00:02:51
Speaker
My name is actually Mark and I am the DM for this campaign, which is the Fellowship of the Tabletop. Thank you for joining us. We are currently fighting a undead dragon bitches. And I mean, people are dying. No one's got much health. Everyone's are scared. I've got loads of health.
00:03:08
Speaker
the trees are quivering the ground is calling out i don't know what else is happening the river sludges on yet life may cease let's see how we're getting on in this week's episode of the fellowship of the tabletop that we were around to go down and you know you went down a fucking
Dragon's Flight and Banish Attempt
00:03:27
Speaker
Fireball of energy there. That was what bloody good that it's not the dragon's turn next Yeah, that'd be that would be does he need to make a death saving for at the end? Isn't it? He said no, it's not this time. It's it whenever Thank you. I saw fucking out. Well, the elf era is showing me. Yeah Sorry, I took that back in my pants. Yeah Okay, um the creature is going to
00:04:02
Speaker
Go airborne. It's going to start flying. Claude, you will get an attack of opportunity as you're currently in range. Because of Warcaster, I can cast a spell instead. I'll cast Banish, please, Mark. Charisma save, please. 22.
00:04:26
Speaker
I rolled off. I'm going to try and spend some luck on that. Oh, your spell fails. My spell fails, sorry. Okay, I'm going to attempt to bend some luck on it and try and reduce your save. Roll a d4. Just remember that you got that folly. No, I've known, but everything else has just been for like attacks and trying to save it with something big.
00:04:50
Speaker
Still not going to be enough. I got a three. You could have rolled a four, mate. My DC is 18. If you rolled a seven on your D4, that would have helped.
00:05:02
Speaker
There's so much sass from our DM tonight. There is. Isn't there? Why couldn't you use that when I was... I couldn't use that when I was trying to polymorph it. I've had too much coffee if I'm being honest. Because he had a really high role for your polymorph. And then... Don't you have to use... Oh yeah, yeah. No, I don't have to use that. It's chaos. Let's crack on. Right. Let's crack on. It fails. I didn't even have to use my legendary resistance.
00:05:22
Speaker
My hood's up now. It's Sirius DM time. Here we go. He's gone into Sith mode. Always two there are. There are. Right. Thank you, though. We're gonna fly. Flap, flap, flap. Flap, flap, flap. Flap your booty. You know it, baby. I'm gonna flap my way. Yeah, I can get you all. Except Robin.
00:05:47
Speaker
Oh, luckily, because that would have been a death save. So that's an automatic fail. Yeah, that would have been a death save. He's going to fire down the diagonal line directly through Helen. And if you follow that all the way through... Oh, well, fuck, I got the angle wrong. Okay, no, it doesn't get cast down. I'm sure he's got some movement left. No, as in I can't get it so that I need to get down that line. Yeah, that's the line. Thanks, Will. Yeah, that's the line I want.
00:06:11
Speaker
It's five foot wide. I'm guessing that's you that's helping me there, Will, by the way. You're the only person who would.
Dragon's Fire and Lightning Attack
00:06:15
Speaker
And that's the line I'm going for, directly through. Fuck you, Will. I'll give teachers a pair. I'll get inspiration. I'd like you to go, helping the DM. He's in a fucking hole. He's safe. He's fucking arse. I've got a dragon taragophie. I probably can't see you. Maybe I've hidden from it. I rolled my recharge, and I got a five. I'm sorry. You know what's coming. Kid, Helena, Drago, and Claude, please.
00:06:41
Speaker
Roll. Claude, don't forget you've got an inspiration from me. A dexterity saving throw. Come on, Akiva, be with me. This is it. This is a good one. Okay, okay, Akiva's with me. 21. That's half damage, right? Come on. Okay. Come on. D10, Will. Yeah, it's a D10, mate. Oh, thank God, Danny. Get that 10. Get that 10.
00:07:12
Speaker
Who has he got the 10?! 17. Okay, thank you. Uh, Helena? I'll be the same. Saranora. Uh, 8. Okay. I'm gonna throw up. Let me roll. Don't. The damage. Oh fuck. I can't deal with this. It's like, if I could, my nipples would be lactating right now. I'm worried about Helena. I'm worried about Claude. I'm worried about Folly.
00:07:45
Speaker
No one knows where Karstan's been all this time. Hello. Who's worried about Robin? Robin's actually down. I'm worried, but I've got a plan. What's the damage? Claude, what did you get? 17. Okay. And Helena, you got eight. Yeah. Claude and Helena, you both take 77 points of lightning damage. I rolled five nines, three tens, a one, a seven,
00:08:14
Speaker
I'm not far off max damage with that. That's 20 points more than my previous roll with that. Had you rolled three points more damage, I'd have died outright. And you would you? Yeah. It would take your health to zero and then... Oh, no, no, it would have hit my maximum. No, that's fine. Which is 80. So I'm absolutely maxed out. I went 30 beyond max. Yeah.
00:08:40
Speaker
It's all right. You've got a long way to go to 104 though, so it's fine. We're both down. We're both down. We're both down. Did you say 77? So which means that Draghi, you take half that damage. Oh god, okay.
00:08:59
Speaker
I'm literally like, I'm only like, he's only like five foot off the ground. He didn't go high. He was like skimming low, skunk, spun around that corner, fired it out. He's a smart little cookie, but he's literally like just five feet off the ground. So if you ran up to it, marshally, and you can, you could strike it and hit.
00:09:21
Speaker
Good luck. Right, that's the end of the dragon's turn. Helena, it's your turn. Could you please make your first death?
Survival and Healing During Battle
00:09:26
Speaker
No, you don't. No, she's stable. She doesn't do anything. Stable Mabel. Are you on one or are you just unconscious? No, I'm on zero. I went like 30 max, like beyond. I just wanted to give a little bit of flavor before I went down. Yeah, absolutely. And after my last
00:09:42
Speaker
you know, shot my like ninth shot at this fucking huge bastard. Hands shaking like a twat and just not feeling, you know, well, fucking feeling weak as a kitten. Helen has been missing shots left, right and center. She's dropped her bow and arrow, well, not on the floor, but just to her side. And she ran or dashed behind this mound.
00:10:07
Speaker
to try and hide from this thing. She wasn't even looking at the dragon with all of the hits that it was taking from the other players and the other characters.
00:10:18
Speaker
She was actually doing a little bit of a pep talk to herself, trying to kick herself up the arse, ready to give it some on the next shot. So she was just sort of, in fact, she'd sort of taken off her helmet. She's wiping the sweat off her face, ready to put her helmet back on, giving herself a right good talking to until she sees this dragon soar up into the air, swoop down in front of her, turn around and face her, and then blast her with
00:10:59
Speaker
as the damage that would inflict more pain upon you starts to take its course you see and feel this kind of buzzing as you start to pass out and this energy push back a black dart energy start to push back against the lightning as the buzzing in your ears increases then subsides as you lose consciousness spare the dying has saved you from the worst of the damage you don't have to make a death saving throw as you have spare the dying upon you but you are you're down you're down you're down
00:11:11
Speaker
with the energy that it had before the lights went out.
00:11:30
Speaker
If someone gives you any kind of healing, boom, you wake up, you could stand up and fight again. But until then, you're kind of incapacitated. And if the dragon then attacks again and I'm in the firing line, then again... You take the damage. And then you'd start making death saves. Yeah, okay, that's fine, that's good, thank you. It's like you're flittering on the edge of being critical, but you're not quite critical. The spell has saved you from Spare the Dying.
00:11:54
Speaker
Drago, it's your turn. You've just had yet another one of these waves of attack against you, and the rage is still coursing through your body. Have you, mate? Yeah, you managed to attack it, so you get the rage to just continue. And you hear Claude slump down against this four cage that's formed behind you. You see Robin fall to the ground, and you see Helena fall to the ground. Three of your comrades nearest to you are down. What do you want to do? Please fucking kill it.
00:12:23
Speaker
Drago is just almost like that. So many things are running through his head right now. It does take a moment to look at Gelgrove. How damaged is he from a glance? Do I know? Give me a perception check. Is that going to take an action or anything like that? Yes, it would be a bonus action. I'll give you it as a bonus action. Okay. No, I'm not going to do it then. I'm going to... Shit. I don't know what to do then.
00:12:53
Speaker
Okay, I'm going to... I did good damage with Dengon's deception. You have people dying. I know, I know, I know, but I don't know if I could kill it. Like, that's the thing. I've got a vantage on it right now. I'm going to take...
00:13:20
Speaker
a step towards Claude and uh who's just to the just to the right of me five foot away and uh get down on one knee and put a hand out and touch Claude and you're going to get five points of healing from lay on hands. Okay Claude is therefore con
00:13:41
Speaker
Hmm. Conscious? No. Does that work? Or do you just get a five off? Yeah, straight up. Negative. Yeah. Yeah. He's done. He's up. Five in. He's up. He's up. He's got five in. He's next initiative. Good try.
00:13:53
Speaker
That takes an action, so I have a bonus action left. And you've got your movement. You've moved five feet, but you've got... After... So sorry, this has really got to me. After taking that moment to lay on hands for Claude, Drago's gonna go, do all you can. Helena's down and so is Robin. I'm gonna move to Robin. And he's going to then...
00:14:17
Speaker
but do what he can to cover Robin's body because there's nothing you can do this round but he's going to set himself in the best way he knows between Gelgrove and Robin and he's going to take Dengon's deception and have the flat of the blade held out in front of him
00:14:35
Speaker
So he's got the flat of the beryllade facing Gelgoth, this dark kind of vibramium-esque metal dog deep in the ground, and he's just kind of hunched behind it, trying to protect Robin. And that's the end of my go. Awesome. What a lovely round there, Draggo. Thank you very much for that, and great stuff. Oh, bonus action! I've got a bonus action. I'm taking the bear that Claude gave me fucking ages ago, and... Would it work if I just jam it in his face? Give me a yes or no, like...
00:15:05
Speaker
Well, me? I can't really remember what this bear does. I mean, if it's life, Robin has to use it, doesn't he? I said the trigger to activate it is to just have someone cuddle it and a spell happens. I'm going to jam on his face, wrap his arms around it. Okay, that's a level three cure wound is stored in the bear, so I can...
00:15:29
Speaker
Yes! Oh, the fucking bear! Oh, the bear! So, that means, Robin receives... 18 points of healing. He's up. Oh my god. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
00:15:55
Speaker
unsure about if that would work. He's jammed the bear down in Robin's face, but everything else is still true. The Dangon's perception is held the flat of the edge towards Gail Groff and Drago's just kind of getting ready to try and defend his best. I like to think that, Drago, you've held up
00:16:10
Speaker
the sword and kind of you push the bear into the chest, but I think you've got more faith in your sword than you do the bear actually working at this point. So you're almost looking away as you feel the vibrations from you holding the bear in your hand. And just at the very last second of your turn, you turn your head back to look to almost like away, like almost preempting another attack from Galgoth. You look towards to Robin and you just see his eyes open again.
00:16:35
Speaker
Thank you. You just hear the absolute screech of this creature as you wake up and your face is pressed against a vibrating magical cage that's just formed to your left. As you kind of pull your face away from the cage, you can feel the sweat dripping off your body and your face. You're back in the fight, barely. Your body is aching. Everything pounds with your blood kind of rushing through your body. But you are up.
00:17:05
Speaker
What would you like to do? I'm going to observe Drago's maneuver there and I'm going to replicate it. So I'm going to, with all of my movement, head to put myself between a dragon and Helena and just put one hand down on Helena's shoulder and cast level seven heal yet again. But this time Helena receives 80 points of healing. Thank you.
00:17:31
Speaker
And your fear is gone, I guess because you were downed and then came back up.
00:17:38
Speaker
Or do I need to make a wisdom save? Spell ends blindness, deafness, and any disease affecting the target. But I can't remember if when you go down that removes your status effects or not. I think it does. I don't think dragon fear myself. It does say creatures feared until either unconscious or breaks out of it. Okay. That is my action. And then as a precaution, I'm going to put spare the dying on Robin. Okay.
00:18:08
Speaker
Wow, okay. A lot of shit going on here. This is great stuff, guys. Awesome. But I see all the high-level spell slots have been used. All the slots are gone. Yeah, all the slots are used. I could hear you giggling, Casey, as well. I was trying to break your sludge from up there. Sludge! Awesome. Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely stuff, everyone. All the happy family. Everyone's coming back to life ready to die again in a minute. And we pass over to Folly. Folly fizzled by the coward, hiding behind the mound.
00:18:37
Speaker
That was brilliant. I'm fucking sorry. That was so funny. That was so quick. I'm a genius. Right. That was so good. Folly, come out. Come out. Just come out. Just tell your mum. It's fine. She loves you all the same. Do something. Do something. It's your turn. Do something. Oh, sorry. Actually, actually, actually. Oh, God.
00:18:59
Speaker
No, it wouldn't have asked. I'd say they've caught your dragon teeth as well, and they would have all electrocuted up, but they missed. Not quite. I double-checked that line beforehand. It was closed, but you were missing my teeth. No problem. All right. Over to you. Okay. As you can imagine, I'm going to start out with my bonus action. My teeth are on flight. I can get to the dragon.
00:19:26
Speaker
And they are basically, all 10 of them are just going to go straight for the head. They are basically buzzing around him like annoying flies, much like we probably are to him in all fairness, but they are just, he recognises the bite, the similarity of dragon teeth markings penetrating his head.
00:19:48
Speaker
He needs 10 dragons teeth to start thwacking him about. And I'm going to roll to attack with them. Okie dokie. Am I still at disadvantage? Yeah. One second. Because I'm not broken frightened. No you haven't. What do you have to roll for this?
00:20:15
Speaker
It's like a normal attack. It's a d20 plus the... Just roll to help, isn't it? Dragon's teeth modifier. Yeah, okay, right. Go ahead. Okay, with disadvantage, 21. With disadvantage? With disadvantage. I rolled a 19 and a 13 and these things have got a plus eight modifier. Come on, Folly. Yeah, Folly, you got this. Take this fucker down. Okay. Yeah, roll the damage.
00:20:44
Speaker
Okay, just so you updated, I'm going to also use Empowered spell. So I'm going to spend one sorcery point to reroll five of my dice. Well, it's actually four, but I can do five. Because, yeah, you can do more if you just roll them, and then don't tell anyone, it's fine.
00:21:07
Speaker
Just waited for the final moment of this battle. Now I'll do something. Alright, so these teeth, there's a buzzing around him, sinking every ounce of force that they possibly can, do 72 points of magical piercing damage. So even if they are normal damage, they still take the same, takes the full damage. Even if they were regular, so. Nice. This dragon is resistant, I'm just saying. Is it dead yet?
00:21:37
Speaker
The teeth mince through its skull. Holes start to burst out as it starts to wear down the thick, thick enamel of this skull, of this bone until it's paper thin, paper thin. Gaps start to appear, cheekbone teeth start to be smashed out. The kind of the horn shape that's kind of on its head snaps off. It is still flying.
00:22:04
Speaker
and I will tell you afterwards how many hit points it has up to that point but unfortunately it is still flying off the back of that though after that hit I'm gonna use one of my
00:22:16
Speaker
I'm going to use two of my legendary actions. You just doomed us, Callum. Oh, God. I probably doomed myself. I was going to do this anyway. And use my wing attack. I beat my tattered wings. Woof. And every creature within 10 feet of the creature must succeed in a dexterity saving throw. So that is the teeth. That is Karstan. That is Claude. And that, I believe, is Helena.
00:22:41
Speaker
Could you all make dexterity saving throws, but Karsten, do you want to negate the disadvantage because you are in cover?
00:22:48
Speaker
I'll give you that because this is a spell that's kind of the end, the wind, and the beat of the wings. You're actually- And it's dexterity, you said. Yeah, because you're kind of in a hole. I want to give you some kind of advantage for digging yourself a hole. I'll take that. I got a 13. Okay, cool. Yeah. Thanks, mate. That's not a problem. I thought, because you're kind of like, you're sheltered, so this wouldn't- Yeah, no, I appreciate that. Yes, thank you. Didn't help, though. Okay, thank you, Karsten, for that. I mean, I rolled a three. Oh, no. Claude?
00:23:16
Speaker
Four. Four? I think. Hold on. Come in five. Four. Nice four. Okay. Well, if it was a five, you know, it would be the same. Helena? Eleven. Eleven. And the teeth? Before I do this role, I'm not wrong with disadvantage with the teeth, are they? Because they're not frightened. The teeth are not frightened. So if they, if you can give them a dexterity saving throw, if they have the stat throw, then yeah. Well, you can anyway. Yeah. I think they, they, they're, they're, yeah. Okay. So I rolled a 13.
00:23:46
Speaker
The teeth, for some strange reason, have a plus four modifier to them for dexterity. That's 17. I'm also bending luck for these teeth. So I'm going to roll a d4 and stick something else on there as well. Many sorcerers' points. Yep, many, many sorcerers' points. Come on, please be happy. How many do you have, Colin? 500,000. I rolled a four for that. So that's 21 dexterity saving throw for my teeth.
00:24:12
Speaker
Yeah, OK. Yeah, passes that pass. They're not. It depends how much damage you do. They still get destroyed. No, it's an or it's an or. And so you do not take anything from this. So everyone else, so cast and Claude and Helena. Helena, you stay prone. Claude, you are not prone and cast and you fall over in your hole and you're all going to take 13 points of bludgeoning damage. Oh, God.
00:24:43
Speaker
As the wind comes in, Claude, you get knocked off your feet and, dang, you thwack your head off a rock just behind knocking yourself out yet again. So much thwacking this evening. Stop thwacking me, Mark. It's just the thwack of the wings, the thwack of the tongue, I don't know. The thwack of the teeth, thwacking hell. Helena, you take that as well, and so does Karl. Stan. And it has now bumped itself. How hard can I fly?
00:25:09
Speaker
80. I got my turn not done. I know this is still part of the same action. Thank you. Thank you. Making sure I can also fly up to half my flying speed after I can fly. I can actually fly away. I've got to fly up. Oh, nice. I'm gonna fly 40 feet. He's leaving.
00:25:27
Speaker
He's flying off out of the northeast corner of the map. He's not quite off the map. And if you have the range to shoot him off the map, you continue to shoot him. But he is making his way out of dodge. Folly, the rest of your turn, sorry. That was all part of his legendary action. How high is he flowing up? He is still skirting the tree line, so only about 10 feet off the ground.
00:25:56
Speaker
Folly does not want this thing to get away. He's running away. We've probably done some decent damage to this fucking thing. He's determined to keep it here and finish it off. He's going to cast Wall of Fire in front of it, which goes 60 feet high. Is it like 5 feet wide? 20 feet high.
00:26:23
Speaker
and 60 feet long. Okay, and you're putting it kind of 30 foot along it, so it's right in the middle, I assume. Yeah, the dragon's got to be right in the middle of it. And are you putting it in it or just in front of it? Just in front of it.
Defeat of the Dragon
00:26:37
Speaker
I want this wall of fire to basically come up straight in front of it, almost to try and give it a little bit of like, what the fuck is this coming from? Where is this coming from? So yeah, it is going to be front of it, but I still have 10 feet worth of
00:26:52
Speaker
damage that I can give to the side of the dragon so it's like between five and ten feet in front of it just as a little bit of a um uh description point of view um in typical fashion follies just going to whisper to themselves as well you shall not flee I can't say pass you can't do that um I thought one word for you would be you shall burn might be a good follow but I'm saving something for later yeah
00:27:22
Speaker
So I'm going to roll for damage. Can you make a dexterity saving throw? It passes. Are you just automatically doing the pass? Yes. He's using one of his legendary resistances to automatically pass. Okay. So you take half damage. That's 11 points of fire damage.
00:27:49
Speaker
the trees shake in the wind slightly black leaves falling as it flaps its large quivering wings as it flies
00:28:00
Speaker
inches above the tree line exiting towards the tower, the black tower in the distance. It starts to falter slightly as it tries to pick up wind and speed and suddenly out of nowhere this wall of fire erupts in front of it and as it rears up to try and stop itself its chest and energy of it kind of moving forward pushes itself into the fire and from your location almost silhouette like you see this creature, this silhouette, this black outline of what once must have been a
00:28:29
Speaker
dragon fall into the flame and as the wall comes down you see nothing but ash slowly falling, white ash falling to the ground as you have slain Galgrath the dragon. That was close. Are we still in the initiative order? Yeah because I got it. If it weren't for them dragon's teeth
00:28:59
Speaker
You still would have been a rioter. She's got a questionable dragon's teeth. Are we still in initiative? We are still in initiative order because we've got some folk down just clawed at the moment. That's the Follies turn, cast down top of the round. You are in your little hole. You are prone. You are frightened. What do you want to do? Am I still frightened? Yeah, you've got to roll the wisdom saving throw to bracket.
00:29:23
Speaker
In that case, because I'm frightened, I get up and can't see the dragon, so I can move where I want. I'm going to use the 15 feet of my movement, and I'm going to dash over to Claude, who's clearly just pissing blood all over the place, and I'm going to try and stabilize the bleeding Claude. Okay, give me medicine check with disadvantage, please.
00:29:48
Speaker
I got a 10. You need a 10, didn't you, to hold him? And yes, you managed to stabilize, you stabilized him out and he is now no longer dying. I think all the other characters are up, Robin's up, Drago's up, Helena's up, but looking, I was gonna say edgy then, you're not looking edgy, you're looking dodgy-ish compared to your normal state. I'm going to imagine that there is a moment of silence
00:30:17
Speaker
if we're breaking out of initiative, even before the silence, Drago's going to lay hands on Claude again to bring him up. Just to let you know. I agree with where you're going, the silence thing, but I just wanted you to know, as soon as it comes to Drago's turn, he takes a moment and takes out Dengon's deception out of the ground, puts it on his back, just slowly walks over to Claude,
00:30:43
Speaker
shoulders slumped and he just doesn't kneel just falls over Claude and just casts lay on hands for 10 points and you come too with a very heavy track and pawn just on top of you and you just you're not dead we're not dead it's done and on those words it's done
00:31:06
Speaker
echo out almost over the lands around you, the lands now clear of that stench, folly, the heart palpitations, the number of times this chaotic feeling of magic is what worn over you slowly subsides and you learn and you return to that controlled state of magic that you've trained and practiced so long, so hard to try and get right given all the
00:31:30
Speaker
All the times it has affected your life in the past, you control your magic. Robin, you open your eyes and you see a blur of a dragonborn approach then disappear again. You look down and see a slightly odd-looking bear in your hands, but your hands feel warm. The rest of you feel cold, but your hands feel warm against this bear as you start to move your neck and slowly stand up. Claude, as your eyes bleerily open and the dust and ash blows across the
00:31:59
Speaker
star-filled sky above you, you look to your right and you see the perpetually muddied character of Kastan standing over you, wide-eyed, looking down at you, bandaging you as
00:32:16
Speaker
as you slowly come to. You look to your left and you see the figure of a bruised, battered, but rather sheepish looking Helena as she looks down concerned at you and then you look up above you and you see the face of Drago and you can see his lips moving as he chants through a number of commands to Akiva for healing. And as you slowly set yourself up and all three characters heave yourself up to a seated position and you all look at each other
00:32:45
Speaker
and realise what you've just overcome. And in that moment of silence, that's where we're going to leave it for this week's super bumper, amazing set of fights we've had over the last couple of weeks against Galgroth, the dragon.
Battle Reflection and Teamwork
00:32:59
Speaker
Fucking Jesus. Oh, that was with dragon slayers. And we're alive. We're alive. I think that was maybe three rounds only.
00:33:08
Speaker
We just got into the fourth. Yeah. Oh yeah, I only cast, yeah. Fuck me. That was so intense for only three rounds of combat. That was literally like 18 seconds.
00:33:19
Speaker
edge of the seat stuff. I hate the way that time works in D&D, I really do. I hate the way how days kind of feel like fucking months and how the combat is like six seconds, but beyond all of that, fuck that was intense, man. That was so fucking good. That was not taking any credit for any of that shit. Jesus Christ, she did fuck all that. I healed like 200 points of healing.
00:33:39
Speaker
You saved my ass, man. You saved my ass. The dragon breath screwed us. I genuinely, even after that, if he hadn't have run away, I had recharged. I literally only rolled fives and sixes. I recharged every single time and they never would not use it.
00:33:57
Speaker
Could he not attack as well? It doesn't really state it, so I thought that would be about OP if I could then do the dragon breath, do 70 points of damage and then do a bite attack and two claw attacks. I've been looking at like 120. Using the experience I have as a dragonborn, once the dragon breath is a one and... I used it as like the action because it doesn't really state otherwise and I thought that would just be...
00:34:30
Speaker
I can't believe that we're not dead. That was the closest we've come. That was the closest we've come to a TPK. Three people down. I thought that was it. I've been worried about this all week and rightfully so. Halfway through this battle,
00:34:47
Speaker
I just, well, I mean, listeners, you heard, like it was just, I thought that's it. We're done. Fuck. That was so good. We've secured the second placement for the portals. Can we have a long rest? Olly will save the day again. It's fine. Thanks, Olly. With your bullshit teeth.
00:35:08
Speaker
I cast bullshit! Mark, you take 150,000 points of damage! And I gain 20 seconds. That's not in game, that's in real life. It's alright, I've got animate objects as well now, I'm gonna take that bullshit. And I'll raise you. Out of interest, how much health did Gelgoth have? Yeah.
00:35:26
Speaker
when Drago was going to do the healing, instead of healing, if he was going to run an attack, before the bullshit teeth. Before the bullshit teeth. Yes, before the teeth did it. I think he had about 76 or 77. I made the right decision. He was left on like four, I've got four written down, that was the last one. How many did he have altogether? Good question.
00:35:49
Speaker
200 plus, I reckon. I would have thought 400. It must have been about 250. No, there's no way it was 400, not in three rounds. 340.
00:35:57
Speaker
We took some damage. We managed to, I mean, you've got to look, you took a lot of damage. Drago took a massive set of hits out. Robin had a bitch in round. Folly had a bitch in round. Each of you probably each took out about a hundred, sorry, 250 hit points between you. And then, you know, Helena, you smashed out a solid zero clause. I'd reconcile that that was Robin's last moment.
00:36:25
Speaker
I really want to turn it into a crab and shove it in a bag. I like crab in a bag. Frog or a crab, the moment you said right, this could be dying, I was like, okay. And then think about Monday or Tuesday, I went, oh, if I polymorph it, it's gonna make a save.
00:36:44
Speaker
and we can put it in the bag of devouring and I looked it up and went yeah you can put it in the bag and it just gets eaten on its next turn without any say. To your point I had this great plan in my head of going into my paladin skills and stuff and then the very first action you take my health down to below 50
00:37:02
Speaker
and all i've got left is fucking rage to break out of fear and that's it i couldn't i couldn't do anything i wanted to do i was back to just hitting you with a sword and hoping for the best that's why when i find i did you know i i switched it up slightly because it didn't quite work the stat block didn't quite work for us but i saw a frightful presence and i thought oh
00:37:20
Speaker
Oh, Wisdom. That's a fun stat. That's a fun stat for the whole party. I hate my wisdom. And it's just, you know, it's a bit of fun and you had to work with what you got and you guys, you know, worked around it eventually and smashed it. If that guy wasn't the final boss.
00:37:36
Speaker
My fucking god. Ironically, this is the irony there, and I would have had to have nerfed it, I think. If he hadn't turned up now, he would have turned up later in the final battle, and he would have faced him. We did good. We did well. Calling him here was the right choice.
00:37:57
Speaker
That's if he doesn't come back. And it's the same choice that all of you made by tuning in and listening to us.
Audience Engagement and Social Media
