- He punches your soul out of your body. What? No! Duh! That looks pretty bad! I love this new paradigm that Tannhauser has, which is, I'm a revolutionary turns into slime. I'm the last line of defense against League of Legends' Illaoi. Phase 4 is he explodes and sends us all to hell. All right, everyone. Are you ready for another exciting episode of... RAY! Thank you for the... My head hurts so bad. I wonder how many... Fix that. More scotch. I wonder... Thank you, by the way, chat, for also going, ah. Your job today is to literally comment on everything we're doing today. Okay? Yes. That's your entire job today. All right. We need to know. And I'm serious. Only straightforwardly, though. Only like you're a YouTube reactor and you got to go, whoa, that's crazy. And not elaborate. I get so angry at YouTube reactors. If I find any of them who just steal a video, just go, wow. And they just sit there. I just want to... I just... No. I can't say the jokes I want to say. Why not, huh? Both platforms would get upset. You're going to get in trouble for saying mean things? Yes. Well, maybe you shouldn't say mean things then, huh? I don't enjoy their methods. Their methods. I disdain them. We've actually had our stuff taken and reacted to. And I was like, oh, is he going to give an insightful commentary? And he just stole the video and just stared at it. And I'm like, hmm. So glad you enjoyed it, man. You going to say anything? A son moment. Oh, it's... Hmm. Sorry, that one caught me. All right. Welcome, everyone, to another exciting episode of Rock Grime. Before we all get super duper started, I have an announcement. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He's got an announcement. It can't be. Right now, you can go ahead and head over to narrativedeclaration.shop. There's no video editing needed. I'm just going to wiggle the same way. Da-da-da. What? You can go to narrativedeclaration.shop for brand new merch. We have a limited edition Journey Through Tine hoodie and T-shirt out right now. That's going to be available for an entire month along with some key chains of the entire Rock Grime crew along with some fancy enamel pins, which are also limited edition. If they sell super well, if they sell out tonight or something, then we'll probably be like, hey, we should probably just keep these around, you know? But basically... Otherwise, you're not going to get them so... Yeah. Otherwise, they're just going to be gone forever. So basically, the Journey Through Tine hoodies and T-shirts and the enamel pins are all limited edition. They'll only be around for a month starting from now. They'll be gone on May 31st, 2025. But of course, the key chains, if we ask them to look here, just kind of like get them more in stock the more they kind of sell. But there's limited stock, so you're going to want to buy them as quick as you can because it's going to be first come, first serve. Not a whole bunch got ordered, so you're going to need to get them as soon as you can. And also, I'll kind of zoom on the enamel pins if I can a little bit. They actually came out really nice. Skelly Bean did all this artwork, by the way. Skelly Bean's been really kicking butt and she even really wanted to do some merch stuff. So Skelly Bean's a really good job. That's what the enamel pins look like. There's all, there's Veena and Thurston, there's Orin, there's Baldrick, there's Tanhouser. And of course, you got all the pens, not the pens, the key chains, got Thurston, Tanhouser, got Veena, got Ruhua, you got a good old Orin, you got a good old Mr. Baldrick and get everything at narrativedeclaration.shop. But of course, you can also check the YouTube descriptions. We'll also have a merch link down there as well. But of course, if you're not interested in that type of stuff and you're just new to the merch stuff and new to us, also at narrativedeclaration.shop, you also get some of the normal stuff. The Eclectics merch is no longer there as of this time, but we're thinking of bringing some stuff back. Maybe bring in another, another Eclectics drop soon. But of course, you can get yourself a desk mat, some coffee mugs, various rock goons or rock rank t-shirts. And actually, one of the funniest things that a lot of people bought that desk mat. A lot of people love that desk mat. It is very nice. It's more, it's more of a game mat where you like kind of play your cards on, but it's basically a mouse pad material and stuff like that. It's really nice. I have like old prototypes and everything to the side of me, but I also have it as well. It's very, the colors are really nice on it. They're very vibrant. But other than that, every single thing that you buy helps us out, so we greatly appreciate that. We just want to let you know before all the stock disappears. So thank you all so very much for supporting us in the show. Thanks, guys. But of course, all that money also helps everyone else here with all the p-checks and stuff like that, starting off, who also I give money to. It is Odo Roshi. Hi, hello. It's me, Odo. Zorn gives me money sometimes. I'm going to be bringing you Veena, the sylph swashbuckler. Hooray. She's also here to take your money, but it's her panache. It's Hokey Crow. That's me. I take your money. I eat your money. I invest your money in my digestive tract. Hello, I'm Hokey Crow. And as always, I'll be playing the Konrasu Cleric Rahua. The one who will possibly be eating the money is Speaker. Hello, I'm Speaker D. My favorite thing is eating money. But more than money, I love crabs. I play Tanhauser. He's a wizard. Can you turn your game down for me, but like 50%? I've had you at 61%. You've got to quit telling him to adjust his mic. It's so high. It's too late. We've already started. Turn it right. Turn it left. That was so loud. Is it better now? I don't know. Down a little bit more. You sound the same. I have you at 30% and you're still loud. Okay. Now talk normally. Hi, I'm Speaker D. Are you turning it the right direction? It almost sounds worse. It's like you're... Cam says you got the Xbox mic going. All right. All right. What about now? Oh, fuck. It just... All right. All right. It's better now. Other way. No. Okay. How about now? It's already at the bottom. Easy. Keep this in. Try the other way now. Let's see if it gets worse. All of this. All right. All right. All right. Can you hear me now? No. I can hear you. I can hear you before. That's not the problem. Can you turn it all the way one way? I did. Try the other way. No. Well, then it mutes me. Speaker, do that anyway. Click on your sound settings in your computer. Change your mic's gain to like slightly less than 100 and then adjust the gain on the mic. All right. Let's see what we got here. I have you at 30% and you sound like you are right next to me. I'm going to go get my blizzard while you deal with this. How much do you have? First you have the scotch from Lidl, the scotch. All right. Now you got the blizzard? Oh, I wish I had a fucking blizzard right now. Sorry, the scotch. Yeah. Oh. Hi. This is the difference between our show and everybody else's show. We usually just do it raw with all the audio stuff. Like, oh, man. One day, I hope that we can raise enough money monthly on Patreon so I can hire an audio engineer. That's been on the bucket list for a while. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You fucking said this and it just like cuts to like a person in this asylum like three days after trying to fix speakers' audio and they're just like rocking back and forth. Zoran, you could hire me as an audio engineer. I have the ability to reach my hand through someone's screen and grab their microphone and be like, I'm going to, I contort it into like a banana shape. There's going to be one day I want to make Speaker just webcam-y or like, like, just, just video call me. Okay. All right. Hold up. Hang on. Let's listen to his stuff. Now, Speaker, say a sentence. Am I better now? Keeps talking. Hey, what's up, everybody? I'm Speaker D. I am the origami killer. There we go. I'm going to boost you up on my end. Now, speak like Tanhauser. I'm Tanhauser. I'm the origami killer. There we go. I can just boost you a bit on my end. That is so baffling because I, I, I dragged your audio up now, so now you're audible. Not only did whatever you did eliminate that horrific tinny explosion, I don't know how you managed that in the first place. That scares me, man. I, I think that he's just loud. I'm just that good. Okay. Let's, let's, let's test this theory. Speaker, be loud. I'm speaking and I'm so loud. Yeah, that's fine. That's also not bad. Yeah, you're good now. You're good now. Something he did before made his microphone be like, I have regressed 50 years to the advent of Pong. It's been regressing 50 years. It's Aaron. Oh, fuck off. Oh yeah, we're doing intros. I know we're doing intros. They're not doing audio testing. Here. Yeah. Hi, it's me. Erndl playing Baldrick. Weathers, the alchemist move on. I'm going to kill you. And of course, we have our lustiest, lustiest game master Thurston of the hills. Oh man. Oreo blizzard. Oh, so good. You have to put that down in a sec. No. Did you bring it up for the class Thursday? It's all for me. It's all for me. It's all for me. It's all for me. It's all for me. And the one, the one who's on the diet is Zorn, the wizard. Hi everybody. I am your host for this evening. I'm playing Orin, the strict druid. And, uh, we, last time we left off on the glorious adventures of Rotgrine, Johnny through time. We basically were planning, uh, planning at the Hegemon's hideout to infiltrate the docks of Outset. Basically we did various things, trying to look around, trying to figure out, Ooh, what can we do to infiltrate into these airship docks? Once formulating a plan, it failed immediately. As soon as we engaged into the airship itself, we were able to use, use awesome gravitational pulls and, and the thought in the awesome, planning of most of our adventures to basically infiltrate inside of the airship. But before we were able to fully board in after destroying a bridge, cause there's like a rock gun that's trying to get in the way. And we just like, you just, you have to, you have to destroy the bridge where there's a rock gullum on it. Like it's going to be so cool after doing that. After doing that, we heard someone come on top of the bridge, a person with multiple arms, basically the boss man himself, threatening us, the defender of the airship, the one who was sent over to look after it. I forget his name off the top of my head, but he is the one that we are going to be potentially dealing with today. So Thurston. Yeah. What wild and wacky adventures do you have for us today? That's going to be like a really easy fight and not like kill us in any way, shape or form. Yeah. That guy doesn't look like a boss to me. Well, we got like, we got two and a half hours. So, you know, we'll see. Um, you know, maybe he's only got just two and a half points. Yeah. You get a hero point. I know you're farming for it. You, you know, you know what? I want to take that hero point and I'm going to give it to Aaron. Why? Yay. Why? Cause you showed up the earliest. I mean, if I got a, if I got a hero point for that, I'd be, I'd be getting it consistently. I think. I mean, hello, everybody. Um, yeah. Uh, chat chat. I'm going to, going to need your help here. Okay. Okay. Don't try with me. Oh, chat. You're with me. Okay. I'm scared. Okay. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Can you, can you all do some Latin chanting for me? Oh, no. Oh, no. Thanks. Some, some, some big old Latin. Enchanting. Well, that builds well. I got to change the playlist. That's going. Yeah. It's going to be fun. Right. YouTube search. Dark souls. Yeah. It's always fun. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Okay. Um, I'm just going to, just going to bring us over, um, back to this, uh, back to this scene that we were in. And, uh, yeah, the immense form of the Tyrant's Guild, Martinet of Arcallion emerges from the lower deck, standing top of the rear deck of, of, of the airship. Uh, Orin is underneath it. The rest of you are hiding on boxes. The bridge is destroyed. This hulking figure comes up and lets out a, a roar of sorts. Uh, man, can I get you all to roll initiative again, please? I would love to. Yes. Yes, you do. Did we go on the, we didn't go on the, the ship before. Did we? No, we didn't. Very funny. Well, why don't we just stay on this side? He can't currently the position, uh, that we're in just, it was also as a reminder for, for audio listeners. Yeah. Um, currently right now, uh, imagine the ship a long ways going left and right. Right. Uh, at the very beginning of the battle last episode, Orrin basically went yoink and jumped off the side and started flying around under the ship, trying to get behind it, but everyone was able to kill everything fast enough. So Orrin is about 40 feet under the ship, pretty much like touching the very bottom of it. Um, everyone else is to the very north behind various crates and boxes. Uh, there was a bridge that was connecting that platform to the airship, but we destroyed it because of course there was a big golem in the way. Uh, so we decided to say, you know, let's just blow that up. And as of this time, uh, we're all in various precarious situations right now. It's going to be fine. Also, it's going to be fine. It really needs to roll. There you go. I was going to ask about stealth because I'm still invisible, right? Oh yeah. You are still invisible. I also rolled a... Is your stealth better than your perception? I, it's probably not. Yeah. You need your benefits. I'm just, uh, I'm just going to say, I think your perception is, uh, yeah, yeah, let's use your perception. I'm hiding behind a box still, so I rolled my stealth as my, uh, initiative and I got a 35. Very good. Uh, well, Baldrick Weathers, you get to go first and, uh, let's have everyone else go through their initiative order after Baldrick. Uh, just want to clarify, I am, I had flying put on me before all this, right? Yep. Okay. Yep. Also, just to announce the initiative order, where we rolled, Baldrick got a 35, Tenhouser got a 35, Vietnand got a 33, Oren got a 23, uh, DeBauth got a 22, and Rahua got a two, but he was lower because, you know, That's fine. Let him move at speed of Cleric. True. Um, okay. So, how am I, I still move at my normal speed while flying though, right? Or how, how fast is it? I need to help me to check this again. Uh, so that was a fly spell. 25. Who cast that on you? So I've got 25 foot. That's flight. Okay, perfect. Sorry, I had to, I had to look for it on my sheet there for a second. So 25, what I'm going to do is, that doesn't get me very far at all. I am going to reposition to a place that will hopefully let me get a better shot on him without also exposing myself needlessly to this guy's scary to this guy's scary this. I think that sounds sensible. Uh, so what I'm probably going to do is I'm going to do a two action move to about there? Do I have to do anything to go from walking to flying or is it just like No, you can do two action moves. What, where did you get your flying from? Remind me, it was... I'm pretty sure I got it from either Rahua or Tanhauser. You definitely didn't get it from me because I have... It was from me. Okay. What did you cast on him to give him that? I cast fly. Okay. So... Yeah. Where do you get fly from? Fly. Is this a spell he gets? Yeah, just my spell list. Oh, okay. Oh, the reasons I'm on there right now is because I had it started switching the spells out for our one... Well, something that we were doing. Oh, yeah, I gotcha. Okay. Yep, gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha. So, yeah, I'll run and then fly 50 feet to there. And it's 20 feet is the movement speed on fly. So, that overrides your land speed, which is 25. So, you're a bit slower flying. That's all. It says, it says I'm doing a 50 foot move there. Well, that's because it's using your land speed. You don't have the fly effect on you. I'll add it to you, but it will use your base land speed because it doesn't know that this is like going to your death. So, if you're flying, it's 20 feet movement. Okay, so I'll go here then for two moves. Yeah. And then I am going to go down 20 feet. Sure. So, I'm out of sight. So, if you right click on your token, yes, there's a, yes, there's an elev, no, there's an elevation. It's in the top left underneath the torch there and you can set that to minus 20. Yeah, perfect. There we go. Cool. And that's my, that's my state effect. walk and walk off and then fall down 20 feet before hovering. All right, that's your turn. Tenhauser. Tenhauser's turn is going to be pretty simple, actually. Um, I'm going to get started. The monster net is upon us. Let us prepare for his winnowing. And, um, I'm going to cast Loose Times Arrow. And I'm going to give, uh, everybody except for Oren, um, Quickened. Uh, you can only use this extra action to step or stride. Um, this will last until the end of my next turn. Um, then, uh, with that effect now in play, uh, I am going to make a recall knowledge check on the Martinet. Uh, I'd like to get some information about our foe. Sure, society. Absolutely. Uh, you got it. Want to go cool thing, speaker? Yeah. A new HUD thing? Uh, pretty much see these, like, uh, buttons on the top, like the hand icon and stuff. There should be, like, three cubes stacked on each other. Click that for me. There'll be recall knowledge and then click the, when you hover over it, a little die will show up. Click that for me. And that'll give Thurston, it'll roll, and it'll give Thurston basically results for your recall knowledge. I'm, I'm trying to find what you are referring to. It's okay. I will show you. Okay. Don't worry. I got it. Thank you. Oh, it is their land speed. Never mind. You do get to 10 extra feet of movement. Sorry. I'm, I'm dumb Baldrick. Take your 10 extra feet. I would take a screenshot. I took a screenshot. I'm putting it in our chat thing. I'm feeling up there. Let me see. Yeah, I don't see any of that. Okay. You don't see the HUD at all? I see. I see. Have you clicked on your token? Have you clicked on your token? Yeah. If you don't see it, just roll the sign. I'm delaying you too much. Just go. Wait, hold on. Maybe I'm not in combat. You just took yourself out of combat. God damn it. There he is. I'm so sure. Why did you, you never press that button. Well, I thought that maybe I forgot to press the button. You were in the turn order. I'm, you know, I'm not, I'm going to roll society. I fixed. I got a 31. Okay. Um, you know nothing about this beyond the rumors that you've heard. All right, everyone. The secret to defeating this is, I don't know. Just kill the bastard. Um, okay. And, uh, yeah, I think I am going to, uh, end my turn. That's all I got. So you're going to recall knowledge and end your turn. Yep. Because, uh, recall knowledge is a, uh, single action, right? Yeah. Oh, and then you cast loose time zero. Yep. Yep. Fair enough. Fair enough. I wanted to add some quick flavor to how Baldrick does the thing. He walks to the edge and he just seems to fall off it like he gave up. Yeah, just like, I'm done. Yay! Uh, all right. Um, there is a bridge or there is no longer a bridge. So I'm going to spend my first two actions to pop out the wings of air. Uh, I'm going to, will this effect, will it drag onto me? Please? It's not dragging onto me. Anyway, I'm going to use two actions to, uh, uh, bamf out my wings of air. These big cloudy wings that, uh, manifest upon Venus back. and then that's two actions and then I get an extra to stride. Yeah, from, uh, from our good friend Tan Husser's loose time arrow. All right, so I'm going to go, uh, five, 10, 15, 20, 25. Um, and can I go into the air as a part of this stride or will that have to be a new action? That's where we get into triangles. Yeah, going up is difficult terrain. Yeah. Okay. Um, so if I just go forward, does that, can I count that as a part of my first move? We're flying. Okay, what are you trying, so are you moving forward like to there? Okay. Yeah, so I move 25 there, um, but I have 40 feet, so if I go 30 here, would I have to make a second move? Okay. If you want to move up or down? Yeah. Yeah, if you want to take advantage of the loose times arrow, you can go up to there with your normal stride. That's it. Now you have three actions now. Okay. And then for your second action from here, you can then start flying forward anywhere. Okay, cool. That's what I meant. Yeah. Okay, so I'll take the free stride up to the edge. I'll jump off, uh, and I'm going to go. Yeah, so you would start here if you want. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, here we go. Why does it keep throwing me off to the side of the screen? Uh, okay, second, second move, five, uh, ten. Uh, okay. Why does it keep doing this? refresh on your foundry? Yeah. You're probably holding on a key vine or something. No, you're good. Am I? I see why. I, I, there was a thing. I fixed it. Oh, okay. Technical difficulties. It was one of the add-ons we have interacting poorly with something I have, so that's all. Well, now foundry doesn't want to load. Um, I don't remember where I am. I don't remember where I am. If it pauses, so. Um, here it goes. Good old froundry. Oh, froundry. Oh, froundry. She's mad at me today. First it's, well, I think foundry's mad at you every time you play. That's true. This is true. Because you'll get into the game, it'll start, you know, doing minus ten to all your rolls. I also sure have been able to fix our, our Keeley rule because apparently it went through the settings. I'm like, oh, they got turned off for some reason. Weird. Oh. I have turned it back on. Um, so that's going to be, uh, five, ten, fifteen, twenty. Um, and then I'm going to go up another ten feet. Okay, and that'll cost you twenty to fly up. Yeah. So, yeah. All right. There we go. Uh, and I believe that is all I can do this turn. Cool. Um, yeah, two actions for the wings. Yeah. End. Oh, no, it's me. It's you, buddy. It's my turn. Forty feet under the hull of the ship. What are you doing, buddy? I'm spinning all these difficult terrains to fly up. He just dive bombs the ground. He's out of here. With his natural flapping, she's just, hey, hey, just trying to fly up. So, so I, I'm going to draw a little, uh, just a little demonstration down on the bottom here, just to kind of, because this is what I do to kind of visualize a little bit. So, uh, Oren is, is, is here. So I have to move up. Let's see. So basically just show chat what I'm doing. One thing, if you ever need to visualize in 3d space, where you are, imagine like you're, it's like a super Mario level, make a line. And then with that line, uh, you could make a square or just like anything to kind of indicate where you're at, which I'm going to make a, uh, basically a little circle of mine. And with that circle, I can now go, okay, cool. I know exactly know where I'm at. So, and if I take all of this stuff, it may make like a grid out of it. Uh, I can kind of like tell horizontally where I'm at. So I'm here. So five, 10, 15, 20, that's one, five, 10, 15, 20. That's two. Five, 10, 15, 20. That's, that's, uh, I want to go down a little bit. Cause I don't want to get right up at the edge and have that guy go. Bird. And then I'm just dead. So I'll be minus five feet, uh, here. Um, minus five feet near the edge here. And that's going to be all my actions. Unfortunately, don't worry. I'll get my height here fixed. There we go. Uh, that'll be all my actions there. Any of the turn. Okay. No. I'm beginning to regret my choice being a frontliner. The boss. The boss bar. Oh, the boss bar. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Coming up, uh, witnessing you, uh, Veena. Witness me. The skeletal arms on the martinette's back begin clawing the air as though grasping at you. Uh-oh. Give me a fortitude save. Oh, sorry. Reflex save is, uh, the one here. Yeah, a reflex save. A reflex save for me. Yeah. Ugh. That wasn't very good. That's a 26. I think I'm going to re-roll that with a hero point. Hero point. Okay. Okay. Go. All right. We're all using a hero point. Much better. That is a 36. Yeah. Excellent. Excellent. He will then, uh, so you feel this spectral force as though reality is being rent, and it's like you're being almost pulled towards it, but then you manage to duck out of the way of it. Oh, oh, I don't like that. He will then walk up to here. He will survey the kingdom around him. And he will make you give me one more reflex save, Vina. One. All right. Watch this. Oh, my God. All right. That's a three for a 24, right? That's a 24. Uh, so that'll be a failure, which pulls you 30 feet towards him. Oh. It's what you wanted anyway. He's out of actions. You got him right where you want. So that's 10 up. Uh, 10, uh, 22 there. Oh, oh, I'm close now. Actually, two there. Sorry, my bad. Uh, as you are like pulled up along the deck, the claws are dragging you closer and you, you can see the grill plate on the Martinet's mask behind it is some kind of vicious mouth. That's like biting behind the grill plate as though it wants to consume you. Um, Hey guys, I don't want to be the front liner anymore. Somebody else come do it. You had to hire AC Vina. You're doing a great job. So I have no fear. I put, I put myself in a little bit of a predicament Thurston. Yeah. Yeah. I have, I got big leggies. I have no means to close this gap and I need to be up there for doing defensive bullshit. It's pretty true. With that in mind, that time. You said, that I remember the bridge is not there. So, yes. Yes. Oh, oh, believe me. I factored that one into my calculations. Okay. So Thurston, if I'm reading the rules as written correctly, in order to long jump, I need to stride before I can attempt the jump. Correct. So I would like to stride up to 10 feet and attempt to long jump the 25 foot gap. There's more like a 30 foot gap. Oh my God. Uh, yeah. Please don't fall. Yeah, absolutely. It's, uh, please. What's the, what's the DC that I need? Well, um, you stride and then attempt a DC 15 athletics check. Um, success is you leap a distance equal to your check results rounded down to the nearest five feet. So, um, you will, um, you will need to give me a 30 on this check. Actually, what's your, actually, are you, what's your land speed? My land speed is 20. Uh, you can't long jump further than your land speed. Fuck. Okay. I can't. Well, guys, good luck. You're too slow. I can't do anything, but I can, I can hit you with fly next turn if you need it. You know what the funny part is though? For you to hit him with fly, you have to see him. Fucking girl. Ah, yes. Speaker D make the combat encounter more difficult. You're welcome. I'll do it again. Yeah. Can you do me a solid and I need to make sure that I'm really locking in. Oh God. This is great. Slave night. Gale music just came up on my Spotify. This is perfect. All right. All right. I don't think you can add it to your Spotify, but can you add this to your music for yourself? If you don't mind. Excellent. We'll do. A reference. Arendelle length, the orb of the undead from Bother's Gate, Dark Alliance. This song holds special meaning to me because of me and my roommate panicking while fighting that while. it was. All right. So he's about 50 feet away. I should have. Okay. Oh my goodness. I should have. I didn't think the tree had to jump at any point. So I never factored this in. Well, don't worry. Tanhauser also can't do it unless he like teleports. Hey man, I got a grappling hook. Give it to him. That's awesome. I would, but I can't see him. Just drop it on the ground. I can, I can give you my grappling hook if you want it. Uh, I, I have something I can do with this. Okay. All right. I have very few spells that can reach that length. However, I do have one. I'm going to target the Martinet. I'm going to pull back the fabric of space. Mm-hmm. And I'm going to try and get him stuck in. I'm going to cast stagnate time. It's a DC 26 will save from Mr. Martinet. Okay. I'm going to, you know, we'll give it the old, the old try here. Let's see. Yep. That'll be, it'll be, uh, the success. Critical success. In fact, great. He shrugs it off entirely as you attempt to stagnate time. Um, the focus of this entity is entirely on the Vena who has come close, but Baldrick, you're up. All right. Uh, so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to, I'm going to delay my turn. Okay. Cause I want to, uh, I want to see, I want to see what he's going to. I'm not going to, I'm not going to react to him because I can't see him first and foremost. So I'm going to just delay my turn. Yeah. I'm going to just delay. Uh, let me just press the delay button. Sounds good. All right. Uh, there's a little, uh, hourglass. So if you click that beside your thing, it should, Oh, it might not be. Oh, I got you. There you go. I got it. Uh, Tannis or you're up. All right. The fact that Rahua is stuck on this side of the map is something of concern to me, but I mean, sometimes it should be like that. Uh, yeah, I'm going to go ahead. I can't really help him. Right now. Here's don't ask me. Here's a question. Here's a question. I'm not on your side. Hostile game master. Hostile game master. I'm sorry. The dark souls boss health bar. Wasn't it? Of course. Of course. Game master's supposed to ruin his son, man. Not with your demise. Can a friendly player choose to fail a save critically fail it? Yeah. All right. Rahua, if you choose to critically fail a save, I can get you across that barrier. Sure. I think I know what you're going to do. I need you to measure it first. All right. Okay. Hold on. Do the math first before you start. I know what you're doing. It's 30 feet. Okay. So, so that's going to put him right there. I am going to realize in the situation, I'm going to cast, I'm going to quick cast gust of wind. And let me go ahead and place that a 30 foot line. Oh, I didn't mean to put it there. Oh, this wall. Wow. You sure moved those boxes back 30 feet. That line has to come from you. You can't just put it randomly. Oh really? Yeah. Oh, okay. It comes from you. You don't just put it randomly throughout the world. That's fine. I have a free stride action. Yeah. You get behind him and then push. Yeah. Yeah. Move here. quick and cast a gust of wind. Find some way to put the line properly. I'll fix it. Give me a sec. I think I can fix it. I am. Please fix the square. What did you? Oh wait, I got it. I got it. I got it. Yeah. Okay. Oh my God. There you go. Okay. Okay. We got it. We got it. Speaker, it has to come from you. Oh, it doesn't adjust the fucking image. From your token. From your token. I was moving it. Okay. I was moving. Okay. But the problem is it doesn't actually. Holy fuck. You keep dropping things down. What is happening? I'm trying to. Stop. Stop. I'm taking control. I'm assuming direct control here. Give me a moment. Okay. Erndl's bottling out. See you in a minute. There. That. There. That. There. All right. All right. If you auto fail. It is a really nice effect. That's why I wanted to get to fucking work. If you auto fail, you will be pushed 30 feet and take 2d6 bludgeoning damage. Vina, I recommend you not failing. Okay. I just critically fail this save. Save. It's actually a fortitude save. The most. Fortitude? The most competitive friendly mage. Come on. You're tough. You're always drinking. He was thinking on his feet. Oh my god. It hopped off that one, y'all. It was there. And then it bounced. So the only thing for you is that you can't move against the wind. Which means you can't retreat. Well. No retreat. No retreat. I guess I am technically the frontliner. Do I have to? And, uh, uh, Rahula, you're, you're going to go ahead and you're going to take this much damage. Seven bludgeoning. I'm down. Didn't you? I'm dead. I'm dying five. You're going to fly right to there. I auto fail my AC check and I break my neck. How much damage do I take, GM? Yeah, Thurston, can I, when he knocked me off the ledge into the ship's rafters, could that one like errant splinter that I got snagged on have been coated with, I don't know, leprosy? Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks, Alpha. I've made you prone because that's also an effect for critically failing here. Oh, yeah. Well, you're prone to, but you know, at least you're over. Another, yeah, you made it. Another successful spell for me, the wizard Tannhauser. I hate this guy. I hope he blows up. Look, I, I, I'm, I'm going to give the speaker. He, he, he saw a spell and he found a solution like a wizard should. So, yes, he did. Good job. Good job. You know what, speaker, speaker, give yourself a hair point. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Um, for the rest of my turn, however, um, I have a couple of options. I did quicken that so I can cast something else. Um, however, I understand that we are in for one hell of a boss fight. So I'm going to take this opportunity and I'm going to cast a nanite shroud, something I've had for a long time. And I've always had, but I've never used. Um, I am going to be concealed for the next five rounds. Um, which is going to hopefully help with some of the aggro that I usually wind up taking. Okay. Um, that is, uh, oh yes, that's my turn. Cool. Can you remove your template effect there for me? Uh, top left, click the measurement tool, then make sure you have on the little grid tool. Then it's on the top one. Then you click, then you basically hover over the effect. That's right by your token and press delete. Yeah. Um, just do it. I, I, I was literally hovering over it. I was literally. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks guys. You're welcome. You're welcome. I'm not, I'm not meeting the fucking airhead allegations. No. All right. Vina. Okay. Uh, so question, how high up is this ledge? It's about five feet. About five feet. Okay. Uh, that's why I guess. Like, like up. So yeah, like you'd have to get up to about five feet. Yeah. All right. Well, uh, in that case, I'm going to, uh, would that be, it can't be a part of my move. Could it? What? Uh, getting up those five feet. Oh, oh yeah. Like you'd have to jump or climb or something along those lines. It's not like it's difficult terrain to go vertically. Right. Yeah. Are you still flying? Um, I'm still flying. So I can, uh, uh, I can just go here. Yeah. You easily. You just. Okay. So you're going to move there. Cool. Yep. Uh, that's going to trigger, that's going to trigger an attack of opportunity. You forgot he could a up. You fool. I mean, reactive strike into it. He could react. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was right. Yeah. Yeah. If he had five foot, he wouldn't trigger, but since he has reach, you go to the first. Cause the claws on his back have reach Vina. Oh, and they, the ones that were trying to pull you towards them. One of them lashes out to claw at you. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, that's a noise. Almost created you. Yeah. Almost, almost created you. That's fine. That's fine though. I'm seeing my life flash before my eyes and this, the fight just started. Oh, these 17 points of damage from one of the claws. Ow. As it strikes across you, tearing into your chest. Ow. All right. Fucker. I'm going to tumble through. Sure. Fuck you, asshole. But, but Odo, since you're flying, does this not mean that's an air dash? Um, so here, here's the, here's the funny thing. Here's the funny thing. Once you're there, you can tumble through. You just can't do a tumble. Like you couldn't have fly tumbled because you can only tumble while striding. So exactly. So I, I use my fly to get up and now I'm tumbling through him. Okay. That will be a success. Bing. I love it. A little, a little, a little, when you succeed. All right. And I'm going to go to here. Make it easier for my friends to come flank if need be, though. I think that I might be the only one who stays in melee. Yeah. I'm, I'm famous for getting in melee Odo. Yeah. Yeah. Get on over here. We all know that, uh, bombs are most effective at point blank range. If you want to, if you want to go get, if you want to go get Vic, it's only a month's trip to go find her. True. Where's Vic? Is she safe? Is she okay? Anyway, I'm going to hit him with my sword. Everyone forgets about my boy Gorgamonger. Well, he ain't here now. I have to summon him because he can't fly yet. Yeah. So where is he? I'll snap my fingers in a minute. Fuck off. He's going to fall to his demise under the boat. Anyway, I'm going to hit him with my sword. Boom. Critical. There you go. There we go. There you go. Okay. A good crit to start it off. Let's see. The only one for you this session, maybe. Zoran, don't say that to me. Not bad damage. That's going to be 61 total points of damage. Yeah. Vino will leap up with the wings, tumble through, and jab the rapier deep into his back, trying to find a weak point between the claws. There is a guttural roar as this armored figure, this hulking beast, turns around towards you. It's claw, its skeletal claws on its back shifting around, but it's fists moving up. I'm in danger. I'm going to end my turn. Wait, why is he rolling? Because he had to make a fortitude save against your crit specialization. Bing. Oh, yeah. When you get the frost effects. Yeah. When you get the first hit riposte on the, on the boss in Dark Souls. Yeah. All right. When there's this stupid little move, and you riposte it, and he's like, oh, fuck, I'm the final boss. Ow. Oh, yes. Oh, fuck, I'm the final boss. I'm the final boss of the Dark Souls game. I'm cooked. All right. I'm ending my turn. Okay. All right. Uh, Orin will basically do like a little hook over onto, uh, the bridge itself. Uh, unfortunately to bring my Dolan back, it's all three actions. So I get to do other stuff first. Um, I am going, ah, okay. How can I strategize this guys? Oh, uh, she's. Maybe if I, oh, fuck. Oh, shit, dude. Ah, fuck. Ah. That's Orin's famous catchphrase. Ah, fuck. Ah, shit, dude. Tell him. Well, he's like, Peter, Peter, come on, Peter. Oh, Peter. Peter. Hey, Peter. Hey, Orin. Hey, I'm going to cast haste upon myself. Yeah. Fair enough. I cast haste, that's one action, and then two actions to cast haste, and Orin's sad. That's the end of his turn. Aw. Cool. Well, Veena. Yeah, Thirsten? Uh, Vorkalion is going to raise one of its fists, and he is going to bring it down. I didn't do that. Oh, oh. Oh, okay. I miss you. It doesn't crit mess. I can't hit him. No. Um, with its next action, it's going to spend two actions. Uh-oh. And it is going to make another attack. Uh, let's see if this hits. Oh. Oh. Oh, good. Oh, good. Um, so it strikes you with its fist. It's using two actions for this. I need a DC, well, I need a fortitude save from you, please. Fortitude save from me? Yes. Okay. I guess. I guess. Okay, that's not bad. That's a 30. Cool. Cool. Um, just give me one sec here. Oh, that's beautiful. I like that. Um. Why? All right, everyone? I'm everyone. Uh, Veena drops. What? Oh. Huh? The fine drop. Veena, you fall unconscious. Oh, my God. All right, Veena, uh, one sec, I'm not done. One, two, three, four. He hit me with that eepy, sleepy punch. Oh, my God. He punches your soul out of your body. Oh, my soul. Your soul is now decorporated from, discorporated from your body. This is what happens on your turn. Your soul, which is basically your action, is it can do move actions. The only thing your discorporated soul can do is it can do move actions. If it ends on the same square as your body, you can spend an interact action to reintegrate with your body. Two actions. Ouch. So, that's, that's where Kallians go this round. Ruhua. Um, wow. I should clarify, none of you see the soul. You just see this thing punch Veena square in the chest, and her body crumples and falls. Yikes. Ooh, that looks pretty bad. So, tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to, we're going to move 20 feet up there. We're going to go up here. We're going to go all the way up the stairs. Just, just to clarify, she didn't take any damage, did she? She, oh, uh, she would take regular damage. So I should just do that. I was very confused, but it's like, he just, he just goes like, beep. Yeah. Yeah. He's poked it. Yeah. I'll do the regular damage that she's not taken. If I recall. Which is 28. Ow. Cool. If I recall from Vercallion. Your soul cries. Oh. If I recall from Vercallion, he eats souls, but not people. Is that right? Who knows? Who knows? I remember the stories. Uh-huh. Yup. You're still prone, by the way. Oh yeah. Shit. He crawls. Just, just say you used your first thing to stand up before you redo everything. I will use my first action to stand up. I'm going to expect six actions to run in circles. Apologies. It's the fight with trees. Tree razor all over again. You can spin that action. You can get here, and then you'll have one action left. He's, he's moving in a wild arc. How do you guys do this with your, with your characters? Okay. That's your movement. Yeah, it is. Okay. Um, as you move in, his, um, his skeletal, uh, arms, uh, reactive strike you. How can you see him? I'm invisible, dude. He senses life. He has life sense. You take prawn off you. I took it off you. Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. So when you go from here to here, uh, that's when you attack you. I can't take this triangle that he's built. I know. It's bad. But Thurston, I've only been alive for like three years. Have I really, truly lived? Am I really, truly alive? Oh. I'm going to, I'm going to hit you, and I'm going to do some skeletal damage to you. It's going to hit you with a skeletal damage. Wait a minute, Thurston. Doesn't he have to do the DC 11? Uh, no, because, because he, because he, he sees him perfectly. He sees the light. Oh, he sees him. It wasn't just a sense. Yes. Okay. Yeah. It's a thing. It's, it's a, it's a precise thing because he sees people's souls to eat them. Um, I read you. All right. Uh, but, but he doesn't critically, so he doesn't stop your action. He just damages you on the way in. That's great. Uh, I am going to smack him with a pick because I, that's all I can do is at least put some chip damage on him. We're going to hit him with that. For this much. It's a miss. That was really bad. Hero point. Oh, you do have a hero. Thurston, he's going to punch my soul right out of my ass. I'm going to save that hero point for just, uh, for a future role. True. That's fair. That's fair. That's my go. Okay. Baldrick, do something. And with the dot, Baldrick. Yeah. By the way, since I put mine on delay, I'm going after, why does it say Rahua has yet to roll to be placed in combat? I, I don't know. It changed his initiative order for some reason. Take yourself out of initiative when you were pressing all those buttons. Okay. No. He did. I like that. I rolled the same initiative for you somehow. That's good. That's a power. All right. So just want to clarify. I went, I put myself at the end of the last turn order, but now it's got me at the start of the turn order again. Oh yeah. Cause you never came off of delay. Like you never came into the initiative order. So, so now you're, you stay where you are, but now you can go again. I don't understand, but that's okay. Uh, basically you were waiting. And at any point you could say I'm, I'm interjecting now and doing. Okay. But the whole turn passed. Yeah. That's why I was, ah, mother fuck. All right. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. I'm gonna do rough terrain to fly upward again. Yeah. So that'll be two actions to go where I was before. Right. There's them. Uh, well it's, it's five, like 10 feet for every five feet up you go. Yeah. So it'll be like, yeah, that's confusing in my brain. How about, how do I calculate this going up 25 feet? Sorry. My brain's not doing math right now. So if I, if I go use my method here, please. Okay. So I'm going to make this floor for you. So imagine this as, as the floor. And now I'm going to draw a circle. And this is where you are currently. So if you want to go up, you're currently, you're 25 feet down. So imagine me moving this circle up is five feet up. So let's say if you want to go up, it's going to be, uh, like five. Uh, it was like five, 10, 15, 20, 25. 25. And so then at that point, you'll be at level with the ship. So it'll be for one action. And then next action, you can just go around the ship and off you go. Okay. So one action to get up to the railing and then next action, you just on the ship itself. But if you want to keep flying, I don't want to, I don't want to go on the ship. Okay. I don't want to be anywhere close to melee with this. That sounds like a bad idea. One action. You should be able to just hang around the side of the ship. Do be aware. He does have some woogly boogly stuff to go deal with flying people. I know. I'm just, I'm, uh, I'm just letting you know what your options are. I know. I know. I'm being, it does feel like I'm being pushed towards it. Just give me a sec. The thing. I don't really have a lot of good options here because I'm basically just going to waste my entire move going onto the ship. So I'd rather do it from a better angle. I'll tell you what, instead of going on the ship right over there, I'm going to instead move 50 feet towards the rear of the ship. And then I'm going to move up against the back of it here for another, for our third move. And then next turn, I'll rise up and do something. So that'll be my move. So just moving around. Okay, cool. Yep. Tanhauser, you're up. All right. I am Tanhauser. My plan. It's extreme. All right. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to cast fly on myself. Then I'm going to cast time jump and I am immediately going to take two fly actions. So here is one. And here is two. And that's my turn. Okay. The spirit of Vina. Oh boy. My soul. It's a good thing I passed. Yeah. Cause I can go here with one action, or I can go back to my body with one action. Second action. Interact. Third action. You can get out of being prone. Oh, I can kip up for some panache. Yeah. Yeah. Or rather I stand up. This movement doesn't trigger actions. That's what kip up actually does. There we go. Sweet. Yeah. So I can stand up without him hitting me. Good call. And God, that's going to have to be my whole turn. That is. Oh, that'll be it. I got one good hit in. You did. So far. So far. So far. Or ahead of us. I have to summon my friend. Get your friend in here. I have to. I will summon my, I do the young. And, uh, yeah, he has appeared adjacent to me. So, I got him summoned. Don't worry. So bring him up to me. And that's the end of my, that's the end of my turn. Cause I have to spend an action to do act together. And so I can't spend that action to have him go do a turn. So we're going to have to sit there. Okay. That's one important thing for some, or some people have messed that up. And they're like, Oh, my guy has a turn now. It's like, no, no, no. You have to do the action of act together. Unfortunately. Yeah. Well, Rahua. Hi, buddy. This guy punches you. Fuck. Okay. I knew that was going to happen. As you kind of like see Vina get up, see Shide. There's just this guttural sounding. Bellow voice from behind the grill. Sacrilege. And he punches you just directly in the chest. I do apologize. I have my free movement. I moved up to here. My bad. Oh, yeah. With haste. My bad. So that's going to hit you. Can you give me a fortitude save, please? I sure can. That's a 27. If I need to hero point that, then I'm going to. You know that a 30 failed, so. I'm going to hero point that roll. Hero point. Hero point. Hero. There we go. Yay. Hopefully that's better. Yeah, that's going to be a success. So you're just going to take damage. Okay. And on a success, you're only stunned one. Hooray. Owie. You've stunned one on a success. Oh, fuck. Very brutal. With all of that, just imagine what the critical failure is, everybody. It's your soul. He's a master of the action economy. Mm-hmm. And then. Oh. I tried that. Tried that. He'll. For a third action. We'll provoke from Ruhua and Vena. And jump onto the deck. Oh. All right. Um. Yeah, I'll, I'll hit him with my reactive strike. Take your slashes. Got him. That'll hit. Regular damage. Regular damage. No finisher. Die bastard. That's okay. 17 damage. I'll take 17. Go. You slash him in his back as he just like walks off and jumps onto the deck. Sacrilege. Uh, that's for Kallion's go, Ruhua. I, oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm not hungry. Thank you. I don't like this guy. I'm scared. I'm real skirt too. I'm not gonna lie. Tell you what. I have a, a real feeling that just about anything I can throw at this man's is gonna put us in a lot of danger. So I'm gonna just use the remaining actions on my turn to pop benediction. This might protect you a little bit more. So because of that, anybody within 15 feet are going to be, get plus one to their AC. Put the spell effect on you. I'm gonna put the spell effect on me. Yes, put the effect on you. I put the effect on you. There's too much baby talk in this chat. Fine. I'm not doing anything for you anymore, Tannhauser. No! We're not, I don't want to play with you anymore I drop you off the side of the ship. I fucking fall to my death. Consumed by a thousand other Tannhausers who came before you. JK, I prepped gentle landing. I gently land as I'm consumed by the thousand other Tannhausers that came before me. All right. That's, that's my go. You ate my action. Cool. Yeah, prison turn then. What if I don't wanna? You want to hold on to your soul a little bit longer? Baldrick, you're up. They can't beat me if I don't skip my turn. It's true. I can't get my ass beating my turn. I can live here in the, I can live here with the perfect stasis of safety. Okay, so it's my turn. I love that chat wants to do a poll of how many phases this boss has. Thanks, chat. Thanks for being on my side. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go up 25 for an action there. That's about right. There's sort of. Yeah, you're good. So it'll be, okay, good. And then I'm going to move onto the deck to here. I don't have sight of him, do I? Um, actually, no, you would. You would, just from the corner of your square. I'll give it to you. Yeah. Okay, fine by me. I target him and I'm going to open up with a simple junk bomb attack. with my, with my wicked junk bomb attack. Turn him into junk. Gonna hit him with the junk bomb. Attack, strike 19. It is going to be slightly out of range and I'm okay with that. So I'll just take the minus two. Yeah. Um. Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make it a sticky bomb anyway because getting dots on him is I think the big thing. Very, very, very smart. Yes. Go junk bomb. Natural 20. Woo! Let's go! See, here's the good thing about the junk bomb which is fascinating. Of the bombs I have, it is the one that does some of the most damage directly by doing 2d8 slashing. Nice. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Ba-bombs. Hey, Vorkallion! Catch! A very fragmented, spiky-looking bomb hurls over the edge of the thing and collides directly with him, doing 34 direct damage as well as a lot of damage over time from the looks of it. That's what? That's 2 times 10? Yep. And then 2 to so... Yeah, 2 times 10. 2 times 2, yep. 24 damage over time. Woo! Sure. Yep. I'll take that. That's not bad at all. Tannhauser. All right. Tannhauser time. He's doing a Tannhauser all over the place. I have a niche opportunity here to potentially end this fight without having to see any of the other phases. We'll see if Thurston hasn't thought of that. I'm going to tell you, you know, probably trying to microwave every boss is not going to work. I agree. I agree. I don't think that's going to quite work out. So I think all the laborious setup that that maneuver would cost me, I'm going to instead use doing useful things. So here's my start. I am going to cast Oozefor. Oozefor. Okay. As you cast that, he attacks you. Very good. Let's see if that conceal works out. I really like it. He says, I hate goop. I love this new paradigm that Tannhauser has, which is, I'm a revolutionary turns into slime. I will just hit the concealed, which is good. I won't stop. I won't stop your effect. I won't create you, but I will do damage to you. That's allowed. Ow. I'll do 41 points. Oh, wait. No, does that kick? Oh, wait, no, wait, wait. No, my bad. I hit the wrong, hit the wrong attack there for damage. One sec. It's this one. Okay. I was about to say, doing 41 on a react is pretty wacky. There we go. All right. All right. It'll happen now, not after you're slime. Yeah. Now you get it. And now I will become Oozehouser. Oozehouser. A swarm of nanomachines begins coursing through me. And I'm going to go ahead and use my final action to do a pseudopod strike. I can't believe Tannhauser is replicating Akira. That's, it's true. It's really more like Terminator 2, I want to think. All right. All right. Not to crit, but I do hit. Let's see how much damage. Not the best damage, but 25. We'll take it. Pretty good. And that's the end of Tannhauser. This is turn. Okay. He didn't die. Not yet. For now. I want to point something out that I think is kind of funny about all this. You respect to be hard wizard, and yet you are still doing things that require you to be in melee and continue to do melee attacks like you're some kind of magus. Well, it's more that all of the spells I had prepped for this fight were assuming we would have to deal with a lot of guys, and so doing ooze for him is kind of my most effective way of fighting him right now. I do understand that, but it is fun. But it is fun. The two big combats. You've become a slime magus. The slime magus. Slime is important to the revolution. He swapped time for slime. I am a time slimer. Time slime. Anyway, Vena time. So, Thurston, if I were to take a running leap, could I possibly make that a part of my tumble through action? Absolutely. Plunging attack. Ah, yay! Plunging attack. The plunger. That's what they call me? No, you can do better than that. I have a... Remember that gif I showed you? Like, I can... If you drag that macro down, it does all that for you if you just target him and click it. Why does it say I'm only trained in acrobatics? It's... Oh, I have to be 20 feet up to do the from above. So, I can't quite do that. That's fair. Um... Time to fly. Why it... You could... Would it be possible to take a jump up, like, leap into the air and then down? Uh... I do have a high jump. It's just two actions. Yeah, it's still not quite high enough to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Alas. Alas. Um... I mean, I could try getting away from him a bit while I heal, but... Uh... That's not how Vina rolls, baby. Acrobatics. Why is it only giving me a plus 16? I should be at a plus 22. Do I have a status effect on me or something? Uh... I should have a plus 22. Yeah, I should have a plus 22. That's weird. You have someone else selected? Uh... Make sure you're the only one selected. Yeah. I've selected him because I target him with this acrobatics check. Okay, there we go. Weird. Man, just roll it anyway. Oh! That's not good. So, that would... So, you're gonna go to there. Nope. No, you're not gonna go through him. He's actually gonna catch you. He's gonna catch you mid-air Michael Jordan style. Yeah, you... Oh, no! It's telling you plus 16 because you're master plus 16, then your dex is plus 5 and your bracelet gives you plus 1. That's probably what it's saying. Oh, no. My other one, uh, uh, when I was trying to roll, it only said I was trained, not master, which is weird. I will critically miss, which would allow you to use your reaction to opportunistically riposte because you would have your reaction in your turn. That is true. Uh, uh, and I am gonna opportune riposte him. Wait. Uh, so I guess I just get a free attack. Did, uh, did you reactive strike, Vina? I did. You reactive strike Tannhauser already. Did you read the thing I posted in chat just about that? Second one. No. Yeah. He's gonna be mean about it. Jesus. Just double checking, man. Jeez. No, Thurston, scream at him. Increase the volume. Oh! All right. Yeah, I'm gonna hit him. Uh, and my free thing, is that for opportune riposte? I, I know that I get an extra action or an extra reaction for one thing in particular. Uh, reflexive riposte. Yes, yes, yes. Uh, at the start of your turns, when you regain your actions, you gain an additional reaction that can be only used to perform opportune riposte. So I, Thurston, I would like to ask, could I possibly, uh, flashy dodge a, uh, No, you can't do two reactions to the same thing. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Understandable. So I'm gonna hit him instead. I feel like damage is more important here. Who do you think you are, Martin? Well, I whiff it! Critical miss. All right, we're back. We are so bad. Excellent. We're so bad. That was a, that was a turn of failures. We're doing really good, Vorkalion. We're doing so good. Uh, you wanna pass this to Oren so he can maybe save you? I have two more actions. Just give him up. Who cares? I just give up. Call him a day. Hey, the edge of the ship is within reach. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna ask for a pity point for this one. I'm saving the pity point for when I get my soul punched out again. Uh, second action, I'm gonna try to tumble through again. Sure. Much better. That'll do it. That'll do it. And I'm gonna go here so I'm flanking with Oozhauser. Hey, welcome to Oozhauser. Uh, and then final action, I'm gonna hit him with my sword. Ah! Yeah! Damn! That's a critical. There we go. There it is. Okay, okay. Let's see that phase two, big boy. 62 points of damage. That's a little bit of damage. That's just a little bit of damage. See, I was saving it. I whiffed that first one because I'm building my power. You were, you were building a story. Sports entertainment. So true. Um, I'm gonna end my turn. Don't let him kill me. This is some very strong words from someone in harvesting range. Okay. Um, I'm gonna use my free movement here to get right up to here. Um, well, so just see. Yeah, free movement with hasted to basically get the free move up to that way. Uh, I am then going to cast, uh, extend boost. Uh, to basically, uh, extend a boost on Gorogamangar. I'm gonna go ahead and do my roll thing real quick to do reinforce Idoin. I have the macro working now. Uh, remember that even though I have a dragon, uh, I have it all switched out, whatever I see that I have failed. I would like to, why'd you change it? Gosh, dang it. Now, I'm not gonna resize it. Because it's phase two. It's not. What? I gotta resize it. Yeah. You hit him into phase two. Please switch it back to the other one because that thing's way too big. It's covering way too much. Um, ah, so basically, I'm going to re-roll that so I can save some of my action stuff. May I just fight? Yay! Uh, 35. I don't think that's gonna apply correctly. Hold up. doing a certain way so the macro works out. There we go. That'll work out. I'll just minus the thing to it. So, basically, Gorgamonger now has multiple turns which he has reinforced which means he gets resistance to a bunch of damage all the other fun stuff. Uh, that'll be one action. The next action I'm going to do is that I'm going to cast Lay on Hands on Veena. Uh, basically, give her a little tap. And, basically, this will do a couple things. One, you now have a buff on you that gives you plus two to your AC and I will also be healing you for 30. Yay! So, go ahead and click that apply healing there, Veena. That'll go ahead and get you nice and healed up for 30. Yay! Uh, that'll be for one action to do that, one action to do that. I am going to save. The other action is for Gorgamonger so Gorgamonger can step up and he is going to look at this thing and try to give, try to chomp on this thing. So, he's going to come up and try to bite it. He misses terribly, unfortunately. You have a hear point. No, I use that for the thing. I forgot to toggle it down because I have a billion screens in front of me and after that, that's all that I can do, that's all that Gorgamonger can do and that's the end of my turn. I have so many cool options. Uh-oh. Let's see here. Let's see. Think harder. Dink. I am. Dink. Oh, gosh. I think I have one option here and it's real mean, but I have to do it. Uh-oh. That means he's going to give me a big hug and tell me I'm doing a good job. He's going to once again, Vina, try to punch your soul out of your body if that helps. My soul, I need that. Oh. Cool. You want to give me a fortitude save there? I would love to. Do you have your reaction at all, Vina, to nimble dodge? I do have my nimble dodge. Is that all? That'll save you. Well, because you technically have to declare nimble dodge beforehand, don't you? Yeah, but you can, like, it's fine if you use it after because I say I'm attacking and, you know, it's always hard to get the timing on that. If you want to dodge it, that's fine. I think our general house rule is we can just declare it what we do because we have all this automation. Okay, then I will flashy dodge. I will use my reaction and that will give me a little piniash. One sec. Yeah, see if we unhand doesn't stack with any one. Okay, perfect. Yeah, no, no, it doesn't. So they stack, so you're good. Okay. So that'll dodge it. Well, fine. I guess I won't get to do the fun version of this, but I'll do the other one. Can I get Gorgamonger? Oh, actually, what's the way I can? One sec. I have to drop a cone on you now. Oh. Norkallion pulls out a gigantic ice cream cone and he scoops you up with it. Please. No. He is trying to eat our souls. You're trying to learn how they call Gorgallion. Yeah, he actually is going to try to suck in all of your souls. That placement square, it should be on his tile. You just put that in the middle of Vena. It should go through his square. There's like nowhere in his square. Yeah. That's like casting it in the middle of someone else's thing. Well, okay. Does it emanate from him? It comes from him, so he places it on a square and where he wants it to go, it goes. It's not like it comes out the middle of him, right? Like, any kind of effect, you place it. Yeah, if it's emanating from his square, if he... It's not emanating his square right now. It's a cone he's placing. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Does he... Does the cone have a range? It's a 30-foot cone. That's what I'm doing. Yeah, you can't put a cone like that, though. Like, you put it to the corner of his square or the middle of his square, like, that's still to the side of Vita. That's nowhere... Yeah, there you go. Now you're good. Now you're legal. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I will get you both to give me a... Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it'd actually be three of you, but pick the worst. Give me a save, please. Which one? Fortitude? Oh, sorry. Yeah, did I not just... No, not Fortitude. Got to drop it in chat. Yes. No. Yeah, actually, this is Fortitude. My bad. Give me Fortitude saves, please. All right. Oh, oh, my God. Oh, terribly. All right. That's for Gorgamonger. I have to roll for Ornn as well. I have to take the worst. That is the worst. That's a 23, so I just have a normal failure. I wouldn't convince you Thurston to allow perhaps a 20 points to re-roll on the natural one because I fear that I'm going to be inflicted with death. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, I will take a complication in a moment. If I can... There we go. I have to click on this thing and then... That's not much better! Well, at least it's a 30. Well, it says DC 34 toot save, so you're good. Okay, meets it, meets it, beats it. Okay, okay. Yeah, I'm just the one who's going to have to suffer because the awful thing about summoners is that you just basically roll for disadvantage, really. Okay, so I have to take a complication. I'm going to take one from Demos Mirok. Oh, weird. Sorry. Oh. It threw a bunch of dice for some reason. I think I was clicking in the wrong area. There we go. This was called Wardrobe Malfunction. Oh, no. Your clothing is evidently not suited to what you're attempting. Maybe you entangle yourself in your robes, your hat slides down over your eyes, or you just... Oh, I didn't read the rest of this one. You just straight up rip off your clothes trying to achieve that athletic maneuver. I'm not about to Zedic myself on a fortitude save. You can modify it to make it appropriate. Also, be sure to say the name of who made this game. I did. I did. Oh, sorry. My bad. Okay, my bad. I'm crunching a lot. So, I would say with a fortitude save, I don't know what check I would have to make, but I would say that I definitely have a big stupid hat that can fall in the way of things. Hat issue, hat issue. Hat issue. Hat issue. I'm gonna eat your hat. Oh, my God. It's my hat! you're gonna take half of this damage. All right. Venus wig falls off. Oh, we'll take all of that. Oh, wait, no, why did I? No, no, no, no. Give me more damage. Why it does that? There we go. I'll do and that damage on Orin. Wait, why? Okay, wow, this is being crushed flat by the weight of her own hat. Click Orin and then I am. I have both targeted and clicked Orin and every time I do it, it's applying it to Vina. So, you're doing the damage thing wrong. Basically, you see where it just says Vina. Oh, because it only has Vina there. Click the plus, click the plus above Vina, they'll give you your damage buttons. Okay, there we go. Nice. That's weird. Auto thing, damn. There we go. Cool. And he'll regain some health from that. As he sucks in your life force and consumes it, some of your Atma going into his furnace-like grill. Soul. And then he'll take about an equal amount of damage and persistence. Yeah, fuck you. We got budget on our side. Yay. Suck on that, idiot. And he fails to take care of the DLG. Ha, loser. Rua, you're up. Atrua's going to try and interpose in combat and he knows I'm there. He's going to still hit me because I got to get in. Atrua's going to target him and I'm going to hit him with whatever. I like how the interactive flavor text over tokens now tells me what health you're at and I like you're at seen better days, Fina. Yeah, you definitely have. Seen better days. I've seen worse though. I've seen worse. That's true! You'll see worse still. That being said, I'm going to hit him with a restorative strike. Try and punch some healing into you. He just starts healing the boss. Hit for 32. Here we go. Oh, man, that's some peddly fucking damage. 19! Vina, you're going to be getting healing. and you're going to recover. You hope. You hope. Actually, my target Verkalion. Verkalion's going to heal up instead. Good. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Rolling. You get 69 points of healing. Nice! Nice! Nice! Nice! Apply healing. Nice. And you're now within my benediction aura, so you get plus one your AC. Yay! Actually, everybody does, except for Baldrick, which he doesn't need. I'm too far away. That's for the best. You should stay out of this area. My job is to apply an obscene amount of dots onto targets and be unable to be struck. You are doing funny twitch gameplay. Funny twitch gameplay. I'm roleplaying as an artillery piece. Oh, it's Cogwyn's down. My mistake. I'm ending my turn. I'm still invisible. Baldrick is up. Baldrick? Baldrick? I declare Baldrick dead. I don't know if you muted yourself an accident. Yeah, that'd be why. I somehow hit, on the top of my mic, there's a button that deactivates my mic, and I just moved my arm a little bit, and I apparently put my finger on that. Oh, well. So what I was saying was I'm going to move up so I'm not taking the long distance penalty anymore, so I'm going to move up to, not into the cone, that's a stupid idea, and that should put me, yeah, 30, that's in range, I will target him, and then, and then, and then what I will do is I will throw a versatile vial filled with electricity. Electricity? Electricity? Huh! I throw it. I get an 11 on the die, that's a hit. He is off guard, that's okay, I'll do the damage, because what I'm mainly doing is just continuing to stack piles upon piles of damage over time. He burps. Next thing I will do is I will swap my next one to a fire vial, and I will take a map minus 5 to attack him. Ha! Ha! 17 hits with another that hits as well. I roll damage on that one. I don't know what happened to the dice there on my screen, they just kind of pumped into each other. 20 direct damage, and then 10 over time. And with that he is now going to be taking approximately 44 points of damage per turn unless he can shrug it off, and that is the end of my turn. Baldrick sees the martinet, and he is furious about anyone who would dare call themselves a martinet at this point. He wants to kill them all, and he's going to make sure there's one less. Let's go, Baldrick, let's go. Now you guys just not going to get hit by vacuum soul sucker or whatever he's going to do. We're trying. Well? Tannhauser will continue shoring up the flank as three different pseudopods form from this gray ooze into deadly striking scything knives. I'm going to make some pseudopod attacks. I'm going to make number one against the martinet. I'm going to miss. I'm going to hero point that because this is my best scorn. Yeah. All right. We're going to take number two. Fuck. Now we're going to take number three. Number three. Not quiet. I think I took damage from that one. That's a lot of ineffective pseudopod flailing. Thanks for coming. Thanks for coming tonight. Yeah. You're welcome. Go get him. He's just gooping around. Enter. He did gooping, bro. He just knew it was gooping. He knew it was gooping. That was good. That was good. Thank you. Thank you. If you want to be gooping right now. Wait for that for that reroll I got. That first hero point reroll. I didn't use it the right way. I should have gotten plus. Oh, who cares? It's fine. You rolled the 10. So it does. It's only if you will. Yeah. Oh, well. Anyway, first action. I'm going to hit Martinet Vorkalion with my sword. Okay. All right. All right. We're making we're using them up. I was distracting him. your famine. Yeah. I'm going to enter famine. Odo, I think we're feasting a little bit too much. I think so. That's a lot of maxes right there. He's not going to give me that next pity point when I fail the next save. I'll tell you that. He's going to say no. He's going to say uh-uh. No. You don't get pity just yet. He will react to this. Huh? He will enter phase three. Uh-oh. Phase three? Uh-oh. He just gets a little bigger. Oh. Oh. Oh, crap. Oh. For the podcast people, what happened for phase three? He gets reaction where every living creature within 150 feet has to make a DC 30 will save. If you crit succeed, you're unaffected. If you succeed, you're stunned one. If you fail, you are shot. Your soul is discorporated from your body and you're unconscious. And on a critical fail, it's the same thing except you're dying in zero hit points. Okay. All righty. I'm going to make the So I'll let everyone give me their saves in order. We'll save it. And because they DPS their way through phase two, there's another ability that is going to come up. We'll see how it goes. Oh my God. Sorry for party rocking. Before everyone rolls here, let's just do a bit of time to make it easier. So within 150, it's everybody, right? That is everybody. Yeah. So we should go in order of initiative, start with Veena and then go down. Yeah. So Veena, you first. Me first. Just so we don't clutter everything. I fail. That's a fail. Well, I don't think I get a pity point anymore, Zoran. You can take a pity point. I've got two of them. I'll give you one. Yeah, chat pay for them. All you have to do is take on a complication on top of the suffering. Another one. You know what? You know what? I'm not going to reroll. I'm going to save pity points for my friends. Put my soul out of my body. This couldn't go wrong. It's just Veena who's suicidal. So you go unconscious Veena. Then make a copy of your token. Oh, yeah, I don't have to that anymore. And by the way, this me copying the token is kind of what messed things up earlier. That's why you were having these issues. I was trying to put them all on and be all prepared, but then with all the mods and stuff, it kind of messes things up. I see. You're going to go there. Okay. We're not done. Oh, because you didn't you didn't see the phase two thing. Oh, so whenever he discorporates someone, he creates a copy of himself. this copy is only in the shadow realm and can interact with your soul. And unlike your soul, this one is not prevented from attacking. Oh, my God, you're getting League of Legends. Getting League of Legends. Oh, my God, you're up. I get the roll of disadvantage. You be all right. I guess my turn's over. Okay. Oh, yeah, we have to all we have to all roll the scream. Well, yeah, we still get turns and everything that's just skipping her entire turn. That will that will end her turn because she goes unconscious, which would end the turn and then her spirit would get it on the next thing. I wouldn't don't cut. Okay. Don't even worry about it. Yeah. I'll do we'll save for Oren. That's a 33 and got to get it for success. Yeah, where my has a worse one. Oh, crap. Oh, yeah. May I have a pity point? Did you mark down for the Vena one, by the way? Oh, I didn't take one because because there were two. That's right. Yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right. Okay. So, yeah, mark down for yours if you want to take one or and use it. I got a billion screens. Gotta give me a minute. He's got a flick between them. Maybe we roll for Grugamunger. 31. That will at least just be a success. That'll just stun you. Yeah, so let me go through our awesome things. First, let me count our thing down. Ta-da-da-da! And for our amazing complications, everyone can submit their complications at patreon.com first slash narrative declaration where you too can mess us up. We're going to see which one's appropriate for this situation. I'm not sure this would be appropriate. Let's find out. This is from BEP called This is bad. Through mishandling and overextending yourself in a social situation or combat, something incredibly noticeable and possibly dangerous has occurred. Can you turn on a grateful exit onto the crowded dance floor to just the distraction needed? Or is everyone getting kicked out from the disturbance? Or if you knock an enemy off a second story to its chain or stent you, what's under it when it falls? Basically, something uh-oh happens with this situation. I will leave that to you, Thurston. I'll allow you to have that power. It would basically be like that. Like, something in the environment happens to where we're like, uh-oh. Um... Huh. That- Actually, I'll volunteer now. I was trying to think of something. I'll say- I know this is going to screw Veena up a little bit. Uh, I'll say- Just to make you leap, I'll say that through all this stuff, like, all the- like, the soul- shattering energy, it goes, it knocks off or takes out this bridge right by us. Oh, it's fine. I'm flying. Yeah. If that's okay with you. Yeah. Okay, so I am just stunned. That means I just have minus an action at that point. Um, I am going to... It's not your turn. We still have to go through the rest of the saves. That means it's up to Rahua. That's Rahua next. We're doing our thing and this I'm sorry. Yeah, because I'll tell you it'll be Veena's turn. My bad. Uh, go ahead. That's fine. We can let the Martinet also, like, take a save against himself to get soldier. We got to see how many Shadow Vorkalians show up because that's definitely not going to help me. Four I have rolled. I'm... Oh my god. That's a failure. Do you want the pity point? I want the pity point. Go ahead. All right, let me... Go for it, brother. Let me re-roll. See, this is why I didn't, so I could save it for healers. I'm a team player. We are out of pity points. You're supposed to add the plus ten thing, so next time, add a hero point to yourself and then re-roll use a hero point. That's how the thing works. I'm more flabbergasted just because it was... I hate when it happens, like, too high. So you are stunned and accomplished. Oh boy, let's take a look and see, what do I have that is appropriate for this one? Oh. Well, I'm not casting a spell, so I can't use that one, which would be incredibly funny and bad for everybody. So, I have a complication from Stadnatharsil called Whoops Butterfingers. You drop your weapon or tool on the ground. If there's a person next to you, it drops on their foot. It's gonna eat your pick. Is Tannhauser next to you? Well, the Martinet is definitely next to you. Yes, but it would be much funnier if it fell on your foot. But I don't have a foot. That's why it's funnier. It somehow manages to drop on the portion of the slime that at one point was your foot. And you're like, ah! Diem, this is clearly a felonious reading of the rules. This designates a foot. Tannhauser currently lacks a foot, ergo he is immune to the consequences. Technically, snails have feet. It's the one foot, it's the thing they used to move, so you know, shut up. Philosophically, what is a foot? And why do people like her? Let's discuss. We're not tackling that part of it. Erndel's always so interested in the other parties. We're done. I'm not blessed. Leave me alone. So, the nearest foot, and you're having a debate on if the pseudopod counts? Sure. Yes. You're the GM. You tell us whose foot it falls on. Well, it's a complication, so does it's meant to be bad for you, so it shouldn't fall on the Martinet's feet. Unless the Martinet picks it up and hits us with it. You know what? No, it does fall on the Martinet. You know what? Yeah, it falls on the Martinet's feet. I'm going to say that. Which annoys the Martinet enough that the Martinet gains the quick condition. There you go. Yeah! There you go. If it were up to me, I'd say, yeah, it falls on someone's foot. It magnetically attracts to the ghost across this ruined plank of wood all the way down here in the shape of Vina. Your pick's over there now. fling it. The Martinet is very agitated because of this pick falling on their foot. I would be too. That's what he's sensitive about. Yeah. Hit exact the right angle. This is what happens when you try to be like, I'm going to switch a complication into being good for us. This is what I do. Don't you try to take away from the fans and their complicating of your lives. Exactly. Baldrick, is Baldrick in range of this attack? Yeah, it's like 150 feet. Then Baldrick, I believe it's his next. I believe in you, Baldrick. All right. it's not my strongest roll I can make, but, you know, we'll give it a shot. Here we go. We'll save. Find 27, but I have two hero points, so I'm just going to hero point it and hopefully. Yeah, I'll be. I don't know. That's still not good enough. How odd. All right. It's a whatever. One sec. What is? Oh, because because on the second roll, you rolled above a 10, so it's only if it's below a 10, do you get the plus 10? Cringe. Cringe. All right. Whatever. It's only going to send you a couple squares back as you fall unconscious. Yeah, only problem is that means we got another shadow guy. Hey, welcome to the shadow realm. You do have another shadow guy. Oh. Oh. Remember, he does it every time he dissociates someone. Correct. Oh, yeah. But they can't interact with reality, only the shadows. And then Tanhauser, you're the last one. I am the last line of defense against League of Legends Illawi. I am going to use my Nanite Surge because I have protective subroutines. And I'm going to see, I'm going to use all my will. You should protect yourself now. So that's a five on the dice. I don't like it. I'm going to reroll my last error points. I'm going to do it properly. Ha ha. 36. I don't know if that's good enough. That's success. So you're going to be still will succeed. Stunned Udo. I'll be stunned ooze. Stunned ooze. And after all of that, it is Orin's go. I have to risk it for a lot of biscuits right now because yeah, it's going to get real bad real soon everybody. So let's see if this goes through or I get my ass clapped. I cast Thunderstrike on him. All right, because there's only two actions I can then take. He could succeed, I see because apparently he has an amazing reflex. Apparently he's fast as fuck. Yep. So he'll take no damage out of that. That's just wasteful at that point. And then Gorgomager can only have one action at that point and he will try to bite him. Let me see this stuff here. Let's do that, do that. tend to do the math. Yeah, that's all he can really do. Okay. So at that point, you'll just try to bite. What's this UI thing goes away? He bites. Yes. Dealing 16 points of damage. Nice. Nice. So I think there's anything else I could do at this juncture. Unfortunately not. End of my turn. Excellent. The Martinet's going to go. He doesn't have to. He does. His first shadow thing is going to come over to you, Vina. And is going to actually, sorry, should actually come up to there. Is going to bite you. Oh, this is shadow figment number one floats over to your soul. Ow. Crits your soul. My soul. Fuck. Oh, God. Oh, fuck. It crits your soul for 90 points of damage. I would also make that noise. It is a really good thing you got healed because that would have killed you. Okay. Okay. Okay. the other one is going to use its skeletal claws on the soul of Baldrick and it's going to make you give me a reflex save the soul of Baldrick. All right. The soul of Baldrick makes a reflex save. Yes, please. Why am I getting a minus to being unconscious? That's so fucking funny. It's because one of your tokens has that. Can I uncheck that one? Yeah, I got you because it's not my it's not my body making the reflex. There you go. There you go. Not 20. 39. Very nice. Then move over on top of your body to block. That will be the figments. The main one will go. Dear. Oh, deary me. This is where this is where I could just consume Venus soul. To do that. But Gorgamonger hit it. So and is up. So I'm gonna have it try to like consume Gorgamonger. Gorgamonger Let's do this. Okay, that's gonna hit. Oh, not bad. Not bad. Gorgamonger will take 36. Let's take that. And then for its next action, it's going to attack with its claws on Gorgamonger. You're hitting Gorgamonger. You can join Gorgamonger. It's gonna do 23 points of damage. How did it hit and then missed? Why did it? Okay, it's making sounds like it's hitting for me, which is very weird. Like, some of the sounds are weird. You have attack sounds. Yeah, no, no, no, yeah, for sure, for sure. It's just, yeah, there are some that have sounded like an hit, yeah, yeah, but I'll miss then, so never mind. And then for its last one, it's just good to bite. Good bite. Thank you. Gorgamonger! Critical fucking Gorgamonger. Oh, no! Call that Gorgamonger. Did 98 points of damage to very well. Oh, my God! So, before anything, reduce that, bring that back. Okay. Summoner's precaution activates at that point, basically because of server conduit. I used my reaction for that. Your Eidolon takes damage that we're bringing to zero hit points and comes from other than effects of death, just to kind of bring this to the chat so you can also read it. You quickly shut off the buffer in your link with your Eidolon causing your bonded ally to wink out of existence before you can be laid low. Your Eidolon unmanifests and you can't manifest your Eidolon for one minute. In exchange, you don't take the triggering damage, though your Eidolon still suffers any adverse effects. None of that happens and Gorgrimunger disappears. And it's funny because none of this matters because now he just dies. Dots! Oh, not quite. Not quite! One sec. I don't know if it actually applied that all correctly. One sec. So 20 and 4 would be 44. One sec. It only took 10. It only took 10. Yeah, take 20 up there. Yeah. 20, 24, 34, 44. Yes. Okay. He is barely alive somehow. Okay. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. And there could be a phase 4, guys. Phase 4 is he explodes and sends us all to hell. True. Honestly, it would not surprise me at this point. I'm I'm just going to have to hit him. You got to do something. He's got so many defenses. I don't think casting a spell to exhaust my last two actions, since I'm stunned and only have two anyway, would necessarily help. whatever damage you got. You got to try, man. You got to try. I got to try. I got to do something. You got to do what you got to do. Adventuring you need to get your weapon because you dropped it on a foot. Oh, fuck. You're God damn it. Oh, no. Action. You're fine. You can pick it up and then attack. I'll pick up my weapon. I'll pick up my weapon, Thurston. Can I pick up my weapon, please? I mean, we have an entire round of us for him to go through, so you need to spend two of your actions to do a spell that you're confident on that he has to deal with or believe that melee is your highest chance of doing enough damage or two actions to heal your friends. I don't have two actions to spend. You are stunned, so you just, yeah, you have two actions. You only have two. Yeah. Yeah, those are your options so far. That's true, that's true, that's true. Let me check out the new turn order. I believe. Because you're at the top of the order. The big bad already went. All of us will go after you, so you can either help everybody or just deal some damage. I'm not going to be able to do anything like next round basically because it's going to take me two rounds to get to my body and it'll take me two actions to get in. So that's not going to happen. And Vita's also going to be indisposed, so it's me and Tenhauser at this point. Damage might be your key here. That's what I'm thinking just because I want to make sure that we don't get exploded in the waiting to get back to the bodies phase. You should be able to do the amount of health he has left, and if not, then Tenhauser goes and does his thing because that should be more than enough. Just go ahead and add damage. I think we'll be okay. And if not, I've got a thunderstrike ready. Hell yeah. I'm going to strike him. Big ol' hit for 18 on the die, for 37 for the hit. Go ahead. I'm going to hit him with a damage. Let's see what happens. portal of 14 damage. Damage is damage. Damage is damage. Damage is damage. You got one that's it, I think, actually, though, isn't it? Yeah, that would be it. Alrighty. Who's Hauser? It's actually me. Soul Balcher. It is you. Chicken Jackie. Kill. Okay. Awesome. Right. End your turn, please, gamer. Oh, Oozhauser's gone again. You got a race for Chicken Jackie. I think I was erased from the universe. You were. Fuck you. Goodbye. Baldrick's soul will look at the imposing form of Vorkallion that failed to grab him, and with his disdain for the Martinets as a whole, he is going to slowly walk around him in the spirit realm while keeping his middle fingers raised. Yeah. I know he's going to hit me, but, like, my option is take a giant-ass turn around him. There's literally only one way with which it can, like, stop you, and it would need to crit you with this claw. It does not crit you with the claw. So it'll do damage to you, so I'll just relax. But it won't stop you, so you can get back to your body. Yeah, but Baldrick is just, like, continuing to keep his middle fingers raised at him as he steps over onto his body. And he's going to end his turn there because he can't get back in yet. Hey, fellas. You think this Martinet says soul, Jackie? Can somebody kick him from the chest? Yeah, I ban someone forever. Get him out of here. Get him out of here. Get him the hell out of here. Warren Vorky. It's okay, Speaker. I want to come die with you. I'm not leaving you alone. Thank you. Thank you, brother. You can have some lava chicken with me. Thank you. Thurston, Thurston, can you put Slimehouser back in so he can finish this fight? No. Sir, making references to Chicken Jockey. Slimehouser, you mind telling me what you're doing on this initiative tracker? Get three hero points. Let's go. Thurston, can I actually make a narrative declaration? What's your narrative declaration? For who his pick has been through a lot of battles, but he's never cleaned it once in the three years we've been doing this. That's disgusting, dude. I would like to narratively declare that even if Martinet didn't take immediate damage, he might have a mild case of tetanus. Mild case of tetanus? Roll 1d20 for the disease. Do we have a disease table? Do we have a disease table? Yeah, it'll set in 24 to 48 hours from this particular combat encounter, which is going to be really devastating. I could succeed to Martinet's fortitude save against your tetanus. Yeah, but what if it was Ebola? Mark him down two hero points, that's two narrative declarations. That's two? I'm waiting to bring you back. What's the third one? If you want to narratively declare a third disease, I make an obscene fortitude save roll on, please. It's Tenhauser's turn now, Tenhauser's turn. Tenhauser, end this fight, please. I'm going to make this Martinet suffer from sudden infant death syndrome. You can't talk. Yeah, that's what Tenhauser would say if he were not a giant war nanomachines. Let's rock. That's a hit. Please. That's a hit, baby. Let's see the damage. 29. 29. Not bad. He's done. Tenhauser, Tenhauser's pseudopods wrap and thrust forward into the grill of this creature, and it is going to, Tenhauser is going to utilize this, this nanomachine to create a razor edge blade to cut through every rung of its mask and along its mouth, decapitating it from the throat or from the mouth itself. Nasty. It collapses in a heap, and as it does, there's like a black, like, miasma, not, not the rot, but like a cloud of unholy energy that seeps out into the air before dissipating. Um, all that's left is, of it is, is sort of charred dust in a single iron gauntleted fist. Oh. Oh, wait, I can't say anything. My soul is out of my body. No, no, your, your thing is running. Oh, I'm back. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, man. Oh, man. Before I detrainform. Oh. You said it, Mr. Tannhauser. Yeah. That was a very weird feeling. Ugh. I'm working class. Yeah, man. Arnival. Really got to fight the blob-washy. Arnival, make sure the the martinet is definitely expired by poking him with his stick. There is, there's dust in the gauntlet. That is all that remains now. Do I get to take his soul? Take the gauntlet. There's a gauntlet. We'll find out what that does later. Yeah, he picks up, he stashes the gauntlet and, uh. Remember to identify. I'll, uh, I'll take my ooze form off, which might be the trigger that Thurston's looking for, but regardless, Tannhauser will resume his normal form. All right, sound off. My. Ugh. Baldrick cracks his neck as he looks around. That could have gone worse, but we've had worse outcomes. Yeah. I agree. I'm, uh, one for one with Martinets. From his feet, look. I know how it ended last time, but, you know, we all worked together and, and we all made it, everyone. Yeah. We all worked together and we rode to the feet and now, first off, let me make sure everyone here's okay and I'll start spending some 10 minutes here. Just, uh, I don't know if you just want to skip this bit real quick as he, as I patch everybody up or do you want me to roll a bunch? Well, the question is, is are you kind of waiting here, patching everyone up or are you trying to get out of here first and then patching up? What's the, we should probably get the fuck out of here. Yeah, I was going to say, Baldrick is looking to get down below to look inside. Then as, then as we go, Ornn's going to throw a quick hill on Vina and he'll be like, like, let's get down below quick before any more show up. We need to unmoor first. Mm-hmm. I'm going to very quickly just get these planks and I'm going to untie them. I presumably, these are our loading planks. I'll make sure they're stuck on back. He flies to the other side, gets the ropes off and then flies back and, uh, gets everything prepped. Get the sails up. You manage to, to unmoor things, but there is still the problem of starting the vessel. Yeah, with that, Baldrick might flag down Vina to go below deck so we can look and see what's actually down here. Yeah. Ornn's moving about or even before, Rahua can just 30 foot heal or up everybody. There was a rare time that I can use a three action heal. Hooray. Um, yeah, with that, Ornn will agree with the assistant going like, let's all head down and make sure there's no one else hiding inside the ship and, you know, anybody that we don't want around and then also just see what we can do to fire this baby up. Right. Um, they mentioned that the martinet had the key. A guy's glove. Is that the key? Oh. There's a key conveniently inside of it. I found the key. Oh. It was conveniently inside of it. Wow, that's very convenient. Yeah. How convenient. How convenient. Come on. Give me the key. All right. And Tanny, you're better with machines than I am. So I think if we put our heads together, we can figure it out. Almost certain that you'll leave, Captain. Oh, yeah, sure. Don't ask the guy with an engineering degree. Whatever. Who cares? Have you ever flown a ship before, Baldrick? No, but I've worked with a lot of machines in the past and I have an engineering degree along with chemistry and a whole bunch of other collegiate studies. But no, let's ask the revolutionary. He's always making doodads. Let's work on it together as Orin pushes everyone downstairs. I fall down the stairs and broke my mouth. I knew someone was going to make something. We all fall down and die. Orin kills the party. We explode. Quick point of order before we all huddle downstairs. Can I loot the body? We already did. We already did. Just the key? Oh, perfect. Can I push the body off the side of the ship? It's dust. Oh, it's dust? You weren't paying attention. He's dusty. Sorry, I dusted my eyes. Could we actually take a quick break if this had too much of an issue real quick? I need to get something to drink bad. Sure, we're pretty close to the end for today, though. So just see. Oh, are we? Yeah. Whoa. Yeah, we're not far out. Okay. Yeah, you crit the boss to death. I know. I'm sorry. Don't apologize. We all critted like crazy today. It was kind of silly. I'll hold out in that case then. All right. So we head downstairs. Um, the non-detailed interior of the ship, which will come in future updates, um, leads you down towards a third level, which must be where the power source and the engine are located. There is a finely wrought door, uh, with brass filigree around it and a, um, a central key lock mechanism that's also sort of a brass indentation where it looks like the key that you took off of Varkallion will be able to fit into this apparatus. All right. Let's do it to it. Okay. I will, uh, I will put the key into the, uh, appropriate slot, and I'm going to see what exactly might be required to get this thing activated. Okay, as you place the key in, there's a clockwork sort of mechanical sound as various devices and whatnot activate to pull the door apart. The door comes apart actually in four segments retracting into the corners, um, the wood paneling revealing metal underneath, and the sort of circular area that folds in on itself and goes up with the two uppermost panels. As this occurs and this entire apparatus pulls back, there is a large room beyond, uh, that it seems to contain what appears to be a minor alchemical lab, a section filled with, uh, a variety of documentation and notes, like a research area, um, and then in the back are the, it is what must be the power source. It is a glowing apparatus, um, that stretches the, the, like, the entire back aft of the ship, and you realize that as you've come into this area, this is the, the entire back aft of the ship, um, and you see the roots of the tree that you saw outside that kind of come together entwining around the power source. Um, but that's not the only thing they entwine around. Um, instead, uh, they entwine around something that is clearly placed in front of the, uh, the power source that's almost meshed into the power source, uh, perhaps part of it. Um, there is a humanoid figure here, um, that is built into the tree roots and the apparatus. Um, what's visible is a black bob cut, um, a clear, distinct beauty mark on the left side of their cheek, um, a high-class feeling person were it not for the fact that they were now melded into this power source and this tree. Um, their eyes vacant white orbs, not seeing what's happening in this room, perhaps looking beyond to somewhere else. Tannhauser freezes in place. that can't be what. He begins trembling with an unfathomable mix of conflicting emotions. That's not right. What did they do to you? Huh? Tannhauser is immediately going to rush up to this figure and try to understand it, like, like, poking at it, like, like, trying to see if it can wrench it free before very quickly Orin, see to this immediately. Orin will rush up and do a nature check to be like, okay, is there any way I can, you know, free this person from this tree? Let me check. Absolutely. That's level of die for a total of 31. It's less that this person is, like, ensnared by the tree, is that they have basically become part of the tree and the root system. the roots coil around them and then go into their skin, small enough in some areas where they could even be, like, replacing internals. The tree has grown into this person as much as this person has started to grow into the tree. Mr. Tannhauser, Orin will kind of, as he's being frantic, he'll kind of, like, grab one of his arms. Mr. Tannhauser, watch! She's, she's, part of it now. We can't, we're not going to be able to remove her from this. Remover from it would be just, like, removing someone, someone's bones from their own body. I don't understand. Why? Why you? Why here? Do what you can. Is, I'm, I'm going to take a look into the, the white eyes of this entity. Hmm. One of you with medical knowledge. I need you to tell me if this person is living, dead. I roll medicine. Or, and as you examine it, and with your nature knowledge and your medical knowledge, um, you have enough to tell that this person is quite alive, um, but based off where the roots are going, what they're connected to, how they're set up, um, they're being used, um, as, as some kind of, like, connection to the brain, like, the, the tiniest of roots are going into the back of the head along the skull, um, they are effectively going into the brain and connecting to the brain and allowing, you know, the ability for the brain to process information to be used as part of the ship. Oren will slowly but surely, like, reveal this information as he points to the various parts of the tree and, and say, Mr. Tannhauser, whoever this person is, they, they're alive, but as you see here, he'll point to all the vines and stuff as they say, like, they're one with the ship. Everything's connected to this person, but they're alive, and this thing's even keeping it alive. The blue skies. The blue skies. What are you saying? Are you, my lady, are you conscious? The blue skies. Sail. Do you, do you know who this is, Mr. Tannhauser? Coming. I know exactly who this is. She's trying to tell us that we need to get the hell out of here. Yes. Yes, I suppose so. This is Lady Zale, the only reason why I'm anything worth remarking upon. My mentor, my teacher, and, and they took her. They placed her into this thing. Orin will, from the role's Orin god, can he discern of like, can I ask a command of hers, or any prerequisites I have to do to be like, engine, on. That's more of like an Arcana style check, like that, that gets into the magical element of this. This is a fusion of a lot of different traditions here. Orin will then. The operation of this is definitely like more Arcana-y. Orin will turn to Tannhauser and go like, you should, I know it's probably not the right time, but we're kind of pressed for time, Mr. Tannhauser, but maybe you can ask, get through her and see. Shut up, you vermin. I know what I need to do. And I'll do it. I, see it done. I'm going to try an interface with Lady's Ale. Cool. And attempt to activate the airship. That's what we're going to call today's episode. Oh! Good job, everybody. Yay! Sorry, I was like, I get a million buttons. You got an airship! Are you happy you have an airship? Yay! We have an airship! So happy! I don't feel any hurt. Thank you for giving me all that art information on what Lady's Ale looked like. Yeah, no, I can't. I really appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, she looks great. She looks like she's, uh, you know, I almost, I was thinking, oh, man, we're going to have to meet her and she's going to be working for so-and-so and it's going to be a thing and I'm going to have to kill her and now, no, no, no, we're playing Warhammer. You got us ferving our airship, baby. Well, we don't know that fully just yet. We've still got to figure stuff out. We also need to. That is true. The popo. That is true. Yeah. Very exciting. So this is great. You're evil. That fantastic episode, everybody. Hope everyone had an absolutely lovely time.
