- Hello, one and all!
Welcome back to another thrilling episode
of "Dimension 20: Fantasy High Junior Year."
I'm your humble Dungeon Master, everybody.
And with me, as always, our Intrepid Heroes.
Say hi, Intrepid Heroes.
- [Everybody] Hi, Intrepid Heroes!
- Last we left off,
our Intrepid Heroes were racing over the skies of Elmville,
storms wracking the Solisian countryside
as Cassandra/the Nightmare King
had been summoned back as part of a divine ritual
to re-Ankarnate Porter Cliffbreaker
as a new god of
rage, wrath, war, and ruin.
Our wonderful prophet of Cassandra,
seeing her goddess,
brought to bear to conceal this ritual
with some clever divine intervention,
not on her part,
but on the part of her wizard-made simulacrum
made by one Adaine Abernant
whispered, "Blimey," into a GoPro
strapped to a vulture.
And was- - Whispered,
"I don't think you heard me."
- I don't think you heard me. - "Blimey,"
was to the ether,
then turned to the camera and said,
"I don't think you heard me.
Blimey." - Blimey.
(players laugh)
- A ray of lightning shot out of the mouth of this god
after a ruinous combat
where dragons were dropping from the sky
as Fig Faeth rode across her solar Daymare, Gerard Neigh,
to smite Grandmama Blue Dragon from the stormy skies
as Fabian ran an election
and locked down 300 votes.
- We stopped the steal.
- We stopped the steal, folks.
(players laugh)
- Oh my god!
- We stopped the steal! - Blimey, we did!
- Blimey!
For the new student body president.
By the way, bear in mind
that in addition to all this stopping the apocalypse stuff,
Kristen Applebees might be class president
in her senior year.
- God, that'd be so cool!
- [Emily] My president.
- We got the Cloud Rider Engine back up and running.
Riz was running the cannon deck along with Eugenia Shadow.
Fabian got a brand new Ghost Step tattoo.
- And then I lost it.
It ran away.
- It ran away somewhere else? - Hiding on my body.
- Hiding on your body.
- Between your shoulder blades.
- In between your shoulder blades,
a little ghost with feet running back.
- Mid final battle, Fabian is just naked in a mirror,
being like, "Where is it?"
(players laugh)
I'll come out as soon as I find it!
- I need to go to a dermatologist.
- Yeah. (players laugh)
- And in a proof that the dice firmly are not on my side
as a Dungeon Master, but are on the player's side,
Cassandra intervened and opened wide
her stormy mouth,
that Seacaster Manor might fly through
into skies wracked by rage and ruin,
which is where we now return.
Elmville ain't looking so hot, gang.
The Bad Kids have come back
and it is about,
I would say- go ahead, actually,
roll a d10 for me
whoever wants to. - Siobhan should do it.
Oh, wait. - Seems like Murph's already-
- You guys want me to get it?
- Yeah. - I got it.
I got it! I got it!
It's a seven.
- Okay.
It is 10:20 PM
as you arrive back in Elmville.
You know that the election concludes at midnight.
As the ship sails back in,
many of you are injured,
damage has occurred.
Seacaster Manor, thankfully, intact still.
But Gorgug, as you fly it back in,
you see Elmville stretching out,
you see the cratered hole back
in the Seacaster Manor estate
where the manor would go.
But you still are flying a ship.
Now, I will say the Cloud Rider Engine
doesn't make this a flying ship, per se.
So without vapor underneath you,
you are kind of coming in for a controlled landing
and will have to pick somewhere in Elmville to land.
- Fabian, do you have a place that you were hoping to live?
- What? - A place
you're hoping to live?
- Well, I mean, we've got some time.
We're doing all right.
- We're coasting, baby!
(players laugh)
- We can't put it back in the hole.
- We can't put it back- - Should do it
near the Strongtower Luxury Apartments
so we can be neighbors.
- Oh!
- Oh. - Oh, what about the-
- Head there!
- No!
Too many fast food restaurants around there!
- We're in it!
- It's awesome! You can walk to whatever kinda fast food
restaurant you want! - Just go to the gym!
- Oh, what about the old Abernant mansion
that's knocked down?
- Oh! - Oh,
I guess we could put it- how-
- It's gonna be like whatever is in front of us.
- Yeah. (players laugh)
- Five, four-
- Target it to the gym! - Three!
- Right at the gym! - Two.
- Target to the gym! - One!
- Gorgug, where we going?
- We're going towards the gym.
- Okay, you're going to crash into the gymnasium.
- Yeah. - What?
He said near the gym! He didn't say crash into the gym!
- All right, near the gym,
near the gym. - We all brace.
We all brace. - We all brace.
- Onto to the Bloodrush field.
- Wow, you're gonna have such a short commute to school.
It's gonna be awesome, guys.
- We move slowly but surely towards the Aguefort gymnasium.
Kristen, feeling the sudden absence of K2-
I will also say I read the rules for simulacra
and K2, it's very clear
that everything about what happened was totally above board.
So I will ask you here for this.
With K2 having been (imitates sizzling) vaporized
by the deity,
do you think, in this moment,
communicating with your simulacrum as it vanishes,
do you think you would've asked
for time, allies, equipment,
or do you think you would wish
that K2 would not vanish from this realm?
(players laugh)
- I can't believe you put that back on the table.
- I know which one I want!
(players laugh)
- Truly, I went home in a fugue state
feeling as though I was blackout drunk after that episode.
- For sure.
- And I was sitting with it,
and narratively, I actually think that Kristen
was really loving feeling like she had a sister.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- And was honestly probably really sad
to see K2,
who didn't know what she was doing,
commune with a god that was not hers and get vaporized.
- Yes.
- Equipment.
(players laugh)
- So I think that she would want equipment.
(players laugh)
- I'm kidding. I'm just joking.
- I think she would want K2 or allies.
- I understand.
So the Divine Intervention allows you to reenter Elmville.
I think, in this moment,
it is basically a decision
between whether you retain that simulacrum
so that it is not destroyed upon reentry
or whether you want, effectively, that scattered energy
to teleport some people here, like to your aid.
However, I will say that this is just about
this magical divine intervention.
So it's not beyond your ability
to use this time carefully as you sail back to the gym.
So there's one or the other of these things
that you want to do the old-fashioned way.
You also have that ability now.
I will let you marinate on that choice
as the ship begins to come back in.
You're landing over the school grounds
and I think Seacaster Manor.
Fabian, I think your house is just in the,
like, just sort of destroys
a massive field out by the Bloodrush Stadium,
and now you live at school.
- Yeah!
Okay.
- Congrats, man.
(players laugh)
- I actually was kinda hoping I could move in
once Gilear gets back.
- Yeah, that would be-
- Is now the time to talk about that?
- I mean, yeah.
I mean, there's plenty of rooms.
You could come live-
- Sometimes I don't like hitting my head
on the doorframe of my parents' house.
- You wanna come live at Seacaster Manor
now that it's at school? - Is that okay?
- Gilear is an amazing paternal figure,
and I really miss him.
- Wow!
- I'll take another dad.
(players laugh)
- Like, this is okay.
This is okay!
(players laugh) This is okay.
- How's the pullout couch situation?
I don't wanna move in,
I just wanna be able to have the option.
- It's incredible.
I mean, we have a couch that turns into a bed.
- Probably just pop by during lunch
now that we're so close to school.
(players laugh)
- Yeah, can we eat lunch in your house?
- Yeah, I guess we can do an off-campus lunch
at my house now.
(players laugh) - Hell yeah!
- As Seacaster Manor lands, (imitates impact)
it is impossible not to notice.
And as you land sort of within sight of the gymnasium,
Jawbone, Ragh, Mazey are all here gathered around as well.
If there are enemy forces here at the school,
you have almost definitively been spotted
as students begin to pour out of the ship.
- Oh, as the students run out,
can I look for the artificer students?
- Yes.
You see Unit goes (babbles)
- Unit.
You okay?
(Brennan babbles)
(tense music)
Hey.
I've really enjoyed being in school
with you this year and...
Oh.
Are you? (players laugh)
(lips smack) Oh!
(players laugh)
- Whoa!
- Thank you.
(Brennan babbles)
Yeah.
Well, even cowgirls get the blues.
(music stops abruptly) (players laugh)
(Murph screams)
(players laugh)
(Murph screams/wheezes)
(players laugh)
(Murph screams)
- We have started here?
(players laugh)
- [Brennan] Are we gonna be able-
- This is your fault!
- Are we- - You can't do this!
- Are we gonna be able to finish the season?
- That was an off-camera bit
where Beardsley said, "If I roll a nat 20
Zac has to say, "Even cowgirls get the blues.'"
- Immediate nat 20, first roll I made today.
(Murph wails)
- Sorry. Sorry.
- [Brennan] You see...
- That wasn't the weirdest thing that happened.
- But in character.
- In character. - In character.
In character, Unit goes (babbles)
and puts on a big old Stetson and walks off.
(players laugh)
- All right, Gorgug!
- Gorgugs!
Back on the market, baby!
- I'm just sayin'
I don't know!
- How long?
- Just the whole year.
- What? - Wow!
- What? - That's crazy!
- What? - Yeah.
- [Ally] Hey.
- It was one-sided.
- You might wanna stop Unit
'cause everyone going towards the gym
is probably about to get slaughtered.
- Oh, also, we need to get the votes.
'cause we need to secure-
- Mazey.
- Mazey, yeah. - Yeah.
Are you all right?
- [Brennan] Yeah. I'm okay.
That was incredible! How are you? Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm hanging in there.
(players laugh) I mean, I've been through a lot,
but I'm glad you're here with me.
- Yeah, me too.
You see Jawbone says, "Okay, we got all the vote.
I got all the votes that the kids left,"
and basically packs up a duffle bag.
Mazey goes, "So the polls close at midnight
but this is already so bad, whatever's happening."
- Yeah. - And you guys see,
you hear screams,
it sounds like the sounds of screams,
fire, sirens off in the town.
You hear gunshots just randomly from other neighborhoods.
You can feel your blood heating up in your body.
- Okay. So there are little rituals happening.
- Yeah. - It's rage-fest
- The temperature right now in Elmville
is about like 107 degrees Fahrenheit.
Muggy and humid and fucking nasty here.
The sky, slow moving lightning (slurps)
crawls over the sky around you
as everything is cast in this dull, red, ember-like light.
Mazey says, "I'm only allowed
to count the votes at midnight.
So it's like 10:30 right now.
But also, I don't know if we're safe right here
in front of the gym or not,
but polls don't close until midnight.
I don't know what they need."
- Where do you need to be to count the votes?
Can you do it anywhere?
- All the votes are delivered to the gymnasium.
- Okay. Gotta be in the gym.
- Okay. - Great.
- But it has to be at midnight.
So for now- - What's a short rest?
Do we have enough time to go into Leo's Tiny Hut?
- You do! An hour is a short rest.
- Would we get some spell slots back a little bit?
- You could heal. - You got 16, right?
- I look like I'd had two hands in toasters.
(players laugh) - Yeah.
- I wouldn't hate a short rest.
- Yeah. - Cool.
- Can we go out to my HQ
that I have in the forest behind the school?
I can cast it again, but-
- Hell yeah! You guys see- - If that's the case,
I'm gonna do a Channel Divinity
to get a 3rd level spell back.
- Hell yeah. - Yeah, do it.
- And then, my Channel Divinity will
come back on a short rest.
- Everyone go ahead and start taking your short rest.
So start mechanically doing that.
You run out.
Kristen, as you vanish into it,
you can see the stormy haze of your magic,
twilight shards, all that stuff
begins to move around and create the tiny hut around you,
and just in the nick of time
you see that the gym crackles with red light
and hundreds of shatter-stars
begin to move out of the gym, out into the town.
- Can we have taken some of our allies with us
from the boat?
- Yes.
I mean, so of the allies,
Mazey, Jawbone and Ragh were all right there with you.
You see Ragh looks out as you're going in there
and Ragh is uninjured and says,
"I'm just worried about everyone at Mordred.
Should I try to go for my mom or anything else like that?"
- Yeah.
We don't want anything bad to happen to them. - Jawbone,
you should go as well.
- He says, "Okay."
He gives you the duffle bag of votes,
and Mazey is holding onto it as well. And then
you see that Jawbone and Ragh says, "All right,
my car's parked in the teacher parking lot.
Let's go.
Oh shit! No, I drove to Seacaster!
Okay, we'll get the bus!"
And you see-
- What?
- We'll get on the bus.
- Do you wanna take the Hangman?
- The Hangman says, "Sire, I do not wish to transport
Jawbone and Ragh.
I wish to stay by your side!"
- I'm worried about Ragh's mom!
- So am I, but they're really fast!
- But we're gonna make them take the bus?
- A werewolf and a barbarian?
They're fast as hell!
- They said they're gonna take the bus,
They're not gonna run! (Murph sighs)
Could you guys run?
- You see Jawbone looks over and says,
"Ragh, we gotta do it."
And you see Jawbone assumes his full wolf form.
- Can I cast Fly on them?
- Yes, you can!
- Great. I'll cast Fly on them,
4th level Fly so they both get a Fly.
- Jawbone says, "Gotta run!
Wee!
Thanks, kiddo!"
- You're welcome!
- Jawbone does a fun Superman pose.
Ragh is a little bit afraid of this kinda magic
and covers the bottom of his face
so he can't see the ground
and just stays standing
and just Magneto zooms off into the sky.
Mazey stays with you in the hut.
You guys are all taking your short rest.
- I do a little dance if anyone needs an extra d6
from a Song of Rest.
- I need- - Do you know
if Summons take short rests?
Does Gerard Neigh get-
- You can roll your-
- Gerard Neigh can use hit dice in a short rest.
Absolutely.
- If anyone has any extra healing,
I rolled all my hit dice and only got up to 60.
Did you add a extra d6?
- I just added it.
- Oh, only up to 60?
- Yeah, I rolled really bad.
- Do bards get spells back on a short rest?
- [Emily] No. - No. Long rests.
- Okay.
Do I get Bardics back on a short rest?
- Yeah.
- Yes! - Okay.
- Okay now. - Okay, that is big.
- Oh, I forgot to add my Con!
- [Emily] Oh, I get a Pact spell back too!
- Okay, that's- - And you add your Con
every time with the dice. - Oh!
Then I'm back up to full!
- Okay, so that's- - Hell yeah!
- Just quietly in this tiny hut
while just screams and gunshots,
we're out here, just trying to gas up.
- [Brennan] And be like, "Okay,
okay, okay. - All right.
Let me do a little dance for everybody while we-
- Oh, I can also do Song of Rest, if that helps.
- Sick!
Are you good on health, Gorgug?
- I still need like 27. - Okay.
- Let me see. - Yeah.
- Any other spells people wanna cast
as part of this short rest?
- You know what? - 17.
- Just to maybe make sure that
we didn't get fucked over or something,
I'm gonna cast Detect Magic on the bag
and make sure that there was nothing weird.
- [Zac] In the bag?
- The bag with all the votes. - What bag?
- Oh!
- The only thing that's come in here with us.
- Clever!
- Yeah, I'll ritual cast Detect Magic.
- That's almost such a good idea.
- If Adaine wants to do that, I won't blow this spell slot.
- If we could Message or keep a line open with Jawbone,
that'd be great too,
just 'cause he entered back out
into the world of shatter-stars.
- I'm sorry, what were the spells
you were considering casting?
- Ritual Detect Magic on the bag of votes.
- You can regain one d8 extra.
- Okay. Detect...
There is no magic on the bag of votes.
- Great. - Cool.
- Oh, maybe we should Ice Feast.
- Oh, we should Ice Feast. - Oh, if we had K2,
they could take the punishments from it.
- No, we all take the punishments from it.
- Okay.
- Punishments aren't that bad, if I recall.
- Are we gonna lose any of this stuff,
like True Sight or True Seeing and See Invisibility?
- Oh yeah. - Is that stuff gonna go away?
- If it is, I have a couple of things that last for an hour,
so I wanna wait until it turns 11.
- Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Makes sense.
- I actually do have See Invisibility.
I swapped out Silvery Barbs for it a while ago,
but do you think it's worth the 2nd level spell?
- I think, if enough of us have it-
- Well, I have Faerie Fire,
so if I have See Invisibility then I can cast Faerie Fire
and then nobody else needs it.
- I have Sickening Radiance,
which is kinda the same thing.
- Okay, so I think I'm gonna save the 2nd level spell.
- [Siobhan] Great.
- I think I'll probably do See Invisibility.
I have an ability that lets me see
within 5 or 10 feet of me, but like
- Cool. - So I'll do See Invisibility.
- Yeah, maybe I will do See Invisibility,
but right at the last second.
- Depends on what your spell economy's like
'cause I don't know that you necessarily need it.
Not everyone needs to be firing on Kipperlilly.
- That's true.
I actually think, if we wanna talk strategy,
I think we should go after Oisin first.
- Oh, definitely! - Because wizards
are the best class.
- Oisin, yeah.
- Oh, Oisin. - Yeah, let's blast that dude.
- All right!
We killed his grandmother.
- We killed his grandma, now let's kill him.
- Now we fucking kill him!
- And he's gonna have resistance to lightning, I bet.
- Yeah.
- Hell yeah. - Oh yeah, 'cause he's a blue dragon.
- Let's go around and say our new hit point totals.
- Full. - Full?
- For me and Gerard Neigh. - 126.
- 126 for Gorgug?
You're only three away from full!
Damn! - Full.
- Full? - Full.
- Full.
- Cool!
And spells we are casting at the end of the short rest
when it's about 11:30. - Yeah.
- Great.
So See Invisibility and another ritual
Rary's Telepathic Bond.
- See Invisibility on myself as well.
- I'm gonna drink my potion.
- Ooh! - Nice!
- [Emily] Woo!
- Baby, baby!
(Zac groans)
- Are the vultures still around?
- Yes, two vultures are with you.
- Wow! - Do they still
have GoPros on?
- Yes. - I wear them like epaulets.
- You see that one of them is helping the other
change out the SD card in the GoPro.
- Oh, you got to. Yeah. - I inform them
that the music video is not finished yet.
(Brennan squawks)
- I give Fig the Skull of the Vulture King
so she has-
- I wear that- - Advantage on Deception
Persuasion, and Intimidation. - And the orangutan mask.
(players laugh)
- But then it's a disadvantage against everyone.
- On everybody else, yes.
Yeah, this is just for the vultures.
Don't wear it against anybody else.
- With one of those old school snow cone machines
where you have to like freeze the discs
and then you're grinding it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah! - And she's gonna go around
and give everybody a dish of unseasoned ice.
- Great.
So Kristen is gonna, for the first time,
cast Ice Feast.
- This is a homebrewed spell from Brennan with love.
Are you guys ready for what we get?
- Yes. - Ready.
- Mm-hmm.
- We each take one level of Exhaustion.
- Great,
(Lou scoffs) - Interesting.
- And we take 1d12 cold damage.
- Okay. - This is a gift with love?
- Yeah, am I allowed to- - Say the good stuff before-
- Yeah, I'm currently- - Yeah.
- ...eyeing my snow cone- - Sell me on that.
- ...and being like, I don't know. - [Brennan] Great.
- Do you guys have a 12?
- I think I can't eat this.
I can't not Stealth.
- Nah, here you go, guys.
Here you go.
All right, we all take seven points of damage.
- Okay. I might not eat it.
- Yeah, I'm still not- - Sell me on it.
- You guys are cured of all diseases and poison,
become immune to fire damage and being Stunned.
You make all Con saves with advantage
and your hit point maximum increases by 2d10-
- Give me the ice.
- And gain that same number of hit points.
It lasts for 24 hours.
- Okay, I think a couple of us-
- How have we not been eating this every fucking day?
- Yeah, what the hell?
(players laugh)
- Yeah, I dunno how many times I said
you gotta read Ice Feast.
- I said it sounds great.
- Yeah, you only read the first few lines of it
and we were like, "Oh, that's bad.
Why would we- - We all were
on the same page of being like-
- How can we cure Exhaustion,
or level of Exhaustion?
- Greater Restoration can cure Exhaustion.
- Which I also have in my staff.
- Oh, and do we-
- Oh! Can we- - What about,
are you bringing back K2?
Have you just decided? - K2 could
also Greater Restoration.
- I, and not even as a joke, I do think narratively,
Kristen would do anything to get her back.
- I think in this moment-
(players laugh)
- "Not even as a joke,"
and then a shit-eating grin erupts on your face.
- And then a grin that won't- like a bad flare up.
(players laugh)
- So I think that, at this point,
K2 appears in spectral form
and can cast Greater Restoration.
How many 5th and 6th level spell slots do you have?
- Well, she was doing a lot of spellcasting too,
so I had it split up.
So Kristen, I'm missing a couple spells still,
but 6th level is done.
- Okay. - Now with Ice Feast,
7th level is done.
- Okay.
- I have one 5th level,
I think two 4ths
two 3rds. - Okay.
- Two 2nds.
- K2 has her own.
- Okay.
So True Seeing, what level is True Seeing?
- She has 5th.
- 5th.
Or 6th, sorry.
- She has 6th.
So she would have only spent one 6th level spell slot,
so she could cast Greater Restoration
a quite large number of times.
And then, she could also upcast
with a 7th or a 6th.
- I could use it 'cause I can hide at the end of a round.
- I think Adaine and I could use it
if we need to roll for Counterspell.
- Ah! - Oh yeah.
- Or if anyone needs to roll for disadvantage.
- I also have charges in my staff
and Greater Restoration is half of my charges.
So I can use that
and get someone. - [Brennan] Twice.
- And use that twice.
- K2 can use it twice. - So just one person
needs to be exhausted.
- So what does one level of Exhaustion do again?
It's just disadvantage on-
- Disadvantage on ability checks.
- Disadvantage on checks.
- Not saving throws, not attacks.
- For you, that'd be Athletics checks, grappling checks.
- I feel like I might be doing those.
- Yeah. - I think maybe-
- I think I'll be okay without them because I-
- Oh, 'cause you have higher level spells.
- I have higher level spells.
It would just be Counterspell, I think,
that would be a problem because I have War Caster,
and we get advantage anyway from-
- Yeah. - For Constitution.
- Okay. - So yeah.
- Are you looking to be The Ball?
- 'Cause why do you need to do,
do you need to do checks?
- Oh my god!
- I'm just asking! I'm asking! - Dance is my whole thing!
- Athletics! Athletics!
Performance! - No! Fine, fine!
No, Counterspell is important.
I'll be exhausted.
It's fine. - No, I think you need it.
- No, I'll catch the ghost.
Everything will be all right.
(players laugh) I'll be tired.
It's fine.
It's fine!
I'm maximum legend, baby!
(players laugh) I've been tired all fucking year.
- Oh, I think it's behind your ear.
- Oh, is that it?
- Yeah. Oh no, sorry.
- It went up your hand.
- God dammit!
(players laugh) - [Emily] Do you like it?
- So yeah, K2 can cast it three times.
- [Lou] Oh, thank you!
- Did you see I wrote-
- And then the staff can cast it twice.
- Yeah, I saw that. - I'm gonna split
each of these and K2 will be the second half.
- Cool. - Get rid of that.
- No, no, no. That's part of the design.
- Oh, okay.
Okay. - Cool.
(players laugh)
- K2 upcasts it one, two, getting three people.
My staff, if I use all the charges-
- Gets two people. - Gets two more people.
- You could cast it once if you have...
I don't know if you want to,
but you could cast it once yourself
'cause you do have- - The upcast-
- ...so you could get more people? - So you would get everyone.
- When you upcast it, does it do more people or no?
- No, it does not do more people when you upcast it.
- Oh, keep casting it.
- Okay. - Oh, okay.
- I think keep the spells.
I'm good to be a little tired.
- You're good? - I'm good.
I would say that maybe I'd like to not be exhausted
just because of-
- Yeah, there's- - Because of Deception
on Ruben. - Totally.
- [Ally] Is your speed changed?
- No, no, no. That's for a later level of Exhaustion.
- It's all just checks.
So you might have to do Religion checks
or something with Cassandra.
We don't want you exhausted.
I think Mary Ann's probably gonna try to kill Gorgug.
There's a high chance of wrestling.
- I think you got it.
It's three of those higher level spells from K2,
two from your staff, maybe one from you personally.
- Yeah, that would get everyone.
It just depends on if you want...
- To lose one of those higher level spell slots.
- But I think you can.
- Great. - I think
when we're really getting close to it-
- Mm-hmm?
- ...would like to cast a 5th level Fly.
- [Brennan] Okay.
(papers rustle)
- So Kristen can already fly.
Fig can already fly.
- A short rest.
- Riz wants to hide.
- Yeah. - Cool.
- So I'll do Fabian, Gorgug, and me.
- Cool, cool. - Fly?
- Fly.
- I'm gonna have K2 have casted Ice Feast,
if that's okay with you.
- [Siobhan] So it's a 60 foot fly speed.
- Okay.
- So coming in from the sky,
wrapped in the Union Jack.
(players laugh)
- Holy shit!
- Just holding pounds and pounds and pounds
of unseasoned ice.
Behold the Ice Feast, governor!
And then-
- She got more British in death.
(players laugh) - Holy shit!
- You all- - Wait.
You mean she achieved her true potential in death?
- [Siobhan] That's beautiful. That's really beautiful.
- So for all of you,
immunity to fire, immunity to the Stunned condition,
you all take 1d12 Cold damage,
but then your HP maximum
and current HP go up by 2d10.
So you're a little bit under a larger maximum.
- Is it- Same?
So everyone gets the same from-
- Everyone gets the same.
So you go ahead and roll 2d10 for everybody.
- That's five. - [Emily] Oh, whoops.
- That's a 10, baby!
- [Brennan] All right.
- 15. - 15 HP max.
And current goes up by 15 for everybody.
But you did take that seven Cold damage
from eating so much ice.
- Is that temp HP or-
- No, it's your temporary maximum.
- Ooh! - So it's not temp HP.
Healing spells can bring you back
for the next 24 hours- - Such a good spell.
- Gotcha. - Such a good spell.
- Ice Feast, baby.
Here we go.
- Gerard Neigh is going to have eaten it too.
- [Ally] Yes!
- Can it hit everyone?
Is there a limit to how many people?
- 12.
- Oh! - That's why I'm like,
"Oh, we should have kept Jawbone."
- Mazey asked if she should eat this.
- Oh, yes. Mazey should absolutely eat it.
Mazey, you're in
on this fight, right? - It'll make you exhausted.
- Okay. - But also
I mean, if you wanna fight with us,
we would be proud to have you by our side.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I'll do it. But I'll just be a little tired.
It's okay.
- You don't have to eat it if you don't want to,
but it is pretty-
it honestly tastes okay.
- Really? - It's unseasoned.
- What's seasoned ice?
- You know, a Digene.
(players laugh)
- Digene?
- Oh yeah, yeah. That makes sense.
- [Lou] A little Digene. Yeah.
- Oh yeah. It's like a snow cone or something like that.
- Yeah, exactly! - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Like a blueberry syrup.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- That sounds great. - Amazing!
So you guys have those benefits.
- I'm huge now! - You guys know
what your new HP maximums are and the damage you've taken.
It is 11:30 at night.
- Hmm.
- All right.
- Should we sneak by and see what they're doing in the gym?
- I have a feeling they're gonna just like-
- But it's just like a trap.
- Yeah, I hate to be a dick- - I think we should go in hot.
- ...but I kind wanna roll up and kick their fucking asses!
- Should we just go in hot?
- Yeah, I'm done with sneaking. - I'm ready to go.
- [Lou] Yeah, exactly. - I'm ready to go.
- I'm doing pushups in the air.
- Yeah. - I know.
I can See Invisible. I don't think I need to be-
- Oh wow! I'm so strong.
- [Murph] ...invisible. - Yeah.
- So easy 'cause I'm so strong
or 'cause we're flying? - So easy.
So easy 'cause I'm so strong. - I kinda wanna be invisible
and cast Faerie Fire.
- Oh, that's not...
Well, you'll have to do Greater Invisibility,
otherwise it breaks.
- Yeah, I say we just rock up.
- Can't wait. - Yeah.
- Do we wanna make sure there's no traps?
- Yeah- - But other than that.
So maybe we'll do...
I'll go just 20 feet ahead. - Give me an Investigation.
Yeah.
(die rolling)
- Reliable Talent is
23.
- 23.
You are searching ahead of the group.
All right, this is you guys rocking up.
So this is all of those spells that are one minute duration.
Gimme what you're casting.
- See Invisibility, Mage Hand.
- This for one minute? - Haste.
- But yeah, I mean, this is like,
as you are approaching the doors,
this is like you are kicking off.
- Sacred Weapon.
- Sacred Weapon from Fig
- Mirror Image.
- Mirror Image from Adaine.
- Nothing over here. Just on the back of the Hangman.
- Okay. - And you know what?
We're gonna do a Spirit Guardian.
- Spirit Guardians from Fig.
Hell yes!
It is easy for you to summon this rage energy around here.
(Brennan imitates energy crackling)
Kicks up around you.
- I promise she's good.
- As we're going in, I will go into a rage.
- Okay. - [Lou] What'd the potion do?
- Makes my Strength 25.
- Hoy!
- [Siobhan] Nice!
- Oh my god.
- How's Gorgug looking right now,
raging and with this fucking potion?
- His neck has just gotten bigger.
- Yeah. - Ooh!
- He looks so hyped. - Pretty vascular, dude!
- Dude!
- I've never felt weirder.
- You just do the thing where you put pre-workout
straight into your mouth, dry.
- You look like you have an absolutely bizarre podcast.
(players laugh)
- It's about waking up at 3:30 AM.
- I can't help (indistinct)
- Your crystal goes, "Ba-bing!"
and it's a producer from Dry Guys reaching out.
(players laugh)
- You got Gorgug.
(players laugh)
- See Invisibility and Mage Hand.
Anything from Kristen? - Yes.
Twilight Sanctuary.
Activate a 30 foot radius of dim light is around me.
- Cool. - And I am bonus actioning
Steps of Night.
- Nice! - Cool.
- I'm flying above the ground
and I'm just using my walking speed.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- And K2 is going to cast Greater Invisibility on herself.
- Cool. - With the hopes of casting...
Okay, she's gonna have Greater Invisibility
and See Invisibility on herself.
- Are those both Concentrate?
- No, See Invisibility is not.
- [Brennan] Cool.
And See Invisibility. - Do you know if
Branding Smite is Concentration?
- It is, yeah.
So K2's got Greater Invisibility and See Invisibility.
You've got Twilight Sanctuary, Steps of Night.
Fabian, what do you got going on?
- I think I've just caught the little Ghost Step thing
and I've thrown him in the clock.
- Cool. - So I'm now attuned
to my Ghost Step Tattoo.
- Hell yes, great.
Amazing.
Adaine, you've got See Invisibility,
Rary's Telepathic Bond,
you're holding Fly on you and two other companions,
and you've got Mirror Image up.
- Yes. - Fuck it!
I'm playing the pipes.
- [Brennan] Okay, some rats show up.
- Oh, I have two vultures!
- You're Stealthing! You're Stealthing!
- You see all along the paneling
at the base of the school portcullises open
and all of the rats of Rat World come flooding out.
- For Lucy!
- Do you use rat money? - [Brennan] For Lucy!
Yeah!
(players laugh)
It's rat dollars.
(players laugh)
- Gorgug, you got the potion, you're raging.
- Can you guys do a Saturday?
(players laugh)
- Concentration on Branding Smite, or no?
- No, 'cause I'm Hasting.
I'm Hasting.
- Oh, you're going to do Haste?
- Yeah. - Fuck!
Okay, cool.
- Gorgug, where'd you get those tiny sunglasses?
- I'm on the phone
(players laugh)
- And Fig's got Sacred Weapon and Spirit Guardians going.
Anything else?
- That's all!
- All right. (players laugh)
All of you run up from Applebees headquarters
with a duffle bag full of votes.
Is Fabian carrying the duffle bag full of votes
or is Mazey carrying it? - I think Mazey and I
are riding on the Hangman together
and I think it's pressed in between us.
- I think I put- - Woo!
- Beautiful!
(players laugh)
- (laughing) Pressed between.
- I think I-
- Pressed like- - ...handcuffed
the duffel bag- - Yeah.
- ...to Mazey's wrist.
- What'd you say?
- Do you have handcuffs?
- Officer Kristen. 100%. - Yes, of course.
- Unfortunately, Officer Kristen is canon.
- Is that a thing?
(players laugh)
- I love the police!
- What?
(players laugh) - No, no, no.
Officer Kristen was a Tracker sex thing.
- Yeah, yeah. - Officer Kristen
was not a cop thing. - Yeah.
- I am going in as Wanda Childa and Gerard Neigh. - Okay.
- And then, Squeem has my phone.
- Yeah. - So I think
that we should FaceTime Squeem
as we go into battle.
- If only for a motivational speech.
- Do you wanna FaceTime Squeem as you go into battle?
- Yes. - Yeah.
- You see Squeem
covered in dust and cracks.
(dramatic music)
He's got stickers on him and different postcards
from all the places he's been.
He's just been walking since the season started.
So he is been walking for 10 months
and you see he is at the intersection
of Maple and Ash Grove.
- [Ally] Wait, is the sky behind him is this?
- [Brennan] Is red. Yeah. This guy behind him is red.
- Squeem, get here now!
- Squeem? Squeem!
- Get here yesterday.
Get here two hours ago! - You're so close!
- You're close!
- Squeem! - Squeem, a left,
a right, your first right, and one more left.
- Squeem! - And one coffee order
on your way here.
- Yeah. - Cortados all around.
- Yeah.
- You see that he walks- - A hot chocolate
with a shot of, yeah.
- Lemonade cortado.
- He opens a door, you hear a little,
"Bling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling!"
And he's shot a couple times
by people freaking out at the coffee shop.
And he goes, "Squeem."
(players laugh)
- Beautiful!
- Holy shit!
We're gonna have Squeem?
We cannot fail!
(players laugh)
- Unbelievable.
Squeem is on his way,
- Babe, you're gonna love Squeem.
I'm sorry I called you babe.
- Who's Squeem?
No, I liked it.
Okay. - I liked it.
- I'm so sorry. Click
- Yeah. (players laugh)
- Y'all keep doing y'all's thing. - What the fuck?
Unbelievable.
(players laugh)
- Get out of there! - Kristen goes where
the handcuffs are, I'm sorry!
These need to be held by you. - I understand but they-
- They can't be taken from you.
- Okay.
- Unless you die. - Yeah.
So Squeem's been walking for 10 months straight.
You handcuff the votes to Mazey's wrist.
You burst through the doors of the gymnasium.
As you do so,
you see, gathered here,
all of the Rat Grinders.
Ruben looks up and goes,
"Wanda!
(dramatic music)
You're alive!"
- There's a way out of this.
Gorgug, the greatest wizard in the world showed me.
- What? Why are you so yoked?
(players laugh)
- I'm a wizard.
(players laugh)
- He wakes up at 4:30 every morning!
- Five days and every hour.
- He gave me the choice and I said, "Yes."
And then, Gorgug cured me.
- Rise and grind. - You see
Jace and Porter are also here.
Porter turns around to you.
He, right now, is normal-sized.
Turns around and says,
"Well, well, well.
Mr. Thistlespring and...
Is Fig-"
- Fig died.
- Oh? - Yeah.
- Died in the crash.
- Yeah.
You fucking killed her, you bitch!
- She died killing a dragon.
I think your grandma.
- Yeah. - Oisin goes, "What?"
- Your grandmother's dead!
(players laugh)
- Fig killed her.
- You see- - And then,
she did the shocker as she died
- We have video proof of it.
- [Ally] Yeah.
Porter looks up-
- We do have videos.
- Buddy looks out from here and goes,
"Everyone, I want y'all to know,
bottom of my heart,
we're gonna slaughter all of you
and deliver you up unto our lord and savior Bacharath."
And you see-
(players laugh)
- Buddy! - You see Porter goes,
"That's not the fucking name!"
- And he says, "I know in my heart,
Bacharath is the right name
and we just don't believe hard enough."
And you see Porter turns and says,
"Funny little trick, eh?
This next part's not gonna be a trick.
(eerie music)
I feel glad in my heart
that after years of fucking bullshit
I get to show you what I really think
about the power of Rage."
(growls)
He glows with red light pouring out of his mouth.
He grows to about 15 feet in height.
He smashes the floor
with one of his feet.
A wave of Stun Energy radiates across
and all of you are immune to the stunning energy.
- Sorry, what did you just do?
- Loser says, "What?"
- What? - Oh, was that
supposed to be impressive?
- Oh!
(players laugh)
(Brennan roars)
- He is so humiliated.
He gets even angrier,
and (screams) cracks appear in the wall.
I need everybody here to roll Initiative.
- K2 comes out of Invisibility
and casts Faerie Fire in a 20 foot cube
on however many Rat Grinders,
hoping to get Kipperlilly for sure.
- Awesome!
Go ahead and roll Initiative.
- Nat 20!
- Woo!
Dirty 20!
- [Lou] Mm. - 28.
- Hold on, let me go through here.
So we got a nat 20 from Kristen.
- Yeah, it goes down to a 17 though.
- On a nat 20 from Kris...
Okay, goes down to a 17.
I'm gonna say...
Okay, 17 for Kristen.
K2's acting on your turn.
- Do we have Bless or the power thing?
I forget. Okay.
- But you could have casted it again.
Is Kristen concentrating on a spell right now?
- That's a great point.
Let's do it.
Everyone's Blessed.
- Great! - Appreciate you.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Do those go to initiative or for-
- No. - I will have
made K2 invisible.
- So K2's got Greater Invisibility on herself, right?
That's what you said before.
- Oh 'cause you can only cast it on yourself.
Never mind. - Yeah. All right.
And then, Bless.
Is there another one for the teddy bear
that is going from Kristen right now, Concentration-wise?
- No. - Okay.
- And Greater Invisibility, you don't have to come out of it
to cast a spell? - Great.
- So she can keep Greater Invisibility.
- Yeah. - She was dropping it
because Faerie Fire is also Concentration.
- Got it. - Gotcha.
Before K2 pops off that Faerie Fire,
we're gonna just put everything into initiative.
So it's a 17 for Kristen.
Adaine, what did you get?
- 10.
- [Brennan] Gorgug, what did you get?
- I got a seven.
- Seven.
Fabian, what did you get? - 19.
- [Brennan] 19.
Fig, what did you get?
- Dirty 20.
Riz, what'd you get? - 28.
- Jesus!
Way to go, Mr. Gukgak
Okay, all of you behold a battlefield.
The divine realm of the goddess
that, to your enemies, remains unnamed,
though Buddy Dawn insists that it is called Bacharath,
is coming apart.
What you can see is an incredibly dangerous ritual
that threatens to almost jump the tracks.
They have invoked too much energy
without the ability to finish the ritual.
Right?
And all of Elmville is coming apart,
starting with the gymnasium.
This is the locus of the rage dimension spilling in.
This is the carcass of Ankarna
that is coming through
into the material realm,
protected by the shield of the Nightmare King
in the storm clouds above.
As you surge forward into the gymnasium-
- Who's flying right now?
- Pegasus. - You are.
- Is Fabian or the Hangman?
- I think me.
I'm in the saddle for effect.
- Cool.
- Great.
(players laugh)
- You're just floating
slightly above it. - Are you flying
slightly above a motorcycle?
(players laugh)
- Oh, where's Kipperlilly?
- Invisible.
- Can the people who have See Invisibility see her?
- You cannot.
- Oh! - Okay.
So she's not here yet.
- Oh, she might just have such a good Hide check
that nobody can see her.
- Oh fuck!
I thought I was gonna cast a little Faerie Fire on her.
- Charging forward, you see the Rat Grinders before you.
Everyone has placed themselves where they wanna be.
Those who are flying are flying, which is most of you.
In fact, I think only K2 and Riz
are not flying right now,
and the Hangman.
Okay, - You've got a vulture on.
- I've got two. - Just blue tack it on.
(Ally laughs) - Okay.
- Two vultures.
- [Emily] I got two!
- (accented) I got two!
It's good to be back!
- A massive 15 foot tall Porter Cliffbreaker
is charging across the shattered gym
as the chunks of the floor begin to float away
from the divine realm surging through underneath.
Riz Gukgak, you are first to act.
- [Murph] Okay.
Can I...
Do you have a 40 foot cube that I can see?
- Well, here's a 30 foot cube to get you started.
- [Murph] Okay.
Beep! Okay. (dramatic music)
That's cool.
Who's back here? Who's that?
- [Brennan] That's Jace.
- [Murph] Fuck that dude!
Okay, I'll go for these four,
Porter, Mary Ann, Ruben, and Buddy.
Okay, actually, first thing's first.
- Mm-hmm. - [Murph] I'll hide to kick it off.
- [Brennan] Cool. - C'mon.
(die rolling)
A 28 Stealth check.
And then I'm going to use Magical Ambush.
If you're hidden from a creature
when you cast a spell on it,
the creature has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes
against the spell this turn.
- Hell yeah!
- So I'll cast the spell Slow on these four.
- [Brennan] These four here?
Hell yes!
- [Murph] Centering in this area,
so if Kipperlilly
just happens to be fucking hiding in there-
- Oh!
- [Murph] She would also get grabbed.
- 40 foot, too.
I think it goes out a little way.
(chill music)
- [Brennan] Hell yeah!
Okay. You cast Slow? - Mm-hmm.
- Ruben Hopclap right here Counterspells.
- With Magical Ambush am I not-
- Hidden! - Casting from hide
until after it's settled? - You're casting (indistinct).
- Can't see him!
- They can't see you.
That is correct.
- Okay, so I believe I come out after the spell has-
- Resolves. Yes, yes, yes.
That is correct.
That is Magical Ambush. - Nice!
- Unbelievable!
What is the saving throw for Slow?
- So they're gonna be doing it with disadvantage
and it is a... buh buh buh.
Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw.
- Wisdom saving throw.
And they're all rolling with disadvantage.
Your DC is 17.
- 17.
- Wisdom saves across the board.
(dramatic music)
And at the very first action of the combat,
Porter is gonna use a Legendary Resistance.
- Okay. - Yeah!
- [Murph] Okay.
- This guy is burning limited resources
way too early in the fucking combat.
- Great. - Riz, that was awesome!
- Unbelievable! - Beautiful!
- [Brennan] Mary Ann is gonna go next.
(dramatic music continues)
(sighs) 19 and a
16.
- 16 fails.
- Yep!
- Mary Ann is Slowed.
Unbelievable!
We're gonna roll for Ruben.
(upbeat music)
Ruben gets a nat one.
- Yeah! - We're gonna roll for Buddy.
Buddy has a very high Wisdom.
Buddy saves.
- Okay. - Okay.
But Ruben and Mary Ann, both Slowed.
Go ahead and rattle off the effects of Slow for me,
if you'd be so kind. - Okay.
Minus two penalty to AC and Dex saving throws.
- Okay.
- Can't use reactions.
- [Brennan] Wow! Ruben has Counterspell.
That is huge!
- On its turn,
it can use either an action or a bonus action.
Not both.
- Okay.
- And regardless of the creature's abilities
or magic items, it can't make more than one melee
or ranged attack during its turn.
- Jesus!
- If the creature casts a spell
with a casting time of one action,
roll a d20. On an 11 or higher,
the spell doesn't take effect
until the creature's next turn,
and the creature must use its action-
- Oh my god!
- ...to complete the spell.
If you can't the spell is wasted.
- What super spy tech are we seeing
as you leap out of hiding
and blast all four of these combatants?
- I very nerdily pull out my Arcadian watch
and goes like, "Set timers to
(intense music)
we're gonna win."
(players laugh)
And I wind my Arcadian watch
and it projects time slowing down
and it shatters and spreads over
these dudes here. (Brennan sputters)
And since I had to hide at the top of my turn,
I can't hide now. So I'm just gonna use my movement
to freaking skedaddle and just hide.
- Okay, just literally get cover behind the basketball hoop.
You see that Porter (roars) charges forward.
You see that Ruben goes, (shouts) "Terrible magic!"
And you see Mary Ann goes, "My quirky pet,"
and then she pulls a little thing out and checks on her.
(players laugh)
- Mary Ann, we're gonna get you on our side.
(Brennan laughs)
Okay? - Mary Ann,
we're gonna get you out here.
- No lethal blows on Mary Ann! - I don't think she's good.
(players laugh)
- We're gonna kill her! - Brennan, question.
- Yes.
- K2 was invisible,
came out of invisibility to cast Faerie Fire.
- Yes. - Because I thought
we could see Kipperlilly.
So that was-
- You would not, yes. - Target number one.
- That's okay.
She does not have to use that spell slot.
- Incredible!
So she is still invisible.
I am now the one who cast Bless on the party,
so I don't have Bless, but she does.
- [Brennan] Hell yes!
I'm gonna give you a little invisibility.
Go ahead and put that on K2.
Great.
(intense music)
Let's see here.
Yeah. That's no sweat.
Okay, this is gonna be Ivy.
- Ivy.
(intense music continues)
- [Brennan] That's a miss
- [Lou] Dreamy.
- [Brennan] That is a hit.
- Silvery Barbs.
- What's the range of Silvery Barbs?
- Never mind. (music stops abruptly)
(players laugh)
- Cool.
Two hits. Fabian.
- The rats! No! (intense music resumes)
- Not the rats.
- [Ally] Oh. (players laugh)
- Are you sure?
- They're protecting their livelihood.
- Don't you understand?
- They have a mall underneath the school!
- I'm gonna need a Dexterity save
and a Constitution save for the Hangman.
- Great.
- As the Hangman takes 15 points of damage.
- Oh no!
Okay.
They're both for the Hangman?
- Both for the Hangman.
- Hangman Dex save
(die rolling)
is gonna be a
18.
- Saves.
- Hangman Con save
(die rolling)
is gonna be a 16.
- 16. Okay.
Ivy (imitates arrows whooshing)
starts firing arrows at your motorcycle.
On the Constitution save, she hits the gas tank
and (whooshes) fuel begins to pour out.
The Hangman's speed is halved.
- Oh!
Hangman, are you all right?
- Sire!
(pants) The really hot mean one from before,
she has injured my fuel tank!
(pants) See?
We should try to be nice to her,
'cause that will make her less mean, right?
- No, no. - We should base
our relationship on being so nice so that she's less mean!
- No (laughs).
- Honestly, her mini's not that hot.
(players laugh)
- She feels that, somehow, in the fiction of the universe.
- [Siobhan] Yeah.
- Eyeshadow's hard when brushes
are as big as your hand, you know?
(players laugh)
- I also just wanted to be mean.
- [Brennan] I also just wanted to be mean!
- 'Cause she just hurt the Hangman
- Oh!
Wait, I forgot she has one other ability she's gonna use,
and that still does not turn that into a hit.
Okay.
Figueroth Faeth, you are up.
- Okay.
I want to fly over here. (rock music)
- [Brennan] Okay.
- And attack Oisin.
- Hell yes!
Immediately, as soon as you close,
you see Oisin looking up at you
and focusing intently on you
with his eyes through his glasses.
Go ahead and take your action.
- Oh, 'cause he's gonna try
and give me disadvantage or something.
Okay. - Lame.
- I am going to just try to
Green-Flame Blade him.
(intense rock music)
That is a...
Right now I have plus 17 to hit
because of my Sacred Weapon.
So 17 plus 16.
32.
- 32 will hit.
- Okay.
I'm gonna do a Smite,
just a 4th level.
Okay, let me roll this.
- Just a 4th level.
- Simple 4th level.
- And this is also 2d6.
Oh, and I can actually get Ivy with the fire!
- Okay.
(virtual dice rolling) (intense rock music)
- I'm gonna re-roll two ones.
(intense rock music continues)
Okay.
21 becomes...
42 damage to Oisin. (player sneezes)
- Bless you! - Hoo!
- And then the vultures have Pack Tactics to make attacks.
- Okay. - Can I have them do Grapples?
- Yeah. - Grapple attacks?
So they have a minus two to Strength,
but they're both gonna do Grapple attempts-
- On Oisin? - On Oisin.
- Cool, cool.
First one has to beat a seven.
(dice rolling)
- Yeah, he gets a 16.
- Cool. - Okay, so first one Grapples.
We wanna drag him out of line of sight of Adaine.
- Okay. Gotcha.
- Oh, and Ivy takes
(die rolling)
(intense rock music continues)
One. 14 plus 5.
- 19. - 19 fire damage
from the Green-Flame Blade.
- (whooshes) As the blade moves past her.
So then, we wanna Grapple him
and basically get him out of line of sight of Adaine
so he can't Counterspell Adaine.
- Gotcha. - And then,
have him be in my Spirit Guardians when he starts his turn.
- Copy that. - He's actually
too far away to Counterspell me right now, but... - Okay.
- But move him anyway though. - Not a bad idea though.
- It's not a bad idea.
- Well, he's out of line of sight for-
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah. - You can drag him
behind the basketball hoop over here.
- Yeah, that's why I wanted to use that.
- Cool. Great.
And you're following him here.
Hell yeah. - Or he's Grappled by-
- Oh, and you know what? - Are the vultures
leaving your side to do this, or no?
- Oh no, we're all-
- You're all staying in a clump.
- So the pegasus hasn't finished his movement.
- Gotcha. - He's using
his entire movement.
- [Brennan] Cool, cool, cool. Gotcha.
- So yeah, we're all staying together
like a little family.
- Great.
All staying together like a little family.
Perfect. - 'Cause I want him
to take the Spirit Guardians.
And then, you know what?
The other vulture is gonna take an attack.
Why not? (die rolling)
- Cool.
- He rolled really well!
Does an 18 hit?
- [Brennan] 18 hits.
- [Emily] Just another three piercing damage.
- Okay!
That'll prompt another Concentration check.
- Ooh!
- What's he Concentrating on?
- The first thing he needs to do is beat a 21 save.
- Concentration check.
Okay, this- - He fails.
So he loses Concentration on whatever he's focused on.
(Emily cackles)
- Great! - Well, actually,
I'm gonna go ahead and move the pegasus down further
because you're on top of him, grappling him.
- Yeah.
But I mean, we're grappling him in the sky a little bit.
Like, maybe like 10 feet in the sky.
- Gotcha. Cool, cool, cool.
That is Fig's turn and Gerard Neigh.
Fabian Aramais Seacaster, that is you.
- [Lou] Just based on everything we've heard,
they won't kill Mazey, right?
Mazey has to count the votes?
- Mazey has to count the votes.
That is correct. - Okay.
Mazey, I don't think they can kill you.
Are you trying to get up in the mix or do you wanna-
- Yeah, I'll get up in the mix.
Let's do it. Yeah. - Get up in the fucking mix.
- Get in the mix. Yeah, yeah. - Let's fucking rock!
- I'll just get in the fucking mix.
- Okay.
I'm gonna take the Hangman
its movement forward,
which is halved.
So it's normally 50, so I can go 25 with it.
I'm gonna put the pipe down and pray
the rats will defend their livelihood,
- Which of course they will.
- Precedent.
- [Lou] So 5, 10,
15, 20, 25.
- And it is difficult terrain, by the way.
- [Lou] Okay. Okay. So that's- - So that would
be a full dash. - That's a full dash.
So yeah, the Hangman will go its full to here, I believe.
- [Brennan] Cool.
Copy that.
Great. - Great.
And then, I'm gonna say, "That bitch in the back,
I'm gonna skin her alive!"
(players laugh)
- Sire!
- Straight up! Straight up!
She said she was gonna do it to Mazey,
so I'm gonna fucking do it to her.
- Yeah!
- And I'm gonna jump off the Hangman, turn into a ghost.
- Oh! (players cheer)
- Holy shit! Look at that tattoo!
- Unbelievable! - Just become
a spectral Fabian flying 60 feet.
- Oh!
- Best fucking birthday gift!
- Rules!
- Damn! - Can I make a check
to see if I see the ghost tattoo's hole?
(players laugh)
- It's of course showing.
- Oh, sorry, Brennan.
Can I also have,
I forgot to use my bonus action.
- Yeah, yeah, go for it. - Can I have
Hexblade Cursed Porter?
- [Brennan] Yes, absolutely.
- Thanks!
- Porter is Hexblade Cursed!
Fabian, you leap off here,
and then are you surging towards Ivy?
- Ivy, yeah. - Cool!
Bam!
You are right next to Ivy.
Go ahead and tell me what you're gonna do.
- I'm gonna attack her.
- Cool!
- First attack is only gonna be a 15 to hit.
- For Ivy, it does not hit.
- Oh, devastating!
Second attack is gonna be a 24 to hit.
- 24 will hit.
- Okay.
We'll make it a Trip attack.
DC 17, I think.
- Mazey on the Hangman with the bag of votes.
- Real cool. - Whoa!
- Yeah, DC is 17 on that.
And then I will also add a Bardic.
- That's a Strength save?
- That's a Strength save.
DC 17 Strength saving throw.
- She fails.
- Okay.
We'll burn a 3rd level spell slot for Fandrangor.
- Nice!
- And then one more for a Defensive Flourish.
(die rolling)
- Mm-hmm. - Hell yes!
My AC's 26.
- Nice! - Wow!
26 AC! Damn!
Okay. - 26 AC
and then total of 5,
13,
18, 20,
27 plus 9,
36 points of damage on that attack.
- Woo!
- I mean, and while she's down, I'll Action Surge.
We'll swing two more times with advantage.
- Yeah! - Oh my god!
- That's awesome!
(dice rolling)
- Fuck her up!
- 21 to hit?
- 21 hits.
- Great! (dice rolling)
(intense music)
And a 27 to hit.
So on the first one,
we'll make it a Goading attack
just for shits and gigs.
DC 17 Wisdom savings throw. - Shits and gigs!
- Okay.
- I'll burn a 2nd level spell slot with Fandrangor
(dice rolling)
for a total of 9,
12, 14,
23 points of damage on the first attack.
- Okay. - Burn a second spell slot.
- Oh, sorry.
You're doing two more attacks.
- Two more attacks. - Resolve
the first attack first.
- That was 20-
- Describe for me what happens as Ivy goes down.
- Woo! (Siobhan laughs)
Yes! - Spectral Fabian
comes up, grabs her neck.
You had your chance to live
and now I'm gonna skin you alive.
(players laugh) - No!
No! - I'll tell you right now.
I'll tell you right now.
I'm gonna lose my virginity to that girl over there
(players laugh)
on the rug I make from your skin
with the weaving tools that I will make time for!
- No!
I was mocking her
because I think she's objectively ugly.
(Brennan gags) (players laugh)
And you see she (shouts)
- [Emily] You are the most bland-looking person
I've ever seen. (players laugh)
- In Fallinel, this is quite fashionable!
I'm dying!
- No it's not!
(players laugh)
- Blam, blam, blam!
You see that she is no more.
- [Siobhan] Hell yeah!
- We're also right here- - Wait, where's Porter?
- If you wanna attack- - Yeah, can I take
that second attack I have?
- How much movement did you use?
- I used 60 to get to...
I had-
- Does Fly give you 20 left for 80?
- You get 60 feet of flight movement.
- Okay.
So you've used your movement to get there.
- Great, then-
- If you wanted, you could take a weapon and fucking-
- Yeah. - Shoot.
- Yeah, I'll shoot- - Why not?
- I'll shoot Oisin while he's grappled.
- Yeah! - Go for it.
- Great.
- Do you have advantage 'cause he's prone?
- I don't think he's prone, I think he's just grappled.
- Oh, he is just grappled.
- Right. - His speed is zero.
(dice rolling)
- You're Blessed, remember?
- Oh, I haven't been rolling Bless!
(intense music)
That's gonna be
18.
- 18 to hit Oisin?
You hit him.
- Great! - Yeah!
(dice rolling)
- That's seven points of damage as I cackle.
(players laugh)
(unhinged cackling)
- Bam! Gah!
Oisin is already looking bloodied,
having been Smited from atop Gerard Neigh.
And as Fabian takes out the same hand crossbow
you used to kill Johnny Spells all those years ago.
- Oh! - Bam! Blah!
- [Lou] How do you think I got my bike?
(players laugh)
- [Brennan] Unbelievable!
Okay.
- That was satisfying because I've fucking hated Ivy
ever since she was so mean to Mazey-
- Yes. - About Twister.
- Yeah.
- Who's twisted now?
(players laugh)
- Porter is going to use a Legendary Action.
Porter is going to leap from here to right here
in between Fig and Fabian.
And as he lands,
he's going to adjust this arrangement.
I'll do it in a second.
But basically, lands and creates even more difficult terrain
in that area.
- Okay. - Boom!
As he lands in the middle of Fig and Fabian.
That is going to be Kristen Applebees' turn.
- K2 is invisible.
She is going to-
- Twerk.
- Look right to camera.
(players laugh)
What is difficult terrain? Half?
- [Siobhan] Half movement. - Half your movement. Yeah.
- All right.
She's only gonna get right there.
Kristen is floating in the air-
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- Surrounded by twilight.
- Cool. - I'm gonna look at Buddy.
Can I do an Insight check
to see if there's any of the old Buddy left in his eyes,
or if he's completely taken over?
It's a nat one. - Okay.
- Kill him.
(players laugh)
- Yeah, he switched to Bacharath pretty quick.
- Yeah, he's just-
- If someone puts him in a direction,
he runs. - Yeah.
(Brennan laughs)
- He's just looking for a thing.
- Okay, well, I guess I just wanna lock eyes with Buddy
and I cast Aura of Vitality on myself.
So twilight radiance kinda emanates from me,
and then I jump down
underneath the floorboards.
- [Brennan] Wow!
Okay, sick! - Wow!
- [Emily] Getting full cover!
- [Brennan] So getting that full cover.
You dive underneath.
Amazing!
Aura of Vitality is on you.
Where do you wanna move to?
- So right here underneath the rats,
but underneath the floorboards.
- The rats all go, "Suddenly we feel extremely vital!"
- Yeah. (players laugh)
- But we'll bear in mind that you are actually flying
underneath the floorboards here.
Amazing!
Any bonus actions?
- No. - Great.
- Not at this time.
- At the end of your turn,
Porter is going to swing on Fabian.
- Is it his turn?
- Legendary. - Okay.
- That is going to be a hit.
- Oh, sorry!
I meant to say, once I'm under there,
can I look around and see,
do I see any mechanisms going on?
Do I see this 24-point star
built underneath the thing,
or is it just magma?
- [Brennan] It's magma.
The realm is coming through.
- Okay. - Yeah.
Okay.
- He hit my- my new AC, 26?
- Let me see here.
He rolled a...
Let me see. He might not have, hold on.
(intense music continues)
- Ooh! - Oh!
- Yes, he hit 26.
- Oh! - Oh!
(players laugh)
- A sad story.
Yeah, but he did roll quite well to hit a 26.
- Okay.
Fabian, I need a Strength saving throw from you.
- Happily.
18. - You're Blessed also.
- Oh!
(intense music continues)
- Four. - Four.
- 22.
- You do not save.
You are knocked prone
and take 24 points of force damage.
- Oh! - You see
that Porter going over you comes in and says,
"Why don't you fucking stay down!"
And you see that, basically, all that force damage
from before is his maul moves so fast
that it just non-magically becomes force damage.
The physics of his maul approaching you
is such a intense pressure change
that your ribs break before the maul touches your skin.
(Lou gasps)
- Oh! - Okay.
Ruben, his speed is halved, right?
- Target speed is halved.
- Okay.
Ruben is gonna go one, two, three,
right here next to Buddy.
(intense music continues)
And I think he's going to...
(intense music continues)
How far away is he?
All right.
You see he moves and studies Fig.
- Wanda Childa. - Wanda Childa.
- Oh, sorry!
Wanda Childa. That's right.
- When he moves,
I think I look at him and say,
I look at his guitar and say,
(calm music)
"Have you ever thought of trying the ukulele?"
- His face drops as he remembers
"Bubbly Toes" and "Banana Pancakes."
(players laugh)
So instead he's gonna come up,
Ruben is going to drop a 9th level spell.
- Okay. Roll a d20.
- Okay.
Does it use the spell slot if he fails?
- Yeah.
"The creature attempts to cast spell
on an 11 or higher,
the spell doesn't take effect
until the creature's next turn.
The creature must use its action on that turn
to complete the spell. If it can't, the spell's wasted."
So it might just take two turns to cast.
- Gotcha. Okay.
- Is he gonna try and Time Stop?
- He raises up for a power chord,
like you saw him play before at Frosty Fair.
This is definitely Box of Doom, 9th level spell slot.
Riz, what does he roll that fails?
- On a 11 or higher.
- It's delayed.
- Okay.
(intense music continues)
- [Murph] So high is good 'cause it's for us.
(intense music builds)
- Two. - Damn!
- It is not delayed. - Okay.
- Fuck!
- Is he within 60 feet of me?
No, right?
- Should I try to Counterspell him?
- I think this is around 60.
- It's not a spell.
It would be a Silvery Barbs thing.
- Oh.
- [Murph] Wait, what, what?
Why not Counterspell it?
Yeah. - Because it's a 9th level
and I'd have to roll for it.
- Oh. - I mean-
- Might be- - Whatever
9th level spell is gonna come
is worth try, right? - Yeah, you might as well.
You might as well try.
- [Murph] You have Luck points and stuff.
Yeah. - Might as well try.
- You got it.
- Use a 3rd level spell to try.
- And he can't
Counter your Counter. - All right.
- Yeah. - He doesn't have reactions.
- All right. - Yeah.
- I'm gonna...
Although, Jace can Counter my Counter.
- Where is Jace?
- Over there. - Jace is right up in the mix, yeah.
- Did he already
use a reaction?
Jace is just gonna Counter. - Jace is already...
Oh. Mm.
- No, Jace- - Jace has not used a reaction
and I don't think Oisin has used one either, has he?
No, he has not.
- Yeah, I think my Counter would just get Countered.
- Yeah. - Okay.
(intense music continues)
I'm going to need Intelligence saving throws from,
I think, everybody here,
'cause it's 90 feet. - That reaches me?
- Yeah. He can reach you too. - He sees me?
- It's a 90 foot range.
Does he see you?
You're still within range.
And...
- Is this a Charmed or Frightened condition?
- Oh, that you can see.
So it can't be Kristen.
- I'm behind the- - And it can't be Riz.
- I'm here behind the-
- He can see you.
- [Emily] He can't see Riz though.
- Worth a try. - Riz, did you hide again?
- No, I just ran back as far as I could.
- You're further than 90 feet though, right?
- Yeah. - He's all the way back here.
- He's all the way back there.
- I'll say that Riz and Kristen are hidden,
but K2 is visible.
Adaine, Gorgug.
- K2 is invisible and I'm beneath the floor.
- Oh, K2's invisible!
Right, right!
Okay, so Kristen, K2, Riz are not affected.
- Okay. - (indistinct)
- Huh? - Is it a cone or?
- It's every creature he can see with a 90 feet.
- Oh, okay.
- Oh! - Okay, great.
- And is this Charmed or Frightened?
- Nope. I need Intelligence saving throws.
- And so we add Bless to this, right,
'cause it's a saving throw?
(dice rolling)
(intense music continues)
- Oh!
- Mm-mm.
(dice rolling)
Mm-mm!
- Ooh!
- I got a 29.
- I'm gonna use a Luck point.
- 23.
- Okay.
- Oh, it was worse!
(intense music continues)
- 10.
- Also 10.
- So we're also rolling for the Hangman,
and I'll roll for Mazey as well.
(dice rolling)
- Hangman got a nine.
- Pegasus fails.
- Okay.
(dice rolling)
- Vultures fail.
- Anyone who succeeded,
which is a 17 or higher is a success,
takes 30 points of psychic damage.
Anyone who failed takes 60 points
of psychic damage and is Stunned.
- But we can't be Stunned! - Wait. We're immune to Stun.
- Cannot be Stunned.
Hugely significant.
That was Psychic Scream.
So he raises up,
(imitates guitar chord wailing)
plays this insane power chord on the guitar,
but all of you feel the dull thickness of ice
in your body from eating so much unseasoned ice.
Cannot be Stunned.
However, I believe- - K2 thought she seasoned it.
- Can I even make a Concentration?
- [Ally] She's just that white.
- You'd have to hit a nat 20.
You'd have to hit a critical success.
- I believe. (piano chord plays)
- Come on!
- You do get advantage.
- What is this for? - 'Cause of Ice Feast.
- On what? - Ice Feast.
Con saves.
- Con saves. Yeah. - Oh yeah.
(gentle piano music)
- (groans) Dammit!
- So close. - Oh yeah.
Fuck! I should do that too.
- Yep, everyone gimme your Concentration saving throws.
Kristen, you're all good.
- Well, yeah.
So with Bless it would've been-
- So it's 15 for me.
- 15. - So Ruben
attacked Wanda Childa?
Or included her in his-
- He did.
- Yeah, he did.
He did. - Unbelievable!
- Yeah.
- What do we have to hit? - It's like no loyalty.
- No loyalty.
Disguise Self is not Concentration, by the way, right?
- You don't add it to Bless.
You don't add- - Yeah, for saving throws,
yeah, you do. - I ended up getting an 18
for my Concentrate.
Oh, that doesn't make it-
- Dirty 20.
(piano music continues)
(Brennan whistles)
- Dirty 20 on your Concentration check?
- Yes. - So you took 30 damage, right?
- Yes.
- So the DC's 15. You succeed.
- Oh, cool. - Great.
So you don't lose Haste.
However, how's Gerard Neigh looking?
- Gerard Neigh is still standing.
- [Brennan] Okay, amazing.
- Not happy about it, but he's still standing.
- Still standing.
- The Hangman breaks down.
- Sire!
And the Hangman breaks down.
- [Lou] Hangman!
- Vultures are no more.
(Ally gasps)
But no rats.
(piano music continues)
Toast.
- Wait, I didn't roll their saving throws.
- He can't see 'em! He can't see 'em!
- You know what?
He can't see the rats.
That's fine. - Oh, thank god!
They have to defend their livelihood.
- Okay.
So everyone has recorded the damage.
Nobody is Stunned.
Mazey made her save.
So takes 30 points of psychic damage.
Where are you at, Mazey?
- Would have been so sick if the entire season
of me trying to get this guy to be in love with Wanda Childa
had paid off in that moment.
(players laugh)
- He leans in for a kiss, but he kills all your friends.
- It was all for a bit. - [Brennan] It was all for a bit!
I have to feel like the guy would've seen you
Smiting and killing his friends.
- That's fine. Yeah, yeah.
- Would have to be like, "Well,
I do really like her.
But on the other hand,
she is an absolute lunatic ghost
haunting my life at every turn."
- It's totally fair.
- Yeah. - She showed up
with all of my enemies.
(players laugh)
- Replacing the person I know has a federal agent
chasing her for constantly disguising herself.
(players laugh)
- Yeah, maybe on some level he knows it's fake
and he's into it.
(players laugh) - Yeah.
- Well, he's about to die a really bad death
'cause he took my fucking Spirit Guardians away.
- Ah!
- Yeah, Spirit Guardian's gone.
Did we hold Concentration over here?
Okay, cool.
- How's everyone looking?
- Okay right now.
- 55.
- 65.
- And also Gerard Neigh.
- Wait, do I have to roll for Boggy?
- Yeah, you do. - I mean-
- I think Boggy's toast.
- It could happen. - You can't. Boggy can't take-
- You could crit.
- Boggy can't take 30 damage.
So even if he passes-
- Is Boggy invisible?
- Why would Boggy be invisible?
- I don't see him.
(players laugh) - [Brennan] Well, I don't see him.
It is now Porter's actual turn.
I'm gonna need Dexterity...
Uh, let me see something, actually, here.
- We are flying.
- You're flying, but you're only 10 feet off the ground
and he's a giant.
(Lou chuckles) Yeah, I think he's gonna use the ability
'cause Gerard Neigh is still up.
I'm gonna need Dexterity saving throws
from Fabian, Fig, and Gerard Neigh.
(intense music continues) (dice rolling)
- Come on!
(dice rolling)
- 13.
- 21 for Gerard Neigh.
- Okay. (intense music continues)
- Nat one for Fig.
(Brennan exhales and whistles)
- [Brennan] 7, 17, 24.
- Luck point?
- 48 force damage to Fabian, Fig, and Gerard Neigh.
- Okay. Gerard Neigh is gone.
- Oy! - Damn!
- So now I'm not flying anymore.
- Well, we're immune to Stun,
so at least that is what the Fly was for.
- But it's on difficult terrain.
- Oh yeah.
- You see Porter standing over you, says,
"I've had enough of this!
Get the name!
Get the name!"
(grunt of effort)
And you see he takes his massive maul
and just spinning it around.
Thuds down, Fabian, into your body
while crystal shards across Fig's face,
knocking you off Gerard Neigh
and comes down and splatters Gerard Neigh's brains
all over the gym floor. (players groan)
- I spit up blood
and say, with my one hit point left,
I say, "The name's Wanda fucking Childa!"
- I mean, I understand context clues.
You know?
- And I flash Ruben. (laughs)
- [Brennan] Unbelievable!
- Coulda had this! (laughs)
(players laugh)
I'm so mad!
- Wanda!
(players laugh)
- Would Ruben's attack count
as a Mirror Image?
Can I roll for Mirror Image?
- No, saving throw.
Mirror Image only interacts with attack.
- Okay, great. That's what I figured.
- Riz, you're not in hiding, correct?
- Correct.
(intense music continues)
Motherfucker.
- I want Oisin fucking dead.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I need these fucking Counterspellers dead.
(dice rattling menacingly)
- [Siobhan] I wish I'd thought of that earlier.
- I've got See Invisibility
and I've got Blindsight.
Kipperlilly is hidden from me?
- I don't think she's here.
- I know, but why would he ask that? - Or she's underground.
- Why would he ask that?
- Blindsight!
You have See Invisibility.
- I know any creature that's hidden near me
within 10 feet. - True Sight.
- Cool.
Kipperlilly's not using any magical means
to conceal herself.
- Okay. - She is just Stealthing.
I'm gonna roll a straight Luck check
to see if homegirl decides to use melee or range.
- [Murph] Okay.
- You wanna call odds or evens?
- Odds.
- Odds means she's using melee.
(die rolling) (intense music continues)
That is a three.
- Yes!
- Ooh!
- Riz, the last possible second
you hear tidy little polished shoes
rushing up from under the bleacher.
Kipperlilly hits you,
but without advantage is not able to use Sneak Attack.
So deals you eight points of damage.
- Okay. - Rushes away.
You get an attack of opportunity on her.
- Okay. (die rolling)
- (gasps) It was so close! - So close to a nat 20!
Instead a 19.
- Wow!
- 19 hits.
- [Ally] Played with us.
- You're not gonna get Sneak Attack,
but you can go ahead and roll damage.
- Great. (die rolling)
Damn! Bad roll!
Seven damage.
- Cool. - But you know what?
I'll go ahead and I'll burn Fury of the Ball
and do an extra 14 damage.
- Wow. - So 21 damage.
- Jesus!
She runs up, gives you a little slash with a dagger
and you whip around with the Sword of Shadows for 21.
She goes (shouts) "Little freak!
Why wouldn't you-" - You're a freak!
- This is what grinding does!
You might have a high level, but you suck at PVP!
You suck at this game! (players laugh)
You suck!
(players laugh)
- Deeply injured, she leaps into the cracks
in between the floor, vanishing.
That is gonna be Mary Ann Skuttle.
So there's a big run of these guys
that all have an initiative in a line.
- Is she immune to Fire damage as well?
Is that why she was able to
go through the cracks? - No, she is climbing
along on the underside.
So she's not flying, but she just vanishes.
She's making a Stealth check.
Mary Ann, her speed is halved.
What the fuck is she gonna do?
Hangman is down. - Rats?
- So Mazey is near the fallen Hangman.
- So if they have level 9 spells,
are they level 20?
- I think they might be level 20.
- I knew it.
- They're all level 20. - These motherfuckers!
- Yeah 'cause how would the bard
have a 9th level spell?
- Yeah. - Hmm!
- Okay. - Seems like they have
shit HPs. - Fucking Grinders!
- I hope.
- I'd say like 50. - Yeah, what suffers
when you level up that fast?
- A rogue/ranger should have higher HP
than being able to die in one.
- Oh, maybe!
You could be right.
Like level 20 abilities,
but they haven't taken the time, right?
- [Siobhan] Maybe.
- [Brennan] 5, 10, 15, 20.
So her speed is halved, right?
- Yes. - Yes. Okay.
Mary Ann, sluggishly, looking at her quirky pet
on her little device,
is going to take a movement
and use her action to move,
close with Mazey, right?
No, she doesn't. No,
she can't attack Mazey. So who she's gonna go for?
Nah, she's gonna start,
I think she's gonna rush over to Jace.
5, 10.
So she just jumps over here near Oisin.
Jace, I don't feel good.
(players laugh)
- Why is that the funniest bad guy?
(players laugh) - She is so funny!
- Just the lowest Charisma of anybody we've ever met.
- She can't attack anyone, so she runs.
- I just relate to her more than most- - Jace, do you have a-
- ...depictions of teenage girls. - ...juice or a bandaid?
(players laugh)
Yes, this is much more accurate.
- This is like "gray hoodie every day" kinda girl.
- I will say, when I was making the Rat Grinders,
I was like, "So much of this world is teen movies."
I was like, "Mary Ann will be an homage to real teenagers."
- Actual teens. - Yes. Actual teenagers.
- Yes. - Yes.
- I don't feel good. - Okay.
(players laugh)
What level is Slowness?
- It is 3rd level.
- Buddy looks over and says,
"Let the angry screams of Bacharath cleanse you
of this terrible magic, brother,"
and touches Ruben, casting Dispel Magic.
But that's his whole turn,
instead of doing anything damaging.
- Oh, Dispel Magic?
I'm gonna Counterspell that.
- Great! - I don't want
this fucker having...
Yeah, Counterspell.
- Oh shit!
It goes away! (hands clap)
- [Siobhan] 3rd level.
- You look over and Ruben says,
"Wanda, why do you want me Slowed?"
- Because I wanna see you fucking dead!
- What? - I wanna see you
die fucking slowly. (players laugh)
- No!
(players laugh) - I'm fucking Figueroth Faeth
and you wasted my fucking season!
You were a waste of time!
- [Brennan] What?
What do you mean?
You're killing my friends!
I had to Psychic Scream!
- [Emily] You suck!
You don't deserve a 9th level spell.
Your music sucks now,
it sucked then. - What?
No, it's song of the summer! - There's not genre
in which you can take refuge.
- What? - Your natural shittiness
will leak into every chord you play
for the rest of your life,
which is gonna be fucking short.
(players cackling)
- Oh my god! - Unbelievable!
Okay, he's still Slowed.
He is still Slowed.
Buddy goes, "I don't understand!
Why would Bacharath abandon me in my moment of need?
Bacharath! (players laugh)
I believe in you!" - Don't you love me?
- And you see Jace goes,
"Buddy, Bacharath is not real!"
And you see that Adaine Abernant,
it's gonna be your turn.
- [Siobhan] Oh, hell yeah!
Can you pass over a 20 foot radius sphere for me?
- Here we go!
- Gorgeous! - [Murph] I don't feel good.
- Oh, look at that! - Oh no!
- Oh wow! - Oh, what?
- Oh my god!
Oh no! - Yeah!
- They grouped up!
- Oh fucking no! - Oisin.
- The vultures get their,
because they grappled Oisin.
- That's every single one of your guys
in that little circle.
- [Murph] The vultures were (indistinct)
- I cannot believe that clustering.
God dammit!
- I just sat here just watching you
cluster all of them into my little fucking web.
- The Rat Grinders would cluster.
- If you hadn't Slowed them
(players laugh)
so that they all are going...
They were clustering to get dispelled.
Oh my god! - Yes.
- Okay. - And this spell
has 120 foot range.
- [Ally] Okay.
- I'm casting Synaptic Static,
which is an Intelligence saving throw for them.
- Oh my god!
Okay. Your DC is 18?
- My DC is 18. - So you're out of range
of Counterspells.
- I'm out of range of Counterspells.
- Yeah!
- Wow!
Holy shit! - What?
- Okay.
Here we go. Here we go. (Ally whistles)
Okay, we'll roll one by one.
This will be for Ruben.
Ruben did not make it.
Intelligence, let's see here.
(intense music)
No, there's no fucking way.
Mary Ann, she's really cool, but-
(players laugh)
- Not hyper intelligent? - She's so nice!
- I'm not gonna lie to you.
Mary Ann gets a minus one to Intelligence saving throws
and made the save.
She rolled a 19 on the die. - What?
- Buddy fails as well.
Oisin?
Let's see how our buddy Oisin is doing here.
We'll roll for Jace as well.
Jace does not succeed either.
- Jace looks like Harry Potter.
- [Emily] Yeah.
(Emily laughs)
- He does look like Harry Potter.
- And then Oisin-
- He has a wand. - I don't know, guys.
- [Murph] Does he have a wand?
- [Ally] I guess I don't see the front.
I just see the wand and a scarf.
- He's got red glasses. - Just regular
clothes, I guess.
- [Ally] And hat.
- Oisin succeeds.
- I will Silvery Barbs Mary Ann.
- Okay.
(die rolling)
And Mary Ann fails.
- Ooh! - Great.
So they each take
30 damage,
except for Oisin who takes 15.
All of the ones that failed,
"The target has muddled thoughts for one minute.
During that time it rolls a d6
and subtracts the number rolled from all of its attack rolls
and ability checks as well as its Constitution saving throws
to maintain Concentration."
- Yeah! - Unbelievable!
- Yeah! - And then,
they make Intelligence saving throws
at the end of each of their turns.
- These guys' bells are getting rung.
Wait, you said it's 30 damage for all-
- 30 damage each. Yes.
- Okay.
- Everybody but Oisin
will roll any Constitution checks with disadvantage.
- Okay, Mary Ann has that as well.
Mary Ann has resistance to psychic damage.
So you see her. - Okay, great.
- Buddy's gonna take a full 30.
Buddy has to roll
a very important Concentration saving throw.
I think Ruben does as well.
- Oh wait, I can't Silvery Barbs Mary Ann
'cause I'm more than 60 feet away from her.
- Okay, so never mind. - Oh!
- So in that case, she's just gonna take seven.
- So she'll just take seven damage
and she doesn't have the minus d6.
- Hell yes.
Jace is gonna take 30.
Very importantly, as you damage Jace with this spell,
you get the sensation that,
because you went before Jace in the initiative,
something very important has happened,
that you have hurt Jace in a meaningful way
before he does something very frightening.
- [Lou] Mm!
- So we're gonna roll. - Do you wanna take-
- It's DC 15. - Why don't you take the card
'cause this is my last 5th level spell?
So I can't cast... - Synaptic Static, wow!
- Keep the change!
- This is really fucking handy.
- Keep the change!
- So this is very significant for Ruben,
who's focusing on Fig.
(intense music)
- What? - 16 minus 3 is 13.
What's he add to Constitutions?
As long as he has a plus two.
(intense music continues)
He only has a plus one.
Ruben loses Concentration.
Jesus, that's so bad!
Buddy is gonna roll.
This is also incredibly significant.
14 minus 5!
That's a nine on the die!
Does he have a plus six? Oh, he does have a plus six.
Okay, Buddy just saves.
Then, Mary Ann makes her save.
Oisin is not rolling.
He's already been walloped.
He has no Concentration to speak of.
Jace, and you'll see why in a second,
is gonna roll four simultaneous Concentration saving throws.
- Oh my god! - Whoa!
- Four Concentration? - Four Patronuses.
(players laugh)
- Hagrid's big egg!
(players laugh)
- It's gonna roll out.
- K2 eats Hagrid's big egg.
(players laugh)
- And that's her movement.
- You feel Jace fail three of four
Concentration saving throws. - Great!
- Yeah! (Brennan shouts)
- [Ally] Oh my god!
- [Brennan] Unbelievable!
- [Lou] Only one of Hagrid's big egg is gonna come up.
- Okay, Adaine, that's your action.
Any bonus actions, any movement?
- I actually might go
under the stage with Kristen.
- The two of you fucking floating around
down there. - [Siobhan] Just to get cover.
- [Brennan] Cool!
- You know, since we're...
Uh! But, mm.
But for Counterspells.
Maybe I'll actually just move over to here.
- Sailing forward with the Sword of Sight in your hand.
That is Adaine's turn.
Mazey has got the bag of votes,
sees Fabian prostrate on the ground
with Porter towering over him,
is going to leap into battle.
Oh my god! Thanks!
I don't know, I feel complicated
about some of the stuff you said,
but it was all in my defense and I- (Emily laughs)
- The skinning part?
- What's that?
Don't! (players laugh)
- Or bitch with a hard B!
- Yeah. (players laugh)
- I think it was the losing the virginity part.
- There was a lot that I said.
- Wow, it seems like there's a lot-
- On a rug made of elf skin. - I thought it was all poetry.
- Mazey's gonna grant you a d10 Bardic Inspiration die.
- Great. (players laugh)
- She is gonna make- - You are an elf.
- Yeah, that's kinda why I feel weird about it.
- And he is, too.
- Well, kinda. Yeah.
- And takes unarmed strikes at Porter.
Now we see why Adaine beating Jace in initiative
was so fucking significant.
And you caught him before the split.
Jace turns into four different versions of himself,
(slurps) spreading out across the battlefield
and is now going to go.
- Mirror Image style?
- It looks like each of these sub-versions
have Mirror Images of themselves.
But he has some greater casting of Mirror Image
as he splits up to move across the battlefield.
- So it could have been 12?
- Well, the main thing is you dealt 30 damage
to all four of these before the split
that he failed on one saving throw.
- Got it. - Mm!
- So basically, you turned 30 damage into 120 damage.
- Great. (Zac whistles)
- Okay, I'm going to need
a Wisdom saving throw from Figueroth.
- Okay.
(die rolling)
(intense music continues)
Fail.
- With Bless also?
- Yeah, even with Bless, it can't get me there.
- That last Concentration check,
this Jace Prime moves forward
to be nearer to Porter, looking at you,
looking down at Oisin,
and uses his whole action
for the Detect Thoughts that he has on you,
and goes, "Name?"
And on a failed save,
you can feel the- (players laugh)
- You don't have a Luck point or anything to-
- Yeah, I'll try a Luck point.
(die rolling) (intense music continues)
It's worse.
- Dives through, grabs the name.
You can see him stand there
with the Detect Thoughts
look up and say, "Porter!
Porter, we need the votes!"
and leap back.
That's his action.
The rest are now going to go.
And you see that he shouts the name aloud in this space.
As he does so,
the gym comes even further apart.
- Oh! - Oh wow!
- Oh! - Oh maybe I'm gonna
fall into the lava.
- Oh shit!
It's on like wires!
- Oh wow!
Oh wow!
- How are they doing that?
Oh wow!
That's cool!
- That's so sick!
- [Zac] It's funny when bad things are happening to us
and you're like- - [Murph] Awesome, lava.
- [Siobhan] This is stuck to here, I think.
- Cool! And then we can leave that right there.
That's great for right now.
Some of you that were getting total cover
see that, as these come apart even more,
some visibility is exposed,
people can see you and not see you.
But Ivy's still there,
Fabian's still here with Porter.
Or actually, Fabian, you kind of drop a little bit
underneath Porter, who stays up on this segment.
- Whoa!
- These guys are sort of floating up and further away.
The rats are still back over there.
Gorgug, you're still back over there.
So-
- Should I do a Dex save or fall into the lava?
- Not yet. You don't need to do it yet.
- (mouthing) We're fireproof. - Also, these other Jaces
are going to go.
I'm going to need from...
Okay, that Jace is there.
This one is gonna reel over to see Fabian.
This one is gonna go for Fig
and this one is gonna look over at Adaine.
I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw from Fabian.
- We have an advantage on those because of-
- Being so cold. - [Siobhan] Ice Feast,
and Bless as well.
- 'Cause of all that damn ice I ate. (dice rolling)
Oh baby!
(die rolling)
- That's a three.
- Okay.
3, 11, 7, 18.
- Okay, 18 passes.
- Okay, I was ready to use the Bardic, but I don't have to.
- Oh wait. Hold on one second.
You might need to use that Bardic.
Sorry, I'm on the wrong
stat block - God dammit!
- Yes, you may wanna roll that Bardic.
(die rolling)
- 23.
- 23 passes!
- Oh, thank god! - Woo!
- Okay.
You are going to take
(too many dice ratting)
26...
- It's over, baby.
- 28.
That's gonna do it?
- [Lou] Yeah.
Only had seven.
- Finger of Death.
(Brennan imitates explosion)
Necrotic damage.
Fabian drops.
I could be wrong. I think it just drops you to zero.
I think you're making death saves.
- I think- - As opposed to being dead?
- [Murph] Unless it specifically says-
- Yeah, unless it specifically says.
"A humanoid killed by this spell
rises at the start of the nearest turn."
But you're not killed.
So you're at zero.
You're making death saves.
- Okay. - Fabian drops.
- Fabian!
- Yeah, one's gonna go for you.
I'm gonna need an Intelligence saving throw.
- Okay.
(die rolling)
17.
Oh, actually.
(dice rolling)
I rolled a four on it. 21.
- 21 saves!
(pleasant adventure music)
- What happens on a save?
- Better than failing!
(Siobhan laughs)
- Oh god!
- Why? What's up?
What's going on?
- Oh, I just have one hit point, that's why.
- Yes, yes, yes. (players laugh)
- (indistinct)
Yeah, I believe you are gonna go down still
just from taking half.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's only 12 points of damage,
but halved to six. - Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
Fig and Fabian both making death saves way in the end zone.
Our last one here is gonna go for Adaine.
(adventurous music builds)
Let me see.
Does he have the range?
- [Ally] Okay. Okay.
- Cool.
Jace runs up here next to Ruben,
is gonna hit Adaine with another spell.
Go ahead and gimme a Constitution saving throw.
- With advantage.
(dice rolling) (adventurous music continues)
- Dirty 20.
- You feel yourself restrained,
floating in midair
as you feel your skin begin to turn to stone.
(players groan)
- Oh!
- Oh dear! - This is bad.
Can you Flash of Genius? - Oh!
I have to be within 30 feet, I think.
- Damn! Okay, never mind. - Hold on one minute.
Let's see.
It's close. - Close?
- Let me see here.
- [Zac] Is this 30 feet?
- No. - Mm.
- You feel yourself beginning to turn to stone.
- Yes, this is pretext. - In the first round,
all it is is you are restrained.
- Yeah. - We continue in initiative.
That's all the Jaces.
Gorgug Thistlespring, that is your turn.
(intense rock music) - Shit!
- This is your first turn?
- This is my first turn.
- You go, baby. - We do have to,
we gotta fucking kill Oisin
before we get around to Buddy again.
- Yeah.
- Gorgug.
I have Fly and I have Haste.
So I have 120 movement. - Oh my god!
- So I think I'm flying all the way to here.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- I have enough room to get to Porter,
but I'm flying to here
and I'm gonna take a Returning axe throw on Oisin.
- Okay.
- Reckless. - Reckless. Here you go.
- Thank you. (dice rolling)
- 18 plus 12?
- Absolutely gonna do it.
- Okay.
- Doesn't Gorgug crit on 18?
(players laugh)
- [Siobhan] Yeah, I'm pretty sure he does.
- Worth a shot. Worth a shot.
- [Ally] Doesn't he? - That's-
- Yeah.
That sounds really familiar.
- Should I roll?
I mean, if I can kill him in one hit-
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- I will do something else.
So should I see if that actually-
- Roll damage if you wanna do it piece by piece.
Go for it. (rock music continues)
- Okay. (die rolling)
That is only gonna be...
With my potion, my damage,
my just basic stuff that I add to it, goes up to 11.
So I did 14 damage.
- 14 damage.
Oisin is still up,
but looking absolutely terrible.
(rock music continues)
- I will do one more.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Make sure to cut his head off so he can't be revivified.
(players laugh)
Riz says, like a maniac.
- 20. (players laugh)
That's gonna be a 24.
- That's gonna hit.
- Okay. And this is just- - Riz is awesome!
- Yes, Riz!
(players laugh) (die rolling)
(rock music continues)
- That's gonna be another 15 damage.
- On death's door.
(rock music continues)
- Oh god!
- I will use my Frenzy-
- Cool. - Attack on him.
- That's your d12. - Gotcha.
- Oh, whoops!
(rock music continues)
(dice rolling)
Nat 20.
- Unbelievable!
(Emily laughs)
- Bye!
So that would be-
- Maybe this cuts his head off?
- Yeah. - Yeah!
- We're all thinking the same thing, right?
- Crit? - We're all thinking
the same thing. - Yeah, sounds like
it cuts his head off to me. - These are re-rolled.
Well, actually, all of them are re-roll 'cause-
- Why?
Were they... - Ones and twos.
- Oh! Oh, sorry! (dice rolling)
Thought maybe we were honoring something.
(players laugh) - That's a 19 plus 6 plus-
- [Lou] Thought you were taking some time to maybe reflect.
- [Ally] Maybe you had honor for something?
- 25, 35. - [Murph] I don't want
any of you talking to me. (Siobhan laughs)
- Describe what this looks like
as you hit Oisin with all three of these blows.
- I just keep spinning around,
flying through the air like a little tornado,
screaming, (players laugh)
on hold with the podcast producer and-
(players laugh)
- Yes!
- And just thrown the last axe into Oisin's chest.
- Split his chest, bam!
Sundering the floor even more underneath him.
Oisin is no more.
So Fig and Fabian are both down, making death saves.
Ivy and Oisin are both defeated.
Ruben and Mary Ann are still Slowed.
Buddy is maintaining Concentration on something,
and Jace has quadrupled
- On Haste, if I can use this last action
to take an attack on Porter?
- Hell yeah! - And try to Grapple him
and pull him this way.
- If you wanna take him and make-
- I just wanna shove him against the wall.
- How much speed did you use getting here?
- So I was right here, and this is, I think, 90.
- [Brennan] 90. Gotcha.
- Or if you wanna check it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lemme see here.
So this is 80.
Yeah, so about 90, right?
- So I wanna try to grab him
and throw him against the wall over here
to keep him out of-
- [Brennan] How much movement do you have left?
- 30.
- Okay, so a Grapple with him
and you could move him 15 feet away,
over to this corner.
Go ahead and roll.
He's gonna roll.
I'm not gonna lie, he's gonna roll with advantage.
Porter, to Athletics, adds 15.
- Okay.
- I add...
Right now, my Athletics is 12.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- I add 12.
- He rolls an 8, which is 23.
So you need to beat a 23.
- [Lou] You got this, dude. (die rolling)
- I rolled a 30.
- Unbelievable!
So Porter's standing over Fig and Fabian,
goes, "I'm gonna watch you burn!"
And what does he feel on his back?
- [Zac] Let's burn together!
And just pull him away.
- So you grab him, yank his throat
and pull this giant,
slamming him into the wall over here,
away from Mazey, away from everybody else,
out of range of all of them,
grappled onto his back.
Gonna take little Gorgug here
and I'm just gonna blue tack you onto his fucking back.
Gorgug, you are on his back,
trying to dodge the spiky crystals there
as you are flying. - David and Goliath!
- Amazing!
So that's your turn, correct? - That would be my turn.
- Oisin went right after you, did not
even get a turn in combat. - Yes!
- If they're the most dangerous,
we need to fucking focus fire.
- Oh.
Tell Grandma I said, "Hello." - Okay.
(players laugh)
At the end of your turn,
Porter's gotta take a swing.
So he is grappled by you.
He Recklesses, so you know that you have advantage on him.
- Mm-hmm.
(dice rolling)
- That's gonna be a hit on Gorgug.
33 force damage to you. - Fabian's high on-
- And that's not halved?
- Unless you have a way of halving it.
- Well, just because of Rage, I wasn't sure if force-
- No, no, no, no.
So yeah, he deals 33 force damage.
It's just so much harder than anything you've ever felt,
Wham!
As this maul slams into you.
That's his first Legendary Action.
After that, it's gonna go back to the top.
Riz, that is you.
- Okay.
Can I, since I just hit Kipperlilly with a sword,
can I do an Investigation check to see if I see...
So I just need to get within 10 feet of her?
- Yes. - So difficult terrain.
I'm hoping I can just...
First off, am I in within 10 feet of her right now?
- You are not within 10 feet of her right now.
- Can I do an Investigation check to see
if there's blood splatters at all or anything?
Just enough to get me like in her general area
to see where to move.
- Let's have it roll off as you surge forward.
So she's gonna roll Stealth.
She has Reliable Talent.
I will let you know right now, as you jump forward,
you need to beat a 27 on an Investigation-
- Okay. - ...in order
to spot Kipperlilly.
What do you need to roll on the die in order to do that?
- 13.
- 13, okay.
(die rolling)
- No good.
- She has gone somewhere outside of where the blood...
She's crawled to some other platform that you cannot see.
- Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Kipperlilly, Kipperlilly, Kipperlilly.
- I also know where she is on the battlefield,
but in other words, if you were to move there,
your Blindsense would pick her up.
- Great. - But it's just that
you can't use an Investigation to auto know where she is.
- I'm going to
hop under,
just do a straight drop down to the ground,
sort of beneath.
Just ploop!
- Gotcha. Cool, cool, cool. - So five.
And then, is it difficult terrain once I'm down here?
- Quite, yes.
- Oh it is. Okay, never mind.
Okay.
I can't get too far then.
I'll go to here.
- [Brennan] Cool.
- Is she there anywhere?
- Oh, she's not there.
- Okay.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Okay, so what should I do?
What should I do?
- There's so many casters.
- Yeah.
- (indistinct) you have Misty Step.
- I do have...
That's true.
- The railing into Misty Step.
- Okay.
Yeah, first thing's first.
Maybe I'll hop down,
use as little movement as possible.
I think that's 10 feet just to get down there,
and then I'm going to Misty Step 30 feet
to get just further across the battlefield here to-
- [Brennan] Cool.
- I guess, right at the edge of that lava.
- [Brennan] Cool. Go for it.
- [Murph] And do I sense her anywhere?
- As you move further through there,
you do not sense her anywhere.
So you're moving to this little island in the center.
- However far I can get across 30 feet, I will go,
however far 30 feet is across under
the bleachers here. - Gotcha.
Yeah, for sure.
You just get under these bleachers here?
- Or no. Just kinda in the middle so that I have options.
- [Brennan] Line of sight?
Yeah, yeah. Gotcha. - Yeah.
- We'll throw you right in here.
- [Murph] Okay.
(intense music)
- Here we go.
- [Murph] Yeah. And then I guess, you know what I'll do?
Why don't I do a Misty...
Okay, so I can get to there.
- Yeah. - Great.
And then from there, I guess I can't...
Can I see Porter from there?
- Yeah, he's up on the wall right here.
You can see him from where you are.
- Great.
Yeah. I'll just take a shot at Porter, I guess.
- He's within five feet of an ally.
You'll get Sneak Attack. - Why not?
- Great. - Why not?
- [Murph] Okay.
- And Porter's uninjured in this combat.
- Yeah.
Come on! - Aw!
(intense music continues)
- Oh baby!
That's
31.
- [Brennan] Ooh! That is a hit.
- And I don't know if he's gonna have resistance to this,
but kind of as a bit,
we changed the gun to be radiant damage
for photosynthesis.
- We did!
- Which might do more damage than the piercing
that it used to do.
- Absolutely!
All right.
- Just in case his Rage doesn't help with that.
(dice rattling)
Let's see.
(dice rolling) (intense music continues)
- Straight up Beardsley energy.
That was crazy! (players laugh)
Okay.
12. - The Kramer of dice rolls.
(players laugh)
- You can't call yourself the Kramer of that!
- Then I didn't.
- I think it was good enough that you can,
(Siobhan laughs)
especially in that outfit.
(players laugh)
- 43 damage?
- Whoa!
- [Siobhan] Nice! (players laugh)
- And then I cannot hide,
but I would like to use the rest of my five feet of movement
to completely submerge myself in lava.
(Ally gasps) (Siobhan laughs)
(upbeat rock music)
- [Ally] That's right!
- Okay. - That's right!
That's right! That's fire! - Oh, because we're immune
to fire? - That's right!
- Oh no! - We're immune to fire!
- What's Kipperlilly gonna do?
- That's why I was trying to get dropped into the lava!
- [Murph] I just swim.
I just (shivers)
- I'm gonna say, on me not understanding
that Ice Feast would do this,
(players laugh)
you see Kipperlilly right here go, "What the fuck?"
(players laugh)
- This is why I was trying to say I needed to do a Dex save
to fall in the lava.
- Unbelievable! - Wow!
- As Riz goes, "Bloop!" into the fucking lava.
(Siobhan laughs) - Oh my god!
- [Brennan] Wait!
This is only a hazard to my guys!
- Yep. - Yeah.
(Brennan laughs) - Why did I do this?
- You wrote the spell!
It's a homebrewed spell!
And then you reminded us-
- Don't make up your own spells.
Don't do it. (players laugh)
Don't do it. - We weren't sure
it was a hazard to your guys, at least.
(players laugh) - Yeah.
But it's good to know!
- Yeah, that's very real.
- We're all gonna go down there
and just straight up fight us in the lava.
- Unbelievable! - Fight me in the lava!
- Okay, that is your turn, Riz.
You jump into the lava.
Figueroth, you have one hit point
and we have gotten to your turn.
- No, I have zero hit points now.
- [Brennan] Oh no, you have zero.
That's right. Yes, yes, yes.
Now you have zero.
- It's okay.
All I need to do is crit. - Death save.
- I don't.
I fail.
- All right, that is a failure.
Fabian, let's get a death save from you.
- What's up, dude? - No!
- You ready for this crit?
- Yeah. - I am!
- Get the bad ones out.
Ready for it. - Yeah, get the bad ones out.
(blows) You know, not that one.
- Yeah, okay. - This is it.
This is it. - Okay.
- (blows) Get that out.
Get that out. - Okay, okay.
- Come on. (Lou blows)
- [Siobhan] Great, great.
Yeah. Here we go.
- Be good.
Be good for me. - Maybe me and Fabian
should have been giving each other the Help action
while we're down here, dead. - In death?
(players laugh)
(die rolling)
(tense music)
- Ooh! So close!
- It's not. It's a 16 though.
- I thought it was a one. - All right.
- [Siobhan] Yeah, it was close.
- [Brennan] All right.
- I have to make a Concentration check.
I forgot. - Oh, for your Haste.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go for it. - And that's with advantage?
(dice rolling)
- [Brennan] With advantage.
- Yes. - And Bless.
- Yes. - Oh no, not Bless.
(dice rolling) (tense music continues)
- 18 plus 8, 26.
- Yeah, you make it.
No worries.
Fabian, end of your turn,
Porter taking another swing on Gorgug.
That's a hit.
(tense music continues)
Here we go.
That's gonna be...
You take 33 points of force damage.
(Brennan roars)
He looks at you,
"You were always a little fucking weakling!
You don't know the first thing about how to get mad!"
- I feel like I'm pretty fucking mad right now.
- What were you gonna do?
Unless I dragged you outta that stupid fucking tree.
- You're a fucking horrible teacher. (laughs)
You're a bad teacher.
- No, I'm not! - Look at what you're doing.
(players laugh)
- This is fucking good!
I'll teach the whole world!
Whacks you again with the hammer.
That is gonna be Kristen Applebees' turn.
- Cool. Okay.
(tense music continues)
- I'm not doing great.
Yeah.
(tense music continues)
- I'm fine.
(players laugh)
- So you're continuing to fly.
You get all the way over there.
Awesome. - And I'm still underneath.
So I'm underneath this floorboard.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- Who's in a 30 foot radius?
Can I get everybody?
Where are you?
- Oh wow! That's right!
You're flying underneath.
You've got that cover!
- I'm here.
- Oh, you're underneath. - You got that good good.
- Good for you!
Smart!
- 30.
If you're there, 30 is all of your allies,
and then not quite Adaine,
but I'm trying to think.
- [Emily] Who hasn't been hurt yet.
- I have, I took that first, the Ruben.
- [Emily] Okay.
- [Brennan] If you were here,
would that bring you to 30 to Adaine?
Adaine would be there and you'd get everybody
if you were right in that spot.
- So I'm there. I'm underneath,
I'm gonna Mass Cure Wounds everybody.
- Does that require line of sight
for you to be able to cast?
- "A wave of healing energy washes from a point
of your choice within range.
Up to six creatures in a 30 foot radius
centered on that point.
Each target regains hit points."
- [Brennan] Nothing about sight?
- Doesn't say anything about sight.
- Unbelievable!
- Yes! - So you are
un-Counterspell-able
by the fucking army of spellcasters
before you, due to some incredibly clever tactics.
(dice rolling)
- Okay!
That is...
Let's see.
(tense music continues)
9,
17,
20...
3.
- Yes!
- [Ally] 23 HP back to all of you.
- Oh my god! - Four of you?
- [Brennan] How many people?
- It can be up to six.
- Okay. - Creatures of my choice.
- Mazey is also slightly injured,
so she'll take 23 as well.
- Yeah, if you're there too.
Yeah. - Why not?
- Hell yeah!
- 60. - Oh yeah!
'Cause you're underneath!
I just didn't see you. - Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah, great.
So all of you guys.
And then I can also, with my Aura of Vitality bonus action,
cure a little bit more.
And I don't think that counts as a spell
'cause I've already cast- - No, it's already
cast in this. - Rad!
- How much is that?
- This is just 2d6.
But who would like a...
Yeah? Fig?
Okay. - Yeah.
- Oh no!
It's three. I'm sorry.
- I will take three! - That's such a poor roll.
- [Brennan] Unbelievable, Kristen!
Fig and Fabian are back up.
(players gasp)
- I was a ghost, and then I died!
- [Ally] Question for you, Brennan.
- Yes. - If it's all in a row,
is it still difficult terrain
if K2 is running on this little corner?
- No, just on that, that one's gonna be normal.
- [Murph] I think you can also.
Mass Cure Wounds, it doesn't radiate from you, right?
- Yeah. I can pick a choice within range.
Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure.
- So it's 30 feet within 60.
- Oh, okay. Great!
So then I'll get even a little bit more hidden.
I'll be in the middle of this, underneath,
and then I'll have chosen that point,
just roughly. - Point! Amazing!
- Still invisible right here.
- Awesome! - And so,
I'm just gonna be inching forward.
- You could probably hit 'em with another Mass Cure Wounds
if you have the spell slots, or if-
- I could use some more health if you-
- Yeah, these guys are gonna go down every turn.
- Okay.
Yeah, let's do it
- Doubling up.
- K2's gonna do Mass Cure Wounds?
- She is!
- She's invisible.
- And she's invisible. - So again.
- Invisible.
- Can't Counter!
Oh my god!
(dice rolling) - A lot worse.
(players laugh)
Much, much worse.
Okay.
- Hooey! - 10.
- I will take it. - I'll take it.
- I will take it. - Did you add your Con?
- I did.
(players laugh) - [Murph] Or Wis, yeah.
- Unbelievable though!
What are our hit point totals now?
We've gone from zero to-
- 36.
- [Brennan] 36.
- 33. - 33.
Wow!
- I'm at 105. 'cause of Ice Feast.
- 'Cause of Ice Feast.
Goddamn! - I come back to life,
but I'm playing dead. - 78.
- Gotcha.
78. Gotcha, gotcha.
Okay.
Ruben is gonna look at Mazey
and he's gonna make her make a Wisdom saving throw
as he plays his guitar.
And you hear what he says as he goes,
♪ Throw the bag in the lava ♪
And is gonna try to get her to throw the bag in the lava.
But first, he's Slowed,
so he has to roll to see if it happens this turn or not.
- Okay. - "An 11 or higher,
spell doesn't take effect."
- Come on!
Big money! Big money!
(die rolling)
- Three. (intense music continues)
- I have a reaction, right?
Since I'm back up?
- You're back up and you have a reaction.
- And I had a turn.
Do I have a reaction?
- You have line of sight on him. Yeah.
- Do you guys want me to Counterspell this?
- Yeah!
- Yes? Let's do it? - Give it a shot.
- All right. - Up to you.
- [Brennan] Okay.
Counterspell.
- You need a 10 or higher.
- I have to roll for it?
- Oh, sorry!
Well, he's casting Dominate Person so-
- Oh, he is!
- He's casting- - Okay, well,
I didn't know that,
so I was only doing a 3rd level.
I thought he was doing Suggestion, that's why.
10 or higher? - 10 or higher. Here we go.
(die rolling)
- Ooh!
Seven. - You gotta a honor!
- Flash of Genius.
- Oh shit!
There it is! - Thank you!
- That gets you...
Oh, there it is!
So he (imitates guitar strumming)
and you whoa!
Smack that out of the air.
- Last one.
- Mm.
- Actually, you know what?
- There's a bunch of Jaces nearby
who can see Fig in this moment.
- Okay.
- They know there's a flock of them,
so they're gonna try to do it with 3rd level spell slots.
But these are the dudes, these guys right here.
This one I'm gonna say does not have
line of sight to you.
So we're just gonna roll- - I mean, my Counterspell
was only a 3rd level Counterspell.
- [Brennan] Okay. Gotcha.
- So the first one it does it, it will work.
- Copy that. Okay.
So Counterspell, it takes place.
Bam!
You see Mazey gets hit with that Dominate Person.
- She had both waves of the Mass Healing Word, right?
- Yes, yes. She got both of them.
I'm gonna just roll a Luck check though
because, the way reactions work,
I don't think there would be coordination between the Jaces.
So I'm gonna see if they would've fired off
a volley of Counterspells at the same time.
We'll just call it high and low.
So one through 10, they fired off a Counterspell,
even though it was redundant.
(die rolling)
Six.
One of them's used a reaction
to fire off another Counterspell.
(die rolling)
10.
All three of them Counter the same spell.
Use their reactions. (Emily laughs)
This one in the back has not used his reaction yet.
After Ruben, it is Porter's turn.
Porter is going to-
- Can he move?
- He's grappled by- - Oh, he's grappled.
That's right!
Okay.
So in that case,
I'm gonna see if he recharges one of his abilities.
He does, but he's not gonna use it
'cause he's fucking grappled right now.
First thing's first is,
who's within 60 feet of Porter and can see him?
- I mean, technically we were on the ground.
- I don't know if I am.
You might wanna-
- Yeah, you're there.
So Riz is in the lava still.
Kristen is under this, so it doesn't,
but K2 is gonna need to do this.
I'm gonna need Wisdom savings throws from everybody.
- Okay. - Just because
we can see him?
- See him.
No, sorry. Actually, it's hear him, too.
So only Riz is saved.
Even the one underneath him, it's see and hear him.
- We don't do that with advantage, right?
- No.
(dice rolling)
- Nat 20. - [Murph] Fuck this.
(dice rolling)
- 19 on the die, bitch!
(Lou sighs)
- That's an 11 for me.
- 16 for Fig.
- I got a 26.
- 10
- 10? - Nat 20,
and then a 25.
- Okay.
Both Kristens save.
The failed save, actually, in this instance does not matter.
It is a Frightening Presence.
So everyone is Frightened as he (roars) bellows.
You're raging. - Okay.
- So you're- - Heart of Vulture King.
- Heart of the Vulture King
- Immune to fear for 24 hours.
- Okay. Amazing.
Fig, you are frightened.
Adaine.
Oh sorry. Actually...
What's that? - Oh, I have to roll
with disadvantage. - You have to
roll with disadvantage, yep.
(die rolling) (intense music continues)
- Well, I rolled a three on my Bless,
so that's seven plus eight,
which is probably not high enough.
- 15? - 15.
No, 15 is not high enough.
- Did he have to roll to do this?
No, because he's gonna use a multiattack,
he just does his Frightful Presence.
You see him bellowing as he goes.
"I'm the new god of wrath.
I will bring this town
into the afterlife with me
and rule as I restore
the House of Cliffbreaker to our rightful place!"
He is going to take swings on you, Gorgug.
He's gonna do Reckless.
So he's gonna roll Recklessly.
(dice rolling)
- Just to double check,
that Flash of Genius was used
in that Counterspell. - Yes.
Yes, it was.
(dice rolling) (intense music continues)
That is a hit.
- So remember that he used Reckless Attack
so you don't have to.
- To use it on him?
Yeah. - Mm-hmm.
- Gorgug, I'm gonna need you to make three
Strength saving throws.
- You got this, Gorgug.
- You got this! - First one.
- Gorgug, you got this! (dice rolling)
- Bless, and don't forget to add your new Strength.
- This is
24.
(intense music continues)
28 on the first one.
- Amazing. Save.
- And then, second one-
- Mm. (dramatic music)
(dice rolling)
- Is
29.
- Mm! - Okay.
- And the third one
(dice rolling)
is
30.
- Unbelievable!
You are not knocked prone
by this fucking giant.
However, he deals 32 force damage.
(dramatic music continues) - Okay.
- He deals 34 force damage
(tense music)
and he crits on his last attempt.
However, this one's not force damage.
This is him attempting to Grapple you with his fist
and instead just striking a blow with his off-hand.
- Silvery Barbs.
(Brennan gasps)
- Oh great! - Yes!
That's great! - Good call!
- Okay, you turn a crit into simply a hit.
He deals 20 halved to 10 bludgeoning damage
due to your Rage.
- I go down.
- Okay. - Fuck!
(Brennan imitates impact)
- Gorgug hits the deck.
You see Porter smashes the maul into Gorgug's head.
Gorgug goes unconscious
and he picks up with an object interaction
your prone body in his hand.
He turns to look at you, Adaine,
restrained, turning to stone in midair, and says,
"What do you want me to do with your friend?
Bite his head off?
Swallow it like a giant of old?"
- Why on earth would I want that, you freak?
You don't even know me.
What's my name?
(players laugh)
- Baelwyn.
(Murph laughs)
- That's two levels of wrong!
(players laugh)
- No? All right.
That is his turn,
and I think he's going to move from there
to get on the same platform as
Fig and Fabian.
- [Emily] Why? - Right next to both of you.
Holding Gorgug.
That is Porter.
Kipperlilly is gonna take a shot at Adaine.
(die rolling)
(intense music continues)
- Rude!
- She hits and deals
32 points of damage to Adaine,
and then she's going to make a Stealth check to vanish.
(wind whooshes) Disappears.
Going through this big wall of bad guys
that all go on the same initiative.
Mary Ann is still Slowed.
She has a speed of 30
that now is halved 15
and it's difficult terrain.
(players laugh)
You see that she moves one step over
and pulls on Jace's shirt going, "Jace,
I don't feel good.
(players laugh)
Help."
And that, I think, is her whole turn.
I think it's- - Can I do an Insight check?
Does Jace ignore her?
- No, Jace, now that she's tugging on him,
Jace is gonna have to do something about it.
(players laugh)
- He's gonna have to do something about it.
- Jace. (players laugh)
Jace.
(Brennan laughs)
- Jace, can we go?
- Jace. - Jace.
(players laugh) - Jace, can you call my mom?
(Ally laughs)
Can she pick me up?
Okay. - Can you turn the AC down?
(players laugh)
- Buddy is going to move over
to try,
he's gonna try to Dispel Magic on Ruben again.
(tense music)
As he does so,
to do this, he will need the spell...
Oh, Slowness is 3rd level.
So it'll automatically come off.
- Mm-hmm.
- He removes the Slowness (slurps) from Ruben
- [Siobhan] Such is life.
- Adaine, that is you.
I will remind you that Mazey goes right after you.
- Okay, so what does Restrained mean?
Can I- - Restrained,
your speed is zero,
and at the end of your turn
you will have to start making saves
to either beat the Flesh to Stone
or to succumb to it and turn to stone.
- So I have a crunchy question about that
because I'm flying. - Mm-hmm.
Yes.
- Which means I don't actually have to move my body to move.
- For our purposes,
Flesh to Stone is fixing you in location.
- Great. Gorgeous.
I had to check.
- Had to check.
Can't knock the hustle.
- I will...
Yeah. God, and everybody's so far away from me.
- Mazey has Dominate Person on her from Ruben.
This Jace has not used his reaction yet.
Buddy is Concentrating on something.
You don't know what.
All of these ones have used their reactions already.
Mary Ann is still Slowed.
These two are dead.
Porter is slightly injured,
but holding an unconscious Gorgug in his hand
with Fig and Fabian on either side of him.
- I am going to Dispel Magic on Mazey.
- [Brennan] Okay.
- 4th level.
- Okay.
Jace is gonna come at you with the Counterspell,
but he's gonna have to roll.
He needs a nine or higher.
We'll roll Box of Doom.
- Mm.
- I'll 4th level Counterspell his Counterspell.
(intense music continues)
- Yeah.
- That's button up. - Are there
any more Jaces left? - All those Jaces
used their reaction?
- Oh, they all used their reaction.
- And they're also too far away from me.
- Yeah, put that down.
- Put that a little box down. - Yeah!
- You know they just played a dramatic sting.
- Put my partner down!
- Incredible!
So go ahead and gimme your Dispel Magic roll.
You're trying to beat a 5th level spell.
You're gonna roll-
- 10 plus the spell's level.
- Yes, you need a DC 15
and you're rolling-
- Using my spellcasting ability,
so I need to get a 10.
- You need to get a 10. (die rolling)
- I got a 16. - Yes!
- Hell yes!
(imitates explosion)
The spell leaves Mazey.
Any bonus actions from Adaine?
Oh, at the end of the turn you need to roll
for Flesh to Stone again.
- Yeah, I'll just roll for Flesh to Stone again.
And it's a Constitution saving throw?
- It's a Constitution saving throw.
- Great. (dice rolling)
- Great.
- (exhales) That's a crit.
- 20! - [Brennan] Unbelievable!
- [Siobhan] I've rolled for so long.
- Unbelievable! You're still restrained
but you make your first save.
Three saves and the spell is over.
- You have Fly on you still, just-
- Do I still have Fly on me?
- Yeah, 'cause you went down but I-
- Yeah. Yeah.
She went down, but you're totally okay.
At the end of your turn,
Porter's gonna take a swing at Fabian.
- Don't!
- Fabian, what's your armor class?
- I mean, it's gone down since,
so I'm back down to a normal 19.
- For the first time in this combat, Porter misses.
- Oh! - You come back up
and he (roars) bam! And you move out of the way.
- Stupid idiot!
(Brennan roars)
Have we ever had a conversation?
(players laugh) - Oh man, he's so pissed.
He's unbelievably pissed.
You see Mazey is going to
multiattack Porter.
(intense music) - Cool!
- Crits.
- Yas, Mazey. - Yas, Mazey!
- Yas, Mazey. - It's all the Twister.
(Ally laughs)
(intense music continues)
And she deals 13, 26, 30 points of damage to Porter.
- Oh! - Yes!
- And she spins, she's on one hand,
just spinning kicks.
(imitates multiple impacts)
Deals 30 points of damage to Porter.
Bonus action. (foot thumps)
Heals Gorgug for eight with a Healing Word.
- Woo! - Nice!
- Gorgug comes back at eight
and that's gonna be our Jaces.
- So you're at eight now?
- I'm at eight.
(dice rolling)
- [Lou] Do you mind if I (indistinct)
- Adaine, this Jace here hits you with a Lightning Bolt.
Go ahead and roll a Dex save with disadvantage.
(dramatic music)
- I believe.
(dice rolling)
(Siobhan scoffs)
- Okay. - Okay. Okay,
- We'll take it!
- That's a dirty 20.
- Wow!
12.
So 25 halved to 12 lightning damage-
- Okay. - As he hits you
with a Lightning Bolt across the battlefield.
The rest of these guys, what are they gonna do?
'Cause you're all up in the mix.
- Why are you obsessed with me, you freak?
Why are all these teachers hitting me?
That's so messed up!
- I think they're evil.
- But why are they hitting me?
- I think they're pretty evil.
- Messed up!
- This one is going to cast Dispel Magic
on the Slow on Mary Ann
and get Mary Ann back in the mix.
Could you pass me your Bigby's Hands over there?
(Emily chuckles) - Why?
- 'Cause they're gonna make some hands show up.
- Those hands are really bad.
We've gotta get rid of these Jaces.
- I know.
- I feel like if we kill the main one,
the other one's might die. - I'm literally
crossing my fingers that I can-
- Yeah, the Jace Prime - Get a turn
to try and Fireball them.
- Jace Prime is the one with Mary Ann, right?
- [Lou] Yes, the Harry Potter looking one,
Patronus casting one. - Yes.
Yes.
- Hagrid's big egg.
- The one who's about to summon Hagrid's big egg.
- Do you have any Portent roles left?
- No, I used them all up in the last fight.
- Fabian. - [Lou] Dragon.
- [Siobhan] I know. - What?
- You get, that's 16.
- No!
- 23 points of force damage to Fabian.
- Ugh!
- Are you still up?
- From who? Yes.
- One of the Jaces creates a fist right next to you,
of arcane force, that strikes you.
The other one Grapples Mazey with the bag of votes.
- [Lou] No!
- Okay, that's all of the Jaces' turns.
All of their reactions reset.
Gorgug, you're in Porter's fist,
but it's your turn.
- So I lose my turn 'cause I lost Haste.
- At the end of your turn,
he is going to try to crush you with his hand.
- No! - Is that an attack?
- It is an attack.
- I will take my reaction to make him...
Hmm.
It doesn't work like this does it?
I'm trying to make him have disadvantage on the attack roll.
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay. - Is this
with Hologram Displacement? - Yeah.
- Cool.
So you can do Hologram Displacement as your reaction.
Because your armor class is a little bit low,
I think he can only miss you on a one or a two.
- Okay. - But he has disadvantage,
and if you do you get to teleport out of his hand.
- Yeah, I guess it's worth trying, right?
- Yeah.
If he rolls a nat one or a two.
(dice rolling) (tense music)
He still hits.
Gorgug, you go down again to zero.
- Okay.
(lips vibrate)
- Porter howls.
We see the gymnasium comes apart even more
as lightning ripples through this rage dimension.
We're gonna move stuff some more.
Yeah, go ahead and twist them up a little bit.
You see the Hangman begin to slide off towards the lava.
- Hangman!
- Rats are in the lava.
(Siobhan groans)
- Their livelihood!
- [Emily] Their livelihood!
- Did they eat Ice Feast?
They were out there in the tent.
- That's true! - They all had
life insurance policies on themselves.
(Siobhan laughs)
- So some of the distances and ranges
between people have changed here.
You see the gym change even more (imitates explosion)
as the dimension behind it begins to show
and holding Mazey,
looking at the bag in her hand, Porter howling.
In this moment, he reaches out and, as Legendary Action,
calls for everybody with a Rage token
to join his side,
which none of you have.
- Thank god! - Oh!
- Thank god! - Woof!
- And- - We knew they were bad.
- [Brennan] We knew! We knew! - Would it have been a roll?
- I didn't know- - [Brennan] It would've been a roll.
- ...they were that bad.
(Siobhan laughs)
- It's an important roll.
- As he calls out, he says,
"Why the fuck would you defend this place
that runs you ragged,
sends you out, lost your summer
chasing a Night Yorb,
doesn't give a fuck about you?"
- Don't pretend like you have principles.
- Yeah. - You just have fucking pride.
- And we brought the Night Yorb.
It was our fault and we fixed it.
Technically, it was Riz's fault,
but I'll take it for the group.
(Murph chuckles) (players laugh)
- I'm in the lava.
- Don't come after Riz! (players laugh)
- I sealed the Night Yorb.
(players laugh)
- Yeah. Yeah, you're looking at the wizard
who fucking sealed the Night Yorb.
- No one wants to engage
with the temptation of my philosophy?
- You're juicing and we can all see it,
and it's kinda sad. - Yeah, it's really sad.
You're like a 45-year-old man who is juiced to the gills.
- And I'm fucking 17 and maximum-
18 today.
- Oh, happy birthday! - (overlapping) Happy birthday!
- Okay, everybody!
Porter,
♪ Happy birthday ♪
- He goes, "Oh, blimey!"
(players laugh) And you see he...
Riz, it's gonna be your turn.
- I think there is no way I can get to Porter.
So I'm gonna keep trying to deal with Kipperlilly, I guess.
- Nice! - [Emily] Yeah!
- Okay, so last I saw Kipperlilly,
she was hiding up here?
- Yep. - Okay.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I would like to hop up out of the fire,
and since this is all difficult terrain,
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna have to use another Misty Step.
- Okay. - But what I
would like to do is use this piece
of the ground here as cover,
and essentially I want to-
I'm not gonna have a bonus action, so I can't hide,
but what I would like to do is set myself up
in such a way that, from Kipperlilly's vantage point,
she has to use a melee attack.
And then, I would like to prepare a reaction
to cast a spell.
- Okay.
- So I make it look like I'm going up to hide.
- Okay. - But my feet
are a little bit visible
behind this thing at a corner.
I'm like- - Gotcha.
So you're gonna Misty Step to get to a place
where she can see you.
- [Murph] She can see me.
- But there's no ability to fire on you
at range. - Correct.
So total cover from range,
but she knows where I am.
- Copy that.
Okay.
So Misty Step move, bonus action.
You vanish, and where is The Ball?
The Ball's right in there? - I would like to be here.
- Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes, you're using the natural landscape and the smoke
provided by all these rats burning in lava to-
(players laugh)
- Their livelihood!
(players laugh)
- [Emily] Their holes!
- Their holes!
- [Siobhan] Their beautiful holes!
- These are different rats. - Lot of smoke. Lot of smoke.
- You jump down there
and basically, from where she's been firing from,
she has to get down into melee with you-
- Correct. - ...in order...
And then you're preparing a melee attack, correct?
- I'm preparing a spell.
- Preparing a spell!
Copy that!
Okay.
You jump down there and prepare.
You hack into a position
where one of the twisting chunks of floor
is potentially going to twist and crush your chest
into the ground to get into this position,
hoping that your timing is just right
for Kipperlilly to show up.
That is your turn.
Readied action. - Okay.
- Figueroth Faeth, that is your turn.
- Okay, does it look like everyone here,
does it look like...
So we're kind of embracing the fire.
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- Does it look like they're just worried
about the difficult terrain,
or are some of them going like, "Ow!"
from the flames?
- You don't see any of them looking particularly chuffed
about the massive lava underneath them.
- Okay, then I think with a 20 foot-
I think with a Fireball, I can get everyone.
- Okay. - One, two, three,
four, five. - Oh yeah.
- [Ally] Get that Concentration out!
(tense music)
- [Brennan] That is everybody there.
- Yeah! - That is correct.
- Nice.
- [Emily] And the range of Fireball is a 150, I think.
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- If I took a bonus action Dash-
- [Brennan] Mm-hmm.
- ...could I dive into the lava out of range of these?
- You could.
If you leave more than 10 feet past Porter,
he'll get an attack of opportunity on you.
(tense music continues)
- I think I have to take it.
I think I have to try.
That's the only chance. - [Murph] What's your HP at?
- [Emily] 36.
- Okay.
(tense music continues) - I think I have to try.
- Okay. - You've got to try.
- They all have their Counterspells back?
'Cause it's like a (inaudible) - Yeah.
So I'm trying to get out of range of them.
I think I grease up the wheels of the skateboard.
- Why are you putting butter on the wheel?
- Because you butter the ramp, you butter the wheels.
- Out of the distance you hear Ragh's voice say,
"Butter it up!"
Buttery skateboard ready to rock.
We are gonna roll. I'm gonna roll Box of Doom
just for the drama.
- These your saving throws for the fire?
- No, no.
This is not saving throws
because- Fig will be outta Counterspell range
and this Fireball is gonna hit a huge cluster of enemies.
That being said, Porter's gonna get an attack of opportunity
and he might, if he rolls well,
be able to knock Fig out
before she can cast the spell.
(tense music continues)
(die rolling)
That's a 19 on the die.
- [Lou] Okay.
- I don't even think-
- He's got like a 30 to attack.
- ...either Shield, Cutting Words.
None of it will do anything.
- So we're just gonna roll damage
and see what he comes up with.
- I used my reaction.
- Is this his attack that does normal damage
or his force damage attack?
- This is his force damage attack.
How many hit points is Fig at right now?
- 36.
- [Brennan] 36. Okay.
(dice rattling)
- Hang in there, Fig!
(tense music continues)
(dice rolling)
- Sounds like d4s.
(dice rolling)
- Yeah, it's just a bunch of d4s.
- Calling it, it's 6d4.
That's gonna be four or five damage.
(players chuckle)
- Seven, eight, nine damage.
- 31 points of damage to Figueroth Faeth.
(Emily groans)
Thank god! (Brennan laughs)
- 31 points of damage.
You, boom, feel the force damage of the mace.
Gah!
You feel the maul hit your back
and the blood.
It's so much pure force
that you can feel your blood carbonize
and turn into rubies in your body
as you (imitates splash) hit the lava.
- You don't know her like I do.
(Brennan exhale angrily)
The goddess that you're trying to kill.
- As you hit the lava (imitates splash)
it covers your face, feeling like a warm bath.
And you see a face of a beautiful woman in radiant light,
her body reconstituting.
She looks at you.
Am I at long last being recalled to the world I knew?
- Yeah, we need you again.
(tense music)
- There are those calling me
who claim me.
I cannot yet tell
what purpose I am called to serve.
- Don't listen to them.
You claim yourself.
I'm the Archdevil of Rebellion.
We don't like authority figures.
You choose your purpose.
- She smiles (exhales)
and blows flame from pursed lips
that, in the lava, wraps around your hands.
The light of the sun, summer mornings,
after a summer spent in eternal night
come flooding into your hands.
What would you like to do?
- I would like to Fireball these guys.
I'm doing a 6th level Fireball.
- Hoo!
- Out of the range of Counterspell,
deep in the lava. (dice rattling)
Here we go!
Go ahead and roll damage.
(dice rolling)
- Okay.
- Nice!
- Oh wow! Look at that!
- Pretty good. - Pretty good.
(tense music continues)
- 45 damage!
- Ooh, doctor!
- [Emily] And it ignites things.
- [Ally] Oh!
- [Brennan] And it ignite?
- [Emily] It ignites everything around them.
- [Brennan] Incredible!
- [Lou] Fires can start.
- [Brennan] Fires can start. - [Emily] Fires can start.
- Okay.
Couple things.
45 damage is a shit load of damage.
We're gonna roll. Mary Ann's gonna roll a Dex save.
That's a nat one.
She takes 45 fire. - Oh!
- You see Mary Ann looks, it catches things on fire.
Her strawberry bursts into flame and she goes,
"Fuck no!" (players laugh)
- Got that dog in her!
- Oh my god! She's got that dog in her!
- [Brennan] Mary Ann looks into flame
and is like, "Fuck no!"
- [Emily] That dog is a Squishmallow.
- That dog is a Squishmallow!
Buddy's gotta roll Dex.
Buddy does not have great Dex.
(intense music)
That is a failure.
He takes a full 45 Fire.
That is a 22 DC Concentration check,
which means he needs a 16 or higher on the die.
- Come on!
(intense music continues)
- He rolls a six!
We will get into what that is
in just a fucking moment, gang.
- [Ally] That's great! That's great! - Hold on one second.
Huge! Absolutely huge fireball!
Still up, Mary Ann and him.
Two Jaces.
Jace Prime and this Jace over here,
despite their Mirror Images,
this is just saving throws.
They can't do shit about it.
(intense music continues)
This is gonna be...
That is a failure from Jace Prime.
He takes 45 points of Fire damage.
(intense music continues)
Loses the fucking hand.
(Siobhan groans) - Oh!
- Bam! Mazey is back!
And then the other one,
that is a failure as well.
That's two.
That was the Lightning Bolt one.
Takes 45.
Both of those Jaces now bloodied-
- Wow!
- Very significantly.
Ruben needs to roll his saving throw.
Your DC is 18.
He needs a 13 or higher on the die.
(tense music)
(die rolling)
(tense music continues)
Natural one.
(Zac sighs)
Describe for me how Ruben Hopclap leaves this world.
(Murph laughs)
- He slowly rolls off,
his stupid emo hair gets caught in some of it.
(Siobhan laughs)
He dangles over the lava pit,
his feet getting burned.
(Murph laughs)
The fear of his own demise absolutely excruciating.
And as he drops into the lava pit,
he makes eye contact with me,
and I say,
"I was Fig all along.
I was in your fucking dreams.
I was outside your fucking window.
I made the 'Complicated Women' podcast."
(players laugh)
- You made a whole podcast?
(players laugh)
That podcast is like three years old!
(Emily laughs)
- I've been waiting for the moment to do it.
It's been a long con.
My final episode's gonna be about my mom.
(players laugh)
- I don't...
I barely understand!
And he falls- - Hey, Ruben.
There's a place for you in Hell.
- What?
(imitates woosh of flame)
You see Ruben falling (wails)
Bam!
And lands in the middle of a huge polka band
as Rip goes, "Hell yeah!"
- I want him to have to just spend
the rest of his life looping cords.
(players laugh)
- Rip goes, "All right, man.
Put the stingers in the bin.
Get 'em in the bed."
Ruben goes, "No!
No! No!
No!"
Just looping very calmly.
(shrieking) No!
No!
I'm being mobbed for autographs!
I'm being mobbed!
(players laugh)
You have sucked Ruben straight to Hell.
Both Jaces, Mary Ann, Buddy,
every single one of them failed their saves,
five in a row.
And as Buddy loses Concentration,
appearing at the back of the gym is a ballot box
that comes out of the Banishment spell.
- Oh! - Oh!
- And that's all for this episode
of "Dimension 20: Fantasy High Junior Year."
We'll see you next week for the thrilling finale.
- Blimey! - Wow!
(players laugh) - Blimey!
- Fucking blimey!
(intense rock music)
(wind whooshes)
- Hi, Jace
- God!
Wizards, you think you're so much better than everybody
just because you understand the principles
that are at work.
- [Siobhan] You could take a level of wizard.
- I can't. I really can't.
I tried.
- Mazey, fight it! (laughs)
- I don't wanna fight it!
I wanna fight you!
- Oh! Oh!
(intense music)
- Is that-
- I don't hate it.
(players laugh)
(Brennan screams)
(intense music continues)
- You burned my strawberry.
- I what?
(Brennan roars)
- She's got that dog in her.
(players laugh)
- You think you can stop me?
Stop me only for a time!
I will rend the world asunder!
And even if she doesn't believe me,
I will let the world burn,
instead of losing.
Ankarna!
I am ready to revere you!
- Girlie, he's lying to you.
- Girl!
- He sounds so convincing!
(Emily laughs)
You don't know him like I know him.
(intense music continues)
- My damage rolls this season are giving me a heart attack!
- What are we doing?
- It's not okay. - It's purposeful.
What?
- Oh! - No!
- I don't need this anymore. - Dab? (players laugh)
- [Brennan] It's no fair!
What's the fucking point?!
(players laugh) (dramatic music)
- You guys, what's for dinner?
- Well, dang!
- (as Arthur Aguefort) Well, dang!
Another great year at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy.
(players laugh) - No, no, no, no, no.
- You don't get to take credit for this!
