SPEAKER_03: Well, welcome back to another adventure of the Verdant Awakening.
0:05
SPEAKER_00: My name is Chris.
0:05
I'm your DM for this adventure and around the table today we
0:08
have Azaya playing Soldier Novel.
0:25
Hugo playing Gabriel Brightwing and Daphne Claw Shadows is
0:30
playing Ruben and you'll
0:32
notice that Teddy is not actually here today although he
0:36
normally plays Thornsley
0:37
Shatter Scale and we'll explain what's going to happen in just
0:42
a little while but
0:44
SPEAKER_02: before we jump into that let's recap where we ended up last time
0:48
So last time on Dad's Dungeon Dudes our team braved the
0:52
treacherous Jade Spires and
0:54
they found themselves trapped in Silas the Glass Shaper's Hall
0:58
of Mirrors.
0:59
SPEAKER_02: and so they faced the most difficult opponents they've had yet.
1:03
SPEAKER_02: Their opponents were themselves.
1:06
So the flawless reflections that were generated from these
1:10
mirrors were perfect
1:12
SPEAKER_02: versions of themselves and they regenerated from every attack.
1:16
They perfectly copied every move and they anticipated
1:19
everything that our team did last time.
1:22
SPEAKER_02: But as we found out, this perfection was a weakness.
1:27
SPEAKER_02: And with this weakness, it was weak because of silliness.
1:31
SPEAKER_02: So thanks to Soldren's divine logic,
1:33
SPEAKER_02: our team realised that the mirror clones just could not handle chaos.
1:38
SPEAKER_02: So Gabriel did the gritty,
1:40
SPEAKER_02: Soldren did a clumsy chicken dance,
1:43
SPEAKER_02: Thornsley attacked a whole bunch of fake plants,
1:46
SPEAKER_02: and Ebonyclaw channeled a dog with 11 teen kittens.
1:50
SPEAKER_03: No!
1:52
SPEAKER_03: I chanted, I chanted I am a dog and I also was doing a really bad dance
2:02
and that's my point and so the sheer illogical sillinesses of
2:06
all this caused their
2:07
clones or their doppelgangers heads to explode and it shattered
2:11
the mirrors and it
2:12
opened a new path forward now the laughter has faded and so our
2:17
team stands at the
2:17
base of a massive sweeping glass staircase leading up to the
2:21
giant greenhouse and
2:23
where we left them last time there was a heavy thudding set of
2:26
footsteps of the
2:28
SPEAKER_02: alpha beast echoing from above
2:30
So you guys are level 4 at this point in tow The Alpha Beast is
2:34
coming down No,
2:35
it's at the top of the staircase and that's where you're kind
2:38
of headed but that's
2:40
SPEAKER_02: where you were Now,
2:42
SPEAKER_02: Soldren,
2:42
SPEAKER_01: you had your hand if you wanted to say something Yes I was just thinking,
2:48
SPEAKER_01: hmm,
2:48
I wonder what Alpha Beast did this this time I was hoping it
2:52
would be a giant,
2:53
SPEAKER_01: giant fire-raising yeti I'm just hoping it's not a tiger Or a Tarsac
3:00
SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness!
3:03
SPEAKER_01: A Tarstack Alpha Beast Why?
3:06
Which is actually really kind La la la la la and runs around
3:10
chanting Here is my
3:12
SPEAKER_01: handle,
3:12
SPEAKER_01: here is my spout
3:19
Alright so as you get ready to tackle this alpha beast which
3:24
you can hear is up the
3:26
stairs your party takes a long rest so you can long rest here
3:30
you'll you find a
3:31
little camp at the base of at the base of the stairs and you
3:36
spend a couple of
3:37
SPEAKER_02: hours resting there catching your breath
3:43
You have a proper long rest at this stage getting ready to
3:46
prepare for the battle
3:48
with the alpha beast and maybe Silas himself and as your
3:54
characters are resting I
3:56
SPEAKER_02: need to have a real talk with you guys for a moment
4:00
SPEAKER_02: So obviously today Teddy is not joining us.
4:05
SPEAKER_02: He is at an excursion with school.
4:09
And so Thornsley as a result is not going to be fighting this
4:13
battle with us.
4:16
SPEAKER_03: Let's just say Thornsley got hurt in the previous battle and...
4:22
SPEAKER_02: Well,
4:22
SPEAKER_02: what's going to happen,
4:24
SPEAKER_02: remember that Gabriel and Ebonyclaw and Soldron,
4:27
even though you guys who play these characters know that Teddy
4:31
is not here,
4:33
SPEAKER_02: Ebonyclaw and Gabriel and Soldron,
4:35
SPEAKER_02: they don't know about the school excursion or the school camp,
4:38
SPEAKER_02: and so I need you to use your character brains for this adventure.
4:43
SPEAKER_02: So, something intense is about to happen to Thornsley.
4:47
Now I want you to think about when this happens you need to
4:50
think about how you how
4:52
your character might react or would feel to about what has
4:58
happened to Thornsley
5:00
and so what we're looking for today is I want to see some
5:02
really awesome role
5:04
playing from you as your characters does that make sense no
5:08
well we'll see how we
5:10
go we do identify to see what Teddy wants you're about to find
5:15
out so Ruben does
5:16
SPEAKER_00: that make sense
5:18
Kind of Soldier Maybe as using her character name a little tiny
5:25
Tarzac just walked
5:27
up to us and said that is very illogical and then it just grows
5:31
to a massive Tarzac
5:32
SPEAKER_01: size and then like that is also very illogical also Otto uh oh
5:39
SPEAKER_02: So you finish your long rest and so your characters are feeling good.
5:45
SPEAKER_02: Thornsley is included in this and everyone is ready to go.
5:51
SPEAKER_02: So you're about to go face the alpha beast now.
5:55
SPEAKER_02: You're about to head up the stairs.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: How do we know about how to face it?
5:59
SPEAKER_01: It could just be something else.
6:01
Maybe He's the one who made this adventure so he knows So
6:06
you're about to head up
6:07
the stairs to go and meet Silas and the Alpha Beast and so
6:14
that's kind of where we
6:15
SPEAKER_02: find ourselves now
6:17
SPEAKER_02: You start your way up the stairs.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: Who is going first?
6:21
SPEAKER_00: What's the order that you're going to go?
6:24
SPEAKER_01: I'll go first.
6:24
SPEAKER_01: I'll go first.
6:25
SPEAKER_01: What was most hit points?
6:29
SPEAKER_01: I have 35 hit points.
6:31
SPEAKER_01: 36.
6:31
SPEAKER_01: I'll go first.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: Let me see.
6:33
I'll go first because I'm the one who could probably figure out
6:37
what the situation actually is.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: Who cares?
6:39
SPEAKER_01: No, it's who has the most hit points.
6:42
SPEAKER_01: No.
6:43
SPEAKER_01: It should be for highest initiative score No,
6:48
SPEAKER_02: I'd say Charisma Modifier Let's roll a dice Solvyn,
6:53
you had the control crystal around your neck so I want you to
6:57
roll a D6 for me
6:59
SPEAKER_02: please and just give me the number So I'm guessing 5 Okay,
7:06
SPEAKER_00: so of who is oldest between you and Ruben?
7:12
SPEAKER_00: Yes, so that would mean that Ruben is the older one.
7:15
SPEAKER_00: So in this particular skill thing,
7:18
SPEAKER_02: so the person who had the control crystal rolled the dice,
7:21
SPEAKER_02: which was you.
7:22
SPEAKER_02: And the way that I've divided this up is that in age order,
7:26
SPEAKER_02: the youngest has,
7:28
SPEAKER_00: because there are three of you,
7:29
SPEAKER_00: the youngest one has one and two,
7:31
SPEAKER_00: the middle one has three and four,
7:32
SPEAKER_00: and the oldest one has five and six.
7:34
SPEAKER_00: And so the control crystal now goes to Ebony Claw,
7:39
SPEAKER_00: which means that he gets to decide what order you will go in.
7:42
SPEAKER_03: I say,
7:42
SPEAKER_03: um,
7:46
SPEAKER_03: Hugo,
7:47
SPEAKER_03: you go at the back in case of a sneak attack Okay,
7:51
SPEAKER_03: I'll just load my crossbow You go at the middle,
7:56
SPEAKER_03: um,
7:58
SPEAKER_03: and I will go at the front Alright,
8:01
SPEAKER_01: soldier Suggestion,
8:03
I think the front should be the one with the highest movement
8:06
speed in case of a
8:07
SPEAKER_03: getaway I have 30 feet
8:11
SPEAKER_03: I've got 40 feet of walking.
8:14
SPEAKER_00: So what do you want to do?
8:15
I'm gonna actually let him go first and prepare like I'm gonna
8:23
let like maybe he
8:25
can prepare a spell but not actually cast it just yet like a
8:29
damage spell.
8:31
Well alright so we'll go Soldier first and then Ebony Claw and
8:35
then the Ranger with
8:36
SPEAKER_00: the long range weapon at the back that makes sense to me.
8:39
How can I just burn everyone's faces off with Sacred Flame or
8:45
just absolutely
8:46
SPEAKER_01: obliterate them with Guiding Bolt Level 2?
8:49
SPEAKER_02: Let's see what happens.
8:50
SPEAKER_02: So, Soldren, you take your first tentative steps.
8:54
SPEAKER_02: So, in front of you what you see are these glass steps.
8:58
SPEAKER_02: Everything in this palace, of course, is glass.
9:00
SPEAKER_02: And as you look up the stairs,
9:03
you can see at the other end of the staircase there's an
9:06
entryway and there's a big
9:09
SPEAKER_02: hall or something like that beyond.
9:11
SPEAKER_02: You can't quite make out exactly what that is.
9:15
SPEAKER_02: Now,
9:15
SPEAKER_02: as your boot touches the first glass step,
9:21
SPEAKER_02: you've got yourself at the front,
9:24
SPEAKER_02: then Thornsley is behind you,
9:26
SPEAKER_02: followed by Ebony Claw and then followed by Gabriel at the back.
9:30
SPEAKER_02: So,
9:31
SPEAKER_02: Sodron,
9:31
SPEAKER_02: as your boot touches the first step,
9:34
SPEAKER_02: there is this vibrant,
9:36
SPEAKER_02: natural light of the hall,
9:39
SPEAKER_02: it's a greenhouse above you,
9:41
SPEAKER_02: and it suddenly,
9:42
SPEAKER_02: that warm light suddenly disappears.
9:45
It dims and it is sucked upwards into this massive jagged
9:50
chandelier that's right
9:52
above your heads in the staircase and so the air around you
9:57
instantly drops into
9:58
this biting unnatural cold so you feel the freezing air around
10:05
you and it sounds
10:07
SPEAKER_02: like a thousand shattering mirrors is around you and it deafens you
10:13
SPEAKER_02: Jump!
10:35
Time seems to almost slow down to you because this is all
10:39
happening really fast,
10:40
SPEAKER_02: but there's no time to draw a bow.
10:44
SPEAKER_02: There's no time to sing a counter spell.
10:47
SPEAKER_02: You are caught.
10:49
SPEAKER_02: But then as this light comes down to hit you,
10:53
SPEAKER_02: Soldren,
10:54
SPEAKER_02: suddenly you see a blur of these copper scales right in front of you.
11:00
SPEAKER_02: It's Thornsley.
11:02
SPEAKER_02: Channeling the sheer speed of the wilds.
11:04
He doesn't run away He actually runs in he slams you out of the
11:09
way and he tackles
11:11
you so hard that to the glass floor Just as the light hits and
11:17
it hits him and so
11:19
SPEAKER_02: the beam strikes Thornsley dead center in his chest Now Thornsley gasps
11:26
SPEAKER_02: But at the sound,
11:29
the sound turns from the shattering glass into a kind of
11:32
clinking wind chime sound
11:34
SPEAKER_02: and you watch in this slow motion horror
11:38
As this kind of emerald and jade coloured frost starts to
11:44
spider from the ground
11:46
SPEAKER_02: starting at his feet up his body.
11:49
His copper scales are slowly swallowed and transformed into
11:53
this translucent jade
11:55
SPEAKER_02: kind of picture.
11:56
SPEAKER_02: His legs solidify and so on.
12:00
SPEAKER_02: But his eyes are still awake and alive and he finds yours,
12:04
SPEAKER_02: he looks at you and you see that he is not scared.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: In fact, he actually looks kind of peaceful.
12:12
SPEAKER_02: He looks like a hero.
12:15
SPEAKER_02: And in the last fraction of a second,
12:18
SPEAKER_02: he reaches into his hand,
12:20
into his belt and he pulls out a good berry and you hear clink
12:27
and then his feet
12:29
SPEAKER_02: are transformed and encased in jade.
12:32
Then he brings the Goodberry up to his mouth and you see him
12:36
utter an incantation
12:38
SPEAKER_02: and the Goodberry starts to glow with this faint pulse in his hand.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: Cha-clink!
12:46
SPEAKER_02: Now his legs are frozen.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: So then he looks over to Ebony Claw and then he looks over to Gabriel
12:55
Finally he looks over to Soldron and all three of you look at
12:58
him in the eyes and
12:59
SPEAKER_02: you recognize that his eyes seem to say goodbye.
13:05
SPEAKER_00: There's a single tear that forms in the corner of his eye.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: Cha-clink!
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Now his stomach is frozen in place.
13:16
SPEAKER_00: Then he flicks the single good berry through the air.
13:19
SPEAKER_02: It arcs gracefully and it lands in Ebony Claw's hand.
13:24
SPEAKER_02: Cha-clink!
13:26
So the glass jade now covers him right up to his neck and
13:31
Thornsley's lips still move.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: His voice sounds distant.
13:36
It's like it's echoing from inside the crystal and his eyes
13:40
give each one of you a
13:41
SPEAKER_00: final look and he says,
13:44
SPEAKER_00: save the forest for me.
13:47
And there's one final cha-clink And with that deafening final
13:52
crack The light fades
13:55
And the dust settles And Thornsley's Shatter Scale is gone And
14:02
in his place stands
14:04
a flawless and indestructible emerald prism Your friend is
14:10
frozen perfectly in time
14:14
SPEAKER_00: What do you do, soldier?
14:16
SPEAKER_03: Smash it open He just said it's indestructible,
14:20
SPEAKER_03: that's not possible Tell me how you would do that Actually yeah,
14:24
SPEAKER_01: true,
14:24
SPEAKER_01: since you said it was indestructible,
14:26
SPEAKER_01: it's not possible You can still try Mace
14:29
SPEAKER_00: Sure,
14:30
so you take your mace and you gingerly first tap because you
14:35
don't want to shatter
14:37
SPEAKER_00: and the harder you tap you see that this emerald,
14:39
this jade just doesn't even take a scratch and so you start
14:43
hitting harder and
14:44
SPEAKER_00: harder and no matter how hard you hit it is just left perfectly intact
14:56
SPEAKER_00: And so harvesting those tears,
14:58
SPEAKER_00: those pain,
14:59
SPEAKER_00: the crying that you make,
15:02
SPEAKER_00: you as the bard compose this song and you sing it to your friends.
15:22
The emerald frost has claimed our brother's stride He threw his
15:30
copper shield to
15:32
save our side He stands in silence on the staircase high A
15:43
frozen shadow underneath
15:46
SPEAKER_01: the sky Saldron!
15:51
SPEAKER_01: Get up,
15:53
we cannot linger here The glass is cracking and the threat is
16:01
near I hold his final
16:05
berry warm and bright He bored our breathing with his fading
16:14
light We lock our
16:18
SPEAKER_01: shields
16:20
We harden up our gates We will not break Within this emerald
16:28
haze The copper
16:32
SPEAKER_01: dragonborn Has closed his eyes But by our blades His spirit never dies
17:00
SPEAKER_01: Gabriel Aime,
17:02
let no more tears be shed We march into the dark where heroes
17:11
tread Saldrons stand
17:14
SPEAKER_01: tall,
17:16
SPEAKER_01: the alphabet draws near We pay our debts with iron,
17:24
SPEAKER_01: not with few
17:30
No time to weep Hold the line Thornsley brother Will save the
17:42
forest For you
18:17
SPEAKER_00: You go,
18:18
SPEAKER_01: Gabriel DM I want to go away from this so I forget about it Okay,
18:28
SPEAKER_01: Saldren Would this technically be all his hit points gone?
18:33
SPEAKER_01: So is he dead or is he frozen in stasis?
18:37
SPEAKER_00: So he is,
18:38
he has been completely transformed into this jade What if he's
18:45
unlocking his epic
18:46
SPEAKER_03: boon?
18:48
You only get that at level 19 Like does he have his hit points
18:51
or is he no hit points?
18:54
For all intents and purposes Thornsley is gone from this game
19:01
So as you wrestle
19:02
with this and you want to forget and maybe you shed your own
19:06
tear Silas the glass
19:08
shaper's arrogant voice echoes down towards you He says oh how
19:14
perfectly touching
19:16
SPEAKER_00: The messy little druid is finally perfect.
19:20
SPEAKER_00: He's preserved.
19:21
SPEAKER_00: He's flawless.
19:23
SPEAKER_00: I think I will make him the centerpiece of my garden.
19:27
SPEAKER_01: But you don't have one.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: It's made out of glass is what I say to him.
19:31
SPEAKER_01: Then shoot him with my crossbow.
19:32
SPEAKER_02: You can't see him.
19:33
SPEAKER_02: You just hear him.
19:34
SPEAKER_02: He's been observing you magically.
19:36
SPEAKER_02: So he laughs at you and says, well my garden is perfect.
19:40
SPEAKER_02: It doesn't have to be alive to be perfect.
19:42
SPEAKER_03: Yes it does.
19:44
SPEAKER_02: Now
19:45
SPEAKER_02: This is what happens,
19:47
so as you look down Ebony Claw in your hand you have this
19:51
gooseberry gooseberry,
19:54
no it's a goodberry and it's pulsing with this slight green
19:58
light so it's no longer
20:01
a goodberry but it is a goodberry and you're a bit confused by
20:05
what it is,
20:06
SPEAKER_00: good one,
20:07
SPEAKER_00: you're confused by what it is,
20:08
SPEAKER_00: what do you want to do with that?
20:10
I'm going to pocket it and put it in my inventory,
20:13
so Aldrin what do you think?
20:16
Um is um Silas um like could if I walked up to him with my 40
20:24
feet of movement so
20:26
Silas so Silas isn't in the staircase room you're still in on
20:30
the staircase on the
20:31
way up to the top Silas himself has been observing you from a
20:35
distance magically
20:36
he's not anywhere around you actually can't see him what would
20:40
you like to do with
20:41
SPEAKER_02: this good bearing
20:43
SPEAKER_01: Um, I will take it from Reuben and swallow it whole No Hugo, you can't.
20:48
SPEAKER_03: I'm pocketing it and calling it the Godberry now.
20:53
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: What does the Godberry do, do you think?
20:56
SPEAKER_01: Um, uh, gives me a broom?
21:00
SPEAKER_00: Well, you don't know that.
21:01
SPEAKER_01: Restores max hit points.
21:04
SPEAKER_00: Might I suggest that you might want to identify said goodberry?
21:09
SPEAKER_01: Actually.
21:11
SPEAKER_01: I'm just going to guess,
21:12
SPEAKER_01: and I'm going to say that this good berry,
21:17
SPEAKER_01: since it's growing like a jade colour,
21:21
SPEAKER_01: it could make the same thing happen again.
21:25
SPEAKER_00: Well I would suggest you cast your Identify spell on it.
21:29
and then i will tell you what it does or you can look it up in
21:32
your in what has
21:34
been unlocked in your ledger of legends and you can see what a
21:37
glowing heartbeat
21:39
good berry does yeah sure it's called a god berry now sure i'll
21:44
just do that which
21:45
one the one which does not require a spell slot so you can cast
21:50
identify ritually
21:51
SPEAKER_01: oh yeah true i'll just do that
21:54
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so you spend 10 minutes ritually casting it.
21:58
SPEAKER_00: Now remind us what identify looks like for Soldren.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: Is it?
22:02
SPEAKER_01: I forgot.
22:07
SPEAKER_00: Yep, that actually is your flavour to that.
22:10
SPEAKER_02: And so as you do that,
22:12
the ritual comes to an end and you learn the following things
22:16
about this good
22:16
SPEAKER_02: berry.
22:17
So the Glowing Goodberry,
22:19
now called the Godberry,
22:21
is pulsing with a warm green light.
22:23
SPEAKER_02: It's got a tiny little heartbeat.
22:27
SPEAKER_02: You realise that Thornsley,
22:28
SPEAKER_02: in his little incantation that he gave this goodberry as he was dying,
22:34
SPEAKER_02: He actually left a piece of his bravery behind in this berry.
22:38
SPEAKER_02: So in a fight,
22:40
SPEAKER_02: in the following fight,
22:42
if a player uses their turn to say one thing that they miss
22:46
about Thornsley at the
22:47
SPEAKER_02: character,
22:48
SPEAKER_02: or one reason that they're fighting for him,
22:52
the berry will give them advantage on their next attack throw
22:56
or their next saving
22:57
SPEAKER_02: throw.
22:58
SPEAKER_03: Wait, is it the person who's holding the berry or anyone?
23:01
SPEAKER_02: Anyone in the party can do that.
23:02
So as long as you are saying what you miss about him or think
23:06
about him or what
23:07
SPEAKER_02: you're fighting for,
23:10
SPEAKER_02: you will get that thing.
23:11
SPEAKER_02: So Gabriel, Thorsley just pushed Saldren out of the way to save him.
23:16
SPEAKER_02: How are you gripping your crossbow right now?
23:21
SPEAKER_02: What is Gabriel Brightwing feeling right now?
23:23
SPEAKER_01: This is what I'm doing.
23:27
My hands are slowly slipping out of the crossbow,
23:31
then it drops to the ground with a thud.
23:34
SPEAKER_01: And why is that?
23:36
Because I'm just looking back in my mind of what happened in
23:43
case I saw anything suspicious.
23:47
And also I'm going to eat the god berry after I do that No you
23:53
can't It's in Ebony
23:55
Claw's pocket Oh steal it from him No you can't It's in my
23:58
backpack Souldren Logic
24:00
doesn't explain why someone would sacrifice themselves like
24:04
that So how does
24:06
SPEAKER_02: Thornsley illogical bravery make Souldren feel do you think?
24:11
SPEAKER_01: Not feel but act How I'm like
24:15
SPEAKER_01: Nobody messes with us.
24:17
SPEAKER_01: Nobody!
24:19
SPEAKER_00: So do you think Soldren is feeling sad or angry or somewhere in between?
24:23
SPEAKER_00: Angry.
24:24
SPEAKER_01: Angry at whoever did this.
24:26
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
24:27
SPEAKER_00: Ebony Claw, you're holding the god berry.
24:31
SPEAKER_03: And I am the leader so I will march on.
24:34
So what do you say to your team to prepare for the monster at
24:39
the top of the stairs?
24:41
Cheese biscuits Eat some cheese biscuits Eat some cheese
24:46
biscuits,
24:47
they'll help
24:48
SPEAKER_00: Alright,
24:48
SPEAKER_00: so you're trying to cheer them up with your classic bard humour,
24:52
SPEAKER_00: trying to lead them into this battle.
24:54
SPEAKER_03: Sad bard humour.
24:57
SPEAKER_02: Alright,
24:57
SPEAKER_02: so you start then going up the stairs,
25:02
you get to the glass house doors at the top of the stairs and
25:07
you burst through
25:08
SPEAKER_02: them,
25:08
SPEAKER_02: you kick them open in fact.
25:09
SPEAKER_02: They burst open.
25:12
SPEAKER_02: And inside you see this massive indoor forest.
25:16
SPEAKER_02: It is beautiful actually.
25:20
SPEAKER_02: But it's entirely made of this sharp jagged glass.
25:24
SPEAKER_02: Now standing in the centre of this forest is a giant majestic stag.
25:29
SPEAKER_02: Do you know what a stag is?
25:30
SPEAKER_03: Yes, it's a type of deer.
25:32
SPEAKER_02: Yes, it's like a deer but it's got massive glass antlers.
25:36
SPEAKER_02: But you notice that it is suffering because its fur has been covered and
25:42
SPEAKER_02: transformed into these glass jade spikes.
25:47
SPEAKER_02: At the center of its chest
25:49
embedded deep is a glowing a glowing sapphire heart it's a
25:54
beating sapphire heart
25:56
inside the front or at the front of the stag the stag you see
26:01
you notice cries out
26:02
in pain and its eyes are wild with this kind of magical madness
26:06
in fact as you look
26:07
at the stag you see that its eyes are the same color as the
26:11
sapphire heart inside
26:13
it and it charges at you now before it does that soldier do you
26:17
want to ask
26:18
SPEAKER_02: something
26:21
I just blast it in the face with my guiding bolt For that we
26:26
need a roll for
26:27
SPEAKER_02: initiative So you see the stout crying out in pain,
26:32
SPEAKER_02: it's eyes are wild,
26:33
it's got this magical madness going on and it charges at you
26:37
and now I need you to
26:39
roll for initiative Finally I've been waiting for this for
26:42
years 19 Just wait
26:48
SPEAKER_00: So you've got 19 Yugo did you say?
26:51
Yeah Alright so Gabriel has 19 Yep Let me just add Gabriel to
26:58
the turn order Oh it
27:01
SPEAKER_01: rolled a 13 It rolled a 13 I'm higher than it What did you roll?
27:07
SPEAKER_03: Let me check what did I roll I rolled a 17
27:18
SPEAKER_00: 17 for Ebony Core.
27:20
SPEAKER_00: Soldron, what did you roll?
27:22

27:23
SPEAKER_00: Oh, Staggy goes last.
27:25

27:28
SPEAKER_03: Staggy McStagface.
27:30
SPEAKER_03: No, Soldron is in between me and Gabriel.
27:36
SPEAKER_03: Boom.
27:37
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so you've rolled for initiative and this is what you see.
27:41
SPEAKER_01: Is that a skip point?
27:43
SPEAKER_00: No, that's its roll.
27:45
SPEAKER_00: Why don't we have one?
27:47
SPEAKER_00: because you're not set up in here.
27:48
SPEAKER_00: And this is what you see.
27:50
SPEAKER_01: That's Teddy down there, right?
27:51
SPEAKER_00: So Thornsley is at the bottom and that's why he's covered in all green.
27:55
SPEAKER_01: It's a large beast.
27:56
SPEAKER_02: The stag is a large beast.
27:58
It takes up a full ten feet,
28:00
you know,
28:01
two squares,
28:02
or I guess four squares in this game.
28:04
SPEAKER_03: Actually eight because a large beast is ten by ten by ten.
28:13
yeah but it so each block is five remember yeah so that's four
28:18
blocks all right so
28:20
that's what you see in front of you so what I know already is
28:24
that large beasts
28:26
tend to be harder okay so that's what you see in front of you
28:30
you've got the stag
28:32
standing at the top there you can see it's got its sapphire
28:35
heart in the middle of
28:36
SPEAKER_02: it at the bottom here you've got
28:39
Gabriel Bridewing on the on the left or the west side in the
28:42
center of your party
28:43
is Ebony Claw and at the right hand side that is the east side
28:48
you've got a soldier
28:49
and I'm Habacus Teddy all right so uh Gabriel you are first
28:54
what do you do um I
28:57
will try and walk over to it okay yeah if you do that you'll
29:04
get crushed so let me
29:06
SPEAKER_03: pull that up I doubt that would be
29:08
so you can get not quite as far you can kind of get around here
29:15
you're still about
29:15
SPEAKER_01: you would still be about 10 feet away okay so then I want to no
29:29
SPEAKER_01: Hi,
29:30
actually I am going to say that I really meant it's about Teddy
29:36
E that he always
29:37
SPEAKER_01: tried to be caring for the monsters and I was trying to cure wounds.
29:45
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so you want to cure wounds on this?
29:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I can't make it.
29:50
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so do you want to do anything else with your action then?
29:54
And he gets advantageous You would get advantage because you've
29:57
done the good berry
29:59
SPEAKER_03: The god berry The god berry It's cold Do you want to attack it?
30:04
SPEAKER_00: Do you want to look after it?
30:06
SPEAKER_00: You just leave it?
30:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah Okay Alright,
30:09
so now we're up to Soldron I shall use my Ledger of Legends and
30:17
see what this thing
30:18
SPEAKER_00: actually is So you want to take a study action?
30:21
SPEAKER_01: Yep
30:22
SPEAKER_00: Alright,
30:22
SPEAKER_00: so your study action,
30:25
so let's just remind ourselves what the Ledger of Legends study
30:28
action does.
30:29
SPEAKER_01: It tells me all its weaknesses.
30:33
SPEAKER_01: But it doesn't have any weaknesses because it's perfect.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: Except maybe... Like all its traits and abilities and stuff like that.
30:41
So the study action,
30:44
so no,
30:45
your Ledger of Legends gives you a calculated strike.
30:47
So once per day,
30:50
if someone misses an attack roll,
30:52
you can get them to re-roll it.
30:55
SPEAKER_02: You as a person, however, do you have the study action?
31:00
SPEAKER_02: I can't remember.
31:00
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he has the study action.
31:03
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, study.
31:04
SPEAKER_02: Okay, so when you study him, you notice a few different things.
31:07
SPEAKER_02: It doesn't tell you everything about it.
31:09
SPEAKER_02: What you notice though,
31:11
SPEAKER_02: that it's going to be immune to poison damage,
31:15
SPEAKER_02: psychic damage,
31:16
SPEAKER_00: and in fact all damage is what you get.
31:18
SPEAKER_00: So roll an investigation check for me.
31:20
SPEAKER_01: You've got to be kidding me!
31:28
SPEAKER_03: Oh, I know how to beat it.
31:29
SPEAKER_03: We pluck out the beating heart.
31:35
SPEAKER_01: And me a six.
31:36
Okay so you see that given that it's a glass thing that it's
31:40
going to be it's
31:41
SPEAKER_02: totally immune to being charmed or exhausted,
31:44
SPEAKER_02: frightened,
31:45
SPEAKER_02: paralyzed,
31:45
SPEAKER_02: poisoned,
31:46
SPEAKER_02: it can't take any psychic damage or anything like that.
31:50
SPEAKER_01: Can it take radiant damage?
31:53
SPEAKER_02: You don't with your six you don't know.
31:57
SPEAKER_02: So that was your study action.
32:00
SPEAKER_02: What else do you want to do?
32:01
SPEAKER_02: Bonus action or do you want to move?
32:08
I want to say I was just trying to learn about this animal like
32:14
Teddy yeah like
32:15
Thornsley would have okay you'll get advantage on his next
32:20
attack all right now
32:21
SPEAKER_03: we're up to Ebony Claw okay I'm going to walk
32:30
I'm going to walk up to Hugo and then control him for 10 feet
32:36
then pluck out the beading heart.
32:39
I'm going to jump on him and pull his hair and then drive him
32:43
towards him.
32:44
SPEAKER_00: So how can you control him?
32:45
SPEAKER_00: You can't control him.
32:47
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to make him go like boom this way horsey.
32:51
SPEAKER_00: You can't get to the stag remember you're too far away.
32:55
SPEAKER_03: Yeah but I am on Hugo who can use 10 feet of his movement.
32:59
But he's out of movement No It's my turn It's not his turn So
33:04
we can move you along
33:06
Yeah I'll let you go right next to him I know I'm going to arm
33:13
it Then I will cast
33:16
SPEAKER_03: Shatter on the Stag and aim it for the beating heart It wouldn't do that
33:22
So cast shatter and you're aiming on the beating heart on the
33:26
green and you have to
33:27
make a constitution save of 13 on the 3d8 damage on a
33:32
successful set on a failed
33:35
save half as much damage on a successful right so he's so who
33:40
does that is it just
33:41
SPEAKER_00: so how many people are doing that con save just the stag
33:47
SPEAKER_00: The actual thing,
33:49
SPEAKER_00: how big is the event that you,
33:52
SPEAKER_00: so when you do Shatter So I'm going to make it in the center of him Yeah,
33:56
SPEAKER_03: and then I'm going to aim it for the beating heart Alright,
34:00
SPEAKER_02: so he rolled a 19,
34:02
SPEAKER_02: sat on the constitution save Okay,
34:04
SPEAKER_03: so I roll,
34:05
SPEAKER_03: I'm guessing,
34:06
SPEAKER_00: 3d8 then halve it So you do the damage of the Shatter spell,
34:10
SPEAKER_03: that's right But it doesn't do anything And then it's halve 11,
34:15
SPEAKER_03: so 5 damage
34:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so, okay.
34:20
SPEAKER_00: Minus five.
34:21
SPEAKER_02: Alright, very good.
34:23
SPEAKER_02: And now it is the turn of the stag.
34:25
SPEAKER_03: Wait, did it do anything to the stag or the stag heart at all?
34:30
SPEAKER_02: So, um...
34:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so let me describe what happens.
34:35
SPEAKER_02: So as your shatter spell triggers and it reverberates,
34:38
SPEAKER_02: you see the waves of the sound from the shatter move towards the stag.
34:44
And as it hits the antlers and the feet and the chest and the
34:48
rest of the body,
34:49
SPEAKER_02: the waves of the noise just kind of move over it.
34:52
But some of it reverberates inside the heart and you notice a
34:56
little crack
34:57
SPEAKER_02: appearing in the corner of the heart of the blue eye.
35:01
Too easy I told you I knew where to beat it and no dad not
35:06
because I looked at your
35:07
thing even though I even though now you think I did which I
35:11
didn't No I believe you
35:12
that's alright alright so now it's the stag's turn so that stag
35:17
is going to do the
35:19
following thing It's going to round me two isn't it If he hits
35:22
me I'm going to do
35:24
SPEAKER_01: my reaction as shoot my crossbow since it's still loaded
35:29
SPEAKER_02: So as the stag takes its turn, its glass nostrils kind of flare.
35:38
You can see in the sapphire eyes that have this maddening magic
35:42
in it because of the sapphire
35:44
SPEAKER_02: Nooo!
35:44
SPEAKER_02: Double damage!
36:13
SPEAKER_01: If it was critical success,
36:17
okay and so now critical damage is I'm getting ready It is
36:25
going to do So the
36:28
SPEAKER_01: damage it does is 1d8 plus 3 so it rolled a
36:37
SPEAKER_00: It rolled a 2d8 plus 3 which is only 12 So both of you take 12 down I was
36:44
SPEAKER_03: anticipating more like 15 Now I shoot my crossbow asthma eye reaction
36:53
SPEAKER_02: Hang on,
36:54
SPEAKER_02: at the same time,
36:56
SPEAKER_02: the stag,
36:57
SPEAKER_02: yeah,
36:57
SPEAKER_02: because you've prepared your crossbow,
36:58
SPEAKER_02: you can do that,
36:59
SPEAKER_02: but because the stag has had the space to charge you,
37:04
SPEAKER_02: you do an extra 1d6,
37:07
SPEAKER_02: an extra 3 of piercing damage,
37:09
SPEAKER_00: so it's the 12 plus 3,
37:10
SPEAKER_00: so it's 15 in total Wait,
37:11
SPEAKER_03: I'll give him Hunter's Mark But I have Hunter's Mark,
37:15
SPEAKER_03: don't I?
37:15
SPEAKER_03: No, I'll just give it to you
37:17
Okay,
37:18
so you want in your reaction,
37:20
so roll an attack roll What are you aiming at?
37:24
SPEAKER_03: You go, you get one extra D6 on 4 20?
37:28
SPEAKER_01: Not that Yep, that hits And do some damage One extra D6 you say?
37:38
SPEAKER_01: Of 4 Okay, I'll roll it here So 7 plus 11 damage at its heart
37:46
SPEAKER_00: So how did he get 7?
37:48
7 for the damage on this Plus 6 Plus the D4 It's a D6 And I
37:56
rolled it for it Oh so
37:59
SPEAKER_03: 11 No I had to roll it for you and I got 6 Oh
38:04
SPEAKER_03: Alright, I've got that down.
38:05
SPEAKER_02: That's fine.
38:06
Alright,
38:07
and so now it is Gabriel's turn and you are directly at the
38:12
back of the stag now.
38:13
SPEAKER_03: So is it possible to shoot there?
38:15
SPEAKER_02: You cannot shoot the heart from where you are.
38:19
because the heart is at the front of the stag and you're
38:23
directly next to Ebony
38:24
SPEAKER_00: Claw and Saldron is several feet,
38:27
maybe about 20 feet to the south of the stag for those that are
38:31
following along.
38:32
SPEAKER_00: Alright, Gabriel, what are you going to do?
38:35
SPEAKER_01: I will kill wounds on myself.
38:37
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
38:38
SPEAKER_01: I don't need to cure This should be...
38:41
SPEAKER_01: Guys,
38:41
this is just gonna be too easy Well maybe I should do Goodberry
38:45
cause that does 10
38:46
and health back but I'm risking it because I could get 16
38:52
health I think you
38:54
SPEAKER_01: mean...
38:55
SPEAKER_03: Oh 13 health back Hang on Hugo,
38:57
SPEAKER_03: did you do the advantage on your next attack?
39:01
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah!
39:01
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter, you got a success anyway
39:05
Heal We're going back to 36 Dad can I just say what I miss
39:10
about Thornsley right
39:12
SPEAKER_00: now On your turn So you've healed,
39:15
SPEAKER_00: any movement?
39:18
SPEAKER_01: I will move in front of it But then go backwards
39:28
SPEAKER_01: As much as I can because I don't want to take more damage.
39:34
SPEAKER_02: So you sneak past the back side of the thing.
39:39
SPEAKER_02: It provokes an opportunity attack.
39:42
SPEAKER_03: Because he moved in then.
39:43
SPEAKER_03: No, because then he moved out of its range.
39:46
So he has a kick attack,
39:47
which is just,
39:48
there's no bonus to this because he can't see it.
39:51
SPEAKER_00: So let me just roll a normal d20.
39:54
SPEAKER_00: Let's have a look.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: And it gets a 12.
39:58
SPEAKER_00: Does a 12 heat you?
39:59
SPEAKER_01: Nope!
39:59
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
40:00
SPEAKER_01: This is what it's like.
40:01
SPEAKER_01: It's like...
40:05
SPEAKER_03: But then he stumbles, then it heats your face, but then you're like...
40:11
SPEAKER_03: Eh, didn't hurt.
40:12
SPEAKER_03: So the stag,
40:14
SPEAKER_02: as you sneak around the back of it,
40:16
SPEAKER_02: does actually kick out at you and it doesn't,
40:20
SPEAKER_02: it just doesn't connect.
40:21
And so you continue to walk down and run down and you're now
40:24
standing next to
40:25
SPEAKER_02: Soldren with the stag to the north immediately above you.
40:29
SPEAKER_00: Alright, Soldren, your turn.
40:32
Hi Shade,
40:33
let's get this battle over and done with and I shall cast
40:36
Guiding Bonk Level 2.
40:37
SPEAKER_01: And it's wrong.
40:38
Roll on it at its heart attack roll attack roll does it always
40:44
hit no that's second
40:46
flame okay you have to do advantage though yes you can have
40:49
advantage yep i get 12
40:57
SPEAKER_00: advantage 12 with advantage so you've rolled twice and 12 is your best
41:03
SPEAKER_01: Wait,
41:03
SPEAKER_01: if it doesn't hit I'm giving the inspiration Alright,
41:05
SPEAKER_02: so what happens is your guiding bolts,
41:08
so at second level let's say you get five of these bolts coming
41:11
out from your magic
41:14
SPEAKER_01: symbol Do I do an attack?
41:17
SPEAKER_02: So what happens is you act with a 12 attack roll,
41:22
they all come out of you and it hits the stag and you're aiming
41:25
for that heart but
41:26
SPEAKER_02: it hits above to the side and the other side.
41:30
SPEAKER_02: One goes astray,
41:31
hits one of the antlers and one smacks it straight in the face
41:34
but none of them
41:35
SPEAKER_02: actually hit the heart because the 12 is too low.
41:38
SPEAKER_01: Would you like to do your calculated title?
41:39
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I would.
41:41
Okay,
41:41
if you mess with that...
41:42
Alright,
41:42
so we roll but now you don't get advantage.
41:45
SPEAKER_03: If he misses, you're going to give him inspiration.
41:49
SPEAKER_03: Wait, I'll give you Bartek inspiration.
41:53
SPEAKER_03: I'm giving you Bartek inspiration.
41:56
SPEAKER_00: Which means you add how many?
41:59
SPEAKER_03: Let me just roll one.
42:01
SPEAKER_03: No, one D6.
42:01
SPEAKER_03: Okay, so you've got seven.
42:04
SPEAKER_00: So seven plus five is 12 again.
42:06
SPEAKER_00: Still misses.
42:06
SPEAKER_03: No, it's 17 actually.
42:08
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you got 17.
42:09
SPEAKER_00: Plus 5.
42:12
SPEAKER_00: Let me double check what the old staggy has.
42:14
SPEAKER_03: Wait, no, it doesn't mean, no, you can save it.
42:17
SPEAKER_02: Alright, so that is a hit.
42:20
SPEAKER_02: So, then roll the damage, please.
42:23
SPEAKER_01: Eat this staggy.
42:24
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, 25 damage.
42:28
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
42:28
SPEAKER_01: To its heart.
42:29
So the heart now is mostly shattered and what you see is as
42:34
these bolts instead of
42:37
what it looked like is it looked like it was hitting the side
42:41
of the chest on the
42:42
other side one hit the antler and so on and the guiding bolts
42:45
actually went
42:45
straight through the glass came out the other side circled back
42:49
like a heat-seeking
42:50
missile and ultimately hit the heart exactly where it was
42:53
supposed to be bang bang
42:54
SPEAKER_02: bang bang bang
42:55
and as each of these bolts hit the heart cracks a little bit
42:59
more a little bit more
43:01
now we know why it's called guiding bolt heat seeking missile
43:04
it's guided yeah and
43:06
so and so you've hit a bunch of times the heart is is cracked
43:11
but it is not
43:11
shattered at this stage all right so now it is time for ebony
43:17
claw would shatter
43:18
SPEAKER_03: hit it from here
43:20
SPEAKER_00: You can make shatter just go in the front of it, right?
43:23
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so shatter, con save.
43:28
SPEAKER_00: Yes, I'm just rolling the con save now.
43:31
SPEAKER_00: So it's really good with constitution.
43:34
SPEAKER_00: It rolls a 6.
43:38
SPEAKER_03: Yes!
43:39
SPEAKER_03: 3d8 thunder!
43:41
SPEAKER_01: 16!
43:44
SPEAKER_02: Alright, so these waves of
43:49
You know thunder damage they they roll out and in fact they
43:53
start in the center of
43:55
the stag itself and you can see it emanating throughout the
43:58
glass and kind of does
43:59
these ripples but as each ripple passes over where the heart
44:03
would be the cracks
44:04
that soldiers guiding bolts have made start opening wider and
44:08
wider and eventually
44:09
SPEAKER_02: the heart inside the sapphire heart completely shatters open
44:16
and as that happens the glass around the whole glass of the
44:22
stag itself completely
44:25
SPEAKER_02: shatters as well and so there's thousands upon thousands of tiny little
44:32
SPEAKER_02: Little shards of glass burst out into every direction.
44:37
SPEAKER_03: Wait Dad, could I grab any of the sapphire heart pieces to sell?
44:43
SPEAKER_02: So let's just see what happens first.
44:44
SPEAKER_02: Don't interrupt.
44:46
SPEAKER_02: So these thousands of pieces shatter everywhere.
44:48
A million glowing pieces are going in every direction and they
44:51
start glowing.
44:53
and these jade glass pieces they melt away from the giant stag
45:01
and as you look you
45:01
see the eyes of the stag which were bright blue like the
45:05
emerald in its heart like
45:07
the sapphire in its heart the madness of that disappears and it
45:11
blinks a couple of
45:12
SPEAKER_02: times and it takes on just a normal looking stag look and as it does so
45:20
it actually breathes a deep sigh of relief now i don't know
45:24
what the sigh of a stag
45:25
looks like in real life but as a party you get to see that it
45:30
is going to be a
45:32
relief so as the glass then shatters it is replaced by a soft
45:37
deep brown fur of
45:39
what this animal would look like it bows its massive head at
45:44
the three of you in
45:46
SPEAKER_02: thanks it is finally free
45:48
SPEAKER_02: But then,
45:49
SPEAKER_02: as it looks at you,
45:50
it walks up to Ebony Claw and it sort of sniffs around him and
45:55
it's like he knows
45:56
SPEAKER_02: there's something a little bit odd.
45:58
SPEAKER_02: Its ears are twitching.
46:01
It can smell the magic of the good berry,
46:04
the god berry,
46:05
in fact,
46:06
in Ebony Claw's pocket.
46:07
SPEAKER_03: How many times do I have to say it's a god berry?
46:12
SPEAKER_02: And so it's smelling the magic of the wild.
46:15
SPEAKER_02: And so, that's where it's at.
46:17
SPEAKER_02: Now, Soldron, you had a question.
46:20
SPEAKER_01: Is this the alpha beast?
46:22
This is the alpha beast which you very swiftly defeated and I
46:26
didn't make strong
46:27
SPEAKER_00: enough,
46:27
SPEAKER_01: but okay.
46:31
SPEAKER_01: Well, normally with our last alpha beast, Teddy took it for a pet.
46:42
SPEAKER_01: But since he is frozen in stasis,
46:45
SPEAKER_01: Stasis Will we just leave it here?
46:48
SPEAKER_00: Good question
46:56
SPEAKER_02: So you've got a question about what's the Alpha Beast going to do?
47:00
SPEAKER_02: So there's all these shards of glass everywhere on the floor.
47:03
SPEAKER_02: You have defeated the Alpha Beast.
47:05
It stands there in the middle of this garden,
47:11
I guess,
47:11
this forest and this greenhouse.
47:14
SPEAKER_02: And what do you want to do now that you've defeated the Alpha Beast?
47:17
SPEAKER_02: It's there with you.
47:18
SPEAKER_02: It's obviously friendly to you now.
47:20
SPEAKER_02: It's still nuzzling at the smell of the god berry.
47:23
SPEAKER_02: Gabriel, what do you want to do?
47:25
SPEAKER_01: Um, I want to ask it, do I want to be friends?
47:32
SPEAKER_00: So it looks at you quizzically,
47:34
it sort of tilted its head one way and then the other way and
47:37
it just says,
47:39
it doesn't speak Gabriel and then it goes back to Ebony Claw
47:44
and it nuzzles into
47:46
SPEAKER_02: his head,
47:46
SPEAKER_02: into the god berry.
47:49
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to grab it and feed it to him Alright,
47:51
so you pull out the god berry and you can see it glowing in
47:56
your hand I sneak
47:57
SPEAKER_02: behind him and try to steal it No And so the stag comes,
48:02
SPEAKER_02: it sort of sniffs and
48:05
You don't know how you know this,
48:07
but it emanates this sense of a smile from it.
48:10
SPEAKER_02: It's obviously pleased with this godberry.
48:13
SPEAKER_02: So it opens its mouth and roll a d20 for me, please, Ebony Claw.
48:20
SPEAKER_01: Please.
48:22
SPEAKER_01: Can I assist him?
48:24
SPEAKER_02: No, I just want to see what happens.
48:25
SPEAKER_02: 18.
48:26
SPEAKER_02: And now roll an animal handling check for me, please.
48:28
SPEAKER_03: Okay, animal handling.
48:30
SPEAKER_03: I have plus two.
48:32
SPEAKER_03: Do you want something?
48:33
SPEAKER_03: Eight.
48:34
SPEAKER_02: Alright,
48:34
SPEAKER_02: so as you hold out the guard buried to him,
48:38
SPEAKER_02: you don't realize that with animals like this,
48:42
SPEAKER_02: horses,
48:42
SPEAKER_02: deer,
48:43
SPEAKER_02: big things with teeth like theirs,
48:45
SPEAKER_02: you don't hold it tight,
48:46
SPEAKER_02: you have to have a flat hand.
48:47
SPEAKER_02: And so you kind of just
48:49
try and give it to him to feed him and in fact the alpha beast
48:53
does go and bite
48:54
into it but it nibbles a corner of your finger and so you take
48:57
one damage as a
48:58
SPEAKER_02: result.
48:59
SPEAKER_03: Dad!
49:00
Nevertheless you watch as it nibbles this god berry and the
49:06
warmth from it seems to
49:07
really resonate with this alpha beast so of its own accord it
49:13
looks all three of
49:14
SPEAKER_02: you in the eye and then
49:17
SPEAKER_00: winks at you, which is a very odd thing for a creature to do.
49:21
SPEAKER_01: Ah, it's going to revive teddy, isn't it?
49:23
And so it turns its head and it walks out the door and starts
49:28
walking down the staircase.
49:30
SPEAKER_02: And you follow it.
49:31
And then it stops right in front of the glowing emerald prism
49:35
where Thornsley is
49:36
SPEAKER_02: currently now trapped.
49:39
SPEAKER_01: You want to eat them, don't you?
49:41
Then the stag lowers its head and it gently nuzzles its velvet
49:47
nose right up to the
49:49
SPEAKER_02: indestructible glass.
49:51
SPEAKER_02: And as it breathes out of its nostrils,
49:54
SPEAKER_02: where the stag touches the glass,
49:56
there is this ripple of this pure warm light that starts
50:02
spreading slowly at first.
50:04
And as it does so,
50:06
you see that the cold jade melts into this harmless morning
50:12
dew.
50:13
Ice from the inside starts to break away and thaw and all of a
50:19
sudden instead of a
50:20
green thornsley you start to see the green scales taking back
50:26
their kind of copper
50:27
SPEAKER_02: shape his legs,
50:29
his boots start taking the colour that they used to be before
50:34
the quarterstaff that
50:35
SPEAKER_02: he was carrying instead of being this jade
50:38
Long Stick Turns Into Once Again A Wooden Shillelagh-esque
50:43
Quarterstaff Shillelagh
50:45
Yeah And After A Little While Thornsley Gasps And He Stumbles
50:52
Forward And He Falls
50:54
On The Ground And He Catches His Breath And The Prism
50:57
Disappears Completely And
50:59
SPEAKER_02: Then He Looks Up At All Of You And He Looks At The Stag And He Is Safe
51:06
SPEAKER_00: And that is where we will end our session for today.
51:16

51:17

SPEAKER_02: the jade crystals that have been shattering,
51:43
SPEAKER_02: that have shattered on the floor.
51:45
SPEAKER_02: What will Thornsley do now that he has awoken from his deep jaded sleep?
51:50
SPEAKER_02: What was Thornsley doing at this time?
51:54
