Fit to Burst

Let's do that thing where we go around the table and introduce ourselves! I'm Jason! And for the very last time for group invasion, I'm the Dungeon Master going around the table starting with our group leader, Kelsey! Hi, I'm Kelsey, they/them, and for the last time I am playing Calypso Lovelace, they/them, the half-elf bard. And skipping a jam session to be with this group. James! That'd be funny if you said someone else, but... I mean, I don't know one's... I mean, we all get that jam session to be... Hey, it's James playing Dagon, the Aladdin Endurant.

And Valerie. Hello, I'm Valerie Shehert and I'm playing Matilda Wolfram, the human rogue. That was very Asmur, you came and it's like, "Hello." Like, you just like... It's my new thing. I can get closer to the mic if you want. Why'd you wait till the last episode to do that? I'm trying to add something new, just your time. Let's keep it fresh, guys. And Michael! Hello, I am Michael and I play Fenris Masura, the warlock charlatan. And last and certainly not least, the thin, the fit, the trim, Ian. Hello, the smelt. Ian the smelt. Hi, I'm Ian, he, him, any, and for the last time I will be playing Bittersweet, he, they.

It is bittersweet. It is bittersweet. Full circle, baby. We've come around. Fade and endurance. Can't wait. Well, each one of the group's finales have been interesting in that they all wrapped up in a different way. Pac-Man wrapped up really peacefully and we're still posting the rest of the episodes, I don't want to, you know, but... You guys are going out with a fight. This is just it. The elite have essentially decided to deal with this problem by forming this conglomeration, this mass and coming together to attack you. And we're going to get more into it.

But as you know what, everybody do me a favor. Give me an arcana check, please. Let's kick things off with a roll. Let's do it. Let's let's shake the rust off these dice. Oh, shit. Cabal. No arcana for me, I guess. It's just the first roll. This is just shit. OK, that makes sense. Dagon's up there with a twenty two. Fenris with an eight. Twelve. Bittersweet with an eighteen. Calypso with a fifteen. Matilda with an eight. So that banging you're going to hear is is is loud enough for the entire house to almost feel it, even including everyone in the basement. So getting everyone in one central location is going to be the first priority.

Right. And I imagine even Dagon is kind of dragging Tani upstairs. She is losing a lot of blood. And we'll deal with that in just a second. You guys are on the first floor of this complex. You know that they're coming. You know what's happening. And there's going to be this sparking, this this this discharge of energy in the house, in a big open first floor area. And you can see something coalescing, something coming together. And it is this heaping mass of tentacles. So as these little sparks of of energy kind of like pop off, it's going to almost illuminate these tentacles like it was always here.

But it's it's being shown to you for the first time, which is probably more just a it's it's it's it's it's probably just the energy in the house. It makes it feel like that. But this is definitely an invading force. And you can you can feel that with a higher kind of check. You're going to see that this is something otherworldly. It is most likely something that the elite found at some point or exploited. And it kind of fits in with the theme of this mansion. You could kind of like Abernathy may have taken something like this from them, or maybe he helped them get to this.

But them being able to call forth this otherworldly creature and kind of bind themselves to it in order for it to solve their problems is probably some horrible otherworldly underground pact thing. But this thing is going to appear in the foyer. And let's let's pop it on the battlefield. Just like that, huh? Just like that. Well, you mentioned the people with the higher kana check. Like they know that it's otherworldly. How does Matilda interpret this with an eight? A monster? Yeah, no. How does Matilda feel about tentacles? That's she keeps that private to herself.

That's fair. And for the AD account. Yes, that is very fair, honestly. But in in a fantasy world like Theria, that's not a weird kink. I'm just going to let you know. The meat and potatoes of that world. Like also furries run free in Theria. Very vanilla in Theria. It's a good mission. Things like this. That's just the people only my wife would die in Theria of dehydration. It's just it's you know, it's important to understand context. Anyway. Hey, I'm going to. So how does this feel like in otherworldliness? Oh, OK. Compared to the the thing from the in-between place, the mage hunter.

Oh, it. Oh, very, very remedy. They went to the same high school. Definitely. Gotcha. Mm hmm. That's a full body pic. Smash. You hover over it. There's a small. Cute. Yeah, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So is that kind of everybody at home? That's what a thetan stomach looks like, right? For everybody at home. It's like a lot of tentacles, spiky tentacles. Lots of it's really not that many tentacles. It has the ability to. Well, it has the ability to take a tentacle and then split the tentacle into smaller like party favors like like it has the ability to do that. So is this a is this a Therian creation?

Like is this art from somewhere or did we commission this? We did not commission this. I am very broke. But in the future, I would love to. This is an approximate. It's like this is pretty close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like I always like a circular mouth with rows of teeth. Who doesn't? You know? Yeah. Hackfish. And how how tall would you say this lamprey? This thing is as I would say, like 20 feet. It's it's largely going to be a fairly octopus like. So it's going to be kind of spread out. But if it were to stand up, it would be in the second floor of how the spiral staircase goes up.

It would it would be able to like see you. It's like, oh, it could just pop that on top of someone's head. Let's get it. It's like definitely it's fighting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's to scale in that it is monstrously big. So, yes, it would be great. It is gargantuan for those at home. So it could eat one of you whole. Especially like a tanny. I'm just going to that's I'm going to prepare. So what happens if we put we throw one of the scions in and then it goes exploding. Right. That's the that's the classic sort of sharp teeth at the opening there, though. Yeah, that's the thing.

If you get past that disposal. Like that. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's got to be nothing but net. Yeah. Anybody who's going to three pointers. You punch out the teeth and then I'll jump in. Hey, how can I get as this is the pull out all the stops, you know, final battle. How can I get dumpy in this initiative? Well, it's very big and strong. Well, not very big, but he's very strong. He does pack a punch. So here's what I can do. If you hit this creature with a melee attack at any time, Dumpy will be able to to attempt to jump on it and we'll see what happens. Oh, no.

OK. Don't be makes a heroic sacrifice. I'm going to cry. I'll start crying. Yeah, that's the thing. He's he's very strong, but for it's all in proportion to a rat. I'm saying like I think he has one hit. It's OK. We're all going to die. No, we're all going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. Your chance to kill it. Would it be amazing? Look, wouldn't this be amazing if opening round you guys worked on talking the SWAT team tactics of a group B back in the day, you just a group to just just wreck shit.

We're kicking things off with the collapse, actually. We're going to do a thing first. All right. So tennis hurt bad and is bleeding like she is going to take continuous damage until healed. So she's going to take nine damage and cast gorge. You target a creature and market. It's going to be this thing when the spell is active, whenever damage is dealt within a hundred feet of the marked creature, half the damage value is added to the targets, hit points, causing it to swell in size. If the creatures hit points double its original value, it ruptures and explodes.

Oh, that's wild because it's like giving it more HP, but at a cost. Yeah, counts as temporary hit points. That's good at least. Yeah, they're banked kind of. It's a weird system. It's like everything's one and a half damage. Sort of. Kind of, yeah. No, I think this is definitely a good move because it just says any damage done within it, so like damage it does to us is being counted against it in a way. That's true. It's not only the damage we're doing to it. Exactly. Yes. Yeah. So every time it does damage, it's going to like, you know, parts of its body are going to overfill with blood and yeah, or whatever this thing has.

So nine damage to Tani. So she is going to like she's coated in blood and she's just gonna like kind of keep channeling it and sucking this out. This thing is very marked. You can kind of see this faint bloody mist surround it. And boy, that's going to be her turn. Bittersweet is up. I've got a question, too, about about the kids or at least what they were doing. I remember they were they like pushed the doors together or something like that. They did. Can you clarify that a little bit or like what what that is or like what that might be? I'm assuming it's some kind of portal or something, but I don't know what might be for.

It very much seems like a work in progress as they were doing it. So it you didn't get a chance to to stick around to the end of that before this thing showed up. So it's like, oh, you know, so as we go through this fight each round, we're going to go back to the children and see what they're doing. Got it. That's the best way I could kind of get that across while not leaving the fight completely. Got it. Got it. OK, cool. So it kind of looks like we're like up on the second floor landing on these stairs. Is that correct? Yeah. Can I jump out and like land on this thing?

You can try. Yeah. I don't want to try. Yeah, shit. I'm going to try to just leap at it. Yeah, that's like some shit right there. Somehow you decapitated it. Would that be amazing? Got a blundered knife in his face and drag it all the way down to the floor. Get that control that the aspect of Masuoka. Yeah. Just don't have knives in its dimensions, but never saw that coming as a threat. I was expecting tentacles. Where's yours? Yeah. What you want me to what you want me to do? What you want me to do for. So I would imagine you're running to the edge of this, this the second story landing and you are just making an acrobatics check.

And then tell me we need to see how successful that check is. Yeah. If you benefit, we have a problem. Yeah. Yeah. You're not going to know. And then we're going to paint a picture. So give me an acrobatics check. Not with a dexterity of plus one. I'm not going to be this. Are you kidding me? Oh, that's a plus baby. All right. Here we go. Let's go. Yeah. Unfortunately, I'm acrobatics is not Christmas. Just falls off of the landing. I swear to God, if you make me waste that spell slot, I could be so mad. So this thing. So you're going to run up to this, this and probably mistime it a little bit.

I'm going to look at Calypso to like they give me this like, you know, little magical thing. And I like give them a nod real quick, like we're going to do this. And then I just start running to the banister. Knives. Yeah. Yeah. Like you ever watch this happened in school, usually like freshman year of high school. You're you're standing around and people are like jumping up on things and they just mistime it by an inch. And I picture you in your head. You're like, oh, I totally I'm going to jump on to this railing and leap off. And you're your boot just drags a little bit.

You're like, yeah. And you're going to tumble over the side. And this thing is going to try and catch you with its tentacle with one of its tentacles. OK, good. We love that. Give me a dexterity save, actually. You got it. On a successful save, we're going to do something on a bad save. We're also going to do something. Here we go. Dex save. Let's go. There's cracking glass and tiles theme. Dropped off a 20. Play like three times. The truth is out there. Let's go. So you're going to tumble over this railing, but luckily your blades are still out as you cartwheel down.

This thing is going to try and grab you with its tentacle and you're going to slice into it twice. Yes. I want you to roll critical damage for your your your knives, please. Oh, OK. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. OK. Yes. Yes. Yes, I will. If you just click on it like you're going to attack and then just roll damage. Do you have blades? I have a spear. That's good. We can call. Oh, there we go. Damage. Here we go. Critical hit. Let's go. Critical. Well, that's OK. Well, that's a one and a two, but that's still damage, baby. Sick. Yes. OK, cool. Yeah. I want to get like you're going to land.

Yeah. Just land right on your feet in front of it. OK, awesome. That's that's pretty sick. All right. Yeah. Just like tearing down with the spear, just like run, run, run, trip, jump over the thing, like stab the spear in as its tentacle, like try to like curl around me and then just like pull it down as I come down to my feet at the bottom of the stairwell. It wasn't graceful, but I got there. It looked really cool. I was like, that was so cool. I don't know if we saw it because I feel like from our perspective, we just saw him run off the side. And then like the monster made a little bit of a noise, I think.

If you picture the monster's eyes at eye level with you guys, him falling off, like you'll probably see it at the very least, like react. It's like that type of thing. You know, it'll make a noise like something like that, like, you know, that you are up. Oh, what? I'm going to activate my aura. That's the last thing I'm going to do as a bonus action. OK. And all that does is right now, I don't know how helpful this is going to be, but just for FYI, it grants all allies standing within it. Five feet, five feet of you, an additional one d8 necrotic damage to your attacks.

So you kind of got to be close, but right beside you. Yeah. Right. Five feet. Five feet. Yeah. Right beside. Matilda is not going to go right beside you because I think her only option would be run down the stairs and get over to you or also jump off. She's a gymnast. No, sadly she isn't. OK, so unfortunately, Matilda is not much of a fighter. But she's going to do her best and throw books at it. I don't know if I have to say that I'm doing insightful fighting before or after I actually hit because it's it's just a bonus action that lets me. I get to use my sneak attack damage if the target loses on a deception check.

So I don't know if you want to do that first or after I hit, because if I don't even hit, then whatever, you know, why? Why would it roll a deception check? That's I don't know. That's what it says. Wait, what? What are you trying to do? I'm making sorry. I as a bonus action, I can make an insight check against a creature I can see that isn't incapacitated, contested by the target's deception check. Oh, so, OK, the way to read that is, oh, you're trying to read it like read it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're you're trying to it's like, oh, it's moving his tentacle in a way that I can guess where it's going to you know what I mean?

It's space invaders. You're shooting it where they're going to be, not where they are. Gotcha. OK, so I'll roll deception. It's mysterious. And I guess we'll roll insight. That's terrible. OK, yours is better. No, no. No. OK, well, he is mysterious. It is honestly that goes hand in hand with your arcana check. It's like, ew, like it's not like, oh, this is another worldly thing. It's like, hmm, don't like that. OK, so he doesn't know about this one, but she'll still take out her short bow and see if she can hit it. Oh, that will hit. Perfect. That was a four and rolled over to an eleven. 16 hits.

Since bittersweet is adjacent, do you get sneak attack? You know what? No, what is if another enemy of the target? Oh, is it within five feet of it? Yeah. Bittersweet's not friends. That's how rage sneak attack works. Believe me, I know that. There was one arc where I'm like, Chelsea, I'm going to fucking hit you. No, I'm pretty sure that was the arc one. I'm pretty sure that was it. Let's not get her in trouble. I don't think anything that I've done has been as bad as Diana. Luck. It was a different time. I mean, for he got a luck too well. That was the problem.

Well, so here is the shortbow damage. Seven damage and then sneak attack damage. Let's go. Nice. Plus nine damage. 16 total. I'll take it. So you're going to notice as you're doing this damage that one of its tentacles is kind of getting lumpy instead of that. Right. Kind of like it's like blood boils are kind of popping up on it. And you can it's stretching its skin thin enough that you can see the liquid beneath in areas. So, yeah, no, it's not. It is on pleasant. Does it seem to be like hampering the creatures movement or just not yet or not yet? Right. Yeah, I would I would just said I would consider it an invasive rash.

It's like, oh, we should get that checked out. But like not enough to it's like, don't call it a work, but like get that checked out when you can. Dagon. How are you? OK, good. Good. Just, you know, trying to figure out what I'm going to do here. First thing on my attributes page, there is a giant checkmark in a giant X. Yeah, I don't know why I have that, too. I think that's a glitch. I thought that was from the enhance ability. I better not start clicking things because. No, no, no, no, no, not you. You didn't do it. That's definitely OK. So I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm going to look down at. I assume she's like kneeling down or so, maybe not. He's going to grab probably hunched over at this point, just like he's going to grab a bloodied hand in his hand. And just say we're not going down without a plate. And I'm going to spend two further points. Bonus action, the aura. Anyone within five feet, namely Tani right now. You'll get an extra attack when you score a critical strike. It will not drag over. We're going to do it manually. We'll do it live. OK, so I hit you do 3d4 plus your charisma modifier force damage. If you miss your target, you have a minus penalty minus two penalty to your next attack roll.

It would be your charisma modifier plus your proficiency bonus, which is a four. Twelve is just going to miss. I'm sorry, I will be quiet from. You're on. No, no, no. This is good. This is good. OK. Remember what that does. It's kind of calling your shot. All right. OK. You do get a bonus attack. Yeah, I'll take I'll take that. So that'll just be a force punch or force blast. Part of the patch for endurance is when you when you do a charge, you get back to D4 instead of one. Oh, holy shit. Twenty two will definitely hit. Nice. Excellent. I just hit the damage in there now, too.

That's it. Max damage 15. Nice. Nice. OK. Mm hmm. Dagon's worried, really worried. Whether he'll admit it or not about Tani. And this giant, gross beast in front of them. So if it's a bonus action. Like to grow old, a god, die. Did you use a bonus action to activate your aura? Yeah. Can have two bonus actions. Since when? 2014. I take back the aura. I know I actually have to use a bonus action to do that. OK. All right. Well, edit that part out. Fenris. Fenris, you're up. All right. Well, seeing Tani bleeding more than normal is actually going to come over here and run up to her.

And that's the other secret part of my plan. All right. Here we go. 13. 13 hit points. Very much appreciated. She is going to stop bleeding. And she's she's pretty pale at this at this point. Just thank you. Like kind of raspy. But yeah, no, that that's. That that that could save her. Yeah, that's amazing. Thank you. So it's like purple and blue, like light that goes around her, kind of like patching her up as it is. But she's still very much hurt. Then he looks over and sees this monstrosity, forgets him and casts Bane. And so it's a DC 16 charisma saving throw.

For bittersweet, you're attacking him or no, it's the big monstrosity. Fair. 24. OK. Yeah, very charismatic. Did you see those tentacles? I can tell. I want to be its friend. This is one of those intrusive thoughts and I like cut it out. But when I look at the profile picture for this monster, all I see is. I don't know why. I don't know why. He looks like a derp. A little derpy, but on his planet, he's he's quite the cat. Yeah. He's like fresh Los Angeles lobster. He is inside out. Yeah. What else are we doing, Michael? I think that's all I can do. What is that already, James?

I know if you've got a crit, you get an extra attack. OK. So I can do. OK, that's OK. That's OK. It's a marathon, not a sprint, baby. Well, we'll see after this. Oh, shit. The horror is turned. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's well, see how short this marathon is. To have marathon. Oh, boy. OK. It's going to try and bite. Bittersweet right off the bat. Yeah. Yeah. That tracks. Oh, my God, that's a two. At 14, does it hit you? It does. I think that it might still. Yeah. Yeah. It does. OK. But I have the dodge. I have dodge. I have the dodge. I have improved combat role, so that's a minus three, negative three, instead of a negative two, which means he misses.

Yeah. Yes, it does. He misses by one. Yeah. He's going to come down here and just just barely miss. And he's going to take two of these giant tentacles. And he's got some reach with these bad boys. I don't know why. It looks like he has puppy dog eyes or something like they look too nice. It's the blue. Blue eyes. You know what it is? Yeah. Yeah. It's just black, blonde black. He's got a 30 foot reach with these tentacles. Oh, my. Oh, my. Yeah. So let's swing it. Fenris first. Oh, OK. That's cool. It's just, you know, you're the closest. You're exactly 30. That's a 29 hit.

I'm sorry. I got it. Here's your improved combat dodge. Wow. Wow. That was OK. So a one and a two. I rolled real low. That's only nine damage. And the the staircase portion up there, he's going to go straight through it. So not Fenris, but everything in front of Fenris is gone. That is a hole now. Cool. Yeah. OK. And now Calypso. 21. Yeah, I mean, that's 21 on a nine. Oh, yeah. That hits. Oh, my God. Almost max damage. 17. OK. But OK. And. Jeez. Oh, I need to do a concentration. Oh, yeah, you do. Oh, geez. That's a 17. You're fine. That is the end of this thing's turn and the end of round one.

Ding, ding. So before we roll, I need a volunteer. And everyone's probably going to get a chance to roll here. I think we should start with Kels because Kels is the leader of the group. What am I doing? You're rolling for the willpower of the children to fight back. No pressure. The D20. Just a D20. Three. OK, well, this can. Yeah, they've been away for a long, long time. So it's them trying to. So remember how I said that there's this crackling energy when this thing comes in? It is interrupting the flow of energy in the house and it's making it more difficult for them to kind of be corporeal and be not in that liminal space with, you know, just the empty nothingness and the cold dark.

So rerolling calypso is kicking us off. Oh, my God. Why are my good rolls going to initiative? OK. Yeah, so I guess what Calypso is going to do is just. I mean. First of all, probably. Back up a step. No, let's just get away from this. I hold the floor out and then. Going to. Use a. So like has has their violin out, just make like makes a really bad, awful noise to try and use a vicious mockery on this thing. Let's see. It has to make a wisdom saving throw. Right. Yes, that's that's right. I was like, where's the button to make roll, but it needs to make a wisdom saving throw.

OK. Yeah. 18. Yeah. Yeah. That'll settle. Yeah. It's a big nasty. OK. So unfortunately, the only real attack that I have, but OK. This is a flaw in five. It's why we're we're going to advanced five. It's a DM bitch move, and I'm not going to use it because it's it's a fucking cop out and it's called legendary resistance. I get three of these, which is any time I fail a saving throw, I succeed instead. I just say I did it. You're already rolling. It's the biggest cop out. It is the laziest fucking design choice I've ever seen in my life. It's interesting. So I'll just make them longer.

Yes. Like, yeah. Yeah. It's it's such a. So I'm not I will. I'm not doing that. I feel dirty when I do it. And then but that obviously having no effects like side and then like turn to Tani and play a nicer sounding song on on their violin and a little bit of a gold like a golden butterfly is going to form out of magic and fly over to Tani. And I'm going to use on that's keeping word at. That's actually a good use of that third level. I don't have any spells in there that can. Oh, yeah. Thank you. So now I roll. Oh, my God. That's almost Max. Yeah. Fifteen. Nice.

Fifteen. She's no longer bloodied. Yeah. So to speak. Oh, she's still covered in blood. Yes. Anything else? She's she's going to look renewed like that's going to kind of perk her up for a bit and just. Oh, thank you. And she's going to like this, this kind of mischievous like look in her eyes like, oh, fuck, we can do things now. And she's going to slap Dagon right on the ass to reassure him. And she's going to say, go get a baby. And she is going to move forward and cast Iron Helps Us Play. And she's going to select three party members. And that is going to be Fenris, Calypso and Bittersweet, obviously.

Choose up to three creatures within 30 feet of you. Each targeted creature gains a bonus to its armor class equal to half its base hit die value. This effect lasts for one minute or until a successful attack is made against the target. That's a big like a big yeah. Please don't hit me. I'll take that. That's a plus four to AC for a full minute. That's 10 rounds of combat. And I figured bittersweet. She she probably figured it's like, OK, bittersweet probably needs that the most. But who else just got hit by these fucking because everything in combat like teaches you it's like, OK, don't get close.

Then the thing just goes, hey, and goes downtown with its fucking tentacles. And that is going to eat up. Five hit points, but five hit points. Well spent. Fenris, you are up. I get one to eat as well. So that's sick. OK. With this renewed feeling of, well, it's still scary as hell. But seeing that Tani is feeling better, he sees that his buddy bittersweeds out there and getting hurt and, you know, really taking on this account that he's the tank of this group. Taking on that role for role play mechanically. One hundred percent. I have all the hit points on this group.

It makes you feel any better. Like there's blood armor on you now. It kind of feels like, you know, like bad. Basically, it looks cool. So she reaches out his hand and purple spectra are going around it. His dagger is now there and then it just grows and becomes this like a falcon like blade. And using a bonus action, he conjures his shadow blade. Which, OK. And then he is going to look badass and jump down and come up. Oh, hell yeah. Can I get an acrobatics check, please? Yeah. Come and join me. You will do this much better than than me, I'm sure. Oh my God, that was the last of two.

Holy shit. So that's yeah, that's a 20 and a 26 for the attack. So what Bittersweet was aiming for, I feel you pull off. And it's it's it's probably due to like one, there's a big hole in the floor now. So there's no banister to leap off of. And also it's like, OK, a little higher, whatever I think it is. Jump higher. So I want to say he like he looks cool and collected. So he like literally jumps, but like not even looking, but tries to look as cool as possible. And then he rushes up and like stabs the thing. The attempted collides with the move. Oh, but it's it's mad at me for what I moved it.

Oh, no, no, no. You're fine. I got you. Thank you. And it's a bit don't forget your necrotic damage, too. I was just going to say when you're rolling damage, you get one D eight extra. And. Oh, OK, well, that's a one. That's OK. You got to look badass like you're doing great. That's extra damage. Yes. And I'm rolling this at a fifth level slot, which does damage of 48 pieces. I don't want to change this to be the right. I'll just roll to I'll just use the standard thing. Let's do that. That's for. Yeah. Yeah. I think because you're a warlock and automatically uses the highest like slot, it probably why I used the manual thing because it just showed me to eight.

And so I just. Oh, yeah, that's fine. Well, that's 12 damage total. And you're so interestingly, these postules, right? These these blood boil type things. You're going to see faces swirl around in there. This is fucking this is fucking with its its corporeal nature. So instead of the elite being more of a like kind of an amalgamation within it, what's their physically manifesting in it? They're starting to be pulled into this thing. It is a horrific. So they're not they're not quite themselves and they're not quite the creature. So both beings are trying to occupy the same space in time.

And it is if this doesn't get rectified soon by them, they'll at best, they'll drown in this creature's blood. The one drawback. Yeah. Never happened to them. Like like like Tanny spells, probably not something they would have been able to account for. And it's like instead of trying to hurt it, it's like pushing more into it. And that would be like, yeah, that's like not what the spell is prepared for in med school. So it's having really bad effects on it. Oh, man. And it's not like obviously every time it hits one of you, anytime, anytime, anytime Tanny does damage to herself, it contributes to this thing.

So it's getting worse and worse and worse as it gets larger, like it's contributing to its size. Eventually, it's going to go up a size beyond gargantuan. On that note. Oh, yeah, I guess it's the cosmic horror's turn, right? Yeah. Her. Don't make it fun. Jesus, psychic whispers. Each creature within 60 feet of the cosmic horror must make good. Must make a DC 21 wisdom saving. Oh, my goodness. All right. All going to fail. And I is my inspiration work on that. I can't possibly roll. Inspiration can. I think I can't roll 21. So I can know a D8 and then add it to my saving.

Right. Yes. OK, so I'm going to just because I just have bad feeling. Six. That's good. Yeah. You might be the only one who saves. Maybe. Just for fun. Oh, my. Oh, that was so close. And let's see what we do here. Wait, Fenris makes it, I think so close plus six. Yeah. Fenris makes it 22. Shit. Yeah. OK, so this is going to be. Oh, shit. Yeah. There's no way her wisdom is not. No, she's not a wisdom based character. She's all charisma. To. Who is that smack on the ass? Why is now that you have a plus five to wisdom? You automatically get. So she's she's got a 12 wisdom. So that's a plus.

It's one of her space saving throw. So that's why. Shit. It's wisdom and charisma. So she gets a plus four to it. OK. That's the only thing that saved her. Well, it's going to suck. OK. Remember, top pocket real loose. Just a big circle boy, a big boy. No, everyone who failed. There's no half damage on this, but everyone who failed the saving throw is going to take. Hachi machi. 26 damage down now. Jokes on you. Now, 26 damage times what, four divided in two is what is the blood that's going to be pumped back into this creature? Oh, now I can I have uncanny dodge so I can use my reaction to have the damage ready.

No, I think. Well, is it? Let's see. Hold on a second. Let's see. I hope it's not. I hope I'm wrong. I don't know if it matters when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack. You can use this reaction. Yeah, that's an attack. Hell yeah. Yeah. Have that damage. So that's what I love. Rolling rolling saves your brain. Like the damage. So it's 26 times three plus 13, whatever that is. You went to college. Help me. See. Ninety one. Holy shit. Hit points get pumped into. Oh, God. OK. It's for me when you should have because I saved. I'm not going to bother to read the concentrations.

I'm so sorry. So sorry. I got you. Hold on. Yeah. Are you kidding me? You for that? And risk never gets hit. We should all know that. You're welcome. Federalists. You saved me. It was your confidence in me. OK, well, Kelsey, does your enhanced ability is that gone now? I'm out. Sorry. I'm sorry. Just had to use your spear instead of doing. You know, the thing is, I could have done another attack using charisma, but I forgot I forgot. Wow. Wow. This is what I get for for using a spell. Yeah. Well, it's bigger. Oh, my God. So that one is just going to keep swelling. It is it is horrifying looking.

So bits and pieces of it are going to to bend and and kind of like swish as it moves. You can hear that liquid sloshing around and you can see faces and bodies like in it clawing at the side, trying to get out at this point. Like Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist vibes kinda like this, all the people like writhing is part of this one big thing. That's that's awful. Take on Europe. Barely. OK. Dagon's hurt. He's probably keeling over a little, trying to stand his feet. Panicking. He doesn't want to die again. Almost. So he's going to pull out the God die and give it a toss.

Can I get a D20 from you, please? Six. Do you remember the conversation when you got this die? Vaguely. There was no real. It was very vague on what it would actually do. You know, it's going to be very random and like, you know. Yeah. Yeah. And all I remember is that in that if I died, it would roll anyway. Yes. So it may not do anything to benefit us in this fight, but desperate times, right? Do me a favor and give me a 1d 400 if you can. So we're going to do that on the table manually. I don't think that's one d 400. Yes. How do we do? Six is going to amplify magic.

And what I wanted to know is by how much. And there's a percentile you rolled in the top percentile. So the house's magic is now going to be amplified by 100%. So this means a couple of things. One, anything that's going on in the house, say with the children, it's going to be way fucking easier for them to do things. As of now, anyone using any magic you roll with advantage. And if it's something that the monster has to say, if it rolls disadvantage. My blades count because they're like a weird psychic blades. Yeah. Yes. You're fine. Yeah. It's a sword. Yeah.

Yeah. I think I think that. Yeah. You're good. Yeah. The mind sword. We've all seen it. I mean, it's a it does psychic damage. So, yeah, that's your bonus action. I'm glad I rolled this before my attack. Yeah. Goodness. I got a question and we can wait to get to get there if you want. Sure. Sure. Sure. But if if that magic of the house has infused dumpy with a ton of strength. Yes, it has. My God. Yes, it has doubled to strength. That is awesome. OK, cool. So that means his strength stat is 40. I can't get that like a mechanical table's going to do the math. This is fantastic.

OK. Yeah. That was worth rolling, I think. That was real good. It could have been bad. That was real good, though. I figured it could have been. OK. Anything else? That was your bonus action. No, I know. I'm just asking. That's it. The kids. You want more? God, the gods have spoken. Yes. OK. OK. Yeah. No. OK. Back to me here. OK. I still have. Eight for points. That's good. No, I'm just I'm thinking you couple that with that earring and. Oh, yeah. Well, earrings a bonus action, though, right? I'll let you give up one of your attacks. If you want to use the earring. I don't think you're rolling with advantage.

I'm already rolling with advantage. Right. But remember, the earring triples your damage if it hits. Almost dead. Let's do it. I might not survive the next round. That's a very Krillin mindset, but you're going to I think you're going to do great, honestly. If I hit. Well, I've added so. Yeah, it's advantage, baby. I smell a crit. I'm just going to say it. OK, I'm going to try that furious blast again. So do it to move points and love this all or nothing. OK, kind of good. We have to roll that. What was it? Deep. Sorry, it was a D 20 plus four. Nine. I need a description of Dagon calling a shot, please.

Yes. Clicking the earring. So you get the magic slap on the ass. He's like dropping this diet and he's like playing with his ear. He's hurt. He's like, oh, he's probably whimpering a little bit, too, because he's a little bitch. But no, no, no. But we don't hear that because we're hearing. There's tears, but he's also super angry, so he's just like, you know, the manly tears. And so, like, which is good because it's going to build up like his energy is just going to start coalescing around him. It's going to start moving down towards his hands and his eyes glowing.

And he's going to scream when he does this. OK, I've got advantage on. Don't I? You do? Well, yeah, you should. I thought I clicked it. Just do it twice. To D 20 K plus nine. Does that make sense? Yes, that's it. You're good. It's not a crit, but that definitely hits with a 19. So the damage you roll, we're going to triple it. So that is. 3D plus four plus charisma modifier force damage to three. No, sorry. 3D four plus five. Jesus. OK. With some high rolls, this could get nasty. Plus five. We'll roll that and then triple it. 14 times three. So it'd be. No, 44. 42. 42. 42. 42.

That's a beefy hit. So at this point, hold on. Oh, I get an extra attack. No, you don't. I don't. I'm sorry. That's right. Yeah. Instead of. That's good. I thought I'd have to. It's like, no, you traded that with. I thought I'd have explained it again. You'd be mad. OK. No, I didn't. I never said that. There's no way you can prove it. At this point, these two beings, these two groups of beings are in the same place. They are. So there are members of the elite. You can see it stretched so thin that it that there's it's basically this sheer veil. And some of the members have phased in, but in pieces like their torsos are like clawing at this thing, because for whatever reason, magically, they're being kept alive in this.

But they feel what they should be feeling. They are tied to this being as it is happening. So they are eternally drowning. They are eternally in half. They are helpless because they have signed away to get power from this thing. So they are they are tied to it. And this thing's going to burst. There is no fucking doubt. Like this is bad. That's a. Well, Matilda is going to take. A few steps back. As if that would do anything. It would. I could go to his aura. You could get a grid for the bucket. Yeah. Yeah. That was just as a. They got sorry to you. You don't want to get next to Fenris.

That's that's that's on the ground level. You know, because you're the mouth. OK, and I'm going to save it till there's not a mouth person. I don't know. We already went through this. Pretty sure I'm on a list, though. I don't know. I feel like that ship said a long time ago. I feel like you know, that is that is a two. So seven total that is going to miss as long as it doesn't take any in the back of the house. OK, well, Matilda came over to Dagon and gave him a thumbs up. Everyone slap his ass for luck. No thanks. And then she'll shoot an arrow and she missed.

Oh, a little embarrassing. That's how it goes sometimes. Honestly, in a fight like this, there's enough going on that like no one knows. It's such a big target. Maybe it just hit one of the like, was it a magic arrow advantage? No, no. She was the first person in her heart who doesn't use magic. Bittersweet. Yeah. Well, here, you know, I can't put out the level of power that Dagon can, but I definitely think that I'm not going to last another round either. So we've got to just like put it all on black, you know. Let's just do some force punches. He's going to he's going to come out.

He's got his spear. He's going to twirl it around, stick it in the ground, bring out his arms that are covered in spikes. He gets this like glowy, shadowy aura around him as his eyes glow and this sort of like darkness wisps off of him. And he's just going to like kind of this thing is huge. Like it is so enormous. He's just like going to punch whatever meaty piece of flesh is in front of him. But instead of it feeling hopeless, there's bits of it that are so thin that. It's like it is attainable. It's not like you're walking up to a dragon and your fist fighting it like this is it's it's like, oh, I could catch one of these these thin bits and oh, yeah.

You know what it is, is it's like he sees some of those like bodies moving through, you know, and he's and he's like, OK, that's where I'm going to hit. Boom. And he's going to try and go for that. Yeah. One of the elites right in the kisser. Yeah. OK. Force punch should be out. We'll drop a seven, take an 18, 27 will definitely hit. And I should have said I'm going to go in for the cap. Yeah, I'm going for the cap. I'm going to do I'm going to do three, three force or three points there. So let's roll that for time. Oh, shit. All right. That is twenty six. Oh, another attack.

You get one more. OK, yeah, let's let's do let's do one more again. One more again. Here we go. Force punch. Oh, twenty five will hit. Awesome. Awesome. I'm going to do I'm doing that. Doing that again. So. And OK. Twenty five. Yes. Nice. All right. That is technically the end of the round. Oh, Michael, please. Now that we're here. Can we get dumpy to do a little climb up on this and not. Yes. You said that. Yes. So here's the thing. I think with a strength score of 40, I honestly think it's 40 plus because he had over. But it doesn't matter with a strength score of that.

I need to put that in perspective. That's a God. A rat God with one hit point. Right. So like in perspective, if dumpy with his little rat fist threw a punch. Right. Not only with the modifier for a punch, the 18 or 20, something like that. But when it hit you, if you were a town's person, you would liquefy. You would cease to be the space you inhabited would no longer be anything but pink mist. So him jumping on to this thing, I guess he's got a bite. He's going to do rat shit. Yeah. Right. Yeah. By before he does that. Michael, can you do me a favor? I want you to roll for the willpower of these children.

I want to want you to give me two d 20s because because of this effect like that, that magic is being aided. So we're going to take the highest one. Oh, that's not terrible. That's not terrible. But it is going to push them over the finish line for what they need. So these doors are pushed together. And what they're trying to do is essentially take these out of the physical world so they can't be used. But before they do that, there's going to be this column of light that rips through the basement and up into the foyer of the first floor. You're going to see it encapsulate this entire mess.

And as dumpy bites into this thing, do you ever watch a balloon get popped in slow motion? That's essentially what's about to happen as the skin rips away from this beast. There are dozens of members of the elite, some in bits and pieces, some who for just the split second are going to be in utter agony. Before being ripped out of this dimension through this light, almost like a ghost trap. They are going to be banished to that that realm where that thing was chasing Dagon and Tandy. They are gone. And since the door is no longer physical, they cannot get back.

So any of them that do survive that will be hunted by whatever is on the other side. The physical form of this otherworldly creature now having no hosts. It just bursts and gallons, gallons and hundreds of gallons of blood are going to erupt out from this and coat everything. Do you all think insurance covers this or? Two mops will show up and start like this because the house's energy is double. Exactly. Yes. There are two regular size mops, just like smearing it around, just smearing it. Get the marble floor first. I don't know what we're going to do with all the carpets and shit.

But this is like elder God blood or whatever. I mean, this has to be valuable to someone. Right. And I dumpies on top of this giant balloon and as it pops in this light, he like is falling down and bittersweet. Just hold out his hand and catches. He's just a rat. Everyone is absolutely coated in blood. If there's any doubt about that, I want to be sure. No, it is. There is no escaping this. It is. So the elite are gone. This is no longer a problem. That door is no longer a problem. The magic in this house is the last thing that's being taken care of. And because those doors are no longer there, because that liminal space is no longer there.

The children's souls who are still around get to pass on. They get to move on to an afterlife. And after a few minutes, those mops are just going to like clatter to the floor and stop cleaning. And this is just a big, empty mansion again. And guys, I think that's a good time to stop this campaign. Can I do something? I want all of you to do something. I want to go around the table. We're going to start with you, Michael. What? What is next for Fenris? Like what is just please. So I never got to use my die. Yeah, no, you didn't. Do you wanna? But I do want to, but I want it to be more like days have passed and I find whichever guild house that was the one.

And I just want to roll it into the door of that guild. Oh, fuck. Do you maybe want to explain the back story behind that? Because we didn't. We've hinted at it and stuff, but I don't know if you actually like please paint a picture before you roll this fucking. Yeah, absolutely. OK, so in the beginning, Fenris wish that wasn't even his name originally. He's forgotten his name. And his name is taken since then. He's forgotten that name. It's bad. A lot of its members have been fragmented. But one of the heist used to be person that would go and be a rogue and heist and work for under contract and be.

He'd go and do different contracts with different guilds because he's freaking poor and it's freaking bright port. But he has done enough with them that none of them actually trusted him or like police. The groups he's contracting with because they always thought he was maybe doing it for the other group being like the super trouble agent. But he was just trying to get by. And so they did this this one job at this fancy house manner and he gets double crossed. He finds his dagger that has his patron in it. And when he takes it and then gets backstabbed, he gets thrown out of the window and he stabs himself with the blade, which is his like meeting moment with the patron.

And as he's already dying, bleeding out, the patron offers him a chance. But it's a matter of taking the possibility as a brand new opening. And but he has to take the chance. And so he takes it and he loses himself with it. So he loses memories. A lot of it. There's a lot of pieces he doesn't remember. But through this, he does find out which one of that was where he was backstabbed and was like, OK, well, what's going to use this dice on this thing to save his friends? But didn't need to happen. But he was like, well, let's just tie this up and just see what happens.

That's cool. That's cool. Let me ask you a question. What are you hoping for when you roll this into that manor house? I want what I recall it like it changes, whether it's like it contains them and many, many years pass by or the whole thing just shifts and changes or just like flips it on its side, like it'd be really cool if something just changes in a way that is unexpected around that whole thing, whether it's inside or everything inverts. I don't know. It'd be cool. I just want something big, I guess. I guess what I want. But if I get a few, I get 300 crows, I guess that's what I get.

That's still big. That's a lot of crows to deal with. You have one bird in your house. That'd be a funny end. It's just full of bird shit all over the thing. And they're like, they're never going to be able to clean it because it's just always there. Can you give me a D100, please? Sure. 51 crows. I love that it's just over half. That's so perfect for Fenris. Brightport has kind of the equivalent of a stock market. And this is a noble house that has a lot of ties in the community, mostly shipping and receiving and stuff like that. It's very common for people with money to get more money because they can finance ships.

They can buy, sell, trade, all that stuff. But the thing is Fenris is kind of expecting something grand when you throw this in. It's like and a million spikes. Like it's something, something huge. And this die is going to clatter into the building and kind of come to a stop. And you're going to see this like shimmer of light. And then nothing happens. And days are going to go by and Fenris is probably questioning this like, fuck man, that is a letdown. Yeah, I got to see you dig on things. Something starts happening, though. At first you could explain this as bad luck, right?

Something that this noble house was kind of banking on a specific crop doesn't come in the way they want it to. Or they've hedged bets on something that should have been a slam dunk for them. And it just doesn't quite work out. Accidents befall the house. People fall down stairs. They, you know, on and on and on. But it's going to continue for weeks. And until Fenris says otherwise, every venture, whether it be making eggs in the morning or betting the house on, you know, a rare breed of horse that they're going to start selling will fail miserably. Everything.

And it only stops when Fenris says it stops. Oh, I love that. Give it some thought. We'll come back. Also, did you not fucking get hit again this whole fight? He got hit. There's a little little bit of a. His record's pretty much intact. Like it's, you know, the tank. What about Matilda? What do you want from Matilda? Like what's the next step for her? Because I dare say that archery might not be her calling. No one else saw that happen, but that's going to stay with Matilda. You know what's crazy? Anyone out there who listens, go back into the show and listen to Valerie play an archer, whether it be Sora, whether it be Matilda.

Funny shit happens when you put a projectile weapon in Valerie's hands. It's always something. She has hit allies before she's injured NPCs. Honestly, I think. I think. For Matilda. This was a definitely a grand adventure that happened very quickly and escalated very quickly. And. I think. That is. Enough. For a lifetime. And I. I really do see Matilda sort of being like, okay, well, we, we got through all of that. Let me. Go back to my library and. Help. Other people figure out their stories. Like she's. She's okay with hers. Like. I think. That that's what would make her happiest.

So there's none of that, like road less traveled thing. It's like, no, no, no, I know it's out there. I've done it. And now you can, it'll never nag at you. It's like, Oh, what if I had gone with them? It's like, I've done it. It's. It is fine. Probably right about the time you're coded in blood, head to toe. Like it's, it's, it's like, all right. Or the time she like almost clawed her own eyes out. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right about there. It's like, I should start saving for retirement. This is. James. What's Dagon gonna do? I don't know. Things have changed. His life has changed dramatically.

Since he first set up a break board. Kind of got derailed as soon as he stepped foot into the city. Thank you. Well, the mugging didn't help. The return of items was awesome. Yeah. So three things. There are Aladrin coming to Brightport to check on him. Check in on him. I don't know when they're coming. I like the idea of his parents walking in the door and Dagon is still like covered in blood, like helping him mop up. He'd probably go back to his, his, his main goal. So he'd probably head out to house Dragonkeep eventually. He probably asked Tani to come with him.

And deal with any of those ramifications. After. Does she get to meet his parents when they get to the city? Is that the girl you take home to mom? No, no, because that girl is back home. So there is some complicated issues here. Right. Right. Right. I'm not saying that you're not going to ruffle feathers. There's been at least three books written about that. Yeah. There's an arranged marriage and his life is forever changed now. He was used to one way and this was completely different. This was living as opposed to, you know, having your life lived for you. And I don't think that goes away.

I think he'll probably have the need to continue with that. So I think there's going to be a battle in store for him, at least with his parents, to see where that goes. But yeah. I have. Well, that's where he, that's what he's, you know, he doesn't know what has happened. We do. He does not. So that's why he, he got a lead on house Dragonkeep. That's like one of the last places other Dagon was seen. So that's where that's his stop to find out what he can there. And not to. And like help you like be on the quest with you. But be cool if like, hey, as some good gracious dragon, really lean on this guy because, hey, bet against this group.

That's like the way to get some favor in there. Yeah. I'm heading up to the noble district anyway. So like we can we can just like honestly, do you know what? Obviously, Tani would stick by you, right? And she is not phased by the fact that you have a bride to be because that is not your bride. So no papers have been signed yet. She is not phased at all. But she would want to go see Serena, the Cornata family, and probably ask them. It's like, hey, we would like. Yeah. We what the what? Get answers to those questions. And she would have to speak to her father because like she didn't have anything to do with it because she's in Brightport, kind of learning the family business.

And her brother is going by his middle name, which is Terry. And he was trying to be a paladin on the West Coast. He's going through his own stuff right now. But his middle name is Terry. Yeah, he. Yeah, he's he's also going by a different last name because he didn't want to ride on the family coattails. So he wanted to like do his own thing and get out there and then. Well, you know, he has one eye down and like he's he's got some other stuff going on, but like he, you know, but. I. I would love to leave one more thing up to a roll, James, if you're OK.

Sure. Obviously, Aladdin can be pretty traditionalist, especially the the the I guess illusionary. That's that's that's no that insinuates you're not real. The copycat Aladdin are much more traditional because they didn't live through being trapped in the you know. So they're probably a little more unyielding when it comes to this arranged marriage thing. But there's always a chance that can be understanding or. Tanny could charm them. I don't. She charmed. She charmed all of us. She has a charm. You could just a flat. Yeah, just just a flat D20 just to see like.

OK, the higher it is, the more accepting they are, the lower it is. The lower it is, they don't tell and they just run away. Well, OK, that tells me personally. We are not fond of this. We we had a we had a thing and then slowly but surely. They just kind of grow to accept it. I like maybe they don't. Yeah, they can still have to work for it and like actually put effort in like that's good. OK, I was thinking the pure banishment. So that's that's better. I do you know what, though? I don't think I think if you went to the city, got mugged and then fell in love, it would like you're being impetuous.

But like you, you kind of come back a little gruffer, like you've been through shit like you. But you have experiences where you're like, look, just like I've had skin in the game, I've put myself out on the line and I've done so for what I perceive to be the greater good at the time. So I think that automatically gives you a little base in your voice when it comes to this type of thing. This day gone does not get stabbed in the back by his mom. On a long enough timeline, every day gone gets stabbed in the back. What's he going to do? What's he going to do when he finds out?

I think that's the thing. If you go here's the thing. If you go to house Dragon's Keep, I don't want to play the whole thing out, obviously, because we it's almost midnight. But you're going to find out that other Jesus, there's the whole thing, right? You're probably going to find out about Masoka. Like, there's a lot. The real thing that day gone was not expecting. So an older version of you, a century older version of you that is dead now had a kid and the kid never got to meet his real dad, but could meet a younger facsimile of his dad. He is older than.

Yes, that's I think I explained that succinctly. Yeah, that's the situation, right? Good. I mean, they're in the same city right now, as far as we know. Yes. Bittersweet. Ian, what what what's next? I think Bittersweet. He he goes he goes back to Brightport and I think if Calypso is like whatever they're doing, I think maybe Bittersweet sort of like teams up with Calypso, you know, he was kind of like hired muscle for a little bit and he didn't really have anything to do in Brightport other than like starve and suffer. And Calypso is like the one rich ish person.

There's someone that has like connections and resources and wit and that kind of thing, and that seems like a big fucking house and a big fucking house, a big bloody house right now. And yeah, and so I think it's a fixer up. Right. Got to redo that basement a little bit. But yeah, I think I think he's he's with them and trying to work with them to get some of the people housed that that he was living with in the alley, because that was sort of like the promise that they made. Yeah. Just trying to. And that could be in the mansion. That could be wherever.

But I think that's what he's doing is like working on that. And I think he's also going to the library a lot and seeing Matilda and having her show him maps and locations and places on a Laura that he can further explore and maybe check out to see if he can find a more permanent home for the Thedans. Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask him. Would he at some point go back and bring some more Thedans here? To Brightport? Oh, fuck no. Brightport, but more so the house, you know. Can I just. So one of the thing, one of the things that people who have money do and I don't want to tie this to real life, but it's real estate.

They become landlords. They buy places and stuff. Well, here's the thing. There's a certain noble house that's kind of on the rocks right now, and they're probably heavily invested in real estate. And over the time they're going to have to sell that shit dirt cheap to make ends meet. So there could be a whole district of fucking Thedans. Maybe that's really interesting. Yeah, I like that a lot. Yeah, I think that's really cool. I don't know. I don't know where Fenris is in all of this in Brightport, but that's something that Bitter Sweet would need help navigating.

And yeah, maybe that's exactly what happens. And maybe he does bring a good portion of Thedans over in a real estate flipping scheme. If I never say that it gets better and I end up dying because, you know, I did lose some life. Does it just stay or is it like tied to my death? The bad luck? It basically haunts them until their dying days until the probably until the noble house disintegrates, not the necessarily the people in it. But once they have nothing, then it's like, all right, we're square. Like, I guess that would probably stop then. Once they are reduced to working a nine to five, it'd probably be like, all right, there's no value to that name anymore.

Then they can kind of live peacefully. Sounds perfect. And with the house magic gone, is Dumpy restored just to just Dumpy the Brat? Dumpy stays strong. Well, here's the thing. Over time, Dumpy is going to get weaker, but he's starting with a fucking 40. He goes down to like a 32 or something. So eventually he'll have the strength of like a larg and then like, you know, like, but here's the other thing. Because of that strength score, he's going to live an unnaturally long life. We're talking Green Mile shit. Like he's going to live quite a long ways, but he's going to get this really distinguished salt and pepper look eventually.

Yeah. So Dumpy Daddy is born. Dumpy's going to have a lot of a lot of little strong rat babies. Oh, God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Next arc. Next arc. Next arc. Like a weird straight of like freakishly strong rat. A swole rat master race? Yeah, that's what we're going to do. Yeah. Bittersweet. Bittersweet takes care of Dumpy for his long life. Finally, what about Calypso? Because this was a second chance, because, you know. So I think it ended up going perfectly. So because Calypso, like they were knocked out during that fight. So they at some point, I imagine someone helps them up.

Don't you guys don't just leave them to die. I heal you because you're my first friend. Like, well not first friend, but like you actually said something nice after having been really mad at me. Tanny was going to heal you on her turn, but you weren't going to like it. She'd have to use the Hemo goblin and like you don't. I am so sad. I love the Hemo goblin. So yeah, so Calypso wakes up and they won. Like we did it. And it's really perfect to me because this is like the first time where they truly use their magic in support of the team, like with all their strength and will behind it.

And this is, I think, the first time they've ever been knocked out in combat. And it's really beautiful to me that it worked that way. It's like it almost killed them, but it was worth it. And for the first time, it seems like their group was overall successful, even if they almost sacrificed themselves to make it happen. And yeah, I mean, so they keep their promise to bittersweet, of course, we kind of already talked about that they would definitely be in support of the, uh, they didn't house flipping scheme. Getting that running and also I imagine it probably takes.

And they probably would work with the Cornados a bit on this. You guys owe me whatever fucked up shit you did here. And just making sure they were contractors. But I'm just making sure that the house is safe and like refurbishing it. And, you know, getting all the, I mean, you can pay them in the ichor or whatever the do is that came out of that game. I do want to make it very clear the Cornada family did not kill children and put them in the walls and shit. That was all Abernathy. They just, yeah, they just wired it. They just kind of do flying. Yeah, I imagine like it takes a while for that all to really happen.

But once it does, like they definitely open up the place to the bittersweet, some friends and the unhoused people and making it sort of like a safe haven in the sanctuary, like a rehabilitation facility for them. They do, I think, still stay in House Silverclaw, but with a little bit of a different motive now. It's not just being part of it there. They have more influence in the city now than they did before they had this inheritance. And I think they use it. They push things, come a little bit. They become sort of a little bit more of the little bit more of the silver of House Silverclaw, shall we say, but just working on their with their strengths and what they learn throughout all of this with like connecting people, making friends, being diplomatic and moving things through those lines and making things a bit different and hopefully a bit better in the long run.

But if there's a, if we're like refurbishing the mansion and like opening it up, I think, too, it would be nice to like, because we don't know the names of any of the children, but we may be like, put together like some kind of plaque or monument or like some kind of little thing to commemorate all of them, you know, in the foyer of the mansion. Mm hmm. Absolutely. Yes. It's a beautiful it's a statue thing in the middle there. And maybe it has like children that are like popping in the air, but it's like a light beam in a sense in the middle. Like around a bonfire.

Yeah. Yeah. I like that. When their hands outstretched. Guys, congratulations for everything. Thank you so much for playing in the campaign. Holy shit. Good job. That was great. Right around the whispers thing, I'm like, oh, it was looking rough. Yeah. But that was a cool ending.
