Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Metagaming by Rum Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Yes, this fucker. No, that said fucker has
arrived. Makes my butt hole fucker oh.
In a good way. You'll never know.
Welcome everyone to Secret Invasion Part 5.
Hopefully this will be the finale.
So I think everybody here was here last week except for Ash.
Or are we up one, down one, up one?
Everyone, everyone was here, was here last week and down, except
for at Jesse who is not here. So we're down just down one,
that's all. OK.
Cool. So last session you guys had
just defeated a large tree like tentacle monster in the in the
yard of the Ross Correctional Facility about an hour South of
Columbus, OH. The creature had been turning
people into zombies and had been hooking them at you and other
prisoners. Upon defeating this creature,
you guys met with me or my alter reality person persona, who
arrived to sit you guys down and update you as to exactly what
the fuck was going on. You guys learned over the course
of the next hour or so that you were there, that because of your
rhythmic veracity, many of the D&D characters from their your
own games have gained awareness of this reality that they
themselves were creations of your and their his imagination.
And in particular, quite dangerously, Josh had given an
item that was known to be the root of all evil to one of these
characters. This is, of course, before he
knew any of this was actually real, so he can't be mad at him.
This character that got this item, the root of all evil,
Franklin was my own character, who has a particular grudge
against me for giving him the worst back story I could
conceive of. His mission was to invade this
plane, as far as I know, hunt me down, and kill me by any means
necessary. Part of his plan was to cause a
zombie apocalypse to occur here on this plane as he knows that
there are no real deities nor real clerics on this plane and
no way to truly stand like stomp out a an apocalypse situation
with zombies. His secondary plan that you
learned about in the teleportation room that you guys
used was to create an atom bomb, a magical atom bomb that he
would carry around with him and use when he could.
If I was there to kill me, him and destroy as much as possible.
At the moment you guys have been told by Sammy, Jay and others,
as well as some of the information that you found in
the teleportation room that he intends to use the International
Airport here in Columbus to ship out a number of these crates of
zombies that were created at the hot at the prison in order to
spark a simultaneous apocalypse around the world.
As of right now, you guys are either just leaving the prison
as you gear up or are currently driving on your way to the
airport in an attempt to stop this after you guys pow wowed
and voted on if it was worth just eating and leaving this
reality to its fate and journeying among the stars or
trying to stop what's going on and then do that.
You guys voted by a pretty wide margin to remain here and at
least try, while also in the back your minds trying to keep a
backup plan in case you needed to get out right away.
So currently, where would you guys like to be?
In the van on the way or in the prison gearing up just about to
leave? I can't remember exactly where
we left off. It's about an hour between here
and there. I think we left off in the car
or like we were getting in the car, I guess.
Anything anyone want to grab before we hit the road?
I mean, is there like a gift? Like we're in a prison, right?
I guess we're at the National Park.
Is there like a gift shop? We can go in and ride.
You guys remember that there was a building nearby that had a
corpse that was a gift shop. You also realize as a prison it
will probably have an Armory and other such things as you would
have seen as I myself when departing, going at a different
direction as to not 'cause Franklin to instantly nuke
everyone, equip myself with a several like stun guns and
whatever weaponry I find there, which would probably be a
sidearm, maybe like a belly club Taser I'm giving you guys credit
for. Noticing that, you went
somewhere and got armor. I mean, I went and did that.
Let's see. I guess you can roll a
perception or investigation to have noticed that while you guys
were geared or, you know, sitting around voting, I had
departed and stole a bunch of shit.
You want a perception for that? Man passives will work too.
Pretty low. Well.
Oh, oh. That was a good roll.
Keep that roll. Damn.
Passive Perception or Active Perception.
You do active if you're rolling, I mean if you got a 20.
I just I just I just tried to roll and I wasn't in the game
yet so it just popped up on the on D&D Beyond.
RIP. I mean, Olivia, you would
definitely see, you know, as you guys are voting on what you guys
want to do. I'm finger gunning my way
backwards into the Armory and you just see me like just
shoveling shit into a bag. Oh, I'm going to announce to
everybody like, hey, hey, weapons, maybe I'm going to look
around and I don't think we have much.
I mean, I know we have like super special powers now, but
weapons are still good. Yeah, in in that room you each
would probably be able to find, like I had said, Billy club,
which would be you know a club, a Taser and a a sidearm, which
is a little Josh, a hand crossbow plus one D1 dice per
for the damage, I believe, yeah. Let's see if there's anything
long range in that Armory. Sure, go ahead and roll me an
investigation. I'll take the Taser if nobody is
taking it. Nope. 15 Yeah, you'll be able to
find a long neck rifle there for sure.
It would be probably the stats of Let's see a heavy crossbow
with one additional hit or a dice of damage OK.
I'm gonna look at anything semi automatic.
Yes, I'm gonna look around for like a handgun.
There's probably no semi automatic weapons at a prison.
I don't know prisons that well, but are there?
You never know, I figured it was worth a shot.
Go ahead and give me an investigation.
I'll. We'll leave it a chance.
All of these are semi automatic, even the handgun.
Technically you just keep pulling the trigger.
Everything is. Yeah, yeah.
Exactly fully automatic is the would be the question which is
DM question which I think was answered earlier there or not
just because. The bridge should be too too
bad. Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to.
I'm trying to think. Of like what I would want to at
Yeah I'm trying to think of like what I would what I would be
looking for. I'm not really sure what I would
be looking for. Game question you.
Said. Long neck rifle will be
essentially a heavy crossbow plus one more dice.
So if if it's one D 10 + 4, you're saying 2 D 10 + 4.
Correct. OK.
Gotcha. All right, I want to pick that
up. Does it have a scope on it?
Yes. OK, I'm going to, I'm going to
grab whatever ammo I can find that works for it.
Relatively familiar with like the ammo type for that.
That leads directly to the question that I was going to
have. I'd fired a handgun earlier.
I have no idea how many rounds are left or and how much is in
the Armory that we can pick up with.
Us. I mean, I'm not going to nitpick
this too much. You guys will definitely be able
to pick up ammo here. I will say as we get into this
next fight, I don't think it's ever come up because normally
fights don't last that long. But if you shoot it six times
the handgun, you will have to reload, which is an action 6.
Is that an appropriate amount for a handgun?
No, no. What's an amount for a handgun?
9 to 13 if you have a if you have a 1911 which is my
preferred but. OK, so we'll do 10, so probably
won't be an issue. OK, so I top off my mag, grab a
second mag so I have 20. Yep.
I mean, you can shove a few in your pocket too.
So as you got, I mean, if you guys are in here, I'm going to
turn to you guys and be like, remember, if we're leaving this
reality, the more shit we take, the better.
And I'm like removing shelves and stuff.
I don't think steel exists over carbon steel.
Let's go stop it. You make a point.
Where are you shoving these shelves exactly?
Do you have one of those magical bags or somethings?
Really. I turned to you.
I mean, I could. We could throw it in the pocket.
Rocket. I don't have a magical bag.
Well, that's not true. I do.
Because I turned. I turned that little piece of
reality fabric that I had into a bag.
So you've just been throwing it into there?
OK, I'm just tossing it into space.
Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how that would work out for you.
Is it like a bag of holding where if you will it, it'll come
to you? I don't know.
I turned to the DM of the DM and space and time begins to warp.
Things zoom and stretch. You want.
The. Give me a doubt, Matt.
Matt yourself has a crafting skill yet, but it's always seems
like a good place to start for you.
So which we've based on whatever you're proficient in, whether
that be dexterity or. All right, let me switch over to
that person's sheet. My sheet.
That person, that's me. Just to see what what you're
working with there, because the dice are the real gods with
little insight into our universe.
And then for those who wanted a Taser, I put the rules into the
side. Oh yeah, I wanted a Taser.
I want a. Handgun.
Is there another one in there? Yeah, I was going to say.
Is there anything else for long range that I can grab?
Because I'm a Ranger, so I'm good at archery and shit.
Got it. Go ahead and give me an
investigation check as well. Or did you already?
That's why. Many boxes of hammer.
So you're looking around, unsure where you might find these long
guns, Justin. You are meanwhile standing a few
feet away at the long gun cabinet while it's open,
examining the one that you are currently holding in the open.
OK. Is there any more in this
cabinet than after I get that one out?
Hey, does anybody else want this other long neck scope?
Careful over there. I can't believe you didn't see
that. That's crazy.
Yeah, I know. I'm really bad at looking at for
things. Honestly, I miss things all the
time. I mean, the door's open, right?
He's got the door open and so it's like blocking them from
view. Exactly, yeah.
It wasn't like directly in my eyeline.
So like, I would have no clue this is an actual thing.
I'm perceptive. I'm not very good at looking for
things when I need them though. And one more question about
these scoped rifles I guess for both of us now are they single
shot like action or are they magazine fed like do I need to
take an action to reload it each time I shoot it?
Boy, I don't know anything about guns, Josh.
Is it more likely? Is it a military like style or
is it a hunting rifle? I've.
I. Mean it.
It would military, I would think it being a Max security prison,
yeah. OK.
And then probably magazine Fed. Yeah, which would probably lead
me to believe too. Then you wouldn't need an.
A bonus action is actually what I use for Johnny whenever he did
need to reload, just no longer do that.
But yeah, that's that's what I had, was the bonus action to
reload, basically because you just you're just popping a mag
out and putting a new one in usually.
Right, so. For pounds in a magazine?
Probably. I'm good with that all.
Right, I'm good. I just want to ask the
questions. When you did, I didn't want to
ask the questions once we got into battle.
I'd rather get out of the way now.
Yeah, no worries. Mark, somebody else chimed in
there. So.
This is what I added to my inventory.
Do you decide whether character is proficient with farm or
maybe? Yes, that doesn't matter, but
it's a pistol. That's what I'm using as my gun.
Got it. I mean, Olivia, have you ever
shot a pistol before? I have.
I think then you have your answer if you're proficient with
it. OK, cool.
Oh, that sucks. Maybe I should find a rifle,
then. I'm not good at pistols.
Do I see any more rifles in the cabinet?
Yes. All right.
Have at least one. Who wants a freaking rifle?
Yeah, I guess I'll, I guess I'll need one.
Yeah, I pull it out, toss it over to him.
All right, I'm gonna I'm like a Taser and a pistol, if they're
available. Wait.
Actually I want. Shotgun I.
Was thinking, yeah, I was thinking a shotgun, I think,
yeah, Taser and a shotgun. Would a prison have a shotgun?
Well. We're not in the South, so
probably not actually Georgia. Totally.
Yeah. I was going to say if I was back
home. Yeah, for sure.
It depends on what state or agency the correct the
correctional officer works for. Yeah, so I'm going to say
probably not, though Todd was super racist.
Maybe he has one in his. Truck maybe you going to try to
break into another vehicle? I'm not.
Josh So I rolled. AI rolled a 20 for that crafting
thing you wanted. Oh, not natural, I see, but it's
still nice. So well, you start to, you start
to to before at this instance I would guess is when you would
started messing with it before we'd gotten here.
But what everybody sees is this beautific bag that is basically
the the stereotypical drawstring bag that you would think of it,
but the the actual fabric itself almost looks like if you were
looking into a starry void of on the outside.
And when opened, there's just blackness that kind of pulls and
reshapes and squishes something right inside of it whenever it's
placed right up next to the opening.
There's this perfectly golden strap around the inlaid in the
top that seems to be actually sewn with light somehow through
the through the edges of this drawstring bag into that fabric
of reality. So yeah, you have a infinite bag
of holding. Shasha a dab.
Yeah, so I dumped stuff in there.
Turn to you guys, All right. Well, I don't think I'm going to
be able to make another one of those.
Well, I'm cocking the rifle, checking the round things, and I
look at the rest of the cabinet of Rifles.
How many more of these will fit in there?
I think all of them, Oh. Yeah, all of them.
How many are there? I think.
That's available. On this round, the entire room
into the bed. We continue stretching the bag
until we get the whole prison. Question though, Question,
Question, question. As I'm speaking to Matt right
now, do you have any idea what Franklin's like Atom bomb like
the size of it or anything about it like it's.
Actually, I think Jess would have known this, actually.
Wait, hold on, I forgot to say. The reality had shaken and
tearing, or shaken and twisted and bended.
It twisted and turned and stretched and then tore and Jess
went and. Got deleted.
I was there helping with that a little bit.
She was the one taking the notes off of what you were telling
her. But I I was.
I did roll. You were also present.
Yeah, I'd rolled something while she was doing that to an Arcana.
I want to say to understand what it was, but I don't think we
ever actually ended up describing what that.
No, we had not. So that I'll do that now.
So when you had made that check and kind of like poured over her
notes as she had spent the time and taken a second to copy from
memory and had done pretty well at relaying exactly what was on
the sheets. You get the understanding that
the base mechanism like the modern day this reality
mechanism bomb would be equivalent to something on like
a like the the like a modern nuclear weapon.
So take out at least a very large city.
However, with the other information that you're
gathering that you gathered from those sheets, many of which
included arcane rituals, you get the sense that this would be a
much larger category explosion. But it's modified to not
actually destroy anything, but to simply kill and then draw in
as kind of occurred when Jess touched it.
Everything in the room herself and her life essence had been
drawn towards the object itself. So you would you would kind of
understand that like destruction level would probably be on the
size of all of Columbus residual magical effect where it drains
everything around it considerably larger like a
Yellowstone like size eruption. Does from from the information
on these papers, do we gather the actual size of the device by
chance? Yeah, it would probably be,
gosh, the maybe like twice the size of like a bowling ball.
OK, so everybody, I turn to the party.
I'm like, guys, I might have an idea.
If we can get that fucking thing away from Franklin, why don't we
just put it in this big old magic bag, bag of holding and
then it's gone and we saved the day.
That work maybe? That idea.
Well. Good question.
It could, potentially. It would be.
We'd have to get Franklin away from the the bomb.
Can we call it? Step Step One.
Right. Can we call it the F bomb by the
way? Sure.
We call it the F bomb. I would be.
I would be willing to try to. Either that or what?
People put into a. Pocket rocket.
But then it might destroy that realm.
I don't want to. Well, sure, but like what's
worth, like, destroying what essentially is reality when I
point at the bag or a house? Which I think would be.
Whatever you guys want, it's. A really nice house it.
Is a nice house. We also have don't we have Todd
inside the pocket rocket tied up waiting for Franklin.
That was our we are like a distraction plan, right?
Yep, Yep. Yeah.
That was that was the plan. Oh, why was Franklin gonna go
after Todd again? Because he was gonna be like
disguised as Matt. Yeah, I think.
What stops Franklin from leaving?
Oh. That's right.
That's right, disguised.
I do that. Presumably he'd be met and
explode himself in the pocket rocket.
At least that's what you were telling us.
But if he leaves the. Bomb.
That's the question. If he leaves the bomb behind,
then we can probably do something with the bomb.
So if if Franklin goes into the pocket, rocket to kill me.
So if Todd's tied up, would Franklin then immediately
detonate? Or would he spend the time to
torture? I bet torture.
Why? Would he bring you know him
Well, this guy's just. Me, right?
Yes. Yeah.
So. Based on his back.
Story. Yeah, I think Bree's right.
I mean, so his back story, if we're being frank.
Yeah, we are. We are being.
Ha. Ha.
Ha, that's accurate, if he's being frank Anyway.
So he spent several 100,000 years as a demon in hell,
torturing his father. Jesus Christ.
So. I wonder.
I hate you. Yeah.
I kind of look away. But.
Again, leave a book. Nobody, nobody, nobody knew any
of this was real, right When I made Franklin, so I made
Franklin because I played good Franklin in a different campaign
in hell, and in that campaign Evil Franklin respond.
So I played evil Franklin and I gave him an evil back story and
well, now we're here. Started from the bottom, now
we're here. So, like, you know, if I could
take it back, I probably would, but well, actually no, because
then we would never have gotten these powers.
So, you know, silver lining, right?
Yeah. You just hear, yeah, rumbles and
crickets. All right, that's what you wanna
call it. I mean, I'm down for the
adventure. Whatever.
Helps you sleep at night. Mostly ambient, but right now
there's Sleep spell all. Right.
So how are we gonna get Franklin go into the pocket, Rocket?
I'm gonna leave him a note that says, hey, Matt's in here.
Please don't blow that shit up out here.
Well, whoa. I had thought of this a little
bit since we last we spoke on it as I'm finished loading and
putting in the couple extra rounds into my pockets that I
could fit, and of the of the pants pockets that I stole from
my pants, threw up shitting myself.
But I would say that, yeah, I I, I think he has all of the
experiences that Matt has had. So your rhythmic veracity, I
know you're not so familiar with it, Justin.
But when that occurs, you get all of your memories and such
exchange with the character and it feels like a dream
afterwards, but also just kind of like a, if you will, a past
life. So you have, you have an
understanding deeply with your every character that you're
connected with. And for that reason I think that
he would be willing to talk to me at least to know that I don't
have it out for him. And you know, I give him me.
I've given him means to control his fate, IE the root of all
evil. Maybe he is amenable to trying
to solve this with less destruction.
Basically, I'm going to try and talk to him.
And if he says that, he wants me as part of this deal.
Then we're going to say you were in the pocket rocket.
You just got to go in the pocket, Rocket.
But correct me if I'm wrong, but just just left the pocket rocket
after entering it, right? What stops him from doing the
same? Oh, you mean besides the
torturing of Todd? Right.
So you would either stay there torturing Todd, but when he's
done? Oh, no, I wouldn't go in the
pocket Rocket with him. I, I, I he's gonna go in the
pocket, Rocket. Right.
But if he has, he uses it right now.
That's the it's their item right in the game.
So he has one of those symbols, so he can enter and leave at
will, correct? Yeah.
So how do you keep him in there? Well the only other option that
I could see here is trying to take the charm off of him if if
we were to go that route. But I don't think we need to
even go that route so far my my first thought is actually to
hear. So get him in the pocket racket.
He sees the Matt and and begins to torture said Matt or kill
himself immediately, which would be the preferable option here
because it solves a lot of problems very quickly, very
easily. If that does not happen he comes
back out and whether or not he believes that was mad or not
will be another tricky situation to deal with at the time.
But if he does believe it, then I would say have the problem
solved for the most part, because it would just be an ask
of Franklin. Like, hey, buddy.
Yeah. So we're gonna do this on an
exchange rate basis. I've got Matt in there for you.
You can go in there. And I won't kill him
immediately. I have something rigged up to
make it look like I'll just blow him up.
It might be fake. He might believe it.
He might not. And you know, because that
sounds like he has a lot of bent revenge ideas in his mind for
this particular planet, specifically Bent placed on
Matt. So he's got a lot, he's got a
lot riding on this. So I've caught, I've caught the
the fly, what is the the that expression the the apple of his
eye and put it in inside of this thing for him so.
Gotcha. And this dispel or this I or a
disguised person, does that persist after death?
If this guy dies after you know all of this will, will he just
turn back into himself? No, because.
It's made. To whoever it's based on whoever
cast the spells, as long as they it's an hour long and I think it
just stays that way. It's not concentration or
anything like that. So it just kind of stays that
way for an hour, but you can kind of drop it whenever.
Right, but after an hour. After an hour, it'll go back.
So here's the other option that I thought of.
Oh, banish him. Hold it for a minute.
No, Aren't. If you banish someone.
If you banish someone, they return to their own realm, and
if you maintain the concentration for a minute, they
remain there. Now that returns him back to the
world of V&D and it you know it doesn't solve the problem, but
it certainly removes him from here.
True. But.
I like this idea. But that doesn't fix.
The zombie apocalypse. No, no.
We'd have to fix that somehow. But right now I was just talking
about Franklin. Like how do you deal with?
That that take it would take care of it would take care of we
decide because it would take care of Franklin in this world
which is this multiple. I got it now.
A. Step in the right direction, but
that way. I.
I was trying to divide before I multiplied or something here.
So if we take Todd right and we take Todd with us, have him
disguised as Matt, you know, beat up, looking a little
bedraggled maybe outside of the pocket rocket I'm holding on to,
said Todd. Matt and I have very visible the
poop emoji ring that we made here and promise that if
Franklin stops all the things that he's doing that I will give
him this bat inside the pocket rocket, you know will him in
because he's currently will look and feel unconscious and he'll
be in my possession, in our possession.
Right, so that'll get Franklin into the pocket Rocket.
But then in an hour, it's still Kaplui, right?
No, no, no. He's got to do all the things.
He's going to dis get dis. Escalate this DE, escalate the
situation before we give him the mat.
That's one of the bombs. That's the deal.
It's a risk. You mean he needs to turn the
bomb off? Give us.
The bomb. Stop the zombies, and then he
gets the mat inside of the pocket rocket.
And for an hour it will feel like he's actually torturing
Matt. So maybe he, you know, will
forgive us. Turn to the others.
It's a big risk, but it could work.
But if it doesn't, sorry. Go ahead.
No. No, no, sorry.
No, I was just saying if it doesn't, what what?
What's? What's the alternative?
So if we get him to turn off the bomb, all right, then he goes
and then tortures Matt. Bomb's taken care of, or we're
in control of the bomb at that point.
If he comes back out, we just kill him to be honest.
Yeah, that's where I am at on it too.
As long as we can get him to de escalate or we banish them.
I don't have banish. I don't think maybe I have the
possibility to do it. I do.
OK, a. Banishment.
So what I think is true though, so the the banish plan is I
think the most surefire way of doing this.
I think I turn to Josh. Your method is good idea if you
can convince him. The only thing that I disagree
with in your particular case is that he's still going to be
coming after us. Just like Justin said, we're
we're looking over our shoulder constantly.
I guess the big thing is you. We would you would want to
remove the book from him. That's the biggest thing.
If you could take his book, then banish him, then he's just a
turtle. Pokedex.
No. Yeah, the Pokedex.
I've already you've already. You've missed the you've missed
a crucial step in what I just described.
If he if he chooses to not destroy the world, that is now a
good action, right? That's it.
It appears. But wouldn't he be doing it for
selfish reasons? It doesn't matter his reasoning
in the case of the action and how it's judged.
Yeah, and like the big, big picture.
Versus. And even if he did come out, you
could be like, oh, thank you for helping us, and immediately he
will perceive himself as good and having done a good action.
It could work and. If it doesn't, shoot him in the
head. I I I point it, Justin.
I like his plan. That is definitely the
definitely route. I mean, but isn't isn't Franklin
Undead not shooting him in the head?
Not no. Franklin's not undead.
He's just a turtle, right? I look uncomfortable.
I. Don't.
Know. The mask showed some weird
things, remember? He's well, all right.
Let me see. Like it?
Was it? Was a wasn't it just?
Hold on, I'm going. To look at his character sheet
in game, wasn't it? Because I think it was just.
Zeph, who was undead? Yeah, Zeph is was the undead and
he was using her goo. But he had.
To make other things undead. I'm pretty sure the Pokedex has
a side effect that turns him undead.
Eventually, but eventually not. He's not undead right now.
Or yeah. When he activates the Pokedex,
which I'm assuming he did. Oh yeah, yeah.
Oh, I see he's been. He's been turning undead for a
little while now. Ah.
But I. Don't think that's good now.
To stop us from being able to kill him, necessarily, but
right. Makes it more difficult, but
yes, exactly turn to you. You're a cleric, right?
You've got a level of cleric. Just I I dabble, yeah.
Do you have any ability against undead 'cause that's going to be
#1 key. I can probably pull something up
out of the recesses of my mind. So we got Franklin and then the
undead that we have to stop from the the horde, the the, the, the
apocalypse that he's trying to do.
This is going to be tough. All right, who's driving?
01 more thing backup plan if you can't convince him.
To. Turn off the bomb through
negotiation, if you will. Do we have any way to like,
control his actions and make him do it?
Like dominate? I don't know if.
Oh yeah, dominate our like friends.
Anything like. That I don't, I don't have
anything. Any other spellcasters have
anything like that? Going back to my knowing spells
here. Yeah, I I.
Currently do not have anything like that.
Let me look and. See what I have?
Negative. I do not have dominate.
Is there? Another cow.
Dominate, Daddy. Let's see.
I've got. Is there like ice knife?
Old person, that'll work. Stab him in the heart.
Breathe. Like.
On it there another spell that like.
Yeah. Command Charm person.
I'm not seeing charm in my list. Mass suggestion.
I have. Catapult.
That'll work. Wait, here's another option.
Wait here. Wait, wait, wait.
Option three. We Pandora box the situation.
We put Franklin in the pocket. Rocket been.
The last week. And then we put the pocket
rocket into the infinite bag of holding.
So if he leaves the pocket rocket, he suffocates.
He'll lose the pocket. Rocket.
Yeah. Then we lose the pocket Rocket.
True, but we could always. And if he's undead, I don't
think it matters. That's true.
He'll just be sitting there waiting.
Devising a plan? Do I have I?
Feel like there's something that's like turn, turn.
Under that's a cleric thing. There's.
Somewhere you can turn? That's a cleric thing.
Yeah. It's Cleric.
Look at Josh. It's a Channel Divinity, Josh.
Yeah, so Josh might have something like that.
Yeah, I I only dabble. Unfortunately I have.
Obviously I think it's a level two thing I have, so he only has
one level. I I have command which I could
potentially use, but that's one word one word command that.
I. Disable.
Potentially give. So it's not going.
It would disable potentially. Potentially.
Yeah, but it's one word, so it's gotta.
Because he might choose the word.
It's one word, yeah, because he might, like, find a way around
it. Yeah, I would.
I would. I would.
I've got some healing stuff too. If he's undead already, then
maybe I can hurt him with some of that stuff.
But. Wait, I never thought about
that. That's actually a really cool
concept. I should start home brewing that
in my stuff. Yeah, I I generally allow that.
That's really cool. I never thought of that.
I'm going to use that from now on.
Yeah, it's or Poison Vials is health potions for zombies.
Exactly. Wow.
I literally never put that connection together.
Holy shit. Play one.
Play a cleric with a party of zombies.
This is the. Worst be a Life Domain cleric
and just, you know, heal. Everyone that actually on
divinity for the fact that you have, you have the the skeletal
class which they have to drink drink poison.
And I was like, Oh yeah, I'll just be a cleric because it's
what I usually AM to help people.
And everybody chose the skeletal race, which cannot be healed by
fucking clerics. So I just went.
Back I. Mean the best part about that
one for divinity is you can you if you play a poison caster.
Oh yeah. When you yeah, all that AOE
actually heals your allies. Yep.
Anyway, back to the game. Legally distinct.
Because we. Talked about actual divinity in
the game, but the legally distinct version.
Who's driving? Not me.
I'll drive and I can drive again.
Fine, I'll let you drive. I'm.
Going to take off I should join you right at the end because I
don't want to, you know. I pulled up the pen and click it
that you gave me. Does it teleport you next to me?
Yep. OK, just just test.
Just testing it. I hear you inside check.
Do you plan on selling me out? Oh, you're inciting checking me?
Yep. 10. You're pretty sure I'm not.
Pretty sure. Pretty sure.
I missed that. Pretty.
Sure. Pretty sure you're you're not
getting sold out. Nod.
OK. All right.
So all right. Who's driving again?
Bree, I think. Or was it Barrett?
And how far is it away? Nope.
That's me. How far is the airport right
from here? What, like an hour?
All right. So we're pretty driving.
We'll be there in 40 minutes. Got it.
Exactly. Zoom.
Zoom, motherfucker. Let's go.
I feel that. I didn't say that.
I didn't stop beating it. I need to.
Onward now or. So.
Re Roll My Ocean rolls from earlier to see if they getting
OH We teleported somewhere OH. Gosh.
Like a good old God or a battle. I'm not sure that I'd seen
things that I wasn't supposed to see, I think.
Yeah, yeah, right. So we've all been there.
That's like me all the time on the Internet, just looking at
things I should not be looking at.
That is the Internet I mean especially.
I mean people, well, people will tell me like, oh, you don't want
to go see that? And I'm like, well, now I do.
I've got one for you, then you're old enough to not know
the reference probably. Why?
The recording. Sure.
Oh God. If people go to Lemon Party,
it's their it's their life choices.
Oh, I know what that is. OK, good.
Anyway, I. Do not.
Don't knock on my age. I know I'm young, but still.
Hey, I don't know. I don't know what you were into
when you were younger. Fucking weird shit.
Apparently. Like I said, I'm a curiosity.
Kills the cat person even when I was like 7.
Yeah, I feel that I can relate. Yeah, how else would I have
watched Happy Tree Friends when I was way too young?
Oh man. Everyone else is like teenagers
and I'm like 5 and I'm like, oh wow.
That's a lot focusing up. You guys pack into the van,
Brianna, I think was driving and you guys began tearing your way
northward at a frantic pace, GPS says.
The whole way. GPS says 40 minutes, about half
hour, about 1/2 hour. In your drive, you begin
noticing something to the left of your car as you head north up
the highway. There seems to be what appears
to be a large, like a cylindrical storm cloud
appearing in the downtown Columbus region.
Not at the airport, but a separate space downtown and wild
winds begin surging as you guys make your way north.
On the on the radio as you guys are heading north you get one of
those emergency broadcasts as the winds howl and kind of rack
your van back and forth it goes I don't remember emergency
broadcast freak cyclone freak hurricane cyclone appearing in
downtown Columbus above the river.
All residents advised to remain indoors and lock your or close
windows, doors and remain shelters in sheltered in place
until further notice and this repeats over and over I.
Turn the radio off. You turn the radio off and then
highway to Hell begins playing. As you guys pull closer to the
airport itself, you see a flurry of activity of along one side,
the side specified actually for a militant for the United States
like Department of Defense. As as you guys approach, you see
the scene in front of you there is a large number of crates,
each of them probably like 4 foot by 5 foot in size, all
being loaded on to a aircraft here.
It's not this commercial plane, it's an actual carrier type
thing because this is the stationed base for United States
Air Force in Columbus, so I'm going to say they have one.
The plane itself is crawling with what appear to be large
dark insectoid forms, checking the plane, going over it,
loading the boxes. You guys will be able to
approach at somewhat of a surprise.
Let me know what you want to do. We should drive up to that
plane, no? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
don't do that. We should park like over here.
So we're not like. Big grabbing characters.
On the far side of the building maybe and then kind of like get
closer outside the vehicle kind of see what's up.
Yeah, I'm going to like drive my car, but I'm going to slow down
and then like try to like keep the car out of like view and
like park it somewhere like discreet, sure.
And then we can like delve and approach 1 foot.
You guys would do that and I open the back.
I'm getting out here. Where are you getting out, Josh?
OK. So presumably you guys go around
the backside of the building and I get out the front side as
you're pulling around the back. So I just walk to the middle of
the tarmac and right in the center start walking straight up
to the plane with Todd in tow. Is did.
We did. We did.
We disguise. Todd.
Yeah. Do you?
Did you want me to disguise him while we were in the car?
Yes, please, before I jump. OK, Yep, I do that.
Yeah, Josh jumps out and then starts running after the car.
Wait, wait, comes back. I didn't mean to jump out of the
car yet. And this time you jump back into
the pocket, rocket grab, Todd pulled him out, and then Josh
eats himself out of the car. I'm going to say Todd is still
in there. You turn around, see him knowing
that you need to turn him into me, and then you turn him into
me and just kind of like softly kick him out the side, the van,
and he kind of lands on the ground and rolls limply.
Right. Oh, that's all I said.
So did we park the car after he did his, like, superhero roll
out of it? Yeah, so you Josh, you get
landed, you get dropped off kind of like at the end of this
building as they turn a 90° around to go park around the
back. So as Josh is moving forward,
confidently dragging the body of Todd disguised as me, the rest
of you park around the back and what do you guys want to do?
The first thing I'd like to do is see if there's any, like way
I can get to the roof of this building.
Like escape, like a ladder or anything like that.
Go. Ahead and give me an
investigation, check or Perception.
OK, Perception 17. 17 absolutely.
There's definitely a maintenance one of those, like hoop
maintenance ladders, they go directly up to the top, OK.
I'm going to climb up the ladder, get on the roof and kind
of like creep across the roof to this corner over here.
So as you get to the top and you stealthily make your way up, you
see in the same corner that you're headed to one of these
insectoid creatures holding a sniper rifle.
Like looking down. Just doing exactly what you want
to do, OK? I'm going to go stealth then.
Go ahead and roll me Stealth and then 23.
Yeah, absolutely silent. Let me go ahead and roll just to
see 14 plus week. Nope.
Yeah. Silently.
You poke your head up. You see that individual and you
very quietly sneak up to the top and kind of like half Crouch,
half crawl delving your way across the top.
What are the others doing that we're team backdoor?
That official name, Is that our official name?
Up to you. I'm going to try to like find
like a window or something to kind of watch what's happening.
Sure. Are you trying to look into the
into the air, like the hangar itself, or are you trying to
look into the plane? What do you what?
What window are you trying to peer through?
'Cause this isn't like the air, like isn't like the airport.
It's like a hanger, I guess. It's the hanger at the airport.
It's like off of the main terminal, off to the side, one
of those places, like as you're taking off, you see all the like
hangers off to the side. Yeah, good question, I guess.
Yeah, right. I stay in the car.
I guess I'm going to try to find like maybe like over here
somewhere, like a box to hide behind and like watch, but like
kind of like a similar thing because I want to be like
Sniper. I don't know.
Yeah, I'm just trying to be like.
Kind. Of I think like here ish like
somewhere where I can get like a good vantage point but like stay
hidden. But like if I if things go down,
I can like run in if I need to. Got it.
Yeah, go ahead, both of you that are planning on doing that.
Give me a stealth check as you move cautiously forward, trying
to get a better idea of a situation you're walking into
before walking into it. Yeah, let's hope I don't fuck it
up. Not.
Terrible. 17 Nice. Oh, that almost was bad 20. 2
almost as. Bad it was.
Almost one of those like, half tips.
Yeah, it was almost A2, not an 18.
So taking advantage of the wind that's kind of whipping around
from, as I had said, the cyclone appearing in the center of the
city, you guys are able to very sneakily move up to these boxes
and appear over them to take a look at the situation that's
unfolding in front of you. Go ahead and give me a
perception check, the both of you, and then I'll go to Justin
to see what he's doing with the guy up top before we jump back
to Josh for him boldly striding forward with me.
What about Olivia? And Olivia, what are you doing?
I'm so sorry. I'm kind of, I'm not really sure
what to do. I'm kind of hanging out by the
van still. You see, watching from your
vantage point, you see Justin having crawled up to the top,
pausing, looking, and then very quietly stealthing over the edge
before you lose sight. And you see both of your other
allies creep forward to just behind some of these large
crates that you've seen brought in and being loaded onto the
plane. So let's see, Justin, what
exactly are you going to do to approach this target?
If Olivia is just chilling, all? Right.
So I'm stealth right now. Is it daytime or is it night
time Like, I mean, obviously picture shows day, but like,
what's our, what's our setting right now?
Let's see. So you guys would have been
picked up in the morning, had your briefing with them, you
probably would have gotten to the prison around one or two.
You spent probably about an hour, hour and a half there.
So it's about 3:30, probably about 435 o'clock.
However, the patterning and the wind, or like the the current
weathering patterns, it's very dark outside.
So I would say everything's a little bit kind of not obscured,
but it is not, you know, bright ass daylight.
OK, and I like to see if I can, if I can tell if this like bug
guy, is he like propped up like ready to shoot like finger on
the trigger with his sniper rifle?
Is he kind of like relaxed? Just kind of keeping an eye out?
Right now, right now, he looks to be relaxed.
He doesn't see well actually, with Josh running or walking
boldly down. Let me go ahead and roll at
advantage because he is being watchful.
That's not too bad. Josh isn't hiding himself so he
has a + 3. So 12 will easily identify Josh.
So he is actively scope on, finger on trigger, watching Josh
approaching. OK, So what I want to do, I want
to sneak up behind him very quietly and attempt to like, I
want to like as soon as I get really close.
So I want to like reach over, try to like put my foot on that
arm that's on like the trigger and kind of rip it like, you
know, keep him from pulling the trigger, grab back of his head
and like take my, my, my short sword and I just kind of like
chop his head off or cut his throat, whatever.
Hell yeah. This will be a surprise.
This will be a surprise round. So go ahead and roll.
Let's see. Give me a attack roll at
advantage and then we'll do a OR and a contested strength check.
OK. For you stepping on the arm and
kind of like would? This mean they're.
Trying to dismantle would. This mean they're just sneak
attacks and some like stealth. It would, Yeah, absolutely.
OK. You're rolling with advantage.
Gotcha. All right.
So 1st, 1/15/16. Yeah, that's absolutely going to
hit and then go ahead and roll your strength check.
He has a -3, so A6. 21. To 21.
So you very quietly sneak up behind this individual, and this
is a creature. It's weird because it's an
insectoid. It looks like a bug, but it's
shaped like a person, but it's kind of small.
You've never seen anything quite like it.
It's wearing tactical gear and carrying a sniper as you kind of
like cock your head, sneak up behind it.
And as I, as you said, go ahead and tell me exactly what you do
and then go ahead and rule your damage.
So yeah I mean I just first thing I do is I I kind of get as
close as I can. I stand up take my I guess most
people are right-handed bugs I don't know.
But I I take my right foot and essentially stomp it like onto
his wrist ripping him out of like the the grip and the and
the and the trigger kind of pinning it to the to the roof.
And then I want to take the grab like came by the the antennae
eye or whatever. I can pull his head back and
like just kind of like put the sword through the back you.
Absolutely hit. So go ahead and roll your rip
into that. I'm sorry.
Go ahead and roll your damage this.
This is considered damage 16. The hit and then piercing is 6
and sneak attack is an additional 11.
Is that what that means in the? Yeah.
So it's a 17 damage. Oh, that's perfect.
Sorry, I didn't even see. That's OK. 17 damage, Yeah.
With that you were able to immediately you creep up, slam
down your foot onto his hand. You hear like a bones cracking
under it or that, not bones, the caraface cracking.
And you pull back his head with it by his antenna, and you take
your short sword very swiftly, cut his throat.
It's all very quiet. And he died.
OK. You hold him as he kind of like
shudders and. I want to.
Dies in your hand. I want to make sure that that
sniper doesn't like fall off the roof.
I don't know if it's stationary or starting to go anywhere, but
I want to make sure everything stays in quiet.
You'll be able to do that. OK, cool.
And then I'll essentially take a position where he was with my my
own long neck scoped rifle. Perfect.
An eye out I saw as I'm doing, as I saw like the Bree move up
and that's when I decided to take action, make sure they
weren't seen. Keep an eye on Josh as he's
walking up proudly to the plane. Excellent.
So as you sit there and you look through your scope down at the
site of the plane, you spot the other two.
You kind of glance over the plane itself and around, and
something kind of sticks out to you.
It doesn't appear that any of the individuals here are
anything other than the bugs that you're currently killing
that you currently killed. You have an idea of what
Franklin probably looks like. You don't immediately see him
out in the open here. OK, I have no way to communicate
with anybody else right now either.
Phone Are the cell towers still up or what?
The cell towers. That's true.
You have a phone all. Right, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll,
I'll want. To text I'm going to text Josh.
Be like I don't see Franklin. Exclamation point, exclamation
point, sad face. Josh Is your phone currently on
vibrate or silent or? It's regularly on vibrate and
then I think in this particular situation too, I would have it
on on that. Go ahead and give me a
Perception check at disadvantage to notice that as adrenaline is
pumping through you as you walk towards this dangerous
situation, if you notice that you're being texted.
Very fair. And is this a group text to
everybody or just Josh? Well, in reality.
And do you have everyone's numbers?
I do not have it. All I have is Josh Embrace.
I think we would have exchanged it in the van.
We had 45 minutes. That's fair.
Fair. OK, yeah, it's a, it's a, it's
it's a group text. 13. 13 Yeah, you'll know.
You'll you notice that somebody texted you.
It is your choice whether you want to pause on your
magnificent approach or not. Is anyone stopping me as I'm
approaching? No.
Everybody seems very intently trying to load up this airplane.
Well then I get up as far as I possibly can.
Up to the up to the plane itself.
Maybe start looking around like no one's noticed me yet.
Gee mini Christmas. Their security sucks and just
look, look down, look down at my phone.
I pull it back out and go, OK, maybe just not around here.
Start yelling Franklin. Shouting out like that will gain
the attention of the creatures that are kind of littered over
this plane as they all kind of turn and look at you.
Some of them begin kind of approaching as many of the
others begin to more frantically load the plane up as you now
hear and see. Figure inside, still kind of the
same shape as these creatures. Start the plane as you begin
hearing a revving of engines. Need everyone to roll
initiative. You want to put up that
initiative tracker first? Oh.
Yeah. Yeah, on your token.
Are you fucking Kimmy 11 with a +90?
My God oh sucks. Natural 20.
Oh yeah. Also, outside of this game, it's
feeling like this is like the the the movie of Bug's life with
the grasshoppers Like army dudes, Yeah?
Yeah, fucking hated the grasshoppers.
They were all. Basically.
Wait, did they kill Franklin? Maybe The dire crickets have now
become the real killed. Franklin took all this shit and.
Yeah, you totally think that's what's going on.
So they have a + 3. Let me add
209. I need to do descending.
Yeah, OK, so Josh, it'll be your turn first.
As you see, when you shout out the name Franklin, many of the
Insectoids begin heading in your direction specifically, and you
hear a loud kind of buzzing sound coming from the plane and
some of these boxes begin to somewhat rattle.
I will say, let's see, I'm going to roll.
With your knowledge of tinkering, you expect that this
plane might be able to escape relatively soon.
So this their gangway is not there.
We'll say it is, sure, they said like the plane itself is like a
carrier, but like you're able to like enter up that way is.
Well, I'm looking to over those boxes just to get my bearings
and you said those started to rattle.
Is there like a back part of the plane that's open that they're
currently? Loading them in, yeah.
So like in like with an aircraft carrier that the rear of the
plane opens up and you can load stuff into it.
So you're you guys are seeing them load things into the rear
here. But there is also, you know, the
captain's entry ladder. I would very much think that
Franklin would not be in the back.
If he is at all in a bargaining position and I'm too far
invested to not take the risk dragging the Todd.
I would, I'd probably say my movement would be about.
It's have to to drag. Someone.
Yeah. So I'm like it right in here is
where I can move and I'm still just kind of screaming my head
off as I get just under the nose of the plane.
It's not moving, I'm presuming yet it's just warming up.
Yep. OK, Yep, that's that's my turn.
I would hold an action to, you know, unarmed strike.
Slash. Yeah, it'd just be an unarmed
strike. Because I don't think I can
hold. Yeah, I don't.
I can't hold the like key point either will do like a.
So yeah, you can only reaction hold an action.
Yep, Yep. All right, so you call out once
again, hoping to to catch Franklin's attention.
If he is here, as now the enemy's turn.
You see a number of these creatures, Justin.
You see this too. A number of them over here
specifically are now actively moving towards Josh's position,
and they'll use their action to Dash.
Right. What's the movement?
Speed. 40 feet. Perfect.
Those guys on top are inside the plane.
Those guys are on top. Got it.
This one will skitter down the side and land on the ground next
to you, Josh. And he very clearly holds up a a
device to kind of like like his weapon to fend you off as he as
he as he basically points it at you menacingly trying to get you
to move away from the plane. Oh, hey, Amos, right?
Do you speak insect or abyssal? No, I do not.
Well, wait, yeah, which one would be?
Infernal. Not a Bissell.
Hold on. What does Franklin's?
Infernal is probably what you're thinking of at some point.
I would say Deepspeech is also one that is.
I think it's. Primordial is to actually speak
with the Wait. Hold on.
Sorry, I have a stat block right here.
What do they speak? Languages understands Abyssal,
but can't speak. Oh, ain't no wrong one languages
Abyssal. Yeah.
OK, they come from the abyss, right?
Well, I wouldn't know that, but they're gesturing at me.
Is he within striking distinct and acting threateningly?
Yeah, he he raised his weapon and he's trying to get you to
back up. Oh, so he's like, he's he's got
his both hands. He's like a a rifle of some sort
or what is it he's? Like all of these creatures are
insectoid in nature, humanoid in shape, about 3 feet tall, and
they all seem to be wearing tactical beer.
And and he's trying to like push me back basically from the spot.
And I say very slowly and calmly with my hands up, before I do
anything and say Franklin, really slow looking at him in
the eyes, and he. Narrows his eyes at you, and
then he gestures with his gun at the sky towards the cyclone
downtown. Ah shit, we're in the wrong
place. Where are you?
Wait, what are those? I point over to the boxes and I
run away. He will allow you to run away
'cause he's attempting to get you to move, so he's not gonna
attack you. Right.
Well, yeah, I'm definitely going to.
I can't now. It's not my turn.
So, but that would be what I'd be doing.
Go. All right.
Then. Not attacking.
That will be the end of their turn, so it will shift now to
Olivia at the van. You're chilling.
Cool. How's your way?
Am I I? Am but I it's.
Texting free actions I want to know.
I will treat it as yeah, 'cause I I always let Someone Like You
talk once as your free action. OK, I just wanted to to confirm
before I was saying to. So you could text, but you can't
like pick up a weapon and text. Right, right.
I would definitely be using that free hand that I've been holding
to instead inform everyone that, yeah, we're in the wrong place.
Franklin is not here. You guys all get this text
message depending on your current settings I.
Franklin I share what? Does the text message say?
Bugs seem to be loading potentially zombies into plane.
Sure, we. Should.
Stop on. I should send.
I sent back a sad face. I text back.
We should stop them. But if we, if we.
I'm going to text back. Fuck them up.
Franklin Then we stop them, right?
I don't know where they're taking the zombies.
Perhaps he can get a hold of the zombies while they're still in
transit or? So.
Even. I don't know.
So you remember having gotten information, that part of?
His plan? Was you spread zombies to other
local like other places around the world to create a
simultaneous zombie apocalypse? I.
Mean. Maybe.
If we lose, like, I don't know, like half the United States will
be still, we'll be still. Fine.
That's 3/4 of the rest of the world, right?
What's the least I? Think we should disable the
plane? I'd.
The. Fail safe, OK?
Things with Franklin don't go. Well, I see this conversation on
the text. At least zombies can't take off.
Disable the plane. Kill everything.
How about I retreat 1st and then disable the plane and we jump in
the van and run away? It's a plan.
But if they don't have the plane, we're already defeating
that, right? And it's a localized problem
versus global. And we still got to get this
asshole. And I point to Todd, who's
presumably still asleep to Franklin.
Yeah. His face is real puffy.
He hit his head on the way or when he fell out of the van.
All right, so whose turn? Olivia can heal that.
Olivia. It's mine.
I really want to shoot some magic missiles at these crates.
So what is I can? Move further.
How far can I go? I guess I should.
Just I know the scale's weird, but let's get over it.
Don't forget Dash action. Yeah, I also have this thing
which I don't know if by Caddis now.
Bonus action a Dash. Dash let me.
Do so you get the rogue ability to dash as a bonus action.
This is your whole action, so you could dash bonus, assuming
you cast this as you guys were driving up, Well, like the
dispel magic and all that, or the disguise itself and stuff
went off. You could move bonus action,
dash, move action, attack. I'm going
to move pro Strat it is. Oh, cool, cool.
OK. I'm going to.
Cast this I'm. Going to.
Move the amount that I can move right now just here I have an
action. I don't have an action, I.
Cast that, but then I'm going to.
So yeah, if you're casting this now, you could bonus action,
cast that and then action Dash, but then you'd be out of
resources. Yeah, and then that's my turn.
All I can do is move. That's fine.
I have faith that I will have another Brianna and.
Then I'll be with him, you hear? Sorry, we're missing.
Somebody in turn order. Brianna, Justin.
Josh, Olivia. We do, Yeah.
We're missing someone. Bear it.
I got a 14.
Oh, OK. Hold on, I'll add you.
I cried. That's your action, you cry.
That that could work. Honestly, I would do that.
That's on brand. Imagine if it was like Mars
attacks where the start playing the music and the alien says
explode, she starts crying and just bugs start exploding
everywhere. Yeah.
No, that's on brand. Parrot was 14.
Had to be down for it. Descending.
Oh, Josh. Olivia Barrett, your turn now,
Then the. Timing on that carriage.
Nobody has yet so far, but you're getting a furious text
string, one from Justin saying light it up, Josh saying wait
till I'm away. Oh God.
No. Wait.
The. Friends are fighting.
Wait. You tell me what you do.
A free action to send a text. That's.
What? She said.
But then I wouldn't get a response until their until their
turn. No, no.
Like he was saying, it's free action.
We. We.
Can It's like shouting back and forth to each other.
You get to say one thing to one person that.
Just. Literally says wait shoot
question mark. No, no, no, no, no, no just.
Like a stream? Of them.
I will hold my action to shoot perfect until someone else does
it first. What are you holding your action
to shoot at? One of the one of the dudes that
are out and about by the near Josh.
Got it. OK.
One of the dudes. One of the dudes.
Just a guy. A dude just sticking.
Just a little guy. Brianna, it'll be your turn
then. Is this Josh?
Yep. Yeah, that's Josh.
That is me, OK? I believe it doesn't have names.
It's so stupid. I know.
I know this. Well, yeah, yeah, that's how.
For whatever reason, it doesn't let you see other characters
names, but it lets you see your own.
But as Adm, it's useful because as the DM, you can see
everybody's name, right. OK, let's see.
Let's check a couple things. Here real quick like.
Why? There's probably a good chance
it's going to take till next week for the finale.
Woo. Hoo.
Sorry. More and more never.
Ending. All right, so.
There, and we play that game. I'm going to use my action to
move up to here. Nope, I lied too close.
Gonna move back there. OK, And then and then I'm going
to hold chromatic orb until Josh moves.
And then once he moves, I'm going to fire a chromatic orb at
the engines. Perfect.
All right. You're holding yours as well,
Justin. So I'm like laid down like, you
know, kind of on my scope. I am going to attempt to shoot
out the front 2 tires on this plane.
Sounds. Good, you have two tacks or are
you going for a 2 for one? Well, they should be right next
to each other right? And from my angle being on like
the one side of the plane, it's they're rubber true?
A bullet should go through both right?
If it if it hits I guess. Wait, it It's only been one day
though, right? Son of A.
Bitch. OK.
It's only been a day since. What, like we haven't, we
haven't rested a good day now. Yeah.
You guys have been going hard. Fuck me, all right?
I've. Been here for two weeks.
Justin, go ahead and make me an attack rule.
Your ability to hit both in a row will depend on how high you
get. I'll say probably to get both,
you're going to need at least ADC 18.
To get one, I'm going to say DC-10.
OK, so since it's 2D10 plus well, I guess I'll roll the hit
first. Nevermind.
So 13. 13 To hit you will fire a shot off and take out one of the
tires, the one closest to you, as the plane itself kind of like
leans and sags forward, as now all of the insectoid creatures
now become aggressive. Oh, I was holding my action
until someone shot. So now I shoot.
Yep, and the barrage begins as Josh stands.
There so I. Don't need real damage, it just
pose the tire. Yeah.
You shoot a tire, yeah. Cool.
One point of damage will kill a tire.
Yeah, and I think it's. It's still your turn, so if you
want to move, you have bonus action and you're free action to
text. Or whatever.
Yeah, I'm just going to text and say somebody shoot the other
tire. Josh, get the other tire.
I shoot one of the dudes. You shoot.
Hold on one second, Justin. Did you want to do anything else
before yours finishes? I I just sent a a message in the
group chat, something to get that other tire and then mine's
done. Barrett, you're absolutely going
to hit with a 20. Which of these individuals did
you target specifically as you are now shooting?
Likely this duder. OK.
All right, go ahead and roll your damage.
OK, so that Oh my God. And then another one.
Yup. Oh, you're joking.
Oh yeah, so. Maximum damage of 24.
Damn. Yeah, with 24 damage.
Tell me exactly how this creature gets instantly
vaporized. I would have been like aiming
straight for wherever like its head connects to its body is.
I don't know if these bugs have necks or not, but like the idea
is like, you know, kind of disconnect the head from the
body, you know? Oh yeah, yeah.
So 2 sniper shots take our our fire, one taking out the wheel,
the other shooting this thing right in the head and it just
stands there for a second before its head kind of like wobbles
forward, backward, forward, and then backward and falls off and
the body crumples to the ground as the rest now explode into a
flurry of activity. I believe.
Let's see, chromatic Orb was waiting until Josh got away,
right? That was the.
Yeah. Dated purpose.
It was, yeah, once. Once Josh starts running, I
fire. OK, so then let's see.
Hey, how did? How did we get out of order?
Oh, it's 'cause I took my action.
No, I took my held action. So.
That's right. That's right.
So then Josh, it is now your turn.
Fuck. Fuck.
And you were still next to this guy at the end of your turn, it
looked like. But didn't you say you backed up
or no, you said you were going to.
That's right. So you're still adjacent to this
creature who is now aggressive towards you versus, you know,
trying to, like, push you away. Dude, where is it now?
Here. I haven't used any of these yet,
so it would be a prime time to do so, I think.
Why does it not tell me all of that here?
I believe I can use a key point to use a bonus action, Dash or
Disengage. Oh yeah, Step of the wind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you at the level to have
that? MO, no, no, I'm not.
Step of the Wind 5E. Yeah, I think that's a level.
What level are you I? Think we're all level 10.
Yeah, but. He's got, he's got.
He's a triple multi class. I thought we were.
Let me double check. Because I'm five.
You you, you said? Yeah.
And then went back to 8. So I'm at 5 for Artificer and
two for Monks. So I do not believe I have Step
of the Line. I have Flurry of Blows, Patient
defense. No.
I do have. I do have Step no.
You do you get it with your key at the second level?
Yeah, I just checked on Sonora. So.
I I use the the steps of the wind and disengage as the bonus
action, you know and they use the all of my movement to run
away. Oh yeah, you cast, you use Step
of the Wind and it kind of looks almost like a fight from Avatar
The Last Airbender, legally distinct as you kind of kick
backwards, stepping backwards away from this individual in the
air. So you raise about 5 feet off
the ground and then kick out with your feet, dispelling the
air in front of you and like flinging yourself backwards with
your jumps, increased jump speed and are able to use your
movement to disengage and get away from this creature.
At which time the chromatic orb I think is going to go off.
Yes, it is. What type of chromatic orb are
you doing? Fire because I'm going to try to
blow up an engine. Hell yeah, #terrorism do.
You know it. Legally distinct.
I'm only a terrorist from my house.
How fucking Yes, Crit, baby. Fucking.
A lot of damage, Yeah. Does that have an?
AOE effect. Or is it just to be 5 feet?
Let's find. Out.
So it's. 33. Points of damage on a natural 20
and chromatic or it's a four inch diameter sphere of.
Energy. That's.
All it says. I was kind.
Of hoping that. Like it's an engine fire
explosion. Yeah, go ahead.
And so with that, with that payment, you know?
Maybe maybe like a you. Know 15 or 15.
To 30 foot radius or something. I don't know.
I don't know anything about explosions.
Sure. Let's see.
We're going to run this off. Of a fireball, you know, maybe
maybe get these guys or something.
So we're going to do a half fireball.
So. Each.
Creature in a 20 foot radius is going to make a deck save, and a
target takes 46 fire damage on a field save, or half as much so
if you were aiming here. You're talking literally jet.
Fuel, yeah. So you said a 20 foot radius.
Yeah, so if you hit here, the 10. 20. 40.
It'd be like this big. Ish.
I guess. No.
I can't move. I can't move it now.
Because each. Of these are.
Five, so if it's 20 foot. Radius.
That's 40 feet wide. Yep.
Yeah, I. Don't know how to, I don't know
how. To you're hit my drawings.
Oh, you have to like select them in a very specific spot.
For. This is 40.
Feet from that engine, if that's the engine you're aiming from,
if you can. 20 foot radius I can, yeah.
There we go. There's. 20 feet, so you're
gonna hit. Those three guys.
And the number of the contents of the plane itself?
Go ahead and roll ME4D6 and I'm gonna roll the deck saves.
What about the so oh, so the 33. Damage is.
Just on the engine and then, yeah, so you did the damage to
the engine and then the engine is secondarily.
Now exploding outward. OK, gotcha.
And how many? You said 46.
We'll just do a full fireball. So do 80. 686 46 is going to
kill him. Just as good 86.
Will just be a bigger explosion. Yeah, which?
Is a big boom what I'm expecting from?
Something that's already literally exploding.
On a confined scale, but now just unconfined?
Yup, two of them are definitely going to fail.
The two that are directly. Next to it, looking the other
way, one's going to succeed but still take half damage, so 24 /
12 That's still going to be enough to kill it.
So then inside to. Yup, these are.
Not beefy characters, these are just double murdered.
That thing, then, with my 24. Oh.
Yes, you've all straight up, like, decapitated these.
Oh, you. Straight up did so.
All. Three of these creatures on the
outside of this plane will explode the plane itself, the
engine explodes outward. The secondary engine next to it
then explodes as well inside the actual plane itself.
You can now see from the outside as this just massive, thunderous
like clap. Occurs and you can hear it.
From a good distance away inside, you can see a number of
these large crates have been decimated inside.
I said that already flailing bodies covered in fire and jet
fuel, as what appears to be a number of zombies appear to now
be actively on fire and spilling out of the side of the plane as
they are now. Free from their boxes, but.
Most of them have died. Did you catch any of the ones?
In the back. 10/20. Not that one, but on the
secondary. Explosion on the secondary
explosion you would have and. This box here catches.
Fire the edge of it blows off the corner.
Yeah, so. That would be like explosion 2.
Number one. And then yeah.
Explosion #2 from here takes out this box.
And one of these creatures die. But you now see stumbling from
one of these boxes 3 zombies or a number of zombies, because
these are weirdly scaled. As the contents.
Of these boxes. Are now revealed that.
Was a very Do those circles look kind of correctish?
For Yep, that's about right. What what I did OK, cool.
Just so. Everyone can kind of visualize.
Like what? What got destroyed or hit or
whatever? There's fire now, actively.
Everywhere on the ground nearby, flailing.
Zombies kind of pouring out from here that are actively on fire,
falling down dead to the ground. These two here kind of turn and
see what's going on, right? Noise.
Well, I. Think the plane is officially
not. Going anywhere.
So. Let's go find Franklin and I I
say that in text just like. Much.
Much, much shorter. Plain grounded.
What about the long turtle? Yeah, basically.
Yeah. So I'm gonna want the slide one
I love. Slide phones.
I guess we could be using. Like speech to text.
Yeah, to your own phones. Everyone has their Airpods in
and it's just like. Siri texted this to the.
Screwjob. Exactly.
I mean, or just everyone be on Discord and everyone have your.
Yeah, everyone sizzle on Discord.
Yeah, yeah. I think we should be worried
about them. Crates of zombies.
I feel like they're in. Crates.
And they're not going anywhere. Well, no, you just freed a bunch
of them. Are those ones?
Alive or dead? These ones are alive.
Only one of them was in like the blast.
Radio. So you took off the side of this
box. Oh, I got you.
And it looks like he took off the side the corner of this one.
OK, well then maybe we kill these zombies and then go find
Franklin. Fire or you can leave the
zombies to like. The.
Snipers we can. Handle it, Yeah.
I mean my my turn descended so. I'm I'm like I can't do
anything. Right now, yeah, I'm retreating.
It's all I say with with Todd. He said y'all fucked up, running
away. Yeah, pretty much running emoji
it. Is now the.
Enemy's turn as now all of the boxes here begin rattling and
shaking, including these two. Wait, you even see those?
Or is that on the wrong layer? That's different layer, so you
don't see those. Never mind, there's no boxes
there. They're just over here.
You don't see it. All of these boxes here begin to
rattle and shake as something inside tries to break free.
Shit. Shit.
Oh, Jew zombies were a problem. So.
I need to roll Wait wait wait. Yeah, I also I.
Also, just send in the chat real quick.
And. Say.
Well, I'll call Sammy J on my turn.
Maybe we can get them to clean up this mess.
Yeah, get reinforcements. We.
Got bigger problems? That's the government.
What did you expect at? Anything.
We contained the. He said, he said contain the
situation. We have done that.
It is no longer a systemic problem.
It is contained. It's just contained on us.
I am my own lawyer. Do you want me?
Do you want me to text him? I'll text him real quick.
He's on call. On.
Your turn so two of. These.
Boxes are actually going to crash open shit.
The others will remain unopened. Was.
Now let's see who's within sight.
Justin's still on the roof being sneaky.
I'm hiding. Behind Josh?
They begin. You can't see me?
I'm pretty much you. Know honestly.
I'm definitely taller than Josh. Hey, there's a.
There's some bugs up here that. Look like there's.
Distinctly. OK, we're about the same
distance from now, but yeah, we were about the same distance.
They begin 510 well. Actually, these guys have guns,
so that's right. Don't try to put axes on these
guys. Yeah.
Oh God, they're just letting.
Loose with fire. So these two, these two bug
creatures are going to both kind of like belly down and conceal
themselves part way down. The side of this plane give
themselves half cover because it's a it's at a dangle and they
both take shots off at Josh since he is standing in the
forefront. Josh, are you shielding yourself
with Todd? Are you shielding Todd?
I'm shielding Todd. Don't sound so sad about it.
We're going to have. -2 AC to. Shield Todd.
You. Can heal Todd.
You can't heal yourself. So they're going to.
Take a shot. Let's see where.
Is the two and then they both have a + 3.
To hit so an 18 + 3 so 21 and a 14 to hit that does not.
Hit either of them, you said. 14.
So an 18 plus. Three so 21 and a 14.
So two shots, the 14 does not the 21 the other one does.
OK. So roll 2D10. +3 So you take 12
points of damage as you. Feel I don't know if you've.
Ever been shot before, Josh? But you feel like a burning pain
in your chest and it feels like someone punched you.
Quite suddenly you lose your breath and you're kind of
stunned for a second as you take 12 points of piercing damage as
two shots take out or ring out and hit you, or one hits you.
You said you said 12 that time. Do you mean 4 did?
You say 14 the first time? No, it's 12 damage, 14 to.
Hit the first time. Thank you SO. 12 damage, yeah.
Boink all of the rest of the zombies.
Who have freed themselves have now.
Moved actively towards you guys. Two healing potions and it will
be their turn. Olivia.
Yeah. OK, good.
All right, I'm. Going to see.
Josh, get shot. Be like oh fuck.
We got to. Kill these now.
Luckily I have a health potion. But before we deliver the health
potion, I am going to hell. Yeah.
Magic. Nice.
We're going to cast that at the fourth level.
Oh fuck yeah. So for every You're a big fan of
Magic Missile? It's a great spell.
Fantastic spell. So yeah.
Spell creates one more dart for each slot level above, well, it.
Starts at 3:00 and then an additional three more.
So I think it's 6, right? Yeah, that's offline.
Yeah, yeah. So I get to send 6.
Each dart hits a creature of my. Choice that I see within range.
And then it deals 1D4 plus one, so five damage.
To its target. So I don't know.
I guess it. Just hits once.
So it's so at this point. At this.
Point they are. Becoming a a horde.
Versus. Individuals.
So I'm going to start treating them as one big health pool.
OK, so. OK, so then.
I am doing. Six times.
Five think. You roll the damage.
Each time. Right 'cause it's separate.
Missiles. Exactly, Yeah.
Yeah. So roll 6D4.
OK. Oh, so I'm surprised.
Yeah, I had that issue last. Time I had to like, roll the
roll. That's right.
Yeah. So you have one, So row 5.
More than you add five onto that total.
Wow. So that plus 521.
Yeah. So 21 more plus.
The five from earlier so. 2126 Total 21 or 20. 6 Yeah, 21 It
should be 26 because she. Would add because each dart.
Is 1 D 4 + 1, so she rolled 5 more so it would be 5 on top of
that plus the 521. Oh right, so 26.
Yeah, good point. Nice good catch.
I play too much. D&D.
Nice. So you see Olivia?
As kind of you've seen before, just are you flailing around
this time too, or was that that was Ash?
No, that was you. Bree.
That was Bree. Sorry, that was Bree to
Yosemite. Stamming the bugs.
So how do you shoot your magic missiles?
Oh, so I'm gonna like. That song from I'm gonna like
sing a little like doodle to myself, so I'm gonna be there on
the side like. I'm gonna.
Send a magic muscle over there. I'm like, almost like a
conductor waving my arms around you.
You. You're humming to yourself and
the rest of. You kind of see her kind of
doing. These kind of jerky dance type
movements and then just like posing and then shooting out of
magic missile several times and then all six kind of streak up
through the air from you. And then I'll land directly into
the this now horde of zombies to doing a fair chunk of damage to
it as about 1/5 or so of the zombie horde kind of falls off
to the ground. Currently the boxes in the back
continue to rattle those that are left.
I should probably mark which ones.
Nice job. Would you like to?
Move use your bonus or text. Yeah, so I have my bonus.
I can move another 30. Let me.
Look and see where I can go. I'm going to move.
Yeah, here in the direction. Of Josh 'cause my idea?
Is to give. A health potion 'cause I don't
know how much health Josh has left, I'm assuming he probably
needs a potion. On his main goal.
But that's it. It's the end of my turn.
Unless. Barrett I think.
That's all. I think that's the only bonus I
Yeah, that's shall cast Hunter's Mark on the horde of zombies.
Oh yeah, so I will get to do an extra.
D6 of damage. Oh, I don't know why that rolled
it. That'll be my damage if I hit,
there we go. And then I'm going to try and
shoot the horde of zombies. Go for it.
Make your shot, I think. That hits, that's absolutely.
Gonna. No, you miss the zombies.
The brick wall of that plus. And it's one additional diet for
the. D for the Oh yeah, you.
Got it. Yeah, 16, So 21 total damage
with the Hunter's. Oh yeah, jotted in.
Nice job. I does say I get 2.
Attacks per action, so. Can I shoot it again?
In or, no, of course you can. You get 2 attacks?
Two attacks. Shot Oh, does.
That does a 16. Hit a 16.
Does hit. This appears to be a large.
Horde of zombies. Shooting it is almost like
shooting a brick wall. Wow.
Amazing. Wow.
OK. So that is an additional.
Awe. This is going to be.
A shittier total plus. Hunter's mark.
Oh really? Hunter's Mark?
That was rude math. 18 more damage plus 18 Perfect.
I think the whole map shifted. Did I?
Don't. Don't worry about that.
Don't. Worry about it.
The world. Shifts under your feet.
Don't worry about sweetheart. Don't, don't.
Don't worry, don't. Worry about, sweetheart.
It's fine. Second shot.
You just take. Off another chunk of these.
Zombies, as as they seem to be like slowly rolling forward.
Much like one of those video game ads you see online.
You guys are just knowing them for like down as as fast as
they're approaching. The ones where they always go
for the wrong options because they're stupid.
Yelp. Anything else from you and then
Brianna's on it that was. My that was.
My action bonus action. So perfect.
Brianna then Justin on deck. As this horde looks.
Pretty, pretty. Not great right?
Now it looks bloodied. Oh, sorry, this one or this one?
The the zombie. Horde in general is is more
it's. Just OK, gotcha.
Gotcha if more. Released.
It'll probably gain health, but you know.
Yeah, I'm going to cast. Which bolt?
Nice. So that is, I think, a save,
right? No.
I think that's a roll to hit. Yeah, 24 to hit, Absolutely.
Damn, I rolled. Super shitty on the damage.
Oh yeah. 5. So you.
Very. Impressively, run forward, whip
your arms out in a large bolt of lightning.
Actually, hold on. I think I stay.
Where I'm at. Oh, it's 30.
Feet. Hold on.
Hold on a second. You need to move.
It looks like I do 75 You wouldn't be able to get there.
75 Clock. That's OK.
Never mind. Never.
Mind. The world shakes and time
reverses. Right.
OK. So.
What I am going to do? Instead, are these like bands or
something? Yeah, those are like those
little. Like carts that airports.
Use to like like move luggage. It's like a fancy golf cart,
essentially. OK.
Shit, Maybe there's one of them that has like, one of those.
Cool. Ladder things.
And it has Blues on the side, legally distinct.
I'm like I'm like just out of like I'm I need like. 10 extra
feet of movement sucks, bro. It really does.
It. Absolutely.
Does Hold on. I'm going through what?
I have, sorry. OK, so since I'm standing.
Right next to Josh. Oh, wait, I picked up a pistol.
You did? Does Josh look like he's pretty
hurt to me or Josh? Are you, like, dying?
Not dying? But I'm.
Pretty hurt, especially because. I got stepped down by a bear
earlier. Oh yeah, and bitten by.
That. OK, yeah, so I'm going to take
my action. To.
Feed Josh a health potion. So that he can take a.
Action on his turn. Describe it to me.
Is it sensual? No, I pull the back of his.
Head because his back is to me and I like.
Pull by, pull him by his hair like, tilt his head back and
just dump the portion in what he could be.
And then drew. That as sensual you do hear,
Yeah. A little giggle from you.
As you as you pull the hair. Yeah.
And then I give you like a little.
Shove in your back like not to like push you forward but just
kind of like and then say like like get them and then and then
I move and I run over here and that's my turn.
And so then I no longer have this manage it good.
Justin, you are up with Josh on. Deck are all.
The zombies. Like one big horde or is it
like? Two smaller.
Hordes, I'm saying it is now one big horde.
That's how I'm running it and the ones that are.
On the plane? Are they like maybe Inside the
plane? Probably.
Yeah, a lot of the ones that are down here.
That you're seeing are actively. On fire and running through jet
fire, Like running through fire. You imagine they will not do
they take like A does. That mean they take a like AD.
Four of fire damage at the end of the turn.
Each time they're in it, yes. Yes, you do know of the two.
Snipers though that. Are half concealed here?
Because of my height or so wait if you're half.
Concealed. Does that give me that
disadvantage on shots? Is that what that means?
So they are lying prone, which gives you disadvantage.
They are also lean far back along the the curve of the
plane. So from your perspective they
have 1/2 or they have partial cover and then from everyone
else's perspective they have three quarter cover.
Gotcha. All right, I'm going to take a
shot at. The one closer.
To the front of the plane, near the little stairwell.
Real disadvantage as it's prone all right that. 1.
Oh, eleven. Nice.
Yeah, with an 11. You'll you'll wait?
No. Well, they have they.
Have three quarter cover. So let me look up what that is.
Again, you went to +5. Do they see, I believe.
That's so sexy. Yep, it is +5.
So that's going to miss. Unfortunately.
Like I said, too much D&D or no. They were partial cover.
Yeah, for me it's partial for most is 3.
Partial is. Two, shouldn't you cover?
Is 2, yeah, and you got. 11. So yeah, that would still hit my
knowledge. That'll hit OK.
So then I need to. Roll an additional. 1D10 on top
of my 9 piercing, correct. Yep.
Yeah. That'll still kill it.
Easy. Three.
So a total of 12 points. Hell.
Yeah, so even at disadvantage, and even with.
It barely visible peeking over the edge of the the plane
itself. You right through the middle.
Of the forehead. As it drops its gun and slides
down the back of the plane, landing with a thud on the
ground behind cool and in your in your.
Mind you hear fatality. Mortal Kombat, All right, that.
One's gone. Does someone have the sending?
Spell what's happening you? See 10 + 10 XP somewhere in
your. In your side vision.
You start wondering if this is even real.
Yeah, I don't think I only have one.
I only have one attack personally, so.
I will. Just leave it there.
Stay where I'm at. All right, Josh, you're up and
then enemy on deck. The zombie hordes looking pretty
fucked. Those that are alive and out of
the boxes at least. And there's one more sniper.
Oh my God. Oh my gosh, that.
'D be so good. Super.
No. Snatching.
I'm just looking. Back at I forgot to add my
health for that potion. I got to look at it and I'm
guess. Roll it here 2D. 4 + 2.
Yeah, I was going to ask you how what your health's looking like
there, Josh. Yeah, that was only half the
damage. That the one guy did.
Basically, so I yeah, OK. I'm looking at 35 out of 59.
How many total hit points do you have?
Yeah, it's all right. You're.
Fine. Oh, you're doing OK.
Not dead yet, I. Only have 33 right now, so
you're doing great. Well, yeah, I would still.
Probably at this point in time though.
Especially just to keep this simple and short.
Run back the use my action and such to dash back to the van
with Todd to the van so you with.
Todd. Are you using your action?
To dash, yes. To to put Todd in the van.
Got it. So that's half movement from
dragging. So you get one full movement of
you can step up the wind and dash.
Yeah, I've only. Got one more of those and it
doesn't look like we're getting a rest today.
We can show us to give it back to you.
I can short rest it. Back to me.
Yeah, key points. Restore on short rests.
Beautiful. I don't think we're that far
away from. Franklin, though, and I just
look up at the clouds. You probably would have been
able to get a short rest on the. Trip up?
Yeah, so and but I think he's only level 2 so he might only
have like 2 key points. Correct.
Yeah. Oh.
You would have been able to. Nobody said it.
But you could have used to die then.
For those who are injured, so we did short rest.
I probably should have done that.
You. Can retroactively do it.
I will be. Doing that now.
As I'm sitting Todd down in the van.
Or trying to all right. If you're doing that, it'll be
the enemy's turn. Let's see, where are you?
Josh. Probably not within range.
OK. Justin, you're.
Prone up there too. Currently, yes.
Yeah. So you'd be prone at.
Three quarter cover. From the guy on the.
Plane. So he is going to instead take a
shot at Olivia because Brianna is currently hiding behind this
truck and Olivia is standing in the open.
Oh, good. Plus 319 to hit I'm at.
Me bro. Does that hit you?
Scared. You won't.
I don't. Know, maybe you're a tank. 19.
Yeah, that was really shitty role.
So 4 + 3. Seven points of damage.
As Olivia. You two.
I don't know if you've ever been shot before now.
Have experienced being shot. Now you know.
Now you know you feel. The punch to the chest?
Yep. You feel the punch to the chest.
Do you feel the white hot pain? That's.
Seven damage, I was going. To say I mean definitely.
I've been shot with the paintballs and stuff.
It's like that, but much worse. Yeah, seven damage.
OK 7. Damage, right?
Yeah, OK. I'm.
Going to like. Get hit and stagger back like.
Stand up all right, like little Raspberry.
Adam 123. 4. 5 S the 5 zombies. That are or the the five crates
are going to roll taunt you a second time 2.
And oh, another wave pops out. As three of them.
Succeed. To bust their way out of these
crates, they will move. Yeah, I mean more I would say
use the like the far. Range option on the like the
heavy crossbow versus in the crossbow, I mean.
Yeah, the short range on the. Heavy Crossbow is a. 100 and the
long range is 4. 100 So I'm like 100 feet away.
I mean the heavy crossbow being a rifle slash sniper.
The 400 feels right. Oh Jesus, OK.
So. 3. More of these crates kind of
crash. Open as this now refreshed horde
begins moving forward. Damn it.
I said it's 20, another run. Emoji in the.
Chat. Oh yeah, I'm going to send a
text. I'm going to send a text.
Some of them would have been. In this fire.
So I'm going. To roll the one.
Before, so they take three points of damage, and then the
ones in the plane also take damage.
They're still flailing around and the ones in the plane seem
to be not really a big deal as this now swollen.
Zombie horde. Dashes at you guys at a very
fast pace speed considering this is 6 seconds.
That was the end of their turn, so Olivia and then bear it on
deck. Yo, yeah.
Beast level OK As much as I really like Magic Missile, I
think I'm out of fourth level spells.
I. Think I've used both my spells
level magic missile, so instead I'm going to.
Use fire bolt. Yeah, 21 to hit.
Well, absolutely. I got a 21 to hit.
Strike them, go ahead and roll your damage.
As you begin just flinging. Fire from your hands, seeing
this horde now kind of rolling over a lot of these vehicles on
their way to you, OK? Roll AD 20.
I didn't do well. I only did five damage.
Hopefully some. Of them are on fire.
I'm all, oh, OK, I can do that. I don't know.
You don't catch me on fire, sadly.
Oh, 7 bonus action for me, God. Damn it.
OK. Drinking a health potion?
Is an action. Action to feed it to someone.
Well, I'm going to use that. Gotcha.
Well, I would love. To take it as a bonus action,
but instead I would rather run. Away.
So I'm going to use that expeditious retreat.
That I have. Cast and I am going to use my
bonus to. Go. 30 in a direction away from
the zombies. Hi.
There you see? Olivia.
Lee from next to you. As this horde approaches, it is
now your turn. What do you do?
You've smelled them. Now it's pretty bad.
Oh. Oh, I have this little.
Fun thing that gives me like a safe space.
Oh, millennial, because I have this little.
Thing called rope. Trick.
That's like a little fun thing because I can just pick.
Up a piece of rope and give myself an interdimensional
little box. That's right.
And then you just what? Look out-of-the-box at the.
Horde of zombies. Waiting.
For you to like, shoot, that's true.
I don't know if zombies have the the muscle strength.
To like be able to climb a rope even though the rope literally
can be pulled up into the space. Oh Jesus, you just got to be at
the tree house I. Don't know, like that's exactly
what. I can do.
Is that? What you're going to do?
Oh, I don't know. Because then it's like I'm kind.
Of stuck there until I. Kill everything.
Or and all my friends will leave me, I'm gonna start moving in
the direction well so it's not like the rope.
So I take AI take a piece of rope that can bear like the rope
up to 60 feet and essentially it goes perpendicular to the ground
and at the very top of whatever the rope is, is like this 3 foot
by 5 foot like little pocket dimension that I can like go up
into. So like you would have to climb
up the rope to get there. But yeah or no?
Sorry, it's a. You can see out of a three foot
by. 5 foot it can. It itself can hold as many as
medium or smaller creatures maybe.
Yeah. If I knew, we were like running
away. I would have made.
This and we would have had like a little cubby hole that we
could all just throw spells out of.
I think we would be effective. Yeah, well, I'm only running
away, 'cause there's like, we're not.
All throwing. Our force, full force.
Against the zombie horde. But together, I mean them
getting closer, like a general person standing there like me
versus the zombie horde is not going to do well.
I'm gonna send a text out and be like, I mean, I can move 30
feet, take them out regardless towards where everyone else is,
and then wander, get my shots. Off towards the zombie.
Board, you know, doesn't need zombies.
You're running fight. You know, yeah, there might be
some special. Yeah, you pull.
The side off of it, and it has those.
Little like built in LE DS because it's like a wizard.
Like like a decal on the side. And you?
Find a hidden button. And you click it and it has cool
graphics. It has little LE DS that pop up
for the spell. It's very cool looking, OK?
All right. Well, I'm gonna.
Move my 30 feet of movement in. A van.
I can do a lot of direction of the van, I'll take it.
This is true. I'm gonna take.
My 30 feet and move. Towards the direction of the van
where everyone else is going, but then I'm gonna turn around
and take my shots shot. So first.
Shot. It is a. 23 to hit.
And that'll do. Oh, we're starting off great.
Nice. Oh, that was lame.
All right, that was rude. First Hunter's Mark damage.
That also was rude. All right.
OK, I see how it is. This is 16.
That's 16 total. That was so mean.
See. This is perfect shot.
And it hits. And like the first initial
damage makes you feel like, oh, this is gonna be great and you
do a decent amount of damage. You take out, you know, three or
four of them in a row, but then the the bullet just kind of
lodges in the side of like a really big one and he kind of
turns you and slaps his belly. Well then I shoot him again for.
A 23 again. Wow if this repeats.
Itself. I'm gonna be so mad.
Oh, that was almost full damage. And then it decided it wasn't
going to be all right. Is Hunter's mark once per turn
or once per shot, or every? Shot every hit.
That's very nice. Oh, thank you, Hunter.
'S mark actually pulling. Through so that's.
Also 16. Damage.
God damn it. Hey, you managed to kill the.
One now same number. To hit and the same amount.
Of damage on both hits. That's pretty rare, it feels
like. Was kind of what the fuck?
What the fuck? So with those shots.
You tear into this crowd of zombies as a lot of the, the
newly, a lot of the zombies that have kind of joined up now have
diminished again, back to kind of the size that you had a few
minutes ago before the 2nd wave of boxes broke.
I forgot I was a. Dead ambusher.
I had an extra attack on the. First round.
Whatever I forgot about that forgot I get 3.
In the first round and then. Two From then on.
Whatever. Yep.
All right, so you move yourself. Back away from the.
Crowd, Yes, Yeah. I'm moving towards the van where
everyone else is going. I don't think my token's on
there, but yeah, where? No, I don't think my token is on
there like on the map at all. Yeah.
What do you mean? Oh, no, there.
She is. She's.
All the way over there. What the?
Fuck. You were like over there the
whole time. Yeah, I was here.
So. Pretty much.
Was there the whole? Time and then, yeah, so I'm
moving backwards. I would be over with the group
over here. Got it.
All right. Then I think it's on to Brianna,
right? Yes and Justin.
On deck. Brianna.
This board is very close. Yes.
So. Now.
I like poke my head. Out.
From behind. And I cast which bolt.
Hold one second. Me roll this
Which bolt? Oh, plug my head out. 15 to hit
and 14 damage. Oh yeah.
It's 14 damage. Your lightning bolt.
Strikes out at it, connecting it like comes.
Down from the sky. Nice.
So now connected. To you, then?
No, I kind of. Like throw my hand up in the
air. And then, like, lightning comes
down where I call it like, Oh yeah.
Do you say the power of Christ compels you?
No. OK, with which bolt?
You don't have to. You don't have.
To roll to. Hit anymore.
Once you hit the first time, it stays on there for the duration.
Exactly. It's a concentration, which is
why I'm casting it, so I can just continue to like call down
lightning. Yeah, without extending With,
Yeah, without extending spells. Range dependent though, so you.
Have to remain within range. Yes, yes, correct.
But the zombies don't know this. That's.
Accurate, They get hit. With this lightning strike from
the sky as it kind of ripples through all of them as a whole,
doing a fair bit of damage to them.
Are you remaining where you are? Are you retreating?
Nope. I am going to retreat behind
this thing. OK.
I'm just like box hopping essentially or truck truck truck
hopping. That's great.
All right. Justin, you were up.
And then Josh on deck if you're all done.
Brianna. Sorry, no, I was just gonna go
ahead. I'm gonna take.
A A shot at the last sniper. That's.
Kind of on the plane. Looks like he's the last one
over there. Disadvantage as before.
OK, teen 1816 is. That hit, I'm assuming.
Yeah, 16 is absolutely going to. Hit.
All right, so it's six piercing plus one D 10.
So 13 points of damage. Hell yeah.
And with that you will be able to.
Ping. Off the last of the snipers,
very similarly to the last one, they were kind of sitting side
by side, so you only had to kind of shift over as the last sniper
body rolls and crumbles to the ground.
All right. So at.
That point I'm going to. I'm going to stand up.
I'm. Going to use Cunning Action to.
Dash. Before I do that, I'm going to
grab the sniper of the first one I killed and then kick his
fucking carcass off the roof. You kick it and it kicks real
good. 'Cause it's just a bug.
Yeah, field goal. Got it.
And then yeah. I will.
Just dash back to the. Ladder I came up on, which I can
looks like I can get all the way there, at least to the top of
the ladder with 60 feet movement.
Yeah, so I'm going to do that, Dash.
Over there and. I think that'll be much room.
Both snipers like both snipers in hand as I'm running so much
you run up to. The edge?
Yeah, after taking those snipers.
Out and you look down, seeing the others kind of tactically
retreating Josh. You're up and then enemies on
deck as this horde of zombies is now the last thing that's
shambling and meandering towards you, it itself not looking super
healthy. Todd is with you.
Yeah, yeah. So I'm.
I'm still. Moving away.
I am 10. Feet away from the van.
With my action as a dash action gotcha.
I am breathing. Heavily because.
Of Todd's story. What all?
Right. So, Josh, you spend your.
Action continually dragging Todd back to the van.
All right, their turn it will move.
Well, they got some good movement, Will.
Well, they're using their full action.
To dash up, I was going to say they're dashing.
Yeah, so they use their whole. Turn to get within melee.
Range of both Olivia and Barrett.
No, I'm not good at Melee. Fuck.
But that will be the end. Of their term, Olivia and then
Barrett on. Deck, you guys are not
threatened. What about me?
This zombie. Horde use.
Their action to Dash. Forward and they are now in
melee range of three of you. Fuck.
OK, yeah. The lady follows by the time
you. Turn
Olivia. Olivia.
It's your turn. Yeah, these guys are real close.
I don't like. It I.
Don't like it at all? No, no, no, no, no.
I think I wanted to use Ray of Frost, but I don't know if I can
move it. That's kind.
Of like. Spray ray of frost?
Yeah, Ray of Frost is just a a single target.
Right. Yeah.
Frigid beam. Yeah, toward a or technically
counts as one creature. So I guess I'm gonna do, oh, I
think that's true. But I kind of want to, like,
chat. All right, So it's.
Play BTC so its speed is reduced by 10.
Feet until the start of your next turn, yeah.
Right. OK, I can do that.
I rolled a 19. Frost, Richard.
The beam takes the beam shape one. 2nd.
Hey guys I gotta help. Someone.
Beam oh, 19 to head and 11 damage.
I was just looking it up. To see what some other I.
Guess. Other rulings were and I, I.
Know Matt had to step away a second.
Yeah, sorry about that. So with a 19.
To hit that will absolutely hit, dealing 11 points of cold
damage. And then you see a layer of
frost kind of appearing around the bottoms.
And it's like the legs of these zombies, as many of them now
kind of, like visibly slow down as they have to crack through
this, continually forming ice. That you are within melee, so
you will take an attack of. Opportunity.
I'm going to flip them the bird and use my bonus to run away.
But it means you. Yeah, as you're running away
unprotected. Kind of.
Flinging of. You know they're within range.
What does that mean? You're not doing anything
special to like disengage, so they will get to swing.
So they will. Reach forward and try to grapple
you to. Be a contested strength check,
OK? It would just be a strength,
yeah. Saving.
Through. Contested.
Right. It's contested all.
Right, well. As you try to reach away, you
feel a. Plethora of cold, clammy, dead
hands grip you as you are now, grappled and unable to move.
But they don't try to bite you yet.
But you can feel yourself starting to get dragged.
Back into. The Horde.
So that was your movement and? Your action.
Any bonus actions? No.
Didn't you? Mm hmm.
Oh wait, did you disengage? Wait, hold on.
You can't spell like a bonus. On Eastern, so that you can.
Dash, OK? So you bonus action dashed away,
but that is not disengaged, so they still would have caught
you. All right, so that'll be your
turn with Barrett next and. Brianna on deck.
Question How? Smart are these zombies?
That is smart as a zombie could. Be so.
Think feral rabid animal like a rabid like a rabid animal.
So if I were to say, disguise myself to look like 1.
Of them, I believe we have established.
Lore wise, that the only way to get them.
To not notice you is to be a zombie.
Like actually be a zombie. Because if I.
Disguise myself. I would look like.
I don't think so. We haven't run into zombies as
much as you, I I. I don't remember any time
specifically for yourself, for instance, but Franklin had been
running experiments. On creating zombies.
On creating his. Whole on his.
And his whole plan was to masquerade themselves as
temporary zombies to get past zombies by teaching zombie
blood. But I don't think anyone had
like. Any sort of disguised self in
those. Plans.
No, we were just turning ourselves into zombies.
So. I guess, Josh, this is your
question. Yeah, I would say, I mean.
Can zombies are zombies? Attracted to people by.
Visual or by like scent? Or can they tell the scent of a
human brain? I think it would.
Be a combination of visual and you know scent and and and just
hearing too, you know like as long as you can mimic the
movements of the other zombies and you have an overall smell
which is probably their main sense.
That's what I would guess anyways.
That's not being like deteriorated because I'm I'm
assuming the rest of them is deteriorating to the point where
they can't see very well, they can't hear very well, but their
smell is probably still like pretty on point.
What comparable to our our smells because So disguise self
does that have a? Smell component to it, or is it
all visual you make yourself, including your clothing?
Armor. Weapons and other belongings on
your person look different until the spell ends or until you use
your action dismiss it. You can seem a foot shorter or
taller. You can appear, appear thin,
fatter in between. You can't change your body type,
so you must adopt A form that has the same basic arrangement
of limbs. I mean, so nothing really about.
Scent so you can. You can cast disk.
Itself. I'll let you cast it and you can
make a Deception check. It would be at disadvantage and
they would get advantage. Oh.
I'm not a charismatic person. I don't know if this is a good
idea. I mean, they are all.
What do they have? Let's see.
What is? What would that be?
I guess passive perception, right?
Because they're not. Actively trying to fuck with
you. Yeah.
So their passive perception is 8.
So. They would get advantage.
Well, they wouldn't get advantage.
I guess because they're not. But I would still have
disadvantage. That's the main thing.
You would? Yeah, you would have
disadvantage. Don't, I will let you make.
That decision. Oh, fuck it, we ball.
So I will cast this guy's self. I cast.
It great. There we go.
All right, go. Ahead.
Make your deception. And then?
Everyone else, take note of your passive perceptions.
Oh wait, I didn't think. That there wait, can I?
Send a text to be like. Hang on turning.
Into a zombie. I mean sure, but I want.
To see. If.
Anyone reacts. We're going to Bill Murray.
This one? Oh, you.
Motherfucker. No.
Oh, that is it was. Almost a Nat 20.
And a. 13 On the die, And then it decided.
To move over to A2 instead. Oh Dang dude, I am the.
Least believable zombie in existence, I'm standing.
There, super awkwardly and anxiously in comparison to the
structure of these decrepit fucking zombies.
Yeah, you're wringing your hands.
They're all. Just kind of like.
Walking forward, nervously twitching, and everyone's just
kind of like, all right. Well, that's not believable.
You have like a fake arrow through your head.
Run. Away.
I don't know. I'll take the, I'll take the hit
run. Away.
They already used their. Zombies.
Turn so they so Barrett, you were able to run away.
As you look around and see. Olivia getting dragged into the
horde. Oh, shoot.
Back here, they'll be busy with her, so yeah.
Dang, I should have just I forgot about the fact that they
used their. Reaction.
Fuck. Were you the one who is immune
to disease, though? No.
That's what I'd be. Worried about No Sorry 26 hit.
Points. It's fine anyway.
Anything else for you, Barrett, as you?
As you That's it. That's it.
That's me just panicking and running away.
This is like actually accurate. I would have in battle forgotten
that they can't take an opportunity of attack and I
would have done stupid shit like I did.
Yep. Brianna, you are up and.
Justin on deck. Ryan, I think you're up on a box
right now. I'm either on top of it or
behind it. Let's see where.
OK, I'm. Like, OK, so I'm going to.
Call Lightning. You're automatic, yeah?
Which bolt? So if I cast it at 2nd.
Level. Oh, it's just the initial
lightning that does extra, yeah. So it'll be.
Just normal. 1st. Level So.
Five damage Lightning. It's looking pretty hurt.
OK. And are these?
Boxes or are those the? Like little cart.
These here are all boxes. OK, so everything.
That I'm around those boxes. Yeah, the.
Carts. Are these things over here?
That are kind of parked. Seemingly OK and.
Then and then I'm going to run. That was my action.
You're able to. Easily get.
Away as all of their. Attention seems.
To be focused on eating Olivia. Yeah, I'm just trying to think.
Because I don't think there's. Much I can.
Do. Right now to help.
Olivia, 'cause like, trying to like, pull her?
Would be an action, correct? Yeah.
OK. So yeah, I'm just gonna run and
then I'm gonna text and be like they're looking pretty hurt.
We gotta save Olivia. That's my turn.
OK. Justin, you are up with Josh
then on deck. OK, you watch from above, a
bird's eye. Perspective as with.
Two snipers. You reach the edge of the
ladder. Can you see Olivia get
overwhelmed and the others flee? I say to myself.
Motherfucker can I'm. I'm.
Looking Can I see? Can I see Olivia or is she like
in the in the the Horde now? She would be in the Horde now.
So I have. I have.
No clue where she is. In the pile you saw where she
got. Pulled in you you know can
probably. Theorize that she's not too far
from that position, but like visually, you can't see her
gotcha all right. The horde's pretty big, so.
I'm gonna take a shot. Making sure to shoot as far away
from like where I last saw her at the Horde.
Does that count the shot, since that's she's there?
Is that kind of a sneak? Attack.
Or is it 'cause she's grappled? It's not.
I would say she's not currently a.
That's a good question. I don't know the official.
Rulings on it What do? You guys think it's normally an
ally within that's not incapacitated?
Really capacitated? Grappled.
She's currently grappled. So she can still technically
attack. So yeah.
As long as someone. Can attack within 5 feet.
Of the enemy then you get advantage.
On will you get sneak attack. OK, so then that's that means
yes. OK cool.
Or if you have advantage. On it, yeah.
All right, I'm taking. Taking a shot Natural 2024?
Hell yeah. So that's gonna be 19 + 26.
That's. 40. Five plus another D10O.
OK, go ahead and roll. That's.
Gonna be close 48. Points total 48.
OK. You basically completely take
this creature. Out.
It's still the the horde itself is still active and moving.
However, they are barely holding on to the scraps.
Of undeath. OK.
Excellent shot and probably saved Olivia's life.
I'm going to at that point. Kind of like.
Throw the snipers, both of them like over my my shoulders and
then go back down the the ladder to like to the van.
Nice. You were able to do so next to
the van. Yeah.
You see, Josh? Dragging.
Todd very kind of tired and, like, sweaty.
Wow. OK, well then I do.
I have more movement. How much movement would I use
getting down the ladder? It would probably be at least 30
feet of. Movement because the.
The If you think these got a hold of plane in it, OK, well, I
guess then Ken, my bonus actually I took.
A shot to do, a dash to get over and kind of like take Todd off
his hand so he can have a break? Sure.
All right, let's do that. What's up, Todd?
Oh. He doesn't respond, OK, Yeah, he
looks really not good. He's Josh has been dragging.
Him so his clothes are all kind of ragged.
He's got puffy face and like bruises from getting shoved out
the car. He does look like me though, and
I don't know if that brings you any sense of joy.
If it does, please keep it to yourself.
It would hurt my feeling. I I grab Todd.
Like off his and like put him on my shoulder.
I get him a nice hard slap. On the face and then hit their
hands. Take that as you will.
Justin. Thank you.
Josh, you are up with the. Enemy on deck, These things are
barely holding on to the scraps of undeath, so.
With Justin taking Todd. Off my hands, I look back over
my shoulder and. How high are these crates and
everything that are? In the way of the of it, I I
assume that they walk through it, but you know, I'm gonna say.
Each of these. Kind of levels of shadow.
That you? See is five feet, so 15 feet
tall at the center Ridge. Like so if.
It OK. Could I roll a perception to see
if I could get line of sight? On Olivia through those, like
through the cracks and sure in the horde.
OK, perception. 20 Not natural. Hell yeah.
Yeah, you would, definitely. See especially.
Now that the horde is so diminished, you would see Olivia
near the center now being kind of born to the ground or on the
way to being born to the ground, as the remnants of this horde
have basically all turned away from you guys.
Now that they have acquired a target or a victim and they are
all looking inward, you definitely see her.
As a bonus action. Blink.
Oh, I sanctuary. Oh.
You sneaky bitch. I Nice.
Nice. I.
Stout. Towards Olivia and say yeah.
Thou shalt not. Attack her, basically, and peek
just around. The edge.
Actually, you know. What I could probably.
Get a shot off at the horde of them, as yours sounds like, from
what I can manage at least, And through the boxes take a
singular shot back. Towards them.
Yeah, there we go. Yeah, that wasn't great. 14
definitely hit, yeah. OK, twill twill we twill damage?
Tell me. How do?
You kill this port. Of zombies?
Yeah, wasn't expecting that. How do?
You want to do this? How do you want?
To do this. They were.
Justin got it within two. HPI didn't.
Realize it was that bad off so. Yeah I I whip it around I bonus
action say you ate you ain't you ain't hurting her and.
Realized that it was only one zombie.
It was. Protecting her from basically at
this point and baking. Breathe deeply, let the breath
out and. Pull the.
Trigger and it slow MOS into the barrel roll of the rifling round
as it license through the zombie's head.
Hell yeah, And at your angle, the bullet keeps going.
And it hits the other engine of the plane as there is another
large explosion in the background.
Do you want to turn and put sunglasses on?
The only answer to that question is yes.
You turn. And you put sunglasses on.
Do you have? A cool quote.
Time to leave, guys. And as he says.
That we. Will.
Conclude this evening's game. There will be one more it seems
for next week, so that will be the finale.
Though I half expected you guys to see this from a distance and
just fireball it like you were going to do.
Tried to do the other creature. Josh made a bold other step.
Throw a wrench. In the plans.
Of the DM Woo Hey works for me all.

Thank you. Thank you too.
Hope you guys have a good night and I.
Hope you. Guys enjoyed Part 5 of Secret
Invasion. Hey, guys.
Yeah, we saved her. Seriously though.
That would have been really. Because there's.
Really not a good way to like secure that and you probably
would have gotten hit because while these things move slow and
have a slow AC and only attack once is a very high plus to hit.
Thanks, Justin Credit. When I needed shit.
Yeah, look. Nice job.
All right. Thank you, everyone.
