Transcript
- 0:14Welcome to Dice Sized and welcome to Wish Hunter.
- 0:17This is D&D audio adventure podcast where we would tell bite
- 0:19sized Dice World toys told stories.
- 0:21This is me, your DM and friend Robert Whitehead and with me as
- 0:24always my lovely table of friends and family.
- 0:25Here we of course have my brother George.
- 0:27Hey, it's G in the middle of a fiery tree.
- 0:30I keep using rhymes to introduce myself.
- 0:33I don't think I'll stop. Last time I know it's kind of
- 0:35cheesy. It's a hard direct rhyme.
- 0:37Yeah. Hey, it's.
- 0:39It's G Happy to be here. I think you've used that one
- 0:42too. Fuck.
- 0:43Think of more words. More words.
- 0:45Hey, it's G. I'm happily.
- 0:48Period. Period.
- 0:54Not for long. The Eldar have attacked, they
- 0:57have found you. These creatures that haunt well,
- 1:00space, the under, astral, the underverse.
- 1:02I wish Beard had many words for it, but there be only one
- 1:06solution, the fight. I've read of the demons in the
- 1:10book. Well, those were the scary
- 1:12pages. They drew them.
- 1:13You have have you boy? Well, best use your imagination
- 1:17and how to fight them because that's what they'll use against
- 1:19you. Anyways, moving on to our next
- 1:21friend Maya. Hey, it's Maya.
- 1:23You can call me Maya. I'm in a party with Papaya and
- 1:26another friend, Raya. Yeah.
- 1:30I am better than George. You are better.
- 1:33With love. Also diamonds.
- 1:37That's all I have, I'm afraid. I was trying so hard not to just
- 1:39say Damon, I've. Been saying it all day.
- 1:42Diamonds. I I loved Akuma just being like
- 1:45yeah, fuck no, no guys, we're getting it wrong, OK?
- 1:48No demons not here all around us.
- 1:51Well, now they are OK. Sorry, and I'm a devil.
- 1:54Demons bad, devils pretty chill. The natural enemy of demons, of
- 1:59course. Devils behind of this.
- 2:01Does that say Matt on that demon's shirt?
- 2:04Matt Demon. No, it can't possibly be.
- 2:07Is that shitty hair? The other one next to him says
- 2:10Brad Pitt. OK.
- 2:11No, it says Brad Pitt's of hell. Oh my.
- 2:14Bad Yes, that was silly and goofy.
- 2:16And I got another silly and goofy person in my life.
- 2:18That's my lovely wife, Savannah. Sav here playing Cassie and
- 2:22she's feeling like time's a little bit hourglassy.
- 2:26Oh, putting me in my place today.
- 2:27Yes, we. Do bump.
- 2:32Nice. What do you specifically mean by
- 2:34hourglassy? It's a good line, but I'm
- 2:36curious. I feel like we're running out of
- 2:37it. Oh, it's pretty
- 2:39self-explanatory. Of sand time.
- 2:42It's a metaphor, but it's not because it's a functional tool.
- 2:44We could. Is a clock a metaphor?
- 2:47And why would they choose sand? Well, what?
- 2:49Else would they choose? I don't know water.
- 2:51Dumbbells. Jelly beans.
- 2:54Yeah, no, you're right. Sand feels right.
- 2:58I get it. I get it.
- 2:59I get it. Water.
- 3:02Well, before this all slips through my fingers like sand,
- 3:05let's get to a recap. Yo water.
- 3:10Last time our heroes awoke in their splinter of a world,
- 3:14Though the sun did not rise, the astral waters did brighten.
- 3:17As if an expectation of day awaiting Wishbeard and his ship,
- 3:21the Bottle Breaker, our heroes reflected upon their first night
- 3:24within the Great Willow of their own making.
- 3:27Billy had found some comfort in the gathering.
- 3:28Cassie, Claude, and Rye's night time conversation was uneasy.
- 3:32Ultimately, Cassie had decided that Claude didn't deserve the
- 3:35full knowledge of Soraya's true fate and kept it to herself.
- 3:38Arable pondered his choice to give Adelante a position within
- 3:41the Great Willows archives and library, and daydreamed sparring
- 3:44with Igor. Meanwhile, Zen, Igor, and Esther
- 3:47had caught up over a slumber party.
- 3:49Akuma shared much about watching these three grow up, Zen's
- 3:52imprisonment and their eventual escape from Domi, and everything
- 3:55that had happened since. Just on time, The Bottle Breaker
- 3:59broke through, using Parables Arcane Signature and invitation
- 4:02upon his boomerang as a ticket of entry into the domain.
- 4:05As the vessel closed in, Parables Primordial half
- 4:07recognized some of the crew as distinct cousins, Batali Vital
- 4:12primal elementals of fortune, Fate, and favor, rather than the
- 4:15elements. The rest of the crew appeared as
- 4:18individuals forged of both artifice and artery, mixtures of
- 4:22machine and man. Upon landing, Wish Beard made
- 4:26his introduction avast by lady Luck Soraya herself.
- 4:30It's good to meet you all. Our heroes had barely had time
- 4:33to welcome the eclectic crew and captain to the newly dubbed
- 4:36Callum's Crossing before Wishbeard began speaking.
- 4:39He prays Soraya, attributing both his past survival and
- 4:42current arrival to her foresight.
- 4:44He had long sailed the Under Astral, a sub reality of broken,
- 4:48fragmented worlds, seeking the power to survive the whole time.
- 4:52The cosmos around them, he explained, was chaos beneath the
- 4:55root of all things, beneath what is true creation, also known as
- 5:01well space, where the great wells of Creation, water.
- 5:04The root Akuma confirmed it. The world was surrounded by
- 5:08demonic and a barren entities that sought to destroy them.
- 5:12Changing the world was only the first step, the next was making
- 5:16it. Raya, spurred by memory, sparred
- 5:18with Wishbeard in a playful dance of violence.
- 5:21When it was over, both were breathless and laughing like old
- 5:23friends. It was then that Wishbeard told
- 5:25his truest story. He had been there when the
- 5:29Wizards 3 made their wishes. The wizard's luck and time had
- 5:32wished for the world, but wish had not.
- 5:36The wizard Wish had betrayed them, forcing them to ascend.
- 5:40Afterward, Bush Beard found himself drifting, shipless, lost
- 5:44and alone in the Under Astral. Pain stays with you in the Under
- 5:48astral till you're out of it. That is damn glad to be out of
- 5:51it. It was only through luck and
- 5:54fate that the crew of the Bottle Breaker found him, saved him,
- 5:58and gave him a new place as captain.
- 6:00Since then, Wishbeard has been lost in, well, space, trying to
- 6:02find his way back. Apparently the cosmic ripples of
- 6:05Solaris breaking apart and finally Ever's death had finally
- 6:09given him a heading back to the land apart.
- 6:11Before this Wishbeard had plundered world believed in
- 6:14impossible to reach the real. It was Soraya who taught him
- 6:18otherwise. Soraya had shown him worlds were
- 6:21worth saving. If we can make a world big
- 6:23enough, strong enough, bright enough, and be brought and born
- 6:27through the route, and maybe it would be possible.
- 6:30True world, born into creation, which we are laid out three
- 6:34paths ahead. Raya only saw two realistic
- 6:37ones. The first, Conqueror, parlay
- 6:39with the other fragments to make the world whole once more.
- 6:42The second, head straight for the route.
- 6:44Maybe Soraya gave you this chance.
- 6:47Or the third take the fight to the wizard wish, bring him down
- 6:50to mortality, undo what he has done and give power back to the
- 6:54world. Complete what the Wizards 3 had
- 6:56been doing in the 1st place. Parable, inspired to seek
- 7:00answers in Brick finally unlocked the true center of its
- 7:03geometric puzzle. Inside he found a seed
- 7:06flickering with dark and light. From it he sent untold
- 7:10primordial power, power enough to create worlds.
- 7:13The word world seed sprang to his mind and then pressing in
- 7:19upon the domains barrier came a new threat.
- 7:22El Dori demons of well space had found them all and we rejoin our
- 7:28heroes. Now as you all feel these
- 7:29creature begin to penetrate the barrier.
- 7:31It feels like ticks furrowing into your skin as they invade
- 7:36your domain. Then respond with a wall of
- 7:39flame and parallel moves to read the Great Willow with a illusory
- 7:43flame. Cassie, is there anything you
- 7:45want to do in your Dominari capacity before we roll for
- 7:48initiative? Something I'd like to do is
- 7:52maybe call upon my star map. Maybe it has a software update
- 7:58based on recent changes. I believe was not wanting to
- 8:02preempt initiative with this specific information, and I'm
- 8:06going to still put this to a roll, but give me an Arcana
- 8:08check here. And this will serve as your
- 8:11dominar action. So you're not reaching out with
- 8:12your own senses, you're reaching out with the senses of the
- 8:15arcane power that holds this place together to 14.
- 8:19Totally enough. You're reminded in this moment
- 8:22of one of the key components of this great Willow that you've
- 8:25made. Within Callum's Crossing.
- 8:27There exists a chamber with three seats that you haven't
- 8:32closely inspected yet. It's a helm.
- 8:35It's a spell jamming helm. It's.
- 8:37A flying baby. Oh my God.
- 8:40I think with that check you have an inkling that perhaps the
- 8:43entire domain could be moved if you were to sit in that chair.
- 8:46Should we just go? Let's take the snow globe on a
- 8:48roll, baby. Because you think of like how
- 8:50can I better like plug this in? That seems to be like a
- 8:52centerfold place. We'll sit in my vans.
- 8:54Yeah, and then it's suddenly like you could probably have
- 8:57eyes everywhere. I almost pictured you holding up
- 9:00the map and there was like a small burn hole in there looking
- 9:03through it. You just saw the helm?
- 9:04Yeah. I imagine what this looks like
- 9:06is as Zen and Parable go to do their things, Cassie just
- 9:10notices like little bits of magic hum and Zing backwards to
- 9:15the helm. It resonates and Cassie notices
- 9:18where the arcane fluctuation like points to and that draws
- 9:22you to the helm. Little baby Will of the Wisps.
- 9:25Will of the wells now that you've created this domain, but
- 9:28there we will roll initiative. 14 for Cassie, 22.
- 9:35For Zen. We love that alert feat.
- 9:38I do. I really do.
- 9:39The box fails us again. It's not 20.
- 9:42Oh God, it's exciting. I can't tell your face you know
- 9:46all. Right.
- 9:48OK. Hey, Rob, can you not?
- 9:51In parable that is you first, let me describe what you feel
- 9:55with your dominary senses besides just the pressure of
- 9:59many forces and people's pushing and.
- 10:01Cue the music. You're like, so right here what
- 10:05you can hear. I love that kid music.
- 10:08That's going to be the best. 4th Wolverine ever.
- 10:12I, I just picture in parable, like silhouetted, like Aragon,
- 10:14you know, like you, you kind of picture him in the edge of the
- 10:16tree and like looking out and he's the first guy up and he's
- 10:19little. Don't worry guys, but.
- 10:23I got this. Parable rolled me a perception
- 10:25check for you of any back in here. 21.
- 10:29More than enough to see that there are two types of forces
- 10:32invading your domain. Two types?
- 10:34Yes, two types of invading your domain.
- 10:37One which is some sort of seeking force.
- 10:40You can tell from their intent that they seem like scouts as
- 10:44you get a mental image of a massive bulbous head that is
- 10:47entirely eyeball, a rigid shitness back that goes down to
- 10:53sharp clawed hands that seem just as prepared for insect like
- 10:58flight as they do for climbing up this great tree.
- 11:03If they zip through the air with such evasive speed.
- 11:08Noticing them was the hardest thing to do here.
- 11:10The next thing that was equally hard to notice was shadow demons
- 11:15that eat out from behind them and from their shadows as they
- 11:19they pull in the shadow demons like kind of drop off from their
- 11:22underbellies only two D sticking up underneath their sides as
- 11:28they use the underbelly shadow of these things with the light
- 11:32of the domain until you notice them dropping off as you see
- 11:37their shadows separate which must be another hostile entity.
- 11:41But all these are must. It be yes must.
- 11:44It be many numbers with that perception check you know at
- 11:46least nine of the shadow types type demons and nine of the
- 11:51information seeking type demons. Both are here most of all and
- 11:56most startlingly, as if just now noticing no.
- 12:00No, no, no, no distance. You notice a massive tentacle
- 12:06creature nearly 1/3 of the size of your domain that's just on
- 12:10the horizon. You can't really tell how large
- 12:12this thing is because it is so large and far off.
- 12:15But I can tell it's in the domain.
- 12:16It's not in the domain. It's like.
- 12:18A comment like coming in the atmosphere.
- 12:22About to ring the doorbell? It's.
- 12:23Notice the the ripples of these other demons and a larger and
- 12:28greater Eldari, a creature of the underverse.
- 12:32Maybe we just got to get him to eat the other ones.
- 12:34Like maybe he was following his thrill.
- 12:36Be like. Look, we're so yummy.
- 12:38Come and get your breath. You're you're.
- 12:40Yes, there's 18 of them. Come and get them.
- 12:42They're getting like 9 blueberries, some like 18.
- 12:45I'll tell you straight, the end we're different.
- 12:47The end of party, that thing would be a terribly, terribly
- 12:50difficult fight that I don't think many would be the cosmic
- 12:54horror that you see. Oh.
- 12:55We interested. No, no, no.
- 12:56Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no.
- 12:57Yeah, it's giving Star Wars when they're all like and then like
- 13:02the big 1 is coming the. Galactic Destroyer, I say.
- 13:05There's always a bigger fish. And this one has fucking
- 13:09tentacles. Maybe we do try to move it right
- 13:11away. Let's drive away, yeah?
- 13:13Let's let's hit and run, Cassie. Blocks eyes with parable and Zen
- 13:18and says this tree has a helm, let's go get in and see how
- 13:22quickly we can take off. Yeah, I don't think these
- 13:25creatures mean well. Does everybody see this big
- 13:27technical thing, or is a parable up in the front?
- 13:29Everyone sees the big technical thing.
- 13:31It's parable. Who notices?
- 13:32I would assume you convey this to the group.
- 13:34Yeah, I think. I turn around to the group and I
- 13:36say it looks like we have at least a dozen demons on the left
- 13:39and the right and something on the horizon.
- 13:41What are we going to do? Oh, protect our people.
- 13:46What's a fight? Parable.
- 13:48Look at that thing. Parable We can be a pirate.
- 13:50We can be a pirate in our own domain.
- 13:52Are we just going to leave? The second we leave, we're
- 13:55taking everything with us. It's going to be an empty hole
- 13:58in space. We're not leaving anything.
- 13:59We're just leaving people who weren't invited here, so we're
- 14:03just staying. They're leaving.
- 14:05Staying elsewhere? I Before you make your decision,
- 14:08you best know this. We might outrun the big thing
- 14:11behind us, but the lesser Aldari, now that they're in
- 14:14here, they're with us. That's what I felt.
- 14:16I feel like even if we leave, we're going to take these bad
- 14:18things with us and I just, I'm done running.
- 14:21But parable, we can't take on that big thing that's.
- 14:23Not to say that we shouldn't run.
- 14:25Which beard have you ever taken on something of this size?
- 14:27I. Have, but not without
- 14:28preparation and the entirety of my crew ready and in position.
- 14:31When did you lose? You're wondering why to have a
- 14:34crew in the 1st place? Well, I don't want to lose this
- 14:36one either. OK, so, OK, bull parable.
- 14:40We can still fight. We're going to have to.
- 14:42But someone can drive, right? You said it doesn't take all
- 14:45three of us. OK, who wants to drive?
- 14:47Will just sticks. I guess, I guess before we
- 14:50leave, could we just say goodbye to?
- 14:54What, It's not here anymore? But you're bringing it with you.
- 14:58Terrible, honestly. Just kind of zones out, Turns
- 15:00back around, looks out of the tree, walks up to the edge.
- 15:03I'm imagining it getting more and more intimidating as
- 15:05everything is coming in. Just like someone who needs to
- 15:07act but isn't takes a deep breath.
- 15:09He turns around and says pass. You know how to fly this thing?
- 15:14RYA taught me a few things. Well, I think you should get to
- 15:17it and he's going to fall backwards out of the tree so
- 15:21sick he's going to enter this fight I'm.
- 15:23Going to say that you're not on a branch, you are still inside
- 15:26the tree, and the tree opens at your invitation.
- 15:29My God. As if sensing your intent, it
- 15:32opens for you as you plummet into the sky.
- 15:35What do you do next? I am going to unstopper my
- 15:38bottle and cast Guardian of Faith and I am going to prepare
- 15:45in action and continue my fall as I'm falling backwards with my
- 15:49eyes closed just like I was in the book.
- 15:50Well, I imagine just the wall opening up behind me so I can
- 15:54fall out of the tree. A descent that you choose.
- 15:56A descent that I choose. I unstopper a lamp or the
- 15:59bottle, and I say a tem one more time, and I have the other hand
- 16:03on the book, so it still goes through me.
- 16:05A Tem's going to rise, and he's going to go in between the rest
- 16:08of the party, the helm, and the closest group to me.
- 16:11And as I fall, I do, with my eyes closed, say, wish Beard,
- 16:14get to your ship. Awesome, awesome.
- 16:16I'm still plummeting as I release the bottle and I'm just
- 16:18getting ready. I lad, you'll know when you see
- 16:21it. He points to you and he like
- 16:24disappears into elemental energies as he makes for his
- 16:28ship as quick as possible. Awesome.
- 16:29He'll move on his initiative. But absolutely.
- 16:31Here's your heat of advice. Great use of Garden of Faith and
- 16:36anything else parable. I think that's your action
- 16:37economy, right? That is my action economy and I
- 16:40leave it to you guys. Not quite, it is the demons that
- 16:43move next, specifically the fast moving scouts that move, but the
- 16:48shadows too move with them as they close in, but a group of
- 16:52them unable to dodge and avoid the guardian of faith.
- 16:56You just hear time. Welcome to the end of your
- 17:02story. My friend grabs a shadow demon
- 17:05and one of these secret demons and makes the move against them.
- 17:09That's just 20 flat damage. I'm a fail, right?
- 17:12It's 20 flat radiant damage. So catching a whole group of
- 17:17these things, what is the save here?
- 17:20A deck save of 15 and can a Tam in this moment look and match
- 17:24the tree A. 100% he glows with a holy scourge that Zen might be
- 17:31feeling. Maybe this is cathartic for you
- 17:33actually, because this is like the light and flame as radiant
- 17:38is combined with fire and the wrath of a tem is once more felt
- 17:44by the enemy. And OK, so the shadow demons
- 17:48will save here, but they'll still take half right?
- 17:50Yep. OK, so they'll take 10, but
- 17:52their vulnerability you see hits, makes it hit just as hard
- 17:56as the radiant damage will do double to them, so negates the
- 18:01save here. And the secret demons fail
- 18:04entirely, so they will take the full 20.
- 18:06That's a total of 50. Damage A total of 50 damage to
- 18:09to six different creatures. Wow, amazing.
- 18:14I think Zen just looks to Igor and Esther and like don't worry
- 18:17that ones on our side, it's kind of parables like higher self in
- 18:21a way. I'll explain later.
- 18:23This stephandria looks at a 10 in blushes.
- 18:27I'm almost afraid to ask because I don't want to add HP to them
- 18:30but the fire shield damage. So I actually lowered all of
- 18:34their HP by the average fire damage, fire shield damage,
- 18:39which is 2D8. If you actually roll 2D8, then
- 18:42let me know if you roll higher than average.
- 18:44What's average? Nine.
- 18:45Yeah, it's 9. Incredible.
- 18:46I rolled A12. OK, so I will, if any of them
- 18:51are within three points of kill and dropping, I will kill them.
- 18:55I'll drink their life. You will drink their life.
- 18:57Can I just say this is fucking cool?
- 18:59This is. Dope.
- 19:00So as these seeker demons, few, few, few, as if burning up an
- 19:05atmosphere, experiencing the effects of your fire shield, you
- 19:09see they get hit and kind of wobbled in the air and their big
- 19:12bulbous eyes kind of fuzz out for a moment.
- 19:15And suddenly and the cinematic view were in their perspective
- 19:18as they wobble, wobble, wobble and then look up and it's just a
- 19:22Tem wiping them away with a massive forearm and all of the
- 19:26secret demons are destroyed. Really.
- 19:29What every in that radius? In that radius, OK, I should
- 19:32clarify the but all the the shadow demons are still up, but
- 19:36the yeah, the secret demons in that radius are destroyed.
- 19:38Wow. I think, yeah, apparently.
- 19:41I think the TEM is just going to do the wish flick.
- 19:45Oh yes, yes, he he says. No.
- 19:50Perfect, perfect and looks to you with a playful smile on his
- 19:55face. I open one eye for a second as
- 19:58I'm falling. Like grin.
- 19:59Perfect. Excepting your nature, I see
- 20:02here. Oh.
- 20:03It seems natural. As the wind is, that was such a
- 20:09dope line. Reminded me of more.
- 20:12Yeah, it totally. Did I was leaning on that and
- 20:15you got another extra attack, right?
- 20:16I do have one more, so I go through kind of cleave this
- 20:19second one and I'll roll. Let's see if you can finish
- 20:22them. The 19 on the die. 19 will just
- 20:25hit and. I'll roll for damage, 8 more
- 20:27radiant damage, but I'm going to use Vex.
- 20:30OK cool, so that will put him at disadvantage for.
- 20:33His next attack? Yeah, I believe so.
- 20:34Good stuff. And moving on next, that is you
- 20:39up next, Zen. Zen is going to look to Cass and
- 20:44say you go for the helm. We'll hold them back as long as
- 20:47we can. You're the best person for this
- 20:50and I believe in you. You've got.
- 20:51This got to go. Zen's going to run outside kind
- 20:57of to the landing back towards the ship to get kind of eyes on
- 21:02what the heck is happening and who's where.
- 21:04I think, Cassie yells. Zen, you were made for this.
- 21:07They're just another check on your list.
- 21:11You're so right. She's going to run outside and
- 21:15I'm trying to like commune a little bit with the tree, a
- 21:18little like, OK, we got this, this is our home.
- 21:21Like we just created this space. We're not going to let the
- 21:24demons try to take it and she's going to cast Insect.
- 21:28Plague, but I wanted. To be like she almost like
- 21:33summons the insects from like the tree like pulls.
- 21:36So it's not like locusts, it's like.
- 21:38Will of the West. Could be Will of the West.
- 21:41Whatever you want. Like insect plague obviously has
- 21:44a connotation of insects, but it is nature Incarnate comes to
- 21:48your call. It's whatever you want to flavor
- 21:50it as here. I do kind of like the idea of
- 21:52the of the OR. At least like lightning bug
- 21:54version. Yeah, like just lightning bugs,
- 21:56like all the the like. Yeah, we're just bringing them
- 21:59all together, legs and all. We cannot let these demons take
- 22:03our space, like, let's come together to fight them off.
- 22:06So she's kind of just sending out a call to join the fight.
- 22:10Everything responds, from the littlest lightning bug to the
- 22:14tiniest Willow. Well, all here, your call.
- 22:17Awesome. Who do you want hit with that?
- 22:19I'm looking to hit this furthest group.
- 22:21There's six of them, the three shadow and the three seekers.
- 22:24Absolutely yes, there do seem to be like 3 larger groups made-up
- 22:28of both and you capture one that has not been touched yet.
- 22:31OK, so a mixture of both shadow demons and seekers.
- 22:34That's so far away. What is the range on that spell?
- 22:36300. Wow.
- 22:38Yeah, and that's only 145. Feet.
- 22:40That's amazing. That's so sick.
- 22:42And the area is lightly obscured and it's difficult terrain, so
- 22:45each creature in the space needs to make a con saving throw,
- 22:48taking 4D10 piercing damage on a fail.
- 22:51And these bugs are bullying these demons.
- 22:54Oh yeah. Get out of here, you little.
- 22:56Basically the vibe is like this is our home, like you're not
- 23:00welcome here and just sends all her bugs at the.
- 23:04It starts small as just like a little Willow wisp and butterfly
- 23:09kind of flits amongst the group and the demons are just like is
- 23:13this. Comforted by never seen
- 23:15something so beautiful. And then like you see the secret
- 23:18demon is just like it's eyes almost is irisine so hard as if
- 23:23it is like a camera lens and with a Nat 20.
- 23:30They take half as damage. What was the safe #16 Cool, yes,
- 23:34that second one will also say with an 18.
- 23:36OK, wait, I'm going to use my cosmic omen of woe.
- 23:39OK the one that rolled 18I AM going to roll AD 6 and subtract
- 23:45my result from that role that they just did.
- 23:47Let's see it. Whoa to. 3.
- 23:51Beautiful. That's perfect.
- 23:52Perfect. Just enough as the what does it
- 23:54look like As the shadow demons for a moment seem to be getting
- 23:58the better of nature for a moment.
- 24:00How do you turn the tide? Would it be overstepping to say
- 24:02that this is maybe around the time that Cassie reaches the
- 24:05helm? Not at all.
- 24:07And. Going to jump in the seat, she
- 24:09sort of chaotically like, swipes her hand across the control
- 24:13panels and just sort of causes things to jolt.
- 24:16I. Love that.
- 24:19It. Doesn't realize it.
- 24:23Like totally. Helped is definitely, you know,
- 24:27on the way with you. She says, oh, that happens to me
- 24:29too sometimes. Sometimes fate tells you to
- 24:31misstep. It normally means it's a good
- 24:32thing. So let's pray it worked, OK?
- 24:35You know for a fact that you just bettered something on the
- 24:37battlefield for sure. 19 halved. Nice. 19.
- 24:42Just for the one. Just for the ones.
- 24:44And then 19 piercing for the bail.
- 24:47Yes, luckily you got the fail out of them because the piercing
- 24:50is actually a resistance that they have against the shadow
- 24:52demons, so they'll take half as well.
- 24:55Shadow. I guess that makes sense.
- 24:57Yeah. And 17.
- 24:58Halved We round down South. 18 Halved.
- 25:01Excuse me, 19 halved, 9 damage. Yeah, my friend.
- 25:08Fantastic stuff, Cassie, that is you up next.
- 25:10What does Cassie have to do to successfully pilot this island?
- 25:14Give me a free arcana check as you make your way to the helm
- 25:18and what you stumble over is the sleekest.
- 25:22Actually, you described your chair.
- 25:24You sit in the middle. You don't know why, but your
- 25:26chair popped up in the middle. And the controls you were
- 25:29talking about, I loved that. My first thought was that some
- 25:31levers and buttons would like be splintered wood, like sprouts
- 25:35from a tree. I love that as far as the seat
- 25:38goes, Cassie sees maybe her little name on the back of the
- 25:43the center seat. And I think it reminds her of,
- 25:45well, it doesn't remind her of this because this doesn't exist
- 25:47in the two wells. But on Earth, we've got the hump
- 25:50seat in the back of like an SUV because she's so used to sitting
- 25:54on a stool, barely hovering over it, like looking into her
- 25:57microscope. She's not like a lounge chair
- 25:59gal. So she's like very erect, sat
- 26:02upright, sitting on this like pump seat that comes up a little
- 26:05taller, like a parables got to be.
- 26:07Yeah, sort of satellite parables got to be closer to the controls
- 26:10cuz Little little and Zen probably has like a has to be 1
- 26:15foot from things to see them with her eyes so she can make
- 26:17sure they're not moving in the wrong way.
- 26:19But I'm up on this hump, sort of able to see maybe the big
- 26:23picture. I do love the idea to the point
- 26:25of like splintered wood, you know, when a knotted root just
- 26:28really takes a good shape to be something else.
- 26:30I love that. Kind of like shaping a throne of
- 26:33three people, like a middle seat or.
- 26:35Everyone branches make like such nice little pockets, Yes, yeah.
- 26:39And as you clock into this, yeah, roll me an Arcana check.
- 26:42Alrighty. The controls could be mushroom.
- 26:45I imagine like like mushrooms coming down like like leaves you
- 26:48have to like. A mixture a mixture of like
- 26:50Willow branches and like mushroom buttons.
- 26:52Yeah, yeah, it is. Definitely.
- 26:54It's like this arcane nature beats tech.
- 26:58I rolled a 16. I see.
- 26:59With that check, you can tell that the function of this chair
- 27:02is to propel and maneuver the large landmass that you were on.
- 27:07Set of three chairs. Three chairs.
- 27:09With that check, you can also tell that you'd likely have more
- 27:11power with three people. That doesn't mean that you won't
- 27:14be able to move, you just won't likely be moving at full
- 27:16capacity. Just by instincts, you can tell
- 27:19that just getting momentum in the space that you're in should
- 27:22be enough to get away from the cosmic horror that is chasing
- 27:25you. Earlier you were feeling sensing
- 27:29things as a Dominari. As you settle into your seat,
- 27:33that is nothing compared to this.
- 27:36As you fully lock in and attuned to this with that check, you can
- 27:40see and hear what's happening on and around the vessel as though
- 27:45you were standing in that location of your choice.
- 27:48Anywhere within the domain becomes your vision.
- 27:53Your star map expands exponentially.
- 27:56You can feel not just within your domain, but your domain
- 28:00touches, You know what well, space feels like in this moment,
- 28:04You know? I am the telescope.
- 28:09Yeah, could could you visually like I'm just imagining when
- 28:12Parable saw you with divine sense?
- 28:14In your arcane senses, both Zen and parable, you feel a ripple
- 28:18of something pass through you as Cassie's senses expand.
- 28:23For the first time ever, Cassie is going to Wild shape to assume
- 28:29starry form. Oh my God.
- 28:34I. Think it's going to be no shit
- 28:37like it just happens. You tune just as Helm.
- 28:41You tune to the universe that you're within.
- 28:45That is so cool to see you sit down and like connect with this
- 28:50thing that seems natural, like you're sitting because even
- 28:52yourself said like it felt like sitting on the stool at home.
- 28:55Yeah. And you've become the telescope.
- 28:58Like you said, just connect. And then slowly, could you
- 29:01describe how you turn into *? Not a starry form looks like for
- 29:04me. Well I become radiant and I I
- 29:09shed bright light in a 10 foot radius and then dim light for an
- 29:13additional 10 feet. So I'm just very bright but
- 29:15somehow also so dark. Like black hole dark but like
- 29:20black hole on fire dark. If you could have a white
- 29:23highlighter, that's my. Edges Ryah says that color looks
- 29:28good on you. And then when I blink, whereas
- 29:31before my eyes were black, now they are white hot.
- 29:36Like the center of a star, you both burn and hold the void
- 29:41within you as you take on this power.
- 29:44I think that is free of your action as you would tune to
- 29:47this. So you take bonus action star
- 29:48form. Is there anything that you want
- 29:50to do from this helm? You are a dominarian truth,
- 29:53especially here. I'd like to start driving.
- 29:56Awesome. You will use a pilot action here
- 30:00to do so. I'm having my Emily expert.
- 30:04Shout out Emily. So if you want to straight up
- 30:07dash and just go for speed, you could you could also go for
- 30:10evasive maneuvers, which will put all of the creatures at
- 30:13disadvantage. I'll tell you with your senses
- 30:15right now, you're just getting so many details from the
- 30:18battlefield. It's overwhelming for a moment
- 30:20and then if you click in the shadow, demons are suffering
- 30:24already immensely under the light, specifically of the tree.
- 30:28The illusory light of the tree is actually hurting almost more
- 30:33than the fire. Wow.
- 30:35They're yeah, they are like you can see them trying to hide as
- 30:39best they can as they stick to itself.
- 30:41Yes, as they stick to the underbellies, trying to stick
- 30:43within the shadows, but as best they can, more so, you can see
- 30:46that the secret demons, they are fiercely vast, if they get a
- 30:53chance to move again, will be upon you.
- 30:56Are those the ones that are blocked by the insect plague
- 30:58right now? I'm of Mar, we have another
- 31:00group. Many a group that are attacking
- 31:01you, you have three big clusters of attack that are invading you
- 31:06from all sides right now. So with that in mind, you've put
- 31:09the shadow demons at disadvantage and the seekers are
- 31:12fast. You can see as they veer through
- 31:13the air. Speed will definitely get you
- 31:16away from the horror behind you. Giant tentacle thing.
- 31:19Giant tentacle cosmic horror behind you.
- 31:21The evasive maneuvers might help your allies.
- 31:23And if you have any other ideas or wants, I'm also open to hear
- 31:27them. How fast do I sense this ship
- 31:29can maneuver left and right? Not just propel forward, but
- 31:34spin for example. Interesting.
- 31:37Slowly, but like tectonic plates, any amount of shift is
- 31:43massive enough, and I think that would equate to evasive
- 31:46maneuvers to put everyone at all of the enemies at disadvantage
- 31:49as they're like shaken by the gravitational field shifting
- 31:53along with the domain. OK, pretty technical, but I do
- 31:55think Cassie would start by trying to get her bearings on
- 32:00the left right rotation before turning off you.
- 32:03Turn and sleep before you accelerate.
- 32:04So not a full circle, but I think there would be some left
- 32:08right motion. Absolutely.
- 32:10As you do so, it might be slow. It is noticeable, which you
- 32:16know, like it happens with such unexpected shift that for the
- 32:21first few seconds just the stunned nature of everyone I
- 32:24think is enough to cause a pause.
- 32:27I'm banking on my short friends and their low center of gravity.
- 32:32And then has a wide stance. I will say from your chair
- 32:36you're able to communicate with them specifically like.
- 32:39Through their brains. Yeah, I was asking earlier, like
- 32:41if she sits in the chair, we get the.
- 32:42I was like, oh, I'm not in the room, but wait, no, we're done.
- 32:44We're not reconnect and. Tell them to brace.
- 32:46Telling people to brace? Absolutely.
- 32:48Did I have to make a piloting check?
- 32:50Yes. So your piloting check will be
- 32:51proficiency plus intelligence. 13.
- 32:56I use my luck My luck point for my luck blade.
- 32:59Yeah, I will. Yeah.
- 33:00OK, I think that we connect mentally and I see in my head
- 33:04casting starry form and my my sheath glows awesome and I send
- 33:08you luck. Just I get to.
- 33:10Reroll. Reroll here.
- 33:12Thanks, Parable. You hear it in your brain 23.
- 33:17God damn, I was gonna put some. Dominations.
- 33:20But no longer. So is my future or future
- 33:24piloting checks for me +6 that's saying future.
- 33:26Piloting checks will be +6. You may at some point gain
- 33:30expertise as you continue to do this, but for now you
- 33:35proficiency is tough to find and you find it naturally.
- 33:39As you attune to this thing and shift the land, you somehow
- 33:43simultaneously telepathically warn all of your allies so that
- 33:48so much so that they can be exempt from this effect.
- 33:51You can see then the demons don't really fly.
- 33:54They use like the vital aura that you guys have gathered
- 33:56within your domain to swim through it.
- 33:59You can see that as soon as they hit your domain, it's like it's
- 34:02almost more viscous for them as they move.
- 34:04Faster when you when you spin a jar of Pickles and the Pickles
- 34:08stand in the same place with. The jars you.
- 34:11Know exactly? What I'm talking about I think.
- 34:14I'm Dang, I'm sick. I'm not sure if I do, but I yes
- 34:17100% I can visualize it. So I'm we're in this, this
- 34:20spaceship, right, which is technically this whole spherical
- 34:23domain like a snow globe. Our chunk of.
- 34:24Earth, I'm imagining that it only looks like a snow globe
- 34:27spherically because we don't see the bottom half like an iceberg.
- 34:29So it's actually like an egg, you know, like the sphere keeps
- 34:33going underneath the tree to the roots and we're our spatial
- 34:38awareness stays the same. You know, we still see the
- 34:40three, but it like as if it starts to shrink wrap around the
- 34:43tree ready for flight. You know, we just see like a
- 34:45tree in the roots like jets ready to propel us.
- 34:51Ban. Fucking tastic.
- 34:52Yeah, you do. As Cassie.
- 34:54It's pedal to the metal. Pedal to the bark.
- 34:57She never would have thought she had this much flying in her
- 35:00future. Thanks.
- 35:02It's it's actually a flower petal.
- 35:08Yeah, you got a mushroom throttle at A at a flower pill
- 35:11100. And 10%, there is such a shift
- 35:14for these demons. I think Cassie, give me two D 10
- 35:19and we'll call this force damage 15 total.
- 35:24Out of D2D10. Yeah, I got a 10 and a.
- 35:26Five amazing. Damn.
- 35:28All right, I'm going to say 15 to all demons and none have
- 35:33resistances here. I did briefly think about
- 35:35driving toward Tentacle Boy. Wow.
- 35:39Well, you said. I mean, no, no, you.
- 35:41Had enough acceleration go through them but I won't I
- 35:44changed my I changed my fossil aura to a giant guppy fish
- 35:47that's already they eat the tentacle thing.
- 35:50Cassie, is there anything else? You were very, very generous
- 35:53with my stuff. Oh, the pilot action isn't your
- 35:56action. Oh well then I would like to
- 35:57cast a can trip. Absolutely, go for it.
- 35:59I would like to use druid craft to create a weather sensor
- 36:03that's going to be a tiny little orb that's going to predict what
- 36:07the weather will be at my location for the next 24 hours.
- 36:10But since my location is about to be moving, I'm hoping that
- 36:13weather shit flying through the. Sky I.
- 36:17See what you're going. Precipitation of demons they
- 36:20present chance of demon rain it's.
- 36:22It's just a little cricket on your dashboard that's like, and
- 36:25in this corner of the map we have rain precipitation of the
- 36:28chance of 73% and in this corner of the map we have internal
- 36:31fire. Stay out of the South today.
- 36:33So many tables I would say no, but this is this is some
- 36:36dominari craft give me in our kind of check along with that
- 36:39cantrip to see if you can alter the effects slightly and give
- 36:42you more of a heading in this under astral space. 18.
- 36:46With an 18 you plug into bricks rain matrix of what is around
- 36:52here and you I will say have a choice of where to head.
- 36:56All of them are based on reference points that you have
- 36:58around you that you can guess. Domi * Watchtower and two LS are
- 37:02small and closest, but there are a big landmass of the Lands of
- 37:06Fortune and the big landmass of the Lands of Favor that you can
- 37:10see in your Dominari craft. I gotta consult my friends.
- 37:15You can do so, and within your mind if you'd like to, on your
- 37:17turn here. Yeah, Cassie says.
- 37:19Team where are we going first? We're headed to a different
- 37:22domain I. Mean there's also the star.
- 37:24You could also try to like you're all wrapped up within
- 37:26this, but. Maybe Cassie communicates, lists
- 37:29out our options of what's nearby and also says or we can go up.
- 37:34I know it's ironic because I'm falling, but I think up is a
- 37:36good idea. We have to bring wish back down
- 37:39and we have to give the power back to the people.
- 37:42Up it is. Cassie doesn't have enough time
- 37:45to feel fully confident in this plan, but she spent enough time
- 37:48with Zen and Parable that their confidence is now her
- 37:51confidence. So up we go.
- 37:54Got to feel this power's got to feel.
- 37:55Good, a little bit like it. Feels great.
- 37:57Let's go find a God I don't know.
- 38:00Jess, did you do something to Brick?
- 38:02He's he's acting really weird. Yeah, he's teaming up with my
- 38:05star map. All right, Maya, what does my
- 38:08star map sound like? He's the weatherman.
- 38:16Weather map is like. Wow, wow, wow.
- 38:20Yeah, he's like he's vibrating. He's he's got a weird, weird
- 38:23energy coming out of him. It's okay, he's safe, you know,
- 38:26with our powers combined. Solving problems.
- 38:29By dinner time. I'm so hungry we should have ate
- 38:32before you. There guys, hang in there.
- 38:34We got a long rest, but we got food.
- 38:36Demons to eat? So, Fondre, could you make us
- 38:38dream food? I asked a cool man.
- 38:39He just says they don't taste very good.
- 38:41Taking care of the wishlins. They're all such newborns.
- 38:45Don't worry, I have been around. Sephy's going to be the the the
- 38:50chef bragging chef. Whip it up.
- 38:52With her fire breath. She is on this initiative, she's
- 38:55just not moving fast enough before the demons of Shadow move
- 38:59next as they drop off from the underbellies and are unable to
- 39:04hide from the lights. But one group overcome by a
- 39:08Thames power will take some damage as they tried to get past
- 39:11him. The other group, overcome by the
- 39:13insect plague, will be unable to move to a point where they can
- 39:17really do anything in this turn, even though they dash to try to
- 39:20get nearer. And there is a third group that
- 39:23is unaffected in moving. But let's deal with those
- 39:25attempt folks first. That's a deck save with the
- 39:28three on the die. They are definitely not saving
- 39:30and we'll be taking double damage here, so let me know.
- 39:35There's just 10 more damage left for a 10 before he disappears.
- 39:38Oh, just 10 more damage. Thank you.
- 39:40But. Again, it's still can be doubled
- 39:41though for the yeah, for the radio.
- 39:43Awesome, doubled to 20. All of these shadow demons are
- 39:47nearing their last leg as they take massive hits.
- 39:51Do you want to describe what this looks like for 10 as he
- 39:53rained blows down upon them? Yeah, I think he does the wish
- 39:56flick for the first group, looks at the rest, looks at me and
- 40:01just snaps loud enough to disappear and create like a
- 40:05Sonic boom from his fingers. Awesome.
- 40:07His departure is also the last of the damage that he lets out.
- 40:11So sick as he says. The breath of luck returns to
- 40:16his bottle, my friends. But I had fun.
- 40:19It won't be your last. Disappears into the bottle.
- 40:25So sick. And the bulk, of course, he's
- 40:27got an apartment style. Yeah, he.
- 40:29Can like, joke he's a it's a little little amp gets tiring.
- 40:31He's got a second home in the book.
- 40:32He can go read some things, you know?
- 40:34Yeah, he can read the whole book, which is weird.
- 40:36Good stuff y'all. Y'all are crushing what I really
- 40:39thought was going to be another incredibly difficult initiative.
- 40:42But the shadow demons aren't done yet.
- 40:43Some make it through and attack directly at you all.
- 40:47And Parable, I think you were the first one to move outward
- 40:50and into the group. Several attacks coming at you
- 40:53from the shadow demons as they drop in and flip towards you,
- 40:57using the flickering flame as if burned by the brighter spots
- 41:02that they accidentally tread upon.
- 41:03They use the light and its shadows to get as near to you as
- 41:08it can. They're like using each other
- 41:09and hiding each other's shadows. Splitting into one another and
- 41:12then jump at you, ready to strike with shadowy claws.
- 41:16Do I sense that they're concentrating on any magic?
- 41:18At all. They do not seem to be
- 41:19concentrating on any magic from their movement.
- 41:21It seems like the flight is a matter of natural ability.
- 41:25I will give me a wisdom saving here.
- 41:27It's going to be 3 of them actually.
- 41:29Three wisdom savings, Yes, 2429 and a 23.
- 41:38Holy shit are. You serious?
- 41:40Absolutely dead serious. Oh.
- 41:42My gosh. OK, I'm not even going to
- 41:44describe what would have happened because it like it
- 41:46doesn't even get near you. 10 rolls of shadows start to seep
- 41:49towards your mind as they flicker through the air as they
- 41:52reach toward you. What does it look like as you
- 41:53utterly dispel anything that could try to harm you in that
- 41:56moment? Looks like me spinning and
- 41:58whipping and cutting them with my golden luck blade as I fall.
- 42:02Awesome golden blade severing shadow as you cut across
- 42:06yourself and three attacks coming at you.
- 42:08The second being a Nat 20 is a 16 hit.
- 42:12A 16 Dean does not hit. Well, so just one of these will
- 42:16hits with it being a crit. I have a feat to turn that into
- 42:20a not crit. Or is that a different character
- 42:22I've played? That is a brick ability, but I
- 42:24believe it takes a reaction. You let me know.
- 42:27When you are, a creature you see within 30 feet suffers a
- 42:29critical Hick while you're wearing this armor.
- 42:32So it's brick. You can use your reaction.
- 42:34So it would be if the luck blade's been used.
- 42:36I don't think I have action economy.
- 42:37I think this is all happening in simultaneous moments.
- 42:40You have a choice that you make to send energy towards Cassie
- 42:43through the Luck blade rather than drawing energy into
- 42:46yourself as the shadow creatures swipe.
- 42:49Oh, because it's all happening at the same time.
- 42:50It's all. Happening at the same time.
- 42:51So you as a paladin obviously make the choice to send energy
- 42:54towards Cassie using your reaction and unable to turn this
- 42:58to not a crit. I think it's kind of like a
- 43:00martyr moment where parables falling and he goes, it's OK
- 43:04Brick, just let it happen. Cassie needs this.
- 43:06Be the distraction. Yeah, I'm falling at the time
- 43:09with the whole point. I'm like a little I'm.
- 43:10I am the bait. Please don't kill me.
- 43:12I already died once. We got you.
- 43:14That is going to be 46. Damn.
- 43:18How's he looking, I? Did insane on that.
- 43:21Damn. Oh my.
- 43:21Gosh, how many D eights was that total?
- 43:24AD 8. What's your Max HP?
- 43:26I'm at 76. OK, down to 30.
- 43:29I got you. I would have put Zen down to
- 43:31two. OK, noted.
- 43:35Parable just knows that again, he's just in a state of a Zen
- 43:38trance and he's, he's falling. Just lets it happen and just
- 43:41kind of twitches a little bit. As you get hit with this.
- 43:45This is all psychic damage, by the way.
- 43:47I'm used to it. Yeah, honestly.
- 43:49Yeah, he looks you. Trained for this.
- 43:51He looks the demons dead in their single eyes.
- 43:54Some with single, some with just shadow for her face.
- 43:57And as you look into them, you see some of your darkest fears
- 44:01and darkest thoughts as they shift towards you.
- 44:03They are more reflections upon whatever evil they can find
- 44:07within the world, and you see very little as they descend
- 44:11towards you and banish them away as best you can.
- 44:15But still, it's the psychic equivalent of a swordman's blade
- 44:19going through and cutting, and you feel the after effect as
- 44:23your mind breaks just slightly at that.
- 44:25But you felt this before as well, and you soldier on.
- 44:29Damn. That is going to be Next up the
- 44:32bottle breaker as the crew of the bottle breaker is
- 44:35experienced and ready to move as does anyone want to roll these
- 44:40attacks? We have three attacks as you
- 44:43hear Wish Beard yell out and says oy everyone get their heads
- 44:47down. We're giving them a piece of our
- 44:49mind with a silver shot cannon. You have no idea what that
- 44:52means, but three attacks are going to be coming out of the
- 44:54bottle breaker from the entirety of the crew including Wish
- 44:57Beard. Who wants to roll those?
- 44:59Why don't we eat trolling? Yeah, anything we're adding.
- 45:02That is plus 12 for a manga now for you Zen, plus 12 for a
- 45:07ballista from you Cassie, and plus 15 that is going to be the
- 45:11silver shot cannon. With a net 20.
- 45:13Fuck off. Damn, that's insane.
- 45:17Absolutely. That's incredible.
- 45:19I never rolled this. Well, I'm never putting this
- 45:21dice down again. OK, awesome.
- 45:23Where do you think these things aim?
- 45:26Do they aim for the shadow demons, the secret demons, or
- 45:29perhaps the cosmic horror behind you?
- 45:31I. Mean shooting at the cosmic
- 45:34corridor behind us and sending anything out into the Astro I
- 45:37think would only intend to cause it to chase a starter.
- 45:40The most creative thing I think of is I want to jump off one of
- 45:43these like cannonballs or something like that.
- 45:45So if I if if just with that, even if it's not my action
- 45:48coming parable was falling with the preparedness and if it's and
- 45:52I think he was either trying to communicate to wish beard to
- 45:55come scoop by or if he shoots like just underneath me, I move
- 45:58out of the way and. Like redirect it to.
- 46:01Yeah, it's like it goes through the ones in front of him.
- 46:04Maybe I just like change the direction with the luck played
- 46:06slightly. You hear specifically upon the
- 46:08wind as he like switches it is to an elemental channel to speak
- 46:12to you. I boy the trees in the way.
- 46:15Would you mind giving it a push? Just shoot it right at me.
- 46:19Wherever it needs to go, you best get it there as he.
- 46:22You feel in your mind's eye him shift a giant bottle corps at
- 46:27one end as he prepares. His fist is raised for a moment,
- 46:31and then a giant sledgehammer of stone forms from it as he glass
- 46:37shatters and a silver mass of intertwining elemental energies.
- 46:42It's it's a little cooler than a mento.
- 46:47Mento is pretty fucking. As an elemental cannon shoots
- 46:53out, you crit on. Oh my God, this might be a lot
- 46:57of dice. Really.
- 46:58All right, I try to hit the cannon energy or ball with my
- 47:02sword in a way that sends me into a direction towards the
- 47:06other group. So cool you use the backlash
- 47:09momentum of this massive pool of energy and use your essence to
- 47:13redirect it. Fuck with a crit that is going
- 47:16to be. Stick to your guns, Rob.
- 47:21Literally, pun intended. Oh my God. 18. -2 then doubled
- 47:2832D8D. 10. 32D10 I think we'll roll this digitally.
- 47:35And that's just one. Yeah, and that's just the first.
- 47:38One you should. Hit.
- 47:39I mean, should I? If he's shooting around the tree
- 47:43and we're doing this cool, like ricochet maneuver with the luck
- 47:45blade, should I send it at the big thing?
- 47:48If it's that much damage, should I send it out into the big
- 47:50thing? That thing is so big I think
- 47:54even 320 damage would like even Max damage would not kill it
- 47:59then. I want to use it to go through
- 48:00the demons and propel the whole domain forward.
- 48:04That would be a. Good idea.
- 48:06Absolutely. I will say that the the demons
- 48:08are also in a line. Give me.
- 48:10Can it be anime where like I absorb it into the sword holding
- 48:14it and then I just like swing it into another direction?
- 48:18Yeah, 7 deadly sins. Yeah you 100% just redirect it
- 48:23as you need. Many of the demons are in line
- 48:26to see how many you can capture. Give me, let's see, we've got
- 48:30applicable demons being 9 or so. Give me a roll on AD 6 + 1.
- 48:37That's what we'll say for the amount of demons that you're
- 48:39able to catch. The six are you?
- 48:41Oh my God. Did you have Wheaties for
- 48:43breakfast? I don't know what I did today,
- 48:45but apparently it's it worked so.
- 48:47Box. Heard that we got it a new box.
- 48:51And I have nothing in it tonight.
- 48:52There's nothing obstructing the dye.
- 48:55There's your problem. So dude, it's like, I'm just I'm
- 48:58sorry I'm so absorbed by this like anime moment of parable
- 49:01falling, collecting the energy and the sort of swiping it to
- 49:03the other side through these demons A so propelling the whole
- 49:07domain in a way like a Goku fucking super Saiyan blast
- 49:11cycle. I.
- 49:12Think in, in a moment, you, you don't reach like A10 size, but
- 49:17like I'd imagine like if you can feel the aura that attempt put
- 49:20out as if the golden energy emanated to a certain extent,
- 49:25yours is that if not bigger as you flare with your gin nature
- 49:30and send it one way into a mass of demons, six of them.
- 49:37We don't have to roll damage, but I want to.
- 49:39Yeah, Yeah, yeah. Would you mind?
- 49:41Yeah. Parable After he absorbs the
- 49:43energy, he says I I understand. And then he just says by my last
- 49:47breath and just sends the energy away and he rolls 32 click,
- 49:52click, click, click, click. Let's help the computer to the
- 49:55crash. I hope it does.
- 49:57Oh my God, that's 180 damage. Insane, obviously.
- 50:03They are decimated. They are destroyed.
- 50:06As it passes through them, you feel the entire domain shift as
- 50:10it leaves the bubble of the barrier.
- 50:13But between you and the barrier, nothing it survives.
- 50:19You feel atmosphere have to readdress the balance as things
- 50:24collapse back in for a moment as this energy is sent outward.
- 50:27I can imagine. Cast being like so fantastic
- 50:32y'all you are killing it and. Killing them, yes.
- 50:36Yes, a bitch. Sincerely so.
- 50:38OK, what about our cannons? Yeah.
- 50:41What was the manga now that? Was me, yes, Then 24. 24
- 50:45definitely hits. Where do you want to send it?
- 50:48Wow, I think you're near enough to the crew to to see them
- 50:53aiming it OK. They seem to be aimed at shadow
- 50:55demons with a manganel is like a similar to a catapult.
- 50:58It's going to fling a massive chunk of something at them and
- 51:01try to take them out from there. Zen trust some Zen's like you
- 51:04know. This is none of my business.
- 51:07No, I know, but. She'll she'll like just like,
- 51:10Yep, I believe, especially after seeing that, yeah, I'm like,
- 51:14whoa. As they aim at the shadow teams
- 51:17Actually give me an insight check here.
- 51:19Oh. 13. 13 is enough, I think. Akuma looks to you and says they
- 51:26aim for the shadows. We saw that they were resistant.
- 51:30Oh, to my pokes, to your pokes, to the insects.
- 51:33Oh. Oh.
- 51:36Then starts like waving her hands like no wait.
- 51:39As you do, 2 massive Willow tree branches start to.
- 51:41Wave. It helps you soon.
- 51:45And then I think she'll point like over to the.
- 51:48Cassie could probably instantaneously.
- 51:50Sort of, yeah. Take what she's concerned about,
- 51:53Cass. Light up the seekers by the
- 51:55edge, by the insects, and then she's gonna just kind of like
- 51:59with vibes, be like everybody, get out of the way.
- 52:03To the bugs, yeah. Like you guys did so good you
- 52:06can go they. They make a little.
- 52:08Circle target. Yeah.
- 52:10Oh my God. They like, yes.
- 52:13How do you redirect attention? What did you hit with that
- 52:15ballista 26? Yes.
- 52:16So you're also hitting as well. They seem to be aimed at shadow
- 52:19demons as well, because the shadow demons are just slower.
- 52:22So none of them are aiming for the secret demons which split so
- 52:24fast through the year. OK, Cassie communicates to wish
- 52:29Beard. Hi lass, how can I help you as
- 52:31luck with us? You've got to aim for the fast
- 52:33ones instead. I you think we can hit them?
- 52:36It doesn't matter, you'll only embolden the dark ones.
- 52:39You see within your mind's eye that 26 and 24 or whatever y'all
- 52:43roll upon fate and know that you'll hit them wish, Beard
- 52:46says. I regretted whenever I didn't
- 52:49listen to Soraya's voice, and I promise you, lass, I'll never
- 52:52regret not listening to yours. Too much power for Cassie right
- 52:55now. Way too much power A.
- 52:56Willow Bridge comes down and just nudges the cannon in a
- 52:59different direction and. One of the crew goes to move it
- 53:02and which slaps his hand away. You see ballista manganal send
- 53:08out and shoot out towards seeker demons rather than shadow
- 53:12demons. That is both definitely going to
- 53:14hit. For the ballista, that's going
- 53:15to be 3D10 damage, and for the manganal that's going to be
- 53:185D-10 damage. Awesome, the ballista rolled 19
- 53:21damage. Sick. 19 Wow they.
- 53:24Both rolled in awesome. You fully take out one of the
- 53:27secret demons that is zeroing in, as Witch Beard says last.
- 53:32There's there's no way we can be so accurate and all three
- 53:38attacks like take out just such a massive chunk of demons.
- 53:41Cassie says never tell me the odds.
- 53:43That yeah, that a girl. As the odds have for sure
- 53:48shifted as that is Wishbeard's turn proper along with the
- 53:51bottle breaker and Saphandria up next, who I think at this point
- 53:56will just stay with the Wishlins because if you're in that any
- 53:59sort of business could go down. She may have, if things were
- 54:02looking dire, entered the initiative, but instead that is
- 54:05just Raya up next who will look towards Parable having taken
- 54:09such a massive hit. She's like got her hand on your
- 54:12shoulder as Cassie. You relay what she can do, and
- 54:16she flies out from the tree and into the air to give Parable
- 54:21some healing. Amazing.
- 54:22Nice. I'm rolling more D8 for you this
- 54:25time. Yeah, it's time for good.
- 54:27And I I rolled well again. Yeah, that is going to be 19
- 54:33health back to you. That's three nineteens in a row.
- 54:36I'm just going to say it. Interesting.
- 54:38Back up to 49 and I think parable just says more inwardly
- 54:41says where did you first? This seems nice.
- 54:45Oh, it all comes out in the cosmic wash.
- 54:49I'm imagining the two cannons that you guys fired just like
- 54:51ricocheted off each other and like went to where they're
- 54:53supposed to be for no reason. Real quick, what is the?
- 54:57HP of our domain A. Very relevant question as it is.
- 55:00The cosmic horrors turn up. Wait.
- 55:02Next. Wait.
- 55:04Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Trees have HP.
- 55:06Yes, your landmass does, and it is. 2 million.
- 55:11No, you know what? I was going to put it at the
- 55:14base of 500, but instead I think I'm going to make it rollable.
- 55:20Everyone give me AD 100 and we're going to say 350 plus
- 55:28whatever you guys were 54400. So life I mean around the the
- 55:33nearest 64. Damn.
- 55:35OK. So we're we're at 450 area. 79.
- 55:40I think that definitely bops you guys up to the 550 range.
- 55:43I'm gonna do the soft math there.
- 55:45And yes, your domain as a entity where this cosmic core is a
- 55:50siege creature and could do double damage.
- 55:53Do your domain as it's it. Will this is the tentacle
- 55:56creature? This is the the massive tentacle
- 55:58creature that seems to be lurking within, well, space that
- 56:02you just see refracted through the domains barrier as it is
- 56:07massive enough to disperse large swaths of the Astral Sea as it
- 56:11courses towards you. It is going to use a legendary
- 56:14action at the end of Rye's term, of course it will.
- 56:16And then used another legendary actor prior to that to move 240
- 56:21feet. I rolled for how far it was away
- 56:24with 240 feet plus 100 feet of movement that it has.
- 56:27It gets within range, but we're. Moving also.
- 56:30You are, but I think. OK, just don't forget that.
- 56:32It's yes. Yes.
- 56:34And I and I propelled this further with the yes.
- 56:37That's that's very important. But I will say, having used all
- 56:40legendary actions and all movement, it is left with one
- 56:44option. It can't hit you with a
- 56:45tentacle, so it can't unleash its full might in that way.
- 56:49But like a predator, it has many ways to bring down it to prey.
- 56:53Are you about to get inked? You're about to get inked.
- 56:57Fuck. Not in the direct fashion, but
- 56:59you do feel you get psychically inked this thing.
- 57:04I don't consent. Not Yeah, none of us do.
- 57:08As this thing courses towards you, it's massive bulbous head
- 57:13seems to pulse with energy as if the waves around it seem to be
- 57:18dispersed as it creates a wake behind itself with simply the
- 57:21psychic energy that it sends out.
- 57:24And I, it breaks through the domain barrier and everyone give
- 57:29me a wisdom saving throw. Oh, Cassie, what is it?
- 57:3413. 3020 or 22 actually. A 20 does not save.
- 57:39A 22 does. Can't.
- 57:42Do math right now. What is 14 + 920?
- 57:45323 a 23 does save. Wow.
- 57:48Hey. Cassie with a 13 you will be
- 57:51taking full damage here. I take my hands off the
- 57:53controls. It's.
- 58:00Smooth. Kind of like driving over the
- 58:02railroad track. Great instinct to do so as you
- 58:05will be taking 6010 damage as you hear dreadful Red Bull
- 58:11whisperers within your mind if you do.
- 58:14He's within 60 feet of me. He is within 60 feet.
- 58:17I'm going to use my Charm of Balance from Mojo.
- 58:20What? When a creature you can see
- 58:22within 60 feet of you damages you, you can use your reaction
- 58:25to deal an amount of force or radiant damage to that creature
- 58:28equal to half the damage you take.
- 58:30Oh wow. God.
- 58:32OK. So bring it, bitch.
- 58:33Wow. Damn, it's so hot.
- 58:35Yeah. It's the first time I've been
- 58:38waiting for this. This is some badass shit with
- 58:41the starry form and just let's go of the helm.
- 58:46I'm realizing that I haven't attacked you a lot throughout
- 58:48the campaign and I bet listeners are like, he's been reluctant
- 58:51and I think I've just been subconsciously remembering this.
- 58:55Holy cow. Fuck I'm rolling so insanely hot
- 59:00tonight. Good. 42 damage OK.
- 59:03So 21 goes back. Dang, OK more importantly, what
- 59:09does this look like? You feel a wave?
- 59:12It's a predator that hunts with a negative star song.
- 59:17This has to spark something within Cassie.
- 59:20My first instinct it does not make any sense, but would be
- 59:23that the damage it's inflicting on me goes into my black hole
- 59:27and pops out somewhere near it in the universe.
- 59:30If you are a Dominari in truth in this moment as you accept
- 59:34your full power and become the stars enough to become a conduit
- 59:38to send this energy from once to where and you do so.
- 59:43What does it? What does it look like over by
- 59:45the tentacle thing? Looks like a massive tear in
- 59:48reality, most of as you look out into the eddies of Violet tinted
- 59:54astral tide, A darkness as if painted upon reality.
- 59:58It is so dark, this thing. It feels the same dreadful
- 1:00:01whispers upon it that it tried to send towards you.
- 1:00:05I hope it feels scared for future attacks that it's going
- 1:00:07to continue potentially like a intimidation check 9.
- 1:00:13It does seem to falter for a moment but continues on.
- 1:00:16And that is the cosmic order's turn.
- 1:00:20You have survived for now. And Next up, that is parable.
- 1:00:24Nice, I wanted to redirect myself with that blast towards
- 1:00:28the next group, so hopefully I'm hurtling towards that group.
- 1:00:31Totally 100% you're headed towards seekers or shadow
- 1:00:34demons. You think they're relatively
- 1:00:36near one another, but you probably want to pick one or the
- 1:00:39other. I'm gonna leave the ones in the
- 1:00:40insects, and I'm gonna say that when I blasted those, I got shot
- 1:00:43the other way towards sick. That's the way.
- 1:00:46Land ride the winds. Ride the winds.
- 1:00:50I do like kind of skate a little bit on the wind with my boots
- 1:00:53and I want to say by my last breath and summon the blade of
- 1:00:57the last breath with my pen blade and I want to start
- 1:00:59spinning like a top in the wind and I want to go straight
- 1:01:02through one of these. Motherfuckers.
- 1:01:03OK, cool. Absolutely.
- 1:01:04Let's see what's up. I have.
- 1:01:06I have updated the text of by my last breath.
- 1:01:08By the way, you'll notice that you can use two hit die without
- 1:01:11consequence. OK, using further will incur
- 1:01:15levels of exhaustion. You'll be at a disadvantage if
- 1:01:19you are to use more than that. But do what you want.
- 1:01:21I just did add guardrails everybody.
- 1:01:25Awesome. Yeah, but I'm just going to
- 1:01:26infuse my my blade with that silvery light and I'll roll to
- 1:01:30hit here. Let's see it.
- 1:01:32Damn that's that's not in that 20 but it's 18 on the die.
- 1:01:36Yeah, for sure, hits. For sure.
- 1:01:37Hits, yeah, that's a + 6 yeah. 2414 or damage.
- 1:01:44Sick. OK.
- 1:01:44Are you burning any? Oh.
- 1:01:47Yeah, that's two. I'm going to do 2, two, hit die.
- 1:01:49Cool. Awesome.
- 1:01:50And that is an additional 10 damage.
- 1:01:53Nice 28 damage all told. Swipes down into one badly.
- 1:01:59Are you stacking anything else on top of that?
- 1:02:01Because that's just your action, right?
- 1:02:03Yeah, I'm going to use a bonus action to smite.
- 1:02:06OK, sick. All right.
- 1:02:07And it's going to be, yeah, I'm going to do a third level Divine
- 1:02:10Smite. Sick.
- 1:02:12That's 25 more damage. Two points more than you needed
- 1:02:15as you smash into this. I will even let you leave as
- 1:02:19this is radiant damage, right? Yeah, I mean 25 damage doubled
- 1:02:22to 50. You drop one with 25 and do
- 1:02:26another 25 to one of the two remaining.
- 1:02:29I go right through the first one.
- 1:02:30You go right through the first one as your blade lengthens with
- 1:02:34golden light and pierces through the second one enough with
- 1:02:38essence as it comes back. Afraid of the light that touches
- 1:02:42it. You eviscerate these things
- 1:02:45just. One more down.
- 1:02:47Get Bush Beard's cannons back over here, but we'll hold them
- 1:02:49off. Blade transitioning from the
- 1:02:51silver of primordial energies to the radiant energies you need.
- 1:02:56You swipe these creatures down, yell to your allies, and that is
- 1:03:00going to be the secret demons up next.
- 1:03:03Difficult terrain. My insect friends are making it
- 1:03:07very hard for them. Yes and very importantly 2 of
- 1:03:11them are unable to really seek out their goal here, but there
- 1:03:16are two others that zero in on what they want.
- 1:03:21You see these two massive bulbous headed eyeball shaped
- 1:03:25creatures as they with many insect like legs fly and crawl
- 1:03:30through the air, reach the tree. They veer around and passed
- 1:03:35parable as parables tied up with shadow demons and head straight
- 1:03:39forward to Cassie. Cassie.
- 1:03:41That is going to be two Wisdom saving throws for me. 2823.
- 1:03:48They're going to burn a reaction each and put those out to
- 1:03:50disadvantage. Damn. 1714 fuck you.
- 1:03:57Damn. 17 saves the 14 does not, and as you feel so many clawing
- 1:04:03hands at your mind, you just got wrapped with psychic energy from
- 1:04:09a greater Eldore not to be messed with.
- 1:04:12And now these many little creepy crawly things zero in towards
- 1:04:17you. Cassie.
- 1:04:18With that failure, this creature magically and immediately learns
- 1:04:241 secret of its choice from your mind.
- 1:04:27OK. The secret it chooses is your
- 1:04:30mother's name. As it takes not just her name,
- 1:04:33but how she says it, it takes the intonation exactly.
- 1:04:38You can see that it captures so many times that you've said it,
- 1:04:41but so many times that your mother had said it, that it
- 1:04:43steals not only her name, the essence of her name, her true
- 1:04:48name. And as it's taken from you, you
- 1:04:50know that there could be nothing worse for a wizard.
- 1:04:54This thing steals that from your mind and has no more movement.
- 1:05:00Cassie has a steely resolve. What is it like as Cassie is
- 1:05:03based off against these obviously demonic creatures?
- 1:05:08Just the way they move seems with an intent to sully and
- 1:05:13corrupt. Because things have been going
- 1:05:14so well, she is a little emboldened by confidence in her
- 1:05:18comrades, and she has faith that this guy's probably going to be
- 1:05:22dead. And hopefully that returns this
- 1:05:24essence of this name to me and to the stars.
- 1:05:27As it takes that memory many, many, many memories, is there a
- 1:05:30singular memory that stands out where your mother said her name
- 1:05:34or you heard her name spoken in any sort of context that would
- 1:05:38have really burnt bright in Cassie's mind.
- 1:05:40I almost think it might be all the times that Cassie has heard
- 1:05:46people around town saying her mom's name instead, by the way
- 1:05:49that they say it when they don't think anyone of consequences
- 1:05:52around to hear it. It's kind.
- 1:05:55It's full of concern. But they wouldn't have been
- 1:05:58talking about Soraya if they knew Cassie was around.
- 1:06:01The sort of Cassie's absorption of how other people interacted
- 1:06:05with her mom, because she never really got to grow up enough to
- 1:06:08witness how other people interacted with her mom.
- 1:06:11There's something about the sound of the memory that escapes
- 1:06:15with this creature. This is one of the first moments
- 1:06:18that you truly heard Star Song. In this moment of kind of
- 1:06:21childhood clairvoyance, looking out at your mother within just
- 1:06:24the street as names are spoken, you see that the thing that it
- 1:06:28takes from you is her name spoken in Star Song
- 1:06:31specifically. Star Song is made-up of
- 1:06:34everything. It's how the universe observes
- 1:06:36you. And so in that moment as a
- 1:06:39child, Cassie was seeing that you aren't just a singular
- 1:06:42person. You are what everyone perceives
- 1:06:45you to be, and your mom was perceived well, especially in
- 1:06:48the light of the day amongst the people.
- 1:06:51As that thought strengthens you, this thing attempts to escape
- 1:06:55with a memory held dear to you. Yeah, but that belongs to me, so
- 1:06:59I'm going to go get it back. Yes, you will.
- 1:07:01And we also know that somebody loathes when things are stolen
- 1:07:05from Cassie, so we'll see if we get there.
- 1:07:09So. I was going to ask, dude, are
- 1:07:10we, we're connected in a way that we kind of feel this
- 1:07:12happen, Yeah. I would say so, or at the very
- 1:07:15least Cassie you can telepathy. Communicate it, Cass.
- 1:07:17Cass, stay away from Cass's song.
- 1:07:23Yes. So unfortunately, even though
- 1:07:26the other two seekers can't get to Cassie, they can put their
- 1:07:30direct, rotting gaze upon Parable and Zen.
- 1:07:34Parable and Zen, please give me Constitution saving throws.
- 1:07:37Was I supposed to take damage? There no, no, OK.
- 1:07:40Why did it want to know? Why did it want to know the
- 1:07:43name? An 8 for Zen. 8 as well.
- 1:07:48I don't get +2 right for. Me.
- 1:07:49Oh, we both get +2. That's what I was thinking up.
- 1:07:51It's nine. Yeah, not.
- 1:07:52Going to help. Not in this case.
- 1:07:55That is going to be 23 damage. Yeah, specifically necrotic as
- 1:07:59this thing looks into your soul and tries to bring out the worst
- 1:08:03in you to the surface, seeking your secrets.
- 1:08:07Be strong. But instead of pulling them out
- 1:08:10over saturating your mind with its energy to the point where
- 1:08:14you can't even look at on those days where you feel spinny, spun
- 1:08:17out with your own mind bouncing from thought to thought, memory
- 1:08:20to memory. Is that an Oasis?
- 1:08:24I think it's just everything on fire.
- 1:08:28For a moment you see the the flames, which have been
- 1:08:31controlled as by parables magic, extend and expand uncontrollably
- 1:08:36for a moment of dissolving the watering around you until
- 1:08:39everything around you is. Just flames.
- 1:08:42It's just. Flames your friends dissolve to
- 1:08:44ash. Destruction.
- 1:08:47Am I even alive? It's OK, guys.
- 1:08:49It's OK. Thanks, Ron.
- 1:08:53And that is going to be Zen up next.
- 1:08:56So we've got one of the seekers by cast.
- 1:08:59Two of them, actually. Two of them by cast.
- 1:09:01Yes. Two of them still out here.
- 1:09:03Messin. Yes, messin, messin.
- 1:09:06Fucking around. And they are out of the
- 1:09:08difficult terrain, so they are definitely going to be zeroing
- 1:09:10in. Right, OK, what Zen's going to
- 1:09:13do is fire off 2 Eldridge blasts at the Seekers that just hit
- 1:09:18her. So she's like you're not welcome
- 1:09:21here and she's going to just shoot out 2 Elder's blast and 1
- 1:09:25is a natural 20. And.
- 1:09:34Then she's going to roll again and hit a 1818, what, 21?
- 1:09:40Literally the amount of points it has left.
- 1:09:42Cool, so that one's dead and I'm going to drink it's absence.
- 1:09:46Absolutely. So she's going to absorb that.
- 1:09:48Really. Thank you.
- 1:09:49What is your Eldridge blast like?
- 1:09:51I've kind of Dominari Eldridge. You're 21 damage.
- 1:09:57Zen is like you want to see fire, you want to see flame and
- 1:10:01she'll just like the heat and just, it has like this red tint
- 1:10:05and it's just like a laser beam basically like.
- 1:10:08Straight up so good you see like your your flames for a second as
- 1:10:13they emanate out from you they are flame.
- 1:10:15But then at some point, they become more bar.
- 1:10:18Yes, a a clean line, a clean a straight bar of flame just
- 1:10:24penetrates the these secret demons straight through the eye
- 1:10:27till the point where it disintegrate isn't even the
- 1:10:30right word because it's just like molt.
- 1:10:31It liquefies. Yeah.
- 1:10:34This thing, this beam passes through it.
- 1:10:36Bye. You hurt the last of them quite
- 1:10:38badly, to the point where it is truly on its last legs.
- 1:10:42She's going to pull out her scimitar and just say it miss.
- 1:10:45And so it flights up in flame, which sheds bright light.
- 1:10:48So them shadow boys better be. Ready.
- 1:10:50So good. Wow.
- 1:10:51So cool. And then Akuma, I'm, I think I
- 1:10:54want to say Akuma, finish him. Or.
- 1:10:58You at least try, you know, just but everything you've got.
- 1:11:01I have a wood chip you've. All become so powerful.
- 1:11:04I'm not. Do you think I can?
- 1:11:06I'm only as powerful as I am because of you, Akuma.
- 1:11:10Catches the wood chip right before it hits the ground, turns
- 1:11:13towards the enemy flame and embers burning in his eyes and
- 1:11:18he he grows in size against the day that he saved you from that
- 1:11:26cloud long long ago. But this somehow more solid upon
- 1:11:30the world. And this will be a Dexterity
- 1:11:32saving throw DC. 15, yeah. 8 on the die will not save.
- 1:11:38For this thing, 15 fire damage. More than enough to end the last
- 1:11:45these secret demons on one side. The two on Cassie are still
- 1:11:48remaining, of course, but. Zen, like jumped up, one arm in
- 1:11:51the air. Yeah, Bernie's.
- 1:11:54I think the like Akuma's expansion is so much so that
- 1:11:57it's like Breath of flame 1st and then his jaws flows down on
- 1:12:04the last of these secret demons outside.
- 1:12:06That is going to be Cassie up next.
- 1:12:08Amazing, so there are two seeker demons near very near to me.
- 1:12:13Shittering like insects. And then two shadow demons just
- 1:12:18outside the tree. Just outside the tree.
- 1:12:19Well, I'm pretty pissed at these guys who are hanging out by me.
- 1:12:23Yeah, get that memory back. Boo.
- 1:12:24All right, I'm going to guiding Bolt.
- 1:12:27Yes. I'm going to roll the hit does a
- 1:12:3110 hit. A10 does not, but you do have
- 1:12:34Rya's prophecy die AD 8. You can add on top of that.
- 1:12:37I will try to use my prophecy. You'll need a 5 or higher on the
- 1:12:41die. Yep.
- 1:12:43Nope, missed, but I'm going to use bonus action healing word at
- 1:12:47a first level to give myself a little bit of juice.
- 1:12:52Do I need to take any actions to continue piloting the ship?
- 1:12:56You get a free pilot action. You guys could just maintain
- 1:12:59speed, but if you want to take any evasive maneuvers or try to
- 1:13:02move faster. I would like to try to move
- 1:13:03faster, OK? Awesome, so as you try to dash
- 1:13:06with the ship, give me a another Arcana check. 1616 will actually
- 1:13:11give you a little bit of move with increments of five.
- 1:13:13You give yourself just a little bit more than your base
- 1:13:17movement. Cool, you make some headway away
- 1:13:20from the cosmic horror behind you.
- 1:13:23Amazing. I'm going to continue using my
- 1:13:26tree telepathy to cheer on my my friends.
- 1:13:28Fantastic. And that is going to be Next up,
- 1:13:30the two shadow demons outside the tree who swipe down at
- 1:13:34Parable, who's standing in their way protecting Cassie from all
- 1:13:38things that might be stolen from her.
- 1:13:39That is going to be a couple of attacks here.
- 1:13:43I'm flying like a speeding bullet.
- 1:13:45Does that give them disadvantage?
- 1:13:50I'm gonna say no. That's my.
- 1:13:51Friend. Dang A7 and A21A natural 20 and
- 1:14:00A2 on the die. Can I use brick and change the
- 1:14:04crit into something else? Yeah, yeah, it's a non crit,
- 1:14:06sure. Yeah, yeah, awesome.
- 1:14:08Using your reaction to do so, you turn this Chris into a non
- 1:14:12Crick. What does this look like?
- 1:14:13I think it's just Brick getting in the way this time.
- 1:14:16I think, yeah, I think he's connected to this whole
- 1:14:18experience. Cass has connected him.
- 1:14:20He's in the place that he's supposed to be.
- 1:14:22This was like feels like his his path and what his meaning and he
- 1:14:26gets in front of parable. That's just brutal.
- 1:14:30OK, so it's. Brick No.
- 1:14:36Apparel. That's going to be 24 damage.
- 1:14:38Damn I have had two health. OK, I got you.
- 1:14:41That is going to be the crew of the Bottle Breaker who all of
- 1:14:46their weapons have to reload, but they do have the action
- 1:14:50economy to reload. One of the Manganel and one of
- 1:14:53the Ballista Silver Shot Cannon is not going to be shooting
- 1:14:56again, but give me those attack rolls with those guys.
- 1:15:00Natural 20. Right off.
- 1:15:02OK, that'll be 6. You.
- 1:15:03Deserved that 6010 from a bull of stuff.
- 1:15:06Give me shape that that that's coming from Cass and some.
- 1:15:09Yeah, she finally shook off the. The badge and grabbed the bolt
- 1:15:12with her mind like with the one of the Willow branches.
- 1:15:15That's what I was picturing actually.
- 1:15:16Just. Like swinging it towards what?
- 1:15:19Was that 6010? 6010.
- 1:15:21Nice. 32 Damn. See. 32. 32 damage.
- 1:15:31More than enough to drop one of the seekers outside.
- 1:15:34Nice. A Willow branch throw like I was
- 1:15:36saying. Or is there any more Cassie role
- 1:15:37play you want to add on top of this flavor?
- 1:15:39It's definitely flavored by the tree being connected and rooted
- 1:15:43into the helm. I think it definitely comes from
- 1:15:46from the tree's limbs. So cool.
- 1:15:48Yeah, I think maybe a couple more branches help to actually
- 1:15:50hold the secret demon steady as the.
- 1:15:56Through the Willow learned the wish.
- 1:15:58Flick, that is. Yeah, let's hear that Manganel
- 1:16:02next 20. 6. 26 definitely hits for sure.
- 1:16:06How many D10? That's going to be 5D-10 base
- 1:16:09for the Manganel. 25. Nice it.
- 1:16:14Is so close to dropping this one it is within just like a you
- 1:16:18know it's on its last last legs here, but 26 damage I think
- 1:16:22leaves it like as it gets bashed with this giant rock it it looks
- 1:16:26like it's kind of rebooting as it's it's eye can't focus
- 1:16:30looking and cussed as it wobbles around any other zin flavor you
- 1:16:34want to add on that? I think maybe just like the bugs
- 1:16:36had like come over to like make an air like a circle around it
- 1:16:40just to kind of make it apparent where the shadow is.
- 1:16:43That is going to be Wish Beard up next and I think to get there
- 1:16:48the bottle breaker actually has to move to like find an angle to
- 1:16:52shoot more into the tree as it takes out the secret demon that
- 1:16:56was just trying to leave the tree and away from Cassie.
- 1:16:59Luckily Wish Beard didn't have to help out with the reloading
- 1:17:01here and so he is going to also take a couple of pistol shots.
- 1:17:06I called him on his stat block as he basically just does like
- 1:17:10no bullshin finger guns in like the coolest way as.
- 1:17:15You see his hands spin. It don't it's much more like
- 1:17:18just like like the sling of an arm and the sling of an arm as
- 1:17:22you see 2 bolt of wish energy shoot out and he says my lady
- 1:17:27lock herself. I'll not let you have her
- 1:17:29daughter and you won't have her memories either.
- 1:17:31Your beard is so bright. It does glow as he moves to
- 1:17:34defend a daughter of a friend he held dear.
- 1:17:38Cassie daddy issues are flaring and.
- 1:17:42He will just hit with the first one.
- 1:17:44The Elstone declawed. You see what it looks like to
- 1:17:47protect someone. You gotta stop rubbing in his
- 1:17:50poor man's face. No, dig it in.
- 1:17:53And he will just hit with the second.
- 1:17:55Nice. Fantastic, I'm telling you.
- 1:17:59Pirates, man. They'll they'll, they'll make
- 1:18:01the day. Purple's like I'm in.
- 1:18:03I joined. You know what?
- 1:18:04I. Mean Bush hunter pirates.
- 1:18:05Says I get it now. Parable.
- 1:18:07Yeah. I told you they're amazing.
- 1:18:09More than enough damage to drop the last of this secret demon
- 1:18:13down as he sets his eyes on the shadow demons next.
- 1:18:17But he has not the economy to do more.
- 1:18:20That is going to be Next up Sophandrea who I think again
- 1:18:26will stick with the Bush lanes keeping them safe and Raya up
- 1:18:30next who strike at the shadow demons sending out two radiant
- 1:18:33shots. She looks towards using and says
- 1:18:37you made it a pure Bard, how do I do it?
- 1:18:39I kind of just clenched my butt cheeks really tight and hoped
- 1:18:42for the best. I Does she have butt?
- 1:18:46Cheeks. I do now.
- 1:18:53They're so cute, they're so good.
- 1:18:58Incredible it. Was so good it.
- 1:19:01Was clutch. Oh gosh, literally just hitting
- 1:19:04with two fourteens off a clench these shadow demons.
- 1:19:09Is she shooting one at each or two at 1?
- 1:19:12One at each. Probably here.
- 1:19:15What is this butt clench position?
- 1:19:17Oh no, what happens when you combine butt scoot with butt
- 1:19:19clench? Ohh no, I walked right into the.
- 1:19:29And. Flush.
- 1:19:30Ohh shit. That is going to be 13 damage
- 1:19:35doubled to 26 and then 12 damage doubled to 24.
- 1:19:39Yeah, these shadow demons, one gets hit and a big chunk of it
- 1:19:43comes off, she says. Like that.
- 1:19:44Or more like, you know, punches a little bit harder and sends
- 1:19:47out another and only melts the other one with radiant energy.
- 1:19:53Eviscerated. You got it.
- 1:19:55I haven't seen better aim in my life.
- 1:19:57You know, I've I've found myself quite a sponge, so I have to say
- 1:20:00it takes a good teacher for a good.
- 1:20:02Student lately it just tucks her hair behind her ear.
- 1:20:05Good teacher. You do have a press game.
- 1:20:13Did you learn that from someone? Don't do that.
- 1:20:17That is going to be Next up this cosmic horror, but this term,
- 1:20:21even legendary actions included, it does not have the movement
- 1:20:25with the the math of the legendary domain.
- 1:20:28You guys have about 300 feet of movement and only has about the
- 1:20:31ability to the math doesn't matter.
- 1:20:33You can't catch up y'all bye bye.
- 1:20:35That is going to be parable up next as you just hear cosmic
- 1:20:40screams within your mind as the echoes quiet.
- 1:20:45I throw my boomerang, no come back.
- 1:20:48It comes. Back just return things.
- 1:20:53I connect with Cassie and and Zen and say it looks like we're
- 1:20:58escaping from this grotesque thing on the horizon, but what
- 1:21:01do we have left? You have one shadow demon left
- 1:21:04and 1 secret demon that has Cassie's secret.
- 1:21:09Do you think Cass? Oh my gosh.
- 1:21:10You get the memory. You get the memory.
- 1:21:13All right, I will say that you'll take an opportunity
- 1:21:15attack from the shadow demon if you leave from it's shit.
- 1:21:19I'm gonna remember the wish drinker and I'm gonna do the
- 1:21:21same spin and I'm gonna kick off the demon next to me and I'm
- 1:21:24gonna misty step towards. Awesome.
- 1:21:27OK, so disengaging functionally getting away from this other
- 1:21:30attack, you misty step in and. Towards the tree to like a
- 1:21:34bullet changing direction. Something has stolen something
- 1:21:36from Cassie. Yeah, I'm gonna get that song
- 1:21:39back. As you strike in at this secret
- 1:21:42demon, what do you do? I scream copyright infringement.
- 1:21:48I think the tree actually opens for me and I come in through a
- 1:21:50different window, like a like just unexpectedly, and I just
- 1:21:54very gracefully kind of flip over, do an aerial.
- 1:21:56I slice it across the neck. Yeah, 100%.
- 1:21:58Let's see if the dice agree. 19 to hit. 19 hits.
- 1:22:03As he's startled when you pop in but takes a deep breath because
- 1:22:05she's just been in here with this thing and now she can
- 1:22:08really focus on flying. You see parable like first split
- 1:22:12second of the corner of his eye, just like in awe of what you
- 1:22:14look like. Well, and I'm in awe because I'm
- 1:22:16like, wow, who would have thought?
- 1:22:18Me trusting people. That's 13 for the first attack.
- 1:22:23Ends this one. Do you want to turn back to the
- 1:22:25shadow Demon? Yeah, I throw my pen blade.
- 1:22:28So sick. I made the movement to get back
- 1:22:30there, so I'll take the flavor of.
- 1:22:31Yourself for sure. Cassie, as this thing is trying
- 1:22:33to escape with your secret, is there anything that you say to
- 1:22:36parable or react in any way? It's tough because I, it feels
- 1:22:40sort of nonchalant not to. You know, maybe Cass has a
- 1:22:43feather in her cap because things have just been going.
- 1:22:45Really. I don't know.
- 1:22:46She's so emboldened by this new relationship with her mom that
- 1:22:49she's sort of like, yeah, that was never going to work, you
- 1:22:52dumb little dumb little dummy. I think the the thought of Wish
- 1:22:56Beard and his utter faith in the next step that seems to be
- 1:23:01foreseen by this this amazing wizard who especially lately,
- 1:23:06she's made herself known to you in a way that she was never able
- 1:23:09to throughout her days. And you trust that in this
- 1:23:12moment, even as the sing Yeah steals away.
- 1:23:15You can't steal what's mine. And it can't.
- 1:23:18And it does not, as Parable refuses to allow that to happen.
- 1:23:22He's very grateful to Parable. And also, again, the whole trust
- 1:23:25thing. It's like, wow, I met you how
- 1:23:26many days ago? Yeah, but I knew you were gonna
- 1:23:29come in. I knew you had it for me.
- 1:23:31I knew you had my back. I.
- 1:23:32Think it's like hearing not a wrong note, but a slightly
- 1:23:35discordant one in a song, and then trusting that when the
- 1:23:39chorus comes back around you'll find it satisfying.
- 1:23:41It's going to pay off. It's.
- 1:23:42Going to pay off and it does here as parables song joins
- 1:23:45yours as it goes comes in close and you're you reverberate off
- 1:23:50one another and it's the energy of your attack that separates
- 1:23:54this thing in 2. No one steals my friend's song.
- 1:23:58And you turn towards the Shadow demon next.
- 1:24:00Let's see that second attack roll.
- 1:24:03That's only a 13. A 13 unfortunately will not hit
- 1:24:06as it. This is at you with a shadow
- 1:24:11Maw, and that is going to be Zin up next.
- 1:24:14Zin has her blade of flame and is going to jump out of the tree
- 1:24:21at the shadow demon. Or hell yeah you are.
- 1:24:24Just runs past us and just leaps at this thing.
- 1:24:27I had this visual in my mind where the tree grows for one
- 1:24:30step, your broom sweeps in for the next step, and then it's
- 1:24:34just like arms and the stride midair as you fall towards this
- 1:24:39thing. Yes.
- 1:24:40So she's gonna take some swings. Bounce off of a papaya strung
- 1:24:45web string and do an amazing area.
- 1:24:48Bling, bling, bling, bling, bling.
- 1:24:49Kuma, you're right, demons suck. So she's going to hit 4.
- 1:24:56It's awfully fun, isn't it? We're about to find out. 17 to
- 1:25:01hit? Yes. 7 damage, 7 damage hurts.
- 1:25:05Plus that's an extra 3 damage. Nice.
- 1:25:09And I'm going to raffles mite so swing fire damage goes to swing
- 1:25:16again. Did she just smite?
- 1:25:19There is something about how she gathers energies that feels akin
- 1:25:22tears as she gathers energy upon her blade.
- 1:25:26I see you leave denses it insanely strongly and brings it
- 1:25:30down with pinpoint energy. Or is it?
- 1:25:32Yeah. Aldrich Smite.
- 1:25:33Oh, you're. Aldrich smiting.
- 1:25:34You're not wrathful smiting. No, I'm an Aldrich smite cuz
- 1:25:37yeah, cuz the with the pack blade yeah yeah.
- 1:25:40X-Men to pack magic spell slot to deal an extra 6D8 force
- 1:25:44damage. Fuck yeah.
- 1:25:45What? Bye.
- 1:25:47Yeah, I don't need. To do this.
- 1:25:48Do it. But I'm gonna.
- 1:25:49I'll tell you that. Yeah, you should.
- 1:25:52Yeah, I fuck. Yeah, so I think to Aldrich
- 1:25:58Smite Zin wants to like absorb akuma and just like for the.
- 1:26:06Devils, it's like horns grow. You want to see a demon?
- 1:26:11I was just. Going to say.
- 1:26:12For a moment he goes to your horn and takes his his most
- 1:26:16familiar place, and then he truly suffuses you.
- 1:26:20But the horn stays glowing red hot.
- 1:26:22Yes, this burning bright point where you 2 are burning hot, but
- 1:26:27that horn earns the brightest of the entire visage as you smash
- 1:26:32down with fiery energy. That the bar that you shot out,
- 1:26:36I imagine is now the blade that you bring down upon this then.
- 1:26:4224. I kid you not, you guys are so
- 1:26:45wild. That is the exact amount of.
- 1:26:47Really. And as it dies, she sucks in its
- 1:26:55energy. You're just floating on to
- 1:26:59standing on your broomstick as you land and just like.
- 1:27:02Yes. Through the strike and then the
- 1:27:03broomstick comes up like catches me and I'm like, yeah, back to
- 1:27:06the tree. There we will call it initiative
- 1:27:09and an amazing session. All you defended your domain
- 1:27:14shown wish beard that you are No, I got to think of a good
- 1:27:18word for amateurs in, well, space, new spacers.
- 1:27:21And you have shown that you are dominari, ready and willing to
- 1:27:26remember the people of these lands and take them somewhere
- 1:27:29else as you take a whole chunk of land somewhere else.
- 1:27:32We will find out where that goes next time.
- 1:27:35The trees fire just goes. And turns back and goes out.
- 1:27:39Yes, beautiful, back to normal. Any last notes before I read my
- 1:27:44stuff here? I think I, I think I would come
- 1:27:47in by cast and I would just sit down and put a hand on hers.
- 1:27:50Can we all come? Back in and like, sit in our
- 1:27:52helm. Yeah, and.
- 1:27:53Seat and hold on speed ahead. I I don't say anything.
- 1:27:56I just look at cast and I just nod.
- 1:27:58I look at Zen and I wink. And the tree grows even more
- 1:28:03accustomed to you as you all sit there.
- 1:28:06It continues to like, customize itself to what you need it to
- 1:28:09be. As you 3 regroup and regather
- 1:28:11after this fight, so too is the street.
- 1:28:13And it learns from how you do so.
