Uncle Blaze · Rotgrind - Narrative Declaration

• Are you all excited for another amazing episode of Rotgrime? That's Speaker D's impression of dying in fire. And then I'm strangling Speaker with a polo. That's how it's going to go. That's how I'll end my life. But hi, everybody. Welcome to another exciting episode of Rotgrime. You probably want to watch the last episode because we're kind of going straight into it. So Thurston, as all of us get closer to our microphones, make sure everyone can hear us nice, loud, and clear. Hello. Hello. Thurston, what whores do you have for us today? Back, I got a pint of bourbon. Nice. Today, we follow our destined band of chuckle fucks as they entered the smoldering city, a rune, hours from the peripheral borders of the great city of Outset, and now kindled by some divine force. That divine force being Uncle Blaze, who has taken direct possession of the leader of the Children of the Blaze, Denny Elort. And we begin with Elort, now fully subsumed by the power of Uncle Blaze. Let's get some art here. As he is now ablaze, his hand clutching out a floating symbol of Gatharim, Uncle Blaze himself, his body on fire. Yeah, okay, we're not fucking around. Everybody roll initiative for your character, please. Ready for action. Thurston, it is significantly smoky and fiery here. Can I potentially do stealth as my initiative? Absolutely. Hell yeah. It's a 30 on initiative. Sweet. 23. Can I do a backflip and use athletics for my... Yeah. Yeah, sure, you want to, you know. Okay, good, okay. Can I be first in initiative? Yeah. How about no? I'm clicking the beginning counter button. The Lord whose flesh has begun to slough off. Yes, 38. He's a boss. If you want to, if you would like to go through your respective initiative scores, noting that Denny Elort is 8 above the highest of you, you may start and tell everybody. All right. I have 30 initiative? I got a 27. Speaker? I've got a 23. I thought I was way further down. I've got a 23 as well. And Oren's got a 22. Stinkin'. Oren! All right. And with that, Denny Elort will go first. He will spend his first action to use one of his abilities. He will coalesce ash, which will allow him to make an ashen simulacrum. Anywhere within 60 feet. He will drop it right there. And then for his second action, he will begin casting a spell. He will start off. Let's start small. We'll start with a divine immolation that has a 120 foot range. I will drop it right there as he creates a divine holocaust that falls and causes the area around the pillar of flame, which at this point, by the way, after he stepped forward, his face began to slough off. The immense pillar that has been emitted from the center of the smoldering city has burst outwards, now kind of encompassing you as an arena of flame. But he, in that moment, as you were all kind of getting your bearings after this happened, the pillar expanding out past you, not burning any of you. But you will take fire anyways, because he's going to cast this spell. You should all see this spell that I have dropped in chat. You should also be able to click on your tokens and give me the appropriate save. So please go ahead and do so. Okay. Okay, I will make a basic reflex save for you, Thurston Hillman, the GM. He gots. Oh! Orend! Got a 21. He's going to spend a hero point! I think I am also going to spend a hero point. Because damage right at the get-go sucks! I rolled a natural 20! Let's go! Let's go! I'm going to just... I'm just going to take the damage. I rolled a 20. I rolled a 30. I rolled a 30. Because Orend's die came over and slammed into mine, making it a 3. I only got a 26. It's like I pushed your result over so I could get a crit. Like, get out of the way! All right. So Baldrick fails. Tannhauser fails. Rahua's success. And Veena and Orend are critical successes. So you will take no damage from this. So the... I'm going to roll the damage here. One sec. Not a lot. Okay. So the failures will apply to Baldrick and Tannhauser. So I will do that. I'm hit. And then Rahua, you will take half damage. However, the failures will also take 2d6 persistent fire damage. So Tannhauser and Baldrick, both of you are now on fire. As Alort walks forward, waves his cane. Again, his face melting off. Gorgamunger doesn't take damage here because he's considered part of our dear friend because of the summonery rules. I believe that's how that works, right? Or do you have to make a save for Gorgamunger? Oh, it's a companion. That's right. It's not an Eidolon. I forgot. My bad. That's right. Got him. Yeah, yeah. Got him. He made a 30. 30. So yeah, you'll take half damage on this. So we'll pop that there. Sorry about that. Okay. No, you're good. Okay. So with that, he twirls his cane and this just blasts of fire come down. He has then also conjured forth one of his ashen simulacrum of himself, this sort of gray figure straight up ahead. And that is Mr. Alort's go. Rahua, you are up. Absolutely. Rahua is going to take the opportunity to move a little further away because we don't want to be all grouped up. If another wave of fire happens, we're going to move. As you're moving, Zorin, did you get all everybody's hero points spends on those? I only heard me do hero points. So I didn't get anybody else. I also did a hero point. Okay. I'll get you. Cool. All right. So Rahua, you move up. Correct. And Rahua's going to move up to there and looking at Mr. Alort across the arena. Rahua is going to drag the forces of entropy down upon him and cast stagnate time. Let me draw a circle. Oh, no. He's drawing a circle. I'm drawing. Fear me. He shapes. Oh, I died. Foot circle. I'm going to move it. You can do it, Mr. Rahua. You can hit both. Okay. There we go. And I will cast it first. Boom. Oh, no. Let's get rid of that one. Oh, there's double. There's double circles. Okay. I can't do that yet. As yet. Okay. All right. And you need a will save. Well, actually, both the simulacrum and Alort will need one. Okay. The simulacrum will not because it is. Oh, actually, let me see. Oh, no. Well, okay. Let's do it. Uh, he will succeed and the ashen simulacrum will succeed. So, on a success, they are unaffected. Okay. Okay, they are fine. And technically, this would happen at the beginning of their turns, by the way. Correct. Yeah. So, okay. Cool, cool, cool. So, they make their saves from the beginning of their turns. Awesome. Gotcha. Great. And turn. Cool. Um, yeah. And then to Baldrick. Yep. All right. So, Baldrick is on fire. So, I don't want to take that. I'm going to, uh, I'm going to spend my turn to put myself out. Or try to. Okay. You can actually just spend two actions and that just reduces the DC for when you make the check at the end of the round. Okay. I'm going to spend two actions for that then. Cool. And then you get one if you want to reposition or move around. Uh, I'm going to go into stealth. Because I feel like it has been completely obliterated at this point because I got hit by an explosion. Okay. So, I'm going to roll a stealth again. Yeah. But not an initiative because that would be stupid. Correct. I'm going to evade notice. So, I'm kind of hiding behind Veena, I guess. All right. That's a five. So, that's a 21. Okay. Uh, you're not sure how effective that is, but no worries. Uh, okay. Uh, if you end your turn, it will prompt you and then just click the roll button and the DC will be lowered. So, it won't auto-calc that. But, okay. Uh, click the roll recovery. Come on. Okay. No, you're actually good because you spent the two actions. It reduces it down to five. So, you're good. And you take no damage because, um, you spent the action. So, you actually get to make the check before taking the damage. Yeah. I'm pretty. All right. There we go. That's my turn. Ten Hezor, you're up. Okay. Uh, so I take the fire damage immediately, yes? No. End of your turn. End of my turn. Okay. Cool. Um, I think what is going to be necessary, I don't think I have a lot of time for movement here. I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and cast on myself a fourth level resist energy. Okay. Um, which I try. Yeah, obviously. Yeah, obviously. Yeah. Okay. Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, sorry. I popped out the window and, uh, the foundry doesn't like that. So, I'll put that on to, um, let's see. Fourth level, I can target up to two creatures. I'm going to choose myself, and I'm also going to choose, uh, Vina. Okay. I think I can put these effects on you one sec. Vina, wah, wah. There you go. And then with my one remaining action, I'm going to put Laughing Shadow on myself. Great thing. I'm going to activate my Arcane, uh, Cascade, and that's all I got. Awesome. Cool. You may end your, your turn and move to Vina. Uh, oh yeah, you'll take fire damage, so you can click the recovery check. Very good. And you'll take no damage because of your resistance. Yay. I got it. That one. Nothing bad happens there. It's, it's a flat check, so we don't do complications or anything. Oh, nice. So, you're good. All right, Passantina, you're up. Oakley Doakley. Um, well, getting, I, I definitely want to stop clumping up. So, let's see. I've got a good bit of movement, but I don't think it's enough to get me to him. Oh, it's just enough. Just enough. Okay. Sick nasty. So, I'm going to, uh, tumble through to get there and back here. Okay, so you are moving into, like, past him and then back out, right? Yeah. Uh, because for the slow time, you have to start your turn there, right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay. Sick. Um, so I'm going to give you a little acrobatics roll here. Oh, wait. Targeting him. There we go. Not ideal. That'll, that'll pass. That'll pass. Okay. Um. Ganache. Yeah. Uh, oh, nice. Um, and then I'm going to attack the simulacrum and see if I can't get rid of it. Yeah. Do it up. Oh! Okay. Good start. Good start. Good start. That's a net 20. That's a net 20. Uh, let's roll the crit damage with the, okay, finisher box is ticked. Let's go! Oh, beautiful. Oh. That'll be, uh, 66 points of damage for you, Thurston. Well, damn. The simulacrum disappears. Oh. Oh. Oh. All right. And, uh, that's my three actions. That would be your three actions. Going to, uh, uh, point at Uncle Blaze, raise the rapier at him and say, your turn. Uh, and I'm going to end my turn. He's going to boil you now. All right, Orin. Yeah, I'm going to burst into flames now. Thank you. You will be boiled. Orin's going to clap his hands. Just pow! Pow! And then basically come out a little acorn. And they go, Mr. Baldrick, punch this. Yeah. And he holds it up. What? Punch it. What? Punch the acorn. What? Punch my nut. No. Bust his nut, Baldrick! Baldrick is going to fade into the shadows or attempt to do so. No! He runs into the firewall. He just goes into it. No, I'm stealthing. He can't see me. No, okay. He turns around like, where'd Bust it go? Mr. Tannhauser raises up the nut. I need you to punch it or destroy it. It would be an honor to bust your nut. And I will summarily throw a Keltrop at it. And act out of your round. I'm sure he's just casting a spell for narrative effect. Yeah, for narrative effect. Technically, it's a scroll, but I'm using his nuts. The scroll of summon healing servitor. Oh, yeah. So basically, this thing's a little complicated. So feel free to help me out there. So basically, this thing shows up. It's like a little guy. He's like a large creature. As soon as he shows up, he goes, wall and everyone within his radius of 20 feet. You get 20 temporary hit points until the servitor departs. So I want to see if I can get that figured out. The 30-foot emanation does have a button. Yeah, that's when he disappears when he departs. When he arrives, pretty much he appears in a flash of light, moving from ally to ally, grabbing him a temporary reprieve. All allies within 20 feet of the servitor gain 20 temporary hit points until the servitor departs. So I'm basically just trying to get everyone like 20 temporary HP and stuff. Unfortunately, I don't have like a token or a thingy. It's not activating a thing. It's not really how some foundry stuff works. So I don't know if there is a healing servitor token or if not, we can just put like a little thing. Like a circle. A huge one. One sec. One sec. That, or I can just put it on me and see if it does a thing. Yeah, I can grab you a huge token. One sec. One sec. Let's do something fun here. Yeah, so as you're looking for that, pretty much the counter. It burns. He's like, why not? And then basically just this glowing, just like kind of like Trent tree-like creature just kind of comes forth and basically starts radiating healing stuff. And starts helping everybody. Where do you want it? Where you put it is actually pretty good. That should get everybody in a 20-foot radius, I believe. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. So everybody, if you can do the spell effects, summon healing person, put that on yourself. That'll give you 20 temporary HP. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Also, if you have your Aeon Stone invested, remember to apply that to yourself. Oh, yes. You'll get one HP every minute. Wee. Okay. Yeah. Sorry, it's a huge creature, but you get the idea. Yeah. Sorry, I just ignore that. I was removing the necrotic bomb from my inventory because it's not there anymore. And so they took all three of Oren's actions, and he goes, thanks for the assist. And that's the end of his turn. Okay. Okay. Elort is going to go. The melting Elort looks up at Yuvena after you smash through the simulacrum. Uh, his, his care for temporal dynamics is nothing, because he seems unaffected by the effects that Ruhu has placed down. But he looks at Yuvena. This city is just a reminder of what happens when you mortals don't listen! Uh, he then moves over to here, out of the area of effect. Oh, sorry. He then spends another action to create yet another action simulacrum. Sorry, Thurston. Uh, for Grogamonger's thing, he's just going over this way. Yeah, for sure. Good call. Thanks, chat members. We'll drop that there. And then for his final action, uh, he will target you, Veena, and unleash a gout of flame. Well, don't do that. Oh! Oh! Miss Bob, what? Miss! Miss! I'll hit you with a villain point. Ah! Mark me down. Villain points, no! Bastard! Why did I agree to put that in our system? Bastard! I'm just going to roll the damage here now. Ooh! Chat, you did this! Uh, so you'll take, uh, I'm going to apply this damage. I don't know how much it'll resist, so, because you have the resist energy, so I'm just going to put this on you. One sec. Yeah, and then I've just got to add 10 back to you, because, yeah. Cool. Okay. Yeah, resistance 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. Cool. All right, so, yeah, you take 14 and are also on fire. Cool. All right, uh, and then that will be his go. Rahua, you're up. Oakley, Oakley, Rahua's going to, um, actually not going to do anything in terms of moving. Uh, but Rahua will outstretch his hand to Vina, and the other hand to Mr. Alort, and speak into the air with a reverberant, nightmarish tone. Ooh, Rastavkar, Grushkar! Yeah, and Vina, your wonderful little cannon begins glowing. You hear strange ethereal whispers from it. Alort will need to make a save, because I'm going to cast, with Reach spell, Implement of Destruction. Ooh! You want to drop that in the chat? Yeah. Sure do. When I solemnly declare that that target weapon will bring death to a foe, Implanting, and a rational fear of the weapon to the target enemy. This link echoes the forefront of the enemy's mind, and he critically succeeded, so it doesn't matter. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Well. Yeah, um, there is no fear in the eyes of this nascent god. Ooh! Well, I tried. Sorry, Halky. I got one action left. No, I Reach spell, I can't. Oh, that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Baldrick, you're up! All right, so, uh, having, uh, I don't, I'm not terribly pleased with that stealth role, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go into stealth again. Yeah. To hopefully do a better job of it this time. And then I'm going to try to reposition somewhere else, provided I do good on the stealth first, I need to make sure I'm not targetable. No, same roll. No, uh, worse, actually, 19. Whatever, I'm just going to move. Okay. I'm not allowed to do that, so let's see. Where can I go? Why is it not marking my movable distance? Hold on. Yep, 20. All right, so I'm going to move 20 feet. Crud. You can move through the big thing if you need to. No, because I don't want to move next to anyone. I'm trying to not cluster up, because that's a bad idea. Yeah. Uh, Thurston, about how, how, how wide is the perimeter of this fire ring that we're stuck in? It's like, average is like 10 feet-ish. I mean, like, is, is this fine where I'm pointing to? No, you're fine in there. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay, I'm going to move 20 feet there, and then reposition another 20 feet further down. I'm repositioning because trying to fight from where you're standing at the beginning of battle is a bad idea, and I end my turn. Okay. Tannhauser, you're up. Okay. Um, let's see. What to do. Um, I think I would probably be best served rushing after a lord, right? Yeah. You want to get close to your mic a little bit for me? My mistake. Thank you. So, let's see. I can get to here. Two rounds, yeah. Yeah, like in the middle of the arena. I don't think that would be two rounds because I'm, uh, laughing shadowed, right? Oh, yeah, that's right. You got the plus five. Yeah, yeah. Um. Yeah, you're good. So, let's see. Do I have anything good for two actions? Um. Yes, I do, actually. Um, he is about. How far away is he? Da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's within range. So, I'm going to simply take one of my caltrops, put a lot of energy, like hold it between my forethumb, uh, my index finger and my thumb. What spell did you cast when you went into your arcane cascade? Uh, I cast, uh, the beautiful, beautiful shield spell. Yeah, so what is that? What damage type is that? Uh, I, fire, I suppose? No, no, it's when you cast a spell, like the, because your arcane cascade gives you damage based on that, right? I don't think, no, you're thinking of, um, a spell weapon. Okay, arcane cascade just gives me, like, damage, I suppose. I don't think it's, uh, themed that way. Anyway. Yeah, but your laughing shadow is when you. Let me, let me check that real quick, actually. Yeah, because your laughing shadow is when you go into your cascade. Right, I'm sorry, I, but you need to activate cascade off of a spell. Yeah, so you, you, when you say you activate laughing shadow, you're activating arcane cascade. Yes, and laughing shadow is a sub. Yes, that's right. And then you would get, yeah, yeah, okay, cool. Just make it. My apologies. You're good. Um, regardless, I am going to store potential energy between my thumb and my index finger, and I'm going to cast Magnetic Acceleration. Okay. Targeted at Mr. Elort. Sure. It's an attack roll. Yo, let's rock. You're gonna hit him. I hit him for a 34. So the Caltrop goes skittering across the field. See how well it does its job. For 20 damage. Uh, Elort takes 20 damage. Uh, he will react to that. Very good. Um, he will... React with Vision of Ash. If he is hit by an attack, which this would be, he can create another action simulacrum. Uh-oh. Oh, joy. Oh, joy. Create one right there. Okay, go. Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! All right, that's my turn. Yeah, so another Ashen simulacrum kind of appears between, uh, Rahua and Baldrick. Uh, there's one by the Healing Servitor and Vena. Uh, Tanhauser, uh, yeah, roll that recovery check. You fail, but you take no damage because your resist is high, so that is that. Okay. Very good. Okay. Okay. Uh, okay, uh... Um, so I can cross through just so long as I don't start my turn there, yeah? Yes. Okay. Um, so I'm going to go... Uh, or first, first action, I'm actually going to chug a Potion of Quickness. Okay. Go, go. Go. Gonna use that. So draw and drink, so two actions. Okay, so that would be two actions. Yeah. Um, and so I would have two actions remaining? I imagine the haste takes? Yeah, yeah, so the haste would take effect now, so you'd get your free stride or strike. Okay, so I would get my free stride or strike. Uh, so I'm gonna use my free stride to get here. Um, and then one action left. I'll just hit him normal style for now and go for the finisher next round. Normal style, I like it. I'll hit him normal style. All right. Whiffed. Oh! Oh, it's a natural one. Oh, I hate these dice. I hear the whiff sound before I saw the one. Uh, okay. Um... Okay, well, let's see. Um... The dice giveth and the dice titheth. Oh, there's a couple things here, so let's, uh... I know, I know, right? I'm sorry. Um... Wow. Okay, let's see here. So that was a attack run. There's so many of these that are, like, funny, but they're only funny in, like, an urban environment. Like, oh, man, a cop comes in and gives you a ticket. That's not happening here. That would be really funny to have that. Yeah, he runs through the fire. Yeah, right, like... The ashen simulacrum appears, only to give me a parking ticket. Oh, no. Um... Dear God. Uh... Like, yeah, these ones are kind of, kind of tricky. Um... Ooh... I am going to use this one, uh... From the River Willow Druid that is, uh, just called the Sword of Damocles. And I can just apply a complication later in the future at my choosing. No! No! I like that one. That's a fun one. That's a good one. Hey! Fuck you, fellow Patreon member! Nah, I'm joking. Thank you, fellow Patreon member. We're at Patreon.com, first listener to Deck the Rage, when you can make it suffer. What's up, fellow Patreon member, as though Zoran is part of his own Patreon. We are. We're all a part of it. All of it. How do you do, fellow Patreon members? Hey, you, uh, uh, you also ended your, uh, move within range. So, um, uh, can you, uh, click on this reflex save I just put into chat, uh, Vina? I just click on the little man. The money. I clicked on the little man. Cool. You get a good success. You're fine. Yay! I'm fast as fuck. You don't take fire damage from him as you get close. Ah. You think you're so hot. His melting face cocks towards you. Uh, is that your go now? Yeah. Draw, da-da. Yeah. Yep. Uh, all right. Oren, you're up. Oh, and V. I am persistent. Would take fire, but doesn't take any. Just roll recovery. Uh, nar. Excellent. Excellent. All right. Oren. Hmm. I'm sorry for hooming. I had an idea. Um, I might as well do this now. Juvenile flight! So I don't have to worry about ground stuff. Basically, I could fly around today. Sure. Yeah, so part of his two actions, Oren Canal, like, fly around. Here's his flight speed and everything else. Uh, for his final action, he's gonna... Just kind of flap, flap over. Uh, he's gonna go right over, uh, his little healing thing. Uh, about... And then your healing thing departs, I think, right? Uh, basically, he stays for... To the end of my turn, he goes away. So basically, the servitor's disappears at a 30-foot emanation of vital energy. All willing creatures within, uh, heal 3d8 hit points. Oh, damn it. So I'll put this. Yep. Ho! There we go. Uh, so pretty much everyone except, uh, dear Vena will be healed for 3d8 hit points. Let me get that roll there for you. Healing. Except Vena. Let me, uh, let me get that there for you. And just, ho! Ho! And that'll be 15. Nice. And then that thing goes away. And I am, uh... I will select myself and heal. I should be 10 feet up. Come on, 10 feet. 10 feet. I type 10 feet. 10 feet. There we go. That is the end of Oren's turn. So I can only go up 10 feet because otherwise the air pressure is too high. I went forward and up a little bit so, like, the distance and 3d gets weird. Thurston. Thurston. Thurston. Yes, hi. Sorry. Uh, I hit the music. So I was eating your poutine. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I know, right? All right. Denis Elort will go. He will start by, um... Oh, gosh. He'll start by creating another action simulacrum. Oh, wait. I need to put the haste effect on myself. There we go. That'll go fast. Perfect. Gonna drop an action Elort there. Don't do that. Uh, then he will, for his second action, um, he, like, fumes. Um, so this allows him to place a 15-foot burst out of himself or any, um, creature within 15 feet. So, uh, or any of the, the simulacrums, so he is going to actually drop it on this one here. Um, I will put this in chat. Rahua and Oren. This will still hit you, Oren, because it goes up. Uh, please give me a fortitude save. There's a thick cloud of smoke billows out from this duder. Oh, roll the nat one. Oh, it begins. Rahua rolled the nat one. Oh, my God. I'm going to hero point that. We can't. We can't. We can't. I forgot. So both of you, uh, sickened two from this, which is pretty cool. Um, yeah, that's, that's pretty neat. Um, and then let me just drop these. Would you? Sickened. Uh, oh, God. Sickened two, not sickened five. Okay, perfect. Uh, yeah, so both of you are sickened two, uh, as a, like, great, great billow of ash appears to come out of the, uh, Hessian simulacrum. Um, um, and then, uh, Mr. Alort will, uh, see you there, Veena, and attack you with his cane. Oh, yes. Okay. I'll crit you. So that's a nice critical hit. Yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty good. I, I guess I should have declared my nimble dodge, huh? You can nimble dodge. You can nimble dodge. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll try to at least stop the crit. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to assume, I'm going to assume you're going to have two options anytime I attack you, which will be to nimble dodge to get your AC higher, or to, uh, wait to do the riposte. So, I'm going to assume, unless you tell me otherwise, you want the nimble dodge most of the time. Dolgen. Okay, cool. Uh, then regular damage here. Still a lot. Not really, only nine points of damage because of the resistance. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, so. It's still good. Yeah. Good spell to Houser. Good spell. Good spell. Good spell. You're welcome, Houser. Okay, uh, and, like, he will, like, as he, like, slashes at you with the, the cane. You think I could unleash all this devastation and could just destroy you with a thought? Uh, Ruhua, you're up. As you cough in the ashen cloud of death. Ruhua's going to move one space over. I'm still dragging it. Not, there we go. Walk out. I'm going to make a fortitude save to try and dismiss that effect. Oh, uh, the second? Yes. Uh, yeah, yeah, so you. Reduce it, rather. Wretching, yes. Uh, 28. A 28 will, will reduce it by one, so that will go down. You'll be sickened one now. Shmowow. And we're going to target that entity there. And I'm going to hit him with my mossy pick. Okay. He had the wrong item. He's hitting those ashen men. Yeah, roll me down. Demagio. 40 damage. Nice. Then again, we know these guys don't exactly, uh, have a lot of health. You dissipate the, uh, the action simulacrum. Delightful. You okay in there, Oren? He's having a bad time. Sound of Oren in a domestic oven. No. I'm really getting rotisserie chickened here, boys. Oh, it's getting cooked. His goose is cooked. Baldrick, it's your go. Uh, Baldrick is going to continue skirting around the perimeter, uh, but this time I'm going to try and make another stealth check and make it actually good this time. Okay. I believe. Better. That's significantly better. That's 27. Okay. And he's going to continue repositioning. I'm going to keep making moves around the perimeter so I don't have to do quite as much. I also would like to be close to the action. So he gets a little bit closer, two moves up, and that's the end of my turn. Again, I can't do a whole lot because there's a lot happening. Okay. Tanazer, you're up. All right. So I can either deal with the Ashen Simulacrums or get in on the boss. What do you guys think I should do? I'm going to have Gorgomonger deal with the Simulacrums the best I can. Your damage is best on boss. You should engage the enemy in melee and take fire damage. So I am going to cast Flowing Strike as Tannhauser briefly steps out of the time stream. And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to move myself right here. Okay. Well, I'm going to try to. Here we go. Yeah. I'm going to move myself right here, actually. Okay. I'm going to hit our good friend with a Flowing Strike. Sure. So I will make a strike at him. And I will get a 35. That will hit him. So I will strike my target, dealing 2d10 bludgeoning damage, which is not fantastic. Plus my Laughing Shadow, which I believe is plus two. Okay. So not spectacular, 12. The big thing is that I'm going to push him 10 feet in this direction. Oh, I'm going to try to push him here, which I believe will also warrant attacks of opportunity from myself and Vina. Force movement? I don't think so. Force movement. Okay. Well, fair enough. The important thing is there are a couple of things that are now going to happen here. So first off, when you end your move, you enter his Aura of Heat. So I need you to click on the save I put in chat. Of course. Absolutely. Give me a save against fire. Nice. Good save. So just half this. Which is pretty good. So you will take 14, which becomes four. Four. Four. Uh, yes. So you'll take four. Uh, no, half of it because you succeeded. So 12, then, yeah. Because it's half of 2d6 because you succeeded. Order of things. Um, then he gets pushed. Then he reacts. Uh. Um, his reaction will be different this time. He will use Ashen Escape. And he will replace this Ashen Simulacrum. Oops, not that. He will replace this Ashen Simulacrum here. The boss is dead. As, as basically you push him. He flies back. And as he does, he turns into ash. Explodes in the strange, distorted time stream. And then appears right under Oren in the, the smoke lands. I want to put him back in initiative. Damnation. Oh yeah. God damn it. Will he have to worry about his own spell? Like we do? Huh? You don't know that. Oh. I imagine. I don't know. Well, we're going to find out. If you're referring to the cloud effect that is there. Yes. Um, it is safe to assume he probably is not, but. Okay. Fair enough. I will enter. Oh, and I do get to try and roll, uh, recovery. Yeah. Because I could roll an 11 or something. Nothing happens. Cool. Yeah. View crit fail, but it doesn't matter. Veena, you're up. Okay. Um, entering that cloud is no good for me. I'm sorry. You're, uh, you're, I don't know if you have like snacks or like a tic-tac or something. I'm just imagining Veena everything on fire. Just like, hmm, tic-tac. That was me getting a tic-tac. Yeah. Sometimes I just need a bit of a refresher. Tic-tac runs into the fire. It was way too casual about this. Damn, how are we going to take care of this fire god, guys? Hold on. I'm popping an Advil real quick. All right. Um. Yeah, I'm not much of a ranged fighter, so I might just have to brave the smoke and try my best not to end my turn there. Yeah. Well, I guess I have to reposition, too, because he's out of range of me now. He's gonna be tricksy. He's gonna be, uh, poofing around. Um. So, I am going to 35 feet. Uh, first action, I'll tumble through. Okay. Uh, put myself. Now you have to give me a four-digit save. So, it's upon entering, yes. Yeah, for this one, it's entering. There you go. Yeah, fair enough. Oh, natural 20? Yay! Okay, we take those. We take those. Yay! Peace and save. Knock on wood, knock on wood, knock on wood. Knock on wood. Um. All right. So, I'm going to tumble through him with my first action. Rolling that acrobatics. 26. Um. I don't know if I... Okay. No, that. You have pure points, though. Yeah, I'm gonna hear a point. That one. Pure points for days here, y'all. Yeah. Fans love you. They want you to do well. That was worse. Um. But it wasn't a... So, no... What happens if you critically fail? I don't know. I think... I don't think it's that terrible. No, there's no critical fail. Okay. Oh, okay. You're good. All right. So, that was action number one. Mm-hmm. Uh. Action number two. Mm. I am just gonna have to try it again. I've got a free strike, so I might as well. Um. So, I'll try it one more time. Sure. Uh. You can hero point that one, too. I guess I could. I saw the 14, but I guess it was actually a four. Um. Mm. That sucks. That's not cool. Not cool, brah. Do I save the hero points for when it would kill my ass? Nah, we doing damage. Do it up. Are you fucking kidding? Uh. Yeah, okay. Um. Can I roll above a single digit? No. You were closer that time. Um. But still shy of the prize. Okay. Uh. No panache for me. That was two actions. Um. The funniest thing to do would be to spend an action to do it again. Try to get panache for next turn. Well, because I do get a free strike. Uh. With haste. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. That's true. That's true. Move. Duh, duh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. You could. Yeah. Um. So, you know what? I'll do it because it's fun at chat. I'm going to do this one for you. Let's see if you are down to zero hero points after this round. I'm not sending another. If I fail this one, I fail this one. If you keep back flipping so much, you'll make a draft to make the smoke go away. Smoke goes away. Whee. Yay. That one's a 37. Okay. You do it. Yeah. You get panaches. That one was for you, chat. How many hero points did you spin, Odo? Two. Okay. It's hard for me to hear sometimes. It'll just be very like, like, Zara, you deaf bastard. I can take him down. Take him down, Zara. Take him down. Yeah, it's hard for me to hear it. Oh, you're good. Um, yeah, and then I'm going to hit his ass. Sure. Why not? After a, uh, uh, uh, furious flurry of failed backflips. So, before you do that, I need you to do one thing for me. Sure, sure. Roll concealment. Concealment? Ah! Smoke. Roll a d20. Ooh. For what? Concealment. Smoke. You're good. Okay, we're good. Okay, now you can make your attack roll. Now that we ate that 16, now you can give me, like, a four on the dice here. Stop. Stop. Stop this. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Nine. No. Just shy of the prize. You do have one hero point left, though. You could reroll this attack. Thurston, I'm going to explode. Well, don't worry. You might. You might at this rate. Thurston. You know what? No. I'm keeping my panache. And I'm just going to take this. L and end my turn. Okay. One last thing. Can you give me a reflex save? Yeah. You're in fire range of the fireball. You're in his intense heat range. Intense heat. Okay. Failure on the persistent damage. That doesn't do anything because you take no damage from it. Just give me this reflex save. It dropped in chat. Yeah, you're good. Whoa. I knocked over my water. You haven't been affected by his aura, which is really good. Okay. Oren, you're up. I have a question. Yes. So with the fog radius and everything, right? That came from emanation from the little fog dudes, right? Yeah. How long does it last? Does it require them to exist for it to last? No. It does not require them to exist. Technically on the reaction, would it happen on Tannhauser's turn when he pretty much reacted to it? That thing wouldn't exist at that time? Okay. Okay. So a note, it does not require the guys to exist and the clouds remain for one minute. I know what convention you're going to, Thurston. Yeah, it's fair. It's fair. But I also know we got a whole boss fight, so get good, Scrub. What are you doing? I'm summoning a dragon. Sure. I'm standing up there on that. I'm taking all the stuff. Like, I'm getting another one. Also, Jamie, don't be giving them, don't be giving the players fucking hero points. You're supposed to be on my side. The audience is on your side, Thurston, Mr. I'm eating villain points like popcorn out here. Mr. I'm eating one. Give me another one yet. Thurston out here fucking eating star. I summon forth a flame drake. Oh, why? Because it is immune to fire. Good idea. So is the god of fire. No other dragons, I'm not going to use fire against it. No other dragons had anything which was like water. There's a water drape, it doesn't do anything water-based. Just vomits. Man, this setting is cringe. I hate Pathfinder. What do you mean a dragon can't just puke water onto people? Like a sink. Yeah, just vomit. But I will tell you that will take all three of my turns. But of course, that thing now gets to go, along with Gorgamonger and stuff. We'll just resolve Gorgamonger real quick just to get him out of the way. He will target the Ashen thing. But then I attack, he just bites into it. Or narrowly, he goes... Need a quick moment here, actually. I think one of you deleted me off the page. Oh, no, no, no. The second you said you hated Pathfinder, I just made you disappear from existence. I'll bring you back. There you go. Oh, wow. So good. Bye. This is your GM, guys. I will cast upon Demagia. That is 14 points of damage to the Ashen thingy. It survives. And for... It is skill tangible. And for the fling drink. As it chills out inside. I will basically have it do, because he gets a couple actions here. I'll have it do Draconic Fury. They make two fang strikes and one tel strike in any order. Sure. I'm going to have it target him and just go one fang to Lort. He misses. He does another fang attack. I think pretty much like... It takes two fang attacks in any order. It's like... I have no idea... Oh, that's right. It's basically getting you three attacks and two is what it's doing. So minus attack penalty from the second fang attack. Nothing there. He's so fast. I can miss faster. He doesn't hit any of his attacks. But now, he is there. Alright. Alright. Oh, and Oren, on your turn, give me a... Give me a reflex save for intense heat, please. Natural one, Thurston. He looks at him and just turns into a fireball. No! That's pretty good. Ouch. Yeah, you'll take 48 points of fire damage. As your clothing starts to burst on fire just from being near him. Be right back. I'm going to reenact the Hindenburg disaster. One sec. Yeah. Okay. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! That'll be the end of my turn. Hinden, Hinden, Borgen. Yeah. Yeah, that will be the end of your turn. Okay. Uh, and for that, um, and yeah, so as you, as you were aflame, uh, this, uh, this complication will be from I'm Grapes. Um, as, as you're burning up, Oren, the only thing you hear is honks in the distance. As you think you hear the dreaded honks of the clown army in the distance. There's, there's clowns in the smoke! He's in a suit and lightning. Uh, you're in the frightened condition, excellence. The clown army sent his regards. Yeah. The clown army sent their regards. Oh, no. Well, Lort's gonna go. Huh. Neat. Um. And Lort is going to use his powerful fire attack. Well, I think the first thing he'll do is he'll spend one action to make another little ashen buddy. Then he'll spend his next action. So have a depilate action? Uh, you know, let's do one of these. How do I do this? I don't think I can do this in a way. Well, actually, maybe. I think I can. Oh, boy. There we go. Uh, we're gonna, we're gonna cast a, uh, we're gonna, gonna cast hitting everyone but Mr. Lort there. Uh, we're gonna cast a... Oh, he's in it. Oh, I can, I can drop it so he's not. I think. Zoran, don't try to nickel and dime him. He's going to kill us. We're gonna do it right. No, you're right. We're gonna do it right on Reddit, it's gonna hate us. You're right. I don't think Reddit ever talks about us, really. Reddit already hates us. We have a woman. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Zing, uh, um, yeah, you're right, I can't hit all of you, so I will just hit everyone who's not Veena, because it's funny. Uh, let's have an effect again. Hey, hey, I really love the idea that the, the giant plume of fire that's presumably coming out of the ground and coming with the sound of something vomiting it out just goes in reverse like it's, like it's getting acid reflux. Uh, please, uh, the drake, Ruhua, and Oren, give me, uh, give, give me that fortitude save that's listed there. Okay. This is for the drake, I think. Let me make sure it works. I'm going to re-roll that. Yep, sure. Drake has failed. You make hero heroic point it. Whew, better. There you go. Uh, Oren got a 29 and succeeds. I'm going to get Ruhua's button down. 32 for mine, it succeeds. Second. So I only do 20 damage, so the drake will take 20. And then the, the two of you will take half. So you'll both take 10. And on a failure, the drake is now sickened to one. Which I'm sure will just be great for the drake. Who is it? Oh, that's fine. Creature. Uh, and that is Mr. Elort as he just waves his cane and the ground explodes in a spiritual flaming blast, um, that causes the drake to sort of wither and shake around. Uh, and as he does this with his free hand, he waves out with his cane, which creates an ashen simulacrum. All right. Um, Ruhua, you're up. A wooden guy. Okay. And is the smoke cloud a spell effect, Thurston? Uh, no. Okay. Good to know that the god has said no. Uh, all right. Ruhua, we'll take the opportunity to look at Oren, singed but still breathing, and send a gout of healing energy into him past one of my healings. Cool. Dankster's Paradise Plays. Oh! Yeah. Live, you fool! Ah! The clowns! And you're going to get 54 points of healing. How many actions did you take for that? Oh, then I heal Ruhua. Yeah, heal Ruhua. I get healed twice. Oh. I remember how much I had. Okay. Wait. Do I? You were pretty much healed up. There we go. I got it. I got it. Thank you. All right. That's it. Uh, I will. Eh. Yeah, I'll say that. I feel like I might need to do that. Uh. Good luck, buddy! Andrew is going to fucking just stand right there. Okay. Or move. Okay, you can move. We're at every position. All right, Baldrick, you're up. All right, Baldrick, you're up. Uh, Baldrick is going to move up one, and he's going to swing at this ashen thing as he's moving up. Get ready for the best rolls you've ever seen for a powerful melee combatant. Let's see it. Like Baldrick. I don't know why it insists that I don't have my club drawn. I hate that. Just swing. All right. And then I strike him. What is this? Thrown. No, I'm not throwing this. That'd be silly. I attack with my stick. Hold on, crit- I hit a critical hit. Nice! All right, I critically strike him for an immense void. You guys are ready for this amazing critical hit? Here we go. Twelve! Whack! It's still up. That's great. And now, Thurston, so you said, you just confirmed with Hulky, right, that this cloud is not magical in nature, yes? Correct. Correct. So what I'd like to do is, with a frost vial, now I will let you demand that I spend a hero point on this if you would like me to, but I would like to use my knowledge of thermodynamics to throw the frost bomb at the top of the cloud and thus reduce the temperature causing the smoke to fall. Yeah, okay, sure. What will you make me do for that? Just a regular attack? Yeah, make an attack roll. And I would target- just target- keep the- keep the- the dude- the Ashen Simulacrum targeted. We'll use that as a baseline. Not a good AC, I take it? No. Now, questions are you going to make me map for this one, even though I'm throwing it at a cloud? Yes. Okay. Because it is still a second attack. Okay. I am throwing it at the cloud. Nineteen. It'll hit. Uh, give me damage. Okay. I damage the cloud of cold. For 12 damage. Plus 4, so 16 action. And you can mark yourself- mark- mark him down a hero point, please. Taking away one- And that will disperse the cloud there. Oh. That's really good. Whew. And then he'll just re-up it on his turn, but, you know, I'm kind of at the top of the order, so just do something with it. I end my turn. Okay, Tannhuzer, you're up. Okay. Um. Closer to your mic, please. Okay. This guy. This guy. I'm gonna casually walk up to the lord. Yep. And I think I'm going to do something about this unfathomable madman. Um, and so I'm going to, uh, go stop, hold the light over here. Did you have an extra five feet of movement? Yes, I do. From, uh, left of your shadow, right? Do you want to flank? Oh! That would be even better. I got you. You're a real one. I know. Um, okay, cool. Uh, I am just going to, uh, true strike. And I'm then going to dispel weapon. Uh, since it was divination, you'll be getting an additional 1d6 mental damage, should I hit. And I'm going to prep a fourth level shocking grasp spell strike. Ooh! Ooh? So let's try and do something about this guy. There he is. Blast him. All right, cool. I hit. I get to roll again and see if I get a better result. Yep. I don't, so I will take my hit. Mm-hmm. All right. So this is just the normal weapon damage. It's 12. And now for the level four, uh, shocking grasp, it is going to be, let's see, um, 5d12. Do it up. Plus 1d6. Let's rock. So that's 38. Not bad, not bad. And so I'll, uh, launch forward this electrical blade strike. And I'll pass the turn. I will react. That's allowed. I will create another action simulacrum. More. I'm free of damage that I haven't been taking at all. Okay. As another one pops up by you, Oren and Tenhuzer. Vina, your girl. Okay. Um, so I've got flank going with my friends here. I've got my panache. So I'm just going to open up by, uh, stabbing him in the back. Okay. So. Let's give it a shot. A hit. Not critically, unfortunately. Isn't that so sad? That is really sad. It's not applying to things unless a 40 would do it. Um, wait. I would tell, well. Is your weapon out? Yeah, your, your, your weapon out. Let's have a staff out. Yeah. Okay. So you, but you're, okay. And your intent would be to be in reach of him. Okay. Cool. Uh, would that be. So that'll crit. That'll crit. Oh, that'll crit. Yippee! Okay. Okay. We take those. We take those. Nice. Let's give that a shot. Uh, I'll give you 57 points of damage unless he takes reduced cold, which he probably does. Or he takes more cold. So he takes 67. Cool. Nice. He's a god of fire after all. Get that panache out of here. Um, so that was my first action. Second action, I'm going to, uh, do a little tumbling. I am so, I, I can't tumble today. I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to hear a point for a backflip there. Come on, got a hero point. Got three hero points. Come on, give me three. I want to hear a point. Don't succumb to peer pressure. You got three hero points. You got three of them. Chat's been very generous. We can just, we can just say. Come on, don't you want to spend your hero point, Vina? You don't want to. We can just say. Don't you want to gamble? Don't you want to. Don't you want to. Don't you want to. We can just say that her lungs were too full of delicious tobacco smoke to do anything about it. So true. Just remember also though, if fans are giving you more hero points right now, they won't go above three. So really, you're just kind of like denying them the ability to give you more hero points. I mean, for the people. All right. I'll reroll it. Yeah. For the people. For the people! For the people! For the people! For the people! 34! Because we're being so spendthrift with our hero points, I narratively declare that Oren's clothes were made of hemp. Ah! Oh. He's very high now. Yes. He still sees clowns after the field. No, you see them more. What do you mean? He always sees clowns. Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare. He finds out you've been the clowns the entire time. That's right, Rahua. You're made of wood. The boss fight wasn't Uncle Blaze. It was Oren the whole time. Well, hold on. Hold on, Erndel. Rahua's made of wood, star stuff, and metal. So don't forget, I'm very vulnerable to fire. Mostly wood, but yes. Yeah. Okay, so I've got Panache. I'm going to use another action to, I'll hit him in a minus five. Okay. And I'll do my best. I whiff that one. I hear a point. I don't think it's worth it for a multiple attack penalty. He's probably fast as fuck. And then, for my final action. Oh, give me a save, by the way, because you are in his intensity. Oh, yeah. His hot boy aura. Hot boy. Hot boy. Hotcher aura. Technically, Tannhauser would have to do that. Hot boy summer. Oh, yeah. You'll fail that. Okay. So if you can click on that, save two, Tannhauser. I'll do these separately, though. You got it. Because he's hot. He's hot. He is quite hot. Both fails. Do any of you want to re-roll those? You've got here. Yeah. I'm good. I'm good. I want to re-roll it. Okay. Tannhauser re-rolls. Success! Yes. So you'll take half of this. All right. So, one sec. So, for Tannhauser, it's going to be half of this. Let's see if it matters. I will. So you'll take... No, it actually won't, because half then. And then for Veena, this will be straight minus 10. So, 13. 13. Okay. Could be worse. Yep. Okay. Okay. And so, let's see. I struck, tumbled, struck. Struck again. And then I get a free strike now. And then I get a free strike. I might as well make it. Yep. Risk it for the biscuit. It's a map minus 10. Ha! Ha! I whiff. Yeah, sorry. I expected as much. All right. And that'll be my turn. I'll end it with panache, so I take those. Oren, you're up. All right. It's time for my ultimate move. Oh, oh, shit. Roll that recovery. You're actually going to take two points from that, Veena. Oh, baby. Two damage? I fail. Still there. You're still on fire. Cool. Oren's bad. Oren's going away. Over. Over this way. Okay. Give me a four to two. Or give me a reflex aid before you move, though. Because you did still start in his order. Wait, I need to take two damage. So, it's only four now. That is a fail. Would you like to re-roll that with a hero point? Okay. I will roll the John DiMaggio for that. The clowns are hindering him. The clowns. I'll take 21 points. The clowns are grabbing his legs. They're on fire now. Ah! Hello, Oren. We're going to make sure that you burn. No! I want to become a chicken nugget. It's very hot in hell. Won't you come down and join us for a roast? He just freaks out. The celebrity roast of Oren. The bird. Fucking stupid. So, basically, his actions are off-seat. First action is to maintain the summon. Second action, to move. Third action, he's going to command Gorgamonger. Yep. Just so he can get two actions. And Oren has flown up to 15 feet up into the air, wherever he's at. And so now we will resolve Gorgamonger's stuff, which he will target the Simulacrum. In which he will attack twice. One with the jaws. Jaws of death. He gets a crit. That's a vote. And then he will now do damage. I do the wrong damage. Ignore that. That's the wrong one. I'm going to click the crit button. There we go. Hang on. I have to reload the page because the four is jittering against the D20 and my page is locked up. It's dead. Oh, no. Oh, no. I actually have to reload the page. Hang on. That's really funny. The dice broke. That's the one action. I'm going to have Gorgamonger basically position himself. He doesn't want to group up. So he's going to basically stay down here a little bit. Just going to keep this area secure. As for the dragon summon, he is going to... Let's see. Tannhouser, you're going to have to figure life out, I feel, without a flank as I get rid of this thing. That'll be fine. Or instead, I can go help Baldrick. I'm not in any danger at the moment. Yeah, the thing, he'll just teleport to where you are and get away from everybody else. That's fine. Then I can pelt him in the face three times with a nice ball. Yeah, and I'd rather you be safe doing that. So I have two options, which is either go get the one that's near us and he'll react and teleport to you whenever he gets attacked at some point. Or keep where he is, where everyone then suffers with another AoE. So since we already have him where we want him and everyone's doing damage, and I want you to lay damage on him as much as possible and help out with other stuff. I'm going to have the Dargon, who has two actions, which he should be able to do a speed search, which allows him to move up to twice its speed. So he goes whoosh right over. You go twice its speed for one turn, which I'm going to put him here at the edge over who is thing. Is your thing still in the field, or? My what? Oh yeah, his spell's still there. Okay, so he'll come there. He won't get a flanking bonus from this, but the dragon will then land, and he will try to get a little fang attack. Just go meh. He hits for 25 and does 13 points of damage, one of it fire. Kills that simulacrum. Good. And that will be the end of Oren's turn. Okay, Mr. Alert is going to go. Okay. Um, I think. I think, I think, I think. I'm going to five foot step to here. I am going to target Rahua. Oh. And Dania Lort walks, steps back from Tannhauser. Um, looks at you, Rahua, as, as like, the skin continues to slough off his face. The flames intensifying. You can see there's almost like a lamb and fire burning up inside of him. And you, the worst to them all. Why are you even here? And he throws a gout of flame at you, Rahua. Well, oh no. Oh no. That'll be, that'll be a crit. Rahua's dead. Oh no. I, I just, I want to point out, by the way, Alert's hat reminds me a lot of JK from Jamiroquist. I'm imagining these critical hits are him doing that pose from Virtual Insanity, where he's rushing towards Rahua. Um, and then for his next move, so, step, throw fire, and his next move is to create an Ashen Simulacrum directly underneath Auron. There you go. And that will be, uh, Lort's go, as he could, like, just, has this vitriolic anger at Rahua now. Um, and Rahua, you're going to start your turn in this aura, so can you please begin the turn by giving me a reflex save? Oh, not him. Uh, there we go. I put it in chat. Cleric reflex saves, they're fine. Yeah. They're not fine. They're the worst. Would you like to re-roll that? I would love to re-roll that for you. Please, please. Please dodge Mr. Lort's command grab. Wow. Oh, and fails at the 26th. On the second condition, baby, shoulda wrenched twice. Okay. Um, no, Rahua, you can't tech those. It's a command grab. Holy shit. Oh. Holy shit. Okay. That was two off from max fucking damage. Hello? Uh, take 34 points of fire. Um. Here we go, Doc. Wow. Thank you for that. Hold on. I was not budgeting on using all of my actions to not die. Okay. We're always just standing there, smoking. He just opens his mouth, just with a... Pah! Hickory. Wow. That fucking hurts. I think even I don't know why I'm here besides killing you, you fucking idiot. Uh, I'm gonna... You're gonna what? I'm gonna cast heal. Okay. I'm not gonna target a Lort, in fact. I'm gonna heal myself. Oh, good. I'm gonna heal you so you can suffer more! Don't worry. Don't worry. I'm... I'll be okay. It's gonna be alright. Alright. Alright. I don't... Okay. Oh, we're... You're gonna... Gonna heal yourself there? Click that heal? I am. I'm gonna... Okay. He's smoking. Two action, one you want to do. You don't... You shouldn't be doing that. Just, uh... Yeah, it's like two action. There we go. Yeah, you selected the damage version. Well, how? How did I manage this? You probably clicked on accident. Because you are Hulky Crow. 45 points of healing, baby. I got you. Alright. And then I'm gonna do myself a favor. And I'm going to further draw upon the Tides of Entropy. Yeah. With a... Beautiful Scarlet Aura. And touch my chest to activate Vital Beacon for the first time. Sure. I will get... Another 24 points back. Vital Beacon. Vital Beacon. And I'm in the turret. Okay. At the... Click end of... End your turn, Rahula? On five steps. Oh, weird. Weird. There we go. Can you please roll the recovery? Yeah, absolutely. Wow, 18. Well, yeah, because it crit. Are you fucking... Why? Why all these fucking... Flat checks, luckily flat checks don't penalize you. But you will take 18 points of fire damage from the person. Feast or famine. All right, Baldrick, you're up. I have great news for you, Rahula. You are just in range enough for me to actually hit you with something that's useful. I would like to throw a Vindicator's Mist at him. Okay. Well, see, I just thought you were going to throw an Alchemist's Fire at me. No, that'd be silly. You haven't done anything to deserve it yet. Yet. That'll be a critical hit. Yeah, you can't crit on the heal, but you hit him. I narratively declare I can't. That'd be cool if you could. It would be, but no. Thirsten, I narratively declare that I can critically hit. Cool, that'll cost two hero points. Sure, take him. Okay, sure. Critically hit on a natural 21. All right, here we go. Whoa. 46 hit points of healing. Thank you for the juice. You've been juiced. Juice him. You've been squeezed. How do I heal that? It only damages him. Can you heal him? I'll get it. Thank you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I can only hurt him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Because it's a custom item, so it's a bit weird. No, I know. It's magic. Gotcha. And with the next bit of it, I'm going to move... Can I still hit the phone? I'm just going to move to, like, there on the perimeter with one of my moves. And then, with a funny ice ball available to me, I'm going to throw it at that dude. All right. Minus five. Five. Yep. Got to put it away and redraw it there. Yeah. There we go. Go. That'll just... How did that just miss? Yeah, just miss. Fine by me. All right. He will still take the splash. Yes. So roll damage. Just click damage and I'll apply the splash. Die. So that'll be five... Fourteen. Because of his weakness. That's right. Yeah. All right. I think I packed all these delicious sandwiches. Tanhezer, you're up. Okay. So I've been thinking about other things I could do than just shocking grasping him. But I'm imagining that my wand of fireballs is not going to come in very great utility right now. I don't know about that one. Yeah. I don't know about that one. So I think maybe, I don't want to say anything too crazy, but what I'm thinking is, I walk up to him. Yep. Mm-hmm. I target him. Yep. I spell strike a shocking grasp. How do you feel about that, guys? So does your solid move? All right. Well, let's do it. Let's see how it goes for us. I will hit. Nice. Very good. Let's roll some blamage. For ten. And this is just going to be a level one shocking grasp. Oh, five damage, boys. All reliable. Oh, hit him. I'm going to react to that. That's allowed, I suppose. Yeah, I'm just going to drop an action simulacrum right there. Let's see. I'm out of action. You're so chewy. It's all fun and games until all of these are a fireball. I'm just glad to be a service gang. I end the turn. Vina, you're up. Yay! Okay. Oh, sorry. Reflex save from Tanhezer. We'll do Vina at the same time here. Oh, yeah. You guys are too close. Cora? Yep. We're melee fighters. You're too close, Seamus. Oh. Cool. Good. Success. And you'll take half of this. So unless I roll more than a 20, you'll be fine, Tanhezer. I take one. One. There you go. Cool. All right. Vina, you're up. Okay. Um, well, he moved five feet away, and that ruins my whole action economy. Um, so I'm going to... I've already got panache, so I'm going to flank here with my good friend, Tanhezer, for my first action. Second action, I'm going to hit his ass. Okay. Would you like to, uh, would you like to hero point that, my friend? Why not? Sure. Why not? Hey! Hey! Sometimes it works out. I was about to say, there's only really a 5% chance of that being worse. All right. We take those. All right. Okay, okay. 74. 74 points of damage. How much? Vinyalort takes 84 because he is weak to ice. Several things now happen. Oh, boy. Hold on, Thurston. Wait, hold on. Hold on, Thurston. Yep. Let her enjoy it. I just... Oh, wait. Hold on. The skull implies some things. All right. Please continue. How crazy would it be if he just surrendered? Yeah, we should add him to the people's tenement. That's a great idea. I agree. We should. Thank you so much for agreeing, Baldrick. Anthrax! Um, okay. Oh, okay. So, um, a couple things happen. And it's really funny you mentioned the exploding simulacrums. Oh. So, um, because now each one of these simulacrums, um, explodes. Hell yeah. So, that's going to be fun. So, let's do this. Let's do this. Um, ooh. Okay. So, good. Good, good, good, good, good. I think not many of you are going to be in multiples, which is very good. Uh, in fact, uh, I think the only one of you that's in a multiple is Tannhauser. So, that's, that's really good, in fact. Um, you should have a reflex save. I'd like you to click on those, please. Um, everyone do one of them. I do not see theirs. Should be in that. I found it. Okay. We're good. We're good. Oh. Oren's going to hero point his, because he rolled a 20. Are you going to hero point that one? Critical failure because of Sickened? Did you roll a nat one, Oren? Or? No, I didn't. No, you rolled a four. Okay. I did. Oh. Am I? Okay. And I'm not allowed to re-roll that, am I? No, you're not. You get. And you have to give me a second one. Oh, wait. Uh, actually, no. You might be. I didn't really help me. No, you are. Roll 23. Yeah, yeah. It's only the one. It's only the one you had to do Tannhauser. Okay, Rahua is, now you just fail by one. I hate Sickened. Ooh. I fucking hate that. I hate that condition. I mean, better than a crit fail. Better than a crit fail. That's true. So, uh, let me roll some damage here. Oh, yeah. So, I'm just going to roll it once for everybody. Um, this will be doubled to Tannhauser. Vina will take none. Baldrick will take half. And the rest of you will take full for this. I can cover, guys. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. That's not too bad. Okay. Nope. Okay. So, you will take double this. Tannhauser. But, minus 10. A modest 56. Modest 56. A modest half your health. Vina, you will take none. Uh, you will take full damage. Orin will take full damage. And Baldrick takes half damage. Hell yeah. Okay. At this point, all of the action simulacrums are gone. Orin moves aside a little bit so he can be deleted. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and then... The skin completely sloughs off Mr. Lort, as he is replaced by something wholly different. Um, you see that he now is burning from the inside. Um, and looks as though his own body is being, like, completely consumed from within. Um, at this point... Oh, wait. Not that. What? We just... Hold on. That should not be the case. Oh, this is... Uh-oh. It's promising. Uh-oh. Hilfbar. Yeah, let me just change that, though. It's the wrong name. There we go. All right. And, uh... With that, um, as this occurs and the intensity of the flames begins to pile on here, um, I need everyone to give me a perception check. Absolutely. Okay. I'm pretty close to him. Granted, I probably just did get flashbanged. I'm at 21. Yeah, that's a, uh, uh... That's a 25 for me. Oh, I got a 23. 21! That's blackjack. It's loading. I clicked it, but it's... Oh, wait. It's not letting me re-roll my initiative, actually. Yeah, it shouldn't be for initiative. It should just be a raw perception check. Ah, raw perception. Yeah. That's why. I was perplexed there for a second. Nope, you're good. Um, wow. So far, Vina. Okay. Um, Vina, you noticed something. All right, I am very close. You are. The wind has stopped. There is no motion in the air. And a split second later, the ground begins to crack and break and split apart. Leaving rents that form a vast flaming sigil in the ground. Oh. And, uh, how about we take our break here? Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna go get us back. I don't want to suffer, Thurston. I don't know if we have a choice. Who knows? Uh, Vina, click that roll recovery check for me. We're gonna carry on right back to you, Oren. You get to suffer first. No! Success! Very good. Well, since it's my turn, and I no longer have to worry about all the things, because I was sitting here like, why did you have to hit so hard? I was gonna start killing all of them. Why could you have critted later? Sorry. No, you did great. Yeah. So, hmm. Tannhauser needs help. Everybody needs help. Everyone needs a little love in their life. That's true. True. Word. So, the one thing I need to triple check with Healing Servitor is make sure it goes for allies. And it does help to do allies, so I'm not gonna heal him on accident. So. Well, except, when he explodes, it's all willing creatures that get healed this much. Makes an interesting music. So, what Oren will do? He should be in relative range of Tannhauser. He is. He is going to spend one action to basically sustain the Dargon. Because he's being the fire and it works out. And he's gonna spend his two other actions to heal Tannhauser. Okay. He is going to use a fourth rank one. Ooh. Please forgive me. Get all that rolling healing. And Oren heals him for a total of 61. Sorry if the dice got out of the frame. Had to make some adjustments and it didn't go as well. So, sorry if you missed any dice there, fellow viewers. So. I am rejuvenated. He will do that. Goromonger will stay to the side because he knows he's not going to really survive being set aflame constantly by going into melee. But the fire dragons are beyond the flame. And he'll just flap on over. He is going to what is this thing? Speed, actually. If I can find this thing it's 20. Fly is 50. So he can just fly over. So he'll just fly right over him. Get on the other side in case Rahua wants to flank. And so Flamedrake will go over to this side and he will attack with his face. I'll react. Okay. With what? Reactive strike. Okay. Oh. Oh. Arm. You targeted Rahua. Oh, I did. So it's probably way better against this thing. It'll still crit. Just want you to know. It'll crit. It'll crit by by 18 instead of 13. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What is a super crit? Ouch. Ah. Find out how much of this is fire. All of it's fire. Yeah. So he's immune. Yeah. All right, cool. I'm going to hit him. Holy crap. Uncle Blaze is really out here looking at the fire breathing dragon and be like, and to show my true power. I shall burn this fire dragon. Oh. Well, I think that that goes to show some things. However, don't make your attack with your little drake. You should have killed someone. He's going to miss. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, no, no. I was just going to say I think he's about to kill someone. Erndale. I'm fine. Earn kill. I'm fine. Kill. Thurston's going to fucking kill me. Okay. I need all of your power on this one roll. Chad, I need you to type something that you say that you believe in me. This thing's only got a plus 13 to hit. Knowing Thurston, this thing's got 50 AC. I need a natural 20. I need a natural 20. Go ahead. I just need you. Okay. Yeah, I believe in him. I need you on this one. Okay. Okay. Do it up. We're going to roll in five, four, three, two. No. I'm going to hear a point. I'm going to hear a point. I'm going to hear a point. The lucky thing is we know that an eight won't hit. Yep. I got three hero points. Thanks to chat. I got to do it because chat believes in me. I believe. I believe in you. All right. All right. Let's do it. And he re-rolls and he still misses. We also know that a 10 will not hit. So 23 will not hit. Yep. Okay. And Crooked Runner move. That's the end of my turn. The bar is going up. Hmm. All right. Alert goes. Does he have to? Yes. And there's like this burning coming from inside his mouth as flames come out from charred blackened teeth. She protects you. But how long can it last? And she will, or sorry, Denis Allure to the Avatar of Flame will put all of his efforts onto Tanhauser. Oh, I'm so thrilled to hear that. Yeah, he'll start with an attack. It's a seven. That will be a hit. You have your shield, so you could just, you know. No, I don't. I mean, I have my, I have my element shield, so. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Your shield. I'll only take 90 to 38. Okay. Could be worse. Could be worse. It's still good. Fire, or should be. No. And then for the next thing, we'll attack you again with a map. I will miss, because I rolled a two, so I will spend a villain point on that. You did this, chat. We'll hit. Not the best, but it'll do. So, 45, so another 35. And then for his last action, he will do this, an apocalypse flame. He will create a 30-foot burst right there. Why does it have a two-action thing and then a one-action thing? It should have one action. It's a mistake there. Ignore that. Wrong icon. Because this fight is unfair. And I need you all to click on that reflex save. If you are in his aura of intense flame, so basically everyone who's not Baldrick or Auron, you take a minus one circumstance. If you are in there and are also persistently on fire like Rahua, you take a minus two circumstance. Oh, excellent. Yeah. Oh. Got it. So I am rolling, yeah. Oh, so would I have still succeeded on a 29? You would succeed just because it's not the number. Oh, fail. I'll have to take the failure. Um, I will hero point mine. We're only going to 32. Oh, 20. Okay. All I need is added a minus three. Okay. Okay. There we go. There we go. There we go. There's our natural 20 for Veena. There's our 20 quota down. Okay. Did anyone want hero playing on those except Veena? Uh, no. No, okay. Just Veena. Um, all right, so I'm just going to roll this. I will take the hurt. Oh, wow. I rolled shit, but okay. So damage to Baldrick and then I think only Tanhauser is the only other one who will take half of this. Minus 10. Which will also set you on fire. I'm going to do a self-roll for something here. Love it. Torrin also succeeded. Yeah. Uh, did you? Oh, yeah, that's right. You, you did not. Uh, yeah, okay, cool. Already had second Dawn, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you'll just take the half. Cool. All right. And, um, that is it for his go. People are, people are going nuts and about to cause a hype train. We just had a level eight hype train. That's very funny. That's lovely. Thank you. Holy crap. Thank you for your generosity. You're gonna need it. Hello. Oh, boy. Huh. Fun. Okay. We're not down yet, gang. We're not down yet, gang. Uh, quick question. Yeah. Or if you're gonna start your turn in his aura, so you'll have to start with a save on that. Oh, heck. Yeah. I'll put the new save in because it's worse now. Oh, there you go. Waiting to see. It hasn't popped up yet. Oh, sorry. Uh, my bad. There you go. Okay. My famous high reflexes. Yeah. Yippee. It's fine. Yeah. 23. Cool. That's just a regular fail. That's not too bad. Okay. Haha. That's a lot of dice. Oh, okay. 25 more. Okay, okay. All right, now you can go. Hey, Oren, do you think you'll live long enough to heal Townhouser? Hmm. No. No. Yes, because there's nothing the Lord can do until it's my turn. Besides hurt Townhouser with his bullshit aura. So, I'll, as long as Townhouser doesn't critically fail his reflex save. Yeah, even if I do, I'm taking reduced damage, but I, I do, I need serum. Get me serum. Yeah, because I can get you serum. Remember, you all have potions. We do. It's true. It is true. I can get you serum or I can get you, or I can make him sticky. In the metaphorical sense. I need healing. Because I can't. Rinoa? So, you're fucking tackling. So, I have choices just to kind of help your I could either do my summoning friend again, which means I'm going to lose the dragon, which the dragon really hasn't really done much anyway, except just survive and take hits. Or, or basically what I'm planning to do is basically two action heal to an Houser. I get you. That's basically all I can. And then I was going to battlefield medicine myself. I see. I see. I can two action heal. Do you think collectively we would benefit more from the servitor? I don't want a meta game, but it'll do 20 temporary HP and then whatever the hell it heals. Like, it'll be a lot of healing, but it's spread out. So, I get you. So, for you, you already have beacon on yourself, right? I do have vital beacon up. I can interact for that. I have three more. It's a D8 or 48 next. Okay, so, you know, you know, what I'm doing? So, I'm going to leave it up to you at this part because I don't want to play your turn. We've been talking too much already. So, by all means, at this point, you now know what's happening, at least. I've got an idea. I definitely have an idea. I'm going to target Mr. Alert, and I'm going to try this. Please, God. What are you going to do? I'm going to cast slow. Ooh, I like it. Ooh. All right. All right. I will succeed, so I'm slowed one. Slowed one. Yeah, for one round. Yep. For those who don't know what slow does, you have fewer actions. Slowed always includes a value when you gain your actions or just the number of actions gained by your slowed value. Basically, instead of two actions, he has, instead of three actions, he has two. Now, I have a bad, bad piece of news for you. Uh-oh. Uh-huh. And I'm not going to feel guilty about this. Uh-huh. It's going to reactive strike. Am I within range of him? Ten foot reach. His flame extends out. Of course it does. As fire is wont to do, I suppose. Ow! Then you hit Tanhauser again. No, I did. I don't know why, but you know what? Mark me down a villain point. I'm not happy with rolling a two. I want to crit him. Wow! Fuck you, Thurston. That'll crit him. All right. Goodbye. Damn. Damn. Okay. Damn. Okay. Yeah, I'm down. Okay. This will prop one of his other abilities. Uh-huh. It will. anyone who is reduced to zero hit points increases their dying condition by one. You're dying too. Awesome. Troublesome. We need to get him on his feet. You will now go before him in the initiative order. Let's move him under you. Oh, Oh, wait. No, because then you'll take the persistent burning and then you'll be dying three. Yeah, I'm one of us is going to have to spend an action. Boy, do I have some great news for you about having healing capabilities. Correct. And also being next. Dying three in Baldrick. It is sure a good thing that I have 11 of these things picked up. That's good. Nice. Thurston, I'm going to stand my ground like like Tom Petty from you ever heard Tom Petty? He's a great he's a great allegedly. Chad's right. That actually just kills Rahua. My bad. What? Oh, because it was a crit. His ability increases it by one. So, but no, I have a four because I have a trade for that. There you go. All right. You're still in it to win it. You got one left, dog. I don't hear no bell. All right. We're going to wag my finger at chat for almost jamming me. No question. Do you have to do the hero point thing on your turn or whenever? It's technically on your turn, but it. So if all the reaction stuff happened and Rahua went down, Rahua, it would be Rahua's turn. So you could do a hero point to go back, get back to normal. Yeah, I'd have to check the timing on that. But I think I'll check that. He's Baldrick. You're a go. Yeah, may I spend my turn to get him back up on his feet using my powerful healing magics? And by that, I mean throwing a bottle at him repeatedly. Yes, you can throw a bottle at him over his head. I'm going to draw Vindicator's Mist and I'm going to throw this as many times as I can at Rahua. Which is to say three. One. Oh, it's any time your dying condition would increase. So when the persistent damage you could spend your hero point and knock it all down. So give me a moment, please. I'm going to before you go throwing more rules at people on my turn. Well, I'm trying to resolve the hero point. Yeah, fine. I'm going to reroll that using a hero point because it was a three. Not very interesting. Now try it again. Five will hit because thankfully he's off guard and unconscious. so so here's the here's the thing. During your turn, Rahua, you could spend all of your hero points to remove your dying condition entirely and stabilize at zero hit points. I think I'm just going to have to do that. Yep. Smoked instantly. And then you will get you'll be unconscious, but then you will now get smoked by this. You can roll the healing here, Baldrick. About to say, you're making it sound like I shouldn't heal him. No, you should. It's still going to work. Yeah, you want to. No, you're just confusing me. You're confusing me in the midst of my turn. I'm trying to finish up Rahua's turn. That's all. So you can heal. Yeah. Okay, good. I'm going to roll that heal. 24. Sweet. So he'll get 24 back. Okay. Okay, I'm going to do that again. Okay. Minus five on this one. Fuck right off four, but it'll still hit him with the splash. And then because I'm such a nice guy, I'm going to roll it for a third time. Yep. Okay. It does have a splash. Yeah, I got it. It's the same splash. It's four. Yeah. Oh, so close. Just miss. Okay, I got the extra heals in there. Okay, there you go. That's as much as I can do. I'm going to end my turn and recover. All right, Tannhauser, you're up. All right. Oh, yeah, and you'll take that and then we'll recovery and you're still fired and you'll take that. Give me a give me a reflex save, please. I will post it in chat from the aura of fire. Good save from Baldry. Also, yeah, I'm making the reflex save. Yeah, because this is you're still in the aura. You're starting to turn in the aura. Yep. I will reroll that. Okay. With a hero point. Yes, sir. for one lower. Hmm. Okay. There is. Does Vena get the splash heals? She technically does, yeah. She technically would. So she gets eight healing. Yep. Yep. I get it. Every little bit helps. Thanks, yeah. Okay. Bombing. Rules are hard. You take 17 more. Tanny, you're up. All right. So this is disturbing. Yes. Because now that changes things. I now have nine hit points left, which means that, well, if I get the persistence it's still 2d6, right? No, yeah, but it's yeah. So right now it's 2d8. So there's like, okay, so there's no, you can still live. You can still live. Like if I roll max, it's still 16. You'd only take six max. All right. I think right now at the risk of me potentially going down, I'm going to do as much damage as possible. It is still important, I think, to keep me up because I have a big support move I'm going to make next turn. Absolutely. But right now I'm never going to get a better shot at potentially critting since we have him flanked and I still have a true strike up. So I'm going to cast true strike. Okay. I will free action bespell weapon and I am going to hit him with a spell strike with a level five shocking grasp. Oh, okay. Okay. Lord. Father blaze, whatever your name is. I don't care if you're a god or a charlatan. You're in the way of the revolution. And I'm going to swing and I'm going to miss. But fortunately, but Chad has got your back. Well, not just a little worse than before. Chad not only has my back. That's right. Your true strike. Never mind. You don't even need Chad. Never mind. Put that up. There you go. That's a 32. Not quite a crit. Am I allowed to spend a hero point to re-roll my original miss and try to get a crit? No, because it's a fortune effect. Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay. So, let's roll damage. I will get 12 normal damage. Okay. And the rest of this, I'm not rolling d20s. Let's get rid of that. Plus 1d6. And now my shocking grasp will power through. For 38. I mean, still good. Still 50. Pretty total. We take those. That's still a good chunk. All right. Now, if you guys keep me up for next turn, I think I can do something that will really help us out and potentially stop one of us from dying instantly if we get hit by a lord. police heal our bad asses. I will pass turn. Okay. Vina. Oh, yeah. And then you will take no damage. So you're good there. Cool. Just recovery though. Fail. Oh, yeah. Sorry. You succeeded. So you're only taking half of that. And then Vina. Boop. Give me that for the aura. All right. Flames like blasting off the Lord hit your skin. Also, as you begin your round, you feel some existential emptiness hit you as though some fundamental part of your being has been ripped away from you. Oh. Oh, I'm going to hero point that one. Sure. It's worth it because I've got evasion. Oh, that's only one better. Yeah. So not quite what you needed there. So you will take 23 points just from the aura. And since you fail to save, he will use a spawn flame ability and create a little filth fire friend. I have a question. Yes. That's a reaction. He already reacted on Rahua. Read the rule. It says he can take that in addition to his normal reaction. All right. Oh, not the flanks. Okay. All right. Ow. I'm going to, with my panache, I'm going to target him and I am going to just wildly stab for whatever looks the most solid. Do it up. he who can't even reroll that one. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, gosh. Gosh. You know, I'm going to use this one from Cora called flames and terror as whatever has affected you takes hold. You are now just absolutely overcome and frightened as you see the flames growing around you. Your attack misses. Everything is going wrong. Tannhauser looks like he's on his last legs. You feel terrible. Shit. Shit. Shit. Come on. All right. Everybody stay calm. Vina says not staying calm. And I'm going to just grit my teeth and stab him again. Sure. I'm going to hero point it. I might as well. Okay. That hits. That hits. That hits. And just some damage. Matters here. Regular damage. Oh, not great. That's 22. 32 because he's weak to gold. Okay. Okay. Just stabbing forward wildly trying to find just something. That was two actions. Panache down. And then I've got an extra strike from haste. so I'm going to attempt to I don't know if rolling through the guy that's on fire is an excellent idea. I learned my lesson with rolling through spiders. So I am instead going to make as if I'm going to tumble and I am instead going to faint him. Oh, yeah, do it up. 24. He sees right through your faint. All right. He just stares the face now almost entirely sloughed off. It's hard though. There's no there's no skeleton underneath. It looks like there's just more raw fire underneath the flesh that is seeping away as he stares at you and just what is this what you mortals intend. I shall put you on with a second apocalypse. He's going to grit her teeth with a shaky smile and just you wouldn't be the first to try. And I'm going to use my free strike to just hit him with a map minus 10. Sure. And just try it. Nope. Didn't think so. I will call in something else and you could be angry about this but your sympathy is going nowhere. Do you want to hear a point? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No. Okay, cool. He will like as you vainly try to go his flaming hand will slap your sword back, not disarming you. But then he seemingly punches at you. And this doesn't this is an attack that does damage. This is just that complication I held in reserve. Oh, no dispels your resist fire. Oh, oh, I believe that's the end of your go. Maybe. Cool. Orin. All right. Orin's going to go and heal Tanhauser with a two action healer Rudy. Give me a moment. Yeah. It's going to be a fourth rank and go Tanhauser make it worth it. All right. These are rolls 49. That's all over to you. Orin's going to spend his last action and let the dragon dissipate to battlefield medicine thine self. Flying up there trying to heal thine self. Yep. Please forgive me. Just trying to do the whole treat wounds thing. Going to go for expert DC. Put it in a 20 plus 10. So here we go. Yeah, you got this. Got my healer's gloves. Da da da. Clack and clack. Natural 20. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So critical success. You're lathering yourself. You get that ointment on, boy. Yeah, the healing seems wrong, but whatever. He brought the good mud. Yeah, it's 48. Yeah, that's right. Best mud. I'll get that. Okay. Heal for that. Of course, I'm like, godless healing. I also get additional, so that worked out. The dragon looks at you all, does the peace sign and fucking disappears because I did not sustain him. The gorgomonger does a dance because he ain't getting near. Actually, what you can start doing, especially you can go up a little bit. She's going to come up behind there, so Tannehaus will get a flank on that thing if he for some reason needs to. And with that, that's all that Oren can do. Okay, the avatar of flame will go. Oh, got a good recovery. Oh, yeah, you are still on fire. going to take seven. Yep. All right. The avatar of flame goes still staring at you, Veena. All right then. You want my attention, you have it. Why? Why does she set your destiny against me? And he's going to attack you. Well, you don't got to do that, home dog. Oh. Oh, nimble dodge? Nimble dodge? Not good if I'm re-rolling it. Okay. I'd like to imagine Thurston just has a kill player button on his desk that makes the dice run a little bit better. A little bit. A big nimble dodge does nothing here. Get fucked. But it's not a crit. But I'll roll pretty darn good. Ow. Hits you for 39. Now I will hit you again at minus five with my second action. Yeah. Can I go manage so you can riposte? Riposte? Use the nimble dodge. No, I use the nimble dodge. No, I can't. Can't riposte. That was the declare. I'm going to risk it for the biscuit then. No, you're not because he slowed. That's right. I'm not. We are but moral men. We must play by the action economy. We're not a boss monster. It's just normal men. Not yet. Just innocent men. Very true. All right. What do we got here? No, not enough. Well, no, not enough. Okay. All right. That's that. Go. Give me a save, please. Oh, as you are in the aura of intense heat. It's the intensity. No, it's very heat. Oh, thanks. No, thanks. Oh, I live this. He's very warm. The flames wash back off of you. Oh, I don't know. Jamie, you're bankrolling Thurston. I activate the separate Canada from the USA, but no, I have to spend that action on prone. So, yeah, you should probably get away, by the way, is my suggestion. Like, yeah, that is what I intend to do. I'm gonna back the fuck up. Run, boy. I also want to try and take it. So, it will move away. Yeah. Back up. It's very hot. I'm gonna crawl. Gonna crawl. Don't say it like that. I'm gonna sneak up. I don't think I should crawl. I think I'm gonna get a red hot flame up the ass if I do that. I'm spinning an action to get up. Okay. And I walk away. You're walking away? When you walk away? You don't hear me say. Please. Oh, baby. Did Elord already use his reaction? Sure hasn't, because he goes right before you. Of course. By all means, I'm not gonna walk away. Instead, tell you what? I'm gonna juice Vina with some more healing. Does your spell have the manipulate trait? What? You could step. You stood up. You could step. You could five foot step away. You won't be able to do any touch abilities, but you have two actions left. I will. No, one action because he stood up. Oh, yeah. Damn. Action economy works against you boys. Oh, look, with my two actions, I got this turn. I'm gonna step. I'm gonna step. Get to step. I'm gonna battle menace and myself. Cool. Let me fight. My actions. Hold on. Yes, you do this. To keep things going, I will move us to Belgic while you here. Go ahead. Treating wounds. You're up. I'm trying to think, uh, because I can't just, I can't just, what? What? Whoa. What happened? What? I DC'd and I have an autoplay. Stop! Stop! But I hit there. Good. Nice. Neil Breen came in and attacked us. Uh, anyway. The, here's what I'm gonna, here's what I'm gonna do, because I can't just sit here being, like, backup worst healer for the moment. Nope. So Thurston, I'm going to prepare something and I want you to, I want you to, I want you to work with me on this. Interesting. I need to, I need to have him work with me on this. He's the GM. I literally have no choice. Would it be possible, Thurston, for me to make some kind of crafting check very quickly, because I can, I can whip up a coring charge. I could, I absolutely could, but it's, it's fire, so it's not very useful in this present scenario unless I wanted to, like, kill Tannhauser or Veena. Both of which are not a very good idea. Would it be possible for me to roll a crafting check to see if I can alter the element of the coring charge? For a hero point. I'm sure, but two actions to make it. That's fine. What? So, I will spend a hero point and roll a crafting, correct? Yep. Alright. I can be down when I'm at, I'm at, I'm at three. Okay, good. You guys are being generous. High level. It is, I gotta flick this on because I'm not letting that happen. This is the time for this to really, this is the time for this to happen. That's a really bad roll. It's a 26. Will that function, Thurston, or do I need to go again? It's enough to get you something. It won't be great, but it'll, it'll do what you need it to do. Also, mark Baldrick down a hero point. Please do. So, I rolled a six on that. Am I gonna be greedy? No one can tell me if I shouldn't be greedy. I'm gonna re-roll that. Okay. I have no choice. It's the same roll. Don't you hit the points. Oh. I love, I love the dice. They're very funny. All right. Okay, so I'm gonna sacrifice a coring charge that I'm whipping up and a frost vial and I'm going to make a cold coring charge. A freezing charge, if you will. Cool. But I'm not gonna do anything with it. I'm just keeping it to hand. And I'm instead going to throw a Vindicator's mist at Vina. Okay. That's my final action. Yeah. Throw a coring charge at Vina. It misses because I am rolling like crap. Okay, just take the splash heel. I'm not blowing my last one. I'll take the splash heel. Four. Hey, let me out of my room because a little man finds himself in my room. Oh, a little man. And roll the recovery chick bomb. Okay. Yep, hang on, I'm working on it. I had to let a cat out of my room. Anheuser, you're up. Ah, okay. Tenny first. This is a little bit of a Hail Mary. Well, first of all, uh-oh. what funny thing happens to me. Intense eat. Oh, I have to keep making it. Yes, your next turn. Very good. Does this count as radiation? No. Figured I'd ask. That's fire. Yeah. Well, there's a success for you. You're only going to take half damage. Only 20. Only 20? only 20. Wait, 15. No, five. All right. This is a bit of a long shot. I'm going to this this over here, right? If I recall, this is some kind of time diluting effect. What was this? I don't know if that's there because of who it went down. It's oh no, it's still there. It remains at last. It's not the same thing. It's there for another two rounds. Okay. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to dimensional assault and put myself right here. Okay. Inside the temporal anomaly. I'm going to raise my right hand to the sky and I'm going to call out haunt to drown if you indeed sponsor us make your power known make your presence shown reveal thyself through my power and I am going to cast hydraulic push into the sky and I'm going to spend a hero point and hopefully have my evocation of anti-drown in some way give this power that I don't understand. And I would like to cause some sort of heavy rain, hopefully emboldened by this slowed time anomaly to hopefully extinguish the persistent damage, increase or decrease the DC for resisting this constant deluge of flame. I don't know, but I figure that a very strong heavy rain in a fire based encounter has got to be some kind of help. Okay. Give me attack roll. You got it. You hit anti-drown out of the sky and I kill 1d4 anti-drown. I got a 30. Okay. Yeah. Now I hear that's enough for it to come down and take off the persistent fire off everyone. Oh, finally. Sorry. B is in here. B. It's B. All right. That's all I got. As you do that and you channel this energy, you feel like very empowered, but then something kind of strikes you like there's an emptiness forming. Uh-oh. Veena, speaking of empty, you continue to have this strange feeling in yourself, but what are you doing? Interesting. first I'm going to make my save. Yes, I can drop it again. Oh, yes. Thank you. I should just put that on my hot bar at this point. It's on my hot bar now. Oh, nice. There we go. Success. All right. So I'm going to do my best here. I'm going to make another feint toward him. Just fancy feet trying to be deceptive, trying to be quick. do it up. Ah, my no, terrible. One sec. Are you going to reroll that? Um, I don't have three hero points again. Uh, why not? Okay. Give it a shot. That'll, that'll succeed. Okay. Just barely eked it out. You're very lucky that you didn't, didn't keep the original, because a crit fail means you're off guard. Oh, oh, yucky. Okay. Uh, so that will be some panache. I've got that one on my hot bar. And I'm going to just strike at the heart of Uncle Blaze. Yeah. That'll, that'll end. That'll hit. That'll hit. six. Nice. We have a hit. Okay. Finally a hit roll. Damage. Yeah. Ooh, spicy damage. That's not bad. That's not bad. That's all 38. Look at that chunk. Taking him down. Yeah. Okay. All right. Panache down. Okay. So that was action one, action two. Um, action three. I'll try for another feint. Just at this point, fencing with him, dipping and dodging in and out. 26. Not quite enough there. Not quite. Um, so for my final, I'll save it. I'll save it. Okay. Also Mark Vena down one from earlier. Yeah. And then she, she got another one. You got more. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I see this chat. Okay. He, he hasn't used his reaction yet, has he? Sure hasn't. Okay. Well, oh no, my haste gives me a free strike, so I would have to spend my action to step. Uh, and that wouldn't get me out of this heat range, would it? It's 10, so you have to go to, so you can, yeah, I can't quite step out. Um, in that case, we are locked in mortal combat here, um, and I'm just going to go for a normal style hit at minus five. Sure, do it up. Uh, whiffed. That's sad. Sorry. That's fine. That first hit was meaty enough. I mean, I mean, you could re-roll it, you do have three. We're being funded. or I have two. I have two. No, it's three now. They bumped you up. We're being funded. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hello? We're paid a winning this now, apparently. Oh, my God. It's more hands all over again. You're getting it, too. Um, no, I'll save it. I'll save it. Okay. Uh, Oren. It's my turn. Okay, I've been debating on this one. The first thing I will do is I within 30 of Venus, so I will heal you with a two action heal. So here you go, Venus. That's how it sounds. So here you are. Here's a whole bunch of healing. That's going to be a total of 52 to Venus. Okay, okay. Nice, got it. So there you go. And just to kind of keep things interesting at that point, uh, I will also one action heal, but then also do my feet thing of reach. Actually, no, I cannot do that. No, that's two actions. No, that'd be four actions. Can't do that. Uh, so instead, what I will do, which is something special that you might recognize, I will order Gorgermonger to eat that flame. Sure. Uh, so now it's Gorgermonger's turn, and he is going to look at that little flame guy. What does the flame guy say? Wah! Gorgermonger goes and crits him. Oh, that'll be beautiful. Fucking kill! And rolled max damage for total 40 points of damage on the little flame thing. Gorgermonger, kill. Still up. He will strike him once more, and he'll use his talons this time. Wah! And he fucking whipped it. I will spend a hero punch. Oh? I believe in Gorgermonger. Another natural 20! Yay! No! Yeah, that's good. Brawls, it's going to be weaker damage, but it's 28 points of damage. That will kill it. As Gorgermonger consumes the flame. Oh no, he's made of wood! Ah! He parts with the inside. It's just like spicy Cheetos for him. all of a sudden it's the dragonflight expansion. No! All right, that's the end of Orrin's turn. Elden Ring. Elden Ring. Fire giant. Fire giant. This is what you mortals want. Fine, then he will attack you, Veena, with his hand. Oh, why? I have a villain point. I'm going to use it. natural one. No. No. Egads. Egads. That's going to hurt. Oh, that's a spicy meatball. 59 points of damage. Then he will stick. And then because I rolled really well. Wait. Aop. Step. Step. Step. Never mind. He will unleash another blast of fiery energy. That's really big. Yeah, I'm going to get all of you to give me that reflex save in there, please. Oh, shit. Okay, come on, come on. I'm fast. I'm fast. Time for the significant hurt. I'm re-rolling that. Oh. Yeah, I'm going to re-roll Orrin's. Time for damage. Succeed. Mine's not. Wow, it's worse. Rerolling? Reroll. If, this is important for you to note, if Tannhauser hadn't done the rain to get rid of the persistent fire, that would have been a crit fail for you, Orrin. So, Tannhauser's thing mattered. Did my re-roll not go through? Didn't. There you go. Gorgamonger critic. Gorg, he's eaten all the damn 20s. I know, he's eaten all the 20s. Oh. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. So, the penny takes half. Orrin will take full Rahua and will take half. Okay, so, let me roll the damage. Oh, uh, oh. So, I think Orrin. How tall is his burst? Huh? Tall enough. Yeah, how tall is his burst? Um, this is one of those weird things. Yeah. Um, sound like 15 feet in the air. And if it's like a dome or if it's like a cylinder. It's kind of a cylinder in this case. Um, here, I don't know, let me give you a fucking D2. Um, oh, I'll call one. Okay. One, I don't get hit. Cool. Two, you get hit. I get hit. All right. Sweet. All right. Easy. Okay, so you take Dimash. Uh, and then, uh, who critically succeeded? Gorgomonger and Vina. Everyone else just regular succeeded, right? Yep. Oh, yeah. Hot. Hot hurt. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot. I'm gonna do a hidden roll for myself. Really? I said I took 20 damage, but I should've only took in 10. Oh, yeah. Sorry, here, I'll give you that extra 10 back. Thank you. Uh, that, that, that, and that, and that will be his go. Rehua. Rehua. Okie dokie. Okie dokie. Vina. Uh-huh. Finish it. Doing my best. We'll expend another two-action heal to juice Vina once more. as soon as I move my interface out of the way to target Vina instead. Oh! Oh! Hmm. 47 points of healing to Vina. Very nice. I'm juiced. And Rehua is going to use his last action. Oh, I, I need one second. Yeah, stand up. I'll stand up. That, that's it, isn't it? No. No, he's, he's already stood up. Uh, it just was supposed to remove last time. The carp stands up. Rehua will invoke the pendant of the people, channeling the will of Outset's many destitute and those who would inevitably be consumed by this roiling conflagration and let off one possibly futile burst of an archiparage at Elort. Now, the retarded flame. You can do it! Slow him up. No, I saw that's funny. I will re-roll it. Here are cubs. There's the one. I believe. No! That's not the one. Wow! Not the one. Oh, no. All right. Well, fine. Roll that recovery check for me, Doug. Doug? Doug. Hello? I'm Verhua. No. I heal, so you don't have to. All right, Baldrick, yeah. got a question, Thurston. Is Baldrick also feeling that empty, emptying feeling in himself? Nope, just Fina. Okay. Baldrick thinks for a moment, seeing everyone else around him burning, and then seeing Elort, the avatar of flame, happily going about setting everything ablaze, and he's looking at the fun little object in his hands and realizing the distance between him and Elort is far too great for him to place it and move. Thurston, I want to ask you a question. Sure. I have seven frost vials on my person. Mm-hmm. May I spend a hero point to prepare them all to go off at once? Uh, no, no. That, like, I... That's stretching it a little. No, no, no, no, no. Not, not, no. I mean, I'm planning on moving up to him and blowing up. Oh. I want to move next to him and blow up with all the frost that I have. Because I'm going to go down here in a minute. And that's not terribly good. We're all actually pretty bad right now, and if he gets off another big explosion flame, we're not going to make it. If you're able to chug a health potion and keep lobbing frost, he'll ease weak to it. It's going to take me two to get up to him. But if you get up to him, he'll also get you with his aura and kill you. Okay, but I don't have enough actions to do that. I mean, just lobbing frost vials at him is hyper effective. Yeah, because he's weak to it. Because you trigger his weakness every time. Yeah, just your splash. Take it away from me. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. There's resistance to it, so I'm not going to do it. I'll just drink a health potion and do this the normal way. There. Buddy, two. Okay, so you check that, get some health back. Okay, there we go. Usual time. That's one action. What's the next action? Next action is going to just be throwing frost at him. Now, let's see. How far away is he? No, he's still 30. All right, I'm going to throw frost vial. That'll hit. Damage there. Great. Nine plus four plus the weakness. So, 19. Oh, that's a lot. I'll do a map. I'll do a map. That'll miss. Just hit him with a splash. Okay, so just splash, so takes 14 more. And I feel the recovery. You're up. All right, so takes that. All right, Tannheuser, you're up. Okay. man. Anyone else sweating? I'll be sweating. It's also a lot though. All the fire evaporated the liquids inside of me, so I'm burning. There you go. I am a little bit concerned about Oren's long-term turn. Yeah, just give me that save right there. Yeah, I'll fail it, so I'll reroll it. Okay. Oh, that's cool. That's all, dude. That's worse. Oh, no. Oh, God. Double this. Double this, you say. Yeah, because you crit fail. Oh, God. Ouch. I think I'm down. That takes you down. That'll get me. So, because you crit failed, that will bring you to one, two, three. Cool. your initiative then technically goes above him. And this like weirdness, this is going to muck up the initiative order. I'm sorry for this. I will go back to where you were after the fact. Okay, so that just pushes you in that part of the initiative order. Ignore all these. I don't think that, no, no, the damage isn't enough because you're still resistant even when you're unconscious. So, Tanny's down, takes no damage because if he didn't have resistance, that would have killed him. Yeah, Vina, you're out. Okay. All right. My buddy is down. Should I just focus on more DPS? Probably, yeah. You have the fast weapon, so even if you do light damage, you're still doing a lot. Exactly. So, first action, stepping up. Also, give me a save. Intense eat moments. I just have to pass. I just have to pass. No. I don't pass. I'm going to reroll it. Please. Please. Okay. If it was another one, I was just waiting. I was just waiting. We all just burst into flame. All right. All right. So, you glide through. All right. Does Godemonger have reach? I think we did this before. Even though he's technically a large creature because he's a companion, they don't give that to him. So, no. Oh, okay. No flanking. All right. I'm going to attempt to faint. Okay. Ah, it bounced on that 19. I'm so sad. You might want to reroll that. All right. I'll just, I'll just burn through all the, oh. There you go. Oh. Okay. Now I'm off guard against all your attacks this turn. And another 20. Okay. Um, we're going to attack him with my sword. Oh, sorry. No, not another 20. I saw two. Oh. Oh, that's so, oh. It's a natural one for a podcast listeners. Yeah. All that flash. No bang. Two 20s and one. I can't reroll the one. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, what's my complication? Well, I'm first in the flames. Yeah. Patrons, you pay for this. Yeah. You know what? Let's go with Levy a fan here. I like this one. Butterfingers. No. In this epic, great moment, you drop your weapon onto the ground. Yay! It's a classic, but very appropriate. So that, you, you still could pick it up for one action. And then make my free haste action. Yes, but there's a problem. Uh-oh. Picking it up would be something where you're manipulating. What does that mean? It means you attack of opportunity. Yeah. Yes. You know what? Hit me with it, hot boy. All right. I'm going to hit you with it. As the song says, hit me with your best shot. Of course he crit. Of course he does. It's a regular hit because you nimble dodged because we declared that. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's a little bit much. That's still a lot of damage. 47. Oh. You pick up the blade. I hope it's worth it. I'm fast. I'm fast as fuck. Oh, everything's testing. Oh my God. Let this be the final hit. All right. Let's try it. Oh. You hit. It hits. It hits. It hits. It hits. Finish your damage. It hits. Oh, that's not good. 25. Plus the root, plus the weakness. That's a lot of damage. Not quite. Just short. Just short. Oh. All right. Yeah. I think it's your go. I got a lot of debating. Yeah. I mean. So I have these options, right? Yeah. I can just, I can just heal Veena. I don't have anything that's frost, unfortunately. Unless, actually, hold up. Hold on. Well, the problem with frost stuff, the thing that I could do, I could try to summon a dragon that might do frost stuff, but I don't know if I have the ability to do that. Let me see. So the only dragons I got, like, there's like a river drake, but I don't think it doesn't have any frost. How much health does Gorgamunger have? Gorgamunger's pretty healthy right now. You just have him come in and bite him. I mean, he has to hit. That's the problem. We're trying to take a, you know, I was like, he's going to do that anyway. That's pretty quick. And I have to spend an action to tell him to go do that. I have, there's no dragon I can really do that can like do much less because I have another spell slot to summon another dragon, but that's three actions. So it's that. Also, I'm on fire. So if I don't deal with that, I'm going to just fall out of the sky. So I've already Battlefield Madison myself and I can't do it twice. I don't have the free air type stuff for that. So I can either two action to heal Tannhauser, which I'm a bit away. Um, so I could, I could probably just do that. I'm, I'm pretty close to. Well, well, the problem is he's right by him and Tannhauser would die in his turn. Yep. So, well, not necessarily, but the problem you're going to run into is that on this guy's next turn, he's going to start, he's going to start hulking out and he's going to take us out like John Cena on the Nexus. That's a wrestling joke. And that is going to be a problem. However, he's also really low. So I think what would be most helpful now is if you have any kind of mass heal or failing that, any kind of reliable high damage. So the other AOE one is the one I did before and gives everyone temporary HP and then heals people after. It will heal him though, after it. So on our rounds where it dissipates, it ha, you guys have to kill him. So that's the, that's the one thing I can do to try to protect you, you know, try to protect you and everything. That's one thing we can do. So what I can now do, because that's one, that was the other options, like do healing servitoria because I have one more scroll and do that. And hopefully, and it should be able to reach just enough to where I can get mostly everybody, probably except Baldrick. And, and Gorgamonger is not going to be able to attack. He can only just step forward and take damage and that he'll probably get blasted more than likely, or if not, he's still going to take a shit time because he can't really protect himself much because the Gorgamonger die, sad episode, get another song. So, gotta figure that out. Jesus Christ! Your song! I think maybe... Yeah, so, I think the choice I'm going to do, yeah, so... I'll do it in your hands. Yeah, because if I try to do damage, I don't have any heart, literally all my shits heal. So, I'm literally here to support you all, and all the support guys. this is the white mage when the party has wiped. Yeah, and my only direct damage spell is produce flame, so that won't work. I can try to do some attacking. Good. All right, in that case, just do your best. What I'm going to do, I'm going to play the support role, I'm going to do healing servitor. He's going to... pretty much, I'm going to try to get hit to where... I'll try to get the radius here for you. Just put this guy down again. Yeah, so for 20 feet... He's back. But it's 20 foot radius off of him, right? Yes, it radiates off him, so... I trust him or who I'm Balgic to survive. So here, basically, it radiates off of him, so if it's 20 feet off of him, I don't know if it centers in his token or 20 feet off an edge or whatever. One sec. I will just do a funny thing. Yeah, it's like most of... Yeah, it's basically everyone, so yeah. You can get everyone with it. So these are just for allies. I can't delete my radius. I'll put that over there. Yeah, you're good. So, yeah. Okay. So for him, basically, everyone now put the summon healing thing. Everyone gets 20 temporary HP. Not bad. As he summons an int thing to basically just try to protect everybody. So that's 20 temporary HP right now. When he departs, basically, he will do three HP to everybody. Okay. Yeah. Yep, I'll do that. Let me just kind of note this. Sorry, we're doing all this foundry stuff to make sure no one dies. It's fancy. You're summoning literally manifestations of pure positive energy to buff everyone. And gore good vibes. Well, take a step forward and he'll have to make a reflex save. You want to give me your thing? Oh, yeah. Unfortunately, it takes three actions to do the spell. So, Gurgermanger cannot move an attack. Because I have the mature companion thing, that means he can only move. He only has one action. I don't know why that privately rolled. I got it. I got it. Okay, so succeeds, so he'll take half down. Awesome. Yeah, so he'll take 16. Okay. All right. Then we go to Tannhauser's turn. Okay. Oh, and yeah, you take dying the four thing. Yeah, roll recovery, and I fail, and take the four or whatever. Now, Tannhauser, you can spend all of your hero points to remove the dying condition and be unconscious at zero. Otherwise, well, you're going to take damage here is the big thing. So, give me a reflex save. And here, it'll be based off of this guy. Oops, that guy again. So, roll the reflex save. You got it. Even if you're unconscious. That's not good. So, you will fail. I could use a hero point or no? Because that'll leave you with one which you could then spend later on. So, yes. Just don't fail it worse. I don't know if he controls that. Ooh, that's slightly better. All right, so roll damage. Failing upwards. I would need, like, anything above a 10 will take you down another one. Your dying value would go up. You spend all your hero points here. You go to dying zero. Okay. Technically, that would have killed you, but since we're cheating with hero points this session, whatever. All right, so you're unconscious, but you've not received healing, so you are unconscious, but you have no hero points remaining. Makes sense. Okay, but at least he's alive. At least he's alive. He had 20 temporary things. Oh, that is true. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. So, out of N7, then the shield. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, technically, you'd have temporary hit points, but you're unconscious still, because temporary hit points doesn't bring you back to consciousness. Okay. Because they're temporary hit points. But then the important question is, would I still have a single hero point left? Uh, yes, because you wouldn't have taken it. I'll give you back your one. Okay. Kine? Well, all right. Well, Alert's gonna go. He's done with this bullshit now. First action. in a hand just goes to slap you, and just as the tattered remains of his body are sloughing off, he just looks, I'm done with this. I'm done with you, destined mortals. Um, it's you. Ah! Ah! Calm down! That'll drop you. You will be dying too. Bedtime. He will then point to Tannhauser and unleash a goat of flame. Oh! I would like to spend a hero point. Okay. So, if this goes off, I would not be able to spend my hero points and go down to dying whatever Yamutsa funsum, right? Yeah, so at this point you would just hit points, lose all of your hero points. It's not one, it's all of them. Okay, okay. Okay. I happen to have a smokestick grater on my person. Could it be thus that the extreme heat of the situation would have caused that smokestick to burst on my unconscious body? Yeah, absolutely. 100% that will work. Okay. I suppose I'll try that. Cool. Oh. Oh. For podcast listeners, if you want to say it. I guess he has smoke vision, so he farted. It was worth a shot. It was worth a shot. I'm going to attack Vena again with my last attack. Well, hey, no. My last attack, I've got three actions. Would you like to spend your one hero point to stay alive, Vena? Um, you know, sure. I'd love to stay alive. He's not slowed any. He died a couple of times. A good try. All right, since they are effectively immortal until hero points are done, Marua, you're up. Oh, my God. so my options here are to go up and try and hit him, but even that I got two shots max. I can heal either one of them, but they're still unconscious. The time for healing is over. War. That is my advice. I see. I believe in Rahua. Not as much as Baldrick's Frostbonds, but I believe in Rahua. You know? Oh, dear. It's that or a spell. I don't know what it is for. I'm not going to try a will-based spell against him. He's very willful. Ali. Change must come at a cost. It's the most I can do. And attempt to strike him. Okay. First of all, Aura, give me a save. intense heat. I saw that waffle. I'm going to have to reroll that. Yep. Please. Fuck you. Fuck off. Sickened. Sickened is paying off. Oh, man. I'm going to go probably down. Now I'll stay up for just barely. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That was the base roll. Of course. Wait, don't you have a hero point? Can't you reroll that? Cops are here. No, he did. He did. He rerolled it and it was better, but worse by just enough forsaken to make it a crit fail. Yep. Good Lord. Good alert. Apparently. All right. Baldrick. You know the drill. Baldrick's seeing this happen. Frostvile. Yep. Go. Give me a shot. That's a 19 for a hit. Almost a 20. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me damage him. That's shit damage. Seven plus four plus the weakness. Hey, there's still that weakness. Thurston. Yeah! Oh, was that it? All right. So, Thurston, what's the base for you? Um, you guys are good to go for just a wee bit longer, right? Just a wee bit? Yeah. It could be a little bit. Yeah. We, we, can we take a, can we take a quick two-minute bio and then, uh, we'll, uh, we'll see what the ramifications of this is. Oh, boy. Oh, two-minute, quick two-minute. Quick two-minute, quick two-minute. anything to seer. All right, we're back. Okay. Everyone give me a fortitude save. Oh. Got it. Oh. At this point, several things begin to happen all at once. All right, fort, fort, save, go. 25. Someone roll the one. Oh. I'm going to roll the one. Uh, I got a 31. 28. Cool. Everyone fails. You're all not pro. Hold on, hold on, I have an, excuse me. Dan Hauser hasn't rolled. Yeah, please roll. Is this a disease, poison, or radioactive? No, actually, you're unconscious. Never mind. You don't, you're not a real person anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't exist. Okay. All magical effects and conditions are bled off of you that are things like persistent damage or spell effects. Okay. Do I get my healing from my friend? Nope. It blasts away your healing duder. Okay, you're, you both are still unconscious. Persistent damage gone. Vital. Oh yeah, I should roll to remove the persistent damage, shouldn't I? That actually will go away as part of this. Okay. Um, now everyone give me a will save. All right. DC here is 32. Oh, 32. Hey, yeah, so I get this on a 19. Well, he's going to reroll. Oh, okay. Vena gets it. I got it. All the rolling to finish. Baldrick's at a 26. What was the roll for it? 32. Okay. I could succeed. Okay. I'm going to reroll because I don't have very good will. significantly worse. 18. Okay. So it looks like Baldrick will fail critically. Uh, Oren will fail and the rest of you pass. Okay. So, uh, Baldrick, you are doomed one. Oh, oh, uh, this is probably one of the best outlooks you could have had on this. So good job. Um, Oren, you are sorry. Uh, Baldrick, you're doomed two and Ornie are doomed one. Uh, basically the doomed value, um, basically is an, in addition to your dying value. So it's very glad none of the people who had dying previously had it. All right. Each of you, Veena, Rahua, Tannhauser, are brought back with a single hit point. You are still all prone as is everyone else. Um, but you manage to feel a slight bit of energy come back into your, into your aching bones after this. As this happens, you see that the last of the skin has sloughed off of Alort. As he flies back, and at this point, the, um, temporal effect here is also dissipated. He flies back, the skin now sloughing off entirely. Um, instead, there is an effigy of a man. An effigy of a humanoid figure that begins to increase in size until it's three, maybe four times the size of an average man. No longer does it have the figure shape of Dinia Lort. heart, it is instead just a human silhouette, like an ominous flaming wicker man in the sky, arms outstretched, legs outstretched, the, the basalt voice, you hear it, you hear this, this, this almost deific timbre in the backs of your mind. hands, she sponsored you, I sponsor this flesh, and now I take this flesh. At that exact moment, all of you now feel the deepest despair you have ever known. Something else, something unrelated to this has ripped something entirely away from you. All of you feel incredibly naked, especially Baldrick and Orin, who have this wave wash over you. Orin, this causes you to slightly flutter down to the ground, you feel that even your, your maintaining flight is difficult, you are all wheezing, you are all managing to just barely hold on, but something has been struck from you, something has been pulled from you. And you know that what has been taken from you is whatever influence you had since the earliest part of this campaign, whatever was inside that, that, that, that temple you went to early in the campaign, that sponsorship is now gone. Oh. Uh-oh. And as the, the silhouette man figure stares down, it seems to raise a hand, a almost comical globe of fire begins to form it. A, a pinprick thing that is about to shoot out. Everyone give me a perception check. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, I don't see shit. I might see something. Orin rolled a 24, Gorgamonger got a 36. Baldrick, Tannhauser, Gorgamonger, and Orin, as, as you all see this impending doom coming, something else is noticed. something in the chest of this figure. A piercing shaft of white comes through the center of this burning man's chest. It's maybe the size of a railway spike ending in a spiked protrusion. And it comes out the back. And then the ball of flame in the hand of this figure pops, disappearing. And it begins shaking in the air. Just shaking. Not moving from where it is, but shaking like it's vibrating. And then it turns into a giant white tree. The body coming down, splashing into the ground, roots taking form, an immense white tree bursting out from the ground. And it stands there and you see the burn. Well, repeat that again and we see the what? You cut him. And you see the edges of it begin to burn. and stepping out from behind this tree is an entity, a being of conjoined elements. You've seen this thing before. Whoa! I'm excellent. Thank you. Thank you. You need to turn that off. I didn't, I'm sorry. Yeah, I didn't realize. And this figure strides out. you again. Destin, death. The true thing wasn't you, Rua. I wish it was. And for the since you've ever encountered this, this, this entity, it has a voice. Let me drop this down here. And this voice begins to speak out. Oh, it's high time. I give you my thanks. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for drawing Gatherim out. Oh, thanks to you, the last of the old powers are now sealed. Oh, each of their worldly focuses are trapped, trapped in a stasis by the same properties of Outset's pilasters. Oh, finally, we're free from their ridiculous strictures. And each of you recognize this voice. It's a voice that you've heard many times. Many times through the background at Baldrick's house, as emerging from the voice of the amalgamate creature is the voice of Marlene, the humble woman of the Architects Guild. Traitor. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's, it's done. Oh, I did it. Oh, oh, I'm so happy. You know, there were, there were so many times, so many times I thought this whole thing was gonna go wrong. Oh, oh, gosh, you know how hard it was to set you idiots up with a destiny? Oh, gods, it took so much. What did you do? What? I, I, I set you up with a destiny. I needed you to drag out Uncle Blaze because I couldn't find him. The others were easy. But him, he was the hard one. But I knew if there was a destiny, it could snag him in. So then I had to set you all up with a destiny. That took some time. Took a lot of time, actually. I had to send bounty hunters to get that dragon. I had to explode Tanhauser's lab. I had to get your crew to mutiny. I had to work with the Tyrant's Guild. Oh, now, by the way, we're going to get order restored in the city. Oh, so good. And, and we did it together. To what end? well, now they can't do anything, the voice like speaks from within the churning elemental maelstrom. They're all trapped now. I sent people everywhere. You were the ones here. I knew you could weaken him enough, so Rotava here could shove this into his back when he was distracted. then I sent one to the grotto, a friend of yours actually, and then I sent one down into the depths, and I sent one into the clouds, and I staked them. So now, now, now they can't, they can't focus on the world because they're trapped. sure they might be able to grant some spells, that's fine, but now, now their edicts are gone. Now we can finally grow the city, not up, but around. Um, Rahua and Oren, you can give me religion and or nature checks as appropriate. Of course. I will do nature. 21. I will do religion. 16. Um, Oren? Yes? You're, you have enough here to understand that, you know, this is all really, like, weird and above your head, but if the old powers aren't able to do divine manifestations, that seems real bad for something like the rot spreading considering the old powers, including in your home, the Fijal Mountains, the old powers are what's responsible for keeping the rot in check. And for him, he's like, oh no, because all of his people help sailors a whole bunch of stuff and go out there to drown that they're all going to drown. So, Oren's like, oh shit, oh no. Oh, I was really worried. I thought when you went into the swamp that you'd actually listen to my idiot father. Oh, I'm so glad you didn't. He loves to talk about how he fucked an elf. Talks about it for days. or I know she wouldn't have fucked elf to prevent the events that have happened now. Have we missed a side quest? Zorin, think of them. Oh, was this the episode I missed? Yeah. I have no idea what you're talking about. Don't worry about it, Mr. Tannhauser. Or is I kind of patching him up a little bit? Like, just, you don't have to think about them. The milves. Don't look at, don't think of them. What the hell is a milve? Don't worry about it, Mr. Tannhauser. I'll tell you when you're older. He starts petting. Think about it. They can't hurt you if you don't. So what? All of this to expand the city? Yes. I need a future for my family. without Set? You would damn everyone else on the planet? What about my people and Papa Storm? I have a family. I have to look after them. Your family would have been fine. You would trade everything. The wilds, the sanctity of the balance between nature and civilization for a family? A paltry parcel of land for them to live on? That those countless lives already lost in this ongoing struggle against forces far beyond any of our controls or comprehension. You would trade them and scores and scores more for another edifice raised. Oh, I love hearing from you. You weren't even supposed to be here. There was supposed to be some bard, but then you showed up and I thought you'd really mess things up, but you didn't. What? What? back in the arena, I set up the bard, but I guess he died. Do you remember the guy at the very beginning of the episode who's like, and the other collective things of adventures, and then he died? Good all. Yeah, Jemothy was his name. You guys remember better than me. Oh, yes, I remember that. That was very funny. But yes, because to me, my family and my city is all that matters. I was supposed to be a speaker, but no, no. I won't live in the swamps and worship fickle powers like these. No, I'll bend them to my will, and Outset will be the greatest city in the world once again. And it all starts now, and it's all thanks to you and the destiny you followed. Hold a moment. You are about to take a short walk off a high ledge. Why? Because we're coming. You think you're safe now? You think you and your family are safe now? You're not sponsored? And you're the biggest idiots I've ever met. You let me into your house. You let basically anyone into Baldrick's house. You don't ask anyone anything. You just go along a track I laid for you. And besides, look at you. You're not getting out of here. Is there a ceiling to the fire dome? Hmm? Is there a ceiling to the fire dome? Uh, no, no, no, no. The pillar is actually kind of evaporated now. I, um, Coren starts kind of pulling people to Gorgamonger going, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know why you just didn't make another city in the side of the, you know, of all of outside. It actually isn't an expansion because it's probably just made another city. Hey, everyone on the dragon. He cannot support your party. He's just a little guy. He's strong. He's tough. Oh, I, oh, okay. Orange summons dragon. Are you going to start casting a spell? I know what cons you go to. Yeah, I know. I will, um, if I may. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. Uh, extend a single metallic finger towards Marlene. I would be very careful your very next actions, for it is true. We five are a destructive and unpredictable lot, and many times have we faced doom, both certain and otherwise. But you, who would trade the world for a city, and would damn its people, and drown its voice, what family do you hold tides to? Well, no matter what it is, I would make sure that if you plan to kill us all, you do it right and proper. for you won't be the first one to kill me and regret its screaming. It was really nice handling all the paperwork of your revolution for you. I'll give you a head start. Ritava's a bit tired after doing all of that. Given the shape of you and that you're not sponsored anymore, you might want to run. There's no coming back from death now. And the form that is within the amalgamate begins to pull back and dissipate into elemental chunks as the voice of Marlene gives one final. I have a speech to go give. At this point, at this point, the, the, like, the amalgamate kind of pulls back, but you can see it's, it's getting ready to pounce. And I'm going to be very direct here. You are no longer sponsored. So what are you doing? We need to get out. We need to go. Is Marlene still within visible distance? No, she was just a figment from within the amalgamate. She was never here. Go. Even in victory, we are defeated. But this will not last. I'll see you die. screaming! And I am going to begin making my absconce. How will we leave? Well, if you want to see how they leave, you should go back to the beginning of season three, where we played through these events as our non-destined band of chuckle fucks ran through a city ablaze, eventually running afoul of a portcullis, going through and then finally being confronted by a wall of flame that was approaching them. And though we didn't see it in that intro, that episode of the season, episode one of this season, the shadow of the unrestrained amalgamate is there, and as the party is finally close to the exit of the city, all of you still incredibly wounded, all of you still just like, battered and bruised on the verge of death, standing before this flame ready to fight, it's Gorgamonger that steps forward and turns. Gorgamonger, you and your friends must flee now, I will hold the beast back. Gorgamonger, we didn't agree on any of this. No, it is as I said before, my friend, I shall protect you and I shall always be there for you. It has been a pleasure serving with all of you as the dragon nods to each of you. What? What? You seem confused. You could talk this whole time? Yes, of course. What? Having a dragon that could only say where would be stupid. perhaps it would be paddling your minds. Now go. I shall handle this and give you time to escape into the swamps. Hold on, you've already... Worry not, we'll meet again. All right. How would you do that, comrade? We've saved your ass one time. You had better not... You'd better not let it be the last. Now go! As Gargamunger leaps into the flames and our incredibly wounded, battered, and bruised party makes their way out of the city, now fully ablaze, as it seems the focal point of fire on this world is now concentrated in one place. And, uh, that's what we'll call, uh, season three, y'all. I'm sweaty. Good. Holy hell. Do we need a second? So with that, thank you all so very much for watching this episode of Rock Grind.

I can't wait to see where the players go because at this point they get to pick exactly where they go because they don't have a destiny anymore. so they get to figure their shit out now. They're gone. That's all. It's the world of ruin. It is. Yay! That's all. Love you and your faces. And with that, love you all very much, chat. We all have had amazing time as much as we did.
