WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.440 Maybe you have wings. Well, 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:17.835 hello there, everybody. Welcome to this, an episode of DodoBorne with me, your GM, your best friend, and your duck dew, Isaac Allen Burns. And sitting next to me is one Holly Baker. 00:00:17.835 --> 00:00:20.395 That's me. Hi. Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet Next you 00:00:21.835 --> 00:00:23.595 to Holly, have one Joe Diomede. 00:00:23.595 --> 00:00:28.260 Did you say duck dew? Yeah. What's the duck dew? Chew the music. 00:01:58.975 --> 00:02:40.455 Last time on DodoBorne, our four heroes received a bit of news. An obstruction of justice or a little bit of Kafkaesque manipulation, it seems as though the peacekeepers are putting their hands inside the adventuring guild business. Apparently, from an initiative that comes up on high from the Regulus guild branch leader herself, we have now a bit of additional communication between the peacekeepers and our adventurers. The peacekeepers get to sign off on what missions they do and reject ones that they don't want them to do. Clearly upset, the four had only a slight bit of a fit and Michelle took them to their office to let them know to maybe keep their heads down. 00:02:40.455 --> 00:03:06.005 Also, here's three missions that they can take on. Choosing one of them, some monsters at the river caves, our heroes went and investigated and found a pool full of eels. After a bit of nice climbing from Argus and a little bit of a a situation where if we had scorpion, it would have been a full fable. We were able to get our way into the cave. But then they heard some music. 00:03:06.725 --> 00:03:20.900 Entranced by the music, one cappy went into the cavern. And boy, oh boy, gay. I'm so excited to find out what we see. The three of you watch as Cappy has moved into the hallway and disappears out of sight. 00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:29.175 Cappy, come on. Does anybody know anything about, like, singing things? Should we, like, close our ears or something? Stuff them with cotton? 00:03:29.175 --> 00:03:31.015 There are a lot of stories about this. 00:03:31.015 --> 00:03:33.015 So should we stuff our ears with cotton? 00:03:33.015 --> 00:03:35.815 What do you know about it? Usually, it means death, so we should go. 00:03:35.815 --> 00:03:37.175 Okay. Well Okay. Should we stuff 00:03:37.175 --> 00:03:41.980 our Put fingers in your ears. Okay. Alright. Are you gonna do it too? Nope. 00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:44.540 They're running with their ears. 00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:50.780 You run with your ears inside. Because you did not go immediately, the countdown already is down by one. 00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:51.820 Oh, no. 00:03:51.820 --> 00:03:52.700 What are you doing? 00:03:52.700 --> 00:03:53.740 We were running and talking. 00:03:53.765 --> 00:03:58.645 The fingers in my ears is optimistic considering I need to roll my wheels, so that's not happening. 00:03:58.885 --> 00:04:10.840 A countdown of five is on the table. Okay. Enter into the cavern. You see Cappy standing in front of you. And gang, let's talk about what we see inside this cavern. 00:04:11.640 --> 00:04:30.535 I will set a bit of the stage. Inside you see a large cavern. At the far end of this cavern is a deep pool, but all around you is creatures. You, the audience, know what these are. These at the table know what these are, but I'm curious Rowan. 00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:36.980 What's something odd or unexpected about these sirens here? 00:04:37.220 --> 00:04:51.585 Oh, I've got the perfect thing. Okay. They're anglerfish sirens. But their little light that Lynn would have for an anglerfish, in fact, just turns into whoever the person it perceives you are most attracted to. 00:04:51.665 --> 00:04:53.665 Oh, no. Oh. Wow. 00:04:53.665 --> 00:04:54.145 Just right out 00:04:54.145 --> 00:04:59.750 the gate. The visual representation. Yeah. You are a genius. A cruel, evil 00:04:59.750 --> 00:05:00.950 genius. Well, 00:05:02.710 --> 00:05:07.430 I'm gonna have to change some things on the fly. This is exciting. Very good. Yeah. 00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:10.710 You walk in. Those of you who have covered your ears, which I think in this case is just 00:05:11.030 --> 00:05:11.750 Just pistachio. 00:05:11.750 --> 00:05:16.225 Totally pistachio. Sasha, you're running in. And this makes sense. I asked first. You're the first one to see everything. 00:05:16.305 --> 00:05:29.505 You see just a horror show of sirens. Angler fish, big, long teeth coming in and out. And just that big old tendril coming from their forehead showing something. Argus, how many of them are there? 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.320 I'm gonna roll. Help me. Okay. 85. 00:05:35.320 --> 00:05:36.680 What? 85. 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.520 85 siren. I 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:40.520 was like, that's a g 00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:43.000 eight. What are you doing? I added an eight. 00:05:43.195 --> 00:05:46.155 Why? Rachel was clearing her throat at 00:05:46.235 --> 00:05:46.955 eight of five. 00:05:46.955 --> 00:05:48.155 It was five. Five. 00:05:48.635 --> 00:05:49.035 I'm gonna 00:05:49.035 --> 00:05:53.755 I'm gonna ask you right now. Do you want there to be 85 sirens in here? No. I don't. Okay. 00:05:53.995 --> 00:05:59.590 I wanna survive. Five sirens in the room. You could've chose a d four. 00:05:59.830 --> 00:06:04.310 Nope. There are five sirens in the room. Actually, Rowan, can you roll me a d four for me? 00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:04.710 No. 00:06:04.710 --> 00:06:08.005 Yeah. Do it. Do it right now. Do it. Good idea, Roland. 00:06:08.005 --> 00:06:08.565 One 00:06:08.725 --> 00:06:30.420 one of them is a special siren, though. One of them is very special. Three of those sirens have their backs turned to you, and they're facing the pool. Clearly, this pool is very deep. You can even kind of see it undulating up and down, the oscillation suggesting that perhaps it has a connection to the river outside. 00:06:31.315 --> 00:06:37.635 But there's something in this pool. And, Holly, what is inside this pool? 00:06:37.635 --> 00:06:47.890 It's a magnificently large pink crystal. Pink? It's pink. Pink. Like rose quartz. 00:06:47.890 --> 00:06:50.850 So it's, like, cloudy, and it's kind of swirling in color. 00:06:51.090 --> 00:06:51.730 Milky. 00:06:51.730 --> 00:06:52.610 Yeah. Yeah. 00:06:52.610 --> 00:07:08.725 A big old rose pink crystal that's there. The song that echoes, you can hear bouncing off of the walls here. The acoustics in this place are magnificent. Oh my goodness. It's like enhancing the song to be more powerful than if it was just a single siren. 00:07:08.725 --> 00:07:21.180 Now you see that their backs are turned. They seem to be singing to this crystal. There is some resonance as this crystal. You can hear it kind of a low resonant in the back of your mind. And capping. 00:07:21.820 --> 00:07:26.540 Hello. What are you saying right now? Well 00:07:29.515 --> 00:07:44.630 Yeah. What? Happy walks into a cavern to see a room of singing Scarlet 00:07:44.870 --> 00:07:46.150 Oh, no. Oh, no. 00:07:46.150 --> 00:07:51.110 Cali Oh, no. Oh, no. Nefany Oh, no. Each one is 00:07:51.110 --> 00:07:51.990 a different face. 00:07:52.230 --> 00:08:00.895 And Willow. This is great. 00:08:01.775 --> 00:08:04.015 Yeah, Cappy. You see all 00:08:04.015 --> 00:08:07.215 of these individuals. And I think it's 00:08:07.215 --> 00:08:14.450 Scarlet that's looking at you right now. And Scarlet is she looks gorgeous. She looks stunning. Oh my goodness. She looks amazing. 00:08:14.690 --> 00:08:16.050 Best you've ever seen her. 00:08:16.690 --> 00:08:17.490 Her hair is down. 00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:27.385 Her hair is down. Wavy. Her hair is down. Those lips are pouty, and she is giving you eyes to come here. You see that her arms kinda come out. 00:08:27.385 --> 00:08:34.265 You hear her voice say, Cappy. And it echoes in your mind. Hey. It's so good to see you. 00:08:34.265 --> 00:08:44.300 Yeah. It's I didn't expect to see you here. I you look amazing. I Thank you. Listen. 00:08:44.300 --> 00:08:56.765 I I Come closer. Yeah. I mean, I I I can. I listen. I I just wanted you to know that I would I have stopped what happened with your dad if if if I if I could've. 00:08:56.765 --> 00:09:04.845 I just it it it all happened so fast. Like, Cappy's, like, slowly walking towards Scarlet all while he's saying these things. 00:09:05.085 --> 00:09:05.885 Sweet lips. 00:09:05.885 --> 00:09:12.020 I forgive you, she says. You need not fear at all. Come to me. 00:09:12.260 --> 00:09:13.380 Okay, story. What? 00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:18.420 I'll say, Joe, for that incredible roleplay moment Yeah. Go ahead and gain a hope. 00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:19.380 Yay. I'm giving you 00:09:19.380 --> 00:09:19.540 a hope. 00:09:19.540 --> 00:09:20.100 Thank you. 00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:24.255 You are currently entranced, which means that you are vulnerable and you cannot take actions. 00:09:24.255 --> 00:09:24.975 Oh, no. 00:09:24.975 --> 00:09:34.175 For my other two individuals Someone help me. Are Yeah. In this room who did not cover your ears. Yep. Can I get instinct reaction rolls from you? 00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:49.705 And pistachio, what you see as this strange anglerfish is reaching out. You see that they have these it's, you know, kind of hulking little things with, hands. You see that they're have an enormous mouth. Anglerfish mouth. Right? 00:09:49.705 --> 00:09:49.865 We all 00:09:49.865 --> 00:10:07.520 know what anglerfish look like. Big old teeth. We've all played Outer Wilds. We know the game. Now as it's reaching out, though, you see that their hands aren't just with little claws and web, but you see that there are openings in the palms of their hands of Oh, no. 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:20.015 Sucking moths No. That are just coming out and are about to seem to be also where the song is coming from is out of their hands. Oh. And those hands are reaching right for Cappy's neck. What did my other two here get? 00:10:20.255 --> 00:10:22.575 You first. I promise. 12 with fear. 00:10:22.575 --> 00:10:24.895 12. It's irrational, so hope of fear no matter, 12? 00:10:24.895 --> 00:10:26.095 I crit on fives. 00:10:26.095 --> 00:10:32.420 Crit on fives. Incredible. Damn. Willow, you are not entranced, unfortunately, Argus. 00:10:32.420 --> 00:10:33.940 This has never worked on me before. 00:10:33.940 --> 00:10:34.180 Who do 00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:37.300 you see? I'm curious. Okay. Who do you see? 00:10:37.300 --> 00:10:43.325 Only one person. Okay. One person. His name is Oscar. Okay. 00:10:43.325 --> 00:10:44.925 And he's a very long way away. 00:10:45.005 --> 00:10:47.725 Oh, he's so far away? Yeah. What does Oscar look like? 00:10:47.805 --> 00:10:53.405 Oscar is a Qatari and mostly white furred, I think. 00:10:54.365 --> 00:10:56.420 Argus, it's so good to see you. 00:10:56.420 --> 00:11:00.180 No. No, it 00:11:00.180 --> 00:11:01.220 is It's 00:11:01.220 --> 00:11:03.860 so oh, okay. That wasn't a note on the voice. Uh-oh. 00:11:04.260 --> 00:11:06.500 Argus. I 00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:08.340 came all this way to see you. 00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:08.980 No, you didn't. 00:11:09.105 --> 00:11:10.785 Yes. I did. Don't you want to 00:11:11.345 --> 00:11:15.825 He's gonna blindly reach out Yeah. For anyone around him. 00:11:16.225 --> 00:11:21.425 Very good. You're sort of reaching out, but your hands seem to still gravitate towards him. 00:11:21.425 --> 00:11:25.590 No. Trying to reach back, but you find your arms drifting through. He's trying not to. 00:11:25.590 --> 00:11:46.635 Yes. Willow and Pistachio, one thing that you notice is that this song is just echoing throughout with this natural resonance. Seems a little stronger than what the books would tell you. And in fact, in this moment, as both of you are entranced, you immediately move one range closer. So in this case, Gappy, you are very close to this creature. 00:11:46.635 --> 00:11:52.235 And I'm gonna say the Argus, you were far, and now you are within close range of I the nearest 00:11:53.035 --> 00:12:11.895 got Cappy, Pistachio will say. And Pistachio will caprene leap over to get to Cappy with their hands on their ears. It says that you can leap anywhere within close range as though you were using normal movements, allowing you obstacles, jump across gaps, or scale barriers. 00:12:12.615 --> 00:12:19.095 I'll say that you are within close range of Capi. Yeah. So you can get to Capi. What do you do? 00:12:19.095 --> 00:12:22.740 Is the thing right in front of him with the little hands? 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:26.100 Yeah. It's very close. So it's like right about to get him. 00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:27.780 Pistachio's gonna roundhouse kick the 00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:30.180 hands. Yes. The hands. Yes. 00:12:30.180 --> 00:12:32.900 Very good. Go ahead and give me an attack roll. 00:12:32.900 --> 00:12:34.500 Okay. To use kick, which 00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:36.420 is a fun ancestry trait, 00:12:36.585 --> 00:12:40.025 I'm going to mark a stress to kick myself and do damage if I can do this. 00:12:40.025 --> 00:12:42.105 Yep. Get it stashed. Please. 00:12:42.665 --> 00:12:43.945 That is crit on twos. 00:12:43.945 --> 00:12:45.385 Woo. Nice. 00:12:45.465 --> 00:12:48.025 Amazing. This happened. We love a good crit here. This We love 00:12:48.025 --> 00:12:48.345 a good crit. 00:12:48.505 --> 00:12:53.690 Twice already. Throw one little guy at y'all, and now it's crit city. 00:12:53.690 --> 00:12:55.610 Oh my goodness. 00:12:56.250 --> 00:13:02.330 I'm gonna mark a stress to knock myself off of them, dealing an extra two d six damage and knocking them back. 00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:04.250 Okay. Do it up. Very nice. 00:13:04.410 --> 00:13:05.290 Three fours and a three. 00:13:05.415 --> 00:13:06.855 Three fours and a three? 00:13:07.015 --> 00:13:07.655 13. 00:13:07.895 --> 00:13:12.375 Sorry. It's 12 plus three is 15. 15. Thanks, Ollie. 00:13:12.375 --> 00:13:14.055 15 damage. 00:13:14.055 --> 00:13:17.175 15 damage as Pistachio knocks them back. 00:13:17.255 --> 00:13:19.730 As Pistachio, like, kicks that, I feel like it, like, 00:13:19.730 --> 00:13:27.330 it, like, you know, it shakes Cappy, like, sort of out of it for a second and, like, starts, like, flashing in and out. Pistachio, don't hurt Scarlet. 00:13:27.330 --> 00:13:32.145 Cappy, that is a monster with two little moths on its hand, and don't want that. You do 00:13:32.145 --> 00:13:33.505 not get to call her that. 00:13:33.505 --> 00:13:36.065 You don't want that, son, man. I promise. 00:13:36.865 --> 00:13:47.540 The sake of the lore, is it is it that is it a magical illusion that projects only into an individual's mind, Or is it that they're projecting an illusion that anyone can see until they shift their focus? 00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:51.620 It is projected into an individual's mind. Okay. Mhmm. Cappy, you take one stress. 00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:52.820 Oh. Oh, no. 00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:55.380 Okay. Wait a minute. Wait minute. Wait a minute. Wait. 00:13:55.380 --> 00:14:04.635 A One second. Unshakable. Nice. Furrbhog ancestry. When I would mark a stress, roll a d six on a result of six. 00:14:04.635 --> 00:14:05.675 I don't mark it. 00:14:05.995 --> 00:14:06.635 There you go. 00:14:06.635 --> 00:14:10.250 Come on, baby. Never mind. That was a three. We're a six. 00:14:10.250 --> 00:14:21.290 Very close. Very good. That was a crit that was with hope. So I'm curious, Willow, in this case, you see two of your friends are a little entranced. You've watched Pistachio leap up handslessly attacking one of them. 00:14:21.290 --> 00:14:22.765 Yep. What would you like to do? 00:14:22.765 --> 00:14:54.255 And you did say that it would be pretty recognizable that the sound is causing the entrancement. So I think Willow will not only to prepare herself for a fight, will slide her arms real quick into the two round shields she has. So she's got a round shield on each arm. But she is going to bang them together to cause hopefully a really shrill metal sound to at least like, as she's kind of also rolling up to Argus to get closer to him, she's gonna try to do this to see if it helps interrupt just the resonance of that sound. 00:14:54.255 --> 00:14:56.095 It's like in How to Train Your Dragon when they distract 00:14:56.095 --> 00:14:56.735 the Right. 00:14:56.735 --> 00:14:58.575 Right. Right. With hitting the stuff. Right. 00:14:59.215 --> 00:15:11.640 Case, there's no action. There's no role necessary for this. You are creating sound to combat the sound. Mhmm. As long as that is happening, people have advantage to not be insourceful by this. 00:15:11.640 --> 00:15:13.000 Nice. Okay. 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:19.320 Now for those who are already insourceful, you're still sort of insourceful. I hold? Some banging. No. 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:21.160 Aw. I can't. 00:15:21.160 --> 00:15:22.120 Really unfortunate. 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.755 In that case, I think Argus would say, you weren't supposed to follow me. 00:15:26.075 --> 00:15:39.130 But I missed you so much, and there's so much I need to tell you. No. I've discovered something very important that I need to tell you and only you. And you see that this individual was closer to the crystal. It's kinda making its way closer to you. 00:15:39.130 --> 00:15:48.170 Oh, no. And this individual is getting within very close range. You Yeah. Willow, are rolling up to Argus. You see that you are not the only one approaching. 00:15:48.170 --> 00:15:50.650 And as you are banging on these, what are gonna try and do? 00:15:50.650 --> 00:15:56.115 I think I'm gonna come to the one that's closest to Argus then and within very close distance to me, and I'm gonna make an attack. I'm gonna 00:15:56.275 --> 00:15:56.755 Do it. 00:15:56.755 --> 00:15:58.355 Swing with my round shield. 00:15:58.355 --> 00:15:59.075 Do it up. 00:15:59.075 --> 00:16:06.040 Okay. You know what? I'm gonna spend three hope as well for my warrior hope feature. It's the unique hope feature for a warrior. It's no mercy. 00:16:06.040 --> 00:16:17.160 You spend three hope to gain a plus one bonus to attack rolls until your next rest. So Oh, nice. That brings me to a 15 with fear. A 15 For an attack. 15 to hit. 00:16:17.175 --> 00:16:19.175 That will succeed. K. 00:16:19.175 --> 00:16:20.535 Oh, yeah. Get it? 00:16:20.775 --> 00:16:23.495 18 plus nine. So a 27 00:16:23.575 --> 00:16:24.055 Nice. 00:16:24.055 --> 00:16:24.855 For damage. 00:16:25.015 --> 00:16:25.895 Who's got hit? 00:16:25.895 --> 00:16:26.375 Who's that? 00:16:26.375 --> 00:16:27.735 Who severely 00:16:28.935 --> 00:16:38.590 severely hit this individual. You see Oscar gets just blasted back. Oh my god. Just fully blasted back by a rounded shield attack. You take one stress. 00:16:38.590 --> 00:16:40.030 Yeah. Was horrifying. 00:16:40.030 --> 00:16:41.390 Yep. Oscar. 00:16:41.390 --> 00:16:42.430 Guess whose turn it is. 00:16:42.430 --> 00:16:43.550 That's not Oscar. 00:16:43.550 --> 00:17:17.495 You hear in the side where the one that's larger than the rest of a larger anglerfish, more teeth in their mouth, wider frame, much more of a getup on this one, almost like robes, deep blue robes. They hold their hands up. And I'm gonna spend Ophir. And you see that some of the water that is in that deep dark pool that is surrounding that crystal spirals up and lashes out, and it's going to go towards Cappy and Pistachio. Okay. 00:17:17.895 --> 00:17:24.535 Can I get, in this moment right now, a agility reaction roll? 00:17:24.535 --> 00:17:25.415 Sure. 00:17:26.135 --> 00:17:27.015 Of course. 00:17:28.830 --> 00:17:29.790 Hell, yeah. 00:17:30.030 --> 00:17:32.350 And you will have disadvantage on this one, Cappy. 00:17:32.510 --> 00:17:33.390 Did you crit? 00:17:33.390 --> 00:17:35.230 I did crit. Hell, yeah. 00:17:35.310 --> 00:17:40.430 Is happening? I'm jealous. I wanna be a part of this. You will be, probably. I need to crit. 00:17:41.545 --> 00:17:42.745 Crit at this point. 00:17:42.745 --> 00:17:44.265 At this point, yeah, honestly. 00:17:44.585 --> 00:17:45.705 You crit at this 14 00:17:47.945 --> 00:17:55.470 for pistachio. And also, didn't say it with hope or fear because a reaction real bad. Finally learned it. 00:17:55.470 --> 00:17:56.830 Way to go, Rowan. 00:17:56.830 --> 00:17:58.190 I'm teachable. 00:18:00.510 --> 00:18:03.550 Let's see if it sticks, though, because I keep doing it too. It's teachable. 00:18:03.630 --> 00:18:06.430 I'm so sorry. That will actually fail Oh. 00:18:06.670 --> 00:18:11.135 By one. You tease. Because the because the the crystal 00:18:11.135 --> 00:18:29.770 is resonating. So difficulties are up by one. In this case, you are restrained as water splashes on the ground near you and shoots out in all directions, wrapping you up. Oh, no. It almost seems like it just avoids Cappy as though it knows that Cappy's in source holds, and it wraps you up. 00:18:29.770 --> 00:18:37.785 You're currently restraint. You can make a strength roll to get out of Okay. But as it currently stands you are restrained, you simply cannot move. 00:18:37.785 --> 00:18:41.305 Did it get it in time where Pistachio's ears are covered, or do you think it, like, reached out? 00:18:41.305 --> 00:18:43.705 We'll say your ears are still covered. Okay. You're just kinda bound up a little bit. 00:18:43.705 --> 00:18:44.425 I'm bound up like this. 00:18:44.425 --> 00:18:46.585 Probably a familiar feeling to Pistachio at this point. 00:18:46.585 --> 00:18:48.320 Oh, no. Capi. 00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:50.400 Oh, no. Oh, no. Reaches out. 00:18:50.400 --> 00:19:06.035 Yeah. Capi says almost exactly what Oscar was saying to Argus. I I I have so much to tell you. I I I found out this information. I mean, you know better than most people that, you know, after my family and then 00:19:06.275 --> 00:19:10.115 Shut up and kiss me. Don't And he goes That's monster. 00:19:14.840 --> 00:19:15.640 What'd you do? 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:16.600 You rolled back. 00:19:16.600 --> 00:19:17.800 You rolled back. Nice. 00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:19.160 You rolled a two and a five. 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.600 Does a seven beat your evasion? It doesn't. 00:19:22.760 --> 00:19:24.280 Cappy, that's a monster. 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:25.400 You Cappy shakes 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.400 a little. You shakes it you shakes it a little. 00:19:28.855 --> 00:19:30.295 Cappy shakes his head a little. 00:19:30.295 --> 00:19:34.055 And Willow still as the gongs cool down, Willow's gonging too whenever it 00:19:35.415 --> 00:19:47.370 You shakes her head a bit, and the image of this anglerfish monstrosity snaps into frame from him before disappearing, and it's Scarlet again. Oh. And now her mouth is just, a little too wide. Oh. Oh. 00:19:47.370 --> 00:19:54.970 She was going in for a big one. That's creepy. And now I'm gonna spend another fear for the one next to Arcus. No. No. 00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:55.530 Oscar. 00:19:56.015 --> 00:20:02.495 He's running towards Oscar. Shut up and kiss me, he says. You you were trying to run towards it? Yeah. No. 00:20:02.495 --> 00:20:04.815 Willow would try to stop you. He's moving now. 00:20:04.815 --> 00:20:07.935 And Oscar gets up and runs to you before you can do anything, Willow. 00:20:07.935 --> 00:20:08.335 No. 00:20:08.690 --> 00:20:12.130 There. Oh, two nineteen is awesome. Does a 21 beat your evasion? 00:20:12.130 --> 00:20:12.850 Yes. 00:20:15.330 --> 00:20:16.290 Oh, no. 00:20:18.210 --> 00:20:20.130 I made it three episodes. Oh 00:20:20.530 --> 00:20:21.330 my god. 00:20:21.810 --> 00:20:24.045 That's 20 physical damage. 00:20:24.045 --> 00:20:24.525 Is it? 00:20:24.525 --> 00:20:25.565 Woah. Yeah. It is. 00:20:25.565 --> 00:20:27.885 That's okay. 00:20:27.885 --> 00:20:38.560 However, mark two stress. Great. And because you have mark two stress, you see that the image of Oscar fades away almost immediately. You see a nasty looking anglerfish 00:20:38.560 --> 00:20:39.280 with Oh my god. 00:20:39.520 --> 00:20:41.280 Eel on its breath as it 00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:41.920 roars away. 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.080 I told you. Get away from it. 00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:46.800 Oh, no. That's so gross. That's so gross. That's so gross. 00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:52.375 And finally, one fear for the song to continue. 00:20:52.375 --> 00:20:52.935 Oh, no. 00:20:52.935 --> 00:21:02.695 And can I get everybody to make another role for me? I'll say that because you, Cappy, are still in it, you do not need to roll. But Argus and 00:21:02.695 --> 00:21:04.055 And you said Will this is instinct real? 00:21:04.055 --> 00:21:05.495 This is an instinct reaction role. 00:21:05.730 --> 00:21:07.090 Does Pistachio be a real? 00:21:07.090 --> 00:21:08.050 Did you cry No. 00:21:08.050 --> 00:21:11.570 You didn't. Seven. Get them all out now. Get them all out now. 00:21:11.570 --> 00:21:20.995 Everyone's gotten one. Everyone's gotten one. For those of you keeping track at home, I got one last episode. These chuckle fucks got one this episode. One for everybody. 00:21:21.155 --> 00:21:25.475 Incredible. But, yes, Argus, you are able to resist. And what do you have, Willow? 00:21:25.475 --> 00:21:28.275 Eight. Oh, it's Willow's side. You look 00:21:28.275 --> 00:21:37.830 at you look at the one that's just next to your good friend, Argus. And who do we see as the countdown drops to three? 00:21:38.230 --> 00:21:52.375 I mean, the gang did go out dancing last night. Yes. And I imagine maybe Willow was upset that Miles wasn't at the cafe today because maybe Miles had the day off because he was out dancing yesterday. Miles. What a big choice. 00:21:52.375 --> 00:21:53.735 They had a good time yesterday. 00:21:53.735 --> 00:21:55.895 There we go. Miles. Good choice, Willow. 00:21:55.895 --> 00:22:01.655 Miles is there. He is see, he's looking at Argus, and then he 00:22:01.655 --> 00:22:05.050 turns to look at you, Willow, and he says, there's my dance partner. 00:22:06.970 --> 00:22:09.130 Oh, hi. 00:22:09.130 --> 00:22:10.330 Hey. You wanna go dancing 00:22:10.330 --> 00:22:13.770 again? I mean, it was fun. 00:22:13.850 --> 00:22:17.370 Yeah. You want me to do that trick where I pick you up in that, like, that one movie? 00:22:18.225 --> 00:22:23.425 I've never had someone do that before. That's gonna be really fun. 00:22:23.425 --> 00:22:36.930 And because you're ensorcelled, you move into very close range with this thing. Yeah. But that and you are vulnerable and you cannot take actions, unfortunately. However, Argus and Pistachio, you're kinda bound up right now. You can definitely get out with a strength check if you would like to try to do that. 00:22:37.010 --> 00:22:37.250 I think 00:22:37.410 --> 00:22:38.530 Otherwise, you're restrained. 00:22:38.530 --> 00:22:46.365 Yes. Pistachio's gonna try and get out. First, they're gonna try without doing any beast form, and then if it doesn't work, they're gonna try again by beast forming out of it. 00:22:46.365 --> 00:22:46.845 Do it out. 00:22:46.845 --> 00:22:47.085 Make a 00:22:47.085 --> 00:22:47.565 strength check. 00:22:47.565 --> 00:22:48.205 And we're gonna try? 00:22:48.205 --> 00:22:52.205 Strength check for pistachio to try and get out of these watery bounds. 00:22:52.205 --> 00:22:56.525 That's another crit. Oh my god. On sixes. Do you want me 00:22:56.525 --> 00:22:57.085 to show you? 00:22:57.085 --> 00:22:59.885 Yeah. I believe you. I mean, listen. Listen. Sixes. 00:22:59.885 --> 00:23:07.900 There is there is never doubt in my eyes when people tell me that, oh, I just did a crit. There is simply disappointment in the world and in the universe. 00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:08.620 Should we go gambling 00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:08.940 for a 00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:10.220 step of this session? We should 00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:11.020 go gambling. 00:23:11.020 --> 00:23:14.940 Gambling. My goodness. And we gotta play with dice, so we gotta go pick graps. 00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:23.315 Well, heal the stress, gain a hope, and I'll say pistachio in this moment, you just splash water, and water splashes all over Scarlet. 00:23:23.395 --> 00:23:23.955 Perfect. 00:23:23.955 --> 00:23:26.355 Kappa, you see Scarlet is not just drenched in water. 00:23:27.715 --> 00:23:29.395 Goddamn I'm starting to 00:23:29.395 --> 00:23:38.170 feel like maybe you're a monster, but I it's kinda working. Oh my god. Oh gosh. Oh, 00:23:38.810 --> 00:23:43.370 I like this. Would you say that this is a magical effect going on right now? 00:23:43.690 --> 00:23:46.905 Yeah. The singing part or the whole thing? 00:23:46.905 --> 00:23:48.905 There's certainly magic within the song. 00:23:48.905 --> 00:23:53.225 Isn't there always? You know what I mean? There always is. Okay. 00:23:57.065 --> 00:24:22.025 So I think Pistachio is just getting so frustrated and just yells out, stop. And then using counterspell, I can interrupt a magical effect taking place by making a reaction roll using my spell cast trait. On a success, the effect stops and any consequences are a role worded. Oh. It does go in my vault afterwards, so I have to rest to use the game. 00:24:22.025 --> 00:24:22.905 I mean, that's 00:24:23.545 --> 00:24:25.705 Crit. Oh, do it. Crit. Crit. Crit. 00:24:26.825 --> 00:24:26.985 Crit. 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.920 I didn't crip, but that's still good. That is a 21. 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.040 21. And it's reaction rolls over for no matter what 00:24:36.040 --> 00:24:36.360 a way 00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:37.880 to go, Roan. Once again, Roan. 00:24:38.120 --> 00:24:39.160 Well, way to go Roan. Let's 00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:41.640 see. I'm teachable. Oh my gosh. You do it one more time 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:56.480 and you're gaining a hope. Counterspell. What a powerful effect. This is not just a simple cutting off of one person. And so as you yell stop, this magic almost shuts everything down in 00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:57.600 here. Yeah. 00:24:57.600 --> 00:25:10.105 Blast of magic out of you. The song stops. Even the humming in the back of your ears that has been going on the whole time from that crystal stops. Willow and Cappy, you are immediately shot out of 00:25:10.105 --> 00:25:10.585 the No 00:25:11.545 --> 00:25:19.785 stress because this is an effect. The magic ends, and all of the sirens turn to look at you. 00:25:19.785 --> 00:25:29.000 I feel like Pistachio, like, it's so powerful that they just, like, fall to their knees and, like, hold themselves up. And they're panting just 00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:30.600 Hey, David. 00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:36.200 Pistachio, are you okay? I think so. But I need a minute. 00:25:36.455 --> 00:25:37.575 We don't have a minute. 00:25:37.575 --> 00:25:40.455 We certainly don't because the sirens are starting to move towards Pistachio. 00:25:40.455 --> 00:25:41.895 Yes. They are. Oh, heck no. 00:25:41.895 --> 00:25:42.855 What are y'all gonna do? 00:25:42.855 --> 00:25:54.620 I want to do rain of blades. Hurry up. Cappy lifts his arm out with the ring on his finger. It glows red, and we are going to spend a hope. Perfect. 00:25:54.620 --> 00:25:57.100 So let's do a spellcast roll. 00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:03.575 Oh, yeah. I see it. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? 00:26:03.575 --> 00:26:07.975 Not not only is it another crit, but it's another crit on tens. 00:26:08.295 --> 00:26:12.455 Just think about all the crits we're not gonna get during big day. No. 00:26:14.375 --> 00:26:15.990 No. 8.3%. 00:26:16.310 --> 00:26:17.190 8.3% 00:26:17.190 --> 00:26:17.910 chance. 00:26:18.630 --> 00:26:25.430 Very good. Incredible. Wow. Go ahead and roll damage. And hey, it's me, GM Isaac Almburns. 00:26:25.510 --> 00:26:36.715 Here to tell you that crits in Daggerheart are treated like brutal criticals. So instead of rolling twice the number of dice or doubling what you roll, you're 00:26:36.715 --> 00:26:47.060 just gonna take the maximum possible value of the dice and add that on to your normal roll. Oh god. So go ahead. Go ahead, Capy. Breathe. 00:26:47.060 --> 00:26:47.780 How many dice 00:26:47.780 --> 00:26:48.260 are you rolling? 00:26:48.260 --> 00:26:48.900 What are you rolling? 00:26:48.900 --> 00:26:50.580 Two d eight plus two. 00:26:50.580 --> 00:27:00.495 Two d eight? So that's gonna be 16 on top of whatever he rolled. So who and so remind three. So did you cast this? Remind me who you cast this on against Scarlet or the or the two that were? 00:27:00.495 --> 00:27:11.950 Well, so, yeah, Cappy reaches out, his ring glows, the blades appear, and he shoots them at whatever one seems to be going at Pistachio the most. Whatever's closest to Pistachio. 00:27:11.950 --> 00:27:12.670 It'd be Scarlet. 00:27:12.670 --> 00:27:27.705 Right? It'd definitely be Scarlet. So as the vision of Scarlet fades and you're left with this nasty anglerfish siren with nasty hand mouths, you severely damage poor Scarlet. And Scarlet, who's not actually Scarlet, does this Oh. Wow. 00:27:27.785 --> 00:27:37.740 Jumps to the ground. You hear a roar from the larger one in the corner, and that's what you hear. But that was a critical? That was pretty good. Argus, what are you gonna do? 00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:39.900 I think that he would they're not facing him now. 00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:41.580 Would be the attacks. 00:27:41.580 --> 00:27:45.180 Yes. They're looking at you. Immediately Nice. With his long sword. 00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:45.820 Oh, do it 00:27:45.820 --> 00:27:49.765 up. Nice. Let's go. Oh, wow. Okay. 00:27:49.765 --> 00:27:50.405 Hell, yeah. 00:27:50.885 --> 00:27:52.165 If you say that you crit. 00:27:52.165 --> 00:27:57.045 I was not a crit. I didn't, but I I may as well have. It's 24 with hope. 00:27:57.045 --> 00:27:58.885 That will succeed. Go ahead and gain a hope. 00:27:58.885 --> 00:27:59.525 Yes. It will. 00:27:59.525 --> 00:28:00.645 Dang. Roll damage. 00:28:00.645 --> 00:28:01.285 Yes. I will. 00:28:03.330 --> 00:28:04.770 17. 17. 00:28:04.770 --> 00:28:05.490 Wow. 00:28:05.650 --> 00:28:09.010 That is a I'm gonna say that you targeted the one that was Oscar and 00:28:09.010 --> 00:28:10.450 then Miles. I think so. 00:28:10.450 --> 00:28:18.265 And as you majorly into this individual, it goes limp and dies. Woah. Woah. There's Three more. Nice. 00:28:18.265 --> 00:28:21.065 You stab in, and that was with hope, so the momentum is still with y'all. 00:28:21.305 --> 00:28:24.665 Where are the smaller ones? The larger ones in the pool. Right? 00:28:24.665 --> 00:28:26.265 Larger ones kind of off to the side. 00:28:26.265 --> 00:28:26.905 Off to the side. 00:28:26.905 --> 00:28:34.450 But their two smaller ones now have their backs to the crystal and are looking at Pistachio. They have not taken a move towards Pistachio but are facing Pistachio. 00:28:34.450 --> 00:28:35.570 Are they close to each other? 00:28:35.570 --> 00:28:36.050 They are. 00:28:36.050 --> 00:28:41.410 We're just Willow's gonna wheel right up towards the two of them. Nice. And we're going to make an attack. 00:28:41.410 --> 00:28:47.410 Roll on up and roll them bones. 14 with hope. The song is off, so that is successful. 00:28:47.410 --> 00:28:50.215 Excellent. So I'm gonna use that sad. 00:28:50.215 --> 00:28:51.495 I was really enjoying I'm that song 00:28:52.535 --> 00:29:09.660 gonna use that hope and spend the hope to use the whirlwind ability, which is when you make a success successful attack against a target within very close range, you can spend a hope to use that attack against all other targets within very close range. All additional adversaries you succeed against with this ability take half damage. 00:29:09.740 --> 00:29:10.860 Say they are very close. Yeah. 00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:13.580 Yeah. So the first one will take full damage, the second one will take half. 00:29:13.580 --> 00:29:15.340 Alright. Just roll it out. Roll that damage. 00:29:16.095 --> 00:29:19.855 So it's gonna be 11. 11. 00:29:19.855 --> 00:29:20.815 Nice. 11 damage. 00:29:20.815 --> 00:29:22.895 No. Sorry. 11 plus nine. 20. 00:29:23.295 --> 00:29:23.855 I forgot. 00:29:23.855 --> 00:29:28.015 Oh. This is important. Oh, okay. The flood it's two d 12 plus nine. So 20. 00:29:28.110 --> 00:29:38.030 Well, you severely hit the first one just ranting through their full chest. Good. And then you, like, nicked the shoulder of the other one. Do you, like, more than a nick, a major nick on the shoulder. 00:29:38.030 --> 00:29:39.150 A major nick. 00:29:39.390 --> 00:29:47.825 Pistachio. That was with hope. And I'm gonna pull it to you. You are on your knees. Your friend's immediately jumping to action, taking these things down. 00:29:48.065 --> 00:29:51.665 But you can see that the one in the corner is still staring daggers at you. 00:29:51.665 --> 00:29:55.460 Alright. Cool. Beast form. Got it. 00:29:55.460 --> 00:30:02.820 And they'll think really hard and they'll start to transform into something they read in our new book, a grizzly moose. 00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:04.900 A grizzly moose? 00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:08.265 A grizzly moose dodo.

Grizzly moose dodo, give it to me. 00:30:16.985 --> 00:30:43.355 So for mechanics, right, it is a powerful beast stat block I'm going to be using, which you can use as either a bear or a moose or whatever you feel like because you're creative. In this case, they grow to the size of a moose with their long antlers coming out huge and in intense and terrifying. But then the maw itself and the claws are that of a bear. 00:30:43.515 --> 00:30:46.235 Oh. Well So size of a moose. 00:30:46.235 --> 00:30:47.675 With the antlers of a moose. 00:30:47.675 --> 00:30:48.395 Antlers of a moose. 00:30:48.760 --> 00:30:51.720 Little, like, teeth and claws of a bear. 00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:53.400 Okay.

Charge it up. 00:31:06.465 --> 00:31:07.345 Do it up. 00:31:07.665 --> 00:31:13.905 Alright. So they're just gonna attack. So let's see.

I know she's getting married. I mean, technically, I'm not really I haven't committed to anyone. I I guess I guess one time probably wouldn't hurt too much. But and I mean, you're getting over your thing and I'm I'm getting over my thing. 00:33:41.490 --> 00:33:45.495 This could be like a mutual getting over other things thing.
