Loss of Mind

A door opens on a dinner party. Holic, the Elmas, and Gippuk smile across a red-slick table, piled meat in the middle, an empty plate for each Rotgoon. Eat and you belong to whatever is cooking this. Beetle fires into a statue — and a chained man lashed to a knight's shield opens his eyes and starts to howl.

Activates the stance, A-poses, slides around with the sound of a cinder block.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
With some Gary's Mod, uh, ragdoll noises!
your subclass is mountain stance enjoyer
thank you manicus
i am your host and game master this evening i am zorn the bear and of course my first question i
have to ask is who wants to do the recap today to get two hero points so for people who may be
new to the stream or new to the show if you see the bars below the players those are not their hp
nor their levels that is a hero point bar that you and chat can help contribute um
if you donate bits on the twitch stream with the hashtag bit thing and you put hashtag the players
uh the character's name so say for example you want to give some bits to heart to fill up hearts
hero point bar uh you would have to put hashtag heart along with your bit donation and it'll go
directly to them but just a tiny little bit of a percentage of it like i don't take the total away
but an extra 30 percent of that is added to mine but i'm full up on villain points but i could go
i could go past the cap that we put of three if they mess up this recap so what player here
would like to do the recap to earn two hero points
so i did the recap last week and also i'm realizing i forgot to pee before we started
because i was so busy bantering i'm gonna pee while we do the recap but i remember what happened
i'm gonna pee while they wait for froggy to come back i i volunteered salty to do it because heart
has no hero points yep i don't get to do it yeah also the last half of the the the the session
like with lex i kind of like i feel like i suppressed it that's that's that's a reasonable response to
lex's voice why would you suppress the the the part with with with lex why i don't i don't know i
don't know why would i i don't know legs seem like a very charming lad but salty anyway salty yeah
can can i can can i can i can i get some music soren can i get some music no really we have to we have
the sound like or like just in the background yeah i'll get you i'll get you some tunes here you go
nice thank you
all right
power
power is a thing that corrupts men especially those with the greed and the the drive to seek it out
to obtain it such did creatures back in the foreign days in the past eras before the prince took them
down and stated that this is outset and the big great greatest city that the world has ever seen
was formed many years later in the same city we find our characters the rot goons
beetle gray
sleep and heart as we've all seen were were recently on a quest to seek out the blacksmith
rather try to find him supposedly this unseen character that they have yet to meet
was kidnapped by croc's gang croc being a massive philanthropist investor investor and general
criminal kingpin of this large and potent city or at least in one sector of it this search led them
to a downward spiral a literal downward spiral as they ventured deep into the underground on levels
beneath outset since outset itself even though it is the greatest city ever is actively sinking
here in the lower levels of a city no longer inhabited
one finds these four weirdos these four individuals clamored together wandering through
what is more or less ruins of what once were inhabitable spaces here they did as a few examples
um break through past a set of puzzles structured around the prince and his fellow deities of their
pantheon a few stone tablets were shifted around and in due turn the goons got to travel
deeper beneath the earth and amidst roots and tree trunks of alien origins here stim and search in hope for
finding this long lost blacksmith they find themselves traversing what later were to be known as
the old dungeon that beetle had in session zero obtained a map for
here to their surprise they already had a mapped out layer for the entirety of what they were to explore
yet none of that could prepare them for what to be seen and what to be experienced down here
in a search for a few small intricately detailed figurines of each one of these deities
they sought out a few rooms one of these rooms being a literal glimpse into the past
as then the group got to experience some of talim's last moments in his life albeit twisted and adapted to
his current more undead state a moment which took every single one of them
they traversed beyond that somehow with marks of rot lingering upon the room
it was real it wasn't just a visage
i at least i'm certain it wasn't beyond that a room closed up quickly was a passage blocked by a large
menacing eye built out of wood
and perhaps flesh but not to be sure
beyond even further they found themselves within what seemed to be a
a well not a jail but at least a locked up area a prison area where they find one very backpack
carrying around like little duder named lex with a very charming voice and personality
he after being persuaded by the team to hand over the last piece of the figurines that of the prince
they have gathered all of the missing pieces for what is supposed to be
the next puzzle that they assume will bring them something out of this dungeon
perhaps a step closer to getting their way to this lost blacksmith an entity whose name
is just preceded by it whose powers may be beyond that of a regular blacksmith
the question is what will stand in their way next
is that good enough
trappers
clapper dude golf club golf club golf club
it's very good very good so with that heart gains two hero points and try to give you one so you
have you're up to three oh yeah
but with that we will continue on with the adventure as you all are currently standing
in front of where you guys left off here let me switch things over for you
you guys are still puzzling in well last time you were dealing with lex
he didn't want to give away his uh his his print statue that he was holding it's his his sister gave
it to him yeah he was like but it's my it was my sister's and
but why do you want to take it and which you guys remember that you were placing all of the
statues and their appropriate slots here in these pedestals but there's still one enough to put in
you still have to put the prince's statuette into its slot you have to convince lex to let it go
gray kind of just like she she points at the statue that he has in i believe he's in his hand right
now yeah he's holding it he's clutching in he's looking down at the bones going like
but my sister has all of these and that was her backpack right there
let me something tells me she didn't do it right what do you mean she didn't do it right are you
making fun of my sister and he threatens you with the statue like no i'm not making fun of her lex
i'm saying she's probably not here anymore
but you be
oh
great like she takes her hands she just drags them down her face she's just
not on this mortal plane dear he's just kind of like he's not having a good time
well listen buddy hey okay just listen uh it looks like uh judging from the skeletal
remains here in this room that uh a group of people probably tried to do this puzzle already
without the piece that you have and uh i think because they didn't have that piece uh
and he gestures broadly to the skeletal remains and uh kind of wiggles his his left hand as he's facing
lex and it's the hand that is closest to the backpack that's on the floor like he's emphasizing the
backpack in particular yeah yeah do you react to my sister no no no no no no indirectly
like he said he's like putting like one of the statues of slot and he like whips back and looks at
her and he just like puts his hand out he's like what the fuck dude what it's right it's he has to hear
it it's not your fault how could they have known that this would happen how could you have known
you didn't know it's not your fault but yeah if anything it was the other people that was with her
that was the problem right right yeah yeah why didn't they go hey where's this statue he holds
of the statue he was just giving where's this one huh why didn't they remind her it's not your fault
she gave it to you for safekeeping and look you you stick with us kid everything's gonna be okay
all right we'll find out what really happened and this is just a theory maybe maybe she lived
okay you got it did i just what's wrong you might just be absolutely because she just rolled a four on
the die oh that's a four of the die that's a total of 12 though
do you want to absolutely go ahead and roll me diplomacy what do you say to lex uh as you do so
you can determine what you say after you roll if you want i was well no uh uh tilly will be like uh
yes our our little friend is right we will stick with us and uh we will find out the truth of the matter
uh we do not think it was your fault or a fault of your ever glorious sister
nice i gotta roll the 17 for 23 diplomacy
uh he uh he hands you the statue beetle and uh we're gonna we're gonna get through this pats
him on the head
and he he just kind of sobs near his presumably sister's bones
oh no all right well beetle will turn back to his actual real friends and hold the the statue up
and he'll be like wow are you guys ready for me to put it in
sure beetle puts it in beetle finds the the empty hole the vacant lot yeah he parks that boy yeah as you
do so you you place it into there and seemingly nothing happens for a while and you see that uh
lex will pretty much just take the backpack just throwing in his giant backpack that's on the ground
but you all hear uh a very loud like things just kind of like shake uh shake the area a little bit
and you hear it off to the left
that wouldn't have happened to have uh come from the area with that eyeball would it i don't know did
one of you burp what or fart what then yes i definitely think it came from the eyeball we should check that out
he just starts moving
heart stops and points at this door as long as we don't go back to you know the
that place yeah we're not going that way i'm fine i'm fine ha ha ha lex you coming
yeah lex you will come yeah
if we find the person that you know made your sister die you get first dibs on killing them
okay
no wait how old are you
old enough
heart nicks and holds over his shield and goes here we go
just in case
nice and he takes your shield he holds it up which are two hands nice
it's so you go in front you have the light yeah it's so he won't die
you go to the door and i assume you try to open it
yeah um you notice it you with all of your ghostly might it goes through the doorknob as you use your
mage hand and stuff uh it will not open it's solid oh uh to label i turn around he's like i
think the door is locked yeah okay funny prank buddy
what do you mean the door is locked it what what do you mean the door is locked
it what let me go take the little figurine out of the hole again yeah
um as beetle like goes like take the figurine till he's like wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
he freezes
perhaps we should not tinker with that just yet considering previous results
well we can't go through that door over there
perhaps we must
uh perhaps we don't
we don't
we may have to uh perhaps may we don't need to
the
look beetle uh i have in the past been through various uh tombs as a uh as a porter and areas
like this are commonly laden with mechanisms that you must follow the guidelines of or
suffer consequences oh oh is this like delver stuff i would assume so
can't we just i want to be a delver yeah why can't we just get hard to break down that door because
that door i want to open it you know what i'm saying i want to not i want to open it
oh yeah lex if we go through that door just look at my like calves or something you know don't look
up don't look up don't look up don't look up dude okay okay
you can always try breaking it down
i want to get out of here too
let's have her try and break that door down and then you know worst case we could open the
the dorant door the open and dorant yeah yeah let me try let me at least try okay uh heart
pulls out his crowbar okay uh and with my funny kno bar i want to force open the funny
i slowly roll me athletics heck yeah good dude dude roll it dude i rolled that for a total of 15.
the fuck but uh i have hero points thanks thanks so much chat thanks so much and i will
and keep the new result that's a nat 20 baby yeah there you go so with your natural 20
uh total of 33 you're able to open the door go ahead
oh it's nowhere and i can't see the funny symbol
oh sorry sorry give me a moment
as you do so as you do so you see that there is a large green eye in the walls and the brick
and everything else around it has changed is that the thing that you guys talked about
are you sure echoing in the in the walls as soon as you open it
heart leans a bit out to look down the move a space up so you can see yeah right now you see the all the
hallways and for some reason it's not showing vision for chat i'm gonna drag you to lane just
to kind of show people um you see the walls left and right are covered in this like destroyed messed
up brick with bits of lines of flesh all lining throughout the walls and you see more eyes and
they all quickly look down at you as soon as you poke your head out they're all looking at you
very curious tentacles are spruning out when you saw branches and stuff last time they seemed to
undulate just a little bit more
is this normal
okay okay
heart starts closing the door after chileem steps back in
as you try to uh close the door you notice it there as you go into you see something stops it just
you see tendrils you see you see tendrils just kind of like to trying to push its way past the
door but it can't seem that it touches the stone that you are in and it's like it's like it's
patting it like it keeps trying to gain footing in but i can't do it but it's within like the hinges
of the door preventing you from fully closing it
oh okay let's try the door and
you continue to hear crying heart turns back and goes do trees do this like everywhere
gray shakes her head rapidly like they don't do this at home so i'm just curious
no they do not do this naturally i don't know what this flora is
if it is does it does it does it smell okay it smells like meat meat's in blood and i love meat
oh i love eat a carnice that's my favorite it's like smelling rotten copper
okay hmm i'm thinking arby's
oh
narrative decoration brought to you today by our sponsor arby's we've got not affiliated not
affiliated not affiliated it's a joke it's a joke it's a joke
yet
heart nods looks at all of this and goes okay so the door can't close uh
Uh, so where do you guys want to go?
You don't seem to be that into the meeting.
Would you like to try to force it closed?
Yeah.
Roll me in athletics.
Okay.
Lifting belt applies.
Oh, yeah, buddy!
Oh!
I rolled a natural 3 for 16!
You feel it's good enough, because I haven't got quite a grab yet, and...
No, I got it!
Oh, thank god!
Gives a thumbs up as the doors start smelling like rotten meat.
Do we try the Dorant?
Yeah, great job, buddy!
Try the Dorant!
Okay, Lex, remember, just look at my calves.
Don't look at anything.
Don't look up, okay?
He looks around with his hair over his eyes.
Okay.
Yeah, just look down.
Hold the shield up.
Don't worry about things.
Just follow me.
Okay.
Okay.
Poor lad.
What do you mean, poor lad?
We wanted to get rid of him last session.
I would like to...
It wasn't, times change!
All right, try out the other door.
Also, I'd like to get out my Giselle.
Okay, take out your gun.
Yeah, I'd like to just take it out, just to have it.
Yeah, just to have it on hand.
Beetle, what do you...
Beetle, what do you have?
Beetle, what do you have?
A gun!
Heart wants to put the hand on Talim's shoulder, but once again, he is a ghost.
So, like, Heart hovers his hand, and he goes, hey, I know that, like, the last time we went in there, some pretty heavy things happened.
So, I feel bad to ask, but do you want to go in there first?
Talim, like, kind of, uh, like, looks up at Heart...
I can do it!
And he looks back at the door, he's like...
He's like, I...
Did it?
I don't seem to remember most of it.
Talim, it was...
It was really bad.
It was really bad.
It was really bad, Talim.
It was, like, on a level of my dad to my dad when he's mad.
This was kind of bad.
Can confirm it was very bad.
My last shirt, like, clears it up!
I'm sorry.
I don't have good references for this.
I'm gonna open the door.
Like, most things that people call bad, I just go, like, okay.
Talim, like, kind of, like, looks at Heart, he's like...
He's like, it's...
It's fine.
It...
I...
I'm sure we'll be okay.
Okay!
Just talk to me if you need it.
I'll open the door if you, uh...
I'll open the door if you just want to keep the light on me.
You open the door back to the similar hallway you saw before.
The walls have not changed, but you notice that there is a large boulder that has caved in from the ceiling.
Pretty much the hallway was continuing down.
If you took the left and went down, you did have a pathway before, but now it seems to be blocked with a large boulder and several bits of debris.
Great.
Great.
That's...
No, that's good news!
Cause that's how we connect with the...
That's one of the ways we can connect with the other hallway, and the other hallway is, uh, occupado.
So, we could just keep going and see if it's okay.
We're about to hit the nopes.
Nope room.
Grace going to carefully go around.
Uh, she's gonna check out the boulder a little bit, uh, make sure that it's stable, so nothing else is gonna go falling down on them as they go through this, uh, hallway.
Absolutely.
Mm-hmm.
Keep going.
Coming along, Lex?
Oh yeah, he's coming.
Oh yeah!
Lex, Lex, why don't you go in front of Heart, and then I'll go behind you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just so you're in, you know? You're packed in.
I can't believe that Beetle is using Lex as a human shield.
No!
Wait, it's too loud.
I can't.
Beetle crawls up onto the backpack like a snow sniper tower.
So you come up to the door, Gray, and you hear just clattering of stuff, like kind of metal, as if on plates.
And you just hear some laughing in the back, like,
You know, like someone's having a good time.
Oh no!
Her brow furrows as she like pushes her ear up against the door, trying to hear anything distinct.
Um, she looks back at the group, she's like, there's someone in there.
Ah, or there isn't, and it's like before.
Um, probably, but it's different.
And so he will look back and it's like, there at least is probably something in there.
There's definitely something in there, yes.
Pretending to be other things.
So he will, uh, pull out his sword and, uh, be at the ready as the, uh, uh, brooch continues to provide light.
Uh, Gray's going to.
Cyber tower was a good idea.
So Fidel's going to climb up on the backpack so he can see at ready as gun.
Absolutely.
I'll just consider where Lex's token is you're at.
Okay, sick.
All right.
So Gray's going to reach over her shoulder for a crossbow with one hand and open the door with the other.
Absolutely.
Go ahead.
You open up the door and you see that it's people you know.
What?
It's what?
Holick and the Thel- and the Elmas and, and, uh, a kobold you've met before named Gippuk.
They all seem to be having a lovely dinner.
And like, oh, this is very nice.
Oh, we have guests.
It's so good to see you, friends.
You see, Holick will wave at you all and, and, uh, Helma and Thelma will look at both of you going like,
that, going, yeah, it's really nice to see, see your kids again.
Come on, sit down.
Come have a, come have a bite to eat.
All right.
All right.
I was the ones who tried to take my hunting spot, but, hey, I found a better one.
Come, come get the meat.
We found something delectable.
And you see Gippuk, the kobold, is just greedily eating some meat that's on a plate.
Oh.
And around you see that there's a lit fireplace, a statue over in the corner, and, uh, several candle
lights that Gray is currently sitting on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can fit in there.
You can fit in there.
You can fit in there.
It's okay.
You're just real close to it.
Her mane catches fire.
Well, I mean, somebody did point out the other day that, uh, what is it?
Uh, hyenas are more closely ready to cats than dogs.
So, I mean, if Gray Fitch, she sits.
It's true!
It's true!
Goddammit!
Um, I will pass on the food.
I'm not exactly very hungry.
Yeah, thanks a lot!
But thank you for offering.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much!
We're just passing through again!
Oh, come now, you can't, you can't deny any hospitality.
The door shuts.
Oh!
Come now, comes and said I didn't hunt for several days for nothing.
Come, sit, sit, enjoy the food.
Now, the gibbuck that we know wouldn't share anything that was his, but, uh, nice try!
What do you mean I shared with you my hunting spot, and it seems to be doing you pretty good.
Uh-huh, you were nasty about it, and it was like pulling teeth to get it!
No, it was just business!
And everyone at the table laughs.
Ah, yeah!
Gray's going to take a very deep whiff to try and see if there's anything that smells off here.
She knows there's something off here, but she wants to know for sure.
Roll me perception.
I believe in you, you can do it.
Yeah, 17 for a total of 24.
Woo!
It's, it's cooked meat.
Cooked meat, pies, everything else, but with your roll, you notice that, uh, there is a off smell about the drinks and the meat that they are eating.
Something to wear in, along with the center dish that you see on the table of just, seems to have been picked clean.
The bones are still there and bits of, you know, just remains are pretty much blood and stuff, uh, from the meat or whatever the cellulite stuff is that makes it all red or whatever.
And, uh, they all seem to be just digging into it.
Oh, oh, Dad, thank you for the offer, but no, I will, I will pass.
Don't, don't eat it, don't drink it, don't even think about it.
Come on, dearie!
You see, you see Helma at her chair, just, just going at it or whatever, like, come on, come on, just...
It's so good, dearie, you did such a good job!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Sorry, just about that caught me.
Thanks!
I got my best!
But, uh…
Hark, Hark stares over at the person that tends to be the most talkative whenever he's in a room and talking to any one of us.
Mm-hmm.
He's been quiet the entire time.
Hulak's just been sipping on one of the, uh, uh, just sipping on one of the drinks there.
You know, just, like, holding it like a teacup, like, holding the saucer and the thing, just, just, just, just, just a smiling, having a seemingly good time.
Hey, Hulak, how, how did you, um, did you get anything back on those horses, huh?
No, I still haven't found them.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
And he kind of just takes another sip.
Uh…
Man, you seem pretty beat up about it last time.
Oh, internally I'm infuriated.
Okay, that actually seems on brand.
That actually seems on brand.
The Hulak's on brand!
This might be him.
No.
Uh, perhaps we should, if not enjoy the meal and drink, at least entertain our guests, or entertain our hosts.
Huh?
Please sit.
Perhaps the, perhaps the four of you, and you'll, like, motion to everybody who has a corporeal body, uh, should have a seat, and let's have a conversation.
No, no, no, no, no, no, you shouldn't go anywhere near even the rug, the foot of the rug, don't cross it.
You don't remember what the room was like before, but, uh, hey, this lizard does, you know what I'm saying? I got a big IQ.
Come on, give it a try.
It's very delectable, we save plates for all of you, our friends.
Lex, are you seeing this?
He looks down at the kid.
Lex looks at you, hair covering his eyes.
What?
Can I, so, this metal armor guy, armor stand, is that actually, that's there? We can see that?
Yeah.
You can see it.
We don't squids at it.
Can I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Can I shoot it?
Absolutely.
Okay.
I can't target it, so I'm just going to roll my gazaal.
No, it's okay, yeah, yeah.
You just aim at it and go, BLAM!
Yeah, he looks at it squinting and he shoots it, and that is a natural 20.
Roll me damage.
Absolutely.
Five!
Oh no, it was a crit, it's a critical!
Yeah, it's a crit, yeah.
Let me re-roll.
Four!
It's not even a d8, it's actually a d12 with that gun.
What?
Why is it?
Yeah, you're holding it, holding it one hand right now.
Oh, okay.
Oh, sorry about that.
What the fuck?
I assume you're holding it two hand, right?
Yes, yes, it's the only thing you got.
Go ahead.
Okay, there we go.
Change to two hand.
There we go.
Let me do that again.
Sorry about that.
Jesus.
There you go.
Okay, 29.
29.
I'm like, this is very low.
Points of damage.
So, as you do so, you hear a pow, and everyone on the table just kind of looks at the statue
as you fire, and you hear a...
And what you see that this statue looks like, without getting a super good look at it, that
it looks something like this.
You see that this statue...
I knew it!
I knew the statue was so sick!
You see that this statue seems like a heavily armored dark looking knight.
And the helmet that it has, it had spikes and feather ornaments over onto its shoulder.
And it had a shield.
It was kind of out of your sight.
And you see as soon as you go blam and hit it, and you blow some chunks off of its armor
onto the side.
You see it kind of...
And it kind of like shifts a little bit.
And the left hand grabs this shield, and you see that there is kind of like a withering
man on it.
And he seems to have just been awakened by the loud noise and starts howling.
Going...
And it shifts to you.
It shifts to you, and we're going to set up for combat.
A kobold instinct for danger.
Oh god!
Well, this is terrifying.
He's an investigator for a reason, everyone.
Are those legs dangling out of that shield, chat?
That is an entire person's chained to that shield.
That is a whole guy chained to the shield.
Guys!
That's a whole man's.
And...
Yup!
I see it!
Yeah.
Beetle screams, guys, and like swings a gesturing hand at it like, look, look, did you see it?
Which is like the stupidest fucking reaction to this thing over dramatically picking up its
shield in the most noticeable way.
Once red circle appears, big arrow, did you see it?
Did you see it?
Did you see it?
Okay.
Alright.
Should we just roll for initiative?
Or...
Yes.
I need to get Beetle in there.
There you go.
It might look a little messed up on your end.
I'm not sure.
I added a mod, and I think it messed some stuff up.
Regardless, go ahead and roll initiative.
Whichever you prefer.
All perception on this one, if you please.
Yes.
Okey-dokey.
Oh, two natural ones.
Is that a 20?
Oh my god!
Is that a 20?
Oh my god!
Is that a 20?
Oh my god!
Is that a 20?
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Is that a 20?
Oh my god!
Is that a 20?
Is that a 20?
Oh my god!
What in the goon?
Uh...
Minerva, you didn't do the initiative button, but I can...
What?
I can add you in there.
Oh shit.
I hit the wrong button.
I'm gonna...
It's still a plus seven.
I'm gonna click this.
It's still a plus seven.
Yeah, I'm gonna click this, and then just move.
Okay.
Okay.
I like you.
No problem.
Alright.
And of course, it will begin to roll.
Oh.
It didn't roll as high, but it's still pretty good.
Um...
Gray.
It's your go.
You see this thing shifting, just...
Go for you.
You see it has...
It takes a long kind of like...
Um...
It takes like this sword-like thing, and it kind of like...
Like kind of rolls its fingers a bit, and the sword, pretty much the handle...
Extends, so it's like a longer shaft to it, so it pretty much turns itself into a glaive-like thing,
and it slams it on the ground.
It has its shield ready.
What do you do?
Gonna...
Is, uh, declare it my, uh, hunted prey.
Um, gonna...
Take out my...
Got my crossbow already out, so I don't have to worry about taking it out already.
Uh, and I'm gonna just try and aim for the, like, in between the eyes.
Okay, let's see it.
This is...
18 for a total of 27.
You hit it.
You hit it.
Roll that damage, baby.
Uh, two.
It...
You see, it would take the two points of damage.
Okay.
But you see, with its shield and its arm is cring, cring, and it just...
Nothing happens.
Oh.
Oh!
Gray kind of just stops and goes,
Oh.
Oh no!
Oh, it's its turn.
It will...
And it'll see, it'll see, um...
Heart in front of it, but with its glaive, from a distance, it basically just aims it forward and...
Just stabs it in front, in front to hit Heart.
So it will try to stab at you, Heart.
With a natural 20.
Oh no!
Oh no!
No!
You really need to fix that sound bite.
You really need to fix that sound bite.
This is not glorious.
This is happening.
This is the worst.
Not bad!
It rolls, it rolls, it hits you for 24 points of damage, Heart.
Oh my god!
Yeah.
Holy...
And it whips around for another strike.
Whoosh!
And it misses, assumingly hard.
You probably dodge it or block it or anything else, knowing that it hit you the first time.
You expect it, you see it coming.
And that's the end of its turn.
Now we go to Talim.
Um...
Hmm...
During this time, Talim, you notice all of them, like the...
The...
The...
Look at it go!
And you see Gibbux is laughing and Hollix is snickering behind a... behind a hand.
They're all just, uh, sitting there cackling.
Right?
Yeah, they're cackling.
They're having a good time.
Okay.
Well...
Uh...
Let me...
Okay.
Yeah, that is two actions.
All right.
So...
Talim will actually, as...
Heart...
Takes that blow full on.
Uh...
And, uh...
I assume clay chunks and everything fly everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Yeah.
Uh...
Talim will actually, uh...
Surge through, uh...
Heart.
Just fully pass through him.
Yeah.
And, uh...
Uh...
Confront the...
The...
The glaive-wielding warrior.
And as he moves up, he actually will, uh...
Take his AFS coil, whip around with it, and, uh...
And, uh...
Do a spell strike using, uh...
Shielding strike.
All right.
Let's see it.
Nice!
Or...
Well, actually, uh...
Oh...
Wait.
Is it...
Is it a spell strike using...
Hold on.
Let me...
Let me look real quick.
As your attacker foe, uh...
Warding magic transforms your momentum into action...
It's a focus spell.
You don't spell strike it.
Okay.
Okay.
So, it's only one action.
Yeah.
So, I will actually cast shielding strike.
Yes.
Um...
You already moved once.
So, that's one action.
Yeah.
This will be your second action.
Okay.
This will be my second action.
And that, uh...
Let me target him.
Low?
Oh.
Yeah.
Here we go.
So, you can't spell strike because that's two actions.
You have to normally hit him.
But you can enter arcane cascade.
Yeah.
And that's what I'll be doing is I'll be using, uh...
I'll be using my focus spell shielding strike to do a melee attack,
and as part of that, raise my shield,
because that's how shielding strike works.
And...
let me do that, which is a regular strike.
This...
Well...
Nice!
Oh!
That's one 20!
The magic crits!
Yay!
All right!
Strong start!
And so, we roll the critical damage for that, which is, uh, 22,
and as part of that, um, as Talim spins around,
brings the blade across, uh, the armored figure,
uh, he ends with his shield raised in front of him,
and the...
he will enter into, uh, arcane cascade stance,
as the energy of that spell continues to flow through his blade
and his shield.
And that will be the end of my turn.
As you do so, as you come in with your, uh, strike,
it hits so hard, you smash into the shield or so,
your blade goes in, and it kind of goes in through the guy,
and he's going...
And it, like, it breaks the shield.
You see, it's like, it was, like, just weaker metal than you thought.
It goes through and it goes through its hand, like,
through its arm and everything that it's holding behind the shield.
It just kind of crumbles and everything.
And you see its, like, left arm just pretty much destroyed
with how powerful the strike was.
Now you feel like it's, it seems weakened.
It seems just struggling to kind of go with what it is.
But you notice that in the holes, there's nothing inside the armor.
Can...
Beetle shout over the conflict?
Like, can I say something in character here?
Yeah.
Guys!
Okay, remember not to go into the rug
because there's a puddle of rot there!
Also, try hitting the guy strapped to the shield!
Get him!
Oh, the guy is gone.
The guy is gone.
He's, he's fallen down on the ground.
Oh, I thought he was still strapped to the shield.
Okay, okay, okay.
He's broken.
Like, it's all gone now.
So...
Okay, got you, got you!
It's your turn though, Beetle.
Oh, fuck!
Cabal.
Cabal.
Before, before Beetle acts anything.
Yeah, yeah.
I was just gonna mention.
Okay.
Remember to raise your shield.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got it.
Raising your shield's a...
Yeah, yeah, you got it.
Keep going.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm gonna go pivot on top of Lex's backpack and shoot Gippuk.
Shoot Gippuk?
Shoot, shoot Gippuk.
Gip, Gippuk.
Sorry.
Or sorry, I'm devising, sorry.
I'm devising a strategy.
I've got that checked off.
Okay.
I wanna see what happens if I shoot Gippuk.
Okay.
So that's a five for the total of 13 to hit.
I hit.
Okay.
Then I'm going to shoot Gippuk.
Gippuk, Gippuk, Gippuk, Gippuk.
That's a seven damage.
You shoot him and he immediately dies.
He gets stupid.
He just kind of slumps in the chair and is dead.
Does he melt into rot or anything?
He just sits there, body dead.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I reload and...
Do I have one more turn?
Nope.
Or is he reloading the last one?
No, I'm out.
Okay.
So I'm going to reload and end with that.
Due to this not being your current lead,
you need to spend an action to go discombobulate.
Right.
Right.
Thank you.
Yeah.
All right.
Heart.
Cool.
This is not good.
It's bad.
And in such a bad case...
Do you still have a potion?
We have a lot of potions.
We have a lot of potions.
Yeah.
So maybe rest after this could be neat.
But Heart will...
He will...
He will harden.
He...
He...
He...
He will go hard as he goes into mountains.
Okay!
Uh...
Raising his AC.
Uh...
And...
He will...
Do a...
Cool little thingy.
As I perform a step.
For everyone who does...
I'm a big steppy.
For everyone who doesn't...
For one...
For everyone who doesn't know what a step is.
Due to this evil looking dude here.
Looking real Marshall-like.
I am afraid of moving within his reach.
Uh...
And therefore I will do a step.
A step...
Is not like a stride.
Where you move your entire movement.
But instead you move five feet.
But you do not provoke any reactions.
That would provoke out of movement.
Meaning that...
Attack of opportunity...
Won't apply...
If the stupid guy is here.
So Heart will literally just...
Slide.
Arms crossed.
Across the ground.
Over here.
And...
Uh...
Then he will...
Stare off.
At this guy.
As my third and final action.
Will be to use...
Flurry of blows.
Which allows me...
To strike twice.
For...
One action.
I swing.
Desecrate baby.
Are you serious?
Yo!
Oh my god!
Oh...
Mooda mooda mooda mooda mooda!
That's for 18 damage.
And then my second attack.
Second attack.
That's a natural...
That's a natural...
Natural one, baby!
That's a complication!
Had to make up for it.
Had to make up for it.
Um...
It's the complication!
Give me the complications.
Give me the complications, Thor.
Yeah, I gotta...
I gotta find it.
Just, uh...
Just roleplay as you go, uh...
Okay.
Describing...
Uh, what you're doing.
Like, you're punching into this guy.
Do-do-do-do-do, you know?
Yeah.
So, since his massive glaive had punctured in...
Into him...
Uh...
I would like for that to remain there.
And his failed attack was literally that he just pulled it back against Heart's body.
And in his action of doing that, Talim flies forth.
It's not that he has pulled back his weapon.
It's that it's still there.
So, when Heart is moving up, um...
He is...
In this entire flurry of Talim slapping out his sword against this guy.
Heart comes in from the side.
And when his guard is down, when the shield drops, uh...
Heart just songs his entire fist into this guy's, like, lower abdomen.
Where, like, presumably a liver or a kidney would be.
I, uh, I have one that I'm definitely going to use that I can apply to things.
Remember, if you, too, want to affect what happens to our players when they roll a natural one,
that they cannot re-roll with hero points.
Uh, I didn't do it on their initiative thing because I decided to pass that or whatever.
Um, but for in-game stuff, this is what I like to do it on.
So, if you, too, want to affect what happens to our players that they roll a natural one,
you can go to patreon.com forward slash narrative declaration and, uh, submit your thing.
And one thing I have to ask people who do submit, don't make it character specific,
because I have had to skip through a huge chunk of them.
He was just like, I want only this character for it to happen.
And I'm like, nope, not going to use it.
So, you got to make it more broad if you want them to be used.
Uh, but I want to take this one from Call Me Pooksy.
It says, an un-ap-appealing accident is the name of this complication.
Some careless passerby threw a banana peel on the ground.
The PC slash NPC slips and is prone.
Can I, can it thematically be that the weird room doesn't, it looks different from what it actually is?
So, Heart slips in, like, the rot mud, whatever?
Nope!
Holoc is gonna just throw some food on the ground.
And you go, and then just throw something there, causing you to slip.
You're betrayed!
Betrayed!
I can't believe that Heart tripped on a chicken bone!
So, you are currently...
Banana peel.
Banana peel.
Whipperel!
Whipperel!
Holoc cart.
Gray, it is your turn.
Oh!
I'm sorry, I'm still reeling from just the fact that Heart basically got banana peeled.
As you, as it starts your turn, Gray, at the start of a new round, you see that, um,
Mama, Helma, and Thelma, uh, move over to where Gippic's body was, and places him on top of...
Forgive me here, I'm trying to find the right thing for it.
Ew.
And basically places him on top of, uh, the table there.
Oh!
What?
This kind of drags his body, moving all the silverware, and starts cutting into him.
Oh!
Gray doesn't like this imagery very much.
Don't mind those damage, it's just a good show.
Go ahead, Gray.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna shoot the Elmas.
I'm shooting the Elmas!
Grandma on Grandma action!
Yes!
I...
No.
Grandma on Grandma violence!
This is Grandma on Grandma violence.
That is correct.
Okay!
This is messed up!
I know it is messed up!
It is messed up!
But God!
The symmetry is bad and awful!
That's what makes it good!
I like how Ironclad Golf and Chad is just like,
Meats back on the menu, boys!
Uh, okay, okay, uh, I get them mixed up all the time.
Uh, I'm currently targeting, uh, not the glasses one.
Helma.
Okay.
Elma.
Elma, okay.
Okay, go ahead.
The least liked of the Elmas.
The most...
The most...
You roll the natural one!
Are you kidding me?!
Oh my God!
And you can't reroll it!
It's time for another complication!
I can't!
I can't!
No!
Oh!
The grandmas are too powerful!
The grandmas are too powerful!
Let's see!
Oh!
Let's see.
This will be so bad.
Everything is terrible!
I'm gonna be in trouble!
Okay, I am...
I already used something for this person.
We're gonna do this one.
Uh, let's see.
Da-da-da!
Everything is awful!
Everything sucks!
It's so fucking lame!
We can only crit and crit fan.
We are the beast or famine party.
Like, there is no in-between.
Oh, this is...
This is a fun one.
Thank you, Toadbear, for this complication called,
well, may as well be a plot hole.
Oh, that's where it went.
On how it reads, when making a range attack,
the projectile missing its intended target ricochets or falls
in some conveniently placed hole, pipe, or portal into another plane,
disappearing.
The game master may later spend a villain point, or not,
to invoke the second half of the complication of,
oh, that's where it went,
where the projectile finally reaches the egress of its travels
and is hurled at a target of the game master's choosing.
The projectile had a fuse, the fuse da-da-da-da-da-da,
and it's not the...
Okay.
Oh, no!
It said, you gotta put, like, don't hint at the second half,
but I have to explain it anyway.
But so, regardless, thank you for that complication.
That's a great complication.
That's what I'd like to see.
Great.
You literally put an arrow in Soren's quiver.
Yeah.
So I...
So this is how I'm gonna handle it.
I get a free shot at any of you.
Oh.
Oh, no.
And I'm going to roll a 1d4,
and it's going to be heart is number one,
Talene's number two,
Beetle's number three,
and Gray's number four.
I swear to the gods,
if Talene gets shot in the back...
I get shot!
Oh, no!
So this is what happens.
Gray, you kinda aim,
you aim your crossbow over at Helma,
and she looks at you, she just smiles.
She smiles as she's just cutting into this cobalt with a knife,
and as you fire, she goes...
She just kinda leans to the side a little bit,
and the curtains that you see behind you,
normally, like, have been closed,
but as you go,
as your arrow goes through,
you see a bit of a hint,
and you see it's another eye behind the curtain,
and it kinda goes back in,
it kinda loses itself in there,
but the curtain over,
the curtain says over to the right of this room,
as this is a very ornate, big, long table,
with a bunch of fancy, kinda Victorian-era-looking carvings
of the wall,
very pretty-looking.
Um, the curtain goes,
whoosh,
and the arrow goes right back at you,
roll me your normal damage.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Oh, I forgot to roll damage.
Yeah, you do the damage, not the hit.
I'm an idiot.
I'm an idiot.
At least they're not your hunted prey.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
You take six points of damage,
your bolt gets you right in your arm.
Ugh!
Great's gonna kinda just slide against the floor
and just sit there for a second,
she's- she's having a time.
You have a-
I assume you're gonna reload?
Yeah.
Yep, I'm reloading.
You shot, reloading,
and I assume you wanna shoot again, or?
Yep, we're gonna try that again.
What's more with gusto?
And that's the minus five, correct?
Yep.
It's a miss, baby, with a total of nine.
You miss Halma, and she just laughs.
Yeah, Grey's just got—her pride has been bruised more than her actual body.
She's just going to sit there.
The suit of armor looks at you, Talim.
Yes.
And you will see, like, with accurate precision, stabs into you.
Even with your shield, it gets past your defenses.
He's able to maneuver skillfully with one arm.
Bam!
Gets you in there.
It hurts.
And you can tell that this blade it's holding is magical.
Or magical imbued in some way.
So it stings into you, affecting your ghostly vengeance and hits you for nine points of damage.
It goes, whips around again.
And as it tries to whip to, it kind of does this cool move where it kind of takes its hand, like, un—like, lets go of the glaive, takes its gauntlet, and just punches at you.
And it misses.
It misses it.
And for its last action, it will pick up its glaive.
Orbs, I dropped this.
Sorry.
One second.
Talim, it's your go.
It is my go.
All right.
So, um, oh, I wasn't gonna do a thing, but we've got legs standing there blind as a bat.
Heart has fallen over.
Uh, I heard a crossbow fire, and then Gray go, ah, my arm!
Yes, exactly like that.
So, everything is going bad.
Um, Talim will, uh, target the suit of armor in front of him, and he will unleash a spell strike with, ah—oh, wait, did I close my character sheet? I did!
I have to keep my character sheet, like, open in the window, because if I try and pop it out, it doesn't want to work half the time.
Yeah, it happens to me sometimes, too.
All right, so he will do a spell strike, and as part of that, he will, uh, target that fella, and do his normal attack.
Which, if I can find the action—there we go.
And that is a, uh, a 10 for a total of 19.
Nice!
He hit it!
Which is a hit, and he will do the damage from that.
And as part of that action, he is casting, uh, produce flame, which I should have said, uh, in the beginning.
Um, so basically, she's, uh, cast coil in fire as he cuts into the armor.
Nice, so go ahead and, uh, roll the damage for it.
All right, and that is a total of, uh, six fire damage, along with the, uh, the 13 slashing.
As you do so with your magical fire kind of go—going into the strike, you see the fire just kind of explodes from its element,
goes from every little crevice and opening inside the armor, and you see it just dissipates.
It just dissipates by dust.
It just goes .
And it basically fades away.
Ha!
And, uh, at that time, he will, uh, will turn, and it's like, time to clear out the rest.
You see that the El—the presumably Elmas, they're just cutting into good ol' Gipic, now deceased, and they're just munching on him.
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
We'll, and he'll be like, clap, clap, clap, clap.
He's like, good job.
It was just a delightful show, and he even brought us dinner.
Mm.
Ahhh...
Liam just kind of like narrows his eyes like I'm sure you enjoyed it now how about for an
encore and he'll like look back at um it was a problem last time he go ahead oh I was gonna
say he looks back at uh beetle and crocus and he just like motions like if you would
do the honors I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you Zoran no it's okay because uh as as you
guys get ready to do the thing that uh you hear Helmaga he's so much better than what
the other person provided what was his name Buck
who crying all throughout the way
you have them to continue to eat eat the kobold
can I do a uh oh god what is it um
is there a thing like what you're trying to do tell me what you're trying to do yeah recall
knowledge is like for certain things if you're trying to tell me what you're trying to recall
I'm trying to recall like is the Buck sounds like a familiar name like somebody that we should know
yeah did they say Brug or Buck sorry I said it's Brug my bad for some reason I said Buck my bad
okay oh all right I was so confused yeah sorry I was thinking of another name at the same time
to potentially follow up with it my bad they they said Brug I apologize
I don't know it's good
go ahead where's Brug what did Brug bring you what did Brug do
he shoots the Elmas
he brought he brought his lunch he did
and then I hear the gunfire and which one do you shoot

I want to reuse that last complication because it fits here
what's happening

one through four
one through four
Talim roll the normal damage
would she deflect the bullet with her fork
no she just moves it to the side again it goes right behind her through through the window behind her and it goes out one of the other curtains
I'll click it for you
here's my question Zoran
yes
did I get shot in the back
mm-hmm
you get a flashback of what happened years ago
Talim like he takes the shot in the back and you hear him go
and like he like starts to fall forward
why would you do that to me I feel terrible
hey Zoran
like he starts to lose grip on his sword and he whips around and he looks at Beatle with this like a piercing gaze of hate
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
hey Zoran
hi I'm Zoran
as heart rises up from his prone situation
um
I want to flip the table
okay
and I want to flip it
that way
remove the prone condition
and uh roll me athletics
yeah
let's go
I rolled an 18 for a total of 31
it's that enough to flip the table
absolutely
you
like everything flies
the eaten
partially eaten course of Gippig just
goes off to the way
the helmas kind of look at each other
you see for the moment
just kind of look at each other
like lovingly
look back at you
just smiling
and then
just like
they
they disappear
after you flip the table
after you're seemingly crushing them
they just go away
and then
Haldick is still sitting there
tableless now
just sipping on his drink
going like
what a fantastic display
you will do nicely
Mark walks over to the individual
who threw food at him
to down him
and reaches out
with a hand
he doesn't care
he doesn't care if this is rot things
he reaches out his hand
to try to grasp this individual
you bring your hand over
and one of your bracers
is replaced by
the talisman
that has the red gem on it
you go in for it
and Haldick kind of looks at your hand
as it barely gets to him
as you're just trying
to just reach in there
you're just trying
to grab onto it
and
and Haldick
kind of looks down on it
and goes
you will always such a
such the brutal one
aren't you
you'll do nicely
and we'll see what happens next
when we come right back
from our break
what no way
way
in this time and day
in this economy
right in front of my cereal box
you rat bastard
with a fish
she did what now
that's right
I did it
welcome back everybody
after the break
either we put an ad there
or it just
in the magic of video editing
it went back
welcome back everyone
but uh
Heart was trying
to do a big strangle
big old grippers
over on uh
what they would presume
would be Haldick
but
but the talisman
that has been with you guys
is randomly going
here and there
it's on your wrists now
Heart
and Haldick
is just
just sipping on his drink
and is looking at you
going like
Heart's hand
is like shaking
just trying
to reach closer
and closer
and one can see
like how
the clay skin
on his body
is like cracking
just by
by how much
he's like
biting down
on his lips
eyes staring
just reaching out
towards
Haldick's neck
but he can't get it
and he just
and he just
mutters to himself
why do you test me?
I'm not testing you
I'm just saying
how you react
to certain things
just seeing
if you can
actually go
and do
what I need
you to do
now
can the rest
of us hear this
as well?
yeah
everyone's saying
what's happening
do we look like
the little fucking
Aaron boys?
I load my gun
yes
alright you load your gun
what you doing Beetle?
well does
does anybody
like
would anyone
like to
say or do anything
before I
shoot him
while I'm loading my gun?
after
Chalene tears
the hateful
ghostly gaze
away from Beetle
after being
shot in the back
he um
said he was sorry
shot me in the back
we're sorry
looks over at the
uh
definitely
definitely not
Holic
and it's just like
you want to test us
to see what we can do
perhaps
we would be able
to perform
whatever
task
you desire
if you were to just
be outright
with it
Holic
he kind of
sips
again
and he will
kind of
look at Beetle's gun
just kind of
waiting
and he kind of
takes one of his
one of his fingers
and starts tapping
just
just kind of
rolling his fingers
and tapping on the table
as he's just
staring at the gun
okay
I shoot him
alright go ahead
I give it to him
I give it to him
just like how he wants it
I give it to him good
I
naturally
don't give it to him
I don't give it to him
I give it to myself
I take the bullet
and I shove it up my own ass
I'm a fucking idiot
god damn
I take my gun
and I sit
and I spin on it
fuck
roll the d4
Soren
let me say
there's another complication
I don't want to cheat
give me a new one
I don't want to cheat people
no
it's not enough
it's thematic now
it's thematic now
fine fine
okay
he goes on
so one through four
Talim again
oh my god
shoots him in the back again
other shoulder
Talim like
tumbles forward
he's like
I'm biting guns
he starts to move
towards beetle
he scrambles back
on Lux's backpack
he's like
got his hands up
he's like
hey soren
I'm snoring
can Heart
take
uh
Holic's share
can he
can he
touch the share
yeah
with the other hand
go for it
yeah
with the other hand
right
I have two hands
I can't believe
Heart has two hands
I have two hands
uh
Soren
okay
I grab the share
okay
there's a fireplace
right there
right
oh
mmhmm
I wanna drag
Holic into the fire
I mean
there's dragging
it's like
Holic just kinda
like you see
he's smiling
and as you do so
you're just
just dragging
the chair easy
he gives no resistance
Heart grabs
like
one leg
of the chair
and he just
more or less
just slowly
pushes him
into the fire
and stares
at him
he stares at him
but he holds up
his hand
where this pendant
is
and he stares
down at the pendant
more than Holic
at a certain point
and he goes
why do you test me
am I not strong enough
am I weak to you
as you throw
Holic into the fire
you see that he will
he'll simply like
just slowly
just kind of step out
the fire is now
just eating
the flesh
and it's just
gathering up on him
and the hat
and everything
and the wooden nose
that would be represented
just all going fire
you're seeing the skeletal structure
now
in certain places
and you hear him
still perfect
as if
nothing's gone wrong
no pain
no screaming
he'll go
no
you're not
quite there
yet
you need to be
a little bit
and he kind of like
flicks a bit of char
at you
a little fire
can land at your feet
a little bit more
but you can help
just a little bit
I need you
he lands on Harte's eye
he has fire resistance
he stares
he will
he will help you
lead you to the way
I need you to basically
get rid of a problem
because they're just
trying a little too hard
and I want them to stop
now
and you're going to
make it happen
if you please
you see he kind of
waves a hand out
the gesture
but fingers fall off
and land on the ground
oh
Harte breathes so
freaking heavily
out from his nostrils
that steam starts to appear
like a looney tunes bowl
yeah yeah
like straight up
like steam starts to
actually appear
from out from his nostrils
oh my god
he just stares
at this pendant
he try
he just
puts so much pressure
on it
in his hand
but
I know
that it won't break
and he just stares
at it
like this is the most
infuriating point
in his entire life
Halec will uh
or
presumably Halec
will
as you're getting
madder and madder
and madder
Halec will kind of like
take another step
out of you
the one hand
that would have like
a sandal or something
is now just
just flesh and bone
and he just is
stepping forward to you
and he will put a hand
on your chest
if you allow him
yes
I see
you want to be
powerful
don't you
uh
I reload my gun
I don't want to
I don't want to be
powerful
power is nothing
I just don't want
to be weak
oh
I see
I
I will help you
just a little
bit
and you see
he'll he'll
kind of
just
right into his
ribcage
and like
pull a little
something out
it's like
most of his
the chest
just falls out
and you see
that there
is an
it's another
little gem
and it looks
blue
and he will
kind of
take your hand
like mostly
take your hand
but not even
moving you
but the talism
will urge you
up to it
and he will
just kind of
tap and kind of
gingerly tap it
and just tap
tap tap
and put the gem
inside of the
talisman there
and you see
that it kind of
just morphs in
to the red eye
itself
it doesn't show
like there's
another gem
but just morphs
in there
as if it's just
like it looks
like gel like
but you know
you just flick it
it's like
it's a gem
and um
and he goes
there
you feel
you're not
as weak
as you were
before
but
still a bit
pathetic
can I throw
my gun now
can I throw
the whole gun
at him
can I throw
the whole gun
if you want to
shoot again
go for it
I'm waiting
I don't shoot
I stand up
and I throw
the entire
Giselle at him
Hart wants
to say
Hart wants
to say
that he's not
pathetic
but why would
his dad say
the things
that he does
if he weren't
Hart
Beetle stands
up and he goes
shut your
whore mouth
and he whips
the fucking gun
roll me an
unarmed attack
roll
yeah yeah
I'm not sure
what an attack
would be
so thank you
very much
okay
unarmed attack
roll
I just use
that to kind of
it's around
the same mass
yeah
just dunk
please no
nat one
please no nat
one
that's a 14
for a 22
oh it's a critical
hit
roll the crit
damage
go for it
you go
and you basically
whip it
because of
the fire
is eating
the body
you bam
hit the fake
hollock on the
head
and you see
that head
will just
fall down
so it's just
headless now
you just
tipped it over
and you see
that as it
rotates
it looks up
at
or kind of
looks at
the rest
of you
even eyeing
you to
leave
and he's
looking at
you going
you can
do nicely
just remember
when the
time
comes
and he
will smile
as the
body
as the
flames
take
the rest
of the
body
and
he is
no
more
he's
now
ash
let's
get the
frick
out of
here
heart
don't
listen
to
that
fucking
little
heck
and
heck
you
hear
me
you're
perfect
you're
perfect
just
how
you
are
look
at
you
and
he
comes
up
and he
starts
kissing
heart
shins
like
like
you know
how the
chef
goes
like
with
their
fingers
like
it's
that
kind
of
kiss
it's
like
you're
you're
a
perfect
little
baked
good
but
it's
a
man
he's
like
he's
like
don't let
you
don't let
it
he goes
to pick
up
the
gun
it's
super
hot
so
he's
like
heart
picks up
the gun
that is
super
hot
and
it's
like
smokes
from
his
hands
and
goes
don't
worry
beetle
and
he
looks
down
at
him
and
heart
eyes
are
like
drenched
in
ichor
and
smoke
are
like
slightly
coming
out
from
them
I
he
didn't
lie
and he
and he
holds
the gun
until it
isn't
warm
enough
warm
anymore
so the
beetle
can have
it
oh
gripe
picks
herself
up
she
takes
the
takes
takes
a
hand
and
rips
out
the
cross
bolt
that
was
basically
shot
into
herself
she
goes
up
forward
to
go
check
out
to
leave
you
uh
you
good
I
very
much
reminded
of
my
current
circumstances
in
his
defense
he did
not do
it on
purpose
the same
thing
happened
to
me
this
room
he
just
rearranged
things
I mean
like
kind
of
like
like
flourishes
his
blade
a little
bit
out
of
habit
and
puts
it
back
in
the
sheath
and
he
yet
again
goes
to
dust
himself
off
like
he's
brushing
sand
off
himself
and
he's
like
all
all
will
be
fine
I
will
be
happier
when
we
are
out
of
this
accursed
place
and
the
plans
of
whatever
that
was
are
no
longer
looming
over
our
shoulders
that's
right
and
we
don't
even
have
to
help
that
loser
you
know
what
real
winners
they
don't
even
need
help
from
people
like
us
that
guy's
a
loser
big
loser
hey
you
got
my
shotgun
shells
in
your
plasma
still
and
beetle
starts
looking
around
for
his
bullets
might have
landed
to leave
so he
can pick
him
back
up
sorry
about
that
buddy
sorry
I
really
didn't
need
to
you
know
I
would
and
so
we're
just
like
considering
that
they
are
corporeal
things
they're
more
than
likely
scattered
about
somewhere
all right
well
uh
I'm gonna
do
some
some
medicine
some
battle
medicine
I'm just
gonna
let
let's
like
go
into
the
hallway
over
here
and
beetle
will
gesture
and
I'll
just
I'll
patch
us
all
up
real
quickly
and
we
could
spend
like
minutes
so
that
he
can
spend
minutes
patching
up
to
leave
in
minutes
patching
up
heart
well
if
to
make
things
a lot
easier
on you
I assume
to speed
things up
and scream
I assume
everyone wants
to take
like a little
breather
here
and
first aid
all that
stuff
so let's
do this
you can
either
assurance
it
with
I think
with your
medicine
beetle
assurances
so you
would
basically
nearly
you can
assurance
everybody
for
2d8
or try
to risk
it
for
4d8
to crit
no
I'm gonna
assurance
it
but
it's
so
when
beetle
goes
to like
we start
to work
on
clean
teams
clean
like
kind of
puts
a hand
on
like
he's
like
I
will
be
fine
you
should
attend
to
the
others
and
as
that
like
to
lean
will
kind
of
like
drift
past
and
he'll
kind
of
assume
like
a
cross
legged
position
like
okay
well
beetle
doesn't
want
to
interrupt
whatever
the heck
he's
doing
so
he's
gonna
continue
on
over
to
heart
and
so
yeah
roll
2d8
two times
first one
will be
for gray
second
wait
it's
also
I get
a
plus
four
don't
I
2d8
plus
four
let's
remember
your
feats
that's
what I
have
written
in my
notes
let's
see
yeah
you should
have
a
bonus
to your
thing
as
you
are
a
medic
with
a bunch
of
other
stuff
let's
see
yeah
we're
getting
five
additional
HP
at
DC
HP
okay
and
we
succeed
battle
messenger
treat
wounds
the
target
regains
five
additional
HP
at
DC
HP
DC
yeah
so
you
have
to
roll
and get
the
five
additional
HP
okay
what I'm
seeing
for
anything
else
it's
from
being
an
investigator
we
also
add
our
level
oh
that's
right
that's
what
it's
from
thank
you
due
to
being
an
investigator
with
a
focus
in
medicine
yeah
there
is
his
level
bonus
okay
it's a
circumstance
bonus
of
well that doesn't matter
using assurance
with your plus stuff
or whatever it wouldn't really bring you over the DC thing
okay so don't include the plus word
just roll
assurance means you just
with your level you automatically succeed
oh
I meant on the amount that he heals
he heals
for a bonus
so
so
that's a six
and plus the four that would be a ten
yeah what does it say
specifically
honestly
methodology
as a
in forensic medicine
when you use battle medicine
on a successful recover check
additional hit points equal to your level
oh there it is
thank you
for one hour
not one day
okay I was trying to find it
I was like well which one
because you got a shit ton of like medic speeds
I'm like which one you got
yeah yeah yeah
so
yeah
okay so first one to gray
uh
yeah
I think literally you'll
no wrong one
yeah
you were targeting heart
there we go
I'll do it
this one
bloop
you're at full
gonna roll 2d8 for heart
okay
and Talim as
as they're doing this
you gain your focus point back
yeah
and that is
a 14
total of 14
super hard
and
depending on how much time
uh passes
I get a hit point back
for every minute
so
uh
it would be 20 minutes
nice
uh
I spent 10 minutes healing
each person
heart will
heart will in that case
as well
um
stand
completely still
and stare
into the fire
across the room
for 20 minutes
um
and
uh
think about
uh
the various things
that he was taught
during his youth
uh
and it regain
uh
focus point
a focus point
uh
due to
spending 10 minutes
in prayer
or meditation
as a monk can do
just as Talim
can study his
magical spell book
and be like
ah yes
give me back
a focus point
my focus point
okay
he uh
what would you guys like to do now
yeah he slaps his bro
in the ass
and he goes
I'd maybe top it off
with a HP potion
but apart from that
we're good
I don't know what HP
stands for
let's keep going
HP
I like that this
this entire thing
has been going down
and Lex is in the corner
going I don't know
what's happening
you can't see
you can't see shit
he's been very quiet
we're moving
what would you guys like to do
Lex is just quiet
what would you guys like to do
yeah
Hark just snaps his fingers
towards Lex and goes
we're moving
okay
and he starts moving
we're moving
right down the hallway
he will uh
have his
you know
light and everything on
and he will go to
open this door
you open the door
and you see
Brug
crying
what
what
what
what
what
they ate
her
what
what
Brock
and he disappears
through the door
to the south
like he just
like runs in the door
or he just like
gets like pulled in
just fades through it
oh christ
oh
oh
okay
uh
wasn't that the door
that had the eyeball
on it
yeah
it appears
so
what if it's his daughter
he's talking about
we should follow him
until he will like
look back at the rest of the
part like
do we follow this guy
I mean
Grey kind of just like
raises her arms up
and just kind of like
makes like a
I mean what else
are we gonna do
check the door
check it
uh
to leave old
open the
there's an eye
there's the eye
you see the eye
it just kind of
stares at you
in anticipation
you can move
aside
I
aside
you want up here
we'll
step
up to the eye
you step up
to the eye
and he'll reach out
to
you tap it
you tap it
and it rolls
backwards
and
like it just
slithers into the flesh
off to the side
and it opens up
into a room
to the south
and what you see
is a collection
of roots
in combination
of tentacles
and a bunch
of corpses
on the ground
with bits
of crystal
on them
some of them
seem to be
kind of latched
on to the roots
itself
as it's like
grasping onto it
for dear life
and others
seem to just
been just
laying on to
their side
in the middle
of the room
but uh
that is what you see
what did you do
how did you
open it
i simply
touched it
and
believe we'll
actually
float forward
into the room
and i i guess
move over to the
side
whisper powers
go
it's magic
baby i can't
explain shit
gray will cautiously
move forward
and go through
the door
and then
he all throws up
a little in his
mouth and follows
as you go in
ow
ow
ow
so we'll
head over this
way
you see the eye
will
right back
ah fuck
does any one
of these corpses
look familiar
no
not as much
as you can
tell right now
but people who
want to investigate
the room
and look around
can roll me
perception checks
yeah
yeah
basically uh
tell me what
you're looking for
specifically
as you
do your rolls
and that's another
nat 1 for heart
oh my god
heart don't see shit
tellene will
actually be
investigating
the crystals
and are they
similar to the
ones that
uh
were used
on the
word eater
um
uh
he's checking
to see if they're
similar to the
ones uh
used on the
word eater
above
roll me a
perception check
and is a total
of a 14
gray
uh gray is going
to be looking
at the
different
plants
and the
roots
to see
if they
like have
any
uh
any
origin
like
like
if
like if
they're
bunching
together
in any
specific
spots
like
just
just getting
a better
look at
them
just to see
if they're
doing
anything
funky
and that
is a
fucking
two
for
a
total
of
nine
oh my god
ah
beetle would
like to
try
and go
around
and determine
if the
corpses
all have
a
general
shared
time
of
death
or
how
they
died
perhaps
like a
full
autopsy
type
of
deal
as
he's
just
like
eyeballing
each
corpse
and that
is a
that I
rolled
okay
for
for that
type
of roll
to see
time
of
death
you
need
to
roll
me
a
medicine
so
go ahead
and
roll
okay

disturbed
kind of the
environment here
several of the
the
just crunch
in front of you
and um
and beetle
with your
roll
uh you'll
well for most of
everyone's perceptions
uh besides
greys
that you look
around the
bodies
they seem
to have
like shredded
now
but remnants
of clothing
of some of
croc's
gang's
gang's
members
and um
and for you
beetle
with your
medicine
re-roll
and stuff
you look
around
you can
confirm
they all
died
similarly
and all
were affected
within the
same time
frame here
and uh
you see
that a lot
of their
fingers
have become
more claw-like
and their
flesh
have just
like
not rotten
but shredded
as these
crystal growths
uh
were all
around them
guys
careful not
to touch
the crystals
around the
corpses
I don't know
if these
are the
same
as the
ones
outside
and that's
the moment
when the
corpses
fall
hard
grey
kind of
stumbles
back
she's just
she floofs
up
she's like
oh
does that
count
just raised
that would
be the
exact opposite
of what
I just
suggested
I'm
sorry
to disappoint
you
no no
no
you're
fine
baby
get out
of the
pile
of
corpses
though
let's
just
step
out
and he's
gonna
cup
his
hands
around
his
large
ass
snoot
and just
scream
into
the
room
no
one
try
and like
tiptoe
around
these
bodies
to not
like
touch
them
but she's
gonna
move
her way
back
towards
the
back
of
the
room
as
you get
close
to
Rin
you
notice
that
there
is
a
gaping
hole
underneath
the
tree
here
the
vines
and the
trunk
of
the
tree
and
in
various
little
blood
vessel
flesh
bits
so
it
just
kind
of
made
like
a
barrier
to
prevent
people
kind
of
coming
in
you
see
this
there's
been
some
damage
to
as if
someone
tried
in
remnants
where
in
holes
and bits
where
the
vines
were
a lot
thicker
but it
seems
to be
a lot
smaller
now
leaving
cavities
here
and
there
where
you
can
kind
of
see
through
the
hole
a
little
bit
but
not
as
much
like
if
you
tried
to
go
through
it
it'd
be
very
difficult
to
wow
so
a
professional
hole
investigator
would be
needed
somebody
who
could
potentially
slither
through
tight
spaces
like
a
professional
ladies
great
looks over
her shoulder
and she
she'll
whistle
over
just
go
hey
beetle
come
slapping
up
you
you
think
you
could
fit
down
there
what
I
can't
are
you
nuts
I'm
not
going
down
there
I'd
have
to
touch
the
any
gestures
up
at
the
giant
tree
well
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
options
what
do
you
mean
you
know
one of
my
next
questions
was
going
to
be
hey
have
you
found
any
way
to
progress
further
and
she
just
points
down
this
answers
the
question
because
I
don't
think
we
can
I
think
we
should
turn
back
and
maybe
loop
around
maybe
the tunnels
changed
in the way
that we
came
beetle
you are the
only one
that can
do
this
we are
relying
on you
so
so
so
so
is
my
mom
if
I
die
in
a
hole
I
can't
pay
her
mortgage
beetle
yeah
you
can
have
all
of
my
money
what
no no no
you don't have to do that
I'm just saying like if I die I can't make any more money to pay
okay if I die going in that hole
you all owe my mom
and all my
no
all my sisters
however many there may be right now
you owe the wall 25% of your earnings
heart steps forth and kneels and goes you have my word
thanks heart
I usually need somebody to take care of my sisters and my mom I'm the man of the house you know
and uh he climbs up over the disgusting roots throws up a little bit in his mouth swallows it back down
as you uh step above Taleem before you move
yeah
uh
you notice
the one you notice there's a corpse over to your right
and it shifts with a clink clink
clink in the hand and you see a hand just
just starts slowly getting near you
Taleem will
consciously float back or like away from it
you notice a lot of the heads as you on these corpses have been slowly but surely turning
and they're all looking at you
oh
Taleem goes to like he puts his hand on the uh
on the on the pommel of his uh
sword and he's like I think perhaps
the traits of the crystals are starting to show themselves to arms my comrades
and at that
you have already rolled your initiatives
as body
as body
to body
to body
begins to shift
all
throughout
I need to move you beetle
I get in the hole I get in the hole I get in the hole I climb in the hole
I climb inside the hole
you're standing on one beetle so I'm gonna put you in a safer spot
uh
to there
to there
to there
and they all begin
to shift
just
as they all
all begin to try to reach
for Taleem
and we're gonna start rolling initiative
for
you open up the initiative tracker
I
I will have to fit this in a weird way
so forgive me chat
I don't think they'll all fit
so
tune to see
one two three four five six
one second
seven eight nine ten eleven
actively dying
one moment please
so
roll
and rolling
go ahead
did that complication add more labs to this party
roll
roll
that's not an answer
roll
roll
oh god
roll
roll
roll
roll
but hey
maybe since they are zombie-like
they have the
flaw of being zombies
and they're slowed one
or maybe they're super fast
and have more actions
who knows
luckily for you
maybe they're flammable
let me see if I can do this for all of them
they're all currently prone
we'll see if this lags the entire thing
oh god
as it applies to all of them
your computer might have a little shudder
as it does all the stuff
but uh
yeah
there we go
they're all currently prone right now
but one of them will stand
that's right
by heart
oh
wrong button
one of them will stand
for one action
and look to you hard
and try to get you with a claw
it misses
oh no it hits
it does hit
yeah it's very easy to hit me
when I'm not in mountain stance
and uh
it will
it'll have its action go through
only hitting you for three points of damage
but it'll spend one action
to grab you
no
oh no
there's bad
time for next one
we're gonna be here for a bit
we're gonna be here for a bit
another one will stand
look at you
look at you gray
and begin to uh
and go for you
these things
to kind of show you what they look like
there's uh
there's fantastic art
that that salty
no I don't
long long ago
are these things
oh this shooter
oh they're cool
they're pretty much humanoid things
with like
like crystals
bursting out of them
uh
shredded pieces of clothing
more just claw-like hands
and crystal bits
taking over their body
and um
they
and they try to talk
sometimes
like somebody
you can probably try to make it with a go
but it just turns
with the crystals
clinking with each other
with a raspy voice
and uh
they
they keep doing a little grab
every single time
that one will
go for
and we'll try to
get you one more time
rolls really well
hits you just barely a gray
and uh
will damage you
only for two
I just imagine
they surround like
heart and gray
and it's just like
the one scene
from day of the dead
where like
he opens the doors
and it's just
hands
reaching out
towards him
another one
in the same way though
another one
stands up
and goes after you
to lead
hey
how about
and will try
to grab
onto you
hello my fellow
undead brethren
hello
and for its other action
as it try to go
so you see the crystal
in its back
begin to just pulsate
as it tries to claw you
one more time
it misses
another one comes in
it'll look over to you
beetle
and you see it'll
extend a hand out to you
and go
and you'll see a bit of magic
like the crystals behind
they all begin to glow
you hear a heartbeat
and you hear
and a bolt of magic
bam
comes right up at you
and hits you
and deals
four points of damage
to you beetle
okay
and it will
stand up
and move in closer
no
I'm just a little guy
I'm really small
it's my birthday
I'm the birthday boy
it's his birthday
it's beetle's birthday
it's my birthday
come up to you
Talim
it'll do all of its movement
to go to here
and it will try to
claw onto you
does hit you
with all your resistances
you only take three points
of damage
it will take
use an action
to grab you
now you'll grab
by that one
one more
before it's
beetle
well nope
that was the one
beetle
it's your go
these things
are just
mostly fixated
on Talim
but some of them
have taken an interest
in the rest of you
what do you do
oh no
I'm the guy
from day of the dead
you're the guy
from day of the dead
uh uh would it be possible
for me to
oh
okay I know
they've got
projectile blasties
but can beetle
try to get past
these two prone ones
by taking uh
like a route
this way
towards the big tree
you can go around
there's an action
okay so
yes
uh if they don't have
a movement reaction
I'm not
okay
you'll buy just fine
okay then beetle
would like to scale
the tree
climb up the tree
just get away
from the ground guys
okay
and uh
alright so that's
one move to get
to the tree
if uh
the climate
I'll be like
a second action
to climb up
okay
and then uh
he'll get ready
to shoot these boys
but I can't remember
it's not a very tall
tree right now
so you're able
to get up
but okay
okay
I can't remember
if I reloaded
my gun
I'll say you did
during your breaks
it probably makes sense
to uh
he's going to
aim and shoot
at this guy
right here
but specifically
he's aiming
at the crystals
on his back
okay
good hit
no
that's what he said
that's a crit
nice
bam
that is
26 points
of damage
boom
you annihilate
the crystals
just crash out
and everything else
you
one shot it
it is dead
blows the smoke
off the nozzle
of the gun
I don't know
if it's the type
of gun
to smoke
at the nozzle
but that's
the image
I have
next turn
somebody else's turn
so long
it's such a long gun
comparatively to me
okay but my
scoot is also
very long
that is true
sorry I messed up here
wasn't supposed to
yeah the barrel
the barrel
the barrel
listen I'm Canadian
I don't know my guns
I'm sorry
not bad
alright
I'm fixing things
okay
this one
will come out
from prone
I keep undoing it
out of combat
and it's messing me up
this one
go here
on prone
go to Talim
and see that it's grabbed
or see that you're grabbed
and it will do
a thing
it can't do it right now
so it'll strike you
oh I saw that 20
it misses
and that's all I can do
Talim
so I'm currently
grabbed right
yeah so you can still
do everything normal
it's just there'll just
be a flat DC
to manipulate stuff
does it mean you can't
move away right now
unless you want to do
try to break free
which is an athletics check
and the problem with that
is that I'm incorporeal
and I can't attempt
strength-based checks
against corporeal creatures
well you're grabbed
the inverse of that
is they can't do that
they can't attempt
strength-based checks
against me
but I'm assuming
these are magic
so yeah
yeah
there is arcane
in their name
so
yeah
so I guess
they would eat the ghost
don't fucking eat me
you got this
you got this
yeah
as Talim is grabbed
I guess he will try
and raise his shield
to fend off the other
two
and attack at the one
that has got him grabbed
yeah
question mark
I can give it a shot
uh
yeah
yeah
so
we'll do that
and then
I'll target
the one
that is grabbing me
and
uh
Lex will stand there
and be like
I miss my sister
and then
watch me get fucking
uh
uh
eat it
keep your shield up
Lex
and uh
I will attack
the one that is uh
that is grabbing me
okay
before you do any damage
roll me a flat
uh
d20 please
oh no
you're able to do it
go ahead
roll damage
I'm very confused
yet also terrified
that's a total of 18 damage
yeah
so the main reason
I asked you to roll that
uh
flat thing
when you're grabbed
you have to make a flat check
you have to basically beat a five
and uh
I mean it's one to four
but it would make you
just not do it
okay
so
uh
you do it and just
you cut him down
you're no longer grabbed
uh
and
he will turn
on the one
on his uh
on his left
and I guess
attempt a
uh
second attack
alright let's see it
minus
at a minus five penalty
you hit
nice
you see it's slow
with lumbering
and as you
crash into it
for 11 points of damage
it also falls
nice
yay
and so like
yeah one grabs him
and he's like
ah
raises his shield
cuts two down
and interposes his shield
between
himself and the other one
and he's like
stay back
and that is
the end of my turn
I want to come
from prone
because we spend
all of its actions
getting to here
what is that
hmm
I don't try to
call you
and it misses
that's all I can do
this whole session
has just been
I'd have fired
and I missed
and I'm fired
and I missed
and I'm fired
and I missed
and I'm fired
and I missed again
that's been the whole session
I woke up
I had a popsicle
I fired
and I missed
it will uh
this one will stand up
and look to you hard
and it will
basically do a thing
I don't know
it's doing a thing
it looks
it looks to you hard
and it sees
that you are grabbed
and it's like
conditions
met
yes
and it will grab
onto you
and will begin
just
just
it will basically
grab onto
your arm
and you see
the crystals
there's a bit of crystals
in its teeth
and its hands
and it bed itself
into you
and you see
the crystals
on its back
and body
just begin
the pulsage
oh no
my rock body
it's turning into rocks
effect
the grab creature
must succeed
a DC 16
fortitude save
do that for me please
you're just fine
you're just fine
barely
by one
you're able to
shake it off
and you feel like
some of the magic
that you were able to cast
like oh
you almost lost
the ability
like
like your key rush
and wholeness of body
you almost lost it
oh no
that's my part
of my tankingness
this other one
will stand up
and look to you
gray
oh shit
it does look to you
and ignores you
go straight for Talena
oh
okay
and
will try to claw him
and fails
next one
you get to make its way
towards Talene
and will try to strike you
rolls a two on the die
you're going through
you are surrounded
you're just trying
to fend him off
like there's a bunch
of zombies coming
after you
gray it's your turn
like a spartan
in a zombie movie
just squat down
and put the shield
above your head
so gray's going
to target the one
that had tried
to grip her before
her initial gut reaction
is to take her
crossbow
and ram it
into it
like just like
just hit it
with it
like physically
instead of shooting it
because it's just
it's too close
what's the point
would I roll
an unarmed for that
or would I
one more time
would I roll
an unarmed
for just using
the crossbow
as like a physical
weapon
just a bonk it
just do an unarmed
strike
that'll be the same
math and stuff
yeah
yeah that's what
I was asking
yeah
I will advise you
game master wise
that even though
you hit it
and it would be
a crit on this one
normally you can
just shoot it
point blank
you don't have
to melee it
there's no penalties
I was doing it for the fun flavor
okay go ahead and crit
yay
I hit it
I think you added
you added your precision stuff
as the target thing
I don't think you unchecked it
it's okay
regardless
you would have really
messed it up anyway
and uh
take it out
just
you just crush
its head in
I forgot to unclick
the thing
because I didn't think
about it
it's okay
alright so you made
the straight
you got two actions left
and we're gonna run over
okay so I've unticked it
now
I've unticked it
now
we're fine now
we're gonna go over
to this lad
this one
we're gonna
we're gonna bonk him too
just bam
bam
big heart
you were
you're grounded by that
total of 19
you hit him
well you forgot to do
minus 5
so
oh shoot
you would still hit
you would still hit
because I've seen the math
but
uh
you try to smash into it
and it's still up
well that's it for me
this one will come out of prone
and what it will do
is sink its teeth
into
the various vines
and trees and stuff
that stands up
and it will be
just a bit more
you see its crystals
go
and it will begin
lumbering towards Talim
no
heart it's your go
okay
uh
this dude
right in front of me
yes
that's the guy
that is grappling me
right now right
mm-hmm
uh
okay
cool
so
uh
Sorn
I'm snoring
there's a really funny thing
which you can do
and I love this shit
this is the funniest gimmick
in like
all of grappling
in Pathfinder 2nd edition
so I can just grapple him back
yep
and that's so much more fun
than trying to escape
no
so I wish to attempt
to grapple this guy
now let's see it
uh
I roll an athletic check
and if I succeed
he's grappled
here's a thing we can do
to make it easy on you
yeah yeah yeah
did you add it
I'll just add it to your sheet
uh
nice
thank you
just click that for me
as you target him
uh
when you click this
in chat
you'll see the athletics thing there
just click the athletics thing there
yes
and it'll do all the math
yes
thank you Sonoran
I roll a 7
for a total
you succeed
they are grabbed
I grabbed the guy
well before
let's roll this flat
d20
and you're good
nice
hey Soren
yes
I now wish to
punch this duder
all right
let's see it
I use
flurry of blows
which allows me
to strike twice
um
let me see
let's see if it happens
I'm not in mountain stance
you're good
which sucks
because I don't know
if it's fist
or an arm strike
I'm
I'm hoping it's
fist
uh
so I'm gonna use fist
uh
we'll see if it's a d6
or if it's a d4
um
here we go
my first roll
you hit
nice
I
punch
I
with a d6
it's good
it's this one
I punch him
then
my second attack
I punch him
I can't believe
Art punched him
yeah I punch him
you crit
I crit
okay
so uh
Soren
just out of
even though it's stupid
it makes no sense
I don't like this
I don't like doing this
as long as you summarize the turn
because we have so many to get through
yes
exactly
out of instinct
heart bites back
all right
you bite back
roll the damage
oh my god
I crunch
I'm so proud
just destroy it
it pretty much crumples down
and dies
you are no longer grabbed
nice
that'll be the end
of your turn
I can't believe that heart
went for the ear
this one
try to go for you
Talim
claw you
and hits
doing damage
you take no damage
to how low of a damage
it does
but it spins an action
to grab you
it has the grab trade
on its thing
I love it
which one was that
oh the one to yourself
one to myself
okay
yes
and uh
so after
that one
also one thing
I have to
okay I'll note that later
that uh
as you do that
beetle
yeah
go turn
okay
I reload
my Giselle
and I
and I
shoot
this guy
as Salim
hears the Giselle
being reload
he looks through
the crowd
of
crystal
guys
surrounding him
he locks eyes
with beetle
you hit
you hit
beetle
beetle ignores
the stink
guy
and shoots
this guy's
crystals
on his back
one point of
damage
it takes the
one point of
damage
she
ends off the
crystals
like leaving a little
crack
you want to reload
up
yep
okay
and uh
that's my
turn
tell him it's
your turn
oh buddy
is it ever
you got this
champ
you got this
I don't know
about that
one
for your
passive
perceptions
I've been
doing like
some secret
checks here
and there
um
you notice
more movement
on the ground
there's still
more courses
on the ground
no
no
oh god
oh yeah
oh no
oh god
um
let's see
base first
operation
mages
um
you said
manipulate
actions
right
yes
you can
attack
you can
attack
that's
that's
fine
um
but you can
do stuff
but like
attacking
would be
manipulating
and stuff
so
at the
triple check
the ruling
because sometimes
everything's weird
but we'll
count it for
that for now
and I'll
triple check
after
which are
showing the
comments can
correct me
yeah
all right
um
in that case
uh
clean will
just
keep his
shield raised
um
and he will
lash out
at the
duder
in front
of him
with the
ass coil
because he is
extremely hesitant
to cast magic
at the moment
because of the
notes that we
found
and that
is a
uh
to hit
which does
hit
it does not
happen
no
okay
well it doesn't
happen
the one that
has you
grabbed
I rolled
the flat
d20 just
to keep
making it
faster
and he tries
to like
push your
sword away
and I'm
like
I will
try and
attack again
with my
second
with my
third action
that's a
natural
one
one
as
Thaleem
gets pulled
under
no
come on
come on
god
why
I can't
believe
out of
everything
this is
what gets
us
here's the
complication
we can
do
I kinda
like this
one
sorry if
Thurston
wanted to
use it
it's from
Natakom
we're going
to do
let's
see
yeah
it's called
thank you Natakom
for this
complication
at
patreon.com
forward slash
yeah patreon.com
forward slash
narrative declaration
submit your own
called you just
activated my
trap card
so here's the
thing that they
describe when a
purple magenta
haze fills the
combat area in
fact I have
something for
this
I have
something for
this guys
we're gonna
do just a
little bit
a little bit
of foog
how's that
and we're
going to
tint it a
little bit
like how
somebody in
chest is
like you
got a
attack
man
no
no I
don't
I'm a
magus
most of
my spell
strike stuff
has to
be
targeted
spells
I'm not
a wizard
so
purple
magenta
haze
I'm gonna
manipulate
a little
bit more
red
fills the
combat
roll a
d6
and apply
the
effects
all right
so the
d6
I'll have
you roll
this
one
the
complications
team
takes the
damage
the
complicator
inflicts
this round
called mirror
force
everyone would
take the
damage
two
the
complicator
takes the
damage
they would
inflict
this round
magic
the
complicators
or three
complicator
suddenly falls
into a
strained hole
in the
ground
four
the
complicator
ends
their round
immediately
without any
further
actions
five
the
complicator
must
immediately
leave the
combat area
as a free
action
and cannot
reenter the
combat area
for two
rounds
I will
not allow
that
in six
for the
rest of the
combat round
no non-basic
actions or
non-basic
actions can be
done by all
participants of
the combat
yeah so that's
what can happen
I'm going to edit
some of those
because some of
those are way
too powerful
and for the
sixth one
for the rest
of combat
non-basic
actions
I'm literally
just going to
apply it
that's way
too much
no we're
not doing
that
but I
will say
that
you're
just
done
for
the
round
okay
at least
I got
my shield
up
the one
to the
north of
you
will spend
two actions
to do this
and do
something called
magic drain
I need you
to roll me
a fortitude
save
is it
just me
or is it
getting red
actually
no it
will
I know
what I'm
going to
do
it's going
to do
yes
a little
miasma
it's kind
of been
filling
the area
it'll
spin
an action
to first
just kind
of bite
into the
roots
of the
tree
it seems
like a
little bit
tougher
and then
it'll do
it
roll me
a fortitude
save
please
oh no
so it's
a nine
I rolled
a 17
for a total
of 26
I don't know
what the
DC said
before
but it's
it's
powered up
now
you do
not
crit
but you
succeed
you're
just
fine
okay
next one
next to
you
heart
will
also
do the
same
thing
it will
bite
into
the
roots
aww
yeah
baby
and it
will look
to you
and it
will try
to
claw
you
it
misses
it
tries
to
go
again
and
it
does
even
the
MAP
minus
five
it
does
hit
you
and
will
only
do
six
points
of
damage
to
you
has
no
actions
in which
to grab
you
so
don't
worry
this
other
one
will
look
at
you
to
leave
it'll
spend
an
action
to
bite
the
roots
oh
buddy
oh
my
and
also
try
to
drain
your
magic
roll
me
know
the
fortitude
oh
I
love
it
wait
no
that's
an
issue
wrong
button
wrong
button
wrong
button
wrong
button
that
is
an
and
you
fail
great
you
fail
so
basically
what
happens
with
it
is
magic
drain
for
this
is
that
you
cannot
cast
spells
from
their
highest
spell
level
slot
for
1d4
rounds
this
has
no
effect
on
creatures
that
cannot
cast
spells
so
for
you
roll
me
1d4
so
for
four
rounds
you
rolled
four
on it
you
cannot
cast
your
second
level
highest
spells
so
you
cannot
cast
mirror
image
I
think
that's
your
last
thing
you
have
left
yeah
that
was
mine
that
was
my
emergency
card
okay
and they
were just
like
nope
you
don't
get
that
oh
no
the next
one
will eat
from
the roots
becoming
stronger
and will
continue
to try
to
eat
you
alive
this is
the first
claw
goes for
another one
i think
i think
that's
gonna
be
kind
of
hard
it's
trotted
gray
it's
your
turn
i feel
like
i feel
like
they missed
the bus
on that
one
okay
so
grace
just
she's
done
she's
done
the
the
it
decided
to
take
a
little
nibble
out
of
this
fucking
tree
and
she's
done
uh
so
she's
now
my
targeted
prey
this
little
lad
right
here
next
to
heart
and
she's
gonna
just
fire
her
bow
just
fire
a
crossbow
kshunk
our
total
of
uh
rolled
a
total
of
gonna
do
that
damage
the
damage
nice
good
damage
good
damage
it's
still
locked
we're
gonna
do
one
more
and
i
remembered
to
take
it
this
time
i
remembered
to
do
the
ticking
i'm
doing
it
right
this
time
i
swan
you
hit
roll
damage
you
blast
his head
open
pretty much
with the
last
crossbow
and it
falls
down
that
one was
being a
pain
can i
just say
that right
now even
though i
fear
greatly
for
to
leave
some
life
i'm
very
proud
of the
fact
that
he's
being
an
excellent
tank
he's
tanking
very
very
well
right
now
you're
doing
such
a
good
boy
i
got
this
this
one
this
one's
not
very
happy
that
it
got
shot
at
so
it
begins
with
one
two
three
to
here
one
action
you
sure
i'm
right
there
i got
the
magic
and
it
will
begin
to
climb
up
to
beetle
for
a
second
action
oh
what
the
hell
just
to
make
sure
of
some
things
we're
gonna
find
up
just
fine
and
it'll
try
to
get
at
you
no
a
claw
and
you
it's
you
with
a
and
only
does
four
damage
to
you
my
suspenders
heart

your
turn

side

step
b
step

and
then
i
will
step

that's
one
action
then
my
for
my
last
and
third
my
third
and
last
action
i
will
use
guess

care
anymore
good
hit
chris
chris
chris
baby
i'ma
eat
this
guy
i
eat
the
guy
due
to
flurry
of
blows
very
cool
wording
structure
i can
actually
attack
different
targets
due to
how it
is
written
it
even
states
it
comparatively
to
other
attack
twice
and
combine
it
so i
will
attack
the
east

good
shield

i use
my hero
point
from
from
chat
to
try to
eat
him
again
and i
succeed
i'll
eat
him
so
hark
just
ravenously
eyes
pitch
black
except
for a
certain
little
orange
circle
just
leaps
onto
these
things
there
is
no
figure
there
there
is
no
form
there
is
no
technique
he
is
ripping
at
them
with
his
teeth
and
hands
gray is
so proud
right
now
yeah
that's
my turn
you did
a good
job
and that
one
just
smashed
into
it
what
starts
to
happen
do
do
do
do
to
you
mentioning
that
the
southern
most
individual
activated
their
grab
attack
onto
Thalim
does
he
escape
the
grab
effect
or is
everyone
else
also
ganging up
on him
Thalim's no longer
grabed
because you
killed him
nice
but now
with a new
round
starting
a bunch
starts to
happen
from under
vines
and everything
else
one
no
two
three
four
five
oh my
god
six
more bodies
begin
watch the
door being
unlocked
like all
this time
like we've
been fighting
these things
but we
could've
just
run
away
don't
say
that
that's gonna
be
true
now
Zora's
just
sitting
there
he's
like
not
saying
anything
he's
like
the
thing
I was
gonna
mention
at least
the
beetle
beetle
you know
that you
have
your
map
right
I do
you
remember
this
room
a little
bit
you know
that
under
this
route
there's
an
escape
there's
a little
there's
a little
tunnel
that
someone
scribbled
in
going
like
tunnel
question
mark
oh
that's
right
yeah
okay
and
is it
is it
my
no
it's
hard
I'm still
doing a
bunch of
stuff
more
you're still
doing
things
okay
thank you
sorry
I thought
you were
segwaying
and they
don't
stop
coming
and they
don't
stop
coming
and they
don't
stop
coming
and they
don't
oh
one
got
a
good
for
it
yeah
another
moving in
I can't
believe
Zoran
is
utilizing
the
law
of
averages
this
won't
come up
to you
Talim
start
clawing
into
you
gets
the
hit
even
though
you
have
your
shield
up
does
nine
points
of
damage
to
you
but
you
take
only
seven
out
of
it
it
will
spend
an
action
to
grab
you
again
a
shield
block
as a
reaction
you can
take down
some of
that
damage
I
do
go ahead
and do
all that
math
for me
do all
the
hardness
everything
do
everything
else
I'm
trying
to
speedrun
this
as much
as I
can
only
take
two
damage
from
that
in
that
case
good
this
one
will
come
in
look at
you
your
shield
still
going
it's
still
popping
it gets
a natural
20 on
you with
its claw
attack
starts
feeding
on you
just
points
of
damage
on you
it'll
try to
get you
again
because
it has
one
action
left
does
not
quite
get you
on the
second
one
which
is
fine
which
is
okay
if
the
other
one
is
coming
in
even
the
strongest
castle
eventually
falls
in
its
siege
strongest
can't
survive
and it
looks to
you
heart
this
one
coming
in
starts
to
claw
you
but
I
will
villain
point
it
still
miss
too
bad
I
have
eaten
them
they
can
no
longer
kill
me
I
have
their
strength
we'll
try to
get you
on the
second
run
and
misses
terribly
soren
have you
ever seen
a broccoli
eat
like
defeat
a human
no
exactly
that's
what I
cover
I'll
look at
you
to
leave
the
swarm
in
you
it
hits
you
I'm
so
fucked
I'm
so
fucked
I'm
so
fucked
that's
by
I
lift
them
out
every
time
they
claw
at
you
and
getting
bites
on
you
everything
like
they
be
eating
your
ectoplasm
starts
off
he's
just
blocking
everything
and
like
one
claw
goes
through
another
one
goes
through
one
catches
him
fully
in
the
back
the
next
one
in
the
leg
and
he's
just
like
I
can't
hold
on
another
one
comes
up
to
you
heart
hits
you
with
this
one
that's
a hit
it does
it does
hit
it'll
spin
an
action
to
grab
so
he
grabs
you
this
one
down
here
will
come
to
you
gray
okay
tries
to
eat
you
hits
six
points
of
damage
to
you
and
will
spend
its
thing
to
grab
you
it's
final
action
grab
oh
no
m
grab
it'll
it's
your
go
they
seem
to
keep
coming
in
your
from
your
perspective
you
see
under
the
roots
there's
more
bodies
there's
a lot
of
dead
people
here
all
crystallized
as
well
I
have
an
idea
Vidal
is going
to pull
out
a
torch
light
it
hold
his
breath
and
I'm
going
to
try
and
slither
through
the
hole
in
the
floor
from
your
perspective
for
that
hole
you
see
that
you
will
not
be
able
to
get
through
it
I
won't
be
able
to
get
the
torch
through
you
can
get
the
torch
through
more
than
likely
but
for
you
to
get
in
there
you
look
down
it
is
not
a
hole
you
want
to
go
down
just
from
looking
in
you
will
fall
to
your
death
more
than
likely
I
light
the
torch
I'm
going
to
take
one
of
my
torches
out
of
my
inventory
if
I
need
to
move
down
the
tree
also
in
order
to
get
to
that
hole
that
can
take
a
turn
to
move
down
the
tree
I guess
I'm assuming
the
hole
you saw
at
the
base
of
the
tree
right
yes
and
he's
going
to
smoke
up
the
tree
so
he's
going
to
light
the
torch
shove
it
in
there
with
reckless
abandon
and
then
he's
going
to
take
out
a
second
torch
and
come
running
around
this
way
like
he
runs
this
way
around
the
side
of
the
tree
that's
feet
feet
I'll
allow
you
just
to
jump
over
so
you
can
just
go
past
it
it's
not
so
far
I
think
that's
all
I
could
do
so
far
am
I
able
to
light
this
torch
and
jam
it
into
these
roots
also
oh
you
can
go
through
the
roots
you
don't
need
to
remove
them
you
see
you
can
go
through
them
yeah
you
see
you
can
just
go
under
them
inside
the
hole
there
you
see
they've
been
covered
over
you
see
you
can
manipulate
yourself
in
through
like
past
them
I
used
up
all
my
movement
so
I'll
get
to
the
roots
and
I'll
start
burning
them
and
tearing
through
them
and
wriggling
through
so
you're
going
to
set
fire
to
an
entrance
I'm
burning
the
roots
away
I'm
not
acting
I'm
describing
this
logic
to
you
have
you
ever
burned
wood
before
yeah
so
within
combat
it
takes
several
seconds
there's
only
several
seconds
you
know
so
around
so
around
is
like
seconds
or
at least
or so
right
so
wood
takes
a while
to burn
especially
when it's
been
viney
and fleshy
and bloody
and all
that other
stuff
so I want
to apply
the logic
that takes
a while
for you
don't just
go
cartoonishly
it's
gone
yeah
okay
it'll take
a while
to burn
so if
you did
so you
would
literally
put
fire
to the
entrance
of this
tunnel
that would
last
a while
never
mind
sorry
sorry
this is
my bad
this is
my fucking
bad
I do
the wiggle
worm
it's fine
everyone
probably works
some legend
of selda
logic
so you
have your
torch out
and you
see
through the
passageway
you know
you know
what's
there
okay
okay
that's all
I can
do
if I
turn
I'm out
of
turns
guys
there's
a hole
in the
wall
here
only I
can
fit
but
if
you
can
start
making
your
way
over
I
might
be
able
to
make
it
bigger
somehow
yeah
okay
get
over
here
everyone
grabbed
and Beetle
just waving
them
over
hey
just
come
over
here
no
problem
it's your
turn
to
lame
oh
it's my
turn
really
great
thank you
yeah
yeah
all right
so
which one
of these
is
grabbing
me
uh
the
southern
one
I believe
the
southern
one
okay
so
I will
raise
my
shield
pushing
and
I
will
target
the
southern
one
and
uh
I
will
use a
standard
attack
against
it
good hit
let's see
if it
happens
it does
don't
don't
don't
okay
um
and then
I will roll
critical damage
versus it
boom
you take it out
you're no longer
grabbed
yeah
and then
I will
turn to
um
this one
right here
and I will
yet again
lash out
with another
strike
uh
of the
whip sword
that is currently
just regular
sword
that
is a miss
uh
well that is
all of my
actions
so that's
the end
of my
turn
as
Talene
fights
off
the
horde
doing
his
best
to
intercept
incoming
blows
dodge
them
spin
around
and
lash
out
one
hit
bam
and he's
just
twiddling
his
thumbs
it hits
you
deals
four points
of damage
to you
grabs you
again
only does
two points
of damage
just being
fucking
nickel and
dimed
to death
oh no
oh no
oh no
suffering
suffering
second death
by a thousand
counts
it tries to
claw you
again
with its
other hand
and it
misses
next one
my heart
was almost
in my
hole
hits you
still
seven
points
of damage
it's going
further
and further
and further
misses
with a
second
attack
the other
one
over to
your right
comes after
you
more
attacks
keep coming
into
Talim
oh that
almost was
a crit
that was a
oh my god
gets you in
more damage
coming in
another claw
just ripping you
apart
Talim
just ectoplasm
just
going everywhere
these things
are ravenous
for you
every time
a bit
of you
gets taken
away
they go
and they
keep just
just
just eating
you up
great
it's your
turn
I'm
shooting
what one
is grabbing
me
uh
the top
right
right
okay
top right
to you
all right
grabbed
uh
this is my
targeted prey
because I'm not
taking any
chances right
now
um
let's put in
action
ba-bam
yep
yep
and we're
gonna hit
with a
crossbow
let's see
if it
happens
it's a total
of a 20
you're good
damage
boom
15 points
of damage
it holds
on to you
tighter
but it
takes a lot
of damage
reload
yeah
that's all
I can do
that's all
when it begins
to fill
the spot
it's hungry
it wants
some
another claw
attack
hits
your shield
is just like
just trying
to
a bunch
of claw
marks
seven points
of damage
I will
shield
block
that one
all right
you minus
that one
do all the
adjustments
on your
character
if you
don't mind
as it tries
to claw
you
it actually
because I only
take five points
of damage
it soaks the
entirety of the
damage
good
so no damage
to just heal
yourself
whatever I did
to you
and I will
villain point
the second
claw attack
and it still
misses
just barely
just barely
thanks to
your shield
what's gonna
happen
what can
occur
hot as
you'll go
Talim
is falling
down
is this
one right
yep
that one
right there
yeah
I want to
destroy that
guy
I want to
yes
summarize our
turns for time
if you don't
mind
yes
exactly
I want to
punish that
guy with
a flare of
blows
striking twice
for one
action
you do it
yay
I do it
bam
crit
I eat
for 16
damage
it's able
to take it
I eat
a second
time
another hit
for a 23
and I
I consume
him
boom
you mess
him up
you're no
longer
grabbed
Soren
just to
take all
the attention
away from
these
duders
near here
and not
to take up
too much
time
I wish
to finally
utilize a
feature of
my archetype
yes
Soren
I wish
to use
my
my
cast
stone
ritual
I will
share in
chat real
quick
this is
the cast
stone
ritual
along with
it
for two
actions
I can
cast
enlarge
okay
so
what
happens
is that
heart
sees
that
Talim
is being
surrounded
he sees
that
his
the newest
Lex
is also
being surrounded
he sees
that
everyone
is being
like
snagged
down
and
Beale
has found
an escape
these
duders
seem to
go
after
magic
they seem
to go
after
something
because
they have
hogged
Talim
so far
so what
he does
is that
he
he
rips
this
this one
behind him
apart
and
he slides
his hand
his foot
down onto
the ground
and screams
do you
want
meat
I'll
give
you
meat
as
hands
start to
erupt
from his
mouth
his entire
body
cracks
clay
falls
everywhere
and
he
becomes
a massive
monolith
of arms
oh
okay
and
one
smoky
head
appears
from where
his
where
his
big
neck
piece
used
to be
as
he
screams
out
in
a
inhuman
voice
and
that's
my turn
Soren
excellent
all right
this one
looks to you
Talim
I think
this is the
yeah
I think
even the one
who's
grad
but it doesn't
matter
it all
kind of
on you
anyway
it doesn't
matter
they all
got hands
on you
it's
what
hits
you
six
points
of
damage
you
should
be
oh
you're
almost
there
you're
almost
there
this one
goes for
you again
claw attack
doesn't
quite
get you
missed
by one
it
missed
by
one
should
I
villain
point it
should I
I
will
actually
kill
you
I
won't
do it
on that
one
I
won't
do it
on that
one
computer
screen
I'm
throttling
you
it'll
be that
one
that
one
the
no
this
one
should
have
gotten
you
yeah
this
one's
the one
who's
got
you
grab
so
it
will
instead
of
the
last
action
it'll
maintain
its
grab
on
you
just
grab
okay
after its
attack
that it
did
that's
what
it'll
do
instead
so
this
one
top
right
of
you
will
look
to
you
natural
this
will
be
interesting
so
it
will
it'll
take
you
down
and
because
it
was
a
crit
you're
now
dying
too
took
me
exactly
to
zero
oh
no
that
fact
yeah
believe
is
just
doing
his
best
like
there
are
claws
everywhere
he's
being
held
down
he's
being
pulled
down
and
like
as
he's
trying
his
best
he's
trying
to
shield
block
everything
deflect
things
with
his
sword
one
just
comes
in
and
just
like
shoves
their
entire
claw
through
like
his
tattered
corporeal
chest
and
he
just
stops
and
his
shield
and
his
sword
just
fall
to
his
side
and
he
slumps
to
his
knees
you
see
they'll
just
go
and
they
keep
trying
to
get
at
you
Lex
fucking
books
it
and
runs
up the
beetle
and
begins
to
like
scurrying
through
it
this
is
where
I
went
when
my
sister
told me
to
run
don't
go
this
way
you
don't
have
to
move
it's
not
your
turn
so
okay
okay
okay
so
he
ends
his
movement
near
you
heart
can't
seem
to
get
by
you
can't
quite
seem
to
get
by
you
still
try
to
bite
you
or
not
bite
you
mostly
claw
you
down
try
to
rip
off
and
it
gets
you
your
large
low
is
your
AC
but
that's
okay
it'll
hit
you
for
nine
points
I'll
try
to
claw
you
one
more
time
heart
gets
a
natural
I
hate
here
oh
I
it's
just
only
one
extra
and
I'll
try
to
get
you
on
its
last
one
it
can't
grab
you
because
you're
too
big
but
it
fails
in
all
of
its
other
attacks
it's
got
one
weakened
one
that's
white
right
by
gray
it
will
it
will
let
you
go
it'll
let
you
go
and
ignore
you
and
go
right
for
heart
it's
only
sliding
up
this
way
he
goes
right
up
at
you
hits
you
for
only
does
four
points
of
damage
hits
you
tries
to
go
for
you
one
more
time
with
a
second
and
it'll
hit
you
for
five
you
are
now
at
dying
one
heart
yep
it'll
apply
that
to
you
and
it
had
the
moves
that's
all
of
its
actions
sorry
it's
a lot
of
juggling
beetle
has
an
idea
uh
go
through
the
hole
no
no
no
so
beetle
is
starting
to go
through
the
hole
and
he
hears
all
this
bullshit
and
he
looks
out
past
his
rub
and
he
sees
heart
explode
into
a
dozen
arms
and
it
seems
to
distract
the
zombies
the
zombies
he
sees
Lex
run
over
and
he
turns
tail
and
he
comes
back
out
he's
like
try
and
make
the
hole
bigger
if
you
can
okay
just
try
and
make
it
bigger
so
that
you
can
get
through
and
then
when
you
get
through
just
keep
going
okay
and
then
he's
going
to
pull
out
the
wand
of
heal
and
he's
going
to
use
it
to
cast
heal
on
heart
okay
so
for
so
for
wands
and stuff
because
does
specify
for
wands
for
people
I
especially
allow
them
to
use
it
go
ahead
and
click
the
cast
button
and
if
you
succeed
the
roll
there
you
cast
it
okay
or
use
wand
to
heal
yeah
there
you
go
you
need
to
add
a
charge
yeah
that'll
do
just
fine
you
failed
I have
a hero
point
you do
I'm
gonna use
it
you do
have
a
hero
point
save
your
friends
beetle
or
you
become
the
rot
you
succeed
okay
for
a
total
okay
so
I
succeed
so
that
heals
heart
for
yeah
basically
I'll
click
this
healing
button
here
you're
doing
a
two
action
heal
so
I'm
just
making
sure
that
works
I'm
not
gonna
roll
that
for
you
click
the
healing
button
there
and
that
plus
eight
okay
okay
I
don't
oh
right
here
right
here
I'm
stupid
there
you
go
three
plus
eight
who
are
you
healing
three
plus
eight
I'm
healing
heart
okay
so
we're
gonna
do
also
once
the
wand
is
used
beetle's
going
to
try
and
throw
it
to
see
if
you
know
maybe
using
it
made
the
zombies
get
some
maybe
zombies
are
like
you
know
attention
he's
going
to
take
the
wand
and
he's
going
to
throw
it
as
far
as
he
can
in
this
direction
okay
uh
take that
out of my
inventory
I'll let you
I'll go ahead
and let you
let you just
normally throw
it just
so you can
delete it
from your
inventory
yeah
and then
and you
throw it
just fine
whoosh
all the way
over there
all right
it lands
like in the
far corner
of the room
over here
sorry
move
to
let me
see
got out
of the
vines
casted
the
spell
through
the
wand
I
think
that's
it
for
my
turn
okay
this
one looks
down
at
Talim
still
it
sees
the
wand
but it's
already
got
food
fuck
it will
hit
you
Talim
this is
the one
thing
I have
to
always
determine
that
you're
pretty much
dead
and dying
Talim
does wear
armor
so
yeah
he does
but the
real question
is do I
even have
to roll
if you're
dying
technically
if I'm
helpless
no you
can just
perform a
coup de
grot
right
that's
right
there's
a value
unconscious
is
zero
ba ba ba
ba ba
1 4
times
AC
yadda yadda
yadda
take damage
for the damage
to zero hit
points
charlie do
all the
do all the
business
make sure
I'm doing
it right
you describe
the 460
just looking through all the rules here
here we'll do it this way we'll do it this way just for
save for time or whatever
we'll just uh we'll just villain point
still misses he kind of goes
into he's trying to get around your armor
and stuff like that
i am helpless i take a minus four penalty
ac everything like that so
oh yeah it's only doing flat foot of minus two
isn't it yeah so that actually the first one would have already
hit so i'll just keep my villain point
and uh you just go down another dying value
basically
and i'll count uh and i'll count this
other hit pretty much it'll go after you again
for the other claw
just horrible even the minus four
or whatever wouldn't do anything and it'll try to go for you
again
i love it what i'm gonna fucking die
it's having a bad time
good trying to just get in on you
it's like
this one over to the right
is very preoccupied with it
one of them is interested in the wand
that's over on its left
but uh it will go
hit you
hit you on that one does get you
so you're down another dying value
dying four
dying four uh but talim
is a ghost and goes to dying five
even in death i am still a tank
go for the second
and this will get talim
you are now at dying five
talim
yep
currently a lot of these things are
just going after you're just ripping and tearing
and everything else is eating your ectoplasm
all in this group
you're the most magically adept thing here
and uh you've been just
going around to king king king
just like blade swatling everything else
shield bashing
but they're finally getting to you
now a thing you can do
is that hero points people will ask you to spend all of your hero points
to bring yourself back so you don't die
that's a thing you can do with hero points
do you do that
do you spend all of your hero points
so here's my question
if i do that
what happens afterwards
we'll find out
all right
yeah talim is is he still has unfinished business in this realm
uh he is very much not done
with what he needs to do
and uh i will spend all
of my hero points
um
who come back
uh from the brink
and uh we'll see how that goes
you do so but
you're not there
and the rest of them will rush to the wand
that beetle laid
just looking for it
just trying to find any morsel of magic
great it's your turn
ah that's a lot to take in
okay
okay so uh
i'm not gonna lie
i'm my i'm stressing out
my tummy kind of hurting right now
you just saw talim gray you see talim just getting eaten alive
everything else
but there's no
and they all seem to now be done
with talim and rushing off to the wand that beetle threw
what do you do
gray is going to uh just take this last one out
she's because she's already targeting it
uh she's going to she's going to take this one in front of her out
um
bam
crit
oh
you don't even
thanks for that crit
go for all the damage
might as well
gone
wow
deleted
uh
she's gonna move over towards the wall with beetle
which uh reloads in the process
it reloads her uh her
yeah move and reload yeah
yeah
and uh we're gonna we're gonna shoot this lad here
just just just for funsies
just for shits and giggles
and i'm gonna untick that i'm gonna take that
i'm gonna do them negative five
and we're gonna
miss entirely
okay
can i reroll that with the hero point
you sure can
yay
i missed anyway
on their turn they just leave heart
and they're looking for the wand
little crystals in their back
just flashing and everything
and um heart
so uh
he's fucking huge
yep
and he's a bunch of arms
with one big mouth in the middle
uh so heart uh is not grabbed
due to being freaking huge
currently prone
yes
uh so i will stand up
as one action
right click prone off
yes
what do you mean i can't
i can't remove prone
i gotcha sorry
thank you so much soren
i uh he stands up
and for one action
i uh will walk
over
here
here
mhm
soren
yes
i am big
you are big
can i tear down the wall
you can just
punch a hole through it
or anything
absolutely you punch a hole
roll me athletics
uh
harp just
roars out
uh
in a manner that a
very big creature would
and uh i roll
a total
huge hole
you open up the entryway
allowing medium creatures
to go through
not enough for you
you will have to
kind of squeeze through
still
or just get rid of
enlarge
but you're able to
go in there
nice and easy
and lex takes the initiative
and goes
i'm out of here
and
goes right through it
oh
i'm not gonna die
like that guy did
i guess we're going
through
i can't go through
there's a wall
i can't go through
beetle it's your turn
there's no sign of
to leave over there
can i roll perception
there's nothing
sure thing
roll perception for me
buddy he was torn apart
like caught on candy
i will even run up here
to get a better look
natural 20
beetle scrambles on all
fours over to the spot
where to leave was
and he's just kind of like
and he starts like
patting the tiles
and uh that was a nat 20
to perceive
and he's an investigator
and he's an investigator
cabal
anything left behind
the only thing
that would have been
left behind
by to leave
would be his shield
you want to pick up
the shield
yeah
okay
i'll allow you to take it
on this
i'll allow you to
freely take it
real quick
you have one action
left
i go through
the hole
i run back
this way
and i go through
okay
you go through
the hole
oh sorry
ow i can't see shit
light's gone
it's fucking dark
all right
the rest of them
pretty much just
rush in
they're fighting
for the wand
they're like
gray
gray follows on in
all right
you're also through
the hole
heart
uh yeah
so uh
everyone hears
the big footsteps
of heart
on the other side
as you see
just a bunch of arms
crawl through the space
and then regular hearts

this battering
and it grabs you
beetle

but it grabs you
a little bit
and just kind of
and it releases you
