Howdy everybody out there. This is the very last episode of Arc 5. Uh, it's been almost three years now, uh, of, of just us trying to put together these 74 episodes or so. And, uh, it's been just a ton of work. Uh, obviously life kind of got in the way a bit, but I'm really happy with the way we closed out each group. We're going to be getting together on Twitch, uh, Saturday, January 4th at 2 PM Eastern. Uh, we want to get together as many people as we can, as many thereins of that chat as possible. Um, us and the cast, you're just going to sit there and talk about the arc, talk about what's what actually happened, what could have been, what got left on the cutting room floor of things that changed throughout recording.

Three years is a hell of a lot of time. So yeah, we got a ton to talk about and, uh, maybe most importantly, what's next for the show, uh, thanks to your feedback. Thanks to you guys sending in surveys and, and, and letting us know what direction we should head in, we have a really clear idea of what we want to do. So, uh, hope you guys can join us there on Twitch Saturday, January 4th, 2 PM Eastern, uh, at twitch.tv/dandrpodcast. Uh, hopefully see you there and enjoy the very last episode of Arc 5. Ooh, let's do that thing where we go around the table and introduce ourselves one last time for Forsaken.

I'm Jason. I'm the dungeon master going around the table, starting with Zachary. What's up? My name is Zachary and I play Blevins Elmar Rutherfurd, the Bardlock still. And Karen. Hi, I'm Karen. And I played Josephine, the human cleric. And Jamie. Hello, I'm Jamie. I played Tatiana, the human rogue. I don't think your microphone's picking you up anymore. Me? Oh no. Try getting very close to your microphone. I'm very close to my microphone. Yeah, it's not picking you up. That's a different, it's a different microphone. What the fuck happened? I didn't touch anything.

I swear to God. No, no, no. What's hey, hey, we're all friends. This isn't an accusation. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. No, I'm furious. I'm furious about it. Don't listen to him. He has lots of feelings. What matters is that we were locked in. You guys hear it too, right? Like it doesn't feel like that's the, okay. Okay. I like how you approached it. That was like a patrol cop who caught like a kid with like, it's all right. Just call your parents. Hey. Oh yeah. Oh, hey. You don't need a lawyer. Let's not talk about Miranda rights right now. Hey, hey, who's Miranda?

It doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Sound any better? Oh yeah. It sounds great. Oh, I guess. Sounds great. I don't know what you did to sabotage the first recording, but the second one's great. It was definitely my fault. I'm Jamie. I played Tatiana, the human rogue. Man, that's yelling at us. Okay. Well, that's meaning your personal file and Jamison. Hi, I'm Jamison. Uh, uh, I almost said, um, Lark. I'm funky. Lissani hugs, the gnome vampire shadow sorcerer. Oh man. Um, oh my. So today you're going to be attempting something that hasn't been done in many years on the show.

Uh, now you're going to be using the, uh, the Bell Effect, the ritual to try and cleanse Don Hurst of all these, uh, awful undead creatures, except for present company. Uh, they'll, they'll be fine in, in that ritual zone, but everything else is going to be eradicated, uh, up to and including a mile. So we've sussed all this out. We, we know this, right? Um, I'm, I'm guessing I don't want to put gloom over this, but is there a, a sense of, uh, finality, I guess, to, to any of your kids, is there a sense of like, oh, we could die doing this or is it, cause you seemed really, uh, hesitant to, to try and take a stab at it.

I mean, Jamie, please go right ahead. I was just calling Karen out. That's all. Oh, I actually just didn't hear you. I'm so sorry. Def that is, you've always been half deaf. This isn't new. You've had time to adapt, anticipate my needs. 32 years. Okay. No, not that long. 27 years. I forgot how old I was. Anyways. I mean, I just, I don't know. Like I, Josephine would have done it either way, but then, you know, funk, he was all like, I don't know. We don't know all this stuff. So then I'm maybe super hesitant, but then it's like, we should probably do it. Anyways.

I don't remember that out. I don't remember that being how the dialogue went. I, I, that was, that was the quick version. Yes. I remember it being. Yeah. Jimmy, you were, you were saying. I was just going to say, as you know, a previous participant in the ritual. Um, I think Tatiana is probably more anxious than anything else because she sort of knows what's coming, but does it because it is different circumstances, but whatever it is, is going to be fucking bad. So yeah, I went back and I listened to the episode with the ritual and I thought, Oh man, wouldn't it be cool if beat for beat, we recreated it.

However, there are new gods and, and stuff. And I feel as though it would be a bit different. So I went ahead and I created an entirely new experience for you guys. Oh, fun. Oh, it's going to be no idea what's about to happen. That really helps the anxiety. I think. Good. Did you go back and listen to the old episode? I didn't. No, I don't know. I don't have that sort of time, but I remember what happened. I'm just like imagining like Tatiana is like anticipating what's happening. And then like the first time something is different, she's going to freak what the fuck is that?

Well, that's going to happen really early on. I'm just going to prep you. Very early. We know which God we're dealing with when we do this ritual, which one we're bequeathing to. I mean, I don't even know if the, I'm not going to say anything. Why? Why not? Because part of me wondered if this was even going to work because Vecna doesn't exist anymore. So like, is this just a bell now? Like, I don't know. Well, it's like under new management. It's it's there's still, so there's still, it's still a holy relic. There's still magic coursing through it. And it's not like there isn't a God of death.

It's just the different vibes. Donald, you love so much, but they get new management and all of a sudden they start forgetting your order. The whole place is massive. Yeah. It's okay to sit in the drive thru for 20 minutes, you know? Any McDonald's I've ever went to in the last five years, they've never had food cooked. I have to wait for them to cook the food, which seems to it's like, I don't come here for food. It's the quick, that's what I come here for. It's the fast part of fast food that I'm looking for. There's no more dollar menu. Like it's all very, I okay.

I was watching the movie bedazzled, uh, the other day with Brendan and Elizabeth Hurley still holds up. It's fine. It's great. And to prove that she's the devil, he asks her, it's like, OK, well, then I want a Big Mac and a Coke. And they drive to McDonald's and she orders a Big Mac and a Coke. And the guy behind the counter says that will be three oh four. And that made this comedy so much more a tragedy. Because he acted like that was a it's like, wow, really? The prices went up. It's like, oh, Brendan, like, sweetie. Anywho, that means nothing, really, neither here nor there.

I'm going to get ready and drop you into this church. And we're going to we're going to get ready and do some stuff here. Now you should see nothing. Yes. OK, excellent. I think this is Donhurst Temple in parentheses, last stand. He's very dramatic. Yeah. Now, those of you with dark vision should be able to see something. Here's let me let me set the scene. And we're going to. We're going to assume that, you know, the setup for this ritual, right, that you're you're it's like, OK, so reading the book, OK, we do this, this and this. And then I'm going to explain the mechanics to you.

You will be fighting tonight. You just will, unless you have the best roles of your life. Karen, you. It's going to be so good, guys. I'm assuming you're taking the lead in terms of the the the holy ritual here, I'm assuming I could be wrong. I can't read any of it, but if somebody tells me what to do, I'll do it. And yeah, like if I'm assuming read, I think the back half we decided on, so you'll be your guide for that. But we did also translate the first bit into dwarven. And we found a work we're assuming we're assuming. OK. So, OK, I speak Elvish, it's fine.

Yeah, well, yeah, but no, the funculus funculus had had dwarven ties, I believe. I had no mission, which we decided was like every third word, like compatible. Yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like I took a semester of. Yeah, OK. Yeah, that's kind of it's like I speak I speak Spanish, so I can kind of understand Italian a little bit. I get the vibe. I get the oh, no, no, no. Romance languages, I get it. You just look at the words eat snail. I think that means death or really good. I can't tell. Yeah. Yes. What a coin. Let's go. You should not move at all or jump.

I don't I don't know, but it's very important to underline. OK. As you walk into this church with that relic and you you approach the center of of this place because that you're it's like, OK, well, fuck. This is the most defensible portion of this church, right? One by one. This place is going to light up, these candelabras are going to kind of come to life and shine light on this place, just just it's going to. This place is going to look alive. Would you? Do me a favor, Karen. I, I need I need. So, OK, here's how this is going to work throughout this ritual.

Things are going to happen, and these things are based on your roles. It's not just going to be on you. You're responsible for successfully pulling off this ritual. And tonight. We're looking for seven successes. Before four failures. OK. Seems very reasonable currently, we'll see how that feels three or four rolls in. But everyone else, there's a mechanic where everyone else is going to be in charge of the luck of the party. Oh, you'll see how that works in a moment. Mm hmm. Now, if I may ask, would it be a thing like each fail, bring some baddies in or at four?

We do a few prayers before hell breaks loose. Well. Of course, it would box the child because I just got to find out. Well, it depends on how far you are into the ritual, right? Because at first it's not going to be so bad. You know, it's it's kind of it's kind of just getting started. It's got to warm up. But. Obviously, the longer this goes on, the worse it's going to get, like it's going to be the stakes will get higher, I guess is what I should say. So one of the vampires are like, oh, there's lights on down there. Let's go find out. Vampires are like, oh, they're just looking through like open cracks and stuff.

And then two, they start walking in like, OK, what's going on? Well, it's not just that you using this bell poorly will have consequences outside of the vampires, but we'll get into it. We'll get into it. So here's the thing. Karen, when you're ready, I need Josephine to give me. A religion role, please. Just to get started. And it's low. We're looking. It sure is low. We're looking for a 10. Now, that's a really reasonable number. God, my God. It's fine. I mean, it's good. Yeah, that's good. Skinny. It's shit. OK, that's a 10. Everybody at home, so we're going to get this restat my character real quick.

Let's just reroll. Yeah. That's one success. So one success, no failures. You're going to start to channel energy into this. Now, the good news is you don't have to just stand here. You. The ritual keeps going as long as you aren't knocked out. If you're knocked out every time I have to call on you and you're not conscious, that's a failure. OK, you don't want that, but it keeps going. Now, imagine Trent is on the sidelines and he's holding a big fucking crossbow and he's going to try and shoot at something if it attacks you. But other than that, Trent's a lover, not a fighter.

We all know that. So. He's he's going to be to the side. Can everyone see what's happening here? Yes. Yes. OK, good. I need a volunteer for our first luck role. I'll do it. I'm down. You got it, James. OK, so every time I every time I ask one of you to roll for your luck, something good is going to happen based on your role. Right. The higher the role, the better. And then I as acting for the ritual. I'm going to try and negate that with my own role, and you'll see it active on the board, you'll understand as soon as it happens. James, and give me a flat 20, please.

Seventeen, seventeen. So the center the center of this this church is going to light up. And. That is holy light coming off that you can feel it radiating, not in a burning of vampire skin kind of way, but you could tell that's bolstering you. So every one of you are going to get inspiration right now. And as you're channeling energy into this bell, it is going to funnel and then kind of pour into the ceiling of this church, into the steeple and just sort of start emanating out. And it's kind of casting this net in a it's going to extend out a mile and then just kind of crush any undead creatures that are out there.

As long as you do a good job. Karen, I need another I need another religion role, please. And this time I need it to be a 12. Every two we're going to change over, though, we're going to give we're going to ask for another kind of role. Don't worry. OK, thank God. That's a six. That's a six. Not what you want to see. OK. It's fine. Great. Oh. I just saw there's a little squid on the table. Sorry. Sorry. No, I. So that's a six. That's going to fall well short of that's that's half of what we asked for. And you're going to essentially this bell's going to like shake.

As you it's like, well, it's like a it's like a like a QTE and you hit the wrong button. It's like, oh, and you're going to hear this hissy skitter outside. Just kind of. And. Through the cracks in this building, you're going to see two. Well, they they're in the shape of spiders, but they are definitely fiends. They're demonic in nature. And these kind of slipped through the veil of hell as a result of. So these things are going to enter the church slowly and attack you guys. That that's just going to happen. OK, it's just going to happen. Why? It's just going to happen.

All right. Don't worry, guys. Your tank has got this. Well, speaking of roles, I just feel I just realized we have the same religion score or like the same religion skill level of plus one. Plevens has that nine intelligence. Joe, Joe isn't isn't a real churchy kind of you're in church for just your attention to the fighting bits and not praying bits. Yeah. I also just didn't just like school, though, like I just blow off a class like rituals 101. Yeah. Years later, you're in this situation. Oh, yeah. Should listen to that teacher. Then we're going to need that one, you know.

All right. Can I get everybody to roll initiative for me, please? Mm hmm. Karen, every time it's your turn, I'm going to ask for another role for this ritual. OK. Now, the good news is we're moving on from. From religion, we're going to be asking for a different skill this time. Well, they won't let me roll initiative because there is no combat encounter. I'm a douche. I'm so sorry. OK. You guys didn't need me, right? I'm just going to be over here hiding from this holy radiance again. OK. OK. It's just bright. It's not in principle. He doesn't like it. No, that's fair.

Karen, I'm going to need you to add yourself to the combat tracker. If you don't, I thought it rolled. But not. Oh, I'm sorry. You're fine. Oh, OK. Tatiana, you are up. Oh, OK. I I'm going to I'm going to try to shoot one of these demon feed spiders. Tatiana is going to hear. Sorry, I was looking for something I didn't. I knew I was going to be first. I wasn't I wasn't ready to be first. And I appreciate that there is no timer. No, no, no, no. I feel like that would be OK. Your own sand effects, though, if you, you know. I know I can hear the little chirping of the crickets.

Yeah. 15 is going to miss the spider. Yeah. OK. Well, we don't love that's not a great start. It's all I got. OK. Demon feed spider. They're being. And how far can these things crawl? Shit, yeah, 40 because they're spiders, that makes sense, that adds up, that's fine. I just realized let's make the grid a bit more opaque because. There's already a go. Yeah, because there was already like a grid to the floor and it was confusing. Mm hmm. I see. Yeah, I see. Two, three or. All right. There we go. Oh, yeah. OK. Oh, good. Wait. I'm going to bite. Let's bite Tatiana for shooting, right?

Yeah. Oh, God. Seventeen. Fuck yeah. He rolled a 10. OK, let's do it. Hit me. God. OK. Fucking max damage. 13 damage. I hate spiders. Sadly, there's a second bit about the target must make a D.C. 14 constitution saving throw on a failed save. The target takes 68 poison damage. OK, fuck. That's a lie. It is. They are demons fighters. We're looking for 14 constitution. Come on. Constitution. You sure you don't want to ask? You sure? 18, you're fine. Right. I'm scared. Levens, you got a spider next to you. You going to pet him? Never a spider. Is there a way to pop out this character sheet?

Sorry. No, sorry. No problem. I wish. Curious. So I think Blevins is going to. Oh, man. He's going to just take two swipes at it with. Is rapier. It's fine, Cole. Here we go. You get a plus two because you're standing next to 13 is going to miss. You get one more, though. Oh, 20 will hit nice 11 damage to the spider. And using Blevins feet mobile, he will back away from the spider without an opportunity attack. And he wants to go kind of near the corner, the bottom left corner. OK. Joseph in, sorry, one more thing. Shit. No, I'm so sorry. I just want to cast a bardic inspiration on Tatiana.

Hmm. What's your what's your bardic die? I am level 10. I believe it is. It tells me when I roll it one detail. Holy shit. You're at this level. Yes. I didn't know how many levels you put into bard. Actually, I'm actually full bard now. I forgot. Oh, yeah. That's D10, then shit. Well, OK, that's that's a girthy die. All right. Josephine, before you do anything, I need you. Yeah. Give me an arcana check, please. Oh, God, that's not even any better. Oh, I know a year. I don't make the rules to go to. That's my fault. It's OK. Right. And look for 12 or higher. Oh, my God. It's a 17.

That's two successes versus one failure. Another total failure. You're killing it. Killing it. You got this. Great job. You know what that means? That means that the good luck die in the center gets another role and we get to see something else happen. Jamie, can you give me a D20, please? The higher, the better. Only good things can happen. Oh, well, only good things, though. Only good things. That's that's only good things. The next person to attack gets a plus two to their roll. Oh, there you go. Yeah, that's good. All right. OK, so. I'm going to attack. I got to I'm going to do an oldie, but a goodie.

I'm going to make some lightning, guys. Where is this thing? Oh, here it is. The big the big mouth. So I'm going to do it on the one down in the corner. That's not near anybody. OK, and it needs to. Oh, God. Well, so this is just like, should I still place the token or it's going to cover the whole thing? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You could try this thing purple. But it's going to feel good. OK, sure. Yeah. So the whole church goes up in flames like. Purple flames. These clouds are going to start like forming on the ceiling. And I'm going to she's going to point at that guy in the corner.

And he needs to make a it needs to make a dexterity saving throw. I like that you didn't assume the spiders gender. That's yes. I just don't have one. Period. It's a spider. It's a spider. It is just it's mostly mouth, to be honest. Yeah, because it's a lot of teeth. Yeah. You said dexterity, dexterity. Oh, it's a spider, though. Yeah, it's going to it's it's got it's got dexterity. Oh, here it go. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. Oh, wow. That is a crit. That was so cute. I'm feeling twenty six being at the bowling alley. OK, I think it still takes half damage. That's good.

So let me roll damage. Look. Oh, wow. Two ones and a two. Uh, so that's eleven. So half damage. So hold on one second. Uh huh. Where is my thingies? I don't I don't know what's the thing. Oh, you mean spells? Not my spell. Oh, my features here. They are. Ah, you know what? We'll save it. We'll see. OK, that's it. OK, I'm just going to get rid of that template so that we can all. Yeah, you know, the cloud stays because the concentration spell. Yeah, but we know it's there. Yeah. Vunculus. All right. So the first thing he's going to do is he's going to look to the spider that is in the corner.

And he's going to yell at it in no mesh. Nobody knows what he says, but it sounds real bad. It's just like old man yells a cloud shaking his fist, yelling at it, personally offended by it. And then he's going to use as a bonus action, how to veil omen to charge at this thing. We read real quick what it does. I summon a hound of omen to target one creature. I can see the hound uses dire wolf statistics, except that it's medium. The hound appears in an unoccupied space of my choice within 30 feet of the target, which you can certainly do that. I'd like it to be in the space most between me and it.

Please. There. And then it has separate initiative, so it needs to roll initiative. On its turn, it can only move toward this target by the most direct route. And it can only attack this target. It makes opportunity attacks as well, but only against this target. The important thing is that when it's within five feet of this target, it has disadvantage against saving throws against my spells. Oh, so like right there is where you'd like that wolf? I just just might as well have him right up in there. Five feet closer there. OK, that's fair. Right. Let's oh, actually, let's make him friendly.

Yeah, he's a friendly wolf. Friendly boy. His name is Dog two. And we're going to add him. Oh, he rolled really well, so he'll go right after you. Cool. OK, so that was my bonus action for my spell. I'm going to cast Maximilian's Earthen Grasp on this spider. Oh, so when that's going to do is the stone column that this thing is perched on the wall next to is going to animate and try to wrap itself around this thing like a snake. Oh, shit, that's pretty cool. OK, yeah. So we're going to do that. Is that a save or you like? He needs to make a concentration save of spell save DC is charisma modifier plus my proficiency bonus, right?

That sounds right. But hold up. I got you. I got you. If you hit the spells tab, it's all the way up top. So it's 15. Yes. OK, so he needs to make a 15. Save, Con save disadvantage. OK. OK, well, disadvantage, shit. Eh, eh, oof. OK, well, nice. A six. OK. I'm sorry, it was strength, does that change the outcome? What's the bonus? Is it different? OK, no, no, no, not enough to outwit. OK, his strength is 28, actually, so not enough to. OK, so on a failed save, it takes 2D6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained for the spell's duration, which is up to a minute. It can on its turn, I think, try to break out.

Yeah, it can make a strength check against against that same save, which is going to continue to have disadvantage on. So here's 2D6 damage. Six. And that spider is there. Oh, ironically, the restrained icon is a web. OK. That's what I was yelling at him is about get ready for some irony, bitch. In Gnomish, though, so it sounded kind of cute. Wolf takes a turn. Yeah, he's just going to attack. He's got, let's see, a plus five on his I guess I'll roll it plus five to hit. One to 20. Pretend there's five added onto this. That's going to be a 12. But this thing doesn't have does it have any disadvantage to being it has advantage against being attacked, right?

Because it's restrained. Yeah, actually, hold on one second. I can do I could do you one better. Hold up. Oh, if you open it, you should have full ownership of that wolf. How do I open it? If you go to you could double click on the icon or you can double click on the. Yeah. OK. Yeah. So let's do so do one more attack. Thanks. OK. Oh, it is biography. Yes. That's deep lore. All right. Oh, she has a 24. 24. Yeah, that definitely hit. All right. So what's the damage? 2010 plus three max damage. Wow. It is. Oh. Cool. She's OK. Shadow Monster dog fighting giant demon spider. Love it.

Very metal. When I'm when I'm restrained, I believe I can make one action. Creature speed becomes zero. Can't benefit from any attacks from any bonus to its speed. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage. OK, so it can attack. It just can't move or. Yeah. And it has the creatures attack roles have disadvantage. Oh, shit. Well, all right. Disadvantage attacking the wolf. Oh, Jesus. Oh, no. Oh, my God. I will drop a crit 20 to take a crit one, which is the worst possible thing that could have just happened. So let's see if we're going to roll on ye old crit table.

We are. Do you realize that there will be a new there'll be new crit tables soon? And this will be this this is this is some of the last times we'll see these. Oh, my gosh. I know. I know. Let's see what we got. Is there an option for it to instantly decapitate itself? Yes. Almost. Almost. There's a history. Yeah. Oh, oh, 19. Oopsie daisy, it falls prone. OK, so it is restrained and prone and dumb. And OK, that is the end of those put on this earth to make spiders look stupid. And I'm doing it and they came in so hot and heavy. And now that one's and you really cocked it.

It really is the Jar Jar Binks of spiders. Misa, going to make a web. Oh, my God. Sorry. They got you the case, the other spider Binks. Tatiana, you are up at first again, dammit. OK, I'm going to use my cunning action and disengage from this guy. And then I'm going to scootch right over here, hide behind this little pillar, and then I'm going to shoot him. I'm going to try to I wasn't very successful the last time, but we'll see. Well, you do. I will say. The one down at the bottom could not be more ripe for the plundering. Oh, well, it's fine. I guess I'll just let you know.

No, I appreciate it. If you want to be a trailblazer, if you want to carve your own path, who needs that? It's restrained and prone. Yeah. That hits. That absolutely hits. So normally you'd get disadvantage because it's prone and you're firing ranged. But because like basically it balances out, so you just get normal attacks. That's OK. Where do I do the damage again? It's in the chat. Is it because it doesn't show it for me? It used to, but it's not right now. Really? Oh, wait. There it is. I just hit the wrong thing. Sorry. Would you stop apologizing? I've been conditioned since birth to do that, Jason.

I cannot help it. I just I don't I don't hear. Really, the words just fall out of my mouth. I don't know what to do. I know when Lisa left the party, but like, sorrys would decrease by at least 40 percent. And no damage to less fighter. I believe you get sneak attack, sneak attack, which is five. Oh, Jesus. God, get into the level where that's crazy. Oh, thank you. Extra damage. Right. Hey, you have bloodied this fighter. It doesn't have a thing. Don't worry. It's not. Yeah, no, he's just bloody. He's just he's just leaking. He's just a Joe Blow over here. Yeah, he's yeah.

Anything else? That is all. Funculus, you're up. There's another spider to call small dicked, if you'd like. I cast to win fight. Oh, don't you have like a pocket T-Rex or some shit? I got rid of that after the after the controversy after the incident. Yes. You stop using that spell, we don't talk about it. What's this cool spell in the book? Nope. Anyway, it was a tense time. So he's going to take is going to take more damage. Who the of the spider you've already cut? Maybe. Yeah. So as an action, I'm going to cause it to take two to six more damage. It doesn't get a chance to try to break out until its turn.

So, oh, lovely. Oh, should I have done that on my turn is try to roll in the skate if that spider has gone? Yeah, it has it can make a strike check at disadvantage to try to escape. OK, I'll do that in one second. First, I'm going to take six more damage. All right, let me open this up at disadvantage. Holy shit. OK. These points are getting stripped and ripped away. Well, that sucks. Well, I dropped the 20 to take a 17. Here's the thing. He's still down. He's still like he's just not go down. Yeah. So in that case, when did he break out? Was it his last turn? Yeah, it would have been.

All right. Well, I'm going to try to grab him again. Oh, no. Yeah. He's laying down. That's yeah. He still gets disadvantage for the fuck it. Oh, man. So that's another strength save, please. God damn it. OK. Just regular, though, right? Yeah. OK, here we go. No, it's disadvantage. The wolf is there. Doesn't matter. He held it anyway. Oh, I still failed. No. Yeah. So I do that. And then he takes the damage like, no, OK. Calm down. Down. Stop resisting. Yeah. Well, I mean, the more grab some like it, it breaks away and it grabs him again, like it starts to look more and more like Vunculus's hand as it oh, as it goes, like as it continues to take shape.

So that's cool. Blevins. Blevins is going to cast. Fly on himself and go straight up into the air. OK, how far? To where his head is almost touching the ceiling, just get way high up there and then. Just go ahead and cast that spell off. Then I'm just going to. Going to cast bardic inspiration on Josephine. Thank you. Oh, that's going to come in handy. You can use your bardic inspiration on. The ritual thing, if you'd like. Perfect. Thank you. I mean, unless you really eat shit and like roll bad, then, you know. But I'm sure you're going to be fine. You'd be great.

That'd be great. That is my turn. OK, which which spy the shitty spider? Well, I guess he's going to he can't stand up because he can't move. So you know, the strength save. He can do that. Yeah, I guess he can at this. Suck a dick. OK. Oh, too bad. This fucking rigged carnival game. Drop a 14 to take a five. He's just going to lay there and gently paw at this wolf trying to like. He's just what a loser. Yeah, I would not screw with Oculus to tell you that much. He's like a bad idea. Josephine, here we go. Here we go. I need you to give me another arcana check. This time it's got to be a 14.

OK. Oh, fuck a dick. That's what I said. That's a two. Do you want to use your party? It's for it. It wouldn't even get me up over the point because only a day. I know. I know. What is the inspiration do? Is it a reroll? I'm just curious. I forgot. Well, the Bardic inspiration is a D10, but what about the other inspiration? Yeah, that lets you reroll. Would you like to reroll? Would you like to reroll? OK. I feel like I'm going to hold on to it. It's only two. Two halfway there. Yeah. Yeah, that's only halfway. It's a fail, right? Yeah. All right. So that's your final answer.

Oh, but then something bad's going to happen. Yes. Yes. Oh, yes. I'm just going to hold on to it. OK. All right. Well, I'm not a guy. So good news, bad news. I'm going to take these fighters off the field and I'm going to put on something worse. There's just a bad thing out of here. That's what happens to the just like fall apart or. I would say that the energy channeled into this thing, everything's going fine. And then you hit the wrong thing. And this kind of like purple energy comes out of it, whereas there's this wholly bright kind of golden light coming out of the top of it.

So these spiders are just going to kind of almost turn to ash and then reform as something else. One singular thing this time. And that will change, you know. How's it going over there, Josephine? It's going really good. I think we're doing it. She just turns over and says what? I fully trust in your abilities that you know what you're doing and you got this. Blamer distracting you. Thanks. Look over. But also, do you need help? No. She said, what I learned in preschool is what the fuck? We got ourselves a short travel. Yeah, he's he's kind of a, you know, mid-level fiend.

And we're going to add him to the initiative. Also, short devil, short devil, a short king. That's what they used to call bonkulous back in the day. Also, as a result of that, at the top of every round, someone's going to have to roll for that luck die. And at the bottom of every round, I get to roll for bad luck. That's starting next round, right? No, no, no, no. It starts at the failure. We got to keep. Yeah. OK, OK. But I will say I'll let the short travel go last in this round. That that's fair. OK. Josephine, you still get a turn. Still get a turn. So this turn, Gracious, this short devil.

You call me racist and I'm like, Whoa, what did I do? Fucking human. Is there this short? He's going to he's going to it's going to take some lightning. So it needs to it needs to do a dexterity save it through. Oh, I don't his thing. Dexterity is not it's it's oh, man, it's a it's a demon. It's it's whoo. Fuck you, Karen. I'm so sorry. I dexterity save. Here we go. Ha. Three. So it's twelve. Oh, I don't. Yeah. His mother looks like. OK. Let me just bring this back up. OK, so here is the thing is that I am a really cool cleric. Wrath of the Storm cleric or not that one.

What is it? Nope, not that one. Not that one. Who said that? Who said who fucking said that? Because I did not say that. Um, my channel, I'm going to use my channel divinity. God damn it. I can't talk tonight. You got this. You got this. It's prerecorded. I could make you sound amazing. Just give me a second take. OK, it's going to take max max damage. So it's going to take 30 30 lightning damage. Oh, OK. Fuck. It's like that. Damn. Yeah. OK. I'm a terrible devil. Yeah. Honestly, that little face, I keep wondering what his voice is going to be like, like, oh, hey. I feel like his teeth look like a mustache to me.

If they do, he looks like a disaster test. Oh, let me just see when his eyes are not intimidating. So I. I honestly like you guys. Yeah, like the here's the thing. But to the mustache, I just think closeted gay man voice that they used to use in the 80s. Like, what was that cartoon where the guys like, oh, no, that guy. Oh, the family guy. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he can. Oh, no. So that's what he does when he gets hit by lightning. So that's a hate crime, Karen. I hope I get to move back a little bit, though, just because I feel like he's going to fuck you up.

He's going to hit you real hard. Maybe just like back here. OK. Behind the wolf. Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. No, we're friends. We're beyond the me playing coy. He's going to he's going to hurt you. Wolf. Help. Wolf. Help Wolf Wolf. Help Wolf. Go here. Save us Fido right against the short. Right. Goes for the short. Oh, man. No mercy. Right. With a short. You're talking this wolf. Do you are you giving it like an air bud type of fight or old a yellow type of vibe? What is the chopper signals? Like what what is the vibe? I mean, it is a hound of ill omen. So I feel like a lot of the vibe is in the name, right?

Like it's just kind of like wispy shadow, glowing eyes type deal kind of formless. But isn't. Yeah. But Fonky, this absolutely talks to him like his favorite puppy. Go get him. Go get him. Get his choice. Get his short. Right in the short boy. Eighteen in the short. Uh, 18 will hit. And we're going to do the damage. 10 damage. And I believe. Oh, wait, doesn't he have the ability? I don't know. Pearson damage in the target has the prone condition if it is huge or smaller. See, huge or smaller. Yeah, it drags it down. Because I will say it against that it just is. It's what it says.

It says the action by the dire wolf, it says it does one to ten plus modifier, piercing damage, and the target has the prone condition if it is huge or smaller. No safe. Fuck. Marking that down. OK, yes. And sounds good to me. That's my turn. Well, that's his turn. OK, prone. Fuck. OK, well, this short devil. So I could stand up, right? I could just. Yeah, it was a move. Oh, OK. I'll just take that off. He will stand up and he's going to stab the fuck out of this wolf for daring. Mm hmm. One. Oh, God. It has multi attack and it can make the short devil. You know what?

Someone out there is like, how dare you disrespect that? That is a that is a famous demon. And you guys are making a mockery. The short devil makes one claw attack and two renter attacks. The little swords. God, Thor. It makes four hurl flame attacks. So I guess we're just going to claw and and stuff against this wolf. Twenty six. Yeah, that hits. And 11 damage. And then he's got a couple of swords. A twenty two. Holy shit, that modifier. God, that's a demon. Yeah. Okey dokey. Wow. OK, that is the damage. All right. So it's detailed piercing damage, and then the the four D sixes are fire.

Hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah, I believe that kill. Yeah, that'll kill it. Kill the wolf. And it is going to advance on Karen. It's just going to go right for Joe five, 10, 15, 20 right here. You fucking you hit me. I am short and he is going to just swing at you. Oh, that was oh my. Oh, it's still hit. Didn't it move to stand up for? Oh, my gosh. Oh, you're right. Wait, oh, five, 10. That's only 15. It still gets like it's half the movement to stand up. It's almost almost though. Wow. Does Fonculous get an opportunity attack? Let's say one. Yeah, you would. Would you like one? I would love one.

I'm going to fucking bite it. I'm a vampire. Oh, shit. You get a hot cup on demon blood. Oh, my God. Oh, it's good stuff. Start slapping your head. It's got a bonus to all his roles. I mean, that would be hilarious. It's like, I don't know, getting drunk for vampires. Yeah, I mean, we know eating mortals like we know that that's like it's like, oh, shit. I don't I guess. Yeah, it's a demon. Like if you get a hold of it, if you get yourself, you bite its ankles or whatever, let's see. All right. It's 20, 20 plus four is the attack. No. Oh, well, OK. OK, well, that's a three snaps at it like a terrier as it walks by.

Right. It's the incident that is distracted by his face. It's like, why did they make your tasks like that? What is that? Yeah, it looks ridiculous. You look like someone took your picture and you weren't ready. Like, that's awful. Huh? So that's this damage to. Oh, my God. 25. Makes me want to throw up. Ah, 25. The Josephine, reducing her to fifty five. Oh, I have to roll for concentration. Oh, you do have to roll to keep that storm ago. Oh, no. Wait. Is the wait. Oh, it's 12 for concentration shit and has 11. I'll just that's OK. Just cast it again. It's fine. Yeah.

Yeah. Just cast it again. Guys, I get to roll for bad luck. Are we ready? Wait, wait. Hold on. No. OK, we're not done yet. Are we not? I was done. Yeah, except for he hit me and now I have reaction to that. Oh, so I'm going to use my wrath of the storm and he it needs to do a a dexterity saving throw. Hmm. DC 15. Oh, no. I got a three and still got a 12, but that's not going to be. That's going to be a lightning damage. He's going to say, you bitch. Yeah. And then because I also did lightning damage to it, it's going to get pushed back 10 feet for me. So wait one. Two, usually you do not get an opportunity attack because of a push.

But I'm going to give you one, Jameson, because. Because you just like seeing you snap at it. You just fight it again. Oh, no, don't fight me. Like just but do this, but out. Oh, something just bit me right now. I'd be real sour about it. Oh, geez. He's a demon. He's into rough stuff like that. So it's a 14 to hit. Fourteen's not going to hit. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm not willing to get closer to him. I'm just snapping from 10 feet away. Did that fight of a little dog? Well, I appreciate it. Yeah. Yes. Fighting away. I just want to know, little gnome, don't bite me. Just wait if this small fence wasn't in the way.

The screen door was near would be over for you. OK, now I'm going to roll for your bad luck. So you guys are hoping for low rolls. You don't want a high roll. OK, OK, OK. Six. That's not bad at all. So you'll notice that there's another d20, there's another little d20 on the other side. You saw that. Yeah. So right now, that bad luck means that if I crit, I get to do triple damage. Oh, only if I crit. So it's only for one round. It's only for the depending on the up to four attacks I get. But if I crit. Guys, that is the end of round two. Oh, I'm so excited. Oh, no, I don't like that one.

Mitt. Oh, no. Jordan is up first. I don't like that one. Mitt. Who hasn't rolled for good luck? I believe, Zach. Zach, you got to roll. Haven't yet. I know if you get a 20. Oh, my goodness. Just give me a d20, baby. You got it. Nine. Nine. It's been all there, but it's it's still only good. Yeah. All good things are good things. Zach, pick one of your teammates. All of their attacks are made with advantage this round. You can also pick yourself. I choose the rogue. OK, you have created before. These guys want my tiny vampire bite at advantage. I do now. I picture him leaning his butt into it's like, oh, no, little vampire.

Like he really wants it. But I bite him and all I get is this weird ass teeth. Just my teeth. Just tusks, dash. He lets out a mighty roar. Oh, what? Sorry. Just choked. Oh, fuck short devil. I'm going to I'm going to hurl flames at everybody. Fuck it. Here we go. I get four hurl flame attacks. I'm going to go right down the row. Here we go. This one is for Tatiana. Who? Oh, that's a two. OK, OK. This one is for Josephine. Oh, that's a two foot. So, gee, Sue, these kind of suck. OK, fine. 11 and a 13. This one, this one's for funculus. Remember, if I get a crit and I don't want to, but if I get a crit, it's triple damage, so. 20, not a crit, but yeah.

Yeah, no, that hits. OK, the hurl flame doesn't do as much damage, actually, so that's pretty cool. Just forty six. Oh, one, two, three, four. Wow. And this one's for Blevins. Like, here we go. You're up there. Oh, shit, if I hit you and you lose concentration, you fall, right? Potentially. I don't know. I don't think you do. I don't think you do. I think 120 feet, so I can. OK, here we go. Oh, oh, God. Twenty three. It does hit. Twenty one damage. Would you like me to put your health on your character so you can see it at a glance, all of you? Sure. That would be good.

Thank you. OK, of course. I'm here to help. I was going to type it, but has anyone seen Bernie with Jack Black? I have. That's the vibe I'm getting from the short demon. I'm sad now that nobody knows what I'm talking about, but some listener out there has seen that movie and can paint a picture now. Like, oh, I can see it. Concentration saving throw there, Zach. It's Constitution saving, right? That would be the one. Yes. Yep. I rolled it just now. It was a 60. Shit, you're fine. You're fine. You're good. You're fine. OK. He's done. Blevins, you're up. OK, we made it.

Wow. I think Blevins will. Swoop down. Right above him, go for two attacks with the right here. OK. God, his teeth are stupid. OK, well, first one hits. Second one does not. Fair enough. Damage. And, oh, oh, oh, minimum damage five. And using his feet mobile, he will whisk back up, even though it doesn't matter, he's shooting rays at me anyway. Well, yeah, but. It's worse if he gets close. Josephine, Karen, don't you run? Karen, right? She ran. She ran so far away. While we're waiting, I do have to make a con save for my Earth and Grass, I just realized. So. What's the Earth and Grass on?

It's on nothing right now, but I'm still maintaining the spell. Oh, it's not a situation. Yeah, it'll be a 15. Fine. Nice. 15. You're good. Cool. Karen, welcome back. Thank you. Are you ready? Oh, it's my turn. Oh, it's your turn. OK. OK, here's the thing. Mm hmm. Because we're halfway to failure, halfway to success. No, you're not. I thought we had two successes. Yeah, you have two. You got to get to seven. And I'm going to let you pick the skill. We need a 15 or higher or 14 or higher. Sorry. That's fun. Any skill, any skill you want, as long as you can justify. Paint me a picture.

You could use any skill you like. You could sleight of hand the bell, you go up there and just just like. Yeah, because I do have a plus seven to insight. And so I feel like as this ritual continues on, glean some like nuance behind the ritual and stuff. To be able to use the insight. Yeah, yeah. Basically, it's tied to gods. So it's like, hey, how are you guys feeling about all this? Like, you know, how's the new management? See if there are any vibes coming through the bell. Yeah, do it. Yes. Look for 14 or higher. If you succeed, I'll tell you. Fucking 14.

Karen. Good lord. I'll take that's three successes, two failures. Jamison, you look concerned. I'm stressed. No. OK. Yeah. OK. Did I forget to mention. Karen, you're going to be doing two checks every turn. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you that, but you didn't. I didn't. Now. I will because you succeeded. I'm going to get so you're kind of getting this vibe that the gods aren't really rooting for anyone, but they would be very appreciative if you can get rid of the undead influence in the city. You can kind of feel, but they're not going to do anything. It's like, look, we don't want to interfere, but it would be nice.

Not even a we're rooting for you. It's more it's like, you know. I'll let you pick one more because it's still your turn. I'll let you pick one more. OK. Can't be the same one, though. Hmm. Hmm. Um. Man, why did I pick the things that I picked to be proficient? What was 18 years ago, Karen, thinking when she was? I like I like to recruit people young. I really like to, you know, like make sure they, you know, stick around for a while, like at the MCU. I just feel like Josephine's life is like the the dare of clerics. They put it up on the mall like this is why you pay attention.

Right. Right. I'm going to need an answer. I'm trying to think of how I can justify. Medicine. Hmm. That's also my feeling, Don. Her like, oh, God, I hate you. Go boom. China, I'm trying to help you out. Yeah, I know. It was just so cheesy. Yeah. Like I but here's the thing. I. We're going for intent on this one, not literal. Yeah. So, yeah. OK. Yeah. So, yeah, it's like you're spreading essential oils all over. Yeah. Undead going. So it's like, oh, what can I use in my medicine? Repertoire for undead, you know, stuff like that. It is. Well, check higher. We did a 15 or higher.

There is. I guess you succeed. It goes up. That should make you proud. Oh, that's so cool. Aaron, what are you doing? That's a 15, just a 15. You're a fucking B student over here. I tell you what you need for the test. You're like, well, I'll get that in only. You live it on the edge. Yeah. 70 percent. Like, it's fine. Hey, how long does my man now you're halfway to success, baby, that's four successes, two failures and you get a turn. Well, wow. God, I'm just going to heal everybody. OK, I'm going to do I'm going to do a mass I think it's called Mass Cure Wounds.

Are you going to cure me to? Nope. Everybody but the short devil. Listen, if you want to join the party instead of kicking our ass, let's do it. I'm down. We were party members when we need one. OK. Oh no. One, two and five for a total of 11 hit points back to everybody. I got you. I appreciate it. That includes you, right? It includes me. Yes. Yeah. I got you guys. Bam. You see, everybody's back to green. Lovely. I love it. And that's anything else for you. Actually, I'm going to get a little bit away from whatever is happening over here. OK. No, like like like just away from like.

And it looks like there's a corridor over there. Yeah. I see you. The voice of naughty little cleric, I'm going to get you. Yeah. What are you doing hiding over there? I'm going to get you. Can I get you all some sweet tea? I'm sorry. I love sweet tea. I'm telling you, you all need to watch Bernie. It's like a spy. I took a screenshot of this combat. I'm going to post it in the discord when this episode gets lost so people can see what this stupid thing looks like. I've never taken something that could kill me so unserious. Here's the thing. Let me give you its fucking actual like, OK, I want to see its body, too, though.

Here's the thing. This guy would be on Grindr and he's only taken neck down. Yeah. Yeah. Look at him. Look at. Oh, wow. I can shed from the neck down and then you get to the head and it's gone. All that is gone in that gut, though. All that. Yeah. Why are you saying I got no with Geez, I got some furry pants. Yeah, I didn't see those coming. That's the that's the style. Double belt situation. That's that's really like, oh yeah, business on top. This party on the bottom. Holy cow. I had a little known here lacked furries. It's not. It's the article. Please tell me your name.

By the way, Harry, because I kept getting just hair. It's like living in a house with a husky. It's like, oh, yeah. Now, I imagine when Fonklin was like trying to bite it, it is running by. You're biting like your bush. Yeah, you're going to be scared of the air. I'm going to smell like. That's creepy. Yes. Oh, my God. Let's see if we're rolling on that crit table. I should have showed you the whole picture. I feel like it. Oh, fuck. Oh, shoot. I lost my mouse. There we go. Is that without advantage? Because you do have advantage. I was without a man. Wow. Yeah. Uh, well, we're rolling on that crit table, baby.

Sorry, short. Oh, it is silly. I hope it's silly. Did you roll? Oh, I thought you did. You want me to do it? No, no, no, no. I want you to do it. This is yours. You've done it. OK. Oh, gosh. I don't know why it's been so long. I couldn't remember. Nine unreliable armor. In addition to standard critical hit damage, the target's AC is reduced by two for the remainder of the encounter. His pants fell off those big furry pants. I've gone. Furry pants. Yeah, no, it is. He's so veiny down there. Every bullet he wants to cover those up. Like he's not well, he's ripped, but like he's got like grandma veins in his legs.

Like it's just not very he's like, OK, I'm up with furry pants. What did you think I meant? You pervert. I was just talking about the man's tankles. And this year, you were, you know, like a cyclist. Got those calves. Don't fucking gaslight me, Jason. OK, I can't help it if you're a sinful person. I hope you're running this peachy podcast. Oh, gee, give me some crit damage and I think it's not. Yeah, yeah. You think that's doubled? You know, it's OK. OK, so I'll do the regular critical dice and then nine damage, nine damage plus double sneak. Are you sure? Yes.

Double sneak dice. OK, I'm not going to say no. Oh, my God. So many. Well, I got a lot of ones there. That was a lot of ones. That's a lot of ones. Yeah, like a lot. One, two, three, four, five, six ones. Oh, that is going to bloody this demon. And as a result of being bloody. Um, why does it all need to be mad? That's not right. Oh, you can see my temper now. On his turn, he gets to make eight flame attacks. Shut up. OK, so on his turn, I'm just going to hide behind this. Where did that arrow come from? I don't know. I'm going to get you. This is my new favorite character.

It's supposed to be such a suspenseful thing that I may get into the book. I'm just a dumb fucking face ruined it. Oh, fabulous. All right. Right. Oh, big C. Short, a great short. So veiny down there. Give me the wolf back. Give me the wolf back. Let's get this fucking let's make a thing serious. Need something in between you. Yeah, I need my dog. Oh, shit. Too big. Too big. No, it's OK. I don't mind. Yep, there's perfect. Thank you very much. Perfect. Right in between. So it's short than Wolf and Funk. So I can move the the hand right to this guy. I don't need to recast it, but he does need to make a strength for a disadvantage.

Oh, I'm so strong, though, you'll see. He does the Zumba. He rolled a three and it's a. Oh, you bitch. Oh, you don't get it extra, little man. And fabulous erupts in shadow and he goes to move behind this other pill over here. Oh, what a bitch move. Oh, my God. OK. I am so mad at this choice. A half. OK. I'm starting to want to spin off of this guy when we kill him in hell. I'm not going to lie. Kevin Larkin is going to tell you guys, you found this really cool guy. Yes. Guys, meet Big C. Big C and Larkin, it's them. This guy. No, this guy. And it's. I'm dead. You can't leave your clothes all over the couch.

Their bodies, their bodies, their bodies in hell. Did you shave your legs in the shower again? All right. OK, OK. Then the wolf. Sorry. So he is restrained. Wolf gets advantage. Cool. All right. We'll get a change on this bike. Oh, we'll drop it to to take a 914 that will not hit. Hmm. Cool. All right. That concludes both our terms. He's still restrained. That is a weight shift. I almost forgot, guys. Oh, whoa, whoa. I got to roll for bad luck. Oh, no. Here we go. Bad luck. Oh, what's only a four? We want love. Oh, does that mean your triple damage is ended? Yeah, it is. Yes, that means that's it.

Yeah. Yeah. It also means I'm restrained for those attacks, so that's not great. I don't like that. Makes me so mad. I can't tell if that voice is horribly offensive. I don't know. I don't mean it to be. I just just need a voice. I don't think it's nice. I mean, OK, I sent the full body picture to Ian and he really liked it. I'm sure he did. This was your for Ian. He and not being present is honestly the worst thing I've ever done to him. I think I might make this warlock patron in the new campaign. I might make it short. I honestly might don't do that. Oh, my God.

I hear me out, buddy. So that's the beautiful thing about devil packs. They're seldom like your choice who you deal with. You don't get to pick who you match up with. I'm going to give you so much power, but I'm not the one you have to talk into it. We'll see. I don't think he's so hard to do. I'm very, very hard to the big C fighting for power down there with Darmock. I really see. Oof. Freaky. Well, Jamison, we're back to you. No, sure. We need to roll for good luck. Give me a 20, please. A 20 and something magical happens. Wouldn't be cool if I rolled a 20 here.

Oh, my God. Oh, that hurt. 14, 14, 14. Good. We know, but it's so close to 14. Good. 14. Good. Guess what? Everybody this round has advantage on saving throws. OK, OK. And it is time to reroll for round four. It's going to be Blevins, Josephine, Wolf, Fonculous, Chort, Tatiana. Blevins first, really? Yep. So I think let's see. See, I'm still holding concentration, which is good. So I just might go in and go for another two strikes. You're a little off, Mike, sir. Oh, sorry. I was looking at my other screen here. You're good. Yes. Two strikes coming in. Fly in and try his luck.

You have advantage because he's restrained. Oh, it's all tied up and he hates it. I bet he does. Oh, he hates it. Hmm. 22, that'll hit. Oh, my God. You rolled a one and a two for your second attack. So that first one will hit, though. I'm also going to use the last bardic inspiration I have on the Shadowhound. Oh, interesting. Oh, she wags us down. Bites are nice. You got to roll damage for your attack. So I get so excited about those inspiration die. Look at my day. OK, that's six damage, though. I since he's below half health, I have placed his health bar on the table.

You can see it now. Blevins will fly back up to his position. Josephine. Hello. Hello. We're doing a random round this time, so we're doing random skills. And don't forget, it's got to be twice. So here we go. Whoa. That's fun. Investigation. Can I get an investigation check, please? Sure. Oh, makes sense for a book. Yeah, totally. That was so close to a twenty. Fifteen just clears it. That means it goes up to sixteen now. That is five successes and two failures. OK, and I still have a bardic inspiration and a regular inspiration. Yes, you do. You do. We got this. Can I get a survival check, please?

Sure. I definitely need to survive. Oh, that's a one. Oh, no. Oh, we're going to we're going to reroll that. Are we? Oh, OK. You're all that word. Yes, please. Yes, I am. Howard, I'm ashamed of it. No, you got to do that. That's just God damn it. Still not good. Oh, 13 still fails. You have do you have a bardic inspiration? You have a bardic inspiration, right? You do. Do you want to use your bardic inspiration? You only got to roll a three or higher care. OK, so you got to roll. OK, let's do it. Come on. You love it. Oh, you love it. You student, you. Well, you did it. You just passed.

I guess you don't do summer school. Good job. Mediocre ritual. Have you ever been performed? Oh, you know, believe this. This is barely edible. You're going to love it. Hey, that's that. That that is six successes. Now you've almost done it. There's one more wrinkle. We'll get to it. You have a whole damn turn and there's a big, veiny short standing right in front of you. Veiny short. I hate you. OK, I'm going to be out there. Send us your art of what you think of veiny short looks like. Just pop it right in the discord, whatever that might be. First thing that pops into your head.

Combine that voice with veiny short. Thank you. I think I think we need to get rid of this veiny short. Let's cast lightning. At fifth level. And it needs to do a dexterity seven throw, please. It does it with disadvantage. Oh, you're strange. Oh, drop that to take a fucking one. So fabulous as Earth and Grass was the MVP. Man, I think it's true. This short was unstoppable until, well, 10. I failed. So. All right. And so now we're going to do your worst. Damage. 26 damage. Fuck, that's pretty bad. That's pretty bad. That's no good. I don't like it. That's it. Hmm. Hmm.

Yeah. Dire Wolf, doggy bite with advantage, with advantage. Oh, my God, that's a crit. There it is. The effects are great. I love it. I kind of like them. I don't know. The only thing I told somebody, I'm worried because one of them is just turds. If you it's the poop emoji over and over again, if you fail. And that's funny until someone's having a real bad day. And that's the final straw. Like, I'm I don't think the poop emoji is going to do it, Jason. You're OK. I've had days I've had days where it's like, like it's all over screen. It's like, all right. OK, like that's it.

All right. That's the last drop. And do you want to roll to see if it's on the table? Oh, shoot. Yeah. Are you roll damage, but yes, please. Yeah, I mean, that's part of the. Yeah. Well, it's a D6 to see if it's on the table first. OK, well, I got excited. Information. Yeah, we're going to take it. Oh, that's good. You saved us. You saved us looking. That is a 16 gusher. The target suffers the damage rolled for this attack or spell each round until he seven damage. Wow. Seven damage every time it takes a turn. Wow. You know, he's prone because the wolf bit him and pulled him down.

Yes. Get on your knees, short. You know, OK, I'm on my knees. What now? What now? What are we doing? Got me, Mr. Big man. You can't have your bidding. I'm all tied up. I'm down on my knees. So vainly. Let's go. I hate it. You can't have me in my fucking emergency. What, Karen? I can't wait. I can't wait for Brienelle to ask me what the fuck happened in this very serious session that I've been prepping and talking about all day. Fuck. Uh, Fonculous, you're up. Uh, Fonculous walks out. He just leaves. OK, that's that's where you go in. We got what we got to maintain the earthen grasp so he can make as an action.

You can cause a hand to crush the restrained target and must make a strength saving throw. It takes 26 bludgeon damage on a failed save. This is at disadvantage, obviously. And say, Oh, Mr. Man, you're going to use the hand to finish the job. Twenty three. Yeah, no, does that. I don't think he gets out. He just takes half damage. He just take. Oh my God. Really still takes to me. People just have damage. One, the six hits the earthen grasp as a point of of is it to do six damage halved or is it just one to six damage? It's to do six damage halved. OK. Three, I guess.

Yeah. Great. OK. Anything else? Do you want to give me triple disadvantage? Do you want to just knock the mouse out of my hand? Do you do what else with? Not this round. OK, cool. We will be doing it. Yes. Big C. Let's see. Let's see. I'm fucking prone and restraint, so I can't stand up. I'm. Fuck it, I'm taking those eight fires that fuck you guys, hurl flame at everything. We're going to start with this fucking wolf. They're all at disadvantage. All right. You had eight bullets. He's rolling 16 times to get the eight lowest. Don't teleport. That's cheating. She knows my balls.

I'm going to teleport. I'm teleporting. I'm teleporting. I don't want to play no more. You guys cheat and I'm going to. Here's here's here's the thing. I'm going. No, I don't like it. Funky list goes, I didn't know I could do that. So I'm going to stand up and then take my eight hurl flame attacks, you fucking cheaters. He said with. Let's see, Blevins gets one. Let's go. Jesus, we can tell you and her playing with two actions. Yes. Oh, my God. So I say he also had magical resistance, which I haven't been using. So what are you going to do? Yeah, that would have helped.

Would have helped me roll it not disadvantage once or twice. Oh, that is how will the whole 24 damage. Whoof. Let's let's give two to Josephine because. Did you lose concentration? I did. What? Right now, I'm in the air flying. How far are you? Well, it's it's your world, God. How tall is you? We established this the second floor. Oh, shit. Oh, no. Oh, you hit every round. I didn't save lemons. His normal spot was where his head was almost touching the ceiling. So that's what I said. I appreciate your honesty. I do. As a point of order, we do get advantage on saves this round.

Can Zach roll that save again? Oh, yes. Yes. It is a yes. It's concentration safe. Do it. Do it. Do it. What would you do without you, Jamison? The exact same. Exactly. Man, good. Good try. Wait, you have inspiration. Oh, you have inspiration. Yeah. If you roll a fucking eight against that, I swear to God. Oh, there we are. Oh, my God. Crit 20. OK, this is one of those situations where, you know, people are yelling at their at their podcast audio right now. No, yes. So, OK, you're in the air because you would have taken a D six for every 10 feet you fell and that would be bad.

So, yeah, I think that equals a compound fracture. So, OK, so, Josephine, you get to OK. Ah, 19. Yeah. And oh, shit. 27. Hmm. 24 damage and 16 damage. Oh, yeah. I'm going to take a reaction to that. OK. Yeah. What would you like to do? I'd like to throw some lightning at you. Oh, so you got to do a dexterity saving throw. OK, OK. That's being mean to me earlier. Yeah, you were mean to me just now. Great. Fuck. 27. You I think you still take half damage. That's just petty. Yeah. Yeah. You go. Half of that, you get four damage, four damage. Look at that health bar. Oh, look at it, Egan down.

Look at it. Let's give two to Focculus and two to Tatiana. Mm hmm. You've got a thing you're going to do, don't you? Well, no, I was just going to remind you walking blue deck. You fucking come on. He's taking damage from your table, Jason. He needs to take seven damage. You're right. Right. Blue. I never in my. I don't have to take this. OK, shit. I usually play melee and that's it. I never get to play so spell casters. Well, you I. That's why rules are in place, I guess, because it rules one for funk. Yes. Oh. And two for funk. Oh, yes. 28. So damage twice. That is 20 damage.

And both ones and twos, 11 damage. OK, so concentration save at advantage. What you're supposed to take an 18, 20 is fine. You're good. I'm also going to use the no miss ability fade away to become invisible after he hits me with that. Oh, that's cool. Well, technically, you could have done that after the first one. That's true. So I'll give you the 11 health back. Yeah. OK. I think that's only fair. You go. He goes and he just vanishes. Nope. Time out. Nope. That wasn't supposed to happen. He's not supposed to be just. I know you're going to I know you're going to hit me, Jason, but I am hiding behind a pillar as a rogue.

So I'm just going to throw that out there as like a possible little thing that maybe I'm hiding. Did you roll a stealth check for me? No. Yeah. Do you want to do you want to do it? You want to do it? Yes, he has line of sight. He can see you, but it's in the shadows. So I'll give you. Yeah, I'll give you a go for it. Oh, yeah. Stealth roll. Stealth roll. Give it. Here we go. Hey, you know, she is. Wait, that's a crazy role. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, bitch. You have a five and you have a twenty two. What did you do? Is there a rogue ability to give you a no idea?

Yeah, yeah. It's reliable talent. So any like low anything lower than a ten becomes an automatic ten. I do have plus twelve. Yeah. I'm sorry I called you a bitch. I I'm OK. Using your natural abilities. String, we hi. I saw you twenty two and I'm like, wait, wait. My caveman brand. It's like this. No, no, no, no. OK, wow. Shit. Yeah, no, you're hidden. I'll have to hit other people. OK, fuck it. I'm so spooky. Damn well, and well, you're hit. What do you think is going to happen? He says, stop attacking. Well, I thought he'd miss me, honestly. He don't think maybe you is going to.

Where's redhead? Oh, she's gone. And this just blemishes Josephine. So I got what, four more of these. And guys, I'm sorry. Fuck thing. You wouldn't hit a man in the air, would you? Again. Yeah. Whoa, that's me. On a crick one. I'll take that one. Son of a bitch. I think that was. OK, not on the table, though. It's just, oh, it's a roller coaster. Levins, just take the damage. One more. More. Twenty. I cast shield. OK, and I woke up. Oh. I almost asked, can you do that? Yes, absolutely. You can do that. You bitch. Now, let's see. Josephine. Whoa. Oh, yeah. Twenty six. I'm like, do I have anything?

Oh, my God. That was twenty two. With so much, it takes you down to four health, four health Josephine. And I've got one more ball of flame. Jason, how much am I here for? I was hit by that, by the way. People at 20 were. I was joking about the shield. Oh, oh, oh, shit. OK, yeah. Here's here's this. That is. Oh, my God. Oh, look at all these. Twenty one damage. Got to make another con say here. God hits no. When you're good. You're scared. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well. Going to throw this at Josephine. Here we go. One more bullet in the chamber. One more. That's it. Going to make you stop casting this nasty ritual.

But now he's going to use finger guns and he's going to shoot. Oh, my God. One. Yeah, it's. Oh, 18. You are one. You are one check away from completing this ritual, but you are knocked out and every time it is your turn. That'll be two failures if you don't wake up, which means you will fail the ritual if you don't wake up. OK, now. All is not lost. There's still the good luck role. Oh, but there's also still a bad luck role. But that is the end of this demon's turn. And that brings up Tatiana. You are hidden from the shadows. Yeah, I feel like such an asshole.

I didn't know that was going to happen. But I like that at no point did you go, wait, no. What am I supposed to do? I already did the thing. OK, it Adam. I wrote the dice. Right. Well, Tatiana is going to see Joe go down and like there's nobody else that can do this ritual. So I'm going to I'm going to run over and try to get her. OK, try to get her stable, which is not my strong suit. So this is going to go great. But I have bardic inspiration and I have regular inspiration. So you're so fucking inspired. Just give me a medicine check. Inspired. OK, I believe it's got to be a ten or higher.

OK. OK, that's a six six, but I'll use my D10. It's a deton. Yeah, it is a detail. Boop. No, no, no, no. Josephine is stable. Stable, Josephine. So that means that there's no checks needed, right? So. We still have a problem in that she is still unconscious, but not dying. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And I wish I had a potion right about now, but I don't I don't have any of that. I have forgotten something crucial. Oh, no. And I is that the end of your turn, Kati? Yeah, that's my action, pretty much. So I we all forgot about Trent for four rounds, four rounds of Trent. So you something, baby?

Here's the thing. Jar Jar Beaks gets initiative rolls. I'm good. I'm going to give you a choice. Trent can take four attacks right now against this demon or. Mm hmm. Trent can catch in those four. Turns. Run over and give Josephine mouth to mouth resuscitation, giving her one hit point. Only a kiss from a prince will awaken this maiden. I think that's Josephine's choice. Consent is key, Joe. It is. Yeah, no, he won't do it. Yeah. Oh. Here's a. She's like, I don't know, is death better? I don't know. Let's see. I think how much damage could Trent actually do with this crossbow?

He'd have to hit first. And right. And how much damage? That's not right. How much damage could you do psychologically to Joe? Like you have to think about that, too. But how much sexual healing can be transmitted? Transmitted is the wrong word. I'm sorry. That's right. I think probably will. My HP can be. Can can I ask whether we can roll initiative for the next round first before we decide? I feel like because it's the end of the fourth round, this has to be this has to be decided now. OK, but what if what if he holds his action for one more round? Can you be able to?

So he's just prepped over. It's like, hmm. Blue on chapstick. Yeah. No, if it's going to be this one, that's fine. I just, you know, kind of want to see what the order is. First time before. I didn't expect it to be this hard for you. Karen. That's the point. dies or I mean, I feel like I'd rather be conscious with one hit point. Right. So that way I could heal myself. Yeah. Just think of him as like a like a breathing like a healing potion. I really just rather not think of it at all. Well, that's a shame because I'm about to describe it. So. So Trent's going to come running out of the shadows.

He's been hiding behind a pillar this entire time. It's like, oh, shit, I forgot. And he's going to run. And he's going to like he's going to pat Tati on the shoulders like, don't worry, baby, I got this. And he's going to he is going to like lean sweaty. No, no, no, no. He's fresh. He's ready to come in. Right. So he's got his Burt's Bees like he's going to put that on his lip and and he's going to lean over and yeah, yeah, yeah. Like his dreads are going to hang over Josephine's face. So it's like a little privacy curtain for a moment. Only they share and he is going all the sounds.

Yeah, yeah. Very gently. Meanwhile, a demon in the background. Ciao, Dylan. So he's going to lean down very gently. Hmm. And you will awaken with one hit point. And the first thing you will see is Trent's face. Hey, hey, am I back in hell? And he's going to. I don't want you to catch a baby girl. I'm I belong to another, but I couldn't let someone as beautiful as you die. You're doing great, by the way. I believe in you. And he's going to fade back behind a pillar. Hey, I try. Lady love. That's yeah, no, this is this is about life or death. Like she's understand business.

Yeah, this is this business. This is a serious affair. Hey, roll for bad luck. Yeah, let's skip that part. Oh, eight. Oh, eight. Hey, that's that's not amazing. So nothing like nutso is going to happen. Hey, there we go. So the only thing is that the check for the ritual is going to go up by one. So instead of it being 16, you need to roll heaven to complete it. That's it. That's all that's it. You get two chances. To get two chances not to come in under the wire or anything. Guys. Oh, baby. Oh, baby, it's so fucking close and we're heading into round five. Rerolling the short devil goes first again.

Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. He's so short. Everyone do me a favor at this point. Yeah, at this point, I think he's gotten his wrath out. He's like he's he's done. I want everybody who is visible to give me a D20 and whoever rolls lowest gets targeted. Karen. Oh, Zach. Zach. Zach, buddy. Yeah. Just immediately after my my disgusting role, these celebration 20. You're not going to get killed. Hi. Zach rolls one. Right. And also 20. Karen wants to live. OK, that's good. You know what that is? That's the infusion of Trent. That is the injection of simply Trent. It's inspiring.

Oh, thank you, Zach. I'm so I'm so sorry. You're going to get to hurl flames. Technically, it's supposed to be four, but I just had eight. So he's going to slow down a little bit. Ha. Oh, that is fuck. Twenty four twenty would knock you out, wouldn't it? Yes. OK, well, I have good news. Even taking max damage from that height, it wouldn't kill you out. Right. I don't. Wait. It depends how high it is. I mean, it does depend how far can I go in a single turn because I have to go to him in back. Right. Well, you can fly quite a distance. OK, then I think we need to do a little math, baby.

Let's say fly. You get to wait. OK. You fly seat is 60 feet, so you'd have to be OK. So then that means simple math would say that you can't be more than 60 feet above him after your turn and you're using half of that to get down to him. So I would say you're probably around 40 feet in the air. Definitely sounds fair to me. If he was if he was as high as he could be and he swoops down, attacks and swoops back, he couldn't be higher than 30 feet up. Right. Because he has to use half his movement to go each direction. Well, I guess I'm picturing it different, like I'm picturing you flying like just within reach and like hitting him in the skull.

But like if you're getting down to his level, that's fine. Either way, you're going to fall. Yeah. But you're not going to die. Yeah, I go with 40 just, you know, it's fine. Yeah. OK, so you are unconscious, but not dead. But that means I have one more attack. Who rolled second lowest here? Tati. Oh, you technically have my fly in my sleep. Shh. That was the short devil's roll. I know. No, this one is, though. Ha ha. 18 damage for the Hurl flame. Oh, that's a lot of 20. Can I use my cunning action to take half? Yeah, I'm sorry, my uncanny dodge. That's what yeah, that's what I thought.

Yeah, it's a little bit like words. That brings you up to 69 health. No. Tati, you're up. Oh, geez, Louise. OK, I don't I can't heal you, Josephine. I'm sorry. I have literally nothing to help you with that. Hey, she's got one hit point. She's fine. She's got Trent. You know, I realized every tank we had just systematically left our party, by the way. Our tanks. Why? Even the one handed guy would have been help like. Oh, that will hit 20. Wait, did we reroll our luck? No, no, we didn't. Zach had this one. Reroll that lock and on a 20 something magical happens. 12.

That's fine. That's fine. All of you get to roll a hit die right now. Oh, shot. You get one, everybody gets one even use that. Five damage from the short bow, you also get sneak attack damage. I actually don't because he hit me last. That's right. I'm sorry. That's OK. It's going to abide by the rules or whatever. Proud of you, but five. You know what? He's he's not looking great. I mean, he never looked great, but like, you know, funky. OK, we're going to. Here's where it all falls apart for me. Know what we're going to do? We're actually going to hold our action until after the dire wolf.

Oh, OK. Oh, dire wolf's going last. Yeah, that's all right. Short already went so. It's true. Levens, you're. So I wrote a two for a hit die, I think. OK, six, but that would have been at the beginning. And I don't I don't think that that would keep you. OK. Oh, that's not this turn, but like it would have been at the beginning of the round. And I don't think that that would have saved you. So give me a death saving throw. Oh, God. That's a two. That's one failure. Could have been worse. Josephine. Hi. I'm still trying to figure out how to roll a hit die on here. Where is it?

Oh, don't worry about that. You're fine. OK, fine. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry about that, because right now. OK. We are at the precipice of three possible conclusions. Either you fail both of these roles and it's game over, you succeed either one of your roles. And you've done it. Or a secret third thing that can happen. OK. Now. You have to roll a 17. Hmm. For the next two. I need you to give me religion and arcana. We got to close it out, how we opened it now, how you feel about these roles. Not great. Hmm. Hmm. Looking for a 17. 17 will bring it home. That's a 12. That's one failure.

Six successes, three failures. We're looking for seven before four. So whatever you roll this next time. For your arcana check. We'll end this campaign. Give me an arcana check, please, and I need it to be 17 or higher. There's no more inspiration, no more bardic. Oh, nothing. No pressure. Oh, I thought you. Oh, baby. No, I think I've ever done in this game. I just did everywhere. Jamie, back to being filthy. Good job. OK, then. Holy shit. Oh, that is a crit. Yes, true. Now go back to cleric school and just pull out your milk with a resounding last blast of energy into this bell.

You are going to rip apart the short demon gone. This net is going to completely cast itself over this one mile, and every single undead entity, every creature is gone. Obliterated ash. Not present company. We we know we we we were very clear. And after this huge pulse. Goes off. The bell is just going to be inert again and fall to the ground. And the city of Donhurst is now completely empty. Except for the people in this church. What is Josephine do or say after this? I think she's going to look around the church to kind of assess. Where because I mean, she was unconscious and she came awake and then there was Trent and then whatever just kind of assess where everyone is.

And she's going to see Blevins. Unconscious body in the corner and kind of stumble over to him to heal him. But as she's going, she's going to look over it like Tati and Fonk and say it's it's done. I'm going to heal Blevin. It's a bury that thing, I never want to see that thing again. I feel like we should probably bring it to somebody, lock it up. Light is going to start streaking in through the windows and cracks of this church, because not only did the ritual get rid of all of the undead influence, it also got rid of the influence of the Rod of Wonder and the sun can come out at noon.

So not only are there no vampires here, this is a happy ending for everyone and a bittersweet ending for Fonculous. But he can hide in a backpack. It'll be fine. I cast darkness on myself. Hell no. Big dome of black around me. No. And. As the sun streaks in and you can hear birds chirping again, and it's almost as if everything was put to sleep around this place, but for the first time, signs of life are sort of exploring the city once again, and it's this gorgeous site, even though the city's rubble. It's now. It's now kind of got the second chance, like it can be repaired.

Things can happen again here, and. I think that's a beautiful time for us to stop. The campaign. I would love to go around the table and as a little closing, tell me what your character would want to do after this. Like what? What are your what's your aim? What's your like, you know? I think we should start. I think we should start with Karen. Unless you want to go last at your right. Yeah, let me go last. I can think of. OK, that's fair. That's fair. I put the fucking screws to you tonight. Like, yeah, you did save the city. Zach hit me. So, you know, especially immediately after when we're all trying to gather our bearings, Blevins is going to amble up and he'll just going to say to basically everyone, but really Josephine, you'll say by Embry, you've done it.

You've done it. She whispered in my ear. It could be done and you've done it. You are a hero. We're all heroes. I shall sing of this. I will tell your tale and your tale. And he's pointing to everybody and your tale. You will all be famous by Embry. You will all be famous. Then afterwards, like when we're all said and done, he'll just do exactly what he says. He's just he's just going to be a roaming missionary, celebrating wherever he can, just spreading the beautiful word of Embry and the deeds he's done in her name. And about this party, how we were literally forsaken in hell, came back, had all these crazy adventures and.

The Paladin Larg will be in his stories and he will roam. The mainland. I don't know if you know he'll be in this party and anybody wants to join him, but that's just what he'll do. Because he promised the God a long time ago, who gave him back his youth that he would. Jamie Tatiana is. Not only are there no vampires, but there's no Ripley. It's it. I mean, talk about second chances, right? Like. I know it's kind of crazy. Tatiana definitely feels this pull to. Do better in. Theria, because like coming from hell, you kind of have that inclination to not want to go back there.

But I think her first step would probably be popping into Fairbay. It's been a very long time. Her family thinks that she's dead, which she was. So she'll probably want to check in on them and then would most likely look for Braylin just to see what he's been up to and then would probably come back here. Like, I've got people that I need to check in on, but then like I want to see what is going to happen with the city now that we've restored it. Like there's nobody in charge, right? So like who's to say anybody even finds out that the city is clear? You know, so I think Tatiana wants to follow up on that and just make sure that it gets in the right hands this time and it doesn't fall into another Ripley.

Just sort of like making sure that she's tying the loose ends to make. Not make any more mistakes with her choices. Jamison. Fonculous says goodbye to the party pretty quickly. First of all, because he's not leaving because it's sunny out. So darkness, he literally like buries himself, right? He's got mold. So he just like burrows and he stays in Donhurst. When night falls, he's going back to the Countess's castle and he's the only vampire in town. So it is now the honey hugs the state as far as he's concerned. Looks like that's a big bear. And he he that's what he wanted since he woke up.

He's like, no, this place is nice, guys. I'd say it's a fixer upper vote, I think. And he will with time. He will probably make a visit back to Astor in one way or another to try to was Astor Hall. No, Ebony Harbor, where the original honey hugs family was. And whatever's left of it, if there's anything left of it or even if there's not, he will transfer it. Or start a new back to Donhurst, and he will start a new honey hugs trade empire out of his estate. Yes. Nice. And we're back to Karen. So Josephine is going to advocate for taking the the bell and maybe the instruction booklet with it and probably try to find her way back to the ravens, because she doesn't really have any one that she wants to revisit.

But she remembers her time working with the ravens before hell and after we met them, remembers and now knows that they're still a thing. So wanting to do. Better, like Tatiana, she'll try to see what she can do with that organization and probably see if they can take the bell or or find it, find a good home for the bell. That's not just with a random man in a church. You said hero wrong, but OK, that's fine. Trent, by the way, now that it's safe to leave, is going to set out on a quest to find his lady love, his betrothed, his his one and only. And guys, congratulations for making it through this and out on the other side for real.

Holy shit. Good job. It was hard fun. Came into the last role. Seriously. Mm hmm. Yeah. Hey Karen, don't let anybody say you're not clutch with the dice. I just wish I wasn't like that. It was so suspenseful, like literally every role. Right. I know you're rolling in things you had no skill proficiencies for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Can't do any better than that. You added a layer of suspense to the episode. It weren't for that short demon. That's correct. In a small, small post-credits scene, if I could. Please. I think that however far down the road this is, if this is six months or a year down the road, when Tatiana comes back to Don Hurst and Fonculous is there, I think he'd probably find her at some point.

He knows who comes and goes. There's not that many people here yet, right? It's like eight people here. You're slowly tripping back. And he would offer to convert her to make her a vampire and have her run the empire with them. Oh, shit. No, no pressure. No, no pressure. But look at the skills. You want to live? Yeah, I fixed this house. There's a lot of rooms. We think how I swear I won't put you to sleep. Like the crowd is put me to sleep on the high shelves. It's why I like why why Tati? Was it just it's like, hey, you're reliable or basically it's like I know you I don't know anybody else.

All the vampires I knew were gone. All everybody else was. Most families he knew were gone. But like a familiar face comes back who actually like was capable and competent and, you know, that kind of thing. So it's one of those like I need you know, I'm not running this by myself. However, successfully he is at it. It's basically like you want a job. It's a lot of job security and you can live hundreds of years. You know, I don't I don't think Tati would say no, but I think she would be worried about like the the killing, the killing people thing, because like I'm trying to be better.

I'm trying not to hurt innocent people, you know? I know we've been sourcing it ethically lately. It's been pretty good, mostly animals, but, you know, criminals made a point to say there's a bunch of animals in town again. Like there's true. True. That's true. Just grab a bird, pop the cat, you know. And that's where you can roast it up for someone. Yeah, you know, you can come work for me and then if you decide in five, 15 years, then. And that's what I think would probably happen is like as time went by and they sort of like rebuilt buildings and like streets and brought in people, Tatiana and Fonculous would probably get to know each other more and she'd be more keen on the idea of like living forever.

But I don't think she would. I don't think she would be completely averted to it. I think eventually she would come around and be like, you know what? I can probably do more if I was around here more. Well, how about you think about it? And I'll ask you later, because Arc 6 is just around the corner and we're doing stuff for that. Oh, OK, so I think that's a good time for us to stop. I'm good job. Holy shit. Yeah. I'm glad to be the last episode of the Arc, right? That's got to be so good. I see. Yeah. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
