left off was um the the first parrot and dropped a um particularly nasty aoe yes that has one
that was
that was the last one
that was the last one
that was the last one
that was the last one
that was the last one
have left this one this one no i mean which is okay because we are full of circles oh yeah yeah
a reminder uh yes that's right that's right that's right that's right um the uh the current
the current wave of circles uh involves um let's see what do we what do we got here we got tangling
creepers that's the that's the big that's the big the big one that's that's on the ground
uh we got frozen fog yep that's kind of kind of the the smaller one inside
uh then we have the cuck box that hulky is yeah that's the official yeah the cuck box is the
official paizo spell name what's your position life with cage is boring it's it's the cuck box
hulky is the one who named it last time i am this is not my bit it's hulky's first
one
no i would never do something like that uh-huh i mean i would never do that i don't believe him
but he said it so it must be yeah yeah hulky has never lied yeah that's so true yeah associate
publisher thurston hillman would never lie while playing i would never rename pathfinder second
edition level or sorry seventh rank spell lifewood cage and call it the cuck cage that that would that
would be so inappropriate that would just be true
move an aisle and we would never do something like do you think logan made the cuck change or cuck
i'm not researching this i'm not i'm not i'll call him no no i'm good i'm good i'll call him
right now i'm going i'm going to the
oh oh look this parent still had bombs on him from from baldrick look at this i'll turn on the i'll
turn on the boss i'll turn on the boss i'll turn on the boss i'll turn on the boss i'll turn on the boss
okay since we're there now
no look at that it's taken taken 19 acid damage
hey why did why did peyton call me and and ask about why we made the cuck spell
just so you know it uh it succeeded on getting rid of the actual high damage
over time but failed to get rid of the one that does nothing well good luck a little bit good
luck every little bit helps yeah this stacks up this the second parrot is going
there's a vena real close by yeah yeah yeah
there's a vina because i'll be no spy there's a vina hey um hey yeah but there's also wooshauser
over there hey moose hauser he's really scary
okay uh it's really scary i'm just blue
get to it it's
um the parrot in front of you uh vina is going to fly up um now it's good that it's it's only
gonna like fly up a little bit it's only gonna fly up five feet okay so no it's not provoking
yeah um but it's gonna do this as part of a ability it has called mimic shadow if i could
get you please to make the will save i've just uh just put oh that's a that's a pretty good idea
idc i believe in you yeah look at that you still fail i still fail
so it flies up casting a a brief shadow um over you um so that's going to um
it's going to give it a plus two status bonus to attacks and damage rolls against you
well don't do that because uh because as it flies up you notice that its shadow
is changing to match your shadow it's incredibly unnerving oh
and as you say oh it goes at you with its um its impressive rack i mean it's antlers
the only one allowed to answer the question is the guy who doesn't know how to deal with a
rabbit the one who's always in the back row the one who's
to have an impressive rack here is...
Ah!
Ah!
It's for Hua.
Odo, I don't think the art
depicts that. I think you're making things up.
No, it's... Yeah.
It's fake news.
The scream ads do it.
But the fan artists know.
The fan artists know.
Yeah, fan artists!
The fan artists know all about it.
It was big, beautiful bows.
Hey, now that you've been hit
by this thing
after it's cast its shadow
and now that it's hit you, you have to give me
another will save, please.
Not another one.
Oh!
Oh, fuck.
That die almost tipped over to the nat 20.
It was like...
It just went down to the two.
Two.
I die.
So, you're going to be frightened one, Vina.
Oh, I'm collecting
debuffs.
I'm collecting them like Pokemon cards.
It'll be worth something someday.
Yeah, they might be, of course.
You're frightened.
And then it's going to...
You know what?
That was its second action
because it moves as part of its weird shadow thing.
Its third action.
It's going to hit you again.
This time, it's going to hit you with its fangs.
Oh, wow.
Not bite you with the fangs.
Hit you with it.
Don't hit you.
It's bashing you in the face with them.
If I could have it do bludgeoning damage, I would.
Well, that's pretty good damage.
Oh, ow.
Jesus!
37 more points of damage to you, Vina.
Do you have a reaction, like, flashy dodge or something?
I do have flashy dodge, but...
Or, well...
Oh, I have it on.
I have it on and it still hits.
I kind of just have it on by default.
Okay.
But here's a fun thing.
It hit you again.
I gotta do it again?
Give me another will save, Vina.
Another one.
Another one.
Another one.
Oh.
Well.
I love the, like...
Again.
Now you're frightened, too.
Too.
I'm giving you debuffs like Pokemon.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
I'm now hurting now
My back hurts
Oh
Alright
Alright
Oh my god
It's back again
Run
Run
Run
Everybody pray
Okay
What I am going to do
No
I need to see
I have to double check the doctor's visitation here
It has flourished so I have to plan my moves
Accordingly to battlefield medicine people
To see if I can maximize
My stuff
You can spend two actions
Of doctor visitation to assist stride
And then use either first aid or trick addition
If you have that feat
Okay
That's either or
I move up and I do it
Okay
So there's just one action to do
Tree raiser
I'm ready to tree raiser
I show you now
Is it intangible
Stop stalling
I'm trying to find the right time
To do his thing
It's good
Just love and have fun
So Orin is going to do doctor's visitation
Over to Tannhauser
He's going to basically
Just come on down
To the ground
Okay
So he's going to be on the ground now
In danger zone
I do apologize
We're going to go
Yes here
This diagonal
Get to Mr. Tannhauser
And go like
Be healed
And so that just takes one action to do
With doctor's visitation
He is going to be like
He's like
Mr. Ooshauser
Disco did not
Whatever the hell you tried to do there
A small bubbling of ooze from a distance
Orin like takes a bite out of your ooze
Switches it in his mouth a little bit
And spits it back at you
But it's glowing green
And begins to make you potentially heal better
But because of the bite
You have to take some damage first
With risky surgery
So that'll go through
Does a nice little crown on you
You get healed for 49
I got two click things
There don't worry
And then I can't do doctor's visitation again
But I do have two actions left
And I'm going to stay where I'm currently at
Go to look at Veena
And I actually have to make a debate here
Actually I'm going to try to do something
Different here
I'm going to do one action
To move to the left of Veena
And I'm going to do my last action
To do
Lay on hands
And
That can help you out
At least with your AC
Because with lay on hands
As Orin brushes up
Miss Veena
And then
He doesn't take a bite out of you
But as he flaps his wings
You will now have the effect
Of lay on hands on you
And you get healed for 42
I got the healing on you already
And for that you should now have
The lay on hands buff I think
Yes you should have that
So that should increase your AC
Thanks buddy
So that's it
My first action
Go into there
Then boom
Go over the healing Veena
So Veena's popped up
Tannhauser's popped up
He can't see Baldrick right now
He doesn't know what's happening to Rahula
Because he's in the oh no zone
And so that
Question
Yes
Question
So it was move
Heal Tannhauser
I did
Doctor's Visitation was the first one
So Doctor's Visitation
Okay
Move up
It has a move as part of it
Gotcha
Gotcha
Yeah so that's how I was able to do all that action
Very nice
Don't worry I understand
Awesome
Don't worry I'll be cheating
But with that
I am done
Intern
Hi Veena
Okay
That's me
Thanks Orin
Thanks buddy
I'm still really fucking scared right now
It's okay Ms. Veena
We fought worse
I thought we did
But these guys are kicking our ass
We can do anything together Ms. Veena
We can do anything together Ms. Veena
We can do anything together Ms. Veena
We can do anything together Ms. Veena
So what happens
I just throw good
You're right
Like good
Good nice creatures at you
Instead of fucking
And you
Truly you are the enemies
Exactly
Are we the baddies?
Alright
First action
I'm going to
Faint
Get a little panache
Panache
Panache
Panache
Alright
I fail
But I still get the panache
On a failure
Because I am a fencer
And I'm not going to fail
So I'm going to
um oh man you failed by two which is the exact amount you're frightened by isn't that
everyone wants to take a shit on me
all right
i'm hitting him i'm hitting the bird i got him
oh with a 41 we got him um yeah damage
i've got my finisher ticked let's go oh nice that's not bad 40 points of damage
you slash into this thing expertly um causing some of its its its semi-corporeal form to burst
out around you in in this kind of like
spectral light that seeps from it knowing that it's not truly incorporeal but it gives
off this image
all right and then i'm going to try to strike this creature one more time that this beautiful
majestic creature you uh at a minus five and i whiff it
uh by two again
why is vena going it should be tannhauser's turn
i was thinking that but i didn't want to
why did that
yeah i have tannhauser here for the ward
weird
yeah vena why did you do that
yeah i don't know why
i'm just greedy i'm just a greedy bastard
uh no let me let me check here um okay okay okay so i'm checking and my screen had her
in the center and highlighted so i just reloaded and now it's tannhauser there so foundry was
being a weirdo for me
found i'm foundry's favorite
i guess okay here's what here's what we'll do here's what we'll do here's what we'll
do
uh tannhauser and rahua both delayed until after vena
that makes sense yeah there we go there we go this is a good gm knows how to fudge the
numbers so that people don't get angry at him this is very important tannhauser uh tries
to say one of his famous catch phrases but instead just goes blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah i want to start first and um i'm going to try to persist with what
i've been trying to do for a while i am going to attempt to pry orin's mother free from
this ancient tree in hopes that that may be some sort of load stone yeah well i believe
athletics chick absolutely uh i do not get my nanite surge since i already used it
yeah um i don't have any magic or any other tricks up my sleeve so let's rock it with
The Athletics check.
And that's going to be a 13-mana die for 33.
You were finally able to peel back some of the rot,
breaking off strands of it that hungrily seemed to snap back.
But there's still more to get through here.
I see, I see.
How many actions does that count?
It's ooze versus rot.
In that case, it's one.
But you take a multiple penalty for subsequent ones.
All right, well, we're going to keep going.
This is that important.
Okay.
All right, so that's another roll.
And that is of a seven on the die for a 27.
Ooh, not that great.
It's a 22 total, which will sadly not be enough.
The rot seems to be fighting back,
though you're able to keep it from reforming
and clutching on.
You're not making any more progress,
though you feel you're close.
One more.
I hate you, chat.
It's oozing time.
That's a natural one.
Oh!
Ah, this is...
I should have fixed this.
Click that complicate button.
And then when you click whichever one you want,
that should now allow you to post it in chat and stuff.
So hopefully that works this time.
Oh, foolish me.
I did not get the XL.
I'll cheat up.
No, no, no, that's fine.
This does it automatically for you.
Use the button.
Yeah.
Oh, beautiful.
Yeah, you just click that complicate button in chat.
Oh, I like this.
Oh, this is awesome.
So you read through whichever one you want.
Then when you pick which one, you click it,
and it should post to chat.
There you go.
It does that.
It shows it and everything.
Hello, this is me by Stad Nathurcel.
Suddenly get a flashback that takes you through
what led you to your current situation,
causing you to monologue either yourself or out loud.
Oh, that's awesome.
Oh, that's awesome.
Oh, that's awesome.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Okay.
How do you fucking ooze monologue?
Then there's like an overlay of like,
so you're probably wondering how I got here.
I take a look at Oren's mom.
I grasp her by the shoulders with my oozing pseudopods,
and I begin shaking her,
and I begin emotionally telling her about all of the cases,
and I begin emotionally telling her about all of the cases,
and I begin emotionally telling her about all of the cases,
and I begin emotionally telling her about all of the cases,
all of the character journey that Oren has gone through,
how much he's been through and how brave and strong
he's been this entire time.
And for the sake of his son, she must persist.
She must stop this to fight this or end this.
And then he realizes halfway through the final conclusive paragraph
that all that he's been saying has been
.
And he's like, as long as it works.
All right.
Alright, and that's the chance. Maybe she speaks slime.
That's the Oosthouzer turn.
Alright.
That brings us
Hey, buddy.
Hi, Thurston.
Hey.
Hey, buddy.
Can, uh...
Well, give me one
sec here.
Gotta roll something.
Okay.
Take your time, Thurston. It's fine.
Oh, I am. Don't worry.
I know.
Can you give me a Fortitude save?
Sure.
Here you go. Here's a Fortitude save.
Oh.
Oh! That's a 31.
This'll fail. Okay.
Of course it will.
Well, you're only going to take 24 points of cold damage at the start of your turn.
Wow, that's awesome.
Now tell me what other damage I have to roll to take.
Well, so, you're also in the tangling Vineymen things, but those just slow you down.
So, so really you're just like double slowed in the fog, uh, because you're clumsy.
So you're actually at minus 25 feet of movement right now.
now so oh so what you're telling me is there's zero way for me to leave
would have actually started minus 20 feet
um but yes that's correct that's correct you are cold uh grappled by tiny plants at your feet
and in an invisible cage that's great thurston i'm gonna gonna do the best i can to survive
right now and i'm gonna i believe in you i am gonna pop a level two heal of myself
spend one of my cleric funds hell yeah do it do it
maybe you'll get good dice rolls 59 it's not terrible 59 59 and i'm gonna use my five feet
of movement to move five feet and you go right up against this invisible barrier that you could
feel right at the at the north of you wow this sure is i'm oh god it's so cold in here anarchy
help me am i glad i'm frozen in here and they're out there and i'm in here they're out there but
what i want to know is where's baldrick
well
hey baldrick what are you
so um you're currently dying yep i gotta make a roll to not
yeah you gotta make me a recovery check it is a flat check with a dc uh equal to 10 plus your
dying value yeah so character sheet top left there under temp hp number there yeah got it
so i am a dying two i'm gonna roll oh
i got a one
oh no
hey thurston
uh-oh
uh-huh
that gives me two points of dying because of the crit failure
uh-huh
i think that puts me at four
that fucking kills you
i die awesome
what
yeah you're dead
huh
yeah uh dice just kind of screwed me on that one and because it's a one uh you're dead
yeah uh dice just kind of screwed me on that one and because it's a one uh you're dead
you're dead
i can't really do any can i re-roll that
yeah
yeah
you can you can finally take my pity erndale you can take it
oh
no i have a hero point we started it didn't we or no i'm out aren't i i'm out of i'm out of hero points
no you've got one hero point
uh except for thurston do we all start with the hero point today or no
no not not mid-fight you don't get to reset
okay so you don't start with one
but okay
i will gloriously grab my hero point
gloriously grant you a pity point
they're
gloriously
yeah you're gonna complicate it
anyways I know it's just yeah I like
that you're giving me this it's like
I'm graciously giving you a thing
that does not kill your character I'm gonna
do
I mean to be fair
to be fair it's not that it doesn't kill
you I mean you can still
roll another natural what are the odds
of that
very
well see this is really funny
Thurston because of all of these things
none of them work
because they all require
me to be awake
you you
oh really well don't worry don't worry
no it's okay I'll just pick
this one because I think I've got a funny one
the complication
by tab 13 is what was that
a loud noise draws the attention of
anyone who hears it
uh the loud noise
is
Baldrick loudly
nearly dying
what does that sound like
yeah uh
it is the sound
of audible blood gushing
which Rahua I will say
can hear perfectly well
from his frozen pit of hell
because he is very attuned to such
things
he is very attuned to the specific
sound of Baldrick bleeding out from
two bullshit void
explosions that I couldn't even get a chance
to walk away from
throws a rocket you
so
yeah all right there we go
oh
all right see what that re-roll is
see what that re-roll
is we're gonna try
that again
now I just I just roll the recovery check again
I don't like re-roll it with a hero point
do I
yeah you can just you can just recall
it's a flat check so there's no you do you can't get bonuses on
yeah
that's a success
yay
hooray
I want you to again it was very close to that one
and that one would have been really funny
because then I would be dead
oh well I know so your your dying value goes down by one
you are now dying
awesome
that's very funny
he lives
yeah
god that's that was
Thurston hits me with two
60 foot explosions
yeah welcome to the fucking
mid-levels
I couldn't move
cool
um
I
go with the other
paraton
the other paraton that's flying around
will
hmm
this is funny
oh I don't have enough movement
to do what I want to do
very sad
um
yeah you should just stand there and do nothing
he's tired
he's tired
yeah that's true that's true but he does have
oh
Zeke it's gonna it's gonna fly over to here
it's going to roll me
it's gonna roll a d20 for reasons
okay um it can't target Rahua so it's action fails
oh well that's good
because Rahu is concealed in the mist
and he can't quite see through all of the mist
to try to turn Rahu
into a statue
um
come on now
or at least
put the slowed condition on him
which would be equally as funny
in Rahu as current
it will take six points of fire
damage in an attempt to make a recovery test
I gotta say something
he is no longer a fire
I gotta say something by the way
it was very funny that you uh
I almost died to that crit fail
uh and then Cab shows up
in the chat
yeah
no
it's okay
the only other player to die in one of these as far as I know
I think twice now
it's okay
I'll give him a third time
wink
don't worry Cab
don't worry Cab
Cab
Cab
he messaged me during this
to be like
Thurston
Thurston
I desperately am in love with Guardian now
I want to be big thick boy
and I'm like
that sounds like a challenge to kill you Cab
um
alright
I got
I got a flying paraton
by Avena
um
this paraton is now fully armed
and operational
armed?
uh
he's got a gun
because now it's mimic shadow ability is up
and it's flying above you Avena
and you're frightened one
so it's gonna
start with the antlers
and move its way down
forcing more checks on you
oh
it's okay Miss Avena
I got your back
yeah
you got a little heel robot behind you
what is the worst that could happen
my little buddy
okay
that's just a regular hit
okay
that's just a regular hit
uh
regular style
yeah yeah yeah yeah
um
okay
so you're gonna take
roll this deal
flying
the flying paraton deals 40 points of damage
ow
and then I'm gonna have you uh
haha
take another will save
give me another will save
okay
as it's starting to inflict multiple frighten-y conditions on you
oh!
aww look at that
oh!
that's a 20 maybe
okay
very nice
you do not fear the dark
I am not afraid
it follows up with tiny bites
ow
it misses its tiny bite
oh I'm good
uh
yeah
yeah
it misses its tiny bite
and for its last action
there you go
it flies 50 feet to here
to get back here
yeah
I strike at thee
uh
it's heart would like to do an attack of opportunity
it explodes and dies
sorry
oh shit
I didn't realize that
it was funny you're in my head
I whiff
you whiff
I whiff
because you are prone and clumsy and and and and all of the things
I'm having a tough time
I'm having a bit of a tough time
wait why am I prone?
when did I fall off?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
why is this happening like this?
one more
this is the second time
all over
well I'll get up next turn
oh boy
that's the second Periton's go
Oren
you're up
also Veena
the Lay on Hands
has dissipated
from you
but you're only afraid one now so
oh
it's okay Miss Veena
this'll help keep you going
going along in the fight
this means you
as long as this is up
you can't die
well theoretically
hahahaha
hahaha
hahaha
hahahaha
hahaha
I cast... Oh, no! Oh, sorry. Oh, my bad.
Veena turns into a bunch of big, wet eyes.
I cast Regenerate on Veena.
Ah, very nice. To explain what this does,
I'll read through it, because we haven't seen it, it's a 7th level spell.
Um, an infusion of Vigilant Energy grinds your creature continuous healing.
The target temporarily gains regeneration 15, does it last for a minute?
Which restores 15 hit points to it at the start of its turn.
So, at the start of your turn, you heal for 15.
While you have regeneration, you can't die from taking hit point damage,
and its dying condition can increase to a value that would kill it.
This stops most creatures dying, conditioning it to dying 3, and all that stuff.
Nice. Nice.
There's still a technical way for you to die, but it's a lot harder.
Like, if you get knocked down, you just regenerate back up.
Um, so each time the creature... Okay, cool.
...regains hit points, regeneration also regrows 1 damage to a ruined organ,
so you can regrow your limbs.
So if you, you know, lost your tonsils as a kid, or got them cut out, they're coming back.
Oh my god, my wisdom teeth!
Yeah, they start growing.
Ahhhh!
Odo, Veena's a sylph. They don't have wisdom teeth problems.
They don't even have teeth. That's right.
True. They're gone.
Nah.
They use, uh, they use, like, they're like whales. They only eat krill.
That's right, they're baleen. They filter out all the bacteria from the alcohol they drink.
This is true. This is the deep lore.
It's the sylph-co-foo-foo-tood system.
Remove their teeth so they can eat the magic.
That's true! I wanna be a foo-toober too!
Well, now you can!
First of all, your teeth are removed.
So now, uh, for his last action, because I'll take two actions to do it on my last action,
I will lay on hands on Veena again, and that shall...
Thanks, buddy.
Heal thee up for 42 again.
And you got your AC bonus up again.
So now, you're good to go kick its ass.
I have set you up. Yay!
I need to go take care of other people right now.
So your appointment's over. Okay.
This'll be 5,000 gold.
Oh, oh, okay.
In turn. Now it's your turn, girl.
Now it's my turn.
All right.
Veena is going to...
Uh, uh...
Free action. I'm gonna ruffle Oren's hair and just...
Thanks, buddy! We got this!
It gives you a thumbs up.
First action!
I'm gonna move.
Uh...
Oh, why is it saying...
Am I... Oh, I do have to get up.
First action, get up.
I am standing.
Stand up.
First action, stand.
Second action, I'm walking you.
I'm gonna get here.
Oh, wait, do I need one more to be with the Paraton?
Yes.
Oh.
Oh!
I do not have...
Oh, wait, no.
It should be 45.
Why does it...
Why does that say 50?
Just go down because diagonal is double.
So go down one more space and now you'll be diagonal.
Oh, yeah.
There I am.
But it is five feet up in the air.
But by the relation of that, you're still adjacent to its square.
Yeah, I'm still...
I can still hit if it's only five feet.
I'm still...
I'm still...
I'm still...
I'm still...
I'm still...
I'm still...
I'm still...
I'm still...
I can still hit if it's only five feet up.
So I should be okay.
That was two actions.
And then third action, I'm just gonna have to smack it normal style.
I don't know why it says I have panache.
It gave me it twice.
There we go.
There's a little glitch thing.
Oh.
I love this game.
This is the best game.
Oh, my God.
This is such a fun game.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
This is the ones episode.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
This is the ones episode.
You remember that other fight?
Yeah.
What's fascinating here is that like we could theoretically heal up a lot of the damage,
but it's not gonna mean anything because this fight isn't being timed.
We're just gonna lose the DPS race.
Oh, here we go.
I've got another.
I've...
with this one but um uh here's a good complication my body's had enough or wait i think i've already
done this one did that one not uh i don't know i i don't remember i can consult the sheet
the sheet the sheet
no you have not oh unless you just forget the market maybe i was just looking at it
uh i don't remember yeah whatever they get a twofer i guess if he did
yeah uh by carlowski upon critical failure of any athletics acrobatics crafting attacking
spellcasting or any other strenuous activity the body of the player character
simply gives up and collapses onto the floor like a wet noodle whether it is out of exhaustion
illness or whatever cause the body simply refuses to cooperate for a moment um and uh yeah vina's
just gonna ragdoll based i get right up and they take me down one sec here i'm just gonna
get knocked down again there we go it's my favorite condition i love being prone i go
bed
that's right you go back and uh that's my turn guys my very impressive dps
oh yeah just saying that happened on the last episode but that was that seems like
yeah it did sound familiar oh why you were proud then let me get a different one get pick a
different one uh pick a different one can i can i can i go unprone you no chat thank ah okay
uh you should be you should be able to get a different one
you should have fuck it we're not gonna just go to the spreadsheet pick one up
spreadsheet all right i got i got it favorited so it's okay i can pull it up
uh because i got i got two letters you got your health pool favorited
thank you chat for remembering we appreciate it thank you chat yeah you keep us honest
chat give yourself a pity point we pity you don't give him that power
we you i feel for you nothing but abjectness
yeah you have to watch oh here we go here's here here's another one that will probably just end up
with the same result um this one by zixinous complication name oh shit uh a slippery object
banana peel wet soap dog poo etc escapes notice of a character that just steps on it with their
full body weight at a really inappropriate time uh they are thus transported into a direction
or obstacle against their will they must maintain balance and handle the consequences of their
unwitting relocation
okay
so yeah i'm sure there's like a slippery patch of rot that vina just kind of skates into
yeah i won't make you prone
you have something worse don't you yeah i'm gonna increase your clumsy condition by
time
yeah
yeah
I don't even want to re-roll the hit anymore
I don't even have finesh
i'm ending my turn
Leary you
did it you wore us down
I don't even i i i don' y' knowI don't even feel the pain everyone else has i'm in a different kind of universe
I'm in a different kind of universe
hell i'm in a i'm in a hell where i'm like i'm not getting fucked over i just i have to make
one check i've literally spent my past four turns making one check that i'm not even bad at i've got
like plus 20 and i've just failed the threshold like all but like twice basically so i've spent
this entire combat just failing one skill check while everyone else goes through the battle of
the psalm so on that note you're gonna give me that skill check yeah yeah back in my day
i've got a laugh if this does nothing
i will tear orin's mother and let's see what i rolled i rolled a no what you meant to say was
you're going to tear orin's mother three three i rolled a three on the dice or 23 i assume that's
not enough
let's go again let's go gambling all right this one is being made up minus five let's see what we
got here that's a 13 on the dice for a 33 is a 28 enough not quite i feel i swear to fucking god
all right like it's not like it's not okay it's not like it's just that you're rolling not great
okay i know i know okay okay speaker speaker i i'm doing the math right now
if you're taking this at a minus 10 you're not making it but i could get a 20. you could get a 20
you go ahead there's nothing else that is more useful than a 1 in 20 chance to win okay
because i was told not to it was yeah it was about to eat that 20 and it bounced off the
bottom of the screen and and that's ten houses turn i'll see you guys next round uh good luck
26 it is not in fact townhouse in time
all right back to the cuckoo cage give me a base of fortitude save rather to uh
wow wow it's the same it's even worse the last time my dice are so good
28 chat come with me into my office for a second we're gonna die how are you gonna accomplish that
hey chat thanks thanks thanks oh no can you get
door thanks appreciate it the king is gonna wind up saving the world
chad are you having fun are you having fun chad are you enjoying this
because i better be seeing i better see nose
go my sycophants say no i'm just gonna roll some damage oh there you go there you go
uh so trapped inside the invisible cage with tendrils grasping at your feet
and a cold obscuring fog that did admittedly protect you last round um
you take uh you you take a little a little bit more cold damage but you have your actions what
are you doing uh so am i still trapped in the cage or can i leave it oh you're trapped you cannot
exit this cage it's also invisible you just kind of walked into it you see wow outlined slightly
from the mist which kind of gives it away a little
me would this have a cool have a hardness value or something or
i don't know you'd have to recall knowledge about the type of stuff oh course i
would yeah it's nature you could do it i would love to recall knowledge about the cut cage
remember the gut cage oh my god it was so close to that one i saw that
it was alive
34 is that enough complicating the cage um do i possess a cash it cut cage knowledge
yes yes you do it is a mobile invisible prison of hardened wood suffused with vital energy
uh from the crucible of creation the cage is a 20 foot cube made of branches um each about a
half thick and a half inch apart um it has 10 ac 20 hardness and 40 hit points is immune to
critical hits and precision damage it has weakness to void damage that's the only thing that can get
through it is spell effects or tiny sized creatures
yes
you
and here it's the it's the perfect spell by the way just like for all of y'all out there who are
like how do i make my mid-level threats better it's like the best three action spell you dump
on an opponent and then go blast it because they have to live in the cuck cage until they
until they break it or die from all your aoe's
man i gotta learn the
cuck cage
this fucking sucks dude oh hold on it's got to be an arcane cut cage equivalent
uh let me double check i'll see i'll see if there's thanks yeah just let me know
it's an orange so i can do this horrible shit to you next well look i took some inspiration for
you it is arcane and primal you absolutely can learn the cut oh fuck yeah cut cage
jutsu it's not a kk genkai
yeah
you should spend all three of your actions next turn studying the cut cage
yeah that's right i mean i might just fucking well
it is it is a three action spell to cast but boy howdy when you cast it is it a game what's so
fucked up i i'm sorry to to just fucking rant on your journal what's so fucked up about this
is that like i feel like this encounter wouldn't even have been that difficult
except for there's a bunch of small weird modifiers on this like the the fucking stags
are intangible at a time when i don't have any good spells for unintangible well what what's
really funny is the fact that like multiple times in last session it was determined that they are
corporeal they just have the appearance of being intangible but by the point you discovered that
you were already committed to the to the grippers maneuver oh my god
yeah i forgot about that well yep so you have that you have the fact that we can't really or
don't want to kill orin's mom who is clearly the epicenter of this so our usual chance of well if
we can't beat the summons let's take out the summoner is out the window it's like a breakfast
machine of misery i'm really excited to see what happens next i i like i like the mental image
speaker of you explaining all the things that you're trying to do with the summoner and you're
explaining all this as ooze hauser to the four of you over there and then in the distance baldrick
is dying yes
thurston so you said it was spell effects or void damage correct
spell effects can go through it void it has weakness to void oh i see gotcha gotcha
so here here i was pouring over my spell is like wait fuck i can't guess any of these things though
killing myself or my teammates
nick crowd is in this area no i won't
just get a blow even Ned has to.
no you can cast in and out of it you can cast in and out of this thing fine
I can't really do much because all of it's gonna depend on people staying in the same area
uh instead i'm i'm just gonna make a hole i'll do it for who it does best and make doors
like the cave hold on no you just have to make an attack like a regular attack without targeting
something it's gonna be a plus 23 to hit i believe in you you can only miss on a one
in fact if it's easy you can just roll a d20 that's what i'm doing right now because it won't
let me use my standard attack yeah i think we have that mod on that yeah look you hit
yeah that's fine okay 34 uh roll damage okay
20 damage points a day you do 10 points of damage to the
there's 30 left
it's map minus 10 that's fine it's map minus five oh right right man minus five how could i forget
well
give me a d20 yeah it's gonna be a plus uh 18 it's gonna be a one is what it's gonna be all
geek crowd no it would never be a one thurston but boy howdy it's getting close at 22 there we go
that'll hit roll damage again okay that's cool rolling damage i need to buy some wd-40 for your
chair thurston i know i'm sorry it's really bad lately oh all right
well 70 damage oh is that cool it's it's minus 10 it is 10 hardness so
oh all right there's 23 hit points left on the cut cage
holy shit the matrix is i'm in this bitch i can't get out
pass the excellent uh baldrick you want to roll me another recovery check please
i think i would rather just take damage but i'll do that anyway thanks
you're welcome
there's my character sheet not popping up baldrick roll that one again
there is my character there we go all right why are you so mean
and that's oh there we go i i'm gonna tell you right now i didn't need the 20.
i'm stabilized but i'm still out of the fight yeah you're still unconscious he's literally
just chilling but now you are not dying you are unconscious what a
what a waste of a 20. i'm angry i'm gonna
all right
all right well it's back to parroting time
i test that cast that i've used a lot of good spells here fuck you
fuck you
there's just got the sears catalog over was like i didn't buy the like rideable lawnmower
yet it's totally like a fucking serious catalog good primal spells too um it's gonna fly between
oran and tannhauser the parrot and sort of gracefully glides behind the the group uh
oran it looms above you it's actually gonna descend a bit as it comes in just so it's
of tan hauser um it's good where is he going to lie in the corner or is he just not gonna
keep him with any of those guys oh my gosh i'm just gonna keep him with any of those
guys i'm so sorry about that it's just gonna be a lot of fun for me to play with our friends
gonna cast spell on tanhousing tanhouser can you give me a fortitude save please yeah absolutely
absolutely i can all right hold on oh my god sorry foundry is moving very slow for me
nice your heart acceleration's on
i thought i had to make sure it was off no always on you can't oh that's why it's moving so slow
well don't worry because i rolled a three for 25.
uh
yeah critical failure what's it up
uh
oh no hey hey what's up hey speaker hey how you doing i've got two pity points left
would you like one would you like to borrow
a
point for the bank of me yeah absolutely you know i'm just i'm gonna slide this coin across
the table to you thanks i'll take that i'll take that yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't i don't even i
don't even know what the fuck's about to happen i i'll just trust your word on that yeah i'll
take a pity point yeah just reroll that thanks cool you got it all right 11 for 33
okay okay
so it's a failure which is not a critical failure oh that's bad
no no it's it's it's better than it would have been i believe you it casts execute on you
and invokes the the demise of all things and you take 70 points of way damage
oh yeah that's a lot
oh
Oh, oh, owie.
I take 70 points?
Yep.
It's not 140, which is what you would have taken with the crit fail.
Okay, here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to reaction.
No, I can't because I'm a giant.
What?
Why can't you react as a giant ooze?
Ooze.
I'm a giant ooze.
I can't do that.
So I think I'm down because I can't cast my spells as a giant ooze.
Oh.
I had temp HP, but I guess it's all gone away.
So yeah, I think I'm down.
Let's take a look here.
I forget what happens if you go unconscious while you're polymorphed.
If it's a concentrate, I think you just demorph.
It's not.
So it's just a minute.
So I think he's still a ooze.
Yeah.
Cool.
All right.
Let me check and see.
If I have any resistances that can help me here.
Is this a critical hit, precision damage, acid piercing, or slashing?
No, it's void.
Void.
Okay.
This may shock you to know that I do not have any void resistances.
Yeah, I think I'm down.
And this is concentrate.
Oh, it is?
Yeah, it's concentrate.
Oh, it is.
Okay.
So ooze form is concentrate.
Yeah.
So then you are going to stop being ooze, man.
Yeah.
So I go down.
Mr. Tad, out of there.
I'm going to put you in this square.
One sec.
There we go.
That's fair.
That's where I was when I oozed.
Yeah.
Honestly, it would probably be better for all of us that this happened.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, that's Parrot and one Parrot and two.
Hey, Vena.
Yeah, Thurston.
Wow.
I like that Venus to me directly now.
She looks up at the sky.
Yeah.
You're about to knock out all of our DPS.
You know what's going to happen.
Come on.
I'm going to hit you once with antlers.
Just do that real fast.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I've got a plan.
I'm going to miss with the antlers.
That's good.
That's very good.
I will get some panache for that.
Yep.
My next action.
However.
Is going to be casting a spell.
Don't do that.
I am going to.
You can't do that.
It's going to cast a spell.
Uh huh.
And he'll, he'll, he'll glide gracefully down to the ground as he does this.
And I'm going to get you to give me a fortitude safe, please.
It looks very oddly like the, the imitated action that you saw right behind you from
ooze Hauser.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, I looked at that 17 and it looked back at me, but it's a 25.
Hey, Vena.
Okay.
I would like.
Do I have a hero point?
揤
I don't think I do.
Oh, there's one pity.
Pointed.
The tank.
Oh, wow.
Is this worth taking?
Has, tan.
H meter?
Or no.
Who else took a pity point?
Okay.
It's supposed to complicate.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's right, yeah.
So top left, the little person icon,
you click that and you should see a skull icon.
If you click that, it'll trigger the UI thing
so you can do the complication button again.
Oh, very nice.
Okay, hold on, let's see.
And that's how you can redo it for everyone else.
You're on hold while we hurt her speaker even further.
I need to be hurt more.
I'm sorry, repeat again how I do that.
I'm stupid.
Top left on Foundry,
I'll actually just give you a screenshot, actually.
How do you do that?
Oh, I see it, there's a little skull man.
Yeah, I found that instantly.
Why am I not seeing it, am I stupid?
Click the ruler. I see it.
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
There you go, you did it.
And that should give you the UI and stuff.
Well, the only one that it's giving me
is one that I have already used last session.
So, okay, destructive rage.
A punch, kick, throw or otherwise damage
or destroy an object of the GM's choice.
One sec.
I think part of the reason you received only one
is because you didn't pick two new ones.
Sick.
I think so. I think so.
Cause I rarely actually get complications
since I'm a wizard.
Very mad.
very mad speaker
yeah
I was going into your inventory to see what I could
have you destroy from it
and I was like
where the fuck are the caltrops
where are they
I've been waiting two whole goddamn seasons
since you fucking threw them at trees
but they're gone
they're not here
you already took them in real
rage
it's true
it's true
your rage
I'm going to have you destroy your climbing kit
which includes your grapple hook
no
his best item
my cool fucking grappling hook
gone
gone
Veena
that's me
we return to you
now I have good news
so there is one pity point on the table
still
there's
there's a pity point on the table
that I'm willing to part with
now before I'm you know
part with this pity point
do know it might be important for you know
other things
do know that based on your current hit point total
you do have 144 hit points
yeah
I will save them
if the crit fail occurs
you will not go into dying
you will have four hit points left
yep
so I
I'm just gonna hang on
I'm just gonna hang on
I'm just gonna do my best
I will save the pity point
you take 140 points of damage
as like this projection
uh
Oozehauser didn't see the the one behind him
because it came from behind
but you see the the mouth of this parrot and open
and then like a spectral version comes out of the already semi-incorporeal
and seems to dive for your heart
attempting to consume it
it
ow
oh fuck
that was a lot of hp
orenhove
your allies
are
in such dire straits
oh yeah
Tannhauser has like reverted from being an ooze
his hands grasped around the rot tendrils
by your your mother connected to this tree
Rahua banging
with their pick attempting to get through
this strange barrier.
You see a heart strike on Veena.
Across the tangling creeper miasm,
you can barely make out Baldrick's collapsed form.
If I combine the hit points of everyone in the party,
they would have not even like a quarter
of your hit points right now.
What are you doing?
Doing my best.
Doctor's visitation.
I run the townhouser.
And I can battle for Madison twice.
So what dying value are you at, Speaker?
I am a dying one.
I just accidentally got rid of my dying one.
My bad.
I don't want to risk it,
because if I do a risky surgery,
I bring that down to two immediately.
So I'm not going to do that.
So I'm not going to be able to do awesome stuff.
But we're going to just do normal.
Without that, see how well we can do here.
I do have a hero points.
Well, now I succeeded.
55 is fine.
You get healed for 55.
So you get that.
I have no more focus points,
so I can't do any lay on hand stuff on you.
But I'm going to spend now my remaining two actions
to give you a little hop.
So I'm going to try to get you up here
because I can do one action rush over.
Well,
I'm going to try to get you up here.
I'm going to try to get you up here.
I'm going to try to get you up here.
I'm going to try to get you up here.
I'm going to try to get you up here.
I'm going to try to get you up here.
Roll some healing for you.
With my healing staff,
I enhance it so you can heal for 76 more.
You're basically nearly at full at this point.
So Ornn just,
just like shocks you with like,
just natural healing.
It just surges through your ooze form,
sending a glow within.
She's like,
don't die, Mr. Tadhaser.
And as he kind of looks around and,
you know,
hearing about it,
Baldrick's Demise,
Ornn's just panicking, because he's
losing everything in his life right now.
Like,
this is some of his worst fears.
And he looks over to Rahu as he
begins to make motions to
go there, but he can't, because it's the end of his turn.
So, you know,
your regeneration automatically applies.
Odo, now it's your turn, so it already did
that for you. Oh, very nice.
You heal for 15 points, you have 19 health.
Yay!
Yay! Ornn, my buddy,
my poor guy.
Also, it's been past six rounds, is that
first AoE still there, or?
I don't know how long it lasts. Oh, yeah, because it's
minutes.
It's a minute,
and so it's at least 10 rounds.
Okay, okay. I'll stop for a second.
Yeah. Alright.
I'm on my
feet, so Veena's gonna
grit her teeth, and she's gonna hit this
thang with a
feint.
I believe in you.
Very clumsy as now.
Just, uh,
bobbing and weaving and
trying to stay light on her feet
despite the, uh,
spell that is kicking
her ass right now.
Alright, I got the panache.
And then I will
attack! My second action.
Ha!
Ha!
Got him.
You'll hit? Just barely.
Jesus. And...
Some damage!
That's pretty okay!
That's 32!
32!
Okay, the
staggers back, kind of howling as
you've struck it.
Alright, come on.
Let's get this over with.
Quit bullying
my little guy!
I'm gonna stab it again at Matt minus 5.
I saw that one.
But nay.
But nay.
I like that we keep saying
that as though the one is not on the die.
I get the fear, but it is
like, I saw the one!
It's like it's visible from half of the gun.
The dice was, like,
lodged into the corner of the screen,
and it looked like it was landing on the one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But luckily,
no.
So with that, that is going to be my turn.
Vina is going to be my turn.
Vina is going to be my turn.
Vina is going to stay in melee with this thing,
just desperately trying to keep it off of everybody else.
Don't you have panache to do your finisher
damage, even though you failed?
I did do my finisher damage.
Or no, I used my panache.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It just doubles it.
My bad.
No worries.
It's okay.
Hey, Rahula.
Hi, Thurston.
Basic fort save.
Give me a fort save.
This is my buddy.
Are you...
It keeps getting fucking worse, dude.
I swear to you.
I swear my dice are rigged.
They're actively plotting my downfall.
There are snipers outside of my house.
They're beaming thoughts into my head.
Control,
Hulk, you've become aware of the operation.
Please, take him down.
Guys, guys, guys.
I know you've listened to every Rock Grand episode ever,
but I only need you to go back, like,
two episodes to when they fought the lizard,
and we're fucking laughing about how easy life was
because they fucking had this abundance of 20s on everything.
And the pendulum does swing both ways.
I'm just...
It swings both ways if you have your hand on the pendulum,
Mr. Illuminati.
I just had a coworker message me to say this is so painful.
So...
Come on!
No kidding!
Relatable, though, but, you know,
um,
our Paizo-sanctioned misery.
That's right.
Damn straight, it's painful, Lisa.
Now, why don't you fucking get out of here and roll better than I can?
I can't.
Lisa's the owner of the company.
I don't think she's messaging me.
Um...
Uh, you will take...
I don't...
Hey!
Oh, I've got great news.
I've got great news, Hulky.
I've got such great news.
Yeah, you got great news?
You got great news?
Such great news.
You're gonna take double this
because you crit failed with the 20s.
Wow!
Fucking cool!
That's gonna be 48 points of damage,
which, which, by the way, Hulky,
puts you at the same four hit point value
that Odo was at, uh, last turn.
Yay!
Um, you, you may,
you may now take your actual turn.
Oh, mister.
Everything's coming up.
Everything's certainly going to stop, right?
Soon they'll get to do things.
Will we?
No, not, not you and me.
I mean, they will get to do things.
The creatures.
They'll get to kill us.
The creatures, they do get to kill us.
Oh, yeah, no, they most certainly will.
They most certainly will.
They are allowed to do that.
Uh, let me just, uh,
let me just put that in the chat there
just so I can,
just so I can see,
just like, I want to see something.
For who is going to reach around his body
and rip off the frozen pieces of bark
so more of it can grow back,
I'm going to cast a one-action heal on myself.
Are you sure you want to do a one-action heal?
It does not heal that much.
It's true.
However,
our swashbuckler is about to get annihilated by a deer.
And you're closer to me.
I will come back up, uh, if that helps.
Yeah, she has regeneration on.
Yeah, I got regen.
I, look, look, I apologize for being that guy.
Because every time someone does a single-action heal,
I freak the fuck out.
So, let me...
Well, sorry, I had a plan.
I had a plan.
Don't worry.
You were 100% right?
I'm going to shut the fuck up.
You do your turn.
My bad.
All right.
So, I'm going to cast that one-action heal on myself.
And try and stay up a little bit longer.
Okay, roll that.
While you're rolling it,
I'll give my next follow-up quote.
This is especially hilarious
as someone who has seen many a car totaled by deer.
Oh, dear.
Oh, I'm going to...
I'm going to unsend that.
I'm going to...
I got you.
I got you.
I got you.
You got this, Loki.
I believe.
Do I have to roll a fort save on myself to heal?
No.
That's for...
That's weird.
That's for undead.
Yeah, that's if you hurt...
Which you are now.
That's right.
That's true.
Okay.
Very good.
I'm going to heal 26.
Okay.
26, okay.
That's all right.
Good job, champ.
Good job.
And now that Rahua has de-iced himself,
he's going to fiddle around in his compartments
for something, anything.
And pull out what looks like
a little crystallized storm cloud.
He'll study it in his hand with his frozen oculus
because he can't rip out his own eye.
And then he'll jam it into himself.
And for two actions,
I'm going to cast shock to the system.
Okay.
Put it in chat.
We haven't seen this one before.
A dense lightning cloud descends to fill the target space
and fires a jolt of revitalizing lightning to the target.
If the target is a corpse that died in the last round,
the creature comes back to life with zero hit points
and any effects and conditions it had when it died.
But I'm not dead.
However, either way, I get 88 hit points.
And I gain access to a fifth-ranked thunder strike
as an innate spell at will using my spell DC.
Oh, my God.
He's become Victor Dudlock.
I am also now hidden until the end of my next turn.
As if I wasn't hidden before.
Now I'm double hidden.
Oh, the AoE won't attack you then.
Exactly.
The AoE can't see me.
What I find just amazing about this,
that's great, that's great,
is like, if you...
The worst part, it's like the most sad thing,
is like, if you hadn't made that complication
and been sent into the gut cage,
that would have been like the perfect spell
to hit Baldrick with.
Exactly, but now I'm back in the fucking building again.
Okay.
Well, yeah, that's my turn.
Hey, Baldrick.
Bye, Baldrick.
But yeah, I better say, like, what the fuck?
What can I do?
You wouldn't even let me die.
I know, I know.
You need healing.
Otherwise, you just stay unconscious.
I need healing.
You need healing badly.
Tannhauser, you are...
You are back to consciousness.
You are prone.
You remember something tear into your back.
You are now awake with Orin
standing like Mercy from Overwatch over you.
What do you do?
Okay.
I'm prone,
so I will need to spend an action getting up.
So I will remove my prone condition.
Okay.
I rest to my feet.
We're almost there.
I've almost got her out of this thing.
But hopefully this will help.
Behold!
Agents of the Forest!
And I am going to cast Illusionary Creature.
Okay.
It is a second level spell,
but essentially I am going to create the image
of a flame elemental.
Perhaps an image of something that...
might have found its employ under Illort's care.
The image of a fire elemental
in the midst of the forest
shooting fire at the forest.
Okay.
Now, the idea here,
and I'll make it a large creature,
is that hopefully this offense to nature
will hopefully...
I assume you said,
you'll hopefully do this thing.
First, before us.
Yes.
I don't have a means to put it down anywhere,
but we can assume that there is a large creature
just hanging out here.
Here?
Yeah.
Like here.
Okay.
Where are you pinging?
Sorry.
There we go.
In the far off.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Okay.
There we go.
Whoa.
It's causing so much devastation.
It's despoiling nature.
All right.
That's my turn.
For podcast listeners,
our map is kind of square.
It's just the top leftmost portion of the map
where our fire elemental shows up.
So a good chunk away.
Yeah.
So about 75 feet away.
Just gonna...
Give me a sec here.
Ooh.
I saw what was on that die.
This one fails.
Yeah, I can't do hidden rules anymore.
It's gonna run off.
It's gonna be that parrot, and you're gonna distract
that parrot with a second level spell.
See, that's why I prepped it.
It's gonna start savaging that thing.
The other parrot is not going to have that happen.
Okay.
The other parrot has a delicious feast in front of it.
Hey, Veena.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Gonna hit you with some antlers.
Kill my dog.
Dog.
Sam.
Doge.
It's gonna strike you with its antlers
if it impales you.
Can you give me a will save?
Ow.
Oh, but you'll succeed.
I succeeded.
I'm so willful.
Yeah, you don't take more.
That's good.
You'll take 36 points of damage, though.
And an owl.
Whoa.
Now, here's the funny part.
You're...
You're...
You're regenerating.
You're able to regenerate, right?
Yep.
Cool.
I also have die hard.
Cool.
I'm about to do one of the most horrific uses of an ability I think I've ever had.
I think...
Oh, no.
I think inadvertently Zordon has put you in the torture box.
Yeah.
The only problem with this, even though you can't go further down than dying three, that
means he can keep fucking you up.
Just a single thing of damage.
Yeah.
Will keep bringing you...
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Will keep bringing you up.
Just a single thing of damage.
Yeah.
Will keep bringing you...
Well...
I mean, of course, if it's more than fifteen to come back up, but still, it's...
Well, what's gonna happen here?
...push me into torment nexus.
Oh no, no, no, no, you, you don't understand.
Peritons, these are obviously like spectral, like fucking, you know, cast spells, unique
peritons.
Regular peritons though, which these are based off of, um, have an ability...
Oh no.
...called heart ripper.
Oh!
Did they rip open?
Yeah.
the heart of a corpse with their jaws
holy shit
yeah so I'm gonna
take some creative liberty here
oh my god
so this thing is gonna
eat your fucking heart
oh my god
yeah
and then I'm gonna need Oren
Tannhauser
um to give me a will say
wait doesn't
is this an attack
no it has to be dead
yes that's why I said
I'm taking some creative liberty
I apologize I'm sorry
oh
may I um
you can reject this
but my plan was to
delay consequence on that
however it is specifically
when it is hit by an attack
I will say if you do that
that's fine
um
um
but remember it still has
two remaining actions after that
Veena die
wait no
Tannhauser it's fine
I also have delay consequence
doing it twice
so my heart gets ripped out
immediately twice in a row
yeah we're gonna
we're gonna heal your ass
fucking quick
uh yeah sure
you know what
if you'll allow me
I will delay consequence
okay but here
here's where I'm gonna be
be a judge
I will allow it
however
Rahua
the problem is
is you need to be able to see the target
you're in the mist
so there is a chance
that you will not
you will fail
your
your concealed check
so I'm just alerting you
to that potential
wait
that is true
I cannot
because you are 40 feet away
and
delay consequence
has a range of 30
hearts on the
hearts on the menu boys
here's what I'm gonna do though
here's what I'm gonna do
because again
this is more narrative
than technical
I'm gonna
I'm gonna take you down
Veena with the strike
with the antlers
you're gonna fall down
but you're like
you're like fucking Wolverine
your skin's healing
now the primal energy is there
um
so you're kind of like
drifting in and out of consciousness
it's gonna spend two actions
to eat your heart
as you watch it happen
um
Rahua
roll me a d20
just a flat d20 please
oh sure
it's 19
oh
you
you
, you really wanted that one
because you can see this happening
so I need you to give me a will save
oh god
that's awesome
as all three of you
see this parrot
and consuming the heart of your companion
it's a 38
Veena's no good
very bad day
a 24
god damn it
critical failure
Oren got a four
with the 26
that's a failure
Tannhauser this really affects you
which makes sense
because of your relationship with Veena
uh and how close you are to her
uh you uh
you are frightened too
as you watch this parrot
and spend two actions
consuming the heart of your companion
and then watching is the heart like
in the split ribcage is reforming
and the parrot looks down hungrily
um
yeah
oh
Dormant Nights
Oren
yeah
Oren split you in the worst Dormant Nights
I mean I am alive
like like like
I mean I am alive
like like
like like
like okay okay like like let's be honest guys it's not that was not the efficient play
at all I could have been just way more like gaming this is just more horrific as you're
seeing
oh no no
he's taking a victory lap
um what's what's that Greek guy who stole the flame from the gods and
that's happening to you right now
thank you thank you person in chat I was gonna say Thurston doesn't have a heart but now he
does
yeah
thanks
it's like my my plans have adjusted so now
Rahula can you take care of yourself
yeah probably
go get Vida
that was pretty bad uh yeah
yeah I do apologize I do apologize let me let me talk through the process we're not sitting here in silence um I can either
I do have one good one good piece of news I will I forgot to do in that turn
yes sir
sure
um
the cuck cage disappears
yeah
yay
cuckless
I can I can't this is the thought process is to get to Veena and just cast a two-action heal that will just
still be super effective you can get Veena up and then figure all that out and she an keep tanking and possibly do some more damage on her turn because at this point she's down she gets she goes before that thing down so that kind of helps out
or because I still need to rush the Baldrick because right now he's sustained he's he's sustained he's not dying anymore he's chillin'
so what sucks because that means he's not doing anything which I think Baldrick's damage right now is very important
very important um so i think my priority is to deal with vena first so we can try to nuke this
thing down because i think we've done a good bit of damage to this thing so far so oran because i
know that i've only battlefield medicined vena once so i am going to spend i'll try to be
effective with this uh i could spend one action to go i have i have fly so i can actually go
oh actually oh funny enough i have fly so i could just go 35 feet that way and
meanly get her so and i go right along the edge go over to vena and i will battlefield medicine you
and hopefully i do a pretty good roll it's a six i actually fell
oh no i don't think i didn't spend help me with my memory because i'm no i didn't spend my hero
point no i didn't yeah
that's right i didn't spend my hero point you still got one yeah i still got a hero point i want to
re-roll that using a hero point i believe it again it's a zero it's okay with the plus ten
yay success success with plus ten 52 hp so oh that's all i can do uh for you uh i've already
battlefield medicine you twice now that's all i can do for you that's one action the doctor's
visitation and rush over to you and now i'm going to two action heal you and try to get you back up
as much as possible the sixth
rank heal spell and this is what's in the tank oh my god i still have some heels but they're
from my staff now and only have so many charges you get healed for 86 so
like orange is like clear he has like two pieces of like like bark
he brings you right back to life feeling feeling fairly healthy
um and that's going to be all three of his actions he's like miss vina vina are you okay
i'm gonna be okay where's baldry where's everyone he's on the other side of the oh no zones
i'm gonna be on my way to get him soon and i'll end okay his turn okay
oh boy
well i'm no longer in one cage that's good that's a start hey we can work with this
thirst and how slow am i still uh so oh wait you are don't i yeah yeah you're still in the cold
zone so yeah of course fort safe place yeah surely it can't be worse than the three oh no
hey that's not bad it's an 18 for 40 yeah yeah you'll take half damage so that's that's good
that's a good start
it'd be really funny if you roll max damage here and it's utterly pointless
for me nah it was actually pretty mid so you'll
take 14 points of cold that's cool we can deal with that so you're still clumsy
too so that um that means that you are currently at minus 10 for the crepers
and minus 10 foot uh circumstance to your speed because of the creepers
and a minus 10 foot status penalty because you
and minus 10 foot circumstance to your speed because of the creepers and a minus 10 foot status penalty because you
you critically fail to the speeds, as long as you are close to you.
So you are currently at minus 20.
If you leave the bigger zone, you will be at minus 10.
Good to know.
So I'm going to take that opportunity to move out of the inner zone.
Yep.
With five feet of movement.
You're out of the ice fields.
You're still flying, by the way.
Yes.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
True enough.
True enough.
Actually, since you are flying, the creepers can't grab you.
So you can move 10 extra feet.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Actually, instead of moving there, then I'm just going to move over here.
Absolutely.
Put me right in the outside of there.
You're out of the out of the mist.
So.
All right.
I'm going to use my wonderful newfound ability.
I don't know how long it lasts because the duration said it was a minute,
but I don't know if that's how long I've accessed.
The spell or if it's just a single burst.
But either way, I'm going to make use of it while I can.
And I'm going to target that parent right there, sir.
And I'm going to cast a fifth rank thunder strike.
Do it.
Who revs up on the ground, generates some additional static electricity.
I cast this.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
It's a basic reflex.
I can't drop it in the check, right?
No.
All you cast it on this.
Now you cast it.
And then they're sinking.
Click the reflex safe off.
It's going to succeed.
Basically.
But yeah.
But it'll still do damage.
Okay.
Yes.
Now you roll damage.
Roll damage.
Yeah.
Only one to 12.
It's upcast to fifth level or fifth rank.
So that would be five to 12.
here i i got you it's thunder it's thunderstrike right it's got it it's got it okay
and then plus another sonic damage which is gonna be
hey hulky yeah i'll spare you some time as you strike it with your thunder strike
the the crackling air comes around it and pierces it and as it does so
both of the peritons howl in sync and they quickly begin to spiral around the battlefield wildly
until they snap both of them into the tree
and disappear
oh
oh fina thank you for as as that happens there is a a like slushing like a
as the rot that connects astrid um oran's mother to tree literally just like goes from tangible
to pure liquid and splashes on the ground
um a moment later
the various zones of uh terrible quickly dissipate
the creepers and the ice storm left behind
and you're lucky you did any point of damage to that thing because it lit
they had a shared health pool and they had one hit point left between them for like a round
oh my god
which was oh which was fun
um i was really because easy was like oh my god
like thirst and there's two of them you could cast a second cut cage that was gonna happen
that was gonna be a thing
right and i was gonna put it on vina i was gonna put it on vina but you did it you defeated
the parisian spirits which have now gone back into the tree uh oran's mother kind of like
lets out a gasp as her eyes come back kind of the the vibrancy returning to them in fact
everything sort of lifts in the area um and she falls down kind of sucking in
her breath
oran immediately is running to baldric
okay as he's like and he kind of like does like as he reaches the baldric has does his
like kind of power slide in a way and then immediately casts uh a heal from his staff
on baldric
let me get a nice little roll going
not powerful but
baldric you get healed for 17.
get up
and he's like are you okay mr baldric
yeah i'm i'm here where was the well where'd they go
it's like they've they seem to have disappeared i think we got him mr baldric
oh
great all right and baldrick's gonna stand up
arnold jada system and as he begins to kind of walk over to the tree to assemble with
everyone
you don't need to actually assist him because baldrick has bounced back which means i don't
increment my wounded for my first time exiting dying
oh hell yeah
i mean it's kind of worthless now because there's nothing to attack so you know whatever
don't even worry about it
uh
yeah
so he'll go over
his orn uh comes all right he sees his mom is now still there right
oh yeah
he immediately rushes up to her checking on her and everything goes like he's like it's
like mom mom and he uh just like begins to check on her he looks for signs of of the
rod like see if it's still affecting her in some way
um
there there appears to be none of it instead you you see the the sort of serene uh visage
of astrid who looks around her eyes blinking um it clearly drained but some vitality returning
to her she looks over all of you but then her eyes focus orin on you
orin orin
mom you
you have come
why why would you do this thing
well it's it's a long story but but but but here are my friends we've we've come over
because
he kind of balls up his eyes a little bit as water begins to feel up
oh
and he he's like
it
well he he's he's struggling for words he doesn't know where to start really
i
orin
why did you do this
i mean come back
no
why did you attack the spirits they were protecting me
well they were trying to kill my friends and and they're here to help us
you were i was i was holding it in me to prevent it from spreading
you can't do that mom you can't you shouldn't sacrifice yourself that way
what about dad and the rest of the village and everything like
and there's also the dragon that has to be the source of it all
it is everywhere
i was protecting our people
oh orin and she like puts her hand on your cheek
oh my boy
you are so kind
you couldn't have known
but
now it will spread more from that beast
and like as this is said the rest of you notice like the ground almost seems to be darkening as she speaks
uh
you
orin
she was holding it back
he doesn't pay attention at all
and he kind of
goes closer to his mom and try and like hugs her and stuff he's like i'm sorry i didn't know i
did
but but we're here to help though like i i made friends when i was away and
and and
and we've been able to fight this so far and
it's like we can fix it
like you always go through this
but like this is like you never know
like a weapon
like you're gonna get a life
like a weapon
like a weapon
like a weapon
like a weapon
like a weapon
like a weapon
like a weapon
like a weapon
i don't know
like you're not really asking for anything
this land days weeks months it matters not it is everywhere i was doing what i could
to hold it back hoping the old powers would return to us
the old powers are sealed away and we are here to unbind them one of the keys lies with
the dragon we are here to defeat it but your enchantments were powerful and oren in his
love for you willed us not to destroy you we had thought you corrupted by the rot your
husband knew not where you were or otherwise would not share but now you are unbound from
now you are unbound from
your sacrifice this plague is unbound and should you not wish to see your entire land swallowed
by rot-infested sludge you must aid us in our quest to slay the rot-infested dragon
i have held it in me it has weakened me greatly i will need long time to recover
but if you were strong enough to defeat the guardians perhaps you can oppose
that which has consumed our mountain's protector
you've done all you can but it is not the dragon that is the source of this
what is
yes
yes
yes
it is
she pauses
it is at the summit of the mountain
our place of binding
where two spirits are bound as one
that is the place that was corrupted
orin knows it well
she like smiles kind of weakly
it's where he formed his
bond with his greatest friend
at the mention of that uh gorgamonger
kyle walks up and and obviously knowing his presence orin uh winces a bit and he's like
i i saved him i found him mom
oh my boy
oh my boy
oh my boy
oh my boy
oh my boy
oh my boy
oh my boy
oh my boy
oh my boy i see now what you have done
i see now what you have done
oh my boy i see now what you have done and you know what you must do
and you know what you must do
and you know what you must do his lips he his bottom lip quivers a bit
his lips he his bottom lip quivers a bit
his lips he his bottom lip quivers a bit as he kind of
as he kind of
as he kind of looks away in shame and just kind of shakes
looks away in shame and just kind of shakes
looks away in shame and just kind of shakes his head but
his head but
his head but but but i saved him like he's he's here
but but i saved him like he's he's here
but but but i saved him like he's he's here now and
but but i saved him like he's he's here now and
He still looks away, you know, not wanting to continue because he, deep inside, he knows he's wrong.
But at the same time, he's justifying, using everything he can to justify of why he kept Gorgomon here.
There's kind of like an exhalation.
The dragon seeks to spread the corruption.
Its old name is forgotten.
The rot has taken it from us.
The dragon guards the summit.
You must bring...
And she looks away from you, Oren, to the rest of the group.
You must bring my child there.
We will.
Can you do this for me?
If that's where we have to go, then we're going to do it.
Whatever it takes.
We'll get it done.
Okay.
I will stay here for a while, and then I will return to the village.
I will be of no use to you in my state now.
Here, if you need somewhere comfortable to stay for the evening, we can get you a cabin real quick.
We need to rest.
I would appreciate it.
At least a day.
Your guardians were powerful, and your enchantments took much of it out of us.
Yeah, were they supposed to eat my heart like that?
The fault lies, I think, in large part with me.
I was so single-mindedly preparing myself to face the dragon,
I did not imagine that we could fight foes of that variety.
It's not your fault, Tani.
Yes.
They were made to disable foes, to stymie them, to ward them off.
Yeah, I feel pretty warded.
We're all tired.
I'll get the cabin up.
At least stay with us, Mom.
At least.
at least for this night
of course
I need rest
the only way I could travel back to the village
on my own now would be if I had
a climbing kit
laughter
laughter
laughter
hopefully you have one
it would be very convenient
it'd be sick as hell if it had a grappling hook too
that's awesome
his broken grappling hook
in his hand
all the twine
spooled out and broken
the aperture's all fucked up
yeah that'd be
that'd be pretty sick
right now wouldn't it
and then he'll put it in his backpack
laughing
oh buddy
I was really fighting to like not change
the tone at all because
I was like as soon as you're like
we're going into a cabin
I'm like alright this is where
it can
fucking change the tone
would someone mention the cabin
I had to really fight down
for me going like
yeah you can stay in the cabin
but be careful it's haunted
laughing
laughing
it would be like the best
it'd be such a good interaction
it'd just be ghost picturing
constantly talking and your mom
is the most polite person ever so she's
just nodding and smiling
it's like one of those perpetual motion
missions
laughing
correct
alright um
let's find somewhere a little less
rotten to put this up yeah
yes I agree
Rahua a moment
sure Tannhauser
Tannhauser is going to
take Rahua just aside a bit
out of earshot of Oren
just lean in just say
I need you to let me know
examine Oren's
mother we need to know if she's a lost
cause if she is rot infested as
as Picton once was
we may need to prepare ourselves and
that boy for the worst this journey is
going to take much out of him
I have of the same mind as you Tannhauser
having seen someone so vibrant and kind
taken perverted
by this Ur-cancer that it was
plight as Picton I will
sigh
I've not erred in what I said that I would do whatever it took
to save this world and purge it
but
and Rahua will look back over at Oren
I don't think anything
will prepare him for what comes next if that is the case
but I will not let him do what he has to do if that is the case
but I will not let him do what he has to do if that is the case
and I will pray
that the winds of chaos blow fair
that we don't resort to that
is young you are the youngest of us
but you have the benefit of being
hardened by cosmic knowledge
Oren in many ways
is still a boy
you will be hardened and grow stronger
from this
but only if we are there to protect you from this
but only if we are there to protect you from this
but only if we are there to protect you from this
we will never leave him again
nobody
we left behind here
not even him
if it comes to it he may have to be the one
to deal the parting blow
I get the feeling
in my gut and in my bones
if you have anything particularly compelling to say to Gorgomunga
if you have anything particularly compelling to say to Gorgomunga
if you have anything particularly compelling to say to Gorgomunga
I would consider doing it before we climb that summit.
You know, here we are, after so long on this road.
And I don't know if ever once we've heard anything from him besides an affirmation or a rejection.
It's hard to make heads and tails of what he says.
Thurston, I speak dinosaur.
I love the oscillation here.
Excellent.
This is great.
Yes, you do.
Will dinosaur give me any sort of perhaps passing knowledge linguistically of Quirkamonger's wear over all of our journeys?
There's something along those lines.
That's so racist.
No, dragons and dinosaurs are two very distinct groups.
No, but it's like...
It's like...
It's like you speak Spanish and Italian.
They're both romance language.
You know?
So you can kind of understand one if you only know the other.
It's like it's not perfect, but you get...
Like if, you know, a Spanish speaker didn't speak any Italian, but heard an Italian guy speak,
he wouldn't know everything, but he'd get the gist of what the guy was trying to say.
How deep are graves?
Speaker...
Speaker...
Yeah?
Have you...
Genuine question.
I'm not going to assume shit.
I'm not going to assume shit here.
I don't know.
Do you know how to speak Italian?
Have you taken Italian lessons?
I've taken...
I'm not a fluent Italian speaker.
I know a few words, a few phrases.
Okay.
Like...
I'm assuming you know more Spanish than you do Italian.
No, I think I know more Italian than I know...
No.
Well, I did fail several Spanish courses in high school.
Okay.
Okay.
I've got an English degree, but I'm not especially talented.
I'm learning other languages.
I mean, same, and also same.
But I will say, as someone who knows both languages,
not particularly fluent of Italian,
yeah, there's some, like, there's some homological structures in the language.
But...
But no.
They've got the same root words.
Yes and no.
There are definitely some false cognitions between the two.
Speaker, speaker, those are two languages based on the same root.
And you are trying to say that dinosaurs and dragons definitely have the same root.
Well, this is actually...
Fundamentally, you've fallen into my spider's trap now,
because now I get to ask Thurston with some authority,
which came first in the world of Tide?
Dinosaurs or dragons?
Okay, you fucker.
I knew you were building to that.
I knew...
I knew as a narrative person, you were, like, waiting,
sitting there with the Uno reverse card of,
ah, but this is a...
Fictional make-believe world,
and so the rules could be different here to suit my fucking reality.
All right, all right, all right.
You know what?
There's only one fair way to sort this.
There's only one fair way to sort this.
Make him take 100 damage.
Say the word, Thurston.
Say the word.
Tell me what to do.
Mm-hmm.
Zoran, make a poll.
Um...
Uh, do...
Do you have any mods in chat?
A poll?
Yeah, yeah, make a poll.
Jers, make a poll.
Which came first?
That's right, Jers!
That's right!
Get on your pants, wielder!
Wake up, Jers!
Yeah, wake up, Jers.
No matter which way this vote goes,
the democratic principles that are being on display here,
I'm quite proud of, and I salute you.
I appreciate Easy yelling at Jers to get on it,
though they share the same mod badge.
Stares at Easy.
But also, Easy is in my good books,
because he suggested casting the cuck cage again,
and I was like,
Ooh, you're going to the bad place, Easy.
Doesn't Easy do enough?
Yeah, that's true.
Easy does a lot.
We all appreciate Easy here.
We love Easy.
We love Easy.
Easy, put Googly Eyes on Baldrick.
I'm so tired.
Come on, now.
Well, I think, uh,
now that the poll gets made,
I think now's a good time for a break.
All right.
So, you spend the night in Picture and Cozy Cabin.
All of you, uh, there, there is no,
there is no Spirit of Picture and Squelch for tonight.
Instead, it is a, um, mostly somber, quiet affair.
Um, much of it is Oryn's mother, Astrid, who, uh,
asks so many questions about your journey, Oryn,
and what's happened.
He's telling her the whole shebang.
What happened that night when Gorgomonger got abducted,
abducted.
How he tracked them down, how he tried his best to track them down,
to save them, you know, journeyed all across the sea,
made his way to Outset, ate some people, and then got thrown in prison.
Then found all these goobers and have been going on an adventure and stuff.
He tries, he tries to leave out, actually, I would like to roll this,
uh, roll a deception.
Unhibit number in your head, in terms of if he can hide of like,
and I died.
And he tries not to.
I'm going to emphasize it, if you can probably tell,
I'm going to get a plus-4 of the deception.
Seven, plus-4 of 11, so you can take it or leave it there.
Uh, so he basically, you know, he tries like,
like, uh, and, and, and he continues on, but he,
he's praising every single one of his friends.
Like he's saying that Veena has become, uh, has grown into an excellent leader,
has really, you know, grown, like, has basically grown,
grown into be an amazing captain and, uh, leader in a sort,
in a certain way.
sorceress or or swordswoman i don't know how to is it sword stress or just sword whatever
swordswoman yeah i don't know the right term um there's just how much vena has come along in her
journey rahula even though he is new to this world has been just a font of just enjoyments
seeing him grow along long and being able to show him basically this world all the good and the bad
of it and having pretty much his mentality and everything else just be able to enhance the group
in so many ways and protect them and not to mention seeing just some someone and something
that is so unique and interesting to or into where he's greatly appreciated who is a friend
tan houses all the trials and tribulations he's gone through you know seeing him you know finally
having his revolution in two ways in one uh in trying to believe and
in such passion about his rhetoric uh to be able to do so sorry i'm just going to gloss you guys
for a sec and who has basically been consistent in his drive to pretty much destroy his targets
to bring down the tyrant's guild and as much as he feels reluctant to basically go go for things
he has been a stalwart companion to his friends always being there regardless of his grumbling
uh you know even to the much of instead of kicking everyone out of his home he begrudgingly yelled at
them instead but demon is already they knew that like knew that he likes them probably you guess
he has no idea but regardless or and always hopes that he can find happiness at the end of his
journey you know to finally get the satisfaction and finally to get uh finally get to where he
he has been aiming for this entire time because he
believes that uh baldric himself has gone through so much trouble in his life and that's one thing
he always hopes for him is you know that he eventually finds happiness in his life and
so that's why he kind of goes through he explains gorgomonger a bit all what happened everything else
and and picturing squelchfoot everybody else and so he goes through the whole shebang and he goes
like and yeah and and now we arrived here because all the old powers have been well they've been
captured
and we you know we fought a very you know angry lady and very angry fire guy and and now we've
been going to place to place trying to find these basically just fonts and memories and things of
power and and basically we got brought here mom
oh well you've you've accomplished so much
say and she kind of is just like nodding and looks over at everyone else and you've helped look after my boy and for that i'm eternally grateful i can't do much but perhaps i could prepare a little meal
um
if you find yourself capable of that you've just undergone a tremendously
uh
she walks outside of the hut and begins digging in the dirt removing worms
he's been making mom's cooking oh actually that's really cute oh
i never make it as good as you mom but but he kind of like claps excitedly
yeah and then she like totally casts create food which turns it into this beautiful feast
oh she blinked 100 100 she takes worms and and like dirt and like create food and then it just
turns into like this like beautiful feast with like venison and and fine like spirits and
everything else i don't have a hero point but i must
you know i don't have a hero point but i must
you know i don't have a hero point but i must
you know i don't have a hero point but i must i must ask for this to be a narrative
i must ask for this to be a narrative
i must ask for this to be a narrative declaration oran for all his life has
declaration oran for all his life has
declaration oran for all his life has never known how she's done this
never known how she's done this
never known how she's done this she always thinks she's like so good
she always thinks she's like so good
she always thinks she's like so good but cook that she can do it instantly
but cook that she can do it instantly
but cook that she can do it instantly he never knew there's a spell for it so
he never knew there's a spell for it so
he never knew there's a spell for it so he always thinks like i don't know how
he always thinks like i don't know how
you do it always mom thank you and he might eat yeah oh my god it's like literally like someone
who like perfectly cooks a steak versus like doesn't cook a steak except one step further
because the end product here is just so fucking much different oh that was a hell of a comparison
i gotta say thurston i like that it's like a person who cooks a steak versus a person who
doesn't cook a steak yes like i'm sorry i just i like i like that image i like that image is like
ah well you know i cooked this steak oh but i didn't here you go
or feeding us the druid equivalent of a raw steak
a steak down this is good news we can be bees
Baldrick will you can be a bee. Yeah, you'll live for 30 years
You could be a pet
Or in this time time trying to cook us a beautiful feast
Yeah
Change the virtue in the helps make the food
Orin think he has been doing like a
He's just like yeah, that's what I've been doing assholes. Oh my god
Oops, I never could quite get the he swallows his food
But I've always tried my best
I'm grateful to have food
Ming I'm going to
I'll walk up to Orin's
Court
Killed and I'm gonna reach into my pocket pull out a scroll. You should really write your recipe down
Okay
You can add create food as a second level spell in your spell book tan hazard
Yay!
I
Was tired of cooking all the time
Thurston I want to inquire
Can you make
can you make
Orin the only the only practitioner in time of the
Create dirt and worm spell that requires food as a reagent
Beautiful!
Done!
Thanks beautiful
Lovely lovely
As Orin has answered you
Yeah so she brings out this beautiful feast for all of you
Feast town down again
Yeah Avina's gonna be just kind of nibbling idly over at it and she's gonna sidle over to Baldrick and just
You doing okay?
No
I am not
that's why I'm in the open
I did it
Yes
Well you know what
I'm gonna be honest
I think I
I'm not that good
I'm not very good at fighting
I'm not good at fighting
I'm not gonna be able to move
Yeah
I'm no good
I'm not gonna be able to?
Yeah
I'm not gonna be able to know what's going on
I think you're gonna be here
I'm gonna have fun
Alright
Sorry
I'm not sure
Okay
I'll take a bow
Why?
Because илиn's back
He's gone
of them but uh yeah i couldn't see it past the fog and stuff got a little worried i didn't die
so you got that
that's good it's uh
not a feeling i'd wish on someone else i can imagine
and she kind of nods pats him on the shoulder felt good for a moment or two
to not have to do anything
well
like i said after all of this is over hopefully you can get to not do anything
without dying
i'm gonna say in the meantime we've got a lot of to do
i was gonna say came pretty close to not having to do anything
came very very close
but i didn't and i'm back again you should probably focus on eating something vena since
you actually have the opportunity to eat food instead of you know dirt and worms to help soak
up alcohol
true you think we should have taken that the sponsorship no it's an abomination
death is supposed to happen and we're not gods we get one life to do what we need to do
if they wanted to put the gods already put their finger on the scales for us to get this far
now it's up to us to prove that we were worth that at the time and now that we're better than that
we're better than that
we're better than that
we're better than that
we're better than that
we're better than that
she kind of nods
yeah glad you feel that way even after getting close it's uh
you know it's just a feeling i've got itching in the back of my head when things start getting
dire especially when we've got to deal with that dragon and whatever the hell comes next
and uh
beyond that exactly what's gonna happen at the top of that mountain
tanny made his sacrifice i made mine
pretty sure we know what's gonna happen with orin he's keeping that low so that
orin doesn't have to like rehash that feeling he's just smack him
he's enjoying the noise
everyone's got to make a choice
incidentally i've been getting it this far without drawing too much attention to it
i can't see
what
you can't around the time i went down
and hit the dirt
i saw me
I saw my vision fade. It hasn't come back.
Oh, shit, you need to tell Rahua, or Oryn,
once he's finished stuffing his face.
That's... shit.
I'm a little too tired right now, and again,
not having to engage with it is as much relaxation as I'm gonna get.
I'll deal with it in the morning.
Alright. You promised me you're gonna, or else I'm calling him for you.
What am I going to do? Am I going to...
Listen, I'd rather see it coming.
I'm not about to sit here in the dark and just wait for it to happen.
Fair enough.
I just also know you're not the type who likes to ask for help.
Dina.
I want to see. I just don't want to do it right now.
Fair enough.
You, uh, get some rest, then.
I imagine that, um, Oryn's gonna need a lot of support
the further we get up that mountain.
He looks up to you, you know.
I'm aware.
I think he's right, too.
I think you all have opinions of me that I could debate, but it's not my place to, I guess.
I'm just here to uphold that...
I'm here to sit on top of that pedestal you guys like to put me on.
You can argue with me all you want, Baldrick, but I'm pretty persuasive.
Baldrick is gonna, like, tilt his head towards her.
I can think of many situations in which you were not.
That's my argument.
I would say touche, but come on now.
Trying to be nice to you?
You clonk his helmet a couple of times.
Hey, you pick on blind people often?
Shit, come on.
Go to sleep.
Yeah, may as well.
It's late.
You guys enjoy the food.
I've had all I need to.
At least I assume that I ate the food and not the candle.
Well, if it tasted like food and not a candle.
I have no idea.
Granted, we're pretty used to eating worms.
Yeah, that was gonna be my point.
Right.
And Baldrick is gonna get up and very carefully maneuver over to the area that he has claimed as his bed.
Yeah.
I'm just...
I'm sorry.
I'm just taking the oars.
It's like, oh, Mr. Baldrick, here's some of your stuff I found on the ground when you were gone.
And he, like, throws it at you, but it's just hits you on the head.
You just can't get it to get into your head.
Yeah, his helmet's gonna rattle and he's gonna, like, stumble, but not pay it any mind and just
accept it as people throwing things at him and he's just gonna go to bed.
Based.
Oh, well, I guess he didn't need it.
Good night, Mr. Baldrick.
Night.
Okay, that's Mr. Baldrick, mom.
I wanted to put something out.
Chat, we did already try inflicting damage and then reverting the damage.
We did that with Tugbert, Veena.
That didn't work.
But what if we try it again?
You don't get to rip my eyes out and then heal me.
No, you just have to say that you're a minion.
Aww.
He has to say that he's a minion and then blow him up.
Rahua, I still have all of my bombs on me.
I will blow up and I will take you with me.
No, you won't.
My main goal.
Nuh-uh.
I got a bunch of dice.
I got a bunch of dice.
I've got a bunch of dice to throw at you.
Look at it this way.
If Rahua does that to you and everything else, at least Tannhauser has the spell to delay his
consequences, so at least he can survive.
That's true.
He'll survive for a few moments while...
And then the next turn comes and Rahua just explodes into splinters.
Yeah.
Oh, he'll be okay.
He'll buy you a round so he can cast Remove Affliction, or Cleanse Affliction,
to remove the blindness right before you explode.
Yeah.
Anyway, yeah, Baldrick heads to bed.
All right.
The rest of you continue on having a night of tales and sharing of stories and delicious
food with Oren's mother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, as you all then prepare for the day to come and the opportunity
to go fight a dragon, and that is where we are going to call today's episode.
Yippee!
Yippee!
Yay!
True.
