We've had them as a sponsor now for many months and every time they release a crate, we all kind of clamor around and can't wait to get it. I can't talk about what came out in this month's crate, the Unite Crate, because it's still being shipped to certain people, but there was an awesome t-shirt inside and there was a bunch of really cool stuff. We can't wait to see what's in the June crate, so give them a shot at lootcrate.com/dandr.

Hunter X Hunter is for people who like Pokémon, but you just wanted the trainers to punch each other and stop hiding behind their animals.

Thanks. Let's do that thing where you go around the table. I'm Jason, I'm the Dungeon Master, going around the table starting with La'Ron. Hi, I'm La'Ron and I play Cole Dualfang, a long-toothed shifter druid. And Lisa. Hey, I'm Lisa and I play Elorath Beestinger, the halfling barbarian. And Karen. Hi, I'm Karen. I play Evelyn Haywood, a human ranger. And Sarah Beth. Hey, I'm Sarah Beth and I play Erin Bluecaller, a human bard. And Valerie. Hey, I'm Valerie and I play Sora Greywing, the halfling ranger. And Kira. This is Kira. I play Ingrid Pike, a gnome sorcerer.

Quick recap. Last time on the show you guys did help defend Aubrey and in the aftermath of that, you found a little bit more about Alexandra and the town itself. And you were given your next mission by Bree. You guys are going to be tasked with helping out Lockford at least, giving a situation report to the ravens and letting them know how bad things are. Maybe find out where those missing teams went. I also gave you an option of how you're going to get there. You basically had three ways you could travel. You guys chose the most direct route, which is going to take you straight through the divide, which, danger's sake, is probably the most amount of danger you could possibly be in.

I thought we chose the middle route. That is the middle route. As in like the middle danger route. I mean, in terms of getting there, that's the most direct route. That'll get you there the quickest. Your other options were to head a little further north and that would take you through an orc encampment, which is not really advisable. And the other route took you way south, which would have taken you much, much longer, but would have been a little safer. Okay. So, let's pick up on the road. Is there anything you guys would like to do before we really get into the nitty-gritty?

Because you know I'm going to have you roll a d20 to see how well this is going so far, how much time this is eating up, how much danger we're running into, all that. Let me ask you a couple of key questions just before we get into that, though. What sort of pace would you be keeping, would you say? Is this a brisk walk? Are you running? Like, what would you be doing here? I'm short. I'm not going to be going that fast. Yeah, I feel like a brisk walk. I'm glad you said that so that I didn't come off as a dick. Yeah, we three are running and Cole's just ambling along at a leisurely stroll.

We're all speed walking, doing that fitness walk with the pumping arms. And the butt waddle. And Laurent's just sauntering. Yep. So, let's say you have been on the road now for several hours. And it's going to be dusk soon. This time of year, the days are going to start to get a little shorter and a little shorter because you're heading into fall. And people can actually see that if they go to the website and the calendar is actually up on the website right now. So you can see what month we're in, what day you're in, all that. Now, something to note. You can camp.

The longer you're going to stay on the road, of course, you're going to be more alert. You're going to have a better eye for danger, things like that. But you can only go for so long. You are going to have to sleep eventually. The problem with the Divide is that there really aren't many even logging camps or anything like that. There's no real safe spots in there. You can kind of find a little shaded spot to rest and hopefully not run into any trouble. But it can be a little difficult. So what would you guys like to do here while you're walking? Is there anything you'd like to talk about?

Anything you'd like to discuss? I actually wanted to get Ella Raff's attention. What's up? Are you okay? Well, I almost died because everybody bitched out, but other than that, I guess I'm okay. Okay. That's the part that confuses me. What exactly happened? I looked at you guys and I asked if we were doing this and then nobody said no. So I went in there and then this guy was like, "Bam, I'm going to grab your face." And I was like, "No, I'm going to break your neck." And then that didn't work. And then everybody was just like, "Bye." So Cole's going to recoil his neck a bit while narrowing his eyes and he's going to say, "Define bail." Pretty sure everybody just noped the fuck right out of there, or at least half of you guys did.

And I was like, "I'm going to go in there and try and save people." And then everybody else was like, "Nope, see you, bye." Okay. Well, this was the first time that I heard that you were in trouble when we were dealing with that fucker. I know that we were treated. I saw Aaron leave the cave and I immediately thought that we were all leaving. Yeah, but I was already in his face at that point when you guys just started to leave. Oh, that makes sense now. I didn't know how we were approaching this. So I decided to try and flank. I decided to get the long way around so I could sneak up behind him, cut off my vision from him, and I guess in turn cut off my vision from you.

So I didn't see that you were in trouble. When I saw Aaron leave, I just immediately thought we were all leaving, so I assumed you were behind me. So I was a bit confused when I saw you leave the cave with Alexandra. So I was like, "Wasn't she out before?" And I just assumed that you wussed out. So I guess my bad on that part. Wussed out? LRF, we've been in like three fights together. You know that I always try and flank. I know, that's why I got all butthurt. I mean, I almost died, but whatever. No big deal. Well... I'm glad that you didn't. Let's not do that again.

Oh, yeah, definitely. She's really embarrassed because she hates that she had that moment of weakness, by the way. So she's just staring at her weapon, probably, and fiddling with it. And it's just, "K." Would I need to roll an insight to gather, to get that impression, or what? Is it more a look on LRF's face, or is it just the way she's sort of carrying herself? I think it's sort of the way that she's carrying herself right now, because now that it's out in the open, she's remembering it and fresh shame is crossing her face, because she just wants so bad to be strong.

So she's just not making eye contact right now. Right. Roll a perception check. Okay. I'm good at those sometimes. Not today! Yeah. So Cole's not going to pick up on it. Okay. I just seem weirdly into my flail. It's a cool flail. Cole's going to notice that and be like, "Given the fact you're the only one that can pick up that thing," and I point to the flail, "you shouldn't have any more problems." Well, I hope not. I'm glad that we're doing this, but... Sorry for thinking you bitched out. Okay. It's no problem. Okay. She's going to hold her fist out. Like, she's not a bard, but she's seen other people do it, and she's like, "Yeah, come on.

Come on." Still not looking at him, but just, yep. Cole's going to chuckle, and then he's going to bump his fist as well. Do me a favor. Someone roll a d20 for me. Cricket. Cricket. I can do it! Oh, god damn it. No! This is why we can't have nice things, Sarah Beth. Is this where I could say I was fucking around? Let me get a map ready for you guys. God fucking! Pull again! Wait, she didn't have anything targeted. It doesn't count, right? She had the group targeted. God damn it, apparently. So, our eulogies. Should we write them now, or... Do you think we have time?

Elrath Beastinger. Too tiny to count. No. Oh, yeah, yeah. You rolled the first three, right? Yes. So, yeah, that was fucking dragons. Oh, god. I didn't roll a three, though. Didn't I, like, fail? Crit fail? No, I think it was a- oh, no, I thought it was a three. It was a one or two. I thought it was a three. It wasn't a one. I could have sworn I failed. It was a one. It was a one? It was? I guess somebody else rolled a three. So, yeah. So, yeah. If dragons are a one, then they're small. So, this one- this will only be one dragon instead of two. It'll be one and a half dragons.

Alright, you guys should see a map. What if I don't see a map? Does that mean we can't do anything? No, the fight will just keep going. I see it. I see it, but I choose not to believe it. Okay. Alright, so I am going to- oh, we can't really- Here we go. Looks good. Yeah, Kira's, like, already started to do everything. She's like, "Alright, I'm gonna be over here." I'm going to be in the back. Can we move our characters? Sure. Okay. Jason, now, where are the bad things going to be? Oh, you don't get to know that. Yeah. One of them is going to leap up behind me and just eat me.

Where's everyone? I'm going to make awkward Spider-Man eye contact with Sora over here. I'm right here. Sup, girl? Where are you? I'm gonna go, like, here. I'm like- Valerie's like, "I'm gonna hide behind this logo over here." Yeah. Okay, let's treat it like you guys were actually walking together. This is going to be a straight ambush, I'm going to be honest. That's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't see Evelyn's character and I need to find- Oh, there, that's you. I thought that was all a rat. I like the way you phrased that, Jason. It's just going to be a straight ambush.

Just a legitimate home good ambush. This is- they're going to run your pockets. Like, they are- yeah. This is bad. Joke's on them because we don't have anything. Quick question, though. My new toys, how do they work? They're going to augment your attacks, that's all. Okay. So it's already added with- when I roll, it'll all be counted? Should be, we'll see. So, you guys are going to be walking along the road. And again, it's starting to approach dusk. Barring a really bad spurt of luck. Then, everything should be fine. Unfortunately, that's what you're running into right now.

So, as you're walking, you are going to hear all too late. That you are essentially surrounded. And you're going to hear some very aggressive, aggressive shouting. And that is when you see, on your periphery, orcs. Son of a bitch. And it looks like an orc raiding. An orc raiding party. Everyone do me a favor, roll initiative. Oh. Fuck. Yeah, that's what's going to happen. Ew. That was bad. Ah! Ugh! Mmm! What? Okay. Always the best man, never the groom. Is that a thing? No. Alright. There's so many. Are you guys ready? No. Aye aye, captain! I can't hear you! Aye aye, captain!

I'm not singing the rest. I speak orc. Do you really? Yeah, I do. Hey guys, do we really want to do this? I mean, come on. If we just give them all of our gold. Alright, well I guess we have to wait until it's my turn, right? Or you guys can all try diplomacy checks? I don't know. I don't think we'd know that you speak orc. I could just yell that I speak orc. I speak orc! But yell it in orc. Evelyn, your turn. I'm going to be honest, I have nothing in diplomacy, so that's not happening. Me neither. So, I... You guys want me to start attacking? Oh, never mind. I have a +11 in diplomacy.

Do what you want! But if you attack them, there will be no diplomasizing with them. They are orcs. Diplomacy! Yeah, I know. You just... Do what you want. I mean... I guess I'm just gonna target this orc raider too, and do a ranged basic. That will hit. Sorry. That's alright, at least we can loot the orcs if we kill them. Oh, that's bad. We need money. Yeah. Okay, I'm done. Alright. Okay. So, this orc raider is already in transit, and he is going to... What is your weapon? That'd be an arrow, right? Yes, I'm sorry. I'm muted. That's a ranged, yeah. Yeah, it's my ranged.

So, he's going to take this arrow in the shoulder and continue to charge forward. And the problem is... Eren is in the way. I'm sorry. He's gonna get to Eren first. I could move. It's cool. I'll just move out of the way for a second. Well, let's see here. He might miss. You never know. So, he is going to use his great axe on Eren. That'll miss, actually. 18. That'll totally miss. Elrath, your turn. Alright. Well, I feel like she's just going to, first off, activate her defender aura. Oh, gosh. Okay, and then she's going to move up next to this orc sergeant. Okay. And she's going to try run down.

Okay. Bounded to... nope. Still... That's gonna miss. It still only worked the one time. Alright, that's my turn. Angrid, your turn. Okay, so, Angrid is going to target orc raider number one. And I am going to target with lightning strike. Oh, that'll hit. Then, I need to do damage to his little buddy. And let's target orc raider number three so he can take some damage as well. Okay. So, two damage to orc raider number three. Alright, so, bolt of lightning, blam, gonna hit orc raider. Some of the voltage runoff is gonna hit raider number three. Anything else? And I am going to move back one space.

Okay. So I can hide behind Evelyn. Sora, your turn. Okay, so, first things first, I'm going to move... One, two, three, four, five... Why not? Why not? Okay, so, there's that. Then, I'm going to put hunter's quarry on orc raider one. And I'm also going to attack orc raider one. Using careful attack. Yeah! That'll hit. And so, first up we have damage of careful attack. Okay, that's nine. And then, hunter's quarry. You have bloodied orc raider number one. A... cool. That's it for my turn. Okay. Okay, wow, there's a pack of orcs now. Holy shit. Okay, whew, orc raider number four is going to...

It's gonna move on up here to coal. Yep. And use his greataxe. That'll hit. Of course. Twelve damage. So it's not too bad. It's not great, but it's not too bad. Yeah, yeah. Orc bear warrior is going to... orc bear warrior number one is going to wander on up here to Elorath in order to help protect the sergeant. Boo. And swing his katar. Ow. Twenty-two, that will hit. Ten damage. What's a katar? Oh man, okay. Two, three. Orc raider number three is going to move up to Ingrid, greataxe, crit miss. Probably too short to hit. I'm hiding behind Evelynn's knees and therefore it is impossible to see me.

Alright, orc raider number one is going to move down to here and take a swing at Evelynn. No, you know what? He's gonna pop warrior surge, which allows him to make a melee basic attack and then spend a healing surge. So that will hit and six damage. And he's gonna regain ten hit points. And orc sergeant's turn. He's gonna use his glaive against Elorath. And that'll hit ten damage to Elorath. The fuck? Yeah. This guy's hit. Orc bear warrior number two is going to move down here to Eren. Target uses katar. Twenty-one, that'll hit. Eleven damage to Eren. Cole, your turn.

Okay, Jason. Yeah. Quick refresher as far as burst swerk. Okay, burst and blast. The difference is blasts come out from you in a direction. You kind of pick a direction and think, "Come at me, ah." And the bursts, they go out in every direction. Okay. If I have a burst one within ten squares, how big is the burst? That'll have a central point and then it'll go out in every direction by one. Okay. Yeah. Alright. So, how you looking over there, Elorath? Not quite bloodied yet, but getting there. Okay. How about the rest of you guys? I'm good. Eren? I'm okay for right now.

I've got friends. Ingrid, are you cool? I speak orc. I'm good. He missed and I'm still hiding. Okay. Alright. If that's the case, I'm going to use Call of the Beast and I'm going to target one and orc sergeant and pray to whatever do you think exists that this works. You're going to hit the orc sergeant and miss the bear warrior. Okay. The target can't gain combat advantage until the end of next turn. In addition, on its next turn, target takes psychic damage equal to five plus your wisdom modifier when it makes any attack that doesn't include your ally nearest to it as a target.

Okay. So, you don't do any damage to it right now. So, the way that's going to work is the target can't gain combat advantage until the end of your next turn. So, no matter how much they're flanking, it doesn't matter. In addition, on its next turn, the target takes psychic damage. So, when he gets his next turn, that's when you do damage. Okay. And when it makes any attack that doesn't include your ally nearest to you as a target. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, that's not going to be a problem. Okay. So, yeah. He's going to be attacking Elorath. Okay. So, at will, that means that I could...

Was that my entire attack action at will? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. Then I am going to shift one space and that'll be the end of my turn. Eren, your turn. All right. So, I am hanging out with Evelyn and Ingrid. So, does that give me combat advantage? No. No? No. The way you get combat advantage is if you're surrounding an opponent. Like, if you can draw a straight line through an opponent and have an ally there, that's when you get combat advantage. Okay. I'm surrounded by orcs. Yes. So, I'm going to use Ballad of the Zombie King. And that is a close burst too.

And it just targets each enemy in the burst. So, that will be all four of these, right? The orc raider three, one, two, and orc bear. So... You hit all four of them. Yes! Okay. All right. So, what will happen with that is that they're going to each take one D8 plus my charisma modifier. And that's psychic damage. And they're all going to take a minus two penalty to attack rolls until the end of my next turn. Okay. So, hit that blood drop. Okay. So, they all just took twelve damage. Okay. There you go. Guys, I did a really good thing. You're in a big good. Howdy. I'm so excited.

I did a good thing. Evelyn, your turn. Okay. If I shift to the square right on top of orc raider one, am I going to provoke from orc raider three? Not if you're shifting one square. Okay. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to activate my ranger's agility. And then I'm going to shift here and then here. Is that right? What's ranger's agility? It gives me a plus two to my speed and gives me an extra shifting distance. Okay. Yeah. You're good. Okay. As long as it's a shift, you're fine. Yeah. And then I'm going to- Okay. So, now you have combat advantage. Now I have combat advantage.

I'm going to target orc raider one, combat advantage, and I'm going to do a basic melee. That is going to hit. Oh. And then- Fourteen damage. You have bloodied it. And then dual weapon offhand. That's going to miss. That's not cool. Can I use my heroic effort? Are you saying you're using it? Yes. Then that'll hit. Okay. Okay. Seven damage is nothing to scoff at. That's your offhand attack too. I had plans. Okay. I wanted to kill this one and then I was going to action point. I had plans. I'd like to do virtue of valor for Caren if that's okay. Let me see. Virtue of valor.

What's it do? Once per round when any ally within five squares reduces enemy bloodies, whatever, you can grant temporary hit points to that ally as a free action. How many temporary hit points? One plus my con mod. So I think it's only like two or three. So one plus your con mod. Just making sure that that's what that is. Con is two. So yeah. Three. Three 10 hit points for you. Thank you. You're the best. You're welcome. Anything else, Evelyn? No, that's all I can do right now. Okay. Work radar number two is going to use warrior surge and take a swing at Eren. But he does get a negative two to his attack thanks to battle of the zombie king.

So that's cool. So let's see if this even hits. That will miss. But he still gets to pop a surge. Next up is Elorath. All right. Quick question before I do this. The new armor that I was equipped with, would that count as heavy? I don't think it is. It says it's the same weight as hide. I don't think it's heavy armor because you're a barbarian. Okay. I was just looking at some of my abilities here, so I was like, hmm. Okay. I think the first thing she's going to do is shift one to here next to orc bear warrior number one. Okay. And she's going to target him and then do her new power, Roaring Challenge.

And so the primary attack is going to be against this orc bear warrior number one. Okay. So it would hit that and the sergeant. Yep. Perfect. All right. So sure. First attack is going to be against this warrior number one. Here we go. Oh, motherfucker. Are you serious? God damn. Okay. So you don't get the secondary attack unless you hit. Oh, okay. Damn it. Well, that's a bummer. Shit. I'm going to pop my action point, actually. I want to -- can I only do this? That's an encounter. It's an encounter. So I can only do it once per encounter? Yeah. Boo-his. Now she's going to try Devastating Strike, I believe.

Actually, no. She's going to do Escalating Fight. Ow. That's my thing. Escalating Violence. Escalating Violence. Okay. That'll hit. Hold my dick. Yes. Shit. Very nice. 16 damage. Thank you. And let's see. And it says if I take damage before the start of my next turn, I get a plus two bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls. Nice. Sweet. I believe that is my turn. Okay. Ingrid, your turn. All right. So I am actually going to try Stormy Emotions. Now, that's a close burst two. Let's see. And I would like to target Work Raider three and one. Can I put it in between them? Will that hit both of them?

Hold on a second. It's a close burst two? Uh-huh. So that's every creature in the burst, though. Okay. So you can target everything -- yeah, it's a burst two. So two out from you in every direction. Okay. But that would also hit my allies. Oh, does it? It says every creature. Oh, yeah. That'll target everything. So never mind. We won't do that. I didn't know it didn't discriminate. That's not good. Yeah. Yeah. Let's avoid killing all of my allies here. I instead will just go with Lightning Strike again and hit those two, hopefully, fingers crossed. That's a crit. Yes.

Carrie, you are a goddess. All right. So I will do damage to him. And -- And since it's Lightning Strike, that also does damage to his little buddy here, Work Raider number one. Very nice. All right. Gorgeous. Anything else? I really want to move. That could be difficult. How far can I move? You could shift one. You can run, but they're going to get an opportunity attack. Well, the one will. Okay. I am actually going to run and risk the opportunity attack. Okay. So I'm just going to move back here-ish. Okay. Work Raider number three is going to get an attack against you.

That'll hit. Okay. And then can I use my Fade Away then? That happens if I take damage. Yes. It's an immediate reaction. So I'm invisible until I attack or until the end of my next turn. Okay. Sora, your turn. So I have a question first about a new power of mine, Covering Volley. It's an encounter power. And it says, "Burst one." And it says, "A creature that moves into the area before the start of your next turn takes five damage. A creature can take this damage only once per turn." If I put it on orcs and then their turn starts, will they take the damage?

Because they're not really moving into the area. They're automatically in it. No. No. That has to be something that they move into then. If it specifically says they move into the area, then if it says they start their turn there, that's different. Right. It says, "A creature that moves into the area before the start of your next turn." Yeah. Okay. Cool. So instead, I will use Twin Strike on Orc Raider one and Orc Raider two. My Hunter's Quarry is still on Orc Raider one. So there is that. So let's do it. Aw, hit two. Okay. So I will then do damage for that. Seven damage.

And that will be it for me. Seven damage. That's nothing to scoff at here. Okay. Oh man. Orc Raider number four is going to continue to target Cole. Use his great axe. That's gonna miss. Yeah. Bear Warrior number one is... tired of getting smacked around by Elorath here. Gonna continue to use that Katar. Oh. Nineteen will hit. Man. Ten damage. That will bloody Elorath. Baloney Sandwich. Baloney Sandwich indeed. Wow, gee. Considering Ingrid's invisible, and the only person left is Eren, gonna untarget Ingrid and target Eren. He too is gonna use his Warrior Surge. So...

Great Axe attack. That will miss. Alright. Orc Raider number one is... you know what, since they have Eren surrounded, there's no reason to attack Evelyn this turn. So Eren... that's gonna miss. Orc Sergeant. Boy, Elorath is gonna be a problem. No. No. Am I really? What am I though? Orc Sergeant's going to shift down. Target... target Elorath. Alright, let's go. Let's dodge. This is Glaive. Miss. Yes. Orc Warrior number two is going to target Eren. Use that Katar. That's a crit. Seventeen damage to Eren. That's gonna bloody her. Cole, your turn. Alright. I am going to tech Orc Raider four with a regular Grasping Claws.

That will hit. Awesome. And... damage. Boop. Nine damage. Okay. We are going to untarget him and move one. And that will end my turn. Okay, shifting away. Eren, your turn. Okay. I am going to target Orc Raider number one. I'm going to use Inspiring Refrain. And... yes. That's a hit. Awesome. So I'm gonna do damage on that. Yes. That will kill it. Awesome. Also, Inspiring Refrain grants each ally within five squares of me a plus one power bonus to attack rolls until the end of my next turn. So that is going to be Evelyn, Ingrid, and Cole. Yep. Are all going to hear my Inspiring Refrain, be super inspired, and get some attack bonus.

Appreciated. Yeah. I'm doing so good this time, guys. I'm like so pumped. I'm so inspired right now. You don't even know. Okay. Also, okay. Now that I've done all these awesome things, I'm gonna move. So I'm gonna, let's see here. One, two. Let's do like, rate about her. So that way I can still be useful. Okay, you're gonna take three attacks of opportunity. Oh, shit. No, I don't want to do that. I can just shift one, right? You can shift one, yeah. Shift. Without getting attacked, yeah. Okay. You all done? Uh, yeah. I'm done. Evelyn, your turn. Okay. I'm going, shit, you move so I don't have combat.

I'm gonna move right here. So I'm adjacent to Orgrider 2, and then I'll target him and do basic melee. Oh, shit. Ooh, that's a crit miss. Action point. I'm gonna do it again. That's also gonna miss. Oh my god. Okay, so if I use, oh, that's just a plus. 'Cause my luck blade's just a plus one, right? Yeah, it automatically has the math in it. Oh, okay. Well, that's weird, 'cause it's under my daily powers. Yeah, they, yeah. Okay. I guess... The way the table has it is weird. Um, I guess I'm done then. Orgrider number 2. Why is that not advancing? There we go. Jesus. Oh.

You know what? He's gonna stay right there and take a swing at Evelyn with his greataxe. Uh, Orgrider number 2 swings. That'll be a miss. Yay. Elrath, your turn. Alright. Elrath is going to do, she's going to do Rage Strike's Frenzy. It's a daily. But now she's pissed. So she's gonna target Orkbear Warrior number 1. Please hit. Let's go. Are you kidding me? At least it does half damage. Excuse me. Sorry about that. Okay, so half damage. Ooh, that is nothing to scoff at. That's pretty good. Grumble cakes. That's not bad. And I also enter the Rage of the Rage Drake. So once per round, if I ever hit and reduce an enemy to 0 hit points, I can make a melee basic attack for free.

Word. Okay, anything else? No. Ingrid. Alright, well now that my allies are mostly out of the way, now I really do want to try my encounter power, Stormy Emotions. So, how big of a square is a close burst 3? Or I'm sorry, close burst 2? 2. That's 2 squares out in every direction from you. That'll still hit Cole. Damn it. I'm never going to get to use this. Never. I think it's more for like if enemies try and like hit you when you're in the back. Oh well. That's okay. Instead then, let's go for Whirlwind, since that's an area burst within 10 squares. So, I am actually going to hopefully try and draw my square.

Burst 1, actually, there's no way for me to hit all of those. Darn it. Oh well. Now without hitting Eren too. Yeah. Does it target creatures or enemies? It targets creatures and I can choose not to target a creature in the origin square of the burst, but that doesn't work since she's not in the origin square. And if she was, I wouldn't hit anything. Yeah, I was about to say. So, we'll just go with that. Okay, so. Both of those are going to miss. Okay, well, I do have good timing, which I could use. Trigger, you miss a target with a sorcerer. Attack power, effect, reroll the triggering attack roll.

Wait one sec. Is that one target or for multiple targets? It doesn't say it's a free action and it just says it has to be a sorcerer attack power, so I would assume I could reroll my... So you get to reroll on one of them. Only one? Yeah, you miss a target with a sorcerer's attack power, reroll the triggering attack roll. If you still miss the target even after the roll, you take... Yeah, so it's just for one target, sadly. But still, you get another chance at it. Hmm. Okay. Do you want to try it again or... Sure, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to untarget somebody.

Ew. Okay, so we don't want to target him. Let's target Orc Bear Warrior number two then. Sweet. Hopefully it will work. It is? Oh, Jesus. Damn it! Oh well, now I'm taking some psychic damage. That is unfortunately the downfall. I take psychic damage equal to my charisma modifier and regain the use of this power at the start of my next turn. Well that's good at least, you can give it another shot. Yes, but it still means I have to take damage. Right. I'm trying to find the bright side for you. I appreciate the thought. You did your best. Let out Jason. Alright, so I'm making sure I'm selected, I'll do my psychic damage.

And now that I am damaged, I am done. Alright. And Sora, your turn. Oh, I'm sorry, I had one question. Since I took damage, does that mean I get to be invisible again? No, that's not a power. Never mind. Oh, okay. I was about to say, I couldn't remember if that was an encounter. So I'm going to use Twin Strike on Orc Raider 2 and Orc Raider 3. I'm also putting my Hunter's Quarry on number three. Both of those will hit. Yeah! Okay, damage for both and then Hunter's Quarry on number three. Sweet! That will bloody three. Okay. Are you all done? Yes, that is it. Okay.

Okay. Cole and Elorath are going to be a problem, I think for those two. But the party seems to be over here in the center. So Orc Warrior 4 is going to disengage from Cole here, being as how Cole backed off. Oh, son of a bitch. And join his compatriots. I can't move in any further. Okay, well then I'll have to attack Eren. So, great axe. That'll hit. Oh shit, nine damage to Eren. She is going to fall down. Orc Bear Warrior number one. So something you're going to notice about specifically the orc bears, but all of these orcs look absolutely savage. I don't know if you could have parlayed with them.

You don't really know that. But considering you sort of launched into the attack, they are absolutely relentless and savage. And he's going to continue to swing at Elorath. That is going to miss! Oh, thank god! Oh my. Okay, orc raider number three is going to surround Eren and raise his great axe above his head. And try to bury it into her body to make sure that she is dead. Does a 20 hit your AC because you're down? Yes. Alright, well that's not a crit, so there's still a chance that that's not going to kill Eren. Alright, Eren is not outright dead. Orc sergeant is going to move toward Cole.

Oh wait, don't I get an opportunity? Oh no, he shifted, didn't he? He shifted, yeah. Sorry, nevermind. And uses glaive against Cole. That is going to hit. Nine damage to Cole, that will bloody him. Orc bear warrior number two. One, two, three, four. Okay. And it is going to target Evelynn. Use that katar and that will hit. Some of those 10 hit points absorb that, so that's 14 damage. That will bloody Evelynn. Cole, your turn. Okay. Ah, this sucks. Okay. I'm going to use long tooth shifting on myself, which means I get a +2 end damage and I get regen two. That was a minor action.

Those will both come in handy. Yeah, yeah they will. Fuck. Okay, alright. That put a slight damper on my plans. I can fix this I think. Jason, if you could do me a favor? Sure. Reposition the burst so that it's only targeting orc sergeant and orc barrier warrior number one. Can you move it? No, I cannot. Okay. Well, I don't know why I can't. Oh, no, no, no. I mean, are you allowed to move it as a power? Let's see. For what I'm going to do? No, okay. What was the power called again? Call the beast? No. I was going to use Ironbreaker's claws. Right, but I mean the one that originally put the burst there.

Oh yeah, it was call the beast. Okay, that's actually gone now. Okay. Like it doesn't, you don't have to worry about that. It did what it was going to do. I thought it was like a zone. Okay. Well, the way orc sergeant and barrier one are positioned, I can use this without having it interfere with Elorath. So I'm going to target the two of them and I'm going to attack. Okay, you're going to miss the orc barrier warrior, but you will hit the sergeant. Okay, I will take that. 13 damage. And until the end of my next turn, if he hits and misses me in my beast form, he takes five damage.

So anything else? That'll be it. Okay. Arin, do me a favor, roll a death saving throw, please. Oh, God, that was 20 for just a second. Okay, you have stabilized for now. So unless any more damage is done to you, then you're fine. You're not bleeding out right now. Evelyn. So until Arin's next turn, she's still going to be on the ground, right? Yeah. Okay. Is it possible for me to move into her space? Because if she's on the ground, I want to be standing over her. Sadly, you can't do that. Is that a thing I can do? No? No. It was going to be so cool looking. Okay. I'm going to shift and attack or greater three.

Does that provoke? No, no, no. You shifted. You're good. Okay. Just want to make sure. Okay. He's bloodied. Okay. Basic melee. That'll hit. Thank God. Okay. I saw a nine and I was like, "Is that a little..." Oh, that's like the second one you rolled a night for damage. Eight. Eight damage. Okay. And then offhand? That's going to miss. Can I pretend that I did my power strike before that? Go ahead. I'll let you. Thank you. I'm sorry. That was just another basic melee, right? The power strike. Power strike I believe just adds... It's an extra damage dice. Yeah. So you hit, let's say, with your first attack.

So three. Okay. Well, that'll be enough to kill it. Yes. That's what I wanted to do. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second. Power strike. You hit an enemy. It takes one weapon extra damage. So that's not... Okay. That doesn't include your modifier though. So you just roll a flat D10. Oh. Go back and do me a favor and roll a flat D10 for me. You might still kill it. Oh, you're doing a D8. Okay. Do me a favor and roll a flat D8. Okay. Five damage. Okay. So. Oh, he's going to look really wobbly legged. Oh, shit. Like really wobbly legged.

Hold on a second. I accidentally gave him a bunch of health back. There we go. Now he's going to look really wobbly legged. Anything else? No, that's literally all I can do. Okay. Orc raider number two. He's going to move up and target Evelynn and greataxe. Ooh, that's gonna hit. Twelve damage to Evelynn. I'm still up. Alareth. Yep, still up. Alareth, your turn. All right. She's gonna target orc bear warrior number one and try devastating strike. Mother fucker. What is this? Is there something? Oh, I forgot to click this off. Is there something wrong with me today? Damn it.

That's all I can do. Ingrid, your turn. All right. So. I am actually going to try one of my dailies and go with howling tempest. Now that's an area burst one within ten squares. We're going to aim for there. So that should target orc raider four, orc raider two, and orc bear warrior two. If it hits. Boop boop boop. That will hit orc raider four, bear warrior two, and miss orc raider two. Okay. So that's actually not too bad because this actually will create a zone two of deafening wind that lasts until the end of my next turn. Each creature that starts its turn within the zone takes thunder damage equal to my charisma modifier and as a move action I can also move that zone three squares.

Let's roll some damage. Okay, that will bloody orc raider four. Excellent. And I think that is everything I am going to do right now. All right, Sora, your turn. Okay. Okay. I think I'm going to use a dailie. All right. It is called split the tree. I take two creatures, make two attack rolls, take the high result, and apply it to both targets. So, I'm going to put my hunter's quarry on orc raider three, but I'm going to attack with split the tree. It's going to be, uh, orc bear warrior two and orc raider three. So, I'm going to do the attack, not touching anybody twice.

So, twenty four. Uh, twenty four will hit. Both of them? Yes. Cool. So, hunter's quarry damage, I mean, regular damage. That will kill raider number three. Okay. So, awesome, raider three is dead. Bloodied orc bear warrior number two. Cool. I'm also going to move, I think. Okay. Further away? No. Okay. Here, next to Eren. And that will be my turn. Okay. Let's see here. Uh, orc warrior number four. He's going to take damage for starting in the zone, correct? That would be correct. Okay. How much damage have they taken? Let me take a peek. Thunder damage equal to my charisma modifier.

I want to say that's three? Where is my charisma modifier? I was going to say I have a fairly decent charisma. Sweet. So sweet. Okay. Orc warrior is going to move up and attack Sora. Fifteen will miss. Hey, look at that. Orc bear warrior number one is going to continue to try and hack at Helarath. Second chance. Second chance. Second chance. Okay. I've got to reroll the attack, correct? Yes. And you get a negative five penalty to the second attack. That's going to miss. You were ready for that, weren't you? I was like, I don't want to die today. Okay. Orc sergeant is going to, you know what, another glaive swing.

Ooh, that's going to hit Cole. Cole, do your second chance. It's nice. Do you have a second chance, Cole? I have a second wind. That's not going to be a thing. Holy shit. Seventeen damage. That's going to down Cole. Holy fuck. Well, I'm going question. Yes. Standard actions. That's on your turn. Fuck. Alright. Yeah. Alright. Orc bear warrior number two is going to move up. He's going to decide to walk away. He's going to decide that he's not about this life and he is going to leave. Start a home for orcs who wish to reform. Oh. He's going to use cave bear frenzy. Let's see.

He is going to target. He is just going to make savage swings in every direction and attack every enemy in a burst one around you. So that will be Aaron and Evelyn. Did he take his damage? Ooh, let's do that now. Yeah, definitely bloodied. Definitely hurt. Oh my god. That's going to crit Evelyn and it's going to hit Aaron. Let's roll Aaron's damage first. Oh, I'm down. I have three hit points left, so. That will be enough to kill Aaron outright. No. And... And Evelyn. The fuck? Holy shit. Cole. Do me a favor and roll a death saving throw please. I got an 18. Okay, so you're stabilized.

You're fine. Okay. Unless any more damage is done to you, you're fine. Okay. Oh god. Orc warrior number two is going to step up to Sora and use greataxe and that will miss. Elorath, your turn. She's going to try Devastating Strike I guess against warrior number one. And just hope that it fucking hits. Oh my Christ! What? Running is an option. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. No, she just complained about people bitching out though. Alright, she will shift one. That's all she can do. Ingrid, your turn. Alright, so I am going to sustain the zone. I am actually going to move it since, well, unfortunately Evelyn has died so it's going to go up here.

So all of those guys will be in the burst. Well, those two are there. I am actually going to target orc sergeant with Lightning Strike. Okay. And I crit. Fucking A. So that dude is going to take some damage and because I am just that cool, so is orc barrier, or orc bear warrior number one, if I can say that, he gets to take damage also. Alright, let's see here. Orc barrier warrior number one, yes. Okay. Alright. So, yep, that should be my turn. Soren? Okay, first thing, I am going to shift back one and I am going to use Twin Strike on Orc Raider 2 and 4. My Hunter's Quarry will be on 4.

Alright, that is going to hit both of them. Okay, so damage and then Hunter's Quarry on Orc Raider 4. That will kill Orc Raider 4. I am actually going to fucking Action Point. Okay. I don't know if I should do it on the Raider and the Bear or the Sergeant. What do you guys think? I would almost say Bear Warrior number one because he has taken the least damage, so if you can do something to him, we might still stand a chance. Then the Warrior and Raider are going to come after me if we don't try and kill them. Remember, they both still take 5 points of damage each on their next turn.

Okay, then I am... Now Action Point, that gives you only one standard action. One more standard action. Okay, so it is not like another minor action as well? No. Okay, so I am going to use my Action Point and I am going to target Orc Sergeant and Orc Bear Warrior 1. I am going to do Twin Strike again. Okay, that is going to miss Orc Sergeant, but it will hit Orc Bear Warrior 1. Let's try that again. The Boa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa. Ah, so hit that. Damn. Damn, okay. Two damage to Orc Bear Warrior 1. Anything else? I think that is it. Yeah. Bear Warrior 1's turn. One, two, three, four, five, six.

Try to figure out if that would piss him off enough to come after you. I think it... Alright, he is going to disengage from Elorath and go after Sora. That is going to hit. Oh, I am on mute. Wait. Okay, okay. Second chance. I think that is what it is called, right? Do you have it? Yeah. Halfling. Okay. Oh, halfling. Okay, that is a halfling thing. Let's try it again. Yeah. Damn it. That will also hit. Oh, well it hit with... So 11 damage. Wait, wait. I believe the second chance you get a negative 5 to it. Will 21 still hit you? I mean it doesn't say that on my second chance, but if it is hitting AC...

Oh, I think it is still hit. Yeah, if it is my AC, my AC is 20. Yeah, because it says using your second chance racial power the enemy takes a negative 5 penalty to the second attack roll and cannot scroll a critical hit. I don't know if I have that. That is nimble dot. Yeah, I don't have that. Oh, sorry. You must have gotten that when you leveled up. You might have taken a feat. Oh, my bad. Sorry. Yeah. Okay, Orc Sergeant. Oh, man. He is faced with a couple of options here. The Orc Sergeant is going to turn and look at Elorath. Mm-mm. And then he is going to march back a step.

Okay. Target her and use his glaive. It's gonna hit. Zero. 13 damage to Elorath. She is still standing. How the hell? I don't know. Orc Bear Warrior. Ooh, wait. Okay, that's his recharge thing. That's shit. Hold on a second. He takes 5 damage. He still takes his damage. Then he dies. Boom. Dead. Doesn't matter. Coal. You're stabilized. You're good. Stay the course. So what? I just lay there? You just lay there. You just lay there. But you're not dying, so that's a good thing. Okay, I'll play possum. It's cool. The alternative is not as... Yeah, just... Yeah. Oh, I'm well aware of the alternative, Jason.

Orc Raider 2 is gonna take 5 damage and die. Die what? Oh, shit. Okay. Elorath. Your turn. Oh my god. Jesus. Okay. Oh, I'm gonna die. Oh my god. Jesus. Okay. Fuck it. Melee basic attack. 'Cause nothing else is working. That'll hit. 22 to hit. Elorath is going to swing her flail, collide with his head, and kill him. Oh, thank Christ. And then she's going to... Fucking... Okay. Excuse me. One, two, three, four, five. Here. Alright. She's gonna move up right next to the last remaining orc bear warrior. Please don't do that. Please don't do that. She ain't smart. Ingrid. Your turn.

Was going to move my zone of damage. Well, Sora's still there. Oh, sorry, Sora. Yeah, SORA'S. How rude. 'Cause I could move it before I could, you know, not... Yeah, sorry. I would die. Yeah. Wait, okay, wait, wait. What if you delay until I move out of the way? 'Cause I have to move out of the way to attack him anyway. Is that something I can do? Sorry, pardon my cough. You could, sure. But are you going to be able to move enough for her to be able to get that... No. Yeah, yeah, 'cause you can shift to the other corner. Right. I'm sorry. Okay. So, is that something you want to do?

Yeah, I'll delay my turn until after Sora. Sora, you're just going to have to move up at least a few feet. Yep. I have to do that. Sora, go ahead. So, I am shift over here. And then I'm going to do careful attack on orc bear warrior one. Fuck! Shit. That's a two. Then there's literally nothing I can do. Fuck. I mean, I've done everything, so, yeah. Orc bear warrior number one is going to... I thought I was delaying just until after her... Oh, you're right. Sorry, sorry. Go ahead. All right, so, now I'm going to move my zone. So, orc bear warrior number one is going to be in it.

Nice. And I am going to use Storm Walk. That's a two. Son of a biscuit. And, well, everyone else is doing it, so I'm actually going to action point, and we will try that again. Okay. Hey, that'll hit. All right. So, I need to do something to this dude. Ten damage? Okay. That is surely something. Oh, he's not even bloodied yet, is he? No. Can I still shift? No, because moving my zone is my movement action. All right, well, I guess that is all I can do. Yeah. All right. He is going to take damage. He's going to take five charisma damage. Boom. And then he's going to...

Can't reach Sora, so he's going to swing at Ingrid. Swing his guitar at Ingrid. That's... Oh, that'll hit. Oh, geez, your AC's low. I forgot. Yes, I'm very delicate. Oh, god. Eleven damage. That will bloody... Cole, stay the course. Elrath, your turn. All right. Melee basic attack. Here we go. Oh, god, I didn't target him, but it didn't matter anyway, because I suck. That's an eleven. All these low rolls, this is terrible. Yeah. Okay, my bad. That's it. That's all I can do. Actually, it'd be Sora's turn again, because Ingrid delayed, so Sora. Okay. Gosh. Hunter's Quarry on Arkbearer Warrior 1.

And I'm going to... There we go. Use careful attack again. Okay. That'll hit. Fuck yes. Okay. So, first damage. Ten damage. Then Hunter's Quarry. That will bloody the orc. I'm not gonna move. No, I'll stay there. All right. Ingrid, your turn. All right, so... First, I'm going to shift one. Since I don't need to move my zone. And then I'm going to target Arkbearer Warrior 1. We are going to use Stormwalk again. And I totally missed. Anything else? I've already done my action point. That's it. Arkbearer Warrior 1 is going to look at Ingrid and just let loose this ferocious scream.

He wants to get a hold of her so bad. And then he's gonna side-eye Elorath. And see that she is standing right next to him. And he is going to swing his guitar at her. Yes, please. Damn it. That's going to hit. Yes, nicely. I'm dying. Oh my god, that's max damage. Okay, that is going to drop Elorath. Elorath, do me a favor. Roll a death saving throw, please. Okay, so just a flat d20? Wait. That is... Oh wait, never mind. I was gonna say I have this armor that gives me a +2 power bonus, but that still wouldn't help. That's, yeah, that one's not gonna help that one.

Never mind. So that's one strike. Sora, go right ahead. Okay, I'm going to rinse and repeat. Careful attack on Warrior 1, you still have Hunter's Quarry. That is a crit. Get it! Okay. Oh, okay. Oh, I'm so happy. Okay. Those were sounds. 17 damage. Okay. And Hunter's Quarry damage. That's not a crit as well right now. No, that's just... Okay. ...straight. Three more damage. Okay. Anything else? That will be it. So, did Orkbeir Warrior #1 take his damage from being in my zone? Yes. Okay. And he is quite shaky. Alright, so I'm going to move even further away since he's still in my zone.

So, we're gonna hang out over here. And we are going to do Storm Walk again. That will hit. Heck yes. That will kill the Ork. Son of a bitch. And take you out of combat. Yeah. Screw you, Ork. Somebody put a fucking potion in my mouth. Me too, please. I was gonna say, I don't even know that I have a potion. So, let's do this. Who would like to run a heal check here? Your options are limited. I don't think I... How does that even work? I have a +3. Ingrid's skills here. Heal is a +1. So, here's what we're gonna do. Sora is the most Healy. Okay. Gosh. So, what we're gonna do is, we're going to see if Sora has the expertise enough to, you know, get the party conscious and everything.

If not, you're gonna have to try and drag them to safety. Cool. So, do me a favor, run a heal check. Do I just double click it or do I have to like... Just double click it. Okay. You do not. Oh no. So, they're not gonna die or anything, but they are unconscious. They are gonna... This is a problem. And I've also realized, Sora and I are tiny. We're tiny? We're both tiny. Use Cole's body as a stretcher. Put me on top. And then just wheelbarrow us back. Just use your grab an arm. Here's what we're gonna do. Here's the situation. You are... You are in the middle of nowhere right now.

You are between two towns. You are right now between Aubrey and Durnhollow. It would take a couple of hours walking at a decent pace to get to Durnhollow. The problem is, it looks like you're going to have to drag teammates to get there. That's gonna slow you down. You were just attacked by orcs and you don't know if there are any more waiting in the wings. You just lost two people outright. They are dead. And there is... That's really... We loot the bodies. In case they have potions. You totally could. Oh my god, I thought you were talking about our teammates.

No, no, the orcs. Are you fucking kidding? No, the orcs. I hate to say it, but your teammates might not be a bad thing to you as well. And the teammates. Anyone who has stuff in case there are potions or anything we can use to get our other two conscious. Well, let's see here. Inventory wise. And Ingrid is totally going to be the one who brings that up because she is pragmatic and probably can't drag coal anywhere. Alright, so looting the bodies. You are going to find one lone healing potion. It is worth mentioning. You will find a little chunk of change to some gold.

Total, you're going to find about 40 gold. The bracer that was on Eren's arm might not be a bad thing to take as well. Anything important and valuable we are grabbing and Sora, I would think maybe we could give the potion to Cole since he can help us carry Elorath. But who's going to carry my flail? The only problem with us putting the potion down Cole's throat is that Sora does not like Cole. Yeah, but Ingrid was the one looting the bodies. True, true. So, sorry dude. That is just practical. So, yeah, the potion is going down Cole's throat so he can help carry Elorath.

Alright, well after a couple of seconds, Cole is going to come to here and wake up and that's going to get him functional enough to help out. Instead of picking up, I'm going to use a daily on Elorath. I'm going to use Lesser Restoration again. Oh, okay. What's that do? Same thing you did last time you got fucked up. You make a saving throw and you spend a healing surge. Alright, so that will get Elorath up on her feet too. It is worth noting that the entire party is in pretty rough shape. What would you guys like to do? Can I like spend a healing surge before I do anything?

You guys can take a short rest if you like. Yeah, we're going to have to do that I think. Short rest. Do we search the orcs? Yes. As I search the orcs, I have taken all of their stuff and that is why you are conscious. Okay. Where are Eren and Eveline's bodies? They're within about 15 feet of you. *sigh* I want to go over to Eren and first check that Hunter is okay. And I'm going to give Cole a friendly kick. Dude, you are not supposed to die. You cannot do that. You owe me. I know. There is definitely a visible scowl on his face. And he is going to look at both Ingrid and Elorath.

Are you two okay? As good as I can be. I don't... I am starting to wish that I had never left Aubrey. *sigh* He's going to look over at Sora. How about you? I'm fine physically, if that means anything. And Ingrid is actually just going to go over and just sort of collapse next to the bodies. Just worn and not quite able to do anything now that the adrenaline has worn off and is not sure what to do. We haven't even gotten to our destination and we've already lost a third of our party. *sigh* Oh my god. Are we really even up for this? We have to be. We have to do this now.

We owe it to them. We can't let them die in vain. Yeah. Maybe their death is already in vain. We just got ambushed by orcs. We weren't even doing anything. It didn't have any... It was just an ambush. We were just traveling. We weren't even doing anything important. Well I guess that's orcs for ya. We need to get somewhere safe. I hate to do this. I was actually getting ready to roll a skill check. I was going to roll nature to see if there was any place safe that we could... Right. One second. Alright. Sora said that she was checking to see if Hunter was okay. Yeah.

We're going to have to roll a check to see if Hunter is okay. Oh no! Oh no! What check? I have a high in some things. It's a death saving throw. Oh! So it just looked like a flat d20? Yep. A 10 or higher and Hunter is fine. Oh shit! I'm sorry, Sarah Beth. Hunter was in Eren's... Like, on Eren and she got hit multiple times so there is a chance that... So... Yes! Oh my god, yes! So Hunter is fine. Hunter is going to live. Ingrid is actually going to glare at the rat a little bit. Like, of course the rat would survive. I want to pick Hunter up and kind of cradle him. Hunter is going to look...

In shock but, you know, just appreciative. Like, obviously, you know... Kind of was stoned still there for a bit. Like, not moving at all. That's why you weren't sure if it was alive or not. But, yeah, very much alive. Should we bury them? Not in the middle of the fucking woods. Orcs? We don't even know if that was all there is. What if there are more orcs? What if we get ambushed again? What are we going to do then? Can I roll my nature check now, Jason? Please do. 21, scanning the area. Cole is going to notice all the tracks that were leading into the ambush that you guys walked into.

And it looks like there has been a lot of activity in this area. Specifically orc footprints and he's going to find remnants of weapons, things like that. So it looks like there's been an increase in activity for orc aggression specifically right around this area. He's also going to notice that there is an area where there haven't been footprints leading into. And that would be the south. That's all? That's all I get? That's all you're going to get. Alright. Orcs have been all over this place. The only place I can see that they've been tracking is toward the south.

We head there, regroup, bury the bodies, and we move the fuck on. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. What is around us? Is it just forest? Could we make a stretcher for them? So that we actually have a way of transporting their bodies? Yeah, that wouldn't be that hard. Okay. So yeah, we're going to take their bodies with us, I think. Sora? Yes. Elra? Cole? Yes. Yes. So let's build some stretchers. We'll take them to someplace where we can at least safely bury them like they deserve. Alright. And I think that's probably a good time for us to stop for the night. Oh, I'm going to cry. I'm sorry, Sarah Beth.

I'm really sorry. Oh my God. My tummy hurts. I'm a grown-ass woman. My tummy hurts.
