  Speaker A: Hello, weary traveler. I'm not sure what
• 0:13
  strange magic must have brought you here, but you have
• 0:16
  stepped into a realm of my creation. A
• 0:19
  ah, sprawling city filled with danger and
• 0:21
  glory and most importantly, lots of
• 0:24
  gold. I call it Isan
• 0:27
  Numis. Who am I, you might ask?
• 0:29
  The name is Jariv and I'm the patron
• 0:32
  deity of gambling. Long story
• 0:35
  short, this group of idiots, or as
• 0:38
  you may call them, heroes, made a bet with me that
• 0:41
  they had what it took to make a mass trove of gold,
• 0:44
  but left some.
• 0:45
  Speaker B: Of the key details blank.
• 0:47
  Speaker A: So I filled them in myself. I sent
• 0:50
  them to this pocket dimension into the city I
• 0:53
  had created with with brand new bodies they'd
• 0:56
  have to attune to.
• 0:57
  Speaker B: Can these fools pass my test?
• 1:00
  Speaker A: Or will they be trapped here forever? So experience
• 1:03
  my world of trials and tribulations and
• 1:06
  join alongside this posse of pitiful
• 1:08
  people. Or as I like to call them, the
• 1:11
  criminals of Isan Numis.
• 1:16
  Speaker B: Alright, welcome back to another episode of Criminals of Isla Numis.
• 1:19
  Hi, I'm your host, Dungeon Master
• 1:22
  Skylar. And I've been asked to
• 1:24
  do recap first, then characters I
• 1:27
  think. Okay, so last time. No, no, I'm
• 1:30
  getting head shakes. Okay, sorry. Alrigh. We'll do characters
• 1:33
  then recap. Algh. So to my right we've
• 1:36
  got Dave.
• 1:39
  Speaker C: Dave here playing Maky Mai,
• 1:42
  the shadow sorcerer bounty
• 1:44
  hunter in
• 1:47
  his past life. I don't
• 1:50
  think he knows that yet.
• 1:52
  Speaker B: Now isn't Makim Maki? Is that a fish or. No, it's
• 1:55
  Maim Mai. That's fine. There's no need to be a
• 1:58
  fish here.
• 1:59
  Speaker C: Makim Mai is actually based off of a character
• 2:01
  from Bleach.
• 2:03
  Speaker B: Nice. My wife would get that.
• 2:06
  Speaker D: I do not.
• 2:07
  Speaker B: I've them very minor
• 2:10
  character.
• 2:10
  Speaker D: Maki Mai, also was a. From
• 2:13
  our last campaign prior to this.
• 2:15
  Speaker B: Where all our characters come from.
• 2:16
  Speaker D: He was an npc. Well, Dave.
• 2:18
  Speaker B: That's true.
• 2:18
  Speaker D: Well, Dave was dming and he just joined our group.
• 2:21
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker D: And then slowly just became a core member
• 2:24
  to the point where he s.
• 2:25
  Speaker B: Became a playable character.
• 2:27
  Speaker D: Day when Skylar took back over his d. that's right.
• 2:30
  Speaker B: It all worked out in a fantastic way.
• 2:33
  Speaker C: Anyway, Maki was a human. Now he's
• 2:36
  a Cancnu source
• 2:37
  or'stretching his
• 2:40
  legs. enjoying life as a
• 2:42
  birdman.
• 2:44
  Speaker B: Getting a feel for the magic hidden within
• 2:46
  him.
• 2:47
  Speaker E: Pot.
• 2:48
  Speaker B: Indeed. Fantastic. Next to Dave, we've
• 2:51
  got Quinn, who's playing Feather
• 2:53
  McGregor.
• 2:54
  Speaker F: Your aka Littleil Sauce.
• 2:56
  Speaker B: That's right.
• 2:56
  Speaker F: Kinku Wizard. you know,
• 2:59
  going through a lot of changes in life Right now.
• 3:02
  And, I think, right now we're going. We're after work,
• 3:05
  I believe, right nowch, searching after my son
• 3:08
  or cousin or uncle. I can't remember what I was to.
• 3:10
  Speaker B: Him, but I think you said he was your cousin.
• 3:13
  Speaker F: Might have been.
• 3:14
  Speaker E: Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker F: But, we got to find, silly frillly willie.
• 3:17
  Speaker B: Really?
• 3:17
  Speaker F: That's my silly frly willy.
• 3:20
  Speaker B: That's right. Awesome. Next to Quinn, we got
• 3:22
  Jackson.
• 3:23
  Speaker G: my name is Jack. I play Desz, who
• 3:26
  was a trident fighter turned cancou
• 3:29
  ranger. fun fact about Des is,
• 3:32
  although he comes from an underwater world,
• 3:35
  he prefers dry
• 3:37
  rubs over a
• 3:39
  marinade.
• 3:40
  Speaker D: It is dry season.
• 3:41
  Speaker B: It is dry rub season. That's right.
• 3:44
  Has he ever seen the movie Wateror with, KE
• 3:47
  costner?
• 3:47
  Speaker G: You know, he saw it once when he was
• 3:50
  real young. and he remembers
• 3:53
  that it was like the
• 3:56
  normal world, but submerged the water, and he was like, what's
• 3:59
  so wrong and scary about this? Why are they punishing
• 4:02
  the man with gills? Why is gills a secret?
• 4:04
  Yeah, it'just
• 4:05
  Speaker B: It's a very offensive movie when you think about it from that angle.
• 4:08
  Yeah, that's fair.
• 4:09
  Speaker G: It was, like, poking fun at his race.
• 4:12
  Speaker D: Wa Water world exists.
• 4:15
  Speaker B: There's a play. There's a play within this
• 4:18
  dungeon dragons homebrew world, and it's called the waterw
• 4:21
  world.
• 4:21
  Speaker G: They lifted up his shirt, and they're like, he's a
• 4:24
  trident. It was very offensive.
• 4:26
  Speaker B: Yeah, it was very offensive. Awesome. Next to
• 4:29
  Jackson, we've got fatty lumpkins.
• 4:32
  Speaker E: All right, Fatty here. He plays
• 4:35
  keto, the druid elf who
• 4:38
  turned into a echoite
• 4:41
  cobal and
• 4:44
  is.
• 4:44
  Speaker G: Which is a hilarious mixture.
• 4:47
  Speaker B: M.
• 4:47
  Speaker G: You know what's scarier than one cobalt? Two
• 4:50
  cobalts.
• 4:51
  Speaker E: Yes. It's like a lizard infestation.
• 4:54
  Speaker B: I thought you were gonna say than
• 4:57
  about,
• 4:57
  Speaker C: Can someone say pac tactics.
• 5:00
  Speaker B: I thought you were gonna say, you know what scare you one
• 5:03
  Everything.
• 5:04
  Speaker E: He gave them to me.
• 5:06
  Speaker D: No, I.
• 5:07
  Speaker F: No, No.
• 5:07
  Speaker D: I don't think if you have echo.
• 5:09
  Speaker E: Net, you give pactk tactics to your.
• 5:11
  Speaker G: But I think you technically get one attack each.
• 5:14
  So, like, if you spawn, your
• 5:17
  echo knight could potentially, like, do.
• 5:20
  Oh, what's it called? unleash incarceration
• 5:23
  incarnation when you have one force.
• 5:25
  Speaker F: Oh.
• 5:25
  Speaker G: You could flank an enemy with yourself,
• 5:28
  right?
• 5:29
  Speaker B: I don't know if I can.
• 5:30
  Speaker G: Because you can take an action to
• 5:34
  put your echo knight behind them, and
• 5:37
  then you can use his bonus action to use the
• 5:39
  echo knight to attack said enemy.
• 5:42
  So you can flank an enemy.
• 5:44
  Speaker B: Bonkers. We'll Figure that out to flush out.
• 5:47
  Speaker E: All these echo kns.
• 5:48
  Speaker B: Yeah. Attributes.
• 5:50
  Speaker E: Attributes, capilities. Probably be corrected on the rules in
• 5:52
  the comments.
• 5:53
  Speaker B: That's true.
• 5:54
  Speaker G: Who cares?
• 5:55
  Speaker B: We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out, and we'll have some fun along the way.
• 5:58
  Fantastic. and finally, last but not least, we got
• 6:00
  Cameron. Hi, Cameron.
• 6:04
  Speaker F: Hi, Cameron.
• 6:06
  Speaker B: Tell me about yourself.
• 6:07
  Speaker D: I play Roick Frostbeard. he was a
• 6:10
  barbarian dwarf. Now
• 6:13
  he's turned into a little goblin. Little arcane trickster
• 6:16
  goblin. But now he's turned into
• 6:19
  a little boy named Silly Frillly Willie.
• 6:22
  Speaker B: Full kn.
• 6:23
  Speaker D: We just got kidnapped.
• 6:24
  Speaker B: First, middle and last.
• 6:26
  Speaker D: Yeah, full title.
• 6:27
  Speaker B: Silly. Really?
• 6:28
  Speaker H: Really.
• 6:28
  Speaker D: And you just got childnapped.
• 6:30
  Speaker G: Childnapped kid.
• 6:33
  Speaker B: For any kids.
• 6:34
  Speaker D: Well, kidnapped applies to both adults and kids.
• 6:37
  A child napped applies c.
• 6:39
  Children.
• 6:40
  Speaker B: Well, I said I was gonna do the little, getting
• 6:43
  kidnapp. What happened?
• 6:44
  Speaker D: Adult. And they're like, ha, you got kidnapped.
• 6:48
  That's all I think kids are supposed to do.
• 6:52
  Speaker B: You got adult.
• 6:56
  What A nuna. Reverse card. Big baby.
• 6:59
  Well, I said I was gonna give a recap, after the character
• 7:02
  introductions. And then you got all these characters that are trying to add the recap
• 7:05
  into their introductions. But whatever the case, let's
• 7:08
  jump into the episode and I'll do the recap here after the
• 7:11
  little transition.
• 7:17
  Speaker E: All.
• 7:17
  Speaker B: Ah, right. So last time
• 7:20
  you guys were helping out Gideon to
• 7:23
  find the alleged reincarnation of his son
• 7:26
  McGregor.
• 7:27
  Speaker F: No, no, McGrill. McGr.
• 7:28
  Speaker B: Oh, sorry, I'm not McGrer. McGregor is sor.
• 7:30
  Speaker F: My last.
• 7:31
  Speaker B: Let me restart there. You were working with Gideon
• 7:33
  McGriddle. Not really with him. I guess you were
• 7:36
  helping him out to find what he assumed was
• 7:39
  his reincarnated son. Simply,
• 7:42
  goes by McGriddle. that feather McGregor
• 7:45
  had at one point been best friends and work
• 7:48
  partners with, and allegedly killed
• 7:52
  in the line of duty. But, like, he
• 7:55
  did it allegedly in the line of duty.
• 7:58
  Anyways, you guys are helping, Giney
• 8:00
  McGriddle to, find this alleged
• 8:03
  reincarnation that he had put into a puppet, having done
• 8:06
  some sort of strange ritual, believing that he had brought his son's
• 8:09
  soul back and into said puppet. the
• 8:12
  puppet has since escaped and has been
• 8:15
  allegedly kidnapping
• 8:18
  children in the area. You guys
• 8:20
  had gotten some clues from around the town
• 8:23
  square, and you had
• 8:26
  dressed roricup as a little child
• 8:29
  named Silly Frilly Willie, who
• 8:31
  went skipping off into an alle dark alleyway and
• 8:34
  came across a strange figure, who kind
• 8:37
  of coaxed him to the clock. Tower. The rest of you are
• 8:40
  unaware where he is, but you guys are quickly
• 8:43
  following the tracks alongside a couple of
• 8:46
  town guards in search of
• 8:48
  the, fake child
• 8:51
  that you have used as your bait. And
• 8:54
  that's where we set ourselves at right now.
• 8:57
  You guys are running down, or maybe not running, but walking
• 9:00
  down this alleyway, following the tracks. Des
• 9:03
  is sniffing along the ground
• 9:06
  and what you find is you see the series
• 9:09
  of tracks that were left behind very obviously
• 9:12
  by a small goblin creature.
• 9:14
  Speaker G: small boy.
• 9:15
  Speaker B: A small boy goblin creature.
• 9:18
  And, every once in a while, like around a
• 9:20
  corner, you will see a strange pair of
• 9:23
  footprints. They look like just a generic pair
• 9:26
  of shoes. but Des, given that your
• 9:29
  favorite enemy is constructs, you recognize
• 9:32
  these?
• 9:33
  Speaker G: I get a little twitch in the eyebrow.
• 9:35
  Speaker B: You do get a little twitch in the eyebrow. And you
• 9:38
  recognize these as,
• 9:40
  possibly resembling the same shoes
• 9:43
  designed that Gideon
• 9:45
  McGregorgrdle. Sorry, Gideon McGriggle.
• 9:49
  Speaker G: Gideon McGriddle.
• 9:50
  Speaker B: There we go. MC.
• 9:53
  Gideon McGriddle has used on
• 9:55
  his other dolls and creations that
• 9:58
  he. His puppets, etc. having been in his shop,
• 10:01
  having kind of an eye for such things, you recognize these and then
• 10:04
  they seemingly just disappear. And then a little ways
• 10:07
  further in, as you're following your friend's footsteps,
• 10:10
  you find them again just in one spot, just
• 10:13
  one pair of footprints, and then they disappear. And
• 10:16
  you follow that for a little while until eventually you
• 10:19
  find the entrance to the
• 10:22
  clock tower. It's in a kind of a more run down
• 10:24
  space here. It doesn't look like anyone uses this area
• 10:27
  too often. It doesn't have any shops. It's solely kind of the
• 10:30
  more rundown, houses
• 10:33
  residence area. So aside from the people that must
• 10:36
  live around this area, there's not too many people in the
• 10:39
  area. And that's where you guys find
• 10:42
  yourselves. The tracks of your friend
• 10:44
  Roric, AKA Silly Frilly Willie, seem
• 10:47
  to disappear at the steps leading up
• 10:50
  to the door of the clock tower.
• 10:55
  Speaker G: Des goes ahead, goes
• 10:57
  aheads, and pulls out his
• 11:00
  morningstar and walks,
• 11:03
  through the door to the clock tower.
• 11:04
  Speaker B: Straight in'm.
• 11:05
  Speaker G: I'm ascending.
• 11:06
  Speaker B: All right, he's ascending.
• 11:08
  Speaker H: Oh, geez. Your friends real eager there.
• 11:11
  sure looks like you're, you. What did you say it was?
• 11:14
  Your cousin, your nephew?
• 11:16
  Speaker B: yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker E: All right.
• 11:17
  Speaker H: Your nephew, cousin, probably went right in
• 11:20
  there. shoot, we got actually a couple of things to
• 11:22
  do. but it just seems like you guys are on all set, on
• 11:25
  your way. If that works for you.
• 11:28
  Speaker F: I prefer you come with us.
• 11:30
  Speaker H: You want us to come with you? Oh, geez.
• 11:32
  Speaker C: I prefer if you did it.
• 11:33
  Speaker H: Oh, gosh, we're really getting two sides of the coin
• 11:36
  here.
• 11:36
  Speaker B: And top it off, we can use.
• 11:38
  Speaker H: A little bit rude.
• 11:39
  Speaker F: We could use the extra help.
• 11:42
  Speaker H: well, tell you what. All right, well, let's just go check
• 11:45
  it out there and see where things are at. I don't
• 11:48
  even know why I thought leaving was an option. We should
• 11:51
  pre probably see this thing through.
• 11:53
  Speaker G: You know, it's not very nice to use people as human
• 11:56
  shields.
• 11:56
  Speaker B: That's exactly what we're doing.
• 12:00
  Speaker D: I do find it funny that these guys are in charge of
• 12:02
  finding the kids who have been kidnapped
• 12:06
  and get to the location where they most likely are. And
• 12:09
  o well, bye, guys. Have a nice day.
• 12:11
  Speaker B: You learned the reason for this. One of them leans over and he.
• 12:13
  Speaker H: Says, gee williker, Steve, I'm really getting the
• 12:16
  heebie jeebies around here. I I know. I was
• 12:19
  hoping that we might get out of it, Henry, but, it's.
• 12:22
  Speaker B: Looking like we're kind of stuck in.
• 12:23
  Speaker H: It, to be honest with you. This is the one place we really haven't
• 12:26
  looked yet.
• 12:27
  Speaker B: It's the one place we've been
• 12:30
  avoiding.
• 12:31
  Speaker H: It like the plague this whole time. Steve and I think it's
• 12:33
  about time we just buck up and get it
• 12:36
  done.
• 12:37
  Speaker G: I really like that these guards are just the moose from brother
• 12:39
  bear. That's the best.
• 12:43
  Speaker B: And so. Ah, behind you guys.
• 12:45
  Speaker F: No, I think it's, you know, you guys are the experts
• 12:48
  here, right?
• 12:49
  Speaker H: in what particular area?
• 12:51
  Speaker F: here. What soldiers?
• 12:53
  Speaker H: You know, we town guards. I mean, I think
• 12:55
  Steve's got a little bit of military
• 12:58
  historysh're getting a third batt.
• 13:00
  Speaker F: But you're here to protect us, right?
• 13:02
  Speaker H: O sure.
• 13:02
  Speaker F: Well, I think you guys should go first.
• 13:05
  Speaker H: Okay.
• 13:06
  Speaker F: All right.
• 13:06
  Speaker H: I suppose I can't find any flaws in that
• 13:09
  logic.
• 13:10
  Speaker G: Sounds like pre halfway up the.
• 13:11
  Speaker H: I mean, we're gonna have to go in after him.
• 13:13
  Speaker B: He's ar.
• 13:13
  Speaker F: Yeah, we better get going. We better get going.
• 13:15
  Speaker H: O.
• 13:16
  Speaker D: All right.
• 13:16
  Speaker B: And they go hustling up.
• 13:17
  Speaker H: Right.
• 13:18
  Speaker B: Wait for us, though.
• 13:18
  Speaker H: But what's your name there, little bity? Okay.
• 13:21
  Speaker B: And they go running inside.
• 13:24
  Des, I don't know what you. Are you guys following after him?
• 13:26
  Speaker F: Oh, yeah, we's going in behind. Oh, I just want them in front of they ll
• 13:29
  meet you.
• 13:30
  Speaker B: Sure, sure. All right.
• 13:31
  Speaker C: Imagine us going in m after Des. He goes ahead,
• 13:34
  and we all go in Scooby Doo style.
• 13:36
  Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker D: your arms awkwardly up.
• 13:41
  Speaker B: Rushing inside. You guys are Instantly
• 13:45
  surprised to find that the
• 13:47
  interior of this space is far
• 13:50
  larger than a clock tower would
• 13:52
  suggest. The Clock towers'build is fairly narrow.
• 13:55
  It looks like it's really just enough space would be
• 13:58
  inside to, like, go up a ladder or maybe, like, a
• 14:01
  winding st staircase to get to the top, do whatever repairs you need
• 14:04
  along the way, and then descend out. And
• 14:07
  that's pretty much the end of it. as you guys step inside,
• 14:10
  you find yourselves. You do see the spire that leads
• 14:13
  upwards. But the sort of
• 14:15
  expanse of space within here definitely,
• 14:19
  suggests that there's an unnatural amount of room
• 14:22
  inside the space. It's quite dark. The
• 14:24
  shadows are long and intense.
• 14:27
  but that's not the part that surprises you the most. The part that
• 14:30
  surprises you the most. Looking around at sort of the scaffolding
• 14:33
  that makes up, the sort of stairway or
• 14:36
  walkway that leads up, the spire to the
• 14:38
  spire is strings
• 14:41
  that sort of hang down. And at the end of each of these
• 14:44
  strings, you see, what look like children
• 14:47
  all tied up and wrapped up in these strings
• 14:50
  hanging there. Almost like it's a. Or something along those
• 14:52
  lines.
• 14:53
  Speaker E: Do you think you're pure, alive?
• 14:55
  Speaker B: they do, yeah. As you kind of watch, one of
• 14:58
  them as it's sort of, like, sways ever so slightly back
• 15:01
  and forth, you can see that it seems this child
• 15:03
  seems to be breathing. although very shallow, they
• 15:06
  all seem to be unconscious and weak.
• 15:09
  some of them are looking obviously very malnourished, as if
• 15:12
  they've been here.
• 15:13
  Speaker E: For a little while, and they're just
• 15:16
  hanging over a bottomless pit. That
• 15:19
  is the clock tower.
• 15:20
  Speaker B: No, so it's, sort of. You got, like, the center spire that shoots all
• 15:23
  the way up that kind of holds everything. And then you've got a walkway that goes up. and they're sort
• 15:26
  of scaffolding that holds that walkway. And they're kind of just
• 15:28
  hanging off various sections of that scaffolding. So some of them are
• 15:31
  higher up than others, but some of them are only, like, maybe,
• 15:34
  10ft off the ground. Maybe not even that.
• 15:37
  Speaker G: Well, Des would like to instead take out his sickle and
• 15:40
  start cutting down.
• 15:42
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 15:42
  Speaker G: Cutting down the kids.
• 15:43
  Speaker B: Yeah. You, you cut down one of the kids, do you?
• 15:45
  It I
• 15:48
  gonna say, how are you?
• 15:50
  Speaker G: Like, so are they tied and then
• 15:53
  suspended down?
• 15:55
  Speaker B: Grab.
• 15:56
  Speaker G: I'll grab the rope at the top, cut them down, put them on the
• 15:59
  scaffolding or on the steps.
• 16:01
  Speaker B: And so wherever it's safest. Yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker H: O.
• 16:03
  Speaker G: You know, just.
• 16:04
  Speaker B: I clarify that you're not just, like'just.
• 16:08
  Speaker C: Good thing I brought the youngling Slayer
• 16:10
  gre Go.
• 16:13
  Speaker B: As you cut these children down, you lay them down.
• 16:16
  They're still seemingly unconscious, but you get maybe a couple
• 16:19
  of them before you start to hear the sound of, one
• 16:22
  of them in particular seems to be wrapped very
• 16:24
  heavily. And it seems to be wiggling in this very
• 16:27
  moment.
• 16:28
  Speaker E: Kita would just like to take this moment to take a second
• 16:31
  look at Des, who, not three episodes
• 16:34
  before, had just ste farmmed
• 16:37
  a kid to his, I don't know, potential death.
• 16:40
  Speaker G: I didn't stiff farm him.
• 16:43
  Speaker F: tried to save his.
• 16:45
  Speaker E: He s trying to make up for.
• 16:47
  Speaker G: Past no, from the very
• 16:50
  beginning, I truly care for children. I don't want to
• 16:53
  see them get hurt. That's why I chucked him out of.
• 16:56
  Speaker B: The like it was either me or the
• 16:59
  minotaur. Quit crying.
• 17:00
  Speaker D: Can I save your life?
• 17:02
  Speaker B: You didn't save my life. You ruined my death.
• 17:09
  but yeah, one of them seems to be, struggling
• 17:12
  and swinging kind of back and
• 17:15
  forth a little bit from inside of its almost cocoon
• 17:17
  like set of strings.
• 17:18
  Speaker F: They're really small.
• 17:20
  Speaker B: It's fairly small.
• 17:21
  Speaker G: Is it silly?
• 17:23
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 17:27
  Cameron, roll for silliness.
• 17:31
  Speaker D: 7.

  Speaker B: That sill. It's not per reallyill is it though?
• 17:36
  15. There's very'some very
• 17:39
  familiar frills sticking out from amidst the string.
• 17:42
  Speaker F: That's pret frilly.
• 17:43
  Speaker D: That might.
• 17:44
  Speaker B: It's not that silly. But it is pretty pretty. Not very silly.
• 17:47
  Speaker F: That might be him. We need to cut him down.
• 17:49
  Speaker D: It's frilly.

  Speaker B: There might be only one way to find out.
• 18:06
  Speaker F: Can I. If I were to do, like.
• 18:09
  Speaker G: Can't be him.
• 18:09
  Speaker F: He's not fire bolt on it would it just burned the outside
• 18:13
  and then he just drop.

  Speaker G: There's a very big difference between the two.
• 18:31
  Speaker D: I had to ask.
• 18:33
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker D: Why we went from cutting down the other kids
• 18:37
  to see he's not around you.
• 18:42
  Speaker F: He's way far ahead.
• 18:43
  Speaker D: Well, sure.
• 18:44
  Speaker F: Okay. I was just. I didn't say I necessarily wanted. I just

  Speaker D: But then you.

  Speaker B: It'S like a 15.
• 18:57

• 19:00
  be sitting to poking.
• 19:01
  Speaker B: And like I'm gonna get him down the p.
• 19:04

  Speaker F: And you shoot pot above.
• 19:07
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 19:07

  Speaker D: Oh well I was ah. Pretending to be

  Willy.
• 19:58
  Speaker B: The strings that you guys're kind of ripping away, they're like
• 20:01
  a thin like a thread. Like a clear thread.
• 20:04
  It's not so much like a spider silk or anything
• 20:07
  like that.
• 20:07
  Speaker F: Like just to clarify, not necessarily sticky.
• 20:10
  Speaker B: No, it's not sticky.
• 20:11
  Speaker D: I do want to say I saw the little puppet thing.
• 20:14
  Speaker F: Now what do you look like a puppet? O. Okay.
• 20:16
  Speaker D: Rainbow coat on. And then he led me here and then
• 20:19
  I shocked him.

  Speaker F: Yeah. Then what happened when you came inside?
• 20:23
  Speaker D: He kicked me in here.
• 20:25
  Speaker F: He kicked you?
• 20:27
  Speaker B: Yeah.

• 20:33
  Speaker F: You foughtht valiantly.
• 20:35
  Speaker D: I get it.
• 20:35
  Speaker C: So is that some sort of dice.
• 20:37

• 20:39
  Speaker C: Are you gambled with them?
• 20:41
  Speaker D: Yeah. Did you win?
• 20:44
  No. As you can see as you can see them
• 20:46
  a lot of credits. Pulled the wool over your
• 20:49
  eyes. I see in my body.
• 20:52
  Speaker F: All right, is he free now?
• 20:55
  Speaker B: Yeah. I see. Yeah, you managed to pull him free. And just as you do
• 20:58
  you hear something kind of out of the corner of your ear and you turn
• 21:01
  to see just these little dolls. They just
• 21:04
  seem really just generic. They just have like
• 21:06
  regular. A little bit bigger than Barbie size. They're more
• 21:09
  like fully built. It's not like this tiny little
• 21:12
  pencil whatever creature. It's just like a small
• 21:15
  puppet. I'm thinking marionette kind of.
• 21:18
  Yeah. Or almost like ah, Lilo and Stitch. How she has that
• 21:21
  weird little
• 21:21
  Speaker E: Thing that she madeoodoo.
• 21:23
  Speaker B: Yeah, the like, weird, creepy. Yeah, it kind of looks like that. About that
• 21:26
  size. And it's like. It sounds like it's moving on a
• 21:29
  clockwork and it just. It sounds like it's moving on a clockwork and it just kind
• 21:31
  of,
• 21:34
  kind of comes walking out from the shadows and it starts to approach
• 21:37
  you.
• 21:38
  Speaker D: Is that's a puppet? When I turn to the DM
• 21:40
  desk, the puppet.
• 21:42
  Speaker F: It is not.
• 21:43
  Speaker E: The buuppet is.
• 21:44
  Speaker D: No, it is not the, puppet. It
• 21:46
  was.
• 21:47
  Speaker G: It looked.
• 21:47
  Speaker D: Had rainbow on that. I don't know what the heck that
• 21:50
  is. Doesn't look friendly.
• 21:53
  Speaker G: I smashes one with, the Morningstar.
• 21:55
  Speaker B: All right. Rolling attack. Okay.
• 21:57
  Speaker G: The Morning Star. PL 5. 17.
• 22:00
  Speaker C: 17.
• 22:00
  Speaker B: That definitely hits.
• 22:02
  Speaker G: Cool. 9.
• 22:03
  Speaker B: 9 damage. So you swing the morning start.
• 22:06
  Slam right into it. It goes flying backwards and slams
• 22:09
  into the wall and kind of falls onto the ground. And
• 22:12
  it looks totally disfigured at this point. You know, one arm is
• 22:15
  gone, one leg is, like, sliced or crushed in
• 22:17
  half. it's got kind of like pieces of it, like, hanging off of
• 22:20
  the little clockwork tendons and sort of allow it
• 22:23
  to operate. But with the other half of its body, it keeps kind of
• 22:26
  like clawing towards you. It
• 22:29
  still seems to be ququote alive.
• 22:32
  Speaker G: So just one of them currently
• 22:35
  just. It's a construct. I hate it. I want to smash it again.
• 22:38
  Speaker F: Is he back with us?
• 22:39
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 22:39
  Speaker G: And we're on the same room.
• 22:40
  Speaker F: O. He's just cutting down.
• 22:42
  Speaker C: Kiss.
• 22:43
  Speaker H: Yeah. D O. You didn't even
• 22:46
  let the thing talk to you here. Just give me a moment.
• 22:48
  Speaker B: It's just a little doll. One of the guys, one of the guards
• 22:51
  comes walking up to it and he's like, what's.
• 22:53
  Speaker H: What's wrong there, little fella?
• 22:55
  Speaker B: And it just grabs him by the collar and just pulls his face
• 22:58
  down, and slams it into the ground.
• 23:01
  It deals
• 23:04
  seven damage to this guard who he raises
• 23:07
  up. Is's got tooth falling out of his mouth. There's
• 23:10
  just blood all over from a broken nose.
• 23:12
  Speaker H: O. Ge oh, gosh, she turned me
• 23:14
  somebody.
• 23:15
  Speaker B: And the other guy comes running over. He's like, oh, don't worry
• 23:18
  there.
• 23:18
  Speaker H: I help you.
• 23:19
  Speaker B: O. He just trips over the guy and falls under the
• 23:22
  ground. And he looks up and now he's missing a tooth and his nose
• 23:25
  is all bloodied up. O. We got a go
• 23:28
  for back up.
• 23:29
  Speaker H: O. This is real bad. I knew he shouldn't have come in
• 23:31
  here.
• 23:33
  Speaker D: I'll just.
• 23:34
  Speaker B: I'll whack one or these guys
• 23:37
  again.
• 23:38
  Speaker G: I'll do it again.
• 23:39
  Speaker B: I'm rushing over. It's still holding the one guy by the collar,
• 23:42
  like trying to slam his face into the,
• 23:45
  Speaker G: 17 again.
• 23:46
  Speaker H: Nice.
• 23:46
  Speaker B: All right.
• 23:47
  Speaker G: It's a good movie. Fr
• 23:49
  Matthew PA O that time it's
• 23:52
  only a five.
• 23:53
  Speaker B: That's okay. That's enough to just shatter it
• 23:56
  completely. Crushing it into the ground. Jz I
• 23:59
  can't believe it. We gotta go get ourselves
• 24:02
  some backup.
• 24:02
  Speaker H: don't you guys worryry. We'come back here.
• 24:05
  Speaker B: And, they both start stumbling over each other and they run
• 24:08
  towards the door. And as they reach it, it's already
• 24:11
  closed behind you. And they reach it and they start
• 24:14
  shaking the door to try to open it. And it doesn't seem to be
• 24:16
  opening.
• 24:17
  Speaker H: Oh, Jes, this is right out of me
• 24:19
  nightmares. It's not
• 24:22

  Speaker B: They both reach underneath and they're trying to lift. I'm still

  Speaker F: And I'm definitely sitting there looking at my hands
• 27:20
  like okay, what I was.
• 27:23
  Speaker E: Expecting'Going to m see these
• 27:25
  little munchkins
• 27:28
  crawling towards him. So the image that comes to
• 27:31
  mind is if you've ever played Super Mario
• 27:34
  World, the boss battle with Bowser is he spits
• 27:37
  out these little bowser wind up
• 27:39
  toys.
• 27:40
  Speaker B: Right.
• 27:40
  Speaker E: That's what I'm envisioning. Climbing towards me. Ye.
• 27:43
  So he's going to unsheath his glaive.
• 27:46
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 27:47
  Speaker E: And sprint towards the nearest
• 27:50
  thing and make a slash. Slinging
• 27:53
  slasher attack.
• 27:59
  Does a 20 hit absolutely with
• 28:03
  dead sent sl stab right into is going
• 28:05
  to dull do 11 dam
• 28:08
  11 damage.
• 28:10
  Speaker B: Well done. You slice this doll straight
• 28:13
  in half. I'm gonna say you probably sliced
• 28:15
  the second time. It's sort of like a crisscross pattern. You
• 28:18
  slice it once across the slice, slicing it and a half. And then you
• 28:21
  come back for a second slice across half the other way. Instantly
• 28:24
  destroying the doll.
• 28:25
  Speaker E: He's going to make it a very impressive
• 28:28
  look behind him as if to say. Did you
• 28:31
  see that?
• 28:32
  Speaker B: Are you looking at somebody specifically?
• 28:34
  Speaker E: I don't know. Just the crew behind him. I don't know.
• 28:36
  Speaker H: Geez, that was really impressive. Thank goodness he's
• 28:39
  here to save us.
• 28:41
  Speaker F: I definitely clugt for nice.
• 28:44
  Speaker B: next up, the dolls. The dolls are gonna rush
• 28:47
  up to you guys list
• 28:50
  higher and oh,
• 28:53
  that's unfortunate.
• 28:56
  So one of them rushes up to Roick
• 28:59
  and leaps into the
• 29:01
  airorick. Oh, sorry.
• 29:04
  Silly frilly Willy leaps into the air and
• 29:07
  lunges towards you. oh, that's a nat 20.
• 29:10
  Speaker D: No, my frills.
• 29:11
  Speaker B: My reallyillies'in my willies.
• 29:13
  Speaker D: Not my willie.
• 29:14
  Speaker B: Oh, he's gonna punch me right to Willy. it
• 29:17
  deals 10 dam Willie talks it third
• 29:20
  person, it deals 10 damage to frilly
• 29:23
  Willy. Silly Frilly Willy. to
• 29:25
  Willy. The next one comes rushing
• 29:28
  towards Keto, lunges towards his foot and
• 29:31
  just kind of like lifts its arms into the air and just
• 29:34
  goes to slam down on your foot. Does a 14 hit.
• 29:37
  Speaker E: No, it does not.
• 29:38
  Speaker B: It does not. It slams down on the ground. You quickly move your
• 29:41
  foot away just in time for it to miss.
• 29:44
  the next one, it's rushing towards Fe McGregor.
• 29:47
  Ak little sauce. And it goes
• 29:50
  to throw a punch. You nimbly dodge out of the way
• 29:53
  and it slams its fist into a chunk of
• 29:56
  the scaffolding and just kind of
• 29:58
  takes out a chunk of the wood just straight from it. And
• 30:01
  then the final one goes rushing towards the two guards
• 30:04
  that are cowering by the door. Oh,
• 30:07
  and definitely hits on that one. Dealing
• 30:10
  another four damage to the guy who we is face slammed
• 30:13
  down. He crumples down. He is
• 30:15
  unconscious. The other guard panicking,
• 30:18
  starts. he'd be helping his friend, but he's kind of just freaked out by the thing
• 30:21
  and starts just running around in circles. He's just running around
• 30:24
  the area trying to avoid these dolls. He's terrified. We
• 30:27
  jump over to the next person in the order, and that is
• 30:30
  Dave.
• 30:31
  Speaker C: These things are getting out of hand.
• 30:33
  Speaker D: All right.
• 30:34
  Speaker C: And he, he lines up the beat of his crossbow or
• 30:37
  whatever to one of the ones chasing
• 30:40
  the guard.
• 30:41
  Speaker B: Oay, I like that image too.
• 30:44
  Like it's chasing him around. He's not just
• 30:46
  running around the room, he's being chased.
• 30:49
  Speaker H: Jesus.
• 30:51
  Speaker G: Hands in air.
• 30:53
  Speaker B: Play away.
• 30:56
  21 Holh cow. That's definitely hitting. Get
• 30:59
  a lock onto one of the dolls. Following its
• 31:02
  speed. Perfectly hit with within 8
• 31:05
  damage. 8 damage.
• 31:07
  Speaker F: You fire.
• 31:08
  Speaker B: Its tiny body gets hit with
• 31:11
  this. normally it would be just, you know, it's a small,
• 31:14
  crossbow bolt. But, you know, obviously the size of
• 31:16
  the crossbow bolt in proportion to the size of this doll is
• 31:19
  a very different situation than if you were shooting some humanoid
• 31:22
  slams into it, takes the whole body flying across the
• 31:25
  room, slamming its arm into,
• 31:28
  sort of hits it in the shoulder and embeds itself into
• 31:31
  a chunk of scaffolding. It just kind of pulls and
• 31:34
  pulls until it just tears its own arm off,
• 31:37
  leaving it attached to the scaffolding and keeps,
• 31:40
  moving towards you guys. It gets a bead on you and starts
• 31:43
  heading in your direction. Specifically, it's still alive, but
• 31:46
  barely. Next up, we got Jackson.
• 31:48
  Speaker G: I'm just going toa keep hitting things with the flail off.
• 31:51
  Speaker B: Fair enough.
• 31:52
  Speaker G: Is there any close to Me or do I act?
• 31:55
  Speaker B: There's, let's see. There's the one that's attacking
• 31:57
  Keto. There's the one that's attacking Frilly
• 32:00
  Willy. Silly Frillly Willy. And then there's the one that's
• 32:03
  currently beining its way towards,
• 32:06
  Mai. An angry death glare.
• 32:08
  Speaker G: I'm gonna intercept the one running towards Mai
• 32:11
  and just like wing
• 32:14
  m my flail.
• 32:15
  Speaker B: It's like polo.
• 32:15
  Speaker G: Just down. Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker B: Like I'm playing the horseam. Nice. All right,
• 32:19
  Go for body of the thing. Sure.
• 32:23
  Speaker G: Does a, 12.
• 32:26
  Speaker B: That is just shy.
• 32:28
  You come down, you with it. Swing down with
• 32:31
  it. it ever so slightly just kind of taps
• 32:34
  the stub that it had for an arm. If it still had its arm there,
• 32:37
  this definitely would have made contact. But its arm is now
• 32:39
  gone, giving it a strange level
• 32:42
  of added defense. Cameron, you are next up on the
• 32:45
  order. Silly Frilly Willie.
• 32:48
  That's you.
• 32:48
  Speaker D: how many little fellos are there?
• 32:51
  Speaker B: Well, there's one that's like, practically on top of you.
• 32:53
  Speaker D: Yeah, I don't like that.
• 32:54
  Speaker B: there's two other ones you like.
• 32:57
  Speaker D: So you said this room fil a bunch of scaffolding?
• 32:59
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 32:59
  Speaker D: They're like anywhere near me that's like, I can climb up.
• 33:02
  Speaker B: yeah. I mean, there's plenty.
• 33:04
  Speaker D: I want to do that.
• 33:05
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 33:05
  Speaker D: Run away using a bonus action to disengage.
• 33:08
  I gonna run and start climbing up some scaffolding.
• 33:11
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 33:11
  Speaker D: So I get like a higher vantage point.
• 33:13
  Speaker B: Sure.
• 33:14
  Speaker D: And then I'm going to aim my
• 33:16
  crossbow. My little short bow.
• 33:18
  Speaker B: Sorry, short bow. Okay.
• 33:20
  Speaker D: And, I'm going to fire a
• 33:23
  arrow at.
• 33:26
  So there's the one chasing that dude.
• 33:29
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 33:30
  Speaker D: How far away would that be?
• 33:31
  Speaker B: Probably only like 15ft.
• 33:33
  Speaker D: How far away is it from him?
• 33:35
  Speaker B: Oh, from him'it's. maintaining a pretty solid
• 33:37
  five foot.
• 33:38
  Speaker F: He's.
• 33:39
  Speaker B: He's kind of. He'd like, run and then he kind of looks behind him like in every
• 33:42
  horror movie where the person is like, could probably just focus
• 33:45
  a little bit more.
• 33:46
  Speaker D: All right. Here.
• 33:48
  Speaker B: Oh.
• 33:51
  Speaker E: 10.
• 33:52
  Speaker B: That is not. What are you shing with crossbow? a
• 33:55
  shortw short, though. Yeah. You pull an arrow out, notch
• 33:58
  it, fire down, and any misses.
• 34:01
  Speaker D: I'm a little dizzy from all the climbing.
• 34:03
  Speaker G: That's true.
• 34:03
  Speaker B: And you just got broken out.
• 34:05
  Speaker F: Yeah.
• 34:05
  Speaker E: and I'm a little silly and you're silly.
• 34:07
  Speaker D: Yeah's. I go o.
• 34:09
  Oops.
• 34:11
  Speaker B: At least you didn't hit the guard.
• 34:13
  Speaker D: Ah.
• 34:13
  Speaker F: what did like do la
• 34:16
  we.
• 34:17
  Speaker B: Go back to the top of the order. With Quinn, AKA
• 34:20
  Lil Sauce.
• 34:21
  Speaker F: Am I able to use magic missile now too?
• 34:23
  Speaker B: Yeah, you could use ma. Okay, so that's three
• 34:26
  bolts. You can aim them differently.
• 34:29
  how many?
• 34:30
  Speaker F: Your what?
• 34:30
  Speaker B: So there's three total.
• 34:33
  Speaker F: What's, the one closest to me, I'm gonna aimo two, with him and one in
• 34:36
  another.
• 34:36
  Speaker B: Well, the one that's closest to you, the one probably that got it that ripped its
• 34:39
  own arm off. so it's pretty.
• 34:40
  Speaker F: Do one at him and two it another.
• 34:42
  Speaker B: All right, sounds good. So you roll me that damage.
• 34:45
  Four damage. It instantly gets vaporized by your
• 34:48
  magical bo.
• 34:49
  Speaker F: Cool. two.
• 34:51
  Speaker B: Two.
• 34:52
  Speaker F: Okay, three.
• 34:55
  Speaker B: Three. Awesome. You managed
• 34:57
  to fire several bolts, all of which slam
• 35:00
  into. Did you say you were gonna do two on the same one
• 35:03
  or spread them all?
• 35:04
  Speaker F: One on the first guy, and that was rol we two on a second.
• 35:07
  Speaker B: So you obliterate that first guy,
• 35:09
  100% instantly. Just gets slammed by your
• 35:12
  magic. Just shatters into pieces so small all, that it's
• 35:15
  practically vaporized. The second one, you fire two of
• 35:18
  your bolts at. Bam. Bam. Both slamming into it,
• 35:21
  dealing a total of five extra damage, leaving
• 35:24
  it glitchy in a sense. Like, as it moves, it kind of
• 35:26
  like has this weird twitch to it. It seems like you may have
• 35:29
  dislodged some of the gears and stuff that makes it work.
• 35:32
  it's still coming, obviously, but it definitely looks
• 35:35
  like it's been pretty severely injured. Jumping back over to
• 35:38
  fatty. You are, up, sir.
• 35:39
  Speaker E: So he's going to take
• 35:42
  a brief glimpse at his surroundings.
• 35:45
  The little munchkin that's chasing
• 35:48
  the guard is that.
• 35:50
  Speaker B: That one's dead.
• 35:51
  Speaker E: That one's dead.
• 35:51
  Speaker B: That's the one he hit with his. His magic ball.
• 35:54
  Speaker E: So which munchkins are laughed and I, guess what is their
• 35:56
  positioning?
• 35:57
  Speaker B: Yes, there's the one that was trying to get you in the foot. And then there's the one
• 36:00
  that attacked Roick Ak silly
• 36:03
  frly will I.
• 36:03
  Speaker D: Thank you.
• 36:04
  Speaker E: I guess. Look down at his feet, at the little
• 36:06
  munchkin right in front of y.
• 36:10
  Just kind of do like a
• 36:13
  you, show not pass type of action with
• 36:16
  this. Yeah,
• 36:18
  he'll try one of those things.
• 36:20
  Speaker B: It.
• 36:22
  Speaker E: Oh, that's why he is a fighter and not a
• 36:24
  wizard, because that was a one.
• 36:26
  Speaker G: Oh, definitely. You're
• 36:29
  all stabbed it into your.
• 36:32
  Speaker B: So what happens is as you go to slam down on this
• 36:35
  little bot, it stands directly underneath. You have a
• 36:38
  perfect shot, but it reaches up
• 36:41
  and catches it almost perfectly, grabbing
• 36:44
  onto your glaive. And then it pulls right out of your
• 36:46
  hands. And now it holds this glaive.
• 36:51
  Speaker D: Oh, my word.
• 36:53
  Speaker B: Immediately after your turn follows the dolls
• 36:55
  themselves. No. So the one doll
• 36:58
  is holding your glaive and slashes at
• 37:01
  you with it. it's not really
• 37:04
  proficient, so I don't think I can add its proficiency. So that's just a
• 37:07
  straight 10, which I know doesn't hit you. you nimbly
• 37:10
  dodge out of the way, still surprised by this doll
• 37:13
  having taken your weapon right out of your hands. But thankfully
• 37:16
  it's unable to hit you with it. The other one, looks
• 37:18
  up and sees silly frly Willie has climbed
• 37:21
  out of the way and looks for a new target and sees
• 37:25
  Machi off in the distance with nobody bothering him and
• 37:28
  says, I'm gonna go bother him in its mind.
• 37:30
  Speaker D: And it clockw says, you, you,
• 37:34
  rushes.
• 37:34
  Speaker B: Towards you and trips over
• 37:37
  a single bolt that had come out of one of its
• 37:40
  fellow dolls. it picks itself up off the ground and
• 37:43
  starts coming towards you. But it didn't really do too
• 37:46
  much or it didn't get super close. and then
• 37:49
  ironically, we jump over to you, Mai, who's
• 37:51
  seeing this doll slowly moving towards him.
• 37:54
  Speaker D: Hey, stay back there, Phila Noe.
• 37:56
  Speaker C: And Mai tries to reach out with
• 37:59
  his mage hand to stop this
• 38:02
  creature. It's like,
• 38:05
  you know, s. A mage hand is pretty weak and it can't attack
• 38:08
  or grapple, so it's like, ineffective. It's just
• 38:11
  kind of like batting it aside and coming at him. He's like,
• 38:14
  man, if only this hand had some sort of
• 38:17
  substance to it.
• 38:19
  Speaker B: You see, as you cast your mage hand to it to block
• 38:22
  it, it sort of like looks like it's struggling and it's
• 38:24
  like, pushing. And you see it like, digging its
• 38:27
  feet into the ground as it pushes this, this mage
• 38:30
  hand back towards you as it continues to make its way. It definitely
• 38:33
  slows it down, thoughah, if.
• 38:35
  Speaker C: I just try harder. And he grips it
• 38:38
  with the mage hand and then
• 38:41
  he's, exerting his effort. And then you see
• 38:44
  the spectral image of the hand changes
• 38:47
  form slightly. And you see, like a
• 38:50
  skeletal fingers start to grow out of the center
• 38:53
  of it as it turns into
• 38:56
  a, chill touch.
• 38:57
  Speaker B: Oh, very
• 39:00
  cool. So what do I, what do I do for that?
• 39:03
  Speaker C: A ghostly skeletal hand is now wrapped
• 39:06
  around this creature.
• 39:07
  Speaker B: That's right.
• 39:08
  Speaker C: and I make a range spell attack.
• 39:10
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 39:12
  Speaker C: It's gonna be an added 20 to.
• 39:15
  Speaker G: Holy cow.
• 39:15
  Speaker B: Yeah, that's gonna hit.
• 39:18
  Speaker C: Then it's a nice oldle twoub
• 39:21
  two Hole damage. Hey, is this
• 39:23
  creature undead by chance?
• 39:26
  Speaker B: I'm gonna say that it's being
• 39:29
  powered on undead energy.
• 39:32
  Speaker C: O or necrot touch on a hit.
• 39:35
  The target takes necrotic damage.
• 39:38
  It can't regain hit points until the start
• 39:40
  of my next turn.
• 39:42
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 39:43
  Speaker C: And the hand clings to the target in
• 39:45
  the meantime.
• 39:46
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 39:47
  Speaker C: if it's an undead target, it has
• 39:49
  disadvantage on attack rolls against me.
• 39:52
  Speaker B: Oh, okay. Awesome. Yeah, I'm going to say it's definitely
• 39:55
  being powered by undead magic, and I would count that
• 39:58
  as applicable. So what happens is this. This
• 40:01
  finger, this comes out, it kind of just curls around
• 40:04
  this doll, and you just see the doll kind of
• 40:06
  like become very rigid, and it just kind of starts to shake a
• 40:09
  little bit as the magic suctions life
• 40:12
  for some of the undead life force straight out of it. And it
• 40:15
  seems to start to glitch a little bit. Kind of like I was talking about
• 40:18
  before. Fantastic. Awesome. That's very
• 40:21
  cool. Jumping forward, we got
• 40:23
  Jackson.
• 40:24
  Speaker G: Now, before I do my turn,
• 40:27
  I think we've talked about this before, but I kind of want another
• 40:29
  general consensus because I don't remember what we decided
• 40:32
  on. Does hail of thorns
• 40:36
  also apply to throne
• 40:39
  weapons? because the description says
• 40:43
  the next time you hit a creature with a range weapon
• 40:46
  attack. or
• 40:48
  it creates a rain of thorns that sprouts
• 40:51
  from your ranged weapon or ammunition.
• 40:54
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 40:55
  Speaker G: So, I were to throw.
• 40:57
  Speaker B: Sure.
• 40:57
  Speaker G: The morningar that
• 41:00
  suddenly becomes a ranged weapon.
• 41:03
  Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Yeah, I see what you're saying. yeah, I
• 41:06
  would say so. I mean, all things considered, like, the mechanics of D
• 41:09
  and D there, they tend to be
• 41:12
  missing things that like, oh, this is completely
• 41:14
  situational. So I would say this is one of those situations where, like,
• 41:17
  yeah. Morningst stars don't typically say
• 41:19
  thrown, because most people wouldn't do that.
• 41:23
  But in this case, somebody is doing that,
• 41:25
  and I don't see a reason why it shouldn't
• 41:28
  be. If you're somebody that's like a rules lawyer, that's like
• 41:31
  throwing a huge fit about it. It seems kind of unfair because, like,
• 41:33
  again, I can thr it, but the.
• 41:36
  Speaker G: Spell description is pretty vague.
• 41:38
  Speaker B: Right, Right. I would say if anything
• 41:41
  considered a consider it something that you're
• 41:44
  not proficient in. Okay. For the actual,
• 41:47
  like, thrown weapon.
• 41:49
  Speaker G: So no bonuses, just straight roll.
• 41:51
  Speaker B: Right, Right.
• 41:52
  Speaker F: Okay.
• 41:53
  Speaker G: I could do that.
• 41:54
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 41:54
  Speaker G: How good are your dexterity saving throws.
• 41:59
  Speaker B: For everybody?
• 42:00
  Speaker G: Now, for Nick spec. Oh, just specifically for
• 42:03
  construct is still, alive.
• 42:05
  Speaker H: Right.
• 42:05
  Speaker B: Averageage, what is plus three?
• 42:08
  Speaker G: That's pretty good.
• 42:09
  Speaker B: Pretty. Honestly, pretty decent.
• 42:11
  Speaker G: So that that one is still alive, correct?
• 42:13
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 42:14
  Speaker G: I'm gonna throw my morning
• 42:17
  star and I'm going to do
• 42:20
  hail of thorns.
• 42:21
  Speaker B: All right.
• 42:21
  Speaker G: Which to hit with the morning star
• 42:25
  is a 15.
• 42:26
  Speaker B: That's gonna hit five. Five damage.
• 42:29
  Speaker G: Nice. And then it's a
• 42:31
  dexterity saving throw.
• 42:33
  Speaker B: And then, Fatty, you're gonna have to also make this
• 42:36
  just. Ooh, just. I got
• 42:39
  a 21 that.
• 42:41
  Speaker G: You know what? He'll take
• 42:44
  half damage though.
• 42:45
  Speaker B: That's fine. As you see this Morningstar kind
• 42:47
  of spin towards you being hurled from your friend
• 42:50
  Des. And as it slams into the
• 42:53
  doll above you, just kind of out of
• 42:56
  mysterious nothingness, these tail
• 42:58
  of thorns. Yeah. Just come shooting down from
• 43:01
  the. Like I said, it's really just. There's nothing even there. It's not even
• 43:04
  like a portal. They just kind of come out of thin air.
• 43:08
  Speaker E: does an 11 save me from impending
• 43:11
  punctures?
• 43:12
  Speaker B: Jackson, does 11 save him?
• 43:14
  Speaker G: Does.
• 43:14
  Speaker B: All right, so doll will take half damage,
• 43:17
  whereas an extra two damage. All right.
• 43:20
  Speaker G: Just take four damage.
• 43:21
  Speaker B: Sorry. These small
• 43:24
  thorns, come flying out of
• 43:27
  the air. A couple of them embedding into the doll. it
• 43:30
  just kind of, kind of gets slammed as if it's getting like
• 43:33
  punched or something. these thorns kind of embed into its
• 43:36
  little fabric clothing. but it keeps on coming.
• 43:39
  Speaker G: But now something has two weapons.
• 43:41
  Speaker B: That's true. It turns to
• 43:44
  see the morning star and goes pick it
• 43:47
  up. I have to wait till it's turn. Obviously.
• 43:49
  Speaker D: you dark souls Music.
• 43:52
  Speaker B: Whatever the case, we jump over to Silly freely. Willie,
• 43:55
  up on the scaffolding. It's your turn.
• 43:57
  Speaker D: Silly forly Will, he sees that a doll down there has
• 44:00
  become too powerful. Grabbing two weapons,
• 44:05
  he hamm his short bow at and
• 44:07
  aims between the eyes.
• 44:10
  You take out this boss.
• 44:12
  Speaker E: At the same time, Keto is going
• 44:15
  to grant tactical teamwork, which
• 44:18
  is when A creature within 30ft of you makes some
• 44:21
  tech. Rollling a creature within 5ft of you. You can use your
• 44:24
  reaction to grant advantage on that roll.
• 44:26
  Speaker B: Okay, 23.
• 44:29
  Speaker D: I didn't need it.
• 44:31
  Speaker B: All right, sounds.
• 44:33
  Speaker D: Thanks for then that one.
• 44:35
  Speaker B: You're ready an arrow. And this time you're a lot more confident because
• 44:38
  this target isn't moving. It's kind of just standing there,
• 44:41
  slowly reaching for a Morningst star that lays like a
• 44:44
  couple of feet away from it. And you take your aimy fire
• 44:47
  this arrow. Roll me some damage.
• 44:50
  Is anyone close to it Nick
• 44:53
  or, Fatty Ise?
• 44:55
  Speaker C: We're more of acquaintances.
• 45:02
  Speaker D: How did I do that? I Rolled three ones
• 45:05
  with my sneak attack.
• 45:09
  Speaker B: Dam he dam. Okay, so as you fire this
• 45:12
  arrow, the arrow goes flying through the air,
• 45:15
  slams right in dead center into the chest of this doll
• 45:18
  and nails it into the ground. As it does,
• 45:21
  the, glaive slips through its fingers, falls down
• 45:24
  and promptly shoo slices the doll in half.
• 45:27
  Keto your that still my kill.
• 45:30
  Keto, your life now lays on the ground in front of you.
• 45:32
  you can pick it up on your turn.
• 45:35
  Sorry.
• 45:36
  Speaker G: Are there still dolls alive?
• 45:38
  Speaker B: There's still one doll left alive.
• 45:41
  And, it is now
• 45:43
  quinr.
• 45:44
  Speaker F: So I got my staff here. I'm gonna run up to it.
• 45:47
  Speaker D: Wa. Two hands.
• 45:48
  Speaker H: Two hands.
• 45:48
  Speaker E: Wow.
• 45:49
  Speaker B: All right. Well, you don't have anything in your other hand, so you are allowed to
• 45:52
  that. All right. You come running up to it and
• 45:55
  Happy Gilmore golf style. What did you
• 45:57
  roll? Four.
• 45:58
  Speaker G: A four.
• 45:59
  Speaker B: Oof. And you take a swing. And much like
• 46:02
  Happy Gilmore in the earlier part of the movies,
• 46:04
  you missed. Did you do that? I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
• 46:06
  Speaker F: I don't think he misses.
• 46:07
  Speaker E: He misses.
• 46:08
  Speaker F: He just sucks at putting.
• 46:09
  Speaker B: oh, he just sucks at putting. More similar to myself
• 46:12
  whenever I go golfing, you with it
• 46:15
  completely missing the ball, or in this case, the
• 46:17
  doll Alogether. That's okay
• 46:20
  because you turn to look for assistance on this
• 46:23
  final hopefully kill. And you can see
• 46:26
  Fatty, AKA Keido, reaching for his glaive
• 46:29
  on the ground.
• 46:30
  Speaker E: Keido is going to grab it, turn and
• 46:32
  charge. Since sauce is over there.
• 46:35
  He does have advantage on this
• 46:38
  roll due to his pack tactics.
• 46:40
  Speaker B: Right?
• 46:40
  Speaker E: Okay, so he's not gonna get him that one.
• 46:44
  Speaker D: How did you do that?
• 46:45
  Speaker B: Did you roll it?
• 46:46
  Speaker D: That one?
• 46:47
  Speaker E: A net one and a net 20.
• 46:51
  Good thing is the short'take the better of
• 46:54
  the two.
• 46:54
  Speaker B: So as you're running towards, you trip
• 46:57
  ever so slightly on one of the dead dolls. But in the
• 47:00
  process, it angles your glaive just
• 47:03
  perfectly so that you come down to spear
• 47:06
  this bl. Last remaining ball just
• 47:08
  dead center into its body. Roll that
• 47:11
  damage 17. Your
• 47:14
  blade from your glaive goes straight into the
• 47:16
  chest. And the sort of the mass of the
• 47:19
  blade just splits the whole thing in half. It sort of just like kind
• 47:22
  of folds outward as your glaive splits through and in
• 47:25
  two halves, this doll lays there completely
• 47:28
  motionless. All the dolls have been
• 47:30
  killed. But you don't have time to celebrate because
• 47:33
  you hear a voice come from above you.
• 47:35
  Speaker A: Well, it looks as if youve taken out my
• 47:38
  little henchman. How
• 47:41
  frustrating. Took me quite some
• 47:43
  time and quite a bit of my energy
• 47:46
  to bring them to life. But thats
• 47:49
  okay. I think they did a bang up job
• 47:52
  weakening you for me to come in and finish
• 47:55
  the job.
• 47:56
  Speaker B: And as you look above you, you can see almost like a
• 47:59
  spider coming down a web, this strange,
• 48:02
  colorful puppet creature.
• 48:04
  Roick, obviously you recognize it as, the one
• 48:07
  that sort of coaxed you in here. And it
• 48:10
  slowly descends just about maybe 30ft
• 48:13
  above most of you. Except for, of course you, Roick, who's on the
• 48:16
  scaffolding or on the walkway. he's maybe like just kind
• 48:18
  of 10ft, maybe 5, 10ft away.
• 48:21
  Speaker D: Is he like monologuing as he's like.
• 48:23
  Speaker B: Coming down a little bit?
• 48:24
  Speaker D: Can I just shoot the rope above him?
• 48:26
  Speaker B: Yeah, go for it.
• 48:27
  Speaker D: Okay, well, he's mid monologue. I'm just gonna aim.
• 48:29
  Speaker B: He's got me.
• 48:30
  Speaker H: Monologue 21.
• 48:32
  Speaker B: 21. You pull out your arrow and he goes,
• 48:35
  wait a minute. Flies for, hits the
• 48:38
  string, slicing it. which, to be fair, I'm pretty
• 48:41
  sure Mythbusters, prove it. This isn't really a thing
• 48:44
  that happens. But by. I digress. It's more fun.
• 48:46
  Speaker D: It hit it.
• 48:47
  Speaker B: It hits it and it slices the string, causing
• 48:50
  the puppet to fall to the ground. Just as he's
• 48:53
  about to hit the ground,
• 48:56
  he disappears and reappears on the staff. They
• 48:59
  not too far from you, like.
• 49:00
  Speaker D: Right next to me.
• 49:01
  Speaker B: Close. Not quite next to you. And he says,
• 49:04
  that was a clever.
• 49:05
  Speaker A: Trick, much like when you shocked my hand
• 49:07
  earlier. But you won't get that
• 49:10
  lucky.
• 49:11
  Speaker D: This T ro sticks his hands up and
• 49:13
  starts like. He starts like, making like tickle fingers and
• 49:16
  goes, let me out him, Let me out him. He's gonn start
• 49:19
  charging Adam to go shock him.
• 49:21
  Speaker B: And as you charge Adam to shock him again, we
• 49:24
  will end tonights episode on a cliffhanger.
• 49:32
