Guys, Christmas may be over, but that doesn't mean you can't treat yourself to nerd Christmas every single month of the year. It's the way Loot Crate works. You join Loot Crate. They pack you a super fucking awesome themed mystery box every month.

You receive that mystery box at your doorstep and then you can open it up and enjoy all of the delicious goodies inside. Every month there's a themed Loot Crate and this month it's time to rewind. They're going back and looking at franchises like Star Wars and Voltron and all kinds of stuff from our youth. You never know what you're going to get in the crate, but you know that it's going to be really cool and you're going to want it. This is our first sponsorship guys and it's really really exciting because it's a fucking awesome one. Jason already has Loot Crate.

I'm looking to get it myself. My sister has one. It's fucking awesome. I've seen it before. I want one. We wouldn't be pushing something that we don't think is awesome. What we would like you to do is if you're interested in Loot Crate, which you fucking should be, go to LootCrate.com/dandr. That's LootCrate.com/dandr. That will let them know that you guys are interested even if you don't end up buying it. Though if you do end up buying it, awesome. Jason will be doing an unboxing video later this month as well. I've been a Loot Crate subscriber since September and I've loved every single box that I've gotten in the mail.

But seriously, let's get into the show. I love you guys. Let's do that thing where we go around the table and introduce ourselves. I'm Jason, I'm the Dungeon Master. Going around the table, start with Tom. Hey everybody, I'm Tom and I play Yennen, Firestomp, a Minotaur lover. And Dan. Hi, I'm Dan, I play Duncan Joybatam, a dwarven bard. You can follow me on Twitter @duncanjoybatam. And Jake.

Hey, I'm Jake, aka Drakonas. I play a dragonborn fire mage and I'm ready to go. Got my socks on, got my bathrobe on. Let's do this. Swab as fuck. And Kelsey. That's all I have by the way, that's it by the way. That's all I need. Rude. No underwear whatsoever. Like, I would appreciate if you turned your webcam off honestly because you do not have a shirt. Yeah, we're sick of that shit, man. It's gross. It's motivating me. Like, we understand that you get discounts at Bojangles for it, but... Doesn't work here, doesn't fly here. It's Patreon content though, listeners can see Jake's balls if they just...

Well, do you want to lose this, little game then? Yeah, I don't know. We're appealing to a very exclusive... Kelsey. Hey, I'm Kelsey and I play Diana, a tiefling mage. And Delmar. Hi, I'm Hondo, I play Delmar in real life. Guys. I liked that. That was cute, you're cute. Keep it toody. Last time on the show, we had a vote to see who was going to run the Overwatch and it looks like Liara is going to be their queen, for lack of a better term. At least for the time being while they get their shit together. And Yenn were the interim queen. They're really trying to make this as smooth a transition for the city as possible.

And avoid all that rioting and fire that could be happening. You guys have done a lot to facilitate that. Actually, the little speech that Diana gave that helped quell things a bit. And then them having an actual position of power, someone in charge and moving forward. That is a great start. In the meantime, you guys set to work and doing what group one does very well and that's looting. They, Yennward and Draconis looted Castle Overwatch top to bottom. Walked away with a pretty pennies worth of decorative stuff. Gold, silver, all kinds of that stuff. Hondo on the other hand, went to seek information more than anything.

And really kind of hit the jackpot in the lower quarters of Castle Overwatch. Going through Loreweaver's laboratory and what they were doing. He found out that the Overwatch was working on something pretty nasty. In the form of a virus that can, that its intention is to kill anyone who isn't human. And it would work something like the clean slate that took out the warforged. Now, you have no idea how far along they were with this or how potent or powerful or effective it is at all. You don't know if it affects all races or just certain ones. You have no idea.

But, you do know that this is a bad thing in the hands of a very bad person. And that person is nowhere to be found. Hondo did find out that there is an escape tunnel that leads from the lower sections of the castle out somewhere. Now, Hondo didn't get very far in exploring that cavern, that little tunnel before a spike was shoved through his abdomen. So he decided to call off the search at that point and reconvene with the party. That's pretty much where we are now. So, I would imagine Hondo is relaying this information to the rest of the group and see where you guys go from there.

Actually, let's do a history check on Loreweaver himself. Either a history check or a streetwise. Alright, I got a pretty good history check. Oh, you got it? 33, and that makes sense. Diana would know about him. Yeah, that actually makes sense. So, okay, would you rather just have Diana relay this information to the rest of the party? Sure, yeah. Okay. So, Seacole Loreweaver was an archmage in Uminyaro. And he, alongside of Thermac were exiled from the city. They were considered to be power-hungry, sort of power-hungry madmen who only wanted to use magic for their own gain.

Now, they did reach the level of archmage before they were ejected from the city itself. And both of those individuals were pretty damn powerful. Anyone who reached the title of archmage is considered to be a very powerful wielder of magic and should not be taken lightly at all. The only other archmage you guys have met would be Elanin Duskwalker. That was back in, that was Winterhaven. That was the individual who gave Malkus the clean slate. So, these people are in control of some very powerful stuff. I would very much watch what you do. As Diana would know very well how powerful they can be.

Yeah, so, whatever this person is working on, they're quite knowledgeable. Loreweaver and Thermac were the two people who actually designed the original Warforge of Uminyaro. So, Ironhide was sort of designed in part by this person. So, the secondary Warforge that were designed in the Overwatch, the ones that are tied to the beacon, the ones that had no free will of their own, same principle, but their free will completely stripped away, completely tied to the beacon, the city itself. They were under control. So, again, this is my warning to you. Be careful.

That's it. That would be all that Diana knows about this person. Okay. I think we're set. We might as well just go ahead and go after him. I mean, it's already been at least a day or probably more, so I don't know how much luck we're going to have anyways, but might as well just head out. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Because again, I don't want to get fucked up in this place now. I have low light vision. I can see in the dark. Do you guys need torches? I have low light. Fucking potions, water, any of that shit. I actually have low light too. Hold on. I conjure fire, so I'm good.

Yeah. I think minotaurs have low light just because they're used to hanging out. They're labyrinthian, yeah. Yeah. And Ynward grew up in it. Yeah, that makes sense that Ynward would have low light. So, we can all see in the dark? So that's why he hasn't been able to see before. It's too bright. Who has the highest perception? I have more eyes, that's hilarious. Not me. More eyes. That's really funny. Because I'll be running Dungeoneering checks and somebody else should be running perception checks. I can run Arcana checks for magical traps, which since it's an archmage, we should be doing, let's see, perception.

Not me, not Jacroas. How does Jacroas have more? Duncan is plus nine, and now he's the same as Hondo. That's confusing. Yeah, no. Hondo has plus eleven. I think you're the highest. That's cool. Okay. So, I'm going to be running perception and Dungeoneering checks. Yep. Yeah? Cool. I got the Arcana covered. Lead the way. So, to be clear, Hondo's leading the way because he's been down here before. He knows at least where the first trap is. Yep. Okay. Can we skip that one since he's already done it? He knows exactly where it is and he'd be like, "Don't step there." Or he could be an asshole and be like, "All right, let's see." Can I go ahead and make an Arcana check?

Let me describe what's going on first and then yes, I'm going to have you do that. So, going back down into the basement of Castle Overwatch here and going through Loreweaver's laboratory and going past the safe. Hondo knows all about that. And you guys are going into this secret tunnel again. Now, partially through here, you're going to see where the first trap has been sprung and Hondo's blood is still very much covering the spike. So, I would imagine he would fill you in. It's like, "Yeah, don't get near that. That's a hazard." Don't speak for me. I'm...

I don't tell them. I'm joking. I knew it. I knew it. Don't touch my blood, guys. I have half. So, this tunnel is dark as hell. Now, half of the party has low light vision. I would imagine that you have torches, too. Well, let me see. Duncan's a dwarf. Yeah, so does he have it? So, I believe he has low light vision. Kenward's a minotaur, low light vision. Tiefling, low light vision. Drow definitely have low light vision. Draconis is the only one. Draconis is the only one left in the lurch here. I have dark vision, actually. I conjure fire, though, so I assume I can have my own torch.

Put your hands on my shoulders and I'll guide you. Let's not do a torch. Like we're going through a haunted house? Yeah. So, making your way through this dark, dark tunnel. This goes on for several hundred feet and there's some twists and turns. It seems to be sloping downward deeper. You would guess that you're leaving the city at this point. This goes on for a while. I'm going to ask that everyone go ahead and roll. You can check perception, you can roll arcana, you can roll dungeoneering. Whatever you'd like. But after a while you're going to start to get the sense that your progress has been unimpeded for a long time.

Thirty-three on arcana. Twenty-one on dungeoneering. I'm twenty-eight. Twenty-eight on dungeoneering. Let me have that, Delmar. Thirty in history. Twenty-six on arcana. What did you roll in history? These tunnels have been here for a very long time. Hey, you never know. You never know. Well, hold on a second. Hold on a sec. You never know. Let's talk about the history of these tunnels for just a moment. Sure. These tunnels, I don't know why Draconis would know this, but Draconis read about this somewhere. These tunnels were originally, there was a mayor a long time ago in Overdale.

Before Lucius Myrdian, the original, like the really obese mayor that you guys kind of killed, but not really. His eating habits killed him. He ate a lot of bacon pizzas. Probably. Lots and lots of sausages too. That's an inside joke, listeners. I love when our games have real life messages. Don't eat bacon pizza. Unless they're really tasty, guys. Hey man, I got your pizza. I'm in the alleyway. Come run back. So yeah, these tunnels were originally an escape route. A mayor a very long time ago, we're talking about 40 years ago or so, was exceedingly paranoid about riots.

And he was so paranoid that the city would turn against him one day. And he never really had a reason to. His approval was through the roof. Everyone loved him. But he had a real problem with paranoia in general. So he had this escape tunnel built for what he perceived to be the inevitable day the city itself rose as a single entity to kill him. What? Yep. Completely, just kind of completely batshit crazy. The guy eventually hung himself. You know how depressing an existence that is? It just basically got to him. He was the mayor for about 10 years. And the paranoia eventually got... he thought the city was trying to lull him into a false sense of security as a whole.

Everyone he met on the street, everyone that's like "Oh, we love you!" And he did a lot of great things for the city, but he just thought the reason he did a lot of the great things for the city was to placate people in order for them not to murder him. So it was this vicious cycle. The better he did for the city, the more they liked him. The more they liked him, the more he was absolutely convinced that they were going to rise up and murder him one day. Is this position cursed? Should we get Liara out of there before she also goes crazy? So these tunnels were built by this guy, and they actually lead out of the city.

Like clean out of the city, well beyond the walls. And very few people know about them. I do. Draconis does! I don't know why, but he does. And I'm telling you this whole story as we're walking by the way, so heads up on that. It seems like Draconis to know a lot of information about some random tunnel, but I'd expect that from him actually. So the other thing about these tunnels are that they are massively booby trapped. Because again, the guy was exceedingly paranoid and he memorized painstakingly where all of the traps are so that he could make his way very quickly through the tunnel and if anybody were to follow him, it would at the very least slow them down or hopefully kill them so that they couldn't continue the chase.

Does my dungeoneering or Yenwood's dungeoneering reveal any of this? Or arcana or magic stuff? One second, one second. Now, Kelsey, I'm sorry, Diana is not picking up any magical traps that are left. A lot of these are mechanical. There are a couple of wall-mounted crossbow setups. There are a few riggings where if you were, they're kind of around blind corners, so you would stumble around a blind corner and then think, think, think, dead. That's kind of how they're set up. So both Yenward and Hondo would pick up on that. It's like, wait a second, let's not charge around that corner just yet.

And they would kind of see that there are some pressure plates and some things. A couple more of the abdomen spike type setups too. Again, around a lot of corners and stuff like that. There's even a flame jet at one point. There is a massive pressure plate that is kind of obvious that unless you were to skirt it, you would get flambéed pretty easily here. Why is it so obvious? I'm just going to make this one trap really blatant. It's pretty obvious if you conceive pretty well in the dark. Oh, okay. Yeah, so for Hondo, it's like, yeah, don't step there. Like he has darker...

So for everyone except for Draconis. Basically, yeah. Draconis could have been murdered. We never know. It's okay. Would setting some of them off make it easier to maneuver around? Once you spot them, it's actually pretty easy to... Okay. Yeah. The dude made it so that if you knew where they were, you could get by really fast. Exactly. That's the entire point. So he can run full bore through this tunnel and he practiced often. He would just like... Please tell me that's how he died. Please. No, he hung himself. He absolutely took his own life. Yeah, what happens if he memorized all that and just hung himself?

Yeah, and told nobody about it. Not sad. Not sad. This dude had a mental illness and never got treated. That's really sad. You guys are going to see where the tunnel is lightening up a bit towards the end. And it would appear as though you're coming to the end of it. And this is after quite a long ways down here. It's taking you guys so long because you are not running through. You are very slowly making your way, kind of plodding through here. It's like, don't look out for that. Oh, and that one. Oh, there's another thing. Look out for that. So you are very slowly making your way through this tunnel and towards the end there is a small wall that looks to be kind of dug out of dirt for the most part.

And then there's some stone inset. And then there's one large stone door that looks really, really heavy. And that would appear to be the end of the tunnel. Okay. Since I'm at the front, I'll silently give a hand gesture to make the party stop and point it at Genwood and try and like, I don't know what that is. Do you want to do a dungeoneering first? I have an important question also. Do I see the hand gesture? Do I stop? Oh my god. Oh, you have a torch. Yeah, totally. Yeah. I didn't know if I missed it. No, no, no. Totally. You have a torch. It runs into the back of Genwood.

As Kelsey correctly pointed out, I'll run a perception check on the door. Okay. That's a... Yeah, use Hondo's system. What did Genwood see? Genwood sees a door. Genwood, what the fuck? Guys, I think it opens. We should try it. So, just before you get to the door, Hondo is going to see several small holes. Now, you wouldn't necessarily think at first glance that there's anything significant about them. They're just sort of, they look like almost cracks. But Hondo's going to peer a little bit more intensely through the darkness and see that this is another trap that was set up.

Kind of just at the finish line, before you get to the door, and they're sprinkled throughout the end of this hallway. They're easy to avoid if you know where they are and what they do. But if you were to just charge through, these are pressure plates that if you step through them, large sharp spikes are going to jut up from the ground and through your feet and legs and ankles. So we can avoid them, right? We can step over them. Absolutely avoid them, yes. I'm going to do that. Good thing you're here to look for stuff. Big strong door. Genwood, get up here, man.

It's all you. Alright, I'm going to tiptoe over the pressure plates. And I guess we'll do an athletics check on the door and try to shoulder it open. Okay. Boo. I rolled a 13, you guys. Merry Christmas. Oh my god. Did Una just come in here? Is that what happened? Okay, I'm going to roll an endurance roll, and I'm going to see if I shoulder pull. Wait, wait, wait. I did it. Okay, hold on. Don't get us this, don't get us this. I picture Donky comes up behind, and Pritik pushes on his haunches. So, Yenward is going to fling himself against this door. Oh my god. And this door is not going to budge, and then Duncan is going to slam into the back of Yenward's haunches, like the back of his legs, which is going to push Yenward, like squish him up against the door a bit more, and it's going to start to give way.

Here's the problem. Shit. At the base of the door. Oh, we forgot to put traps on the door, guys. Have fun with that. That's not what we were doing. Well, this is something that the Perception check did not pick up. There is a magical glyph at the base of the door. I forgot to do our community check. Well then, I was supposed to say, how did the 29 miss this? I should have done a History check. Yeah, it was really dumb on my part. You have one job, Kelsey. You have one job. You laughed at us, like we did something wrong. Oh, there wasn't any magic early on, therefore there weren't any tears.

No, it's okay. It's all right. I forgot about the DM's ass. It's all right. You can't go blind right now. You're hunting an Archmage. It's okay. Yenward saw it. Look at it. Look at that shining thing right there. He tries to pick it up. What's going to happen is, the second that Yenward crosses the threshold, lightning is going to start crackling, and then Duncan is going to charge in directly after that. Now, there is enough charge in this glyph to try to electrocute three members of this party. And because two of them are directly on top of the glyph, I'm going to choose one other one at random.

So, let's roll. I'm wearing something called Thunderhead Armor, and it says when I take lightning or thunder damage, all enemies within two squares of me take five damage at the same time. Fuck that door up. Well, there are no enemies. This is going to displace the thing for me. Wait, don't you have an axe that's like thunder and lightning embodied? Yes, but that doesn't protect him from the shotgun lightning. Come on, DM. It totally does. Well, hold on a second. It's like a lightning rod. Hold on a second. Hold on. Hold on. Let's find out who else in the party is going to get hit by this firstly.

I really hope Diana. I know. If it's me, I'll take it. I'm totally... Oh, me. Great. Duncan, we've already done that. Duncan, yeah. Double win. How you doing, boys? Dracunus. What the fuck? The only one that had nothing to do with this. Dracunus. Yeah, I didn't do anything wrong. Jesus. So this lightning is going to arc and sputter throughout this. It lights up this tunnel instantly. So I'm going to go ahead and roll an attack against each one of you. Oh, I feel so bad. Uh-huh. What is the attack? It's plus 16 versus reflex. Awesome. My reflex is really good, guys. Okay, Yenward first. 18 versus your reflex.

What? Oh, man. Duncan, 18 versus your reflex. This is me. I jump out of the way. Of course a crit. Oh, shit. Of course a crit. I knew I was going to get fucking critted. I knew it. I just got fucking crippled. Okay. 78 plus 15. I hope that's not dangerous. Sorry, sorry, sorry. 78? 78 plus 15. Plus 15 what? Plus 15. Like 78, like the number. Are we talking about distance? Are we talking about what? No, no. I'm talking about damage. 7d8 plus 15. Oh, Kelsey, why did you do that, man? That's 71 damage. Kelsey, awesome. Kill Jokonos. I'm not the only one who can run Arcana checks in the party.

That's not just me. But it's your job. It's your job. You're the magic lady. Yeah, you were the one who said, "I'll take care of the Arcana checks." I absolutely will take the plea for this. Okay, hold on. Hold on. I'm going to do a storm render versus Yenward. 42 damage versus Yenward. He didn't get hit, did he? Oh, he did get hit. Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did get hit. Duncan didn't get hit. Man, my armor don't do nothing. Well, what we're going to do is storm render is going to eat up 10 of this. So 32 damage. Can it eat up some of mine too? If you were carrying a weapon of the lightning god, then yes, that would be great.

Jokonos could have four hit points left. I can yell for him to throw it to me real quick. I know this is in combat, but is there any interrupts that could happen or no? No, not unless there was... This is something... Sorry, J. Sorry, Trapp, you missed. Sorry. Can I go invisible? That would help. Afterward, sure. Lightning damage can't touch me, son. So 32 damage to Yenward. 71 damage to Jokonos, which almost knocks him out. Like, this lightning is going to arc clean over... Yeah, I have four hit points now. Right, it's going to slam Jokonos, and I would imagine that is a great deal of pain that Jokonos is in.

Yeah, I literally... Jokonos is going to fall to the fucking ground, shitting himself. As soon as this happens, Diana is just going to kind of make an "oh fuck" face. Like, just like, "oh." Like, just like... Duncan... Go ahead. Duncan doesn't feel so bad about it because he did just get shot with fire by Jokonos about 15 minutes ago. Yeah, I just took 71 damage. Yeah, but I don't have... I don't get to see your hit points, okay? Well, you know that that's... Okay, you can see him visibly. He's hurt. You watched me shit myself. You shit yourself with a minor arc.

Yes. No, that is what... I fell to the ground and shit flew from my body. Aw, great. All over the side of the cave. That happened. But, uh, yeah. So... and I'm going to scream out... Well, I don't even know if I can talk because, actually, that 71 damage is a shitload. Well, you're not dead. You can talk. Yeah. Okay, go. Talk. No, I'm going to say right now, I can't... I'm like just shaking, convulsing. I can't do anything. I want to still be like facing the door and be like, "Did you feel that?" Like, my heart's like all weird and stuff. And I want to turn around and see Jokonos in the ground like, "Oh." You know what, that was bad.

Fuck that. I'll go over to Jokonos and I'll take... Oh no, he doesn't even have any potions. You son of a bitch. I'll use one of my potions because I ain't using no human spells yet. I was convinced not to buy any. I was convinced not to buy any. I'm going to dump one down your throat. Now I have two. I was convinced not to buy any, though, so... Can we close the door possibly and take a short rest? Yeah, can we just sleep here in the cave? Can we make camp here? I don't mean sleep, but I mean like let him take some healing surges and... We're not in battle, so...

Can I roll another Arcana check right now just to be safe? Oh. Now you want to roll another? Shit. I'm going to be doing it like every five feet now, okay? Hey guys, there's something up with the door. That's what the Arcana check's going to say, okay? Yeah. What's with the 34? You'll be struck by lightning if you try to open the door. Diana's gonna... As a result, Diana's going to look around... And realize that there is a very powerful glyph on the floor in front of the door. No, really. Thank you for that. Oh, don't yell at me. I'm not. That was not meant to be.

Does she say that out loud to us? No. Yeah. I would imagine... I'm talking to myself, though. I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say it. She's just... So you're not going to share the information? If she finds out any new information, okay, yes, you just got shocked by a glyph. She's not going to state the obvious. So the group's taking a short rest. Yes. Yep. After the lightning strike thing, it's like, okay, hold on. Yeah. Okay. Short rest and you have spent surges. You're all caught up. I've cleaned myself. Would you like to go through this door? Yep. Let's roll some more checks.

I mean... Yeah. Just... Might as well. I almost died from it. I might as well go in there. Wait. That is not happening to me again. Recon check. You guys need me to do an recon check? I can do one. Okay, I don't see any more glyphs, guys. I think we're clear. I got a 30 on my face. Well, Yennward's not picking up anything magical. Totally safe, guys. That was the last one. But neither is Diana. Like, that would appear to be the only magical trash. You're a little piece of square. Were you asking the cave? I lied. There's glyphs everywhere I lied. Okay. Let's see. Arcana, Dungeoneering, Dome.

Okay, so, uh, Hondo's Dungeoneering is not picking up any more traps. This would appear that you are good to go. Like, you're not picking up anything else. That appeared to be the last hurdle. And then we step into the room and we all die. Because I'm Jason and fuck you. And trap door death. You know... You can blame me for a lot of things on this show. That last one was not my fault. That was Kelsey White's fault. True. I'm taking the blame for that. I'm fine. That was my mistake. No big deal. All good. We all make mistakes. Pushing this door open. You're going to find that you're in the interior of a small mausoleum.

So, placement wise... I don't like this. I like it. You're in the back. This would look to be a fake wall. That the door opens up from the other side. And walking inside, this is just a pitch black mausoleum. There are... There would appear to be bodies buried in here. That have not been disturbed in quite a long time. Because we are... Oh my god, I just got disconnected from the table. Wait, no. Okay, maybe not. Anyway, sorry, apologies. Because we are in a mausoleum, and they're dead bodies, I would like to roll a religion check to see if they're buried in a certain kind of way.

I just did Arcana and History for the place. I don't know if that... Wow, well you know what? I'm just not going to do any fucking rolls. I'm just going to sit right here and shut up then. All three of those are like my best rolls. All three. We can roll too. I got bad rolls. Wait, can we? Yeah, there's nothing stopping you. I thought once you roll once, nobody else can roll for that certain category. Well, it depends. If you're the one charging ahead and saying "I'm going to roll that", like what the party is doing is... Picture, okay, in real life, like one of your friends is calling out directions like "Oh, I know the way to this restaurant, I'm going to say..." And then someone else goes "I really know the way." What you're doing is saying "Fuck that guy, he's an idiot.

I know the way." Okay, I'm going to do that. No, no, after I'm saying it. Alright, I don't... Delmar, I didn't see where you rolled it. Um, because the table's saying that, I'm not connected. So I'm just going to leave the table and come back. Oh good. I rolled a 32 religion, 31 history, 22 arcana. Okay, take his religion. Take his religion. No, you're not even religious, you son of a bitch. Hey, you don't know what I am. Hold on, hold on. Usually pick one, don't just roll every check in your arsenal. Sorry, sorry. Sorry. I'll just take... Well, that was my highest, I guess I'll just take the highest.

We'll take your religion check. So Draconis is going to... Draconis is going to look around and it appears as though these people in particular were... This family were followers of a monitor. So they've... They've been arranged in the style. There's nothing other than that that really stands out. These people have been undisturbed for many, many years. They're all sealed away in caskets. They're not like splayed out in the mausoleum. Let's remove the coffin, guys. You could grave rob. I feel like we should do that on the way back because I just, I don't...

I don't know. I mean, if they're baited for a monitor, these are probably not undead. But, you know, like it's just... Can I finger poke a body and see what happens? I ran an arc. You want to open a casket and finger poke a body? I ran an arcana check. And it was a 26. Okay. You're not appearing... It doesn't appear as though there are any magical booby traps. Nothing has been done within the mausoleum that you can pick up. Ynward is going to open, like crack open one of these caskets. And you just want to poke one of these bodies? Yeah, just like real quick and recoil like I'm expecting it to jump up at me.

These are pretty much... These are just skeletal figures with long hair. These have been here for a while. And Ynward is going to poke one of the faces, or one of the skulls. And the skull is going to roll over on its own neck and just sort of a crinkly sound. And then nothing. Okay. So it was just a natural like reaction to the forest sort of thing, like not... Did Kelsey learn anything? I mean, did Diana learn anything with her history? There's nothing really famous about this family of note. They have long hair apparently. Long hair don't care. They were fairly well off in the city there.

That's the best you would know because they can afford a mausoleum like this. Their family was well off. That's pretty much all you're gathering though. They didn't really have any political ties. They weren't famous for any reason. Okay. So shall we continue? I feel like if when we survive the encounter, then we can come back and loot. But this is kind of times of the essence sort of thing. Yeah. Can I just say hello? Like have an echo throughout the mausoleum? Sure. All right. I'm going to do that. Draconis is just going to let out a little "Hello!" Hello. Why are you making him know we're here?

Who? I know, right? He's probably long gone right now. We don't know he's here. This is a pretty small mausoleum. This isn't a huge expansion. This isn't like a warehouse full of dead bodies. This is... Okay. Yeah. But it is large enough and it's stone. So it is large enough to have a bit of echo. A little reverberation. Okay. The party's going to notice that the door out is just a crack open. It would appear as though someone has went through there fairly recently. And light is pouring in from the other side. Can we look around real quick and see if there's anything that might help us?

Like just a quick glance over any... Roll the perception. Okay. I am great at perception. And I rolled a 17. Nailed it. There is a torch on the side of the wall next to the door that someone could light. If they wanted to sort of look around. Usually for a caretaker or something like that. But other than that there is a lot of sealed caskets, a lot of cobwebs, a lot of dead bodies. But other than that it doesn't appear as though there's anything of use to the party. Duncan goes, "A torch!" and he points at it. Really excited about it. Like he found something very special.

Nobody? Nobody reacts? Okay. Duncan puts his hand back down and quietly moves forward. Sorry guys. We don't need a torch. Everyone except for Draconis doesn't need a torch so we're okay. Draconis is a torch. Yeah. Human torch. I'm going to roll an arcade to check on the door specifically and the floor in front of it. And just the door-ish area. Yeah. The 22. Not good. Diane is not picking up any new glyphs or anything like that. Like every five feet. I'm going to look at her and be like, "Is it clear?" Yeah. Duncan kind of pushes her out of the way and goes, "Sorry if I don't trust your judgment but I'm going to take a look for myself." Oh no, she's fine with that.

Duncan is not picking up any glyphs, any magical traps like the one that you encountered a few moments ago. Okay. Do we want to run a Dungeoneering check on this? Don't dunk it either. This is going to be a fun episode to both edit and listen to. Does anybody have a... Do we want to check the door for traps, anybody? I'm not very good at that but I know some of you are. But Ynward's going to walk up and open it. I'd like to barge through it. Okay. Opening the door, Ynward is going to see that you guys are in the middle of an extremely large graveyard, a cemetery.

Charming. On the outskirts there are rolling hills that turn into mountains and outside of that you have the option of either spilling west and going toward the evergreen. Or east and head back towards the city. North would lead you towards this mountain area that then opens up into White Wolf Valley. Guys, it's really spooky out here. Okay, so I guess we walk out and follow Ynward. Does anybody see any sign of tracks or anything that we could follow? I would love to run a nature check but unfortunately I got kicked out of the table. Don't worry, I got you.

I'll roll it for you. No, don't... I have a plus eight. I have a plus eight. It's not bad. I have a plus nine. Yeah, it's not bad. It's okay. I'm gonna just... I'm gonna do that. That's a crit on the arcana. It matters. Okay. Ynward is going to see that someone has made their way through here. There's a bit of mud. Thanks to the rain that was recently left. A lot of portions of the cemetery are sort of muddy and damp. And there is a set of footprints that are leading out of the cemetery. That would be in a northerly direction. Hey, good job Ynward. Thank you. Patch on the back.

I've deduced that we should follow these footprints. Ynward's never led us astray before, guys. Let's go. I think I'm onto something. Diana's not picking up any traps or anything. What about the footprints? There's nothing magical about the footprints per se. But there is a bit of a magical aura. And just because you've got a crit... An expenditure of power to make that glyph... There is a way to track that afterwards for a brief time. Afterward, the person or persons that it would take to produce something of that quality. The damage output from that was ridiculous.

Could have absolutely murdered one of you. Almost did. So the logical conclusion to jump to would be that those are Lory's footprints. And also, would it also be logical to conclude that it wasn't too long since he's been past here? You said it was pretty recent. Pretty recent in that this would be within a 48 hour period. Oh, okay. That's something. We have a start. So he's going north. What's in that direction? North. Well, again, this is the thing. North would lead towards... There is a small section of a mountainous region near the Evergreen. And that opens up into White Wolf Valley.

And then from White Wolf Valley, he could pretty much go anywhere. I mean, Durnhile, Albury, Winterhaven, Ebony Harbor. Those would be the place. It depends on how long you follow those tracks. Unless anybody has a problem with it, I think we should probably follow the tracks as fast as possible. Since he's already... Sounds good. Yeah, might as well. Alright. This is going to take you through the cemetery and lead you out. And there is a mountainous region near the Evergreen. And that is going to take you through that. Now, here's what's going to happen. I'm going to go ahead and roll this dice.

This 20 sided die. And we're going to discuss the result afterward. Uh oh. Hmm, okay. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. That's a 9. Oh god, not a 9. Yeah, 9 is the best though. I don't know if it's a 3 lower high. That means we get 9 attempts, 9 continues on this battle. 9 continues? I put in the Konami code, we're good guys. Yep. Got it. Alright. Something. Alright, if all of you would place your characters out of the forest, two massive figures are going to start to emerge. I don't like massive figures. How massive are they, Vany? They're girthy. Are they girthy?

I was just about to say. A man after my own heart. What? Okay, that is not... How many tentacles do they have? Gross looking. What is that? It's an ogre! Okay, it's not just an ogre guys, it's an ogre juggernaut. And that is absolutely the grossest token I've ever seen. Oh my gosh, why? Why? He has like Nickelodeon cartoons. Okay, can we please hurry up and kill these things so that I don't have to look at them anymore? That's like the nicest looking ogre I've ever seen. I want to run away from them. We have to kill them with Nickelodeon gak. These look so stupid, I think wisdom might be their lowest.

So are we doing initiative? Let's try to outsmart them like Clobnok. The only thing that can hurt them is a piece of the aggro crag. That's the only thing that can... Oh shit! I love the aggro crag. Hey guys, do you want to try to diplomasize with them? Or what? I'll think the first thing I'll do is run on nature check to see any weaknesses before we jump into this battle. Please do. That's a good idea. Look at me being responsible. I like it. Go run that nature check. Oh, did I not roll initiative yet? Oh, we're not doing that yet. There we go. 22. Well, Honda would know that of the things that could attack you near wooded areas and mountainous regions, both of which you are near, ogres are some of the worst.

They're huge, strong, and their intelligence is so low that they pretty much just attack anything that gets near them. No. They will constantly eat pretty much anything that is smaller than them. They're vicious carnivores that would, if they get near you, bite you clean in half. If they can scoop you up, yes, they have been known to scoop travelers up, bite them clean in half like a candy bar. So don't let them do that. Can we keep one as a pet? But most of my action hit. I don't think so. I don't want one of these as pets because I'm going to have to keep looking at this token.

So please know, can we not? Was that a high enough check that we can keep one of them as a pet? No. We can't keep it as a pet? This is not like the Drake. Can we skirt around them? I don't want to fight these. Yeah, how fast are they? Did he find that out in the check? They're not what you would call swift, but at the same time, one of their steps is like two of yours. Yeah, they got a long stride. I think they'll be okay. They're not very smart. I say we beat them until Kelsey can get one of them to beat the other one up. Yeah, that's exactly because if they're not very smart, most of my attacks will probably hit.

Right. Okay. I say, Jaconis, if you have some AOEs, keep the one at the back at the back so we can focus fire on one of them. I'm going to try and shift the forward one back depending on how initiative goes. Do you remember when we start fighting, are they easily distracted by shiny stuff? It depends on the ogre. They're individualists. Sometimes one will be a little more focused than the other one. They have goals. They're individuals, guys. Yeah, I mean, not all ogres. They have buns and beans. Can I try something? Yeah. I want to take some of my Carter trinkets and just kind of like chuck them to...

Chuck away your money? It's better than chucking away my upper half. I'm just going to chuck a couple little shiny stuff to the west and just see what happens. Okay. If they've already seen us. Yeah. Do me a favor, roll an athletics check to see how well you chuck. Sure. I'm a pretty good chucker. We'll find out. Another chucker, yeah. 16. Well, Yennward's going to take a few shiny objects in his hand and whip these out into the field. Well, because he took a few of them, it's not going to be as accurate as if he would have taken one object, like let's say the crown, and just whipped that into the field.

Of course not. It's going to kind of shotgun spray and a few of these objects are going to land in the field and the ogre in the back is going to immediately, like the sun's going to catch some of this and the ogre's like, "Ooh." Like he's going to look over. Like, "What was that?" The second ogre is going to get pelted in the face with a couple of objects. And he is going to reach for a fairly large rock and wrap his giant mitt around it and whip it at Yennward. So let's see what this does here. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. It's all right.

Athletics check. This is going to be good. You're good at this. That is a crit one. That is a crit miss. Nice. This big rock is going to fly just past Yennward's head. It's going to part his hair, essentially, like just whip right past him. But you're getting the sense that that could have fucked you up if it hit you. So it doesn't hit me, though, right? Doesn't hit anybody. It just whips past. Here's a question. Can I use my newly found weapon of cord that I have? It's not in my inventory. What newly found weapon of cord? Oh, God. I took I took Una's weapon. You took OK.

Yes, you took fake hammer. Yes. Yes, you did. Yes. I don't know what's fake. Can I try telling him that I'm sorry? You should. I at this point would ask everybody to roll initiative like he is pissed. Like you take you take you take some something that would already attack you and then hit it in the face. He's he's going to attack you extra hard. But the the ogre up top is going to take a negative two to his initiative because he is slightly distracted. Slings. The code is going to go away. No, I think I'm like, oh, my God. So what are the stats on fake hammer?

How do we know? We can put that down. Firstly, you would know it's a fake hammer because you knew there were clones. Secondly, no, I didn't know there were clones. Diana never told us they were clones. She was the only one that they're perceptive. But I always use the hammer. There were clones. Leora said openly in combat. It's like, yeah, they're not. I don't remember. It was a while ago. Oh, my gosh. That one. OK, if we are. That's fine. I was under the impression that he was still thinking they were. I mean, you can you can play it that way if you like. But it was pretty much announced that they're obviously clones.

And that's why Leora wasn't broken up over it. Like, OK, I like how the one over got a negative two and he's still going third. Yeah. Ogre juggernaut number two. He is going to. All right. He is going to sweep down to Yenward. Oh, he's going to use something called juggernaut push. Sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's a crit. Hold on. Hold on. Hold the fucking phone. I believe I can use immediate interrupts called reversal of fortune. Trigger, are you are you within five squares of me? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Henry Dies for. Oh, no, wait, you know what?

I don't think this actually stops anything. I think I just kind of hit him. An enemy within five squares of you hits your ally adjacent to it, which he did. And the trigger, the target enemy. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Wisdom versus food. Oh, yeah. I just get to hear him. Fuck it. It's not worth it, mate. Oh, my gosh. Well, you know, go ahead and do it if you get to hit him. At least it's something all of my daily or what is like hearts. People take is an encounter power. OK. Yes. Do it. All right. I haven't me interrupted, but it doesn't stop him from hitting me.

It just gives me a plus four power bonus to my students in my next turn. Well, OK, let me tell you what's going to happen and then we can and we can move on. What is this? OK, hold on a second. What is this? If it dies, I quit immediately after we get into this. Maybe it's to what does we riot. That's the. We just hear something like this out in a field just by an ogre. Like, can you imagine what then again, if most of our problems go to. It's not funny. You died. I was going to say, if when when my reversal fortune does hit, though, you can use a healing surge and get yourself back up because he's going to.

Oh, nice. OK, well, that's that's assuming he doesn't go twice. OK, well, I'm sure he'll tell you what's going to happen before we get. OK. All right. The ogre is going to move to Yenward and crit, and he is going to kick Yenward in the chest and knock him back and Yenward is prone. Then the ogre is going to shift forward one square. This is like the other thing than the other group. He's going to rear his leg back and fucking punt Yenward eight squares. That's hilarious. I'm so sorry. Hey, Dracodas, remember that teleportation thing you have? This might be a good time to use it.

Are you stuck in a tree? He is going to Yenward is going to be kicked clean across this field and slammed into a tree. Now, here's the thing. Yenward is going to take one D 12 damage for each space he was just kicked, which is eight. But since it's a crit, he's taking 12 damage for each space he was just kicked. It could be worse, guys. It could be a lot worse than that. At least Yenward has like a million health. That's still that's ninety six down, doesn't it? That's ninety six. No, he's not down. Ninety six damage and he's prone. Oh, my gosh. And he's not within five squares of Delmar anymore.

It was no, but the first the first. Yeah, no, no, no. It's an immediate reaction. And the first the first attack that he rolled, he wasn't five squares. So I would assume that should count. That counts. That's up to the DM. Does it count? Hey, guys, new plan. Let's run. That's what I got. Let's fry. I think that's a fantastic plan. I mean, I would love to do that. I don't think we can. But I think it's a little too late for that. Of course, running is an option. We just never use it. You are one. We don't run. But if we run, our fucking tank just got hit for ninety six damage.

That was anyone else. That was anyone else. Well, imagine. OK, imagine if we run. We leave Yenward to get eaten by the they're going to go straight for him. Like imagine in real life, you've watched Yenward take on countless, countless giant robots and stuff like that. He's always at the forefront. This ogre just slammed him in the chest and feel goal, punted him across like just just feel goal, kicked him clean across this field. And Yenward is fucked up like that is that both is me. That doesn't that doesn't impede my position. Both of us are party member.

Like, are we going to just leave him there to die? No, no group two. When I use that healing surge now, don't worry. Yeah, sorry. OK, let me just roll the attack and then use the healing. So I think even if you have six potions, I know I'm going to use like two of them. Next turn. All of them. And if we if I can get them to start fighting each other, hopefully, please let that work. I don't know. Motherfucker. I don't want any of this to burst your code is now. Yeah, it's not going well. It's not a good day for us. Dad is going to miss. Yeah. Twenty five versus four, you'd missed.

So, yeah, you don't get the healing surge, unfortunately. This ogre is going to pop an action point. Are you serious? And he is going to use scoop and swing. Now, what this is, is he is going to reach. He's going to throw. He is going to reach forward and try and grab Draconis. Yeah, because group three just fought an ogre. That's what they were fighting. That's why that's the same attack. OK. Yeah. Yeah. And fire on his hands with his other hand. He's going to he's got this this big tree log and he is going to go ahead and swing at Duncan. So batter up. Let's see.

You have to swing to grab me. Yes. He's doing that right now. So this is 20, 20. Plus 15 versus your reflex. That is 29 versus your reflex. Yeah. OK, so you are grabbed. And then he is going to swing this great club at Duncan. He's going to bite Draconis like it's smaller. Twenty seven versus. Yeah. Twenty seven damage versus Duncan. And Draconis is grabbed by this by this juggernaut. Draconis, your turn. OK. OK, never mind. Go. OK. OK. I did not anticipate this. So that kind of fucks up my plans on what to do. Do I have to roll anything to like get out of his grasp?

Yes, you can. You can roll. I have to do that before I like do a move. Right. I could be like blow fire to see. You can. Well, you could still attack and everything, too. You just can't move. You're basically immobilized. You can still attack and everything, though. All right. Well, I'm going to try to get out first and then attack. Is that possible? Or does that count as my action? Let me look it up really quickly. I'm that I think that's something you could do at the end of your move. I'm not sure. Let me check it out, because I definitely want to attack them, but I don't want to fucking piss them off and then have them bite my head off.

But you might blow fire in his face. He might let you go. That's that's what I'm hoping for. Let's see here. You are grab. So it's escape the grab. It's acrobatics versus reflex or athletics versus fortitude. And you can shift on a success. So that is at the end of your turn, I believe. At the end of my turn. OK, well, let's see. Hold on. One, two, three, four, five. I can't get the other guy, but. All right. I am going to I'm going to cast Burning Hands. I'm going to try to like I'm going to try to grab this dude's fucking nose. I like my hands on fire. I try to grab this bitch's nose.

OK, so I hope he snorts boogies all over you. Here we go. Can you roll for boogies, Jason? OK, that's what I'm trying to do. Try to click him. Yep. And this twenty three. Twenty three. OK, well, I do do half damage, so I still I still get them a little bit. His nose hair is catching fire. Doo doo. Why is everything's I'm clicking it? It's not because the table knows we're done with it. Like it's done. There we go. Eight damage. Yeah. So how so how pissed off did that make him? Well, I just burned his nose hairs. He's definitely going to be doing something with you on his next turn, because, oh, boy.

Oh, good. So now I have to roll to get out the first. Yeah, I can do that. All right. So which one am I actually rolling for? So you are doing acrobatics. You can roll an you can roll an acrobatics check. Yes. Or an athletics. OK, I'm going acrobatics. I got plus seven for that. OK, that's going to be nine. Not good. Not. Oh, God. That's a two. So number two, use tasty morsels. Draconis is going to reach out and burn this ogre's face and the ogre is just going to just kind of like rear back a little bit. And then Draconis is going to helplessly wriggle like an infant in this in this ogre's giant mitt and futilely try and escape and no dice.

Well, that's it. Ogre number one. I already know what's going to happen. Hey, just put me into a tree, too. I'll take that. Let's see. Ogre number one is going to use. I can just killed Carter and we're going to get fucked by a couple of ogres. Right. God. Well, sometimes you destroy all of House Dark's Bane and a fucking troll takes you out like, hey, Jason, can you look up what bloody determination does for me? I sure can. OK, because mine doesn't have a description. That's OK. Also, we might have to look at. Oh, yeah. So say, Ryan, do you cheese it? Everyone.

I would have loved to have done that, but I got grabbed. This ogre is going to shift forward one, pop an action point and use juggernaut push on Diana. Oh, no. Oh, be careful. I'll try to kick you. Oh, no. At least you don't have a tree you're going to fly. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No, the only thing the only things I have are not against for shield. What the shield do is it? I think it's a it's that's a reflex, of course. Damn it. Yeah, the only time I have other interrupts, but they don't stop and attack. It's not a crit. Yeah, that's yeah. Crit would have killed you.

Yeah. Yeah, it would have. OK. This ogre is going to kick Diana square in the abdomen and knock her back one square and prone. Then the ogre is going to shift forward one and kick her eight spaces. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One and let's roll. Is she off the map? Not quite. OK. The good thing is, I guess, is an easy place to run away from. Yeah, you're already halfway gone. Thirty seven damage to Diana. OK, OK. If they punch everybody. I'm going to use the thing that's infernal wrath and me within ten scores of you hits you, which the first one that was it.

So it's going to take on two D six plus whatever my intelligent modifier is. The two D six plus six fire damage. And I don't have the option to roll for that. So you could two D six plus. Yeah, just roll manually and I'll do four, five, six, 15, 15 damage fired. Something got so Diana's bloody. Hondo, go right ahead. Are we booking it? Are we booking it? At this point, it's pretty much like you and me the only ones who can get out of here. Oh, man. I'm so conflicted right now because if I had if I had a certain staff, I could do a lot a lot better healing.

That's not even part of real quick as part of role play. Duncan looks back at Hondo and says, if you're going to heal anybody, heal her. I got you in word. No, but you don't because you're going to be stuck in between these two guys. I have the best of my healing will reach inward from here. So if you, you know, need to do OK, here, here's my plan. I'm going to back up. I'm going to run away. No, no, no. I'm going to back. I'm going to attack and then back up further just in case. And I suggest you probably do the same because if all else fails, at least some of us get out alive.

Like at this point, this point, I like this plan. I love this plan, actually. Hey, man. You see, I was both of us are both of us arranged characters anyways. God, this is going to crack so fast. I had so many friends. OK, Jonas, what's your what's your health right now? I'm at sixty nine health. Oh, I came into this fight with damage still. You're grabbed or you're grabbed. So I am not much I can do for you. My healing is our reach. Hello, for sure. I could use your shot. What is that? It's a definite hit, basically. I'm just going to back the fuck up. Because, you know, one, don't worry, my really, really, really, really far one.

I don't need heels. I need to get the hell out of his hand. Three. Do I have to be bloody to do that? All right. I will make number one my quarry and then I will use a daily. Oh, man, we're going to fight an archmage. This is going to be so fun. Oh, you don't think we can fight an archmage? We might not. If we make it out alive, we're going to have to take an extended rest. There's no way. Also, obviously, the archmage fight would probably be easier than this. I'm not camping outside. I'm not. I'm not. Oh, my gosh. You're right. OK, so we go back to the place with the graves, the cemetery.

We go back there and we take an extended rest. But that's a long way off. Right now we have to live. Let's deal with this shit first. We start talking a little bit. Yeah, let's run away while Duncan's sandwiched between two ogres. Let's talk about running away. I think that should be the ultimate plan, that we're not going to win this. Honestly, I don't want to leave you, but Diana is seeing you guys get beat up. You're going to be dead no matter what. She's going to try and attack and she's getting the hell out of there. I'm sorry. All right, so that's OK.

Honda's going to miss. Wait, I can attack again. OK. I thought Sure Shot was a sure hit. No, it's two. My bad. I apologize. It's basically two chances, but I have to use the second roll. Still missed anyway. Jesus Christ. That's a move. As a minor, what can I do to help? I'm so sorry. You guys are so dead. Jason, if you kill off Dakota's Duncan and Yenra, do you know how much shit you're going to get? Hey, it's the world. I'm sorry. Just letting you know that that's going to happen. You deserve it. Wait till you hear the front door way. That's why it's going to happen.

I was going to say, fans, would you let us die? I think what are we supposed to do? I think good plan B for Diana. Try to get control of one of them and everyone start to position themselves. I'm going to do that and hopefully it'll work and you guys will live. But like there's no if that doesn't work, there's nothing else I can do. We're going to we're going to get through this, guys. Deep breath. Yeah. Are we are we really one way or the other? OK, I'm done, I guess. All righty. Diana, your turn. OK, so since I'm prone, so OK, how many things do I get of standard action and then a minor?

Then for my move action. OK, so my move action going to stand up. I'm just going to go ahead and get that out of the way. So Diana has been knocked into the mud here and she's going to sort of dust herself up a little bit and stand back up. I imagine she's in a bit of pain. Yeah, she's not too happy right now. How far away are they? These eight squares. OK, but the other one's in range. OK, so the first thing I'm going to do is use charm of the defender on number one. Let's roll that attack. OK, it's going to hit. OK, so I just like to go I slide the target up to three squares.

OK, you just put them as far back next to number two. Somehow. So one, two. Can you kind of like put them like diagonally that way? I don't think it'd reach. Yeah. OK, and it is immobilized until the end of my next turn. OK. And also until my next terminal enemy starts, it's turned adjacent to that target. So that'd be number two. The target makes a mainly basic attack against the enemy as a free action. So one is going to make an attack against two. Yeah, when two starts next turn and it's one is going to get a power bonus to the to the roll and a damage and the damage will equal to my implements enhancement bonus, whatever that is.

OK, so totally OK. And then OK, so that's one thing. And then I'm going to pop my action points. That down to zero and then I'm going to use sleep. So that's an area of first two within 20 squares. So let's see how I think like that. Is that a first to you? Yeah, that'll do it. OK, as long as it gets them both. OK, so needs to intelligence versus will. So let's go ahead. Can I select both or do I have to do them individually? One at a time. OK, it's going to hit. OK, so the the first hit the target is slowed. That's safe. And in the first and the so sorry. What I'm laughing at you because you're stuttering.

Shut up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. No, no, no. Don't apologize. She's laughed every time somebody has gotten hit. So don't apologize for that. OK, laughter is funny. That's that's laughter. It was it was it was a mean surface. Laughter is going. I know neither. There was his. So that was I was making fun of him. And then at the first failed saving their their unconscious instead of slowed. OK, so right now they're both slow. OK. Yeah. And then can I drink a potion as a minor? Is that the thing? You sure can. I like to use a little bit. Oh, good. I'm fine.

That'll bring you back up. OK. OK. Duncan, your turn. OK. First off, Jason, I asked a while ago, but I never got back. Can you give me the thing for Balazanami King? I can't find it in my documents right now. Thank you. While you're doing that, though, I'll use my minor. I'm going to do majestic word. Use it on yin word. I can do that within 10 spaces. So and he gets plus he gets to D6 plus my charisma modifier, which is five. So I will roll that to D6 plus five. I thought I wrote it. No, I wrote it. 13. So you get a healing surge plus 13 on top of it. Oh, OK. So so you're looking OK now.

Oh, it's going to be my turn next. And I'm going to use like two surges and a potion. Balazanami King versus will burst to each enemy in the burst. One D8 plus charisma modifier, psychic damage, and the target takes a negative two penalty to attack rolls until the end of your next turn. So I'd be attacking both of them to OK, then I will use that. It's perfect. That's not that's not like something I should use. So attack targets to or to talk. Yeah, there we go. OK. And roll. That's a hit on one and roll and that's a hit on two. It's a crit. That's a crit on two, by the way.

So how do I do? Do you crit automatically or how do I? No, you got to do that here. 13 damage. It's not a lot of damage. Yeah, but still every bit. And then the damage on you. Yeah. OK. Oh, wow. 13 on both. You got max damage anyways. So and then they take a negative two. Negative two to attack rolls. Yep. OK. And I'm just going to shift right here. And we're in inward. Your turn. That shot loosened his grip at all. Nope. Damn it. So my turn is all about being selfish. So I'm going to use my move action to stand up, please. OK. OK. And for my standard action, I'd like to use something called Mighty Surge.

And I can spend a healing surge and I also gain a plus two power bonus to all defenses, a plus one power bonus to attack rolls since the end of my next turn. Nice. And until the end of the next into the end of the encounter, each time you spend a healing surge, you gain a plus two power bonus to all defenses and a plus one power bonus to attack rolls until the end of your next turn. OK. That puts you back up to 73 health. OK. And for my minor action, I'd like to take one of those potions, please. OK. Roll two to eight, please. Sure. Boop boop. Ten. OK. I believe my potions let me spend a healing surge, though.

You get that plus a healing surge. Oh, oh, I'm back up. OK. So then if you because you spend a healing surge, don't you get more power bonus because of how that you just used? Yep. All right. Charge them. The end would charge them. You all done, sir? I was going to pop an action point and run, but no. OK. But it let it go. OK. Number two is turn over. Number one is going to take a swing at him as a result of him having a turn that'll hit. Nice. Thirty four damage. Oh, yes. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What did you do? The the ogre one hit over two because over one is.

Does it matter if ogre twos first in order? No, no, no. That's that's why because he's starting his turn next to ogre one. That's the only reason. Oh, sweet. Yeah. Well, ogre one. OK. Ogre two is going to. As a result, he is going to punch ogre one in the face. Yes. Using the hands that he's gripping draconian. I just want to know. Oh, no. And you know, the punch is always stronger when you're holding something to. Does your code as a weapon now? He does. Should I do that's a crappy weapon. He's a terrible weapon. Plus fire damage right there. He's got. So he's going to take a swing at this at this other ogre and miss completely just out of frustration as a reaction.

I want to be screaming the whole time like the fist is like swinging to. Yeah, of course. But as so as as he's wrapping that up, that's more out of first. It's like, hey, fucker, like that kind of thing. Just get off because them hitting each other. They do that all the time. They're like like ogres are like like big and little brothers getting along with each other. They just beat the shit out of each other. They're really dumb creatures and they just fistfight all the time. They're like Massey's. Oh, that's. And then after he's wrapped this up, this over is going to try and take a bite out of Draconis.

Oh, no. I would not. Why would you not? Can I throw something shiny? That's everything to do. Why not? You shouldn't have eaten all that. But what the Bojangles you should have there that missed. No, you just leave me here to die. Fuck me. Forty four damage to Draconis. OK, that's not what did he just do? What is that now? You know, it's just automatic. Well, no, he he he bit you. And that was. Yeah, he bit you. OK, well, here, how about this? Can I use my my robe here? Uses power while you are bloodied and when attack damages you. Sure. Teleport six squares and you can spend a healing surge.

Wait a second. Wait a second. Is that a result? Hold on a sec. Let me read that. Just just the wording. It's an immediate reaction action. Cloak of displacement at the start of each encounter. You get a plus the robe. Oh, the robe. OK, my bad. Robe of. Oh, hold on a second. Use this power while you are bloodied and when an attack damage you. You weren't bloodied when the attack damaged you, though. You're bloodied now after the attack. Well, then how about I. There's no point in me really doing my cloak of dismember displacement because he he just has to reroll.

But his he got plus 19. So that's already fucking good enough. All right. Well, fuck it. OK. Yeah. Great. This ogre is going to shift over one and pop his second action point. We got two action points. What? Wait. Can I have another action point? You guys like over. So he is going to let's say, oh, you're going to have to shift with him. Traconis, of course, I would. Yeah. Yeah. So he's either going to bite Draconis again or throw a rock. I think you should throw a rock. Let's roll a D 20 to see which one he's going to do. Oh, he's going to bite Draconis again. Oh, good.

Well, it was good knowing you guys. I appreciate all the time I spent on the show that is going to hit Draconis. It was nice knowing you, bro. Well, how about I do my thing now? Now I can use my phone. Oh, you can now you can use your thing. Now I can teleport since I am bloodied. I can teleport six squares and spend a healing surge and enhancement. Now I have plus two AC to my AC. Crap. Can someone move them or move me or something? If they fail their saving throws and they're going to get a negative to that, then they're both going to be asleep. Ogre saved against that.

And now he gets a minus two or no, a minus seven, actually, because it's a because I've spoken to said, Mr. Crap. Have you have you been taking a negative two for their. Yes, I have. OK, good. Minus two against all of my against saves against all my spells and minus five against charm spells, which sleep is one of them. So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Back up for the saving throw. He just rolled. Yeah. All saving those against my spell. Hold on a second. Where's that coming from? Spell focus is one of them. The first thing that's because seven is a lot like I want to make sure that that math is right.

Spell focus is minus two to saves against my wizard spells, which are all spells to gender. Hey, Jake, make a wall of fire right there. I can I can do that. It's not going to be minus seven is going to be minus two because the other ones just the enemies of three squares of me. But still minus two, which means he failed that. Which means what now? He failed that. He got 11 minus. Right. But I mean, what does that mean as a result? I mean, that he's unconscious. Don't worry about it. Jake, we're fine. Yeah. So everybody just stroll away on your turn. Like anyone hits them.

I think that's good. Which means he's dead. No, it means they do max damage. I thought unconscious was that's a coup de gras, but you do max damage on any attack you land. This it'll be instant death if I get a crack. All right. OK, so you don't need that wall of fire now, which saying I think I'm cool. OK. All right. Then I am going to cast. Well, yeah. OK. I don't think I mean, why? Why are you casting this wall of fire? Because I'll be in it. So if he does and two is unconscious or two is unconscious, can attack me and one. Can you not cast it in the squares that two and one are standing in now rather than casting one in front of you?

I could do it like on them, I guess. Like right there. I could do that. But I started to turn in it and they have to pass through it. Wait, how much damage does it do? It does not do much damage. It just does. I think that's going to that's going to wake two up. And if I want to get some good damage, I don't want to say, well, I was going to hit him anyway right here with one of my moves. I was going to hit both of them. Do you not want me to not hit to how much it depends on if it does a ton of damage. Then you go ahead and hit it. Not really. It doesn't then then just focus on one, because if it if two stays asleep, then we can just take one down at a time, maybe.

All right. We'll do it's a thirty six plus ten. So I don't know if that's enough. That's worth. Yeah, at least seven for inward. So. You are going to help have to help me get over to you because I can't move that fast. I am not getting close to him. So where are those? Joconas? Yeah. You can set up portals for you. You can do that. That's what you want to do. You want to get him over here. I read back what you guys are debating. I'm suggesting it. That's what it put it. Put it. Put one of one for you and one behind number two. That way he can get what you call it. Attack whatever the fucking thing that I've been in.

That's the best. Put it behind him so he can go through it. Go behind him. Duncan still in front. I've still got a huge healing range so I can still be healing Duncan from the back if he stays up there and he's got more life. He's got the second most life in the spot. Okay then. Yeah, that's that's good then. We were not running. I'm not going anywhere. Yeah. And he has he has he has words English. He has boosts right. You know buffs buffs. Do you guys want to take them down or do you want to run? No. Fuck you. We're in this now. Take it down. We have to. There's going to be especially after they made this use all those healing surges.

Exactly. At this point we're going to have to take an extended rest as well. So just go ahead and use dailies. It's in range. So I'm going to cast my arcane gate. I'm going to put the first one right here next to the inward. And I'll put the second one. You guys want it right here or right here. Yeah. Right. The second the second one you did. I go. Okay. And I'm going to cast the second one. Put it right there. There we go. Excellent. So dailies are open. We're using dailies. Fuck it, man. Maybe we're going to have to take. We're going to have to take it. I'm done. Yeah, I mean, let's go.

No point in that. That was a daily I just used. So. All right. And I guess that's I'm going to move just a little bit. Just back just a little bit since I have a shitload of range. I'm going to move back next to the Honda here. All right. That should be my turn. OK. All right. Oh, number one is slowed and immobilized. Well, now there's not a lot he can do, so. Oh, darn. In your face. Saving throws. Well, he could throw a rock, so he's going to throw a rock at Duncan. Big rock. Thirty five damage to Duncan. Jesus. I got a rock. What a big rock. Apparently, a big rock.

And you know what? He's going to pop his second action point and throw another rock at Duncan. Oh, good. These guys are going balls. Oh, no. I'm going to die right now. Another hit. You're going to die by rock. Twenty seven damage to Duncan. He's not even down. You can live. Two hit points. Two hit points left. Let's roll a saving throw. Six. So he's going to go unconscious. So he's no longer. It's about. Well, while they're unconscious, I know we said we're going to fight. But should we just fuck off? No, because we have they're going to just come after us. I think we'll finish it.

We'll finish it. We'll finish. How long did you say then? It just says. Let's say. Oh, it is. It is. Save ends. Yes, I thought. OK. OK. I want to smack them, but I also want to run. No, no. You have a gate. No, no. You think you use the gate already. So you might as well just go through the gate. Yeah. He's the gate. The back of the head where you use like your heaviest hitter, you get max. It is to sixty ten plus eight. Yeah. Do that. Do that. Do that. And it's because it's automatic crit, right? So it's an automatic crit. And there's a thing that you hit. It's an automatic.

If the attack conflicts damage greater than or equal to the bloody value, then they die. But I don't know if that's I don't know how much HP they have. So question, Jason, if he was to use a daily and missed and he got half damage anyway. Would that would that still get max damage? No. Or half max damage? It just be. Yeah. Half max damage. OK, cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. It's still on. Yeah. But they take away a five penalty to all their defenses and they're that. Yeah. They're highly hittable right now. Like they're they're offering almost no defense to anything.

I mean, the end would hit them. OK. Your turn. Oh, it's my turn. OK. Well, Duncan, I'm going to throw a healing word your way. First things first. That's 2D6 plus my healers lore, which I believe is my wisdom, which is six. So then 2D6. Wait, I'm at level eleven or level ten, Jason? Oh, so 3D6 plus six. So wait, one, two, three and then plus six. One, two, three, four, five, six. Roll 19. Well, what if you accidentally rolled three times? This is the first one. 19. OK. So, yeah, go ahead and add at 19. How much do I add? Plus the healing surge? Yeah. OK, cool. OK, watch this.

If it ever works. There it goes. That's not so bad. OK. It's better. And I don't think that's that's that's actually a minor. I just realized who else needs healing because I can do it again. I have three. Chaconis, I feel like Duncan still he's closer, I guess. So so who wants the healing? I'd give it a talk, I guess. Don't get hurt. So I'll use my second healing word. I have three, I believe. Is that right, Jason? Or two? Two. OK, so I can use the second one. Yeah, but it is a minus. So I will use a quick question. Go. Quick question. If we hit them, they wake up. You're going to get you're going to get one really good stab.

But I would say that they get to roll a saving throw as a result of that. I don't know if that's what it says in the book, but I don't care. Let's look at it. OK, so I should then not attack because I have twin strike and I can attack both, but it's versus the AC. And let me get it. But if you don't hit them, if you don't hit them, then they won't have a saving throw. They won't because you're just whiffing. But if you hit them, what's the what's the damage on it? Max damage I can get on these bad boys is a D20. No, sorry. One D8 plus four. But it's on each of them.

I don't know. Don't wait. And yet let you hit them. All right. So I've used the minor. I won't move or will move. I won't move. And then I'll end my turn. All right. Diana, your turn. I'm going to delay. All right. Duncan, your turn. OK. Question, guys, real quick. I have should I should I hit him? Should I hit any of them or should I just let you go at it? I hit one. Yeah, I would move up to two. So you can get combat advantage when the inward comes in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't move to two and hit one. Oh, yeah, I can totally. I will. I'll do that. Yes, I totally can.

OK, yeah, you can. Well, I don't have many range weapons. That's why. So now range attacks, I mean. But here's one I'm going to. I'm going to first off as a minor action, I'm going to use Klimt's the future. So I will roll three d 20s. You know, he's going to get a crit, right? I know this isn't just for him. I'm sure there's other. OK, there's other, you know. So let's see what I got. The highest one was a 10. Shit, that wasn't very good. OK, so. Yeah, big deal. So then I'm going to use malevolent mischief on over number one attack. Boom. And it's a mess. So never mind.

I'm going to stay right there and cry myself to sleep. Everything I did failed. Uh, Yenward, your turn. Yeah, Yenward's going to teleport. Step all through that gate now, boy. Yenward is very upset at number two for kicking him. So he is going to use, I think, I want to use bone crusher because that makes him vulnerable to end weapon attacks until he does a save. All right. So that is d 20 plus 18. Don't I get some bonuses from my thingy things? He takes a negative five to his defenses and stuff. So you're other than that, just swing on. You have combat advantage.

You get one. You get combat advantage and you use the surge for your other power. So whatever that is. Yeah, I'm trying to remember what if I get some pluses. So too. And then you're all the power thingy. Unless you're a little crit miss, you're probably going to hit him. It doesn't matter yet. Okay. Yay. Yes. So don't I just do max damage max damage? Okay. That's so it's 68 damage. Was that 68 or 68? It's it's it's 6d 10 plus eight. So that's six. And then I'd like to pop an action point. Fuck them up. Yeah. And what? And I would like to use brute strike, which is another six.

Okay. He's going to roll a saving throw just to see if he wakes up 16. He will wake up. Okay. Sorry. Don't smack him anyway with my thing. Well, God, just in time to get his head chopped off. There you go. Yeah. I get my pluses. Oh, wait. What is the the the vulnerable 10 to weapon damage do for me? Then he'll take an extra 10 damage. Okay. That's a hit. Yeah. 6d 10 plus eight. You have to roll it because he's awake. Okay. Do I just add the 10? Yeah. No. Okay. Plus 10. Oh, wait. Hey, you know what? I'm going to throw an altar fate so you can throw down an extra 1d 12 extra.

So can I just add that after I roll this? Yeah, that's fine. You have to roll a d 12. But yeah, that's fine. That'll be enough to kill the ogre. Oh, never mind. Can I roll? Can I roll that? Well, no, don't worry about it because then I get to save it. I could use it the other time. So well, you already said you were using it. Okay. Okay. Roll it. Oh, 11. You killed him. Good. Like you. Yeah. She's got a ticket. Me. Yeah. Drew, let's go ahead. Never mind. Go ahead. I'm done. Was back to me already. Okay. So Diana, the user, she did. No, I'm going to underlay after jacuzzi if it's not that yet.

All right. Well, that would you mean you're in now because it's another round. Oh, yeah. That's why I said that. Yeah. Okay. So, okay. I'll just go ahead and go. First thing I'm going to do is use blur. So that's plus two to power bonus. Also, I'm invisible to enemy spy squares away from you. So that means that you can't see me. Just be safe. And then I'm going to use phantom foes. So that's first two with intense. We can go ahead and delete that one. Just see one. First two. Close enough. And it's each target is slowed until the end of my next turn. And also my next turn, the first time the target makes the attack, it must make a saving throw.

That's in case it wakes up and attacks. It'll chance it might not attack us. Yeah, that's it. Okay. All right. So we are blowing dailies, correct? Just make it. Yeah. Because we're going to have to rest after this anyways. All right. Well, then I'm just going to go ahead and cast a nice old fireball. We'll cast it over here. He's in the burst. Let's just say that you're casting it far enough away that you're not burning up your teammates. Yeah. We'll just go like that. Yeah, we're doing that. Okay. So here we go. That is a hit. That's a hit. Okay. I like it. And this is going to be fire damage.

Oh, it's max damage damage. All right. Duncan, can you add the d12 thing? Nope. No, because Jason said I used it. I did. It was really cool, though. And I killed the other one. Yes. All right. So that's that's 34 damage. 34 damage. Gorgeous fire damage. He is going to roll a saving throw now. 15. He will wake up over one's turn. Hmm. He's the man. He's going to shift right here. And he is going to use scoop and swing saving throw like that. OK. Yeah. He's going to try and scoop up Yenward. I want to yell for him to look out. Hey, watch that shit, because, yeah, it's not fun. 31 versus Yenward's reflex.

You know what? That misses. It's crazy. It's very reflexive. Yeah. Yenward is back and the ogre is going to take a swing at Duncan. That'll hit. Duncan shrieks as a minute. I'm flying. Oh, this is this is that tree. The tree he's carrying, like they're using those as great clubs, like. Thirty six damage to Duncan. Oh, OK. That'll end his turn. What happened with the Yenward? Guys, help. He's just he's just scooped. He's he's grabbed. Hondo, your turn. OK. OK, I've been planning this for a while because I wanted to get that one for Speedy, but whatever cause fear. I get to move the other targets compelled to take a free action to take an action to move as far away as it can.

Moving any number of squares equal to the speed and my charisma charisma modifier, which is none. It avoids all fucking hard terrain and difficult terrain, whatever, whatever. But it's not a forced action. Therefore, it does provoke opportunity attacks in this cause fear move. If it does hit, can will he drop Duncan and Duncan be able to have. OK, well, Duncan be able to have an opportunity attack. Yeah. OK. Duncan will have an opportunity to take. Yenward will not. Yeah. Oh, sorry. It's the other way around. I apologize. OK. Carry me away. Please. Into the woods.

Never to be seen again. Making inward his bride. We fucked up if this is the end again where any walked into the woods. Never to be seen again. That's what group five is just inward in the. We like Tarzan with Oak. That'd be cool. Yeah. OK. Second thought. Do it. Oh, you OK. I'll use another healing word. I'll use my second healing word on you, Duncan, because you're closest. So that's three D six plus six. Am I right? Is that right? Just six plus. Yeah, yeah. I've got it. Yes, it's everything. I never change it yet. So roll 18 plus a healing surge. OK, so let's do that.

Oh, shit. I should know. It's for. OK, then I'll use Singing Strike because that's a minor as my standard. Today would be lovely. Come on, man. Something thinks it's gold out. God. OK. Never mind. I missed. So that was waste. I. I'll end. I won't move. I'll end. All right, Duncan, your turn. OK, for my excuse me for my minor action, I'm going to use Dwarven Resilience, which is I use my second wind. What are my bonuses when I use my second one, Jason? Plus two to all defenses and you gain a healing surge. OK, so and then I will use a healing surge. You search just HP.

All right. So I'm back up to somewhat something decent. And I guess for my move, I will use. Yeah, I will use Inspiring Refrain against over number one and I will miss. Yep. All right. See it done. Oh, wait. No, I got plus two. Does that do anything? No, I don't. I don't even. Yenward, your turn. OK, I'd like to get out of this hand. OK, you can still attack as long as my storm render. My storm render arm is free. I'm good. So just like keep hitting his teeth every time he tries to bite. Oh, actually, can I pop an action point before he takes his turn to the second yet?

Yeah, go ahead. OK, him of the daring using it on the daily, using it on over one guy here. And OK, 27 first reflex that the hit damage is three D eight plus 10. So we're going to do that. And he gets twenty three damage and an ally within five squares. Me can until the end of that encounter, you can teleport to a space adjacent to me as a move action. So if you're worried, if you're still stuck by your net by the next move, then you actually can teleport next to me. So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What's the wording in that? It says she's an ally within five squares of you until the end of the encounter.

That ally can teleport to a space adjacent to you as a move action. OK, so we actually tell her that you're that's your action. OK, try and escape action. Oh, to escape. It's his action. OK, action. So you can't just teleport the fuck out of there. Yeah, he can. OK, and then I did good. That's well do. So there we go. Yeah. We're doing OK. Toebert. I love that. OK, I'm fucking I want to hit him. He still has that that ten weapon damage. And I'm going to use everyone's favorite crack the shell. And plus stuff. This was an anime episode. This would be the filler. But then it would be like one of like just showing off the end with fighting skill, like he'd be teleporting all over the place and just hit him right.

Wait, how do I do it? Did I fuck up and not do the ten? Ten plus eight. I got it. OK. All right. Anything else? Can I know I'm good. I'm OK. So I think I move as a minor action. Diana, your turn. Well, you moved already. I'm going to move up here and then first thing I'm going to do is use emerald eye to get plus two. And then I'm going to use phantom chasm right there. So that's a tie. You get plus two and plus one because he's bloodied. We'll hit then. So that's two d six plus whatever psychic damage. Roll that. Something as a result. OK, go ahead. And he falls from and he's mobilized until the end of my.

OK, it's next. Hold on a second. I forgot to do is as a result of being bloody thing. Oh, as a result of being bloodied, he's going to soften up. He's going to make a grab attack against Duncan. And if this lands will. Did I bloody him? No. Yeah, and what did I think? Twenty one versus Duncan's reflex. Oh, barely. Yeah. OK. So what he's going to do is scoop up Duncan and he is going to hold him in his fist and then punch the ground three times. Oh, God. So this would be three separate attacks versus Duncan to see if this actually Jesus. Oh, my God. So one will hit.

Oh, but I get plus two on my. Oh, yeah, I get plus two on everything. So, no, the first one didn't even hit. OK, first one didn't hit. Second one will hit. No, I'm saying the first grab didn't hit the grab didn't hit because I get plus two on my defenses. Yeah. OK, well, then never mind. Yeah. Sorry about that. I forgot that I got plus two. OK, then Diana took a turn. Draconis, your turn. All right. Well, let's fucking kill this guy, huh? Just just to be that guy, I'm going to cast Ice Storm. Oh, I was waiting for that. I was on the edge of my seat. But wait, isn't that fortitude?

This is. Yes, you get you get a plus two because it's prone. I think you should I not go against fortitude? I don't know. They seem pretty fortuitous, but I don't know. Just go for it. It does half damage. Fuck it. He's bloody to my column. I'll cast it here. So it hits him here. And let's do it. It is a mess, but it does. But it does do half damage. Have a question. What if I gave you my 10? So you got a 24 versus 42. Would that hit Jason? No. OK, well, I did it. So my 10 is gone. So I can't I don't think I can just say no. It was it was a good shot. I mean, yeah, it's six.

Yes. That killed him. I know that killed him. That actually did kill him. Did it? Yeah, it did. Freeze. Guys, we lived. What do you say? Let's go back to the cemetery, the mausoleum thing, and take a nap there. I'm sorry. Go back to a cemetery where they're dead things to sleep. I don't think so. What else do you want to do? Go back in the cave then. OK, OK, OK, OK. Role play time. Like, I think we need to sit down and talk about this whole chase right now, because we're losing days and we kind of need to rest. So we really need to discuss whether we're going to actually do this.

And silence. OK, thank you, guys. If we don't. If we don't and he goes on to continue creating his virus, all of us will likely be dead within the next year. We'll be dead within the next five minutes if we continue the way we're going. OK, here's my take on this. We were out in the world now. We would have fought these trolls whether we were chasing this guy or not. At this point, yeah, we're going to let him get further away. It's going to take longer to get to him. But I still think that we take a rest and then continue on. Take the rest and go after him.

OK, well, player knowledge. I don't give a fuck. It's metagaming. I'm not camping the fuck out here. We need to find somewhere safe. Oh, no, absolutely. I was saying the safest place was the place we just came from. Fine, then whatever. I'm not camping here. So I would have kept here. Well, I don't think it's metagaming. I think you were just shown a great example of why you shouldn't camp near forests. So you're heading back. You're heading south back to the cemetery. Oh, actually, no. Jason, can I roll a nature check to see if I know any of any alcohol or anything close to this general vicinity where we could probably set up camp safely?

Sure. Thank you. Not Utah. You shut your mouth and you get back in the cupboard. Yes, ma'am. Twenty eight. Twenty eight. Twenty eight. So while tracking while tracking the person that you're tracking. Honda is going to keep an eye out nature wise in the area, and for some reason, you kind of dropped the ball with the with the ogres. He could have give you a heads up on that one. But he did notice that there are little caves and then little little things that would keep the elements off you were in a storm. And they're also pretty defensible from from a camping standpoint.

So there is there are a few caves that are just large enough for the party that you guys can fit into bears, sometimes hibernate in them or use them as makeshift homes. And they would be perfect to sleep in for the night. It'd be pretty defensible. It's really hard for anything to sneak up on you that way. Plus, if you have a fire, the the cave sort of protects that. It's not it's not a shiny ass beacon in the middle of the night that will attract wildlife. Well, that sounds perfect. Let's see. I'll relay that to the party and see what they say. Sounds good to me.

Let's sleep in a cave. OK, I'm going to grab rocks and twigs and vines and shit because I'm going to roll an engineering check to fucking set up some traps. Can I do that? You could rig up something that would make a fair bit of noise. OK, I'd love to do that. So do me a favor. Roll an engineering check. See how well you can. Engineering plus 16, by the way, guys. Yes. Twenty three. So Honda is going to rig up something that is that is pretty adequate that this should like a little like a tiny little perimeter around the cave that if something were to creep up on you of lower intelligence, it would probably set this off and make some noise.

Since again, sorry, I'm talking so much, but since we're bedding down for the night, I'm going to go on top of like if whatever cave we're in, if it's climbable, I'd like to go on top. And because I'm a I'm a drow, I'll just meditate and I'll be on watch for as long as possible. I'll meditate for four hours and then I'll be a watch for the rest of the night. We could do that. Cool. I'll sleep in the cave. Everybody else just bedding down. Yeah. Yeah. Crashing in the cave. That should be the name of the episode. Crashing in the cave. Do me a favor, everybody.

Give you give yourselves a rest. Game time. Let's get attacked by more. OK, it's morning. Yeah, let's go. Let's I'll tell you when it's morning. OK, it's not morning. Perception check to see if he does a good job at look out before we're attacked by bears. To be honest, my whole my whole my whole meditating thing is me deeply communing with my God, not really on guard while I'm meditating. The Raven Queen had to say, does she say hi? That's their version of less their version of sleep. You know what? Actually, I did want to do something. So hold on a sec. Hondo, do me a favor.

Roll a religion check. Man, my religion is terrible. Like I forsook my God a long time ago. For suck, forsook, for salt, for. I know you're asking the wrong guy. I think it's for suck. I don't know what I got for. So somebody on the time page will let me know. Just yeah, they will forsook, forsook. Oh yeah. Well, look at me. All right. OK, my religion is plus nine, by the way. So, you know, they're just not bad. What do you say that ain't bad? You got saved in the woods. So Hondo is born again. Hondo. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, no, no. I'm I'm I was really good.

That's funny as fuck. That was really good. Like I was just I was back to some black swamp or brought back up and said, I accept Raven Queen. Have you heard the definitive word? Because it's the Raven Queen and it's about death. Yeah, the definitive word is death. The one and only word, my children. So while while Hondo is meditating, he is going to feel he is going to feel a connection to something bigger out there. He's going to feel personally, he's going to feel like he's connected. Maybe, maybe something to do with the ogres. Maybe just just how fragile life is.

Not necessarily that he spoke to the Raven Queen or that he is, you know, you know, it's just just something it's like, man, you know, we're part of we're all part of something bigger. Like he just gets that feeling. He lives in you. Don't believe the hype. He watches over. So great. So I'm gleaming from my my my my slightly religious moment. Like, is that it? I just feel as though, you know, I'm a part of something bigger. That's it. OK, keep that in mind. Circle of life, huh? Is it is it is it just me or is it funny that Duncan's religion is higher than Hondo?

My religion is higher than Hondo's. Listen, I've been through a lot. OK, you guys don't know me. You don't know what the church has done to me. Maybe I should go meditate. OK, what's next? Bears. Let's see what happens. So let's pick up the next day. OK, let's let's let's. You guys are waking up in your cave. You've been sheltered from the elements. You had a nice little campfire going. It's it was a pretty peaceful night as nights go. So you've all had a chance to recoup and heal up. I imagine a few of you are quite sore waking up the next day. The problem is that means that's another day that the archmage has had has had on you in terms of in terms of running.

You know, someone maybe with trolls or ogres or whatever hadn't been thrown at us, we wouldn't have had to do that. That's nature. So what would you guys like to do? We're in a stack. Jump back on the road and get a for one. So this can be inward. I'm the green ranger, so I'm cooler. Should we run some kind of nature check to look for prints and whatnot? Do you want to see us either situation? I know those ogres. No, I want to see like we're going to get back in front and start to get back to this. I think also maybe we should see if there's any more ogres in the area before we at least those ogres.

We might have gotten some good experience. Yeah, let's do some checks. I'm guessing Honda's probably the best. I don't know. Perception roll to track to see if you can get back on the trail of there, Mac. That's a 20. I did good, guys. I got the double digits. You should be proud of me. Are we all doing perception checks? Yeah. No. Can I can I roll a nature check? You can see if like ground has been disturbed or something. I imagine you'd head back out of the road where you were. Can I do an arcana check? It is. He is long gone for that. I rolled a 26 for my nature check.

OK. I have a 25 for perception. Now what's the one we'd have to roll to see if there's any more ogres around? That would be nature. That's totally nature. I'm going to I'll include that one free of charge. Oh, thanks, Jason. A whole nest of them, 10 feet away. Coming right at us. There's no way we can avoid it. What's crazy is they just lost. There was a funeral. You interrupted. They're in this tree right here. This one. That one. So back on the road, you're rolling checks to see if you can pick up the trail. Honda was actually going to is going to pick up the exact same trail you were following the day before.

That is that is going to continue to head north now. It looks as though. It looks as though as of now he's heading towards Betrayal Ridge. This is going to go clean through White Wolf Valley. And like it looks like that's the direction he's heading in, which is a series of smaller mountains. Wait, is Betrayal Ridge is that where he's almost built? No, no, no, no. That was near the Evergreen. OK, Jason, what you're saying is he shouldn't have burnt down my house in Minecraft. Is that that is a joke. I have funny. I don't get it at all. But yeah, it's funny to me.

It wasn't his house. It was the spawn house and I didn't bring it down completely. And it was OK. I swear it was an accident to this day. OK, dungeon. OK, question, question. My nature check. Would I glean that it's like from the trail that we're following? Does it seem as though it's one person or more than one person? This looks like one person. Hmm. OK, this definitely looks like one person. I ain't scared of one guy. I'm afraid of no ghosts. What do I get with my perception checked? Perception check. Same thing with the trail. You're you're definitely seeing one person.

Thankfully, it had been raining and storming heavily in the last week. So the ground is pretty muddy. So footprints are going to be really easy to track. And the only time it gets really, really difficult if you're going to stick to this is through White Wolf Valley, because a fucking army just marched through there. Do we know of any quicker routes around White Wolf Valley? You're going to have to pretty much cut across if you're following this. You have to stay in the trails. It sucks, but that's what it is. We're going in the direction we wanted to anyways.

But I feel as though if this guy is heading the only like logical place on the map, if that's where he's heading, like if we could find a shortcut and go around him, because we're like two days behind or a day behind. What is it, Jason? You would. Oh, yeah, it'd be over two by now. OK, then we'd have to take it into hours ahead of us. Yeah. OK. Taking into account that he might he might he may have had to stop for a breather as well, because I mean, it's a fucking wilderness and it's there. Yeah, he's a very far ahead. He may not be that far ahead. So I don't know.

I feel I don't feel like we should leave the trail that he said, because like if we like it, if we guess wrong, he's gone. Gone. Yeah. And hey, who knows? Maybe he did go around White Wolf Valley. Like, we'll find out when we get there. We don't know the trail. Well, maybe this guy was like an ex-Marine and he made a fake trail this entire time and we've been going like nowhere. Well, then he's amazing. He's a wizard. He can't do that. He's a wizard. Why hasn't he been floating there the entire time? Seriously? Well, he probably figured no one would go after him or find a place or whatever.

Okay, well, one. Okay, well, that's a good question and I'll explain that one. He's not Magneto. There's a limitation to the power he can use. Even Archmages, they're I mean, it takes something out of them. Two, it's kind of suicide to go after one of these guys. They're really, if you get to the point of being an Archmage, one, the really good ones, kind of like the ones you've met so far, kind of full of themselves because they're essentially like demigods that walk among people. Just the trap he left could have killed fucking Draconis. That's the kind of power you're dealing with.

And three, he probably figured he had slipped away fairly confident in that no one was following him. Alright, then he shouldn't be going past then. So White Wolf Valley normally is teeming with very mild wildlife. You're going to see deer and some boar. The occasional bear. Recently, it's been a bit empty. Having tens of thousands of people march through has sort of trampled a lot of the local wildlife. Now on top of that, Strahd fucked this place up. A good portion of the Evergreen has been destroyed. The southern portion of it, we're talking acres, acres of trees gone.

And a fair bit of White Wolf Valley, the southern portion of it has, there is a large burning swath. So they're just charred black. That'll take many, many, many, many, many years to fix. So, wildlife wise, you guys are pretty good. When you get towards Betrayal Ridge, though, that's Drake country. And there tend to be larger Drakes in that area. So that is something you might want to be on the lookout for. But again, you kind of cross that bridge when you get to it if you choose to keep following. Okay, I say we cautiously move forward. You know, Strahd might get us or something.

Well, onwards. Oh. Alright, so heading toward Betrayal Bridge, that's where this path is going to take you. I want you to all roll a perception check for me. I'm really good at these. Me too. Oh, actually, I was good. Oh my god, worst perception check ever. I got a 10. I'm pretty sure that's good. Holy shit, I crit. I did crit. Diana got a crit on perception. She sees everything. I was I was thinking about my, my, my, my religious moment so I didn't really see anything. Dan if a woman's life is paid attention to what's going on. I'm going to hear Duncan, Diana and Hondo.

No, Duncan, Diana. Okay, Duncan, Diana. You asshole. Sorry. Wait, wait, wait. I saw your nature check. My 22 don't work. Hold on. These two you're going to take in the surroundings and I'm going to describe what you're seeing Betrayal Ridge is actually a fairly small mountainous area, it's a it's a series of mountains that level off at the very top there, they're really flat towards the top you get a great view of White Wolf Valley and peering into. You can you can peer into the evergreen and there are several small like patches of forest that surround it and into the, to the north, east you can see during hollow and you can even see towards the divide to the deadwood pyre forest things like that.

Now, the thing about Betrayal Ridge is that there. There are paths that lead up and along those paths you'll find that the mountains themselves are sort of naturally hollowed out into caves. And there are all kinds of crazy critters running around in these caves. So following this path up to Betrayal Ridge this it got really tough to follow for a while going through White Wolf Valley it slowed you guys down significantly. So it's going to be nightfall by the time you get to Betrayal Ridge, you're going to come across the body of a Drake. A very large Drake.

Norm. Not Norm. Norm is an ocean. Norm. No wait no that's a different one that's Snickers. This is not Norm. Snickers is fish food. Norm is summer. Do me a favor and roll a perception check please. Okay, I'm gonna roll a nature check. I'm actually doing not crit. Crit master. Wow. Almost a crit rondo. I'm cleaning my fingernails I'm not even noticing a Drake. You walk right over it just like no. Draconis. Draconis is going to notice that this Drake, firstly, okay this is big. This is large enough to easily take on this entire party. This is a big Drake. It wishes. We're talking, this thing is about 35 feet long.

If you had to guess it'll weight. Good idea. You'd guess that this thing is easily 15 to 1600 pounds somewhere in there. This is a big meaty beefy Drake. And it has been charred. Oh. Damn. It looks as though this Drake has been electrocuted to death. Oh god. And Hondo's going to know with his nature check that that is a feat. Because, you know, Drakes this large tend to have resistances to elemental damage and they have really big thick tough hides. This Drake was killed, you're guessing, within seconds because anything that big would probably have killed the thing that it was attacking.

I'm going to look at Diana and ask her. Okay, sorry, go ahead, deal check. Diana's going to pick up that someone very powerful used a series of spells on this Drake to flat out murder it with electricity. Yeah. That would be Loreweaver's doing. We don't know that for sure. Can we decide that we don't want none of this? There are many people that can do that. Archmages are one of them. And do you think we can take these this guy on? Yes. Okay, I trust you. Sure. Why not? Hey, Yenwood, can you do me a favor? Oh. Is that a "huh"? That was a "huh". I said "huh". Could you smash this Drake's mouth for me please?

I gotta take these teeth out real quick. I want three of them. Okay. Deal. Crack it open. I guess I'm going to defile this beautiful creature with an athletics. Here's what we want to do to get the mouth open. You want to take your axe and go along the edges of the mouth and just go back until you can crack the jaw and open it that way. Fucking hell Kelsey. That's what you do when you dissect pigs and stuff and it's kind of the same thing. I'll know that for next time. It's when he seeks to my athletics. Unless he want me to do a cartwheel then I'll do acrobatics.

I'm going to say that you just harvested the teeth from this Drake. Can I get a horn as well? Or horns if he has horns? This is a non-horned Drake. Okay, I'll take the teeth and I'll be happy with that. Okay. Now the path continues. No, no, no. And the claws. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. What's happening right now? And shut up. You didn't do such a good job. Not such a great job ripping out the claws of this beast. He kind of broke a few of them. You got a couple of them though. You got a couple of claws. I'd say three. But the teeth came out pretty well. Yeah. Is there anything else that's useful on a Drake?

I'll give Yen three teeth just like he also. And one claw. And I'll take the rest. The rest of this Drake is pretty unusable. His skin has been seared. So it would be of no use to you as armor. Barbecue? See, that's why I went for the teeth. Can I eat it? The fucking Drake has pretty much been cooked from the inside out. That's true. We could eat it. I'm going to check his dental records and find out who it is. Is that cannibalism for Draconis? Not 100% but just a little bit. Don't you kind of imagine that Dragonborns eat each other anyway? Yeah. They're sick and they're young.

I've ate plenty of them. To get their powers or some weird shit like that. It's strength. We're not a fucking Highlander. The impenetrable quickening. So Duncan goes up to Draconis and goes looking sad and goes, "Did you know him?" I have no fucking clue. He doesn't answer apparently? I said I have no clue. I have no clue. Oh, okay. If you guys choose to, the path continues. It continues up and this particular one looks to go into a cave system. Oh, man. The good thing is that Jason said it took multiple spells to do that, not just one. So that's why I still think we have a shot or else I would have said turn around and get held.

But yeah, I think we're good. I think we should go on. I disagree but whatever. Let it be known. I mean he has to die. In character, I'm totally done with Diana. Out of character, I'm fucking scared as hell. Oh, no. Out of character, I'm absolutely scared but Diana's not doing it. So yeah, let's go do the thing. Uh-oh. We're changing maps. We're changing maps, guys. Come on. Yeah, because it's a cave. It's a cave. It's happening. It's crunch time. Oh, wait. We all know that Liara's back. Yeah, Liara. Woo. Don't cheer too hard. Guys, guys, I came to find you. Listen, I'm here to help.

We're going to need all the help you can get. She's got queen shit. She's got shit to do. They're truly ours now. She cloned herself. We're loyal subjects. I mean, she can find the time. Shit. Murphy doesn't need her. Guys, we struck a treaty for world peace. It's okay. You can stop now. We've sent our best, our top men. Loree was actually with the white ravens. Top men. Top men. Loree had a heart attack. It's okay. As Diana B. After we take care of Lord Peever, I want to go on a nice holiday. Can we just go relax for a while? Can we have a beach episode, please? Yeah.

He died of diabetes. It's like lemon pie killed him. That's it. It wasn't me above. I love lemon pie. What's that really nice village called that's really a bunch of Satanists in Inferior? Icebreaker? Can I have icebreaker? Icebreaker? What? You talking about Fairbay? Fairbay, that's the one. Nothing's wrong with Fairbay. Can we go to Fairbay after this, guys? Just to chill out for a while? No, Fairbay's close to Longford. I don't want to go there. We can go to Winterhaven. They like us there. Well, yeah, we're only halfway to Winterhaven at this point. We were going there anyways.

Just send a letter back to Laird and tell her to take care of the kids that we left behind. Yeah, we changed our mind. We're going to Winterhaven. You guys got food, right? Just feed them. We have to go pay off that guy that would burn down his house. We have the map. We got the plan. Okay, so we're in a cave. We're in a cave. Jason's looking for the cave. He's trying. Jason has no trouble finding caves, trust me. It's going to eat him there. Is it fair? No. Wait, why is dude- I don't do- So true, I guess. I don't know whether I intended it like that, Dan, but that was really, really good.

I don't know that way. Jason's good at finding caves because he's a bear. I'm giving it to you. That was an excellent pun there. Anywho. This cave. I'm sorry, I was still thinking about the pun and then you said this cave. What about this cave? Is it a moist cave? Jesus Christ. It's a girthy cave. Ew. That's disgusting. Get out of here Kelsey. A girthy cave. One of those caves that pulsate and it's gross. All the walls are shiny. So this cave, you're going to find a few more dead animals. Aww. Much smaller drakes this time, but it looks as though two or three of them died simultaneously.

So whatever did this to them dispatched them both quickly and all at once. Can we tell how recent that was? Roll a perception for me please. Can everyone roll a perception? Please? Thank you. Oh I almost crit. Jeez, I'm actually doing good on perception. Every time you say perception I'm going to roll nature because... Yeah. Obviously. Hondo is going to kind of do a little time of death on these drakes. This looks to be maybe 12 to 14 hours ago that they've died. Can I also do an arcane on the general area? You can, yeah. 24. You are picking up some... Diana is picking up the most power she has ever sensed and it's coming from further within this cave.

And you are definitely approaching the source of this. This is even stronger than Theramax. Yeah, how much stronger? If you were to guess, probably twice as strong. Easily. Okay. So does Diana relay that information to the rest of the party? Yeah, she's not going to mention Theramax and say twice as strong as the other archmages she's ever met. Yeah. Hondo is going to look at Diana and just give her like the "are you sure about this look?" Okay, so Jason, because I don't have the knowledge base that Diana would like, so comparing the strength of the party to the strength that she's feeling, how would that match up?

Well, you fought with... Is it over 9000? You fought with the party before, so you know you've seen what they can do. You have not seen Loreweaver in action. You know what Theramax could do though first hand. So just picking up... it's kind of a scouter power level reading thing. You can feel when someone's this powerful, other magic users can feel that. That is an aura they put off. Mages are proud of that. That's kind of their E-peen stroking. That is kind of... it's like, yeah, check out my aura. That is a big deal. That's why archmages don't usually get into a fight.

Yeah, crap. Okay, so Diana told us that he was very strong. And I guess my next thing would be how close is he? Well, Hondo said this was like 12 to 14 hours ago, so we honestly don't know. Or could I tell from the magic? You're just picking up that this would still be in the cave. Like, he's nearby. Okay, so he's in the cave. Can I roll... Or can anybody else roll a history check on this general area if there's any kind of fucked up magical thing that we know here? 34. Go Draconis, go. Okay, Draconis did a history check. So long ago, before the division of the elves and the drow, the elves and the drow worked together on a great many things.

At the time, and this was hundreds of years ago, the leader of the elves ended up forcing out the drow. The drow actually used to live in the Evergreen and the surrounding forests. And they drove the drow out to make room to expand their tribes, forcing the drow to go underground. That's where the name Betrayal Ridge came from. And that's why the drow have such a hardcore grudge against the elves. They really don't trust anyone. Their entire society is built on pretty much that single betrayal. Everything that they've worked for on the surface was taken away from them, stripped away from them.

They already weren't welcome in cities. The elves knew that. So by driving them out of the forest, which was their last bastion, it took away their last place on the surface that they could carve out a home for themselves. So the drow were forced underground. Now, Brittana Moonshadow has worked tirelessly to sort of rebuild a bridge with Oraclad and the drow and try to work with them. That's the only way the drow worked with you guys in this last campaign. But even that's very tenuous. There's still centuries of mistrust and hard feelings. So it's slow going, but Brittana's trying to make it up to them.

Now, there is no reason historically why Lower Weaver would have picked this spot to make camp, other than the fact that it is away from everyone and he is clearly on the run. So this is probably just convenience. This is probably just, "I need a place to crash. No one's here except for some drakes and I can take care of them." What do we want to do, guys? Why don't we search for traps and that kind of stuff? See if there's anything in here that can... Can I check? Maybe while we explore the cave? Sure, you didn't want to think. Yeah, did their contract pick up any glyphs that could almost kill people?

No. That's the eerie thing. No traps. The only thing he knows is we're coming. Diana didn't pick up any traps, so he either doesn't know that someone would be looking for him or he doesn't care. Or both. I'm gonna go with a former rather than the latter. We got the draw. Should we do an engineering too while we're at it? Sure, no problem. That is 20. You're not picking up any traditional traps. No punji sticks, no flame jets, no crushing rocks, nothing like that. Before we go on, if we do continue on, there's a very real possibility that any of us could die in a fight against him.

But I'm not sure what our other options are at this point. Turn around. We just walk in. But we know for a fact that this guy could do some major damage to the rest of the world. So if we leave now, what's the point? Yes, if we leave now, we might lose our only chance at stopping something that can wipe out every non-human race in the world. Didn't we just do that though? We just made sure about all the non-human races, right? Like, that's what the... Fine, we can go. You realize you're a non-human, right? Duncan just shakes his head. He's more exhausted than actually not wanting to do it.

It's more just like, we have to do this again. This is actually probably more important than taking down the Overwatch and stopping Carter. What? Listen, Diana, I'm with you on this, but if we're gonna go fight against an Archmage, I'm gonna need something a little more powerful. And he's gonna look at the staff there. Should he have to run some kind of check on the staff to know that? Didn't she tell us when we got it in the first place? She's been really secretive about it. Oh, I apologize. No, no, no. I would've. I would've. I just... I mean, we know she has it.

I didn't know if you knew what it does. Jason, Jason, Jason. Okay, if I gave the staff the Honda, what bonuses would it get him? Healing bonuses! Which is kind of important. It's what I do! Can he rent the staff from you for a little bit? That's what I'm saying. Just what I'm probably gonna let him borrow with. I'm just curious. Borrow it. Two major things. Two major things. Any radiant spell that Hondo would use, it's going to do double damage. God. And he would be able to use his healing word three times a day instead of two. Oh, god. Three times an encounter.

Sorry. And any healing spell that he would use against someone, the bonus they would get on top of their healing surge goes up by ten. Oh, Jesus. Okay, so Diana's before Hondo even says anything, she's gonna kind of consider it and then just hand him the staff without a word and take out her old one in your hand. My eye's gonna light up and I'm gonna go, "Weeee!" And then take off. No, not really, because that's the end. Just run out of the cave. Bye, guys! That was easy. This is my mission the whole time! What about going underground with Hondo? Hondo, you could hide us, right?

If we just get out of here. Yeah, I probably couldn't do that. Like, for reals for reals, I probably couldn't do that. I got people to come to. Wait, so this is real talk right now? I don't know what even needed to update characters. She's chasing, sorry. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry. So, after I gave you the eyes for the staff, you gave it to me, I'm just gonna say, "Oh, take good care of this. You'll get it back. Trust me." She knows. Cool. Alright, you guys are advancing into this cave? Uh, yeah. I don't want to either. We don't have enough choice. Can I just like, how many, just running Arcana checks continuously while we're walking down just to be safe?

Oh yeah, this is like a Geiger counter. Yeah. This is, this is, yeah, this is, I would imagine, Diana, constantly while you're trekking through this cave, everyone else is keeping an eye out for critters and there are going to be piles of dead drakes. This place apparently was infested with them. Are we stopping to pick up the teeth of everyone we realize? We'll get it our way out if we survive. Okay. Yeah, let's. That's a good plan. And Diana's going to feel this ridiculous amount of power. And the closer, the closer you all get to it, the more overwhelming this is, the more, holy shit, that this, I mean, you're thinking, each time you round a corner, it's like, well, clearly we gotta get, we gotta be coming up on them, or him.

And each time you round a corner, it just, nope, it just, I'm feeling it stronger and stronger and stronger. And eventually you're going to reach a section of this cave and you're going to see a man standing on the opposite end of this, this really large kind of hollowed out portion of this cave. Just this really flat, large portion. And he is standing with his back to the party. Oh, that looks friendly. Sort of against, he sort of unpacked items and things. This appears to be the place where he's setting up camp. So what would you guys like to do? How far are we away from him right now?

That is up to you. You're on the other side of this room, but if you'd like to try and creep up on him. Tip, we're with you at Jordan's. Can we do an arcade check on the room to watch, like watch out for glyphs and traps and stuff? Sure, go right ahead. Make an arcana check. 26. Tom, are you back by the way? Yeah. Okay, good. Are there any other people you want to go to do as well? There are, okay. Neither, neither Draconis or Diana are picking up any traps, any glyphs, anything other than that immense source of power that is standing across from you. He's so dead.

I think we got to drop on him you guys. Yeah. Okay, so here's the thing. If we tried to creep up on him from where we are, we would have to do some kind of stealth checks and stuff like that. We could also just have Yennward Gorrim right now. I don't think that's going to work. I'm just going to put this out there. I don't think that's going to work. Okay. I can, here's a week, well it depends on the initiative. I can throw my arcane gate up right beside him, but I'd have to be higher up. I can do that because Yennward does need to get close to him to do any damage.

Oh my god, we're going to die. I'm scared. The best I can do from long range is like probably before we get into combat, like Papa daily and try and hit him from here and like with something. Yeah, I can do, I might be able to do something as well. Visions of Advarys is pretty shit. I take it back. I don't know. Wait a minute. He's a wizard. He's a mage. AC might be shit. Yeah, go for AC. Yeah, that's the thing. Like I don't know if any of my spells are going to hit because they're all against will. It's going to be, it's going to suck. We're all going to die.

Using glimpse the future before battle wouldn't really be a thing. So I don't really have anything I could use from back here. So it's okay. I could pop a chance of accuracy and that would give everyone within a burst 10 a plus two power bonus to their attack rolls. So are we getting a surprise round? Yeah, I was about to ask that. We're all planning ahead here, but Jason hasn't said anything. I thought he said we did. I don't know. No, I'm asking you what you'd like to do. I didn't say you'd get a surprise round. Well, we want to attack first, ask questions later.

We want a surprise round. That's what we want. Well, okay. I'm going to let one of you try one thing. Okay. But think about this. If you can sense his power, he can definitely sense yours. Oh, absolutely. So are you going to let one of us try something? He's fucking scared. He knows I'm on my way. Shouldn't the first thing be Draconis's? No, I can, because if I can slap a controller spell on him, if I could somehow miraculously hit his will, if I get really lucky, then we'll be good against. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, because we know he's going to have a high will.

Let somebody with- What are other options? But if it does work, then- Draconis's. I know, no, I'm with you. Kelsey, I'm with you. But tactically speaking, Draconis's gate would be fantastic because Yenwood could just literally plow forward- Yeah, that's actually a good point. That's a good point. Do that, do that, do that. Yeah, he could- I'll let you fastball special this. What? I'll let Draconis slap down a gate and then Yenwood try something. Yes, okay. That's a thing, huh? Okay. Fastball special. Alright, so- Okay, let me throw my dude down here. Alright, so which attack should I open with?

I guess I should probably be- The vulnerable- Let me hit everybody. Let me make sure- The vulnerable 10 weapon damage or the minus 2 penalty to AC? 10 weapon damage. No, wait, AC. No, no, no, go for AC because, yeah. That does less damage. That way we all have an opportunity. Yeah, no, but that way- that reduces his AC, right? Yeah, unless he does a saving throw. And he takes on- Right, that- Sorry, excuse me. At least that way, if you do the AC thing, we all have an opportunity to hit because, again, I'm presuming as he's a wizard or whatever the fuck he is, his AC is gonna be lower compared to all his other like, magicky stuff.

You know what, since we're opening hard, I'll just pop an action point and use both of them. Draconis, could you put a gate there so that we don't- if we go through the gate, we don't pop up right next to him? Right there? No, wasn't that the point? To put one right behind him so we can just get in there and fuck his ass up. Well, I just didn't want to have to open it. Like, we were- I didn't want to be in range of opportunity attacks, but that's cool. That's fine. He's scared, guys. Alright, so here's what we're gonna do. This guy, he's still got his back turned, right?

Yep. Yenward, you wanna pop up right in his fucking face? Yeah. Okay. Alright. Oops, that's an accident. That's not the one. Oh, that's not the one, homo. Oh my god. That's the one. That's what I'm looking for. I am gonna cast Arcane Gate right beside Yenward, and then I'm also gonna cast the other one right there. Okay. Got the drop on him. I'm gonna crack his shell. So you're going to- Okay, Yenward is going to step into this Arcane Gate and appear on the other side of the room, standing right in front of Loreleaver. Face to face. Does he have pants on? Kiss him.

Um, go ahead and make an attack. Yeah! 32 versus AC will hit. I'm talking about. And he turns up. This was a mirage. A's dead. He's gonna take a- I wish. And negative two does penalty to his AC and five ongoing damage until he saves. Bam. 23 damage to Seacull Loreleaver. Can I pop an action point in here? Um. Hold on a second. Oh my god. Oh my heart is pounding. This is not gonna go well. Loreleaver's gonna take this in the chest. Like this is gonna cut him. Yeah. And he is going to stumble back for just a moment. And as a reaction to that, he can do this for the first attack of an encounter.

He's going to use Flippant Dismissal. Uh oh. That means Flippant. That sounded bad. He can't be that good. He's gonna send Yennward into another drum, isn't he? He is going to flick his wrist. Fuck. And with a- with a- with a- this kind of almost like a stage magician. Just like gesture to the opposite of this cave. Oh my god. Yennward is going to levitate and then go careening eight squares. Could have been yours. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Not supposed to be a projectile. I'm eight foot tall. I know. So far you've been thrown everywhere. Yeah. And Yennward is going to go prone.

No damage will be done. Oh cool. And without turning to face the rest of the party. Yeah. Loreleaver is going to, in a low voice that's going to sort of echo throughout this cave, leave this place and that is all he is going to say okay bye catch you later buddy thanks for having us over if the Lava showcase so record your address which can you get up can you come with us it is your cool whether you everything that we're doing now is because of you so you get no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no this is your quest we're all helping you out this is all you hold on you you this is you have one of two choices we can either roll initiative and you can attack or you can leave he is giving you the option to walk away Wow is there anything leave and like trap him in here can we like ask him not to do bad stuff after really yeah just there's no diploma size in this motherfucker we've already attacked him or we can tell him he's gonna pay for the shit that he's done and fuck him up exactly because in character like right about now really and truly although he's extremely powerful and Honda is trusting Diana he's he kind of knows that this guy's responsible for the experiment on children and he's not really about that so he can't really let that go right now yeah no there's I mean please don't again in IRL I'm scared as fuck I'm afraid I'm like this is way more terrifying than the Carter fight ever was like this is like yanward almost made him bleed he's almost bloody he's almost like yeah yeah right okay did he flinch when when yanward cut him into his with his axe no but he hurt he's trying to be a boss right now he is oh no he oh it hurt him okay it absolutely hurts it's not like he just stood there took it completely unfazed he's been that would say he tried hey Tom what yo I'm looking at your powers why didn't you ever use a mighty surge he did it is a lost fight oh he did sorry okay yeah you know what something just dawned on me what if we're the bad guys here and we've used violence instead of words like what if we're doing a bad thing I agree children that's not the good thing no no I mean this place Pacific specific specifically specifically what's he doing here like that's what I want to know I can't ask him questions now because we already fucked him up so I say we continue fucking he's given us a like a minutes or pre-place you can go like you want to try to the plumber size with them and see if we can get him to stop like uses powers for good okay that's not gonna happen okay I'm saying well that's not gonna happen I'm in the fight I'm down to fight this motherfucker like I'm down but that's what I'm that's what I'm voting to do fight this bitch I'm gonna I'm gonna light both my hands on fire and just growl under my breath to the to the group if he can hear it he can if he can't that's cool too and I'll say let's kill this motherfucker all right everyone roll initiative I wanted to try to talk to him okay so did that mean that he heard it I guess oh yeah oh did he okay and got shucks guys we could have talked he could have been our new friend yeah after he just punted you across the room or well not punished you but yeah but after he tortured children he's gonna be a great friend he's gonna have Draconis Draconis is a friend he's done plenty of two children we are we rolling initiative are we doing this yeah it's perfect I'm up first well he's gonna get like a 50 maybe yeah ah bastard he's what a enemy beat me by one okay we're in this together oh yeah we just think I'll be friends and just let this do I think I thought I think we could talk to him but you're gonna set a common bitch so no yeah I didn't call bitch I said let's go this motherfucker called a motherfucker that's yeah yeah I didn't who knows the river might fuck his mother you remember how good that pizza was I was doing that means you die a quick death that's all that means let's see what Laura Weaver does I dare you not to kill us what are you doing what the fuck what girl you crap I dare you not to kill I had Hondo and Duncan and Draconis and not yet work Jason I was using for psychology because you're not man enough to kill everyone but me stop Lord Weaver is going to use a movement action called blink oh fuck no that is all for doesn't just kill us that's me happen in a brilliant flash he is going to disappear and reappear up to ten squares away quick everybody run through the gate I'm fine I'm staying around oh yeah you're fine and you know it could take the gate back after he stands up on the turn out next and he's going to reappear in front of this party and just look at you with disgust you are ants to this man can I return the look to him can Diana do you absolutely can you have interrupted him you have you have invaded his privacy and he is just going to look to the party and say peasants and tonight all of his back in the cave thank you on the ground back to the kid yeah laying against the wall and he is going to use lightning arc and he is going to target Duncan and that'll hit these are he is going to target Draconis and that'll hit 33 huh for slightly 42 damage to both the holy shit limited power so low reverse load Palpatine Emperor draconis your turn so guys uh here's what we're gonna do here I am going to put up a we're all range right mm-hmm yeah okay everybody but yeah so is he by the way to act throw my axe I can't your weakest attack don't knock it his weakest probably stronger than my strongest attack well melee yes I try I'm gonna move first one two three four five six here I think we need to spread out because this guy seems to have some aoe shit going on when you spread out I think it's smart and I'm gonna cast ice storm it is a first three within 20 so I'm gonna put that here and that's going to be like this right here and okay and I'm gonna do that to him and that's gonna be difficult terrain either way so I'm gonna roll for attack this is good it's fortitude so we'll see how that works that is a hit that's a hit okay and for damage 17 damage to lower Weaver okay and like I said that is a difficult terrain now and last until the end of the encounter okay Duncan your turn all right um first thing I am going to do is use glimpse the future so here are my 3d 20 rolls better better than a 10 10 okay really time that worked that really good time yeah okay now I'm gonna I'm gonna move one two that was me I had to put my eyes put him here for a second because I my step to my screen sorry wait a second let me read the text on our King gate yeah he has these a minor to sustain it I was about to say that the rift persists until the end of his next turn so it's gone does he not use the minuses stay my bitch nope well back to their back where was whoever that was like remember that was Jason right there right there okay um okay then I'll change that I'll move back one two three move to the left that's why I did um and then I will one two three four five okay we're good um I'm going to use malevolent mischief on him it is a action range 10 so let's hope this works attack him nope so nothing see ya bye okay hondo your turn um guys just guys in the back being Diana and Draconis stay within five squares of me as much as you can like I can effectively help you guys move towards Draconis and I'm gonna be right here hopefully I won't get caught in any aways first things first I'm making my quarry then I'm gonna hit forting I'm gonna hit him with a full ink shot that is a hit yes okay so falling short one creature dexterity versus fortitude to dexterity modified damage la la la la basically he slowed until he takes a minus two penalty to all his attacks and is he slowed yeah and he slowed until the end of my next turn okay all right then I'll use a minor go ahead go ahead go I just realized I still do half damage but I'll just do that when you're done here so all right and now gripping this new stuff that Diana so wonderfully loaned me I'm gonna use a minor and I'm gonna use healing word and I'm gonna aim that right over at our friend your konas did you three for damage oh I didn't even roll for damage my bad yo I was caught up in my moment thing I was caught up in the moment six yes no but it's not about the damage trust me it's about it's about the debuffs yeah but he probably has something that we can go boop I don't have any more prick yeah so Jason what are my new pluses with the with the wand or staff staff it's it's mostly about healing you're not gonna get much in the way of damage no no no no this is for healing I'm using a healing word on right it's a plus 10 to whatever you get to use healing word three times in an encounter instead of two and you get to add a plus 10 to whatever you're healing for so plus my healers Lord that's a plus 16 yes okay cool bam bam bam 16 the 16 30 30 30 healing search eat it oh that's a plus a healing surge yeah Jesus Christ that should be that staff is the shit oh my god well thank you and that's the major minor and the move so I'm out I'm at full health all right all right since I missed the damage we can skip it because that's my fault but he does still have an effect at that if we can do that um yeah okay um the effect is that he has ill luck so he slowed until the end till the end of his next turn whenever an ally hits him he gets ill he gets slowed again and a saving throw ends it okay so he's trying to your first thing I'm gonna do is minor I'm gonna use blur that's plus two to all defenses and I'm invisible to any spice squares away from you that includes him so he can't see me at all um and then I'm going to use Mirage arcana so that's a first two and I'm sure as soon as I use it Jason's gonna do you think they get rid of it because every time he said that's what happens let's see so it's like to to boom okay so um so that's a zone that will last until the end of the encounter the zone it's difficult terrain and creatures grant combat advantage while in it so every attack against him while he's there is gonna get a plus two then I make the following attack sit please let's sit please oh my gosh I got a crit it actually does the damage so let's hold on a sec hmm what does this spell do um well first it's 2d plus 2d 6 plus intelligent mother psych psychic damage first of all yeah I'm not worried about okay is dazed cannot leave the zone normally cannot see creatures outside of the zone okay yeah no we're not doing that he's gonna use reflect okay oh I'm sorry deflect not reflect that would let's see the attack hits yeah the attack hits a random party member instead within range so let's roll let's roll a d4 here and see which one of your teammates this is gonna hit I called it for the record they just said every time I used to spell something Duncan Duncan Honda or jerk onus that would be draconian oh all right so this means what now I can't see people um well okay but this is weird okay because so the attack it creates a zone and then I attack people inside the zone and this is in the target is dazed cannot leave the zone willingly cannot see creatures outside of the zone but since dracarys is outside of the zone so then this would just be so he's just dazed I would just say draconis is dazed okay and does he also take the damage yes it's 2d 6 plus 9 it's not much but it is max because I got a crit you created me every time I get how much I've done something that doesn't do damage or something like this happens um 2d sick yeah whatever I'm sorry okay well that lucky thing is that's an encounter power so he can't do that again okay so I'm gonna use an active way heavy with something else what else you got okay and then I'm going to use sleep so just that's okay well the zone doesn't matter so I just I hit him and then it's another attack please hit it's gonna miss um he slowed say Ben's he's been slowed like 50 times four times I think so far oh so he has to say four times okay hold on how far do you wait oh yeah you could okay I'm good yanward your turn I tried guys I'm sorry okay I'm just stand up go away I'm gonna straighten my crown and then I'm gonna try to Chuck Max at him because I can't move you that is a hit 37 versus his AC yeah that's a hit 15 damage to lower Weaver and he's dead you're gonna strike him in the back and he is going to fall forward slightly just like did that that that caught him off guard you were behind him and he's he's sort of dealing with the four people in front of him and he is going to he's gonna do that thing where you you sort of turn your head back so he's just kind of side eyeing you not turning around haven't you learned your lesson creature I want to flex rude and he is going to smile ever so slightly is that it for yeah okay so you're standing you're no longer prone and flexing your flexing is a minor action Laura Weaver's turn he is going to use our great game wait I hate five damage okay five damage okay I was about to say we got to get good on doing things on our turns but no this is the on yeah this is his turn okay five damage oh he's kind of safe against that at the end of his turn I can't forget he's gonna pop arcane gate teleport to the entrance of this room and now he's sort of lucky can see me shrieks when he appears around I wish he would hate I hate the fact that yet what is so far away yeah he's only on the exact opposite side shut him down just shut him down shut him down that's the boss fight strategy just keep away just keep him away keep away keep away he's going to announce to the party quite loudly I gave you all the chance to leave and now this place will be your tomb and he's going to use brilliant flash against Diana so he is going to outstretch his hand and this it's pretty much a flashbang and it is going to go off in front of Diana's face so let's see if this actually hits her - that'll hit - wait wait wait wait wait wait - dude no no doesn't my fortitude 17 like every single thing you hit me with is always 40 to suck a lot I just want you to know that so this is yeah this is going to do 32 damage so this is this is kind of a force of both light and power that's just going to strike Diana and she is blind until save ends I would like to go round and after you use your infernal wrath I'm gonna use reversal of fortune he's gonna do 2d 6 plus my intelligent - 2d 6 plus 6 so let's 1 2 13 fire damage it's something every single there's 30 fire damage to the lore Weaver that was my reversal fortune by the way okay what's that do um did it when within five squares wisdom my modifier damage Ally targeting I just hear I just hear him for some damage basically okay so really reversal of fortune that's just kind of yeah I thought you know the words just a fancier than the actual effect yeah it makes it sound like oh now what it's you instead that can yeah 22 damage is pretty good does that bloody him Jason no oh you'll know what it does because I have stuffed a lot money bloods because he's my oh when he's bloodied we all die even more than we're already dead oh you'll know when he's bloody draconis your turn all right as a minor action I'm gonna cast blur until the end of the counter you gain plus two power bonus to all defenses and you are invisible to enemies five squares or more away from you oh my god oh my god sorry sorry sorry sorry I'm so sorry I was such a prick okay we gotta stop I know I know cuz you just said it I'm such an idiot I should have read my powers properly I apologize daddy um you what's your name whoever he hit the attack with originally no not your name sexy no Diana when he hit you you get to the ally that got hit by the attack gets to spend a healing surge and regain 2d 10 additional hit points so plus that plus actually no my healers Lord doesn't work so she's at full health let's just say she's okay you just get to d10 and this isn't a me trying to take my turn at the wrong time thing I'm just reminding now he's slowed again actually he's got saving throws to roll hold on a second but yeah he's like five okay okay so he's still he's still so yes he slowed twice and taking the five damage I think yeah but when you're talking about a teleporting mage slowed isn't and he's still taking the five that negative wait wait so it's a 2d 10 he said you get to regain 2d 10 hit for additional hit points and I don't know what the one does cuz Jason's mad at me what do you mean you don't know what the one does I don't I don't know the additional points it does when I do healing 10 10 sorry I apologize so 3 so 3 10 plus 10 step yeah okay so 22 nice thank you very much I appreciate it okay Draconis your turn all right so I did my blur I'm invisible I am going to cast fire burst which is just gonna hit this area right here okay let's see if it hits him that is a miss does half damage of course okay so let's see how much half damage is gonna be nine that is nine nine damage okay um I don't think am I allowed to move after I do a minor or is that count as a yeah okay I'm gonna move just a little bit here and then in my turn just gonna move right there okay all right Duncan your turn all right um then first I'm gonna do is I'm going to cast where is it I just set it open there's chance of accuracy um it's a close burst 10 so I'm going to cast it somewhere and I'm not gonna do the area of fact but somewhere in this area so that everyone gets hit by it and what that does is well actually I'm not gonna get Draconis because I'm gonna get me instead I can't get both me and your conus so um it'll be actually more in this area here um unless is there a way I can get me into Jonas on a burst 10 I guess maybe if I do it here yeah yeah okay then I'll do it right here to get both major Jonas wait is it a burst 10 within it says action close burst 10 oh yeah the no the clothes coming up from you yeah okay so but I can get the I can get Hondo and Diana yes you can maybe if you were to move maybe no no no yeah you can reach well if you were to move yeah you could get Draconis - okay then don't stand too close to us how about if I go there don't stand you need one more closer to me so one two I can't get any closer that's as close as I get then no you're not gonna come okay so I can only move five spaces so fine um so I'd rather not move I'd rather just stay where I was um and I'm gonna do the chain of accuracy what that does is it gives me Hondo and Diana um plus two power bonuses to attack rolls until the end of my next turn um so we each have plus two now I'm going to do a tune of ice and wind on soul reaver so make sure I'm close enough one yeah okay so I'm gonna cast it um yeah I'm gonna cast it more like this is okay this says action area burst one within ten squares so what does that mean you're throwing it out up to ten squares away and then it creates a burst one okay so um then I will do it right here okay um so attack and I need to be my pointer sorry attack him oh well I that is a Chris crit so awesome that's without the plus two - that's a crit so he gets 2d 6 plus 5 damage cold damage if that means anything does that mean anything no does it hit Diana as well no check it out um it's only against enemies Diana gets to move three squares that sounds like an excellent so as possible and you attach the crit Jason or kite that's great I don't think I can can I well yeah you were just roll damage and then max yeah oh I know you do that I've never hit crit before well at least that's what I've been in control there that was an accident oh yeah okay there we go yeah no it's that was an accident 2d 6 plus 5 thank you I see it now but I didn't see it it's okay anything else nope that is well you know what I might as well just kind of scoot a little so let me flex I don't he doesn't like that go over here okay I'm good Honda your turn so right everyone okay so Duncan's are you within 10 squares of me Duncan yes one yeah yeah yeah first things first I'll use singing strike on yeah are you singing strike on a low river to do that's a hit okay roll the damage can I add the damage now because I reminded you about the quarry thing or no yeah oh yeah no yeah absolutely so that's seven plus honest it's a 1d 6 1d 6 yo or 2d 6 11 no 11 year 2d 6 2d 6 all right cool did it do 2d 6 clear that shit want to roll what does roses okay cool like what does it do 6 and then I will move back 1 2 oh my god I'm just let it I'm so glad I'm far away it's possible of being bloodied oh god oh god girls wings this was before what this before I moved um yeah don't worry this won't affect you right this second Laura Weaver Laura Weaver is going to react to to getting hit and his heads down you know just this long like raven hair just kind of like Dre he almost looks homeless like he almost looks uncapped and his eyes are gonna begin to glow and he is going to look right at Hondo and then he is going to outspread both of his hands to either side of his body shit what a river forgot his stage the bright side is is that it's very possible for us to kill him and he's already bloodied like it's it's not if we don't die before we've gone this far mostly without inwards so inward gets in the battle I bet you any money he's gonna get the fucking kill I know always notable kill so not this time with my crack the shell and I threw my axe at him I'm in the fight we got him this time guess participate me you are eating good I would also like to that your kotas and Diana are invisible to him I think I am at the moment how those as a as a minor action Duncan waves to yinward way back hey buddy hey Diane are both invisible how's that part of the room over there only so the weavers gonna spread his arms to either side of his body and conjure two copies of himself fuck what um that's not allowed guys keep your eyes on the bloody one I told you it's gonna get three times of the initiative tracker I told you I told you know everything now are those copies also slowed if we kill the original and let's do the copies also that is a good question you'll find out okay so focus one on the original because even if the other ones don't die then it's we just the best tactic yeah okay they are bloody though oh they're all but we can't tell yeah we can't tell apart we have to roleplay like we get a little part actually I can because I've mocked him as my quarry yeah I know the one in the middle I'm sorry it's the one that has a shadow guys okay okay so I move back proper minor which is another healing word so I have one left and I'm gonna heal Duncan that's why I asked him if he was within ten squares of me oh thank you okay so 3d6 plus 16 yeah or 13 10 for the bonus 16 cool thank you thank you there's some so that plus a healing surge roll for 23 Oh 23 awesome plus a healing search yes Diana don't forget the plus two on your attack when you do the next one okay and now I'm done Jason okay Diana your turn phantom foes that's area burst to within ten squares that's the new okay that's one two one two I think boom so this each target is slowed until the end of my next turn also until the end of my next turn the first time the target makes an attack it must make a saving throw so yeah and then blah blah blah and then I am going to move one two three five six let's see lure Weaver copy two before it makes an attack or before yeah okay so he is going to okay he is slowed so one two three it's gonna move forward and then he's gonna roll a saving throw that'll pass he is going to use a lightning arc against let's see Draconis is invisible so is Diana one two three four five he is within five squares though um it's five squares or greater like this oh five squares are greater okay well then he is going to strike hondo twice god sorry dude what was me first one hits hondo's reflexes the highest 42 damage in anticipation of hondo's next attack he is going to grab the skull that he carries on his waist and clutch his medallion 42 damage again cool honda will drop I will drop to the ground but in a magnificent glow of purple and dark light I rise again like the Phoenix from the ashes that'll get you what up to one hit point I believe it gets me you gain hit points equal three three plus what the fuck sorry let me read that again use this power when you're reduced to zero hit points or fewer you regain hit points equal to three per plus of the item enchantment plus two reflex and will so I don't know what that means - okay you gain two hit points you're you're at - I'm at two z-points okay cool yeah okay you are at two hit points yanward your turn yeah so yeah yanward hey yanward is gonna start making his way I want to give like a whole coke and finger point to Laura Weaver your movement speed is four it's five good good call and you need to go twice because unless you're gonna use another action yeah you just go ahead and take your action to me okay you move action and a standard action no but I wanted to throw my axe at him again oh you're still good you're not gonna be close enough to do melee you can still throw it at him in fact you're probably too far to throw it at him right now and can I throw max at him um do you use both here yeah that's what I thought see guys I could have heard him let me move back I want to throw max on your fuck the range let me see I think the ranges don't handle that yeah it's not gonna be far enough so you're not gonna have fine it's not even close to three four all right that's the end of my turn then we all flex on them again all right okay man one two three he is going to move forward and he is going to use lightning arc let's see if he saves yes it so he is going to strike at Hondo and Duncan Jesus Christ please please please please fuck that'll hit Hondo that's not a crate 40 to Hondo that await wait a second I'm dead I'm dead no you're not wait what is half he's not he's he's not dead just 35 is half of 70 I think so he is like two hit points away from being dead or one hit point away from being dead oh my god thirty six five I think he's dead no he's not seventy three to five of my two is thirty six point five it is don't you can't you round up though it doesn't no wait wait wait let's break out the calculator it is it's right he's dead no break out the calculator I did break out the calculator so what is it now is it 35 or 36 36 36.5 but we don't you take that you round down doesn't even matter what do you mean like autumn so that lightning strike just killed Honda I'm so sorry fuck there's no um what about like doesn't he get chances like get it back up no no no yeah I produced him to negative half his health that's it that is an outright death um that is the end of lower weavers turn when I he takes five damage done yes he is the og so he takes five oh he's got a save against that 12 he did not die of that five damage that's it doesn't have to does he have to roll save against mine - yeah just two other safe no he has one slow to save yeah that's one okay so he did save against but she's no longer slowed well he was cuz until then in my next turn but that's not matter he is going to he's gonna use lightning arc against Duncan and yin word but let's see if he can actually make the attack yep wait a second she just frustratedly that will that will hit Duncan that will hit you inward God Duncan's down to four hit points um draconis your turn all right okay all right seeing a hondo just get fucking like he got electrocute like oh okay here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna fucking scream out he can't see you right now if you scream he's gonna see I don't give a fuck here he goes okay I'm gonna hold both hands down to each side and start conjuring a little fireball I'll put it right here all right and actually no I'm not gonna put that right there that's not right I'm gonna put it right here right on this motherfucker and that is going to do this right here and I'm going to I'm just gonna let out is it a burst three or five burst three okay so you'll be able to hit two of them okay yeah one two three yeah I'm zoomed out like yeah stop stop Diana throwing a fit we can hear her sorry sorry I'm back anything happened timeout I could I couldn't hit the other dude I have to put it right I have to put it right here actually I couldn't hit the other guy you're not gonna hit them both no matter what yeah I know all three of them she had these two okay alright so here we go I let out a fireball rolling against this dude first miss that's fine um that'll miss it's fine it does half so miss okay and so I need to roll I want why can't I click half damage there it is half nine okay so that did well no it you only know huh you you it's flat damage oh I don't go for each one okay sorry no all right so nine damaged each of them and as as I'm catching I just want to let out a big big huge growling you motherfucker that's I fucking just hurled a fireball at him even though it only did nine damage all right Duncan your turn yep um okay I will use we get the plumber size right guys no one's I think I can get I can get plus why a little late plus five to it okay fine it's hard to try I guess I will heal myself so I'll use a majestic word on me um that is 2d6 plus 5 I believe um you know where you can't loot them um 2d6 plus 5 yeah so let's do that 11 so I get a healing surge plus 11 32 so not as bad as I was and then I guess I will use him of the daring um I got a plus two on this because of my last thing um one two five six okay I can exactly big guy so I'm going to do him of the daring on soul reaver it's not letting me there it is okay to roll it it's a hit um so that gives me this amount of damage on soul reaver roll it 24 damage okay um I will well as yin word moves closer I will move further away I'll be back here see you guys Walker Diana your turn um okay um I am oh by the way I'm sorry he slowed again he slowed again okay okay because every time I every time I get titty gets loaded again so right so I'm gonna use a luxury wall I think that's the best option I have here so up to eight squares long so hold on one six seven eight okay yes so that's two of them at least but um it's up to eight four squares high it lasts till the end of my next turn and less I sustain but the wall blocks light of sight for all enemies but not for allies and when it moves and when enemy moves adjacent to the wall I can make an attack so oh and it can and also the tart okay never mind never mind yeah could you is there a chance I'm sorry if this is this metagame and you can stop me is there a chance you could get the other one because yin word and I are the ones I guess Draconis has damage against him soon something never mind they can't see me though oh yeah no hold on yeah that's a good point so I'll leave that if that's okay yeah they have they have no idea where we're at over here boom and so that's used I don't know if there's anything else I can use yeah I don't have anything so I'm just gonna hold on okay I'm gonna move up here and my turn cost it the heart of that hit me yeah okay here's what we're gonna do also do I need to save against being blind or yes you do oh I forgot to do that we haven't been factoring that into attacks either oh I did an attack I never attacked okay well then you're fine so yeah save against being blind oh that was not a d20 that wasn't that wasn't a d20 whole 17 20 there that's 20 that's it well Jesus I am very not going super not perform you lay safe on yourself right lower wafer copy number one is going to pop arcane gate oh right that put by me put that course oh crap like that since he can't see me there's no reason for moving over towards me because he's not moving I know I'm just so he's still new we were worried despite the fact that the thing was up well he's still you didn't move okay yeah the wall just went up it's not you're not visible or anything he's gonna use arcing light lightning arc again crap that will hit yin word that will hit Duncan Duncan's going down looks everybody know he is within two spaces of me and my armor says that uh all enemies within two squares of me take five damage of the same type when I take lightning or thunder damage Wow so suck I'm dick lore Weaver please die please die right now because a storm render is also going to eat eat five of this lightning oh sort of acting as a lightning rod 27 damage to dunk okay so when lore Weaver takes this damage the the other two you're gonna see through the illusionary wall are going to flinch just like this version okay that's that's good to know you're to attack the coffee ease yin word your turn okie dokie you have whatever it is just kill him please the fucking is that chill wait hold on is Stan Syrian I think he was joking okay no I was just trying to get a show again yeah he wouldn't be able to tell us if his internet was out through here yeah that's I don't know I am going to route strike against the lower reaver clone and that that is a that will be 6d 10 plus 8 damage 42 damage versus lower weaver wait is that a clone or is that that should fucking kill him that's a clone call the phone or she killed the corner something taking the same damage remember that's sure pop an action point yes yes okay so I'm gonna pop my action point and I'm gonna use my bull charge and try to shovel horn is good before you do that after the first after the first attack he's just going to look look up at yin word with absolute disdain filthy mindless beast okay I'd like to spit in his face and oh shit just a fucking cow spit right in his fucking strongest attack whatever you have him that was the spit that was the move that was toxic action point okay so it's just a matter of acid is attacking his fortitude a bad idea uh I think I hit it relatively well I don't know how high your move is but D 20 plus 18 and that's the best movie got go for it well I can I can hit him with it another okay you know what I'll just I will use bone crusher I wanted to save that for the real one but whatever this one's yes I see yeah wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait you have the 12 you have the 12 Duncan I had the 12 the damage not oh yeah I do have the 12 yeah I have a 12 yeah the 12 yeah so I roll a d12 no I have a 12 instead of rolling a 4 you roll to 12 so whatever that would be that would hit oh nice cool okay I lost my thing trying to scroll down to my lucky charm yeah that's right I forgot about that okay that's another 6d 10 plus 8 it's not rolling hmm can you roll it manually oh it's because I missed on the table oh yeah cuz it was not gonna leave yeah yeah so yeah sorry guys I'm 60 10 it's all good 42 42 damage and he's vulnerable tense weapon attacks to listen this is going to rock him well we were is going to stagger back and sort of drop to one knee and and sort of defiantly fucking spit blood at the ground and then look up to yen word and through the illusionary wall you're gonna see the other two lower weavers look toward yen word are you done I know I'd like to use my minor action to drink a potion please that allows me to use a healing surge oh no this it'll it's a 2d 8 plus well I have in my little thing here it says a potion of cured it's cut off yeah yeah no it's a token could you give him the extra 12 damage thing there did you already use that this time no no I didn't use ultra fate yet oh okay sorry oh no not that I mean I could you wants to use it's not really extra 12 it's an extra d12 well actually 12 but it's something just anything at this point I was gonna wait for a crit but like go ahead why can't I use my healing search it's not the healing search isn't tied to the potion we've been reading it wrong it says you drink the potion if you have a healing surge you must spend one yeah it acts like you're spending a healing surge but you're not getting the value okay yeah okay everyone if you want to use d12 go ahead and use the real do it do it okay so tell me what to do just roll these walls well all right that is five extra damage to the little weaver get up did he kill no hot now what about my potion okay roll 2d8 oh I got you what's that I see it was cut off 19 okay 19 damage to you or night sorry 19 health 19 health do you know all right top of the order lore Weaver him oh did he get to save against my thing oh no he didn't five damage five damage would be anticlimactic if that's how he died I don't care if it's anticlimactic no not slowed no not slowed okay one two I'm assuming if you need a Jason to the wall I'm sort of looking at that now I think he's gonna move around okay well if he's moving to the wall I have to make it wait I think it's as if he ends his turn adjacent to the wall is it when an enemy moves adjacent to the wall you can make an attack against the target if successful the target cannot move through the wall on its current turn but can try again on later turns oh that's if he's trying to pass okay he's okay okay sorry I just um no no two three four five six Laurie was gonna use puppet master no God we're so close you need to go this would kill this motherfucker he's done yet what are gonna be 34 versus yenwards will yanward is dominated save ends okay and weavers can look to him stupid savage let's see what your brute strength can do to your party hmm I want that your coat is hidden with everything you just he's just gonna drool and be slack-jawed he's gonna look over the party weaver copy number this is number two okay don't you guys fucking kill me I swear to God we're not gonna attack you be dumb try not to I'm about to be dead so doesn't matter cuz you can't see anybody else oh he's gonna use brilliant flash versus Duncan damn god that is a hits 29 damage to Duncan Duncan is going to go down later good well the good thing is it's not like yanward can run over and hit you here to come this I can run over draconis your turn yeah it's my turn all right I'm gonna melt these no-good sons of bitches I'm gonna cast fountain of flame right here all right that's a burst one within ten so that's going right here okay here we go I'm gonna go for this dude right here first hit that is a hit at the hit to miss it does have damage still so okay right now we're going for damage here we go this is it 21 21 20 fucking one melt you son of a bitch all three of these copies are going to burst into flames and he is going to shriek in unison and after a few moments he is going to drop to the ground a smoldering corpse thank God Jesus Christ oh that wasn't Duncan because Duncan is down so I'm poor potion on my mouth as soon as as soon as he drops Diana's is gonna run over to Hondo or honda's body am I bet might have I come to I would say that you have snapped out of it after he dies did I get home you got him guys I think that's a pretty good time for us to stop for the night yeah I I am really sorry Delmar that sucks no man it happens yeah yeah he's dead you died a hero and you will be remembered as such don't worry I just asked that you guys don't defile my corpse continue on my good work and please don't do me please don't do me she's I want this is the first person that she's ever like felt any sort of attachment to she's not going to take this well that she's also not letting what's touch and it's well we'll find out next episode it's not it's not gonna be pretty but yeah oh I don't I can't see resurrection as a window here but if I am buried bury me by the sea if if I am to be cremated cremate me and spread my ashes by the sea that's all I ask of you I don't love the sea yeah remember Jason just said resurrection is gonna be a lot more difficult yeah next year I don't think record before Tuesday or Wednesday well it's not that it's gonna be the resurrection itself the rules are gonna be the same there's just gonna be little tweaks to it that the consequences are gonna be a little higher the actual being able to resurrection that I think they're I think they're tough enough it's just little things like the damage is gonna scale a little higher so there is the threat of outright dying attempting it that kind of if there is a good yeah I'm saying if if there is a god and like the fact that I I've realized that I follow the Raven Queen she's probably gonna be really pissed at me because I've cheated death a lot and that's not what we're supposed to do oh man like I he Emperor Palpatine like straight up in in the in the Senate room when um Samuel Jackson finds out that he's the Emperor and then he just electrocutes him that's what happened to me he died he died by being burned alive if that's any consolation it's not a pleasant death sure Kona's got three notables today yeah I was actually thinking that Tom was gonna come in there and soup the kill to be honest with you I thought it was too it was for lack of trying bastard I'll get it next time I know you your Congress deserve one after I got Carter is that was the epic those the most epic mess ever blowing flames out like right past them by the window yeah all right guys let me jump off here I got a twitch video in a few minutes so gosh I will I will talk to you guys later yeah you guys take care everybody see you guys I cry myself to sleep now
