New episodes Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Only on Peacock. Hey, it's James. I play Dagon in Group 2 on Dungeons and Randomness. Just here to say thank you to all of you for listening to us. And to please go ahead and like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. So again, thank you and enjoy the next episode. Okay, um, how about we do that thing where we go around the table and introduce ourselves.

I'm Jason of the Dungeon Master going around the table starting with Tyson. Hey, I'm Tyson. I play Greta the Gnome Warlock and yeah, cool. Uh, Danielle. Hi, I'm Danielle. I play Trixie the Rogue Drow. And Brian. Hey gang. I'm Brian and I play the Mulrune Priest named Riekus. And James. Hey, it's James. I play Dagon the Eladrin Scion. And Alana. Hey guys, I play an elf named Branath. Okay, quick recap. For those of you at home who may have forgotten what happened in Group 2 in the last episode. They invaded the city of Onakol, filled to the brim with ghouls. And they decided to do so by ice bombing it with their dragon to start things.

And then kind of joining the other two houses at the front gates and charging on in. Now you've pretty much cut a path back to where you were held captive. And you are... the goal is to make your way to the arena and clean out the bulk of what would be remaining there. And kind of lock down the center of the city. And then just kind of back clean up after that. You ended up going into a room that you've never been in, actually. By kind of bashing down the door and killing a few more ghouls in there. And you found another one of those gates. Dagon is the only one who recognized what it would be.

Or what it would be used for. But yeah, that's only the second one to be found in Theria so far. I mean, by any PCs. You are still in that room. So I don't know what you guys would like to do as of now, but I'll leave it to you. So did we discuss kind of searching this room for... wasn't there like a desk with some items? Yeah. There was a desk with a stack of books. You're guessing... I mean, as of now, it's pretty much sitting right next to this gate. So it's probably reference material and findings, notes, things like that. Yeah, I would like to collect as much as we can of that.

Has Dagon revealed to us what this thing is and sort of his take on what we just found? Yeah, I mean, I think I kind of shared it. Well, didn't myself share it with you last time. But Jason went through everything and I was just like, I tell them that. And it's done. What he said. And the gate's powered up and yeah. So do we want to explore this or do we want to go deal with more ghouls and come back to this? I think it would probably be best if we tried to deal with the ghouls right now, just while we have the blood flowing through our veins. Like, it's not safe to let our guard down right now and Valus is hurt.

So we got to make this quick. Yeah, totally forgot to mention that. Valus was bitten. He did take a... he kind of jumped in the way of Baranath and kind of took a zombie bite. So to remind you guys, you have three treatments of this cure and you have no idea how House Hammerhand or Silverclaw are doing. But within your own party, one of you has been bitten. So that's just to let you know. So you are going to kind of put a pin in this and leave the room, go back to the hallway? I want to take any... if there's papers and notebooks or whatever, I want to take all that with me.

I don't want to leave it here. Okay. Okay. Totally cool. So you're just going to take that and put it in your pack? Yeah. Okay. That's a good idea. I just... anything can happen between now and when, you know, we clear out this place, if we ever clear out this place. And if this is what Dagon says it is, then I want to keep this close to our chest and not to say that we're the right hands, but I wouldn't want this falling into the wrong hands. This is really powerful stuff. Okay. Anything else in the room we can take or was that about it? This seems to be pretty much its only function.

This room has basically that and those papers and some statues and stuff, but no other belongings. Okay. So do we want to go back out to the hallway and then we can kind of discuss where we're going to go from here? Is there any chance we can rest in here? Well, you did bash the door down, so there'd be nothing between you and whatever might come through the hallway just to let you know. Yeah, we're not protected here. Okay. And Alana, you might want to get rid of your temp hit points there too. I got it. Why would I want to do that? Done and done. I'm thinking logically for when we go out to the arena.

Do we still have a bomb? Yes. So my idea is two parts. We get Amara, we get back on top of Amara, we fly over the arena, because it doesn't have a roof or anything. I imagine it's open. We can take a look at what sort of a little landscape of what we'll be dealing with down there, but we could also end up utilizing some of her ice breath but also dropping a bomb because it's going to probably be a little bit safer to drop it from above than it would be from us standing. Unless that's a specific like we have to do that in combat and we can't just like freehand it.

Well, okay. How are you proposing to do this? Go into the arena and then call her or go back the way you came? Because if you go back the way you came, you will most likely be fighting zombies again to get back outside so that you can call her. Oh, damn. Okay. Because it's still very much a city infested with ghouls. You're carving a path to where you need to go, but it's not like you've killed everything. We'll have to just call her in then. You know what? I think like we've handled this pretty well so far for the most part. Why don't we head back to the arena and we're going to like fight our weight the best we can just to clear that out.

If we're getting overwhelmed or if we've bitten off more than we can shoot, sorry, pardon the pun. I'll call her. I'll call her back. Hey, I have a question. Yes. So in every arena, they fight down in the arena and then there are seats that everyone sits in far above where they fight. Is there a way for us to get to those seats and call Amara from there? Because from what I remember, you said that they just kind of fell out into the arena from where they were sitting. There might be far less in the seats from what's on the ground and we can call her. She can land on the seats per se, but I mean, it'll be a lot easier to get there than it would to be getting into the arena and then trying to call a dragon amidst all these people that fell into the arena.

Well, from where you are now, either you're going to head into the arena and then climb up into the stands, which you can totally do, or you can leave, go back the way you came and go in the entrance to where like pedestrians would go like spectators. How would we climb? Well, you have rope and you have, you know, I mean, yeah. Can I make a suggestion? I have shade twin, which is a daily where I can assume it's a burst hand and I can adopt a target creature's appearance. And why don't we go to the door that we unlocked to get into the arena, you know, stealth it open, open it slowly.

I can make myself appear like a zombie and just sort of walk a couple of steps into the arena just to see how many of them are in there. And if there's like fucking five thousand, ten thousand of them in there, then Baraneth blows the horn of summoning and, you know, in comes Amara to basically clear a path for us so we can then just take out the stragglers. Yeah, I like that. I like I just I just want to try to cheat a little bit, but just try to get a glimpse of what we're going to be dealing with. So we kind of know instead of us running in with one plan of being like, OK, about face, we're trying something else now.

Well, and also to the the bomb thing is a bit of a risk, like if we had to get on top of Amara, first of all, we still have to call her anyways, you could drop the bomb in a totally wrong place and blow a hole through the arena and let more of them out and like, you know, or you could totally, you know, fuck up your throw and like drop the bomb down down at your feet or, you know, blow off one like blow up Amara or something. So like there would be some type of a role we'd have to do for that, whereas Amara is probably a bit more of a surgical strike. That sounds good.

Yeah. OK, well, I like your I like your shade to an idea. Should we head back in that direction then? Yeah. All right. That's good. That works. Let's do it. I'm going to I'm going to stay next to Alice and help him along. Yeah, Alice is going to advance to stage one. He is going to get a negative to his attack rolls. And yeah, that's that's it. It starts off kind of slow, if you remember, and then ramps up and it won't be too long before he's either completely incapacitated or almost useless in combat. So I'm just I'm I'm going to stop him and I'm going to to just assess his wounds again.

Like doing each roll perception, like where where is he hurt? Well, he's obviously like he was bitten in the arm. So this is yeah, you you you'd heal that before. So it's not it's not bleeding or anything, but it's you can kind of see where there's this kind of black veiny, like like like it's infected already. Like you can kind of see where it's starting to spread where the normal red tint of his arm is kind of like like almost where you could see something coursing through his veins almost. Just in just in that impact crater that right there. You can kind of see where he's starting to be like like a little fevered.

I'm going to put my hand on on his forehead and just kind of kind of look at him and and feel his fever. And I'm very close to him and very quietly I'm going to say I can fix this. I will. I will fix this. I guess we have to go. He's trying to like he's just kind of rushing you along. I'll be fine. Just we need to hurry. I'm going to put on a brave face and follow, but I'm completely terrified. Moving back down the hallway, you move past the little interrogation room where Theramag pulled some of you aside and talked to you, and then you move past your old prisoner's quarter digs.

And I would imagine just going past it like this. This brings back a lot of memories and I'm going to shutter as I walk by. It was not long ago, actually, it was a little over a week ago that you guys were were prisoners here. Yep. I'm feeling a phantom pain in my leg. Oh, that's right. Oh. There's if you remember, there's a little cubbyhole room leading into the arena and to get through it, you need to step over the bodies of Katie, Sil, Thalaman and several zombies. I'm not looking. It's yeah, all of their that they are all smelling quite ripe by now. I wonder how many of the zombies actually fell down the holes in the arena?

I don't know if those got closed up. So I'd be kind of cool if some of them were just wandering and fell down into the pits. I mean, the pits would probably be a horrible door to open right now. Well, the door to the pits were bashed open. Oh, right. Yeah. So don't give the DM any more ideas. Well, I was going to say anyway, if they fell down into the pits, wouldn't the fall damage more than likely just crush them into like little heaps of bones? Yeah, that's a big fall. Yeah, which is why they really there was no resistance there. That wasn't. Yeah. Like you you may hear something, but most of the time it'll be broken legs or something.

Crunch. Yeah, something we incapacitate them enough that they're not really a threat to you. Yeah. So does everyone see the arena? Yes. Yes. Here's how we're going to do this. This is a huge thing. Do you want to go ahead and do your shade twin plan and I'll let you know what's going on. You can roll a little perception. Yeah, sure. Now, why don't I do a stealth check to open the door and then I'm going to have to see the see the target, obviously, to turn into it. So we have to see a zombie. I don't know about looking at the corpses of Katie and still if I can turn into a zombie that way.

I think I've probably got to see an actual enemy, right? Probably. Yes. They were zombies, but we've seen lots of zombies so far. That's true. It's it's really not like your sense. Memory should be able to remember what a fucking zombie looks like. Well, I think it's I'm making a twin of something that's out there. So I'm kind of, you know, basically copying something. So let's just do the stealth check to open the door and I'm going to assume that there's a zombie within 10 squares of me. That's probably a given. 27. OK. Wow. OK. Yeah. Open the door really slowly.

OK. And, you know, just peek so that I can only see one zombie and then I'm going to pop off my shade twin to look exactly like that particular zombie. And then I'm going to moan and slowly shuffle out a couple of feet so I can see the entire arena. OK. And then do a perception check, I guess. Do a perception check, please. OK. And 15. OK. 15 perception. So the stands are still kind of scattered like it. It's very it's very random, very happenstance where you'll you'll look into the stands and like they're just kind of spotted all over. It looks to be that anybody who was in the stands has spread out and kind of funneled everywhere into this arena.

So there are there are a fair amount of zombies on the actual floor of the arena. It looks to be in the hundreds, but this is a huge place and it's spread out quite a bit. So the way we would do this is you guys would come into the arena and we're going to simulate them slowly but surely recognizing that there is someone in the arena that they could eat and then slowly close in on you. So there would be round after round. I would add like a couple here, a couple there. And then if you guys feel like you're becoming overwhelmed, then you can kind of hit the panic button or you can do that right away.

It's up to you. The more noise you make about it, though, like, say, calling in a dragon, we're going to we're going to have some fun with that. There's this. We are. You are. It's a team effort, James. We're all going to have some fun. OK. You said hundreds. I did. But again, this is a massive arena. I want to paint this picture for you. Remember, you guys have faced gelatinous cubes here. And I mean, this is not bring up the gelatinous cubes again. OK, sorry. Like this is a massive arena. So this is the the to make things interesting. The holes are still open so things can fall down that.

And I would even imagine, I mean, zombies are fucking dumb. So if they're on the other side of any one of these holes and they start charging towards you, they're just going to fall into these holes. So that's going to take care of a percentage of your work for you. So, yes. Now, that doesn't mean you're going to have to fight hundreds of zombies. I don't want to paint that because, again, you're going to lose some of the holes. They're going to be some that just can't quite get to you or can't quite work out how to maneuver around the arena to get to you.

That kind of thing. Now, you guys. I think we could probably start taking some of the bouts. And then if it looks like it's too much, call Amara. It's going to be well out of character. It's going to be a huge XP bump. But I think kind of what I like to I think it's one half dozen of another. Like it's either way, it's going to be a lot of work. So we are not getting out of this without a fight. And if you've got areas of effect that slow things or, you know, half their speed or mobilize them, you know, pop that stuff off to me, we can kind of, you know, as they advance towards us, start pinning some of them.

Yeah. Two things. Just just to throw this out there. One, you will not get any XP for anything the dragon kills. Yeah, obviously. OK, just throwing out that should be a given. But yeah, just totally. And two, there are zombified gladiators in this in this arena. So they just made me go from very confident to like, yeah, they're not all they're not all spectators, which means that these particular zombies are wearing full suits of armor. Well, gladiatorial type gear. So their AC is going to be a little tougher. And, you know, they're going to have a few more hit points that, you know, that doesn't mean they're going to be impossible.

Just just just it's for it's for flavor. I hate this flavor. Tastes like shit. So zombie Greta will turn back around and come in through the door slowly again and just say, it looks like we're facing several hundred, but they're quite spread out. And, you know, all across the entire arena, I think we could take out pockets of them before we have to call in Amara. Hey, guys, just keep in mind, I do have that cloud of darkness. It's a minor action close burst one that puts a cloud of darkness around me that no one can see through it but me. So anything in it is I mean, I wouldn't say they're immobilized, but they they're they're blind.

Yeah, they're going to be completely blind inside of it. You guys can't you're you're not going to be able to see to shoot in it. But I can kill things in it without, you know, as much risk as before. Well, we could still shoot into it. And I do. Yeah, we take a negative five. So if we get if we tend to get like if we have a whole lot of coming out coming at us at once, I can, you know, shoot that off and hopefully that'll help deter some of it. I've never had a chance to use it. It could actually be the chance to use it. Also, too, I get a I don't grant blind, blind fighting sentinel plus two to perception checks.

You don't grant combat advantage to invisible enemies. I thought I had some work. It's see through that crap, too. And I don't. OK, shut up. I could have sworn I had some where I don't take like what it is. It's the it's I don't take the negative tend to perception checks when I'm blinded is what it is. So we're going to go in. I think the key thing is to keep moving. If you have the chance, unless you're surrounded, constantly keep moving because they'll just swarm you if you stay in the same place the entire time. Yeah. Nobody go too far from the door here.

OK. All right. Are we going in? Because it's going to grab the lullaby out of the back of this little hatch. Oh, and start smacking the end of it against his hand and just say time to put some ghouls to sleep. I'm going to I'm going to pull my bow off my back and have her at the ready. Everyone, play short characters right here by the by the door. And I'm going to go ahead and place a couple of zombies here for you. Tanks in the front. So this is your time to take a break. Yes. Go make a coffee. Have a peek. It's going to be about 10 minutes. The table just breaks.

Like I said, we'll just keep like I want to simulate them closing in around you. So this will be like just wave after wave after wave. This kind of thing. Instead of putting a thousand on the board and then you have to sit and wait. I think this is just this is just one encounter, by the way. This just keeps going. OK, so we have no and you won't tell us like there's no chance that you're going to tell us you can do a perception check in the middle of it. Totally fine. That would be something worth to note, I guess. We just noted. OK, I guess I can initiative.

We don't want to try diplomacy with the zombies. Yeah, you go ahead. Try diplomacy. I'm going to start hitting stuff. We'll say something they want. Your zombies. We come in peace. We just send Izzy and she can talk to them. We come to break you into pieces. She's not dead quite yet. I'm just telling you, I have like no real blast or burst type of thing that I can use continuously. So I'm going to have to run up to these guys. OK, just don't do anything stupid. I'm trying not to. I can't make any promises, though. OK. Dayon, did you roll initiative? Shit, I did not.

We get three ghouls that go in front of us. Well here we go... A lot of ghouls that go in front of us. Oh wow okay. It's like zombie zombie zombie zombie zombie zombie Party party party party zombie zombie zombie zombie party party zombie zombie It sounds like an Andrew WK song. Sorry I'm stopping. Mind you that would be really good theme music for a fight like this. Yeah I was gonna say you should play that in the background. Reekus is gonna reach into his bag and just pull out his iPod and his eye like stereo thing and just pop it in and pop some AC/DC on so we can have some fight music.

I'm gonna do that all like um... Shit what was her name? That Jessica Biel character in Blade Trilogy. Oh yeah yeah yeah. I got my monster fighting music. I actually like Blade Trinity that was cool. I love that movie. Ryan Reynolds man. He's such a dick in that movie. Ahh love it. Even Triple H. "Hey fuck face you see my dog?" This is a vampire Pomeranian. You cock juggling thunder cunt. Yes! That's my favorite line. Not gonna watch that movie again just for Ryan Reynolds and Triple H of all people. Well yeah. Firstly Snipes not so much. Alright that's a four. Um that'll be a four.

Zombie number ten. Yeah this is okay we're gonna just start funneling these at you. One two three four. Zombie number five. Two three and he is going to try and grab at Valis. Nooo. I thought we told Valis to stay behind. No way. I didn't tell him to stay behind. He wouldn't stay behind anyway. Oh yeah that's true. Not a great listener. One two three four. Zombie number four is going to try and grab. Valis. Ohhh. That will hit. Valis is grabbed. Just conditions and he's grabbed. Shit. Okay zombie number three is going to move forward and try and grab. Ricus and that will hit.

Ricus is grabbed. Oh. This isn't starting out so well. No shit. Whose idea was this? Our lovely DM. That's whose idea. Well we got six zombies before any one of us gets a turn. Greta your turn. Alright. Let me just see what would be best here. Um okay so I'm gonna do a... You know what I might as well pop off. Ah geeze see I want to do Web of Shadows but I'm not sure where the zombies are gonna come from. See if I hit Web of Shadows on Gladiator zombie number four I could also hit seven and nine. However you guys are getting crowded over here but I don't want to immobilize you guys with it.

I'd say try to take out seven four nine if you can or knock them down because with all of us right here we can kinda handle it from one or two directions but three is going to be pushing it. Yeah and they're gonna be coming too. Okay so. I'm gonna go for three six ten with my emote just so you know. Three six ten. Okay. It'll slow them and then it's a burst three on my next turn. So I should be able to hit them still. Okay so I will do my daily Web of Shadows also too we're gonna have to deal with the Rod of Wonder on this one but let's just hope for something good.

Gender change in the middle of this fight. Turning back into a dude yeah. You turn into a giant brain covered in barbecue sauce. Okay so choose targets and then roll each individually so four yeah yeah that is a hit. Shit. That's a big hit. Yep. That is a hit on seven. Nice. Okay. Yeah. That is a hit on nine. Okay and 2d6 plus eight. Oops. I'm doing the damage just down in the regular roller here. 20 damage to all three and creates an AoE as well. That will kill all three. Yes. Okay and that AoE is if anything enters it it's immobilized until the end of its next turn.

Very nice. Now the Rod of Wonder starts shaking again and Greta goes oh no and what happens? So let's roll a d100. Let's roll a d100. Jason's gotta find that list of stuff now. 38. You hear me like shifting around the back of your head. You turn into a giant dildo. You shit your pants and start singing show tunes. About shit. I'm like sifting through tomes like Gandalf. I need to get organized. I'm nothing if not always prepared. Fuck the Rod of Wonder. As it arrives precisely when he means to. Okay. 38. No fucking shit. This is fun. All zombies disappear? No. Three grizzly bears randomly appear and fight alongside the party.

Yes! Holy shit! Okay so does that mean you're controlling them or is Greta controlling them? They are under their own control. They're just allies. For some reason these magic grizzly bears are just up here. Greta now has an army of grizzly bears. I can just imagine him just standing on a pedal with like ropes hanging out from their necks. Hey-achi Mishima. I've got Kuma on my side. Okay give me a second. I'll put in some grizzly bears for you guys. That's motherfucking awesome. Then I roll a 39 and the grizzly bears change gender. Or they side with the zombies.

No no no. If they get bit do they turn into zombie grizzly bears? Anything can be infected. Will they still fight with us if they're zombie grizzly bears? Well you got a while before they change. Now are they here till the end of the encounter? Yes. Hold on a second. This is... Bear. Just bear. It's a bear to find them. I'll just cover my health now. If you can save me the trouble I'd appreciate it. Can you guys see the AOE I made? Yeah. It's very faint but you can. See I told you there's good stuff on that list. That's awesome. Finally. I mean mind you turning into a woman solved all of Galiford's problems and kind of gave him a new lease on life.

And that is it for you? That is it for me. Dagon your turn. I'm going to use the static mote here. So that is... Any creature that starts to turn adjacent to the mote just slowed until the end of its turn. At the start of my next turn the mote disappears and the static mote attack power goes off. So I want to place it right there. Did that work? Yep. By three there? And I guess that's my turn. Uh, what do you think? Like these three right here? There we go. Okay. Chrixie your turn. Alright I'm gonna do a palming strike against number three right here next to me.

Hold on. It's being weird. Okay. It's all good. I missed. Well shit. Anything else you want to do? I want to stand here and just wince a little bit. Rikus your turn. Remember you are grabbed. So I can only really do a melee basic? No no no you can do whatever you just can't move unless you want to shake him or try and shake him off. Um... No I might as well just try and uh take a take a punch at number three who's grabbed me. There we go. That is a hit. And then... You crush the zombie's head in front of you. Awesome. And I'm no longer grabbed. That is correct you are no longer grabbed.

Uh anything else you want to do? Um not right now. Okay. I have a feeling action points are going to be something that I might utilize later on though. Uh zombie gladiator number three is going to maneuver himself into a spot next to Valus. He's slowed by the way. Oh he's slowed. Okay well then he doesn't do that because that would be you'd get about here. There you go. And that would be it so never mind I guess. Uh zombie number 11 gonna move up four spaces and try to grab Trixie. That is a hit. No. It's okay we're about to have teddy bear number two come up.

Uh let's see here yeah grizzly bear number two is going to race up uh and try and swipe at the zombie who uh who grabbed Trixie. So that is a d20 plus 10 17 versus a c that'll miss actually that will miss that's dumb. Jeez that sucks. Uh gladiator number two is going to walk up to Trixie. Uh since she has already grabbed he is going to lean in and try and bite her shoulder. No don't you dare. Oh 22 versus a c that is a miss. Suck it. Berenath. Um okay uh shield of faith everybody plus two uh to ac uh until the end of this encounter. Golly that's beautiful.

Yeah um okay so I'm gonna use sunburst on um damn it zombie number four why can't I click on him? Choose targets I'm trying to choose targets. I'm having a hard time here. I'm sorry. There we go okay there it is okay um so um d20 plus uh 13. No hits. All right so um damage is why am I not getting damage? 12 damage. Dead. Excellent um okay so uh myself and each ally within five squares gained five temp hit points and can make a saving throw so anyone who's grabbed make a saving throw and everyone add five to your hps. Uh okay Valis is no longer grabbed because you killed the zombie that grabbed him.

Yay. Uh he can totally use five additional temp hit points though. Gorgeous love it. Let's do the same um um are you all done? I'm done. Okay Valis's turn. Wait did you say I get to make a saving throw or no? Yes you do actually. Is that a flat d20? Um that is your uh you get a choice one second that is your uh you could use your acrobatics or athletics. Well that that's not really a saving throw is it? No it's just a flat d20 isn't it? Yeah but she's she's she's just grabbed it's not like she's uh stunned or anything like that yeah grabbed is different that's not really a dude use your acrobatics.

Yeah well yeah on your turn you can. Okay yeah I'm just saying that's not really a saving throw thing I got confused for a second. Okay uh Valis's turn um Jesus he's just gonna use his great sword uh against uh zombie number five I guess makes the most sense that well Jesus he rolled it too. Okay that's a miss he's infected he's not feeling well. Uh zombie number eight is going to just strut a little bit forward start close that gap uh zombie number one is going to walk through that uh that area that Galford created so what exactly happens to him? Galford uh immobilized till the uh end of its next turn.

Okay so he is immobilized uh zombie number six is going to move forward and try and bite this grizzly bear. It slowed though it was next to the moat. Oh it is slow damn it is okay you're right never mind it doesn't get quite that far. Uh moat moated. Uh number two on the other hand is going to walk up and try to bite this grizzly bear and crit. God damn it. Uh hmm 2d8 plus that'll that'll kill the grizzly bear. No Caddy no he rips the throat out of this grizzly bear which is surprising uh and the grizzly bear is gonna go down. Oh that's awful. Yeah and then it's gonna come back as a zombie grizzly bear.

It's still an ally it's still an ally. Actually yeah it's still an ally until the end of the encounter that's right. Well when it's dead it's technically not. It's still a grizzly bear it hasn't changed uh like races or classes. Um give it time. Grizzly bear number three uh is going to run up and attack eleven. Uh d20 plus 10. That's a crit. That is a crit that will destroy this zombie just swipe it down to the ground. Uh and bear number one uh well hell he's right next to a zombie he'll 28 that will kill the zombie next to Valis. Theodore and Martin are doing great jobs.

You should probably shift too if you can to the left. Just saying. Um he's not really he he's a bear he doesn't understand you. Uh-huh. Gagon just walks up and puts his hand on top of the bear. I got eye nature can't they entice him with something? I could dominate the bear and then like move him out the way. As hot as that sounds. Yeah. That's just where I'm sitting. Yeah um so that's the end of the round guys let's add some more zombies to the ticker here and uh simulate them starting to close in from the back and the time it took you to kill those zombies a few more gonna trickle in and so on and so forth.

So zombies okay so let's add them to the initiative tracker so I added about six zombies nothing too horrible. At what point could we do a perception check to maybe take a dander at how many more we're gonna be facing? Um you can do that on your turn if you want that'll that's a standard action so that'll be instead of an attacker or you know yeah so well that's dumb yeah no don't uh don't panic about it rikas we fight until we decide we can't fight anymore okay gladiator number one uh gladiator zombie uh is going to shift up to hmm uh he's gonna shift up right in front of alice and try to grab baraneth that is a hit a crit actually I am very grabbed uh because he created on the grab he's going to get a bite for free oh that is a miss uh you are grabbed don't let me take that off but excellent dodge uh number 10 is going to shift forward and attack the grizzly bear how hard with a with a bite oh no that is a hit that's almost a crit damage on the grizzly bear is 16 okay so the grizzly bear has been bitten I don't feel so bad killing him if that happens it's a mercy feeling there's gonna be some like orphan bear cubs out there I know this makes me very sad that's right gladiator number six one two three four uh he is going to try and reach it greta and grab her that is a miss I'm gonna use fade away okay probably smart yep so um I am invisible to my next turn is that what it is let me just double check I'm pretty sure that's what yeah yeah okay uh yep okay and it is your turn now okay um now I can shift one without taking an opportunity attack so let's just move between bear and gladiator um and I'm going to uh pop off unsealy sprites which is a burst two and let's see what happens here oh actually I can just do this right in here oh that's a miss jesus shit that's gonna miss okay okay that's a hit that will hit number two and hit zombie 13 and also I can do number two over here too and gladiator 2 has been and that's a crit oh shit okay that will kill uh gladiator 2 thank you that will kill 13 and two okay so okay you just took out three of them that's pretty damn good cool and I'm still invisible till the end of my next turn I think great yeah uh jaygon your turn okay static mote attack two three yep okay sorry bear the greater good um wow you have a lot of it can't you scoot it up just one square did you want to hit the bear not now no he wasn't there when I started zone damn fault um how do you want me to roll this in the um let's go right then let's start with 12 just gonna use the regular roller here yeah that might be quicker so d20 plus 12 32 that's a crit that'll that'll kill 12 no matter what boom uh 16 19 uh this is what versus ac this is sorry uh reflex reflex uh that'll hit so that will kill wow that'll kill 16 uh gladiator 5 29 that's okay yeah you're gonna have to roll damage on it okay number 8 25 that will kill wow that'll kill him uh gladiator number three 14 that will miss uh zombie 10 19 that will hit and kill him zombie six 32 crit that's a crit definitely kill him and finally grizzly bear number one 16 uh that will miss yeah okay for bear man damage on uh five five yeah i'm gonna roll my damage then on uh go ahead yes please 12 uh 12 damage okay uh zombie 14 good lord uh he will cross the threshold of that area and be immobilized uh tricksy your turn okay um i guess i'm going to move down to right here and i'm going to use disheartening strike on number six okay and i missed that i am just so successful well that was one of the gladiators he's wearing full armor so is there anything else you want to do um no uh rikas your turn i'm gonna rush up to gladiator uh zombie gladiator no number one i'm gonna hit him with uh i'm gonna hit him with we'll just stick with the melee basic attack right now that is a hit and then it's 1d 10 plus wait i ran up i forget what i do with that uh it's a plus one to the attack you you already got that so okay 20 damage will kill him so you just kind of thundercrunk this guy and just just take him down kool-aid man it um anything else uh nope i'm good okay uh let's see here this gladiator is going to move forward and he is uh going to uh he's gonna grab it rikas that is a hit so rikas is grabbed damn uh bear number two is dead berenath okay so we're going to go um with singing strike on zombie i guess this is zombie gladiator this guy um 27 that is a hit all right and 28 plus six nine nine damage nice uh anything else uh uh um no no that's it uh i will no i will not shift okay i'm good i will not shift i'll tell you what i'm not gonna do not i'm not i'm i'm not gonna i'm not gonna leave alice she's giving herself a pep talk leave her alone ah jesus valice is going to use his great sword attack come on valley god damn it that is a miss he's got a negative to his attack rolls he's yeah it's not not not working out to his favor today zombie number one should no longer be immobilized so he's going to shift forward one and try and grab gretta actually no it's save ends on the immobilized it's not i thought you said is to the end of the uh no target is immobilized save ends if you what it is is if you willingly enter the zone uh you're immobilized until the end of your next turn but if you were already in it to begin with then it's oh no he willingly oh no then he is out then because he willingly moved in last okay which one of them was already in there 14 neither one of them did they both move in okay yeah then it would be you killed everyone that was in there okay yeah and being zombies they don't have any fucking battlefield strategy so they're just moving in so he does move up and that grab did hit you then so you are grabbed okay uh zombie one is cramped okay bear number three uh is going to shift up one and try to attack that zombie that's grabbing you and he will miss sadly my ac is 22 a what is your role on the grab jeez uh 27 7 oh yeah it was versus reflex anyway you're very reflex okay oh there it is sorry i couldn't see it there we go that's okay uh zombie 15 uh he is going to shuffle forward slowly open his mouth and moan at rikas as he leans forward and tries to take a chunk out of his shoulder that is uh that's a two jesus oh i hate to do the dx cross chop i hate to be a douche but actually i was invisible to the end of my next turn with my fadeaway remember these things on our turn um all right yeah okay um we don't have merlin to keep keep us uh rolling right i know it just always seems to occur two seconds after um all right then you are not grabbed and all right you're not grabbed um thank you uh bear number one uh i guess he's going to go attack number five uh and that will hit that will be enough to kill gladiator five so he's going yeah good job that brings us to the end of another round and you guys know what that means no more zombie roulette jason says he's gonna put a few more zombies and 25 more show up i added six last year um you guys are making a bit of noise in this arena at this point lots of lots of hammer clashing and and just moans from the opposite end of this arena i remember the large double doors that they would they would kind of funnel uh like let's say gelatinous cubes into the arena and then just a pack full of crazies like now that door is is latched shut that is that's that's barred shut you can hear something strike against it with enough force that you see the doors kind of flex just ever so just ever so suddenly just boom boom um but so far so good it doesn't appear as though that that's whatever it is is breaking out anytime soon and what are we up to now 22 24 oh the regular ones yes oh why did you're doing well so far why did i count okay and let me add these to the initiative tracker there are more gladiator zombies there are oh my hmm you won't let me add that one to the initial track then you can just take it out there's too many in there man at least something's on our side man i think it did i think it finally cut me off it's like all right buddy you've had enough go home you're drunk drunk on power get out of here um so yeah i guess i'll have to these guys have such a high initiative they don't really is the thing they're just getting lucky ass rolls they have like an initiative of like four or five but like they're they're all like plus five i'm plus five oh wow yeah i can't i have physically reached my limit on the initiative ladies and gentlemen that has never happened before give it up come on the two years we've been doing this show i have never reached the limit where the table has physically cut me off and said no stop it's called the uh it's like the asshole dm threshold yeah i don't like you guys tpk bitches and he hits like 25 things it's a goddamn mercy rule um wow okay so that all right fine whatever one two three four zombie that sound like i was gonna get brain sing um gladiator zombie eight uh we'll call him jerry uh he is going to try and grab it valis that is a hit to valis uh so valis is grabbed uh zombie 23 there he is there's a paul's now where i've gotta like hit zombie 23's name is paul yes uh he's gonna shuffle forward and try and take a bite out of this bear actually he's gonna he's gonna try and grab the bear hug him ha he's got him yeah he is hugging the bear oh come on that's just everybody that's can we get artwork of a bear being hugged by zombie um oh geez seven gladiator zombie seven is going to shuffle forward uh moan open his mouth and try and bite valis that is a miss uh zombie number 19 jesus christ his name is anthony anthony anthony's going to shuffle forward quit naming the enemy open his mouth and try and bite rikas no he's not that is a hit that actually that does not hit yeah with the two temp ac points my ac is actually 25 yep one off so almost not i was waiting i was like i'm gonna get bitten i should totally pull up my ac to make sure i actually don't get bitten so love it love it love it love it wait there is a there's a pile up down there three uh zombie number 18 is going to try his hand at biting rikas they are swarming rikas now this is a full-on swarm that is a miss uh gladiator number six where are you he has left the arena i lost him wait oh no he's right down there i got him i got him it's okay guys oh good i know i'm relieved he's gonna try and grab trixie that is a miss thank you stupid zombie greta your turn and now you are not uh invisible now i am correct visible yeah so i'm gonna shift one to there that's cool and um i'm gonna pop off fascinating shadows which is a blast five so one two three four five that's one two three so that would be it right um i can't see one two three four it'll be one more um yeah i'll get seven as well right yeah okay actually so i know it's a blast i'm gonna have to aim this sucker oh yeah hold on so pick a corner yeah just kind of pick a corner and blast in a direction okay so it's going to be one two three four five well essentially it'll get everybody in there wait jesus that's like three four different aoes um okay so it's it's coming out of this corner uh where's my freaking finger pointer finger coming out of this corner and would go out five so hold on let me fix this hey oh you should how do i have like six of these things okay that's what i'm saying i was trying to keep track it's like they keep like stacking on top of each other so you'd be getting 18 15 19 and gladiator three seven 10 20 yeah so right there yeah that look good okay jeez all right was um very deep all right okay so okay go ahead and start rolling you can you can do that okay okay that's a hit on 20 that will kill 20 that's a hit on 10 uh gladiator 10 will be taking damage that's a miss on zombie number 19 or 18 that is a hit on 15 that'll kill him which means rikas is no longer grabbed that is a miss on 19 uh that is a hit on number three okay gladiator three and that is a hit on seven so go ahead and roll damage okay uh one d8 plus eight 15 damage 15 damage you have bloodied all three of the remaining gladiator zombies in that area um that means that i can add more stuff to the initiative tracker now when the time comes wait what made room there's a waiting list they're waiting patiently to be seated um anything else sir um i'd like to action point and do that again but i'll hit 21 and 9 would be the only thing i would hit i guess or actually that's an at will uh it is that will yep um so let's delete that now i can shoot it out it doesn't have to be a corner right can you shoot it out straight like from from this direction or does it have to go out in a cone uh for a blast probably a cone right i think yeah okay and i've already moved so okay well then let's do it there anyways well it'll just hit 21 and 9 okay cool not 14 yeah it's 14 in there uh yeah 14 oh shit 14 would be in there too okay look i'm gonna let this slide yeah but it says target one or two creatures in the blast oh shit okay one or two so you just killed like 10 things but i'm gonna let this slide because i'm gonna make it up on the next round it's just gonna yeah come back and buy this okay so yes so you're targeting 9 and 21 yeah and for some reason i can't delete this i was about to say that's a fucking crazy yeah that's an at will you could just do that every turn yeah starting to get a bit broken over here okay uh miss on 21 and hit on 9 so go ahead and roll damage okay 15 another 15 all right yeah people at home who are jumping up and down listening to their ipods calm down we'll get them on the next round relax uh zombie number 24 lost him hold on bottom right thank you um you're a pal alana one two three four uh valice is grabbed so he 24 is going to try and take a bite out of valice that is a hit shit uh so this thing comes up from behind him and and while valice is trying to like struggle against the first one in front of him this one kind of like grabs his shoulders and just sinks his teeth into the back room so valice kind of lets out a scream and fucking like he's getting swarmed at this point uh dagon your turn wow all right i am going to gonna right here and use oh i had a question first good is the moat and the moat attack is that two attacks or is that one just asking well it counts as two because you're setting it up okay because after three i have to charge so it seems a little chintzy because i didn't really do much on the setup well the the moat itself is its own attack like you're setting that in motion so that doesn't count as one of yours you know i'm saying so he has two more before he has to charge excellent so i'll force punch zombie number 24 okay that is a hit and damage 18 okay um so as i think i hit the wrong guy actually no you hit yeah you chose a different one it's should be you should have hit 24 yeah yeah i got it okay um uh so let's see here that is going to uh that is obviously going to kill 24 and uh you're gonna knock him back six spaces and knock him through eight and seven so uh that is going to knock both of them prone so even though so while he's feeding on valus essentially you uh you punch him and kill him and spread his innards across the battlefield here so done dead um uh anything else that's everything zombie number 14 uh he enters willingly so he's out now okay um one two three down to Trixie just mobilized and uh gonna try and grab Trixie i don't appreciate this that is a hit now does she get a bonus to her reflex or just the ac it's just ac just ac so she is most definitely grabbed uh to keep count those of you at home valus has definitely been bitten and rikas has now been bitten wait you said that was from my ac my ac is i was no no no it's to reflex oh he's just asking if you got a bonus when was i bitten that's silly no i missed you by one i think yeah that's what it was sorry i was like when have i been bitten sorry my bad i got really scared we've had a lot of near near bites yeah yeah uh Trixie is grab Trixie your turn okay i'm going to do the disheartening strike against number 14 okay i really don't like him i really don't okay and i hit and you prove that you don't like him by hitting him hey and that will kill him anything else you'd like to do you're no longer grab now yeah can i use my action point and do it again on number six you sure can okay knock it out this time i hope so yay and you hit you hit gladiator number six go ahead and roll damage okay you have bloodied him okay that's fine rigas your turn okay so i have a question if i move right here and i do flames of purity which is a close burst three i would i be able to basically if it all hit be able to knock all the people out that are surrounding ballast or burst or blast i think it's let me double check i think it's a blast it's a blast okay there'd be some opportunity attacks in there wouldn't there you can shift one oh i thought he meant okay well i was going to move down here because i figured that would be able to get it unless am i getting you would take two opportunity attacks if you move there you can only shift one they move there that's fun you can move diagonally yeah but not down here he wanted to move here well i'm just looking where his finger's pointing so right here is that your finger brian yeah you can move there okay i will move there and then this is gonna get fun um so i'm gonna be able to hit um the so it would it would you have to pick a corner so like right here so you'd be able to hit uh three seven 19 because it would go out okay we'll do that uh so go with you first that is a hit to gladiator three we'll go with you next that is a miss that will miss and zombie 19 that's that is a hit so that will kill uh pretty much whatever you roll that'll kill uh the gladiator and the zombie um and then damn well i wish i would have been able to move down more because i wanted to do ruin of protection which gave each ally in the blast three hit points but no because no allies were in the blast never mind uh do i still need to roll damage though um um nah there's really no need okay uh anything else sir um no i'm good okay uh gladiator zombie nine oh man okay gonna shuffle down to greta and try and grab her uh that is a hit versus reflex so greta is grabbed again uh and gladiator number 10 one two move right here and try to bite greta fuck okay that is a low low roll um i didn't mean fuck uh there was like a little lag and i was worried that yeah yeah bear number two is going to start to stir oh no uh and stand up uh it is now uh it is now very much a zombie uh and let's see who would be closest i guess greta grabbed and everything so the zombie bear is going to motion towards greta cut his it did like the the throat has been ripped open so it's still it's still bleeding all over and just like there's there's just there's just things hanging from his his throat where it's been where it's been ripped open and it can't even it can't even roar or anything because the the the the the the vocal cords have been torn out um but still has teeth and is going to very much try to bite uh bite greta oh that is a crit one d9 um so yeah um greta has been bitten by a zombie bear it's a living 17 damage i'm about to say if there ever was a cooler fate you did get bit by a zombie bear zombie bear um baraneth your turn oh man okay uh um some would say that this is starting to turn south yeah yeah i kind of feel like it is um okay who's bitten valice has been and greta's bitten um is is valice being held um or is he just bitten bitten no he's not because they're prone because they're please grabbed they're prone you're right okay he's not grabbed anymore the the only the only person who's grabbed is me and i can get away with uh walk through darkness it makes me insubstantial um so if we wanted to if if we want to bail none of us are grabbed on this turn so i'm just putting that out there that has nothing to do with the fact that i've been eaten by a zombie bear not eaten you're still i'm a gnome i probably lost something okay oh gosh i don't want anyone to die here so uh rikis will look over at baraneth and just go uh trust yourself if you feel like it's time it's okay we can we can handle whatever it's going to come from calling amara and yeah you guys it's time to call her in um so i'm going to use my horn of summons all right is her blast gonna hit us we'll deal with that bridge in just a second that's the greatest question ever just so baraneth pulls out this horn and just gives it a mighty blow and it's like the blow the horn and you can direct any fan fiction to that's d a and d or podcast at gmail.com i didn't know valice called it the horn wow bread i was i was a sweet innocent elf until i met you all whatever she just went out yeah right now it started drinking demon boyfriend oh my gosh okay um just a boyfriend just saying so the horn has been blown and is that okay let's say that that's a minor uh is there anything else you'd like to do on your turn um yes okay i will um move one space i will use singing strike against this asshole right here um which is d 20 plus 13 that is a miss god damn it um however if you'd like to sing oh no um come on do it we need it sing zombies zombies you know what i was practicing that in the car the other day but here you go uh no it's um it's too long um you don't have to sing the entire thing give us a verse fine um i heard that zombies ate her brain and that's all i'm gonna do that is totally cool that is a plus two to your attack unfortunately that will still miss the zombie if she says you're gonna pay for that jason you realize oh dude i'll add it to the punch list for june that's fine it's beyond a punch list now you count the zombies on this board and that is how many we are adding to the punch list my friend come on that was pretty funny you got to admit you might want you might want to wear a cup list become the kick to the nads list oh man uh i'd like to take one trip where i don't get hit in the face i just just one um acting like this that's just not gonna happen uh just it was funny i just you can't take a joke um she'll forget about this by june she drinks all the time it'll be fine um she is a vindictive harpy a shoot interview for group two valis oh jeez okay valis what my fucking action point my friend oh shit sorry go ahead she's gonna unleash it on you jason i'm just gonna have to walk out of the room that is a crit it's a crit you say that will definitely kill let's see she poured all her malice and rage into that last one that was that's all that's what we needed admit it or not alanna you needed me to motivate you on that one valis's turn moving along quietly uh he jesus fuck it you know what uh he's not bloody uh great sword attack this is the problem i can't use half of valis's attacks because he's an aoe monster and he is always paired right up next to baranath and he can't hurt her so um great sword attack fucking a yes that's a hit uh 15 that'll be enough to kill the gladiator in front of you and him um and he is going to move further in up here actually uh zombie 17 is going to attack the bear and try and bite it come on marty pull through uh that wow that's super miss super super miss uh 21 will also shift down and try to uh bite the bear oh uh that is a hit so let's see bite damage 17 damage to the bear that bear number three has been bitten now can't get enough of that sugar crisp um let's see tricksy the least what's not see tricksy that's not tricksy is invisible tricksy's invisible yeah you can't see her she's busy tricksy bombards the zombie with oreo cookies oh he tries to lean forward and bite and crit misses he bites his own tongue uh bear number three uh who has now been bitten is super pissed at the zombie who bit him he's gonna turn and take a whack at him uh and totally miss 13 wow bear come on what's up with that the adores having a bad day uh bear number one is being flanked by two other zombies on the other side and he is going to do the same thing against number 17 uh that on the other hand will hit and kill 17. oh he can't hit two did you bears have action points or can you do like a roundhouse kick or something um this is chuck norris the bear uh bears don't get action it's not unless they're boss characters and that'd just be cheap only when they become zombies they get two action points they get something called super mega action points um that is the end of this round so here's what we're going to do let's see how many slots i have left open on this none uh the steady pounding on the other side of the the uh the arena that that that door is getting worse it's getting louder um and the doors are flexing and flexing uh flying above you casting a shadow above all is amara oh thank goodness and if ever there was a time to call in your big old panic button now would be the time uh amara is going to land smack dab bam right there that scared me i was like dragon um which is is if these things could be intimidated they would be because that's fucking intimidating and she's a zombie you left her alone and she got bit no no no nothing like that i come on would i come on um i will be however adding a couple of more zombies to the field because it's getting it's getting lonely now we need to we need to fix that and let's let's roll here boom boom boom bam boom boom boom terrible god damn it so these zombies are not stopping um across the you're you're watching like several several several of them plummet into these hoping holes across the across the chasms uh the the the the way here so you're you're just watching them funnel towards you they have no they have no negotiation skills when it comes to obstacles they're just like oh they're they're marching towards you and falling flat in there um wow okay zombie number 23 yeah zombie number 23 i love your hand 23 question mark 23 i'm it's it i'm at a deli counter at this point like they've taken numbers 23 23 uh 23 has already bitten you know he's gonna try and bite him again then it's already bitten the bear that's a miss okay well nice knowing you zombie number 23 zombie number 28 is going to try to get to alana what alana's not and she's not sorry who is the salana you speak of i'm operating on no sleep so um horn of summoning summons alana yes on a nurse and she's swearing a lot come bringing you mittens zombie improvement jane hats for all um so this is what's going to happen the dragon is going to get an opportunity attack because it's impossible to walk past this thing without crossing its fucking zone it's going to whip its tail like almost absentmindedly at this zombie stupid that it that is a crit that zombie goes flying across red mist um it is going to flick the zombie into the stands it almost it's like a baseball swing just like crack and it just like whips it into the stands so it that did not make it to baraneth uh so goodbye oh jesus gladiator number 12 please stand up please stand up um he's going to try and bite the grizzly bear and that is most definitely a hit uh grizzly bear 3 may be dead grizzly bear 3 is definitely dead towards jugular out done so yeah uh zombie number 18 it's getting silly guys come on this is this is uh man greta is still grabbed and bitten 18 is going to shuffle forward and try to bite greta again um a little help here guys hey my turn that is a miss that is a terrible roll and a miss uh gladiator zombie number six six thank you yeah you're welcome i don't even know where she's not tricks he's not grabbed let's try and grab tricksy let's not try and grab tricksy hey tricksy's grabbed zombie hugs for all they don't know boundaries they just keep coming uh greta your turn um now do i want to like pop away from this uh this grab right now or should i save that for when we bail for the door like when are we bailing for the door or is amara just gonna help us with this fight um i okay i kind of thought we were gonna because i mean if we get behind the door and close the door i mean maybe she can just ice blast the whole arena yeah yeah okay okay um yeah head to the door then okay um so don't you have to touch her to tell her that uh she knows let me know she can understand she landed in a pool full of zombies she gets why she's here yeah okay uh okay so i'm going to use my daily walk through darkness and i can shift up to 10 squares i'm phasing an insubstantial during the shift which would negate the grab uh and then i got to uh roll a d100 too because the rod of wonder is starting to vibrate in my pocket oh shit are you sure it's not your cell phone what are you looking at 91 okay and i'm heading for the door like obviously yeah exactly your shoelaces are tied together uh the wow the caster forgets everyone's name no matter how many times he or she is reminded and now is that like permanent that is permanent awesome well you can go back to just elf the elf yeah yeah you know a mule i got some

i'm sorry it wasn't my intention um did you still have an action point no she used the i used it i was very angry so i used um it was pretty cool when she did though can you shift one towards the door no you're held never mind never mind sorry so i rolled a one yeah thing well i was trying to look at my stuff and my cloak of poison says whenever you roll a natural one on an attack roll or saving throw you take an ongoing 10 poison damage till save ends oh you can end this effect by removing the cloak as a minor action do i have a minor action left yeah you can't take the cloak off throw it on the zombie you're like here you want to hug me so bad here's a cloak i believe you still take 10 damage right or is it 1d 10 damage it just says um it just says you take ongoing 10 poison damage let's say cloak of poison plus one whenever you're rolling natural one of the attack of the saving throw you take ongoing 10 points um all right so yeah you do take 10 right now but you can take it off now too it says that adjacent enemy hit you with a melee attack effect the triggering enemy takes ongoing five poison damage till save ends so does that mean when he hit me i should have read this thing sooner sorry you should have yeah that's okay it's okay so we're gonna give you 10 damage and you can take that off right now so that won't be a factor anymore but six still has his ongoing five poison damage right since well did hit me he's grabbing you not hitting you and you didn't do any damage okay in a minute though maybe i don't know oh we're gonna put it back on for that to work okay so you're not taking it off i already i already had the 10 damage already right yeah i'll just take it off anyways it's fine because i don't want to get another 10 i'm already getting pretty low yeah uh rickus your turn okay so i have a question um obviously i'm gonna be running towards the door and i have enough spaces would i be able to for whatever reason could i run up like okay this is getting really over complicated i apologize in advance if i run this way and go towards the door here if i'm here could i possibly make a like an athletics check or something to try to pull tricksy away from the zombie um that'll end your turn you will stop moving what if you ran here and i'd just be right in front of the door because even if i move right in front of the door well i'm right in front of the door and i could do that but i still haven't used an action point and that probably wouldn't help me at all would it you could do another move so i could what i'm asking is theoretically i could move up here try to grab her away from the zombie if that would work pop an action point go in the door and move yeah i can do that yes okay i'm gonna do that i didn't know you're so sweet what it's my lawful good side i'll shut um so otherwise you'd be like whatever be like fuck you bye um dagon's like leave the drow i left her for a reason so would i what would i be rolling uh you would be what i'll let you you know what i'll let you roll an athletics check so that's a d 20 plus 14 25. um you successfully uh free her from the grab oh she's still standing there but like you you just kind of like pull her back enough that like she's not grabbed anymore and i'm just confused and then i'll pop my action point and move in with dagon and fist bump him and try not to have my fist explode all right in the arena still is amara baranath valice and trixie uh gladiator number nine's turn uh he's going to shift over uh he is going to try and grab valice and he does motherfucker valice valice is grabbed again uh heart attack i she's gonna pass out over here because of the extra bite the the virus is moving a bit quicker than it normally would have and he is going to advance to stage two amara's turn sorry i don't see val is leaving either way i think he'll just want to stay in flight this is his last stand yeah okay stupid outside of the box thing that might like upset people could baranath possibly like run up to or is she okay what i'm gonna propose is could baranath theoretically run up to amara and be like hey can we hop on your back while you do this massive blazing attack and save people or we might have to do that yeah um i i can do lure of loyalty too and pull valice away well i'm also thinking that might because if that didn't hit then like baranath is gonna have to do an athletics check to try to pull valice away so but i'll just throw that out there i am trying to position this so that tricksy isn't in this massive blast um it's like playing billiards uh i'm not seeing a way to like really like i could i could light shit up right now with amara like she could knock out half these zombies most likely um you know what she is going to flap her wings and take off um and that is going to be a fortitude check for the zombie standing right next to her so that's just going to be an attack versus it's fortitude 27 that's going to knock this zombie down just her taking off um and she is going to fly over to here uh and she is going to rear back open her mouth uh and use her uh her freezing breath against everything in front of her uh so that'll hit if it hits it'll hit everything but tricksy pretty much yay um good lord let me frost breath okay so she's gonna let out this shriek and let's run down the line 12 that is a hit uh okay so zombie that's a hit bear that's a hit zombie that's a hit gladiator that's a hit go amara yes gladiator that's a hit yeah she hits everything she's getting extra dessert when we get back to the house and a great big damage roll jesus you feed her a carter sunday yeah 26 to everything in front of her um all of these zombies just freeze solid uh so yeah they are they are dead essentially frozen solid kind of crumble apart so that is horrifying if your zombie if you were able to feel horrified if you were yeah if you were totally um from the other side of the arena uh all of this noise is going to really spur on whatever the hell's on the other side of that door and you can see the bar keeping it shut splitting into as this massive push comes from the opposite side um gladiator zombie number 10 oh it's going to shift down to trixie uh and try to grab her you know you guys can leave me alone at any time just saying that is a that is a hit trixie is grabbed damn it you're just so likable among the dead that does not make me feel better it wasn't supposed to make you feel better zombie bear number two is going to try and bite trixie give you jason 22 versus your ac that is going to miss miss that is gonna miss stupid well i don't know your name just say you elf come on and motion towards the door uh i'm coming i'm coming believe me um oh my gosh okay arranged basic attack against this guy here okay um that is a hit okay and damage four is going to almost kill it but not quite jesus um valice is going to turn to berneth and shelf just go okay okay and i'm gonna look him straight in the face terrified and nod and i'm going to run to the door uh valice's turn come on valley fuck uh jason do you need a moment i'm trying to think um you know what uh blade of avernus uh against the two zombies who are currently uh attacking valis uh son of a bitch gonna miss and the second is going to hit though uh rolling damage uh that will kill the one zombie the other one is still grabbing him what valis is going to use is fire step and he is going to teleport five squares to just be on the door uh setting the setting the zombie on fire who had grabbed him the gladiator and killing it uh once on the other side of the door and he kind of pops back into existence this is going to give fire damage to each one of you that he's standing next to okay he can't help it uh and he is going to collapse um uh let me see exactly how much damage that's going to uh five fire damage sorry each one of you the 10 points for me yeah so uh so i'm the only one stuck in this stupid room one two three oh my lord four uh zombie 25 is going to move forward and try and grab at greta uh wow that is a hit so greta is grabbed almost a grid that's my best justin impersonation it was terrible i know two three four not quite enough to get anywhere number 29 um he is going to stand up uh and he's going to try to attack amara just kind of like just kind of like reach forward and grab at her mara's just gonna blow a little bit so he that is a hit so he is going to reach for it and just kind of like grab her shin just kind of just just just there's nothing really he can do it's kind of impotent rage but just just trying um uh and bear number one god i'm gonna need a break after this uh bear number one is going to swing at number 23 and hit it that will kill number 23 um this this this arena is emptying out guys i'm just letting you know from across the arena the bar supporting the door and keeping it shut finally gives way and there is a terrible noise as the doors kind of fly outward and what enters the arena the fuck is that thing no way it's a blue eyes white dragon oh man no it is a zombified blue dragon oh my gosh wow um you can only surmise that it was being kept for some large fight coming up and either the zombies got to it or maybe the virus itself took out the dragon but it definitely died and it definitely came back and you can see where um just like bits and pieces of its scales and skin are hanging off and it's it's very much its eyes are just glazed over white it is definitely an undead dragon and let's add this guy to the initiative tracker you guys have options now one you guys can cut and run the the the remaining of you who are in the doorway and can flee are baranath valis daegon and rikas uh right now greta is grabbed by a zombie and you got some other zombified stuff closing in on you trixie is grabbed in in the arena like she is she is going to be zombie chow on the other on the other side of this arena you have a zombified blue dragon uh who will be fighting with amara like there's just no way amara can't take this thing on it's it's a fully functional dragon just a zombie now i will say that taking down this zombie will be a major feather in your cap and worth a ton of xp as long as you hit it at some point and it's not just amara sitting there duking it out with it on the other hand um you could totally cut and run and just just just cut and run just leave and then so it is up to you currently valis and greta have been bitten now i don't we've used a lot of our dailies too that's the other problem is that a lot of our heavy uh heavy attacks are already used up i was gonna say i haven't i've been trying to not use those as much as possible i'm actually yeah one left i've used one encounter i've been like waiting for the boss fight yeah i've only used one encounter as well here it is yeah i um i don't want to leave her you guys remember when we were leaving uh on a call the first time and there was that tower we climbed the tower and we could see the city and we saw the darkspane guys running into that house yeah how far are we from that tower because maybe we could summon um silver claw and hammer hand and see if uh if they would converge on the arena too and we'd uh have a little more help taking this thing down um it would take you about i mean now this is assuming you don't get into any fights along the way it'll take you about uh 10 minutes or so to backtrack to it okay and that's assuming you don't get into any fights along the way and you didn't clear the tower coming here just a reminder would they like i realize they're not in our party but since they're allies would they not have heard the horn they are not in your party damn which is it to say they're not nearby or they're not they're not going to hear commotion or they're not gonna i'm just saying that but their would their perception of like seeing a zombified blue dragon emerge like well they would have saw amar pass over too that's true i guess they probably got used to it by now and they're going to hear a commotion soon like really really soon they probably heard the blue dragon enter the arena by now because this the way this thing is it's you know how arenas are built they're meant to funnel all of that noise and stuff outward like it's it's sounding like there's a goddamn party over here and they're not invited so it's not unreasonable to think that that i mean they're gonna show up eventually you just don't know when now can we do a perception check on the arena to see if there's other zombies pouring in here or if we're just going to deal with the dragon i'm gonna let you i'm gonna let you do that for free right now excellent not part of your turn go ahead okay because this is a reassess moment 14. fuck 14 um most of the zombie activity has either cleared out or they are they have fallen into the pit or you've murdered them you you guys have cut through quite a few zombies um there are the ones that are surrounding you um uh just immediately and then of course there's the zombified blue dragon across the way actually let me roll his initiative real quick uh while you do that i'll look around at the party and well obviously greta's being grabbed right now but i'll just shout uh that we need to take care of the little bits right now that we can i trust amara and i trust her abilities so let's try to get rid of these little bits while we can and then we'll help her the best we can with the uh zombified blue dragon that we've seen um all right i'm gonna nod in agreement and uh yeah i'm ready to go back in imagine you're having this conversation with greta who's trying to fight off a zombie who's grabbed and i agree okay this is this pesky little thing i don't know your name but fucking help me potato head come here lace face come on um and the blue dragon rolls for initiative and it's first plus 10 it has a speed of 27 it is the fastest zombified blue dragon ever oh man what is its fucking move speed what wow what is this thing capable of here um do they fly by the way they fly they do they do yes well might as well stay inflated then there's only one dragon the black dragon they don't really fly they're more like giant lizards they're closely they they can kind of hover they can kind of like fly short bursts but they're not they're not really like white blue or red dragons oh i wasn't sure about blue because they they hide under sand right yeah they do yeah that's yeah they're they're really opportunistic hunters yeah yeah okay he has a movement speed of 15 while that's close while flying two three four five six seven eight ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen and it falls into the pit fifteen boom um so that is his movement that is impressive um i suppose the blue dragon could zombify our white dragon let's yeah let's please not just just something to consider yep yep yep i know i've been considering this for the last thanks james really appreciate you right now because every worst case scenario hasn't already my head eight times and gently whacked the back of dagon's head as a minor actor call me captain obvious you're like the fucking ray stance stay like stay puff marshmallow man person of dnd because like whatever horrible thing you come up with jason creates i know first it was doug it just popped right in there much much larger than i would assume that this other dragon or um amara is okay uh yeah amara is is bigger than this blue dragon yeah so she might have tougher hide and not be susceptible to dragon bites i don't know we'll see all right uh blue dragon is going to use his breath attack against amara which is um this stream of electricity so from his undead gaping mall uh he he just kind of uh spreads his fangs here his jaw opens and that is a hit versus amara's wow that's versus reflex jesus that is 23 damage so that's that's that's not that's not too bad um so this this this breath weapon oh wow that's actually also going to hit the zombie next to amara that's grabbing her and that would kill it yeah um so that's 23 damage to amara um so this just just coils of electricity are wrapping themselves around her it seems like it's it's almost like a magic like magic snakes like just just pure raw electricity just shocking this shit out of her and uh she kind of let loose this this this awful scream greta your turn you're being grabbed okay i'm just gonna have to use a melee basic attack uh against that thing which is never a good idea for grata 19 that'll hit oh for today so just getting fed up with this i imagine you just like stab it in the eye or something yeah or just sort of like gun butt with the rod right in the forehead yeah uh that will kill it okay two damage yes yeah that'll still um also too i'd like to use my cloud sights um which is an at will and it's the trigger is you reduce a creature to zero hit points um and it's a burst five for one creature in the burst takes a minus five penalty to attack rolls made against me until the end of my next turn so let's go with number 11 got it love it awesome uh do you want to move for anything um no i'm good okay dagon your turn okay do you have one more attack before you get the charge i have one more yeah okay so i'm gonna just do uh a regular and then i'll charge up and use maybe a daily but uh i'll move over here uh and use force punch on this zombie here all right that would be the one grabbing tricksy yes i'll tell her not to look into it too much hey thanks everybody that is a hit beautiful okay damage 20 lamb you have killed it um that will knock him into the bear but the it will not knock the bear down uh the bear's fortitude is a little bit higher than uh let's say a regular zombie here um is there anything else you'd like to do well you've got a charge now you've moved and used your last move there so yeah i think i'm up for a round here 27 is going to attack yeah going to attack the the bear in front of it completely oblivious to the dragon war very resilient bear that oh damn that will kill the bear uh so yes the bear has been bitten to death and it is currently dead tricksy your turn you are no longer ground hey okay and the bear in front of me is not my friend right nope oh teddy teddy yeah that was teddy marty's on marty's the resilient one okay i'm gonna do a palming strike against the bear that is a hit yay oh i was one short of being a crit i think anyways so damage 13. 13 damage gorgeous uh anything else um i'm gonna shift one okay oh it's not okay i want to shift one this way i'm gonna start working my way towards the door just in case gorgeous rig is your turn okay i'm gonna come barreling out of the doorway and run up to number 11 and take a swing at him with my uh since it's been so reliable and i want to save all my big guns with my melee basic attack all right bailey basic but billy maze attack that it hits and damage 16 damage uh 16 damage gorgeous you bloodied it uh anything else uh no i'm good amara's turn um after the uh the electricity attack has subsided amara is going to whip around and uh let's see um amara is going to return the favor with her frost breath attack that is going to hit almost a crit almost not quite i was sitting here going what happens if it's a crit does she just explode i want to see like a kamehameha battle where they both blow at the same time and it's you know the theme struggle uh that is 24 damage to uh to the blue uh i almost go to the blue eyes white dragon god damn it i'm sorry uh um uh bear number two is going to try and bite at trixie just snap at her as uh she's just trying to turn away here stupid teddy god damn it they're supposed to like 17 versus ac that is going to miss stupid teddy baranath all right uh moving out one and we will try a ranged basic attack against wait is this bear a zombie zombie a bear one it's dead it's dead okay probably gonna be a zombie here soon okay so not yet okay so let's splatter its brains while it's like defenseless sure can oh what would the thing how about you do that as a miner oh okay all right so like if you're near it like yeah you know um so ranged attack against uh this fellow here seriously here we go that is gonna miss oh okay can i miner and hit our bear um i'm gonna let you yeah all right because it's a non-moving target it's a yeah so you're you're fine that bear will not get back up all right thank you um you got your mileage out of those bears though yeah um and i'm done i think that's all i can do man valice um he's already on stage two this is not great um rikas is going to look back at valice and just shout you probably should just stay behind for as long as you possibly can it's for the best it's best for the party hmm god he could use fire step but i don't want to burn greta you know he doesn't really care for he never cared for galford that much i still don't want to burn him um he's gonna take a turn and catch his breath i think okay i'm gonna just look at him worried uh gladiator zombie number 11 is going to try and bite at rikas that will miss um oh god it's zombie dragon's turn again seems like he just got one he is like he looks so frightening yeah that is that is an intimidating pick that's just terrifying uh the zombie dragon is going to just charge at amara uh so they are locked up with each other and he is going to use uh his his these massive talents he has uh uh which they use to kind of tunnel under the uh the sand and swipe at amara that is gonna hit oh and damage 23 another 23 to amara um that will bring up greta uh okay so i'm going to move actually you know what i can hit uh 11 with shadow claws from where i am okay that's a hit that is a hit yes 14 damage that will kill it whoo and i'm done all right dagon you need to charge roll a flight to 20 please okay 19 wow that was oh do you know what happens if you roll a flat 20 like a like a crit everybody's head explodes um you roll double damage if you ever do that i just got weirdly turned on is that making anybody uncomfortable he's never done it and dagon's never done it we have yet to have a scion on the show do it and i can't wait for it to happen because that is fucking retarded damage uh i'm picturing james going super saiyan the little daylights out of that stupid blue dragon i almost said blue ice dragon but um as it stands now you get a plus 15 on your next attack if it hits uh zombie number 27 is going to try and move forward and open its mouth and try and bite baraneth oh oh that is a hit oh boy um okay baraneth greta and valice have all been bitten um tricksy your turn this sucks please kill the bear okay yeah okay you kill the bear i'll take care of 27 okay i'm going to do my disheartening strike it's actually almost no different than palming uh palming strike but it's let's see if it works that is a hit a crit yes what beautiful yay uh what is the damage 1d4 plus nine 13 13 13 that will almost kill the bear god damn it you've definitely bloodied it you sure that's all you get you have an enchanted weapon don't you oh hold on i probably do should do something if you it's if it's enchanted like that's your weapon one critical 1d6 damage per plus okay so roll um that is enchanted plus two bonus so roll 2d6 please that'll do that yeah that's gonna kill seven that will almost kill the bear who invited these bears stupid bear the irony is that like they're tougher and against normal enemies that would have been great but all it takes is one bite to fucking infect them and then you got tough zombie bears that's the um rick is your turn i'm going to sprint up to number 27 and take a big whack at his head um that is a hit uh that will kill uh zombie number 27 which leaves one last zombie that we cannot kill for the life of us yeah one zombie bear hey i have a quick question now that i'm looking at my stuff yes it says that i have a summoned armor plus two it says uh armor level six uh you can vanish this armor to a secure extra-dimensional location at any point in the future unless you are wearing armor you can use another minor action to recall the armor the armor appears on you as though you had done it normally am i nor am i wearing it right now yes yeah yeah unless that enhancement plus two to my ac automatically figure into my 24 ac or do i have to already met yeah it's already in there okay yeah the only thing that's for is like if you're trying to sneak into something and just like oh you're wearing full armor that's kind of suspicious you can kind of like zap it out of existence okay okay it's for sneaking and stuff okay for fancy ballroom type things just because i'm a dancer uh geez okay amara and this dragon are just beating the shit out of each other they're kind of twisting around and trying to outmaneuver each other um amar is going to use dragon's fury rear back and use its claws attack twice oh the first one's gonna miss and the second one's going to hit thankfully wait that is the wrong damage value 23 damage man the 23 keeps coming up with these two so they're pretty much keeping pace with each other guys they're doing equal damage to each other if uh you're keeping track at home that brings up bear number two bear number two you know me and this bear is going to shift over to day gun what plot twist and try to bite him and 20 oh that's a shit oh shit baraneth valice greta and day gun have now officially been bitten uh and let me roll damage on that oh i didn't roll damage on baraneth either damn it um let me let me do that while i'm while i'm here uh 15 for baraneth and 12 for day gone baraneth your turn um okay uh um i'm i'm gonna move and i will use i don't know what i'm gonna use uh okay i'll do um i'll do my ranged attack 14 that is going to miss the bear fucking bear that was the first bear to turn too that's these fucking bears are the most resilient things i've ever seen well i'll bet you a zombie bear is probably stronger than a regular bear so they got they got stronger after we killed them after they got killed um i'm done valice uh okay valice is gonna stand up and uh he's kind of crouched down not prone um uh jeez um two three uh he's going to march out into the arena here and use the kettenhund against bear number two uh so he starts swinging the big link the chain with the bear trap attached to it and come on whips it at the bear oh my god it's going to miss jesus those fucking negatives are starting to pile up on him um fuck it i need this bear going from the next turn okay action point yeah yeah we gotta try that again with all the negatives oh my god the exact same role ladies and gentlemen we're having a lot of firsts because i don't remember that ever happening before zombie blue dragon oh man uh he's gonna use draconic fury and he is going to use his claw attack twice oh jesus that's gonna hit and it's gonna hit twice shit uh 22 damage and 23 damage jesus uh okay uh greta your turn is amara is not bloodied though not yet no okay um all right so i will move up and use uh shadow claws on the bear i guess all right best i can do miss damn it jesus christ this fucking bear is unstoppable i'm done this bear is hulk hogan in his prime he's just not he's not selling anything you're tossing at him day gun yeah okay i didn't want to i didn't want to waste all right bear let's get on yeah okay yeah force punch the bear yes that is a hit okay would you like to roll damage because it would feel good yes okay go ahead plus 20 plus 15 so jesus okay so that's what 38 damage 38 damage 38 damage you turn this bear into a fucking carpet like it's done it's a rug relieved but at the same time we got this blue dragon to deal with now well at least you can swarm it there are no more zombies in the arena to deal with there are no more amar is getting her ass kicked i'll be honest like this is not she's not she's not used to fighting apparently we we have to get in there i'm gonna move the people that have been bitten and just say that if they have any melee they or any uh ranged attacks they need to stay back because we can't risk anybody else getting even further down the uh the virus path now if if we give valis the cure will it also heal some of his like hit points um the cure is going to work it it's it's not instantaneous like it's not like a healing potion it's it's something that it's going to work its way through him it's yeah but it's not i'm also not doing a thing he was bit twice he needs two cures haha it's not that he's just infected yeah i'm not a dick um okay valis is pretty fucked up though should we give him one well how is he's not bloodied yet like well i mean he could advance to another stage though he's been bitten twice yeah yeah the matter if you remember the more active you are where you get the blood pumping the worse it gets yeah that's why i think anybody with ranged attacks should just stay back and do ranged attacks to be able to hold a position so strategically it might help but i this is when the moral choices come in because we have three cures and four people that have been bitten so well we can't let the blue dragon get out of the arena because if it gets out of the arena and gets out into the world there'll be a lot more people dying than just us oh yeah no i'm not saying that we shouldn't attack it i'm just saying we gotta play this strategically so we don't end up losing anybody i'm gonna bum rush that thing and knock its skull off its shoulders yeah no like in for a penny in for a pound we can't we cannot let this thing leave the city um so do we want to try to give a cure to somebody right now or do we want to just move on and keep moving forward what is valis's handicap right now uh he's getting a negative three to uh any attack rules he makes and uh i believe it's a negative two to all defenses um yeah he needs a cure you guys um yeah yeah that'll just be a minor action if anyone wants to walk by and hand him one uh who's holding them i'm holding them okay and you're lucky greta's holding them because if it was galford holding them he would not be giving you one well you're lucky you were greta when he could have lit you on fire too who said you were holding them i uh i was holding them i took the ground downstairs yeah yeah she grabbed them yeah i believe he did yeah actually on she did i got used to that yeah i yeah i kind of baffles my mind all right so it is trixie's turn dagon did you want to move before we i don't think i can't get it yeah push again you didn't oh you're right right right right okay uh yeah sure um i'll just move over here okay uh trixie your turn okay i had a question about my obsidian steed it says you can use this figure in to conjure a horse that appears to be made of obsidian as a free action you can spend a healing surge when activating this item to give the creature temporary hit points equal to your healing surge value yes so can you tell me anything about its attacks at all well it's not really used for attacks you can like you can rear back and kick something it's not going to really be as effective as if you were hitting something but what it will do is allow you to move about the arena more quickly because you're conjuring a fucking devil horse basically that's um do it if we got to move around like we don't want to all want to be standing in one place and this thing pops off its uh electro blasts again if it improves your speed then i think it's worth it i was gonna say we can have people like line up right there that can do ranged attacks and then because i feel like you and i trixie are gonna be the big tanks along with dagon but he has more range to stuff too so one of us can kind of go around this way oh well no that's a pit right there um it's yours it only it only it's only conjurable for you now if someone rides with you that's cool but like it's not it's not something you can hand off unless you hand off the figurine itself um so it kind of answers your call uh it's also going to give you a plus two to your reflex while you're riding it yeah do it do it do it do it do it all right i am going to use my figurine to conjure my demon horse um what is your demon horse's name bobo okay oh god the most intimidating demon horse in the world it is that is canon and from this point forward whenever you want to summon it you will have to call it by that name i will okay i just hope my cat doesn't come coming after me it's kind of derpy it doesn't yeah hey you'd be nice to my derby cat bobo that's terrible but it's short for like bielza bobo actually my cat name my mom named our cat mr bobo licious and i won't do it so he has been called bobo for the rest of his life i had a cat named mr bojangles so i feel your pain so bobo bobo is conjured directly in front of you and it is this crystalline looking horse like it's made of black volcanic glass almost that's what it looks like um you have to roll in order not to jump straight into its ass um it's also got these gorgeous fiery eyes like it's it's this is an intimidating sight this is a bad ass horse yeah um uh so that is a uh let's see that is a minor that's a standard action to conjure it yeah minor action to mount it that was a daily yeah but it's a standard action like that's uh yeah so you've conjured this thing and you can uh you can mount it for free if you offer for a minor action if you like it won't charge you a thing good to know okay i will mention that this show has a has a pretty storied history of of bad interactions with horse horses horses we're gonna hope that bobo's different well there are no arrows in the area so you're not going to get pelted with them that's that's that's good and you've already not run into its ass so that's good would you like to move your movement speed is a plus two while while riding bobo so it's an eight yes are we have we decided if we're moving up towards our dragon now uh yeah i think we are okay just trying to see if she can talk you out of it real quick just okay here i be all right there you be rikas okay um i'm just gonna move here because i've already used my action point and all that fun jazz and i am like have no ranged attacks so that's all i can really do right now okay well you can move again oh i guess i could one two three four five all right um mara is going to jeez um mara's gonna roll double claw attacks again oh jeez that's gonna miss and that's gonna miss jeez oh no that's not great but raneth your turn oh gosh okay um so how can i get um like a cure from greta and get it to valis like i'll count okay you're standing right next to greta yeah i would count that as just well that'd be a minor action but you wouldn't you know what i'll count it as a free action because you're literally just kind of handing okay be a minor this would still be a minor yeah okay um yeah all right so can so can i do that then you can but you won't be able to hand it off because it's another minor ah okay um okay fine that's what i'll do um okay so if greta will hand me one so you you can use a standard to hand it to him too i suppose uh yeah that's fine i'll do that all right that'll lead up your turn just to let you know that's assuming i give it to you right that again yes that's assuming yeah okay does greta um i'll all hand one over but i'll look brandeth in the eyes like you know knowing that it's me that's going to die well no wait i'll give her a sort of a smile like you know it's okay i can be the i can be the one that dies he'll heal valis but uh if it's my time it's my time i'm i'm gonna look at greta really confused and um and turn to valis and open the potion for him um and tell him to please please take this now oh man valis is okay so let's see valis is going to witness this exchange he's he's going to look over to greta and just kind of give him a look like are you sure and i'll i'll close my eyes and nod fuck valis they can't win this without you take the potion man that's tough do we need a second break oh let's go take walks i need to take a walk valis is going to take the potion that oh man i don't know that just doesn't seem right though now greta looks relieved i've got a giant chomp from a bear like right in my shoulder anyways so yeah i mean valis has been down twice you know even if you give me the potion i may bleed out before i get any healing valis is going to refuse it just doesn't like that's not that doesn't seem right that just he wouldn't take it from even like greta technically has done nothing to valis galford did and that would be the only you know i mean that would be like all right well fuck galford but i'm alice i'm gonna hand it back to uh baranath and say make him take this and uh and back away from the two of them so you're basically just not offering a choice it's take it or take it i'm i'm yeah actually i'm gonna handle all three of them to baranath now what the all right valis is just gonna look fed up with this argument in the midst of a fucking dragon fight behind him and while he's trepidatious about he's just going to take the damn thing and chug it okay so after after a bit of a time here uh valis will not be uh like it this is a vile thing it looks like too this is like pepto bismol times two thousand like it's fucking disgusting tasting um that pepperanith could do a heel check on it which would help with the wounds and such yeah yeah she could do that anybody yeah um but yeah like he won't be infected now it's just it it takes yeah so he will not be he will not be a zombie that that will not happen unless of course he gets bitten again um he's he's gonna look over to greta and say thank you i'll say let's go help the uh let's go help the white dragon one two three four five six he is going to charge up forward and he's gonna try to use the oh my god uh he's gonna try to use the kettan hunt on this dragon oh that's a crit miss jesus christ i gave my life for a crit miss uh yeah that uh maybe he doesn't have his full strength back ah the zombie dragon on the other hand um oh wow okay um you know what just claws again just just two more claws uh that is a hit that is a miss so one of these will land and let me guess it's like a 23 25 jesus that will bloody amara now greta i'm intrigued your turn okay uh i'm going to move up uh to within 10 squares of this thing one two three four five six so okay so i can well i have to move there and i can hit it uh and use sharded darkness which is my daily and uh if i miss power is not expended okay oops hang on oh fuck okay power not expended that is a crit miss jesus um day gone now what you got a rod of uh wonder pop off there that was a daily yeah it was a daily yeah it missed but it was a daily yeah um you still used a daily so go ahead hey jesus i don't even know if oh jesus not more fairs casters arms are replaced with tentacles oh man oh my gosh i can still hold my rod though yes you can it's not it's not so i'll be enveloped in sort of a magical blast and then fall down onto my knees with sort of blood gushing out of my throat and then both my arms turn into tentacles and i'll drop my rod and take a second to recover from this jesus this is terrible man uh jay gone oh boy okay i'm gonna uh move up beside tentacle arms here and i'm gonna use my daily uh mental trauma to action range 20 okay uh and if i miss it's half damage so this of course is on the scurvy blue dragon oops sorry it's all good so that's beautiful totally a hit so that's damage 5d 10 plus 10 oof shit come on baby give me a big number that is 40 damage ladies and gentlemen yes uh you will of course have to drop to a knee and charge but 40 damage come on Trixie okay um i was looking at duelist demand and i'm i'm ruining a lightweight right uh let's see here yeah i believe so yeah okay i'm gonna try this because either way if i miss the target if i get it the target is immobilized if i miss the target is immobilized so i am going to move up to right here okay i am right next to the dragon yep and i am going to shoot off my duelist demand and i hit okay gorgeous and damage 12 it says uh hit says two what does it mean when the w is in weapon weapon uh two weapons so you do that modifier damage and the target is immobilized and grants combat advantage to you uh the effect ends if the target ends its turn and you are not adjacent to it so i have to stay here so it is immobilized okay so it can't move not that it was really doing that anyway but still uh anything else um no i'm scared rickus i'm gonna move one two three four five say that very confidently um then i'm gonna fire off a daily um which again sorry i gotta read up on burst and blast if i do ruin of undeniable destruction if i remember that uh one right undeniable dawn i believe undeniable dawn whatever it is um it's i can hit the dragon correct burst creates a zone that lasts until i mean well it's just the burst am i in the right yeah each enemy in the bird yeah yeah yeah you're okay what's a burst that comes out from you okay i just wanted to make sure oh god i just moved the dragon move back and it stops tricksy yeah that is a hit almost a cream um and then 18 damage uh max damage the burst creates a zone that lasts until the end of your next turn wait no never mind that had no bearing um all allies gaining plus two power bonus to all defenses while in the zone yeah so that totally that they get a plus two like amara would get a plus two oh sweet yeah awesome amara tricksy valis they'd all get plus two so that is totally worth mentioning oh i just i didn't think i had done that correctly awesome uh amari is going to try and push off the ground rear back and use her claws one more time come on amara oh that one's gonna miss come on hit her and that is a crit miss both yes jesus oh gosh call for the dragon they said it would be fun they said baranath okay so moving on to um i think that's six spaces um we're gonna start off with healing word uh for amara and healing word is buffed but it gives me 2d6 plus five healing for her plus a healing surge 11 plus her healing surge value all right gorgeous oh wow that is that is quite a bit okay in addition to that i am going to use astral seal which is ranged five we're going to use that on our zombie blue dragon and it is d20 plus 12 wow that's gonna miss um i'm sorry that's all i've got you guys wait no hang on hang on um um um free action elven accuracy i'm going to roll that again um uh i'm going to roll that again on her and i get a plus two uh for using elven accuracy god damn it yes okay um sorry um valice's turn come on valley god he already used his daily in the fight before he's gonna sidle right up next to this damn dragon and oh jeez okay just uses great sword i guess jesus that is a miss it's a 21 it's just not quite enough tiefling accuracy tiefling accuracy uh that will end the round from the gates behind you what what 10 000 zomb no we all die i am tired of this charade let's end it no um uh there is screaming coming from the gates behind you as uh several figures pour in um there appear to be uh silver claw agents uh there appear to be uh hammer hand warriors and ullanda and norhorn themselves are here wow all riding fleets of bobos finally everyone wishes they had a bobo depending on the context you use that i can be taken real dirty yeah taking real dirty gosh you guys such children i keep thinking of a bobo from double dragon that's twice he's come up today me too yeah yeah i wonder what he's up to all right let me add all these to the initiative tracker here i'm getting some table lag today no shit i keep uh you've been wearing out that initiative tracker you know that yeah i have tables been tables feeling like a zombie today of course our allies get shit initiative they they seem to um we're here what's going on you guys look like you're uh dealing with something so we're here to fight those bears yeah we heard there was a bear problem it's unbearable to deal with uh you knew it was coming of course where's pun dog yeah um let's see here maybe my table wants to freeze blue dragon's turn um let's see here what can he do um why he can do a few things he's still immobilized though right he is yes okay uh he is going to use lightning burst and lightning is going to arc off of his scales and go out in all directions it's a burst three oh gosh uh so let's see that's amara that's one two that's everybody next to him so uh berneth amara tricksy valis and rikis i'm gonna start rolling attacks uh that is a hit that is a miss to your reflex that is a crit miss to berneth wow don't forget the plus two that's the ac no it's to all defenses all defenses right right right thank you oh that's a 30 versus and rikis that is a hit and um god that's a hit to val wait plus two no yeah that his fucking reflex is shit he's right there with me all right let's roll some damage please be gentle 13 13 damage to everyone here okay oh did you take that off already uh it should have automatically took it off for you oh i was taking it off manually yeah whoops that was the only yeah that yeah i'll add that 13 i just took off then come on table hold it together come on table you got this she's been through a lot today uh greta okay so greta is down on all floors on all fours with like blood porn out of the wound on her shoulder and uh she's gonna reach around with her tentacle arms until she finds a rod and slowly stand up and try shard of darkness one more time okay all right hit that is a hit okay that is 3d 10 plus 8 oh actually you know what i can just roll damage right on the uh creature 29 damage very nice and then the rod of wonder starts shaking again and it does this on purpose i swear i'm gonna go i'm going out big i hope and it doesn't affect adjacent allies one random person in the party forgets how to read freakish obviously um valice is technically part of your party um roll a d6 i guess well okay that's the thing there's no there's no seven d6 would be perfect yeah go ahead roll a d6 four oh wow i should have assigned values to that before i just had you roll fucking random dice so i'm an idiot give me a second oh i was gonna say you could have just stuck like valice at the end next to dagon and then just use the pictures inside everyone yeah here's what we'll do yeah valice will be the last one in the but we didn't establish that first so brand is being one tricksy two greta three rikas four dagon five and valis six go ahead and roll one more time okay two two tricksy has just forgotten how to read you can learn again it's just hooked on phonics they have a synth area i think well 100 people doesn't need books but yeah i'm gonna get all that fancy book learning to stab things look would you would you give up 29 damage to uh to a blue zombie blue dragon just for some book reading yeah fine i'm gonna okay then i'm gonna collapse again on my turn take on your turn uh i believe i'm charging so i will roll my d20 17. 17 that will be another 15 damage if you do land your next attack all right tricksy your turn okay um i guess since i'm right here i'll do the sand in the eyes thing it's it says dexterity modifier damage and the target is blinded until the end of your next turn trying to throw sand in his eyes okay the dragon that lives under the sand i missed anyways yeah it's the dragon that doesn't blink because it's undead yeah surprisingly that did not work against um i'm trying here no hey no i do not fault you for trying that is admirable if he would have been blinded this could have been very good it could yes totally um rikas your turn okay i'm gonna run up here and use my other daily uh which is ruin of the final act uh it is a d oh god i almost forgot how to do this um okay that was a hit i forgot to add the bonuses but that works um it's uh its effect is the target is affected by a deathly ruin save ends until the ruin ends you and your allies gain a plus two power bonus to damage rules against the target and whenever you or any of your allies hit the target that bonus increases by one awesome uh is there damage to roll and then god damn it i hit the stupid thing 25 25. do i forget because i've used this before do we want to add the two to that now because i forgot to add the two to that or does that work do you want to just work with that for the next time somebody hits it i thought it was allies who hit it it's you and your allies it's you and your allies um then just two i'll get it just add two to the damage um okay uh anything else uh nope uh amara's turn jeez amara's gonna pull something out here um and if she hits just remember if she hits it's plus two with the damage too okay well actually be plus three all right claws attack again using dragon's fury getting two of them that's a miss that's a hit okay so oh you just hit amara you didn't hit the zombie blue dragon look at the dice it was a 28 that would still okay my my table's lagging so it's kind of jumpy and that is jesus 21 damage this dragon is kind of like it's it it appears to be wobbly like it it appears to like it's barely trying to hold itself together it looks like sorry to be a pest is that with the plus three already added to it since i since that ruin basically adds plus three to damage and then uh yes okay i just want to double check i'm gonna be a real stickler about that because i want to know you should be you should be yeah next one that hits we get plus four so we keep going out that's pretty awesome i love that attack that is downright sexy that's that is my boss attack uh so these these these okay these hammer hammer hand and silver claw guys are just going to start charging at this dragon seeing seeing what's going on they are here to help this table wants to crash so hard right baranath come on be be not muted i'm sorry hi um i'm gonna use break the spirit against our zombie dragon here god damn it um why am i not hitting anything um use your action point yes yeah i did do i only get one yes okay sorry at this level yes um uh damn damn damn my can now can i use my holy healers weapon even if i don't hit my attack uh okay we'll wait a second i'm trying to get this table to cooperate here why don't i go look at it baranath what is it holy healers weapon yeah it says um add this weapons enhancement bonus to the amount healed by your healing word power healing daily minor action an ally within five squares if you can spend a healing surge to regain hit points equal to five plus your wisdom on so basically yeah if you use your healing word this shame this thing should um oh it's only when you crit it's only when you crit that's what it is no critical gives me one d6 damage per plus when i crit oh property oh sorry property add this weapons enhancement bonus to the amount healed by your healing word so what's its enhancement bonus plus two where is that oh i guess i can't plus can't see that because it's a plus two weapon okay yeah it's a plus two weapon so yeah yeah so i guess you would just add two to your healing word yes so yeah you'd add plus two to the healing sorry um this dragon appears to be on its last legs sorry does that mean okay okay so i can't use it then okay all right i'm done okay uh that was branath's turn valus oh valus uh he's gonna use his great sword and just try to stab this thing in its side it's a hit nice oh thank goodness i'll kill it please i don't even care about in the brain valus i don't think 18 damage will kill the dragon yes yes that feels awful valus should not get credit for that that that kill like it feels bad got the cure so he needed it to finish it off i just honestly i wanted the notable kill because i've never gotten a notable kill right i wanted to literally just buff the shit out of it where literally if we like barely hit something on it it would just do a shit ton of damage that that will take you out of combat and bring you all into rehab or a drinking problem day gone yes make a perception roll please okay 21 21 uh panning over your allies uh you see that many of your own crew have been bitten oh son of a bitch uh along with norhorn hammerhand who has a chunk taken out of uh just where the armor stops around the neck but the shoulder area uh and appears as though one of the silver claw agents one of their one of their one of their guys have been bitten as well so on the next session uh you guys will have some decisions to make you yeah we'll also be talking about rituals so um congratulations you guys cleared the arena you've you've you've taken everything i've thrown at you today oh my god and no one's officially died yet no one has officially died what that known you should swell with pride i tossed nasty shit at you today who is bitten right now it's uh greta be greta day gone and valice no well no he had the cure so it's valice was technically bitten but not infected three bitten two cures and uh you got norhorn and one of the agents of the silver claw too they're not in our group fuck them no i'm just saying they don't even know you have a cure oh so yeah all right that's a good place to wrap it up yeah you guys enjoy your dinner tonight and and have fun i'm uh i'm gonna go furiously masturbate with my tentacle arms is that is that permanent yep yeah no yeah if he rolls the 90 whatever again do they go away yes okay the rod giveth and the rod taketh away okay can you imagine how pissed galford would be if i rolled under 19 turned back into galford and then he found out that um he can't say anyone's name and he has tentacle arms it's it's yeah dude there's really good stuff on the list and the bears helped yeah do you know and then they then the bear bit me and killed me do you know what you are right now from sonic for hire uh oh am i shaniqua you're shaniqua avocado oh my god you guys i almost started crying i'm not gonna lie like i was just sitting here every time somebody else would get bit i would just like oh my god make it stop it was a terrible nightmare you guys were you guys were doing really well and then he just kept closing in and closing in and closing in but yeah i figured you would have bailed a lot sooner that was probably my best thing at combat that i've ever had i don't think i missed an attack today i think i i think we used a lot of our stuff relatively effectively um i popped off like all my flipping dailies how many times like the rod because that's the one thing about shart of darkness there is that it doesn't get expended if i miss so i mean the rod of wonder could be going off several times in a battle.
