Latest / Rotgrind - Narrative Declaration / Reaching The Summit
Transcript
- Who is the first person that Rohua interviews on his podcast? Tree Razor. He's just sitting and spending like six turns buffing and then he's gonna nuke us from orbit. He's just a goblin with caters felled in the bushes behind me. It's a hobgoblin, f*** you. How can I be frightful if I'm paralyzed? I would quite like to go to Brazil. Whoa! You know what else we can do for you right now? Another exciting episode of Rock Grind! Welcome back, everyone, to another exciting episode of Rock Grind, where you can always support us at narrativedeclaration.com and find all of our amazing... Also, remember, everyone, you get a hero point at the start of your thing, put it on your sheet, so it reflects on the thingy. And also, get rid of your debuffs, everything else. We are all fully rested. Except my blindness. Because... That is true. Unfortunately, we got caught unawares last episode, where we tried to rush forth to save Oren's mother from the seeping rot that she was holding at bay. But as soon as we can... I rushed up to her two praetons. Is it praetons or peritons? Peritons. Two peritons were flying about and then attacked us. And so we had to viciously put them down, as they nearly put one of us down, nearly killed Baldrick. But it was a fun encounter. It got better. Very challenging. Oren was running around healing everybody. But of course, Oren's mother was eventually saved. The peritons were banished. And we then found out that they were just protecting her. She was holding the rot back. Saved is a bad term to use there. I was like, oh yeah, I said the wrong vocabulary. They're going to hate me now. We did it. We saved the forest. We saved the rot, everybody. Big claps, big claps. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Campaign over. Yay. We saved it. Good job, everybody. It's all purified. It's now jello. But of course, we then, after having a... being reunited with his mother, who is not dead, they then spawned Pickturn, Squelchfoot's old camp, old cabin, and took a good sleep at the night as Oren's mom made them a fantastical feast, which is basically turning worms into delicious food. Which I remember that part. And Baldrick is blind, has retreated. Everybody else was checking up on each other else. Oren is glancing. Ah, that his mother's okay. Everyone is safe. And Thurston, I think we have to hunt a dragon. I believe that is where we left off. Yes. In the morning of the following day, Oren, your mother greets you all in front of the cozy cabin. You have a moment where she sort of looks over each and every one of you, nodding in turn. Um. With deep respect to you, Oren, she looks into your eyes and says, I believe in you. You can do this. Just climb to the mountain, enter the cave, and you'll know what's right to do. And she puts a hand on your shoulder, smiles, and then she looks over to the rest of the party and kind of sucks in a bit of a breath before speaking. And just be sure, to look after my boy. We always do. Mom's, uh, Oren's looking up with big pee-pee eyes. You know, like, as he blinks. And pee-pee eyes. Yeah, pee-pee eyes. That means his, his eyes are pee-pee-ing. Go check out. I thought you meant like the little plushie, like the pee-pees. Yeah, yeah, like, he's looking out with big white eyes. Oh, that pee-pee. Uh. Yes. Also, remember, for all your character sheets, the book, like, it's like World of Warcraft, top right of Foundry, you might want to right-click those and get all those off. Oh, yeah. Because I see some of you with like every condition in the world. I'm not allowed to decrease the condition. Yeah, I also cannot change the condition. Oh, are you not able to just right-click it? No, it doesn't, it doesn't let me. Huh. Nah. Uh, when we're out of combat, it doesn't show up for us. Oh, okay, well, in your character sheets, there should be an effect tab and then you actually can do it there. I'm purging, I'm purging, I'm purging. Okay, thank you. Every day I wake up prone, sickened four times over. Sorry, I'm tired. I'm tired. Maybe. Oh, I see it, I see it now. But my spindle be probably white. You got it, you got it. I see it. Take it off, take it off, Vena, take it off. Sorry, the producetism got ahead of me and I looked over the overlay. I'm like, we're your boss. Wait, did you say the producetism? Yeah, yeah. The producetism. Is that your new term for it? Yes. The proctism. The biggest, we did a feedback form. Okay. We did a feedback form a while ago. And a lot of people's criticism was like, hey, you seem kind of distant or like, hey, you're being producer a bit too much and stuff. Which I 100% absolutely true. I don't disagree. But apparently that's my thing. I'm doing my best. I apologize. He's got a chronic case of producer. I just think producetism is like the best term we've come up with on this show. It's like, only to mention it because it's silly to me. I think I shared you a link, Thurston. There's this one YouTuber I saw who, because I've been thinking of getting the actual diagnosis for autism for a while, a little bit. Because I was like, oh, maybe I need to spend the money. It's been more and more reinforced as of late. And that was the kicker because I kept going through all their stuff. I'm like, oh, I do all of that. I do all of that. I do every one of them. And I was like, I'm glad that we can help you on your journey. And from two therapists so far, they've done tests with me. And they're like, yeah. I'm like, okay. All right. I'll go get it figured out, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, man. So they distract us from the thing. All right. Sorry. We're playing a game. Orin's looking up at his mom all sad and everything with tears in his eyes. And he kind of gives her a hug. Is it? And he's basically like, are you going to be okay, mom? Like, the rot's still, well, it's my fault. But the rot's still about. Are you going to be able to make it okay? Are you okay enough to do so? You've made a path. I'll be good for any of the things that come about in the forest. Oh, good. I hope you find it, mom. I will. Now, you and your friends go on up. Orin looks at the camera. She didn't follow the bit. No. No, she didn't. Well, there's nothing else. What do you want me to find, Orin? The path. There you go. There you go. One sec. One sec. Nope. Still can't right click and kick someone from the Discord servers. Don't do that. She could turn any threat out there into a tug bird. I think she'll be all right. Yeah, that's right. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, Orin. Sorry, OK. Sorry, Dad just had this fucking visage of like an army of rotten tug birds. I know. I know. Oh my god. Rawr. Rawr. Rawr. Rawr. Rawr. It's like the worst squelching sound. Tug birds will haunt the living. Yeah, but he lets go of his mother, and waves her goodbye, and will say like, I won't let you down mom oh yeah yeah yeah and so with that she nods she leaves the rest of you grabs up her pack and her you know walking stick and she makes her way away leaving you at the base of the mountain of Berg's fingers to make the ascent I need one of you to check in on something here by the way yeah yes I can't see anything yes you can I faced you last night Thurston can I retroactively have spent my spell slot for cleanse affliction before we reset our character sheets I was like wait a second I was supposed to do the last session but then we ended yeah but I think Baldrick very intentionally said he wasn't like worrying anyone until you woke up yeah I said that specifically and he was going to go to bed and ask about it in the morning but please by all means destroy my own destroy my own roleplay take it from me you want my blood too you know what no I want you to have your roleplay Thurston who is just mentally ill he absolutely didn't fix Baldrick last night and he is still blind thank you I also assume that you prepared your spell slots and now you don't have it prepared right oh I still have it but now I'm not going to take it away from you oh thank god he can be blind okay well let's roleplay this out look I'm not a fucking referee roleplay this scene oh you're blind yeah have been since I ate dirt yesterday after those things did some kind of explosive spell oh I thought you see before you said this spell I thought you were going to say you went blind after you ate the dirt that Borin gave you or in a like expert like Excel's hair like oh god oh god you're so worried here I was thinking that he prepared the 24 hour blinding dirt no been blind since I went down in the fight yesterday oh it's terrible if you would have said something I could have just taken that away from you like why didn't you say anything last night I was trying to say something this morning but we were kind of hurriedly getting out of the cabin didn't feel like a good time to bring it up hmm friends before I you know waves his hands around do my thing do any of you have something that's not a spell slot we can use to fix him just to clarify you're not going to explode him no he's not my minion nor is he small and pathetic like you know once yeah that is what people are always saying about me all the time I have very good hearing so if someone tries to put their hands anywhere close to my eyes to try and pluck them out I'm going to explode you and me and everyone else here we're not going to do that Baldrick will tilt his head towards Rahua because he can't look at him nobody no takers Orin you don't have unblinding dirt by any chance uh he opens up his character sheet uh my staff has cleans up collection rank two so it doesn't that doesn't even do anything uh Spence Hero point over now has one unblinding dirt it's pocket sand but in reverse it just pulls it away free sand can you say pocket sand backwards what is pocket sand backwards let's find out all right if I presented the session on determining how to bounce pocket sand backwards yes yup oh yeah I'm just not I'm just allocating the time now so I can get with my tax consultant about it of course of course yeah we're having a good time it's fun banter we love it see chat I know chat loves her buttons banter I'm not I'm just trying not to spell a spell slot I'm a cheap bitch are you kidding me yes you would pronounce it as nasp sub pocket snick up tech up excuse me nas tick up perfect the only thing you like is going to come back in style in terms of removing your blindness is potentially with my blessed archetype to where I don't think blind blind blind dog that responds to the word blessed I see it in no way oh my god it does I see in no way on how it can yeah it can't click unless I can do first aid or something or treat condition treat condition would probably be the closest I got I don't know see if it does blindness if a creature has a multiple conditions from the list or reduced the clumsy and feeble are sick and conditioned nope damn I can only make you feel better if you're clumsy sick or feeble if you have lost all eyesight I'm sorry you need to find a church you need to find doctor gotta find God find God thank you wait wait wait no I have it I have it mercy of body blinded alright well there you go yay merciful he just touches you I lay on hands you you a paladin no I'm blessed he just like stuck in you hashtag blessed he's like oh don't worry Mr. Baldrick I can help you out he picks up a whole like handful of mud and he kind of like puts it in Baldrick's hand and he can feel the little worms inside like put that in your eyes the worms will find the sickness inside I'm just letting it hang I'm just letting it hang why aren't you letting the worms find the sickness inside what's wrong with you put the worms in your eyes do it he made those worms special for you he made them from the ground Baldrick puts his hand those are his babies he takes his hand containing the mud and the worms under his helmet the end can't come soon enough he begins wiping the worms and dirt into his eyes you're you're now healed you can see as they eat away the corruption and I don't know go where I blindness eating worms go they eat the corruption slither out of your slots of your eyes and then they like in front of you wither into little charcoal sticks little flowers little flowers and then the ashes of them fall to the ground and bloom into a flower excellent perfect narrative declaration they'd actually turn into lichen okay no wolves you don't get to take that from me mark the man down a hero point you fuckers Thurston's entering his evil arc we can't ever he's a genie now do you guys want me to make Thurston mad as recompense I already know you don't you you don't need to ask that you know you know you're going to anyway as as this occurs Tannhauser is going to thoughtfully look up the mountain uh Orin yeah how big would you say this mountain is give me a second why am I asking you no no no no no no too late you blew it give me a second I one moment you're the biggest of the universe one moment I'm getting information it's been two oh it's about seven thousand five hundred and twenty meters high oh man you know what would have really been able to help us climb a seven thousand meter high mountain a grappling hook yeah or a climbers kit Orin airship uh listen children I have a question do we know for certain where the dragon's lair is Thurston yes can I recall knowledge to see the flight path of the dragon to get a good estimate of where the dragon would be um I mean yes you can give me a survival check is what I want here excellent go to my thing and click survival uh that is a ten on the die for a total of thirty one okay um so that's enough for you to know it's somewhere in the mountain um probably along the higher peaks it's resting somewhere around you know where the cave that you have to go is I think I got a good estimate Mr. Tannhauser it's like if we go up that if we go up this way you can see up the waterfall that way if you take this path and then there should be at least some there if I remember right there should be a spiral path upward all right so we need to go above a waterfall can I see a waterfall from the ground uh the waterfall that Zoran just decided was there yes absolutely excellent yeah you prepared for the waterfall right we have a waterfall map yeah hundred percent okay good good good all right give me twenty minutes Tannhauser's gonna take ten minutes I'm going to replace grasp of the deep with teleport then I will spend ten minutes casting teleport uh huh I'm going to shut the hell up Bina all right you understand how much I've been preparing to fight this dragon what rank is this by the way is it sixth sixth this is a sixth rank spell okay cool cool cool cool is there just a goblin with counterspell in the bushes behind me oh yeah the counterspell goblin in the mountains it's a hobgoblin fuck you a bush I'm making myself laugh I'm sorry okay that means you're having a good time how dare you have fun speaker I know that's fucked up why would you do that the point sorry please don't hurt me if you're not laughing and having a good time then why are you here you know everyone hold hands Orin grabs Baldrick's hand and Rahua's hand Baldrick will grab Vina's and whatever Orin's already got your other hand Rahua will grab Tannhauser's hand I'm losing track of hands I'll grab um Baldrick and Tannhauser you can always cheat by saying you complete the link is that true I would also accept like Guardians of the Galaxy style someone's hand goes out to Globtalk's hand laughing you mean Globtalk desiccated corpse the mummified remains Globtalk help laughing nobody came to help nobody came to help Globtalk remains of Globtalk shortly we'll forget somebody made all that I want to propose something different Orin kind of sees what Tannhauser is doing he's like alright everyone hands in and he kind of puts a hand in for everyone to kind of put their hands in like over Tannhauser's hand because of the technicality you went up before targets touched laughing so he needs to you know do that that's true come on everyone hands in Tannhauser will put his hand in yep Baldrick puts his hand in he puts his hand in alright keep going by the power of the left by the corridors of time bring forth this power for movement and mind I cast the spell disintegrate just kidding and I'm going to cast teleport laughing up to the waterfall that Thurston has prepared for us yeah totally one sec it's like to help I said there was a waterfall as a landmark and then we have to go past it and around and things like that so it can be wherever Thurston wants it looks like we're cast in teleport twice also I want I want Orin to only hear that you actually said disintegrate and as his body begins to disappear from teleport he's freaking out he's like laughing laughing uh the hobgoblin general fails to counterspell you so what was he doing here hobgoblin around man we'll be seeing him in 10 minutes when he teleports behind us laughing he's hobbing on his goblin I don't know he's gobbling his gob that's scary I don't like this um the Tannhauser describe what the um the sensation of returning to reality from a Tannhauser teleport is like um it's like a quick moment full it's like a thunder crack it's like all of a sudden you're surrounded by scintillating glowing blue energy it just consumes and whops around you briefly you feel the momentum and the movement of having every cell in your body teleported all at once like moving individually your atoms scattering and then recombining um and then all of a sudden you're back and there's like no momentum lost and you feel like you should have been going at like 500 miles per hour but actually you're like stood still exactly where you're supposed to be in a big flash of light so you cast motion sickness it feels like you should have motion sickness but you don't when you get there ugh okay like a dobblr effect the screen's gonna be like he's tapping himself a bit he's tapping himself a bit he's tapping himself a bit he looks at Tannhauser and he's like uh but but Mr. Tannhauser um uh but but if we teleported then it's it's are we here here is is us here what did you just destroy us there and made new us new of us here oh fuck we're Thomas Riker conversationing alright guys you got this for five minutes I'm going to the bathroom wait wait wait wait wait wait wait I need you back I need you back I wait wait I need you back there's the don't go to the bathroom hold on are you still here please yeah yeah hold it yeah for sure I'm holding it we need every advantage that we can against this dragon which is what's going to make this so painful it's you don't get duplicates I spend oh I spend a hero point to make evil Thomas Riker fuck him actually no you know what fuck that mark him down the hero point now discuss the biometrics the biometric wait what like how tall he is now do you know do you know the discussion of teleportation or like whenever uh people beam in Star Trek to where it's that theory of like did you actually just kill that person and made a new person there oh yeah no 100% yeah no in Star Trek yeah every time you teleport you die I think I think that's pretty objectively true no it's not what utopia would create a machine that instantly kills someone and creates a new clone of them that's not a utopian ideal people who don't know better uh well they don't that's not Star Trek's fault it's just the scientific principle that it applies because I don't think they thought that through until after they explained it they're like wait hold on a second technically it does kill you I think in one episode it was a new discovery that creatures lived like in that kind of like space where they would transition all the atoms and everything there's creatures there it would be it is from a story perspective it is thoroughly unsatisfying and therefore I deny you power I I agree that in the story of Star Trek and in the canon of Star Trek you should not treat them as if they died but if you made that exact Star Trek technology in real life every single time you teleported yeah you would absolutely die that's a good thing we don't have Pelletort however here's here's another thing by that same token um uh I'm very sorry uh Erndil you know how when you were trying to ask me that question about teleportation earlier yeah the you from there is dead as is the you that is going to hear this in one second that's because all consciousness is is momentarily uh momentary flashes of electro electricity throughout your biochemistry which means that technically if you want to experience what it feels like to be dead just wait a second and the person that you were a second ago is already dead speaker I need you to abstract this I punch you in the face oh the me that's going to get punched in the face is really gonna hurt before they die but there's always the theory that once you punch someone in the face it's not you always touching them there's always that layer of air and electricity stuff or whatever because the atoms don't fully touch and so doesn't apply to me punching he is not liquid nitrogen and my hand is not going into him he is a being of flesh like you and I I am punching him and now I'm gonna make it a bruise I you don't want to punch me all right because Zoran might get upset whenever Zoran punches it's a thunder punch yeah but I have the thunder cross split attack courtesy of Dyer oh that's an unbeatable attack I can't that's right and even if you kill me my head's gonna fall into a bucket of roses and I'm gonna shoot one into your eye I can't tolerate this I don't want to make people that's a deep fucking cut Zoran that's a deep fucking cut you monster hey um Thurston making evil Orin sounds like it would waste a lot of our time can I retract that attempt to make evil Orin oh no that was that was like you know how you were just talking about how the past you is dead but it was the past you that made that decision so we're sticking to that past you decision cause that past me died wanting that so I should honor that yeah exactly he died for that for that narrative declaration you're right you know what fair enough so with that law of logic since now speaker's playing a new character he should start with a hero plan cause now he's just now playing the same character well technically since we all just died we should be level one because I mean we could start at our current level does experience not go through a teleport okay first of all first of all that is the best fucking idea for a starfinder adventure I've ever fucking heard is like you market it you market the adventure is a 15th level fucking high level adventure the first fucking encounter is a transporter mishap and it's secretly we've like sold a level one through five adventure that would be really good write that down you're welcome Thurston check is presumably in the mail to me for me for me who created the circumstance I'm grabbing the reins I'm grabbing the reins we have now been teleported up onto the mountain itself we've all come out to the other end all intact I hope Thurston we have arrived how's it going up here all right so you find yourself on what is clearly a winding path atop a snow capped mountain there are rocky outcroppings that sort of jut out there are freestanding trees and rock debris couple of trees that have collapsed over under the weight of snow there's a path that seems to wind within the snow as well there's also just a light amount of snow that's falling from kind of a hazy overcast hundreds maybe thousands of feet below you can see distant tree lines and like a far stream away as you're sort of going along this curving path that's where you teleport into or turns around and goes okay guys this is it we're gonna find this thing we're gonna take it down get the stuff and save the world that's right I need ten more minutes but for what we're not teleporting anywhere else today I'm gonna touch my quantum engine regain my teleport spell slot and then I'm gonna exchange it back for the gasp of the deep okay okay so one of the things everyone like like we gotta come up with a plan I was like I'll do my best to try to keep everyone healthy and if needs be I too could turn into a dragon and start tossing with it but I don't think I'm that good of a fighter so we need someone to hold its attention the best we can Baldrick turns to Rahua oh we're throwing Rahua into that one well he is the sturdiest of us all he's the sturdiest he draws the most attention he's also not you know he's got armor I'm usually the one kind of in things faces although I definitely appreciate that is true that is true and I would rather not be hit yeah Miss Veena could be the one to always try to keep it off balance like go after its legs and its flanks and constantly try to like distract it and make it move all the time so it can't be consistent it is also a matter of trying to keep it on the ground uh both Rahua and I can fly but not as fast as that thing well that's why we he looks up at Mr. Tannhauser beaming so fucking proud about what he's about to say that's why we have a wizard that is true I've compared two earthbind spells for just that possibility however dragons are fearsome foes it is quite likely that we'll be able to shrug off those effects Baldrick is going to chime in at this point do we know what kind of dragon this is a rotten dragon we saw its breath weapon there's no elemental advantage that I can siphon at least right now Thurston I have an inquiry yeah would Baldrick's collegiate understanding of rot and the effect it has on creatures uh would a dragon that is nominally resistant to say something like fire still retain fire resistance while rotten um it depends because the rot is a very like it's a very very mutable substance however you've had experience with this particular dragon uh the biggest thing you you noted is that there was a a weakness to moss um but there did not appear to be much in terms of resistance to fire okay because that's the only other thing that I have that is remotely usable against rot is the fire and the other spells the other bombs I have and because my moss bomb is regrettably not up to spec because that one is pretty slow comparatively to help with that uh Orin begins to be like everyone give me your weapons that you have or the ones you can use and Orin will begin to cast mossy weapon on them all I will refuse mine yeah you don't want to do that I will refuse it I have made an oath to the powers of this land never to use my hands again to kill I believe that even in this case to allow you to enchant my staff would be a violation of that of course Mr. Tannhauser now as we've all discussed using a pseudo pod is a completely different situation that's the only situation I grant but yes yes yes the gods are accepting this loophole apparently it's not a loop I tried to chop off my hand Balric! it's a loophole except I'll get you I'll get you uh quick thing for Thurston does Tannhauser get his hero point back fine okay but evil Orin's still out there he has a goatee yeah is he watching us mysteriously well if he's watching us mysteriously from the clips oh it's not even mysteriously he's just really obvious every time there's like a picture of us there's just him fucking mad what are you talking about he has a head start on getting back to Orin's mom and dad oh that's the evil GM in me right there um so Orin okay well Orgrimangr still doesn't want to well what I could do is help protect everyone the best I can and try to try to cast some spells to help out and one thing we could do is if you ever need a rest or something that I can at least cast regenerate on one of you and then I can potentially cast uh cloak of light so whoever's near me keeps getting healed so so for you Mr. Baldrick I might need to stay with you if I see you keep keep getting hit or not so you can just try to avoid being seen uh Orin will nod he goes like he's like I think that'll be super useful Mr. Baldrick because well you have the strongest potions I've ever seen and with how much it really has been melting people I think you're gonna be really useful here mm-hmm so remember everyone if tangled dragons don't fight in their own turf because we do fly up there and fight that dragon we have to consider also falling so if you're gonna go up prepare to come down I'm able to sustain myself but for all of you Mr. Tannhauser do you have anything to help people fall down softly I've prepared myself a gentle landing spell and beyond that a jump and gust of wind so perhaps if you are falling I will be able to catch you or at least direct you oh sorry I have to burp there for a second do you mind oh since your nan is falling out here he puts him back in oh thank you guys I'll grab him and put him in my hose uh I can use gentle landing to stymie your fall I can also if necessary use one of my earthbind spells upon you try to avoid falling off the mountain though that that would be very good yeah we want to limit its movement as much as we can so any way that you can get it you know cozy in somewhere anything with the terrain also keep yourself in cover if we can get it I mean if we can keep it in the cave but I don't think we have anything to really keep it in the cave if we can get it on the ground I can hopefully create a wall stop it from killing us or getting out and once those walls are made I can make hell on earth for it if you think you can Mr. Tannhauser but I wouldn't bank on it it's a pretty big dragon well it'd be stuck in there with us rather than we with them yeah right correct yeah if need be I can also create a safe passage within the mountain itself something to hopefully sustain us should its breath weapon appear but to do so will require much of my action wait that's a game turn ah fuck yeah you see here Mr. Tannhauser he points at the diamonds on your spell book that's how much it'll do laughs well Mr. Rahula do you think you can protect yourself against a dragon and try to get its attention the best you can well Oren I'll certainly do the very best I can I don't know how appetizing I'll be to a dragon though I'm just made of wood you know to help give I'm sorry to interrupt you to help give you the best chance of trying to attract this thing's attention Thurston I'd like to propose two things I kind of propose a nature check to find like maybe there's something I can like maybe I can combine the moss enchantments in some way with something to kind of put on Rahula like maybe the growing talking fungus people that's on him and have the dragon be like that's moss I need to kill it you know I need to get rid of that because that's a threat to me or uh kind of use like my lower skill plants second time I get to use it if it ever if it works uh to potentially find like some combination of herbs or something that would trigger this dragon to be like hey I don't like that or it's like a smell that kind of drives it to want to go after a target yeah I'd allow lower plants I think that's a perfect use here awesome could I may I assist with a lower herbalism yeah that'd be awesome all right let me roll mine first and then your assistance comes in so I got a 28 total 13 I'll die now you roll yours the dc usually is 15 unless there's someone to change it and then if it passes I get a plus that's a nat one make it worse so I get a negative one if I remember right so turns out turns out I don't know shit about fuck here please uh please roll the complicate yeah just determine the complicate for us oh boy uh oh oh oh I've selected some very good ones fuck all three of these are amazing uh Thurston can you roll me a 1d3 a three complication from the dragon from the dragon from the dragon the complication by Zenit is pull the lever minion a hostile otherwise unfriendly NPC pulls a nearby lever either immediately or on its turn only Thurston knows what the lever does hobgoblin's coming back thank you Zenit for that complication you too can submit complication at narrative declaration or patreon.com or patreon.com forward slash narrative declaration Zenit that's the most appropriate one give me a sec here this is gonna be very important one sec I gotta do some stuff here I think this is good what's gonna trigger the combat what trigger the whole start battle now lever yeah yeah right next to the button says bet you can't guess what this one does so the the hobgoblin general who serves the dragon has been alerted as the dragon's alarm anti-teleportation alarm goes off of course of course he has that it is pulled the lever uh let's put everyone into combat because you know if I could get everyone to uh just just roll some some initiative that'd be great thanks all right I believe you wanted I think Baldrick wanted to do stealth I think yeah yeah well at least I didn't roll that one on stealth yeah you can just ask Thurston to be like hey I want to sneak can I position myself somewhere I think you'll yeah I'm gonna yeah absolutely you can maneuver around here a bit like you don't have to be in this exact formation I've placed you in so and for initiative Baldrick with the stealth got a 38 Oren got a 37 Veena got a 24 Rehuba got a 24 and Tannhauser got a 22 sorry I took it from you for time um so that is our initiative so far we don't know the dragons yet well there's no dragon there's just a hobgoblin oh yes what's his initiative just the one Erndell um I'm confused what no I know we're fighting the hobgoblins everyone's talking at once uh uh yeah go ahead just just speak please okay so there's a hobgoblin who's pulled the lever as all of you have began sort of your preparations and Hulki you're like you have you have Tannhauser sort of coming up to you uh sorry not Tannhauser coming up to you kind of I don't know lathering you with dirt and moss and as this is happening your eye is like trying to maneuver around like to be like no like change that but like you're so distracted and then your eye just like lowers to the southeast of the path that you're on and there is a lone hobgoblin whose hand has pulled a lever um which you then are able to alert to your companions um and so beginning the encounter um we're going to start with Baldrick who has the highest uh initiative uh okay so uh I don't I don't really even know um 125 feet away from me fucking move out of sight I'm gonna move over here to action move and then my turn because I feel like wasting attacks on this is a waste of my limited resources absolutely okay uh it's gonna bring us over to Oren awesome also multiple of you still have stats on so I'm going to get rid of those for you should no longer be there excellent all right because I know Rahua is gonna need this uh he wants to preliminary buff his friends so Oren is gonna take a turn uh to basically cast paste upon Rahua so for a good long bit you'll be able to move around just fine and try to engage that dragon and do some extra stuff and for his final action he is going to begin to fly up a little bit he's going to begin to fly up I think I'm gonna go 5 10 about 15 of going straight up so he's gonna begin to take flight with his wings and that'll be the end of his turn okay perfect the hobgoblin his first action is to move up 25 feet all right he draws a short composite bow he targets Rahua he shoots a short comp or composite short bow at Rahua I'm living in fear uh oh he critically misses by 19 oh my god wow Veena your go uh all right so we just see the hobgoblin and his funny lever mm-hmm all right guys are we trying to kill this thing I don't know it just kind of looks like a little guy okay uh Veena's gonna go maybe it knows where the dragon is it might uh first action move second action damn I can't get right up to it I could get close though well 29 on initiative and it's like that was its like that was basically it like juice in its one roll that was its life had a good run good job buddy all right uh so that was two actions to move third action I'm not gonna bother too much with panache he just looks like a little guy uh I'm just gonna take the hill to my sword and hit him as hard as I can on the back of the head yeah do it ha critting him uh oh crit him come up to this little guy you bop him that doesn't feel like a great crit I'll be real considering it rolled a 16 and that feels like a low blow oh this is what Thurston's bosses have been doing to us ha ha oh he succeeded on his fortitude save though and yeah I will do 62 damage attacking him on the back of the head with a rock he's still standing he takes it oh you're a hardy little guy huh can you tell us where the dragon is and I'm gonna end my turn I just bashed you in the back of the head and you're bleeding everywhere hey by the way where's your boss he hits you again hey where's your boss I could just be here you know hold on not the dark souls health bar ha ha ha I his phase two is gonna be wild there's gonna be a second one trusty patches phase two surrender it's true you like bop this hobgoblin on the head it recoils back it's like holding a short bow so he can't even like hit you back and he's just like yeah he's got the spearhead Rahua well considering all my stuff is out of range save for a spell I'm not going to waste on a hobgoblin Rahua's just gonna fucking move up so so downgrading the hobgoblins man it's a fucking hobgoblin dude there's a there's a dragon somewhere whoa why are you booing me I'm right welcome to the Rahua gets cancelled episode everybody so true so true so much for that let's holler at left if you want to be part of the revolution you got a rogan podcast ha ha ha ha ha ha ha who is the first person that Rahua interviews on his podcast tree razor yeah touche there's there's some great fan art right there you can do that the Rahua experience I was gonna say one of the I was gonna say one of the fan lords elanos muscovich stop tweaking brick with him hey are we beating this hobgoblin to death peter do we need to do that I wasn't I wasn't gonna kill him honestly that just feels like a low blow I mean yeah you just kind of came up and beat him on the head hey look do you live around here oh whatever he was trying to shoot at us so you know this is a harsh lesson to learn alright I suddenly don't care anymore I don't think he wants to make amends he's not even sorry tanhouser alright so the first thing tanhouser is going to do on his turn is complicate because I rolled a natural one for initiative nope we decided we decided nevermind that dimension no longer exists for us that was a second ago that was a second ago this is right now and that tanhouser is dead canonically okay tanhouser is gonna move 25 feet am I in range still no tanhouser is going to move another 25 feet and using one action I would very much like yeah I would very much like to see are there any other signs of goblins or other minions perhaps lying in wait to support this creature this is not the sort of individual that tends to operate alone I don't think give me a perception check you got it oh actually my land speed is 30 so right here epic okay that is a 14 that is a 14 on the die for total 34 because I'll say that you were detecting magic as you know your exploration activity which I believe you said there's enough residual that you're able to look around see what's going on it's not that there's there's others nearby instead it looks like what you've honed in on is a pocket on this mountain where the dragon has set up essentially like teleportation traps so anyone who would teleport or use translocation type magic to move around there are you know essentially nearby alert stations which connect to other ley lines based on the lever that this goblin is pulled you're guessing that this is some kind of like I don't know ancient like hobgoblin tribal role that they might have had on this map mountain I see like if this thing gets tripped go pull the lever kind of a deal and you're doing so in service to the great draconic deity how interesting well that's my turn okay that will bring us over back to Baldrick Baldrick? Baldrick? Baldrick? this is just so funny to me cause I'm I literally shouldn't do anything because if I throw any of my greater alchemist fire at this thing there's just no way cause he's a little he's a little freak you can just throw a rod I will just end my turn cause I don't see myself doing anything else he's still valid Orin kill him use power beam uh fly up sorry I'm trying to like measure here I should have 35 of fly speed I do alright he's gonna fly up for one action just so I don't have to maintain the fly thing uh he is 60 feet away do I have anything that's 60 feet away the blast with my cantrips do I frostbite I do I do have it okay I am going to cast frostbite and also fix the zoom of the combat camera so next time it targets a thing it can kind of see the token and the target there it goes casting frostbite basically that thing needs to make me a dc31 fortitude save oh it's gonna be fine oh yeah it masters these he's really good at these he crit failed okay so here's the damage 8d4 this is gonna be doubled so double of 16 awesome I got it as hard as oh yeah and there's the beam um I got it yeah the dragon though beware the dragon to our presence at the very least other compares but but the lever oh he looks off to the distance and sees it uh oh the dragon circles around Thurston I give you full permission to change the boss health bar to whatever you want anything I want whatever is optional there so I know I told you no in the past I think you deserve whichever one you want it to be that's what the lever does that's his promotion um this one that's very like that will give you hope because you can fight it in segments so I'm not a fan of that uh you're on a freezing mountain so ice is always pretty fun um but you know I think we might have to go with you know a classic royal boss yeah very nice there we go dude dragon spends one round approaching it then spends another round casting a spell uh oh and it lets out a horrifying roar as all of you turn and see it wheeling around the mountain coming towards you um several hundred feet away you see it just in time for it to roar and then turn invisible oh this fucker also we're on our discord I'm playing the I'm playing cool dragon sounds if you want to be immersed yeah hell yeah dragon sounds Thorsten not realizing that I am also invisible because I took no combat action so he didn't see me that is true it's very true Bina here go okay damn so this thing went invisible um sure did in anticipation of breath weapon chicanery uh Bina's going to start kind of spreading out a bit okay jump behind here and then I am going to take a uh stealth action awesome you mean get the hide action for you? you got it give me a check oh god I got you oh thank you thank you make sure you have hardware acceleration on yes oh no I do um I'm just not on a great PC right now oh yeah I think you're on your little like oh god I'm dying Mac yeah I'm sorry my Mac that's almost a decade old ooh that's not so good why did it do it privately? suppose so on how hiding works uh it is a what we call like it's a secret check yeah it's a secret check we never really have done it in this but basically how it works you do a secret check only Thurston would would know of it but he'll reveal it in the show that's a 26 and then you just don't know that's the risk of it and it has to beat that with his perception it has to beat that basically to see if he knows what you've done I see I see I see so like in core Pathfinder rules there's a lot of things that are listed as secret checks like for example anytime you recall knowledge about something it's a secret check you don't know the results um it's a very common house rule which I employ pretty rigorously that I'm not a fan of secret checks it leads to like weird gameyism so I much prefer people being able to see the results that way they can use hero points and stuff appropriately ah that's what we've always done so you can see the rules yeah good to know um yeah I I will go ahead and keep that just cause I I don't think that is worth spending the hero point so Veena's just going to duck down and be on alert for when this dragon gets closer inevitably okay okay uh let's go to Rahua uh Rahua's gonna see the dragon disappear from sight and take the opportunity to whisper a few words into the end that waits beyond and know that it's okay because whatever happens is going to have to happen and offer a benediction to the anarchy for two actions and then use the other to move slightly further away okay and drop out of sight right 10 has her ear up alright time to put the plan into action uh my I am going to go ahead and ah so many choices really um I think that it is very clear that we are intending to bait this bastard out So, to that end, I am going to spend my turn, I am going to tap my staff to the ground, and I am going to cast Mist. And I'm going to create a 20-foot cloud, where those beings within it become concealed. And hopefully this will help us remain stealthy. That is a three-action cast, so that is my turn. Awesome, okay. Baldrick, you're up. I want to inquire, because I asserted it pretty boldly, am I still hidden, or do I need to re-up my stealth? You stick with the same thing until you maneuver out into somewhere new, or anything like that. I will continue. I would actually like to delay, so I'm going to do that. Okay. I guess I believe that's what I just did there. Yeah, just delay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's, um, I don't know if there's a button for it on this overlay, but yeah, I know you're delayed. Yeah, the, I think the hourglass button, right by, if we do this... Yeah, the problem is some of the names go super long now, so it cuts it off. There we go. I have chosen to delay. Yeah. There we go. Cool. All right, Oren. Yeah, you, you, for you, you have to stretch it horizontally a bit, if you pop it out. Um, for Oren, now that Tano's done the miss, it's, I have two minds for the strategy of it. One, fantastic. Two, if he already knows we're here, he can easily get a breath weapon on all of us still, so it still risks, um, it still risks that. Yeah. And I, I have various spells, obviously, but I am so curious, because I have to kind of use them reactively, because if I try to buff some people now, it's not gonna be helpful. Not to mention I need to hold my high level spell slots for good heals, uh, when I need it. So I'm going to use this opportunity to try to get some spreading going. Uh, Oren's going to fly, uh, for one action this way. Flutter, flutter, flutter to the edge of this miss, going more eastward down the path. Uh, second action, he is going to go further east, kind of in between Veena and Tannhauser, kind of like behind this tree, but he's still fifting up, feet up in the air. And that is all he's going to prep for, really, as he kind of sees this dragon just rushing over. Well, you don't see the dragon, because the dragon's invisible. Oh, yeah, that's right. I imagine. He imagines. He, he, he feels the pressure of the air going. He imagines dragons. Yeah. I, I'm angry now. You've ruined the moment, Speaker. Imagine does. I take my ass and I slap mine. Sorry. What? What? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, he's moving. He's moving. Do you see that? I do see that. That's not good. Pretend that you don't. All right. Everyone, close your eyes. Yeah. I'm in. I'm not looking at the stream. La, la, la, la, la, la, la. All right. No one look. No one. I'm looking away. Just tell me when you're done, Thurston. I'm not paying attention. I'm doing my pulls. Yeah. Okay. Just tell me when you're done. Okay. Okay, so he's done. Okay, I can look over now. All right, so still, still nothing from this guy. Um, definitely want to stay spread out, because we don't want to get tagged by that breath weapon. Um, should I go a little further? I don't want to be too out of range of like, heels or anything, but I also don't want to be in the code. I recommend you do what you need to do to do as much damage as you can. It's my job to get to you. If I need you to come to me, we can coordinate. Okay. Like, right now, we just need, I, I'm not going to play your thing. You go, my bad. Oh yeah, no worries. Um, yeah, in that case, I'm just going to preemptively use two actions to pop my wings. Um. Well, the thing is, if he decides not to engage us here, I'm going to not have these for later, because they only last for 10 minutes. 10 minutes is a long time. That's like. It is a long time, but it's like, if he disengages from this particular encounter with him. Fucking hell, Odo, look at you. I'm proud of you. Like, you absolutely see a potential strong tactic that I could employ. Which is let you blow everything and then just have it fly off invisible. Respect to you. Thank you. Very good. I, I, gamering, gamer, um, yeah. You wasn't praising me when I sat and didn't do anything. True. True. It was less cool. Um. Brutal. So in that case, I will actually save my wings. Uh, because it looks like, I don't know where this guy is. And if they accuse me. If they expire, then I'm out of them for the rest of the day. Uh, so I'm going to go ahead and one action swoops over here. Second action hits you with a little bit of a stick. Okay. Oh, she's chugging. She's like, I promise. I believe. I believe. I believe. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug. Chug it. Chug. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. Chug it. All right. Oh. There it goes. There it goes. All right. So, not bad. So, Veena's going to duck behind, kind of folding the sword close, just keeping an eye out, being as observant as possible, trying to see. Hmm. Hmm. a dragon turn invisible, so Veena's just going to be on the lookout for any external signs that this thing is moving. You know, clouds parting, or just things like that. Sure. Okay. And that'll be my turn. Alright. The podcast listeners, Veena rolled a 34 for their stealth check. Oh, yes. Rahula? Well, Rahula's still stuck within the stealth cloud, however. You're not stuck in there, but you're good. I mean, I'm not stuck in, but I've gotten stuck in. Like, term of phrase. Rahula's going to move a little bit further towards the edge of it. Try and sit right in the middle. Actually, better yet, sit right outside of it. Okay. And one action move, second action is going to draw his shield. You mean action ray shield? Ray shield? Well, I... It's not drawing yet, so... It doesn't hide your stuff now. No, I was just going to raw dog that. I was like, oh, oh, right. I didn't anticipate the invisibility. I was just going to latch on and try and ride him. Or Rahula will instead raise the shield that he's obviously had drawn the whole time. And beckon the dragon, come closer, and fight me like a real evolved life form. Dinosaurs use invisibility. Dragons don't do that. What are you, some kind of coward? I'll keep passing the ball. Okay, we'll know what happens. Oh, very tense stuff, but I do have something that I can do. I'm going to go ahead and, oh, God, I have a few options, but honestly, I think what I oughtn't to do... Okay, there's a limit on height for some things, but not on length, I notice. Okay. Um, I am going, and you can stop me if this cannot happen, right? But I am going to cast wall of stone okay and i'm actually going to cast this in an unusual way um i'm going to uh choose a point uh let's say a hundred feet up on the this cliff face or whatever the height of this cliff faces yeah and i am going to extend basically a solid line um 120 feet forward yeah okay so the idea is basically there's just an aperture like here or like here that just i i don't know can you drop templates with your yeah he can create one um yeah top left speaker there's a little measurement ruler icon there you click and click the square one and think of you drag over each square to indicate where you kind of want this thing then you can rotate it with like shift and scroll wheel very good okay so these are all 10 foot by 10 foot sections and you can come out below right that's about what i'm looking for so just like a large aerial flank that is just up in the air it's like a giant plank cool yeah this thing comes out of the mountain shuts over everything shades the poor hobgoblin corpse underneath it how tall that's what how high was it up however high up the cliff faces um i would uh like it to be probably about like has to be within three inches i don't know about within 120 feet so yeah it's probably at the angle about 80 feet up 80 feet up is fine by me i mean this dragon can go 500 feet up if they wanted to so it's like a it's a fact of life anyway that is my turn because that was three actions okay baldrick okay so from what i understand i should approach carefully and stealthily so as to not let this thing know that i'm here so i'm going to make a one action move to there now they're all saying they can see okay so i'm going to make a one action move to there it but i cannot see it so that's fine which is okay what was that okay i'm going to then move to this spot betwixt the boulders and would i need to make another stealth check or am i still okay uh you should be fine you're you're i'm just gonna count as you kind of moving from cover to cover so okay then i am going to once again end my turn as i creep forward or in europe i'm going to delay for after the dragon goes okay oh yeah i won't look away you can't look at it i'll just minimize it test something real quick no we can't look we can't cheat yeah we can't do that hey chad out of one out of ten do you think we're going to survive like ten of we're totally going to survive one of we're dead three damn chad has got a uh very moderate amount of faith in us you hear some like mutterings um in the air as though there's some like some incantations being uttered in draconic um and then the sound of more invisible movement around the wings kind of approaching but you're not sure from where vina oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I don't think i can hear you it'll be it'll be my turn now oh yeah if you want to come up yes if i click that there we go there we go you gotta try to seek those mana jama oh sorry uh if i click the button it should i got it out of it there you go now it's awesome thank you sir um you said it was like doing some muttering and stuff like that right yeah may i do a perception check to try to triangulate where the sound is yes it was basically um gonna do the seek action yeah which version of the seek action are you doing oh there's so many of them but there's the cone and the god damn it just scan an area for signs a creature's object possibly including the secret doors it has sound choose an area to scan the gm determines the area you can scan with oncec action almost always 30 feet or less pre-instant in any dimension the game master might impose a penalty if you search far away from you or just the number of actions it takes to seek them away from you or just the number of actions it takes to seek them alessandra seek a particularly cluttered area uh the GM attempts a secret perception check for you and compares the results of the stealthy sea of any undetected or hidden creatures in the area uh okay so what I'm going to do I would like to spend one action to keep flight because I need to maintain it uh and I want to if it's okay dedicate at least two actions to try and really triangulate like hearing the beating of the way of the wings feeling the pressure of the air you know it's kind of like my excuse is having kind of like a bird sense of like you're feeling a shift around you of the kind of the air pressure go like okay it's somewhere in that area um do you permit that is that okay or would you like me to do something absolutely I'll allow it I'll allow it sure awesome uh let me do a public perception check for you you want it hidden yeah okay you can give me a problem all right here's a perception you all know oh cool too oh nice job oh yeah it's a howling mountaintop the snow seems to be intensifying there's lots of whipping wind yeah it's really hard to get a beat on this thing yeah as Oren tries his best to triangulate its position he's like I can't I can't tell where it is everyone it's like at least keep try to listen for it listen for the wings and that'll be the end of his turn okay dina okay um so Oren didn't find anything it still hasn't done anything there's been muttering and draconic bena's going I was about to say it's flying around casting spells but they don't seem to break invisibility for what that's worth uh oh he's just sitting and spending like six turns buffing and then he's gonna nuke us from orbit I'm with you go dragon can do more these chickenn-pump- format so we're gonna miss that scene he's going to have� I'm sorry to say, I don't have the Sam site upgrade for Alchemist yet. You got to wait like two levels for that. So we're going to have to wait. Yeah, my STCs are mining somewhere else. I got to bring them later. This dragon's about to hit us with the bombardment. All right. Sorry, sorry. There's a Zedek joke there somewhere, but I'm not going to take it. So that's an Alden Ross joke? Yeah, that's an Alden Ross thing. He's got a fully stocked cruiser in orbit. That's true. Unlike some people I know. Yeah, yeah. Unlike two characters of mine. So true. Yeah, I'm going to do what Oren did. I'm going to attempt a seek action. Just as he's saying to keep an eye out, Veena's going to lean around and just desperately try to locate where this thing is. Okay, give me a perception check. All right, it has been rolled. Yeah, you have to reveal it there. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry. Sorry. It doesn't give me the. If you see the pink button that just. There we go. Yeah, I got it. No, not for you. For everyone else. If everyone else, you see that pink button, just ignore that. Roll it manually on your sheet. All right. I'm sorry, Veena. Not quite enough. Not quite enough. Shit. I don't see it either. And then she's going to duck back behind the tree. Um. And remind me, I don't think I can. Can I use a stealth action? If you if you have, like, an action to stealth. Oh, yeah, I do have an action. I do. Yeah. Do it up. She's going to peek out, not see anything, and then duck back in poorly. Apparently. Oh, hi, Roland. Tonight. Remember to say the number. Uh, it's a twenty eight. Eight. Eight. Eight. Eight. Eight. Eight. Eight. Six. So not very good. All right, I guess that brings us to Rehua. Oh, can we really not see this thing at all? I would like to attempt another perception check. Find this creature. We're looking so hard. We're staring with our big eyes. So fucking hard. I spy with my big wet eyes, jackershit. What's it going to be? Well, it ain't gonna succeed. fuck no still a bit shy of the prize still a bit shy of the prize my friend i'm gonna hero point it i just we just need to know where this thing is yeah do it up hero point it plus 10 reroll the hero point there'll be a 16 additional plus 10 so 47 no you don't get the plus 10 oh right it's under 10 yes flat 10 37 sweet you can locate its space oh one sec that's not where i wanted to know where it was it's still invisible you can't see it yet it's flying 20 feet above uh so it's about five feet above orin orin feels it no this is it dragon looks at him he looks at it he's like someone depict the rot dragon wearing uh the goku fit the one where he's like dressed up in the supreme outfit oh god oh god oh god thurston if i aim a spell upwards can i avoid my teammates yeah you can arc it for sure okay cool i'm gonna do it that i'm gonna just see that oh oh my god he's balls duck and i'm gonna aim out and aim upwards and like goku shoot a laser from my hand radiant beam give me a concealment check sure it's still hidden from you that's true where's the flat 20 d20 yeah just yeah d20 deep oh no and away we go i'm glad because you said earlier you had some really good complications lined up so i'm excited for the second time to do some more yeah uh-oh oh god i'm flipping a coin for this one because one of these will just make our lives oh you can do a coin in this if you do uh 1d2 it'll flip a coin i know i can i like the tactile feeling okay i'm sorry with my hand i'm supposed to i'm especially thinking if other people can see it uh in the viewers oh that's true yeah i'll you know what i'm my desk somehow being clean is still a mess i'll just flip a coin oh good luck everybody else oh boy i hope it's not too i hope it's not too you can't thank god all right well no it's it's anarchy odo i have to go with whatever the fate tells me to and this is chaos can i propose god damn right can i propose something honky sure i feel it's more exciting for us to see what the result would be if you tell us the titles of the two complications you're considering and then flip the coin so do you want to flip and oh fuck yeah great good call good call good call good call good call good call good call good call good call so our two complications that we're going to possibly get are unleashed evil or you are going to brazil and who and who are they from those are from kora and makita respectively hell yeah so let's so what is what is one is yes yes one is you are going to brazil two is unleashed evil let's see it oh no roll it fate and see what we have are we going to brazil no we are not the complication again by kora is unleashed evil whoops whatever you did you inadvertently destroy the seal of something that imprisoned a malevolent entity perhaps it's a malicious genie aberration or some stranger force of malice when it breaks free it causes one harmful magical effect to those around it and then repeats this effect at the end of your next turn before it departs oh okay this dude's you want to click the complications thank you yes very sorry well it's obviously gonna emanate because you shot out a beam but it's gonna miss it's actually gonna uh tear a hole in reality and strike the corpse of the hobgoblin general um which is going to unleash the dark spirit of the hobgoblin general can i can i make a proposition thurston uh-huh can it be the temporal gnome instead he's back for his revenge fuck you know you know that's great i'm gonna allow that i'm gonna allow that because it's funny given the positioning of everything um i think it's still gonna fuck over orin specifically because that's just what we're doing i'm okay with it man um yeah so uh you know um orin if you could um or if you could give me a will save please um you can set sound effects and foundry i would like everyone to set them it's very fun okay um so i roll a nap one yeah uh would you like me to complicate it a little bit more if i chain it first or tell me what happens first yeah let's let's well let's complicate first because it might depend because the spell is gonna be pretty ball busting absolutely this is about to get really fucking stupid i'm i'm really oh i i have three of them here i have one called chaotic coinage from uh zenzan zanzan i think i butchered your name i'm sorry point blank annihilation from chaos not even once and cute puppy from platy mage i think oh yeah oh okay point blank annihilation either through a cataclysmic spell of mishap a fragile piece of technology going critical or some other unfortunate happenstance the character becomes the epicenter of a large explosion thurston thurston if i explode will it also get the dragon because it says a large explosion you cannot you can't turn a complication into a benefit to become a fireball the chat has written to the our benefactors have submitted the i turned into fireball ability and i will take you know what damage i i will make it sweet for you thurston you know why i will i will i will say i auto fail but i get fair okay i'll i'll allow this i'll allow this allow this you're gonna you're gonna take the full brunt of of the explosion yes sir okay that is my compromise oh boy you want to talk about compromise sorry sorry sorry this is where i go and it's a fireball of a week fireball of rot dragon oh it's a beautiful bat yeah fine you know what sure um oh my god let's let's see let's uh my 2d6 so okay yeah sure um you'll auto fail still roll me another d20 just in case you roll another one you want me as a save or a flat 20 just just flat okay dragon will critically succeed uh the dragon will definitely critically succeed i got a you however i got a on a flat 20 it's a 16 okay oh oh oran you will take 47 points of damage um who was your spell supposed to do that now wait wait wait that was that was the complication of oran failing something which we haven't got to yet brutal oran yeah you are now paralyzed for the next four rounds fuck Oh my god i i really like this i like what's happening here Orin's mom says please take care of my son ensure he does what he needs to do and then Orin just explodes like we didn't even do anything he just chose to do that my main goal is to blowup maybe the dragon will take pity on us Man this is embarrassing cut out for this are you so thirsty since you applied paralyzed to me i am 15 feet in the air let's talk about falling rules oh no yeah it's true because i would immediately fall okay it's very true you would um well unless you allow the strict thing which i i would say narratively it does not work here because strix auto gently fall all the time but i'm paralyzed i'm okay with it being disabled i want to clarify that because i know someone might bring that up so honestly i don't even really care here i'll give you an extra five points of damage we'll call it even steven and you're on ground level now all right i'll get that adjusted so you know i wasn't objecting by the way like no no no no no absolutely absolutely absolutely all right down paralyzed the end of each of your turns from now on you'll be able to uh to make a will save to try to get unparalyzed that was your second and third action if i recall correctly right that's correct thurston thanks for the help tan hauser ah okay we're gonna do two things i had a whole plan it was gonna be awesome i didn't think he was 20 feet away from us so uh plans i flew him around a bunch of places and then i was like you know he's almost ready that's pretty good i really like that okay here's what we're gonna do i am going to cast revealing light and uh i'm going to need that dragon to go ahead and make me a dc32 reflex save sure or else it shall merely be concealed okay well i guess it could perfectly succeed instead sure again well i'm not out of tricks yet and now i'm going to point my finger in the relative direction where i believe the dragon is uh-huh everyone do what you can right now i cast true target and i delve into the possible futures in the next few seconds to determine all the ways my foe might avoid harm i designate that creature each tar each uh first time each target makes an attack roll against that creature during true targets duration which is until the start of my next turn uh basically you get to ignore uh circumstance penalties to the attack role and any flat check required due to the creature being concealed or hit it's really good good spell thank you very good spell very good spell let's uh is there is there there a but is there a butt because you are targeting it and it has not been revealed to you in this case in this case like that is not how this spell works and the reason for that it's because it's a seventh level spell and this spell would be stupid if it didn't actually bypass that that's why it uses i believecamp was useful except in case of attack rolls stats died fast and I believe designate instead of target. Because you're not targeting. You're 100% correct. My bad. Yeah. No but. My bad. Good job. Thank you. For the next turn, we will be able to see that bastard. Do what you can to either immobilize it, stop it from moving, do your big attacks, whatever you think is appropriate. I pass the turn. Okay. Baldrick. So Thurston. I am behind this rock, right? But this thing is 20 feet in the air because this rock is precluding me from seeing anything past it. Yeah, you can see it from where you are. Let me hear what it's like. I'm gonna make this. Would you allow me to just target it? No, no, no. I'm just gonna make me fly. No. Forgive me. I have hiccups for some reason. I'm gonna mute myself. I don't forgive you. Do better. Does that allow you to see through it? That allows me to see through it, but I do not see the dragon despite being true targeted. No, you, you, you don't, uh, you shouldn't see the dragon from where you are. It's still invisible. I don't know if anybody is arrested for seeing it, but it's basically, uh, I can see it. I can see the invisible thing. Oh, wait. I, so, so my question, I guess Thurston is true target. Who is that allowing me to see it? Yeah, you don't take a hidden or anything else. So you can just go, okay. I would like to target it, but I can't target it. So, um, I'm going to try one other thing here. I'm going to destroy some of Zoran's precious work momentarily. Oh, no, it's fine. If it's in the way, I'll get rid of it. Now I can see it. Okay. Yep. There you go. Just, just blast it. I target that thing. Hmm. There. It is affected by like a good, good. We still have true target on that. Good. Okay. All right. Hold on a sec. Cause I'm going to have to think about what I'm going to actually throw it at this time. Let me think. Hang on. Circumstance penalties. Range penalty is not circumstance. Is it? Doesn't matter. It's within range, but I just want to know. Offhand. I think it's just a flat penalty. Got it. I don't think it has like a type to it. In any event, I am going to draw and throw a greater acid flask with sticky bomb active and hope that it works because I want to, yes, reminder. The one thing that this thing is immune to is acid. Ah, nevermind. In that case, I'm going to not use acid. I remember I wasn't there for that fight thirst. And you guys had that without me. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. That your allies would have talked to you. Yeah. We said Baldrick. It would be really funny if you used acid on it. Baldrick would do that. Wouldn't they? Anyway, I was starting to do a bit and it's gone now. Now I have to interrupt Erndal's turn. Oh, fuck. Do your turn. What? What? I'm hiccups. Continue. Okay. I'm getting stun luck. I'm just going to debilitating bomb. Fuck it. Not sticky bomb. Debilitating bomb. I have to remember what debilitating bomb does. I haven't used it in so long because I'm just DPS. But I want to see if it's going to be actually useful. Let me see. Debilitating bomb. I can choose dazzled, deafened, or off guard. Or a minus five foot status. Yeah, I'll make a minus five foot status. But we'll have to see if I hit him first. Go, my debilitating bomb. Ha! I rolled a 20 on one of those. Let's see here. Yeah, looks like you hit it. So, all right. One of those was a net 20, though. From what I could see. What was the... Because one of them looks like it was still rolling the hidden thing, which is just because. Hang on. Oh, hang on. Was the deep... Oh, for fuck's sake. The auto check was the one on the invisible that got the 20, and the other one was a 15. That sucks. Whatever. Yes. But you hit him. Yep. I'll do the damage real quick. Explosion does 25 plus 10. Good. Yep, you're set on fire. Now he has to do debilitating... Bomb. Trying to... Okay. Yeah. If you could make a DC 32 fortitude. Yeah. There you go. I'll put it in the button for you. I am a dragon. I roll a natural one. Okay. Yeah, yeah. The universe threw us exactly one. Count it. One bone this session. The problem... The problem is that doesn't necessarily make this worse. It just means he just gets the effect. I just like it. It's fun. It does feel good. You get... It feels nice. A dub is a dub, right? So, Thurston. That's a minus five foot status penalty to speeds. Okay. Hang on a second. So that... Does that apply to all movement or just on the ground? I don't know, because I'm pulling up your rules to look at them. Let me check. It just says minus five foot status penalty, and I wonder if that means... Oh, excuse me. Yeah. It says penalty two speeds. So, all of them. Clarification. This is a greater bomb. So, that's actually minus ten. Okay. Cool. Uh... Greater... Bomb... Oh. Um... Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Did you take greater debilitating bomb as a feat? Uh... No, I don't know what... so, this is the part that I'm perplexed on, because it's a greater bomb. That I'm throwing. But just having debilitating bomb is just, what... normal? Yeah. So... so, there's another class feat you can take for... Oh. Well, fuck it. I'll get this minus five, whatever. Yeah. Okay. Uh... It will take the penalty... and it will... Um, so, so remember, you can choose Dazzle, Defender, Off-Guard. Yeah, and I wanted to reduce its speed, because I don't want it to just flee with impunity. Sounds good. I will buy that. Okay. That was one move out of three possible ones. Yes. So let's see, I'm just gonna do some quick math here. So even with a 15, I was only hitting by one. Which means I need to hit a 20 if I want to hit it at all. Like a 19 or a 20. That, that's why I wonder is like, is Off-Guard the better choice to lower its AC? Like there's, there's options you have, right? I know there are options, but like how much is it lowering it by to be Off-Guard? Two? Eh. That's pretty good. And that's for everybody? Yeah. Why not? Go ahead. I'll change that from the Slow to the Off-Guard if you could, please. Yeah, totally. Got it. It's not gonna make my second attack any better of a choice, because that's like a 20% chance to hit, which is not good use of my limited resources. Is there anything else I can fucking do? Hmm. You can't, there's an action, uh, first off, do you want to, may I bring a suggestion? You want to, uh, hit yourself? I want to puzzle it up myself, please. Okay. That's why I asked. Yep. Appreciate it. Um. You know what? Thurston, I'm going to do something I haven't done in a bit. I'm going to use one of my versatile vials to create a cheetah's elixir, actually. Okay. And I'm going to quaff that real quick. Yeah. Okay. And I'm going to just drink that now. Okay. Uh, where did it go? There it is. Okay. Sorry, I lost it for a second. I'm just going to use this now, and that will be my turn. Okay. Do, what do you mean hidden invisible? Oh, I, because I'm targeting the dragon, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did I give it to the dragon on accident? You gave me that back. I think you did. You did, yeah. God damn it. We created one, and I'll drink another one. Fuck. I'll try that again. Okay. I was wondering why I had to, had to put down a dragon. Whatever. I now have a cheetah's elixir, and that's my turn. Okay. Well. I have a dragon that's gonna go now that's on fire, off guard, visible. And quickened, apparently. It's quickened, yeah. Look, it was having a fun day, okay? Okay. Okay, so you're in the mist. I want... I want... I want... That. I want... Sweet. Okay. Dragon goes. And first of all, it is no longer involved. It is no longer visible. This, however, is not a good thing. Speaker kind of gave you all the best of every world. Because now, each of you have to give me a DC 33 will save. Okay. As its frightful presence triggers. How can I be frightful if I'm paralyzed? Oh, you can be afraid and be paralyzed at the same time. Don't worry. Uh... Success. Uh, Auron. We can go top to bottom. I'll ask you guys what you rolled. Uh, Ar drag, what did Baldric roll? I rolled. A uh, 12 for thirty-one. Veena. I rolled a twenty seven. Uh, an eight. One more time, please. What? thank you uh Rahua rolled a 20 18 for a 42 and Oren succeeded with a 41 sweet so for those of you who failed it will have applied to the appropriate frightened status if you succeeded you are only frightened one if you failed you are frightened two if you had crit failed you would have been frightened um that's cool um that by the way was just it kind of coming out of um it's it's invisibility um coming out of his cage and he's doing just fine he is doing just fine and he's gonna move out there stop um sorry I gotta move just a little bit closer uh then I'm gonna target you Veena why would you do that here's I'm gonna finger of death you um so if you could just give me a fortitude safe yeah no I don't wanna do that it saw through your your paltry attempts at being stealthy as the Dragon wheels around oh that's really that's fine that's fine that's fine that's fine Oh, God, that would have been... I don't know if I can succeed. You're going to take 66 points of negative. And that's going to be the dragon's go. Oh, sorry. I actually have to move it a bit closer. It's 20 feet. I just need to count for that. Okay, cool. The rock dragon is above the tree blasting down. Oh, and it takes three points of fire damage and makes a check and recover from the fire damage. Bitch. Alright, Oren, at the end of your turn, you can attempt a will save. A will save? Oh, yeah! Ha! Oh, I saw that one. Oh, I saw it too. I'm going to hero point that 28. Yep. Try to get out of this the best I can. With a 16 for a total of 37. Okay, so that is going to be a success. So, on a success, you reduce the remaining duration by one round. So, you will now have two rounds left. And it was four total, right? It was four total. Okay. Yeah, I'll make sure I got it counted down too. Alright, that's my turn. I'll click the intern button for you. Alright, Veena. You're up. Okay. Owie. Scared. Um, it's revealed itself. My line of sight is not showing it. Uh, is it still 20 feet above? Yeah, it is. It is. I don't know. Walls are always like a weird ism here. I got it. Oop. Oop. There you go. Um. Hmm. And I have a question. How tall is the tree? Like, I don't know. A good 30 feet up, probably. Okay. I'm gonna use my- Are you wanting to climb the tree to attack it? Correct. I'm going to use my first action to nimbly scramble up the tree, jumping from foothold to foothold. Roll it, please. And trying to get at this thing. Uh, giving you acrobatics or athletics? Uh, let's do... athletics, because it's climb. Yeah. Oh, wait. I think... There's an action for it. Oh. Oh. Climbing. Okay. I will give you a 29. Ooh. Okay. Okay. um that's pretty good that's pretty good um so you're gonna climb up which is actually gonna be cool because it's gonna provoke its tail lash so uh it's gonna take a reactive strike as you climb up and smack you with its tail i feel no remorse because you knew it could do this from before hitting me i click you i hit you hitting me all right i hit normal hit at least i got hit yeah only for 27 points of damage okay could have been worse ouch yep and then you may you may continue now so we're up in the tree okay bastard on level with its face staring at you uh and i'm going to uh kind of faint uh as my next action is going to kind of weave as if she's going to move one direction and then step to a different branch and turn and i will give you a deception for fainting yeah please let me go to the page i'm so sorry my turns are so long no no no no you're fine your cpu is going like a mile a minute just burning itself this thing's getting warm oh that's not great but i do still get the panache it's a critical fail it's not you're good okay it's it's not a it's not a success though but yes but i will i will gain a temporary panache yep it's all i need there we go and then after faking out a couple of hits she's going to strike the right here and hit okay just barely thanks off guard thank you off guard thank you off guard call me an incredibly clutch thank you baldric yeah big sub big sub off guard that's more ones than i'd like to see oh that's not very good only 27 points of damage it'll actually take another 10 points because of mossy weapon oh nice yeah orton's on the ground yay no you're not you're paralyzed you do nothing no i know i'm on the ground don't try to part don't try to participate in this game when i've taken you're out of this game i want to play go back to producing okay i did the sound effects yeah vena's just keeping it nimble keeping it quick and just all right let's tango uh actively trying not to uh uh break down in tears because scary dragon's gonna die it's true uh you're frightened we'll go down by one though so that's good oh joy joy he is so so far away you do have hands this is the downside of splitting up sometimes yeah it do be what it is uh with respect to these dragons uh with respect to these dragons uh with respect to these dragons uh with respect to the dragons with respect to the dragons uh with respect to the dragons Well, knowledge on the dragon, because we did fight this thing before. Would we ostensibly know such... I don't know. I might be fishing in a very dry well right now. But wouldn't we know if it's particularly willful or fortuitous? Or am I going to give you a check for that, Thurston? It's a dragon. It's all of the above. Oh, okay. Like, dragons have particularly high in almost every save. And any magical effects they're saving against, they're probably even more resistant to. I see. I see. Yeah. Well, I suppose I should be kicking myself down this dusty old trail here. I'm going to just move on up about... 25. 25 feet. Back into the mist. And I can't... I would have just given you additional quickening, but that's not really going to do anything for me. So I'm just going to keep on moving, I suppose. Yeah, most I could... Like, I'm looking at all my spell lists right now and the ranges on all of them. Oh, yeah. I could definitely just sit back here and cast that. Vita's going to die, though. And at this point, it's not a price I'm willing to pay. So I'm going to keep moving. Go. 50 feet. I'm going to get a little bit closer to Orin. Come on. I'd react, but I'm producing right now. Oh, right after that. Yeah, sorry. I can't roleplay with you. You can't do anything. You can't play toys with me, dude. That's fucked up. Rahua becomes very fat suddenly and points at Orin. He doesn't do anything. He doesn't do anything. He doesn't do anything. That's... This is my chicken, boy. I brought him from home. As a vibe check, Thurston, it's not me being mad. I'm doing a bit. I know. I know. I'm well aware. No, Thurston, he's mad. He hates you. He's plotting against you. Spice him. Spice him now. Every turn he's mad at me is just... There's another round I add to paralyzed. No! Don't kill me, please! Add another debuff on him. Your producer lies to floor now. No! Persistent floor damage. All right, Tannhauser. You're a wizard. Yeah, I am a wizard, aren't I? All right. We're going to begin the wizarding. I am going to quicken this spell. And in lieu of other options, in lieu of grappling hook, I am actually going to... Oh, fuck. Where is it? Yes. Translocate. Yeah. For one action. And I'm going to translocate myself at the top of the cliff over here. I want a bird's-eye view. Okay. So that was for one action. Now I've got two actions. I see this fucking... I see dragon-dragon over here. He's about 60 feet down from you fighting an elf in a tree. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I am going to then... Wait. He's fighting an elf in a tree. Oh, never mind. I can't. Okay. So in that case, seeing him, I'm going to point at him. To the ground, worm! And I'm going to cast... Earthbind. And he's going to have to make me a DC 32 Fortitude save. Everyone, cross your fingers. All right. Also, could he target the dragons with the camera pins? Drum roll! Come on. Cross my fingers and my toes. He succeeds. He succeeds anyway. So he falls safely to the ground. Oh, no. Even though he succeeds, he's on the ground now. So he goes down 20 feet. Oop. Take that. Taste the pain. We drift him slowly down like a leaf. Well, actually, maybe that was the bad time to cast Earthbind, actually. All right. That's my turn. Okay. Awesome. Baldrick, you're up. Okay. Okay. All right, Thurston. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go into stealth again, if I can, if you will allow me, to roll for it. Yeah, for sure. But I got him on the ground and you're going to stealth? Yes, because... He's going to move next turn. I'm going to backstab him. Oh, okay. Well, remember, he's still off guard. Oh, no, he's not because of your debilitating bomb. How long does that last? Until the start of your next turn. So he's not... He's not off guard yet. So he's not off guard yet. All right. I'll tell you what. Because you talked me out of it once again, which you do often because you're a power. Thank you. What I'm going to do is I'm going to... Let me see. I can move 30 feet. And the question is... I'm just going to measure something here. So this is presently... How many feet away? This is... 90. So if I wanted to move... 30 feet closer. I have to go around the boulder, though. 15... 30. Does that put me close enough? This is an important question. It does, actually. That's still within 60. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to move, because of the cheetah's elixir, that distance. I'm going to throw a bomb at him and attempt to re-up my debilitating bomb on that guy and then I'm going to throw a bomb at him. And I'm going to... I'm going to draw and throw, quickly. I'm suffering a penalty because of Frightened. Add misses. Critical miss. You got a hero point. You got a hero point. I do. I'm questioning if I should use it or not, because these things don't come back as often as they used to in the early days of the show. Uh... Yeah, I'll use it. Why not? Or I'll re-roll it with the hero point. Go. That'll be a 20 for a critical hit. Yeah, there you go. Yeah! All right. I will accept this. I will accept this bread. Blow him the fuck up now. Let's see if we will blow him the food. Go my carbohydrates. That's awesome. Oh. That's awesome. One, two, and three for my fucking dice. That's awesome. Those are numbers in sequence. And they suck. They suck really bad. All right, I'm going to do a stealth roll now, Thurston. And he's also got the off-channel card on it again. There we go. My bad. One second. Wait, hang on. Right now, you have to roll for that. Why did it not mark debilitating on that this time? Um... I don't know, but I'll just... I'll roll it. Let's see here. Also, I need to... Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt. I'm trying to put on the debilitating bomb effect, because for some reason, that didn't mark it this time. It's all good. It failed its save with the penalty, so I've got the off-guard on it, and then you've hit it with this bomb. I was doing this great monologue of how you hit it, and it's writhing around because of the flames on its back, and it's off-guard. Terrific. There you go. I'm going to roll to stealth now, if I may. Absolutely. Let's give it a shot. That's a two. It maybe sees you, but it's got a lot of things on its mind, so whether or not it's going to go after you or not, who knows? That's all I'm hoping for. All right. That's the end of my turn. Next turn. Okay. A dragon. The day god. Dragon. All me. We're going to... Let's see. It's going to lay down and die? No. As a free action and die? Never should have come here. Why don't you lie down and bleed to death? I am always saying this. I'll never forget it. I'll never remember it. I'll never see it. I've already forgotten. I'll never know. I'll never blow. I'll never zoe. I'll never show. It's much better. Okay. One sec. Dragon is going to spend its first action moving. It's going to fly over to here. It will land. It will produce a breath weapon as it lands in front of you, Baldrick. After your bomb hits it, it kind of locks over, flies around, lands, and opens its mouth, expelling a torrent of rotten matter that is going to strike you, the paralyzed Orin, and Rahua. Put this in chat for you. You're going to need a really awful reflex save. Actually, that should be 35. That should be 35. Ignore that. There's no reality. You can roll it, and we'll just do it. Well, I just lost it because of this. Let me try that again. That's fine. 15 gives me a 35. Okay. It says I failed. That's because it says it was 37. Yeah. Yeah. That'll be a success for you. That will be a critical fail for Rahua. Hey, Thurston. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get to you, Orin. I'm looking at the rules of Paralyze to see if it affects this or not, so you can deal with him first. I don't say that in a mean way. I say that as in, like, you know, give me time. Yeah, for sure. For sure. For sure. You want a pity point, Rahua? You want pity? I would quite like to go to Brazil. Yeah. Yeah. Let's send you to Brazil. Let's send you to Brazil. Let's go to Brazil. It's time to go to Rio. Read the post-Brazil for everybody. I've got to get the compendium up two seconds while I open it. Top left, Hoki, if you click the person icon up there, that should have a skull icon that it brings up as well. Click that, and then click the complication. It'll show up in chat, and then you can read it. Perfect. Thank you. Close that down. This complication from Makita is called You Are Growing to Brazil. It appears that the time space is ripped apart, taking you to a land of sunny beaches and beautiful views of nature. It's so good that you don't want to go back to where you was. You go back after what looks like weeks to you, but seconds to reality. You want to go back to the Brazilian lands. I'm going to Brazil. I've decided that this fight sucks. The universe says that I need a vacation. I've done nothing. He needs to resurrect Mit-Aya and open a portal to Hellanthus. He needs to resurrect Mit-Aya and open a portal to Hellanthus. He needs to resurrect Mit-Aya and open a portal to Hellanthus. Hulky disappears from reality. Reroll your save, Hulky. Okay. Oh! Nat 20. Yay! Vacation, baby! Here's how the complication works. You're spending your entire next turn in Brazil. That's okay. You took a little vacation. I'm taking a wonderful little vacation. I wanna go to Brazil. So, you're hanging out in Rio with Arnold. So, is Brazil in the world of time a lovely place? No, you are going to the planet Earth and to Brazil. Time and space are ripped apart. Rahuah is in Brazil right now. Wait, wait. What you're telling me is, is Rahuah has an entire 80s movie where the first act was just, like, us fighting that dragon. And, like, they got 15 minutes in the medieval setting. So then he gets teleported to California for the first time. Or Brazil, or wherever, to interact with all the people in the 80s who then help him get home. And at the last second, he has a tearful moment where he goes, I don't wanna leave! But then he has to to go save his friends from the dragon. Is that what happens? That's right. We're watching Smack and Me, but it's in Brazil. Yeah. Who's the kid in the wheelchair getting pushed off the cliff? Does he learn Portuguese? Yes. Well, fuck off! You don't even get teleported to somewhere or some space in time. You don't just learn fucking new languages. That's not how this works. Well, but Thurston, but Thurston, it was a nat 20 on the save. And I could be gone for possibly months or years. You know, Thurston, may I step in on this one? I'll cover your back for this. Don't worry. Yeah. Then, Hulky, the nat 20 means you critically succeed the check for it. But when you go to Brazil, you get an Irish coffee. Wow. And that's how it came to time. That's right. I'm tying it all back together. I'm saving Thurston's ass here. Because we keep referencing things in Earth, and it comes here. Brazil is a beautiful nation. Brazil is a beautiful nation. Good job, Thurio. So I still have to roll. Sure do. Yeah. Yeah. Sure do. Being paralyzed does not affect this anyway. I'm just flat forever. You're off guard. So you take the off guard. Yeah. Well, that's just for AC, really. Do a basic reflex, and that's a kill. Hey, Thurston. Oh, we're all getting pity today. We're all getting pity today. Got some of those points left? Yeah. How we doing? How we doing there? Let's take a look at the overlay. I will leave this up to you. May or may I not take a point from you? Oh, I'll give you a point. You desperately will want it. Yeah. Okay. I'll mark you down. Let me do it. Let me see what the new result is. It's still just a failure for 32. It's a failure. It's not a failure. Yeah. Let me toggle this thing. Let me. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Oh, there's three of them. Obviously, because we picked three. Okay. I'm thinking of this one. Chaotic Coinage. I'll just... I haven't read the whole thing. We'll try it. Chaotic Coinage from... Let me see if I can get your name right. Zenzanagi. I think I got it right. Chaotic Coinage. Your character has found a coin. A curse coin? A coin you may feel compelled to keep. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. A curse coin. Now you feel compelled to keep or give it to another to flip? After being flipped the coin bursts into a small shower of chocolate coins waiting to be potentially found again. Hold or flip a coin or roll a dice and call heads or tails. If you called it right, you get one additional gold piece plus chocolate coins. If you called it wrong, you get nothing but chocolate. Thurston, since it's just chocolate coins, if you wish to add a debilitating effect or let's add some more. fun to it with the coin flip, I'm good to work. If I could propose an upside, would you propose a downside? I'm going to propose roll the dice. Call it heads or tails. That's not fun. We have to know what the stakes are before we flip. The stakes are very important because no matter what you get, you can't act because you're still paralyzed. There could be a bunch of chocolate or coins that are in front of you temporarily, but you won't get them because you're paralyzed. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying is they're just chocolate coins. You want me to make you suffer more? I'm literally saying because it's just chocolate coins of an item. It's not much of a complication that affects us, so that's why I'm proposing to you. Hey, you want to propose something bad if I fail the flip, but if I win the flip, I get something. Yeah, you know what? If you get it wrong, I'm adding one round of paralyzed to you. Okay, it's for the opposite. If I get the flip, I'm no longer paralyzed. No, you just get one additional gold coin. That's an even trade, Zoran. Yeah, it is. I used to sell cards, and I know what a fucking sucker looks like. That's a really good trade. I don't know, man. You know, most complications we've done don't give you 50-50 odds. No, but this person did a whole thing to do, like, a coin flip. Yeah, and I'm honoring it by letting you get the additional gold piece and chocolate coins that you're promised. You're the one who came in here like the Kool-Aid man being make-me-suffer-if-I-go-back, so this is what I'm doing. I am making it entertaining. Chat, is mine better or is Thurston's? Oh, my God. I'm putting it to them. Jesus. Damn. Jesus. Putting it to them now. Custody battle. Wow. Custody battle over chat. Wow. This dragon... That's one pity point. Dragons bring out the worst in us. They do. No, they're on Thurston's side. I lose. Is Thurston the Disneyland parent of Chat? They want me to suffer. Chat, Chat, checks in the mail. Checks in the mail. What does the chocolate coin do? Anything? It's nestled around one gold piece. All right, man. The interesting thing about that is it actually would have done something, but you're paralyzed. You can't get it. I don't know. This bit sucks. You suck. I would like to care. i would like to continue we're getting there man don't need to rush us let us have a i just had i'm not russian but we did just kind of stun lock over a complication over whose would have been better or worse i got you we're getting to it no words i got you uh so i'll do roll one d two and uh i will declare one if it's on a one then i get my coin yeah let's see if i do let's see if i see if i lose yeah it's a one yippee yay your eyes like be down looking at the at the at the chocolate coins and the one additional coin staring at it motivating you to stay to say you're still going to take uh failed so let me roll that for you involved oh man no see see i was trying to do it thank you speaker thank you speaker you're welcome guys both of you take 66 points of damage probably enough is the same amount that the finger of death did to vina appropriate uh doing similar numbers across the board you know you're doing similar numbers across the board you know you're doing similar numbers across the board you know you're doing similar numbers across the board you know you're doing similar numbers across the board this is evil as you are uh but but you all see rahua just vanish out of existence john oh sorry sorry i should not have ended my turn i forgot something very important um i'll i'll i'll let me it takes the damage i'll make the recovery test now but it has one action left because it's hasted uh it's still on fire so that's fine uh with its third action it's uh well it's hasted action it's gonna take a strike on you baldrick okay i'm just gonna try to eat you with jaws critically hit me apparently oh uh that should not be uh one second that's what his back looks like no it is not a sorry it shouldn't be a crit that the math was wrong on that attack my bad um and then i will roll the damage let's just make it damage as it hits you with its jaws you are taking some persistent rot as it bites into your side baldrick and you feel a seeping wound with black pustules start to form and ooze around as you are already coated in this uh we go to orin now orin you can give me a save up yippee was it we'll save before i forget yep we'll say thank you thank you 14 on the die for a total of 35. that will reduce it by another round which will go with around this turn so you'll be free to act next turn yay okay in my turn vena yeah you do it yeah vena yeah okie dokie so he is all the the way over there um and you're up in a tree and i'm up in a tree and you're up in a tree and i'm up in a tree and you're up in a tree cool first action uh well how high is this rock like five feet ish okay so i will still take fall damage if i jump onto it i mean you could do an acrobatics check as you jump to kind of lessen it and then not take damage really i would love to do that i would love to jump off this tree with a stupid backflip um yeah i would love to jump off this tree with a stupid backflip um yeah yeah yeah yeah Because that is my shtick. Flippy! Ugh. Well, I will still give you a 31. Yeah, that's fine. You can acrobatics with that. No problem. All right, um, so where will that get me? Like, if I were to jump here? Yeah, down, and now you're down 20 feet, so you're like, well, you're five feet up. I'll just remove that because it's kind of flush. All right, first action jump there. Second action. I'm assuming this tree is also 30 feet. Yeah, about the same. I want to take a running jump into that tree. Okay. Using the momentum from jumping out of the first one, just kind of bounding around. Do it. Another acrobatics? Yeah, I'll say acrobatics in this case. Oh, I'm fast as fuck. Not really, but that's a 32. Place yourself. All right, and so that'll be... You want to be adjacent to it, I'm guessing? Yep. Okay, cool. So, Veena, I don't want to say you... Am I going to take another? Yeah, you're getting a tail. I did this to myself. Yep, yep. You did this to yourself. I'm a melee player. I can't even have... I really can't have sympathy for you as it's like... No, no. Hit me with it. Hit me. All right. I'm hitting you with the tail. I want you to hit me with the tail. Okay. Phew. I almost didn't get crit. Oh, my God. That's 26 points of damage to you, Veena, as you were smacked by the tail. Yeah. Yeah. This thing... This thing smacks you as you are gracefully jumping. It doesn't cause you... You realize that, like, if the numbers were closer, it might have caused you to fail and fall. So, yeah. Whip me out of the air and send me tumbling off the cliff. That would have been a really funny way for Veena to die. I'm not going to lie. Oh, yeah. The knight is still young. True. Very true. So, Thurston, does all of... Do all of those acrobatics give me any panache? Or do we... We're doing cool and flashy things to get over here. Yeah. I'll say the jumping and taking the hit gives you panache. Beautiful. I very coolly and swashbuckly take a tail to the face. And now I'm going to swing. Mm-hmm. Phew. Oh. Well, there we go. Whoa. Okay. There we go. There's the 20, baby. Okay. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. The tail hits you, but you keep going right into the eye. Yeah. Well, let's see what the damage looks like. She's damage searching, surfing like TF2 soldier. All right. Let's see that damage. 75. I'll save the rune save, but I will take 75 points of damage. That's a lot. Yeah. So, Veena just comes back. Because you pierced this thing. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. i want to i want to expand based off what a co-worker sent me um based on this um they've suggested that instead of just being temporarily in brazil we treat it like that episode of star trek where picard kind of lives that whole other life and then like at the end of it goes back to the enterprise like nothing has happened so i'll allow this and i will allow you to add portuguese to your list of dope nobody knows what happened and and and there's yeah no nobody knows what happens but i do need for the remainder of the campaign for you to occasionally not overdo it but just bring up like like like memories of your time in brazil like you know family guy like this is like that time in brazil when um can you do that for me elki crow you absolutely absolutely thirst him 100 awesome all right thank you for that tanhasser you're up all right we're gonna do something kind of silly all right hold on yeah that's good enough um hold on let me actually check is that good enough yeah it's good enough i am going to uh spend one action and cast a jump and i am going to jump to oh wait you just measured that that was okay fuck okay it's all over there's one more uh boy i don't want to spend another action to do this shit okay uh being 80 feet up is not the advantage that i thought it was uh this the situation has evolved i have trends ? seven men have jumped into my stomach? Yeah, the situation has evolved. Oh, fucking bless you, speaker. So to that end, I am going to... Oh, God. Let's see. So jump is just 30 feet. And a solid ground within 30 feet of me. Well, I guess I'd have to jump over here then. So I think... Why even cast it? I'm not going to cast jump. That's not going to help me. All right. New plan. Okay, new plan. Old plan gone. New plan. Old plan gone. I'm locked in for the new plan. I am so locked in for a new plan here. Yeah, yeah. You better be. All right. Look, this new plan is going to be so great that cuts... Back to some seed of Ruhu in Brazil for five minutes. Absolutely. Cut back. All right. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to create... You know what Tanezu is really good at making? Cachaca. Walls! And we are going to continue trying to create a zone where it is difficult for this dragon to fly around in. You want to put him in the cup cage? I do. However, he is very far away. He has not been flying very much. And the battle has evolved very far away from my range, which is very sad. So I'm going to create a 50-foot long and 20-foot high wall here. Let me not trigger complication. So how wide is it? It is... How wide is this wall? Which wall? Well... The wall of force. Well, it's an invisible... So it's not... It doesn't have like a thickness is my understanding because it's just a wall. It's like a thin line. Okay. Because it's... Yeah. It's not like a wall in the tree. It's basically like... Yeah, it doesn't... It doesn't... It's not squares like other walls. It's a line, essentially. Okay. Imagine if you drew a line on the lines of the grid. That's where the wall will be. Yeah. So if you want to make a thickness... Yeah. The long will have to go up, turn, up, turn, up, and do all that. Here. I'm going to make that wall there. And I'm going to have it to be... I get to make it 30 feet. So it's going to be 30 feet down. And once it gets to here... Sorry. This position, it's going to begin declining until it gets to the top of that tree. Oh. Oh, my fucking God. You're going to make yourself a little skate down thing? Yeah, I sure am. Kind of yabba dabba do it. Also... Oh, my God. It is a ramp that I'm going to inform. Vito, behind you I've made a ramp in case of an escape. I'm coming for. I'm going to call that out. And... This is the most, like, fucking bodged wizard plan I've seen. And I fucking love it. Like, literally. You're like, haha, I've teleported to a tactical... Fuck, the battle's changed. Um, fuck, I don't have another tele... Fucking wall ramp. Okay, good. We're back in it, everybody. Well, it's like you're playing Worms Are We Getting right now. So my plan has completely... Oh, fuck, it's so good. My plan has kind of completely gone up in smoke a little bit, at least right now. So I will tell you what my plan was. I have some fucking incredibly nasty booby trap spells on me. I know you do. And... I know. My plan was... If this dragon was more airbound, I would be booby trapping all of this space and trying to keep the fight within this radius. So it's... And the only reason it did what it did was because, like, there were three people in template formation. Yeah, so... Exactly. So it's just, like, by happenstance, it all went up in smoke. Maybe it'll still happen, maybe it won't. But for my turn... I believe in you. That was three actions. Good luck, everybody. You have a ramp. Pass turn. Three actions. You have a ramp. Baldrick, you're up. All right. Um... So, despite my best efforts to remain not the target of this thing, I seem to be being targeted. So... What I'm gonna... If I disengage from this, is it gonna try and hit me? It's already used its reaction to hit Veena with the tail slap. Okay. In that case, I'm going back behind the fucking rock. I'm going back behind the rock. And I'm going to, once again, throw a bomb at it to attempt to debilitate it once again. Sure. Da-da-da-da... Debilitating... Throw my alchemy... Go. That's another critical hit. There we go! Damn! Okay! DPS is DPS. Yippee! Sure, uh, sure. We are doing the DPS. Uh, let me do that critical damage. Please don't just be tiny numbers again. I'll cry. That's our two minute burst window. Okay. That's a lot better. That's 50 damage. Nice! Compared to last round's 26. Very good. Okay. Could you make me the, uh, DC 30 Fortitude, please? Uh, thither. Yes. He'll pass. Yes. With a 12 to a 40. Uh... And I'm going to, once again, try to duck out of sight with a stealth. Because I really cannot be hit like this. I don't have the health for it. Fuck! It's a two again! 23. I got nothing. That's the best I got, man. Huh! Oh, and I take some pretty persistent damage. Uh, let me just recover from that. Wait. I can't recover from that. The rot seeps. Yeah, you can. It should be. Make recovery check. Oh, there it is. Just go above. You are still rotten. 13 fail. 13 fail. Okay. Okay. Dragon time. Yeah. Dragon time. All right, Veena. Okie dokie. Playtime's over. Well, don't do that. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, wow. That's going to open up with a Jaws attack on you. Ow. That's a Gat 20. All right. Well, guys, it was good. It was nice knowing you. It's time for me to take a big nap. That's a point, Oda. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Great having you. Wow. That was terrible damage. So you're actually still going to be alive. About 66 points of damage, yeah. It did 66 again. It's a 16. All right. It's a six. All right. sign it did that's a better band we're at two six six sixes right now well um mina that's gonna do that it's gonna take a second attack it's gonna use um it's gonna use one of its claws to swipe at you it's gonna hit you with that it's gonna casually swipe you for another 27 points of damage and i'm down put you at dying one yeah down night night um then that was its second action oh boy its next action is to fly over here uh oh and for its free strike it gets from haste it will take a map minus eight on baldric with a claw okay that'll fucking hit me god damn it and it will hit he's dpsing back it's a lot of damage decent damage it's gonna do 31 as it flies over to you claws at you baldric uh vina you've fallen from the tree i mean you were on the ground already but you've you've now like collapsed on the ground by the base of the tree the dragon kind of rushes over to where baldric is and takes a whooshing swipe uh with its claw causing a terrible gashy wound um that is its go uh it will take six points of fire damage and make a recovery check to try to get rid of the ongoing fire it's still on fire it's roaring it's against you baldric but orin you're still on fire but orin you are now free to act what do you do i'm pissing myself that's a good uh that's a reaction yeah i have reach spell don't i i'd like to shit as a reaction are you trying to pw your length i do apologize for being silent here uh the plan was to do respel to forget that's a whole another character i don't know what's going on right now uh the plan was to do respel to forget that's a whole another character uh the plan was to do respel to forget that's a whole another character uh orin if you'reؤ if you're a little queer probably give a 50 or 60 extra let's get a full month of respel of which means you get both even in terms of lit all the way versus tr guild orin um that's the mushrooms something something um who's that it's just love well i haven't whatever i should be considered prone uh no one would be paralyzed no one would be frightened and so he's been action oh stand up second action he is going to uh use his wings oh good i can do it all in one thing uh wings to swish over to vena okay i got you miss vena and he shall treat wounds not do risky surgeries so i don't give you another dying value he just kills me on the operating table yeah because if i do any damage to you it will like it does that first you go down dying value you bring bot back up and it's like oh dear that's right that's right let's see how i do with battlefield medicine i succeed uh i'm sorry i'm getting a call for 46 oh yeah oh thanks buddy he's like i got you miss vena don't worry are you unfortunately okay you're not paralyzed anymore uh well yeah thankfully i was able to shrug it off but i have some bad news miss vena yeah it's the end of my turn is for who's rahua you rematerialize with a kyperinia in hand yeah yeah kyperinia yeah oh oh there's a dragon there that's pretty cool how was that before so how's oh did rahua have like a family in brazil in a week like like did you like adopt a family no we're doing the whole picard skit so did like you have like a whole like adopted family that you've now left behind i was i was about to say he went to brazil i guess as we established it's both a bit of picard a bit of mac and me and a little bit of brazil fair enough fair enough so more like a family adopted me as a kind of family type deal where they remembered me i helped them like through their own struggles maybe there was some kind of message maybe i fell out of a building oh god was it like is it kind of like quantum leap like you're at like the like the youngest child's graduation and like the single tiers like that's goes down your eye as you, like, fade out of existence and return to this hellhole fight. Yep. Good. Perfect. Awesome. I remember them fondly. Yeah. They got that diploma. You were so proud. I was so proud of them. They did. They got the highest marks. Oh, right. My friends. Chat, don't pull this game of if Rue had enough time to learn Portuguese, did he get a long rest? No. You don't get to play that game. But they got a point. It wouldn't. But anyway, he didn't take any damage. He hasn't done anything. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That is true. That's entirely true. Now just say he gets a long rest. What's he gonna recover? A single spell slot? It could matter. It could matter. It could matter. It could very well matter. What matters right now is please stop this thing from killing me. That I can do. Thank you. Wait, hold on. Let me double check that. Check your math first. Ooh. So I got good news and I got bad news for you, Mr. Weathers. Yeah. The good news is that I can put myself in harm's way. The bad news, of course, is that I can't I can't heal you with that range, no matter what I do. Just just try not to give it an easy breath weapon to use on our friends, I guess. Oh, wait, double check it real quick. That 25 feet of movement didn't happen. Yeah, because because if you interpose yourself like that, I'm pretty sure it's just going to breath weapon the all three of you at once and make you explode. Yeah, that would be if you know, it depends what its recharge was. May I present a suggestion, Hokey? Yeah, sure. If you go the southern way of the rocks, there's still the miss. That is entirely true because I'm seeing this like, you know what? And so, you know, this will kill. Here is that our two people, this is not blocked off here. You can go through here where you were here. You can just go here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's all 80 feet up. Yeah. Yeah. That's just 80 feet to tell the wall is 80 feet up. I see. I see. I see. And you have four things movement with your haste. So, oh, you're right. I forgot. I was wait. There's that still apply in this universe to still get to our, do I have all my pops? Well, you didn't get the long rest. So I'll let you keep the haste. You know what? Thurston see chat, see chat. This is it. This is why I was right. No, it would have been, it would have been hasted from the capperine. Yeah. It's a, yeah, it's a different haste effect. It's the natural haste effect that exists in Brazil. That's right. All Brazilians get an additional action that they can use to either stride or attack all Brazilians can circle strafe. Yeah, that's what we could, you know, my host family, which became my real second family. I can't tell you this in character because this is something I will take to my grave. Probably. Uh, this is what we call the better horizontal haste move. I get a free haste just for being there. And because I did, Baldrick doesn't get to die immediately. Uh, I'm going to cast a two action heal with my reigning two actions to stop him from dying immediately. I appreciate that you come back from Brazil, do the better horizontal movement and then heal Baldrick because your adopted family gave you this important life lesson. They were watching. They were watching. You're the best. Nice. Hey Zoran. Nice. I got a question. You get 69 health. Big boy. Thank you. That will help me greatly when it decides to attack me seven times. Zoran, I have a question. Do we have a demographics for how many people watch the stream from Brazil? Uh, I can find out on stream specifically, but I'll go through our YouTube thing and find out. I'm about to say, because there's a non-zero chance that the family that Rahua ended up rooming with is one of our viewers. Yeah. Yeah. Terrific. Yeah. Let's see. If you subscribe to the Patreon, Rahua might appear in your home. Only if you live in Brazil. Point my finger, your house. Jesus. All right. Is that it Rahua? I love the art that Jurz posted. Oh no. Send him to Brazil. It's beautiful. Send him to Brazil. Send him to Brazil. Send him to Brazil. Get off. Oh, my daddy. See ya. That is all of my actions. It is all I can do. That art is fucking amazing. Thank you, Jurz. All right. Um, end your turn. Give us Tannhauser. Tannhauser, are you going down the slide? I've ended my turn. There he is. Yeah, I'm going to slide down the slide. Oh my God. For one action. Do you make the sound when you say, oh, my God. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Do you make the sound, do you like, do or say anything as you go down the slide? Yeah, sure I do. I absolutely do. 100%. I'm sorry. Do your thing first. I'll take it instead. Yeah. The sound I make is I summon the power. Go. And I cast Pollen Pods. Pollen Pods, not Olin. Pollen Pods. Pollen Pods. That's where you're going next. That's right! You're summoning Peronkeys! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I think your trip to Earth was in vain, Rahua. I have brought you pierogies and bober kurwa. Bober kurwa! He saws alasna! Let's go and play The Witcher 3. Can we play Cyberpunk 2077? I like that setting better. No. Okay. I do too, honestly. Okay. So, we're going to create some pollen pods. You did it again. I did it again. That's what it is now. Change the name of the spell. In a pollen pod. Yeah, in a pod. In a flushing white red. Twice in a row has got to mean something, man. Oh, my inner Polish pride swells. My inner bober. My inner bober. All right. Now that I've completely ruined all my momentum. Fuck. Okay. Now I need to find a way to... I'm going to mark some five... Some squares. Pollen pods, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, there's one here. Where? You can mark them yourself if you want. I can? Yeah, you can mark them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just put a square with the template. Oh, yeah, yeah. Put a square using the measurement. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, one pollen pod. Two pollen pod. Actually, I'm going to move it under here. Where's the... Oh, there. Okay. Yeah. Three... Oh, they need to be 20 feet apart. Yeah. So, are those two 20 feet apart? Yep. These ones are. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Yep. These ones are. Okay. Cool. Three pollen pod. Yep. And then lastly, this is going to be odd, but I'm going to put this one up 80 feet on the... On this side of the wall that I made. Right? Okay. So, it's an aerial pollen pod. Question, speaker. Yes. The one square that you put right by the dragon here, did you want that to be on it or... Because right now it's adjacent to it. Yes. It is adjacent to it. Okay. I wanted it to be there as an option for one of us to attack. If anyone attacks these pollen pods, they explode into 15 foot emanations of poison. Gotcha. So, it's your intent to get Baldrick in that? Oh, well, of course. I'm trying to kill Baldrick. Mm-hmm. Also, because they're not active yet. It's an option that we have. Baldrick will probably be caught in it. I knew when I got the spell, there's probably going to be some amount of friendly fire. However, if this thing moves in any direction, at least one pollen pod is going to explode. So, I've created a deadly web for it. I will then pass the turn. I will also allow you guys to know that if any of you do any damage to these pollen pods, such as the one over here... Oh, my bad. Oh, well, that's just there now, I guess. I got it. They will explode. If anyone does any damage... Additionally, if anyone goes adjacent to them, don't get close. All right. All right. That's my turn. Baldrick, you're up. If you drop a bomb and run, you'll probably make something funny happen. So, here's the thing. Baldrick runs right into it. I can't go adjacent to them. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. you want that to happen because then it's going to hit me you could get away here's here's the funny thing here's the funny thing is you could clamber over the rocks toss a bomb and hit the dragon and then the splash damage would actually hit this i know my my concern is succeeding at the clamber but i'll i'll i'll have to give it a shot so it's all i have i wouldn't even say it's not even an athletics check it's just like difficult ground so you're just having just difficult having your move i thought you were gonna make me climb that because it was a bowl of your nope okay well in that case i'll just i'll just go over yeah just double move that's all i go there one move all right i'll throw a bomb at it now yeah it i thought i was gonna have to climb that because it seemed like a pretty tall boulder i think you're still in range of it from there though am i you might need to go another five feet because how big is the radius yeah so you're in it right now yeah yeah you're in it right now how about there yeah you're good you're good okay that's still only one move because i'm got a 30 foot movement because of the cheetah elixir so let's do this again let's play this let's play alchemist fire debilitating bomb uh poker that'll hit on a 12. okay all right roll uh roll damage and i'll do the fortitude save six four and three for 25 damage on the target make the save it will succeed 25 then the pollen pod will detonate and then i will come up here and make the fortitude save a pollen pod how hang on so that's now why is it doing you nominate a square so you can just nominate a square no no no okay there we go okay so that's 10 feet away that's 20. what is my radius on this again so it succeeds it will take adjacent because it's a splash so no i'm referring to my bombs because i'm trying to remember how far my blast is it says you increase the splash on your bombs to damage creatures within 10 feet or 15 feet if you have expanded splash okay expanded splash doesn't catch this then because it would be excuse me yeah you need yeah actually yeah thurston question this this dragon takes up these nine squares right yes when i'm throwing a bomb at it do i have to target the central point yes you so when you are targeting it in this case because how splash works is you're not really targeting like a square on it you are targeting it and the splash gives you an area all right so it comes from the central of the thing man yeah exactly okay they're gonna try yeah that's why you can get the one that's adjacent and then expanded splash lets you which you have lets you affect all creatures within 10 feet of it instead of five feet so you'll charge your bailey with a ran flights and you'll sell that if you have to do so feet which is just out because you need an extra five to hit this one that's the one i was looking at was the one to the top but you will get this one it will succeed the it will succeed the the save on the pollen pod so um speaker can you roll me 8d8 oh sure i could just roll damage right here yeah sweet roll it it will take wow that was jesus that's really good uh it'll take half of that and it is dazzled it's weak now's our chance you've clambered over the rocks you've thrown a bomb i'm thinking about what i want to do next if anything if you have a chance to do that if you have another bomb there's another pollen pod right there i do but that would require me to effectively miss it would that still hit so it's within if you target the odd did the dragon take the initial alchemist fire damage only see the splash i don't even actually don't even see that i even see it it definitely took it it just like yeah it says it says right above persistent oh i'm sorry i'm sorry it succeeded yeah yeah right yeah uh you know what yeah thurston i'm gonna actually take a shot at the pollen pod to blow it up because i'm assuming that has a radius of 15 right yep yeah basically um so it doesn't have oh no it does it has an ac of five make an attack roll if you want you could target the one over here so that way vina could potentially shoot this one uh that's not a bad idea depending on what this thing chooses to do after that you know what i'll do that it's not like it's gonna back up and do it anyway i got up so you said a dc5 ac5 yep ac5 so i'll just roll i'm gonna throw just a regular versatile vial because i don't think it matters what hits it yeah it doesn't have it doesn't have any hit points so yeah ah i roll a nine that's still gonna hit um it's really you just needed a one so that'll detonate it the question that is on everyone's mind is can this thing crit say let's find out no no no so roll roll roll damage and it'll take half oh not not me tanhouser right yeah tanhouser rolls it good roll oh very nice 40. as the second pod explodes a verdant blast of energy goes out this public poisonous matter that coats the back of this draconic being which roils kind of like begins to collapse in on itself the like the sounds of almost muckish water as its wings try to flap but one of the wings actually flaps into the ground and splashes on impact the body rears up but one of its legs gives out it falls head embedding itself in the snow and as it tries to bring out again its body is still on fire you see it dissolve into a pile of muck and with that the dragon is defeated all of you have a moment to catch your breath and look around and just beyond the sort of wall here uh where you saw the lever further just off the southeast oran you can see around the
