Through the fog-wall in a submerged church, Gorgamonger is waiting — rot-corrupted, breathing cold, the white dragon Oren has been chasing all season. A scroll saved since session two gets cracked open. Resist cold goes up in silence. Tannhauser ruins the moment asking about elemental allergies mid-eulogy.

think of what would be the one but uh we added a new emote uh made by skelly bean and she uh has
a little tanhauser holding up a sign that says rise up i would put revolution in it but that's too

the chat i've added a lot of new spell effects and things still trying to get the sound effects right
so if there's a big you know i'm doing my best but i think i got most of the sounds either muted or
fixed or something so please forgive me if something goes wrong but thurston yes we've delayed long
it off what adventure do you have for us today well a long time ago there was a church wait wait
what who brought snacks speaker is that speaker yeah because i was i want someone pointed this out
speaker did not update his microphone but his chair definitely did get louder
yeah hold on hold on hold on that can't that can't possibly be true
i like this okay squeaker d snacks and you're like why are you talking
this can't possibly be true oh god it's a blumble voice
anyway uh last we left off etc i like i like that it's odo who's like let me bring some
semblance of words yeah i'm trying it out what i want to happen is that you're doing the recap
just speakers just loudly eating chips
for your information i was eating some delicious harry bow gummy bears
what i want to have happen if thurston's like oh yeah and you've gone to here and you're going to
try and get down the dragon the speakers in the back just going
bro yeah true that is true oh man let me just let me just grab a couple more just just
i love how angry chat is just a little bit the fuck man like elkron's having a stroke over here
like damn it's speaker yeah just like reduce the sensitivity of touch brother i can hear every
gear and springing yeah i noticed that my my my keeps fucking nuts
oh my god are we better now are we in a better world i don't know move your chair around dude
what about now i need to like yell or else it'll cut me off you gotta get trained in the ways of
push to talk at some point i guess that's physically impossible the story is so far
go on oh god okay go ahead oh god i was gonna say once there was a church but i kind of was like once
there was a chair and that chair needed oil um no all right so once long ago there was a church
many many hundreds of years ago this church sprung up in an area that was left by civilization it was
it was left to be claimed by nature left to be claimed by the detritus of war and invasions
and a group came and they built a humble stone edifice and this stone edifice rose up with the
the work and hands of countless people who believed in in a religion a new religion one that espoused a
house the first house of divinity on the world of time and these people worked day in and day out
to construct this this edifice within the swamp where they hoped they could bring the word of their
house to all of the people of the swamp and like everything in the solitude surrounding the city of
outset
the swamp claimed it though the structure remains foliage has encroached on it the upper levels of the walls
have collapsed even the great bell once a a sonorous device that could be heard for miles crashed and
became home to little more than swamp of vermin those vermin created by a hulky crow you should check out that pdf
this structure has remained though it is broken and shattered much like the thing that dwells inside of it now
and as we begin we begin where we left off in our last session with our destined band of chuckle fucks and one
eager halfling traveling into this church and the structure is is an immense um stone edifice with
an ascending set of stairs that lead into a large open area where you can see the bell that has collapsed
many many years ago and the great stone or great wooden doors that still remain
barred and a set of stairs with a a misty foggy gate on them
and as we left our prior session and as we come into this one
oren oren you are making your way towards this to towards this set of stairs leading down further into the structure
what are you doing
i look back at everyone
oren looks back at everyone
i still want to go through this
i mean i can
you don't have to fight them
i'm gonna put a hand on oren's shoulder
we're here with you bud we'll see it through the end all right
honorable nod
be like and you know i'll look around everyone be like
thank you volley thank you everyone
i asked that if words comes to shove just just don't hold back it's okay
victor hefts his bagpipes and joins up
baltrix is checking his equipment he comes over
yeah much has been nice to try and talk our way through this one i don't think we
we think we all know that's not how this ends
one way or the other
we will see this through oren no matter what it takes
there is no need for thanks oren
we are a cohort our swords shine as one and we shall always be here by your side hell or high water
and we'll nod
you'll turn towards the uh giant fog wall in front
and we'll do it he'll just have a shaky side
just like okay and then he will step through
before i step through just very quickly i'd like to cast haste on myself
i'm like here's poor zora and the bear like emotional moment i'm gonna step through here we go thurston's adjusting the walls and everything and you're like actually guys i'm gonna
real quick if you don't mind
now now that all now that he's been the book
yeah that's my job i'm supposed to undercut emotional moments by not by being aloof
not being aloof i just want to be fast
there's no fault in that although it's uh well he's buffing
you know or we'll then turn around and they're like oh hey oh that's a good point there tenhouser
oh it takes out mossy scroll
i figured we would have a moment on the stairs and then like figure that out but i guess we'll do it now
you know i don't know man total whiplash i'm like dark souls i know how this goes also be sure you're
doing the show players thing you're doing the different thing there thurston no i'm that that's
show players no yeah okay that's it's really odd they've changed this because they let you have like
multiple things i know it's it's actually still a different way to do it it actually shows the thing
instead but i'll see you later okay oh i think i see how it is yeah yeah i got you all right so
he cast he's casting haste i guess and i'm getting my bossy weapon well um i'm going to
um very you know quickly for no apparent reason as you're all doing this i will describe
a scene just give me a moment but i uh i need all of you to um
roll me perception for initiative please and set yourselves here i'll even do it for you oh i'm
gonna put y'all into combat mode that's cool uh how about y'all uh roll initiative yeah that's
a fancy new thing while we're on the stairs as well uh good initiative
rahul will actually reach over while we're getting set up for whatever is coming next
uh put a hand on volley's shoulder not even just not even looking at her as this ethereal cloud of
cosmic energy kind of swirls around her then turns to like this crystalline armor just vaguely around
her shape before disappearing uh and i'm going to cast sanctuary oh i'm gonna i'm gonna dispense with
my remaining uh quicksilver mutagens and give one to ten hauser and volley uh all right
all right all right one one one one one sec i'm i'm i'm stepping in now at this point because
because you're doing a lot here all right first of all well i i did i did but then you sort of
walked down and started things so excuse me a moment here as i take take control again um haste
that was the first thing that was declared that is correct do you want to put the haste spell in uh
i would love to put the haste spell here beautiful i love it this is great okay cool haste yay okay
who are you uh who are you casting it on yourself oh i will uh graciously cast it on me and mia
cool bang okay you are casting uh sanctuary my my good friend um rahua you were casting that on volley
correct correct correct correct okay that does not have a thing so i'll just have to keep that in
mind um then mossy weapon you were using that scroll or in on where uh i've actually had chat vote on
who's gonna get the mossy weapon thing i had a poll going while we were doing stuff and volley
so oren will turn to volley and say like volley i just for looking at gorgamonger it looks like he's
it's probably affected with the same thing that we have
i'm very confident that this will help and he'll show the scroll to volley and be like please show me
your weapon please i'll well it'll it'll kill him faster yeah i'm gonna hold out the the rapier to
him good uh i will not click use mossy weapon because that'll destroy the thing you have here um
but i will i will click this and hope it works so chat can kind of see some of the stuff um pretty much
to explain what this is just for podcast folks and stuff this is the scroll that we got on like episode
two yes correct well this is it this is we've saved it up you know that you adventure and stuff
oh man i'll say this also bodrick needs to heal the full if he needs if he needs to do anything
right he took a mutagen okay and basically what it raises casting spell from scroll cast scroll
just see where your description is pretty much it's just mossy the weapon in which mossy stuff does not
like rot so you'll do extra damage so they're safe if you want to figure that out for volley's weapon
oh yeah i will i got you if if it's weak to you know that thing and i'm confirming uh you know
who knows uh baldrick i'm confirming you're taking the the quicksilver right i'm giving that to volley
and tanhauser oh okay oh okay well then i can't make use of it i don't have dexterity based attacks
well then are both of you going to quaff that knowing the uh the drawback is is you uh
take some you take some you take some penalties um remind me of the penalty again it's lower max
hp yeah uh lower max hp so damage equal to twice your level you can't recover hip that those hit
points um as long as the mutagen lasts and you take a minus two penalty on fortitude saves in exchange
you get a plus bonus on acrobatic stealth checks reflex saves and dexterity based attack rolls and a 10
foot uh movement speed increase lowering my fortitude save sounds like a cruising for a bruising but
i think the uh the good effects are better on me anyway so i'll i'll i'll take a chug okay okay i'll
kick off one does thirsty i got it um yeah yellow okay
oh nice diegetic soundtrack of someone drinking something perfect sound effect i didn't even have
to click a button yeah that's what i was thinking of honestly good prop bro good prop good prop
so i'll just apply the hit point damage to both of you
um cool and then i believe with all of those buffs done uh or and you were you were stepping down the
stairs correct um i presume this would have been discussed beforehand has orin ever made mention
as to what element his dragon friend breathed oh no you want to ask hey this is i know this is a
really hard time for you right now yes yeah i i know you're you're dealing with a lot and yeah
be insensitive but just tears streaming down just yeah what what what element did your uh you did
gorgamonga uh breathe out um just for just just no reason i just want to know uh well it means white
dragon and there'd be there'd be there'd be cold magic and stuff and yeah that's that's that's that's
great i just that's why i will remember him uh i'm gonna cast resist energy cold sure whatever works it
works
yeah i love i love our total whiplash all the time like oh lord it's okay it's like oh by the way how
did i kill your friend yeah by the way uh did your friend have any allergies we are sitting in the other
room reading a newspaper like no no no no no what are the stocks like today bro i love undercutting
emotional moments i'm so good at it
all right so at this point or are you taking a foot step forward uh did you apply bossy weapon to
someone or uh it's it's it won't apply because it's a custom thing but i know it for when i apply okay
okay okay as long as long as that's good then i'm good to go um okay yes i i will take the leap
and step forward several things happen at once as you take a step forward um passing roughly through
the the fog wall at the base of the stairs you are confronted with a figure that stands or sits
somewhat in the in the center of a vast circular chamber um the stone here is elevated and you can see
that there are all manner of plants and foliage that have sort of crawled in from the outside of the
swamp into this room there are brilliant um white somewhat blue tinged flowers that rise along this
foliage as well um the rain seeps in through the exposed and broken roof here however the the most notable
thing is at the center of this um of this circular large chamber is someone you know a vast vast
draconic being that does not quite look like you last remembered poor gorg monger but you now see this
draconic being in the room its jaw lower jaw has been ripped off its wings are somewhat tattered
if only one seems to even even be possibly useful tears along its skin and scales reveal interior you
know muscle mass you can also see moving along it is all manner of black icarus matter that seems to go
in and out and along where the wings are broken the telltale signs of the rot and as you step past and
see this the fog dissipates all around this room and as it does the first thing i need all of you to do
because boy howdy we're in a dragon fight is i need all of you to give me
a will save oh boy all right oh 19 oren roll to 33 natural 20 13 okay i got a 20. okay okay so allow me to
to go through in order oh oh sorry i should also have our boy good old good old picture squelchfoot
it that's a really big star that rolls a rolls it rolls a 17. all right so um i suppose the first
one that i will uh go with is uh volley you were the lowest with a 13 is that correct yeah cool you
critically fail would you like to be beneficial yes i like how okay
i like the bit of gulp uh please go ahead of just like i just told you result and now you're gonna
hear about it nope okay not much better at all yeah um is that still a crit fail
the fuck why is there a debuff on this who the fuck you probably put fear on it
i put fear on it by accident you know that's not the thing it's super scurry no it's not um okay so
so a 15 okay well that will just be a failure volley okay apply that to you um pick turn will also
fail poor little pick turn baldrick will also fail i will explain exactly what this is tanhauser will
critically succeed with that nat 20 oran will critically succeed with that uh 33 on the dice
and then rahua will fail with a 19. so for those i have now uh marked up here you are frightened too
uh as you see this vast monstrous draconic entity step up it lets out this almost like
keening sobbing half sound as it begins to rise and um oran you are at the top of the initiative
order my friend what would you like to do oran would uh the mechanics of me he's like kill it
kill it kill it so it's something so let's go from no one go but oran would like to um first
god make a decision what's not gonna get me killed all right oran will reach oran will kind of raise
his voice and go gorgamonger all right i found you buddy he'll get a little bit closer i can't move
there you go move just a a tad bit closer kind of like his hands are out kind of low just trying to
approach up to him i'll do move the first action and as he's walking forward it's like
gorgamonger and i would like to make a perception check see how he's responding to my presence
and stuff and can i can i ask for a i've known gorgamonger all his life or nearly all his life bonus
yeah i'll give you i'll give you a plus four on this as you essentially use uh perception to
sense motive on gorgamonger
okay yes
20. did that add that it did uh
that did that did not add it no so it'd be 30. yeah it'd be 30. um okay you can tell that there is a
spark of recognition but almost as as though when that recognition happens you see like oily black
rot tumors go and bubble over the eye and then pull back to give it almost a blank stare as this uh as
this draconic entity that you realize now is no longer your friend looks at you
or orrin will nod uh after affirming that it's he's far from gone and look back at all of his friends
and it's like
we'll have to put him down and with his final uh if you allow me i have one action left i will
scram just all the way back up the stairs sure and i would like to uh
wait wait that's this area is high up so if you're planning on going up here yeah yeah i'll have to fly
regardless um are you going to fly up there uh if i don't have the movement speed for it so
over so you just go to the base there yeah uh what are these pillars up here are they just
completely so those are like yeah those pillars go up about like 20 feet and then there's there's
area that leads out however you can see that around the circular edge of this there is a thin
veil of fog and you've seen this type of fog before um when you have encountered other
threatening creatures okay he's going to uh he's going to back up uh to here
okay and uh if it's if it's rays he'll flap up there and he'll yell to everyone saying like
like don't grip up make sure he can't catch you all at once or else he'll bros will breathe frost
on you all and that will be the end of his turn i have no uh there we go all right tanhauser you are up
all right then tanhauser is going to unsheathe his excoriate urge and utilizing the hyper optimized
dimensional interlays within his quantum engine he is going to go zipped over here which he can
with his face movement uh i will take a reaction to that absolutely i will hit you with his tail
very good so as you come rushing forward at an immense speed that the crackling tail of this thing
whips out towards you uh mark you as my target and then see if this will
and that will critically hit you um with a uh 33 um so you will be smashed in the chest by by this hit
oh for 34 points of damage how much 34 okay i'm almost dead there's the tail impacts and imp like
crushes in your chest cavity as you rush up to it huh huh well that that hurts it does oh the fence is
key now i think what is utterly fantastic about this scenario is all four of us can
probably not do much of anything so tanhauser is just over here one be winning this thing
mama is playing dark souls okay
i hope you remember to equip rivers where's solar we need maybe the summoning signs inside the bell
someone check the bell
well then that was your move action tanny all right that was my move action time to rock up with a true
strike yep and i'm going to make an attack i'm going to spell strike level three shocking grasp
yes absolutely and so let's rock
rock man oh you're a piece of shit yeah
you do have a hero point now chat give you one i also have a true strike whatever podcast
when they miss now there's a big x-com miss that sometimes happen if it's if it's but i do have a
hero voice we were just told to hold on to them now now tech tech technically you can't utilize
multiple fortune effects i'm the same but if you want to use that hero point now tannhauser you go for
it i'll i'll allow it i i committed my third my only third level uh i believe you used haste as your
other third level not your only oh you're right sympathy points here so true bestie i just took
half my hp with a reaction i'm not gonna get it for nothing oh god i hope you i hope you have like
uh a you know an alternate path prepared for when we eventually eat on this boss
no wait do i have a potency rune did you learn to buy one no okay all right all right fine let's
let's let's let's uh let's let my hubris uh take control we need to know how much this guy can take
all right do it oh my god okay that's the time all right that was that was tannhauser's hero points
spent nice now the real battle now i'll take him off and now i'll take him off invisibility in the
initiative order so you can't metagame when he was going and uh now uh now uh gorgamunker's gonna go
and um you know
go ahead and i'll take him off to you know let's move up to i think there up to the base of the stairs
he plods past you uh tannhauser taking large oh wait don't i get a reaction uh do you have attack of
opportunities yeah i sure do sweet yeah if you have it you may you may take it all right yeah can
this be a spell strike no it has to be our old melee well he's farming where the crib has come from
i'm so happy and you rolled one on both your things
oh my brother in christ excuse me excuse me plus one from laughing shadow
oh come on come on he needs to have that five damage negated possibly by armor okay okay
you remember thurston let's see it remember the last time we had a boss fight here we go again
reason yeah oh fuck did you damage him i didn't even see a change one sec let me uh let me uh
let me zoom in on the help there we go i've applied oh you suck there we go cool oh
can we even beat this no hold on i'm getting close to my let's see yeah cool i'll zoom in
to the health bar there is a tiny little change i don't i don't think this encounter is gonna go so
good would you like me to heal him so you can see what the difference is just so chat no we can
see no no we can see don't fuck yourself thurston how about that
if i can and gorgamonger would have died on that story
so
that was gorgamonger taking a move action okay
okay okay yeah now i'm just gonna do a thing here just because i'm just gonna drop uh drop this
little thing here i'm just gonna start turning this little template i have
uh center i wanted to not be bunched up but we didn't have a chance to because someone leapt
through the fucking gate and um i'm gonna have everyone in the the the the party submission position
here um give me a reflex save as like save gorgamonger's rears its top jaw back and unleashes a blast of
black liquid that spews over all of you this is and i need him to make a uh wisdom saving throw
actually because of sanctuary um and would that apply to all of us since he would have to attack
everybody into let me double check the wording on sanctuary real quick here because i think it just
is uh creatures attempting to attack um huh i guess i'll do the will save we'll see how his will save is
it's a dc on your will um check it's 10 plus your will save there 10 plus my will save 22.
so he would not be permitted to attack take that action
hmm
all right then it means he doesn't have it for next turn but
i'm shutting up he still has to do it again i'm shutting up um huh interesting interesting
the creature can't attack the target and waste the action it can't attempt further attacks against
the target this turn so volley cannot be yeah uh you know what though uh could you mark me down a
villain point yeah this is where i get a critical one this is you've got three of the motherfuckers
let's get them out now since we just lost one of the hubris the hubris
all right it it fucking unleashes a torrent uh or at least it goes to unleash a torrent and then
pauses as this absolute um anarchic energy bursts out from from volley who is also still
really scared and this this energy causes the gorgamonger to recoil back its head rearing as you can
see the bubbling rot in its throat pull back and it recoils with a egg um and then yeah loses those
two actions so that will be uh gorgamonger scope baldrick good play good play good play
it's getting props what do i do what does frightened to stop me from doing a frightened
two is just a penalty so all it is is it's basically a penalty on almost all your checks
and it goes down at the end of your turn okay in that case i'm going to move away from everyone now
mm-hmm because i figured that was coming 20 about there so
down down down down down thank you a little unresponsive uh i am going to target the dragon
yes and i am going to quick draw and throw a fire bomb not this fire modern do it uh
okay this should be fine bombs away to inform chat saying oh reaction you can only do one reaction
per round you can't just keep doing reactions yeah that would be a little that would mean that
we would not get to attack at all we would die now what did you roll erindel i rolled a 28 which
means that's a hit that's courtesy the item bonus apparently because that's highlighted in green
which means i just barely hit that well you're also minus two penalty because you're frightened
because it's a scary fucking dragon that's not very good because i rolled an 18 on the die
thurston which means my chance to hit is very low mm-hmm it is anyway i'm gonna blow up okay
uh deals 14 fire damage and yeah persistent and the four from the splash because of the special effects
so there you go
we're gonna be here in a while
the fire burns on gorker bunker and it like begins to crisp up scales and its head goes
like as it like royals and cries out and black rot moves over it um and it's on fire
let me think because that was not a lot even with the like a reasonably good roll of 14 that was not a lot
i mean it looks like you heard it a fair amount with that
thurston i'm going to move over here to this little spot up here the door yeah okay
beside the door there yeah can i free action open the door uh no it's a required action it's
it's a move back no okay then i'm going to take cover behind the door then yeah cool
four or please respond there you go yeah just do the drag don't do the arrow key because you're
i can't i can't adequately do the drag when i'm measuring yeah i mean it measures for you
all right is that it for bonnick rahua you're up all right i am going to take my league
we're gonna just just outside of his radius just kind of fucking get away from him i don't want to be
there fan out
um if i may rahua my friend my companion
see zoran was correct about one reaction round but it's had its round so now it does refill its reaction
so it's uh it's gonna gonna smack you with that tail my friend as you try to rush past it
um it will it will just hit you
um and i'll do
uh and yeah you take 22 on the run past it as like again this tail whips around smashes you uh you
feel like your wooden frame compress around the anarchic ball of entropy that is your actual essence
we need to not go near him man it hurts yes here you go lights uh here's the sound of wood splintering
and just shouts out stop going near him if it's possible um healing my robotic metal ass would
probably be a decent idea because if i go down i lose two really powerful buffs please heal him please
heal him we're working on it i appreciate the the speaker look i don't want to sound like you gotta
save me but you gotta save me i don't want to lose my rate buffs anyone else here got a ace buff no okay
i'll tell you what i'm going to do for you tanhouser i'm going to make you an offer that you cannot
refuse that most offers that you make for me i cannot refuse very true uh i'm gonna look at you
i'm gonna just thinking back to what you just did running up to him all cool i'm sorry teleporting up
and then getting immediately bodied i'm gonna reach out to you to tanhouser grip my spindly wooden
metal-esque fingers and just grab his threads of fate as i'm going to cast spirit link and due to reach
spell i can actually touch him um question for you is spirit link oh i lied never mind i'm not
fucking doing that it's two actions yeah yeah you want you could move back to where you were and
probably still get him that's fine i want both the healers to go down in one turn so yes i'll do
exactly that i mean i don't i'm not worried about it attacking rahua because you guys haven't
attacked it yet it's coming after me or pick turn because pick turn is very edible it's okay i have a plan i have a plan
i always like when you have plans they're so fun no tanhouser please don't get bodied again
because then i will also get bodied true my best comrade all right all right all right i believe
that brings us to volley yeah we are and look at how much help i've already done just on it's so
good it's um fun volley you're up my friend oh sisters
uh i'm going to uh i'm going to i'm not going to tumble through because it has been shown that
that tail strike will whip ass he spent his reaction already so he can't do that okay
i don't want to be on the other side around everyone yeah yeah your side there is actually
pretty good yeah right here so you can tumble through and go right back you don't have to go
past and go in then back out this is true um however yeah i'm not trusting i'm not trusting
that i can get the flat-footed so i'm just going to do the acrobatics okay and because i am almost
certain i can do that uh not sure ollie i believe in you
ah 18 for just the acrobatics um let let's let me remind myself what the assumed dc for for just
doing it for you know shits and giggles is because it's been a while you know i forget if it's 50 or
20 i'm pretty sure it's actually 20 but you know um you know i'm just i'm just checking for you um
you know boy i'm sure glad to be getting these bad rolls out up front yeah right um early death
um bye okay okay okay okay um so yeah in order to get panache though you you typically do have to like
do the tumble through action so oh okay yeah you can't just like there are certain ones you can do
like i think for you uh you can do like deception yeah as one yeah so so in this case um no not quite
you're you're still very scared of this durgan too that's another problem that is an issue um how smart
does he look
did you just ask me
oh boy um yeah you know only only volley would look at a dragon that's been corrupted by the rot and
then start asking about his gpa because i believe with my second action i will go ahead and attempt to
faint okay yep yeah absolutely uh and just see if that beats his save uh okay there we go now it's
letting me target it yeah absolutely okay not bad that's a 25. um and that is opposed by i think it's will dc yes
which will be enough ah panache now watch me not one this don't don't wait wait let me uh let me
let me put the panache on oh wow it's it definitely was not letting me do it give me give me one sec i
think because we we changed stuff up i can grab it real quick oh dearie me i got i got you i got
you don't worry um wait there's an animation for it now one sec please tell me my my token does a backflip
okay you just yeah you're actually super saiyan right now i'll zoom in i'll zoom in
you want to do me a favor you want to take panache off and put it back on yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
everybody get ready podcast listeners you just have to watch buckler further beyond
i'm swashbuckling all right i'm gonna hit this guy with a finisher
stop girl bossing so hard i could make so many comments about spell animations right now but i won't
make your attack please i sure will brother all right uh let's go
okay not bad that is a that will just it i love that it's like you're frightened like i just everyone
listening like i need you to understand there's like the things that are going on there's like
all of ali's buffs then frightened but then there's the quicksilver mutagen also the target's flat
footed like and all of that equaled just hits oh baby all right disarm him uh yeah disarm him i'm
going to roll damage okay oh yeah and the dragon's on fire this too uh that's did you apply the finisher
there oh did i not think so i guess i was assuming you were finishing if it's a checkmark thing or
character sheet i've noticed yeah do you want to just roll it do you want to just re i i'm okay if
you want to just re-roll it remember on our side we're getting snags here but it's been a while we've
updated foundry so yeah there's been some changes oh there we go that's a lot more dice which netted the
exact same dice result beautiful oh wait mossy oh don't worry there is mossy i'm going to count the
mossy yes um one sec i can't wait for the extra six damage no no no there you go
well you stab with this is perfect strike and this thing lets out as as you strike an impact with
your blade the the area of rot around it begins to recoil and very briefly there is this shining white
scale that you then pierce and damage oh okay um i still actually have one more action don't i thank you
uh moved no you moved you fainted and then you stabbed yes i got one more quicksilver doesn't
give you yeah it doesn't give you that's tasty yes yes yes okay the moss damage chat don't worry
then uh that's my turn baby let's go all right all right uh oh sorry yeah i suppose i should
actually move the okay this brings us to stinky no it brings us to pick turn squelch foot now pick turn is
gonna do something very important you see you know what picture is gonna do what he's gonna start playing
his bagpipes because play us out pick turn
um all right and uh yeah he begins playing i'm i'm just going to delete this thing real quick here
one sec because if i don't uh delete this uh this macro for me it's gonna cause problems uh and he begins
he begins he begins playing uh uh his bagpipes you know you hear you hear the melodic and it kind of
like goes in a weird a weird like harmony with the whales of this draconic entity and then pick turn
backs the fuck up behind here um and the bagpipes begin playing i am going to one sec oh god how do i do this
there we go i think this will work all of you are now inspired you are all inspired by a pick turn
as he uh begins playing his bagpipes and cowering behind the uh the bell uh yeah and this brings us
back to orin yeah and remember uh you don't have to right click some of the buffs now it should
automatically go i yeah exactly no no it does all the the stuff and things i would like dear thurston
yes to do to do a thing and it'll involve a narrative declaration okay you allow it
i'm going to tell me what it is i'm getting there dramatic flare come on
so i'm going to summon an animal okay and it's going to be gorgamonger's favorite treat
and hoping to invoke his his old memories where he will go after it instead of us
okay yeah sure absolutely absolutely and go and orrin will come up will come up like like gorgamonger
remember look it's it's just me or i brought your favorite treat and he will summon animal
far away uh for him to be distracted enough and i will cast there's a cool thing about he's able to
do i just want to show it off he will do it uh could you measure 30 feet away from me it's a 30
feet spell yeah sure i'm assuming you want to go like this way yeah a little bit right there right
there like there like yeah it's gonna be like it's it's gonna be like a big bear so yeah he summons
he summons a giant black bear you have to accept it there you go i did i did that guy yeah so with
all of that just like here look whoosh and a giant black bear comes in and roars loudly at this thing
and gorgamonger loved hunting these things down in the vajal mountains and so he's like like look
it's it's your favorite bear it's your favorite snack i always love burning the hair off of these
and that's that's awful wow that's really fucked up this is the goss queen music box moment
zoran is showing off his masochism yes and uh and so that's that takes all three of my actions but now
it's the bear's turn i want the bear to um i i get control of the step lock cool uh the bear i would
like for the bear to spend most of his actions like trying to intimidate to like like and like
maybe like some performance like laying down like he's a turkey dinner like all this other stuff you
know enticing gorgamonger to not uh go after my friends um let me bring myself down a hero point
oh my god i'm bullshitting hard here
oh bloop all right and i want the first thing i want the black bear to do is uh try to demoralize gorg
um so that'll be a uh intimidation check but i don't think he doesn't uh he does not have
intimidation on this thing okay okay okay okay so one one sec though one sec because i i need to like
i i need to be clear because you use the um you use the narrative declaration right yes and like i'm
i'm i'm willing to to go uh go a little way here um so you're you use the narrative declaration
to to summon forth this bear with the specific intent if i am you know correct here with the
specific intent of summoning a bear that's going to be appetizing right that's that's the play yeah
okay okay one sec one sec here uh okay okay well um give me a moment and i think
what we can do is probably have this happen just give me one sec here um okay so
yeah i will allow you to um actually i'm just gonna upgrade your bear and i'm because because
you narratively declared i'm gonna give your bear a special score and performance
yeah because you narratively declared i'm gonna add this i'm gonna update and give you performance
and then um then then yeah that way you can you know have your your bear do do tricks and stuff
right that sound that sound legit yeah i was also hoping to like you know put the status element of
demoralize on him too with intimidation make them all burning and stuff but if he doesn't have it he
doesn't have it we'll do performance i'll allow this i love the dichotomy here i'm summoning a bear
that will entice gronger monger to eat it but i also want the bear to scare him i'm going to summon
a tv dinner with a scary face on it i want him to be careful trying to eat them you know a tv dinner with a
loaded gun it's like you still want to eat like if you're like a like hunting animal so you want
to eat the badger but you know the badger's gonna bite the hell out of you i would rather have the
bear maul him have you ever been in a situation to where you go to a restaurant the waiter pulls
out this beautiful steak and you look at it you're salivating and then you go
he's performing he's a performing bear all right can i perform to the bar yeah yeah of course just
target target monger it doesn't work that way but um this would be that versus his will
he's not demoralized all that forgot that that's all of his actions i'm gonna be able to have him
take he's just gonna stand there uh and that's the that's the end of my turn okay uh tannhauser
i'm not gonna sugarcoat it uh true strike spell strike okay son you are dying go to rahua
rahua can't heal me if i go to rahua then he's gonna fire his laser and get three of us
i've attacked him with grenades it depends on what thurston chooses to target here but actually it
makes more sense for me to come here that way i can flat foot him you uh you actually want to be
there oh here okay because with volley you flat foot with volley there oh there you go there you go
well now he's flat footed okay yeah okay i got you all right once again i actually get bonuses
for uh attacking people who are flat-footed um increase extra damage to five that's nice all right
good to know let's rock hit it
one two three you hit it that's a hit i get my other i guess just in case it's higher
from uh true strike right um is that how it works let me reread the spell off the top of my head
yeah this is a plus three you only use plus three for a crit get it yeah um did you have it memorized
twice okay yeah i have it okay uh the next time you make an attack roll before the end of your turn
roll the attack twice and use the better result ah okay yes yeah it's like uh the indies advantage
i'll use the better result the 33 absolutely yes so that will hit it we're gonna do the damage from this
okay we're gonna do the damage from this i believe okay oh my okay take the first one okay yeah i got
you okay plus one right plus five because he's flat-footed oh gotcha gotcha gotcha okay and now
now it is time i activate my internal uh quantum engines and we're going to light this fella up
shocking grasp very 33 damage nice that's pretty good very very good okay so that happens as that all
occurs there is like a a keening whale that comes out from gorgamunker's head begins to
thrash back and forth and bubbling rot begins to spill out from its missing lower jaw and as this occurs
there is
other keening sounds in the area that begin to boil up um and you begin to hear them
uh both to the southwest and northwest of your position tan hauser as suddenly as you do that
um behind this sort of raised um raised stonework of what is clearly like elevated balconies that would
look over this area you see figures take shape um figures you have seen before the horrific
not dragon entities that you fought at the bottom of the uh the perfectite cube two of them seem to
royal up from behind these raised areas almost in like sycophant sycophantic like connection with
gorgamunker's pain um and uh yeah that's that's what you see as this occurs so question gang
do we want to retreat how are you how are you feeling about this because we are not doing any damage
to this guy and now there's minions i really love that you're metagaming based off of the like
whatever number i put in the hp bar to with you
i gotta i gotta believe that's that's our only
chad hauser you always made me believe that we can do anything with the revolution
yeah man we totally can don't we can do it chad hauser don't abandon my dream i came across
the entire world for this don't abandon me now mr chad hauser
i want to i want to draw i assure you tannhauser is always suicidally confident
real quick i am not i want to draw attention real quick to what thurston just did it's like
oh i'm so i think it's really amusing when you guys fall for my tricks
let's just hit the dragon and see where it takes us
oh that big health bar i gave it that's just totally a trick guys and i'm sitting here like thurston
yes stop it why i don't i don't believe you okay what if i vote hear me out
what if the minions are tied to his health bar being so
ass reaming that may be the case that may be that may be the case
if we kill one of them and nothing happens we hit the bricks or alternatively and this is
what baldrick is probably thinking right now uh orin is not going to get a happy ending to his
story where he gets to free his friend and instead we run away because we can't do this
how much you like orin
the dragon gets to go now so yeah yeah go with the dragon let's uh let's uh move up adjacent to the bear
uh let's attack of opportunity for townhouser uh yeah actually actually sorry i'm gonna put the bear
on a proper square yeah yeah um yeah tannos rick to take an attack of opportunity on the track huh
like take this yeah yeah yeah oh god i love that you're hitting on these like off these off attacks
very good hey hey hey that's an 11 because plus five because he was flat-footed when he started moving
wait thurston i have one too do you get attack of opportunity did you take a thing that gave it to you
yes okay then you may take an attack thank you thurston you're welcome i oh sorry i need to do
four more i'll add four more to folly's damage because to count for your thank you i know if folly
hits i mean that's the no i do not i saw the 20 there wait no that would be flat-footed technically
because if you don't at the start of it so that would hit yeah that would still no and she missed by
four though not by two no there's a regular that the dc was 26 so a flat foot that would be no no no
no because last time i hit he was flat-footed and i hit on a 20 on a 20. the math the math here is
correct it's just he's missing yes um it's just she's she's missed by four so i miss okay but i will i
will okay my bad my bad there we go i applied the extra page apologize
all right cool um and then i'm going to attack the bear oh dinner bear we're in it now sacrificial bear go
this is orton plays yukio his deck is entirely bear cards they all have
that that will crit the bear oh that sucks that's great yeah and recharge his breath weapon great
thank you oh i put it in there too i love that so we know orgamonger's bear number is at least one
that's uh how much hp does it have it has 32 hp and it's dead i hate you i hate you you rolled max on
that twice i'm gonna just just do that and then um the bear is max on those fucking damage dice twice
i'm gonna slap you it's gonna remove the the token um we can we can keep the little party hat in the
square just as a reminder as it like comes stomping forward um drops down like like just absolutely
annihilates the bear with this just like rip and tear of its upper teeth just like coming down and
discapored discapating discapating dismembering every like dis word as it like shunts this summoned
entity out of existence um it worked i think he liked it well now he's got to eat it it's his
favorite and then he's gonna move to there it's his favorite treat to eat it's incorporeal you goober
uh and then it'll take fire you think you think a real bear would be so willing to do that shit for
you fuck no you'll have the clinkets recovery check i i i the problem is is because of all the effects it
actually is pausing sometimes so it just takes a sec for me to load it yeah of course and then i will
i hate you that is that is three times you have rolled the max you are my two my two my two damage
it's very good i'm having a lot of fun i hope you are baldrick you're up uh baldrick is gonna open
this door okay it's locked never mind oh sorry you can open it now my apologies you can open it click
click that takes an action i know it does okay and then you see on the platform before this stupid
fucking thing showed up then you see this thing it is um it is the again the exact same thing that
you fought at the uh at the base of the cube um i believe i called it yeah exactly here we'll just
use this one i believe we just entitled it oh no um this like mass of rot and dragon parts that's
standing there uh baldrick is furious that he has once again been like disallowed to do something
tactical so i'm going to throw a bunch of bombs at this thing okay uh he is going to quick draw one
alchemist fire on the target here we go rolling that is a 14 with a hit i will explode it
that's a pretty good bit of damage there you yeah you with the maximum damage there
excuse me you did 46 damage yes i don't want to hear it i did do 46 damage
get the hell out of my way this is my perch i'll apply the persistent um that was your
that was your second action correct i'm going to get like my moans out its aura of sadness
podrick does not give a single one okay that'll also hit okay he has had enough with this with
this nonsense today i will blast it for another 15 and four uh yeah so
15 and then four you have like this thing is bombed it's burning it's like crisp half of it's
like decomposed and sloughed off and melting you just the rest of the party just hears like a cry
of exasperation and irritation and baldrick's monotone voice followed in short order by several
explosions sounds like baldrick uh that's that's a ball game for me i'm gonna let let rahua do his
fun now all right rahua you're up oh wow this looks super fucking bad hey uh hey oran i i don't mean to
make any assumptions of your judgment here but i think we should not be right here right now
uh i agree but i also have to help tannhauser here you can uh if you believe in your defenses you
could try you know keeping it keep going worker bunker busy you see he's fumbling with bones and
various like leaves and grubs to throw at tannhauser to heal later yes rahua keep him busy like that bear did
i'm gonna keep it real with you chief i don't really know if i can take that but i'll do my best
rip for the bear remember going here it will strike at you if you do and just just trying to
fumble things and berries and stuff what are you doing rahua my my brother there's some quick
questions because there's no quick he's always ever confusing cleric font heal is that a one action
uh no no no um like you're you're wanting to use the spell heal or well if i i mean for my cleric
font yes oh yeah no no no that's just an extra cast so we cast like a spell okay yeah yeah that's
fine then i i'm confident with my next course of action okay so who is gonna not target himself today
but he's gonna move 25 feet 20 feet i lied okay it was 20 feet sorry 25 feet i'm being a bit generous
myself you're good you're good yeah tannhauser i'm gonna i'm gonna help you out a little bit here just
i'm gonna use my cleric funds just heal him up just a little bit sure half one med kit noise yeah
med kit not med station get it right oh well you know try to just roll a heal for that because i'm
trying to find my actual uh just cast the spell yeah just i think if you click the spell it'll yeah
healing there you go and i will uh one sec there we go um yeah but you were doing the
uh the two action or were you doing the one action one action oh okay so yeah you'll you'll
and what level were you doing were you doing first level or uh yeah first level because i need to use my
last action
okay uh so you will heal him for eight
oh don't spend all that in one place tannhauser yeah thanks fam he heals one rupture yes
i like the creaking of the chair does make it sound like tannhauser's body probably is right
now that is correct and i'm gonna use my last action to manifest my soulforged armaments
okay cool so you want to describe what that looks like for the audience absolutely it's been a hot
minute since i've done this and actually have it matter um yeah so you're using your font that that
is max level so if you're using your font spell you would actually cast it as a third level spell oh
oh you probably maybe wanna you know add like 2d8 more to that you know just no i think he's i think
he can do he's fine he's fine that's fine he's fine oh it's pb damage three there you go you get four
more again don't spend it all in one place yeah but rahua will uh stand there trying to be as brave
as he can against this horrible nightmare that is before him uh as similar to volley when sanctuary
was cast uh this ethereal cosmic i want to describe it as a vapor it looks kind of like a starfield just
kind of manifests around him as what was once gas becomes this crystalline barrier uh
almost ethereal in nature like looking at space itself made physical as he gains this
armor on top of his already bulky frame so he's really just like a dreadnought of
wood metal and space time and then he's also got a shield it's like most of his arm at this point
okay all right um then uh i believe if you passed off it will go to volley
oh boy all right let's see here um try to remind everyone that his birth attack is available yes i am aware
uh i'm going to uh i'm going to not be in the path of that please and thank you uh quick
storm mutagen gives me plus 10 movement speed correct yeah so that was i i'm moving 50 feet i'm good i'm
pretty quick all right i'm gonna pitter patter on over here i believe is a decent place cool
um and then i am going to let's see i'm gonna attempt another feint see if i can't get him a little
bamboozled boozle him i'm boozling him i'm boozling oh i'm boozling it ah i saw you're not boozling him i'm not
we're not boozling at all oh boy uh well no panache for me that's fine um uh in that case i'm just gonna
hit him might as well that's all i got in the tank i got one thing such is life so it goes all right um
um actually wait i actually have a thing yeah this is what i'm gonna do this is what i'm gonna do
all right uh now that nobody's in the line i'm going to line up a shot with the luminous all right
now that's two action two action two actions never mind never mind i'm gonna hit him
you can also take this turn to drink rum uh i could take this turn to drink rum and i'm not gonna
blast you will miss ouch god he's hard to hit um all right guys if you would have put it him you
would have hit him so yeah thurston that would have been really nice yeah like all you have to do to
beat this guy is roll tens and have be tactical like god i'm gonna kill you i'm putting my thumb i'm
gonna make you fight a real dragon in real life we'll see how smug you are then i'm going to make you cook
a real bear okay uh yeah that's that's my turn we're getting the revenant in this oh okay cool all
right um we'll bring us to the dragon the good old dragon parts over here which will begin to um like
roll down um it will how can i put this um you see um from from the north area where these like
this draconic creature is it begins to roil down um like coming sliding off the edge in front of you
or and um it's more of a massive rot with bits of rot in it rather than or it's a massive rot with
bits of dragon in it rather than like the parts of your dragon it comes in front of you
and then it moves again
and then it moves right beside gorg monger and then it ends its action
big turn squilch it's gonna go um pick turns very concerned about current situations that are
transpiring and i need to check his spell this little bit everybody's kind of far away from pick
turn so we can't quite easily help because he's gotta sustain his uh it's gotta sustain his
his uh bag pop so he's gonna walk up there he's gonna uh once again just re-inspire everybody
whoosh and uh keep the bag pop times going uh so you all get your bonus from him and then
that uh then he'll cast shield on himself for this turn
okay cool um and that
will be the end of round two and i am going to say how about we take our break here everybody
so we can all take a breather and then uh come back to round three of this fight right
we'll be fine yeah all right we got this we will be right back everyone don't go anywhere
whoopadoo dragon dragon and we're suffering now we're back and we're gonna die who'd have thought
that killing orange friends could be this much fun
that's what gorgamonger is saying to us right now i also need everyone to understand that when
we came into this season none of this was scripted and then zord's like i'm gonna go look out and look
up for my dragon and to tell and i sat down i was like all right fuck up you want to have a dragon
story let's do a dragon story and here we are you are so wicked never ending story dark edition that's
right but we start at the beginning of round three everybody where the dragon parts uh part two the
one in front of baldrick gets to go and much like the other one baldrick you watches this rather than
confronting you this flaming mass of draconic parts slithers over the side of the the railing
that's by you and begins to make its way right beside gorgamonger get back here you piece of
shit um and that is it's three actions to get beside gorgamonger and does it still stay on fire let's
find out it's gonna take two fire damage uh for some reason this takes a while to show the animation
of the fire so that's why i haven't rolled the recovery yet i will in like two seconds when the
fire animation plays there we go and then i will roll my recovery i'll roll another draw recovery that's
so good i'm having so much fun with this game oh you know put the safety on thirst and some goddamn
loaded dice first thing i'm going to put i'm going to let you know this now now that you have taken away
baldrick's target of irritation there is only one thing closer no no that is what i was going to
say the closest like wait wait that's the plan let's take the game master's favorite npc and put
a gun to his head like you don't you don't nerf this dragon right now picture gets it i don't know
if that's how that works what the fuck we will murder this literally is the reason you've hit
so many attacks with his buff you fucking monsters anyways orin we've hit him for a collected amount
of pinochle you first have done nothing he looks really messed up you guys
okay that is what i'm saying all right
i was going to try to tango foot them because i imagine if they get close to him bad stuff happens
but they move like mach 7 so there's no chance for us to do anything
big lumber and they had to go over terrain and all this other stuff like you know whatever all
right so unless of course your reach is like 15 feet extra just one very long tanhouser arm
just all the way out there just like he's there i'm within 30 feet of tanhouser i'm going to spend
two actions to spend a uh first level oh no second level here i'll just make sure that he's back up
i'm gonna basically target tanhouser and i'm going to cast heal oh this will be a trash and heal
versus you i am now healing and i should go oh there it goes and it does a cool little effect she's
like oh you're now healed for 24 healing the tanhouser that's a lot of healing first click the button
there we are there you go tanhouser bam you're right back up and
for my let me see uh if who was right by me i would have also done healing but i'm going to
i want to spend my movement to get closer and get ready for battlefield medicine but i know that's
going to be a bad idea yeah um if i really if i tried hard damage output with this thing i would
be carrying a ranged weapon which i probably should think of in the future because my last action doing
stuff um so i'm going to spend my last action uh just try to diversify the movement i'm going to
pitter patter 25 feet over to the right it'll be closer to the thing but just so this thing doesn't
exactly breath weapon us easily because if he positions it a certain way you can get us all
i'm going to move up to the north um out of his attack of opportunity range and hopefully out of the
range of the minions that they do anything because we understood they did the aoe thing before
and that will be the end of orange turn that's two actions for the heel and his last action is moving
up preparation what's coming next i love when you all get tactical it's great you're up you're up all
right it's time my tenazer is going to once again break out into a sprint okay come here yep and uh we're
gonna see if i can potentially silence this wrought creature i'll gather up my blade and i'm going to
get ready for a spell strike okay um and so uh let's fucking rock
i hit i do all right 23. yes so am i flat-footed is it flat-footed against me uh no it's not you're
not in a position to flat footer but you hit him enough all right so that's seven and then we will
put a shocking grasp uh my level two shocking grasp yeah that's pretty damn good that's a 12 10 and
unfortunately a one but that's like 24 tall yeah we take those he is not looking good at all like
this thing is like like literally you've you've you've electrocuted out the draconic parts of this
mass that has been roiling and clawing its way towards gorgamonger so now it is just this this
puddle of black icarus tumorous matter with tiny little scales and bits coming out as though they're
trying to move towards gorgamonger um but but it is still just standing still yourself and if i can ask
doesn't happen to have any metal on it like say from an exploded bomb my bottles are glass
worth a shot right all right yeah you were you were reaching i would have narrative i would have
made you make a narrative declaration yeah yeah yeah i see what you're trying to do there kid
all right all right all right well that's the end of the turn uh you have um quick and bright
you can still attack yeah no no i have another action yeah uh in that case what can i do
uh with one action um try to attack it and take down yeah i'm gonna i'm going to look at it realize
that it's not quite gone and i am instead just going to activate uh more from my internal quantum
engine there's going to be a large blast of anti-time ripping from my arm i'm going to cast force
which i don't need to roll for i don't need to roll to hit for it just automatically does damage
sweet and you roll max on your stuff nice yeah this pile driver of anti-time just
and then deletes whatever in its path and as it deletes you see the mass of a rot like basically
dissolve on the ground in front of this thing sort of melting into the stonework and around the the
flowers and the foliage here uh just moments before it reaches gorgamonger
okay all right that's the turn all right well i believe that brings me back to
to my durgan my durgan a dargon is a stronger form of a dragon a durgan my gorgadurgan all right so
gorgadurgan's gonna go and with gorgamonger's first action it is going to make a will save
21 21. what is the spell dc i believe this is the believe believe your spell dc
is 22. isn't that right rahua that is correct i'm gonna spend another villain point to reroll that
no
it's a second to three
ah fuck ah it's okay it's okay now you're allowed to make the attack i i am now allowed
to make the attack in which i will uh produce a a lovely cone effect which i'm just gonna
drop it it'll be center it's at the center of the token um oh is it yeah yeah yeah you have to
put in the center of the token because it'll do on max so oh yeah i'm just no no no no no no
somebody put the there you go that's what it's been for yeah and then i can i don't know if i can
have it selected directly there we go uh it's gonna like blast out this this wave of rot um the
the black ichor finally comes up and spews both over ten hauser and volley both of you see this
coming both of you have mere moments to react as this comes out i require both of you to give me
reflex saves you got it which is not a bad save for both of you yeah we're pretty speedy yeah
juice is helping all right juice
23. oh no you got a natural one you can't rewrite are you kidding me oh
oh i do it save i am uh i'm gonna i'm gonna gonna bring something up here right now um i'm gonna read
i'm gonna i'm gonna read i'm gonna read this ability breath weapon the dragon breathes a rotten
cloud that deals 8d6 damage cone um so in the case of tan hauser you will uh you've you've failed the
save so you're just going to take um regular damage here so you're gonna take the um the 23 damage from
this is it cold it is not it is rot damage uh volley you however are going to take double damage
now i'm going to keep reading here a target who critically fails this save increases its rotten condition
by one
it increases the condition by one
well it was nice knowing you guys uh so volley you are absolutely covered in this black icarus mass
that seeps into your skin and covers you tinting you causing you to gag and just have the absolute
worst worst reaction as all of your skin even just begins to to kind of constrict
um i want to also point out that before this session i was like i was talking to to tell it's like
what happens if folly rules the one and i'm like nah odo will have a hero point in reserve
that wouldn't possibly happen above the odds of that
you don't have a hero point and even if you did roll a one you wouldn't be able to reveal it because
of our rules i was i was actually what i was expecting to happen was you would roll a fail and
then be like no i can do better and then get the natural one um in the case of a in effect as
debilitating as this um i'm also going to apply a complication to you because you know that wouldn't
be it would be not fair to our fans if i didn't you know all those those patrons who back us really
this is patreon.com forward slash the declaration where you too can mess this up yeah even advertising
even more um what the oh no that's that's a that's a non-combat save i can't use that one um
hurry up and melt polly let's get the complication i'm getting melted here
you're you're uh rotten three now at this point right i'm rotten three so if i die i think i'm done
ski yeah if you die if you die no not if i die if i go down i'm done yes uh no if if you uh yeah
yeah no no that's correct yeah you're right don't don't get knocked out you're the equivalent of wounded
yeah you you are you are currently left for dead survivor final hit yes um
oh okay um well
oh okay okay okay okay okay okay so i'm going to use this one which i think is perfectly appropriate
here um so i'm going to use this one from uh good old gc rust a classic supporter of us uh this one's
entitled the carapace of faith
you are emboldened by the protection of your deity craud adamus i'm gonna end it all and so
i'm going to say by this is you believe you know that despite what has happened
craud adamus will protect you so whatever actions you take in the future folly you will not run away or
seek cover because craud adamus will protect you oh you mother son of a bitch oh i missed you guys it
was so great getting back together also thirst and driving his pins into his voodoo dolls of valley
let's hang in there guys the dragon is so close to being done we've only been at this for two hours
we're here for another castle gm it's gonna be a long episode we are on it like a bonnet
i should we retreat wait wait wait wait wait wait i'm not done yet that was two actions
continue please please please do go on um it will spend an action how is that spray one action you
piece it's two actions oh okay yeah it hasn't moved from where it is you both assumed the template
i was just thinking that was like two two actions it cost me two actions to send someone an email
with my spell with this to quote speaker okay sweaty you're like i did like 40 damage like this thing
breathes on you and does half of the damage you did go fuck it here here i'm using my next action
first and we are about to lose a party member i said i was wrong i thought i didn't realize you can
you can tell after it unleashes this spew of rot it's it's like form is lessened slightly so it's
going to use its last action to conveniently take advantage of an ability that allows it to siphon off
bits of the other dragon and heal itself a little bit fight me oh i mean at least it wasn't a full heal
oh actually uh yeah no that's right okay cool cool cool cool cool cool um and and that is uh that is
that is its action yes that that that i think will be sufficient as my whole thing is now oh god
it's it's it's frozen oh there we go okay uh that will be the the end of our um dragon friend and it
will bring us over to baldrick which sorry my window is dying and exploding so give me a sec here
too many effects uh yeah i think the effects have just killed uh so keep me one sec yeah yeah it's uh
make sure you have harder acceleration i i definitely do it's just i've got a lot of other things going
on with it too so i think it's just that okay cool uh okay baldrick yeah uh thurston
yes this little circle that we're in is there a roof no no no there there is no ceiling to this place
how the hell did no one see this anyway they've seen this no it's not like this place has been
hidden you found it pretty easily too we are the dark souls protags we get to walk through the fog wall
thinking thinking thinking thinking i have nothing i could do like i'm in a i'm in a horrible position
because i wanted to get an advantage position now he's all the way on the other side of the
fucking map you can uh uh you can move twice and then fire bomb my problem is like i need to use
at least two to have an appreciable effect otherwise i'm doing chip yeah
i get close you've been you've been doing some good damage to it like you've been messing this thing
up if you've got some moss bombs i struggle to recognize that thurston we i feel like the health
bar tells a very different story yeah it does but you shouldn't go off the health bar all the time
that would be that would be metagaming um earned you gotta get you gotta get close i know i know
my problem is if i get close i'm incentivizing another breath attack it can't use its breath weapon
immediately until you get another crit yeah uh flippin hell
baldrick or you can throw three bombs at pick
baldrick is listen erndil is not considering running away baldrick definitely is absolutely
uh
uh
shit
i just did not do enough damage
do i have to make a climb action to get down here or can i drop down
uh you can just you can drop down as part of a move it's not appreciable enough to make you take
falling damage okay i wanted to make sure of that yeah oh it automatically does that now thank god for
that yeah nope it collides with the wall i can't go there over here i'll just
there we go uh
i don't want to incentivize
this blows i got nothing i can do
i'll go over here okay and that's still going to be entirely too far away so i'll just take a penalty
i guess yeah i'm still throwing yeah i know i can always just throw
i throw
like it's too far away yeah that's fine grenade out
that'll hit nice nice yeah give me give me john dimaggio please blowing it up
okay dealing 17 damage four and he's on fire again okay i will do that and splash the other one
please okay i will in just two secs sorry it's losing me from the game so i'm just
i'm game master now gorgamonger dies delete no wow okay okay okay zora and the bear you may kill
your dragon that's fine that's the point you know okay uh so that will do some team oh i'm gonna
i'm gonna throw this out here by the way for the chat uh i'm well aware i could make moss bombs
here's the problem i have used all of my infused reagents to make 15 alchemist fire moderates because
even with the bonus damage on the moss bomb they still do more damage
even with like 10 bonus it's not enough to outdo it
also i have none left so all right rahua you're up all right uh who is going to take this opportunity
to see his teammate nearly fucking die again and for real yes for real this time uh who is going to
target volley please let me target volley thank you and i'm gonna cast my one of my last third level
slots third level heal as a two action okay we are going to use this by eight so it'll be a total of
four d8 plus one positive um well it's a two action so you actually get um you actually get more than that
because it's the two so i think you just get the plus eight at range right so if you're doing the
two for heal so you get in this case yeah you get plus eight and then um you actually yeah you just heal
eight but then you would heal eight for each so you don't even roll dice at this point so it's just eight
times three yeah yeah so she gets 24 back there you go volly little question you still have an action
left rahua ah oh i've been tossing up whether i need to move in or just to ready my shield in hopes that
comes out and comes out and it's probably not gonna target
let's see
to get closer
it is a nightmare
stir up the brister
i'm gonna move 20 feet that way
go try and draw some and hopefully just put myself in line of sight
okay make make oran an enticing uh breath weapon aoe target as well
i mean let me in that sincerely do that oh boy
um well volley is uh feeling very emboldened right now so i'm going to ready a shot with the
dagger pistol and i'm going to use the two action uh line shot through gorgamunger and his friend
there okay uh they are going to need to make for me oh damn it i have to open an inventory not in
actions uh they need to make me a dc21 reflex save
i'll take half on both though so you can still
all right
so uh 5d6 yes 5d6
oh oh oh my hell that's where this program's cursed
all right so that was two actions yeah i'm gonna use my third action to
oh boy remember you can't cower behind cover you can still like pull back a bit but you can't cower
because craudatomus protects
um
oh christ what are my actions here
um um um um i'm going to uh
to a flip do you have a medical item
was the time bolly
i beg you please let me i do have potions okay please heal yeah uh i have minor ones do we have
access to the people's loot right about now okay yeah i keep telling you you have to decide where
it's going you you assume that everyone has access to this share everyone yeah everyone has access to
exactly what they need at a given time right we already you have a lesser please i'll take the lesser
i'll take the lesser okay okay never mind just forget it that's 2d8 i assume 2d8 plus five yes
okay oh my gosh why are you rolling an air nills but trying to ask you a thing
no don't worry about it i was just trying to say like the people's loot we divvied up the potions
already oh yeah there's nothing left in there there there was a lesser in there but i think it just
hadn't been so we'll assume it's on volley here you go have nine back volley thanks
you're welcome that's my turn so uh the durgan part's gonna go
it's gonna spend three actions to uh give a bit more hit points away
oh god and uh then it's gonna stand there awkwardly now pick turn squilch what's coming out
pick turn is gonna move to there
and do the bard move do the bard move is gonna move i know he's gonna do there what do you think
he's gonna do well is you're either gonna do the bard move that pulls her back or you're just gonna
cast it well i can't cast sue the shoes too far away it's 30 feet so he has to cast magic missile and
damage volley because picture yeah he's gonna come heel turn squelch foot he's uh he he he's actually
he's at you're actually like too far away for him to heal so he's just gonna come come rushing up
wanting to heal but being out of range so keeps playing the bagpipes to at least keep you inspired
oran you're up oh boy sound i ever hear
i'm calling up techless i'm getting his apache helicopter in here
there is no apache helicopter in total war war hammer
it's called the rainbow phoenix it's not an apache
oran my friend i'm having like i i'm the i have all my spell slots basically as heal
yeah one restoration and i have like one haste and i'm sitting here debating what to uh
what to do because i want to kill the thing so no one heals dragon but my friends need healing
there's one bad swipe and they're all dead so
i gotta trust my friends they need me and i have to make it i i feel that i need to heal volley
so she can suffer a hit because she is the most dangerous to being killed and
in a tan house it's reaction is going to refresh if i come through anyway
but i have to get over there but uh i want to say this real quick zoran uh
this is good planning my audio cut out very slightly and it said i need to heal volley so she can suffer
all right not satisfied with volle's degree of suffering
and uh and i'm very confident oren can't get through gorgamonger at this point so he's going to uh
come down this way but put potentially take attack of opportunity no you will take you will take the
tail you will take the tail what's his range 10 or 15. he has a 15 foot reach on his tail
all right the tail as long as time i was going to scream if that was 20. i'm going to 29. regular hit
right he'll hit so it's not a crit so i don't recharge my breath weapon which would have been
okay there's the damage okay you'll do that and he'll spend a i'll spend a first level heal well
not to action heal and volley and he will go into living healing
as it loads all the stuff there we go uh not not a super good one but it's 21 healing over devalu
okay it's a lot but it's also really hilarious that was a three and a one okay it's all the plus and
stuff i get this really helps out that's the important part yeah yeah um oh oh shit i
up volley would have had actually another 2d8 from uh from i'll roll that and then you can add it in
on top yeah if all he's gonna be capped out after this yeah yeah so so 29 yeah so volley will go up to
66 because the quicksilver mutagen can't be healed
cool all right and that'll have to be the end of orange turn because he moved for one turn and
healed for the second tan hauser we have not come this far to die to a pot shut up uh i'm going
to uh the merge is on i'm going to dimensionally shift over here okay um i am going to uh
this is a curious conundrum i'm in on one hand i could definitely burst down the rod goblin and end the
healing effects on the other hand i could do dps to the dragon and we have it seems like three turns to
dps down the rot monster what do you think i should do can he heal on his turn yes you saw it but you
saw the okay but you saw that basically every time that he's healed it's have like it's it's taken away
from the the rot beast so like based on its health right now it's not going to heal that much if it
sucks from the rot boy so it could still be enough to negate my damage potentially
um but if i kill the rot beast then i'm negating my damage already if you do like a big hit yeah
yeah this is a real banking scenario here yeah it is i'd um honestly just hit hit him honestly i have
no idea what to do from seeing the amount of healing and the voting stuff he's going to heal
regardless from the creature like it's his turn next like if he chooses to heal it's gonna it's gonna
happen and it hasn't been that much anyway and i don't know how many shopping grass you have i think
you're gonna do your claw thing for your spell strikes i have uh two shocking grasps and a hydraulic
bush okay um so honestly you can do a lot of damage at this point i would and you do have hay so i don't
know if you use that to move and you're flanking yeah yep yeah that's that's what i'm thinking if you
roll a 20 you do a shit ton of damage but yeah i would i would hit gorgamonger to be honest with
you okay i'll focus those things were somebody clip that yeah all right my dragon you you the the ads
were so fast we had no chance to do anything so yes it was a lost cause there's no way we could do
anything hey we got one so yeah you did kill kill one of them real fast yeah all right we'll uh all in
on gorgamonger then okay let's rock all out attack brother you have a hero point i'll have to use it
okay please oh you bastard okay that's a turn okay oh wait no i have another action uh yeah yeah hey stand
okay uh i don't imagine
yeah so for haste you can only stride or strike so you can only if you if uh yeah so he could strike
yeah yeah you just normally just try to hit him and if that and at that point you don't have to go
after gorgamonger you can try it doesn't make sense to go after this guy i'm not gonna be able to take
him down yeah oh my god oh all right nice boy i'll just have to strike okay that's nice for tony
damn shorty okay yeah man i want to see how much you do to see if you would have killed the little guy
you do a like massive strike on two because you targeted gorgamonger gorgamonger looks very uh
very damaged by that yeah does he look close to death at all wow it's hard you really can't tell
anything because uh none of you have actually used the like the recall knowledge on like rot stuff for
him so or identify creature so i'm going to flick you in the forehead beautiful i love it um but i get
to go with gorgamonger now we've wasted so many actions what's one more yeah um it's gonna eat a
little bit it's not gonna heal it doesn't even heal back what uh you took so um that was that was one
action to do that um the next action will be oh gosh what to do um well tanhauser's the one who's hurt
this thing so let's give it the old you'll bite you with my teeth uh plan here
and i miss with a two you want to g you want to gm point that mr man uh you know i'm thinking about it
um or until don't give him ideas oh i'm waiting for him to be out of fucking coins well he got another
one so i hate you nice job thanks thanks for this
shit
of course you're gonna be
now i turn them against each other
i am so fucking fed up with this fight to explain why they're bad for podcast people
listen roll a national uh roll it oh i'm gonna be right back
and i'm sorry everyone everyone i'm i'm sorry tanhauser is taking a critical hit from an enemy
that half helped him on the first opening strike but everyone please baldrick is the one suffering
the most i know volley volley is rotten three because of one failed role without a hero point but can we
please think of the alchemist fucking instant karma oh no
yeah tanhauser people go that when people go to the gm tanhauser gets in trouble
tanhauser is not dead good lord tanhauser falls unconscious no he can't he doesn't because he goes
up to two health points and i need to know how much
oh that's right because i take that damage now yeah you know you're still in the game
that's right the spirit link
we're starting he can't die until i die that's right uh well okay uh so he took 42
well he took 41. so there was one over that how does spirit link you take half i i need to clarify
third so did you spend a point to swing or did you just do another his last attack
oh i spent a villain point yeah i think based on the wording of spirit link whatever damage he took
that went over his hp i believe i take that damage he just goes up to two hp regardless
yeah that's right that's right yeah okay so if it was only one over his max hp i just take the one
health yeah so he stays at two and then you take the one okay got it boop boop and then uh for my
last action um i'm going to uh continue smashing the tail on oran
no
it hits with a 25.
okay i'll do another 18 to you
and that will be gorgamunger uh is urndale back because it's baltrix go oh i'm sitting right the
fuck here oh well you know what just because of that i've still got a recovery roll to do what's
the chances i could roll another 20 on this i'll just do it if you do i'm removing you okay okay
the fire is still there oh god okay baldrick you're up and um just just to point this out somebody in
chat gave 10 000 bits that there's that they didn't do it right they did add instead of hashtag
and there's a bit of me who just doesn't want to give it to you because they did it
run that guy hand them now damn that guy now you're my favorite mods mods brand that guy
mr elected find that user and send it to hell now
so you're now back full of villain planes oh
oh i think i think there's just like there's just a portion of our audience that just likes urndale being
mad um but urndale it's here go not righteous amusement mad actually mad anyway
i'm gonna play your funny little game little man give me recall knowledge on this thing
i'm gonna roll for it what do i have to roll
um there are a couple options here i will go through your skill list and see what is the most
appropriate in this case is probably going to be medicine yeah medicine for you will be the most
appropriate
medicine sure here we go
wow a three
this is a rotten awful creature that is really hard for you to analyze um can i do it again without
using a hero point or am i screwed with yeah yeah you could you could you could focus on it more
i will waste my entire turn to make that health bar go down because that'll feel like a victory for me
okay or you'll increase it and then i just won't talk to you
13 24 that better yeah that's that's way that's like yeah that's way better um one sec
um so as you're analyzing and you know looking at this thing and trying to figure out you're you're
realizing that it's um it's more in the area of um this as you analyze the damage you've done to it
no other combat has had us do that correct but no this thing is so weird and alien anatomied
that as you finally look at it you are just suddenly realizing that this thing has the rot
that is overlaying a dead body which has made it incredibly difficult for you to analyze until you
pause and and assessed it and on top of that you can uh ask me two questions about this creature
when it dies does it go to hell
no i'm not of a right mind to ask questions about this thing right now i want to kill it and
be done with this so we don't lose volley okay so the the the most effective way to to kill this
thing will uh be moss fire um and like just concentrated damage at this point well lucky
fucking me i can do that yay thirst and imagine if you will i'm walking up to you
i crouch down and i dig my hands like palms open and like fingers pointed towards the ground
under your feet and then i lift up rapidly and hurl you into the sun
i'm going to throw a grenade yes you may it would be extremely painful yeah it would actually here we
go if you did that to uh to uh it'd be a caver top true you hit him all right there you go i hit the
the damn thing blow up there we go 13 damage plus seven or four at 17 yeah cool it's looking real beat
up all right he's still on fire all right here you go pass it along okay you're up you're up tree boy oh
okay uh so yeah things are things are still kind of imperiled but i've got one more attempt to
maybe fuck up this creature i don't know i'm gonna look at this knowing what oren has been through
and just assault what remains of gorgom hunger's vegetable consciousness to hope
that what i'm about to empower upon him will have him just give up and perish i'm going to cast crisis of
faith at a heightened no plus one okay oh yeah what do i need to splash the other thing oh that's right
yeah yeah good call i forgot about it got it not thinking right now you're good i believe it needs a
will save all right
it fails all right show me the crisis of faith
25 damage and it's heightened so it would take another 2d6 on top of that
a couple things happen here as as this strikes gorgamonger
collapses down it does not die but as it does and this like crisis of faith ripples through it
and its head begins shaking it looks over to you oren having this moment of recognition
in its eyes the rot is peeled back the flames on its back begin begin to like stutter and peter out as
as they burn away the rot on it um they the flames actually move off of gorgamonger transferring to the to
the minion creature at its side immolating it in a moment
and then gorgamonger begins to whine the the gurgling sounds stopping the
as it lets out this more material sound as this crisis of faith that has been imparted upon it
by the embodiment of chaos has removed what stain was upon its mind from the rot though as you see it
you can tell that the rot has been pushed off of it to the edges of its form
but it seems to be seeping back at this point i'm gonna end the combat here because it's no longer
a threat um in fact it seems to just be kind of whining as it sits down
and its head looks over to you oren with this this deep recognition
gorgamonger
he'll look left and right to everyone he's he's making sure that it's just not some rot trick
just making sure everything's fine and uh and in and he would like to make a perception check to
make sure like there's no more no more fighting absolutely give me a check yeah to make sure that
they've won the day 24. yeah so as you um as you do do this check and you look you can tell that the
rot has been pushed back on it uh across like pretty much all of its body but it's at the trace
edges and you can see it's it's growing back but whatever your allies have done both through
spell damage through blade through magic through alchemy has caused this infestation to to recede
temporarily giving giving your companion your your dragon friend a moment of lucidity and the horrors
of course it is endured orin will look at rahua and uh and kind of hold out his hand like rahua
yes can i borrow your mace
of course my friend of course and rahua will unfurl his vines from the mace and give it to orin just nod his
head knowing what has to be done and um he'll nod he'll take the mates
and he'll start walking up to grow a good month
and i sit down with him start kind of he'll take his head and kind of put it up on his lap
and he'll start start pitting him a bit good to see you buddy you're gonna need to change the scene
um and yeah oh yes i see why yes
hey buddy it's okay
i went a long way no farrah misses you and so does dad
uh he'll continue to kind of pet his head sure he's fine and he'll go i'm gonna see you buddy
i'm feeling well but it's okay i'm here to help
oh let's get as you as you put your hand on and you you touch gorgamunger you feel something
through your companion you feel this awful this infestation that's in its body
and you feel that it's it's keeping it alive
yeah i know buddy i know it's okay here i'll take care of you and he'll get he'll ready his mace but
he's like gently just petting the dragon and he'll start he'll start singing
oh misty eyes it's a whole new day
oh when will you come out and play
come now and wipe your tears
for the path we take
is never clear
oh misty eyes
i'll wait for you
high above
high above
that endless sky
with sunshine
to dry
our pain
together
we can
remove
this day
and after he sings he takes the moss up
and he finally ends gorgamunger's suffering
and with the mace coming down
before it strikes
you you feel that like awful essence in in gorgamunger this thing trying to keep it in existence
and before your your weapon can strike there is a moment where all of the rot
ripples through gorgamunger's body going towards the the the top of its skull
and and forming this black blot in in just a fraction of a second
and the mace rather than impacting the skull of of your your dragon friend it instead
shoots out with vines that grab this blacky substance this rot this pure rot
and then crush it causing it to dissolve and with that whatever animating force was left
within your companion fades away and gorgamunger's head drops down lifeless

and gorgamunger and just start um like he'll take some of his staff and some bits he has and he'll
start collecting a few and yeah absolutely he'll say and he'll he'll begin just kind of muttering
things it's like like like return to the land return to the hands return to the land return to
him he'll start you know taking stuff and uh and he'll then kind of he'll kind of stand up and he'll
kind of just kind of take the mossy weapon and start rubbing it on the talons and stuff just kind
of you know make sure you know no more rotten stuff but also just kind of putting that together
and he'll uh after after he's kind of collected himself a little bit he'll come up to everybody
and he'll go like yeah shakily he'll he'll go to each and every single person and he'll take one
of gorgamunger's fangs and give it to everybody even pick and uh he'll also go over the panhouser help
him up and stuff and bring people together and he'll he'll just nod and say like
keep what you kill
and even so i even the last part of gorgamunger i at least would like him to be
although be able to contribute in the way that he wants in his final days
you know you saved him
in those last moments gorgamunger had truly become your friend again
and i hope you know that even if we could not save him as we had wished in this way you have done
something incredible to free a being if even for a moment from the rot
gorgamunger will always be with you whether a memento or just within your heart
but uh this memento is real nice i i promise i'll take you back to to the squelch for home and we'll
put this above a mantle in the fireplace and i'll i'll tell all the squelch foot family members all my
brothers all my sisters by what happened here today and what you did

i want to find who did this
whoever hunts her own needs to be punished
and i'm going to go to the very ends of the earth until they're brought back to the jaw mountains
or at least murdered destroyed something i'm making sure that gorgamunger didn't die as some
just some failed experiment
i'm gonna find who did this
we will find them
we will bring them retribution
and if possible we shall teach them more about pain than they would ever want to know
take
that righteous indignation you feel or an
every ounce of hate
every pang for vengeance that you feel now
and carry that with you
for this is our charge
to end this agony
lest it befall any one of us
to bring an end to this death that walks
for you've done such good
returning one
soul to the earth as you did
you have saved off
the end

but we will go together
as you said
to the ends of all things
to see this blight stamped out
and burned away
for you
for gorgamunger for all of us
