Norse Sinnoh E17: I Cast Bone Tsunami! · The Multiverse Collective

0:00
I mean, what's it called? Siege the tower.
0:02
As well, I genuinely don't remember anything that happened.
0:08
I don't think you were there for any.
0:09
She was, she was the no, she was the second recording.
0:12
Because this is all. This is all post BS stuff.
0:14
I was not there for the because. That's the one where she, that's
0:17
the one where we have my eyes say yes, but my heart says no.
0:21
Whatever it's called, it's when we see the the garden ball with
0:25
the WhatsApp chat. I see a.
0:28
Delayed. Memory of that, but I remember
0:30
none of the context. Oh my God, I should have
0:32
listened to some of this today. It was on my To Do List.
0:37
I was like, please don't sexualize, please don't
0:40
sexualize my generals. And what did you guys do?
0:48
Definitely. It was definitely sexualized,
0:51
the general. It was all because Riley went.
0:53
I'll be hot. That sounds like something I
0:57
would say. Just because I have no memory of
1:02
this happening doesn't mean it didn't happen.
1:05
That's very on brand. These adventurers, I am told by
1:11
Mistress. We know now that they are our
1:14
only hope for Arborea. Yet they walk into the war room
1:20
and start staring at me. Specifically me.
1:24
I don't like it. I feel uncomfortable.
1:29
In any case, we sent them on to do as much damage as possible
1:34
before the onslaught. They seem to be capable enough,
1:39
but there is still some part of me that yearns never to see them
1:44
again. They had they had gotten back
2:25
from their couple of missions to to kind of break up some of the
2:30
some of the forces of the of the shadow Pokémon led by the
2:35
corrupted shadow Lugia and we find Gynan, Brutus and Clyde
2:41
back in the war room of the world tree with there's there's
2:45
Phoebe, there's Winona and there's surge.
2:20
All right, so we find our heroes.
2:24
Music They are the legendary warriors
2:50
of Shadow Fell, Arborea, and the Material Plane respectively, who
2:55
have all come to the aid of Winona as well as a number of
3:00
Pokémon Generals, those being Ryperior Bay, Arctic Scarmory,
3:05
de Dunsparse, Kingdra, and a Glade that is uncomfortable.
3:11
When you walk back in there just kind of scoots over in the in
3:19
like the wooded chair that it's sitting in.
3:21
And as you're able to look out again, it's this massive tree on
3:25
the top of a mountain, and as you look out you see the sun low
3:29
on the horizon, and off in that direction you see a horde of
3:34
Pokémon flanked by this giant Obsidian black bird like figure.
3:41
I'm assuming I would recognize this as Lugia.
3:43
Oh yeah, guys, we need to go kill that bird.
3:48
OK. Yep, Yep, that's coming pretty
3:50
fast, isn't it? Good.
3:53
Yep, you see you see Winona pull down like a a tree root and
3:59
calls into it and says ground forces the shadow Pokémon
4:02
approach be on guard. She just use a root like a
4:06
walkie-talkie. Yep, it it like comes down like
4:11
the Periscope of like a submarine.
4:14
Of course you can do that. You never asked.
4:17
Why asking now? I'm asking clarifying questions,
4:20
Matthew. What else can this tree do,
4:23
Matthew? It can do whatever you want.
4:28
It's a magical tree. Can it make me a hopeful meal?
4:31
Can it kill the Lugia for me? Can't do the first thing or the
4:35
second thing, but as far as a home cooked meal, yeah, you you
4:40
get a a nice steaming plate of, I don't know, sausage and Mead.
4:46
Sick. Yeah, better than grill.
4:48
Is the Mead on the plate? No, the meat is in.
4:52
Just floating on me. The meat is in a bowl that is
4:57
attached to the plate. I I don't like how a tree just
5:00
made meat. That seems suspicious.
5:02
It's vegan, true. It's vegan tree meat.
5:09
I froze on the floor. Treat.
5:15
Winona just looks down at the sausage on the floor.
5:19
And it's just like, somebody's going to have to clean that up,
5:23
you know? It's not going to be me.
5:26
Yeah, the tree is a magical tree.
5:29
Can it just not reabsorb it back into itself?
5:32
That is my exact question. Reabsorb your own nutrients
5:35
magical tree. Give us your magical Periscope
5:38
magical tree. What have you done, man?
5:44
I've done. This was supposed to be like a.
5:47
2 minute waiter all over again. They said Yep, this.
5:53
Is just going to be 25 minutes of talking to this.
5:55
Damn tree. So, OK, so as as Serge just kind
6:05
of looks I'm trying to do my best bees impression by the way.
6:12
That's pretty good. It's pretty close.
6:13
Pretty. Close.
6:14
You know I can always just ping him for just sounds too.
6:17
That true? All right, well, he just kind of
6:20
shrugs and the chat on on his shoulders.
6:24
Well, we're going down. You can play with this tree as
6:28
much as you want, but we're going down to face our destiny.
6:31
I'm going with that guy. Isn't our destiny to defeat the
6:34
Unspeakable 1? So do we have to face this one?
6:37
Yes. I feel like it's more of like a
6:39
friend's thing. This is the destiny on the road
6:43
to your destiny. This is the that That doesn't
6:46
make sense. That's a double negative.
6:48
This is like a this is like a gas station on the way.
6:52
What's the gas station? Guinan.
6:54
My final boss is your mini boss. We're on a road trip.
6:58
This is a gas station. Everybody just looks at you,
7:01
Guinan. Nobody knows what a gas station
7:03
is. I'm confused it's on my Sino
7:06
maps it says gas station. It's one of the selected
7:10
options. Is it just a field of beans?
7:13
It says find a gas station near you.
7:15
I thought that was like a thing here.
7:18
I I guess I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
7:21
Sometimes I worry that all of this is just one vivid
7:23
hallucination anyway. It's just a bunch of broccoli.
7:38
OK, have we have have we got a plan?
7:41
Kill the bird. Yeah, but obviously kill the
7:44
bird, Brutus. But how do we get into the bird
7:47
that bird is? The bird is coming to us.
7:50
Yeah, but, but, but you're not. You're not hearing me.
7:53
There's thousands of rows of shadow Pokémon in front between
7:58
US and I don't think we can throw you that far.
8:02
I think I have a solution for that.
8:05
Clive's just gonna. You see he looks at Dine in for
8:11
a long time and then turns to the rest of the group and is
8:17
just like well part of part of me being here.
8:24
As the legendary warrior and emissary to Shadow Fell, I can
8:29
provide some weaponry and power for your Pokémon as you will be
8:37
hopefully looks at Gynan for another long time on the front
8:41
lines of this battle. I wanted to provide some
8:45
armaments for yourself and your Pokémon to even the fight as
8:49
this is not one that is in our favor so it seems.
8:56
OK, OK. Wait, is it used armor?
9:01
No, it's it's, it's new armor. OK.
9:05
But how does she sound? No, it's not.
9:09
It's blue, I promise. She dejectedly raises her hands
9:15
and you see this collection of shadows, not like the the bad
9:20
shadows, but like the good shadows.
9:22
Oh my God, fly around you and you feel empowered.
9:29
These shadows are going to art, act art.
9:32
These shadows act as armor, weaponry, and feels like a surge
9:39
of vitality for you and your Pokémon.
9:42
Whereas you felt before maybe you could, you know, maybe you
9:45
could take on a small platoon, now you feel that you could take
9:48
on a whole army by yourself. It's it's like pre workout,
9:52
little bit of like, you know, bovine growth serum in there.
9:57
You guys are like a lot of cocaine.
9:59
You guys are feeling like amped right now.
10:02
Why don't you keep keeping my car with these drugs?
10:04
Would you say it mimics the effects of PCP?
10:07
Yeah, you know what this is? This is just like Shadow Fell
10:10
PCP. Have fun.
10:12
Sick. OK.
10:16
Brain stimulated for the first time ever, Brutus is going to
10:21
reach into his bag and remember that he has this Alpha Stone
10:24
fragment that he's been holding on to forever, which is acts as
10:29
a rare candy, correct? Yes, he is going to pop out
10:34
Nightshade and touch the Alpha Stone fragment to nightshade the
10:38
Sprigatito to level him up from 4:00 to 5:00.
10:41
Shit, you evolved. Oh shit.
10:44
Do you want to take that level of bonus now?
10:48
I'll figure it out as we're going I.
10:51
I all right, just remember we we also like completely switched up
10:55
the way that this game is played.
10:58
While I figured this out, why don't you explain what we did?
11:08
Yeah, so we basically took the system for Armor Aster and I
11:12
turned it, I made it Pokémon. So shout out to whoever made the
11:17
Armor Aster spreadsheet that we're using.
11:19
You're great. So when a Pokémon levels up,
11:21
among the many other things that that has changed in this
11:25
version, when a Pokémon levels up, they can do one of four
11:28
things. They can either learn a new move
11:31
and that is based off of their level.
11:32
So right now as Spigotito is level 5, it can learn move tutor
11:38
moves. And for Pokémon that were made
11:40
in generations where move tutors don't exist, we're just kind of
11:44
going off of vibes and what makes sense.
11:47
They can also learn level up moves up to the the level that
11:51
they are. So Sprigotito's level 5, it can
11:54
now learn moves up to level 25. You can choose to reroll a
11:59
nature, you can upgrade a move so that is taking a move and
12:04
either adding extra damage base or adding an extra effect, or
12:08
you can basically treat your Pokémon's next move as an auto
12:11
success. Yes, so as Nightshade evolves
12:18
into a florigato from a spigotito, the the normally like
12:23
dark green parts on a florigato are more like black and red,
12:29
more black just like with a hint of red.
12:31
And the the sort of like leaf poncho it's got flows into more
12:35
of like a Cape as it stands on 2 legs now.
12:39
Oh, also I gave him the brave nature for stage 2.
12:53
And then Guynan and Clyde. Do you guys want to do anything
12:56
before we before you face off against this legion of enemies?
13:04
Guynan's going to check in her backpack, just to make sure that
13:07
everything is still in order. Yes, everything is still in
13:10
order. You pull out a, you pull out a
13:12
knuckle. A knuckle.
13:13
Amazing. 1/3 meta metatarsal. I'm going to just make sure the
13:19
bandana I've got tied around my neck is tight, put the hood on
13:23
my cloak up, make sure my boots are tight so they don't cause
13:28
any problems, and just basically just do all like the pre bot war
13:33
armor checks and weapon checks that I was taught by my son of a
13:37
bitch of a dad. Hell yeah.
13:40
And Clyde, as you're as you tighten this bandana, you just
13:44
hear a not as crazy as your Magikarp, but you just hear a
13:48
more subdued laugh in the back of your mind.
13:52
OK, I'm not even going to mention it.
13:55
It's just regular fucking. It's just like, Oh yeah, this is
13:58
just normal. Now he thinks he's just having
14:01
hallucinations of Rayo. Rayo in the background.
14:04
Are you ready to fuck some shit up, guys?
14:08
Yes. Yeah.
14:11
And as you as you agree, you feel a part of this tree
14:17
basically make railings and kind of detach from the main tree.
14:22
And instead of walking down, you know, 2 miles of roots, you're
14:26
able to be brought down to the front of the battlefield.
14:29
As you are now at ground level, you see yourself, you know, get
14:34
lower and lower into this valley.
14:36
And as you do, the sun completely goes below the
14:40
horizon. And it is it is dark in this
14:43
valley behind you, you see a force of people and Pokémon in
14:48
ragtag groups of looks like multiple different groups from
14:52
different planes kind of cobbled together to to assist with the
14:56
siege. As as you get to the ground, you
15:00
look back and you see you see the generals and you see Serge,
15:05
Winona and Phoebe on the battlefield next to you and you
15:11
look out as you see this this group of Pokémon advancing.
15:20
After a few minutes, the full, the full might of this army
15:24
comes to meet you at the base of this tree.
15:27
And in the background a little bit further back, you do see the
15:31
the large flapping wings of Lugia.
15:34
And as as the two sides face off, you see this herald, this
15:41
Sisui and Braviary fly to the front acting as the the general.
15:46
It's very much medieval, and even though these Pokémon are
15:49
corrupted, it's very much kind of medieval in the sense that
15:53
this is going to be a civilized war.
15:54
We're not just going to run after you.
15:56
We're going to stand here and we're going to try and
15:57
intimidate you before we before we get going.
16:01
What does our army look like? Are both sides just like a
16:04
random spattering of just random Pokémon?
16:07
Yeah, so the the shadow side, so there are there are a few
16:11
different kind of legions and I'm giving you like like I'm
16:15
giving you people names, but just imagine like the Pokémon
16:18
equivalent. So in the front you have quote
16:21
UN quote infantry men. So you have Pokémon that are you
16:25
know, Pokémon like Machamp and Charizard that are that are
16:29
going in for the melee. And you have you have these six
16:33
well, 5 1/2 because you guys did some damage already.
16:35
But these grand legions in these this Obsidian black armor that
16:40
is, you know, foreign fit each of the Pokémon behind them.
16:44
You have you have Archers, which are your kind of short range,
16:49
you know, short range Pokémon. You have two of the three siege
16:53
towers because you fully took out one.
16:56
And these are going to be your long range, your long range
16:59
Pokémon. And then on the on the flanks,
17:02
you have cavalry, which are your your fast kind of pinsory
17:06
maneuver Pokémon. The army of the resistance looks
17:10
kind of similar. You definitely have the same
17:12
makeup, but not nearly as many, whereas the shadow army all has
17:17
the same kind of Obsidian black armor on these Pokémon.
17:21
You see, the resistance army has cobbled together of whatever
17:26
they could find. So some sporting banners of the
17:28
Material plane, some of Shadow Fell, some of Arboria.
17:32
And it's just it's just kind of like your, you know, your ragtag
17:36
group. We got who we could.
17:39
Does the does the braviary like give any commands or anything?
17:43
I'm waiting. I'm basically saying like who's
17:45
who's breaking first? Like who's charging?
17:48
Who's starting to charge? The Braviary is not giving any
17:51
commands at the moment. It's it's almost just kind of
17:55
looking to see what's going to happen.
17:57
It's. OK, I have a dumb idea.
18:00
What's your idea? Brutus is going to start
18:06
running. As he runs he's going to throw
18:08
brick in front of him from his poke, throw bricks pokeball in
18:12
front of him. And as as he's going full tilt,
18:16
he's going to jump on to brick shell and have him aquajet
18:20
forward and use him like a frickin Mario shell to get to
18:24
the front of this army and lead the charge.
18:26
Basically is what he wants to do.
18:27
Yeah, so Brutus, you alone you start, you take one step and
18:35
then a second and the steps turns into a walk to a jog to a
18:39
full out Sprint. And as you go you hear from
18:42
behind you the the rallying cries of the resistance army as
18:46
the shadow armies also begin to to move towards you.
18:50
And as you let out Brick and you get this Aquajet, you see as you
18:55
are up in the air ready to to make your first move, you see
19:00
these armies meet in the middle. Oh yeah, and the fight is on.
19:13
Gaiden's first move is to let Bradley out of his pokey ball
19:17
and she is going to hop on Bradley and take off.
19:21
Her first move is to she wants to eliminate these siege towers
19:25
because she knows that that's where the range attacks are
19:27
going to be coming from, and she's most equipped to deal with
19:29
it out of anybody in her group right now.
19:32
Perfect. So let me let me just quickly
19:34
explain how this combat is going to work.
19:35
I pulled this from Not Another D&D Podcast who I think pulled
19:40
this from like Cobalt Press or something.
19:42
It's like siege mechanics. So there are there are a number
19:46
of legions of the infantry, Archer, siege and cavalry, as
19:51
well as Hesui and Braviary and Lugia who both have their own HP
19:55
pools. Each type of army they they can
19:58
attack either you or the the tree itself.
20:02
The tree has an HP pool, the army has a damage pool on how
20:06
much they can do, and it's dependent on their health
20:09
basically so. The the more you weaken these
20:12
legions, the less damage they do.
20:14
So Guynan, you take off on Bradley who?
20:18
You guys just whiz over this battlefield past these these
20:21
shadowy Obsidian clad Korvanites and Scarmeries and all sorts of
20:27
flying Pokémon as you just whiz past and you get over to these
20:32
two gargantuan seed showers. Yes.
20:35
So my plan is to get out Reginald, my newest baby, my
20:41
ball toy and drop him like a grenade with his signature move
20:46
and his only move explosion. I love this so this ball toy you
20:55
drop it from Bradley and it starts spinning in the air
20:58
faster and faster and as it goes down it corkscrews into into
21:03
this tower. Please roll me two D6 plus ball
21:06
toys attack stats. That's tragic.
21:09
That is a -1. That would be a four.
21:13
OK so with a four and this is another new thing I'm trying so
21:17
you can give Reginald a point of XP essentially spotlight.
21:22
However, because there aren't there really is only siege
21:28
weapon like Pokémon, it just explodes and there's a huge, a
21:35
huge point of or a huge portion of the siege tower is is taken
21:41
out. So one of the mechanics now, so
21:44
when you drop a legion to half of its HPI am going to make a
21:50
courage check. If this DC is beaten, then they
21:53
stay in fight. If not, then the Legion is
21:55
broken and that first courage check is going to be a 19.
22:00
So you see this, you all see this explosion go up from near
22:05
the back of this this army, and while the siege tower is not
22:10
looking in great shape, the Pokémon inside it are still
22:14
operating and still looking to fight.
22:16
Reginald has also fainted. Yep, I mean I knew that was a
22:21
one and done, but. Yeah, but I love it.
22:30
OK, Clyde, what are you up to? Can can we use the tree for sick
22:36
moves? This is this is my one question.
22:39
It depends what are you trying to do.
22:42
OK, so I'm going to release Spen, Ellie and Rayo and all of
22:48
us are going to be stood on a tree branch.
22:50
And I want the I want the the branch or the route to like
22:55
catapult us forwards. But while we're in the air, I
22:58
want Sven to use metronome and I want to just be taking pot pot
23:02
shots with my my bow and arrow. All right, I love that.
23:07
So go ahead and roll 2D6 to see what the what this move looks
23:13
like. Come on baby, that is a 10.
23:18
All right. So I believe we said that that's
23:21
going to be. That is a random move, one
23:24
damage base above its current stage.
23:26
I see. OK, so I need a number between
23:30
1:00 and 1:32. One second, just get my number
23:35
generator 71. 71 all right? Oh boy.
23:39
OK, so roll 2D6 plus special attack.
23:44
Well, Matt, that is a 13. A 13 OK, So Sven, as you guys
23:51
are just kind of like flying, you get catapulted Also, who are
23:55
you trying to target with? I'm going to try and take The
23:58
Archers out. Archer versus Archer.
24:01
All right, Hell, yeah. So, so as you guys get flung
24:06
across this line of infantry, you get into these Archers and
24:10
you see Sen grab just a ball of white and just shoot it, taking
24:18
out, you know, it. It looks like the like Lucario's
24:22
final smash. That just like beam of light,
24:25
Lucario has used prismatic laser and so Lucario is going to gain
24:32
the shaken condition, which is not something that we have seen,
24:38
but it's basically disadvantage on your next move.
24:42
However, that is going to do enough damage for this legion of
24:46
Archers to make a courage check that is a 14, which it means
24:55
they're still fighting. So as you all are kind of
24:59
shooting these things around Brutus, I know you are leading
25:02
the charge. Are you are you trying to make a
25:05
move here? Yes, I am riding brick straight
25:09
towards the Sisuan Braviary and as I approach it, I'm going to
25:13
pull out another poker ball and all six of my failings are going
25:18
to pop out and just start riding me just like stuck to my body.
25:22
And I'm going to I'm going to grab the lead one, the spike on
25:25
his head, look at him and just go.
25:27
Your head looks pretty hard. And I'm going to shot put this
25:30
thing into the issuing bravery and have it use iron head.
25:34
Hell yeah. I, I had to go do some math on
25:38
the weights of Phalanx. All together they're 136 lbs.
25:42
There's six of them, so they're about 22 lbs apiece and a shot
25:46
put ball to 16. Brutus is a Brutus is a big guy.
25:50
So this is a pretty average shot put and a shot.
25:53
All right, perfect. All right.
25:54
Give me that roll, baby. This is.
25:56
I'd love that visual. 2D6 plus attack.
25:59
Yep. Attack.
26:02
That's a nine so close to a flinch.
26:05
All right, yeah, Hosui and Braviary is not quite expecting
26:10
you to to go right for it so it. Oh, I'm hitting this Braviary
26:14
and I'm going for Lugia. Everything else is irrelevant.
26:17
Brutus has one track on. His side so it kind of falls in
26:22
the air for a second before recovering all right OK, so now
26:34
we are going to do oh, you know what I have one more courage
26:37
check because you guys got this one inventory down to F that's
26:43
going to be a Nat 1. So you see the tide of the
26:46
battle from from below or in front depending on where you
26:50
are. You see that start to turn, you
26:52
see one of these legions is being overrun by this resistance
26:57
and after some fighting they break and they start to desert.
27:01
And so they they retreat after taking some heavy losses.
27:04
That being said, they the infantry is able to push back
27:10
the resistance up to the gates, up to the gates and the the
27:14
roots of this tree and they start, they start shooting
27:17
elements, elemental beams and slashing and hacking and just
27:22
trying to get this tree. All right.
27:25
So that's going to be some damage on the world tree.
27:28
The world tree has 1000 health and so the world tree takes 200
27:34
damage. So it is at $800 a.
27:36
Wow. Oh boy.
27:38
Oh shit. Yeah.
27:40
Yeah. So the next turn The Archers are
27:44
going to get into range and then after that the siege units are
27:47
going to get into range. The cavalry cannot attack the
27:50
walls. So from the cavalry side you see
27:53
these these just very speedy Pokémon kind of flank and start
27:58
to start to overrun the resistance.
28:00
But these resistance empowered by what you guys have been able
28:03
to do, they start to they start to push back against this
28:06
cavalry, the siege unit, the 1 cannon or the one tower that
28:12
that you exploded Gynan, it is going to send a volley of just
28:16
like beams and arrows and stuff at you.
28:21
And Bradley, that is going to be a nine.
28:26
So I need Bradley to take two ticks of HP All right, let's see
28:34
this Sisui and Braviary is going to go for Brutus.
28:39
It trains it's eyes directly on you and you see a you see a
28:44
burst of this psychic energy come out from it's like you're
28:47
looking things that is just going to miss.
28:51
So you get assaulted by this, this blast of psychic energy,
28:55
but you're able to you and Kemper are going able to just
28:59
kind of take the brunt of it. Easy peasy.
29:02
Yeah. Let's see what else do we got
29:04
here? The Archers are going to go
29:06
after the resistance. Not a whole lot of doing there.
29:20
Now that there has been a turn, you guys see from the back, you
29:24
see these generals start to start to mobilize some elite
29:28
forces. And so now you'll get to use one
29:32
of these abilities. I know I'm throwing a lot at
29:34
you, but basically you guys get to decide on you one of these
29:40
legions you can use to like assist in different ways.
29:46
So for this turn you guys get to decide if you don't have to use
29:50
these, but if you want you can use one of these on your turn
29:56
before you guys go. Before we go, you said or just
30:00
or just is it one each or is it just as a group we.
30:03
Use. No, it's as a group.
30:05
OK, Do we want to start with? Should we?
30:08
We need to start using these now.
30:10
Obviously we're in a really shit position already.
30:12
Well, I'm thinking. I think we should use Bertic now
30:15
and take advantage of having one of us have a double attack.
30:19
We can use Bertic. The other option I think would
30:21
be Kingtra to just start with just an opening salvo of damage
30:25
to everything. Yeah, I think either of those
30:27
are valid first turn. Yeah, I think that's a great
30:30
idea. Let's let's do Kendra.
30:31
Yeah, OK. OK, so you guys are going to use
30:34
Kendra. So you see Kendra the Admiral
30:38
nod over and send a just an absolute legion of these Pokémon
30:42
to go meet to basically do exactly what this cavalry is
30:46
doing and just try and pincer maneuver these forces.
30:50
And you see all of these, I don't know, just a bunch of
30:53
fucking speedy Pokémon, bunch of horses.
30:57
That's a good role. You guys got three.
31:00
That's half you. Get everything still damage.
31:04
That's half of everything. So that means that first siege
31:06
tower is down. Yep, there goes a legion of
31:10
Archers. All of the other Archers are
31:12
like fucked. Yeah, that one siege tower goes
31:16
completely down and then 2 units of Calvary are on the other side
31:21
are completely taken out of the fight.
31:24
Well, that was really. So what's left?
31:27
So you guys have we needed that so we.
31:29
Did. Yes.
31:31
And I didn't want to say anything, but that was that was.
31:35
Probably. We were so fucked, yeah.
31:38
So you guys have 5 like half legions of inventory, you have 4
31:45
legions of Archers that are not looking too hot.
31:48
One siege tower at half, one full unit of Calvary and then
31:53
Bravier and Lugia. Sick.
31:56
OK, so Matt, theoretically, because we'd clearly we need to
32:02
pull all the stops out now because this is too much damage
32:06
on the world tree happening way too fast.
32:10
What's what would theoretically be like the target range on
32:14
dumping a backpack full of 4.8 million human skeletons over
32:21
how, how many legions would you let me target with that?
32:25
I mean, I'm flying. I could theoretically, I could
32:29
really, really burst set off groups.
32:31
It's not. Even a tsunami.
32:40
All right. Do you have Do you have AD 8 on
32:46
hand? There we go, there's AD.
32:50
Eight, OK. Are you going to use all of
32:53
these bones? Yes.
32:56
OK, roll this with advantage. OK.
32:59
Oh, thank God, that's not a lot better.
33:02
That's a six. OK, so you get to pick 6, 6
33:09
lesions and I'll say we'll do another D4 of damage.
33:11
Is that cool? Great.
33:13
I love that. All right, OK.
33:15
So there are 5 infantry, 4 Archers, one siege, 1 cavalry.
33:21
Give me siege and all of the infantry.
33:25
All right. Do you want to roll the D4 or do
33:28
you want me to? I want to roll the D4, of
33:31
course. OK, baby, let's do it.
33:37
Holy shit. Suck my fucking asshole.
33:41
Sorry, that was violent. So Riley, please tell me what it
33:47
looks like as this final siege tower and the majority of the
33:51
infantry is is just engulfed in bones.
33:57
Hey, there's more. Bones, what does this look like?
34:05
Gynan is flying overhead with Bradley and she has her backpack
34:11
just open and comically, comically open, and there's just
34:16
a rainstorm of intact human skeletons falling at terminal
34:21
velocity and smashing into the ground.
34:24
The entire population of Hanover, Germany is falling out
34:29
of diamonds. Fucking backpack and more.
34:33
All right, so I have. With you catastrophic speed and
34:35
exploding on, in fact. I say that's like the that's
34:38
like the population of modern Germany.
34:40
All right, all right. I have to do 5 courage checks.
34:46
There is a there is a possibility that the entirety of
34:50
the infantry is wiped out here. Good.
34:53
Yeah. Well.
34:54
One pass. I can't imagine wanting to stay
34:56
in a battle after something like this has happened.
34:59
Just a thought. All right, I rolled pretty well,
35:04
but you see what's left of one of these infantry regiments,
35:10
They're just like, fuck this. And they leave.
35:13
You see, You know, this one is like a bunch of the heavy guys.
35:17
So there's like some Agrons, there's some Needle Kings, some
35:19
Tyranitar, some Needle Queen. My babies.
35:23
Just all sorts of like big fucking guys and they completely
35:27
turn tail and are just trying to like push themselves back
35:30
through the bone ocean that we have made the ocean, the ocean,
35:36
the ocean. I like that.
35:47
So that all being said, what are you guys doing?
35:56
I have a semi dumb question that you make.
35:59
You may say I can't use, but we'll, we'll go for it anyway.
36:01
Do you remember way back when, when we we played the original
36:06
Nas Sino and you told me that Cliff could imbue arrows with,
36:13
with the styles that the, the fightings that the, the styles,
36:17
the typings of his beloved Pokémon?
36:21
Sure. Can, can Clyde do that?
36:25
Because I have an idea. I'm not, I'm not obviously going
36:27
to be like raining down arrows, but I feel, I feel like if I
36:30
could take the, the fight in the grass and the board from the
36:37
free Pokémon, that arrow, yeah. And maybe just do like a what my
36:44
aim is is to to fire an arrow that basically just opens a path
36:48
straight through the middle for Brutus to get through.
36:52
Yeah, I'll certainly let you try.
36:54
OK. So go ahead and roll.
36:59
Would we call this an attack roll or a special roll?
37:04
It's a bit of both I'd I'd say. Would it be like the equivalent
37:08
of? What's it called?
37:11
Oh, you know what? We have like moves.
37:14
I'm assuming it'd be like the equivalent of a a user power
37:18
sort. Of move I would say.
37:20
I would say we would call this use a move.
37:23
We can do it. I mean, we have exchanged blows,
37:25
so. Do you want me to roll plus
37:28
special? Yes.
37:30
Come on, give me something good. That's a 13, Matthew.
37:34
That's a crit. Jesus Christ.
37:38
All right, Yeah. How does this look as you just
37:42
you channel the power of your Father and send a hail of arrows
37:47
going. Why am I narrating this?
37:49
What does this look like? So I think Clyde has that in
37:54
this moment. He's just seen this fucking
37:57
rainstorm of human skeletons decimate the battlefield.
38:01
And he's sort of like, freezes up for a second.
38:06
And I think he has a flashback to when he was watching his dad
38:10
train all those years ago. And he's seen his dad like imbue
38:14
an arrow with like weasels water type in and I can't remember
38:20
what other pokemons he had left at the end of that that battle.
38:23
I won't lie to maybe glades abilities type in as well and
38:31
unleash this arrow into a target and the the target just
38:34
completely explodes. And I think he just pulls out an
38:37
arrow and he's and he communicates with Sven, Ellie
38:42
and Rayo. I'm just like, I just need to
38:45
can you just do your best to put as much as your power into the
38:48
tip of this arrow as possible? And like he he draws the tip.
38:53
Just the tip. Yeah, he draws the bow like an
38:57
English long Bowman. So like with as much strength as
39:01
he could. And when he releases it, it's
39:04
sort of like this volley of power comes out and it's just
39:08
like the arrow width grows by like 100 times and pushes off.
39:14
Anything sudden it's way gets either falling to the side or
39:16
just decimated in in front of him.
39:19
Hell yeah. And everyone's covered in blood
39:21
now because of Rayo. Even me just splashes
39:25
everywhere. Yeah.
39:27
And you know what, As you're covered in this like weird
39:30
blood, you feel, you feel the world kind of like this whole
39:35
battle kind of slow down. And you just hear yes.
39:42
Yes. All right, Ray.
39:43
Oh, calm down. No, that wasn't Rayo.
39:46
Yeah, but Clyde's going to be like Rayo, come on, calm down,
39:49
bro. Yeah, Rayo has also just been
39:52
like maniacally laughing this whole time.
39:54
I'm not going to do that, but. And yeah, and then he's just
39:58
going to slot, look quizzically up again and self questioning
40:03
where the fuck did she get that many problems?
40:18
Brutus, you and Brick now have this this path forward.
40:24
Yeah, so he's still riding on Brick's back and he's going to,
40:30
as he's flying by, grab the the camper that he threw, recall
40:35
them all into it the ball, pull night shades back out and he's
40:41
going to have nightshade use bite on this thing.
40:46
The Braviary. The braviary which bite has type
40:50
advantage? That it does.
40:54
So he's basically just going to do the same thing and throw a
40:58
cat. At this thing?
40:59
Hell yeah. That is a nine.
41:02
That is a nine. OK, so that's not going to
41:05
flinch, but that he is going to do some damage to this Braviary
41:10
who is not looking happy. I think as this happens.
41:17
You see Brick? What's Brick up to right now?
41:21
Being a super cool skateboard on a river of water.
41:27
So you remember how Super Mario Sunshine when, like you, you had
41:32
to do the blooper surfing? Yeah, yeah.
41:35
And there's just like a wave of water.
41:37
Yeah, yeah. OK, remember how a couple of
41:42
episodes ago Brick had that curse on him?
41:46
Yeah, I was kind of trying to just ignore it.
41:49
Yeah, not anymore. So Brick is going to take, Brick
41:56
is going to take two ticks of HP and you see, it's, you know, 1
42:03
moment you're like going the next moment brick stops itself
42:09
and you are just flung forward into like onto the grass.
42:17
Ow, Brick, what the hell? Things were going so well.
42:23
You see brick for a second. It is just this expression of
42:28
great pain on his face before it, before he kind of steals
42:32
himself and starts up this this Aquajet once more.
42:47
All right, so now we have the bad guys.
42:51
They're going to do much less damage.
42:56
So infantry. So the combined ground forces do
43:02
another 100 points of damage, which is great because with all
43:08
of that, it could have been much more than that because The
43:10
Archers were going too and they do double damage to the walls.
43:16
You know what? You know what would really make
43:17
this battle more easy? If our actual army was doing
43:20
anything to help us. Yes, that's very true.
43:25
They have done fuck. Off.
43:26
That's what our that's what our commands are, right?
43:29
They're doing stuff in the background and actually, you
43:32
see, you see the armies of good, you see the armies of good fully
43:36
take out this last cavalry unit. There's there's certainly some
43:39
loss, but right now it looks like the tide of battle is
43:44
shifting in your favor. OK.
43:46
The next thing I'm going to do, I'm going to add in one more
43:50
mechanic here. We're going to I'm going to roll
43:54
a dice and we might get some some health back on the tree as
43:59
these as now that the focus is not necessarily fighting and
44:02
you've done a lot of work to kind of clear the area.
44:06
Now we can focus on fortification and my first
44:11
roll's a three. So nothing happens as you see
44:15
some of these Pokémon, you know as these as these infantry go to
44:19
attack the trees. You see there's one of these
44:22
roots is is burning and is getting its way kind of up from
44:27
the bottom of the battlefield up towards the the middle levels of
44:30
this tree. And you see some of these
44:32
Pokémon pivot while kind of covering themselves to to try
44:37
and take out this fire. This is now once again, your
44:40
turn. Yeah, you guys can use one of
44:43
these, one of these abilities if you would like.
44:46
Do we roll for Kingdrive? You can you can roll.
44:51
We have to choose to do it. Yeah, you have to choose to.
44:54
Enroll, we're good, OK. Yeah, I feel like either Gallade
45:01
causing another legion to roll at disadvantage is good, or
45:06
maybe scar me so we can move Brutus up.
45:10
Well, I'm already fighting the Braviary.
45:12
I mean, unless you want me to move.
45:14
Oh. Being a Braviary, The Braviary
45:15
hasn't gone yet. Yeah, that's cool.
45:19
Brutus as Braviary swoops down and it grabs you from the
45:26
ground. It's it digs its talons into
45:28
your shoulders. You can take a nice two points
45:32
of damage here, and this Braviary is starting to lift you
45:36
up into the sky. Right where I want it.
45:52
So what all is left at this point going?
45:55
Into there are there are 4 legions of infantry, they all
45:59
have one HP left, 4 of Archers that have two HP left and
46:07
Braviary and Lugia. OK cool.
46:10
I am going to focus on the infantry if you want to focus on
46:13
The Archers. Sounds good to me.
46:16
Makes. The most sense and then Brutus
46:18
Keep. Fucking up the braviary.
46:20
Braviary and then yeah, we'll switch focus to Lugia once we're
46:23
all done with our shit. Yep.
46:26
So Gynan is going to bring Bradley in for a landing.
46:33
She's going to let let him stay out of his poke you all, but
46:35
she's going to let Joshua out and she's going to ask Joshua to
46:39
use dig in the area around the infantry to absolutely tear shit
46:45
up so that they can no longer move or they can only move
46:48
super, super impeded. Hell yeah.
46:51
So here's what I can give you. So you can either do damage
46:59
which will fully take out two legions, or you can forego
47:05
damage to basically make them not able to attack this next
47:11
turn. Boys, what do we think?
47:12
I mean, why wouldn't we just take them out and then they can?
47:14
Attack. Them right, the other two the
47:17
other two are using are going to have to roll for morale anyway.
47:23
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll take two out.
47:26
All right, Yeah. What does this look like as you
47:28
take out half of the remaining infantry here?
47:31
Joshua is like a shark, but underneath the ground.
47:38
He's just like digging and then popping back up and clamping
47:42
down and digging and popping back up and clamping down.
47:45
Yeah, it's. An actual like.
47:47
Situation. Yeah, it's it's like Tremors,
47:52
but worse. But with a croc and I think
47:54
instead of a worm. But with a with a crocodile,
47:57
it's not of a worm. And you see, you see, as Joshua
48:02
does this a few times, you see basically a sinkhole open up
48:05
from where Joshua has like dug around and the rest of these few
48:09
dozen infantry members that are left of the two legions that you
48:14
took out, they just fall into abyss and are covered in dirt.
48:22
Exquisite. All right, Bruce and Clyde, what
48:35
are you guys up to? OK OK, so I've cleared the path
48:41
in the middle, so I'm extreme in these two legions on the right,
48:44
two legions on the left. OK, what can I do that's going
48:49
to fuck shit up the most? And get 2 attacks.
48:52
I do OK. I'm sorry for what this might
48:56
entail. After on the second move, I'm
48:58
sorry for what this might entail.
49:01
First move for the legions on my right hand side.
49:04
I want to have Spen use metronome again.
49:09
OK. So I'll roll up the three dice
49:11
for that. We'll get that out of the way
49:12
with. Interesting question, Matt.
49:16
For rolling metronome was shaken.
49:18
Would he use it on now or on the next roll?
49:21
It would be on the damage roll or the accuracy roll, not the.
49:25
OK, so it wouldn't be -2 for this part be OK, correct?
49:30
OK, let's. That's an 11, which is OK, one
49:35
damage based and then I'll get my finger up again and tell you
49:39
a number because it's the same as we got the last time.
49:43
Roll again. That's an 88.
49:46
That's an 88. OK OK, I got you.
49:51
So roll 3D6 and then take the lowest 2.
49:56
Come on last and loot diets don't do me dirty.
49:58
Now that's. An 8, that's an 8.
50:03
Is it plus anything? OK, you didn't.
50:06
You didn't say a stat. Oh, it's going to be plus
50:08
special attack, sorry. OK, OK.
50:10
Then that's a 10. All right, that's a 10.
50:13
OK so you see another beam of this time it's much more
50:19
metallic and it looks like just a beam of liquid metal goes in
50:24
and fully engulfs one of the legions and halves one of the
50:30
others. You have used steel beam and the
50:34
car or spen is down to one tick of HP.
50:37
Jesus Christ. Still beamed I love.
50:40
Recoil. Yeah, it's like a 50% recoil
50:43
move. Fucking.
50:44
Hell. Well, it should be healed all
50:46
the way. I don't know why I had all those
50:47
ticks. Oh, no, we didn't heal before
50:48
the battle. He was.
50:49
Yeah, we didn't. Was he?
50:52
Yeah, he just took like 5 damage.
50:54
I took five damage from one attack.
50:56
Jesus Christ. No, you took you had three
51:00
damage from a previous attack and.
51:03
I didn't take any. Damage from a.
51:05
Previous attack I just don't know why you had damage.
51:08
I don't remember if we healed or not between sessions, I just
51:11
can't remember. Oh, maybe not.
51:13
OK, I'm going to. I'm going to say Sven's HP was
51:16
full, but you still take 3 ticks of HP from the recoil of Steel
51:20
Beam. OK.
51:21
OK. So that's the right hand side.
51:23
OK. Can I embrace the chaos?
51:26
Yeah, yeah. How?
51:31
How do you want to do that? So I think all this blood from
51:36
Rayo is still all over me and maybe maybe with the the pull of
51:41
the the arrow is probably because it's a lot more recall
51:44
than he's used to shooting an arrow regularly.
51:46
I feel like maybe his hand gets his fingers get cut or something
51:49
like that and the blood seeps into him.
51:52
OK. And I think I don't, I'm not
51:56
going to try and put words in, but I don't know what embracing
51:57
the Chaos entails, but maybe maybe like the power of Tartarus
52:07
or whatever it is that's going to be this Chaos moment fills
52:12
Clyde with, I'm assuming, rage because it sounds like
52:15
everything's angry there. Yeah.
52:18
So what happens when I embrace the chaos?
52:21
OK, so I, I truly did not think you were going to do this.
52:26
So I am just flying by the seat of my fucking ass right here.
52:30
So in your head, you, I think, how do you, how do you tell
52:36
Zazian that you're you're in for it?
52:40
I think this is like a moment of desperation and I think if sees
52:45
Brutus get like gripped up by this Braviary and he knows
52:52
Gaianan's like not the strongest hand to hand fighter it comes to
52:56
that. So he wants to be able to
52:57
protect both of them because they're the only friends he's
53:00
ever had. And I think he just basically
53:02
says, look, I'll, I'll do whatever, just give me the power
53:06
to be able to save my friends. In your head, you just hear what
53:16
this and you see just a just a torrent of blood comes up from
53:22
the ground and fully, fully engulfs the rest of these two
53:28
legions of Archers and Clyde you your kind of Odo Heeman's drocks
53:37
garb. You feel it kind of bind to you
53:40
in a in a way. And the armor that you're
53:42
wearing turns this this dark Crimson red.
53:46
You see it kind of it kind of like grows to to like conform to
53:51
your body and you were just you are covered in what looks like a
53:55
red body suit made out of blood. I have I have abilities for you.
54:02
We will I will have to work on this when I'm in Atlanta because
54:06
holy shit. But yeah, you have, among other
54:13
things, you now have like, you know, the Red Lanterns.
54:19
Oh shit, I'm an. Agent of anger.
54:21
Gosh. Yeah, like all of those like
54:25
blood powers, I don't know about the constructs, but at least
54:29
like the blood plasma, like spit stuff.
54:33
It's fire. You can now.
54:34
Fire. Yeah, you can now do that.
54:37
I am now superhuman. And you just actually at this
54:43
point, you guys been fighting for so long that the sunset has
54:47
turned. Tonight, however, the moon in
54:49
the sky. Keeps on turning.
54:51
You see it go from you see it go from white to red.
54:56
And so now the entire battlefield is bathed in the
54:59
glow of this blood moon. And I think everybody on the
55:04
battlefield just hears, oh, they're humans, rocks, rides
55:08
again. No, I'd be great.
55:11
No, I would rise through all of the pain, all of the love.
55:15
So within our keeper of all faith never change.
55:19
Put the working. Yeah, I did.
55:25
It's my destiny. Yeah, I'm on top.
55:33
Can't be stopped shooting my shot.
55:38
Yeah, I'm the one. I'm a legend.
55:41
Get what I want. Yeah, I'm on top.
55:47
Can't be stop shooting my shot Yeah, I'm the one.
55:55
I'm a legend. Get what I want.
56:00
But the working Yeah, I'm dead. It's my destiny.
56:11

56:18
Yeah, I'm the one. I'm a legend.
56:21
Get what I want. Yeah, I'm on top.
