Transcript
- 0:12Welcome to Dice Sized and welcome to Wishhunter.
- 0:16This is AD and D audio adventure podcast where we tell bite
- 0:18sized, dice rolled twice told stories.
- 0:21This is me, your DM and friend Robert Whitehead.
- 0:23And with me, as always, is my lovely table of friends and
- 0:25family here. We'll see how long they're here
- 0:28or we'll see how we of course, have George.
- 0:31What did you say? Well, I don't know.
- 0:35I'm not. I mean, I'm not.
- 0:36Hey it's GI think I'm here my my DM is possibly going to vanish
- 0:42me into a a void of. I was speaking out of self
- 0:46criticism. I was.
- 0:47I'm worried that you guys are going to think I'm going way too
- 0:49hard on you and that you'll just leave me at a table alone after
- 0:54I. Kill you all.
- 0:55The bane of being Adm No hey, it's G Happy to be here flying a
- 0:59dragon and Sauron behind a lot of of my beautiful friends that
- 1:05were about to go into battle. And Parable is a little nervous,
- 1:10not going to lie. Atop a dragon flying not ten
- 1:12feet above the ground. 10 feet 10 feet I.
- 1:15Have conviction, I there's conviction there, but I, I am
- 1:19looking into the scene that we are.
- 1:21I am 100% that fear of heights has fully shifted into the fear
- 1:25of what's in front of us. Interesting to think about.
- 1:28Like just in in the presence of a greater fear, the other
- 1:33becomes put to the side as it's no longer don't look down, it's
- 1:37no, I have to look down. There's that terrible,
- 1:40terrifying creature down there that screams with a metallic
- 1:44scream of star song and shifts through shapes before settling
- 1:49on one terrible one. I'm the tiniest meteorite.
- 1:53You are the tiniest meteor, right?
- 1:55I saw a shooting star yesterday. I forgot to say anything.
- 1:57Oh my gosh. Well, tell us about it right
- 1:59now. Hey, it's Maya.
- 2:01You can call me Maya. I saw a shooting star yesterday
- 2:03and I hope that means we don't die tonight.
- 2:06I hope you made a very quick wish upon it, but don't tell me
- 2:09because I think that means that I get the wish and I get to, I
- 2:13get to know and determine the outcome.
- 2:15So. Don't drink my wish.
- 2:18I just might. Maya sweating.
- 2:21Zinn also sweating. But her money's on Pavilion, so
- 2:24I think it's going to be a good time.
- 2:26They got this. They'll they'll be fine.
- 2:28They'll be fine. You know, I give Lamillion a
- 2:31little bit of guidance, a little bit of umph, you know, and, and
- 2:33Papaya, he can see through my brain.
- 2:34I can see through if anything happens, I can help them, right?
- 2:36Because I can see through brain. OK.
- 2:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got this.
- 2:39We got this. You, you feel you feel Papaya's
- 2:42head shift and that somehow just indicates to you like that
- 2:45questioning eyebrow raise and the spider just like this is my
- 2:48team OK? We got this, buddy.
- 2:51It's all right. It's all right, buddy.
- 2:52Do you like head scratches? There you go.
- 2:55But before we get to the rest of it, we got to get to my shooting
- 2:59star in life and the character who played the greatest shooting
- 3:03star last session, Savannah and Cassie.
- 3:07I'm blushing sav here. I am convinced that Rob
- 3:12strategically timed the recording of this episode to
- 3:15align with his birthday week, so we can't be mad when he does US
- 3:19real dirty. Real strategy there.
- 3:22It's not an unintended side effect, I would call that and
- 3:26not one that I'm upset about. I think it it's good to have a
- 3:30little bit of extra buffer between me and the feelings that
- 3:33might be had after a session where I am bringing, I don't
- 3:36think a really appropriately challenged rating creature at
- 3:40you guys, but that's this world because I have a lot of crazy
- 3:42allies so. I'm telling Cassie you said
- 3:44that. About the balancing of this
- 3:45fight, yeah. OK, well well my back pocket
- 3:48technique will be unplugging your mic just in case.
- 3:52So you guys just let me know. You are dangerously close to
- 3:55the. Right, right.
- 3:55If things go South, I'll just, we'll, we'll just.
- 3:57Unplug it. Yeah.
- 3:58Retcon. Yeah.
- 3:59What was the result of that third death save?
- 4:01What would you said? Nat 20 No one can hear Rob
- 4:04anymore. Robin's left the building.
- 4:06It was a NAP 20. No one can question it.
- 4:09Cassie sent Maya that shooting star.
- 4:14It's not for you, bitch at Rob. Points, points and and you know
- 4:22when they when you read in a. Book.
- 4:23An aggressive point I was. Going to say, you know, when you
- 4:25read in a book and it's described as they stab the air
- 4:28at you, yeah, that's, oh, that you stabbed the air you could
- 4:31like. Feel the air, she pushed.
- 4:32With her finger it got me. Right in the.
- 4:36Eye And with that, on to a recap.
- 4:41Last time, our wish hunters of the Third Well took to the skies
- 4:45to face their greatest threat, Parable Ulcer Briya Zen took to
- 4:50her new broom, and Cassie took her place upon Zephandria to
- 4:54guide their flight, leaving Gloom behind.
- 4:56Under Dapple's care, Lamillion and Vilano climbed aboard the
- 4:59Thousand League Cloud, which served as a dragon saddle.
- 5:03High above the shifting forest, Cassie and Zephandra's bond
- 5:06deepened, their songs harmonized, silencing all who
- 5:10heard them. In that moment.
- 5:13Cassie's knowledge met Saphandra's instinct and
- 5:16intellect and experience became one.
- 5:18Fate itself bent to their will for natural 20 became a portent
- 5:24of things to come from the air. Peril spotted the only constants
- 5:28in the ever changing forest, the river, and now the golden
- 5:32threads of the wish Drinker. Inspired, he turned to his old
- 5:36stone Brick. Parable saw something entirely
- 5:40new in Brick's pattern, cracks and symbols.
- 5:43Brickton just visualized the power bound to Parable.
- 5:46It visualized power bound everywhere.
- 5:50A sense of fateful calm stole over the party.
- 5:54That column was shattered as the Bush drinker revealed itself
- 5:58screaming in Star song. It twisted through forms before
- 6:01settling into terrifying new shape.
- 6:05Cassie urged Sophondria to strike, and the Wishragon
- 6:08unleashed her breath. Powerful, but not enough.
- 6:12Wishrinker split open, revealing the snapping jaws and
- 6:15crystalline claws of the great gilded beast.
- 6:20Bait had granted the monster many unwilling allies.
- 6:23Bait had forced those captured souls to serve.
- 6:27Bait had brought them here. With the word, Cassie rewrote
- 6:33that Bait, channeling her wish song, port and roll, she turned
- 6:36the tide. Instead of the great gilded
- 6:38beast emerging, 2 lost souls pulled free.
- 6:42Instead. We rejoin our heroes now as
- 6:46those two lost souls, Coin Bard and Sir Morris, Wish Hunters
- 6:50with the second well during the fight bound by Phaeton, forged
- 6:54through Wish Twisted magic, Coin and Sir Morris are now 2 souls
- 6:57sharing one form. One is the Bard that we met and
- 7:01came to know, and the other is a grim knight that you've only
- 7:03heard tell of Sir Morris who fights with righteous fury.
- 7:07Together they form a single combatant, a harmony of melody
- 7:11and might they appear as golden after images to one another, yet
- 7:15they fight as one as they appear.
- 7:17Sir Morris says Coin did you ever believe that we'd be out
- 7:20and about once more adventuring? And Coin says, well, I think
- 7:25Morris, you might actually be the only one that's actually
- 7:27technically out and about. I think I might actually just be
- 7:30a a ghost right now as he looks at his golden after image form.
- 7:36But you have another ally in this fight, and it is Zin up
- 7:40next. Looks like the cavalry's here.
- 7:44Yeah, Akuma, did you see that? Did you see that?
- 7:47I think it was supposed to be something bad and now I think is
- 7:51that. Do we know them?
- 7:53Yes, I think a good kind of destruction there and looks to
- 7:57Cassie with like a new kind of respect to having just seen the
- 8:01destruction of a singular moment to be replaced by another.
- 8:05Akuma's like kind of kind of crazy there, but.
- 8:08Yeah, I think she has maybe more power than she's letting on.
- 8:10I think that might be the exile, the one from your community
- 8:15coin. Yeah, yeah.
- 8:16So, so he's back. So he's back.
- 8:18So we saved him. So we saved him.
- 8:20I, I I. Knew so the whole time when he
- 8:22was being eaten by the hunger spirit I was like he's going to
- 8:24be saved it's fine we're going to save him you know so and we
- 8:27saved him so OK let's fight all right jin's just.
- 8:30Talking. To herself right now like we
- 8:31don't hear akuma so it's just like full on like in front of
- 8:34the group just. Hand the words you can't hear on
- 8:37over Zin's words are Akuma saying well you know, it looks
- 8:40like a ghost. I'm not sure if alive.
- 8:43The existence might actually really fucking terrible for him.
- 8:46No, we can't really just get lost in like the details.
- 8:48Like what For right now, I see him and therefore he's alive.
- 8:51So we should probably still fight the big thing, right?
- 8:54That's what we're here to do. OK, and imagine if you and Akuma
- 8:57had to share a body. Oh my God, like we don't
- 9:01already? He's like a roommate.
- 9:02I didn't ask. For this, the horror sort of
- 9:06stops Cassie in her tracks. Like Oh yeah, that would be
- 9:08rough. Parable also looks down like I
- 9:11don't really want to think about that.
- 9:15I think Zen is going to take a deep breath and look down on the
- 9:19destruction and all of the webbing and having just kind of
- 9:25bolstered and sent Pavilion on a mission.
- 9:28Yeah, yes, the search team, Search team Rescue Team Pavilion
- 9:32is ready and set to drop. So she's feeling like, OK, bases
- 9:35are covered, OK, but we just got a good guy.
- 9:38So, you know, things are looking up.
- 9:40We got this and she, I think is going to clutch her like Crystal
- 9:44of Rs. Yes, absolutely.
- 9:48For Rs Crystal, just imagining how like the last thing that she
- 9:52fought that was consumed was truly like something that was
- 9:58drinking the power of the wish drinker as well, like really in
- 10:01it and that she destroyed that. And a little bolstered by that,
- 10:04she's just going to say you have consumed more than your fair
- 10:08share. We've taken one of your meals
- 10:11once and we're going to do it again.
- 10:13And she's going to hex the wish drinker and give him
- 10:18disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.
- 10:21Fantastic. OK, Noted.
- 10:22And hit you with some necrotic damage when I see fit.
- 10:27Fantastic. OK, can't do anything about
- 10:29that. So what is?
- 10:31What is your hex like? Yeah, I think you know how like
- 10:34a jet engine, when it's really hot, you can see the like heat
- 10:37wave. Yeah.
- 10:37Yeah. So I think it's like a aura that
- 10:39emanates from Zen is like a heat wave and it just moves to
- 10:44surround. So it's kind of like blurs his
- 10:46edges. It's edges.
- 10:48I can't even give this thing a pronoun.
- 10:51Yeah, it's hard to tell at this point.
- 10:53This thing is more claws and chitinous armor.
- 10:57It's gilded form. It's hard to tell whether it
- 11:00could outrightly be even called a beast.
- 11:02It's leaning more towards like Aberrant Monstrosity.
- 11:06Yeah, so it just gets like, it's just hot.
- 11:10The light just got so blurry around the wish drinker.
- 11:13Did you do some things then? Yeah, I think it'll be easier to
- 11:17manage going going forward. Hands on hips, yeah.
- 11:21Puts hands on. Hips as you're going to turn to
- 11:22the party hands on hips you you feel it as the attention of the
- 11:27Bush drinker has been caught by that spell and it's eyes, which
- 11:32are these little sparks of flaring white hot pinpricks of
- 11:38energy amidst a a flare of shadow in prismatic flame that
- 11:45serves as its head and those pin pricks 0 in on you shifting
- 11:50suddenly you can see that this thing has noticed you just from
- 11:54the hex alone and. I imagine like turning around,
- 11:56hands on hips it I feel this prickle on my neck.
- 11:59Akuma turns around 1st and then turns around like oh I think it
- 12:04felt that. And then I'm just going to
- 12:06maneuver on my broom closer to where Pavilion is going to be
- 12:10descending. I want to stay, if I can, within
- 12:1360 feet of them. Can we say like team pavilion or
- 12:15something like team Pavilion? Made-up of Pavilion Million and
- 12:19Bolano. Yes, this is cement Porch is
- 12:22getting dropped into the jungle. Fantastic, yes, Team Pavilion
- 12:26then, is keeping an eye on the boys on the Spider.
- 12:29Awesome, fantastic. The boys, The boys.
- 12:31What you currently see is the edge of the cloud as they
- 12:34prepare to leap off and you can hear, but this is like I imagine
- 12:38at the back edge of the cloud so that the air is whipping around
- 12:41you and you can't really hear it.
- 12:42As in until you settle in and you get the little eavesdrop
- 12:45conversation between the million and you hear again Bolano saying
- 12:49horses that fly, my man. If you don't just look at it and
- 12:53say that it's a spider right now.
- 12:55I can't trust you going down there.
- 12:58You're serious. I'm swear to God I can't.
- 13:01I If you can't just say that it's a spider, look at it.
- 13:04Parable walks up in a straight legged walk with his hands
- 13:07behind him like all right men butt scoop position.
- 13:10Please assume we will be leaving and exiting the dragon cloud in
- 13:14T -, 4 seconds. OK, I fully recognize that we're
- 13:19getting on a giant spider. Spiders that fly, spider spiders
- 13:25that fly man. And he slaps him on the back and
- 13:28he says that's our squad name. Do you like that big man as he
- 13:31hops on top of papaya and he says spiders that fly.
- 13:35And on their turn they will be leaping off, and then you'll
- 13:37have a bird's eye view as they do so sweet.
- 13:40I do tell Papaya. Let's go position buddy seem
- 13:44like ball up like a spider can it'll again.
- 13:49Oh, thanks very much. Yes, this is.
- 13:52Not good. Quick quick.
- 13:53Now, what's the range on hex? 90 feet, girl, if you're going
- 13:59to tell me I'm not close enough. No, you're, you're girl girl.
- 14:04Yeah, as Stephandra dropped into 90 feet range, you cut in at
- 14:09that point and like dropped off onto your broom out of the
- 14:13caravan and are able to make that cast.
- 14:15Did you do the cast 90 feet and do any movement or are you just
- 14:19at 90 feet after the cast? I would say 90 feet and then if
- 14:23I'm going back to be within 60 feet of team pavilion.
- 14:27Good point, Good point. Dipping out a little bit.
- 14:30Awesome. You kind of do like an give me
- 14:33an acrobatic check. You, you fully succeed.
- 14:35We're just looking at the quality of the flight here as
- 14:37you reposition yourself to hold and maintain connection with
- 14:40Papaya. Moit team Yeah, you're flying on
- 14:43a broom for like that. You're we just dropped a dragon
- 14:46out of the saddle like a a bomb out of an airplane and now we're
- 14:49like watching Zen what? Skateboard out.
- 14:52Of the Air Patrol like you don't belong here.
- 14:54You see Zen Zen and with Akuma's help does a sick ass Kira slide
- 15:03and like like drift on the wind and with a little burst of akuma
- 15:07nitrous you are able to quickly redirect and reposition to allow
- 15:11yourself to maintain connection with papaya and maintain eye
- 15:15contact. With.
- 15:15So sick. Yeah, that's so sick.
- 15:18Then at the end of your term, before we to Cassie's term, a
- 15:21legendary action takes place. As I said, you have caught the
- 15:25witch drinkers attention and it acts immediately, shifting into
- 15:29partial cloud form. It sees a meal that might be
- 15:34most delicious a live 1 and makes for the skies.
- 15:40Come and keep me, bitch. Shit.
- 15:46As this thing comes up, it does not have enough movement speed
- 15:49to get to you, but it gets to nearly half of a distance to you
- 15:53immediately right after you act, and that is Cassie up next as it
- 15:56surges towards you. So as I turn around, it's like,
- 15:59whoop, already there. Like the shittiest game of red
- 16:02light green light ever. As your eyes take in the
- 16:06momentum of it moving up to you, it's not right in your face yet.
- 16:10It's about 60 feet away still, so it's still a distance, but
- 16:14the speed with which it moves as it shifts into a cloud like form
- 16:18and cloud steps. And that is Cassie up next.
- 16:23Cassie's going to use her wand of wonder.
- 16:25Yeah, that's my friend. Get it?
- 16:29Coming out of the gate with a tool of wishes.
- 16:33She has seven charges on this wand of wonder, so I'm going to
- 16:38roll AD 100. Adelante's Wand of Wonder a a
- 16:45magic item of note that you guys don't even know the full import
- 16:49of, but one of great power you raise this unique gnarled wand
- 16:55all. Righty.
- 16:58Fighting fire with fire, Wishes with wishes.
- 17:01At the 96, which means I cast polymorph.
- 17:07What? No fucking way.
- 17:13Yeah, targeting the creature closest to the chosen point of
- 17:16origin. I'm going to roll A1D4 to
- 17:19determine his new form the. Wish Drinker's new form sorry
- 17:23against the he's in the air the closest who?
- 17:25Targeting the creature closest to the chosen point of origin.
- 17:29OK, so that was the wish drinker.
- 17:31OK, so that that makes sense. But I will say I believe the
- 17:35polymorph spell mentioned something about an inability to
- 17:38be cast upon creatures that shape change.
- 17:42OK. Which would be the case for this
- 17:44creature? Hold on.
- 17:50But that's not to say that you don't have an option here, all
- 17:53right? I love this.
- 17:56You're right, I do. It's gonna go on to coin, Sir
- 18:00Morris. As Coyne and Sir Morris are
- 18:04talking about how good it feels to have a body.
- 18:06Oops, that's witchy. So, right, they share a body.
- 18:14Yeah. So that body is about to become
- 18:18a giant wasp. Suck a night wasp it.
- 18:27Can fly Fucking Beedrill, yeah. As you see.
- 18:31Fuck yes. You see, you see Coin Coin and
- 18:35and Sir Morris are having a conversation that I would
- 18:37imagine it's a little bit something like this.
- 18:39Morris, do you think we should fight the thing?
- 18:41Well. I just, I don't know how we
- 18:44could get up there. I mean, I, I, I win, Don't say
- 18:47those words. No, I mean, I would.
- 18:49I just wish we could fly. And Cassie.
- 18:54Oh my God. It's them, and suddenly they are
- 18:57a giant wasp. Coin responds Don't.
- 19:02Would you mind pulling up the stat block for a giant wasp?
- 19:05Sure thing. Give me a moment my.
- 19:07Brain loves today as a deal of human words degrading into
- 19:09buzzes but continuing the conversation.
- 19:11Like insect I like. Yeah.
- 19:14Wings, wings. I wish we could.
- 19:18Oh my God, so good. The Mind Theater is theater.
- 19:24Apply speed of 50 feet. Shit, OK.
- 19:28Wild. ACF 1322 HP strong decks and as
- 19:34an action they can sting. Fun.
- 19:38So sick as. Piercing and poison damage combo
- 19:42on that. A.
- 19:43Ding. This is the best accident.
- 19:49I would also coax Sophondria forward just a little bit.
- 19:54Awesome. How would you coax her forward?
- 19:55Probably just leaning in dirt to sort of give her confidence and
- 19:59reassurance that we can take take a little bit of movement
- 20:02forward, probably 10 feet or so. Ah.
- 20:04Star touched one. Would we?
- 20:07Align better with the stars here as she shifts to align with the
- 20:10stars, as you've pointed out, might help.
- 20:12Love it. Did you turn the wish hunters
- 20:15into bucks? I didn't mean to.
- 20:17I mean, you pointed your wand at them and now it.
- 20:22Terrible. I hate to say it, but we have
- 20:25Adelanto to think not to be a buzz kill.
- 20:32Studied. Yes.
- 20:36What the fuck just happened? You just polymorphed our two
- 20:40other Wish Hunter legacies into a bug that's now helping us.
- 20:45That was the farthest from what I meant to be doing.
- 20:50Cassie has no business with this one.
- 20:54Ryan looks at you I think as you have cast that wish and says you
- 20:57know, not bad for your first casting.
- 21:00Was it OK? Well I mean you even granted the
- 21:02wish that wasn't even just a random casting.
- 21:04I think he actually asked for that.
- 21:06That's surely that was a coincidence.
- 21:07No, I heard it in Star song. Didn't you hear it?
- 21:09You harmonized with the song that he was requesting you.
- 21:12Honestly, I kind of blacked out. I try not to play to request
- 21:15these days, but it's totally fine.
- 21:18It's. I guess beggars can't be
- 21:19choosers. Exactly right.
- 21:20If they're going to ask for it and they like it, then might as
- 21:22well. Jukebox.
- 21:24I mean, they're sharing a body. I figured it was the least I
- 21:25could do some empathy. You're coined in like a buzz
- 21:29buzz. At least they should tip.
- 21:34With that levity, it is Next up the wish drinker.
- 21:37No, no. What are you going to do?
- 21:40You're going to move. You're going to go.
- 21:43Play it at me, OK? Just because I haven't moved
- 21:46yet, can I pick my position where I am?
- 21:49Yes, absolutely. Can I say that I've hovered
- 21:53around Zen? Yeah, absolutely.
- 21:56Yeah. Just if we're all moving, I
- 21:57think when Zen move forward into cast hex, I think parable is
- 22:00just. Oh yeah, cuz you're in the
- 22:01boots. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 22:03I'm doing that awkward thing, honestly.
- 22:04Do I go into it? I go into it, go into it, and I
- 22:06go in and I'm like kind of hovering in the middle of the
- 22:08group. Cool, so you stayed at a?
- 22:0990 Stay in the field. You stayed at a 90 foot range
- 22:11and that means that you are 60 feet away from the wish drinker.
- 22:14And I should mention, at the end of Cassie's turn, suddenly no
- 22:17longer 60 feet, The wish drinker is 20 feet away.
- 22:21How did it move? It cloud steps up the sky as it
- 22:27shifts into an ephemeral form, and then makes these giant leaps
- 22:32and strides at the end of each of your turns as a legendary
- 22:35action. And sorry, Zen.
- 22:38Yeah, well, no, it's gotta be me.
- 22:39I hexed him and then she probably moved to WASP.
- 22:41But. Yeah, don't remind.
- 22:44Me. I'm still blacked out.
- 22:47As this thing shifts into cloud form and rapidly a sentence Zen
- 22:54give me a wisdom saving throw. This is going to be ADC 13 and
- 23:00this is a reaction this creature uses before it's turn.
- 23:05You get a + 2 to that saving. Throw.
- 23:06Was that your? Or of protection.
- 23:09I've been purposely following you like this or this risen.
- 23:11Wiz save Yes, as this Wiz drinker closes in on Zen. 11.
- 23:19Not enough Zen as this thing approaches at the end of its
- 23:24movement, at the end of Tecasi's turn, its eyes have grown so
- 23:28close and it has not looked away once.
- 23:32They flare and you see something in those depths, alien and vast
- 23:40enough to give you the frightened condition.
- 23:42So you are not going to be able to move towards this thing and
- 23:45you will have disadvantage on attacks against it as it zeroes
- 23:50in on you and that is going to be a 21 to hit.
- 23:55So that hits. Does a 13 hit.
- 23:59No. Good.
- 24:00Oh God, because this is already going to be bad.
- 24:03As one of these attacks comes down.
- 24:04You're also going to need to give me a Constitution saving
- 24:07throw. +2. Con.
- 24:10Yes. Do I need to?
- 24:13Fantastic, more than enough to save so your hit point maximum
- 24:17is not reduced by the amount of damage that I'm about to roll.
- 24:21It's not at all, not even half dam.
- 24:23No, you're you're about to get some damage, but your your hit
- 24:25point maximum is you would otherwise have this Foley just
- 24:29chopped off at the top of your health without the ability to
- 24:32regain it. Unless my inner light.
- 24:35This preacher slashes through you with these two attacks and
- 24:40that is going to be 12 damage. OK OK, that will actually be
- 24:46subtract 9 from that. Oh dude, if I'm allowed to use
- 24:50interception here. The power of friendship.
- 24:52I can read it too. Interception, when a creature
- 24:53you see we hits another creature within 5 feet of you with an
- 24:56attack roll, you can take a reaction to reduce the damage
- 24:58dealt to the target by one. D 10 + 3 Totally be holding a
- 25:01simple Marshall weapon. Awesome.
- 25:03Holding it so three damage. Yes, just three damage there
- 25:06doesn't even. Break my temp HP we out here.
- 25:10Thanks, friends. Bye.
- 25:12I think Zen, she's going over. She moves over to where Teen
- 25:16Pavilion is, and then all of a sudden, this thing is like that
- 25:18much closer to her. And I think that like, sheer
- 25:20surprise and like seeing the depths of the darkness in this
- 25:24thing is just absolutely frozen. That's a jump scare.
- 25:28What does the damage look like? The damage looks like at first
- 25:33claws that these gilded claws slash through the air and one
- 25:36catches Zen. But then there's also a burst of
- 25:39prismatic light. As you can see, like partial
- 25:43after image something has been taken from Zen or is tried to
- 25:47and then snapped back into you and your before and after image
- 25:52kind of converge upon you and you are once more whole, but for
- 25:56a second something really was stolen from you.
- 25:59I think she's frozen, has this like kind of shocked back a
- 26:03little bit from the pain, but then still just like just the
- 26:08darkness that she just experienced and just as rocking
- 26:11back and forth. Thank you, Piggy promise.
- 26:12Thank you, Piggy promise. Thank you Piggy Promise.
- 26:14I was going to say the interception, I think instead of
- 26:16trying to block the claw, I see it connect with you and I'm
- 26:19going to hug you around the middle, like jumping over a
- 26:21grenade and try to take it with you.
- 26:25I just need a big squeeze. Zen, no little arms around your
- 26:29waist. As you go to Hugger Zen, please
- 26:32give me one last Charisma saving throw.
- 26:35No. Frustrated by its inability to
- 26:38do damage, it uses an ability that it may not be able to use,
- 26:43a tongue, but it looks at you and suddenly the world begins to
- 26:49shift. And 11.
- 26:53And 11:00 will not save here, as all these attacks, all this
- 26:58attention, it was not the point. Terrible.
- 27:02As you go to hug Zin it is too late as the webs have been
- 27:07ascending as well and suddenly you are encapsulated within a
- 27:17golden prison and the webs grab you and arcanely put you right
- 27:24into a Demi plane made of golden light.
- 27:29I'm imagining trying to hug you and that's something coming up
- 27:32around you and taking you from us.
- 27:34I could, Heller tribute. Yeah, you could.
- 27:37Absolutely. Heller tribute.
- 27:38To try to break out. So you want to do the Heller
- 27:42tribute in response to that happening while you're in there?
- 27:45Yes. I I think so because as she'd be
- 27:48like trapped into it. The absolute extreme empathy of
- 27:53having seen through Papaya's eyes, of him being in there, but
- 27:58like had the sensation of being free and is now, like, feeling
- 28:01the sensation of not being free while also seeing the same thing
- 28:03that she thought. Yeah.
- 28:06And just like. I no.
- 28:07I was just going to try to like. So cool.
- 28:10So Dragon Ball Z, that shit, yeah.
- 28:12And this will be a duck save which you have disadvantage on.
- 28:16Since you're just in the STEMI plain prison, I don't think
- 28:18you're actually able to hurt the wish drinker, so I won't roll
- 28:21for the wish drinker, but you are, without a save, able to
- 28:25affect the prison that surrounds you.
- 28:27All right, that'll be 6 fire damage. 6 fire damage makes
- 28:33insanely strong cracks within this prison as good to know for
- 28:38a moment you see Zen shifted into a golden prison, and as it
- 28:43starts to shrink down to a point to be stored along the web
- 28:46below, you can see little bits of flame that start to flare out
- 28:51from the sides. And you could hear Akoma's voice
- 28:54almost like in No no, I hate, I hate tiny spaces.
- 28:59Could I just keep hitting it? I think it'll work.
- 29:01Will it out of here? Does this also mean that I'm not
- 29:06in the same plane of existence as papaya?
- 29:09I will say with that damage and because I was loose about these
- 29:12Demi planes last time, I think it is precedent that this would
- 29:15work actually. Same papaya has websense.
- 29:19And especially because Goodbye has websites, it's almost like.
- 29:21So I could still. Yeah, yeah.
- 29:23OK. I'll allow you to keep
- 29:24concentration on that. Although this is a Demi pointer
- 29:26prison, don't at me. That is Next up parable, as the
- 29:31wish drinker has done quite a bit in that time.
- 29:35Zen, where'd you go? No, the web comes up and grabs
- 29:38her and I look between Zen, which it's getting.
- 29:43She's getting pulled down, right?
- 29:44Yes, as scary. Scary, remember?
- 29:47The Zelda games. Yes, yes, that's what I'm
- 29:49thinking of. Yes.
- 29:50When you saw Prince of Zelda get taken by Gander, you're like,
- 29:53no. All right, ties in Zelda.
- 29:57Hi Rulian. Hi Rulian.
- 30:00I am really torn here because Parable wants to help Zen, but
- 30:05it looks like she's about to break 3.
- 30:08Parable is actually going to look at this creature, His eyes
- 30:15are going to light a similar golden color and he's going to
- 30:19just say no, and he's going to cast Bane.
- 30:22So sick. OK, tell me the deets.
- 30:24Up to three creatures of your choice that you see within range
- 30:26must each make a Charisma saving throw.
- 30:28Whenever a target that fails to save makes an attack roll or a
- 30:32saving throw before the spell ends, the target must subtract
- 30:341D four from the attack roll over save.
- 30:37OK fantastic. Cool.
- 30:39So you need to make a Charisma saving throw of 14.
- 30:42That is a nine, yes. Nice.
- 30:45So any saving throw or attack will you make best to have AT4
- 30:49subtracted. Keep me honest on that.
- 30:51I will try my best as well. And anything else parable.
- 30:54Yes, OK, I'm going to look at him and keep that glare.
- 30:58I'm going to hold my sword aloft and say not my friends.
- 31:00If you're going to hit anybody, pick on someone your own size.
- 31:03Cloud. OK OK, floating on my boots and
- 31:06skating parable's just going to use his movement to follow.
- 31:12Zim's dropping exact. Dimension, well give me a
- 31:17sleight of hand or a perception check as in starts to shift a
- 31:2414. I'll say with a 14 you have a
- 31:27decent idea of where Zen went and I would allow you with a
- 31:30turn of movement to get to where she is on your next turn to help
- 31:35her break out if that is still needed.
- 31:38Yeah, I think it kind of looks like that parable.
- 31:42Lie skating up, sliding and putting a hand out and baiting
- 31:46him with his eyes and palm, and then turning to Zen and
- 31:49following and like almost, you know, like a bird tucks its
- 31:52wings, my boots tuck its wings and starts descending towards
- 31:55Zen. I'm so locked in Zelda imagery.
- 31:57So as you've raised your palm, I saw the Triforce in The Cave
- 32:02earlier of truth in the middle, Justice and mercy and vengeance
- 32:06as a three pointed *1. Which one lights out this time
- 32:10as you Bane? At the top of the triangle, I
- 32:12think it's vengeance. I think there's a moment where
- 32:15he thinks it's justice, but he wants this thing to hurt.
- 32:17And he feels the point of that five horse glean and looks for
- 32:21his friend who's now been taken. As this thing screams in Star
- 32:25Song, another metallic roar that is going to be Next up, RYA and
- 32:31I think she will move to give a prophetic blessing here.
- 32:36And as she does so, she looks to Cassie and says seriously,
- 32:42granting wishes. I've learned even the little
- 32:44time I've had is quite difficult.
- 32:46What you just did sometimes right on the nose is exactly
- 32:51where you need to be. Having given them flying, she
- 32:55remarks upon just the strategic importance of that move.
- 32:59And she looks to you and says, I think it might be a little bit
- 33:03better if all of us could fly. And as she blesses you, her
- 33:10Angel wings, celestial and full pop out in full splendor.
- 33:16And that is part of the blessing upon Cassie, which is going to
- 33:19be 9 hit points are added to your maximum.
- 33:25Your maximum goes up by 9 hit points and you get that prophecy
- 33:27die 1D8 that you can add to any outcome that is an ability check
- 33:33or saving throw or miss on an attack roll.
- 33:36You can roll the prophecy die and add the number roll to the
- 33:38total, potentially changing the outcome.
- 33:40Wow, as Raya looks you and readies to fly.
- 33:44Incredible. Thanks, Raya.
- 33:46Yes, as Raya moves to inspire her sister.
- 33:51I think y'all are sisters at this.
- 33:52Well, feels like feels like sister vibes.
- 33:54Cassie's having this like moment of Is Raya suggesting that I
- 33:58should someday be granting wishes on purpose because that's
- 34:04crazy. Cassie still believes like that
- 34:07was pure coincidence. That was manifestation.
- 34:10The horoscopes aligned so that I was on a wavelength with.
- 34:14Give me an insight check, no. Jeez, 16. 16 is more than enough
- 34:19to realize that. I think along that line of
- 34:22reasoning, Cassie would at first be, yeah, maybe like alarmed.
- 34:25Like one day I'll grant wishes, but I think that you then
- 34:28realize to yourself that in a way Mojo is a person who grants
- 34:32wishes and so is the wizard fall.
- 34:35So is dapple on some well there. The energy of this world needs
- 34:41to be utilized for a good reason.
- 34:43If otherwise, it'll be utilized for a chaotic reason, Yes, the.
- 34:48Wheels are turning. Of woe or wish?
- 34:50Nah. Wouldn't you like to?
- 34:52Wouldn't you like? To know, wouldn't I like to
- 34:54know? And I think, as you say, that
- 34:59the wish drinker will use a legendary action to shift
- 35:03towards the cloud, and it is standing the thousand league
- 35:07cloud. Yes, it shifts towards the
- 35:08thousand league cloud. Leaving parable behind.
- 35:11Cloud V Cloud Battle. As Raya spreads her wings out
- 35:15and essentially announces herself and you can feel it in
- 35:20Star Song. It's similar to Sophondra as
- 35:23Sophondra of Roars as this thing it grows near but it's too quick
- 35:28as it zips around Sofandre as she says it's it's already
- 35:31behind me. Watch out.
- 35:33And it appears with a legendary action to land right in front of
- 35:38RYA and says sister, it has been too long, much too long.
- 35:51Has your time time? Has your time been as pleasant
- 35:58as mine? You hear voices beneath his
- 36:03scrambling to say similar things, other things, different
- 36:06things, delicious, as he speaks. I'm imagining it's like a bunch
- 36:11of layered voices. Yes, it's a chorus of voices.
- 36:14Discordant though, like nothing in interval or harmony.
- 36:17It's all just like overlapping. There's actually is a little bit
- 36:21of harmony found almost forcibly.
- 36:23You can find it at the beginning.
- 36:25When he speaks, there's discordancy, and then when he
- 36:28speaks it's like a as if he has a crowd of thousands in front of
- 36:33him that he whips simultaneously into position to almost
- 36:37synthesize tone. RYA responds only with that
- 36:43makes sense. I thought you were of time.
- 36:45He was a prick. That was my goddess speaking.
- 36:48He what? Same with your chest, says he.
- 36:50Was a prick, yeah. And he he probably is, as a God
- 36:53too. Time's a bitch.
- 36:55Zen is snapping her fingers and her little crystal web.
- 37:01As if it doesn't even hear or care about Rya's response.
- 37:04It looks to the sky and says do you think our sibling will be a
- 37:12whale? Looks to Raya or a whoa looks to
- 37:19itself and the wish fire flames of the head of Blair as this
- 37:23thing has closed in on you. That is corn and Sir Morris up
- 37:28next to. With a 22, yes that will hit.
- 37:39Stick it in and leave. Is that their sting?
- 37:41Roll the sting damage, Don't roll the poison damage.
- 37:43This thing is immune to it. This is echo night poison.
- 37:46Are you sure 3? 3 piercing damage plus 2D4
- 37:52poison damage. Unfortunately you don't have to
- 37:55roll the poison damage and the piercing the piercing damages
- 37:59have. We don't know if the they're
- 38:00poisoned. What if they're?
- 38:02What if they're an an ectomorph? Now polymorph just puts it in,
- 38:06turns them into a giant wasp. Right up a wasp.
- 38:09That's great. Up WASP.
- 38:11I think we can all appreciate the poetic justice of this, as
- 38:14that three damages halved and the poison damage doesn't do
- 38:18anything, so this thing will take one to avenge.
- 38:21OK, but it doesn't provoke opportunity attacks though.
- 38:25Exactly as the giant wasp view. I am trying very hard to be
- 38:30proud of my giant wasp accident. You, you hear, you hear the
- 38:33million say now that's, that's the style, WASP style in and
- 38:38out. And with that, that is our
- 38:43rescue squad's turn next. We'll be rolling for them all as
- 38:47a group. Who wants to roll their first
- 38:49search party roll? Papaya butt scoot position on
- 38:53the way down. As Papaya climbs to the side of
- 38:56the cloud and Vilano says horses that fly.
- 39:00Horses that fly. God damn it.
- 39:02Spiders that fly. Yeah.
- 39:05And men too. Let's go.
- 39:07And as they all jump off together.
- 39:09I've I've just had it in my head we can still use levitate as the
- 39:12action, but can we have them parachute down on a web 100?
- 39:16Percent. Paratroopers down OK.
- 39:18Yes, Vilano cast Levitate in the form of a spider web, parishes
- 39:22and Lamilian. You know yippee, Kiye's his way
- 39:26down there. Who wants to jumps?
- 39:28He just jumps. Who wants to roll for our
- 39:31beloved group of the squad here? This will be just a mechanic to
- 39:34help try to find Glimmer. We need a really decent
- 39:37perception role to find Glimmer's prison, and to do so
- 39:42you guys can either do advantage with Papaya and that's a + 0, or
- 39:47you can have Lamillion and Velana with a + 2.
- 39:51Advantage for sure. And they have guidance as well.
- 39:54So if we need it, I can roll that.
- 39:55With Papaya leading the party, as Lamellian says, yes, I think
- 40:00I'll know exactly where to go, Valano says.
- 40:02I think we should just maybe listen to the Abaya shuts both
- 40:06of them up. All right, who wants to roll?
- 40:08I am holding a dice that doesn't mean I want.
- 40:10To roll. My hands are so fucking clammy
- 40:13so. Are mine they're.
- 40:14Like sticking to the dice. I'm minor wet.
- 40:16I'm wet. 19 on the die. See, you just got to have faith.
- 40:21Yay. Fantastic.
- 40:23I'm going to save my guidance for them then.
- 40:26Well, don't save it. Don't save it.
- 40:27DM tip you're going to need. To OK my hands are so bad at me.
- 40:34That's a one. You're dirty.
- 40:36To win it the literal exact DC, Yes.
- 40:41What does this look like as the plan goes off without a hitch?
- 40:46This was 3 rounds to find Glimmer.
- 40:48Again. Your players don't know this,
- 40:50but as the million and Vilano and Papaya drop with Yippee Kai
- 40:55Yay motherfucker energy, you tell me what this looks like as
- 41:01they seemingly have success and you through Papaya feel the
- 41:05success as they drop and find the perfectly glinting prison
- 41:10which holds. To their discovery, I'll
- 41:13actually leave it to Zen to describe Papayas experience
- 41:15because she's so connected to him right now.
- 41:18But I'd love to think that Lamillion and Valano like Valano
- 41:23is like just distraught face. But the same way that parable
- 41:26said I'm continuing halfway through the flight.
- 41:28He just has a he's like just having a blast on the way down
- 41:32with Lemillion. That's my thought.
- 41:34I think Vilano does, and he thinks of Cassie last session
- 41:38and he says I'm a shooting star, I'm a shooting, I'm a shooting
- 41:41star, I'm a shooting star, I'm a shooting star.
- 41:43That's it, man. I'm a slap on the.
- 41:46Back wind blowing in the hair. There's just one chest hair
- 41:49flowing in the wind. As Lemillion slaps on the back
- 41:51he he like goes off and Papaya has to it's like shoot out webs
- 41:54to bring bring him back in as they all land.
- 41:58Yeah, you tell me what the Because with your guidance
- 42:00especially, and through the gaze of two minds Zen has, That one
- 42:06was really important. It was ABC 20.
- 42:08What does that little last bit look like as they see just a
- 42:12forest of glinting, glimmering prisons?
- 42:15What draws them to the one they need to find?
- 42:19You let me know if I can get away with this.
- 42:22But I say, I say I imagine Zen's perception through Papaya's eyes
- 42:31is not crystal clear right now, even though, like, we're
- 42:34technically in the same plane or like we're we're boxing with
- 42:37that. I feel like it's still a little
- 42:39bit like coming through water in a way, Yeah.
- 42:42Cracked glass. But because she's in the web, I
- 42:46think has like a feeling, just a feeling of like it's right
- 42:50there. Cool.
- 42:52You went in to get the Yeah. Yeah.
- 42:55Enemy line. Like I knew I felt I was like
- 42:57OK, like they're safe. I felt like the a warm safety
- 43:01feeling. But then like just projecting
- 43:03her like this is where? Glimmer, just for RP could like
- 43:06it because I'm imagining the whole forest canopy is covered
- 43:10in spider web, right? Yeah.
- 43:11Like as you feel that a little bit of a hole opens up on the
- 43:16top of the canopy where they could shoot through to the
- 43:18bottom. And I think in again, let me
- 43:22know if I can play with this. But like almost like lighting up
- 43:26the node that glimmers in for Papaya to see.
- 43:31And then she also makes hers just start to blink.
- 43:33Not like a come get me, but like a I'm here, go to this one.
- 43:37This one's brighter, Go here. But like, don't forgive me.
- 43:39Maybe if this succeeds, maybe come get me.
- 43:41But like go here. I imagine it almost accidentally
- 43:44because you, you burst out with flame, right?
- 43:47So it's like eking out of this, this, this prison and it like
- 43:51accidentally tendrils down the web, burns a little hole in the
- 43:55canopy and likes and points a flaming direction to the
- 43:58closest, thickest node. Oh.
- 43:59My gosh. Yeah, I think that is exactly
- 44:01what happens as you are forced into a situation where you are
- 44:06imprisoned, you are held once more.
- 44:08And it is very akin to the day of your promising, the day when
- 44:12you were told you were in exile and outcast, a thing so terrible
- 44:17that you had to be hidden and locked away.
- 44:20And you are once more. And as your flames burst out of
- 44:23you, instinctively it is unable to holy crack and break your
- 44:27prison. But those flames you do notice
- 44:32kind of get sucked into the low point where it connects to the
- 44:35crystalline webbing and pull along and, and as you see that
- 44:38you can channel your flames into it, you set beacons for yourself
- 44:42and feeling Glimmer along the web and just feeling that wow,
- 44:47they really are identical twin dragon hatchets.
- 44:50You feel Glimmer like you felt Gloom, luckily Gloom when he
- 44:55shared that dream. You realize now that the reason
- 44:57he did it was if you find my brother, he feels like this.
- 45:01And as you are reminded and here crap.
- 45:05What is Glimmer's draconic name that you hear within your mind?
- 45:12Guimo. Guimo, Guimo.
- 45:16I love it, Guimo. Guimo and grata.
- 45:21Yeah. Yeah, that's so good.
- 45:24I love it and you have found Glimmer AKA Guimon.
- 45:28That is some great stuff. And Next up, before we get to
- 45:31the top of the order, something happens.
- 45:32No. Does anybody want to roll that
- 45:35D8 me or I'm happy to? What was it for again?
- 45:39This will just be a random effect.
- 45:42This isn't a layer action, this isn't anything.
- 45:44This is more of AI. Don't.
- 45:47Do it do. It regional response to a world
- 45:50that has so much rampant wish energies, something might occur
- 45:53when much is let loose between the powers that be. 8 Eight.
- 45:59Wow, I was really hoping for this 10.
- 46:02Nice, who is this for manifesting?
- 46:04Wait. Good for us, a good for you.
- 46:05It's like a wild magic vibe. As the wanderlust tide has
- 46:10arrived. Hello.
- 46:12No, you the more the barrier, the.
- 46:14Guys are caught at the just the edge of an actual storm that
- 46:19sweeps through the valley, displacing everything and
- 46:24everyone as it shifts through you.
- 46:27It's like you guys are all timeless for a moment and the
- 46:30world stutters. All of you, please re roll your
- 46:35initiatives. Everyone's an initiative at the
- 46:38top of this round. What so it's it might not be
- 46:42some Andrea going up next. 10 for Cassie. 19 for Zen.
- 46:47It's a 13 for parable. So immediately after I roll
- 46:55initiative, I can swap my initiative with the initiative?
- 46:57One of your willing allies in the same combat.
- 47:00You have the alert feat? Uh huh.
- 47:02Yeah, absolutely. It's giving me plus.
- 47:03Three this whole time, but I also just noticed that it has
- 47:05initiative swap. I have 19 I just if you want to
- 47:09go first parable. I mean.
- 47:11I'm in a web SO. I would love for you to do it,
- 47:14but who would we want? We had Siphandra on the top of
- 47:16the initiador. I think we'd want Siphandra to
- 47:18go next. To go next.
- 47:19So if you have a 19, what is? Yeah.
- 47:23Siphandra will go right before or after a pair.
- 47:26Can I give her my 19? Oh yeah, if you want to, I'll.
- 47:29Swap with her. Awesome, so you will take a 13
- 47:32instead? Yep.
- 47:34Nice. Right in the middle, together,
- 47:36digging. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 47:38I read that earlier and I was like, that's fucking weird.
- 47:41And then I was like, but we already rolled in this shit.
- 47:43Wop, wop. Turns out wild magic.
- 47:47Fish. Magic.
- 47:48What does your alert swap it look like?
- 47:51Like how? How do you give Saphandria a
- 47:54more advantageous positioning? I think I just try to reach out
- 47:59to her and be like, leave me, go, like I've got this.
- 48:03Just you go. Again, telling Siphandra to
- 48:07trust her instincts and just fight as all of you are just
- 48:10suddenly off of her back and she doesn't know when the astral
- 48:13tide will stop and who still has mechanisms of flying and
- 48:16suddenly doesn't have to care as she is still just in the fight.
- 48:21That is indeed Siphandria up next.
- 48:25Nice. Good job, Zen.
- 48:28What is that? Yeah.
- 48:29Does that look like physically like anything out of the space
- 48:32or is it just the? Voice, I think it's a vibe and I
- 48:34think like within being in the the webbing, I imagine like she
- 48:42didn't go anywhere, she didn't move anywhere.
- 48:44The time just shifted. So I think she's just kind of
- 48:46like sitting there, like meditating, I guess.
- 48:49Like being in a cabin during a storm.
- 48:50Like the least affected. And just kind of like, man, I
- 48:53hope that Stuffy just really knows one good out.
- 48:56There just, well, and having gays of two minds with papaya
- 49:00when papaya was breaking out, you probably know that you're
- 49:03not far from breaking out. Yeah, just got to bring a little
- 49:05bit of a calm, I feel like. Like Zen's a little bit in like
- 49:08an HQ right now. Like, you know, the guy living
- 49:11this way are. You actually like taking your
- 49:13time right now. You're like, you know what?
- 49:15This. Is I was actually considering
- 49:16doing an esoteric right while sitting here, so maybe I was
- 49:21going to do a little rituals. And comes out for.
- 49:23The first time ever since that's what.
- 49:25Yeah, she's just like an excuse to sit the fuck down.
- 49:29I'm not close. I'll update my list.
- 49:32Yeah, don't mind if I do. You're the exact hammock, just
- 49:37your feet up. Oh well.
- 49:38I've got it. Little do you know, we're about
- 49:41to die. Tafandra trust her instincts and
- 49:45dives in with some attacks here. That will be two claw attacks
- 49:50and one bite attack and a natural 1.
- 49:55Yes. Crit on.
- 49:57We love to see it. A2 will not hit on the claw and
- 50:04she's she's gonna, she's gonna. Boldness.
- 50:08She's gonna save it on this one. You.
- 50:09Told me to remind you. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
- 50:12thank you. And an 18 will also hit here.
- 50:16So as Saphandra spikes with both claw and tooth, she will do just
- 50:2216 damage with the claws, but with the crit she will do 38
- 50:27damage as she bites down. What does?
- 50:30That look like. I will say that 6 of it is
- 50:33radiant damage and so that actually heals the witch
- 50:36drinker. So we do drop from confirmed.
- 50:40Sucks. 36 to 30. Yes, 36 to 30 as darn, yes.
- 50:46So we do drop a little bit in damage, but that is quite, quite
- 50:51a hit. That's a hit.
- 50:53It's awesome. 300 feet in the air, these two wishborn entities
- 50:57clash as Saphandra has fully like wrapped her tail around the
- 51:02wish drinker and somehow has a tangible touch upon its essence
- 51:06and is able to bite into it and claw down.
- 51:09And these attacks hurt. Does it bleed?
- 51:13It's bleeds prismatic light. It's leaking.
- 51:19It's so bright turn my eyes not. Belong and unfortunately with
- 51:23that initiative rolls, it is back to the Whisperinger and it
- 51:27is immediately able to retaliate.
- 51:31That is also something that happened on Initiative 20, which
- 51:34is also going to be a roll that I need.
- 51:37Give me ADA 3 I only rolled one here so that will just be one
- 51:47giant bore that has the wish drinker is fighting just kind of
- 51:51mitosis splits from its side and.
- 51:55In the air. Yes, it like it's squeakly no.
- 51:58Because otherwise it's hurtling towards the end.
- 52:01Yes, exactly. OK, OK.
- 52:03Just. Making sure.
- 52:04I'm imagining the dragon asping down with these giant claws and
- 52:08this bore oozes out of the other end.
- 52:11Like when you eat an Ice Cream Sandwich and that.
- 52:13Comes. On the side.
- 52:15And with that layer action, as this bore appears in a role for
- 52:19its initiative, this bore thing, I'm trying to decide if it's
- 52:24able to interact with. No, it's just going to hurdle.
- 52:26It's just the ground. Yeah, it's just hurdling towards
- 52:29the ground. It is in no way.
- 52:30Yeah, no. And as not all of the creatures
- 52:36that it has are perfectly weird for the scenario, it's.
- 52:39Got a safety net? It's gonna fall on the web.
- 52:41Let's hope. Don't tell him that.
- 52:44So that occurs on Initiative 20 and with the wish drinker's
- 52:47turn. All right, taking this very
- 52:53seriously. Very scary.
- 52:56And with the wish drinker's turn, I think the wish drinker
- 52:59will retaliate immediately against Saphandria.
- 53:05So with the first attack that will hit against Stephandria,
- 53:07that is a 24 to hit, that'll be 17 damage to Stephandria.
- 53:17And on top of that, as she roars, she'll need to make a
- 53:20Constitution saving throw here. She's roaring a hangnail.
- 53:25We will see about that she does save against her hit point total
- 53:29being reduced, but this time instead of using the Prismatic
- 53:33imprisonment ability, this wish drinker will use hits drink wish
- 53:38ability. She's like a bond.
- 53:41The Wish Drinker targets a creature that has the
- 53:43Incapacitated condition or a creature that is currently being
- 53:48grappled by the Wish Drinker and is not a constructor in debt.
- 53:52Though Sapandra is going to be now be making a Christmas it can
- 53:55throw. He's got it +2.
- 53:59That is a three on the die. I don't think the +2 will help,
- 54:03and I failed to say the target takes 8D8A chronic damage, so
- 54:07that'll be 40 damage. And I got a roll D6 here, just a
- 54:12one on the die. Which is great because that 40A
- 54:14chronic damage hurts. But her Charisma score is also
- 54:17reduced by a full one point this time, Saphandra.
- 54:21When she's struck in that golden after image that's pushed out of
- 54:25her, it doesn't return. It is siphoned away into the
- 54:28wish drinker as he feeds on Sophondria.
- 54:34Grossed how? Dare he?
- 54:36Does it look like for him to just bite her back?
- 54:40You can see at first that claw sinks in, and then like the
- 54:45roots of a tree, begin to grow along the veins of Sophondria's
- 54:49body. And you can see writhing beneath
- 54:52her skin, claws of the Wish drinker that just course
- 54:58throughout her flesh, sucking and draining the life at any
- 55:03point that they touch. That will also feed the wish
- 55:07drinker by 40 points of healing as it grows to match the damage
- 55:15that it has done. And as these two Titans clash,
- 55:20all of you dispersed and displaced upon that cloud in the
- 55:23air. Except for Zen, that is.
- 55:25You up next. So I think as Zen is sitting
- 55:29here, Zen is like looking at the cracks and it's like, OK, you
- 55:33know, seeing where she could break it apart.
- 55:37And it's just like, I need to help them.
- 55:38I need to help them. I need to help them, Akuma.
- 55:42I I think I need your help Akuma.
- 55:47What can I do against power like this?
- 55:50Akuma seems to be like cowering a little bit.
- 55:52Yeah, it's big and it's scary. We're going to be OK.
- 55:57I need help. Less fighting that thing and
- 56:00more about releasing a thing for myself, OK?
- 56:04Yes, yes. Do you remember when we when we
- 56:07were at the gleaning and we touched the thing and then like,
- 56:09yes. So I kind of just been like
- 56:11holding that down for help. Can you just tell me it's going
- 56:15to be OK? I know that I've been a lot, but
- 56:21you've done everything to take care of me since the day you
- 56:26said yes. And I told you that if you said
- 56:30yes, everything would be OK and that we would change the world.
- 56:36So fuck yeah, everything's OK and we're going to change the
- 56:40fucking world. We're going to change the
- 56:41fucking world. Just looking at each other, you
- 56:49and your smoky little guy, my. Smoky little guy and I am going
- 56:56to use the charm of the third well and summon a hell hound.
- 57:02I will say that your hell hound doesn't have a flying speed.
- 57:07Well, OK, wait, pause. Then what would nightmare be?
- 57:11A nightmare like a horse. Nightmares have 90 feet of
- 57:15flying speed. Can I still look like a wolf?
- 57:19Fuck yeah, I can look like whatever you want it to be.
- 57:21It's just a step. Lock and I'm gonna summon a
- 57:23nightmare. So fucking sick.
- 57:27You're just my smoky little guy. And another This smoky little
- 57:32guy appears outside of the web 60 feet from me, and it will
- 57:36take its turn directly after mine.
- 57:38So sick. I will also allow that to be
- 57:41akuma if you want it to be. Yeah, I think yeah, yeah.
- 57:47Could he like, squeak out between the little cracks?
- 57:49Like if he's just smoke? 110%.
- 57:52Yeah, and then just like you're right.
- 57:54You got this, buddy. Like I, I, I imagine Zen is
- 57:58like, we were working like truly together in this moment and
- 58:03leaning into the help that she's received from Akuma back on
- 58:07promise day. And it's just like, give it your
- 58:09all buddy. It turns him into a.
- 58:12What are you imagining? Because it.
- 58:14Doesn't have to be a hound. It can be whatever, Steve.
- 58:17No, it's it's definitely like hound like, but it's it's just a
- 58:20smoky cloud. I imagine because Kuma is kind
- 58:23of like made of smoke that's kind of like coalescing all
- 58:26together. It's just that but a like a
- 58:30smoke cloud, but it's like wind is going perfectly enough like
- 58:35contour the. Well see like smoky claws come
- 58:40out of this crack and then a like a smoky dragon hound head
- 58:44reach out and rear out like with a snake slash hound face.
- 58:47Just trying to squeak. Through the track.
- 58:49So good. Giant smoky wolf.
- 58:52Fantastic as you make akuma take the shape of a massive, giant
- 58:58smoky wolf, one fit enough to be a flying steed does.
- 59:03It have wings or just float? Smoky Smoky.
- 59:07So Akuma is going to go and just try to hit with the melee
- 59:12attack. Fantastic.
- 59:14Hit at your prison or hit at the witch drinker.
- 59:18How far away 90 feet flying I could get there.
- 59:21You could make it to either. OK, then I'm going to have the
- 59:25nightmare attack the webbing to Get Me Out.
- 59:29Fantastic. As you do so, it will make a
- 59:33attack here. Do you want to roll that or
- 59:35should I? I'll roll it.
- 59:38Cool, that'll be +6 to hit here. Nice.
- 59:41I'll roll my alkuma die. Does the 21 hit the?
- 59:4721 will definitely hit and looks like that'll be two D8 and 3D6.
- 59:53Wow. Bludgeoning and fire damage.
- 59:58Tell me what the two D 8 is first. 12.
- 1:00:01That will be doubled to 24. So the fire damage is just for
- 1:00:04flash and style as bludgeoning damage is a vulnerability of
- 1:00:08these glass like prisons and you break three on the first stamp
- 1:00:14and suddenly you are of a size standing next to your flaming
- 1:00:20wolf like lupine steed that is akuma.
- 1:00:23I think Zen's going to go nice and go for like a.
- 1:00:26Nux, the little paw Nux. Fuck yeah.
- 1:00:31Fuck yeah, Are you ready for zoomies?
- 1:00:36I have never been so ready for zoomies in my life.
- 1:00:38Akuma. We ride.
- 1:00:40Let's change the world. Is that a fucking wolf?
- 1:00:44I'll allow you 90 feet up because I imagine you summon it
- 1:00:47right next to you, right inside the prison, or even in the
- 1:00:49prison as you just ride the fucking thing.
- 1:00:53And you burst up from below, right?
- 1:00:55Yeah, you burst up from the forest below, headed towards the
- 1:00:58wish drinker above. When I was grappled before, what
- 1:01:01happened to my broom? Did it drop?
- 1:01:04Give me a slight of hand check. Each 10.
- 1:01:08Just enough, I think, to hold on to it.
- 1:01:10It entered the prison with you. Cool.
- 1:01:12And you've got it now. Would it be potentially
- 1:01:14beneficial to roll the fire damage and see if we free or
- 1:01:17isn't does enough damage to crack any of the other web
- 1:01:20crystals? Like are there other creatures
- 1:01:22nearby that? I think she was getting pulled
- 1:01:24down right? So she was like, she wasn't like
- 1:01:27down there with them. In my mind I thought she like
- 1:01:29got like lassoed by a web from below and started getting
- 1:01:32pulling. Give me a look check.
- 1:01:33Oh cool. Me, yeah.
- 1:01:36Smelt it, dealt it. The Natural 20.
- 1:01:42Roll that damage. Why do you always got to do
- 1:01:43this? Roll that.
- 1:01:45Damage. How much 2D6 fire damage?
- 1:01:472D6 fire damage. Oh, excuse me, 3D6 fire damage.
- 1:01:529. I think with a natural 20 and a
- 1:01:55total of 33 damage, it hurts quite a bit along this web.
- 1:02:02Give me a roll on AD 8. Oh, you burn the web all the way
- 1:02:05down to the like when? You light like a Yeah.
- 1:02:09What's it called? A quick yeah.
- 1:02:11And it just and a fuse that burns all the way down to the
- 1:02:14web and. Pop some stuff open, what do we
- 1:02:17got? 5.
- 1:02:20You see a giant goat escape down below.
- 1:02:24You get a giant goat before, yeah.
- 1:02:26They're very smart. Yes, you got a giant goat last
- 1:02:28time in the in the forest. The giant goat.
- 1:02:30They got a whole book. The Apple's going to be very
- 1:02:32pleased to be so. Proud of us.
- 1:02:34Is coming back healthy? I hope he took a massive shit in
- 1:02:37that way. A giant goat runs free after
- 1:02:42that burst of flames and you are astride your nightmare.
- 1:02:48Zoomies above. Zoomies below.
- 1:02:49I hope the wish drinker notices and starts to feel afraid shit
- 1:02:55is happening in this. Web We roll a die for what
- 1:02:57feelings the wish to incur. Feelings, I will tell you right
- 1:03:01now, not afraid, because it is immune to the frightened.
- 1:03:03Conditions, right? But high energy is pleasant at
- 1:03:06the very least. High energy.
- 1:03:07Unpleasant. High energy, Pleasant.
- 1:03:10I'll look at my feelings map. That we'll choose one right
- 1:03:13here, right? Now.
- 1:03:15Ryan just doesn't have my good options as she looks towards the
- 1:03:19wish drinker. I think she you can see on her
- 1:03:22face that she wants to fight as she stares the wish drinker down
- 1:03:26from mere feet away and instead of going for radiant strikes,
- 1:03:32which is all she can do. Could I teach her a wheel and
- 1:03:35woe? Your your home roof beat that we
- 1:03:38came up with. Yeah.
- 1:03:39I give me a arcana check or a yeah, give me an arcana check or
- 1:03:44a persuasion check out also. I'm going.
- 1:03:46To go for Arcana an 18. 18 is enough.
- 1:03:53I will say that you have to use your charge, but I'll allow you
- 1:03:56to use your charge of wheel and woe and if you want to read, if
- 1:03:59you want to read off that text, I'll allow you to use it when
- 1:04:02RYA does radiant damage as well. Sweet.
- 1:04:05No, don't worry. Wait like let let.
- 1:04:08Watch this GP. All right, so Rya's Learning of
- 1:04:13Wheel and Woe are home brew feat that allows me to change radiant
- 1:04:21to necrotic damage. So whenever Ryah casts a spell
- 1:04:26that deals radiant damage, she can choose to change the damage
- 1:04:29type to necrotic or vice versa. She can use this feature a
- 1:04:34number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per short or
- 1:04:37long rest. So she is using a charge of
- 1:04:39mine. I have 3 to learn that spell.
- 1:04:43If the spell restores hit points and deals damage in the same
- 1:04:46effect, such as Vampiric Touch or Healing Word with certain
- 1:04:49class features, the healing remains unchanged.
- 1:04:53Fantastic. OK, cool.
- 1:04:57Two attacks and one of them will strike true as Raya hits with.
- 1:05:02So cool connected to stuff through star song.
- 1:05:07Caring is caring. And that will be 15 damage as
- 1:05:12she hits. Is that something that you want
- 1:05:13to use right now as RYA looks to you and realizes that the stars
- 1:05:19are surrounded by a void? You're asking if I want to use
- 1:05:22one of my charts to give her this effect?
- 1:05:24Yes, I would love to still translate that effect.
- 1:05:27Awesome 15 damage will definitely hurt as RYA leaps
- 1:05:31from the cloud flying and so on with her wings to send out two
- 1:05:35radiant strikes out at the Wish Drinker, one which will hit
- 1:05:39hard. What does it look like as this
- 1:05:42energy changes from Radiant to Necronic?
- 1:05:48It like goes to land on to the hunger spirit or the wish
- 1:05:52drinker and sort of freezes in the air and as she like cocks an
- 1:05:56eyebrow to just like adjust the energy that she used to send it
- 1:05:59out. Yeah, it's always like that
- 1:06:01scene where Kylo Ren stops the the bolt of energy and then it
- 1:06:06continues some like fluttering and phasing in between.
- 1:06:10Yes, and you can see RYA give it a little extra and it pushes
- 1:06:16through to blast the wish drinker.
- 1:06:18Yeah. What does the necrotic energy
- 1:06:20look like on the other side of the the lens or this shape and
- 1:06:23shift? I don't know, I wonder what it
- 1:06:25would look like for necrotic damage to infect light particles
- 1:06:30and like a creature that has such a holographic Chloe aura to
- 1:06:37it like black hole almost rocks. And yeah, I've seen cracks and
- 1:06:42black lightning, you know, like, yeah.
- 1:06:45I think he desaturates a little bit.
- 1:06:47I was just about to say, yeah, I think Rya's radiant strike like
- 1:06:50hits him. And in the same way where his
- 1:06:52wounds kind of let out this prismatic light, it's kind of
- 1:06:56reabsorbed or like otherwise unable to escape as as if like a
- 1:07:01singularity is capturing that light fully and completely, as
- 1:07:05if that rainbow lightning running through its veins is
- 1:07:07trying to escape. That is Next up going to be.
- 1:07:12Parable, I have been thinking this whole time about what I'm
- 1:07:19going to do, and I still have no idea what I'm going to do.
- 1:07:22All right, positioning wise, I just saw Zin burst up from below
- 1:07:27me seeing pass change the energy to necrotic.
- 1:07:32I don't think I can do that, but I can do something like this and
- 1:07:34I click my pen twice and the luck blade long sword comes out
- 1:07:40and I'm going to push against the air and kick my feet as of a
- 1:07:45swimmer in water with one big stroke and fly at the wish
- 1:07:50drinker and. Your boots of flying are ready
- 1:07:54and able to take you in whatever way you need to across the sky.
- 1:07:57And I'm gonna slash at him twice.
- 1:08:00Nice, let's see those attacks. Fantastic parable and.
- 1:08:03I change it in the middle. Yeah, 2024 rules allow attacks
- 1:08:08and drawing and sewing to be a part of the same action.
- 1:08:10Awesome, so I slice with a long sword.
- 1:08:12I do. I do a barrel roll and I click
- 1:08:15and it comes out as a rapier and I try to stab it in the side
- 1:08:18where Savandria had like solidified part of it.
- 1:08:22So cool coming across with a slash and then zeroing back in
- 1:08:26with a piercing stab. Let's see what those attacks
- 1:08:28look like. Such good movement using the 2
- 1:08:31weapon forms in in tandem. That is a 24 hit.
- 1:08:37Yes. And.
- 1:08:39Yes. The other one would be a 17.
- 1:08:44A-17 wall so. I didn't think I was going to
- 1:08:48get that one. I hit twice.
- 1:08:52Yes. No fucking way.
- 1:08:55Twice where I. Don't know.
- 1:09:00The first attack will just be 6 and another six damage, and I
- 1:09:09will immediately after cast a Thunderous Smite.
- 1:09:14Awesome, so attacking with your blade you strike down and using
- 1:09:20Thunder smites you will hit. Just for flavor wise, where does
- 1:09:25the thunderous smite come in as you slash across and stab in Oh?
- 1:09:29From inside him. You stab in and like a lightning
- 1:09:36bolt you just hear if from a long distance.
- 1:09:42Like frozen shrinks for a second.
- 1:09:44Like a bomb underwater. So sick.
- 1:09:46What are the details on that thunderous smite?
- 1:09:49You strike three rings with Thunder that is audible within
- 1:09:52300 feet of you, and the target takes an extra 2D6 Thunder
- 1:09:55damage from the attack. Additionally, if the target is a
- 1:09:57creature, it must succeed on the Strength saving throw or be
- 1:10:00pushed 10 feet away from you and have the prone condition.
- 1:10:03Dude, the. Prone condition, 300 feet in the
- 1:10:06air, Yeah. Bye.
- 1:10:08Ultimate planking. I get a roll 2D6.
- 1:10:14I think I did I make him immune to prone.
- 1:10:16Did I make him immune to prone? Did I make him immune to prone?
- 1:10:19That's just an extra bore I. Didn't make him immune to prone.
- 1:10:23Thunder Oh my gosh, he's gonna yeah, I think I I swim through
- 1:10:28the air with one big stroke with my flying boots.
- 1:10:31I double click my sword, long sword slice across the top where
- 1:10:35Stephandria had bit in and and made solid and then where the
- 1:10:39tail was. I spin around the cloud dodging
- 1:10:42this weird entity and stab the rapier into the side and boom it
- 1:10:48from the inside. So.
- 1:10:50I think that boom actually it it's I'd like to still roll with
- 1:10:54mechanics of it pushing, pushing it away, but I think it pushes
- 1:10:57all of us away. Oh yeah, absolutely.
- 1:10:59What's the save and what's the damage?
- 1:11:00The strength save is 14 and the damage from the 2D6 was just
- 1:11:06five. Alien with A7 no fucking the
- 1:11:11wish drinker. What?
- 1:11:13Was the DC. 14 The wish drinker will take that damage and
- 1:11:18plummet what? So 4 damage of the force damage
- 1:11:23from the thunderous spice, but there's going to be quite a
- 1:11:27quite a quite a bit of damage from the fall here that will be
- 1:11:30halved due to it being non magic bludgeoning damage.
- 1:11:32Would it Would it reach the ground up this turn?
- 1:11:35No, it would reach the ground on its turn.
- 1:11:37It falling happens immediately. I believe under 2024 was well.
- 1:11:42Wild. No way.
- 1:11:44So cool. So sick.
- 1:11:46And I I think Parable does a cool guy phrase.
- 1:11:50I think he after the explosion and falling back, I think he
- 1:11:56actually just thinks longingly of fighting next to LA Million
- 1:12:01oddly and says little guys get it done.
- 1:12:05I love it. Fantastic.
- 1:12:07I just think it's just. Falling out of the air, I mean.
- 1:12:10The halfling did this. I'm pretty this is a cool those
- 1:12:13guys. Do get it done.
- 1:12:14You know what? Damn that is going to be an 18
- 1:12:17to hit from the giant wasp. Up next that is coined and
- 1:12:21Morris is a 0. Well, he's falling.
- 1:12:25He he'll. Fall on his turn, which it's not
- 1:12:28up for a while. Oh, and actually, even as he's
- 1:12:33falling he will use a legendary action to cloud step and avoids
- 1:12:38the falling damage, so. Even though it's not his turn.
- 1:12:41Yes, because it's the layer. Yeah, it's using a legendary
- 1:12:44action which occurs at the end of other creatures actions as it
- 1:12:48will use its legendary action to no reverse.
- 1:12:52Yeah. So does it just appear right
- 1:12:53back in front of me? Look.
- 1:12:55At for a second it looks as if it's about to fall, as if you
- 1:12:57struck the mightiest of blows, as if it's about to plummet to
- 1:13:00the earth below. And then suddenly it's back in
- 1:13:07front of your face. No cool bear balloons.
- 1:13:09No cool. No.
- 1:13:11Fucking a giant wasp comes in to strike it and strikes true.
- 1:13:15What's that damage? Cassie, you are roll out D6 for
- 1:13:18me. Yes I do 6 total.
- 1:13:22Oh damn, 6 piercing damage that will be halved to three.
- 1:13:26But it does it's. It's not nothing.
- 1:13:31That's a giant wasp. Three damage.
- 1:13:35That's what happens. The most?
- 1:13:37The most? Damage the.
- 1:13:38Pre half would be 8 damage on a sting from a wasp that is the
- 1:13:43size of a Tonka truck. Well, Cassie, that is you up
- 1:13:49next. So you're.
- 1:13:50Fighting with the wasp unpoly. I made you.
- 1:13:53I can unmake you. We're beefing.
- 1:13:56All right, I am going to fearfully use my divination.
- 1:14:07Spell your divination spell. Yep, it's going to put me in
- 1:14:12contact with a God. Oh, what?
- 1:14:16Tell me what you're. Scrinting your eyes at me
- 1:14:18Divination allows me to contact a God.
- 1:14:21I'm able to ask one question about a specific goal, event, or
- 1:14:26activity to occur within seven days.
- 1:14:28The DM offers a truthful reply, which might be a short phrase or
- 1:14:32cryptic rhyme. So we're going to table talk,
- 1:14:35and it's legal because it's the spell.
- 1:14:38OK so this is a this is a spell that requires verbal, semantic,
- 1:14:42and material components and is takes the casting time of an
- 1:14:46action. Just tell me what this looks
- 1:14:48like and what God. We know what God we're talking
- 1:14:52to. I'm going to Cassie's going to
- 1:14:55meditate a little bit and reach out through her mind, maybe put
- 1:15:00a hand on Rya's shoulder and think so hard and so earnestly
- 1:15:05about her mom. The Journal pull out the chair
- 1:15:09material component. He's going to reach into her
- 1:15:11pocket and grab her mother's journal.
- 1:15:14Great idea, parables. Thank you.
- 1:15:16Wow, it's like you're in head. No Great idea, and I'm also
- 1:15:23going to pull out my star map for flavor.
- 1:15:28As as you do, you see two sides of yourself that you've come to
- 1:15:31learn. Well, one that's been a long
- 1:15:34love, your love of astronomy, but the other a love of
- 1:15:38astrology and the idea of reading signs amongst the stars
- 1:15:43that aren't just scientific. Both these sides collide within
- 1:15:48you as they did with you and Sophondria instinct and
- 1:15:53intellect. Cassie feels invigorated as she
- 1:16:00reaches out to the universe to ask what the hunger spirits
- 1:16:10biggest weaknesses. Cassie, as you reach out, asking
- 1:16:20for a way to defeat this creature, asking for its
- 1:16:24greatest weakness, contacting a God that you know to be your
- 1:16:31mother, give me a religion check.
- 1:16:35I love like thinking of a simple prayer or thought to the sky of
- 1:16:41how do we do this? Like where is this thing weak?
- 1:16:44You know, it's such a real thing to look up the sky and wonder
- 1:16:50how to do what we're doing. I think you have already thought
- 1:16:52of six other requests that I think would have been better.
- 1:16:55But it's OK, we were on the spot all right.
- 1:16:58My religion check is shitty. It's A7.
- 1:17:06The spell goes off without a hitch.
- 1:17:08The religion check is more more so to help us understand what
- 1:17:14the process is like for Cassie. I think it is spiritually
- 1:17:18Turbine. Wait, I'm going to add.
- 1:17:21Oh, your prophecy. Die.
- 1:17:22I'm going to add my prophecy Die even though you just said I
- 1:17:24don't need to. No good moment, good moment for
- 1:17:26it. So that's AD 8, right?
- 1:17:28Yes, 11. As you go to commune, you find
- 1:17:34Raya's eyes upon you. You reach out to someone who you
- 1:17:39held dearly in your heart, and you have to wonder as you reach
- 1:17:45out, do they still hold you so dearly as you did them?
- 1:17:50The resounding answer you feel in your heart is yes, as an
- 1:17:55immediate answer fills your mind when you're dealing with a
- 1:18:00problem too big to chip away at. Sometimes you just have to go
- 1:18:05for the core. And you have a memory of your
- 1:18:11mother really eloquently and in a storytelling way, waking you
- 1:18:16up one day as a kid and saying, you know, there are stars
- 1:18:20underground too. Spending all day until you found
- 1:18:24a geode to crack open and cracking it open together.
- 1:18:28You had a moment of magic. And in that moment, she said,
- 1:18:34she said to find the right place to strengthen.
- 1:18:38And that Ting hits your mind and you see within the wish drinker
- 1:18:45a tiny glowing core as if made of light.
- 1:18:52It does indeed have a weak spot. And as if a divine compass
- 1:18:57guides your eyes to it, you see where it is.
- 1:19:01And I'll let you right now that it's like got an AC of 20.
- 1:19:04You'll have to do 50 damage to it within a turn.
- 1:19:07But if you do, this thing would be incinerated, bypassing all
- 1:19:14other things. But with that religion checking,
- 1:19:16you're not able to fully tell. But the core might have
- 1:19:19different properties than the wish.
- 1:19:21Drinker itself, OK, Cassie's really touched.
- 1:19:26I think having an experience where she's so closely
- 1:19:31communicating, it feels like with her mom and also having
- 1:19:35these memories return that just feel surreal and meaningful and
- 1:19:42functional, like, oh, so you know, it's great to feel a
- 1:19:45closeness to a parent that's passed, surely, but to have
- 1:19:50tangible help from a parental figure who's never been able to
- 1:19:55help. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:19:56I think that you feel that in like the immediacy of the
- 1:19:59response, it's like, wow, I just prayed and God talked pretty
- 1:20:02quick back like. To be nurtured in that way, in
- 1:20:07such a high stress and intense environment and situation, I
- 1:20:10think just feels like the definition of being cared for
- 1:20:15and looks. After I was just about to say I
- 1:20:16feel like the phrase wind beneath my wings oddly had like
- 1:20:20makes more sense to me spiritually than I've than I've
- 1:20:24understood it and I feel like I just see Cassie lifted by his
- 1:20:28experience. Thank you for navigating that
- 1:20:31spell with me. Absolutely.
- 1:20:33I think that was awesome. So we learned that this thing
- 1:20:36has a core. Yes, Yeah, yeah.
- 1:20:39A weak. Core with potentially different
- 1:20:42vulnerabilities and if we're able to do 50 damage.
- 1:20:46Within a turn? Within a turn.
- 1:20:49We have a a great chance of bringing it down.
- 1:20:53The core itself has an AC of 20, so pretty tough to hit.
- 1:20:59OK, but not impossible. Is there a way that Cassie could
- 1:21:02like? Tell us this Share that Yeah,
- 1:21:05yeah. Can I can I use my bonus action
- 1:21:09to actually cast magic stone? Yes, absolutely.
- 1:21:13You can cast Magic stone as a bonus action.
- 1:21:15OK, I'm going to take a moment once of Andrea's back sick.
- 1:21:19She'll be OK. We'll heal her.
- 1:21:20Next time I'm going to write down the equivalent of non table
- 1:21:25talk speak for AC24. Very strong insides, ticklish at
- 1:21:31the belly button, do big damage, make big pain, and I'm going to
- 1:21:38sling my magic stones to my friends.
- 1:21:42I I would allow you a slight of I.
- 1:21:45Don't want him to know we know I haven't won that rock glue.
- 1:21:50The fuck? I'm gonna use this magic stone.
- 1:21:52Can trim the entire campaign. Yeah.
- 1:21:55And if I don't do this now, I'll never.
- 1:21:57Will awesome. Yeah, give me a spell attack
- 1:21:59roll and I'll say that you're able to throw a rock that says,
- 1:22:03you know, go for the core sweet. And who you throwing it at?
- 1:22:06Parable or is it? You guys are near each other.
- 1:22:09I'm on my way back, yeah, as I feel like purple could catch it.
- 1:22:12Right. Toss it to me, yeah.
- 1:22:14I just toss it. I don't tell you.
- 1:22:16Play some telephone with the magic stuff I'm.
- 1:22:18Gonna throw it at 10. Cool, give me a.
- 1:22:20Sent you can share the info. Hot give me a spell tech roll.
- 1:22:25An actual 20. Oh my fucking God.
- 1:22:28What about? Me this time.
- 1:22:30Gave me the right way I did, yes.
- 1:22:33What does this look like as Cassie realizes that she needs
- 1:22:40help in the situation, or at least has help and needs to
- 1:22:42spread this information quickly and does so with tools that are
- 1:22:47not meant for this I'll. Tell you exactly what it looks
- 1:22:50like. She's back in her lab, and so
- 1:22:53therefore she's finding immense comfort clicking her own pen,
- 1:22:58using a Pebble as a notebook piece of paper, tapping into
- 1:23:02like her note taking analytical self, jotting down data and then
- 1:23:07throwing it at Zen as if Zen is a pesky child ringing my
- 1:23:11doorbell downstairs. I have lots of practice for
- 1:23:14that. You are realizing.
- 1:23:16My lab, you're realizing. That.
- 1:23:18You don't meditate. Even if you're out of your
- 1:23:20element, you can just put yourself in your element in your
- 1:23:22mind and suddenly you are and you are comfortable and know the
- 1:23:26tools that you have available will serve you as best as they
- 1:23:29can. And Zen, you are in on it to go
- 1:23:33for the core. OK, noted.
- 1:23:36So before I end my term, can we have a little mind theater about
- 1:23:41where everyone is now? How high, How far?
- 1:23:44Absolutely. As we near the end of the round,
- 1:23:46we just have our rescue parties turns to come up here.
- 1:23:50We have the rescue party down on the ground, has found Glimmer,
- 1:23:52but still needs to break Glimmer free and we have you guys 300
- 1:23:58feet or so in the air within a 90 foot range of one another
- 1:24:02battling at that altitude. The dude the the you get Zen
- 1:24:06getting pulled down and then bursting up as a shadow dire
- 1:24:09wall pulled. Down and then bursting back up
- 1:24:11to the cloud line and just. Yeah, with like 300 feet and
- 1:24:13then the mix it makes. Yeah.
- 1:24:15And it makes the the wish drinkers fall as prone and cloud
- 1:24:19step back up scarier. And just the idea of like these
- 1:24:22two entities, you know, around. We have a giant dragon and a
- 1:24:25giant wish drinker in front of us.
- 1:24:27It's just. Then comes out the shadow has a
- 1:24:30stone that says go for the core and she's.
- 1:24:31Like all right. Let's fucking change the world.
- 1:24:36So good. We do have just the rescue party
- 1:24:39to go up next and they will just be taking some attacks that will
- 1:24:43be more than enough to hit from a million for both times.
- 1:24:49They'll need the million by himself as soon as they find
- 1:24:53glimmer slashes through with some pretty solid damage on both
- 1:24:58tacks. I think that's 22 damage all
- 1:25:00told thought. About a boy.
- 1:25:01He. Good for him.
- 1:25:04Slices it up and suddenly they have glimmer at their feet just
- 1:25:09as the the gaze of two minds is starting to fade.
- 1:25:12You see Emo and Guimo is out and Papaya is a golden scarred
- 1:25:23spider touches a golden scarred dragon worm lane and they have
- 1:25:28freed this young actually. Should we tell him to fucking
- 1:25:33run I. Was going to say.
- 1:25:34Back to Dapple. Can I send get as far away as
- 1:25:37possible vibes to papaya? Like take that baby and run.
- 1:25:41Leave 1 million of them which. Could you like, could you like
- 1:25:43yell like they found him like in that.
- 1:25:45Yeah, that kind of sense. Or tell us in a way because I'm
- 1:25:48just want to be excited for Papaya.
- 1:25:51Yeah, I think getting the sensation of like they're free,
- 1:25:55Zen would just yell we found them or like packages secured.
- 1:26:01The Eagle has lied about it. He.
- 1:26:03Did he did it? Little guy, Little guys, Big P.
- 1:26:09With Glimmer free and you feeling that Zen, you guys have
- 1:26:13succeeded on one part of this fight here.
- 1:26:16But before we close, I do have to say that there are some
- 1:26:21legendary actions that need to take place, and they will be
- 1:26:25taking place right now. OK.
- 1:26:30Parable you were just you just closed in with the wish drinker
- 1:26:32most recently, right? Yeah, and he appeared right in
- 1:26:35front of me. With a legendary action that's
- 1:26:38going to be a swipe at Parable does a 20.
- 1:26:44Five hits. Yes, a 25 hits.
- 1:26:47That's just rude. Well, 16 I have one less than
- 1:26:50the wish drinker. So using this legendary action
- 1:26:53to make a prismatic claw attack that'll hit and you will take we
- 1:26:58will take 10 necrotic damage and have the grappled condition.
- 1:27:03So this next attack is gonna be coming at you with advantage.
- 1:27:05You'll also need to give me. It has.
- 1:27:07Disadvantage on its attack against me because of specs and
- 1:27:11SAP. That is a good point.
- 1:27:13Absolutely. It does not.
- 1:27:18I mean assume a 15 does not hit. By one, yeah. 15 Okay fantastic
- 1:27:23so you are not hit with the first attack I.
- 1:27:26Block it with my left blade. The second attack is a nine, so
- 1:27:32that's awesome. Does not hit.
- 1:27:37We're turning it around, baby. Hey.
- 1:27:38You're just hyping the hyping the little guy.
- 1:27:40Those are all of its legendary actions for the round and I
- 1:27:42think that we will end our session there for now.
- 1:27:46As parable. You block two more prismatic
- 1:27:49clause breaks and you are in the thick of it, y'all.
- 1:27:54This is a fight for the ages as. School more round.
- 1:27:57All right, That's OK. I imagine Dapple with just like
- 1:28:02a lot of popcorn looking at us like fireworks.
- 1:28:06Peace in time right now. Oh.
- 1:28:07Yeah, Does the, does the the shield make like a lens effect
- 1:28:10so? Oh yeah.
- 1:28:11Yeah, for sure. But I think that is a perfect
