thunderclap just happened.
00:59:46
bladesedge
Raven flies back at you, you trample a druid. You see these guys in front of you. What do you do?
00:59:51
Kyle
Well, Vesrak was driving and he's down currently, right?
00:59:54
bladesedge
Correct, huh?
00:59:56
Kyle
um
01:00:00
Kyle
Can I... attempt to... sort of hop back from the horse onto the... into the driver's seat right next to Vesrak?
01:00:13
bladesedge
You can certainly try.
01:00:16
Kyle
Well, what are we supposed to know?
01:00:17
bladesedge
Yeah, go ahead and go ahead and make me an acrobatics check.
01:00:22
Kyle
Wait, who goes after me?
01:00:22
bladesedge
jump off a moving horse going full speed back into the into the thing.
01:00:27
Kyle
This could have terrible repercussions and I feel like someone else who's already on the cart. Maybe it would be better for them to do that instead of me jumping back.
01:00:37
bladesedge
It's up to you.
01:00:39
Kyle
So I changed my mind.
01:00:39
gil
Instincts, baby.
01:00:41
Kyle
I'm not gonna do that.
01:00:43
bladesedge
All right.
01:00:44
Kyle
What I am gonna do is I'm going to Focus in use my bonus action to focus in on the um Wait, let me see if this has a range hunter's mark we're just 90 feet.
01:00:58
Trevor
Just locking in.
01:01:00
bladesedge
Yeah, you can Hunter's Mark, one of these guys, which guys you want to do?
01:01:00
Kyle
Where's the It's
01:01:03
bladesedge
The Druid or one of the needle blights?
01:01:05
Kyle
gonna be the druid Hunter's mark and i I'm I'm gonna take a shot at him with my longbow.
01:01:06
bladesedge
Okay. Druid Hunter's Mark. Boom. Tattoo, Druid, blue tattoos all over his body.
01:01:15
bladesedge
Go for it.
01:01:17
Kyle
I as a dirty 20 to hit or 11 piercing damage as max damage plus another max damage or 17 damage.
01:01:19
bladesedge

01:01:24
bladesedge
Ooh. A d6.
01:01:29
gil
Oh.
01:01:30
Trevor
Oh.
01:01:31
bladesedge
Wow, 17 damage. This guy's still up, but he is looking bad. You fucking throw this right through this guy's neck, right through his throat. As he attempts to say something, it doesn't come out. If he removes that arrow, he's going to die. He's got to leave it in.
01:01:44
gil
this something think
01:01:46
Kyle
um And right before I take the shot, I'm gonna look back and say, yo, someone hop into the driver's seat. Help Vesrak.
01:01:52
gil
yeah I'm on it.
01:01:54
bladesedge
Anything else you'd like to do? You still have time to do one more thing.
01:02:02
Kyle
um That is going to be it, I think. Unless one more thing means I could take another attack with my longbow.
01:02:08
bladesedge
Sure. Yeah. You want to get an attack? Go for it.
01:02:10
Kyle
Hell yeah.
01:02:10
bladesedge
Yeah. We can throw two molotovs. We can take two attacks. If that's what you want to spend your turn doing. Absolutely.
01:02:14
Kyle
Yeah, it's going to be a 13 to hit.
01:02:16
bladesedge
Thirteen misses through goes into the, into the dirt next to it's, um, uh, anything for your Raven.
01:02:18
Kyle
God damn it.
01:02:25
Kyle
um No, I use my bonus action to.
01:02:28
bladesedge
That's okay. You're raving. What do you want me to make an attack or give somebody the help action? What do you want?
01:02:33
Kyle
Can I hold the help action for when someone takes the reins of the wagon?
01:02:37
bladesedge
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, your raven goes over a smart, ah ethereal beast. This smoke raven goes over and when its wings unfurl, you see hiding in its wings are these tiny shadow stuff creatures that always follow you around one. yeah
01:02:57
Kyle

01:02:57
bladesedge
um And it hops out the shadow creature and grabs the reins ready to help whoever is going to try and do this.

feel like he that kind of reaches around and gives it like four feet it feeds it to me, wake back up, but we gotta get out of here, we gotta go!
01:06:30
Kyle

01:06:30
gil
Thank you.
01:06:30
Vesz_rak
These are not like spiders at all!
01:06:31
Kyle
Damn.
01:06:34
bladesedge
Um, so I want that the, um, the vehicle roll from you first, what I'm going to do here, as I said, you already had advantage and then Roy used, uh, his familiar is going to help you. So this normally isn't a thing, but because we're doing this sort of off the book, we've been done so much stuff, this campaign on the book and so much of it will be by the book, but I've loved little moments like this that are off the book. I'm going to let you roll three D twenties.
01:06:55
bladesedge
You're adding your, your decks thing.
01:06:56
Trevor
Ooh!

Vesz_rak

Vesz_rak

bladesedge
So you will have to roll again next term, but that everything is going.
01:07:35
Trevor
yeah
01:07:36
Vesz_rak
That's fine.
01:07:38
bladesedge
No bottles are flying out the back. Uh, you're avoiding bumps. You're going in between bodies so that the wheels are not getting stuck in things. You're not destroying glass in the back. Uh, you're not losing one of the horses. God forbid anything. Everything's good. And after you've done that, what would you like to do with your turn?
01:07:56
Trevor
Let's go.
01:07:57
Vesz_rak
I'm gonna fire bolt this f freaking druid I'm not gonna let him hold on to a thunder wave Actually, I'm just gonna I'm gonna send off I'm gonna send off a magic missile ah first one at the druid We I did arcane recovery during our short rest.
01:08:01
bladesedge
Okay.
01:08:01
Kyle
Yeah.
01:08:15
bladesedge
You still, how many small cells do you have left?
01:08:19
bladesedge
Oh, okay.
01:08:19
Vesz_rak
So I got all the Mac
01:08:21
bladesedge
So you have, you have four normally.
01:08:23
Vesz_rak
I have four ah first levels and two second levels.
01:08:23
gil

01:08:26
Vesz_rak
I haven't used any second levels yet.
01:08:26
bladesedge
Oh, nice. Nice.
01:08:28
Vesz_rak
Yeah, but I didn't really use any in the last one. I used Arcane Recovery to get two back.
01:08:32
bladesedge

01:08:33
Vesz_rak
For those of you who keep you track about at home.
01:08:37

01:08:39
bladesedge
Okay. Okay.
01:08:47
Vesz_rak
Three, is he up?
01:08:47
bladesedge
three damage is the health he has.
01:08:49
bladesedge
He goes down as he goes down, he leaves his staff in the dirt.
01:08:49
Vesz_rak
Yes.
01:08:49
Trevor
Let's go.
01:08:55
bladesedge
And you see that this druid has kind of, it's kind of a nice, this staff looks different than the other ones. This guy seems like, you know, he's not the head honcho, but he was maybe the manager of what was going on here as his yeah staff is out out of the ground.
01:09:07
Vesz_rak
middle management.
01:09:09
Kyle
Yeah.
01:09:09
bladesedge
Staff looks like it is magical of some sort.
01:09:11
Trevor
Assistant to the regional manager.
01:09:12
Vesz_rak
Oh, get your shadow to grab the staff.
01:09:17
gil
Ha!
01:09:18
Vesz_rak
I'll magic missile the other one that's kind of taking point right there for the second one.
01:09:22
bladesedge
Cool.
01:09:26
Vesz_rak
That'll be five damage.
01:09:28
bladesedge
Okay. He's down to six health.
01:09:29
Vesz_rak
ah And I'll do it again. I'll do the same one again, just just for me.
01:09:33
bladesedge
Cool.
01:09:35
Vesz_rak
Another two damage on top of that.
01:09:36
bladesedge
Another two damage. Uh, that guy's at four. The other ones are at full health. That's your turn. Uh, Valerius you, uh, healed Vess rack, moved the moon beam.
01:09:44
Trevor
Okay.
01:09:47
bladesedge
So we're going to move to Gil before the enemies.
01:09:50
gil
Yeah, and I was running up towards Vessarak now that I see he's okay. I'm standing up, staring directly at the remaining of the scene. I'm going to fire one of my soul knives off at the one that Vessarak has already attacked.
01:10:03
bladesedge
That's this middle guy, 19
01:10:03
gil
Oh, the middle guy, yeah. And the first one's going to come in for a hot 19 for five damage.
01:10:09
bladesedge
hits. Nice. He had four health that goes goes down.
01:10:14
Trevor
Hell yeah.
01:10:14
gil
Great. And then ah my second soul knife attack on the guy on the right,
01:10:19
bladesedge
Okay.
01:10:21
gil
which is just going to be a 13.
01:10:23
bladesedge
13 does hit though.
01:10:26
gil
For five damage.
01:10:27
bladesedge
Five damage. That guy's at six health. There's still the four of them out there, three at full health.
01:10:32
gil
And then I hear that's right saying something about the staff being magical and I like I'm going to move towards the back over here so that if we run over it, um I get a second chance to try and ah to steal it off the ground.
01:10:42
bladesedge
Mm hmm.
01:10:45
gil
I'll lean over the side to try to grab it.
01:10:46
bladesedge

01:10:50
gil
Yeah.

bladesedge
So we're just going to.
01:10:56
bladesedge
We are going to ah resolve what the enemies do, all four of these guys as they these guys aren't quite in the room, they don't get as trampled. um ah Two the two close ones are gonna save their attacks for right as you pass They're gonna claw up one at Roy one at Vess rack and the two far guys are gonna open their arms and shoot needles out one at Valerius one at Gil So um ah We're gonna go ah the Lycannons first so Gil coming at you 11 miss Valerius coming at you

01:11:44
Kyle

01:11:51
gil
Ouch.
01:12:00
Trevor
Hey.
01:12:01
bladesedge
um The other one I'll say actually just absolutely kamikazes it and stands in the middle so that when he gets trampled He leaves his hand up to sort of ah swipe at vesrak 12
01:12:11
Vesz_rak
That's messed up, ay, that's freaked up!
01:12:13
Kyle

01:12:14
bladesedge
12
01:12:15
Vesz_rak
Miss, thank God.
01:12:16
gil
12 Tommy.
01:12:17
Trevor
He getting trampled.
01:12:18
Vesz_rak
Thank Loth.
01:12:18
Kyle
did he did he die I heard them yeah
01:12:20
Vesz_rak
Miss.
01:12:20
Trevor
yeah I like that you could hear him.
01:12:21
gil
I think he, he had mage armor.
01:12:22
Trevor
That's messed up.
01:12:24
bladesedge
Tommy I don't think that hits because you had
01:12:25
Kyle
so
01:12:27
Trevor
tooy
01:12:31
gil
Does mage armor persist if you go down?
01:12:31
bladesedge
You had mage armor. I don't think so. That's a good question.
01:12:35
gil
So yeah, maybe, uh, I don't think you need to concentrate on it, do you?
01:12:36
Trevor
I think it does actually, cause it's not concentration. I think Brian, this may have been what we had.
01:12:45
bladesedge
All right. He says it's a mess.
01:12:45
Trevor
Miss.
01:12:46
Kyle
Misses.
01:12:47
bladesedge
I don't know why he's.
01:12:50
gil
He yelled and then he exploded his computer.
01:12:52
bladesedge
He yelled his computer exploded.
01:12:52
Trevor
Yeah.
01:12:56
Vesz_rak
I'm here, I'm here.
01:12:57
gil
There we go.
01:12:57
Kyle
Welcome back.
01:12:57
Trevor
Nice.
01:12:57
bladesedge
All right. You're there. It's it's a mess because of major armor.
01:13:01
Vesz_rak
Yeah, AC16.
01:13:02
bladesedge
Cause major armors not concentration.
01:13:04
Vesz_rak
It is not concentration. Let me check. No, it is not concentration.
01:13:11
bladesedge
All right. Start of the last round before you are out of here. You've gone 80 feet. This is the final 120 feet to hit the road and standing in front of you.
01:13:21
Kyle
Oh, I thought that was the last 120.
01:13:22
Trevor
I thought that was the last one too.
01:13:24
bladesedge
Nope. Not the last one standing in front of you, waiting, uh, for you to appear at the edge of the road as a Gilman.
01:13:26
Vesz_rak
Come on, Brian.
01:13:34
bladesedge
Do you grab that staff?
01:13:36
gil
Yeah.
01:13:37
bladesedge
Um, and it is a magical staff and we will resolve that after, uh, you guys see one druid and two vine blights, uh,
01:13:44
Kyle
Oh my god.
01:13:45
gil
Oh Jesus.
01:13:48
bladesedge
ready for you guys. They go last. Roy, you're up first.
01:13:53
gil
I take the rest of the Molotovs that I have and I start heading them to the front of the vehicle.
01:13:57
bladesedge
Well, Roy, Roy's up first. So Roy, it's your turn.
01:13:59
gil
Oh yeah.
01:14:01
Kyle
um
01:14:08
bladesedge
What you doing?
01:14:08
Kyle
Yeah, I think first things first is um bonus action gonna move my hunter's mark to this vine blight on the right.
01:14:19
bladesedge
Cool.
01:14:22
Kyle
And I'm going to take an attack with my longbow.
01:14:25
bladesedge
Okay, go for it.
01:14:26
Kyle
This guy.
01:14:30
Kyle
Please just give me a nat 20. That would be so fire.
01:14:33
gil
That'd be so fire.
01:14:33
Kyle
That is and not a nat 20. That is an 11.
01:14:36
bladesedge
And 11 and 11 just misses. Also keep in mind that as these things, when they attack two guys, their attacks restrained you as the vines grab onto you and you become restrained by this thing. So these things, if you're going to go back, they are going to attempt to hit two people and drag them off.
01:14:58
Trevor
Right.
01:14:59
bladesedge
So just be mindful that during your turns, you might want to figure out a way to handle that.
01:15:00
Kyle
That is scary. That is really scary.
01:15:04
gil
Yeah.
01:15:06
bladesedge
All right, Roy, your first shot misses.
01:15:06
Kyle
um
01:15:08
bladesedge
Would you like to, uh, what else would you like to do on your turn?
01:15:12
Kyle
Can I hold the dodge action?
01:15:17
bladesedge
Yeah, you can just take the Dodge action. Absolutely. Um, any, any, uh, thing for your UC you've attacked once, take the Dodge action. Anything for your Raven.
01:15:29
Kyle
Yeah, it'll he'll fly up to the guy on the right that I'm attacking and go for an attack. mean um Is my spell. Wait, sorry, give me one sec.
01:15:53
Kyle
That's 20 20 plus four natural one misses.
01:15:56
bladesedge
Natural one not meant to be ah this guy was not meant to be hit on your turn.
01:15:56
gil
damn
01:16:02
bladesedge
All right. I'm going to say, since this is the last round and you missed twice, I'm going to give you one more chance to do something. What would you like to do?
01:16:10
Kyle
um Um... I'm just gonna take another attack with my longbow.
01:16:14
bladesedge
OK, same guy.
01:16:16
Kyle
Same guy.
01:16:16
bladesedge
Go for it.
01:16:20
Kyle
Okay, 12.
01:16:20
gil
Fuck.
01:16:21
bladesedge
12 does hit that is there.
01:16:21
Kyle
Jesus Christ.
01:16:22
gil
Yes, thank God.
01:16:22
bladesedge
You see, that's the fine blades.
01:16:22
Vesz_rak
Ooh, it's almost elusive.
01:16:23
bladesedge
You see, so you do your damage and then add a D six.
01:16:23
Trevor
Nice.
01:16:25
Kyle
For 6 plus...
01:16:29
gil
Yes!
01:16:29
Kyle
6. 12 damage.
01:16:31
bladesedge
That's great.
01:16:31
Kyle
Nice.
01:16:31
Trevor
Let's.
01:16:32
bladesedge
12 damage. He's still up, but that's a significant amount of damage.
01:16:35
Kyle
Cool. And that will be my turn.
01:16:37
bladesedge
All right. Fez rack. You're up first things first. You have advantage, but now you just have the straight advantage plus, plus three for your decks to drive this thing.
01:16:47
Vesz_rak
Okay. Okay, here we go. First roll. D20 plus three.
01:16:56
Vesz_rak
Ooh, five, not gonna do it.
01:16:58
bladesedge
Okay. Okay.
01:16:58
Vesz_rak
This is why, this is why Loth gave us advantage, baby, come on.
01:17:01
bladesedge
Okay.
01:17:02
gil
Come on.
01:17:04
Vesz_rak
14.
01:17:05
bladesedge
Okay. So 14 passes. So you're fine. Uh, the 20 would be suited not to make checks anymore. So you are good. You will be able to make it out of here. Should you guys make it out? Uh, and then what would you like to do on your turn?
01:17:16
Vesz_rak
I'd like to focus the guy to the left of the cart, and I'd like to talk i'd like to cast Tasha's Mind Whip.
01:17:20
bladesedge
Hmm.
01:17:25
Vesz_rak
DC 13 Intelligence save, and I will...
01:17:28
bladesedge
Wow.
01:17:29
Vesz_rak
Oh, that's the damage.
01:17:31
bladesedge
This thing, not intelligent D 20 minus three, a dirty zero, dirty zero, baby.
01:17:35
Trevor
Oh, let's go.
01:17:35
gil
Let's go, zero.
01:17:38
Vesz_rak
or display in VTT. I physically, or psychically lash out at one creature that I see within range, 3d6 damage, take a reaction until the end of the next turn. Moreover, on his next turn, I must choose whether it gets to move, take an action, or a bonus action. It only gets one of the three.
01:17:53
bladesedge
Cool.
01:17:55
Vesz_rak
And then to add on top of that, I'm going to use my feature, um Saying Queen Blood, and I'm going to, since it's a second level spell, I am going to, do I have to reroll all the dice? So up to three damage dice, I'm gonna reroll that second one, because it was pretty low.
01:18:14
bladesedge
I didn't even see your damage. Oh, I do see it now.
01:18:16
Vesz_rak
Oh, I rolled a one in there, so I'm gonna take ah two necrotic damage, and reroll that one.
01:18:16
bladesedge
Eleven. Right.
01:18:23
bladesedge
Love it. You're getting real freaky, real freaky blood stuff going on with this guy.
01:18:25
Vesz_rak
Yeah.
01:18:25
Trevor
that's so sick d6
01:18:28
Vesz_rak
All right, I think it's just a D, what is it, a D4?
01:18:32
bladesedge
D6.
01:18:32
Vesz_rak
D6, okay, rerolling a D6, come on, baby.
01:18:33
gil
86, yeah.
01:18:33
Trevor
an
01:18:36
bladesedge
So it's 12 damage.
01:18:36
Vesz_rak
Two, okay, better than eight, better than one.
01:18:39
gil
that Whoo!
01:18:39
Trevor
eye for an eye
01:18:39
bladesedge
He failed and takes all of it.
01:18:42
Vesz_rak
Okay, that's but and um that's my turn.
01:18:45
bladesedge
Cool. Um, I'll say, since the reaction thing doesn't really play in here, I'll say that it makes it so that he can't use his entangling plants ability. So, which he was going to use to restrain multiple people. So he can only make a constrict attack.
01:18:59
Vesz_rak
Okay.
01:19:00
bladesedge
So he's only going to be able to target one person.
01:19:02
Vesz_rak
And I have four HP left, I subtracted two, I was at six, now I'm at four. And I have one spell slot left.
01:19:07
bladesedge
Okay. Um, anything else you want to do?
01:19:07
Trevor
God.
01:19:10
Vesz_rak
um Just focusing on getting the horses home.
01:19:12
bladesedge
Okay. Cool. Um, all right. Valerius, you Gilman and then it's their turns.
01:19:17
Trevor
Oh.
01:19:19
Trevor
ah This guy just took 12, right?
01:19:21
bladesedge
Hmm.
01:19:23
Trevor
This guy, how Roy, how much did you do to this guy?
01:19:24
bladesedge
12.
01:19:25
Trevor
It was also 12.
01:19:25
bladesedge
They both, they both taking 12.
01:19:26
Kyle
Love.
01:19:26
Trevor
OK, cool. ah Then I am going to just move my moonbeam over to this one right here, the one on the right.
01:19:31
bladesedge
Okay. All right. Um, he is going to succeed and take half damage. All right. He takes five. He's still up.
01:19:45
Trevor
them. And then I'm going to take a ah reach my hand back for a Molotov and huck it at the same guy right there.
01:19:54
bladesedge
Okay. All right. You throw it and hook it at the same guy. I will make a deck save for him. He has a minus one on decks. This guy. So he fails.
01:20:08
gil
Nice.
01:20:08

01:25:27
bladesedge
Okay. The horses so slow down from a straight gallop as you leave here, as they're both hurting. Vesrak at one, Roy at one. Gilman and Valerius in the back, you look behind you and you see the field of the winery ablaze.
01:25:56
bladesedge
as you go, you swear you swear you see ravens making their way towards the winery. A natural amount of ravens flying over the trees and towards the winery.
01:26:11
bladesedge
And you make your way back to Kresk. You see the guards who notice you atop the and gate outside as they see you coming with a whole truckload of um wine, they open the gates to Kresk.

Oh, I could use a warm bed.
01:26:42

01:27:48
bladesedge
Oh, okay. Oh, geez.

01:27:58
bladesedge
Oh, why, why is that?
01:28:01
gil
The Druids kind of ah overrun the place, started it on fire. It was a whole scene. We were able to get away with this, but that's about all we were able to do.
01:28:12
bladesedge
Nice. Make a DC 10 deception check.
01:28:15
gil
Yeah.
01:28:20

01:29:02
Kyle
Please.
01:29:02
gil
That'd be very nice. And a bath.
01:29:06
bladesedge
You guys look around and you see this mist shrouded village beyond the walls that you entered is is nothing more than a scattering of humble wooden cottages along dirt roads. A stretch between strands of snow dusted pine trees. So many trees, in fact. as to constitute a forest until the northeast gray cliffs rise sharply and the road winding up to the abbey is easy to see you see up here um as he notices you guys looking he says oh the abbey of saint markovia um i attempted to
01:29:46
gil
The Abbey, huh? For religious folk?
01:29:48
Vesz_rak
Abby of Saint Markovia.
01:29:50
bladesedge
Tempted to do how do. How do I undo something? Shift command Z.
01:29:53
gil
Shift Z, Command Z, yeah.
01:29:55
Kyle
Control Z, probably.

01:30:04
Vesz_rak
Oh, to reveal stuff.

bladesedge
No, to undo something I just did.
01:30:08

bladesedge
OK, it's not doing it. Never mind.
01:30:12
Vesz_rak
Oh.
01:30:13
bladesedge
So he looks up there as he's sort of walking you guys and the horses over to his house. Um, his house being the, as you walk into the town, um, you see these single story pine cottages with stone chimneys and thatch roofs, pigs and chickens, uh, in pens and coops, um, mostly indoor so that they don't freeze.
01:30:24
gil
you
01:30:39
bladesedge
It's really cold here. Um, the burger master's cottage is the closest to the outer gate. and the largest of these in town. So it's this one right here. I'm pinging. If you're looking in Kresk on the map.
01:30:54
gil
Okay.
01:30:56
bladesedge
It's right there. um You see that as he he stops outside and says, so thank you for the wine. I will go distribute it. Actually, um why don't it might be nice if if you if you get some flowers for your what you've done here today. And i'll I'll take the bottles and bring it over to the inn, but I'll let you all bring the casks to the Abbey tomorrow when you're rested so that you can get your ah proper flowers for doing such a service to this town.
01:31:35
gil

gil
Yeah. About the previous burger master.
01:32:13
bladesedge

bladesedge
Um, just ah yes. And we can even, uh, you rest up here, spend some days, get to know the people and, and meet some individuals that really want to meet you all. And, uh, we'd be very happy to give their thanks. And then, uh, we can help you all get to, if you'd like to find Kolyan and Delavitch, we can help get you to Barovia.
01:32:44
Vesz_rak
Yeah, that'd be great. I mean, we're not really from around here.
01:32:45
gil
Sure.
01:32:47
Vesz_rak
We'd have a point in the right direction.
01:32:50
bladesedge
Nice. He brings in a couple. um Well, he stops at the door and says, um I will lead you to your your rooms. I have two spare rooms each with two beds. yeah So you have to bunk up if that's OK.
01:33:03
gil
Sure.
01:33:04
Vesz_rak
That's fun.
01:33:05
Kyle

gil
Fine by me.
01:33:06
bladesedge
Um, my, my son Ilya is, is very sick. Um, he's, he's 14 and my wife is currently taking care of him. So, uh, we'll leave them alone for now. Maybe you can meet them tomorrow or something. Um, I'll bring a couple of wine bottles, uh, maybe two into my wine cellar. And if any of you would like a glass, I can pour you a glass before you, uh, go away for the night. How does that
Exploring Kresk and Its Secrets
01:33:33
bladesedge
sound?
01:33:34
gil
Yeah, I like that.
01:33:35
Vesz_rak
Sounds great.
01:33:35
Kyle
and would love that
01:33:37
bladesedge
Why don't you guys make perception checks?
01:33:45
gil
Hey gills, too tired.
01:33:46
Kyle
I
01:33:49
Trevor
Got a little 22 from Valerius.
01:33:50
Vesz_rak
18 from Visorak.
01:33:53
bladesedge
ah So, yeah, Gil's Gil's too tired. It's been a long and possibly long day. This day started. You were level one in Daggerford.
01:33:53
Kyle
would
01:34:00
Kyle
love that.
01:34:04
bladesedge
Uh, yeah, bordering on, if you kept going, you're talking about exhaustion stuff, you guys would be hitting exhaustion levels. But, um, you see in their backyard as he leaves you in, it's a modest place. He leads you guys into two different rooms. Um, you guys see through the windows to their backyard that there are three, uh, tombstones in their backyard. There are three graves. Uh, each one looks like it has a child's name on it.
01:34:32
gil
Brutal.
01:34:33
bladesedge
Um, you get, get the sense that they've lost three kids and the fourth one is sick.
01:34:33
Kyle
Mm.
01:34:34
gil
Full graves in this house now.
01:34:40
bladesedge
Um, maybe the 200 foot square, uh, a cottage, not big. Um, you, um,
01:34:53
bladesedge
You see, you see that there's a sign further down the road that says um curfew at night, stay inside the walls where a wolf attacks.
01:35:07
bladesedge
um
01:35:07
gil
Wow.
01:35:09
bladesedge
You look, you know, look through the maybe there's, you know, like the how there's a Bible in the nightstand of a hotel. in your guy's rooms, which by the way, who's bunking with who?
01:35:27
gil
I would just go into the first room I saw.
01:35:27
Kyle
Um.
01:35:30
bladesedge
All right, who's bunking with the dog killer?
01:35:31
Kyle
All. All bunk with Gilment.
01:35:35
bladesedge
Okay, he's making amends. I love that.
01:35:37
Vesz_rak
Oh, and Valerius and I will bunk in the second room.
01:35:41
bladesedge
Cool. You guys, as you you plop down in beds, you see that there's like, like there's a Bible on the nightstands of these places. There is a Bible. of something here, but it is a religious text about the morning Lord. Why don't you guys each give me a religion check?
01:36:02
gil
Sure.
01:36:08
Kyle
18.
01:36:08
gil
Six.
01:36:09
Vesz_rak
Nat 20 baby, let's go.
01:36:09
gil
who Yeah.
01:36:10
Kyle
Oof.
01:36:10
bladesedge
i
01:36:10
Vesz_rak
I'm rolling hot today, what can I say?
01:36:10
Trevor
Oh.
01:36:12
Kyle
Damn.
01:36:12
Vesz_rak
Except for those horses, I'm hot.
01:36:13
bladesedge
Gil is Gil's tired of the six Gil Gil.
01:36:16
Trevor
He's already asleep.
01:36:17
bladesedge
Maybe you maybe you fall asleep.
01:36:18
gil
Yep.
01:36:19
bladesedge
Maybe you just at this point just start your long rest.
01:36:20
Trevor
yeah
01:36:23
bladesedge
ah The rest of you see this. You know that the morning lord is Lathander. Lathander is a ah greater a greater god. It's symbolized by the rising sun. um He's not the god of the sun. He's the god of the dawn. um ah which represents you know the potential of a new day with God of hope, beginnings. You get the sense you're going to see a lot of Lathander stuff in Barovia as the people who need hope ah look to this God for guidance. ah You get the sense that the abbey up above, which is called the abbey of St. Markovia, as you maybe flip through the first couple of pages, or you recall, Vesrak,
01:37:08
bladesedge
there was a priest of the morning Lord um who famously who famously took the stand. It's this it's a famous story, if you've if you're into religion, Vesrak, of a famous priest of the morning Lord who took a stand against a vampire in a far off land. And his name was Saint Markovia. And the abbey here is called the abbey of Saint Markovia.
01:37:35
Vesz_rak
Interesting.
01:37:37
Kyle
Hmmm.
01:37:38
Vesz_rak
Are you telling me these two might be related?
01:37:41
bladesedge
um potentially, yeah, something that, yeah, maybe people that you will ah meet tomorrow.
01:37:43
gil
Can you tell me a shrimp fried this rice?
01:37:51
bladesedge
um As you guys start to fall asleep, you hear the bell ringing, bing, bing, bing, at the Abbey. It seems like a weird time for the bell to be ringing. You hear at night, Bing, bing, bing, obviously a wrong time. Maybe it wakes up. ah Who's got the highest passive perception? I believe it might be Gilment.
01:38:20
gil
It's me with a 15.
01:38:23
Kyle
I have 16.
01:38:24
gil
Ah, fuck.
01:38:24
Vesz_rak
F14.
01:38:25
gil
Well, we're both in the same bedroom.
01:38:26
bladesedge
All right, Roy.
01:38:27
Kyle
Ah, true.
01:38:27
bladesedge
So, Roy, you wake up in the middle of the night when this bell rings, knowing that it's an odd time for the bell to be ringing up at the Abbey.
01:38:32
Kyle
Mhm.
01:38:35
bladesedge
And you hear baleful screams and like horrible, inhuman laughter throughout the village somewhere in here. Look out your window. Nobody seems to be reacting. You don't see anybody on the streets.
01:38:52
Trevor
I'm picturing the Scooby Doo laugh, which is so weird.
01:38:54
gil
Um, I, uh, I would open one eye and look at Roy looking out the window and I'd be like, not all, not all problems are ours.
01:39:05
Kyle
Yeah, you might be right. Especially now.
01:39:07
gil
And I close my eye and go back to sleep.
01:39:12
Kyle
I don't see anyone on the streets.
01:39:16
bladesedge
No.
01:39:19
Kyle
Okay.
01:39:19
bladesedge
You make you want to make a perception check for me.
01:39:22
Kyle
Sure.
01:39:23
bladesedge
Sure. or
01:39:26
Kyle
It'd be a 25.
01:39:28
gil
Oh shit.
01:39:30
bladesedge
The the sounds are coming further up towards the Abbey.
01:39:39
bladesedge
And the. um I mean, the belt, the bell that's ringing at weird times is up at the Abbey.
01:39:48
Kyle
What kind of screens did you say they were?
01:39:51
bladesedge
Bailful screams and you hear inhuman laughter. Bailful means menacing, harmful.
01:39:57
Kyle
ah
01:40:07
Kyle
Okay, yeah, i'll I'll take note of that and I'll let everyone know in the in the morning once we're all rested up.
01:40:07
bladesedge
OK.
01:40:15
Vesz_rak
I imagine Valyrias
Intriguing Encounters and Insights
01:40:16
Vesz_rak
and Bezreker, we don't hear any of this because our passive perceptions are not that high. and We're just playing Uno in our room.
01:40:22
Trevor
Yeah.
01:40:23
gil
Ahh!
01:40:24
bladesedge
Yeah, you guys are. I mean, you guys are probably asleep, you know.
01:40:27
Trevor
True.
01:40:28
Vesz_rak
Yeah, we're playing Uno. That's what I'm saying.
01:40:29
Trevor
We're playing, you know.
01:40:29
Vesz_rak
We're staying up late.
01:40:31
Trevor
Yeah.
01:40:32
bladesedge
um In the morning, you wake up and you hear that there are two people. um You hear Dimitri talking to a woman in the kitchen, the clinking of teacups, and you all smell food.
01:40:55
gil
Yeah, I'd wake up.
01:40:57
Kyle
Then.
01:41:00
gil
I'd go join him for breakfast. I would never turn down a free meal.
01:41:08
bladesedge
Okay.
01:41:08
Kyle
The first thing, first thing I would do is, uh, wake up and I would unwrap my, uh, my, my pants where I got cut and just sort of assess the damage and, uh, take one of those cloths that, um, Valerius gave me and wrap my leg.
01:41:13
bladesedge
Yeah.
01:41:26
Kyle
Even though I know he took a long rest, but I'll just wrap my leg and heal that cut.
01:41:30
bladesedge
yeah
01:41:30
Vesz_rak
ah Hey, Brian, the barrels that we brought back ah before they get distributed out to the city, can I carve like a spider symbol and all five of the barrels?
01:41:43
bladesedge
Yeah. If you wanted to make that a priority, you could wake up early and do that. Why don't you give me a stealth check?
01:41:47
Vesz_rak
Deal. Stealth check. Here we come. Plus five. The 14.
01:41:55
bladesedge
Okay. Yeah. With a 14, you were able to get up in the middle of the night and go do that. I'd say Roy, when you woke up and heard the bell and made your perception check, the only thing that you heard was maybe the door of the other room closing.
01:42:05
Kyle
Mmhmm. Gotcha.
01:42:11
Vesz_rak
And then on a one thing, ah well one last thing I'd like to do, Brian, uh, before I forget is in the five wine bottles that I have, I would like to, what, what, what was the symbol on the Bible in the room?
01:42:11
gil
Um.
01:42:20
bladesedge
Mm hmm. It was the morning Lord's. It was the um like a rising sun.
01:42:29
Vesz_rak
I would like to carve that symbol into the five wine bottles that I have in my possession.
01:42:35
bladesedge
Nice.
01:42:38
bladesedge
Yeah.
01:42:40
Kyle
And we're marking off a long grass, correct?

bladesedge
Yes, you all you're all long rested.

bladesedge
Feel free to click that long rest button finally.
01:42:43
Kyle

01:42:45
gil
Um, yeah, shit. And then as I am waking up and getting ready, um, Roy, I don't know if you're, um, I think I got up, I'm an early early riser.

Um, but you, yeah, you might have seen me changing my shirt to a, to a clean tunic.
01:42:56

bladesedge
Um, and why don't we go ahead and everybody roll me a D five.

01:49:24
bladesedge
She says she begins, uh, shuffling the cards. She removes 14 of the cards and says, this is the high deck and places 14 cards on the left, which is the high deck and shuffles them. She shuffles the remaining cards and puts them to the right and says, this is the common deck.
01:49:51
bladesedge
We'll draw the top three cards from the common deck and lay them in the one, two, and three positions. Uh, Gil, go ahead and roll. Um, or Gil, do you want two or you want four?
01:50:06
gil
Four.

01:50:23
Vesz_rak
Yeah, I say you do it, yeah.
01:50:24
bladesedge
All right. So I will take card number two.
01:50:29
bladesedge
All right. So she has, uh, 14 cards, the high deck to the left, the remaining cards, the common deck to the right, the decks are separate. She says, we're going to draw the top three cards from the common deck and lay them face down in the one, two, and three positions. And then we'll draw the top two cards from the high deck and lay them down in the four and five positions. Now, would you guys like to shuffle the deck so that, you know, that I have not done anything to them.
01:50:58
gil
Yeah, I'll use my slight of hand.
01:51:01
bladesedge
Okay. Slide of hands. Uh, you, you shuffle one of the decks, uh, with a 12 pretty easily. Not the first time you've shuffled the deck of cards.
01:51:13
Vesz_rak
I'll use my, uh, I'll use my arcana.
01:51:20
bladesedge
Uh, what are you, how are you going to shuffle a deck of cards with your mind?
01:51:24
Vesz_rak
but With my mind.
01:51:26
bladesedge
Oh, you're trying to, you'd like to telepathic shit.
01:51:29
Vesz_rak
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:51:30
bladesedge
Yeah. Not 20. A narcotic check for me.
01:51:31
Vesz_rak
Deal, deal, deal, deal.
01:51:36
Vesz_rak
Dirty 20, Brian?
01:51:36
Kyle
Oh my god.
01:51:36
gil
Oh my god.
01:51:36
Trevor
yeah
01:51:37
Vesz_rak
Brian, dirty 20.
01:51:38
bladesedge
You it's like Thor's hammer when captain America tries to pick it up. Like the top card on one of the deck just slightly moves.
01:51:44
Vesz_rak
Soon, soon.
01:51:44
bladesedge
But yeah.
01:51:46
Trevor
I like picturing when Gil shuffled he like reached a hand over and then his like shadow mage hand like came up and was the other hand while he was shuffling.
01:51:55
gil
ah Yeah, just like the arc.
01:51:56
bladesedge
Uh, that's cool.
01:51:56
Vesz_rak
Yeah.
01:51:58
gil
I like that.
01:52:00
bladesedge
Um, okay. So, um, up first, which you're going to roll for it as she begins to flip these cards over up first with a one is Vess rack. So Vess rack card number one is from the common deck.
01:52:24
Vesz_rak
Okay.
01:52:25
bladesedge
So. for the common deck, um, you will first roll first. I need you to roll me a, um, okay.
01:52:41
Kyle
you
01:52:49
bladesedge
So that's high deck. That's high deck. Okay. So you're going to first, you're going to roll me.
01:52:56
bladesedge
Whether this card is going to be spades, clubs, diamonds, or hearts.
01:53:02
bladesedge
So roll me a D four. It's going to go in that order.
01:53:02
Vesz_rak
Okay, so...
01:53:06
Vesz_rak
Spades.
01:53:08
bladesedge
Okay. And then you're going to roll me a one D 10.
01:53:19
Vesz_rak
Oh, one.
01:53:20
Kyle
right Wait.
01:53:21
bladesedge
but the You roll the, you roll the D one D 10.
01:53:22
Vesz_rak
What the heck? Yeah.
01:53:23
Kyle
Wait, no, hold on.
01:53:24
Vesz_rak
Oh, oh, my bad, my bad.
01:53:24
bladesedge
Yeah. Okay.
01:53:26
Vesz_rak
I was like, wait a second.
01:53:28
gil
Dude, you almost broke space time.
01:53:29
Vesz_rak
I'm sorry. A 10, all right.
01:53:32
bladesedge
Uh, she flips the card over and it is the master of swords as she flips it over.
01:53:33
Kyle
Wow.
01:53:46
bladesedge
And she sort of oh gives a little gasp.
01:53:52
bladesedge
She says, this is the master of swords, also known as the warrior.
01:54:03
bladesedge
This card, the swords represents aggression, violence. It's swords are the suit of warriors, be they paladins, soldiers, mercenaries, or gladiators. It also symbolizes the power of governments and leaders, whether noble or corrupt and the master of swords. represents strength and force personified. Violence. Those who use force to accomplish their goals. There will be something.
01:54:51
bladesedge
um
01:54:55
bladesedge
There will be something.
01:54:59
bladesedge
This card that we've picked, the master of swords, this card tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient will help you better understand your enemy in this land. She sets it down. She goes, all of you. And she says, do you guys have an adventure in group name yet or no?
01:55:23
Kyle
The Lords of Lions.
01:55:28
Vesz_rak
The wine guys, I don't know.
01:55:29
gil
Go on, guys. um No, I don't think we have a group name yet. there's We haven't had like a. We haven't had like a moment, you know.
01:55:41
Kyle
Yeah.
01:55:42
bladesedge
She goes, okay, well, wine guys, Lords of lions, wherever you are. This first card that you've picked tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient will help you better understand your enemy in this land while you're in Barovia, you will need it. And that which you seek lies in the womb of darkness, the devil's lair. The one place to which he must return.
01:56:19
gil
My goodness.
01:56:21
Kyle
Hm.
01:56:22
gil
The womb of darkness. I feel like that's where I was born.
01:56:26
bladesedge
So she's, she's letting you know, she's letting you know that there's something in Barovia that can help you.
01:56:26
Vesz_rak
I kind of ah look at her and I look at her. It's what I'm looking for or what we're looking for.
01:56:41
bladesedge
Um, the you in the second part refers to the you in the first part, the knowledge of the ancient will help you better understand your enemy. That knowledge, if you, if you seek that knowledge, it is in the womb of darkness in the devil's lair, the one place to which he must return.
01:56:59
gil
Wowie.
01:57:02
bladesedge
So something that could potentially really help you out while you're in Barovia is in the womb of darkness, the devil's lair, the one place to which he must return.
01:57:13
gil
Wicked.
01:57:16
bladesedge
She goes, whoa, spooky.
01:57:19
gil
Dang. Spooky.
01:57:23
bladesedge
Um, next I will roll a D four.
01:57:30
bladesedge
I roll a one, which is spades still.
01:57:32
Vesz_rak
A lot of ones.
01:57:36
bladesedge
And I'll roll a D nine because the 10 was already taken for spades.
01:57:39
Kyle
D9? Oh, okay, gotcha.
01:57:44
bladesedge
So she says, swords, once again, symbolizing aggression and violence, the suit of warriors, paladin, soldiers, mercenaries, gladiators, also the symbol of governments and leaders, whether noble or corrupt. This card, she holds it up. Six of spades. This card tells of a powerful force for good and protection. A holy symbol of great hope.
01:58:17
bladesedge
And she looks at the card and says, six of swords, the Berserker. Find the mad dog's crypt. The treasure lies within beneath blackened bones.
01:58:35
gil
Whoa, the mad dog's crypt, that sounds cool.
01:58:38
bladesedge
as she's been saying these and reading this, you see that not only are her eyes starting to glow blue and brighter, but the sword great sword on her back seems to be wreathed in this ghostly blue flame. The more she goes through the cards, the brighter the eyes getting you see that at this moment, you're all a half inch off your seats. You're all levitating in this room ever so slightly as these cards are turning.
01:59:15
bladesedge
um All right, so something else, some other ah treasure, for lack of a better word that um can help you.
01:59:16
gil
Fucking A.
01:59:26
gil
I'm levitating to my seat right now.
01:59:28
bladesedge
um
01:59:30
bladesedge
OK, so you've you've got two potential locations for things that could help you when she gets to the third card. Um, three is Valerius.
01:59:48
Trevor
Yes sir, you need a D4?
01:59:49
bladesedge
Valerius. Why don't you roll me a D four?
01:59:51
Trevor
Got you. Got a 4.
01:59:54
bladesedge
Nice. A four is hearts, which is glyphs.
01:59:58
Trevor
Oh yeah.
01:59:59
bladesedge
So spades is swords. Uh, hearts is glyphs.
02:00:04
Trevor
Tie it.
02:00:05
bladesedge
And so Romeo D 10, Sam,
02:00:05
Trevor
Tie it.
02:00:09
Trevor
See you, Adam.
02:00:12
bladesedge
she picks up the card and says, before she even flips it over, eyes glowing blue flips the card and says, this is a card of power and strength. It tells of a weapon of vengeance, a sword of pure sunlight.
02:00:39
bladesedge
um She flips the card around.
02:00:46
bladesedge
And she goes, the seven of glyphs, the charlatan. I see a lonely mill on a precipice. The treasure lies within.
02:01:05
gil
Hell yeah.
02:01:10
bladesedge
um And so the first one was the master of swords. the warrior, the seconds, the six of swords, the berserker,
02:01:27
Vesz_rak
A lot of sword iconography going on.
02:01:30
bladesedge
ah the third, the seven of glyphs, the charlatan.
02:01:41
bladesedge
She says these these things these things will help you in this land as her eyes grow blue and brighter and brighter. And before she goes to flip over card four, I don't need a d4 roll because her hand goes from the common deck to the high deck.
02:02:08
bladesedge
And these last two rolls will be made with the high deck.
02:02:11
gil
Oh goodness.
02:02:13
bladesedge
And this is a, a D one, two, three, four, five, six, uh, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, a D 14 from you Gil.
02:02:30
gil
D13 coming at you.
02:02:31
bladesedge
D 14.
02:02:32
gil
Oh, D14.
02:02:33
Kyle
14.
02:02:38
bladesedge
ah one As she goes to turn this card over, she says, this card will shed light on one who will help you greatly in the battle against darkness, an ally.
02:02:38

She goes, this ally, she gives a knowing smirk, says you'll have to meet him on your own, but it's a good man. Look for an entertaining man with a monkey.
