Rotgrind - Narrative Declaration

It isn't one fairy. It's five. Five bile-spitting duplicates with giant gloved grab-hands and an aura that rips molars out mid-combat as persistent bleed. The crew grinds through it on healing mist-bombs and temporal spell-strikes, only to push past the corpse-sludge and find something impossible in the dark: an entire intact cathedral of the Black Papacy, buried under Outset.

what adventure do you have
for us today
okay
okay
so
you're running
you're all running
you're all running
from a 50 foot tall
this thing
do we remember
do we remember
yes
I remember
I remember
I want to
I remember
I want to point out
that you showed the image
but on like the previous
it just showed up
I don't
I don't know why
it did the
I can scale it
but it was really funny
I see it on there
you're running
from a 50 foot tall
little
little
no
as our
as our
you know
destined band
of chuckle fucks
has made their way
back to sacristy manor
after a bit of a
rest and repose
they made their way
underneath
the manor
going into
the buried city below
following up leads
that seem to
take
take them further down
into the
the generations
of the Declan family
or at least the owners
of the manor
they came across
a very
very interesting
robot
robotic creature
construct creature
a strange robot
if you will
which they
encountered
and totally
did not send
back to Baldrick's house
as
he's gonna make it
he's gonna make it
he's gonna make it
we sent him
we sent him away
with instructions
beep boop vitamins
um
yes
and they have
now
uh
they have
they've
headed further in
where they entered a
rather um
interesting
subterranean
forest
um
best way to describe it
was sort of a like
large grove
with beautiful trees
and um
yeah
they began
exploring that area
only to find
as they entered
the immense
massive form
of this
tooth fairy
fey
began
crushing
through
the foliage
that exists
somehow
underneath the
manor
and um
all of our
characters are running
so with that
um
each of you
are running
away from the
the vast strides
of this titanic
beast
um
i'm going to
sort of
pitch this as a
chase type
encounter
and i'm going to
i'm gonna sneeze
and try not to do it
in your ears
okay
um
okay
i'm going to pitch
this as a chase type
encounter
so how this is going
to work is i'm going
to provide an
obstacle to you
um
with some like
common sort of
skills you might
use to get
through it
i'm gonna let you
narrate exactly
how you're approaching
it you might even
decide like
nathurst i'm gonna
try a different
approach to this
uh and provide me
with you know a
different skill or
even a spell or
ability that you
might use uh to
sort of set the
scene though this
immense creature
is lumbering
towards each of
you it's it's
footballs spattering
and breaking the
ground as it
moves um at
this point you
have no choice
but to rush
further into the
in into the
forest to escape
it uh its path
um so that's
going to generally
be like pushing
through some foliage
or trying to
navigate around
the foliage
and in this
case i am
going to
start with
rahua how are
you approaching
this my friend
so given that
rahua just before
the end of our
last session was
ejected in some
capacity through
the thundering
footsteps of the
tooth fairy
rahua will look
upon this giant
beast and think
oh oh you're a
lot bigger than
i expected i
expected all of
you things to be
about me size but
i don't think i can
kill you right now
and rahua is just
going to back up a
little bit and start
sprinting towards the
tree line uh with
whatever is in his
way i would think
acrobatics if not
athletics to surmount
any sort of fallen
trees that are in the
wake of this creature
absolutely either of
those is good now
you did also say you
were looking at this
creature so you can
give me you can give
me a fortitude save
please of course i
would love to
21 so you have
three hero points
for uh okay well i
rolled a four so it
couldn't possibly get
worse let me re-roll
that oh you should
have said that man oh
oh no oh okay i stay
winning i stay winning
33 years you do you do
you do okay um that's
power son that's power
that's that's the power
all right so uh rahula you
you look up at this titanic
creature and as you do
there's like a ringing in
the back of your head like
almost in your ears and you
feel your your knot teeth
begin to like chatter and
pull but you managed to
turn away from it just in
time to begin your your
sprint away from this
absolutely titanic being
um yeah your choice
athletics or acrobatics
please give me a check
here uh i will give you
athletics let me that's
your thing who was
sprinting all the while
oh there it is it was
delayed there's the one
it's been one month
there we go you look at
me
just give me a second
chat i gotta i gotta pull
up the old the old
complications she has to
look up the complications
already yeah um that's
remember you should know
better with our roles that
should always be up that
should always remember
chat if you two want to
absolutely decimate our
players you can go to
patreon.com forward slash
narrative declaration and
submit your own complication
okay okay okay okay this
one i'm gonna use this one
it's from uh cora um it is
entitled um now this
reminds me of the time uh in
the midst of trying to use your
skill you lose your focus uh to
a bit of information a side
tangent about a story or some
experience you had way back
when um and in fact you you
just kind of like rather than
properly running uh rahula you
continue on your tangent uh of
like like as you look up at this
beast and and like tell it it's
you know too far too large for
you to like deal with um you just
keep talking and talk about like a
tangent side story which i will now
put you on the pedestal uh hulky
crow of give us a weird side
story that you are now telling to
this 50 foot tall fey creature uh
made of muscle and an alligator
like mouth filled with teeth and
countless peering eyes staring out
oh my you are far too big for me to
deal with right now but this
horrible terrifying sensation of
you trying to steal my teethies from
out my head reminds me of a time
the king of moths ran a dental scam
you see there was this time we had a
small business out in the city of
oh what was it
heard him um we were running a small
dental clinic and mind you that i was
quite young at this time where he
needed to procure some kind of
viscera located in the teeth of those
afflicted by a local band of you could
call them bandits he always called them
bandits i think they might have just
been holy men but either way it
reminds me of the time that he was
ripping out their teeth it was a simple
extraction it was just reach the hand
in and pull them out and said oh well
yes you must remember rahua these
teeth are very very valuable you see
these men have them and we do not have
them so we must make use of them i
asked well king of moths why why do we
need these teeth you can't possibly need
all of these teeth oh you rahua you have
much to learn in this world my boy and
then he kept taking their teeth and
eventually they ran us out of town
because we had so many teeth that
ostensibly nobody had that business
having that many teeth point being you
shouldn't take that many people's teeth
please don't take my teethies
then it steps on you
oh my god he's talking about me i'm the
snack that smiles back
why are you standing there talking run
i just like this idea that you keep
going and then the foot comes up and
just
well thurston don't keep us in suspense
well look i'm just pulling i'm making a
little i'm making a little thing to get
the appropriate number for me to roll
oh you didn't have the number
you have to check the coffers for
enough dice to do a little smushing
i did i did i did i did i did uh let's
just i'm just gonna roll this versus
your armor class
uh still hits still hits is punk has
has he been the tooth fairy the whole
time i look i don't know why it does
this okay sometimes it just associates
me with an npc randomly and i don't
know punk'll chomp it's not very far
off it's not it's a conspiracy
yeah yeah that's right you know what no
you're you're yeah absolutely
wait didn't punk'll comp have his teeth
stolen he did he did oh my god he did
we put more teeth in him if you remember
i forgot we put more teeth in him oh
right we did i remember fucking you're
an accomplice you're right i don't feel
bad about what i did
it wasn't a crime we helped that man
i i i hmm um huh as far as our war crimes
what happens yeah uh one sec um one sec
one sec okay uh well on that um no um
yeah sure um oh yeah ruin take 54 points
of damage oh yeah i will also say that um
you're off to a great start in this chase
uh who is critical fail has slowed all of
you down as all of you like all like
instinctively take a moment to just watch
the flattening occur um all right next next
up in the the list of people who i'm going
to ask how they proceed here uh let's go
with uh baldrick baldrick you you witnessed
this happening uh but the creature's still
advancing uh how are you approaching like
the the this obstacle of like the foliage
and the trees around you i have uh the
foliage i'm going to explode it with an
alchemist fire because i've got tons of
them i'm going to blow it to pieces by
throwing bombs at it until it's out of
the way because clearly trying to surmount
it didn't do anything it just made the
tree talk
so i'm gonna blow it up i'm gonna throw
grenades at it yeah give me an attack roll
with the grenade hell yeah i draw alchemist
fire and i strike with alchemist fire
that's gonna be a grand total of 34
oh that's gonna give me uh give me some
critical damage there please blow it up
that's pretty good that's two plus four
your your bombs are exceptionally good at
just blowing through chunks of the trees
you're you're not like you barely look
back to see your see see rahua gets
smashed by the foot of this titanic being
you're throwing bombs you're clearing the
path uh you're you know you're you're
able to duck and weave your way through
this so you are doing great let's uh let's
go to uh vina vina how are you going to
proceed as you see baldrick is now just
like tossing bombs and making an opening
um rahua's you know still trying to find
the license plate of the car that drove
into him
um what are you doing
um well baldrick did just blow up the
trees that i was gonna kind of kind of
naruto hop between um so i think a bitch
is just dexterously running bobbing and
weaving and just kind of trying to nimbly
dance around all of these uh obstacles
um you know jumping over whatever i got to
i've got my funny jumping feats so i think
i'm just gonna just start moving
acrobatics me
yeah yeah would you acrobatics me i'd
acrobatics me what does that mean zoran
the bear i don't know
what does he mean by this uh it's a 29
vina you are you are able to dexterously
hop along the branches and and through the
trees even avoiding the areas that baldrick
is just defoliating on his attempt to
rush out of this uh you are you are
contributing to the cause of getting away
so very good very good very good uh
oran uh how are you approaching this
oran is going to cast uh animal form and
he's going to turn into a deer and with a
because it has a speed of 50 he's going to
like me no wait a deer that's what it
sounds like so i like you're not like
your original wonder me oran's famous
catchphrase shut the fuck up
so i oran will transform into a deer and
he will look at everyone and it's like
just imagine like a camera and it like
zooms in you just see like this frontal
look of a deer and stuff like with long
blonde hair i guess and he's just like
ride me and he begins to just gallop
like with everybody else and i try to run
away so i assume this would be a
athletics check oh god okay yeah that's
that's fine the athletics or even survival
here is fine i'll do survival to navigate
through the things yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh god now obviously tannhauser are you
going to uh are you going to mount the
deer oh that would be really cool but i
think that a deer is not an excellent
riding animal for a android you you
recall from the flashback of the deer
just looking at the entire party saying
ride me
i had i had this whole other thing i was
going to do
oh you just don't do your thing someone
else can
no of course i'm going to ride the deer
no one else gets to do it for me i'm
going to first or next to give me the
check give me the check all right that's
plus 19 here we go whoop
yep that is a 29 thurston oh hell yeah
hell yeah you were you were able to
dexterously navigate um the area around
this place and move through the trees
and in fact if someone takes advantage of
your skillful riding they'll probably be
able to get out of here too that brings
us to tannhauser you see tannhauser one
of your allies has been smashed into the
ground by the advancing uh kaiju like
fey another one is blowing bombs into
trees to advance through another one is
dancing and weaving between the trees
and another one has turned into a deer
turned its head towards you and said
ride me
very well
i owe my mighty steed and i'm going to
um get on to oran
um and we'll see how this goes
uh before we ride out though i am going
to uh uh uh uh uh get oran's attention
oran a friend is buried underfoot by this
drakeful tooth fairy
you must save him
he replies and dare
that's what i was thinking
we're of one mind and i will uh i will
mount uh deer oran uh and direct him
to not run away run towards our fallen
friend to run towards our fallen friend
he does so
okay okay so i assume you're like gonna
like do some epic like pick up rahua
type thing
uh yeah that's very much the plan
okay okay okay uh what skill do you
think would be appropriate here like
athletics or what are you
oh that's a great great great question
um yes i think that uh
hey i'm technically taking something off
of the tooth fairy's person right like
smashed underfoot right
right carry on with your logic here i
want to see where this goes
well in order to take an object really
no matter how big
to me that constitutes a thievery role
yeah sure so you're trying to steal rahua
from the bottom of the tooth fairy's foot
that is correct
yeah sure sure you know what that's
that's probably the least egregious of
like your attempted uh negotiations
i know i i'm being downright reasonable
i like you're just like can i rule society
hey guys can i rule society
to be honest chad i was expecting arcana
there but uh
i'm gonna go in thievery
you know i wish to disenchant the tooth fairy
according to all known laws of aviation
the tooth fairy should not be able to fly
okay cool let's rock as we ride ho hi ho
let's see how we do
that's a 17 on the die 32
that is a that is a that is a hum
dinger of an acquisition
um you manage to pick up your companion
expertly getting him on the back of your of your mount
and then the three of you carry off into the distance
into the depths of the foliage of this strange subterranean forest
um catching up expertly with vena
um then reaching up to where baldrick is
the the cluster of your group breaks through
finding itself now in front of a section
of of collapsed stonework
um we've now reached a second obstacle
it appears to be a set of like ancient runes
like they they they appear to be like stone
that have collapsed over um in in heavy hunks and heaps
it's creating kind of like a maze like passage up ahead
um and it's it's something you're gonna also have to get through
as behind you you hear the the booming
and you you hear this shattering sound this
and you start to feel this like ringing in the back of your ears
as this this immense figure continues to move towards you
and at this point we're gonna come back to
to the start of my made-up initiative here
for how you're tackling these things with um
rahua you see these runes
you're on the back of oran um what sorts of skills
do you think you would like to use
like to to navigate your way through this
this this set of like stone collapsed runes
that you see up ahead
that is an excellent question
now given that they are runes
and likely are some either some kind of language
or magical in nature
one would ostensibly need to
understand where they came from
to determine if they are magical or non-magical
given that
i would assume druids communicate in some
secret languages for casting spells
or i i don't really know since i don't play druids
or and i'm sorry i just don't know
i could tell you but let's see how you go
no actually you currently can
whatever fucking
you make
would i make a religion check to see if i can determine the nature of these runes
yeah absolutely
okay
here we go
third and the last one hopefully
almost a two it was 12 in the die for 27
uh yeah so you're able to to tell and immediately recognize as as you're approaching these
rooms um they're fairly ancient civilization like this would have been a much older period
of of outset's history um you can tell based off some of the strange spider-like script
that that adorns some of the sides of the stones here and some of the odd angles of the stones
the fact that these stones have lasted as long um
you can tell that this area had some
affiliation with the the entities
well with the entities known as the entities
um the the sort of unknowable
deific power the the beings that exist beyond time and space in in tine's history
um very sort of lovecraftian inspired beings that exist beyond the cosmos and were worshipped
in some of you know outset's older days
oh that's great that's good to know
so i don't know exactly where we're going in here but this is very very old as it turns out
like way older than outset i don't even know what these are talking about i
some kind of outsider i do you know about anything about entities tan hauser
um and that that is a perfect like opportunity i like that your contribution is probably like
i don't know chest first on the deer like looking over seeing this and just pointing this out
um absolutely absolutely that's that's kind of the the way you present it that that is a success
towards this like it gives you and your allies a bit of information before you're going into this
next set um but that would then bring us to uh baldrick uh so you're running next to um the deer
mounted uh rahua who is shouting these things you're on foot but you're getting closer towards uh these
stone runes you sort of see the spider-like script it's up to you how you would like to sort of approach this
uh oh
pardon me i accidentally muted myself because the car was passing and i had to mute myself
oh but we all love the car anyway my question is how does the uh how does the uh how is the rune blocking
our path it's it's like there's several sort of stone edifices that are up and and so you'd have to
kind of go into it like it's it's a cluster of several dozen if not more um you know fallen over
stones and and sections of like old buildings or or or monuments of some kind so it's just kind of like
this agglomeration of just broken over stone chunks that is formed a bit of a maze here
sounds like an excellent opportunity for me to make the maze a straight line i'm going to blow up the maze
okay dedicated focus i see an obstacle i american it yeah i'm going to use a feat that i have
because i have the demolition demolition this dedication which means i can take the set
explosives action and i am going to set an explosive in the form of an alchemist fire
on the wall to blow through it because i don't have time to figure out a puzzle i'm going through
it okay so first of all i need chat to understand what i what i just did was i'm like oh fuck how does
that feat work so i went to google and i typed set explosive into google but i forgot to put in pf2
and so the immediate thing that came up was like federal explosive law and regulation from the atf
so i'm on a list now if i haven't already been um but yeah yeah yeah uh absolutely so you can
um you you rush up with with two of your bombs managing to to set them um there there's kind of
a like a moment here um that you you sort of wait before these these explode they're going to ignore
some hardness here um so you can use two to make it more powerful absolutely so what you do is you roll
two and then uh you ignore hardness equal to your level so you're going to ignore nine points of
hardness on this and combine the damage here okay so i'm rolling the strike on these uh no you're just
going to roll the damage you got it so i'm just rolling up the damage on two of these yeah roll it
twice yeah you got it one uh 14 less impressive okay and two
very unimpressive 13 okay so well technically you know the it's 18 and 17 but you know yeah but
you're going to ignore um you're going to just ignore the hardness on this because actually you're
going to ignore most of the hardness because this is a stone wall so it has a hardness of 14.
um but your your damage just like goes there is a an immediate explosive detonation um as this goes
off the the damage is you know reasonable it's nothing crazy the second one's like you know
it's um but it is enough to to cause a bit of a a break in the wall in fact it does cause a break so
that's enough for for your allies to get through it's not a critical success like you had last time but it is
a success it's counting towards this you're making a passageway that say the deer could get through
with your allies uh without having to navigate through in strange ways so you've definitely
helped out uh vena you kind of see this baldrick has run off from the group made a hole into some
of the runes um you can see like who has pointed out what these are how are you sort of approaching
this as you're coming off sort of on the side again behind you the booming footsteps of this creature
getting closer and closer uh oh god i was gonna save these for the inevitable fight coming up soon
but i think uh i'm gonna i'm gonna use my my my new feet my new ancestry feet i'm going to use the
wings of air feet i'm going to just kind of look at this thing encroaching behind us and kind of seeing
the wall of the maze just oh oh shit and just going to concentrate and then two big cloudy wings
manifest uh behind vena's back and she's just going to take over the wall and kind of try to uh keep
pace with her companions so so you are like peace motherfuckers i got wings and then oh no keep pace
keep pace but but from an elevated position
that's fair that's fair okay yeah yeah that's that you don't even have to give me a skill check
for something like that you're you're all good to go with that using your ability is gonna count
use the success there as you kind of just take an elevated position you don't have to worry about
anything like that uh or in the deer yes excellent how can i help you uh how uh how are you gonna
handle this uh you've got like a a small hole that's been burst into the uh the stonework ahead
of you who is pointing out that it like belongs to like some ancient eldritch entities uh vena's
flying overhead you've got tannhauser hasn't quite got to act yet how are you approaching this
it's like looking at the runes and stuff would you uh would oran recognize the druidic like
language immediately on the uh rocks itself uh no no you do not let recognize the language it's not
druidic okay uh i assume he would just run through the hole unless it's too small
no it's it's it's big enough i've been blowing it up awesome yeah it's it's yeah it's enough for
you to get through um so are you just gonna kind of like rush through and go into the area yeah i'm
gonna rush through following behind baldrick because oran trust baldrick all right give me a will save
fuck give him a will save to trust baldrick oh i saw that one it skipped i got a 36
lucky day you bolt through the hole in the stone you you go perfectly sliding between it and as you
do so um you find yourself in like an area of starry darkness as the stones above and around you seem to
choke the lambent light that exists and seeps into this area and as you you do it you can hear like
chattering whispering voices but they don't get you because you're a fucking deer and you don't care
about any of this no you just burst through um but as this is going on a quick question just to make
sure uh i didn't miss what uh you wanted for tanhauser right like did i no no no no no not at all
not at all okay we call this last thing all right end of my turn this yeah yeah in fact you get a
critical success because the deer is just so absolutely unaffected by all this bullshit in here
um that it's just like oran you are you are focused on getting out you are running but that does leave
us with tanhauser uh tanhauser how are you wanting to approach this situation now all right at this point
you can tell that like oran has has already like you know take is about to take you this is kind of
happening simultaneously right he's about to take you into this hole that's been carved into the
side uh who is like shouting out that it's like you know entity based strangeness um veena is flying
suddenly and baldrick has kind of set you up with the hole what are you doing all right tanhauser is
happy to be the last one out uh riding on uh uh oran's back uh speeding along he looks at everyone
sees veena flying off sees baldrick blowing another hole open then escaping so just before oran jumps
the gap uh tanhauser is just going to shout out once we pass befuddle the creature i will give us
cover he's going to take an object from his pack light it up and i am going to drop behind me just
before we leave the gap a smoke stick and i am going to uh throw it on the ground creating this
huge plume of thick opaque smoke and i'm going to try and hopefully use this to not only aid in people's
um ability to look behind themselves and not have to take a will save but also ideally to make it slightly
easier for us to get away from them making it harder to track us yeah give me a stealth check
please i would love to i i admit there was like a dark moment there speaker where i was waiting for
you to be like i throw out caltrops but it didn't happen i didn't i don't like pick them up before we
left here if i had then maybe everything would be different yeah um oh my i made the mistake of
popping out my character sheet i forgot my god haha he he he ho ho okay cool
stealth and i'm going to also just make sure we get the smoke stick it's no longer my inventory
yes it's finally gone i made that so many sessions ago and now you've used it i've been holding on to
it i've been holding on now's the time in fact it's in fact it's so old it's so old it's using the old
name because it's smoke ball now yeah this is this is uh this is uh uh one of those german
hand grenades the ones that you look like plungers yeah stick grenade funny okay so as you as you do this
um you you manage to to throw the smoke uh bomb at the last minute it sort of creates this this this
plume of smoke blocking off the exit you hear this this immense chattering
from behind you as the ground continues to shake it seems like all of you are now like getting
momentum getting ahead of it um you know whatever strange like starry dimension you briefly find
yourselves in um quickly dissipates as you rush out from the other dimension between the rocks um
aloft by a deer or with a with a will that that far surpasses it um and and the entire your entire
group makes it to the other side of the ruins where you find yourselves back into sort of a forested
area you can hear the stomping this this this creature this tooth fairy is still approaching but
you've you've you've slowed it rather significantly giving you a bit of a bit of breathing room you're
still being chased by it certainly but like you've gotten ahead of the pack with your with your smart
thinking and it's kind of like lost the immediate trail of you it's it's still following in the general
direction um but as as you like come out into the forest you all sort of regroup together still
maintaining momentum and and moving as quickly as you can but you just hear this like this
like snapping sound coming from the trees
and then you just hear this ah came to the wrong side of town hoot hoot as uh you look up and see
several several creatures uh how will like entities staring down at you dozens of them
from the trees above it's him again are they all like snapping like in a gang god
yeah exactly um and so you realize now that the the third obstacle in in this this chase is you
have now uh encountered a conclave of sawsaurers
so this time i'm going to actually let all of you decide how you want to go navigate this obstacle
uh and i'm going to let you pick pick which order you want as a group you can pick who would like to
sort of start navigating this in the best narrative just like is like he trots up behind rahua the hoof
goes on his bag and i think the solution to this problem is i affix a bomb to it and blow it up
true it's waiting for bulgic to be like well much like the last two obstacles
i got i got i got seven more of these damn things dude i i elect rahua to be the first to act because
if he fucks it up what happens next will become inevitable that is so true you go
so i will i will just take up the the laying down prone tree man lift him up and then just
just hold him towards the saucers let him speak talk tree man talk all right all right hold on
for who will brush the grime off himself from being stomped into the dirt
it appears there's another of our kind in our midst friends much bigger and much taller than i had
expected
i don't suppose you're willing to let your king in his quarry pass
what and then you you you like the the the chattering stops
hoot hoot we follow no kings we're democratic saucers hoot hoot oh sweet no
we can't hurt these radicals how sad didn't they tell you that fade democracy always fails
it always comes back to us the stronger bigger fey to eat the little ones if they get out of line
wait hold on that's pretty that's pretty reactionary
you told me to talk to them tenhouser these people are a democratic union they've split from
your monarchist regime they've they've clearly grown tired of your tyranny you should respect them
and allow them to continue to exist within their own syndicated commune tenhouser we're going to
fucking kill them if we don't get through them hey guys do you hear that thing getting closer
uh uh uh i'll step in no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
okay you're just gag just hitting sitting on the deer at this point
all right i'm gonna i'm going to uh to to ask uh my good friend now that i've set the the stage of
the uh the saucer commune um rahua what skill check would you like to use to bypass or overcome this
obstacle that is an excellent question you should do crafting to try and make an excuse to get through
this wow
well i'm not gonna do diplomacy because i don't have anything for that skill
i like i like on the on the stream we have the uh the rapidly approaching like yes over top of
i forgot i was on there for a bit so the saucer just coming at you in my five
he's just sitting there quickly
friend saucers i similar to what my friend had said upon my own suggestion he didn't come up with
this at all he's not he's not very democratic i understand that
i respect your autonomy and i think this whole fey hierarchy is quite stupid if i'm being honest
perhaps we might strike an accord in something greater than them there are powers far beyond
and you are i that would afford us so much more in overcoming
these archaic systems in place and oh but you can be all the more free to do what you want and
so discord as you would it is to your inclination so far as i am aware
what say you let us pass and after we're clear of this mess
i could guide you to something far greater to your own ends
and i would like to use a cultism of the powers beyond
okay okay okay i also am imagining like the bead of sweat as the speech of yours goes on from every
one of your allies as the ground is shaking within each step as it's getting no i'm just like i'm
taking out grenades i'm ready to go to option two it's like that scene from total recall where they're
trying to convince arnie's character oh yeah yeah uh it's all a dream you should wake up and go back
like if it fucks up the moment i'm just gonna get my head blown clean off
all right roll a cultism let's let's see let's see what happens let's find out the powers beyond
uh i'm gonna hero point that i don't feel confident in a 17. it's it's probably a good one yep let's see what happens
dodecahedron sucks i hate these fucking dodecahedrons you know fucking nat one
i don't like you foundry we say to the dodecahedron yo pussy stink horrible hello okay okay um
um you wanted funny mister oh yeah no i've i've just got a just gotta find a good uh
no i've got to find out i've got to find a good good good option here there's there's there's there's
a couple um as as rahua has one of his epic rahua speech moments how can i best ruin this
oh
you should make him drunk
he can't get drunk yeah no but do it anyway it'll be funny
i want to i want to find a good one from one of our
feet what hell okay okay okay i this one just jumps out at me we're gonna use this one
as long as it's not i rip my character to rip my pants i will leave the game if i get that
fucking complication no it's it's from spoozy it's like as you have this excellent and again everyone's
getting worried like the sweat dripping down their face the creature's getting buzzer boom boom boom and
then what in god's name are they even building over there uh thanks boozy uh some
started up an industrial grade construction equipment somewhere near your location and
the racket is so loud you can't even hear yourself
like verbal communication is significantly more clumsy i think i have i have a construction sound effect
actually this is i think the fun sounds sounds of a dumb trick backing up i kind of i kind of do it's
not actually no we're gonna we're gonna commit to this hold up uh youtube one sound effect as well
yeah hold up uh construction sounds
background do me a favor we're gonna try to time this up together um i think i have construction noise
just start talking and i'm just gonna slowly surely increase this but just like
every like half second just be like you know it's getting louder
okay okay we have to do the thing hulky continue your epic occult based speech and we'll ruin it
this he gets to have you won't be able to hear from me but and scene
there are things far beyond the fae the grant powers far beyond what any of you would be capable
of on your own there are great and terrible things out in the dark but what discord you can
sow with your fae powers there is so much more so much more out in the out of the great beyond
the anarchy the anarchy is everything it's all the chaos you can possibly imagine
okay it's done
well now
uh did you hear any of that hoot hoot we're building our town hall hoot hoot
all right this isn't gonna work let's kill them okay so that was who was a critical failure so that
actually applies a penalty to all of you um who wants to go can i go next no let me give me one
more chance you had your chance we were strained tan hauser down
you have no diplomacy i don't need diplomacy i believe he's got radicalism
i'm going to take out from my person many of the documents the books the propaganda leaflets i am going
to take a huge slew of paper i am going to activate my nanite surge while none of us can hear each
other think over the sound of the saucer construction crew the little saucers with little little jack
hammers the saucer bulldozer that's moving big blocks of hay or whatever it is they use to make their
noise i'm gonna do all of that i'm gonna exercise every single bit of political know-how and i am going
to with my my hands moving at lightning speed from scratch devise an articulate charter of the
independence of the democratic community of the sorcerers as located within the periphery of the
fey wilds to be fully and legally recognized as an independent polity yet still within the commonwealth
of the kingdom of the rahua fey king of the sorcerers llc and i'm going to make society and i don't care
what the dc is i'm gonna do it ellis did you turn their government into a business it's too late
all i need to do is preserve our monopoly on state violence that's exactly what a democracy needs it
needs corporate interference he also referenced the fey wild so he's like d and d-ing our saucers yeah now
you're gonna get the country copyright strike i mean the fey the face of the civils yeah there you
go close whatever nerd do you yeah okay just make your society roll 30 let's go oh yeah okay okay okay
there's there's like a like fluttering of saucers who come down they they're starting to make a little
bit of a path with which you might be able to proceed through you just kind of hear this
oh that's a good point
and as you can see from this charter on subsection b12 looking behind me the giant tooth fairy is still
coming let's just skip to beef 14. uh just you can verify these and sign these with you
oh there's like there's like a little there's like a there's a saucer with like a bob the builder
hat by you very good very good um i imagine there's like a couple saucers and like some like big
wigs and some other like old-timey clothes tossing tea in the stream somewhere
and there's another one shooting rockets and making a song out of it just something
yes all right well uh ted hauser you've definitely um distracted some of the saucers
um you've you've you've made it easier for you to pass through their commune um
so who wants to uh to to continue your your influencing here uh on this event there's three of us left
it's vena oran and me jesus christ i don't know how i follow that one up
hey hey odo odo i got an idea uh-huh follow my lead thurston yes
i rolled a stealth i'm going through it i'm leaving yeah okay yeah yeah just like okay okay i'm
fucking out of here yeah yeah for sure baldrick uh here we go said form the soviet union fuck you
i hate you i'll give you a 30 as well there you go yeah so like
10 house giving this like excellent overview of like their their their new like you know
charter as baldrick is like we're doing we're doing the dynamic we know best tannhauser does
something huge and ostentatious and socialism themed and i leave
that is correct that's our bit that's our bit this is very good it's very good it's very good yeah
absolutely um okay okay okay okay okay um well then that would bring us to um either orrin or vena
all all you odo i'm a dear oh christ okay um well in that case have they have they parted enough for
my friends to be able to move through reliably at all or is it just kind of like a couple of them are
distracted you you you feel like a couple of them are and if you don't like add or like directly
contribute to getting away uh you don't quite have enough to get through here unmolested you're pretty
sure gotcha all right in that case uh so huh you you you drafted this document um
um you you've got all your pamphlets and stuff right yeah of course yeah so as part of the uh
independent revolutionary commonality commonwealth commonwealth commonality i should say uh in that
case i'm going to join in doing the big and stupid thing i'm going to reach into tannhauser's back
pocket i'm going to pull out a bunch of the pamphlets of which i'm sure he has like hundreds just somehow
in there of course yes definitely his endless pockets full of pamphlets and i'm going to uh i'm
going to use performance if you'll allow me to essentially be the hype man for this new revolution
i'm going to start throwing pamphlets and just it's time for a celebration let's go and like hyping up
their new uh their new government uh which all right is uh abbreviated to the uh irccss the
independent revolutionary commonwealth commonality of syndicated sorcerers
that's going to become a solaris faction at some point i hope so
all right yeah um i'm gonna like start a chant like you know i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna hype him up
i'm gonna get everybody having a good time uh let's let's see
all right all right so i'm gonna start a little saucer or a party and perhaps with that nat 20 if
i could convince you to not only do they let us through but it's really tough for that tooth fairy
to follow us through all of this commotion you know i'm gonna like i don't know about that
um it's it's definitely a success and it's gonna let you succeed at this obstacle
like in fact in fact you succeeded so much that your your your path to success is clear
unless the deer critically fails oh mother
fucker oh yeah because you all have to take a check to overcome the obstacle
so
i was gonna do something that didn't use any of my core skills
it's going to really fuck things up
oh please
you could roll a stealth because you're just a deer right yeah but it wouldn't be as funny
but it would be you'd be a deer that's pretty funny so deer are funny have you ever seen them
they just look at you and they're like
that is true like they could be saying that so i have two options crew i need you to help me decide
either or option one i go with the stealth idea because i'm a deer and they just shouldn't really
be paying attention to me they just think i'm just like a mount or something right well that's a deer
yeah yeah it's just a deer man you know they're just moving along you know we don't really have to
focus on it or two my idea was that because of the whole new government they're making they need
like an icon right like what's their what's their uh like state animal or something you know and i
was gonna like pose myself with you know with tan hauser basically on top or whatever you know holding
his sword aloft as there's like the mighty deer and i kind of stand up on a rock to perform like a
great pose because he'll notice one painter salsa were just covered in paint or something
and then that to inspire that sorcerer and that sorcerer go like i know what to draw
and then just basically have like a painting of us like on top of an orange deer so really
important this is determining if their flag sucks okay yeah yeah yeah so they could also they could
all you could just stay there forever and let them you know chisel a statue you know yeah we hear
the footsteps coming the tooth fairy gets like oh sorry oh you're in the middle of something
here oh i'll hold up all right the tooth fairy's a comrade so crew option one or two
i like two
i know what i know what's going to happen
so the shock all right so thurston can i convince you to a nature check for this
to be majestic yes um i am a natural animal
i am an animal yeah and you are a natural animal i will i will grant you you the use of nature to
prove you are the absolute embodiment of a natural creature right now by the way chat this is how you
run a chase encounter uh go go please please oh thank you guys i would have to like vouch for performance
which is a plus one all right nature here we go i'm gonna meet teeth until i'm 37
yeah let's go all right so for now on uh
the ic what the fuck was it icss or the irccss irccss thank you uh the irccss will forever have a deer
as its flag um and people will question that for for for ages to come but but there is an absolute
elegant deer that captures the attention of all of the sawsaurers just long enough uh for the the
vast kaiju-esque um entity of the of the tooth fairy to slowly move its attention towards the party but
the party has managed to to make its way out of the sawsaurer commune
into our next obstacle it's a car the car there's chainsaw cars down here it turns into
a car chasing just everyone hops in the car we gotta go oh my favorite movie all right so everything's for
family sorry go ahead thurston oh just get it up all right uh you you you eventually make your way
out um having having again like got a bit further ahead like the the the the tooth fairy is still
approaching it is still shaking the ground as it approaches and it's still visible in the far off
distance but you've put a lot of a lot of space between you two um in fact at this point you can
see sort of stone ceilings far above you hundreds of feet above you with little sections and shafts of
light either artificial or natural it's hard to tell poking through but as you you approach ahead you can
see that um there is a a stream like a brook of water um maybe 10 feet across um that that is sort of
separating you uh from from this like other sort of open space uh which leads then further into the
forest up ahead but as you as you approach this this this brook you you hear this
kind of uh from all around in the water
or it looks at the rest of everybody else and says
i don't speak that language sorry i don't speak italian
i roll i roll to freeze the water forever with the frost bomb
okay howdy there no time to talk
oh i'm not doing that someone else do something first i'm i'm i'm i'm the fallback in case initial
goes bad i like i like i really appreciate that from your like i'm just gonna sit here with my bombs
for when the rest of you fuck up hey i didn't use them on the previous one i was a good boy and i
just left yeah have we seen the source of the voice no it's kind of like coming out from the water
hello the sauce source all right well i guess i'm the only one with diplomacy as we've learned yes
i will approach to the water hi there friend mind if we cross real fast oh i'm the babbling brook
it's a pleasure to meet you you know i haven't had people here since tuesday and i think it's
wednesday now but it might be thursday time it's babbling it's away from me and i've got to figure
yeah you know how the easiest way to figure out time is and i've been thinking to myself maybe what
i need to do as he's talking as he's talking i'm going to be responding just like keeping up casual
conversation with them just like oh yeah oh awesome yeah that's fascinating oh really dude and like
keeping up this conversation i'm gonna like flutter to the others i'm gonna uh uh gesture
to tan hauser to give me his rope and i'm gonna flutter to the other side
okay okay okay wait wait wait so you're gonna fly above and like set a rope on the other side
yes okay okay okay well something happens i'm gonna keep a conversation i'm gonna keep a conversation
i'm gonna be talking jovially yeah that sounds yeah oh yeah so you're like flying over uh okay so
are you trying so so like is your intent here to be kind of like sneaky or are you being more talkative
um i'm mostly trying to it kind of just keep its attention it obviously wants to babble at me so
i'm gonna indulge it in the conversation just as i'm walking around so is is your focus on like
stealthily doing this uh this setup of the rope or is your focus on talking to it what's what's your
focus here hmm question this is a poison pill question uh it depends on what i'd roll um yeah
i would say i'd be focusing on talking to it kind of using deception to uh kind of uh keep it
distracted enough for my friends to get across okay uh yeah give me give me deception
all right
27.
so you are able to keep it but as you attempt to cross something happens its attention is wrapped
on you as you're talking to it it by the way hasn't stopped talking this whole time let me be clear
oh good but um as you are sort of flying um basically like just as you're about to reach the other side
a massive like jet of water comes up and wraps itself around you uh will the 32 hit your ac
um maybe okay so like it grabs it grabs your leg and pulls you down
and like you're you're kind of like being held in the water now as it's like well you see it's just
the tuesday is a special day i think but i don't remember much about days anymore and it's you know and
so you've like you've you've kind of succeeded in a sense of distracting it a bit but you haven't
like got some guaranteed way for your allies to get across yet like you've you've taken some of
this babbling brooks attention away but that's correct all right i'll just i'll just begrudgingly
huck my end of the rope to the other side and try to tie it around something just like shrug your
shoulders and look back at everybody i'm gonna kill i'm gonna kill the water okay who wants to go
next me please let me freeze this damn thing to death go for it okay i'm going to throw a frost
bomb at it and hopefully either create enough of a path to get through or you know kill it
one or the other i baldrick hates frivolity of this nature he hates the fae he wants out of here
he wants out of this goofy rumpus room okay he will destroy everything anyway frost vial here we go
oh that's 28. yeah that that's gonna hit the water does that hit the armor class of the water
it does but give me damage
please don't freeze me 14 so funny you should mention that i don't know uh oh my god so there's
like this path of water that freezes and like baldrick you expertly throw this bomb it lands in
like the perfect area um you are definitely contributing towards the success of getting
everyone across you've created a passage for them to to sort of go across but like it also freezes
because you're smart in a way that doesn't hit veena but veena's like beside it so she's being
like held in the water as this like ice bridge forms from one of your bombs um and so you've
definitely assisted and like the whole time like this brook is still babbling at veena like wow that
tickles you know i haven't been tickled since oh gosh it's been a while i think the last time i was
tickled was when oh there were some saucers they came here and i really thought that they were just
gonna you know be here for forever with their own and they're all right can you understand how
much they who they who'd all the time i think that's all they ever do and it just like keeps going
who wants to to go next
rohua tanhauser or uh oran i'm passing the conch to tanhauser and oran i i am passing the conch to
oran wow to water or oran will leave out of deer form because he can't cast spells for this
and um like oran will look down upon the babbling guy and go like
it's like we don't have time for this murder is an option
and he casts thunder strike on the babbling guy
he's like you'll be fine
and he casts a fifth level spell
which is
okay
it needs to make a reflex save so whatever i could i could just yeah yeah however you want
to figure that out i guess because i don't think you have them steady
okay roll damage oh that that crits wait does it create it's too
that then no no no no no no it would have to be it's gonna be a success it's gonna be a success
roll damage that is a lot that that is 5d12 in 5d4 sonic damage that's well it rolled crap 37 points
of damage to this guy or just goes let go of my friend and just like like the whole song of i'm
the star that is approaching like this plays it's like a thundercloud crashes through and strikes this
guy hey vena how much damage do i take you want to give me a reflex i'd i'd love to i would love to give
you a reflex save actually technically you're giving orin a reflex save oh that's a net oh did you roll a nat
one oh no you're gonna die
why did you yeah did you did you you
fuck i like i like that
hold on i refuse to take responsibility they can't re-roll natural ones
okay give me give me a sec because we have special ones for saves and those are uh those are
always fun i can't wait for this to instantly kill vena that would be very funny we're going back to
this once again yay i i can't i i i can't wait i can't wait how much hp do you have like obviously
i'm not gonna one shot you i'm at full i'm at full it's not gonna one shot me maybe no but the the
the thing is is that thurston's going to find the thing that is like ah because this is a thunder
strike vena has been vibrated to jellies now amoeba i'm gonna do like 74 damage to you
i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna use this one because it's just good all right so so yeah uh you are
gonna take 74 damage vena as you critically fail and the spell effect smashes into you um
um i'm going to take this lovely um this lovely uh complication submitted by our good friend my
name jers um just entitled sandal deckland jump scare oh he's gonna appear like low to your god
you are now thinking about sandal deckland game the second condition that is that is the
complication and you're having my leg frozen and struck by lightning really makes me think
of sandal deckland it's apparently some so basically i'm not talking to sandal deckland
as you like get flow like blasted out of the water and land on the ice bridge
hey hey folks can i get a quick picture of uh sandal deckland i'm going to make a very
funny image keep going um all right i'll get you i'll get you a picture of him and orin that
counts as a success very good you've contributed um that is in the race to the bottom for rahua and
tanhauser and how you wish to contribute to the escape from the babbling brook i i have it okay
tanhauser is going to walk to where uh veena is okay all right this is stupid let's go i'm going to
just put my hand on veena who is presumably smoldering and like on the ground family guy dead
pose yes i'm gonna cast freedom of movement and i'm just gonna drag her out and walk away
wait well am i was i shunted back onto the other side like am i back where i started well that's how
i thought it was you're like shunted onto the bridge basically so tanhauser would sort of walk across
see you with like the water still clinging to you like i i guess disgustedly cast freedom of movement
to get you out of the the grapple of this thing and then just drag you across the ice
and like yeah 10 hours where you do this and this is real whoa that was a whole dilly of a pickle
you know i haven't eaten a pickle before because there i don't really have a mother it's really
just water with my gun oh boy i can't really kill the river it puts up have you tried damper
the bobber is like have you tried killing water i'm working on it and you're doing such a good
job at that sweetie wow oh who was gonna just drink the river how wide is this i'm sorry
how wide it is how wide is the river um like it's not that like the river itself is about 10 feet wide
like the the frost bomb like i kind of like you know took some took some liberty to make it like
go across the whole thing of course yeah uh i would like to long jump
okay i like that you don't want to walk across the bridge you're like fuck this i'm long jumping
i will long jump over the bridge so okay i will stride towards the bridge that has been made across
this babbling brook and i will make a long jump assuming that if i am to not clear the bridge somehow
i will at least land on it and not land in the water okay this is tactical think
do a backflip well in this case in athletics but yes dc15 athletics let's find out let's find
theoretically theoretically i cannot fail this role okay theoretically
okay okay it's fine you you manage to to long jump across but but the brook has something to say about
this oh hello there uh my friend will 32 hit your ac gee thurston i wonder okay so so like as you
leap across another tendril of water comes out and grabs you the rest of your companions have now all
across the brook uh they're on the other side uh you find yourself smashing into the opposing shoreline
this this this like tendril of water wrapped around you and you just hear like all around the
whoa you're a you're a strange one you're like a tree you know i have a lot of trees around here i
try to be friends with them they don't talk back will you talk i wonder why they don't talk to you shut up
um wait was hurting his feelings an option then it then it let's let it let's go and it's like
you didn't have to be mean about it and then like the river just kind of darkens
fuck you you had enough you had enough success points already so i was just doing that because
also die
how dare you is there like something from dune that just sucks up water and evaporates it
yeah yeah yeah we get bad lambs chugs in here yeah yeah just throw the god
and as you like and as as you as you like manage to pull yourself ashore who after your your your
biting retort the the water has darkened um it it goes still until it suddenly ripples with the boom
boom as the tooth fairy's shadow looms in the distance but ahead you seem to see what
appears to be a light in the forest all of you can see it like a light in the distance
there's grandma's house we have to go now does anyone have any healing potions oh
shit i do what are we even what are we even going towards i don't know but it's better than here
let's just go to the light
fena's giving up we have we have all this ability to see if this is actually the sun or the equivalent
of the sun for whatever this is in here or we're going directly towards god's air fryer and he's going
to get us it wouldn't be the worst thing that's happened to this group you want to be air fried you want
to be air fried some days let's go to thirst am i permitted to make an action while we're moving
yeah yeah yeah what are you what are you looking to do uh is vena still being dragged or is she like
standing up uh i assume she's gotten onto her own feet at this point yes correct okay uh
uh ruhu is stressed out about the river encounter mostly because it was a social situation and he is
forgetting to include the pleasantries of healing so a shimmering black i would hate to call it a blade
but a spike manifests from his hand and he runs it through volley and volley will heal for
uh i have the damage calculator right here not damage it's it's good damage you will heal for
600 damage 48 i'll expend one of my cleric fonts to heal valley vena i was missing vena
fuck uh you will get 14 plus 32 healing so 46 healing that's a little over half of what she lost
true yeah so you know that he'll supposed to do it all for you next time or do it uh then no next
time and as i could do it again as you as you're not a little bit of time but all right so as as you
as you do it you you begin making your way in towards the denser area there's there's a light ahead
it appears to be a section of like the stonework that has that has faded away um and like broken apart to
have a light beyond it some kind of some kind of strange light like it looks almost natural
but as you approach it you start to see in the air tiny wisps of light no more than an inch or two
fluttering in the air and there's like a harmonic sound and like things just generally feel peaceful
what are you doing i don't dress like that we are all going to die
we can do it guys i mean that thing's still hot on a trail but
but about familiar with some woods like this i could probably see past the trees a bit better here
just follow me i believe we'll be okay and then orin will kind of like like kind of bird hop yeah
like sure to continue forward and kind of like gliding there you you the the little motes of
light sort of move around you and you hit this yeah you can do it yeah absolutely yeah we can't see
you're awesome you made a good job yeah yeah
i don't trust like that
i perhaps make a check to elucidate us as to the true nature of our current circumstances yeah what kind
of check do you want to give me or analyzing the obstacle as it were i could give arcana or
occultism your choice is more appropriate i'll choose the one that has the bigger number sure
that's arcana for listeners get 23 on my arcana um okay so this is this is certainly not a
an arcane based or even a cult based thing this is certainly more nature again um but tanhuzer with
your success you you're you're able to tell you've encountered like a a group a large group of
sprite-like fairies and like almost as you analyze this you you hear their voices again cheering you on
just yeah you're almost there yay come on you you just have to make it through fairy plum village yay
damn them can i roll a nature check to identify the yay creatures absolutely you can orrin it's like
yeah yeah it's like i love positive reinforcement yeah i relate 12 for a total of 31 for orrin for his
nature uh these are like some of the most minor positively aligned fey like they're creature minus
two like tiny flying sprites that have like one or two hit points um that that just live and their
existence is based on positivity and happiness come on guys they're fine like these guys are actually
helpful hey can you guys help us get out of here to safety yeah it's just ahead you just have to make
it through there yeah just that way yeah come on guys you can trust them or we'll bird hop
i suppose our visiting expert says so but what trials fair creatures await us in sugar plum village
this is the village yeah we live in the trees and as you like look around you see like little houses on the
on the side of the trees
can i can i go next
my brain is my brain is running through some ideas here and i'm wondering if thurston is going to
do as i predict and have these funny little creatures be vicious and evil and conniving and there's like a
an abattoir of corpses somewhere and i'm just gonna sit there i'm like
like that's so thurston no it would be it would be more thurston to let him ruin this ourselves
these guy i believe everything here is actually completely mundane and nice everything is exactly
what it appears to be and thurston is counting on us being too paranoid and jaded to let that go and
we're gonna make the problem i am extremely jaded that's why when it comes time for me i'm just gonna
keep walking all right all right well um i'm not gonna answer one way or another but yeah yeah i bet
i i i will follow um our our fair bombers example and i will bravely walk through bubblegum plum
bum bum very plum village this beautiful and idyllic land that we're quite is quite frankly too good
for us um rohua i believe you are excited to contribute to whatever the part of the chase this
is rohua is incredibly excited to contribute to what hell is going on given that rohua's experiences
the fae have all been bad uh i would like to make a nature check and given his experience
with the fae can i persuade that he has a circumstance bonus determine the nature of these creatures
yeah i'll give you a plus two circumstance bonus for all of your like notable uh investigations and like
your possession of of of you know royal regalia related to fae let's go we're making it out of the woods boys
well don't say that before you roll nat 20 oh i know exactly what these fucking things are
they are the most benign
lovable positive reinforcing creatures of the fae world
they are also the most defenseless things in the fae world and they're known specifically in the fae world
as having one predator something that likes to use them as part of its flossing technique
oh no oh you rat fuck you piece of shit
you can do it rohua you're almost there oh we gotta turn around
you know what guys you know what we're never going to encounter another creature that actively does
not want us to die or wish malice upon us like these don't they're actually completely harmless we
can just we can just go no we're not harmless look at me i've got a little spear oh yes your
your spear is so nice it will absolutely defend you from your one threat in this entire world i believe in
you the ground reverberates at that exact moment with another like we should go to the village right
away this is the village you're in the village look it's in the trees and again you look around and
you are in the village because it's it's just like little tiny bird houses built on the sides of trees
arne will look we'll hear the footsteps and goes guys there's there's a really big tooth fairy coming
or like he just knows it's a tooth fairy then i like there's a really big monster with a big just like
a bunch of teeth all around him and everything else just coming over this way yeah uh just uh living
my hair for a bit just just just live it live in there for a bit and i'll take you to safety and or
just kind of like ruffles his hair a bit just try to he takes off his hood and stuff to allow all the
little uh fairy creatures like just just just just hang on to my hair and i'll carry you to safety
no no that's just make-believe the tooth fairy doesn't exist okay don't worry about whatever
the tooth fairy is a giant things on the way in horrible points where the footsteps are coming
no that can't be true orange already made a skill check someone else
i'll look between orrin and the fairies oh they're like actually not gonna kill us like for
real for real yeah they're perfectly harmless so we're trying to help no we're we're look at us
we're totally badass we're a shield wall bunch of them like little formula line yeah they're
super badass we've that they're not gonna hurt us we could probably take a couple with us if we
really wanted to because they're it it doesn't look good for them here leave it's literally the
one thing that eats them ah that's just made up
uh in that case i'm going to look to my friends i'm going to look to the tooth fair and just kind of
i'm going to start walking toward the exit of the village and just go
hey guys come on i think i saw something really fun over here come with me and i'm going to start
running yeah it's fun yeah i'm going to gesture for the fairies
deception yeah and i'm going to have them all follow me you could also diplomacy because you're
saying like there's fun over here there could be fun over there that's not my deception fun is living
it's fun over here because you get to live
my deception is technically higher but it's whatever you think this is
the thurston hillman my good friend let's go deception let's go deception
dismeption dismeption dismeption smelch oh cringe uh that's still a 20. it's a 20. oh i don't have a
hero point but no it's fun here too look at our little houses no one's ever gonna take our houses
away from us boom uh and then for the final decider here it's baldrick um for better or worse
baldrick what are you doing oh my god it's down to baldrick to save the positive reinforcing
fairy village this is this is a metric because as a person i would really love to help them and i would
love to do this kind of thing baldrick wants nothing less than to interfere in the natural fey ecosystem
do what budget could do man i support you 100 don't worry thurston he's going to follow their
instructions and he is going to leave he's going to he's going to stealth out solo while everyone
else is doing other things yeah you're gonna have fun yeah yeah and like baldrick and veena go off i
assume at this point they're like the remainder of you of you follow um and you just hear the like
yeah yeah followed by them and then oh no what's that oh oh what what what you hear this like
suctioning sound it's got a vacuum yeah that's mouth what's happening
i feel like i should intervene in this yeah can we come back and fight the monster i tried but this is
so i already did a fucking best i i i i did my best thurston i have a hero point okay it's good
for you i would like to make a narrative declaration me too okay okay we're what are we final fantasy
prayer sequencing using all our yes oh no we're not gonna no we're doing we're doing worse than that
we're doing worse than that we're doing an earthbound prayer sequence excellent
um all right what what do you want to use your hero point for here
i believe in all societies there is always a black sheep there is always for one member of the flock
that stands out for one reason or another and one particular instance of these pathetic little
creatures that are so much braver than they actually have any right to be has lingered a little bit too
far there is only one left and it is in our presence
and um a new friend yeah absolutely i i i'm you're gonna you're gonna make me use my hero point to blow it
up i i spent a hero point it's a mortal also
i i have had it with you adding people to my house i spent here a point it also does it just mantle bombs
you can't horton hears a who this situation with the emo whoville kid or whatever the
fuck you can't do this the cycle of nature must continue baldrick like mccartney out of wings once
said sometimes you live and let live i'm paul mccartney octopus's garden that's ringo
and on this note let's take our break everybody okay okay i'll think of its name we
well so for those watching on vod or listen to podcasts we'll be back in a couple seconds but
on stream don't go anywhere we're not done and you guys can answer ask us some questions we'll say
thanks to all the people and stuff so don't go anywhere we'll be right back and we're back
hello gamers gaming hi there hi
oh i'm so glad you visited our village thank you
well you can't say that they're all dead now
no i live the one the special one oh i'm in orange hair you're in orange hair that's so great
uh you might just want to stay there for a hot minute like till we get out of here oh is it like
a game are we playing a game if you consider survival a game then yes it's very important that
you win my life is like a video game
trying hard to kill these fey okay i'm gonna hide here i'm hiding scruffles into oran's hair
wait we've got pet cash uh no we don't because i don't have it prepared
mine mine's currently holding a dragon yeah let's let's get a move on shall we we'll solve
the problem later or i'll just put it we're still technically being chased so oran begins to
you had forgotten that so as as you have uh you've you've made it through this this crack in the large
wall um of this like immense chamber you find yourselves um in in a grove uh but something was
wrong like as you start walking in you can tell that behind you um
like dimensions seem off like just a few a few steps into this room as you start sort of looking
around you can see that you're you're in a forested area but it's confined within a single room and in
fact when you look back there appears to be a a stone doorway um that that is opened with like
wooden doors on it um and as you look back you realize that it's the same doorway you used to
enter this area maybe 40 feet behind you um when you first entered and encountered the immense tooth
fairy creature um it's like you that whole chase has maybe taken you 40 feet into a fairly small maybe
100 foot wide room
oh
huh
we don't know how to chew the situation
yeah sorry i'm at a loss on that one yeah it's like we don't know what to grab onto what can
we grab onto the detail well it's it's more just like unsettling right like you you kind of look
around and you realize you ran into this space but the prior like it's almost like that entire chase
has like been the the equivalent of like a 40 foot dash and as you sort of look around you start hearing
things now like chattering like a a less immense version of the prior chattering
that you'd heard and suddenly
emerging from some of the foliage nearby you see several large shadows
and uh i look out incredibly large shadows orange points
and you see that they're tooth fairies five of them what ah okay they're not that oh
large ogroid style tooth fairies not the 50 foot tall variation you saw previously but instead sort
of larger ogre-ish creatures that emerge from some of the foliage towards you um
at this point i'm gonna get y'all to roll some initiative please uh i've already put you in combat
i don't suppose you'd let me stealth that yeah absolutely you were stealthing when you were rushing in
okay cool you can use stealth for that i will use my stealth initiative yeah i sure needed it because
i got a 20 freaking 3. 28 22. orin rolled a natural 20
all right well orin you're gonna get to go first uh as you see these creatures with their their
their sort of gloved hands and their their like immense form sort of starting to
trudge towards you menacingly all right first action i'm gonna pretty much just go gorgamonger
go and gorgamonger will release be pet cashed out and um he'll be released to the north of orin here
uh i think i dragged the token here myself i cannot can you drag uh gorgamonger north of yeah sure
for some reason one of the updates seems to have bungled a bit of these stats so i'm just gonna fix
that too so keep going awesome so uh that'll be his first action uh his second action will be to
command uh well actually he has a mature thing so gorgamonger can still move one um
orin is going to cast do apologize the first thing of the thing no you're good i think i'm gonna
have to replace some of these in just a sec yeah this will give you some time so i have a spell
here called healing well oh it's a three action one oh well i have to do that next time uh vena
you're still reasonably healthy rahua did you take a lot of damage during the chase or was that i took a
i took a lot of damage getting stepped on okay cool so what orin is going to do because uh rahua you're
gonna be let's see i want to help you out tennhauser i want to help you out by basically like
orin uh like all of a sudden you see like he likes like he mostly looks like a twig most of
the time like a skinny little guy he's like those dice rolls he rolls up his sleeve and you see like
his arm just jacked just fine just and he tries to arnold schwarzenegger uh and with the other guy
actor i can't remember his name just do that c with you going tennhauser brings out his arm i'm
gonna give you haste ah then that case i should return the favor are we just gonna give each other
haste i guess i could on my turn uh you can give vena haste yeah i could give vena haste well if i just
spent my turn getting haste maybe your haste would be wasted and i'm being too hasty to haste others
you have haste uh so you put the quick and condition buff on you on your token there and
uh you will now be you'll be hasted there'll be the first extra for orin that's the two actions
to do haste on tennhauser above him for this fight uh gorgermonger because the mature thing have one
free action that gorgermonger can just do um i will have him position himself pretty much in front of
these guys or one of these guys here just to kind of tie him up he can't attack just yet but he's
just going to kind of get in that range make it harder for that tooth fairy can you have uh gorgermonger
give me a fortitude save please absolutely he gets a plus 16 to his role he rolled a six for a total of 22.
okay um so as gorgermonger goes forward you see him you see him sort of move forward um
there's like a like
and you you hear like some cracking sound as one of gorgermonger's tooth teeth flies out
and goes into the mouth of this fey um so
this is gonna do one sec here i'm gonna think i should be able to do this oh gosh how do you do
these now um sorry this some of the updates here have changed some stuff around how do i and there
we go there we go there we go okay um you can tell he is now taking some persistent bleed damage
and is also off guard swore some salty water in your mouth
um and that is the end of your go right yes i'll click and turn there you go
all right so in turn one of these one of these large brutes is going to go next
um 25 so i think we're going to move to there with one move um
then as it moves up it sees the group
and
it's like what can i do how can i do this i've been playing a lot of dragons dogma
and stuff so i just keep wanting to like look at them on be like like beware of venturers
tooth fairies a week to fire and ice both and just um it's going to unleash and like exhalation of
teeth this thing comes out from the foliage and blasts out a cone of jagged teeth um tooth breath
tooth breath i require from vena tanhauser and baldrick a um dc25 basic reflex save
you got it i got
so the awkward thing i kept looking for a sound effect like i don't have a tooth shooting sound
effect so i guess heroes will do uh so vena you you will critically succeed um so you will take no
damage from this i rolled a 20. huh i rolled a 20. yeah um and uh the rest of you both baldrick
and tanners or you'll both fail
you will take 27 points of piercing damage as the teeth smash into you both of you
ah you've wounded me undo that uh and that will be that one
oh why did i wound you twice that is weird
yeah okay uh and that is the first one then another one goes
this one is going to walk up and do very much the same except it's going to hit all of you
so everyone give me a reflex save great first then why are we why did you bundle
us all into the middle to breath weapon us like three times
i'm gonna i'm gonna take a little bit of umbrage with you mister that's fair
like come on more enrolled a 16 for total 33 verse reflex sweet it's a 30
24 27 so everyone but tan has her passes
sick so uh i believe vena oh actually sorry vena you fail huh oh yeah evasion only six uh goes only on a
success yeah uh uh uh i think i probably should re-roll that because no damage is better than any damage
yeah so if you pass it's uh 50 or if you succeeded it was 15 otherwise it's 29 piercing so um and i will
just do that i think everyone here succeeds except for 10 or so i'll just do a little badass
yes i think this will work if i select all of you and click half
it does correct okay i i i have evasion so i think i should take nothing oh that's right yes you are
correct you are evasive uh okay so that's that one okay um let's see here then i believe it goes to
uh what the that why is it markets defeated now you're defeated you are defeated defeated the feet
that was the one all right uh 10 hazard all righty then um okay so i am hasted so i get a free move
action that's really cool um i'll be making that once i see the success of this um because i feel
like i shouldn't move too far away from our healers after i got bludgeoned this terribly badly
uh so what i'm going to do is i'm going to have tan hauser he's going to shove his hand on the ground
uh parts of his cybernetics are going to move forward we're all coming together uh harsh into the
ground like a pile driver my quantum engine will begin destabilizing space time and i am going to
cast black tentacles okay which is not um which is uh uh i'll just post it here since i make the
attack roll here you don't oh no i make spell attack rolls against the fortitude dc of each creature in
the area and i will then where are you placing the burst my friend i will place it here sweet also uh
give me a fortitude save oh look at that graphic yeah natural natural your teeth are metal and
unaffected currently by the uh the radiating chattering aura as you feel there these fey tug at them
okay uh make attack rolls on all of these things open wide okay cool uh i'll start on this one
that is going to be a 32. uh sorry oh yeah on this one uh
on the fortitude dc was it oh no they're coming through on their tooth car yeah that's gonna succeed
awesome i will attack this one uh that is going to be a 27 that one will not succeed against fortitude dc
okay and then i will attack this one yep uh that is going to be 33 that will so the the two side ones
and the one in the back is uh not a success again so okay um so any creatures you succeed against are
grabbed so i will drop the crab condition onto both of them uh and take 3d6 pledging if you just want
to click the the damage there for fuck's sake
very good very good tanhauser very good the grab is helpful yeah the grab is the big one
one but that is like one one two you got it yeah and it's a sustained i believe so you just hold it
there okay cool yep and i'm gonna uh then uh come to over here i won't move into range of well if i do
do we get bonuses to get them what uh yeah it's not like well is there flanking against ogres yeah i mean
yeah it's a big creature absolutely yeah sure i guess i mean volley can tag team this person i'm not
moving far enough away and they've already acted this turn so i'll probably not get hit and plus you
know i do which is funny okay so yeah that that'll be my turn okay uh and turn vena or sorry rahua you're
up absolutely uh thurston would i have to make a recall knowledge check on the tooth fairy to
determine if the attack it made against us was considered magical or non-projectile in nature
or would we just assume you could give me a nature check um to recall knowledge about them
that would be one action who no action okay well that is good to know then yeah i will
give you a nature check to recall now well to determine the nature a nature check to determine
their nature yes of course okay give me a check uh 29 yeah cool uh you can get a bit of information
first of all you would know that that attack is kind of like the equivalent of a breath weapon
it's physical damage it's non-magical it does piercing damage um and it's basically they can
only do it like you guess roughly every 1d4 rounds okay you would also have enough with that
to know um they're not particularly dexterous creatures easier to hit um but anyone who starts
uh within about 30 feet of them like you are right now has to give me a fortitude save so give me a fortitude
save okay
27 okay you're good um on a failure um on a failure like you know you could tell it's trying to
basically like psychically pull it your teeth out but you you manage to keep that at bay good to know
excellent so having gleaned a little bit of knowledge uh rahul will convey to the party
okay so that thing that it just did it's like a dragon it's like a dragon it's breathing the
teeth at us so if you're trying to deflect it it probably won't work also they're kind of clumsy
they should be easier to to hit now watch this this is gonna be really cool
uh rahul uh rahul will with his remaining last words exactly famous last words ah but here's the
rub rahul will extend his forearm uh much as like you'd see someone you know reaped raising up their
forearm with their open hand to their face and in doing so anarchic energy is around where the grim
tentacles are manifested begins to manifest the air shimmering with an almost otherworldly light as a
pillar of anarchic energy rises from the ground shimmering undulating with strange and unnerving
properties and in doing so i will cast stagnate time
oh and stagnate time i want you to place the burst effect i want i want you to place the burst
effect in the same area as the other effect and see what ungodly animation occurs oh no it's so hype
i don't think there's a special i don't think there is but yeah as the pillar comes up each of these
two fairies are speared for a moment with that same unlight of anarchic might and i will be the will
safe yeah i'll start with the closest one oh that's a failure so slowed one i'll do the side of the other
side one
that's a failure yeah one and i'll do the back one
well that back one is putting up with none of your shit no he's not grappled he's two for one
yeah better than nothing he's got a whole he's got a whole ammo load of teeth ready to go
i don't like that phrasing
well don't worry because who is that the end that was yeah that was two action right for the spell yep
all right so so then the tooth fairy that is by gorgamonger is going to go
um
first of all it's going to attack gorgamonger by biting at him with his jaws
it's kept open by the straps he could not bite
his weird bondage things are keeping him from biting
i'll roll a two but but but because you were so so very mean to me and i have a villain point
i'm gonna re-roll it no i'm not i'm gonna keep the villain point fine i'll miss uh with its second
attack it's going to agilely uh try to go with the glove
so it tries to bite gorgamonger moves out of the way but then it gorgamonger goes directly into the
hand the gloved hand of this thing which begins to squeeze rabanne um
23 points of uh bludgeoning damage to gorgamonger and then uh grabs gorgamonger and holds him in place
and we're going to use the old grabbed rules for now because he wears yeah uh so gorgamonger is
like held in place off guard and held in place by this like this snapping jawed fey baldrick you're up
uh baldrick is excessively angry because he's been ambushed by fey twice now and he
fucking hates that so he is going to use all of his tactical acumen he's gonna drink a cheetah
potion or a cheetah cheetah cheetah elixir cheetah's elixir i fully thought you said cheeto
i drink cheetos no i drink a cheetah's elixir which uh gives me an additional
plus 10 foot status bonus to my speed for one hour not bad i can now move 30 and i'm going to move that
30 out of the cone of everyone else let me see what is the distance here to him is 30 that's fine
so i'm gonna move there
there because i can do that now uh and so the one that gorgamonger is facing gorgamonger is
taking the shitter to that right he's he's current you look over to see gorgamonger's having his neck
squeezed by this thing he's struggling all right uh thirst and i have a hero point yes you do
i want to narratively declare this next attack is a very precise shot with this thing's mouth wide
open as it is okay because it's trying to chew on gorgamonger and it's trying to chew him to death
okay i'm going to give it something to chew on i'm going to very accurately try to throw the
crystal shards bottle directly into that thing's mouth okay yeah give yourself a plus two circumstance
bonus to the hit for that like you kind of line up this perfect shot and throw it i was actually
angling to see if i could have an effect happen if i succeed oh okay well let's let's i'll i'll take
the difficulty of trying to hit it but i want yeah yeah okay okay okay let's let's see if you can hit it
then if you're looking for an effect i'm a okay with that
i need to target the right guy because it was not i was targeting gorgamonger i don't want to blow
him up that would be way way ah no good uh yeah lack in the last that is not enough to grow i love
wasting my time that's it well does it do aoe damage it does do the splash damage yeah it does the
effect but that's not really what i wanted to do whatever yeah we're going to do this last chance
yes it didn't damage well it also it also applies curiously the effect of uh caltrops okay that's
still worth worth it yeah sort of we do have a great history with caltrops it's true yeah i can't do
anything with the whatever for it i can't hear i'll just drop it i'll just i i got it yeah cool
uh four there okay cool so
white effect okay it takes a bit of damage and they're cut we're gonna lose this fight i'm ready
okay uh i believe i don't i believe in us i do this one double moves up to here just wait there thurston
i finally can use this correctly baby this time i cast lose the path as a reaction okay the triggering
creature is striding and all that other stuff so basically it has to make me a will save and if it
fails it treats all squares of difficult terrain for its stride and critical failure it does a bunch
of other stuff oh okay okay okay okay well let's beep it's gonna be a failure so i'm gonna move it
back to where it was so failure treats all of it is difficult oh gosh yeah so as you as you figure it
out to rate it for podcast people lose the path as a reaction spell you can just keep it at your first
level spell slot it says you surround a moving creature with lifelike illusion shifting their perception
of the terrain to slowly lead them off course the target must attempt a will save regardless of
result the creature is immune to lose the path for one hour it has failed so the creature treats all
squares is difficult terrain for for this for its stride so it has to be for that action the second
action he can go normal because he doesn't have reach uh that eats all of his actions just to close
the distance with you nice nice yeah uh vena you're up okie dokie um
question about the black tentacles uh are these also difficult terrain for us yeah yeah you will
have to make the uh the checks it's it's uh i flavor these is like space-time distortion the
tentacles oh okay tendrils of gravity trying to pull this disruption back together okay so i can't
get a true flank on this guy with you oh you could if you uh came to over here
um we'd have to be on opposite side we'll say you move there tanhazer yeah so um oh do you want
me to you want me to you want me to help you out yeah yeah no i i was just seeing where my movement
uh would be because these guys are slowed so i might be able to just run up crit and get one of these out of
the way yeah um unless this guy right in front of you is really worrying you yeah technically
they're already off guard as well so you're already getting that bonus exactly yeah so like
you're where it's going to be much easier to crit uh yeah you don't actually have to flank because
they're already off guard oh they're already i'm i'm pretty goofed up um and so i feel like us working
together to burst down an ogre would probably not be the closer to your mic speaker if you don't mind
please idea small land and this is gonna be shooting teeth because then this guy's gonna run up on his
turn okay i'm i'm really close to my mic i'll just turn my mic yeah yeah you're at 200 for me on discord
and you're very low like halfway in the meter so just making sure really strong okay is it better now
okay hold on keep it there keep it there i'll balance you yeah talk normally he tells me how
i scream too much and i'm like okay i'll always balance as long as your normal speaking volume is
fine that's what i'm mostly worried about all right all right all right well anyway um thing is is that
i'm pretty goofed up a lot of us are goofed up we're probably going to need one of our healers to give
us a big juicy heal soon um i think that us dpsing this guy down because then it's gonna
drop the cop yeah
uh hopefully this guy will be held off enough gorgamonger and whatever it can hold off these
two until hopefully we get at least two of these these bozos down gotcha all right so i will target
this one uh in question thurston has it been 10 minutes since i uh or since we hit the maze
on our little running sequence um yeah yeah yeah absolutely okay so it has been 10 minutes oh no
more freedom i'm wingless no i'm wingless it only lasts for 10 minutes has it been has it been 10
minutes since uh the end of the blubbering okay yeah
all right time time doesn't exist in fairy plum oh forgive me
true all right yeah um action one i'm going to um tumble through this individual
uh here or whatever direction i would now remember you don't have to tumble through because he's
already like you don't have to flank him because he's already off guard because he's grabbed so i need
the panache though oh yeah yeah yeah that's fair that's fair okay yeah i need my finish do your back
flip okay do it up i i mean if i can just do a back flip on the spot for some panache i'll do that
uh yeah i'll go ahead and uh hit this guy with an acrobatics sure
that should do it very much so all right and i'm going to put myself here
um panache does that yes it still works what whoa whoa all right and then i'm going to use
the confident finisher and i'm gonna strike this man do it this tooth fairy
oh sorry this uh tooth fairy indeterminate gender thank you
we're so back we are so back now targeting before you apply damage oh yes uh uh critical there you
go now critical damage but actually critical finisher whoa 53
and there's the frost effect and everything else too so you get to use that oh yes it's slowed so
it's already slowed so i don't think oh no it okay yeah okay it does it increases the condition um
it has to make a fortitude save genuinely 100 okay with beefing my rolls as long as odo gets to do some
big uh yeah uh and then big chunk damage all right all right uh that was your second action what's your
third uh third action that's gonna expend the panache um i'm gonna
i'm just gonna hit him again just a regular strike yeah
oh
oh man this thing this ac fucking sucks yeah probably just got a lot of hp though so
probably so we're gonna need these uh 34. heck yeah i'd buy that for a dollar
and he's gonna make another fortitude save for frost
us yeah frost number two and he fails he's still okay so so my my bad technically i had to make the
save for the frost um which he passed the last one so this one would just be the second one so he
was he's not slowed three he's only slowed two i i misread it i thought that i thought the save was
for the off guard no no the saves for the slowed so he made the save last time he fails this one though
so he is still slowed too um yeah all right uh that that that's my action i uh uh i high five tan
hauser and end my turn based that's an action
it's a free action no it's an action somebody cast taste so i can close the door
uh okay so one sec uh blah blah any creature blah blah grabbed oh ends its turn okay that's good
that's good that's good um are they difficult train no they are not okay
cool i was just checking the the rules oh i need to uh first i need to apply caltrops too because i don't
think i did that right um did i set them on the base there no no i'll i'll get those
when we yeah just just put them at his little feet okay i'm going to double move up to there
for the first two actions and then for its third action um it is going to attack you oran of course
you attack the healer with a glove of course hold on love doesn't he need to make his save because he
started his turn within the time bubble uh no uh one sec because he was the one that succeeded remember
yeah he did but now he's starting his turn within the time one sec let me read the time bubble
let's do the bubble yeah uh begins its turn in the area oh so okay so here's the thing i shouldn't
have actually made the saves for them until the start of their turn oh okay all right yeah i realized
that which i didn't say anything because he already no no no yeah so no it's all good thank you
um okay so he's gonna walk up he is going to grab you or nor he's gonna stick his stick
his like gloved hand but you realize something oran he's not he's not reaching towards your mouth
he's reaching towards your hair no my precious boy
uh but he does crush part of your scalp for 23 points it deals 23 damage to your hair as he's like
crushing it what's going on um and you hear some like sickening crunching sounds oran you go no
they can't kill our new friend i have dead fairy in my hair checks in the mail thurston
you evil son of it i could save it well done i don't think it'd be a worthwhile use of it but
well done 47 the little the little sprite has been destroyed by the big ogre guy good job
okay erndel i'm so sorry that it had to come out this way i'm just gonna have to get two more npcs
to make up for it you're you're filling a mass grave that's horrifying so what happens next
yeah it's currently my turn unfortunately that changed everything because i because i figured
oh thirsty but just attacked the healer uh let's see uh give me a fortitude save please oh yeah that's
right i forgot to do that also vena give me a fortitude save ah i almost rolled a one i rolled a 34 for
okay oh okay wow both of you rolled 34 okay never mind cool okay oran continue with your turn
yeah yeah your your teeth are strong well entrenched
oh god okay so i have two options here basically uh i i was thinking of doing healing well for three
actions which pretty much means i point at a spot and everyone gets to touch it and go beep beep
uh so instead what i'm gonna try to do is that i'm gonna spend one action to battlefield medicine
rahua okay pretty much i want to go rahua and then i'll try to do um i'll try to do my expert dc
value for it try to hit the try to hit the expert level for it to get more thing got my healer gloves
on i got my natural medicine and stuff like that i think i did it correctly hold up no i did not hold up
uh i did the thing wrong because it went for medicine not nature as it should have my apologies
i'll just re-roll that real quick yeah do apologize and my assurance should have this automatically done
if i remember right yep my assurance automatically do that uh that's 20 hp for rahua
cool cool i got it that takes a while thank you that is one action to do that uh i will now do it for
me uh to heal me up a little bit i'm gonna do that on the expert level do assurance on that as well
okay
oh there you go yeah that's a critical success or should whatever it was
pretty much 27 to me i got that for you thurston so that's two actions for that cool my uh last
action i am going to uh basically command gorgomonger to eat that guy so gorgomonger gets two actions
now for that because they're basically transfer one for that that's all that oren can do at demote for
now now for gorgomonger he's going to look at that tooth fairy person gorgomonger's gonna give me
a save i'm gonna eat more of his teeth it's uh and he will do that is it for every time he starts
in the oil every time oh that's horrible all right here's a fortune save that's a nine for a total of 25
he's good okay and gorgomonger is currently grappled so he has to do an athletic strike to get out
yep uh actually he could still strike in it but he'll just be in it he's not a penalty here is he
immobilized because he has a mobile uh mobilized on him yeah you're uh it's applied by grabbed yeah
yeah because if you're grabbed you're immobilist and using the actions of move train okay that has
to be approved right okay uh he will he can't do anything else so he will do athletics to get out of
it there you go yeah that's an 18 on the die for total 36 oh yeah that'll a little break it oop that
breaks that he should no longer be off guard he'll target him and he will bite bite now i see your jaws
and i raise you jaws
there's a plus 16 on the roll oh i'm going to re-roll that with a hero point hero point that's
another miss i rolled a 23 if i if i only had one more unfortunately uh all the stuff i wanted to
do did not happen so he goes and nothing happens there that's the end of oram's turn
well i have a slowed tooth fairy here who is going to
lose an action to slow is going to attempt an athletics check to break free of the tentacles
will break free of the tentacles um which will be good and then is going to spend its turn
moving out of the tentacles to their the the gravitic anomalies i should say um this poor tooth fairy
loses two actions and then they'll spend its next action attempting to break the grapple
uh with a 31 which will break but then at the end of its turn
i believe you get another um
blah blah blah at the end of the turn
whenever a creature ends its turn the tentacles attempt to grab that creature if they haven't already
um so yeah uh give me another spell attack roll versus the fortitude dc speaker
you got it not 20.
uh yeah so does that no does that count as a full-on like the attack and damage or is it just i think it's
just 3d6 is gonna like the the 3d6 i'll say is doubled here but that's it okay that's that's that
is perfectly fine by me i'm just gonna roll three six yeah i'll double it for a total of 22 that's
much higher than four okay it's looking pretty bad that was on its turn too all right uh tennis or you're
up that was all i could do and it's re-grabbed so its turn amounted to nothing gabe stacking slows
cool frost weapon pretty useful yippee now i see a situation unfolding
i'm trusting that vali can bully this guy to death right now well vali can't because vali's
not here anymore right but veena can't yes i'm sorry i'm sorry okay um respect my character
i am i am instead going to try usually i would do my cool shocking grass thing i promise i promise
people watching at home i will still but today it's time for something else
being to cast flowing strike which i should just post here yeah so essentially uh i'm going to uh
blink out of the time stream i'm going to move 50 feet i think uh this is a fair place to move to
okay for people at home 10 uh 10 hours you want to read what flowing strike does
yes a wave of flowing water a temporal energy rushes behind me like an elegant river clock
pushing you across the battlefield with fluid grace i stride up to 50
you cut out uh uh he's internet i may make a strike at any point during my stride
i i i stride up to 50 feet this movement doesn't trigger any reactions i can make a strike at any
point during my stride if the strike hits the wave flows after you to batter the target of your strike
as well dealing 2d 10 bludgeoning damage and pushing it 10 feet in the direction of my choice
oh yeah um i'm gonna target this poor guy just broke out of jail and i think oh no
oh no i think it's more important that we deal with this um so i'm going to go ahead and hit him with
you gotta uh uh yeah i don't think his internet's going in and out so just just bear with him
solly you can't spell strike it's it's a regular strike here yeah yeah yeah i'll miss i will hero
point it you know quest your boy that hits that'll hit that'll hit awesome cool so i'm gonna do
baby damage i'm sure 10 damage max damage that's actually i'm gonna do 2d 10 damage okay
all right that's 15 extra damage and then i'd like to push it right back into this horrible pool
oh good move good move excellent excellent very nice very good now with my last move action wait
yeah because i guess oh you're hasted you're hasted yeah you're hasted yeah thank you
actually i could continue the fun i could hit him is that worth it what do you get i don't know what
the i don't know what the hell's looking like i'm this guy speaker yeah he's probably gonna be slowed
yeah i'm not either so you know what i'm gonna be a little safe i'm gonna go over here i can always
spring into action and do funny things uh when i need to so i'll be here all right cool
that's that is the turn rahua you're up okay well tan hauser i was going to do something super
tactical and get you a bit more juice but you moved like 10 feet out of my range so i'm gonna
have to spend two actions for you now oh i'm so fucking sorry i probably should have mentioned
that before you moved i i was trying to spread out aoe's so i i i'm at minimized risk of getting
tubes dude no that's not your fault that's not your fault that's all that's mine okay uh
tan hauser how confident do you feel in surviving another hit from these creatures um i'm uh immortal
and i can never die okay that's good to know i don't feel bad about this though
so i am going to attempt to assist you in a different way
let's find out how fortuitous these creatures are
rahua's gonna stretch out one of his hands and he is going to try and rattle the many many teethies that
are inside them specifically this one right here and i'm going to cast bone shaker
also like you shake their teeth yeah bone shakes see how he likes the rattling
that's not good okay i will click the button yeah it's the one to his right i believe yeah
it's almost a 20 instead it's a failure
i'm full i'm enfeebled and then you may roll dimaggio john dimaggio
which which action version were you doing the three or the two
the three is very funny it's very funny honestly if you want to do big damage you can do that i've got
an idea oh no the three the three is not about big damage no it's about yeah putting putting more
people into the gravity well that does damage to you every turn is always a wise idea yeah do it
yes so let me give you the damage it should be let me make sure it's heightened
your bones well i'll take another 3d8 yeah
oh good roll me another 3d8 right uh yes because you heightened
rule eight
less impressive yes and then i assume you're gonna like want to move me like this
yes yes i would love to move you back yeah yeah yeah i i don't like this at all especially with
the enfeeble fucking lowering my save while i'm in the pit of despair oh i love it hey welcome to
the event horizon bubba yeah i was just supposed to say this is see i go away for a fucking month here
chat they've all been like having secret combat conferences on how to play there was a montage that
happened and they learned how to play this game while i've been away
you've trained us well we all we have like a general shang moment we have we'll make a man out
of you oh yeah exactly i'm gonna i'm gonna gloved hand gorkamunker give me a second
maybe the fairy is still alive no i'm gonna i'm gonna jaw him first we can't have another arc where
i have to go revive my dragon again don't slap the baby whoa that was good damage pretty high so the
that hits then i'm gonna do the glove hand as an off strike no that's gonna miss that's the same ac
you also have me targeted at the same time oh sorry sorry sorry it's the same acs who works out
yeah and i'm gonna like
i'm gonna walk to there
project up baldrick here go i'm thinking
i'm gonna as this menacing entity like shimmies closer to you i'm gonna move away from it for one
yeah that's fair very fair yeah we do have a bunch of the trigger what's the trigger range
for this thing's automatic tooth suction again uh you're gonna have to make a save for it yeah
no i mean like what's the range for it it's fairly expansive so this is just no i need to ask because
i'm asking so i can move myself thirsty oh oh yeah okay thank you stay stay outside of 10 feet of it
thank you okay thank you so outside of 10 feet yeah so would you say this is outside of 10 feet of
that one and that one so i'm gonna move there i'm gonna make my check anyway but you know yeah that is
correct right yes that's 15 that's 15 nice all right i'll make your damn check my check
uh fortitude you said yeah there we go technically i forgot to do it first ah 23
okay uh so on a failure you're just off guard that's all it is so okay that's fine
uh so that was one move uh he's he's tempering his frustration a little bit because he's realizing
people are in dire straits baldrick will uh very briefly put away his exploding hand and he will
take out the other hand how far away can i throw again i know i know i take penalties to like two
hit on like higher increments but like say it's like what 30 right i believe it's 20 feet 20 feet
but you might if you have like feats or something that increase it like far lobber so if i wanted to
throw it at i think i do have far lover you do yeah see yeah you you're 30 so every range increment of 30
it's it's plus it's minus two to the difficulty all right so i'm just going to take a minus two shot
on this one uh he's going to pull out a small square vial with a weird little crystal floating in it
with green liquid okay and he is going to whirl it around and throw a vindicator's mist which is a
funny little projectile that i'm throwing directly at tanhauser okay please hit my big dumb head
31 hit that's a head okay so here's the fun fact this is a healing weapon
uh let's see so i roll the damage and then you'll heal him for that
uh well let's let's read what it does yeah
uh one sec so strictly speaking it releases a healing mist upon breaking up on a target
the struck target heals damage instead of taking damage while the splash effect also
heals targets in the area so he's going to take the damage plus the splash as healing rather than
damage yay so let's see if this is actually worth a damn or if this is just a funny little thing
go uh that's 24 hit points hey that's pretty nice plus the splash of four so that'll be 28
yep nice i'd buy that for a dollar yeah so could you add 28 to his hit point please you're being
healed do not resist yeah there you go and i'll give you the extra boop boop okay there you go and
because it's a relevant choice i'm going to also throw one at rohua sure i'm taking a multi-attack
on this one which is hilarious sure is multi-attack penalty to heal yes hey are you okay out there
glass shatters on his face damn it critical miss yeah so um with that you'll just do the the
actually no not even splash because it's critical miss it was a dude it was a dude too much water
good dude dude you want to get eaten by zombies 10 out i believe vault hauser all i've got
no move throw move move throw throw yeah that'd be it that's it the one
all right go for it all right i tried guys the dice ain't letting me you better make use of these
guys hey you did a good you get a good heal that actually helped a lot because i that would save me
some actions uh absolutely i i assure you we're not laughing at you we're laughing at the concept of
bald hauser i was i thought i heard ball house i i heard bald like all his hair falls out and he's
like no i want fan i want fan art of bald hauser it's a spider-man like the vision of mary jay
on your head um crushing the remains of the actual fairy in your head or take 18 points of damage
uh then for my next action he is going to pull out his white glove oh that's a crit uh actually it
might not be that should be five lower so actually it's still gonna create yes uh oh no no it won't
so that's actually gonna be a regular hit i forgot to hit the map button that's just gonna be regular
damage
but it's gonna be 21 and then he's then he's gonna grab you with his last action no
living the fuck alone holding you with his glove uh vena you're up
um yeah well let's see there is a nice little line of them right here
sure um so i'm going to the damage isn't that great but i'm still gonna line up a shot with the
dagger pistol okay um how long is the martinet's pistols yes the luminous dagger pistol yeah i have to
make a basic reflex save or take five d6 so do you want me to make saves for all of them
yes i i think uh let me double check the range on it for the uh beam it's 30 okay so yeah it's gonna
hit all of them yeah beam beam uh middle one passes front one fails and the back one
passes so roll damage and the front one will take full and the others will take halfsies
sads um okay so it's going to be 5d6 5d6 yes yes yes i forget because this one we have to do
manually yeah imagine what a nightmare i know what a nightmare 19 um so 19 yes there
half there half there and this one this one's just having the worst fucking day he's having a bad
day today he says like a lot a lot of bad things you have one action left okay i have one action left
um i'm going to the guy in front of me looks pretty bad uh very bad yes take him out yeah um
i would like panache but i don't have the actions for that uh so yeah i'm just gonna hit him with my
my sword yeah no multiple attack penalty so you're good ah i still whiff oh yeah you do whiff oh
unfortunate uh well we'll take that um and that's my turn all right
well then that's gonna bring us to uh the enfeebled guy who got pushed back into
la la land who now has to make a save what is it for the temporal thing is it fortitude or will
uh it was to make it easier question i think it is just cast the spell again like give it back to
you and then cast it and what you can do you can right click that thing in the uh chat and then pop
out the message so you'll always have it yeah what i think it actually does oh yeah yeah yeah
as well yeah he's gonna pass which is okay so he's unaffected here um and then i am going to
is you got something for the black tentacles or yeah i think no oh it ends the movement in there
that's yeah yeah so fast to save moves to there targets for who attacks for who uh
uh hits for who uh bites for who uh does 20 damage to rahua no key last action takes a glove
and tries to glove rahua and this is actually lower i should have hit the map button but i forgot again
all right oran you're up all right he is currently immobile so he can't do anything else so he has to
try to athletics himself out of here uh so he is going to try and escape escape i'll see if i can
do this right uh so he's gonna try to do an athletics check he's going to escape 19 on the die for total
31. yeah it's gonna get you out yeah so that gets me the heck out of there i just i believe i have to
make you two fortitude saves because i'm near both of them right just one just one just one okay yeah
thank you a fortitude save like no my teeth are all 33 i should be safe you're good yep all right
so there's one action to escape uh what oran is going to do he needs to get out of dodge like he
can't he can't keep staying in this so uh what he is going to do is because he is a strix that means
i've been taking feats like fledgling flight and juvenile flight and stuff so i'm going to activate
uh i can do this once per day of juvenile flight pretty much what it does like you unfold your
wings for travel and can keep them unfolded for 10 minutes you gain a fly speed equal to your land
speed while your things wings are unfurled if you have fledgling flight which i do have that feat i get
a plus 10 foot status bonus to my flying speed with juvenile flight that's normal since your fly
speed is derived from your land speed but as i've seen as you have one whatever so basically my my land
speed is 30 now it's 40 and now i can fly so i'm going to put this buff on me just to kind of indicate
it i am going to get out of dodge with two of my actions uh basically i'm going to go all the way
across uh this pretty much pit here and i'm going to go off to the corner of the effect now real question
for tan hauser uh did he sustain this thing what it's non-sustained it's um it just stays the time
it stays for a minute yeah okay so basically dismiss it but it's not so we still have several
turns until this thing goes away oh yeah uh i have oren's going to spend two of his actions one action
to escape two actions to fly all the way to the other side unfortunately there's no healing for people
but he needs to get out of there uh so he just he flies over uh let me see what do you have flushing
flying speed or fly speed so i have fly um i have fly so i don't need to go on land really because i
don't need to land anymore so i'm going to elect so it's kind of hard for like distance up because i
want to be up in the air where they can't get me i basically want to be 15 feet in the air uh i'll be
15 feet in the air just to kind of make things simple sorry i just thought this through my bad
uh i will take i'll go back here i'll basically go 15 feet up in the middle here
so just out of range of them a majority of the melee stuff in their reach yeah i'm basically just
flapping up above the aoe area uh so i'm staying up there and that's uh two actions and for my final
action uh i'll see if i can do anything for it i will cast i have a thing i have a thing i thought
i had a thing i do not have a thing i do apologize i'm lying to all of you um i'll just out just to
even it out i'll say just from the distance of going up and over and cross i'll say that's two actions
to fly up to that 15 feet just to keep that fair uh that'll be oran gorgomonger will fly directly up
you'll fly directly up 20 feet i don't i uh how tall is the ceiling there seems that enough for 20
feet to be comfy oh yeah yeah okay uh i will have him spend all his movement then they go 25 then just
straight up just so he stops getting melee because he's pretty low uh that is the end of my turn sorry
about that or he goes like later later gators whoosh and like just flies up into the air but he
goes above the magic going like it's like well if they want to eat me they're gonna have to get
through your goo stuff my all my goo my it's like a good party down there i'm making my will save for
this guy in the goo uh let's see it's gonna pass that so we'll be good um i'm just i'm i'm done
i'm done i'm walking over here i'm biting you tan hazard you will try because you went through
threatens do you have a tech of opportunity tanhouser
because you went through multiple threatened spaces i do yeah you want to take an a on him
yeah i would love to take an a up on him and it has to be a normal attack right yeah yeah okay
there we get if strike uh uh 22 does that hit that does not hit okay oh well but he will hit you
and he will bite you for a grand total of uh 24 damage and then he will try to give you the magic
pain glove that i don't think will actually hit uh no it would just hit um because he would have
the map i just forgot to hit the map button again because i'm a fool okay uh and that's a little less
damage though but i'll roll way better so instead i'll do 28. so it like comes up bites you in in the
side and then like this gloved hand starts like crushing your neck it's not grabbing you but it's
like clearly trying to just like bring you closer to its maw uh that's gonna be that one um the one
down by you vena is going to go it's dazzled it's gotta make a will save because it's in the area of
effect uh it's gonna pass which okay hooray um oh now you choose to pass your saves yeah but then
it's gotta break the grapple with its first action so let's see if it can do that it can with a 28.
um let me actually let me double check that what's your spell these yes it can uh so it'll break the
grapple with its first action um then it's going to let's see what does it do next it moves out of
there targets you vena has to it's going to attack you but this might well it'll miss anyways um but
it would have had to make the dazzle check too so that's its go um tanhauser you're all right first
thing i'm gonna do is i'm gonna act i think this is not an action but i'm gonna activate my nanite
surge uh or rather i'm going to activate my nanite shroud okay okay so i am now concealed
uh um isn't that nice okay great that's lovely that means he has to roll dc5 check every time okay okay
actually nanite shroud fyi is an action oh my god it's two actions yeah i don't care that much i
don't care that much i thought it was a action it looked really spicy to me no other things look
spicier okay well this man has earned my hire by daring daring get out of the good and uh we just don't
accept now my silence uh so i am going to go ahead oh my god this is terrible i'm just gonna do
shit all right i'm gonna levy a spell strike on this motherfucker do it up um yeah yeah he
fucks mothers oh yeah all right too uh best oh actually i can't arcane cascade this turn that's so sad
oh well yeah spell strike um so i'm going to make
poor guy yeah this poor internet oh i feel bad hey you hit forgive me i would have used a true
strike beforehand even though i uh that was my intent uh i'm just gonna go and get and cast it
and roll again if that's okay okay cool just roll a second attack just in case it's better yeah no it
doesn't know oh well first one hits cool okay and i'm i'm so sorry i'm rusty i'm going to be
spending my fourth level on this for shining yeah yeah the summer is what he's doing if you got all
the break up he cast true strike first with one action so you double rolled for a spell strike for
the hit initially with this weapon and now he did shocking grass at fourth level to do it so he's doing
that much damage to do it and he just did five damage with his weapon and now he's gonna soon
roll uh his spell strike damage or his uh shocking grass damage yeah all right let's rock shocking grass
god that's a lot of d12s
there you go takes it
and uh and with my my final action i'm gonna use our kink cascade wait i can't because my haste only
lets me strike remove i'm not moving i'm just gonna strike him again okay oh that's a crit
yeah wait wait wait did he do multi-attack penalty with that i didn't i didn't it's still a oh
rip uh wait no it's not it's just shy just shy of the prize actually because minus well actually is your
weapon agile minus 4 33 no it's one shy of the prize yeah it's that so just regular damage damn it
roll regular dimaggio for me
oh uh so that'd be what
yeah his internet just clicked getting him yeah i'm just gonna do this there we go hooray we did it yay
okay boop yeah he got it yeah i'm being i'm being exiled behind beyond time and space i'm so sorry
go back to the shadow dimension rahua it's your go
i'm torn up here but you've based on how we have four encapsulating three party members
i wanted to juice somebody else with some more healing
okay i think tanhauser's a good choice
yeah now i'm flying up here i'm gonna start peeling so you getting tanhauser helps
then i can certainly do that if you'll be okay up there yeah i'll i'll get tanhauser because i think the
guy that beat him up did his thing so uh you you have choice here because the other guys are about
to go
for who will reach his hand out towards the anarchic beacon that is now has nobody within its radius
uh as if to relay it to shoot a beam of anarchic energy towards tanhauser and going to use one of my
cleric font heels oh are you in range yeah he's 40 feet away so you have to do the uh read spell thing
to get him yeah it has to be all yeah you do the thrashing one and then do uh the one actually reach
bell here yeah yeah here you go tanhauser you better make it good i will i promise you
yeah you can go ahead and target him and i'll do all that stuff towards him yep there you go hell
yeah 51 points of healing to you i love being alive and not dead it's so great all right that'll be my
turn then
i love it that fires the little beams yeah i like the spell effects that's great
you can also see that visually podcast listeners at youtube or twitch
or just imagine rahua firing beams at tanhauser what are you doing mr thurston for podcast listeners
fairies well yeah you were talking so i was just gonna do the math i'm trying to speed it along
um the tooth fairy advances as for who is like healing energy the tooth fairy comes up tries to snap a
jaw at adam rahua manages to go to the way and then the glove comes and begins crushing into the
wood doing 19 points of damage uh that's that tooth fairy's go baldrick you're up all right let me do my
uh let me do my roll again because i'm within rate the effect doesn't stack right i don't have to do
no three times no no just once okay i'm just gonna be like oh you're on that 20 you're fine okay uh
seeing as how this is getting worse no i can i can afford to take these rolls i'm okay with that
i don't mind it i'm gonna target rahua and i'm gonna throw another vindicators mist at him okay
and hopefully hit him this time please don't dodge this time hulky please
yeah no i don't think i'll take the healing no you're gonna so close to that one too so so close
all right let me roll the damage the damage healing
uh that is 20 healing yeah okay plus four so 24 plus four yeah
now i can shape charge that so don't heal those guys at all don't do that yes okay what i'm going to
do now
first and which of these guys looks the most wounded uh definitely the one by vena that is
like on death's door followed by the one tanhauser is just lit up and then probably this one in front
of you the two to the north here this one and this one are basically untouched okay
i think what i'm going to do is i'm going to throw an acid flask at this guy right here directly ahead
of me because i want to i want to make sure that he is wounded so i'm going to draw and throw acid flask
this one here uh though sorry i'm targeting no this fell up here okay okay cool this one gotcha yeah
and i'm gonna hope that this does good map minus five humorous as it is go
uh 27 that'll hit okay let me roll the damage
fancy
oh okay so that'll be a that'll be nine damage to it directly as well as four to this one and four to
that one yep uh and now it shall take 2d6 persistent acid yeah i've got the acid on there that's pretty
good good good yeah and for my final move
i'm gonna throw a bottled lightning at him i'll take the big minus i'll take the big penalty but
i want to see if this will do something good okay i'm going to draw the bottled lightning and throw it
i don't know why it doesn't automatically unequip that thing that i have to keep
sheathing it to do that but it's fine yeah it does have the actions of like action to draw kind of
deal all right here we go please hit no 16 will miss but it will still do uh four lightning splash to
all three of them yeah nice so if you click click damage just so i can apply that yeah i'll go
that would have been unimpressive
okay all right cool that's uh yeah i was about to end it yeah and then i've got this big boy over
here who is gonna walk over to gorgamonger oh but gorgamonger's flying never mind yeah yeah
he's gonna just i'm just gonna go up to rahula then i'm gonna try to fight you i'm gonna hit you
please stop no how about i don't you're you're also targeting uh oh yeah well okay
still hit no target was rahula it does the both things so yeah i'll do 23 points then i'm gonna try
to glove you with my last action good thing i healed it uh that misses anyways because i forgot the map so
whoops all right um vena you're up jesus let's go vena let's go my good friend is in a bit of
trouble over there and a little little bit of a pickle i feel bad
over there i feel bad just kind of plinking off the the hurt one uh i think that just means we need to
speed up our destruction of these two big boys uh and then then we can turn and help like rahula right
because i think we're who is going to be okay we have orin able to heal him yeah um yeah we just need
to we need to focus on finishing our job we don't want to leave it half finished i i think what's
happened is is the the like the the three people healing here has meant the dps output has been varied
so yeah yeah and uh if somebody has a spare haste for me at any point uh i i would appreciate
hey what are you doing vena yep i'm gonna tumble through uh this guy yeah um hitting you with an
acrobatics acrobatics it's a 24 versus what my fortitude dca it would be versus fortitude uh
yeah dc fortitude dc i believe yeah i thought it was reflex uh is it i might make it easier for
you in the future um you have the tumble through action thing on your sheet uh oh i suppose you
can target them oh it is reflex yeah it is reflex i'm crazy sorry yeah i'll give you all the math
automatically so yeah also uh that will succeed though so you're good okay excellent uh yes yes okay um so
that gives me panache uh and i'm gonna hit this guy with a finisher do it up finish him finish him
and even if i whiff there's a chance that's finisher damages finishes them off
boy i spoke it into being uh do i have a hero point no i don't so that would just be the finisher
damage uh and my finisher damage at this level is oh my god what is it again
i think it's like hold on you were confident right yeah confident finisher
confident finisher action how many things do i need to click uh okay so yeah
uh you deal uh you deal half the precise strike damage to the targets okay uh one additional dice
at five ninth and thirteen so it would be so here just click damage just click damage and then we'll
we'll see what it gets so gotcha yeah it would be 26 it would be 26
oh yeah we can just yeah half it yeah well we can half because it'll show me the total so
the 46 half would be eight which
is
just enough oh my god
as it falls down dazzled and off guarded and that was your second action so that'll
i whiffed so hard that he died you whiffed so hard and it's not too late you gave hits a bad name
and then i'm going to
i'm gonna hit this guy uh right here yeah uh with a tumble through
ooh okay yeah and get my panache for next turn heck yeah uh and i'll actually use the action this
time yes and target him and then yeah he'll be good yep uh yeah so you see the acrobatics thing in
the chat there or when you do the drop down yeah click that and i'll do it all for you if you have
the other guy turn excellent there you go you're good success uh so he will be off guard
that's correct he will have panache
and that's my turn oh all right orange like that's so cool vena that's so cool well this guy who you
like juggled around he turns to you vena well hey hold on there hey
wait wait wait wait the jaws they descend hold on don't you want to bully rahua some more
this is then he tries to like grab you with a glove oh god oh that's gonna hit
uh oh god if you nimble dodge no my nimble dodge yeah yeah but here we go here we go but it's greedy so
it's gonna do 22 points of damage to you vena it's not gonna grab you it's not gonna grab me it's
not it's gonna go with a third attack on you and try to just do more fucking damage to you
and miss uh actually critically misses that's critically miss okay i do actually get to hit
him back yay uh but not with finisher damage uh uh damage man you hit so you hit well and an eight
on a roll jesus yeah and their ac is really low uh 17 damage yeah uh you you you smack him up he takes 17
dimaggio and is uh so it's pretty hurt pretty hurt pretty hurt um and it's it's it's actually like
their their ac for the record is 24 which um oh is is moderate uh ac for a creature of their level
it's just you're fighting a lot of creatures um so so they're you know not as like uber numbers powered
as we maybe are used to in this campaign uh oran yeah all right oran's going to three uh not three
action two action heal uh uh absolutely yellow dingo fourth level and basically wow
he will roll all that that's gonna be a total of 41 healing heck yeah thank you yummy healing there you go
got it for you oh no you healed double oh wait wait you got it wait i'll just rescind mine there we
go there you go y'all got it all right we're almost good man god i wish i had like another single action
thing i can just command gorgamonger i guess um at this point because i don't have much of a single
actions to do unless i want to do something funny i'm gonna look at the one that tanhouser
is fighting yeah and i'm gonna heal it
i'm gonna i'm gonna look at it and the most pathetic way going like you might have crushed my
new friend you know his body and i'm gonna crush you and he he tries to emphasize it in like a magical
with some lightning in the back and he'll try to demoralize uh the creature with his final action
demoralizing him through tears uh does it gonna make you cry ass does it know my language at all
uh i know common strikes and wild song yeah i know yeah it's good oh it does okay so it understands me
so i don't get the debuff on it i got a 15. i failed yeah it is right here so it shakes its head
at you yeah gorgamonger will fly uh near me that's right yeah yeah he'll fly near me okay all the way
over here so that's the end of his turn all right well um tanhouser's best friend gets to go oh lovely
so i'm gonna start with uh with the jaws attack here as it goes to bite you it's gonna miss with a
nat one does that mean i get to hit it back no because no um only only vena gets that cool only
vena is that cool i understand but i'm gonna give you the glove oh i'm gonna hit you with the glove
oh no i'm gonna do 12 points of damage but that's important because it's gonna grab you
quit grabbing him like that that's right that's right i'm just glad these are tooth fairies and not
nut fairies what you gave him a glove i'd be upset okay i'm currently graved your grip and grab
i've been grabbed by a ghoulie no less yep i'm not by the ghoulies thank my balls thankfully not
let's not my balls well while i'm grabbed i am fortunately uh uniquely able to not care about
being grabbed what do i have to make a opposed uh athletics if you want to it's one action to break
a grab it could be athletics or uh acrobatics to get out alternatively you can just act it's just um
any of your manipulator so if you tried to spell strike it there's basically you have to make a
um make a check a flat check uh so you need like a five or higher or the or the effect is lost
okay uh what's my dc for uh say if i were to do an acrobatics uh it's going to be based on its um
like athletic score so do i know the number you do not okay what action thing you're trying to do
like he's trying to escape is okay yeah do do left control space and type escape but
that in your actions target him and then use that thing they do all that for you okay well i can
just i i have acrobatics and acrobatics is not the traditional escape skill if i'm not mistaken
oh no you can do it yeah yeah yeah so i'll just i'll just go ahead and do acrobatics if i fail i have
another method okay so acrobatics you can use an unarmed attack acrobatics orthotics 26 a lack and
last short of the prize all right in that case i'm going to uh dimensional assault yeah i'm gonna
move half my speed okay now because you're casting a focus spell you have to roll me a d20 and on a one
or a four the spell fizzles okay you're good okay so you tell all right cool where do i want to teleport
to uh 50 feet up that would be pretty funny well this is this is not boulders k3 you don't drop
enemies i could propose if thurston will allow it gorgomonger is flying in the air above the thing
right now 15 feet oh yeah just laying on him uh i will uh uh therefore go ahead and make the free
strike i get with that because any damage is good damage i missed yeah um then i am going to
with the remaining bullshit uh i think big damage is out of the cards for me this turn because of that
that nasty grab i shouldn't have even tried to play normally um so instead i'm going to use this
opportunity well i don't know yeah yeah you know what i'm gonna arcane cascade uh on myself
and i'm going to choose i don't know that sure yeah oh god stop okay great and now i'm going to make
just another attack with a map sure go there you go gonna hit hey there you go hey
for 10 damage
target takes 41 damage it should that that ignore that that's just the it's like 41 damage yes nice
so i teleport to the side i activate my uh quantum entangling engine and then
stab through the heart great that's my goal is down cool all right all right um
you're up yeah so given the situation that's around me my only options are to cast one of the
remaining damage spells i have or just try and hit him with my brick on a stick what's what's your
damage spell what you got the only thing i have left at this time would be crisis of faith
and i don't know what these creatures believe in teeth that's true you know what
fuck it you you convinced me thurston i was not it was not very hard to pass that but you've
convinced me which one are you giving a crisis of teeth i'm attacking the one tuber who is immediate
south yeah this one okay cool all right and i will oh i can't i can't hype it wait yes i can
because i'm not using one of the other spell slots for that
so i will cast christ to increase it by 2d6 is it a divine spell caster
it is not okay that's fine it's i would just get one more on the die okay put your hand
need a dc25 will save okay i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it here it comes it's coming
oh shit there it is it succeeds so i have to
fuck roll damage please it's worthless
i love i'm glad we have fine boom in our fucking yeah wonderful there's an additional
you have one action left one action left i'm gonna hit him with my brick on a stick which is
growing oh yeah it's a brick on a stick just yeah here we go
and it's a crit there you go it's some crit
off guard yeah he's the john dimaggio here the critical dimaggio i will give him the big attack
believe it or not rahua just created for 45 damage
see rahua you have a pick and this is where the pick becomes amazing the toothpick
uh this one's not looking good that's for sure knocks a couple teeth loose
yeah this one's not looking good at all so
all right it's time for retaliation yeah it is it's it looks at you rahua
uh well actually the one to the side looks at you and it's like i don't like this rahua guy
uh and then takes a bite at you oh i missed i'm gonna do a glove on you
oh i'm gonna create you with a roll of dice oh shoot sorry sorry i don't know why i'm getting so
many crits here i'll reveal it to everyone look everyone look oh there's the dice roll look at that
crate right there now that's a clean burning cream that's a clean oh god oh that's not good
and with its last action it's uh it's gonna grab you our precious boy the tree is grabbed i repeat
the tree is grabbed uh baldrick here let him know and then it takes four points of acid damage from
flame um um and is still yeah okay all right i'm going to fortitude go
oh
your teeth begin to the bleed um as your teeth begin flying out you are off guard and you will take um
let's look here i have to you will take some persistent bleeding damage and your teeth are ripped
out damn it okay what are those days coming out of your eye slot he's now extremely angry uh bear i am
going to obliterate the one i'm going i'm gonna say it's this guy that they're coming from this guy here
i'm going this one i know this one that i'm targeting oh okay yeah yeah this one here yeah
i'm going i'm going to try and blow him up okay okay you would see this though just so you are aware
the one to the south is heavily damaged compared to though yes but i'm angry okay and i'm i'm declaring
it's this guy so i can have an excuse to throw three alchemist fire at the same guy that is fair you
may go ahead and bomb 30 30 30 that'll hit yeah oh yeah explosion one for 16 damage
okay so takes that takes that takes that takes that okay next one uh i'm going to throw another one okay
that will hit for a 28 so that'll hit yeah let me do the damage again uh that is 18 damage
and then four more
uh then four more two well sorry four two you're like a held over that impact grenade just
i'm very angry uh third third attack you know it billy yeah i believe in you here's the 20 easy
oh no so that'll um that'll just yeah go go wild hey you got two solid hits yeah for each one you
did like 14 18 like 20 something damage 22 damage for like uh yeah
all right so you will take because he's moving towards you because you've been damaging him cringe
uh and you will take the five and then this uh this this one walks away from rahua towards you baldrick
and attempts to bite you uh the one with acid tech the acid stuff take his acid damage yeah i already i
already got that acid yeah we're good um and i will do oh the worst uh minimum damage to baldrick
and then with its last action it will miss with a gloved hand as it tries to do all these things reena
you're up okay doakley doakley um i'm going to spend my first action just uh attacking this man
before me okay this this tooth friend yep
do it up do it up
i got him you got stem goods you did got him damage go why didn't it do my finisher damage
uh well you don't have to worry about it because it kills that's why i didn't throw a single thing at
that guy oh uh then never mind i i don't i don't i don't finisher him and then i assume your second action
will be a tumble followed by another finish
wow thurston it's it's like you know me it's it's like you know who i am
and what uh and what i do i'm gonna tumble through this guy okay and i need to just put
the tumble through action on my little hot bar yeah it's okay for now you can just roll it i i've got the number now so
that's still good yeah it's still good so where do you want to go one right there cool uh then you
panache up yep and i'm going to finish him finish him with a map
finish him cut his bones off cut his balls i said bones
fina slap his nuts damn it i got it no i don't uh so just finish your damage uh
huh okay so yeah just finish her damage which uh is just 2d6
actually sorry it's 4d6 half it's the way to do it so oh yes
six good all right as you you finish the one and go go tumbling through into the other there's
a brief moment where the other two begin to seize up and as one all five of the corpses
collapse into piles of black sludge the rot seeping into the ground here and as that happens
there is a stillness that overcomes the area and finally you're able to catch your breaths in this
this grove everyone's sort of coming over there there are various ailments don't worry about the
persistent damage baldrick but as you all sort of catch catch your breath and the threats like
dissipate and mulch away you realize that the the area you're in is just a room
a large sort of arboretum style room um that connects back to the hall where you came in where
you met the little robotic friends uh the servitor there but to the northeast is a section of stonework
that collapses into another building um and it seems to lead towards something in the distance a far
larger uh structure um that only one of you recognizes and that would be tanhauser and past the
debris to the northeast of this chamber tanhauser you see something that should not be able to exist
down here and definitely shouldn't be this far under the city of outset you see
a cathedral of the black papacy of golgotha looming ominously large
