Yes, thank you. I couldn't do it forcefully
enough. So delicate.
All of my strength has left me.
Oh it's OK, we still love you even even though you're weak.
Well, yeah, you know, before this I was really strong, strong
arrow and. A strong arrow.
Strong. And woodsy and hinged strong
woodsy arrow. They were so powerful.
They were. It's really sad.
But we must. We must grieve them.
And one time, one time I slapped strong arrow on the back.
And then they turned around and they swatted me into the ocean
because they thought I was a mosquito.
Yeah, I remember that. That too.
They were like, oh, that tickled.
Yeah. Yeah, that was really, that was
really good. That was a fun.
Time I nearly drowned. Yeah, well, maybe you deserved
it. Oh, I should put my phone in
here. Oh.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, man, when I get stressed
out I forget every object and everything, you know what I
mean? Oh yeah, like.
I just like cannot have object permanence which I already
struggle with but when I get anxious or stressed it's like
Nope times 500 baby and people get mad at you and you're like I
can't remember anything. We're not mad at you, I know
you're not, but I just feel like.
I mean, I we're not. I am, all right.
Oh. That's.
Fair, but, but only but for reasons that I'll never tell
you. Wow, yeah.
Are you mad about the time that I bench pressed you into an atom
with my raw animal strength? Because I thought we already
talked about this and you were over it.
I'm not. I'm not going to tell you why
I'm mad at you. It's just never difficult.
I'm just kidding, getting that sense that Cat doesn't like
being an Atom anymore. Like, I'm sorry that I crushed
your newborn infant child to death with my powerful thigh
muscles. But I thought we all agreed that
it was a silly prank and that it was worth it.
Well, I think it's mostly just that it's really hard to keep
track of Cat now that she's an Atom.
And so we I thought she liked that.
Well, you know, I mean, sometimes it was I supposed to
know. Sometimes you like something to
start with and then you realize maybe it's actually really
inconvenient and makes life difficult for you and everyone
around. Well, I don't really see how
that's my fault or my problem. I'm just saying maybe there's a
reason because you're the one that did it, so maybe there's a
reason that's making sense. Errol is not here anymore.
You guys mean there's a reason that we've all been poisoning
Errol? So I had to.
Make them weaker. I fucking.
Knew it, you guys. It's none of those things, but
I'll never tell you what it is. Damn.
Shit, I'm just mad at you, Errol, and I'll never tell you
why. Oh.
Damn, and that seems reasonable. Let's play D&D.
Hi, my name is Kat and I'm your DM.
I'm Noel, and always I want to make believe with you.
I'm Juniper. I play Fran.
I don't play Fran. I play Fran.
Oh, I see. What?
You you were just interrupting me.
Yeah, I just was interrupting you.
So I thought you'd like it. Please donate to my GoFundMe.
Oh Oh yeah, because I'm have making a GoFundMe to keep Errol
weekend. It's for, it's.
For a? Really.
Good 'cause that is mine so thank you if.
We can make Errol weak enough. I will no longer be an atom.
Yeah. Exactly, don't get your hopes
up, that's all I'm saying. Well please donate.
The more money you give us, the weaker Errol gets, because the
more money we can use to buy poison.
I told you guys to stop doing that.
Well, we're not going to. We won't do it.
You just watch your backs. There's going to be two more
atoms floating around. Introduce yourself.
Strong arrow. I don't need to introduce
myself. I let my muscles do the talking
and I play slake. OK, so last time you guys
escaped from the underground battlefield after your
reinforcements arrived. So now you've got orcs, Estrin's
and the dwarf and resistance fighting the undead army that
almost killed you. Sam, Slash, Night Blade, Celni,
and Slake's mentor Namavi were all among them.
In order to escape that battlefield, you dove into a
grate and ended up in a sewer, where you navigated towards the
Tida Cairn, which is where Torva is.
Just before you guys went up, you had a nice emotional speech.
It was lovely, and Mary gave you guys a big, big heal, giving you
the effects of a long rest before you head into this
battle. Then you guys met some tied to
Karen guards and you manipulated them even though they weren't
really trying to get in your way.
But they got out of your way, so tasks succeeded and you then
approached Torva by hopping into these industrial drums that were
ascending up towards his lair. Mary volunteered to go first so
she could throw up a shield to protect you guys if needed.
However, when you all raised up higher, you realize that Mary
was attacked by V, the child God Corbin.
You then call Torva a fresh asshole and then turned into a
giant scorpion to throw him off. Yeah, so that's where we are
now. Torva is at the top of an
assortment of moving platforms. The spectre of his completed
flesh dragon hangs from the ceiling behind him.
Mary is on one of the lower platforms, prone, clutching her
chest next to V, the child's God.
You all are still ascending in your drums.
Scorpion Corbin is in the highest drum, and then Fran, who
is hiding and then slake. And now it's time to roll
initiative. I have a 20 OK 13.
OK. 5. OK, so the order is Torva, Fran,
Secret Surprise, Corbin, and then Slake.
And Corbin at the top with the surprise and of being fucking
weird. Yep.
And Corbin, I will give you a surprise round because yeah, you
did catch him off balance. You.
Did do something crazy not? Necessarily turning into a
scorpion. I think he did expect that, but
I think all of the words that preceded it.
I don't know why they throw someone off.
I know I don't. Either.
I just get confused. Like I think that makes complete
sense. Clearly he doesn't know us very
well. OK.
Well, he underestimated us again.
Once again, idiot. I mean, that's truly been his
folly this entire time. All right, Corbin, you will take
a surprise round on Torva. So how do you do as a?
As a scorpy man, I'm going to perform a multi attack against
him all right, and two of those attacks are grapple attacks.
OK, so I want to get him nice and still for Fran if possible.
So I'm going to 1st I'm going to use my movement and I'm going to
kind of circle around so that he's focusing on me.
I have to make. A.
Melee weapon attack with my Cleowa.
With your what? My claw.
My Cleowa. You're.
Clewa. My clewa, don't say that with my
cloaca. I'm going to grab him.
You cannot say that. That's my asshole.
I fucking. I love it.
I wish I could say that to him. OK, that.
Oh hell yeah, that's. I can't speak because I'm a
scorpion. It's a 23 to hit. 23 to hit.
OK, that'll hit, yes. What does the grapple need to
roll? I assume he gets to resist being
grappled. Yeah, it says escape DC is 12,
but it doesn't say that like they get to roll, I would their
turn. I would like to assume on his
turn he can escape. OK.
I'll roll for that. When?
When it's this, yeah. The scorpion has two claws, each
of which can grapple only one target, but it is a multi attack
so I get to do that actually twice.
OK is the child within range? No, OK, well, so he's grappled
in my 1 claw. OK.
And then I'm just going to can I just use the second claw attack
but on him just to as a as a hit.
Yeah, OK. Yeah, yeah, just to see.
I don't think that was going to do it.
That's 12. No, that does not.
Yeah, OK. I don't think so. 1D8.
So that's six damage for Torva, please and thank you.
And then I also get to use my sting attack.
OK, hit three attacks. Wow.
Yeah, that's why I picked this guy.
I I specifically looked up animals that like with the best
ones for stuff like this. I looked up the best animals and
it said giant scorpion. OK, this one's not gonna, this
one's not gonna hit either. That's like a nine.
OK, that's not hit. Nope.
But I got him fucking grappled, so that's all I care.
Do got him grappled. Now it is Torva's turn and he is
going to resist being grappled, and that is 16 total.
I think it was 12. It was 12.
You grab him in your pincers and he just sort of laughs at you as
you grab him up in one of your claws and he puts a hand on the
edge of one of these razor sharp claws and golden blood just
seeps out of his hand as he shoves out and gets out of your
grapple. And then he speaks a word that
you do not hear as sound. You hear it as pain as he speaks
Power, word pain, and you are just overwhelmed by a pain that
racks every inch of your scorpion body.
While the target is affected by crippling pain, any speed it has
can be no higher than 10 feet. You can't move more than 10
feet. Target has disadvantage on
attack rules, ability checks, saving throws other than
Constitution saving throws. Finally, if the target tries to
cast a spell, it must first succeed on a Constitution saving
throw or the casting fails and the spell is wasted.
You can now make a Constitution saving throughout the end of
your turn, but right now you are just in crippling pain.
So that's his turn, Fran. You're up.
OK, so Fran is a little hidden rogue in her little basket, and
I'm assuming that Torva has kind of like turned to deal with
Corbin, right? I'm going to say because he's
busy with Corbin, I'm not going to make you make another self
check. OK, so Fran pulls out her gun
and cocks it and is going to shoot from cover as much as
possible with the Kostra bullets.
And you're going to sneak attack.
And I'm going to sneak attack and that is going to be 21.
That does hit. Hey, whoa.
Hell yeah. Oh my God, Fran does that, and
then she immediately ducks back down after I assume something
dramatic happens. Cat.
Yeah. Where does it hit him?
It hits him. I would say it hits him like in
just the center of his back. And now he staggers forward a
little bit and he looks Corbin. You can see through your many
faceted scorpion eyes as you are in just incredible pain.
You see just a flicker of it, but it looks like he is also in
pain. Ha.
And he just starts laughing. He says finally something
fucking interesting has happened.
It's only taken up millennia. And from somewhere that he
doesn't know, in this room, he hears fuck.
Off Torva. OK, now it's time for his layer
action. Layer.
Action. That sounds great.
That sounds really good 'cause. He's in his fucking layer.
'Cause he's in his fucking layer, yeah, he is going to
rearrange platforms and. What the fuck?
So here I didn't show you guys this.
Super Mario ass. Yeah, The area around you,
you're on like all these mechanical platforms, There are
seven platforms up here. They're all sort of staggered at
different levels. And he is going to move the
lowest platform where he and Corbin, along with Mary and V
are all on. He's going to move that up to
the top of the heap, which means now that your buckets, your
pulleys, Fran and Slake, they are going to deposit you on one
of the platforms that is below the rest of them.
I have a question. Yes.
Do we see how Torva controls this mechanism?
With magic. So that is his layer action.
Corbin, it's on you again. Oh OK, yeah, you had your
surprise round. Now you are in incredible amount
of pain. Right.
And I have to make a Constitution saving throw to
like get out of that. Is that how that works?
Yeah. OK, what's the DC check for the?
For the saving throw, yeah, 15, OK.
And that will be at the end of your turn.
So whatever action you make, you're going to have to battle
through the spell right now. So I'm just going to try to use
multi attack again on him and I'm screeching like those dead
bugs in Starship trip here, OK? Well, hold on, it's going to be
sonically horrible. Yeah, get ready guys.
I love those bugs. Really bad.
Good, he didn't like. That sorry nobody liked it.
It was bad. I mean, I did think it was
pretty good. Thank you.
Like it.
Hey, thank you, guys. Thanks.
OK, let's do this. I liked it.
OK, so my first attack is going to be in another claw attack.
First role was a 2. So I don't think we're I don't
think we're off to a good start here.
OK yeah, that one doesn't hit. No, my second attack is also a
claw attack. OK, another two boys.
You're mean. You're in a lot of pain.
I'm just kind of mad about that. That was a Nat 20, so that's
really mean. Yeah, and I play disadvantage.
And then my third attack is my Stinger.
Should I switch to a different dice, do you think?
Go for it. No, I don't want yours, Errol.
Sorry. This one's Noel's.
I just haven't. No, I'm gonna use this 10 just
'cause I touched it. We're moving up in the world,
boys. That's a three.
I guess you could have borrowed a dice.
For me, no it's OK so I don't hit him at all, but I do flail
around on the ground a lot. Yeah, now, Corbin, you flail
wildly. And now I get to do my
Constitution saving throw. Don't worry, you used up all
your twos and threes. Shut up because I might fucking
not have. Where'd you roll?
3 3. All right, No, Corbin.
Me, Corbin. You just flail wildly on the
ground as a scorpion, and yeah, you continue to be in a lot of
pain. Great.
All right, Flake, you're up. OK, can I use a free action to
telepathically talk with Fran? You can always use a free action
to talk. OK, I will telepathically
connect with Fran and I'll say I, I, I mean, I, I feel like
maybe I should, should protect Corbin from Torva, but one of us
should deal with whatever V is doing to marry.
Uh huh, Fran says. OK, Fran, look, I'll I'll go
help Corbin and then when you get here, you can help Mary,
right? Fran says.
Fran's going to be there first. Oh.
She's coming out of the bucket first.
You're right. Well, she for went getting out
of the bucket to make a make a stealth attack from the bucket.
Does she have to go all the way down the ski lift and come back
up? Now, or she makes a daring leap
from the top of it. OK, well I want to flank Torva
since Corbin is on one side of him.
So you are coming up on a different part of the platform?
You're right. Because he moved to the
platforms, yes. So you are coming up on a lower
platform? You're right.
OK, I get out onto the lower platform I guess, since there's
probably no way of like traversing from the bucket to a
higher one, and then could I climb using my picks up to where
Corbin and Torva are? Yeah, I would say they're
probably, yeah, 30 feet up in the air.
So it would take you till the next.
So I think what I'm going to do is since I can't land near
Corbin and Torva, I want to take my whole action to dash so that
I can climb up and get to where they are, so at least I can try
to flank and absorb some damage. OK, yeah, you won't be able to
flank this turn, but you will get to the top of the platform
this turn. OK, I get up to where Torva is
and I say. Leave him alone.
All right, with that, it is Torva's turn again, and he's not
going to leave Corbin alone. In fact, he is going to make his
attacks with his warhammer, which has appeared in his hand.
Yeah, squish me like a little bird.
No. Yeah, your.
Guts are going to be everywhere. Yeah, they are.
That first one's a natural 20. Well, yeah, that hits Cat.
Yeah, that hits. You don't want a natural 20.
Second one is a 22. I'm I'm a scorpion, so I can eat
damage, right? Yeah, that's how that.
Works, yeah. Second one's a 20.
Two. Yeah.
And the last one is only a 13 that one.
Doesn't fucking hit, so get get fucked.
It's a good. It's a good, It's a good good.
Little bug. It's a good little bug.
OK, so he is going to make each of those attacks aren't going to
hurt? Well, I'm already in
excruciating pain so. That's true actually.
They they don't hurt as much as you think they're going to
because everything else hurts so much more.
That is going to be a 24 damage for the first one.
That was the double damage. OK.
So that is going to be on the second one that is 22 damage, so
24 and 22 damage. Wow.
OK, well guess what? Uh huh, I'm still a scorpion.
Really. Damn.
Yeah, dude. Well done.
Barely. Barely.
But yeah, so he brings down his warhammer once and then twice
cracking your hard carapace. Yeah, my carapace cracks and
like some squeegee guts come out.
But on his third strike, you are just flailing around and he
misses. On his third strike, that is
Torvis turn. Now it is Fran.
OK, so I'm still in the bucket. I'm rising up.
How far up does this thing go? I would say it goes up maybe
another 10 feet from where like the top of the platform was.
And then what? Started going back down.
And then what happens is the bucket kind of flips over and it
goes back down. I think I'm going to stay in the
bucket zone for now, OK? I mean, how long is it going to
take me to get up there? Like how many turns?
If you can do what Slike did one turn.
Well, no, no, no, I mean like, I mean like how fast is the bucket
moving? Oh, oh, the bucket is moving.
I would say like not that fast. I would say if you're just going
to stick in the bucket and try and make it up to the next
platform, which I think you know what, I think you can, if you
want to do that, you can make it up to that platform, but it will
take another turn out. But you could shoot with your
gun again. I don't need to shoot with my
gun. What?
I have magic. So what Fran is going to do is
she's going to hunk her down in her little bucket for now and
she's going to hope to God that she can hold on when it turns
over. But you know, she might be able
to. She has an acrobatics things
going on. Or that I'll jump out before
then. Anyways, Fran's going to stick
in her bucket and she is going to cast Conjure Elemental.
How far is Mary from me? 40 feet.
OK, great. I mean, it has conjure elemental
to whatever side of Mary is like, closest to the wall, which
I assume is made of stone. Yeah.
All right. And I'm going to conjure my new
best friend. RIP to Barlgura.
Barlgura is not my friend anymore.
My new best friend is. I forgot his name.
Isn't it Zorg? It's something like Zorp.
It's Zorn. Zorn, Zorn.
Zorn. Zorn.
Zorn is my new best friend. Zorn.
All right, so tell me about Zorn.
Yeah, I'm gonna. I just get it.
So the wall nearest to Mary and and on her platform seems to
turn to magma and it like heats up yellow and black and it
slowly oozes out and becomes a creature with three legs 3 arms
and in the middle of its three arms a big ol toothy cloaca.
Yeah. Dawn.
And at the bottom of the opening there's an eyeball.
Yes, I. I love.
I. Zorn dating game Zorn dating
game way. I love Zorn, but I might have
described it as a mouse. No, it's a cloaca.
Look at it, It's clearly that. I mean, there's no holding the
side. Anyway, so Zorn has arrived.
I'm going to have my sweet Zorn multi attack the fuck out of the
child and try and gulp it up. OK, Oh my.
God. All right, so Zorn.
Oh, he has three claw attacks, one bite attack.
OK, first one's 21. That does not hit.
Second one's 22. That does not hit my.
God. 20 doesn't hit and 20 doesn't hit.
No what? The hell we gotta grab the
rhythm. So does this mean that the child
has a higher armor class? Armor class.
Yes it does Jesus. If you want to know the
mechanics is because they are protected by the parents love.
Never protected me. This is the platonic ideal of a
child that is protected by the platonic ideal of a parent.
Boo Zorn is trying to slash and I'm assuming this little child
is. Does the child try to dodge or
does the child just like? The child just sort of like it's
less like the child dodges, the child stays exactly still, and
yet somehow none of the attacks hit.
All right, So yeah, Zorn does not hit the child.
Jesus. Well, Zorn's out there doing his
best. Thank you, Zorn, for your
sacrifice. Fran hides again.
OK Fran, you're hiding, you're waiting.
And now Torvic is to take another layer action.
He is going to use his layer action to cast dominate person
on Fran. What the fuck can?
He do that when he doesn't know where I am.
Yeah, as long as you're on the same plane of existence.
Wow. What the fuck?
Yeah, so please make me a wisdom save Fran.
OK, do that. OK, so that's. 17.
Meets it, beats it. I'm not dominated.
You are not dominated this time, so you are not dominated, Fran.
All right. What do I feel?
You feel like a a tendrils grasping at your mind, but you
are able to harden your mind and with the power of friendship.
Oh my God, my stepmom can't control me.
Yep, and she she. No, she.
Listen, Torva, he was a she to me.
He was a she to her. Yeah.
The gods all pretty universally do not fuck with gender.
They don't care. They.
Do not care, they will just take anybody and make it the gender
they want. Fran, you feel these tendrils
grasping at your mind, but they do not find purchase.
The telepathic link to your friends is too strong.
Hell yeah. Power, friendship.
Hell yeah Bitch, he doesn't even know what a heart is.
No. All right, Corbin, it's your
turn and you are still in incredible pain.
Yeah I am. I'm going to do my multi attack
again with disadvantage. It's an 18.
That hits. And wouldn't you know it?
Oh, that's a 10. OK, wait, hold on, hold.
On Oh, wait, wait, wait. You're right, Yeah.
So that's it. So I got a 12 with disadvantage
which is so much. Better than last time.
Yeah, I know it doesn't hit, but that's so much better than this.
That was a 5 and a 16 which also the five does not hit.
No. 12 and a 13 No 12 would be +2.
So that's 14 that doesn't hit. No.
OK. And then I get to make the
Constitution saving throw, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So 3 Okay, all right, Flake,
it's you. Well, first of all, I want to
try and flank Torba with Corbin, so I'll approach him and then I
am going to go ahead and I'm going to try to do a trip
attack. So let me just roll.
First one to hit is 24. That'll hit.
Immediately I use my pick to like grab his ankle and like try
and trip him. Trip him.
OK, So what does he need to do? You add the superiority die to
the damage roll, and if the target is large or smaller, it
must make a Strength saving throw.
On a failed save, you knock the target prone.
OK, yeah, I guess I'll roll damage first.
Yeah, roll damage on that attack.
OK so if I add my superiority died then the total damage for
that first attack is 13? 13 OK perfect.
And he got a 20 on his saving throw.
OK, damn, I didn't knock him prone, but on the bright side, I
still have five more maneuvers left, so he said.
Screw. Sorry, what about the next one?
I still have four more maneuvers left, right, right.
Yep, Yep. OK, well I'm just going to try
to keep wailing on him then. OK, keep wailing.
OK, that's going to be 26 to hit.
That'll hit awesome. Let's just see if you hit on the
next one. That is going to be 15 to hit.
Does not hit. And then I get one bonus action
for my multi weapon fighting. OK, 18 to hit.
That hits. OK, so that is 9:00 and 8:00 and
seven and I remember that I was flanking.
You were, You're right. So why don't you take that one
that you missed? Give me an advantage.
Well, I rolled an 8, but with my modifier that goes up to 19.
So Jesus, you attacked 11? Yeah.
Wow, yeah, that'll hit. I mean fighter, all right.
That's what you're good at. OK.
Since I have advantage, that's four attacks that hit OK, and
the total damage would be 32. 32 All right now it is back to
Torvis turn and he is going to cast another spell.
He is going to cast. Such a magic boy.
It's almost like he's a God. Yeah, I know, but like, he's so
magicky. He is going to cast Cloud of
Daggers and he is going to cast it right on fucking top of you,
Slake. OK.
Fun. It's like that meme.
And I'm protecting Corbin. Yeah, Dagger rain.
Yep. So that is going to be No, you
do not get to resist this. Isn't that fun?
You are going to take 31 slashing damage as you are just
torn apart by daggers. He basically just like he barely
even looks at you slake. He just sort of like sticks out
at hand and you are just hit by a cloud of daggers that just
tear into you. I'm glad I'm wearing heavy
armor. Yeah, so you will take 10D4
slashing damage when you enter the bells area for the first
time or start your turn there, so.
That little guy will just like, hang out for a little bit.
Yeah, he'll hang out for a bit. Really goofs up my flanking.
Is it cat? It is five feet on each side, so
exactly the amount of size that a medium creature takes off.
Okay. All right, Fran and Zorn, time
for you guys. Brandon Zorn.
Brandon Zorn, Brandon Zorn. Brandon.
Thank you, guys. All right, I wanna try to.
Thorn. I think it'd be a good like it's
a Saturday morning cartoon. Brandon Zorn.
That actually does sound it
sounds like a it sounds like a Cartoon Network.
Yeah, show. All right.
I think what I want to do is I want to try and ice spear the
child cuz it's you don't have to justify.
It's a dex throw, not a that's smart.
Not an attack. OK, and I want to cast it at a
higher level. Oh, OK, hey, what's the next
throw? 16. 16 We're good.
OK. Oh yeah, that's 51 damage.
Oh my God. Damage.
Or it would be if they were not protected by the child's love.
It is in fact. Would that be 25 damage rounding
down? So they get half damage on
everything? Yeah.
Do they react to being stabbed with an ice beer?
They do they as it like shatters around them.
They look up at you with the saddest puppy dog, child dies.
When I scream down I'm going to kill you kid.
And then I I hide. And when you say that, like when
you say that, the puppy dog look just absolutely drops from their
face and they just look like absolutely dead.
Yeah, cool. Does Mary seem like does she
react at all from the kid being distracted?
She sort of is able to like, struggle to her feet a bit and
then as the child's attention goes back to her, she is forced
back. Where am I in terms of my
position now? You are now at the top of the
pulley system and Fran, please make me an acrobatics check.
I will. I will do this acrobatics check.
Am I doing it to hold on to my bucket though?
Or am I doing it to get onto the platform?
That is on you. Yeah, I'm just debating if I
want to just stay and be in my little merry cup go round.
I'm going to stay in the cups. All right, so make me a, I'm
going to say this is going to be you're, you're not that strong.
No, but I am dexterous. But you are dexterous.
I've gotten more dexterous lately.
And it is covered in a slime, so if you want to do this I'm going
to set it at ADC 16. I bet I could push the child off
the platform. You can try.
You can try it bitch. I got a 15.
You got a 15 and so close. Damn.
No, but no. Instead, Fran, you are going to
slip from the cut. I can cast feather falls a
reaction. OK, that you're going to cast
feather fall, but you are feather falling down, straight
down. Back into the, back into the.
Down towards the zombie horde and the battle raging on below.
Can I like use my reaction to try and like change the momentum
of my fall so that I'm kind of falling towards the platforms
instead of falling straight down?
Yeah, but since you are foregoing your reaction to to
gas feather fall, you'll take some damage when you hit the
ground. But I do like do a lot of roles
but I get really bruised everywhere that I roll.
But like, it looks kind of cool. Yeah, you manage.
You don't. You don't pancake, splat down
because you were so close. You were so close to making
that. You don't pancake, splat down.
But yeah, you hit and you roll and you are prone and you are
going to take a cool 6 damage. OK, and now it's Zorn's turn.
I'm going to have Zorn use his beautiful earthly magics and
movement to just step backwards and melt like butter into the
wall and then move around the child and then come out.
Oh my God, where Dorv is. Because you guys are in sort of
a big open cave. It's not like it's an enclosed
room. I would say like.
To jump. Yeah, you guys.
They're not there against the wall.
Yeah, there's a. Wall behind you so to get around
through the wall I guess he would have to come in from the
top and probably take some a little fall damage I.
Don't care about that. Yeah, he loves to take fall
damage. He's Zorn.
Fall damage is his favorite.
Everyone knows this about Zorn. Everybody knows I'm Zorn.
Of course I love fall damage. I love it.
OK, so he takes how much fall damage?
Let's find out. Also takes a cool 6.
OK, and then I'm going to have Zorn instead use his multi
attack on Torva. OK nice.
Also he didn't disturb the stone.
It's sustainable. So I just want you.
To know that, OK. It's actually sustainable.
That's so good. Wow.
And he gets. Advantage now he does because
Torva is now being triple flanked.
Bitch Torva, eat my beautiful fresh air.
Tasty. So I don't think the first one
hits. That's 15.
That's not hit. Second one is 19 that will hit.
Okay. He's just gonna do 6 slashing
damage with a bite. Okay, that was the third claw he
missed, and then let's see. Bite.
Yeah, you're old. So good against the stupid.
You stupid child that has stupid.
OK. And then the last one is 21 to
hit. Yeah.
That'll hit hit. Thorn bursts out of the wall.
Like the Kool-aid Man. Like the kool-aid man without
saying Oh yeah but he does kind of go and there's a zorn shaped
hole that quickly closes out behind him because it is
sustainable and he doesn't disturb the rock when he moves
through it. And he comes out at Torva just
claws blazing and strikes with his three claws, misses twice as
he lands painfully and then bites on Torva's shoulder with
his huge. Cloaca.
For how? Much his shoulder and overall
with one hit and one bite he does 19 damage.
Nice damn. OK.
All right. You're crazy Zorn.
I love Zorn dude Zorn is amazing.
I know can you can eat your fresh ass.
Tasty. We have to make T-shirts that
they eat. My fresh ass take the note on
the back it says tasty. Different font.
I love this. This is great merch opportunity.
Yes, people will love to wear those.
OK, well now Torva gets to make another layer action.
Stupid. Torva Release is one of the
waste bats that are scattered around and above the platform,
covering a 30 foot cone in a toxic sludge that makes terrain
difficult. Any creature which starts its
turn in the sludge will need to make ADC 14 Constitution saving
Thrill. So I'm now in daggers and
sludge. Daggers and you're in sludge.
Hate that. And now it's Corbin's turn, and
he's also in the sludge. And it's also on, it's also on
Torva, Yeah. Can we see anything or are we
just like on a massive sludge, not a continuous sludge, he
just. Released one VAT and you just
kind of got covered in it. Yeah, you've got Kong.
Why is he literally? Donkey Kong, why is he using
barrels? So did Cat.
Did you say that the goo did damage to us at all or is it
just because you start your turn in it?
It does. Please Corbin make a
constitution save if I if I get this.
Constitution saving throw, and I don't get the one that I
actually really want. I'm going to be kind of mad.
You're going to need to make a couple.
Saving throw here I need a sit up.
Can't do this. OK, I'm going to try to use my
tiny dice, OK? That is. 16 All right, that'll
do it. You're not.
Poisoned by the sledge, but you are in difficult terrain and
then I need to do. My multi attack with a
disadvantage rule Yeah let's. Just get those out of the way.
That's a 6 + 4. OK, Yeah.
So that was a 10. Yeah, 20 and another.
Ten, Yeah. 15 is the highest one.
For that, no, no, no, no, never tax it.
None. Of your tax it all right so now
my constitution. 'S saved now your constitution.
Which? Is. 18 you've.
Managed to shake. Off the pain, Corbin.
Finally, yes. You shake.
My body is broken and shattered but I don't feel any of it
actually. What it is, Corbin?
Is you shake off like this incredible amount of pain, the
blinding pain that you've been in, and then you feel all of the
other, the actual pain, the actual, but you know what that
pain isn't? Debilitating to me so I can deal
with it. You can deal.
With it, All right, Flake, you are up.
You are actually are going to take another big chunk of damage
here because you're starting your turn within a dagger cloud.
Yeah. You are if I stay in this area.
The sludge is going to continue to hurt me, right?
The sludge will hurt you. And the daggers.
The daggers will hurt you. I was thinking about using this.
Turn to disengage and actually to go and try and fight the
child instead because I think my attack might be high, high
enough to push the 'cause I have a pushing attack.
True, I might have a chance at that.
So I think for this turn what I'm going to do is I'm not going
to do 2 weapon fighting and I am going to use my gloves of
missile snaring to try and reduce the damage from the
dagger rain attack. OK so when a range attack hits
me while I'm wearing them, I can use my reaction to reduce the
damage by 1D10 plus my dexterity modifier.
OK so 9 + 2 so it's going to reduce it by 11 damage.
OK, so you only. Take 15 damage, OK, and then.
What I would like to do, since that was a reaction, what I'd
like to do is my action. If I use my action to disengage
and move, then I don't have to take opportunity attack.
Is that right? Correct.
Then I'm going to do that because I would like to try and
approach the child instead. OK, I'm going to say because.
You're now in difficult terrain due to the sludge.
Yeah, you are not going to be able to get to them on this
turn. That's fine.
Yeah, my movement speed is. 30 So yeah, you you can move 15
feet. OK, sounds good.
Yep. You're getting close to them.
You're. Not very far from them, but
yeah, next turn you'll be able to approach an attack.
All right. OK, now it's time for another
fortune roll, my friends. Oh.
Gosh, all right, so while. All this has been happening.
Phelan and his double have been busy attempting to tear each
other to shreds. They move too fast for the eye
to track, but you catch glimpses of their conflict as they slip
between this world and the void. You see Phelan teleport onto a
roof and Phelan appear behind him to deliver a blow.
But Phelan knew he would be there.
Of course he would, because they are the same person.
He's fighting himself, he spins around to block the blow but is
pushed back by the force flying off the roof but throwing a
dagger as he goes and vanishing mid air.
The dagger flies true but hits nothing as Follin vanishes too.
The two of them meet again on a rocky outcrop near the ceiling
and the process repeats. They're both looking tired now,
running each other ragged, but they are completely evenly
matched and neither can gain the upper hand.
Or can they? Time for a fortune roll, Oh my
God. He wants to make it.
He wants to make it narratively and.
Plus you still get technically. A turn with.
Zorn if you lose your turn. Or at least I have Zorn.
At least we have a Zorn. We'll always have you fail,
yeah. We'll always have Zorn.
Want to make them horribly. Well, then Phelan's going to
die. Nope.
What'd you get? What'd you get?
What shit. Oh, shit.
What is it? You can use a.
Fortune. You can use a fortune.
You got a full OH. Fuck.
Well, you could. You could use a fortune role to
let. Him not be.
Completely killed. Maybe I might.
I may try that. OK, try that.
All right. Let's see if we can push this up
to a success. Yeah, well, you need a six.
Or higher to push. It to a success, yeah.
OK, what'd you get? What'd you get?
I got an 80.
Thank God. Oh, fuck.
Now. Jesus, OK.
We see them like below us. Yeah, you see them below you.
You see them above you, You see them like they're like they're
ziping around. Yeah, they're Voiping around.
It's like Dragon Ball ZA. Little bit.
Yeah, it's except. Instead of, you know, actually
moving too fast for the eye to see, which makes no sense.
They are just teleporting. They're actually teleporting.
They're just. Actually teleporting all.
Right, so that will push you up to a partial success, I believe,
right? Yeah, that's how math works.
OK, so I'm going to read you this and then we can decide how
Fran effects this does Phelan spill out onto a platform where
the Astron Archers and mages are located, rolling as they grapple
and try and bring a dagger up to the other one's neck.
Follen takes advantage of Phelan's momentary distraction
as he tries to steer the two of them away from the Astron and
manages to pin his other half, pressing his forearm into
Phelan's neck and bringing his dagger up so they're they're at.
This point. They would be.
Like below me. Yeah.
And I can see them off the edge of the platform.
Yeah, OK, You know what I think what I'm going to do is?
Fran shoots down an illusion, and her reaction in battle is to
make copies of herself. Her first thought is to make the
Phelan who might get stabbed look exactly like her for a
second. Oh, my God.
That's smart. That's good.
That's sexy. That's sexy, all right.
And that. Splits.
It would have been better if it was a monkey, but.
Not every problem can be solved. With the monkeys.
Or can they? Well, that momentary distraction
is enough to make Follin hesitate, and that is long
enough for Sam to turn just before she steps off the
platform and sees the scene. She's still just a second too
late. Still, she tries, and she throws
Minotine's spear in a desperate attempt to help her brother.
The godly spear sails truer and faster than any arrow, but it
flies high and it only clips Follin's ear.
It's enough with the distraction from Fran to break his focus,
and Phelan manages to buck and topple Olin's balance and roll
both of them off of the platform.
They vanish into the air and reappear, still rolling onto a
nearby rooftop. They separate and the fight
continues, both of them looking more ragged.
OK, so. Good, Phelan isn't fucking
killed. But but Matt Phelan is also not
fucking killed. Yep, and he still isn't able to
help us with Torva. Not yet.
OK, well now we are back up at the top of the order with
Torva's turn. He is going to use and I'm going
to give you guys a second to titter, but he's going to use
Finger of Death excuse. Me not.
My fresh ass. Don't.
You can't say that. I guess that I'm going.
To give you guys this, take your time titter.
Oh my fucking God, he is going to point at.
You Corbin, wow. And he is going to send negative
energy coursing through you vibes.
Negative. The vibes vibes.
Are atrocious. Wretched.
Hey, make me a constitution saving God damn it again.
Yeah, wretched, horrible vibes from his finger.
Yeah, OK, that's as a Scorpion 11.
Oh, that does not succeed. No, you were going to take.
You're gonna take 51 points of damage.
What from? The finger.
The finger of death. 5151. Points Okay, hold on, let me do
some math. So that's actually 45 points of
damage. Yeah, I had six hits, six hit
points left as a scorpion. It's one hit point over half
damage. So that means that you're not
prone? Not prone.
Yeah, your scorpion. Form bursts out around you and
you are left just curled up on the floor in absolute agony and
goo and goo. And you're also rolling in the
goo in the toxic goo. It's you're just a goo guy and
it's horrible. And this is the only time in
your life you've ever not wanted to be A and literally I'm like.
Having an existential crisis on top of the excruciating pain,
it's really tough for me right now.
It's really tough to be. Corbin It's also tough to be
Fran because she doesn't get a turn, but Zorn does.
Zorn. Zorn.
All right, Zorn's going to multi.
Attack Torva. All right, and then I have Zorn
also move towards the side of Torva that is like where the
child is like OK, so that he's kind of like in that zone as he
attacks with many 3 claws and a big cloaca at the juncture in
the Grundle. We got.
One hit, that's 20. Yep, that'll hit Hey and.
Then I got a nap. Honey, that'll also hit and
then. I got 2 that definitely.
Don't hit. OK, so he jumps at Torva and
slashes him with two huge claw attacks, and in fact one of the
times his claws go so deep they kind of get stuck and then he
misses his following two attacks, but he does do 18
damage. OK, now.
Oh, it's toward his layer action.
Yeah, he's going to rearrange the platforms again.
Well, we're mostly on. The one we're all on one.
Oh, that's what you think? I'm mad he.
Can't do this. He can't keep doing this.
He can't keep. Getting away with.
It so for his layer. Action He is going to rearrange
the platforms once again and slake.
As you are moving towards Mary and the child, the platform
under your feet splits apart and he moves that section action of
platform. It whizzes away over to the
other side of this arrangement of platforms.
So they are on the other side of the dragon from you towards the
tail, while you guys are currently towards the head.
And I like stagger. On the edge of it.
And I reach my hand out toward Mary, and then I have to, like,
catch myself. And it's just like Kingdom
Hearts. It's just like Kingdom Hearts.
So that is the layer action. Corbin, you are down, yes, OK,
But I. Might be not out something
you're not out, you're just. You've gotten.
Really. Fucking beat up this time.
You do not usually take this? I don't know.
I'm not usually. As much of A damage boy, but I I
part of it 'cause I really put myself out there, but I do for
that. Thank you.
I was gonna say you should never do that.
Well, actually. That's how you.
Take debt. You don't put yourself out
there. I have a pipe that's right.
Mario, you have that pipe I never thought about.
Pipe beats finger. Pipe beats finger.
And with not in real. Life with that pipe I can cast
misty step as a bonus action among other things Now here's
the thing that's like the kind you play No, no, no, it's a it's
a bubble pipe I. Was picturing.
Donkey Kong tight No, as was I initially cat How far away is
the platform that Mary's on from us?
Like how many feet? I would say the to get all.
The way to the platform she is on, yeah, it's going to be 60
feet, but there are platforms near that you could reach
because it what is it, 30 feet? 30 feet.
OK, so here's my next question. You could get yourself off of
this platform and chew like the platform next to her.
So you'll have to make like a a cool running leap.
OK, No, but here's my next question.
If I use misty step when I land, will I still be prone or can I
be standing? No, you have to use all of your
movement to stand up. OK.
So here's what I'm going to do. Corbin while.
Laying prone. Pulls out his.
Pipe. I'm gonna say.
And he says. I am not.
High enough for this? And then he smokes.
His little pipe and he makes direct eye contact with torva
well, he does this and the nightmare of blunt rotation
Torva and Corbin and then he
disappears all right and he. Reappears. 30 feet away on the
platform that is between Torva and where Mary is.
OK, so he's like halfway to Mary and I still have.
I can still cast a spell. Yeah, because I can still cast a
spell. Well well, does that use your?
Full action to use the pipe. It's a bonus action, the Bony.
It's a Bony. It's a Bony.
It's A. Bony, you can stand up and then.
Cast a spell, smoke weed, stand up, cast.
So yeah, so I smoke weed, I stand up, and then I'm going to
cast a spell, OK. And after casting.
The spell. It's going to be up to you again
whether or not you're going to let me do the thing that I want
to do, the spell that I'm going to cast.
Let me pull it. Up I am going to.
Cast Draconic transformation. It is 1/7 level spell that I
just got today. Oh my God.
And with this spell I transform I with a roar With a roar.
I. Draw on the magic of Dragons and
I transform myself, taking on draconic features.
I don't fully turn into a dragon.
OK, but I have draconic features.
Are you like, a dragon? Born now?
I guess. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I grow scales.
And most importantly, you're a furry.
I get wings. Yep.
Wings giant, leathery. Draconic wings burst forward
from my shoulder blades and I now have a flying speed of 60
feet. What the fuck?
OK, nice. So, so, so flying is going to be
movement. So.
You'll that on your next turn. OK, that's what I was going to
ask you. OK, But still on my next turn
and also now, Torv, I can't fuck with me on these goddamn
platforms. And I'm like, yeah, and you can
save us if we and I can save you guys if you fall to your death.
Very, very, very, very cool. I love it and.
Anyway and. When I'm done.
Doing that, I point at Mary and the child, and I say I'm coming
for you. Guys, all right, it's like you.
Are up. OK, cool.
So I'm still on the platform with Torva, and since Corbin can
now get away from Torva, I think that I How close am I to like
the Dragon's head? It's above us.
Yeah. I mean, you'd have to.
Climb up on it, but I'd say you could reach like the side of its
head this turn and then you'd you'd be climbing if you want to
get up on the hydra's back. So it's like barely above where.
It's like and Torva are Yeah. Oh wow, yeah, I'm thinking that
I can make my way to where the child is by using the dragon as
a bridge. So yeah.
And I've already disengaged, so I think maybe I'll use my full
movement to dash so that I can try and get as close to Mary as
possible. You can climb up so.
You can make it. I'd say about halfway there.
All right then Corbin are both halfway there.
Cool. Get up on the Hydra's back flake
every day. Every day.
All right, now it's time for another fortune roll.
God, as below you. The battle rages on.
Sam hits the around with the rest of the Estrin troops.
She holds up a hand as she does, and Minotine Spear zips back
into her grasp. She is a terror in the melee,
carving a whirling path of carnage through the undead
horde. She's turning the tide, mowing
down the dead even as Tidochair and soldiers summon more zombies
from the corpse piles in the workshops.
Then suddenly she comes to a halt.
The force that. Powers.
Her pulling on her reins hard, she grits her teeth and
struggles to push forwards, managing to dodge a swing of a
Titan Karen axe just in time. She's forced to her knees,
panting and clawing at the ground as she struggles to
regain control. Make me a fortune Roll.
Oh, that is a failure. So I'm going to give up my turn.
And roll AD 10 to try and get a better result.
That's exactly A6. That is exactly.
A6 pushing that from a fuck. Failure to a.
Success, just just barely. The Estrins form up around Sam
as she goes down, unsure as to what is happening but knowing
that they need to protect her until she gets back up.
Sam screams and digs her fingers into the bloody earth.
I'm not yours, she screams. I'm mine, I'm me.
I decide who I fight. Her hand moves to her spear
again, inch by agonizing inch, until she has it again in a
white knuckle grip. Another scream rips from her,
deep and primal, and she uses the spear to get back to her
feet. But then her eyes glaze over
again as she pulls the spear back to find a target.
Corbin, how do you help her? OK, so I think what I want.
To do, it's kind of meta. My thought was that I could see
if Pavia can put the part of her mind that has been taken over to
sleep. All right.
Yeah, you could say a prayer. To Pavia.
OK, yeah, that's what I do. Corbin sees what's happening,
and he says a prayer to Pavia and asks her to put the part of
Sam's mind that has been taken over by the forces into the
deepest imaginable sleep, so that the only part of her that's
left is the part that's her. All right, and.
This seems to shake whatever grip is holding her and she
throws the spear and it finds the chest of a Taiticarean
soldier, but then she is down again, struggling to regain her
control. After a moment she manages to
recall the spear and she struggles again to get back up
half the weapon throw. The zombies press in at the
circle of Estrin's and orcs, but they managed to keep her safe as
she continues to pick off zombies.
All right, so now we are back up at the top of the order with
Torva. He's gonna leave Zorn.
He is going to take the attack of opportunity from Zorn.
It's OK so. Zorn gets to bite him, Yep.
Kill him to bite him. Yep.
Oh, not. 20. All right.
Zorn bites him so hard with his huge gut and he does yeah, 26
damage. Is that double damage?
Yeah yeah, double damage with it.
Cheese because. He doesn't get to.
Multi attack he just gets to attack.
Just gets one attack. Yep, all.
Right. And Torvid just shrugs it off.
Does he like it? I mean, he clearly doesn't like.
It you see him sort of grimace and bare his black teeth, but
then he just sort of shrugs it off as he is going to jump down
towards our girl friend. No, no.
No, Yeah, yeah, he doesn't Cat. Yeah, but he does not care.
About Zorn, and you're right there.
Zorn is his mortal. Enemy.
He's a natural enemy. Hereditary.
Zorns and Torvas are always at each other's necks, and we know
that that was Chloe. I know they're both.
Alpha males in the. Same area they have to fight the
death cat. Considering whether she wants.
To kill me. Yeah, she out right dude?
Yeah, she fucking is. Fucked up?
No. No.
OK. Stepdaughter.
Torva, you can't. That's that's my stepmom.
She's going to kill me. Yeah.
So Torva lands. In front of you, friend.
You're still prone, aren't you? Have you gotten up?
Oh, I haven't had a turn in. On no, yeah, you're still prone.
So he is going to attack with his warhammer with advantage and
so he looks down at you Fran, and he's sighs and says well you
wouldn't be the first child of mine that I've killed and he is
going to attack you with his warhammer and it's very scary.
OK, that is going. To be a 20 I'm immune to
warhammers, but. Not natural, gentlemen.
I did you know I'm still. A bit immune to warhammers, so
of course it's not. Probably that's a. 20 that is a
another 20 Wow, not natural, not natural 22 not natural 20s and
the third one is a 24. So he hits you with three three
times with his warhammer. Just for the record, Friend is
immune. To I'm immune to it just
clobbers you. Thorn.
That is going to be. 51 damage as he hits you with all three of
his warhammer attacks. Are you alive?
I'm. Alive.
Bitch, how much all alive are you?
Pretty alive. OK, All right, so.
Fran, now it is time for you to respond to being just absolutely
will so everybody is not around. Me anymore, right?
Yeah, We've all abandoned you. OK, Yeah.
Or rather, it's like. Was up there, but Torva came
down to you. I am going.
To get up on my knees and I pull out my gun.
Hell yeah to use as not a gun but as a spell focus.
Oh nice. Oh.
And. I'm going to blast a beautiful
freezing sphere out of the tip of my gun and I'm going to say
I'm not your fucking child. And he needs to make a
constitution. Saving through You're not my
real mom. Yeah, not my real mom.
Not my real mom. All right, that is a.
Non natural 20. OK, well, he's still going to
take off. Damage as the freezing sphere
explodes into like horrible crystal shards of stabbiness.
What sort of damage does he take?
From that tell me, tell me it will freeze the ooey.
Gooey's up above also just saying oh nice, so they won't be
difficult to train anymore as well.
Or maybe they will be still because now they'll just be a.
Different kind of They don't do damage.
Because you're not getting covered in them.
I don't know. They'll be frozen.
OK, so he's going to take 24 damage.
He is actually starting to look. Worse for wear now.
He's he's been good. He's been shot.
Shot. It seems kind of like the
damage. Is accumulating or piling up on
him in a way that he maybe has not necessarily used to as he is
not healing back the damage with his godly magic.
Now it's Zorn. Tell me about Zorn.
How's Zorn doing? Zorn is going to.
I mean, probably just. Jump down to where you are and
yeah, zorns going to jump. Down and flank Torva with me,
all right. I'm going to have Zorn.
Use multi attack on Torva so. Zorn is going to hit.
With two of his paw attacks and miss with the other two attacks
and so he does 12 damage to Torva as he is just continuing
to rake at his back over and over again.
And now? It is a layer action.
Layer action? No.
Yeah, he is going to use his layer action to release some
spores. What?
OK. He's going to release.
Spores from the dragon up onto you slake since you are up on
the hydra's back and it fills a 20 foot cube with toxic spores.
Each creature in that area must succeed on ADC 15 Constitution
saving throw. So Slake, please make me a
Constitution savings throw. Torva throws out a hand towards
you, Slake, and the back of the dragon where you are running
erupts into spores that cloud the air around you.
Please make me a Constitution savings throw.
Can I have? Advantage because I did just
mention earlier, you know how when I lived in the Red Caves
and I had a little mask or true, you still have your mask.
You do still. Did you leave your mask?
On this entire time. I mean, I didn't.
Say that I took it off maybe? It's like around your neck.
Yeah, it could be around my neck and I could just you can pull it
up, OK. You know what?
I'll give you advantage because. Because you're my friend.
Thank you. OK, first roll.
It's Constitution saving through.
I have really good Constitution saving through.
OK, so the first roll is going to be 1919 that you don't need.
The advantage? You're good.
All right, you. Succeed, but you are going.
To take half damage, so that is going to be 7, you will take 7
poison damage and you are not poisoned because you succeeded.
You're going to take 7 poison damage.
I can deal with that. OK, so that.
Is his layer action and now it is Corbin's turn.
Corbin, you gave up your action and bonus action to help Sam,
but you can still speak Corbin wants.
To yell across the divide at the child.
And he says, hey, kid. You want to be mortal.
You want to grow old? Get to be a big boy, turn into
an adult, get Gray hair, die eventually.
That sound good? The child.
Does not acknowledge you experience the fleeting.
Pleasures of a mortal life and the.
Pain the. Child.
Is holding. Their concentration on Mary,
though you are far too far away to see this, but their eyes do
flick towards you briefly. Corbin All right, Flake, you are
up. You are moving.
You are running across the Dragon's back.
Yes, I'd like to. Continue.
And if I use my regular movement speed, which is 30 feet, could I
get to the child and attack? Yeah.
OK, Hell yeah, that's what I want to do then.
OK, first roll. That's only going to be 17.
Does not hit. Second roll is going to be. 25
does not hit. 3rd roll's under that.
OK, doesn't hit this is. My last.
Roll fuck. OK, Yeah, that's only.
Like 17 that does not hit either, no.
It is so strange like because you know you're aiming correctly
and yet it's just like the child doesn't move and yet none of
your attacks connect. You don't have to fight with.
Torva, we could find a way to help you and this time?
The child does acknowledge you, Slick, and says.
I don't want your help. I want them to suffer behind
you, Slake. Mary uses this momentary
distraction and struggles to get herself up to her knees, still
clutching at her chest. She stares desperately at Vee,
her eyes filling with golden tears that spill stains down to
her cheeks. Why?
She signs. Why do you want them to suffer?
Vee's small face. Just recoils in disgust.
Do you know how awful it is to watch all your siblings grow old
and then live countless years beyond that?
Never growing up, always under the thumb of your parent?
We'll never see you as an adult because you aren't.
It's hell and I'm done with it and they deserve to suffer for
what they've done to all of us. And.
Mary Pants. Hard and signs there has to be
another way it's like. Tell them we're going to.
Find another way and vee. Shakes their head.
I spent thousands of years looking for another way.
There's only this one. And then you're not going to
ruin it. Please make me a fortune.
Roll, Slake. You're the one here.
Nice. Night.
That's a. 16 That's a 16 we. Had to get a good.
Fortune roll eventually, This time, This time, OK.
Let me see a fortune roll out of 16.
Can I still sacrifice my? Next turn you could if you want.
To make that a because The thing is, I can't.
Seem to do any damage to the child yeah draw AD 10 you just.
Need to roll A2 or above. Wait, a zero is A10?
That's a 10. Yeah, total success.
Total. Success.
OK. Mary takes several deep breaths,
focusing inward, looking for the part of herself that still
belongs to V, and then slowly, carefully, she puts her hand
into her own chest and her fingers curl around the Locket.
There. You can see it outlined there in
gold, as if by an X-ray, and she clutches it tightly, these
screams and steps forward, trying to exert their will over
the small piece of themselves that is part of Mary.
But it's like, how do you help in this moment?
So I see the. Child staring Mary down and I
run up as if to attack and I reach my hand out right in front
of their face and snatch it back very quickly and the child
flinches as. They they are always expecting
that any attack against them is going to miss, but this wasn't
an attack and they don't quite know what to do.
And I'm in a Crouch. Position and I turn back towards
the child and my thumb is stuck through my index finger and my
middle finger and I wiggle it and I say got your nose?
Fucking got him. Behind you it's.
Like the Locket begins to fade as Mary absorbs the magic into
her own, it becomes more wholly part of her.
When Mary opens her eyes again, the Locket is gone.
She gets unsteadily to her feet. No, V yells, you can't.
And Mary looks at the child and signs go to bed and she casts
sleep and V collapses, falling into a heavy slumber.
Back at the top of the. Order enough to have a roarse.
His golden blood seeps from his cuts and wounds, and he is
breathing hard. He bares.
His. Obsidian teeth at you, Fran.
And then he disengages and takes a running step up, jumping to
the highest platform. He looks down upon all of you
with a burning hatred so vicious it almost makes you flinch.
You are. Children.
Meddling in things you do not understand.
I will not let you stop me. This is how I make it all end.
Finally end. And you?
Will not get in my. Way with that, he turns and
makes a heaving motion with his arms.
The platform he is standing on raises up to level with the
dragon, and he brings one hand up.
Glyphs and godly writing appear in the air around him and then
drop to the floor. Explore in a circle, one you've
seen before, just before he sacrificed Bruva.
Only Fran. You can tell that they're
different. He's refined them or changed
them somehow, and it isn't until they begin glowing beneath his
feet that you understand. He's not sacrificing himself to
bring the dragon back to life. He's making the dragon part of
him, attaching it to his will. Like a phantom limb, the dragon
creaks to life above you and turns its hideous, warped head.
The cables and wires that held it to the ceiling creak and snap
as its limbs move, its wings extend, and the scaffolding
around it begins to collapse with you on it.
Everyone please make me a Dexterity saving throw.
I got a 19 OK. I also got a 19.
What'd you, what'd you roll? A5.
Technically a three. Corbin, you are going to take a
cool 12 damage as you are hit by falling debris.
As all of you begin to fall. Mary surges forward as the
platform underneath her feet bucks and slides, and she casts
out a net of fine golden light which catches all of you and the
falling rubble before it hits your troops below.
Her platform stabilizes, and golden tears roll down her
cheeks as she concentrates on holding the devastation in place
so it does not crush your troops.
Still battling the hordes of undead and Tito Cairn soldiers
below you, Mary looks up to where Torva is on his platform
and then looks at you. Slake and she speaks into your
mind, unable to move her hands to sign.
You have to break his control. Above you, the dragon roars, and
the sound is all wrong. It rips itself from the cables
holding it in place and lands on one of the few remaining
platforms, unfurling its Bony wings.
Hello, and we hope you're enjoying our Torva extravaganza.
As you may sense. We are coming to the end of this
fucking campaign like a Jesus Christ.
So for just a peek behind the curtain, as it stands right now,
we probably have like 5-6 ish episodes left.
We have them all recorded, actually we've had them recorded
for a while, but we are working on getting them edited and
getting our new schedule, well, our old schedule back.
So as a reminder, we are coming out with episodes every two
weeks. And this is really mostly thanks
to our wonderful audio editor who helps us out.
Raven Winkle, we love you so much.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and help.
You're God's most beautiful Angel, and we really appreciate
you. So please, everybody who's
listening, send out a little good vibe for Ray for doing so
much work and being so great and really, really, really being the
linchpin that allows us to go back to our old schedule when
all of us cast members are so busy.
Thank you, Ray. And Speaking of thank yous, I
would love to thank our new Patreon members, Audrey, Haley,
Floral and Colston. Thank you guys so, so much.
Speaking of things we've gotten kind of back on track with there
are amazing outtakes coming out after every ish episode over on
Patreon. So if you're wondering what
insane goof em UPS didn't make it into the show because of
pacing, usually you can head on over there.
There's some really funny stuff. If I do say to myself, you can
also check out our bonus campaign and like a million
other things we got. We got a lot going on on
Patreon. So if you are caught up to this
point and you're like, God damn it, where is my legend lark fix
going to come from? That's where it's going to come
from. Head on over to Patreon.
We have some stuff for free too. Go ahead, check it out.
I also want to thank our beautiful Apple Podcast
reviewer, This damsel flies one. Thank you so much for the lovely
comment and review. It's so, so sweet of you to take
the time to write us a review. I also want to thank everybody
who's been commenting and responding to polls on Spotify.
It could be that our kind of community comment section moves
over there somewhat as Spotify is getting to be the pod catcher
right now. So if you've been listening on
Apple Podcasts out of just pure loyalty towards us, feel free to
switch over to Spotify. We would.
Also love to hear. From you on there.
And last of all, a message to Chantelle.
Chantelle, my sweet feather. The code word is Fraxy Ashley
and the sleeper agent is active once again.
Go. All around you the.
Platforms have fallen into disarray, suspended by Mary's
golden light. They jut out at strange angles,
making the terrain difficult to traverse as you look up towards
the platform where Torva still stands, bathed in the light of
his glowing magic circle. Slake, you're still on the
hydra's back. So wait, can you actually make?
Me, a strength to hold on to this monstrous Dragon's back as
it comes to life and takes off. We'll say DC 16 seven.
That's A7. But.
That's +8. 7 + 8 dot. Which is. 15 Thank you. 15
Which? Doesn't quite do what?
Slink is pretty good. I did just say 16 though.
Yeah, here's what's gonna happen.
You're going to take 7 damage. As you are flung from your
footing on the Dragon's back and you scramble and scrape,
grabbing onto the loose scales that are tacked onto this
thing's mottled flesh, trying to find a foothold.
You pass the joint of a wing and your fingers just graze it, but
you keep sliding down. You slide down the ridges of its
back and finally find a purchase just at the midpoint of its tail
as the tail thrashes about in the air.
So that's fun. We'll we'll return to you later,
Slake. OK, Fran, you are on one of the
lower platforms looking up at this dragon as it roars above
you. Corbin, you took a hit from some
of the falling rubble as it passed by.
It knocked you off and spun you on your axis.
But you have the power of flight thanks to your amazing
transformation. And so you're able to sort of
correct in the air. You're you're very used to
flying as a crow. So this isn't actually too hard
for you to do. You're able to correct as you're
spinning through the air and arrest your momentum.
Meanwhile, Mary is up on one of the higher platforms, struggling
valiantly to keep all of this from falling onto your troops
below. So, cat, where's the?
Child, I noticed you didn't mention the child you don't see
the. Child, when you look around you
don't see them. It looks like the platform where
they were standing on has tipped 90° and is now vertical, so
presumably they fell. But you do not see them in the
the tumble of rubble below you. That should be fine.
Yeah, that's always good. Yeah, it's always good.
It's totally fine. Don't worry about it, OK?
Damn. I'm not worried.
Are you? Are you not?
I'm not worried that's. Great, because it's where is
Zorn? Zorn.
Oh my God, Zorn. Fran.
As you have that thought where where is Zorn?
You think where is my boy? My new boy?
God damn boy, where your. New boy your.
Elemental. Boy, your boy.
Less likely to betray you than Barlgura.
You are thinking this. You're worrying about Zorn.
And then Zorn pops out of the platform next to you.
Nice. He can do that.
Yeah. He likes it to be in a stone.
He can. He can move through it without
having his movement seat affected.
He can melt in and out. Does it disrupt the stone when
he moves through it? No, it doesn't disrupt the
stone. Oh, wow.
Sustainable. It's ecological.
Yeah, wow, it's sustainable. So let's.
Get into it, Dragva. 'S turn.
Torva's. Drag persona?
Yeah, Dragva. What about?
Torgan. It's OK, Torgon.
All right, we'll go with Torgon. It's so stupid.
So first in the order. Is Torva as a dragon Torgon as
we have settled the countryside that.
Little guy's turn. He's going to start with a
breath attack. Gross you got?
A little guy, No. He's not little.
He's not going to start. With the breath attack, opposite
of a little man, he's burning. Hating the country.
He's burning the country, guys, he is going to.
Exhale a cloud of sport, not my thatchery of.
Cottages Sport, Sport, sport. Guys, we're.
Going to get home, can you please all make me wisdom?
Saving thrust. How am I going to operate heavy
machinery, Mary? Has a thing, Mary?
So jot. That down.
Oh, that's right, yeah. She has like immunity or
something, right? The Claw of the worm room.
She's got that claw, the claw of the worm.
Room. Oh, I'm doing amazing.
Wow, I'm so fucking genius smart.
You're very wise. That's a 27.
Nice. Very good.
So here's the thing.
I rolled a 13. However I do have this skill
called indomitable that I can use twice between long rest.
So that's me re roll a saving throw that I failed.
Now I rolled a 13 did that fail? Yes.
OK, great. 8:00 So that really helped a lot.
So Slake did. Not pass Fran, I got an
unnatural. 20 OK, so Fran and. Corbin, you are going to take
half damage. It opens its terrible maw, and
you see like its teeth are black shards of Obsidian that have
just sort of been shoved in there and wired in.
And as it opens its maw, a cloud of spores erupts from it,
raining over all of you. That is going to be 46 damage
for us. For Slake.
It's that strong. And it is going to.
Be half of that for Corbin and Fran and also you are going to
be frightened slick. I'm about to.
Die. I'm also about to die too.
Shit, I mean, it's fine. I'll die frightened and I have 5
hit points. Oh boy.
Oh. Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Oh, what are you at? I have. 23 Oh, I have nine.
OK, so I'm doing the best. Yeah, we're all.
Looking. Pretty.
We're all looking not good. Yep, yeah, as it.
Says the scores. Just go into our fucking open
wounds. Yeah, yes.
That went pretty bad for you, OK.
And we crossed over with horrible.
Scabs. So I don't want to talk about
that. I have a question about the
spores. Yeah.
What color are they? I think they're sort of a.
Chromatic A black chromatic cloud.
Okay, so that's the. Dragon Stern All right, Fran,
you're up. Okay.
How are you doing? Gran is.
Crusted in blood and scores just looking like.
You know, like. Wrinkly and horrible like you
look when you're covered in dust.
Your hair is dirty and like swamp like and almost as if by
just like reaction to feeling physical pain, she reaches up
and casts fireball up at this fucking thing's head.
OK, what does it need to roll? Dex.
That's a four, OK. Great. 29.
Damage. 29 damage. Your fireball splashes off of
its skin and singes just sort of the crispy edges around its
face. And now it's Zorn.
Zorn. Okay, so Zorn, where is Zorn?
Right next to right next to me. And how far down are we?
So it's about a 350 foot tall. Cap or is at the top Dragons
underneath Torva. I'd say you're 150 feet.
You're about like the midway point of this cavern.
So he's at the top of the. Cavern. 150 we're in the middle
of the cavern. And we have to climb up many
things. I'm going to have Zorn start
climbing. And that's what he's going to do
because he can't attack unless he gets close.
OK, And then Fran is going to hide.
Also crouches so that she's not within eyesight of Torva or the
dragon. And now?
We're still in Torva's lair, so he gets to take a layer action.
Damn it, Little. Bitch.
I know how does he have? Any layer left.
I mean the. Whole.
Place is layer. No certainness.
No. Certainness.
Where are you? Don't worry about it.
I want to pray to certainness. And I want to tell him that Torv
is in his hole and he has. To come get him out.
Dragon Torva. Torgon is going to use his lair
action to cast deep torpor. I wish he wouldn't the dragon.
Casts the. Slow spell that is only going to
target one of you and I'm going to target for just for funsies.
I'm going to target Corbin. Thank God.
What does that do to me? You are going to make a wisdom.
Save DC-16. That is exactly 16.
That's too bad. That would have been fun.
OK, so Corbin, you feel a a slowness sort of grabbing at
your wings and you managed to shake it off with your
incredible wisdom. That is the layer action.
And now Corbin, it's your turn. Jesus Christ.
OK y'all. Corbin is bleeding profusely
from like every everywhere. As was earlier stated, his
wounds are crusting over with opulent shimmering spores.
It's really opulent. It's really opulent.
Opalescent. What's the word?
Thank you. Opalescent.
His wounds are. His wounds are scabbing over
with opulent, opalescent, shimmering spore.
He's serving. He's serving and he's dying.
So he's going to cast Mass Cure Wounds.
Dates across the board. 14 I mean.
I'll take it. I mean, it's better than
nothing. It's better than nothing, all
right. You all feel a little bit
better, just a bit. All right.
It's like you are. No.
Turn right, you have. No turn.
It's like you are too busy right now clinging to this tale in
desperate fear to do anything else.
So now it is Mary's turn. Mary is going to speak into your
minds and say I can heal you all, but I'll need to drop the
rubble for a minute. What do you want me to do if?
Mary drops the rubble. What about the people down
below? Will the rubble drop onto them?
No, she's saying. Basically, she just has to.
Like, let that go for a second, it'll drop 10 feet, she'll heal
you guys, and then she'll pick it back up.
Wow, Fran. Burning with poison spores in
every open wound on her body says do it, do it, do it, do it.
Please do it OK. Mary, let's go of her control of
the platforms and they fall in a just a rapid drop.
Fran, you feel like your stomach just drop out.
And she is going to cast mask your wounds as well.
She is going to cast it 2 levels higher.
Yeah, actually, it's going to be really good.
That is going to be 44. It's appealing to all of you,
yeah. Thank God, thank you.
Mary. And then as soon as.
You start to feel a little bit better.
She grabs up all of the platforms again and friend, you
and Zoran, your platforms have fallen 10 feet.
Got it. OK, now we're back at.
The top of the order with the tour of a dragon.
Let me just see if it gets its breath up and back.
It doesn't. Then it's going to make a multi
attack on Corbin. I'm going to die.
I'm. Going to die, all right?
It is going to. Lunge towards you where you are
in the air Corbin, and it is going to attack with its bite
and it's bite. And it's 2.
Claws, it's going to be really mean attitude just going to.
Be really mean to me. So that is going to be a 21 to.
Hit Yeah Cat. Oh, that's a natural 20.
No, that it's not. That doesn't hit.
It can't be a natural 20. I just have that dice actually
pervious to those. No cat, that last one doesn't.
Hit either. You don't even know what I ask.
Yeah, I just know that it's. May I examine the dice?
Does it does a 15? Hit your armor class.
Actually, no it. Doesn't see it, doesn't hit as
exactly. As I said.
Examine the dice. It's normal.
It's a normal dice. All right, we'll say that it
hits with both its claws, but it misses with its bite.
Don't give me that back. I want to give it to you.
I don't think you need it. That.
Jeez, you were trying to hide it from me, Cat.
Why did you see it? Because it was.
I was looking directly. Yeah.
Air, close your eyes. No.
Guys, guys, I have the same. Die set, We can switch them.
That's a knock. She'll never know.
OK, that. Is going to be 16 damage Oh yeah
OK I'm I'm. Alive.
Total, total, total. Yeah, buddy.
Corbin doesn't actually feel it because he's so used to taking,
like, death rays to the face that he's like, was I even hit?
It's like that Tickled. OK.
All right, Fran, you're up. OK, so Fran now?
That she can think she's going to actually attack Torva OK and
not their dragon because she needs to kill Torva OK
immediately. Yeah.
So she's gonna cast ice beer up at him, OK?
And he needs. To Mate I.
Think that's a DEX all right? See.
It's not the. It's not the dice.
It's just luck he rolled a 3 + 1 no -3. 0.
It's a 10 total. It's a 10 total.
Hey. Well, it doesn't cast.
So I use my hands and my magical abilities.
Your hands and your magical. Abilities and I just hurl.
And I spear up at Torva. Not Torgan Torva.
Torva the man. Behind the dragon, the man
behind the. Dragon, I will pay close
attention to him and I'll do it using a sharp spear and he's
going to take 25 damage as it stabs him in the butt.
Get. Him.
It's humiliating for him, he. Takes 10 more so I can damage,
yeah. He does not even seem to notice
the damage and he doesn't react. At all.
No, he does not react at all. That's not a bad thing.
No, doesn't react. At all.
Does not seem to feel the damage.
What does this little face look like?
Absolutely impassive. And the dragon is going to use
one of its legendary actions. It's going to make a tail attack
against you, Fran. No, I'm hiding.
So Lake is on that day. I know I I can stop it.
No, you can't. I I think.
The dragon was able to see where you popped out of, my friend.
That is going to be. 28 hits, so that does that does hit you,
doesn't it? No, Or if you answer.
Yeah, I know that hits you. Hey, Mika, strength savings, I'm
really good at that. So just a.
Second, how could you do this to Fran?
Cool. So I got a four and that's
three. Great all.
Right, well, you're all the. Good news is I roll at least
some of the good news the. Good news is I.
Rolled damage and it ended up exactly the same as static
damage 9. You take 9 damage and you are
knocked prone. Why am I knocked prone?
Because. You failed your strength.
Saving throw it's. Not right.
I. Crawl.
Into a hiding spot. Oh my God.
OK. Fran, that was my little slug.
Body, that was your turn. It was your turn, and now it's
time for Zorn. Is the dragon by me now?
Well, the dragon is big enough. That it was able to just whip
its tail around at you if it can attack me and.
Engage with me. You can't, Zorn.
Then punch it in the tail. In the butt.
You know what? Yeah, I'll say.
I'll say if you want Zorn to like, jump off of its platform,
I want Zorn to jump. Onto the join me Zorn I want I
want to join slake on the tail OK and jump.
I want. Zorn then.
To make a we'll just call it a Dexterity saving throw.
Cool. Sure you don't.
Want that to be Constitution? No, I'm sure it's gonna be.
Dexterity. Sure you don't want to be
Constitution. Just 'cause that doesn't make
sense. No, no, it's definitely gonna
be. Dexterity.
I'm 100% sure about that. Zorn is.
Very good and dexterous and he flips around.
He does many flips and he rolled at 1717.
OK, that's. OK, that's good.
Yeah. He does a lot of flips and he's
like I made a rock. And he flips and then he.
Grabs flake and throws flake to the head.
He throw a flake to the head and.
And he kills Torment. A single blow.
I thought before you finish that I thought you were going to say
He throws Slake to the heaven. He does that too.
Zoran doesn't touch Slake. OK, No, no, no, he but he.
Doesn't use all of his movements to land on the tail.
OK, great. And then he's going to do.
A multi attack and he's going to claw and bite with his many legs
and arms and cloaca and stop it. I would never forget about the
cloaca. I think about all the time.
I know you do. So does an 18 hit.
Yeah, it does actually. OK.
Wow, OK. Then three hit and I believe 1
does not because it would only be a 14 that does not hit.
OK, so Zorn claws through and just like Rakes its little nasty
stone claws through the scales of the Dragon's tail, but is
unable to latch its onto the dragon.
But does do? 18 damage, OK, and is near Slake
and is radiating love beams towards Slake.
Yeah, you do Zorn and he's really cute.
He's so cute. OK, especially his cloake.
That Zorn. That Zorn.
And that Zorn, that's Zorn I need to know and that.
Zorn, everybody. Now it is time for a layer
action, and the layer action it's going to take this time is
smash itself to the ceiling. No, Disintegrate.
Disintegrate. Into pieces.
Disintegrate. Disintegrate.
You know what I think? It's actually gonna do the same
thing it did last time. It's gonna cast slow again, and
I think it's gonna just try and cast slow on Corbin again.
Stop it. Yeah, it just seems like it'd be
the most fun for everybody. What am I rolling again?
Is a wisdom. Saving.
Yeah, make me a Wisdom save DC-16.
It can get fucked because that's a 20.
Two, there you go. When the.
Dragon casts its spell. It rears its head back and
roars. And Corbin, you feel again.
You feel that slowness, that stiffness grabbing at your
wings. But you are so wise.
I'm really wise. You're really.
Wise I shouldn't. Try that again.
You're too wise taking out the magic.
Yeah, my wisdom saving through is literally a + 10.
So like, OK, beautiful so. That doesn't do anything.
Corbin, you're up now, so I'm going to.
First of all, I'm not slow. I'm quite quick.
So I'm going to fly up to Torva, so I'm within 40 feet of him,
OK? And then I'm going to cast
Blight on him. OK, You're going to cast Blight
on him. I can fucking see his bitch.
I can see his bitch ass as an ice spear.
Sticking out of it. I always just sort of imagine.
That the ice spear sort of like shatters.
Not this time. Not this time.
OK? It's just slowly melting.
While stuck into him like a sexy St.
Sebastian. Yeah, buddy.
And I'm gonna cast Blight. At the 6th level and he's gonna
need to make a Constitution saving throw all.
Right, that is gonna be a. 16 That doesn't make it, does it?
Not fucking that. Doesn't fucking cut it.
Okay, all right. 51. Damage.
And then I have a bonus action, a little Bony as.
A. Dragoon.
OK, I can use my breath weapon OK in a 60 foot cone, which I do
believe would reach eat cones Torva Mr. Corba who is 40 feet
away from me. Yep.
OK, Mr. Corbin, and and. Corbin says eat cones, torba and
then he. Unhinges his jaw like a snake
and breathes a terrible radiating blast at 4 cones of
cones of shimmering energy. And like a chromatic.
Yeah, chromatic I think it is. Yeah.
He'll have to make a Dexterity saving throw.
OK, that's going. To be a 23, yeah.
Well, he does. Pass, but he'll still take half
damage. So 17 damage, 17 force damage.
OK, oof. All right.
That's. A good turn, Corbin.
Thank you. Nice.
Corbin. How does Corbin look?
Again, he is. Not reacting at all.
He's standing with his palms down towards the magical symbols
on the floor below him. Okay, okay, that's that.
It's like you are frightened. Am I?
Yeah. Do you roll for frightened at
the end of your turn? Yes.
Oh, not till the end. OK, You are you are frightened.
And you are clinging to a tail. You're down by me.
Yeah, I'm my friend Fran. I mean Zorn.
Yeah. So I can't move closer to the
dragon because I'm frightened. Nope.
But I'm on the dragon, so there's no reason I couldn't
attack the dragon. Yeah, you can attack where you
are. Yeah, I mean, why not?
I think you have disadvantage, right?
Yes, if you're attacking against the thing that you're afraid of,
yeah. But if you can see the thing
that you're afraid of, yeah. I mean, I guess I close your
eyes. No.
I disadvantage. Because your eyes are closed.
Yeah. Well, OK, let's make some attack
rolls. 18 plus fucking 11. That hits.
Yeah, 21. OK, 17 that hits.
That might not hit that's. The only 15 that one does not,
so you hit 3. Times.
I'll take it. Roll damage, all right.
Oh, and. With the Dragon Slayer Sword,
you gain a + 1 bonus to attack and damage roles made with a
weapon. When you hit a dragon, the
dragon takes an extra 3D6 damage.
So that's. 53 + 18 holy fuck holy shit 70.
One Ouch. So I'm.
Using the Dragon Slayer sword and yeah, I think I am trying to
like hack off the tail that's below me, I guess.
Yeah, I'm hacking away with this big Obsidian sword.
And yeah, Kat, can I cut off the tip of the tail?
Yes, you cut off the tip of the tail.
Does that mess up? Its tail attacks, then we'll
resolve that one he next. To the tail attack.
Oh, maybe he's going to regrow. It OK Wisdom saving throw.
To see if you were unfrightened. Think I'm still frightened?
OK. Is that your turn?
I have a bonus action. That I can do as well, which is
second win so I can use a bonus action to regain hit points
equal to 1D10 plus my level. So let's do that, OK?
OK, seventeen hit points. OK, wonderful.
That's. Really good for you.
OK, now it is Mary's turn. Do you guys need more healing?
Do you want her to try and do anything or should she just keep
holding? I think we want her to heal.
Us again, just to be. I mean, we're not dying now, but
we could be dying in as little as one turn.
That's so cute. Oh, isn't that wonderful?
OK. Mary speaks into your mind Fran,
and says OK, get ready for the drop, ready as I'll ever be.
And she drops. You another 10, 10 feet, Fran,
and you are yet 10 feet further from him.
OK, so that is going to be 27. Nice.
Now can somebody roll me? AD 20 No please.
What's it? What's it 4I will not tell you
until. You roll it, no.
I'm going to get a natural 20 or a natural 1 and I haven't
decided yet which one. I think you should decide to get
a natural 20. I got a natural 17A natural 17.
Okay, that's really good. That's really good.
All of you, please make me another.
Dixterity saving throw except for Slake and Zorn.
I got 15. 6 6. Too bad.
Corbin I'm arguably the most. Extras person right now you are
but. You feel the entire cavern begin
to shake violently and more rubble dislodges from the
ceiling. Actually, let me make a
concentration saving throw from Mary here.
Oh shit, she does not. Concentrate.
So Fran you are going to drop another 10 feet and there is a
scream from somewhere below you. A very high pitched voice
screams out. The Tavern continues to shake
until a large chunk dislodges and it hits the dragon on its
shoulder and the dragon spirals. And now Slake and Zorn please
make me another dexterity. Save me throw.
OK, I'm. Really.
In it now, Zorn. Got a five.
OK, fuck Zorn. Oh.
Yeah. You can only get so many.
Good roles in a row, Errol Yeah, it's fine.
I got a one. You got a one?
Yeah, all. Right, Wait, but it's plus. 2 so
it's a 3 so that's you know, that's pretty good OK, so.
A chunk of the ceiling dislodges and the dragon spirals, taking
Slake and Zorn on a ride where they cannot hang on.
Both Zorn and Flake are grown from the dragon.
Oh, but they hold hands like. Chihiro and Haku from Yeah
anyway. And we cry big tears.
You do then. The ground beneath the battle
below you splits open and a huge number of zombies just fall
away. Oh, and.
From the pit. Climbing up through these
falling zombies, you see Certainus, God of the deed.
He has managed to. Make his way inside the dwarven
stronghold that has kept him out for so, so long.
Shit, this is the Deep. Baby Hell yeah, and it is his
lair. Now.
Layer. Actions for certainness.
I know he won't kill me. I mean, don't say.
That one such you've. Just we, we've.
Just seen a demonstration of what his layer action is at the
very least. He might also kill Korva.
Yeah, this is both good and. Bad for you?
Yeah, it really. Is I think that Fran, Fran is
like, yeah. I think it's a net.
Positive and then she's like watching Zoranens like fall down
holding hand wing. Spiraling.
Through the air, ears are popping.
Yeah. I don't know if someone has ears
he's popping. What are you mad about, Cat?
Because his cloaca pops severely and yours don't in the club.
Cloaca popping. OK.
So the dragon. Spirals through the air and
writes itself. It has moved 60 feet from where
it started down horizontally. Down.
And then up and is 60 feet to the right of where it started.
I have an edge. It's farther from us now.
Yes. Oh, rude.
OK. And now?
What cat? The.
Breath weapon recharged. So it is going.
To use its breath weapon on all of you, my beautiful friends, my
sweet creatures. It's like you are falling and
you're still going to get caught in the cloud.
Everybody make me a wisdom saving throw.
DC 1616 is what we're trying to do.
Oh my gosh, that's. A natural 20.
Wow, you are rolling so well today Juniper.
I am. I didn't pass absorned, did I?
Got a? 17 Hey that does that does it?
OK, me and Zorn wait does that. Mean that Slake is no longer
frightened. No, it is. 39 damage on a failed
save or half that on a successful save.
So that would be a 19 damage if you managed to save.
Jeez Fran, you are also now frightened, so the.
Dragon. Rears back.
It's awful twisted head and it releases another cone of spores
that just coats you and it clogs your eyes, your nose, your
throat and you feel a cold icy grip of Fear Fran as it affects
your mind. And now it's your turn.
OK. You are.
Frightened. You have disadvantage.
I have disadvantage on an attack.
Rolls. I have ability checks and.
Attack rolls and you cannot move closer to not going to use an
attack. Roll and it has to make a baby
throw. Where is Torva now in relation
to his dragon? He's still up at the.
Top on that uppermost platform. OK, well I'm going to.
Ignore this Dragon's dusty ass and I'm going to continue to
fireball at Torva. What's the range on a fireball?
Oh. Good question actually, maybe I
can't. Oh, it's 150 feet.
So I'm am IA little bit out of the range you are, so I think
you could. Use your movement since you're
not moving towards the dragon. Could use your movement to try
and get to another platform since you'll have to jump to the
nudge platform if you want to make me a athletics check.
It's a 10. Oh no.
Fran, that is not going to do it.
You run, you jump. Yeah, but I'm covered in.
Fucking scores. You can't see where you're
going. And so.
You make a. Blind leap and you just miss
that platform that you were going for.
It's like all the platforms are sort of zigzagging around you.
So you jump for one of the higher platforms and then you
you beef it. You just miss.
Your fingers don't even come close to the edge of it.
And you land on the platform just below and you begin to roll
down it, but you're able to arrest your movement.
You are. I still have some more movement,
don't I? Yeah, if you want to.
Crawl. Use the rest of your movement
action to get yourself up to the top of the platform.
You will be just within range to fireball Torva.
OK, I will. Do that then, as I crawl around
like a little worm trying to beat his ass.
He needs to make then a dex check as I hurl the saddest,
most frustrated fireball of my entire life at him.
Yeah, and he feels your sadness. And frustration.
He's so dexterous he rolls a 26. Bitch.
OK, well. He'll still take half damage,
which is going to be in this case 14 as I guess it it just
clips him. OK, you notice.
From afar, as you're looking up Fran, through your fear and
through these spores, you notice that this time, when the attack
hits, he flinches just a little bit.
OK. All right, now it's time for.
Zorn. Zorn is falling, OK?
Oh my God. Zorn is going to take the hit.
Zorn is going to wrap Slake up in his many arms and legs and
move himself so that he's underneath Slake and turn his
body into a pillow cushion. Oh Zorn.
No. Oh, Zorn.
Yes, okay, that's Zornes turn now it is certainis layer
action. And he is.
Going. To do another big shake.
Fran, can you make me another Dexterity safe?
Yeah, I just. Would love to and I would love
to fall down and die, but I'm not going to because I got a
natural 20. All right, you managed to.
Keep your feet under you, Fran, as the whole platforms that
you're on shake Corbin, you're in the air, Slake you're also in
the air, but in a less advantageous position than
Corbin is arguable arguable. You're right, you've got Zorn.
Yeah, sure do. You've got.
Zorn all around. OK, the dragon.
Did fail its dexterity save, so it is going to take a cool 16
damage as another chunk of the ceiling dislodges and hits the
dragon in the center of its back, making it bow and then
rise again on its leathery wings.
And now it is Corbin's turn. Corbin, you've got a friend
who's falling. You've got a dragon in front of
you. OK What do you do?
Yeah. So. 1st, I wanna get fully on
the platform that Torva's on, so I'm gonna fly the last 40 feet
to Torva and land on the platform with with him.
And then I'm going to use my bonus action preemptively to
cast breath weapon, whip hone against him, run up in his ear
because he's not moving, and I'm going to use my breath.
Weapon right up. In his ear you get as close to
him as you can. But when you hit the edge of the
circle, I'm so locked out you are.
It's like you run into a solid wall.
OK OK, well I use my breath weapon on him.
OK, that's I believe it's a Dexterity saving throw that'll
give you a 26. OK, yeah, so he takes.
Half damage and that is going to be 6 D 8, so he'll take 14
fourth damage from that. OK.
And then I think what I'm going to do, I'm going to.
Cast. A different concentration spell.
So my draconic abilities are going to go away.
OK, so Corbin. He.
Loses his dragon form. It kind of just washes away from
him and he looks up at the dragon and he says eat bats.
Motherfucker. And then he casts.
Stupid. Then he casts at the 4th level
conjure animals and he conjures 8 swarms.
Of bats. So like I'm thinking like 100
bats minimum. How many bats?
Is it a swarm? I mean, it swarms a lot of bats,
so maybe it's 100 per swarm. No, I would bet, I would bet
it's 25 per swarm, 25 per swarm. So 8 swarms of bats, and I'm
going to direct the swarms into the Dragon's mouth.
And they slip, of course. They slip through the Dragon's
little Obsidian teeth, of course.
And they all. Go down.
It's throat at once at once, and the dragon swallows.
If it can. What are they going to do?
Are they? Going to attack.
Yeah, they're going to attack in the throat, OK.
Can they do that in the same turn I think they technically
get. Their own initiative turn.
They go at the end of your. Turn at the end of my turn.
Yeah, Yep. Well, OK, you've.
Done that, so now it's the 8 swarms.
Of bats. So now the 8 swarms of bats are
they are going to and. They're flooding.
The mouth of this dragon they are in they are like inside
fluttering around in the throat of the dragon and they're gonna
bite OK and it's. Breath weapon.
Apparatus organ is what they're aiming for with their OK
anything. Under a 17.
Does not hit. Four.
That's. Not bad.
So that is. How much does their static
damage damage? Is five OK?
You did 20 damage to. The dragon, that's not bad,
that's not bad, that's not bad for my bad swarm.
Not bad. OK, not.
Bad. Flake, it's your turn.
You're falling. Yeah, I wish those bats could
have. Helped me too bad like you.
Are falling. You have a Zorn wrapped around
you, thank God and. The two of.
You crash into the ground and why don't you make me a
Constitution saving throw? OK?
Does. Does Zorn.
Have to he's. Trying to dissolve to absorb the
forest. This is slake only.
He can also go. Partially into the ground, Yeah.
Oh, is it sustainable? Though it's.
Sustainable. Oh, thank God.
Thank God. OK, Well I rolled really well.
That's like way over 20. OK, great.
You do not take. Any damage as you feel Zorn's
embrace around you as you hit the ground and Zorn sinks into
the ground enough to arrest your momentum.
It is a bumpy landing. Let's not mince words.
Here you are. You're not laid gently down.
You roll and spit and get dirt in your mouth, but you are fine.
But what about Zorn? As Zorn is like arresting your
momentum and like dissolving into airbags, he says.
Zorn Go. You stay so.
Zorn. Oh, that's so Zorn.
Classic Zorn. Classic.
Zorn All right, Zorn. Has dissolved fully into the
earth below you. It is sustainable.
Well, thank God it's sustainable.
It's OK, I'm going to have you. Make a Dexterity saving throw to
see if you're able to roll to your feet in one cool, smooth
motion or not. Yeah, it's only 9 that's.
Only 9? No.
You are knocked prone as you just roll.
You roll on the floor. So you are frightened, you are
prone. You are in the middle of a
zombie ward and a battle that's is raging against them.
And can somebody please just roll me AD 20?
No, no. I'll, I'll do it.
There's. Only three of you two people
have refused. So, Junipers, I'll fucking do
it. I'll.
Do it your last name. It's a nine.
That's not good for you, Slake. Great.
It's like. As you.
Kind of get up onto your elbows and and look around at what's
going on around you. A shambling zombie lurches
towards you, drawn by the scent of your blood, and a shot rings
out behind you. When you look back, you see
Celni as she fires at the zombie once, twice, hitting it in the
shoulder and the chest, and she doesn't get that headshot.
And then as you're watching, her gun jams.
OK, it's your turn. You are prone.
You are frightened of the dragon.
You are in a not great spot, but you're alive.
All right. Yes, I'm going.
To get up and then I'm going to try to finish off this zombie.
At least I'm going to keep using my Dragon Slayer sword because
otherwise I'd have to switch weapons.
And that's a whole, that's a whole thing.
OK, that first one's not going. To hit OK, but.
We've got. Three more so. 19.
Yeah, it hits 17. That'll hit.
Oh, and that's a Nap 20. That will definitely hit.
Cool, so I'll roll. Damage.
So that's 34 altogether. Yeah, you kill this zombie so.
Dead, you just cleave it in twain and Thelene hits the gun
against the palm of her hand and shakes her head and looks at you
and says shit, glad you fell from this guy.
You're not supposed to be down here.
And we'll come back to you in a minute.
We'll see if you're still frightened to the dragon.
OK, Nope, Nope all. Right you are still.
Frightened to the dragon? That's going to be really funny
in a minute. Oh my God.
All right. And now it is Mary's turn.
I think she is just going to continue holding up the rubble,
keeping it from falling any further.
OK, now it is the Dragon's turn. It's got a mouse full of bats, a
throat full of bats. Good luck.
Casting breath weapon idiot. A breath weapon apparatus full
of bats. Well, the dragon with.
Its mouth full of bats winces and rears back and then does a
big old gulp and attacks you with its bite.
Corbin, unfortunately. Kat, The thing is, is that all
the bats are still alive after having been swallowed.
They're just, they're just now swallowed.
They're just now swallowed because it swallows.
All of your bats down in one big old Gulp as they all occupied
the same space and that attack roll is a natural 20A fat girl
20. A fat girl, 20.
That is going to be 32 damage and then it is going to use the
rest of its multi attack to attack the only other target
available to it at this moment, and that is our girl Mary, our
sweet. Girl, Mary.
And that's going to be. All right, one of those is
going. To hit and that is going to do
it's only going to be just a cool little 8 damage to her.
OK, yes. And because of the bat.
Yeah, the bats. The bat really literally saved
Mary's life. Yeah.
She would have been killed if. Not for those bats.
She literally would be dead right now.
She would. She bats piloted that dragon
like a bat. OK.
Fran. You are up.
Well, maybe up is a strong word, but it's your turn.
You are down. I'm going to climb up as.
Far as I can towards Torva. How far is that cast?
Well, how much movement do you have?
30 feet of movement yeah. So up this platform you can move
we'll say about 10 feet and then you can try jumping to the next,
OK. And then again I.
Have to make a acrobatics check. Yes please.
OK. OK, so that.
One was 14. That will do it.
That's enough. And it it is not Queen landing,
it's not pretty. You do not have like a cool
anime landing. You just sort of you land, you
roll, you get back up to your feet.
And so now how much? Closer am I?
You're 30 feet closer so. I'm going to cast.
Summon Greater Demon and I'm going to cast it 60 feet away
from me, OK? And towards Torva.
And I'm going to summon a beautiful Bharal Gura.
OK, I guess. This is his natural.
Environment fucking Donkey Kong platforms and he's he's in his
natural environment. He has a climb speed of 40 feet.
OK, he'd be about. Like 70 feet.
Below Torva, whatever platform that leaves him at OK when I
cast him and he rises up like a beautiful magical girl with his
chains and blood sparkling all around him and I say get up
there as fast. As you can all right.
We got to beat. His ass.
All right off. He goes well, his turn.
Just go off your mind. Yeah.
OK. So for his turn, I think he's
just going to dash to get to Torva, OK.
And so he's just swinging, climbing.
Is he saying anything, Juniper? He turns to when you ask him
that and he says you may slap it.
Once and then. He climbs EW, that's what.
He. Says Fran.
Heights good. Now.
It is Sertinus. Turn to shake the earth again.
Everybody who is not currently hovering, please make me a
Dexterity saving throw. That's a natty 1.
OK. Yeah, neither.
Me nor borrow. Like neither did Mary.
Nor did I. Oh shit.
Fuck you guys. Yeah, this.
Honestly this. Is a very odd brand for certain.
He's one of those gods where it's like, does he hate mortals?
No, but does he like them? No, no, not that either.
You are all going to take one damage.
No2 damage, 3 damage you are all.
Going to take 12 damage. It's a lot higher than what we
said. Cat, I know you're all going to
take. 12 damage and his certainness affected by the.
Bats at all? No, he's.
Not he's not. He's not affected by the bats at
all. Are you sure about that?
Are. You sure about that?
I'll tell you what. Effect the bats have on him.
He saw the bats fly into that creature's mouth, into the dream
with contempt. Towards immortals.
He saw. Corbin just.
Sacrifice these bats that he summoned into the mouth of a
dragon for apparently no reason. They helped.
And. It's like you see this as you
are down on the ground and you see him sort of narrow his eyes
and then he shakes the cavern. Like he's like, mad at what?
The little snow globe figures did inside.
All right, so you guys. You guys all take damage.
As more debris falls from the ceiling, does the dragon take
damage at least? No.
Wow. Not even.
With a tummy full of bats, not. Even with a tummy full of bats,
tummy full of. All.
Of the Rebel. Misses him.
All right, Fran, as you are hit by this falling rubble, your
feet sort of start to go out from under you and you're on
this tilted platform you begin to lose your balance.
Oh no, I. Put the back of my hand to my
forehead like a fainting Victorian woman, as you do.
You are caught in the arms of Phelan as he appeared behind me.
Oh my God. Are you sure?
It's the right one. That doesn't matter.
Yeah, I know it. I know, but I.
Do I? I look up at Phelan and I kind
of blink, like maybe I'm hallucinating.
Which one is it? How's he looking?
It is good Phelan. And he's looking pretty bad.
He says I've got you. And then he very abruptly does
not have you as his worst half, appears behind him and tackles
him away from you. The two of them roll on the
platform and Phelan good, Phelan, having just a little bit
of an edge over his other half, manages to pin dark Phelan
beneath him with a dagger pressed to his throat.
But Phelan has one pressed to Phelan's ribs and the two are
frozen like that. Finally held in a stalemate.
At your feet, Fran. Oh, alum sauce, leave him like
that. Just leave him.
When Phelan, he, he doesn't look back at you, but he calls back,
he says, Fran, you remember what I told you?
If I ever. Betrayed you?
My dagger. You still have it, right?
Oh. I.
Guess I do. Fran pulls it out.
Yeah. What do I want to do?
Did you ever learn how to glue them?
Back together. So Fran wants to look intensely
at both of the Phelans. Which one seems like they have
taken more damage? Pholin by by just a hair.
Because of that fortune role we had.
OK, then Fran's gonna. Run.
Try to stab him. OK, Jesus.
I like how. It's basically a coin toss,
yeah. It's Phalen's all the way.
Down, baby. It's Phalen's all the way down.
All right, I'm not even going to make you roll Fry.
He's pinned, so she. Runs over there and she slides
on her knees to a stop next to them and I think she meets eyes
with Bad Phalen and she's going to kiss the hilt of the blade
before she stabs him as you stab him.
You see Pholen smile just a little and he says can work.
I wink. And then both of them sort of
collapse toward each other. And you?
See the spot where you pierced Dark Phelan A.
Wound appears. On good Phelan's chest as well.
And he? Looks at you and says it's going
to be OK, and then both of them vanish.
Oh fuck. OK, Fran has.
No time to fucking process that. She's got to fight Torva, I
guess. Yeah, yeah.
But she, for the moment, stays staring at the spot where they
were. Holy shit.
All right, Corbin. It's your turn now.
OK, first of. All he mourns his bats.
Yeah, he he punches the wall of Thorva's thing and says, you
bastard. Oh.
God. You've been holding.
On to that, this whole time I actually haven't.
I just thought. Of it very good, very good.
I'm just like. Really off the cuff.
Like that I put my hands against his shield and I like, tap my
little fingers and I smile at him.
So I'm just really feeling some type of way and I cast Blight
again. OK, what does he need to roll?
Constitution Savings. 24 Yeah, he rolled. 24 OK yeah, he takes
half damage. It's 23 Necrotic Damian.
Ouch, Ouch. You are starting to see Corbin,
and since you're right up close to him, you're starting to see
that like some of his flesh is starting to like, peel back from
his bones. Oh my God.
I. Chomp my teeth at him.
He doesn't react. No, he's in the.
Dragon. He's in the dragon.
All right, Slake, you are down. Yes, at the very.
Base so last we left. You, Seleni, had just called for
the Papas, and here come the Papas now.
Big, burly, beautiful dwarves, and they seem to have some sort
of a trebuchet that they're dragging.
Oh my God, yes. And.
It is of. Dwarven make and Seleni says all
right, get in and it's like I'm going to have to have you roll
against your frightened. Oh damn it.
OK, OK. Man this better I.
Don't want to be frightened. This is great 16 That's all you
got to beat. 15 Oh, that is. That is righteously unfair.
OK, so you don't? Want to do this as you are
filled with fear. What are you saying as?
They try to shove you into the trash, I think.
I think I'm not saying any. You're just like, shaking.
I'm just like, wiggling and squirming.
Wide eyed staring. Up with the dragon.
The thing is though, that you. Cannot willingly move towards
it. But Celi and the Papas are going
to move you, willingly or not. So as you wordlessly try and
scramble your way out of this catapult, they are loading you
in. They are.
Doing up the.
Mechanisms Celi is shooting at any of the zombies who try and
get close, yes. As the Papas load you up.
And little Papa looks at you and says fly well, and then you are
off. Oh boy.
Yes. You are off you.
Are up, you are out and you are travelling way too fast.
Way too fast. Way way way too fast.
Can you please make me a Dexterity savings throw at
disadvantage because you are frightened?
God. 8. All right, Yeah.
You are hurtling through the air, screaming, crying.
And you just. Smack into the side of this
dragon and it is going to take. It's going to take 12 damage.
Nice from. This and.
You are going to take. Oh.
Hey, it could be. Worse, it's all working out,
it's going great, everything's coming up's like it's all
according to Keikaku. And everything.
'S like is coming up. I'd like to try to use this
sword to hang on. Please make an attack roll
against the. Dragon's Armor class.
OK, that I can do. OK, first one I.
Don't know if I get multiple but this is 25 that will hit I'm
going to say. You only get the one attack
because you're just like stabbing the sword in to keep
yourself from falling down. I'll accept that, but you do hit
it. Well, what's the damage?
Awesome. Well I get to the.
Extra dragon damage. It's a special sword, so let's
see. So that's 27 total.
All right, 20. 7 total. Damage is you just stab your
sword in and slice down as you are falling, but you managed to
arrest your momentum and you are now hanging from your sword of
the Dragon's side. Still so so scared.
Love it. Doing.
Great you are still. So frightened, but you are doing
it anyway. Yes, I am doing scared.
Yes, tears running down my face. OK, it is.
Mary's turn and Mary is still holding things up, but this time
she is straining, she is trying and she is going to move and she
is going to move towards Torva. And so I'm just going to have
her make a quick acrobatics check, see how she does this.
Oh, shit, OK, she does great. She rolled in 19.
So Mary, while still holding her concentration, begins to move up
towards Torva, climbing with slow, deliberate movements up
these platforms. She's not there yet, but she's
getting close now. And now it is the Dragon's turn.
The dragon, who is not looking good now.
It is like it's not bleeding. It doesn't have blood, but it
has wounds ripped in its side and an impact crater and it's
missing a big chunk of its tail. It is.
It is not doing super great and a belly full of bats.
Yeah, and a belly. Full of bats.
That's probably the worst part. It's.
Probably really done the most damn of the dragon of all.
So the dragon let's well. Let's see, let's first, let's
see. No.
You're right, it does not. Recharge its breath weapon.
You know I was right. I already.
Knew that because of the bats. Yeah.
Yeah, OK. Wasn't worried or concerned.
Well, it doesn't get to do. Its breath weapon, which is
really sad for it. It's going to try and bite slick
and clots like who's on it? I I am that.
You are on it and it doesn't like.
That and it wants you to not be on it.
So that's going to be. That is a 19.
That is a 13 and. That is a natural 20.
OK, yeah, 19 is my armor. Class so OK so it.
Hits with its bite and one of its claws, so that is going to
be 16 piercing and five poison damage OK from its bite and it's
going to be another 8 from its claw.
Cool, I feel great. I'm not scared.
You're not scared. You feel great, Fran.
You just stabbed your boyfriend at the best of your other
boyfriend, and then both boyfriends disappeared.
All right, well, I'm just going to file that.
Away. Yeah, pack that one in.
The box. The box where you keep all of
your things that you don't want to think about and it's gone.
All right, I'm going to. I spear Torva through the
asshole again. Again.
Yeah, Double, double. Don't say it, Don't say it,
don't say it. Year old's a 20.
Fine, a natural 20. The 20 is was he comes by it
naturally. That's 11 damage.
OK. Corbin as you're so.
Close to Torva you can see his composure is starting to crack,
like the damage is starting to show.
Crack, you say? And it's.
More than just the damage that you guys have done, when you're
looking closely, Corbin, you can see that the bull that Slake has
ripped in the Dragon's side, the dash has opened up across
Torva's side as well. It's for all girls turn.
Karl Guerra he is. Going to attack.
OK, he's going to. Smash.
He's. Going to smash Torva, yeah?
OK, he. Punch him and he punch him.
Yes, yes, you punch. Him, he bite.
And the. Lowest is.
Unnatural 20. OK.
Yeah, those are all hit. And he?
Just is smashing with his fists and biting.
And he does. He does 29.
Damage with his two fists and his one mouth.
OK. All right, and now the Dragon's
going to take one of his legendary actions and use
commanding spores the dragon releases.
No, the bats stopped that. No, that there's bats.
In him, no. Sorry, we put bats.
Inside of him. The dragon is going to release.
Commanding spores. The dragon releases spores
around a creature within 30 feet that I can see.
Well, that's not me. I'm not there.
No, no, no, but. Actually it's going to release
them on barrel girl, but all girl make a wisdom saving throw,
OK? Yeah, that was 11.
Nah, no, that's not. Does not hit the.
DC-16 saving throw Balgra now must use his reaction to make a
melee weapon attack against a random creature within reach.
So a random. Creature.
All right then, let's toss a coin.
Yes, OK. One for Porva, 2 for Corbin.
Yep. Sounds good.
It's Corbin. Damn it.
So. Girls mind.
Controlled into attacking for men, junipers attacking why
themselves? That's that's literally psycho.
That's really psycho, right? So this is going.
To be he's going to try and fist you.
He rolls 2. He's stupid and oh he's an
idiot. I think the bats are
influencing. The bats are probably getting
into him. OK all.
Right. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure.
That some of the bats at least have passed the blood brain
barrier of the dragon. So like it's probably affecting
broker blood brain beer. Never mind Fredrika, you've.
Put me in a room of bats. Where am I?
He's. Swinging blindly.
Around Wow. It was the bats.
The bats.
All right. And oh, it's the layer actions
turn, so it's the layer actions. Turn Yeah, also it's it's man
it's man it's man man it's. Man, man, it's.
Man door hook, man door hand, everybody please make.
Dexterity saving throws Certainness.
Is what I meant to. Say you said nothing even with
oh. It's a man I.
Got a 21. So man, that you bitches
dexterity, you said yeah. Oh, that's a that's a crisp and
cool set. OK, that's a crisp and cool 9.
All right, Fran does a back flip and a front flip.
All right, so Corbin Slake. Mary and the dragon are all
going to take just a a cool 6 cool 6 damage cool 6 damage from
falling rubble. Fran does that thing in.
Final Fantasy, where the rebel is falling and she jumps off of
it. Yeah, it's very.
Cool, it looks so, so cool scrubbing your up.
Oh, it's me. You've you've got a.
Monkey on you got a monkey on my back.
What else is new? I'm going to ignore the monkey.
Whatever, that's not my problem. Seems like it maybe is not yet.
Maybe eventually he needs to make that.
Connie. Save.
Even though he didn't roll great, that is.
Still in 18, it's right on the money.
Oh, meet and beat. Yeah.
So then 14 damage is what he will take OK.
All right, he is not looking good.
He's really not looking good. OK, so the Dragon's going to
take another legendary action, but this one costs two actions,
so he'll only have two this time.
Oh my God. Fucked the dragon is.
Going to release a spore salvo on what?
Corbin? Corbin, please make a
constitution saving throw. You're trying to hit ADC 16 my
friend. That's a 23.
A 23. That you are.
You are constituted and constituted, yeah.
OK, you pass, you pass. So you are going to take 8
damage. OK, beautiful.
Now Slake, you still cannot move towards this dragon, but I am.
On it and I have embedded my sword.
You have embedded your sword. In it, so I don't know what
you're going to do. Yeah, it's an interesting.
Conundrum. Isn't it just holding on for?
Dear life, at this point, I mean, you said I'm on the.
Side yeah. So I can't, like I assume I
can't do like a normal attack because I would lose my grip and
cat if you will allow me. So switching weapons costs one
action. But I think what I'd like to do
is I'd like to use a pick to hold on to the dragon instead so
that I can keep attacking with the sword.
So if I can, I'd like to use my action to do that, and then use
a bonus action to to attack with the sword.
You would have two weapons. I'll out.
I'll let you use your bonus
action to make one attack with the sword.
OK, Make a strength saving throw to see if you can even hang on.
That's smart. So that's going to.
Be 23. Yep, that'll do it.
You hang. On, you hang on brilliantly,
because you're much stronger than you are wise.
Yep, love. It OK.
And then yes. So I'm pulling out a pick to get
attached and then I want to plunge my sword in again with
the other arm so I will make an attack roll at disadvantage
'cause you have. Fear.
Yes. Well, my first roll.
Was only 15. OK, that does not.
Hit it. All right.
Well, you are still hanging on. It's like, And that.
That's not a bad thing. Yeah.
That's the spirit. That's the Spirit, isn't it?
All right, Mary's turn and she is still climbing up towards
Torva, making her leaps to the platforms.
However, her foot slips and she loses her concentration and the
platforms all drop again and she manages to regain her
concentration and keep them up. But she is looking up at Torva
and she is scared and she is frustrated and she is so.
Tired. And as she prepares herself to
start moving again, a voice from near where you are, Corbin
actually shouts out. Mary, my goddess.
And Corbin, you look over and see that Cecilia has emerged
onto that top platform where you are from an entrance above you.
And. She's.
Looking harrowed, her cheeks are gaunt or dark circles under her
eyes, but she looks determined, finally coming to fulfill her
promise that she made to you so long ago to help when she could.
Somebody roll me AD 20. I did it last time.
I can do. It.
I regret. I regret not.
Rolling. I guess Cecilia won't roll
yourself. Oh my God, I guess.
Cat. That's a natural one.
That's not great. Cecilia dies.
Cecilia dies instantly. She explodes.
She's pulling. Back very like, yeah.
She throws out her hands and she is going to cast fly on Mary and
as she does so Torva's eyes open and he sees her do this and he
pushes a hand out and his warhammer appears just behind
her. And she looks to you, Corbin,
and she makes eye contact and then the hammer falls, crushing
the back of her head and. She.
Crumples to the ground like a broken doll.
But she's still defiant. You can see that on her face as
a life leaves her. She's done the right thing.
Finally, she's done the right thing.
And we are back at the top. Of the order the dragon and the
dragon is going to continue to attempt to dislodge Flake from
its back and is going to make a multi attack on you.
Slake OK. Ah, so that is going to.
Be 220 ones and a natural 20. OK, those will all hit.
Oh fucking natural 20. I hope the natural 20 was a
melee attack because I can do something called Perry to reduce
the damage. It was.
It was a melee. Attack so yeah, it is going to
do 48 damage to you total. OK, so that.
Would have killed me but I have a maneuver called Perry so I can
reduce the damage. So AD 10 plus.
It's a 10, OK. So that reduces it by 12 damage.
OK, I am down to six hit points. Damn slake.
Well, nobody ever said it would. Be easy.
All right? Fran, you're up.
Oh shit. I think Fran is just going to
keep hammering on Torva. I have one spell slot left I can
use for a big hit. I think I'm going to I spear
him. In the face.
All right. And so he needs to make a dex.
Check OK. That is going to.
Be a 27. All right, Well, he's still.
Going to take 14 damage. OK, Oof.
OK. To the head he.
Is. So not looking good now.
He is barely holding on. You can just see Corbin, you can
see the damage has just accumulated on him.
Between what you guys have done to the dragon and what you've
been doing, Corbin, you and Fran wailing on him, he is coming
apart at the seams. But he is still holding on for
now. After your turn now, Fran, the
dragon is going to take one of its legendary actions, and it is
going to toss some more commanding spores down on Mr.
Ball Girl. Please have him make a Wisdom
saving throw. Jesus Christ.
All right. Oh my God, you got a natural.
20. All right.
Now. Wise, fucking wise.
Damn. All right, ball girl's.
Turn now. So he's going to do a multi?
Attack. He rolled A9A4.
And a two OK, he does. So he.
Swings wildly, but doesn't really.
He's still seeing bats. He's got bats all around him.
He's fucked up. He's fucked up by spores.
Yeah, his forehead is. Huge.
So below you. Sertinus straightens up from
where he has been knelt in the dirt, shaking this cavern, and
he looks up to see what is happening above him, then around
him, and he seems simply unimpressed.
Hey someone. Roll me AD 20 not.
Me. I'll do it.
It's Noel's turn. It's a 10.
OK, here's. What I'm going to say.
On a 10, because that's right. Oh, it's right on the edge
there, isn't it? Oh, you're not going?
To believe this. Did you roll another 10?
Wow. Destiny.
Has spoken. Nope, Nope, that's okay.
What I was looking for was either is it above A10 or below
A10 and it is once again a 9:50. So Sarah Tennis, he seems just
unimpressed, or perhaps like he's just done with this, and he
instead pulls down one of the walls of the cavern off to his
left, causing a huge landslide which hits both your troops and
buries the zombies underneath. But in doing so, in pulling down
this wall, he has destroyed the workshops where the zombies were
coming from. So those troops on the ground
who are not now buried under rubble now only need to mop up
the few remaining zombies that are on the ground.
All right. And now, Corbin, it's your turn.
OK. He's not looking good.
He's looking quite bad now. He moved.
He did to intercept. Does he seem to have returned to
his like more catatonic state or is he like awake?
He has his eyes open. Now, but he is looking like this
is taking a lot out of him. OK, He looks very strange.
OK, so Corbin. He stands there for a moment.
He looks at Cecilia and he sees the blood.
Coming out of her. Crushed skull and.
Doesn't. Even hit him the blood, yeah,
does he get? Splattered.
Yeah, and he sees that Cecilia was looking at him a moment ago,
so he goes. To Torva.
And he stands right in front of him, and he looks Torva dead in
his eye. And he casts.
Blight one last time and he used to make a con save that is going
to be. 17 Yeah, that doesn't, that doesn't.
Quite cut it. 36 necrotic damage. 36 necrotic.
Damage and Corbin. You watch as flesh is flayed
from Torva's bones, but he's still standing.
He's still holding on, and then his knees.
Bend and he sinks to the ground and he says nothing at first,
and then there is a howl that emanates from him.
And slake where you are. On the dragon, you feel the
creature buck and twist and writhe beneath you, and then it
begins to fall and. Torva.
Watches as the dragon falls and he howls.
No, no. No.
And then blood is bubbling up. Golden blood bubbles up and
spills over his black teeth. He reaches out.
At first you think he's reaching towards you, Corbin.
But then you realize. You look behind you and see Mary
has landed on the platform behind you.
And she looks at you, Corbin stunned.
Beneath you, there is a roar from your troops as the undead
all collapse as well. Torva no longer has the power to
keep all of the undead walking, and they finally rest to wait
for the God best to take them to the afterlife.
Torva heaves from. Where he lays, and he puts a
hand up to his mouth, coating it in blood, which he uses,
struggling, heaving his last breaths to draw a series of
runes on the ground. Then.
He rolls onto his back and stares up at you, and there's a
sort of strange smile on his face.
Daughter, daughter, he chokes out.
Looking at Mary, you are so much like your mother.
Mary recoils and he shakes his head and then lets it fall.
Come. Daughter, let us.
Finish. This.
The way it needs to. End.
And Mary looks at you. Corbin for a.
Second, she seems. Frozen.
And then? She signs Do you have a your?
Spear can I use your? Spear, Corbin Hands.
Her. His spear and Mary stumbles.
Forward and Torva grins or grimaces.
Do it right. He says take.
Your birthright. Do what I could.
Not. And Mary closes her.
Eyes and plunges the spear into his heart.
He spasms once. And then, as he fades away, his
face. Settles into.
Something that almost looks like relief.
Mary leans close. To him, and you see his lips
move, but you can't hear it. Then a surge of golden.
Light floods from the open wound in Torva's chest.
Mary vanishes into it, and you are forced to shield your eyes
from the sudden burst of brightness.
The light lashes out in tendrils, growing and tangling
in on itself, and then, just as suddenly, it implodes, collapses
into a single point into Mary. And she stands.
Radiant above the corpse of the God of conquest.
When she turns towards you again, Corbin, you can see that
there is a brilliant glow coming from under her shirt.
Even through the material of her armor you can see the outline
where her father had a hole in his chest.
She. Now has a glowing.
Beating heart. Turn him into a little baby bat.
I love him in a cage. I can't believe Bats killed
Torva. Yeah, Bats did this.
