  SPEAKER_00: Sit back, stay hydrated, and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
• 0:50
  We have been on a bit of a hiatus with the holidays and it
• 0:54
  being sick season.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: But we are coming to you live now.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: slightly behind schedule, but that's all right.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: We are going to finish the one shot from some time past.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: We are down a player tonight due to said sicknesses,
• 1:14
  but we wanted to get a session out of here for our remaining
• 1:19
  party members and for
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: all of our viewers there at home and on the recordings.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: So without further ado, this is the final
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: session for the Shadows of Conflict.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: After some scientific tests and filling up on food and drink,
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: the group decided to investigate the caverns beneath the village.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Upon doing so,
• 1:45
  Nao Nook carries Mylan on his soldiers' shoulders and grasps
• 1:50
  Keevan by the belt,
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: using him as a human flashlight.
• 1:54
  They slowly explore the caverns until they come across a
• 1:58
  growing pool of slime.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: They cautiously proceed, only to get ambushed by an odd slime.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: They take it out, taking a few hits in the process, and proceed on.
• 2:11
  Eventually,
• 2:12
  they found an abandoned structure connected to this cave
• 2:15
  system.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: Exploring it,
• 2:17
  they found evidence of ritualistic activity as they made their
• 2:22
  way through the dark
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: and dusty corridors.
• 2:25
  They found what they did not know they were looking for,
• 2:28
  however,
• 2:29
  an active portal
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: One that they believed was connected to the astral plane.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: No, I got to the end of that and that's not the correct.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: I thought that was the correct one.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: So we're going to restart that because that was the wrong summary.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: That is what happened episode previous.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: They had since entered
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: the portal that was connected to the Astral Plane,
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: explored a little bit and had run into their employer,
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: who was not who he seemed.
• 3:15
  It's deemed as though he was working with other individuals to
• 3:20
  plan some sort of
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: covert strikes across Aetheros,
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: or at the very least,
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: across the kingdom of Ishanya.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: They immediately jumped into action entering combat,
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: taking on both their employer and a few of his henchmen.
• 3:43
  The commotion had thus brought forth the attention of some kind
• 3:48
  of extraplanar
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: dragon who was flying towards them at rapid pace.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Before the dragon was upon them, they were able to take down
• 4:02
  their former employer and his henchmen,
• 4:05
  and escape narrowly as they hop through the portal.
• 4:10
  And it begins to close behind them as the dragon just kind of
• 4:17
  snarls at them
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: through the closing portal.
• 4:22
  They are back in the ritual room now,
• 4:25
  and that is where we are going to truly pick up.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: Has anyone ever met a nice dragon?
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: They all always seem to be in such a bad mood.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: I know a dragon that was not such in a bad mood.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: I never met a nice dragon.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: I thought dragons weren't real.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: I mean...
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: Hobolds are dragons, aren't they?
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Or they like to call themselves dragons.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: It is what a... What a... An iguana is to a Komodo dragon, I suppose.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: About as closest to dragons as we've ever come, I suppose.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: Or at least either.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: We're in...
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_03: That was the fucker I couldn't think of.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_03: A bearded dragon to a Komodo dragon.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_03: Nah.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_03: You guys.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: That was... That was a dragon, and there's not supposed to be dragons.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: So... What are we supposed to do with that information?
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 6:00
  people say that there's not supposed to be dragons because most
• 6:02
  of the time
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: whenever anybody sees a dragon,
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: they usually end up dead.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: Prepare a scientific paper.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm smart enough to do that.
• 6:18
  So,
• 6:19
  would I need to make any sort of check in order to kind of make
• 6:22
  a determination here?
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: What do you want to determine?
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: If you can write a scientific paper on dragons?
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: I will check the grammar.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_03: Again,
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_03: I would...
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_03: Okay,
• 6:34
  so I would want to first do my best to record everything that
• 6:39
  has just happened,
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: and then I would want to kind of record this.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead and make a... That'd just be a history check.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: Then.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: And Mylan, what'd you want to do?
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_03: After this being silly, I said I would check the grammar.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: 24.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: I can draw the picture.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_03: I will draw a picture of the dragon.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: 24?
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: You very easily recall the events that just happened.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: Again, one minute of combat is ten rounds and six...
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: So each round is six seconds.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: You guys weren't in there for one full minute.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: So it was like, this is still short-term memory that you're relying on.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: But things were happening very quickly.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_01: I guess this would be able to as accurately,
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: and again,
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: as intelligently as possible,
• 7:47
  record what just happened so that people can read and discern
• 7:51
  it and whatnot.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's really easy for you to do.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Because it was a very short time span,
• 7:58
  you're very easily able to recall what happened now that you
• 8:02
  are not actively being
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: threatened.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: We'll take a few moments to write down everything that has happened,
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: making note of dragons being real.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Actual dragons, not just the kobolds that think they're dragons.
• 8:24
  Let's see.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: This is very insulting to kobolds right here.
• 8:30
  Like I said,
• 8:32
  I haven't met a nice dragon,
• 8:33
  haven't met a nice kobold,
• 8:34
  same diff.
• 8:37
  Mylan,
• 8:39
  you can make a sleight of hand or a performance check to draw
• 8:42
  the picture.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty decent rolls.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now Nook,
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: to help with your academic recollection,
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: Mylan draws quite an accurate depiction of at least the,
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: like,
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: forward-facing essence of the dragon.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: Now Nook looks at the drawing and just kind of gives an approving nod.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: sufficiently terrifying.
• 9:30
  Like,
• 9:30
  it's not perfect because it was a quick glance,
• 9:34
  but it gets the point across.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: There's definitely some human bones stuck in the back teeth.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: Now...
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_01: Back the way we came?
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: Question mark.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: Which way did we go?
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: Is there a note around here right now?
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: What's that?
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_03: Anything interesting around here?
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: you've explored all in here already,
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: so you,
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: like...
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously,
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: the ritual circle with all the ritual stuff that you're standing on,
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: there's various candles and,
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: like,
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: stones,
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: magic stones and whatnot around.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: The portal is now closed.
• 10:27
  as you are recording everything that just happened and having
• 10:29
  this conversation.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: So there's no more dragons snarling at you through a closing portal.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: Other than that, there's nothing really else of note in this room.
• 10:40
  Did I already try to,
• 10:41
  I guess,
• 10:45
  jot down what this magic insignia looks like?
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: No, you did not make a copy of the ritual circle that you were on.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: Did I do that?
• 10:57
  short and using you this isn't really uh that would be let's
• 11:04
  see so same thing uh
• 11:08
  either sleight of hand or performance for drawing i'm not good
• 11:22
  at either of these
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: but let's try a sleight of hand
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: The DC is not high because you're staring right at it.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to have to inspiration that because that is not any total.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, Mylan's got a plus two to sleight of hand, and she rolled a 19.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: All right, one more.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: That's much better.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: You're able to make a pretty good copy.
• 11:52
  to scale i should say you can't let you don't have a sheet of
• 11:55
  paper big enough to
• 11:56
  make it like the same size nope but to scale you're able using
• 12:01
  your intelligence
• 12:02
  you're able to scale it down and make it pretty proportionally
• 12:04
  accurate uh now nook
• 12:09
  will uh will finish that up he'll kind of nod uh in approval
• 12:15
  and then he will roll
• 12:16
  those up put them in his back pocket and then look back to the
• 12:19
  rest of the group
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_03: and
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's get the hell out of here.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: Is going back the way we came going to be safe?
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_03: Here's hoping.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_03: If there were any booby traps, we already stepped on them.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: What if he sent for reinforcements?
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: What if they're waiting for us?
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: What if Keevan's village is...
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: Not there anymore.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_03: Why are you pushing all this doom upon us?
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm feeling very doom-filled right now.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_03: We just faced a dragon.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_03: There's not much more terrifying to deal with today.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: We didn't face a dragon.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: We ran from a dragon.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_03: I saw it with my face.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: We survived a dragon.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what you're going to tell people?
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's exactly what I'm going to tell people.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: You survived a dragon?
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: And that's what you're going to tell people too.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to tell people nothing.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_03: You see this scar?
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_03: She holds up her arm and she's got like a cat scratch across her.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_03: Dragging.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_03: 18,645?
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what year it is.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Now it looks like the paper cut.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: A dragon of that size that we just faced would cut you in half, Mylan.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_03: It healed.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Hell, it would probably cut Nownook in half.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think he has the wherewithal or the fortitude to do that.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: I am quite dense, all right?
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: You watch yourself.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Keevon, it's your village.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 14:34
  The only thing that I really was ever worried about was the
• 14:39
  gentleman that you guys
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: threw over the side of the bridge.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: That's a throwback.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: To be fair, we didn't do that.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: That was our...
• 14:54
  employer that is conveniently dead now so how are we getting
• 14:58
  paid i mean i i can
• 15:04
  definitely recall that body going overboard because i went with
• 15:08
  it so oh you did
• 15:10
  yes you did go with it this scientific paper is going to earn
• 15:15
  us so much dough
• 15:17
  don't worry about getting paid is it or are we going to get
• 15:21
  thrown in jail for
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: heresy
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: You know what?
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: We'll figure that out when we get the hell out of here.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: And now I'm just going to start walking.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: You got to go this way, right?
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: I say we either go back or forward and I don't see a forward.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: The hell's over here.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: So you explored these rooms already?
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Like all these rooms?
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: So as a refresher, this room has a bunch of tattered like
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: beds?
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: You could call them beds.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: Or you could call it tattered cloth on a pile of hay.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: This looks like where people slept.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 16:15
  In this room was like a dining table with various rotting
• 16:20
  rations like food and
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: whatnot,
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: foodstuffs and whatnot.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: You're in just a corridor hallway right now.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Nook?
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: Or a corridor room, because this is a hallway.
• 16:32
  And then this is just like a connecting room with just four
• 16:35
  pillars in it.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_00: This is just like a storage closet.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is where you came in at.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then in here was another ritual-looking room.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: That's a big-ass storage closet.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's where all the henchmen make out.
• 17:07
  If you want to go back the way you came,
• 17:08
  you have to go back out into this room here.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, and then through this way?
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: You haven't explored down through this way yet.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_03: That's a door?
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: That's a door.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I...
• 17:25
  I'm going to do – can I ear the door to see if there's anything
• 17:30
  on the other side?
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: Make a – do a perception check.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:41
  If you're looking for something on the other side,
• 17:43
  do a perception check.
• 17:43
  18.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds quiet.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: Can I check and see if the door is locked?
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: That'd be investigation.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's 24.
• 18:15
  As you're putting even the slightest bit of weight on the door
• 18:22
  to see if it is
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: locked,
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: it opens up.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: So no, you can confidently say that the door is not locked.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: Nauna pushes the door open and just kind of readies an attack.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: You are threatened by nothing.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: The room is empty.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'll sheath my weapon.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'll motion for the rest of the group to follow.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: There's nothing in here, but keep moving.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: There are three doors right here.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: So right here, there are three doors.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: And there's a small stairwell that leads up to another door there.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: Let's start by checking these doors.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: Check this first one here.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: See if it's locked.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: Again, already at attack, and I will open the door.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: It is an empty, dusty room of some sort.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: I will then move down next door.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: Check to see if it's locked.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: It is not locked.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: I will ready an attack, and I will thrust the door.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: Again.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: There's nothing there.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: Keep going.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: Check to see if this one's locked.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: That one is also no.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we'll ready attack.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: Specifically, we're going to ready an attack with the executioners.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: Great.

  SPEAKER_03: There's some stairs here.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I will go up the stairs and then do the same thing.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: Check to see if the door is locked.

• 22:25
  SPEAKER_03: Rustling sound?
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_01: So there's at least one thing behind this door.

  I don't know what...
• 22:46
  Can I...
• 22:49
  Oh,
• 22:49
  can I help listen and try to identify it?
• 22:55
  Does it sound like bunnies in a hobble,
• 22:57
  or does it sound like zombie shambling?
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can make a perception check as well.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: Perception.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: 18.
• 23:17
  Definitely doesn't sound like shambling,
• 23:23
  but also doesn't sound like a small animal either.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_03: A medium-sized creature, then.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_03: It could be a beagle.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: Kivan and...
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: Oh,
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: Kivan,
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to have...
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to follow everyone else into the room that they're going in?
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: You.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: And then,
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: Demi,
• 23:58

• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: room?

• 24:27
  same space as now
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: nook you're a tiny though so that's fine
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Nook and Mylan, I need both of you to make dexterity saving throws.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_03: Dexterity.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_03: Ah, I'm going to inspiration that.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_03: That's it.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_01: We have throw points here, right?
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to use that.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: Bad inspiration.
• 25:08
  21 16 as you're both up listening at this door this giant thing
• 25:33
  slams through the wall
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_00: Thankfully,
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: now Nook,
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: you dive yourself back and Mylan,
• 25:47
  you kind of just roll off to the side as it destroys the door
• 25:52
  and the wall adjacent
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: to it and it's just now in this space.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: Can I attack it since I was holding an attack?
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yes,
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_00: because you succeeded on your saving throw,
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: you can make your held attack before we roll initiative.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, yeah, I think I said I was holding my pike.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_00: Pike.
• 26:16
  27.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: 27 hits.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead and roll damage.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, poop damage.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_01: 11.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but I think I can do a weapon mastery, right?
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, pike has... Push.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_03: Push.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_03: Can I try and push him?
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_00: Let me review that.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_03: It says if you hit a creature with the pipe,
• 26:50
  you can push the creature up to 10 feet straight away from
• 26:52
  yourself if it is large
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_03: or smaller.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_00: It is indeed large or smaller.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_00: Is there no... I don't see a saving point.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think there is either the way those work, but
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: We don't use those in the main campaign, so... Let's take a look.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: Let's consult the good ol' tools.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_00: Look at a pike.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_00: So there is no... saving throw.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's just part of that weapon attack.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: So ten feet away from you.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_00: Ten feet away.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_00: You can't quite go ten feet away because there's rubble and stuff there,
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: but it'll be like there.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_00: He kind of destroyed the rest of that area.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_00: It works for me now.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody needs to roll initiative.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_01: What is it?
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I don't want to fight it.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_00: It is one of the...
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: Humanoid creatures locked in those suits with the pink mist.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't realize we had those in the space.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, no.
• 28:48
  So this one looks like one of those humanoid creatures locked
• 28:52
  in the suits with the pink mist.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_00: However,
• 28:55
  not locked in the suit as parts of the armor have popped off
• 28:58
  its skin because it's
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_00: so large.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_00: And its skin looks scaly and hardened with a pink hue to it.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_00: Keevan got a natural 20.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that went through?
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I rolled that on the app on my phone.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it still comes through on the app.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, well, that's cool.
• 29:36
  That's how Critical Role,
• 29:39
  they use iPads or tablets when they're playing.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: So they're all always using the app.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: 26 total.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: It didn't add your bonus to me.
• 29:58
  it just said 17 straight out and i was like all right that's
• 30:02
  plus nine though did
• 30:04
  it add everyone else's does everyone else have their bonus
• 30:06

• 30:13
  nook you rolled a 14 no it's six plus eight so you rolled low
• 30:16
  myelin 10 plus two
• 30:18
  okay so yes everyone else has their initiative bonus added i
• 30:22
  just needed to go back
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_00: there and make sure all right
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: So at the top of the round is the trusty Bard Keevan with Demi on deck.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_00: Keevan.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry,
• 31:01
  I was trying to switch the Discord to voice activation so I can
• 31:06
  actually talk while
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm on the D&D app.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_00: I guess that would be helpful.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_00: So you are not quite in melee.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you can see the map or not.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_00: Not at all.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: No, so you're not in melee.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_00: You're about 15, 10, 15 feet diagonal away from the giant creature.
• 31:36
  um so using the app is difficult yeah you gotta switch between
• 31:49
  the tabs with the
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_00: drop down actions there it is jesus what is this oh
• 32:07
  uh let's see i am just going to aerobically play a little tune
• 32:25
  to hype everybody up
• 32:26
  and give them all bardic inspiration you're gonna give everyone
• 32:32
  bardic inspiration
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_00: You can only inspire one creature.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_01: Where is it?
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_00: As a bonus action, you can inspire another creature within 60 feet.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_02: I can't... At higher levels... Oh, so I can only give one person... Oh.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_00: One person per use.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 33:09
  If you want to try to give multiple people bardic inspiration
• 33:14
  at the same time,
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: we might be able to try something like that.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: Roll a performance check.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_00: Similar to making your own spells.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see what we can accomplish here.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_02: Skills?
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_02: Skills.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_02: Performance.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_02: Performance.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_02: Performance.
• 33:39
  I mean,
• 33:40
  you have a plus 17,
• 33:41
  so...
• 33:42
  Oh,
• 33:42
  geez,
• 33:43
  I am,
• 33:43
  um...
• 33:46
  I'm inspiring that.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_02: Even though it's a plus 17, I'm still not taking a two.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: Eh, that's a three.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: So... I'll just go with the... I'll just go with the dirty 20.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Dirty 20?
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_00: I will say it takes your action and bonus action,
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_00: but you are able to inspire your allies in this area.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_00: So let's do Bardic Inspiration.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone has a Bardic Inspiration.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_00: Do the D12.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_02: And that took everything I had,
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_02: so I'm just...
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_02: If I'm not already the last person that was walking through,
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_02: then I am going to run and hide behind everybody.
• 34:54
  So I'm going to move you back to...
• 34:57
  towards the entrance of this room then.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_00: And that would put you the furthest away.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_00: Demi, it is your turn.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_02: I am within melee, so... Yeah, just about.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_00: You could inch up maybe right on the corner and then, yeah.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna whack him up my sneak.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_00: Make your first attack roll.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, too.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_00: Are you keeping that?
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_03: No, I'm going to reroll that one.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 36:04
  They with plus 12 makes it 16,
• 36:06
  but I wasn't sure if you were keeping the four.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_00: I own that.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, does it hit or no?
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_00: The 17 will miss.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_03: Really?
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_03: Do I have any hero points?
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I do.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_00: You can't use a hero point after you know if it hits or misses.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, well, I guess I miss then.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_00: You can use inspiration if you know if it hits or misses,
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_00: but you can't use a hero point after you know if it hits or misses.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_03: Can I use my Bardic Inspiration?
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_00: No,
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_00: you can use a...
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_00: Actually,
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you can use Bardic Inspiration if you know the rule.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_00: Let me look at that real quick.
• 36:55
  You can use our normal Inspirations to reroll,
• 36:58
  but Bardic Inspiration,
• 37:00
  I...
• 37:03
  don't know.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_00: You could use the Bardic Inspiration.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_00: Is that the D6?
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_00: D12.
• 37:36
  Kivon's Inspirations are D12,
• 37:39
  so you just roll a D12 and add it to that 17.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_00: A 23 will hit.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_00: Finally.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to whack him again.
• 38:06
  SPEAKER_03: Go ahead.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: At least try to.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_03: That's a lot better.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_00: It hits.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead and roll damage.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_03: I'm too close to hit him with the crossbow, my bonus action.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_00: Are you a crossbow expert?
• 38:50
  You can hit him,
• 38:51
  but it would be at disadvantage because you are not a crossbow
• 38:54
  expert.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, as a monk, you can also...
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: Just make an unarmed strike.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_00: As a bonus action.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_00: I need to check.
• 39:22
  I don't know if you have to...
• 39:31
  Yeah,
• 39:32
  you can make an unarmed strike as a bonus action.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_00: since you took the attack action on your turn.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_03: Strike I can do?
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, an arm strike.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_03: Oh!
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_03: As well, I just punched myself in the face.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's if you keep it.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_03: Whatever.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_03: I'm good.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_03: I used all my stuff.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_00: A natural one, you're gonna... You hit him.
• 40:19
  But it's kind of like that punching stone feeling where it
• 40:21
  reverberates back up your arm.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't feel good.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_00: Probably broke a hand.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_00: Your next melee attack will have disadvantage.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_00: Are you going to do anything else?
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's now this thing's turn.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_00: See, let's see.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_00: It is going to step up here.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_00: It is going to attempt to slam its fist into you, Demi.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_00: I think a 19 misses you.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 41:50
  So you see you just punched it and like your hand still
• 41:55
  stinging and it you see its
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: hand coming at you to hit you and.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_00: You just you duck.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to then swipe at you now, Nook.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_00: Roll that one.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_00: That was a natural one.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Nook, that is a 29 to hit you.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_03: Actually, I mean, yeah.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_00: uh i'm gonna silvery barbs so i'll re-roll that would be a 21.
• 42:50
  ooh just barely hits okay yeah that hits okay so you take 11
• 43:02
  points of slashing
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_01: damage so that gets rid of my temp hp
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_00: And make a dexterity saving throw, please.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_01: I also give the... I give the advantage from the Silvery Barb to Mylan.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_00: On her next... What is that?
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_00: On her next strike?
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then you said dex save, right?
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_00: Dex save for you.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_00: How dexterous is the smart Goliath?
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_00: 22.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_00: 22 will succeed.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_00: So you see... You get hit with the one set of claws.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_00: And just... It doesn't feel good.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_00: But you see the second set of claws coming in at you.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_00: And you, like... You don't want to get hit again.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_02: Nope.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_00: So you duck and weave out of the way.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_00: This thing's big.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's lumbering.
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's not...
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's not the greatest of things.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_00: My Lin, I need you to make a strength saving throw.
• 44:29
  As this creature reaches the claw that just missed Nao Nook
• 44:34
  towards your head.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to inspiration.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_01: Not that it's my best roll or anything, but that's better.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_01: 19.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_00: That fails.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_00: You are, well, you have a bardic inspiration.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_01: I add what to that for that?
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_00: A d12.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_00: Roll a d12 if you want to use it.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we'll use it.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_01: Because we can't use it on damage, right?
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_00: No, it can only be used on anything, any d20 check.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_01: We'll use it.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_01: God damn it.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_00: You are... You still fail.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_00: You are...
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_00: Is it grappled at this creature as it picks you up by the head?
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_01: If it is picking me up by my head, I can still use my arms.
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_00: But when you are grappled,
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_00: You have a speed of zero.
• 46:13
  You have disadvantage on any attack that's against a target
• 46:18
  other than the one
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_00: that's grappling you.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_00: And you can get moved willingly by the creature that's grappling you.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_00: So yes, you can still attack it.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's not my turn though.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: Not yet.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it is then... Oh, sorry.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: Mylan, just a reminder, you have advantage on your first attack.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_00: It is then going to...
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_00: You see its...
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_00: scaly skin and its veins glow pink as it just releases this puff of mist.
• 47:10
  around itself for a moment so that puff of mist is going to be
• 47:22
  all of you gonna hit
• 47:24
  all of you because it is a very large radius i need everybody
• 47:35
  to make constitution
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_00: saving throws
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_00: 22?
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_00: 21.
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_00: Waiting for mylands.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_01: Any time now.
• 48:11
  SPEAKER_00: That one doesn't want to come through.
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_00: A five.
• 48:14
  SPEAKER_01: With a modifier of four.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_01: So a nine.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_01: A nine.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_01: I will use my another inspiration.
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_01: A spell.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, go ahead and re-roll.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_03: What else are they for, man?
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_00: Ophelia rolled a 18, a 21.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_00: Ophelia, let's see.
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_00: Ophelia is going to use a hero point on that.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_00: 18.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_00: So that's a 22. 22.
• 48:51
  SPEAKER_00: So we have Nanook with a 26,
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_00: Demi with a 22,
• 48:56
  SPEAKER_00: Keevan with a 21,
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_00: Mylan with a 21,
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_00: and Ophelia with a 22.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_00: Ophelia, Demi, and Nanook all succeed.
• 49:13
  SPEAKER_00: So Ophelia, Demi, and Nanook...
• 49:22
  each take seven point uh would take 14 points of psychic damage
• 49:27
  with that cut in
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_00: half so you each take seven kivon and myelin you both fail with the 21.
• 49:50
  so you each take 14 points of psychic damage and you regard
• 49:57
  this creature as a
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_00: friendly creature for the time being
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, hi.

  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's time to get back into the adventure.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_00: It is now Ophelia's turn.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see, what can she do?
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_00: So she is going to... do something wild.
• 51:51
  She's going to...
• 51:52
  So she can run between your feet now,
• 51:54
  Nook,
• 51:54
  and get up around here.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_00: And she is going to expend her Pact Magic slot...
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_00: It would be her last magic slot.
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_00: And she is going to... Actually, she doesn't have to expend it yet.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_00: She's going to roll to see if she hits this creature with her glaive.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_00: An attack roll.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so I'm moving her back.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_00: She's not moving up.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nook,
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_00: over your shoulder,
• 52:46
  you see familiar blasts coming in your direction as she fires
• 52:55
  three Eldritch
• 52:56
  SPEAKER_00: Blasts.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_00: First one's a 31, which hits.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_00: Second one's a 31, which hits.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_00: Third one's an 18, which misses.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_00: So two of the three hit.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_00: That'll be a 17 and a 9.
• 53:19
  SPEAKER_00: So that is 26 points of damage.
• 53:35
  SPEAKER_00: Now she's going to expend a act slot.
• 53:57
  SPEAKER_00: She's not going to do that.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_00: She's instead going to use her single use.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_00: Our word is done.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_00: It is not stunned, but it cannot move until the end of its next turn.
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Nook, it's your turn.
• 55:04
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to...
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_00: I screwed up my last turn completely.
• 55:17
  SPEAKER_00: I forgot that I had three attacks.
• 55:20
  SPEAKER_00: So there is that.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_00: Plus, I forgot that I had a whole bunch of other stuff.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_00: So we're going to do things.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it wasn't a full turn.
• 55:27
  SPEAKER_00: You just held an action.
• 55:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 55:30
  SPEAKER_00: You just held an attack.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_00: Remember?
• 55:32
  SPEAKER_01: Literally just the first.
• 55:33
  SPEAKER_01: This is literally just my first turn.
• 55:35
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 55:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 55:36
  So you were holding your glaive to make an attack if something
• 55:39
  came at you.
• 55:41
  SPEAKER_00: But you didn't have a full turn.
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, now I've got a full turn.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, so now you didn't mess anything up, but you never had a full turn.
• 55:51
  SPEAKER_01: I appreciate that.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 55:54
  SPEAKER_01: In that case, let us draw the... Yeah, okay.
• 56:03
  SPEAKER_01: So we're going to draw the Executioner's Great Axe.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 56:11
  SPEAKER_00: And we're going to attack.
• 56:16
  SPEAKER_00: I make a roll.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's a 31.
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's a 31.
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_00: That hits.
• 56:22
  SPEAKER_00: So first we'll do the damage.
• 56:25
  SPEAKER_01: So D12 plus 8.
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_01: 14.
• 56:32
  SPEAKER_01: Now, is this thing a humanoid?
• 56:40
  SPEAKER_00: Looks like a humanoid, but it is not classified as such.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 56:46
  So then if it's not a humanoid,
• 56:48
  then it doesn't take this additional 2d6 slashing damage.
• 56:54
  SPEAKER_00: But... Let me look at the wording.
• 56:57
  That executioner's grade X.
• 57:00
  You introduced it as humanoid looking...
• 57:02
  What?
• 57:04
  SPEAKER_00: The humanoid looking!
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 57:09
  SPEAKER_00: There's no wiggle room on the way that's worded, unfortunately.
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_01: Nope.
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_01: It's all good.
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um...
• 57:17
  SPEAKER_01: But I will use Hill Tumble.
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_01: So when you hit a larger,
• 57:22
  SPEAKER_01: smaller creature with an attack roll and deal damage,
• 57:25
  SPEAKER_01: you can give it prone condition.
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_01: No save.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_00: No save?
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_03: No save.
• 57:32
  SPEAKER_00: He is prone.
• 57:36
  Unfortunately,
• 57:36
  when he drops prone,
• 57:39
  Mylan,
• 57:39
  you kind of just flop down with his hand.
• 57:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 57:45
  SPEAKER_00: Like a dog holding a toy.
• 57:49
  SPEAKER_01: I did not mean that.
• 57:50
  SPEAKER_01: I'm fine.
• 57:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um,
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_01: now,
• 57:56
  SPEAKER_01: with,
• 57:56
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 57:57
  SPEAKER_01: with,
• 57:57
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 57:58
  SPEAKER_01: not a human,
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_01: that's...
• 58:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um...
• 58:05
  It's almost like the extended use of whatever this substance is
• 58:11
  has transformed its
• 58:13
  SPEAKER_00: physiology.
• 58:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, let's
• 58:25
  SPEAKER_03: I could cast a spell in place of one of my attacks.
• 58:34
  SPEAKER_00: You could.
• 58:37
  SPEAKER_00: You could also make both your attacks and cast a cantrip.
• 58:40
  Yeah,
• 58:41
  but at the same time,
• 58:43
  the cantrips would be a disadvantage because I'm so close to
• 58:47
  him.
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_01: So it's really just best to attack him right now.
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_00: So we will... Toll the Dead's not a ranged attack.
• 58:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's not, but then... It's 3d8.
• 59:02
  SPEAKER_01: Whereas...
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_00: Nah,
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_00: it's...
• 59:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's technically more...
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_00: If the target isn't missing any of its hit points,
• 59:10
  SPEAKER_00: it instead takes d12 and 7d8.
• 59:13
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 59:14
  SPEAKER_01: So then, yeah.
• 59:15
  Let's replace it with...
• 59:17
  Let's replace this next attack with a Toll the Dead.
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you can...
• 59:23
  SPEAKER_00: You can use,
• 59:24
  SPEAKER_00: if you don't cast another damaging spell,
• 59:26
  SPEAKER_00: you can cast your cantrip as a bonus action.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_03: Well, so I have this thing, War Magic.
• 59:34
  SPEAKER_01: The attack action on your turn,
• 59:36
  you can replace one of the attacks with a casting of one of
• 59:39
  your wizard cantrips
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_00: that has a casting time of one action.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_00: So you could do that too.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_00: So I gave him the first attack to hit.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_01: Humble them to prone them.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'll use this next attack of War Magic to cast a cantrip.
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, you said cantrip as a bonus action, right?
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_01: That I didn't cast a damaging spell.
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:00:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so then, yeah, let's do the bonus action cantrip real quick.
• 1:00:14
  SPEAKER_00: A wisdom saving throw, right?
• 1:00:17
  SPEAKER_00: At disadvantage, I think, because I think I have something else.
• 1:00:25
  SPEAKER_00: I have Eldritch Strike.
• 1:00:28
  SPEAKER_01: When you hit a creature with an attack using a weapon,
• 1:00:30
  that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it
• 1:00:33
  makes against the spell
• 1:00:34
  SPEAKER_01: you cast before the end of your next turn.
• 1:00:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'll make it at this.
• 1:00:39
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter.
• 1:00:40
  SPEAKER_00: His wisdom is minus two.
• 1:00:45
  SPEAKER_01: Cool.
• 1:00:46
  SPEAKER_01: So then roll damage?
• 1:00:50
  SPEAKER_00: That was a high roll.
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's a 17.
• 1:00:53
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's still a failure, but that was a high roll.
• 1:00:57
  SPEAKER_00: It was a 19 and a 20.
• 1:01:00
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, shit.
• 1:01:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, man.
• 1:01:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's still 17, so it still fails.
• 1:01:07
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so 3d12.
• 1:01:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:01:12
  SPEAKER_00: Because for total death, if it's taking damage, you get upgraded.
• 1:01:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:01:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's a nice little bit of damage.
• 1:01:24
  SPEAKER_00: Meh.
• 1:01:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then I still have two attack.
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_00: So let's do that.
• 1:01:34
  SPEAKER_00: Before I do that,
• 1:01:47
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to switch to the great sword.
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_00: And then we'll just make these two attacks with the great.
• 1:01:57
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, no.
• 1:01:59
  SPEAKER_01: So with the axe, how much damage did I do?
• 1:02:03
  SPEAKER_00: With the witch executioner's axe?
• 1:02:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:02:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:02:10
  SPEAKER_00: You rolled a 14 for 14 points of damage,
• 1:02:13
  SPEAKER_00: but the attacks seem to be slightly less effective than you would think.
• 1:02:23
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, because it gives me temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt.
• 1:02:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let me see.
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_00: The Executioner's Greataxe?
• 1:02:38
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 1:02:45
  SPEAKER_00: A humanoid you hit with this takes an extra two and you gain time.
• 1:02:49
  SPEAKER_00: I think that only happens when you hit a humanoid.
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, oh.
• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, you're right.
• 1:02:58
  SPEAKER_00: Because of the way it's worded, it's not a period, it's an and.
• 1:03:02
  SPEAKER_00: It is an and.
• 1:03:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, in that case, we'll just make one more.
• 1:03:08
  SPEAKER_00: That is strange wording, though.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:03:18
  SPEAKER_00: And you gain extra temporary hit points equal to the extra.
• 1:03:21
  So you'd only gain temporary hit points on the extra damage,
• 1:03:26
  not the full damage.
• 1:03:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:03:31
  SPEAKER_01: So then we'll just do one more great sword attack.
• 1:03:34
  SPEAKER_01: Since he's prone, this is at advantage.
• 1:03:40
  SPEAKER_00: That'll hit.
• 1:03:42
  SPEAKER_00: That's 31?
• 1:03:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:03:47
  SPEAKER_00: I want reset his HP.
• 1:03:51
  SPEAKER_00: But I don't think I can do anything else.
• 1:03:55
  SPEAKER_00: I end my turn.
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_00: Is that three attacks?
• 1:03:58
  SPEAKER_00: That was two attacks.
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_00: And a spell.
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_00: Your spell was your bonus action.
• 1:04:04
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, so... Okay, so then you have one more attack.
• 1:04:07
  SPEAKER_00: You have one more attack.
• 1:04:09
  SPEAKER_01: One more attack coming your way.
• 1:04:15
  SPEAKER_00: Which is probably going to hit.
• 1:04:16
  SPEAKER_01: Double natural 20.
• 1:04:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's Yachty right there.
• 1:04:25
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:04:26
  SPEAKER_00: You have a choice.
• 1:04:27
  SPEAKER_00: You can impose an effect or deal additional damage.
• 1:04:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're going to impose an effect.
• 1:04:33
  SPEAKER_01: I would like to crack the glass on his faceplate so that he cannot see.
• 1:04:42
  SPEAKER_00: So this one doesn't have...
• 1:04:44
  glass on his face on a face this one doesn't have a face plate
• 1:04:47
  uh this one is
• 1:04:50
  larger than the ones that now no not that now nook has faced
• 1:04:55
  but it is larger than
• 1:04:56
  the other ones from etheros that you have encountered as other
• 1:05:01
  characters uh and it
• 1:05:04
  doesn't have the armor it's just its skin is this hardened
• 1:05:07
  carapace that is glowing
• 1:05:09
  SPEAKER_00: pink
• 1:05:11
  would i be able to damage one of its arms or maybe flash it in
• 1:05:16
  the shoulder so that
• 1:05:17
  it had disadvantage on its attacks you want to try to grant it
• 1:05:20
  disadvantage do you
• 1:05:21
  want to injure it to grant it disadvantage on attacks yes that
• 1:05:25
  you can do you could
• 1:05:27
  also attempt to blind it it's just not cracking the glass to
• 1:05:31
  blind it it would be a
• 1:05:32
  SPEAKER_00: different like slashing its eyes or something
• 1:05:35
  Okay,
• 1:05:35
  yeah,
• 1:05:36
  then I would try and bring the greatsword across its face to
• 1:05:41
  blind it.
• 1:05:44
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:05:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, same results, different method.
• 1:05:46
  SPEAKER_00: But yes,
• 1:05:47
  SPEAKER_00: you can attempt to blind it if you would like,
• 1:05:48
  SPEAKER_00: or you can attempt to injure it in a way that cripples its attacks.
• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_00: So then some damage.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_00: So roll, you're going to switch it to flat damage, so roll flat damage.
• 1:06:06
  And then if you're going to blind it,
• 1:06:08
  we'll let the damage speak for that.
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_01: Flat damage, 17.
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_01: 17?
• 1:06:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that'll do it.
• 1:06:17
  SPEAKER_00: As long as it's not, like, really shitty damage.
• 1:06:20
  SPEAKER_00: So... He can be blinded.
• 1:06:31
  SPEAKER_00: So, dude...
• 1:06:40
  SPEAKER_00: And we're going to say he is.
• 1:06:48
  SPEAKER_00: You feel so you're you're you.
• 1:06:51
  SPEAKER_00: You take care of your weapons.
• 1:06:52
  SPEAKER_00: You know how to sharpen them and whatnot.
• 1:06:55
  Slashing him across the face feels like your sword grinding
• 1:07:01
  against stone.
• 1:07:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:07:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like it makes it,
• 1:07:06
  SPEAKER_00: it's kind of that like reverberation,
• 1:07:08
  like your sword's fine because you'd pull it back and just do a
• 1:07:11
  real quick glance.
• 1:07:11
  It's not chipped or anything,
• 1:07:13
  but that's just what his skin feels like when it's hit like
• 1:07:17
  that.
• 1:07:18
  Because you're doing a very deliberate slashing motion to blind
• 1:07:21
  him,
• 1:07:21
  right?
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_00: So you would feel that kind of reverberation in the handle.
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_00: Where's blinded?
• 1:07:27
  SPEAKER_00: There it is.
• 1:07:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to give him the blinded condition...
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_00: And he is blinded and prone because he's still technically prone.
• 1:07:43
  SPEAKER_00: He is.
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_00: But that is everything I can do.
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_00: I can't do anything else.
• 1:07:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:07:51
  SPEAKER_00: Let's take a look here.
• 1:07:53
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 1:07:54
  SPEAKER_00: What happened here?
• 1:07:56
  SPEAKER_00: I refreshed my page and he everything vanished.
• 1:08:00
  SPEAKER_00: There we go.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_03: I'm beneath a hand.
• 1:08:05
  SPEAKER_00: You are.
• 1:08:07
  uh it is your turn you are beneath a hand for one two uh you
• 1:08:13
  regard him as friendly
• 1:08:15
  currently this creature that has you by the head let me check
• 1:08:22
  the wording i believe
• 1:08:25
  it is until it's either until the end of your turn or until the
• 1:08:27
  start of its next
• 1:08:29
  SPEAKER_00: turn
• 1:08:37
  SPEAKER_00: Until the end of your turn.
• 1:08:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, can I try to get away?
• 1:08:41
  Because even if it's friendly,
• 1:08:42
  I don't want it to be holding me by the head.
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you can try to break the grapple.
• 1:08:49
  SPEAKER_00: So that would be an athletics check.
• 1:08:56
  I will give you situational advantage on this because he is
• 1:09:00
  prone and blinded.
• 1:09:19
  SPEAKER_03: I don't understand.
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_03: It was doing fine so far.
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_01: There we go.
• 1:09:30
  SPEAKER_00: So a 14 plus what?
• 1:09:32
  SPEAKER_01: Two.
• 1:09:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm going to add a hero point.
• 1:09:38
  SPEAKER_00: So it just happened to roll a 14 and a 2?
• 1:09:43
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, wait.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's right.
• 1:09:45
  SPEAKER_01: I have a modifier, don't I?
• 1:09:47
  SPEAKER_00: Three.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_00: Three.
• 1:09:49
  SPEAKER_00: So that would be a 17.
• 1:09:53
  SPEAKER_01: Three is so close to two.
• 1:09:54
  SPEAKER_01: I was thinking of just adding them together.
• 1:09:57
  SPEAKER_01: God damn it.
• 1:09:58
  SPEAKER_01: I suck today.
• 1:10:03
  SPEAKER_01: Can I do two or is it only one at a time?
• 1:10:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's only one hero point at a time.
• 1:10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's all I can do then, I guess.
• 1:10:20
  SPEAKER_00: He rolled a 21.
• 1:10:20
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not surprised.
• 1:10:26
  SPEAKER_00: So you are still grappled.
• 1:10:40
  You do have a bonus action because trying to break the grapple
• 1:10:44
  would be your action.
• 1:10:52
  uh can i just try again i guess then uh you can't try to break
• 1:10:58
  the grapple as a
• 1:10:59
  bonus action uh the only thing i think you could do is maybe
• 1:11:08
  wild shape into
• 1:11:09
  something that is too large for him to grapple like a bear can
• 1:11:18
  you wild shape into
• 1:11:19
  SPEAKER_01: a bear i don't know
• 1:11:21
  SPEAKER_00: What is your...
• 1:11:23
  SPEAKER_01: The first one that I used was...
• 1:11:26
  SPEAKER_00: Hey guys,
• 1:11:27
  SPEAKER_00: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_00: a comment,
• 1:11:30
  SPEAKER_00: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 1:11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks!
• 1:11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Raven.
• 1:11:36
  SPEAKER_00: I was using everything.
• 1:11:37
  It doesn't say how many animals I'm allowed to have in my
• 1:11:40
  quiver,
• 1:11:42
  so to speak.
• 1:12:00
  SPEAKER_00: It usually gives a... Yeah, I looked and I didn't see a number either.
• 1:12:08
  SPEAKER_00: PR rating.
• 1:12:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's really just limited by... Calendar rating.
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_03: It didn't give a number,
• 1:12:19
  so I assumed that perhaps the first one I picked was the one
• 1:12:22
  I'm stuck with.
• 1:12:24
  SPEAKER_00: No, so you can Wild Shape into any animal that you're familiar with.
• 1:12:29
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:12:30
  SPEAKER_00: The limitation is... Is... Usually the challenge rating of the animal.
• 1:12:44
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm now familiar with a dragon, so...
• 1:12:47
  SPEAKER_00: You cannot wild shape into a dragon.
• 1:12:50
  SPEAKER_03: Bollocks.
• 1:12:52
  SPEAKER_00: It is not a beast.
• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_03: This is a hunter.
• 1:12:57
  SPEAKER_00: So you know your beast form for this feature.
• 1:12:59
  SPEAKER_00: So challenge rating of one fourth at drew level eight.
• 1:13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Challenge rating one.
• 1:13:07
  SPEAKER_00: So challenge rating of one is your limit, which is what I thought.
• 1:13:12
  SPEAKER_00: So if you would like to do a bear.
• 1:13:15
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what that means.
• 1:13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Just the difficulty of the animal.
• 1:13:19
  SPEAKER_00: So you can do a bear.
• 1:13:22
  SPEAKER_00: Your strongest bear would be a brown bear that you could do.
• 1:13:25
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:13:27
  SPEAKER_01: Brown bear it is.
• 1:13:30
  Because,
• 1:13:30
  like,
• 1:13:30
  a polar bear and a cave bear are stronger than a brown bear.
• 1:13:34
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_00: Nook...
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_00: Actually,
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_00: everyone in here,
• 1:13:41
  SPEAKER_00: watch just little Mylan,
• 1:13:43
  SPEAKER_00: who's being held by the head,
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_00: just turn into this...
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_00: fucking beast of an animal.
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a rather large ball of fern.
• 1:13:56
  SPEAKER_03: Rawr.
• 1:13:59
  SPEAKER_00: And you have when you wild shape, you get 15 temporary HP.
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_01: Indeed.
• 1:14:08
  SPEAKER_00: So now there's just this bear next to you.
• 1:14:12
  SPEAKER_00: Mylin, you can still speak, though, so you are a talking bear.
• 1:14:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I will say,
• 1:14:18
  SPEAKER_00: upon doing that transformation,
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_00: the creature's hand is still on your head,
• 1:14:23
  SPEAKER_00: but you're not really grappled.
• 1:14:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:14:29
  I may need to refer to you for my beast's stats block in the
• 1:14:33
  future,
• 1:14:33
  but I'll try to find it.
• 1:14:37
  SPEAKER_00: That's fine.
• 1:14:39
  SPEAKER_00: Can you not right-click on it to just see it?
• 1:14:43
  SPEAKER_00: No, you can't, not as a player.
• 1:14:48
  SPEAKER_00: I can add it.
• 1:14:49
  SPEAKER_00: Let me see real quick.
• 1:14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Extras.
• 1:14:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to put it in your... here.
• 1:15:06
  SPEAKER_01: As bear, I can still stand on two legs and hold my staff, yes.
• 1:15:12
  SPEAKER_00: Your staff transforms with you.
• 1:15:14
  SPEAKER_00: So you don't have a staff.
• 1:15:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's uncomfortable.
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_01: Where did it go?
• 1:15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Magic.
• 1:15:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:15:28
  SPEAKER_01: And bear.
• 1:15:29
  All right,
• 1:15:30
  so in your extras on your character sheet,
• 1:15:32
  you should see the raven and the bear.
• 1:15:34
  SPEAKER_00: I added them to your thing.
• 1:15:36
  SPEAKER_01: Neat.
• 1:15:39
  SPEAKER_00: But if you need help, I can pull the thing up.
• 1:15:42
  SPEAKER_01: I probably just have to refresh it.
• 1:15:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's all you can do.
• 1:15:48
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to say you are not grappled anymore.
• 1:15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Tivan, it's back to you.
• 1:16:02
  SPEAKER_00: You also currently regard this creature as friendly for the moment.
• 1:16:29
  SPEAKER_00: What are you doing?
• 1:16:32
  I'm kind of in a pickle right now because everybody that's
• 1:16:36
  around me is my friends.
• 1:16:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:16:39
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not that you see your other friends as enemies.
• 1:16:42
  SPEAKER_00: You just see this one now as a new friend.
• 1:16:54
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, man.
• 1:16:55
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:16:55
  I've been trying to think of what to do for the last two rounds
• 1:16:57
  and I still can't figure it out.
• 1:16:59
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 1:17:02
  I'm going to come back out to the front of everybody and play a
• 1:17:23
  little ditty with...
• 1:17:31
  for the my because he's not a human humanoid looking thing
• 1:17:37
  monster i guess yeah and
• 1:17:40
  um like telling that he has nothing to worry about because he's
• 1:17:46
  my new best friend
• 1:17:47
  SPEAKER_02: and i'm gonna give him part of inspiration you're gonna give him part of
• 1:17:51
  SPEAKER_00: inspiration he's my new friend uh all right i'm gonna give him a part of
• 1:18:00
  SPEAKER_00: inspiration
• 1:18:09
  SPEAKER_02: And then...
• 1:18:15
  SPEAKER_02: I think that we aren't really fighting anymore,
• 1:18:20
  SPEAKER_02: so...
• 1:18:24
  SPEAKER_02: Do I have anything to drink on me?
• 1:18:26
  SPEAKER_02: If I do, I'll pull it out and start drinking, and that will end my turn.
• 1:18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Just like a beverage?
• 1:18:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, anything.
• 1:18:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 1:18:35
  you have like water and you got some like meat and ale and
• 1:18:40
  stuff from when you were
• 1:18:43
  SPEAKER_00: all chilling.
• 1:18:57
  SPEAKER_02: I don't really know what else to do.
• 1:19:01
  SPEAKER_00: So that's going to be it.
• 1:19:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I can say I'm saving my
• 1:19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Bonus action for nothing, really.
• 1:19:09
  SPEAKER_00: I can't do anything.
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_00: So, just... Yeah, that's it.
• 1:19:14
  SPEAKER_00: Really.
• 1:19:20
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:19:21
  SPEAKER_00: Demi, it is your turn.
• 1:19:22
  SPEAKER_02: I'm making tech.
• 1:19:49
  SPEAKER_00: 24 hit.
• 1:19:49
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead and roll damage.
• 1:19:58
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_03: Go back him again.
• 1:20:03
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
• 1:20:14
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to inspire that.
• 1:20:19
  SPEAKER_03: It probably doesn't hit, does it?
• 1:20:41
  SPEAKER_00: A 22?
• 1:20:41
  SPEAKER_00: Does not.
• 1:20:42
  SPEAKER_00: A 22 misses.
• 1:20:43
  SPEAKER_00: Are you going to do anything else?
• 1:20:49
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to unarmed strike him again.
• 1:20:52
  SPEAKER_03: Or at least try to.
• 1:20:53
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead and punch him!
• 1:20:54
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, I give up.
• 1:21:07
  SPEAKER_00: That one also doesn't hit.
• 1:21:09
  SPEAKER_03: Nope.
• 1:21:10
  SPEAKER_03: Oh shit, I love... Is he blind?
• 1:21:19
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, he is!
• 1:21:19
  SPEAKER_00: These would have advantage, actually, because he's blind and prone.
• 1:21:23
  SPEAKER_00: So, uh... You can take back that use of inspiration.
• 1:21:30
  SPEAKER_00: That first strike would miss with the 22, because it'd be a 17-20.
• 1:21:33
  Go ahead and roll another strike with your...
• 1:21:35
  another strike with advantage with your scimitar.
• 1:21:37
  SPEAKER_00: How do you do the unarmed strike first?
• 1:21:43
  SPEAKER_00: 21 misses.
• 1:21:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:21:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then you have another strike with your scimitar with advantage.
• 1:21:56
  SPEAKER_00: Roll a second one.
• 1:22:10
  Your scimitar gets stuck between the plates of his carapace for
• 1:22:14
  a second before
• 1:22:16
  SPEAKER_00: you're able to pull it back out.
• 1:22:21
  SPEAKER_00: Takes the rest of your turn, though, to pull it back out.
• 1:22:33
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
• 1:22:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think, uh, is it all you're going to do?
• 1:22:36
  SPEAKER_03: That's all I can do.
• 1:22:38
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:22:50
  SPEAKER_00: It is its turn.
• 1:22:51
  SPEAKER_00: It is blind.
• 1:22:54
  SPEAKER_00: It is going to use half its movement to stand up.
• 1:23:00
  SPEAKER_00: So it's no longer prone.
• 1:23:09
  SPEAKER_00: It is going to bonus action.
• 1:23:18
  SPEAKER_00: The cloud of pink mist gets released directly around its head,
• 1:23:23
  SPEAKER_00: and you just hear it take this big inhale.
• 1:23:28
  SPEAKER_00: And then all its veins and its eyes begin glowing.
• 1:23:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is essentially... Where is it?
• 1:23:53
  SPEAKER_00: Look at that.
• 1:23:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:24:02
  Now he is going to...
• 1:24:11
  Do these things again,
• 1:24:12
  but this is going to be at random.
• 1:24:19
  SPEAKER_00: So Demi is going to get hit with the slam.
• 1:24:21
  SPEAKER_00: 26.
• 1:24:24
  SPEAKER_00: So Demi, you take 18 points.
• 1:24:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you take 18 points of bludgeoning damage.
• 1:24:40
  SPEAKER_01: Was that a disadvantage?
• 1:24:43
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 1:24:45
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the reminder.
• 1:24:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's a 23. 23.
• 1:24:51
  SPEAKER_00: Damn it, I tried.
• 1:24:53
  SPEAKER_00: Still hits her.
• 1:24:54
  SPEAKER_00: So you still take 18 points of bludgeoning damage.
• 1:24:58
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to roll another D4 to figure out.
• 1:25:03
  SPEAKER_00: And we're just going in order because that's a two.
• 1:25:05
  SPEAKER_00: First one was a one.
• 1:25:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to swipe at you again now, Nook.
• 1:25:12
  SPEAKER_00: I forgot to click the disadvantage button again.
• 1:25:16
  SPEAKER_00: That's a 24.
• 1:25:21
  There's a 19 and...
• 1:25:25
  There's a...
• 1:25:25
  24 is a lower roll,
• 1:25:26
  because there's a 30 and a 24.
• 1:25:30
  SPEAKER_01: I can cash shield at a higher level, right?
• 1:25:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you can cash shield at a higher level.
• 1:25:47
  SPEAKER_01: Or can I use the higher level spell flop to cash shield?
• 1:25:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:25:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:25:53
  SPEAKER_01: I will use that.
• 1:25:56
  I will use my third-level stealth,
• 1:25:57
  the use shield,
• 1:26:00
  which brings my UC to 24.
• 1:26:03
  SPEAKER_01: 25.
• 1:26:03
  SPEAKER_00: So that'll miss.
• 1:26:10
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:26:13
  SPEAKER_01: What did you roll?
• 1:26:14
  SPEAKER_00: 24.
• 1:26:14
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I thought you rolled a 23.
• 1:26:17
  SPEAKER_00: My bad.
• 1:26:17
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:26:20
  SPEAKER_00: In case, no, I'm not casting shield because it's still going to hit.
• 1:26:27
  SPEAKER_01: So nothing I can do about it.
• 1:26:31
  SPEAKER_00: How much does shield add to your AC?
• 1:26:36
  SPEAKER_00: Five.
• 1:26:54
  SPEAKER_00: If you cast shield, the attack will miss.
• 1:27:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so sorry.
• 1:27:01
  SPEAKER_00: I thought I was... I didn't know I was muted.
• 1:27:03
  SPEAKER_00: But yes, I'm casting shield.
• 1:27:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:27:15
  SPEAKER_00: So yes, the attack misses you then with the shield and the disadvantage.
• 1:27:22
  SPEAKER_00: And then we're going to do...
• 1:27:28
  SPEAKER_00: Back to you, Femi.
• 1:27:32
  SPEAKER_00: He's just gonna swing in wildly here.
• 1:27:37
  SPEAKER_00: Disadvantage.
• 1:27:40
  SPEAKER_00: That is an 18, which we'll miss.
• 1:27:42
  SPEAKER_00: Especially because of his influence of the pink mist.
• 1:27:58
  we're just bouncing back and forth between uh demi and now nook
• 1:28:04
  disadvantage that's
• 1:28:07
  a 15 so that will miss is ophelia's turn and i have been trying
• 1:28:14
  to figure out what
• 1:28:15
  SPEAKER_00: to have ophelia do that will be creative and useful
• 1:28:33
  SPEAKER_00: She is going to... Yeah, that's going to be the best.
• 1:28:59
  SPEAKER_00: She is going to cast Hold Person.
• 1:29:05
  SPEAKER_00: on it, so it needs to make a wisdom saving throw.
• 1:29:10
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 1:29:10
  SPEAKER_01: now,
• 1:29:10
  SPEAKER_01: hold on,
• 1:29:11
  SPEAKER_01: because I was going to try that before,
• 1:29:13
  SPEAKER_01: but I thought hold person works on humanoid.
• 1:29:18
  SPEAKER_00: Is it only humanoids?
• 1:29:19
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't actually read the spell.
• 1:29:22
  SPEAKER_00: It was a humanoid that you can see within range.
• 1:29:24
  SPEAKER_00: Not that I can't do hold person.
• 1:29:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not a humanoid.
• 1:29:31
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to have to do something else.
• 1:29:34
  SPEAKER_00: Uh,
• 1:29:37
  SPEAKER_00: Her arcana's nine.
• 1:29:39
  SPEAKER_00: It would need to be hold monster to work.
• 1:30:18
  SPEAKER_00: She's going to Eldritch Blast again.
• 1:30:27
  SPEAKER_00: She's going to add her inspiration to that.
• 1:30:47
  SPEAKER_00: So the first one hits with a 28 with the inspiration.
• 1:30:51
  SPEAKER_00: The second one's a 26.
• 1:30:53
  SPEAKER_00: Third one is a 31.
• 1:30:55
  SPEAKER_00: So all three hit.
• 1:31:01
  SPEAKER_00: Eight points of damage.
• 1:31:02
  SPEAKER_00: 14 points damage.
• 1:31:05
  SPEAKER_00: So that's 22.
• 1:31:07
  SPEAKER_00: Another eight.
• 1:31:08
  SPEAKER_00: So that's 30 points of damage from Eldritch Blast.
• 1:31:18
  SPEAKER_00: And then she is going to attack on.
• 1:31:22
  She will use Hurl Through Hell again,
• 1:31:24
  so it needs to make a charisma saving throw.
• 1:31:31
  She's going to make an Arcana check because she's going to try
• 1:31:33
  something different.
• 1:31:44
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to use an Inspiration on that.
• 1:32:12
  SPEAKER_00: She's not rolling well.
• 1:32:16
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:32:23
  SPEAKER_00: The hurl through hell,
• 1:32:25
  which you guys have seen her do once before as the last
• 1:32:28
  Eldritch Blast strikes this
• 1:32:33
  SPEAKER_00: creature.
• 1:32:36
  SPEAKER_00: It vanishes.
• 1:32:40
  SPEAKER_00: I lost the spell now.
• 1:32:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's because it's technically not a spell.
• 1:33:04
  SPEAKER_00: Christmas saving throw.
• 1:33:13
  SPEAKER_00: 18, I think that fails.
• 1:33:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:33:42
  For a split second,
• 1:33:45
  you all see this creature just vanish through a fiery portal.
• 1:34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Except unlike last time, it doesn't immediately return.
• 1:34:21
  and then you see Ophelia Ophelia kind of just kneel down
• 1:34:27
  panting on the ground what did you do
• 1:34:44
  SPEAKER_00: I tried something.
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_00: I thought,
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_00: what happened if I extended a creature's stay in,
• 1:34:58
  SPEAKER_00: uh,
• 1:34:59
  SPEAKER_00: as it gets hurled through the hells?
• 1:35:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, usually it's temporary and they just reappear like they did in, uh,
• 1:35:12
  SPEAKER_00: when we were in that portal, but this thing's big and I want to go home.
• 1:35:27
  SPEAKER_03: Well, we don't need to be here if it does come back.
• 1:35:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, come back.
• 1:35:34
  SPEAKER_03: Lumber.
• 1:35:36
  SPEAKER_03: Lumber.
• 1:35:37
  SPEAKER_03: Lumber.
• 1:35:43
  SPEAKER_01: Are you okay as a bear?
• 1:35:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:35:53
  You might have to give me a push through the doorways,
• 1:35:55
  but we'll see how it goes.
• 1:36:00
  SPEAKER_01: Now Nook is going to wait a moment to see if that thing comes back,
• 1:36:03
  SPEAKER_01: and if it does come back in the next few seconds,
• 1:36:06
  SPEAKER_01: then he is going to shoot it.
• 1:36:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:36:15
  SPEAKER_00: It does not appear to be reappearing any time in the next few moments.
• 1:36:24
  SPEAKER_01: Gnauna cautiously shoots his weapon.
• 1:36:28
  You see just this,
• 1:36:30
  a little bit of black ichor leaking out of Ophelia's nose.
• 1:36:36
  SPEAKER_01: Are you sure you're okay?
• 1:36:37
  SPEAKER_00: That doesn't... This happens from time to time.
• 1:36:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's... I'll be fine.
• 1:36:47
  SPEAKER_01: Can I insight that?
• 1:36:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:36:50
  16.
• 1:36:55
  SPEAKER_01: She is telling the truth.
• 1:37:18
  SPEAKER_01: She just looks tight.
• 1:37:20
  Yeah,
• 1:37:21
  he narrows his eyes for a moment,
• 1:37:23
  but then kind of just waves it off.
• 1:37:26
  SPEAKER_01: Watch your nose.
• 1:37:28
  SPEAKER_01: And I will head up these stairs, check out this room.
• 1:37:36
  SPEAKER_01: Is there anything in here?
• 1:37:42
  SPEAKER_00: It looks like there's a lot of bottles of
• 1:37:48
  SPEAKER_00: Something scattered about, some broken.
• 1:37:51
  SPEAKER_00: There are some used syringes.
• 1:37:57
  SPEAKER_00: There's a bed with medical restraints on it.
• 1:38:08
  SPEAKER_00: There's a little journal on the table.
• 1:38:13
  SPEAKER_01: I'll grab the journal and I'll grab one of the unbroken body.
• 1:38:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I'll just kind of bolt my back.
• 1:38:19
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:38:21
  SPEAKER_00: The unbroken vial has like the slightest drop of substance in it.
• 1:38:28
  SPEAKER_00: Like residue.
• 1:38:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's enough.
• 1:38:34
  SPEAKER_00: You said you're just grabbing the journal and putting it in your pack?
• 1:38:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:38:37
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:38:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'll glance at it real quick just to see if,
• 1:38:41
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:38:42
  SPEAKER_01: to see what it says on the cover on the first few pages.
• 1:38:51
  SPEAKER_00: On the first few pages, it just says it has a bunch of dates.
• 1:38:57
  SPEAKER_00: And like it starts off with research notes and then a bunch of dates.
• 1:39:00
  SPEAKER_00: And then it says things like subject has been acquired.
• 1:39:06
  SPEAKER_00: Subject is less than a willing participant.
• 1:39:11
  And then further on in some of the most earliest entries,
• 1:39:15
  it says subject has begun.
• 1:39:21
  SPEAKER_00: Praving its treatments.
• 1:39:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Nanooka just wave it off.
• 1:39:41
  SPEAKER_01: That stuff in his bag...
• 1:39:54
  It does not look like there's a way out on this side of the
• 1:39:58
  underground building.
• 1:39:59
  SPEAKER_01: Where to next, Cap'n?
• 1:40:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh... Alright, so we keep this way...
• 1:40:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there doesn't seem to be another way out.
• 1:40:19
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I'll go back.
• 1:40:24
  SPEAKER_01: There wasn't a way... There wasn't any other way out.
• 1:40:29
  Do my bare senses give me any additional ability to sniff my
• 1:40:34
  way out of cave-y structures?
• 1:40:37
  SPEAKER_00: They do not, because you maintain all your original stats.
• 1:40:43
  SPEAKER_03: When a snooze, the bear knows it does something.
• 1:40:45
  SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
• 1:40:47
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 1:40:48
  I'm just investigating everything that I see right now to see
• 1:40:52
  if there's some sort
• 1:40:52
  SPEAKER_01: of passageway.
• 1:40:53
  SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
• 1:40:55
  SPEAKER_00: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 1:40:58
  SPEAKER_00: a comment,
• 1:40:59
  SPEAKER_00: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 1:41:01
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
• 1:41:03
  SPEAKER_01: A hidden passage, a trip, because I don't see a straight way out.
• 1:41:15
  SPEAKER_00: You can make an investigation check.
• 1:41:19
  SPEAKER_00: 20 cents.
• 1:41:31
  SPEAKER_00: Your best guess is that your best way back out is the way you came in.
• 1:41:39
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:41:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:41:42
  SPEAKER_03: Nothing else in here.
• 1:41:43
  SPEAKER_03: Going back.
• 1:41:45
  SPEAKER_03: This way.
• 1:41:47
  SPEAKER_03: And he will charge along.
• 1:41:51
  SPEAKER_00: Keevan, you no longer regard that creature as your friend.
• 1:41:59
  SPEAKER_01: But it's gone.
• 1:42:07
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I can fit through here.
• 1:42:09
  SPEAKER_00: You can't, not in bear form.
• 1:42:15
  SPEAKER_01: I'll wait for the one here.
• 1:42:18
  SPEAKER_02: Bearbutt stuck, blocking the entryway.
• 1:42:25
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I have to unbear.
• 1:42:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking here.
• 1:42:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking here real quick.
• 1:42:39
  SPEAKER_02: I can become a tiny bear?
• 1:42:40
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:42:42
  SPEAKER_01: Somewhere in between myself and bear.
• 1:42:51
  SPEAKER_00: She doesn't have a enlarged reduce.
• 1:42:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's okay.
• 1:42:56
  SPEAKER_03: I can just unbear.
• 1:42:58
  SPEAKER_00: So you turn back into gnome.
• 1:43:03
  SPEAKER_01: Rainy bear would be adorable though.
• 1:43:07
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, why is your party traveling with a teddy bear?
• 1:43:13
  You all come back up here,
• 1:43:16
  out to where you guys came into this underground structure.
• 1:43:25
  SPEAKER_00: Is there anything else you're going to do in this moment?
• 1:43:31
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:43:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm hungry.
• 1:43:36
  SPEAKER_02: There's nothing good down here.
• 1:43:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm good.
• 1:43:41
  SPEAKER_02: I just want to go home.
• 1:43:49
  SPEAKER_00: So you make your way back out the way you came in without much incident.
• 1:44:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like another slime appeared or something.
• 1:44:06
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing crazy happened.
• 1:44:13
  SPEAKER_00: You make it back to the rope.
• 1:44:18
  SPEAKER_00: So let me come up here.
• 1:44:19
  SPEAKER_00: So you make it back to the area you dropped down in, which was over here.
• 1:44:31
  SPEAKER_00: Like in this area.
• 1:44:40
  SPEAKER_00: So what are you
• 1:44:49
  SPEAKER_00: going to do?
• 1:44:49
  Are you going to just climb back up the rope or are you going
• 1:44:52
  to try something else?
• 1:45:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'll climb up the rope.
• 1:45:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'll check to see if it's secure.
• 1:45:06
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah.
• 1:45:07
  SPEAKER_00: You tug on it a few times, it feels pretty secure.
• 1:45:11
  SPEAKER_01: Myelin will climb up on his back like a little backpack.
• 1:45:21
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Nook, you'll have to make an athletics check.
• 1:45:26
  Okay.
• 1:45:33
  SPEAKER_00: You're able to climb up fine.
• 1:45:37
  SPEAKER_01: Even with backpack?
• 1:45:39
  SPEAKER_00: That's what the athletics check was for.
• 1:45:44
  SPEAKER_00: Ophelia kind of flies her way up.
• 1:45:47
  Keevan and Demi,
• 1:45:49
  are you going to be also climbing up the rope behind Naunook?
• 1:45:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:45:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'll be right at his heels.
• 1:46:12
  SPEAKER_00: Demi, are you following behind?
• 1:46:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:46:18
  SPEAKER_00: So you guys, it takes a few moments before you get back up.
• 1:46:32
  SPEAKER_00: You get back up and you're back out in the camp.
• 1:46:43
  SPEAKER_00: And no one's there.
• 1:46:51
  SPEAKER_00: It is empty.
• 1:46:54
  SPEAKER_00: Where is everybody?
• 1:46:55
  SPEAKER_01: Bones.
• 1:46:56
  SPEAKER_01: Were there bones there before?
• 1:47:00
  SPEAKER_01: Bones?
• 1:47:01
  SPEAKER_01: Bones.
• 1:47:04
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, in the moat, there was.
• 1:47:06
  SPEAKER_01: No, there's bones just in the grass.
• 1:47:16
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, those were there before.
• 1:47:19
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:47:37
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody in the circus tent.
• 1:47:41
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody in any tent.
• 1:47:45
  SPEAKER_01: Are there any drag marks or large, scrambled areas?
• 1:47:53
  SPEAKER_00: Make a perception check.
• 1:47:55
  SPEAKER_00: Can I help her?
• 1:47:57
  SPEAKER_01: Can I investigate?
• 1:48:01
  SPEAKER_00: You can do one or the other.
• 1:48:02
  SPEAKER_00: You can investigate or you can help her with the perception.
• 1:48:05
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to investigate because I'm very good at it.
• 1:48:07
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:48:09
  SPEAKER_00: So, Mylan... Perceiving.
• 1:48:12
  SPEAKER_00: Make a perception and Nana can make the investigation.
• 1:48:15
  SPEAKER_00: 26.
• 1:48:17
  SPEAKER_01: Or 22.
• 1:48:18
  SPEAKER_01: 22 and 26.
• 1:48:19
  SPEAKER_00: I read yours instead.
• 1:48:24
  SPEAKER_00: No drag marks.
• 1:48:26
  SPEAKER_00: No... Signs of a struggle or altercation.
• 1:48:29
  SPEAKER_00: No anything.
• 1:48:34
  SPEAKER_00: On a perception check, however... You do see... Off in the distance...
• 1:48:42
  SPEAKER_00: An Ishanian airship.
• 1:48:48
  SPEAKER_01: Is it coming towards us or away from us?
• 1:48:52
  SPEAKER_00: It is staying put about a few thousand yards away from where you're at.
• 1:49:07
  SPEAKER_01: So they were abducted.
• 1:49:12
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, what?
• 1:49:13
  SPEAKER_00: Abducted or arrested?
• 1:49:16
  SPEAKER_03: She points in the sky to show Nanook.
• 1:49:21
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 1:49:24
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 1:49:29
  I don't know how we can get up there right now,
• 1:49:31
  but either way,
• 1:49:34
  I think we've done enough.
• 1:49:36
  SPEAKER_00: And what else we can do here?
• 1:49:38
  SPEAKER_00: Keep on.
• 1:49:38
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 1:49:39
  SPEAKER_00: This is your place.
• 1:49:52
  it was only my place because I had a lot of people that were in
• 1:50:00
  the same situation
• 1:50:01
  as me but there's nobody here now and I don't want to end up
• 1:50:05
  like them sounds good
• 1:50:11
  SPEAKER_01: to me
• 1:50:11
  SPEAKER_01: Time for us to go.
• 1:50:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, how are we going to get home through the forest?
• 1:50:32
  SPEAKER_01: Also, if there's nobody here, we can snoop now.
• 1:50:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going in the circus tent.
• 1:50:39
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that is a good question.
• 1:50:41
  SPEAKER_00: How are you going to get home?
• 1:50:43
  SPEAKER_01: God damn it.
• 1:50:45
  SPEAKER_01: I was just sitting my snoop on.
• 1:50:51
  SPEAKER_01: Who said that?
• 1:50:54
  A imposing individual coming across the bridge with two
• 1:51:00
  war-forged soldiers in
• 1:51:02
  SPEAKER_00: front and two escorting soldiers behind him.
• 1:51:10
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, oh.
• 1:51:13
  SPEAKER_01: We're not here for fighting.
• 1:51:17
  SPEAKER_00: No, I assumed not seeing as you came out of the hole in the ground.
• 1:51:22
  SPEAKER_01: Do you happen to know where the other people of this enclave are?
• 1:51:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, they're on my airship.
• 1:51:36
  SPEAKER_00: You see, there was a distress signal that went out.
• 1:51:39
  SPEAKER_00: Of one of our stolen charter vessels.
• 1:51:46
  SPEAKER_00: And we tracked it to this area.
• 1:51:52
  SPEAKER_00: You wouldn't happen to know anything about that.
• 1:51:58
  SPEAKER_00: Or an individual masquerading as an Ishanian official?
• 1:52:06
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I think we killed him.
• 1:52:11
  SPEAKER_00: Do you happen to have proof of his death?
• 1:52:17
  SPEAKER_01: I took nothing, and I looked back to the rest of the group.
• 1:52:20
  SPEAKER_01: Did you grab anything off of him?
• 1:52:30
  SPEAKER_01: Nope.
• 1:52:31
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think so.
• 1:52:32
  SPEAKER_01: I don't remember.
• 1:52:36
  SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately... He was in the void.
• 1:52:41
  SPEAKER_00: So... Convenient?
• 1:52:49
  SPEAKER_01: But... Actually, it was incredibly inconvenient.
• 1:52:52
  SPEAKER_01: Have you been in a void before?
• 1:52:59
  SPEAKER_00: More than once, I'm afraid.
• 1:53:02
  SPEAKER_01: Then you know how inconvenient it is.
• 1:53:04
  SPEAKER_00: Very dry... Admiral Dorotier.
• 1:53:11
  SPEAKER_01: Admiral Dork.
• 1:53:13
  SPEAKER_00: I am in charge of Eshanian operations from airships.
• 1:53:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I would like to invite you all to join me on mine as guests.
• 1:53:33
  SPEAKER_01: Wait a second.
• 1:53:34
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
• 1:53:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to inspiration.
• 1:53:55
  SPEAKER_01: That's better.
• 1:53:56
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to hero point that.
• 1:54:09
  SPEAKER_00: Just trying to be real sure.
• 1:54:18
  SPEAKER_00: He is wearing the colors that you recognize as Ashanian military.
• 1:54:29
  He has the various accolades and stripes and insignias that
• 1:54:36
  denote a high-ranking officer.
• 1:54:40
  He does not seem to be deceitful at all,
• 1:54:50
  but he is extremely cautious of you all.
• 1:55:01
  I will sheath any weapon that I have,
• 1:55:04
  and I will,
• 1:55:07
  again,
• 1:55:07
  as cordially as I possibly can,
• 1:55:11
  SPEAKER_01: and non-threateningly say thank you.
• 1:55:14
  SPEAKER_01: We'll accept.
• 1:55:17
  You do,
• 1:55:18
  Nanook,
• 1:55:19
  recognize,
• 1:55:20
  and I believe you have the best history of your group.
• 1:55:24
  SPEAKER_00: You do recognize the name as he was involved many,
• 1:55:30
  SPEAKER_00: many years ago as a young captain in some of the
• 1:55:38
  SPEAKER_00: more decisive conflicts of the second war.
• 1:55:46
  SPEAKER_01: So Nal Nook would kind of narrow his eyes for a moment and say, Oh!
• 1:55:53
  SPEAKER_01: I've heard of you!
• 1:56:02
  SPEAKER_00: So you do believe me, then?
• 1:56:04
  SPEAKER_00: You're not going to continue...
• 1:56:06
  SPEAKER_00: eyeing me up suspiciously.
• 1:56:08
  SPEAKER_00: Apologies, apologies.
• 1:56:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean no offense.
• 1:56:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure you can understand.
• 1:56:15
  SPEAKER_00: You have to be sure.
• 1:56:17
  SPEAKER_00: I am well aware of that,
• 1:56:19
  SPEAKER_00: hence why I must be sure with you all having no affiliation,
• 1:56:24
  SPEAKER_00: no proof,
• 1:56:26
  SPEAKER_00: wearing no colors.
• 1:56:33
  SPEAKER_00: Not even a contract.
• 1:56:38
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I'm more than happy to explain everything.
• 1:56:42
  SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, is there food?
• 1:56:46
  SPEAKER_00: Ophelia just does magic,
• 1:56:51
  SPEAKER_00: like,
• 1:56:52
  SPEAKER_00: pull something out,
• 1:56:54
  SPEAKER_00: and the two Warforged draw weapons,
• 1:56:58
  SPEAKER_00: but he kind of holds his hand up.
• 1:57:00
  SPEAKER_00: She goes, oh, like, this contract?
• 1:57:03
  SPEAKER_00: Is this what you're looking for?
• 1:57:04
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 1:57:10
  SPEAKER_00: And she kind of just looks up over here and hovers it over to him.
• 1:57:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, regardless, it seems you all are stranded here.
• 1:57:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, there is food.
• 1:57:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I believe, sir, that your friend there...
• 1:57:36
  SPEAKER_00: had said he was missing some of his people that he was living with here.
• 1:57:40
  SPEAKER_00: They are safe on my ship.
• 1:57:43
  SPEAKER_00: They are not prisoners.
• 1:57:44
  SPEAKER_00: They were just brought aboard to make sure that they were okay.
• 1:57:50
  SPEAKER_00: And for us to figure out what was going on.
• 1:57:56
  SPEAKER_00: Their story combined with this contract here, your story checks out.
• 1:58:02
  SPEAKER_00: Still,
• 1:58:03
  I can get you home and get you some food and maybe we can sort
• 1:58:08
  out everything that
• 1:58:09
  SPEAKER_00: has happened together.
• 1:58:15
  SPEAKER_01: Be able to honor this contract?
• 1:58:23
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe not at this pay rate.
• 1:58:28
  SPEAKER_01: Excuse me, sir.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we did do quite a great deal.
• 1:58:32
  actually has information and he goes into his backpack and he
• 1:58:37
  takes out the,
• 1:58:38
  SPEAKER_00: uh,
• 1:58:39
  SPEAKER_00: the,
• 1:58:40
  SPEAKER_00: uh,
• 1:58:40
  SPEAKER_00: the notes that he wrote down regarding their encounter with the dragon,
• 1:58:44
  SPEAKER_00: as well as the,
• 1:58:45
  SPEAKER_00: uh,
• 1:58:46
  SPEAKER_00: the,
• 1:58:47
  SPEAKER_00: uh,
• 1:58:47
  SPEAKER_00: transmutation circles that,
• 1:58:49
  SPEAKER_00: uh,
• 1:58:49
  SPEAKER_00: that he found as well.
• 1:58:51
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 1:58:51
  SPEAKER_00: These can be very useful.
• 1:58:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now, information, information is very valuable.
• 1:59:01
  SPEAKER_00: Let me, let's, let's,
• 1:59:04
  SPEAKER_00: Let's discuss over food.
• 1:59:05
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go back to my ship.
• 1:59:07
  SPEAKER_00: We can discuss this over food.
• 1:59:09
  There is an individual that would be very interested in these
• 1:59:13
  findings on my ship.
• 1:59:18
  SPEAKER_01: Information as always.
• 1:59:21
  You will be well compensated for both your findings,
• 1:59:25
  your work,
• 1:59:27
  and your silence on the matter.
• 1:59:40
  SPEAKER_00: Iron Fist would not enjoy rumors being spread about.
• 1:59:45
  SPEAKER_03: Iron Fist?
• 1:59:56
  SPEAKER_00: You make a history check.
• 1:59:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 2:00:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, nope.
• 2:00:11
  SPEAKER_00: Is it almost a natural 20?
• 2:00:16
  SPEAKER_01: Rolled off.
• 2:00:18
  SPEAKER_00: Six.
• 2:00:30
  SPEAKER_00: From what you recall, very briefly is...
• 2:00:35
  There is an individual high ranking in the Ishanian government
• 2:00:45
  who is in charge of
• 2:00:47
  SPEAKER_00: all intelligence and public relations operations.
• 2:00:56
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:00:57
  SPEAKER_00: And that would be who this Iron Fist is.
• 2:00:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:01:05
  SPEAKER_03: potentially media relations and whatnot.
• 2:01:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's what he likes to tote himself to be.
• 2:01:17
  If you all would please come with me,
• 2:01:20
  I promise you will be safe and we'll get you back home.
• 2:01:25
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe even on a more reputable and permanent contract for the kingdom.
• 2:01:41
  Is there anything else you all would like to do before you are
• 2:01:44
  escorted back to this airship?
• 2:01:51
  SPEAKER_01: I don't like these city people.
• 2:01:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I got nothing else.
• 2:02:00
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think I got anything else.
• 2:02:05
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's it.
• 2:02:10
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's gonna feed us.
• 2:02:12
  SPEAKER_00: And pay us.
• 2:02:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:02:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:02:16
  SPEAKER_00: Please.
• 2:02:17
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 2:02:20
  SPEAKER_00: Then, uh... You can follow me and my guards.
• 2:02:25
  SPEAKER_00: We're not gonna surround you.
• 2:02:29
  SPEAKER_00: But, uh... Please don't try anything untoward.
• 2:02:35
  SPEAKER_00: I look at what's the thing that started casting about Ophelia or Violin?
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_01: I think it was Ophelia, right?
• 2:02:43
  No,
• 2:02:43
  she had pocketed the contract,
• 2:02:47
  so she pulled it out from where she pocketed it from.
• 2:02:50
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so I'm just going to look at her.
• 2:02:52
  SPEAKER_01: Look at Ophelia and say... It won't do anything...
• 2:03:05
  SPEAKER_01: Please don't.
• 2:03:12
  SPEAKER_00: He leads you off towards the direction of the airship.
• 2:03:16
  I don't see how these guys are any more trustworthy than the
• 2:03:19
  idiot who brought us here.
• 2:03:21
  SPEAKER_01: We don't know who he is or what he's done.
• 2:03:25
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know who these people are either.
• 2:03:26
  SPEAKER_01: It's trusting when I tell you they're quite capable.
• 2:03:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not here to hurt him.
• 2:03:36
  SPEAKER_01: capable of double-timing people.
• 2:03:44
  SPEAKER_01: Relax your little eyes.
• 2:03:51
  As you all walk off towards the airship under Ishanian Guard,
• 2:03:59
  you are brought aboard and...
• 2:04:05
  SPEAKER_00: Begin your negotiations and closing of this would-be job and legitimizing
• 2:04:17
  SPEAKER_00: yourselves as higher-tier mercenaries.
• 2:04:25
  SPEAKER_01: Higher-tier, okay.
• 2:04:30
  SPEAKER_00: And with that...
• 2:04:32
  that will bring this one shot to a close a little shorter than
• 2:04:41
  normal but it is a
• 2:04:44
  good stopping point here and it doesn't reveal too much of the
• 2:04:48
  secrets of what is
• 2:04:49
  happening thank you all for tuning in this evening we hope you
