Hello, and welcome to the Queens of Nerd and podcast. I'm Blak, and I play Machitis in our first RPG or role playing game. This is not a dungeon and dragons game, but a home brew game created by a very own doctor awesome, aka Eric, who is the game master. This game takes place in the world of Sariva, and we are currently playing act 1 fallen star. Hope you enjoy.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So you guys head are heading out into the forest. So it's slow moving with the horses and stuff until you reach an area where you can kinda open up, like, where you see it's a little bit less foliage and
Mara (Jenn):As far as the trees.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):This this area, the river is, pretty, low right now, low level. It's also got a lot of blood and trash and all sorts of, you know, like, pieces of wood and, you know, basically stuff from the battles are are washing down river. So it's very easy to cross because most of the river is backed up due to, you know, cargo goods and broken wagons and everything else being in the water. So you guys cross over at no time. When you reach the edge of the edge of the forest, basically, from here, it's gonna be a lot of open land.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Right? You're crossing you're you you've had to go back and forth to try to avoid some of the movements that you see. The monster horde that was beaten, they've all had to retreat, so they're all heading back towards the west. So you guys kind of get close to exiting the forest and then you'll see a couple of them so you head back. You had to cross back over the river one more time because there's a, you'd say probably the largest group of what you've seen of the monsters that are still injured and stuff crossing over.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):But, also, you, everybody had an uneasy feeling when you were right in this area. So go ahead and roll your 2 tens for a chance to perceive minus 15%.
Melody (Tay):Where's my chance to proceed?
Mara (Jenn):I got it. 14.
Dolion (Mac):I did not get
Melody (Tay):75. Where's my chance to proceed?
Mara (Jenn):Character attributes,
Dolion (Mac):2nd column.
Melody (Tay):Character attributes, 2nd column.
Dolion (Mac):Underneath will should be perception.
Melody (Tay):Oh, my chance to perceive is 75. So if I already got 75 and it's minus whatever, I didn't get it.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay.
Dolion (Mac):I think Mara is the only one that got it.
Mara (Jenn):Excuse me, Sheena.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. Alright. So you guys crossed back over the river, crossed back over it again. Now you're at this this obvious crossing location. It's been used many times before.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):As you could tell, it's kind of worn away. So it's very shallow. This is a spot where they like to take wagons and stuff because they know they're not gonna get overturned or, fail fording the river like we all remember from Oregon Trail. So Okay. So here you are.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):And I might have
Melody (Tay):Ah-ha! I am bigger than all of you.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's true.
Mara (Jenn):I'm lucky. It's
Dr. Awesome (Eric):easier to see. Right?
Dolion (Mac):I'm gonna I'm
Dr. Awesome (Eric):gonna make everybody the same size so it's easier to see. Otherwise, it's so you're just taking my word for it.
Mara (Jenn):Don't take my word for it.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh. Man, don't take my word for it.
Dolion (Mac):Reading Rainbow. Reading Rainbow.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Okay.
Melody (Tay):And now you're here.
Mara (Jenn):Still nice.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Hero and I got I got a,
Melody (Tay):I know. It's in my book.
Dolion (Mac):Where's our thunder cat?
Mara (Jenn):Oh. I was really hoping they had a Chitarra with him. Damn.
Dolion (Mac):She's in the, downloadable content. Yeah. Pay for that DLC.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Alright. And, so you guy you guy can all see the map. Right?
Melody (Tay):Yes.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):We're good. We are good. Okay.
Melody (Tay):A new player has emerged. It's death. Oh. Alright. Aim.
Mara (Jenn):I have a
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Mara, you're the only one that, noticed. Everyone else's perception failed.
Mara (Jenn):I'm ready.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So you can see the enemies waiting on the other side of river.
Mara (Jenn):The enemies. I'll point them out to my colleagues.
Dolion (Mac):Mara's like, stop, drop, shut them down.
Mara (Jenn):Alright. Let's see.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So you can point them out to your friends if you wish.
Mara (Jenn):I will.
Melody (Tay):Oh, there's a lot of motherfuckers.
Dolion (Mac):Great value assassins they got over there.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):They're wannabes. They're not even close to
Mara (Jenn):They're great. They're the equates.
Dolion (Mac):They also have catch phrases. Get out of here.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I got to put,
Mara (Jenn):Limber up for the fight.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):One more one more thing, and then, we'll be good to go for what you guys wanna do. You so I'm guessing you've made your your comrades aware, love?
Melody (Tay):I did.
Mara (Jenn):Mara? I did. Yes.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Does that make sense? Yes.
Melody (Tay):Mara love. Love Mara.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Love Mara.
Melody (Tay):The curse of handwriting. A little heart at the end.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Now when they note it when one of them notices you guys looking in their door you know, obviously seeing them from their ambush locations, yells out, you know, you're gonna pay for what you did.
Melody (Tay):The fuck did we do?
Dolion (Mac):Take a number.
Melody (Tay):Can I see the
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Everybody wants a piece of this?
Mara (Jenn):Can I see whenever you're done?
Dolion (Mac):Oh, never mind. This guy's back. Fuck.
Mara (Jenn):Okay. So
Melody (Tay):enhance.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. I'm I'm almost done, and then it'll be time for battle. So hopefully, you guys have come up with your battle strategy.
Melody (Tay):You're not done yet?!
Dr. Awesome (Eric):No Not yet. Okay. Alright battle strategy time.
Mara (Jenn):Alright. Let me, let me have at them first. Let me
Dolion (Mac):I'm following, with battle turns or no?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. You guys gonna set up your battle plan?
Melody (Tay):Yes.
Dolion (Mac):I rolled a 3 as far as turns.
Melody (Tay):And wait. What did you roll? Like the
Dolion (Mac):The the single ten sided.
Melody (Tay):Single ten.
Dolion (Mac):Woah. Didn't even realize
Dr. Awesome (Eric):what's going on. He's got a one. He's, like, the last guy to do anything.
Melody (Tay):I got a one too.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Hours or some shit. Like,
Dolion (Mac):What did lion boy roll?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Let me see. He got a 6.
Melody (Tay):Mara, what you got?
Mara (Jenn):2.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So
Mara (Jenn):Can we also, like,
Melody (Tay):talk amongst ourselves that, like, Mara and I have, like, a bigger area attack rather than Dolion on you crossing the river by yourself and tyring to slice some dudes.
Dolion (Mac):Dolion has some upgrades. He will be fine. So
Mara (Jenn):Let me let me
Dolion (Mac):see here.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):This point, I think the
Dolion (Mac):3 of us kinda and Genjiro kinda know what our abilities are. Mhmm. For whatever reason, I'm just like, I bet Mara's gonna throw some Crimson fire bats out this motherfucking shit. But, that's your thing. You know?
Dolion (Mac):That's your call.
Mara (Jenn):What whenever I need to let you know, like, yo, it's me. I'm just gonna throw, like, a single Crimson bat, like
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Just one. Yes. But,
Dolion (Mac):I think the wildcards would be, Aggravar, since we have not fought with like, we've fought again. We know he's agile as fucking shit, but we don't know everything this man is capable of. This dude's capable of. So
Melody (Tay):And and he got the highest role. He got a 6.
Dolion (Mac):Yeah. So he's going first.
Mara (Jenn):Okay. No. I was saying I could go first, but that's cool.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh. Oh. I thought you're
Mara (Jenn):No. Go right ahead. You're good. You're good, babe.
Dolion (Mac):I mean, if Aggravar wants to seed, because he rolled a 6, I rolled a 3. You got a 2 in, Melody and, Genjiro both ones. So If you wanna tell a, Aggravar I got an idea, because I have no problem conceding my turn to you so you can, you know, do something to spread the, kinda spread them apart so you can, you know, take them.
Melody (Tay):I also upgraded. I have, like, something too. But I'll just do that. Alright.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So Mara is gonna go first then melody then the guys are gonna attack. I
Dolion (Mac):have no problem going last. I'm all for it guys, but, mate, in the little groups and then, me picking off the stragglers.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Sounds good.
Dolion (Mac):Alright, Mara. What you got?
Mara (Jenn):Okay. So I'm gonna cast stone guardian.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay.
Mara (Jenn):And then I'm also going to cast animate stone because I see some stone on the side of the river way. So I'm gonna cast down, animate stone.
Dolion (Mac):Look at fucking Avatar Kyoshi. She doing her shit. I like it.
Mara (Jenn):So, I'll I'll use the stone and use it as like projectiles, and then I'll also cast, command plants. So I see that they're all kinda surrounded by plants, so I'll try to use the plants so I can ensnare them.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Which ones in particular?
Mara (Jenn):The ones with this the the ones in the cloaks, they look shady. They look shady as fuck.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Do you have particular ones you wanna hit?
Mara (Jenn):I'll tell my stone golem to, hit the ones to the north to attack them, and he's got about, 35 SID
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay.
Mara (Jenn):With, 7 turns. And then, and then I'm going to have the command plants on the ones to the south, southwest.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Like these guys?
Mara (Jenn):Right here. Yeah. So I'll see if the plants can kind of like ensnare them, and then I'll kind of do like an AOE as far as like the, animate stone and use it as projectiles. Sorry. Kind of like a cone there.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I'm gonna use, this for ensnared.
Melody (Tay):It looks like one of those things that takes out those staples.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yep. That's what grabbed them is the staple removers. Like, oh, staple remover got me.
Melody (Tay):Those things are sharp, man.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's crazy. Alright.
Melody (Tay):She didn't kill anybody?
Dolion (Mac):Melody, you're up next. Right? Are those all your turns, Mara?
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. That's five. Okay. Yeah. I'm done.
Dolion (Mac):Alright, Melody. Go ahead, girl.
Melody (Tay):Alright. Cool. I'm gonna go ahead and use my lightning storm. Okay. So that's 3 d 12 times 10 times half light level.
Melody (Tay):So that's 75 area. 75 meters of area, all targets versus physical negative 15%. And then it has a slash negative one action. So that's 2 actions, so
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay.
Melody (Tay):Go ahead go ahead and roll my 12 sided
Mara (Jenn):die for that? Yeah. Roll the
Melody (Tay):12 sided. K. Cool. I got a 12.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. 36, 360 times half your level. What's half your level?
Mara (Jenn):5.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):5. So 360 times 5, math in public time.
Melody (Tay):And I'm gonna do that twice.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Not calendar. Like, let me use my calendar to figure this out.
Mara (Jenn):I've got 1836 100. She told
Dr. Awesome (Eric):you 100 times 2. Yep. You're right. 36100. So, divided by 425.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):And then stone guardian takes that dude. Okay.
Melody (Tay):Alright. And then for my last turn, I'm gonna do one tune of rejuvenation, to replenish 250 EPMP.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Sounds good.
Melody (Tay):Alright. That's the end of my turn.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Stones that stones that you're okay. So that's the end of the barrage. Aggravar goes first. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. 3 cultists, elite cultists and 2, death blades.
Melody (Tay):Got it.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So he hits vicious instinct is his attack. So it's, plus 250. So it's 325 times odd is 3 times even it's 4 times because he's using the skill even 4 times. So 350 times 4,
Dolion (Mac):12....1400.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Right? Math in public. Thanks. I'm moving it, man. I'll do it again.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):350 times oh, yep. 1400.
Melody (Tay):1400.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So these guys are 570s , but we took out the 2 archers in the back. Let's see. So that's 2, 1, 2, 2, 3. This guy can't move, so he's dead.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So, yep, that's all his moves, but he took out 3 to archers.
Melody (Tay):Alright, Dolion. I hope you're ready.

Dolion (Mac):Alright. We're gonna roll with the, the shadow walk, and I'm going to appear, behind, this the dude dressed in black kinda to the northwest over here. Yep. And then, once I get behind him, I'm a roll with the spinning backstab, which does double damage and strikes 2 to 3 opponents with one action. Must be undetected, assuming I'm undetected with Shadow Walk.
Dolion (Mac):Correct?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yes. Am I putting you in the right place?
Dolion (Mac):No behind the dude on the path. Yeah. And will I be close enough to strike the dude in front of them with the spinning backslash or should I
Dr. Awesome (Eric):yeah, if you come right here? Yeah. Yeah, we'll do that. I'll hit both of them
Dolion (Mac):Cool. And we got a 15 on that one. Word? Whoop. So plus 2 to hit, negative 20 enemy defense, and plus 15 to critical.
Dolion (Mac):Am I rolling for critical here?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yes.
Dolion (Mac):Chance for critical is 14 or 40 plus 1050. The weapon adds plus what? Plus 20. So I'm sitting here looking at what? 60, 70 percent?
Mara (Jenn):Of me.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. Yep.
Dolion (Mac):And I rolled the 9.
Mara (Jenn):Woo hoo. Wow. It's like butter.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's straight That also did a critical strike across him, but Right. He doesn't take any, you see the dust and stuff come off of him.
Dolion (Mac):Oh, no.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh, shit. You recognize you recognize him a little bit better as the guy that was from sewers that split the pillars. Yep. I know you originally thought that it was the judge that you killed.
Dolion (Mac):No. Not the judge. I thought it was, Lysander.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Well, Lysander. I mean, you thought
Dolion (Mac):it was Lysander. Yes.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. This now that you're up close and you could see him, I mean, he's decayed, so it's hard to make out. But this is definitely Darius, your captain. The guy or the lieutenant that was under you.
Melody (Tay):Is that the dude?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh. He was stabbed through the heart in the battle and died,
Dolion (Mac):and then
Dr. Awesome (Eric):he wants part of your son. So you thought it was Lysander, but it's now that you're close enough to see him, you're like, this
Dolion (Mac):is the story. So fuck him anyway. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):It just clarifies that who it is.
Dolion (Mac):Oh, he took the gas.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You cut right through him, and I mean, it's you can see the gas open up and, like, the dust and stuff come out, sort of like Okay. You would think of, like, a mummy, but his skin just comes back together again. Kinda like like His skin dead. Weaves itself to yeah. So critical stripes and stuff aren't gonna be the the way to go.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I mean, he did take damage. I need to know the damage you do because, I mean, you can do enough damage to take him out. Whether or not it kills him permanently though is different story.
Mara (Jenn):What other magic do you have? Wait. Dolion, what what other magic do you have?
Dolion (Mac):Oh, Oh, bro. That's it. Shadow walk, bro. I'm not I don't have flame.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):No. But that damage that you just did with this this spinning, backstab was Oh. Could be enough to take him down because that was hit that hits, and then it was double damage your weapon plus
Dolion (Mac):Plus 15 critical. Well, it was supposed to be, the critical. I rolled under for the critical.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah.
Dolion (Mac):So the damage, for the weapon I use for slash is, 125 times 2, 250, and then the spilling bonuses, didn't give me any extra bonuses to my, damage. But I got bonus damage for my, under my character combat information that's plus 30.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So 30 plus the weapon plus and double damage. What's spinning add to it?
Dolion (Mac):The spinning is double damage. So the spinning backstab, double damage.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Quadruple damage then.
Dolion (Mac):Alright. Yeah. We'll do that then. Abracadabra.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So 30 plus the weapon plus your strength plus so that
Dolion (Mac):should be Slash is 125, just basic, the basic weapon damage. Okay. Quadruple that, that is 500, and the bonus to damage is plus 30, so 530.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's 30, so it's 155. And you said 125 is the base damage with the those?
Dolion (Mac):Yep.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So one that'd be 155.
Dolion (Mac):Okay. So that was 4? Yeah.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):6120? 120 damage. Alright. You still have turns, man. He is in a defensive posture at the moment.
Dolion (Mac):Right. I would like to hold on real quick.
Melody (Tay):No. Cameo.
Dolion (Mac):But that was 2 actions. I've got 2 left. Let me go ahead with the is he able to be decapitated? Yes or no?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yes.
Dolion (Mac):Alright. Let's go with the throat slash then. Alright. Where's my big 20? We got 14 on that so no chance to decapitate.
Dolion (Mac):Sorry. And the critical
Dr. Awesome (Eric):goes up a defense anyway, he dodged. So right. He only has 2 defenses left. Alright. So he dodged.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I got
Dolion (Mac):1, one action left. I will shadow walk back to the side where my friends are at and get the fuck away from this guy.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):And,
Dolion (Mac):I'll shadow walk behind Mara and that will end my turn.
Melody (Tay):Alright. Did you just dip out?
Dolion (Mac):Oh, fucking quick set.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So, Dergus, your guys favorite dagger thrower comes to the edge of the water and does his leaping barrage of blades. 16.
Dolion (Mac):I know.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You guys can block or dodge. Hold on.
Melody (Tay):You already know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna use my evasive routine. Alright. Get the fuck out of there.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So evasive routine, Melody basically is not getting hit by projectiles. So you 2 have 5 projectiles coming at each of you.
Melody (Tay):Like Can I
Dolion (Mac):5 bags?
Melody (Tay):Can I do my shit? Nope. I don't have enough of EPMP. Wait. Hold on.
Melody (Tay):Yeah. I do. I have just enough. Perfect. Can I use my barrier of lightning?
Dolion (Mac):Yeah.
Melody (Tay):Okay. Cool. I'm gonna use my barrier of lightning, so they don't get shot at. It's 3 SID times half level for one turn times 1 fourth level.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. So all his daggers hit that.
Mara (Jenn):Yeah.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So he does a like, ninja vanish. Poof. Don't. And back He's
Melody (Tay):gonna walk too?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Mara with a 15. So you you can't block or dodge that, Mara. Now Dolion could try to block for you. Defend other is the skill.
Dolion (Mac):Do I have that skill?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You don't have that skill, but for some reason you have the ability to defend other.
Dolion (Mac):Can I use parry?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yes. So you can block with your blade. It's a negative 10% to block, but you can block and defend other.
Dolion (Mac):So my block is 80 negative 10, so that's 70. Is there any other, I wanna
Dr. Awesome (Eric):see if your weapon gives you a bonus. It might negate the negative. So that's a double negative.
Dolion (Mac):Bonus to defense is 10.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So yeah. So you have no negative then.
Dolion (Mac):Alright. roll. Go red, 80? Yep. 14.
Dolion (Mac):I got you, girl.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Ping. You block it and, you you feel a strange that strange sensation again. Almost like, the spidey sense, the tingle. Okay? Yep.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I need you to roll the four sided die and let me know what you get.
Dolion (Mac):Gotta roll this pyramid.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. It's still fun to roll.
Dolion (Mac):I got 4.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh. Alright. So, strangely when when Dolion blocks that guy's blocks, Durges' backstab, there's a burst of, looks like smoke, but it's shadow. Both of you disappear and you land up over here and, you notice that he does have a wound on him. It's wound on his right right shoulder like where he where you carried his weapon.
Dolion (Mac):Right. It's
Dr. Awesome (Eric):like it the blade went a little bit further and actually cut his shoulder. So he stands a little bit back for me, but he seems a little bit surprised. But I mean, he's wearing a mask, so you don't know how surprised. You can't see the o face or anything.
Dolion (Mac):You say his eyebrows just go up?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Mister Poco.
Melody (Tay):No it's Shaq.
Dolion (Mac):Cool. So we're back on Mara's turn then?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yep.
Mara (Jenn):Okay. Really? Where'd this fucker come from?
Dolion (Mac):Who? That one.
Melody (Tay):That's Genjiro.
Mara (Jenn):Okay. Good. Alright. I was like, what? I'm like, can you start moving this some other dude towards me.
Mara (Jenn):I was like, is
Dolion (Mac):I gotta change I gotta
Dr. Awesome (Eric):change the icon for him.
Melody (Tay):No. No. No.
Mara (Jenn):You're fine.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Icon. So I
Mara (Jenn):was like I'm trying. Is kinda threw me off for a second. I was like
Dolion (Mac):Just that. I'd be like, they told me what you the whole time. What you talking about?
Melody (Tay):The the plan
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I got voted off the scene sometime when I wasn't paying attention. Yeah.
Dolion (Mac):That's kicked me off the cliff and didn't do shit, man. Like, I'll be I'll roll it to you all the time.
Mara (Jenn):So, I'm gonna cast,
Dolion (Mac):Do it. Say it.
Mara (Jenn):command plants on Darius and hold him in place, and then I'll cast soul entrapment.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. What's his negative to to to, magic resistance for soul entrapment?
Mara (Jenn):50%. Oh,
Dr. Awesome (Eric):yeah. He did not resist that.
Melody (Tay):K. At all.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So you do you you're drawing on it, and you feel like it's very far away. It's not local. But he definitely sees the difference. Like, he he can't move because of the plants.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You're pretty sure he's gonna get out of that because he's skilled with the blade, but he seems to be in pain when you're doing his soul entrapment. But it seems to be pulling from very far away. So it's not like right next to him. Or you're not getting it directly from him.
Mara (Jenn):So I'll I'll tell him I'll speak to him, telepathically. I'll say, I see that you're not in control. Do you want help? Your soul is not your own. I can feel it.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):There's only one hope for me and that's to do as the master says I must kill Dolion's son.
Mara (Jenn):I'll pull harder on his soul.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. He falls down. You could tell now he's trying again to resist magic, so he might be able to break it. But he pulls a second sword out, but it's with telekinesis. A sword blade comes up from behind him and splits the plants and stuff and then comes to his hands.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So now he has 2 swords, and he does a distant slash. Alright. It misses misses just pat it just just barely misses you guys. Genjiro does a counter attack. He does, Rising dragon.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. Genjiro misses. A lot of missing going on. Woah. But now he's over here.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So he comes directly across and does Disrupting he chained disrupting and disabling strike and goes for Melody. Great. Alright. 18, you have a negative defensive defense. Rushing, disabling, and disrupting strike.
Melody (Tay):Wait. Can I, like yeah? Can I can I try to use my my active ability of a evasive routine? Just like Duck dodge.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Duck dodge. Duck. Yeah. You're gonna dodge. You can dodge, but it's not a
Mara (Jenn):The
Dr. Awesome (Eric):evasive routine is for projectiles, so it doesn't really work on.
Mara (Jenn):You gotta scream while you do it though.
Melody (Tay):Okay. So I can't use my, like, back flip?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. You can do back flip.
Melody (Tay):But I'm trying to block right?
Mara (Jenn):Gymnastics routine.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. If you wanna dodge, you could do back flip. But remember, you have a negative 15. So what does back flip give you a bonus to dodge?
Melody (Tay):It just says 65% reset combat. Must reroll initiative.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh, okay. So you get under 65 and you and you can reset combat. When that means basically dodge to attack, but you're you're gonna be a distance away, so it resets the the comp the the
Melody (Tay):I got a 66. Oh,
Dr. Awesome (Eric):not good.
Melody (Tay):It didn't make it.
Mara (Jenn):Oh. Is Darius near me?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Well, he's yeah. I mean, about 10 feet away or 3 meters years. We're gonna have to settle on feet because
Dolion (Mac):Yes, please.
Mara (Jenn):That's fine.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):It's getting a little bit far.
Dolion (Mac):To our international audience, we're sorry.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):We're doing our
Melody (Tay):best in the
Dr. Awesome (Eric):national audience.
Dolion (Mac):Just pull up the conversion chart on your phone and and and play along.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright.
Dolion (Mac):Americans, it's what we do.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So he disrupt the the disrupting strike basically means that you can't do magic for 3 turns. He also cuts you across your leg with the disabling strike and splits the right where your, the side of your knee. Oh. But the other sword comes in on the inside of your thigh.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Roll under roll under 40% to make sure that he doesn't cut your artery or
Melody (Tay):Girl. Right over Oh, man.
Mara (Jenn):Girl, use some of them sword skills, yo.
Melody (Tay):You said you just roll.
Dolion (Mac):Mara's gonna go ape shit if you start bleeping.
Melody (Tay):I got a 26. Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Smells like So somehow instinctually, you grabbed your sword and you blocks in between. Okay? So it doesn't cut open your your artery, but it at the same time, you it draws a sword up, so he cuts across your arm instead. Better to be bleeding here though than bleeding from your your inner side. You'll bleed to death in, like, a round.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So you're bleeding and you've taken a total of 925 damage.
Melody (Tay):Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You cannot move for 2 turns and you can't do magic for 3. You could tell he's going for a kill move if he can. So now everybody's gonna have to roll initiative again. Hold on.
Mara (Jenn):Dolion, it's gonna be your turn, dude. I can't do anything. I'm pulling I'm pulling on a soul. Where's initiative? Gotcha.
Mara (Jenn):I got that.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's as far as that's as close as, Aggravar can get. Dinjiro already used his actions. So, Dolion or everybody roll your initiative again.
Dolion (Mac):I got 7.
Melody (Tay):Wait, is it just 1 Except
Dr. Awesome (Eric):for Melody. Melody, you can't move or do magic so
Melody (Tay):Yep. I'm dead.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):What'd you get Mara?
Melody (Tay):4.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay, so roll again.
Mara (Jenn):Me? 9.
Dolion (Mac):No. Mara.
Mara (Jenn):Okay. 9.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh, 9? Okay. So it goes Dolion, Mara, Dergus, then, Darius, then Genjiro, and Aggravar is out of attacks.
Dolion (Mac):Okay. I'm gonna use my last little bit of EPMP to Shadow Walk back over to where Melody is at. Okay. And what do I got here?
Mara (Jenn):It's Shadow Walk like
Melody (Tay):this. I do one of these.
Dolion (Mac):Just imagine Darkwing, Duck, like, his purple smoke not show up. Yeah, my poof.
Melody (Tay):I love it. Oh shit.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):It's the man of my clock.
Dolion (Mac):My last little bit of 75. Dangerous. I'm going with another throat slash. Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Let's cross our fingers.
Dolion (Mac):Yeah. Do I use the new die? No. These these have been good for me. I'm not switching up now.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. Here we go.
Dolion (Mac):Alright. 18 on that one. So I got a chance to decapitate. Alright?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yep.
Dolion (Mac):Chance to decapitate, plus 15. The weapon gives me a plus 5, and so what's that? 20 on top of the 30 for my chance to decapitate. Alright. Alright.
Dolion (Mac):Let's see what we got here.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You might be saved, Melody.
Dolion (Mac):Hey, don't or I could just let him do that based on the fact last time we thought you just let this dude play dance me to death, but
Melody (Tay):Hey, man. Did you not see my barrier of lightning? I have improved my skill set for you.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):She did barrier of lightning to protect you guys. So
Dolion (Mac):Don't don't don't don't don't do that. Don't do that. Don't come to her defense.
Melody (Tay):I realized where my shortfalls were, and I have surpassed them.
Dolion (Mac):You're at 46.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh, I sent you that dagger too. Right? Melody? Did you get the dagger I sent?
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. But I can't move.
Dolion (Mac):Oh, and he's decapitated. I was at 50. I rolled a 46.
Mara (Jenn):Oh,
Dr. Awesome (Eric):okay. When you decapitate him, he falls down into pieces, kinda like, if Frankenstein, if somebody ripped the stitching out of Frankenstein. Its portions and pieces and organs and stuff fall apart. Now his head is laying there and his eyes and mouth are still moving, but there's not much going on. Between that and Jenn's soul entrapment, he's about to wash away down the river.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Do you guys wanna keep his body or stop it from washing away or what? Anything?
Dolion (Mac):Yes. Mara is going. Mara is just going in.
Mara (Jenn):Just I got a bag.
Dolion (Mac):You wanna keep all the all the peoples.
Mara (Jenn):I love dead things. Let's keep it. Okay. I'm gonna get in my bag. On my back.
Mara (Jenn):I will cuddle him and I will call him George. I will hook him and squeeze him and call him George.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. You guys hear a thunderous clap. Boom. Boom. 2 of them.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright? The first one hits Genjiro and knocks him into the river. Dude. The second one hits Dolion with a 20. Hold on.
Dolion (Mac):Oh, you got damn.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. He is like, damn. That was on the big guy if you do. It was like, holy
Mara (Jenn):shit. You got the big chunk? Oh, shit.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. The big chunk hit a man 20. Like, there.
Dolion (Mac):I mean, that oh. Yeah. I have no EPMP. I'm like, let me get into the defensive skill. Never mind.
Dolion (Mac):I don't have any EPMP. So
Melody (Tay):I was about to play some songs.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Well, if if it wasn't a 20, I would still let you try to dodge or something. Yeah.
Dolion (Mac):I think that's one of the 10, bro. Just chalk it up to the game. Saving friends. That's what happens.
Melody (Tay):Because you gotta have friends.
Dolion (Mac):That's fine. How many who's had them friends? I wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it over, Melody.
Melody (Tay):Okay.
Dolion (Mac):You're lucky you're some kind of super goddess. That we need.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So 425 times 2 is 850. That's my damage. Hold on. Yeah.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I gotta see if there's
Melody (Tay):Still less damage than I got.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Whoo. 850, you lose 2 actions, and you're gonna take a 100 damage per turn until it's, the, whatever that is, gets pulled out, you know, the bolt the bullet Yeah. The round gets removed from you. So you'll take a continual hundred damage until it's gone. So What can I do with a shotgun?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):And with a rifle.
Dolion (Mac):By who? Somebody in a tree somewhere? Son of a bitch.
Mara (Jenn):Well, it's
Dolion (Mac):a nightmare.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):As long as the it's not as long as a firearm as the rifle, but it's close. But because he landed the hit, he lands another hit on Genjiro that's for it's. So he has 850 damage too. So you see Durgus is dropping out the shell and putting another shell in.
Mara (Jenn):Durgus.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):And it is now Mara's turn, I believe. Are you done are you done with the dead body, Mara? Are you gonna
Dolion (Mac):Mara? Are you there? Yes.
Mara (Jenn):I have the pieces.
Dolion (Mac):And fight this fucking dude,
Dr. Awesome (Eric):please. Durgas has had it out for Dolion on since he is doting on and I will kill him if I whatever I gotta do. Plus, you I mean, you guys got this map. Bro.
Dolion (Mac):Yeah. He out here with the blickey. Yep.
Mara (Jenn):Can I Don't you not want to?
Dolion (Mac):I do. But, I mean, it's a fucking pistol. It's not gonna reach him where he's at there.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. You can.
Dolion (Mac):You should have
Melody (Tay):at least 50
Dr. Awesome (Eric):or go ahead. What are you doing?
Mara (Jenn):Can I roll my monster creature lore to see what creatures are in the woods?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's gonna take a little too long before he reloads and fires again.
Melody (Tay):Fucker.
Mara (Jenn):How far away
Melody (Tay):is the worms?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):He's not far. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. He's only 8. I mean, most of you guys move at least close to 8. Right?
Mara (Jenn):Okay. I'm gonna use my wand and use the, flame whip and whip it towards him, see if I can grab one of his limbs and pull him.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. I'm gonna put you within range of that. Should be what is it? Range 3? Does it say?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Sure.
Mara (Jenn):So that's got a bed of a 25 meter range.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh, okay. You can hit him from way back here then. Okay.
Mara (Jenn):K.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. I I I count every square as 5 meters total. So it's 5, 10, 15, 20. Yeah. You can definitely hit him from right here.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So
Mara (Jenn):So I I got him. Can I roll
Dolion (Mac):to try
Mara (Jenn):to grab yeah? Can I roll? Yeah. What do you want me to roll? 20?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):The 20 side die. You have 3 actions. Right? Yeah. You're trying to hit the rifle and take it away from him?
Mara (Jenn):I'm trying to roll to, like, grab him and pull him towards me.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. You can also go you could still see where cut his arm, and he's still bleeding pretty bad. That's probably why he's not throwing daggers anymore. He's doing the rifle because it's easier. You just gotta put a bullet in and fire.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You know what I mean? He's not trying to throw daggers a 100 yards. You know?
Dolion (Mac):Take his fucking arm off.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Then he can Roll the 20 side of that. Have a negative 2 to hit, so any bonuses to hit, figure that out.
Mara (Jenn):I got a 15.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. Hit. You wanna do more than 1 or just 1?
Mara (Jenn):I'll do another one.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. Now now you hit. So you wanna try to grapple and pull them? Or
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. Let me pull him.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Roll 20 sided. See what you get.
Mara (Jenn):6.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. You got it on his arm, but it's not you're not pulling him.
Mara (Jenn):Can I flare it?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. How much damage did you do?
Mara (Jenn):300. That's just the whip.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So it'll be 600. Willie, with your, with your weapons, how much damage does the, would the lion of the west do with a slash?
Dolion (Mac):It does 125 with a slash. 125? SI.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yep. Okay. Alright. So between that, where he was already cut, basically it was like a shadow shift is why when he, a it's a move of safari skill. Shadow shifting, you hit from the shadows, so it does more damage because you can hit from multiple locations, and it can't be blocked.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Like, that's why when he put his arm up, you still cut him when it went through, and it moved him. With that with that wound, it's basically like a double damage 250, and then you did 600 damage more to that arm. You pull his arm right out I mean, pretty much all the flesh off from below that cut.
Dolion (Mac):Oh. Yes.
Melody (Tay):He got degloved?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. So you see a lot of his muscle tissue and bone and stuff, and he falls on the ground screaming.
Dolion (Mac):Finish him.
Mara (Jenn):Finish him.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Do you have one more action left?
Mara (Jenn):I do or Dolion does?
Dolion (Mac):You do. You do.
Mara (Jenn):So he's not going to fucking up. He's near
Dr. Awesome (Eric):me. Nice.
Dolion (Mac):No, you didn't pull it towards you.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah, you're doing that. You weren't able to pull him. You pulled part of his arm, not him.
Mara (Jenn):Oh. I'll just do a size or I'll do a acid blast then. Do we want them alive, Dolion, for any reason? Can I melt can I melt him?
Dolion (Mac):First of all, you're asking me, like, I thought you collect everybody. Like, what are we doing?
Melody (Tay):Well, he's bad. Do you want me to murder him or not?
Dolion (Mac):The person who wants to kill my son and take his heart, you want him alive in your bag.
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. He's a very interesting interesting specimen.
Dolion (Mac):But then everybody else should, like, kill. I mean, I guess.
Mara (Jenn):Do you
Dolion (Mac):I don't want to keep him alive. Like, what what what this
Dr. Awesome (Eric):are you trying to knock
Dolion (Mac):him out to ask him some questions? Like, why did you shoot my boy? Do
Mara (Jenn):you do you want me to, like I want him gone. Okay. Alright. I'm gonna cast acid blast.
Dolion (Mac):Okay. Oh.
Melody (Tay):I got 8. Oh, God.
Dolion (Mac):I guess he's still alive.
Mara (Jenn):No. He's not.
Melody (Tay):Hold on. 7.
Mara (Jenn):That can't be right. 8. That's not right. Standby. I did 600 damage.
Mara (Jenn):And he's gonna take 400 damage every turn for 7 5 turns.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay.
Dolion (Mac):Until the end of time.
Mara (Jenn):Whatever.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. He falls over on the ground. Just laying there as he's burning and, Aggravar is right there. So Aggravar comes over and just stomps on his head until it's mush.
Dolion (Mac):Damn. Alright. Somebody take this bullet out of me. Alright.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Melody can't move. Genjiro picks up, Dolion, brings him to shore, and Aggravar meets up with Mara, so you guys can come are you guys gonna just all come across on this side at least? You're heading the right direction.
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. Let's go in the right direction.
Melody (Tay):I don't know how to move. How do I move?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Aggravar could pick you up. Okay. So you guys successfully made it through the forest ambush. Mostly, you guys noticed those were the guys who, were either remnants of the cult or in some of them were, daggers of vengeance. The the step up for the daggers of vengeance, like, their death squad or the death blades.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So if you wrong them and they feel like they need to get revenge, they'll send the death blades. But you guys smoked most of them out in the first onslaught of action. So, really, Durgus was one of the only ones left. He belongs with the daggers more. The cultists are all dead now, and then you have Darius.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Darius is a very weird, you would say, construct of necromancy. He's some sort of construct created like a flesh golem, but his soul's gotta be entrapped somewhere else. Problem with that is, yes, this body that they made of his decayed parts, they could do it again. So at least you have his parts, but someone still has his soul trap somewhere. So, and he keeps referring to the master, but now he's not even gonna be able to speak.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):He's he's in pieces. So, and at least there's no more threat to to Dolion's son from him anyway. Because Can I
Melody (Tay):look at
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Go ahead?
Melody (Tay):Genjiro? Can I look at Genjiro at this point, and since he has, like, protection spells, can I ask him like, I can speak at least? Right? I can't move, but I can speak?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah.
Melody (Tay):Can I ask him if he can take a look at Dolion to take that bullet out of him?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):40%. If I get under 40 percent, he can remove the bullet from Dolion. That was a 20. That's why it's so bad. I mean, normally, it would, you know, he could have been hit but not as severe.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. He says we're gonna need to, be somewhere where we can camp and not be mobile. Okay. If you want, we could do that now. We can camp here because otherwise, he's gonna continually bleed
Dolion (Mac):and I mean, we got cleared here and all that stuff. So it's just probably
Mara (Jenn):best place
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I can.
Mara (Jenn):We can Okay. That, spell I cast, it took a lot out of me, so I wouldn't mind not rest him for a spell. Yeah.
Dolion (Mac):You guys wanna drink fresh water. Boo.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Aggravar is gonna go ahead. He says he's gonna scout the area, make sure that there's not no one else, no other ambushes. Genjiro starts helping set up the the camp and, make a fire, get ready to take this, bullet out. The only reason that Genjiro is better for or okay and doesn't need the bullet removed is because he fell in the river. And that doesn't sound it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but the iron dragon that he is your that the spirit comes from the mountain river back in the eastern lands.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So there's certain things for spirit folk if they come or spirit warriors if they come in contact. Like, if they're a plants and they're in a bamboo what do you call it?
Mara (Jenn):Forest? Forest. Forest.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Bamboo for yeah. There you go. Then they heal better. Same thing for, like, if they're a river spirit or whatever. So he heals better at the water.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):It's the only reason that he didn't have a problem with the bullet. So Gotcha. You guys set up camp. With the camp set and the fire going and stuff, he's got a 60% chance to remove it. 15%, he removes the bullet.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):After the rest, it'll probably take a little bit to heal up, but at least the bullet's out. We're gonna have to take note of that and be careful. Remember, now that we're wanted by people who have a lot of guns, we've got to understand how these things work and, yeah. Sure. They're not they're not like magic or anything, but as you see, they can be very effective.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):And that was just one guy with hat or a sawed off rifle. This is like so Yeah. They gotta we gotta be, aware.
Dolion (Mac):We need some of those.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Well, you can you have one. If you wanna pick it up as a proficiency, you just have to spend a 10,000, and we'll add it to your character sheet as firearm, you know, in there too.
Dolion (Mac):So so the acid blasted just melts everything this man had on him or no?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):A lot of it, but I mean, the the rifle's still in pieces. I mean, it could be fixed. You guys would probably have to take it to someone who could put a new stock and everything on it, but the steel portion is still there.
Mara (Jenn):Don't be mad.
Dolion (Mac):I'm not.
Mara (Jenn):You said you said you said I could. Don't be mad at me.
Dolion (Mac):I'm not.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I'm just I'm just
Melody (Tay):Are there any other bodies around that have anything on them like weapons wise?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Bows and stuff. Everything you're seeing is of good, maybe, better or, you know, great quality, but you would say it might fetch maybe 10 to 15 gold pieces for the bows. And then the the short swords and stuff are a good quality, so they probably get you, like, 10 if you wanna carry all the stuff. Now money wise, what you do see, you wanna just kinda go through and see what you can find?
Melody (Tay):Yeah. But I can't move. So, like, I can't now. That would've been Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. It'd have been 3 turns by now. You can move.
Melody (Tay):Okay. Sweet. Yeah. Let me look around to see Okay. To see what I can salvage.
Melody (Tay):I'm not gonna take those bows or short swords.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. You find, 205 gold total.
Melody (Tay):Alright. Obviously, I'm taking that.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You find some, rounds for the firearm. Firearm needs to be repaired, the rightful one. You're not sure these are the same rounds that'll go in the one that, Dolion has or the one Mara has. Mara has a firearm too. So collect the
Dolion (Mac):the whole time?
Melody (Tay):I will grab the rounds.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. You find 5 rounds, so it's good to have.
Melody (Tay):Yeah.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Aggravar returns and says there's no there's no sign of anyone else from this, this group that ambushed us. I don't smell anything or he said the firearm smell is strong, but there it's moved off. So it could be imperials or whatever, but remember, they are they are they have a bounty out for you, so you've gotta be careful.
Melody (Tay):Okay.
Dolion (Mac):So Does,
Melody (Tay):Genjiro have any type of, dressings or bandages?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. That's
Dolion (Mac):Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):But he says he used it on Dolion. He says you have, but you have a cut on your arm too. So let me see if that's the last of what he let me check.
Mara (Jenn):Do I need to feed?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You didn't take any real wounds. You should be No.
Mara (Jenn):I think Genjiro looks kinda
Dolion (Mac):and I'm
Mara (Jenn):gonna go for some sushi.
Dolion (Mac):Can we figure out why she didn't take any damage or run the tape back of the, the battle. Sorry.
Mara (Jenn):You looking sideways at me, Eve.
Dolion (Mac):Do I need to feed for health? Oh never mind.
Mara (Jenn):Oh never mind, I'm stuffed. But I don't need
Dolion (Mac):You're fine.
Mara (Jenn):I don't
Melody (Tay):need to use my tune of rejuvenation because we're all resting and we're all gonna, get back up our stuff. Right?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. Yeah.
Melody (Tay):If I remember correctly, we still do have bandages and dressing in my bag. We did not use those.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay.
Melody (Tay):And we grabbed extra no. We still yeah. No. We still have the bandages and dressing in my backpack, so I still have some. So I shall use that.
Melody (Tay):I shall get them out of the bag and hold them up to somebody so they can dress me accordingly. Help me.
Dolion (Mac):We'll let Mara do it some nurse.
Melody (Tay):Why do
Mara (Jenn):my character's not a nurse?
Dolion (Mac):I feel
Dr. Awesome (Eric):like she
Dolion (Mac):knows she has nurse tendencies.
Mara (Jenn):So eat people.
Dolion (Mac):In a previous life.
Melody (Tay):I mean, you can see where it's bleeding. You can at least just that in my leg. Right?
Mara (Jenn):Right. I'm gonna get it. You're making faces, Eric.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay.
Melody (Tay):If Genjiro doesn't have anything, then I I will use what's in my bag.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. That was the last of what he had was for he used, for Dolion.
Melody (Tay):Alright. Cool. I'll hold up the bandages and dressing to Mara and ask her to help me address the wounds that I have since she is the most abled bodied or Genjiro , whoever will help me If she cannot
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. You guys take your time and with what bandages you do have, you can patch up Melody's arm. Once again, you are surprised by the fact that, the Dolioin's wounds and Melody's wounds do not seem to be, causing you any sort of thirst.
Mara (Jenn):It's not causing me thirst? No.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. Aggravar comes back with a small doe and drops it, skins it, and starts prepping it for eating for you guys by chopping off its hind legs and putting it over there for, you know, with the fur and stuff removed. He said, so you guys have some food, and he's gonna eat the rest of the body because he doesn't cook.
Mara (Jenn):Right on.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):But at least you guys have some fresh food. So fresh food, you guys get, plus 200 and, 250 life force back. Get a little bit better rest. You're on your way to healing for your wounds. That's what you guys have already bandaged everything.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Now you're eating well, so, wounds will start to heal better. You guys feel pretty safe because, like I said, most of the stuff is moved on from this location. Aggravar says once we break through the the tree line and we head out just past the road, he said I could smell it. You guys probably smell it when the wind changes, but there's a large battlefield that we're gonna cross between here and, the caves. It's mostly empty now, but we still have to be cautious especially for looters or, you know, anyone coming by to pick up stuff like we when Melody was looking through everything, there's people that just come by to collect weapons and armor off the dead and just sell it for whatever they can.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So we may run into that out there. Aggravar says the main thing is I'll be I'll be constantly scanning for it, and he says, Dolion can, sense, sense for ambushes as well. Ghouls will show up at battlefields. Right? Because ghouls eat the dead.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):They eat the flesh of the dead. So battlefields usually draw them in. And it's hard to pick them out because they look dead, and they're amongst the dead. So they're easily they can easily surprise you in a battlefield, an old battlefield. So we'll we'll tend to that.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I I he says, I don't think
Dolion (Mac):we should just hit it at night.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):We kinda stand out in an open field if we were using lanterns.
Melody (Tay):But we're resting here for the night? Or
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. I don't think we should head out now because going into that battlefield at night, we're gonna stand we're gonna it's your decision. I just don't think it's a it's a good move for us.
Mara (Jenn):No. We can wait until morning.
Melody (Tay):At dawn, we shall ride. Do you still have our horses?
Dolion (Mac):Yeah.
Mara (Jenn):Oh, really?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Because I completely forgot about them, so, I can't take them away.
Melody (Tay):Ayyyeee.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):If I would have said something earlier like, oh, hey. The gunshot and everything, the horse has to go, nope. I missed that. So you guys still have horses. You have 5 horses.
Mara (Jenn):They're just like
Dr. Awesome (Eric):They do yeah. They're just over there eating carrots and shit. It's like
Dolion (Mac):They ain't shooting at us. They're shooting at Dolion. So
Dr. Awesome (Eric):It was a good show. It was a fight right here. I don't like it. Your horses and you guys are able to get rest. Who wants to take what shifts?
Mara (Jenn):I'll take 1st. Okay. Since I'm not injured.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. All of you are resting. Mara, roll the 10 sided dice.
Melody (Tay):Oh, man. I can't find it.
Dolion (Mac):Green or a fucking werewolf. Anything of the
Mara (Jenn):I got 5.
Dolion (Mac):Oh, my gosh. Here we go. I have faith in you.
Mara (Jenn):Don't don't bring the dark cloud. Gosh. Positive thoughts, people.
Melody (Tay):No. I'm just saying, oh, because we're over here and you're sensing something, so you have to roll. So
Mara (Jenn):I I so hope I think it it's who I think it is. I so hope it is.
Melody (Tay):Is it your dad?
Mara (Jenn):No. I hope it's even better than that.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So you're you're awake. Aggravar is asleep. Genjiro is slightly awake. You guys are asleep, resting.
Mara (Jenn):Mhmm.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):It it got a little colder at night, so everyone kinda scooted closer to the fireplace. So you guys are all pretty close to
Mara (Jenn):Shit.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Close together. Damn it.
Melody (Tay):It's not what you wanted.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Everybody but Genjiro is pretty close to the fire. Genjiro is sleeping next to the river with his legs in their water. So
Mara (Jenn):No. I failed. I failed.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Melody, you're awakened, abruptly by the sensation of something biting you right on the on the the neck. Right? It's it's painful, but also in a way, it it's a what do you call it? Enthralling or I don't know the word that you would be best to describe it.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Since it almost a euphoric sense. Even though you know you're in slight pain, you're also dazed and Euphoric? Yeah. Slightly euphoric.
Melody (Tay):Okay.
Dolion (Mac):Do you want
Dr. Awesome (Eric):that lettuce?
Melody (Tay):Yeah. Can I can I scream or anything? With it biting my neck, or can I at least, like, thrash my arm to see if there's anybody, like, around me that I can wake up
Dr. Awesome (Eric):to help? As you as you move your arm and stuff, you're now your arms are on top or grabbing on to Mara as she's biting on your neck.
Melody (Tay):Oh, great. Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Roll the 2 tens real quick.
Melody (Tay):Yep. Am I trying to get high or am I trying to get low?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Low. Get Low.
Melody (Tay):Yeah. Low. Alright. Cool. These 2 then.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Little John would tell you.
Melody (Tay):Get low. Get low. I got a 23.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So you noticed that, Mara seems slightly different as her eyes are solid red, and her hair on certain or on the front part of her hair is all, like, stark white.
Mara (Jenn):And
Dr. Awesome (Eric):she's very pale. She lets go of you, but there's still energy flowing from your neck into her mouth. And she's telling you to be calm, like, it's okay. And she's kinda just caressing the side of your face, which makes you feel really relaxed. You're, like, I feel so relaxed.
Melody (Tay):I'm still not okay with this.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Well, now you you got you rolled well enough to where you can kinda you can get off get up and get her off of you if you want.
Melody (Tay):Yep. That's exactly what I'm doing. Be like, yo. What the fuck are you doing?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. Now roll your chance again, Mara. Oh. Stop eating your friends. Stop it.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Bad, Mara. Get a get a water bottle out.
Melody (Tay):No. Can Genjiro, like, sent this commotion as he Now
Dr. Awesome (Eric):he will. Yeah. Okay. Before, it was everything was peaceful.
Mara (Jenn):Yep. Failed it again
Dolion (Mac):till I got the
Melody (Tay):same damn thing last time.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. I rolled an 18. Genjiro comes and picks up Mara, pulls you away, takes you to the water, and jumps in. So immediately, you wake up. You now have a 65% chance, Mara.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):He's like, wake up.
Mara (Jenn):Can I start making out with Genjiro? Yes. I got it this time.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You might be a little scared. Okay. So you come you come to your full senses. He'd be a little scared. He just watched you try to eat your friend.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So it'd be good. It'd be a awkward make out session. What?
Melody (Tay):What?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Am I next?
Dolion (Mac):I'm in the event. Okay. You're next.
Mara (Jenn):So the
Dr. Awesome (Eric):whole camp is kind of awake now. It's predawn maybe an hour or 2 before you guys are supposed to wake up anyway. Aggravar wakes up and, is kinda startled, but he he stands in between the 2 of you. You see you feel okay, Melody. You feel like more of your energy was drained, but
Melody (Tay):I thought you said you weren't hungry.
Mara (Jenn):I wasn't.
Dolion (Mac):Do I need to feed? No. You good.
Melody (Tay):You good.
Mara (Jenn):However
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. What you what the one thing you can sense, Mara, is that how much how much EPMP do you normally have, Melody?
Melody (Tay):We usually have 1600, but right now I have 800.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay. So the energy that she was giving off was equivalent to if, What would be equivalent to 6400?
Melody (Tay):Yeah. That checks.
Mara (Jenn):It was at night.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Very good. 500 experience points.
Mara (Jenn):That's why.
Melody (Tay):Care to explain? Because I thought something completely different.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Well, basically, just now you had 6,400 EPMP. That's why it triggered Mara to feed
Melody (Tay):But
Dolion (Mac):you had that much EMP. Girl, what you doing?
Melody (Tay):I don't normally. What do you mean?
Mara (Jenn):So if you if you go back, Let me read this because Dolion doesn't know.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's not me.
Dolion (Mac):From from saving my friends.
Melody (Tay):No. No. No. No. No.
Melody (Tay):So cut.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You're waking up with a bullet wound. You're like, stop eating each other. I didn't try to save you, friend.
Dolion (Mac):I just go back to sleep, man. It's just crazy.
Mara (Jenn):So if you remember, Melody's mom, lady whitehawk, k, calls Melody her child of the midnight moon. She is the midnight gift of the moon. She is the your darker half left you to me. So to me, it makes sense that you're stronger at night if you are the daughter of the midnight moon.
Melody (Tay):Okay.
Dolion (Mac):So you feed on EPMP? That is
Mara (Jenn):Normally Normally, I feed on blood, but I'm not craving blood. I'm craving energy. So when she's putting off that that energy, I was like,
Melody (Tay):this
Mara (Jenn):smells like chocolate?
Dolion (Mac):Just smell like chocolate.
Melody (Tay):It's like dark
Mara (Jenn):chocolate, midnight chocolate. Range,
Dolion (Mac):but, so that's gonna be a normal thing. Just every night, you're just gonna get people
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Dolion's like, you can't camp with us. Again.
Melody (Tay):I know. There are gonna be 2 people that are our watches. It's not just gonna be you anymore.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I'm not allowed for watches anymore.
Melody (Tay):We're gonna have
Dr. Awesome (Eric):to bring a a trunk with us everywhere. Mara has to climb in and lock it up.
Dolion (Mac):Does this negatively impact, Melody? IE, life force goes down and all this other stuff?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Actually, it didn't affect your life force, Melody. You feel fine. It's just your energy.
Mara (Jenn):What?
Dolion (Mac):What's the shard?
Mara (Jenn):What what phase is the moon in right now?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):500 experience points. The moon is full, but not okay. Here's the part that's hard to understand. Jerai is full. Okay?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):That's a moon that you guys normally have. But what'll happens also every it would be about every 3 weeks to 5 weeks is Lunaria, the sister planet, the one that doesn't see daylight.
Mara (Jenn):Right.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Okay? Is is a new moon phase, which is like a black full moon.
Mara (Jenn):You
Dr. Awesome (Eric):understand? Like, new moon means planets in the way. Planets always in the way for Lunaria, but Lunaria gets the middle of the sky as a full black black full moon once every 3 3 to 5 weeks dependent.
Mara (Jenn):So it's it's new moon for Lunaria.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. New moon for Lunaria is what's behind Jirai, which is really strange. Like, it's not always an occurrence. Jirai is supposed to be full. You guys were told Jirai was gonna be, high in the sky for the next however, Jirai is a full moon, but right behind it is a big black moon, which is actually not a moon.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):It's Lunaria, which is the sister planet that never sees the daylight.
Dolion (Mac):So the moon cycles, they're not like they're not opposite. So when it's a full moon with Jiraiya, the other one is not a new moon. So this is like a rare occurrence.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. It's a rare occurrence. Exactly. 500 spirit points. Good idea.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Or good good catch. It's a very rare occurrence.
Dolion (Mac):See, like, no matter so it's only this rare occurrence where Melody's powers increase. Like, anytime it's night and the moon is out, she's not getting a slight buff to her EPMP?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):She might. Yeah. It might be something to track. Might be something to see. Like, maybe if you're gonna have to have a conflict, try to get it to where when the moons are in the sky.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):You know what I mean? Yeah. Or watch the the phases of the moon. Obviously, the phase of Lunaria is big on on your, power level.
Dolion (Mac):Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Alright. So,
Melody (Tay):While I was asleep, did I, like, encounter Arianna at all? No. Okay.
Dolion (Mac):While we're at this campfire, I would like to show you guys kind of, what was happening at Ballenforth before I was fucking whisked away.
Mara (Jenn):Whisked away. Are we
Dolion (Mac):in the campfire
Melody (Tay):season? Do you wanna put the campfire up?
Dolion (Mac):No. No. Not yet. Not yet.
Mara (Jenn):Okay. Okay.
Dolion (Mac):But, some wild shit back there. You know? Little bit of this.
Mara (Jenn):Glad you got whisked to wait. What? Not yet.
Dolion (Mac):You know? Wait till you see this next one. Hold up. It's all my shit coming through. You know?
Mara (Jenn):Is that Gith?
Dolion (Mac):And then
Mara (Jenn):Can I roll can I roll my wait? Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Mara (Jenn):Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Mara (Jenn):Hold on. Let me roll my lore. Wait a minute. I know that dragon.
Dolion (Mac):I'm not I'm not clicking it anywhere. Hang on. Looks like Spiro.
Mara (Jenn):I got it. Is that Gith?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yes. As ancient shadow dragon be the, god of the Savari people.
Melody (Tay):A lot of actually what you're showing is stuff that I've already seen that Arianna has shown me, but I did see a black knight. Did you see a black knight?
Dolion (Mac):With 2 swords?
Melody (Tay):One sword. Willie. And wings.
Mara (Jenn):And different.
Dolion (Mac):That's that's old buddy. And,
Mara (Jenn):yeah.
Dolion (Mac):My swords don't do that, so I'm glad to, be away from there.
Mara (Jenn):So Willie, go back to the dragon. So his name is Gith. He is a ancient shadow dragon, a safari dragon.
Melody (Tay):Mhmm.
Mara (Jenn):You saw him in your dreams?
Dolion (Mac):Yes. So I don't know. When
Mara (Jenn):my And,
Dolion (Mac):Varius was talking to me, he gave me the the the message that, you know, your son's not here, it's not good for you to be in the town, something bad's about to go down, and he showed me those visions.
Melody (Tay):I have a couple more.
Mara (Jenn):Be careful when you travel through the shadow when you shadow walk. Because
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Shadow walking is basically, like, stepping into the shadow realm or the yeah. Shadow realm.
Melody (Tay):Oh, is it like Frodo when he puts on the ring?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Bingo. That's a good example. 250 experience point. Think of it like that when Frodo goes in there or think of it like, doctor Strange when he steps into different dimensions. Mhmm.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):The shadow the the safari realm, the shadow realm is is a mirror of this realm. Okay? But everything that's light is dark. Everything is so think of it like a negative, like the picture. I know theirs don't exist anymore, but back when you used to take rolls of film and you get the negatives, negative was always the opposite of what it looks like here.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So everything that was dark was light, light was dark. Bingos, their is their realm. Okay? The god of their realm is Gith, the ancient shadow dragon. Okay?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):He is an elder elder god. Okay.
Mara (Jenn):So sorry.
Dolion (Mac):Bless you.
Mara (Jenn):Thanks. The the last time that we were playing, we came across some beings called the Darkin. Be careful when you go through the shadow realm when you shadow walk because it's not going to work on them. They'll still be able to see you. So the the biggest way that I can, that I notice them is that they will have normal eyes and then they will have, like, another set of eyes on their head.
Mara (Jenn):Okay. That you may be able to see. Sometimes it looks kinda purple because when those I
Dr. Awesome (Eric):was just gonna say the the Darkin for the, for the most part hide inside of a human host. The only way to know is when it's if they are shrouded in darkness, you'll see the other set of eyes above their eyes. It's like glowing eyes that appear just on their above their other eyes. Right. Alright?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):But they'll look normal. They'll look like a human, but they're not a human anymore. But they come from that shadow realm, the dark of you. They almost obliterated everything in that shadow realm. They ate they destroyed everything.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So they try to come through to the prime material or the your guys' realm, the mortal realm
Mara (Jenn):Mhmm.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):And whenever they can. But they have to have a human host unless they reach a certain level of power, then they can step out in their true form, which looks completely different. But, I could show you a picture of what they're gonna play. I'll show you what that is.
Mara (Jenn):I'll tell you more when we campfire.
Dolion (Mac):You want a campfire at the end? Cool.
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. I'll tell
Melody (Tay):you more about it. Now do you want me to hold off on the images that I saw then?
Dr. Awesome (Eric):No. Share.
Melody (Tay):Yeah. Okay. So I saw this image.
Dolion (Mac):Jesus Christ.
Melody (Tay):This is the what I thought you were talking about. So, when Arianna was talking about bringing you to the forest, She sent me a couple of images. This was one of the images was this dude.
Dolion (Mac):Mhmm.
Melody (Tay):And then I'm gonna show you the other image that I was, like, Interesting. It was this one.
Dolion (Mac):Oh, she bad. Nah I'm playing.
Melody (Tay):So this is the other image, and I thought it was interesting because we were just talking about, like, moon stuff.
Mara (Jenn):Mhmm.
Dolion (Mac):Was there any explanation of it or she just those images just
Melody (Tay):No. Yeah. They were just flashes of images.
Mara (Jenn):So wait. Wait. Look at that. Hang on a second.
Melody (Tay):You want my show it again?
Mara (Jenn):Bring it back up. Go back to what your mom was telling you.
Melody (Tay):I don't I don't think I wrote down everything. I wrote down most things.
Dolion (Mac):Did are
Melody (Tay):you talking about like the dark side of
Mara (Jenn):me? Yes. That would be your dark. Look at her. Now it don't doesn't mean evil.
Mara (Jenn):It just means dark.
Melody (Tay):So a
Mara (Jenn):moon a moon has two sides. Right? The new moon and the full moon?
Dolion (Mac):Mhmm.
Mara (Jenn):So she would be the new. She would be the dark. Right?
Melody (Tay):Yeah.
Mara (Jenn):That's that's my what I think. Let me let me see if I can find what Remember lady White Hawk calls you her child of the midnight moon. Midnight gift of the moon.
Mara (Jenn):Your darker half left you to me. So you think this is my darker half? Yes. Okay. You are the light half.
Mara (Jenn):Mhmm. I think that's why Arianna calls you her sister Because Seriva made made all of them. Like, Lunaria is Seriva's sister.
Melody (Tay):Okay.
Mara (Jenn):And Seriva made Arianna and all the elder gods. That's what I think anyway. So she came in the night and left you there. So if you think about it, you would be the If if my my theory is correct, you would be the avatar to Lunaria.
Melody (Tay):Okay. So okay. So not the whole child of light thing that we thought of before or
Mara (Jenn):You would be, just not the child of Seriva. Okay.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. The record of the ages will hold more information about Lunaria.
Mara (Jenn):Yeah.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):But when the creator created all things, he had 2 daughters.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Seriva and Lunaria
Mara (Jenn):Eric, Willie's here.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Oh. Hi. I was just I was just explaining that in the beginning, the creator had 2 daughters.
Melody (Tay):Dark and light.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Seriva and Lunaria. Both were permitted to create worlds in their, you know, ideal, however they viewed it. Lunaria created her world, and Seriva created hers. Problem was somebody interfered with Lunaria because he was a a celestial named Decimus, And, as he watched the worlds being created and the mortal lives being created and everything, He was having a bit of a a crisis between him and the creator. He felt that the creator gave a little bit too much freedom and everything to the the people and that they didn't deserve what they had, but it wasn't his call.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):He's just a celestial. The creaters, you know so anyway, he went to Lunaria, not directly because Decimus likes to do things. He's known as the deceiver for a reason. He whispered and so forth to her. Like, oh, look.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):The creator seems to pay more attention to your father pays more attention to Seriva's creation. Oh, your father does this, and, eventually, Lunaria was, like, hurt. So she decided to give in to some of what Decimus was suggesting. And when she did so, it led to attacks on Seriva's peep Seriva's world. So the creator punished Lunaria by making it that her world would never see the light of his sun again because he's the sun, the eye of the creator.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):He would never look upon her world again, so her world is always behind Seriva's when they rotate around the sun. She never gets to see sun. So her people froze. Her world froze, and it's like a moon. It's like a giant moon behind Seriva.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Right? Some of her people survived. The Lunarians live a lot underground, okay, on this ice planet, but they're very technologically advanced, and the reason is is because when the doom of the ancients happened here on Seriva, the Lunarians didn't have that because they were still recovering from the time they invaded Seriva's world, and then they were all punished. Then they moved underground. They never built the doom machine.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):The ancients on Seriva got to a technological advancement point equal to the Lunarians, but then they created the doom machine. And that thing wiped out like 90% of life on Seriva when they used it. So they've had to rebuild, and they don't have that technology. The most technology they have is stuff you see with the Obsidian order, where they have airships, you'll see occasionally the thing that looks like a tank. You know, they have some technology, it's either steam driven or uses gems like the the magic gems to power, But the Lunarians still have way advanced stuff because they have synthetic life forms and so forth.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):So that's the ancient ways, but that's Lunaria's story. Lunaria has since not done anything wrong, but she's always considered duality. She's the goddess of night. Okay? She's light and dark.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):She's also the goddess of music. Alright? She's the goddess of serenity and sleep. Okay? Now she's basically been outcasted by her father, and she lives on her world and takes care of her people the best she can with not being able to see light and so forth.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):But if you look at the situation, be it right now, Seriva has a serious lack of, higher power being able to afford any help. Okay? So it was theorized before Melody and Mara were theorizing on Seriva. Child of light is born. The chosen were born.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):They they reach a level to where they can face evil and try to stop it. That hasn't happened in a while. So if that's not happening, and Melody has caught on through talking to her adoptive mother that she was brought here in the middle of the night by her darker half, So there's a lot of stuff to piece together there, but between being called a sister from Arianna, who is a sister to sister goddess to Seriva, that may be part of the reason why all this is coming together, like little dominoes.
Dolion (Mac):Little dominoes. I like it.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):I like it. Okey doke. I also shared the picture of, the darken for in their true form for Dolion because he didn't get to see it.
Melody (Tay):I'm gonna stop. Go ahead.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Y'all fought these? 1.
Mara (Jenn):They weren't they weren't in their true form, though.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Yeah. It was inside of a a host.
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. They're a little bit
Dr. Awesome (Eric):weaker with their Are they weak? Okay.
Dolion (Mac):Alright. That's just a
Mara (Jenn):Yeah. They're weaker when they're in a house.
Dolion (Mac):It looks like bad news.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):Them to get to the point where they come they come out in full. They when they're in true form and they're out of sight of a, body, the only thing that can cut them is black steel. Unless you have a black steel weapon, which the come the composition of your weapon tells you what it's made of. If it doesn't say black steel on it or celestial steel, it won't even wound them.
Mara (Jenn):It's like
Dr. Awesome (Eric):the it'll break on them, basically. Yeah.
Dolion (Mac):Lion of the West black steel.
Dr. Awesome (Eric):There you go. That is a badass weapon.
Dolion (Mac):My wife gave it to me.
