  >> Skylar: jasmine, oolong, green
• 0:03
  and white. Long ago, these four
• 0:06
  teas were skillfully brewed at the blissful brew.
• 0:09
  Then everything changed when the shops
• 0:11
  popularity threatened its existence.
• 0:14
  All Mister Okaron, the shops owner and tea
• 0:17
  master, could do was to recruit four teenage
• 0:20
  orphans to learn his trade and staff his
• 0:23
  shop. A year has passed since the orphans were
• 0:25
  hired, and although their skills have progressed, they
• 0:28
  still have a lot to learn before they can brew anything.
• 0:31
  But I believe that they have the potential to make the
• 0:34
  blissful brew the greatest tea shop in the
• 0:37
  world. Last time on
• 0:39
  benders and brews, an avatar Legends
• 0:42
  podcast.
• 0:43
  >> Dave: I closed the tent flap.
• 0:46
  There's like, three wolves with glowing blue eyes out
• 0:49
  there.
• 0:50
  >> Cameron: Or I take some snow and I put it in, like, a bottle
• 0:53
  or in, like, a pot, if there's one there, make a little fire,
• 0:56
  and I boil water, and then I throw the
• 0:59
  sword mint in and make some sort mint tea. I load it up into,
• 1:02
  like, five or six bottles.
• 1:03
  >> Mikayla: We open up the door when they're coming to attack
• 1:06
  it, and they stumble inside, and we sneak out.
• 1:09
  >> Skylar: They leap forward, charging into
• 1:11
  this hut.
• 1:12
  >> Cameron: I, kind of, just kind of chuck one of the molotovs.
• 1:15
  >> Skylar: You've got it lit. You hurl two flaming
• 1:18
  tea bottles, they, splash on either
• 1:21
  side of the walls. It starts the walls
• 1:24
  on fire. You guys are out. As you guys start to run
• 1:27
  away, eventually something gives way. The roof
• 1:30
  of this building collapses. There's
• 1:33
  several other structures in this area.
• 1:35
  >> Mikayla: I can tell if there's, like, a wealthier, like, higher important
• 1:38
  type of a cabin.
• 1:40
  >> Skylar: There's only one bow and a handful of arrows, maybe like, five or six
• 1:43
  arrows. So you turn to this book that you found, and you open it
• 1:46
  up, and what you discover is that it is a series
• 1:49
  of journal entries from
• 1:52
  a hunter.
• 1:53
  >> Dave: Been seeing more and more of them.
• 1:55
  >> Skylar: Possessed beasts every week, it seems.
• 1:57
  Been seeing a lot of them with the blue
• 2:00
  eyes. Coming off the mountain near the north cave.
• 2:03
  >> Dave: What was that, Micah?
• 2:05
  >> Mikayla: We're going to the caves.
• 2:06
  >> Skylar: As you guys kind of point your torches towards the ceiling of
• 2:09
  this cave, you see a massive, horrendous,
• 2:11
  bat like creature.
• 2:19
  And welcome back, everybody, to another episode
• 2:22
  of Benders and Brews.
• 2:25
  We're on episode eleven,
• 2:28
  and, you guys probably just heard the, you know, what happened
• 2:31
  last time, so I won't go too deep into that until we kind of
• 2:34
  kick things off. But before that, we have to
• 2:37
  reintroduce all the characters so that nobody
• 2:39
  feels like they don't remember from
• 2:42
  two weeks ago. So, we'll start with
• 2:45
  my, to my right, since Connor is a little
• 2:48
  busy putting some whipped cream on a
• 2:50
  strawberry. That sounds weird to say that on, like, a podcast.
• 2:53
  Cause I feel like that could've, dang
• 2:56
  the whole thing. One that was a big strawberry,
• 2:59
  too. That's incredible.
• 3:01
  >> Dave: The juice is flowing out of his mouth.
• 3:03
  >> Skylar: It's going out of his nose.
• 3:05
  >> Mikayla: You eat the hard part. It is.
• 3:07
  >> Skylar: You look like a child eating spaghetti for the first
• 3:09
  time. It's all over your
• 3:12
  face. Oh, now you're just smearing it.
• 3:15
  What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't touch the mic. Don't touch the
• 3:18
  microphone. Stop, stop. No, you're gonna get it all
• 3:20
  sticky.
• 3:21
  >> Cameron: That was a challenge, but we got there.
• 3:24
  >> Skylar: All right, so we'll start to my right with
• 3:27
  Dave.
• 3:28
  >> Dave: So I, David.
• 3:31
  >> Skylar: Oh, sorry. Sorry. You're right. You're right, David.
• 3:34
  >> Dave: I mean, Dave here playing guo
• 3:36
  Hank, and,
• 3:40
  hey, what do you call those rice noodles?
• 3:43
  >> Skylar: Rice noodles. Like the, you could call them m rice noodles.
• 3:47
  >> Dave: Okay, we'll go with, Seguo likes to play
• 3:50
  with this food sometimes. he'll be eating a nice
• 3:53
  bowl of udon, and I'll,
• 3:56
  you know, he wishes he had facial hair. So we'll put on the
• 3:58
  udon noodle, like a big mustache.
• 4:01
  >> Skylar: Ah.
• 4:01
  >> Dave: yeah. He'll walk around with it and call
• 4:04
  himself Captain Udon.
• 4:08
  >> Cameron: I do have to ask. This is important. Was this before or
• 4:11
  after Gohan had the noodle dream.
• 4:15
  >> Skylar: About the secret noodle recipe?
• 4:18
  >> Dave: A lot of his dreams involve noodles.
• 4:21
  >> Skylar: He may have a reoccurring nightly
• 4:24
  noodle where he's being chased down the road by
• 4:27
  a giant slave, slippery noodle.
• 4:29
  >> Cameron: And then the next night, he's chasing.
• 4:30
  >> Skylar: The giant in the cat and mouse
• 4:33
  game. The noodle wakes up terrified.
• 4:36
  Somewhere in a bowl of udon, there's a noodle that's going.
• 4:41
  >> Cameron: You had the Guo han dream. You had the Guohan dream
• 4:43
  again.
• 4:46
  >> Skylar: Guohan can't hurt you. Guohan's not real.
• 4:50
  And then one day, Guohan walks into this noodle
• 4:53
  shop, and the noodle goes, no. Oh, my gosh. There he
• 4:56
  is.
• 4:56
  >> Cameron: He's real.
• 4:57
  >> Skylar: He's real.
• 4:58
  >> Dave: One large udon, please.
• 5:01
  >> Cameron: We've been saving this one for a special
• 5:04
  occasion.
• 5:05
  >> Skylar: For how long? These udon has just
• 5:07
  been sitting out on the counter.
• 5:09
  >> Cameron: How old are you, Gohan?
• 5:10
  >> Skylar: Oh, no.
• 5:11
  >> Dave: Maybe it's one of those sketchy places that just has
• 5:14
  a never ending stew, and they just keep throwing
• 5:17
  stuff in.
• 5:17
  >> Skylar: It's a century stew. Yeah, century stew.
• 5:20
  It's a disturbing concept, but I don't think
• 5:23
  I could keep myself from trying it if the opportunity
• 5:26
  presented itself. I also like to think that the udon shop
• 5:29
  is, like, the chosen one. He has arrived
• 5:32
  to eat the bowl of Udon we've been saving so
• 5:35
  long.
• 5:36
  >> Cameron: The sentient noodles noodle
• 5:38
  soup.
• 5:40
  >> Skylar: Awesome. All right, Mikayla, you're looking like. You're like, come
• 5:43
  on, get to me. Hurry, up.
• 5:45
  >> Mikayla: No, no, I mean, whatever.
• 5:48
  I play Micah and Mika's fun fact
• 5:51
  for today is Mika's favorite
• 5:54
  part of the conversation is when
• 5:57
  you were gonna.
• 5:58
  >> Skylar: Say, when it's over.
• 6:01
  >> Cameron: Is the commas.
• 6:03
  >> Mikayla: I mean, that could. Whatever. No, our favorite
• 6:06
  part of the conversation is when it gets to,
• 6:09
  you know, when you get done talking about something, and then just. You
• 6:12
  guys just sit in awkward silence trying to figure out what to say.
• 6:15
  >> Cameron: Next, and there's that big awkward
• 6:17
  silence.
• 6:18
  >> Skylar: You know, Amiga just goes, can I
• 6:21
  resonate? But you can't, because then that would kind of break.
• 6:24
  I don't know. It could make it more awkward. Why did she
• 6:27
  just, like, sigh in happiness at this awkward
• 6:30
  silence? What's going on?
• 6:33
  Interesting. Very interesting.
• 6:35
  >> Mikayla: I feel like there's been lots of.
• 6:36
  >> Skylar: Awkward pauses every day.
• 6:40
  Micah, represents a new fun fact that's
• 6:42
  either sad or very awkward.
• 6:46
  Kind of cringe.
• 6:47
  >> Cameron: She's doing the best she can.
• 6:49
  >> Skylar: She's doing the best she can. That makes it even
• 6:52
  worse.
• 6:52
  >> Mikayla: Oh, she didn't have much friends. What do you
• 6:55
  expect?
• 6:55
  >> Skylar: True. You're not wrong. You're not wrong.
• 6:58
  >> Mikayla: So, you know, never mind.
• 7:00
  >> Skylar: Okay, Connor,
• 7:03
  now that the strawberry has been fully
• 7:05
  di. Well, I don't know about digestive, but at least it's. It's
• 7:08
  gone.
• 7:09
  >> Cameron: Yeah, yeah, it's gone. so I am
• 7:11
  playing Brock Lee, the
• 7:14
  earthbender, and his fun fact is
• 7:17
  he enjoys eating oranges just
• 7:19
  with the rind.
• 7:20
  >> Skylar: oh, just straight rind.
• 7:22
  >> Cameron: Orange straight rind?
• 7:23
  >> Skylar: Yeah. it's a little bitter, but you know. Why?
• 7:25
  >> Cameron: Just convenience.
• 7:27
  >> Mikayla: I mean, I have a friend who likes the white part of the orange.
• 7:30
  >> Skylar: The pith?
• 7:31
  >> Cameron: Yeah, the part that you always, like, pull out of the middle?
• 7:33
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, well, that and, like, kind of
• 7:36
  stringy. Some oranges have, like, a thick
• 7:38
  white coating, and she'll pick
• 7:41
  that off and she'll eat that.
• 7:43
  >> Cameron: Like the. So, like, you pull it out of the belly button.
• 7:46
  >> Cameron: It's the part between the orange rind and the
• 7:48
  orange.
• 7:49
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that part. Yeah,
• 7:52
  it's like how you have.
• 7:53
  >> Cameron: No, it's like. It's like the orange has the belly button, and you
• 7:56
  pull out the white part.
• 7:57
  >> Cameron: To be fair. To be fair, one parts orange. The other parts,
• 8:00
  orange. And there's only one part of an orange that is white. She likes that
• 8:03
  part.
• 8:03
  >> Skylar: You know how, like, when you pull the off and then on the other side of
• 8:06
  the peel that was touching the orange fruit, there's
• 8:09
  the pit.
• 8:10
  >> Cameron: The part of the orange that wasn't.
• 8:11
  >> Cameron: Named after that part.
• 8:13
  >> Mikayla: I mean, it's basically the same as what's in the middle, but it's this.
• 8:16
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah, it's visual.
• 8:17
  >> Mikayla: You know, most people, like, pick all they can off, so it's not in the
• 8:20
  orange you'll eat at all.
• 8:21
  >> Skylar: If you do, like, grapefruits and you can. Grapefruits
• 8:24
  and, like, palmettos and things like that. Like, if
• 8:27
  you get rid of as much pith as possible, you don't taste it at all, and
• 8:30
  it's great. Like, that bitter flavor that you often get almost is,
• 8:33
  like, entirely gone. And then it's just really good.
• 8:37
  So.
• 8:37
  >> Cameron: Well, he might have to try that.
• 8:39
  >> Skylar: Yeah, absolutely.
• 8:40
  >> Cameron: In this fictional world. Yeah.
• 8:42
  >> Mikayla: a great fruit.
• 8:42
  >> Skylar: I'm sure it's probably, there's probably some good health benefits just
• 8:45
  eating the rind, I would imagine. Yeah.
• 8:47
  >> Cameron: You probably get some fiber in there.
• 8:48
  >> Skylar: Absolutely.
• 8:51
  >> Cameron: yeah.
• 8:51
  >> Skylar: If Brock is one thing, it's he can tell the weight of any
• 8:54
  rock and his regular.
• 8:55
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 8:57
  >> Skylar: Awesome. And then last but not least, you.
• 9:00
  >> Mikayla: Know, protein or something.
• 9:01
  >> Skylar: Sure. Cameron. Yeah.
• 9:03
  >> Cameron: What's up?
• 9:05
  >> Skylar: Tell us who you are and what's up
• 9:07
  with who you are.
• 9:09
  >> Mikayla: Wait, can I say? My name's Cameron.
• 9:13
  I play Bill doar.
• 9:15
  Yeah, I'm back.
• 9:21
  >> Cameron: That was pretty good impression.
• 9:26
  >> Cameron: Can I just be how this entire episode goes? Like, we play as other
• 9:29
  people?
• 9:29
  >> Skylar: Ooh, that would be interesting.
• 9:31
  >> Cameron: Okay, this is a weird point. Maybe one shot.
• 9:34
  >> Skylar: That would be a funny one.
• 9:35
  >> Dave: Yeah, a freaky Friday incident for
• 9:38
  the finale.
• 9:39
  >> Cameron: Well, that's ironic. That was Bill's fun fact. Favorite
• 9:42
  movie. Well, this is great.
• 9:43
  >> Skylar: Scooby Doo live action where he's a.
• 9:45
  >> Cameron: Big Lindsey Lohan guy.
• 9:47
  >> Cameron: Jamie Lee Curtis fan.
• 9:49
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 9:50
  >> Cameron: his, fun fact is, the bo staff that he fights
• 9:53
  with is the same bo staff he's trained with his
• 9:56
  entire life.
• 9:57
  >> Skylar: Oh, all right. He just stole it from the school that he
• 10:00
  was training it.
• 10:00
  >> Cameron: No, they just kind of, like, gave him it, to practice on his
• 10:03
  own free time, and then he just always kept using it.
• 10:06
  >> Skylar: Well, I'm sure if you take that class, like, you know, they would give
• 10:09
  you the utensils to continue practice.
• 10:11
  >> Cameron: Yeah, it's like you don't take karate classes and then
• 10:14
  they give you a gi to wear just
• 10:17
  for the class. And they're like, okay, change.
• 10:19
  >> Dave: Take it off now.
• 10:20
  >> Skylar: Right.
• 10:21
  >> Cameron: Then you have to walk out naked.
• 10:25
  >> Skylar: Or, like, you, you're in band and you play trumpet,
• 10:28
  but they're like, you have to leave the trumpet here. You never get good.
• 10:31
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 10:31
  >> Cameron: You can't practice it.
• 10:32
  >> Skylar: Yeah, exactly. Put your hands in the, I'm just saying, like,
• 10:35
  trumpet, it's, it's, it's, it's.
• 10:37
  >> Cameron: Got a lot of wear and tear to it, but very sturdy. It's made out of a
• 10:40
  sturdy wood.
• 10:41
  >> Skylar: It wasn't, like, carved from a u that was, like, hit by
• 10:44
  lightning.
• 10:44
  >> Cameron: And, no, he's not that special.
• 10:46
  >> Skylar: Okay. But he's had it for a long time.
• 10:49
  That's important. Obviously, you take care of it.
• 10:50
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 10:51
  >> Skylar: I'm sure there's probably some kind of process
• 10:54
  you have to go through to keep it clean and stiff
• 10:57
  and whatever else.
• 10:58
  >> Cameron: It's like a, grizzled war veteran where you, like,
• 11:01
  point at all the scars, and they can tell you a story if you point at
• 11:04
  random, like, chunks and pieces out of it. Bill
• 11:07
  could probably tell you where it's from.
• 11:08
  >> Skylar: And this tooth right here belongs to a hot leaf juice
• 11:11
  kid that I just beat the heck out of.
• 11:15
  And I never took it out because, I mean, it just adds to
• 11:18
  the aesthetic, so. Awesome. Fantastic. My name is
• 11:21
  Skyler. I am the game
• 11:24
  master. And my fun fact.
• 11:27
  The game m master
• 11:31
  fun, and my fun fact
• 11:34
  is that I recently bought
• 11:37
  two, not one, but two blue milks,
• 11:40
  which you'll probably see a video of, taste
• 11:42
  testing at some point on our YouTube channel or
• 11:45
  something. I don't know.
• 11:46
  >> Cameron: We have a YouTube channel.
• 11:47
  >> Skylar: Yeah, we do have YouTube channels.
• 11:48
  >> Cameron: Just the audio.
• 11:50
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 11:50
  >> Skylar: Yeah. I mean, like, it cross posts, but we
• 11:53
  can put more on there.
• 11:54
  >> Mikayla: Probably recording us every week.
• 11:56
  >> Skylar: Yeah, there's a camera here
• 11:59
  and on the top of the corner of that door.
• 12:02
  And at least two or three of these, I cut the eyes out
• 12:05
  of David Michaela's wedding pictures and put cameras.
• 12:07
  >> Cameron: In there behind fatty lumpkins.
• 12:10
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that was a
• 12:12
  cross reference. That was a good cross reference,
• 12:15
  >> Cameron: To our loyal fans of all shows.
• 12:18
  >> Skylar: Of all of our series criminals, violin numis
• 12:20
  included, whatever the case, that is
• 12:23
  everybody. And with that, we will jump into
• 12:25
  episode eleven of benders and brews,
• 12:31
  where we last left off. You guys had entered the
• 12:34
  cave out kind of above the southern water
• 12:37
  tribe village, that mika had
• 12:40
  grown up in, or for a short amount of time. Yeah.
• 12:43
  You guys went into the cave.
• 12:44
  >> Cameron: You saw the skeleton?
• 12:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah, you saw a skeleton? So that
• 12:48
  whole bet situation is in an interesting
• 12:51
  place.
• 12:51
  >> Cameron: Hit the bow and arrow.
• 12:53
  >> Skylar: But whatever the case,
• 12:55
  I made the bet to whatever the case. The important
• 12:58
  thing was that you guys experienced this
• 13:01
  strange spirit beast that
• 13:04
  took the form of a sort of giant bat like
• 13:06
  creature that was hanging from m the ceiling and seems to have
• 13:09
  been basically sucking the souls out of the
• 13:12
  various animals and beasts and
• 13:15
  releasing them with sort of like this possessed evil
• 13:18
  spirit nature. And that is what has
• 13:21
  caused the village to have been forced to
• 13:23
  flee and take up residence elsewhere, or
• 13:26
  others have maybe lost their lives along the way
• 13:29
  to these creatures. But whatever the case, you guys are in this dark
• 13:32
  cave. on the ground, you see a variety of
• 13:35
  animals that have been possessed from rabbits all the
• 13:38
  way up to maybe a wolf or two. and hanging
• 13:40
  above all of this, this little sort of in
• 13:43
  cave enclosure is this bat
• 13:46
  like spirit creature. And that is
• 13:49
  where you guys are at at the moment.
• 13:52
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna need more, tea cocktails.
• 13:55
  Mala mala tea cocktails.
• 13:57
  >> Skylar: You're at three.
• 13:59
  >> Cameron: I think I have three remaining.
• 14:00
  >> Skylar: Yes, and those tea
• 14:03
  cocktails, for those that maybe need a refresher, were made from
• 14:06
  the sword Lee assortment
• 14:09
  leaves that, they found some research in one
• 14:12
  of the village sort of residual buildings.
• 14:15
  had some papers and research and diary
• 14:17
  pages that mention it. Seemed to
• 14:20
  ward off these creatures, at least for a short amount of
• 14:23
  time. So there's a possibility
• 14:25
  that these little tea grenades
• 14:28
  that you have made might come in handy in this fight.
• 14:31
  >> Cameron: I've got a torch, so I could light them whenever.
• 14:33
  >> Skylar: So completely unnecessary.
• 14:36
  But absolutely what is unnecessary? Again,
• 14:39
  we talked about this before. They don't ignite.
• 14:41
  It's ignitable liquid. They
• 14:44
  might incredibly high proof
• 14:46
  alcohol. It's a water. It's
• 14:49
  boiled water.
• 14:50
  >> Dave: It's, like, icy hot. First it's hot, and then
• 14:53
  you get the splash of the minty spear almost
• 14:56
  instantly.
• 14:57
  >> Skylar: The same time.
• 14:58
  >> Dave: The minty sword mint.
• 15:00
  >> Cameron: What would I need to roll for it to
• 15:03
  ignite? Because I rolled a 14 last time, and it
• 15:06
  didn't ignite.
• 15:06
  >> Skylar: It ignited the house. Because.
• 15:08
  >> Cameron: Because I rolled a 14.
• 15:09
  >> Skylar: Well, partially because he rolled a 14, but mostly because it was a
• 15:12
  dry place, and I figured, you know, the fire would spread pretty
• 15:15
  quick.
• 15:18
  I mean, I guess it's a fear tactic. Like, oh, it's
• 15:21
  fire. What are you throwing at me?
• 15:22
  >> Cameron: I don't know.
• 15:24
  >> Skylar: I was gonna say, what are you guys doing? I don't know.
• 15:26
  >> Cameron: I'm just thinking out loud here.
• 15:27
  >> Cameron: Shouldn't we be, like, whispering?
• 15:31
  >> Skylar: Hey, I've got my
• 15:33
  m t grenades.
• 15:35
  >> Cameron: He can.
• 15:36
  >> Cameron: I can throw him over there.
• 15:39
  >> Cameron: Shouldn't just one of us just go
• 15:42
  sneak over and grab whatever letters on that
• 15:45
  dead guy?
• 15:46
  >> Mikayla: I'll just do it. I got you.
• 15:47
  >> Skylar: Okay. It's way less cool.
• 15:50
  >> Cameron: And we could just stand out here chilling.
• 15:52
  >> Skylar: All right. So, Mika, you're trying to
• 15:55
  sneak through this cave, try to get all the way around and
• 15:58
  to the body of
• 16:00
  Tatonka, who was the ex chief of
• 16:03
  this village that you were born in. but
• 16:06
  shortly after left, he seems to have
• 16:09
  been grabbed, nabbed, whatever. From his
• 16:12
  place of residence. He was the last remaining, villager
• 16:15
  of this village. But just before you guys arrived, he must have been
• 16:18
  grabbed and dragged up to this cave
• 16:20
  and, basically is deceased.
• 16:22
  >> Mikayla: Maybe he walked up willingly.
• 16:23
  >> Skylar: yeah, maybe he dragged himself up there. He thought, you know what? I'm gonna
• 16:26
  die. I want. I want to know what's going on
• 16:29
  exactly, which is, you know, honestly, totally fair. You know,
• 16:32
  I could get that.
• 16:33
  >> Mikayla: Okay, so do I have to do anything?
• 16:35
  >> Skylar: Yes. You are going to give me a
• 16:38
  dude to push your luck.
• 16:40
  >> Mikayla: What? How about rely on my skills and training? I'm a
• 16:43
  sneaky guy.
• 16:43
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Ah, okay. I could. I could. I can give you that one. That's
• 16:46
  fair. Do me a rely on your skills and training
• 16:49
  then, since you have hunting and
• 16:52
  whatnot, experience, and you're the rogue. I mean, you were literally
• 16:54
  playing the.
• 16:55
  >> Mikayla: Rogue class, so maybe I wanted to push my leg.
• 16:58
  It's fine.
• 16:58
  >> Skylar: Yeah, too late now. You made the argument and now you're
• 17:01
  locked in.
• 17:02
  >> Cameron: You missed the four. We don't count
• 17:04
  Florida. Don't count Connor.
• 17:07
  >> Skylar: Florida.
• 17:08
  >> Cameron: Oh, my God.
• 17:11
  >> Mikayla: I got a four total. Yeah.
• 17:14
  >> Cameron: Another strawberry, huh?
• 17:15
  >> Skylar: I like strawberry.
• 17:16
  >> Mikayla: My focus is zero. So.
• 17:20
  >> Skylar: No, that's great for me. So you start to,
• 17:23
  make your way sneaking along the edge of
• 17:26
  this sort of enclosure. So it's kind of like a drop down. Like I said, it's like a
• 17:29
  reverse stage right in the floor of this cave. So there's a little bit
• 17:32
  of a section around the outside that works as
• 17:35
  something that you could use to walk around this sort
• 17:37
  of decline where some of these
• 17:40
  animals seem to be kind of wandering around as if they're, like, waiting
• 17:43
  for orders from this spirit creature. But, whatever the
• 17:46
  case, you start making your way around that towards the body
• 17:49
  and creature. I'm kidding.
• 17:52
  I don't imagine that you just shout out that, but what you
• 17:55
  do have happen is that you step
• 17:57
  poorly on a section of rock slide
• 18:00
  and fall into the enclosure alerting
• 18:03
  several of the animals to your presence and probably the
• 18:06
  spirit creature as well.
• 18:08
  >> Mikayla: I'm, just gonna bend and snap. Ah. You know.
• 18:10
  >> Skylar: Okay. Yeah.
• 18:13
  And snap your way back up to a
• 18:16
  standing position. And I would honestly say that
• 18:19
  probably looked terrifying. Just like some
• 18:22
  zombie picking yourself up off the ground. But whatever the
• 18:25
  case, you know what?
• 18:26
  >> Mikayla: If I can blend with the spirits, might as well
• 18:29
  might look like a zombie.
• 18:30
  >> Skylar: that would be impressive.
• 18:31
  >> Cameron: So by bending and snapping, you plan to blend in.
• 18:34
  >> Skylar: You blend in, snap.
• 18:35
  >> Mikayla: You know, it's just like one of those things where you're like trying to play it
• 18:38
  off as something else and.
• 18:40
  >> Skylar: You'Re like, oh, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, whatever.
• 18:42
  >> Cameron: No, I'm good. This is how you sneak, right?
• 18:43
  >> Skylar: Yeah. you guys obviously see this
• 18:46
  happen. And as all eyes of the various
• 18:49
  creatures and such direct towards your friend
• 18:52
  Mika, you realize that this isn't looking.
• 18:55
  >> Mikayla: Good or it's looking very good
• 18:58
  for them.
• 18:59
  >> Skylar: Okay. I guess they're all distracted by Mika,
• 19:01
  huh?
• 19:02
  >> Mikayla: I mean, I'm just saying if that's.
• 19:04
  >> Skylar: If that's what you're saying, I might.
• 19:05
  >> Mikayla: Not be all of their favorite persons right now. You
• 19:08
  know, I'm the downer of the group they might be excited to get rid of.
• 19:11
  >> Cameron: Oh, wow.
• 19:11
  >> Skylar: Okay. That's a way to. That's good. Quite the outlook.
• 19:14
  >> Mikayla: There's no objections. Just saying.
• 19:17
  >> Cameron: So all the animals look rise to this?
• 19:19
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 19:20
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 19:21
  >> Cameron: And where is, Tatonka
• 19:24
  in relation to.
• 19:25
  >> Skylar: So basically on the opposite end of this big cavern
• 19:29
  thing. Yeah.
• 19:30
  >> Cameron: Where he is currently?
• 19:31
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah. He's inside. Not like a hole, it's
• 19:34
  more like a drop. It's a reverse stage. So it's like
• 19:36
  instead of it coming up, it goes down.
• 19:39
  Yeah, I mean, you could just hop down there. It's not far. I wouldn't
• 19:42
  hurt you or anything, it's just that it's lower than the
• 19:45
  floor that you're standing on.
• 19:46
  >> Cameron: Bill, you want to go in there and try and say, no, I'm running.
• 19:49
  >> Cameron: In there and,
• 19:52
  I don't know, defender, I guess.
• 19:54
  >> Skylar: Okay, all right, sounds good. Are you taking any particular like
• 19:57
  a move or.
• 20:00
  >> Cameron: yeah, probably.
• 20:04
  >> Skylar: I mean, I. We don't have to get straight into combat, just
• 20:07
  to clarify.
• 20:08
  >> Cameron: I'm basically just playing myself between you just notice
• 20:11
  me. I see, and I see everything,
• 20:13
  like looking back. So he's kind of like running to
• 20:16
  the edge of the, the pit and he
• 20:19
  like readies like a defensive move.
• 20:21
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 20:25
  >> Mikayla: Cuz he literally, he
• 20:27
  literally found the spirit guy in the
• 20:30
  maze and he's like, oh, here's something you've lost. And it
• 20:33
  was my dog, I don't think.
• 20:35
  >> Cameron: Aunt Bill turns around, he goes, now's not the time. You're talking about
• 20:38
  this.
• 20:38
  >> Mikayla: Grab the letter saying, my dog.
• 20:41
  >> Cameron: Let me get out of here.
• 20:42
  >> Mikayla: Friend the spirits, because he knows a thing or two about the
• 20:44
  spirit world.
• 20:45
  >> Cameron: we know a thing or two.
• 20:46
  >> Skylar: Because I would say that because ready is a
• 20:49
  combat approach. Let's. Let's do around there and kind of just see
• 20:52
  where things. Where things land. So everybody
• 20:54
  can, pick an approach that they would like to
• 20:57
  take. Micah, you included. and,
• 21:00
  well, everybody included. And then, so you would
• 21:03
  basically be taking defended maneuver. So, I'll have
• 21:05
  you roll since defended maneuvers first. So you're rolling with
• 21:08
  focus 1010. Oh, wow.
• 21:11
  Okay, so you can choose two moves if you'd like. I would
• 21:14
  say, all things considered, you. You technically seized a
• 21:16
  position, and then you're readying. Yeah, if
• 21:19
  that works for you. Okay, so you move to the spot. if you
• 21:22
  have an any negative stat. I don't think you'd have any.
• 21:25
  >> Cameron: I'm taking a status.
• 21:26
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 21:27
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna take. Empowered.
• 21:29
  >> Skylar: Okay, nice.
• 21:30
  >> Cameron: Which is at the end of each exchange, which is, just
• 21:33
  everyone takes one action.
• 21:34
  >> Skylar: Right?
• 21:34
  >> Cameron: I clear a fatigue.
• 21:35
  >> Skylar: Nice. Okay, sounds good.
• 21:36
  >> Cameron: It takes a fatigue for me to get this.
• 21:38
  >> Skylar: Yes. But at least now you're ready. So this. This
• 21:41
  can last.
• 21:42
  >> Cameron: My second one I'm gonna do is
• 21:44
  divert.
• 21:45
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 21:46
  >> Cameron: Which is just any attacks that would come to me, me
• 21:49
  or Micah. I will block.
• 21:52
  >> Skylar: Okay. And that's one of your. Your moves for your
• 21:55
  playbook. Okay, sounds good. Is anybody else taking a defend and
• 21:58
  maneuver? Me, Mika.
• 22:00
  >> Mikayla: Okay, see the position.
• 22:01
  >> Skylar: Okay. did you roll with focus? Do you want to roll the focus to see
• 22:04
  what you get?
• 22:06
  >> Mikayla: Seven.
• 22:07
  >> Skylar: Seven. Okay. Yep. You can take one. So you seize the position. So you are
• 22:10
  laying there. Bill, comes rushing over, jumps in front of
• 22:12
  you, as these creatures kind of come snarling
• 22:15
  with their glowing blue eyes. You're seizing a position. What
• 22:18
  position are you seizing?
• 22:21
  >> Mikayla: I can't move to a new location.
• 22:23
  >> Skylar: Well, you can. I'm just. That's what I'm saying. What are you. Where are you going?
• 22:26
  >> Mikayla: You said the guy was in the thing where I am.
• 22:29
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. Yeah.
• 22:30
  >> Mikayla: So I can go.
• 22:31
  >> Skylar: You're gonna just rush to him. Okay, sounds good.
• 22:35
  Okay, there are, I'm gonna say.
• 22:38
  For the ease of ease,
• 22:41
  I'm gonna say there are four creatures. Oh. Was anybody else taking
• 22:43
  defendant maneuver? No. Anybody taking advance and
• 22:46
  attack.
• 22:47
  >> Cameron: I'm evading and observing.
• 22:48
  >> Skylar: Okay. Ah. all right. Sounds good. Perfect. Okay, so
• 22:51
  I'm gonna say for the sake of simplicity, there are four creatures, plus, of
• 22:54
  course, the, the spirit batch creature. two of the
• 22:57
  creatures see Mika run off and they
• 23:00
  go rushing towards her. they're going to
• 23:03
  pressure. And actually both
• 23:05
  are. Both sets are going to pressure. It's just who they're pressuring.
• 23:08
  So one set is going to be pressuring Micah, to
• 23:11
  stop her from using, let's,
• 23:14
  say, evade and observe. And one group is going to
• 23:17
  pressure bill, also
• 23:20
  unable to use evade and observe.
• 23:23
  >> Mikayla: That's a little rude.
• 23:24
  >> Skylar: Maybe a little bit. Maybe a little bit. For sure. the bat
• 23:27
  creature above you, you see its eyes glow,
• 23:30
  its mouth opens, and you can just barely
• 23:33
  hear kind of the sound of a screech. but it's such
• 23:36
  a high pitch that your ears aren't able to
• 23:39
  hear, like the entirety of this sound. So,
• 23:42
  it starts shooting, sort of an
• 23:44
  echolocation, reverberating off the
• 23:47
  walls, so on and so forth. It's using a move
• 23:50
  called sense environment. I won't read it to you
• 23:53
  just because that feels weird since it's an enemy, but that's
• 23:56
  essentially what it's doing. It's getting an idea of who you
• 23:58
  are and it's observing each of you, to try
• 24:01
  to gain some sort of, use. This is an
• 24:04
  evaden observatory move. So,
• 24:07
  you also see it do
• 24:10
  a bolster or hinder. It
• 24:13
  is going to
• 24:16
  bolster its creatures,
• 24:20
  giving them the status effect
• 24:22
  for favored. Yeah. Since this is
• 24:25
  their territory and, you know,
• 24:28
  obviously its command, it's gonna give them
• 24:30
  favored, for the next exchange. Okay, so
• 24:33
  Brock and Guo, do you have a
• 24:36
  preference on who goes first?
• 24:38
  >> Cameron: Guo can go first.
• 24:39
  >> Skylar: Okay, well, what are you up to?
• 24:42
  >> Dave: So what would this bat creature, what, it made a
• 24:44
  noise?
• 24:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah. So it kind of like let out like a very high pitch
• 24:48
  screech that you only kind of caught part of
• 24:51
  just cuz it's. Yeah, such like a high pitch.
• 24:55
  >> Dave: So I see the animals kind of snarling
• 24:58
  and getting close to Mika
• 25:01
  and Bill.
• 25:02
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 25:02
  >> Dave: So I'm going to try to
• 25:06
  reach into my pouch, pull out some stones, and I
• 25:09
  say stone
• 25:12
  scattershot.
• 25:13
  >> Skylar: And I'm just gonna shotgun it.
• 25:16
  >> Dave: And I, actually shoot at the roof of the
• 25:18
  cavern at like the icicles.
• 25:21
  >> Skylar: Oh, like the stalagmic. Oh, yeah, there would be icicles because it
• 25:24
  is a kind of frozen area.
• 25:26
  >> Dave: And I'm gonna try to knock those the aiming
• 25:29
  at the ones above the animals to try
• 25:32
  to nice hinder them.
• 25:35
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. Okay. So you're gonna do a bolster hinder. Okay. So, you
• 25:38
  get to clear fatigue if you have any. And then you could roll with either
• 25:40
  creativity or harmony to see if you are able to use this
• 25:43
  bolster or hinder.
• 25:44
  >> Dave: All right.
• 25:48
  A seven.
• 25:50
  >> Skylar: A seven. All right, perfect. That is enough to do it. All right,
• 25:53
  so you bolster, hinder, you, shoot this scatter
• 25:56
  shop up towards the ceiling. you actually see
• 25:59
  the, as it's kind of hitting the stalag tight. Is it
• 26:02
  stuck? Okay, somebody's got to remind me things.
• 26:04
  >> Cameron: Stalact mites are bottom
• 26:07
  up, stalactites are top down.
• 26:09
  >> Skylar: Perfect. Got it. Okay, so, yes, stalactites mixed
• 26:12
  with, you know, maybe some icicles and things along those lines,
• 26:15
  start to get hit in just the right way. They're fairly weak.
• 26:18
  If the whole thing doesn't fall down, at least chunks of rock,
• 26:21
  or even the rocks that you obviously fired up there start kind of
• 26:23
  tumbling down. And even amidst this, the
• 26:26
  bat itself kind of panics a little bit. Having seen
• 26:29
  that, you're kind of firing in its general direction. So it
• 26:32
  starts to kind of, fly further back towards
• 26:35
  the back of the cave to try to dodge out of the way here.
• 26:37
  >> Dave: And I yell, get the ladder.
• 26:40
  >> Skylar: Get the. Nice. Okay, awesome. so you're
• 26:43
  hindering. So do you have a particular status effect
• 26:46
  that you are use are, putting on
• 26:49
  either your team or the
• 26:52
  foes that you're fighting, the various animals and so on and so forth?
• 26:55
  as these rock bits and chunks
• 26:58
  come tumbling down on top of them.
• 27:00
  >> Dave: I probably, I think I would probably stun the
• 27:03
  beasts and give them a chance,
• 27:06
  Mika or Bill, a chance to move forward.
• 27:09
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. That definitely
• 27:12
  hurts extra because they just got
• 27:14
  favored, which normally would let him take a whole extra
• 27:17
  move next turn, but now you've stunned them, so they
• 27:20
  are disabled. So awesome.
• 27:22
  Fantastic. So that's a, yeah, not
• 27:25
  today. That's right. that is a full set of
• 27:28
  combat approaches we can pick.
• 27:30
  >> Cameron: Hello?
• 27:31
  >> Skylar: Oh, oh, sorry.
• 27:32
  >> Cameron: I'm still here.
• 27:33
  >> Skylar: You're right.
• 27:34
  >> Cameron: Brock's just sitting on the side. Like,
• 27:37
  Brock, do something. Really like to, help, guys,
• 27:40
  strawberries. I'm eating strawberries.
• 27:43
  >> Skylar: Whoa, says Brock, do something. And Brock looks over at him. He's
• 27:46
  like, oh, yeah. Like how you did something during that
• 27:49
  rock monster. Oh, yeah, actually, I think.
• 27:52
  >> Cameron: Whoa.
• 27:52
  >> Skylar: Was the other person doing something?
• 27:54
  >> Dave: I was about to do the most epic backflip.
• 27:59
  >> Cameron: Because we all know he can do one.
• 28:01
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 28:02
  >> Skylar: okay, so, Brock, what are you up to?
• 28:04
  >> Cameron: All right, I am also evading and observing.
• 28:07
  I plan to hinder, hind bolster
• 28:10
  or hinder.
• 28:11
  >> Skylar: Okay. Oh, you're taking the exhaustion in order to use a
• 28:14
  basic move. so tell me what this basic move is.
• 28:17
  Oh, you're doing the bolster hinder.
• 28:18
  >> Cameron: I'm doing the bolster hinder.
• 28:19
  >> Skylar: Okay, so you're, rushing forward, you look up,
• 28:22
  you slam your foot into the ground, extend
• 28:25
  your sort of rock, reach, whatever you want to call
• 28:28
  it, or maybe probably throw some, a chunk of rock up into
• 28:31
  the air, kind of like, when the, what were the secret police
• 28:34
  called?
• 28:34
  >> Cameron: Dai li.
• 28:35
  >> Skylar: The dai li throw those like, handcuff rock
• 28:38
  things and it like, grabs around. It kind of works like that. Where you throw
• 28:41
  this chunk of rock up into the air, it hits where
• 28:44
  the footing is. The clawed footing of this spirit
• 28:47
  bat creature is holding onto the top of this
• 28:49
  cave. what are you using? What status are
• 28:52
  you inflicting on this creature?
• 28:54
  >> Cameron: I feel like it'd be trapped.
• 28:57
  >> Skylar: Oh, wow. Okay, sounds good. So it is going to be
• 28:59
  forced to mark a combination of three
• 29:02
  fatigue or conditions in order to escape.
• 29:05
  So it is going to mark
• 29:07
  three fatigue,
• 29:10
  as it, as it pulls its feet and tries to
• 29:13
  break loose using sort of the body weight and everything
• 29:16
  else. it is able to break free, but you can see that
• 29:19
  it took, you know, quite a bit. It started doing that thing where it just was like, hanging
• 29:22
  there. It started flapping angrily to try to, like, fly
• 29:25
  out from this chunk of rock. but it does
• 29:27
  manage to, get out. with that,
• 29:30
  we do go into the next round of exchange.
• 29:33
  Everybody, please choose an exchange
• 29:36
  approach or a combat approach that you are
• 29:39
  going to use.

• 30:33
  is anyone taking defend and maneuver?
• 30:36
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 30:36
  >> Skylar: Yes. Okay, I will, Bill and
• 30:39
  Mika, you guys can't use evaden, observe, but.
• 30:42
  >> Cameron: Correct.
• 30:42
  >> Skylar: Yes. That's. That's when you're one limitation. So, Bill, you're using
• 30:45
  a defendant maneuver. What? Or I guess
• 30:48
  roll first and then tell me.
• 30:50
  >> Cameron: Eight.
• 30:51
  >> Skylar: Eight. All right. Okay, so,
• 30:53
  Bill, what move are you using?
• 30:56
  >> Cameron: Divert.
• 30:57
  >> Skylar: Divert. Okay, sounds good. so you and what.
• 31:00
  Who are you trying to develop?
• 31:01
  >> Cameron: That and the two other guys from getting down to Mika.
• 31:04
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. So you got the two animals that are right in front of
• 31:06
  you. There are two that went after Micah, but otherwise there's two in
• 31:09
  front of you. And then you're gonna kind of, like, keep a close eye on the bat
• 31:12
  creature as well, that's hanging at the top of the ceiling, so keep
• 31:15
  them from going for Micah. Micah, you are over.
• 31:18
  Right next to the dead body. And
• 31:21
  you, what are you. You're also doing a defendant
• 31:23
  maneuver. So what did you roll to do a move
• 31:26
  for that?
• 31:27
  >> Mikayla: I got a two.
• 31:28
  >> Skylar: All right, you got a two. All, right. Do you want to
• 31:31
  take the fatigue in order to. To make
• 31:34
  sure that you still get to do a basic move?
• 31:37
  >> Mikayla: Absolutely. Sign me up.
• 31:39
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. So mark that fatigue. And then what are you doing with your
• 31:42
  defendant maneuver here?
• 31:43
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna seize his
• 31:46
  position.
• 31:47
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 31:47
  >> Mikayla: But I'm gonna use one of my, fancy, rogue charms.
• 31:49
  >> Skylar: Ooh, tell me about that.
• 31:51
  >> Mikayla: So, it's called silvery eelhound. And
• 31:54
  when I choose a defendant maneuver and sees
• 31:57
  a position to escape, which is what I'm doing.
• 32:00
  >> Skylar: Right.
• 32:02
  >> Mikayla: foes must mark an additional two fatigue to stop
• 32:04
  me, and I can bring any allies within reach
• 32:07
  when I retreat.
• 32:08
  >> Skylar: Okay. All right, so you are grabbing. You're grabbing
• 32:11
  the letter from the dead
• 32:14
  body of ex chief tatonga.
• 32:16
  >> Mikayla: cold, dead hands.
• 32:17
  >> Skylar: That's right. Is cold, dead hands. You reach in there, you. You
• 32:20
  brush against these cold, dead hands, and cold they
• 32:23
  are as you grab this note, and you turn and use
• 32:26
  your sort of slippery, eel kind
• 32:29
  of dodging, and whatnot to get past the
• 32:32
  two animals that are kind of surrounding you at this
• 32:34
  point. it's maybe like some kind of
• 32:37
  winter rabbit with glowing blue eyes, and then maybe some kind
• 32:40
  of a beaver badger mix
• 32:43
  creature. Very aggressive, and just kind of like a big
• 32:46
  rat sized thing. A giant rat. Ah. Also
• 32:49
  with blowing. Yeah, kind of about that size. with
• 32:52
  the glowing blue eyes. they follow
• 32:54
  after you. They have to what, spend two fatigue to do
• 32:57
  that? To stop you. Okay. I would say
• 33:00
  that you get about halfway down the cave, and then they
• 33:03
  manage to catch up to you. And you're sort of back to
• 33:06
  back with, with Guo or not with glows with Bill at this
• 33:09
  point. as all four of the, the possessed
• 33:12
  animals are kind of around the.
• 33:13
  >> Mikayla: Two of you, can my fox not bite them?
• 33:16
  >> Skylar: it can make that move,
• 33:19
  sure. that'd be an advance and attack, though.
• 33:21
  >> Mikayla: Oh, fine.
• 33:23
  >> Skylar: But, we can get to that in a moment. Bill or, sorry.
• 33:26
  Guo and Brock, what,
• 33:29
  what approaches are you guys taking?
• 33:31
  >> Cameron: I, will be defending and maneuvering.
• 33:33
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 33:33
  >> Cameron: More specifically, seizing a position.
• 33:35
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. So you would do that next? so give me
• 33:38
  that roll.
• 33:39
  >> Cameron: Okay. I mean, this roll
• 33:42
  says ten. I see it as a
• 33:44
  ten, but, you know, I think I, I lost
• 33:47
  my spectacles. It looks more like a six right now.
• 33:50
  >> Skylar: Okay, you got a six. All right. Are you using your
• 33:52
  fatigue? I will take your fatigue to get
• 33:55
  your success.
• 33:57
  >> Cameron: I will take a fatigue to get a success. So I would like to
• 34:00
  get up, up high on, like, a perch.
• 34:03
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 34:04
  >> Cameron: So where I can sort of have a bird's eye view or
• 34:07
  a bat's eye view in this case.
• 34:08
  >> Skylar: Yes. I like that. so I imagine that you, as, you
• 34:11
  know, the earthbender that you are, you kind of slam your hand
• 34:14
  into the wall and start popping out these, like,
• 34:17
  brick sections that you can kind of run up. And there's maybe, like,
• 34:20
  a ledge that kind of sits atop a little
• 34:23
  ways up in this cavern. You kind of seize your position up onto
• 34:25
  that ledge, kind of almost eye level to this
• 34:28
  giant spirit bat creature that's ahead of you.
• 34:31
  So, you have that of space
• 34:34
  available to you now. which is nice.
• 34:36
  >> Cameron: Cool.
• 34:37
  >> Skylar: And we will jump over to. Whoa.
• 34:40
  Whoa.
• 34:40
  >> Dave: Which I'm advancing and attacking.
• 34:43
  >> Skylar: Oh, my gosh. All right, roll me that
• 34:46
  passion.
• 34:51
  >> Dave: I'm too passionate.
• 34:53
  >> Cameron: So passionate.
• 34:57
  >> Dave: But it works. I got
• 34:59
  a 1414,
• 35:03
  practically.
• 35:03
  >> Skylar: What? Like, I rolls. Max, roll. I think a 15
• 35:06
  is possible, but I digress. okay, so with a
• 35:09
  fifth or 14, you are able to take two
• 35:12
  approaches, basic or mastered or
• 35:15
  two moves, rather, from the advance and attack. What two
• 35:18
  are you taking?
• 35:21
  >> Dave: Whoa. It's going to go
• 35:23
  down from the. Go down the
• 35:26
  ledge.
• 35:27
  >> Skylar: Advancing and attacking.
• 35:30
  >> Dave: And attacking. He's going to attack the
• 35:33
  base of this
• 35:34
  stalagmite.
• 35:36
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 35:37
  >> Dave: a large stalagmite in the area. And he's
• 35:39
  gonna smash.
• 35:41
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 35:43
  >> Dave: To take out a chunk from the bottom,
• 35:45
  destabilizing it. So that'll
• 35:48
  tip over in the
• 35:50
  direction of some of the,
• 35:53
  of the creatures.
• 35:54
  >> Skylar: Yeah, absolutely. All right, sounds good. So
• 35:57
  you smash. you get to put a negative status effect
• 36:00
  on them. Or I suppose you could put
• 36:03
  a positive status effect on the. Your friends
• 36:06
  that are currently being surrounded by these creatures
• 36:09
  if you wanted. But it's up to you. You know,
• 36:12
  it's funny because you get into situations like this, and you look
• 36:15
  at all the the negative statuses, and in some way,
• 36:18
  shape or form, they kind of all apply. Like, you
• 36:21
  could say, oh, they're doomed because this giant
• 36:23
  stalagmite is falling towards them. Or they're impaired
• 36:26
  because it falls in front of them, or trapped because
• 36:29
  it falls on top of them, or stunned
• 36:32
  because it falls down and scares them. Like any of them
• 36:35
  apply. It's just picking which one. You know,
• 36:38
  they're probably gonna be impaired.
• 36:41
  >> Dave: The dust or whatever.
• 36:43
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 36:44
  >> Dave: And, well, I probably wouldn't be that much dust, but
• 36:47
  just it obstructing their path.
• 36:49
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. So they are slowed.
• 36:52
  They're off balance. They're gonna mark a fatigue,
• 36:55
  or take a minus two to all physical actions
• 36:58
  moving forward until they kind of get themselves out of this
• 37:01
  impaired state, which at the moment, they can't really do because
• 37:04
  previously they were stunned, I believe, by your
• 37:07
  previous attack. So they weren't going to do anything this round. Now,
• 37:10
  next round, they're going to be, impaired moving forward.
• 37:13
  So fantastic. Great work on that. And then you
• 37:16
  actually get one more from the advance and attack as well.
• 37:18
  >> Dave: So I'm going to smash another.
• 37:21
  >> Skylar: Okay. You are allowed to do that.
• 37:24
  >> Dave: I'm going to pressure.
• 37:26
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 37:27
  >> Dave: so just the same act would be pressuring
• 37:30
  them, probably
• 37:32
  intimidating them, make them back off a little bit or whatever.
• 37:35
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 37:37
  >> Dave: There. So they're not gonna, be able to.
• 37:43
  Oh, I do. I just pick. Like, they can't.
• 37:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah, the whole approach. Yep. Exactly.
• 37:48
  So you can block them from doing a whole lot of stuff.
• 37:51
  >> Dave: I'll block them from advancing in attack.
• 37:53
  >> Skylar: Nice. I think that's that's the best move for sure. So
• 37:56
  they are, both, impaired, unable
• 37:59
  to attack without, having to somehow m get
• 38:02
  around this giant stalagmite that you've just put into the ground.
• 38:05
  And then I like to think that guo kind of, like, steps forward,
• 38:08
  maybe, does some. A little bit of, earthbending
• 38:10
  on top of this, maybe makes the ground shake
• 38:13
  around it or something along those lines to kind of scare these
• 38:16
  creatures. They they are not interested in advancing
• 38:19
  and attacking at this point in time. moving into
• 38:22
  next round, they will not choose advancing attack because they are
• 38:25
  intimidated by this giant stalactite that
• 38:28
  fell down, moving over to the only
• 38:31
  remaining creature left then, in this sort of round of
• 38:34
  combat approaches is the bat itself. So it recently,
• 38:37
  Brock, tried to trap it. It broke free, but it took some
• 38:40
  exhaustion, some fatigue in order to do so. it
• 38:43
  is now doing a smash.
• 38:46
  You, see it fly forth towards
• 38:49
  the front, sort of where you guys came into the cave, and you see
• 38:52
  it slam itself up against
• 38:55
  a. Another, stalagmite, kind of taking
• 38:57
  a page out of Guo Han's book and
• 39:00
  smashing this stalactite that falls down kind
• 39:03
  of over some chunk of this cave
• 39:06
  entrance. it's not that it's impossible to get
• 39:09
  out at this point. It's not covering the entire
• 39:12
  entrance, but it's definitely narrowing the gap
• 39:14
  that's available to get out of this cave
• 39:17
  from. It, doesn't want you guys to get away without
• 39:20
  having a chance to take you out. Ah.
• 39:23
  It is then going to do two strike
• 39:25
  attacks. I think one probably is going to
• 39:28
  go for Guo Han, who's kind of standing a little bit off to the
• 39:31
  side. so, Guo Han, you are going to take either to
• 39:34
  fatigue, a condition, or
• 39:37
  shift your balance away from center. It's your choice.
• 39:40
  >> Dave: Guo Han is going to be afraid.
• 39:43
  >> Skylar: Okay. Yep. That giant
• 39:46
  Batman's flying down.
• 39:48
  >> Dave: I think it. Batman.
• 39:53
  >> Skylar: Rabies. okay, awesome. And then it's going to take
• 39:56
  a second strike attack. So it swoops down, scaring
• 39:59
  Guo Han, and then it goes back up into the
• 40:02
  air, and then it swoops down again, towards
• 40:05
  Mikael doing a strike at Micah as well.
• 40:07
  Mika, are you going to take to fatigue, mark a condition or
• 40:10
  shift your balance? Bill, block center. Oh, yes, that's
• 40:13
  right. You would block it.
• 40:14
  >> Mikayla: Okay. Suck it.
• 40:15
  >> Skylar: Yes. So as it comes flying, don't block it.
• 40:18
  >> Cameron: I take it.
• 40:18
  >> Skylar: You take it. Okay, so you're taking the options that
• 40:21
  I have formed.
• 40:22
  >> Cameron: Take the fatigue.
• 40:23
  >> Skylar: The fatigue. Okay, sounds good. So, as you. You turn,
• 40:26
  you've been kind of keeping your eye on this. This
• 40:29
  flying bat monstrosity as it's been flying around.
• 40:31
  And you see it dive bomb towards Micah. And you step in front of
• 40:34
  this attack, taking the blow for yourself as it
• 40:37
  flies back up into the air, kind of circling
• 40:40
  the top end of the cave. with that, we move into the
• 40:43
  next combat approach. What? Who is
• 40:46
  taking defendant maneuver?
• 40:47
  >> Cameron: Bill.
• 40:48
  >> Skylar: Bill. All right, we'll start with Bill then.
• 40:51
  >> Cameron: Is everyone else not? Huh?
• 40:52
  >> Skylar: Okay, well, you called it first, so
• 40:55
  go for it. You roll a focus.
• 40:58
  >> Cameron: Yep. I'm gonna just roll and see what happens. From there. eight.
• 41:01
  >> Skylar: Eight. Okay, that's enough to get a move.
• 41:03
  >> Cameron: Yeah, Bill, you see, he. When
• 41:06
  he went to block the attack on Mika, he kind of, like,
• 41:09
  jumped in the way, and he's now got, like, a slash
• 41:12
  across his face. And you see him, like, wiping blood off his
• 41:15
  face, and he just points his bo
• 41:18
  staff at the, like, the
• 41:20
  exit.
• 41:21
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 41:21
  >> Cameron: Guys, that was not his voice.
• 41:25
  >> Skylar: Out my face. Ouch.
• 41:27
  >> Cameron: My face wide open. This
• 41:30
  is my real voice. he goes, guys,
• 41:33
  we got to get out of here.
• 41:34
  >> Skylar: I'll hold.
• 41:34
  >> Cameron: I'll block the entrance. The exit.
• 41:36
  >> Skylar: Just.
• 41:36
  >> Cameron: I got it. I got this.
• 41:39
  >> Dave: Wait, how could I get out if you're blocking me?
• 41:42
  >> Cameron: Like, we have two earthbenders. We could just go
• 41:45
  through the wall.
• 41:46
  >> Skylar: You don't have to.
• 41:46
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah, duh.
• 41:47
  >> Cameron: You don't have to go out last.
• 41:50
  >> Cameron: Oh.
• 41:50
  >> Skylar: Always trying to be the guy to save everybody.
• 41:53
  >> Cameron: Sorry. Okay, fine.
• 41:55
  >> Cameron: What? Skidaddle.
• 41:57
  >> Cameron: Let's. Yeah, exactly. Mika's got the letter,
• 41:59
  right?
• 42:00
  >> Skylar: That's true. She does.
• 42:01
  >> Cameron: She just stared at me. Okay.
• 42:04
  >> Mikayla: I literally am shaking my head.
• 42:05
  >> Cameron: Yeah, that's great for a podcast.
• 42:07
  >> Mikayla: You're welcome.
• 42:08
  >> Cameron: anyways, Bill's just going to, He's gonna stand
• 42:11
  there, and he's basically gonna be diverting
• 42:13
  anything that's still coming for
• 42:17
  Guo han.
• 42:18
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. So you're gonna rush over and kind of.
• 42:20
  >> Cameron: Yeah, like, because I'm assuming Gohan's more near the exit.
• 42:23
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 42:23
  >> Cameron: So he's kind of, like, making his way to the exit as he's saying that, but now he's,
• 42:26
  like, looking to protect. Go on, cuz. Go on. Just got attacked.
• 42:29
  >> Skylar: Yes, true. And that's. That's not a. Ah.
• 42:31
  >> Cameron: And that's my
• 42:33
  lodestar, right? No, no.
• 42:36
  Actually, the person I'm supposed to protect is Brock.
• 42:39
  that's because. But I changed it.
• 42:42
  But I changed it because I wasn't protecting
• 42:45
  Brock like I was protecting Gohan
• 42:47
  earlier. I'm protecting Brock from himself.
• 42:50
  >> Skylar: Yes. To the best of your ability. Yeah.
• 42:53
  which is difficult.
• 42:53
  >> Cameron: Anyways, that's what I'm doing.
• 42:54
  >> Skylar: Yes. Okay, sounds good. So you rush over to the entrance kind of area
• 42:57
  where this big stallag might just kind of fell down.
• 43:01
  And you are currently protecting Gohan from further
• 43:04
  attacks from this great monster bat
• 43:06
  beast. as you rush over there, is anybody
• 43:09
  else taking a defendant maneuver? Move.
• 43:11
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, I'm gonna run away.
• 43:13
  >> Skylar: Okay. So you're gonna seize a position.
• 43:14
  >> Mikayla: Sure thing.
• 43:15
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. Do a focus roll.
• 43:18
  >> Mikayla: Seven.
• 43:18
  >> Skylar: Seven. That's enough to do it. Are you doing your slippery eel thing
• 43:21
  or. No.
• 43:22
  >> Mikayla: You betcha.
• 43:22
  >> Skylar: You betcha. Okay. That way, anything that tries to tail you is going
• 43:25
  to take fatigue in order to do it.
• 43:28
  >> Mikayla: I can also, nobody's by me anymore
• 43:31
  because I could grab them and.
• 43:32
  >> Cameron: No.
• 43:33
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah. Cuz bill already left, so. Yeah, it's just you. You just follow. You
• 43:36
  basically just follow after Bill, basically, as he runs off.
• 43:39
  two of the creatures are, at least two of the creatures are trapped
• 43:42
  behind a stalagmite at the moment. The other
• 43:45
  two creatures, look pretty exhausted
• 43:48
  as it is. So they are not going to take the fatigue in order to
• 43:51
  stop you from getting away. So you're able to get to the entrance of
• 43:54
  the cave, joining Bill and Guo
• 43:56
  and, well, yourself.
• 43:59
  next up, we've got a defended maneuver
• 44:02
  as well. We've got Guo. Perfect. All right. You are defending maneuvering.
• 44:05
  What are you doing?
• 44:07
  >> Dave: Well, let's find out.
• 44:09
  >> Skylar: Oh, yes. You gotta get that roll first.
• 44:11
  >> Mikayla: He's dreaming about those noodles.
• 44:13
  >> Skylar: He's gonna just dream about noodles.
• 44:15
  >> Dave: Just got an eight.
• 44:16
  >> Cameron: Takes a little nap.
• 44:17
  >> Skylar: Nice. All right, perfect. You get to do a move from the
• 44:20
  defendant maneuver.
• 44:22
  >> Dave: So Guo is going to, he's still a little
• 44:25
  scared. He's like, ah, they got
• 44:27
  me. Oh, no.
• 44:29
  >> Skylar: Oh, no.
• 44:30
  >> Dave: It actually didn't get him that bad.
• 44:32
  >> Skylar: But Guo's not used
• 44:35
  to getting hit almost at all, really.
• 44:37
  >> Dave: It's like some of the first.
• 44:40
  We didn't even take 15.
• 44:42
  >> Skylar: He's just scared. I think it might have got me. I think. I
• 44:45
  think. Do I. I, think I'm bleeding.
• 44:47
  >> Dave: How much blood is there, Bill?
• 44:52
  I think it bit my neck.
• 44:55
  >> Skylar: Am I changing?
• 44:56
  >> Dave: I'm gonna become.
• 45:00
  >> Cameron: You look fine. We just gotta get out of here.
• 45:03
  >> Skylar: But, my fangs.
• 45:04
  >> Dave: This is like a defensive instinct.
• 45:07
  like, gotta get. It's gonna
• 45:10
  attack again. And I, earth bend
• 45:13
  up like a wall. Like,
• 45:15
  oh, like half dome kind
• 45:18
  of thing. So that was, one of my fighting
• 45:21
  techniques called take cover.
• 45:23
  >> Skylar: Take cover. So you're basically putting up a wall, kind
• 45:26
  of minimizing what? I mean, what exactly all
• 45:28
  happens.
• 45:29
  >> Dave: It says, swerve and maneuver into cover. so
• 45:32
  that's really just kind of flavored.
• 45:34
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Thinning it up.
• 45:35
  >> Dave: The first attack on you, this exchange strikes your
• 45:38
  cover, damaging or destroying it, but
• 45:40
  leaving you unharmed.
• 45:42
  >> Skylar: Okay. Okay, sounds good. so it's kind of like having
• 45:45
  a piece of armor and you know, a lot of games, you're basically,
• 45:48
  the armor is gonna take the damage first, and then after that,
• 45:51
  then there's the possibility that you take the damage
• 45:54
  afterwards. Fantastic. Got it.
• 45:56
  Awesome. Brock, what are you taking?
• 45:58
  >> Cameron: I will be defending a maneuvering as well.
• 46:01
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. A whole group of
• 46:03
  defendant maneuver.
• 46:04
  >> Cameron: Reverse.
• 46:05
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna need to take a fatigue.
• 46:07
  >> Skylar: Okay. Cause it's
• 46:10
  just shy again.
• 46:11
  >> Cameron: Low roller.
• 46:12
  >> Skylar: Bummer, bummer, bummer. All right, so you are
• 46:15
  defending and maneuvering. Which move are you taking?
• 46:17
  >> Cameron: I will be seizing a position.
• 46:19
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. What position are you seizing?
• 46:21
  >> Cameron: I be skedaddling.
• 46:22
  >> Skylar: You skedaddling.
• 46:24
  >> Cameron: I'm going down. I've really done nothing but
• 46:26
  just. I threw a couple rocks, went up, and
• 46:29
  it came right back down.
• 46:30
  >> Skylar: That's true.
• 46:31
  >> Cameron: So I'm going right back down to the.
• 46:32
  >> Skylar: To the group. Yeah. Ah, you ran up to a ledge, and then you
• 46:35
  ran right back down again.
• 46:37
  >> Cameron: To be honest, I thought it was gonna be a bit of a longer.
• 46:39
  >> Cameron: Exchange, but, you know, now all four of us
• 46:42
  are.
• 46:43
  >> Cameron: We're getting out of here right at the exit. So I. So
• 46:46
  Brock jumps down from his perch.
• 46:48
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 46:48
  >> Cameron: He gets down, and even though the walls are
• 46:51
  closing, he's.
• 46:52
  >> Skylar: It's.
• 46:53
  >> Cameron: It's a mountain. So it's earth.
• 46:55
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 46:55
  >> Cameron: Just kind of. Just kind of punches a hole
• 46:58
  through the. Through the wall, right through the.
• 47:01
  Through the mountain to kind of just give us
• 47:04
  a little exit. And if. If we're able to escape,
• 47:07
  I'd like to throw my little Molotov.
• 47:10
  Just kind of send a message.
• 47:13
  Just, like, tell your friends, yeah.
• 47:16
  We mean business.
• 47:17
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. I'm gonna say that the
• 47:20
  bat and the creatures are all taking
• 47:23
  advance and attack. Seeing you guys run towards the
• 47:26
  exit, and wanting to stop you. The bat is gonna go
• 47:28
  first. it's going to smash first. It's gonna smash
• 47:31
  guo's, area that he has
• 47:34
  put up, to. To open up an
• 47:37
  opening for the rest of you. So when
• 47:40
  designing this creature, I had to come up with
• 47:43
  some, like, how it would work. Since it's kind of a spirit creature and so
• 47:46
  on and so forth, I figured it kind of resembles, to some extent,
• 47:49
  an airbender. and having some moves that
• 47:52
  would resemble such. it is going to use a move, sort of
• 47:55
  a play on a move called the way of
• 47:57
  jasmine. So basically, it's going to fly
• 48:00
  forward, using its wings to do some sweeping
• 48:03
  motions. it is doing pressure,
• 48:06
  which causes you guys to minimize the
• 48:09
  approach that you can use, which it is going to minimize or take away the
• 48:12
  ability for you guys to use defend and maneuver. next
• 48:15
  round.
• 48:16
  >> Cameron: Saw that coming.
• 48:16
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Okay. And then it gets to use one more, I
• 48:19
  guess. I don't know. It's kind of an oddly word.
• 48:21
  >> Cameron: Oh. So you basically.
• 48:23
  >> Cameron: Wait, it didn't the first smash count as a. It's first.
• 48:25
  >> Skylar: So it gets. It gets three moves. It gets three moves.
• 48:28
  >> Cameron: It smashed.
• 48:29
  >> Skylar: It smashed. It used the way of jasmine
• 48:31
  to pressure. And it will do a strike
• 48:34
  attack. I feel like this is one of those
• 48:37
  situations where there's four of you all in the same
• 48:40
  spot.
• 48:41
  >> Cameron: It would go for Bill.
• 48:42
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, that's true.
• 48:44
  >> Cameron: Diverting. And he's basically right next to everyone.
• 48:46
  >> Skylar: So Bill would probably take the step forward. Forward. And take
• 48:49
  the, strike attack from this creature.
• 48:52
  the animals, the various animals
• 48:55
  that are possessed. They're going to basically just spend their
• 48:58
  whole turn just running up to you guys. They're not
• 49:01
  actually doing anything since they've been
• 49:04
  essentially, impaired last round. So
• 49:07
  they take one last move. So they basically just come over
• 49:10
  to your guys's area or maneuver around the
• 49:12
  stalagmite. That's kind of blocking their way, to get up
• 49:15
  close to you guys. All right, so you guys are met,
• 49:18
  basically trapped behind you
• 49:20
  with the giant rock and with your
• 49:23
  enemies all kind of gathered in front of you.
• 49:26
  What are you doing? Nobody can take
• 49:29
  defend a maneuver.
• 49:30
  >> Cameron: I will advance and attack.
• 49:32
  >> Skylar: You're gonna advance and attack. All right, Brock, what are you doing? well,
• 49:34
  roll with passion first, but then tell me what you're doing.
• 49:38
  >> Cameron: Eleven.
• 49:39
  >> Skylar: Wow. All right, so karma's caught back up too. on
• 49:42
  the positive side, we are now able to take two.
• 49:44
  Two moves.
• 49:46
  >> Cameron: Yep. So here's my. You're
• 49:48
  gonna love this.
• 49:49
  >> Skylar: Oh, I'm gonna.
• 49:50
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna mark another fatigue to use smash to
• 49:53
  destroy something in the environment.
• 49:55
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 49:56
  >> Cameron: And I would like to destroy the.
• 49:57
  >> Skylar: Mountain wall, the stalagmite that's behind you.
• 50:00
  The stalagmite blocking your guys exit.
• 50:02
  >> Cameron: Blocking our exit.
• 50:03
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. So you turn around, you
• 50:06
  slam your fist confidently right into this
• 50:09
  giant chunk of stalagmite, and it
• 50:12
  blows out a huge chunk of it, sending rocks backwards
• 50:15
  through the rest of the sort of tunnel that you guys came through
• 50:17
  to get to this spot. Opening things up nice
• 50:20
  and wide. Yeah.
• 50:24
  You get a second advance and attack.
• 50:27
  >> Cameron: I will.
• 50:28
  >> Skylar: Pressure. Pressure. Okay, sounds good.
• 50:30
  >> Cameron: Pressure the bat.
• 50:33
  >> Skylar: Oh, all right.
• 50:34
  >> Mikayla: Why?
• 50:35
  >> Cameron: Because I want to intimidate. You gotta.
• 50:37
  You gotta intimidate the biggest guy in the room.
• 50:41
  >> Skylar: That is the rules. Well,
• 50:44
  what are you going to take away from this bats
• 50:47
  capability?
• 50:47
  >> Cameron: I would like to take away its ability to advance an attack.
• 50:50
  >> Skylar: Okay. And this will happen next exchange. So this exchange,
• 50:53
  it'll do whatever it does. And the next exchange, it cannot do
• 50:56
  advance an attack, just to clarify.
• 50:58
  >> Cameron: Oh, convenient.
• 50:59
  >> Mikayla: Sounds like you're cheating.
• 51:00
  >> Skylar: No, that's what it says.
• 51:01
  >> Cameron: Rock ain't stoned right now, but I.
• 51:04
  >> Skylar: Can in the next exchange.
• 51:06
  >> Mikayla: I did it.
• 51:07
  >> Skylar: Okay. All right. and then what are you doing to kind of do
• 51:10
  some intimidation to it?
• 51:11
  >> Cameron: I just stand there
• 51:13
  menacingly.
• 51:16
  He sees the bat, sees me like,
• 51:19
  punch a hole through a wall. And it's like.
• 51:21
  >> Skylar: That actually makes a lot of sense. Yeah, you punch a hole
• 51:24
  through an entire.
• 51:27
  >> Mikayla: As he puts, though.
• 51:28
  >> Skylar: Yeah, I like to think there was a little bit of rock that got in your mouth. You just turn around,
• 51:31
  just crunch.
• 51:33
  >> Cameron: I'm thinking, like, in kung fu panda, too, when he, like, turns around,
• 51:36
  his hands up, and it's just like, smoking. Yes, I
• 51:39
  like to think it's like that. He just turns around and the
• 51:42
  batch is like, dang, dang. I don't want to mess with that guy.
• 51:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah, no, I completely agree. I love that. Awesome. Okay,
• 51:48
  sounds good. anyone else using advance and attack?
• 51:51
  Yeah, yeah. Okay, sounds good.
• 51:54
  go for go. Roll the roll. Yeah, you know what to
• 51:56
  do. Eight. Eight. Okay, that's
• 51:59
  just enough to get you a little bit over. Enough, but nevertheless, you
• 52:02
  get a move.
• 52:03
  >> Mikayla: Can I use it?
• 52:04
  >> Dave: I'm going to strike.
• 52:06
  >> Skylar: Okay, who are you striking?
• 52:08
  >> Dave: And I hit the bat. Just gonna
• 52:10
  go say straight
• 52:13
  stone shot and
• 52:16
  fire one like a, nice stole out of my
• 52:19
  hand.
• 52:19
  >> Skylar: Nice from the hip. All right, sounds good.
• 52:22
  You fire this up forward and Nick
• 52:25
  that bat in the wing. He's gonna
• 52:27
  mark angry.
• 52:30
  He's marking a condition. he is upset
• 52:33
  as sting hits its
• 52:36
  wing and it sees that you guys have an opening to
• 52:39
  escape, and it is furious. Its,
• 52:41
  subordinates have been basically useless
• 52:44
  this entire battle. This say the least. So,
• 52:47
  perfect. All right, so you got that strike
• 52:50
  in. Bill, Mika, either
• 52:53
  of you, using advance and attack.
• 52:57
  >> Cameron: You can bolster or hinder.
• 52:58
  >> Skylar: You can either advance, attack, or evade an observe.
• 53:01
  >> Cameron: You could try to bolster or hinder.
• 53:03
  >> Mikayla: I thought we could have evade an observe.
• 53:05
  >> Skylar: No, no, no, that was way back when. That was way back when.
• 53:07
  >> Cameron: Yeah, we can't defend a maneuver.
• 53:10
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I'm advancing. Attacking.
• 53:11
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. Roll that attack.
• 53:13
  >> Cameron: Oh, I don't know what I add to it.
• 53:16
  >> Skylar: that would be passion.
• 53:17
  >> Cameron: Oh, twelve.
• 53:18
  >> Skylar: Dang. All right, sounds good. You get two.
• 53:21
  >> Cameron: I will go on the record saying this is the first time Bill has actually
• 53:24
  done this maneuver the entire game.
• 53:26
  >> Skylar: Wow. Holy cow. You've been defending just this
• 53:29
  entire time, correct?
• 53:30
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 53:31
  >> Skylar: Maybe. Maybe once or twice. You evaded.
• 53:33
  >> Cameron: I'm gonna say that on
• 53:36
  a advance, an attack, he is going to
• 53:39
  just, I imagine him
• 53:41
  straight on, just striking.
• 53:45
  he's just. Is, the bat.
• 53:48
  >> Skylar: There's the bat. And what levels the bat? What
• 53:51
  level?
• 53:52
  >> Cameron: Yeah, like, is he at, like, within
• 53:54
  whacking?
• 53:55
  >> Skylar: Oh, you mean he is. He's kind of like, swooping.
• 53:58
  You know how like, bats do that? It'll just like, constantly swoop,
• 54:01
  swoop, swoop, swooping right in, this man. That's basically
• 54:04
  what he's doing. So you could technically time.
• 54:06
  >> Cameron: Yeah, he's gonna do that and he's gonna hit it twice with
• 54:09
  two strikes.
• 54:10
  >> Skylar: Whack, whack.
• 54:10
  >> Cameron: And it just comes flying through. He's just gonna start
• 54:13
  swinging at it.
• 54:14
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good.
• 54:15
  >> Cameron: Hit a home run.
• 54:17
  >> Skylar: you hit once, it becomes
• 54:19
  insecure again,
• 54:22
  it becomes afraid. It's
• 54:25
  angry. It wants to kill you. Or, you know, do what
• 54:27
  it does. Suck the life force out of you guys. But it
• 54:30
  also is recognizing that these guys seem to be a lot
• 54:33
  stronger than I was expecting.
• 54:35
  >> Cameron: I really should have hit the bat.
• 54:37
  >> Cameron: Why did I, and as needed to
• 54:40
  escape. And as Bill
• 54:42
  starts swinging at, he kind of, like, starts stepping forward and
• 54:45
  he's just, like, becoming more like, aggressive.
• 54:48
  >> Skylar: Right?
• 54:48
  >> Cameron: And he's just like, yell like, you can't
• 54:51
  have my friends.
• 54:53
  >> Skylar: Nice.
• 54:54
  >> Dave: There's that fighting spirit.
• 54:55
  >> Skylar: Yeah. All right. Defend guardian.
• 54:58
  Defense, defense, defense. Awesome.
• 55:01
  >> Cameron: He's cheer us. He's going offensive for the first time
• 55:04
  this year.
• 55:05
  >> Skylar: That's right.
• 55:05
  >> Dave: Oh, Guo's gonna, he's gonna yell the mica
• 55:09
  Mika bend. and
• 55:11
  snap. But, like, with your
• 55:14
  water bending.
• 55:15
  >> Mikayla: Oh, yeah, like a whip.
• 55:22
  Is there, is there water brown? You're just.
• 55:26
  >> Skylar: Gonna say you always get your drinking flask.
• 55:28
  >> Mikayla: Okay. I'm gonna whip him.
• 55:29
  >> Skylar: Okay. Are you doing, you're doing advance and attack then as well. Yeah,
• 55:33
  sounds good. Roll the passion.
• 55:36
  >> Mikayla: Seven.
• 55:36
  >> Skylar: Seven. Just.
• 55:39
  >> Cameron: He's gonna be so troubled.
• 55:44
  >> Skylar: This time. At this point, it. It's
• 55:47
  going to take. Is he gonna be the guilty.
• 55:49
  >> Cameron: Guilty or troubled? Always troubled.
• 55:52
  >> Cameron: What ails you so?
• 55:53
  >> Mikayla: Whipped him.
• 55:54
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 56:00
  >> Skylar: This thing is all sorts of emotional.
• 56:03
  It's also very weak at this point.
• 56:06
  >> Mikayla: It's like a teenage girl.
• 56:10
  >> Skylar: If that's how you look at that, then absolutely.
• 56:13
  leaving what's left is the
• 56:16
  animals.
• 56:16
  >> Cameron: well, and the bat still hasn't gone.
• 56:18
  >> Skylar: Right. The. Yeah. And then the bat as well. So the animals
• 56:21
  are each going to be doing a respective strike. Who
• 56:24
  you weren't defending anybody.
• 56:27
  >> Cameron: No, but I also said Bill kind of was, like,
• 56:29
  recklessly stepping forward, like, kind
• 56:32
  of like becoming blind.
• 56:34
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 56:34
  >> Cameron: That's kind of my thing, to go in blind.
• 56:36
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 56:37
  >> Cameron: Should I be up there with him?
• 56:39
  >> Skylar: well, at the moment, you guys can't really move up with him because
• 56:42
  the four animals, each one of them is going to attack
• 56:45
  one of you. Yes.
• 56:48
  >> Cameron: Thank you.
• 56:49
  >> Skylar: Except Bill. Bill, you're focused on the bat. so, shoot. This
• 56:52
  kind of comes back to the situation of, like, one of the animals is going to have to
• 56:55
  attack somebody twice. A four does not help
• 56:58
  me. a four does not help
• 57:01
  me. A two,
• 57:05
  twice. Maybe it's because of the water whip coming out of nowhere.
• 57:08
  Maybe. Maybe it was. Was a little intimidated by Brock smashing
• 57:11
  an entire stalagmite, but. So, Brock
• 57:14
  and Guo, you're gonna have to choose, two
• 57:16
  fatigue, market condition or shift your balance. And
• 57:19
  then Micah, you're gonna choose that.
• 57:23
  Two of those options. Brock will be one of those
• 57:25
  options.
• 57:27
  >> Cameron: Brock's an angry boy.
• 57:28
  >> Skylar: He's an angry boy. This, badger
• 57:32
  beaver bites you in the leg a little bit, and he
• 57:34
  goes you and starts kicking at
• 57:37
  it. Yeah. Getting all angry,
• 57:40
  you know, angry.
• 57:43
  Glo, what are you, What are you gonna choose?
• 57:46
  >> Dave: Glo is just gonna be fatigued.
• 57:48
  >> Skylar: Be fatigued.
• 57:49
  >> Cameron: What's your balance at?
• 57:52
  >> Mikayla: I'm all the way, all the way over.
• 57:55
  >> Skylar: Mmm. Oh, she could go off the edge.
• 57:57
  >> Cameron: You really ought to be more better.
• 57:59
  >> Cameron: Friends.
• 58:01
  >> Mikayla: You know, the whole mad situation made
• 58:04
  me really rely on my survival,
• 58:07
  apparently. what did you say to
• 58:10
  me?
• 58:11
  >> Skylar: So you take two of those options or the same
• 58:13
  option twice. Totally up to you.
• 58:15
  >> Mikayla: So, okay, here's my options. You mark two
• 58:18
  fatigue, which means I'm all the way done
• 58:21
  for.
• 58:22
  >> Skylar: You can be at the end, and then you just have to start
• 58:24
  taking. Of course. Yep.
• 58:27
  >> Mikayla: Or it can take two conditions. Either way, I'm gonna be
• 58:30
  in the same boat at the end of the day.
• 58:32
  >> Skylar: Oh, wow. Okay. You don't have any, but you're not gonna be
• 58:34
  full up if you take wrecked. But, I mean, you'll
• 58:37
  be, like, one away, basically, from being
• 58:40
  out. Right, one way or another.
• 58:43
  >> Mikayla: Well, my survival is all the way at the end. My fatigue would be all the way at
• 58:46
  the end, and then I would just be marking conditions at that
• 58:49
  point.
• 58:49
  >> Cameron: I might as well just fill up the fatigue.
• 58:51
  >> Skylar: Yeah, fill up the fatigue.
• 58:53
  >> Cameron: I might mark conditions because you have any moves that rely on
• 58:56
  fatigue and.
• 58:57
  >> Cameron: Then mark your condition.
• 58:58
  >> Mikayla: I don't know. My only thing that smash and stuff,
• 59:01
  which I never smash. Well, that's a lie, because I did that
• 59:04
  one time. Twice. I think I'm gonna
• 59:06
  be troubled.
• 59:09
  >> Skylar: Okay. Which makes sense. I mean, everything that you've experienced.
• 59:11
  >> Mikayla: I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't lean on my
• 59:14
  survival at this point.
• 59:15
  >> Skylar: Okay. No, that's fine.
• 59:17
  >> Mikayla: Troubled about it.
• 59:17
  >> Skylar: You want to go off the edge, so. All right. Sounds
• 59:20
  good. okay, so with that, then we go over to the bat. The
• 59:23
  bat is locked in battle with
• 59:25
  Bill. At the very least, I think it. It would at least take
• 59:29
  one less technique. But whatever the case, it's gonna strike
• 59:31
  twice on Bill as it's locked into battle with
• 59:34
  Bill. So, Bill, you're gonna have to take either,
• 59:37
  you know, the two fatigue, the condition, shift your balance. You're
• 59:40
  gonna have to do that twice.
• 59:43
  >> Cameron: Bill's, gonna take
• 59:46
  angry.
• 59:47
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 59:48
  >> Cameron: And then also guilty.
• 59:50
  >> Skylar: Okay. Interesting. Where, where
• 59:53
  does the guilt come from?
• 59:56
  >> Skylar: perhaps seeing your friend guo got
• 59:59
  hurt.
• 1:00:00
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 1:00:01
  >> Skylar: And you feel like partially because of.
• 1:00:03
  >> Cameron: That and partially as Bill got a little reckless,
• 1:00:06
  he, like, isn't fighting with this. He turns around, he sees all of his
• 1:00:09
  friends getting, like, mobbed.
• 1:00:11
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 1:00:11
  >> Cameron: And he's realizing.
• 1:00:15
  >> Mikayla: He'S feeling a little guilty for targeting the
• 1:00:17
  Batman.
• 1:00:19
  >> Cameron: Yeah. I'm going against his.
• 1:00:23
  His promises, I guess.
• 1:00:25
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 1:00:25
  >> Cameron: And now he's feeling, like, guilty for.
• 1:00:29
  >> Mikayla: He's feeling guilty for being selfish.
• 1:00:32
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 1:00:32
  >> Mikayla: For going after the bat and not blind rage.
• 1:00:35
  >> Cameron: And as he's, like. As he's getting that attacked by this.
• 1:00:38
  >> Skylar: Bat, he's realizing, oh, shoot, maybe I
• 1:00:42
  turned my attention.
• 1:00:43
  >> Cameron: Maybe I should just go back to
• 1:00:45
  protecting them.
• 1:00:46
  >> Skylar: Sure. Okay. This is the first time that you've struck
• 1:00:49
  out, and you. You're wondering if maybe it was the wrong decision
• 1:00:52
  to make. As you turn and see your friends, who you're not
• 1:00:55
  defending at the moment, and they're being attacked, so.
• 1:00:58
  Okay, awesome. with that being said, will
• 1:01:01
  jump into the next combat approach.
• 1:01:04
  Is anyone taking defend and maneuver?
• 1:01:07
  >> Cameron: I mean, the doors open, right? And it's, like, right
• 1:01:10
  there.
• 1:01:11
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 1:01:11
  >> Mikayla: Well, can I or can I still
• 1:01:14
  not.
• 1:01:15
  >> Cameron: Yes, I'll defend him maneuver.
• 1:01:16
  >> Cameron: Defend a maneuver.
• 1:01:17
  >> Cameron: Okay, I'll seize the position.
• 1:01:19
  >> Skylar: Is everybody gonna take defendant maneuver?
• 1:01:21
  >> Cameron: Can I be last so I can try and, like, shut the door
• 1:01:23
  behind us?
• 1:01:24
  >> Cameron: I feel like I'm last.
• 1:01:25
  >> Cameron: But you can't earth bend.
• 1:01:27
  >> Cameron: I'm the furthest in.
• 1:01:28
  >> Mikayla: That's true.
• 1:01:31
  >> Skylar: I mean, technically, we can go in whatever order. Yeah.
• 1:01:33
  >> Mikayla: Ah, but Brock can literally just stand by the door
• 1:01:36
  saying, dude, hurry up.
• 1:01:38
  >> Skylar: But also to be clear, brock,
• 1:01:41
  to. In order to build,
• 1:01:44
  like some kind of a door or something along those lines, that's gonna
• 1:01:47
  require a different move. Sees a position would get you out
• 1:01:50
  of there. or you could establish a
• 1:01:53
  advantageous position per se, escape the scene. But
• 1:01:55
  I don't know if it would necessarily build.
• 1:01:58
  It's more overcoming a negative status versus
• 1:02:01
  making as negative. You would do like a bolster or hinder,
• 1:02:04
  maybe that could.
• 1:02:05
  >> Mikayla: These things were scared of sword man. aren't we all wearing
• 1:02:07
  it?
• 1:02:08
  >> Skylar: Well, not actually. I think
• 1:02:11
  technically, Brock, like, collected.
• 1:02:13
  >> Cameron: I didn't collect everybody's. I collected just my m. I
• 1:02:16
  rubbed some on myself.
• 1:02:17
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, that's right.
• 1:02:18
  >> Cameron: And then I boiled it into the tea and then I made my
• 1:02:20
  molotovs.
• 1:02:21
  >> Skylar: Right, right.
• 1:02:22
  >> Cameron: Which definitely worked.
• 1:02:24
  >> Skylar: I think. I think part of why you guys hadn't
• 1:02:27
  gotten attacked up until this point by the creatures probably
• 1:02:30
  stemmed from that. But at this point, they've hit that angry.
• 1:02:33
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 1:02:33
  >> Skylar: Point where they've kind of overcome that smell. It's not really applicable
• 1:02:36
  anymore, but we.
• 1:02:38
  >> Mikayla: can't just all drop it at the door and hope.
• 1:02:41
  >> Skylar: Yeah, try. You could definitely try
• 1:02:43
  that. And there's always the mallet, the quote unquote Molotov.
• 1:02:46
  So. Okay, for those taking defendant maneuver, I'll.
• 1:02:49
  >> Cameron: Actually evade and observe.
• 1:02:50
  >> Skylar: You're gonna evade and observe. Okay, sounds good. Mika, you're gonna
• 1:02:53
  defend and maneuver.
• 1:02:54
  >> Mikayla: Yep.
• 1:02:55
  >> Skylar: Oh, right. Are you seizing a position or planning.
• 1:02:57
  >> Mikayla: To slithery, little,
• 1:03:00
  little eagle?
• 1:03:04
  >> Skylar: Roll me with the focus to see if
• 1:03:07
  you get to or if you're screwed.
• 1:03:10
  >> Mikayla: I really.
• 1:03:13
  >> Skylar: You're the closest person.
• 1:03:14
  >> Mikayla: Don't be so excited. Frick, I got a five.
• 1:03:17
  >> Skylar: Five. And you don't have the ability to take.
• 1:03:21
  All right, so you're unable to take a move. You just feel
• 1:03:24
  yourself absolutely exhausted. You may
• 1:03:26
  even collapse, to the floor
• 1:03:29
  just out of energy. That last, you know, using your water bending to make
• 1:03:32
  that water whip just really took out the last little bit of energy that you
• 1:03:35
  had. and you're standing there, what's his
• 1:03:38
  name?
• 1:03:38
  >> Mikayla: Gandalf with the
• 1:03:42
  Balrog.
• 1:03:42
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 1:03:43
  >> Mikayla: Yeah.
• 1:03:43
  >> Cameron: and except you just kind of fainted.
• 1:03:46
  >> Mikayla: Similarly, your fell into the abyss
• 1:03:49
  and I just fell on the ground.
• 1:03:52
  >> Skylar: And standing over you is, I don't know. We need
• 1:03:55
  it. We need an animal. It's a platyp. No, it's not
• 1:03:58
  a platypus. Bear. That's a real. That's a big
• 1:04:01
  one. A horse.
• 1:04:03
  >> Cameron: Fish.
• 1:04:03
  >> Skylar: Horse. A fish. Horse.
• 1:04:05
  >> Mikayla: A slippery eel.
• 1:04:07
  >> Skylar: It's an eel. The acyraneus is the eel. What is it
• 1:04:10
  called? An eel what? Eel hound. It's an eel
• 1:04:13
  hound.
• 1:04:14
  >> Cameron: Oh, the irony.
• 1:04:17
  >> Skylar: The eel hound is standing above you with blue
• 1:04:19
  glowing eyes as it kind of snarls, as it makes
• 1:04:22
  its way with bearing teeth. Maybe,
• 1:04:26
  drool dripping down. whatever the case, Guo, are you
• 1:04:28
  taking defendant maneuver as well?
• 1:04:30
  >> Mikayla: My dog is gonna bite him.
• 1:04:32
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. Yeah.
• 1:04:32
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah.
• 1:04:33
  >> Skylar: Your dog is 100%, like, standing in front, just, like,
• 1:04:35
  growling. Yeah.
• 1:04:37
  >> Cameron: Can we roll for her dog?
• 1:04:40
  >> Cameron: Sure.
• 1:04:40
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Is he gonna advance and attack?
• 1:04:42
  >> Mikayla: Yeah.
• 1:04:43
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. All right, we'll get to that,
• 1:04:46
  Poe.
• 1:04:47
  >> Cameron: And what about Dilbert? What's he been doing?
• 1:04:49
  >> Skylar: Dilbert is more like moral. He's just
• 1:04:52
  moral.
• 1:04:53
  >> Cameron: He's like her mascot.
• 1:04:55
  >> Cameron: Also, Bill.
• 1:04:56
  >> Skylar: he is 100%, like, out of the scene. It is cold
• 1:04:59
  here. This is not hibernating.
• 1:05:02
  He's a warm blooded octopus.
• 1:05:05
  yeah, squid. All right. Sorry. Guo, are you taking a turn
• 1:05:08
  maneuver?
• 1:05:09
  >> Dave: Yeah, I'm seizing a position.
• 1:05:11
  >> Skylar: Well, yeah, you're right.
• 1:05:13
  >> Cameron: Oh, maybe not.
• 1:05:15
  >> Dave: That's fine.
• 1:05:16
  >> Skylar: Are you fatigue or. Yeah, all right,
• 1:05:19
  sounds good. You take the fatigue, you're gonna seize the position.
• 1:05:22
  Where are you headed?
• 1:05:23
  >> Dave: How many fatigue? Just one.
• 1:05:25
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 1:05:26
  >> Dave: And say, guys, it's time to
• 1:05:29
  go, and I'm gonna run out the
• 1:05:32
  hole that Brock made.
• 1:05:33
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds, good.
• 1:05:34
  >> Dave: Lead the charge outside.
• 1:05:36
  >> Skylar: All right, so you're escaping the scene. You're getting out of there
• 1:05:39
  to freedom. basically. Awesome. Bill, you're
• 1:05:42
  also doing the maneuver.
• 1:05:43
  >> Cameron: Okay, so doing Bill
• 1:05:46
  was going to seize a position to run
• 1:05:49
  away.
• 1:05:50
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 1:05:51
  >> Cameron: I'm going to roll first.
• 1:05:52
  >> Skylar: Oh, yes.
• 1:05:53
  >> Cameron: Happens nine nine.
• 1:05:55
  >> Skylar: Okay, so you're safe. You get to.
• 1:05:57
  >> Cameron: Bill was going to seize a position to run away,
• 1:05:59
  but as he's starting to run and make
• 1:06:02
  his way to the exit scene, Guo Han, he sees Micah
• 1:06:05
  collapse.
• 1:06:06
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 1:06:07
  >> Cameron: And Bill sees those two things that were
• 1:06:09
  attacking or whatever they are, right, standing above her. And
• 1:06:12
  Bill, instead of
• 1:06:15
  going to run out the door, he runs
• 1:06:18
  beside Micah and takes a defensive position
• 1:06:21
  to divert all attacks from Micah to himself.
• 1:06:23
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good.
• 1:06:24
  >> Cameron: He says, micah, we got to go
• 1:06:27
  now. I can't lose you
• 1:06:30
  too.
• 1:06:31
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 1:06:31
  >> Dave: Stop slipping on the ground.
• 1:06:34
  >> Cameron: Meanwhile, Guo Han's already out the door.
• 1:06:36
  >> Cameron: Bye, guys.
• 1:06:38
  >> Skylar: Someone had to leave.
• 1:06:40
  >> Cameron: I like to imagine when he left, it's like a cartoon where it's
• 1:06:43
  like the dust shape, just like his body.
• 1:06:47
  >> Cameron: Go on. Gets bit, just immediately runs.
• 1:06:53
  >> Cameron: And Brock is evading and observing.
• 1:06:55
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay.
• 1:06:56
  >> Dave: I've got to get out of here.
• 1:07:02
  >> Cameron: Exactly, because I was so impressed.
• 1:07:04
  >> Cameron: You just pressured them back before you.
• 1:07:07
  >> Skylar: Before you can obviously evade an observe. We're gonna do the advance and attack.
• 1:07:10
  So the animals, are going to advance an
• 1:07:13
  attack. And with, let's see, I'm gonna say that
• 1:07:16
  maybe two of them go for, do strikes
• 1:07:19
  against Brock. So
• 1:07:21
  you, you fill out those, however that,
• 1:07:25
  and then the other two are going to. They would normally
• 1:07:28
  be going towards Micah, but in instead they turn
• 1:07:31
  towards Bill, who is defending, and they are both going to
• 1:07:34
  strike as well.
• 1:07:36
  >> Cameron: He's troubled
• 1:07:38
  and guilty.
• 1:07:40
  >> Cameron: Bill is afraid.
• 1:07:43
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 1:07:43
  >> Cameron: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm not, I'm not
• 1:07:46
  guilty. I'm troubled
• 1:07:49
  and my balance is shifted.
• 1:07:52
  >> Skylar: Oh, he's shifting his balance.
• 1:07:53
  >> Cameron: I'm now force plus three.
• 1:07:55
  >> Skylar: Is that the edge?
• 1:07:56
  >> Cameron: That's the edge. I'm living on the edge.
• 1:07:58
  >> Skylar: He's living on the edge. Okay, sounds good. All right. And then
• 1:08:01
  you have the bat. Yeah. the
• 1:08:04
  bat is going to. He's going to evade and observe. That's
• 1:08:07
  fine.
• 1:08:08
  >> Cameron: He's going to test our balance.
• 1:08:09
  >> Skylar: She's going to test because he's got it. He's got fatigue.
• 1:08:12
  >> Cameron: Yes, he's got fatigue to.
• 1:08:14
  >> Skylar: You said he has to pee. He has to pee.
• 1:08:17
  He's got to go fly up there real quick.
• 1:08:19
  >> Cameron: I just turned to intimidate, like, hey, you got a pee?
• 1:08:22
  >> Dave: Get out of here.
• 1:08:25
  >> Skylar: Quickly.
• 1:08:25
  >> Cameron: Runs to a corner.
• 1:08:28
  >> Skylar: okay, so make some guano, you
• 1:08:31
  nerd. okay,
• 1:08:34
  fantastic. So, the bat is going
• 1:08:37
  to do a bolster or
• 1:08:39
  hinder.
• 1:08:40
  >> Cameron: Saw that coming.
• 1:08:41
  >> Skylar: It is going to fly down. It's going to use its
• 1:08:44
  full three moves to bolster hinder,
• 1:08:47
  and it is going to, one by one, grab one
• 1:08:50
  of the animals. And you just
• 1:08:52
  see that same glow come out as the animal's,
• 1:08:55
  like, eyes stop
• 1:08:58
  glowing blue. As this blue force goes back
• 1:09:01
  into the bat and it just collapses and that animal is dead.
• 1:09:04
  It's siphoning the sort of
• 1:09:07
  possessive spirit that it has put in to regain it
• 1:09:09
  into itself. Oh,
• 1:09:12
  potentially to rejuvenate. You're not really sure how all this works.
• 1:09:15
  >> Cameron: Stage two of the boss.
• 1:09:19
  >> Skylar: it then looks towards you guys
• 1:09:22
  and it takes a step forward kind of
• 1:09:24
  intimidatingly.
• 1:09:26
  >> Cameron: Well, I ain't intimidated. I'm only angry and
• 1:09:28
  troubled.
• 1:09:29
  >> Skylar: That's right.
• 1:09:30
  >> Cameron: I'm evading and observing.
• 1:09:32
  >> Skylar: So you clear a fatigue and you roll with creativity or harmony.
• 1:09:35
  >> Cameron: I clear. Thank you so much. I clear
• 1:09:37
  fatigue and I'm gonna mark one
• 1:09:40
  right back cause I
• 1:09:43
  rolled up five. So I'm going to
• 1:09:46
  bolster or hinder as well. And I'm going to take my, my
• 1:09:49
  three molotovs and just chuck
• 1:09:52
  them all, chuck them all at the spirit
• 1:09:55
  bat.
• 1:09:55
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. You see, as these proverbial
• 1:09:58
  molotovs hit the ground. It's a
• 1:10:01
  stone. It's a stone cave. It's
• 1:10:04
  not going to light anything.
• 1:10:08
  You definitely see, see, as, the bat is,
• 1:10:11
  I'm gonna say, probably stunned.
• 1:10:14
  We'll say stunned at the moment.
• 1:10:15
  >> Cameron: I would say stunned or impaired.
• 1:10:17
  >> Skylar: Or impaired. Do you have a preference?
• 1:10:20
  >> Cameron: I just would really like to think that these things
• 1:10:23
  actually work. So I would like to think he's impaired.
• 1:10:26
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. We'll do that.
• 1:10:27
  >> Cameron: Just let me believe it worked.
• 1:10:29
  >> Skylar: So.
• 1:10:29
  >> Cameron: Makes more sense than stun.
• 1:10:30
  >> Skylar: I actually. Yeah, and I like that. I like that because as
• 1:10:33
  you liquid slams into the ground,
• 1:10:35
  releasing this sort of scent of this
• 1:10:38
  mint that it obviously has an aversion to.
• 1:10:41
  you see, it takes steps back and you see it kind
• 1:10:44
  of flailing its, its, winged arms
• 1:10:46
  around as it gets angry and upset.
• 1:10:49
  and seems disgusted by this smell that is
• 1:10:52
  causing it problems. so he is impaired.
• 1:10:55
  So he's going to mark the fatigue,
• 1:10:58
  as this sort of exhausts him, gives
• 1:11:01
  him probably a big old migraine, to say the least.
• 1:11:04
  hindering him from further action. So I would say the
• 1:11:07
  animal also. Same thing. you actually see the
• 1:11:10
  remaining animal looked pretty weak. It was probably the freaking
• 1:11:12
  bunny, the winter rabbit. And
• 1:11:15
  it just passes. I mean, it was
• 1:11:18
  pretty much on the edge. Anyway, I had it at like one fatigue left. So
• 1:11:21
  it takes the fatigue and just goes down. so it's just a
• 1:11:24
  bat that's left as it kind of wipes its nose
• 1:11:27
  of, it's, you know, big pug nose of this
• 1:11:30
  nasty scent that it doesn't like, which is actually quite pleasant to
• 1:11:33
  you, but I digress. Moving, over to the next combat
• 1:11:35
  approach. So, glow, you're out of here. You're good to
• 1:11:38
  go. anyone taking defendant maneuver?
• 1:11:41
  Yeah, okay. All right, sounds good.
• 1:11:43
  Mika, defend a maneuver roll for
• 1:11:46
  me.
• 1:11:47
  >> Mikayla: Can we just like, skip this part?
• 1:11:49
  >> Skylar: Skip the pool? Yeah, that's the fun part for me.
• 1:11:52
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, I know.
• 1:11:56
  >> Skylar: You're just too tired. You're laying there,
• 1:12:00
  everything is kind of like echoed, right? It's kind of like in
• 1:12:03
  movies when a grenade goes off and the guy is kind of like,
• 1:12:05
  you hear this light ringing. you're exhausted. You're
• 1:12:08
  so tired. From your entire journey up until this point. You guys have
• 1:12:11
  been through a lot within the time of, of like roughly a day.
• 1:12:14
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, we barely slept.
• 1:12:15
  >> Skylar: That's right. You really haven't. so you're picking yourself up off
• 1:12:18
  the ground, but you just cannot find that energy inside of
• 1:12:21
  you to get yourself up off the ground. whatever the
• 1:12:24
  case. Brock, what are you doing?
• 1:12:26
  >> Cameron: I'll have to advance an attack.
• 1:12:27
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay, so we'll come back to you then.
• 1:12:29
  >> Cameron: Well, I'm a. Bill's gonna
• 1:12:32
  see Brock starting to go forward, and he's going to
• 1:12:35
  stick his bo staff in front of him, and
• 1:12:38
  he's gonna say, brock, get out of here.
• 1:12:41
  I've got this.
• 1:12:45
  And he's looking you straight dead in.
• 1:12:47
  >> Cameron: The eyes, which is really strange because
• 1:12:49
  he's like a couple heads taller.
• 1:12:51
  >> Cameron: It's almost like his eyes have this.
• 1:12:54
  This. They seem to be glowing
• 1:12:57
  with, like, get out of here now.
• 1:13:02
  Like, you've never seen Bill this serious in time, this life.
• 1:13:06
  >> Cameron: Sure. All right, I'll. All right, I'll
• 1:13:09
  defend a maneuver. I'll grab Mika and get out of
• 1:13:12
  here.
• 1:13:12
  >> Skylar: All right.
• 1:13:12
  >> Cameron: I feel like Brock's strong enough. That doesn't really.
• 1:13:15
  >> Skylar: I mean, you've already. You have helped her get
• 1:13:18
  past the wind tunnel, so. I think so.
• 1:13:20
  >> Cameron: I got an eight.
• 1:13:21
  >> Skylar: Eight. Okay, that's.
• 1:13:22
  >> Cameron: I grab Mika, and I pick Mika. I
• 1:13:24
  skidadal on out of there, heading.
• 1:13:26
  >> Skylar: Out to, you know, all of.
• 1:13:27
  >> Mikayla: This was just to be like, you know, when those kids fall
• 1:13:30
  asleep in the car and they're, like, waiting for their dad or mom
• 1:13:33
  to bring them inside? That's all I was wanting.
• 1:13:35
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, you just wanted to be picked up.
• 1:13:36
  >> Cameron: You just want your friend brother husband to pick you up.
• 1:13:39
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, my friend brother husband.
• 1:13:41
  >> Cameron: Oh, sleepy.
• 1:13:43
  >> Cameron: I'm so sleepy.
• 1:13:45
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. As you, pick Micah up
• 1:13:48
  and start running after guo han, you guys look back to
• 1:13:51
  see Bill, who's taking which approach.
• 1:13:54
  >> Cameron: Moment of balance.
• 1:13:56
  >> Skylar: Moment of balance. The
• 1:13:58
  moment of balance. Give me a rundown on, basically.
• 1:14:01
  >> Cameron: Just said I've sworn to protect the people you care about, but balance is
• 1:14:04
  about finding your own place in this world as well. You know what you're capable of
• 1:14:07
  accomplishing. And now it's your step to show your
• 1:14:10
  strength.
• 1:14:10
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. You've got this bat.
• 1:14:13
  >> Cameron: As bills watch this bat thing hunger up. And he
• 1:14:16
  looks back, and he sees Brock
• 1:14:19
  weakly carrying me off.
• 1:14:21
  >> Skylar: You're probably.
• 1:14:22
  >> Cameron: Again, we've seen it before.
• 1:14:24
  >> Cameron: We've seen it before.
• 1:14:25
  >> Cameron: We see gloves in the background, also looking scared
• 1:14:27
  after being afraid. Bill
• 1:14:30
  looks back at the bat thing, and
• 1:14:33
  he last thing he wants it to do is to
• 1:14:36
  follow his eyes out, right? Just maybe
• 1:14:39
  take out the weak mika, or take out Brock and at the same
• 1:14:42
  time. So he plants his
• 1:14:45
  feet at the end
• 1:14:48
  exit of this cave and he,
• 1:14:50
  he's got tears streaming down his eyes.
• 1:14:53
  And you guys hear basically this echoey sound
• 1:14:56
  as he yells, I'm, I'm sorry
• 1:14:59
  blaze, I couldn't
• 1:15:02
  defend you. Now it's my
• 1:15:05
  turn to defend them. And you see him raise
• 1:15:08
  his bo staff, high above in the air and he like lowers it as
• 1:15:11
  hard as he can. You guys hear a loud
• 1:15:14
  crack in this and you guys
• 1:15:17
  see a giant burst of
• 1:15:19
  flame go bursting out of Phil's bo
• 1:15:22
  staff, engulfing
• 1:15:24
  this, bat like thing. And fire. You guys see
• 1:15:27
  just this wave of fire go rushing
• 1:15:30
  out in front of him. And
• 1:15:33
  you guys just see him just like heaving as
• 1:15:36
  he's, just like holding the end of his bo staff. And you see a
• 1:15:39
  charred burn out at the end of his body staff.
• 1:15:41
  And as Bill sees the bat probably
• 1:15:44
  go falling with the blaze, he turns around and looks at you guys
• 1:15:47
  and faints.
• 1:15:49
  >> Mikayla: And that's the end of episode eleven.
• 1:15:52
  Dun dun, dun.
• 1:16:05
  >> Skylar: Hey everyone. Skylar, the game master for benders and
• 1:16:08
