My, my notes for last session, we missed every attack.
All right.
That sounds good.
Just make us sound more heroic in your notes.
They're extremely analytical.
Uh, he doesn't mention the fact that no one could hit a
fucking broad side of a barn.
How kind?
So we are starting this new session with a variant rule in place,
and it's one of my favorites.
We'll be working with the stamina subsystem.
From the Game Mastery Guide from this point on, and part of the reason why
I have elected to use this is because stamina just helps players stay up.
Longer, get up faster, have a little bit more control about when they
recover without always needing to have a ton of heel spells,
a ton of heel, potions or wand.
They're kind of just able to pick up and go.
How do you all feel about that change?
I mean, I, I've never used it before, so it's, it is a new, new thing for
me, so I'm looking forward to playing with it and learning how it works.
Same.
I'm super excited.
I like, again, I really like the Starfighter stamina system, and
this sounds similar, but different, and I'm excited about that.
You're telling me a person who builds characters for fun, one to 20 in
his downtime, gets to fight more stuff easier and not have to spend
a bunch of downtime activities.
We're doing with this.
Yeah.
I'm getting, uh, fourth edition vibes.
It reminds me of like the pace of play of fourth edition where all you have to do
is take a 10 minute rest and then you get.
A fair amount of HP bag, but I think talking about fourth
edition d and d is like hearsay in, in the Pathfinder community.
So, you know, we'll just move right past that.
You said fourth edition and then I just heard a loud ringing in my
ears for the rest of your sentence.
Ah, it's cursed tracks.
Ben Abode, 47 23, leaving seven arches for the Wildwood.
We've been informed there's possibility of awakened animals
entering the woods themselves.
It feels like there's eyes watching us everywhere distance.
There's supposed to be a clearing massive stone notches plus it around the gate.
Now, I suspect this is the real seven notches, not the one.
We experimented with in town.
We were attacked by a group of Tema gear, only two in number, some sort
of Fay, shadow hounds, eye sockets, empty, able to eat darkness and jump
through shadows of living creatures.
I blasted the last one through the eye and sent it flying.
I noticed in the direction it flew dead grass was starting to move more
direction faster than it should be.
Physical, able to be seen by the naked eye.
Let us move away for our time being and get a chance to focus, reload
our weaponry, mend our wounds.
Something's going on and I intend to find out what, hopefully a bit less violently
this time than with the TEMA gear.
But if it comes to it, well those dogs will put down well enough folks.
We can put down more.
So we start this session with you all having healed yourselves up, given
yourselves resolve points now to varying degrees and reset your HP so that it's
divided between stamina and hip points.
Now Freya, you and Varien are still wounded, but you are up
and you are able to now see the hazard that is coming towards you.
All of the grass vegetation is starting to die in a straight line.
It is like a wall of just death coming towards you.
It's expanding out from the center of the seven arches where you can see from
this vantage point there are fires.
Set up torches and some kind of podium, but from this distance, you
can't get too clear of a view on it.
But that is far from your immediate problem right now.
As the wall starts to get closer, you start to hear this little bubbly
sounds almost, and as it gets closer, you start to see what looks like.
Static as tiny pinprick sized bits of darkness replace the
material plane before moving away.
And as each one of these appears, the vegetation around it dies.
So how are you all reacting with extreme confusion as I look around and try to.
Think of anything I might have read back when it was at the arcana
that may explain what is going on.
Baron's mind is just going to Temi Geba based in darkness, Faye relation
of sorts, they were found in the area.
Constant reports of these sorts of things appearing must be tied one way or another.
And just going through his mind and his notes of what could be
related, essentially creating a mental red string board.
Sure.
Uh, what about Vin and Mia Mia?
Kind of looks around and she, even though she's in her human form, she
really, she gives the air a very good sniff and VIN running in circles.
Panicking.
All right.
I don't have a specific one for you.
So Mia and Vin, let's have you roll perception for initiative.
Well Fray.
You can roll Arcana and Verin.
Dealer's choice on the kind of knowledge check to roll for your initiative.
In this case, if I can't do esoteric lore, just trying to tie this to
something he might have on his person to deal with this weird darkness,
that's probably gonna be nature just to, all right, relate it to Faye.
I'm really good at running in circles, guys.
I'm that 20 at running in circles, so you want me to go with
esoteric glory nature on that.
If you're able to select esoteric from the Initiative Tracker,
I can Yeah, absolutely do it.
That's a, that's three higher than the Nature check, but I roll to
one, so it doesn't really matter.
I'm really lost in the conspiracy board in my mind.
So Vin and Mia, as Frey and Veen are walking throughout their mind, palaces,
trying to uncover information about this.
You are here in the real world.
And are able to react accordingly.
What are you doing?
Let's start with vin.
Okay.
Okay, so this field is what is what we're looking at?
Yes.
Let, let, what I was hoping the running in circles would prevent me
from having to come up with an answer.
Let's, you know, they, they say that the best way to stop
a fire is to start another fire and burn out the area in front.
I.
So what happens if I light a fire to meet this light in darkness?
What if I add lights to this weird field thing?
So that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna light something on fire.
Okay?
What kind of skill do you want to use for that?
What is the panicking and running in circles skill as?
I just light random shit on fire.
I mean, you are on fire.
I think it's just stop, drop and roll.
I know that's normally the opposite of what you should
do, but in this case, yeah.
Could be crafting.
You know what?
I was just thinking of the stupid magnifying class and just using,
or the middle of a dark forest.
I don't think it's gonna work.
I'm fire.
That's gotta do something.
Yeah.
I will roll a crap.
I guess I'll roll a survival check.
I think that that's applicable here.
Okay.
All right.
That's a nine on the die for a plus zero for nine.
All right.
You try to fight whatever this is with fire and it doesn't work.
The death that is happening to all of the grass and bushes and other vegetation.
It isn't because it's burning, it's because the life is
being sucked out of them.
It's only in effect and not the cause or fuel.
So that we'll go to Mia.
Oh, I'm not ready.
Okay.
First off, I'm going to make a little mad dash and try to find some cover.
That's what I'm gonna do.
You're gonna find cover.
I'm gonna find cover can like.
Oh wait, I'm solid measuring tool.
Whoopsie, whoop.
I'm gonna find cover right there.
Mia is going to pop back into her fox form.
Okay?
It's easier for mobility purposes and she's much smaller.
So much smaller target.
All right.
As you do that, I will give you a plus one.
To the fortitude save that you will all need to make now.
I'm sorry.
How didn't you get to go yet?
The wave gets closer Until now.
The vegetation is starting to die around you, and the popping sound
is becoming increasingly louder.
You can all feel that there is negative energy impacting your bodies.
Then that is a regular success.
So you are unaffected and immune.
Mia.
You are also unaffected and immune as you succeed from your hiding place.
Whether Freya and Rin, you both fail as a result, take five points of force damage.
And if we take damage, it immediately goes from our takes from our stamina first.
Yes.
Cool.
Well that wipes out my stamina.
Baron just barely catching himself from falling off his
feet as he feels this hit him.
Just still racking his mind of what he could possibly use.
Not having come to a solution yet.
The line of negative energy continues to flow, and we'll be
around you for a little bit longer.
Freya, what are you trying to do?
I am going, I wanna spend the my first action to make, make an acana check, like
recall knowledge or anything like that.
Okay.
Got a 14.
You think you are on the right track.
You're looking at this and think that there is some kind of strain
happening between the plains.
It's affecting living creatures and the forest clearing.
You might be able to, will it back into firmness and disable it for an hour,
or if you have dispel magic, you might be able to end the effect permanently.
I do not have dispel magic, but do what I know what is necessary to suppress it.
A good enough check would do it.
Okay, so knowing this, go back and sort of say to everyone else, it's just, I believe
if anyone else can, you know, access arc cane energies and knows anything
about them, I think we may be able to suppress whatever this is temporarily,
at least until we can get rid of it.
And I'm gonna go back and I would like to make an check to attempt to suppress
this, sort of gather up my arcane energy and use that to suppress this.
Absolutely.
Mm-hmm.
For a 19 as.
You're saying this and encouraging everyone else to join you
in helping to put this away.
You imagine putting this back into where it needs to go and the magic dissipates,
but only temporarily, and you're able to continue into the seven arches.
Just put it in the box and it will stay in the box.
For a little bit and then we'll put it back in the box.
I look in my pack for a box.
Me like makes a box shape with her paws, like I make a box shape with my hands box.
I pull out the lunchbox.
Harry just kind of looks over.
I have a backpack.
He's got one hand in his vest and looks like he's pulling out
what's essentially a massive key ring that doesn't have keys on it.
It looks like it has a bunch of different pulley symbols that are
just tied onto there, roughly.
It just puts it back away.
Well, it seems you handled that nicely enough, won't be needing those.
Push forward.
See, see what is going on.
It takes about 10 minutes from the time that you reach the outer diameter.
Of this effect to be able to get into the seven arches.
Giving you enough time to refocus or even use one of those resolve
points to get stamina back.
Yeah.
May as well get a resolve point.
I'm already getting slapped in the face.
Hurt a little bit.
Resolve as you get into.
The seven arches you see a terrible site.
The seven arches of gray, brown basalt loom around the center of the forest.
Clearing.
In the middle is a crude wooden altar carved with vines.
A unicorn is tied tight to the platform and BLEs deliriously upon the altar.
Despite two lines of lit torches around the altar, shadows
clog the area like thick mist.
Standing next to the unicorn is a dwarf wearing similar garb to the rest of
the oak stewards that you have seen.
Next to him is a large goat sized spider purple with yellow stripes all over it.
At the head is bolin man, that you are here to stop you, has a
mask on Golden with leaves coming out of it, looking almost like
a vegetative sun mask as he is.
Injecting something from the spider into the unicorn.
He looks at you and says, you are too late.
The ritual is almost done.
I only need a few more minutes and I can course correct this madness.
Vin Vin Ronson weapon out.
Save the unicorn in run zone.
Yeah, I think I heard somewhere that.
Killing a unicorn is bad luck.
So definitely should do that.
I'm, I'm, I'm very much with our fire friend, so.
All right, so you guys are jumping right into initiative.
Yeah.
We're just gonna jump right into initiative.
This man is murdering a unicorn and it must not stand.
Mm-hmm.
Alright, go ahead and roll for initiative then.
Bolen begins saying, Doon.
Key, our guests distracted.
Soon the ritual will be complete and I will summon an even more powerful curse.
The ritual is almost done, and I will summon the curse even more powerful.
The abate curse one that will not just target the elves, but the dwarves,
the men, the women, the lizard folk.
Y naughty, all creatures that ruin nature will finally be put at rest.
Boland is a dwarf, right?
Elon is a dwarf.
We heard his name once and there's only one other guy here, so I'm
assuming with that he summons a Faye.
I swear if I see a pug mpy up here on the board right now, I'm gonna scream.
Oh, will you?
Now the worst enemy Paso has ever made.
The scars from first edition exist.
Well, okay then.
Thank you for letting me into your nightmares.
As a ppy is summoned onto the field and it'll take the same initiative as Bolen.
The next creature is the dream spider.
It creeps on top of one of the seven arches and then shoots a web at Mia.
It's just rude, man.
Just rude.
That totally.
Oh wait, is it?
That's a crit.
That is a crit.
26 is a critical hit.
Yeah.
That hurts.
Which will not do damage to you.
However, you will become immobilized and I believe actually
restrained with a critical hit.
I also need a fortitude saved from you.
Sure.
Put my life down.
I say 12.
This is my life.
Some of the venom.
Of the spider travels along in the webbing and causes you to become stupefied.
One can't cast spells fudge knuckles.
You can.
There's a flat check for it.
Yeah, that's it Makes it very hard to cast spells.
That's awesome.
It also hurts your wheel save.
Great.
I love this for me if while stupefied, if you try and cast, you have a DC five
plus your stupefied value, flat check.
That if you fail, you expend the spell slot and do not cast a spell.
Cool.
Great.
Awesome, awesome.
For reliving this.
Mm-hmm.
It then starts to lift up your body in the webbing 15 feet into the air.
Varien, seeing this thing start to.
Just grab Mia immediately.
Balin, we could have talked this out.
You would've had a chance to explain what you were doing, perhaps gain
more allies, but you've immediately gone to tactics of attack.
I know more about the, you guys were the ones who wanted to jump into initiative.
Shut up.
No, no, no.
I said nothing about charging it, and I'll have, you know, save the unicorn.
It's just like un unicorn.
Save.
Something, I'm sleepy.
Your allies seem to be far spread and many, but unfortunately
it seems like you've decided this to be your ultimate goal.
I, there's so much I would wish to learn from you in this event, but as it so
happens and just level the gun and fire a shot off at the spider and we'll do
a, we'll do an exploit on that first.
Alright.
We'll see if we can figure out what's going on with M as I'm
trying to monologue this guy a little bit to get him talking to us.
That's step one, an esoteric lore on the spoiler.
For a 20, you know exactly what this is.
This is a creature called a dream spider.
They have a iridescent cue to their webs, which are infused with the
same hallucinogenic compound as the creature's toxin originally
denisons of tropical jungles.
Dream spiders have adapted well to tempered environments, particularly
thriving among the rooftops of city where shady alchemists use their venom
to produce a drug known as shiver.
It doesn't have any particular weaknesses as a spider, but you don't want to
get hit by the web as it seems to have caused Mia to become a little high.
I'm not, uh, it'll just get the personal antithesis, which just means
I get plus three damage on the sink, essentially triggering a weakness.
But it's one that I say it has, which is it has a weakness too.
As this gun comes up, the other hand comes with it and just hangs
a dream catcher off the side of his thumb where the gun is being held.
Oh, dream spiders.
They can get caught in webs too, and fires off the shot at this thing.
This thing hits a weakness too.
Bullets, dream catchers.
Everything has a weakness to bullets.
You take your first shot and it ricochets off of the ancient elf arch.
It's just gonna take another one at this thing.
It's got m a, he's just gonna unload as fast as he can to
try and get her out of there.
But a four on the die for the second one.
Just two quick shots off.
No luck.
Alright, VIN, saving the unicorn.
Are you?
Ah, I run to unicorn.
And it, it's being held down by vines.
You said, or you said a vine table.
Vines and rope.
Yes.
Yeah.
Vine table.
But vines are a good way to hold it down.
Yes.
I run to the table and I start cutting vines.
As you do, you enter an aura from the little gremlin that has been summoned.
I'll need a will save from you.
You must roll it twice and take the worst result.
This is why I hate these little bastards enrolled in 18 and a 12, so it gets a 12.
All right, so that will fail the save, so you become unlucky.
While in the aura.
You will need to roll twice on all checks and take the worst result
as long as you are in the aura.
Okay?
Putting myself right next to how, how large, how large is the aura?
The aura is 20 feet around the pug wapi.
Okay.
It's pretty big.
I will be in the aura as I'm trying to free this unicorn.
So I guess my third action is interact wildly fling vines.
Okay.
I'll have you make two unarmed attacks and you'll take the worst
result in 18 on my low roll and, and if the 18 is the low roll.
That is still good enough to get you one success.
Okay.
The unicorn struggles against the vines and you can see that
its eyes are wide and wild.
I might regret Mia.
Me Mia, like has this whole time been spewing just incoherent, babble.
About liking being in the sky and how it feels comfortable, and she's
kind of used to it, but will try to retract her claws and kind of like
scratch if she can her way out.
Okay.
Just make me a, either acrobatics, athletics or unarmed attack
to try to escape from the.
The webbing, we're going to do acrobatics 14.
A 14 unfortunately does not beat the escape DC for the webbing
as you remain tied in the webs and dangled close to the spider.
It's just that I can do this all day.
It's fine.
I'll get out.
Like I said, be in the sky.
Are old friends.
We, I spend many time up here.
It's cool.
It's whatever.
Try again.
You can try again.
You did not critically fail, so you, you didn't try again.
It does have, have the, yeah.
Multiple attack penalty, so you'll have to do it at a minus five.
Yeah.
I would recommend using, probably if you have unarmed attack, unknown attack
might actually work pretty well for that.
It still has the penalty either way.
Yeah, true.
Well, but I mean, uh, you, you're untrained in acrobatics so that that is
your rolling at a minus if you do that.
Yeah, we'll do.
Do an unarmed change.
'cause right now my unarmed is at a five, like a plus five.
I didn't even realize that.
I hadn't looked at 21.
You scratch out of the webbing, falling the 15 feet, taking five
points of bludgeoning damage as you land prone, but free.
She just kind of like shakes her head.
I don't that spider's jerk will beat you up.
Still kind of do easy.
All right, well you still have one action left in.
So instead of standing, can I just kind of like scoot back first?
Yeah, you can crawl.
Yeah.
Like a five foot step.
Yeah, definitely.
Uh, you'll remain prone.
That's fine.
All right.
Go ahead and crawl away.
All right, Deon, the DN oak steward is not so fast bloody.
But he also has to make a will save for the pug, swampy, critically succeeding.
He rolls twice and takes the worst.
That's right.
That's true.
He could do it again.
And 18.
That is still good enough to beat the DC at least.
So on a successful save, it's temporarily immune for un unlock aura for 24 hours.
So you'll not need to take a penalty as he throws an acid flask, actually.
Hmm.
Going to have him cast shale.
On himself, giving his staff the benefits of a plus one striking weapon, and then
he tries to hit you with a staff vin.
Oh, as it is a natural one.
Critical failure.
So we move on to Freya.
I am going to look over at Baron and just being like, do you have the spider?
I'm doing my best.
I don't want to get in the middle of things too quickly, but seeming
like me, I may need some help that we've got plenty to deal with though.
I, so I'm using my first action to start running up with my blade at the
ready, and then once I hit that first action, my second action is, is gonna
be to dive into dimensional assault.
To move behind.
So the first section is to move, and then going to move half my movement for
dimensional assault right behind Daon.
All right, so you have also stepped into the unlock aura, so
go ahead and give me a will save.
Cool, cool, cool button.
Yes.
There's the button for a, I know this is roll twice and take the worst.
Yes.
Okay.
That'll be an 11.
All right.
And 11 will also fail.
So you are also impacted by the unlock aura.
Fun.
So I'll make my sword strike twice and take the word roll against Daon.
You now see why a rational hatred of these things.
Yep.
Does a 15 hit.
15 is so close but does not hit ah, flatfooted because of flanking.
He is flatfooted.
He, so yes, a, his flatfooted AC would be 14.
Yes, a 15 would hit, and that is going to be three damage to him.
And I will spend my last action to go into arcane cascade.
Okay.
As I pull this swirling.
It's sort of almost blade of leaves that is circling around
me, right is now Boland's turn.
He can see that this is not going to plan, so he is going to move here 20 feet away
and is going to do a two action conation.
For thorns around him, all of the dead plant life that has been
caused by whatever effect this ritual is causing turns into thorns.
Those who move through it will need to make a basic reflex save.
That is all for him.
The dream spider doesn't wanna let its prey go so fast and is going to
strike at you Mia with a web attack.
Of course another critical hit, so I need a fortitude saved from you.
Don't think the problem that we're rolling so bad.
I think it's just Pete is rolling.
So good.
All right.
15.
Is a failure against the fortitude save.
And so you get stage two where you take one D six poison damage as
well as continuing to be stupefied, and it spends the next two interact
actions that it has to pull the web.
Back towards you and up can, can you just answer me a question?
Sure.
Am I pretty?
She just looks at the spider like, why do you like me so much?
I don't understand it.
What did I ever do to you?
And the spider talks back to you.
As you see that it has these big googly eyes that the sky above you
is no longer dark and twilight, but it's kind of oily rainbow color.
It says, oh, I just love you, Mia.
I want you to be close to me.
I don't want to be close to you.
Danger, danger, danger.
Real Robinson, get me outta here.
So that'll be all for the spider Verin.
Seeing everyone just sort of wavering and acting a bit odd in response to this weird
creature that just kind of showed up.
Aaron's gonna briefly have already been turning his aim and being ready to
fire at it as Mia is getting grabbed.
Again, just going to fire off the first shot at this weird gremlin thing.
A 14 will hit all righty for eight points of damage.
Pug WPI is shot in the shoulder, pretty badly impacted, but is alive still.
He just kind of grunt seeing Mia get grabbed and starting to be pulled
up, but he's got that one injured.
He's gonna try and put it down.
That can shock going off.
Uh, that's a four on the die.
That one, you might not be in the unlucky aura, but it feels like it as the bullet
just goes way over where you were able.
And lastly, I think he's just gonna look over at a bowling over here.
I was trying to be cordial earlier.
You could have asked for parlay.
You've seen what one of these shots does to you, A little minion at once.
I'd rather not put one or two in you as well.
Lay down your arms and we can discuss parlay.
All right, VIN, you are unlucky, surrounded by thorns.
Okay.
Well, I'm very fortunate to have reach as this pole arm swings at this weird
gremlin creature deciding that that is the most important target for my sanity.
I.
And thus we swing for a 14 to hit.
14 does not hit.
It says it hits a 14 hit for me.
The pug py.
Oh, the pug Swampy.
Sorry.
Hitting py.
I thought you were aim at boing.
Sorry.
No.
Yes.
A 14 will hit the pug swampy for 11 damage.
The pug wone goes down and as he does, the unluck aura ceases on both.
Freya and Vin okay with seeing this dwarf, that same weird energy wraps around vin
As the purple fire expands out, I'm gonna attempt to demoralize check on this dwarf
who tried to hit me with a club, but using my intimidation beat that I don't need
to speak words to be able to intimidate.
Will.
Rolling eight there.
But I will attempt a second strike as my third action, which will also miss.
Yes.
And because you are still within the vines or the thorns, Need
you to make a reflex save.
Oh, I thought I just had, didn't have to move.
Yeah, I thought it was if we moved in the affected area or those who
moved through an affected area.
Ah.
Oh sure.
Moved reflex save 23.
That is a success.
You'll take half of 11.
Damage for five.
Next is Mia.
I'm, I wanna escape.
Yeah, I really wanna escape, but I'm also like me is starting
to feel a little defeated.
It's just like I got out and now I'm back in.
I don't understand how this happened.
I don't wanna be near this spider thing.
It's kind of scary now, unlike last time you were only
immobilized rather than restrained.
So you can do more things than just try to escape if you want to.
That is fantastic.
Can I attack this thing?
You can indeed.
Right as Mia's frustration co like sadness and scared and, and whatnot goes
from being sadness and scared and, and kind of leans more into frustration.
Her feral side starts coming out.
She starts kind of like bearing her teeth.
Her claws get longer and she just kind of reaches up and tries
to slash the stomach of this.
Or like at the CLO or the face, whatever.
The abdomen.
Bit of abdomen.
Thank you.
Whatever bit of body she's looking at at the moment, she's just screw this
because I know our very intelligent listeners will probably correct us.
The section in front of the abdomen.
It's called the cephalic, thax, the thorax.
Well, I don't hit it.
This thing has a really good, like exoskeleton.
That's what bugs have.
Right?
All right.
Well that was just one action or how many actions did the power up?
I, I didn't do any power up, so it was just one.
Okay.
Yeah.
She's just gonna like, frantically just claw at this thing because at
this point fear has turned into feral.
All right.
Do you just want me to make two more?
Yep.
Okay, go ahead.
A 14 will not hit.
That's not gonna hit either.
Damn.
Another 14.
Sorry.
She's just scrambling and like all of the angry like fox noises.
You're just slashing at this thing.
Fon is going to step out of.
The vines and then throws an acid flask at Freya.
He's still stepping.
So that's still moving through, right?
That is, and you know what, I'm going to attempt my eerie flicker again.
Okay.
As I try to, with my reaction slide through this ethereal play.
And so this thing that might hit me wouldn't, and so this has to make
a flat check DC five flat check.
God dammit.
That's a 17.
So this critical hit will get you.
You will take two points of acid damage, two points of splash damage,
and then I will apply one D six persistent acid damage unto you.
So we've used one of his flasks is then going to reposition his staff so it's
not just one hand, but being held in both hands, he hitting the Bonker Freya.
Okay, so I am going to spend my first action to move and sort of
move out of this thorn area and as.
Kind of behind this person who just hit me with the flask and made me very angry
and like look at him just being like, oh, you really shouldn't have done that.
As I pull my sword and I'm going to attempt to spell strike again.
Okay.
I'm gonna do a gouging claw spell strike as I run my hand along the blade and
it sort of grows these primal fangs.
Please be nice dice for 10.
10 Does not hit Deon.
Uh, foundry.
Why do you hate me tonight?
I gotta roll our recovery check.
So you'll take three and continue to be.
On, on acid.
Have acid on you, I think is the better phrasing there.
Yeah.
There we go.
I have tripping hard man.
And now I have another question for you, Freya.
What are your clothes made of?
Claw?
I am cloth wearing explorers clothes because as a, as a laughing shadow magus,
I actually get bonuses for being unarmed.
So natural clothing.
Yeah, from plants, cotton, hemp grass, probably more like animal
fibers and stuff, but you know, there's definitely some of that.
Please don't let this man steal my clothes.
He isn't going to steal your clothes.
However, that scarf that you love to wear, Uhhuh, he has an ability called
vengeful fibers What, where a piece of clothing animates and starts to
attack its W wear at his command.
He says choke the bitch.
Hey, I resent that remark, so I need you to make a fortitude
save as it starts to choke you.
He's not gonna steal your drip.
He's gonna make you drip from your drip and it continues.
This is a 10.
I have not rolled above a, not rolled above a 10.
It's a 10.
Total level one.
And you're down.
Someone saved me.
Yep.
I would if I could, but I can't.
Fray as spider again, you go up to dying two.
Mm-hmm.
What, what do resolve points?
What resolve points do I spend to not die?
So Resolve actually has a really cool ability where if you spend one
resolve point on your turn while you're unconscious, on your next turn, you
will come back with one health point.
How much that's, you are in extreme danger.
I am ex in extreme danger.
Yeah, I'm in danger.
You even with resolve points, you have persistent damage.
Yeah, that's the big problem.
If you stand up, you go down at the end of your turn.
Alright, so we're gonna have to figure out something about that.
But not me.
I'm the one trying to take you all down.
VIN directs his attention at vin.
I die.
I am coming back as a fricking healer.
Funny.
That's what I was thinking.
Casting tangle foot on you.
So he's gonna make a spell attack roll against you, VIN.
Okay.
So that is a 28 on the dice.
Your ac vin is 18, so that will be a critical success.
So you'll be immobilized and take a 10 foot circumstance penalty to your
speeds for a minute unless you are able to escape the spell DC Uh, okay.
Alright.
Next is the spider.
It tries to bite you, Mia.
It's just rude.
Could it not bite me?
Could it like that?
What is up with your rolls?
Oh my goodness.
I don't know.
Literally this be fourth.
Chris, roll this.
Oh my gosh.
I'm gonna die y'all.
I'm also gonna die hila.
Roll the damage though.
Minimal damage.
Doing just two points.
God fuck.
Thank you.
Of damage.
Two points on the grit.
Uh, its second bite also hits doing irregular three points of damage.
And the final strike misses God as Mia.
You see this dream spider's sake.
Come, gimme kisses.
God, I wasn't, I punched this thing in the throat.
Jared, save yourself bearing.
I can't move in to assist with attacks of opportunity because that thing is
15 feet high and I can't reach it.
It is exactly five feet outside the range for me to be able
to possibly at all hit it.
So we're just gonna try and shoot the spider down.
I appreciate that man.
And that 18 becomes a two.
Can I roll physically?
D no, I'm, I'm, you all know you have hero points, right?
Yeah.
I'm using a hero point on that.
Okay.
Yep.
We're just gonna keep on firing off.
See if I can roll higher than a 14.
Nope, that's a 16.
16 hits.
Ah, that'll do it.
Kill this thing.
Yeah.
I'm not gonna kill it.
Fuck.
That's seven.
Damage.
Uh Yep.
'cause I did get it on the spider.
Alright, for 10.
The bullet goes into its abdomen and you see greenish goo come out from it.
Mia does not even care.
Still biting and hanging onto Mia.
It is still biting, but it is very badly injured.
I have to do the worst thing in the world in Pathfinder second
edition and attack three times.
I am just hoping for a 20.
Just quit fish.
That's what I'm doing.
That's a 12.
Alright, so next we go to vin.
VIN tries to escape.
We'll roll the athletic strike.
Get me outta here and you're restrained and we'll hear a point that net one.
Alright.
I know we're supposed number one path everybody.
We're all supposed to be these sort of badass, paranormal investigators
just being taken out by everything.
No.
11 will probably not meet the spell DC of Tingle Foot, but
it will not critically fail.
So that's a plus.
Two actions left.
I, I'm just going to accept my fate and I'm just going to swing at the dwarf.
All right.
Run in a swing and it forgot to click the token bef 15 to hit.
Is he technically flatfooted because I'm laying on the ground behind him?
Delfin.
Oh, you're down.
Daon.
I go, yeah.
Trying.
It would've been, oh boy.
But a 15 does not hit daon.
Go for broke.
Yeah.
20 a 20 does though.
Or minimal damage.
Take take.
Even when we hit, we can't catch a break.
God damn it.
It's not our night.
So M everything was going so great.
Last session, so me previous recording session.
We're all rolling so well, to run away from guard, we are doing so good.
And now we are just, we're not wanna have a word with whoever programs dice.
Luck for foundry.
Seriously.
All right, what am I doing?
Am I dying this round?
I hope not.
No, it's my turn.
It's my turn this round.
That's fucking awesome.
I don't even know what to do.
Mia feels so defeated.
She's just like, I've got this green goo on me.
I haven't been able to get away.
The stupid spider's.
So creepy.
I just wanna punch it in.
Its stupid little spider mouth saying, come over here, get angry.
Get sw.
Yeah, she's going to just, she's just gonna attack.
She's just so much rage and this tiny little fox body.
What are these roles serious?
I mean, that That was better.
That was better.
I will say that.
A 14 does not hit.
No, 14 does not.
But do again, is she still technically prone?
'cause she's been pulled up.
Yeah.
Yes.
That's super.
Not gonna do it.
Is this one gonna do it?
No, please, please do this please.
For me, 21 does, that does not include your minus 10 penalty, so that is an 11.
Oh, damn it.
Right?
I, yeah.
Got so exci.
You just said in her delusion, Mia just thinks Shely the coolest hit.
Deon runs up to Veen.
Oh, hey guy.
You know what you did while running up to me.
It's called Walk into a Gun.
Please say, please implements, interruption.
Don't talk to me or my gun ever again.
Please crit.
I want to blast this man into Tuesday.
That's a four.
You already spend your hero point.
Yep.
Yeah.
Does anyone want to give him one?
I mean, you could have mine.
I'm probably not gonna need it.
I think you're going to, 'cause if you keep going down persistent,
you're just going to die.
I mean, I've got, I've got the resolve points.
Stand up.
Go down.
Stand up.
Go at your dad's.
What's gonna happen?
Yeah.
Unless I like succeed on my next recovery check.
I will gladly give you my hero point.
If you want me to spend it, I will spend it like, because
you've got the best chance.
Not really.
You've got a better chance.
1824.
That'll hit.
Yep, that'll hit for seven Damage.
Deon is running up to you as you fire at him.
Shoot him in the head, and the inertia causes him to kind of do
one of those comical, cartoony fall downs where he just.
Woo woo woo onto his back.
We need this today.
This man falls into the family guy death pose.
So Deon is dead.
So with our heroes, battered and bloody, will they be able to survive this assault?
Save the day.
