Transcript
- 0:19Welcome back to Smooth Critical. I'm your DM, Avni.
- 0:23Hey, quick question. Avni, are you OK?
- 0:25Avni, are you OK? Are you OK?
- 0:28I'm gay as in happy, but also gay because we just met some
- 0:34totally lesbian orcs, right? So shout out to my community.
- 0:40OK, wow, no cheers from you guys.
- 0:42That really says something just like I'm going to edit that
- 0:46silence so it stretches so long we're.
- 0:50Going to release an episode that's just that during pride
- 0:53month, can we? Can we get us just doing coughs
- 0:56each so you could add that into the silence?
- 0:58Yeah, here, let me let me hear each of you do a little cough
- 1:00right now. He might.
- 1:02EW, Harry, Charlie. OK, so he might as well.
- 1:09Definitely the grossest. I don't know what that was.
- 1:12You might like threw up in his mouth.
- 1:14I was channeling. Bunty, Yeah.
- 1:17That's actually that that's that's Sylvina coming out.
- 1:20That's his reaction to hearing about a lesbian.
- 1:23Her reaction to hearing about a lesbian.
- 1:25Yeah, Sylvina sometimes bleeds through.
- 1:27Oh, let's. Don't say that.
- 1:30Just like who's the man if there's two women it.
- 1:34Was like I said, all the tabaxis look the same.
- 1:40OK, well let me Jesus Christ, let me introduce my three
- 1:46gorgeous gladiators. He my.
- 1:49Hi, it's Abe. The voice is so good, Harry.
- 1:55Font of Willowind, So fucking excited for a new arc.
- 1:59And Charlie? Beau.
- 2:01Also excited for a new arc, although I did end up enjoying
- 2:04the last one very much despite death.
- 2:08Not mine, but you know. Literally it was centered on
- 2:11death and tobaxis. Yeah.
- 2:13Yeah, Death and Tobaxis. Incredible episode name.
- 2:15We're going to have to call that episode 11 also Death and Death
- 2:192 Tobaxis 2 two Death 2 Tobaxis, actually.
- 2:23Yeah. Two death, 2 Tobaxis.
- 2:25Somebody write that down. OK, let's start our recap
- 2:29though. So still reeling from Abe's
- 2:31death, the three of you took some time to decompress and
- 2:34catch up at Drummond's house. Remington turned out to be at
- 2:37the match and saw Abe die, leaving Drummond to step out and
- 2:41kind of take a beat. You all had some time to discuss
- 2:44what Abe learned from Sylvira and maybe put together some
- 2:47pieces. Bond filled in the blank on his
- 2:50warning prayer to this mirror and got a permanent plus one to
- 2:53religion. You then spoke to Drummond and
- 2:55Peshwari and Beau convinced them to work together.
- 2:58Peshwari as mayor and Drummond as deputy mayor.
- 3:02Drummond made a very convincing speech, mostly because he agreed
- 3:05to tax the rich, and then Harry and Charlie had to roll D1
- 3:09hundreds to see if they would win the election, and they did.
- 3:14Peshwari and Drummond won with an overwhelming 84%.
- 3:18After some celebrations, Abe spotted Cloard and told him to
- 3:21do better, to which Cloard just stuck his middle finger up at
- 3:24Abe. You can't fix everyone.
- 3:27Then you talk to Drummond, who gave you some gold and the map
- 3:29to the Horde but warned you of the weird goings on.
- 3:33In Velrin's comments, he showed him Egrex's wrench form, and he
- 3:37hypothesized that if Vox were to be anywhere, he couldn't have
- 3:41gotten further from maybe Ember Holder or Ash End if he was
- 3:46moving really quick. Drummond also confirmed Abe's
- 3:49memory of halflings with pocket watches embedded in their hands,
- 3:52but he said that they could blow nick shards.
- 3:55He said he thought he heard the halfling say that they were from
- 3:58a village called Solely N, which is outside of Moss Reach in
- 4:02Silvorum. Rex Shari then had a little chat
- 4:04with you all to thank you and let you know her two orc
- 4:07merchant friends would take you to Emberhold to on and trash.
- 4:11The two orcs welcomed you aboard the s s Flame Rider and that's
- 4:16where we are now. So let me give you a little
- 4:18description of the boat. You see that the vessel is
- 4:21pulled up against the dock, it's silhouette wavering slightly
- 4:25against the rising heat. It's a medium sized boat, about
- 4:2950 feet long, built long and low rather than tall.
- 4:33A single mast rises straight from the center, rigged with
- 4:37thick sails that hang ready to catch the updrafts rolling off
- 4:41the lava. At the back of the ship, a
- 4:43sturdy wheel sits on a slightly raised platform, giving whoever
- 4:47steers it a Clearview ahead. Everyone give me a perception
- 4:51check. That part's called the pink
- 4:53deck. Thank you, Charlie, you would
- 4:54know. It's a unnatural 20. 13.
- 4:58That's a six. OK, Bo, you don't see this, but
- 5:02Bon and Abe, you see that the ship and the sails have this
- 5:05faint magical orange glow around them.
- 5:09Do either of you want to give me an Arcana check?
- 5:12Sure. Sure.
- 5:14Bo, you're just laughing about the poop deck.
- 5:17Yep. 22. Yeah, not good.
- 5:20It's a 12. OK, Bon, you have heard about
- 5:25this before, especially since you've travelled from Ember
- 5:28Holds to Scenario. You've had to cross the lava
- 5:30river. You know that each ship has to
- 5:33have some sort of protection against the lava river.
- 5:36They have something in them called a fire flow core.
- 5:41And what it does is that it protects the ship from the lava
- 5:45and it kind of redistributes the heat.
- 5:47So when you're on the boat, it actually gets quite hot because
- 5:50the heat is kind of getting pushed upwards towards you guys,
- 5:53but it keeps the boats from burning up cool.
- 5:56So the deck is kind of open concept, like how millennials
- 5:59and I like open concept. Ropes are coiled neatly, cargo
- 6:04is secured tight under a small covering, and there's a section
- 6:07towards the front that has kind of been reinforced and
- 6:09partitioned off. Holding two horses, you catch
- 6:12the faint scent of fruit and warm wood in the air.
- 6:16Come aboard, welcome upon our ship, Tan says.
- 6:20Thank you. Flame Rider.
- 6:22I hardly know her. I bet you wouldn't know our
- 6:25ship. We're actually not that big.
- 6:27We're just kind of getting our way as merchants and we we
- 6:29really hope to set ourselves apart.
- 6:31So I hope one day everyone will know her.
- 6:34Yeah. OK, well, there's a ramp on the
- 6:39side if you want to walk your horses up.
- 6:41Please come join us. Abe just died twice today.
- 6:47She definitely knew the joke and was familiar with it, but just
- 6:50ignored it for our sake. We go tie up our horses in the
- 6:55stables. Yes to on lead you to where the
- 6:59horses are and she says it might be a tight squeeze, but you know
- 7:03horses are friendly creatures. I'm sure they'll be OK.
- 7:06I'm just going to go help trash set up the the rest of the ship
- 7:09and and then we'll have a little talk real quick.
- 7:11Yeah. Do you guys need any help?
- 7:13I. Used to work on a ship.
- 7:14I I I know my way around a sailboat.
- 7:17Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:19And I don't know anything about any of this stuff, but I could
- 7:21like tinker wisdom stuff if you want.
- 7:23She seems less enthused about that bow, but she turns to Bon,
- 7:27AKA Benin, which I'm going to have to remember everyone's name
- 7:32real quick. Bow is.
- 7:35Ollie. Ollie V Garden Bon is Benin.
- 7:39Ben and Jairus. And Abe is.
- 7:42Babe. Oh, babe, yeah, of course.
- 7:46I. Forgot and and Bunty is Dave and
- 7:48Buster's OK cool. So Taan turns to you and goes
- 7:53Benin. I would love if you could help
- 7:55me that that would actually be really great all.
- 8:00I'll go untie that knot if you want.
- 8:02Just give a look at sure, no, no, no, no, no, no, that not
- 8:04supposed to be there. Just if you take off that knot,
- 8:07the whole mainsail will fall and then I'll have to spend another
- 8:11hour rigging it up. So maybe or do you have good
- 8:13eyes? Are you good at are good at
- 8:15looking out and keeping? No, but I'll do that.
- 8:17OK, just do it anyway. It really doesn't matter.
- 8:19Just hands to yourself and use your eyes only.
- 8:23I have. I have good eyes.
- 8:24Oh, OK. Yeah, babe, you go with Ollie
- 8:27and you take Dave and Buster's and just all of you just
- 8:30lookout. That would be.
- 8:31Awesome, no untying knots. Is there a lookout above the
- 8:35mainsail? There is a crow's nest above the
- 8:38mainsail. It's not like the a super tall
- 8:41ship to begin with, so it's not that high up.
- 8:44But there is a crow's nest, but she did not tell them to go
- 8:47there. I think we're both going there.
- 8:49Oh, OK, So you're climbing OK, It's.
- 8:53OK, they're, they're really good at that, actually, both of them.
- 8:56OK, well, I mean there is like a ladder.
- 8:58So as long as you're you stick to it, I'm I'm sure it'll be OK.
- 9:03I just is. There space enough for both of
- 9:04us up there. It'll be tight, but as long as
- 9:08you're OK being pushed up against each other a.
- 9:11Little bit Bo Bo loves being touched.
- 9:15Weird. Weird thing to say.
- 9:16Also, who are you? Who are you talking about?
- 9:19Ollie, Ollie, Ollie. You got this one, buddy.
- 9:21Ollie, Ollie. I don't know where that came
- 9:23from to be honest. All right, I I pull her away.
- 9:27Well, obviously somebody who is named Beau loves to be touched,
- 9:32and that person is not me. But anyway.
- 9:34Yeah, I was thinking of my late sister Beau.
- 9:39Your your late sister. Yes.
- 9:42I'm really sorry to hear about your loss.
- 9:44Thanks and also whatever. OK, All right, well, Ben and you
- 9:53come with me, let's let's just start finishing rigging up this
- 9:56stuff. Maybe actually you can help me
- 9:58untie the boat from the dock. And she turns to you and asks
- 10:02you to give her a sleight of hand to untie that rope.
- 10:04OK, can I do proficiency since? Yep, since.
- 10:08This is way back to sailing, yeah?
- 10:11And a, we're both trying to climb the ladder at the same
- 10:13time, yeah. That is A9.
- 10:17You haven't sailed as a merchant in quite a while.
- 10:20So you kind of are trying to untie the knot and you see that
- 10:25she's tied it super well and she goes over to you and puts her
- 10:29hand on your back and goes. All right, Benin, you also want
- 10:33to go to the crows nest. I think I'll just kind of figure
- 10:35this out by myself, if that's OK.
- 10:37No. No, no, I can.
- 10:38I can do it, I swear. I sorry, it's just been a while.
- 10:41I'm rusty. It's OK, you used to sail.
- 10:44Yeah, I, I was, I was a crew member on one of Narix's ships.
- 10:49Wow, Narix. Wow, big name really just coming
- 10:52out here swinging with that big name as.
- 10:55An emergency. He's got.
- 10:56He's got many ships. You know, I, I wasn't was just a
- 11:01crew member. I was a crew hand for a while.
- 11:03Gotcha. Yeah, as you're talking to her,
- 11:05she's on tying the knot by herself.
- 11:07And she's like, yeah, Trish and I, we had thought about maybe
- 11:12joining some of those big crews, but, you know, sometimes I feel
- 11:17like our we're orcs, right? Our big demeanor kind of scares
- 11:20some people away. And honestly, we just like
- 11:23spending time with each other. So we thought, hey, like, what
- 11:25the hell, Let's just get ourselves a boat.
- 11:27Let's save some money and let's, yeah, let's do this thing, you
- 11:31know? I mean, I guess I have to admit
- 11:33I did spend a lot more time doing more of the navigational
- 11:37aspects of things rather than, you know, I was more of like, I
- 11:41think I might, you know, maybe sometime in the future.
- 11:43I could have been a captain if I'd stuck with it.
- 11:46But you know, I don't know if I was as much of a good crew hand.
- 11:49But if you need help with your maps or anything I I'm actually
- 11:52really good at that. Well actually that that would be
- 11:55great. I mean, not to be presumptuous,
- 11:57but you're a drow right? So you only sleep 4 hours or
- 12:01trans 4 hours. That's true.
- 12:03Well, maybe it'd be nice for for trash to get A to get a little
- 12:06break while we're sailing tonight.
- 12:08Usually we sail throughout the night and then when we get to
- 12:10land, then we take our break. But but maybe maybe we'll let
- 12:13you steer the boat for like 4 hours and trash and I can kind
- 12:18of just cuddle up for for like a short rest, you know?
- 12:22Yeah, absolutely. Well, thank you Benin.
- 12:24And as you guys are talking, Taan yells to Trash.
- 12:28The lines are clear, we should be ready to go.
- 12:31And Trash nods to her and goes, all right babe, don't forget to
- 12:36engage the core for for movement, OK?
- 12:39And Taan goes, yes, of course, of course.
- 12:42If I don't do that, we will all burn and die, OK?
- 12:44One second everyone, one second. And she kind of runs below deck.
- 12:48And there's a pause before you hear this low that builds
- 12:54beneath your feet. It starts subtle and then
- 12:58quickly deepens into something very steady, very alive.
- 13:01And this is when the air around you grows warm, warmer still,
- 13:06and the faint orange glow that you saw becomes deeper orange
- 13:10and red and traces along the seams of the hall.
- 13:13It's imagine, like, having, like, an orange filter across
- 13:16your eyes, like everything is now that, like, deep color.
- 13:20So Ta'an Re emerges, and she brushes her hands together, and
- 13:23she goes, all right, Cora's awake, let's go.
- 13:26And trash is like, OK, casting off.
- 13:30And the boat kind of shifts and it slowly pulls away from the
- 13:34dock and the heat keeps rising and rising.
- 13:38Everyone give me a constitution saving through and then and you
- 13:44can do it with advantage. My die loves the number 3.
- 13:49To 14 four. Also a 14.
- 13:52Ollie V Garden You're the only one who doesn't pass.
- 13:55Nothing mechanical happens, except that you start to feel
- 13:59slightly unwell. The heat is just getting to you
- 14:03too much. I think the metal, your metal,
- 14:05right? Your heat, your.
- 14:06Yeah, I'm literally like. You're heating up much faster
- 14:09than you're used to and you and you feel kind of sick to your
- 14:13stomach. Yeah, it's, it's cool.
- 14:15That's cool that we're all taking this so well.
- 14:17We're all so such natural lava fares.
- 14:20I mean, if you can't, can't handle the heat, get out of the
- 14:24kitchen. That's what I always say when
- 14:25I'm when I'm on the lava lakes in my boat, you know?
- 14:28All are you good, boy? Oh, you have a boat?
- 14:32No. OK, Ollie, do you want to come
- 14:37down here? I think we can maybe get you
- 14:39some water and and maybe a a cool a cool napkin for your neck
- 14:44or something, a cool towel. No, I don't.
- 14:47I don't need those things. But since you're offering, I
- 14:49don't want to, you know, like rather I don't want to offend
- 14:52you or anything. So yeah.
- 14:54OK, OK Ollie to on get you those things and you hear trash make a
- 15:01comment she goes. Yeah, it's it's really hard
- 15:05sailing on the Lava River for the first time.
- 15:08I mean, a lot of people, they don't, they don't feel well,
- 15:11they don't, they don't really can't really deal with the heat.
- 15:16But that's that's really OK. I'm I'm sure you'll be OK.
- 15:19Ollie. I feel bad.
- 15:20I feel bad for people like that, you know?
- 15:25I hate to not be able to handle this this weather.
- 15:29Yeah, no, no worries. Yeah, let's just go get some
- 15:32rest, OK? Once, once we go a little
- 15:35further, it kind of settles down a little bit.
- 15:38It's really the initial cast off that makes you feel really
- 15:42unwell. But that's to say, I guess
- 15:44everyone here is dealing with it pretty well.
- 15:47So, Bunty, no worries. Bunty, just you you good looking
- 15:51out up here. I'm going to I need to I have
- 15:53some questions I want to ask Tan and trash.
- 15:56I'm going to head down. OK, I have incredible depth
- 15:59perception with my one eye, so this is going to be really good.
- 16:03I know, buddy. You're great at this.
- 16:05All right, I'll be right back. He like physically opens his
- 16:07eyes with his two hands to make them larger.
- 16:10Babe. You head down as well from the
- 16:12crow's nest and Ta'an goes. If you guys need anything, you
- 16:18know, come to me. Come to come to trash.
- 16:21Do you guys want a tour actually of the boat?
- 16:23I mean, we will be here for maybe a day or so.
- 16:27I actually have some questions. Yeah, of course, babe, what's
- 16:30up? Where does the lava river end?
- 16:32Does it does it pour out into like a water source?
- 16:37And does it cool down into like rocks?
- 16:39Like how does it, how does this flow continue?
- 16:43Like is there just like an active volcano from which it's
- 16:46flowing? There are a couple of volcanoes
- 16:50in Ignovarum that are connected to the Lava River.
- 16:54The Lava River kind of goes across the northern part of
- 17:00Ignovarum and kind of spreads across from West to east.
- 17:04So we are on the eastern side. There are two ports where the
- 17:08Lava River actually goes into the Smoldering Sea, and that's
- 17:11kind of where the Smoldering Sea gets its name is that it's
- 17:14warmer than the other seas. It's not burning.
- 17:17It's not it's not like incredibly hot, but it is it is
- 17:21pretty warm in comparison, honestly, the beaches very nice
- 17:26warm water, everything is. Probably a lot of beach houses.
- 17:29Yeah, Oh yeah, Ember Hold is right on that water.
- 17:32It's a little more S than than where the lava river actually
- 17:37meets the smoldering sea, but it's still it's quite a warm
- 17:40Bay. If if hey, one day our goal have
- 17:43a beach house in amber hold. That sounds nice, doesn't it?
- 17:48Cool. I don't know.
- 17:49I would assume that the where it outlets is always changing
- 17:52because there's all this this molten metal and rock that's
- 17:57cooling down. Yeah, definitely.
- 17:59So people who live in that area, there's not many cities over
- 18:03there. They're smaller towns.
- 18:05The Imperator actually hires people in those cities to kind
- 18:09of break away the molten lava and they ship it back to
- 18:13scenario. And at scenario, they will use
- 18:17it for art or for any sort of like decoration.
- 18:21Sometimes they'll feed it back into the volcano to kind of have
- 18:23this like endless supply. But yeah, it's a, it's a very
- 18:29cool system that they have there.
- 18:31Nice. Thank you.
- 18:32Yeah, of course. Anyone.
- 18:34Else have any other questions? Do you want a tour of the
- 18:37facilities in the boat? Yeah.
- 18:38Yeah, a tour would be fantastic. Thank you.
- 18:41She'd guide you to the lower part of the boat and she goes so
- 18:45the room to the left is where Trash and I sleep and the room
- 18:49in to the right is kind of more of an empty storagey room, not
- 18:54that there's much there anymore. We're kind of going to Amber
- 18:57hold so that we can pick up more supplies.
- 19:00But so if you guys need to take a rest, you guys can sleep in
- 19:04here. You're also more than welcome,
- 19:06of course, to sleep on the deck in any of that.
- 19:08Like as long as you're OK being outside and sleeping, that would
- 19:12also be a fair place to sleep. And there is a kitchen.
- 19:18And she opens the door to the front room.
- 19:20It's a very like narrow galley kitchen, if you can imagine
- 19:24that. So we cook simple but good.
- 19:28And we'd be more than willing to.
- 19:29I think we were planning on making some some noodles
- 19:32tonight, if you'd be into that. Might be a tight fit for all of
- 19:36us to step into the kitchen together.
- 19:38But this is the fire flow core. And she points next to the stove
- 19:43and there's just like. Black, sweet or salty?
- 19:47Oh. Definitely savory salty noodles.
- 19:49Yeah, that's kind of what what we're into right now.
- 19:52Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, we can.
- 19:54We can make some sweeter noodles for you.
- 19:56Like, no, it's not for me. It's not for me.
- 19:59Oh. Dave and Buster's likes a
- 20:02dessert noodle dish. Yeah, I want like, ice cream and
- 20:07like with raw cow's milk because I don't believe in
- 20:09pasteurization. Yeah, but the ice cream has
- 20:12pasteurized milk in it. But David?
- 20:15Not the ice cream I make. I, I look at, I, I put my hand
- 20:22on both David and Babe's shoulders, on Avon Bunty's
- 20:26shoulders and I, I look over at the fire flow core and I say do
- 20:32not touch that. That is the the the most
- 20:35important thing on this ship. Okay, so how this works is it's
- 20:40pretty much just like a black box.
- 20:43It's decently heavy and it has three little outlets connected
- 20:49to it. I call them outlets.
- 20:51It doesn't plug in anywhere, but we have them kind of secured to
- 20:55the boat. So it'll suck in all of the heat
- 21:00and that's why I don't know if you can tell down here in the
- 21:02kitchen it is, it's quite toasty down here.
- 21:05We actually recycle that heat to cook our food.
- 21:08It goes to the stove and it goes to the oven, so we can use some
- 21:11of that heat. But if you touch that, it is a
- 21:16that thing is quite hot also. So just kind of leave it alone.
- 21:21Do not take any of the outlets and remove it from the wall.
- 21:26If you do that, if all three of them are removed, then the boat
- 21:30will start to burn up and we will all surely die.
- 21:33What if one is removed? I put my hands I like grip even
- 21:38more. Than the boat will start to sink
- 21:42and burn up but slower. Got it.
- 21:44Got it. OK.
- 21:45OK, so is. There a linear relationship with
- 21:47the three. All right, let's go upstairs.
- 21:50Let's lock the door to the kitchen and let's head back
- 21:53upstairs maybe. So you guys head back upstairs,
- 21:57upstairs and you look around on the deck.
- 22:01There's some fruit from a bunch of other empires on the deck,
- 22:05and Todd points to them and goes.
- 22:07So the fur market is actually quite big in Ember Hold.
- 22:11So we were able to kind of secure our hands on some stuff
- 22:14and hopefully use that to trade and maybe get some silks and
- 22:19some clothes. And then maybe we'll be able to
- 22:21take the boat outside of the lava river and go across one of
- 22:26the Seas or the ocean. We're not really big merchants
- 22:30yet, and this boat isn't exactly built for the open sea, but you
- 22:36know, that's kind of the goal. One day, maybe make some trades,
- 22:39get some money. And have you guys heard of the
- 22:43Academy of Artifice? Yeah, have we?
- 22:46I think general knowledge, yeah, I think it probably Abe would
- 22:50have. Absolutely.
- 22:51Beau hasn't. Beau hasn't.
- 22:54Is it related to sailing? No, it's just like an Academy.
- 22:59OK, then I don't know about it. So I can tell that some of you
- 23:02don't know about it. It is a university where world
- 23:07renowned artificers from all the empires go and study.
- 23:10It's actually in Brazen Heart and actually Tresh doesn't like
- 23:14when I talk about this, but her sister goes there and she is
- 23:18this incredible artificer and she is going to help us upgrade
- 23:23our boat. She already has helped us
- 23:26because OK, it's so cool. And Tahan's getting ready to
- 23:29talk. And Tresh goes to on.
- 23:33Maybe, babe, we talked about this.
- 23:35You shouldn't brag to new people.
- 23:38I don't want us to come across as like, you know, I just want
- 23:44them to like us. So we don't.
- 23:46Have hey, it's OK, it's OK here you guys can brag as much as you
- 23:50want because I mean like literally people I know went to
- 23:56the verrillion shards. So there you go.
- 23:58There's a brag from me. There's like silence before
- 24:01trash goes. Oh, but that's.
- 24:04Illegal. Laws are just suggestions.
- 24:10I mean. Bo nods.
- 24:13OK, so Tricia's sister is at the Academy of Artifice, which is
- 24:18incredibly hard to get into. And Tricia's kind of just
- 24:22nodding along and she said we should separate ourselves from
- 24:26other merchants and offer something unique.
- 24:29So actually we can take you guys all the way to Ember Hold even
- 24:34though the lava river doesn't connect, because our boat can go
- 24:37on land. And trash goes yes so our boat
- 24:43can go on land. My sister did a modified.
- 24:49Have you guys heard of the spell tensors floating disk?
- 24:52Yeah, I have. Floating disk No.
- 24:57Absolutely. Once again, boat has not.
- 25:00Well, if she put a modified version of it and fused this
- 25:04object on the boat and so now we can like hold the ship up so
- 25:10when it gets on land it kind of floats above land.
- 25:14And that's why we have horses, because then the horses will
- 25:18pull the boat that's on the tensors floating disk.
- 25:22Interesting. Yes.
- 25:23And that is how we will separate ourselves.
- 25:25We will travel on the lava rivers and we will travel on
- 25:28land. It's basically just a big
- 25:30carriage. Can you not do that on the the
- 25:33lava rivers too? Use the tensors floating disk.
- 25:37Well, I think the issue is that the spell requires a lot of
- 25:45energy and so it's easier for us to just sail and let the object
- 25:51recharge and then only use it when we need to, for example.
- 25:55So. It's like a hybrid.
- 25:57Yes, whatever that means. And we have 2 horsepower, but
- 26:03now we will have 5 horsepower with you guys.
- 26:05You do need to ask Alexander if he's OK with that.
- 26:09Oh, is that your horse? Of course I love animals.
- 26:12I would gladly, I take care of the horses.
- 26:14So I will gladly go and and and feed them and and ask if they're
- 26:19OK with helping us move the ship when we get on land, Assuming
- 26:23you still want to travel with us when we're we're on land.
- 26:26Yeah, you guys are really cool. Could I see the map real quick?
- 26:30Yes, you can. Come join me at the at the helm.
- 26:34I'm going to walk over and take out my navigators tools.
- 26:37I can plot a course for ADC 10 check using Wisdom.
- 26:42So I'm going to try to do that, and I'd like to sort of just
- 26:46plot the course of how long it's going to take to get to where
- 26:51they're planning on going on land, and then how long it might
- 26:55take us to get to Amber Hold after that.
- 26:59OK, so do you want to give me a roll to?
- 27:0314. So you will know with the path
- 27:07that they're taking, they have to take you a little bit up
- 27:11river and then there should be a pretty straight shot down to
- 27:16Emberhold. So it's going to be a little
- 27:19less than a day to get to where they are planning on getting off
- 27:24of land. And then if you were to take
- 27:26your horses by yourself, it's going to be about a day, day and
- 27:32a half to get to Ember hold. But as you're plotting it on
- 27:36turn or trash turns to you and goes.
- 27:38So with five horses, if you guys wanted to ride with us, we could
- 27:44get to Ember hold in half a day because the Tensors floating
- 27:48disc really lifts up the shift ship and gives it kind of it's
- 27:52really light. And so with two horses, it would
- 27:54take us about a day, a day and a half.
- 27:58But with five horses, we could be going even faster and pulling
- 28:02even faster. So it's really your choice, You
- 28:07know, it'd be nice to have more horses.
- 28:09But I understand if you don't want to travel with us.
- 28:12We just met. So it would take us longer to
- 28:16travel alone than it would together.
- 28:18I think that makes sense. I feel like the horses carrying
- 28:22one person are going to go slow than horses, just like walking
- 28:25in the direction and guiding a weightless.
- 28:29The ship. The ship is basically
- 28:30weightless. OK.
- 28:31So when there's five of them pulling you at the same time, I
- 28:34see. Yeah, they're pretty much just
- 28:35pulling. OK, cool.
- 28:37Yeah, that's perfect. All right, I'm going to make a
- 28:39suggestion and Avni you if you don't want it to work or if you
- 28:43don't want it to be a thing, you don't have to.
- 28:46This was a trick that I actually learned back when I was on a a
- 28:50merchant's ship. You can, if you divert some of
- 28:54the the heat from the lava flow core up towards the sails, you
- 29:00get this lift effect that allows the ship to move slightly
- 29:04faster. And I can see that your lava
- 29:07cores are currently diverted outwards.
- 29:09What if you gave that a shot real quick?
- 29:11I think we might be able to speed up a journey.
- 29:13Yes, that sounds fantastic. OK, So once it was kind of set
- 29:19in the ship, I haven't really had experience with this, but
- 29:24here, First off, I need to get my very, very thick gloves so I
- 29:28can touch the fire flow core. And then would you would you
- 29:32want to guide me as I kind of move this around?
- 29:36Yeah. Yeah, I can do that.
- 29:37I think she's just going to roll a straight intelligence check
- 29:41with advantage to kind of divert it that way.
- 29:45Can I give her guidance on this? Sure.
- 29:49No. Well, I rolled, I rolled A7 and
- 29:54two and I rolled A2 on it. And she doesn't have anything to
- 29:58add to intelligence. So she gets a nine Brutal.
- 30:01And she goes, oh, OK, that was really hot.
- 30:04OK, so maybe I leave the experts to do this.
- 30:08Maybe an ember hole will find someone.
- 30:10But as of now, that is not that was hot.
- 30:16Oh, OK, that is not the thing to do.
- 30:18OK, let's leave that alone. If someone can keep an eye on
- 30:21David because he seems like he would cause trouble.
- 30:24Yeah, I would just say lock this room, honestly.
- 30:26Like keep it locked. Don't.
- 30:27Unlock it unless you're in here. He's he's, he's, he's a really a
- 30:31good person. He's just, he likes to
- 30:33experiment a little bit and babe.
- 30:35And Bunty shows up behind you it goes.
- 30:37I'm here. I hear you talking about me.
- 30:42OK, David, let's go. Maybe, maybe I'll teach you how
- 30:46to spot things from the crow's nest.
- 30:48OK, that sounds fun, lady. I have a quick question actually
- 30:54those, those gloves, do you have any more like them or just like
- 30:58another pair of gloves that you can spare?
- 31:02Those are the only gloves I have when it comes to touching the
- 31:04fire flow core. Is it?
- 31:07Do you need it for something? Are you trying to touch
- 31:11something? I I've been in I've been in the
- 31:13market for a pair of gloves for a while and I was just curious
- 31:16if you have any gloves. It was a weird question.
- 31:20I mean me and me and trash have fingerless gloves but that's
- 31:24just more aesthetic. That's really cool of you.
- 31:27I think that that would actually not really serve my businesses
- 31:30very well, but thank you. OK, well when we get to Ember
- 31:33Hold, I can point you to a glove store.
- 31:36Thank you. And I, I say to these two, I
- 31:38just wanted to like, be able to shake people's hands without
- 31:40worrying about it. Super fair.
- 31:43The the the name of this episode is going to be Glove is Glove.
- 31:49Writing this down, Oh my. God, just glove is glove.
- 32:00OK, so you guys are on the deck of the ship having this
- 32:03conversation and Tahan goes, oh also are you guys fighters?
- 32:09Because I have been honing my skills.
- 32:12And she takes out her blade and starts and she goes, look, I
- 32:17have a practice dummy right over here.
- 32:18And you look at the practice dummy and it is incredibly
- 32:21fucked up with slashes. Tahan, listen fighting.
- 32:25It seems cool and all that, but. It is.
- 32:29Yeah, but listen, when you're really in a fight, when your
- 32:32life is really on the line, it's not really that cool.
- 32:37And so if you can avoid fighting, I recommend it.
- 32:40You, you have a really good setup here with trash and and
- 32:43your boat and your and your wares and you don't need to
- 32:45fight people. That's what I've been telling
- 32:48her. Why do we need to fight?
- 32:50All we need is love and money. Yeah, I feel like, you know, I
- 32:55agree with that sentiment, but also sometimes the fight comes
- 32:58to you and you don't really get. A choice in it.
- 33:01Exactly. You know, that's why I'm always
- 33:03keeping an eye out for pirates. I would love if a pirate came
- 33:07and attacked this ship. Oh baby.
- 33:09Then I would get to show off my skills.
- 33:11So see, sometimes, sometimes pirates or posses fight you and
- 33:18and then one of your friends gets their leg chopped off and
- 33:21then you kill one of them. And then that one's dad is
- 33:25actually really important in a local election.
- 33:28And then that dad wants to take revenge on you and he fucking
- 33:32kills you and he kills you and you're dead and, and if you
- 33:34hadn't hired A cleric, you wouldn't be back, OK?
- 33:37And and trash would be all alone.
- 33:38Bo nods. And it's like, yeah, sometimes
- 33:40that does happen. As as you say, this trash is
- 33:44going to roll something. Aha.
- 33:47You guys are not who you say you were.
- 33:49Trish and I were actually in the village.
- 33:52Peshwari told us all about this. Aren't you guys the mottos?
- 33:56If this is a real story that you're talking about yourself.
- 33:59No, it's just something I heard. It's something I heard.
- 34:01I. I say it's, it's OK, it's OK.
- 34:05Yeah. We, we just, you know, there's a
- 34:07lot of fans out there. So we we try to conceal our
- 34:10identities so that. No worries, I am not a fan.
- 34:14Oh great, I. Hate you, but I don't.
- 34:17I'm not obsessed with you. I think what you do is very
- 34:21cool. But you are right, I would never
- 34:24join a gladiatorial fight because I would not want to
- 34:26leave Tresh by herself. Thank you.
- 34:29Please don't leave me. Yes, I will not leave you trash.
- 34:34But to on my point was less about joining gladiatorial
- 34:36fights and more about, you know, pirates or posses.
- 34:39Yeah, yeah. But there was a chance that
- 34:41there's a chance that pirates might come right Trash.
- 34:44Yes, land pirates. Famous land pirates.
- 34:48The pirates known to. Attack on land.
- 34:50There, there are the pirates on the lava rivers.
- 34:52Oh really? But you know.
- 34:56You know, I bet they're called pirates.
- 34:58Pirates, yeah. Well, they're just pirates, but
- 35:01it's spelled Pyre. Ah, pirates, pirates, so good
- 35:06And and Trish turns to on and goes to on.
- 35:10I didn't want to tell you this, but I heard that there actually
- 35:14were pirates kind of further, further West of here.
- 35:18So I don't know if they're heading this way.
- 35:21I really hope not, but there are pirates.
- 35:25Ah, incredible to hear. Did you hear that models
- 35:29pirates? Well, let's, let's see what
- 35:31you've got. Bo, do you want to?
- 35:34Yes, Ollie. Oh Bo, is that your real name
- 35:36now? Yeah, you can.
- 35:37You can call me Bo. OK Bo, I am Tahan and Benin, who
- 35:42are you? Yeah, I'm, I'm Bon.
- 35:45OK, I'm Tahan. OK, babe, who are you?
- 35:48I'm Abe and and this is Bunty, not David.
- 35:51OK great. Saying babe felt really weird
- 35:54when my girlfriend was on board. I know I heard you say babe to
- 35:57her and I thought you were talking to me, but that didn't
- 35:59make a lot of sense. See, this is really confusing
- 36:02and I'm glad we got your real names.
- 36:04All right, Abe and Bunty, I am Todd and it's very nice to meet.
- 36:08You. It is nice to meet you, lady.
- 36:11It's not polite to just say lady.
- 36:13She said her name like 6 times. It is nice to meet you.
- 36:17There you go. There you go, buddy.
- 36:18All right, all right, first first rule of sword fighting.
- 36:22So so swords, swords got like these these parts to them.
- 36:25Some of them are sharp, some of them are like flat and you're
- 36:28like you're trying to hit them with like the sharp, the sharp
- 36:30side, not the flat side. Sometimes you might.
- 36:32Think well, do you want to use the wooden practice swords that
- 36:36I have? Yeah, I guess, yeah.
- 36:38Sure. OK.
- 36:40Well, that way we don't accidentally cut each other, no?
- 36:43That's fair, yeah. OK so she brings out 2 wooden
- 36:47practice swords and hands one to you and I guess let's see who
- 36:52gets the re hits first I. Have a feeling she's going to be
- 36:56so much better than me anyway. Let's say five hits.
- 37:00Let's say let's whoever gets the five hits first.
- 37:02So let's roll initiative. You're gonna go over there like
- 37:05I'm actually I'll, I'll, I'll go easy on you.
- 37:07You know, I, I as a professional gladiator and all, like I don't
- 37:11wanna. You're obviously new to it, so
- 37:13I'm not gonna I'm. Not gonna actually, I haven't
- 37:15really gotten into many fights, I just practice all day.
- 37:20Jesus. Yeah, well that, I mean, that's
- 37:23nothing compared to like just barely making it through like 3
- 37:27fights, but yeah. All right, Would you?
- 37:33It's a Nat one. Cool.
- 37:37All right, she is going to roll her first attack on you.
- 37:42Never, ever been more happy to roll in that one.
- 37:47The that's a dirty 20, so that's going to hit you once and the
- 37:51second attack because you're not going to.
- 37:52Take it cool out. Yeah, You know.
- 37:54And that's going to be in no, another dirty 20 to hit.
- 38:00So that'll hit you twice. Oh, OK, yes, you know, you're
- 38:03you're doing pretty good for for a beginner.
- 38:05Oh my God, come and fight to me, Bo.
- 38:08I got the 9 to hit in the first attack.
- 38:11That does not hit. And then that was a 15.
- 38:15Sorry, 14 with my offhand. A 14 does not hit OK Anything
- 38:21else? Yeah, you know, you're pretty.
- 38:22You're pretty good at this. Of course I'm not.
- 38:25Again, taking it easy on you. And then Bo loses a smile and
- 38:29gets like really locked in. OK.
- 38:33Is that the end of your turn to on certain?
- 38:34Yes, it is. OK to on rules for two attacks
- 38:37that is a 16 to hit on one of them and a 24 on the other.
- 38:46Yeah, both, both of those are going to hit.
- 38:48OK aha, she smacks you twice. Yeah, I mean again like the the,
- 38:55so the the thing balance, the balance is all thrown off.
- 38:57I know it is a wooden sword, it is not exactly what you're used
- 39:00to, but come and fight to me, Bo.
- 39:02Come hit me again, or hit me once.
- 39:05I you know, I'm you're, you're, you're really good for, for a
- 39:10big I don't want to. I don't want to.
- 39:11I'm going to, I'm going to it's really hot.
- 39:13I'm going to go take a nap. Oh, OK, Bo, I'm sorry if that
- 39:20wasn't exactly what you wanted. I was just excited to have
- 39:25someone on the ship to to to spar with but.
- 39:29No, no, I'm sorry. It's OK.
- 39:31You're really good. No, Bo, I think, Why don't I?
- 39:35Why don't I take a? Why don't I take a stab at this?
- 39:38OK, here's the wooden sword so we don't hurt each other.
- 39:41Don't want the sword, OK. And I just, and I just get in
- 39:44there with, with a kind of a, a, a martial arts stance.
- 39:48All right, roll initiative. So Nat 20.
- 39:52All right, Abe, you attack first.
- 39:54I'm going to hold my I'm just going to wait for her to attack.
- 39:58OK, she is going to roll to attack.
- 40:02She is. She rolls an 18 on one and a 19
- 40:05on the other. That hits you twice.
- 40:07I'm going to use my reaction. Is it to deflect a missile?
- 40:11It is. So you sidestep one, she hits
- 40:13you with one, and now it's your turn again.
- 40:16OK, I'm going to roll to touch her.
- 40:18That's my on our I'm not trying to punch, not throwing punches.
- 40:21I'm just trying to touch her with my palm.
- 40:23OK. That's a 23, and then I'm going
- 40:29to use my Flurry of Blows to get two more in.
- 40:33OK. That's also 23 hits and that's a
- 40:3724. OK, all three of them hid.
- 40:40OK so she touches me once and then I boom boom boom just palm
- 40:45wherever I can reach for the next 3.
- 40:48She turns to you and goes, you are good at fighting, let's do
- 40:52this. And she lunges and tries to
- 40:55tackle you to the ground. Oh, God.
- 40:59She's going to make the strength athletics, I think.
- 41:02And then you can. I think when you're a monk, you
- 41:04can use decks, right? Yeah, she rolls a Nat 20 on her
- 41:09strength to to pull you down to the ground.
- 41:15OK, as you start screaming, she backs up and goes let's let's
- 41:20stop this. I am so sorry.
- 41:21I I just, I thought we were playing around.
- 41:24On top of me like that. Then I scramble away from the
- 41:27fighting pit. It's just the deck of the boat.
- 41:31Yeah, just from where we were kind of like it's barring.
- 41:34Oh, Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to to traumatize
- 41:38you. I, I heard about what happened.
- 41:40I just didn't. I'm so sorry.
- 41:42I I thought we were just playing around.
- 41:43It's, it's OK. It's not, it's not your fault.
- 41:45He's just head along there. Yeah, sorry, Todd.
- 41:48Sorry. That was just, that was a lot
- 41:50too soon. I shouldn't have.
- 41:53I shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place.
- 41:56I say, hey bro, why don't you? Why don't you go over your notes
- 41:58a little bit more for a little bit?
- 42:01I think you could use a chance to clear your head.
- 42:03Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a yeah.
- 42:05So as this is happening, the IT was already like dinner ish time
- 42:11and Taan turns and goes OK, well I'm just going to step into the
- 42:18kitchen real quick and and and start making us some dinner.
- 42:22If, if everyone's OK with that, she's like shaking from what
- 42:28happened with Abe. I, yeah, once again, I, I'm so
- 42:34sorry about this. I, I didn't mean to do this.
- 42:37And and I'll be back out in like 1/2 an hour or so.
- 42:40Yeah, thank you. Dinner sounds lovely.
- 42:42And she steps into the kitchen and you guys are on the deck
- 42:46right now. I feel the awkward silence and
- 42:48I'm like, I think this is the perfect time for a song and I'm
- 42:54going to take out the banjo and I'm going to spend like 3 solid
- 42:57minutes trying to tune it. And then I, I, I strum a chord
- 43:02and it's very clearly still out of tune.
- 43:05And so I just spend the next like 50 minutes to an hour
- 43:09trying to tune the banjo without knowing how to tune a banjo.
- 43:12At some point ON has stepped out and give her everyone their
- 43:15noodles and Bo is still on the deck trying to tune his banjo.
- 43:20Takes a bite of the noodles. Tunes the banjo.
- 43:22Takes a bite of the noodles. Tunes the banjo and Tom then
- 43:25gets everyone's bowls and brings it back to the kitchen.
- 43:28And Bo is still tuning the banjo.
- 43:30Yeah. And she comes back out and goes.
- 43:33So are you a musician? I could.
- 43:36I could hear all the noise you were making.
- 43:38Sorry. The music you were making.
- 43:40Well, yeah, I mean, I'm getting there just like have to get in
- 43:44the process tuning and everything, you know?
- 43:47Of course, oh man, if you know any sea shanties that would be
- 43:51incredible for our journey. Yeah, we'll get there.
- 43:54You know, just I pluck another. No.
- 43:57Oh, I don't know about that one. Cool.
- 44:01And as this is happening, Abe, you're going to roll me a
- 44:07perception check for Bunty, who is in the crow's nest.
- 44:10I. Can't believe we left Bunty up
- 44:13there with one eye. 19 I'm. 19 Bunty shouts down.
- 44:21Hey guys, guess what? What's up, Bunty?
- 44:25What? I I said guess.
- 44:29Something flew in your eye. No guess again.
- 44:33You're hungry. Did you finally beat your high
- 44:35score on the bunk it? Oh my God, I I was so locked in,
- 44:39I didn't even do it here. And he started taking out the
- 44:41bunk it and doing it, but that's not it.
- 44:45Wild guess. Is there somebody coming?
- 44:47Oh yeah, that's it. I see pirates.
- 44:50Oh, OK. Why did you make us guess if
- 44:53you? All right, all right, everyone
- 44:58roll initiative as this boat is starts approaching.
- 45:01We haven't taken a long rest yet, right?
- 45:03No, but you've taken a short rest.
- 45:06I'm going to use my ability to regain my all my key points.
- 45:12Incredible. Yeah, I got an unnatural 20.
- 45:15I got a six. I got a three, it's OK.
- 45:21OK, as Bunty is saying this because he kind of buried the
- 45:25lead a little bit, the pirate boat is quickly approaching.
- 45:30It is much, much larger than your boat, almost double the
- 45:35size in both length and height. Do you see on board six pirates
- 45:42and one guy who looks like a pirate captain and the pirate
- 45:46captain holds out a sword and goes all right boys, it is time.
- 45:52Oh and women, it is time to take the fire flow car on guard and
- 46:00the pirate captain is going to go first.
- 46:03He is on his ship at. Least they're equal opportunity
- 46:05pirates guys. Anyone can be a pirate.
- 46:09He takes out a pistol and what takes takes a shot at everyone.
- 46:17Just give me a pure luck check. Just roll AD 20.
- 46:21Oh, and we had, we'd taken a short rest, correct, you said,
- 46:23you mentioned OK. 17. 15. 5. OK, takes a shot at Abe then.
- 46:29Oh no. Wait, how far away is he?
- 46:31He is about 90 feet away, so he's going to roll with
- 46:35disadvantage. OK, cool.
- 46:37So on the first attack an 11 does not hit and on the second
- 46:43attack 20 does hit I assume. Yeah, going to use my reaction.
- 46:49Great, so he is going to roll damage and you are going to roll
- 46:52to see if you can reduce it. He rolls 19 piercing damage as
- 46:58the bullet shoots through your shoulder.
- 47:01And I rolled a 19 OK. So, so damage is reduced to
- 47:05zero, Yeah. Do you want to attempt to send
- 47:08it back? Sure.
- 47:10What is the range that you can send it back also?
- 47:14Within 60 feet. OK, he is not within 60 feet of
- 47:16you. Damn I thought we were going to
- 47:18get a literal PO I. Know I was.
- 47:20Situation. I was thinking, Charlie, like,
- 47:22because you're on the boat too. Charlie, you've brought up Kung
- 47:25Fu Panda multiple Times Now. I mean, OK, your point is?
- 47:30So he attempts to make the shot. He he does make the shot, but
- 47:35you're able to dodge out of the way as the bullet whizzes past
- 47:39you and the pirate captain turns to the rest of the pirates and
- 47:42goes. Just get past them and get the
- 47:45fire flow core. Ignore all the loot, ignore the
- 47:48people, grab it and go. Does every boat that's on the
- 47:50lava river have a fire flow core?
- 47:53Yes, but his boat is also much taller than yours.
- 47:56Just letting you know. OK, so he is going to turn to
- 47:59you Abe and goes. Well.
- 48:03I feel like you want to be a pirate mate.
- 48:06I feel like you are unsatisfied with your life and give me a
- 48:11wisdom saving throw. What the heck?
- 48:13No I'm not. This guy's projecting big time.
- 48:17Actually, actually, I lied. The distance is too far.
- 48:19So he's not going to do that. He's just going to stay at the
- 48:22top of his boat. And he says that to you because
- 48:24I think you want to be a pirate. No.
- 48:29And Abe, it's your turn. OK.
- 48:31So they're all 90 feet away from you right now.
- 48:33Are Tahan and trash like on the deck now?
- 48:36Yeah. So trash.
- 48:37Trash is still at the at the wheel and Tahan is on the deck.
- 48:41The boats I would say are 10 feet apart in like distance from
- 48:46width and their boat is much higher than yours.
- 48:49So distance wise it's 90 feet diagonally.
- 48:52The gloves trash can you? Can you get me the gloves?
- 48:57I'm steering the ship, so probably not.
- 48:59Where are they? They're in.
- 49:03They're in the the the Bedroom. I'm going to dash to their
- 49:05bedroom. OK, you run down to their
- 49:08bedroom and and grab the gloves. I assume that's going to be
- 49:12going down the stairs and everything.
- 49:14That's going to take 40 feet of movement.
- 49:16OK so I'm going to do my full my full dash so I should have 90.
- 49:19So you spent, you spent 40 feet. You get to their bedroom and get
- 49:22the gloves. Yeah, and I run back up to the
- 49:25deck. Great.
- 49:25So that's 80 feet of movement. I'm going for their core.
- 49:28I'm going to start moving towards the boat.
- 49:31So you start moving towards. So you're at the edge of this
- 49:34boat right now? Yeah.
- 49:35Abe, there's lava. So your turn ends and now it's
- 49:41the pirates turns. 6 of the pirates are going to make DEX
- 49:45checks to swing over on onto your boat.
- 49:49They get to do it with advantage because they are much higher
- 49:52than you guys. From 90 feet away.
- 49:54Yeah, it's 90. It's like up.
- 49:56So they have the rope. They're only 10 feet distance
- 49:59wise between the two boats. So they can, they drop the rope,
- 50:02they can swing down to you guys. I see we must have been so
- 50:08distracted for us to. Realize.
- 50:10That they work on a so late. A.
- 50:13Massive shit. It's Bunty's fanfare.
- 50:15I was. Playing Barking.
- 50:17Oh also I guess Bunty is I guess kind of more eye level with them
- 50:22if he wants to use his blowgun. Oh, that's good.
- 50:26OK, wait, hold on, let me do that first before they invade us
- 50:29and roll the net one, OK? Six of the however many pirates
- 50:36are on that ship are able to swing down.
- 50:39They land right around all of where you guys are because you
- 50:44guys are kind of on the deck on the center of the ship.
- 50:46All of them have gloves, the same ones that Abe just grabbed
- 50:50and they run past you guys. Abe, you used your reaction so
- 50:53you can't use it anymore. Yeah, Bo and Bon and Tahan, if
- 50:57you guys want to use your reaction to make an attack on a
- 51:01pirates. So there are 6 pirates.
- 51:03I'll say you guys can attack different pirates as they run
- 51:05by. Sure, that is a six, so I assume
- 51:11that doesn't hit. That does not hit.
- 51:13I got an 11 to hit. That also does not hit, so
- 51:17Tahana hits one of them and does a fair bit of damage to that
- 51:22first one. And they all use their whole
- 51:26movement to run by, but they haven't made it all the way
- 51:30downstairs because they took some of their movement to swing
- 51:33over. So they're at like, I would
- 51:35imagine the top of the stairs before heading down.
- 51:38OK, It is to Anna's turn. She turns to you, Abe, and goes.
- 51:43Abe. I think that's a horrible idea
- 51:45because I don't know how many pirates are on that ship, but do
- 51:49what you got to do. It would be nice to have those
- 51:51gloves though if I need to protect the core.
- 51:53And then she runs after the pirates that are already on your
- 51:56ship and. Reaction to just throw the
- 51:58gloves at her. Are you abandoning your idea of
- 52:01scaling the? Ship.
- 52:01I'm not abandoning my idea, but I'm going to.
- 52:03I'm going to go for it RAW. OK, so you I guess, toss the
- 52:06gloves back to Ta'an. She puts them on and she goes to
- 52:11make two attacks. She hits on one of her attacks
- 52:14and she rolls some damage. One of the pirates is looking
- 52:21mighty hurt right now and the other five are looking totally
- 52:25fine. Bo, it is your turn.
- 52:28How far away are the pirates from me?
- 52:31They are probably 30 feet away from you at this point.
- 52:33What about the the one that got injured?
- 52:35He is also 30 feet away. All of them have just rushed
- 52:38right past you to the top of the stairs.
- 52:40OK. Is the injured one right next
- 52:42to? Tom Yeah.
- 52:44Then I will attack that one. OK, cool.
- 52:48Awesome. OK, there'll be a 21 to hit.
- 52:50Definitely hits. That'll be 16 damage.
- 52:56You kill this guy straight up. OK.
- 52:58And then am I still next to another one?
- 53:01Yeah, they're they're they're right now running in like a mass
- 53:04to get to the stairs. So you and to on are both within
- 53:075 feet of another. Then I will just make another
- 53:11attack with my dagger on another one of them.
- 53:13Lovely. And that is, that'll be a 12 to
- 53:18hit. A12 does not hits.
- 53:20All right, and that's all. OK, you run up, you brutally
- 53:25stab one of them who just falls to the ground.
- 53:28But the other pirates don't seem phase.
- 53:30They turn and goes. Oy, one of our mateys.
- 53:33We seem to lose quite a few of them when we raid these ships.
- 53:37I'm just going to position myself and like if they keep
- 53:39running I can get an opportunity attack on them.
- 53:42Awesome. All right, Bon, it's your turn.
- 53:44All right, I am going to, I'm going to use Radiance of the
- 53:48Dawn and make them all roll Constitution saving throws.
- 53:54OK, so it is DC-14. What do they even have for CON
- 53:58saving throws? OK, just a + 1.
- 54:03Two of them succeed, three of them fail.
- 54:05OK. That is going to be 14 radiant
- 54:10damage on the failed and seven on success.
- 54:15Nice. So a burst of light flashes out
- 54:18in front of me and kind of sears them all a little bit.
- 54:22They sizzle. And then I think I I'm going to
- 54:27use my bonus action to face step or misty step and get like in
- 54:33their way of getting downstairs. Awesome.
- 54:36OK. Sounds great.
- 54:38Cool. That is the end of the order.
- 54:41It's the pirate captain's turn. He's just going to try to take
- 54:45another shot at Abe. Do they all look?
- 54:48Human and like, what do they? What do they look like?
- 54:51A variety. There's dwarves, there's a
- 54:53couple of widows, the captain is a human, there are some orcs as
- 54:58well. And that's all you see right
- 55:00now. You don't know what's inside the
- 55:02boats. Yeah, with disadvantage that is
- 55:07a 19 to hit. I'm going to use my reaction
- 55:10because it does hit. Cool.
- 55:12So that's going to be 18 damage. Or 2022 damage.
- 55:18So you take 4 piercing damage. OK and you know what I forgot
- 55:24last time, which is totally fine, is that he gets multi
- 55:27attack so he gets to make a second attack so he's going to
- 55:29shoot at you again. That is going to be 17.
- 55:34Does the 17. Hit that, Is my AC OK?
- 55:36So he's going to roll and that is 14 piercing damage as she
- 55:41shoots through your shoulder. OK, so you get shot through the
- 55:45shoulder twice. You're still standing, but you
- 55:49pretty much bleeding out of your bullet wounds.
- 55:51All right, it is your turn. I'm man, I'm shaking.
- 55:56I'm looking at the boat though. Does it look like there are any
- 55:59portholes or like windows or anything on the side of the
- 56:03ship? That you can grasp onto.
- 56:06That I could possibly breakthrough.
- 56:08Roll me in. Intelligence.
- 56:10Check. Just straight intelligence.
- 56:14It's a 19. These are like reinforced glass
- 56:18breaking through it. You're going to have to reach
- 56:21through a damaged threshold to actually get into it.
- 56:24There are a couple of portholes windows that have glass through
- 56:28them so you can attempt to kind of like jump on and like monkey
- 56:33on to them and and punch it. But I think I'm abandoning my
- 56:36plan at this point. I'm going to use my movement to
- 56:42get down to our core as fast as possible, so I'm going to use my
- 56:46dash. Actually, before I do that, is
- 56:48there anyone who's within 10 feet of the edge of our boat?
- 56:52No, they are all like where the stairs are.
- 56:55OK, I'm going to. I'm going to run for the stairs.
- 56:58OK, are you going to try to run past the pirates?
- 57:00I think the first one I'm going to use my charger feet on, so
- 57:03I'm going to build up speed and run into the first one that I
- 57:06can reach. Cool, so pirate #2 this is like
- 57:09a large orc woman maybe? OK so I'm going to move towards
- 57:15that orc attack with non lethal damage and use my charger to
- 57:19push her 10 feet away. That's going to be a 20 to hit.
- 57:24Definitely hits. OK, I did five points of damage
- 57:29and pushed her 10 feet. Awesome, so she slides across
- 57:31the deck. And then I'm going to use my
- 57:34bonus action to spend a key point and activate Arms of
- 57:37Astral Self. So if there's anyone within 10
- 57:39feet of me, they have to make a deck saving throw or take damage
- 57:43equal to two times my martial arts die.
- 57:46Incredible. Okay, there are three orcs or
- 57:49three pirates used to me 1723 and an 11.
- 57:55I believe 2 succeed and one doesn't.
- 57:57Okay, cool, so how much damage that?
- 58:01It's going to be 8 damage. Cool, so the one that you pushed
- 58:05and the one that you just damaged right now are both
- 58:09looking pretty hurt and then the other three are still looking
- 58:13pretty sturdy. It is the pirates turns.
- 58:16They are going to take attacks of opportunity from both Bo Taan
- 58:24and Bon Abe. You already used your reaction.
- 58:27Did Bunty wanna go also? Yeah, OK, I'm gonna shoot at the
- 58:30captain again. I hate let's.
- 58:35Go Bunty. OK, let me see what I can do.
- 58:38Bunty kills the captain. My God.
- 58:41Even with disadvantage I hit by the way guys really cool.
- 58:45Damn, okay Bunty. Wow, Bunty.
- 58:47Okay, so. That's three piercing damage,
- 58:50the pirate captain. And he's dead right?
- 58:53Yeah, let me see. Three more, three more poison
- 58:57damage and he's got to make DC-10 Constitution saving
- 59:02through. Well, it's not AD 20.
- 59:04OK, Yeah, he he passes, Yeah. No.
- 59:07But barely if I told you that he hit exactly A10.
- 59:10That was so close guys. I saw him getting poisoned and
- 59:13then he resisted. OK, great.
- 59:15Now the five remaining pirates are going to try to make their
- 59:19way down the stairs to On. Bo and Bon can all take a tax of
- 59:24opportunities if they want. Can I attack one that hasn't
- 59:27been hurt yet but is still within 5 feet of like Dahan?
- 59:32They have all been hurt. Oh, OK.
- 59:35One that isn't as hurt as the two that you mentioned, I guess.
- 59:38Yes, you can hit one that isn't as hurt as the two.
- 59:43It's going to be an 18 for me. An 18 hits. 15. 15 hits.
- 59:48And I think we've had this conversation before, but I'm not
- 59:50sure. Can I use sneak attack on an
- 59:54opportunity attack since it's not on my turn?
- 59:57I I'm talking about something I read that said you can use it in
- 1:00:02opportunity attacks because it specifies you can use it once
- 1:00:06per turn, but an opportunity attack happens on a different
- 1:00:09turn from your own, whereas a round.
- 1:00:11If it said once per round, then I would only be able to use it
- 1:00:15one time during the initiative. There's a turn is one person's
- 1:00:20turn within a round. Yeah, OK.
- 1:00:22Yeah, you can use sneak attack on it.
- 1:00:24Cool. That's gonna be 8 bludgeoning
- 1:00:27damage and two lightning damage. OK, so 8 bludgeoning damage and
- 1:00:31two lightning damage. Were you going for one that was
- 1:00:33pretty hurt, the same one that Ta'an did, or a separate one, or
- 1:00:36what? Yeah, let's go for one that's
- 1:00:37pretty hurt. OK cool, you totally kill 1.
- 1:00:41And I'm going to do 14 damage. The one that you hit is, I would
- 1:00:45say, pretty hurt right now though.
- 1:00:47So Bond, describe how you killed this pirate.
- 1:00:52Yeah, I'm standing at the bottom of the stairs and this is
- 1:00:54probably the first one that runs down.
- 1:00:56I just pull out my Mace and ready to up just crack it across
- 1:01:02the head with a spark flying as the lightning damage hits.
- 1:01:07Incredible. Yeah.
- 1:01:08You hit this pirate like into the wall, so their head kind of
- 1:01:13smashes against the wall and the lightning shocks them and
- 1:01:15they're dead instantly. And that's probably 5 feet of
- 1:01:19difficult terrain there at the bottom.
- 1:01:21Of the. It's always fun to fight people
- 1:01:25that you don't really have to worry about killing as much.
- 1:01:27Yeah, so they make it to the bottom of the stairs and they
- 1:01:34can't use their dash action because the the door is closed.
- 1:01:39So they're going to try to break down the door.
- 1:01:41Right now the door is locked and closed because you told her to
- 1:01:44keep Bunty out. Thank God.
- 1:01:46I was going to ask if that was going to come into effect.
- 1:01:51The two of them try to knock the door down and are unable to get
- 1:01:54their shoulders to it. The other two working together
- 1:01:57are able to push the door in and it splinters to the ground and
- 1:02:01now they are in front of the kitchen but unable to move any
- 1:02:05further. All right, it is to ONS turn and
- 1:02:08she goes. Guys, this is going to be real
- 1:02:11bad. I thought this was going to be
- 1:02:12fun. You guys are incredible
- 1:02:14fighters. Bond that was terrifying.
- 1:02:17All right, let's get a boys. And she runs down the stairs and
- 1:02:20starts to stab through one of them.
- 1:02:23She rolls 2 attacks. She misses on one, but she gets
- 1:02:26a Nat 20 on the other. So we'll take it.
- 1:02:30Oh, actually, she kills that one and she stabs through them twice
- 1:02:34in the same hole in their body and she goes.
- 1:02:36I have impeccable. Aim.
- 1:02:41Aim. I'm not that smart, but I am
- 1:02:44adventurous. And.
- 1:02:46Grins. I love Todd all.
- 1:02:49Right, Bo, it is your turn. All right, you said there are
- 1:02:52three left now. There are three left, yeah.
- 1:02:55OK, once again I would like to attack one of them that is
- 1:02:58within 5 feet of somebody. Fantastic you can totally do.
- 1:03:02That and preferably the one that looks healthiest.
- 1:03:05Healthiest. OK, cool, sounds good.
- 1:03:07That's just like dorvish woman. All right.
- 1:03:11I don't know about this one. That's going to be a 13 to hit.
- 1:03:14A 13 does not hit. Yeah, all right, I'll go with my
- 1:03:17dagger. Not one unfortunate.
- 1:03:21Unfortunate. All right, So you go to stab
- 1:03:24her, she's like, she's short, she's towards the ground, she's
- 1:03:26kind of dodging out of the way. OK, then I guess I will use my
- 1:03:30bonus action to dash back towards the door so that I'll be
- 1:03:33in the way of anybody who's trying to run out of the room.
- 1:03:36OK, fantastic. So you dash backwards.
- 1:03:39They are going to make opportunity attacks on you.
- 1:03:43Oh, in that case, now I'll stay where I am.
- 1:03:46How many am I right next to right now?
- 1:03:48They're like all huddled up, so you're within all three of the
- 1:03:51alive ones right now. OK.
- 1:03:52Then. In that case, I'll stay where I
- 1:03:54am so I can get opportunity attacks on them.
- 1:03:56Cool. All right, Bon, it is your turn.
- 1:03:58You're at the bottom of the stairs, so you're probably only
- 1:04:01like 15 feet away from them. Had such a missed opportunity
- 1:04:04here, I'll tell you what I would have done.
- 1:04:06I would have cast gust of wind and made it so that they
- 1:04:09couldn't get down the stairs. Missed opportunity.
- 1:04:13You could do that on the way on their way back out if they.
- 1:04:16I could, but if they've already got the core then it's a huge
- 1:04:18problem. All right, I am going to just
- 1:04:23use my Radiance of the Dawn again, since, you know, we're
- 1:04:28dealing with actually how fucked up there are three left.
- 1:04:31How fucked up are they looking? Two of them are looking pretty
- 1:04:33healthy, 1 is just gotten bloodied so just below half.
- 1:04:40OK, yeah, I'm going to use Radiance of the Dawn again.
- 1:04:42So they all have to make Wisdom saving throws again.
- 1:04:44DC-14. How many times can you use this?
- 1:04:46It's so goaded. I can use my channel divinities
- 1:04:50to do it so I have two per day they recharge on a short rest.
- 1:04:54Incredible. Short rests are really, really
- 1:04:57great. I'm going to start having to put
- 1:04:58more things between each short rest.
- 1:05:01Two of them passes, one of them fails.
- 1:05:04OK, that is 13 again, sorry, 14 again.
- 1:05:08So 14 on the fail, 7 on the save.
- 1:05:11One of them is like at death's door like he is, he is hanging
- 1:05:16around. He's he's just fading in and out
- 1:05:20and he's looking real, real bad. I am going to go kind of walk up
- 1:05:26to them and engage them as well, OK, So that if they try to focus
- 1:05:29on something else like taking out the core, I can get an
- 1:05:32opportunity to attack. Great.
- 1:05:33All right, it is the pirates captain's turn.
- 1:05:36Abe, you're at the top of the stairs also correct?
- 1:05:39Yes. Pirate captain is going to swing
- 1:05:44over onto your ship and he is going to turn to you matey.
- 1:05:49I know you want to be a pirate and.
- 1:05:52Keep saying that. He is going to shoot his pistol
- 1:06:00at you twice, no longer with disadvantage, and she's on the
- 1:06:03boat with you. One's a 26 and one's a dirty 20,
- 1:06:06so they're both going to hit. Yeah, I'm going to use my
- 1:06:08reaction for one. Cool, I'll roll damage for one
- 1:06:11of them. Three 10s on my.
- 1:06:14OK, so how much is the total? He rolls 11 damage.
- 1:06:16Yeah, I reduced it to 0. OK cool, now you can throw it
- 1:06:19back at him if you want cuz he's within 30 feet.
- 1:06:22Yep, I'm gonna do exactly that. So then use a key point and send
- 1:06:26that back to him. Nice.
- 1:06:28It's two sixes +4, so that is 16 damage.
- 1:06:33They do have to make a deck saving.
- 1:06:34Through or take damage. OK, do you know what your DC is?
- 1:06:36It's 13. 13 He needs a six or higher on the die.
- 1:06:40He gets a 12 on the die, so 19 passes.
- 1:06:44All right, so he's not going to take any damage from that, but
- 1:06:46mark down that you used a key point or a focus point.
- 1:06:50OK, cool. He is going to make his second
- 1:06:53attack on you. Oh no, he he sorry, he already
- 1:06:55made his second attack. He just has to roll damage on
- 1:06:57it. That is going to be 18 piercing
- 1:07:01damage. Jesus, dude.
- 1:07:03I'm down. Abe is down and he goes, oh, I
- 1:07:06matey, I was supposed to try to persuade him to be a a pirate.
- 1:07:11Oh, crap. He's just standing on the deck
- 1:07:15and he can't see anyone. Oh, actually, he can see Trash,
- 1:07:20who at this time has been very steadily holding the boat
- 1:07:24forward. Bunty is too far up.
- 1:07:26He can't he can't reach Bunty. So he goes, you arc woman, you
- 1:07:32would like to be a pirate's maidie wouldn't you?
- 1:07:36And he has something called captains charm.
- 1:07:39They have to succeed on a wisdom saving throw or on a failure.
- 1:07:42The target has the charmed condition until the start of the
- 1:07:44pirates next turn. While you have the charmed
- 1:07:46condition you experience the following effects.
- 1:07:49You can't attack the charmer or target the Charmer with any
- 1:07:52damaging abilities or magical effects and social advantage.
- 1:07:55The charmer has advantage on any ability checks to interact with
- 1:07:58you socially. Actually, Avni, I think you're
- 1:08:00mistaken. It's Captain Crunch and Lucky
- 1:08:03Charms. Those are two different serials.
- 1:08:06Captain Charms isn't a thing. All right, so actually I'll have
- 1:08:10one of you roll a Wisdom saving throw for trash.
- 1:08:14Sure. Does she have her own modifier?
- 1:08:16She has a + 0 to wisdom. OK, she's much more intelligence
- 1:08:20based. It's a 15.
- 1:08:22A-15 passes, Trash goes. Captain, Sir, I'm actually the
- 1:08:27captain of of my ship, so thank you.
- 1:08:31But I actually I don't want to be a pirate.
- 1:08:33Thank you though. And the captain goes, all right
- 1:08:37matey, I'll get you next time. This.
- 1:08:42Guy is Who is this wacky guy? He's can't be as hell Johnny
- 1:08:47Depp if he was evil in Pirates of the Caribbean.
- 1:08:50He's got, he's got a giant, a giant black captain's hat with
- 1:08:53like a red feather sticking out of it.
- 1:08:56His beard is like super patchy and he's he's pretty short.
- 1:09:02Eye patch. Yeah, he's got, of course he's
- 1:09:03got one eye patch. It's off to the side, the eye
- 1:09:06patch, because he has both eyes still, but he's kind of waiting
- 1:09:09until he loses an. Eye.
- 1:09:11It's a preemptive. Preemptive.
- 1:09:13It's pro, yeah, and not a peg like he's got a mechanical leg.
- 1:09:18Of course. And that's.
- 1:09:20That's kind of the style. What about a mechanical hook?
- 1:09:23No, no hook, but a mechanical parrot that is not like
- 1:09:26sentient. It just like looks like it was
- 1:09:28kind of for design like vibes based only.
- 1:09:31All right, Abe, make your death saving throw, as Bunty goes.
- 1:09:36I'm coming, Abe. I'm coming.
- 1:09:38And he starts crawling his way down, but he can't make it to
- 1:09:41you in one turn. So 13.
- 1:09:43Or 13 passes, so mark that down as one pass.
- 1:09:45Cool Bunty makes his way all the way down to the ground, but
- 1:09:50doesn't have enough movement to race over to you just yet.
- 1:09:53It's the pirates turns. One of the pirates is very close
- 1:09:57to death and instead is going to attack because realizes that if
- 1:10:03they run they're going to completely be slaughtered.
- 1:10:06So going to roll 2 attacks on Yubo.
- 1:10:10That is a 15 and a 19 to hit. I I'm going to cast shield.
- 1:10:16Incredible So. Neither of those are going to
- 1:10:19hit. Both of them would have hit but.
- 1:10:21Yes, incredible. This This pirate goes in with
- 1:10:25his dagger, just goes and dinks off of your magical shield as
- 1:10:28you put it up in front of you. Unfortunately, this.
- 1:10:32Means I lose my opportunity attack but.
- 1:10:34Hello. Yeah, the other two pirates are
- 1:10:37going to go run to on and bond. You can make your opportunity
- 1:10:42attacks. That is going to be 21 to hit.
- 1:10:45That hits to on misses. No to on.
- 1:10:49I was too excited about all of this happenings.
- 1:10:51I just killed a man. That's a ton of damage.
- 1:10:56That is going to be 8 bludgeoning and five lightning
- 1:10:59damage. Okay, that pirate is not looking
- 1:11:04well. You said they were going to run,
- 1:11:05Are they not trying to get the flame?
- 1:11:08No, they're running towards the core.
- 1:11:09Yeah, okay, they have to go past and go towards the core.
- 1:11:13Both of them are currently at the core, and because they
- 1:11:19didn't have to use a dash action this time, they don't care about
- 1:11:22the integrity of the core right now.
- 1:11:25So they're not going to try to like intelligent space, like
- 1:11:27remove it nicely. Both of them are going to make
- 1:11:29strength checks and each of them are going to pull out one of the
- 1:11:33wires. With all three wires connected,
- 1:11:36they have to roll a 17 to detach the first one.
- 1:11:39If they roll above a 17 on the first one, the next one becomes
- 1:11:42easier to pull apart and that's going to be a 15.
- 1:11:45So the first one, what is their strength modifier?
- 1:11:48The first one is unable to pull it out.
- 1:11:51So the second pirate that is going to pull it out also has to
- 1:11:54get above a 17. And this one gets a 19 on the
- 1:11:58die and pulls out one of the extensions on the fire flow
- 1:12:04core. At the top of the round.
- 1:12:07The boat is going to start taking lava damage.
- 1:12:10It has a certain amount of hit points.
- 1:12:12So Ta'an is going to go no, no, my God, not the ship, Oh my God,
- 1:12:17and she runs in on her turn. Tom just realizes what's
- 1:12:21happening. Wait, they're going for the
- 1:12:24core? I didn't know this.
- 1:12:25OK and goes to attack. She actually has to attack the
- 1:12:32one that is still attacking Bo before she can get in and she
- 1:12:36kills that one completely and she runs all the way in and has
- 1:12:41used both of her attacks on the one on the outside because she
- 1:12:44missed on one of the attacks. So she's engaging with them.
- 1:12:47Bo, it is your turn. The one that was on you is dead
- 1:12:51right now. So it's just the two inside with
- 1:12:53the fire flow core. I'm going to throw my alchemist
- 1:12:56fire. I'm just kidding.
- 1:12:57I'm going to. I'll run up and attack the Which
- 1:13:04one looks more injured? There is a human man who looks
- 1:13:10pretty hurt and the one next to it is a dwarven man who's
- 1:13:14looking hurt but still OK, Not bloodied yet.
- 1:13:17And this is a weird question and so you don't have to answer, but
- 1:13:21how like do they both look equally capable of?
- 1:13:25Taking out they look equally capable.
- 1:13:26They look like they both have the pirate stat block minus
- 1:13:31minus some, minus the enthralling panache, because I
- 1:13:34thought that was less fun if all of them could enthrall people.
- 1:13:37I will attack the one that looks a little bit healthier.
- 1:13:42OK, cool. Go for it.
- 1:13:45Unfortunately, it's just a 13 to hit.
- 1:13:47A 13 does not hit. OK, then I attack again with my
- 1:13:50offhand and that'll be a 15 to hit.
- 1:13:55A-15 does hit roll your damage. It'll be 11 damage.
- 1:14:01OK, so you go for the one that is not as hurt.
- 1:14:05He is looking pretty hurt now. Cool.
- 1:14:08And that was with my my offhand because my main hand didn't hit
- 1:14:11so I kind of stuck him with the dagger after he deflected my
- 1:14:15first attack. Credible.
- 1:14:17Anything else on your turn, Bo? Of the my as my bonus action,
- 1:14:21can I cast mage hand and just have an invisible mage hand out
- 1:14:26and about that I could use later maybe?
- 1:14:28Sure. Cool.
- 1:14:29Does controlling? Does it require an action or
- 1:14:31bonus action? It requires a bonus action.
- 1:14:34Awesome Bon, it is your turn. I am gonna run up to the one who
- 1:14:39is less hurt and make an attack with my Mace.
- 1:14:42Incredible. Roll 10 hit.
- 1:14:44That is gonna be a 15 to hit. That hits.
- 1:14:47All right, I will roll damage. That is gonna be 5 damage. 2 of
- 1:14:55it is lightning. Great, he looks terribly hurt.
- 1:15:00Just bleeding. All right, I'm gonna use a bonus
- 1:15:05action to use Divine Smite and deal 2D8 more radiant damage.
- 1:15:11Incredible. So that is a six and A1.
- 1:15:17Great, as long as you as long as you hadn't rolled 2 ones, you
- 1:15:21were good. All right, describe how you use
- 1:15:25Divine Smite, I think maybe for the first time.
- 1:15:29I think this might be the second time I've used it but.
- 1:15:31Second time. I make my attack with my Mace
- 1:15:34and I run up and cracking across the chest and as I hit there's
- 1:15:38the spark of lightning and then a burst of light blue radiant
- 1:15:42light that emanates from it and pushes him back and sort of just
- 1:15:45knocks his body away from the core.
- 1:15:48Incredible. Anything else on your turn?
- 1:15:50No, that's all. OK, top of the round, the boat
- 1:15:53is going to take some damage. I want each of you to roll me AD
- 1:15:5810. 6. 81, yeah. 15 OK cool The boat starts burning up from the
- 1:16:07bottom and. Trash goes.
- 1:16:10We sunk our life savings into this and my sister helped us
- 1:16:13build this boat. Well, don't use the word sunk.
- 1:16:16Oh no, you're so. Right.
- 1:16:18You're like shouting and she's talking so quietly.
- 1:16:22Oh no guys, this is really bad. Focused on the wheel.
- 1:16:28It is the pirate captain's turn and he goes all right matey 1
- 1:16:33captain to another. I think this is a lost cause and
- 1:16:36starts going towards the stairs. He makes his way partly down the
- 1:16:40stairs, takes out his gun and everyone is within range.
- 1:16:45So he is going to go for Bond because he as he's making his
- 1:16:50way down the stairs, he sees Bond channel like radiant damage
- 1:16:55and smash one of his pirates to pieces.
- 1:16:57All right, he's going to make two attacks on you.
- 1:17:01That is going to be a 21 and an 11. 11 does not hit.
- 1:17:06Cool. All right, so the 21 you take 15
- 1:17:11piercing damage, all right, cool.
- 1:17:14And he is going to turn to you and goes, all right matey, don't
- 1:17:17you want to be a pirate? Why does he keep doing this to
- 1:17:21the people right after he shoots them?
- 1:17:24Because if he does it before, he can't shoot them.
- 1:17:28I have advantage against the charmed condition.
- 1:17:31Yes, as a drow, yes. All right, so roll Wisdom saving
- 1:17:34throw with advantage. You so cooked.
- 1:17:38There's no way. All right, we're good.
- 1:17:43That is going to be an 18th. And 18 passes and he goes.
- 1:17:47None of these mateys want to join my.
- 1:17:49Pirate ship. I mean I guess technically I've
- 1:17:51only been captain for like 3 days now since the other captain
- 1:17:55died. What still what I I I am pirate
- 1:17:59captain now. I mean, we lost a lot of people
- 1:18:01in the last Fire Flow Corps. We tried to take, but we took it
- 1:18:05and we sold it for lots of money.
- 1:18:08I say to him, you're far too whimsical for this life.
- 1:18:12Oh yes, I used to be an Acrobat and he just does a fault.
- 1:18:16That's awesome. Yeah, the circus was my life,
- 1:18:19but then the pirates came and took over my circus village, and
- 1:18:23now I've been here for the past five years.
- 1:18:26Learning to be. A pirates.
- 1:18:28Aha matey. Do you want to stop fighting?
- 1:18:31You seem like a really likable dude.
- 1:18:33I love the money that comes from stealing fire flow cores matey.
- 1:18:37Yeah, I guess you're not. All right, all right.
- 1:18:39Abe, it's your turn. Give me a death saving throw and
- 1:18:43then Bunty will be able to give you the potion.
- 1:18:47It's a four. A4 fail.
- 1:18:49That is one fail. It doesn't really matter because
- 1:18:52Bunty comes and is able to give you a potion of healing.
- 1:18:55He is going to heal you 410 HP. Nice, so you're back up Abe.
- 1:19:01So that was your whole turn? Yep it is the pirates turns.
- 1:19:06Now there is only one pirate left and he is going to attempt
- 1:19:12to steal the core. So he just needs to get a 15 on
- 1:19:16the die. He gets a 19 on the die.
- 1:19:21The second extension on the fire floor core has been taken out.
- 1:19:26Avenue what ability does it look like it it needs to be placed
- 1:19:29back in intelligence or. Intelligence.
- 1:19:32Yeah, all right. It is to ONS turn at this point.
- 1:19:35She's freaking out my core. Why did no one tell me that this
- 1:19:39is what they were after and takes 2 attacks?
- 1:19:42You were here. I wasn't paying attention.
- 1:19:45Literally threw you the gloves. Literally abandoned by plan.
- 1:19:51She misses on both attacks are old A2 and a three.
- 1:19:54This is real bad guys. All right, Bo, it is your turn.
- 1:19:58OK, there's just the one guy left there's.
- 1:20:00Just the one guy left, and of course the pirate captain who's
- 1:20:04on the stairs. OK then I'm going to attack the
- 1:20:07pirate that is fucking with the core and that's a natural one
- 1:20:12for my short sword. I've been rolling like dog shit
- 1:20:15today so then I'll attack with my dagger and that'll be a 15 to
- 1:20:22hit. A 15 hits.
- 1:20:25It'll be 7 damage. You killed this last pirate.
- 1:20:30Anything else you want to do? The pirate captain is about 30
- 1:20:33feet away on the stairs. I would like to use my bonus
- 1:20:36action to command my my mage hand to steal the parrot from
- 1:20:41his shoulder. Incredible.
- 1:20:43Do you have the mage hand stat block?
- 1:20:45I just use it. I can use it to make dexterity
- 1:20:47like sleight of hand checks at a distance.
- 1:20:50Incredible. All right, go snatch it.
- 1:20:53Damn it, it'll be A7. Maybe you can not take my
- 1:20:59parrot. His name is Pollywog.
- 1:21:02That's my parrot's name. Your parrot can be named
- 1:21:08something different. Mine is named Pollywog.
- 1:21:11I have dibs on the parrot. Everyone OK?
- 1:21:14OK, OK. Only if you can kill me.
- 1:21:18All right, Bond, It's your turn. All right?
- 1:21:20Me and those. Yeah.
- 1:21:21Sorry. I'm gonna grab a pair of gloves.
- 1:21:26Off of 1 of the pirates, yeah. Yeah, and try to put one of the
- 1:21:29cores back in. OK, so there's two unplugged
- 1:21:32give me intelligence check DC-15.
- 1:21:35Can I use guidance? Yeah, you can use guidance on
- 1:21:38yourself. Intelligence check or
- 1:21:39intelligence save? Just to check.
- 1:21:43That is gonna be an 11. An 11.
- 1:21:45You attempt to put it back in, but you're not entirely sure how
- 1:21:50it fits into this wall right now.
- 1:21:52Any bonus action or movement. I will cast spiritual weapon as
- 1:21:55a bonus action and create a floating spectral Mace and make
- 1:22:00an attack on him as part of the spell.
- 1:22:03So it is going to be a range spell or a melee spell attack
- 1:22:08which gets +6. So that is going to be a 15 to
- 1:22:14hit. 15 does not hit. Shit.
- 1:22:16All right, well, that was my turn.
- 1:22:19Awesome. The weapon remains there.
- 1:22:21Incredible. All right, top of the round,
- 1:22:24each of you roll 2 D 10s. Total of 11.
- 1:22:29Total of 4. I'm very sorry guys.
- 1:22:33It's going to be a total of 20. Oh my God.
- 1:22:37C2 Tens. This is the best rolling I've
- 1:22:39done all day. Fuck me.
- 1:22:42And it's the one that fucks us. Yeah.
- 1:22:44OK, the ship is now at half of its HP.
- 1:22:49OK, the ship is bloodied. The ship is bloodied and does
- 1:22:54not look good. If you can't get this fire flow
- 1:22:58core, it'll sink in the next like 2 rounds or so.
- 1:23:02Can I use like free speech to just shout at the the captain
- 1:23:07over there? I say at this rate, with the
- 1:23:10boat sinking, I don't even think you'll be able to get the core
- 1:23:12off. What's the point?
- 1:23:13He thinks for a little bit. And I'm going to use my free
- 1:23:17speech. You know what?
- 1:23:20You know what? I'm tired of people trying to
- 1:23:22kill me. Who cares if he sinks and dies?
- 1:23:24Come here. He's learned so much in his
- 1:23:29death, hasn't he? OK so the captain is going to
- 1:23:32roll just straight intelligence to see if he should retreat or
- 1:23:36not. Haha you are right I will
- 1:23:40retreat but not before. Matey, do you want to be a
- 1:23:44pirate with me? And he turns to Beau.
- 1:23:46Give me a wisdom saving girl. This is so.
- 1:23:53Ridiculous. He just goes around asking
- 1:23:54everybody if they want to be fired.
- 1:23:56He's the worst fire captain ever.
- 1:23:57Actually like like what? What do pirates do all day?
- 1:24:00Like what? What is?
- 1:24:01What is it like being a pirate I guess is my question.
- 1:24:04We steal we have so much money. I'm going to upgrade this ship
- 1:24:08next chance I get. I have stolen 1 fire flow core
- 1:24:11under my captain ship leadership and it was 1000 gold pieces.
- 1:24:18Interesting, interesting. So you say you steal.
- 1:24:21Yes. Do you want to join?
- 1:24:23I mean, I do like stealing. Frankly, we haven't done a lot
- 1:24:25of stealing as a group. I got to look at these guys.
- 1:24:29Yeah. Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
- 1:24:31I rolled A4. Great.
- 1:24:32On your turn, take out the last thing of the fire flow core and
- 1:24:36run with me. And he is going to roll
- 1:24:39persuasion with advantage. Yeah, that sounds like one of
- 1:24:42those gloves, though. Sounds like a great idea.
- 1:24:44I think I'll, I'll do that. Yeah.
- 1:24:47If you had to turn to everybody else, I'm like, guys, it's so
- 1:24:49simple. Let's just be pirates.
- 1:24:52And he's going to roll in 18 on his charisma and I guess you
- 1:24:58roll in insight check. 14. OK, yeah, you'd think that you
- 1:25:05could. You should probably take out the
- 1:25:06last, put on some gloves, take out the last one, and then head
- 1:25:09over with the pirate captain. Guys, guys, don't worry.
- 1:25:12Let's just destroy this core and get out of here.
- 1:25:14He's going to use the rest of his movement to get back on the
- 1:25:17deck, and he has to. Is he would have to get by me at
- 1:25:21that point. Absolutely, so you can roll an
- 1:25:24attack of Opportunity on him if you'd like.
- 1:25:27Does the spiritual weapon do anything if he tries to move or.
- 1:25:29Yeah. Does the spiritual weapon get a
- 1:25:31hack attack of opportunity? I don't think so.
- 1:25:32I think I I have to use a bonus action to make it do something
- 1:25:36so. Not 20, double the damage dice,
- 1:25:42right? Yep, a 15 damage.
- 1:25:45So as he comes up, I no longer have my spectral arms activated
- 1:25:48because they they disappeared when I went down.
- 1:25:50And I'm just going to he comes up and I just start punching him
- 1:25:54and I start saying you, you don't know what's after death.
- 1:25:57There's nothing. There's nothing.
- 1:26:00It's horrific and you're going. To That is why I'm leaving MIDI.
- 1:26:03That's why I'm leaving MIDI. And he takes the one punch from
- 1:26:07you and continues his way to the edge of the boat.
- 1:26:11That is the end of his turn, Abe.
- 1:26:14It is your turn. He's getting ready to flee.
- 1:26:17Yep, I'm I'm going after him. I think, I think I might shout
- 1:26:20to Abe. I say, Abe, we need help with
- 1:26:23the core. The whole ship is going to sink.
- 1:26:25Yeah. OK.
- 1:26:27Let him go. Abe, I need help pulling out the
- 1:26:30last connection on the core. What?
- 1:26:33Yeah. Could you help me with that and
- 1:26:35that? Kind of snaps me out the way
- 1:26:36that. Like, I really didn't want to do
- 1:26:38it, but the way the pirate guy put it, it makes a lot of sense,
- 1:26:41so I'm gonna do that, yeah. OK.
- 1:26:43And I'm gonna, I'm gonna run down.
- 1:26:45OK. You can get there with your
- 1:26:47movements. Yeah.
- 1:26:48And if you want to try to put one of them back in, I need an
- 1:26:52intelligence check. Nice, that's a 19.
- 1:26:57A 19, you get one of them back in.
- 1:27:00OK all right, there are no more pirates left to on turns to you
- 1:27:04guys and goes. All right, I think I can get one
- 1:27:07of them in too. Don't worry about it.
- 1:27:09She's got no intelligence. All right, I can't get one of
- 1:27:13them back, but don't worry, we will get it next time.
- 1:27:17All right, Bo, you want to unplug one of them?
- 1:27:19I still do, yeah. Give me a strength check.
- 1:27:22Is his charm condition based on a concentration speller?
- 1:27:25No. That's a great question.
- 1:27:26Because he took damage. It's until the start of Pirate
- 1:27:29Captains next turn. Gotcha.
- 1:27:31Can I use warding flame to give him disadvantage?
- 1:27:36What is the wording of wording flame?
- 1:27:38Is it attack the? Wording is that it is on an
- 1:27:41attack, but the way it's worded is it says you can use a
- 1:27:43reaction imposed disadvantage causing light to flare on their
- 1:27:46eyes. If it says attack, then I'm
- 1:27:49going to rule no. All right, cool.
- 1:27:51All right, Bo, give me a strength check.
- 1:27:54You need to get 15. 15 Well, good news is strength is -1 bad
- 1:28:01news is I've been rolling bad all day, so it stands to reason
- 1:28:04that this is the one roll I'm going to do well on.
- 1:28:07And I got a six on the die, so there's going to be a five
- 1:28:08overall. All right, Bo, you.
- 1:28:10You put on some gloves and you reach over and you cannot get it
- 1:28:14out and you feel really disappointed.
- 1:28:16I'm sorry guys, I let you down. All right, Bond, it's your turn.
- 1:28:21Can I wait until somebody else can help me and try to do it?
- 1:28:26Nah, Abe's going to go. We're going to get a bunch of
- 1:28:28shots at this potentially, so I think this is worth it.
- 1:28:31All right, I'm going to use guidance again and just try to
- 1:28:33get it back in. You said DC-17.
- 1:28:36DC-17 to get this one back in. OK, no, that is A5.
- 1:28:41OK, so Bond, you're trying to put it back in as well as you
- 1:28:44just really can't figure out where it goes.
- 1:28:47Everyone give me AD 10 rule. It's the top of the round boats
- 1:28:50taking damage. Just one this time, right?
- 1:28:52Yeah, just one. It's an 8.
- 1:28:56It's a 7 for me. It's a nine.
- 1:28:59Oh my God. All right.
- 1:29:02Boats not looking very good. All right, it's the pirate
- 1:29:06captain's turn. So Bo, that means you're out of
- 1:29:09your hold your charm condition right now.
- 1:29:12And the pirate captain, you can't see him.
- 1:29:14You can't hear him. There is.
- 1:29:15What happens is that one of the pirates from the ship above
- 1:29:18drops a rope and he starts climbing and he goes, all right,
- 1:29:21maybe he's, maybe next time I'll see you and you'll see me and
- 1:29:25we'll see each other. What was?
- 1:29:27What was your name? Oh, I was just about to say, you
- 1:29:30have not seen the last of Captain Scallywag.
- 1:29:35And he climbs. On Pollywog.
- 1:29:38That's why she's named Pollywog. Not not because of Pokémon this.
- 1:29:42Guy, I have never seen that. Abe, it's pirate.
- 1:29:47Captain's gone. The boat is going to start to
- 1:29:48move away. Abe, it is your turn.
- 1:29:51Yeah, if you want to do an intelligence check.
- 1:29:54Nat 20. Abe, you gave up revenge on the
- 1:29:59pirate captain to come down here and help your friends.
- 1:30:02And it seemingly was the the best idea you could have had
- 1:30:06because if not, the boat only had 26 hit points left.
- 1:30:10And you plug in the last of the extensions on the fire flow core
- 1:30:15and the boat steadies itself. And that's where we're going to
- 1:30:18end our session. Oh.
- 1:30:20Damn, oh man. I was going to ask Bo for his
- 1:30:22alchemist fire and toss it at their ship.
- 1:30:25I feel like the ships are pretty.
- 1:30:26What happens next? Time pervious to heat, so.
- 1:30:28Yeah, I feel like that wouldn't work at all with the with the
- 1:30:31fire flow core. I'd also isn't it like 90 feet
- 1:30:35up so. Yeah, yeah, 90 feet up to get to
- 1:30:38the deck, you have to really launch that thing all the way up
- 1:30:40there. Guess what, the way you describe
- 1:30:42the fire flow core it would just make the whole ship like half a
- 1:30:45degree warmer but. Yeah, anyways, that was a good
- 1:30:51battle against the pirates. And do not worry because Captain
- 1:30:54Scallywag will see you next time when you take the lava rivers.
- 1:30:59Huh. Okay, maybe I'll see you later,
- 1:31:05but before that, if you like the podcast, make sure to follow and
